14
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 2: a moment. Also, speaking of the YouTube audience, we're gonna

15
00:00:56,080 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 2: start probably next week a little pre show show four

16
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 2: our YouTube viewers that will not be a part of

17
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 2: the actual audio podcast. That is. One reason for that

18
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 2: is to thank you guys for watching us live on YouTube.

19
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 2: Another reason is so we don't have the calamity that

20
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 2: happened last week, which was I was so excited and

21
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 2: so loud that I blew out our audio for a

22
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,759
Speaker 2: podcast listeners, and we had to start the whole show over,

23
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 2: so a little troubleshooting and a little bonus. But speaking

24
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 2: of bonuses, this show is fet You guys know how

25
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 2: this show works. It is me alongside a member of

26
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 2: my family. Now the official co host of the show

27
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 2: is my soon to be twenty five year old son Demanse.

28
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 2: He however, is taking some time off living in Los

29
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,919
Speaker 2: Angeles getting his life set up. He will be back

30
00:01:53,600 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 2: come football season. During his absence, his sister, my now

31
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 2: eighteen year old daughter, Diora, has been filling in for

32
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 2: him as part of a senior project. However, she has

33
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 2: decided today to go to six Flags, so they're calling

34
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 2: it a senior class trip. But again, she goes to

35
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,799
Speaker 2: quite a different school than I think most of our

36
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 2: audience went to. They did post prom in the Hamptons.

37
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 2: They did tried to do spring break at Paradise Island,

38
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 2: and I was a mean, stodgy parent because I wouldn't

39
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 2: let her go as a seventeen year old on a

40
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 2: spring break trip to the Bahamas or Cayman Islands, wherever

41
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 2: the hell it is. And now they're doing a class

42
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 2: trip to six Flags, so who's gonna fill in for

43
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 2: none other than my legendary wife, Danielle, the owner of

44
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 2: the store that we do this from, Trintage here in Harlem,

45
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 2: and a woman who's for some reason gets nervous every

46
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,799
Speaker 2: time she does the show with me. Damp Oo, thank

47
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 2: you so much. Are you wearing all your jewels at

48
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 2: the moment I see the watch, I'm not sure about

49
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 2: what's on the right hand?

50
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 3: Ready for Okay? After this?

51
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 2: Okay? Ready? So are you feeling good about today's show?

52
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 3: I'm feeling great.

53
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 2: You've reviewed it?

54
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 3: I did.

55
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 2: You're fresh off a trip to Los Angeles, fresh off

56
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 2: the plane. Saw our son.

57
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:27,239
Speaker 3: He's doing well, he's doing good.

58
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,920
Speaker 2: Checked out the apartment, yep, did all that. Did some

59
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 2: shopping for the store. So if you stop by Trinted

60
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 2: in the next few weeks, there's some fresh new items

61
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 2: from the West Coast. But we must now get to work.

62
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 2: And again, you can include your questions and comments for

63
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 2: myself or Danielle. We will get to them at the

64
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 2: end of the show in the C block, as we

65
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 2: always do. But here's what missed the cut for episode

66
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 2: one fifty four. Not on the show. Adrian Peterson evidently

67
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 2: not retired. I didn't know that Mike Trout passes Joe

68
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 2: DiMaggio in home runs, Marilyn Monroe not available for comment,

69
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 2: and the Patriots caught cheating once again. You know how

70
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 2: I know. Matt Ford, our producer, must be out and

71
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 2: Gabe sitting in for him because he found a way

72
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 2: to get a Patriots shot in to the preamble of

73
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 2: the show, the Patriots losing two OTAs because of a

74
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 2: legend malfeasance. We don't know what it was, but we

75
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 2: know they had two OTAs taken away. There is also

76
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 2: some breaking news courtesy of sham Sharania moments ago. Gabe Vincent,

77
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 2: the undrafted but playing great guard for the Miami Heat,

78
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 2: out tonight with a sprained ankle. That leads us nicely

79
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 2: into our first topic, Dampoo, take a deep breath, believe

80
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 2: in yourself, and go right ahead.

81
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 3: Boston did not get swept, but you still believe in

82
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 3: the Heat even if Vegas doesn't yep. Denver, on the

83
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 3: other hand, is going to have to wait ten days

84
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 3: between games because Lebron couldn't avoid another sweep.

85
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 2: Okay, the guys swept in the finals previously.

86
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 3: It is actually good for the Heat. That they lost

87
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 3: so they can get so they don't get rusty before

88
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 3: the finals. And are they given the Celtics any chance

89
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 3: at the comeback?

90
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 2: All right, so are you get Yeah, I'm not the

91
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 2: There is shockingly high amounts of optimism surrounding the Celtics'

92
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 2: ability to come back from three to nothing. Now, I

93
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,919
Speaker 2: said when the Lakers were down three to zero that

94
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 2: some team at some point is going to do it.

95
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 2: This Boston Celtics team is not that team. So no,

96
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 2: I'm not giving them a chance at the comeback. The

97
00:05:53,400 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 2: idea that Eric Spolstra and Jimmy Butler are going, pardon me,

98
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 2: are going to lose four straight games up three to

99
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 2: zero to Joe Mizzoula in company, it's just not realistic.

100
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 2: And the line for this game is Boston minus nine.

101
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 2: Boston was favored by eight in Game one, by nine

102
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 2: and a half in Game two, by four on the road.

103
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 2: In Game three. The only game they've been an underdog

104
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 2: all series was Game four point and a half underdog,

105
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:33,039
Speaker 2: and they won it. And now it's right back to Vegas,

106
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 2: loving the Celtics and disrespecting the Heat the series. The

107
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 2: Heat are only minus two sixty. You and I are

108
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 2: in the market for a new car. I considered I've

109
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 2: not pulled the trigger, but I have a few hours

110
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 2: left to do it in putting a not a car

111
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:58,839
Speaker 2: sized wager, but a car down payment sized wager on

112
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 2: the Heat for the series because minus two sixty up

113
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 2: three to one when they and this is where people

114
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 2: can't divorce themselves from talent on paper and winning basketball

115
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 2: and playoff winning basketball. I've heard from my co hosts

116
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 2: on TV, across other television shows, across other podcasts well,

117
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 2: the Celtics the reason they have a chance is they

118
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 2: have so much more talent. Who cares these playoffs? The

119
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 2: Miami Heat, not just this series, this entire postseason, the

120
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 2: Miami Heat have been dominant. Only Denver has matched their

121
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 2: level of domination round by round. Round one, they played

122
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 2: Milwaukee one game one, got up three to one in

123
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 2: the series. Round two, they played the Knicks, one game one,

124
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 2: got up three to one in the series. Round three,

125
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 2: they played the Celtics, one game one, got up three

126
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 2: to one in the series. Boston, on the other hand,

127
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 2: Round one loses a game five at home to Atlanta

128
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 2: and needs a sixth game. The Celtics in Round two

129
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 2: lose a Game five at home to Philly, and Bats

130
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 2: are up against the wall and need a brilliant final

131
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 2: few minutes from Tatum in Game six after an awful

132
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 2: start to the game, and then a fifty piece in

133
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 2: Game seven to escape them. And in round three were

134
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:43,719
Speaker 2: dead for the first fourteen quarters of this series, and

135
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 2: then had a good final half of Game four, and

136
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, people are, huh, don't let you

137
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 2: Boston wins tonight. All the pressures on my The idea

138
00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 2: that Boston that has not been consistent all postseason is

139
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 2: gonna string together four straight excellent games is just not realistic.

140
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 2: Now to your other question, is it good for the

141
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,199
Speaker 2: heat that they lost so they don't get rusted for

142
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 2: the finals? I I don't think it's good that they lost,

143
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 2: But had they won Game four, they would have headed

144
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 2: into the finals when the Finals started on June first,

145
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 2: not having lost a game in three weeks prior to

146
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 2: Game four. Their most recent loss was May tenth. The

147
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 2: final start June first. So do I think that there

148
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,839
Speaker 2: are some positives that can come from a Miami team

149
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 2: recognizing they need to refocus and that if we are

150
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 2: not the hungriest grittiest, first to loose balls, locked in

151
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 2: defensively team that anybody can beat us. Yeah, I do

152
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 2: think there is a positive now. The negative is, of course,

153
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 2: the extra games and the extra risk of injury. I

154
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 2: don't think Gabe Vincent has any real risk of missing

155
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 2: time for the finals with the ankle sprain, but the

156
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,719
Speaker 2: more game if Jimmy gets banged up, if any if

157
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 2: Bam gets banged up, then they go into the finals

158
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 2: essentially drawing dead. And so there is a level of risk.

159
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 2: But it should be noted Boston has been worse at

160
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 2: home than on the road the last two postseasons. They're

161
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 2: below five hundred at home this postseason. The idea that

162
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 2: them coming home is some panacea for him is just

163
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 2: not realistic to who they've been. So I picked Miami

164
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 2: before this series, before the playoffs, when it looked like

165
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 2: we were getting Celtics Heat, I said, I thought the

166
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 2: Heat were a bad matchup for him. I don't care

167
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 2: about the college pro file of the Miami Heat players.

168
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 2: They have the best coach in basketball, they have one

169
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 2: of the best playoff performers in basketball, and Jimmy Butler.

170
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 2: They have a wildly underrated number two in BAM and

171
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 2: they have a culture that works. So I like the

172
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 2: heat in the series. I even like the heat tonight.

173
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 3: All right, next Dampo, Anthony Davis has taken major heat

174
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 3: after his up and down postseason. The lebron picked the

175
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 3: wrong running mate to be his co star when it

176
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 3: comes to LA.

177
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 2: Well, so to me, this is where we get a

178
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 2: little unfair. So Anthony Davis offensively. So let me describe

179
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 2: a player to you. Okay, this player is unquestionably great defensively.

180
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 2: He is a seven footer but doesn't or seven footer

181
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 2: ish but is not listed as such. It takes more

182
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 2: jump shots than guy a guy his size typically would,

183
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 2: doesn't like to really bang down low, and is you

184
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 2: can rely on him for twenty points a night, but

185
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 2: thirty point games are a bonus. Another thing about this

186
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:29,439
Speaker 2: player at his first stop had essentially no playoff success whatsoever,

187
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 2: with one year being an exception, and needed to go

188
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 2: to a major market with major history with another Hall

189
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:45,319
Speaker 2: of Famer in order to break through. I just described

190
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:50,680
Speaker 2: Anthony Davis. I also just described Kevin Garnett, who is

191
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:54,559
Speaker 2: universally considered one of the thirty five greatest players ever.

192
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 2: Nobody talks trash on his career. Nobody kills him for

193
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:04,439
Speaker 2: the fact that his entire time in Minnesota they were

194
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 2: they didn't get passed round one except for one year,

195
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 2: and that he couldn't get over the top until he

196
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 2: got with Ray Allen and Paul Pierce. That is also

197
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 2: true for Anthony Davis and great now Kevin Garnett had

198
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 2: a better level of intensity and his body held up

199
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,719
Speaker 2: more and we might say was not as naturally physically

200
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 2: gifted as a d But that is guys whose biggest

201
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 2: strength is their the defensive end. We consider their ups

202
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 2: and downs offensively at times without considering the consistent dominance defensively. Furthermore,

203
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 2: Lebron and ad won a title and just made the

204
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:56,439
Speaker 2: conference finals as the seventh seed. So is he the

205
00:13:56,520 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 2: perfect fit? Do you wish Anthony Davis? Instead of being satisfied,

206
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:08,079
Speaker 2: it would seem being one of the ten best players

207
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 2: in basketball, took the steps to be one of the

208
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 2: three best players in basketball. Sure, but asking a lot man,

209
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 2: everybody can't be Yannis or at this point you gotta

210
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 2: say Jokic or Steph or Durant. The guys who go

211
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 2: years on end and their bad playoff performances are one

212
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 2: in every twelve games, one in every nine games, one

213
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 2: in every fourteen games. Those are the greatest players in

214
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 2: the history of the sport. Even Durant had him more

215
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 2: often than you would like. Yannis doesn't have him anymore.

216
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 2: Jokic is starting to build a resume of not having them.

217
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 2: Lebron you could find a six year stretch where he

218
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 2: had maybe five actually bad playoff games. Steph has won

219
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 2: every month in the playoffs. But those are some of

220
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 2: the greatest players ever. Anthony Davis isn't that that's not

221
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 2: an indictment on him. It's just like it's not an

222
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 2: indictment on Tatum that Tatum's up and down a bit now.

223
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 2: Tatum's offensive peaks are far higher than Anthony Davis's, but

224
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 2: Anthony Davis's defensive best in the world when he's locked in.

225
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 3: So do you think that ad is still the player

226
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 3: the Lakers should build a future around.

227
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 2: Well, I don't think Anthony Davis is going to be

228
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 2: the best guy on a champion. I think it's either

229
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 2: going to have to be. If he is, it's gonna

230
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 2: have to be the Garnet path where he has two

231
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 2: not one other two other great players. He's the best guy,

232
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 2: but it's close, and the other guys can fill in

233
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 2: the blanks. I but there are not a lot of

234
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 2: You look around and say who would you rather have

235
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 2: than Anthony Davis? You can't say embiid So in my opinion,

236
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 2: you can't there that. You call that a push. So

237
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 2: would you rather have Jokic? Okay? Sure? Not available? Giannis

238
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 2: not available? Steph not available? In getting older? So this

239
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 2: idea of trade Anthony Davis, I don't buy now. Kevin

240
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 2: O'Connor and we talked about on TV discussed the four

241
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 2: possible outcomes for Lebron and one of them was him

242
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 2: requesting a trade. We will get to that later in

243
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 2: the show because what koc laid out is intriguing. We'll

244
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 2: get to that later in the show, but first let's

245
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 2: get to some football. Go ahead, Danielle.

246
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 3: It is rumored this off season that mahone may rework

247
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 3: his contract. He's no longer even one of the five

248
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:09,919
Speaker 3: highest paid quarterbacks in football. Mahomes ultimate goal is to

249
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 3: pass Brady eventually, and now he's saying he's prioritizing his

250
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:17,879
Speaker 3: legacy over his paycheck. Should he take discounts to catch

251
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 3: Tom Brady.

252
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 2: Okay, so first of all, I gotta say.

253
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 3: What I do.

254
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 2: You are just adorable. You didn't say anything, you just

255
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 2: I can feel your heart beating when you're reading these.

256
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:31,920
Speaker 3: I don't like it because I don't know what I'm reading.

257
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 3: That's the thing, like, you know, when you have to

258
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 3: be confident and you like know what you're what you're

259
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 3: talking about.

260
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:41,879
Speaker 2: I understand talking about NFL quarterback salary cap stuff is

261
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:45,879
Speaker 2: not exactly exactly. I understand that I'm here for you.

262
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 3: And that's all that matters.

263
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 2: And you're pinch hitting and we appreciate it. You are

264
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:54,440
Speaker 2: just such a confident person in every walk of life, right,

265
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 2: and then you have to read these sports questions and

266
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 2: you're like the kid giving the present, right exactly. You're

267
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 2: just so nervous.

268
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 3: I'm glad that you put it out there so people

269
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 3: can understand.

270
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, you're doing great, baby. All right. So here's

271
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 2: the deal. Mahomes in a weird spot because Mahomes could

272
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:23,120
Speaker 2: every single year demand a new contract and the Chiefs

273
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 2: should give it to him. Every single year. He could say, oh,

274
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 2: who's the highest paid guy? Is he better than me? No?

275
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,959
Speaker 2: I want more than him. So Lamar just got X.

276
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 2: I want X plus a dollar and Joe Burrow's getting

277
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 2: a new one. Give me xplusit, give me y plus

278
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 2: a dollar. He could do that. He is opting to

279
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 2: go a different path. And the path he's opting for

280
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 2: is I need to be one of the highest paid.

281
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 2: But if I leave some meat on the bone for

282
00:18:56,160 --> 00:19:02,360
Speaker 2: my contract, does that allow us to be more aggressive

283
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:07,399
Speaker 2: when it comes to acquiring players and keep other great

284
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:13,400
Speaker 2: players and such as Chris Jones. The guy who's really

285
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 2: underpaid for the Chiefs is Travis Kelcey, wildly underpaid, but

286
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:22,719
Speaker 2: he doesn't seem to care. I do not think it

287
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 2: is Mahomes's responsibility. And I understand folks who make the

288
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 2: argument of he should take every single dollar he can

289
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 2: possibly make. What I would tell you is this strategy

290
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 2: for him? It might actually be from a pure dollars

291
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 2: and cents standpoint, the smartest because let's say that Patrick

292
00:19:53,640 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 2: Mahomes this year is leaving seven million dollars on the table, okay,

293
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 2: and let's say that number next year'd be eight million,

294
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:11,719
Speaker 2: nine million. Let's say that number is seven million, eight million,

295
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 2: nine million, ten million, increasing over the next decade of

296
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:19,440
Speaker 2: his career, do that math over the next decade, he'd

297
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:24,879
Speaker 2: be leaving on the table about one hundred million dollars. Okay,

298
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 2: do you think you could make the argument that it

299
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 2: is worth one hundred million dollars not in feeling or

300
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 2: emotion or success, one hundred million dollars in actual cash

301
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 2: if he becomes the universally recognized greatest football player ever,

302
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 2: one hundred million dollars in more endorsements, in more opportunities,

303
00:20:56,720 --> 00:21:02,359
Speaker 2: better marketing, more, more investments that people try to bring

304
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 2: him in on because of who he is. What has

305
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 2: being Tom Brady earned Tom Brady as opposed to if

306
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 2: Brady had won two Super Bowls or even three Super Bowls,

307
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:20,360
Speaker 2: how much money did Brady make as cream on the

308
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 2: top once he universally passed Joe Montana. I think financially

309
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 2: for Mahomes, there is more money in continuing to win

310
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:39,920
Speaker 2: Super Bowls then there is an actual salary as long

311
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,159
Speaker 2: as he's not as long as we're done about it,

312
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 2: between forty five million and fifty million, as oppose of

313
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 2: the difference between forty five million and eighty million. That

314
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 2: money can't be made up totally. So I do think

315
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:55,119
Speaker 2: there's that now I understand. Andrew Brant, who used to

316
00:21:55,160 --> 00:22:00,199
Speaker 2: run the Packers, writes for SI is Big on that

317
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 2: the cap is a myth and no player should ever

318
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:09,399
Speaker 2: take a discount and teams can rework things and players

319
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:14,640
Speaker 2: and agents are being tricked. I vehemently disagree with him

320
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:19,359
Speaker 2: on that when it comes to a player who plans

321
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:23,400
Speaker 2: to be with a team for a decade plus, yes,

322
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 2: you can borrow from future years to pay a player

323
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:31,919
Speaker 2: cash and not have it hit the cap. Absolutely, but

324
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:38,439
Speaker 2: every dollar eventually becomes due. And if Mahomes's plan is

325
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:42,120
Speaker 2: to be with the Chiefs until twenty thirty five, there

326
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 2: is no world where the money they pay him doesn't

327
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 2: eventually impact their ability in a season. He's on the

328
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 2: roster to field the best team possible. And so now

329
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 2: if the Chiefs ended up, you know, getting a discount

330
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 2: with Mahomes and then not spending to the cap or

331
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,639
Speaker 2: being cheap those types of things, then he would have

332
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 2: a gripe. Thus far, that hasn't happened, and thus far

333
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 2: you can say, oh, well, they didn't want to pay Tyreek,

334
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:15,919
Speaker 2: but it's not because they were being cheap. It was

335
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 2: because they wanted to spend those resources elsewhere. And they

336
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:21,679
Speaker 2: ended up winning the Super Bowl. So I love what

337
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:25,680
Speaker 2: he's doing. I think it's smart what he's doing, and

338
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:30,639
Speaker 2: I think that right now it is very noteworthy to

339
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 2: see what Joe Burrow does and other quarterbacks trying to

340
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:37,160
Speaker 2: compete with him.

341
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:40,880
Speaker 3: All right, Next, Aaron Rodgers just can't wait to get

342
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 3: out of the new I mean, you can't stay out

343
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 3: of it and stay at noon. He hurt his cap

344
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:49,119
Speaker 3: in his first practice with the Jets. Roger says that

345
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 3: he wakes up excited to come to the facility every day. Yep,

346
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:56,639
Speaker 3: are you already getting a bad feeling about Roger's Jets marriage.

347
00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 2: It's not so much that I'm getting a bad feeling,

348
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 2: it's that this is I think a lesson will be

349
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 2: a lesson for folks in any walk of life, any business,

350
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 2: about the importance of underpromising and over delivering, the importance

351
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 2: of expectation setting. Okay, So you see this in politics

352
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 2: a lot, where before a presidential debate you will have

353
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 2: people from a candidate's own camp talk to the media about,

354
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 2: am our guy's not a great debater. We're worried about this.

355
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:46,160
Speaker 2: This is not his strong suit. That way, if he

356
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:50,679
Speaker 2: has he or she has just a mediocre performance. We

357
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 2: were like, oh, beat expectations. This is why in a

358
00:24:55,480 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 2: marriage or with your kids before Christmas, Moore, if you

359
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:05,359
Speaker 2: lead them to believe they're getting a pony and it

360
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 2: ends up being a puppy, they might actually be disappointed

361
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,159
Speaker 2: when if you let them to believe can't do anything

362
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 2: for Christmas this year, and then you come home with

363
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:17,199
Speaker 2: a puppy there over the moon. So why am I

364
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,479
Speaker 2: bringing up with the Packer or sorry, with the Jets

365
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 2: and Rogers. The Jets and Rogers could have talked playoffs,

366
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 2: competing for the division, beating the Patriots for the first

367
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:37,680
Speaker 2: time in eight years, as these we are building things. Lebron,

368
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 2: by the way, learned this lesson when Lebron went to Miami.

369
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:48,440
Speaker 2: He holds that press conference and says not six, not seven,

370
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:52,919
Speaker 2: not eight when it came to championships, and then he

371
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 2: wins two and four years, goes to four finals and

372
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 2: people are like, ah, kind of a disappointment. When he

373
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:04,120
Speaker 2: to Cleveland in that article for Sports Illustrated, he said,

374
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 2: I know it won't be fast, I know it won't

375
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 2: be easy, but we're going to try to build to

376
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 2: eventually be a champion. He was in Cleveland for the

377
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 2: same amount of time he was in Miami. Four years.

378
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 2: They won one title. People think it was a resounding success.

379
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:27,640
Speaker 2: Rogers got there and immediately started talking Super Bowl. Lombardes

380
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:31,479
Speaker 2: Robert Sala yesterday said there's only six or eight teams

381
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 2: competing for the Super Bowl. We're one of them. Well, now,

382
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 2: if you go twelve and five but don't win the

383
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 2: division and lose in the divisional round, it would simultaneously.

384
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 3: Be isn't that what they're supposed to do? Like basically

385
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 3: make the fans feel good like I'm here to do

386
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 3: what I'm supposed to do. Like, you know, I think.

387
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 2: That's what their argument would be. My argument is, Jets fan,

388
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,160
Speaker 2: the fans were going to be thinking super Bowl no

389
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 2: matter what got you. But you want to level set

390
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 2: expectations to where you can exceed them. And now, all

391
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 2: of a sudden, if they're twelve and five and losing

392
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:19,919
Speaker 2: the divisional round, that will simultaneously be the best Jets

393
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 2: season in a decade and a disappointment. That's a mistake.

394
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 2: Now you can't sell Let's just compete for the playoffs.

395
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 2: See what happens if you're the Chiefs. The Chiefs now

396
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 2: have the burden of success and of expectations, where every

397
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 2: year it is Super Bowl or bust. But that's because

398
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 2: of what they've accomplished. The Jets lost I think six

399
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,240
Speaker 2: straight games to finished the year the worst quarterback in

400
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:52,160
Speaker 2: the league. So I don't think the marriage is doomed,

401
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:55,680
Speaker 2: but I think they have set the bar too high

402
00:27:55,680 --> 00:28:00,920
Speaker 2: for themselves, and I think that's a mistake. Dampo doing

403
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:05,159
Speaker 2: a great job. We're gonna play some games here. You

404
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:08,640

435
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 2: In the morning of, I said, I was like, you

436
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 2: don't have to do it. I can just do it

437
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 2: by myself, and she was like, no, I'll do it.

438
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 2: I was like, boy, this could be you talk about

439
00:29:56,920 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 2: you being nervous reading those questions. I was more nervous

440
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 2: during that show than I was the first time I

441
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 2: filled in for Colin on the Herd Wow, because I

442
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 2: was like, this is like an hour of just live

443
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:17,000

444
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was really mad at you.

445
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 2: You were really mad at it.

446
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 3: And I had a right to be mad at you.

447
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 3: That's why you were so hard.

448
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 2: Okay, we don't need to get in.

449
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 3: I'm just saying I just want people to know that

450
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 3: Nick made me very upset, and it was it was,

451
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 3: it was. It was a good reason for me to

452
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 3: be upset.

453
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 2: It was Honestly, I felt like the way I would

454
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 2: imagine a producer of one of those New Year's Eve

455
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 2: shows feels when they know their host the like for

456
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 2: rocking New Year's Eve has had a couple too many cocktails, huh,

457
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:52,479
Speaker 2: and it's like, oh my god, whole career could just

458
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 2: go like go up and smoke here. No, I know

459
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 2: I am talking about for the producer, but I'm just

460
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 2: saying where it's just like you're just holding on for

461
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:07,520

466
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 2: your favorite topic, Lebron James, go ahead.

467
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 3: My favorite topic?

468
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 2: Your favorite? Uh huh?

469
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 3: Okay? What the Lakers now eliminated? Lebron's future is a mystery.

470
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 3: The Lakers GM said our hope would be his career continues.

471
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:40,520
Speaker 3: It's time to polish off an old game for old

472
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 3: man Lebron. Likely maybe what.

473
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 2: If, yep, you will give us.

474
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 3: You will give us a likely outcome for Lebron next year,

475
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 3: a slightly more far fetched move and an out and

476
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 3: an out of left field idea. So what's Lebron up

477
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 3: to next?

478
00:31:56,920 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 2: All right? The most likely outcome is you just comes

479
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 2: back and plays for the Lakers. That's the most likely.

480
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 2: Is that the postgame press conference referencing retirement was a

481
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 2: combination of frustration, exhaustion, and I also thought credit where

482
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 2: it's due. I think it was Bill Simmons who made

483
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 2: this point. I also think for the first time in

484
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 2: Lebron's life, he played and you know what, Brew also

485
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 2: made this point. Brew and Bill Simmons made various versions

486
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 2: of this point. He played in a playoff game where

487
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 2: he played his best and he wasn't the best guy

488
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 2: out there. And I think that was Jarring. Now, he's

489
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 2: obviously lost plenty of times, and he had the series

490
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 2: against the Mavericks where he was not even close the

491
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 2: best guy out there, but he played terribly Lebron in

492
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 2: this game, played all forty eight minutes, had a career

493
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 2: high first half points, and at the end of it

494
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 2: was gassed and they lost, and the ball was in

495
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 2: his hands and he didn't make the shot. And I

496
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:22,720
Speaker 2: think there's a man, you know I have I'm far, far,

497
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaker 2: far closer to the end than to the beginning. So

498
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 2: I think all of that was wrapped around his comments

499
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:34,959
Speaker 2: about retirement. I think a little bit of it was

500
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 2: putting pressure on the Lakers, like gotta win now, gotta

501
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 2: win now? Do I know there is this narrative he

502
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 2: was trying to change the story from him missing the

503
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 2: shots at the end that to me, I mean he

504
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 2: had forty ten and nine and played the whole game,

505
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 2: was guarding Jokic, Like, I don't think that's what it was.

506
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 2: So I think the most likely is he's just back,

507
00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 2: go ahead, just something you will say no.

508
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 3: But I just think that sometimes some people are frustrated,

509
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:03,480
Speaker 3: they say things yeah they don't actually mean.

510
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 2: They don't or exactly right. Maybe though, because I do

511
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:13,880
Speaker 2: think he is going to have the first surgery of

512
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 2: his career this offseason, first real surgery on that tendon

513
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 2: in his foot. Maybe he waits to have it until

514
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 2: late summer and because of that, misses the first fifteen

515
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 2: to twenty thirty games of the year, so he has

516
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 2: more in the tank at the end of the season.

517
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:41,759
Speaker 2: So not a retirement, but a partial season due to

518
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 2: the surgery.

519
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 3: Do you like that idea?

520
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:51,839
Speaker 2: I actually advocated that Lebron do this a few years ago.

521
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 2: Was that with Lebron, I mean, he's played sixty five

522
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 2: thousand minutes. Only Kareem has played more. Only Kareem and

523
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 2: Robert Parrish have played more games. Only six players in

524
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 2: the league history have played a twenty first season, and

525
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:14,880
Speaker 2: only three guys, Dirk, Vince and KG actually played in

526
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 2: their twenty first seasons. The other guys were just, you know,

527
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:21,680
Speaker 2: played a couple of minutes all year. That Lebron, it

528
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 2: maybe would be smart for him to be a fifty

529
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 2: game a season guy into the playoffs as he got older.

530
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:34,920
Speaker 2: I don't hate the idea, However, can you trust the

531
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 2: Lakers if he were to miss thirty games to not

532
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:42,600
Speaker 2: be in the same position they found themselves in this year.

533
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 2: Where one of the things that hurt the Lakers, and

534
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 2: one of the reasons Lebron ran out of gas at

535
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 2: the end despite playing all forty eight in the final game,

536
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:56,839
Speaker 2: was they their playoffs started in March because they were

537
00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:01,440
Speaker 2: they were the eleven seed, so they were playing the Nuggets,

538
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 2: locked up the one seed and rested people. The Lakers

539
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:08,879
Speaker 2: were in the eleventh spot and had to win every night.

540
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:12,759
Speaker 2: And so since Lebron came back from his injury March

541
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 2: twenty six, two months ago, not only do he and

542
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:20,439
Speaker 2: ad have the most minutes of anyone in basketball, they're

543
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 2: over nine hundred and there's only three other guys over

544
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:29,839
Speaker 2: eight hundred or in the eight hundreds. And so I

545
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,319
Speaker 2: do think that he had two months of playoffs in him,

546
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:38,479
Speaker 2: but the playoffs started early. What if is what if

547
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:45,360
Speaker 2: Lebron for the first time in his career, says I

548
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 2: want to trade. So this is something Kevin O'Connor brought up,

549
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 2: and it does warrant some discussion. So Lebron, to his credit,

550
00:36:56,560 --> 00:37:01,160
Speaker 2: has finished every contract he's ever signed. He has only

551
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:04,880
Speaker 2: left teams via free agency. Now I know technically when

552
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 2: he went to Miami the first or when he went

553
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 2: to Miami he was a sign in trade, but he

554
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 2: was a free agent and he signed there. He has

555
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:16,920
Speaker 2: one year left on his deal and then a player option. Now.

556
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:19,400
Speaker 2: I don't think it's likely demands a trade in part

557
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:22,879
Speaker 2: because his son is going to usc and he's gonna

558
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 2: want to watch him play, But there have been There

559
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:28,359
Speaker 2: was an odd quote from Lebron a couple months ago

560
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:32,759
Speaker 2: where he said, just because it's my dream to play

561
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 2: with Bronni doesn't mean it's his.

562
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:39,440
Speaker 3: And yeah, I wouldn't want to play with my dad.

563
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:42,919
Speaker 2: Well, so there's there's something to that. There is also

564
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:48,760
Speaker 2: something too. Again I do not know their relationship at all,

565
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:54,960
Speaker 2: but as a parent, I could totally imagine a scenario

566
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:59,719
Speaker 2: where at fourteen and fifteen, when Bronni is starting to

567
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:03,799
Speaker 2: ass sinned as an athlete, him and Lebron being in

568
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 2: lockstep son, I'm a hold on until you get to

569
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:10,800
Speaker 2: the league. I'm gonna help you get to the league.

570
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:13,879
Speaker 2: We're gonna play together, and the kid being like, oh

571
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 2: my god, that would be the coolest thing ever at

572
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:20,279
Speaker 2: fourteen years old, and at eighteen years old with a

573
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:24,640
Speaker 2: seven million dollar nil deal of his own and the

574
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 2: most popular kid in school. And I would imagine girlfriends

575
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:31,680
Speaker 2: and millions of followers on social and now going to

576
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:34,799
Speaker 2: USC and like, I mean, I don't want to hang

577
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 2: out with you dad, right, Like that is the idea.

578
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:44,800
Speaker 2: It sounds funny, but the idea that for Bronni Lebron

579
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 2: is just kind of corny and old.

580
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:50,040
Speaker 3: Yeah. And I was like, when we went to do

581
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:53,160
Speaker 3: Yours brom nobody knew you were her dad. She hadn't

582
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:53,840
Speaker 3: told anybody.

583
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 4: Oh that that that was hilarious.

584
00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:59,360
Speaker 2: That you want to tell that story to the audience

585
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:00,920
Speaker 2: real quick. Then I'll get to the Lebron.

586
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:03,759
Speaker 3: What if everybody's like Nick writes here, Nick writes, you

587
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:05,440
Speaker 3: can hear all the boys, Nick, right?

588
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:05,719
Speaker 2: Nick?

589
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:08,400
Speaker 3: Great, somebody introduced himself and he's like, what are you

590
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 3: doing here? He's like, I'm yours dad? Really?

591
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:18,520
Speaker 2: Yeah? So my daughter evidently as hidden the fact that

592
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:22,240
Speaker 2: I'm that who like who she is? Who I am from?

593
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:26,360
Speaker 2: Not from her friends, no, but from like the outer circle.

594
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:32,279
Speaker 2: Because ultimately, no kid really at that age thinks their

595
00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:34,800
Speaker 2: parents cool wants to hang out with them matter.

596
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:35,120
Speaker 3: What they do.

597
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:38,799
Speaker 2: Doesn't matter what they do, And so could I see

598
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:45,200
Speaker 2: a scenario where Bronnie doesn't want Lebron Court sided these

599
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 2: USC games, you know what I mean, doesn't the and

600
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:52,279
Speaker 2: so again I'm not saying that's what it is, but

601
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:56,400
Speaker 2: just as a parent, I can I could see that happening.

602
00:39:57,200 --> 00:40:02,319
Speaker 2: So if he were to demand a trade, we now

603
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 2: have to thread the needle of Danielle. A team that

604
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:12,160
Speaker 2: has the salaries to make it work, has assets the

605
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:18,279
Speaker 2: Lakers might want and would be interested in trading any

606
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:22,799
Speaker 2: type of assets for what might just be one year

607
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:27,040
Speaker 2: of Lebron James. Because once you're at his age, his

608
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:31,760
Speaker 2: portion of his career, he could retire at any moment

609
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:36,279
Speaker 2: and to go back to the Bronny thing. If he

610
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 2: and Bronnie do play on playing with each other, that

611
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:43,399
Speaker 2: could happen as recently as in as soon as two

612
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:46,680
Speaker 2: years from now or a year and a half from now.

613
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:48,640
Speaker 2: And so when he team trading for him is like, well, okay,

614
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:50,560
Speaker 2: well his contract's only got a year left. He could

615
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:53,560
Speaker 2: leave in a year and we would be, you know,

616
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:58,000
Speaker 2: out whatever we traded for him. So what team has

617
00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:05,239
Speaker 2: the assets, believes they can win right now and would

618
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:09,800
Speaker 2: make sense for Lebron Well that's when Kevin O'Connor brings

619
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 2: up the Golden State Warriors. You start having a real

620
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:18,360
Speaker 2: discussion there. Go ahead, What are you shaking her head about?

621
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:19,920
Speaker 2: Why do you not like the sound of it?

622
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:25,719
Speaker 3: I mean, it's just been his rival forever, you know,

623
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:28,600
Speaker 3: It's just it just doesn't sound right. I mean, you know,

624
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:31,040
Speaker 3: but I guess it was for that for Durant as well.

625
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 2: So people would say, oh, Durant did it, and you

626
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:36,760
Speaker 2: killed Durant for doing it. You'd be fine if Lebron

627
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:40,240
Speaker 2: did it, This would be an apples and bowling bulls.

628
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:43,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, because I think Durant he was supposed to be

629
00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 3: the best player, and he was supposed to just build

630
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:48,680
Speaker 3: something off of Durant, and then he went to the Warriors, right,

631
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:49,640
Speaker 3: so what you're kind of like?

632
00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 2: And the Warriors had a that the Warriors had just

633
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:58,920
Speaker 2: won seventy three games, had just beaten.

634
00:41:58,640 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 3: Durant, right exactly.

635
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:04,480
Speaker 2: And Durant was in the prime of his career. Steph

636
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:08,120
Speaker 2: was in the prime of his career. Lebron and Steph

637
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:12,440
Speaker 2: are will be Lebron will be the oldest player in

638
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:15,480
Speaker 2: the league next year, Steph one of the oldest. The

639
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:19,080
Speaker 2: Lakers just beat the Warriors. The Warriors are on a

640
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:22,080
Speaker 2: seventy three win team, they were the sixth seed. It

641
00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:25,319
Speaker 2: would be like a last hurrah. Why else would the

642
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:29,920
Speaker 2: Warriors make So the trade would be Jordan Poole, Jonathan Kaminga,

643
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:34,680
Speaker 2: Moses Moody. So the Warriors would be getting off Pool's

644
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:37,600
Speaker 2: contract and the Lakers will be thinking, maybe he'll get

645
00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:40,319
Speaker 2: back to being the player he was before Draymond punched him.

646
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:45,000
Speaker 2: If Draymond's gone, you'd get the young lottery picks and

647
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:50,319
Speaker 2: Cominga and Moody. Here's the other thing. The Warriors are

648
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:54,399
Speaker 2: about to have a contentious negotiation with Draymond Green. They

649
00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:57,920
Speaker 2: want him back, but they want him to take a discount.

650
00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 2: It's going to be impossible to miants Draymond to take

651
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:04,560
Speaker 2: less money than Jordan Poole makes thirty two million a year.

652
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:07,440
Speaker 2: You know what I think would be a good negotiating

653
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:10,400
Speaker 2: position if you're the Warriors, go to Draymond and be like, so,

654
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:13,800
Speaker 2: here's the deal. We want you to sign for twenty

655
00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:19,719
Speaker 2: million a year, three years, sixty million bucks. We know

656
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 2: that doesn't sound good deal, but what if we traded

657
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:28,280
Speaker 2: away the kid you hit, don't deal with him anymore,

658
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:33,640
Speaker 2: and the person we got back. Is your best bud

659
00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:37,960
Speaker 2: who you bear hugged after the playoffs, Lebron James. I

660
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:40,879
Speaker 2: think Draymond might be amenable to that. How good would

661
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:45,200
Speaker 2: that team be? Well, you would start Steph Clay, Lebron,

662
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:50,279
Speaker 2: Draymond Looney. You would have Wiggins and Gary Payton coming

663
00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:54,120
Speaker 2: off the bench. Wow, that can win the title. Yeah,

664
00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:56,600
Speaker 2: that would be the favorites to win the title. Now,

665
00:43:56,680 --> 00:44:00,520
Speaker 2: it would be a very short window, but and the

666
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:04,279
Speaker 2: Warriors luxury tax bill would be obscene. However, they would

667
00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:09,000
Speaker 2: then just be recognizing our two track plan went awry

668
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:12,600
Speaker 2: and we're gonna try to peel one more title. I

669
00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:16,920
Speaker 2: don't think it's insane. I absolutely think it's on the board,

670
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:18,400
Speaker 2: and I don't want to say it's on the board.

671
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:23,359
Speaker 2: But if Lebron were to demand a trade, is there

672
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:28,520
Speaker 2: any other team that makes a ton of sense? Not really.

673
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:31,799
Speaker 2: If he wants to stay in LA, he's not gonna

674
00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:34,440
Speaker 2: go to the Clippers, I mean stay in California. I

675
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:37,759
Speaker 2: mean it's not gonna go to the Clippers. The King's timeline.

676
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:41,400
Speaker 2: It doesn't make sense. He's not gonna go out east

677
00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:46,640
Speaker 2: like there's something there. So I think he just returns

678
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:49,080
Speaker 2: as a Laker. I think maybe he missed the start

679
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:51,759
Speaker 2: of the season. And what if he says, send me

680
00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:55,000
Speaker 2: to the Warriors pool Kaming and Moody works. The Warriors

681
00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:57,480
Speaker 2: have the best seven man rotation in basketball.

682
00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:00,840
Speaker 3: It'd be pretty fun to watch more.

683
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:04,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would imagine, I mean it would because you

684
00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:09,640
Speaker 2: like the Warriors Wars. Yeah, I'm his. And one last

685
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:13,800
Speaker 2: point on this. An odd part of this phase of

686
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:19,360
Speaker 2: Lebron's career is some of the most ardent and vocal

687
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:25,360
Speaker 2: Lebron critics are who Kobe fans because Lebron and Kobe

688
00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:28,600
Speaker 2: had a rivalry and the Lebron goes to the Lakers

689
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:33,560
Speaker 2: wins a title, and some of them still are anti Lebron,

690
00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:36,920
Speaker 2: but he has won some of them over. Who are

691
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:41,320
Speaker 2: the most vocal Lebron critics of the last post Kobe

692
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:47,160
Speaker 2: Steph fans goes to the Warriors and helps them win

693
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:49,680
Speaker 2: some of them over. So it's something there. All right,

694
00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:51,960
Speaker 2: let's play another game. We'll do it quick so we

695
00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:54,000
Speaker 2: don't go too late. Go ahead, what's the game.

696
00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:56,200
Speaker 3: All in or fold?

697
00:45:56,280 --> 00:45:57,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's do it.

698
00:45:57,480 --> 00:45:59,600
Speaker 3: Everyone now thinks the Nuggets are the best team in

699
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:03,400
Speaker 3: the NBA and Yokic is the best player crazy. What

700
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:06,640
Speaker 3: sweeping the Lakers will do for you? Yep, all interfold.

701
00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:10,240
Speaker 3: Yokish wins the finals MVP and silences the haters.

702
00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:12,239
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna go all in on this because I

703
00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:14,960
Speaker 2: think the Heat have a real shot in that series.

704
00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:21,040
Speaker 2: I don't. I think the Jokic hater narrative at this

705
00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:26,960
Speaker 2: point is a straw man. It certainly existed in the past,

706
00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:29,719
Speaker 2: and all raised my hand to it. I was one

707
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:35,839
Speaker 2: of the faces of it. It no longer exists, and

708
00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:38,879
Speaker 2: it is not. And this is where I get frustrated.

709
00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:47,640
Speaker 2: People act as if treating Jokic the way we have

710
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:56,560
Speaker 2: treated every potentially all time great ever is unfair. It

711
00:46:56,600 --> 00:47:03,960
Speaker 2: is not so. There have only been a handful of

712
00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:12,839
Speaker 2: guys ever who won multiple MVPs before going on a

713
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:17,479
Speaker 2: deep to the finals or to a championship postseason run.

714
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:22,759
Speaker 2: All of them were criticized, so you might say, well,

715
00:47:22,840 --> 00:47:26,919
Speaker 2: Lebron won, Yet Lebron made the finals at twenty two,

716
00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:32,319
Speaker 2: didn't win his first MVP for two more years. He

717
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:36,160
Speaker 2: already had shown you he could be that guy in

718
00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:42,360
Speaker 2: the playoffs. Durant made the finals before he won his MVP.

719
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:49,640
Speaker 2: Kobe had three championships before he won his MVP. Shack

720
00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:55,799
Speaker 2: was a champion before he won his MVP. Steph won

721
00:47:55,840 --> 00:48:01,200
Speaker 2: his championship the same year he won his first MVP.

722
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:08,360
Speaker 2: So who were the guys who won multiple MVPs before

723
00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:14,040
Speaker 2: even making a finals? Jokic guess okay set him aside

724
00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:19,000
Speaker 2: for a moment. Yannis won two MVPs before ever making

725
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:22,319
Speaker 2: a finals. And you know what, people wouldn't call him

726
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:26,040
Speaker 2: the best player in the world. People said Durant was better.

727
00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:30,120
Speaker 2: People were arguing Anthony Davis was better. Oh, Yannis is

728
00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:33,520
Speaker 2: a great regular season guy, but what's in his bag?

729
00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:36,880
Speaker 2: Doesn't have a jumper, can't hit free throws. And then

730
00:48:37,719 --> 00:48:39,840
Speaker 2: he went to the finals. Even when he got to

731
00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:42,080
Speaker 2: the finals, people were like, ah, they got lucky. Duran's

732
00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:45,120
Speaker 2: foot was on the line. It wasn't until he had

733
00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:47,919
Speaker 2: a fifty piece to win a title that everyone laid

734
00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:52,280
Speaker 2: down their swords. Steve Nash won two MVPs before making

735
00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:55,160
Speaker 2: the finals. People were like, ah, were those good MVPs?

736
00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:57,880
Speaker 2: Are bad MVPs? He then never made a finals, and

737
00:48:57,960 --> 00:49:01,760
Speaker 2: we look back, we're like, probably little our skis Michael

738
00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:07,720
Speaker 2: Bleeping Jordan. Go back and read the Chicago Sun Times

739
00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:12,239
Speaker 2: articles from nineteen eighty nine and nineteen ninety. He won

740
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:17,400
Speaker 2: MVP in eighty eight and they called Jordan great stats,

741
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:20,520
Speaker 2: not a winner. Then he won his second MVP in

742
00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:23,520
Speaker 2: ninety one, and what did he do in ninety one?

743
00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:31,120
Speaker 2: Won the title? This is how we've always done it. Now,

744
00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:36,799
Speaker 2: was I do I look back and say when I

745
00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:41,480
Speaker 2: called yok it's the worst MVP since Dave Cowens when

746
00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:46,280
Speaker 2: he won his first one. As a little harsh, maybe,

747
00:49:46,719 --> 00:49:51,759
Speaker 2: but calling someone the worst MVP is kind of like

748
00:49:52,120 --> 00:49:56,240
Speaker 2: the poorest on the Forbes five hundred list. You're still

749
00:49:56,320 --> 00:50:00,919
Speaker 2: super rich, right and and Ki And by the way,

750
00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:07,600
Speaker 2: prior to this postseason, Nikolajokic in his last twenty playoff games,

751
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:13,120
Speaker 2: was six and fourteen. Prior to this postseason, nikola Jokicic's

752
00:50:13,280 --> 00:50:17,280
Speaker 2: worst series of his postseason career was his one Conference

753
00:50:17,320 --> 00:50:21,520
Speaker 2: finals appearance. Now, if you are criticizing him in the

754
00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:24,719
Speaker 2: midst of this postseason, if you're saying, ah to, don't

755
00:50:24,719 --> 00:50:26,920
Speaker 2: believe in him, if he doesn't win the title, he's

756
00:50:26,960 --> 00:50:31,200
Speaker 2: a fraud, then you're being unfair. But nobody is saying that.

757
00:50:32,719 --> 00:50:39,040
Speaker 2: And it is it is to me irrational when folks

758
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:44,600
Speaker 2: act persecuted because they are simply treated the way we've

759
00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:51,239
Speaker 2: treated everyone else. So that's it. As Jokic won me over,

760
00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:54,359
Speaker 2: of course he has you know how he did it

761
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:59,399
Speaker 2: by following the same steps. Everyone has to show it

762
00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:03,720
Speaker 2: to me on a deep playoff run. That's how the

763
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:07,800
Speaker 2: It's not baseball where Mike Trout, greatest player in the world,

764
00:51:08,120 --> 00:51:11,800
Speaker 2: doesn't make the playoffs. Who cares? That's not how professional

765
00:51:12,120 --> 00:51:18,240
Speaker 2: basketball works. Next, I'm Michael Malone, Nuggets coach. Keeps taking

766
00:51:18,239 --> 00:51:20,560
Speaker 2: these subtle shots at me. Not a fan of it.

767
00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:26,680
Speaker 2: Yok has been unbelievable, but we were what you say.

768
00:51:26,600 --> 00:51:27,319
Speaker 3: I know about this.

769
00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:29,480
Speaker 2: It's just let's just keep going go ahead.

770
00:51:30,560 --> 00:51:33,479
Speaker 3: Reports are that John I mean that Josh Allen wants

771
00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:34,920
Speaker 3: to bring the titles a Buffalo.

772
00:51:35,200 --> 00:51:38,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, no shot what Wow, you're just cursing on the shot.

773
00:51:39,719 --> 00:51:46,160
Speaker 5: Nobody When bon Miller aiming for the mid season comeback

774
00:51:46,520 --> 00:51:50,400
Speaker 5: and deep hop de hop trade rumors still swarming, swirling.

775
00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:55,000
Speaker 3: They definitely have a shot all in Erfold, this is

776
00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:57,640
Speaker 3: the Bill's best shot at a super Bowl yet, oh.

777
00:51:57,600 --> 00:51:59,640
Speaker 2: Fold, No, their best show was two years ago. They

778
00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:02,360
Speaker 2: should have won it two years ago. They're up on

779
00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:06,320
Speaker 2: the Chiefs with thirteen seconds left and they choked it. Sorry,

780
00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:10,200
Speaker 2: that was their best chance. Josh Allen's contract hadn't kicked in.

781
00:52:10,480 --> 00:52:13,280
Speaker 2: I think Stefan Diggs was a bit better. The league

782
00:52:13,480 --> 00:52:16,000
Speaker 2: was not as strong as it is right now. They

783
00:52:16,040 --> 00:52:18,640
Speaker 2: would have gotten the Bengals, who I think that year

784
00:52:18,680 --> 00:52:21,360
Speaker 2: they could have matched up well against, and then the Rams,

785
00:52:21,360 --> 00:52:23,440
Speaker 2: who I think they would have rocked in the Super Bowl.

786
00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:26,560
Speaker 2: I'm sorry Buffalo Brent Hanks, my friend from Poker Go

787
00:52:27,239 --> 00:52:30,439
Speaker 2: and the different the Bills fan that I met at

788
00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:35,719
Speaker 2: Soho House the other night. But no, I think you've

789
00:52:35,719 --> 00:52:38,920
Speaker 2: been jumped in line. I think your chance you took

790
00:52:38,960 --> 00:52:40,640
Speaker 2: a shot at the King and you missed in that

791
00:52:40,680 --> 00:52:43,960
Speaker 2: playoff game against the Chiefs. And now the Bengals are

792
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:46,520
Speaker 2: right there. We'll see what the Ravens look like. The

793
00:52:46,600 --> 00:52:49,560
Speaker 2: Dolphins are coming. Your division got tougher with Aaron Rodgers.

794
00:52:49,760 --> 00:52:51,920
Speaker 2: So no, their best chance was two years ago. It

795
00:52:51,920 --> 00:52:54,200
Speaker 2: doesn't mean they'll never win one. But their best chance

796
00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:57,040
Speaker 2: was two years ago. Next tough one for you here,

797
00:52:57,160 --> 00:52:57,960
Speaker 2: Dan pooh.

798
00:52:57,800 --> 00:53:01,680
Speaker 3: Brock Party, good job. Set to start throwing again next

799
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:05,560
Speaker 3: week after entering his elbow in the NFC Championship game.

800
00:53:07,080 --> 00:53:10,120
Speaker 3: He's not a lot to fully back to be fully

801
00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:12,799
Speaker 3: way back the week one, but the forty nine ers

802
00:53:12,800 --> 00:53:17,040
Speaker 3: think that he's still there guy all interfold proc perty

803
00:53:17,239 --> 00:53:18,880
Speaker 3: will be starting in the playoffs.

804
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:20,960
Speaker 2: You know, I'm actually gonna fold on this, not because

805
00:53:20,960 --> 00:53:24,160
Speaker 2: the Niners, excuse me, aren't going to be in the playoffs,

806
00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:27,120
Speaker 2: but because I don't think he's their guy. I think

807
00:53:27,160 --> 00:53:32,680
Speaker 2: they have to see if Trey Lance is their guy,

808
00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:36,520
Speaker 2: and I think they have a limited ceiling with Purty.

809
00:53:37,320 --> 00:53:41,440
Speaker 2: And I also worry about his body holding up. So

810
00:53:41,520 --> 00:53:43,080
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be I'm gonna be one of the last

811
00:53:43,080 --> 00:53:45,200
Speaker 2: people to think that Trey Lance has a real shot

812
00:53:45,239 --> 00:53:46,839
Speaker 2: to be in the quarterback for the Niners. So I'm

813
00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:47,880
Speaker 2: gonna fold on that all right.

814
00:53:47,960 --> 00:53:52,160
Speaker 3: Last one, the NFL changes the kickoff rule to where

815
00:53:52,560 --> 00:53:56,520
Speaker 3: every fair catch is a touchback. In response, your coach

816
00:53:57,120 --> 00:54:00,200
Speaker 3: Andy Reid said the league has turned into flag football.

817
00:54:00,560 --> 00:54:03,400
Speaker 3: All in or fold kickoffs should be canceled entirely.

818
00:54:04,360 --> 00:54:06,839
Speaker 2: I mean, I think they probably I'm all in on this,

819
00:54:07,080 --> 00:54:10,080
Speaker 2: with the caveat of what does it do to onside kicks?

820
00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:13,759
Speaker 2: They need to make the onside kick That idea that

821
00:54:13,840 --> 00:54:16,120
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's the XFL or USFL had,

822
00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:19,959
Speaker 2: it's just a fourth and like seventeen player a fourth

823
00:54:20,040 --> 00:54:23,040
Speaker 2: and thirteen play and you run it from the thirty

824
00:54:23,040 --> 00:54:27,000
Speaker 2: five yard line and you do it like that. I

825
00:54:27,120 --> 00:54:31,000
Speaker 2: love kick returns, but they've determined they're not safe, and

826
00:54:31,080 --> 00:54:33,439
Speaker 2: so they're just trying to take them out of the game.

827
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:42,080
Speaker 2: And there are certain adjustments. Guys. The football is trying

828
00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:47,920
Speaker 2: to find ways to stay as safe as possible playing

829
00:54:47,960 --> 00:54:51,480
Speaker 2: an inherently dangerous game. And if one of the costs

830
00:54:51,480 --> 00:54:53,360
Speaker 2: of it is the kickoffs gotta go away, then the

831
00:54:53,440 --> 00:54:56,520
Speaker 2: kickoffs gotta go away. I understand some people are up

832
00:54:56,520 --> 00:55:01,600
Speaker 2: in arms about it. It's just the brute. As human

833
00:55:01,680 --> 00:55:07,800
Speaker 2: beings evolve and the athlete evolves to bigger, stronger, faster,

834
00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:13,320
Speaker 2: football becomes more dangerous than ever before because guys this size,

835
00:55:13,400 --> 00:55:16,440
Speaker 2: we're not ever supposed to be this fast and agile

836
00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:20,520
Speaker 2: and fierce, and so they've got to make adjustments. So

837
00:55:20,520 --> 00:55:23,359
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna There are certain things the NFL does

838
00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:25,239
Speaker 2: that I think is outrageous. I think the Thursday night

839
00:55:25,239 --> 00:55:29,320
Speaker 2: football flexing is outrageous and an insult to the paying customer.

840
00:55:29,800 --> 00:55:33,120
Speaker 2: I think the removing kickoffs or trying to eliminate kickoffs

841
00:55:33,520 --> 00:55:36,719
Speaker 2: is just the cost of doing business. Danielle and I

842
00:55:36,840 --> 00:55:40,000
Speaker 2: answer your questions and comments. Next, very quick break, right back,

843
00:55:40,040 --> 00:55:49,919
Speaker 2: What's Right? Welcome back in episode one fifty four What's

844
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:53,240
Speaker 2: Right with Nick Wright. We now will answer some listener

845
00:55:53,360 --> 00:55:55,719
Speaker 2: questions and if you guys have some specific questions for

846
00:55:55,880 --> 00:55:58,600
Speaker 2: Danielle because we don't know when she'll be back on

847
00:55:58,640 --> 00:56:03,400
Speaker 2: the show, because Doora will be back on Tuesday, you

848
00:56:03,440 --> 00:56:08,439
Speaker 2: can include those in the chat. Ryan Fitzgerald's got one says, Hey, Nick,

849
00:56:09,120 --> 00:56:13,600
Speaker 2: just had my first child yesterday. What what's some advice

850
00:56:13,640 --> 00:56:16,719
Speaker 2: for a new father like myself? Do you want to

851
00:56:16,760 --> 00:56:20,239
Speaker 2: give the advice first? You think about it. I'll give

852
00:56:20,280 --> 00:56:27,000
Speaker 2: my piece of advice first. This is now. I was

853
00:56:27,120 --> 00:56:31,240
Speaker 2: very lucky because when Danielle and I had Deanna, Danielle

854
00:56:31,239 --> 00:56:34,239
Speaker 2: obviously had already had two babies before she and I

855
00:56:34,280 --> 00:56:37,680
Speaker 2: got together. We got together when Diora was a toddler.

856
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:40,680
Speaker 2: But I had never been, you know, done the infant stuff.

857
00:56:40,680 --> 00:56:43,320
Speaker 2: But Danielle had and the kids survived and we're fine,

858
00:56:43,400 --> 00:56:45,959
Speaker 2: so I knew she knew what she was doing. This

859
00:56:46,040 --> 00:56:48,840
Speaker 2: is what I tell anybody that's KNOWRMS about having kids.

860
00:56:50,280 --> 00:56:55,760
Speaker 2: Every day people have babies a lot of those people

861
00:56:56,239 --> 00:57:01,120
Speaker 2: are dumber than you, have less resources than you, and

862
00:57:01,160 --> 00:57:07,840
Speaker 2: the kids are fine. It is overwhelming, but then remind yourself,

863
00:57:08,239 --> 00:57:12,400
Speaker 2: literally been going on since the beginning of time. People

864
00:57:12,440 --> 00:57:18,320
Speaker 2: figure it out and there is no instruction manual. And

865
00:57:18,600 --> 00:57:22,320
Speaker 2: my buddy Laslow had great advice when it came to

866
00:57:22,400 --> 00:57:25,960
Speaker 2: potty training, which was never met an adult that just

867
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:29,200
Speaker 2: peased their pants. They all learn it eventually. Don't stretch

868
00:57:29,200 --> 00:57:31,520
Speaker 2: yourself out about it, So those would be my piece

869
00:57:31,520 --> 00:57:33,560
Speaker 2: of advice is like, just take a deep breath and

870
00:57:33,600 --> 00:57:35,640
Speaker 2: not worry. You just rolled your eyes.

871
00:57:36,600 --> 00:57:39,080
Speaker 3: Just make sure as a man, just make sure that

872
00:57:39,160 --> 00:57:43,040
Speaker 3: you help the woman at all times because she's basically

873
00:57:43,080 --> 00:57:45,920
Speaker 3: gonna take care of everything, but yet you have to

874
00:57:45,960 --> 00:57:49,360
Speaker 3: be there, and you know, there's times we need to

875
00:57:49,360 --> 00:57:52,360
Speaker 3: get rest, and there's times that you need to go

876
00:57:52,440 --> 00:57:55,000
Speaker 3: get the bottle or the or.

877
00:57:54,880 --> 00:57:58,400
Speaker 2: The How helpful was I with Deanna at the beginning?

878
00:57:58,400 --> 00:57:58,920
Speaker 3: You sucked?

879
00:58:00,160 --> 00:58:03,520
Speaker 2: Well, I was in mornings. I remember, you know, you.

880
00:58:03,560 --> 00:58:05,840
Speaker 3: Were having the morning show when you got me pregnant.

881
00:58:06,480 --> 00:58:08,760
Speaker 3: So it was just like, Okay, I have to figure

882
00:58:08,760 --> 00:58:10,320
Speaker 3: out a way where I can help her and do

883
00:58:10,400 --> 00:58:12,960
Speaker 3: my job. And Nick sucked at the beginning It's okay

884
00:58:13,080 --> 00:58:16,880
Speaker 3: because it was the first time I've ever had any

885
00:58:16,960 --> 00:58:20,240
Speaker 3: help when I had a child, So it was okay

886
00:58:20,320 --> 00:58:24,200
Speaker 3: with me. Set the times where I was so exhausted

887
00:58:24,240 --> 00:58:25,920
Speaker 3: and I just had to let you have it.

888
00:58:26,640 --> 00:58:30,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, don't do the pretend not to hear the

889
00:58:30,800 --> 00:58:33,880
Speaker 2: baby crying. Yeah, so the other person has to do it.

890
00:58:33,880 --> 00:58:36,720
Speaker 3: It was rude. I mean he does that with his

891
00:58:36,800 --> 00:58:38,480
Speaker 3: alarm clock this morning in the morning.

892
00:58:38,680 --> 00:58:41,480
Speaker 2: No, I'm not pretending. I'm actually not hearing it, but

893
00:58:41,640 --> 00:58:43,960
Speaker 2: the baby I would because I had to get up

894
00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:46,320
Speaker 2: at like four point thirty every morning to do radio

895
00:58:46,360 --> 00:58:50,320
Speaker 2: in Houston, and it would be like three forty and

896
00:58:50,960 --> 00:58:52,600
Speaker 2: we'd hear the baby crying, and.

897
00:58:52,560 --> 00:58:54,960
Speaker 3: You'll literally look at your phone and see the times like.

898
00:58:55,000 --> 00:58:58,919
Speaker 2: Uh, I would just try to pretend in here. Uh.

899
00:58:59,120 --> 00:59:01,800
Speaker 2: Jackson Higgin says, can we get proof of life? For

900
00:59:01,960 --> 00:59:05,920
Speaker 2: producer Dan? Oh, you missed it yesterday or Tuesday? One

901
00:59:05,920 --> 00:59:09,160
Speaker 2: of our producers on this show was texting to the

902
00:59:09,200 --> 00:59:12,680
Speaker 2: group chat. He's a big Nuggets fan, trolling me after

903
00:59:12,840 --> 00:59:18,280
Speaker 2: each Lakers win, and I explained, you think it's awesome.

904
00:59:18,320 --> 00:59:19,680
Speaker 2: How do you think I reacted to it?

905
00:59:20,080 --> 00:59:22,280
Speaker 3: You're probably upset, especially at that time.

906
00:59:22,360 --> 00:59:29,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, like big man. Yeah yeah, I was big

907
00:59:29,320 --> 00:59:36,560
Speaker 2: man all right. So, uh Caleb asks, oh there is

908
00:59:36,600 --> 00:59:40,120
Speaker 2: Oh he's doing it again this? Oh sorry, pardon me.

909
00:59:41,560 --> 00:59:45,280
Speaker 3: The I put something on my story too when Lebron

910
00:59:45,320 --> 00:59:47,240
Speaker 3: had to grab the broom and he says, thank you,

911
00:59:47,360 --> 00:59:49,400
Speaker 3: I put it on my story. I couldn't help it, so.

912
00:59:49,440 --> 00:59:53,960
Speaker 2: Petty, Uh, Caleb says, would you say Jason Tatum and

913
00:59:54,040 --> 00:59:57,760
Speaker 2: Josh Allen's a fair player comparison? Yeah, that's about right.

914
01:00:00,320 --> 01:00:03,200
Speaker 2: I think I think Alan has more wow moments and

915
01:00:03,240 --> 01:00:07,200
Speaker 2: Tatum has fewer what the hell were you thinking? Moments?

916
01:00:07,360 --> 01:00:09,080
Speaker 2: But I think as far as in the hierarchy, it's

917
01:00:09,080 --> 01:00:15,840
Speaker 2: about right. The Suavemente asks, Danielle, you have a great

918
01:00:15,880 --> 01:00:17,680
Speaker 2: sense of style. I want to know if Nick was

919
01:00:17,720 --> 01:00:19,960
Speaker 2: always dripped out or did you teach him?

920
01:00:20,440 --> 01:00:23,040
Speaker 3: I taught him everything he knows when it comes to fashion,

921
01:00:23,880 --> 01:00:25,160
Speaker 3: and he barely knows anything.

922
01:00:25,200 --> 01:00:29,120
Speaker 2: Still, well, what how did I used to dress? Who?

923
01:00:29,640 --> 01:00:32,120
Speaker 3: Nick used to wear? The Loora sweatsuits?

924
01:00:32,320 --> 01:00:33,000
Speaker 2: I still do.

925
01:00:33,600 --> 01:00:36,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, but those were like two sizes too big for

926
01:00:36,560 --> 01:00:41,480
Speaker 3: you and you were a smaller person then, so and

927
01:00:41,960 --> 01:00:44,000
Speaker 3: you guys know that he had the lower fade, but

928
01:00:44,080 --> 01:00:46,480
Speaker 3: yet didn't stay on time with his haircuts. That was

929
01:00:46,520 --> 01:00:48,080
Speaker 3: the reason why I wanted him to grow his hair out,

930
01:00:48,120 --> 01:00:50,520
Speaker 3: because it's just like, if you're not gonna keep your

931
01:00:50,680 --> 01:00:53,120
Speaker 3: your hair faded, then you might as well just let

932
01:00:53,160 --> 01:00:57,000
Speaker 3: it grow out. And uh, what else did you used

933
01:00:57,000 --> 01:00:58,600
Speaker 3: to wear that? I didn't like.

934
01:00:59,160 --> 01:01:05,720
Speaker 2: All of it? I mean she got within two years

935
01:01:05,720 --> 01:01:09,080
Speaker 2: of us being together. Yes, I didn't have a single

936
01:01:09,120 --> 01:01:12,720
Speaker 2: piece of clothing that I had when we got together.

937
01:01:12,960 --> 01:01:14,480
Speaker 3: No, And I don't think you will be where you're

938
01:01:14,520 --> 01:01:15,960
Speaker 3: at if you didn't change your wardrobe.

939
01:01:16,360 --> 01:01:18,160
Speaker 2: You think professionally it's helped me.

940
01:01:18,240 --> 01:01:19,680
Speaker 3: I think it helps you a lot. Yeah.

941
01:01:20,440 --> 01:01:24,920
Speaker 2: Uh, speaking of my wardrobe, cutlass asks who picked your

942
01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:26,320
Speaker 2: suits out? For? First things?

943
01:01:26,360 --> 01:01:28,200
Speaker 3: First, I do every day.

944
01:01:28,880 --> 01:01:31,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, she works for Fox. She's the stylist.

945
01:01:31,600 --> 01:01:34,919
Speaker 3: She's I've been the stylist since since the show started. Yep,

946
01:01:35,040 --> 01:01:36,080
Speaker 3: I'm not going anywhere.

947
01:01:36,240 --> 01:01:38,600
Speaker 2: Yeah. No, So she does it. And so yes, what

948
01:01:38,640 --> 01:01:40,400
Speaker 2: do you think of him? But she loves Yeah, I

949
01:01:40,440 --> 01:01:40,760
Speaker 2: love them.

950
01:01:40,920 --> 01:01:44,680
Speaker 3: Why I want him to follow up with it like him?

951
01:01:44,760 --> 01:01:47,960
Speaker 2: No? No, no, I'm sure he likes him. Uh. Also, so

952
01:01:48,400 --> 01:01:51,920
Speaker 2: question for me, how about a trade for Anthony Davis

953
01:01:51,920 --> 01:01:56,120
Speaker 2: for Damian Lillard and signed Draymond for the defense. I

954
01:01:56,240 --> 01:01:59,960
Speaker 2: would not trade Anthony Davis for Damian Lillard. Why wouldn't

955
01:02:00,080 --> 01:02:02,880
Speaker 2: I I like him too, but Anthony. I think Anthony

956
01:02:03,000 --> 01:02:07,880
Speaker 2: Davis is because of his age and his size. I

957
01:02:07,960 --> 01:02:11,360
Speaker 2: think he's more valuable than Dame. Gotcha, that's not That's

958
01:02:11,400 --> 01:02:16,479
Speaker 2: not a trade that I would make. Uh Jake Jack

959
01:02:16,520 --> 01:02:19,360
Speaker 2: Sullivan says, when a team eventually comes back down from

960
01:02:19,400 --> 01:02:20,720
Speaker 2: three to oh, do you think it'd be more about

961
01:02:20,760 --> 01:02:23,000
Speaker 2: the team that wins with the team that loses. It's

962
01:02:23,000 --> 01:02:25,400
Speaker 2: a great question. I think that'll be more an indictment

963
01:02:25,440 --> 01:02:27,520
Speaker 2: on the team. I think it will be remembered more

964
01:02:27,520 --> 01:02:29,720
Speaker 2: about the team that blew it than the team that won.

965
01:02:30,640 --> 01:02:32,640
Speaker 2: Because no team in basketball has ever been down three

966
01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:34,960
Speaker 2: to zero in a series and come all the way back.

967
01:02:35,040 --> 01:02:37,560
Speaker 2: It's happened once in baseball, a handful of times in hockey.

968
01:02:38,200 --> 01:02:42,800
Speaker 2: UH Jose Andres Thule says, which team that did not

969
01:02:42,920 --> 01:02:45,880
Speaker 2: make it to the finals can feel the most confident

970
01:02:45,920 --> 01:02:52,400
Speaker 2: about their future? That's interesting. I ain't the King should

971
01:02:52,400 --> 01:02:55,080
Speaker 2: feel good, but they are a couple steps away from

972
01:02:55,080 --> 01:02:55,880
Speaker 2: the champion.

973
01:02:55,920 --> 01:02:58,360
Speaker 3: I'm really proud of them. Yeah, I'm really proud of

974
01:02:58,360 --> 01:02:58,640
Speaker 3: the King.

975
01:02:59,680 --> 01:03:03,080
Speaker 2: I they should feel good. I think the Bucks shouldn't

976
01:03:03,160 --> 01:03:06,400
Speaker 2: panic for now as long as the new owner is

977
01:03:06,440 --> 01:03:10,320
Speaker 2: not gonna be cheap. And I think the Lakers should

978
01:03:10,360 --> 01:03:12,960
Speaker 2: feel good about the fact that Lebron still has this

979
01:03:13,120 --> 01:03:16,640
Speaker 2: level of playing him. Anthony Davis could stay healthy as

980
01:03:16,720 --> 01:03:20,800
Speaker 2: long as he did, and the emergence of Austin Reeves

981
01:03:21,720 --> 01:03:26,080
Speaker 2: is one of the great stories of the season. I

982
01:03:26,080 --> 01:03:29,720
Speaker 2: think the teams that should be pessimistic or Philly Golden

983
01:03:29,800 --> 01:03:33,360
Speaker 2: State as is. I think those teams have a hard

984
01:03:33,400 --> 01:03:36,120
Speaker 2: time are gonna have a hard time getting to the

985
01:03:36,160 --> 01:03:40,920
Speaker 2: next getting to the next step, and they might have

986
01:03:40,960 --> 01:03:43,600
Speaker 2: to take a step back. All right, Dampo, Yeah, you

987
01:03:43,640 --> 01:03:47,320
Speaker 2: did a great job. I appreciate you. I love you.

988
01:03:49,240 --> 01:03:53,160
