00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 2: Welcome in What's Right with Nick Right? Episode two twenty six.

10
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:51,559
Speaker 2: What a night of college hoops last night? All the

11
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 2: women's side of things we have. I'm the great statistician

12
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 2: from First Things First. Dusty is about to text me

13
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 2: the exact number. But there is a chance that both

14
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 2: the men's and the women's all time single tournament scoring

15
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 2: record goes down in this tournament. Zach Edy for Purdue,

16
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 2: fresh off his forty point performance, has scored one hundred

17
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 2: and twenty points through four tournament games. The all time

18
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 2: record for a single tournament is NBA jam Legend Flame

19
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:34,320
Speaker 2: thrower Glenn Rice, who had one hundred and eighty four

20
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 2: points for Michigan thirty five years ago in a NCAA tournament.

21
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 2: So Edie needs to average thirty two and a half points.

22
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 2: He needs to obviously make the final and score sixty

23
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 2: five total points in his next two games. Caitlan Clark,

24
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 2: I don't know what the women's record is. That's what

25
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 2: Dusty's looking up for me right now. Caitlin Clark has

26
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 2: one hundred and thirty six through four tournament games. She

27
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 2: is averaging and incomprehensible thirty four, seven and ten through

28
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 2: the tournament. And so if she can get past Yukon

29
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,799
Speaker 2: and get to the final against South Carolina, I've got

30
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 2: to imagine she's got a great chance at setting that record.

31
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 2: So a wonderful night in women's basketball yesterday, a wonderful

32
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:29,399
Speaker 2: night in basketball in general. We will discuss that I'm

33
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 2: gonna give young people some advice in relation to what

34
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:38,519
Speaker 2: Angel Rees said after the game. Also, folks really were

35
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:43,079
Speaker 2: mad at me, it would appear, for not discussing the

36
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 2: Rashi Rice situation on television yesterday. That is not a

37
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 2: great television topic because there's not much to say with

38
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 2: the information we have, but I'll discuss it here. We'll

39
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 2: do all that talk some NBA play a game of

40
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 2: likely maybe what if. But first, here's what missed the

41
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 2: cut for today's show. A UFL kicker that reportedly hadn't

42
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:09,799
Speaker 2: kicked the field goals in high school hit a sixty

43
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:14,519
Speaker 2: four yard game winner. Beyonce releasing a country album pretty

44
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 2: good actually, and the Chiefs signed Carson Wentz Demons welcome

45
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 2: in shades. Look great. You're gonna get your new designer

46
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 2: shades when I see you in a week and a half.

47
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,239
Speaker 2: But in the meantime, I like the rotation you're going

48
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 2: through the chief sneakily. I think might be listening to

49
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 2: my old Cam Newton advice, which was I said they

50
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 2: need to sign Cam specifically for goal line and QB

51
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 2: sneak situations. Carson Wentz, great at those things. That might

52
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 2: be what my guy Brett Veach is doing. And so

53
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 2: Carson Wentz coming in to be a backup quarterback for

54
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 2: the Chiefs. But of course the new was last night.

55
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 2: Demons are the lead eight games on the women's side

56
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 2: of the bracket, So you go ahead.

57
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, So Kaylin Clark put on a clinic versus LSU.

58
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 3: Last night got their revenge from last year. Juju Watkins

59
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 3: dropped twenty nine, but USC came up short and couldn't go.

60
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 3: Couldn't killed cage buckets in Yukon. You predicted that last

61
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 3: night will be the greatest night in women's history or

62
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 3: women's hoop history. Sorry about that women's history.

63
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I'm not sure what night that would be,

64
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 2: but in women's basketball history. So here's the deal. Yeah,

65
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 2: lived up to my expectations. Yukon's better than USC. I

66
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 2: understand USC. I shouldn't say that USC had the higher seed.

67
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 2: I'm not shocked at Yukon won. And people should remember

68
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 2: that Page was the best player in the sport, arguably

69
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 2: as a freshman, like Juju has the argument at least

70
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 2: aside from Caitlyn Clark. And then Paige missed time because

71
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 2: she got hurt, and now Page is reminding everyone who

72
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 2: she is now. Juju is maybe has the highest upside

73
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 2: of any female player I've ever seen, and at her

74
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 2: age and her skill set and her size, We'll see

75
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 2: what she continues to do. Demanda, you got to see

76
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 2: her in person. We didn't talk about it on the show.

77
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 4: But I mean she is.

78
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 2: An amazing defendermates seems like right, I mean, she's exceptional,

79
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 2: but she'll have her time, and I'm glad that we're

80
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 2: gonna get Caitlyn. It would have been awesome to get

81
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,919
Speaker 2: Caitlyn against Juju, but Caitlyn against Page is pretty dope.

82
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 2: And then sitting on the other side of the bracket

83
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 2: is South Carolina, which is gonna win the whole thing.

84
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 4: They're undefeated.

85
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,279
Speaker 2: No, I mean, they've got the best coach in college basketball,

86
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 2: They're the best roster in college basketball. They the I mean,

87
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 2: South Carolina is the best team. It would take a

88
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 2: more than what Caitlyn did last night against LSU by

89
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 2: Caitlin or Page to beat South Carolina. But either way,

90
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,919
Speaker 2: it's an unbelievable run for both these programs. But I

91
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 2: want to talk about Caitlin first. I do think and

92
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 2: I hate to start negative, but I will do it. Agree.

93
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 2: I thought Kim Mulkie's game plan was perplexing. I thought

94
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 2: just asking Haley van Lyt deer up was a curious

95
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 2: decision that she didn't go away from. They didn't start

96
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 2: blitzing her or put flage on her until the game

97
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 2: was out of hand. With four minutes left, and it'd

98
00:06:51,800 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 2: be like Haley was yes, and Haley would struggling massively

99
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 2: on the offensive end. So in theory and Haley had

100
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 2: a brutal tournament. I feel badly for her. She's the

101
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 2: young lady that was at Louisville last year, had the

102
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 2: little back and forth with Caitlyn and then transferred Lsu

103
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 2: to be with a better team, and she listened. She

104
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 2: shot twenty one percent from the field in the tournament,

105
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 2: in twenty one percent from three. It was a brutal

106
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 2: tournament for but she. You can't ask anybody to just

107
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 2: play one on one man defense on Caitlyn Clark. That's

108
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 2: what Mulki asked Hailey van Litt to do, and it

109
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 2: was when you watched how she was playing offensively, the

110
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 2: only way that made sense was, Okay, you're dealing with

111
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 2: that because of what she's giving you defensively. But the

112
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 2: poor lady was getting cooked defensively. There's nothing anybody who

113
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 2: was going to be able to do against Kaitlyn last night.

114
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 2: And that was a legendary performance by a legendary player.

115
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 2: This is the team that beat you in the national

116
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 2: championship game. That you have had circled all year long

117
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:10,119
Speaker 2: that for some people, nothing that you do this year.

118
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 2: I'm not one of those people, but for some people

119
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 2: was going to matter if you lose to them. And

120
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 2: she had one of the best games of her career

121
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 2: forty one, seven and twelve with an impossible degree of

122
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 2: difficulty on those shots, just absolutely impossible degree of difficulty.

123
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 2: And so when you saw what she did now last

124
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 2: year against South Carolina in the national semifinal, she had

125
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 2: and maybe even a more impressive uh shooting performance the

126
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 2: where she no no, actually the no, it wasn't a

127
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 2: more impressive shooting performance in that game. She acs has

128
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 2: struggled from three, but she had forty one in that

129
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 2: game as well, but not as many assists. You could

130
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 2: argue South Carolina was better I don't know last year

131
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 2: than LSU. This year. Probably was, but I didn't Given

132
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 2: the opponent, given the stakes, and given the attention, it

133
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 2: was the most impressive game of her career. And you

134
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 2: can say it wasn't the biggest game of her career

135
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 2: because she played for a national championship last year, and

136
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 2: I understand that argument, but the revenge factor and last

137
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 2: year in the National championship, it was kind of a

138
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 2: house money game. They weren't expected to be there. Caitlin

139
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 2: didn't have these type of expectations. LSU was considered the

140
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 2: better team this year. You're the favorite, you are expected

141
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 2: to be there, You're the one all of those things.

142
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 2: You gotta win that game or a lot of people

143
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,080
Speaker 2: are gonna find ways to be like, oh, how good

144
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 2: is Caitlin Clark really? And she responded with arguably the

145
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 2: greatest performance of her career. And those shots were just impossible. Man.

146
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 2: They're off balanced on the move, off the dribble with

147
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 2: some of them with good defense where you saw Angel

148
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 2: and Haley both do the Michael Jordan shrug, like what

149
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 2: the hell do you want me to do? Like? What

150
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 2: do you want me to do in this spot? And

151
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 2: so I know there's gonna be a discussion on is

152
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 2: she the greatest female basketball player ever? Here's my issue

153
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 2: with that discussion. When it comes to talking about the

154
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 2: greatest NBA players ever. I feel like I am able

155
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 2: to accurately and intelligently discuss players that I never watched

156
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,959
Speaker 2: live because I've the ability to go back and watch

157
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 2: almost anything from the eighties on, and so maybe I

158
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:12,239
Speaker 2: can't fairly evaluate Wilton Russell. But I can fairly evaluate

159
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 2: you know more about half of Kareem's career, all of Magic,

160
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 2: all of Byrd, all of Michael, all of that. I

161
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 2: Cheryl Miller is probably the leading contender historically for the

162
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 2: greatest female player ever. All I can do is watch

163
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 2: clips and reader Wikipedia like I can't. I can't go

164
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 2: back and watch her the way I could watch men's

165
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 2: pro basketball of the same era. So and obviously the

166
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,439
Speaker 2: greatest players at Tennessee in the nineties and a long

167
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 2: list of Yukon women's Huskies over the last twenty years,

168
00:11:55,640 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 2: from Tarazi to Brianna Stewart, all have a credible case.

169
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 2: So I don't know. If Caitlyn Clark's the greatest female

170
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 2: basketball player ever, my money would be on Juju getting there.

171
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 2: I do know this, Caitlyn Clark is revolutionary in the

172
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 2: attention she has brought to the sport, the eyeballs she

173
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,439
Speaker 2: has brought to the sport, and the way she has

174
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:33,079
Speaker 2: risen to the occasion every time the spotlight's been on her.

175
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 4: And people like three pointers.

176
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 2: Well yes, and she plays a She has a lot

177
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:48,439
Speaker 2: of stylistic similarities to Steph All of these men's players

178
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 2: who have come up trying to emulate Steph, she has

179
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 2: succeeded more than any of them. Like Trey Young takes

180
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 2: a lot of the same shots Steph does, but you'll

181
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 2: look at a shooting percentages, you look at his efficiency,

182
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 2: it's not there. Her passing, plus her off the bounce,

183
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 2: off balance, rain shooting, she is the closest to step

184
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 2: off ball. Oh that's a great point. What she does

185
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 2: when she doesn't have the ball right, the constant movement,

186
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 2: all of it, the relocating. So I do think last

187
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 2: night was a transcendent moment in women's sports history, and

188
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 2: it brings me to what I wonder is going to

189
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:48,599
Speaker 2: happen with Caitlin Clark and the Stars and the WNBA.

190
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 2: Because I sent Demand a text yesterday that seems seems

191
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 2: make believe what I sent him, But I'm gonna read

192
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:03,079
Speaker 2: it to you directly from USA today, which is right

193
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 2: now if you're listening. Give it a guess what Caitlin

194
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 2: Clark as the number one pick of next year's WNBA

195
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 2: draft will make. So just you know, if you're just

196
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 2: come up with a number in your head. And this

197
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 2: is not a conversation about that. The WNBA players should

198
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 2: make as much as NBA players. That is a facile

199
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 2: conversation that nobody actually thinks is true, and people who

200
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 2: are on the other side of the argument prop it

201
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 2: up as a straw man as if that is what

202
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 2: you're arguing against. But when I tell you how much

203
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 2: Caitlin Clark's going to make from the Indiana Fever next year,

204
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 2: when she's the number one pick, I promise you whatever

205
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 2: number you're guessing, you're far too high. So the number

206
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 2: one pick of last year's WNBA draft, and I'm gonna

207
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 2: so it was a Leah Boston. I'm gonna read you

208
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 2: her exact salary, so again this will go up by

209
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 2: a tick. Aliah Boston got a three year, two hundred

210
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 2: and thirty thousand dollars contract that is not per season,

211
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 2: that is total the number one pick of last year's

212
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 2: WNBA draft. Her salaries are as follows, seventy four grand,

213
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 2: seventy six grand, eighty three grand, and then a team

214
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 2: option for ninety four thousand dollars. So that's what Caitlin

215
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 2: Clark is gonna make from the Indiana Fever next year.

216
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 2: So there are a lot of elements to that and

217
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 2: Echino to it. And how profitable is the league, should

218
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 2: the players get a larger share of the revenue pie

219
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 2: as they do in the NBA, all of it. I

220
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 2: don't actually care to have that conversation right now. The

221
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 2: conversation I do care to have is this, if the

222
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 2: NBA and the WNBA care about ensuring that they continue

223
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 2: the momentum from the women's college game and don't have

224
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 2: their stars going overseas to play as so many have,

225
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 2: most famously obviously Britney Griner, who then got locked up

226
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 2: for a year plus while playing in Russia, but so

227
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 2: many of the great play overseas. They have to find

228
00:16:54,520 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 2: a way to make this make sense because people say, well,

229
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 2: Caitlyn's gonna make so much money off endorsements. She's gonna make.

230
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:08,160
Speaker 2: However much she's gonna make off endorsements is going to exist,

231
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 2: whether the whether she makes seventy five grand or seven

232
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 2: hundred fifty grand in the WNBA. But the individual's player

233
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 2: max for the the WNBA is a quarter of a

234
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 2: million bucks, and Caitlin Clerk averaging eighty grand a year

235
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 2: for the first three years of her career. That's not

236
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 2: a sustainable business model. And there somebody is gonna see

237
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 2: that and create a competing all star league that is

238
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:45,399
Speaker 2: going to pay the actual stars that get developed in

239
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 2: college basketball real money, and then the WNBA is cooked

240
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 2: that if the WNBA has a chance to use this, right,

241
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 2: I exactly right what ice Cube talked about, or somebody

242
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:04,199
Speaker 2: like the America loves stars and we now have a

243
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 2: bunch of female college stars. And I'm not saying you

244
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 2: got they have to all make millions of dollars, but

245
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:18,439
Speaker 2: eighty grand a year for Caitlin Clark ain't gonna cut it, guys,

246
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:28,440
Speaker 2: just not. And it also will create situations where if

247
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 2: your team is paying you eighty and Nike's paying you

248
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 2: a million, who do you work for? You don't work

249
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,359
Speaker 2: for your team, you work for Nike. There are there

250
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 2: there will be if your if your team is paying

251
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 2: you eighty and you're offered fifty to give a speech,

252
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 2: team's paying you eighty for the year and you're offered

253
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 2: fifty grand to give a speech that conflicts with something

254
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 2: your team needs to do, well, sorry, guys, like they're

255
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 2: real things that happen here. And so that that is

256
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,400
Speaker 2: something that the NBA and the WNBA need to figure out,

257
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 2: because you can't squander this moment. And we have seen

258
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:17,200
Speaker 2: in men's sports, when the NBA was not financially what

259
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 2: it is now, the ABA takes advantage and gets stars.

260
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,399
Speaker 2: When the NFL was not financially what it is now,

261
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 2: the USFL Steve Young, Reggie Whites, Doug Fluteie warn moon

262
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:35,399
Speaker 2: stars you can't have the league's talent pool diluted. So

263
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:40,120
Speaker 2: I really really hope that on the professional level they

264
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 2: take advantage of the fact that you are going to

265
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:49,639
Speaker 2: have over the next few years names coming into your league, Caitlin, Angel, Page,

266
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 2: Juju all coming into your league that people will want

267
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:57,719
Speaker 2: to see. All Right, With all that said, I think

268
00:19:57,840 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 2: USC is gonna win the whole thing. I'm sorry us.

269
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:01,879
Speaker 2: South Carolina is gonna win the whole thing. They were

270
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 2: also USC oddly University of South Carolina, but South Carolina's

271
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 2: the best team. I also really like doing Staley, but

272
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 2: that I if Caitlin can pull this off, it'll be remarkable.

273
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:19,160
Speaker 2: But I I think South Carolina is too good, and

274
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 2: Gabe is reminding us that is a fake USC. Well,

275
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:24,880
Speaker 2: they're votes University of Southern California, University of South Carolina.

276
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 2: You guys hash that out in court. All right, demanse uh,

277
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 2: let's go to Angel Rees.

278
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:31,360
Speaker 4: Yeah.

279
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 3: So after the game, Angel Rees had had this to say,

280
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:38,119
Speaker 3: enterpressor for those watching on YouTube, I'm gonna show up, yeah,

281
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:39,920
Speaker 3: a little small videos.

282
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,920
Speaker 5: I just try to stand strong. Like I've been through

283
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 5: so much. I've seen so much. I've been attacked so

284
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:51,160
Speaker 5: many times, death threats, I've been sexualized, I've been threat

285
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 5: and I've been so many things and I've stitched strong

286
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 5: every single time. And I just try to stand strong

287
00:20:57,960 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 5: for my teammates because I don't want them to see

288
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,399
Speaker 5: me down and like not be there for them. So

289
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:06,880
Speaker 5: I just want to always just know like I'm still

290
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:10,400
Speaker 5: a human, Like all this has happened since I won

291
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:12,440
Speaker 5: the National championship, and I said the other day, I

292
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 5: haven't happy since then, and it sucks, and but I

293
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 5: still wouldn't change.

294
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 2: Okay, So that's heartbreaking. And listen, there's a lot that

295
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 2: goes into that. A lot of the Angel Rees hate

296
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 2: from a year ago was steeped in racism. There's obviously

297
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 2: Kim Maulki, who I'm not a fan of at all,

298
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 2: but she was right in this regard. Some of a

299
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 2: lot of this has been misogynistic, there's a lot of

300
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 2: factors that have led to that, but that's actually not

301
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 2: the discussion that I want to have here. The discussion

302
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,680
Speaker 2: I want to have here is a different one, and

303
00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 2: that is too particularly young people, but really people my

304
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:11,920
Speaker 2: age as well, but particularly people age fifteen to twenty

305
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 2: five are the ones I am speaking to most specifically here,

306
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,879
Speaker 2: but I think there are grown ass people my age

307
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 2: and older that could use this lesson as well. Everybody, everybody.

308
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:39,439
Speaker 2: You gotta stop reading the comments you have to People

309
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:47,879
Speaker 2: are not human beings, are not psychologically equipped to deal

310
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:54,479
Speaker 2: with a constant inflow of attacks. I do not know

311
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 2: how many instances we have to show we have to

312
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 2: have to show you there is real psychological damage done

313
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 2: to people, particularly young people, if they are constantly reading,

314
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 2: even if it is anonymous strangers tearing them down. And

315
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 2: I am in a unique place to talk about this

316
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 2: because I, because of my media career and because of

317
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:37,639
Speaker 2: my exact time joining the media and the age I was,

318
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:42,399
Speaker 2: and then the like the twenty years since, got a

319
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 2: small taste of being a public figure pre social media,

320
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:52,879
Speaker 2: and then a large taste during the birth of social media,

321
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:59,439
Speaker 2: the ubiquitousness of it, and now a large sample of

322
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:04,920
Speaker 2: sense I have essentially logged off not from my own comments,

323
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 2: but from reading any of yours. And I am here

324
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 2: to tell you it will absolutely impact and affect your

325
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 2: real life relationships, how you view yourself, the way you

326
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 2: carry yourself, all of these things because of what you

327
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 2: are reading and seeing that is set about you. There

328
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 2: is almost no way to become inoculated against it other

329
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:52,440
Speaker 2: than avoiding it and what angel reades experience. So when

330
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:58,200
Speaker 2: you think about what she said there, death threats, sexualized,

331
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 2: all of those things, honest question, how many of those

332
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 2: things do you think happened in person? How many of

333
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 2: those things do you think was someone coming up to

334
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:19,239
Speaker 2: her on the street and saying that to her. I

335
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 2: understand you get heckled in person as an athlete, but

336
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 2: athletes are great at dealing with that and sometimes, you know,

337
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 2: using that as fuel. I don't think that's what she's

338
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 2: talking about. I think she's talking about through her goddamn phone.

339
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 2: And I'm and I am here to tell you that

340
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 2: there is no way you're not going to age out

341
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 2: of that impacting you. You're not going to mature out

342
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 2: of that impacting you. The only way to not allow

343
00:25:56,440 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 2: that to be a sore on your soul is to

344
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:08,679
Speaker 2: not read it. And I know that is kind of

345
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:15,880
Speaker 2: counterintuitive to what ideally social media is there for. It's

346
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 2: so you can interact with people, it's so people can

347
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 2: leave comments, it's so I get all of that. But

348
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:28,440
Speaker 2: that is not what it is in practicality today, especially

349
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 2: if you are a public figure. And I we're not

350
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:42,439
Speaker 2: through the other side of this yet, we're still in

351
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 2: the midst of it. But for young people out there

352
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:52,160
Speaker 2: that have any type of following, even if the following

353
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 2: is just a lot of people at your high school

354
00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 2: or college follow you on Instagram or TikTok or whatever

355
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 2: it is, I am here to tell you that that

356
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:14,120
Speaker 2: shit is toxic. Angel Reeths reached the pinnacle, led her

357
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 2: team to the national championship, was one of the best

358
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 2: players in her sport. Was on talk shows Sports Illustrated,

359
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:31,159
Speaker 2: the swimsuit edition, the regular edition, made money, had got

360
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:36,919
Speaker 2: rich by certainly by college standards and maybe by anybody's standards.

361
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 2: And she just said that in that timeframe, she hasn't

362
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 2: been happy because you can't run from that shit if

363
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:52,959
Speaker 2: you read it. And I'm here to tell you that

364
00:27:55,520 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 2: one of the best decisions I ever made was stopping

365
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:06,359
Speaker 2: reading that stuff like this is and it is, And

366
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 2: I get sometimes annoyed by people who I actually interact

367
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:16,920
Speaker 2: with that then come to me and tell me, oh, man,

368
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,679
Speaker 2: folks are killing you for X. No, they're fucking not.

369
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 2: I mean maybe they are on on your phone, but

370
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:33,440
Speaker 2: in real life you better find me walking my dog,

371
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 2: or have my phone number or know me personally otherwise

372
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 2: I'm not hearing it. And that does make me a

373
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 2: little sad, because it means there are there's good There

374
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 2: are people that I probably would like to connect with

375
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 2: or you know, a big fans or whatever it is

376
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 2: that I'm missing. There them reaching out of their common

377
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 2: but I I can't wade through the toxicity to find

378
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 2: those without having the toxicity pull me down. And so

379
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 2: Angel Reese like I empathize with her and with every

380
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 2: young person that becomes famous, every single one. But I'm

381
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 2: here to tell you the only way through is to

382
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 2: decide that the dopamine kicks you get from the good

383
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 2: comments will not outweigh the being dragged down by the

384
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 2: bat And I've seen folks in my field wreck their

385
00:29:50,920 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 2: careers by being so captivated by their online audience and

386
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 2: curating their content to that or changing what they will

387
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 2: or won't say, or being afraid all of it. It's

388
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 2: too many people. You're not gonna please them all. And

389
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 2: the more successful you get, the more people that will

390
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 2: be there to try to ruin your day. And so

391
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 2: I I really really wish that we did a better

392
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 2: job preparing. I used to say you should be able

393
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 2: to major in pro athlete when you went to college, Like, hey,

394
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 2: people major in things all the time that they're not

395
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 2: gonna end up being and people let them. It's like

396
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 2: people majored in broadcast journalism at Syracuse that I think

397
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 2: was pretty clear early on You're not gonna be a broadcaster.

398
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 2: Nobody said you're not allowed to do it. People major

399
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 2: in art history. You know, you can major anything you want,

400
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 2: and you should be able to major in pro athlete

401
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 2: and the classes would be things like contract law, public speaking,

402
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 2: money management, the things you would need if you become

403
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 2: a pro athlete. One of those things should be dealing

404
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 2: with celebrity and how to deal with it and keep

405
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 2: even keel because we're not helping our folks out on that,

406
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 2: and that dealing with celebrity thing is maybe something we

407
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 2: could teach in high school to everyone because everyone is

408
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 2: a different in today's day and age, almost everyone's some

409
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 2: form of celebrity, just different levels of it. Anybody that

410
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 2: dips their toe into the content creation or social media

411
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 2: or semi public figure waters is going to be susceptible

412
00:31:56,240 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 2: to this stuff. And it is It makes me sick

413
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 2: that Angel Reaves basically just said this last year, which

414
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:06,479
Speaker 2: should have been the best year of her life, has

415
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 2: been the worst. But that is that is not like

416
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:17,480
Speaker 2: right now, if you go, I'm certain to Angel Reese's

417
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 2: social media, what people are doing some people are doing

418
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 2: is putting up pictures from her in the swimsuit issue

419
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 2: and saying, oh, you're gonna cry about being sexualized and

420
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 2: all of a sudden put that on her. Twist it.

421
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 2: They're gonna put that on her and somewhere in her

422
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 2: brain as a kid is a twenty seven year olds,

423
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 2: there's something and there's gonna be like, oh, did I

424
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 2: do that? Am I a fault? Should I not have

425
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 2: done that?

426
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 4: Should I?

427
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 2: And it's it's just not good for your mental health, y'all, flatly,

428
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 2: And it's one of the reasons demands that I especially

429
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 2: right when we started, and to a degree now and

430
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 2: try to be protect when you're twenty five, You're you're older,

431
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 2: but it's still like I try to be I I

432
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 2: had to and I still have to kind of walk

433
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 2: a fine line of how like big do I want

434
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 2: your Twitter following to be? And I understand I really should.

435
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 2: I'm not trying to live your life for you. I apologize.

436
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 2: I know that sounds patronizing. I don't mean it too,

437
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 2: but you're but you You're in this public figure world

438
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 2: because of me, and so I feel, you know what

439
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 2: I mean, There is a the there is a real

440
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 2: like I just don't think it's good for people, like

441
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:37,720
Speaker 2: do you think let me ask you, if we're going

442
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:40,000
Speaker 2: to move on, do you think when people because I

443
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 2: know you see some of them, or at least when

444
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 2: we first started, you would read a lot of the comments.

445
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 2: Did you feel it having an impact on you?

446
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I definitely felt like, uh, it added

447
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 3: to me question a couple of things, But it was

448
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 3: I think that I think that with most of the him,

449
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 3: I could just like kind of look at him and

450
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 3: and laugh, maybe like I was thinking something else on

451
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 3: my head. But there are definitely a couple of comments

452
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,439
Speaker 3: that I can remember that. It just made me sit

453
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 3: there and like kind of think for a second and

454
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:16,640
Speaker 3: like maybe you still remember exactly, Yeah, well.

455
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 2: It did last outside of it because you still remember it.

456
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:23,719
Speaker 2: It's still somewhere burrowed in your brain. Because and this

457
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:25,360
Speaker 2: is the last point, and I know I'm going along

458
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:27,920
Speaker 2: on this, this last point I'll make Human beings are

459
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 2: not wired to be under constant attack because in person

460
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:42,800
Speaker 2: people aren't. Right, Like, like, pre social media, the amount

461
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 2: of times someone was cursed out by somebody in a

462
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 2: year for most people would be around zero, Like how

463
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 2: many times? Like and even post social media, ask yourself,

464
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 2: how many any awful interactions have I had with another

465
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:11,320
Speaker 2: human being this year in person? Don't count spouse, kids, brother, sister, mom, dad, family, separate,

466
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 2: how many awful? Like I hope you die? Like has

467
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 2: anyone ever said that to you in person? Probably not?

468
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:24,880
Speaker 2: And so we're just psychologically we're not. Maybe we'll go

469
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 2: to a place to where work social media Well, there's

470
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:31,719
Speaker 2: just so there's just too many, just too many and

471
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 2: the and so all right, we can move on now.

472
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 2: Apolog I was on the wrong side, but no, the

473
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 2: who was on the wrong side of things?

474
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 3: Nothing I think that I thought a certain way about

475
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:49,840
Speaker 3: the angel rease topic as well, and I further understand

476
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 3: now And.

477
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 2: Oh you thought that it was like crocodile tears.

478
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:58,440
Speaker 3: No, I like it, Like you basically you kind of

479
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 3: called me out without not even call me out. But

480
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 3: like she said something about her being sexualized, and I

481
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 3: was like, she did the whole swimsuit thing and that

482
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:07,279
Speaker 3: was the wrong side of it. Like I was just

483
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 3: like it was very surface level. Oh she felt sexualized,

484
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:13,400
Speaker 3: but she did a shoot. But I get it, I

485
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 3: get it.

486
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 4: I was on the wrong side.

487
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:16,879
Speaker 2: Well, no, so like that is I think that's where

488
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:18,360
Speaker 2: a lot of people's heads went, like what are you

489
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 2: talking about? But yeah, that the next level to it

490
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:25,400
Speaker 2: is like you can be proud of your body with

491
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 2: a sexualized I don't think maybe I'm wrong. I don't

492
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:36,000
Speaker 2: think she means like people being like you're hot, my

493
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:41,920
Speaker 2: gas is right people have I wouldn't be shocked if

494
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 2: she had been sent like a deep fake picture of

495
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:49,919
Speaker 2: herself in a sex scene, you know what I mean,

496
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 2: like or you know what I mean, a photoshot picture

497
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:55,840
Speaker 2: of her naked or the I mean again, like I'm

498
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 2: think about Deman's just think this is I'm a guy,

499
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:02,319
Speaker 2: and I'm old, and I again, I've kind of been

500
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 2: through the social media wars, so to speak, so I

501
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 2: built up a bit of an armor. But think about

502
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 2: the most offensive and it funniest might be one way

503
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 2: to put it, but most offensive or most vulgar photoshops

504
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 2: of me that I have shown you, you know what

505
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 2: I mean, the things that were sent about me with

506
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:31,480
Speaker 2: me sometimes Shannon Sharp's in them, Lebron's you know what.

507
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:34,880
Speaker 2: Those things, those things that people on the internet create.

508
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 2: Then imagine you're a young woman who they have the

509
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 2: you know, the pictures to choose from our your swimsuit pictures,

510
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, Like, that's the type of

511
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 2: shit she's talking about, and and so yeah, I just

512
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 2: it's a real thing that we don't yet have a

513
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:55,360
Speaker 2: full grasp on the real impact of it.

514
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:56,600
Speaker 4: All right.

515
00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:59,800
Speaker 2: By the way, the LSU IOWA rating, I'm being told

516
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 2: twelve point two million people. What a number? The National

517
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:08,960
Speaker 2: Championship last year did ten million? Twelve point two million?

518
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:12,520
Speaker 2: Hold on, let me just check something real quick. Twenty

519
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:18,760
Speaker 2: twenty three NBA Finals ratings. I think the NBA Finals

520
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 2: last year averaged eleven point.

521
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:22,600
Speaker 4: Six holy crap.

522
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:30,720
Speaker 2: Okay, we wait, hold on, Oh yeah, it averaged eleven

523
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:35,359
Speaker 2: point six. Last year that lsu Iowa Elle eight game

524
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:38,800
Speaker 2: did twelve point two. At least that's what I'm being told.

525
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 2: That's a great, great number. All right, take quick break,

526
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:47,279
Speaker 2: come back, talk little Lebron, Rashi Rice, my way to

527
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:49,799
Speaker 2: fix playoffs across sports? Do all that next? What's right?

528
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:55,520
Speaker 4: All right?

529
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:58,400
Speaker 2: Welcome back in What's Right with Nick Wright, Episode to

530
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 2: twenty six. All right, let's get back to hoops. Go ahead.

531
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, so Lebron broke the record for most thirty point

532
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:08,759
Speaker 3: games in a row or actually no, not in euro

533
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:11,360
Speaker 3: it's just thirty point games, sorry, and tidy his career

534
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:14,960
Speaker 3: his career high in threes. After the game, he said

535
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:17,480
Speaker 3: that he doesn't have much time left. And you once

536
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 3: said that Lebron wouldn't stick around in the league long

537
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:22,840
Speaker 3: enough to be a bad player, So, oh wait, what'd

538
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 3: you mean by that? And how far can this version

539
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 3: of Lebron take the Lakers?

540
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:30,440
Speaker 2: All right, So what I mean by Lebron won't ever

541
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 2: be a bad player is so he had forty points

542
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:39,920
Speaker 2: on seventeen shots and only took six free throws. So

543
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:42,320
Speaker 2: that's never been done before in the history of the league,

544
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 2: his true shooting percentage was over one hundred percent. He's

545
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:52,240
Speaker 2: right now. This season he has his fifth highest career

546
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:56,880
Speaker 2: field goal percentage, his highest career three point percentage, and

547
00:39:56,920 --> 00:40:00,880
Speaker 2: his sixth highest career assists per game. So is he

548
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:04,880
Speaker 2: peak Lebron obviously not. Is he better than he was

549
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:06,439
Speaker 2: last year? Yes?

550
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:09,600
Speaker 4: Is he it? I guess?

551
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:10,240
Speaker 2: Go ahead.

552
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:13,120
Speaker 3: I think Lebron is probably working on threes way more

553
00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 3: than he's ever.

554
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 4: Worked on him. Yeah.

555
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:21,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, well that's that would be the smart thing, right

556
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:25,720
Speaker 2: as his athleticism is declining and as the game is changing,

557
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:30,319
Speaker 2: try to improve in that area. I mean, right now,

558
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:33,960
Speaker 2: he's shooting better from three than Kyrie Stepford Clay Like,

559
00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:36,840
Speaker 2: that's what he is for this season, He's at almost

560
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:38,480
Speaker 2: forty two from three.

561
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:38,879
Speaker 4: Now.

562
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:42,360
Speaker 2: I understand those guys are taking more threes and tougher threes.

563
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 2: I get that, But the number is the number. And

564
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:50,000
Speaker 2: so if there was this idea that Lebron was going

565
00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 2: to be on this slow, you know, decline, but that

566
00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 2: isn't what's happened. He he has rebounded a bit from

567
00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:04,799
Speaker 2: last year. And if in year twenty one, he's what

568
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 2: the eighth best player in the league. What's he gonna

569
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:13,680
Speaker 2: be at year twenty five if you were to keep

570
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:19,320
Speaker 2: playing the twentieth best player like I just I because

571
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 2: of his IQ commitment to his body and all around game,

572
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 2: We're never gonna see a significant drop off and on

573
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:33,719
Speaker 2: the passing Jordan for twenty five point game or for

574
00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:37,719
Speaker 2: thirty point games. Yes, Lebron's obviously played way, way, way

575
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:42,680
Speaker 2: more games, but he's also had way fewer games than

576
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:46,760
Speaker 2: Jordan with high field goal attempts. So like career games

577
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:49,680
Speaker 2: with twenty five plus field goal attempts, I think Jordan's

578
00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 2: got a few hundred more than Lebron. So the I'm

579
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 2: gonna try to have a Jordan Lebron thing. But this

580
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:59,399
Speaker 2: is this is just another thing where when we look

581
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:02,399
Speaker 2: at the record books, you're gonna see Lebron's name at

582
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:06,000
Speaker 2: the top of everything, and Jordan's name either right behind

583
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:08,759
Speaker 2: Lebron or for a lot of the other records, like

584
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 2: all time points, you know, six seventh, eighth on the list.

585
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:17,239
Speaker 2: But as far as how far can he take these Lakers?

586
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:25,839
Speaker 2: I so, demons, let's do this healthy Lebron. Okay, let's

587
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:29,520
Speaker 2: assume he doesn't suffer an injury. Right, give me the

588
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:34,400
Speaker 2: list of players that you would rather have for a

589
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:40,560
Speaker 2: playoff series starting right now. Nicole yos Yo Kich is

590
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:41,719
Speaker 2: a clear one.

591
00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:45,680
Speaker 4: Are you not.

592
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:50,359
Speaker 3: With the fully I guess, like you said, fully healthy,

593
00:42:51,000 --> 00:43:01,280
Speaker 3: fully healthy? Gi honest, I'm assuming yeah, and I almost

594
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:06,320
Speaker 3: ty Curry in Lebron, But like I'm not sure.

595
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:08,719
Speaker 2: I think Steph has shown more signs of aging this

596
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:11,840
Speaker 2: year than Lebron. I'll put Luca ahead of him. Lucas

597
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:13,000
Speaker 2: playing out of his mind.

598
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:15,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's another one after that.

599
00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:21,800
Speaker 2: I don't know people ready to say Sga and his

600
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:25,080
Speaker 2: almost non existent playoff experience, you rather have him than Lebron.

601
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 2: I'm not. I think Lebron's still better than Durant, He's

602
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:32,160
Speaker 2: better than Booker. I know Booker scored fifty the other night.

603
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:39,319
Speaker 2: So the how far can Lebron take the Lakers? The

604
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:43,160
Speaker 2: answer is probably until they play the Nuggets. But what

605
00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:45,799
Speaker 2: I will also say is this, on the flip side

606
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:49,680
Speaker 2: of that, I think for the Lakers to have any

607
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:53,360
Speaker 2: real chance of a deep playoff run, they've got to

608
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 2: get out of that nine seed. You can't play back

609
00:43:56,719 --> 00:44:01,319
Speaker 2: to back elimination games just to get the opportunity to

610
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:04,480
Speaker 2: play the one seed, you just can't do it. And

611
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 2: getting out of that nine seed. They're running out of time.

612
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:11,480
Speaker 2: They have thirty three losses, the Pelicans of thirty the

613
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:14,479
Speaker 2: Sons of thirty one, the Kings of thirty one. There's

614
00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:19,680
Speaker 2: only seven games left, so the Lakers probably gotta go

615
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:23,600
Speaker 2: six and one the rest of the way to have

616
00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:27,440
Speaker 2: a realistic shot of catching one of those teams.

617
00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:27,520
Speaker 5: Now.

618
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:29,960
Speaker 2: I think they don't have the tiebreaker with Sacramento, so

619
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:33,520
Speaker 2: they're essentially three losses behind Sacramento. They do have the

620
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:39,000
Speaker 2: tiebreaker with Phoenix, so they're two losses behind Phoenix. I

621
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:42,239
Speaker 2: if they get up to the eight line, can they

622
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:47,000
Speaker 2: make the conference finals against Sure? I don't. I don't

623
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:50,840
Speaker 2: think the Lakers have a well enough, well enough rounded

624
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:54,040
Speaker 2: roster in today's NBA to go, you know, even with

625
00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:56,279
Speaker 2: Lebron playing at this level and ad playing at this

626
00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:59,120
Speaker 2: level to beat Denver or.

627
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:01,640
Speaker 4: Are you coming over there? I don't know.

628
00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:05,480
Speaker 2: If it's like I hate that idea, I hate that idea.

629
00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:08,800
Speaker 2: I just don't think three star. First of all, I

630
00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:11,520
Speaker 2: don't think trays a winning player, But I don't think

631
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:15,040
Speaker 2: three stars is the I think the NBA right now

632
00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:16,920
Speaker 2: is too deep with talent. I think you need a

633
00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:20,040
Speaker 2: team that makes sense. I think you need a team

634
00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:26,600
Speaker 2: that you know. Everybody knows has Okac, has Minnesota, to

635
00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 2: their credit, has Boston. Has those teams everybody is fits

636
00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:32,919
Speaker 2: a very specific role.

637
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 3: All right, next, all right, so you pitched a pretty

638
00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:39,960
Speaker 3: crazy idea on TV yesterday, and that would be the

639
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:44,040
Speaker 3: top seeds in the playoffs picking their opponents. So pretend

640
00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:46,320
Speaker 3: Adam Silver is listening and make your pitch.

641
00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:50,840
Speaker 2: Well, it's the simplest idea ever. First of all, it

642
00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:53,480
Speaker 2: would be a can't miss television night the night that

643
00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:57,280
Speaker 2: you do pick your opponents. Second of all, it would

644
00:45:57,480 --> 00:46:03,680
Speaker 2: totally eliminate this unique situation we have in the NBA

645
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:08,960
Speaker 2: right now, where let's say that going into the final

646
00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:14,040
Speaker 2: day of the season, the Sacramento Kings with no Malik

647
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:21,399
Speaker 2: Monk are locked into the sixth line and in the seven, eight, nine,

648
00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:29,919
Speaker 2: ten are Pelicans, Suns, Lakers, Warriors, meaning two of those

649
00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:31,640
Speaker 2: teams are going to be the seven in the eight

650
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:35,640
Speaker 2: and the Kings, a battered, bruised Kings team is the

651
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:39,040
Speaker 2: six line. And let's also say going into that final

652
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:43,239
Speaker 2: day of the season, Oklahoma City, Denver, and Minnesota are

653
00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:46,919
Speaker 2: all tied as they essentially are right now, a game

654
00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:51,120
Speaker 2: between them for the one seed. You really want a

655
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:56,560
Speaker 2: scenario where all three of those teams would rather lose

656
00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:59,920
Speaker 2: than win, would rather be the three seed than the

657
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:03,839
Speaker 2: one seed, because you're getting Sacramento in round one as

658
00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:05,919
Speaker 2: opposed to potentially having to go with Lebron and ad

659
00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:10,719
Speaker 2: or Katie and Booker or who like, that's an absurdity

660
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:15,400
Speaker 2: where teams are tanked, would potentially try to lose games

661
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:19,359
Speaker 2: to game the opponent system. So there's that piece of it,

662
00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:25,359
Speaker 2: and then there's in the East. Hey, congratulations Boston, you

663
00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:30,120
Speaker 2: won sixty five games, you won the conference by thirteen games.

664
00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:35,880
Speaker 2: Guess what Joel embiids your opponent in round one because

665
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:40,120
Speaker 2: Philly was such a disaster without him that they fell

666
00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:43,040
Speaker 2: all the way to the play in And now you

667
00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:49,160
Speaker 2: get embied in round one as opposed to the Orlando

668
00:47:49,239 --> 00:47:54,360
Speaker 2: Magic or the Indiana Pacers. Is that fair or should

669
00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:59,280
Speaker 2: it be as simple as this? The one seed picks

670
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:02,719
Speaker 2: of all the teams that made the playoffs who they

671
00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:08,200
Speaker 2: want to play, The two seed picks who's left, and

672
00:48:08,239 --> 00:48:10,680
Speaker 2: then three and four, you know, three and.

673
00:48:10,680 --> 00:48:14,840
Speaker 3: Four seed at a hint of I don't want to

674
00:48:14,840 --> 00:48:17,400
Speaker 3: say disrespect, but like, I think that would add a

675
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:19,759
Speaker 3: little beef to it, you know, but like healthy.

676
00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:23,600
Speaker 2: One hundred percent. It would add real beef. Right you

677
00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:27,360
Speaker 2: you wanted us, you wanted us, now you've got us.

678
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:31,279
Speaker 2: Of course that would be a thing. And to a

679
00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:34,200
Speaker 2: point to where I think certain teams would be like

680
00:48:34,239 --> 00:48:37,200
Speaker 2: to try to avoid it, would like send their guy

681
00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:38,759
Speaker 2: up there and be like, we're just gonna draw a

682
00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:41,200
Speaker 2: name out of the hat. But every name in the

683
00:48:41,239 --> 00:48:46,000
Speaker 2: hat is the Sacramento Kings, just like, ah, we drew

684
00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:49,120
Speaker 2: the Kings. Ah damn, Like I guess that's who we're

685
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:53,600
Speaker 2: gonna play, and yes, uh and and so of course

686
00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:59,160
Speaker 2: that should be a thing, just like the And I

687
00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:01,440
Speaker 2: also think this should be a thing in the NFL.

688
00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:06,200
Speaker 2: In the NFL, the team that gets the bye as

689
00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:10,160
Speaker 2: the one seed after the wildcard round should be able

690
00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:14,520
Speaker 2: to look and say who they want, we want them

691
00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:19,000
Speaker 2: like we need to. But in the NBA more because

692
00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:21,799
Speaker 2: people are like, ah, the regular season doesn't matter. We

693
00:49:21,920 --> 00:49:27,720
Speaker 2: should really incentivize teams going for it in the regular season.

694
00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:31,720
Speaker 2: And so I so that to me is an obvious one.

695
00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:34,359
Speaker 2: All Right. The last thing I need to talk about

696
00:49:34,360 --> 00:49:39,399
Speaker 2: here is is Rashi Rice. So people are like, Nick,

697
00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:41,279
Speaker 2: are you gonna tweet about this? Nick? Why aren't you

698
00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:44,839
Speaker 2: talked about this? Okay, which I guess proves I do

699
00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:48,880
Speaker 2: see some of the comments because I saw that. So

700
00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:54,120
Speaker 2: Rashi Rice, the allegations are and it appears to have

701
00:49:54,680 --> 00:50:02,920
Speaker 2: compelling video that supports it that I think the story

702
00:50:03,040 --> 00:50:08,680
Speaker 2: is owns a Corvette least the Lamborghini suv and he

703
00:50:08,719 --> 00:50:15,120
Speaker 2: and his buddies were racing those two cars. Uh Saturday,

704
00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:19,160
Speaker 2: like not even late night. It was daylight Saturday, around

705
00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:23,960
Speaker 2: six pm in Dallas on the highway. There was a wreck,

706
00:50:25,560 --> 00:50:29,960
Speaker 2: four other cars got involved, and then seemingly the drivers

707
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:34,440
Speaker 2: and passengers of the Lamborghini and the Corvette fled on foot.

708
00:50:35,040 --> 00:50:38,280
Speaker 2: It sure looks like at least one of the people

709
00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:42,000
Speaker 2: in the car in the Lamborghini was Rashi Rice. It

710
00:50:42,080 --> 00:50:44,759
Speaker 2: has been reported the Corvette is leased in his name

711
00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:47,600
Speaker 2: or he owns it, and the Lamborghini was rented in

712
00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:50,920
Speaker 2: his name, which then creates a whole bit because the

713
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:54,960
Speaker 2: video shows for everyone getting out of the Lamborghini on

714
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:58,239
Speaker 2: the passenger side. Now there's a couple explanations for that.

715
00:50:58,320 --> 00:51:00,799
Speaker 2: One is because of the wreck, the driver's side door

716
00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:04,120
Speaker 2: didn't open. The other one is even in real time.

717
00:51:04,680 --> 00:51:08,080
Speaker 2: The folks in the car were like, Eh, we want

718
00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:10,000
Speaker 2: to be able to say none of us were driving,

719
00:51:10,040 --> 00:51:11,879
Speaker 2: even though some of us had to be driving. Let's

720
00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:14,200
Speaker 2: all get out on that side. Who knows what the

721
00:51:14,280 --> 00:51:18,960
Speaker 2: rationale behind it is. Rashi Rice in potentially a bunch

722
00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:25,440
Speaker 2: of trouble kansaity television station reported yesterday that the Lamborghini

723
00:51:25,560 --> 00:51:30,719
Speaker 2: was rented in his name, which means whatever insurance there is,

724
00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:33,640
Speaker 2: he's the only one that's covered when he has it.

725
00:51:34,080 --> 00:51:36,359
Speaker 2: So then you're in like a weird spot where it's

726
00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:41,759
Speaker 2: like legally from a getting an actual trouble standard. It's

727
00:51:41,840 --> 00:51:44,759
Speaker 2: really helpful if I wasn't the driver from not being

728
00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:48,200
Speaker 2: tied up in lawsuits for the next you know, until

729
00:51:48,200 --> 00:51:51,479
Speaker 2: I'm on my third NFL contract. I kind of need

730
00:51:51,480 --> 00:51:53,840
Speaker 2: to be the driver. So the whole thing is a mess.

731
00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:57,279
Speaker 2: Folks are like, on, Nick, what are you gonna what

732
00:51:57,320 --> 00:52:02,000
Speaker 2: are you gonna say? I'm going to say what I

733
00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:07,960
Speaker 2: have always said about this type of thing. For the

734
00:52:08,120 --> 00:52:13,080
Speaker 2: vast majority of us, the single most dangerous thing we

735
00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:17,640
Speaker 2: do is drive. Most of us are not getting in fights.

736
00:52:18,320 --> 00:52:23,080
Speaker 2: Most of us are not running with the bulls ice,

737
00:52:23,200 --> 00:52:26,759
Speaker 2: you know what deep sea fishing, you know the what

738
00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:32,399
Speaker 2: was that show called Deadliest Catch? We're not loggers. We're

739
00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:36,400
Speaker 2: not for most of us. We are in the most

740
00:52:36,440 --> 00:52:39,600
Speaker 2: jeopardy when we're behind the wheel of a car, either

741
00:52:39,640 --> 00:52:42,760
Speaker 2: because of how we're driving or how other people are driving.

742
00:52:44,480 --> 00:52:52,480
Speaker 2: And being a foolish twenty something year old driving way

743
00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:58,600
Speaker 2: too fast is about as reckless behavior as one can

744
00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:02,719
Speaker 2: engage in. I don't know if he was under the

745
00:53:02,760 --> 00:53:06,600
Speaker 2: influence or not. Because of the time of day, I'm

746
00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:11,640
Speaker 2: going to assume not, but regardless, that obviously adds to it.

747
00:53:12,239 --> 00:53:16,520
Speaker 2: But here is and the reason I and I think

748
00:53:16,560 --> 00:53:19,480
Speaker 2: I made this point when the Henry Ruggs situation happened,

749
00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:24,400
Speaker 2: where obviously he was not the victim. Someone died, but

750
00:53:24,480 --> 00:53:27,360
Speaker 2: I felt terribly for him, and we talked about it

751
00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:30,440
Speaker 2: on this show about how sick to my stomach, I

752
00:53:30,520 --> 00:53:33,880
Speaker 2: felt like, this guy got drunk and was driving one

753
00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:37,080
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty miles an hour, so anything can happen.

754
00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:41,600
Speaker 2: The worst possible thing happened, really the worst thing, which

755
00:53:41,640 --> 00:53:46,879
Speaker 2: is he lived, someone else died, and now he's got

756
00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:51,640
Speaker 2: that to live with. Deal with the repercussions. But I

757
00:53:51,640 --> 00:53:56,560
Speaker 2: felt sick for him because I aink majority of us,

758
00:53:57,680 --> 00:54:01,520
Speaker 2: while maybe haven't done that exact thing when we were young,

759
00:54:02,680 --> 00:54:06,560
Speaker 2: we ever race a guy on the street. Maybe any

760
00:54:06,640 --> 00:54:09,680
Speaker 2: of us ever had too much to drink and still

761
00:54:09,680 --> 00:54:12,800
Speaker 2: got behind the wheel for if you drink. The answer

762
00:54:12,800 --> 00:54:15,719
Speaker 2: to that question is probably at some point like we

763
00:54:15,800 --> 00:54:20,000
Speaker 2: are all, you know, kind of dancing through the rain drops,

764
00:54:20,040 --> 00:54:25,440
Speaker 2: particularly in our twenties of potential disaster. And here is

765
00:54:26,239 --> 00:54:31,080
Speaker 2: the unfairness of the reality of how we as a

766
00:54:31,160 --> 00:54:38,360
Speaker 2: society have decided to punish these cases. We do not

767
00:54:38,680 --> 00:54:44,400
Speaker 2: penalize based on action. We penalize based on result. So

768
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:48,760
Speaker 2: Rashid Rice, if he did what he is accused of doing,

769
00:54:50,880 --> 00:54:55,920
Speaker 2: absolutely could have killed somebody, could have incredibly injured people,

770
00:54:56,200 --> 00:55:00,680
Speaker 2: could have killed himself, all of these things. Because the

771
00:55:00,800 --> 00:55:07,759
Speaker 2: reporting is now there were no quote significant injuries. What

772
00:55:07,840 --> 00:55:12,040
Speaker 2: do I expect will happen? Not much. You could say

773
00:55:12,080 --> 00:55:16,480
Speaker 2: that is probably like unfair. Whatever it is, we we

774
00:55:16,640 --> 00:55:22,680
Speaker 2: have collectively as a society decided we do not penalize

775
00:55:22,719 --> 00:55:26,879
Speaker 2: reckless or drunk or race car driving any like race

776
00:55:27,239 --> 00:55:29,480
Speaker 2: not actual race card, you know what I mean? Based

777
00:55:29,520 --> 00:55:33,719
Speaker 2: on the action We penalize based on the impact. You

778
00:55:33,719 --> 00:55:36,160
Speaker 2: can say that's right or that's wrong, but that's what

779
00:55:36,280 --> 00:55:42,680
Speaker 2: it is. And so this would appear to me like

780
00:55:42,800 --> 00:55:50,440
Speaker 2: Rashi Rice might have gotten incredibly lucky here that the

781
00:55:50,680 --> 00:55:54,719
Speaker 2: doing making all of the exact same choices, all of

782
00:55:54,760 --> 00:56:00,680
Speaker 2: them could be as simple as like how it impact

783
00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:06,480
Speaker 2: the rest of his life. The deciding factor could be

784
00:56:07,880 --> 00:56:12,399
Speaker 2: did someone I've never met twenty minutes before I got

785
00:56:12,400 --> 00:56:15,840
Speaker 2: into my car put their seat belt on or not?

786
00:56:17,480 --> 00:56:21,600
Speaker 2: Oh they did? Well, Now, this is going to end

787
00:56:21,680 --> 00:56:27,680
Speaker 2: up being a misdemeanor, you know, community service situation versus

788
00:56:28,120 --> 00:56:31,560
Speaker 2: I'm looking at prison. This is going to end up

789
00:56:31,600 --> 00:56:39,240
Speaker 2: being a maybe one game league suspension versus I'm kicked

790
00:56:39,280 --> 00:56:42,560
Speaker 2: out of the NFL. This is going to be, oh

791
00:56:42,600 --> 00:56:48,680
Speaker 2: my gosh, what a scary moment versus the thing that

792
00:56:48,760 --> 00:56:53,319
Speaker 2: you think about every night before you fall asleep and

793
00:56:53,480 --> 00:56:57,919
Speaker 2: every morning when you wake up. All of your decisions

794
00:56:58,280 --> 00:57:03,640
Speaker 2: the exact same, and the difference is whether someone you'd

795
00:57:03,680 --> 00:57:07,439
Speaker 2: never met put on a seatbelt, whether someone you'd never

796
00:57:07,560 --> 00:57:11,040
Speaker 2: met you know, got on the highway at that exact

797
00:57:11,080 --> 00:57:13,960
Speaker 2: moment or two seconds earlier. All of it is just

798
00:57:14,080 --> 00:57:19,840
Speaker 2: left to chance, and that is a terrifying reality of life.

799
00:57:20,360 --> 00:57:23,800
Speaker 2: But it also is when it comes to this specific

800
00:57:24,080 --> 00:57:27,720
Speaker 2: type of incident, how we as a society have decided

801
00:57:27,720 --> 00:57:33,960
Speaker 2: to punish it. We we don't punish anything related to

802
00:57:34,120 --> 00:57:40,720
Speaker 2: driving intoxicated or not reckless driving based on decision making.

803
00:57:41,160 --> 00:57:47,280
Speaker 2: We do it based on impact. And like if Henry

804
00:57:47,400 --> 00:57:54,160
Speaker 2: Ruggs in his situation, everything was the exact same, but

805
00:57:54,240 --> 00:57:59,320
Speaker 2: the person whose car he hit, they were totally fine.

806
00:57:59,400 --> 00:58:03,720
Speaker 2: He's I don't even know if he spends a night

807
00:58:03,800 --> 00:58:08,800
Speaker 2: in jail. Instead it's years in jail that person's like,

808
00:58:09,800 --> 00:58:14,960
Speaker 2: And so it is. That's where we're at on Like

809
00:58:15,040 --> 00:58:17,000
Speaker 2: you want my opinion on the Rashi Rice thing, that's

810
00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:20,280
Speaker 2: where it is. I think he.

811
00:58:21,920 --> 00:58:21,960
Speaker 5: It.

812
00:58:22,840 --> 00:58:25,920
Speaker 2: You know, if the videos and stories are true. He

813
00:58:26,080 --> 00:58:32,959
Speaker 2: made an incredibly reckless decision that put obviously a ton

814
00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:37,560
Speaker 2: of people who he never met in jeopardy. And I

815
00:58:37,600 --> 00:58:40,880
Speaker 2: think probably, I don't want to say, gonna get away

816
00:58:40,920 --> 00:58:43,800
Speaker 2: with it, but like it's probably gonna be pretty minor.

817
00:58:44,360 --> 00:58:46,560
Speaker 2: That's why I think it's gonna happen. Should that be

818
00:58:46,640 --> 00:58:50,160
Speaker 2: how we do it? Probably not. But then we have

819
00:58:50,200 --> 00:58:52,800
Speaker 2: a real weird thing where if we don't do those

820
00:58:52,840 --> 00:58:55,960
Speaker 2: things based on impact, then what do we want the

821
00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:58,520
Speaker 2: penalty for drunk driving to be? Do we want the

822
00:58:58,520 --> 00:59:00,600
Speaker 2: penalty for drunk driving to be Well, you could have

823
00:59:00,720 --> 00:59:04,560
Speaker 2: killed someone, So a DUI is mandatory five years. And

824
00:59:04,600 --> 00:59:06,160
Speaker 2: by the way, I don't even think she was drunk,

825
00:59:06,200 --> 00:59:09,200
Speaker 2: but just using that it's a weird That's like a

826
00:59:09,200 --> 00:59:13,280
Speaker 2: whole different thought exercise here of how we want to

827
00:59:13,360 --> 00:59:16,960
Speaker 2: handle those types of things. Should it be based on

828
00:59:17,040 --> 00:59:20,240
Speaker 2: impact or based on action? When it comes to things

829
00:59:20,240 --> 00:59:22,680
Speaker 2: with our cars, we have kind of decided it's based

830
00:59:22,720 --> 00:59:26,880
Speaker 2: on impact. And because of that, I think he's gonna

831
00:59:27,320 --> 00:59:30,160
Speaker 2: I think he's going to be okay. I hope he

832
00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:33,920
Speaker 2: learns from it. And this is why driving is, like

833
00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:37,200
Speaker 2: I said, the single scariest and most dangerous thing any

834
00:59:37,240 --> 00:59:40,960
Speaker 2: of us. Do quick break, comeback play likely maybe what if?

835
00:59:40,960 --> 00:59:42,880
Speaker 2: And try to answer some of your questions. What's right?

836
00:59:48,000 --> 00:59:51,840
Speaker 2: Demon's I got some bad news. I think our producers

837
00:59:51,880 --> 00:59:55,320
Speaker 2: might have got got that twelve point two million number

838
00:59:55,320 --> 00:59:58,400
Speaker 2: that I said that I was told was the rating

839
00:59:58,560 --> 01:00:02,280
Speaker 2: for the women's game. I think they either misread something

840
01:00:02,440 --> 01:00:05,800
Speaker 2: or fake news or something. I was surprised that rating

841
01:00:05,840 --> 01:00:10,640
Speaker 2: would be out already, so so I apologize to the audience.

842
01:00:11,360 --> 01:00:15,280
Speaker 2: If you think the twelve million, I think is in play.

843
01:00:15,760 --> 01:00:18,320
Speaker 2: It seemed high, but I think it's in play. But

844
01:00:18,400 --> 01:00:21,240
Speaker 2: we'll see. But for the audience out there, if you

845
01:00:21,360 --> 01:00:24,680
Speaker 2: texted your friends that it was twelve million, you tried

846
01:00:24,720 --> 01:00:27,680
Speaker 2: to cash in your bets on the rating. We gave

847
01:00:27,720 --> 01:00:30,320
Speaker 2: you bad news. We gave you fake news. I apologize

848
01:00:30,400 --> 01:00:32,919
Speaker 2: so that that number is not in yet. I do

849
01:00:33,040 --> 01:00:36,480
Speaker 2: have from a more reliable source. I do have the

850
01:00:36,600 --> 01:00:40,880
Speaker 2: rating number for the men's game on Easter. The men's

851
01:00:40,920 --> 01:00:45,520
Speaker 2: games on Easter Tennessee, Perdue did ten point four million.

852
01:00:46,320 --> 01:00:53,840
Speaker 2: NC State Duke did fifteen million. And Colorado, Iowa was

853
01:00:53,880 --> 01:00:57,240
Speaker 2: that the hold on Colorado Iowa? Oh? That was the

854
01:00:58,200 --> 01:01:01,840
Speaker 2: Iowa women's game did seven million. If Colorado, Ohiowa did

855
01:01:01,920 --> 01:01:06,040
Speaker 2: seven million, then I then I think it's uh.

856
01:01:06,800 --> 01:01:09,600
Speaker 4: Then I think it's yeah.

857
01:01:09,640 --> 01:01:11,760
Speaker 2: I think twelve million might be in play. All right,

858
01:01:11,840 --> 01:01:14,800
Speaker 2: let's play. Let's quickly do this and then answer some

859
01:01:14,880 --> 01:01:17,200
Speaker 2: listener questions. Play a game of likely maybe, what if?

860
01:01:18,120 --> 01:01:21,160
Speaker 4: Yes? All right, so we're starting off. Something is not

861
01:01:21,280 --> 01:01:21,840
Speaker 4: adding up.

862
01:01:21,840 --> 01:01:25,760
Speaker 3: In Cleveland, Calves owner Dan Gilbert said he thinks Donovan

863
01:01:25,760 --> 01:01:28,600
Speaker 3: Mitchell sign an extension, but Mitchell isn't talking like a

864
01:01:28,600 --> 01:01:31,440
Speaker 3: player that's about the sign an extension. After a blowout

865
01:01:31,440 --> 01:01:34,480
Speaker 3: in Denver, he said, it's effing April. We've got to

866
01:01:34,480 --> 01:01:37,440
Speaker 3: figure it out. What is Donovan Mitchell's future?

867
01:01:40,040 --> 01:01:45,840
Speaker 2: He's likely traded this summer, Maybe he signs that extension

868
01:01:46,800 --> 01:01:49,880
Speaker 2: or I guess the what if is what if the

869
01:01:49,920 --> 01:01:52,160
Speaker 2: Calves just hold on to him and then he potentially

870
01:01:52,200 --> 01:01:54,360
Speaker 2: walks in a year. But I think he is the

871
01:01:54,440 --> 01:01:58,920
Speaker 2: big ticket guy that gets traded this summer, potentially to Philly.

872
01:01:59,560 --> 01:02:01,280
Speaker 2: I'm sure he'd love to go to Miami.

873
01:02:01,720 --> 01:02:02,080
Speaker 4: I don't.

874
01:02:02,120 --> 01:02:04,160
Speaker 2: I think the Knicks are happy where they're at. Next.

875
01:02:04,960 --> 01:02:08,040
Speaker 3: Okay, Michael Pennocks junior Wow, did his Pro day running

876
01:02:08,040 --> 01:02:11,080
Speaker 3: a four four six forty and he has already been

877
01:02:11,080 --> 01:02:14,200
Speaker 3: connected with half a dozen teams. What will Michael Pennock's

878
01:02:14,240 --> 01:02:17,560
Speaker 3: future or draft day look like?

879
01:02:17,560 --> 01:02:22,640
Speaker 2: Likely? I think he's gonna be, unfortunately the sixth quarterback

880
01:02:22,720 --> 01:02:28,520
Speaker 2: off the board. Caleb Drake, Jase J McCarthy, Jayden Daniels,

881
01:02:28,560 --> 01:02:31,320
Speaker 2: and weirdly bow Nicks I think are gonna go ahead

882
01:02:31,320 --> 01:02:39,720
Speaker 2: of him. Maybe if Pennix is there at thirteen, which

883
01:02:39,760 --> 01:02:42,480
Speaker 2: he should be, the Raiders take him, and then the

884
01:02:42,520 --> 01:02:49,480
Speaker 2: what if is what if the Patriots trade out of

885
01:02:49,720 --> 01:02:56,040
Speaker 2: three to acquire extra picks and then draft him with

886
01:02:56,240 --> 01:02:59,960
Speaker 2: at the very top of round two. If the Patriots

887
01:03:00,080 --> 01:03:02,040
Speaker 2: right out of three for something that wants JJ, I

888
01:03:02,080 --> 01:03:05,280
Speaker 2: think that's what if. I think more likely he is

889
01:03:06,280 --> 01:03:09,120
Speaker 2: the sixth quarterback taken, which still could make him a

890
01:03:09,120 --> 01:03:10,640
Speaker 2: first round pick in this year's draft.

891
01:03:10,680 --> 01:03:13,320
Speaker 3: All right, next, All right, so Zach and He's draft

892
01:03:13,360 --> 01:03:16,760
Speaker 3: stock has been skyrocketing, but many still question if his size,

893
01:03:17,200 --> 01:03:20,280
Speaker 3: his size and limitations will translate to the NBA. But

894
01:03:20,760 --> 01:03:22,800
Speaker 3: the NBA still has a referee, so he's probably got

895
01:03:22,800 --> 01:03:25,280
Speaker 3: a chance. What will Edie's career look like?

896
01:03:27,320 --> 01:03:31,640
Speaker 2: I mean, a career backup is likely like a better

897
01:03:31,760 --> 01:03:36,080
Speaker 2: version of Bobon And that's not a knock like Boban's

898
01:03:36,080 --> 01:03:38,960
Speaker 2: a great offensive player. I think Edie's a better offensive player.

899
01:03:39,160 --> 01:03:41,560
Speaker 2: The problem for Boban is he just can't move, so

900
01:03:41,760 --> 01:03:44,560
Speaker 2: he's just a terrible defender despite being how big he is.

901
01:03:44,840 --> 01:03:46,640
Speaker 2: I think that's what Edie will be. I think he'll

902
01:03:46,640 --> 01:03:53,080
Speaker 2: be a backup center in the NBA. Maybe there is

903
01:03:53,120 --> 01:03:56,120
Speaker 2: a team that wants to just go super like I

904
01:03:56,240 --> 01:04:00,600
Speaker 2: saw Kevin O'Connor project that the Thunder could raft him

905
01:04:01,120 --> 01:04:05,480
Speaker 2: and use chet like as his defensive backstop and just

906
01:04:05,560 --> 01:04:09,520
Speaker 2: have like this super giant team maybe, And then the

907
01:04:09,560 --> 01:04:14,160
Speaker 2: what if is unfortunately, what if is Zach Edy's career is,

908
01:04:15,080 --> 01:04:20,480
Speaker 2: you know, owning the most popular string of car dealerships

909
01:04:20,520 --> 01:04:23,960
Speaker 2: in the greater Purdue area. Like that's possible too, Like

910
01:04:24,040 --> 01:04:27,040
Speaker 2: that he's a collegiate legend that it just doesn't train

911
01:04:27,160 --> 01:04:30,600
Speaker 2: like a perdue legend forever, but it just doesn't translate

912
01:04:30,640 --> 01:04:33,960
Speaker 2: to the NBA. Like that's on the board. Uh, And

913
01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:36,160
Speaker 2: so that you can be a great college player and

914
01:04:36,160 --> 01:04:38,840
Speaker 2: not a great pro, particularly as the NBA is changing.

915
01:04:38,880 --> 01:04:41,040
Speaker 4: All right, next, I'd get a car from Zach Edy.

916
01:04:41,760 --> 01:04:44,600
Speaker 3: So NC State big man DJ Burns has got the

917
01:04:44,640 --> 01:04:45,360
Speaker 3: town talking.

918
01:04:46,000 --> 01:04:47,439
Speaker 4: Even Yoga said he likes his.

919
01:04:47,360 --> 01:04:50,120
Speaker 3: Game, of course, and now Schrager is reporting there could

920
01:04:50,160 --> 01:04:52,720
Speaker 3: be NFL interest due to his size and footwork.

921
01:04:53,120 --> 01:04:54,880
Speaker 4: What is Burn's professional future?

922
01:04:56,680 --> 01:05:00,200
Speaker 2: I think he'll try I think he'll I try out

923
01:05:00,240 --> 01:05:03,480
Speaker 2: for the end. I think it's likely he tries out

924
01:05:03,480 --> 01:05:07,120
Speaker 2: for the NFL and maybe gets invited to a camp,

925
01:05:08,200 --> 01:05:12,640
Speaker 2: uh and then ends up playing professional basketball overseas. That's

926
01:05:12,680 --> 01:05:20,120
Speaker 2: the likely maybe. Uh. He just says no, I have

927
01:05:20,200 --> 01:05:22,120
Speaker 2: no interest. In playing football and basketball player and he

928
01:05:22,240 --> 01:05:27,360
Speaker 2: just goes overseas. What if he's awesome at football six ' eight,

929
01:05:27,960 --> 01:05:30,440
Speaker 2: can move his feet, put on some weight, and go

930
01:05:30,560 --> 01:05:32,680
Speaker 2: kick ass in the NFL, that would be great. I

931
01:05:32,680 --> 01:05:35,320
Speaker 2: think that's unlikely, but I think it's on the board.

932
01:05:35,320 --> 01:05:39,920
Speaker 2: All right, let's get to the listener questions. Uh, Dylan

933
01:05:40,000 --> 01:05:44,440
Speaker 2: Mayle says, uh uh for Demanse's diner shades, are we

934
01:05:44,520 --> 01:05:50,680
Speaker 2: thinking Gucci, Louis Vutan or Dior? Uh? I just you

935
01:05:50,760 --> 01:05:57,960
Speaker 2: gotta reference everybody there their name brand, but not get it.

936
01:05:58,080 --> 01:05:58,600
Speaker 4: I get it.

937
01:05:59,640 --> 01:06:03,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I probably have to go goot. Actually no, I

938
01:06:04,040 --> 01:06:06,640
Speaker 3: have to go leave Aiton. I think Gucci's got something

939
01:06:06,680 --> 01:06:07,640
Speaker 3: going on with it right now.

940
01:06:07,640 --> 01:06:08,240
Speaker 4: I'm not sure.

941
01:06:09,000 --> 01:06:12,600
Speaker 2: Oh really, Okay, I'll look into that. Uh, we might

942
01:06:12,640 --> 01:06:15,200
Speaker 2: have an in at Versace, so the answer might.

943
01:06:16,200 --> 01:06:18,720
Speaker 4: Right Versachi, Yeah, we might have that wasn't.

944
01:06:20,240 --> 01:06:22,680
Speaker 2: He doesn't care. I mean, they'd be a.

945
01:06:22,640 --> 01:06:28,600
Speaker 4: Gift, so do I. Thomas Washington? How much?

946
01:06:28,760 --> 01:06:31,479
Speaker 3: How much did Magic Johnson get paid his first deal?

947
01:06:32,440 --> 01:06:34,680
Speaker 3: She's oh, he's talking Aboutkayln Clark.

948
01:06:34,880 --> 01:06:35,200
Speaker 4: Magic.

949
01:06:35,440 --> 01:06:38,360
Speaker 3: She's the Magic Johnson, the w NBA. It's her job

950
01:06:38,400 --> 01:06:41,200
Speaker 3: to build the brand, not the NBA. To subsidize it.

951
01:06:42,120 --> 01:06:46,000
Speaker 2: Okay, that's Thomas Washington. I understand that. But when Magic

952
01:06:46,080 --> 01:06:50,040
Speaker 2: got drafted, the ABA had already folded. Magic wasn't making

953
01:06:50,080 --> 01:06:54,000
Speaker 2: the equivalent of seventy grand in today's dollars. First of all,

954
01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:57,600
Speaker 2: and second of all, you can it is not about

955
01:06:57,600 --> 01:07:00,920
Speaker 2: the NBA subsidizing it. It is about whether or not

956
01:07:01,880 --> 01:07:06,560
Speaker 2: the NBA and the WNBA collectively want a risk someone

957
01:07:06,600 --> 01:07:12,360
Speaker 2: else parachuting in and stealing this moment by acquiring the

958
01:07:12,400 --> 01:07:15,880
Speaker 2: star power that College Basco's built up for him. It's

959
01:07:15,920 --> 01:07:19,439
Speaker 2: not a charity. It's about business, and I think right

960
01:07:19,480 --> 01:07:23,080
Speaker 2: now the WNBA is in a position and the NBA's

961
01:07:23,120 --> 01:07:28,480
Speaker 2: partners with it to capitalize on the millions of people

962
01:07:28,920 --> 01:07:32,560
Speaker 2: that are into these athletes that they got. You know,

963
01:07:32,600 --> 01:07:39,200
Speaker 2: there were stars absent of the leagues. Go ahead, let's

964
01:07:39,200 --> 01:07:40,040
Speaker 2: do Tay Jones.

965
01:07:40,960 --> 01:07:44,440
Speaker 3: Ty Jones, the question for Nick what team should should

966
01:07:44,480 --> 01:07:45,400
Speaker 3: the Spurs look at.

967
01:07:45,400 --> 01:07:47,720
Speaker 4: As the blueprint on how to build around Limby.

968
01:07:49,680 --> 01:07:52,840
Speaker 2: Probably the Spurs on how they built around Duncan. Now,

969
01:07:52,920 --> 01:07:56,680
Speaker 2: Duncan obviously had Robinson right when he got there. Just

970
01:07:56,760 --> 01:07:59,840
Speaker 2: don't try to microwave it. Don't do what the pell

971
01:08:00,360 --> 01:08:02,120
Speaker 2: dial with Anthony Davis and what the Calves did with

972
01:08:02,200 --> 01:08:04,680
Speaker 2: Lebron which is recognized. Oh my god, he's so good

973
01:08:04,680 --> 01:08:07,560
Speaker 2: as a rookie. Let's just go all in right now,

974
01:08:07,920 --> 01:08:10,400
Speaker 2: take the long view. There's a reason the Calves and

975
01:08:10,400 --> 01:08:14,520
Speaker 2: Pelicans were never able to build contenders around those great players.

976
01:08:14,560 --> 01:08:20,280
Speaker 2: All right, last one, he's freaking crazy.

977
01:08:20,720 --> 01:08:24,040
Speaker 3: Roan Sherrington says, Demand knows he's indoors right.

978
01:08:25,200 --> 01:08:29,680
Speaker 2: It's his new look. Demand's going for a look. I

979
01:08:29,800 --> 01:08:34,120
Speaker 2: encouraged it. Demanse was unsure about wearing it today. But

980
01:08:34,280 --> 01:08:36,639
Speaker 2: the problem was this if that if you didn't stick

981
01:08:36,680 --> 01:08:39,320
Speaker 2: with it, then people were gonna think that it wasn't

982
01:08:39,320 --> 01:08:41,200
Speaker 2: a look. It was just that you were covering up

983
01:08:41,200 --> 01:08:43,120
Speaker 2: a black eye or something you've got in a fight.

984
01:08:43,439 --> 01:08:46,120
Speaker 2: So he got to stay committed to it. And I

985
01:08:46,160 --> 01:08:49,519
Speaker 2: also think that's a good point, exactly right. I also

986
01:08:49,560 --> 01:08:51,280
Speaker 2: think it's a good look. He's tried out a bunch

987
01:08:51,280 --> 01:08:54,719
Speaker 2: of different sunglasses that you get in the little spinny

988
01:08:54,760 --> 01:08:57,559
Speaker 2: thing at Walgreens for acebox, and he's gonna get some

989
01:08:57,680 --> 01:09:00,479
Speaker 2: nice ones when I see him in a week. Good
