Speaker 1: this game was unbelievable. I down fourteen, I mean I
Speaker 1: think there was down in minutes ten, with like two
Speaker 1: two minutes to go, I was like, well, hey, let
Speaker 1: me go change out of my my workout little stuff
Speaker 1: and get ready to go down there and do night cap.
Speaker 1: And I come back downstairs and it's one twenty three
Speaker 1: to one twenty one, and Cat said the free throw live.
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, Cat, make both of these. They got
Speaker 1: an uphill client he missed one. Uh oh, now we're
Speaker 1: gonna play a free throw game. We're gonna play free
Speaker 1: throw game, Joe, that what we be about to do. Hey,
Speaker 1: I ain't gonna try to get it all back in
Speaker 1: one shot. I'm gonna see how y'all have no pressure.
Speaker 1: And boy, this was the unbelievable ball game. Pascal sey'all
Speaker 1: comes seventeen points, aaron Ne Smith thirty points, Miles turn
Speaker 1: Of fourteen points, Nim Hard fifteen points. Tyrese Halibert was
Speaker 1: sensational tonight thirty one points, eleven assists. They won this
Speaker 1: game because they took care of the basketball. Yep, they
Speaker 1: had seven turnovers in an overtime game total, so four
Speaker 1: quarters of basketball plus five minutes of overtime, they had
Speaker 1: seven turnovers. Jalen Brunson alone had seven turnovers. And that
Speaker 1: was the difference in the ball game. They've got to
Speaker 1: do a better job of making those free throws. Also,
Speaker 1: they was twenty eight or forty, so in other words,
Speaker 1: they got to the line forty times and they only
Speaker 1: cash twenty eight times. Joe, you watched this game, and
Speaker 1: I know, look and I'm like, damn, y'all got to
Speaker 1: stop something in there, because I thought I was gonna
Speaker 1: be able to have to come on the show Joe
Speaker 1: and say, Joe, they got to stop something.
Speaker 2: They can't.
Speaker 1: Let can't go get thirty five, Let Brunson get forty three.
Speaker 2: Let this guy do this. They said, well, watch us.
Speaker 1: And when they needed to make plays late in the
Speaker 1: ball game, they made every play.
Speaker 2: They made every right pass.
Speaker 1: What is it that the Pacers did in the last
Speaker 1: two minutes of the game and in overtime that they
Speaker 1: were able to go on the road, be down as
Speaker 1: many as fourteen late in the fourth, down by nine
Speaker 1: with like two minutes to go, and win this ball game.
Speaker 2: Oh man, what a hell of a game. On hell
Speaker 2: of a game.
Speaker 1: I thought the Pacers have done what they've done pretty
Speaker 1: much this entire postseason when they've been counted out. You know,
Speaker 1: they got guys who step up, still play inspiration basketball
Speaker 1: down the stretch. I think Nate Smith was the player
Speaker 1: of the game to me, man, the way I do too.
Speaker 1: The way they were down, he was still playing hard
Speaker 1: fish and he shot eight for nine from three, I
Speaker 1: don't know, from the free throw line, yeah, yeah, four
Speaker 1: for four from the free throw line, eight for nine
Speaker 1: for three. I'm not sure you're gonna count on that
Speaker 1: every night, but tonight he was special and he gave
Speaker 1: them their lift that they needed. But they got contributions
Speaker 1: from some of everybody. Look at that best TJ.
Speaker 2: Mcconaugh.
Speaker 1: Come in and you don't get no drop off, Like
Speaker 1: he's not gonna hurt you. He gonna help you in
Speaker 1: every facet of the game. And I thought, man, they
Speaker 1: were just relentless down the stretch, even to start the game.
Speaker 2: I thought they came out ready to play.
Speaker 1: They picked I ain't know we was watching the NBA
Speaker 1: or the n c a A the way them dudes
Speaker 1: picking up full court, they picking up, they picking up
Speaker 1: full court the entire game. And I guess they hold
Speaker 1: their whole idea is to wear brunting down, to wear
Speaker 1: the knicks down, because you know they're only gonna play
Speaker 1: about seven guys and any throwing about eighty nine dudes
Speaker 1: at you who are all dogs, and they coming in
Speaker 1: and they getting all the straps. It was a beautiful
Speaker 1: game tonight, man. I know everybody in New York is his.
Speaker 2: They're sick. They sick.
Speaker 1: I hadn't seen the Knicks fans this sick. Maybe since
Speaker 1: Ice Tray did what he did. Yeah, it got quiet
Speaker 1: in the other night man, it got quiet, and that
Speaker 1: uh you can hear, you can hear. You could hear
Speaker 1: Red pel on Cot. Hello, I'm talking about the bell.
Speaker 1: Look that's how quiety was.
Speaker 2: Joe. I was like, good, good about it. Hey.
Speaker 1: And then when Halliberg hit hit to Hit the ridge
Speaker 1: and the choke joined at the l and he was
Speaker 1: still on the line.
Speaker 2: I said, oh, yeah, you know he got to come
Speaker 2: out and play hard. Now he didn't. He didn't. He
Speaker 2: Didne had a little little early sell celebration. Yeah he
Speaker 2: had yeah. Yeah. I was like, oh yeah, they got
Speaker 2: this one.
Speaker 1: And I came out, I celebrated, asked like a ashy shilling,
Speaker 1: like it was a two point.
Speaker 2: I say two dog.
Speaker 1: No, he's behind the line. I said, oh this band,
Speaker 1: no Pool the kd older. Hey, but look you look
Speaker 1: how they gain. They composed you the overtime and it
Speaker 1: still came out and put their mark from the game.
Speaker 2: Bro.
Speaker 1: Hey, look we might look up uncle. This inny other
Speaker 1: team could be in the finals. This is what I
Speaker 1: was talking about because they're so unpredictable because they got
Speaker 1: guys like Nate Smith, who you may not count on
Speaker 1: to give you thirty every night, but he won you
Speaker 1: a game to night, so the next night it may
Speaker 1: be somebody else. He could be Pascal Siactle, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, It could be somebody else. So they
Speaker 1: got a multitude of cats who are willing to step up,
Speaker 1: who take that challenge, and they competing at the highest level.
Speaker 2: I thought the Knicks played great. You know, Brunton and.
Speaker 1: You got four You got fifteen to twenty five from
Speaker 1: Brumps and forty three points. You got level of seventeen
Speaker 1: from cat thirty five points, twelve rebounds.
Speaker 2: Come on now, you I.
Speaker 1: Mean you got sixteen from oh G got a you
Speaker 1: got sixteen from Michal Bridges, you got eight, thirteen and
Speaker 1: seven with a steal from Josh Hart.
Speaker 2: I mean, with damn they they played.
Speaker 1: They played well up the way they had the game
Speaker 1: in their hands, but it seemed like laid down the stretch.
Speaker 1: They was having these mental lessons where they were almost
Speaker 1: turning the ball over, but they kept getting away. I'm like,
Speaker 1: hold on Indiana gonna make them pay for this, and
Speaker 1: they just kept throwing these little little lackadaisical passes and
Speaker 1: end up getting these turnovers.
Speaker 2: Man, Indiana is relentless, bro.
Speaker 1: They they they filed the team and they ready, they
Speaker 1: ready for the moment down And we've seen this from
Speaker 1: there in three games down the stretch against Cleveland, they
Speaker 1: find ways just like we saw the Knicks do this
Speaker 1: down the stretch against Detroit. We saw them do this
Speaker 1: down the stretch against Boston and clutch moments, they find
Speaker 1: ways to win. They make the right pass, they hit
Speaker 1: the big shot. They do everything ain't right, They get stilled,
Speaker 1: they play passing lanes. I mean, look both teams.
Speaker 2: I was like.
Speaker 1: Jaylen Brush was fifteen to twenty five, Kat was eleven
Speaker 1: or seventeen. But Nick, this is what y'all known for.
Speaker 1: Y'all known for defense. Y'all let Tyre's Haliburton go twelve
Speaker 1: to twenty three. Y'all let them har go six or ten.
Speaker 1: Y'all let Myles turn and go six of eleven. Aaron
Speaker 1: Nasmith missed four shots. He was nine of thirteen, eight
Speaker 1: or nine from the three. The only guy that really
Speaker 1: shot less than fifty percent. That played heavy minute was
Speaker 1: really Pascal Siakam. Yeah, seven or sixteen. Other than that,
Speaker 1: they shot fifty one percent from the floor. Now this
Speaker 1: is what Look, we know Indiana can play defense, and
Speaker 1: they played it really good down the stretch. But they're
Speaker 1: a team that want to get it out of the
Speaker 1: net or getting off the rim. But they want to push.
Speaker 1: They'll give you, they'll give you a basket to get
Speaker 1: a quicker basket because they want the tempo. They won't
Speaker 1: they won't tempo and they know, oh it's easy this
Speaker 1: oh oh we hey, yeah it's easy. And next day
Speaker 1: you know, you want a tract me And they used
Speaker 1: saying both you know, yeah, because they gonna give you
Speaker 1: some easy with some good looks. That's gonna sed that's
Speaker 1: gonna seduce you into playing that style of play and
Speaker 1: that thing.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: Look, we got one hundred and thirty eight hundred and
Speaker 1: thirty five point game. This is what the Pacers want.
Speaker 1: They don't think you can put this paint Knicks, Knicks.
Speaker 1: This is not the pace the Knicks want to play
Speaker 1: at or need to play at. Look, you gotta slow
Speaker 1: this tempo down, I mean, and you look, you got
Speaker 1: sixty nine points at the half. That's right up, that's
Speaker 1: right up there. The pacers alley. They want to they
Speaker 1: want to see they want a sixty five seventy five
Speaker 1: halftime pace.
Speaker 2: It was right. They want to they want to get
Speaker 2: up and down.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and when you play that style, you need to
Speaker 1: be very very careful because I don't know if that's
Speaker 1: what you're equipped to do. And look, Cat played phenomenal tonight.
Speaker 1: I thought Bronson played for nomenal. I mean, both teams
Speaker 1: played really well tonight. Now they caught some ticket tag
Speaker 1: stuff early, but late in the ball game, they did
Speaker 1: not want the Knicks to lose.
Speaker 2: That was an and one on topic.
Speaker 1: And the cap Bridget he got him in the chest
Speaker 1: and he hit him on the arm and on the
Speaker 1: shoulder and they didn't call it.
Speaker 2: That was a damn one.
Speaker 1: That should have been a chance for him to go
Speaker 1: to the line and have a four point lead.
Speaker 2: I agree.
Speaker 1: I agree on the rebound. They damp y'all, But Kee,
Speaker 1: I bring you poured the band down again. He was like, damn,
Speaker 1: you poured the band playing down. And they're like, hey,
Speaker 1: play hey, Mitchell Irvin. That's why I got Mitch a.
Speaker 1: They're like, play on I was like, with damn, y'all,
Speaker 1: ain't gonna call it no foult right, Hey, this playoff basketball.
Speaker 2: And another thing I will say, because Indiana is so deep.
Speaker 1: And remember I've always talked about they got at least
Speaker 1: six guys who averaged double figures in the playoffs. Yep,
Speaker 1: this doesn't surprise me that Nate Smith had a game
Speaker 1: like this.
Speaker 2: What what? What?
Speaker 1: What I was really concerned about the knicks was down
Speaker 1: the stretch. You see how these shots kept coming up short.
Speaker 1: He had the legs go. They had them legs gone
Speaker 1: because you don't play it at this tempo that you
Speaker 1: ain't necessarily accustom to playing at every night in Indiana.
Speaker 1: This is what they do because they don't really have
Speaker 1: guys who playing forty five forty.
Speaker 2: Two minutes a night. So uh, this was an up.
Speaker 1: And down game and you know, and and and in
Speaker 1: favor of the.
Speaker 2: Pacers, and wow, it didn't disappoint.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 2: When they hit that shot, I was like, oh my god.
Speaker 1: After but I said, I was like, man, hey, when
Speaker 1: it hit and we're straight up and there, I watched
Speaker 1: this thing go in. I was like, yeah, Joe, Joe,
Speaker 1: I mean, I said, watch this thing go. I told
Speaker 1: Shell I said, shall I watch this go in? And
Speaker 1: she she started screaming because of it. I was like,
Speaker 1: oh my goodness. There's a difference walking on the treadmill
Speaker 1: for forty five minutes versus jogging or sprinting on the
Speaker 1: treadmill for forty five minutes. And you see, the pacers
Speaker 1: are used to sprinting on the treadmill, so you sprint
Speaker 1: for forty five versus team that. Oh oh I exercised,
Speaker 1: I get my exercised in okay.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: It kind of like when I tell people like, look,
Speaker 1: you can do lip weight and then you can do cardio.
Speaker 1: But when you combine the two, that when you can
Speaker 1: see somebody car your capacity. Because I'm combining, I'm more
Speaker 1: force you to use your strength, your muscles and the
Speaker 1: other muscle that heart. So if you notice, sometimes you
Speaker 1: get guys that are really strong and you can get
Speaker 1: even find someone that's really good at cardio. But when
Speaker 1: I combine the two, now like oh damn yeah, And
Speaker 1: that's what the pacers want you to do. They want
Speaker 1: you to they want you to get up and down.
Speaker 1: They want you to try to say, oh man, we
Speaker 1: about to get one hundred and thirty. We about to
Speaker 1: get one hundred and forty. Hey, we've seen the Knicks.
Speaker 1: We've seen the Pacers a couple of times this year.
Speaker 1: Get one forty, get one hundred and fifty points in regulation.
Speaker 1: You gotta be careful playing at their temple, playing at
Speaker 1: their pace. I thought this game looked if somebody if
Speaker 1: I tell you, what if somebody told you, if you're
Speaker 1: a Nick fan and somebody say, hey, Brunt's gonna shoot
Speaker 1: twenty five times, he's gonna make fifteen of them. He's
Speaker 1: gonna have forty three points. Cat's gonna have thirty five
Speaker 1: and twelve like what we won the game.
Speaker 2: Yeah, if we won the game, absolutely, that's what you're saying.
Speaker 1: If your two big guns and they fired, and they
Speaker 1: go off and they're efficient while they're doing it. Now,
Speaker 1: if Brunston had forty three points and they took him
Speaker 1: thirty two shots to get it, I ain't impressed with that.
Speaker 1: If Kat had thirty five and it took him twenty
Speaker 1: five shots to get it, I ain't impressed with that.
Speaker 1: It took Cash seventeen shots to get thirty five points.
Speaker 1: It Bronston twenty five shots to get forty three. They
Speaker 1: shot fifty one percent from the floor. But they gave
Speaker 1: up fifty one percent from the floor. They gave up
Speaker 1: forty one percent from the three point line where you
Speaker 1: ask it. And you didn't turn them over like you
Speaker 1: did Boston. You didn't turn them over like you did Detroit.
Speaker 1: Now they got really good ball handlers. Halliburton's gonna have
Speaker 1: the ball in his hand, and he's not a turnover guy.
Speaker 1: McConnell comes in, he's not a turnover guy. The thing
Speaker 1: I like about McConnell, he knows who and what he is.
Speaker 2: Like.
Speaker 1: I'm not Tyrese Haliburton, I'm not Shay Gilgers, I'm not
Speaker 1: Luca I'm not one of these guys.
Speaker 2: Hey, I don't need to be fast.
Speaker 1: All this between my legs and behind my back and
Speaker 1: and Herkie jer gets this is why I'm effective though,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get it. I'm effective and I'm gonna get
Speaker 1: it done. And I promise you, wherever we at, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna take us to another level. We ain't gonna never
Speaker 1: drop off. That's why I love TJ. McConnell. And you know, uh,
Speaker 1: his presence that he brings on the court. It ain't pretty,
Speaker 1: it ain't the prettiest but I promise you as a
Speaker 1: backup PG. I don't know if it can get too
Speaker 1: much better than him. Yeah, he comes in with it
Speaker 1: on his mind.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 1: He's he's aggressive offensively and defensively. He's a pest. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: he moves him pupp as well, just like Peyton Pritchard
Speaker 1: for Exceltic. It's like Peyton Privy. But not even just him,
Speaker 1: you know, even these other guys, the Obi Toppings, the
Speaker 1: Mattherins when they come home.
Speaker 2: Obie was great tonight.
Speaker 1: They all our defensive minded and then offensively it kind
Speaker 1: of fuels the offensive where they able to get steals,
Speaker 1: get in the passing lanes, get get fast break points,
Speaker 1: and then it kind of gives them get them going.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 1: I thought Indiana was special tonight in that atmosphere. Can
Speaker 1: you imagine what it's like playing in there on a
Speaker 1: wait team like them dudes came in man, I'm talking
Speaker 1: about from the start of the game. I felt they
Speaker 1: they imposed they will and they never gave up. Even
Speaker 1: when they were down fourteen points. You know, they were
Speaker 1: still fighting. They were still under three minutes points off turnovers.
Speaker 1: In game one, the Pacers for seventeen turn fifteen turnovers,
Speaker 1: they got twenty seven points. The Knicks four to seven turnovers,
Speaker 1: they got four points. The Knicks had a ninety nine
Speaker 1: points seven ninety nine point seven percent chance of winning
Speaker 1: the game. With two minutes and fifty one seconds they're
Speaker 1: up fourteen, teams up fourteen plus and the final two
Speaker 1: and a half two minutes and fifty seconds in a playoff,
Speaker 1: fourth quarter game or overtime, and the play by play
Speaker 1: era nine hundred seventy seven and one, the one you
Speaker 1: just witnessed it tonight. If you watch this game and
Speaker 1: the shot and the play by play era, I think
Speaker 1: the play by play goes back nineteen ninety six, ninety
Speaker 1: six them correct. I think that's when they started to
Speaker 1: play by play. You're talking about nine hundred and seventy
Speaker 1: seven and one. He had in that span nineteen ninety six. Okay,
Speaker 1: in that span the last three minutes of the game,
Speaker 1: I made three's and they seemed like forever, seemed like
Speaker 1: three hours. Oh man, Look they kept getting three, they
Speaker 1: get a stop like it was just they kept trails like, man,
Speaker 1: the ain't not finna come back. And I'll bet I'll
Speaker 1: be damn. This was This was an amazing game. And
Speaker 1: hopefully we get six more. Oh, Joe, I don't know why.
Speaker 1: I know you was having technical difficulties trying to get
Speaker 1: logged on. But the Pacers come back one thirty eight,
Speaker 1: one thirty five down fourteen points with two minutes and
Speaker 1: under three minutes left in the ball game. And you
Speaker 1: heard me read off the stat they have a ninety
Speaker 1: nine points seven percent chance of winning. And the play
Speaker 1: by player ear which started in nineteen ninety six, teams
Speaker 1: are nine hundred and seventy seventy zero until tonight, when
Speaker 1: you're up by that many points with that few time,
Speaker 1: without that few times on the flock, and the Knicks
Speaker 1: gave it away. Give them credit. They passed the lane,
Speaker 1: they were getting deflections. They almost they almost got it earlier. Yeah,
Speaker 1: mim hard almost got one, got another one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, But this game was sensational night.
Speaker 1: Aaron Neith Smith thirty points, nine of thirteen, eight of
Speaker 1: nine from the three point line. He scored twenty big
Speaker 1: points in the fourth. Aaron Eith Smith this playoff, he's
Speaker 1: thirty five point thirty five.
Speaker 2: What thirty five May threes? He has thirty five May threes.
Speaker 1: He's third in the NBA fifty four percent from three
Speaker 1: point line.
Speaker 3: Yeah, hey, hey, young and Joe, listen, this is what
Speaker 3: I call playoff basketball.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 3: I've watched some basketball over the years on so I've
Speaker 3: never seen a game like the night.
Speaker 2: I've never seen the game like to night, when.
Speaker 3: Your two big guns are on fire and they're hitting
Speaker 3: on all cillingers like they like cat in Brunsonborg. You
Speaker 3: expected to win a game like this when you that
Speaker 3: amount of points, whether that little time left to go
Speaker 3: in the game, You not expecting the other team to
Speaker 3: come back and win, regardless of circumstance, that any hypothetical
Speaker 3: you come up with. But what we saw tonight, it
Speaker 3: seemed unreal. It was like something out of a movie.
Speaker 3: This is how move how this is how movie story
Speaker 3: endings happened. They happened like what we saw tonight. It's
Speaker 3: a great game. You you said it too. The Knicks
Speaker 3: won't be able to keep up with that offensive pace.
Speaker 3: I think they need to. They need to play at
Speaker 3: their own pace and not playing the way the places
Speaker 3: played used to, running up and down the floor, back
Speaker 3: and back and forth. But god damn man, that the
Speaker 3: night was. That was a beautiful game. Now, if we
Speaker 3: get six more games, like this. This might be the
Speaker 3: guest seven game series of all time if the game
Speaker 3: end like this in this maner, Oh you think it's
Speaker 3: going seven? No, I'm I'm just I'm just throwing it
Speaker 3: out there. But you just like you, just like you,
Speaker 3: just like the game to day. The first game it
Speaker 3: was pretty good.
Speaker 2: Hey.
Speaker 3: What scares me also is I think just like the
Speaker 3: Wolves game, it was very important to can win game one.
Speaker 3: It was very important to me for the Knicks to
Speaker 3: win game one, especially at home. You got you got
Speaker 3: to steal that game.
Speaker 1: Hey, go ahead, Joe Well Ojo was saying that he
Speaker 1: don't know if the Knicks and keep up with this
Speaker 1: pace they should play they pace they can't because you
Speaker 1: know why, the Pacers apply so much pressure that they
Speaker 1: are forcing the.
Speaker 2: Knicks to speed up, meaning everything.
Speaker 1: If I'm guarding you full court, yeah, at some point
Speaker 1: you may get a step on me, so you figure
Speaker 1: you may have to go take what you can get.
Speaker 2: You see what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: So it's like they induced the Knicks to playing this
Speaker 1: pace and it works in that favor because down the stretch,
Speaker 1: look with you at you got a lot of sloppy
Speaker 1: basketball from the Knicks. A lot of turnovers, a lot
Speaker 1: of mishaps, and ultimately it costs you game, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean? Yeah, yeah, look I did not think.
Speaker 1: But you know what happens, Joe. A lot of times
Speaker 1: when you down by so much, so many points, and
Speaker 1: all of a sudden you make a comeback. You start
Speaker 1: to feel like, oh, we're gonna get this one. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you start to feel that you're gonna win. The other
Speaker 1: team starts to feel like we're about to lose because
Speaker 1: they see fourteen eleven nine eight seven.
Speaker 2: Oh damn, hold on, what happened? What happened to that lead?
Speaker 1: And everybody and all the fans like, damn, come o' clock,
Speaker 1: but the clock can't go fast enough.
Speaker 3: You know, a young Joe, But I honestly, you know
Speaker 3: you said, with the paces doing what they do is
Speaker 3: fuck far as far as forcing the next to play
Speaker 3: outside of their comfort zone, you got to be uncomfortable
Speaker 3: being uncomfortable. You've got to continue to play at the
Speaker 3: next pace because if you're trying to keep up and
Speaker 3: do just because they putting pressure on you and it's
Speaker 3: causing you to it's causing you to have turnovers and
Speaker 3: makes all advice passes have the mistakes.
Speaker 2: That's the reason you're losing the game. So you listen.
Speaker 3: I don't know how you're able to do it, Joe,
Speaker 3: especially from a basketball standpoint.
Speaker 2: Say when I think about boxing.
Speaker 3: Hunk, and there's a pressure fighter, yeah, trying to force
Speaker 3: you to fight, but to do everything you can in
Speaker 3: your will to stay relaxed and stay calm under pressure
Speaker 3: and continue to do your game or whatever your game
Speaker 3: player may be. The Knick's gonna have to find a
Speaker 3: way regards to the pressure that Indiana is applying to
Speaker 3: stay within their game, because that's not the way you
Speaker 3: guys play basketball.
Speaker 2: It's just not.
Speaker 1: But here's the thing though, o Jo, the bully keeps
Speaker 1: coming up hitting you side your head, and you say, nah,
Speaker 1: just don't worry about it, don't That is not what
Speaker 1: you do.
Speaker 2: At some point in time, you gotta fight back.
Speaker 1: So what happens is is that they're playing at this
Speaker 1: phonetic place. Now you like, hey man, I got me
Speaker 1: a couple of easy basket Hey look at it. Hey
Speaker 1: I bet the real boom. I got me a couple
Speaker 1: of easy When you're like, okay, this is easy, right here,
Speaker 1: this is easy, and the next thing you know, you've
Speaker 1: gotten yourself into something that you really didn't want to
Speaker 1: get into. It's kind of like, oh, Joe, you got
Speaker 1: you got a one point lead. Now what you should
Speaker 1: do is go down at the one yard line. But
Speaker 1: what the guy want to do. He want to celebrate,
Speaker 1: so he going into his z on. Next thing, you know,
Speaker 1: they get a touchdown, get a two point conversion, they
Speaker 1: get the ball and over time first and now you're like, damn,
Speaker 1: what happened?
Speaker 2: Yeah, well what happened. You didn't what you weren't supposed
Speaker 2: to do.
Speaker 1: And it's a lot easy, And I understand it's a
Speaker 1: lot easier to say it than done because, like you said,
Speaker 1: but I'm looking at the Knicks even at that phonetic pace, Joe,
Speaker 1: I got a fourteen point lead with under three minutes
Speaker 1: to go, and I got Michael Bridges, and I got
Speaker 1: an og Ananobe and I got Josh Hart. That should
Speaker 1: be that those three players with Jellen, Brutheron and Cat
Speaker 1: should be enough to hold that because they were enough
Speaker 1: to get that.
Speaker 2: So if they're good enough to get it, they should
Speaker 2: be good enough to keep it. Let me ask you
Speaker 2: a question, what else you read off that percentage? Again?
Speaker 3: When you're had when you're by that many points with
Speaker 3: that little time and that's to go, what is the
Speaker 3: percentage the game with your chance to win that game?
Speaker 1: The Knicks had a ninety nine point seven percent chance
Speaker 1: to win when they led by fourteen with two minutes
Speaker 1: and fifty one seconds to go. You know what teams
Speaker 1: up by fourteenth plus in the final two minutes in
Speaker 1: fifty seconds of a playoff, fourth quarter or overtime and
Speaker 1: the play by play era. Prior to tonight, they had
Speaker 1: been nine hundred and seventy seven and oh. After tonight
Speaker 1: they're nine hundred and seventy seven and one.
Speaker 2: That one the Knicks. You know tonight.
Speaker 3: Honestly, it's probably a little too late, depending on where
Speaker 3: you live and where you are.
Speaker 2: I think we all need to play the lotto. Ah,
Speaker 2: we all need to play the lotto.
Speaker 1: Then listen, I picked any of to go to the finals.
Speaker 1: My thing is, man, come on, stop playing. You know
Speaker 1: we got that little bit we got come on egg
Speaker 1: like nog like that. You know you got you got
Speaker 1: a little you got, y'all got it, you gotta you
Speaker 1: gotta lot, you got a little double or nothing.
Speaker 2: On the joe.
Speaker 1: So listen with with with Brunston and Cat playing as
Speaker 1: fishing as they played today, Yeah, and they end up
Speaker 1: still losing the game. I mean it's like, oh, Joe,
Speaker 1: It's like you you go for one hundred and seventy five,
Speaker 1: TJ get a one fifteen cars and throw for three
Speaker 1: seventy five. You gotta run it back one four hundred
Speaker 1: and you somehow you lost the game by four. You
Speaker 1: know what?
Speaker 2: I like?
Speaker 1: How much better you saw your Bengals do this all
Speaker 1: the time? Yeah, Chase Higgins go off no throwing for
Speaker 1: four hundred and you're.
Speaker 2: Like, how we lose?
Speaker 1: And man, my thing is, they may what if they
Speaker 1: what if they not a fishing like this in the
Speaker 1: next game. I know Nate Smith may not go eight
Speaker 1: for nine from three, but they gonna have other guys
Speaker 1: who's gonna step up and gonna play big.
Speaker 2: And you cant out on that.
Speaker 1: If brun Says and Cat don't play like this, they
Speaker 1: won't be in no games, Bro, they won't be no games.
Speaker 1: What I love is Haller Burton was a fish. It
Speaker 1: was aggressive. Twenty three shot attempts for twelve for twelve
Speaker 1: three point attempts. That's they get into trouble when he's
Speaker 1: on five, he got five attempts, he got eight attempts. No, bro, no,
Speaker 1: uh uh not now not Now. We need you aggressive,
Speaker 1: We need you pushing pace. Try to get downhill. If
Speaker 1: you can get all the way down to the rim,
Speaker 1: get all the way down to the rim. And if
Speaker 1: they come to collapse, Hey you got great, great basketball,
Speaker 1: IQ kick it out.
Speaker 2: Damn. Oh, Joe, let me ask you a question, Didale,
Speaker 2: What're gonna get you sick? A luxury? Did they get
Speaker 2: you sick? Did they get you sick last night? No? No, no, no,
Speaker 2: I got the missus got me sick.
Speaker 1: Hold on, okay, Ojo, I was paying attention other night
Speaker 1: and uh I seen Ojo was a little spider.
Speaker 2: He said they were ballet dancers. He had some ballet. Damn.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, adun't ballett what what what kind of.
Speaker 2: Ballet they do?
Speaker 1: Oh? Show adult adult ballet, you know, like behind like
Speaker 1: like Barisha cough ballet.
Speaker 2: Yeah, basically that big.
Speaker 3: But it's it's more exotic, it's it's more it's it's
Speaker 3: more on the luxurious side of a ballet. Yeah, hey listen,
Speaker 3: it's still very graceful. Yeah, just different types of movement
Speaker 3: and exactly Joe Joe, we got I got to take
Speaker 3: you out there.
Speaker 2: I just got me a job.
Speaker 3: I'm the head security out there, and I just applied
Speaker 3: for the head chef job out in Area twenty nine.
Speaker 3: You know, you know I can cook. You know I
Speaker 3: went to you don't need to cook? No, hey, hold on,
Speaker 3: hold on, I went to the Cordon Blue. I didn't finish.
Speaker 3: I did two semesters, but I had to go back
Speaker 3: and take youre some business. But that's like saying I
Speaker 3: went to two semesters law school at Harvard.
Speaker 2: You're not no lawyer. Wow, listen, you're not a lawyer.
Speaker 2: But the l A W is there so long. You
Speaker 2: just ain't got the white gar yet. Long miss.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Joe, Hey, Joe's beautiful, beautiful, beautiful establishment Joe.
Speaker 2: Every Area twenty now, you got to check it out.
Speaker 2: I ain't never HEARDing like adult ba. Matter of fact,
Speaker 2: you know who's hey, Hey, we know whose about that is?
Speaker 2: Oh Earl Thomlins. Is it? That's why Area twenty nine. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's what it is now. Yeah, okay, makes sense, makes sense.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Tyree's Halliburton game won thirty points, eleven assists, one turnover.
Speaker 1: He's one of five players with a thirty ten a
Speaker 1: game this playoffs, Jalen Brunson forty three points, five assists
Speaker 1: on fifteen to twenty five field goal attempts. He's the
Speaker 1: first Nick ever with a forty point game in the
Speaker 1: conference finals. I don't know how much better he can play. Maybe,
Speaker 1: he says, you know what, maybe if I cut my
Speaker 1: turnovers in half, give you what I gave you last
Speaker 1: good night offensively, but cut the turnovers. He had as
Speaker 1: many turnovers by himself as the entire Hacel team.
Speaker 2: He turned the b all over.
Speaker 1: It leaves the runout, it leads the easy baskets, and
Speaker 1: you try to make it as difficult as you possibly
Speaker 1: can on the posing team. Nothing easy in football terms, Joe,
Speaker 1: we say nothing cheap, nothing deep, right.
Speaker 2: He look.
Speaker 1: I think with Brunson, I'm kind of boardlining on a
Speaker 1: lot of them files. He'd be getting like he initiated
Speaker 1: a lot of the contact. Oh col hey, Joe, he
Speaker 1: initiated right with the shoulgar and then throw the handbag.
Speaker 1: That's called great acting. I'm so sick of looking at that, O, Joe.
Speaker 1: I want to see good basketball, man. That's goods the
Speaker 1: same way where you don't like watching shape play. Then
Speaker 1: he threw he threw that he do the same thing.
Speaker 1: But what I'm saying is Indiana is playing great defense.
Speaker 1: Like he ain't really just beating him like that up
Speaker 1: the dribble. So they staying with him with the first
Speaker 1: two three steps and then he initiates the contact and
Speaker 1: flail and it's like Indiana, I'm like, man, they playing
Speaker 1: great decent They getting a bad what side?
Speaker 2: Man?
Speaker 1: He shot fourteen free throws, made twelve. He probably should
Speaker 1: have shot by half of that.
Speaker 2: Like it was.
Speaker 1: It was a lot of marginals, you know. Car and
Speaker 1: I thought that he got tonight and I was like, man, listen,
Speaker 1: that's great defense.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: I think bro Miles McBride shot as many free throw
Speaker 1: attempts as the most on the Pacers.
Speaker 2: Pascal had five and Matthron had five.
Speaker 1: Cos McBride had five three throw temps as you mentioned,
Speaker 1: Jayalen Brunson had fourteen.
Speaker 2: Cat had However, hey.
Speaker 3: And then I ain't standing on it. They get into
Speaker 3: their chicken. They don't care at all. Joe, Nah, they
Speaker 3: don't care at all.
Speaker 2: This was a great game.
Speaker 1: I hope we get something comparable tomorrow in the Western
Speaker 1: Conference Finals. This is what I want to see because supposedly, allegedly,
Speaker 1: these are the four best teams, O joe, these are
Speaker 1: the two best teams in the Eastern Conference, the two
Speaker 1: best teams in the Western Conference. It shouldn't be that big,
Speaker 1: that vast of a difference, and we shouldn't see thirty
Speaker 1: and forty point victories.
Speaker 2: Agree. I'm not saying that we should.
Speaker 1: Everything should come down to the buzzer, but I'm saying,
Speaker 1: you got to the conference finals and you losing by thirty.
Speaker 3: Yeah, everybody should be equally na No, they should be
Speaker 3: equally yoked to this point, especially we should be two
Speaker 3: equally matched ball clubs.
Speaker 2: But this was the number of lavable ball game.
Speaker 1: The Pacers had sixty nine points in the half, they
Speaker 1: got twenty one and the third thirty five in the
Speaker 1: eight in the fourth quarter, and then you got sixty
Speaker 1: two from the Indiana. Then they get twenty five, so
Speaker 1: they cut into the lead, and then they get another
Speaker 1: cutting into the lead. They get thirty eight points in
Speaker 1: the in the fourth and they out scoring thirteen ten
Speaker 1: in the overtime, and they win and go on the
Speaker 1: road snatch home court one thirty eight to one thirty five.
Speaker 1: Anything that we know about Indiana. They get greedy, They're
Speaker 1: not content with just one. We saw them go to
Speaker 1: Cleveland still game one, and what do they do? They say,
Speaker 1: you know what, we want Sweet States. Not only do
Speaker 1: we want them to make a million, we want power
Speaker 1: Ball too, And why yet it give us Fantasy five?
Speaker 1: We want it all they So I got them. I
Speaker 1: got them, winning by land slide in game two. I
Speaker 1: just feel like this pace, obviously, they gonna keep up,
Speaker 1: and I just don't. I think the Knicks gonna wear down.
Speaker 1: Obviously I've said that in the past couple series, But
Speaker 1: at the pace that the Pacers play with, it's gonna
Speaker 1: be hard for the Knicks to keep up with that.
Speaker 1: Man for Brunts and and cat to play like this
Speaker 1: the entire series. Yeah, I don't know if they can
Speaker 1: do that. Guys, i'a be honest with you. Andy Gill
Speaker 1: just win. Nope, he did what everybody know is the
Speaker 1: worst kept secret. He won the MVP thirty three points,
Speaker 1: five six and two, Best Player, best Team first in
Speaker 1: points second and still first, and plus minus first than
Speaker 1: thirty point games first, and forty point games first and
Speaker 1: fifty point games. Last year, he finished runner up a
Speaker 1: lot of them been made about Shae being at the
Speaker 1: pre throw line. Twenty nine of the NBA MVP's attempted
Speaker 1: more free throws in the MVP season than Shaye did.
Speaker 2: This year.
Speaker 1: Twenty nine of the MVPs and the MVP season attempted
Speaker 1: more free throws than what Shae did in his MVP season.
Speaker 1: You know what they tell me, It was getting a
Speaker 1: whole lot of buckets, Ojo, Yeah, a lot of buckets. Uh.
Speaker 1: He flat out got game. And I'm happy for Shaye obviously,
Speaker 1: you know, i know this a special moment for him.
Speaker 1: I'm sure this is something that he's kind of set
Speaker 1: out to do, probably over the last few years when
Speaker 1: he probably seen that it was really possible. And him
Speaker 1: getting slighted last year, I think he put a little
Speaker 1: fire in the come back there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, even better.
Speaker 1: And that don't happen a lot of times, man. You know,
Speaker 1: sometimes you'll see a guy in it and then he'll
Speaker 1: fade away. But Shae, he's been right there, bro from
Speaker 1: from the start.
Speaker 3: Hey, Hey, when you look at it, right, I'm not
Speaker 3: I'm not trying to say I'm not trying to say
Speaker 3: he's this individual.
Speaker 2: I'm saying the way he carried herself. The way he
Speaker 2: goes about his game.
Speaker 1: It's worth it. Love everything about it, huh. I love
Speaker 1: everything about it, man, you know, I.
Speaker 2: Mean you know who. I want to compare it to,
Speaker 2: oh old twenty old twenty four down there in l A.
Speaker 3: Just his approach to the game, sty yeah, mannerisms, how
Speaker 3: he takes it, the chip that he wears on his shoulder,
Speaker 3: never complaining.
Speaker 2: He just goes out and he plays ball. I agree.
Speaker 2: All they do is play ball, Joe Nill. Yeah, on
Speaker 2: and off the court.
Speaker 1: Yeah, every man, listen, man, yeah. He and the thing here,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm reading reading what his quotes about that.
Speaker 1: He said, I figured I could be really good because
Speaker 1: I saw the work that I was putting into it.
Speaker 1: And then I control what I can control, and then
Speaker 1: what I can or don't worry about it, he said.
Speaker 1: But never did I imagine this, you see? And I
Speaker 1: said this all the time. Oh Joe, you hear me
Speaker 1: say this all the time. It's hard for me to
Speaker 1: see a player not getting incrementally better. I'm not saying
Speaker 1: that he's gonna all of a sudden be an undrafted fridge,
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden he's gonna go to an MVP.
Speaker 1: But I've said it's hard if you're putting the work in. See,
Speaker 1: you can't be mad for resources you didn't get for
Speaker 1: the work that you didn't put in. Because see a
Speaker 1: lot of times, Joe, people get mad at results they
Speaker 1: didn't get for work they didn't put in. Why are
Speaker 1: you mad when you know you see? For me, I
Speaker 1: can't I don't know what a person does.
Speaker 2: I can just tell you.
Speaker 1: I can just speak to what I did, what I do,
Speaker 1: so therefore what I have success. I'm not surprised by
Speaker 1: the success that I have because I know how hard
Speaker 1: I work, not hard work, and what I tell kids
Speaker 1: all the time when they do a lot more speaking engagement,
Speaker 1: I say, hard work doesn't guarantee you anything. But I
Speaker 1: can tell you this, Without it, you don't have a chance.
Speaker 1: It doesn't guarantee you that you're gonna get everything that
Speaker 1: you asked for or what you set out to accomplish.
Speaker 1: But without it, you don't have a chance. So I
Speaker 1: see this young man, and I see where he came from.
Speaker 1: He got traded because the Clippers really say, you know
Speaker 1: what we want Paul, George and kawh I want Paul,
Speaker 1: and I get it. I get why why says I'm
Speaker 1: in win not moved. Same thing we talked about Joe
Speaker 1: about a Cooper flag. I ain't got time for him
Speaker 1: to get good. I need to wear I need to
Speaker 1: be good right now. So you wanted Paul George, who
Speaker 1: was an All Star, all the NBA player can play
Speaker 1: both ends of the court. But you see this young man, now,
Speaker 1: this is his third grade year. I think he needs
Speaker 1: to average thirty points a game. There ain't a whole
Speaker 1: lot of guys in the history of the game can
Speaker 1: say that. And he's efficient while he's doing it, averaging.
Speaker 1: If you average thirty and you're shooting forty two percent,
Speaker 1: they tell him, you put up a whole lot of
Speaker 1: damn shots, and people get seduced by raw numbers.
Speaker 2: Nah no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1: This man shoot fifty one percent from the floor. A
Speaker 1: whole lot of people have ever done. A whole lot
Speaker 1: of guards have ever done that.
Speaker 3: Can I ask you a question, Joan, You yes, you
Speaker 3: know your history much better than I do. You know
Speaker 3: the history of the game of basketball much better than
Speaker 3: I do. In comparison to what SGA has been able
Speaker 3: to do. Being efficient from the field, scoring fifty one
Speaker 3: percent while putting up a lot of shots. In comparison,
Speaker 3: who does he compare to from the past. The only
Speaker 3: guy that's done this from a guard is Jordan. To
Speaker 3: score thirty plus and shoot fifty percent from the floor,
Speaker 3: only Jordan has done it at the guard position.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm just.
Speaker 3: Curious because I wanted you to say that because I
Speaker 3: heard someone say I just you know, reading the chat,
Speaker 3: just reading the chat, and oh yeah, people are so
Speaker 3: quick to compareisonbody the Kobe, So I just wanted you
Speaker 3: to hear the numbers and why the comparison can you
Speaker 3: through based on what he's actually doing in real.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's he's Look, he's more efficient.
Speaker 1: A hardness kind of reminds you more like Kobe with
Speaker 1: you know, they're gonna score a bunch of points, but
Speaker 1: they're not gonna do it in the most efficient manner. Now,
Speaker 1: can they have knights where they go fit you fifty
Speaker 1: percent from the floor, Absolutely, but more times than not
Speaker 1: they're gonna be probably that forty six forty five percent. Right,
Speaker 1: this kid is shooting half is he's making half his
Speaker 1: shots now the playoffs notwithstanding, because he hadn't been as
Speaker 1: efficient in the postseason as he has in the regular season.
Speaker 2: But you look at all the top guys, none of
Speaker 2: them have.
Speaker 1: Even Nakola Jokic wasn't as efficient in the postseason as
Speaker 1: he was in the regular season.
Speaker 2: Obviously, thing changes.
Speaker 1: You're playing better teams, get those guys, get to focus
Speaker 1: on you on a nightly or on a nightlyt or
Speaker 1: every other night basis.
Speaker 2: And it's not you're playing Charlotte one night.
Speaker 1: You're playing Milwaukee, you're playing Orlando, you're playing Atlanta, you're
Speaker 1: playing Miami. This team set the whole game plan up
Speaker 1: to deal with you over the course of two weeks
Speaker 1: if necessary. Yeah, because when you're competing in the playoffs,
Speaker 1: you know we're gonna pay attention to every little detail,
Speaker 1: and teams attention to details, and we want to take
Speaker 1: your strengths. We want to take them away from you
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, you know what I mean. We want
Speaker 1: to make you have to use a counter. We want
Speaker 1: to make you have to pass it to somebody else
Speaker 1: and make a play. But you let alone yourself. We're
Speaker 1: not gonna really let you play everything you get. You're
Speaker 1: gonna have to work hard for Yes, the stars in
Speaker 1: the playoffs this year, the Shades, the yokis. You know
Speaker 1: them dudes had They've had to work tremendously hard just
Speaker 1: to kind of get theirs off.
Speaker 2: The one thing I love about.
Speaker 1: SHADEO, Yeah, he's not just offensive minded like he Yeah
Speaker 1: he has an arsenal as far as in his offensive package,
Speaker 1: but defensively, bro he sits down, He plays both fans
Speaker 1: of the court. He gets his teammates involved, and that
Speaker 1: team they love being around each other.
Speaker 2: That's a scary team I love. I'm happy for Shade man.
Speaker 1: This is this is a huge, huge accomplishment for him,
Speaker 1: and I'm sure he's proud of and he's the type
Speaker 1: of guy who tried to build on it and try
Speaker 1: to learn a couple more.
Speaker 2: MVP yeah as well as you should.
Speaker 1: Sga met the Supermax criteria all the NBA two out
Speaker 1: of the three seasons last offseason, but he was ineligible
Speaker 1: to side because of the short years of service. Because
Speaker 1: he won the MVP and he's gonna be an All
Speaker 1: NBA selection, He's now eligible for the Supermax OJO five years,
Speaker 1: three hundred and eighty million, or he can sign the
Speaker 1: four year two hundred and ninety.
Speaker 2: Four million, but would have to wait to the twenty
Speaker 2: twenty six offseason.
Speaker 1: I'm good. I ain't got nothing to do. Y'all still
Speaker 1: paying me thirty million? You're right, thirty five million right now?
Speaker 2: Ya? Hey, Hey, what you're gonna do?
Speaker 3: You're gonna ride that thirty You're gonna ride that thirty
Speaker 3: million out right to twenty twenty six and then next season,
Speaker 3: you know, yeah, ahead for that five year three eighty.
Speaker 1: Or the four year old. You take the four year
Speaker 1: two ninety four, get that money. I mean, hey, you're
Speaker 1: really shay only twenty six, oh Joe, let's just say.
Speaker 1: I wait the next year, I'll be twenty seven. I
Speaker 1: get that super Max three eighty, that's thirty two. I
Speaker 1: get me another super Max at thirty two. Goad me
Speaker 1: to thirty seven. That's gonna probably be four fifty three
Speaker 1: ninety four. Now, okay, my bad, I get I added
Speaker 1: a million dollars to it. It's two ninety three not
Speaker 1: two ninety four.
Speaker 2: Four. Heyen, what well I want to know? Want yo?
Speaker 2: What can't you do with two ninety three that you
Speaker 2: need two ninety four to absolutely do it? The same things?
Speaker 1: Where where you get that kind of money? Ain't nothing?
Speaker 1: There ain't nothing that you want. Say you know what, man,
Speaker 1: I want that house. It happen to be two undred
Speaker 1: to ninety four million dollars. I showed wish I'd have
Speaker 1: got that extra media, or I want this car, or
Speaker 1: I want whatever the case may be. Oh Yo, there
Speaker 1: ain't nothing that you can't do. That's what I tell
Speaker 1: guys all the time.
Speaker 2: Bro. Okay, you like a couple of million dollars, three
Speaker 2: million dollars?
Speaker 1: Okay, what can't you do with seventeen million that you
Speaker 1: absolutely gotta have to do with twenty?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: Well, I agree, Hey, some dude, these dudes want their
Speaker 1: money on No they they ain't cutting No, he ain't
Speaker 1: cutting them, no discount, and he's well deserving.
Speaker 2: Man, that the work did you take?
Speaker 1: I'm going guess what, because he can sign the two
Speaker 1: ninety three this offseason or he can weigh I'm signing
Speaker 1: that right now.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Hey, hey, hey, Joe, Hey Joe.
Speaker 1: I mean I'll pray that contract go die here because
Speaker 1: hey we can we can date it at a later
Speaker 1: day and time. But I want my signature owner. I'm
Speaker 1: taking that for cause Harrison. Okay, he signs the he
Speaker 1: signs the next year, twenty six offseason. That's seventy six
Speaker 1: million per year, or I can take seventy three to three.
Speaker 1: Right now, he give me seventy three three. I think
Speaker 1: if he if he takes the one now, he probably
Speaker 1: still be if he keeps on them dudes around right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: think they're seventy six, Well he still will they still
Speaker 1: be able to.
Speaker 2: Keep them dues around him.
Speaker 1: Everybody well because he guess what, because by that time
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to that'll be checked, that'll be coming up.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, it interesting to see what they got with Jaylen Williams,
Speaker 1: because that's the thing they want to do away with
Speaker 1: the Super Team. Now they'll have their bird rights. But
Speaker 1: the question of guys like man, they make it seventy six.
Speaker 1: If I stay here, I'm only gonna make thirty six.
Speaker 1: I go somewhere else and make fifty. That's why I
Speaker 1: got to start the vegetojo. You let hold on, Yeah,
Speaker 1: thirty six, Now hold on thirty six times four to
Speaker 1: seventy two. That's one forty four all I can do
Speaker 1: fifty times four that's two hundred.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Now that's a big difference. That's a big difference, Joe,
Speaker 1: one forty four versus two hundred. Yeah, we talked about
Speaker 1: fifty six billion over four years. We talked about fifty
Speaker 1: six billion dollars difference, that's fourteen MILLI per year.
Speaker 2: Now we talk about a whole different ballgame.
Speaker 1: But Yoe, we're talking about two to five billion, were
Speaker 1: talking about fifty six million. Yeah, it's it's it's definitely
Speaker 1: a different you know what. It kind of puts me
Speaker 1: in mind when I was playing in Phoenix before I left.
Speaker 1: You know, the year I had to play, the year
Speaker 1: I played with Nash and that was the only year
Speaker 1: I played with him. It was my contract year because
Speaker 1: the start of that the start of that season, they
Speaker 1: brought in Nash and Quentin Richardson and they played them
Speaker 1: big money to come in. So they kind of put
Speaker 1: me on the back burner, like, all right, I know,
Speaker 1: we said we was gonna take care of you this summer.
Speaker 1: We're just gonna wait till next summer, not knowing that
Speaker 1: we was gonna be the best team in the league
Speaker 1: at that time, don't nobody, right, So they offered me
Speaker 1: forty five million, okay, oh, Joe, and I turned it down. Joe,
Speaker 1: they offered me forty five I turned it down. I said, naw,
Speaker 1: I feel like, you know, we played out. Shit, I
Speaker 1: can get more than forty five. We played it out
Speaker 1: and we ended up being a number one team. Now
Speaker 1: we lost in the Western Conference finals, but I ended
Speaker 1: up getting seventy to come here to Atlanta. Right, what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, that's twenty five twenty five? Yeah, that's a
Speaker 1: big difference. Yeah, hey, hey, hey, yeah, absolutely, yeah, Hey,
Speaker 1: I got, I got, I.
Speaker 2: Got a better understanding that. Okay, that's how we get properly. Okay.
Speaker 1: Yeah, now your property right there there, pro Hey, hey,
Speaker 1: he ain't tell you about that second contract.
Speaker 2: They decided Atlanta.
Speaker 1: Double that double he doubled about Joe Joe, when you've
Speaker 1: got to have that's okay, yeah.
Speaker 2: Ojo oo. Okaya, I worked hard for mine, man, I
Speaker 2: worked hard. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. Listen, hey, look we
Speaker 2: all we all work hard. Some of us get paid.
Speaker 1: Differently, though, you know, I understand, I understand, I understand,
Speaker 1: I understand. Yeah, s GA will soon become the highest
Speaker 1: paid player in the NBA.
Speaker 2: Very well deserved. Guys.
Speaker 1: Put the time in. Don't call the problem. They play
Speaker 1: the game the right way. You can't be mad at
Speaker 1: somebody to having that success. Three teams with three players
Speaker 1: to win the MVP, the thunder Russ k d Sha,
Speaker 1: seventy six Ers, Uh, doctor j want it, will want
Speaker 1: it and Joel Embiid won it. Lakers man, Well, what
Speaker 1: we talking about here?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Out the ball? Celtics man, what we're talking about? Man?
Speaker 1: The Rockets, you know, they had Moses Malone wanted, They
Speaker 1: had a cheam Elijah want to win it. They had
Speaker 1: James Harden win it. Yeah yeah, uh and the thund
Speaker 1: There's only been a team since two thousand and eight.
Speaker 1: Moses Moses wanted, Moses for the Rockets won it twice,
Speaker 1: won it once with the Sixers first year that they
Speaker 1: won the championship. Obviously a team won it and Harden
Speaker 1: won it. But the Celtics, when you look at the Celtics,
Speaker 1: I mean you got Havlecheck. I think Dave Cowens won it.
Speaker 1: Bill Russell wanted, the Lakers got shot. Kobe Gotta tell
Speaker 1: you who else wanted will win it. I don't think
Speaker 1: Jerry West wanted. I would probably say, oh, Kareem what
Speaker 1: the hell? And Magic what the hell about thinking Kareem
Speaker 1: won it three times? He wanted three with the Lakers
Speaker 1: and three with the Bucks. Magic won it three times.
Speaker 1: Kobe won one and Shot won one. Jerry West didn't
Speaker 1: win the Jerry with the Finals MVP. The first year
Speaker 1: they had it initiated in nineteen sixty nine, he won
Speaker 1: the championship. They lost some seven games to the Celtics,
Speaker 1: but he was the first finals MVP.
Speaker 2: Puss. Hey, oh a I went six? Is okay?
Speaker 1: You gotta put some respect on Sam Percy's name over there.
Speaker 1: Oh he done a great job. Okay, But but you
Speaker 1: know what, Joe, He's gonna have to close the deal now, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you gotta close the deal because think about it. You
Speaker 1: got guys, I mean thinking you got you drafted three
Speaker 1: top seventy five players. Yeah, and they and and two
Speaker 1: of the three one m vps there James Harden went
Speaker 1: to Houston and won it. But at some point in time,
Speaker 1: you have to close the deal. Now we we know
Speaker 1: you can select talent, and he selected these guys.
Speaker 2: K d Russ Harden. Make the trade, make the trade
Speaker 2: for a for Shade.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you drafted Jaylen Williams, all these other guys. You
Speaker 1: make the trade for lou Dor all these other guys.
Speaker 1: You Chet Homer, you drafted you you you you signed
Speaker 1: the hard and started in fregency. You drafted Reggie Jackson.
Speaker 1: I mean, you've done a Serge Ibaka. He is only
Speaker 1: it's only so much he gonna be able to do.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: Now he gonna get you. He gonna put the pieces
Speaker 1: in place, but he can't go out there and play.
Speaker 1: Some of this is gonna have to the ownership is
Speaker 1: gonna have to take up on amongst the players to
Speaker 1: be able to come out and compete and be the
Speaker 1: last team standing. They've been the best team the whole
Speaker 1: entire regular season. Yes, for him, he's done his job.
Speaker 1: He just got to hope that they sustained and pull
Speaker 1: it through in these playoffs. So I think at some
Speaker 1: point he'll they'll eventually get one. If not this year,
Speaker 1: which I feel like is wide open, I don't feel like, yeah,
Speaker 1: obviously Nose might be their best chance to get it too.
Speaker 2: It might be it might be man, but hey, it
Speaker 2: ain't gonna be easy. I promise you that KD.
Speaker 1: You look at KD when he won the MVP, he
Speaker 1: averaged thirty two points seven rebounds, five and a half assists.
Speaker 1: He shot fifty thirty nine eighty seven shape it is
Speaker 1: MVP season thirty two point seven five rebounds, six point
Speaker 1: four assists, fifty two thirty eight ninety russ when he
Speaker 1: averages triple double, thirty one point six, ten point seven,
Speaker 1: ten point four, forty three percent from the floor, thirty
Speaker 1: four percent from the three, eighty five percent from the
Speaker 1: free throw line. So great job of Sam Prestck. Congratulations,
Speaker 1: shaved very very well to deserve the Thunder organization. Hey,
Speaker 1: you guys playing well. This is what the Clippers traded
Speaker 1: to get Paul George. They traded Shay gilg Just Alexander
Speaker 1: d Nalo Danello Gallinari twenty twenty two first round pick,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four first round pick, twenty twenty six per
Speaker 1: first round pick, Miami's twenty twenty one first round pick,
Speaker 1: Miami's twenty twenty three first round pick, A lot of
Speaker 1: protective the Clippers first round pick right still in twenty three,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three, they get the rights to a pick swap.
Speaker 2: This year they get the Clippers right to a pick swap.
Speaker 1: So they got one, two, three, four, five first round picks,
Speaker 1: two pick swamps for Shae Gilgers and Gallinari for Paul George.
Speaker 1: They didn't they didn't see I knew that I've seen
Speaker 1: the word, Doc say, he kind of knew Shay was
Speaker 1: gonna be special, but they didn't see this because yeah,
Speaker 1: not this. Yeah, I thought he was gonna be good. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's gonna be good. But now come on, now, I
Speaker 1: ain't see this because if they've seen this, they wouldn't
Speaker 1: have got rid of him.
Speaker 2: Whether they had to, but they had to because Kawhi
Speaker 2: was gonna go to the Lakers.
Speaker 1: If you really want do you really want Kawhi A
Speaker 1: d and Lebron and you're playing in the basement. At
Speaker 1: least Kawhi gave you some credibility. Now, at least you
Speaker 1: think you because Kawhi has won He's finals MVP twice,
Speaker 1: he's Defensive Player of the Year twice. So he's given
Speaker 1: you hope. He's given the Clippers fans hope. That's why
Speaker 1: you know, Dennis, I think that's the name, Uncle Dennis.
Speaker 1: And you make concessions what you gave Kawhi to get it?
Speaker 1: You make those concessions.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he Hey, Joe and I you think Kawhi would
Speaker 3: have been I mean, not Kawhi. You think Sga would
Speaker 3: have become.
Speaker 2: Who he became. That's that's all I know.
Speaker 1: Neither because sometimes a lot of times when you get traded,
Speaker 1: it puts a little fire in you because you know,
Speaker 1: as a player, you know it's a business. But at
Speaker 1: the same time, you kind of feel like, in the
Speaker 1: back of youard mind, you don't want me, that team
Speaker 1: didn't really want me. All right, I'm gonna show them.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna show him. It makes you lock in a
Speaker 1: little harder to you know, to to prove. I don't
Speaker 1: want to say prove them wrong, but you know, kind
Speaker 1: of proved. I want to prove myself right, to prove
Speaker 1: myself that I am the player who I think I am.
Speaker 1: And he's done that, bro, since he stepped there. Okay,
Speaker 1: see he's he's made tremendous leaps and bounds every year.
Speaker 1: And uh, that's what's impressed me the most. Because here's
Speaker 1: the thing, oh Joe, because the office, Kawhi is gonna
Speaker 1: be first option. He's first option in OKC. It's just
Speaker 1: like Brandon Ingram could Brandon No, he couldn't have been
Speaker 1: that with Lebron. Brandon Ingram need to get his own team.
Speaker 1: Guys need to get that.
Speaker 2: Julius.
Speaker 1: No, he would have been that. He needs to be
Speaker 1: on his own team. Sometimes a guy needs to be
Speaker 1: on their own team. I'm the first option, so I
Speaker 1: can grow, mm I can get I'm only gonna get
Speaker 1: oh yo, I'm only gonna get so big when there's
Speaker 1: a lot of shade on me.
Speaker 2: I need the son to shine on me. That's a
Speaker 2: good one. I like that. I need the son to
Speaker 2: shine on me. No, not with Kawhi, No, he was not.
Speaker 2: He was not. Does that no ball? You think basketball?
Speaker 2: Does it only happen in basketball? Where No, we've seen it.
Speaker 2: We see pre shongs.
Speaker 1: You saw pre song when he left Baltimore, what he
Speaker 1: did when he went to Kansas City, right all down
Speaker 1: because he was a backup.
Speaker 2: How can I do?
Speaker 1: I can only do so much. You coming in and
Speaker 1: you giving me five I get five seven carries a game. Now,
Speaker 1: I'm averaging five and a half six yards to carry.
Speaker 1: But guess what happens when you give me Now, I'm
Speaker 1: getting twenty twenty five carrier. I'm getting twenty five thirty touches. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'll go get you twenty eight touchdowns. I'll be a
Speaker 1: first team off Pro a couple of years. Every fifty
Speaker 1: for fifty other yards. It was one of the two
Speaker 1: or three best back in the league before I messed
Speaker 1: up my help.
Speaker 2: No, I can't.
Speaker 1: I can only do so much o jo when you
Speaker 1: don't get when you don't allow me to get with
Speaker 1: X amount of touches.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but see, you know you don't see the difference
Speaker 3: you talk about. In football, you have to rely on
Speaker 3: the calling plays for you. You have to giving you
Speaker 3: the ball, you have. Your opportunities come from a coordinator. Okay,
Speaker 3: we're calling this play for you. When I figure about
Speaker 3: basketball and some of the grace that have opportunities to
Speaker 3: play together, but in turn, you guys say, in order
Speaker 3: for them to grow, they need their own team. The
Speaker 3: gay The game of basketball is free flowing. There's one ball,
Speaker 3: but it's only five pero in the court. Yes, so
Speaker 3: I see it based on names of what I know
Speaker 3: they can do. Well, hell they she's all be able
Speaker 3: to play together. All of you good shoot the ball
Speaker 3: with the hair, you motherfucker want to shoot.
Speaker 2: It all right?
Speaker 1: You see, some guys who are are really good complimentary
Speaker 1: pieces don't know it until you know that that time
Speaker 1: has to prove themselves. Meaning, you know, look at Julius Round,
Speaker 1: even though he's a he's a hell of a player.
Speaker 1: Like he's been through enough to where he knows understand Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm playing with a man. I know he first options,
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna be the best robbin he could possibly have,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean as far as being aggressive
Speaker 1: making plays, and some nights he gonna probably get off
Speaker 1: the slow starts.
Speaker 2: I gotta be the guy that pick it up.
Speaker 1: I feel like Rando is a guy who has really
Speaker 1: came into himself and he knows that understands his role,
Speaker 1: and he's been playing it to the t, especially in
Speaker 1: these playoffs. So that's kind of like one example I
Speaker 1: would definitely give you know what I mean, Jylen Brunson.
Speaker 1: You think Jaylen Brunston is this if he's still in
Speaker 1: Dallas with Luca. No, he needed his own team. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm mary bad handler.
Speaker 2: It is what it is. Let's be real, He's not this.
Speaker 2: He needed his own team in order to flourish. That's okay.
Speaker 3: So that in decimiler with Kyrie leaving and even Lebron
Speaker 3: and Cleveland in the same situation, but see they play
Speaker 3: different positions. You see Brunson and and Luca played the
Speaker 3: same position that both guards. They both need the ball
Speaker 3: to be dominant. See, Lebron and Kyrie can play off
Speaker 3: each other. It's just like shaqing Kobe, shaqing Kobe. It's
Speaker 3: easy to play because it's a big and a little
Speaker 3: Magic and Kareem. It's a big and a little.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Now, we got too, we got too, we got, we
Speaker 1: got two threes, we got we got too. Poor, we
Speaker 1: got That's why you go back and look at the Lakers.
Speaker 1: They had Norm Nixon, they had Magic Johnson. Norm Nixon
Speaker 1: was a damn good point guard. But in order for
Speaker 1: Magic to be he didn't need to share. So what
Speaker 1: we're gonna do. We're gonna get rid of We're gonna
Speaker 1: trade Norm to the Clippers, and we're gonna go draft
Speaker 1: Byron Scott.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Now we got a guy that can shoot. He
Speaker 1: can feel the lanes. We got James Worthy, So we
Speaker 1: got two guys that can feel. Guess what we get
Speaker 1: into a half guard set? Okay, hey, Cap, what you
Speaker 1: wanted to the right to the left, right right? Hey,
Speaker 1: Look I think about when when Kyrie played with Lebron,
Speaker 1: he's like the ultimate two guard. Oh, Joe, I don't know, yes,
Speaker 1: look at him as a point I think playing with
Speaker 1: Lebron because because Lebron is so unselfish, Uh, it allowed
Speaker 1: Kyrie to kind of naturally play that scoring role because
Speaker 1: he scores the ball with the best of him and uh,
Speaker 1: he was more of a two guard to me playing
Speaker 1: with Lebron. And I don't know if he just you know,
Speaker 1: wanted to ball in his hands to be able to
Speaker 1: make plays. But I thought that was the best, best,
Speaker 1: uh position for him, you know, I thought they had
Speaker 1: a great, great uh connection. Man. Yeah, look at look
Speaker 1: at Steph play with Lebron and the Olympics. Look at
Speaker 1: KD with Lebron playing the Olympics and how easy open
Speaker 1: the shots did get.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what it's like. Yeah, right, you're right.
Speaker 1: Everybody's thinking Lebron is like, damn ain't been it's over
Speaker 1: because they guy's got to worry about Steph or this
Speaker 1: guy gotta worry about KD. Yeah, when you play with
Speaker 1: other great players and you're not playing the same position, now,
Speaker 1: sometimes ego gets involved, and you know you want to
Speaker 1: you know, hey, I want this to be as my team.
Speaker 2: It's this team is that, whatever caation may be. But
Speaker 2: you think people would be like that for real?
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, absolutely. Yeah, it's just you saw that broke.
Speaker 1: Did you see what happened in New England? And you
Speaker 1: talking about do you think it's like that you was there?
Speaker 1: Of course it's like that.
Speaker 2: Oh, I mean, yeah, that's that's playering coach, That's that's
Speaker 2: that's that's different.
Speaker 1: I'm just egos. The greater you are as an individual,
Speaker 1: the bigger the ego you have. I don't give a
Speaker 1: damn about the sport, right be it in corporations. If
Speaker 1: you don't, If you don't think Amazon and Google and
Speaker 1: all these companies are competing, you're fooling yourself.
Speaker 2: You're fooling yourself. The video you don't. Don't do that.
Speaker 1: You don't So you don't think Walmart and Costco competing,
Speaker 1: Slam Club and costc competing.
Speaker 2: You don't think that. You don't think walmartin Target compete.
Speaker 2: You don't think that.
Speaker 1: You do?
Speaker 2: You know there are?
Speaker 1: Of course, That's that's what makes the school we are. Oh,
Speaker 1: your competition, there was always competition to go back to whatever.
Speaker 1: You had to do certain things in order to win
Speaker 1: the man, to win the father's heart, you had to
Speaker 1: it was a competition. Well, this guy got he a
Speaker 1: he got four golds. Two cow's what you got, I got,
Speaker 1: I got some lentils. Now they a't gonna work.
Speaker 2: Bro. I'm sorry you lost, and it was what it is.
Speaker 2: But this might be one of the worst trades in history.
Speaker 2: What's that? The shame of Paul George. Five first rounders
Speaker 2: and two pick swaps, so they still got to a U.
Speaker 1: They still got the Clippers first round in twenty six
Speaker 1: that's not a lottery protected.
Speaker 2: They still got a pick swap this year first round.
Speaker 2: Now Shake Shake goes through it.
Speaker 1: He's won an MVP and he mess right at won
Speaker 1: the title because you know what they want, the title.
Speaker 2: He's gonna beat his finals MVP. Hey, look, it's the
Speaker 2: risk that you take. You got to.
Speaker 1: It's the risk that you take when you know, when
Speaker 1: you're on a GM and you're making these moves, you
Speaker 1: know you don't know how none of this is gonna
Speaker 1: pan out. You don't you're going based on on Phiel
Speaker 1: or how you think, how you think it's gonna you know,
Speaker 1: pan out? And man, I think all that is little
Speaker 1: fire on the SGA because since he's left the Clippers, Bro,
Speaker 1: he's done number of sin, got an m V and
Speaker 1: he twenty six six with the MVP on his belt,
Speaker 1: possibly could win a title this year. I don't know
Speaker 1: what more you can ask from if you him, uh
Speaker 1: to prove your work and uh what you're capable of doing. So,
Speaker 1: Like I say, man, my hast goes off to him
Speaker 1: because he seems like a guy who's not gonna be complacent.
Speaker 2: Ocho.
Speaker 1: He seems like a dude who's gonna come back and
Speaker 1: even more relentless than he was this year. Ye, I'm
Speaker 1: looking forward to seeing his progression as a player and
Speaker 1: ultimately who he who he ends up you know, becoming,
Speaker 1: and what he's able to accomplish in this sport it is.
Speaker 2: I think the thing is, Oh, y'all don't know how you,
Speaker 2: but I can speak to me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, once I made the Pro Bowl, I had an
Speaker 1: unquenchable thirst or desire and do it again, because anybody
Speaker 1: can do it once right now, because nobody expected that.
Speaker 1: You talk about the seventh round draft pick, the mainly
Speaker 1: special teams player and he goes to the Pro Bowl. Okay, now,
Speaker 1: when the game playing for your black ass, what you're
Speaker 1: gonna do the whole different ball game when the game play, Oh,
Speaker 1: we got a we gotta we gotta deal with eighty
Speaker 1: five man, or we gotta deal with number two, we
Speaker 1: gotta deal with number seven. Yeah, that's a whole different
Speaker 1: ball game. You might catch you might catch a rabbit.
Speaker 1: Sneak up on it, set him down, let him know
Speaker 1: you're trying to catch it. Yeah, let's see, Hey join
Speaker 1: the meskuw biss what's going on with Americans? Because in
Speaker 1: the fifties, fifties, sixties, seventies, and eighties you had no
Speaker 1: foreign MVPs. And the nineties you had won Elijah one.
Speaker 1: In the two thousands you had three, you had Nash
Speaker 1: one two, Dirk one one. In the twenty ten you
Speaker 1: had one Jannis. Now in the twenty twenties and American
Speaker 1: got one, you got Yanni started it off, and then
Speaker 1: you got Yoke Yoke mb yoke nache Man.
Speaker 2: Listen overseas they gloomed them dudes.
Speaker 1: Man, they started playing pro ball at thirteen fourteen years old.
Speaker 1: They really really learned the nuances of the game. They
Speaker 1: learned how to play versus just going out playing every
Speaker 1: day you do play. Yeah, So so now you know
Speaker 1: they done caught up as far as allan wise, Yeah,
Speaker 1: all over with us as Americans and.
Speaker 2: Their best players might be better than their best Americans.
Speaker 1: So because when you look at it, it's hard to
Speaker 1: say what American player right now is better than Yanni's
Speaker 1: Yoke or Sga. It's hard, man, It's yeah, you're right,
Speaker 1: You're right, August Hard. It's hard to say is Americans
Speaker 1: what Americans are better than them?
Speaker 2: At? Just go ahead on, y'all. I'll let you take
Speaker 2: you want len. I just want to know. I had
Speaker 2: I looked up. I had to look up and think
Speaker 2: a little bit. Ain't nothing out there, not right now,
Speaker 2: ain't not not not right now.
Speaker 3: There are other there are other players that will compliment them,
Speaker 3: you know, but they look right up under, right up
Speaker 3: the now, but not not too far away.
Speaker 2: Now, Yeah, right up under. I mean, you got Yoke
Speaker 2: averaging a triple double.
Speaker 1: You got Gianni's shooting sixty percent from the floor with
Speaker 1: thirty twelve and five.
Speaker 2: You got andb doing what he's doing when he's healthy.
Speaker 1: Uh, you got Shay give you almost thirty three on
Speaker 1: fifty plus percent shooting. You gotta think, hey, these dudes
Speaker 1: probably grew up watching the NBA and wanted to be
Speaker 1: a part of course, and they probably just they just
Speaker 1: put it in the work. Man, and this is kind
Speaker 1: of highest paid off. I think what David's during Envision
Speaker 1: Joe was having an American having the Olympic Dream Team
Speaker 1: in ninety two. That opened up the world, make it global,
Speaker 1: That opened it up because out of that you got
Speaker 1: a Dirt and you got Giannis and you got Steve Nash,
Speaker 1: and you got Yo Kic and you got Luca and
Speaker 1: you got Sga.
Speaker 2: That's what you got because they that hold on this
Speaker 2: is a world stage. Now. Yeah, so now guess what
Speaker 2: you got from Canada.
Speaker 1: You got Germany, you got Serb, you got Slovenia, you
Speaker 1: got Greece, and then you got Frank, you got Gimby.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you got my New, my New, you got a
Speaker 2: Tony Parker.
Speaker 1: It's it's hey, look, the talent, the talent, the talent
Speaker 1: disparity ain't loftside and no more. You know, like everything
Speaker 1: is pretty much even, if not lean more toward the
Speaker 1: foreigner's way.
Speaker 2: You know, they've kind of come in and and kind
Speaker 2: of took the league by storing.
Speaker 1: When you look up, you're like, wow, like the top
Speaker 1: guys in the NBA right now, you know, outside of
Speaker 1: Lebron you know KD think them them just left yeah, Steph.
Speaker 1: But man, these young dudes, these dudes they running the
Speaker 1: league right now.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, And.
Speaker 1: Because I've been proud of that. I mean, the thing
Speaker 1: was and see, and that's why I said, you know,
Speaker 1: it's not a foregone conclusion because when the original Dream Team,
Speaker 1: they might have had four or five players out of
Speaker 1: all the other countries in the NBA. You go to
Speaker 1: any team, now, they got four or five NBA players
Speaker 1: on that team. You go to Serbia, you go to
Speaker 1: I mean, you go, you know, Breeze got players, You
Speaker 1: got Canada. Canada is loaded with NBA players. You go
Speaker 1: to the French team, they loaded with the NBA players.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So all these teams that you're playing where it
Speaker 1: was just one or two sprinkled in here and there,
Speaker 1: they got guys. And not only they're in the NBA,
Speaker 1: they're playing pro ball overseas. So even if they're not
Speaker 1: in the NBA, they're playing pro ball. It's not like
Speaker 1: it is, oh, hey man, what you're doing. What you're
Speaker 1: doing for the next two week? Come on, we gotta
Speaker 1: go to the Olympics. Ain't no more of that, O Joe.
Speaker 1: These guys are actually playing. Shay hooked. This team up
Speaker 1: with teammates up with Rolexes following his MVP announcement, Joe
Speaker 1: and Ojo take a look at this video.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so perfect time, man, what time it is? Hey,
Speaker 2: that's all I ain't done. Now live, that's live. That's
Speaker 2: what I did. I did that for the Ojoe.
Speaker 1: When I went to my first Pro Bowl, I had
Speaker 1: I think I had like twelve thousand dollars. I got
Speaker 1: twelve thousand, five hundre dollars if I made the Pro Bowl. Uh,
Speaker 1: I went bought all the offensive lineman. Rolexis the only
Speaker 1: one that said he didn't want what I asked. John said, John,
Speaker 1: you want a roll lex? He said, nah, tee, I'm good.
Speaker 2: I asked Zim. Zim like nope, I'm good. Yeah.
Speaker 1: The rest of the guys I got, got the other
Speaker 1: guy's Rolexes and have my name in Gray Cholm.
Speaker 2: Thank you cause you know me on Joe.
Speaker 1: I believe that I could be wrong, but I damn
Speaker 1: SUO believe they blocked harder where they know a past
Speaker 1: was coming.
Speaker 2: The old eighty four. Yeah, I don't believe that. I
Speaker 2: like that. I like that they were like, come on, sharpy,
Speaker 2: yeah you know what I'm saying, hey, I mean that's different.
Speaker 2: I think about it.
Speaker 3: You know, I've never been in a position obviously where
Speaker 3: I had to to to buy teammates, you know, yeah,
Speaker 3: playing a sport gift says that, thank you now now
Speaker 3: that now that you bring me bringing back the key
Speaker 3: things in the perspective in context, I bought some watches.
Speaker 3: I bought some watches, and and it's funny like now

Speaker 1: looking to trade Paul George. The Sixers looked into the
Speaker 1: number three pick next month's draft, and everyone will be
Speaker 1: watching to see what they're do. They have already been
Speaker 1: reports suggesting that a Phillips open the shopping the third
Speaker 1: overall pick, and Jake Fisher is reporting that it's more
Speaker 1: likely the Sixers trade down, not out of the draft entirely.
Speaker 1: Another fair, far more important adbit, the Philadelphia may not
Speaker 1: actually be looking to trade PG. Recent reports suggests that
Speaker 1: the Sixers will be looking to explore George's trade in
Speaker 1: the market conjunction with the draft are misread. There have
Speaker 1: been no indication they're looking to package George and the
Speaker 1: number three pick to move him on his own. I'm
Speaker 1: trying to figure out so if they trade who and
Speaker 1: what they're gonna trade in for Joe that country he
Speaker 1: got his huge Yes, you're gonna have to get about
Speaker 1: six players back for him because and he signed up
Speaker 1: what he got a playoff option too, and he gonna
Speaker 1: pick that up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, yeah, he'd be a fool. Not too
Speaker 2: so with Joe. With Joe, what s y'all say? What
Speaker 2: but trade him a keep him? Well? He is not
Speaker 2: that what Joe gonna do? What? What is he? What
Speaker 2: does he?
Speaker 1: Everything is continued it want anything, oh Joe, because if
Speaker 1: he can't, if he can't don't get up off of him,
Speaker 1: we might well, I mean just just just fess up
Speaker 1: and say, look, and we probably did make a couple
Speaker 1: of bad investments, but we need to try to get
Speaker 1: up off the you know what, I mean yeah, So
Speaker 1: if Joel can't come back healthy to where you can compete,
Speaker 1: because everything is really lies in his.
Speaker 2: In his everything is contingent on him. Yeah. So I
Speaker 2: don't know, man, I don't know. Damn got so they
Speaker 2: got some young promise and talent.
Speaker 1: I love tyres MAXI yeah, and the and the one
Speaker 1: to look guard from Duke who got hurt.

Speaker 1: me something that I ain't think he could do. Like
Speaker 1: he put up some he put up some big numbers
Speaker 1: in that little Yeah. When he was playing, he playing
Speaker 1: some good balls. So they got some good pieces. Like
Speaker 1: I said, man, the injuries play a huge part of
Speaker 1: uh people's legacy obviously teams, uh you know season. So
