Speaker 1: Hmm, welcome back to what's burning got my u c
Speaker 1: l A Brethren, Gulnnie McCoy, back at it, Um, coming
Speaker 1: to you from the city in San Francisco right now.
Speaker 1: I gotta call it game tonight, So on the road
Speaker 1: handling business. UM, let's get right to it, man, great
Speaker 1: game last night, Lakers Celtics went down to the end,
Speaker 1: Celtics blew a huge lead, Lakers came back, took the
Speaker 1: lead to push it to overtime. UM, before we get
Speaker 1: to the overtime, let's just talk about the back and
Speaker 1: forth and and and what we saw from Tatum, who
Speaker 1: to me is probably you know, should be the leading
Speaker 1: vote getter in the MVP ballot right now. And what
Speaker 1: we also saw from Lebron and a d and the
Speaker 1: Lakers with with with an amazing come back. I'll start
Speaker 1: with Tatum. Tatum right now probably be the best player
Speaker 1: in the league at that current at the current moment,
Speaker 1: mad at that. I think you heard them talk on
Speaker 1: the West coach trip about, you know, how he shot
Speaker 1: away from what was going on in Golden State. It
Speaker 1: was the last trip game on their trip of the
Speaker 1: West Coast ring. You know, Lakers Celtics rivalry. I think
Speaker 1: he answered the bell, you know, I think the bell
Speaker 1: was ringing. There was trying to talk down on j
Speaker 1: T a little bit. Uh you know, Jalen Brown is
Speaker 1: no longer even a Robin. I think those are two superheroes,
Speaker 1: Marvel Carroll characters, uh Dinger assembling and fighting with each other.
Speaker 1: There's not like a one Day or one b thing
Speaker 1: right now out of Lebron and a D. I see
Speaker 1: the fight, you know, I see a D fighting. It
Speaker 1: could be I thought a D would in the middle
Speaker 1: of this round, was gonna take you know, a few
Speaker 1: games off here there. He hasn't done that. You know.
Speaker 1: It's kind of galvanized Lebron. And as like we talked
Speaker 1: about on the show before he had he how he
Speaker 1: has to take it from Lebron, and I see him
Speaker 1: taking it. And I see that Laker team fighting. They're
Speaker 1: starting to take on some of the mantras at Darvenham
Speaker 1: and um it looks like, you know, although you know
Speaker 1: a loss is a loss, I think you know, the
Speaker 1: Celtics and the Lakers are heading in the right direction
Speaker 1: for both programs. Uh man. I've whatever thing you said.
Speaker 1: I definitely agree with the Tatum and Brown. Uh, you
Speaker 1: know they're both Batman's or One's Batman one Superman. These
Speaker 1: guys are incredible. They take turns while also involving the
Speaker 1: rest of their team, which isn't easy to do. Marcus
Speaker 1: Smart stepped up huge, hit some big shots. Um, Lakers,
Speaker 1: I love their fight. I just knew that over time
Speaker 1: wasn't where they wanted to have because they exerted so
Speaker 1: much energy to get to that point that they needed
Speaker 1: to win it in regulation. And I knew that they
Speaker 1: were they They've all looked dead ass tired. Um and
Speaker 1: Boston did what they had to do in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 1: But I mean, I think for Laker fans, you see,
Speaker 1: you know I tweeted this last night. You see potential,
Speaker 1: You see hope. Um Russ has bought into his his
Speaker 1: role and his playing well. Um, they're going through a
Speaker 1: d while Lebron is still able to be his great self.
Speaker 1: So UM, I'd be encouraged if I was. Again, there's
Speaker 1: no you know, a loss is a loss, like you said,
Speaker 1: but I would be encouraged, um from that performance last night,
Speaker 1: just to see that they have that in them still,
Speaker 1: and as they continue to build their chemistry, and and
Speaker 1: and and get their ship together. You know they're gonna
Speaker 1: be all right. Great Brown and Tatum the highest averaging
Speaker 1: duo in the league. Um again, I mean we just
Speaker 1: gave them a lot of praises. But you know, hats
Speaker 1: off to these two young guys. You remember, you know,
Speaker 1: talking even up to last year and maybe two seasons ago,
Speaker 1: was you had to trade one of these guys, You
Speaker 1: had to trade Brown to get something else because these
Speaker 1: guys couldn't play together. They blocked all that noise out.
Speaker 1: And again are the best duo in the league. And
Speaker 1: you know, both option ones on the same team while
Speaker 1: while still sharing the ball with the rest of their team.
Speaker 1: So I'm excited for this team, man, and and and
Speaker 1: the run they can make this year. Absolutely, you just
Speaker 1: you said it all right there. They're playing through their
Speaker 1: teammates as well. It's not just sometimes it is your turn,
Speaker 1: my turn, but in the middle of your turn, my turn, Williams.
Speaker 1: You know, Marcus Smart, other players are getting an opportunity
Speaker 1: to express themselves. Absolutely, Man, the Brooklyn nets eight and
Speaker 1: two over the last ten. Very impressive, Katie. Over that stretch,
Speaker 1: it's thirty points, seven rebounds, six assists. Like shooting during
Speaker 1: that stretch. Um, how do you look at Brooklyn now
Speaker 1: that the outside noise have society? Uh, these guys are
Speaker 1: playing good basketball. Kyrie is playing good basketball. Katie is
Speaker 1: being kd Uh. These guys are you know, kind of
Speaker 1: getting their chemistry with with with the guys that were
Speaker 1: out before. Uh t J. Warren's back. Um, obviously they're
Speaker 1: shooters back. Um. Thoughts on Brooklyn and are you are
Speaker 1: you a believer in them yet? Do you still need
Speaker 1: to see more? Just a lot of talent. I think
Speaker 1: we need to see it just a little bit more.
Speaker 1: But that's a lot of talent. Kad probably the most
Speaker 1: efficient score maybe an NBA history. Definitely Right now, Kyrie
Speaker 1: is getting a chance to, you know, uh, get all
Speaker 1: the ship and that's being office played basketball, just come
Speaker 1: out and played basketball and not worried about his brand
Speaker 1: and you know what I mean, really just going out
Speaker 1: there and losing himself on the court. I see Jack
Speaker 1: Vonn again kind of similar to the Lakers. I see
Speaker 1: a new coach coming in and implementing new ideas and
Speaker 1: a new culture so to speak for for Brooklyn, and
Speaker 1: they've been through the most thing out of any team
Speaker 1: probably in the league the last couple of years. But
Speaker 1: I see this team, you know, peeking, They're peeking at
Speaker 1: the right time. You know, we're coming after Christmas, you know,
Speaker 1: after Christmas, everybody there's another jump in the league before
Speaker 1: the All Star Break, and then All Star Break happens,
Speaker 1: and then the real league starts showing up. But I
Speaker 1: see them peeking or turning up at the right time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I agree. I think on the boat, the last two
Speaker 1: teams we touched on, I think obviously right now is
Speaker 1: just kind of you see what you're getting, to see
Speaker 1: what you have. But you know, we know post All
Speaker 1: Star Breakers when that real run starts, and I expect
Speaker 1: both these teams to you know, be in the mix.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if they're contending. I think if one
Speaker 1: of these two teams contend, it would be Brooklyn. Um.
Speaker 1: That's saying a lot the East is powerful. But like
Speaker 1: in like, I agree, they're both trending in the right direction.
Speaker 1: But but to that's about n b uh there. They
Speaker 1: may may not be a top seed And does anybody
Speaker 1: really want to see Brooklyn or l A if they
Speaker 1: get into the tournament at the end of the day
Speaker 1: eight seven, six, whatever it is, is anybody really work
Speaker 1: to see. Yeah, yeah at the work the work um
Speaker 1: headed out west to the Grizzlies have won six in
Speaker 1: a row with no bain. Grizzlies are coming uh coming
Speaker 1: out party was last year, you know, second in the West.
Speaker 1: Currently their second in the West. Um, what do you
Speaker 1: see in this team? Do you do you see this
Speaker 1: team as a real Western Conference contender? Um? Do they
Speaker 1: need bang? Do they need another piece? Or do you
Speaker 1: like what they have? They need bang? They need all
Speaker 1: their pieces and they might not they might need another piece.
Speaker 1: We don't know what that piece is. We don't know
Speaker 1: who's sitting at home, or who's gonna be on the
Speaker 1: waiver wire or you know who's gonna move around and
Speaker 1: they trade theirline. But they are, you know, the class
Speaker 1: of the West. Right now. The youth movement is taking
Speaker 1: charge of the beginning of the setting. And I think
Speaker 1: with the Pelicans, with the Grizzlies, we're seeing what the youth,
Speaker 1: the exuberance of youth brings to you in in today's league.
Speaker 1: I think these two teams, you know, both of them
Speaker 1: could use a manner to ur a mover to but
Speaker 1: right now, I mean they're jamming, you know, as long
Speaker 1: as they can stay healthy and their top players can
Speaker 1: continue to shine into the way that they have. They
Speaker 1: might as well. You know, stand packs. Sometimes they're youthful.
Speaker 1: They don't know any better. They're just out there hooping.
Speaker 1: They're not getting any pressure or any of this other
Speaker 1: ship that you know, we talk about, you know, or
Speaker 1: the media talks about. So I would stay with this
Speaker 1: youth movement. These cultures are doing a good job, and
Speaker 1: I would ride this out right until you know the
Speaker 1: trade deadline to see it. I would get the specific
Speaker 1: piece that I need, though, I would not take a
Speaker 1: gamble and just bring in the name just because it's
Speaker 1: a name. Yeah, no, I agree with UM. My only
Speaker 1: question with this team is being that true number two
Speaker 1: UM in the playoffs or is it Jaren Jackson? I mean,
Speaker 1: I think that would be a huge step for both
Speaker 1: these guys. Obviously during the ragular season. You know, Ban
Speaker 1: is having a career high right now. I've always liked
Speaker 1: Jaren Jackson, But which one of those guys is really
Speaker 1: gonna step up and be that other twenty point score
Speaker 1: game in the playoffs. If one of those two guys
Speaker 1: can do it, I love this team. Um. If they're not,
Speaker 1: is that what they're missing to be consistent. But again,
Speaker 1: this team is different. This team is young, it's fun
Speaker 1: and you never really know where you're going to get
Speaker 1: it from this team. That way, what what makes them
Speaker 1: so dangerous too? So obviously that Moran is that consistent,
Speaker 1: but I want to know who obviously being a step
Speaker 1: in that role. He's been injured of late step in
Speaker 1: that role this season, but can he be that piece
Speaker 1: during the playoffs with playoffs too, He's a clutch two
Speaker 1: way player in the playoffs, So go to be interesting
Speaker 1: to see. They've got a lot of good young pieces. Uh.
Speaker 1: Next up, Money Talks, presented to you by money Line,
Speaker 1: the only money app you'll ever need. Along with so
Speaker 1: much money going on right now, um, I just think
Speaker 1: it's so important to have a plan. Money is getting
Speaker 1: thrown out to high school kids now and the n
Speaker 1: I L stuff and obviously college and then you know
Speaker 1: what kind of money the pros are bringing, so uh,
Speaker 1: very important time for people to have an institutional plan
Speaker 1: with this money. Thoughts on that bar institutional plan, you know,
Speaker 1: that's what you have to have nowadays. You've got to
Speaker 1: keep your off the court together with social media, you know,
Speaker 1: there's an opportunity. Like I said, for you to make
Speaker 1: a bag. If he's head high school players can make
Speaker 1: a bag right now, you know, and and make a
Speaker 1: decision on where they go to college. You know what
Speaker 1: I mean. Really the read that can really control your journey.
Speaker 1: If you can, you know, monetize this situation and learn
Speaker 1: how to take care of yourself and your family, you
Speaker 1: can limit a lot of bad decisions that have to
Speaker 1: be made during this process. If you're going to college,
Speaker 1: if you're going to the pros, if you're going overseas,
Speaker 1: whatever that is. You know, this n I L and
Speaker 1: this new institutional thinking of of the way to say
Speaker 1: to invest, to not spend money in the ways that
Speaker 1: we did. Um, that's just a new vibe right now.
Speaker 1: And it's okay. And I'm I know champion people like
Speaker 1: you who in stack myself, who have been transparent into
Speaker 1: the things that the mistakes that they made with their
Speaker 1: money so that people can learn from those mistake. We
Speaker 1: need to pass our information around to our communities. That's
Speaker 1: what's happening around with these young fellows. The world is
Speaker 1: being thrown them at their feet, and we have to
Speaker 1: protect them. Buy exactly what you said, giving them the
Speaker 1: game so that you can learn how to institutionalize that
Speaker 1: money and make it work for them. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: I'll close up with this. I just think, uh, financial
Speaker 1: literacy is cool now, which is great. It wasn't something
Speaker 1: that was talked about when we were coming up, and
Speaker 1: obviously we made mistakes. So you know, obviously with us
Speaker 1: keeping it real and and and it being cool to
Speaker 1: kind of understand what's going on, kids will be fine
Speaker 1: these days. So, uh, that's a rap for Money Talks,
Speaker 1: presented to you by Moneyline, the only money app you'll
Speaker 1: ever need. Next step, we got a new segment by
Speaker 1: our one of our newest sponsors, Welcome to the All
Speaker 1: the Smoking, What's Burning Family NBA Top Shot. So this
Speaker 1: new segment will be called Legendary Moments because that's what
Speaker 1: they're bringing to you. It's a digital collectible, authentic NBA
Speaker 1: Highlight Moments. Basically, the line is a digital trading card.
Speaker 1: So gone are the days of the krusty gum inside
Speaker 1: the bubble gum inside the package of the cards and
Speaker 1: you losing cards, bending cards, losing value on the cards.
Speaker 1: These are digital collectibles that you can access pretty much anywhere,
Speaker 1: so they're always at your fingertips, and I guess this
Speaker 1: is just the new wave. I didn't really know too
Speaker 1: much about this. Uh and then they you know, we
Speaker 1: were told that they were coming out, so I kind
Speaker 1: of started looking it up and it's just super interesting
Speaker 1: and super dope. And one thing I do know is,
Speaker 1: you know, I have friends that have talked to me
Speaker 1: about it and and and they're actually making real money
Speaker 1: off this stuff. So I'm excited to bring them into
Speaker 1: the fold and get into their uh, their space because
Speaker 1: I think, you know, obviously, you know it's a new
Speaker 1: wave of digital collectibles, and uh, I think it's dope. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is uh, this is obviously what we're good at.
Speaker 1: There into legendary moments, and so are we, So this
Speaker 1: is a good partnership. I'm from the old school of
Speaker 1: trading cards the back in magazine and putting the ship
Speaker 1: in the individual things and you know, trade in your
Speaker 1: cards and getting over on somebody, because you know, it
Speaker 1: was a whole hustle. It was a hustle back then,
Speaker 1: you know, when cards was two and three dollars and
Speaker 1: you wanted to get the six or seven dollar card
Speaker 1: of the ten dollar car, and it's a hustle, right,
Speaker 1: now everything is Yeah, everything is digital right now, so
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, if we can bring back
Speaker 1: some of the old into the now, that's a win win.
Speaker 1: And who don't want to see legendary Helmonts. And at
Speaker 1: the end of the day, what's up about this is
Speaker 1: every moment is obviously authenticated through the NBA, so you
Speaker 1: know you're not getting no nothing fake. Everything is real.

Speaker 1: dot p s backslash w B. That's h o O
Speaker 1: dot ps slash w B and you'll get closer than
Speaker 1: ever to the game and the players you love. Make
Speaker 1: sure you gott signed up today. Next up on the Radar,
Speaker 1: presented you by DraftKings Line, we got odds on favor
Speaker 1: right now for NBA Coach of the Year. Let start
Speaker 1: out there in Boston. Shout out Joe Missoula. He's odds
Speaker 1: on favorite right now plus one thirty. I mean, this
Speaker 1: guy's an interim coach. This team has had a lot
Speaker 1: of turmoil, uh in the off season, they've been able
Speaker 1: to turn it around. Had to have the best record
Speaker 1: in the league. So not only is the odds on
Speaker 1: favor right now to win Coach of the Year. The
Speaker 1: producer in my ear just told me he could possibly
Speaker 1: be coaching an All Star team. Man, So we definitely
Speaker 1: gotta give this guy his flowers. Uh. Coming in in
Speaker 1: a tough situation, but you know, continuing to pick up
Speaker 1: where Emay left off from a standpoint of you know,
Speaker 1: this is a championship caliber team and Joe hasn't missed
Speaker 1: a step, asn't. You got to Deng Hoggs that you
Speaker 1: got two young Hoggs you gotta take care of too.
Speaker 1: So he's continued on the winning, the winning tradition that
Speaker 1: they laid, the foundation that they laid, and he's added
Speaker 1: something because the boys look like they were just they
Speaker 1: with the ship now, so you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: maybe that's kind of fame. Yeah, they got a taste
Speaker 1: of it last year. Next up, my guy Willie Green
Speaker 1: over out there in New Orleans, UH at plus three fifty.
Speaker 1: Will Hardy, another New Coast that actually came from the
Speaker 1: Boston staff at over there in Utah's plus five fifty. Uh.
Speaker 1: Mike Budenholzer UH plus one thousand. And then the Sacramento
Speaker 1: Kings coach Mike Brown is also plus one thousand, so
Speaker 1: to be interesting to see. It's rounded out by Jack
Speaker 1: vand at plus fourteen hundred. But interesting to see. You know,
Speaker 1: obviously still early in the season, but you know a
Speaker 1: lot of uh deserving coaches up there and it will
Speaker 1: be intern see who pulls away with that. But that's
Speaker 1: uh on the radar presented you by Draft Kings. Alright.
Speaker 1: Closing thoughts, uh, lone, we just dropped a documentary called
Speaker 1: Revolution where I was the first UM contestant. We have
Speaker 1: more to come, Uh, real dope learning experience, you know,
Speaker 1: for it being our first dot together. Uh you know,
Speaker 1: obviously areas we can get better in, but it was
Speaker 1: a good learning experience. Over I've been getting some pretty
Speaker 1: positive feedback from it. UM dropped yesterday, so you guys
Speaker 1: can check this out on Apple and Amazon on and again,
Speaker 1: and it was it was definitely dope working with you.
Speaker 1: Obviously we're working together now you're feeling it for stack,
Speaker 1: but you know we also have you know, what we're
Speaker 1: doing behind the scenes to in content production. So uh
Speaker 1: thoughts on this and and how we can continue to
Speaker 1: evolve in this space just as an independent film trapping
Speaker 1: at the end of the day. We didn't have a big,
Speaker 1: huge budget to work with. What we put together I
Speaker 1: thought was was beautiful considering we had a great director.
Speaker 1: Jocelyn is also the Showtime family in charge of my
Speaker 1: my mood, I'll du a roth uh docs. So we've
Speaker 1: always we're not even the same people we were when
Speaker 1: we started, right man, And I think we learned so
Speaker 1: much about the space, and we're already including other athletes
Speaker 1: and giving them a platform to collaborate with and bring
Speaker 1: their production companies with us, so it'll be an athlete
Speaker 1: food blue thing moving forward. You know, I can't wait
Speaker 1: till we can make our announcements on you know, our
Speaker 1: production partners and some of the plans for the series
Speaker 1: moving forward. You know, we're athletes, were people of color.
Speaker 1: We were up against a lot of boxes and you know,
Speaker 1: and I just want to take my hat off for
Speaker 1: you and thank you again for trust. And that's what
Speaker 1: being a part of this project, because like I said,
Speaker 1: you went first, you know, the constraints and everything where
Speaker 1: we worked against what we fought for, still fighting for
Speaker 1: to make it the series of all series. Obviously it
Speaker 1: was we welcome the critique because you know, we're in
Speaker 1: the space. We want to make things better. So I'm well,
Speaker 1: you know, it was. It was a great experience. It's
Speaker 1: everywhere Apple Voodoo, Uh, you know, to me, Xbox, you know,
Speaker 1: we gotta watch, we gotta wide net. Where's cast at?
Speaker 1: Tim ninety one has been a great partner. Uh you know,
Speaker 1: Dangerous Minds Media thirty four. We up. It's only go
Speaker 1: get better from here. And I'm just proud, Like I'm said,
Speaker 1: I'm proud to you. I'm proud to us, and like
Speaker 1: I like to give me your feelings about how you
Speaker 1: feeling about being in the space. You're in the space.
Speaker 1: But this is you know, this was this is your baby,
Speaker 1: this is our baby. Yeah, you know, I mean it
Speaker 1: was obviously it was just learning the ins and outs
Speaker 1: of production. Was it was the crazy part, you know,
Speaker 1: working with a small budget and kind of showing improving,
Speaker 1: uh you know, throwing up some of my own money
Speaker 1: in the back and force and the stops and starts.
Speaker 1: So again, I think it was a great learning experience.
Speaker 1: I think we took our knox Um would still be
Speaker 1: able to present, you know, a solid project. And again
Speaker 1: to me, you know, with the athletes coming next in
Speaker 1: the series and the Revolution series that people were partnering with. Uh,
Speaker 1: we're gonna up our games. So again, excited for everybody
Speaker 1: to see it. Make sure you check it out every word.
Speaker 1: Gilani said, all right, man, So the NBA decided to
Speaker 1: rename awards. Um, we're gonna talk about some of these
Speaker 1: name changes. Agree with some, don't agree with some. Um,
Speaker 1: but let's close out. Um we're starting with Michael Jordan's
Speaker 1: MVP award. Not mad at that, very well, very well done.
Speaker 1: What else are we doing here? Very well play the NBA. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was a good one. Akim Elijah on Defense Player
Speaker 1: of the Year award, Not mad at that. Rolling ling
Speaker 1: came to dream. He's a big the league. He used
Speaker 1: to be all about bigs. There's a couple of bigs
Speaker 1: on this list. But not mad at dream at all. Absolutely.
Speaker 1: Next up, Will Chamberlain Rookie of the Year. Not mad
Speaker 1: about this one either, could job I mean, will do,
Speaker 1: Will do chick. We'll just do yep. Well, he's tough.
Speaker 1: H Next up the one I did not like, With
Speaker 1: all drue respect to Mr John have the check the
Speaker 1: six Man of the Year trophy. I don't agree one
Speaker 1: bit with this. I think that again, with all due
Speaker 1: respect to Mr Havelcheck and when he was able to
Speaker 1: do in his career. Jamal Crawford, Lou Williams, you know,
Speaker 1: the only three time UH six Man of the Year
Speaker 1: Award winners. I think they could have did better naming
Speaker 1: this award. Considering you have guys that set the bar
Speaker 1: for the award, I have to agree these are the
Speaker 1: logical coach I know, disrespected to have the Check family
Speaker 1: and what John have. The check is done for the league.
Speaker 1: But it seems like you know, returning and starting to
Speaker 1: highlight some of our you know, more recent players and
Speaker 1: not that you know some of these haven't checked is
Speaker 1: a litt to older them. Well we're starting, you know,
Speaker 1: it's it's time now. You know, those two deserve a
Speaker 1: lot of respect for what they did for the six
Speaker 1: man awar Um. I haven't seen a lot of have
Speaker 1: the Check footage, but I'm surety sure a lot of
Speaker 1: the people have seen a lot of Jamal Crawford and
Speaker 1: Lou Williams footage. So I would have to disagree on
Speaker 1: having to check six man at the ward here and
Speaker 1: I would like to nominate two brothers. How do you feel? Yeah? Agreed, agreed, agreed, agreed, uh, last,
Speaker 1: but not least, the most improved award will be named
Speaker 1: the George Mike and Award. Um. I don't really have
Speaker 1: an issue with this, Like I said, Jamal and Lou
Speaker 1: jumped out because again they set the bar the only
Speaker 1: three time winners. To be honest, not very familiar with
Speaker 1: Mr Mike ins game. But you got to drill any
Speaker 1: any time you got to drink, you got the mic.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, So I a'm at. I like. I just
Speaker 1: like the fact that the NBA is starting to put
Speaker 1: some names behind some of the stuff. Um. You know,
Speaker 1: I think it may be time to change the logo. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, obviously I posted something the other day about
Speaker 1: Kobe possibly actually had copy and pasted what Jamal said.
Speaker 1: Jamal was the one that brought it up. But I
Speaker 1: just reposted about Kobe possible being being a logo. You know,
Speaker 1: bron is leaving the NBA soon. What is he gonna be?
Speaker 1: Is he gonna be the new lego? No matter if
Speaker 1: that is, he gonna get an award named after him?
Speaker 1: He should so, Um, I like, uh, I like that
Speaker 1: this kind of stuff is still up in the air. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, the NBA's standard is is evolved. So much
Speaker 1: since the beginning and since they first you know, came
Speaker 1: up with this Jerry West logo, and I think he's
Speaker 1: even on the record saying he doesn't mind it being changed.
Speaker 1: So I just like the fact. Yeah, I like the
Speaker 1: fact that the NBA is evolving and naming awards after
Speaker 1: players and you know, obviously helping their legacy continue to
Speaker 1: to live on. So, man, that's a rap. What's go ahead?
Speaker 1: You got something? No, yeah, I was about to echo
Speaker 1: what you said. So part of being a part of
Speaker 1: the league that's you know, not uh working off antiquated models,
Speaker 1: and they're keeping up with the times and you know
Speaker 1: their fan base and you know the people that actually
Speaker 1: up and watching the game. So it makes me very
Speaker 1: proud to be alumni of the National Basketball Association. Less
Speaker 1: than five thousand of us on this planet, So I
Speaker 1: don't want to very very exclusive club. Uh Man, that's
Speaker 1: a wrap for what's burning. You can catch this check
Speaker 1: us every week on Showtime Basketball YouTube and on Twitter,
Speaker 1: Instagram and TikTok and Show Basketball. We'll see y'all next week.
