12
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 4: Because you're wearing a new polo because normally, in fact,

13
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 4: every single show that I've done with Montsey, in fact,

14

15
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 4: Fox Sports Radio for the last oh, I don't know,

16
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 4: three years, I've worn the exact same UCLA shirt on Saturday.

17
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 2: That's my Saturday shirt, and then Sunday I have another

18
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 2: shirt I wear every single Sunday. Right, But on Father's

19
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 2: Day I got two new shirts from my kids. So

20
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 2: the way I work at Montsi is I don't add shirts,

21
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 2: I replace shirts, do you. So I threw away the

22
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 2: Sunday shirt that I that's gone. And then there was

23
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:17,559
Speaker 2: another shirt that I wore that's gone, and so now

24
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 2: I'm worried this will be my new Saturday shirt.

25
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 5: It's not how it works.

26
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 2: And then the UCLA shirt where I wear my NFL

27
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 2: cap will be now my Sunday shirt.

28
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 6: So your shirts are not supposed to be like uniforms

29
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 6: that you wear on specific single days.

30
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 5: You know there's.

31
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 6: Uniform, you're supposed to change it up and switch it around.

32
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 3: Okay. When I was married, I get it, you know.

33
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 2: I used to say, if you want me to look nice,

34
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 2: then pick stuff out, because I don't have any concept

35
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 2: of clothing at all.

36
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 6: Right, but your kids gave you two shirts and you

37
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 6: threw other ones out. You want to throw the other

38
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 6: ones out?

39
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 3: Gone?

40
00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 6: You're supposed to now have a bigger wardrobe.

41
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 3: I have six shirts. How many days in the week

42
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 3: are there?

43
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 6: So which which would you wear twice? Or do you

44
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 6: go shirtless on one day?

45
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 3: No? One day is a sweats and a T shirt day?

46
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 3: Got it all right? So that and by the way,

47
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 3: I only have three T shirts?

48
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 5: Got okay?

49
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 3: Sweats? I mean, I'm a minimalist. But it's about order,

50
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,639
Speaker 3: it's about making sense. Monsie.

51
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,079
Speaker 5: Yes, no, I know it is. You're not making sense.

52
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 5: We're on the same page.

53
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 3: Let me ask you this. You're a man shot.

54
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 5: Yes.

55
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 3: Is he a clothes guy?

56
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 5: He is a clothes guy.

57
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 3: Like he'll go shopping for his own clothes.

58
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,399
Speaker 5: He will, But he's he's very particular.

59
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 6: He likes nice T shirts, even though they're simple that

60
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:46,639
Speaker 6: he likes a nicer one.

61
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 5: He likes nicer brand, tight ice, no tight eye. I

62
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 5: don't think wear a tight eye. I could probably get

63
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 5: him to wear a pink shirt.

64
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:55,959
Speaker 3: Could he wear Hawaiian shirts?

65
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 5: He would not.

66
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 2: In the nineties, after I got married my father in law,

67
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 2: who would have been ninety two today, by the way,

68
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,639
Speaker 2: the Great Dave Marrimani's he wore these Hawaiian shirts a lot.

69
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 2: So of course his daughter, my wife, yes, decided that's

70
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 2: the way.

71
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 5: I'm you're supposed to dress, got it?

72
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 3: So I had a lot of these Hawaiian shirts back

73
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 3: in the nineties. So anywhere fun.

74
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 5: Not against the Hawaiian shirt.

75
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 6: I would love for you to wear one and bring

76
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,799

00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 3: every Saturday. And how do you know this?

81
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 2: Well, every single show, of course, Moncey posts a picture

82
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 2: of the two of us that gets a lot of

83
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 2: you know, followings, and I mean I triple my followings

84
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:38,640

00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 3: And so anyway, it's a good way to start the day.

88
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 3: Big Saturday.

89
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 2: Right now, we're not gonna have Adam Kaplan or NFL

90
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 2: insider on today.

91
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 3: He has some business to do.

92
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 2: But honestly, the only thing I would have asked him

93
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 2: is about Bill Belichick dating a twenty four year old

94
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 2: whether or not this hell or hurts him, you know,

95
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 2: in future interviews for head coaching jobs in the NFL,

96
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 2: he could do.

97
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 5: Whatever he wants. Sid is Bill Belichick.

98
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 6: I understand the question if he was like a normal person, Yes,

99
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 6: How does this affect the perspective people have on you?

100
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 6: I think the perspective people have on Belichick is already

101
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 6: there and nothing is changing. Like I feel like this

102
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 6: story came out and people were like, okay, you know, like.

103
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 2: Nobody was well, I mean, we've already seen him drag

104
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 2: himself naked.

105
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Walk of Shame.

106
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,919
Speaker 5: Video game, which is supposed to be her house. We

107
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 5: just didn't know. That's that's what I read.

108
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 3: Oh really, yeah, so that's where she lived.

109
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 5: That's what I read.

110
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,479
Speaker 3: It's going to be a major upgrade for her, major upgrade.

111
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 5: Yes, So that video from months ago apparently was where.

112
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, because they first met when she was twenty one.

113
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 6: Oh oh, he didn't rush into anything. They took their time,

114
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,280
Speaker 6: They got to know each other.

115
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,159
Speaker 5: So you know, he's.

116
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 2: Good someone that has a daughter that's only a year

117
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 2: apo in his girlfriend and he's considerably older than me.

118
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 3: Yeah. I have a hard time with that. I really would.

119
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 6: Do you now feel the need to have to tell

120
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 6: your daughter something that you think is obvious?

121
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 7: No?

122
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 2: Because I showed her the picture and her reaction was

123
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 2: the same as ninety nine point.

124
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 3: Of girls her.

125
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 6: Age, like, yeah, yeah, there's definitely a ew.

126
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:25,160
Speaker 3: That's a big oh factor.

127
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 8: Right.

128
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 3: So the NBA season is over, Montcy.

129
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 2: You went out on the limbs, yes, six weeks ago,

130
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 2: picking the Dallas Mavericks to win the NBA Championship.

131
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 3: They came up short.

132
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 2: Last week, of course, we were talking about the possibility

133
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 2: of them extending the series. They crushed the Celtics in

134
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 2: Game four at home, and my reaction to that loss

135
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 2: was as well, as Dallas played a team desperate, Boston

136
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 2: mailed it in. Now you're playing with fire when you're

137
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 2: doing something like that. In fact, we'll talk about what's

138
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 2: going on with the Stanley Cup final, because all of

139
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 2: a sudden that's gone to a game seven. But as

140
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 2: far as the NBA Finals are concerned, we saw Boston

141
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:08,679
Speaker 2: dominate from the opening tip off to win their championship.

142
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 2: So I found this is the thing I really found

143
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 2: interesting Montsi because as soon as the game's over, everyone's like, oh,

144
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 2: is this the first of many championships?

145
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 3: You know, this is a team that did it right.

146
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 3: They built from you know, corps and everything else.

147
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 2: I'm like, isn't that exactly what we said about Denver

148
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 2: last year? Ye that they built through the draft, kept

149
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:32,559
Speaker 2: their nucleus together, made the step moves, made a couple

150
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 2: of moves, you know, stuck with the same coach and

151
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 2: everything else, and then eventually they won a championship. I

152
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 2: was one of those about in with Denver a year ago,

153
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 2: thinking this is a team that could win multiple championships.

154
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 2: And then this year happened, and you just saw Denver

155
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 2: sort of in and out of it all year long,

156
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 2: like they seemed motivated some games, other games they were

157
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 2: mailing in, and then it all came down to sort

158
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 2: of mailing in against Minnesota.

159
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 3: We'll be fine.

160
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,359
Speaker 2: Game seven at home, you blow it twenty point ly

161
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 2: in the third quarter, and your season is over. So

162
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:07,919
Speaker 2: I'm looking at the Celtics as I looked at the

163
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 2: Denver Denver team from a year ago, and the fact

164
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 2: that yes, they have the core talent. This team is

165
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 2: good enough to rattle off multiple championships. But keep in mind,

166
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 2: this is the sixth different team in the last six

167
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 2: years to win the NBA championship. It's not that easy.

168
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 5: It's not that easy.

169
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 6: And I love that you brought up the Nuggets because

170
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 6: the Nuggets did really play with their food throughout the

171
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 6: course of the playoffs, something that I think we've seen

172
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 6: the Celtics do over the past couple of years. We

173
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 6: even saw it early on losing to the Heat without

174
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:46,119
Speaker 6: Jimmy Butler. So I feel very misled, not just by

175
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 6: the MAVs because you did not play the way you

176
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 6: were playing MAVs. I also feel misled by the Celtics

177
00:07:53,560 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 6: because they absolutely crushed, dominated, kicked ass, took names. Because

178
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 6: of that, the finals were boring, Oh terribly so boring.

179
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 2: I mean literally, these are one of those finals three

180
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 2: or four years from now you're like, who won the

181
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 2: champ And you're like, I don't remember doing already.

182
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, Like yesterday I was working early, so the parade

183
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 6: was happening, and I was like, there's not even any

184
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 6: attention on the parade, like nobody even cares anymore.

185
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 3: Well, i mean we've already moved on.

186
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 2: Let's break down that Milwaukee Phoenix final of a couple

187
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 2: of years ago.

188
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 3: Anybody remember that.

189
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, let me let me tag in Dan Bayer because

190
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 6: that's his team there.

191
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:32,679
Speaker 3: I mean, this is the.

192
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 2: Problem when you when you have like this revolving door

193
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 2: of teams entering into the NBA finals, as opposed to

194
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 2: when you had the same two teams in the finals

195
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 2: four consecutive years. Yeah, with the Cavaliers and the Warriors,

196
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 2: and so that sort of all a bunch together. One

197
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 2: thing I found very interesting. I'm watching this last game, right,

198
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 2: Jason Tatum said him in a really good game, and

199
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,319
Speaker 2: all the focuses on Jason Tatum, Right the game is over,

200
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 2: He's doing the same thing you've seen Jordan do and

201
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,559
Speaker 2: Kobe you know where they're like crying they win a

202
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 2: championship and everything else.

203
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 3: And then they announced the NBA Finals MVP. Yeah, and it.

204
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:16,959
Speaker 2: Goes to Jalen Brown. And I'm thinking to myself, think

205
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,679
Speaker 2: about this. Jason Tatum, first team All NBA the last

206
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:26,119
Speaker 2: three years in the Finals, led the team in scoring, rebounding,

207
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 2: and assist all three categories.

208
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 3: There were ten people that voted.

209
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:36,319
Speaker 2: Four people voted for Jason Tatum, six voted for Jalen Brown.

210
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 2: And Jalen Brown is the Finals MVP, So why do

211
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 2: you believe that he was named the MVP of the Finals?

212
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 6: So I think the Celtics won as a team, right,

213
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 6: There was no one star. There were moments that Jalen

214
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 6: Brown had throughout the entire playoff series, more moments than

215
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 6: other players.

216
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 5: But Derek White was doing amazing for them.

217
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 6: Obviously, Chris porzingis that first game back, the excitement, So.

218
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 2: Drew Holiday, Drew Holliday, I mean he should have been

219
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 2: considered for MVP.

220
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,079
Speaker 6: But see, there were just like a lot of moments

221
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 6: spread out amongst the team. There wasn't one that stood

222
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 6: out over everybody else. And the reason I think Jalen

223
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 6: Brown got it is because he had the most moments

224
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 6: you thought of, whether it was blocking, whether it was

225
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 6: having a thirty five point game.

226
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 5: He, I think just had the most moments that you remember.

227
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:29,959
Speaker 6: If you would have actually I think I did read

228
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 6: that after that Tatum led in all those categories. I

229
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 6: don't know if I would have known that, Like, if

230
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:36,680
Speaker 6: you would have just asked me to guess, I would

231
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 6: have been like, well, let me see.

232
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 5: Maybe Brown Lenon.

233
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,079
Speaker 2: I would imagine this is never happening before where a

234
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 2: first team All NBA player leads his team in all

235
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 2: three major categories in the NBA Finals and doesn't walk

236
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 2: away with the MVP.

237
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 5: Awe, he did not stand out.

238
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 6: They won as a team, Yeah, they won as a

239
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 6: five you know, seven man team for sure.

240
00:10:58,360 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 3: I hate the Celtics.

241
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 2: Come on, I just this was hard for me, as

242
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 2: a lifelong Lakers fan to watch the Celtics break the tie.

243
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 2: It took a long time for the Lakers to finally

244
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 2: catch the Celtics at seventeen a piece, but now the

245
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 2: Celtics are on top. Well, the question now moving forward

246
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 2: is can the Lakers catch them On the other side,

247
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 2: We're going to start the unraveling of what the Lakers

248
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 2: are doing to ensure that they will be NBA champions

249
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 2: for the twenty twenty four to twenty five season.

250
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 3: Did they make the right move? I think you already

251
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 3: know the answer, but we'll embellish. This is Fox Sports Saturday.

266
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 2: a Shock? JJ Reddick reportedly the new head coach of

00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 2: the Los Angeles Lakers.

268
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 3: Hey, why not? He's been coaching his kids team. Sure,

269
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 3: it's ready to roll. He has kids, He has kids,

270

Speaker 3: He has kids, and he's coached the kids team.

271
00:12:56,400 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 5: Well that's good. Yeah, yeah, certainly to be the easiest

272
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 5: transition for him.

273
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 3: What what what?

274
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 2: What was this whole charade about? Here, here's what I

275
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 2: here's what I still want to know. We still really

276
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:12,959
Speaker 2: have not defined what happened with that Dan Hurley.

277
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 5: All right, it's even more bizarre.

278
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 3: Now think about it.

279
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 2: So no one, nobody was talking about Dan Hurley until

280
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 2: WOJ did, who has a direct connection to Dan Hurley.

281
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 2: And the next thing you know, he's flying out to

282
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:33,479
Speaker 2: LA to meet with the Lakers, and wog is reporting

283
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 2: that they're going to make an offer so incredible there's

284
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 2: no way.

285
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 3: He's going to turn it down.

286
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,199
Speaker 2: And he's been he's been there, number one guy from

287
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 2: the get go. So Hurley comes in, they don't make

288
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 2: him an incredible offer, he turns it down. And now

289
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 2: the guy that we have been saying is going to

290
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 2: be the guy from the get go, because after all,

291
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 2: he does co host a podcast with the Lebron James.

292
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,199
Speaker 3: That's got to qualify you to be a head coach

293
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 3: of one of the most fable franchises of all time.

294
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 2: By the way, I talk about hating the Celtics, I

295
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 2: hate Duke And if you hate Duke, jj Reddick is

296
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 2: one of the all time Dukers.

297
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 5: So then how are you going to handle this? How

298
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 5: are you going to handle.

299
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 2: I'll look at it this way. There, if they win

300
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 2: a championship, I can turn real quick. But I'll tell

301
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 2: you one thing. He's got two strikes against him already already.

302
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah.

303
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 2: Strike one is the fact that he's not qualified for

304
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 2: the job. Strike two is that if you are a

305
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 2: Duke hater, Reddick is right up there with the all timers.

306
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 5: So all right, not qualified?

307
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:47,119
Speaker 6: And I agree, I agree, But who did the Lakers

308
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 6: really have?

309
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 3: That's a great who wants the job?

310
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 5: Who wants the job? Who were really the options?

311
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 6: It's just because of Lebron James and everything that he

312
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 6: brings to the table, good and bad. They're not in

313
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 6: a normal situation. You can't just go get somebody that

314
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 6: you think is gonna be good. You have to go

315
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 6: get somebody that Lebron says yes, and that Lebron mutually respects, right,

316
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 6: Like that has to be there, All of that has

317
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 6: to be there. I feel like the things that a

318
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 6: typical GM or a typical team is looking and checking

319
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 6: off a box, where not the things the Lakers had

320
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 6: to check off. They had to check off several things

321
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 6: that surround Lebron James. So already it's a limited pool

322
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 6: of people.

323
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 5: That they could pick from.

324
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 6: All right, They're not gonna lure anybody away, as they

325
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 6: were unsuccessful with Dan Hurley. I don't think they had

326
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 6: many options. And it's just, yeah, JJ Redick is not qualified.

327
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 6: But we have seen JJ Reddick express when he is

328
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 6: doing play, not play by play, but when he's covering

329
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 6: a game. He has a high basketball like you. You

330
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 6: can hear it when he talks about it. He understands

331
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 6: the game. He wasn't a point guard. He was a

332
00:15:56,440 --> 00:16:00,120
Speaker 6: shooting guard, which is also a different perspective. But he

333
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 6: he understands the game, and he I think has a

334
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 6: good eye, and I think he could.

335
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 5: Be a good coach. I think he could be a

336
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 5: good coach.

337
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 3: All right.

338
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 2: So it's interesting that in his fifteen years that he

339
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 2: played in the NBA as a hired gun I mean,

340
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 2: that's essentially.

341
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 3: What he was.

342
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 2: Wasn't an All Star, nothing like that, and just failed

343
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 2: for the I mean, but he was yeah, exactly.

344
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 3: He played for a lot of bad coaches, because he

345
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 3: played for a lot of bad teams in the course

346
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 3: of his NBA career. But he also played for one

347
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 3: of the greatest coaches in the history college basketball, and

348
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 3: coach Mike Krzyzewski. By the way, I will say this

349
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 3: about patience with the Lakers. Mike Krzyzewski, had he been

350
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:50,359
Speaker 3: hired by Duke twenty years later, would never have survived.

351
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 3: Understand this one. Mike Shichefski was hired this completely unknown

352
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 3: People didn't know how to pronounce his name or anything

353
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 3: about this young coach whould coach their army.

354
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 2: Duke was a real good basketball team at the time.

355
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,239
Speaker 2: In fact, just three years before his first season, they

356
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 2: were in the NCAA Championship Game, and the fact that

357
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 2: they had fallen short of that is the reason that

358
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 2: got rid of the coach that preceded him. His first

359
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 2: three years at Duke were three losing seasons. Duke hadn't

360
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 2: had three straight losing seasons in years. Everybody was like,

361
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:28,400
Speaker 2: this guy sucks.

362
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 3: Get rid of him.

363
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 2: But the athletic director who made the hire said we're

364
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 2: going to stay with this guy, and three years later

365
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 2: he had him in their first championship game and the

366
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 2: rest is history. This is one of the big problems

367
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 2: with all these guys that have been hired as coach

368
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:45,439
Speaker 2: of the Lakers since Phil Jackson, none of them have

369
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 2: lasted more than three years. For the lakers sake, this

370
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:54,160
Speaker 2: has to be hopefully more than just pleasing Lebron James.

371
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 2: You've got to get your roots done. The overall records

372
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,919
Speaker 2: Genie Bus took over ownership of the team is an embarrassment.

373
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 2: An embarrassment for a Laker franchise that has the history

374
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 2: that it has. One way to correct that and get

375
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 2: this franchise back on track is to do what the

376
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 2: Denver Nuggets did, build a core, stay with it, what

377
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 2: the Celtics did to rebuild their dynasty, build a corps

378
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 2: and stay with it. That's something that the Lakers have

379
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 2: not done under the ownership of Genie Bus. And I'm

380
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:37,680
Speaker 2: hoping that JJ Reddick will get the opportunity to grow

381
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 2: into the job and be the coach, not just because

382
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 2: Lebron wants him there, but because he is the right

383
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 2: guy into the future for this like organization.

384
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 6: I mean, they can't build from within right now. That

385
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:53,639
Speaker 6: can be done in a couple of years and hold

386
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 6: the core group because Lebron is what maybe two three

387
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,639
Speaker 6: years left, so they can't take that out yet. But

388
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,439
Speaker 6: they obviously like something in JJ Reddick. They offered him

389
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 6: four years when we was last time they offered a

390
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 6: coach more than three years and the number wasn't that

391
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 6: what Tylu wanted?

392
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 5: If this year a couple of years ago, wasn't that

393
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:12,120
Speaker 5: the number eight.

394
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 3: Mil a year they're still paying Darvinham.

395
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 6: Then they're still right. So it's like I think they're

396
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,359
Speaker 6: taking I think they like JJ Reddick. You know, apparently

397
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 6: they had their first conversation during the NBA Draft combine.

398
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 6: That's the first conversation that how with JJ Reddick Rock

399
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,120
Speaker 6: Bolinka for like two hours or something, and then yeah,

400
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 6: they liked his the way he spoke about basketball and

401
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 6: his IQ and they think he's going to relate to

402
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:34,920
Speaker 6: the players.

403
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 5: And I think they're taking a big swing. But I don't.

404
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 6: I don't think it wouldn't shock me if he's a

405
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 6: good coach, it just would not shock me.

406
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:45,120
Speaker 3: I hope he's a good coach.

407
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I don't because I don't.

408
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:49,120
Speaker 3: Like against him. He has two strikes against him.

409
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 6: I said that, right, But you said the strikes can

410
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 6: be raised if he brings you a championship.

411
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 2: Absolutely, yeah, absolutely, he could change that whole dynamic. I

412
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 2: think could become the biggest Look, I'm old enough to

413
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,440
Speaker 2: remember when pat Rye was elevated to be the head

414
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,919
Speaker 2: coach of Lakers. At the time, it seemed like a joke.

415
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 2: The guy had been chick Hern's sidekick, and only because

416
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:09,879
Speaker 2: of it. You saw in the Winning Time where the

417
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 2: head coach, Jack McKinney had been hired, and then he

418
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 2: gets into a bicycle accidentally. They have to elevate Paul

419
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 2: westhead and he needs an assistant. So they're like, all right, well,

420
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 2: no longer you the chick hern sidekick. You're going to

421
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:23,400
Speaker 2: be an assistant coach. And then he becomes a head coach.

422
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,159
Speaker 2: But when he became head coach, it was like a joke.

423
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:30,160
Speaker 2: No one believed that pat Riley had any business being

424
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 2: a head coach in the NBA, and he became a

425
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 2: Hall of Famer. So I'm hoping that it's the right

426
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 2: hire now again, this team needs to add some pieces.

427
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 2: Drafting Brownie James next week does not seem like that

428
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:50,160
Speaker 2: would be something of an immediate help with the idea

429
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 2: that Laker fans, true Laker fans are thinking, we need

430
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,959
Speaker 2: to win a championship now like this year. We need

431
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 2: to add pieces to make this team a championship team

432
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 2: this season. Using a draft pick on a kid that

433
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 2: at this point of his career has no business in

434
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:14,679
Speaker 2: the NBA other than the fact that he's Lebron James'

435
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 2: son is not gonna help this team win a championship

436
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 2: next season.

437
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:19,879
Speaker 5: No, it's not.

438
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:23,160
Speaker 6: And all it's gonna do is make the Lakers continue

439
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 6: to be a point of talking a conversation piece, because

440
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:29,479
Speaker 6: that's what the Lakers want.

441
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 5: They want us to keep talking about them because.

442
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 6: They are gonna make money if we keep talking about them,

443
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,439
Speaker 6: if they continue to be the brand that the Lakers

444
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:41,479
Speaker 6: have always been. So even though this could be a

445
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 6: bad thing, I think they're thinking it's still gonna be

446
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 6: in the long term good because it's gonna keep Lebron

447
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 6: there and people are gonna want to come see Lebron

448
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:54,120
Speaker 6: and Bronnie with JJ reddick I Before we completely move on.

449
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 5: From this subject.

450
00:21:56,240 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 6: I am surprised JJ Reddick took the job because I

451
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 6: feel that I would be like, you just left a

452
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,399
Speaker 6: bad taste in my mouth. You told me you wanted me,

453
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,400
Speaker 6: and then you went in a public story that you

454
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 6: offered Dan Hurly money, and then you put me off

455
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 6: to the side, and then he said no, and now

456
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 6: you want me again. I feel like, how does that

457
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,160
Speaker 6: not leave a bad taste in your mouth? How does

458
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 6: that not start a relationship on a negative note, even

459
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 6: though he may not act like it.

460
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:26,159
Speaker 5: That's what I would be thinking.

461
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 6: I'm not your first choice, and everybody knows that, not

462
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:32,680
Speaker 6: just me everything, So.

463
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:35,640
Speaker 3: This would be like, you're engaged to some guy.

464
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 5: Okay, right, yeah, okay, you got.

465
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 3: Your wedding plan.

466
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 2: You know, I got a little business where we're gonna

467
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:42,879
Speaker 2: get the wedding date, and then all of a sudden

468
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 2: in the meantime, you're like, well, I'm gonna I'm gonna

469
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 2: go out with this other girl. Yeah, in fact, I'm

470
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 2: gonna actually ask her to marry me, but then she

471
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 2: turned me down.

472
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna come back to.

473
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 5: You, hey, exactly exactly.

474
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,480

00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:55,199
Speaker 10: never know.

519
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,399
Speaker 5: I like the Lakers situation, So how do you think.

520
00:24:58,280 --> 00:24:59,239
Speaker 3: She would have handled this?

521
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:02,120
Speaker 2: Where you've planned to get married all this time and

522
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:06,400
Speaker 2: then you decided to detour and actually ask another girl

523
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 2: to marry you, then turns you down, and then you

524
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 2: come back to your original and say, look, you know

525
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 2: you've really been the one all along.

526
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,920
Speaker 10: Here's here's what I think with the JJ Reddick situation.

527
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,719
Speaker 10: I think he was the first one all along. But

528
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:23,359
Speaker 10: they threw that thing about Hurley just as a facade

529
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 10: to get your attention away from thinking that he was

530
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 10: the guy, and to make it look like there was

531
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:28,440
Speaker 10: a competition.

532
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:30,439
Speaker 3: I think it was like a smokescreen.

533
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 2: I don't know if Hurley wasn't the guy, they could

534
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 2: have from the get go saying we have no interest

535
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:38,640
Speaker 2: in Dan Hurley.

536
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 3: JJ Reddy is our guy, much loved.

537
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 10: He could have said that from the get go, right,

538
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:46,200
Speaker 10: much loved Adrian Orginowski. But you know he's got he's

539
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:48,639
Speaker 10: been burned on a company, he got scorched on that.

540
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:51,639
Speaker 10: So he's looking for something. Yeah, the guy from the

541
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,199
Speaker 10: Athletic is killing him. Yeah, And I think he was

542
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 10: looking for something. I'm not saying that that he reached

543
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 10: a little bit to come up with this story with Hurley,

544
00:25:58,560 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 10: but he knew he had to do.

545
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,399
Speaker 2: But it makes the Lakers look bad, Yes, that's what

546
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 2: that's that's you know. I mean, we could talk about

547
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:09,879
Speaker 2: woaj he'll survive, but the Lakers look doubly bad. And

548
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 2: by the way, again, we have not been introduced to

549
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 2: JJ Reddick as the new head coach of the Lakers.

550
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 10: Yet, although I've seen Austin Reeves wasn't Arkansas, where he

551
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:21,959
Speaker 10: spent a lot of time. He was interviewed by an

552
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:25,359
Speaker 10: Arkansas local sports reporter about the situation.

553
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:27,880
Speaker 3: So I haven't they introduced him as the new head coach.

554
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 3: That's a great question. What are they waiting for? I

555
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 3: have no idea the draft is this week? Who knows.

556
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 10: I'm sure we'll find out at some point, hopefully, and

557
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 10: if not, Monsie or Steve, you'll be in the running.

558
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 10: In the running for no thanks anyway, because they would.

559
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 3: Force me to dress nights and nights simply you don't

560
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 3: want to do that.

561
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 5: They would just ask for a different polo every day.

562
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 5: You're fine, all right.

563
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 10: Nice thing about the nice thing about the material, since

564
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 10: it's radio people can't see. But the nice thing about

565
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:58,879
Speaker 10: the material of that collared shirt, Steve, is that you

566
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 10: can wear that like five in a row and you

567
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 10: won't have a lot of bo oh yeah.

568
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, So that's the good thing about it. Yeah, yeah,

569
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:07,400

Speaker 3: let you know how it goes in. I love Dodgers Stadium,

630
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 3: though there's anything like it. Yeah, there's nothing like you.

631
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 2: No, there's nothing like you. I'm getting ready for your

632
00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 2: big who's your daddy question? Giving it up a little

633
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 2: bit later on. All right, once again, thank you bfinn.

634
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 2: We're coming live from the tay raq dot com studios.

635
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 2: So every Saturday we touch upon the WNBA because the

636
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 2: WNBA continues to not just b news, it is sort

637
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 2: of the news on the sports Ledger. Right now, the

638
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 2: dog days of summer NBA season is over. We're gonna

639
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 2: get into the Game seven of the Stanley Cup Final

640
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 2: between Florida and Edmonton. Looking forward to that. But the

641
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 2: w NBA stays in the news because of not one,

642
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 2: but two ladies, Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese. And Angel

643
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 2: Reese has masterfully played off of Caitlin Clark's fame to

644
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 2: become famous herself.

645
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 5: I mean, she was already famous.

646
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 2: But it's just interesting to me again that the WNBA

647
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 2: has all these star players. Yes, I mean Asia Wilson

648
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 2: is unreal. I mean, she's she dominates this league. Yes,

649
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 2: she's a champion, she leads the league in the Nobody

650
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 2: talks about her. Nobody, absolutely no, I mean the local

651
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 2: fans do, but nobody in the general public is talking

652
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 2: about her.

653
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 3: She's the best player in this league.

654
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 2: And then, I mean, I could go down the list

655
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 2: of great players in the WNBA, But right now the

656
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:22,959
Speaker 2: focus is on two ladies that tomorrow will match up

657
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 2: once again. This game in Chicago, I was showing you

658
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 2: online ticket prices for the upper section and you were saying,

659
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:33,960
Speaker 2: how much were you paying for tickets?

660
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 7: Like that?

661
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 6: I went to the Vegas Aces game last July and

662
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 6: I sat at the very last row.

663
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 5: It's like a two hundred section. It was a great seat.

664
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 5: I paid ten dollars.

665
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 3: Ten dollars so the two hundred section.

666
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 2: In Chicago, the upper section tickets are listed at almost

667
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 2: two hundred dollars each.

668
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, no upper section. Yeah, very exciting WNBA game.

669
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 2: It is exciting for this league, and I hope that

670
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 2: they can really take advantage of it. But let's face it,

671
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 2: the majority of people that are wannabes, you know, Bandwagon,

672
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 2: and that's fine.

673
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 3: I have no problem with Bandwagon fans by the way.

674
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not that they really want to see a

675
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 2: shootout between Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese. They want fisticuffs

676
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 2: like they would love to see like Angel Reaves drop

677
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:22,960
Speaker 2: the hammer on Kaitlin Clark, but this time Kaitlyn Clark

678
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 2: is like enough already and jumps her and the girls

679
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 2: are going after each other and it would just be

680
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 2: like international news.

681
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 6: Yes, I do believe that there are lots of fans

682
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 6: out there that want to go for the drama.

683
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 11: Oh, But at the same time, I think they would

684
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 11: be very happy if they went to a game like that,

685
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 11: and Caitlin Clark dropped thirty hit you know, three threes

686
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 11: from Deep, and then Angel Reese got another double double.

687
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 5: Like, I think people would still walk out happy, but

688
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 5: you're right, like.

689
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 6: Inside, subtly they're waiting for the drama, you know what

690
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 6: I mean.

691
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 2: Angel, we drop that Haruner No at this time, Caitlin

692
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 2: Clark's I got enough side.

693
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 5: It would be such good reality TV, which is sports

694
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 5: right reality TV.

695
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 6: So yeah, I agree, but I think people would just

696
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 6: be happy, honestly seeing them both go off against each other.

697
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 5: That's that's also.

698
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 3: By the way, the NBA in the nineties was that.

699
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 2: Yes, I mean when you had a guy like Bill

700
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 2: Lambert with the pistons, he just didn't care, he didn't care.

701
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 2: He would do things that were so blatant, yeah, to

702
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 2: instigate fights, and then you have free for alls, I

703
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 2: mean the infamous Malice in the Power and then Ronard

704
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 2: Tests going into the stands unfortunately going after the wrong

705
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 2: guy by the way, well he was fired up, and

706
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 2: then you saw a fan on the court get jumped.

707
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 5: That entire sequence.

708
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 3: It was unreal, unreal.

709
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 2: I was working I was working at the CBS affiliate

710
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 2: TV that night, and I was on the on the

711
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 2: news set.

712
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 3: She wanted the news anchor.

713
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 2: Longtime news anchor Pat Harvey and I were on the

714
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:10,279
Speaker 2: set together and she's like, explain what's going on.

715
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:12,879
Speaker 3: I'm like, Okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna tell you something.

716
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:13,880
Speaker 3: We never seen this.

717
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 2: Before, so you're gonna be watching like me for the

718
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:19,200
Speaker 2: first time, and I'm gonna try to take you into this.

719
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:22,799
Speaker 3: This is not good for the league, yeah, but it

720
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:24,440
Speaker 3: is good for the league, all right.

721
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 2: Because everyone's talking about it m hm. So you know

722
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 2: that's that's something that has to sort of weigh in. Like,

723
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:35,880
Speaker 2: as long as there's this tension, yes, whether it's manufactured

724
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 2: or reel between Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark, it's a

725
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 2: winner for the WNBA.

726
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:48,920
Speaker 6: Yes, tension with other teams, drama with other players. But

727
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 6: the tension that we thought was happening maybe in the

728
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 6: locker room with the Indiana fever, I think is going away,

729
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:56,359
Speaker 6: which is a good thing.

730
00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:57,720
Speaker 3: I saw that they've.

731
00:34:57,560 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 5: Won four in a row.

732
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:02,880
Speaker 6: And in a recent presser, Kaitlyn Clark was asked about

733
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 6: her turnovers, which a lot of them are passes right

734
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:09,440
Speaker 6: that she can't get them in the perfect the perfect spot.

735
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 6: She kind of started, she's very good, Kaitlyn Clark are

736
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:17,920
Speaker 6: responding to reporters, but Aliyah Boston jumped in her teammate,

737
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,560
Speaker 6: her teammate who was the former number one pick last

738
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 6: year from South Carolina. Right, she jumped in and was like,

739
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:27,320
Speaker 6: I got it, And she's basically just said, Kitlyn is

740
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:29,440
Speaker 6: going to keep passing the ball and we're gonna get

741
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:31,399
Speaker 6: better at it and we're gonna like it was such

742
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 6: a nice moment which we hadn't seen. Right, So the

743
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:38,360
Speaker 6: tension that we want, it's like tension, but against other teams,

744
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:39,760
Speaker 6: there should be no tension.

745
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:43,600
Speaker 2: In the fact that her teammates now multiple teammates are

746
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:47,719
Speaker 2: being more verbal in their support of her. Yes, is

747
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:50,759
Speaker 2: something that is developing, and of course that coincides with

748
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:51,360
Speaker 2: the fact.

749
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 3: That they have rattle off for state wins. Right. You know,

750
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 3: suddenly we're winning games.

751
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:58,400
Speaker 2: And when you think about the horrific start that the

752
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:01,400
Speaker 2: Fever got off to this year, well above five hundred

753
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 2: over the last I don't know, ten games or so,

754
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 2: so they're playing much better. And I think now because

755
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:11,400
Speaker 2: they're winning, her teammates are suddenly saying, all right, maybe

756
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:14,600
Speaker 2: it's good for us. To have Caitlin Clark on our team.

757
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:16,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, they're starting to look like a team.

758
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 3: All right.

759
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 2: Coming up on the other side, who's your daddy? Now,

760
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 2: this is again a MONSI creation. I had nothing to

761
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:28,279
Speaker 2: do with this, and we'll see if once again I

762
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:30,880
Speaker 2: can come up with a few baffling answers to some

763
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:31,840
Speaker 2: crazy questions.

777
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:11,360
Speaker 6: by the most points?

778
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 2: Okay, by the most points or by the biggest margin.

779
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 6: I mean, if you want to give me both answers,

780
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 6: that's fine, but I was going by the most points.

781
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:20,760
Speaker 3: The most points I believe is O. J. Simpson. Yep,

782
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 3: so that was the question.

783
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:25,880
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, that's he had the most first place of votes.

784
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 3: Yes, correct that five. By the way, that.

785
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:34,319

790
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:52,759

00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:04,000
Speaker 2: I'm gonna guess Joe Burrow.

00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:06,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, you're so annoying. That's correct.

Speaker 2: a draw in the eight where I was in college

856
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 2: at that point. Can you give us more details about

857
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:25,680
Speaker 2: your mom and Playboy?

858
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:28,600
Speaker 10: So she went to UCLA, and I'm trying to figure

859
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:30,880
Speaker 10: out because when you were there, see what years were

860
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 10: you there?

861
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:32,239
Speaker 3: Seventy six to eighty one?

862
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:35,880
Speaker 10: Okay, so you were at UCLA at the same time. Correct,

863
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:38,279
Speaker 10: So she graduated in eighty.

864
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:40,239
Speaker 2: Which was the year I should have graduated. I stayed

865
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:42,319
Speaker 2: a fifth year. We're the same year. She graduated high

866
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 2: school in seventy six.

867
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:47,520
Speaker 10: Yeah, well she actually took like five years to graduate college.

868
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:49,400
Speaker 3: Okay, so that's what I did, all right, Yeah, so

869
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:51,400
Speaker 3: she was a year ahead of me, she was.

870
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:55,040
Speaker 10: Yeah, and she decided, well, first of all, she had

871
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:57,759
Speaker 10: gotten a call to do. At the time, it was

872
00:41:57,760 --> 00:41:59,520
Speaker 10: called this is way back when they had the Girls

873
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:00,319
Speaker 10: of the Pac ten.

874
00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah.

875
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:04,839
Speaker 10: And so what they did is that Playboy would have

876
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:09,120
Speaker 10: these segments in their magazines where they would showcase women

877
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:13,920
Speaker 10: from every university in the conference. The one thing that

878
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:17,560
Speaker 10: she attests to, and she is correct, is that it

879
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:21,480
Speaker 10: wasn't a nude so it was it was strictly bathing suit.

880
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:25,760
Speaker 10: They wanted her afterwards to do more shoots. They wanted

881
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:28,399
Speaker 10: her to bear it all and she said, no, I'm

882
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:31,040
Speaker 10: not doing it. So that's my mom and I'm proud

883
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:34,279
Speaker 10: of her. Fad she ever met Hugh Hefner. She got

884
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:39,360
Speaker 10: invited to the mansion, yes, but she never met him.

885
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:42,040
Speaker 2: Interesting And how do her parents feel about her appearing

886
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:43,239
Speaker 2: in Playboy magazine.

887
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:46,720
Speaker 3: I think they were very proud of her, of her daughter.

888
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:50,680
Speaker 10: And you know it's okay, Steve, like way back then,

889
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:53,719
Speaker 10: we won't tell anybody, like if you happen to buy you.

890
00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:56,319
Speaker 3: Know that that episode or that math, well, I'm gonna know.

891
00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:58,880
Speaker 2: I'm gonna look it up because I used to have it.

892
00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:08,360
Speaker 2: I mean for research purposes, find the stats. Thank you

893
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 2: very much, uh Manzi. I wanted to talk a little

894
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:18,160
Speaker 2: bit about the passing of Willie Mays. Willie Mays, in

895
00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:21,000
Speaker 2: my opinion and in the opinion of most people that

896
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:25,000
Speaker 2: have followed the history of baseball, was the greatest all

897
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:27,879
Speaker 2: around talent that ever played the game. And we talked

898
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:32,719
Speaker 2: about five tool players. It's overused, but Willie Mays was

899
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:36,240
Speaker 2: that guy. He could hit, he could hit for power,

900
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:40,319
Speaker 2: he could field, he could throw, and he could run.

901
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:40,840
Speaker 3: The bases.

902
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:43,920
Speaker 2: He led the league in stolen bases four times, and

903
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:47,319
Speaker 2: he led the league in home runs four times. That

904
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:49,880
Speaker 2: there's no one like that. I mean, we talk about

905
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:52,440
Speaker 2: the guy that we watched now with Shoheo Tani and

906
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:55,160
Speaker 2: his ability to pitch, but want you just talk about

907
00:43:55,719 --> 00:44:00,200
Speaker 2: playing the game of baseball. The greatest talent ever to

908
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:04,280
Speaker 2: play the game, in my opinion, and I'm certainly not alone,

909
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:05,080
Speaker 2: was Willy Mays.

910
00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:07,440
Speaker 3: I actually got to see Willy.

911
00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:10,480
Speaker 2: Mays play for the Giants when I was thirteen years old,

912
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:13,600
Speaker 2: nineteen seventy one Dodgers. He came out to dot and

913
00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:15,560
Speaker 2: I just thought of my which like an out of

914
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:18,520
Speaker 2: body experience to see him, because the year before I

915
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:21,040
Speaker 2: went to see a Braves game where Hank Aaron was

916
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:23,400
Speaker 2: in the game. You know, So I saw these legends

917
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:25,640
Speaker 2: and I got to meet Hank Aaron on a number

918
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:29,040
Speaker 2: of occasions, wonderful man. Willie Mays was a little more

919
00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:32,839
Speaker 2: difficult of a personality. But they had this historic game

920
00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:36,080
Speaker 2: there in Birmingham in honor of the old Negro leagues

921
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:38,600
Speaker 2: and Willie Mays, and Willy was really going to be

922
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:42,239
Speaker 2: a part of this. And then he passed away, you know,

923
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:45,680
Speaker 2: and he had long, long life, obviously ninety three years old.

924
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:50,719
Speaker 2: But this is the thing about baseball that if you're

925
00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:53,480
Speaker 2: not a baseball fan, and I get it, I mean,

926
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:57,959
Speaker 2: baseball is a nineteenth century sport that is still trying

927
00:44:58,000 --> 00:44:59,920
Speaker 2: to breathe in the twenty first century.

928
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:01,200
Speaker 3: Are you a baseball fan?

929
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:03,560
Speaker 2: I mean you you've covered at Dodger Stadium and he

930
00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:05,400
Speaker 2: worked there for years with the Dodgers.

931
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:08,120
Speaker 3: But are you really a baseball fan?

932
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:10,520
Speaker 5: I think I am now, but I wasn't.

933
00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:14,760
Speaker 6: I became a baseball fan in you know, like seventh

934
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:17,719
Speaker 6: or eighth grade. I've always been a basketball fan. Yeah,

935
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:20,640
Speaker 6: that's what I watched. My parents watch basketball. They watched soccer,

936
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:23,240
Speaker 6: so baseball and American football.

937
00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:24,600
Speaker 5: I kind of like had to pick up on my

938
00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:25,560
Speaker 5: own type of thing.

939
00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:29,840
Speaker 6: But baseball, yeah, no, I thought it was very boring, boring.

940
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:31,919
Speaker 6: I played softball and I thought it was really boring,

941
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:33,560
Speaker 6: which is why I was a pitcher. I was like me,

942
00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:36,240
Speaker 6: the ball, I can't sis, I can't be in the outfield.

943
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:40,280
Speaker 5: Don't put me there. But it is a slow sport

944
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:41,840
Speaker 5: and it took him in it.

945
00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:44,239
Speaker 6: But now I would say I'm a fan because now

946
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:46,840
Speaker 6: if I watch something and it doesn't things don't go

947
00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:48,800
Speaker 6: my way with the Dodgers, I get mad and it

948
00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:49,680
Speaker 6: gets under my skin.

949
00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:50,799
Speaker 5: So I think I'm a fan.

950
00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:53,560
Speaker 2: Now, well, I will say this, if you had been

951
00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:56,000
Speaker 2: old enough to see Willie Mays, and really May's the

952
00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:59,080
Speaker 2: prime of his career was even before my time. He

953
00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:01,959
Speaker 2: was excitement on the field. Yes, I mean he could

954
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:03,800
Speaker 2: do it all. I mean he could run the bases,

955
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:07,160
Speaker 2: he could hit, hit with power, his fielding twelve straight

956
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:09,320
Speaker 2: gold gloves. I mean, you know the over the shoulder

957
00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:13,680
Speaker 2: catch in the nineteen fifty four Worlds Jeries crazy talent.

958
00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:17,400
Speaker 6: Is there anybody in today's game that reminds you?

959
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:19,920
Speaker 3: You know, when Ken Griffey Junior first came into the

960
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:22,279
Speaker 3: major leagues, a lot of people talked about, you know,

961
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:24,680
Speaker 3: he could field, he could hit, hit with power, stuff

962
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:27,719
Speaker 3: like that. He couldn't run the bases though, like Willie Mays,

963
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 3: That's what there were. Certain there are certain guys that

964
00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:32,240
Speaker 3: are close close.

965
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:33,960
Speaker 5: I mean, what about Elie de la Cruz.

966
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:36,520
Speaker 3: He's got along with He's got a long way to go.

967
00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:38,640
Speaker 5: But you mentioned stolen bases, which he's you know.

968
00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:42,240
Speaker 2: By the way, tomorrow you know have John Paul Morosi

969
00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:43,759
Speaker 2: on our show, we're going to I know he's going

970
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:45,960
Speaker 2: to be really into what they did down in Birmingham.

971
00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:47,799
Speaker 3: We talked a little bit about it last week.

972
00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:53,799
Speaker 2: But the MVP voting nowadays is a completely different thing

973
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:56,080
Speaker 2: that was back in Willie Mays's days because they look

974
00:46:56,120 --> 00:46:59,239
Speaker 2: at war like this warstat, which obviously when Willie Mays

975
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:03,120
Speaker 2: played it wasn't a war stat had there been now

976
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:05,960
Speaker 2: he won two MVPs, But had they had the war

977
00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:07,960
Speaker 2: stat back in those days, he probably would have won

978
00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:11,640
Speaker 2: at least seven. Because in that category now retro, you know,

979
00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:17,520
Speaker 2: they've don't ye hed just dominated year after year after year.

980
00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:20,759
Speaker 2: So he was he was really special. I did get

981
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:23,759
Speaker 2: to meet him once, like I said, and I wasn't

982
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:26,560
Speaker 2: like disappointing. He just sort of a little stand offish.

983
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:27,440
Speaker 2: It didn't matter to me.

984
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:29,840
Speaker 3: Just to see Willie Mays just sort of blew my mind,

985
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:33,080
Speaker 3: yeah back because I mean, I mean, you talk about

986
00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:36,279
Speaker 3: Mount Rushmore, I mean, like this guy is it with

987
00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:39,520
Speaker 3: Willie May? So you know, no one lives forever. Obviously

988
00:47:39,719 --> 00:47:42,600
Speaker 3: he had a long life though, ninety three, that's long long.

989
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:45,480
Speaker 5: He did it all. He did a little bit of everything,

990
00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:46,120
Speaker 5: that's for sure.

991
00:47:46,239 --> 00:47:48,560
Speaker 2: He did, so that's that's good news. By the way,

992
00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:51,239
Speaker 2: I've been texting with a friend of mine about the

993
00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:52,520
Speaker 2: Lakers situation.

994
00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:55,760
Speaker 5: Did you get any inside scoop?

995
00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:56,160
Speaker 4: No?

996
00:47:56,440 --> 00:47:59,600
Speaker 2: And just the fact that it's embarrassing where the Lakers

997
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:02,960
Speaker 2: are right now, It really is. I mean, and I

998
00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:07,960
Speaker 2: think you brought up the best point, Mancie about being jilted,

999
00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:11,160
Speaker 2: like me, what is going through ahead of jj Reddick,

1000
00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:15,880
Speaker 2: because you know, once he's introduced, if indeed he's going

1001
00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:18,759
Speaker 2: to take the job, Because again, have they scheduled a

1002
00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:19,520
Speaker 2: press conference?

1003
00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:20,440
Speaker 3: I haven't heard anything.

1004
00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:21,239
Speaker 5: I've been heard about that.

1005
00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:25,040
Speaker 3: That's got to be the first question. Yeah, how do

1006
00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:28,640
Speaker 3: you feel about being the second choice and everyone knows

1007
00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:32,000
Speaker 3: it and everybody knows it, and apparently you're making less

1008
00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:33,919
Speaker 3: money than they offered the other guy?

1009
00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:36,000
Speaker 5: How do you feel about that? How did you put

1010
00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:38,840
Speaker 5: your ego to the side? Is this the beginning of

1011
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:40,320
Speaker 5: you putting your ego to the side because you have

1012
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:42,960
Speaker 5: to work with Lebron? Speaking of Lebron, are you still

1013
00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:44,000
Speaker 5: going to be doing your podcast?

1014
00:48:45,719 --> 00:48:49,200
Speaker 2: Order that we got all the questions, I wonder if

1015
00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:50,920
Speaker 2: they're going to wait till after the draft, because the

1016
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:54,600
Speaker 2: other question is are you comfortable picking a kid that

1017
00:48:54,719 --> 00:48:57,319
Speaker 2: shot thirty five percent from the field, averaging less than

1018
00:48:57,400 --> 00:49:00,520
Speaker 2: five points a game and using an actual drap on

1019
00:49:00,719 --> 00:49:02,440
Speaker 2: him just because he's Lebron's son.

1020
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:05,680
Speaker 3: Are you comfortable with that as the coach of the team? JJ? Reddick?

1021
00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:09,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, is that your decision or are they telling.

1022
00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:10,600
Speaker 3: You you're going to be doing They're not going to

1023
00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:11,520
Speaker 3: hold off till laughter.

1024
00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:13,200
Speaker 5: The Maybe they're going to hold off till after the draft.

1025
00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:15,040
Speaker 6: Hey, and if they do that, he can come out

1026
00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:17,200
Speaker 6: and say, actually, wasn't a part of the draft.

1027
00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:19,320
Speaker 5: You know, they made those decisions without me.

1028
00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:22,560
Speaker 3: Well, how do you feel about that? As the coup

1029
00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:23,520
Speaker 3: to the team.

1030
00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:26,840
Speaker 2: He's gonna be I mean, he's a member of the media,

1031
00:49:27,040 --> 00:49:29,240
Speaker 2: so you know, and he is a pretty smooth talker,

1032
00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:32,000
Speaker 2: and yeah, I mean he does impress people with the

1033
00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:34,000
Speaker 2: idea that he has a high basketball IQ.

1034
00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:36,080
Speaker 3: But what does that have to do with me?

1035
00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:40,840
Speaker 2: There there are very successful managers and coaches that honestly

1036
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:44,520
Speaker 2: are not all that bright in terms of x's and o's. Yeah,

1037
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:51,239
Speaker 2: what they seem to understand is handling huge egos and

1038
00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:54,920
Speaker 2: how to see One of the things that you go

1039
00:49:55,080 --> 00:50:00,239
Speaker 2: way back into the day of showtime Lakers. Is that

1040
00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:03,520
Speaker 2: every player on those teams had a very defined role,

1041
00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:05,239
Speaker 2: whether they liked it or not.

1042
00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:08,759
Speaker 3: This is what you're going to do. This is what

1043
00:50:09,040 --> 00:50:12,480
Speaker 3: you're going to do, and that's every game. And so

1044
00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:13,160
Speaker 3: their box.

1045
00:50:13,040 --> 00:50:15,440
Speaker 2: Scores are identical like game after game after game. But

1046
00:50:16,120 --> 00:50:20,520
Speaker 2: you're still talking egos here. Yeah, like Magic's the star, Kareem,

1047
00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:24,800
Speaker 2: but you're still the captain and big game, you know,

1048
00:50:24,920 --> 00:50:28,279
Speaker 2: big game James, You'll be like the third wheel.

1049
00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:29,680
Speaker 5: Right, but you're still star.

1050
00:50:29,920 --> 00:50:32,560
Speaker 2: But you're still an all star. Hey, we'll all reap

1051
00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:34,920
Speaker 2: the benefits if we continue to win chant. That's not

1052
00:50:35,040 --> 00:50:36,000
Speaker 2: an easy sell.

1053
00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:40,040
Speaker 6: No, but I don't have you ever met JJ No,

1054
00:50:40,360 --> 00:50:43,040
Speaker 6: I've never met him, and he does seem to I

1055
00:50:43,080 --> 00:50:43,720
Speaker 6: don't even.

1056
00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:48,560
Speaker 3: His hair is perfect, perfect is hare?

1057
00:50:48,680 --> 00:50:52,000
Speaker 5: So is yours? H So you have that in common.

1058
00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:56,719
Speaker 5: He seems like a little what is rigid to me?

1059
00:50:57,520 --> 00:50:58,839
Speaker 5: Like he does.

1060
00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:02,200
Speaker 6: He's a smooth talk but I feel like he almost

1061
00:51:02,360 --> 00:51:04,480
Speaker 6: like doesn't show emotion.

1062
00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:06,440
Speaker 3: Well, how did you feel about now? He had three

1063
00:51:06,520 --> 00:51:07,360
Speaker 3: years with the Clippers.

1064
00:51:07,520 --> 00:51:07,680
Speaker 7: Yeah.

1065
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:09,719
Speaker 3: No, In fact, one of those years he shot get

1066
00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:12,839
Speaker 3: this forty seven point three points.

1067
00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:13,120
Speaker 6: Yeah.

1068
00:51:13,520 --> 00:51:15,279
Speaker 3: One of the great three point shooters in the history

1069
00:51:15,280 --> 00:51:15,759
Speaker 3: of the NBA.

1070
00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:16,120
Speaker 6: Yeah.

1071
00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:18,320
Speaker 3: Were you a fan of Reddick when he was with

1072
00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:18,840
Speaker 3: the Clippers?

1073
00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:21,600
Speaker 6: I was, and then I wasn't when the playoffs came

1074
00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:24,960
Speaker 6: around because he just wouldn't He wasn't able to deliver

1075
00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:27,600
Speaker 6: when we needed him to, and he played well in

1076
00:51:27,719 --> 00:51:30,560
Speaker 6: games when when everybody was playing well, and when you know,

1077
00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:33,279
Speaker 6: others weren't, like our stars weren't playing well and we

1078
00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:33,959
Speaker 6: needed Judy.

1079
00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:38,200
Speaker 3: This this is distressing because you need somebody again.

1080
00:51:38,760 --> 00:51:43,280
Speaker 2: Nobody gives a crap about the regular season, No, nobody,

1081
00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:46,560
Speaker 2: nobody gives a crap. All they care about is what

1082
00:51:46,680 --> 00:51:49,239
Speaker 2: do you do in the playoffs? And yeah, so you

1083
00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:51,319
Speaker 2: know the Negros were coaches as well.

1084
00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:54,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, Like, my memories are more of him missing in

1085
00:51:54,640 --> 00:51:56,560
Speaker 6: the playoffs, you know, in those moments where it was.

1086
00:51:56,600 --> 00:51:59,080
Speaker 5: Like you made that shot a thousand times? How did

1087
00:51:59,120 --> 00:51:59,960
Speaker 5: you not make it right now?

1088
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:00,200
Speaker 1: Oh?

1089
00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:03,120
Speaker 5: Like, uh you know, yeah, yeah, this is my memory

1090
00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:06,680
Speaker 5: of JJ Reddick. But I we I think he was a.

1091
00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:11,120
Speaker 6: Fan favorite even though the playoffs just never went our way.

1092
00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:13,560
Speaker 6: I do think he was a fan favorite at the time,

1093
00:52:15,160 --> 00:52:15,320
Speaker 6: was he.

1094
00:52:16,600 --> 00:52:19,200
Speaker 2: I I just can't get past the Duke thing. I'm sorry,

1095
00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:22,280
Speaker 2: just well, yeah, to me, he was like the poster

1096
00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:23,640
Speaker 2: boy of duke basketball.

1097
00:52:24,120 --> 00:52:25,800
Speaker 5: I mean, so aren't you kind of happy that, like

1098
00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:28,799
Speaker 5: he did not live up to the expectation.

1099
00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:32,200
Speaker 2: Oh, he played again. He was a three point shooter.

1100
00:52:32,320 --> 00:52:35,120
Speaker 2: There's a reason he played fifteen years in the NBA. Yeah,

1101
00:52:35,239 --> 00:52:38,920
Speaker 2: I mean his career three point percentage was over forty

1102
00:52:38,960 --> 00:52:39,480
Speaker 2: one percent.

1103
00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:43,080
Speaker 3: That's amazing. Yeah, he could shoot threes. He could shoot

1104
00:52:43,120 --> 00:52:44,920
Speaker 3: threes until it was the play.

1105
00:52:44,880 --> 00:52:50,880
Speaker 5: Until it was the playoffs. Really, God takes this just

1106
00:52:51,200 --> 00:52:52,800
Speaker 5: back to those moments for the Clippers.

1107
00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:54,200
Speaker 3: All right, well we'll put that aside.

1108
00:52:54,200 --> 00:52:56,480
Speaker 2: By the way, Mark Medina, our NBA inside was going

1109
00:52:56,560 --> 00:52:59,000
Speaker 2: to be joining us coming up at the bottom of

00:53:01,120 --> 00:53:03,240
Speaker 2: to Yeah, I mean these are dog days of summer.

1112
00:53:03,280 --> 00:53:05,400
Speaker 2: I know a lot of people are sitting in there like, Okay,

1113
00:53:05,560 --> 00:53:09,560
Speaker 2: NBA is over. Oh I know, we have an alternative

1114
00:53:09,640 --> 00:53:12,280
Speaker 2: for you. How about a Game seven for the Stanley

1115
00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:15,960
Speaker 2: Cup Final. What are we talking about? What kind of

1116
00:53:16,120 --> 00:53:18,120
Speaker 2: history could be made by Edmonton?

1117
00:53:18,440 --> 00:53:20,920
Speaker 3: Will break it down. This is Fox Sports Saturday.

1127
00:53:49,920 --> 00:53:53,000
Speaker 2: NBA Finals at very similar.

1128
00:53:52,800 --> 00:53:54,000
Speaker 5: Starts, Yes they did.

1129
00:53:54,280 --> 00:53:58,400
Speaker 2: So you had Florida, just like Boston, get off to

1130
00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:01,040
Speaker 2: a three to zero series lead and then get blown

1131
00:54:01,080 --> 00:54:05,000
Speaker 2: out in Game four on the road. Edmonton wins eight

1132
00:54:05,080 --> 00:54:09,520
Speaker 2: to one, and we talked about Dallas with their thirty

1133
00:54:09,560 --> 00:54:13,640
Speaker 2: eight point win, and that's where we were last week, like, okay,

1134
00:54:14,680 --> 00:54:17,240
Speaker 2: you've sort of made sure, like, okay, we're.

1135
00:54:17,080 --> 00:54:19,000
Speaker 3: Either going to win on our home court or the

1136
00:54:19,120 --> 00:54:22,239
Speaker 3: home ice. Be careful. Well.

1137
00:54:22,360 --> 00:54:24,600
Speaker 2: In the Celtics case, they didn't have anything to worry

1138
00:54:24,640 --> 00:54:27,120
Speaker 2: about because they blew the Mavericks right off the floor.

1139
00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:32,839
Speaker 2: But for Florida, they came home ready to celebrate their

1140
00:54:32,880 --> 00:54:34,480
Speaker 2: first Stanley Cup championship.

1141
00:54:35,080 --> 00:54:36,560
Speaker 3: It did not happen.

1142
00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:37,279
Speaker 1: It did not.

1143
00:54:37,760 --> 00:54:42,040
Speaker 3: They go back to Edmonton, Oilers hold on wise and

1144
00:54:42,200 --> 00:54:46,040
Speaker 3: now we have a game seven.

1145
00:54:46,200 --> 00:54:49,360
Speaker 5: The two greatest words in sports, game seven.

1146
00:54:49,600 --> 00:54:53,800
Speaker 2: Game seven, especially when history can be made. Now a

1147
00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:57,280
Speaker 2: little perspective on what's the difference between the NBA and NHL.

1148
00:54:57,480 --> 00:55:00,880
Speaker 2: So the NBA's never happened and any playoff series a

1149
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:02,840
Speaker 2: team down three hill come back to win the series,

1150
00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:07,320
Speaker 2: But it actually has happened four times. I got to

1151
00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:09,640
Speaker 2: share a quick story with you. Of course, the last

1152
00:55:09,680 --> 00:55:12,920
Speaker 2: time it happened was an opening round playoff series between

1153
00:55:12,920 --> 00:55:15,760
Speaker 2: the LA Kings and the San Jose Sharks in twenty fourteen.

1154
00:55:16,239 --> 00:55:18,239
Speaker 2: The Kings have won the Cup in twenty twelve, lost

1155
00:55:18,239 --> 00:55:21,200
Speaker 2: to Western Conference finals in twenty thirteen, and now they

1156
00:55:21,200 --> 00:55:23,160
Speaker 2: had a first round matchup against the Sharks and they

1157
00:55:23,160 --> 00:55:25,600
Speaker 2: were down three to zero. Like, this is embarrassing, They've

1158
00:55:25,640 --> 00:55:28,359
Speaker 2: going out in the first round. I get my TV

1159
00:55:28,480 --> 00:55:30,880
Speaker 2: station has me out at Staple Center as it was

1160
00:55:30,960 --> 00:55:34,040
Speaker 2: then known for Game four. The same night the Clippers

1161
00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:36,839
Speaker 2: are opening up their playoff series against the Sacramento King.

1162
00:55:37,040 --> 00:55:38,120
Speaker 5: It's one of those days.

1163
00:55:38,520 --> 00:55:43,719
Speaker 2: So I'm at this meaningless hockey game and all focuses

1164
00:55:43,760 --> 00:55:46,759
Speaker 2: on the Clippers, but we can't get the hookup going.

1165
00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:50,759
Speaker 2: So our anchor, she's anchoring I'm there and our other

1166
00:55:50,840 --> 00:55:54,799
Speaker 2: guy is up in Sacramento with the Clippers. They're telling me, look,

1167
00:55:54,880 --> 00:55:56,560
Speaker 2: keep it short, we're going to go to him, right,

1168
00:55:56,880 --> 00:55:59,200
Speaker 2: So I said, Funne, this is a true story. So

1169
00:55:59,719 --> 00:56:01,319
Speaker 2: she comes to me and she goes, well, I guess

1170
00:56:01,360 --> 00:56:03,719
Speaker 2: the Kings are still alive. I guess, yes, Well they

1171
00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:06,480
Speaker 2: avoided the embarrassment of getting sweat. The Kings did win

1172
00:56:07,160 --> 00:56:09,320
Speaker 2: Game four here at Staples Center, so they're going to

1173
00:56:09,400 --> 00:56:11,920
Speaker 2: go back to San Jose, you know, and hope for

1174
00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:14,600
Speaker 2: the best, and that was going to be it. In

1175
00:56:14,680 --> 00:56:17,279
Speaker 2: my ear, they're like, Stretch, we can't get daring up.

1176
00:56:18,360 --> 00:56:20,920
Speaker 2: So she asked me a follow She goes, oh, so, well,

1177
00:56:20,960 --> 00:56:22,759
Speaker 2: do you think they can win this series? I'm like,

1178
00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:26,480
Speaker 2: all right, well, let's put things in perspective. It's not impossible.

1179
00:56:26,560 --> 00:56:29,000
Speaker 2: It actually has happened three times before, a team down

1180
00:56:29,040 --> 00:56:31,080
Speaker 2: three to zero that could come back and win this series.

1181
00:56:32,239 --> 00:56:34,120
Speaker 2: But obviously got to take it one game at a time.

1182
00:56:34,120 --> 00:56:36,040
Speaker 2: It's not going to be easy up in San Jose.

1183
00:56:36,320 --> 00:56:39,320
Speaker 2: But yeah, at least it's something that has happened.

1184
00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:41,279
Speaker 3: I thought that was going to be in it.

1185
00:56:41,360 --> 00:56:44,440
Speaker 2: They're yelling in my ear stretch. So she asked me

1186
00:56:44,560 --> 00:56:47,160
Speaker 2: another question. She goes, what do you think the odds are?

1187
00:56:47,880 --> 00:56:50,200
Speaker 2: So now I'm like, I'm like, forget it. I said,

1188
00:56:50,239 --> 00:56:52,080
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what. I'm going to say this. I

1189
00:56:52,200 --> 00:56:52,919
Speaker 2: say this on TV.

1190
00:56:53,120 --> 00:56:55,720
Speaker 3: I'm gonna tell you what if.

1191
00:56:55,560 --> 00:56:59,640
Speaker 2: They win Game five in San Jose, not only will

1192
00:56:59,640 --> 00:57:02,720
Speaker 2: the King make history and come back to win this series,

1193
00:57:03,040 --> 00:57:04,520
Speaker 2: They're gonna win the Stanley.

1194
00:57:04,160 --> 00:57:06,640
Speaker 3: Cupp Oh you went big, So I went big. So

1195
00:57:06,800 --> 00:57:08,960
Speaker 3: now they're like not even listening to me. Back in

1196
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:10,919
Speaker 3: the Oh, we got the other guy and he's gone.

1197
00:57:11,480 --> 00:57:13,719
Speaker 3: So what happens the King sweet four in a row

1198
00:57:14,280 --> 00:57:15,840
Speaker 3: and they all go all the way to win the

1199
00:57:15,920 --> 00:57:16,880
Speaker 3: Stanley Cup that year?

1200
00:57:17,080 --> 00:57:17,640
Speaker 5: That's crazy.

1201
00:57:17,800 --> 00:57:21,560
Speaker 2: And they kept replaying our Steve Harbin was the first guy.

1202
00:57:21,800 --> 00:57:24,640
Speaker 2: And I'm watching this, like you realize that was a joke, right,

1203
00:57:24,880 --> 00:57:29,760
Speaker 2: Like I was just trying to fill time. He kept

1204
00:57:29,800 --> 00:57:34,360
Speaker 2: telling me stretched say more, and I was just giving nonsense.

1205
00:57:35,160 --> 00:57:37,600
Speaker 3: But that was the last time it happened. It did

1206
00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:40,320
Speaker 3: happen in the Stanley Cup final once.

1207
00:57:40,880 --> 00:57:44,960
Speaker 2: Back in nineteen forty two, the Toronto Maple Leafs came

1208
00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:47,120
Speaker 2: back from a three to zero deficit to beat the

1209
00:57:47,240 --> 00:57:49,600
Speaker 2: Detroit Red Wings to win the Stanley Cup. But this

1210
00:57:50,280 --> 00:57:52,080
Speaker 2: this would be that was back when he had a

1211
00:57:52,160 --> 00:57:55,280
Speaker 2: sixteen league, A much different world back in those days. Actually,

1212
00:57:55,360 --> 00:57:57,760
Speaker 2: technically there were seventeens back in the day, but no

1213
00:57:57,840 --> 00:58:02,200
Speaker 2: one remembers the Booklyn Americans anyway, I do, that's nineteen

1214
00:58:02,240 --> 00:58:06,160
Speaker 2: forty two. But this would be unbelievable if Edmonton were

1215
00:58:06,200 --> 00:58:08,240
Speaker 2: to win Game seven on the road against Florida.

1216
00:58:08,440 --> 00:58:12,840
Speaker 6: Yes, it'd be very exciting, obviously, coming down from an

1217
00:58:12,880 --> 00:58:16,720
Speaker 6: O three deficit, also bringing a Stanley Cup to Edmonton.

1218
00:58:16,440 --> 00:58:18,520
Speaker 5: For the first time. But I don't know.

1219
00:58:19,120 --> 00:58:22,440
Speaker 6: So this is gonna be the eighteenth Game seven in

1220
00:58:22,560 --> 00:58:24,120
Speaker 6: Stanley Cup final history.

1221
00:58:24,160 --> 00:58:31,080
Speaker 5: Okay, the last three road teams have won the game seven.

1222
00:58:31,400 --> 00:58:32,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I.

1223
00:58:35,200 --> 00:58:39,040
Speaker 5: Like you, Yes, I must watch.

1224
00:58:39,480 --> 00:58:40,320
Speaker 3: There's nothing like it.

1225
00:58:40,400 --> 00:58:42,600
Speaker 6: It doesn't And like, even if you don't like hockey,

1226
00:58:42,960 --> 00:58:46,720
Speaker 6: you can watch hockey and be entertained without knowing anything else.

1227
00:58:46,920 --> 00:58:49,160
Speaker 3: Can you imagine if this game were to go overtime?

1228
00:58:50,600 --> 00:58:51,160
Speaker 8: I mean.

1229
00:58:52,720 --> 00:58:55,600
Speaker 2: There's nothing like it. No, there is, there is there

1230
00:58:55,760 --> 00:59:00,160
Speaker 2: is because of the suddenness of it. Yes, And I've

1231
00:59:00,200 --> 00:59:05,240
Speaker 2: been to playoff games that have gone overtime. I mean

1232
00:59:05,960 --> 00:59:08,919
Speaker 2: you are on the edge of your seat, and we've

1233
00:59:08,920 --> 00:59:11,560
Speaker 2: had We've had playoff games double overtime, triple we had

1234
00:59:11,600 --> 00:59:13,160
Speaker 2: a quadruple overtime once.

1235
00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:16,720
Speaker 3: I remember, Yeah, that's gonna be good.

1236
00:59:16,920 --> 00:59:19,440
Speaker 5: It's gonna be exciting. And this series has had the

1237
00:59:19,560 --> 00:59:21,479
Speaker 5: stars deliver for each team.

1238
00:59:21,760 --> 00:59:25,800
Speaker 6: Yes, you know, so like Connor McDavid and Chuck Like

1239
00:59:25,920 --> 00:59:27,760
Speaker 6: they have done what they need to do for their team.

1240
00:59:27,800 --> 00:59:31,040
Speaker 5: So it's it's just a lot a lot is writing

1241
00:59:31,120 --> 00:59:33,880
Speaker 5: on this game seven and it's it's exciting, thank goodness,

1242
00:59:33,960 --> 00:59:36,439
Speaker 5: because the finals in the NBA sucked.

1243
00:59:36,200 --> 00:59:36,640
Speaker 3: By the way.

1244
00:59:37,000 --> 00:59:40,600
Speaker 2: Another twist, the con smythe award which is given to

1245
00:59:40,680 --> 00:59:44,040
Speaker 2: the most valuable player, not of the final, it's of

1246
00:59:44,160 --> 00:59:47,640
Speaker 2: the playoffs, which is different than you know, the World

1247
00:59:47,760 --> 00:59:50,520
Speaker 2: Series MVP or NBA Finals MVP.

1248
00:59:50,840 --> 00:59:53,360
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, it's the playoffs.

1249
00:59:54,160 --> 00:59:57,520
Speaker 2: So it is not unprecedented for a player from the

1250
00:59:57,720 --> 01:00:00,840
Speaker 2: losing team in the Stanley Cup Final to actually walk

1251
01:00:00,880 --> 01:00:03,320
Speaker 2: away the con smite. So a post say, well, can

1252
01:00:03,360 --> 01:00:07,320
Speaker 2: Connor McDavid win it if Edmonton doesn't win, And the

1253
01:00:07,400 --> 01:00:09,320
Speaker 2: answer is, oh, yes he can.

1254
01:00:09,560 --> 01:00:10,080
Speaker 5: Didn't he just.

1255
01:00:10,160 --> 01:00:13,920
Speaker 6: Break Wayne Gretzky's records records, yeah, in the playoffs.

1256
01:00:14,160 --> 01:00:16,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, and he has had big moments for them.

1257
01:00:16,880 --> 01:00:19,000
Speaker 2: He is delivered, so keep him on the con smiite

1258
01:00:19,120 --> 01:00:21,680
Speaker 2: is not just about the final, it's for the entire

1259
01:00:21,800 --> 01:00:23,320
Speaker 2: playoffs and it's entired.

1260
01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:24,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, which makes sense.

1261
01:00:25,520 --> 01:00:25,720
Speaker 6: Yeah.

1262
01:00:26,200 --> 01:00:27,560
Speaker 3: You know, so you go to a lot of hockey

1263
01:00:27,640 --> 01:00:28,840
Speaker 3: games a lot.

1264
01:00:28,760 --> 01:00:31,800
Speaker 5: But I've been it's much better in person, much better.

1265
01:00:31,880 --> 01:00:36,520
Speaker 2: Oh well, I always say this football was made for television. Yes,

1266
01:00:37,360 --> 01:00:40,600
Speaker 2: basketball is made for TV. Baseball got to be at

1267
01:00:40,640 --> 01:00:43,240
Speaker 2: the ball at you really got to be at the ballpark.

1268
01:00:43,880 --> 01:00:45,760
Speaker 2: But hockey it's a different world.

1269
01:00:45,920 --> 01:00:46,080
Speaker 8: Yes.

1270
01:00:46,280 --> 01:00:48,200
Speaker 2: And the thing about it is, I like to sit

1271
01:00:48,320 --> 01:00:51,400
Speaker 2: hi because you want to see you want you want

1272
01:00:51,400 --> 01:00:53,560
Speaker 2: to see the line changes, you want to see so

1273
01:00:53,680 --> 01:00:56,439
Speaker 2: you don't see on television because they're following the park.

1274
01:00:56,680 --> 01:00:56,880
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1275
01:00:57,120 --> 01:00:57,680
Speaker 5: I feel the same.

1276
01:00:57,760 --> 01:00:59,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's like watching a musical. I want to be

1277
01:00:59,520 --> 01:01:01,280
Speaker 6: a little bit higher so I could see the whole stage.

1278
01:01:01,560 --> 01:01:01,920
Speaker 3: It's good.

1279
01:01:02,040 --> 01:01:03,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, you want to see it all happening.

1280
01:01:04,160 --> 01:01:06,120
Speaker 3: Yeah. I was there for you know, the Kings both

1281
01:01:06,160 --> 01:01:08,600
Speaker 3: their runs to the Cup in twelve and fourteen. Throughout

1282
01:01:08,720 --> 01:01:11,320
Speaker 3: I covered like all those games for TV and it

1283
01:01:11,520 --> 01:01:12,400
Speaker 3: was I was.

1284
01:01:13,240 --> 01:01:14,160
Speaker 5: It's fun, you know.

1285
01:01:14,320 --> 01:01:15,880
Speaker 2: And I've covered Lakers. I mean, I've covered a lot

1286
01:01:15,880 --> 01:01:18,240
Speaker 2: of championship teams, but those those were fun.

1287
01:01:18,600 --> 01:01:20,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I don't know what it is about the atmosphere, right,

1288
01:01:20,760 --> 01:01:22,320
Speaker 5: You just wanted to fight. You just want to hit

1289
01:01:22,320 --> 01:01:22,640
Speaker 5: each other.

1290
01:01:22,960 --> 01:01:26,000
Speaker 3: What about it? Because they don't do as much fighting

1291
01:01:26,080 --> 01:01:26,880
Speaker 3: in the playoffs.

1292
01:01:27,120 --> 01:01:29,520
Speaker 5: No, but the hitting you just want you want it

1293
01:01:29,600 --> 01:01:31,720
Speaker 5: to be aggressive and you get into it.

1294
01:01:31,960 --> 01:01:34,800
Speaker 2: But to get when you see overtime, man, nervous time.

1295
01:01:34,920 --> 01:01:37,400
Speaker 2: One mistake and that's it and they're off and running.

01:01:52,560 --> 01:01:54,120
Speaker 2: I know you guys are going to talk to him.

1302
01:01:54,440 --> 01:01:58,000
Speaker 10: Yeah, but yeah, what we have right now is something

1303
01:01:58,040 --> 01:02:00,520
Speaker 10: that's going on in the PGA too, or they're east

1304
01:02:00,720 --> 01:02:05,360
Speaker 10: the Travelers Championship and Xander Schaffley and Tom Kim all

1305
01:02:05,400 --> 01:02:09,160
Speaker 10: your leaders at sixteen under, guys, they still have multiple

1306
01:02:09,240 --> 01:02:10,040
Speaker 10: holes to play.

1307
01:02:10,160 --> 01:02:11,800
Speaker 3: And I'm not stay in the math here. I did

1308
01:02:11,880 --> 01:02:14,040
Speaker 3: not ask you this either off air on air?

1309
01:02:14,120 --> 01:02:16,600
Speaker 2: What did you think forget the meltdown we saw Rory

1310
01:02:16,680 --> 01:02:19,920
Speaker 2: McElroy I'm sorry choked. I mean he choked those two putts,

1311
01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:22,320
Speaker 2: he got sixteen and eighteen to lose the US Open.

1312
01:02:22,600 --> 01:02:25,120
Speaker 2: But then skipping out on the travelers, what did you think?

1313
01:02:25,720 --> 01:02:29,200
Speaker 3: Well that? But also how about skipping out on media building?

1314
01:02:29,440 --> 01:02:32,560
Speaker 3: I mean he was out of there. That's what I

1315
01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:33,640
Speaker 3: have more of a problem with.

1316
01:02:33,920 --> 01:02:36,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean he did hit social media and then

1317
01:02:36,160 --> 01:02:38,960
Speaker 2: congratulated Bryce into Shamba on his victory and everything else.

1318
01:02:39,040 --> 01:02:40,840
Speaker 3: But I don't know, what do you do?

1319
01:02:41,040 --> 01:02:41,200
Speaker 8: Man?

1320
01:02:41,240 --> 01:02:42,520
Speaker 3: I mean, you choked.

1321
01:02:42,720 --> 01:02:45,560
Speaker 10: Here's the other thing when you're seeing him signing his

1322
01:02:45,720 --> 01:02:49,680
Speaker 10: scorecard and he's a group that went like finished first

1323
01:02:49,800 --> 01:02:53,320
Speaker 10: before Deshambo Sunday at the US Open, and you I

1324
01:02:53,360 --> 01:02:56,400
Speaker 10: mean for the fin It's amazing because it's very invasive.

1325
01:02:56,480 --> 01:02:58,800
Speaker 3: You get to see his body.

1326
01:02:58,600 --> 01:03:02,040
Speaker 10: Language in whether he's what is going on in his

1327
01:03:02,160 --> 01:03:05,720
Speaker 10: head as he's watching Bryson de Shambau finish up on eighteen.

1328
01:03:06,880 --> 01:03:09,880
Speaker 10: But it's like, there's no such thing in this world

1329
01:03:09,960 --> 01:03:13,480
Speaker 10: of social media of privacy. No, I think if you

1330
01:03:13,720 --> 01:03:16,840
Speaker 10: don't give him that opportunity, not that he wanted it,

1331
01:03:17,320 --> 01:03:20,440
Speaker 10: but to have the camera on him as he's watching

1332
01:03:21,040 --> 01:03:22,320
Speaker 10: Bryson de Shambau win.

1333
01:03:22,680 --> 01:03:25,000
Speaker 2: If you take that away. You gotta face the music

1334
01:03:25,160 --> 01:03:28,200
Speaker 2: then you probably I'm a mac fan. I'm a Maclroy fan.

1335
01:03:28,280 --> 01:03:29,680
Speaker 2: I was really rooty for him.

1336
01:03:29,720 --> 01:03:33,160
Speaker 3: But wow, yeah, choke job it was. It was a

1337
01:03:33,240 --> 01:03:34,080
Speaker 3: total choke job.

1338
01:03:34,160 --> 01:03:38,800

1404
01:06:36,880 --> 01:06:40,520
Speaker 12: the Boston Celtic for MOSTBA championships. Is going to come

1405
01:06:40,600 --> 01:06:43,200
Speaker 12: down to Brownie James in the game winner in a

1406
01:06:43,280 --> 01:06:44,560
Speaker 12: Game seven of the NBA five.

1407
01:06:44,800 --> 01:06:46,440
Speaker 3: All right, can we make some sense.

1408
01:06:46,560 --> 01:06:50,920
Speaker 2: Let's let's make some sense of exactly the direction this

1409
01:06:51,160 --> 01:06:52,920
Speaker 2: organization is going in.

1410
01:06:54,480 --> 01:06:57,080
Speaker 12: That's the thing. It could go into multitude of directions,

1411
01:06:57,120 --> 01:06:58,800
Speaker 12: but I think the direction is going to be the

1412
01:06:59,080 --> 01:07:01,800
Speaker 12: JJ Reddick. I think can be a successful head coach.

1413
01:07:01,960 --> 01:07:04,560
Speaker 12: I just don't think it's going to be with the Lakers.

1414
01:07:04,600 --> 01:07:07,440
Speaker 12: And a few of the things is because he hasn't

1415
01:07:07,520 --> 01:07:10,600
Speaker 12: been a head coach before. But I think the broader

1416
01:07:10,680 --> 01:07:13,920
Speaker 12: point is just more of the fact that he's navigating

1417
01:07:14,520 --> 01:07:18,320
Speaker 12: into a series of landmines because they're objectives that are

1418
01:07:18,400 --> 01:07:21,280
Speaker 12: trying to fulfill are all different. They're trying to maximize

1419
01:07:21,640 --> 01:07:24,800
Speaker 12: Lebron James' final years of his NBA career because he's

1420
01:07:24,800 --> 01:07:27,479
Speaker 12: still playing at a relatively high level. They are trying

1421
01:07:27,520 --> 01:07:30,480
Speaker 12: to bridge the gap between Lebron James being the face

1422
01:07:30,520 --> 01:07:33,280
Speaker 12: of the franchise and Anthony Davis becoming the face of

1423
01:07:33,320 --> 01:07:36,360
Speaker 12: the franchise. And they're also trying to develop the rest

1424
01:07:36,400 --> 01:07:40,320
Speaker 12: of the roster with developing young players getting some better pieces.

1425
01:07:40,920 --> 01:07:43,400
Speaker 12: And when you look at all those three objectives, it's

1426
01:07:43,560 --> 01:07:46,640
Speaker 12: really hard to do that on top of fulfilling whatever

1427
01:07:47,120 --> 01:07:51,560
Speaker 12: championship expectations the Lakers have. This is by far different

1428
01:07:51,680 --> 01:07:55,960
Speaker 12: than most typical entry level NBA head coaching positions, where

1429
01:07:56,000 --> 01:07:59,480
Speaker 12: it's a rebuilding team that's just about you know, internal

1430
01:07:59,520 --> 01:08:02,000
Speaker 12: to develop that the Lakers are trying to achieve everything,

1431
01:08:02,040 --> 01:08:04,480
Speaker 12: and there's a danger when you try to achieve everything,

1432
01:08:04,840 --> 01:08:05,720
Speaker 12: you achieve nothing.

1433
01:08:06,480 --> 01:08:07,760
Speaker 5: Him, Eric, thanks for hanging out.

1434
01:08:08,360 --> 01:08:09,840
Speaker 12: Him Mansa, thanks for having me as always.

1435
01:08:10,000 --> 01:08:12,520
Speaker 6: Of course, so you just mentioned that you think he

1436
01:08:12,600 --> 01:08:14,920
Speaker 6: could be successful, just not with the Lakers.

1437
01:08:15,120 --> 01:08:17,160
Speaker 5: I said to Steve that I was a little bit

1438
01:08:17,200 --> 01:08:19,040
Speaker 5: surprised that JJ took.

1439
01:08:18,960 --> 01:08:22,320
Speaker 6: This job, or reportedly has taken this job, because if

1440
01:08:22,360 --> 01:08:24,400
Speaker 6: I were him, I would have a bad taste in

1441
01:08:24,479 --> 01:08:24,840
Speaker 6: my mouth.

1442
01:08:25,000 --> 01:08:26,320
Speaker 5: You tell me you want me.

1443
01:08:26,600 --> 01:08:29,720
Speaker 6: I am your choice, everybody knows it. Then I hear,

1444
01:08:30,000 --> 01:08:32,360
Speaker 6: oh I'm not your number one choice. Oh you've offered

1445
01:08:32,400 --> 01:08:34,120
Speaker 6: the job to somebody else, but he turned it down.

1446
01:08:34,439 --> 01:08:37,600
Speaker 6: Oh now I'm back to being your choice. That just

1447
01:08:37,640 --> 01:08:40,600
Speaker 6: would leave a bad taste in my mouth. Is this

1448
01:08:41,000 --> 01:08:44,200
Speaker 6: relationship already starting on a bad note?

1449
01:08:45,280 --> 01:08:48,280
Speaker 12: Well? I think that if it were with any other franchise,

1450
01:08:48,560 --> 01:08:51,880
Speaker 12: I could see that changing things. But for all the

1451
01:08:52,360 --> 01:08:56,040
Speaker 12: successes and failures the Lakers have gone through. Their name

1452
01:08:56,200 --> 01:08:59,080
Speaker 12: still means a lot. So I think that there's almost

1453
01:08:59,160 --> 01:09:02,519
Speaker 12: nothing to lose if he succeeds and does really well

1454
01:09:02,640 --> 01:09:05,880
Speaker 12: well credit to him and he you know, jumped into

1455
01:09:06,000 --> 01:09:09,360
Speaker 12: fire and was able to prove a lot of people wrong.

1456
01:09:09,439 --> 01:09:12,320
Speaker 12: If he doesn't do well well, look, the Lakers haven't

1457
01:09:12,400 --> 01:09:16,080
Speaker 12: had the ability in their head coaching position since Still

1458
01:09:16,200 --> 01:09:20,920
Speaker 12: Jackson retired in twenty eleven. Even when you consider a

1459
01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:25,200
Speaker 12: lot of those quick roster turnovers with the head coaching spot,

1460
01:09:25,560 --> 01:09:27,519
Speaker 12: how to do with the previous for ant office, you

1461
01:09:27,640 --> 01:09:30,759
Speaker 12: take into the fact that ever since it's been Jeanie

1462
01:09:30,800 --> 01:09:33,519
Speaker 12: Buss and Rob Polinka, they've had you know, Luke Wall

1463
01:09:33,600 --> 01:09:36,560
Speaker 12: and Frank Vogel, Darvin Hammond out JJ Reddick as a

1464
01:09:36,600 --> 01:09:39,960
Speaker 12: head coach within a five year span, and so I

1465
01:09:40,080 --> 01:09:44,400
Speaker 12: think with that there's certainly an avenue that JJ Reddicks

1466
01:09:44,439 --> 01:09:48,519
Speaker 12: can have success. As you know, monste great basketball player,

1467
01:09:48,720 --> 01:09:52,040
Speaker 12: great basketball mind, can relate to a Lebron because of

1468
01:09:52,080 --> 01:09:54,679
Speaker 12: the podcast in a relationship equity, but he can also

1469
01:09:55,200 --> 01:09:58,160
Speaker 12: relate to role players because he was one. So I

1470
01:09:58,280 --> 01:10:01,800
Speaker 12: think that he can show that those qualities will put

1471
01:10:01,880 --> 01:10:04,639
Speaker 12: them in a position to succeed. I think my concern

1472
01:10:04,760 --> 01:10:08,360
Speaker 12: about JJ has more to do with all the external

1473
01:10:08,479 --> 01:10:11,000
Speaker 12: variables that the Lakers are inheriting that will make this

1474
01:10:11,120 --> 01:10:14,719
Speaker 12: a challenging job. But if he winds up getting fired

1475
01:10:14,760 --> 01:10:17,639
Speaker 12: before sport your contract is over, I don't think it's

1476
01:10:17,680 --> 01:10:19,760
Speaker 12: going to hurt him. It'll just be seen as, Hey,

1477
01:10:20,320 --> 01:10:22,040
Speaker 12: now he has the experience as a head coach, and

1478
01:10:22,120 --> 01:10:24,320
Speaker 12: we'll see what other openings are available at that point.

1479
01:10:24,400 --> 01:10:26,840
Speaker 2: For Mark, we have the draft coming up this week,

1480
01:10:27,120 --> 01:10:29,600
Speaker 2: and you look at these mock drafts and there's a

1481
01:10:29,680 --> 01:10:32,920
Speaker 2: lot of players from France. I mean, I'm seeing most

1482
01:10:33,000 --> 01:10:36,080
Speaker 2: projections three of the top eight players in this draft

1483
01:10:36,160 --> 01:10:39,639
Speaker 2: from France. And with all due respect to great players

1484
01:10:39,720 --> 01:10:44,040
Speaker 2: like Giannis or the Joker or Luca, they.

1485
01:10:44,000 --> 01:10:48,360
Speaker 3: Don't move the needle. I mean, in the United States

1486
01:10:48,439 --> 01:10:53,000
Speaker 3: of America, we still are drawn to our own in

1487
01:10:53,200 --> 01:10:58,120
Speaker 3: terms of who we gather around as our stars. And

1488
01:10:59,040 --> 01:11:01,200
Speaker 3: I dare say Leb and Steph are still the two

1489
01:11:01,240 --> 01:11:04,519
Speaker 3: biggest stars in the NBA, even as they approached the

1490
01:11:04,680 --> 01:11:07,679
Speaker 3: ends of their career. And I'm just looking at this draft.

1491
01:11:07,760 --> 01:11:11,240
Speaker 3: I know we got the two Yukon guys, but man,

1492
01:11:11,320 --> 01:11:14,360
Speaker 3: this is going to be an anonymous draft, and even

1493
01:11:14,400 --> 01:11:14,920
Speaker 3: with Wemby.

1494
01:11:15,000 --> 01:11:17,599
Speaker 2: I mean, we'll see where Wemby goes, and he had

1495
01:11:17,680 --> 01:11:20,000
Speaker 2: some great moments on a by the way, a San

1496
01:11:20,040 --> 01:11:22,559
Speaker 2: Antonio team that had the exact same record this year

1497
01:11:22,560 --> 01:11:24,920
Speaker 2: as they had last year, twenty two and sixty, which

1498
01:11:25,000 --> 01:11:29,599
Speaker 2: is amazing. But I mean, how do you feel about

1499
01:11:29,720 --> 01:11:34,439
Speaker 2: this rush of all these foreign players infiltrating the NBA.

1500
01:11:36,080 --> 01:11:38,519
Speaker 2: Are you, like me, wondering if that's really going to

1501
01:11:38,640 --> 01:11:43,479
Speaker 2: be a positive in terms of marketing the NBA's future.

1502
01:11:44,920 --> 01:11:47,639
Speaker 12: Well, it's hard for me to say it's a negative

1503
01:11:47,760 --> 01:11:51,240
Speaker 12: when there's been so much global growth and the TV

1504
01:11:51,439 --> 01:11:55,840
Speaker 12: contracts they're about to resign are going to be astronomical

1505
01:11:55,920 --> 01:12:00,920
Speaker 12: and make this TV contract look like relative pennies. I

1506
01:12:01,080 --> 01:12:06,000
Speaker 12: also think that the broader importance is how well these

1507
01:12:06,080 --> 01:12:10,479
Speaker 12: players are playing. But all those caveats aside. I think

1508
01:12:10,720 --> 01:12:14,680
Speaker 12: one thing that does help the NBA with its marketability

1509
01:12:15,520 --> 01:12:19,960
Speaker 12: is having American stars because it relates to the domestic audience.

1510
01:12:20,080 --> 01:12:24,000
Speaker 12: And I think the bigger thing having superstars having that

1511
01:12:24,280 --> 01:12:29,440
Speaker 12: charismatic personality that can appeal to so many different audiences.

1512
01:12:29,680 --> 01:12:33,360
Speaker 12: You know, the young people watching the game, the older

1513
01:12:33,439 --> 01:12:36,320
Speaker 12: people familiar with the history, of the game or even

1514
01:12:36,360 --> 01:12:39,360
Speaker 12: the casual NBA fan, And so I think that the

1515
01:12:40,280 --> 01:12:45,080
Speaker 12: language of how they play is universal. The way Nikola

1516
01:12:45,160 --> 01:12:50,000
Speaker 12: Jokicenianasantotokumpo and Luka Doncri picture one Banamo, all those players

1517
01:12:50,600 --> 01:12:54,120
Speaker 12: are entertaining to watch. But I don't think that they

1518
01:12:54,200 --> 01:12:58,640
Speaker 12: always have the charismatic personality that can appeal to a

1519
01:12:58,720 --> 01:13:01,000
Speaker 12: general audience. I think ya this has that. But when

1520
01:13:01,040 --> 01:13:04,720
Speaker 12: you look at Luca and the Yo Kitchen in particular,

1521
01:13:04,920 --> 01:13:08,599
Speaker 12: they're very stoic. They'd rather let their games speak for itself.

1522
01:13:08,640 --> 01:13:12,719
Speaker 12: And look, I'd rather them be more about substance and sizzle.

1523
01:13:13,280 --> 01:13:15,639
Speaker 12: But I think to your broader point, when you're trying

1524
01:13:15,680 --> 01:13:19,920
Speaker 12: to market to a general audience domestically, it's more ideal

1525
01:13:20,000 --> 01:13:22,840
Speaker 12: that you have a charismatic personality. But with that being said,

1526
01:13:23,360 --> 01:13:25,200
Speaker 12: it's not like this is going to put the NBA

1527
01:13:25,320 --> 01:13:28,000
Speaker 12: in dire strait. It is a global game. They do

1528
01:13:28,160 --> 01:13:30,360
Speaker 12: try to appeal to a global audience, and with this

1529
01:13:30,520 --> 01:13:33,040
Speaker 12: TV contract like they're just going to be continue to

1530
01:13:33,080 --> 01:13:36,240
Speaker 12: get better and better. But I will validate your broader

1531
01:13:36,320 --> 01:13:38,960
Speaker 12: point that it is good to have domestic stars in

1532
01:13:39,000 --> 01:13:39,360
Speaker 12: the league.

1533
01:13:40,200 --> 01:13:42,320
Speaker 5: Quickly here, Mark, we started talking to you, and we

1534
01:13:42,360 --> 01:13:44,439
Speaker 5: talked about the Lakers, we talked about.

1535
01:13:44,240 --> 01:13:47,680
Speaker 6: The draft, and yet we don't even mention the new

1536
01:13:47,840 --> 01:13:49,879
Speaker 6: NBA champions, the Boston Celtics.

1537
01:13:50,120 --> 01:13:52,639
Speaker 5: Now, I know Steve hates them because there's a reason.

1538
01:13:53,560 --> 01:13:55,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's not just him.

1539
01:13:55,560 --> 01:13:57,160
Speaker 5: It's it's almost like day one.

1540
01:13:57,680 --> 01:13:59,320
Speaker 6: And then it was like people are like, all right,

1541
01:13:59,479 --> 01:14:03,360
Speaker 6: we quick moved on. Do they not have the substance,

1542
01:14:03,520 --> 01:14:06,120
Speaker 6: the grit, the flashiness.

1543
01:14:05,560 --> 01:14:07,280
Speaker 5: Everything that you would want in a team.

1544
01:14:08,800 --> 01:14:09,760
Speaker 3: Do they just not have it?

1545
01:14:09,880 --> 01:14:10,280
Speaker 1: What is it?

1546
01:14:10,439 --> 01:14:12,680
Speaker 5: Why do I feel like we just moved on so

1547
01:14:12,840 --> 01:14:14,040
Speaker 5: quickly from the Celtics winning.

1548
01:14:14,960 --> 01:14:17,080
Speaker 12: Yeah, I think that they have all the right ingred

1549
01:14:17,280 --> 01:14:19,679
Speaker 12: and so they have star power, they have role players,

1550
01:14:19,760 --> 01:14:22,040
Speaker 12: they have the history of the Celtics perand I mean

1551
01:14:22,080 --> 01:14:24,719
Speaker 12: the fact that they now league the league in titles

1552
01:14:24,760 --> 01:14:27,640
Speaker 12: once again. I think it's really just the function of

1553
01:14:27,720 --> 01:14:31,560
Speaker 12: how the NBA calendar works and how we get a

1554
01:14:31,640 --> 01:14:34,559
Speaker 12: lot more enamored about the draft and free agency. I mean,

1555
01:14:34,880 --> 01:14:36,920
Speaker 12: to tie the point that you were making here. I

1556
01:14:36,920 --> 01:14:39,360
Speaker 12: remember talking to Bob Myers when he was the Warriors

1557
01:14:39,840 --> 01:14:42,960
Speaker 12: general manager, and I was asking guys on the team

1558
01:14:43,040 --> 01:14:45,680
Speaker 12: the ultimate first world problem of how long do you

1559
01:14:45,760 --> 01:14:49,840
Speaker 12: actually enjoy the championship, and he was relaying, you know,

1560
01:14:49,920 --> 01:14:52,960
Speaker 12: he's on the championship parade bus in twenty eighteen, and

1561
01:14:53,479 --> 01:14:56,719
Speaker 12: instead of soaking that in, he's getting stressed out about

1562
01:14:56,840 --> 01:14:59,600
Speaker 12: making sure that he's gained back to the facility on

1563
01:14:59,680 --> 01:15:02,320
Speaker 12: time or draft work out later that afternoon. And that

1564
01:15:02,479 --> 01:15:04,600
Speaker 12: like moment kind of illustrated, like, man, like what are

1565
01:15:04,640 --> 01:15:06,880
Speaker 12: we doing here? But that's the function of just the

1566
01:15:07,040 --> 01:15:09,840
Speaker 12: NBA schedule and how you know, once you win it,

1567
01:15:09,920 --> 01:15:12,080
Speaker 12: now it's about retooling to try to defend it.

1568
01:15:13,320 --> 01:15:16,240
Speaker 2: Who would you have voted for, Jalen Brown or Chason

1569
01:15:16,240 --> 01:15:17,479
Speaker 2: Tatum is Finals MVP.

1570
01:15:19,280 --> 01:15:21,519
Speaker 12: I think Jalen Brown is more deserving because of his

1571
01:15:21,680 --> 01:15:24,000
Speaker 12: defense on Luka Dacija. I was actually talking to as

1572
01:15:24,080 --> 01:15:26,640
Speaker 12: trainer earlier this week, and he was saying that like

1573
01:15:26,760 --> 01:15:29,200
Speaker 12: he trained to be able to pick him up court

1574
01:15:29,280 --> 01:15:32,320
Speaker 12: to wear him down. But I would also argue that

1575
01:15:33,040 --> 01:15:35,120
Speaker 12: I would have thought of an X factor like Drew

1576
01:15:35,200 --> 01:15:38,360
Speaker 12: Holliday that huge Game two performance. He is a great

1577
01:15:38,400 --> 01:15:40,320
Speaker 12: two way player. But I think if I had to

1578
01:15:40,439 --> 01:15:43,880
Speaker 12: choose between Jalen Brown Jason Tatum, I would have chosen

1579
01:15:44,600 --> 01:15:47,760
Speaker 12: Brown Tatum. He didn't score necessarily well, he was a

1580
01:15:47,880 --> 01:15:51,080
Speaker 12: good playmaker, but I think Jalen Brown offered a lot

1581
01:15:51,120 --> 01:15:54,240
Speaker 12: more on defense. But I will end with this, I

1582
01:15:54,360 --> 01:15:57,120
Speaker 12: think I'm more encouraged with how they are as a duo,

1583
01:15:57,240 --> 01:16:00,880
Speaker 12: where it seems very clear that they're learning curves earlier

1584
01:16:00,960 --> 01:16:03,719
Speaker 12: in their career. We're all just tactical exis and o's.

1585
01:16:03,760 --> 01:16:07,160
Speaker 12: It wasn't about personality conflicts or two's team is it.

1586
01:16:07,520 --> 01:16:07,560
Speaker 1: So?

1587
01:16:07,680 --> 01:16:10,080
Speaker 12: I think that this duo is just scratching the surface

1588
01:16:10,120 --> 01:16:11,920
Speaker 12: for how many titles they can win together.

1589
01:16:12,160 --> 01:16:14,879
Speaker 2: Oh, we've been saying that we've had six different champions

1590
01:16:14,880 --> 01:16:17,320
Speaker 2: in the last six years. I'm hoping as a Celtic

1591
01:16:17,400 --> 01:16:20,320
Speaker 2: hater that their run is going to be stopped at one.

1592
01:16:21,040 --> 01:16:24,280
Speaker 2: And I like their players, but they're the Celtics, all right, Mark,

1593
01:16:24,320 --> 01:16:26,120
Speaker 2: great stuff. We'll talk to you again next week.

1614
01:17:28,040 --> 01:17:34,160
Speaker 3: was a little confused question. But well, obviously with Michael,

1615
01:17:34,400 --> 01:17:39,160
Speaker 3: I mean my dear friend, former partner, I mean Monsei.

1616
01:17:39,280 --> 01:17:41,320
Speaker 3: Last week I was I was a step dad, like

1617
01:17:41,360 --> 01:17:41,800
Speaker 3: a half.

1618
01:17:41,920 --> 01:17:45,599
Speaker 8: This is it discounts as another half, doesn't That means

1619
01:17:45,640 --> 01:17:46,080
Speaker 8: my problem?

1620
01:17:46,360 --> 01:17:48,960
Speaker 2: When I worked with Michael Thompson, he was always promising

1621
01:17:49,080 --> 01:17:51,200
Speaker 2: me that we would do a show from the Bahamas.

1622
01:17:51,479 --> 01:17:54,320
Speaker 3: I've never been to the Bahamas. He lied to me.

1623
01:17:54,640 --> 01:17:56,880
Speaker 2: He told me he would someday be the Prime Minister

1624
01:17:57,080 --> 01:18:03,120
Speaker 2: of the Bahamas. Don't doubt it, and he never delivered.

1625
01:18:04,640 --> 01:18:06,800
Speaker 2: I love Michael, but he is one of the strangest

1626
01:18:06,840 --> 01:18:08,120
Speaker 2: people I've ever done in my life.

1627
01:18:08,160 --> 01:18:09,160
Speaker 5: It's hilarious.

1628
01:18:09,479 --> 01:18:13,639
Speaker 2: He is literally when we made it official he would

1629
01:18:13,640 --> 01:18:16,320
Speaker 2: be my new partner on what was then the Lakers

1630
01:18:16,400 --> 01:18:19,640
Speaker 2: station because he was also going to be the radio commentator,

1631
01:18:19,680 --> 01:18:26,599
Speaker 2: which he still does. His former teammates Coop cap Magic

1632
01:18:26,960 --> 01:18:30,720
Speaker 2: go down the line. They literally like told me, like,

1633
01:18:30,840 --> 01:18:32,000
Speaker 2: you have no idea what you just.

1634
01:18:32,000 --> 01:18:32,519
Speaker 3: Signed up for?

1635
01:18:33,720 --> 01:18:35,320
Speaker 5: And then did you say he doesn't have any idea

1636
01:18:35,400 --> 01:18:36,400
Speaker 5: what he signed up for?

1637
01:18:36,920 --> 01:18:42,800
Speaker 2: My favorite was Byron Scott. So I had heard that

1638
01:18:43,760 --> 01:18:47,360
Speaker 2: when they were teammates with the Lakers that Michael was

1639
01:18:48,160 --> 01:18:52,320
Speaker 2: sort of toying with Byron, like because I'm taller than you,

1640
01:18:52,479 --> 01:18:54,599
Speaker 2: and I got this long reach, like if we were boxing,

1641
01:18:54,640 --> 01:18:56,800
Speaker 2: you would get nowhere near me. And he just kept

1642
01:18:56,840 --> 01:19:00,719
Speaker 2: annoying Byron, who's an Inglewood kid, right, and so Byron

1643
01:19:00,800 --> 01:19:03,720
Speaker 2: just got tired of and just decked him. Oh nice, Now,

1644
01:19:04,000 --> 01:19:07,120
Speaker 2: I asked Michael, and he goes, that has happened, pure dip, pure.

1645
01:19:07,520 --> 01:19:09,880
Speaker 2: So I ended up doing this show where Byron was

1646
01:19:09,960 --> 01:19:13,120
Speaker 2: my I was hosting the show and I asked him

1647
01:19:13,120 --> 01:19:13,639
Speaker 2: about the story.

1648
01:19:13,720 --> 01:19:16,240
Speaker 3: I said he was he verified. I said, can I

1649
01:19:16,320 --> 01:19:18,519
Speaker 3: bring you on as a surprise guest on the radio show.

1650
01:19:19,120 --> 01:19:20,080
Speaker 3: He goes, I'd love it.

1651
01:19:20,520 --> 01:19:23,320
Speaker 2: No, I'm like there with Michael Victor Bregg and I'm like, hey,

1652
01:19:23,400 --> 01:19:26,080
Speaker 2: we got a we got a special guest, special guest.

1653
01:19:26,120 --> 01:19:28,599
Speaker 2: Welcome to the show. And Byron comes out and goes,

1654
01:19:28,880 --> 01:19:33,680
Speaker 2: I knocked you out, Michael. I almost fell out of

1655
01:19:33,760 --> 01:19:40,240
Speaker 2: my seat. Michael's very strange for him.

1656
01:19:40,760 --> 01:19:43,360
Speaker 3: He knocked him out, He knocked him out. Run on

1657
01:19:43,479 --> 01:19:45,599
Speaker 3: the chin. All right, So we got the game seven.

1658
01:19:45,680 --> 01:19:50,040
Speaker 2: We're definitely looking forward to, yes, and also this game

1659
01:19:50,120 --> 01:19:52,519
Speaker 2: between the Fever and the Sky to march.

1660
01:19:52,680 --> 01:19:55,759
Speaker 5: After the game, Yeah, there was a game that Chicago

1661
01:19:55,920 --> 01:19:58,559
Speaker 5: just played at nine a m. Yeah, our time, Pacific

1662
01:19:58,640 --> 01:20:00,640
Speaker 5: time here in La. I was aid, you a w

1663
01:20:00,880 --> 01:20:02,720
Speaker 5: NBA game at nine in the morning.

1664
01:20:02,520 --> 01:20:04,360
Speaker 3: And people are watching, and people are watching. No, it

1665
01:20:04,479 --> 01:20:04,760
Speaker 3: was great.

1666
01:20:04,840 --> 01:20:05,760
Speaker 5: This was gonna be a fun one.

1667
01:20:05,920 --> 01:20:07,439
Speaker 3: Okay, So what do you think is gonna happen? Are

1668
01:20:07,479 --> 01:20:11,920
Speaker 3: we gonna see anything? Because you know the instigator has

1669
01:20:12,000 --> 01:20:15,400
Speaker 3: to be Angel Raes or Kennedy Carter. Well that would

1670
01:20:15,439 --> 01:20:17,720
Speaker 3: be a little bit, that's right.

1671
01:20:17,960 --> 01:20:20,519
Speaker 5: Yeah, And she's been still playing really well. She plays,

1672
01:20:20,600 --> 01:20:22,000
Speaker 5: she's one of their leading scores.

1673
01:20:22,040 --> 01:20:24,840
Speaker 2: And well, there they have sort of forgotten about Carter

1674
01:20:25,160 --> 01:20:28,719
Speaker 2: since the last game, because once Angel dropped the hammer

1675
01:20:28,800 --> 01:20:33,160
Speaker 2: on Caitlin, no one was talking about the hip check anymore.

1676
01:20:33,720 --> 01:20:35,200
Speaker 3: So maybe Carter wants to get back in the.

1677
01:20:35,200 --> 01:20:38,320
Speaker 5: News, right, you know, help her friend out, Angela.

1678
01:20:38,400 --> 01:20:41,519
Speaker 2: Do you think you'd ever see Caitlin Clark retaliate like

1679
01:20:41,640 --> 01:20:43,400
Speaker 2: she would say, I've had enough of this.

1680
01:20:43,479 --> 01:20:44,759
Speaker 3: I got to stand up for myself.

1681
01:20:45,080 --> 01:20:48,720
Speaker 5: I don't think so, but you never know.

1682
01:20:48,960 --> 01:20:49,640
Speaker 3: Could it help her
