WEBVTT - Ben Simmons Returns To Philly

0:00:08.360 --> 0:00:14.360
<v Speaker 1>For the first time since Ben Simmons was traded, Joel

0:00:14.440 --> 0:00:18.200
<v Speaker 1>Embiid and the Sixers got to face off against a

0:00:18.360 --> 0:00:23.160
<v Speaker 1>healthy Ben Simmons and a somewhat healthy Nets team no

0:00:23.320 --> 0:00:30.160
<v Speaker 1>KD and as you might expect, as you might be predicting,

0:00:31.040 --> 0:00:33.920
<v Speaker 1>shit did get testy. Yes it did. It got testy

0:00:34.000 --> 0:00:37.560
<v Speaker 1>so fast in what turned out to be a really

0:00:37.560 --> 0:00:39.720
<v Speaker 1>good game. Actually, even though the Sixers went up big

0:00:39.760 --> 0:00:44.479
<v Speaker 1>at first, tons of hard fouls, borderline cheap shots, Sixers

0:00:44.479 --> 0:00:47.960
<v Speaker 1>blow a twenty two point lead at one point, Nets

0:00:47.960 --> 0:00:51.480
<v Speaker 1>come roaring back. Nick Claxton was awesome, Kyrie was really good.

0:00:51.760 --> 0:00:55.040
<v Speaker 1>Even Ben Simmons hit some really big shots down the stretch.

0:00:55.400 --> 0:00:58.280
<v Speaker 1>Game ended one thirty seven thirty three with the Sixers

0:00:58.280 --> 0:01:00.840
<v Speaker 1>actually getting the dub. But here's the thing. The game

0:01:00.920 --> 0:01:07.240
<v Speaker 1>had forty five fouls, seven technicals, six on players and

0:01:07.280 --> 0:01:09.840
<v Speaker 1>a seventh on a delay of game penalty that led

0:01:09.880 --> 0:01:14.240
<v Speaker 1>to sixty three free throws. If you are one of

0:01:14.240 --> 0:01:18.240
<v Speaker 1>those people in your rocking chairs and you're praying and

0:01:18.319 --> 0:01:23.720
<v Speaker 1>hoping for throwback basketball, that was it, folks. You got it.

0:01:23.720 --> 0:01:28.039
<v Speaker 1>It was physical, it was nasty, it was feisty, and

0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:31.360
<v Speaker 1>Ben and Joel I think it is clear now despite

0:01:31.400 --> 0:01:33.920
<v Speaker 1>what they say, because they do tell us that, oh

0:01:33.959 --> 0:01:37.080
<v Speaker 1>we didn't like we were friends, but we didn't have

0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:40.040
<v Speaker 1>any problems with they. No, they don't like each other.

0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:43.800
<v Speaker 1>That is big facts. They have a full blown rivalry

0:01:43.880 --> 0:01:49.120
<v Speaker 1>now on our hands and me put me personally, Oh

0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:52.640
<v Speaker 1>I love it. I could not get enough of it.

0:01:53.440 --> 0:01:57.960
<v Speaker 1>When asked about the rivalry during the game, Joel Embiid,

0:01:58.080 --> 0:02:02.640
<v Speaker 1>as per usual, did not disappoint. He said when asked

0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:07.160
<v Speaker 1>what he felt playing against his old teammates, I felt nothing.

0:02:08.800 --> 0:02:12.600
<v Speaker 1>Just like every single night, I'm trying to just fucking

0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:16.680
<v Speaker 1>kill whoever is in front of me. My mentality is

0:02:16.720 --> 0:02:20.480
<v Speaker 1>always about scoring. If I get doubled, make the right pass.

0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:22.639
<v Speaker 1>If I get played one on one, or I see

0:02:22.639 --> 0:02:25.880
<v Speaker 1>an opportunity to go score, I am going to go score.

0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:29.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't know that I've ever heard Joel Embiid say

0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:32.679
<v Speaker 1>he wanted to fucking kill someone on a court. Uh

0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:37.200
<v Speaker 1>so this feels not the same as normal matchups. Go

0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:41.079
<v Speaker 1>kill whoever you want, Joelle, but just just know that

0:02:41.080 --> 0:02:43.959
<v Speaker 1>that's not the same energy that you bring every single night.

0:02:44.160 --> 0:02:46.480
<v Speaker 1>So he posts up on Ben three times, he missed

0:02:46.480 --> 0:02:48.800
<v Speaker 1>the shot once he got fouled a second time he

0:02:48.840 --> 0:02:51.720
<v Speaker 1>got stripped a third. But there was some extra beef

0:02:52.000 --> 0:02:57.040
<v Speaker 1>going on between the teams. Joelle had more aggression, more power,

0:02:57.400 --> 0:03:02.079
<v Speaker 1>more something against Ben, and at one point Embiid took

0:03:02.160 --> 0:03:06.120
<v Speaker 1>a full run down the paint. Ben Simmons made a

0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:12.000
<v Speaker 1>business decision to step aside and Joel Embiid dunk the ball,

0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:16.600
<v Speaker 1>hammered it home, hung on the rim an extra second.

0:03:17.520 --> 0:03:24.800
<v Speaker 1>Then he twisted around and stared down Ben Simmons. Wow,

0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:29.720
<v Speaker 1>that's incredible. He then shift Ben in the back early

0:03:29.800 --> 0:03:32.760
<v Speaker 1>in the game as well. So the things that are

0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:38.120
<v Speaker 1>happening between Brooklyn and Philadelphia, they are real. This is

0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:41.560
<v Speaker 1>a new beef that is going to happen and continue

0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:45.160
<v Speaker 1>as long as Harden and Embiid or on the sixers,

0:03:45.240 --> 0:03:48.280
<v Speaker 1>and as long as Kyrie and Ben Simmons are on

0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:51.480
<v Speaker 1>the nets. It is real. Harden does not like Kyrie.

0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:54.760
<v Speaker 1>We know that he wanted out of Brooklyn because of Kyrie.

0:03:55.160 --> 0:03:58.400
<v Speaker 1>Kyrie does not like Harden. They were going at each

0:03:58.400 --> 0:04:03.160
<v Speaker 1>other in practice on one Lots of nastiness going on

0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:07.360
<v Speaker 1>between the two. Embiid and Simmons. We know they very

0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:11.040
<v Speaker 1>much didn't like each other as teammates, and now the

0:04:11.040 --> 0:04:13.480
<v Speaker 1>two teams are battling for the position, and the playoffs

0:04:13.520 --> 0:04:15.960
<v Speaker 1>are battling for the top four. They're battling for a

0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:19.000
<v Speaker 1>playoff series. And I hope they see one another in

0:04:19.040 --> 0:04:24.640
<v Speaker 1>the playoffs, don't you watching Ben and Joel Embiid square

0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:29.640
<v Speaker 1>up seven times a Ben Simmons revenge spot. That's the

0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:32.400
<v Speaker 1>kind of NBA we need. That's the kind of NBA

0:04:32.560 --> 0:04:37.960
<v Speaker 1>I am looking for. Moving on, I don't know if

0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:42.120
<v Speaker 1>you've heard about this, because it's relatively new. There's this

0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:49.400
<v Speaker 1>there's this new technology called chat GPT. It's AI. You

0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:51.680
<v Speaker 1>can get it to do anything for you. You can

0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:54.720
<v Speaker 1>get it to write papers for you, you can get it

0:04:54.760 --> 0:04:57.279
<v Speaker 1>to write a script for you. You can get it to

0:04:57.320 --> 0:05:02.400
<v Speaker 1>make arguments about why the are actually the heroes and movies.

0:05:02.440 --> 0:05:05.279
<v Speaker 1>There's all kinds of tiktoks being made about it. It's

0:05:05.320 --> 0:05:08.279
<v Speaker 1>blowing my mind. But what I know about chat GBT,

0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:11.120
<v Speaker 1>based on what I have heard, is they very clearly

0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:15.320
<v Speaker 1>it infiltrated the NBA two nights ago. That is true.

0:05:15.760 --> 0:05:20.240
<v Speaker 1>How do you know? Because they're not sentient beings, right,

0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:25.120
<v Speaker 1>these AI creatures, these robots, and you know when you

0:05:25.200 --> 0:05:29.239
<v Speaker 1>come across someone who's not a robot. You know what's

0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:32.599
<v Speaker 1>human and what's not human. We speak a certain way, right,

0:05:33.080 --> 0:05:36.320
<v Speaker 1>and when you see and hear this, you will know

0:05:36.880 --> 0:05:41.240
<v Speaker 1>that this is not a normal interaction between reporter and player.

0:05:41.760 --> 0:05:45.440
<v Speaker 1>So Russell Westbrook was asked some questions after a very

0:05:45.480 --> 0:05:50.120
<v Speaker 1>disappointing loss. Turn the ball over late, everyone's giving them

0:05:50.120 --> 0:05:53.320
<v Speaker 1>a hard time. They played the Clippers, they lost by

0:05:53.440 --> 0:05:56.960
<v Speaker 1>fifteen or so, and then this young woman that we

0:05:57.000 --> 0:05:59.200
<v Speaker 1>did not get to see her face did this.

0:06:00.760 --> 0:06:04.200
<v Speaker 2>First of all, congrats, congrats on making the twenty four

0:06:04.240 --> 0:06:09.320
<v Speaker 2>thousand points much Yeah, tonight, you use impressive dribbling skills

0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:14.599
<v Speaker 2>to successfully fake out your opponents multiple times. And in

0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:17.160
<v Speaker 2>the second quarter you made a jump shot where your

0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:20.120
<v Speaker 2>body was turned like one hundred and eighty degrees away

0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:23.320
<v Speaker 2>from the basket. It was just an amazing shot. You're

0:06:23.320 --> 0:06:27.040
<v Speaker 2>always making these spectacular moves with just within a split second.

0:06:27.600 --> 0:06:30.159
<v Speaker 2>Do you anticipate doing them or is it just a

0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:32.120
<v Speaker 2>second nature to you? Like do you just not even

0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:32.960
<v Speaker 2>have to think about it?

0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:38.800
<v Speaker 1>Paul's his answer does not matter. That's not a person

0:06:40.040 --> 0:06:43.280
<v Speaker 1>that's either. Okay, So it could be a person that

0:06:43.400 --> 0:06:46.680
<v Speaker 1>chat GBT wrote that script for her, But this is

0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:51.640
<v Speaker 1>a plant. This is a thousand percent a plant. There's

0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:55.960
<v Speaker 1>two explanations, right, So she's a plant is the first one.

0:06:56.320 --> 0:06:59.520
<v Speaker 1>Doesn't this seem rehearsed? Is she a friend? Do they

0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:04.000
<v Speaker 1>know each other? He was ready, he was smiling. Impressive

0:07:04.680 --> 0:07:12.480
<v Speaker 1>dribbling skills to successfully fake out your opponent. Those words

0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:16.400
<v Speaker 1>have may have never been strung together ever in life before.

0:07:18.160 --> 0:07:23.400
<v Speaker 1>That is a gentle question that only an NBA TNT

0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:31.000
<v Speaker 1>Kids reporter would ask, or somebody that you're just friends with.

0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:37.280
<v Speaker 1>It's like when Kristin Lemlow gets Lebron James for an interview. Oh, today, Lebron,

0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:40.480
<v Speaker 1>you were wearing your Lebron twenties and it looked like

0:07:40.520 --> 0:07:45.000
<v Speaker 1>you were extra explosive and successfully faking out your opponent.

0:07:46.960 --> 0:07:51.880
<v Speaker 1>On the other hand, though, the other potential explanation is

0:07:51.920 --> 0:07:57.680
<v Speaker 1>this chat GBT idea getting more and more sentient by

0:07:57.760 --> 0:08:03.920
<v Speaker 1>the moment, I robot style infiltrating the Lakers pressers, because

0:08:03.960 --> 0:08:06.760
<v Speaker 1>this sounds exactly like the question that you would have

0:08:07.000 --> 0:08:10.600
<v Speaker 1>when you input or have data, and that's what it

0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:14.640
<v Speaker 1>spits out. Hey, help me ask Russ a question that

0:08:14.680 --> 0:08:18.160
<v Speaker 1>would make him happy and in a good mood. And

0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:22.360
<v Speaker 1>that's the kind of question that chat GBT would spit

0:08:22.440 --> 0:08:25.720
<v Speaker 1>out probably one of the craziest exchanges I've ever seen

0:08:25.720 --> 0:08:29.800
<v Speaker 1>in a press room. And I am not, if anything

0:08:29.880 --> 0:08:33.079
<v Speaker 1>but intrigued about who she is who. We didn't get

0:08:33.120 --> 0:08:35.800
<v Speaker 1>to know her outlet name, we didn't get to know

0:08:35.880 --> 0:08:40.080
<v Speaker 1>her name, we didn't get to see her face. Apparently

0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:45.560
<v Speaker 1>her name is Julia McIntyre, and she covers the Lakers

0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:50.320
<v Speaker 1>for News for You Online, which, let's be honest, probably

0:08:50.360 --> 0:08:53.559
<v Speaker 1>got put up and made four days ago by chat

0:08:53.600 --> 0:08:59.439
<v Speaker 1>GBT like it has exactly two hundred and fifteen followers

0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:04.000
<v Speaker 1>on Twitter. She's just out of college. If this is

0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:08.520
<v Speaker 1>a plan to go viral, I am. I am proud

0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:11.640
<v Speaker 1>of her. If she's only twenty two years old and

0:09:11.679 --> 0:09:14.880
<v Speaker 1>she's hitting you with the successfully use your ball handling

0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:20.400
<v Speaker 1>skills to fake out your opponent, nothing but success I

0:09:20.440 --> 0:09:23.520
<v Speaker 1>hope for her. I'm still not one hundred percent convinced

0:09:23.520 --> 0:09:25.920
<v Speaker 1>that she's not AI, though, I'm gonna need to see

0:09:26.280 --> 0:09:29.080
<v Speaker 1>real blood come out of her body in order for

0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:33.400
<v Speaker 1>me to not say, huh, you gotta watch it again.

0:09:34.040 --> 0:09:36.400
<v Speaker 1>Don't just take my advice, don't just take my word

0:09:36.440 --> 0:09:39.719
<v Speaker 1>for it of the sow that we just played, go

0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:43.439
<v Speaker 1>on TikTok and google it because his reaction is priceless.

0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:46.120
<v Speaker 1>All right, let's talk a little bit more about the Lakers.

0:09:46.400 --> 0:09:54.880
<v Speaker 1>So moving on Ruie Hachimura. Rue Hachimura broke the Internet.

0:09:56.360 --> 0:09:59.600
<v Speaker 1>So this is probably one of the stories I could

0:09:59.640 --> 0:10:03.120
<v Speaker 1>not have s coming. I did not see it coming.

0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:07.240
<v Speaker 1>And it does now make some more sense why the

0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:12.000
<v Speaker 1>Lakers may have made the trade that they did. Well,

0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:14.440
<v Speaker 1>it all comes down to one thing, which is money.

0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:17.320
<v Speaker 1>And we know Genie Buss does not have a lot

0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:22.239
<v Speaker 1>of it. She's one of the poorest billionaires you've ever met.

0:10:22.600 --> 0:10:24.920
<v Speaker 1>She has that is her only stream of income, and

0:10:24.960 --> 0:10:27.720
<v Speaker 1>she's doing whatever that she can to keep this little

0:10:27.720 --> 0:10:32.040
<v Speaker 1>family business alive. And now it makes sense why they

0:10:32.080 --> 0:10:35.080
<v Speaker 1>would value the Japanese big man as much as they

0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:38.160
<v Speaker 1>did so following the trade from Washington, which is the

0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:43.080
<v Speaker 1>doldrums of relevancy, right, no one cares about what's happening here.

0:10:43.520 --> 0:10:46.640
<v Speaker 1>Not even c Span cares what's happening here, and they're

0:10:46.679 --> 0:10:50.680
<v Speaker 1>covering this place twenty four to seven. But Los Angeles,

0:10:51.600 --> 0:11:00.160
<v Speaker 1>the Japanese streaming service NBA Rakutin, they love some Lakers.

0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:03.240
<v Speaker 1>Ruey Hachi Mura. It happens to be the only streaming

0:11:03.320 --> 0:11:06.480
<v Speaker 1>service for the NBA in the in Japan, and they

0:11:06.520 --> 0:11:12.440
<v Speaker 1>immediately scheduled all of Rui's games so that all of

0:11:12.520 --> 0:11:19.319
<v Speaker 1>Japan could watch him play immediately. Of course, it's the Lakers, right,

0:11:19.400 --> 0:11:21.240
<v Speaker 1>so half of the country probably wanted to watch the

0:11:21.280 --> 0:11:24.199
<v Speaker 1>best basketball player on the in the in the world, right,

0:11:24.280 --> 0:11:29.000
<v Speaker 1>Lebron James. And then you've got Russell Westbrook. He's quite

0:11:29.160 --> 0:11:32.679
<v Speaker 1>enticing as well. Their game started at twelve thirty pm

0:11:32.720 --> 0:11:38.800
<v Speaker 1>Tokyo time, and you know what happened. Predictably, the whole

0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:43.520
<v Speaker 1>damn thing came crashing down. Yeah, the entire streaming service

0:11:44.080 --> 0:11:48.360
<v Speaker 1>melted into oblivion ten minutes before tip off. They could

0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:52.360
<v Speaker 1>not handle the bandwidth that Ruey Hachimura, Lebron James, Russell

0:11:52.400 --> 0:11:57.679
<v Speaker 1>Westbrook and probably Dennis Shrewder International German Phenom ended up

0:11:57.840 --> 0:12:01.680
<v Speaker 1>bringing to the table, and entire country tuned in to

0:12:01.800 --> 0:12:04.640
<v Speaker 1>catch Ruey Hachimura. Who I told you, I told you

0:12:04.760 --> 0:12:07.920
<v Speaker 1>he is on bags of chips all over Japan. Just

0:12:08.040 --> 0:12:11.600
<v Speaker 1>know he's popular over there. And all they got when

0:12:11.640 --> 0:12:14.000
<v Speaker 1>they tuned in was a four to one four era

0:12:14.440 --> 0:12:18.600
<v Speaker 1>That's what they got, according to Basketball News Japan, with

0:12:18.720 --> 0:12:21.679
<v Speaker 1>only ten minutes left before the game started the country.

0:12:21.840 --> 0:12:27.160
<v Speaker 1>Only the country's only official streaming service, NBA rakoton went down.

0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:32.480
<v Speaker 1>NBA rakooton nut offered free YouTube streams to the local audience,

0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:36.880
<v Speaker 1>starting at approximately the nine minute mark in the second quarter.

0:12:38.520 --> 0:12:40.680
<v Speaker 1>That's a rough look. That is a rough look for

0:12:40.720 --> 0:12:44.000
<v Speaker 1>the first game to see, ruey Hachimura. You went from

0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:47.360
<v Speaker 1>streaming service that collapsed to now you're putting the thing

0:12:47.440 --> 0:12:52.040
<v Speaker 1>on YouTube TV. I think the game just finished like

0:12:52.080 --> 0:12:54.880
<v Speaker 1>ten minutes ago. The YouTube TV lag is so far

0:12:55.040 --> 0:12:59.200
<v Speaker 1>behind live action. Have you ever tried to watch YouTube

0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:03.840
<v Speaker 1>YouTube TV sports? YouTube TV. I had to pay so

0:13:04.000 --> 0:13:06.840
<v Speaker 1>much money just to get back on track because Twitter

0:13:07.120 --> 0:13:10.679
<v Speaker 1>would be two, three, four, five minutes in front of

0:13:10.720 --> 0:13:13.600
<v Speaker 1>me in my stream. If you got bad Internet, it's

0:13:13.640 --> 0:13:17.440
<v Speaker 1>even worse. So if you're the Lakers, money is coming, baby,

0:13:17.679 --> 0:13:20.600
<v Speaker 1>ruey Hachimur is gonna be very profitable for you. I

0:13:20.679 --> 0:13:24.400
<v Speaker 1>saw Hang Chu, who is a female basketball player for

0:13:24.440 --> 0:13:27.920
<v Speaker 1>the New York Liberty. She's six', Eleven she's From, china

0:13:28.160 --> 0:13:30.199
<v Speaker 1>sat next to a bunch of people who flew in

0:13:30.240 --> 0:13:33.400
<v Speaker 1>From beijing just to watch her. Play watch what happens

0:13:33.400 --> 0:13:38.600
<v Speaker 1>for Ruy Ichuru suzuki single handedly kept The Seattle mariners

0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:41.880
<v Speaker 1>a float for like fifteen. Years so Maybe Ruey hachimur

0:13:42.040 --> 0:13:45.320
<v Speaker 1>is THE uh is the panacea to all of the

0:13:45.360 --> 0:13:48.199
<v Speaker 1>issues for The. Lakers he's gonna become a cash cow

0:13:48.280 --> 0:13:51.280
<v Speaker 1>For Genie, buss whether he thought he would or. Not

0:13:52.840 --> 0:13:57.560
<v Speaker 1>SO i eat Up Michael jordan's. STORIES i can't get

0:13:57.640 --> 0:14:00.320
<v Speaker 1>enough of. THEM i need to know everything thing that

0:14:00.360 --> 0:14:02.640
<v Speaker 1>goes on inside of his crazy head and all of

0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:05.480
<v Speaker 1>the decisions that he. Makes he is not just the,

0:14:05.520 --> 0:14:08.480
<v Speaker 1>goat but also what makes him more interesting is that

0:14:08.520 --> 0:14:13.560
<v Speaker 1>he's certifiably. Insane he's just. It just. Does ask Former

0:14:13.600 --> 0:14:17.360
<v Speaker 1>hornets and current sons Big Man Bismack. Biambo he was

0:14:17.480 --> 0:14:21.000
<v Speaker 1>the number seven pick in the twenty eleven. Draft he

0:14:21.080 --> 0:14:23.360
<v Speaker 1>ends up with The Charlotte bobcats on Draft day. Right

0:14:23.880 --> 0:14:27.520
<v Speaker 1>he played In charlotte from twenty eleven to twenty and

0:14:27.560 --> 0:14:31.160
<v Speaker 1>fifteen and then actually again from twenty and eighteen to

0:14:31.200 --> 0:14:34.240
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty, one so he's been Around jordan a. Lot

0:14:34.280 --> 0:14:40.480
<v Speaker 1>we could probably say. So according To, Bismack jordan would

0:14:40.600 --> 0:14:46.160
<v Speaker 1>regularly murder current players in practice for no. Reason Bis

0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:49.200
<v Speaker 1>mack said, This Michael jordan would come into practice and

0:14:49.280 --> 0:14:52.520
<v Speaker 1>just play one on one with players and then just kill.

0:14:52.600 --> 0:14:56.400
<v Speaker 1>HIM i REMEMBER i think T Rob Thomas robinson played

0:14:56.440 --> 0:14:59.720
<v Speaker 1>for The, bobcats and he would just tell him how

0:15:00.600 --> 0:15:04.520
<v Speaker 1>how lesser of a player he. Was Michael jordan. Pause

0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:08.800
<v Speaker 1>keep in, mind at this, time he is fifty five

0:15:08.920 --> 0:15:13.720
<v Speaker 1>fucking years, old busting the ass is of twenty year

0:15:13.760 --> 0:15:17.680
<v Speaker 1>old players regularly for no reason, whatsoever just to break

0:15:17.720 --> 0:15:20.760
<v Speaker 1>their spirit on the team that he. Owns So bismack,

0:15:20.760 --> 0:15:23.280
<v Speaker 1>Continues he, Goes Mike Is Mike. Man i've seen him

0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:26.360
<v Speaker 1>play one on one with players after, games one on,

0:15:26.360 --> 0:15:28.880
<v Speaker 1>one just taking them. Out so this was PROBABLY i

0:15:28.880 --> 0:15:32.520
<v Speaker 1>think seven eight years, ago seven eight years, ago he

0:15:32.560 --> 0:15:35.400
<v Speaker 1>would come into practice and just play one on one

0:15:35.440 --> 0:15:37.960
<v Speaker 1>and just kill him one hundred. PERCENT i didn't even

0:15:38.000 --> 0:15:41.960
<v Speaker 1>think he could still move like. That what a psycho,

0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:45.960
<v Speaker 1>like what a psychotic. Person you come in and you

0:15:47.120 --> 0:15:52.400
<v Speaker 1>disparage and break down the players that play for the

0:15:52.440 --> 0:15:55.480
<v Speaker 1>team that you own that you want them to have

0:15:55.560 --> 0:15:59.680
<v Speaker 1>confidence and. Succeed and also he still is so physically

0:15:59.720 --> 0:16:03.800
<v Speaker 1>gift he could probably still play good minutes for The Charlotte.

0:16:03.800 --> 0:16:07.760
<v Speaker 1>Hornets it probably could, play probably could step in For

0:16:07.840 --> 0:16:12.240
<v Speaker 1>LaMelo ball When LaMelo ball twists like seventeenth consecutive. Ankle

0:16:13.040 --> 0:16:18.280
<v Speaker 1>bismack continued with. THIS i think somebody DURING covid actually challenged,

0:16:18.360 --> 0:16:20.480
