Speaker 1: to things said on other podcasts. Yes, why I payed

16
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 1: to Lebron's podcast It's called Mind That Game. He was

17
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: asked a couple of interesting questions on the Last Pot

18
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:14,040
Speaker 1: and My Guys clip. This. This is when he was

19
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:15,839
Speaker 1: asked if he'd ever be an NBA head coach.

20
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 2: Here's Lebron Lebron, what team would you coach if you

21
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 2: become a coach? Let me just stop that one right

22
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 2: now and say, please please don't coach.

23
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 3: Please please, there's no way.

24
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 4: There's no way, guyss don't coach.

25
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:27,839
Speaker 1: I'm Taylor.

26
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 5: Thanks for the question, but bono Taylor appreciates you for

27
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 5: a cond question.

28
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:31,759
Speaker 4: But it ain't happening.

29
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 6: No team.

30
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 7: Zero chats zero.

31
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,759
Speaker 2: If you're counting at home, listen.

32
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 1: I'll take him at his word, but I will also

33
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: say that there's plenty of other things he said he

34
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: would never do that he actually does. Here's Lebron talking

35
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 1: about the ring culture of the NBA.

36
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 5: It's funny.

37
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 4: I don't know.

38
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 5: I don't know why I've discussed so much in our

39
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 5: sport and why it's the all be all of everything.

40
00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 5: You can sit here and you tell me, you know,

41
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 5: and Charles Barkley and Steve Nash, you know, you know,

42
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 5: wasn't unbelievable, like, oh, they can't be talked about or

43
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,119
Speaker 5: discussed with these guys. Is because this guy won one

44
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 5: ring or won two rings or one like It's just

45
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 5: it's just weird to me. It's like Sam Peyton Manning

46
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 5: can't be in the same room with Brady or Mahomes

47
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 5: because he only has one ring. They don't never discuss

48
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 5: that in the sport or telling me that Dan Marino

49
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 5: is not the greatest slinger of all time, or he

50
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:33,639
Speaker 5: can't be in the room with those guys because he

51
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,799
Speaker 5: didn't win a championship. They don't discuss those things.

52
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 1: I actually think it's a really smart point that he's making,

53
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: and some of that I agree with. I do think

54
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 1: that if you give me each individual guy, we can

55
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:54,119
Speaker 1: have an individual conversation about that guy's story. Alan Iverson

56
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: was not a winning player, like well, I got to

57
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: the finals once, Like that team was built very well

58
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,239
Speaker 1: and unbelievably well coached by Larry Brown, who also obviously

59
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,920
Speaker 1: won a championship with the Detroit Pistons with some of

60
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:12,359
Speaker 1: the same formula. Right, you had four great defensive players

61
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: in Alan Iverson. And remember that's just like how many

62
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 1: teams have we seen kind of randoms Indiana Pacers, Orlando

63
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: Magic with Hato Turklou and Dwight Howard, Lebron James with

64
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: the Caps, not a great team, but they get to

65
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: the NBA Finals out of a weaker Eastern Conference. So

66
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: it has happened before, so sometimes again depending upon the player.

67
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: More so in basketball than other sports. You know, one

68
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: great player can carry you a long way. You gotta

69
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: have a great team around you. But sometimes you're going

70
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: to pass because you weren't on a great team every

71
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: year you played in a bad franchise, or you had injuries, whatever.

72
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: But when you played fifteen years and you can't sniff

73
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: atn NBA title, I would even say that if you

74
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: asked Charles and Charles Barkley, it was a great player.

75
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: But there was the first half of his career where

76
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: he wasn't. He didn't dedicate himself nearly as much to

77
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 1: his fitness as he should have, and by the time

78
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: he did, then he was off to Phoenix, where they

79
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: came close, but they ran upon Michael Jordan. I think

80
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: each individual guy can have an individual you have an

81
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,359
Speaker 1: individual conversation for why they should or should not be

82
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: in that room with the all time greats. Do I

83
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: think that you can be an all time great and

84
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: you only have one title as opposed to some guys

85
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: having three, four or five. Of course, of course, do

86
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:41,840
Speaker 1: I think it's subjective? Yes, I do, I really do.

87
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: But the idea of Lebron not being a coach. I

88
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 1: think that Lebron is very bright. I think he does study,

89
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: does know a lot about basketball and is prepped and

90
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: understands coverages and probably could The issue with Lebron and

91
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,039
Speaker 1: being a coach in the NBA, and we've said this

92
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: before about the NFL, which is, if you want to

93
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: coach at that level, you have to get over yourself

94
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 1: because it is not about you, it's about everybody else.

95
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 1: And Lebron's a lot of things and he probably knows

96
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: this and won't say it, but he's not over himself

97
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 1: at all, so it won't work. You know, a guy

98
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 1: who deems himself to be the greatest of all time

99
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: would struggle to coach anybody else, I thought, I mean Bayer.

100
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: You remember Larry Bird was actually a really good coach. Now,

101
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 1: Larry Bird here's a real thing. When he got the

102
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 1: job with the Indiana Pacers, they had gotten eliminated in

103
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: the first round. Isaiah Thomas was their coach. He hired

104
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: I'm not making his name up, and I'm going to

105
00:05:54,720 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: try and say without laughing, Dick Harter as his defensive coordinator.

106
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: That was actually the name of his defensive coordinator. And yeah,

107
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 1: I know and Dick Harter was once upon a time

108
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 1: a coach. I think of the Oregon Ducks and they

109
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 1: were called the Kamikaze kids. Like, he was a fanatic

110
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 1: as a defensive guy, fanatic. So he hired on offensive coordinator,

111
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,600
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator, coach the team understood men, understood how to

112
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 1: run a team. Occasionally, you know, drew up a play

113
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,039
Speaker 1: or whatever, but it worked for him. In order to

114
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 1: do that, in order to hire somebody else to run

115
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: your offense, hire somebody else to run your defense. When

116
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: you've been a great player, you got to be a

117
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 1: guy who's willing to sacrifice where ego that doesn't strike

118
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: beas Lebron.

119
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 3: James, No, no, it doesn't. It is interesting too. I'd

120
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,280
Speaker 3: sometimes feel that, you know, these like former player hires

121
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 3: are just show how much of a player driven league

122
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 3: it is, because it's a way that maybe ownership feels

123
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 3: is the only way they can get through play and

124
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 3: maybe back then as we need to have star players

125
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 3: be head coaches because that's the only way we're going

126
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 3: to maybe get through to some of these guys, which

127
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 3: is crazy to think of. I look at this Lebron

128
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 3: thing that he doesn't want to coach. I've heard your

129
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 3: comments about his ownership possibilities, you know, with a future

130
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 3: NBA franchise. I have the same feeling like I did,

131
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 3: and I know Jason Stewart knows where I'm going with

132
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 3: this that I had with the inside the NBA last

133
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 3: year when we were talking about all these rights and

134
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 3: people were like, oh, man, how can you lose inside

135
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 3: the NBA? And I felt that the league probably just

136
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 3: didn't want inside the NBA around anymore because they take

137
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 3: so much air in the room, you know, they take

138
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 3: up so much air in the room, and talking about

139
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 3: the league completely overshadows their main broadcast partner. And in

140
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 3: a way, I feel the same about Lebron James, where

141
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 3: if you're the NBA and he's been in the league

142
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 3: for twenty years, at some point, don't you just want

143
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 3: a league without him or a chance to grow away

144
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 3: from him. So, whether it be coaching, whether it be

145
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 3: front office, whether it be ownership, I actually think that

146
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 3: the NBA would probably want Lebron to just maybe not

147
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 3: be around for a while, or not be around, you know,

148
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 3: period didn't work for Michael Jordan, like having Michael Jordan

149
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 3: stick around in the owner of the Hornets. I don't

150
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 3: know how great of a thing that was for the NBA,

151
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 3: except to have a team back in Charlotte. But like

152
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 3: the ownership run wasn't a great run. And I kind

153
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 3: of have the same feeling with Lebron James that the

154
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:35,719
Speaker 3: NBA probably just wants him to go away after a

155
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 3: little while.

156
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 1: I don't think they want him to go away. I don't,

157
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 1: but I definitely and I think they'd want him on

158
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: that broadcast. I think it only diminishes him if he's

159
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 1: on the broadcast, right because then when he says something

160
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 1: he hasn't watched, and you know, you say, like, he's

161
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 1: just not Barkley, Like Barkley is the only one who

162
00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: can get away with saying things that don't make sense,

163
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 1: or you know what team he played for, not knowing

164
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 1: what team a guy plays for, mispronouncing guy's names like

165
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 1: he just can't do it. Because Lebron's brand has always

166
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 1: been I'm really smart.

167
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 3: Sure, Well, that's the funny thing. I think that Lebron,

168
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 3: if he were to ever do broadcasting, would maybe go

169
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 3: in to try to get his pound of flesh. But

170
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 3: the Jordan coming in and doing broadcasting is is interesting

171
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 3: in the fact that Jordan never talked great about his

172
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 3: peers anyway, so that would contradict what Charles, Barkley and

173
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,319
Speaker 3: Shaq would do. Then maybe Jordan would then give a voice,

174
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 3: which is I think how they're positioning it, give a

175
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 3: voice to the current players from an all time legend

176
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 3: and the goat that many people think he is. But

177
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 3: Jordan was never complimentary of the old heads that are nowadays.

178
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 3: And I don't know if Lebron would come in and

179
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:55,719
Speaker 3: take that role of Jordan, I think he'd be more

180
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 3: of what Charles and Shack are and saying like, na,

181
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 3: these guys aren't it he wants he's pound a flash

182
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 3: after having deal dealing with it for the last twenty years.

183
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 1: But I think I thought I thought the I thought

184
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 1: the part of the discussion I didn't like is how

185
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,439
Speaker 1: they just laughed it off and he didn't explain why.

186
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 4: That's exactly my point. Could we play that sound again

187
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 4: and then I'm going to tell you my one word

188
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 4: answer to it.

189
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: I know exactly what you're second ahead, Lebron.

190
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 2: What team would you coach if you become a coach?

191
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 2: Let me just stop that one right now and say, please, please,

192
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 2: don't coach.

193
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 3: Please please, there's no way.

194
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 4: There's no way, guys don't coach.

195
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: I'm Taylor.

196
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 4: Thanks for the question.

197
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 3: By Bo.

198
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 5: Taylor appreciates you for a kind question.

199
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:46,839
Speaker 4: But it ain't happening, no team, zero chance. I speak

200
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 4: for all your listeners when I asked the following, because.

201
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 1: Because why.

202
00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 4: Why doesn't he want to coach?

203
00:10:59,679 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: Yes?

204
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 4: Where's the follow up? Yes, well that's where you explain

205
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 4: for those that don't.

206
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 1: And why and why laugh at the possibility of it. Well,

207
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 1: but like Bill Russell was a Bill Russell was a

208
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 1: player coach. Uh Blair Bird has been a coach. Magic

209
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 1: Johnson was a coach, not a good one, but he

210
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: was a coach. Isaiah Thomas was a coach. Chasing kids

211
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 1: a coach. Steve Kerr is a coach. Steve Nash across

212
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 1: the way from you has been a coach. Once you

213
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 1: want to coach. And look, there isn't a wrong answer

214
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 1: if you don't want to do something. But if you're

215
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:34,319
Speaker 1: going to ask the question on a podcast, it was

216
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 1: clearly a prepared question because they had it on a

217
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,319
Speaker 1: card and I want to do it.

218
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not like they only got eight questions. There

219
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 3: was a reason that they chose that one to have

220
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 3: that moment, to have that laugh, have that clip.

221
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 4: That's why it feels like an inside joke between Steve

222
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 4: and Lebron. And the thing that lacks is why context.

223
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: No, and I my guest, there's the here's the two

224
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 1: things how it? If I'm being honest, I feel like

225
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 1: you're laughing because they feel like coaching is beneath them

226
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 1: or Lebron feels like coaching is beneath him, right, feels

227
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 1: like he's beneath him. Now the real part to me,

228
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: Steve Nash's experience must have been so brutal and he's like,

229
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 1: I want nothing to do with this anymore. And Lebron

230
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 1: knows that's where he's going with it. But to me,

231
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: it translates as I'm Lebron, James, why would I coach?

232
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: It's beneath me? That's what it feels like. By are

233
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:36,559
Speaker 1: you differently?

234
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 3: Well, No, Like I think that that's a part of it.

235
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,679
Speaker 3: But again, like I think they did it for that

236
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 3: moment and that messaging, Like I, unless I'm completely missing something,

237
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 3: you and Jason wanted him to give like a real

238
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 3: reason on why he wouldn't coach, And I just don't

239
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 3: think that was ever ever a part possibility for why

240
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 3: they chose the question am I missing something? Am I?

241
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: No? Like, no, it's just it was just they chose

242
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 1: the question do you ever want to coach?

243
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 6: No?

244
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, because they got they've got five hundred questions. But

245
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 3: so they ended up choosing that one to have that

246
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 3: moment so Lebron could do his laugh or Nash could

247
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 3: be like, I'm not even going to ask you this one,

248
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 3: like you like, there's you probably got five hundred questions.

249
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 3: How did that one to your point? Make it to

250
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 3: a card and make it on tape, And it's so

251
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 3: they could just have that moment of being of, let's

252
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 3: just do let's just I'll just laugh it off and

253
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 3: and put it belief then put it beneath me, because

254
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 3: that's what it is.

255
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's and again I think that's what Jay

256
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 1: Stu and I are think, is like, well, what's the

257
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: point it's got to be put? Why not? Why is

258
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:55,719
Speaker 1: it so funny? You know? Uh, it's if nothing else,

259
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:59,719
Speaker 1: it's it's a little bit awkward to listen to if

260
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 1: you stop and look listen to it a second time

261
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 1: like we did, because like, wait, why are they why'd

262
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 1: they again, that's a great you asked the great question

263
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:13,319
Speaker 1: you can answer. You have five thousand questions. Who wouldn't

264
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: want Lebron James or Steve Nash or Lebron James and

265
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 1: Steve Nash to ask a question? You chose this one.

266
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 1: You chose to answer this one. And the only part

267
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: answer was no, never and no follow up as to

268
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 1: what at like never ever ever, not player coach.

269
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 3: There was never gonna be that, because that's why they

270
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 3: wanted this. They wanted Lebron to laugh. They wanted to

271
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 3: ask to be like, I'm not going to ask this,

272
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 3: you know sort of thing.

273
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 1: I hate the I'm not going to ask this, and

274
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 1: you asked this thing. It's a personal frustration of fine.

00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 3: All right there, dan Byer, Doug, I've branched out. I've

310
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 3: been taking liberties with this because I know I'm wrong

311
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 3: a lot, but I can't always be wrong, so sometimes

312
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 3: I try to look in different areas. And what I'm

313
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 3: remorseful about today was that I didn't bring this up yesterday.

314
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 3: This was a behind the scenes situation at Fox Sports Radio.

315
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 3: We've had some difficulties technically with our clocks here. They've

316
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 3: been like a second or two off, so or engineering

317
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 3: department has been going crazy and trying to sort this

318
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 3: whole thing out. And yesterday Andrew from the fifth floor

319
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:09,119
Speaker 3: came downstairs and Iowa Sam to his face, said hey Corey,

320
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 3: and it was it was so and Andrew goes, I'm Andrew,

321
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 3: and it was one of those hilarious awkward moments that

322
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 3: I actually thought Iowa Sam called Andrew Corey for some

323
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 3: hidden reason because he was so confident in him, but

324
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 3: called him the wrong name to his face, a co worker,

325
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 3: and it was just it was so funny. It was hilarious,

326
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:39,919
Speaker 3: and I am remorseful that I didn't bring it up

327
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 3: yesterday as part of my love and hate. Do you

328
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 3: remember this, Sam? What did you feel? What he said?

329
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 3: It's Andrew?

330
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 8: Well, okay, I see the guy maybe once here, so

331
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,120
Speaker 8: he's not really a coworker, he is, he works here.

332
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 3: Andrew's got glasses. It is bald. Yeah's Corey does not

333
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:56,879
Speaker 3: wear glasses and is not bald.

334
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 8: I think Corey does wear glasses and he is bald.

335
00:17:59,080 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 3: There both times.

336
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,879
Speaker 8: They're both bold with classes. Yeah, they're the different guys,

337
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:06,479
Speaker 8: and it was just a genuine mistake. I mixed them up.

338
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 8: So I'm glad that you found a way to throw

339
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 8: me under the bus for your you're throwing you under

340
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:14,399
Speaker 8: the bus, but a little bit, a little bit because

341
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:18,159
Speaker 8: you know, I could have brought it up today.

342
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:20,879
Speaker 1: You did air on National Radio EN podcast.

343
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 3: Oh, because it was hilarious.

344
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:28,400
Speaker 1: And have you ever that happened one of my assistant coaches,

345
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 1: I have a player named mac Recky. He's a new coach.

346
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 1: He keeps calling him Matt and they're like, hey, you

347
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 1: gotta tell coach his day's Mac not Mac, Like nah,

348
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 1: just see how long he goes until he pickures it out.

349
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,359
Speaker 8: It's like the Susie and a Lane thing from Seinfeld

350
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 8: sus So I'm glad he corrected me off the bat

351
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:50,959
Speaker 8: and I and then I I like when I said Andrew,

352
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 8: I was like in my head, I was like, that's

353
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 8: that's all right, so Coy so like, that's not Coy

354
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 8: Corey and I knew it immediately, and I was like, yeah,

355
00:18:59,080 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 8: that's not that's not good.

356
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 4: A listener chiming in here, Corvette Guy twenty eight, Guy

357
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 4: twenty eight did Sam look on Google for Corey's name? Ha? Ha.

358
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:13,919
Speaker 3: The funny thing is is Jason is told the uh

359
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 3: Tyris Thomas story at least four times on this network.

360
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,920
Speaker 3: He has no problems talking about it, but I bring

361
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 3: up this one interaction and you feel like I'm throwing

362
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 3: you under the bus. And I just I thought it was.

363
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 8: We're putting out fires back here, and then all I

364
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 8: hear is this little embarrassing funny story to start.

365
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 3: And it's like, how is this tied into buyer's remorse?

366
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:34,400
Speaker 1: Oh?

367
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 8: Because I should have because I didn't bring it upful.

368
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 3: Oh it was. It was great, especially because I feel

369
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 3: like Iowa Sam tries to go the extra mile, you know,

370
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 3: and being friendly, and then they're just flat out calling

371
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 3: a guy by a wrong name straight to his face.

372
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 3: It was just it wasn't and it wasn't like an

373
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 3: Andy Andrew sort of thing, like you weren't even in

374
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 3: the same zip code it was.

375
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 8: But yeah, so Ris, listen, Dan, I respect you how

376
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 8: clever you were in looping this in to buyer's remorse.

377
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 8: So I'll give you credit for that. And I am

378
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,119
Speaker 8: glad that the world got to hear this story.

379
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 3: I could have been remorseful about saying JJ spond would

380
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 3: finish outside the top ten. He had as opposed to winning,

381
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 3: but took the to the two.

382
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 8: This drow my old corpse under the rolling bus wheels

383
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 8: the bus go round and round.

384
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,640
Speaker 1: All right, let's uh, let's get you ready for more

Speaker 1: NBA in a second. First, is that it Dan? Do

386
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 1: you have anything I want of your rope? That's it,

387
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 1: all right, let's get back to Dan. Get a quick

390
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 3: According to ESPN, Pacers. Then we'll figure out a plan

391
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 3: for Halliburton. As Game six is on Thursday, Pacers training

392
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,080

Speaker 3: rights to mav A Young to the Pelicans New Orleans.

394
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 3: That's number twenty three overall. Next week, New Orleans is

395
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 3: giving the Pacers back their original first round pick. In

396
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 3: twenty twenty six, Oilers and Panthers eight o'clock Eastern Time,

397
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,800

Speaker 3: to go back to back as Stanley Cup champions. Oilers

399
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,919

404
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 3: back to you.

405
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 1: All right, thanks so much, Doug Gottlieb Show here on

406
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:28,679
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio. Let's get some insight on the NBA

407
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 1: Finals story, the op all the polonies. Fox Sports Radio

408
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 1: NBA analysts spent fifteen years in the league he joined

409
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 1: us on the Doug Gotlieb Show on Fox Sports Radio.

410
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 1: Op thanks for taking time. What's your assessment of Halliburton?

411
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:53,919
Speaker 1: Looks like a strained CAF. I'd head MRI today, not healthy,

412
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 1: insisted on playing. If you're Rick Carlisle, you keep throwing them.

413
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:01,119
Speaker 6: Out there, Well, you gotta have to, I mean, this

414
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,120
Speaker 6: is the finals. But at the same time, you gotta

415
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 6: beware because that same cap could turn into something more serious.

416
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:11,200
Speaker 6: So it's you know, six and one half dozen the others.

417
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,880
Speaker 6: But I thought the way TJ mcconnor was playing last

418
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,639
Speaker 6: night that he said, just kept playing them, you know.

419
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,400
Speaker 6: I mean, that was the wrench that they needed to

420
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:24,160
Speaker 6: throw into that game. And those guys, you know, and

421
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,400
Speaker 6: that's the problem with a lot of a lot of players,

422
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,919
Speaker 6: you know, when the when the lights get bright, sometimes

423
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 6: it backfires, you know. But with ty Reevese, I mean,

424
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:34,679
Speaker 6: he's been stepping up with a lot of games, so

425
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 6: you kind of knew he was hurt. He was definitely

426
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 6: not himself. So it was tough to watch. But you

427
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,879
Speaker 6: know that's part of sports. You know, injuries do happen,

428
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,160
Speaker 6: But you know, we'll have to wait and see.

429
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 1: Now, what are your thoughts on the likelihood that Oklahoma

430
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 1: City can keep this group together and continue to compete

431
00:22:58,560 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 1: for league championships.

432
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 6: It's a great question. I want to say it's likely

433
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 6: and unlikely in the same fact. But again, you know,

434
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:13,360
Speaker 6: my favorite saying, we've seen this before, and so we've

435
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 6: seen this movie before. They had Harden, they had Durant,

436
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,919
Speaker 6: they had Westbrook, they had a Bodker and you know,

437
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 6: went to the finals loss and they were not able

438
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 6: to keep it together for financial reason. It's going to

439
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,680
Speaker 6: come up to the same thing that whole apron first

440
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 6: ape and second Apron thing of the NBA. Now it

441
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 6: makes it very difficult, you know, but you know, we'll see.

442
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,920
Speaker 6: But I think they're gonna have to make some moves

443
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 6: eventually because they can't pay all these guys. You know,

444
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 6: you can't say this guy is a superstar, as he

445
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 6: is superstar right now, so you gotta pay him. You can't,

446
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 6: you know, say Jael and William's superstar because then you

447
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 6: got to pay him. Ched Holman is gonna have to

448
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 6: get paid. So it's just it's gonna come down to

449
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 6: what are they want to do. But again, Oklahoma, see

450
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:57,880
Speaker 6: he's done that, have so many draft picks. They can

451
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 6: just go get some different guys.

452
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:05,160
Speaker 1: The New York Dickson. Again, this is for reports Durant

453
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 1: wants to go there. They're not interested. Why would they

454
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 1: not be interested in.

455
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 6: Kevin Rant the same reason why they fired Thibodeau when

456
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 6: they did the mix uh A side show. I mean,

457
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 6: I was really happy to see them being relevant again

458
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 6: in the NBA. But at the same time, some of

459
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 6: the decisions that they make. I'm not saying that they

460
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 6: shouldn't have fied Thibeau. I think, you know, he's kind

461
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 6: of like, you know, it's tough sometimes watching him, you know,

462
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 6: mismanage the team and everything else. I get all that,

463
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:38,879
Speaker 6: But at the same time, the timing of it was

464
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 6: the problem for me. You know, It's like, you can't

465
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 6: do it right after you lose, you know, especially with

466
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 6: the season they had, you know, start the next year

467
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 6: or something like, oh if I him before. I mean,

468
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 6: It's just it was just weird the timing at all.

469
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 6: And the Knicks have been known to do stuff like that,

470
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 6: so I'm not surprised at all. I mean, why wouldn't

471
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:01,399
Speaker 6: you want Kevin Durant, I'm I'm assumer is probably because

472
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,400
Speaker 6: of that asking Pricet, you know, because I know coll

473
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:07,359
Speaker 6: Anthony Towns is probably odd Man's out right now. But

474
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 6: I don't think they want to give up either Michel

475
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 6: Bridges or og Ananobi. But one of those guys is

476
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 6: gonna have to go in any trade. So we'll see.

477
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 1: Obviously, as you said, you wouldn't have traded you, you

478
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:23,159
Speaker 1: went have fired Tom Thibodeau. They have been able to

479
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 1: get a head coach, yet who should they hire? Who's

480
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:26,680
Speaker 1: who's the best guy for them to hire?

481
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:30,879
Speaker 6: Well, the fact that they went after Jason Kidd tells

482
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 6: you a lot. You know. It's like they were just

483
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 6: you know, we're making this, you know this thing right

484
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:38,479
Speaker 6: now where we fired Thibodeau, so you know, to to

485
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:42,440
Speaker 6: appease a fan base, we had to make a splash.

486
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 6: And but you can't go after people that are already on

487
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 6: the contract. You went after Tibodau, I mean, after Jayson

488
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:51,119
Speaker 6: Kid and Hem, which is insane. And then now all

489
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 6: of a sudden, you you double back to Taylor Jenkins

490
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 6: and Mike Brown. I mean that should have been your

491
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 6: starting two right there. You know this, see, But at

492
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 6: the same time, I don't Taylor Jenkins to me is

493
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 6: probably the only one that makes sense like that. But

494
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 6: the most obvious one is the one that I don't

495
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,919
Speaker 6: know if they're ever gonna get is Mike Malone. To me,

496
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:15,920
Speaker 6: that's the guy that they need. And so if they're

497
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,119
Speaker 6: not willing to do something like that, because if you

498
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 6: rehash Mike Brown, you're gonna have the same issues that

499
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:26,640
Speaker 6: Sacramento Kings had because after a while he wears on players.

500
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,400
Speaker 6: That's the problem.

501
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess my question why not Jevan Gundhi, thank

502
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 1: you somebody.

503
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 6: Like that, But I don't know Van Gundy. Yeah, Ben

504
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 6: Gunnish with the clip is right now, I could see that,

505
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 6: but again bring him back with this kind of talent. Yeah,

506
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 6: that makes some sense. But the word around right now

507
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 6: with a lot of teams that around the nbas if,

508
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 6: some of these guys are not able to make changes,

509
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 6: you know, with the current players, you know, they're stuck

510
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 6: in their way. Perfect example. I mean, I love that

511
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 6: man to death, but Pop a bitch. For all his

512
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:04,879
Speaker 6: greatness and all that, I think he even realized that,

513
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:06,920
Speaker 6: you know what, I think, I'm a little I've grown

514
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,399
Speaker 6: this league and so they got to get you know,

515
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:14,400
Speaker 6: certain times of coaches now that can relate to these guys.

516
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 1: You know, yeah, I agree some of his relating, but

517
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:20,359
Speaker 1: you have to relate while still being able to coach them.

518
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 1: Owen Polinies getting yeah, yeah, it's got to do both.

519
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 1: Like it, just relating doesn't work, just coaching doesn't work.

520
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,199
Speaker 1: Got to be able to do both that works, and

521
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:31,640
Speaker 1: then you have to have one. And it's really hard

522
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:34,400
Speaker 1: to fire Tim Tom Thibodeau because he hasn't won deep

523
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 1: in the playoffs and then not hire somebody who has.

524
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 1: So that's what at least I get about Jason Kidd

525
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 1: and some of the other guys, is at least somebody's

526
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 1: been to the NBA Finals before as a player and

527
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 1: as a coach. Op joins us here on the Doug

528
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 1: Gottlieb Show, what do you do if you're the Lakers?

529
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:54,120
Speaker 1: And I say that because it's really hard to have

530
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 1: more than one guy who's not a strong defender on

531
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 1: the floor at once. There's three best offensive players are

532
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:06,879
Speaker 1: all poor defenders. Luca hadn't played any defense, Lebron doesn't anymore.

533
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 1: And you know, then you have God, what's the why

534
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 1: am I forgetting his name from Wichita State and Oklahoma?

535
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 1: Who's their their third and leading scorer, Austin Reeves. Yeah,

536
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 1: Austin Reeves, what do you do with your Lakers and

537
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:27,199
Speaker 1: that's your three best offensive players?

538
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 6: You telling the West Oklahoma seates Thunder and watch other teams.

539
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 6: I mean, Gills Alexander is the MVP and top score

540
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 6: and everything else. He gets down their play defense scraps.

541
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 6: It's a mindset. You can't keep rewarding people for stupidity,

542
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 6: or you can't keep reporting people for lack of effort.

543
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 6: I'm tired of it. It's ridiculous to me. Yes, these

544
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 6: guys are great players offensively, but playing defensive mindset. You

545
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 6: just have to commit to it. But if you keep

546
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 6: allowing people to or I can't play defense, they're not

547
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 6: good defenders. Of course they're gonna be that way. You know,

548
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 6: take some of that money away from them and see

549
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 6: how much defense they played then. So I don't buy

550
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 6: into all that stuff because the reason I say that

551
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 6: is this, Austin Reason at some point in time played defense.

552
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 6: That's how he got into the NBA. At some point

553
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,720
Speaker 6: in time, Lebron played defense. At some point in time,

554
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 6: Luca played defense. They're just not being consistent with it

555
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 6: because they're relying so much on the offense and the

556
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 6: mindset that all I can do now is offense, and

557
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 6: that's not fair to the game. That's not fair to

558
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 6: the teams, that's not fair to the fans. That's why

559
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 6: they lost because I knew they weren't gonna do well

560
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 6: because everybody kept saying that they're not good defenders, so

561
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 6: they bought into it.

562
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 1: Steven A said earlier today that NBA players don't feel

563
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 1: safe in Memphis. Do you what do you feel about that?

564
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 4: Kind?

565
00:29:56,440 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 6: Oh? I really issues with him any and his commons though,

566
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 6: But it's like another athenine statement by an asenine individual.

567
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 6: It's like ridiculous, How are you gonna make that dumb statement?

568
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 6: You might as well say that about every other city

569
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 6: you go to. That's absurd to me. I mean, there's

570
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 6: never been issues in Memphis, so now, how all of

571
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 6: a sudden that there's a Memphis problem. He's just looking

572
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 6: for clickbait, that's all that is.

573
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 1: Any thought in your mind that Indiana comes back wins

574
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 1: this series.

575
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 6: Yes, I believe it. I mean it's based on this

576
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 6: MRII specifically, but I do believe Indiana's gonna win games

577
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 6: six on Thursday, and it's name Sevens are always a

578
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 6: freetball and so to me, it's going to be fun

579
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 6: to see. And I believe Indiana can win this series.

580
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 6: I mean, they've played well outside of the turnovers and

581
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 6: some of these crazy whistles we get at inopportunity times,

582
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 6: they really played well, played solid, So I'm not surprised,

583
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 6: you know, and it's been really good basketball to watch.

584
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 6: Again outside of the turnover because some of those turnovers

585
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 6: are not unforced either. The unforced ones kill Indiana, but

586
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 6: the ones that the referee is allowed to happen, you know,

587
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:20,479
Speaker 6: guys getting hitting the head and everything else. You know,

588
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 6: that's neither that's you know, that's what I'm really talking about.

589
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 6: But at the same time, they have as good a

590
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 6: shot as any And again, all the pressure has been on,

591
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 6: okay see because they have to win. They're the number

592
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 6: one seed, so they have to win. Adytis has been

593
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 6: playing with free money all year.

594
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 1: OPI, You're the best man. I appreciate you joining us.

595
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 1: Thanks so much for being our guest on Fox Sports Radio.

596
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 6: All right, thank you.

597

Speaker 7: Be sure to catch the live edition of The Doug

598

Speaker 7: Gottlieb Show weekdays at three pm eastern noon Pacific on

599
00:31:53,640 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 7: Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio APPY.

600
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 1: It's the Doug Gottlieb Show, Fox Sports Radio, Jay Stu.

601
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 1: I told you I would give you the floor on

602
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 1: steven A and we discussed it Steve and A doing

603
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 1: playing solitaire and then being defiant and then lying about

604
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 1: saying it was during a break and you thought this

605
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 1: was the worst thing ever, and why.

606
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 4: I definitely didn't think it was the worst thing ever.

607
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 4: I think it's a commentary on today's day and age,

608
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 4: in the age of social media, when people have access

609
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 4: to you and to post about you. Fighting back against

610
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 4: bad optics is a loser's game. It makes you look foolish.

611
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 4: So you either have to eat the bad optics or

612
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 4: you need to acknowledge that you're going to try to

613
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:06,960
Speaker 4: change course. From the very beginning, when he saw that

614
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 4: viral video of somebody showing him playing solitaire in the

615
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 4: middle of a game, he either could have done one

616
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:16,840
Speaker 4: of two things, ignore it or acknowledge it. This is

617
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 4: a bad look, my bad. I get paid twenty million

618
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 4: dollars to talk about a sport that I'm playing solitaire

619
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 4: while watching, as opposed to I get multitask I'm good

620
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 4: at multitasking, and it was a timeout when it wasn't

621
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:34,959
Speaker 4: a timeout. Bad optics are bad optics for a reason,

622
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 4: and the proof is in the putting. As far as

623
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 4: I'm concerned, I consume a lot of Stephen A. Smith.

624
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 4: I watch First Take every day. I watch a lot

625
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 4: of the clips that he does with these political commentators

626
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 4: every night. His bandwidth is completely full, and his work

627
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 4: on the air has declined, it's gotten worse. So your

628
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 4: bad optics are confirmed by your performance.

629
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 1: Fair enough, fair enough with that. Let's get to the press.

630
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:10,400
Speaker 7: The pressin Buyer.

631
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 3: I had no problem with it. Everybody's up in arms.

632
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 1: I really again, I think I think the thing is

633
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:18,400
Speaker 1: Dan again.

634
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 3: I know what the thing is.

635
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:23,840
Speaker 1: No, no, no, I don't I don't have what's me.

636
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:27,719
Speaker 1: I'm on my phone. I'm on my phone constantly. It's

637
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:30,239
Speaker 1: more somebody calls you on it, and then you just

638
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 1: do the loud everybody else's I don't care. I'm blah

639
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah. When we're like, oh oh hey, no,

640
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:45,359
Speaker 1: ability to read the room and the other part Dan

641
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:50,360
Speaker 1: is again, Let's just be totally candid here. He's working

642
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 1: a place everybody knows how much he makes. When you

643
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 1: make that much more than everybody else you work with,

644
00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 1: there are higher expectations of you. And so whether it

645
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 1: is real or and in distraction or it is not,

646
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 1: his response is all part of when you're making twenty

647
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 1: million dollars a year anyway, go ahead.

648
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:13,320
Speaker 3: Sure, but that's not gonna like I mean like ESPN

649
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:18,319
Speaker 3: coming out winners for this. Let's see what stephen A says.

650
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 3: Let's see how Stephen A responds. He's even more.

651
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 1: They are, they are and they aren't though because he is.

652
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:27,640
Speaker 1: For a long time, the NBA didn't want him on

653
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:31,840
Speaker 1: those wrap around shows. Then he gets on those shows,

654
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:34,279
Speaker 1: the show is not particularly good whatever. That's not all

655
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 1: his fault, period, but it hurts your credibility, whether it's

656
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:43,399
Speaker 1: real or not, Like it doesn't actually matter if you're

657
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,720
Speaker 1: playing solitaire like whatever. He's not breaking down game film.

658
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 1: He couldn't tell you what the pistol stuff that exactly.

659
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 1: That's not what he does, not what he does, but

660
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 1: the optics of it, how it looks when you're commentating

661
00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 1: on the when you're commenting on coaches, performance plays, performance,

662
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 1: and you're not paying attention and you're making that much money,

663
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 1: and the ESPN had to talk the NBA and letting

664
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 1: him on that pre post halftime show don't look good.

665
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:13,440
Speaker 4: Go ahead, I'm sorry, Like, think of what you want

666
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:15,400
Speaker 4: about off one out soon. I know Buyer's got some

667
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 4: issues with that publication, so do I for their editorial

668
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 4: choices sometimes, but I do want to give them credit

669
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 4: for this headline, or maybe it was the subheadline. We

670
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 4: should not have to suffer through Steven A's boredom with

671
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 4: the NBA. That's the optics. You don't care about this

672
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 4: sport that you're paid to cover.

673
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:37,880
Speaker 1: Well, that's the other part too. It is the NBA

674
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 1: does have a perception of being hard to watch, and

675
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 1: then when the guy who makes his living commenting on

676
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:46,800
Speaker 1: the NBA is not pulling pull attention, it doesn't exactly

677
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 1: help anyway.

678
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 3: Sorry, Dan, that's okay. I and I talked a little

679
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 3: bit about this on the Sunday show that it did

680
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:56,400
Speaker 3: with Mike Carmen. You can catch the podcast for that

681

Speaker 3: at Fox Sports Radio dot com. There's my plug. Fifteenth.

00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:07,759
Speaker 3: be revealing their brand new alternate uniforms. There have been

684
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 3: hints it may be back to the dark Navy Dan

685
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:18,320
Speaker 3: Fouts era mid to late eighties, not like the Royal

686
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 3: blue of Fouts, but then more into the Stan Humphreys,

687
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:24,360
Speaker 3: you know, Super Bowl Run, like that sort of Navy blue,

688
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:27,120

689
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 3: to be a new alternate. But it will fully be

690

Speaker 3: unveiled July fifteenth. A teaser video of it was released

691
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:35,880
Speaker 3: today by the Chargers social media accounts.

692
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:39,799
Speaker 1: Let's create some other uniforms that are clearly not as

693
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 1: good as they're all whites or they're powder blues by

694

Speaker 1: all means.

695
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:45,360
