Let's talk about 0:02:51.680 --> 0:02:55.120 the NBA lead in Cleveland Cavaliers, who won their fourteenth 0:02:55.160 --> 0:02:58.720 consecutive game on the road tonight. They beat the Milwaukee 0:02:58.720 --> 0:03:01.720 Bucks one twelve to one hundred. The cav just became 0:03:01.760 --> 0:03:04.560 the second team to win fourteenth straight games while scoring 0:03:04.639 --> 0:03:07.080 at least one hundred and ten points in each of 0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:10.840 those games. The only time that's ever happened. Nineteen eighty six, 0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:16.119 the Boston Celtics won the title. Max Struce had seventeen 0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:18.760 points to lead a ballot scoring attack. They had their 0:03:18.800 --> 0:03:22.600 five starters were in double figures. Excuse me, they got 0:03:22.880 --> 0:03:26.040 thirty eight points from their bench, nine of their nineteen 0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:29.600 May threes from their bench, and they pull away late 0:03:29.639 --> 0:03:32.960 and they defeat the Milwaukee Bucks one twelve to one hundred, 0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:36.200 And it just goes to show you just how good 0:03:36.200 --> 0:03:39.320 this team is. Because we know Donovan Michigan can go off. 0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:41.560 We've seen him score seventy, we've seen him have fifty. 0:03:42.160 --> 0:03:45.080 But when you have a team Evid Mowley, Jared Allen, 0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:50.560 Daris Garland, Struce, you got Tid Jerome, one hundred Merrill, 0:03:50.840 --> 0:03:53.360 they really have a really deep team. This is gonna 0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:55.600 be a look. I still believe it's gonna come down 0:03:55.600 --> 0:03:57.800 to them at the Boston Celtics. The Boston Celtics, they 0:03:57.800 --> 0:04:01.240 beat the Lakers last night. They look really good because 0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:03.320 you have a guy in Jason Tatum who's going to 0:04:03.360 --> 0:04:05.800 be first team All the NBA again this year. You 0:04:05.920 --> 0:04:09.480 have JB Jalen Brown who's going to be probably second 0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:11.600 or third team All NBA this year. 0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:13.800 Dal Horford played really good last night. 0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:16.200 You got guys that can make shots, Derrick White, you 0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:21.000 got really good premimeter defenders and Holliday and Derrick White, 0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:25.039 and then you got a bitch man, Peyton Pritchard is 0:04:25.160 --> 0:04:27.440 unbelievable off the bench. He should be in the runner 0:04:27.440 --> 0:04:29.400 for sixth Man of the Year. But tonight was all 0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:32.360 about the Cavaliers. They moved to a record of fifty 0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:35.080 four and ten. The Bucks dropped the thirty six and 0:04:35.120 --> 0:04:36.040 twenty seven. 0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:39.400 The Calves. Oh Joe, what do you like about the Cavs? 0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:41.880 I mean, listen what they can do in their totality 0:04:41.920 --> 0:04:44.320 as a team. You just said it. I thought, obviously, 0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:46.200 when it's coming into the season, who would be the 0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:49.120 biggest play for the Celtics coming off an NBA championship? 0:04:49.320 --> 0:04:51.719 To me, I thought it would be the Bucks, I thought, 0:04:51.760 --> 0:04:54.120 he said, Dame and Giannis and that combination of what 0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:56.680 they had, similar to how Luke and Lebron. I mean 0:04:56.800 --> 0:05:00.240 Luke and Lebron teamed up. But before Luke even got there, 0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:02.599 I say, you know what the biggest threat for the 0:05:02.640 --> 0:05:05.680 Celtics would be would be the buff But watching the 0:05:05.680 --> 0:05:09.080 way the Cavs play as a team, you know, obviously 0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:13.839 led by by Garland and Donovan Mitchell, the supporting cast, 0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:15.839 the bench, everyone is scoring. Look how many Look how 0:05:15.839 --> 0:05:18.080 many players were in double figures at night? When you 0:05:18.160 --> 0:05:21.040 have all five started, Yeah, all five started. When everybody's 0:05:21.040 --> 0:05:24.560 playing that complete and nobody is off. It makes it 0:05:24.600 --> 0:05:26.880 that much much, that much more difficult for them to 0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:29.480 be beat. And I wouldn't be surprised. Hell, a lot 0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:32.240 of people shouldn't be surprised, but I mean most people 0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:33.320 will call me a casual. 0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:36.040 You know, those are the actual NBA fans. 0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:39.560 Won't be surprised if they do unseat the Celtics as 0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:40.840 the NBA champions this year. 0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:43.039 Yeah, I think it's going to I think it'll be 0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:45.480 a deep series that's going six or at least seven. 0:05:45.800 --> 0:05:47.960 I thought the Knicks would be there also because the 0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:51.080 addition of Karl Anthony Towns. I like that addition better 0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:53.359 with the Knicks more so than I like than I 0:05:53.480 --> 0:05:54.560 like Julius Randall. 0:05:55.000 --> 0:05:58.080 What's up time out the Knicks? You really put them 0:05:58.120 --> 0:05:59.240 in in that running. 0:05:59.240 --> 0:05:59.800 No, I said. 0:05:59.839 --> 0:06:02.919 I thought coming into the season with the addition of 0:06:03.000 --> 0:06:05.960 Karl Anthony Towns with Jaylen Brunce, to look at what 0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:06.960 they did last year. 0:06:07.040 --> 0:06:08.479 They're only two headed months agough. 0:06:09.480 --> 0:06:11.919 I we talk about scoring scorer that's able to actually 0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:13.359 score and put the ball on the floor and just 0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:14.120 score at will. 0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:17.480 It's only Jayleen Brumpton and in Condy. 0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:18.920 But look look at what they got. 0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:23.159 They got Alonobe, they got Michael Bridges, they got Josh Hart. 0:06:23.720 --> 0:06:27.000 Mitchell Robinson hurt, you know him going out because now 0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:29.080 you're you know, casts playing spending a lot of time 0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:31.040 at the five, and he probably he likes playing at 0:06:31.040 --> 0:06:33.680 the four. So if you had Mitchell Robinson and Cat 0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:37.760 sometimes and they got Princess Precious secure, uh. 0:06:37.600 --> 0:06:39.800 They got they got a deep team. They do. 0:06:40.040 --> 0:06:42.520 And I thought, considering they're gonna be healthy because you 0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:45.799 got a guy in Cat that can dominate. Jaylen Brunson, 0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:48.839 we know he can dominate, Bridges can give you quality 0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:52.400 points and Mixed he's Uh, they got great defense. Boji 0:06:52.600 --> 0:06:57.960 can defend, Josh Hart can defend Michael Bridges. He doesn't 0:06:58.000 --> 0:06:59.480 miss games. He can defend. 0:06:59.760 --> 0:07:01.159 So they had it all. 0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:04.279 I thought Cleveland would be there, but I didn't see 0:07:04.279 --> 0:07:05.080 fifty four and ten. 0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:07.880 Now did I think there will be a top three team? Absolutely? 0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:11.000 You probably thought Philly would be there also with Joellen 0:07:11.040 --> 0:07:14.720 b Paul George t Easpaxy. You probably thought those guys 0:07:14.720 --> 0:07:18.040 would be there, but injuries you maybe fi Mi, but 0:07:18.160 --> 0:07:20.360 Jimmy Butler, you know, he got nicked and then he 0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:24.400 was unhappy and they moved him. So right now, looking 0:07:24.440 --> 0:07:26.840 at the east its head, it's a two headed monster. 0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:30.080 It's the Cavaliers and the Celtics. It looks like the 0:07:30.160 --> 0:07:33.000 Cavs are gonna have home court, but Boston have one 0:07:33.040 --> 0:07:36.520 of the better road records in the NBA, so it's 0:07:36.520 --> 0:07:40.440 not gonna be easy. Do I believe the Cavaliers can 0:07:40.520 --> 0:07:43.440 have this kind of battle score and win. Now, somebody, 0:07:43.480 --> 0:07:46.320 one of those two guys, Garland or Mitchell is gonna 0:07:46.360 --> 0:07:49.200 probably need to be twenty five thirty and then everybody 0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:52.760 else chip in. But I don't think because with JB 0:07:52.880 --> 0:07:55.600 and JT teaming up for last night, they went for 0:07:55.680 --> 0:07:58.720 seventy and probably on average they're gonna go for anywhere 0:07:58.760 --> 0:08:01.720 between fifty and sixty on a given night. The probably 0:08:01.720 --> 0:08:03.720 need a little bit more from your big guns. But 0:08:04.120 --> 0:08:06.280 the Cavaliers look really good. And when you have a 0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:08.640 balanced team and your bench comes in, they give you 0:08:08.680 --> 0:08:10.720 thirty eight points on the road, they give you nine 0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:12.920 of the nineteen threes that you made on the road. 0:08:13.120 --> 0:08:15.120 And they got shoot. They got great outside. Wade was 0:08:15.160 --> 0:08:17.560 three or three from the three point line. Hunter did 0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:20.520 not shoot the ball particularly well last night, but he's 0:08:20.560 --> 0:08:22.760 in the running for sixth Man of the Year tied. 0:08:22.840 --> 0:08:25.880 Jerome can shoot it, Marrill can shoot it. They're gonna 0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:27.720 be a tough FOUTO Joe. They're gonna be a tough out. 0:08:27.720 --> 0:08:30.640 But the Celtics, man, they deep. They come in with 0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:34.400 that second unit and they they picked right up. It's 0:08:34.480 --> 0:08:36.400 kind of reminds you of like what the calv Nuts, 0:08:36.520 --> 0:08:39.600 excuse me, what the Warriors used to be. Remember they 0:08:39.600 --> 0:08:42.280 bring their second uniton in with Livingston and all those guys, 0:08:42.559 --> 0:08:44.080 and if it was like a three to four point 0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:47.880 lead with a time Clay and Steph and Draymond came back, 0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:50.800 it was a ten or eleven point lead, or if 0:08:50.840 --> 0:08:54.160 they were behind they came back, the game was tied. 0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:57.360 So I see a lot of this from the from 0:08:57.440 --> 0:08:59.800 the Cavaliers. Also, I like their bench. I like their 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:02.640 up Uh, their starters are really good. Evid Molders a 0:09:02.720 --> 0:09:05.160 defender who's gotten better offensive. And you know what Jared 0:09:05.160 --> 0:09:07.160 you're gonna get from Jared Allen. You don't have to 0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:09.160 run plays for him. And he could rebound, he could 0:09:09.160 --> 0:09:11.360 score the basketball a lot of lives. You go get 0:09:11.360 --> 0:09:14.640 a lot of his points off the glass, rebounding, rolling 0:09:14.679 --> 0:09:17.640 to the Rim, but it's gonna be led by that 0:09:17.679 --> 0:09:20.200 three headed monster, Garland, Mitchell and Bodley, and if they 0:09:20.280 --> 0:09:22.440 keep playing the way they playing, I like them. I 0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:24.400 think I still believe it's gonna come down to them 0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:26.640 and the Celtics and the Eastern Conference finals. 0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:29.320 But uh, you know, it's gonna be a good matchup. 0:09:29.559 --> 0:09:31.320 It's good. That's probably what's gonna come down to. 0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:33.800 It ain't probably, That's probably what it's going to come 0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:36.640 down to, long as there are no injuries, which I 0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:38.640 doubt that's gonna happen with it not that much time, 0:09:38.760 --> 0:09:41.480 but it must not that much season left into the 0:09:41.520 --> 0:09:46.760 regular season. So listen, I'm excited. I mean, I'm excited. 0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:49.000 I'm excited for the Calves. Bro I'm excited for the Calves, 0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:52.520 especially what they've been through, especially once Lebron left and 0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:54.839 and how how far they had to come to get 0:09:54.840 --> 0:09:58.200 to this point where they are now without even without 0:09:58.320 --> 0:09:59.559 King James there. 0:09:59.760 --> 0:10:03.480 They legit have a shot. Then it just what happened. 0:10:03.960 --> 0:10:06.680 It was a situation where where Donald Mitchell wasn't happy 0:10:06.679 --> 0:10:08.800 and he has to be traded. That was the only 0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:14.920 way you gotta get a superstar. Yeah, superstar leaves you 0:10:15.120 --> 0:10:17.520 have to replace him. Yeah, but that's that's not only 0:10:17.760 --> 0:10:19.360 that's not the only answer. Not only do you have 0:10:19.400 --> 0:10:20.720 to have a superstar, but you have to have that 0:10:20.720 --> 0:10:21.480 supporting cast. 0:10:21.559 --> 0:10:24.360 Hell yeah, Batman, and you ain't gonna have no success 0:10:24.440 --> 0:10:25.439 unless you got your Robin. 0:10:26.280 --> 0:10:31.040 But here's what happened. Think about it. They they Lebron 0:10:31.200 --> 0:10:34.800 leaves and that means you lose. And now you're drafting high. 0:10:34.960 --> 0:10:37.640 You're getting a Darius Garland, You're getting to Evan Mobley, 0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:40.280 you getting guys like that. You make a trade for 0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:43.480 Jared Allen. Yeah, now see now, and all of a sudden, 0:10:43.480 --> 0:10:45.560 like hey man, I kind of like it over there, 0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:48.520 Donald Mitchell said, and boom. So now you got Garland, 0:10:48.520 --> 0:10:50.640 a draft pick, you got Avin Mobley was a top 0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:53.280 five pick. You got a Jared Allen who can rebound 0:10:53.360 --> 0:10:55.480 and defend the paint. You don't have to roll plate 0:10:55.600 --> 0:10:57.960 run plays for him, and he can get your double double. 0:10:58.600 --> 0:11:01.200 And you got a bona fide super starting Donovan Mitchell, 0:11:01.280 --> 0:11:04.640 who's an All NBA, a perennial All Star. Now you 0:11:04.720 --> 0:11:07.559 got your team. Now let's build it out. Now, let's 0:11:07.600 --> 0:11:10.559 get us some depth. We make the trade for DeAndre Hunter. 0:11:11.720 --> 0:11:13.880 We get you know, we got tied Jerome and we 0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:16.840 got you moved strousontil the start off be good. 0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:19.000 I mean sometimes you have to have a little luck. 0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:20.600 You have to have a little lucky. 0:11:20.640 --> 0:11:23.600 You get lucky, you got draft compensation on Joe that 0:11:23.679 --> 0:11:26.080 you can shift some of the pizza pieces out because 0:11:26.120 --> 0:11:29.040 you gave up Colin Sexton, who is a high draft pick. 0:11:29.120 --> 0:11:30.760 You give him up, you gave him an other couple 0:11:30.800 --> 0:11:33.200 of draft picks, and you get Donovan Mitchell. 0:11:33.920 --> 0:11:35.160 I like what you just said. 0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:38.000 The keyword you just said there obviously drafting right, but 0:11:38.040 --> 0:11:40.920 also luck as well, because you already had high draft picks. 0:11:41.040 --> 0:11:42.959 You had picks that came in that were high draft 0:11:42.960 --> 0:11:45.240 picks that you had to let go, and you got 0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:45.720 the others. 0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:48.520 They were able to feel those spots and fill those voids. 0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:51.960 But the team they have now, they've and the players 0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:54.880 they've acquired all played well collectively. And I think that's 0:11:54.920 --> 0:11:56.200 the hard thing to do because you look at some 0:11:56.240 --> 0:11:58.120 of the big some of the Top three, I call 0:11:58.160 --> 0:11:59.959 them the Big three. Some of the Big three face 0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:02.720 is that we thought would be in the playoffs or 0:12:02.760 --> 0:12:08.640 playing well. I love Paul, George, Max Max. Indeed, even 0:12:08.720 --> 0:12:12.480 just those three together. Forget the injuries part. They still don't. 0:12:12.600 --> 0:12:14.400 They still haven't lived up to what we thought they 0:12:14.440 --> 0:12:14.760 would be. 0:12:16.000 --> 0:12:19.040 Well that that's because Joel and Bid I mean started 0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:22.520 the season banged up. Paul George started the season banged up, 0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:25.439 and he hasn't been able to find his rhythm. Tyree's 0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:28.160 Max is playing extremely well. He's averaging twenty five, twenty six, 0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:30.920 maybe even twenty seven points a game. So he's doing 0:12:31.200 --> 0:12:32.960 what you thought he would do and what you would 0:12:32.960 --> 0:12:35.559 hope he would do. It was you missing Joel and 0:12:35.640 --> 0:12:38.520 Bid somewhere between twenty eight and thirty two points. You 0:12:38.600 --> 0:12:41.720 missing Paul George somewhere between nineteen and twenty two points, 0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:45.240 So you factor that in. Now you're getting eighty points. Now, 0:12:45.280 --> 0:12:47.120 can we get the bitch to give us thirty five? 0:12:47.720 --> 0:12:48.320 A leeve? 0:12:48.440 --> 0:12:53.000 Man? So when in a situation like that, I mean, 0:12:54.400 --> 0:12:58.880 probably something we put the show foreseen, considering Joel and 0:12:58.960 --> 0:13:01.040 bed lift out of the lymphed out of the season, 0:13:02.200 --> 0:13:04.200 and as soon as the season was over two months later, 0:13:04.240 --> 0:13:06.600 he's going to be Olympic team. The US national men's 0:13:06.600 --> 0:13:09.960 team didn't take the rest, didn't get what we get. 0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:13.120 He didn't get fixed. Probably what he needed to get fixed. 0:13:13.520 --> 0:13:16.160 So guess what he limped into the season and guess 0:13:16.200 --> 0:13:18.520 what he's doing now, O Joe limping out of the season. 0:13:18.920 --> 0:13:20.559 Yeah, he asked a question. 0:13:21.040 --> 0:13:24.920 Yes, be honest, be honest, even if you had the injury, 0:13:24.960 --> 0:13:27.280 if you and joeln b with an opportunity to represent 0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:30.280 your country at the Olympics, knowing that it comes around 0:13:30.400 --> 0:13:34.199 every every four years, what would you have. 0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:37.360 Done if my obligations to the seventy six ers seventy 0:13:37.400 --> 0:13:39.200 six has got five years, a two hundred and forty 0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:42.160 million dollars on the table, how much you make? I 0:13:42.240 --> 0:13:44.760 get it, and I get it because the America he's 0:13:44.760 --> 0:13:47.199 from Cameroon in America has given him everything and more 0:13:47.240 --> 0:13:49.000 he could have asked for now a lot of that 0:13:49.040 --> 0:13:51.440 haster luck. He came here, just the land of opportunity. 0:13:51.679 --> 0:13:54.400 Jolan Beiid had a talent. God blessed him. He at 0:13:54.440 --> 0:13:57.720 the genetic lottery. He's something but tall, he's extremely skilled 0:13:58.200 --> 0:14:01.560 and boove. He parlayed that. But O Choe, Yes, sir, 0:14:02.240 --> 0:14:07.000 your obligation Philly, Yes, it made you gave you generational wealth. 0:14:07.200 --> 0:14:11.240 Not to the United States national men's team, not that, 0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:13.880 and the gold medal. Don't get me wrong. You're representing 0:14:13.880 --> 0:14:18.839 your country, right, But bro, you were injured, you lift 0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:23.680 out of the season right, healthy, right, and then say 0:14:23.720 --> 0:14:26.480 you know what a twenty eight boom your boy here? 0:14:27.080 --> 0:14:31.800 M hm, Noah, I know absolutely not. I need I 0:14:31.960 --> 0:14:36.760 for me, oh the most important thing. That's why a 0:14:36.800 --> 0:14:38.480 lot of times, man, when I was in a contract year, Man, 0:14:38.520 --> 0:14:39.720 I ain't trying to go to no Pro Bowl. I 0:14:39.720 --> 0:14:42.440 ain't trying to get up out there, O Joe, just 0:14:42.480 --> 0:14:48.120 right to get that. Yeah, they please, right right right, 0:14:49.000 --> 0:14:51.320 like I said, I get Look, maybe it was the 0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:51.920 Swan song. 0:14:51.960 --> 0:14:53.840 Wanted to get opportunity because Lebron is not going to 0:14:53.880 --> 0:14:55.360 be there in twenty eight. Step probably not going to 0:14:55.440 --> 0:14:56.160 be there in twenty eight. 0:14:56.400 --> 0:14:58.680 Katie saying, look, if I'm still hooping to the level 0:14:59.040 --> 0:15:01.080 and I'm able, Hey, I like to play twenty and 0:15:01.080 --> 0:15:03.560 I like to go for five gold medals, he asked, 0:15:03.560 --> 0:15:06.360 the most he has four, and but Kate says, hey, yeah, 0:15:06.360 --> 0:15:07.880 I would like to go. I would like to try to, 0:15:07.960 --> 0:15:10.840 you know, run it back on home soil. And maybe 0:15:10.880 --> 0:15:13.560 Jordan that was something joy. But for me, I'm always 0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:16.200 gonna I'm always gonna be in a situation where I 0:15:16.240 --> 0:15:20.200 look at who's paying me. That's where my obligation lies, 0:15:21.640 --> 0:15:32.480 is that who's paying me. So that's just me. At 0:15:32.480 --> 0:15:36.400 the end of the day, he did what he wanted 0:15:36.440 --> 0:15:38.080 to do. He did was in the best interest of them. 0:15:38.120 --> 0:15:41.400 And I look, they was looking at France and Winby 0:15:41.480 --> 0:15:47.320 and that was Soulet and you got Yannis and you 0:15:47.480 --> 0:15:51.680 got Yoke, So you knew probably you're gonna run in, 0:15:51.760 --> 0:15:54.560 You're gonna run into those guys, and you needed somebody 0:15:54.600 --> 0:15:57.040 to deal with Yoke. You needed somebody that to be 0:15:57.040 --> 0:15:59.080 able to, you know, to handle the bigs and for 0:15:59.240 --> 0:16:02.720 other countries. Even though he would I get all that, 0:16:03.120 --> 0:16:05.000 I honestly do, I really do. I don't want people 0:16:05.000 --> 0:16:09.560 to think I'm not empathetic and understanding. But a team 0:16:09.760 --> 0:16:16.520 invested five years at two hundred and forty million. They 0:16:16.600 --> 0:16:18.200 just gave him a three year oh shoe, they gave 0:16:18.240 --> 0:16:20.880 him a three year extension for one hundred and ninety 0:16:20.920 --> 0:16:21.880 three million dollars. 0:16:22.160 --> 0:16:24.520 Yeah, I understand. 0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:26.560 But you know, honestly, if you ask, if you ask 0:16:26.600 --> 0:16:30.200 people especially that would be in his position, is what 0:16:30.240 --> 0:16:30.800 they would do. 0:16:31.080 --> 0:16:31.600 If you ask one. 0:16:31.560 --> 0:16:33.720 Hundred people, you get a hundred different answers on That's 0:16:33.760 --> 0:16:35.280 that's why I was curious to what you would say, 0:16:35.600 --> 0:16:37.840 and I'm curious to the chat. I mean, obviously putting 0:16:37.840 --> 0:16:40.560 yourself in his shoes in his situation, with the opportunity 0:16:40.560 --> 0:16:44.840 to represent you know, obviously the USA. It's just everybody's 0:16:44.880 --> 0:16:46.840 answer would be different. But I understand you know where 0:16:46.880 --> 0:16:47.520 you're coming from. 0:16:47.680 --> 0:16:48.560 You know what I think it is. 0:16:48.560 --> 0:16:51.160 Oho is my mentality that I play football, that my 0:16:51.200 --> 0:16:53.920 money isn't guaranteed. See he did that because he knows 0:16:53.920 --> 0:16:56.040 his money is guaranteed, so it doesn't matter. 0:16:56.560 --> 0:16:57.560 It changes that everything. 0:16:57.800 --> 0:17:01.800 Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's it's kind of like a salary worker. 0:17:02.280 --> 0:17:05.240 They take PTO. Well, if you're not a salary worker 0:17:05.280 --> 0:17:06.840 and you only get paid if you show your black 0:17:06.880 --> 0:17:10.560 ass up to work, that changes thing. Trust me, I 0:17:10.600 --> 0:17:13.159 had manual jobs that I only got paid if I 0:17:13.200 --> 0:17:15.640 showed up to work. It's a whole different ball game. 0:17:15.680 --> 0:17:18.040 If you salaried. And you know what I'm saying, A 0:17:19.600 --> 0:17:22.320 when you salary, you know in a situation where you salary, Hell, 0:17:22.359 --> 0:17:26.720 I take CTO choice time off. I'm choosing not to 0:17:26.760 --> 0:17:30.320 come in today because I will getting my check. Well, 0:17:30.359 --> 0:17:32.440 when you work at manual jobs or you work in 0:17:32.480 --> 0:17:38.640 an hourly job, right, NBA, that's guaranteed money. MLB that's 0:17:38.680 --> 0:17:43.879 guaranteed money. NHL that's guaranteed money. NFL that's not guaranteed money. 0:17:44.000 --> 0:17:46.679 So maybe that's what's clouding my judgment, O Joe. Now, 0:17:46.720 --> 0:17:48.920 don't get me wrong. I think a gold medal is 0:17:49.480 --> 0:17:56.480 very important. I mean, hey, representing your country and for 0:17:57.480 --> 0:18:01.120 maybe an event, maybe a week, maybe two weeks, we're one. 0:18:01.880 --> 0:18:03.680 It's us against them. 0:18:03.960 --> 0:18:05.760 I don't care if the if it's a if it's 0:18:05.840 --> 0:18:08.639 a European country, I don't care, if it's an African country, 0:18:08.680 --> 0:18:09.320 it doesn't matter. 0:18:09.800 --> 0:18:10.480 We're USA. 0:18:10.800 --> 0:18:12.720 We started this drive with the red, white and blue, 0:18:12.880 --> 0:18:14.520 and we'll get everybody else. 0:18:14.880 --> 0:18:17.720 Yeah, okay, But. 0:18:17.800 --> 0:18:20.320 Like I said, I think it's my I think it's 0:18:20.320 --> 0:18:22.760 my you know, be in the NFL, like man, I 0:18:22.880 --> 0:18:27.000 fee the mess about buddy, right right. Mark Cuban breaks 0:18:27.000 --> 0:18:29.600 the silence on the Luca trade. Let's take a listen 0:18:29.600 --> 0:18:31.680 to his comments on the Luca trade, Ojo. 0:18:31.480 --> 0:18:33.800 When was your son upset about the trade? 0:18:34.320 --> 0:18:37.680 Yeah? I mean were you yeah? Of course? Yeah, yeah, 0:18:37.720 --> 0:18:38.119 of course. 0:18:39.440 --> 0:18:40.399 And I've said this before. 0:18:42.040 --> 0:18:44.480 If you're you know, if the MAVs are going to 0:18:44.520 --> 0:18:45.960 trade Luca, that's one thing. 0:18:46.359 --> 0:18:47.160 Just get a better deal. 0:18:47.520 --> 0:18:50.879 You know, no, no disrespect to Anthony Davis, but you know, 0:18:51.000 --> 0:18:54.000 get three. If I still believe if we had gotten 0:18:54.320 --> 0:18:57.800 four unprotected number ones and Anthony Davis and Max Christy, 0:18:58.000 --> 0:18:59.200 this would be a different conversation. 0:18:59.720 --> 0:19:03.560 M hm they agreed more? Yeah, I agree? 0:19:03.600 --> 0:19:05.119 But what more can you do? 0:19:05.280 --> 0:19:10.960 Uh? What you do? Oh Joe? Think about this. 0:19:12.720 --> 0:19:16.960 The Timberwolves gave up four un protected picks and pick 0:19:17.000 --> 0:19:18.600 swaps for Rudy Gobert. 0:19:20.040 --> 0:19:22.080 Would you rather have Rudy Gobert and Luka Doncic. 0:19:23.200 --> 0:19:24.240
