WEBVTT - Giannis Has Had Enough With The NBA Discussion

0:00:08.400 --> 0:00:11.760
<v Speaker 1>We are on Lonzo Ball Watch, and we have some

0:00:11.800 --> 0:00:16.040
<v Speaker 1>more bad news. According to Sham's Lonzo Ball will undergo

0:00:16.160 --> 0:00:18.880
<v Speaker 1>a third surgery on his left knee that will get

0:00:18.960 --> 0:00:22.920
<v Speaker 1>him to miss completely all of next year, putting his

0:00:23.120 --> 0:00:25.160
<v Speaker 1>entire career into doubt.

0:00:26.440 --> 0:00:27.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't even know.

0:00:27.000 --> 0:00:29.320
<v Speaker 1>What to say, man, I don't know who these people

0:00:29.360 --> 0:00:33.920
<v Speaker 1>are working on Lonzo. But the first initial injury was

0:00:34.000 --> 0:00:36.559
<v Speaker 1>a simple meniscus tear, and now we've got a guy

0:00:36.600 --> 0:00:39.000
<v Speaker 1>who might miss the rest of his career. He's on

0:00:39.080 --> 0:00:43.239
<v Speaker 1>his third surgery. What is that gonna do? I do

0:00:43.320 --> 0:00:45.400
<v Speaker 1>not want to face a reality where Lonzo Ball never

0:00:45.440 --> 0:00:48.120
<v Speaker 1>plays in the NBA game, But that's what it is,

0:00:48.600 --> 0:00:51.560
<v Speaker 1>so we'll move on. Jovon Buja just dropped the bomb

0:00:51.600 --> 0:00:55.360
<v Speaker 1>also about the Lakers' future plans that coincides with the

0:00:55.400 --> 0:00:59.120
<v Speaker 1>Lakers and D'Angelo Russell back in the fold. He wants

0:00:59.160 --> 0:01:02.000
<v Speaker 1>to get another contract, he wants to go back to

0:01:02.040 --> 0:01:06.320
<v Speaker 1>the Purple and Gold, and the Lakers are interested.

0:01:06.720 --> 0:01:07.319
<v Speaker 2>Makes sense.

0:01:07.560 --> 0:01:10.720
<v Speaker 1>So from what Jovon Buhan has been told by his

0:01:10.760 --> 0:01:14.600
<v Speaker 1>sources around the organization, he says this, they want to

0:01:14.680 --> 0:01:18.160
<v Speaker 1>run this situation, this current roster back it's looked good.

0:01:18.200 --> 0:01:20.080
<v Speaker 1>So far, They've won a ton of games. They've done

0:01:20.080 --> 0:01:22.920
<v Speaker 1>a lot of winning without Lebron and from what I've

0:01:23.040 --> 0:01:30.560
<v Speaker 1>been told, they are not going to be pursuing Kyrie

0:01:31.160 --> 0:01:37.080
<v Speaker 1>Irving in the off season. The Kyrie Irving ship, I

0:01:37.280 --> 0:01:45.800
<v Speaker 1>think has sailed what That leaves Kyrie with just one option,

0:01:46.720 --> 0:01:48.920
<v Speaker 1>the Maps, and we are gonna have to see how

0:01:48.920 --> 0:01:52.080
<v Speaker 1>that plays out with Dallas. Good thing lucaikes playing with them.

0:01:52.160 --> 0:01:54.000
<v Speaker 1>And as for the Lakers, I kind of like this

0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:54.440
<v Speaker 1>for them.

0:01:54.680 --> 0:01:57.880
<v Speaker 2>I like this team. This team's fun. This is the

0:01:57.880 --> 0:02:00.000
<v Speaker 2>most fun version of the Lakers I've seen.

0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:02.880
<v Speaker 1>In a long time. Likable too. I pretty much like

0:02:02.920 --> 0:02:06.720
<v Speaker 1>everybody on this team. This is a much better team.

0:02:06.520 --> 0:02:08.600
<v Speaker 2>Than they were in the Bowl when they won the title.

0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:11.680
<v Speaker 2>If they had a little bit more depth. Dare I

0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:15.919
<v Speaker 2>say the Lakers could be back? I hope not? All right?

0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:19.760
<v Speaker 1>Moving on to this quick contract update, another alert came

0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:20.920
<v Speaker 1>from Wojanowski.

0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:23.880
<v Speaker 2>Boh, this is the bomb. This is the sound of

0:02:23.919 --> 0:02:24.720
<v Speaker 2>the woj bomb.

0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:31.160
<v Speaker 1>The Atlanta Hawks have lockdown Bogdon Bogdanovic four years sixty

0:02:31.200 --> 0:02:37.480
<v Speaker 1>eight million dollar contract. Man That stings, considering that Boyon

0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:41.160
<v Speaker 1>signed a four year, seventy three million dollar contract and

0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:44.280
<v Speaker 1>I think he's older. Not only are they not related,

0:02:44.480 --> 0:02:47.000
<v Speaker 1>but now Bogdon has to go through life knowing he's

0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:49.960
<v Speaker 1>the second highest played b Bogdanovic in the NBA.

0:02:52.080 --> 0:02:55.160
<v Speaker 2>Either, I like him, Quinn Snyder must like him. That

0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:55.880
<v Speaker 2>makes sense.

0:02:56.280 --> 0:03:00.400
<v Speaker 1>He loved Boyon when he played for Utah he had

0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:03.440
<v Speaker 1>Joe Ingles and who is a slower version of bogdan

0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:07.760
<v Speaker 1>But now he's also had Boyon Bogdanovic too. So now

0:03:07.800 --> 0:03:11.600
<v Speaker 1>we have to wait until Quinn Snyder's master plan continues

0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:15.800
<v Speaker 1>to reveal itself. I guarantee, I don't guarantee, but I

0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:18.800
<v Speaker 1>do not think Trey Jung is back next year, Shucker.

0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:24.359
<v Speaker 1>I guess there's another All Star bitching about the MVP award,

0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:27.080
<v Speaker 1>and it's not Joel Embiid, only this time it is

0:03:27.200 --> 0:03:31.880
<v Speaker 1>Yannie Yannis. Yes, that's how you know things are getting

0:03:31.880 --> 0:03:34.640
<v Speaker 1>out of POCKETA because Jannis is speaking and is mad.

0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:35.800
<v Speaker 2>Here's what he said.

0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:38.440
<v Speaker 1>The thing that I don't get about the MVP criteria

0:03:38.520 --> 0:03:41.640
<v Speaker 1>is that it changes. Like I believe and I know

0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:45.000
<v Speaker 1>that people are dominating. So what is the MVP? Is

0:03:45.040 --> 0:03:47.200
<v Speaker 1>it the guy that scores the most points? Is it

0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:49.280
<v Speaker 1>the guy that's the most efficient Is it the guy

0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:51.560
<v Speaker 1>that's the most dominant, Is it the guy who's the

0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:52.440
<v Speaker 1>most valuable?

0:03:52.680 --> 0:03:55.240
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes the best player isn't even the most valuable on

0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:55.720
<v Speaker 2>the team.

0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:58.960
<v Speaker 1>Like I think that Brook Lopez is really valuable player

0:03:58.960 --> 0:04:03.480
<v Speaker 1>for our team. Like the MVP criteria just fucking sorry

0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:07.480
<v Speaker 1>for my language. It just changes Yiannis can't even cuss

0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:10.600
<v Speaker 1>without saying, hey, sorry, uh as I said again, I

0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:13.000
<v Speaker 1>can't control that. I can only control how I prepare

0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:14.839
<v Speaker 1>for the game and try to be ready for the game.

0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:17.240
<v Speaker 2>That's where it takes.

0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:19.159
<v Speaker 1>Do you know what it takes for Giannis to drop

0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:21.800
<v Speaker 1>an f bomb and then apologize. What it takes for

0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:24.239
<v Speaker 1>everyone to debate whether Yokic or Unbeid is the MVP

0:04:24.320 --> 0:04:27.159
<v Speaker 1>while Yannis draws forty and eighteen every damn night and

0:04:27.200 --> 0:04:30.359
<v Speaker 1>nobody says a freaking peep and he's already won it twice.

0:04:30.680 --> 0:04:34.600
<v Speaker 2>Why he's like, Yo, I just dropped forty five points

0:04:34.600 --> 0:04:35.200
<v Speaker 2>on the Kings.

0:04:35.320 --> 0:04:37.320
<v Speaker 1>What the fuck do I have to do in order

0:04:37.400 --> 0:04:40.720
<v Speaker 1>for you guys to start saying my name again? He

0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:43.720
<v Speaker 1>could score fifty every night if you wanted. It's very

0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:46.080
<v Speaker 1>clear that he's the most unstoppable player in the NBA,

0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:49.479
<v Speaker 1>and He can't even get into the conversation because of

0:04:49.480 --> 0:04:55.600
<v Speaker 1>this little pissing match between Mbid and Yokic. They haven't

0:04:55.600 --> 0:04:59.640
<v Speaker 1>even gone to it a finals combined, and Yannis is

0:04:59.640 --> 0:05:00.760
<v Speaker 1>already we won a title.

0:05:01.120 --> 0:05:02.240
<v Speaker 2>What are we doing?

0:05:02.360 --> 0:05:05.600
<v Speaker 1>Go off, Yannis, tell him what's good? You can give

0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:09.560
<v Speaker 1>out Yannis the MVP every year and nobody would complain.

0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:14.599
<v Speaker 2>That's how dominant he is. Times are changing, Times are

0:05:14.680 --> 0:05:15.280
<v Speaker 2>at changing.

0:05:15.839 --> 0:05:18.400
<v Speaker 1>Bob Dylan sang that ages ago, and you know Adam

0:05:18.400 --> 0:05:21.160
<v Speaker 1>Silver has that loaded up on repeat on his h

0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:23.120
<v Speaker 1>What is that Microsoft Zoom?

0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:26.120
<v Speaker 2>That's probably what he uses. Because it was announced today

0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:26.839
<v Speaker 2>that Silver and the.

0:05:26.880 --> 0:05:31.760
<v Speaker 1>League are looking to triple its current revenue from TV deals.

0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:37.719
<v Speaker 1>You know what happened, right, Adam Silver saw three numbers

0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:39.839
<v Speaker 1>and went from six to twelve and about one hundredth

0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:43.320
<v Speaker 1>of a second. Here's those numbers, five hundred and fourteen,

0:05:43.800 --> 0:05:47.200
<v Speaker 1>three hundred and ninety four and two hundred and seventy nine.

0:05:48.200 --> 0:05:52.360
<v Speaker 1>Those numbers are the gross revenue numbers of Amazon, Apple,

0:05:52.520 --> 0:05:57.840
<v Speaker 1>and Google in twenty twenty two, in the tune of billions.

0:05:58.320 --> 0:06:05.120
<v Speaker 1>That's total of one point one nine trillion dollars. Wow,

0:06:06.360 --> 0:06:07.840
<v Speaker 1>that's how much money they have.

0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:09.920
<v Speaker 2>Wow.

0:06:10.279 --> 0:06:13.279
<v Speaker 1>Put it this way, Amazon, Apple, Google, if they merged,

0:06:13.320 --> 0:06:18.240
<v Speaker 1>they'd have more gross revenue than all but fourteen countries

0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:23.720
<v Speaker 1>on Earth. The country of Google by Amazon GDP would

0:06:23.720 --> 0:06:28.480
<v Speaker 1>put them as the fifteenth richest country on Earth, ahead

0:06:28.480 --> 0:06:31.960
<v Speaker 1>of Mexico, Saudi Arabia, and Holland.

0:06:32.200 --> 0:06:37.080
<v Speaker 2>That's how much these fools make. So he saw a.

0:06:37.080 --> 0:06:40.320
<v Speaker 1>Peek at them and was like, Oh, yeah, we're gonna

0:06:40.400 --> 0:06:43.080
<v Speaker 1>need to soak them dry. We're gonna need to charge

0:06:43.120 --> 0:06:47.320
<v Speaker 1>them extra. They've got plenty. According to the Sports Business Journal,

0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:50.960
<v Speaker 1>the NBA has high hopes for squeezing more money out

0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:55.159
<v Speaker 1>of media outlets and negotiations because Amazon and Google told

0:06:55.200 --> 0:06:56.560
<v Speaker 1>the league of their interest.

0:06:56.320 --> 0:06:57.960
<v Speaker 2>In streaming the games.

0:06:59.160 --> 0:07:03.680
<v Speaker 1>Listen as someone who makes money off the teat of

0:07:03.880 --> 0:07:07.920
<v Speaker 1>right steals, don't hate it, don't hate it at all.

0:07:08.200 --> 0:07:11.160
<v Speaker 1>Guess what if TV revenue triples? Now, you're gonna get

0:07:11.160 --> 0:07:13.680
<v Speaker 1>salary caps in the three hundred million dollar range, which

0:07:13.720 --> 0:07:15.280
<v Speaker 1>means that we are going to get a player that

0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:17.920
<v Speaker 1>makes a hundred million dollars a year. And that also

0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:20.800
<v Speaker 1>means talking heads are gonna get paid more to bitch.

0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:25.040
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's move on. Finally, Bronnie James Bronnie James

0:07:25.080 --> 0:07:25.920
<v Speaker 2>the decision.

0:07:26.360 --> 0:07:34.040
<v Speaker 1>It's time for the Bronnie James TV radio, Twitter announcement.

0:07:34.400 --> 0:07:39.480
<v Speaker 1>Where will Bronnie James play basketball next year? He's getting

0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:45.520
<v Speaker 1>advice from his uncle uncle Kevin Kevin Durant. Durant had

0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:48.640
<v Speaker 1>this to say about college ball. There's still some amazing

0:07:48.720 --> 0:07:51.120
<v Speaker 1>talent in college now with so many different routes, the

0:07:51.160 --> 0:07:55.040
<v Speaker 1>otes going overseas, guys going to Australia, all that stuff

0:07:55.120 --> 0:07:58.280
<v Speaker 1>is cool, But still going to college. I feel like

0:07:58.320 --> 0:08:01.480
<v Speaker 1>that's a great route because it's ill on that big stage.

0:08:01.600 --> 0:08:03.760
<v Speaker 1>You get to show who you are on the big stage,

0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:06.920
<v Speaker 1>and the tournament NCAA tournament is still a huge thing.

0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:09.600
<v Speaker 1>I would love to see Bronnie in college instead of

0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:13.080
<v Speaker 1>going another route. Also, he better not go to Ohio State.

0:08:13.960 --> 0:08:16.360
<v Speaker 1>They didn't make the tournament this year, and I don't

0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:18.800
<v Speaker 1>think Bronnie James is elevating them to.

0:08:18.880 --> 0:08:20.920
<v Speaker 2>Some sort of march madness pursuit.

0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:24.600
<v Speaker 1>But prea John Katie college is I think the one

0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:26.680
<v Speaker 1>hundred percent the best route for Brownie.

0:08:26.760 --> 0:08:27.960
<v Speaker 2>Did you see what happened to Scoot?

0:08:28.800 --> 0:08:33.440
<v Speaker 1>Scoot is now on ice because he stinks against grown men.

0:08:33.800 --> 0:08:37.120
<v Speaker 1>You go against college students Brownie. If it looks like

0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:40.720
<v Speaker 1>a duck, it quacks like a duck, it's an Oregon duck.

0:08:40.880 --> 0:08:41.480
<v Speaker 2>Quack quack.

0:08:41.520 --> 0:08:44.600
<v Speaker 1>Bronnie James going to go to Oregon. That's my prediction.

0:08:44.920 --> 0:08:46.640
