45
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 2: the week to speak of, because all eyes were on

46
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:19,959
Speaker 2: All Star weekend. I mean there was that game where

47
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,399
Speaker 2: the Lakers did face the Jazz and they think something

48
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 2: happened there.

49
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: I can, oh, yeah, what happened? What happened?

50
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 2: You know, you know, you know.

51
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 5: In it?

52
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:38,799
Speaker 4: I mean, the the Jazz faced the Lakers in La

53
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 4: on Luka Doncic's debut night.

54
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, and.

55
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 4: Like there's buzz in the air. Every every seat in

56
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 4: the arena is draped in a suresey that says don Chic.

57
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:59,079
Speaker 4: There's I mean everyone including JJ Reddick, including Will Hardy.

58
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 4: The coaches of the respective teams are talking about how

59
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 4: excited and curious they are about how this is all

60
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 4: going to work out. And it went exactly as you

61
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 4: would have thought it would have gone. And the Lakers

62
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 4: just absolutely wrecked the Utah Jazz. And they played again

63
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 4: a couple of nights later in Utah when the lights

64
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 4: were not as bright and when no one cared about

65
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 4: the game.

66
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 1: And how many jerseys do we see in the in

67
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: the stand?

68
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:27,079
Speaker 4: No? No jerseys?

69
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 1: Mm okay, no Downtrich jerseys. That's and I took that

70
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: as disrespect at right, and every stadium should be as.

71
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 4: The Jazz picked up a win. But like you know,

72
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 4: even the bad teams will oopsie and do some good

73
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 4: things every once in a while. I don't think that

74
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 4: that says anything good or good about the Jazz or

75
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 4: bad about the Lakers, honest, but I think.

76
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 2: It shows it shows size issue. I think at the

77
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 2: very least, that's what I was like. Well, I was

78
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 2: just like Dann Walker Kessler really put up Okay, all right, Walker,

79
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 2: I see you, I sees ya. But I guess that

80
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 2: was right before All Star weekend.

81
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think we all know what the game

82
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: of the week was at All Star Game, and that

83
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: was the cele Celebrity Game. Celebrity Game, Team Bonds versus

84
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: Team Rice went down, not really down to the wire,

85
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: sixty six fifty five, Team Bonds won. Actor Rome Flynn

86
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 1: one MVP. This is my one issue that I want

87
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 1: to I want to call out my one issue with

88
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: the entire NDA All Star weekend. Yes, Rome Flynn is

89
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: part of it. Everything else flawless in my opinion, But

90
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: because the Celebrity Game is not serious basketball, the announcers

91
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: don't announce like they don't do serious announcing. And this

92
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:53,359
Speaker 1: game is where I need announcers more than I have

93
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: ever needed announcers in my entire life. I need you

94
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: to repeatedly tell me who each of these people is,

95
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: over and over. I need you to tell me who

96
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 1: just scored, who has the ball right now, and what

97
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 1: they're famous for. I need like a Carnival Barker. I

98
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: need you, know, like somebody who usually announces the Kentucky

99
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 1: Derby bring him in and yeah, I need you to

100
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: tell me, like also, like what have they averaged an

101
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: other celebrity basketball games? Like I feel like there's so

102
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: much potential in the Celebrity game, like if if I want,

103
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: I want to hear NBA players come in and talk

104
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: about who can actually hoop and like who can't? And yeah,

105
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,159
Speaker 1: and also I want more professional athletes from other sports,

106
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: like it was interesting to see t O out there

107
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 1: and like it was interesting because he was like thicker

108
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: than I would have expected, but no way of knowing

109
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: if that was because of a difference in how like

110
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: NBA versus NFL players are built, or if it's because

111
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: he's a middle aged man. You know, I want to see,

112
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 1: like I want to see more active NFL players or

113
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 1: baseball players or who can actually who Like that's that's

114
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 1: kind of what what I want.

115
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 4: I'm going to be super honest. I spent most of

116
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 4: the time that you were talking just now googling who

117
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 4: Rom Flynn is. And I'm I'm right out of the

118
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 4: back confused because I did not watch the Celebrity All

119
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 4: Star Game, mostly because the last few years, I don't

120
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 4: know who any of these people are and.

121
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,239
Speaker 2: It makes me feel I feel old when I'm.

122
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 4: Like right, but like I'm okay with not knowing who

123
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 4: not me like influencers and taking YouTube people are like

124
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 4: I recognize my age in that issue, right, But I

125
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 4: just google this guy and like it's It's apparently the

126
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 4: the NBA wants to appeal to a younger audience, and

127
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 4: I think they should. But Rome Flynn is best known

128
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,160
Speaker 4: for being on the bold and the beautiful.

129
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, which is.

130
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: How I get away with murder.

131
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 6: So I think we're talking about Liken is like mostly

132
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 6: middle aged two older women.

133
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 4: I would think, know who Room Flynn is. That is

134
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 4: not the NBA's target demographic.

135
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I want to see other athletes play basketball

136
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 1: to see who, like who is actually a good athlete,

137
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: like from other professional sports, and then I want to

138
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: see NBA players play other sports at All Star weekend.

139
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 2: I feel like Luca plays soccer.

140
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I want to see soccer is like a big

141
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: one because they like they all love soccer. And then

142
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: it would be super fun to see soccer players who

143
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 1: in some cases are more famous than anybody in the NBA,

144
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 1: you know, pooping and like see, I don't know, and

145
00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: then all right, my dream a decathlon, cross athletics, sprint,

146
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: mile run, tennis match.

147
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 2: You know.

148
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 4: I mean, these guys all the time are always if

149
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 4: you ask them, like, oh, what would you have done

150
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 4: if you wouldn't have played basketball professionally. Like their answer

151
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 4: is always just another sport.

152
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:20,679
Speaker 2: Yeah right, And so here's the flag football game, here's

153
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 2: the baseball game, here's the soccer and whatever, ping pong

154
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 2: do it. I mean, I'd love to see.

155
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 4: That instead of the Rising Stars team playing an All

156
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:34,079
Speaker 4: Star team, bring in the five best NFL players they

157
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 4: play basketball, play them against an All Star team. Then

158
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 4: take the five best guys who think they're good at

159
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,319
Speaker 4: football from the NBA, put them against one of the

160
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:45,199
Speaker 4: Pro Bowl teams.

161
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 1: Play some flag football like that would be That would

162
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 1: be a blast. Got to see a I throw throw

163
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 1: play quarterback? Ant was I think a quarterback? Maybe?

164
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 2: Yeah? Okay, well anyway, so look, we had the Celebrity Game,

165
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 2: we had the HBCU Classic, Tuskegee defeated more House. Then

166
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 2: there was the Rising Stars Challenge where teams Team Richmond

167
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 2: was the one that got to play in Sunday's games

168
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:23,679
Speaker 2: against the All Star squads. Then there was the Skills Contest.

169
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,119
Speaker 2: Bit of hacking going on, a bit of entering the matrix,

170
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 2: changing the code, trying to get an advantage, where Chris

171
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 2: Paul and Victor we Women Yama were disqualified because they

172
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 2: were basically like I think, I think we got a

173
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 2: better score if we just forego the shooting part completely.

174
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 1: Three of their shots were in the air at the

175
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: same time. Yeah, like just like it was more aggressive.

176
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: It was like the spray shot on like contra the

177
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 1: you know, like a good timely reference to the last

178
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: video game that I played in nineteen Economy Classic.

179
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 2: Every one, raise your ARP cards in the air and

180
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 2: show us that you still remember the days. Then the

181
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 2: three point contest that was Tyler Hero came away with

182
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,559
Speaker 2: that one didn't. The score wasn't like it wasn't like

183
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 2: an all time performance though. It was just kind of

184
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 2: your standard three point contest and its records being broken

185
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 2: and his strong suit.

186
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 1: Like I think if Tyler Hero is not like a

187
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 1: three point specialist, I think of it as when I

188
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 1: picture Tyler like the quintessential Tyler Hero play, I picture

189
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 1: him like getting getting to his spot when in the

190
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 1: mid range more so than like being a three point shooter.

191
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,959
Speaker 1: So he showed me something out there, guys, he showed

192
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 1: me something in the wards of Shacky.

193
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:45,199
Speaker 2: You weren't familiar with his game.

194
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 1: I guess that's right. I guess that's right.

195
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 2: And then the Dunk Contest, Mac McClung won again, third

196
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 2: year in the row. Now, this is what's interesting. This

197
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 2: inspired the kind of players that I think mini fans

198
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 2: want to see in the dunk contest. To say something

199
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 2: like John Moran was tweeting, It's like he's like, eh,

200
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 2: maybe I have to go look, yes please, yes, yes,

201
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 2: that would have been nice. On the twenty fifth anniversary

202
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 2: of Vince Carter's just out of this world performance in

203
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 2: the dunk contest, that would have been cool if you

204
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 2: were there this year. Job And then he challenged Zach

205
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 2: Lavine Aaron Gordon and look, but man, you know, just

206
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 2: for posterity, you know, I think I think that.

207
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 1: Was watching recaps of like past dunk contests and him

208
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 1: getting robbed both those times was uh yeah, I was.

209
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 1: I forgot how badly he got robbed both times, not

210
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 1: robed like the person who won was good in both cases.

211
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: But I don't think he's doing a dunk contest anymore,

212
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: right in a new phase of his career.

213
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, he also has an ARP card.

214
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly, because he's twenty nine.

215
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's ancient. Might as well be in a bodybag.

216
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 1: That's right.

217
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 2: They don't even service those key as he jumped over,

218
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 2: and then Jannis also said he would do it if

219
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 2: John does. I was like, okay, well, you know, like

220
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 2: what about Anthony.

221
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 1: Edwards in the room at all? Jalen Green, great call

222
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 1: by Jabbari. I mean one of the Thompson brothers would

223
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:19,439
Speaker 1: be great.

224
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 3: You know.

225
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 1: I'm and uh the other guy, Detroit guy, author.

226
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 2: Trent Thompson.

227
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 1: Do you remember him?

228
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, used to like he used to fight under

229
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:40,199
Speaker 2: kids Cincinnati back in the day. But then we got

230
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 2: to the final All Star Game tournament. Now this is

231
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 2: where I was a little bit confused. I was like, wait,

232
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 2: is Ken is is Chuck's team World All Stars? And

233
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 2: I waited what was that? Was that? Charles Barkley's team

234
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 2: that had that? When I was like, wait, what is

235
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 2: Trey Young from foreign right?

236
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 4: Tre Young? Donovan Mitchell? They had a few just guys

237
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 4: that are like in the US.

238
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 2: Right right right? Yeah? Yeah. But then in my like

239
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 2: very rigid mind, I was like, no, surely there must

240
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 2: be something I don't know about them if they're playing

241
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 2: on this team.

242
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 1: Uh, you've been saying for a long time, you want

243
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:19,559
Speaker 1: to see Trey Young's birth certificate.

244
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 2: I have been saying that. I have been saying that.

245
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 4: Let me ask you guys a question. Can you tell

246
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 4: me who the coaches were of those teams?

247
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 1: Oh? Sure, Kenny Atkinson Mm hmm, Kenny.

248
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 4: No, but like of all the teams, of all the teams,

249
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 4: Kenny Atkinson is a coach, and which teams were they coaching?

250
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's a problem, right, yeah.

251
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 4: Because, like I mean, in the past, I feel like

252
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 4: All Star has been not only shine for the players,

253
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 4: but also like the leading coaches in the league get

254
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 4: some shine too. And then we started adding like the

255
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 4: te t GM names to every team also, and like

256
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 4: even the even the broadcasters didn't know that like Chuck

257
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:13,319
Speaker 4: and Shack weren't the coaches of those teams, right, it

258
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 4: was that was very confusing.

259
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 2: That is true because I remember just as a kid,

260
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 2: I'm like, I knew who Chuck Daily was because he

261
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 2: was coaching an All Star team. Even though with my

262
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 2: very Laker centric kid, Brandon, I'm like, oh, this is

263
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 2: one of the best coaches of all time. Okay, All

264
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 2: Star Game. I'm listening. Thank you for that information, right,

265
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 2: that makes sense? Yeah, I don't think.

266
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 4: I even saw Mark Dagnall on the broadcast one time.

267
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 1: And you know, Mark Dagnell has a very ignorable, easy

268
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 1: to ignore sign presence, and that is what we love

269
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 1: about him. Yeah, you could have showed me a picture

270
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: of Kenny Atkinson, been like, for instance, they didn't even

271
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 1: show Mark Degnell. I've been like yeah, at and yeah,

272
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 1: I'm almost a lot of coaches famously.

273
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 4: Right to Myles's point though, like it was confusing to

274
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 4: be like, oh, these are the Global All Stars featuring

275
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 4: you know, like Wemby and Jokic and then also Donovan

276
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 4: Mitchell and.

277
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 2: And I'm like, okay, Shay, I get that. And then

278
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 2: I'm like try Kat. I'm like because he's Dominican, right,

279
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 2: And like is that I was like actually think, I'm like, oh,

280
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 2: that's why Cat's there because he's Dominican. Oh right, So

281
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 2: there's I see what's going on. And then I remember

282
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 2: seeing like Wikipedia article about Trey Young winning like a

283
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 2: FIBA tournament in Chile, like at like at a U

284
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 2: seventeen level, and I remember like, sure, did he play

285
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 2: for the Chilean U seventeen I was like play for

286
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 2: Team USA at the Chilean FEVA tournament anyway, So yeah,

287
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 2: all that to say, it was a little bit confusing,

288
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 2: but then the Shacks team the Team Ogs pulled it

289
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 2: off pretty convincingly in that last game with you know, like,

290
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 2: I think that a lot of Steph Curry had a

291
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 2: lot of input right on the format. I was reading

292
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 2: about this and how to make it better. And I

293
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 2: think one thing though, that they're almost on with these

294
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 2: global stars thing is sort of what a lot of

295
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 2: people have been talking about. Last week's guest es Barahani

296
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 2: was also saying, like, just like in other sports right now,

297
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 2: they're saying they're doing Team USA VERSUS because now there's

298
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 2: such an influx of international players, just let's do it

299
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 2: like that. Let's give them.

300
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 1: Let's give them World v.

301
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 2: Team USA a light a light Olympics type rematch or

302
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 2: something like that. I felt like that would be a

303
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 2: pretty simple way because I think I think what would

304
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 2: happen is the international players would probably dust the US

305
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 2: players and then thus kicking off like a rivalry in

306
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 2: the following games. Because I just think that's kind of

307
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 2: that feels like where the energy is right now.

308
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 1: I'm seeing three fights in the first nine seconds like that.

309
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 1: The hockey match that's Thursday, that's Thursday.

310
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, I think I mean there's

311
00:16:56,360 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 4: there's a lot of I think that the NBA is

312
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 4: by the fact that they have even tried to change

313
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:06,400
Speaker 4: the format so many times, like there's an acknowledgment that

314
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 4: something needs to happen, right, And so that's good that

315
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 4: they know that they that we want to make things better.

316
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 4: And I think, like above all, a lot of people

317
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 4: were okay with the format and thought that there was

318
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:25,880
Speaker 4: a little bit of competitive play, especially with the international players. Honestly, Yeah,

319
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,680
Speaker 4: the stoppages is what the problem was, right.

320
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like that's and that was one thing you missed

321
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,119
Speaker 2: sort of like with the broadcast, but then really putting

322
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 2: yourself like in the arena at the time too. It

323
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,439
Speaker 2: feels like there's like, oh, there's a musical performance and

324
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 2: now this other presentation and now competitive basketball for a

325
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,679
Speaker 2: little bit, right, and then y'all go take about an

326
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 2: hour break and then we'll be right back.

327
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the musical performances should be by the players.

328
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 1: More musical performances. That's part of the competition, that's part

329
00:17:56,080 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 1: of the decathlon in here in a lot of ideas

330
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 1: for how to fix it, and they are bad a

331
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:11,160
Speaker 1: lot of the ideas that are being proposed by your ringers,

332
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 1: your bill's simmon are I don't know, I'm just like, guys,

333
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 1: this doesn't sound any any better necessarily.

334
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 2: But do you do you think it's like a generational thing,

335
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,879
Speaker 2: like right now, the current crop of stars are just

336
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 2: sort of so not invested in the idea anymore that

337
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:33,119
Speaker 2: it that maybe these younger players can take up the

338
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 2: mantle to sort of inject some competitive and competitive like

339
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 2: sort of edge to it, or because I think a

340
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 2: lot of people are like, would be great if if

341
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 2: the players cared right like sure? Now? Is that born

342
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 2: out of like the momentum that's being brought in from

343
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 2: a lot of the players that have been in the

344
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 2: league for a minute and their feelings towards it, versus

345
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 2: like more enthusiastic, wide eyed younger players who kind of

346
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 2: feel like, oh, this might be a moment for me

347
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,679
Speaker 2: to take my claim, And do you emphasize that because

348
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 2: there's more excitement there at the you know, dis to

349
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 2: the dismay of the players who believe like, well, there's

350
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 2: an All Star game, I should be in it certainly,

351
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 2: like I don't know, I don't know what because I

352
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 2: feel like the most elegant fix obviously is like, well,

353
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 2: we just want to see them be as competitive as possible.

354
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,120
Speaker 2: But there's issues with a lot of them obviously thinking

355
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 2: about the second half of the season wanting to be

356
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 2: really competitive for that. This can be like another game

357
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 2: on top of many games when players are already managing their

358
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,680
Speaker 2: look like I'm I don't know if there's a silver

359
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 2: bullet that's Onlike everyone's saying, that's why, like all the

360
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 2: ideas are coming from like left Like it feels like

361
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 2: very left field, sort of like fantasy ideas.

362
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 1: Well.

363
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 4: I think that like a lot of the reason that

364
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 4: some of these things haven't worked out in the past

365
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 4: is that the ideas are coming from the wrong people, right. So,

366
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 4: like if you take like a bunch of league office

367
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 4: people or even corporate sponsorship people and you try to

368
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,919
Speaker 4: put together like these fun and interesting ideas, like what

369
00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:01,199
Speaker 4: you're missing is that the answer everyone wants is like,

370
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 4: what's going to make this most competitive and engaging m

371
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:07,439
Speaker 4: And so there really needs to be like a summit

372
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 4: of like let's get Wemby and Jaron Jackson Junior, who

373
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:13,360
Speaker 4: were like the most competitive guys on the floor, who

374
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 4: were actually taking it seriously. I felt like, let's get

375
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 4: the guys who are actually going to be in All

376
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 4: Star games, like get them all together and like talk

377
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:22,879
Speaker 4: to them in the off season and be like, what

378
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 4: do you guys want? Like tell us what you actually

379
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 4: want and try to implement those things because it feels

380
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 4: like that for years and years it's been talked about,

381
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 4: like how can we approve this? And like I don't

382
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 4: I have never heard that. There's been like a conversation

383
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,399
Speaker 4: between the league office and the players involved.

384
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:43,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's not who you want to listen to. You

385
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 1: want to listen to ge.

386
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, Like and nobody wants to get a trophy

387
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:53,399
Speaker 4: right from like some random like CEO person that like

388
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 4: they've never heard of.

389
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 1: Like, those are what I look forward to. That's actually

390
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,639
Speaker 1: my that's the thing, the trophy presentation brought to you

391
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:03,640
Speaker 1: by very nervous person from the C suite. Yeah, that's

392
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 1: actually the high I have trading cars cars, those moments

393
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,400
Speaker 1: on them that me and my friends trade back and forth.

394
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:14,880
Speaker 2: Dude, I have a Larry Moore State Farm Insurance rookie car. Dude,

395
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 2: you know how much that's worse?

396
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 1: I will say? All right, so I do like the

397
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 1: week after the All Star Game, because it's fun to

398
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 1: talk about all the different ideas for fixing it, because

399
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 1: hope springs eternal and like this is like and because

400
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,880
Speaker 1: the NBA seems like they're open to fun, like new

401
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: fun ideas like that.

402
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 2: You know.

403
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 1: My biggest issue with the tone and just like how

404
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 1: people talk about this is like everyone's everyone's like it's

405
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:47,399
Speaker 1: like a terminal illness. They're like discussing with the All Staria.

406
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 1: It's like the All Star Game, we tried something different

407
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 1: and fun, and like some people didn't like the rhythm

408
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 1: of the show. But I will say the best idea

409
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,159
Speaker 1: I've heard is the one we've already mentioned is the

410
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:03,640
Speaker 1: US versus the World old Team World, because it would

411
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 1: give the US an opportunity to be the underdogs in

412
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:11,359
Speaker 1: a in a thing and we're still talking about that

413
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 1: hockey match from the Olympics, like that, the the US

414
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:18,880
Speaker 1: winning as underdogs, like you will go down in history,

415
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 1: my friend, if you can. And the US would be

416
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 1: underdogs like next year and would only get further and

417
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:31,159
Speaker 1: further under you know, like they I feel like they

418
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:37,440
Speaker 1: would be definitely not the favorite for years into the future.

419
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 1: So that I feel like that would be fun. You

420
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 1: have like some sort of pride bragging rights, and I

421
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:46,719
Speaker 1: think there would be a clear favorite. But you know,

422
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,360
Speaker 1: I just I think they'd need to figure out how

423
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:54,439
Speaker 1: to incorporate Kias into that idea and and we'll be

424
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 1: we'll be on board. That was cool. Like as much

425
00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 1: as we're joking about the sponsorship, that was an amazing

426
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 1: dunk that.

427
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,360
Speaker 2: I can't believe Mac mcclunk can jump that high. It's

428
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 2: still I'm like, yeah, I mean about it because oh,

429
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:11,680
Speaker 2: because he's white.

430
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you're talking. Yeah, yeah, that's from uh Carl

431
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 1: Carl Tarts.

432
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 2: Again. I think bring we need more nationalism, we need

433
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 2: more jingleism. So let's get us versus the world. You

434
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 2: got something there, Oh, but there was a few I

435
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 2: do There is one thing like an aspect like I

436
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 2: love obviously three pointers, dunks, that's all great, But I

437
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 2: wish there was some kind of competition around dribbling, like

438
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 2: specifically like twisting somebody up on defense, Like if there

439
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 2: is a way, Now, I don't know if you because

440
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:52,919
Speaker 2: I feel like it would mean be like James Harden

441
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 2: versus Indris Elbow or something people will tune in but

442
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 2: I feel like hard you just.

443
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:01,159
Speaker 1: Do a one on one tournament where it's like a

444
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:04,120
Speaker 1: breakaway you know, like breakaway drills where you're like having

445
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 1: to get back on defense and people are attacking and

446
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 1: you're having to stop them. Like, then you'll get the

447
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,679
Speaker 1: dynamic you're looking for. Like, I don't know if it

448
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 1: it might be too dangerous for people.

449
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:17,920
Speaker 2: And I was like, I don't mind if Idris Elba

450
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 2: turns an ankle, because he can do his acting, you

451
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:22,879
Speaker 2: know what I mean, But if James Harden hits him

452
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 2: with that, heasy, I do want to see somebody on skates,

453
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 2: And I feel.

454
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:29,639
Speaker 4: Like you can inclliporate something like that into the skills competition, right, like,

455
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 4: because the skills Competition, I mean, honestly, the only reason

456
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:35,680
Speaker 4: that anybody's even talking about it this week is because

457
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 4: like Wimby and Chris Paul like tried to hack it

458
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,880
Speaker 4: right and so like that is probably the most forgettable

459
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 4: of the events. But if you added, like one of

460
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:49,159
Speaker 4: the components of the skills competition is like you have

461
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 4: to cross over and get pasted one of the guys

462
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 4: from the other team.

463
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:55,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, you have to go past like the person

464
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 1: you're going against on the skills side gets to choose

465
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:01,360
Speaker 1: the teammate who's like they're fender right, you.

466
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:05,359
Speaker 2: Know, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, Okay, I like that designated celebrity.

467
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 2: I'm like, all right, poly he.

468
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:08,360
Speaker 1: Just wants to see.

469
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 2: Get dun.

470
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:15,680
Speaker 1: Weird Sarah last year, last week, we were talking about

471
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:19,120
Speaker 1: the trade deadline, and he kept pitching Idris Elbow get

472
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 1: in the game so he could get twisted.

473
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 2: Up, twisted up. I just want to see him get

474
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 2: twisted up, you know what I mean.

475
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 4: Listen, I love you solid to man.

476
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 5: But you know, I just want to get twisted see

477
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 5: the guy on skates. Okay, put him on skates, James

478
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:38,679
Speaker 5: sp weirdly specific fetish.

479
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 1: All right. One of the ideas that has come up repeatedly, actually,

480
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 1: let's take a break. We've gone way too long. Shoot,

481
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 1: Uh take a quick break. We'll come back. We'll finish

482
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 1: talking about the All Star again. We'll be right back

483
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:03,400
Speaker 1: and we're back. And one of the ideas that has

484
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:05,719
Speaker 1: been floated is one on one, like having a one

485
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 1: on one which you know, whether it be check it

486
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,439
Speaker 1: up at the top of the key or you know,

487
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 1: something where you get into like transition, which might be

488
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 1: a little bit more fun. I feel like everybody needs

489
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 1: to say who their pick is, right, like it's a

490
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 1: it's a fun conversation.

491
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah.

492
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 1: I mean if you're doing offense and defense, like I

493
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 1: think my pick would have to be Wemby because I

494
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:34,359
Speaker 1: just don't know who's getting shots off against him. But

495
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 1: oh yeah yeah, especially if it's in the half court.

496
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, I think that that's that feels

497
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 2: like a bit of a like a cheat code for

498
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 2: that kind of specific yeah version. Actually, yeah, I do

499
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:47,400
Speaker 2: want to I do want to see that though, too.

500
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:49,920
Speaker 2: I just want to see how just easily he would be, like, man,

501
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 2: this is what it's like just playing one on one

502
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 2: with me.

503
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 4: Uh, I'd take I'd take Kyrie and something like that.

504
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, Kyrie is a great yeah yeah yeah. I had

505
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:01,919
Speaker 1: Kyrie Wemby and Death as an outsider just because like

506
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:05,919
Speaker 1: he could just you know, get hot and make threes

507
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 1: threes on threes on threes.

508
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,440
Speaker 2: Right right and be the twenty four hour fitness is

509
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:11,679
Speaker 2: worst nightmare player.

510
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:13,879
Speaker 1: It just doesn't even.

511
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 2: Dribble, just can shoot it every time you mixed it.

512
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 2: It's not even running, yeah for sure, I mean one

513
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 2: on one, I guess that's the other thing. I think

514
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 2: there's also something to like the marketing of it, because

515
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 2: do you remember, like, hey, now I'm I'm gonna take

516
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 2: you all into a time machine with me. Remember in

517
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 2: the nineteen ninety two Barcelona Olympics, there was Dan versus Dave,

518
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:35,440
Speaker 2: these two decathletes, and there was, yeah, an entire year

519
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 2: long thing that they were like Dan versus Dave. I

520
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 2: think just building it up on sign Maybe that's dangerous

521
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:43,680
Speaker 2: to build it up like that, but I would never

522
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 2: gone before one of them didn't make the other one

523
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,440
Speaker 2: came in like ten to not do well at all.

524
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 4: Uh.

525
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like I just missed that. I think

526
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 2: I just missed that kind.

527
00:27:56,400 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 1: Of ninetieth marketing demon that decathlon would be super fun,

528
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 1: like where they're competing at different not not the actual

529
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:10,399
Speaker 1: like skiing, shooting is in there for some reason.

530
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:15,360
Speaker 2: Maybe at the same city city in Florida. There might

531
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 2: be some jet skiing, some water skiing.

532
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're in San Francisco, So like sailing is one

533
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:21,959
Speaker 4: of them sailing?

534
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 2: Yes, exactly? Uh, displacing locals? Okay, well, yeah, so we'll

535
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 2: see next year. Uh is it here next year? Six?

536
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 1: No clue, I believe it is, right.

537
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, right, because it is into it. Yeah, and

538
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 2: I'm into it, you know what I mean, as long

539
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 2: as it's here. But yeah, that'll be, that'll be.

540
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 1: The editor pointed out that I failed to mention the

541
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 1: sport that would be the most fun to watch NBA

542
00:28:54,440 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 1: players competing, and then that is of course dressage. Yeah.

543
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 1: Are they on a hobby horse dancing horses?

544
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, take a question. That would be wild because

545
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,239
Speaker 2: you've seen people do the hobby horse competition where they

546
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 2: had the little stick horse between their legs and then

547
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 2: they jump over the things. Yeah, Brian had to. He

548
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 2: had to unmute himself to get it.

549
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 1: Brian is very sick. He's like over on his couch

550
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 1: with a blanket wrapped around and he just like crawled

551
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 1: across his living room to get to the thing just

552
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 1: to tight dressage and then go.

553
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 2: On a hobby horse doing little gallops trotting. All right,

554
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 2: well we'll see. Hey, these are all suggestions. We are

555
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 2: open to them being used.

556
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 1: Those are all good ideas. Yeah, I'm just saying these

557
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 1: are all good ideas.

558
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, yes, there are no bad ideas.

559
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 2: No. Never, that's what never, never ever, never.

560
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 1: Hitting a baseball, just seeing who can hit a baseball.

561
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 1: He's got the weirdest swing.

562
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 4: Take them to the batting cages.

563
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, take them to the batting cage, Like I don't

564
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Like some he could actually like

565
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 1: hit a like curveball, that would be incredible.

566
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, bet in.

567
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 4: Cages, they go to top golf, then they come back in that.

568
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 1: It's it is like, these are the best athletes in

569
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 1: the world. Putting them in positions to do athletic things

570
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 1: is my thing. Like that's that's what I want to see,

571
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 1: you know, and that I feel like that would be cool.

572
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:25,480
Speaker 1: One of them should be rhythmic gymnastics. I feel like,

573
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 1: you know.

574
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 2: Put that in the doc. We gotta we got to google.

575
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 4: Jared McCain is winning a rhythmic gymnastics. Oh yeah, beautiful.

576
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 1: Hella jazz Sarah, Oh they're bad. Okay, Moving on around

577
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 1: the league. Are you so Kessler, Sexton Collins each survive

578
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 1: the trade deadline? Put them on your Danny Ainge hat

579
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 1: for me for a second.

580
00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 2: Oh you really have one with Danny Ainge's face.

581
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 4: It it's just a chapotlit hat.

582
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, how how are we feeling? You know? We're

583
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 1: a couple of years into the experiment to the age

584
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 1: of age, the age sons as it's all as being

585
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 1: called everywhere. How are we feeling? Is it all worth

586
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 1: it when you get Cooper Flag to Salt Lake City

587
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 1: next year?

588
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 5: Yeah?

589
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 4: I mean that's the thing, right, is like you don't

590
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 4: know if it's worth it yet until this draft and

591
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 4: potentially the twenty twenty six draft, right, And so if

592
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 4: you if you come out of this one and you

593
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 4: don't have Cooper or Dylan Harper, probably not feeling that

594
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 4: great because the last couple of years of drafts have

595
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 4: not produced like a real star for the Jazz, Like

596
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 4: Kiante George. He was in the Rising Stars game. That's fine,

597
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 4: but like he hasn't really been that great and he

598
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 4: looks like he's more of like a bench player if anything.

599
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 4: Taylor Hendricks broke his leg, so we have to wait

600
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 4: until that heels to see if he's gonna be good.

601
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 4: Isaiah Collier out of USC from last season, Cody Williams,

602
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 4: Kyle Philipalski, jury still out on those guys. So it's

603
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 4: just like a lot of waiting to see, like are

604
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 4: these young guys going to actually develop into maybe what

605
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:18,239
Speaker 4: could be role players. But you really really hope you're

606
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 4: gonna get Cooper this year, right, Like that's the big hope.

607
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 4: And then if even if you do, next season draft

608
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 4: is going to be so good too, And the Jazz

609
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 4: don't ow oh their pick to anyone there, you know,

610
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 4: the protections from OKAC are gone on their like all

611
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 4: the draft stuff that they were dealing with there, So

612
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 4: like they they're gonna want to lose games again next year,

613
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 4: Like that's they're going to want to be high draft

614
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 4: picks twenty twenty five and twenty twenty six. And so

615
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 4: I keep trying to tell Jazz fans to like temper

616
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 4: expectations because this is not the only down year the

617
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 4: Jazz are going to have.

618
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, then maybe, well I think we're all rooting for

619
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 1: Danny Ainge. I think the league just you know, we

620
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 1: want to see some good things happen for that guy.

621
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, sho, show Sarah your ange gent Aliens shirt

622
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 2: that you made. It's really cool.

623
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 1: All right, Should we take a look around the league please?

624
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 1: Oh all right, I want to talk Luca. He's been

625
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 1: a Laker for a couple of weeks now, only two

626
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 1: wins to show for no, Uh, what what do you think, Sarah,

627
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:27,920
Speaker 1: There's the Lakers ceiling is as currently constructed, but obviously

628
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 1: once Luca really gets going.

629
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I think right, like, Luca and Lebron

630
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 4: James are probably two of the players in the NBA

631
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 4: that have the real ability to make everyone, every single

632
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 4: player on their team better, right, Like, And that's always

633
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 4: kind of a cliche that people talk about with like

634
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 4: the most elite players in the league, is that they

635
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 4: make their teammates better. But these are two guys that

636
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 4: it's actually real they do. And so I don't think

637
00:33:56,360 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 4: that it's out of the rama possibility that like the

638
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 4: Lakers surge coming up because with without Luca, and if

639
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 4: it's just Lebron James, because he's aging, like, right, we

640
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:12,759
Speaker 4: all still believe in Lebron James, but not as we

641
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:15,920
Speaker 4: did ten years ago, right, And so I think that

642
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:22,239
Speaker 4: with Luca, you inject more of that make everyone better ability,

643
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:26,359
Speaker 4: And so guys like Ruy Hachimura are going to absolutely

644
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:29,880
Speaker 4: feast because of that. Like in that one game against

645
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 4: the Jazz on Luca's debut night, Luca didn't I think

646
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 4: he played like twenty minutes something like that, Like and

647
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 4: it wasn't even that hard. You have guys like Ruy

648
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 4: I forget who else for the Lakers had a big

649
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:42,439
Speaker 4: night that night. But it's like you have a couple

650
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 4: of guys who combined maybe average eighteen points for the Lakers,

651
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 4: and then you add Luca and it's like, combined they're

652
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:52,719
Speaker 4: averaging thirty points. And that's just because the defensive gravity

653
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:55,239
Speaker 4: is going to follow them so much that it just

654
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:57,400
Speaker 4: opens everybody else up, and like the lobs are going

655
00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 4: to be crazy, and so I just I really believe

656
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:04,719
Speaker 4: that even if the roster is as constructed, that they

657
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 4: have way more potential than they did before.

658
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's right. What a little slow to

659
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 1: get going, You're well, he's been a little slow to

660
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 1: get going as a fan of you know whose primary

661
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:19,880
Speaker 1: rooting interest is the field versus the Celtics. Just every

662
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:22,759
Speaker 1: every team in the league that's not the Celtics up

663
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:26,600
Speaker 1: watching his box scores from AFAR being like, is this

664
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 1: guy dud? They get eleven from this Luke guy? I mean,

665
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:34,239
Speaker 1: something about this trade doesn't make sense. Maybe it was

666
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 1: that maybe they they Luca was the beneficiary of some

667
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 1: some manner of Witch's curse, and and it's worn off

668
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 1: and only only the Mavericks. Now, No, I was just curious, like,

669
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:50,839
Speaker 1: is he slow typically kind of slow to build momentum

670
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:53,120
Speaker 1: when he's coming back from an injury. Is that kind

671
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 1: of what we see in Luca Luker?

672
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:57,920
Speaker 4: I think everyone is right. There's no one that just

673
00:35:57,960 --> 00:35:59,800
Speaker 4: like pops out from being gone for a month and

674
00:35:59,880 --> 00:36:02,439
Speaker 4: is perfect right away, especially if you, at the same

675
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:04,520
Speaker 4: time switch them to a new team after being on

676
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:05,720
Speaker 4: the same team for many years.

677
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:09,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, I'll give him another game or two.

678
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:11,000
Speaker 1: I say trade him.

679
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:13,280
Speaker 4: Jackson Hayes, that's the guy.

680
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:14,440
Speaker 1: A big game, you're right, Yeah.

681
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:16,880
Speaker 4: Ruy Hotchmoor and Jackson Hayes they combined for like eighteen

682
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 4: points a game on average. They had like thirty three

683
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:20,480
Speaker 4: against Suggests.

684
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 2: Yeah. Good. One also had a good game that game.

685
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 1: Is there any hypothetical rim protector out there that they

686
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:29,279
Speaker 1: could get off of waivers off the scrap heat?

687
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:31,360
Speaker 4: Wasn't that the Alex lenn Hope?

688
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:33,360
Speaker 1: Yeah? And what happened there?

689
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:38,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, let's see who what's Javal McGee doing these days?

690
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:41,279
Speaker 1: All right? I feel like that's where we're at.

691
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I don't think I don't think so. I

692
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 2: don't think so.

693
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:50,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, what else happened around the league? Calves

694
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:53,360
Speaker 1: still got a six game lead, okay, seeing the Calves

695
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 1: are tied for the best record.

696
00:36:55,480 --> 00:37:00,760
Speaker 2: Yeah no, no, no, Calves have the best record. Okay, yeah, okay,

697
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:04,279
Speaker 2: see's right behind them. Okay, but there's even an eight

698
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 2: game lead over the Grizzlies. It's uh And the Celtics

699
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:11,480
Speaker 2: are still there, man, there, still there. They won't go away, Jack.

700
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 1: Oh, I don't. I don't expect them to. I've seen

701
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:17,799
Speaker 1: seen all the Friday the Thirteenth movies. I know you

702
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 1: don't say, oh, thank god, I'll go and lay down

703
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 1: next to Jason's body.

704
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:27,839
Speaker 2: And then the other Jason Tatum shows up exactly. Yeah, yeah,

705
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,880
Speaker 2: I get it. I get it. But then the other thing, Denver,

706
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:33,880
Speaker 2: I'm this was another thing. This one is making we

707
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:35,839
Speaker 2: do stuff to pick a game of the week, and

708
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 2: Denver is looking really good. And I was playing the

709
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 2: Lakers very soon here, and that looks like it could be.

710
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:45,440
Speaker 2: I'm very again. I like, I want to see. I

711
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 2: want to put these theories to the test. I do

712
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:49,880
Speaker 2: want to see how we're going to perform against the Nuggets.

713
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:52,959
Speaker 2: Just given the momentum that both teams have. But Jack,

714
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:55,320
Speaker 2: I know you were you were, you were saying you

715
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:56,920
Speaker 2: think they're My.

716
00:37:57,560 --> 00:38:02,879
Speaker 1: Now rundown of the week is the Denver Nuggets. Uh,

717
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 1: I feel like need to be observed with wariness over

718
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 1: these last thirty games. Jabalmore, you just put up fifty

719
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:11,799
Speaker 1: five in his last game before the break, which I

720
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 1: would think suggests that he's healthy again. But yeah, they're

721
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:17,920
Speaker 1: they're trending in the right direction. They're scary, you know.

722
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:20,759
Speaker 1: But all I want to see is the best team

723
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 1: come out of the West to challenge the Celtics slash

724
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:28,920
Speaker 1: Cavaliers if all things go according to plan, So.

725
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:30,719
Speaker 2: Then I guess for the game of the week, we

726
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:34,440
Speaker 2: should consider a few things coming up Thursday Suns at

727
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:39,720
Speaker 2: Spurs on TNT, Friday NIXI Calves on ESPN, Saturday Lakers

728
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:43,880
Speaker 2: and Nuggets on ABC, and then Sunday Thunder at Wolves.

729
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 2: This I'll be on your local station, so check that out.

730
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 2: But Uh, Sarah, what will give you what of those games?

731
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:53,200
Speaker 2: What do you think? What's what's What's the one we

732
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:54,840
Speaker 2: should keep an eye on that will bring up for

733
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:55,640
Speaker 2: the next episode.

734
00:38:56,000 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 4: I'm pretty different one sure, Uh, Thursday Clippers at.

735
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:06,400
Speaker 1: Bucks Clippers at Bucks the Doc Rivers showdown.

736
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:09,879
Speaker 4: M h, I mean the Bucks they're playing. I think

737
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:13,120
Speaker 4: it's like roughly five hundred probably over their last five games,

738
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:16,560
Speaker 4: if not close to it, which not great if you're

739
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:20,279
Speaker 4: wanting to stay at the top of the East. At

740
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 4: the same time, five hundred could probably put you at

741
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:23,640
Speaker 4: the top of the East be if we're being honest.

742
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:30,320
Speaker 4: But the Clippers are kind of playing sneaky good and

743
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:32,880
Speaker 4: I think they won their last three going into the break,

744
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:35,839
Speaker 4: and so I think that they're gonna want to keep

745
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:38,399
Speaker 4: the momentum going. And so that's a game that i'd

746
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:39,320
Speaker 4: be interested to watch.

747
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:42,799
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, okay, I think we're playing now.

748
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:47,240
Speaker 1: Damn in your face, Lakers, it's not it's not you. Sorry,

749
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:48,840
Speaker 1: I'm not evenna watch.

750
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:51,399
Speaker 2: That now that Sarah said, I'm gonna watch that Clipper game.

751
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 1: There you go.

752
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:54,720
Speaker 2: I don't even careacter we're probably gonna win anyway.

753
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 4: So it's like, we aren't the Lakers. Next two games

754
00:39:57,080 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 4: against like the Hornets and the Blazers.

755
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:02,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, well I think our very next yeah,

756
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 2: our next game is against the Hornets, yes, exactly.

757
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 1: So we'll say a game of the week. You have

758
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:10,520
Speaker 1: two options. You could do Lakers and I'll gets on ABC,

759
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:15,719
Speaker 1: or you can buy League Pass and get the Clippers

760
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:18,080
Speaker 1: Bucks game and pay whatever whatever.

761
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:19,280
Speaker 2: Move to those markets.

779
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:20,080

833
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:08,480
Speaker 2: some kind of dynasty mode in a video game. What

834
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:10,920

Speaker 2: any other?

836
00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:17,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, Like it feels like I want ultimate defense versus

837
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:24,120
Speaker 4: ultimate offense. So I want maybe the Warriors seventy three

838
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:26,440
Speaker 4: team against the Detroit Pistons.

00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:56,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jack sick with the segment.

849
00:44:57,560 --> 00:45:03,000
Speaker 4: Three Warriors part of part of the the like appeal

850
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:05,080
Speaker 4: of that Warriors team, right, is that like that was

851
00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:07,440
Speaker 4: when Draymond was kind of at the height of his powers, right,

852
00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:12,040
Speaker 4: But like, yeah, is Draymond really powerful if Dennis Rodman

853
00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:14,120
Speaker 4: is shutting him up all night?

854
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:18,399

855
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:21,680
Speaker 1: the threes just put the bulls out of it? Would

856
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:25,440
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan in between Games one and Game two, just

857
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:28,439
