1 00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:08,000 Speaker 1: Steph Curry moves up his list, the Washington Wizards get 2 00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:11,479 Speaker 1: to play basketball again, and Gordon Hayward is the new 3 00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:15,000 Speaker 1: Lebron James. Of course, he's not the new Lebron James. 4 00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:18,000 Speaker 1: I'm just joking around. I'm just looking for clicks. Why 5 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,759 Speaker 1: am I joking around? There's lots to get to. It's Monday, 6 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:23,319 Speaker 1: January twenty fifth, and this is what you need to know. 7 00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,400 Speaker 1: Throughout the NBA world. It is acknowledged, it is understood 8 00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:36,120 Speaker 1: Steph Curry is the best shooter of all time. So 9 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,680 Speaker 1: now as he nears thirty three years of age, it's 10 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:42,600 Speaker 1: weird that Steph Curry is aging. He's approaching a career 11 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,600 Speaker 1: long record that should be his because as of Saturday, 12 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:48,839 Speaker 1: only Ray Allen has hit more threes than Steph Curry. 13 00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,960 Speaker 1: With his fourth triple versus the Jazz on Saturday night, 14 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 1: he passed Reggie Miller for second all time, and he 15 00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:00,480 Speaker 1: paid homage to one of his favorite players, throwing up 16 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 1: the three to one Reggie Miller's thirty one with his 17 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:07,040 Speaker 1: fingers as he hit that shot. It was a beautiful 18 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,640 Speaker 1: shot off off of player movement, so it was very 19 00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 1: fitting that that was the one that passed Reggie Miller, 20 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 1: even though I wasn't a three point shooter. I paid 21 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 1: homage to Reggie in high school too, still do, in fact, 22 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 1: and it was pretty neat that Reggie joined Steph's Zoom 23 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,120 Speaker 1: press conference after the game with his son Riker to 24 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:30,319 Speaker 1: congratulate Stephan Curry at twenty five hundred and sixty two threes. 25 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 1: Curry should pass Ray Allen's twenty nine to seventy three 26 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,760 Speaker 1: next season when he's thirty three or thirty four, so 27 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 1: plenty of years to pad his lead once he gets there. 28 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:44,039 Speaker 1: And I love this Kirk Goldsberry chart. This is why 29 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 1: Steph is the best. Of all the guys who have 30 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 1: hit at least one thousand threes. Curry has been the 31 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 1: most efficient, second most all time first inefficiency. At some 32 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 1: point it'll be first most all time first inefficiency. An 33 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 1: incredible career for Stephan. Correct Moving on to Sunday's action, 34 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: Charlotte Orlando, Gordon Hayrod hit the game winner with point 35 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 1: seven seconds left first the Magic. It was a layup 36 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 1: after he drove by Evan fourty and got right to 37 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 1: the rim as help was very late. And that's why 38 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 1: Magic coach Steve Clifford was pissed. He was extremely angry 39 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 1: with the way Orlando played defense. This was Gordon Hayward's 40 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 1: fourth thirty point game of the season. He had thirty nine. 41 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:30,239 Speaker 1: Lebron only has one thirty point game this season. Yes, 42 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,919 Speaker 1: see why Gordon Harrod is the new Lebron. James Charlotte 43 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 1: one of those teams in that Eastern Conference playoff bubble glut. 44 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 1: It's gonna be a long season to see who makes 45 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 1: the postseason. Toronto, Indiana was a battle of two men 46 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,360 Speaker 1: who sat beside each other on the Raptors bench the 47 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 1: last two seasons, Toronto head coach Nick Nurse and his protege, 48 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 1: Pacers head coach Nate Bjorkrin. And this must have looked 49 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:59,239 Speaker 1: very familiar to Nate because the Raptors took away his star. 50 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,080 Speaker 1: This is exact exactly what Toronto did to Steph Curry 51 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 1: in the twenty nineteen finals. De Mantu Sabonis only hit 52 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:09,679 Speaker 1: one shot, even Malcolm Brogden limited to five of twenty two, 53 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 1: and the Raptors got this win without their stars. No 54 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 1: Pascal Siakam, no Kyle Lowry. But og Anobi stepped up 55 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 1: big time thirty points defending everybody that four years seventy 56 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:25,680 Speaker 1: two million dollar extension looking cheap. Stanley Johnson a huge 57 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:27,959 Speaker 1: block at the end of the game. Norman Powell stepped 58 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 1: into the starting lineup and played well. Aaron Baines was 59 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 1: solid in this game, probably his best game of the year. 60 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 1: He's started thirteen games this season, but hasn't shot a 61 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 1: free throw. Wild rematch on Monday between these two teams 62 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 1: should be fun. The Los Angeles Clippers are quietly staying hot. 63 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 1: They have won seven in a row, sweeping a two 64 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 1: game set with OKC this weekend. Only one of those 65 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 1: wins was against an above five hundred team, but they're 66 00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,120 Speaker 1: tied a top the West with the Lakers, and they 67 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 1: still have a great shot at getting the one seed. 68 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 1: They'll need it to beat the Lakers in the postseason 69 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 1: because La Lakers Variety are the overwhelming favorite in the 70 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 1: entire NBA, but the Clipper right there. The other hot team, 71 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,279 Speaker 1: the Utah Jazz, are a half game back of the Lads. 72 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,039 Speaker 1: One Clipper worry, Paul George only eleven points in this one, 73 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,160 Speaker 1: sat out the final five minutes because of hamshring tightness. 74 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 1: He has had hammy problems in the past, no Al 75 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,280 Speaker 1: Forford in this one. He and his wife, Amelia Vega 76 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: welcome their fourth child recently, probably the four luckiest kids 77 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,480 Speaker 1: on the planet. Congrats to Al and Amelia. The Washington 78 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,919 Speaker 1: Wizards played a basketball game. The Wizards hadn't played in 79 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 1: nearly two weeks because of coronavirus related issues. They had 80 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: missed six consecutive games and six of their guys were 81 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 1: still out against San Antonio on Sunday. They signed Alex 82 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,160 Speaker 1: len to fill the gap, but nothing could steal their 83 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: sunshine versus San Antonio. I had to go there. Even 84 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 1: if they lost by twenty, they got to do their job. 85 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 1: At least. Their six miss games is tops for the 86 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,280 Speaker 1: league and has now been tied by the Grizzlies, who 87 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 1: have games canceled through Wednesday. Spurs note that surprised me. 88 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 1: De Jante Murray had eleven points, eleven rebounds, and ten 89 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 1: assists for the triple double. That's not the surprising part. 90 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,840 Speaker 1: The six to four guard is averaging seven rebounds per 91 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 1: game this season. I know he boards, but still great 92 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,839 Speaker 1: stuff from de Jontay Murray. Wrapping up Sunday, the Celtics 93 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,279 Speaker 1: blew out the Cavs Jalen Brown had thirty three. The 94 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,479 Speaker 1: Bucks blew out the Hawks. No Tray Young or Clint 95 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 1: Capella for Atlanta, they were injured. Nothing to do with 96 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 1: COVID nineteen. Have to mention that this season and the 97 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 1: Blazers almost blew out the Knicks. But these aren't your 98 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 1: older brothers Knicks. They fight back down twenty five at 99 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,920 Speaker 1: one point, rookie Manuel Quickly had a career high thirty 100 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 1: one off the bench in only twenty four minutes. For 101 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 1: New York, Julius Randall had twenty five, but Damian Lillard 102 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 1: had thirty nine to give Portland the win, and he's 103 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 1: also winning at home. He and his Fila, say Kayla, 104 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: gave birth to twins on Thursday. Dame Road on Instagram. 105 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 1: Just call me Daddy Dame.
