35
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:18,959
Speaker 1: and we're going to start here right now. The Iceman conversation.

36
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 1: We got to start here, and we got to have

37
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 1: that conversation because obviously it's come out that the original Iceman.

38
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 3: Is really really bothered by.

39
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: The idea that the new Iceman is going for the

40
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 1: trademark of what's going on. So George Gerving obviously being

41
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: considered the original New York Knickerbocker Iceman and Caleb Williams

42
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: being the new Iceman and going for the official trademark.

43
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 3: Is there debate here? Should should?

44
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 4: Should?

45
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: The original iceman be offended by the idea that, well,

46
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams wants to trademarket and seemingly it seems as

47
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 1: though he's going to be able to trademarket.

48
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 5: I don't think he should be offended. But to me,

49
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 5: there's only one iceman, and that is finger Roll. That's

50
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 5: that That was a NASA. That is George Gervin. I

51
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 5: understand it. It's close, So he's gonna he's going to

52
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 5: contest it, obviously, because that is the nickname that George

53
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 5: Gervin was given in the NBA back in the seventies

54
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 5: as being the best player in the league at that time,

55
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 5: and he was. He was giving that nickname because it

56
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 5: was just so cold. He would get to that finger

57
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 5: Roll and he would not just put it in the basket.

58
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 5: He would actually like throw it up in the air,

59
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 5: you know, two or three feet over a defenders and

60
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 5: it was just going to rims swish. It was one

61
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 5: of the colder it's still one of the coldest moves

62
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 5: we've ever seen. Kaylen Williams, I didn't even know his name.

63
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 5: His nickname was that.

64
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:18,359
Speaker 3: I didn't know that either.

65
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 5: I did not know that, so I guess it came

66
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 5: off of the one play that he made the which

67
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 5: was a great play, a great throw. But I don't

68
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 5: think that you can just you can't give yourself a nickname,

69
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 5: all right. So with that being said, I didn't know

70
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 5: his nickname was the ice Man. I learned something new.

71
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 5: You didn't know. So if his nickname is the ice Man,

72
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 5: then who gave it to him? Because I've never heard

73
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 5: it mentioning when he was in college or in pro football.

74
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 5: But I would assume this nickname has arisen because of

75
00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 5: the throw that he made to come back and win

76
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 5: the football game. But if I'm George Gervin, absolutely I'm

77
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 5: going to contest this trademark because we all know when

78
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 5: you say George Gervin, what follows after that? Ice Iceman.

79
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 1: All Right, here's what I'm gonna say to it. There's

80
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 1: a year nineteen sixty three. Nineteen sixty three was the

81
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: year that an x man was born and he was

82
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: called Iceman. Now I know this is sports related, but

83
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 1: if anyone should be offended by going for a trademark,

84
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 1: like these guys got nicknames, and I get that George

85
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 1: got the nickname for his finger roll and.

86
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 3: How cold it was. I get it.

87
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: But I'm a comic book fan and my brother was

88
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,720
Speaker 1: a big comic book collector, and so I used to

89
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,039
Speaker 1: read his comic book sometimes. I don't even know why,

90
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 1: but I rip him up. I don't know why I

91
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: break his toys, but that was my thing. But he

92
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: had a whole bunch of original comic books and one

93
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: of them was Iceman. Now, the character itself was created

94
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 1: in nineteen sixty three, which predates even George Gervin. So

95
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: when I saw the debate, if I'm George Gervin, am

96
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 1: I bothered by it?

97
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 4: Yes?

98
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:40,359
Speaker 3: I'm bothered by it? But can you fight for.

99
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: A name that wasn't originally created for you, like if

100
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: it had came, If the name Iceman came and derived

101
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: through giving it to George gerving this is the Iceman,

102
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:59,039
Speaker 1: Like they created a character on X Men or wherever

103
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:03,280
Speaker 1: else because of them hearing Iceman from George Gervin.

104
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 3: Then I get it.

105
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 1: But wouldn't you think that this is a debate for

106
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: who is it?

107
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 4: Is it?

108
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,679
Speaker 3: Who does? Who does X Men? Is that? Is that Marvel?

109
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 4: But it's a fictional It's a fictional character.

110
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, but that's where the name came from.

111
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 5: I know that, but we have seen uh players and

112
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 5: people be named after fictional characters.

113
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:32,239
Speaker 4: Right, that's the whole.

114
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 3: And what about Cam Newton and Superman? Right, man of Steel?

115
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: He can't be bad if they call somebody else man

116
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: of Steel, you can't and he probably can't get Now,

117
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: this is what's crazy, is that it's trademarkable, Like you

118
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: can trademark Iceman like that's that's that is Like I

119
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: don't comprehend that, Like I would have thought that Iceman

120
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: and had been parked trademark wise been parked.

121
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 4: But why because why because it was a cartoon character.

122
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 3: Yes, no, I would have thought.

123
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 4: So that's not real life.

124
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 1: So you're telling me Wolverine wouldn't be trademarked by somebody

125
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 1: or something.

126
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 5: So who is going to contest the trademark of an

127
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 5: Iceman or Superman the person that wrote the comic.

128
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: I think you got to get into the legalities of

129
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 1: what it represents and and.

130
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 4: But it's not a real person.

131
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 3: It's not, but it's it is.

132
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 1: It doesn't have to be a real person to be

133
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 1: trademarkable for one, but for two, then there's different cap.

134
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 4: I don't believe that. I don't believe that.

135
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, it doesn't have to be a person like you could.

136
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 1: You could trademark like I have stick City trademark. That's

137
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 1: not a person. That's just it's like I can use

138
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: stick City for a pail. I can use stick City

139
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,079
Speaker 1: for right, we're talking about.

140
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,079
Speaker 4: Fictional characters versus people.

141
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you don't have to be you don't have

142
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:05,319
Speaker 1: to be a person to have have it trademarked.

143
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know that.

144
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, you see what I'm saying.

145
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: So so the point, I guess, the point that I'm

146
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 1: making is is that Iceman was here before George Gerving

147
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 1: got Iceman. And there are other people in sports that

148
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 1: have had the name Iceman.

149
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:22,439
Speaker 3: Like there's been.

150
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 1: A Formula One driver that had it. I can't even

151
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 1: say his name, Kimmy Kimmy Rocket.

152
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 4: He may have been. There may have been athletes or

153
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:39,439
Speaker 4: people that clicked down.

154
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,439
Speaker 3: Chuck is called the Iceman, but he never.

155
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,439
Speaker 5: Tried to trademark it. It was a nickname given to him.

156
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 5: It's a totally different program.

157
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: Well, but they gave it to Caleb the nickname, and

158
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 1: he liked it and he wants to benefit from it.

159
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 1: He did the research on it, and apparently the name

160
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: is not trademarked.

161
00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 4: I just asked you the question.

162
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 5: Who even the nickname because we didn't even know his

163
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:03,439
Speaker 5: name was the Iceman.

164
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 3: I don't know.

165
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,680
Speaker 4: He gave himself his own nickname. You can't do that.

166
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 3: That's against the rules. Let's see, I.

167
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 4: Don't know who.

168
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 1: Babe, Caleb Williams, don't see. We gotta find out the nickname.

169
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,560
Speaker 1: I never heard nobody call him the Iceman. I never

170
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 1: heard it, not one time, not one time. I've never

171
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:34,959
Speaker 1: But I'm not in the market, so here we go.

172
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 1: It emerged originally from Chicago Bears teammates and fans during

173
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty five seasons, described his composed fourth quarter

174
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: comeback style. Now nickname was linked to a pivotal playoff play.

175
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 1: Let told you a trademark dispute with NBA legend George Iceman.

176
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 4: That's what I said.

177
00:10:56,040 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 5: It had to be that one moment and they, I

178
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,199
Speaker 5: guess you had ice water when he made to throw

179
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 5: and all of a sudden, off of one pass and

180
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 5: play his nickname is the Iceman.

181
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 1: No man, all right, all right, let me ask you this.

182
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this before we get to the break.

183
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this for for Caleb Williams to

184
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 1: do to do this, right, Like, for him to do this,

185
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 1: I'm how how do you justify it in your mind

186
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 1: to say I'm going to trademark this? When you do

187
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 1: you think he has any idea who George Gervin is?

188
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 1: Could this just be a simple misunderstanding? And is this

189
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: a bad look? That's that's what I really want to know.

190
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 1: Is this a bad look for Caleb Williams to do this?

191
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 1: Because most people, most younger people generations right now, they

192
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 1: probably don't even remember the Iceman George Gervin.

193
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:54,680
Speaker 3: They probably only remember him.

194
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 4: I wouldn't be surprised.

195
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 1: So it's I mean, is this much to do about

196
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 1: nothing for him? What is George Gervin making off of

197
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 1: the name Iceman?

198
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 4: Is he?

199
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 1: Do you see anybody walking around with Iceman shirts on

200
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: and stuff like that?

201
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 3: Like I don't.

202
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, I still see.

203
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 1: I know you in that area, you still see George.

204
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 5: One of the most iconic photos of George. See it's no,

205
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:21,719
Speaker 5: it's him sitting.

206
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,839
Speaker 3: On a block of ice, right right, that's what.

207
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:27,560
Speaker 4: He's sitting on. It's a block of ice because it's

208
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 4: just that cold cold.

209
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, So I don't know if it's a bad look

210
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 5: for Cayleb but not maybe these some of these young

211
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,439
Speaker 5: guys don't know understand the history.

212
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 3: He was a respecting.

213
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 1: He's disrespecting the history of athletics and sports by trade market.

214
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 4: I guarantee you this.

215
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 5: He absolutely probably thought nothing about it when he went

216
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 5: to go get the trademarked at nobody or George. Somebody

217
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 5: had to and contested.

218
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 1: Somebody had to say it to Caleb Williams, you do

219
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 1: you know that you're you're not the original Iceman for

220
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 1: one and two, the man most known notably for the

221
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 1: nickname is historical New York nick by the name.

222
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 3: Of George Gervin.

223
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 1: That that had to be explained to him, say that

224
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 1: had to be explained to him.

225
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 4: It had to be. But they don't care.

226
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 3: It's strange. That's that. That's a little strange to me.

00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 8: Leonard and Roberto Duran like it was like no moss.

317
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 8: Like That's how I felt when I saw that shot

318
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 8: go win from Brus Bullen, as oh my.

319
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,959
Speaker 1: God, there was no fight left after that though, like

320
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:18,160
Speaker 1: it was over. They won. Roberto Duran had more tab left.

321
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 1: He didn't want no more.

322
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:24,120
Speaker 8: That was the definition of when they say when something

323
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 8: knocks all the win out of your sales.

324
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:27,880
Speaker 4: Like that, I was on the.

325
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:32,360
Speaker 8: Living room floor on my knees, man, like why us.

326
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 7: Why did this keep happening to us guys?

327
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,920
Speaker 4: But you think I don't know.

328
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,120
Speaker 8: I think I have the answers, but if we want

329
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 8: to break down that game real quick, I just can't

330
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 8: believe that Caleb Foster was not on the floor.

331
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 4: It was not in the game.

332
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 3: Why you think that is?

333
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:47,959
Speaker 4: Is that?

334
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,119
Speaker 3: Was that a coaching air? Was that? Was that a

335
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 3: major gaff?

336
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 1: Like? Walk us through it, give us, give us some

337
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 1: insight on this game. In particular, like John Shire.

338
00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 8: He's done a magnificent, magnificent job like taking over for

339
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 8: coach k So I'm not one of these fans that's

340
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 8: in the heated a moment because a lot of the

341
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 8: fan base right now is feeling like Shire can get

342
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,159
Speaker 8: over the hump, and he's starting to be on the

343
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 8: hot seat because we saw the last couple of years

344
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:16,120
Speaker 8: Duke has blown these late game situations like last year

345
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,159
Speaker 8: against Houston, they couldn't get the ball in bounds. They

346
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,919
Speaker 8: lost a chance to win that championship with Cooper flag.

347
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 7: Now you fast forward this year.

348
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 8: The Boozer Twins, you got a chance to really win

349
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 8: this thing and get over the hump, right and then

350
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 8: the last play it comes down to execution, and I

351
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 8: just feel like we can say they should have called

352
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 8: the time out. But sometimes as a coach if any

353
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 8: level of basketball don't matter, if you coach wreck ball

354
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 8: all the way up.

355
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 7: To the pros.

356
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 8: A lot of times coaches get caught in the game

357
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:46,639
Speaker 8: just like the players do.

358
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 7: And if you watch the replay, Shire was really like

359
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 7: he was frozen in that moment. So looking back on it.

360
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 8: Yes, Taylor Foster, I feel like your junior point guard,

361
00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 8: I don't think he would have tried to make that play.

362
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 8: He would have held the ball there because all you

363
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 8: had to do there was hold the ball, make them

364
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:06,679
Speaker 8: file you your order clock runs out. You know, it

365
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 8: was only ten seconds left when they inbounded that ball there,

366
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 8: So oh man, because they were right there on the

367
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 8: cuff of getting over the hump, I feel like.

368
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:18,719
Speaker 5: So cussin when you're talking about it comes down to

369
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:23,879
Speaker 5: the execution. The execution part of the game for Duke

370
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 5: started in the second half. Because I was saying earlier,

371
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 5: I just do not see any team in the country

372
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:36,639
Speaker 5: overcoming a fifteen point deficit to any Duke Blue Devil

373
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 5: basketball team. So when you talk about the execution, I

374
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 5: mean what happened defensively offensively for this for this team

375
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 5: down the stretch, because I can't remember any time, especially

376
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 5: a John Shy coach basketball team or coach k to

377
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 5: be up fifteen points on the verge of going to

378
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 5: the Final four, and it was just an ultimate collapse

379
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:07,239
Speaker 5: based off of the first half, the way that they

380
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 5: played that game. The game was up to nineteen point

381
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,679
Speaker 5: lead at one time. Man, I'm saying this game is

382
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 5: over with because nobody's going to come back on the

383
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 5: Duke basketball team on the verge of the Final four

384
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 5: down fifteen and just like you said, they.

385
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:27,400
Speaker 4: Just can't get of old hump.

386
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,120
Speaker 5: I thought they had the best basketball team last year

387
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,679
Speaker 5: with Cooper Flag and now this happens. So when you

388
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 5: talk about the execution, it was a whole lapse from

389
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 5: the team going into the second half versus Yukon.

390
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:43,880
Speaker 3: Man.

391
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,479
Speaker 8: I love Duke basketball, like I said, but we got

392
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 8: to look at the glaring the glaring stat Duke is

393
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 8: the only one seed to ever lose after leading by

394
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 8: fifteen plus points at halftime one.

395
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:57,680
Speaker 7: Thirty four and one.

396
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 8: They're the only team to ever blow a fifteen point

397
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 8: plus had pim lead as a one seed. That's why

398
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 8: I think the whole fan base is really really sick

399
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 8: this morning, because they had the team to do this

400
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 8: and like last year, you saw they was up fourteen

401
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 8: against Houston in the Final four last year.

402
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:15,399
Speaker 7: Couldn't get the ball in bounce.

403
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:18,360
Speaker 8: They did the same thing against Texas Tech a few

404
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,119
Speaker 8: years ago. They was up seventeen. They were up by

405
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 8: thirteen against North Carolina a few years ago and blew it.

406
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:24,680
Speaker 7: And then last night, like you.

407
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:26,919
Speaker 8: See, like you say, nineteen point leads.

408
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 7: And the thing that really bothers a lot.

409
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 8: Of Duke fans I feel like right now is that

410
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:36,120
Speaker 8: Duke had zero national titles since like two zoupand fifteen.

411
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 8: But look at the talent that's coming through. You got

412
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:44,159
Speaker 8: Ingram Lukenard, Jason Tatum, you got all these number one

413
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 8: draft picks, Zion Wims and RJ Barrett, Cam Ready, the

414
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 8: lift goes on and on, Palo Ban Caro, even Jared McCain,

415
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 8: Cooper Flagg, look at Konkin Nipple. This is the rookie

416
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 8: of the year, Cameron Boozer. Now, so the fan base

417
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,680
Speaker 8: is really starting to question, like we have these one

418
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:03,119
Speaker 8: and done guys right So the question I ask is,

419
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 8: does Duke need to recalibrate their strategy in recruiting because

420
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,880
Speaker 8: they're getting these one and done kids who have supreme

421
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 8: talent and confidence, but they have inexperience in March. And

422
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 8: as you see now the teams that's remaining, they have

423
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 8: family men on their roster. They have these twenty three

424
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,199
Speaker 8: year olds, twenty four year olds, Like look at the

425
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 8: kid mixed from Michigan, Jack Lindenburgh, Like he's like twenty

426
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 8: eight years old almost he went to high school with

427
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:33,879
Speaker 8: Jalen greenyhos guys, green is on the Phoenix Suns now, right.

428
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 7: You know what I'm saying.

429
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 8: So I feel like coach Shire has to redo his

430
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:39,399
Speaker 8: recruiting model.

431
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:40,879
Speaker 7: Now is different.

432
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,399
Speaker 8: Yeah, these freshmen can get you wins during the regular season.

433
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 8: Duke has great records of the last four years under Shire, right,

434
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 8: but they cannot get over the humps. So I feel

435
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:52,479
Speaker 8: like they got to go out here in the portal

436
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 8: and you bringing in these young kids like they got.

437
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:57,400
Speaker 8: They got the Ripley kid coming from New York. He's

438
00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 8: the top point guard in America. That's great, but you

439
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 8: gotta have an infusion of young talent and older veterans. Now,

440
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 8: as you see, that's the formula right now. Look at

441
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:08,879
Speaker 8: Illinois in the final four, Look at Michigan, Look at

442
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:12,680
Speaker 8: Arizona wildcat. Like I said, infusion of veterans. You got

443
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:15,159
Speaker 8: foreign players. Now, you got to go to Lithuania now

444
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 8: and get some of these these older Lithuanian kids, right, well, yes, yeah,

445
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 8: you gotta. You gotta upgrade your recruiting thing. And that's

446
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 8: that's what that's what I say should be the approach.

447
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 7: Now for Shire going forward.

448
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,399
Speaker 1: All Right, So we had a lot to say about

449
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 1: Duke going down to Yukon and which, by the way,

450
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 1: I mean Hurley has done an amazing job of staying

451
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:43,639
Speaker 1: relevant and staying competitive in this NIL era. With with

452
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 1: his team, it seemed improbable, as as Plex mentioned and

453
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 1: as you mentioned, for them to be able to win

454
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 1: and be where they're.

455
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:51,399
Speaker 3: At, but they did.

456
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 1: So you got Yukon, they're going to face off against Illinois,

457
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:57,959
Speaker 1: the fighting Alna, and then you got Arizona they're going

458
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 1: to face off against Michigan. We heard you mentioned, uh

459
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:03,880
Speaker 1: buddy from Michigan.

460
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 4: Uh.

461
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,440
Speaker 1: He also had some things to say about them being

462
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:12,640
Speaker 1: potentially the best Michigan team to have ever played. How

463
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,200
Speaker 1: are you looking at this final four cuffs? Like the

464
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 1: you got two one seeds going against each other, and

465
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 1: then you got a two and of three going against

466
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 1: each other. I asked, I asked plex earlier. Did the

467
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 1: did the basketball gods get this right? How do you

468
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 1: feel about this final four?

469
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,239
Speaker 8: They didn't get it right because Duke is not in

470
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 8: this final four, So.

471
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 4: That ain't got nothing to do with the question. Man,

472
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 4: don't bring your don't bring your emotions into the.

473
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:41,919
Speaker 3: Is in the way.

474
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 4: Don't bring your emotions in it.

475
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 3: Let me.

476
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 7: It's played to U. Let me, it's played to UI.

477
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 8: Now that Duke is out of the equation, the National

478
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 8: Championship game is going to be the winner of Michigan

479
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:56,160
Speaker 8: and Arizona. That's gonna be the national champion Because I'm

480
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 8: kind of.

481
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:57,160
Speaker 3: On the fence.

482
00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:00,199
Speaker 8: I'm torn because even like up on Game and Our

483
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 8: Joe on Saturday, we talked about Arizona wildcast and they're

484
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:04,640
Speaker 8: play for the guards.

485
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:05,439
Speaker 7: You got co.

486
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 8: Pede, you got the Birdy's kid, They're loaded, right. They

487
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 8: got infusion of young players and you know, some veterans.

488
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,880
Speaker 8: But this Michigan team, I feel like from top to bottom,

489
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 8: like look at Dusty may teams, like they're scoring over

490
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 8: ninety points every game in this tournament. They have depth,

491
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,359
Speaker 8: like Elliott Caddo has emerged even though you UNC turned

492
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 8: their back on him, Hubert Davids and them guys, they

493
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 8: turned it back on Elliot Kado. He looks like he's

494
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 8: going to get the last last. But I think it's

495
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 8: going to come down to Michigan having the best player

496
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 8: on the floor to match that depth they have.

497
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 7: And Yakso Lindenberg, I.

498
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:40,960
Speaker 8: Hope I'm not butchering your name, young man, but I

499
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 8: think he is going to be the person that puts

500
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:45,879
Speaker 8: Michigan over the top, like they got the big Man Marrow.

501
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:49,119
Speaker 8: He's seven three, you know, he looking like Kareem out center.

502
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 8: You see the jump hook in the footwork he got

503
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 8: like this Michigan team, man.

504
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 7: I don't know.

505
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 8: So I feel like we're going to get a barn

506
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 8: Burner on Saturday, and whoever wins the Arizona Michigan matchup

507
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:01,199
Speaker 8: is going to down the nets on Monday night.

508
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:04,400
Speaker 3: That's a strong take on it. Strong take.

509
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 1: You mentioned going to Lithuania and transfer portals and all

510
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:14,880
Speaker 1: that stuff. Don Staley said that it's about money versus

511
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:19,640
Speaker 1: loyalty anymore as it applies to uh, these these young

512
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:23,399
Speaker 1: athletes and athletes in college and the game. How is

513
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 1: that going to shape in your estimation, cuffs, how is

514
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 1: that going to shape?

515
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 3: Uh? The n c A A game moving forward.

516
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 8: And I think it's the wild wild West, like giving

517
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 8: an example of that, like Will Wade left NC State

518
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 8: after one season and he's the coach.

519
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 7: So that the coaches are doing that.

520
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 8: If the coaches are setting that president of no loyalty,

521
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:49,680
Speaker 8: but the coach is going to school's one year and coaching,

522
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 8: that's the ultimate definition of a stepping stone job, right, yes,

523
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:55,160
Speaker 8: And to go.

524
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 4: Back where he was fired from an l s U.

525
00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:00,680
Speaker 8: Yeah's insane, right, So I called I called away. He's

526
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:03,879
Speaker 8: the college basketball lane kiffing, right, Like, you can't trust

527
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 8: these guys. So I really can't blame the kids now

528
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 8: for saying, look, man, the same coach that recruited me,

529
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 8: he left the school after one year. So, like I said, it's.

530
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 3: The wild wild West.

531
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 8: And the bottom line is everybody has to do what's

532
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:19,359
Speaker 8: best with them in their family.

533
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 7: Now that's no excuse.

534
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,119
Speaker 8: Now I feel like, if I'm a player, I'm going

535
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 8: to elevate my opportunities.

536
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 7: Now I'm gonna maximize my eligibility.

537
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 8: Like think about how many college players that played in

538
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 8: the twenty ten or like back in you guys there right,

539
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 8: Will you guys advantage in the nineties, Will you guys

540
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 8: have taken advantage of this portal and use your flexibility

541
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 8: and use your leverage And it's like negotiations now, it's

542
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 8: just like the NBA or NFL contract negotiations.

543
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 1: I gotta be honest though, and we talked about it

544
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 1: earlier on the show. I would not have leveraged NIL

545
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 1: to go or look at other schools. I just that's

546
00:28:56,400 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 1: not to me. That just isn't how I'm built. Uh Now,

547
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 1: I would have been leveraging and trying to negotiate NIL

548
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 1: deals with brands. I would have been like, hey, like,

549
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 1: can can can I get a Nike deal?

550
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 3: It's a Nike school. Can I get a personal Nike brand?

551
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 3: Like I would have?

552
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:17,959
Speaker 1: You know, I saw how many eleven jerseys were being sold,

553
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 1: you know, I saw I saw the things that were

554
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 1: I saw the things that were being sold, like, let

555
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 1: me get a residual, you know what I mean? Like

556
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 1: I but I don't think I would have been leveraging

557
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 1: it by by threatening to go to another school, because

558
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 1: I again, I think there's something to be said about

559
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 1: building and growing your brand within a captive audience community

560
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 1: like if I go to if I go to three

561
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 1: four different schools during the course of my time in school,

562
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 1: I'm a I'm a I'm a person with no flag,

563
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 1: I'm a person with no nation.

564
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 3: I don't.

565
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 4: I don't.

566
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 3: I don't like that feeling.

567
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 1: I don't like the feeling that I get when I

568
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 1: listen to the idea that it's more so because to me,

569
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 1: I look at it like this, if y'all didn't know this,

570
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 1: I'm in radio because a program director saw potential in

571
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 1: me and said, you need to do radio, you need

572
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 1: to do media, come and do it here. And the

573
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 1: program director was a Penn State alumni. It was a

574
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 1: grad right.

575
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 3: I look at.

576
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 1: Opportunities that have come my way that have been more

577
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:25,480
Speaker 1: impactful and more beneficial than any play I ever made

578
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 1: on the football field. And it's because of the walking

579
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 1: to class and saying hello to people and seeing them

580
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 1: out on Saturdays or seeing them out during the course

581
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 1: of the week, or never having seen them at all.

582
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 3: But we both have.

583
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 1: This common bond which connects us, which is the school

584
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 1: we graduated from we went to. That to me is

585
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 1: that has value, and I feel like that's been replaced

586
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 1: by nil and payouts.

587
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 7: Can I tell you why real quick?

588
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 3: Relavar.

589
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 8: Sure, that's a great point you made, because from the

590
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 8: era we're from the claw from. That's how we were built.

591
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 8: These new generation kids that's playing it all starts in

592
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 8: grassroots sports.

593
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 7: Now.

594
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 8: I have a solid AAU background background for over fifteen

595
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 8: years now, and I could tell you the kids jump

596
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 8: ship at an all time high now compared to even five, six,

597
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 8: seven years ago with even travel ball like kids now

598
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 8: that are switching teams every weekend almost right yes time

599
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 8: they coach yelled at them. The first time they coach

600
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 8: scream on them or say something they don't like or

601
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 8: their parents don't like, they hot teams. So my point is,

602
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 8: those same kids who are hopping teams in AAU when

603
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:36,239
Speaker 8: they nine, ten, eleven, twelve years old, those are the

604
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 8: same boys and girls that are switching schools now that

605
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 8: they're in college. Just the same kids, the same It's

606
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 8: the same wiring over what I'm saying, Yep, exactly the norm.

607
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 1: I just don't understand how that. How does that translate,

608
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:52,240
Speaker 1: you know, for the fan base for the schools, How

609
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 1: does it translate?

610
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 4: You know the bag man?

611
00:31:56,720 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 1: But at some point it's going to become. Players are

612
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 1: going to become so transient for each team. It's like,

613
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 1: how do you get behind a team?

614
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:07,960
Speaker 3: Better?

615
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 1: Yet, I could see how you will. It will evolve

616
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 1: where you get behind the team, but you have a

617
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 1: hard time getting behind the player. Like for me, it

618
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 1: may get difficult if I see a team that has

619
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of starters and all those starters came

620
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 1: from the transfer portal and came from Miami, came from Georgia,

621
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 1: it came from Notre Dame, came from Ohio State or

622
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 1: pitt I'm going to have a hard time cheering on

623
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 1: the player because I have no real connection to them.

624
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 1: And when times get hard, when moments get rough and

625
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 1: it gets hard in a game.

626
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 3: What are you leaning into? What do you what feeling

627
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:52,480
Speaker 3: do you have?

628
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 4: What?

629
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 1: What accountability do you have? These people that are cheering

630
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 1: for you are strangers.

631
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 3: They don't know them and they don't know you.

632
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 7: That's no more for Tim Duncan's. There's no more Tim duncans.

633
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 7: They wait for it anymore.

634
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 5: That's why you have to you know, uh, you know,

635
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 5: say kudos to the coaches like Dabo Sweeney and Kirby

636
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 5: Smart who.

637
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 4: Don't take guys out of the portal.

638
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 5: They they they bring their guys in and they make

639
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 5: them Clempson Tigers and Georgia Bulldogs. And you look at

640
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 5: the success that they've been having. It is because of that.

641
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 5: I don't care what sport it is, baseball, basketball, football,

642
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 5: But it's hard to evaluate a player for one for

643
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 5: one season, for one year, and to to go back

644
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 5: to the you know, to the uh, to the board

645
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 5: and like, what's his strengths, what's his weaknesses?

646
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 4: He was only here for a year.

647
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 5: So it's tough to evaluate talent if you don't even

648
00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 5: know what they're really capable of of doing. And that

649
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 5: is that, and that is the new platform that these

650
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 5: players are creating for the coaches and they know it.

651
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 4: And so now if you're a coach, you really.

652
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 5: Can't pour into a kid like you want to because

653
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 5: you don't know if he's gonna be here next month.

654
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 3: You gotta recruit him. You gotta recruit him, man, you

655
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:20,320
Speaker 3: could potentially lose.

656

Speaker 9: Okay, Anyways, Simone Biles opened her first restaurant at the

702
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 9: Houston Airport in Terminal A. The restaurant is themed and

703
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:52,320
Speaker 9: inspired by her achievements and her iconic career as a gymnast.

704
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 9: The restaurant is called Simone Biles Taste of Gold Nice.

705
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:02,319
Speaker 3: What is Does she have a ten pound crab cake?

706
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:05,360
Speaker 4: Like?

707
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:12,160
Speaker 3: What's her? What's her? What's their signature dish? There?

708
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:15,280
Speaker 9: She's serving a tex Mex style food, which is apparently

709
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:19,239
Speaker 9: her favorite according to the video I watched. But it's

710
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:23,320
Speaker 9: mostly like burgers and skewers. They have salads and soups,

711
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 9: but it's it's the touches that they put into them,

712
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:26,319
Speaker 9: you know.

713
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:28,719
Speaker 3: Oh profiles.

714
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 9: Now, she does insist if you go there. She's there

715
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:34,439
Speaker 9: every day. She's like, if you see me, say hi,

716
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:37,040
Speaker 9: come up and take pictures. She wants all the reviews,

717
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 9: she wants all of the all of the everything for this. Unfortunately,

718
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:43,840
Speaker 9: you do have to have a flight at that airport

719
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:46,360
Speaker 9: in order to dine there because it is behind security.

720
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 5: It's in terminal.

721
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 3: Oh okay, But.

722
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:52,440
Speaker 9: She's hoping to have many more restaurants. This is just

723
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 9: the very first one. And she also had a fun fact.

724
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 9: Other athletes at the airport have opened other restaurants, but

725
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:01,239
Speaker 9: she is the first female to do it.

726
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:04,760
Speaker 3: Oh wow. Okay snaps for her, yes, snaps?

727
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:10,280
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, good shots out shots out to Samo.

728
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 3: Yes, all right, what else we got?

729
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:16,320
Speaker 9: M Well, there is rumored to be a new NBA

730
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:19,960
Speaker 9: team coming to Vegas. On March twenty fifth, the NBA's

731
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:25,759
Speaker 9: board approved plans to explore expansion. It's currently nameless, obviously,

732
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 9: but local Vegas news page they were like, hey, let's

733
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:31,439
Speaker 9: see what our locals come up with for a good

734
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 9: name for the team. Now, off the top of your head,

735
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 9: anything you guys.

736
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:37,200
Speaker 3: Can think of, No.

737
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:46,839
Speaker 5: In Vegas, No, nothing jumps off the brain for me immediately.

738
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:50,280
Speaker 3: The Vegas Gamblers. I mean, there's a gamblers team.

739

00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:01,000
Speaker 3: just saying.

745
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:01,799
Speaker 4: I just think.

746
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:03,799
Speaker 5: I just think that everything that they have going up

747
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:05,960
Speaker 5: with the NBA, that would not be a name.

748
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:09,759
Speaker 1: You can't get away with saying Vegas black Jacks these days.

749
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:15,400
Speaker 3: Vegas clubs.

750
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:20,759
Speaker 9: Because so here's what they have come up with. The

751
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:25,160
Speaker 9: Vegas Cones, the sin City Ballers, the Golden Aces, the

752
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 9: East Side Tweakers, the Vegas Dices, the Vegas Wakers, the

753
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:34,840
Speaker 9: Vegas Scorpions, the Vegas Sinners, whoa. One of them just

754
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:37,360
Speaker 9: said Californians. I don't I don't know what that meant.

755
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:38,839
Speaker 4: Maybe it's a joke.

756
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:39,279
Speaker 3: I don't know.

757
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:41,840
Speaker 4: Of those people in Vegas are special.

758
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 9: Here's a good one. The Vegas hookers, you could be

759
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:47,320
Speaker 9: the Vegas No.

760
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 1: No, the Vegas outlaws, that's way too literal.

00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:54,239
Speaker 9: The Las Vegas blackouts.

762
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:56,319
Speaker 1: Oh no, I just don't think you can throw the

763
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:58,759
Speaker 1: black in there for any of it. Like, I just

764
00:39:58,760 --> 00:39:59,720
Speaker 1: think it could go wrong.

765
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:02,520
Speaker 3: What about the Las Vegas tweakers?

766
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:06,319
Speaker 9: Oh, I mean, oh speeders, my best speeders.

767
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 1: I mean you'll get a ticket or you end up

768
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:13,759
Speaker 1: rolling your car over as Eldrick, I just don't think

769
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:15,800
Speaker 1: that doing doing anything.

770
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:19,520
Speaker 3: With speeding is good because that's breaking the law.

771
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:20,279
Speaker 4: Yeah.

772
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:23,440
Speaker 5: I'm just trying to think about what Vegas is. Some

773
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 5: monts synonymous with outside of the.

774
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:40,680
Speaker 9: Gambling eat strokers, No, no, no, the Vegas strippers here

775
00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:41,720
Speaker 9: we are No.

776

Speaker 1: I mean I like it, just not for this in particular.

777
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:50,040

00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:57,279
Speaker 1: Marek
