1 00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:04,640 Speaker 1: Hey, Internet, it's editor Brian. Look, while the guys are 2 00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:09,639 Speaker 1: spending the holidays together away from their families at basketball camp, 3 00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:13,440 Speaker 1: so that their boost these are even mad or next year, 4 00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:17,040 Speaker 1: we decided to whip up a little compilation of some 5 00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:23,520 Speaker 1: of our favorite moments of enjoyed. What are some of 6 00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:28,840 Speaker 1: our favorite NBA players doing non basketball athletic achievements? You know, 7 00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:33,760 Speaker 1: Steph Curry with the smoothest golf swing that I've ever seen, 8 00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 1: Like I've I've watched professional golf and I'm like, no, 9 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,120 Speaker 1: they should swing like that. That's a that is a 10 00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,080 Speaker 1: beautiful thing. I think he's I think he's like a 11 00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:45,839 Speaker 1: good golfer, like a very very good golfer. Like hold on, 12 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:48,839 Speaker 1: and you said he's the best swing you've seen, and 13 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 1: you've seen Charles Barkley. Correct, So apparently I made that 14 00:00:54,760 --> 00:01:00,200 Speaker 1: same joke and super producer Jabari was like, actually, like 15 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,520 Speaker 1: he's improved his swing, so, Jasmine, have you seen what 16 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 1: his swing used to look like? Um? No, and I 17 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 1: would he never showed it to him because but I 18 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:15,040 Speaker 1: it golf is very hard, like yeah, like mini golf 19 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,560 Speaker 1: and top golf. Although I was drinking both times, it's 20 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:25,119 Speaker 1: still hard. Shout Charles Barkley has one of them, has 21 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,119 Speaker 1: his own form of the golf swing where he just 22 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:32,120 Speaker 1: halfway through this wing he has to like stopped, is 23 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,199 Speaker 1: this the right place to now put all my energy? 24 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 1: And then swings and then apparently he improved it so 25 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 1: it's smooth now. But so Steph Curry was doing a 26 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 1: pro am, which is the thing they do frequently with 27 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 1: golf and US amateurs, and somebody asked him if Barkley 28 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:55,280 Speaker 1: with his new and improved swing was going to like 29 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 1: place well and business something. Yeah, I wanted to ask 30 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 1: you about Arles. He's uh, you know that that bets 31 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 1: out there again this year top seventy. Do you think 32 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:11,119 Speaker 1: he can do it this year? No clip that sent 33 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,080 Speaker 1: it to him, let him play it on every tea box. 34 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: There's no way he's doing it. So as much as 35 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 1: as much faith this shug has had in the Warriors 36 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,080 Speaker 1: and jump shooting teams win the championships, the least amount 37 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:27,800 Speaker 1: of uh, that's the least this amount of faith I 38 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 1: have in him, you know, hitting the top seventies. I 39 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 1: love the pettiness of the Warriors. They were, they were 40 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 1: for many years they seemed like above it. They just 41 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 1: let Draymond do that for them, and now they are 42 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 1: all just petty and insufferable. They're like a bunch of 43 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 1: Lakers fans out here just being whoa, whoa, whoa. You 44 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 1: had us not in along with you? No, but they're 45 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 1: really really coming with it. I do love it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 46 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,920 Speaker 1: for sure we're getting a little too arrogant, but whatever, 47 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 1: I'd love. There's Jasmine, there's more right there. I don't 48 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 1: know about him. But back to just and Karl Anthony 49 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 1: Towns just again, there's this confidence right about Anthony Edwards 50 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 1: that I think is really it draws people in. And 51 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 1: it's not like in a hyper arrogant way, Like there's 52 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 1: a smile on his face even though he's saying like 53 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,360 Speaker 1: he's always being very very confident. And just even after 54 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 1: it was like in response to that clip that Aunt 55 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 1: posted of him just launching the pigskin, uh, there was 56 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 1: a reply in it where Kat was like asked about 57 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 1: like Aunt's own belief in himself and then this was 58 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 1: the answer. And you also get a bit of a 59 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 1: reply from Anthony Edwards himself at the end of it. 60 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 1: He's the best shooter who and anthonks he's the best 61 00:03:55,640 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 1: baseball player, football player, skier, curler walker on. So it's 62 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 1: like a postgame in the world, the postgame press conference. 63 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 1: And I think it was around when Karl Anthony Towns 64 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 1: was saying like he's the best big man shooter of 65 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,600 Speaker 1: all time, and then somebody was saying, you know, and 66 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 1: actually thinks he's the best shooter on the team. But 67 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 1: I do like that Anthony Edwards was just there, just 68 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,839 Speaker 1: ready in the background of the press conference, be like, actually, 69 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 1: so let maybe specific here about what I am the 70 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 1: best at. Say it right or keep my name at 71 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 1: your mouth. But I think that's the fun party. But 72 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 1: like most people, if they said something like I'm the 73 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 1: best at any sport that has a player behind it, 74 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 1: you'd be like, okay, please sit down. You were so. 75 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,799 Speaker 1: But like again, I don't know, there's something energetically about 76 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 1: him where the confidence doesn't feel toxic, Like it's he's smiling, 77 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 1: so it's he's almost like being joking. But also when 78 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 1: you see the way like how much of an elite 79 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,919 Speaker 1: athlete he is he is, you're like, he has to 80 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,719 Speaker 1: believe that on some level. But there's like a healthy 81 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,719 Speaker 1: quality to his confidence that I really admire. Yeah, he's lovable. 82 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 1: He's won a little bit, but not too much. I 83 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 1: think Hall of Fame like athletes in other sports or 84 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 1: just doing other things. I remember like it was a 85 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:19,360 Speaker 1: it was a big thing during Iverson's career for people 86 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:20,839 Speaker 1: to be like, yeah, but have you seen his high 87 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 1: school playoff highlights? And in fact, I guess this has 88 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 1: really caught on in the on the modern internet because 89 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 1: when we went to look for them, you can only 90 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 1: find them on Facebook like this, and I think it 91 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:37,839 Speaker 1: was like a page that his aunt was running. It 92 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 1: was pretty fun to watch man he's he was. He 93 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 1: was the quarterback. He was also like you know, played 94 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,839 Speaker 1: wide out and was like getting all sorts of interceptions 95 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:52,839 Speaker 1: and like laying people out in ways that I was 96 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 1: not expecting from Allen Iverson. Yeah, it's always fun to 97 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 1: like find out when an athlete in one sport like 98 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 1: they're actually really good at this other thing as well, 99 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 1: because like going through it, you got Iverson playing football. 100 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 1: The one thing I feel like we see a lot 101 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,479 Speaker 1: though two is a lot of basketball players who like 102 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 1: play soccer or soccer adjacent like Joel Embiid for example, 103 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 1: he loves to like juggle the basketball like as if 104 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 1: you know, he's not playing basketball, but he's also got 105 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 1: like a definite Uh, how do you say we excite 106 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 1: level of excitement for it, because like you'll see him 107 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,360 Speaker 1: go for like overhead kicks like on a like a 108 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 1: hard floor, and you're like, sir, you are too big 109 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 1: to be doing stuff like this. Yeah. He's pretty jug though, 110 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 1: which is pretty wild. I mean that's his footwork is legendary, 111 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 1: and I mean it is probably what makes him the 112 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 1: best big man in the history of the NBA. But 113 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 1: I don't know, is there is there any Sixers bias 114 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:57,040 Speaker 1: showing through that. My two answers are both sixers. Great, Um, 115 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 1: check out this guy too, Alan Iverson. I don't know, 116 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,720 Speaker 1: check it out. Maybe he's pretty good. Huh. It sounds 117 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 1: sounds sounds pretty good. You got a branch out from 118 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 1: the sick of fandom, you'll be much happier. Oh, believe me. 119 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 1: I I said, like towards the end of the Heat series, 120 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 1: I was like, just put us out of our misery, please, 121 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 1: just just that. Yeah, yeah, change the channel on us forever. Yeah. 122 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 1: There was also a good I guess. I guess it 123 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 1: was inside the NBA segment where they had everybody compete 124 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 1: like trying and do penalty kicks, and Shack was like 125 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 1: just destroying the ball, which, you know, not surprising one 126 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 1: of the strongest humans ever for someone with the u 127 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 1: P dietry issues. But I don't know if foot issues 128 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 1: at yet. Someone to see someone kick toe kick a 129 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 1: ball with that energy, I was like, Shack, your big 130 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 1: toenails are gonna blow off, dreaking it like that. Ye. 131 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 1: The goalie unfortunately did lose arm uh trying to stop 132 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 1: one of his now, but Shack at least was like 133 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 1: the ball was heading in the right direction. He was 134 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 1: missing it by a couple of feet. Charles Barkley brought 135 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 1: all of the elegance of his golf swing to soccer. Yeah. Aggressive, 136 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 1: aggressive style. That's how we know Chuck. You know, he's 137 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 1: not a finesse guy. So when he boots, the ball 138 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 1: had a really nice placement. Actually, but Chris Webber had 139 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 1: the best. Webber hit a deceptive penalty. He made his 140 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 1: body look like the ball was going right and then 141 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 1: he went left with it, which, yeah, Kenny, Kenny, is this. 142 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,200 Speaker 1: I think it's also like it's kind of a like 143 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,079 Speaker 1: a prank on American athletes when they have like American 144 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 1: athletes kick a soccer ball because not many people are 145 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 1: growing up doing that. It's the same way like when 146 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 1: you see, like in Europe someone trying to throw a 147 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 1: ball and Americans are like, what where was your father 148 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 1: would throw a ball like whacky stuff. Didn't even do 149 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 1: a chest pass. Nothing had has reminded me how unnatural 150 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 1: the throwing form is. More than like trying to throw 151 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 1: a baseball with my Turkish friend in high school and 152 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 1: like he had never thrown a ball, and I was like, 153 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:14,200 Speaker 1: oh man, that is but that that is actually what 154 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 1: watching Kenny the Jet try and kick this soccer ball 155 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,440 Speaker 1: reminded me of. It wasn't that like he looked like 156 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 1: he had never kicked the ball. It's that he had 157 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,439 Speaker 1: never even heard that people did that, or like I 158 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 1: had watched someone else do it before, because it wasn't 159 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 1: even like the idea of like what your body should 160 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 1: look like when you kick a ball, you know what 161 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:37,440 Speaker 1: I mean?

He's 208 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 1: been having such performances that like, I'm already envisioning my 209 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 1: son a few like years from now, like in the 210 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 1: driveway yelling Chet instead of Kobe and Chet. Yeah, it's 211 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 1: just like Chet is like a banker's name. But I'm 212 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 1: just I'm still in off of him as a physical presence, 213 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 1: just seeing someone that long elongated, uh like for lack 214 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:40,080 Speaker 1: of a better term, moving the way he does, just 215 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 1: just defending the room like it was. I couldn't.

I thought maybe there 219 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:55,880 Speaker 1: would be some slight like uh period of adjustment, but 220 00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 1: again it almost felt like he was like, you know what, 221 00:12:57,800 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 1: I should have been drafted number one. Let me show 222 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 1: you something quick.

And what happened with him? I 228 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,000 Speaker 1: forget how was this? He was in a movie called 229 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:23,840 Speaker 1: Thunderstruck and then kind of just like Radar. But I 230 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 1: mean that's the thing is like there there's strength. Doesn't 231 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 1: just look like bodybuilders, I think, um and you know, 232 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 1: chat was he wasn't just like hitting shots because he 233 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:37,200 Speaker 1: was tall.

And then I'm like, 293 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 1: who does does the coach bring his own tractor tire 294 00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 1: or is there a tractor tire at every gym? I 295 00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 1: was tire based. That was the thing. I was gonna say, 296 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 1: not enough tractor tires and then workout. In this workout footage, 297 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 1: they find a way to make it, make it everything 298 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:45,800 Speaker 1: tractor tire focused. Who had the tractor tire because yeah, 299 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 1: I've been a probably thousands gyms in my life, maybe 300 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 1: one or two or three of them. But you know 301 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 1: who's bringing it, who's packing it up with cards? It 302 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 1: fitting in right, and they just leave it there and 303 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 1: they take him the football field back to the court 304 00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 1: and vice versa. Kind of that guy cycle through it, right. 305 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,000 Speaker 1: I love the Rocky component tour. It's like, oh, he's 306 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 1: got to hit this time, like like the morning. Yeah. 307 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 1: Distance running is the most important thing for an NBA 308 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:14,399 Speaker 1: athlete who's preparing for the combine. So to your point, 309 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,840 Speaker 1: there's a part where he goes viral by going on 310 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,160 Speaker 1: defense and defending people one on one and they can't 311 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 1: touch the rim. It's it's just such a weird like missing. 312 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:25,959 Speaker 1: I mean, I guess like one on one defense is important, 313 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,880 Speaker 1: but it's like not, I don't know, there's so much 314 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,199 Speaker 1: one on one in this movie. I feel like like, 315 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:35,680 Speaker 1: which is a little bit yeah, but the workout footage 316 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:39,400 Speaker 1: is fun. He's really lovable. So a movie that I've 317 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:44,200 Speaker 1: gone back and watched and the basketball footage is worse 318 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 1: than I remembered, but it still works on me. As 319 00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:50,399 Speaker 1: white men can't jump, I feel like they have like 320 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:54,440 Speaker 1: good players in there, but Wesley Snipes and what do 321 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,880 Speaker 1: you Harrelson's like kind of like you can tell he's 322 00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:01,879 Speaker 1: picked up a basketball before, but like he's also you 323 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,000 Speaker 1: can tell they're having to like slow things down and 324 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 1: like give them three ft till they get his jumper off. 325 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 1: And Wesley Snipes is just incredibly athletic. Loggan bu Leg 326 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:13,160 Speaker 1: also doesn't really like he's dribbling it over his head 327 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,960 Speaker 1: many of the times, And I don't know, it still 328 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,000 Speaker 1: works for me.

Somewhere actually actually knew how to play basketball. 341 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 1: Wesley had no clue what he was doing. So they 342 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,159 Speaker 1: would do like drills like three man we's, five man weaves, 343 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,360 Speaker 1: and dudes are deliberately like not trying to go with Wesley, 344 00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 1: and he kind of caught me, caught onto it. He 345 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:00,359 Speaker 1: started cutting people out. But like you, when he was 346 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,080 Speaker 1: he started to go, guys are kind of shoving to 347 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 1: the back of the line because they didn't they didn't 348 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:05,680 Speaker 1: want to have to go with him. But if you 349 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:07,920 Speaker 1: watch that movie, tons of cutaways every time you try 350 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 1: to get freaky with the crossover between the legs and 351 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,159 Speaker 1: all that type of stuff. Definitely, you know, cutting the 352 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,919 Speaker 1: type body shots and things like that. Who was the stunt, 353 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,720 Speaker 1: Who was the stunt baller for him on that I wonder, yeah, 354 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:19,880 Speaker 1: I wondered to shoot, I don't even know it's before 355 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:23,400 Speaker 1: Jamal Crawford's time, but I say, you know. But then 356 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 1: they do the cutaway him, like making the layup or 357 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:26,919 Speaker 1: tight on his face for those type of things.

But uh, no, that that that 498 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:50,000 Speaker 1: guy is phenomenal man, and he is exactly what that 499 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:53,520 Speaker 1: franchise needs. And I look, I don't know what's gonna 500 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 1: happen in this series, but they've proven and he's proven that, 501 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:01,159 Speaker 1: like no stage is too big for him. I'm not 502 00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:03,440 Speaker 1: saying he's gonna come up, you know, on the right 503 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 1: side every time, because that just never happens to anybody. 504 00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:10,200 Speaker 1: But like even his coach, you know, Finch, he's even 505 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:14,240 Speaker 1: said that he's he's proven, he's he's improved dramatically on 506 00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 1: the defensive end from year one to year two. So like, 507 00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:21,119 Speaker 1: this is a guy for as as entertaining as he 508 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:24,080 Speaker 1: may be in like a postgame press conference situation, like 509 00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:26,960 Speaker 1: this dude is a dog. He's a dog. He gets 510 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:30,560 Speaker 1: after it and any basketball fan and I know y'all 511 00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:34,120 Speaker 1: are like, you love dog. Well, his mentality is it's 512 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 1: so elite, you know. And that's what's so And like 513 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:38,919 Speaker 1: what you're saying, Jack, I think you were saying you 514 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:42,159 Speaker 1: can't fake that confidence, right, and you can tell in 515 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 1: the game that he plays and the words that he speaks. 516 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:46,959 Speaker 1: And I think to your point to what makes this 517 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,240 Speaker 1: series so great is like you have on one side 518 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:54,200 Speaker 1: and saying I'm ready for this, I'm energized by the challenge. 519 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,879 Speaker 1: In fact, I this is all I ever really wanted, 520 00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:58,640 Speaker 1: Like you can tell that's that's where he's coming from. 521 00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,480 Speaker 1: And then the other end you have jaw also saying, yeah, 522 00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:03,480 Speaker 1: that was a good game, but I honestly felt that 523 00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:06,840 Speaker 1: we lost that for ourselves. And so you're putting up 524 00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:10,040 Speaker 1: these two mentalities together and like it's only going to 525 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:13,440 Speaker 1: deliver some of the best competition that you know that 526 00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:15,920 Speaker 1: we've seen it. And we're recording this right before Game 527 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:19,439 Speaker 1: two tips off, so you guys know more about what 528 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:21,520 Speaker 1: happened in this series than us. But there's one thing 529 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,400 Speaker 1: that is not going to change, and that's how excited 530 00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:28,000 Speaker 1: I am about Anthony. One more thing I do want 531 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,240 Speaker 1: to say about Anthony Edwards, and I think you all 532 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:33,359 Speaker 1: said it earlier, just like leading up to like this discussion. 533 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 1: He wants this moment. Like if you if you go 534 00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 1: back to the one year he was at Georgia u 535 00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:43,960 Speaker 1: g A, they weren't good, so he didn't really get 536 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:47,000 Speaker 1: a chance to play in like big time, prime time games, 537 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:50,000 Speaker 1: and this first year in Minnesota, you know, they didn't 538 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,680 Speaker 1: make the playoffs, where some people might be like, all right, 539 00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:54,880 Speaker 1: well I'm a little nervous going into this game, and 540 00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:58,240 Speaker 1: it's naturally feel nerves. You could tell he's not only 541 00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:03,560 Speaker 1: he's not only embracing the moment's right, Yeah, yeah, it's 542 00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:07,000 Speaker 1: it's beautiful to see that. Like the times when they 543 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:10,960 Speaker 1: fall behind or gets close, like that's when you're gonna 544 00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:14,280 Speaker 1: see some ridiculous highlight from him. And also like right 545 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:17,320 Speaker 1: at tip when everybody's amped up, he's just the most 546 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:19,680 Speaker 1: amped up. He's just like the one who's like, all right, 547 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:21,760 Speaker 1: I don't gonna score the first seven points here, hold 548 00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:27,600 Speaker 1: this real quick, what I do? So we we're going 549 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:31,520 Speaker 1: to get some of his postgame greatness a little later on. 550 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:33,640 Speaker 1: Just from the past couple of years, I do want 551 00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:38,360 Speaker 1: to workshop with you guys in just mainlining highlights of him. 552 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:41,320 Speaker 1: Over the course of the past couple of seasons, I 553 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:44,640 Speaker 1: have realized that, um, the I think it's the Minnesota 554 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:48,920 Speaker 1: broadcasting team, but like nobody has quite figured out what 555 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,440 Speaker 1: to say after he does something incredible. They have tried 556 00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:57,360 Speaker 1: to answer deadly, answer deadly, uh, And once even tried 557 00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:02,040 Speaker 1: ants bury they're dead, which is like a cool fact, 558 00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:04,720 Speaker 1: like you ever see ants like going out like Harry 559 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:08,000 Speaker 1: and a fallen soldier and you know sometimes there will 560 00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,000 Speaker 1: be a whole lot of them. I don't know, like, 561 00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,600 Speaker 1: can we workshop something for that? It doesn't need to 562 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:16,960 Speaker 1: be right now, but like you know something right because 563 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:23,440 Speaker 1: it is an ant too small, too fully encapsulate, you know, 564 00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,120 Speaker 1: is that your pa? No, I feel I feel like 565 00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:30,720 Speaker 1: either because I feel like ants are just hard, too 566 00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:36,080 Speaker 1: small to fully encapsulate, and a name too insufficient to 567 00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:40,520 Speaker 1: fully embody all of them that he contains. Just dunked it, 568 00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 1: Like that's too wordy. Ants can lift three hundred times 569 00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:48,840 Speaker 1: their weight, but like that's again too wordy. So if 570 00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:51,480 Speaker 1: it's on the Discovery Channel, that would be amazing. Um, 571 00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:54,479 Speaker 1: you know who we need to consult on this is 572 00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:58,200 Speaker 1: the Charlotte Hornets broadcasting that because they go in every time. 573 00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:01,000 Speaker 1: So I'm trying to like, what could you what could 574 00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:02,680 Speaker 1: you do for Anthony? Ever, so this is why I'm 575 00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:05,440 Speaker 1: not a broad right, something like there are more than 576 00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:08,719 Speaker 1: ten thousand known species of van around the world, but 577 00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:11,600 Speaker 1: the deadly ist just right here in Minnesota. There you go, 578 00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:15,520 Speaker 1: Like that's also worthy? Feel like Jack, we always talk 579 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:17,520 Speaker 1: about how you get mixed up with his name for 580 00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:20,320 Speaker 1: the actor Anthony Edwards from e er So maybe we 581 00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:23,480 Speaker 1: my brand will not hold it. I I like when 582 00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:26,360 Speaker 1: we were talking about him on Zeyke Guys the other 583 00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:30,440 Speaker 1: day and I was like and like I couldn't. I 584 00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:33,400 Speaker 1: couldn't do it because Anthony Edwards. And also I think 585 00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,840 Speaker 1: there's like something with like John Edwards like that, like 586 00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:40,640 Speaker 1: just his name needs to be cooler or something. I 587 00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:43,560 Speaker 1: don't know, like we need to brand him. So like 588 00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:47,240 Speaker 1: somehow Dr Mark Green sent this person to the er 589 00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:51,000 Speaker 1: tom Dr Mark Green the character's name, I don't know. 590 00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:53,320 Speaker 1: And maybe that's too washed of a reference to people, 591 00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:57,120 Speaker 1: like I get that one. My mother would appreciate that reference, 592 00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:59,880 Speaker 1: you know, because she was the biggest e R fan 593 00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:02,840 Speaker 1: that new but natsy. Now you got me thinking about, 594 00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:06,000 Speaker 1: oh my goodness, is that George Clooney on the bench 595 00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:09,040 Speaker 1: because Anthony Edwards has pulled up as his co star. 596 00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:11,760 Speaker 1: You're like the early seasons of You are not many 597 00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:14,000 Speaker 1: people know that George Clooney actually started on her. Like 598 00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:16,360 Speaker 1: now we're getting too worthy. I don't know. Do we 599 00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:18,960 Speaker 1: have to move on from ant Man as the like 600 00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:22,200 Speaker 1: ant Man is a solid heist movie, like if he 601 00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:27,240 Speaker 1: steals it and then dunks it, like yeahtually to ask 602 00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:30,640 Speaker 1: Anthony Edwards. Yeah, I know exactly what were you talking about. 603 00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:33,280 Speaker 1: He just needs He might even just like top of 604 00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:36,520 Speaker 1: the Martin to you because he loves the Irish accent. 605 00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:40,800 Speaker 1: So maybe that's what it is. The anttagonist is that 606 00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:46,360 Speaker 1: that's not good, right, anti easy Buggets, task forces, we'll 607 00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:51,200 Speaker 1: come up with something. We'll come He's deserving. Yeah. My 608 00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:55,520 Speaker 1: favorite moment of this finals is actually from last season 609 00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:58,880 Speaker 1: when when when the Warriors went out in the plan 610 00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:02,840 Speaker 1: and I just want to play Steph's words from from 611 00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:07,600 Speaker 1: that playing tournament, because like we're saying the experience, they're 612 00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:11,640 Speaker 1: like the focus. It's evident. It was evident over one 613 00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:14,640 Speaker 1: year ago. I just didn't go our away. I don't 614 00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:17,720 Speaker 1: know how many different ways to say it, but it's, uh, 615 00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,440 Speaker 1: it's just it was a special year all things considered, 616 00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:22,720 Speaker 1: um in a new experience for me. Draymond a loan. 617 00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:26,160 Speaker 1: Try to make the most of it. Come back, bottle 618 00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:28,600 Speaker 1: this up, everybody make the right strews, take advantage of 619 00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:32,120 Speaker 1: the summer and don't want to see us next year. 620 00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:36,240 Speaker 1: I was at that game. I was at that playing 621 00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:39,240 Speaker 1: game at Chase Center last year and it was lit. 622 00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:42,360 Speaker 1: I wish there was any other words to describe that energy. 623 00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:45,760 Speaker 1: But it was really fun and that's when I totally 624 00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:49,000 Speaker 1: bought it on the play in and the excitement. But yeah, 625 00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:53,040 Speaker 1: step said Marcus words, you don't want to see us 626 00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:55,080 Speaker 1: next year, And I think some people are like, all right, 627 00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:59,520 Speaker 1: bro okay, Sure I would say that too. But then 628 00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:02,880 Speaker 1: even then in March, Draymond was like, we're getting to 629 00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:06,480 Speaker 1: chip in March, you know, and then even and then 630 00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:09,360 Speaker 1: Clay saying it was vibes when they went down to 631 00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:13,600 Speaker 1: one to the Celtics, I was like, oh, Gay, that 632 00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:16,040 Speaker 1: that's where that that like any I think even Clay 633 00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:18,040 Speaker 1: was saying at the at the post game, He's like, 634 00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:22,399 Speaker 1: we've been here, so we're built for it. And that's 635 00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:25,000 Speaker 1: it just comes together like that when you have that experience, 636 00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:28,400 Speaker 1: I mean, having somebody come in like Clay. We we 637 00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:30,520 Speaker 1: still don't know what Clay is gonna look like next year, 638 00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:32,840 Speaker 1: right yeah, right. When when a player comes back halfway 639 00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:36,600 Speaker 1: through the season, like that is never the finished product, 640 00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:39,640 Speaker 1: you know, Like we we saw it with Jordan's when 641 00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:42,200 Speaker 1: he came back from retirement, and like, you know, he 642 00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:45,040 Speaker 1: came back deeper into the season, but people are like, 643 00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:48,800 Speaker 1: well he's washed, uh and you know, they didn't quite 644 00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:51,160 Speaker 1: win it, and so people, I think a lot of 645 00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:55,160 Speaker 1: people forget about that. Like, can you imagine Twitter's response 646 00:34:55,200 --> 00:35:01,399 Speaker 1: to that. You would see m J is washed thread. Yeah, 647 00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:04,239 Speaker 1: that's what they would have done to him. It would 648 00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:07,520 Speaker 1: have been over um for a couple of months, and 649 00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:09,200 Speaker 1: then everyone would have forgotten and he would have been 650 00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:12,680 Speaker 1: the best. And I think that's the benefit of maybe 651 00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:15,719 Speaker 1: not having Twitter culture around back then. It allowed us 652 00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,600 Speaker 1: to be like, look at the magic person who it's 653 00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:21,400 Speaker 1: fantastic that we all love and we can't air our 654 00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:23,840 Speaker 1: weird opinions for everybody to hear unless we're in a 655 00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:29,239 Speaker 1: local sports bar or a barbershop. It's I also think 656 00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:31,720 Speaker 1: I might not want to see them next year, uh 657 00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:35,560 Speaker 1: personally as a as a fan of a different NBA team, 658 00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:39,520 Speaker 1: Maybe not maybe not huge. Um. I do want to say, though, 659 00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:43,480 Speaker 1: you know, I think it's really cute for some hypothetical 660 00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:46,440 Speaker 1: person to pick their favorite clip as something from not 661 00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:51,000 Speaker 1: even this year. Um, but I did wanna pick one 662 00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:53,520 Speaker 1: clip from this year, and this is the backbreaker three 663 00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:58,000 Speaker 1: STEPH hit to put the Warriors up seventy two fifty 664 00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:01,840 Speaker 1: and somebody put together a compilation of all the different 665 00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:06,160 Speaker 1: broadcasts from around the world as they as they react 666 00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:10,680 Speaker 1: to what was a ridiculous shot. Super deep again, just 667 00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:14,120 Speaker 1: like Catch the second it touches his fingers, it's it's up, 668 00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:17,160 Speaker 1: it's in, and they're up twenty two. All of a sudden, Um, 669 00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:26,399 Speaker 1: let's let's let's in French. This is French, that's French. 670 00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:39,719 Speaker 1: They turned around. He said he wants his ranks. Portuguese, Yeah, lean, 671 00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:49,439 Speaker 1: are you taking notes here as a professional broadcast? Absolutely? Korean? Hey, 672 00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:53,600 Speaker 1: that that sounds the same in every language. That's what 673 00:36:53,640 --> 00:37:27,200 Speaker 1: I said. Italians, Chef Pry, I mean yes, point to 674 00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:32,560 Speaker 1: that finger. I think he said. He washed his hands 675 00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:35,279 Speaker 1: after that. In Spanish, I do just want to give 676 00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:38,440 Speaker 1: a shout out to UM the Spanish broadcast, because I 677 00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:41,520 Speaker 1: watched the I I lived in Spain for a month 678 00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:46,040 Speaker 1: during high school. You know, Jack, you lived in Spain, 679 00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:49,000 Speaker 1: all right, Lena, I find a way to bring this 680 00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:52,399 Speaker 1: up every every episode. And let me tell you about Actually, Lena, 681 00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:53,960 Speaker 1: you might want to hear this. I went to Italy 682 00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:57,600 Speaker 1: once was a better place. But so I was there 683 00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:01,000 Speaker 1: during the nineties six finals, the jew in the last finals. 684 00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:06,160 Speaker 1: So I watched every game in the Spanish language. Broadcast, 685 00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:12,360 Speaker 1: and their broadcaster actually narrated every dribble that would happen, 686 00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:15,640 Speaker 1: so every time they dribble, he go beat beep, beep, beep, 687 00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:18,239 Speaker 1: coming up, beep beep, and then he's taking with the beat, 688 00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:21,880 Speaker 1: beat beep all but he just didn't It was like 689 00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:26,799 Speaker 1: he didn't feel comfortable if there was any silence, like 690 00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:31,680 Speaker 1: any air at all. Yeah, you gotta let it breathe 691 00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:35,040 Speaker 1: and that the Spanish broadcast that we just heard did 692 00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:38,120 Speaker 1: a great job, so I feel like they've stepped their 693 00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:42,000 Speaker 1: game up the nation experience. No more beeping, no more beeping. Yeah. 694 00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:45,960 Speaker 1: I do want to just talk about two things with LaMelo, 695 00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:50,600 Speaker 1: both passing related, but I just want to get your 696 00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:53,759 Speaker 1: thoughts on I want to get your thoughts overall on LaMelo. 697 00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:57,400 Speaker 1: But the way he puts spin on a bounce pass 698 00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:01,239 Speaker 1: feels like he's just getting started with like figuring out 699 00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:04,640 Speaker 1: like weird ways to make the ball just like you know, 700 00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:07,720 Speaker 1: head in one direction and skip up into somebody else's 701 00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:09,640 Speaker 1: hands like that you didn't even know the ball was 702 00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:14,360 Speaker 1: headed towards. And then the outlet pass is I feel 703 00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:17,760 Speaker 1: like an art form that is getting better and better 704 00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:20,319 Speaker 1: the past couple of years, Like and he might be 705 00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:23,919 Speaker 1: the best at it with just the touch is like 706 00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:29,360 Speaker 1: he will literally to the last second hold the ball 707 00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:33,400 Speaker 1: and had three defenders committing and then through those three 708 00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:37,960 Speaker 1: still somehow fine the window and not even like going 709 00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:44,680 Speaker 1: through legs or anything like it's there's something Jason Kidd 710 00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:50,600 Speaker 1: made me excited about watching passes Jason Williams. Of course, 711 00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:56,360 Speaker 1: Peyton and Stockton. You know Stockton, of course, but Stockton 712 00:39:56,520 --> 00:40:00,879 Speaker 1: was just more meeting potato. Yeah, I felt very just ha, 713 00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:05,160 Speaker 1: you did not see him over there? I saw. You know, 714 00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:09,480 Speaker 1: a lot of Stockton's success is just oh to Carl 715 00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:12,319 Speaker 1: Malone and Jeff hornesseet knowing how to finish, which is 716 00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:15,200 Speaker 1: what Lamello needs a little bit more because if you 717 00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:19,080 Speaker 1: if he nails that three from what was it last week, 718 00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:21,759 Speaker 1: which is crazy all over the head and then just 719 00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:24,520 Speaker 1: kicks it out to the corner. If that shot is landed, 720 00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:27,839 Speaker 1: then that's like one of his like calling card, like 721 00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:31,319 Speaker 1: that's NBA commercial type whatever. I think it's going to 722 00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:34,719 Speaker 1: be exciting to see him grow. But as is always 723 00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:38,759 Speaker 1: the case, you know in Charlotte, you know, and and 724 00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:41,120 Speaker 1: this is coming from and it's just so you understand 725 00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:44,960 Speaker 1: where my apprehension comes from I am a Cubs fan 726 00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:48,239 Speaker 1: and I am also a Dolphins fan. We know what 727 00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:50,560 Speaker 1: the Dolphins have done in the last twenty five years. 728 00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:57,279 Speaker 1: The Cubs did what they did in sixteen, but since then, 729 00:40:57,320 --> 00:40:59,719 Speaker 1: it's pretty much let every star go for the sake 730 00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:02,800 Speaker 1: of building. And you know, every ownership has a different strategy. 731 00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:06,200 Speaker 1: But you know, it's impossible as a as a fan 732 00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:11,600 Speaker 1: of a franchise that is traditionally only mildly or non competitive, 733 00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:15,560 Speaker 1: to have separation anxiety issues when you get a once 734 00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:21,000 Speaker 1: in a generation player on your roster. So I find 735 00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:27,080 Speaker 1: myself mitigating the excitement about and I and I shouldn't 736 00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:30,880 Speaker 1: do that. I know I shouldn't do that, but I do. 737 00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:33,920 Speaker 1: Don't be afraid to love, right. I love Kimba Walker. 738 00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:37,800 Speaker 1: And how that work out for me? I just I 739 00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:42,799 Speaker 1: just I need a hug. Well here, let's let's let's 740 00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:45,640 Speaker 1: treat our our wounds with just just a little quick 741 00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:51,600 Speaker 1: package of some of Lamello's best passes so far. Okay, 742 00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:56,720 Speaker 1: that's just that's just beauty for the sake of beauty. 743 00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:00,200 Speaker 1: That's just your legs. He went through his leg can 744 00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:05,200 Speaker 1: then flip it up for an alley that right, could 745 00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:08,440 Speaker 1: have just slipped it up. But so this one is 746 00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:13,399 Speaker 1: an underhanded, uh, full court pass that lands in like 747 00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:16,239 Speaker 1: a three inch box. Now that's the spin one that 748 00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:20,080 Speaker 1: I was talking about, which is a full court bounce pass. Uh, 749 00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:23,000 Speaker 1: a full court single bounce pass with English on with 750 00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:26,120 Speaker 1: a lot of English on it that just skip right 751 00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:28,400 Speaker 1: up into the left hand of the person who's about 752 00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:32,759 Speaker 1: to dunk it. Yeah, he he has that vision where 753 00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:36,000 Speaker 1: he knows where everyone is on the court and the 754 00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:40,560 Speaker 1: ability to like drop it into a uh three square 755 00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:43,640 Speaker 1: inch space that is going to make it easiest for 756 00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:46,480 Speaker 1: his teammate to put the ball in the basket. Okay, 757 00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:48,560 Speaker 1: And so then to that point on top of that, 758 00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:51,799 Speaker 1: it's not to me, it's not just court vision. It's 759 00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:55,840 Speaker 1: also oh, I really want to do I want to 760 00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:58,960 Speaker 1: pass it here, but this guy's in the way. What 761 00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:02,759 Speaker 1: could I do to move him? And it could be 762 00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:06,560 Speaker 1: something as slight as dipping the shoulder to insinuate the drive. 763 00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:09,400 Speaker 1: He doesn't even he doesn't even take the first step 764 00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:13,800 Speaker 1: in that direction. He could can he can make defenders commit, 765 00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:17,040 Speaker 1: and he can just sell his body in a way 766 00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:19,360 Speaker 1: that doesn't over commit his ability to do what he 767 00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:21,759 Speaker 1: actually wants to do to like, you know, what his 768 00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:26,520 Speaker 1: actual intentions are in the play, and that's not something 769 00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:31,719 Speaker 1: you see on a regular basis. And you know, I'm 770 00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:33,880 Speaker 1: like every sports fan, you want the good ones to 771 00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:39,080 Speaker 1: stay with your team forever. Traditionally, when you talk about 772 00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:44,040 Speaker 1: the Hornets as a franchise, historically the Hornets are Man, 773 00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:48,319 Speaker 1: we had so and so it's never he was our 774 00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:50,960 Speaker 1: guy and that was the guy. And you know Hornet 775 00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:55,120 Speaker 1: in the best years that it's just man. We used 776 00:43:55,160 --> 00:44:00,160 Speaker 1: to date him. You know, you see somebody famous on 777 00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:05,560 Speaker 1: TV and you madam Man, we behead of chance. Right, 778 00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:10,480 Speaker 1: he didn't work out. Maybe the honest thing sets the 779 00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:14,760 Speaker 1: new template, especially if they, you know, do it again 780 00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:18,400 Speaker 1: this year, like people are going to start being like, yeah, 781 00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:21,919 Speaker 1: you know, maybe we stay where we're at. I think 782 00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:24,319 Speaker 1: the league is better off when you have players as 783 00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:29,440 Speaker 1: electric as Mellow playing for franchises that aren't as always 784 00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:37,000 Speaker 1: regularly discussed honestly low key. I'll put the Hawks kind 785 00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:39,440 Speaker 1: of in that same bucket in a way where they've 786 00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:42,400 Speaker 1: had players and they've been good, and you know, Horford 787 00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:47,240 Speaker 1: and the Gang, like, they've had people. But what Trey 788 00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:50,399 Speaker 1: Young is brought to that franchise, like just just him. 789 00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:55,680 Speaker 1: Just last week they were channing screw Tray Young at 790 00:44:55,680 --> 00:45:01,760 Speaker 1: a Yankees game. They're still so he has gotten under 791 00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:05,640 Speaker 1: the skin of a franchise that they hate him at 792 00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:11,120 Speaker 1: other sporting event, at the game in New York, I 793 00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:15,040 Speaker 1: shot the video. I shot the video at the next 794 00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:18,920 Speaker 1: game last month when when Trey Young told the fan 795 00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:21,440 Speaker 1: to hold that l and then he got it off 796 00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:25,440 Speaker 1: and made a play. He's just he knows how to 797 00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:27,640 Speaker 1: just come up to people and just be I'm gonna 798 00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:32,279 Speaker 1: screw with you. And it touches an entire city, and 799 00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:36,600 Speaker 1: that is great. You know. I think it's not fair 800 00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:40,040 Speaker 1: to compare Atlanta and Charlotte in terms of metropolisan metrics 801 00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:44,120 Speaker 1: and you know, all of the gubernatorial statistics, but Atlanta 802 00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:48,200 Speaker 1: as a franchise, in my opinion, isn't as talked about 803 00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:50,920 Speaker 1: as it should be considering the size of the city, 804 00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:53,839 Speaker 1: considering the size of that market. And Trey Young has 805 00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:56,640 Speaker 1: given them something. I hate the fact that they had 806 00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:59,279 Speaker 1: to play each other this week. Yeah, I hate that. 807 00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:01,560 Speaker 1: I hate the I think because those are two teams 808 00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:04,680 Speaker 1: that you want to see those seven, yeah, you know, 809 00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:07,680 Speaker 1: with each other, you know. So my point is I'm 810 00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:11,600 Speaker 1: excited about LaMelo. I just hope that we don't lose 811 00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:19,399 Speaker 1: him to some super team Voltron transformer situation that that's inevitable. 812 00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:22,160 Speaker 1: You know the point the point guards who are coming 813 00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:25,240 Speaker 1: up right now. Though you got LaMelo, you got Trey, 814 00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:29,680 Speaker 1: and you got jobs like those are the three three 815 00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:33,800 Speaker 1: players that I'm most excited about, because Trey and LaMelo 816 00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:36,520 Speaker 1: in particular, it seemed to be like doing new things 817 00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:40,720 Speaker 1: with geometry. And then joh just seems to have superpowers. 818 00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:45,920 Speaker 1: John just doesn't respect gravity as a physical you know rule, 819 00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:50,239 Speaker 1: and he's another great example, but just a player had 820 00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:54,040 Speaker 1: electric they like he deserves to be revered like that. 821 00:46:54,080 --> 00:46:56,880 Speaker 1: In also love the fact, speaking of the Grizzlies, no 822 00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:58,960 Speaker 1: one told me this, but I like, you haven't found 823 00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:01,120 Speaker 1: out like a random act about a team, you know, 824 00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:04,400 Speaker 1: you know what I approve of that. I didn't know 825 00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:07,600 Speaker 1: that the Grizzlies play Whooped that trick from hustle and 826 00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:13,680 Speaker 1: flow at the games during timeouts like that's they're like 827 00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:18,320 Speaker 1: momentum swing the opponent is called a time out. Like 828 00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:21,280 Speaker 1: you remember in the nineties they would play Gary Glitter 829 00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:28,319 Speaker 1: Rock and Roll Park to the Hey So instead of 830 00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:33,800 Speaker 1: that the Grizzlies play Whooped that trick from a movie 831 00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:36,520 Speaker 1: set in Memphis. It's not even a real person in 832 00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:40,120 Speaker 1: that movie, like this is Hey and it brought it 833 00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:41,920 Speaker 1: brought him an oscar, you know what I mean, Like 834 00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:44,440 Speaker 1: that film brought anstar sown. So you know, I get 835 00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:46,239 Speaker 1: get that. I get that, I get the three six 836 00:47:46,239 --> 00:47:49,040 Speaker 1: Monfia ties to I understand the Nemzis ties. But it's 837 00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:53,719 Speaker 1: just it's just of all the songs you could play, like, 838 00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:56,319 Speaker 1: I wouldn't have guessed that. I wouldn't have chosen that. 839 00:47:56,480 --> 00:48:00,600 Speaker 1: And then I'm shocked that the entire arena it's just 840 00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:09,719 Speaker 1: that trick. And I'm like, y, They're like, Dad, what's 841 00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:11,759 Speaker 1: a trick? They're like, Oh, I don't worry. Worry about it, boy, 842 00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:16,839 Speaker 1: you can tellell around you here. All right, let's take 843 00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:18,839 Speaker 1: a break and let's come back and let's talk about 844 00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:31,879 Speaker 1: the postseason after that. And we're back, and I think 845 00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:34,400 Speaker 1: this is our new tradition is we'd like to close 846 00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:38,360 Speaker 1: out the show with some rapid fire questions with our guests. 847 00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:42,520 Speaker 1: So Sarah, when we ask these questions, just don't even think, 848 00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:47,360 Speaker 1: just react. Give us your answer, and because we just 849 00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:51,200 Speaker 1: want to pick your brain. Uh, and let's start the clock. Now, Jack, 850 00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:52,960 Speaker 1: you may be getting the questioning. We call it a 851 00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:57,200 Speaker 1: lightning round because lightning is fast. So the idea is 852 00:48:57,280 --> 00:49:00,040 Speaker 1: that these are like questions we're gonna ask fast, and 853 00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:03,440 Speaker 1: it's really good when you have to explain it. Yeah. 854 00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:09,120 Speaker 1: So um, just like full background. Uh, just wanted to 855 00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:11,640 Speaker 1: make sure you weren't caught unaware real quick. And so 856 00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:14,160 Speaker 1: now I'm going to ask the question as Miles mentioned 857 00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:16,840 Speaker 1: thirty seconds ago, I'm going for that. Before that, we 858 00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:19,280 Speaker 1: like to mention we like this segment to be so quick. 859 00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:23,080 Speaker 1: You know, there's no reason to draw this out. We 860 00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:24,960 Speaker 1: want this to be super quick so people get a 861 00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:29,560 Speaker 1: lot of information. Really, the segment shot started, I think 862 00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:34,240 Speaker 1: Jordan Pool shot so far right far, So we're thinking quick. 863 00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:37,600 Speaker 1: So take take the far place with quick and the 864 00:49:37,600 --> 00:49:41,640 Speaker 1: way we we go go, which is a line from 865 00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:44,960 Speaker 1: the Dark Knight Dark, which is the joker, says it 866 00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:52,279 Speaker 1: Um and who played him again? Ledger? That's right, And 867 00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:56,600 Speaker 1: what we're doing is balancing the Ledger with some questions. Uh. 868 00:49:56,880 --> 00:50:01,680 Speaker 1: Number one best NBA arena not named. I love Little 869 00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:05,160 Speaker 1: Caesar's Arena, the New Detroit Arena. That's a very good 870 00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:09,920 Speaker 1: one tie. I love the Hornets Arena, Madison Square Garden 871 00:50:10,320 --> 00:50:15,960 Speaker 1: is uh is obviously legendary, but also Little Season. Those 872 00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:18,480 Speaker 1: are just the really good arenas, great places to watch 873 00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:21,640 Speaker 1: a basketball game. Also the Sun's Arena, It's Footprint Center, 874 00:50:21,680 --> 00:50:23,560 Speaker 1: I think is now the name of it, but I 875 00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:27,959 Speaker 1: feel like those are those are very good arenas. Wow, 876 00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:29,719 Speaker 1: I had not I had not heard the thing about 877 00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:35,279 Speaker 1: the Pistons or the someone who loves crazy bread I 878 00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:39,120 Speaker 1: mean say less the thing is also the I don't 879 00:50:39,120 --> 00:50:43,120 Speaker 1: know how or why, but the the Little Caesar's food 880 00:50:43,239 --> 00:50:45,520 Speaker 1: at Little Caesars Arena is better than you'll get it 881 00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:49,839 Speaker 1: anywhere else. They're saving their fast ball up. Speaking of food, 882 00:50:49,920 --> 00:50:52,239 Speaker 1: which arena has the most underrated food? And I know 883 00:50:52,280 --> 00:50:54,360 Speaker 1: you said Little Caesars, so that gets in there, but 884 00:50:54,600 --> 00:50:56,440 Speaker 1: expand on that, please, are there any other place? So 885 00:50:56,480 --> 00:50:59,960 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm I'm speaking to like the media dining, 886 00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:02,960 Speaker 1: which is not going to be the fan experience like 887 00:51:03,040 --> 00:51:07,360 Speaker 1: eating out on the concourse. And so the Houston Rockets 888 00:51:07,520 --> 00:51:10,279 Speaker 1: they've always got like a beautiful charcuterie board in the 889 00:51:10,320 --> 00:51:13,239 Speaker 1: media room and I'm like, oh yes, I would love 890 00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:16,359 Speaker 1: some brie and some like fresh colamado olives, thank you 891 00:51:17,160 --> 00:51:21,719 Speaker 1: WHOA Okay in comparison, right, if Houston's coming with the charcuterie, 892 00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:24,040 Speaker 1: what are you used to usually for your your mediu meal? 893 00:51:24,120 --> 00:51:27,160 Speaker 1: I don't know, like a really dry buffet, chicken breast 894 00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:30,520 Speaker 1: that's just been really overcooked, and then like a hot 895 00:51:30,560 --> 00:51:34,360 Speaker 1: dog that's on a stale bun.

Is there a young 899 00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:48,759 Speaker 1: player who you think next year we're gonna all be 900 00:51:48,840 --> 00:51:52,840 Speaker 1: talking about them on shows like Mad Boosties, which is 901 00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:56,000 Speaker 1: most people's touchstone for lace. You know, NBA content feels 902 00:51:56,040 --> 00:51:58,680 Speaker 1: like a cop out to say, like Evan Mobley, but 903 00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:03,440 Speaker 1: he's oh god, he's so good. I love Evan Mowbley 904 00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:05,520 Speaker 1: and Scotty Barnes, Like those are guys that I am 905 00:52:05,560 --> 00:52:09,200 Speaker 1: absolutely certain are going to be great, So I'm watching them, Okay. 906 00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:13,239 Speaker 1: Next question, ninety six Bulls or the sixteen Warriors in 907 00:52:13,239 --> 00:52:19,520 Speaker 1: a series Bulls. Two players from the nineties you'd love 908 00:52:19,560 --> 00:52:23,719 Speaker 1: to see in today's game Dennis Rod and Larry Bird. 909 00:52:24,840 --> 00:52:29,319 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I like, I love that answer. I love. 910 00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:33,800 Speaker 1: I want a guy who doesn't need to be provoked 911 00:52:33,880 --> 00:52:39,080 Speaker 1: to punch someone, like he's he comes into the game 912 00:52:39,160 --> 00:52:41,920 Speaker 1: in a good mood and thinks I might punch someone tonight. 913 00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:45,160 Speaker 1: Turn this up. Yeah, And and also like I just 914 00:52:45,239 --> 00:52:48,520 Speaker 1: think those guys could play in any Arab basketball. Yeah. 915 00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:52,359 Speaker 1: Robin is such a good example of like the kind 916 00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:55,879 Speaker 1: of Draymond thing and like, you know people underrated thing 917 00:52:56,040 --> 00:52:58,400 Speaker 1: that I think we saw a little bit in the 918 00:52:58,480 --> 00:53:01,680 Speaker 1: like last dance. But how much studying he does on 919 00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:05,480 Speaker 1: like energy merchant watching the ball hits the room with 920 00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:11,560 Speaker 1: those ing ing ing ing ing ing ing exactly. Uh. 921 00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:14,680 Speaker 1: And finally, you can fill Utah's coaching void bit of 922 00:53:14,719 --> 00:53:18,640 Speaker 1: a thought experiment with any available candidate. What direction you're 923 00:53:18,680 --> 00:53:21,280 Speaker 1: going in? You like in a D'Antoni of vocal stocks 924 00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:23,719 Speaker 1: and assistant? What do you do? There's two different ways 925 00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:25,560 Speaker 1: to answer this question, right. It's like, if I am 926 00:53:25,800 --> 00:53:28,960 Speaker 1: GM and I'm running the ship, what am I doing? 927 00:53:29,320 --> 00:53:31,439 Speaker 1: Or what do I think is best for the people 928 00:53:31,480 --> 00:53:34,000 Speaker 1: that are already in those positions. If I'm running, it 929 00:53:34,080 --> 00:53:37,359 Speaker 1: can't say Miles or me. You can't say if I'm 930 00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:41,400 Speaker 1: running everything, the first thing I'm doing is just blowing 931 00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:45,640 Speaker 1: it up, like I I'm I'm trading everyone I'm bringing 932 00:53:45,719 --> 00:53:48,840 Speaker 1: on like expiring contracts and just like trying to stockpile 933 00:53:48,920 --> 00:53:51,560 Speaker 1: assets because I don't think that they can get better 934 00:53:51,640 --> 00:53:56,160 Speaker 1: through trading right now. And um, in that case, then 935 00:53:56,200 --> 00:53:58,480 Speaker 1: I want someone that's going to do really well for 936 00:53:58,840 --> 00:54:01,200 Speaker 1: young players. And so I wouldn't have waited so long, 937 00:54:01,280 --> 00:54:05,000 Speaker 1: and I would have got Kenny Atkinson. And but now 938 00:54:05,080 --> 00:54:06,960 Speaker 1: that that doesn't seem like it's a choice, I kind 939 00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:11,359 Speaker 1: of think that bus Dale would be really good. Yeah, 940 00:54:11,960 --> 00:54:13,920 Speaker 1: that's one. I thought you were going to say you'd 941 00:54:13,960 --> 00:54:16,120 Speaker 1: blow it up so that you could move them to 942 00:54:16,239 --> 00:54:21,200 Speaker 1: a different market, like the owner from the movie Major League. 943 00:54:21,440 --> 00:54:24,480 Speaker 1: But that's also a good strategy. I like that. All Right, 944 00:54:24,719 --> 00:54:27,279 Speaker 1: well you have you have passed our lightning round. I 945 00:54:27,360 --> 00:54:29,720 Speaker 1: know you probably like didn't even realize that had started 946 00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:36,319 Speaker 1: so quickly, didn't. Um, he told you real quick, all right, 947 00:54:36,360 --> 00:54:38,520 Speaker 1: And then we gotta do we gotta do the Lakers. 948 00:54:39,640 --> 00:54:41,680 Speaker 1: I mean, we got to this is this is a 949 00:54:41,760 --> 00:54:45,160 Speaker 1: play that had me and my dad running out my 950 00:54:45,360 --> 00:54:49,960 Speaker 1: house and into the street Western Conference Finals against the 951 00:54:50,080 --> 00:54:53,400 Speaker 1: Kings Lakers down to one in the series, down to 952 00:54:54,040 --> 00:54:58,120 Speaker 1: Kobe's got it and he takes it to the rack 953 00:54:59,239 --> 00:55:04,040 Speaker 1: um miss his check gets point blank. Uh mrs mrs 954 00:55:04,080 --> 00:55:10,200 Speaker 1: the layoup and then beautiful assist from Vladi Diva picks 955 00:55:10,239 --> 00:55:13,640 Speaker 1: it out to you. Robert. Yeah, let's just let's relive 956 00:55:13,719 --> 00:55:17,400 Speaker 1: this wonderful moment. Let's seven second. Kobe takes it in 957 00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:28,640 Speaker 1: rush shack. Good, look at you. Rob's so locked in, 958 00:55:28,760 --> 00:55:34,719 Speaker 1: you're not even You're not even showing teeth. I'll move 959 00:55:34,760 --> 00:55:37,360 Speaker 1: against Christie for the right foot shot. I don't need 960 00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:49,000 Speaker 1: blank open right. Cue that music and that iconic celebration 961 00:55:49,120 --> 00:55:53,360 Speaker 1: two hands behind the back. Yeah, don't put that in 962 00:55:53,400 --> 00:55:58,520 Speaker 1: the right handed risks, don't You're right? You know. The 963 00:55:58,560 --> 00:56:00,279 Speaker 1: funny thing about this shot is there you want to 964 00:56:00,280 --> 00:56:02,400 Speaker 1: see it. They get goose bus. But the best, the 965 00:56:02,520 --> 00:56:05,399 Speaker 1: best view of the shots from overhead when you see 966 00:56:05,440 --> 00:56:07,640 Speaker 1: the whole arena and rupt at the same time, and 967 00:56:07,680 --> 00:56:11,120 Speaker 1: then you see the ball boy Dante uh streak across 968 00:56:11,160 --> 00:56:12,960 Speaker 1: the floor and it's it was. It was such a 969 00:56:13,040 --> 00:56:15,120 Speaker 1: fantastic one because when you're growing up a Laker fan, 970 00:56:15,680 --> 00:56:19,040 Speaker 1: huge Magic Johnson fan man, and you know, watching the 971 00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:22,040 Speaker 1: Lakers play and watching them back when I was you know, 972 00:56:22,200 --> 00:56:24,160 Speaker 1: coming out of college and I saw magic pull it 973 00:56:24,239 --> 00:56:26,399 Speaker 1: sound like, oh no, they're not gonna win to get board. 974 00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:28,799 Speaker 1: You know, so many different moments and you be able 975 00:56:28,800 --> 00:56:30,480 Speaker 1: to do that in a lake of uniform. Not just 976 00:56:30,600 --> 00:56:32,800 Speaker 1: in the Lake of uniform, but at home in the 977 00:56:32,880 --> 00:56:36,160 Speaker 1: Staples Center in front of our fans, because it's not 978 00:56:36,400 --> 00:56:39,520 Speaker 1: very many moments as a Laker playing with Toby Shock 979 00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:41,200 Speaker 1: you get to get the fans a chance your name. 980 00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:44,200 Speaker 1: But you know, for me that that was the best, 981 00:56:44,440 --> 00:56:46,960 Speaker 1: you know, six months of my life after hitting that 982 00:56:47,080 --> 00:56:49,200 Speaker 1: shot mine, I didn't pay for anything in l AFT. 983 00:56:50,520 --> 00:56:55,080 Speaker 1: I went to Vegas.

I'm sure, yeah, just a little bit, uh, Because, 986 00:57:04,360 --> 00:57:07,239 Speaker 1: like I said, I've that moment just for me on 987 00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:11,480 Speaker 1: a personal level, right, it was so intense. We knew 988 00:57:11,560 --> 00:57:14,680 Speaker 1: what was on the line there and when that shot 989 00:57:14,760 --> 00:57:18,400 Speaker 1: went in, Like again, the appropriate response was either jump 990 00:57:18,480 --> 00:57:20,280 Speaker 1: up and down or just run away from the TV 991 00:57:20,400 --> 00:57:22,560 Speaker 1: screen because I can't believe what I just saw. And 992 00:57:22,720 --> 00:57:24,720 Speaker 1: I remember my dad and I we both at the 993 00:57:24,760 --> 00:57:26,480 Speaker 1: same time like we have to get out of here 994 00:57:26,520 --> 00:57:28,520 Speaker 1: because we just need to scream this out in the street. 995 00:57:28,920 --> 00:57:30,480 Speaker 1: And it was funny because I would see other people 996 00:57:30,480 --> 00:57:32,960 Speaker 1: in the neighborhood also got out of their house because 997 00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:35,040 Speaker 1: they were like you after you hit the shot that like, 998 00:57:35,080 --> 00:57:37,600 Speaker 1: I gotta run towards the bench whatever that is and 999 00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:40,520 Speaker 1: just be like, come on, everybody was out. So yes, 1000 00:57:41,120 --> 00:57:44,120 Speaker 1: what a like such a poignant moment in memory for me. 1001 00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:48,000 Speaker 1: So there are very few game winning, actual buzzer beaters 1002 00:57:48,480 --> 00:57:51,960 Speaker 1: that changed who the champion was that season like that, 1003 00:57:52,360 --> 00:57:55,840 Speaker 1: that shot doesn't go in. The Lakers are down three one, 1004 00:57:56,280 --> 00:57:59,200 Speaker 1: like you guys go on to win the you know 1005 00:58:00,040 --> 00:58:02,280 Speaker 1: the thing. People always say, oh, we're down three one, 1006 00:58:02,600 --> 00:58:06,120 Speaker 1: and I was. I was on a team and the 1007 00:58:06,280 --> 00:58:09,680 Speaker 1: five he wanted the Phoenix. Un he can't run back 1008 00:58:09,720 --> 00:58:12,479 Speaker 1: to beat them. And you see what Lebron did lately, 1009 00:58:12,680 --> 00:58:14,680 Speaker 1: you know, his Golden State down for you once. So 1010 00:58:14,720 --> 00:58:16,360 Speaker 1: when I tell people that, oh, if y'all went down 1011 00:58:16,440 --> 00:58:18,840 Speaker 1: three one, you talk when the Kings, you might not 1012 00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:21,360 Speaker 1: want to eight. You can't. Like Rudy t said, it 1013 00:58:21,440 --> 00:58:23,760 Speaker 1: best never undance to make the heart of the champion. 1014 00:58:23,800 --> 00:58:28,680 Speaker 1: When you got black moment and the big Diesel anything probable, right, 1015 00:58:30,240 --> 00:58:32,240 Speaker 1: you know he were Momba at the time, but you 1016 00:58:32,280 --> 00:58:35,160 Speaker 1: know he was still Kobe Bryant, right right, it was 1017 00:58:35,200 --> 00:58:37,840 Speaker 1: really great and that I'm just curious and that and 1018 00:58:37,920 --> 00:58:39,920 Speaker 1: not one shot against the Magic right you shot that 1019 00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:42,080 Speaker 1: over Horace Grant, who you ended up being teammates with 1020 00:58:42,200 --> 00:58:44,280 Speaker 1: and obviously playing with shock. Did you was there any 1021 00:58:44,320 --> 00:58:47,640 Speaker 1: ever discussion like once you guys like after that, did 1022 00:58:47,680 --> 00:58:49,720 Speaker 1: you ever reminisce about that moment at or just something 1023 00:58:49,800 --> 00:58:51,520 Speaker 1: that you're like, don't I know that was rough for you, 1024 00:58:51,560 --> 00:58:54,480 Speaker 1: but hey, we gotta chip together, so it's all you get. 1025 00:58:54,560 --> 00:58:56,520 Speaker 1: There were three guys on that team from that Magic 1026 00:58:56,600 --> 00:58:59,600 Speaker 1: team that we swept. Let me put that out there, 1027 00:58:59,640 --> 00:59:05,000 Speaker 1: like the we swell in the finals, Paul Brian Shaw O'Neil, 1028 00:59:05,560 --> 00:59:08,000 Speaker 1: so you know, sweeping no guys with so much fun. 1029 00:59:08,800 --> 00:59:10,400 Speaker 1: But I used to talk a little trash and not 1030 00:59:10,480 --> 00:59:12,200 Speaker 1: I mean about I said, y'all, y'all know what the 1031 00:59:12,280 --> 00:59:15,320 Speaker 1: deal is. Y'all see that closed personal. But I talked 1032 00:59:15,360 --> 00:59:17,800 Speaker 1: too much trash because I didn't want them to think 1033 00:59:17,840 --> 00:59:19,880 Speaker 1: about that. So when we went into the finals that 1034 00:59:19,960 --> 00:59:22,040 Speaker 1: they'd be like, oh man, the last time was in 1035 00:59:22,160 --> 00:59:25,040 Speaker 1: the here together we got swept by Robert always Brocket. 1036 00:59:28,960 --> 00:59:32,200 Speaker 1: Oh man, um when Vlada said that that was a 1037 00:59:32,280 --> 00:59:34,440 Speaker 1: lucky shot. I mean, maybe he was mad that he 1038 00:59:34,520 --> 00:59:36,360 Speaker 1: hits you with one of the greatest assists of all 1039 00:59:36,440 --> 00:59:39,080 Speaker 1: time as a Laker, But can we just play that 1040 00:59:39,360 --> 00:59:42,200 Speaker 1: clip because it's one of the great clapp backs. So 1041 00:59:42,440 --> 00:59:46,640 Speaker 1: this is why saying post games very hurt, very hurt. 1042 00:59:47,800 --> 00:59:49,680 Speaker 1: We get it. This is it was a tough one. 1043 00:59:49,880 --> 00:59:51,440 Speaker 1: Ever make that shot. You know, that's a lot of 1044 00:59:51,520 --> 00:59:53,800 Speaker 1: lots of shot. It's just like luck it shot the Sultan. 1045 00:59:54,120 --> 00:59:57,840 Speaker 1: You don't need to have a skills or something. You know, Yeah, 1046 00:59:58,120 --> 01:00:01,360 Speaker 1: that kind of situation just throy it. Then it goes in, 1047 01:00:01,520 --> 01:00:05,080 Speaker 1: goes either. Property was saying that it was basically just 1048 01:00:05,160 --> 01:00:07,320 Speaker 1: a luck shot. That situation just have to throw it up. 1049 01:00:07,480 --> 01:00:09,720 Speaker 1: Wasn't luck or was there more to it? When no 1050 01:00:09,840 --> 01:00:11,880 Speaker 1: luck shout? I've been doing that for all my career, 1051 01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:14,040 Speaker 1: so he should he should know he better read uh 1052 01:00:14,360 --> 01:00:22,120 Speaker 1: reading paper or something, reading paper or something. I love 1053 01:00:22,200 --> 01:00:26,160 Speaker 1: the confidence and that's again the confidence. Funny story behind that. 1054 01:00:26,440 --> 01:00:30,120 Speaker 1: You know, at the time, I was mad at ESPN 1055 01:00:30,240 --> 01:00:33,080 Speaker 1: because they had wrote an article about someone. I don't 1056 01:00:33,120 --> 01:00:37,440 Speaker 1: remember the exact details, but I've a I've always been 1057 01:00:37,480 --> 01:00:40,560 Speaker 1: a big compoinment any time there's something bad to happen 1058 01:00:40,680 --> 01:00:43,200 Speaker 1: happens with an athlete, you want to post it all 1059 01:00:43,280 --> 01:00:46,400 Speaker 1: over your show. But any times something great off the 1060 01:00:46,480 --> 01:00:49,200 Speaker 1: court happens, you never talked about that, so I was 1061 01:00:49,400 --> 01:00:52,680 Speaker 1: I was mad about something. So that's why I kind 1062 01:00:52,720 --> 01:00:55,160 Speaker 1: of paused, like that you should watch ESPN or something. 1063 01:00:55,200 --> 01:00:56,680 Speaker 1: But I said, that's why I said, read the paper 1064 01:00:57,000 --> 01:00:59,640 Speaker 1: because I didn't want to get any love. So it 1065 01:00:59,760 --> 01:01:03,440 Speaker 1: got to back then, But it was funny. That's why 1066 01:01:03,480 --> 01:01:06,320 Speaker 1: I said, read the paper. And that was like that 1067 01:01:06,440 --> 01:01:09,760 Speaker 1: proper was literally the last next to Parker last year, 1068 01:01:09,800 --> 01:01:12,880 Speaker 1: the next to last year. When papers are we're in 1069 01:01:13,040 --> 01:01:16,600 Speaker 1: print because that's everything with digital that makes it a 1070 01:01:16,680 --> 01:01:19,560 Speaker 1: classic lines that makes it. And I like that you 1071 01:01:19,640 --> 01:01:22,040 Speaker 1: didn't fumble that clap back is that you were very 1072 01:01:22,640 --> 01:01:24,720 Speaker 1: uh intentionally saying, well, I'm not gonna show you just 1073 01:01:24,800 --> 01:01:26,960 Speaker 1: being love or like I'm not gonna show this network love. 1074 01:01:27,160 --> 01:01:30,000 Speaker 1: Uh read a paper. There we go. I got it, 1075 01:01:31,240 --> 01:01:35,520 Speaker 1: double double burn. All right.
