0:00:45.760 --> 0:00:49.440
<v Speaker 2>We appreciate those of you watching us live on YouTube.

0:00:49.440 --> 0:00:52.599
<v Speaker 2>We have a special surprise for you all in just

0:00:52.640 --> 0:00:56.040
<v Speaker 2>a moment. Also, speaking of the YouTube audience, we're gonna

0:00:56.080 --> 0:01:01.280
<v Speaker 2>start probably next week a little pre show show four

0:01:01.320 --> 0:01:04.959
<v Speaker 2>our YouTube viewers that will not be a part of

0:01:05.200 --> 0:01:10.240
<v Speaker 2>the actual audio podcast. That is. One reason for that

0:01:10.360 --> 0:01:13.160
<v Speaker 2>is to thank you guys for watching us live on YouTube.

0:01:13.319 --> 0:01:16.560
<v Speaker 2>Another reason is so we don't have the calamity that

0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:20.080
<v Speaker 2>happened last week, which was I was so excited and

0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:23.040
<v Speaker 2>so loud that I blew out our audio for a

0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:25.759
<v Speaker 2>podcast listeners, and we had to start the whole show over,

0:01:26.160 --> 0:01:29.160
<v Speaker 2>so a little troubleshooting and a little bonus. But speaking

0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:33.080
<v Speaker 2>of bonuses, this show is fet You guys know how

0:01:33.080 --> 0:01:37.360
<v Speaker 2>this show works. It is me alongside a member of

0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:41.000
<v Speaker 2>my family. Now the official co host of the show

0:01:41.880 --> 0:01:45.399
<v Speaker 2>is my soon to be twenty five year old son Demanse.

0:01:46.400 --> 0:01:50.120
<v Speaker 2>He however, is taking some time off living in Los

0:01:50.160 --> 0:01:52.919
<v Speaker 2>Angeles getting his life set up. He will be back

0:01:53.600 --> 0:02:00.800
<v Speaker 2>come football season. During his absence, his sister, my now

0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:05.040
<v Speaker 2>eighteen year old daughter, Diora, has been filling in for

0:02:05.120 --> 0:02:09.800
<v Speaker 2>him as part of a senior project. However, she has

0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:13.440
<v Speaker 2>decided today to go to six Flags, so they're calling

0:02:13.440 --> 0:02:17.920
<v Speaker 2>it a senior class trip. But again, she goes to

0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:21.799
<v Speaker 2>quite a different school than I think most of our

0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:25.359
<v Speaker 2>audience went to. They did post prom in the Hamptons.

0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:29.400
<v Speaker 2>They did tried to do spring break at Paradise Island,

0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:32.600
<v Speaker 2>and I was a mean, stodgy parent because I wouldn't

0:02:32.680 --> 0:02:35.320
<v Speaker 2>let her go as a seventeen year old on a

0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:39.200
<v Speaker 2>spring break trip to the Bahamas or Cayman Islands, wherever

0:02:39.200 --> 0:02:42.520
<v Speaker 2>the hell it is. And now they're doing a class

0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:46.000
<v Speaker 2>trip to six Flags, so who's gonna fill in for

0:02:47.120 --> 0:02:54.040
<v Speaker 2>none other than my legendary wife, Danielle, the owner of

0:02:54.120 --> 0:02:57.440
<v Speaker 2>the store that we do this from, Trintage here in Harlem,

0:02:57.760 --> 0:03:02.520
<v Speaker 2>and a woman who's for some reason gets nervous every

0:03:02.639 --> 0:03:05.799
<v Speaker 2>time she does the show with me. Damp Oo, thank

0:03:05.840 --> 0:03:09.160
<v Speaker 2>you so much. Are you wearing all your jewels at

0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:11.400
<v Speaker 2>the moment I see the watch, I'm not sure about

0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:12.280
<v Speaker 2>what's on the right hand?

0:03:12.480 --> 0:03:14.000
<v Speaker 3>Ready for Okay? After this?

0:03:14.560 --> 0:03:17.600
<v Speaker 2>Okay? Ready? So are you feeling good about today's show?

0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:18.520
<v Speaker 3>I'm feeling great.

0:03:18.600 --> 0:03:19.400
<v Speaker 2>You've reviewed it?

0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:20.120
<v Speaker 3>I did.

0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:23.760
<v Speaker 2>You're fresh off a trip to Los Angeles, fresh off

0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:25.160
<v Speaker 2>the plane. Saw our son.

0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:27.239
<v Speaker 3>He's doing well, he's doing good.

0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:29.920
<v Speaker 2>Checked out the apartment, yep, did all that. Did some

0:03:30.040 --> 0:03:32.680
<v Speaker 2>shopping for the store. So if you stop by Trinted

0:03:32.760 --> 0:03:35.840
<v Speaker 2>in the next few weeks, there's some fresh new items

0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:39.720
<v Speaker 2>from the West Coast. But we must now get to work.

0:03:39.840 --> 0:03:42.960
<v Speaker 2>And again, you can include your questions and comments for

0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:46.640
<v Speaker 2>myself or Danielle. We will get to them at the

0:03:46.920 --> 0:03:49.120
<v Speaker 2>end of the show in the C block, as we

0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:52.960
<v Speaker 2>always do. But here's what missed the cut for episode

0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:57.680
<v Speaker 2>one fifty four. Not on the show. Adrian Peterson evidently

0:03:57.920 --> 0:04:02.560
<v Speaker 2>not retired. I didn't know that Mike Trout passes Joe

0:04:02.560 --> 0:04:06.760
<v Speaker 2>DiMaggio in home runs, Marilyn Monroe not available for comment,

0:04:06.840 --> 0:04:11.440
<v Speaker 2>and the Patriots caught cheating once again. You know how

0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:15.280
<v Speaker 2>I know. Matt Ford, our producer, must be out and

0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:17.800
<v Speaker 2>Gabe sitting in for him because he found a way

0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:21.160
<v Speaker 2>to get a Patriots shot in to the preamble of

0:04:21.200 --> 0:04:26.400
<v Speaker 2>the show, the Patriots losing two OTAs because of a

0:04:26.560 --> 0:04:29.640
<v Speaker 2>legend malfeasance. We don't know what it was, but we

0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:32.480
<v Speaker 2>know they had two OTAs taken away. There is also

0:04:32.560 --> 0:04:38.200
<v Speaker 2>some breaking news courtesy of sham Sharania moments ago. Gabe Vincent,

0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:43.880
<v Speaker 2>the undrafted but playing great guard for the Miami Heat,

0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:48.880
<v Speaker 2>out tonight with a sprained ankle. That leads us nicely

0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:53.640
<v Speaker 2>into our first topic, Dampoo, take a deep breath, believe

0:04:53.680 --> 0:04:55.760
<v Speaker 2>in yourself, and go right ahead.

0:04:56.720 --> 0:04:59.560
<v Speaker 3>Boston did not get swept, but you still believe in

0:04:59.600 --> 0:05:03.640
<v Speaker 3>the Heat even if Vegas doesn't yep. Denver, on the

0:05:03.680 --> 0:05:06.599
<v Speaker 3>other hand, is going to have to wait ten days

0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:10.039
<v Speaker 3>between games because Lebron couldn't avoid another sweep.

0:05:10.200 --> 0:05:13.880
<v Speaker 2>Okay, the guys swept in the finals previously.

0:05:13.960 --> 0:05:17.480
<v Speaker 3>It is actually good for the Heat. That they lost

0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:19.880
<v Speaker 3>so they can get so they don't get rusty before

0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:23.240
<v Speaker 3>the finals. And are they given the Celtics any chance

0:05:23.960 --> 0:05:24.640
<v Speaker 3>at the comeback?

0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:27.920
<v Speaker 2>All right, so are you get Yeah, I'm not the

0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:35.320
<v Speaker 2>There is shockingly high amounts of optimism surrounding the Celtics'

0:05:35.320 --> 0:05:39.200
<v Speaker 2>ability to come back from three to nothing. Now, I

0:05:39.320 --> 0:05:41.919
<v Speaker 2>said when the Lakers were down three to zero that

0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:45.160
<v Speaker 2>some team at some point is going to do it.

0:05:45.760 --> 0:05:50.719
<v Speaker 2>This Boston Celtics team is not that team. So no,

0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:53.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm not giving them a chance at the comeback. The

0:05:53.400 --> 0:06:00.560
<v Speaker 2>idea that Eric Spolstra and Jimmy Butler are going, pardon me,

0:06:00.640 --> 0:06:05.680
<v Speaker 2>are going to lose four straight games up three to

0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:10.640
<v Speaker 2>zero to Joe Mizzoula in company, it's just not realistic.

0:06:11.200 --> 0:06:15.920
<v Speaker 2>And the line for this game is Boston minus nine.

0:06:16.320 --> 0:06:20.240
<v Speaker 2>Boston was favored by eight in Game one, by nine

0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:23.640
<v Speaker 2>and a half in Game two, by four on the road.

0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:26.560
<v Speaker 2>In Game three. The only game they've been an underdog

0:06:26.640 --> 0:06:29.280
<v Speaker 2>all series was Game four point and a half underdog,

0:06:29.640 --> 0:06:33.039
<v Speaker 2>and they won it. And now it's right back to Vegas,

0:06:33.160 --> 0:06:38.520
<v Speaker 2>loving the Celtics and disrespecting the Heat the series. The

0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:42.000
<v Speaker 2>Heat are only minus two sixty. You and I are

0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:47.440
<v Speaker 2>in the market for a new car. I considered I've

0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:49.479
<v Speaker 2>not pulled the trigger, but I have a few hours

0:06:49.560 --> 0:06:54.320
<v Speaker 2>left to do it in putting a not a car

0:06:54.480 --> 0:06:58.839
<v Speaker 2>sized wager, but a car down payment sized wager on

0:06:59.000 --> 0:07:03.400
<v Speaker 2>the Heat for the series because minus two sixty up

0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:06.880
<v Speaker 2>three to one when they and this is where people

0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:13.920
<v Speaker 2>can't divorce themselves from talent on paper and winning basketball

0:07:14.360 --> 0:07:19.120
<v Speaker 2>and playoff winning basketball. I've heard from my co hosts

0:07:19.160 --> 0:07:24.200
<v Speaker 2>on TV, across other television shows, across other podcasts well,

0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:27.040
<v Speaker 2>the Celtics the reason they have a chance is they

0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:33.040
<v Speaker 2>have so much more talent. Who cares these playoffs? The

0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:37.160
<v Speaker 2>Miami Heat, not just this series, this entire postseason, the

0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:43.920
<v Speaker 2>Miami Heat have been dominant. Only Denver has matched their

0:07:44.040 --> 0:07:49.200
<v Speaker 2>level of domination round by round. Round one, they played

0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:52.600
<v Speaker 2>Milwaukee one game one, got up three to one in

0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:56.880
<v Speaker 2>the series. Round two, they played the Knicks, one game one,

0:07:57.240 --> 0:07:59.760
<v Speaker 2>got up three to one in the series. Round three,

0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:03.400
<v Speaker 2>they played the Celtics, one game one, got up three

0:08:03.440 --> 0:08:05.880
<v Speaker 2>to one in the series. Boston, on the other hand,

0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:12.200
<v Speaker 2>Round one loses a game five at home to Atlanta

0:08:12.880 --> 0:08:17.400
<v Speaker 2>and needs a sixth game. The Celtics in Round two

0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:22.680
<v Speaker 2>lose a Game five at home to Philly, and Bats

0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:26.800
<v Speaker 2>are up against the wall and need a brilliant final

0:08:26.920 --> 0:08:30.320
<v Speaker 2>few minutes from Tatum in Game six after an awful

0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:32.960
<v Speaker 2>start to the game, and then a fifty piece in

0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:37.920
<v Speaker 2>Game seven to escape them. And in round three were

0:08:38.200 --> 0:08:43.719
<v Speaker 2>dead for the first fourteen quarters of this series, and

0:08:43.840 --> 0:08:49.480
<v Speaker 2>then had a good final half of Game four, and

0:08:49.600 --> 0:08:53.080
<v Speaker 2>all of a sudden, people are, huh, don't let you

0:08:53.320 --> 0:08:56.600
<v Speaker 2>Boston wins tonight. All the pressures on my The idea

0:08:56.640 --> 0:09:02.240
<v Speaker 2>that Boston that has not been consistent all postseason is

0:09:02.280 --> 0:09:07.760
<v Speaker 2>gonna string together four straight excellent games is just not realistic.

0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:10.280
<v Speaker 2>Now to your other question, is it good for the

0:09:10.280 --> 0:09:12.199
<v Speaker 2>heat that they lost so they don't get rusted for

0:09:12.240 --> 0:09:17.280
<v Speaker 2>the finals? I I don't think it's good that they lost,

0:09:18.160 --> 0:09:24.000
<v Speaker 2>But had they won Game four, they would have headed

0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:26.920
<v Speaker 2>into the finals when the Finals started on June first,

0:09:27.720 --> 0:09:31.880
<v Speaker 2>not having lost a game in three weeks prior to

0:09:31.920 --> 0:09:35.280
<v Speaker 2>Game four. Their most recent loss was May tenth. The

0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:39.520
<v Speaker 2>final start June first. So do I think that there

0:09:39.559 --> 0:09:42.839
<v Speaker 2>are some positives that can come from a Miami team

0:09:42.960 --> 0:09:47.000
<v Speaker 2>recognizing they need to refocus and that if we are

0:09:47.040 --> 0:09:52.840
<v Speaker 2>not the hungriest grittiest, first to loose balls, locked in

0:09:52.960 --> 0:09:58.600
<v Speaker 2>defensively team that anybody can beat us. Yeah, I do

0:09:58.640 --> 0:10:02.880
<v Speaker 2>think there is a positive now. The negative is, of course,

0:10:03.000 --> 0:10:07.080
<v Speaker 2>the extra games and the extra risk of injury. I

0:10:07.200 --> 0:10:11.280
<v Speaker 2>don't think Gabe Vincent has any real risk of missing

0:10:11.400 --> 0:10:16.320
<v Speaker 2>time for the finals with the ankle sprain, but the

0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:19.719
<v Speaker 2>more game if Jimmy gets banged up, if any if

0:10:19.760 --> 0:10:22.920
<v Speaker 2>Bam gets banged up, then they go into the finals

0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:27.000
<v Speaker 2>essentially drawing dead. And so there is a level of risk.

0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:31.760
<v Speaker 2>But it should be noted Boston has been worse at

0:10:31.760 --> 0:10:35.720
<v Speaker 2>home than on the road the last two postseasons. They're

0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:40.640
<v Speaker 2>below five hundred at home this postseason. The idea that

0:10:40.720 --> 0:10:45.080
<v Speaker 2>them coming home is some panacea for him is just

0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:50.080
<v Speaker 2>not realistic to who they've been. So I picked Miami

0:10:50.120 --> 0:10:53.120
<v Speaker 2>before this series, before the playoffs, when it looked like

0:10:53.160 --> 0:10:55.520
<v Speaker 2>we were getting Celtics Heat, I said, I thought the

0:10:55.520 --> 0:10:58.360
<v Speaker 2>Heat were a bad matchup for him. I don't care

0:10:58.600 --> 0:11:02.040
<v Speaker 2>about the college pro file of the Miami Heat players.

0:11:02.360 --> 0:11:04.720
<v Speaker 2>They have the best coach in basketball, they have one

0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:07.280
<v Speaker 2>of the best playoff performers in basketball, and Jimmy Butler.

0:11:07.520 --> 0:11:10.600
<v Speaker 2>They have a wildly underrated number two in BAM and

0:11:10.640 --> 0:11:13.640
<v Speaker 2>they have a culture that works. So I like the

0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:15.880
<v Speaker 2>heat in the series. I even like the heat tonight.

0:11:15.960 --> 0:11:20.040
<v Speaker 3>All right, next Dampo, Anthony Davis has taken major heat

0:11:20.080 --> 0:11:23.480
<v Speaker 3>after his up and down postseason. The lebron picked the

0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:26.160
<v Speaker 3>wrong running mate to be his co star when it

0:11:26.200 --> 0:11:27.040
<v Speaker 3>comes to LA.

0:11:27.400 --> 0:11:33.400
<v Speaker 2>Well, so to me, this is where we get a

0:11:33.480 --> 0:11:39.720
<v Speaker 2>little unfair. So Anthony Davis offensively. So let me describe

0:11:39.760 --> 0:11:47.640
<v Speaker 2>a player to you. Okay, this player is unquestionably great defensively.

0:11:49.040 --> 0:11:53.840
<v Speaker 2>He is a seven footer but doesn't or seven footer

0:11:54.040 --> 0:11:59.000
<v Speaker 2>ish but is not listed as such. It takes more

0:11:59.120 --> 0:12:03.720
<v Speaker 2>jump shots than guy a guy his size typically would,

0:12:04.720 --> 0:12:10.040
<v Speaker 2>doesn't like to really bang down low, and is you

0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:14.800
<v Speaker 2>can rely on him for twenty points a night, but

0:12:15.080 --> 0:12:20.480
<v Speaker 2>thirty point games are a bonus. Another thing about this

0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:29.439
<v Speaker 2>player at his first stop had essentially no playoff success whatsoever,

0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:34.320
<v Speaker 2>with one year being an exception, and needed to go

0:12:34.640 --> 0:12:39.320
<v Speaker 2>to a major market with major history with another Hall

0:12:39.360 --> 0:12:45.319
<v Speaker 2>of Famer in order to break through. I just described

0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:50.680
<v Speaker 2>Anthony Davis. I also just described Kevin Garnett, who is

0:12:50.800 --> 0:12:54.559
<v Speaker 2>universally considered one of the thirty five greatest players ever.

0:12:55.200 --> 0:12:59.040
<v Speaker 2>Nobody talks trash on his career. Nobody kills him for

0:12:59.080 --> 0:13:04.439
<v Speaker 2>the fact that his entire time in Minnesota they were

0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:07.640
<v Speaker 2>they didn't get passed round one except for one year,

0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:11.800
<v Speaker 2>and that he couldn't get over the top until he

0:13:11.840 --> 0:13:14.720
<v Speaker 2>got with Ray Allen and Paul Pierce. That is also

0:13:14.840 --> 0:13:20.120
<v Speaker 2>true for Anthony Davis and great now Kevin Garnett had

0:13:20.160 --> 0:13:23.440
<v Speaker 2>a better level of intensity and his body held up

0:13:23.480 --> 0:13:26.719
<v Speaker 2>more and we might say was not as naturally physically

0:13:26.800 --> 0:13:31.120
<v Speaker 2>gifted as a d But that is guys whose biggest

0:13:31.120 --> 0:13:36.240
<v Speaker 2>strength is their the defensive end. We consider their ups

0:13:36.240 --> 0:13:46.880
<v Speaker 2>and downs offensively at times without considering the consistent dominance defensively. Furthermore,

0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:52.240
<v Speaker 2>Lebron and ad won a title and just made the

0:13:52.280 --> 0:13:56.439
<v Speaker 2>conference finals as the seventh seed. So is he the

0:13:56.520 --> 0:14:04.640
<v Speaker 2>perfect fit? Do you wish Anthony Davis? Instead of being satisfied,

0:14:04.720 --> 0:14:08.079
<v Speaker 2>it would seem being one of the ten best players

0:14:08.080 --> 0:14:12.400
<v Speaker 2>in basketball, took the steps to be one of the

0:14:12.600 --> 0:14:18.360
<v Speaker 2>three best players in basketball. Sure, but asking a lot man,

0:14:19.200 --> 0:14:22.840
<v Speaker 2>everybody can't be Yannis or at this point you gotta

0:14:22.880 --> 0:14:29.880
<v Speaker 2>say Jokic or Steph or Durant. The guys who go

0:14:31.440 --> 0:14:37.040
<v Speaker 2>years on end and their bad playoff performances are one

0:14:37.080 --> 0:14:39.880
<v Speaker 2>in every twelve games, one in every nine games, one

0:14:39.920 --> 0:14:44.640
<v Speaker 2>in every fourteen games. Those are the greatest players in

0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:50.440
<v Speaker 2>the history of the sport. Even Durant had him more

0:14:50.440 --> 0:14:54.760
<v Speaker 2>often than you would like. Yannis doesn't have him anymore.

0:14:55.680 --> 0:14:59.240
<v Speaker 2>Jokic is starting to build a resume of not having them.

0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:05.240
<v Speaker 2>Lebron you could find a six year stretch where he

0:15:05.280 --> 0:15:11.040
<v Speaker 2>had maybe five actually bad playoff games. Steph has won

0:15:11.120 --> 0:15:16.040
<v Speaker 2>every month in the playoffs. But those are some of

0:15:16.080 --> 0:15:21.000
<v Speaker 2>the greatest players ever. Anthony Davis isn't that that's not

0:15:21.040 --> 0:15:23.400
<v Speaker 2>an indictment on him. It's just like it's not an

0:15:23.440 --> 0:15:27.240
<v Speaker 2>indictment on Tatum that Tatum's up and down a bit now.

0:15:27.280 --> 0:15:31.240
<v Speaker 2>Tatum's offensive peaks are far higher than Anthony Davis's, but

0:15:33.240 --> 0:15:36.800
<v Speaker 2>Anthony Davis's defensive best in the world when he's locked in.

0:15:37.040 --> 0:15:39.280
<v Speaker 3>So do you think that ad is still the player

0:15:39.280 --> 0:15:40.800
<v Speaker 3>the Lakers should build a future around.

0:15:41.160 --> 0:15:50.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, I don't think Anthony Davis is going to be

0:15:51.440 --> 0:15:55.560
<v Speaker 2>the best guy on a champion. I think it's either

0:15:55.640 --> 0:15:58.360
<v Speaker 2>going to have to be. If he is, it's gonna

0:15:58.360 --> 0:16:00.960
<v Speaker 2>have to be the Garnet path where he has two

0:16:01.600 --> 0:16:05.520
<v Speaker 2>not one other two other great players. He's the best guy,

0:16:06.080 --> 0:16:08.480
<v Speaker 2>but it's close, and the other guys can fill in

0:16:08.480 --> 0:16:11.640
<v Speaker 2>the blanks. I but there are not a lot of

0:16:12.000 --> 0:16:15.000
<v Speaker 2>You look around and say who would you rather have

0:16:15.160 --> 0:16:20.680
<v Speaker 2>than Anthony Davis? You can't say embiid So in my opinion,

0:16:20.680 --> 0:16:22.760
<v Speaker 2>you can't there that. You call that a push. So

0:16:22.800 --> 0:16:26.680
<v Speaker 2>would you rather have Jokic? Okay? Sure? Not available? Giannis

0:16:27.120 --> 0:16:31.240
<v Speaker 2>not available? Steph not available? In getting older? So this

0:16:31.400 --> 0:16:36.040
<v Speaker 2>idea of trade Anthony Davis, I don't buy now. Kevin

0:16:36.040 --> 0:16:40.840
<v Speaker 2>O'Connor and we talked about on TV discussed the four

0:16:40.960 --> 0:16:44.480
<v Speaker 2>possible outcomes for Lebron and one of them was him

0:16:44.760 --> 0:16:47.840
<v Speaker 2>requesting a trade. We will get to that later in

0:16:47.920 --> 0:16:52.560
<v Speaker 2>the show because what koc laid out is intriguing. We'll

0:16:52.560 --> 0:16:54.840
<v Speaker 2>get to that later in the show, but first let's

0:16:54.840 --> 0:16:57.280
<v Speaker 2>get to some football. Go ahead, Danielle.

0:16:57.480 --> 0:17:00.880
<v Speaker 3>It is rumored this off season that mahone may rework

0:17:00.920 --> 0:17:04.000
<v Speaker 3>his contract. He's no longer even one of the five

0:17:04.080 --> 0:17:09.919
<v Speaker 3>highest paid quarterbacks in football. Mahomes ultimate goal is to

0:17:09.960 --> 0:17:14.080
<v Speaker 3>pass Brady eventually, and now he's saying he's prioritizing his

0:17:14.200 --> 0:17:17.879
<v Speaker 3>legacy over his paycheck. Should he take discounts to catch

0:17:17.880 --> 0:17:18.520
<v Speaker 3>Tom Brady.

0:17:18.880 --> 0:17:21.000
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so first of all, I gotta say.

0:17:20.880 --> 0:17:21.240
<v Speaker 3>What I do.

0:17:21.400 --> 0:17:25.359
<v Speaker 2>You are just adorable. You didn't say anything, you just

0:17:25.400 --> 0:17:28.280
<v Speaker 2>I can feel your heart beating when you're reading these.

0:17:28.320 --> 0:17:31.920
<v Speaker 3>I don't like it because I don't know what I'm reading.

0:17:33.040 --> 0:17:35.080
<v Speaker 3>That's the thing, like, you know, when you have to

0:17:35.080 --> 0:17:37.320
<v Speaker 3>be confident and you like know what you're what you're

0:17:37.320 --> 0:17:37.720
<v Speaker 3>talking about.

0:17:37.720 --> 0:17:41.879
<v Speaker 2>I understand talking about NFL quarterback salary cap stuff is

0:17:41.960 --> 0:17:45.879
<v Speaker 2>not exactly exactly. I understand that I'm here for you.

0:17:45.840 --> 0:17:46.840
<v Speaker 3>And that's all that matters.

0:17:46.840 --> 0:17:49.760
<v Speaker 2>And you're pinch hitting and we appreciate it. You are

0:17:49.880 --> 0:17:54.440
<v Speaker 2>just such a confident person in every walk of life, right,

0:17:54.480 --> 0:17:57.760
<v Speaker 2>and then you have to read these sports questions and

0:17:57.800 --> 0:18:03.240
<v Speaker 2>you're like the kid giving the present, right exactly. You're

0:18:03.400 --> 0:18:04.399
<v Speaker 2>just so nervous.

0:18:04.520 --> 0:18:07.000
<v Speaker 3>I'm glad that you put it out there so people

0:18:07.040 --> 0:18:07.800
<v Speaker 3>can understand.

0:18:07.960 --> 0:18:11.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no, you're doing great, baby. All right. So here's

0:18:11.080 --> 0:18:17.480
<v Speaker 2>the deal. Mahomes in a weird spot because Mahomes could

0:18:18.040 --> 0:18:23.120
<v Speaker 2>every single year demand a new contract and the Chiefs

0:18:23.119 --> 0:18:26.960
<v Speaker 2>should give it to him. Every single year. He could say, oh,

0:18:27.000 --> 0:18:29.080
<v Speaker 2>who's the highest paid guy? Is he better than me? No?

0:18:29.160 --> 0:18:31.959
<v Speaker 2>I want more than him. So Lamar just got X.

0:18:32.000 --> 0:18:34.800
<v Speaker 2>I want X plus a dollar and Joe Burrow's getting

0:18:34.840 --> 0:18:37.080
<v Speaker 2>a new one. Give me xplusit, give me y plus

0:18:37.160 --> 0:18:42.480
<v Speaker 2>a dollar. He could do that. He is opting to

0:18:42.600 --> 0:18:45.960
<v Speaker 2>go a different path. And the path he's opting for

0:18:46.400 --> 0:18:50.040
<v Speaker 2>is I need to be one of the highest paid.

0:18:51.080 --> 0:18:55.879
<v Speaker 2>But if I leave some meat on the bone for

0:18:56.160 --> 0:19:02.360
<v Speaker 2>my contract, does that allow us to be more aggressive

0:19:02.920 --> 0:19:07.399
<v Speaker 2>when it comes to acquiring players and keep other great

0:19:07.520 --> 0:19:13.400
<v Speaker 2>players and such as Chris Jones. The guy who's really

0:19:13.480 --> 0:19:17.040
<v Speaker 2>underpaid for the Chiefs is Travis Kelcey, wildly underpaid, but

0:19:17.080 --> 0:19:22.719
<v Speaker 2>he doesn't seem to care. I do not think it

0:19:22.760 --> 0:19:28.520
<v Speaker 2>is Mahomes's responsibility. And I understand folks who make the

0:19:28.680 --> 0:19:32.600
<v Speaker 2>argument of he should take every single dollar he can

0:19:32.680 --> 0:19:37.800
<v Speaker 2>possibly make. What I would tell you is this strategy

0:19:37.960 --> 0:19:45.800
<v Speaker 2>for him? It might actually be from a pure dollars

0:19:46.000 --> 0:19:53.600
<v Speaker 2>and cents standpoint, the smartest because let's say that Patrick

0:19:53.640 --> 0:20:00.560
<v Speaker 2>Mahomes this year is leaving seven million dollars on the table, okay,

0:20:01.119 --> 0:20:06.359
<v Speaker 2>and let's say that number next year'd be eight million,

0:20:06.440 --> 0:20:11.719
<v Speaker 2>nine million. Let's say that number is seven million, eight million,

0:20:11.840 --> 0:20:14.840
<v Speaker 2>nine million, ten million, increasing over the next decade of

0:20:14.880 --> 0:20:19.440
<v Speaker 2>his career, do that math over the next decade, he'd

0:20:19.520 --> 0:20:24.879
<v Speaker 2>be leaving on the table about one hundred million dollars. Okay,

0:20:26.200 --> 0:20:30.840
<v Speaker 2>do you think you could make the argument that it

0:20:31.000 --> 0:20:37.280
<v Speaker 2>is worth one hundred million dollars not in feeling or

0:20:37.359 --> 0:20:43.800
<v Speaker 2>emotion or success, one hundred million dollars in actual cash

0:20:45.600 --> 0:20:50.560
<v Speaker 2>if he becomes the universally recognized greatest football player ever,

0:20:51.280 --> 0:20:56.240
<v Speaker 2>one hundred million dollars in more endorsements, in more opportunities,

0:20:56.720 --> 0:21:02.359
<v Speaker 2>better marketing, more, more investments that people try to bring

0:21:02.480 --> 0:21:05.359
<v Speaker 2>him in on because of who he is. What has

0:21:05.560 --> 0:21:10.440
<v Speaker 2>being Tom Brady earned Tom Brady as opposed to if

0:21:10.480 --> 0:21:14.520
<v Speaker 2>Brady had won two Super Bowls or even three Super Bowls,

0:21:14.960 --> 0:21:20.360
<v Speaker 2>how much money did Brady make as cream on the

0:21:20.400 --> 0:21:27.840
<v Speaker 2>top once he universally passed Joe Montana. I think financially

0:21:27.960 --> 0:21:35.320
<v Speaker 2>for Mahomes, there is more money in continuing to win

0:21:35.560 --> 0:21:39.920
<v Speaker 2>Super Bowls then there is an actual salary as long

0:21:39.960 --> 0:21:42.159
<v Speaker 2>as he's not as long as we're done about it,

0:21:42.200 --> 0:21:45.359
<v Speaker 2>between forty five million and fifty million, as oppose of

0:21:45.359 --> 0:21:48.840
<v Speaker 2>the difference between forty five million and eighty million. That

0:21:48.960 --> 0:21:52.280
<v Speaker 2>money can't be made up totally. So I do think

0:21:52.280 --> 0:21:55.119
<v Speaker 2>there's that now I understand. Andrew Brant, who used to

0:21:55.160 --> 0:22:00.199
<v Speaker 2>run the Packers, writes for SI is Big on that

0:22:00.680 --> 0:22:04.280
<v Speaker 2>the cap is a myth and no player should ever

0:22:04.320 --> 0:22:09.399
<v Speaker 2>take a discount and teams can rework things and players

0:22:09.400 --> 0:22:14.640
<v Speaker 2>and agents are being tricked. I vehemently disagree with him

0:22:14.640 --> 0:22:19.359
<v Speaker 2>on that when it comes to a player who plans

0:22:19.400 --> 0:22:23.400
<v Speaker 2>to be with a team for a decade plus, yes,

0:22:24.040 --> 0:22:27.760
<v Speaker 2>you can borrow from future years to pay a player

0:22:27.880 --> 0:22:31.919
<v Speaker 2>cash and not have it hit the cap. Absolutely, but

0:22:32.240 --> 0:22:38.439
<v Speaker 2>every dollar eventually becomes due. And if Mahomes's plan is

0:22:38.480 --> 0:22:42.120
<v Speaker 2>to be with the Chiefs until twenty thirty five, there

0:22:42.280 --> 0:22:48.080
<v Speaker 2>is no world where the money they pay him doesn't

0:22:48.280 --> 0:22:53.000
<v Speaker 2>eventually impact their ability in a season. He's on the

0:22:53.119 --> 0:22:57.720
<v Speaker 2>roster to field the best team possible. And so now

0:22:57.800 --> 0:23:00.840
<v Speaker 2>if the Chiefs ended up, you know, getting a discount

0:23:00.840 --> 0:23:03.760
<v Speaker 2>with Mahomes and then not spending to the cap or

0:23:03.880 --> 0:23:06.639
<v Speaker 2>being cheap those types of things, then he would have

0:23:06.680 --> 0:23:11.320
<v Speaker 2>a gripe. Thus far, that hasn't happened, and thus far

0:23:12.200 --> 0:23:14.280
<v Speaker 2>you can say, oh, well, they didn't want to pay Tyreek,

0:23:14.320 --> 0:23:15.919
<v Speaker 2>but it's not because they were being cheap. It was

0:23:15.960 --> 0:23:19.280
<v Speaker 2>because they wanted to spend those resources elsewhere. And they

0:23:19.359 --> 0:23:21.679
<v Speaker 2>ended up winning the Super Bowl. So I love what

0:23:21.760 --> 0:23:25.680
<v Speaker 2>he's doing. I think it's smart what he's doing, and

0:23:26.000 --> 0:23:30.639
<v Speaker 2>I think that right now it is very noteworthy to

0:23:30.840 --> 0:23:36.000
<v Speaker 2>see what Joe Burrow does and other quarterbacks trying to

0:23:36.040 --> 0:23:37.160
<v Speaker 2>compete with him.

0:23:37.480 --> 0:23:40.880
<v Speaker 3>All right, Next, Aaron Rodgers just can't wait to get

0:23:40.920 --> 0:23:42.720
<v Speaker 3>out of the new I mean, you can't stay out

0:23:42.720 --> 0:23:45.840
<v Speaker 3>of it and stay at noon. He hurt his cap

0:23:45.920 --> 0:23:49.119
<v Speaker 3>in his first practice with the Jets. Roger says that

0:23:49.200 --> 0:23:52.720
<v Speaker 3>he wakes up excited to come to the facility every day. Yep,

0:23:53.119 --> 0:23:56.639
<v Speaker 3>are you already getting a bad feeling about Roger's Jets marriage.

0:23:57.520 --> 0:23:59.520
<v Speaker 2>It's not so much that I'm getting a bad feeling,

0:24:00.359 --> 0:24:04.800
<v Speaker 2>it's that this is I think a lesson will be

0:24:04.920 --> 0:24:10.240
<v Speaker 2>a lesson for folks in any walk of life, any business,

0:24:11.000 --> 0:24:17.600
<v Speaker 2>about the importance of underpromising and over delivering, the importance

0:24:17.720 --> 0:24:24.800
<v Speaker 2>of expectation setting. Okay, So you see this in politics

0:24:24.800 --> 0:24:29.600
<v Speaker 2>a lot, where before a presidential debate you will have

0:24:30.080 --> 0:24:35.960
<v Speaker 2>people from a candidate's own camp talk to the media about,

0:24:36.040 --> 0:24:41.000
<v Speaker 2>am our guy's not a great debater. We're worried about this.

0:24:41.000 --> 0:24:46.160
<v Speaker 2>This is not his strong suit. That way, if he

0:24:46.720 --> 0:24:50.679
<v Speaker 2>has he or she has just a mediocre performance. We

0:24:50.760 --> 0:24:55.320
<v Speaker 2>were like, oh, beat expectations. This is why in a

0:24:55.480 --> 0:25:01.800
<v Speaker 2>marriage or with your kids before Christmas, Moore, if you

0:25:01.920 --> 0:25:05.359
<v Speaker 2>lead them to believe they're getting a pony and it

0:25:05.480 --> 0:25:09.520
<v Speaker 2>ends up being a puppy, they might actually be disappointed

0:25:09.840 --> 0:25:12.159
<v Speaker 2>when if you let them to believe can't do anything

0:25:12.160 --> 0:25:14.280
<v Speaker 2>for Christmas this year, and then you come home with

0:25:14.320 --> 0:25:17.199
<v Speaker 2>a puppy there over the moon. So why am I

0:25:17.200 --> 0:25:19.479
<v Speaker 2>bringing up with the Packer or sorry, with the Jets

0:25:19.480 --> 0:25:28.320
<v Speaker 2>and Rogers. The Jets and Rogers could have talked playoffs,

0:25:29.040 --> 0:25:33.440
<v Speaker 2>competing for the division, beating the Patriots for the first

0:25:33.480 --> 0:25:37.680
<v Speaker 2>time in eight years, as these we are building things. Lebron,

0:25:37.760 --> 0:25:43.240
<v Speaker 2>by the way, learned this lesson when Lebron went to Miami.

0:25:44.119 --> 0:25:48.440
<v Speaker 2>He holds that press conference and says not six, not seven,

0:25:48.960 --> 0:25:52.919
<v Speaker 2>not eight when it came to championships, and then he

0:25:53.040 --> 0:25:55.800
<v Speaker 2>wins two and four years, goes to four finals and

0:25:55.840 --> 0:25:59.800
<v Speaker 2>people are like, ah, kind of a disappointment. When he

0:26:00.240 --> 0:26:04.120
<v Speaker 2>to Cleveland in that article for Sports Illustrated, he said,

0:26:04.160 --> 0:26:06.320
<v Speaker 2>I know it won't be fast, I know it won't

0:26:06.320 --> 0:26:09.280
<v Speaker 2>be easy, but we're going to try to build to

0:26:09.400 --> 0:26:13.840
<v Speaker 2>eventually be a champion. He was in Cleveland for the

0:26:13.880 --> 0:26:16.560
<v Speaker 2>same amount of time he was in Miami. Four years.

0:26:17.040 --> 0:26:21.240
<v Speaker 2>They won one title. People think it was a resounding success.

0:26:22.200 --> 0:26:27.640
<v Speaker 2>Rogers got there and immediately started talking Super Bowl. Lombardes

0:26:27.920 --> 0:26:31.479
<v Speaker 2>Robert Sala yesterday said there's only six or eight teams

0:26:31.520 --> 0:26:35.040
<v Speaker 2>competing for the Super Bowl. We're one of them. Well, now,

0:26:35.800 --> 0:26:40.840
<v Speaker 2>if you go twelve and five but don't win the

0:26:40.880 --> 0:26:45.840
<v Speaker 2>division and lose in the divisional round, it would simultaneously.

0:26:44.920 --> 0:26:47.879
<v Speaker 3>Be isn't that what they're supposed to do? Like basically

0:26:48.960 --> 0:26:51.960
<v Speaker 3>make the fans feel good like I'm here to do

0:26:52.040 --> 0:26:55.520
<v Speaker 3>what I'm supposed to do. Like, you know, I think.

0:26:55.359 --> 0:26:59.920
<v Speaker 2>That's what their argument would be. My argument is, Jets fan,

0:27:00.480 --> 0:27:03.160
<v Speaker 2>the fans were going to be thinking super Bowl no

0:27:03.160 --> 0:27:07.560
<v Speaker 2>matter what got you. But you want to level set

0:27:07.720 --> 0:27:13.520
<v Speaker 2>expectations to where you can exceed them. And now, all

0:27:13.560 --> 0:27:15.720
<v Speaker 2>of a sudden, if they're twelve and five and losing

0:27:15.760 --> 0:27:19.919
<v Speaker 2>the divisional round, that will simultaneously be the best Jets

0:27:19.960 --> 0:27:24.280
<v Speaker 2>season in a decade and a disappointment. That's a mistake.

0:27:25.080 --> 0:27:29.560
<v Speaker 2>Now you can't sell Let's just compete for the playoffs.

0:27:29.560 --> 0:27:33.000
<v Speaker 2>See what happens if you're the Chiefs. The Chiefs now

0:27:33.040 --> 0:27:37.760
<v Speaker 2>have the burden of success and of expectations, where every

0:27:37.840 --> 0:27:41.320
<v Speaker 2>year it is Super Bowl or bust. But that's because

0:27:41.720 --> 0:27:46.320
<v Speaker 2>of what they've accomplished. The Jets lost I think six

0:27:46.400 --> 0:27:49.240
<v Speaker 2>straight games to finished the year the worst quarterback in

0:27:49.280 --> 0:27:52.160
<v Speaker 2>the league. So I don't think the marriage is doomed,

0:27:52.960 --> 0:27:55.680
<v Speaker 2>but I think they have set the bar too high

0:27:55.680 --> 0:28:00.920
<v Speaker 2>for themselves, and I think that's a mistake. Dampo doing

0:28:00.960 --> 0:28:05.159
<v Speaker 2>a great job. We're gonna play some games here. You

0:28:05.280 --> 0:28:08.640

0:29:28.080 --> 0:29:31.680
<v Speaker 2>The last time Danielle filled in on.

0:29:31.720 --> 0:29:36.040
<v Speaker 3>This show, oh baby, she and I were.

0:29:37.320 --> 0:29:43.200
<v Speaker 2>In a tiff. In a tiff, yeah, and the morning of.

0:29:44.000 --> 0:29:47.320
<v Speaker 2>In the morning of, I said, I was like, you

0:29:47.360 --> 0:29:48.720
<v Speaker 2>don't have to do it. I can just do it

0:29:48.720 --> 0:29:51.320
<v Speaker 2>by myself, and she was like, no, I'll do it.

0:29:52.000 --> 0:29:56.920
<v Speaker 2>I was like, boy, this could be you talk about

0:29:56.920 --> 0:30:02.320
<v Speaker 2>you being nervous reading those questions. I was more nervous

0:30:02.720 --> 0:30:06.360
<v Speaker 2>during that show than I was the first time I

0:30:06.400 --> 0:30:09.800
<v Speaker 2>filled in for Colin on the Herd Wow, because I

0:30:09.920 --> 0:30:13.240
<v Speaker 2>was like, this is like an hour of just live

0:30:13.400 --> 0:30:17.000
<v Speaker 2>broadcasts where at any point.

0:30:16.440 --> 0:30:17.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I was really mad at you.

0:30:17.800 --> 0:30:19.400
<v Speaker 2>You were really mad at it.

0:30:19.520 --> 0:30:20.800
<v Speaker 3>And I had a right to be mad at you.

0:30:20.840 --> 0:30:21.800
<v Speaker 3>That's why you were so hard.

0:30:21.920 --> 0:30:23.240
<v Speaker 2>Okay, we don't need to get in.

0:30:23.440 --> 0:30:25.360
<v Speaker 3>I'm just saying I just want people to know that

0:30:26.080 --> 0:30:29.800
<v Speaker 3>Nick made me very upset, and it was it was,

0:30:30.360 --> 0:30:32.400
<v Speaker 3>it was. It was a good reason for me to

0:30:32.440 --> 0:30:32.960
<v Speaker 3>be upset.

0:30:33.080 --> 0:30:37.400
<v Speaker 2>It was Honestly, I felt like the way I would

0:30:37.440 --> 0:30:41.360
<v Speaker 2>imagine a producer of one of those New Year's Eve

0:30:41.440 --> 0:30:45.760
<v Speaker 2>shows feels when they know their host the like for

0:30:45.920 --> 0:30:49.160
<v Speaker 2>rocking New Year's Eve has had a couple too many cocktails, huh,

0:30:49.320 --> 0:30:52.479
<v Speaker 2>and it's like, oh my god, whole career could just

0:30:52.560 --> 0:30:56.600
<v Speaker 2>go like go up and smoke here. No, I know

0:30:56.760 --> 0:30:58.560
<v Speaker 2>I am talking about for the producer, but I'm just

0:30:58.600 --> 0:31:01.160
<v Speaker 2>saying where it's just like you're just holding on for

0:31:01.280 --> 0:31:07.520
<v Speaker 2>dear life. On the flip side, now, you just endlessly

0:31:07.560 --> 0:31:11.760
<v Speaker 2>adore me, and today's show has been spectacular.

0:31:12.000 --> 0:31:12.840
<v Speaker 3>Shill out.

0:31:12.960 --> 0:31:15.920
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's get to uh sorry, sit the microphone.

0:31:16.040 --> 0:31:19.200
<v Speaker 2>Let's get to a game. Likely maybe what if regarding

0:31:19.240 --> 0:31:22.520
<v Speaker 2>your favorite topic, Lebron James, go ahead.

0:31:22.240 --> 0:31:23.120
<v Speaker 3>My favorite topic?

0:31:23.200 --> 0:31:24.800
<v Speaker 2>Your favorite? Uh huh?

0:31:24.880 --> 0:31:30.360
<v Speaker 3>Okay? What the Lakers now eliminated? Lebron's future is a mystery.

0:31:30.880 --> 0:31:34.680
<v Speaker 3>The Lakers GM said our hope would be his career continues.

0:31:36.160 --> 0:31:40.520
<v Speaker 3>It's time to polish off an old game for old

0:31:40.560 --> 0:31:43.680
<v Speaker 3>man Lebron. Likely maybe what.

0:31:43.560 --> 0:31:45.640
<v Speaker 2>If, yep, you will give us.

0:31:45.880 --> 0:31:48.800
<v Speaker 3>You will give us a likely outcome for Lebron next year,

0:31:48.960 --> 0:31:53.040
<v Speaker 3>a slightly more far fetched move and an out and

0:31:53.120 --> 0:31:56.360
<v Speaker 3>an out of left field idea. So what's Lebron up

0:31:56.360 --> 0:31:56.880
<v Speaker 3>to next?

0:31:56.920 --> 0:32:00.400
<v Speaker 2>All right? The most likely outcome is you just comes

0:32:00.400 --> 0:32:03.360
<v Speaker 2>back and plays for the Lakers. That's the most likely.

0:32:03.920 --> 0:32:09.440
<v Speaker 2>Is that the postgame press conference referencing retirement was a

0:32:09.480 --> 0:32:19.360
<v Speaker 2>combination of frustration, exhaustion, and I also thought credit where

0:32:19.400 --> 0:32:23.040
<v Speaker 2>it's due. I think it was Bill Simmons who made

0:32:23.040 --> 0:32:29.320
<v Speaker 2>this point. I also think for the first time in

0:32:29.440 --> 0:32:35.840
<v Speaker 2>Lebron's life, he played and you know what, Brew also

0:32:35.880 --> 0:32:38.640
<v Speaker 2>made this point. Brew and Bill Simmons made various versions

0:32:38.640 --> 0:32:42.640
<v Speaker 2>of this point. He played in a playoff game where

0:32:43.840 --> 0:32:49.080
<v Speaker 2>he played his best and he wasn't the best guy

0:32:49.120 --> 0:32:54.480
<v Speaker 2>out there. And I think that was Jarring. Now, he's

0:32:54.520 --> 0:32:58.200
<v Speaker 2>obviously lost plenty of times, and he had the series

0:32:58.200 --> 0:33:00.280
<v Speaker 2>against the Mavericks where he was not even close the

0:33:00.320 --> 0:33:03.200
<v Speaker 2>best guy out there, but he played terribly Lebron in

0:33:03.320 --> 0:33:06.760
<v Speaker 2>this game, played all forty eight minutes, had a career

0:33:06.840 --> 0:33:09.520
<v Speaker 2>high first half points, and at the end of it

0:33:09.560 --> 0:33:13.520
<v Speaker 2>was gassed and they lost, and the ball was in

0:33:13.600 --> 0:33:16.080
<v Speaker 2>his hands and he didn't make the shot. And I

0:33:16.120 --> 0:33:22.720
<v Speaker 2>think there's a man, you know I have I'm far, far,

0:33:22.960 --> 0:33:25.840
<v Speaker 2>far closer to the end than to the beginning. So

0:33:25.920 --> 0:33:32.400
<v Speaker 2>I think all of that was wrapped around his comments

0:33:32.400 --> 0:33:34.959
<v Speaker 2>about retirement. I think a little bit of it was

0:33:35.760 --> 0:33:38.800
<v Speaker 2>putting pressure on the Lakers, like gotta win now, gotta

0:33:38.800 --> 0:33:41.560
<v Speaker 2>win now? Do I know there is this narrative he

0:33:41.720 --> 0:33:46.320
<v Speaker 2>was trying to change the story from him missing the

0:33:46.320 --> 0:33:48.720
<v Speaker 2>shots at the end that to me, I mean he

0:33:48.760 --> 0:33:50.760
<v Speaker 2>had forty ten and nine and played the whole game,

0:33:50.920 --> 0:33:53.200
<v Speaker 2>was guarding Jokic, Like, I don't think that's what it was.

0:33:53.840 --> 0:33:56.560
<v Speaker 2>So I think the most likely is he's just back,

0:33:56.640 --> 0:33:58.560
<v Speaker 2>go ahead, just something you will say no.

0:33:58.680 --> 0:34:01.040
<v Speaker 3>But I just think that sometimes some people are frustrated,

0:34:01.080 --> 0:34:03.480
<v Speaker 3>they say things yeah they don't actually mean.

0:34:03.480 --> 0:34:10.200
<v Speaker 2>They don't or exactly right. Maybe though, because I do

0:34:10.280 --> 0:34:13.880
<v Speaker 2>think he is going to have the first surgery of

0:34:14.000 --> 0:34:17.960
<v Speaker 2>his career this offseason, first real surgery on that tendon

0:34:18.040 --> 0:34:24.120
<v Speaker 2>in his foot. Maybe he waits to have it until

0:34:24.239 --> 0:34:30.520
<v Speaker 2>late summer and because of that, misses the first fifteen

0:34:30.520 --> 0:34:34.000
<v Speaker 2>to twenty thirty games of the year, so he has

0:34:34.160 --> 0:34:36.120
<v Speaker 2>more in the tank at the end of the season.

0:34:36.719 --> 0:34:41.759
<v Speaker 2>So not a retirement, but a partial season due to

0:34:41.800 --> 0:34:42.520
<v Speaker 2>the surgery.

0:34:42.680 --> 0:34:43.640
<v Speaker 3>Do you like that idea?

0:34:44.920 --> 0:34:51.839
<v Speaker 2>I actually advocated that Lebron do this a few years ago.

0:34:52.320 --> 0:34:57.680
<v Speaker 2>Was that with Lebron, I mean, he's played sixty five

0:34:57.840 --> 0:35:02.040
<v Speaker 2>thousand minutes. Only Kareem has played more. Only Kareem and

0:35:02.120 --> 0:35:05.640
<v Speaker 2>Robert Parrish have played more games. Only six players in

0:35:05.640 --> 0:35:09.560
<v Speaker 2>the league history have played a twenty first season, and

0:35:09.640 --> 0:35:14.880
<v Speaker 2>only three guys, Dirk, Vince and KG actually played in

0:35:14.960 --> 0:35:17.160
<v Speaker 2>their twenty first seasons. The other guys were just, you know,

0:35:17.200 --> 0:35:21.680
<v Speaker 2>played a couple of minutes all year. That Lebron, it

0:35:21.760 --> 0:35:25.120
<v Speaker 2>maybe would be smart for him to be a fifty

0:35:25.239 --> 0:35:30.120
<v Speaker 2>game a season guy into the playoffs as he got older.

0:35:30.640 --> 0:35:34.920
<v Speaker 2>I don't hate the idea, However, can you trust the

0:35:35.000 --> 0:35:39.040
<v Speaker 2>Lakers if he were to miss thirty games to not

0:35:39.120 --> 0:35:42.600
<v Speaker 2>be in the same position they found themselves in this year.

0:35:42.680 --> 0:35:46.000
<v Speaker 2>Where one of the things that hurt the Lakers, and

0:35:46.000 --> 0:35:48.520
<v Speaker 2>one of the reasons Lebron ran out of gas at

0:35:48.520 --> 0:35:51.560
<v Speaker 2>the end despite playing all forty eight in the final game,

0:35:51.760 --> 0:35:56.839
<v Speaker 2>was they their playoffs started in March because they were

0:35:57.239 --> 0:36:01.440
<v Speaker 2>they were the eleven seed, so they were playing the Nuggets,

0:36:01.840 --> 0:36:05.200
<v Speaker 2>locked up the one seed and rested people. The Lakers

0:36:05.560 --> 0:36:08.879
<v Speaker 2>were in the eleventh spot and had to win every night.

0:36:09.120 --> 0:36:12.759
<v Speaker 2>And so since Lebron came back from his injury March

0:36:12.800 --> 0:36:17.120
<v Speaker 2>twenty six, two months ago, not only do he and

0:36:17.200 --> 0:36:20.439
<v Speaker 2>ad have the most minutes of anyone in basketball, they're

0:36:20.480 --> 0:36:24.680
<v Speaker 2>over nine hundred and there's only three other guys over

0:36:25.280 --> 0:36:29.839
<v Speaker 2>eight hundred or in the eight hundreds. And so I

0:36:29.920 --> 0:36:32.319
<v Speaker 2>do think that he had two months of playoffs in him,

0:36:32.440 --> 0:36:38.479
<v Speaker 2>but the playoffs started early. What if is what if

0:36:39.840 --> 0:36:45.360
<v Speaker 2>Lebron for the first time in his career, says I

0:36:45.440 --> 0:36:50.560
<v Speaker 2>want to trade. So this is something Kevin O'Connor brought up,

0:36:50.880 --> 0:36:55.640
<v Speaker 2>and it does warrant some discussion. So Lebron, to his credit,

0:36:56.560 --> 0:37:01.160
<v Speaker 2>has finished every contract he's ever signed. He has only

0:37:01.239 --> 0:37:04.880
<v Speaker 2>left teams via free agency. Now I know technically when

0:37:04.880 --> 0:37:06.640
<v Speaker 2>he went to Miami the first or when he went

0:37:06.680 --> 0:37:08.560
<v Speaker 2>to Miami he was a sign in trade, but he

0:37:08.640 --> 0:37:12.520
<v Speaker 2>was a free agent and he signed there. He has

0:37:13.000 --> 0:37:16.920
<v Speaker 2>one year left on his deal and then a player option. Now.

0:37:16.920 --> 0:37:19.400
<v Speaker 2>I don't think it's likely demands a trade in part

0:37:19.440 --> 0:37:22.879
<v Speaker 2>because his son is going to usc and he's gonna

0:37:22.880 --> 0:37:25.560
<v Speaker 2>want to watch him play, But there have been There

0:37:25.600 --> 0:37:28.359
<v Speaker 2>was an odd quote from Lebron a couple months ago

0:37:28.520 --> 0:37:32.759
<v Speaker 2>where he said, just because it's my dream to play

0:37:32.800 --> 0:37:34.440
<v Speaker 2>with Bronni doesn't mean it's his.

0:37:35.840 --> 0:37:39.440
<v Speaker 3>And yeah, I wouldn't want to play with my dad.

0:37:39.800 --> 0:37:42.919
<v Speaker 2>Well, so there's there's something to that. There is also

0:37:43.040 --> 0:37:48.760
<v Speaker 2>something too. Again I do not know their relationship at all,

0:37:48.880 --> 0:37:54.960
<v Speaker 2>but as a parent, I could totally imagine a scenario

0:37:55.040 --> 0:37:59.719
<v Speaker 2>where at fourteen and fifteen, when Bronni is starting to

0:37:59.719 --> 0:38:03.799
<v Speaker 2>ass sinned as an athlete, him and Lebron being in

0:38:04.000 --> 0:38:08.480
<v Speaker 2>lockstep son, I'm a hold on until you get to

0:38:08.520 --> 0:38:10.800
<v Speaker 2>the league. I'm gonna help you get to the league.

0:38:10.920 --> 0:38:13.879
<v Speaker 2>We're gonna play together, and the kid being like, oh

0:38:13.920 --> 0:38:17.040
<v Speaker 2>my god, that would be the coolest thing ever at

0:38:17.120 --> 0:38:20.279
<v Speaker 2>fourteen years old, and at eighteen years old with a

0:38:20.400 --> 0:38:24.640
<v Speaker 2>seven million dollar nil deal of his own and the

0:38:24.640 --> 0:38:28.520
<v Speaker 2>most popular kid in school. And I would imagine girlfriends

0:38:28.880 --> 0:38:31.680
<v Speaker 2>and millions of followers on social and now going to

0:38:31.800 --> 0:38:34.799
<v Speaker 2>USC and like, I mean, I don't want to hang

0:38:34.800 --> 0:38:39.560
<v Speaker 2>out with you dad, right, Like that is the idea.

0:38:39.719 --> 0:38:44.800
<v Speaker 2>It sounds funny, but the idea that for Bronni Lebron

0:38:44.960 --> 0:38:48.120
<v Speaker 2>is just kind of corny and old.

0:38:48.400 --> 0:38:50.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. And I was like, when we went to do

0:38:50.080 --> 0:38:53.160
<v Speaker 3>Yours brom nobody knew you were her dad. She hadn't

0:38:53.160 --> 0:38:53.840
<v Speaker 3>told anybody.

0:38:54.000 --> 0:38:57.120
<v Speaker 4>Oh that that that was hilarious.

0:38:57.200 --> 0:38:59.360
<v Speaker 2>That you want to tell that story to the audience

0:38:59.400 --> 0:39:00.920
<v Speaker 2>real quick. Then I'll get to the Lebron.

0:39:01.000 --> 0:39:03.759
<v Speaker 3>What if everybody's like Nick writes here, Nick writes, you

0:39:03.760 --> 0:39:05.440
<v Speaker 3>can hear all the boys, Nick, right?

0:39:05.560 --> 0:39:05.719
<v Speaker 2>Nick?

0:39:05.760 --> 0:39:08.400
<v Speaker 3>Great, somebody introduced himself and he's like, what are you

0:39:08.480 --> 0:39:11.160
<v Speaker 3>doing here? He's like, I'm yours dad? Really?

0:39:11.520 --> 0:39:18.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? So my daughter evidently as hidden the fact that

0:39:18.760 --> 0:39:22.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm that who like who she is? Who I am from?

0:39:22.360 --> 0:39:26.360
<v Speaker 2>Not from her friends, no, but from like the outer circle.

0:39:26.960 --> 0:39:32.279
<v Speaker 2>Because ultimately, no kid really at that age thinks their

0:39:32.320 --> 0:39:34.800
<v Speaker 2>parents cool wants to hang out with them matter.

0:39:34.680 --> 0:39:35.120
<v Speaker 3>What they do.

0:39:35.120 --> 0:39:38.799
<v Speaker 2>Doesn't matter what they do, And so could I see

0:39:38.800 --> 0:39:45.200
<v Speaker 2>a scenario where Bronnie doesn't want Lebron Court sided these

0:39:45.280 --> 0:39:48.680
<v Speaker 2>USC games, you know what I mean, doesn't the and

0:39:49.760 --> 0:39:52.279
<v Speaker 2>so again I'm not saying that's what it is, but

0:39:52.440 --> 0:39:56.400
<v Speaker 2>just as a parent, I can I could see that happening.

0:39:57.200 --> 0:40:02.319
<v Speaker 2>So if he were to demand a trade, we now

0:40:02.600 --> 0:40:07.680
<v Speaker 2>have to thread the needle of Danielle. A team that

0:40:07.800 --> 0:40:12.160
<v Speaker 2>has the salaries to make it work, has assets the

0:40:12.239 --> 0:40:18.279
<v Speaker 2>Lakers might want and would be interested in trading any

0:40:18.320 --> 0:40:22.799
<v Speaker 2>type of assets for what might just be one year

0:40:22.880 --> 0:40:27.040
<v Speaker 2>of Lebron James. Because once you're at his age, his

0:40:27.480 --> 0:40:31.760
<v Speaker 2>portion of his career, he could retire at any moment

0:40:32.320 --> 0:40:36.279
<v Speaker 2>and to go back to the Bronny thing. If he

0:40:36.360 --> 0:40:39.600
<v Speaker 2>and Bronnie do play on playing with each other, that

0:40:39.640 --> 0:40:43.399
<v Speaker 2>could happen as recently as in as soon as two

0:40:43.480 --> 0:40:46.680
<v Speaker 2>years from now or a year and a half from now.

0:40:46.880 --> 0:40:48.640
<v Speaker 2>And so when he team trading for him is like, well, okay,

0:40:48.680 --> 0:40:50.560
<v Speaker 2>well his contract's only got a year left. He could

0:40:50.640 --> 0:40:53.560
<v Speaker 2>leave in a year and we would be, you know,

0:40:53.960 --> 0:40:58.000
<v Speaker 2>out whatever we traded for him. So what team has

0:40:58.080 --> 0:41:05.239
<v Speaker 2>the assets, believes they can win right now and would

0:41:05.280 --> 0:41:09.800
<v Speaker 2>make sense for Lebron Well that's when Kevin O'Connor brings

0:41:09.880 --> 0:41:15.200
<v Speaker 2>up the Golden State Warriors. You start having a real

0:41:15.239 --> 0:41:18.360
<v Speaker 2>discussion there. Go ahead, What are you shaking her head about?

0:41:18.680 --> 0:41:19.920
<v Speaker 2>Why do you not like the sound of it?

0:41:20.000 --> 0:41:25.719
<v Speaker 3>I mean, it's just been his rival forever, you know,

0:41:25.800 --> 0:41:28.600
<v Speaker 3>It's just it just doesn't sound right. I mean, you know,

0:41:28.760 --> 0:41:31.040
<v Speaker 3>but I guess it was for that for Durant as well.

0:41:31.920 --> 0:41:34.520
<v Speaker 2>So people would say, oh, Durant did it, and you

0:41:34.640 --> 0:41:36.760
<v Speaker 2>killed Durant for doing it. You'd be fine if Lebron

0:41:36.840 --> 0:41:40.240
<v Speaker 2>did it, This would be an apples and bowling bulls.

0:41:40.480 --> 0:41:43.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, because I think Durant he was supposed to be

0:41:43.719 --> 0:41:46.000
<v Speaker 3>the best player, and he was supposed to just build

0:41:46.040 --> 0:41:48.680
<v Speaker 3>something off of Durant, and then he went to the Warriors, right,

0:41:48.800 --> 0:41:49.640
<v Speaker 3>so what you're kind of like?

0:41:49.719 --> 0:41:55.960
<v Speaker 2>And the Warriors had a that the Warriors had just

0:41:56.000 --> 0:41:58.920
<v Speaker 2>won seventy three games, had just beaten.

0:41:58.640 --> 0:41:59.960
<v Speaker 3>Durant, right exactly.

0:42:00.320 --> 0:42:04.480
<v Speaker 2>And Durant was in the prime of his career. Steph

0:42:04.640 --> 0:42:08.120
<v Speaker 2>was in the prime of his career. Lebron and Steph

0:42:09.040 --> 0:42:12.440
<v Speaker 2>are will be Lebron will be the oldest player in

0:42:12.440 --> 0:42:15.480
<v Speaker 2>the league next year, Steph one of the oldest. The

0:42:15.560 --> 0:42:19.080
<v Speaker 2>Lakers just beat the Warriors. The Warriors are on a

0:42:19.080 --> 0:42:22.080
<v Speaker 2>seventy three win team, they were the sixth seed. It

0:42:22.120 --> 0:42:25.319
<v Speaker 2>would be like a last hurrah. Why else would the

0:42:25.320 --> 0:42:29.920
<v Speaker 2>Warriors make So the trade would be Jordan Poole, Jonathan Kaminga,

0:42:30.000 --> 0:42:34.680
<v Speaker 2>Moses Moody. So the Warriors would be getting off Pool's

0:42:34.719 --> 0:42:37.600
<v Speaker 2>contract and the Lakers will be thinking, maybe he'll get

0:42:37.600 --> 0:42:40.319
<v Speaker 2>back to being the player he was before Draymond punched him.

0:42:40.320 --> 0:42:45.000
<v Speaker 2>If Draymond's gone, you'd get the young lottery picks and

0:42:45.040 --> 0:42:50.319
<v Speaker 2>Cominga and Moody. Here's the other thing. The Warriors are

0:42:50.320 --> 0:42:54.399
<v Speaker 2>about to have a contentious negotiation with Draymond Green. They

0:42:54.440 --> 0:42:57.920
<v Speaker 2>want him back, but they want him to take a discount.

0:42:58.239 --> 0:43:01.080
<v Speaker 2>It's going to be impossible to miants Draymond to take

0:43:01.200 --> 0:43:04.560
<v Speaker 2>less money than Jordan Poole makes thirty two million a year.

0:43:05.520 --> 0:43:07.440
<v Speaker 2>You know what I think would be a good negotiating

0:43:07.480 --> 0:43:10.400
<v Speaker 2>position if you're the Warriors, go to Draymond and be like, so,

0:43:10.520 --> 0:43:13.800
<v Speaker 2>here's the deal. We want you to sign for twenty

0:43:13.880 --> 0:43:19.719
<v Speaker 2>million a year, three years, sixty million bucks. We know

0:43:19.800 --> 0:43:23.680
<v Speaker 2>that doesn't sound good deal, but what if we traded

0:43:23.760 --> 0:43:28.280
<v Speaker 2>away the kid you hit, don't deal with him anymore,

0:43:29.560 --> 0:43:33.640
<v Speaker 2>and the person we got back. Is your best bud

0:43:33.719 --> 0:43:37.960
<v Speaker 2>who you bear hugged after the playoffs, Lebron James. I

0:43:38.000 --> 0:43:40.879
<v Speaker 2>think Draymond might be amenable to that. How good would

0:43:40.920 --> 0:43:45.200
<v Speaker 2>that team be? Well, you would start Steph Clay, Lebron,

0:43:45.320 --> 0:43:50.279
<v Speaker 2>Draymond Looney. You would have Wiggins and Gary Payton coming

0:43:50.320 --> 0:43:54.120
<v Speaker 2>off the bench. Wow, that can win the title. Yeah,

0:43:54.239 --> 0:43:56.600
<v Speaker 2>that would be the favorites to win the title. Now,

0:43:56.680 --> 0:44:00.520
<v Speaker 2>it would be a very short window, but and the

0:44:00.560 --> 0:44:04.279
<v Speaker 2>Warriors luxury tax bill would be obscene. However, they would

0:44:04.280 --> 0:44:09.000
<v Speaker 2>then just be recognizing our two track plan went awry

0:44:09.800 --> 0:44:12.600
<v Speaker 2>and we're gonna try to peel one more title. I

0:44:12.680 --> 0:44:16.920
<v Speaker 2>don't think it's insane. I absolutely think it's on the board,

0:44:16.960 --> 0:44:18.400
<v Speaker 2>and I don't want to say it's on the board.

0:44:19.000 --> 0:44:23.359
<v Speaker 2>But if Lebron were to demand a trade, is there

0:44:23.520 --> 0:44:28.520
<v Speaker 2>any other team that makes a ton of sense? Not really.

0:44:29.920 --> 0:44:31.799
<v Speaker 2>If he wants to stay in LA, he's not gonna

0:44:31.840 --> 0:44:34.440
<v Speaker 2>go to the Clippers, I mean stay in California. I

0:44:34.480 --> 0:44:37.759
<v Speaker 2>mean it's not gonna go to the Clippers. The King's timeline.

0:44:37.760 --> 0:44:41.400
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't make sense. He's not gonna go out east

0:44:41.520 --> 0:44:46.640
<v Speaker 2>like there's something there. So I think he just returns

0:44:46.640 --> 0:44:49.080
<v Speaker 2>as a Laker. I think maybe he missed the start

0:44:49.120 --> 0:44:51.759
<v Speaker 2>of the season. And what if he says, send me

0:44:51.760 --> 0:44:55.000
<v Speaker 2>to the Warriors pool Kaming and Moody works. The Warriors

0:44:55.040 --> 0:44:57.480
<v Speaker 2>have the best seven man rotation in basketball.

0:44:58.160 --> 0:45:00.840
<v Speaker 3>It'd be pretty fun to watch more.

0:45:01.239 --> 0:45:04.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I would imagine, I mean it would because you

0:45:04.640 --> 0:45:09.640
<v Speaker 2>like the Warriors Wars. Yeah, I'm his. And one last

0:45:09.640 --> 0:45:13.800
<v Speaker 2>point on this. An odd part of this phase of

0:45:13.920 --> 0:45:19.360
<v Speaker 2>Lebron's career is some of the most ardent and vocal

0:45:19.520 --> 0:45:25.360
<v Speaker 2>Lebron critics are who Kobe fans because Lebron and Kobe

0:45:25.360 --> 0:45:28.600
<v Speaker 2>had a rivalry and the Lebron goes to the Lakers

0:45:29.480 --> 0:45:33.560
<v Speaker 2>wins a title, and some of them still are anti Lebron,

0:45:33.840 --> 0:45:36.920
<v Speaker 2>but he has won some of them over. Who are

0:45:36.960 --> 0:45:41.320
<v Speaker 2>the most vocal Lebron critics of the last post Kobe

0:45:41.760 --> 0:45:47.160
<v Speaker 2>Steph fans goes to the Warriors and helps them win

0:45:47.320 --> 0:45:49.680
<v Speaker 2>some of them over. So it's something there. All right,

0:45:49.719 --> 0:45:51.960
<v Speaker 2>let's play another game. We'll do it quick so we

0:45:51.960 --> 0:45:54.000
<v Speaker 2>don't go too late. Go ahead, what's the game.

0:45:55.360 --> 0:45:56.200
<v Speaker 3>All in or fold?

0:45:56.280 --> 0:45:57.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, let's do it.

0:45:57.480 --> 0:45:59.600
<v Speaker 3>Everyone now thinks the Nuggets are the best team in

0:45:59.640 --> 0:46:03.400
<v Speaker 3>the NBA and Yokic is the best player crazy. What

0:46:03.520 --> 0:46:06.640
<v Speaker 3>sweeping the Lakers will do for you? Yep, all interfold.

0:46:06.760 --> 0:46:10.240
<v Speaker 3>Yokish wins the finals MVP and silences the haters.

0:46:10.680 --> 0:46:12.239
<v Speaker 2>I'm not gonna go all in on this because I

0:46:12.320 --> 0:46:14.960
<v Speaker 2>think the Heat have a real shot in that series.

0:46:15.600 --> 0:46:21.040
<v Speaker 2>I don't. I think the Jokic hater narrative at this

0:46:21.200 --> 0:46:26.960
<v Speaker 2>point is a straw man. It certainly existed in the past,

0:46:27.960 --> 0:46:29.719
<v Speaker 2>and all raised my hand to it. I was one

0:46:29.760 --> 0:46:35.839
<v Speaker 2>of the faces of it. It no longer exists, and

0:46:35.880 --> 0:46:38.879
<v Speaker 2>it is not. And this is where I get frustrated.

0:46:40.239 --> 0:46:47.640
<v Speaker 2>People act as if treating Jokic the way we have

0:46:47.760 --> 0:46:56.560
<v Speaker 2>treated every potentially all time great ever is unfair. It

0:46:56.600 --> 0:47:03.960
<v Speaker 2>is not so. There have only been a handful of

0:47:04.080 --> 0:47:12.839
<v Speaker 2>guys ever who won multiple MVPs before going on a

0:47:13.000 --> 0:47:17.479
<v Speaker 2>deep to the finals or to a championship postseason run.

0:47:18.200 --> 0:47:22.759
<v Speaker 2>All of them were criticized, so you might say, well,

0:47:22.840 --> 0:47:26.919
<v Speaker 2>Lebron won, Yet Lebron made the finals at twenty two,

0:47:27.800 --> 0:47:32.319
<v Speaker 2>didn't win his first MVP for two more years. He

0:47:32.480 --> 0:47:36.160
<v Speaker 2>already had shown you he could be that guy in

0:47:36.200 --> 0:47:42.360
<v Speaker 2>the playoffs. Durant made the finals before he won his MVP.

0:47:43.440 --> 0:47:49.640
<v Speaker 2>Kobe had three championships before he won his MVP. Shack

0:47:50.360 --> 0:47:55.799
<v Speaker 2>was a champion before he won his MVP. Steph won

0:47:55.840 --> 0:48:01.200
<v Speaker 2>his championship the same year he won his first MVP.

0:48:02.000 --> 0:48:08.360
<v Speaker 2>So who were the guys who won multiple MVPs before

0:48:08.560 --> 0:48:14.040
<v Speaker 2>even making a finals? Jokic guess okay set him aside

0:48:14.040 --> 0:48:19.000
<v Speaker 2>for a moment. Yannis won two MVPs before ever making

0:48:19.000 --> 0:48:22.319
<v Speaker 2>a finals. And you know what, people wouldn't call him

0:48:22.320 --> 0:48:26.040
<v Speaker 2>the best player in the world. People said Durant was better.

0:48:26.280 --> 0:48:30.120
<v Speaker 2>People were arguing Anthony Davis was better. Oh, Yannis is

0:48:30.160 --> 0:48:33.520
<v Speaker 2>a great regular season guy, but what's in his bag?

0:48:33.680 --> 0:48:36.880
<v Speaker 2>Doesn't have a jumper, can't hit free throws. And then

0:48:37.719 --> 0:48:39.840
<v Speaker 2>he went to the finals. Even when he got to

0:48:39.880 --> 0:48:42.080
<v Speaker 2>the finals, people were like, ah, they got lucky. Duran's

0:48:42.080 --> 0:48:45.120
<v Speaker 2>foot was on the line. It wasn't until he had

0:48:45.160 --> 0:48:47.919
<v Speaker 2>a fifty piece to win a title that everyone laid

0:48:47.960 --> 0:48:52.280
<v Speaker 2>down their swords. Steve Nash won two MVPs before making

0:48:52.320 --> 0:48:55.160
<v Speaker 2>the finals. People were like, ah, were those good MVPs?

0:48:55.160 --> 0:48:57.880
<v Speaker 2>Are bad MVPs? He then never made a finals, and

0:48:57.960 --> 0:49:01.760
<v Speaker 2>we look back, we're like, probably little our skis Michael

0:49:02.200 --> 0:49:07.720
<v Speaker 2>Bleeping Jordan. Go back and read the Chicago Sun Times

0:49:07.840 --> 0:49:12.239
<v Speaker 2>articles from nineteen eighty nine and nineteen ninety. He won

0:49:12.360 --> 0:49:17.400
<v Speaker 2>MVP in eighty eight and they called Jordan great stats,

0:49:17.480 --> 0:49:20.520
<v Speaker 2>not a winner. Then he won his second MVP in

0:49:20.680 --> 0:49:23.520
<v Speaker 2>ninety one, and what did he do in ninety one?

0:49:23.920 --> 0:49:31.120
<v Speaker 2>Won the title? This is how we've always done it. Now,

0:49:32.520 --> 0:49:36.799
<v Speaker 2>was I do I look back and say when I

0:49:36.880 --> 0:49:41.480
<v Speaker 2>called yok it's the worst MVP since Dave Cowens when

0:49:41.560 --> 0:49:46.280
<v Speaker 2>he won his first one. As a little harsh, maybe,

0:49:46.719 --> 0:49:51.759
<v Speaker 2>but calling someone the worst MVP is kind of like

0:49:52.120 --> 0:49:56.240
<v Speaker 2>the poorest on the Forbes five hundred list. You're still

0:49:56.320 --> 0:50:00.919
<v Speaker 2>super rich, right and and Ki And by the way,

0:50:01.840 --> 0:50:07.600
<v Speaker 2>prior to this postseason, Nikolajokic in his last twenty playoff games,

0:50:08.000 --> 0:50:13.120
<v Speaker 2>was six and fourteen. Prior to this postseason, nikola Jokicic's

0:50:13.280 --> 0:50:17.280
<v Speaker 2>worst series of his postseason career was his one Conference

0:50:17.320 --> 0:50:21.520
<v Speaker 2>finals appearance. Now, if you are criticizing him in the

0:50:21.560 --> 0:50:24.719
<v Speaker 2>midst of this postseason, if you're saying, ah to, don't

0:50:24.719 --> 0:50:26.920
<v Speaker 2>believe in him, if he doesn't win the title, he's

0:50:26.960 --> 0:50:31.200
<v Speaker 2>a fraud, then you're being unfair. But nobody is saying that.

0:50:32.719 --> 0:50:39.040
<v Speaker 2>And it is it is to me irrational when folks

0:50:40.000 --> 0:50:44.600
<v Speaker 2>act persecuted because they are simply treated the way we've

0:50:44.600 --> 0:50:51.239
<v Speaker 2>treated everyone else. So that's it. As Jokic won me over,

0:50:51.400 --> 0:50:54.359
<v Speaker 2>of course he has you know how he did it

0:50:55.000 --> 0:50:59.399
<v Speaker 2>by following the same steps. Everyone has to show it

0:50:59.440 --> 0:51:03.720
<v Speaker 2>to me on a deep playoff run. That's how the

0:51:03.760 --> 0:51:07.800
<v Speaker 2>It's not baseball where Mike Trout, greatest player in the world,

0:51:08.120 --> 0:51:11.800
<v Speaker 2>doesn't make the playoffs. Who cares? That's not how professional

0:51:12.120 --> 0:51:18.240
<v Speaker 2>basketball works. Next, I'm Michael Malone, Nuggets coach. Keeps taking

0:51:18.239 --> 0:51:20.560
<v Speaker 2>these subtle shots at me. Not a fan of it.

0:51:21.800 --> 0:51:26.680
<v Speaker 2>Yok has been unbelievable, but we were what you say.

0:51:26.600 --> 0:51:27.319
<v Speaker 3>I know about this.

0:51:27.680 --> 0:51:29.480
<v Speaker 2>It's just let's just keep going go ahead.

0:51:30.560 --> 0:51:33.479
<v Speaker 3>Reports are that John I mean that Josh Allen wants

0:51:33.520 --> 0:51:34.920
<v Speaker 3>to bring the titles a Buffalo.

0:51:35.200 --> 0:51:38.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no shot what Wow, you're just cursing on the shot.

0:51:39.719 --> 0:51:46.160
<v Speaker 5>Nobody When bon Miller aiming for the mid season comeback

0:51:46.520 --> 0:51:50.400
<v Speaker 5>and deep hop de hop trade rumors still swarming, swirling.

0:51:51.440 --> 0:51:55.000
<v Speaker 3>They definitely have a shot all in Erfold, this is

0:51:55.000 --> 0:51:57.640
<v Speaker 3>the Bill's best shot at a super Bowl yet, oh.

0:51:57.600 --> 0:51:59.640
<v Speaker 2>Fold, No, their best show was two years ago. They

0:51:59.640 --> 0:52:02.360
<v Speaker 2>should have won it two years ago. They're up on

0:52:02.400 --> 0:52:06.320
<v Speaker 2>the Chiefs with thirteen seconds left and they choked it. Sorry,

0:52:06.800 --> 0:52:10.200
<v Speaker 2>that was their best chance. Josh Allen's contract hadn't kicked in.

0:52:10.480 --> 0:52:13.280
<v Speaker 2>I think Stefan Diggs was a bit better. The league

0:52:13.480 --> 0:52:16.000
<v Speaker 2>was not as strong as it is right now. They

0:52:16.040 --> 0:52:18.640
<v Speaker 2>would have gotten the Bengals, who I think that year

0:52:18.680 --> 0:52:21.360
<v Speaker 2>they could have matched up well against, and then the Rams,

0:52:21.360 --> 0:52:23.440
<v Speaker 2>who I think they would have rocked in the Super Bowl.

0:52:23.640 --> 0:52:26.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry Buffalo Brent Hanks, my friend from Poker Go

0:52:27.239 --> 0:52:30.439
<v Speaker 2>and the different the Bills fan that I met at

0:52:31.440 --> 0:52:35.719
<v Speaker 2>Soho House the other night. But no, I think you've

0:52:35.719 --> 0:52:38.920
<v Speaker 2>been jumped in line. I think your chance you took

0:52:38.960 --> 0:52:40.640
<v Speaker 2>a shot at the King and you missed in that

0:52:40.680 --> 0:52:43.960
<v Speaker 2>playoff game against the Chiefs. And now the Bengals are

0:52:44.000 --> 0:52:46.520
<v Speaker 2>right there. We'll see what the Ravens look like. The

0:52:46.600 --> 0:52:49.560
<v Speaker 2>Dolphins are coming. Your division got tougher with Aaron Rodgers.

0:52:49.760 --> 0:52:51.920
<v Speaker 2>So no, their best chance was two years ago. It

0:52:51.920 --> 0:52:54.200
<v Speaker 2>doesn't mean they'll never win one. But their best chance

0:52:54.320 --> 0:52:57.040
<v Speaker 2>was two years ago. Next tough one for you here,

0:52:57.160 --> 0:52:57.960
<v Speaker 2>Dan pooh.

0:52:57.800 --> 0:53:01.680
<v Speaker 3>Brock Party, good job. Set to start throwing again next

0:53:01.760 --> 0:53:05.560
<v Speaker 3>week after entering his elbow in the NFC Championship game.

0:53:07.080 --> 0:53:10.120
<v Speaker 3>He's not a lot to fully back to be fully

0:53:10.320 --> 0:53:12.799
<v Speaker 3>way back the week one, but the forty nine ers

0:53:12.800 --> 0:53:17.040
<v Speaker 3>think that he's still there guy all interfold proc perty

0:53:17.239 --> 0:53:18.880
<v Speaker 3>will be starting in the playoffs.

0:53:19.000 --> 0:53:20.960
<v Speaker 2>You know, I'm actually gonna fold on this, not because

0:53:20.960 --> 0:53:24.160
<v Speaker 2>the Niners, excuse me, aren't going to be in the playoffs,

0:53:24.200 --> 0:53:27.120
<v Speaker 2>but because I don't think he's their guy. I think

0:53:27.160 --> 0:53:32.680
<v Speaker 2>they have to see if Trey Lance is their guy,

0:53:33.640 --> 0:53:36.520
<v Speaker 2>and I think they have a limited ceiling with Purty.

0:53:37.320 --> 0:53:41.440
<v Speaker 2>And I also worry about his body holding up. So

0:53:41.520 --> 0:53:43.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna be I'm gonna be one of the last

0:53:43.080 --> 0:53:45.200
<v Speaker 2>people to think that Trey Lance has a real shot

0:53:45.239 --> 0:53:46.839
<v Speaker 2>to be in the quarterback for the Niners. So I'm

0:53:46.840 --> 0:53:47.880
<v Speaker 2>gonna fold on that all right.

0:53:47.960 --> 0:53:52.160
<v Speaker 3>Last one, the NFL changes the kickoff rule to where

0:53:52.560 --> 0:53:56.520
<v Speaker 3>every fair catch is a touchback. In response, your coach

0:53:57.120 --> 0:54:00.200
<v Speaker 3>Andy Reid said the league has turned into flag football.

0:54:00.560 --> 0:54:03.400
<v Speaker 3>All in or fold kickoffs should be canceled entirely.

0:54:04.360 --> 0:54:06.839
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I think they probably I'm all in on this,

0:54:07.080 --> 0:54:10.080
<v Speaker 2>with the caveat of what does it do to onside kicks?

0:54:10.400 --> 0:54:13.759
<v Speaker 2>They need to make the onside kick That idea that

0:54:13.840 --> 0:54:16.120
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if it's the XFL or USFL had,

0:54:16.920 --> 0:54:19.959
<v Speaker 2>it's just a fourth and like seventeen player a fourth

0:54:20.040 --> 0:54:23.040
<v Speaker 2>and thirteen play and you run it from the thirty

0:54:23.040 --> 0:54:27.000
<v Speaker 2>five yard line and you do it like that. I

0:54:27.120 --> 0:54:31.000
<v Speaker 2>love kick returns, but they've determined they're not safe, and

0:54:31.080 --> 0:54:33.439
<v Speaker 2>so they're just trying to take them out of the game.

0:54:34.040 --> 0:54:42.080
<v Speaker 2>And there are certain adjustments. Guys. The football is trying

0:54:42.120 --> 0:54:47.920
<v Speaker 2>to find ways to stay as safe as possible playing

0:54:47.960 --> 0:54:51.480
<v Speaker 2>an inherently dangerous game. And if one of the costs

0:54:51.480 --> 0:54:53.360
<v Speaker 2>of it is the kickoffs gotta go away, then the

0:54:53.440 --> 0:54:56.520
<v Speaker 2>kickoffs gotta go away. I understand some people are up

0:54:56.520 --> 0:55:01.600
<v Speaker 2>in arms about it. It's just the brute. As human

0:55:01.680 --> 0:55:07.800
<v Speaker 2>beings evolve and the athlete evolves to bigger, stronger, faster,

0:55:08.280 --> 0:55:13.320
<v Speaker 2>football becomes more dangerous than ever before because guys this size,

0:55:13.400 --> 0:55:16.440
<v Speaker 2>we're not ever supposed to be this fast and agile

0:55:16.960 --> 0:55:20.520
<v Speaker 2>and fierce, and so they've got to make adjustments. So

0:55:20.520 --> 0:55:23.359
<v Speaker 2>I'm not gonna There are certain things the NFL does

0:55:23.400 --> 0:55:25.239
<v Speaker 2>that I think is outrageous. I think the Thursday night

0:55:25.239 --> 0:55:29.320
<v Speaker 2>football flexing is outrageous and an insult to the paying customer.

0:55:29.800 --> 0:55:33.120
<v Speaker 2>I think the removing kickoffs or trying to eliminate kickoffs

0:55:33.520 --> 0:55:36.719
<v Speaker 2>is just the cost of doing business. Danielle and I

0:55:36.840 --> 0:55:40.000
<v Speaker 2>answer your questions and comments. Next, very quick break, right back,

0:55:40.040 --> 0:55:49.919
<v Speaker 2>What's Right? Welcome back in episode one fifty four What's

0:55:50.000 --> 0:55:53.240
<v Speaker 2>Right with Nick Wright. We now will answer some listener

0:55:53.360 --> 0:55:55.719
<v Speaker 2>questions and if you guys have some specific questions for

0:55:55.880 --> 0:55:58.600
<v Speaker 2>Danielle because we don't know when she'll be back on

0:55:58.640 --> 0:56:03.400
<v Speaker 2>the show, because Doora will be back on Tuesday, you

0:56:03.440 --> 0:56:08.439
<v Speaker 2>can include those in the chat. Ryan Fitzgerald's got one says, Hey, Nick,

0:56:09.120 --> 0:56:13.600
<v Speaker 2>just had my first child yesterday. What what's some advice

0:56:13.640 --> 0:56:16.719
<v Speaker 2>for a new father like myself? Do you want to

0:56:16.760 --> 0:56:20.239
<v Speaker 2>give the advice first? You think about it. I'll give

0:56:20.280 --> 0:56:27.000
<v Speaker 2>my piece of advice first. This is now. I was

0:56:27.120 --> 0:56:31.240
<v Speaker 2>very lucky because when Danielle and I had Deanna, Danielle

0:56:31.239 --> 0:56:34.239
<v Speaker 2>obviously had already had two babies before she and I

0:56:34.280 --> 0:56:37.680
<v Speaker 2>got together. We got together when Diora was a toddler.

0:56:38.000 --> 0:56:40.680
<v Speaker 2>But I had never been, you know, done the infant stuff.

0:56:40.680 --> 0:56:43.320
<v Speaker 2>But Danielle had and the kids survived and we're fine,

0:56:43.400 --> 0:56:45.959
<v Speaker 2>so I knew she knew what she was doing. This

0:56:46.040 --> 0:56:48.840
<v Speaker 2>is what I tell anybody that's KNOWRMS about having kids.

0:56:50.280 --> 0:56:55.760
<v Speaker 2>Every day people have babies a lot of those people

0:56:56.239 --> 0:57:01.120
<v Speaker 2>are dumber than you, have less resources than you, and

0:57:01.160 --> 0:57:07.840
<v Speaker 2>the kids are fine. It is overwhelming, but then remind yourself,

0:57:08.239 --> 0:57:12.400
<v Speaker 2>literally been going on since the beginning of time. People

0:57:12.440 --> 0:57:18.320
<v Speaker 2>figure it out and there is no instruction manual. And

0:57:18.600 --> 0:57:22.320
<v Speaker 2>my buddy Laslow had great advice when it came to

0:57:22.400 --> 0:57:25.960
<v Speaker 2>potty training, which was never met an adult that just

0:57:26.000 --> 0:57:29.200
<v Speaker 2>peased their pants. They all learn it eventually. Don't stretch

0:57:29.200 --> 0:57:31.520
<v Speaker 2>yourself out about it, So those would be my piece

0:57:31.520 --> 0:57:33.560
<v Speaker 2>of advice is like, just take a deep breath and

0:57:33.600 --> 0:57:35.640
<v Speaker 2>not worry. You just rolled your eyes.

0:57:36.600 --> 0:57:39.080
<v Speaker 3>Just make sure as a man, just make sure that

0:57:39.160 --> 0:57:43.040
<v Speaker 3>you help the woman at all times because she's basically

0:57:43.080 --> 0:57:45.920
<v Speaker 3>gonna take care of everything, but yet you have to

0:57:45.960 --> 0:57:49.360
<v Speaker 3>be there, and you know, there's times we need to

0:57:49.360 --> 0:57:52.360
<v Speaker 3>get rest, and there's times that you need to go

0:57:52.440 --> 0:57:55.000
<v Speaker 3>get the bottle or the or.

0:57:54.880 --> 0:57:58.400
<v Speaker 2>The How helpful was I with Deanna at the beginning?

0:57:58.400 --> 0:57:58.920
<v Speaker 3>You sucked?

0:58:00.160 --> 0:58:03.520
<v Speaker 2>Well, I was in mornings. I remember, you know, you.

0:58:03.560 --> 0:58:05.840
<v Speaker 3>Were having the morning show when you got me pregnant.

0:58:06.480 --> 0:58:08.760
<v Speaker 3>So it was just like, Okay, I have to figure

0:58:08.760 --> 0:58:10.320
<v Speaker 3>out a way where I can help her and do

0:58:10.400 --> 0:58:12.960
<v Speaker 3>my job. And Nick sucked at the beginning It's okay

0:58:13.080 --> 0:58:16.880
<v Speaker 3>because it was the first time I've ever had any

0:58:16.960 --> 0:58:20.240
<v Speaker 3>help when I had a child, So it was okay

0:58:20.320 --> 0:58:24.200
<v Speaker 3>with me. Set the times where I was so exhausted

0:58:24.240 --> 0:58:25.920
<v Speaker 3>and I just had to let you have it.

0:58:26.640 --> 0:58:30.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, don't do the pretend not to hear the

0:58:30.800 --> 0:58:33.880
<v Speaker 2>baby crying. Yeah, so the other person has to do it.

0:58:33.880 --> 0:58:36.720
<v Speaker 3>It was rude. I mean he does that with his

0:58:36.800 --> 0:58:38.480
<v Speaker 3>alarm clock this morning in the morning.

0:58:38.680 --> 0:58:41.480
<v Speaker 2>No, I'm not pretending. I'm actually not hearing it, but

0:58:41.640 --> 0:58:43.960
<v Speaker 2>the baby I would because I had to get up

0:58:44.000 --> 0:58:46.320
<v Speaker 2>at like four point thirty every morning to do radio

0:58:46.360 --> 0:58:50.320
<v Speaker 2>in Houston, and it would be like three forty and

0:58:50.960 --> 0:58:52.600
<v Speaker 2>we'd hear the baby crying, and.

0:58:52.560 --> 0:58:54.960
<v Speaker 3>You'll literally look at your phone and see the times like.

0:58:55.000 --> 0:58:58.919
<v Speaker 2>Uh, I would just try to pretend in here. Uh.

0:58:59.120 --> 0:59:01.800
<v Speaker 2>Jackson Higgin says, can we get proof of life? For

0:59:01.960 --> 0:59:05.920
<v Speaker 2>producer Dan? Oh, you missed it yesterday or Tuesday? One

0:59:05.920 --> 0:59:09.160
<v Speaker 2>of our producers on this show was texting to the

0:59:09.200 --> 0:59:12.680
<v Speaker 2>group chat. He's a big Nuggets fan, trolling me after

0:59:12.840 --> 0:59:18.280
<v Speaker 2>each Lakers win, and I explained, you think it's awesome.

0:59:18.320 --> 0:59:19.680
<v Speaker 2>How do you think I reacted to it?

0:59:20.080 --> 0:59:22.280
<v Speaker 3>You're probably upset, especially at that time.

0:59:22.360 --> 0:59:29.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, like big man. Yeah yeah, I was big

0:59:29.320 --> 0:59:36.560
<v Speaker 2>man all right. So, uh Caleb asks, oh there is

0:59:36.600 --> 0:59:40.120
<v Speaker 2>Oh he's doing it again this? Oh sorry, pardon me.

0:59:41.560 --> 0:59:45.280
<v Speaker 3>The I put something on my story too when Lebron

0:59:45.320 --> 0:59:47.240
<v Speaker 3>had to grab the broom and he says, thank you,

0:59:47.360 --> 0:59:49.400
<v Speaker 3>I put it on my story. I couldn't help it, so.

0:59:49.440 --> 0:59:53.960
<v Speaker 2>Petty, Uh, Caleb says, would you say Jason Tatum and

0:59:54.040 --> 0:59:57.760
<v Speaker 2>Josh Allen's a fair player comparison? Yeah, that's about right.

1:00:00.320 --> 1:00:03.200
<v Speaker 2>I think I think Alan has more wow moments and

1:00:03.240 --> 1:00:07.200
<v Speaker 2>Tatum has fewer what the hell were you thinking? Moments?

1:00:07.360 --> 1:00:09.080
<v Speaker 2>But I think as far as in the hierarchy, it's

1:00:09.080 --> 1:00:15.840
<v Speaker 2>about right. The Suavemente asks, Danielle, you have a great

1:00:15.880 --> 1:00:17.680
<v Speaker 2>sense of style. I want to know if Nick was

1:00:17.720 --> 1:00:19.960
<v Speaker 2>always dripped out or did you teach him?

1:00:20.440 --> 1:00:23.040
<v Speaker 3>I taught him everything he knows when it comes to fashion,

1:00:23.880 --> 1:00:25.160
<v Speaker 3>and he barely knows anything.

1:00:25.200 --> 1:00:29.120
<v Speaker 2>Still, well, what how did I used to dress? Who?

1:00:29.640 --> 1:00:32.120
<v Speaker 3>Nick used to wear? The Loora sweatsuits?

1:00:32.320 --> 1:00:33.000
<v Speaker 2>I still do.

1:00:33.600 --> 1:00:36.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but those were like two sizes too big for

1:00:36.560 --> 1:00:41.480
<v Speaker 3>you and you were a smaller person then, so and

1:00:41.960 --> 1:00:44.000
<v Speaker 3>you guys know that he had the lower fade, but

1:00:44.080 --> 1:00:46.480
<v Speaker 3>yet didn't stay on time with his haircuts. That was

1:00:46.520 --> 1:00:48.080
<v Speaker 3>the reason why I wanted him to grow his hair out,

1:00:48.120 --> 1:00:50.520
<v Speaker 3>because it's just like, if you're not gonna keep your

1:00:50.680 --> 1:00:53.120
<v Speaker 3>your hair faded, then you might as well just let

1:00:53.160 --> 1:00:57.000
<v Speaker 3>it grow out. And uh, what else did you used

1:00:57.000 --> 1:00:58.600
<v Speaker 3>to wear that? I didn't like.

1:00:59.160 --> 1:01:05.720
<v Speaker 2>All of it? I mean she got within two years

1:01:05.720 --> 1:01:09.080
<v Speaker 2>of us being together. Yes, I didn't have a single

1:01:09.120 --> 1:01:12.720
<v Speaker 2>piece of clothing that I had when we got together.

1:01:12.960 --> 1:01:14.480
<v Speaker 3>No, And I don't think you will be where you're

1:01:14.520 --> 1:01:15.960
<v Speaker 3>at if you didn't change your wardrobe.

1:01:16.360 --> 1:01:18.160
<v Speaker 2>You think professionally it's helped me.

1:01:18.240 --> 1:01:19.680
<v Speaker 3>I think it helps you a lot. Yeah.

1:01:20.440 --> 1:01:24.920
<v Speaker 2>Uh, speaking of my wardrobe, cutlass asks who picked your

1:01:25.000 --> 1:01:26.320
<v Speaker 2>suits out? For? First things?

1:01:26.360 --> 1:01:28.200
<v Speaker 3>First, I do every day.

1:01:28.880 --> 1:01:31.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, she works for Fox. She's the stylist.

1:01:31.600 --> 1:01:34.919
<v Speaker 3>She's I've been the stylist since since the show started. Yep,

1:01:35.040 --> 1:01:36.080
<v Speaker 3>I'm not going anywhere.

1:01:36.240 --> 1:01:38.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. No, So she does it. And so yes, what

1:01:38.640 --> 1:01:40.400
<v Speaker 2>do you think of him? But she loves Yeah, I

1:01:40.440 --> 1:01:40.760
<v Speaker 2>love them.

1:01:40.920 --> 1:01:44.680
<v Speaker 3>Why I want him to follow up with it like him?

1:01:44.760 --> 1:01:47.960
<v Speaker 2>No? No, no, I'm sure he likes him. Uh. Also, so

1:01:48.400 --> 1:01:51.920
<v Speaker 2>question for me, how about a trade for Anthony Davis

1:01:51.920 --> 1:01:56.120
<v Speaker 2>for Damian Lillard and signed Draymond for the defense. I

1:01:56.240 --> 1:01:59.960
<v Speaker 2>would not trade Anthony Davis for Damian Lillard. Why wouldn't

1:02:00.080 --> 1:02:02.880
<v Speaker 2>I I like him too, but Anthony. I think Anthony

1:02:03.000 --> 1:02:07.880
<v Speaker 2>Davis is because of his age and his size. I

1:02:07.960 --> 1:02:11.360
<v Speaker 2>think he's more valuable than Dame. Gotcha, that's not That's

1:02:11.400 --> 1:02:16.479
<v Speaker 2>not a trade that I would make. Uh Jake Jack

1:02:16.520 --> 1:02:19.360
<v Speaker 2>Sullivan says, when a team eventually comes back down from

1:02:19.400 --> 1:02:20.720
<v Speaker 2>three to oh, do you think it'd be more about

1:02:20.760 --> 1:02:23.000
<v Speaker 2>the team that wins with the team that loses. It's

1:02:23.000 --> 1:02:25.400
<v Speaker 2>a great question. I think that'll be more an indictment

1:02:25.440 --> 1:02:27.520
<v Speaker 2>on the team. I think it will be remembered more

1:02:27.520 --> 1:02:29.720
<v Speaker 2>about the team that blew it than the team that won.

1:02:30.640 --> 1:02:32.640
<v Speaker 2>Because no team in basketball has ever been down three

1:02:32.640 --> 1:02:34.960
<v Speaker 2>to zero in a series and come all the way back.

1:02:35.040 --> 1:02:37.560
<v Speaker 2>It's happened once in baseball, a handful of times in hockey.

1:02:38.200 --> 1:02:42.800
<v Speaker 2>UH Jose Andres Thule says, which team that did not

1:02:42.920 --> 1:02:45.880
<v Speaker 2>make it to the finals can feel the most confident

1:02:45.920 --> 1:02:52.400
<v Speaker 2>about their future? That's interesting. I ain't the King should

1:02:52.400 --> 1:02:55.080
<v Speaker 2>feel good, but they are a couple steps away from

1:02:55.080 --> 1:02:55.880
<v Speaker 2>the champion.

1:02:55.920 --> 1:02:58.360
<v Speaker 3>I'm really proud of them. Yeah, I'm really proud of

1:02:58.360 --> 1:02:58.640
<v Speaker 3>the King.

1:02:59.680 --> 1:03:03.080
<v Speaker 2>I they should feel good. I think the Bucks shouldn't

1:03:03.160 --> 1:03:06.400
<v Speaker 2>panic for now as long as the new owner is

1:03:06.440 --> 1:03:10.320
<v Speaker 2>not gonna be cheap. And I think the Lakers should

1:03:10.360 --> 1:03:12.960
<v Speaker 2>feel good about the fact that Lebron still has this

1:03:13.120 --> 1:03:16.640
<v Speaker 2>level of playing him. Anthony Davis could stay healthy as

1:03:16.720 --> 1:03:20.800
<v Speaker 2>long as he did, and the emergence of Austin Reeves

1:03:21.720 --> 1:03:26.080
<v Speaker 2>is one of the great stories of the season. I

1:03:26.080 --> 1:03:29.720
<v Speaker 2>think the teams that should be pessimistic or Philly Golden

1:03:29.800 --> 1:03:33.360
<v Speaker 2>State as is. I think those teams have a hard

1:03:33.400 --> 1:03:36.120
<v Speaker 2>time are gonna have a hard time getting to the

1:03:36.160 --> 1:03:40.920
<v Speaker 2>next getting to the next step, and they might have

1:03:40.960 --> 1:03:43.600
<v Speaker 2>to take a step back. All right, Dampo, Yeah, you

1:03:43.640 --> 1:03:47.320
<v Speaker 2>did a great job. I appreciate you. I love you.

1:03:49.240 --> 1:03:53.160
<v Speaker 2>Oh thank you, Dampo. No television show Friday, NASCAR once again,
