1 00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,440 Speaker 1: We lost the legend. This past weekend, Ricky Henderson passed 2 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:18,319 Speaker 1: away from pneumonia. Oakland, A's legend. Town Legend had a 3 00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:21,360 Speaker 1: field named after him at the Coliseum. Nineteen nineties MVP, 4 00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:26,480 Speaker 1: two time World Series Champ, all times runs leader and 5 00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:29,360 Speaker 1: stolen based leader. The style he brought to a game 6 00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,960 Speaker 1: that was kind of dry back in the eighties, with 7 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:35,879 Speaker 1: the Jerry curl, the batting stands, the way he used 8 00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:37,960 Speaker 1: to snap people off in the outfield, the way he 9 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 1: would get these monstrous leads with his lime green gloves 10 00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,919 Speaker 1: and wigless fingers, and the pictures can throw over ten 11 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,159 Speaker 1: to fifteen times, and no matter what that one time 12 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,440 Speaker 1: they didn't throw over, he was gone. Ricky's energy and 13 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:51,920 Speaker 1: smile can light up a room. I recently got a 14 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 1: chance to finally meet my idol about a month ago 15 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,360 Speaker 1: at the Reggie Jackson celebrity softball game, and I didn't 16 00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 1: ask for a picture, and I'm kicking myself to this day. 17 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:01,440 Speaker 1: Did get a chance to sit down and talk to 18 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 1: him a little bit. I mean, everyone was kind of 19 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 1: gathered around him as he was telling stories and talking shit. 20 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,920 Speaker 1: But to hear other players talk about him and what 21 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 1: he meant as he sometimes talked about hisself and the 22 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:13,960 Speaker 1: third person. I heard Harold Reynolds tell a story about 23 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 1: a year that Ricky got hurt and Harold Reynolds ended 24 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 1: up winning the stolen based title with like sixty something 25 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 1: stolen bases, and Ricky called them and told them, Hey, 26 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 1: this is Ricky, only sixty bases. Ricky gets that at 27 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 1: all Star Break and hung up on him. It just 28 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 1: some of the you know, legendary stuff you hear about 29 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,319 Speaker 1: Ricky Henderson.

Jack, 55 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 1: what was your takeaway from this game? 56 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 2: It was much CTV. 57 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 3: I mean, I didn't it was that day was a 58 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 3: big sports day, but everybody was talking about USC versus 59 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,640 Speaker 3: juicr on page Buckets versus Juju. That was a highly 60 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 3: anticipated game and everything that it was supposed to be. 61 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:54,079 Speaker 2: Mad it was I think Juju for Juju, she showed. 62 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,799 Speaker 3: How she's really ready to jump out there and be 63 00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 3: the face women's college basketball and be the best player 64 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 3: because she had USC ready to play in a big 65 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 3: game like that. You know, when you playing big games 66 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 3: like this, Matt, you're gonna get each team's best shot, right, 67 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 3: And USC came out and played it, and they showed 68 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 3: they wanted to win that game, but also the big 69 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 3: girl from Yukon Strong. She showed, you know, the experience 70 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 3: and the championship pedigree that they come from a Yukon 71 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 3: where they fought back in the game, and she basically 72 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 3: dominated and got him back in the game. And the 73 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 3: Page start playing well too of her and Juju was 74 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 3: going back and forth, but USC was able to pull 75 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,799 Speaker 3: the game off. But that was that game was probably 76 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,519 Speaker 3: one of the most entertaining games I've seen this year, 77 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 3: and I'm happy to say it came from a women's 78 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 3: basketball game. 79 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 1: I was disappointed. 80 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 2: Man. 81 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 1: The twins played at the same time, so I was checking, uh, 82 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: I was checking on my phone to kind of watch, 83 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 1: but I saw at one point sc was up or 84 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: was it twenty or almost twenty points And then next 85 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 1: thing I know, here comes Page and you come and 86 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: Sarah Strong is at her name. Yeah, the big freshman 87 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 1: that was out there working on that low block. And 88 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 1: next thing you know, it's coming down to the wire. 89 00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 1: So a big game. Juju twenty five points, seventy five 90 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 1: percent from the three point line. Page finished with twenty two. 91 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 1: Juju is now averaging twenty five six boards for Cysts, 92 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 1: two blocks and two and a half steals. 93 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 2: Jack. 94 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 1: I really feel like she I think obviously everyone does. 95 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,280 Speaker 1: She's next in line. I feel like, obviously with the 96 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,919 Speaker 1: entry of Andrew Reese and Kaitlin Clark this year, it 97 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,279 Speaker 1: kind of reminded me of Magic and Bird back in 98 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 1: the day and kind of shifting the viewership and and 99 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 1: you know the explosiveness of this game, and then you 100 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 1: have Juju coming down the pipeline. Sc is now eleven 101 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 1: and one. They took a tough loss to Notre Dame 102 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken early in the season. Yeah, but 103 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 1: you know, obviously this is a big bounce back against 104 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 1: Gino and Page. So Juju is one player who Jack 105 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 1: is her game strong enough to change the rules? You know, 106 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,159 Speaker 1: all women have to go to school for at least 107 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:54,280 Speaker 1: four years before they can make the jump. Is Juju 108 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 1: someone that can possibly push the line with that rule? 109 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,359 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I mean I think, you know, yeah, I 110 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 3: look at it different. I think she's definitely ready to 111 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,280 Speaker 3: for the WNBA. Now she could be you know, if 112 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,919 Speaker 3: it's time to change the rule, why shouldn't she be 113 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,839 Speaker 3: the face of it. But you know, I've always felt like, 114 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 3: if you can go to war at eighteen to put 115 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,160 Speaker 3: your life online. You should be able to take your 116 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 3: family and play a sport at eighteen as well. 117 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 1: And you got to think too, she's like the legitimate 118 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 1: age in the day and age where there's whole backs 119 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,279 Speaker 1: and double hole backs and super red shirts and people 120 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 1: talking about juco players get eighteen years in college now 121 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:30,040 Speaker 1: like Juju is someone who is really if I'm not mistaken, 122 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,920 Speaker 1: she's still eighteen or may just be nineteen, so she's 123 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 1: her actual age. 124 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 2: In the right grade. 125 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,799 Speaker 1: So to be able to see her talent, she's really special. 126 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 1: So really excited to continue to see what this season 127 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:43,679 Speaker 1: holds for college basketball. 128 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 2: On the women's side. 129 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 1: Christmas Day, Jack, did you get a chance to play 130 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 1: any Christmas Day games? 131 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,720 Speaker 3: I think I did. Maybe if I did, it was one. 132 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,360 Speaker 3: If I did, I don't know. Maybe if I did, 133 00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:58,840 Speaker 3: it was one, But I might have it. 134 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,160 Speaker 2: I don't think it happened, you know what. No, I did. 135 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,040 Speaker 2: I had Christmas Day shoes when I was in Charlotte. 136 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,160 Speaker 1: Okay, they just gave you shoes. Doesn't mean you had 137 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 1: the game though, did it? 138 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:07,920 Speaker 2: No? No? 139 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 1: No? 140 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:09,480 Speaker 2: Because they were red and we had to wear it 141 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 2: because it was a Christmas Day game. 142 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:15,839 Speaker 1: Okay, it looked the bombcasts on TV for Christmas must 143 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 1: have had a hand in that. 144 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 2: On TV. We probably had a Christmas game, he said, 145 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 2: he wasn't on TV. Yeah, we just had a game 146 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:23,840 Speaker 2: on Christmas. 147 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:29,920 Speaker 1: Motherfucker's had a scrimmage on Christmas Day. I was lucky enough, man, 148 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 1: I got to play in like I think like four 149 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:32,840 Speaker 1: or five maybe even more. I got to play a 150 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 1: lot on Christmas. That was amazing. But recently Charles Barkley, 151 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 1: obviously with the ratings where they're at, Barkley said to 152 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 1: fix the ratings issue, that the season should start on Christmas. 153 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 1: If I'm not mistaken, Jack, our twenty twelve season started 154 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 1: on Christmas, and I actually loved it. I was with 155 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 1: the Lakers then or the Clippers, one of the two. 156 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 1: But I know we played on Christmas. But I think Jack, obviously, 157 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 1: there's a lot of different things that go into the ratings, 158 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,280 Speaker 1: and you can blame it on whether you want to 159 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 1: blame it on the election, the NFL, college football, the 160 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 1: style of play, the Hornets, and the Bullsmith seventy five 161 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 1: three pointers combined the other day, something has to be done. 162 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on possibly shortening the season to 163 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 1: you know, gain the most traction and hopefully bring some 164 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 1: fans back. 165 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 2: That's just crazy. 166 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 3: But somebody you can even say that about a professional 167 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 3: game a right, nuts. 168 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 2: That's because all they want to do is shoot threes. 169 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 3: I mean, like you said, it's any it's a million 170 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 3: things that need to change, But what it boils down 171 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 3: to is the players. 172 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 2: What it boils down to is the players. They depends. 173 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 3: The players are allowed to do whatever the fuck they 174 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 3: want from play when I want to. I don't want 175 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 3: to play like it's just it's just to me. They 176 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 3: can get the appreciation back for the game. You know, everybody, 177 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 3: regardless how much money you make, and you're gonna go 178 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 3: out there and put your life on the line every night. 179 00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 3: When you get started to get more of those guys 180 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 3: back because the guys like that they're not in the league. 181 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 2: They pushing those guys down. 182 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 1: They want the good guys, although yeah, those guys are 183 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 1: on the way or out. Those guys are on the 184 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 1: way out. 185 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 2: Yeah. 186 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 3: So when the game gets back to that and they 187 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 3: get away with stop launching a half court shots. 188 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 2: Everybody who can shoot the furthest. 189 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 3: Like I hated Matt, and I'm glad it's low because 190 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 3: I ain't watching it. Nobody want to watch that bullshit. 191 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 3: Shit is bad. It's bad basketball. There's no IQ basketball. 192 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 3: All these kids out here are super talented, all the talented, 193 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 3: super talented, all the talent in the world, but think 194 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 3: passed the fucking pre throw line. So it's a lot 195 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 3: that they can fixed, Matt, But for me, I would 196 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 3: say they need to get their hunger back, and they 197 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 3: and their appreciation for the game. 198 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 1: I got a chance to see yesterday. I just really 199 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 1: took the day off from life and just watched a 200 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:50,200 Speaker 1: ton of TV and I saw the two thousand Damn. 201 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 1: I don't remember the year, but it was tamac on 202 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 1: the Magic See where it was on the kings A. 203 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,679 Speaker 1: I saw that All Star Game where these dudes were 204 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 1: going at it in the All Star Game or like 205 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 1: really Garden trying to block dunks and like they was 206 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 1: really going at it. And I'm thinking, like I probably 207 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 1: saw one time ten Hall of Famers on the quarter once, 208 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,560 Speaker 1: and I'm thinking, like, if these guys can play this 209 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 1: hard for an All Star Game, like what is the 210 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 1: excuse for the current All Stars? But then the league 211 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 1: as a whole man, I mean, obviously. 212 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,439 Speaker 2: I don't mean to cut you off, but I don't 213 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 2: mean to cut you up. 214 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 3: But you're talking about to me the best All Star 215 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 3: game ever because I played in the rookie game that year. 216 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,680 Speaker 3: That was in two thousand and three. That's when Steph, 217 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 3: Steph Ai, Vince car That's when they came back right 218 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 3: with the small line, Vince Carters, Tracey McGrady, Steph, Steph Ai, 219 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:39,200 Speaker 3: and somebody else. 220 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, bro, you exactly right. That was the best game 221 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 1: in the West. The West had Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, 222 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 1: and Chris Webber as there as they're from. 223 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:48,960 Speaker 3: Time. 224 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 1: Shit was insane, bro, But you know it's it's to me, Jack, 225 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:55,720 Speaker 1: is it? You know it's you never want to point 226 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 1: a finger at you know, Steph because he's been incredible 227 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 1: for or what he's been able to do for this 228 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,199 Speaker 1: game itself. But I think a lot of people think 229 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,960 Speaker 1: that they have that Steph Curry or Klay Thompson ability. 230 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 1: And this is a copycat league. So remember when the league, 231 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 1: when we first came to the league, you couldn't even 232 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 1: shoot the ball unless the post touched it first. Rarely rarely, 233 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 1: I mean they're beagle. Probably name five guys in the league. 234 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:22,960 Speaker 1: They can come down and just pull up. Used to 235 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:26,200 Speaker 1: have to go inside out and work your offense. Now 236 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 1: people are running three on one to get three pointers. 237 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:30,560 Speaker 2: They're winning the. 238 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 1: Three on one fast break one defender with three offensive guys, 239 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:37,679 Speaker 1: and these guys are running to the three point line 240 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 1: and just pulling three after three. So I definitely think 241 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 1: this is an issue jacking, and to be honest with you, 242 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 1: the issue can grow even next year because next year 243 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 1: you're gonna have to chase the games. You're gonna have 244 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 1: to go. There's new streamers, and it's gonna be all 245 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,199 Speaker 1: over the place, so it's not gonna be the normal 246 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,959 Speaker 1: place that you find it. So I think Adam Silver 247 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 1: really has a lot of work to do this offseason 248 00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:01,680 Speaker 1: to try to figure out how to re store because 249 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,080 Speaker 1: the NBA has been on a hell of a trajectory. 250 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,599 Speaker 1: You know, obviously with the new money and the new partnerships, 251 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 1: the growth of the game is going up, but the 252 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 1: viewership is trash right now, and it's because I think 253 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 1: the main reason, like you said, is that the product 254 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 1: in which they're putting on the floor, which brings me 255 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 1: to Christmas Day, and normally Christmas Day is for just 256 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 1: the NBA. But guess who's snuck in on Christmas. The 257 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 1: NFL said, fuck that, we're gonna come get some of 258 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 1: these ratings. So now the NFL is on Christmas Day too. 259 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,720 Speaker 1: But here's a slate. You got the Spurs at the Knicks, 260 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 1: the Wolves at the MAVs, the Sixers at the Celtics, 261 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 1: the Lakers at the Warriors, and the Nuggets at the Suns. 262 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 1: And I'm right with you, you don't. You don't beat that. 263 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:51,840 Speaker 1: What game is she performed? Does anybody know what football 264 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:57,840 Speaker 1: game she's performing? It's a Texans It's a Texans game. Jack, 265 00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,440 Speaker 1: Are you gonna make time to watch any if these 266 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,200 Speaker 1: this slate of five NBA games I just threw at 267 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:05,080 Speaker 1: you for Christmas Day? 268 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 2: Absolutely not. I'm glad my family it just chilling out. 269 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 2: I think I gained more of my day play a 270 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 2: call of duty than watching that shit cood. 271 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 1: So you're gonna be killing and not chilling, Yeah, killing 272 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 1: and not chilling. Oh, Man, I might grab a couple 273 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 1: of these. I might peak at a few, Jack twenty 274 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,200 Speaker 1: twenty four.

But as I went through that journey 511 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:37,359 Speaker 4: of collecting, I realized how many rich stories there are 512 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:39,920 Speaker 4: in the space of why is this baseball card worth 513 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,600 Speaker 4: a million dollars? Right, there's collectors out there that have 514 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 4: put together fifty million dollar collections. How did they find 515 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 4: these cards? So built a whole business out of it 516 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 4: with Trove, and now we work with all the top collectors, 517 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,959 Speaker 4: all the top auction houses to bring these items truly 518 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,239 Speaker 4: to life. And by doing that over the last four 519 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,679 Speaker 4: or five years, for fun, I was like, you know what, 520 00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,679 Speaker 4: I love sports stories too, right, obviously sports is my 521 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:04,440 Speaker 4: primary passion. So just for fun on all old NBA players. 522 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:06,359 Speaker 4: I love what happened to this guy? How did this 523 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,600 Speaker 4: guy make the league? All these people have such incredible 524 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 4: journeys and it's just fun. I just try to make 525 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,160 Speaker 4: cool short videos that people want to share with their 526 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:16,439 Speaker 4: buddies and hopefully you learn something new in sixty ninety seconds. 527 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:18,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely. I mean again, that's what drove me to you. 528 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,119 Speaker 1: I mean I went down a rabbit hole on your 529 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,040 Speaker 1: page one day, I was like, Yo, this dude is dope. 530 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:27,280 Speaker 1: But I heard just so many different crazy stories. I'm 531 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:30,159 Speaker 1: just like, we got to do something together. We actually 532 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,200 Speaker 1: sat down with Uncle Luke not too long ago, and 533 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:36,200 Speaker 1: Uncle Luke, aside from you know, being the leader of 534 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,160 Speaker 1: two LIVEE Crew and all the cool shit he did 535 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 1: with that, he was INIL before nil and they used 536 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,960 Speaker 1: to have a bounty program, oh b at Miami. He 537 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:45,880 Speaker 1: would take care of the guys here and there. So 538 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,600 Speaker 1: we tasked Frank to do a deep dive with this story, 539 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,400 Speaker 1: and Frank went in with his hard hat and did 540 00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 1: some research. So tell us about a little bit about 541 00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 1: what without giving it away, tell us a little bit 542 00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:00,280 Speaker 1: about what you found and how fun was this story 543 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:00,560 Speaker 1: for you? 544 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:01,359 Speaker 5: Yeah, it was awesome. 545 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,879 Speaker 4: So yeah, we're gonna be dropping a longer video on this, 546 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,920 Speaker 4: going into the full story, but just short. In the eighties, 547 00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:10,720 Speaker 4: Miami football was the greatest dynasty in college football history, right, 548 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:14,040 Speaker 4: they're coach that came. Coach Snellenberger came in nineteen seventy 549 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:17,640 Speaker 4: nine and he completely changed the program. And he said, Miami, 550 00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:19,919 Speaker 4: all we have to do to dominate is if we 551 00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 4: just get all the top recruits in South Florida. Don't 552 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:23,640 Speaker 4: worry about recruiting anywhere else. 553 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 5: We get all these guys, we will be great. 554 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,920 Speaker 4: And from eighty three to ninety one won four national championships. 555 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:32,840 Speaker 4: So Uncle Luke was biggest Miami football fan and he 556 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 4: wanted to help the guys out because they were getting 557 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,440 Speaker 4: no money back then. Players in the eighties you would 558 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,879 Speaker 4: get thirty bucks to feed yourself and go out on 559 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 4: the weekends, which isn't possible if you're a three hundred 560 00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 4: pounds star football player at Miami going out at night life, right, 561 00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 4: So he would look out for them. So what they 562 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,880 Speaker 4: had was this pay for big play bounty program where 563 00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 4: let's just say you get a sack, you make one 564 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:55,480 Speaker 4: hundred bucks. 565 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:57,800 Speaker 5: You get a big touchdown five hundred bucks. And every 566 00:25:57,840 --> 00:25:59,080 Speaker 5: week they had a big. 567 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:02,160 Speaker 4: Play are or whoever is the biggest hit that week 568 00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:04,880 Speaker 4: gets all the money. So maybe it's fifteen hundred bucks. 569 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:06,760 Speaker 4: Whoever knocks out the quarterback. 570 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,200 Speaker 5: You get the fifteen hundred bucks. Fine. 571 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,600 Speaker 4: The thing was, you have to win the game. If 572 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,000 Speaker 4: Miami didn't win the game, nobody. 573 00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 2: Gets paid no money. I like it. 574 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,400 Speaker 4: That may be a reason why Miami from eighty five 575 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,840 Speaker 4: to ninety four fifty eight consecutive home games. 576 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,119 Speaker 5: They didn't lose. They want to get paid. 577 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:24,960 Speaker 2: That's nuts. I love that. 578 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,000 Speaker 1: Well, Frank, thank you man.
