Speaker 1: For the first time since Ben Simmons was traded, Joel
Speaker 1: Embiid and the Sixers got to face off against a
Speaker 1: healthy Ben Simmons and a somewhat healthy Nets team no
Speaker 1: KD and as you might expect, as you might be predicting,
Speaker 1: shit did get testy. Yes it did. It got testy
Speaker 1: so fast in what turned out to be a really
Speaker 1: good game. Actually, even though the Sixers went up big
Speaker 1: at first, tons of hard fouls, borderline cheap shots, Sixers
Speaker 1: blow a twenty two point lead at one point, Nets
Speaker 1: come roaring back. Nick Claxton was awesome, Kyrie was really good.
Speaker 1: Even Ben Simmons hit some really big shots down the stretch.
Speaker 1: Game ended one thirty seven thirty three with the Sixers
Speaker 1: actually getting the dub. But here's the thing. The game
Speaker 1: had forty five fouls, seven technicals, six on players and
Speaker 1: a seventh on a delay of game penalty that led
Speaker 1: to sixty three free throws. If you are one of
Speaker 1: those people in your rocking chairs and you're praying and
Speaker 1: hoping for throwback basketball, that was it, folks. You got it.
Speaker 1: It was physical, it was nasty, it was feisty, and
Speaker 1: Ben and Joel I think it is clear now despite
Speaker 1: what they say, because they do tell us that, oh
Speaker 1: we didn't like we were friends, but we didn't have
Speaker 1: any problems with they. No, they don't like each other.
Speaker 1: That is big facts. They have a full blown rivalry
Speaker 1: now on our hands and me put me personally, Oh
Speaker 1: I love it. I could not get enough of it.
Speaker 1: When asked about the rivalry during the game, Joel Embiid,
Speaker 1: as per usual, did not disappoint. He said when asked
Speaker 1: what he felt playing against his old teammates, I felt nothing.
Speaker 1: Just like every single night, I'm trying to just fucking
Speaker 1: kill whoever is in front of me. My mentality is
Speaker 1: always about scoring. If I get doubled, make the right pass.
Speaker 1: If I get played one on one, or I see
Speaker 1: an opportunity to go score, I am going to go score.
Speaker 1: I don't know that I've ever heard Joel Embiid say
Speaker 1: he wanted to fucking kill someone on a court. Uh
Speaker 1: so this feels not the same as normal matchups. Go
Speaker 1: kill whoever you want, Joelle, but just just know that
Speaker 1: that's not the same energy that you bring every single night.
Speaker 1: So he posts up on Ben three times, he missed
Speaker 1: the shot once he got fouled a second time he
Speaker 1: got stripped a third. But there was some extra beef
Speaker 1: going on between the teams. Joelle had more aggression, more power,
Speaker 1: more something against Ben, and at one point Embiid took
Speaker 1: a full run down the paint. Ben Simmons made a
Speaker 1: business decision to step aside and Joel Embiid dunk the ball,
Speaker 1: hammered it home, hung on the rim an extra second.
Speaker 1: Then he twisted around and stared down Ben Simmons. Wow,
Speaker 1: that's incredible. He then shift Ben in the back early
Speaker 1: in the game as well. So the things that are
Speaker 1: happening between Brooklyn and Philadelphia, they are real. This is
Speaker 1: a new beef that is going to happen and continue
Speaker 1: as long as Harden and Embiid or on the sixers,
Speaker 1: and as long as Kyrie and Ben Simmons are on
Speaker 1: the nets. It is real. Harden does not like Kyrie.
Speaker 1: We know that he wanted out of Brooklyn because of Kyrie.
Speaker 1: Kyrie does not like Harden. They were going at each
Speaker 1: other in practice on one Lots of nastiness going on
Speaker 1: between the two. Embiid and Simmons. We know they very
Speaker 1: much didn't like each other as teammates, and now the
Speaker 1: two teams are battling for the position, and the playoffs
Speaker 1: are battling for the top four. They're battling for a
Speaker 1: playoff series. And I hope they see one another in
Speaker 1: the playoffs, don't you watching Ben and Joel Embiid square
Speaker 1: up seven times a Ben Simmons revenge spot. That's the
Speaker 1: kind of NBA we need. That's the kind of NBA
Speaker 1: I am looking for. Moving on, I don't know if
Speaker 1: you've heard about this, because it's relatively new. There's this
Speaker 1: there's this new technology called chat GPT. It's AI. You
Speaker 1: can get it to do anything for you. You can
Speaker 1: get it to write papers for you, you can get it
Speaker 1: to write a script for you. You can get it to
Speaker 1: make arguments about why the are actually the heroes and movies.
Speaker 1: There's all kinds of tiktoks being made about it. It's
Speaker 1: blowing my mind. But what I know about chat GBT,
Speaker 1: based on what I have heard, is they very clearly
Speaker 1: it infiltrated the NBA two nights ago. That is true.
Speaker 1: How do you know? Because they're not sentient beings, right,
Speaker 1: these AI creatures, these robots, and you know when you
Speaker 1: come across someone who's not a robot. You know what's
Speaker 1: human and what's not human. We speak a certain way, right,
Speaker 1: and when you see and hear this, you will know
Speaker 1: that this is not a normal interaction between reporter and player.
Speaker 1: So Russell Westbrook was asked some questions after a very
Speaker 1: disappointing loss. Turn the ball over late, everyone's giving them
Speaker 1: a hard time. They played the Clippers, they lost by
Speaker 1: fifteen or so, and then this young woman that we
Speaker 1: did not get to see her face did this.
Speaker 2: First of all, congrats, congrats on making the twenty four
Speaker 2: thousand points much Yeah, tonight, you use impressive dribbling skills
Speaker 2: to successfully fake out your opponents multiple times. And in
Speaker 2: the second quarter you made a jump shot where your
Speaker 2: body was turned like one hundred and eighty degrees away
Speaker 2: from the basket. It was just an amazing shot. You're
Speaker 2: always making these spectacular moves with just within a split second.
Speaker 2: Do you anticipate doing them or is it just a
Speaker 2: second nature to you? Like do you just not even
Speaker 2: have to think about it?
Speaker 1: Paul's his answer does not matter. That's not a person
Speaker 1: that's either. Okay, So it could be a person that
Speaker 1: chat GBT wrote that script for her, But this is
Speaker 1: a plant. This is a thousand percent a plant. There's
Speaker 1: two explanations, right, So she's a plant is the first one.
Speaker 1: Doesn't this seem rehearsed? Is she a friend? Do they
Speaker 1: know each other? He was ready, he was smiling. Impressive
Speaker 1: dribbling skills to successfully fake out your opponent. Those words
Speaker 1: have may have never been strung together ever in life before.
Speaker 1: That is a gentle question that only an NBA TNT
Speaker 1: Kids reporter would ask, or somebody that you're just friends with.
Speaker 1: It's like when Kristin Lemlow gets Lebron James for an interview. Oh, today, Lebron,
Speaker 1: you were wearing your Lebron twenties and it looked like
Speaker 1: you were extra explosive and successfully faking out your opponent.
Speaker 1: On the other hand, though, the other potential explanation is
Speaker 1: this chat GBT idea getting more and more sentient by
Speaker 1: the moment, I robot style infiltrating the Lakers pressers, because
Speaker 1: this sounds exactly like the question that you would have
Speaker 1: when you input or have data, and that's what it
Speaker 1: spits out. Hey, help me ask Russ a question that
Speaker 1: would make him happy and in a good mood. And
Speaker 1: that's the kind of question that chat GBT would spit
Speaker 1: out probably one of the craziest exchanges I've ever seen
Speaker 1: in a press room. And I am not, if anything
Speaker 1: but intrigued about who she is who. We didn't get
Speaker 1: to know her outlet name, we didn't get to know
Speaker 1: her name, we didn't get to see her face. Apparently
Speaker 1: her name is Julia McIntyre, and she covers the Lakers
Speaker 1: for News for You Online, which, let's be honest, probably
Speaker 1: got put up and made four days ago by chat
Speaker 1: GBT like it has exactly two hundred and fifteen followers
Speaker 1: on Twitter. She's just out of college. If this is
Speaker 1: a plan to go viral, I am. I am proud
Speaker 1: of her. If she's only twenty two years old and
Speaker 1: she's hitting you with the successfully use your ball handling
Speaker 1: skills to fake out your opponent, nothing but success I
Speaker 1: hope for her. I'm still not one hundred percent convinced
Speaker 1: that she's not AI, though, I'm gonna need to see
Speaker 1: real blood come out of her body in order for
Speaker 1: me to not say, huh, you gotta watch it again.
Speaker 1: Don't just take my advice, don't just take my word
Speaker 1: for it of the sow that we just played, go
Speaker 1: on TikTok and google it because his reaction is priceless.
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk a little bit more about the Lakers.
Speaker 1: So moving on Ruie Hachimura. Rue Hachimura broke the Internet.
Speaker 1: So this is probably one of the stories I could
Speaker 1: not have s coming. I did not see it coming.
Speaker 1: And it does now make some more sense why the
Speaker 1: Lakers may have made the trade that they did. Well,
Speaker 1: it all comes down to one thing, which is money.
Speaker 1: And we know Genie Buss does not have a lot
Speaker 1: of it. She's one of the poorest billionaires you've ever met.
Speaker 1: She has that is her only stream of income, and
Speaker 1: she's doing whatever that she can to keep this little
Speaker 1: family business alive. And now it makes sense why they
Speaker 1: would value the Japanese big man as much as they
Speaker 1: did so following the trade from Washington, which is the
Speaker 1: doldrums of relevancy, right, no one cares about what's happening here.
Speaker 1: Not even c Span cares what's happening here, and they're
Speaker 1: covering this place twenty four to seven. But Los Angeles,
Speaker 1: the Japanese streaming service NBA Rakutin, they love some Lakers.
Speaker 1: Ruey Hachi Mura. It happens to be the only streaming
Speaker 1: service for the NBA in the in Japan, and they
Speaker 1: immediately scheduled all of Rui's games so that all of
Speaker 1: Japan could watch him play immediately. Of course, it's the Lakers, right,
Speaker 1: so half of the country probably wanted to watch the
Speaker 1: best basketball player on the in the in the world, right,
Speaker 1: Lebron James. And then you've got Russell Westbrook. He's quite
Speaker 1: enticing as well. Their game started at twelve thirty pm
Speaker 1: Tokyo time, and you know what happened. Predictably, the whole
Speaker 1: damn thing came crashing down. Yeah, the entire streaming service
Speaker 1: melted into oblivion ten minutes before tip off. They could
Speaker 1: not handle the bandwidth that Ruey Hachimura, Lebron James, Russell
Speaker 1: Westbrook and probably Dennis Shrewder International German Phenom ended up
Speaker 1: bringing to the table, and entire country tuned in to
Speaker 1: catch Ruey Hachimura. Who I told you, I told you
Speaker 1: he is on bags of chips all over Japan. Just
Speaker 1: know he's popular over there. And all they got when
Speaker 1: they tuned in was a four to one four era
Speaker 1: That's what they got, according to Basketball News Japan, with
Speaker 1: only ten minutes left before the game started the country.
Speaker 1: Only the country's only official streaming service, NBA rakoton went down.
Speaker 1: NBA rakooton nut offered free YouTube streams to the local audience,
Speaker 1: starting at approximately the nine minute mark in the second quarter.
Speaker 1: That's a rough look. That is a rough look for
Speaker 1: the first game to see, ruey Hachimura. You went from
Speaker 1: streaming service that collapsed to now you're putting the thing
Speaker 1: on YouTube TV. I think the game just finished like
Speaker 1: ten minutes ago. The YouTube TV lag is so far
Speaker 1: behind live action. Have you ever tried to watch YouTube
Speaker 1: YouTube TV sports? YouTube TV. I had to pay so
Speaker 1: much money just to get back on track because Twitter
Speaker 1: would be two, three, four, five minutes in front of
Speaker 1: me in my stream. If you got bad Internet, it's
Speaker 1: even worse. So if you're the Lakers, money is coming, baby,
Speaker 1: ruey Hachimur is gonna be very profitable for you. I
Speaker 1: saw Hang Chu, who is a female basketball player for
Speaker 1: the New York Liberty. She's six', Eleven she's From, china
Speaker 1: sat next to a bunch of people who flew in
Speaker 1: From beijing just to watch her. Play watch what happens
Speaker 1: for Ruy Ichuru suzuki single handedly kept The Seattle mariners
Speaker 1: a float for like fifteen. Years so Maybe Ruey hachimur
Speaker 1: is THE uh is the panacea to all of the
Speaker 1: issues for The. Lakers he's gonna become a cash cow
Speaker 1: For Genie, buss whether he thought he would or. Not
Speaker 1: SO i eat Up Michael jordan's. STORIES i can't get
Speaker 1: enough of. THEM i need to know everything thing that
Speaker 1: goes on inside of his crazy head and all of
Speaker 1: the decisions that he. Makes he is not just the,
Speaker 1: goat but also what makes him more interesting is that
Speaker 1: he's certifiably. Insane he's just. It just. Does ask Former
Speaker 1: hornets and current sons Big Man Bismack. Biambo he was
Speaker 1: the number seven pick in the twenty eleven. Draft he
Speaker 1: ends up with The Charlotte bobcats on Draft day. Right
Speaker 1: he played In charlotte from twenty eleven to twenty and
Speaker 1: fifteen and then actually again from twenty and eighteen to
Speaker 1: twenty twenty, one so he's been Around jordan a. Lot
Speaker 1: we could probably say. So according To, Bismack jordan would
Speaker 1: regularly murder current players in practice for no. Reason Bis
Speaker 1: mack said, This Michael jordan would come into practice and
Speaker 1: just play one on one with players and then just kill.
Speaker 1: HIM i REMEMBER i think T Rob Thomas robinson played
Speaker 1: for The, bobcats and he would just tell him how
Speaker 1: how lesser of a player he. Was Michael jordan. Pause
Speaker 1: keep in, mind at this, time he is fifty five
Speaker 1: fucking years, old busting the ass is of twenty year
Speaker 1: old players regularly for no reason, whatsoever just to break
Speaker 1: their spirit on the team that he. Owns So bismack,
Speaker 1: Continues he, Goes Mike Is Mike. Man i've seen him
Speaker 1: play one on one with players after, games one on,
Speaker 1: one just taking them. Out so this was PROBABLY i
Speaker 1: think seven eight years, ago seven eight years, ago he
Speaker 1: would come into practice and just play one on one
Speaker 1: and just kill him one hundred. PERCENT i didn't even
Speaker 1: think he could still move like. That what a psycho,
Speaker 1: like what a psychotic. Person you come in and you
Speaker 1: disparage and break down the players that play for the
Speaker 1: team that you own that you want them to have
Speaker 1: confidence and. Succeed and also he still is so physically
Speaker 1: gift he could probably still play good minutes for The Charlotte.
Speaker 1: Hornets it probably could, play probably could step in For
Speaker 1: LaMelo ball When LaMelo ball twists like seventeenth consecutive. Ankle
Speaker 1: bismack continued with. THIS i think somebody DURING covid actually challenged,
Speaker 1: him because we had a phone call and he, Said,
Speaker 1: okay give me a couple of. MONTHS i just need
Speaker 1: to get in. SHAPE i don't need to run and all,
Speaker 1: that but just give me a couple of months And
Speaker 1: i'll be ready for one on. ONE i wouldn't suggest
Speaker 1: anyone take him up on, that he. Said could you
Speaker 1: imagine sixty year old mj just giving buckets To Kelly
Speaker 1: lubre just giving buckets To Terry, rosier just and shit
Speaker 1: talking him the whole time about how trash they? Are, yes,
Speaker 1: YES i. Can he is. Insane no other player short
Speaker 1: Of kobe And, lebron probably not Even, lebron, honestly probably Just.
Speaker 1: Kobe one hundred years from, now we will be discovering
Speaker 1: new tales About Michael, jordan because everyone is. True everyone
Speaker 1: is more crazy than the, last AND i don't think
Speaker 1: anyone can get enough of, them
