Driving another hour and a 28 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,200 Speaker 1: half to the mountains in bap and then right, that's 29 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 1: what we do. Why is it called the Oklahoma of 30 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 1: Canada because it's just the because I know, I know 31 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 1: about the Stampede, because of marching band culture and brass culture. 32 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 1: Like that's a big that's a big draw. But I 33 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: also get that there's rodeos and stuff going on. What 34 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 1: is it about it? What is it about Calgary?

Uh it's uh, 38 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 1: it's you know a lot of small town rural communities. 39 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:13,520 Speaker 1: I don't know how cowboy it really is. When like 40 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 1: the two urban cities aren't cowboy all, but we we pretend. 41 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: We pretend to dress it up. Stampede for listeners who 42 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 1: don't know, is like a large cattle auction that is 43 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 1: also like a burning man for a Cowboys cowboy burning man. 44 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 1: It's like an inner city festival for ten days straight. 45 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 1: And yeah, there's a bunch of terrible stats that define it, 46 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 1: but we don't we don't need to get into those. 47 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,920 Speaker 1: Mostly good time. Yeah yeah, and true to the brand. 48 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 1: You're a MAVs guy, Yeah sure it fits, it fits. Yeah, yeah, 49 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 1: what was the draw to, like, how do you go? Like, 50 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 1: what's your sort of fan journey as a kid in 51 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 1: Calgary to the NBA and then the mass My origin 52 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 1: is a MAVs fan is not all that exciting. But 53 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 1: my mom was a flight attendant and she was, I 54 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 1: guess in the Fort Worth area. Brought me home a 55 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 1: Cowboys hoodie and a Mavericks T shirt when I was 56 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 1: like six, so that was just those are my teams. 57 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,079 Speaker 1: And then I was like a hipster for it, which 58 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 1: I also loved, right because now everyone else is like 59 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,639 Speaker 1: there are teams other than the Lakers and the Raptors 60 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,240 Speaker 1: in and I was like, yeah, I'm a fan of 61 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,519 Speaker 1: those teams, so but also like y'all had the best 62 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,519 Speaker 1: jerseys when when the Raptors and the and the Grizz 63 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: came out, These are the most fun. Damon Stodemyer was like, 64 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 1: my my one of my favorite players. There you go, Okay, 65 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 1: so purely just off the gift, You're like, does it 66 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 1: this is the cure of me? Was in It worked 67 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: because Nash was Canadian and then Dirk became my favorit 68 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 1: player of all times. So things like moved in the 69 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 1: right direction. If I had that first team, like you 70 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 1: remember really rooting for, like which, what's what squad was? Like? Man, 71 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 1: oh two, I would think like yeah, probably too. The 72 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 1: first playoff series I remember really watching was Sixers Lakers 73 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: and oh one. My first two basketball coaches Jabari A's 74 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 1: or the story before, but my first two basketball coaches 75 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 1: were arguing during you know, they're supposed to set a 76 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 1: drill or something, and they're arguing about who was better 77 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: Kobe or Ai. And that was like, Okay, I kind 78 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 1: of want to I want to partake. My coaches are cool. 79 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 1: I want to partake in this conversation. And I've been 80 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 1: arguing useless basketball comparisons for the last twenty something that 81 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 1: was that was the moment of that. Yeah, yeah, it's 82 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:26,280 Speaker 1: always that that elder influence that in right. So, how 83 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 1: are you feeling about the Maps this season? It's a 84 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 1: it's kind of an exciting year, a tumultuous offseason. Los 85 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 1: Bronson to the Knicks inquired Christian Wood via trade. Are 86 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 1: you are you confident? Is it? Like I again, I 87 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: think maybe I'm more cynical because I'm not part of 88 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 1: the market. Like if you live in the market, your 89 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 1: privy to all these like hype videos and like local 90 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:52,279 Speaker 1: pr pushes and you rub arms with Cuban at coffee 91 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 1: shops and think you're included in things. I don't know. 92 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: But it's like I saw Nico at subway and he 93 00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,480 Speaker 1: told me something. He told me everyone that's great. Everyone 94 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 1: was in the best shape of their life. Everyone had 95 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,719 Speaker 1: lost X amount of weight. But you know what, the 96 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,280 Speaker 1: MAVs have this very storied history of like having an 97 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 1: almost off season, like they really positioned themselves to do 98 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,040 Speaker 1: some amazing things in the off season, and then they 99 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 1: usually don't do them. And then this year they kind 100 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: of took that a step further and they're like, hey, 101 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 1: we've had a guy completely outperformed his draft value, completely 102 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,040 Speaker 1: surpass everything we hope from him, and we lost him 103 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,159 Speaker 1: to the Knicks, who haven't been able to sign anyone 104 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 1: else for the last twenty years. Like they really want 105 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 1: above and beyond, and it's smacking the expectations and I 106 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 1: can't line in. I I don't feel super optimistic. I 107 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:42,280 Speaker 1: felt like things broke incredibly right for the MAVs last year, 108 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 1: incredibly right. Not unlike Portland a few years ago where 109 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 1: they get Kevin Durant out in the conference finals and 110 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 1: they can't even take a game. That sort of This 111 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 1: year felt like for the MAVs, like the Son's imploded. 112 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 1: They're playing good basketball, the Jazz imploded. It was nice, 113 00:05:58,200 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 1: it was a feather in your cap, but I don't 114 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 1: know if are really in a position to build on 115 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,600 Speaker 1: what they did last year, and even with them probably 116 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 1: being a playoff team and Luca maybe winning M v P, 117 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:08,839 Speaker 1: which I know you want to get to, but it 118 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: doesn't It doesn't feel like this team ceiling is higher 119 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 1: than it was last year, which is tough because you 120 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: want to see growth. This is how I feel about 121 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:21,600 Speaker 1: the Sixers entering every pre There's different types of fandom 122 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 1: and some people you know, Fall Springs Eternal. Uh, you know, 123 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,479 Speaker 1: it's the preseason media day was a couple of days ago. 124 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,840 Speaker 1: Everybody is, uh, you know, everyone's in the best shape 125 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,719 Speaker 1: of their life. James Harden lost a hundred pound pounds 126 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:42,040 Speaker 1: hundred pounds jokingly, but um, you know, Jimmy Butler's hair 127 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 1: is glorious as we're going to talk about. But I'm 128 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 1: also yeah, for whatever reason, the way basketball fandom hit 129 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 1: me is like, I'm like, don't hurt me, don't I don't, 130 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 1: don't do this to me, don't get my hopes up. 131 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 1: I have a reason for that, though, like why I'm curious. 132 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 1: Like my reason is the O six finals, which I 133 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 1: still feel very sick about. And I won't I won't 134 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:05,719 Speaker 1: go down the rabbit hole with you, but I feel 135 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 1: very sick about the two thousand six finals still, So 136 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 1: that was my I don't trust anymore. I've been hurt 137 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 1: too deep. One way free throw at a time into 138 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 1: the soul and then you want to after that. Man, 139 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 1: But now it's one one. Now it's one one, you 140 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:27,679 Speaker 1: know what I mean. I don't have nice things. Yeah, 141 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 1: It's like I just I just wanna interview you and 142 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 1: find out what it feels like to get out of 143 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 1: the second round. Uh so you know that's that's where 144 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 1: I'm coming from. I saw the vote this morning. Doc 145 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 1: River says the most talented team he's ever had for 146 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 1: the ninth year in a row, which I fantastic quote 147 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 1: from Doc, like one google was like every team he's 148 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 1: ever had, most talented teams everything. I don't want to 149 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 1: take this away from you, but it does feel like 150 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 1: the Sixers are becoming the fun pick because they it's 151 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 1: like they have a lot of toys that are fun 152 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 1: to talk about, you know. I mean Embeat obviously is 153 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 1: like a generational basketball genius and physical, you know, just 154 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 1: just incredible. But then like I think there's the underrated. 155 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 1: He's been runner up MVP last couple of years, so 156 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 1: everybody's like, you know, slept on a little bit, like 157 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 1: by one and a half percent is embiad and then 158 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 1: the James Harden being in shape, and it's just like 159 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 1: people's minds are like I could see this, you know, 160 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 1: it like fires the imagination. I just I don't. I 161 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,680 Speaker 1: don't know, man, because it feels like a movie. Yeah, 162 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:34,679 Speaker 1: Like it's like a couple of things like yeah, man, 163 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 1: it beats hard and lost a hundred pounds, and you're like, yeah, 164 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 1: we're becking, like it feels like the momentum of a 165 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:46,679 Speaker 1: montage sequence. Polarizing team they are, they are so polarizing. 166 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:48,840 Speaker 1: It's funny. You're it's like you're in my head because 167 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 1: I tweeted something yesterday where I was like, if you 168 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 1: could just promise me and James Harden would be healthy 169 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:55,680 Speaker 1: and committed in the playoffs, Like if you could just 170 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,200 Speaker 1: make me that promise, and then then I would only 171 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,840 Speaker 1: have to see like m beat is hamper with a hip, knee, 172 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 1: shoulder one time in the playoffs, I picked you to 173 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:08,080 Speaker 1: win the title. Rety the talents there, How the heck 174 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 1: do you account for Harden and embat and the constant 175 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 1: like banged up and are they all? I mean, I 176 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 1: shouldn't throw, I shouldn't up and beat in here, but 177 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,960 Speaker 1: hardened last year in the playoffs looked like he was 178 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 1: so uninterested that one game. But that one game though, 179 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 1: step back. But I truly think that is the thing, 180 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 1: is that people still have that one game in their 181 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:33,479 Speaker 1: mind and it's like, you know that that's still confirmation 182 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 1: rises to the top and everyone's like, oh, but remember 183 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 1: they looked really good in that one Miami game. They 184 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,679 Speaker 1: looked like they could have gotten out of that series 185 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 1: and gotten swept by the Celtics in that game. Now 186 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 1: there's just something fun about them. I'm also sky high 187 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 1: on Maxie, Like I'm sky sky sky sky. I think 188 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 1: I'm obsessed. My my whole fan. My four year old 189 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 1: is obsessed with Maxie. Um. So he asked me in 190 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 1: the offseason, like, well, it's Maxie up to? Like why 191 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 1: why don't we watch Maxie anymore? He doesn't even recognize, 192 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 1: Like when I'm watching like football, he's asking what's up to? 193 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 1: Where's Maxie? Like, what's what's he doing? How's he looking 194 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 1: this offseason? Yeah, that's when I thought basketball was called 195 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:17,920 Speaker 1: Magic Johnson. I'm like Magic Johnson on the like, no, 196 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,960 Speaker 1: this is baseball. I'm like, so no, yeah, it's not 197 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,439 Speaker 1: coming in. That's the new that's my new definition for 198 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,559 Speaker 1: the factor. Like if a four year old is clamoring 199 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 1: in the background, four year old, look at the game 200 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 1: and be like that man is just faster than everyone 201 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 1: and knifeing through incredible athletes and getting to the cup 202 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:40,200 Speaker 1: every time. Speaking of your sixers, you know, optimism. I 203 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,680 Speaker 1: know we were talking about Chris Middleton and him missing 204 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 1: you know, the start of the season through injury, and 205 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,440 Speaker 1: you know, Jabari before it was like, Jack, can this 206 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 1: help you get some distance, create some distance between all 207 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 1: the distance between Philly and the Bucks? I was like, 208 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:57,559 Speaker 1: maybe close the distance a small amount because they're they're 209 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 1: better than us. They've made the finals, they've won the 210 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 1: championship and within the last two years. I think I 211 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:08,200 Speaker 1: think we should be talking about closing the distance, um, 212 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,680 Speaker 1: because yeah, and in Middleton will be back, he's not. 213 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,439 Speaker 1: What's what's the Vegas difference in wins for those two 214 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,080 Speaker 1: teams right now? You know, I don't know. I don't 215 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 1: got to be close at this point. Like you think 216 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 1: with what the Bucks kind of aging and all the 217 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 1: talent Philly, you even think it would be it would 218 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 1: be pretty neck and neck. Yeah, and I fully believe 219 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 1: that they can do some real damage in the regular 220 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:36,720 Speaker 1: season and the you know, the playoffs are the playoffs. Okay, 221 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 1: So I see, I see why we're similar. Just like 222 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,840 Speaker 1: you won't even hope aloud, you won't even like ponder 223 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 1: about the No, Yeah, you guys are definitely fell off 224 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,600 Speaker 1: the same tree of who hurt. I have a six 225 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 1: ye that I don't I don't wear because they've lost 226 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 1: too many games the days that I wore it. So 227 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 1: that's the level of um, just stupidity. I guess you 228 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,200 Speaker 1: would call fandom because you're such a big fan that 229 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:05,439 Speaker 1: even your hat affect what happens thousands of miles away, 230 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:10,679 Speaker 1: no matter what. Acknowledge your power. Yeah, I just wish 231 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:14,440 Speaker 1: Doc would acknowledge that I've been writing him letters being like, look, man, 232 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,599 Speaker 1: I got I gotta figured out. But he did acknowledge it. 233 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 1: You've got that season desist from his lawyers, right, But 234 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:21,720 Speaker 1: I just want him to acknowledge, Oh got you got 235 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 1: you got you for sure? For sure, Josh. But question 236 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:25,440 Speaker 1: for you, I know you said you were a little 237 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 1: bit feeling less optimistic well with the offseason. What would 238 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 1: you have liked to have seen for you to maybe 239 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,959 Speaker 1: move yourself into the slightly hopeful column? Yeah, I mean 240 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:35,679 Speaker 1: I would have liked to have seen them make up, 241 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 1: especially if they were going to lose Bronson. I would 242 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,840 Speaker 1: like to have seen them find that secondary playmaker score 243 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,719 Speaker 1: on the perimeter. That's name wasn't Spencer Dinwitty like? And 244 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:49,080 Speaker 1: I tho for whatever reason like Mark Cuban very clearly 245 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,960 Speaker 1: loved Spencer Dinwitty. There's a relationship there. I'm not saying 246 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,439 Speaker 1: he's a bad player. He's I think as your third guard. 247 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 1: He's a real nice rotation player to have. But I mean, 248 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 1: if you watch that Jazz series, every time he was 249 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 1: leaned on just missing terrible shots, couldn't get things going. 250 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,200 Speaker 1: Awful lot of pressure for him to step up. And 251 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 1: we've been talking about, you know, three straight years we 252 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 1: were talking about Luca really is incredible, but there's somewhat 253 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 1: of a ceiling to him running every possession for your team, 254 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 1: and even if he's super efficient, like there needs to 255 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 1: be possessions and times when he's off the floor where 256 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,199 Speaker 1: you can lean on somebody else to create that offense. 257 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 1: They sort of found it with Brunson, they immediately lost it. 258 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 1: So in my mind, it was either keep Brunson or 259 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 1: find someone you were comfortable taking that role. And I 260 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 1: don't know if we have it. I I don't know 261 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,679 Speaker 1: if the team has found that. I loved Tim Hardaway Jr. 262 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:38,840 Speaker 1: I really do, but again, I think we've kind of 263 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 1: seen that play out as well, and the combo him 264 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:45,320 Speaker 1: and didn't didn't what he's somewhat underwhelming. Yeah, I would 265 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 1: say the Luca thing is like like getting to view, uh, 266 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 1: you know, the MAVs from from an outsider, Like it 267 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 1: gets a lot of attention his usage, right, but there 268 00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 1: was a time when Ben Simmons had things really going 269 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 1: for for the Sixers and he just always put the 270 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 1: ball where it needed to go. And like it like 271 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 1: peqe Lebron where it's like he's basketball computer where the 272 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 1: ball always goes exactly where it needs to go. And 273 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,920 Speaker 1: like having that plus one of the best shot makers 274 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 1: that I've ever seen, like an uncanny shotmaker who like 275 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 1: can sometimes just flip it up while running in the 276 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 1: opposite direction and it just goes in and you know 277 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 1: what's going in. Like there's something about the MAVs this 278 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 1: year that is exciting to me because every team you 279 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 1: put around Luca, because he's such a singular talent, feels 280 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 1: like there's an opportunity for something that you've never really 281 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 1: seen before and like you just have to get the 282 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 1: pieces right. And like I mean, even like Christian would, 283 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 1: like I don't, I don't normally pay attention to acquisitions 284 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 1: such as Christian would, being like someone who comes on 285 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 1: and now there's like controversy is whether whether he's starting 286 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 1: or not. But everybody put around Lucas Uh, I don't know. 287 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 1: It's it's exciting to me. I mean, I'm interested to 288 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 1: see what they look like. Christian it's a nice player, 289 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 1: he does some nice things. But then you know, we 290 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 1: see this every year where like basketball in the playoffs 291 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 1: devolves into like a two man game, and like, are 292 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 1: him and Luca outperforming like Steph Dre Are they outperforming 293 00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 1: Jamal Yokich? Are they outperforming Kauai Paul George And I 294 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 1: just I don't know. I don't know about that, and like, 295 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 1: and it's exciting and maybe it's one of those things 296 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 1: where I think as a fan, if you've been in 297 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 1: the lottery for a long time, like the playoffs is 298 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,160 Speaker 1: so exciting, and then you get that one year where 299 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 1: you make the plaoffs and you're like a darling, like 300 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,600 Speaker 1: the Grizzlies last year. Everyone is like so excited, everyone 301 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 1: loves what you're doing. And then there are expectations like 302 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 1: the Maps have had this conference finals run and it's like, 303 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 1: now what. And I think that's only amplified by the 304 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 1: fact that you see player movement being what it is, 305 00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 1: and like some of the whispers a year ago about 306 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 1: like Luca wasn't totally happy on all the movement in 307 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:55,840 Speaker 1: the front office and some of the things behind the scenes, 308 00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 1: and you you kind of feel like there's always this 309 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 1: timer ticking behind your head of like if the MAVs 310 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 1: don't progress, like are they are gonna gonna lose that 311 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 1: chance to build around Luca the next five years because 312 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,400 Speaker 1: things have to essentially be seamless. It would seem to 313 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 1: keep a lot of guys these days. Hmm, all right, well, 314 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:16,680 Speaker 1: should we take a break and come back and talk 315 00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 1: media media to the media, the media, the media will 316 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:36,920 Speaker 1: be right back and we're back. And yeah, CJ McCollum 317 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 1: signed a two year extension with the Pelicans. Now New 318 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 1: Orleans has c J McCollum, Zion, Williams and Brandon and 319 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 1: grom Bingy through at a minimum. Yeah, And when when 320 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:55,560 Speaker 1: they had Zion with a with a high usage rate 321 00:16:56,120 --> 00:17:02,320 Speaker 1: two seasons ago, they were one of the more unstoppable offenses. 322 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:06,359 Speaker 1: Like he was just playing out of his mind. Um, 323 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:10,120 Speaker 1: It's it's really like the West is just stacked up, 324 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,159 Speaker 1: like there are so many teams that are going to 325 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 1: be interesting to see if they if they make the 326 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 1: playoffs at this point, because you've got Warriors, Sons, Nuggets, MAVs, Grizzlies, Clippers, Wolves, Pelicans, Lakers, Kings, Blazers, um, 327 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:34,439 Speaker 1: eleven teams right there with you know, I wouldn't be 328 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:40,119 Speaker 1: surprised to see the first nine, I'd say with a 329 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 1: like making a legitimate playoff run. And I am including 330 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 1: the Lakers in there because they do have Lebron James 331 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:50,480 Speaker 1: and Anthony Davis, which I think that's still correct. Yeah, 332 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 1: they still have Lebron James and Anthony Davis. Will they 333 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,960 Speaker 1: be able to walk and move? How many nights a 334 00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,639 Speaker 1: year do they have those two? That's what as a 335 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:01,919 Speaker 1: Laker fan like every day, I'm like, what do what 336 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:05,600 Speaker 1: offering must I bring lay at the altar for them 337 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:10,600 Speaker 1: to stay healthy for I don't know? Said they're an 338 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:12,719 Speaker 1: interesting team too. I mean the Lakers are all as 339 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,840 Speaker 1: polarizing as well, but oh yeah, but here you can 340 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,960 Speaker 1: see things just going, Oh, I think, yeah, we thought 341 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:22,040 Speaker 1: last year was a weird one, boy, right, I mean 342 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 1: if you get a d Russ and Brown out there 343 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:26,240 Speaker 1: for fifteen games to a row and it's still not 344 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 1: a good product that defense that has been well mounted 345 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 1: several times by all of them, that we weren't on 346 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,920 Speaker 1: the floor together, just it could sung you and wet 347 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Yeah, well I don't think, Yeah, 348 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 1: I think just even considering Russ as part of that, 349 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:41,720 Speaker 1: I'm not fully invested as that being a reality. Aren't 350 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,520 Speaker 1: the Lakers still considering part of that? That's yeah, that's 351 00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:46,760 Speaker 1: that's the freaky thing that we're watching, Like, are do 352 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:50,680 Speaker 1: you mean those words you're saying right now? But that's 353 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,000 Speaker 1: a whole other question. Let's focus on the real news, 354 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,640 Speaker 1: which is Zion because because of the Pelicans media day, 355 00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 1: this man came out and said something that is the 356 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 1: most horrifying thing I've ever heard from Zion Williamson. I'm 357 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:06,680 Speaker 1: just gonna play this. He says, he's feeling good and 358 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:10,200 Speaker 1: the best he's ever felt. Uh, I feel like I'm 359 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 1: in my best right now. I feel like I'm moving faster. 360 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:23,960 Speaker 1: I just I feel great, oh boy, faster and jumping higher. 361 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:30,280 Speaker 1: He looks a different quality for um. He he almost 362 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,200 Speaker 1: like because somebody was doing a side by side like 363 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:33,840 Speaker 1: what do you look like a media day last year? 364 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 1: Verse this year? And like last year? He looked like 365 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,760 Speaker 1: Zion Williamson to me, and this year he looks like 366 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:43,440 Speaker 1: he's cut from marble and like just every He also 367 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:49,520 Speaker 1: got a different haircut, but um lower. Yeah, it's it'll be. 368 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,119 Speaker 1: I mean the difference is the first one he looked 369 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:56,640 Speaker 1: like he looked country strong. The first picture he looked 370 00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:58,879 Speaker 1: country strong, and then the next one is like I 371 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,720 Speaker 1: got a trainer, I found out about what high performance 372 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:06,240 Speaker 1: athletics is because he looks just somehow stronger than country strong. 373 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 1: And I'm like, where are his overalls? Like that first one, 374 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,440 Speaker 1: I could just see him wearing like like a train 375 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 1: conductor striped overalls under like that was his outfit. And 376 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,600 Speaker 1: now it's like he looks like he's like I don't know, 377 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,439 Speaker 1: he's it's it's truly this. There's a shift there that 378 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,840 Speaker 1: I'm it just excites me. And then hear him say 379 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 1: with such confidence, it's such a big smile on his face, 380 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,600 Speaker 1: like I'm running faster, I feel like I'm jumping higher. 381 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:32,960 Speaker 1: That's I'd love to see it. I'd love to see it. Yeah, 382 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 1: I mean I was already excited. They're already one top 383 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,720 Speaker 1: five league pass teams for me, but this is this 384 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 1: is getting me even more excited it does. I mean, 385 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 1: we keep coming back to one point. The NBA made 386 00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:49,320 Speaker 1: a mistake. They gave us a show that they have 387 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 1: to listen to, and we've decided to take advantage of 388 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 1: that by pitching them ideas that they probably aren't hearing 389 00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:00,480 Speaker 1: anywhere else because they're so dumb and he we keep 390 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:04,119 Speaker 1: coming back to this idea that Zion would look great, 391 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:08,160 Speaker 1: and Overalls has looked great, and Overalls like they need 392 00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:11,320 Speaker 1: to make it so that Zion is like a fully 393 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:15,880 Speaker 1: formed wrestling character. Yes, like he comes to the gym, 394 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:20,639 Speaker 1: he checks in, or you know, during the announcement of 395 00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:23,879 Speaker 1: starting lineups, he has tear away overalls, yes, instead of 396 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,959 Speaker 1: a regular warm up, and just like everything, like he 397 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,160 Speaker 1: needs to be the first player with a Carhart deal 398 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,359 Speaker 1: instead of a Nike deal or in addition to a 399 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 1: Nike deal, and like Mikita power tools, like everything, you 400 00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:39,280 Speaker 1: know what I mean. They're like, this guy's an entire lifestyle. Yeah, 401 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 1: and like out of the tunnel on a fan boat. Yes, yes, 402 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:44,960 Speaker 1: and I think this is the thing I'm I would 403 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 1: love And another NBA's listening, or at least three people 404 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:51,200 Speaker 1: are that here's some ideas, right, because I would love 405 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,480 Speaker 1: that everybody can have their own costume based on their vibe, 406 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,960 Speaker 1: like your tarot, your warmups should be whatever you wanted 407 00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 1: to be, Like, you know, based like hitters in the 408 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,760 Speaker 1: in the in Major League Baseball, they have they have 409 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:03,560 Speaker 1: like music they can walk out too before they go 410 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:05,960 Speaker 1: to take their at bat, and that gives them a 411 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,639 Speaker 1: moment to sort of let people know their personality. I 412 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,159 Speaker 1: feel like you can tear away afi any outfit you 413 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 1: want as part of your like sub in sort of celebration. 414 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 1: You're opening this up to like Kyle Kuzma and Russell 415 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 1: Westbrook as well. Though, Yeah, we're gonna live through those choices. Yeah, 416 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:23,399 Speaker 1: and you know what the memes would be, The memes 417 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,840 Speaker 1: would make themselves. Okay, I'm making the argument that they 418 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 1: leave this decision to us. We based on players having 419 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 1: a strong enough vibe. We are allowed to pick like 420 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:39,480 Speaker 1: one player per teen that has a strong enough vibe 421 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 1: that like they are the player that when they're about 422 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,159 Speaker 1: to check in instead of just like going to the 423 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 1: scorers table, maybe there's like a little bit of a 424 00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:51,960 Speaker 1: smoke bomb effect and then you hear like their warm 425 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:55,359 Speaker 1: up music before that. Well, you never show this you 426 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,680 Speaker 1: never show the subs bench. It's always a mystery because 427 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 1: they gotta walk out like the w W E like 428 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,480 Speaker 1: when you sub in, So it's always a mystery. Up 429 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,680 Speaker 1: until that point. It's like, Oh my god, Shrewder has 430 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,199 Speaker 1: come out, and I feel like Shrewder he could wear 431 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:13,879 Speaker 1: outfit where he wears prosthetic shoulders on his shoulders just 432 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,120 Speaker 1: to accentuate that. And then so when he comes like 433 00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:19,399 Speaker 1: like like just just like like a like a like 434 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 1: a transformer, like a power Ranger machine getting ready. I 435 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 1: don't know. See, these are ideas. Yeah, these are all ideas, 436 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:27,159 Speaker 1: and not all of them are gonna be winners. But 437 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:31,199 Speaker 1: I mean Shrewder with big shoulders, shoulders upon shoulders, ye, 438 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:33,639 Speaker 1: shoulders upon shoulders, who would get the custom outfit on 439 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:37,440 Speaker 1: the MAVs Josh, Like when I feel's got the personality 440 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:39,800 Speaker 1: that could kind of like give us a little performance, 441 00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:41,959 Speaker 1: but also like it would really feel like again, this 442 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,720 Speaker 1: would be Dinwoody, and I feel like his outfit every 443 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 1: night would be like an n f T opportunity at 444 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:54,320 Speaker 1: some at some point like QR code would flash, but 445 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 1: like every night you gotta be on it, Like yeah, 446 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 1: I love that, so Zion I think we were saying 447 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 1: before we started recording, we were kind of debating, what 448 00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,480 Speaker 1: what do we think the best Zion like the you 449 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:12,439 Speaker 1: hear the first the opening you know stranger, yeah, and 450 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 1: and everyone and suddenly the announcers like, oh my, he's 451 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,920 Speaker 1: coming back.

Um with his hair extensions that he 471 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,879 Speaker 1: has been showing us over the course of the summer. 472 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 1: If you remember, in the beginning, they were like tide 473 00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:34,760 Speaker 1: dollar sign length, sort of like braids that he had. 474 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:39,119 Speaker 1: Then on day he shows up and insist to everybody 475 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:42,000 Speaker 1: he doesn't have extensions in with a straight face but 476 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:45,439 Speaker 1: also having a good sort of a good sense of 477 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:47,040 Speaker 1: humor about it. I just want to play this clip 478 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,880 Speaker 1: where he's talking to Taylor Rooks about his hair and 479 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,800 Speaker 1: kind of the motivation behind rocking these very long extensions 480 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:57,680 Speaker 1: that he has. They are not extensions. So y'all leave 481 00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:01,399 Speaker 1: me alone so you can be into the moment you 482 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:04,320 Speaker 1: decided that this was going to be your style.

Um, 487 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:23,239 Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm not gonna keep it though, I'm 488 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,879 Speaker 1: not gonna lie to you, it will be gone sooner 489 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:34,240 Speaker 1: rather than later. It's his hair is amazing, He's like, 490 00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:39,880 Speaker 1: I don't know he it changes his energy completely, especially 491 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:43,119 Speaker 1: like with the shaved face too, Like he just he 492 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:47,880 Speaker 1: looks completely different, phenomenal bit that I'm surprised nobody has 493 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:51,160 Speaker 1: done to this point. Just wear extensions and insist they're 494 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:54,879 Speaker 1: not extensions. And somebody were like a fun wig like once, 495 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:56,800 Speaker 1: I feel like Shock would put a wig on every 496 00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:58,560 Speaker 1: now and then, but it was it was him being 497 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:00,520 Speaker 1: like big shock with it like here. But like I 498 00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:02,840 Speaker 1: feel like Carlos Boozer took a sharp beat to his 499 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:07,480 Speaker 1: head several seasons and I don't make anybody loved it 500 00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:09,240 Speaker 1: at that time. I don't. I don't know if he 501 00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:12,960 Speaker 1: got much props for the creativity there or because he 502 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,480 Speaker 1: went he tried to push the techno technological boundaries of 503 00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:20,359 Speaker 1: what we considered hair. You know, we're like ink. I 504 00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:23,800 Speaker 1: don't know if we're considering ink hair quite yet. Which 505 00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:26,760 Speaker 1: is I think his Like these dracts really make it 506 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:28,720 Speaker 1: look like if tied all the sign was in me 507 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,680 Speaker 1: goes or like he didn't make it, he got kicked 508 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:34,080 Speaker 1: out of egoes. He's working with a strong hair, like 509 00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:36,760 Speaker 1: a strong hairline to begin with. You know, it's just 510 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:40,679 Speaker 1: also it's there's no question of like, oh man, what 511 00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,120 Speaker 1: is he trying to pull off? You know, right, if 512 00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:46,800 Speaker 1: if Alex Crusso came with the same like look or 513 00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 1: like a long flowing hair, it probably wouldn't work quite 514 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,440 Speaker 1: balding man, no disrespect to bald mom. But he came 515 00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:57,320 Speaker 1: out with a full lace front. I'd be like liviers liviers, 516 00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:01,199 Speaker 1: liviers Alex. But it is like this is bordering on 517 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:04,359 Speaker 1: character work. He was doing it all summer came back, 518 00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:07,760 Speaker 1: I mean, with with hair length that like we all 519 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:11,159 Speaker 1: saw him three months ago, four months ago like that 520 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:15,760 Speaker 1: to claim that it physically he just like focused real 521 00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:17,879 Speaker 1: hard and like grew his hair out in the in 522 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:22,040 Speaker 1: the last couple of months. Phenomenal bit. Shout out to 523 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:25,480 Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler. Long may last. And then lastly, you want 524 00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:28,840 Speaker 1: should we talk about that that you honest clip? Yeah? 525 00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:31,479 Speaker 1: Which about Courier about the Euro I mean we had 526 00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 1: two good, two good media day moments. One was like 527 00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,879 Speaker 1: pretty straightforward he said Steph Curry is the best player 528 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,880 Speaker 1: in the world. Um, after leading the Warriors to the title, 529 00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 1: which feels like the right thing to say, right, it's 530 00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:47,880 Speaker 1: not like a hot take, like I can follow the 531 00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:51,040 Speaker 1: logic of saying like, well, he took his team to 532 00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,880 Speaker 1: the end, and that's a that's my easiest sort of 533 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,560 Speaker 1: not like I don't know, not as confrontational or a 534 00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:58,920 Speaker 1: controversial take. It's one of those things that were like, 535 00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:01,480 Speaker 1: if he says like I don't know, I wouldn't blame 536 00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:02,720 Speaker 1: him if he's like, I think I'm the best player 537 00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:04,640 Speaker 1: in the world. But it's one of those things where 538 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,040 Speaker 1: doesn't like roll off the tongue unless you're one of 539 00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:10,560 Speaker 1: those guys who's like truly just loves to remind people. 540 00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 1: It's just gonna be perceived as as something you know 541 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:16,120 Speaker 1: it will be. It will be written in headlines. So 542 00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:18,280 Speaker 1: I think it's like the politically correct move. You honest 543 00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:23,200 Speaker 1: gonna be Marriy Milwaukee after this. And then also so 544 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,600 Speaker 1: the euro basketball is harder for him than the NBA, 545 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:28,960 Speaker 1: which I think a lot of people were like, oh, 546 00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:32,120 Speaker 1: shots fired like his competitors in the NBA, But when 547 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:35,520 Speaker 1: you hear the whole clip, it sounds more similar to 548 00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:39,000 Speaker 1: like him just saying that the lanes are a little 549 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:42,120 Speaker 1: bit more clogged up, and it's and they're more physical 550 00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:45,520 Speaker 1: because they're not as talented as NBA players. It was 551 00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:47,280 Speaker 1: interesting though, I mean it does sound a little more 552 00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:51,560 Speaker 1: similar to playoff basketball the time, and obviously NAMB it's 553 00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:55,600 Speaker 1: way higher. But the space is just you have a 554 00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:57,800 Speaker 1: lot of lanes who drive the ball, a lot of 555 00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:01,120 Speaker 1: lanes to create. It's just they go over these morning 556 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:04,000 Speaker 1: tens like people pick you up full court double team 557 00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:09,320 Speaker 1: you uh, full court zone, um to man's man to 558 00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:13,480 Speaker 1: the last uh five second double teams from the start 559 00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:15,720 Speaker 1: from zone, and then they go man's man last the 560 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,160 Speaker 1: seconds and then the double team in the post. There's 561 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:22,800 Speaker 1: no lanes like it's just the more physical Yeah, and 562 00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:24,960 Speaker 1: this is why I've been saying that people needed to 563 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:27,400 Speaker 1: give me a shot in the NBA before they fully 564 00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:31,960 Speaker 1: decided no, just you didn't play college basketball. You weren't 565 00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:35,400 Speaker 1: even that good in high school. Like why, like the 566 00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:38,120 Speaker 1: lanes were going to open up. I definitely might my 567 00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:41,760 Speaker 1: game lent itself more to just that wide open, wide 568 00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:45,959 Speaker 1: open spaces. Wind blown through my hair because I do 569 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,400 Speaker 1: have long hair, and my vision of myself playing in 570 00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:51,680 Speaker 1: the NBA. UM, so you got like long hockey hair 571 00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:57,040 Speaker 1: or something. Trevor Lawrence, right, right right, Yeah. I mean 572 00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,520 Speaker 1: it's interesting to hear him so be so like unequivocal 573 00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:02,360 Speaker 1: though too, you know where he's like, nah, I like 574 00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:05,440 Speaker 1: I'm playing better because I go when I'm playing in Europe, 575 00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:08,680 Speaker 1: it's such a harder it's just a harder proposition for me, 576 00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:10,520 Speaker 1: Like it opens up for me in the n b A. 577 00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:13,920 Speaker 1: I have to think differently in Europe, and so it's 578 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,200 Speaker 1: a great it's a great way for me to get prepared. 579 00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:18,400 Speaker 1: And I just I'm like, again, I'm only thinking about 580 00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:21,600 Speaker 1: like other European sports, and like it is so tactical, 581 00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,760 Speaker 1: like everything is so tactical where it's never just like hey, man, 582 00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:26,960 Speaker 1: get out there, let's do our thing, and you know, 583 00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:28,560 Speaker 1: just put some points on the board. We'll be all right. 584 00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:31,400 Speaker 1: Where it's like, okay, how can we efficiently identify the 585 00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:34,160 Speaker 1: weak points in our opponents game and figure out how 586 00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:37,080 Speaker 1: to exploit those? Well, just playing eking out the margins. 587 00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:39,000 Speaker 1: And it's interesting to see him sort of describe that 588 00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:41,400 Speaker 1: game like that, all right, should we take a break 589 00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:46,520 Speaker 1: and then come back and put our guests Josh under 590 00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:50,520 Speaker 1: on the hot seat under the rapid fire hot seat. 591 00:31:50,680 --> 00:32:03,840 Speaker 1: All right, we'll be right back and we're back, and 592 00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:10,240 Speaker 1: it's time for Mr Johns really from Calgary stretching trash, Yeah, 593 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,400 Speaker 1: getting ready.

Yeah, there's 615 00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:25,760 Speaker 1: gonna be a period of adjustment with the things that 616 00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:27,960 Speaker 1: you mentioned and also the things that you didn't mention 617 00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:30,720 Speaker 1: that are there happening behind the doors of this time. 618 00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:34,720 Speaker 1: I think absolutely on their wins, total under on their 619 00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:38,560 Speaker 1: wins to m okay alright, okay, okay, um, So you 620 00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:41,720 Speaker 1: heard our dumb pitch for the n b A the 621 00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:47,520 Speaker 1: like players get entrances, one player each team left our 622 00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:51,120 Speaker 1: our podcast, what which player gets it?

We talked about the Pelicans 646 00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:00,000 Speaker 1: for five minutes and we didn't talk at all about 647 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,520 Speaker 1: they're playing, and we talked about like Zion's outfits. I 648 00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:04,600 Speaker 1: think like the Pelicans are gonna be in stating this year. 649 00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:06,800 Speaker 1: I think they're gonna be just like so so so 650 00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:11,319 Speaker 1: good regular season basketball. How deep theyre going? I think 651 00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:14,080 Speaker 1: they're they're only winning or I think they're getting into 652 00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:15,920 Speaker 1: the playoffs and probably not even winning around. But I 653 00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:18,480 Speaker 1: think that team is winning games. I think they're going 654 00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:22,520 Speaker 1: now wow, okay, and you're you're saying that that how 655 00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:25,920 Speaker 1: insane they're gonna be.
