Speaker 2: I sent Demanse a great video this weekend of his

25
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 2: mother and I coming out of nightclub on Saturday night,

26
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 2: Saturday night, and there was a guy with an awesome

27
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 2: Boa constrictor that the your mom had had just enough

28
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 2: uh repisado sodas that she was like, let me hold

29
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 2: that snake and I and uh, we got a video

30
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 2: of that. It was a beautiful snake.

31
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 3: You also sent me a picture of the Spanish thing

32
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 3: with the dog.

33
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 2: That's what I thought you were going to bring up.

34
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 3: So did you did you know that there was writing

35
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 3: on that or did you just see the picture?

36
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 2: It turned it? So let me so let me We're

37
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 2: gonna get to Olympic basketball in just a moment. But

38
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 2: let me give context here. So we had a miniature

39
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 2: schnauzer uh for sixteen years. I guess, well, I guess

40
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 2: I had him for thirteen years. You because he was

41
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 2: three when I came into the picture, so you guys

42
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 2: had the and there was a tin. There was a small,

43
00:02:53,720 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 2: like square photograph sitting on the kitchen counter, and it

44
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 2: was Mo when he was a puppy. It looked like

45
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 2: like or at least very young. It was a smaller

46
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 2: Mo than I had ever seen and I and I

47
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 2: saw it, and I got happy because that was my

48
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 2: first dog ever. And I when he got old and

49
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 2: sick at the end, I really took care of him.

50
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 2: And I saw him and I just said, oh Mo.

51
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 2: I'll be honest with the audience, I said, oh Moosi

52
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 2: woes because that's what we called it. And your mom

53
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 2: said to me, look at the back of it. And

54
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 2: I look at the back of it, and there is

55
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 2: some of the worst Spanish I've ever read. It was

56
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 2: very clearly part of Demanse's school project or something where

57
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 2: either he was supposed to write the description of the

58
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 2: picture on the picture, or he was supposed to hold

59
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 2: up a picture and like say what it is and

60
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 2: was cheating by having reading off the back. Either way,

61
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 2: it wasn't going to be successful because I don't think

62
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 2: that was proper Spanish.

63
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 3: Regardless, it came out to my dog. I fear great leaders.

64
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I saw that, and I sent Demanse a

65
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 2: picture of both. It's very funny. Yeah. So no, so

66
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 2: the sent Demonse a video of his mother and I

67
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 2: walking out of a club and seeing a Boa constrictor.

68
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:36,840
Speaker 2: I asked the guy who was a ball python, because

69
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 2: those are the snakes you have? He said, no, it's

70
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:44,119
Speaker 2: a boa and uh, and then send him that. All right. Uh.

71
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 2: Somebody says, did you bike home from the club like Booker? No,

72
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 2: this actually was a place within walking distance of my house.

73
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,919
Speaker 2: So I the there was a big Harlem this is

74
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 2: Harlem week right now, and there was a big kind

75
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 2: of block party right by Trentage where we do the

76
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 2: show from. And then after that there were stuff going

77
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 2: on a block away from us. So we just we

78
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 2: just ended up walking down from there. Okay, here's what

79
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:17,239
Speaker 2: missed the cut. It's all Jets nonsense. The Jets traded

80
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 2: for a player who wanted out of Philadelphia because he

81
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 2: wanted a new contract. They evidently thought, well, you might

82
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 2: want a new contract with the you know, defending NFC

83
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 2: champion Philadelphia Eagles, but you won't want a new contract

84
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 2: with the most embarrassing organization in the league will trade

85
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 2: for you. That player shockingly still wants a new contract

86
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 2: and now has demanded a trade before ever setting foot

87
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 2: in the facility. Evidently, Woody Johnson gave Aaron Rodgers the

88
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,719
Speaker 2: Queen's honey. I don't totally understand this, Daniel tried to

89
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 2: explain it to me. I still don't understand it. But

90
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 2: I'm excited to read Ian O'Connor's book. And Rogers regrets

91
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:59,359
Speaker 2: his immunized comments. And if you read that excerpt, what

92
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 2: he said was, yeah, I gay, that's the one thing

93
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 2: the media could really hit me on. So at least

94
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 2: from the excerpt, it wasn't so much. I regretted it

95
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 2: because I lied. It was. I regretted it because I

96
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 2: gave people ammunition. But I'll read the book at hole.

97
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:18,039
Speaker 2: Maybe i'll read that on the flight this way, I

98
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,159
Speaker 2: probably won't read it on the flight, to be totally honest,

99
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 2: I don't have it yet, but i'll read it at

100
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 2: some point. Get back to you guys on it, all right.

101
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 2: Demon's Oh, so they're asking, is the book club? No,

102
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 2: that was a failed experiment. I didn't really know how

103
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 2: to execute the book club properly, all right, demonse, Let's

104
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 2: get to it. Team USA.

105
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 3: Team USA Basketball claimed gold once again after that legendary

106
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 3: heater from Stephen Curry in that final game. Obviously, Bron

107
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 3: played very well throughout. You actually called for co MVPs

108
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,039
Speaker 3: for Stephan Lebron, which I thought was very fair of you.

109
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 3: But do you think this will be the last time

110
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:55,159
Speaker 3: that we see Lebron and Steph Curry playing high stakes games.

111
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 2: It's on the board, which is unfortunate. It's also why,

112
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,159
Speaker 2: and we'll get to this more in a bit, It's

113
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,559
Speaker 2: why I'd like to see them team up. But first

114
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 2: let's talk about Lebron and Steph and their performances and

115
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 2: why I thought co MVPs would have been the way

116
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 2: to go. Those two guys, along with Durant, were the

117
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 2: story of this team. Three of the oldest players in

118
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 2: league history, Three guys who some believe are three of

119
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 2: the ten greatest players ever. Three guys who everyone believes

120
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 2: are three of the twenty greatest players ever, all of

121
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 2: whom are past their athletic prime. Reminding everyone that when

122
00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 2: the stakes are the highest, there's not a long list,

123
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 2: and the list might honestly be one name long. Jokic

124
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 2: of guys you definitively want over them. Now. Durant didn't

125
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 2: really get to show it the whole tournament because he

126
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 2: had the calf injury and you know, didn't really play

127
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 2: or didn't play until in any of the exhibition games.

128
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 2: But then in the first game he did play, what

129
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 2: did he make his first ten shots from the field.

130
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 2: But that kind of made him a clear third actor

131
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 2: in this movie. And this tournament was about Stephan Lebron

132
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 2: and the US was gonna win or lose based on

133
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 2: Stephan Lebron, and Steph nominated Lebron to be the flag bearer.

134
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 2: I still think the coolest image from these Olympics is

135
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 2: Lebron holding the flag on the boat going down this

136
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 2: pardon me the same, and Coco Goff there and the

137
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 2: whole team there and this old man with gray and

138
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 2: his beard being like, I'm going to remind the entire

139
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 2: world one more time that I still might be as

140
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 2: far as the ability to control, figure out, understand, make

141
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,319
Speaker 2: the right decision, get the ball to the right people,

142
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 2: the number one draft pick alive even though I'm almost

143
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 2: forty years old. What the And I'll get to the

144
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 2: step part in a moment, but what these Olympics showed

145
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 2: me start to finish was if Lebron wanted to say, Okay,

146
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 2: what I'm going to do now in my career is

147
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 2: be purely the Magic Johnson roll, that a forty year

148
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 2: old Lebron James could be eighty percent of peak Magic Johnson.

149
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 2: Magic might be the fourth greatest player of all time.

150
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 2: Lebron in these Olympics played the Magic Johnson role better

151
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 2: than Magic Johnson played it in the ninety two Olympics. Now, Magic,

152
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 2: to be fair, was a year removed from playing competitive

153
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 2: basketball because he had retired, but was still excellent. But

154
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 2: Lebron's ability to read the game, read the floor, make

155
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 2: the right play and then still and this is the

156
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 2: part Demon's a that was remarkable to me. He's still

157
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 2: the fastest guy on the court ninety percent of possessions.

158
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 2: He can't activate it as often as he used to

159
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 2: be able to. He can't play as many at that

160
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 2: high of a level as he used to be able to,

161
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 2: but as far as in bursts into end speed. The

162
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 2: only guy out there who I felt on any team

163
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 2: in the tournament that we the US played against, or

164
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 2: on his own team that could have kept up with

165
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 2: him was Anthony Edwards. It's the only guy. And when

166
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 2: in the big spots, when Lebron got a defensive rebound

167
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 2: and just said screw this, I'm getting to the basket.

168
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 2: He got there with impunity every time at sixty five

169
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 2: thousand minutes and almost forty years old, and he was

170
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 2: the steady hand. And I know the exhibition play didn't

171
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 2: play into who tournament MVP was, but I do think

172
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 2: Lebron saving the US in those two close exhibition games

173
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 2: played a role in the US's ability to come back

174
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:03,559
Speaker 2: again in Serbia because I think there was a sense

175
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 2: of invincibility. And had they lost one of those quote

176
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 2: meaningless games to South Sudan or whomever earlier, would they

177
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 2: then when they fell down nineteen to Serbia, when they

178
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 2: were down thirteen at the end of the third quarter,

179
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 2: would they have said, oh man, this ain't we ain't

180
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 2: gonna do this. And so Lebron, the fact that he

181
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 2: scored in double digits every single game, had five plus

182
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 2: assists in every single game, shot better than fifty percent

183
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 2: from the field in every single game, led the team

184
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 2: in minutes, rebounds, assists, field goal percentage, and scored in

185
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 2: the tournament two less points than step So we ended

186
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 2: up missing out on leading them in points by two

187
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 2: total points. That to me is and I'll add one

188
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 2: other point. In the Serbia game, if Steph was the

189
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 2: best player, he was one bet. In the s A game,

190
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 2: he was phenomenal in the biggest spot. That's the Lebron

191
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 2: for MVP case. The step for MVP case is much

192
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 2: shorter and much simpler. In the semifinals and the finals,

193
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 2: he saved the team and was historically prolific from three.

194
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,680
Speaker 2: So in the semifinals he scored the second most points

195
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 2: any play any men's US men's player has ever scored.

196
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 2: That's what made that semifinal game so special. It was

197
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:42,199
Speaker 2: he scored thirty six, the second most points. Only Melos

198
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 2: ever scored more. He scored thirty seven. Lebron had a

199
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:49,560
Speaker 2: triple double, the second Olympic us men's Olympic triple double

200
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 2: ever uh. The previous one was done by Lebron twelve

201
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 2: years ago. So two of the greatest individual US men's

202
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 2: Olympic performance has ever happened in the same game. And

203
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 2: then in the France game, those final three minutes will

204
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 2: go down in history. Those final three minutes by Steph

205
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 2: will be top of mind that people think about when

206
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 2: they think about the greatest Steph Curry moments. And that

207
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 2: final shot Demons is the iconic one because it was

208
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 2: so laughable, but it was also kind of the least

209
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 2: important one. The game was not totally in hand, but

210
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 2: it was less than a minute left, they were up six.

211
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 2: It was they were in good shape. The first one

212
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 2: was the biggest shot. The second biggest shot, I would

213
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 2: argue of the tournament. I'll get to the biggest shot

214
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 2: in a moment when all of a sudden France had

215
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 2: cut it to three and Steph with two point fifty

216
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 2: left hits that top of the key three pointer to

217
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 2: call everyone down, and then goes and hits three more.

218
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 2: So there, to me was a legitimate argument for either

219
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 2: of those guys, and I think they were so they

220
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 2: embraced each other so much literally and figuratively in the

221
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 2: tournament that it would have been really cool to have

222
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 2: co MVPs. Also, I don't think the Olympics needs a

223
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 2: tournament MVP. It's a weird thing. They don't do it

224
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 2: every time. They did it in four and man who

225
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 2: won it. They did it in twenty twenty and Durant

226
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 2: won it, and they did it this year and Lebron

227
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 2: won it. But I think Stephan Lebron sharing it would

228
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 2: have been awesome. I also find the discussion around it

229
00:15:52,800 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 2: to be telling because there has been an embrace Ofdeph

230
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 2: Curry by some of the most vocal Lebron James fans

231
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 2: that oddly has not been reciprocated in the other direction,

232
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 2: where a lot of the most vocal Steph fans are

233
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 2: you know, furious about the MVP or whatever it is.

234
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 2: And I the I don't really care about that, but

235
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 2: I find it interesting because the two athletes themselves have

236
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 2: laid their swords down. There was a time when I

237
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 2: don't want to say there was dislike, but there was.

238
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 2: It was a felt like an on and off the

239
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 2: court rivalry. And that time has passed where both of

240
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 2: these guys know, man, we're not going to have that

241
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 2: many more moments like this, and I think they really

242
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 2: embraced this. I also, real quick before we get to

243
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:04,680
Speaker 2: the other stuff, found it was telling to me there

244
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 2: is there are some folks that so dislike Lebron. They

245
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:19,159
Speaker 2: found themselves openly rooting against Team USA. It was like

246
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 2: a weird and that's not guessing. It was folks admitting

247
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:27,640
Speaker 2: it and being like, no, I find this team unlikable

248
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 2: or whatever it was. And that was mostly about Lebron,

249
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 2: which if your basketball fandom has corroded your brain enough

250
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:43,399
Speaker 2: to where you can't enjoy what if you did not

251
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:47,400
Speaker 2: enjoy watching Team USA, then I just don't know if

252
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,639
Speaker 2: you're actually a basketball fan. That was some of the

253
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 2: coolest basketball I've ever seen in my life, and it's

254
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 2: something that will never be able to be duplicated again,

255
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:02,159
Speaker 2: And if we're being honest, had never been duplicated in

256
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 2: the past, because you can say the ninety two Dream

257
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 2: Team with Michael Magic and Larry, but Larry was in

258
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:12,880
Speaker 2: a back brace and Magic was a year removed from

259
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 2: the league and the best player, and Jordan shot worse

260
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 2: from the field than anyone in the on his team

261
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:23,160
Speaker 2: by a mile. The best player in that was Barkley.

262
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 2: Jordan was the best player, but Barkley played the best.

263
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 2: I should say, I don't know that we're ever going

264
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 2: to get another chance. We're three Pantheon players all team

265
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:44,440
Speaker 2: up together on Team USA and all deliver special moments.

266
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 2: And I'll get to Durant's piece of it again in

267
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 2: a moment. And so if you can't appreciate that, then

268
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 2: I don't know what to tell you. And so now

269
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 2: let's get to your actual question.

270
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:03,680
Speaker 3: Demonse go Ahea, Oh yeah, no, I mean, my sakes,

271
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 3: do you think I was gonna ask? I mean you

272
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:09,159
Speaker 3: touched on the MVPs. Uh, which which guy do you

273
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 3: think had a bigger legacy boost with this Olympic run

274
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 3: between Stephan and Lebron?

275
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 2: I you know, I think they're very different. I think

276
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 2: that for staph it was the one thing he didn't have.

277
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 2: He had never played in the Olympics and he had

278
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:31,119
Speaker 2: never won a gold and so for him to end up,

279
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:37,159
Speaker 2: for him to end up these last few years have

280
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:41,160
Speaker 2: been really important for Steph to win the title without

281
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 2: Durant and to then do what he did in these

282
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 2: Olympics was a real reminder of what a killer he is.

283
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,159
Speaker 2: Like it's everyone's known, what a great shooter, what a

284
00:19:56,200 --> 00:20:00,640
Speaker 2: great teammate, what a great ball handler. The two playoff

285
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:05,159
Speaker 2: run plus these Olympics reminded you what a killer he was.

286
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:13,359
Speaker 2: For Lebron, it's a different story. Which is it. It

287
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 2: will impact his legacy more years down the road than

288
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:23,479
Speaker 2: it does right now whenever, like what Lebron is doing

289
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 2: now to the record books and to oldest ever discussions,

290
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 2: like I want that this is what's going to happen

291
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 2: in five years. Okay, in five years, there's going to

292
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 2: be a basketball game being played between let me think

293
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 2: of what the example would be Jannis and Wimby and

294
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:59,159
Speaker 2: Wimby in the I'm this is fan fiction to a degree,

295
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 2: so this is not a specific example, but just follow

296
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 2: me for a moment. Wimby is going to do something

297
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 2: in that game where he crosses this many points or

298
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 2: this many rebounds or whatever, some threshold, and they'll put

299
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 2: up a graphic and it will say the youngest players

300
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:22,159
Speaker 2: to do X, and they'll show Wimby on it, and

301
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 2: the record holder will be Lebron because he's the youngest

302
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:29,119
Speaker 2: guy to hit basically every milestone there is in the league.

303
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 2: And then in that same game, an old legend will

304
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,159
Speaker 2: be playing and it will show and they'll cross a

305
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:42,400
Speaker 2: threshold a forty point triple double, whatever, something like that,

306
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 2: and it will show the oldest player to do why,

307
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 2: And on that list, the oldest will be Lebron. Lebron

308
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:59,879
Speaker 2: owning all the youngest ever records and the oldest ever record.

309
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 2: Lebron having two great Olympic performances sixteen years apart is

310
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 2: a remarkable thing. So let me see if I can

311
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 2: pull up the numbers, because I think that Basketball Reference

312
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 2: has it. So the two thousand and eight So the

313
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 2: two thousand and eight Olympic team, Lebron led to the

314
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 2: team in points with Kobe a close or I'm sorry,

315
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,199
Speaker 2: that's wrong, Dwayne Wade led them in points with one

316
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,119
Speaker 2: twenty eight. Lebron had the second most points with one

317
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:46,439
Speaker 2: twenty four. So Lebron in that tournament in two thousand

318
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:52,439
Speaker 2: and eight on Team USA was second in points third,

319
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 2: and rebounds second and assists. So top three points, rebounds,

320
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 2: assists at two thousand and eight at twenty three years old.

321
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:08,719
Speaker 2: For him to then be top three in points, rebounds

322
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 2: and assists for Olympics later at thirty nine years old

323
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 2: is the type of stuff when they show whenever the

324
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 2: next Olympian to get men's basketball olympian to get a

325
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 2: triple doubleis okay, And when they show the list on

326
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:34,440
Speaker 2: the screen and it says Lebron James in twenty twelve,

327
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 2: Lebron James in twenty twenty four, and this person. That's

328
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 2: where his legacy stuff is going to crystallize, is the

329
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 2: full width and breadth of the basketball life that has

330
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 2: spanned multiple playing styles, rule changes, and generations. And so

331
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 2: that to me is what is you know, where the

332
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 2: legacy stuff comes in. And it's why I want Steph

333
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 2: and Lebron on the same team. And we've been talking

334
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 2: about it on this show, Demons, and you can ask

335
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 2: the follow up question there and I'll explain.

336
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,120
Speaker 3: Week we've talked about it on the show. I feel

337
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:24,160
Speaker 3: like other folks have talked of it. Why is everybody

338
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 3: cool with it now with Steph and Lebron? And everybody

339
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:28,440
Speaker 3: hated Katie for doing it a while back.

340
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 2: Because again, people need to remember how long it's been.

341
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 2: Katie joined the Warriors eight years ago. So Kati was

342
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 2: in his absolute apex prime mid twenties. Steph was in

343
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:52,199
Speaker 2: his apex prime mid twenties. The last three league MVPs

344
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:57,919
Speaker 2: at that moment had been Durant, Steph Steph. The Warriors

345
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 2: had just won a title and then laid Durant's team

346
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:05,439
Speaker 2: in the conference finals, and it felt like, wait a minute,

347
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:11,119
Speaker 2: these are two like this is this is a you

348
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:15,639
Speaker 2: can win championships on your own. You're on great teams.

349
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 2: The Warriors just won seventy three games. The Warriors right

350
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 2: now just missed the playoffs. The Lakers just got bounced

351
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 2: in round one. And I listen, more people watched that

352
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 2: game than have watched any basketball game of any sort

353
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 2: in five years. Stephan Lebron move the needle unlike any athletes,

354
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 2: any basketball playing athletes we have, and I just want

355
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 2: to see them play relevant basketball games.

356
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 3: Do you think that either other team is more likely

357
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 3: to be playing in, you know, games that actually matter

358
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:59,160
Speaker 3: sooner than the other, Like if Steph or Lebron would

359
00:25:59,160 --> 00:25:59,640
Speaker 3: be more like.

360
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:04,639
Speaker 2: I mean, I I think I think maybe the Lakers

361
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 2: just because you have a d there, but they're so

362
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:13,199
Speaker 2: poorly run and they did so little this offseason, and

363
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 2: I just want to see if Stephen Lebron could old

364
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 2: man two man game their way to an NBA finals.

365
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 2: And I ain't listen the I'm not above Adam Silver

366
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 2: having an off the record closed door meeting. I mean, like, Lakers,

367
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 2: Warriors or pick a thirty team, figure it out, figure

368
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:41,479
Speaker 2: something out. It's good for business, and it will create

369
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 2: more intrigue and interest rather than these two guys on

370
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 2: bad teams or mediocre teams. All right, there's the Stephan

371
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 2: Lebron portion of it demands Uh, let's let's go through

372
00:26:55,400 --> 00:27:00,360
Speaker 2: the player by player. Uh yeah, you want to.

373
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,399
Speaker 3: Go through the Olympics player by player, probably just to

374
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 3: take a shot of my guy Tatum, but we'll see

375
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 3: what it's all about.

376
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,439
Speaker 2: No, I do want to because I think, listen, this

377
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 2: was one of my favorite Olympic Olympics ever and we

378
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:19,680
Speaker 2: can get more to that in a moment. But let's

379
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 2: just go through guy by guy. I was trying to

380
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 2: pull up their numbers as a whole, which I thought

381
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,399
Speaker 2: I was going to easily be able to do, but

382
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 2: I'm not quite able to do it. Maybe, Daniel, if

383
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,640
Speaker 2: one of you guys can find the actual like their

384
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,679
Speaker 2: overall stats, just text it to me. I can do

385
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 2: most of it off the top of my head. But

386
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 2: we've done Stephan Lebron. Now I want to do Durant.

387
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 2: Durant hit the biggest shot of the tournament the minute

388
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 2: left up to against Serbia. The Durant Iso let me

389
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 2: cook twenty footer was the biggest shot of the tournament,

390
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 2: and Durant also to me, had one of the coolest

391
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:09,879
Speaker 2: moments of the tournament, which was after the Serbia game,

392
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 2: when he says to someone recording, He's like, man, this

393
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 2: is what it's all about. He's like, our families are here.

394
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 2: We just played in one of the greatest games ever.

395
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 2: Everyone here will remember tonight for the rest of their lives,

396
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:32,719
Speaker 2: and that's what it's all about. And Durant's Twitter post

397
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:37,359
Speaker 2: after passing Lisa Leslie for the most points men's or

398
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 2: women's in Olympic history with the twelve guys sitting on

399
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 2: the steps, I just thought was so cool and so

400
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 2: vintage Kevin Durant, who Katie you know in this as

401
00:28:52,680 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 2: he's gotten older, has been incredibly honest. Katie wants to weed,

402
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 2: play video games, mess with people on Twitter and hoop.

403
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 2: That's just what he wants to do. And he is

404
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 2: such a pure basketball player with such a pure love

405
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 2: for the game. I love it and I'm really glad

406
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 2: I listen he is. I mean, he's got four goals,

407
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 2: he's got the most points ever. If you say he's

408
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 2: the greatest men's basketball Olympian ever, you're probably right. And

409
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 2: that's part of the legacy. So those are the big three.

410
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 2: Do you Demonse, do you have a guess on who

411
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say was either the fourth best player or

412
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 2: at least the guy who stock, yeah, helped his stock

413
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 2: the most. Do you have a guess on who I

414
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 2: would say there, Devin book It is Devin Booker. So

415
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 2: Booker had a really cool tweet where is somebody had

416
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 2: tweeted like the US for twenty twenty four is gonna

417
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 2: need somebody who will set their ego aside do the

418
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 2: dirty work and something like that, and Booker quote tweeted

419
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 2: it and said I'll do it and ended up doing

420
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 2: exactly that. And Booker in this tournament played twenty two

421
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 2: minutes a night, shot fifty eight percent from the field

422
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 2: and fifty nine percent from three, and gave you twelve points,

423
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 2: three rebounds, three assists. And everyone will get to Tatum

424
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 2: in a moment, everyone mad at Steve Kerr for Tatum

425
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 2: not playing having a big role. It was Devin Booker's fault.

426
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 2: Devin Booker was too good, Devin Booker. And did Devin

427
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 2: Booker's performance in this make me look at him in

428
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 2: a more complimentary light moving forward? One hundred percent? He

429
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 2: seemed to have no ego do all the little things,

430
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 2: you know, couldn't miss, which helps always and was phenomenal

431
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 2: and so yeah, I mean I the so I thought

432
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 2: Booker to me was the fourth star. The fifth star

433
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 2: was Aunt, and part of that's because of his play,

434
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 2: and part of that's because of his personality. So Aunt

435
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 2: only played sixteen minutes a game. There were some games

436
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 2: where it looked like it was a little too much

437
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 2: for him, and some games where it looked like he

438
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 2: was just had fire, you know, fire breathing dragon and

439
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 2: one of the one of the coolest moments of the tournament.

440
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 2: And shout out Noah Eagle, who if you remind if

441
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 2: you guys, remind me, we're going too long here. Put

442
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 2: this in the notes. Remind me on Thursday to say

443
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 2: something about Noah Egle longer for him. Shout out to

444
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 2: Noah Eagle for capturing this moment as he did. But

445
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 2: in the gold medal game, when Durant and Ant are

446
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 2: on a fast break and Durant finds Ant for a

447
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 2: lob dunk, that had to be maybe the coolest moment

448
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 2: of Ant's basketball life, certainly on the short list. That's

449
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 2: his hero, that's his childhood idol. Like all right, Durant's

450
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:38,240
Speaker 2: been in the league sixteen years. Aunt Edwards is twenty

451
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 2: turned twenty three last week. So since Ant Spin, a

452
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 2: third grader, Durant Spin, an MVP level guy, looked up

453
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 2: to him, wanted to be him and then be in

454
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 2: the gold medal game catching an alley oop from him,

455
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 2: It's unfathomable. And I also loved the role like Aunt

456
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:08,239
Speaker 2: is so genuinely himself, where I don't know if you

457
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 2: saw the video Step posted that evidently Aunt after the

458
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 2: gold medal game said to him, you just showed up

459
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 2: to Paris three days ago, giving steps because he hadn't

460
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 2: played well prior to the semi final, and then the

461
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:28,240
Speaker 2: team giving giving Ant for not knowing how to pop

462
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 2: champagne and saying you ain't been there. So they're on

463
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:35,960
Speaker 2: the steps and everyone's shaking up champagne and popping the

464
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 2: bottles and Aunt doesn't know how to do it, and

465
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 2: all the three older guys are like, oh, yeah, you

466
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:45,719
Speaker 2: ain't won yet, You've never did to do it. How

467
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 2: was the so well? It is so the I mean, honestly,

468
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 2: the mistake people make is they try to just push

469
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 2: the cork out when what you need to do is

470
00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:01,960
Speaker 2: twist and pull and so I obviously never won a championship,

471
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 2: but I've opened champagne bottles and so it was just

472
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:15,799
Speaker 2: a really endearing moment where he was like, oh, yeah, yeah,

473
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 2: I think the next youngest is Halliburton. But yeah, uh so,

474
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:26,360
Speaker 2: you know there's there's the Anthony Edwards piece. Joel Embiid

475
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:32,240
Speaker 2: after looking again like it was gonna be another time

476
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 2: where all right, you know, Embiid in a big spot

477
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 2: doesn't show up. Showed up in the Serbia game and

478
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:43,520
Speaker 2: the game before. Had a really big sequence in the

479
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 2: Serbia game where he scored seven straight points, also gave

480
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 2: up some bad rebounds. But here is my glass half

481
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:55,800
Speaker 2: full view of this demanse. This is the first time

482
00:34:55,880 --> 00:35:02,800
Speaker 2: in Joel's life he's played with winning play in big moments.

483
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 2: He's never played in big games. Biggest game he's ever

484
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:09,239
Speaker 2: played in is Game seven of Round two a couple times.

485
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 2: Maybe he learns from this experience the way Mellow Wade

486
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:21,400
Speaker 2: and Lebron learned from the eight experience with Kobe, that's

487
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 2: the hope. I thought some of his stuff with some

488
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:27,800
Speaker 2: of his quotes were kind of clownish, and I'm not

489
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:30,840
Speaker 2: a huge fan of the suck it crotch chop stuff.

490
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 2: But he is who he is, but we have to

491
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:37,600
Speaker 2: give credit words due. He did have a couple excellent games.

492
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 2: Anthony Davis I thought was steady, reliable force throughout, didn't

493
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 2: play a ton later in the tournament, was great defensively

494
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:52,960
Speaker 2: whenever he was out there, just like Bam was. I

495
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:56,919
Speaker 2: also thought Bam, you know again, didn't play a lot.

496
00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 2: Bam embiide in ad all averaged rounds sixteen minutes a game,

497
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,080
Speaker 2: which makes sense you only have forty minutes, and those

498
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:07,400
Speaker 2: year three bigs they're gonna split it up. But I

499
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:10,880
Speaker 2: thought Bam handled himself really well. Bam and Ad were

500
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:15,680
Speaker 2: great defensively. And then the other guy who I thought

501
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:21,239
Speaker 2: was sneaky excellent and found himself more prominently featured than

502
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:25,320
Speaker 2: a lot of people probably expected was Drew. Where Drew

503
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:28,759
Speaker 2: was the guy that Kerk could just put in there

504
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 2: and he would do whatever was needed. He is the

505
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:38,319
Speaker 2: definition of a winning player. Can understand the game, will

506
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:43,839
Speaker 2: always play great defense, will always be unselfish, and will

507
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 2: do his thing. Derek White, obviously very early in the tournament,

508
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 2: had one great game where he couldn't miss, but he

509
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:54,880
Speaker 2: really was not supposed to be there and was happy

510
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:58,799
Speaker 2: to be there. Haliburton. Good for him for having a

511
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 2: good disposition and not complaining about being the you know,

512
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:05,280
Speaker 2: the guy who didn't get in. This is the argument

513
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 2: to not having twelve stars on the team, because then

514
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:10,439
Speaker 2: a star is going to be in the Haliburton role,

515
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 2: and then there's Tatum who sometimes basketball simple. He didn't

516
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:22,880
Speaker 2: make a jump shot from the exhibition play to the

517
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:28,839
Speaker 2: gold medal game outside of three feet. He was zero

518
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:34,280
Speaker 2: for sixteen. Tough spot, man, And in the gold medal

519
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 2: game there was a sequence where he had the ball,

520
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:42,799
Speaker 2: almost turned it over, got it back, and then put

521
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 2: up this awkward, kind of awful floater and it was

522
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:53,840
Speaker 2: like man, yeah, yeah, and it was like man, it

523
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:57,759
Speaker 2: just really seems like his confidence was shaken. It's a

524
00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:00,239
Speaker 2: weird spot. I'm not going to kill him, but his

525
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:04,320
Speaker 2: disposition was fine. The it's not I don't want to

526
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:07,360
Speaker 2: say it's not his fault. That sounds almost patronizing, but

527
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:11,400
Speaker 2: he just just his shot. From the start of the

528
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 2: Eastern Conference Finals to right now, his SHOT's been off

529
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:21,239
Speaker 2: and it's messed with his confidence level. And so it's

530
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:25,480
Speaker 2: obviously not like it's not a great look, but what

531
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:28,319
Speaker 2: are you gonna do, Like, I just don't know. Like,

532
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:30,720
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna kill him, and I'm also not gonna

533
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:33,399
Speaker 2: kill Kerve for not playing him trying to win these

534
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 2: games and Tatum wasn't playing. Well, you're a Tatum fan, demonse,

535
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:41,239
Speaker 2: you go. If you think I'm being unfairer, you just

536
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 2: give your take. Go ahead.

537
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 3: And in the very beginning I thought it was a

538
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 3: little strange when Tatum wasn't playing, and then he got

539
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 3: put in and he didn't hit the shots, and they

540
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 3: continued to basically not play him.

541
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:55,960
Speaker 2: I look, but yeah, I just thought.

542
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:57,920
Speaker 3: It was super weird in the beginning, But then as

543
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:01,840
Speaker 3: the Olympics continued, it started to make sense. He is

544
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 3: my guy, but like, you gotta hit shots, and I

545
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:06,399
Speaker 3: do think that it's a confidence issue. I do think

546
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 3: he's been in his head since the finals and it

547
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 3: did not help. He ended up having to play for

548
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:12,719
Speaker 3: the freaking country a couple months later.

549
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 2: Well yeah, I mean, it could have helped if you'd

550
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 2: have played well. But it was what's so weird is

551
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:22,440
Speaker 2: he was excellent in the last Olympics and so he's

552
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:25,160
Speaker 2: played great on this stage. It was just a weird spot,

553
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:28,200
Speaker 2: all right, so let's go ahead. Let's quickly get to

554
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:30,160
Speaker 2: the other Olympics things and then we'll move on.

555
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 3: So Team USA basketball has been dominant since two thousand

556
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:36,399
Speaker 3: and four with all those medals and goals we got,

557
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 3: but the rest of the world is starting to catch up. Obviously,

558
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 3: Serbia kept it pretty close, and France is going to

559
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:45,840
Speaker 3: get better. Wimby's only going to get better. How scared

560
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:48,799
Speaker 3: of the Team US? The Team USA twenty twenty eight teen?

561
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 2: B Uh? I mean scared? I mean, so you look

562
00:39:57,080 --> 00:40:02,759
Speaker 2: at this year's team. Staph Lebron Durant are gone in

563
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:07,720
Speaker 2: four years, so take them off it. Embeid is already

564
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:10,480
Speaker 2: talking about playing for someone else, so take him off it.

565
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:18,280
Speaker 2: I don't know that you can rely on that Anthony

566
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:22,560
Speaker 2: Davis is gonna play again. I would preliminarily possibly take

567
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:27,320
Speaker 2: him off it. So what's the team look like? Booker?

568
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:30,640
Speaker 2: I think will come back, and obviously will come back,

569
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:35,280
Speaker 2: I would think, and Tatum would come back, I would think,

570
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:38,560
Speaker 2: but maybe he's pissed. The thing is you might have

571
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:42,319
Speaker 2: alienated Tatum and Brown and you're gonna need him in

572
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:47,200
Speaker 2: four years. And now obviously there's the young people are like, oh,

573
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:49,920
Speaker 2: Cooper flag. There's the young guys. I get that Drew

574
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:53,560
Speaker 2: won't be there in four years, No chance. Drew's another

575
00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:55,800
Speaker 2: one of the older guys that I wasn't even talking about.

576
00:40:56,400 --> 00:41:00,399
Speaker 2: So yeah, like I, they could be in trouble. They

577
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:02,800
Speaker 2: absolutely I don't want to go through who's going to

578
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:05,680
Speaker 2: be on the roster. We've spent too much time, but yeah,

579
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:10,480
Speaker 2: they absolutely could be in trouble. In France is only

580
00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 2: going to be getting more formidable. Uh all right, let's

581
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:15,360
Speaker 2: move on.

582
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:20,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, what were your favorite non basketball moments from these Olympics?

583
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:24,839
Speaker 2: Oh? Man, So the kid from Kansas City, Quincy Hall

584
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:29,560
Speaker 2: winning the four hundred coming back from fifth place was unbelievable.

585
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 2: There is a great video of a young female Chinese

586
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:40,920
Speaker 2: gymnast at the metal stand seeing the two Americans biting

587
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 2: their medals and then looking over like, oh, is that

588
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:46,400
Speaker 2: what we're supposed to do? And it just seemed like

589
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:49,920
Speaker 2: she wanted to be included, so she bit hers. I

590
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:54,799
Speaker 2: thought that was great. I thought Simone's redemption story was phenomenal.

591
00:41:56,400 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 2: I thought I can't get enough of city Ny McLoughlin Lavroni,

592
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:05,080
Speaker 2: the hurdler and the four hundred meter runner. She is

593
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:12,359
Speaker 2: a legendary athlete, and the gap between her and the

594
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:15,960
Speaker 2: second best ever in her sport, fimke Bol is just

595
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:19,440
Speaker 2: getting bigger. I mean it's like it's like a Ledeci

596
00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:24,840
Speaker 2: style gap. Uh. And there was something else. Oh, I

597
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:28,440
Speaker 2: was happy Shakari got her gold. That made me really

598
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:33,080
Speaker 2: happy that they that she got her gold after I

599
00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 2: think deserving it for quite some time. And I also, Uh,

600
00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:43,680
Speaker 2: there was another moment that I oh Novak Novak who

601
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:49,440
Speaker 2: really wanted uh clearly to win gold and finally did

602
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:53,239
Speaker 2: even though he beat my guy. Those were great. I

603
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:56,799
Speaker 2: love the Olympics. Oh, I guess the metal by the

604
00:42:56,840 --> 00:43:00,640
Speaker 2: gymnasts were Italian not American with the where the girl

605
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:04,440
Speaker 2: was doing what they were doing. Thank you guys. And

606
00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:08,359
Speaker 2: the next Olympics to Monse are in La. Yes. And

607
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:12,680
Speaker 2: so I am I told you what your wife your

00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:20,040
Speaker 2: mom yesterday that I am I am going to a

609
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:24,360
Speaker 2: year out from the Olympics. Make it very clear to

610
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 2: Wilds and Brew that during the Olympics we're taking the

611
00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:33,840
Speaker 2: show to La. We're going to do the show from

612
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:37,239
Speaker 2: the lot in La. Because I want to be I

613
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:41,520
Speaker 2: was so jealous a Ancha who was there and was

614
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:44,319
Speaker 2: able to watch the track and field. I don't care

615
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:47,200
Speaker 2: so much about the swimming. I know people love swimming.

616
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:49,960
Speaker 2: I'm not as into it. But I want to be

617
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:53,800
Speaker 2: at track and field every night for an Olympic week

618
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:56,800
Speaker 2: and to be have it be in LA in prime

619
00:43:56,920 --> 00:44:00,680
Speaker 2: time is going to be so great. And so and

620
00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:02,360
Speaker 2: there's a lot of you know, other stuff that I

621
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:05,719
Speaker 2: want to see. But I loved these Olympics. I thought

622
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:08,360
Speaker 2: NBC did a great job with it. Shout out to

623
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:12,120
Speaker 2: everybody involved. I loved it. And so I you know,

624
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:17,760
Speaker 2: I the I'm I like the Winter Olympics. I love

625
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:22,719
Speaker 2: the Summer Olympics, and so and and our women's gymnastics

626
00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:27,520

644
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:46,960
Speaker 2: let's get to some football real quick before we get

645
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:48,760
Speaker 2: some listener questions. Go ahead.

646
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:51,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, So on our last pot on Thursday, you came

647
00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:54,279
Speaker 3: out and said that or Andy came out that Andy

648
00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:56,560
Speaker 3: Reid was playing as starters. She said that everybody should

649
00:45:56,600 --> 00:45:58,440
Speaker 3: play their starters. Do what Andy Reid's doing. He's the

650
00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:01,520
Speaker 3: greatest coach. Yes, and Hollywood Brown got hurt on the

651
00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:05,040
Speaker 3: first play in the preseason game, So yeah, you think

652
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:06,760
Speaker 3: you should stick to that.

653
00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:08,680
Speaker 2: It's still a good idea. I'm not going to play

654
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:11,200
Speaker 2: the result. Yeah, you know, guys might get dinged up,

655
00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:15,160
Speaker 2: but the overall the greater. He's still there.

656
00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:20,040
Speaker 3: What that guy's You're that guy's always hurt. He's your

657
00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:23,359
Speaker 3: most notably hurt guy. Probably should well, I don't.

658
00:46:23,880 --> 00:46:26,279
Speaker 2: I mean, well, listen, I mean it's his first game

659
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:31,000
Speaker 2: ever with the Chiefs. Uh. Listen. He's a small receiver,

660
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:34,600
Speaker 2: so he's going to have some injury issues in his defense.

661
00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:39,880
Speaker 2: His he his games played in his career are fourteen, sixteen, sixteen,

662
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:43,080
Speaker 2: twelve fourteen, So he gets dinged and misses a little

663
00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:45,200
Speaker 2: bit of time, but it's not a guy who is

664
00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:49,560
Speaker 2: consistently missing big time. He suffered as injury similar to

665
00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:52,040
Speaker 2: one you suffered, demand, I can tell by the way

666
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:57,160
Speaker 2: he fell, except oddly evidently it wasn't so your injury

667
00:46:57,239 --> 00:47:00,719
Speaker 2: was at this part of your collar bone. His was

668
00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:03,600
Speaker 2: at this part, the one that connects to the sternum.

669
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:06,800
Speaker 2: So they said that it's more associated with a car crash.

670
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:10,439
Speaker 2: Tyreek Hill suffered this injury as well. Listen, he might

671
00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:14,680
Speaker 2: miss week one, it's not. It doesn't change my opinion

672
00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:19,160
Speaker 2: on playing your guys as smart. And I'll be honest, oddly,

673
00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:23,320
Speaker 2: I mean, I feel bad for Hollywood, but I'd prefer

674
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 2: it be this than like a hamstring tweak or an

675
00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:31,319
Speaker 2: ankle sprain, some lower body injury that's gonna slow you

676
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:34,680
Speaker 2: down and hamper you throughout the year. This is pretty simple.

677
00:47:35,040 --> 00:47:38,120
Speaker 2: The bone's gonna heal and he's gonna be fine. So no,

678
00:47:39,239 --> 00:47:42,600
Speaker 2: it seems like everyone else was a lot more worried

679
00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:45,239
Speaker 2: about that than I was. Next.

680
00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:48,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, so it's been a while since we had some

681
00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:51,960
Speaker 3: football to watch, so naturally everybody's gonna blow up with

682
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:55,799
Speaker 3: the smallest thing. But sometimes those overreactions turn out to

683
00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:58,480
Speaker 3: be the truth. So let's decide what is what in

684
00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:01,920
Speaker 3: a game of factor over react. So you may be

685
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:05,000
Speaker 3: onto something. You may be onto something with your guy Caleb.

686
00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:08,640
Speaker 3: In his first on field action, Williams is all but perfect.

687
00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:11,680
Speaker 3: Lead in the field by a large margin of inefficiency.

688
00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:12,760
Speaker 3: Here is numbers.

689
00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:17,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, yeah, number point ninety seven EPA per play.

690
00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:19,719
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow was number two amongst quarterbacks this week with

691
00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:21,879
Speaker 2: point six to two. So yeah, that's a big number.

692
00:48:21,920 --> 00:48:25,800
Speaker 3: Go ahead, company, So factor overreact, Caleb Williams is the

693
00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:28,719
Speaker 3: number one quarterback in the NFC, all.

694
00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:31,799
Speaker 2: Right, So that's probably an overreaction right now. It might

695
00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:34,960
Speaker 2: be a fact by the end of the Year, competing

696
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:39,799
Speaker 2: with Stafford Dak your guy, Jordan Love, Jared Goff would

697
00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:42,319
Speaker 2: be the biggest competitors for it. I think he could

698
00:48:42,360 --> 00:48:44,200
Speaker 2: be number one by the end of the year. I

699
00:48:44,239 --> 00:48:47,960
Speaker 2: do think, okay, all the great quarterbacks are in the AFC,

700
00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:50,400
Speaker 2: and I think Caleb is going to be a special,

701
00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:52,040
Speaker 2: special player. Next.

702
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:55,360
Speaker 3: Speaking of Jordan Love, he picked up right where he

703
00:48:55,440 --> 00:48:58,560
Speaker 3: left off, launching a bomb for a sixty five yard

704
00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:01,240
Speaker 3: touchdown a few plays into only drive for the game.

705
00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:06,040
Speaker 3: Fact overreact Jordan Love is in for an MVP caliber season.

706
00:49:07,120 --> 00:49:11,400
Speaker 2: I think that's an overreaction. I the MVP caliber is

707
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:14,120
Speaker 2: a bridge too far, in part because I just don't

708
00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:18,040
Speaker 2: think the UH Packers are going to have the record

709
00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:22,040
Speaker 2: requisite for their quarterback to win the MVP the way

710
00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:24,400
Speaker 2: the MVP voters have done it lately. You have to

711
00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:27,520
Speaker 2: win twelve or thirteen or fourteen games. I don't think

712
00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:29,640
Speaker 2: the Packers are going to do that. But I do

713
00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:31,840
Speaker 2: think Jordan Love is one of the most interesting players

714
00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:34,000
Speaker 2: in the league to watch this year because we've seen

715
00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:36,600
Speaker 2: him play one season, first half of which he was

716
00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:38,840
Speaker 2: not good, the second half of which he was an

717
00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:41,879
Speaker 2: A plus, and he's being able to see.

718
00:49:41,600 --> 00:49:44,040
Speaker 3: The bigger what ifs of this season come it to come.

719
00:49:44,160 --> 00:49:47,520
Speaker 2: Yes, and they've paid him as if they know, so

720
00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:49,320
Speaker 2: I'm super excited to see it next.

721
00:49:50,200 --> 00:49:53,080
Speaker 3: The Broncos were laughed at for picking a senior citizen

722
00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:56,319
Speaker 3: with a twelfth overall pick, but bo Nicks quieted the

723
00:49:56,360 --> 00:49:59,680
Speaker 3: doubters early leading four scoring drives in his preseason debut

724
00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:03,480
Speaker 3: versus the Colts. Factor overreact bo Nix is heen?

725
00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:08,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, that's obviously overreacting. Here's the deal. I didn't

726
00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:12,080
Speaker 2: think Bonix played very well, and Broncos fans are mad

727
00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:15,920
Speaker 2: because I said this on TV and they're like, oh,

728
00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:18,919
Speaker 2: Nick's just a Broncos hater. Let me tell you something

729
00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:23,520
Speaker 2: I don't. There are the Chiefs Broncos used to be

730
00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:27,719
Speaker 2: a rivalry. That's pretty good. Um, the this is a

731
00:50:27,719 --> 00:50:31,239
Speaker 2: good photoshop if you're not watching on YouTube. Uh, the

732
00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:34,399
Speaker 2: Chiefs Broncos used to be a rivalry. Then we beat

733
00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:37,440
Speaker 2: them sixteen times in a row and it stopped being

734
00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:45,120
Speaker 2: a rivalry. The the NFL on their YouTube page has

735
00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:47,759
Speaker 2: for every rookie quarterback if you type in the name

736
00:50:47,800 --> 00:50:50,440
Speaker 2: of the quarterback and then every throw, they have a

737
00:50:50,480 --> 00:50:54,319
Speaker 2: cutup of every throw. I think anyone that is just

738
00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:57,719
Speaker 2: looking at the numbers from bow Nix's debut should go

739
00:50:57,840 --> 00:51:02,960
Speaker 2: watch the throws and why much his skittishness in the pocket.

740
00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:07,160
Speaker 2: I was not impressed. Maybe I again, you can say

741
00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:09,840
Speaker 2: I'm being biased. It's that because I didn't think it

742
00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:12,600
Speaker 2: was that good coming out of college. Go watch the throws.

743
00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:16,360
Speaker 2: But I think the Broncos are in the worst quarterback

744
00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:20,400
Speaker 2: shape of anyone in the league other than maybe the Raiders.

745
00:51:21,280 --> 00:51:24,360
Speaker 2: It's Zach Wilson, Jared Stidham, and bow Nicks. And I

746
00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:26,880
Speaker 2: don't think Nix has it. I know everyone liked how

747
00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:29,080
Speaker 2: he played this weekend. I'm not one of those people.

748
00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:33,440
Speaker 3: Next all right, tenth overall pick JJ McCarthy had a

749
00:51:33,480 --> 00:51:36,480
Speaker 3: solid showing in his debut. It is after you threw

750
00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:39,560
Speaker 3: an interception on the first on the first possession. Sam

751
00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:42,120
Speaker 3: Donald is a starter for now, but Sam Donald is

752
00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:47,040
Speaker 3: obviously Sam Donald a fact overreact. JJ will start Week one.

753
00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:51,279
Speaker 2: I think he might. And here's the deal, So this

754
00:51:51,360 --> 00:51:53,800
Speaker 2: is I wasn't high on JJ coming out of college

755
00:51:53,800 --> 00:51:57,680
Speaker 2: at all either. Similar to Knicks, I thought he played excellent.

756
00:51:58,360 --> 00:52:02,200
Speaker 2: I was really impressed by what he did. And yeah,

757
00:52:02,320 --> 00:52:05,040
Speaker 2: I know he and Nix had similar numbers. I thought

758
00:52:05,160 --> 00:52:11,440
Speaker 2: JJ's were way more believable and duplicable, and so I thought, listen,

759
00:52:11,480 --> 00:52:14,320
Speaker 2: we know who Sam Darnold is, and so if JJ

760
00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:16,840
Speaker 2: is anywhere close to ready, he should be the starter.

761
00:52:17,120 --> 00:52:18,480
Speaker 2: Next makes sense.

762
00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:21,680
Speaker 3: Noah Lyles has had quite the week, and now he

763
00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:23,400
Speaker 3: has Tyreek Tyreek Hill.

764
00:52:23,360 --> 00:52:26,319
Speaker 2: Coming after him. We're gonna play a little video. Would

765
00:52:26,360 --> 00:52:27,840
Speaker 2: you like to race him when he gets home? I

766
00:52:27,840 --> 00:52:29,840
Speaker 2: will beat no alloos. You think I will beat no

767
00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:33,040
Speaker 2: Allows a lot? I won't beat him by alive, but

768
00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:33,640
Speaker 2: I would.

769
00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:35,160
Speaker 1: Beat no I'd like to see that happen.

770
00:52:35,920 --> 00:52:41,279
Speaker 2: Okah, Listen, I love Tyreek, but I mean relax man,

771
00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:44,000
Speaker 2: and I don't even really like Noahliles. But he's not

772
00:52:44,040 --> 00:52:45,239
Speaker 2: gonna beat Noahliles.

773
00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:49,360
Speaker 3: Wait, so maybe this is just ignorance by me, But

774
00:52:49,520 --> 00:52:52,000
Speaker 3: I don't think. I don't think Tyreek is talking out

775
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:53,359
Speaker 3: a cat. I don't think he's talking on a hand

776
00:52:53,440 --> 00:52:55,200
Speaker 3: right there. I think there is a change.

777
00:52:55,239 --> 00:52:57,600
Speaker 2: I think Tyreek Hill could win the one hundred meters

778
00:52:57,680 --> 00:53:01,080
Speaker 2: gold medal. No, that's what Noel Liles just did.

779
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:04,359
Speaker 3: Okay, Yeah, but I mean I'm figuring they're just talking

780
00:53:04,400 --> 00:53:07,040
Speaker 3: to like a straight line regular race like, yeah.

781
00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:09,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what the one hundred meters is is a

782
00:53:09,160 --> 00:53:16,400
Speaker 2: straight line, regular race. Yeah, without pay. They're all close,

783
00:53:17,200 --> 00:53:20,840
Speaker 2: They're I mean one hundred meters dash, They're all close.

784
00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:25,960
Speaker 2: But no, I listen, Tyree Tyreek Hill. Listen, here's the

785
00:53:26,160 --> 00:53:30,000
Speaker 2: other thing forgive being fastest man in the world. Tyreek

786
00:53:30,080 --> 00:53:32,759
Speaker 2: Hill currently I don't think is the fastest man in

787
00:53:32,840 --> 00:53:37,960
Speaker 2: the A f C. Xavier Worthy records. So yeah, exactly,

788
00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:41,640
Speaker 2: so I listen, Tyreek kill is unbelievable. He's not faster

789
00:53:41,800 --> 00:53:44,880
Speaker 2: than Noah. Wait what if what if they both had

790
00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:45,360
Speaker 2: pads on?

791
00:53:45,480 --> 00:53:45,640
Speaker 3: Though?

792
00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:50,280
Speaker 2: Oh? That I then I would probably buy Tyreek because

793
00:53:50,360 --> 00:53:55,200
Speaker 2: Lyles isn't used to that sure on a football But you.

794
00:53:55,239 --> 00:53:57,560
Speaker 3: See how you just said that that no, Allowles isn't

795
00:53:57,600 --> 00:54:01,640
Speaker 3: used to having football pads and just like Tyreek hillsn't

796
00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:02,440
Speaker 3: used to having them off.

797
00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:06,239
Speaker 2: So it's like, no, I get that. So if we're saying,

798
00:54:06,320 --> 00:54:09,640
Speaker 2: but I when a race, I typically when people race,

799
00:54:09,680 --> 00:54:12,279
Speaker 2: they don't put on full football pads. He's talking about

800
00:54:12,280 --> 00:54:15,439
Speaker 2: beating Noah Liles. I assume it means on the track

801
00:54:15,640 --> 00:54:18,759
Speaker 2: or on the football field, but just a regular race,

802
00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:22,200
Speaker 2: not pad it up. He's not beating Noah Liles, He's

803
00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:26,879
Speaker 2: just not He's not even beating COVID stricken. Noahlliles, quick

804
00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:34,920
Speaker 2: break answer your listener questions. Next, what's right? All right?

805
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:37,120
Speaker 2: Welcome back in. I gotta get to work to monsday.

806
00:54:37,200 --> 00:54:39,040
Speaker 2: So let's go through some of these listener questions.

807
00:54:39,160 --> 00:54:42,839
Speaker 3: Quick Scott Frasier, Nick, how many teams will how many

808
00:54:42,920 --> 00:54:46,360
Speaker 3: teams will have buyers remorse on the overpaid quarterback situation?

809
00:54:46,800 --> 00:54:49,520
Speaker 3: Over under five and a half? Oh?

810
00:54:49,760 --> 00:54:52,000
Speaker 2: Under five and a half. I mean, listen, I think

811
00:54:52,040 --> 00:54:56,279
Speaker 2: the Dolphins will with Tua. I obviously don't think the

812
00:54:56,480 --> 00:55:00,759
Speaker 2: Jags will. I think the the are going to be

813
00:55:00,840 --> 00:55:03,600
Speaker 2: fine with golf but so but some will, but it's

814
00:55:03,640 --> 00:55:05,959
Speaker 2: not going to be anywhere close to six. So way under.

815
00:55:06,120 --> 00:55:10,480
Speaker 3: Next, Kai Jelly, with Joe Burrow healthy and in camp.

816
00:55:10,680 --> 00:55:15,279
Speaker 3: Who is the biggest threat to Kansas City in the AFC? Bengals, Bills, Texans?

817
00:55:16,680 --> 00:55:18,759
Speaker 2: I think the Ravens probably should be included in that.

818
00:55:19,040 --> 00:55:21,759
Speaker 2: Some people would at least uh, the Texans are going

819
00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:25,440
Speaker 2: to be a trendy pick. With that said, even though

820
00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:28,080
Speaker 2: I have real concerns about the Bengals defense, I'm going

821
00:55:28,120 --> 00:55:32,120
Speaker 2: to give the Bengals respect and say the Bengals because

822
00:55:32,160 --> 00:55:35,400
Speaker 2: they're the only team that has beaten the Chiefs in

823
00:55:35,680 --> 00:55:38,840
Speaker 2: a game that matters, and so, you know, except for

824
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:41,319
Speaker 2: Tom Brady teams, and he's gone now. So I'm going

825
00:55:41,400 --> 00:55:42,439
Speaker 2: to say the Bengals next.

826
00:55:44,239 --> 00:55:48,160
Speaker 3: Zaia Arno Fullert Nick, do you think coach Mangini has

827
00:55:48,200 --> 00:55:51,000
Speaker 3: thrown extra shade towards Mahomes and the Chiefs because he

828
00:55:51,080 --> 00:55:54,160
Speaker 3: realizes that they're actually threatening the Patriots in Tom.

829
00:55:55,440 --> 00:56:00,440
Speaker 2: Yes, I yes, I do, and I will tell coach yes,

830
00:56:00,560 --> 00:56:02,240
Speaker 2: I absolutely do. Next.

831
00:56:03,440 --> 00:56:06,040
Speaker 3: Uh, did Jokichen Serbia prove it it is better to

832
00:56:06,120 --> 00:56:09,000
Speaker 3: win the bronze than the silver in the in Olympic basketball.

833
00:56:10,920 --> 00:56:14,120
Speaker 2: That's always true in these team competitions because then you

834
00:56:14,239 --> 00:56:17,160
Speaker 2: go out with a win. Zim's been going out with

835
00:56:17,239 --> 00:56:19,080
Speaker 2: a win and going out with a loss, you get

836
00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:24,480
Speaker 2: to celebrate. Yeah, and so yeah too, yoga absolutely the

837
00:56:24,719 --> 00:56:25,040
Speaker 2: all right.

838
00:56:25,160 --> 00:56:30,040
Speaker 3: Next, Trey hasan question is is Katie Leadeki the most

839
00:56:30,160 --> 00:56:33,399
Speaker 3: underappreciated Olympic athlete? I feel like she does not get

840
00:56:33,480 --> 00:56:36,400
Speaker 3: enough credit in the mainstream media about how dominant she is.

841
00:56:37,960 --> 00:56:42,480
Speaker 2: Uh, I mean probably to a degree. I don't think

842
00:56:42,560 --> 00:56:45,680
Speaker 2: she's totally underappreciated. I think people know. But I also

843
00:56:45,800 --> 00:56:49,440
Speaker 2: think because her races are so long, it doesn't have

844
00:56:49,719 --> 00:56:53,279
Speaker 2: like the excitement of you know, Phelps's races. But yeah,

845
00:56:53,400 --> 00:56:56,880
Speaker 2: she is an all time legend and the greatest female

846
00:56:56,920 --> 00:56:59,160
Speaker 2: swimmer ever, I mean, hands down, all right.

847
00:56:59,280 --> 00:57:04,960
Speaker 3: Last one, Jeremy contrasts as early US Open tennis favorite.

848
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:07,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, obviously, I told you I'm picking al

849
00:57:07,840 --> 00:57:10,440
Speaker 2: Karez in every major that exists when he's healthy for

850
00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:13,400
Speaker 2: the next eight years. So Carlos Alcarez and I'll be

851
00:57:13,440 --> 00:57:14,800
Speaker 2: out there. I didn't. I'm not going to be a

852
00:57:14,840 --> 00:57:17,320
Speaker 2: ball boy, but I'll be out there for it, all right.
