Speaker 1: My Niners, the sixth seed at the number one green
Speaker 1: Bay Packers. We know, we know winning this game ain't
Speaker 1: no question even you know that. Now I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think the Nathers are gonna win. We're different bro defensively, offensively,
Speaker 1: like a cowboy fan. Now we did no but but
Speaker 1: we actually win. I got green Bay winning by seventy.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a good boy, the kind of winning
Speaker 1: by seventy. Welcome back to what's burning? Jack? What's good? Broke?
Speaker 1: Not much bro snow in Atlanta? So it's all crazy,
Speaker 1: is it? It's really snowed. Huh, Man, it was just flurries,
Speaker 1: but you know it's a blizzard to everybody outeah Man.
Speaker 1: Heavy mL K day yesterday, fourteen games. Let's talk about
Speaker 1: some of them. First off, let's address k D's injury.
Speaker 1: We wish him well. He's supposed to be out four
Speaker 1: to six weeks. Jack. Where does this leave the nets?
Speaker 1: You know Kyrie is part time right now. Uh, you
Speaker 1: know all dretching and Mills are gonna definitely have to
Speaker 1: step up. But thoughts on the state of the nets
Speaker 1: for the next four to six weeks. It sucks, man,
Speaker 1: it sucks. They're going through enough. Uh, just this where
Speaker 1: my own selfish reasons, uh that I wish Katie were
Speaker 1: get in the weight room. These are the type of
Speaker 1: things that I wish he was get in the weight
Speaker 1: room for, you know, make them legs a little strong.
Speaker 1: Even though he's so great. I know they say they
Speaker 1: ain't every brother, it ain't broke, don't fix it. But
Speaker 1: if he can make his legs a little strongest body
Speaker 1: a little stronger, to imagine what type of player he'd be.
Speaker 1: I know that's not in his his character, his DNA,
Speaker 1: but weights and strength prevents a lot of injuries. That's
Speaker 1: why Lebron has a red, hasn't really been so injury
Speaker 1: because he's a big time guy in the weight room.
Speaker 1: It's gonna hurt the nets really knocked him off their game,
Speaker 1: and uh they might slide. It might slide in the
Speaker 1: East and the standings with Katie out, So it's gonna
Speaker 1: hurt him. But like I said, for my selfarate reason,
Speaker 1: these are the times I wish he was in the
Speaker 1: weight room. I think to him, I I agree with
Speaker 1: obviously weights aren't gonna hurt anyone, But I think to
Speaker 1: his defense, similar to a d like this doesn't matter
Speaker 1: how many weights you lifted. When he got his knee
Speaker 1: hit like that, you know, it just hyper extended. Luckily,
Speaker 1: you know, it wasn't any significant tear or damage. It's
Speaker 1: you know, it's a sprain. But hear me out with
Speaker 1: this thinking now, with Katie out four to six weeks,
Speaker 1: I definitely agree with you. I think they're gonna slide
Speaker 1: in the standings. But this could end up playing in
Speaker 1: their favorite now that they might not have home court advantage,
Speaker 1: and that means they'll have Kyrie for game sevens if
Speaker 1: games go to seven, because they're gonna be the opponent
Speaker 1: the lower seed. So this might all in a in
Speaker 1: a sick way kind of work out. You know, we're
Speaker 1: here in talks of the team may pay Kyrie's fines
Speaker 1: for him to play at home or whatever the situation maybe,
Speaker 1: but um, it's an ugly situation in Brooklyn right now.
Speaker 1: We wish Katie the best and ship we're gonna have
Speaker 1: to see what happens. I mean, they got the richards On,
Speaker 1: one of the Richards owners in the league. Right now,
Speaker 1: they're already doing games in the net a Verse, so um,
Speaker 1: you know, they got all kind of stuff going on.
Speaker 1: They can afford it. Yeah, I think now more than ever.
Speaker 1: It almost four is their hand, you know what I mean? Like,
Speaker 1: now do they pay because Katie's down, They're gonna need
Speaker 1: Kyrie's Are they gonna pay these these fine? So I
Speaker 1: guess we'll have to see and you know what mat
Speaker 1: to touch on that. You You are right, some freak
Speaker 1: injuries do happen and that and Katie couldn't really get
Speaker 1: out of the way of that. But I just know
Speaker 1: when you do work out a lot of those injuries
Speaker 1: that you do have have it shortens them or they
Speaker 1: don't happen. You know. I wasn't. I wasn't a big
Speaker 1: time upper body guy, but I lifted a lot, you know,
Speaker 1: on my legs, and I had the same type of
Speaker 1: injury in the playoffs and Charlotte with that. Katie had
Speaker 1: the same type of thing. Jared Wallace fell on my knee.
Speaker 1: But I was able to play because I worked out
Speaker 1: a little bit on my legs and I got big
Speaker 1: calves and all that, and I couldn't jump with the
Speaker 1: ship strong. My legs strong as hell. You got some Popeye.
Speaker 1: If the spinach went to Popeye's legs, that's what kind
Speaker 1: of legs you got and out of all upper body
Speaker 1: a Next up, Bam is back for the Miami Heat.
Speaker 1: Miami moves to the number two spots six players averaging
Speaker 1: double figures. And we talked about it earlier this season.
Speaker 1: I think that Tyler Hero said he you know, he
Speaker 1: needs to be talked about with Luca and Trey, and
Speaker 1: you didn't agree with that. But one thing I can't say.
Speaker 1: He's been the best all around player for them this season.
Speaker 1: Should be an All Star. But talk to me about
Speaker 1: what Bam coming back to Miami means. They have they
Speaker 1: have Jimmy, to have Kyle now, they have all these
Speaker 1: other guys, but he's the cornerstone, you know, he's he's
Speaker 1: a guy to pain. They get that, get everything is going.
Speaker 1: He protects the pain. He's the guy that catches the lives,
Speaker 1: makes the big players get the team going. Bam is
Speaker 1: a big part of their team man, especially on defense
Speaker 1: as well. So um not having him as a big
Speaker 1: hole and you can't really be the team and build
Speaker 1: the team you're trying to be and and build the
Speaker 1: team trying to get to be in the championship team.
Speaker 1: You can't build that team without him. So having him
Speaker 1: back as a big part. All the other guys are rolling.
Speaker 1: Getting Jimmy back, hero was playing well as he should
Speaker 1: be an All Star this year. So with all that
Speaker 1: coming together, I think that should be good. But without Bam,
Speaker 1: none of that goes on. I agree, I think obviously
Speaker 1: not to the level, but he has a kind of
Speaker 1: a Draymond Green effect on this Miami team. You know,
Speaker 1: not necessarily the best player, but probably the most important
Speaker 1: player um with his ability to you know, he's he's
Speaker 1: more offensively aggressive on the offensive end, but then just
Speaker 1: his defensive versatility and like you said, protecting that paint. Uh,
Speaker 1: He's a big part of of what Miami does. I
Speaker 1: like this Miami team. They've been sliding under the radar
Speaker 1: the whole season. No one's really been talking about them
Speaker 1: too much or sitting at two in the East and
Speaker 1: getting stuff together at the right time. You know, we're
Speaker 1: in the dollar days of the season right now, you know,
Speaker 1: post All Star break, you know, can you expect to
Speaker 1: cite me to pick back up? But I think Miami
Speaker 1: is gonna be a problem with their experience in the
Speaker 1: past and then picking up people like p J. Tucker
Speaker 1: Um come playoff time. Alright, Next up, the Chicago Bulls.
Speaker 1: Zach Levine is due to return soon. No significant structural damage,
Speaker 1: which is good. He'll be revalue either way. Died in
Speaker 1: a week, but he'll should have him back. Laws of
Speaker 1: Ball has been sidelined UH for the last two games
Speaker 1: with some knee pain. Chicago, after this hot start, although
Speaker 1: they still are number one in the East, have lost
Speaker 1: four straight coming into this week. UH. They got a
Speaker 1: tough Calves team on Wednesday and then play the Bucks Friday.
Speaker 1: Thoughts on this Bulls team, even with a healthy team,
Speaker 1: I didn't expect him to finish them in the top three.
Speaker 1: So even though they're there right now, not the having injuries,
Speaker 1: you know, that's that's one thing that could affect anybody's seasons.
Speaker 1: One thing that you can't really predict, and that's injuries,
Speaker 1: and a lot of teams are dealing with him now.
Speaker 1: I think for them, with with with this team being
Speaker 1: new and the coach, you're having a new team and
Speaker 1: getting them off to a good start, they got to
Speaker 1: try to stay healthy and try to keep this going
Speaker 1: all year long. The Lakers Milwaukee m Brooklyn. I'm not
Speaker 1: worried about them. If they have some loads during the season,
Speaker 1: we know the type of team they could become playoff time,
Speaker 1: But the Bulls they need to have a good ride,
Speaker 1: a good winning field all season long. If they can
Speaker 1: get healthy, they can, But if they can team to
Speaker 1: have guys, especially like the Levine out uh and put
Speaker 1: too much pressure on the rods in all season that
Speaker 1: he's gonna be running down by the end of the year.
Speaker 1: So they gotta find somewhere to have these guys, the
Speaker 1: guys on the bench up and play more minutes even
Speaker 1: while guys are hurt, to try to sustain the good
Speaker 1: feeling and the winning field they have in Chicago right now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I agree with you one thousand percent um on everything
Speaker 1: you said. You know, I think they were my surprise
Speaker 1: pick um this season. But I think they exceeded everyone's expectations,
Speaker 1: you know when they jumped into that number one spot,
Speaker 1: and they deserved it. But like you said, injuries are
Speaker 1: motherfucker and you can't there's nowhere around it. I definitely
Speaker 1: think this is a top four team. That's why said
Speaker 1: I thought they were gonna be a top four team
Speaker 1: in the East this year. Um. But I agree with
Speaker 1: you from a standpoint of that this is a team
Speaker 1: that's not gonna be a spill to turn it on.
Speaker 1: They need to be consistent. They needed to to continue
Speaker 1: what they've been doing as far as playing together and
Speaker 1: and in building something because there are so many new
Speaker 1: pieces to this team. But I still think they're gonna
Speaker 1: be okay. There's still some time. We're hat. We're at
Speaker 1: the halfway point, um, you know, so hopefully everyone can
Speaker 1: heal up and and post All Star Break they'll be
Speaker 1: fully healthy and they can really see what they're they're
Speaker 1: they're made of all right, Dallas fifth in the West
Speaker 1: right now, whatnot? At a ten, have beaten some big teams,
Speaker 1: getting hot at the right time, starting a little role
Speaker 1: right now. They got a big match up Thursday versus
Speaker 1: the league. It's the best record in the Phoenix Suns.
Speaker 1: Devin Booker drop forty eight yesterday on MLK Day, and
Speaker 1: then a rematch versus the Grizzlies at home on Sunday.
Speaker 1: Uh Luca big triple double last time they played the
Speaker 1: Grizzlies last week. I think the question for this team
Speaker 1: is is porzingis Can Porzingis be Batman Jack? And he's
Speaker 1: been He hasn't been healthy teams hot, He's healthy teams
Speaker 1: playing really well. Thoughts on this team, you can you
Speaker 1: take them serious? I mean I don't. You can't take
Speaker 1: them serious. Obviously. I love Jay Kidd. Uh, they just
Speaker 1: don't have the team there. They don't have the team
Speaker 1: even even the pieces, backup guys and the guys come
Speaker 1: up the bench, even those guys. I mean, I like Brunson.
Speaker 1: Brunson solid. Uh, He's a solid guy that that you
Speaker 1: can start a winning I mean that you can. They
Speaker 1: better be a complimentary guy to a winning team. We
Speaker 1: know lucas a n VB candidate, He's gonna continue to
Speaker 1: get better and hopefully the miles from playing uh pro professionally,
Speaker 1: So long does it catch up with him? K Poven
Speaker 1: hurt his whole career. I mean, I just to knock
Speaker 1: on him. You know, he's he's he has the size,
Speaker 1: has the skills. He just don't produce in the way
Speaker 1: that people want him to produce, you know, and um,
Speaker 1: you got a big shoes to Fiel. I mean, you
Speaker 1: know Dirt. You know, Dirt was the last big man
Speaker 1: to play there that they're expected to carry the team,
Speaker 1: and Dirt was everything and more, you know, So they
Speaker 1: need a lot of work to Pete like I said,
Speaker 1: they gotta add a lot of pieces. I don't like
Speaker 1: uh Fincy Smith. Uh. He plays hard, but he doesn't
Speaker 1: really bring anything to that team. Hardaway can shoot, but
Speaker 1: there's a lot of people in the league can shoot.
Speaker 1: You gotta bring something else to this team. You know,
Speaker 1: they really don't have a defender on the wing. I
Speaker 1: like Jay Kid, I like Luca, but I just don't
Speaker 1: like this team as a whole. They need to be reconstructed. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean Luca could do lucas Luca, but I definitely
Speaker 1: feel as far as the Western Conference in the league goes,
Speaker 1: this team has some holes to feel um. But nevertheless,
Speaker 1: you know they're hot right now. The Phoenix Suns have
Speaker 1: one aided to ten, best record in the league. I
Speaker 1: really like what they're doing again. They've kind of been
Speaker 1: flying under the radar to last year. They felt they
Speaker 1: were disrespected because, you know, obviously not their fault, the
Speaker 1: path to the finals, every team was injury written. So
Speaker 1: I think this year they've come out to prove like
Speaker 1: we still are that team. It wasn't luck and they
Speaker 1: aren't getting as much love and and and attention as
Speaker 1: they deserve, but hey, they don't need it. As long
Speaker 1: as they're there at the end of the day. And
Speaker 1: then Jab Jab has been playing great another the Sunday
Speaker 1: matchup in Dallas. Um, Luca has something for him last game.
Speaker 1: I know Jab is gonna be hungry for the rematch
Speaker 1: to get back Memphis. UH is in third in the
Speaker 1: West right now, so heavy week for Dallas this week. Um,
Speaker 1: But I agree with you, I really can't look at
Speaker 1: him as a as a real contender, um because the
Speaker 1: way their their roster is constructed, the Los Angeles Lakers
Speaker 1: have just not been playing well. Magic Johnson came out
Speaker 1: and said something on Twitter. Uh Russell Westbrooks said, Hey,
Speaker 1: Magic's entitled his opinion. Lebron later apologized to UH Laker
Speaker 1: fans for their team's performance via Twitter. Came out last
Speaker 1: night against the number one offense in the NBA and
Speaker 1: the Utah Jazz and really played well. This Laker team
Speaker 1: again injuries, an older roster. Do you think this team
Speaker 1: has a chance once a d is healthy to turn
Speaker 1: this season around to be a contender still, Jack, Yeah,
Speaker 1: we gotta make some adjustment with the roster. I'm not
Speaker 1: saying really make trades. I'm just saying, with the five
Speaker 1: guys you have on the court at one time, you
Speaker 1: gotta figure out what guy's going to fit together. And
Speaker 1: I don't think, like I said, I never was high
Speaker 1: on this coach anyway, but I damn show don't see
Speaker 1: him figuring it out now. And he ain't figured it
Speaker 1: out in two years almost a half we halfy through
Speaker 1: the season. So this team is definitely should be there
Speaker 1: at the end. I definitely expect them to. With the
Speaker 1: injuries and all, I feel they have the roster to
Speaker 1: figure it out to be there when it counts. They
Speaker 1: got the experience, they got the star power, and they
Speaker 1: got the guys that when the game slows down at
Speaker 1: the end of the playoffs and they can become a
Speaker 1: half court game, they have a number of guys that
Speaker 1: can get buckets. So we'll see. I mean, like I said,
Speaker 1: they still have to do it. They have to get healthy.
Speaker 1: But with the roster, looking at Lebron and a D
Speaker 1: and Russ and Carmelo and all that over there, I
Speaker 1: still think they got they got the basketball um smarts
Speaker 1: to figure it out. Yeah, this team, I felt it
Speaker 1: was built for the playoffs. They're not an eight two
Speaker 1: games season because this is the older team. It just
Speaker 1: kind of is what is there an older team. But
Speaker 1: I feel like any time you have a healthy Lebron
Speaker 1: James and a healthy Anthony Davis or as healthy as
Speaker 1: they can be in the playoffs, you add rush, you
Speaker 1: add a mellow. You added Dwight Howard's who's been playing good, uh,
Speaker 1: but leaked monk who's been playing good. Trevor Rees is
Speaker 1: getting back off an injury. I think this team, as
Speaker 1: long as they're healthy, will definitely have a chance in
Speaker 1: the playoffs and possibly a title. I just think there's
Speaker 1: so much scrutiny obviously being in l A and what
Speaker 1: people understand, Frank Vogel is on the hot seat, But
Speaker 1: these guys rebuild, have rebuilt their team the last two years,
Speaker 1: like at the end of it, like everyone's on a
Speaker 1: one year deal. So as far as from a coaching standpoint,
Speaker 1: not to make an excuse, but it's tough to get
Speaker 1: you know, we've played it's tough to find chemistry with
Speaker 1: all new guys every single time around, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. And I think a younger Lebron could have
Speaker 1: probably gotta grasp on this a little sooner and probably
Speaker 1: put him in the right direction. But again, Lebron knows ship.
Speaker 1: As long as we're healthy in the playoffs, that doesn't
Speaker 1: really matter where we are, We're gonna have a chance.
Speaker 1: But I think people underestimate how important chemistry is on team.
Speaker 1: So if this team is healthy with the name they have,
Speaker 1: like you said, Jack, with the roster, this team is
Speaker 1: built for the playoffs, and as long as they're uh,
Speaker 1: you know, all available, I think they still have a
Speaker 1: a good shot at at at doing whatever they're supposed
Speaker 1: to do. One thing I wanted to add to was
Speaker 1: Stanley Johnson. He's on his third ten day. They pulled
Speaker 1: the slick one and cut him after the first and
Speaker 1: brought him back for two more. But I think he's
Speaker 1: the type of player they need, a young, hungry, athletic
Speaker 1: god because they don't have any of those, you know,
Speaker 1: Like I said, they have all They have some old dogs,
Speaker 1: but they're kind of like hound dogs, now you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, Like Trev and all them dudes used
Speaker 1: to be dogs. But they're gonna have to save that
Speaker 1: for the playoffs. So they need young, um, young guys
Speaker 1: like Stanley Johnson to come in and just do all
Speaker 1: the dirty works like he did last night against Utah.
Speaker 1: Really going right at Rudy Gobert. By the way, did
Speaker 1: you see Russ dunk on Gobert? Have you seen the
Speaker 1: highlight of it? Yeah? And and and and that's what
Speaker 1: excite people like he do stuff like that, then come
Speaker 1: back and have thirty nine turnovers. Right for me? But
Speaker 1: I'm you know, I'm I'm want to know people, and
Speaker 1: I've always been how was I take the good with
Speaker 1: the bad, So I really don't care about the turnovers.
Speaker 1: But when you do stuff like that, it just makes
Speaker 1: you think, Man, every time you go to the basket,
Speaker 1: if you locked in, he could do that every time.
Speaker 1: M m m m m m m m. So yeah,
Speaker 1: like I said, I think this team will be okay
Speaker 1: as long as they could be healthy when it matters
Speaker 1: the most. Next up on the Radar, presented you by
Speaker 1: DraftKings Big Matchup Wednesday, Grizzlies at Bucks UH two m
Speaker 1: VP candidates and John Moran and Joannice. The m v
Speaker 1: P race so far, Steph Curry is still favored at
Speaker 1: one and a half to one, Janice is slightly over
Speaker 1: three to one odds, Katie ten to one. He was
Speaker 1: seven to one before his injury, and John is fourteen
Speaker 1: to one Currier, Jannie have a unique opportunity to step
Speaker 1: into a class of three time m v P winners.
Speaker 1: Uh The list is Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Michael Jordan's, Bill
Speaker 1: Russell Lebron, James Wilt Chamberlain, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson and
Speaker 1: Moses Malone on Jack. Out of those two guys, if
Speaker 1: you could see the future, we're halfway through it at
Speaker 1: the end of the year, who you think it's gonna win?
Speaker 1: If it was just between the honest and stuff, I
Speaker 1: didn't know Moses was three times. I ain't crazy, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I ain't know that stuff all day long, stuff all
Speaker 1: day long. He should have wanted last year, you know,
Speaker 1: with the way he carried that team with everything that
Speaker 1: was going through last year, and to and to start
Speaker 1: off the way they started and to have this team
Speaker 1: as one of the top teams again in the league,
Speaker 1: not only West Carforce in the league again. It says
Speaker 1: a lot about stuff and what he brings to the
Speaker 1: game and how dominant he is or no question, Greek
Speaker 1: is the most dominant player we've seen, said Shack. But
Speaker 1: Steph deserves his kudos and I think this is the
Speaker 1: year to getting number three bro. I agree, Man, welcome
Speaker 1: to the family, our brother Kevin Gardinett, who launched his
Speaker 1: show KG certified over the MLK weekend. Excited to have
Speaker 1: him in the family. Man, We're trying to build something
Speaker 1: pretty nice over here. Jack Tholson add people like Kevin
Speaker 1: Garnett and Paul Pierce, our own Jelani McCoy to the
Speaker 1: Showtime roster. Man. It's good to have our brothers are
Speaker 1: part of this roster. Man. You know, it's just it's
Speaker 1: just built in the Showtime Basketball brand. You know that's
Speaker 1: really it more education. Uh, one thing about our the
Speaker 1: five guys that you named, um, that's what Showtime basketball.
Speaker 1: We all have experience. We're not speaking from what we
Speaker 1: think is going supposed to happen, or what we think
Speaker 1: it's going on in the locker room or what somebody
Speaker 1: else said. We know because we've been there. So you're
Speaker 1: getting you're getting it from the horses mouth, and you
Speaker 1: can't really have a more solid roster guys with experience
Speaker 1: to Hall of Famous. You know, four NBA champions, you know,
Speaker 1: five guys that played multiple years in the league. So
Speaker 1: you know, um, we're winning. We're winning. Enjoyed this teaser.
Speaker 1: His first episode featuring his brother Paul Pierce more Clay
Speaker 1: come back, you check them out to be off for
Speaker 1: two years? Two years? Be solid. Just think because you
Speaker 1: already see the Warriors, They're gonna be scared. If you're
Speaker 1: starting team today, Luca or Job. I mean right, I'm like,
Speaker 1: oh right now? Are you watching the ten Days watching? Man?
Speaker 1: We should have got a three day man. If you
Speaker 1: put Katie and Janice in the game on one on one?
Speaker 1: Who you got Katie? Be honest? You know why you
Speaker 1: put them on? Alcatrash Man and this ones know who
Speaker 1: you were in Roger's Park? Were Rogers? Who you hid?
Speaker 1: That's what I'm talking about. So that's what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1: Next Step fan Questions one of our favorite segments, Corey
Speaker 1: j underscore p g A, what are you too the
Speaker 1: most proud of since starting all the smoke? Good question
Speaker 1: for me. I'm just proud of the fact that we're
Speaker 1: doing something that a lot of people didn't expect us
Speaker 1: to be doing, and we're a war winning We're just
Speaker 1: not doing the show for the hell of it. Every
Speaker 1: mids a million, everybody got a podcast these days, but
Speaker 1: to be part of it with a showtime to be
Speaker 1: a war winning podcast, to be a podcast that the
Speaker 1: culture looks too as far as sports and entertainment, it's
Speaker 1: a blessing. Man. And to have people getting all the
Speaker 1: smoke tattoos, I think we came a long way. So
Speaker 1: all that's a blessing to me. Definitely, man, Shout out showtime,
Speaker 1: shout out our team over at Malka. I think we've assembled,
Speaker 1: um a great little team and and and the product
Speaker 1: is speaking everything you said, and then also allowing you know,
Speaker 1: like we always talk about a platform, a safe having
Speaker 1: for people to come talk their ship and tell their stories, uh,
Speaker 1: without it being twisted up or or or you know,
Speaker 1: looking for a clickbait. Um. And then also I just
Speaker 1: think inspiring people. You know, so many people you know
Speaker 1: come up to both of us talking about you know,
Speaker 1: hey because of you. You know, we're either starting the
Speaker 1: podcast or doing this, this is that. And then you know,
Speaker 1: talking to people over the showtime, everyone's always pitching like yo,
Speaker 1: this is our version of all the smoke or this
Speaker 1: is your X, Y and Z. So I definitely feel,
Speaker 1: you know, we've met left an imprint in this space, man,
Speaker 1: and we you know, we owe it to first of all,
Speaker 1: you know me and you, but you know we, uh,
Speaker 1: we have a great team around us, man, so keep
Speaker 1: pushing FS underscore a rod. Who do you think is
Speaker 1: going to take over the league after King James retires
Speaker 1: in five day eight years? I don't think Brown would
Speaker 1: be in there that much longer. But whose NBA is
Speaker 1: it next? Uh? Jack? In your opinion? I mean it's
Speaker 1: I've been going back and forth from year to year,
Speaker 1: Katie Braun, Katie Braun, But with no Braun, it's gonna
Speaker 1: definitely Katie. You know, it's gonna be Katie and Johannese.
Speaker 1: It's gonna always be two guys. And without Braun, is
Speaker 1: gonna be Katie and Janice and Janice on their heels
Speaker 1: while they're in the league. So I don't know, I
Speaker 1: think you could throw Step up in that category too,
Speaker 1: But yeah, no, I agree, it's it's it's uh, it'll
Speaker 1: be interesting to see once that wave is gone, whose
Speaker 1: NBA it's going to be. You know, Yanna still has
Speaker 1: a good run, but k D and Steph you know,
Speaker 1: God Willing probably got another five years. I want to
Speaker 1: see after that wave, like, who's five years of the
Speaker 1: level of the route? I think they still probably could
Speaker 1: play more. But after that group of guys are gonna
Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see whose league it is. Then
Speaker 1: next up, t underscored Dull if swapping jersey's post game
Speaker 1: was a thing in y'all's career, who were a few
Speaker 1: of the guys you would have seek out? Well, we
Speaker 1: did that anyway. I don't know why they acting like
Speaker 1: it's new. We did that a number of times. We didn't.
Speaker 1: Sometimes we didn't just trade swhere they as jerseys, but
Speaker 1: we was like bring bring how you're trying to bring
Speaker 1: me the jersey to my locker room and I do
Speaker 1: the same. So we did that a lot um. I
Speaker 1: think the only person that I missed was I was
Speaker 1: I wasn't playing that year and uh, I wasn't able
Speaker 1: to get his because I wasn't playing with Michael Jordan
Speaker 1: in two thousand to two thousand and one, two thousand
Speaker 1: two hours on injury list, and I actually got to
Speaker 1: his locker room after the game to get the jerseys.
Speaker 1: I mean to get a poster sign. I didn't have
Speaker 1: a jersey, but if I could ever do a jersey swap,
Speaker 1: it would have been with him J M J. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I missed him. J By a year. Um. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: like you said, it wasn't so much taking off the
Speaker 1: jerseys and taking pictures a half court. It was what
Speaker 1: you said it was. It was in the post game
Speaker 1: or pre game in the locker room sending over that
Speaker 1: note to their trainer. Man, I was lucky. I got
Speaker 1: some dope, a cod shock. You know, I got to
Speaker 1: play with a lot of great players. So um, I
Speaker 1: would have probably asked to get anybody, probably to get
Speaker 1: Lebron's probably for me. I got his rookie jersey. Bro nice.
Speaker 1: Next up, morning Underscore Hooper fifteen. Who is your coach
Speaker 1: of the year right now? Good question. My favorite coach
Speaker 1: man is Billy Diving for the Bulls. Man. I think
Speaker 1: he deserves coach of the year. What he's doing with
Speaker 1: these guys a new team, bringing these guys together and
Speaker 1: have them buy in so early and get off to
Speaker 1: a good start right now is looking like Billy Donovan. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I agree. Um. I had four coaches that came to
Speaker 1: mind when this question was asked. Billy Donovan was one
Speaker 1: of them. Bernie Bickerstaff Jr. Um, Monty Williams, and oh
Speaker 1: Eric Spoelster. Um. You know, with the with the injury
Speaker 1: riddled team, guys in and out. You know, now they're
Speaker 1: second in the East. So those are the four guys
Speaker 1: that came to mind. Um question. I think when he's
Speaker 1: Stow Stow, Steve Nash in there because he's dealing with
Speaker 1: a lot too. You know, he's dealing with a lot
Speaker 1: over there to Kyrie and keeping James and Katie happy
Speaker 1: and keeping his team all right, you gotta give Steve
Speaker 1: Nash and props too for being able to keep all
Speaker 1: this stuff together. I give him Babysitter of the Year.
Speaker 1: It's a lot of ship. But would it be crazy?
Speaker 1: Is they, like you said, if they still have the
Speaker 1: talent to with all this said? When the championship, Ye,
Speaker 1: I was watching ESPN earlier today and Stephen A. Smith
Speaker 1: said it wouldn't be good for the league if Brooklyn
Speaker 1: won because, just as we said, there's been a lot
Speaker 1: of ship going on over there, and if they win
Speaker 1: with a lot of ship, it's going to open the
Speaker 1: floodgates for other players to be on some I play
Speaker 1: when I want to. We still got a chance type ship,
Speaker 1: so I kind of felt it kind of didn't But
Speaker 1: just an interesting take. Last question A land dot As
Speaker 1: then who would you guys start a franchise within their prime?
Speaker 1: Steph Curry or Magic Johnson? Both of them? Either one.
Speaker 1: You came missed two completely different types of players, but agreed,
Speaker 1: you know, arguably the two greatest point guards, all due
Speaker 1: respect everyone else. So I'll take either one. Magic with
Speaker 1: my favorite player growing up. So that's one of my
Speaker 1: favorite players now. So both greats reactions Jack first round
Speaker 1: of the NFL Playoffs are done for the record. I
Speaker 1: was five and one this weekend. I only lost the
Speaker 1: Raider game and that was just that California in me,
Speaker 1: but ship they had a chance to win. And um,
Speaker 1: let's talk first about my forty Niners over your Cowboys.
Speaker 1: What happened? Oh, that's what happened. It's funny how the
Speaker 1: Cowboy fans every year is their year. This year that
Speaker 1: was supposed to be their year, and Dad was supposed
Speaker 1: to do this, this and that. What they've proven is
Speaker 1: they cannot be trusted. And my Niners came in into Jerry,
Speaker 1: into Jerry's Jerry zone and just man handle them boys.
Speaker 1: Beautiful thing to see. First of all, First of all,
Speaker 1: since we're talking about it, it was not a man
Speaker 1: hand Okay, First of all. We shot ourselves in the
Speaker 1: foot of the game. It wasn't no y'all. Y'all couldn't
Speaker 1: score after the first quarter. Okay, let's just keep it real. Okay,
Speaker 1: y'all had a lucky verse at the end of the
Speaker 1: game with Debo. But listen, we shot ourselves in the foot.
Speaker 1: We are we are got a team full of babies,
Speaker 1: their bonus babies. They don't prepare like they should. They
Speaker 1: spawl and I'm tired of this ship. I can't be
Speaker 1: a champion on every level and like a team that
Speaker 1: ain't one ship since I was born. I'm tired, jack um.
Speaker 1: We scored ten points in the first, six points in
Speaker 1: the second, seven points in the third, and that's all
Speaker 1: we needed. You guys got lucky and got ten in
Speaker 1: the in the fourth quarter. But it was a motherfucking
Speaker 1: man handling out there. It was not a man handling.
Speaker 1: We beat a man handled y'all track and y'all gonna
Speaker 1: u y'all gonna be home with us next week. So
Speaker 1: it don't matter if y'all lose this week and next
Speaker 1: week you're still losing. All that matters is we beat
Speaker 1: the cowboys. See that, that's the same we're so good
Speaker 1: that people season which is built beating us. No, y'all
Speaker 1: think you're so good. I'm just let y'all know, y'all
Speaker 1: really aren't that good. The party, not as the party,
Speaker 1: not as big as highlight. Y'all show it every year.
Speaker 1: Is one highlight y'all got. Y'all show it every year
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, the past, the Clark that's it. That's
Speaker 1: all y'all got. I think we got more rings too,
Speaker 1: but who's counting next? Disagree you're not. We're tied Rams
Speaker 1: over the Cardinals. I didn't really believe in the Cardinals,
Speaker 1: to be honest with you. They had a good run
Speaker 1: at the beginning season. Obviously, losing Hopkins was tough, but
Speaker 1: never really trusted them. Rams are looking good though, tough
Speaker 1: matchup next week. But thoughts on that game. Yeah, when
Speaker 1: they came and beat us in UM in Dallas a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, I didn't believe him then, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. I didn't believe in because we
Speaker 1: had two players out and uh they look good though,
Speaker 1: but without Hopkins is impossible to win games in the playoffs.
Speaker 1: He's one of the best receivers in the league. J J.
Speaker 1: Watt was coming off a show the Searcher. He tried
Speaker 1: to give all he had. That team wasn't healthy. They
Speaker 1: still needs another piece in that office and on defense
Speaker 1: as well. So um, the Rams are rolling right now.
Speaker 1: They were at home. O'Dell's giving them a new life.
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup is breaking records with the best receiver in
Speaker 1: the league and their quarterback best Stafford. He's he's coming
Speaker 1: into the quality that everybody said he would be once
Speaker 1: you get out of Detroit. I love the way they're looking.
Speaker 1: I'm real high on them right now. Bucks another dominating
Speaker 1: performance over the Eagles, kind of showing that you know,
Speaker 1: everyone's gonna say they were gonna miss a B or
Speaker 1: a B was saying he was they were gonna miss Yeah.
Speaker 1: He only want saying that they came out business as usual.
Speaker 1: Mike Evans had a big game. Tom Brady keeps doing
Speaker 1: what he's doing. Eagles. Jalen Hurts, I'm already hearing they
Speaker 1: should they should be in the search for another quarterback.
Speaker 1: Thoughts on that game, and and and Jenden Hurt someone
Speaker 1: that can lead the Eagles. Jaden Hurts was hurt. Okay,
Speaker 1: he had a bad angle. He badlet ca move and
Speaker 1: he went out there and play. That team is not good, man,
Speaker 1: They're just not good. I don't know why everybody was
Speaker 1: Eagles Eagles. That man, the Eagles not good. All right.
Speaker 1: They got a lot of work to do. Some of
Speaker 1: those guys on the defense as old as hell that
Speaker 1: they're still holding on too. They need to go ahead
Speaker 1: and then just and kind of bring some more youth.
Speaker 1: They got a great receiver and Smith coming from Alabama
Speaker 1: that they didn't get him the ball to the second half.
Speaker 1: So that team has a lot of work. They gotta
Speaker 1: get healthy, hoping they'll be good a year two. But
Speaker 1: I like Jane Hurts Chief's over Steelers Ben La Roethlisberger's
Speaker 1: possible last game in the end fell Chiefs getting hut
Speaker 1: at the right time made it look pretty easy. You
Speaker 1: think they have a chance to go back to the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, Jack, I think they do. Their offense is
Speaker 1: too powerful and they added on They still added on
Speaker 1: weapons to the offense. You know, so the defense is
Speaker 1: not bad either, but the offense is unbelievable. Hard to stop. Um.
Speaker 1: They they already went through they little ups and downs
Speaker 1: during the season. They got out of it and they're
Speaker 1: starting to play high and they and they started playing
Speaker 1: planning with a good field and on a good note
Speaker 1: right into the playoffs. And that's the way you want
Speaker 1: to be it for a team to just make it
Speaker 1: to the super Bowl, to go through their ups and
Speaker 1: downs earlier the season. Now four or five game wins
Speaker 1: in a row, you have they in trouble. The league
Speaker 1: is in trouble. Agreed. Bengals over Raiders. Raiders had a chance,
Speaker 1: couldn't pull it off. That was my one loss this weekend. Uh,
Speaker 1: Bengal's tough test. Next week we'll talk about them Bills
Speaker 1: over Patriots. The Bills team looks really good, man. Thoughts
Speaker 1: on them Bills got a lot of weapons over there, Man,
Speaker 1: they got a lot of weapons. Quarterback is young, Digs
Speaker 1: is out there bawling. I just like that team, man.
Speaker 1: They they they're not flashy. They're not a team that
Speaker 1: that's all over the news and all over the sports channels.
Speaker 1: But they get the job done. Man. And Uh, their
Speaker 1: team that everybody has to reckon will come coming the playoffs.
Speaker 1: This team from really winning. Agreed. Next weekend is the
Speaker 1: divisional round. We got the number four seed Bengals going
Speaker 1: to Tennessee. Derrick Hendry looks to be back who you
Speaker 1: got in that game? Tall task for the Bengals. You
Speaker 1: know they got a lot of weapons over there, man
Speaker 1: in Tennessee. But I'm pulling for Burrow and Chase. I
Speaker 1: like the young Taandam. I want to see the Bangles
Speaker 1: upset some people and be to go to the state
Speaker 1: warrior team of the playoffs this year. I wanted to
Speaker 1: go and upset some people. But it's gonna be hard.
Speaker 1: So you have the Bengals, I have the Bengals. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna take the Titans. That's gonna be your first loss.
Speaker 1: Next up, Camping Niners, My Niners, the sixth seed at
Speaker 1: the number one Green Bay Packers. We know, we know
Speaker 1: who winning this game, ain't no question. Even you know that.
Speaker 1: Now I don't know. I think the Nathers are gonna win.
Speaker 1: I mean, I like Aaron Rodgers and what they got
Speaker 1: going on over there. But we're different bro defensively, offensively
Speaker 1: like a cowboy fan. Now we did no but but
Speaker 1: we actually win. As long as Garoppolo doesn't lose the
Speaker 1: game for us, we're gonna be straight. But that's gonna
Speaker 1: be a tough one. So you're gonna be A. I
Speaker 1: got Green Bay winning by seven in It's gonna be
Speaker 1: a good boy, I kind of winning by seventy. That
Speaker 1: sounds like a disgruntled cowboy fan. Right next Sunday, we
Speaker 1: got the number four seed Rams going down to Tampa Bay.
Speaker 1: Rams beat them earlier in the season in l A.
Speaker 1: They're going to Tampa Bay to see Tom Brady and
Speaker 1: them boys who you got. That's gonna be a good
Speaker 1: one because the Rams ain't gonna be able to run
Speaker 1: the ball like they expect to, and the and and
Speaker 1: the Rams are going to get a lot of pressure
Speaker 1: on Tom. Brady ain't be able to sit back in
Speaker 1: that pocket like he wants to. So it's gonna be
Speaker 1: a good game. If I had to pick one, I'm
Speaker 1: going with the Rams. And the Rams are too much.
Speaker 1: This might be their year Tampa Bay. His offensive line
Speaker 1: is banged up, center, banged up, left tackle banged up,
Speaker 1: and they did put a lot of pressure on Brady
Speaker 1: last week. So if that defensive front line Donald and
Speaker 1: boys can touch Tom's chin, Yeah, But I'm I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go with Tampa Bay as much as I like the
Speaker 1: Rams too, but it's just hard to go against Brady
Speaker 1: and the offense looked good, but I think it's gonna
Speaker 1: be predicated upon and they handled that Rams defensive line.
Speaker 1: I think the game of the weekend, if it's not
Speaker 1: the Niners Packers, it'll be the Bills visiting the Chiefs.
Speaker 1: Who you got I'm going Chiefs man. The offense is
Speaker 1: just too much. Like I said, the offense. They got
Speaker 1: a great offense. They're rolling right now. They've been playing
Speaker 1: well on both friends of the ball, not making too
Speaker 1: many mistakes. Uh. This team, like I said that, they
Speaker 1: know when to start playing well at the right time,
Speaker 1: and I just see them continue to roll to the
Speaker 1: super Bowl. Agreed, Bills are tough, playing well that I
Speaker 1: think this will be the game of the weekend. I
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be a shootout. Uh, Josh Allen over
Speaker 1: there with the Bills a lot the weapons. But again,
Speaker 1: my homes Jack, you have a chance to go one
Speaker 1: in three this weekend. So we're gonna have to check
Speaker 1: back after this weekend and see how you did. Um.
Speaker 1: The only game we agreed on is the Chiefs and Bills,
Speaker 1: so we will have to see what's happening. Something that
Speaker 1: happened uh last week and we didn't get a chance
Speaker 1: to touch on it. Thoughts on this clown little chick
Speaker 1: that Drake allegedly messed around with and put some hot
Speaker 1: sauce in the condom and she got the condom out
Speaker 1: of the garbage and tried to uh impregnant herself and
Speaker 1: got a hot box. Thoughts what's going on in this world? Bro?
Speaker 1: Let's see, they say certain things about you when you
Speaker 1: speak on women like this. You know what I mean? When? When? When?
Speaker 1: And that's why I said, people gotta get out your
Speaker 1: feelings and look at the man deal reality. It's women
Speaker 1: like that out here. Man, It's like it's just like
Speaker 1: it's men that prey on insecure women. You got women
Speaker 1: out here that's trying to come up with trying to
Speaker 1: get pregnant. It's women are a lot of women have
Speaker 1: a motive. Right with a guy like Drake. I'm glad
Speaker 1: he on his toes because you know, things like that
Speaker 1: did happened to me. You know what I'm saying with
Speaker 1: people trying to get pregnant, trying to have babies, But
Speaker 1: it's just sad that people are so low to want
Speaker 1: to have a baby by somebody that don't have a
Speaker 1: baby with you. You know what I'm saying like that,
Speaker 1: like that's crazy. But then again, you have that much
Speaker 1: confidence in yourself? Are you? Are you you that secure
Speaker 1: in yourself where the only way you can have a
Speaker 1: life or be successful by doing something devious or doing
Speaker 1: something shade it like that, like it's it's it's men
Speaker 1: and women like that all over the world. I just
Speaker 1: try to stay away from him, sad man sad days.
Speaker 1: And she almost I want to say, Initially there was
Speaker 1: rumors that she was gonna try to uh take him
Speaker 1: to court over it, Like where do you feel like
Speaker 1: you stand on getting a condom out of the garbage?
Speaker 1: And because he put hot house, because he knew you
Speaker 1: were a clown? Try didn't pregnant yourself, and now you
Speaker 1: want to sue him? And then and then that's then
Speaker 1: that's thing. So that goes to show you ain't got
Speaker 1: no brains. So I ain't gonna like it because you're smart,
Speaker 1: because you dumb. His hell, even think of some ship
Speaker 1: like that too. You probably ain't that pretty, so it
Speaker 1: ain't you. It ain't your beauty, all your brains, so
Speaker 1: I gotta be your booty, okay, So if it ain't
Speaker 1: your beauty, it's your booty. All right, so take care
Speaker 1: of your booty because I I don't see you going
Speaker 1: nowhere with your brains and your looks. Like you said,
Speaker 1: this is this is not something new. This is maybe
Speaker 1: just the first time talked about it because Drake was
Speaker 1: funny enough and smart enough to put hot sauce. But
Speaker 1: this ship happens a lot. You know. You hear stories
Speaker 1: about women doing stuff like this or on the flip
Speaker 1: side again, guys being clowns and you know, trying to
Speaker 1: impregnant checks. So scary times. Wrap it up. When you're
Speaker 1: done with it, flush it and uh man, have a
Speaker 1: good day. What's Burning is available every week on Showtime
Speaker 1: Basketball YouTube and on Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok and Show Basketball.
Speaker 1: See y'all next week.
