Speaker 2: First things first will be whole. We will be whole,
Speaker 2: and we will be full blown football for the next
Speaker 2: six months. So that's the schedule, Demons. Great to see you.
Speaker 2: I sent Demanse a great video this weekend of his
Speaker 2: mother and I coming out of nightclub on Saturday night,
Speaker 2: Saturday night, and there was a guy with an awesome
Speaker 2: Boa constrictor that the your mom had had just enough
Speaker 2: uh repisado sodas that she was like, let me hold
Speaker 2: that snake and I and uh, we got a video
Speaker 2: of that. It was a beautiful snake.
Speaker 3: You also sent me a picture of the Spanish thing
Speaker 3: with the dog.
Speaker 2: That's what I thought you were going to bring up.
Speaker 3: So did you did you know that there was writing
Speaker 3: on that or did you just see the picture?
Speaker 2: It turned it? So let me so let me We're
Speaker 2: gonna get to Olympic basketball in just a moment. But
Speaker 2: let me give context here. So we had a miniature
Speaker 2: schnauzer uh for sixteen years. I guess, well, I guess
Speaker 2: I had him for thirteen years. You because he was
Speaker 2: three when I came into the picture, so you guys
Speaker 2: had the and there was a tin. There was a small,
Speaker 2: like square photograph sitting on the kitchen counter, and it
Speaker 2: was Mo when he was a puppy. It looked like
Speaker 2: like or at least very young. It was a smaller
Speaker 2: Mo than I had ever seen and I and I
Speaker 2: saw it, and I got happy because that was my
Speaker 2: first dog ever. And I when he got old and
Speaker 2: sick at the end, I really took care of him.
Speaker 2: And I saw him and I just said, oh Mo.
Speaker 2: I'll be honest with the audience, I said, oh Moosi
Speaker 2: woes because that's what we called it. And your mom
Speaker 2: said to me, look at the back of it. And
Speaker 2: I look at the back of it, and there is
Speaker 2: some of the worst Spanish I've ever read. It was
Speaker 2: very clearly part of Demanse's school project or something where
Speaker 2: either he was supposed to write the description of the
Speaker 2: picture on the picture, or he was supposed to hold
Speaker 2: up a picture and like say what it is and
Speaker 2: was cheating by having reading off the back. Either way,
Speaker 2: it wasn't going to be successful because I don't think
Speaker 2: that was proper Spanish.
Speaker 3: Regardless, it came out to my dog. I fear great leaders.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I saw that, and I sent Demanse a
Speaker 2: picture of both. It's very funny. Yeah. So no, so
Speaker 2: the sent Demonse a video of his mother and I
Speaker 2: walking out of a club and seeing a Boa constrictor.
Speaker 2: I asked the guy who was a ball python, because
Speaker 2: those are the snakes you have? He said, no, it's
Speaker 2: a boa and uh, and then send him that. All right. Uh.
Speaker 2: Somebody says, did you bike home from the club like Booker? No,
Speaker 2: this actually was a place within walking distance of my house.
Speaker 2: So I the there was a big Harlem this is
Speaker 2: Harlem week right now, and there was a big kind
Speaker 2: of block party right by Trentage where we do the
Speaker 2: show from. And then after that there were stuff going
Speaker 2: on a block away from us. So we just we
Speaker 2: just ended up walking down from there. Okay, here's what
Speaker 2: missed the cut. It's all Jets nonsense. The Jets traded
Speaker 2: for a player who wanted out of Philadelphia because he
Speaker 2: wanted a new contract. They evidently thought, well, you might
Speaker 2: want a new contract with the you know, defending NFC
Speaker 2: champion Philadelphia Eagles, but you won't want a new contract
Speaker 2: with the most embarrassing organization in the league will trade
Speaker 2: for you. That player shockingly still wants a new contract
Speaker 2: and now has demanded a trade before ever setting foot
Speaker 2: in the facility. Evidently, Woody Johnson gave Aaron Rodgers the
Speaker 2: Queen's honey. I don't totally understand this, Daniel tried to
Speaker 2: explain it to me. I still don't understand it. But
Speaker 2: I'm excited to read Ian O'Connor's book. And Rogers regrets
Speaker 2: his immunized comments. And if you read that excerpt, what
Speaker 2: he said was, yeah, I gay, that's the one thing
Speaker 2: the media could really hit me on. So at least
Speaker 2: from the excerpt, it wasn't so much. I regretted it
Speaker 2: because I lied. It was. I regretted it because I
Speaker 2: gave people ammunition. But I'll read the book at hole.
Speaker 2: Maybe i'll read that on the flight this way, I
Speaker 2: probably won't read it on the flight, to be totally honest,
Speaker 2: I don't have it yet, but i'll read it at
Speaker 2: some point. Get back to you guys on it, all right.
Speaker 2: Demon's Oh, so they're asking, is the book club? No,
Speaker 2: that was a failed experiment. I didn't really know how
Speaker 2: to execute the book club properly, all right, demonse, Let's
Speaker 2: get to it. Team USA.
Speaker 3: Team USA Basketball claimed gold once again after that legendary
Speaker 3: heater from Stephen Curry in that final game. Obviously, Bron
Speaker 3: played very well throughout. You actually called for co MVPs
Speaker 3: for Stephan Lebron, which I thought was very fair of you.
Speaker 3: But do you think this will be the last time
Speaker 3: that we see Lebron and Steph Curry playing high stakes games.
Speaker 2: It's on the board, which is unfortunate. It's also why,
Speaker 2: and we'll get to this more in a bit, It's
Speaker 2: why I'd like to see them team up. But first
Speaker 2: let's talk about Lebron and Steph and their performances and
Speaker 2: why I thought co MVPs would have been the way
Speaker 2: to go. Those two guys, along with Durant, were the
Speaker 2: story of this team. Three of the oldest players in
Speaker 2: league history, Three guys who some believe are three of
Speaker 2: the ten greatest players ever. Three guys who everyone believes
Speaker 2: are three of the twenty greatest players ever, all of
Speaker 2: whom are past their athletic prime. Reminding everyone that when
Speaker 2: the stakes are the highest, there's not a long list,
Speaker 2: and the list might honestly be one name long. Jokic
Speaker 2: of guys you definitively want over them. Now. Durant didn't
Speaker 2: really get to show it the whole tournament because he
Speaker 2: had the calf injury and you know, didn't really play
Speaker 2: or didn't play until in any of the exhibition games.
Speaker 2: But then in the first game he did play, what
Speaker 2: did he make his first ten shots from the field.
Speaker 2: But that kind of made him a clear third actor
Speaker 2: in this movie. And this tournament was about Stephan Lebron
Speaker 2: and the US was gonna win or lose based on
Speaker 2: Stephan Lebron, and Steph nominated Lebron to be the flag bearer.
Speaker 2: I still think the coolest image from these Olympics is
Speaker 2: Lebron holding the flag on the boat going down this
Speaker 2: pardon me the same, and Coco Goff there and the
Speaker 2: whole team there and this old man with gray and
Speaker 2: his beard being like, I'm going to remind the entire
Speaker 2: world one more time that I still might be as
Speaker 2: far as the ability to control, figure out, understand, make
Speaker 2: the right decision, get the ball to the right people,
Speaker 2: the number one draft pick alive even though I'm almost
Speaker 2: forty years old. What the And I'll get to the
Speaker 2: step part in a moment, but what these Olympics showed
Speaker 2: me start to finish was if Lebron wanted to say, Okay,
Speaker 2: what I'm going to do now in my career is
Speaker 2: be purely the Magic Johnson roll, that a forty year
Speaker 2: old Lebron James could be eighty percent of peak Magic Johnson.
Speaker 2: Magic might be the fourth greatest player of all time.
Speaker 2: Lebron in these Olympics played the Magic Johnson role better
Speaker 2: than Magic Johnson played it in the ninety two Olympics. Now, Magic,
Speaker 2: to be fair, was a year removed from playing competitive
Speaker 2: basketball because he had retired, but was still excellent. But
Speaker 2: Lebron's ability to read the game, read the floor, make
Speaker 2: the right play and then still and this is the
Speaker 2: part Demon's a that was remarkable to me. He's still
Speaker 2: the fastest guy on the court ninety percent of possessions.
Speaker 2: He can't activate it as often as he used to
Speaker 2: be able to. He can't play as many at that
Speaker 2: high of a level as he used to be able to,
Speaker 2: but as far as in bursts into end speed. The
Speaker 2: only guy out there who I felt on any team
Speaker 2: in the tournament that we the US played against, or
Speaker 2: on his own team that could have kept up with
Speaker 2: him was Anthony Edwards. It's the only guy. And when
Speaker 2: in the big spots, when Lebron got a defensive rebound
Speaker 2: and just said screw this, I'm getting to the basket.
Speaker 2: He got there with impunity every time at sixty five
Speaker 2: thousand minutes and almost forty years old, and he was
Speaker 2: the steady hand. And I know the exhibition play didn't
Speaker 2: play into who tournament MVP was, but I do think
Speaker 2: Lebron saving the US in those two close exhibition games
Speaker 2: played a role in the US's ability to come back
Speaker 2: again in Serbia because I think there was a sense
Speaker 2: of invincibility. And had they lost one of those quote
Speaker 2: meaningless games to South Sudan or whomever earlier, would they
Speaker 2: then when they fell down nineteen to Serbia, when they
Speaker 2: were down thirteen at the end of the third quarter,
Speaker 2: would they have said, oh man, this ain't we ain't
Speaker 2: gonna do this. And so Lebron, the fact that he
Speaker 2: scored in double digits every single game, had five plus
Speaker 2: assists in every single game, shot better than fifty percent
Speaker 2: from the field in every single game, led the team
Speaker 2: in minutes, rebounds, assists, field goal percentage, and scored in
Speaker 2: the tournament two less points than step So we ended
Speaker 2: up missing out on leading them in points by two
Speaker 2: total points. That to me is and I'll add one
Speaker 2: other point. In the Serbia game, if Steph was the
Speaker 2: best player, he was one bet. In the s A game,
Speaker 2: he was phenomenal in the biggest spot. That's the Lebron
Speaker 2: for MVP case. The step for MVP case is much
Speaker 2: shorter and much simpler. In the semifinals and the finals,
Speaker 2: he saved the team and was historically prolific from three.
Speaker 2: So in the semifinals he scored the second most points
Speaker 2: any play any men's US men's player has ever scored.
Speaker 2: That's what made that semifinal game so special. It was
Speaker 2: he scored thirty six, the second most points. Only Melos
Speaker 2: ever scored more. He scored thirty seven. Lebron had a
Speaker 2: triple double, the second Olympic us men's Olympic triple double
Speaker 2: ever uh. The previous one was done by Lebron twelve
Speaker 2: years ago. So two of the greatest individual US men's
Speaker 2: Olympic performance has ever happened in the same game. And
Speaker 2: then in the France game, those final three minutes will
Speaker 2: go down in history. Those final three minutes by Steph
Speaker 2: will be top of mind that people think about when
Speaker 2: they think about the greatest Steph Curry moments. And that
Speaker 2: final shot Demons is the iconic one because it was
Speaker 2: so laughable, but it was also kind of the least
Speaker 2: important one. The game was not totally in hand, but
Speaker 2: it was less than a minute left, they were up six.
Speaker 2: It was they were in good shape. The first one
Speaker 2: was the biggest shot. The second biggest shot, I would
Speaker 2: argue of the tournament. I'll get to the biggest shot
Speaker 2: in a moment when all of a sudden France had
Speaker 2: cut it to three and Steph with two point fifty
Speaker 2: left hits that top of the key three pointer to
Speaker 2: call everyone down, and then goes and hits three more.
Speaker 2: So there, to me was a legitimate argument for either
Speaker 2: of those guys, and I think they were so they
Speaker 2: embraced each other so much literally and figuratively in the
Speaker 2: tournament that it would have been really cool to have
Speaker 2: co MVPs. Also, I don't think the Olympics needs a
Speaker 2: tournament MVP. It's a weird thing. They don't do it
Speaker 2: every time. They did it in four and man who
Speaker 2: won it. They did it in twenty twenty and Durant
Speaker 2: won it, and they did it this year and Lebron
Speaker 2: won it. But I think Stephan Lebron sharing it would
Speaker 2: have been awesome. I also find the discussion around it
Speaker 2: to be telling because there has been an embrace Ofdeph
Speaker 2: Curry by some of the most vocal Lebron James fans
Speaker 2: that oddly has not been reciprocated in the other direction,
Speaker 2: where a lot of the most vocal Steph fans are
Speaker 2: you know, furious about the MVP or whatever it is.
Speaker 2: And I the I don't really care about that, but
Speaker 2: I find it interesting because the two athletes themselves have
Speaker 2: laid their swords down. There was a time when I
Speaker 2: don't want to say there was dislike, but there was.
Speaker 2: It was a felt like an on and off the
Speaker 2: court rivalry. And that time has passed where both of
Speaker 2: these guys know, man, we're not going to have that
Speaker 2: many more moments like this, and I think they really
Speaker 2: embraced this. I also, real quick before we get to
Speaker 2: the other stuff, found it was telling to me there
Speaker 2: is there are some folks that so dislike Lebron. They
Speaker 2: found themselves openly rooting against Team USA. It was like
Speaker 2: a weird and that's not guessing. It was folks admitting
Speaker 2: it and being like, no, I find this team unlikable
Speaker 2: or whatever it was. And that was mostly about Lebron,
Speaker 2: which if your basketball fandom has corroded your brain enough
Speaker 2: to where you can't enjoy what if you did not
Speaker 2: enjoy watching Team USA, then I just don't know if
Speaker 2: you're actually a basketball fan. That was some of the
Speaker 2: coolest basketball I've ever seen in my life, and it's
Speaker 2: something that will never be able to be duplicated again,
Speaker 2: And if we're being honest, had never been duplicated in
Speaker 2: the past, because you can say the ninety two Dream
Speaker 2: Team with Michael Magic and Larry, but Larry was in
Speaker 2: a back brace and Magic was a year removed from
Speaker 2: the league and the best player, and Jordan shot worse
Speaker 2: from the field than anyone in the on his team
Speaker 2: by a mile. The best player in that was Barkley.
Speaker 2: Jordan was the best player, but Barkley played the best.
Speaker 2: I should say, I don't know that we're ever going
Speaker 2: to get another chance. We're three Pantheon players all team
Speaker 2: up together on Team USA and all deliver special moments.
Speaker 2: And I'll get to Durant's piece of it again in
Speaker 2: a moment. And so if you can't appreciate that, then
Speaker 2: I don't know what to tell you. And so now
Speaker 2: let's get to your actual question.
Speaker 3: Demonse go Ahea, Oh yeah, no, I mean, my sakes,
Speaker 3: do you think I was gonna ask? I mean you
Speaker 3: touched on the MVPs. Uh, which which guy do you
Speaker 3: think had a bigger legacy boost with this Olympic run
Speaker 3: between Stephan and Lebron?
Speaker 2: I you know, I think they're very different. I think
Speaker 2: that for staph it was the one thing he didn't have.
Speaker 2: He had never played in the Olympics and he had
Speaker 2: never won a gold and so for him to end up,
Speaker 2: for him to end up these last few years have
Speaker 2: been really important for Steph to win the title without
Speaker 2: Durant and to then do what he did in these
Speaker 2: Olympics was a real reminder of what a killer he is.
Speaker 2: Like it's everyone's known, what a great shooter, what a
Speaker 2: great teammate, what a great ball handler. The two playoff
Speaker 2: run plus these Olympics reminded you what a killer he was.
Speaker 2: For Lebron, it's a different story. Which is it. It
Speaker 2: will impact his legacy more years down the road than
Speaker 2: it does right now whenever, like what Lebron is doing
Speaker 2: now to the record books and to oldest ever discussions,
Speaker 2: like I want that this is what's going to happen
Speaker 2: in five years. Okay, in five years, there's going to
Speaker 2: be a basketball game being played between let me think
Speaker 2: of what the example would be Jannis and Wimby and
Speaker 2: Wimby in the I'm this is fan fiction to a degree,
Speaker 2: so this is not a specific example, but just follow
Speaker 2: me for a moment. Wimby is going to do something
Speaker 2: in that game where he crosses this many points or
Speaker 2: this many rebounds or whatever, some threshold, and they'll put
Speaker 2: up a graphic and it will say the youngest players
Speaker 2: to do X, and they'll show Wimby on it, and
Speaker 2: the record holder will be Lebron because he's the youngest
Speaker 2: guy to hit basically every milestone there is in the league.
Speaker 2: And then in that same game, an old legend will
Speaker 2: be playing and it will show and they'll cross a
Speaker 2: threshold a forty point triple double, whatever, something like that,
Speaker 2: and it will show the oldest player to do why,
Speaker 2: And on that list, the oldest will be Lebron. Lebron
Speaker 2: owning all the youngest ever records and the oldest ever record.
Speaker 2: Lebron having two great Olympic performances sixteen years apart is
Speaker 2: a remarkable thing. So let me see if I can
Speaker 2: pull up the numbers, because I think that Basketball Reference
Speaker 2: has it. So the two thousand and eight So the
Speaker 2: two thousand and eight Olympic team, Lebron led to the
Speaker 2: team in points with Kobe a close or I'm sorry,
Speaker 2: that's wrong, Dwayne Wade led them in points with one
Speaker 2: twenty eight. Lebron had the second most points with one
Speaker 2: twenty four. So Lebron in that tournament in two thousand
Speaker 2: and eight on Team USA was second in points third,
Speaker 2: and rebounds second and assists. So top three points, rebounds,
Speaker 2: assists at two thousand and eight at twenty three years old.
Speaker 2: For him to then be top three in points, rebounds
Speaker 2: and assists for Olympics later at thirty nine years old
Speaker 2: is the type of stuff when they show whenever the
Speaker 2: next Olympian to get men's basketball olympian to get a
Speaker 2: triple doubleis okay, And when they show the list on
Speaker 2: the screen and it says Lebron James in twenty twelve,
Speaker 2: Lebron James in twenty twenty four, and this person. That's
Speaker 2: where his legacy stuff is going to crystallize, is the
Speaker 2: full width and breadth of the basketball life that has
Speaker 2: spanned multiple playing styles, rule changes, and generations. And so
Speaker 2: that to me is what is you know, where the
Speaker 2: legacy stuff comes in. And it's why I want Steph
Speaker 2: and Lebron on the same team. And we've been talking
Speaker 2: about it on this show, Demons, and you can ask
Speaker 2: the follow up question there and I'll explain.
Speaker 3: Week we've talked about it on the show. I feel
Speaker 3: like other folks have talked of it. Why is everybody
Speaker 3: cool with it now with Steph and Lebron? And everybody
Speaker 3: hated Katie for doing it a while back.
Speaker 2: Because again, people need to remember how long it's been.
Speaker 2: Katie joined the Warriors eight years ago. So Kati was
Speaker 2: in his absolute apex prime mid twenties. Steph was in
Speaker 2: his apex prime mid twenties. The last three league MVPs
Speaker 2: at that moment had been Durant, Steph Steph. The Warriors
Speaker 2: had just won a title and then laid Durant's team
Speaker 2: in the conference finals, and it felt like, wait a minute,
Speaker 2: these are two like this is this is a you
Speaker 2: can win championships on your own. You're on great teams.
Speaker 2: The Warriors just won seventy three games. The Warriors right
Speaker 2: now just missed the playoffs. The Lakers just got bounced
Speaker 2: in round one. And I listen, more people watched that
Speaker 2: game than have watched any basketball game of any sort
Speaker 2: in five years. Stephan Lebron move the needle unlike any athletes,
Speaker 2: any basketball playing athletes we have, and I just want
Speaker 2: to see them play relevant basketball games.
Speaker 3: Do you think that either other team is more likely
Speaker 3: to be playing in, you know, games that actually matter
Speaker 3: sooner than the other, Like if Steph or Lebron would
Speaker 3: be more like.
Speaker 2: I mean, I I think I think maybe the Lakers
Speaker 2: just because you have a d there, but they're so
Speaker 2: poorly run and they did so little this offseason, and
Speaker 2: I just want to see if Stephen Lebron could old
Speaker 2: man two man game their way to an NBA finals.
Speaker 2: And I ain't listen the I'm not above Adam Silver
Speaker 2: having an off the record closed door meeting. I mean, like, Lakers,
Speaker 2: Warriors or pick a thirty team, figure it out, figure
Speaker 2: something out. It's good for business, and it will create
Speaker 2: more intrigue and interest rather than these two guys on
Speaker 2: bad teams or mediocre teams. All right, there's the Stephan
Speaker 2: Lebron portion of it demands Uh, let's let's go through
Speaker 2: the player by player. Uh yeah, you want to.
Speaker 3: Go through the Olympics player by player, probably just to
Speaker 3: take a shot of my guy Tatum, but we'll see
Speaker 3: what it's all about.
Speaker 2: No, I do want to because I think, listen, this
Speaker 2: was one of my favorite Olympic Olympics ever and we
Speaker 2: can get more to that in a moment. But let's
Speaker 2: just go through guy by guy. I was trying to
Speaker 2: pull up their numbers as a whole, which I thought
Speaker 2: I was going to easily be able to do, but
Speaker 2: I'm not quite able to do it. Maybe, Daniel, if
Speaker 2: one of you guys can find the actual like their
Speaker 2: overall stats, just text it to me. I can do
Speaker 2: most of it off the top of my head. But
Speaker 2: we've done Stephan Lebron. Now I want to do Durant.
Speaker 2: Durant hit the biggest shot of the tournament the minute
Speaker 2: left up to against Serbia. The Durant Iso let me
Speaker 2: cook twenty footer was the biggest shot of the tournament,
Speaker 2: and Durant also to me, had one of the coolest
Speaker 2: moments of the tournament, which was after the Serbia game,
Speaker 2: when he says to someone recording, He's like, man, this
Speaker 2: is what it's all about. He's like, our families are here.
Speaker 2: We just played in one of the greatest games ever.
Speaker 2: Everyone here will remember tonight for the rest of their lives,
Speaker 2: and that's what it's all about. And Durant's Twitter post
Speaker 2: after passing Lisa Leslie for the most points men's or
Speaker 2: women's in Olympic history with the twelve guys sitting on
Speaker 2: the steps, I just thought was so cool and so
Speaker 2: vintage Kevin Durant, who Katie you know in this as
Speaker 2: he's gotten older, has been incredibly honest. Katie wants to weed,
Speaker 2: play video games, mess with people on Twitter and hoop.
Speaker 2: That's just what he wants to do. And he is
Speaker 2: such a pure basketball player with such a pure love
Speaker 2: for the game. I love it and I'm really glad
Speaker 2: I listen he is. I mean, he's got four goals,
Speaker 2: he's got the most points ever. If you say he's
Speaker 2: the greatest men's basketball Olympian ever, you're probably right. And
Speaker 2: that's part of the legacy. So those are the big three.
Speaker 2: Do you Demonse, do you have a guess on who
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say was either the fourth best player or
Speaker 2: at least the guy who stock, yeah, helped his stock
Speaker 2: the most. Do you have a guess on who I
Speaker 2: would say there, Devin book It is Devin Booker. So
Speaker 2: Booker had a really cool tweet where is somebody had
Speaker 2: tweeted like the US for twenty twenty four is gonna
Speaker 2: need somebody who will set their ego aside do the
Speaker 2: dirty work and something like that, and Booker quote tweeted
Speaker 2: it and said I'll do it and ended up doing
Speaker 2: exactly that. And Booker in this tournament played twenty two
Speaker 2: minutes a night, shot fifty eight percent from the field
Speaker 2: and fifty nine percent from three, and gave you twelve points,
Speaker 2: three rebounds, three assists. And everyone will get to Tatum
Speaker 2: in a moment, everyone mad at Steve Kerr for Tatum
Speaker 2: not playing having a big role. It was Devin Booker's fault.
Speaker 2: Devin Booker was too good, Devin Booker. And did Devin
Speaker 2: Booker's performance in this make me look at him in
Speaker 2: a more complimentary light moving forward? One hundred percent? He
Speaker 2: seemed to have no ego do all the little things,
Speaker 2: you know, couldn't miss, which helps always and was phenomenal
Speaker 2: and so yeah, I mean I the so I thought
Speaker 2: Booker to me was the fourth star. The fifth star
Speaker 2: was Aunt, and part of that's because of his play,
Speaker 2: and part of that's because of his personality. So Aunt
Speaker 2: only played sixteen minutes a game. There were some games
Speaker 2: where it looked like it was a little too much
Speaker 2: for him, and some games where it looked like he
Speaker 2: was just had fire, you know, fire breathing dragon and
Speaker 2: one of the one of the coolest moments of the tournament.
Speaker 2: And shout out Noah Eagle, who if you remind if
Speaker 2: you guys, remind me, we're going too long here. Put
Speaker 2: this in the notes. Remind me on Thursday to say
Speaker 2: something about Noah Egle longer for him. Shout out to
Speaker 2: Noah Eagle for capturing this moment as he did. But
Speaker 2: in the gold medal game, when Durant and Ant are
Speaker 2: on a fast break and Durant finds Ant for a
Speaker 2: lob dunk, that had to be maybe the coolest moment
Speaker 2: of Ant's basketball life, certainly on the short list. That's
Speaker 2: his hero, that's his childhood idol. Like all right, Durant's
Speaker 2: been in the league sixteen years. Aunt Edwards is twenty
Speaker 2: turned twenty three last week. So since Ant Spin, a
Speaker 2: third grader, Durant Spin, an MVP level guy, looked up
Speaker 2: to him, wanted to be him and then be in
Speaker 2: the gold medal game catching an alley oop from him,
Speaker 2: It's unfathomable. And I also loved the role like Aunt
Speaker 2: is so genuinely himself, where I don't know if you
Speaker 2: saw the video Step posted that evidently Aunt after the
Speaker 2: gold medal game said to him, you just showed up
Speaker 2: to Paris three days ago, giving steps because he hadn't
Speaker 2: played well prior to the semi final, and then the
Speaker 2: team giving giving Ant for not knowing how to pop
Speaker 2: champagne and saying you ain't been there. So they're on
Speaker 2: the steps and everyone's shaking up champagne and popping the
Speaker 2: bottles and Aunt doesn't know how to do it, and
Speaker 2: all the three older guys are like, oh, yeah, you
Speaker 2: ain't won yet, You've never did to do it. How
Speaker 2: was the so well? It is so the I mean, honestly,
Speaker 2: the mistake people make is they try to just push
Speaker 2: the cork out when what you need to do is
Speaker 2: twist and pull and so I obviously never won a championship,
Speaker 2: but I've opened champagne bottles and so it was just
Speaker 2: a really endearing moment where he was like, oh, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: I think the next youngest is Halliburton. But yeah, uh so,
Speaker 2: you know there's there's the Anthony Edwards piece. Joel Embiid
Speaker 2: after looking again like it was gonna be another time
Speaker 2: where all right, you know, Embiid in a big spot
Speaker 2: doesn't show up. Showed up in the Serbia game and
Speaker 2: the game before. Had a really big sequence in the
Speaker 2: Serbia game where he scored seven straight points, also gave
Speaker 2: up some bad rebounds. But here is my glass half
Speaker 2: full view of this demanse. This is the first time
Speaker 2: in Joel's life he's played with winning play in big moments.
Speaker 2: He's never played in big games. Biggest game he's ever
Speaker 2: played in is Game seven of Round two a couple times.
Speaker 2: Maybe he learns from this experience the way Mellow Wade
Speaker 2: and Lebron learned from the eight experience with Kobe, that's
Speaker 2: the hope. I thought some of his stuff with some
Speaker 2: of his quotes were kind of clownish, and I'm not
Speaker 2: a huge fan of the suck it crotch chop stuff.
Speaker 2: But he is who he is, but we have to
Speaker 2: give credit words due. He did have a couple excellent games.
Speaker 2: Anthony Davis I thought was steady, reliable force throughout, didn't
Speaker 2: play a ton later in the tournament, was great defensively
Speaker 2: whenever he was out there, just like Bam was. I
Speaker 2: also thought Bam, you know again, didn't play a lot.
Speaker 2: Bam embiide in ad all averaged rounds sixteen minutes a game,
Speaker 2: which makes sense you only have forty minutes, and those
Speaker 2: year three bigs they're gonna split it up. But I
Speaker 2: thought Bam handled himself really well. Bam and Ad were
Speaker 2: great defensively. And then the other guy who I thought
Speaker 2: was sneaky excellent and found himself more prominently featured than
Speaker 2: a lot of people probably expected was Drew. Where Drew
Speaker 2: was the guy that Kerk could just put in there
Speaker 2: and he would do whatever was needed. He is the
Speaker 2: definition of a winning player. Can understand the game, will
Speaker 2: always play great defense, will always be unselfish, and will
Speaker 2: do his thing. Derek White, obviously very early in the tournament,
Speaker 2: had one great game where he couldn't miss, but he
Speaker 2: really was not supposed to be there and was happy
Speaker 2: to be there. Haliburton. Good for him for having a
Speaker 2: good disposition and not complaining about being the you know,
Speaker 2: the guy who didn't get in. This is the argument
Speaker 2: to not having twelve stars on the team, because then
Speaker 2: a star is going to be in the Haliburton role,
Speaker 2: and then there's Tatum who sometimes basketball simple. He didn't
Speaker 2: make a jump shot from the exhibition play to the
Speaker 2: gold medal game outside of three feet. He was zero
Speaker 2: for sixteen. Tough spot, man, And in the gold medal
Speaker 2: game there was a sequence where he had the ball,
Speaker 2: almost turned it over, got it back, and then put
Speaker 2: up this awkward, kind of awful floater and it was
Speaker 2: like man, yeah, yeah, and it was like man, it
Speaker 2: just really seems like his confidence was shaken. It's a
Speaker 2: weird spot. I'm not going to kill him, but his
Speaker 2: disposition was fine. The it's not I don't want to
Speaker 2: say it's not his fault. That sounds almost patronizing, but
Speaker 2: he just just his shot. From the start of the
Speaker 2: Eastern Conference Finals to right now, his SHOT's been off
Speaker 2: and it's messed with his confidence level. And so it's
Speaker 2: obviously not like it's not a great look, but what
Speaker 2: are you gonna do, Like, I just don't know. Like,
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna kill him, and I'm also not gonna
Speaker 2: kill Kerve for not playing him trying to win these
Speaker 2: games and Tatum wasn't playing. Well, you're a Tatum fan, demonse,
Speaker 2: you go. If you think I'm being unfairer, you just
Speaker 2: give your take. Go ahead.
Speaker 3: And in the very beginning I thought it was a
Speaker 3: little strange when Tatum wasn't playing, and then he got
Speaker 3: put in and he didn't hit the shots, and they
Speaker 3: continued to basically not play him.
Speaker 2: I look, but yeah, I just thought.
Speaker 3: It was super weird in the beginning, But then as
Speaker 3: the Olympics continued, it started to make sense. He is
Speaker 3: my guy, but like, you gotta hit shots, and I
Speaker 3: do think that it's a confidence issue. I do think
Speaker 3: he's been in his head since the finals and it
Speaker 3: did not help. He ended up having to play for
Speaker 3: the freaking country a couple months later.
Speaker 2: Well yeah, I mean, it could have helped if you'd
Speaker 2: have played well. But it was what's so weird is
Speaker 2: he was excellent in the last Olympics and so he's
Speaker 2: played great on this stage. It was just a weird spot,
Speaker 2: all right, so let's go ahead. Let's quickly get to
Speaker 2: the other Olympics things and then we'll move on.
Speaker 3: So Team USA basketball has been dominant since two thousand
Speaker 3: and four with all those medals and goals we got,
Speaker 3: but the rest of the world is starting to catch up. Obviously,
Speaker 3: Serbia kept it pretty close, and France is going to
Speaker 3: get better. Wimby's only going to get better. How scared
Speaker 3: of the Team US? The Team USA twenty twenty eight teen?
Speaker 2: B Uh? I mean scared? I mean, so you look
Speaker 2: at this year's team. Staph Lebron Durant are gone in
Speaker 2: four years, so take them off it. Embeid is already
Speaker 2: talking about playing for someone else, so take him off it.
Speaker 2: I don't know that you can rely on that Anthony
Speaker 2: Davis is gonna play again. I would preliminarily possibly take
Speaker 2: him off it. So what's the team look like? Booker?
Speaker 2: I think will come back, and obviously will come back,
Speaker 2: I would think, and Tatum would come back, I would think,
Speaker 2: but maybe he's pissed. The thing is you might have
Speaker 2: alienated Tatum and Brown and you're gonna need him in
Speaker 2: four years. And now obviously there's the young people are like, oh,
Speaker 2: Cooper flag. There's the young guys. I get that Drew
Speaker 2: won't be there in four years, No chance. Drew's another
Speaker 2: one of the older guys that I wasn't even talking about.
Speaker 2: So yeah, like I, they could be in trouble. They
Speaker 2: absolutely I don't want to go through who's going to
Speaker 2: be on the roster. We've spent too much time, but yeah,
Speaker 2: they absolutely could be in trouble. In France is only
Speaker 2: going to be getting more formidable. Uh all right, let's
Speaker 2: move on.
Speaker 3: Yeah, what were your favorite non basketball moments from these Olympics?
Speaker 2: Oh? Man, So the kid from Kansas City, Quincy Hall
Speaker 2: winning the four hundred coming back from fifth place was unbelievable.
Speaker 2: There is a great video of a young female Chinese
Speaker 2: gymnast at the metal stand seeing the two Americans biting
Speaker 2: their medals and then looking over like, oh, is that
Speaker 2: what we're supposed to do? And it just seemed like
Speaker 2: she wanted to be included, so she bit hers. I
Speaker 2: thought that was great. I thought Simone's redemption story was phenomenal.
Speaker 2: I thought I can't get enough of city Ny McLoughlin Lavroni,
Speaker 2: the hurdler and the four hundred meter runner. She is
Speaker 2: a legendary athlete, and the gap between her and the
Speaker 2: second best ever in her sport, fimke Bol is just
Speaker 2: getting bigger. I mean it's like it's like a Ledeci
Speaker 2: style gap. Uh. And there was something else. Oh, I
Speaker 2: was happy Shakari got her gold. That made me really
Speaker 2: happy that they that she got her gold after I
Speaker 2: think deserving it for quite some time. And I also, Uh,
Speaker 2: there was another moment that I oh Novak Novak who
Speaker 2: really wanted uh clearly to win gold and finally did
Speaker 2: even though he beat my guy. Those were great. I
Speaker 2: love the Olympics. Oh, I guess the metal by the
Speaker 2: gymnasts were Italian not American with the where the girl
Speaker 2: was doing what they were doing. Thank you guys. And
Speaker 2: the next Olympics to Monse are in La. Yes. And
Speaker 2: so I am I told you what your wife your
Speaker 2: mom yesterday that I am I am going to a
Speaker 2: year out from the Olympics. Make it very clear to
Speaker 2: Wilds and Brew that during the Olympics we're taking the
Speaker 2: show to La. We're going to do the show from
Speaker 2: the lot in La. Because I want to be I
Speaker 2: was so jealous a Ancha who was there and was
Speaker 2: able to watch the track and field. I don't care
Speaker 2: so much about the swimming. I know people love swimming.
Speaker 2: I'm not as into it. But I want to be
Speaker 2: at track and field every night for an Olympic week
Speaker 2: and to be have it be in LA in prime
Speaker 2: time is going to be so great. And so and
Speaker 2: there's a lot of you know, other stuff that I
Speaker 2: want to see. But I loved these Olympics. I thought
Speaker 2: NBC did a great job with it. Shout out to
Speaker 2: everybody involved. I loved it. And so I you know,
Speaker 2: I the I'm I like the Winter Olympics. I love
Speaker 2: the Summer Olympics, and so and and our women's gymnastics
Speaker 2: team kind of getting vindication and redemption I thought was phenomenal.
Speaker 2: Uh all right, Take that was a long a block,
Speaker 2: Take quick break, comeback, play factor, overreact, What's Right? Welcome back?

Speaker 2: let's get to some football real quick before we get
Speaker 2: some listener questions. Go ahead.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So on our last pot on Thursday, you came
Speaker 3: out and said that or Andy came out that Andy
Speaker 3: Reid was playing as starters. She said that everybody should
Speaker 3: play their starters. Do what Andy Reid's doing. He's the
Speaker 3: greatest coach. Yes, and Hollywood Brown got hurt on the
Speaker 3: first play in the preseason game, So yeah, you think
Speaker 3: you should stick to that.
Speaker 2: It's still a good idea. I'm not going to play
Speaker 2: the result. Yeah, you know, guys might get dinged up,
Speaker 2: but the overall the greater. He's still there.
Speaker 3: What that guy's You're that guy's always hurt. He's your
Speaker 3: most notably hurt guy. Probably should well, I don't.
Speaker 2: I mean, well, listen, I mean it's his first game
Speaker 2: ever with the Chiefs. Uh. Listen. He's a small receiver,
Speaker 2: so he's going to have some injury issues in his defense.
Speaker 2: His he his games played in his career are fourteen, sixteen, sixteen,
Speaker 2: twelve fourteen, So he gets dinged and misses a little
Speaker 2: bit of time, but it's not a guy who is
Speaker 2: consistently missing big time. He suffered as injury similar to
Speaker 2: one you suffered, demand, I can tell by the way
Speaker 2: he fell, except oddly evidently it wasn't so your injury
Speaker 2: was at this part of your collar bone. His was
Speaker 2: at this part, the one that connects to the sternum.
Speaker 2: So they said that it's more associated with a car crash.
Speaker 2: Tyreek Hill suffered this injury as well. Listen, he might
Speaker 2: miss week one, it's not. It doesn't change my opinion
Speaker 2: on playing your guys as smart. And I'll be honest, oddly,
Speaker 2: I mean, I feel bad for Hollywood, but I'd prefer
Speaker 2: it be this than like a hamstring tweak or an
Speaker 2: ankle sprain, some lower body injury that's gonna slow you
Speaker 2: down and hamper you throughout the year. This is pretty simple.
Speaker 2: The bone's gonna heal and he's gonna be fine. So no,
Speaker 2: it seems like everyone else was a lot more worried
Speaker 2: about that than I was. Next.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so it's been a while since we had some
Speaker 3: football to watch, so naturally everybody's gonna blow up with
Speaker 3: the smallest thing. But sometimes those overreactions turn out to
Speaker 3: be the truth. So let's decide what is what in
Speaker 3: a game of factor over react. So you may be
Speaker 3: onto something. You may be onto something with your guy Caleb.
Speaker 3: In his first on field action, Williams is all but perfect.
Speaker 3: Lead in the field by a large margin of inefficiency.
Speaker 3: Here is numbers.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, yeah, number point ninety seven EPA per play.
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow was number two amongst quarterbacks this week with
Speaker 2: point six to two. So yeah, that's a big number.
Speaker 3: Go ahead, company, So factor overreact, Caleb Williams is the
Speaker 3: number one quarterback in the NFC, all.
Speaker 2: Right, So that's probably an overreaction right now. It might
Speaker 2: be a fact by the end of the Year, competing
Speaker 2: with Stafford Dak your guy, Jordan Love, Jared Goff would
Speaker 2: be the biggest competitors for it. I think he could
Speaker 2: be number one by the end of the year. I
Speaker 2: do think, okay, all the great quarterbacks are in the AFC,
Speaker 2: and I think Caleb is going to be a special,
Speaker 2: special player. Next.
Speaker 3: Speaking of Jordan Love, he picked up right where he
Speaker 3: left off, launching a bomb for a sixty five yard
Speaker 3: touchdown a few plays into only drive for the game.
Speaker 3: Fact overreact Jordan Love is in for an MVP caliber season.
Speaker 2: I think that's an overreaction. I the MVP caliber is
Speaker 2: a bridge too far, in part because I just don't
Speaker 2: think the UH Packers are going to have the record
Speaker 2: requisite for their quarterback to win the MVP the way
Speaker 2: the MVP voters have done it lately. You have to
Speaker 2: win twelve or thirteen or fourteen games. I don't think
Speaker 2: the Packers are going to do that. But I do
Speaker 2: think Jordan Love is one of the most interesting players
Speaker 2: in the league to watch this year because we've seen
Speaker 2: him play one season, first half of which he was
Speaker 2: not good, the second half of which he was an
Speaker 2: A plus, and he's being able to see.
Speaker 3: The bigger what ifs of this season come it to come.
Speaker 2: Yes, and they've paid him as if they know, so
Speaker 2: I'm super excited to see it next.
Speaker 3: The Broncos were laughed at for picking a senior citizen
Speaker 3: with a twelfth overall pick, but bo Nicks quieted the
Speaker 3: doubters early leading four scoring drives in his preseason debut
Speaker 3: versus the Colts. Factor overreact bo Nix is heen?
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, that's obviously overreacting. Here's the deal. I didn't
Speaker 2: think Bonix played very well, and Broncos fans are mad
Speaker 2: because I said this on TV and they're like, oh,
Speaker 2: Nick's just a Broncos hater. Let me tell you something
Speaker 2: I don't. There are the Chiefs Broncos used to be
Speaker 2: a rivalry. That's pretty good. Um, the this is a
Speaker 2: good photoshop if you're not watching on YouTube. Uh, the
Speaker 2: Chiefs Broncos used to be a rivalry. Then we beat
Speaker 2: them sixteen times in a row and it stopped being
Speaker 2: a rivalry. The the NFL on their YouTube page has
Speaker 2: for every rookie quarterback if you type in the name
Speaker 2: of the quarterback and then every throw, they have a
Speaker 2: cutup of every throw. I think anyone that is just
Speaker 2: looking at the numbers from bow Nix's debut should go
Speaker 2: watch the throws and why much his skittishness in the pocket.
Speaker 2: I was not impressed. Maybe I again, you can say
Speaker 2: I'm being biased. It's that because I didn't think it
Speaker 2: was that good coming out of college. Go watch the throws.
Speaker 2: But I think the Broncos are in the worst quarterback
Speaker 2: shape of anyone in the league other than maybe the Raiders.
Speaker 2: It's Zach Wilson, Jared Stidham, and bow Nicks. And I
Speaker 2: don't think Nix has it. I know everyone liked how
Speaker 2: he played this weekend. I'm not one of those people.
Speaker 3: Next all right, tenth overall pick JJ McCarthy had a
Speaker 3: solid showing in his debut. It is after you threw
Speaker 3: an interception on the first on the first possession. Sam
Speaker 3: Donald is a starter for now, but Sam Donald is
Speaker 3: obviously Sam Donald a fact overreact. JJ will start Week one.
Speaker 2: I think he might. And here's the deal, So this
Speaker 2: is I wasn't high on JJ coming out of college
Speaker 2: at all either. Similar to Knicks, I thought he played excellent.
Speaker 2: I was really impressed by what he did. And yeah,
Speaker 2: I know he and Nix had similar numbers. I thought
Speaker 2: JJ's were way more believable and duplicable, and so I thought, listen,
Speaker 2: we know who Sam Darnold is, and so if JJ
Speaker 2: is anywhere close to ready, he should be the starter.
Speaker 2: Next makes sense.
Speaker 3: Noah Lyles has had quite the week, and now he
Speaker 3: has Tyreek Tyreek Hill.
Speaker 2: Coming after him. We're gonna play a little video. Would
Speaker 2: you like to race him when he gets home? I
Speaker 2: will beat no alloos. You think I will beat no
Speaker 2: Allows a lot? I won't beat him by alive, but
Speaker 2: I would.
Speaker 1: Beat no I'd like to see that happen.
Speaker 2: Okah, Listen, I love Tyreek, but I mean relax man,
Speaker 2: and I don't even really like Noahliles. But he's not
Speaker 2: gonna beat Noahliles.
Speaker 3: Wait, so maybe this is just ignorance by me, But
Speaker 3: I don't think. I don't think Tyreek is talking out
Speaker 3: a cat. I don't think he's talking on a hand
Speaker 3: right there. I think there is a change.
Speaker 2: I think Tyreek Hill could win the one hundred meters
Speaker 2: gold medal. No, that's what Noel Liles just did.
Speaker 3: Okay, Yeah, but I mean I'm figuring they're just talking
Speaker 3: to like a straight line regular race like, yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what the one hundred meters is is a
Speaker 2: straight line, regular race. Yeah, without pay. They're all close,
Speaker 2: They're I mean one hundred meters dash, They're all close.
Speaker 2: But no, I listen, Tyree Tyreek Hill. Listen, here's the
Speaker 2: other thing forgive being fastest man in the world. Tyreek
Speaker 2: Hill currently I don't think is the fastest man in
Speaker 2: the A f C. Xavier Worthy records. So yeah, exactly,
Speaker 2: so I listen, Tyreek kill is unbelievable. He's not faster
Speaker 2: than Noah. Wait what if what if they both had
Speaker 2: pads on?
Speaker 3: Though?
Speaker 2: Oh? That I then I would probably buy Tyreek because
Speaker 2: Lyles isn't used to that sure on a football But you.
Speaker 3: See how you just said that that no, Allowles isn't
Speaker 3: used to having football pads and just like Tyreek hillsn't
Speaker 3: used to having them off.
Speaker 2: So it's like, no, I get that. So if we're saying,
Speaker 2: but I when a race, I typically when people race,
Speaker 2: they don't put on full football pads. He's talking about
Speaker 2: beating Noah Liles. I assume it means on the track
Speaker 2: or on the football field, but just a regular race,
Speaker 2: not pad it up. He's not beating Noah Liles, He's
Speaker 2: just not He's not even beating COVID stricken. Noahlliles, quick
Speaker 2: break answer your listener questions. Next, what's right? All right?
Speaker 2: Welcome back in. I gotta get to work to monsday.
Speaker 2: So let's go through some of these listener questions.
Speaker 3: Quick Scott Frasier, Nick, how many teams will how many
Speaker 3: teams will have buyers remorse on the overpaid quarterback situation?
Speaker 3: Over under five and a half? Oh?
Speaker 2: Under five and a half. I mean, listen, I think
Speaker 2: the Dolphins will with Tua. I obviously don't think the
Speaker 2: Jags will. I think the the are going to be
Speaker 2: fine with golf but so but some will, but it's
Speaker 2: not going to be anywhere close to six. So way under.
Speaker 3: Next, Kai Jelly, with Joe Burrow healthy and in camp.
Speaker 3: Who is the biggest threat to Kansas City in the AFC? Bengals, Bills, Texans?
Speaker 2: I think the Ravens probably should be included in that.
Speaker 2: Some people would at least uh, the Texans are going
Speaker 2: to be a trendy pick. With that said, even though
Speaker 2: I have real concerns about the Bengals defense, I'm going
Speaker 2: to give the Bengals respect and say the Bengals because
Speaker 2: they're the only team that has beaten the Chiefs in
Speaker 2: a game that matters, and so, you know, except for
Speaker 2: Tom Brady teams, and he's gone now. So I'm going
Speaker 2: to say the Bengals next.
Speaker 3: Zaia Arno Fullert Nick, do you think coach Mangini has
Speaker 3: thrown extra shade towards Mahomes and the Chiefs because he
Speaker 3: realizes that they're actually threatening the Patriots in Tom.
Speaker 2: Yes, I yes, I do, and I will tell coach yes,
Speaker 2: I absolutely do. Next.
Speaker 3: Uh, did Jokichen Serbia prove it it is better to
Speaker 3: win the bronze than the silver in the in Olympic basketball.
Speaker 2: That's always true in these team competitions because then you
Speaker 2: go out with a win. Zim's been going out with
Speaker 2: a win and going out with a loss, you get
Speaker 2: to celebrate. Yeah, and so yeah too, yoga absolutely the
Speaker 2: all right.
Speaker 3: Next, Trey hasan question is is Katie Leadeki the most
Speaker 3: underappreciated Olympic athlete? I feel like she does not get
Speaker 3: enough credit in the mainstream media about how dominant she is.
Speaker 2: Uh, I mean probably to a degree. I don't think
Speaker 2: she's totally underappreciated. I think people know. But I also
Speaker 2: think because her races are so long, it doesn't have
Speaker 2: like the excitement of you know, Phelps's races. But yeah,
Speaker 2: she is an all time legend and the greatest female
Speaker 2: swimmer ever, I mean, hands down, all right.
Speaker 3: Last one, Jeremy contrasts as early US Open tennis favorite.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, obviously, I told you I'm picking al
Speaker 2: Karez in every major that exists when he's healthy for
Speaker 2: the next eight years. So Carlos Alcarez and I'll be
Speaker 2: out there. I didn't. I'm not going to be a
Speaker 2: ball boy, but I'll be out there for it, all right.
Speaker 2: I'll see you guys Thursday. Demon's great job, great Olympics.
