73
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 3: if I guess that's true. We're just all about firing

74
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 3: it off. But the moment my eight year old found

Speaker 5: Does he have a brother who was a middle school

161
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,239
Speaker 5: teacher in Los Angeles or middle school summer school teacher

162
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 5: in Los Angeles? And uh, you know, I I hope

163
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 5: it wasn't a lie. He didn't seem like the type

164
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 5: of guy who lied. He in fact, you know, his

165
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 5: trans Atlantic accent did seem real. I don't think he

166
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 5: was putting it on, but just him saying his brother

167
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:35,719
Speaker 5: was uh, you know.

168
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 2: What's that? And that was all I needed, no exactly,

169
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 2: and I was like, oh man, that's cool.

170
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 5: And then I just you know, started started watching, uh,

171
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 5: the Lakers more more so than ever because I felt

172
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 5: like I had a connection to them because of the tables.

173
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 1: You's weird brother, even though he had this like Kennedy

174
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 1: esque accent. It's because Eldon Campbell is from Inglewood.

175
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:08,559
Speaker 2: Are you speaking in Inglewood? Yeah?

176
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 5: Like maybe they just maybe that's just like a you

177
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 5: know somewhere in Inglewood there's like a just a one

178
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:20,079
Speaker 5: hood in which everyone's like we speak like Mulgan Freeman Gardens.

179
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm from the wood, the seven Acre Wood. It's

180
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 2: a blesstery day. It's a blustery day in the Christopher Robin. Yeah.

181
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 5: I also actually, you know, if you look at like

182
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 5: career stats for Elton Campbell, like he's not bad, you know,

183
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 5: he just was. He didn't get respect because you know,

184
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 5: eventually they had a better center.

185
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, but he was.

186
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 3: A standout in Bulls versus Lakers the Sega Genesis game.

187
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 3: He had like a signature move. There were a handful

188
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 3: of players who had signature moves. Jordan would go down

189
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 3: the lane, do the right hand to left hand layup.

190
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 3: Magic would go down the lane. It was always going

191
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:09,319
Speaker 3: down the lane. It was just like you get in

192
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 3: one position, headed towards the basket, hit the right combination

193
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 3: of buttons and they would get one. But his was

194
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 3: just like a reverse dunk near the basket. I think, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

195
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 3: yeah yeah.

196
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 5: If you look closely, like in the background of the game,

197
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 5: in the crowd, you can see his brother the middle,

198
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 5: mister Campbell going teja abuse abuse.

199
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 3: He sounds like somebody who would be like, oh, you

200
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,559
Speaker 3: did a sports ball Tevin Eldon.

201
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 2: Yeah.

202
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've had the line. I've had the line saying

203
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 3: goodbye like Tevin Campbell in my head since we started

204
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 3: talking about Elden Campbell for some reason.

205
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 2: It's a wood tang layer.

206
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 1: I remember though, too, when Eldon went to the Pistons

207
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 1: and we faced them off in the two thousand and four.

208
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 2: Finals, which we did not win unfortunately. I know.

209
00:10:56,360 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 1: I remember he put in quite a shift against our deer, Shakiel,

210
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 1: and that was a bit of a bitter pill to

211
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 1: swallow also, but I.

212
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:12,199
Speaker 5: Was glad to see Eldon get a get a ring, yeah,

213
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 5: you know, and not not on the lake, you know,

214
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 5: just like be like, hey, take that shack.

215
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 2: I think you're so good, you know what I mean?

216
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 2: Do you think he's so so so good.

217
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, because we traded away for him. But in ninety

218
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 1: nine and that's when, like, is that when Glenn Rice.

219
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 5: Came Yeah ninety nine, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. He

220
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 5: was on that first Lakers championship team and I was like, yeah.

221
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 2: We go, you're the reason baby.

222
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, we shipped out Eddie Jones and Eldon Campbell, which

223
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: was very very difficult for me as a big Eddie

224
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 1: Jones fan to see.

225
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 5: But yeah, and Eddie Jones was another one. He was

226
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 5: almost on the list too, But I felt like, you know,

227
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 5: maybe too many Lakers. Yeah, you know, we can't have

228
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 5: every single Laker Laker.

229
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:09,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know Kurt Rambis del Harris, he's the coach.

230
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, if I want to talk about him too. Look,

231
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 2: can we just talk about Dell?

232
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:16,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, what great, great gray hair. Yet Shack, I think

233
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: is an obvious choice.

234
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 2: Obvious choice.

235
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 3: You're also getting too Shaq and Kobe before anybody else.

236
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 3: This is our second nineties player run through, so.

237
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,079
Speaker 2: No one else did check and Kobe just well we've

238
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 2: only done one week.

239
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, worth of the nineties player look back.

240
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,079
Speaker 5: Well, I'm glad because I feel like those two are

241
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 5: obscure choices you know, like, yeah, for sure, people really remember,

242
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 5: you know, back in the day, there was this you know,

243
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 5: yeah three peat championship team called the Los Angeles Lakers.

244
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 3: But the Eldon Campbell competition is out of control.

245
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 2: Everyone. Everyone's people are canceling.

246
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 3: Now that they've heard that Eldon Campbell is off the board.

247
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, sorry, they want to talk about Eldon Biggie the

248
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 1: big baby Lakers, Shaq. I mean what, so between Shaq

249
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 1: and Kobe did like a Kobe guy, you're a Kobe guy.

250
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 2: Yeah.

251
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 5: I always felt like because Kobe, you know, uh, he

252
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 5: never he didn't get no respect.

253
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 1: That's what I felt about Kobe Rodney Dangerfield of the NBA.

254
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 5: He was, he really was, and uh, you know, I

255
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 5: felt like Shaq was such a you know, uh he

256
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,559
Speaker 5: was a behemoth. You know, he was like, uh, not

257
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 5: just a franchise player, but like an NBA superstar. And

258
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:36,199
Speaker 5: Kobe was too, of course obviously, but they were always,

259
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 5: uh you know, it was always like Shack greatest you know,

260
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 5: center of all time. And uh this is like early on,

261
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 5: before you know, Kobe proved himself to be one of

262
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:47,959
Speaker 5: the greatest basketball players of all time.

263
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 3: I feel like Shaq was as famous when he was

264
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 3: with the Magic as he was when he was with

265

Speaker 1: Michael Jordan taking up all the oxygen, like having a

298

Speaker 5: you know a few years. He had gone to the

315
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 5: finals with the Magic but he had not won a ring.

316
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 5: He was beaten by uh you know, like better centers. Yeah, yeah,

317
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 5: and still he was like this big superstar. So when

318
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 5: he went to the Lakers, I was like, this is cool.

319
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 5: But also, you know, all y'all are bandwagon. I've loved

320
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 5: the Lakers ever since. My middle school teacher. Teacher was

321
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 5: Elton Campbell's brother.

322
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 2: He was tall, Yeah, very tall. That was the other

323
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 2: thing that I believe that. So I'm gonna I'm gonna

324
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 2: believe it.

325
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 5: And I also was like, Eldon is a is you know,

326
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 5: this guy is a weird accent. But Eldon does seem

327
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 5: like the type of name you would have if your

328
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 5: whole fans would name yeah, yes, like a transit Atlantic accent.

329
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 5: Family would name their kid elder, right and so yeah,

330
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 5: so I was always like, you know, Kobe doesn't get respect,

331
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 5: Like everyone's buying shock albums. Nobody's buying thug poetry. And

332
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 5: I was like, you know, he's a he's not a

333
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 5: great rapper, but he can rap an Italian?

334
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 2: Why do people not respect this guy? Whe that he

335
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:30,959
Speaker 2: won the dunk contest? You know? Uh?

336
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 3: And then when the dunk contest did, did.

337
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 2: Kobe not win the dunk contest? And crazy? I thought

338
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,440
Speaker 2: he did? That was like his second or first?

339
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 3: Yeah?

340
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 2: I thought he did, like the first first year?

341
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 5: How is that more? Nyen that he it was iconic?

342
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 5: He he uh, he has like his what was his move?

343
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 5: It was oh man, it's been so long, but it

344
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 5: was like, he definitely dunked the ball good.

345
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 3: I remember, all right, to make sure he dunked the

346
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 3: ball good.

347
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 2: Here's a refresher for Kobe's dunk contest in ninety ninety.

348
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 1: So the thing that I remember was that he wore

349
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:11,399
Speaker 1: his shooting shirt for it, which was very like, oh, okay,

350
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 1: we like that.

351
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 2: And I remember wanting a shooting shirts. Eighteen years old

352
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 2: six six yeah, yeah, okay.

353
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 3: It's eighteen years old. Here's this but us he got

354
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 3: second year.

355
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:29,880
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, eighteen years old, his second year exactly. Ooh

356
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 2: went down between.

357
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 3: His legs and got them were his shooting shirt the

358
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:35,639
Speaker 3: whole time.

359
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:40,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I feel like that casual casual casual.

360
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 3: Also kind of a mistake because why why is this

361
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 3: not more iconic?

362
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 2: You say, a mistake, but you know, but he didn't win.

363
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 2: The shooting shirt comes off. Oh dude, then they'll do

364
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 2: it one more time.

365
00:18:55,920 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, and then flext No, but the show, his

366
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 5: last one I think was, oh yeah, Brandy's in the audience.

367
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 2: Is important. That's what.

368
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 3: He took Brandy to the prom right, he did take that.

369
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 2: He did, he took Brandy to the prompt. And then

370
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:18,159
Speaker 2: what was this one? He tried to go for a

371
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:19,359
Speaker 2: bounce between the legs.

372
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 5: That's a good gab him.

373
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 2: That that was I don't want to see that replay

374
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 2: is not nice. First all right, so here's the last

375
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,120
Speaker 2: one we saw. We saw Michael Finley.

376
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 5: Already definitely like the most iconic one and yeah, oh yeah,

377
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 5: this is like pumped back.

378
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah. So he he.

379
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 5: Proved himself to be athletically like one of the greatest.

380
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:49,639
Speaker 5: And then you know, everyone just called him a ballhog

381
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:53,120
Speaker 5: for his first like three four years in the NBA,

382
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 5: which was true. You know, he averaged five steals from

383
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 5: his teammates. Yeah it's not just brow, Yeah, but it was.

384
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 2: But no, but you could see that belief in him too.

385
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 1: I remember like one of the playoff series against the

386
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 1: Jazz and he was throwing up so many shots that

387
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,679
Speaker 1: I was like, dude, relax, like, yeah, you aren't the

388
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 1: answer to this right now. But you could tell that,

389
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:21,119
Speaker 1: like that turned into what Kobe then became, which is

390
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 1: like that real self belief in himself and be like

391
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:24,919
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not serious.

392
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm not joking.

393
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 1: I will I will negate every contribution from this other

394
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 1: team by myself if I had to.

395
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 2: And yeah, that was a thing that was a little bit.

396
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: I remember being frustrated as a young fan because it

397
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 1: just didn't feel like it his belief was matching what

398
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 1: was showing up on the court.

399
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:45,440
Speaker 2: But then when those things were reconciled, Yeah, and once.

400
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 5: Everything started to come together, once they were running the triangle,

401
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:53,920
Speaker 5: once they you know, got uh Phil Jackson immediately were

402
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 5: winning championships, and he was still you know, people were

403
00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:01,639
Speaker 5: still you know, talking track and I was like, you're wrong,

404
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 5: Kobe's Jordan. And then like Lebron James came out in

405
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:07,679
Speaker 5: two thousand and three and I was like.

406
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 2: Whoa Kobe?

407
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:13,440
Speaker 1: I still hate Jordans, I still don't like Lebron from

408
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:14,680
Speaker 1: just that, because.

409
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 5: From people trying to shift the focus away from my

410
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:18,360
Speaker 5: man Kobe.

411
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 3: And this is a this is for people who don't

412
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 3: live in La. This is how most Lakers fans at least.

413
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 2: Yeah.

414
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 3: A sickness that most Lakers fans have is they are

415
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 3: they resent that Lebron came to the Lakers and won

416
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:34,360
Speaker 3: a championship.

417
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:35,920
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, hurt.

418
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 3: They're like, I hate this guy, like he's just here,

419
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 3: he just wants to win one with our jersey on

420
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 3: they Yeah. Lakers fans coined the term Mickey Mouse branding

421
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 3: for Disneyland.

422
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 2: All we don't like this guy.

423
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,479
Speaker 3: A question that just occurred to me about Shack because

424
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 3: arguably he went into the profession where the thing that

425
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 3: is most notable about him is the least remarkable, which

426
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:09,439
Speaker 3: is like he's around other people who are huge and

427
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:14,399
Speaker 3: he like makes them look small by comparison, like Shack is.

428
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 3: I don't think people understand how big Shack is and

429
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 3: you're just huge in every direction. Do we think he

430
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 3: would have had a like he would have been world

431
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 3: famous if he just like never picked up a basketball,

432
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,639
Speaker 3: because look at this big guy. He would be a

433
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:40,120
Speaker 3: big guy who's like incredibly like charismatic and cool and like.

434
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 1: Yes, wait so in this alternate universe, where where does

435
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 1: he what's his path?

436
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 3: You still I don't know if he goes to LSU,

437
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 3: but like, wwe maybe, oh.

438
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:56,120
Speaker 5: Interesting, I could see him being like a Andre the Giant.

439
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 5: The Giant people by the way, forget how big Andre

440
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 5: the Giant was. He's another one.

441
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:02,400
Speaker 2: Yeah.

442
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 5: It was like you when you think he's a giant,

443
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 5: he's just like, ah, there's giants in the NBA.

444
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:08,160
Speaker 2: No, He's like Jack.

445
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 3: He's like, yeah, watch hold can coke and have your

446
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:13,959
Speaker 3: mind blown.

447
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:18,920
Speaker 5: Right Yeah yeah, I'm just every finger is the size

448
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:19,880
Speaker 5: of a two liter bot.

449
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 2: You know, you're just like what the hell? Yeah?

450
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 5: But yeah no, he was like always uh, one of

451
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 5: those guys who I think people you know, you saw

452
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 5: him as kind of freak, you know what I mean.

453
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,199
Speaker 5: It was just like damn, this guy is huge. But

454
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,640
Speaker 5: what made him amazing was the quick dude.

455
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 2: He was fast.

456
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, crazy. Yeah, he would have wanted you would

457
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 3: have wanted him doing something athletic. Maybe maybe in this scenario,

458
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 3: he's just like the world's greatest NFL something or other.

459
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:53,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh my god, did you imagine someone like that?

460
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,920
Speaker 3: All he played center in the NFL like whatever team,

461
00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 3: like the people rushing behind him. Yeah, but you think

462
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 3: the push push is effective with with.

463
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 1: Like normal people, like an actual linebacker. You're like, yeah, yeah,

464
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:13,120
Speaker 1: don't throw it to me over over the middle. But alone,

465
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 1: you would literally kill people. Yeah, people would have died.

466
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:22,440
Speaker 2: Oh shake heel, how she adore you? All right? Shall

467
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 2: we take a quick break?

468
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:25,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's take a quick break and then we're gonna

469
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 3: tilt our eyes over toward Uh that's where the Olympic

470
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 3: is happening.

471
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 2: We'll be right back and we're back. I've tilted my eyes.

472
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:48,399
Speaker 2: I was.

473
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 3: I was running through what my inner monologue is going

474
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:53,919
Speaker 3: to be tonight as I'm trying to go to sleep.

475
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 2: Our eyes, our eyes, How do you even do that?

476
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:05,640
Speaker 2: Why do I do this? Such an idiot? Honey, honey?

477
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,400
Speaker 2: Does this make sense? Let's chilt our eyes over this way?

478
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 2: What not getting out of never mind saying something?

479
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:18,119
Speaker 5: Everyone says, it's actually super poetic normal it was poet

480
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 5: Kobet's album.

481
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,880
Speaker 3: Was that really the name of his album. All right,

482
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 3: that's what we need to do for one of our

483
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:26,880
Speaker 3: summer episodes.

484
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's not great, man, I mean because that's

485
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 2: description of you.

486
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:42,920
Speaker 3: Kobe Bryant, I know, I know neither ig nor poet

487
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 3: much projections of things he like wanted to be. Yeah, yeah,

488
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 3: he's like, it would be a good Tupac album name.

489
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,199
Speaker 2: Why didn't I just do it? I just make that

490
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:56,880
Speaker 2: the name of my album? What about this thug mansion?

491
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 2: That's a man. Yeah.

492
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 3: Tismos shout out to him though, for what what he

493
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 3: did for Lebron's game in the Olympics by being on

494
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 3: the same team with him and just showing them how

495
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 3: hard you have to work to be like a evolutionary

496
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 3: player and then like, you know, like somebody who's like

497
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,440
Speaker 3: it moves the game forward.

498
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 2: Right, And Lebron and a.

499
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 3: Lot of the players from that generation talk about being

500
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 3: on the same Olympics with him and being like, oh,

501
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 3: he wakes up at five every morning.

502
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, I know, he's the O G grindset mindset guy

503
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:38,680
Speaker 5: and kind of like ruined. He accidentally ruins the generation

504
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:39,160
Speaker 5: of men.

505
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 2: But I think that was YouTube, But I don't think. Yeah,

506
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 2: I don't blame that.

507
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:49,360
Speaker 1: But mamba mentality became so synonymous with so many things

508
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 1: I think because yeah, like it it worked for him.

509
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 1: Now does that work for your budding business of doing

510
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 1: decals on automobiles? Right?

511
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, it work for your all meat, you know.

512
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 3: Maybe see all right, we're gonna talk about the USA's

513
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:09,200
Speaker 3: first game against Serbia, but first I want to talk

514
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:18,160
Speaker 3: about my man victorama, my man our man victory.

515
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, what a what an outing.

516
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 3: He's had two victories for France so far, and he's

517
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 3: been controversial.

518
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 2: I will say controversial win against Japan.

519
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 3: Against Japan, that was a close one.

520
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 2: Oh I missed it. So why was it controversial?

521
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 1: Because Ruy Hachimura was playing in a way that was

522
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 1: bringing tears to my eyes in the good way, and

523
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,399
Speaker 1: he just got so hot that like they really were

524
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 1: starting to close the game down against France. He was

525
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 1: hitting back to back threes and then suddenly he was

526
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 1: ejected for some like not truly ejectable offenses based on

527
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 1: what we've seen across the Olympics, which raised a lot

528
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 1: of you know, people were like, this is a this

529
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 1: is a sham or whatever. But it was a bit

530
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:02,159
Speaker 1: I feel like France was a little bit lucky in

531
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 1: that second game.

532
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, but they I mean they were a lot that lucky.

533
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 3: I think it was under a minute they were down

534
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 3: four against Japan.

535
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, and got a soft four point play call. Yeah.

536
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 2: I don't know the guy. I might I might have

537
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 2: missed the replay.

538
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:20,159
Speaker 5: But it sounds like a scandal, you guys. It is

539
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:24,439
Speaker 5: like one of those Olympic scans.

540
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:31,120
Speaker 3: Well, unfortunately, we know that Olympic refereeing has never done

541
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:31,959
Speaker 3: anything shady.

542
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 2: So we're we're good here, yes, yeah, yeah, but playing

543
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 2: quite well. I got it.

544
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 3: So he played great in their first win against Brazil.

545
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 3: It was just a lot of highlights, a lot of blocks,

546
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:49,960
Speaker 3: just a lot.

547
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 2: Yeah.

548
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 3: Everyone was like, oh, this is a new world watching

549
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:56,479
Speaker 3: him play.

550
00:28:57,680 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 2: There's not much you can do about it.

551
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 3: It's it's interest because they still like, don't play like

552
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 3: he still like feels like he hasn't been unleashed. He

553
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 3: feels leashed. Yeah, by in this setting, which is weird.

554
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 3: I feel like this is us getting to see what

555
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 3: it would look like if he had gone to college.

556
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 3: Like the Olympic basketball feels like the best players in

557
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 3: the world playing college basketball.

558
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 2: To me, like the stacing is.

559
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 3: Weird, the style is weird, and yeah, it's all just

560
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 3: but he he still has been incredible in the game

561
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 3: against Japan, Like one of the headlines was like Japan

562
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 3: keeps wembing Yama like under control or you know, holds

563
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 3: holds Wemby Aama like keeps him from going wild. He

564
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 3: had eighteen eleven six with two blocks and true shields

565
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 3: and like basically took over in over time.

566
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 1: I think, Yeah, that headline is sort of like, well,

567
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:07,239
Speaker 1: he didn't score twenty points, right, so they kept him

568
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 1: under control like those other stats. Yeah, sure, sure, yeah,

569
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 1: well I really took one jump like I have this

570
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 1: one jumps out early in the game over him, and

571
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 1: I was like, brave, brave, But yeah, Wemby's just truly

572
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 1: continues like to evolve and gets stronger and it's.

573
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 2: Turning into a young man before our eyes.

574
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 3: Every France game, Like that's just a deal I've made

575
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 3: with myself. Who's the last like, uh, you know Tony Parker, Yeah,

576
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 3: Tony Parker.

577
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 2: Is he the last franchise France man.

578
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 3: Like franchise franchise player? Yeah, you know, Like I mean, really,

579
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 3: Gobert if you ask Minnesota is based on what they

580
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 3: paid for him.

581
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 2: But yeah, but for talking rings, you know what I mean.

582
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, Tony Parker's got to be the only man, I think,

583
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 5: all of France who's ever won.

584
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 3: He's never the best player on a single one of

585
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 3: those teams.

586
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, yeah, sure, but he was pretty good.

587
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 5: I mean, when it comes to that era of basketball

588
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 5: and all of the different point guards that Derek Fisher

589
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 5: made famous, you know, he's one of them, you know.

590
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, thank that's right, that's that's a historical fact. Shout

591
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 2: out to Derek. I love you.

592
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 1: If you listen to this podcast, be my friend, Derek.

593
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 2: Be my friend. Invite me over to a cookout with

594
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 2: Robert or.

595
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 3: Please one compliment I have to pay to our partners

596
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 3: of this podcast. The NBA is their smart, forward thinking

597
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 3: position on allowing people to share social media clips, yeah,

598
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 3: plays from NBA games. Yeah, Like you get about twenty

599
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 3: minutes to watch a highlight of Olympic basketball on Twitter

600
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 3: before NBC is taking it down. And it's truly it

601
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 3: just like makes the impact of these plays and all

602
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 3: these games like less. It just like penetrates less in

603
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 3: the culture. And it's a bummer, Like I just wish

604
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 3: they'd be like no, this is awesome. We're excited to

605
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 3: be here and uh yeah, watch watch the best players

606
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 3: in the world do awesome things.

607
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 2: Almost great point.

608
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 1: It's yeah, it feels like it feels like a snapchat

609
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 1: or something. We're like, oh, well, you didn't you didn't

610
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 1: see it. Yeah, I'm like, ah, but I like the highlights, but.

611
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I probably would have known the Olympics started.

612
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 1: They allowed the highlights on Twitter. Enough right right right

613
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 1: on Twitter, waiting for highlight, right right right.

614
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 3: So Team USA's next game is Wednesday VERSUSU Sudan, so

615
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 3: it may have already happened as you listen to this.

616
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:57,719
Speaker 3: The US is favored by thirty. This seems incorrect. Like

617
00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 3: just across the board, looking at how good all the

618
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 3: teams are. That's the other My other takeaway from the

619
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 3: Olympics is like, all of these teams look really good. Again,

620
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 3: the spacing is such that it's it's cluttered in there.

621
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 3: I don't think the US is like noticeably so far

622
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 3: superior this time around. I will I think they'll be

623
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 3: lucky to win a gold medal, whereas in the past disappointment.

624
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:30,200
Speaker 3: I really do like that there's just so many good teams.

625
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,479
Speaker 3: I think they are the best team, but it's you know,

626
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 3: it gets to a point where it's single elimination. They're

627
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 3: playing really good teams who have played a long time

628
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 3: together and they're just getting still getting used to each

629
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 3: other and it shows.

630
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 5: But yeah, on Olympic Olympic basketball last last Olympics, but.

631
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 3: They didn't win the world title last last year.

632
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 2: Yeah so much.

633
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, and like they didn't they weren't really close at

634
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 3: that time. So yeah, but we do have Lebron James

635
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 3: and uh, most importantly, I mean most importantly probably Lebron.

636
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 3: I'm sorry to say, Matt, but KD was KD always

637
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 3: comes to play in the Olympics. Uh, and he still

638
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 3: feels like the one player who you see out there

639
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:27,920
Speaker 3: and he follows through on the promise that like, oh

640
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:32,360
Speaker 3: we have an NBA player, we have against non NBA

641
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:33,799
Speaker 3: players out there like that.

642
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 2: He just he looked like.

643
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 3: It was on easy mode for him and like nobody else.

644
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 3: He went eight for eight in the first quarter, five

645
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 3: for five from three and just was just looked like

646
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:48,319
Speaker 3: Kevin Durant playing against people who were not up to

647
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 3: his level. And then like also was hitting impossible shots. Yeah,

648
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 3: like he was just so hot.

649
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:57,319
Speaker 2: The opponent level aside, he was just so dialed in.

650
00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:00,120
Speaker 2: It was just freaky that like it felt like when's.

651
00:34:59,880 --> 00:35:03,279
Speaker 1: I they got a ringer, who's the guy?

652
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:07,439
Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, hold on check his credentials from But he's

653
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:10,279
Speaker 6: going against Jokic, the best player in the world by

654
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 6: a lot of people standards, and you know, the rotation

655
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 6: is interesting, like they I mean, I think it's gonna

656
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 6: be different game to game, but yeah, like Ad still

657
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:24,920
Speaker 6: not playing that much, even though when he played in

658
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 6: the qualifying and like tune up matches, he would looked

659
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:30,279
Speaker 6: like the best player a lot of times, or at

660
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:31,399
Speaker 6: least the best big man.

661
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:31,960
Speaker 1: Uh.

662
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:35,439
Speaker 3: They still they like we're doing big man by committee

663
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:39,920
Speaker 3: type like just like they treated a d Joel Embiid

664
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,799
Speaker 3: and Bam like they were just like big bodies that

665
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:45,720
Speaker 3: you're like throwing at people to collect fouls like twenty

666
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:47,920
Speaker 3: minutes each. We're just like, I don't know, go out

667
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:49,920
Speaker 3: there and collect some fouls against Jokic.

668
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:52,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, don't fully foul out, but like they get two

669
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:53,239
Speaker 2: or three in there, all right.

670
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:58,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, Brom was awesome. Steph looked really uh solid

671
00:35:59,000 --> 00:35:59,760
Speaker 3: in his minutes.

672
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:01,320
Speaker 2: Booker.

673
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 3: I wanted to call out super producer Jabbari was noting

674
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 3: that like somebody in twenty twenty three tweeted, oh, Kyle Kuzma.

675
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:15,799
Speaker 2: Somebody, Hey, hey, some fan, some fan.

676
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:24,920
Speaker 3: Some basketball fan named Kyle Kuzma. Cosma tweeted, USA basketball

677
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 3: better get some NBA stars that know how to play

678
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 3: a role. Anybody can be nice with the ball in

679
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 3: their hands, but can you be cool with defending and

680
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 3: going to the corner for a few possessions?

681
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 2: Uh?

682
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:39,480
Speaker 3: And Devin Booker said I'll do it, and he has

683
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:41,360
Speaker 3: been true. He was true to his word in this

684
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:43,840
Speaker 3: first game. He was just like out there, you know

685
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 3: too many people who think they're the best player in

686
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:52,279
Speaker 3: the world or the best player on the court, and like,

687
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:55,680
Speaker 3: things don't always work out. So you need people who

688
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 3: are still going to be like, all right, it's Lebron James.

689
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:03,279
Speaker 1: We're gonna yeah, or even regardless of being like, well,

690
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 1: I'll acknowledge this guy's better than me.

691
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 2: Is just more of like, we all have to play

692
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 2: a role for.

693
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 1: The team to defeat the other teams because the you know,

694
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 1: solo hero stuff.

695
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 2: Isn't always gonna work out for us in this game. Yeah,

696
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:15,920
Speaker 2: but that.

697
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:19,320
Speaker 1: Was interesting to see because Jason Tatum and Tyrese Halliburn

698
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 1: did not play in that game, and people were doing

699
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:25,799
Speaker 1: like flippant highlight reels of like you're like, yo, check

700
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 1: out Tyree's Tatum's like mixtape from the highlight tape.

701
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 2: And it's just all the steering from the bench.

702
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:35,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, But like Halliburton, you could tell it was like

703
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:38,840
Speaker 1: this is great, Like I'm I'm with this, this is

704
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 1: all okay. Jason Tatum, though I understand you just came

705
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 1: off of an NBA championship, he was a little bit

706
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:46,960
Speaker 1: more sulky.

707
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:50,080
Speaker 3: I mean, Derek White is playing and he's not playing

708
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:52,760
Speaker 3: in that game. Derek White is, you know, coming into

709
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:56,720
Speaker 3: last season, was probably seen as the fourth best player

710
00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:57,840
Speaker 3: on their team.

711
00:37:58,120 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know.

712
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:04,959
Speaker 3: And and also Drew Holliday is playing the third best

713
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 3: player on that team, and he is supposed to be

714
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 3: the best player on that team. But I think it

715
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 3: speaks to what Jabari was calling out with the Devin

716
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:17,960
Speaker 3: Booker thing, is like you need people who are willing

717
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:21,480
Speaker 3: to be the other guy on the court, like energetically

718
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 3: and in terms of the role you're filling.

719
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 5: And if I'm if I'm any of these guys, I'm

720
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:32,360
Speaker 5: like please bench me. I do not want to be injured.

721
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:35,680
Speaker 5: And I played basketball.

722
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:37,480
Speaker 2: For I paid.

723
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 3: You don't understand, Steve, I get paid so much money

724
00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 3: to play basketball in the NBA.

725
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 2: I love America, but not like hold my job for free,

726
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 2: love America. Leep? Are you eating a bag at sandwich

727
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:56,320
Speaker 2: right now? Yeah? I'm trying to enjoy myself. Yeah, I'm good.

728
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 2: I'm good.

729
00:38:57,400 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 1: Don't worry about me. Look, I'm just here for the

730
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:01,840
Speaker 1: metal man. I'm just happy to be honestly, just so

731
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 1: happy to be here.

732
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:06,000
Speaker 5: I'm I'm just having before Yeah, just stuffing pastries into

733
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:08,400
Speaker 5: my mouth like I'm just happy to help my team

734
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:09,279
Speaker 5: or anywhere.

735
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 2: Like that Russell Westbrook clip when he was like looking

736
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:16,799
Speaker 2: over he's eating a sandwich.

737
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:21,319
Speaker 3: But Kerr said he specifically like had multiple conversations with

738
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 3: Tatum before the game and after the game to be

739
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:28,319
Speaker 3: like this is what's happening. Sorry, we're gonna need you

740
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:32,400
Speaker 3: against South Sudan. But like in terms of our you know,

741
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 3: game plan for this game, like we need to just

742
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:41,600
Speaker 3: cycle in big bodies. I guess was their game plan

743
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:44,280
Speaker 3: and it worked. I mean, say what you will about

744
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:47,000
Speaker 3: like how tight the tune up game against South Sudan

745
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 3: was in Germany. But the US seems to have Serbia's number,

746
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:56,759
Speaker 3: at least because they waxed them in the tune up

747
00:39:56,880 --> 00:40:01,760
Speaker 3: and then again in the Olympics. Good and Jokic sticks.

748
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 3: We can all agree on that, right. Oh, this guy's

749
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:05,400
Speaker 3: not good a basketball anymore.

750
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:08,319
Speaker 1: Look, he was playing in the sport heat. That's not

751
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:09,440
Speaker 1: really his preferred sport.

752
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 2: In the Olympics.

753
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 1: He would have liked to been in the dressage or

754
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:13,400
Speaker 1: some of the equestrian events.

755
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:16,280
Speaker 2: Sound but he is kind of a dance the dancing

756
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:18,320
Speaker 2: horse of the NBA, that's right.

757
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:23,560
Speaker 1: But I mean, like I look at those like Sudan odds,

758
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:27,680
Speaker 1: we're favored, but like by thirty what we beat Serbia

759
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 1: by twenty six? Okay, so Jabari, thank you. We were

760
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:33,520
Speaker 1: twelve and a half point favorites over Serbia.

761
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:36,360
Speaker 2: We beat him by two. I mean, I guess you

762
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:39,000
Speaker 2: just South Sudan is just interesting, just.

763
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:41,880
Speaker 3: Doing like NBA, like put the number of NBA guys

764
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:43,880
Speaker 3: on the team on one side of the scale and

765
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:47,279
Speaker 3: like whoever has the most. But that doesn't seem to

766
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:51,240
Speaker 3: be how things work in this modern version of international basketball.

767
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think, I mean that's why the South

768
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:55,759
Speaker 1: Sudan game will be interesting to be like, Okay, was

769
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:57,879
Speaker 1: what we saw in those tune up matches a bit

770
00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:00,920
Speaker 1: of a fluke or you know South? I mean South

771
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:02,680
Speaker 1: Sudan was really performing well and they have a really

772
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 1: like I didn't realize lou All Deng was personally financing

773
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:10,720
Speaker 1: the South Sudan basketball team for the last four years.

774
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:13,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I was like, Okay, well, Shady, we need

775
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 2: to look into that. We look into this.

776
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:22,600
Speaker 1: Man is helping out his fellow countrymen achieve new heights.

777
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:26,560
Speaker 2: Shoot it was us, the Lakers, Yeah exactly. I'm like, well,

778
00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:28,880
Speaker 2: we did a good thing with that contract at least.

779
00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:31,839
Speaker 1: But yeah, I am that'll be a really really fun

780
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 1: one to watch and look as it's happening, who knows

781
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:39,520
Speaker 1: they the US may have absolutely just run rough shot

782
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 1: over them.

783
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:44,319
Speaker 3: But I don't because there This is the thing that

784
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:48,160
Speaker 3: I feel like we saw in the playoffs and the

00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:58,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, my arm straight up, and I just went as

941
00:50:58,760 --> 00:51:03,799
Speaker 5: I saw the lane, And apparently people just love like thinking.

942
00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:06,200
Speaker 1: About it, like from your perspective, and then like in

943
00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:08,440
Speaker 1: a comedy film, and then cut to what actually happened,

944
00:51:08,440 --> 00:51:10,839
Speaker 1: where you're like, you got the ball, you see defender shift,

945
00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:13,440
Speaker 1: You're like, there it is, baby, I'm going for it.

946
00:51:13,520 --> 00:51:16,040
Speaker 1: Then hard cut to you like running from half court, like.

947
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:23,400
Speaker 5: Taking little steps, extra little steps as I got closer.

948
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:29,239
Speaker 3: And then bending your knees so low that your butt

949
00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:30,080
Speaker 3: touches the ground.

950
00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:38,040
Speaker 5: It was not as graceful irl as it was in

951
00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:40,440
Speaker 5: my mind. But yeah, I did slow down when I

952
00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:41,160
Speaker 5: saw that lane.

953
00:51:41,640 --> 00:51:42,360
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.

954
00:51:42,520 --> 00:51:45,920
Speaker 1: Okay, next question, and I might have an idea who

955
00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:48,480
Speaker 1: you're gonna pick based on what you've said about your

956
00:51:48,520 --> 00:51:51,400
Speaker 1: favorite player and who doesn't get respect. But between the

957
00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:54,600
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight team USA team or the twenty

958
00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:58,840
Speaker 1: twenty four USA team, who do you select as your

959
00:51:59,080 --> 00:51:59,640
Speaker 1: better team?

960
00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:02,960
Speaker 2: Who is your champion? Who are you riding with? So

961
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:06,880
Speaker 2: you were there two thousand and eight, man a better team?

962
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:09,520
Speaker 5: I mean, listen, you're talking about who would I pick

963
00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:11,600
Speaker 5: between twenty and eight and twenty twenty four.

964
00:52:12,200 --> 00:52:15,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's zero question. You know, I'm picking two thousand

965
00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:17,320
Speaker 2: and eight. There it is. And the reason I'm picking

966
00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:18,640
Speaker 2: two thousand and eight and is.

967
00:52:19,239 --> 00:52:24,320
Speaker 5: I believe that that team what was it? It was

968
00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:29,279
Speaker 5: either like four years earlier or what not, Like there

969
00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:30,640
Speaker 5: was a year where we didn't win.

970
00:52:30,840 --> 00:52:32,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, four years earlier, two thousand and four.

971
00:52:33,040 --> 00:52:36,759
Speaker 5: And I remember being like, that's its great, you know,

972
00:52:36,920 --> 00:52:41,480
Speaker 5: we're America and we didn't even win. And uh, I

973
00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:43,920
Speaker 5: don't know if Kobe was even on that team in

974
00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:44,759
Speaker 5: two thousand four.

975
00:52:45,200 --> 00:52:48,719
Speaker 3: Yeah I think he was. Yeah, Nope, no, yeah, he wasn't.

976
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:52,560
Speaker 3: I'm glad Jabari is here to just you know, and

977
00:52:52,960 --> 00:52:57,439
Speaker 3: I remember he keep the misinformation from never Wanted Done

978
00:52:57,520 --> 00:52:59,919
Speaker 3: contaest and he was on the two thousand and four team.

979
00:53:00,280 --> 00:53:00,480
Speaker 2: Yeah.

980
00:53:01,120 --> 00:53:05,160
Speaker 5: You obviously you're biased against Toby. So everything good that

981
00:53:05,239 --> 00:53:07,919
Speaker 5: ever happened. You're like, no, But the truth of it

982
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:09,879
Speaker 5: is is that he wasn't on that team in two

983
00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:12,760
Speaker 5: thousand and four. And I said, well that's why, that's why.

984
00:53:12,960 --> 00:53:15,760
Speaker 5: And then two thousand and eight, Oh, it was great.

985
00:53:15,880 --> 00:53:19,719
Speaker 5: It was like American team win, like, yeah, the redeemed team,

986
00:53:19,760 --> 00:53:22,680
Speaker 5: that's right, and and yeah, so two thousand and eight,

987
00:53:22,719 --> 00:53:25,600
Speaker 5: whereas like this team, I don't, honestly, I don't think

988
00:53:25,640 --> 00:53:26,560
Speaker 5: they have it in them.

989
00:53:26,840 --> 00:53:30,080
Speaker 2: You don't think so yeah, yeah, maybe look look I

990
00:53:30,120 --> 00:53:30,680
Speaker 2: look at that.

991
00:53:31,160 --> 00:53:33,959
Speaker 5: I look at that, this you know, USA basketball team,

992
00:53:34,040 --> 00:53:35,000
Speaker 5: and I'm just like.

993
00:53:35,520 --> 00:53:38,399
Speaker 2: Who never heard of these guys? I've never heard these guys.

994
00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:42,320
Speaker 5: Now, it could be because I haven't watched basketball since

995
00:53:42,360 --> 00:53:46,120
Speaker 5: twenty twelve, but I don't think it's that. I think

996
00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:50,880
Speaker 5: it's honestly, like, I think it's the what who's that?
