Speaker 1: we've had thrills, we've had chills, we've had upsets, we've

20

Speaker 1: day and we still have the final four games left

22
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 1: to go and a very nervous Alex tyshirt. Who's got

23
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: Illinois winning at all? Yet they only lead Penn by

24
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: a point at the fifteen minute mark of the time.

25
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 1: But just remember Fran mccafferteen years in the Big Tan

26
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: at Iowa, knows this squad very well. The s is silent,

27
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: not always if you're actually from there. There's about it's

28
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: about fifty fifty people say, do say Illinois and from Illinois? Yeah? Really, Yeah,

29
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: that doesn't sound great. It's not good, No, it doesn't.

30
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: It doesn't know, eh, but it's okay. It's how you

31
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: know your home. Where are you from? I'm from Illinois? Okay, Hey,

32
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 1: let's quiet down, all the Illinois. Here's this side of us, guys. Okay,

33
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: all right, Which if you get my mom on a

34
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: bit of a rant, eventually a US guess growing up

35
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: comes in and all of a sudden, I'm taking back,

36
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:14,399
Speaker 1: you know, forty five years to my childhood. So where

37
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 1: do we sit right now? NCAA Tournament Illinois leeds Penn seven,

38
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,040

41
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: Kennesaw State, Gonzaga, and as we just saw North Carolina

42
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: out of the NCAA tournament. They did not raise up,

43
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: bounced in overtime by VCU. They did not have Caleb

44
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,919

67
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:48,640

Speaker 1: was dead with the BC Boys. Oh my god, Mike,

69
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: when you could do death rumors like that. Yeah, So

70
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: that's in the first song was I'm Mike Dan, I'm

71
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 1: back from the dead. So Paul and Paul McCarty's been

72
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: dead for how many years now? Yeah? Dad? If you

73
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: play this backwards, it says that Paul is dead. Yeah, Okay.

74
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: Westwood one on the call, Yes, North Carolina blows a

75
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 1: nineteen point lead, they lose an overtime, they miss free throws,

76
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: and Hubert Davis is the number one trending topic on Twitter.

77
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 1: And this is where remember in Goodfellas when Rayleota is

78
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: hoping for help from Paulie for all the stuff, like,

79
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,239
Speaker 1: you know, he's hooked on drugs and jail and everything

80
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,599
Speaker 1: Else's eyes are bugging out and he's into all kinds

81
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: of things, and Paulie looks at him and says, I,

82
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 1: here's money. He gives it like three thousand dollars. After this,

83
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: I gotta turn my back on you. I can't do

84
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: anything else for you. There's nothing I gotta turn my

85
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 1: back on you. Now, I got it. That's kind of

86
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: where I am right now with Hubert Davis, because the

87
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:46,039
Speaker 1: overall emotion right now everywhere of Subert Davis has to

88
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: be fired. I wish I could do something for the guy.

89
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: Because what North Carolina, with fans in this new era

90
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: of college basketball don't understand. Even the blue bloods Duke

91
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 1: North Carolina, Kentucky, John Calipari saw it coming right, Hey,

92
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 1: where would you rather have? Arkansas? And Calipari's future? Kentucky

93
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: and Cali Parry's future. Cali Parry saw it come in.

94
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: Some coaches see it coming. The nil era is a

95
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 1: completely different animal, and it can always get worse. And

96
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: I know that things are about like that, So I say,

97
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: I can't defend Hubert Davis right blew a fifteen point

98
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: lead the national championship game. Blew a fifteen point lead

99
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 1: in the tournament A couple of years ago, went from

100
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: the only preseason number one team to not make the

101
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,559
Speaker 1: tournament a couple of years ago. Here they are now

102
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: going out as a sixth seed. This was at his

103
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 1: best moment. No, he should. He probably figured something out

104
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: down the stretch a little bit more coaching, try to

105
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: stop momentum. Yeah, but he didn't. Let UNC try to

106
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: play out of it. But all that going forward. Here

107
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: they were a six seed coming in. They didn't have

108
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: Caleb Wilson. This was a toss up game. This was

109
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 1: not one of those Hey, it's a you know, Duke

110
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: losing a Siena situation, right, so just you know, there's

111
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:55,119
Speaker 1: nothing I can do because Nil is going to fire

112
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 1: Hubert Davis. They had fourteen million dollars according to most

113
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 1: reports dig dug into to the team this year. That's

114
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: a lot of money. Man, some team, some of the

115
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 1: high profile teams try to make it with seven and eight.

116
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 1: Can't do it, man, can't do it. That's three superstar

117
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: players you're not getting because you don't have that kind

118
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: of NIL money. And this is who fires people. Now,

119
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 1: this is why all the fans that got to get

120
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 1: upset about things. And I thought I could tell you, hey,

121
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: if you want Hubert Davis out. He's gonna be out

122
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: because all the NIL backers are all gonna say, yeah,

123
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 1: not giving you any money if he comes back as

124
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 1: head coach. I've seen us go out in embarrassing fashion

125
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 1: now the last four or five years. Yes, it's not

126
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 1: gotten better since the national title game is first year, Okay,

127
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: I get that, but still the last few years have

128
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: been difficult, and there's so much momentum. It feels like

129
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 1: the program is. You don't want it to enter a

130
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: time of stasis where we're just kind of trying to

131
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: hope against hope that things are gonna get restarted.

132
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 5: Right.

133
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 1: You don't want malaise to set in where, okay, well

134
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 1: North Caroline be back at some point. This is who

135
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 1: fires people. So Hubert Davis is gonna get fired his

136
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: head coach because the NL money people are gonna say yeah,

137
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 1: not for that. But like I say, good luck, because

138
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 1: things can always get worse, especially in this new era

139
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: of college basketball. Always be Syracuse. You can always be hey,

140
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: we're gonna blow what watch We're completely gonna blow getting

141
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 1: Jerry McNamara. Oh, he's gonna get it back. He might

142
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: go to North Carolina. Yeah, we may, Yeah, we may.

143
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: He may have coached too well today to go to Syracuse.

144
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 1: Now it's thirty one and a half point dogs and

145
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: took him to the wire this game two and a

146
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: half point spread in for it because we did the

147
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 1: picks the other day and this was one got right

148
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: with the idea that Wilson was unavailable. He's leaving the

149
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 1: door open to coming back. So this is where the

150
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: nil folks are like, all right, we're gonna have to

151
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: reach into our pockets twice. We gotta keep him. The

152
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: thing with Hubert Davis, he's got a deal that goes

153
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: through twenty nine to thirty. Because you know, you just

154
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: gotta start digging into the details. It's all incentive based

155
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: buy him out, boys, But it's a whole incentive base.

156
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: Like it's not like the average of what they give

157
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 1: him up front is like two to three million dollars

158
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: a year. Everything else is based on achievement in the tournament.

159
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 1: So the buyout will not be prohibitive whatsoever. And if

160
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 1: it's gonna allow you to get maybe keep Caleb Wilson

161
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: another year, keep another one of your cogs in your

162
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: you know front six, Uh, then it's worth every penny

163
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: to go reinvest that now. Should it happen again, things

164
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 1: can always be worse. Is North Carolina ready to Can

165
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: they compete in this new era of college bad? Do

166
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: they go get the right players? All the world changed

167
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,239
Speaker 1: a few years ago in college basketball? Things can always

168
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 1: get worse. But but but this is a case where

169
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:35,839
Speaker 1: there's nothing I can say because they're gonna go back

170
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: and all North Carolin's gonna go. Hey, so I know

171
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 1: we had a disappointing year last year, but you know

172
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: Caleb Wilson might be back. Yeah, is Hubert Davis coming back? Well? Yeah, well,

173
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: you know what, that's not my mind. A new coach then,

174
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 1: then give me a call. And that's what it is

175
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 1: for every school, for every school, it's new coach, Give

176
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: me a call, new coach, Give me a call. That

177
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 1: that's what everywhere everywhere you go, Hey, you got somebody

178
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:58,719
Speaker 1: new in here? Yeah, though, and that happens, give me

179
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 1: a call. It's never going to be again as long

180
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 1: as we still are in the nil era. And you know,

181
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 1: President Trump doesn't sign an executive order saying that's that

182
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: nobod's getting paid anymore. Unless that happens, that's how it's

183
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 1: gonna go. It's never gonna be a case of where

184
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: it's gonna be difficult decision for athletic directors. Do I

185
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 1: give a guy a year? Do I not? I don't

186
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 1: know it's gonna be. Hey, what happened this week? Well,

187
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: guess what Jim's car extravaganza said. His two million dollars

188
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 1: this year isn't coming if we keep the same head coach. Yeah,

189
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: I got the same thing over, I got the same thing. Okay,

190
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 1: we got to make a change now, Like they're the

191
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 1: real power brokers now in college basketball, and I'd love

192
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 1: to give you something different and say, oh, Hubert Davis

193
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 1: should stay, But I've seen enough the last few years

194
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,559
Speaker 1: to know that it doesn't matter because he's going to

195
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 1: get fired. Well, but the point is also that you're

196
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: losing games where you establish monster leads, you lose the game. Today,

197
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 1: You've got a nineteen point lead. You talk about the

198
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 1: Lazarus comment of coming back from the dead, letting them

199
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 1: back in the game has become a hallmark of Hubert

200
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 1: Davis led teams. This isn't a one off, right, This

201
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:04,680
Speaker 1: is multiple NCAA tournaments and ends of your season where

202
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 1: you've got commanding leads based on the roster that you bought,

203
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 1: that you were able to put together. That's all finding good,

204
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: you know, showing up in national title hopes that that's

205
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 1: ancient history. It's a new world order. And so when

206
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: we're looking at the retention and anybody thinks that the

207
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 1: phones aren't ringing every day, your kid, yourselves, right, whether

208
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 1: it's the Joe, Bob's car a lot or whatever other

209
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 1: businesses involve, to the agents, to the families, to the

210
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: players themselves. The fluidity of all of this, there's no

211
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: status like for a you know, static piece in the

212
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 1: course of a game. It's like watching these trading markets

213
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 1: that we're seeing live and in living color. It's being

214
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 1: you know, going trading places where the hell's beaks you

215
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 1: better be active because stuff changes on a dime. I mean,

216
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: really we joked around about it, but Syracuse better hire

217
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: Jerry mcnamaradan night or I'm gonna wake up tomorrow with

218
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 1: him like you know, in powder Blue holding that North

219
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: Carolina hat. Yeah, all right, I succeed. I mean, really,

220
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 1: I have this pit in my stomach all today going

221
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 1: do I really want Siena to beat Duke? Right, I'm

222
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 1: sitting here saying okay, what happens if Sianna beats Duke.

223
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,599
Speaker 1: Siana beats Duke, it's it's the greatest sports upset probably

224
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:20,679
Speaker 1: since the Miracle on ice. But that's how big a

225
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:22,839
Speaker 1: deal he deals. Right, He's probably the last team in

226
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 1: the tournament. You know, as far as as it was

227
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 1: rated versus the overwhelming favorite in the tournament. We've seen

228
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: one sixteen upsets, but not something like this, Right, never

229
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: seen anything like this. I'm like, if they win, If

230
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 1: they win, it's an amazing story. But Syracuse is he's

231
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 1: not gonna go to see it. He won a title

232
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 1: for Syracuse, him and Mellow did it. And I love

233
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 1: Jerry McNamara, and I wanted Jerry McNamara from the beginning, like, oh,

234
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 1: it's gonna be great. But as the game's going, like

235
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:51,319
Speaker 1: he's coaching himself too high for Syracuse because Syracuse is

236
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 1: not a destination. Syracuse is gonna be that school that

237
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 1: he coaches. What he's on his way down. Man, at

238
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: this point, I'm going to show up whatever, whether it's

239
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 1: North Carolina like Jim Harbaugh. Yeah I'm the NFL now,

240
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 1: but yeah, I'll coach Michigan at some point when I

241
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 1: come back Michigan. That's it. I think it's the same

242
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 1: way here because by the end of this weekend, we

243
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: still have a full slate of games tomorrow and a

244
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 1: full weekend of malcontented alums that'll be anxiously watching every

245
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 1: possession down the stretch of some of these close games,

246
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: And even if they succeed and proceed, that doesn't mean

247
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: you avoid the sort of damicles. I mean, just because

248
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,319
Speaker 1: you get out of the first weekend, Man, you got

249
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 1: a long time to sweat before macnamara tells you no.

250
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean here, Here's the thing is that

251
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 1: I'm like, when it's getting down to the end, and

252
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 1: obviously you could tell that Siena is getting We'll have

253
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 1: more in this game coming up in a few minutes,

254
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 1: but like, Sienna is getting tired, and I'm going I'm

255
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 1: oddly okay with this because while I would love to

256
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: be able to hey, because it's a q S Knight, right,

257
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:51,839
Speaker 1: McNamara wins and beats it's a q S Knight. I

258
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,839
Speaker 1: could wear wearing my cues I'm proudly wearing my cues

259
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: gear now tonight. First time I better wear cues gear

260
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: on a non lacrosse day in a while, right, are you?

261
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 1: So he's odd that you're wearing it though your rules

262
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 1: generally if other people are still playing and your team's defeated. No,

263
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 1: Terry McNamara owned the day. He owns the day he

264
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:11,199
Speaker 1: almost upset Duke almost if he had played, if he

265
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,679
Speaker 1: had checked himself into the game, he'll probably have had

266
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 1: a couple of threes, or he'd at least those guys arrest.

267
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 1: I mean really, but I I when they lost him,

268
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 1: like okay, I still feel like he can come to

269
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 1: Syracuse where if they won him, like somebody big is

270
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 1: gonna fire their coach because there's nobody else out there,

271
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 1: there's no real openings, and he's gonna waltz and go yeah,

272
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 1: g mac Ncia hero, that's me, Hey, Syracuse, thanks for coming.

273
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 1: I still love you, guys. I'll come to my Jersey retirement.

274
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 1: But uh yeah, I'll uh I'll see on the way down.

275
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,199
Speaker 1: Can you send me that updated resume? And always sends

276
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 1: is the clip of Shire going yeah, he ouh coached me.

277
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:45,679
Speaker 1: I'll tell you, man, you coach me. They got us,

278
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 1: that's just all. How much did you guys pay him

279
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: for that game against Kansas? Not enough? First half? He

280
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 1: had so many threes. He was so good man as

281
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 1: good as Mellow was. Serious mirror, they don't win that

282
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: game without him, but we don't go anywhere without him.

283
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 1: And then you had two years later when that when

284
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 1: when uh we you know, we barely squeaking the tournament

285
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 1: and Beheim does his press conference going, we wouldn't have

286
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 1: won ten games without him this year, not ten, and

287
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: he starts do not ten, not ten games. I mean,

288
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 1: he's a NCAA the biggiest tournament that he had single

289
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 1: handedly got us in. Two years later after his freshman

290
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 1: year at Syracuse, like, I mean, he's a legend. Man's

291
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 1: a scoring game in twenty five years in the tournament.

292
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 1: But now I'm like, he's gonna go higher than say

293
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 1: not that he I don't mean he's gonna go higher,

294
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 1: like go to Providence because that's how bad Syracuse is.

295
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 1: But I'm like, he's gonna eshew his his his dream

296
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 1: job because now a bigger team is going to He's

297
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 1: a safety school. Now he's gone to Georgetown. Syracuse is

298
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 1: the safety school. When he's on his way down, John,

299
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 1: I was not unhappy when they didn't win, going Okay,

300
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 1: I think we still have a shot at him now

301
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: start writing two letters like You're defrain now into video

302
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 1: games celebrities like Jerry McNamarra or just a good time.

303
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: Global Gaming League is a video game league with celebrity

365
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: friend Mike Harmon. We'll get back into the NCAA Tournament

366
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 1: Day one in a second. However, something is happening that

367
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:29,119
Speaker 1: is saying, ah, yeah, I'll see your Day one of

368
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 1: the NCAA Tournament and I'll raise you. Last night, Luka

369
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 1: Doncic went for forty points in the Lakers win over

370
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 1: the Rockets. Right, big night for him, part of a

371
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 1: seven to eight game run that has been just absolutely unconscious.

372
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 1: Well you figure, eh, he's questionable for tonight against the heat.

373
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 1: Lebron's questionable nearing the end. Lakers have been hot, They've

374
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 1: won seven in a row, their third place in the West. Nope,

375
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 1: they both play tonight. Lebron's having a nice night, right,

376
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 1: Lebron is having a nice night. Seventeen fifteen rebounds, just

377
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 1: hit that triple double. Right, he is now figuring out.

378
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 1: As we said last night, We've said the last few

379
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 1: nights with Lebron sacrificing as long as he's okay sacrificing

380
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 1: and the offensive order is Luca, Austin Reeves, Lebron, the

381
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 1: Lakers can win. And this is what we've seen the

382
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:24,120
Speaker 1: last week. But now something else is happening, and we

383
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 1: got into it a little bit last night, but now

384
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 1: after tonight, I am all in on getting you whatever

385
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 1: you want to get in on Luka Doncicch winning NBA

386
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 1: MVP this year. He has fifty five right now against

387
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 1: the Heat, still a minute left to go in a

388
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 1: game that the Lakers lead by five. Fifty five seven

389
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 1: and three for Luca for the Lakers tonight, because what

390
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,399
Speaker 1: have I said? For another one with Luca? He just

391
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:57,680
Speaker 1: hit another one, all right? So he's having an unbelievable

392
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,719
Speaker 1: run at a time where you you need to have

393
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 1: a big run to win the MVP, right, because really,

394
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 1: what have we seen so far this year? Well? Sga

395
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 1: is the odds on favorite for MVP, mainly because lots

396
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 1: of the guys of big years aren't getting sixty five games, right,

397
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 1: and we're kind of counting the way and two and

398
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,919
Speaker 1: a half weeks ago, remember talking about this going SGA

399
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 1: is gonna win MVP, right because he's he's Battlegie passes,

400
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:23,119
Speaker 1: Will Chamberlain, He's got everything going his favor. Oklahoma City's

401
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,199
Speaker 1: gonna be the number one seed in the in the

402
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,919
Speaker 1: Western Conference for the playoffs. Okay, I get it, I

403
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 1: get it. It's gonna wind up being almost by default,

404
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 1: another great year for him. But now Luca is getting

405
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 1: not just hot, he is absolutely white hot at the

406
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 1: right time for the Lakers where they have now achieved

407
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 1: in the standings. They went from hey, we're a six

408
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: sevent team. Hopefully we can stay out of the play

409
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 1: in round two. Whoa, Now they're the third seed. Right now,

410
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,160
Speaker 1: he's at fifty nine after hitting a big free throw

411
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,119
Speaker 1: there with a minute left to go. Now they're the

412
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 1: third seed and they're keeping this up. They finished third,

413
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 1: which it looks like they're going to because Houston was

414
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 1: third for while. They're falling off right, they're passing the Nuggets,

415
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,479
Speaker 1: they're playing well. The Lakers have figured things out. They

416
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,880
Speaker 1: have figured out how to play offensively. Again, the playoffs

417
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,440
Speaker 1: is gonna be different. So you keep about this conversation

418
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 1: right now. You know the voters are dying to give

419
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 1: Luca MVP, right, We're dying for here, here's a new

420
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,679
Speaker 1: Laker star to win MVP. Yeah maybe next year. No,

421
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 1: that's gonna be this year his last, his run since

422
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 1: in the beginning of this win Street that started with

423
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,640
Speaker 1: the with the win over the Pacers about twelve days ago,

424
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 1: forty four, thirty five, a thirty one point triple double,

425
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:39,400
Speaker 1: fifty one, a thirty point triple double, thirty six, forty

426
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:41,879
Speaker 1: and now he's got fifty nine. I mean, this is

427
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:45,679
Speaker 1: an unbelievable run. This is someone stepping up saying I

428
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,199
Speaker 1: want the MVP, or you can give it to me.

429
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 1: Not just well Sga has just had a level of

430
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:55,120
Speaker 1: excellence that's just incredibly insane. This is much more sexy.

431
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:57,639
Speaker 1: Luca is a more sexy choice, and the step up

432
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 1: what he's been doing so far getting the Lakers back

433
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 1: up to third in the West. Uh yeah, that's not

434
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 1: going to be ignored. And you are gonna see voters

435
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:08,160
Speaker 1: flocking to Luca. You're gonna see odds change in Vegas

436
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,160
Speaker 1: right now. It's going to look like when flights change

437
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 1: at the airport and they show you those old movies

438
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,119
Speaker 1: where Flip flipp Filifland, you see the times going, The

439
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,360
Speaker 1: times are changing and the board is changing. That's what's

440
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:20,399
Speaker 1: happening right now with Luca fifty nine, still with a

441
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:24,160
Speaker 1: minute left to go, he's gonna wind up winning the MVP. Well,

442
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 1: then you'd want to get in on it. Now the

443
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 1: odds have gone come all the way from the beginning

444
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 1: of the month. We were talking about it one hundred

445
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:33,199
Speaker 1: to one hundred and fifty to one. Currently at thirty

446
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:37,440
Speaker 1: five to one. Shake Gildas Alexander still minus fifteen hundred,

447
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 1: were still thirty five to one. That was at the

448
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 1: beginning of the month. It's thirty five right now, it's one.

449
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:44,400
Speaker 1: From one hundred and fifty to one to thirty five

450
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 1: to one. Now it waits, that's still a crime. Wait

451
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 1: ten minutes left, the game's over, it'll be down to

452
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:52,120
Speaker 1: three to one, thirty to one now where it should

453
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:54,440
Speaker 1: have been the whole time. Starting to shift. But it

454
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 1: just shifted in what you just said right there. It

455
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 1: just went from thirty five to one to thirty to one. Yeah,

456
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,919
Speaker 1: we're making Rod's chack eighty nine. We are making odds

457
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 1: change right here on the show. Really, as I'm sitting here,

458
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 1: you are affecting change. People getting away from their investments

459
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:11,120
Speaker 1: of Yo Kitch or Brown or Mitchell, those are all floating.

460
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 1: We've certainly seen with Cad Cunningham, and we'll talk about

461
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 1: him a little bit as the show goes on and

462
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 1: the collapse lung. He was a guy that for a

463
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 1: while also looked like he could be a default contender, right,

464
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:26,399
Speaker 1: Shake gildg just Alexander was missing time. Wehmby had missed

465
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 1: some time. You've got yo kitch right on the verge

466
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 1: based on games he's missed all the way through, Shake Gildess,

467
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 1: Alexander is stabilized. So is at minus fifteen hundred. That

468
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:42,160
Speaker 1: implies ninety four percent when ben Yama is currently second

469
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:45,159
Speaker 1: plus twenty five to one or he's twenty five to one.

470
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:47,920
Speaker 1: Not a lot of room for error there in terms

471
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 1: of games played. But for Luca, I guess when you

472
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,440
Speaker 1: go through the personal struggles as he did, you do

473
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,399
Speaker 1: one of two things. Either tank or you reinvest in

474
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 1: your work and go to work. And certainly over the

475
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:04,199
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks, the biggest thing for the Lakers,

476
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 1: not only are they on a heater, is they're beating

477
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 1: good teams. Right, that's the thing. Like we knew they

478
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 1: could beat Bump, they beat the Knicks. I mean, but

479
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 1: that was the start of it, right, those last couple

480
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:18,160
Speaker 1: of weeks, all of a sudden again, Lebron James still

481
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 1: plays very little defense. That's fine. I don't know that

482
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 1: he plays very I just don't think he's very good

483
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 1: at it. I mean when you say that, like you

484
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 1: say he plays very little defense, makes it seem like, yeah,

485
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:31,680
Speaker 1: his overall interest level, I only do it like maybe

486
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:33,879
Speaker 1: twenty five percent of the Marcus Smartest kind of like

487
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,679
Speaker 1: the guy what's his face McAvoy and split where he's

488
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 1: got to be like two people defensively, that's what they need,

489
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:42,400
Speaker 1: because look at the play a whole lot of defense either.

490
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 1: So I'm pretty sure he's putting on a voice and

491
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 1: wearing a wig and he's coming in here and talking

492
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 1: to me. Okay, I don't.

493
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 4: Know a guy.

494
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 1: Alright, Alright, Hey go back to Edward Norton. He was

495
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,399
Speaker 1: great too. But all of that to say for Luka Dancic,

496
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 1: I mean, the last couple of weeks, it's been another

497
00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 1: worldly performance, night after night, and even to day. We're

498
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 1: talking about the points rolling up and it's against the heat.

499
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 1: So naturally I had to look at the box score

500
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,159
Speaker 1: to make sure it wasn't an inverse of what happened

501
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 1: with bam Adebayo at home a week ago. Yeah, I mean,

502
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 1: look how throws the shoot. You can see it happen. Look,

503
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 1: I mean in the in the minute and a half

504
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 1: we were talking about it, odds went from thirty five

505
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 1: to one to thirty to one. Like we are affecting

506
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,119
Speaker 1: change that we do. We are the show of change.

507
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 1: Here is national platform here at aw about of Fresco

508
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 1: at Sell. I told you weeks ago he was VP,

509
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 1: but they what did I tell you classes that had

510
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:37,919
Speaker 1: a picture of him on the I told you they

511
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,680
Speaker 1: needed to win the Lakers and now going on that

512
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 1: this is gonna be an eight game win streak over good.

513
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 1: This isn't using all years. But you have to win

514
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 1: to be m v P. M v P is not

515
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 1: player of the year. Right if it was player of

516
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 1: the Year, I would say, hey, I'm with you, man, player,

517
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 1: the but player, you gotta lead your team to something.

518
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 1: What is he doing? If that's why I said, that's

519
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:01,400
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Oh my goodness, you said yeah, five people, Yeah,

520
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 1: because three weeks ago it was SGA. Now that when

521
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 1: he leads them from ay if Lucas great, but they're

522
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 1: hovering around six or seven. I can't vote for a

523
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,440
Speaker 1: guy for that six seven six seven six seven, I

524
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 1: can't vote, I can't. No, it still is actually it

525
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:19,160
Speaker 1: still is, yeah, happy okay eight six sevens. It's it's

526
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 1: like it's hit the apex and it's on the way

527
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 1: down before it hits a rebound at some point. But

528
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:25,159
Speaker 1: that's where it is. Like it's it's like it hit

529
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 1: its apex and now it's kind of on the way

530
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 1: like yeah, or like Jalen Brunson from VP, because that'll

531
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:35,160
Speaker 1: come back to But like you to do doing really

532
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 1: well and they but you need you need to lead

533
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 1: your team somewhere to say, hey, look what you did

534
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 1: this year. And this is my whole thing with with

535
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 1: with Nicola Jokic was, yeah, Jokic's best player, But how

536
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 1: many times can win m v P for the the

537
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,199
Speaker 1: Nuggets being a nice fifty win team in the regular season, Right,

538
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 1: that's great, but you gotta lead your team. That is

539
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 1: a sad state of affairs. Though it's like, what's his problem?

540
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 1: Is too good?

541
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 5: So so?

542
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 1: But again, you should be able to lead your team

543
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 1: higher than that. Right. We watched Lebron do that for

544
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:04,360
Speaker 1: years in the Eastern Conference. Okay, we see, we watch

545
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 1: Kobe We watched guys. We can't can't hold the two

546
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 1: things together and say the regular season sucks and it

547
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 1: doesn't matter, and then say you're supposed to win more games. Well,

548
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 1: that's what I mean. If you want to be MVP,

549
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:19,159
Speaker 1: you gotta show me you care. And Lucas showing me here,

550
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:24,159
Speaker 1: right if they But you got to be able to

551
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 1: you gotta be able to say, hey, I can lift

552
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 1: my team up higher than you know. Hey, fifty wins

553
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:29,879
Speaker 1: is nice, right, I mean really, I mean it's not

554
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 1: like the like, what was it four years ago where

555
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:34,639
Speaker 1: where Steph was having the great year and it was

556
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 1: the Warriors were having trouble, like they were hanging around

557
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 1: eight to nine in the play. I can't vote for

558
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,200
Speaker 1: Steph for MVP that year. You gotta show me, you know,

559
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:44,919
Speaker 1: if he's that great, the team would be better. Right,

560
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:47,880
Speaker 1: we've seen guy. All of a sudden, we went from hey,

561
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 1: Jordan is special because he WoT he wills his team higher. Right,

562
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 1: then he get Scottie Pippens all right, and Shaq is

563
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:56,640
Speaker 1: gat he wills his team higher, Kobe wills his team higher,

564
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 1: Tim Duncan wills his team higher. Now it's oh, what

565
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 1: do you want to got to do. Nah, no, you

566
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 1: can't give me. What do you want to gotta do?

567
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,400
Speaker 1: You can't, you gotta give me. Hey, we watch guys

568
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 1: will their teams higher, and it should be easier in

569
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 1: the NBA now with so many teams quitting. So if

570
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 1: you will, you you should be able to come and

571
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 1: do a game and say, hey, I can will my

572
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 1: team pass this team because this team is quit. It

573
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 1: should be easier to do that. But now that Luca's

574
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 1: done this and they're up at the top of the

575
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,200
Speaker 1: Western Conference, too much to ask them to get any

576
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 1: higher than they are now because it's you know, we're

577
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 1: getting down to point where you know, you're getting to

578
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,399
Speaker 1: point if even if you run the table you need

579
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:29,159
Speaker 1: the other team to go under five hundred to get,

580
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 1: you know, even past second. They're not getting to first.

581
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 1: They're still gonna be ten games out. But it doesn't matter.

582
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:35,639
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, the Lakers are third. They have

583
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 1: become in on paper, an NBA title contender, and yeah,

584
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 1: suddenly you watch Luca. He is gonna burst to the

585
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 1: lead and he's gonna wind up winning MVP because the

586
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 1: season doesn't end today. This is gonna be Luca running

587
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 1: like this for the rest of the season. Right, and

588
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 1: when you have big games like SGA is a big

589
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 1: deal when he breaks a record held by Wilt Chamberlain

590
00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 1: on the court, right, on the court, he just dropped.

591
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 1: But Luca answers tonight by just hitting for his sixtieth point. Right,

592
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 1: just hit a free throw for point number sixty second

593
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 1: eyes for his career. I mean, this is Luca is

594
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 1: now has another another few weeks of being able to

595
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 1: do stuff like this. Yeah, this is great. I mean

596
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:15,720
Speaker 1: we go back a month ago, they lost five of

597
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 1: seven games. Yeah, one of those wins against Dallas, one

598
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 1: of those wins against the Clippers.

599
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 6: So like.

600
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 1: To go and full throttle, just say, all right, he's

601
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 1: the obvious MVP. This will be their forty fifth win.

602
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 1: Yeah great, but they're third in the West and they're

603
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 1: on the third and Luca is sexy and there's not

604
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 1: a lot of other guys. Is not sexy fat Everybody

605
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 1: tells me all the time that doesn't matter, doesn't matter

606
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 1: what he looks like. He's sexy, doesn't matter. He's sexier

607
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 1: than SGA. Right, Okay, what has been the two consistent

608
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 1: dominant excellence and he broke a Wilt record on the court. Right,

609
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 1: But the overall perception of him is all the guy

610
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 1: does get to the free throw line. I mean, right

611
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 1: or wrong. That's the optic for SGA. Right, Luca had

612
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 1: the optic of boy, he just keeps complaining about calls.

613
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 1: No one's talking about that anymore. Are they last one? Really? Really?

614
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 1: After the last couple of weeks, it's been look at

615
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 1: what he's doing. It's okay, forget about this bad body language.

616
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 1: Like all of a sudden, now the Lakers are free

617
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 1: and clear of the Tea Wolves and the Rockets by

618
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 1: two games for third place. There's twelve. They're bad left, man,

619
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 1: they're not getting above the Spurs. They're not. They're not

620
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 1: catching seven nights. But if now you get seven games

621
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 1: too much, it's great. Seven games is too much, man,

622
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 1: you got twelve left, seven game, twelve left, that's too much.

623
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 1: That they got to lock into third. You want to

624
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 1: lock into third, and that's where you want to be

625
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 1: for the Lakers because that that that's that's.

626
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 5: He is.

627
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 1: But I'm telling you, if this is where you want

628
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 1: to be, and Luca is seizing the narrative, and that's

629
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 1: a big thing. He is seizing the narrative where up

00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:32,080
Speaker 1: to understand where you are in the pecking order where man,

766
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 1: they they could have went out and got me, but

767
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 1: instead they got Geno Smith. Okay, this is where I am. Now,

768
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 1: this is where I am, this is this is my NFL,

769
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:43,319
Speaker 1: this is my this is what they think of me? Now?

770
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:46,880
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, But based on this, I mean, maybe Carson

771
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:50,400
Speaker 1: Wentz said, please don't get me. I don't want to

772
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:52,359
Speaker 1: go there. I'd rather got a chance to go play

773
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 1: and maybe you win. So he goes back to Minnesota

774
00:37:55,320 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 1: where he'll be third in theory, Kyler Murray JJ McCarthy

775
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:04,839
Speaker 1: the big quarterback derby we're expecting to get. But I'll

776
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:07,279
Speaker 1: give you a big Bowl prediction. Are we really gonna

777
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:11,800
Speaker 1: get that? Or sometime around the draft are the Vikings

778
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 1: gonna trade JJ McCarthy. Okay, Carson Wentz is not coming

779
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:18,480
Speaker 1: in here to be a third string quarterback, right, Why

780
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 1: is he coming up to He's gonna go there to

781
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 1: be a third string quarterback where he could go to

782
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 1: the Jets, be reunited with his favorite offensive coordinator and

783
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 1: maybe get to play because you know it's Gino Smith. No,

784
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:33,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go be the third guy in Minnesota. I'm

785
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 1: gonna play behind McCarthy and Kyler Murray. Or going to

786
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 1: Minnesota and being the number two guy behind Kyler Murray.

787
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 1: Well wait a minute, because now suddenly Kyler might not

788
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:46,440
Speaker 1: be great. I might get a chance to play with

789
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 1: better weapons, better offense in Minnesota than I do in

790
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:52,239
Speaker 1: New York. The only way this happens is if JJ

791
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:56,320
Speaker 1: McCarthy isn't there. I don't believe for a second Carson

792
00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 1: Wentz went back to Minnesota to be the number three quarterback.

793
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:02,719
Speaker 1: As time as each passing day goes on the desire

794
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:06,280
Speaker 1: for Kyler Murray to be the starting quarterback in Minnesota,

795
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 1: how easy it was for him to go meet with them.

796
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:11,719
Speaker 1: I'm there, I'm signed. Minnesota didn't bring him in to

797
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:15,360
Speaker 1: challenge JJ McCarthy. They know we need to move on.

798
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 1: This has not worked, and all we're doing is if

799
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:21,719
Speaker 1: McCarthy starts, we're postponing the future. Murray's gonna start. They

800
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 1: feel really comfortable with that. So what do you do

801
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:29,440
Speaker 1: around the draft when teams start getting a little bit

802
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:33,279
Speaker 1: more quarterback panicky, when they're not there for them or

803
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:35,320
Speaker 1: they don't get a great grade that you think on

804
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:37,920
Speaker 1: someone in a second or third round. Hey, wait a minute,

805
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:41,479
Speaker 1: getting JJ McCarthy is going to be better than getting

806
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 1: anybody else in this draft outside of Fernando Mendoza, because

807
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:47,200
Speaker 1: the guy's played a little bit, maybe he's still good,

808
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:50,319
Speaker 1: needs a change of scenery, whatever it was. But JJ

809
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:53,480
Speaker 1: McCarthy projects better than just about anybody else. You're not

810
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:55,880
Speaker 1: getting anybody else in free agency this year, so you

811
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:59,480
Speaker 1: get to the draft, right around it, right before, right after. Yeah,

812
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 1: I can see this being a deal where McCarthy gets

813
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:04,719
Speaker 1: dealt away to a quarterback needy team. Yeah, one of

814
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 1: those situations like we talked about a lot with the

815
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:12,239
Speaker 1: Dallas Mavericks after the Cooper flag backlash, right before he

816
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:15,560
Speaker 1: shows up, but after Luca gets dealt and in those

817
00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 1: intervening months of all right, here's Anthony Davis, there's Nico Harrison. Well,

818
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:25,320
Speaker 1: Nico eventually just gets fired because it's too much. Davis

819
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:30,920
Speaker 1: gets shipped off, and all ancillary parts and any knowledge

820
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:35,520
Speaker 1: and remembrance they tried to flashy thingy men in blacket

821
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:38,560
Speaker 1: as best they can. Here's Cooper flag, right, he's gonna

822
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 1: solve it all next year. But yeah, but all those

823
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:46,400
Speaker 1: other pieces are now gone. Same thing happens here. Of

824
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:49,600
Speaker 1: if you're in Minnesota, you're Kevin O'Connell, you're the front

825
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:52,480
Speaker 1: office that takes over. You want you don't want it

826
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:55,840
Speaker 1: to be an issue anymore. And JJ McCarthy. So the

827
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 1: suggestions immediately become the how much does Jim Harbaugh still

828
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:01,880
Speaker 1: love him? Will he love him more than Trey Lance?

829
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:05,920
Speaker 1: Get ready? Right around the draft those quarter itchy fingers,

830
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:08,120
Speaker 1: I'm a quarter we need a quarterback. Let's go get

831
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:12,240
Speaker 1: a guy we can develop. Let's develop JJ McCarthy, JJ. JJ.

832
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:14,960
Speaker 1: We get back into the biggest basketball story of the day.

833
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:16,440
Speaker 1: On Day one of March Madness,
