0:01:40.920 --> 0:01:47.000
<v Speaker 2>I sent Demanse a great video this weekend of his

0:01:47.160 --> 0:01:53.360
<v Speaker 2>mother and I coming out of nightclub on Saturday night,

0:01:54.440 --> 0:01:58.600
<v Speaker 2>Saturday night, and there was a guy with an awesome

0:01:58.680 --> 0:02:03.080
<v Speaker 2>Boa constrictor that the your mom had had just enough

0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:07.600
<v Speaker 2>uh repisado sodas that she was like, let me hold

0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:11.840
<v Speaker 2>that snake and I and uh, we got a video

0:02:11.919 --> 0:02:15.000
<v Speaker 2>of that. It was a beautiful snake.

0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:17.840
<v Speaker 3>You also sent me a picture of the Spanish thing

0:02:18.560 --> 0:02:19.120
<v Speaker 3>with the dog.

0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:20.440
<v Speaker 2>That's what I thought you were going to bring up.

0:02:20.639 --> 0:02:23.320
<v Speaker 3>So did you did you know that there was writing

0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:25.040
<v Speaker 3>on that or did you just see the picture?

0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:28.000
<v Speaker 2>It turned it? So let me so let me We're

0:02:28.000 --> 0:02:29.919
<v Speaker 2>gonna get to Olympic basketball in just a moment. But

0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:35.280
<v Speaker 2>let me give context here. So we had a miniature

0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:40.919
<v Speaker 2>schnauzer uh for sixteen years. I guess, well, I guess

0:02:40.960 --> 0:02:46.000
<v Speaker 2>I had him for thirteen years. You because he was

0:02:46.200 --> 0:02:49.160
<v Speaker 2>three when I came into the picture, so you guys

0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:53.560
<v Speaker 2>had the and there was a tin. There was a small,

0:02:53.720 --> 0:03:00.160
<v Speaker 2>like square photograph sitting on the kitchen counter, and it

0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:04.160
<v Speaker 2>was Mo when he was a puppy. It looked like

0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:08.720
<v Speaker 2>like or at least very young. It was a smaller

0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:12.560
<v Speaker 2>Mo than I had ever seen and I and I

0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:14.760
<v Speaker 2>saw it, and I got happy because that was my

0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:18.200
<v Speaker 2>first dog ever. And I when he got old and

0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:20.600
<v Speaker 2>sick at the end, I really took care of him.

0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:23.600
<v Speaker 2>And I saw him and I just said, oh Mo.

0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:27.160
<v Speaker 2>I'll be honest with the audience, I said, oh Moosi

0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:31.360
<v Speaker 2>woes because that's what we called it. And your mom

0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:34.400
<v Speaker 2>said to me, look at the back of it. And

0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:37.160
<v Speaker 2>I look at the back of it, and there is

0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:43.320
<v Speaker 2>some of the worst Spanish I've ever read. It was

0:03:43.600 --> 0:03:51.040
<v Speaker 2>very clearly part of Demanse's school project or something where

0:03:51.280 --> 0:03:54.880
<v Speaker 2>either he was supposed to write the description of the

0:03:54.960 --> 0:03:58.800
<v Speaker 2>picture on the picture, or he was supposed to hold

0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:02.200
<v Speaker 2>up a picture and like say what it is and

0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:06.200
<v Speaker 2>was cheating by having reading off the back. Either way,

0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:10.560
<v Speaker 2>it wasn't going to be successful because I don't think

0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:12.920
<v Speaker 2>that was proper Spanish.

0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:18.720
<v Speaker 3>Regardless, it came out to my dog. I fear great leaders.

0:04:19.040 --> 0:04:24.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but I saw that, and I sent Demanse a

0:04:24.720 --> 0:04:28.160
<v Speaker 2>picture of both. It's very funny. Yeah. So no, so

0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:32.480
<v Speaker 2>the sent Demonse a video of his mother and I

0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:35.000
<v Speaker 2>walking out of a club and seeing a Boa constrictor.

0:04:35.040 --> 0:04:36.840
<v Speaker 2>I asked the guy who was a ball python, because

0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:39.200
<v Speaker 2>those are the snakes you have? He said, no, it's

0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:44.119
<v Speaker 2>a boa and uh, and then send him that. All right. Uh.

0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:47.400
<v Speaker 2>Somebody says, did you bike home from the club like Booker? No,

0:04:47.560 --> 0:04:51.480
<v Speaker 2>this actually was a place within walking distance of my house.

0:04:52.240 --> 0:04:55.919
<v Speaker 2>So I the there was a big Harlem this is

0:04:56.000 --> 0:04:58.719
<v Speaker 2>Harlem week right now, and there was a big kind

0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:02.279
<v Speaker 2>of block party right by Trentage where we do the

0:05:02.320 --> 0:05:06.600
<v Speaker 2>show from. And then after that there were stuff going

0:05:06.680 --> 0:05:09.920
<v Speaker 2>on a block away from us. So we just we

0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:13.200
<v Speaker 2>just ended up walking down from there. Okay, here's what

0:05:13.320 --> 0:05:17.239
<v Speaker 2>missed the cut. It's all Jets nonsense. The Jets traded

0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:20.000
<v Speaker 2>for a player who wanted out of Philadelphia because he

0:05:20.040 --> 0:05:23.520
<v Speaker 2>wanted a new contract. They evidently thought, well, you might

0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:26.839
<v Speaker 2>want a new contract with the you know, defending NFC

0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:30.920
<v Speaker 2>champion Philadelphia Eagles, but you won't want a new contract

0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:34.800
<v Speaker 2>with the most embarrassing organization in the league will trade

0:05:34.839 --> 0:05:38.279
<v Speaker 2>for you. That player shockingly still wants a new contract

0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:41.160
<v Speaker 2>and now has demanded a trade before ever setting foot

0:05:41.160 --> 0:05:45.120
<v Speaker 2>in the facility. Evidently, Woody Johnson gave Aaron Rodgers the

0:05:45.200 --> 0:05:48.719
<v Speaker 2>Queen's honey. I don't totally understand this, Daniel tried to

0:05:48.760 --> 0:05:51.200
<v Speaker 2>explain it to me. I still don't understand it. But

0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:55.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm excited to read Ian O'Connor's book. And Rogers regrets

0:05:55.440 --> 0:05:59.359
<v Speaker 2>his immunized comments. And if you read that excerpt, what

0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:02.200
<v Speaker 2>he said was, yeah, I gay, that's the one thing

0:06:02.240 --> 0:06:05.000
<v Speaker 2>the media could really hit me on. So at least

0:06:05.040 --> 0:06:07.560
<v Speaker 2>from the excerpt, it wasn't so much. I regretted it

0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:10.880
<v Speaker 2>because I lied. It was. I regretted it because I

0:06:10.960 --> 0:06:14.400
<v Speaker 2>gave people ammunition. But I'll read the book at hole.

0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:18.039
<v Speaker 2>Maybe i'll read that on the flight this way, I

0:06:18.040 --> 0:06:20.159
<v Speaker 2>probably won't read it on the flight, to be totally honest,

0:06:20.200 --> 0:06:21.880
<v Speaker 2>I don't have it yet, but i'll read it at

0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:23.640
<v Speaker 2>some point. Get back to you guys on it, all right.

0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:27.360
<v Speaker 2>Demon's Oh, so they're asking, is the book club? No,

0:06:27.480 --> 0:06:29.880
<v Speaker 2>that was a failed experiment. I didn't really know how

0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:33.640
<v Speaker 2>to execute the book club properly, all right, demonse, Let's

0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:34.760
<v Speaker 2>get to it. Team USA.

0:06:35.400 --> 0:06:40.000
<v Speaker 3>Team USA Basketball claimed gold once again after that legendary

0:06:40.040 --> 0:06:43.360
<v Speaker 3>heater from Stephen Curry in that final game. Obviously, Bron

0:06:43.360 --> 0:06:46.520
<v Speaker 3>played very well throughout. You actually called for co MVPs

0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:49.039
<v Speaker 3>for Stephan Lebron, which I thought was very fair of you.

0:06:49.760 --> 0:06:51.440
<v Speaker 3>But do you think this will be the last time

0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:55.159
<v Speaker 3>that we see Lebron and Steph Curry playing high stakes games.

0:06:56.800 --> 0:06:59.920
<v Speaker 2>It's on the board, which is unfortunate. It's also why,

0:07:00.880 --> 0:07:04.159
<v Speaker 2>and we'll get to this more in a bit, It's

0:07:04.200 --> 0:07:07.559
<v Speaker 2>why I'd like to see them team up. But first

0:07:07.680 --> 0:07:12.800
<v Speaker 2>let's talk about Lebron and Steph and their performances and

0:07:12.920 --> 0:07:18.840
<v Speaker 2>why I thought co MVPs would have been the way

0:07:18.880 --> 0:07:26.320
<v Speaker 2>to go. Those two guys, along with Durant, were the

0:07:26.400 --> 0:07:31.640
<v Speaker 2>story of this team. Three of the oldest players in

0:07:31.760 --> 0:07:38.880
<v Speaker 2>league history, Three guys who some believe are three of

0:07:38.920 --> 0:07:44.080
<v Speaker 2>the ten greatest players ever. Three guys who everyone believes

0:07:44.480 --> 0:07:49.120
<v Speaker 2>are three of the twenty greatest players ever, all of

0:07:49.160 --> 0:07:57.040
<v Speaker 2>whom are past their athletic prime. Reminding everyone that when

0:07:57.080 --> 0:08:02.400
<v Speaker 2>the stakes are the highest, there's not a long list,

0:08:02.880 --> 0:08:09.120
<v Speaker 2>and the list might honestly be one name long. Jokic

0:08:10.200 --> 0:08:15.520
<v Speaker 2>of guys you definitively want over them. Now. Durant didn't

0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:18.800
<v Speaker 2>really get to show it the whole tournament because he

0:08:18.840 --> 0:08:21.440
<v Speaker 2>had the calf injury and you know, didn't really play

0:08:21.880 --> 0:08:25.000
<v Speaker 2>or didn't play until in any of the exhibition games.

0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:27.080
<v Speaker 2>But then in the first game he did play, what

0:08:27.080 --> 0:08:29.160
<v Speaker 2>did he make his first ten shots from the field.

0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:33.640
<v Speaker 2>But that kind of made him a clear third actor

0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:38.760
<v Speaker 2>in this movie. And this tournament was about Stephan Lebron

0:08:39.480 --> 0:08:41.760
<v Speaker 2>and the US was gonna win or lose based on

0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:48.120
<v Speaker 2>Stephan Lebron, and Steph nominated Lebron to be the flag bearer.

0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:52.640
<v Speaker 2>I still think the coolest image from these Olympics is

0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:57.400
<v Speaker 2>Lebron holding the flag on the boat going down this

0:08:58.040 --> 0:09:01.760
<v Speaker 2>pardon me the same, and Coco Goff there and the

0:09:01.800 --> 0:09:06.640
<v Speaker 2>whole team there and this old man with gray and

0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:10.880
<v Speaker 2>his beard being like, I'm going to remind the entire

0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:17.320
<v Speaker 2>world one more time that I still might be as

0:09:17.400 --> 0:09:24.120
<v Speaker 2>far as the ability to control, figure out, understand, make

0:09:24.200 --> 0:09:27.319
<v Speaker 2>the right decision, get the ball to the right people,

0:09:27.960 --> 0:09:31.640
<v Speaker 2>the number one draft pick alive even though I'm almost

0:09:31.720 --> 0:09:33.960
<v Speaker 2>forty years old. What the And I'll get to the

0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:37.200
<v Speaker 2>step part in a moment, but what these Olympics showed

0:09:37.240 --> 0:09:45.320
<v Speaker 2>me start to finish was if Lebron wanted to say, Okay,

0:09:46.160 --> 0:09:50.800
<v Speaker 2>what I'm going to do now in my career is

0:09:51.000 --> 0:09:59.280
<v Speaker 2>be purely the Magic Johnson roll, that a forty year

0:09:59.280 --> 0:10:08.760
<v Speaker 2>old Lebron James could be eighty percent of peak Magic Johnson.

0:10:09.880 --> 0:10:12.360
<v Speaker 2>Magic might be the fourth greatest player of all time.

0:10:13.400 --> 0:10:19.720
<v Speaker 2>Lebron in these Olympics played the Magic Johnson role better

0:10:20.160 --> 0:10:25.640
<v Speaker 2>than Magic Johnson played it in the ninety two Olympics. Now, Magic,

0:10:25.679 --> 0:10:28.880
<v Speaker 2>to be fair, was a year removed from playing competitive

0:10:28.880 --> 0:10:32.440
<v Speaker 2>basketball because he had retired, but was still excellent. But

0:10:32.559 --> 0:10:38.360
<v Speaker 2>Lebron's ability to read the game, read the floor, make

0:10:38.400 --> 0:10:41.160
<v Speaker 2>the right play and then still and this is the

0:10:41.200 --> 0:10:47.120
<v Speaker 2>part Demon's a that was remarkable to me. He's still

0:10:48.480 --> 0:10:52.679
<v Speaker 2>the fastest guy on the court ninety percent of possessions.

0:10:53.480 --> 0:10:57.040
<v Speaker 2>He can't activate it as often as he used to

0:10:57.040 --> 0:11:00.720
<v Speaker 2>be able to. He can't play as many at that

0:11:00.840 --> 0:11:02.560
<v Speaker 2>high of a level as he used to be able to,

0:11:03.040 --> 0:11:08.280
<v Speaker 2>but as far as in bursts into end speed. The

0:11:08.400 --> 0:11:11.840
<v Speaker 2>only guy out there who I felt on any team

0:11:12.360 --> 0:11:16.560
<v Speaker 2>in the tournament that we the US played against, or

0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:19.120
<v Speaker 2>on his own team that could have kept up with

0:11:19.160 --> 0:11:23.080
<v Speaker 2>him was Anthony Edwards. It's the only guy. And when

0:11:23.160 --> 0:11:26.360
<v Speaker 2>in the big spots, when Lebron got a defensive rebound

0:11:26.440 --> 0:11:29.560
<v Speaker 2>and just said screw this, I'm getting to the basket.

0:11:30.160 --> 0:11:36.040
<v Speaker 2>He got there with impunity every time at sixty five

0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:40.440
<v Speaker 2>thousand minutes and almost forty years old, and he was

0:11:40.559 --> 0:11:45.680
<v Speaker 2>the steady hand. And I know the exhibition play didn't

0:11:45.720 --> 0:11:51.280
<v Speaker 2>play into who tournament MVP was, but I do think

0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:55.520
<v Speaker 2>Lebron saving the US in those two close exhibition games

0:11:56.559 --> 0:11:59.760
<v Speaker 2>played a role in the US's ability to come back

0:11:59.760 --> 0:12:03.559
<v Speaker 2>again in Serbia because I think there was a sense

0:12:03.600 --> 0:12:08.160
<v Speaker 2>of invincibility. And had they lost one of those quote

0:12:08.160 --> 0:12:13.360
<v Speaker 2>meaningless games to South Sudan or whomever earlier, would they

0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:16.840
<v Speaker 2>then when they fell down nineteen to Serbia, when they

0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:19.120
<v Speaker 2>were down thirteen at the end of the third quarter,

0:12:19.480 --> 0:12:23.840
<v Speaker 2>would they have said, oh man, this ain't we ain't

0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:27.120
<v Speaker 2>gonna do this. And so Lebron, the fact that he

0:12:27.200 --> 0:12:30.760
<v Speaker 2>scored in double digits every single game, had five plus

0:12:30.800 --> 0:12:33.920
<v Speaker 2>assists in every single game, shot better than fifty percent

0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:36.800
<v Speaker 2>from the field in every single game, led the team

0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:41.960
<v Speaker 2>in minutes, rebounds, assists, field goal percentage, and scored in

0:12:42.040 --> 0:12:44.760
<v Speaker 2>the tournament two less points than step So we ended

0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:47.320
<v Speaker 2>up missing out on leading them in points by two

0:12:47.480 --> 0:12:52.880
<v Speaker 2>total points. That to me is and I'll add one

0:12:52.920 --> 0:12:57.160
<v Speaker 2>other point. In the Serbia game, if Steph was the

0:12:57.200 --> 0:13:00.560
<v Speaker 2>best player, he was one bet. In the s A game,

0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:05.360
<v Speaker 2>he was phenomenal in the biggest spot. That's the Lebron

0:13:05.480 --> 0:13:10.200
<v Speaker 2>for MVP case. The step for MVP case is much

0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:16.240
<v Speaker 2>shorter and much simpler. In the semifinals and the finals,

0:13:17.240 --> 0:13:25.880
<v Speaker 2>he saved the team and was historically prolific from three.

0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:29.680
<v Speaker 2>So in the semifinals he scored the second most points

0:13:29.760 --> 0:13:34.320
<v Speaker 2>any play any men's US men's player has ever scored.

0:13:34.640 --> 0:13:38.000
<v Speaker 2>That's what made that semifinal game so special. It was

0:13:38.559 --> 0:13:42.199
<v Speaker 2>he scored thirty six, the second most points. Only Melos

0:13:42.200 --> 0:13:44.840
<v Speaker 2>ever scored more. He scored thirty seven. Lebron had a

0:13:44.880 --> 0:13:49.560
<v Speaker 2>triple double, the second Olympic us men's Olympic triple double

0:13:49.600 --> 0:13:53.360
<v Speaker 2>ever uh. The previous one was done by Lebron twelve

0:13:53.440 --> 0:13:58.120
<v Speaker 2>years ago. So two of the greatest individual US men's

0:13:58.120 --> 0:14:01.240
<v Speaker 2>Olympic performance has ever happened in the same game. And

0:14:01.320 --> 0:14:05.480
<v Speaker 2>then in the France game, those final three minutes will

0:14:05.520 --> 0:14:09.760
<v Speaker 2>go down in history. Those final three minutes by Steph

0:14:10.640 --> 0:14:17.000
<v Speaker 2>will be top of mind that people think about when

0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:23.080
<v Speaker 2>they think about the greatest Steph Curry moments. And that

0:14:23.320 --> 0:14:27.640
<v Speaker 2>final shot Demons is the iconic one because it was

0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:31.880
<v Speaker 2>so laughable, but it was also kind of the least

0:14:31.920 --> 0:14:36.360
<v Speaker 2>important one. The game was not totally in hand, but

0:14:36.520 --> 0:14:38.440
<v Speaker 2>it was less than a minute left, they were up six.

0:14:38.560 --> 0:14:42.400
<v Speaker 2>It was they were in good shape. The first one

0:14:42.840 --> 0:14:46.800
<v Speaker 2>was the biggest shot. The second biggest shot, I would

0:14:46.880 --> 0:14:48.880
<v Speaker 2>argue of the tournament. I'll get to the biggest shot

0:14:48.920 --> 0:14:53.560
<v Speaker 2>in a moment when all of a sudden France had

0:14:53.560 --> 0:14:56.680
<v Speaker 2>cut it to three and Steph with two point fifty

0:14:56.800 --> 0:14:59.800
<v Speaker 2>left hits that top of the key three pointer to

0:14:59.800 --> 0:15:03.040
<v Speaker 2>call everyone down, and then goes and hits three more.

0:15:03.960 --> 0:15:10.040
<v Speaker 2>So there, to me was a legitimate argument for either

0:15:10.160 --> 0:15:14.920
<v Speaker 2>of those guys, and I think they were so they

0:15:15.040 --> 0:15:19.200
<v Speaker 2>embraced each other so much literally and figuratively in the

0:15:19.280 --> 0:15:22.720
<v Speaker 2>tournament that it would have been really cool to have

0:15:22.800 --> 0:15:28.080
<v Speaker 2>co MVPs. Also, I don't think the Olympics needs a

0:15:28.120 --> 0:15:32.000
<v Speaker 2>tournament MVP. It's a weird thing. They don't do it

0:15:32.120 --> 0:15:35.720
<v Speaker 2>every time. They did it in four and man who

0:15:35.720 --> 0:15:38.520
<v Speaker 2>won it. They did it in twenty twenty and Durant

0:15:38.560 --> 0:15:40.200
<v Speaker 2>won it, and they did it this year and Lebron

0:15:40.240 --> 0:15:46.600
<v Speaker 2>won it. But I think Stephan Lebron sharing it would

0:15:46.640 --> 0:15:52.720
<v Speaker 2>have been awesome. I also find the discussion around it

0:15:52.800 --> 0:16:00.320
<v Speaker 2>to be telling because there has been an embrace Ofdeph

0:16:00.400 --> 0:16:06.480
<v Speaker 2>Curry by some of the most vocal Lebron James fans

0:16:07.120 --> 0:16:13.160
<v Speaker 2>that oddly has not been reciprocated in the other direction,

0:16:14.400 --> 0:16:16.880
<v Speaker 2>where a lot of the most vocal Steph fans are

0:16:17.080 --> 0:16:20.240
<v Speaker 2>you know, furious about the MVP or whatever it is.

0:16:21.160 --> 0:16:26.480
<v Speaker 2>And I the I don't really care about that, but

0:16:26.600 --> 0:16:31.920
<v Speaker 2>I find it interesting because the two athletes themselves have

0:16:32.120 --> 0:16:35.320
<v Speaker 2>laid their swords down. There was a time when I

0:16:35.320 --> 0:16:37.800
<v Speaker 2>don't want to say there was dislike, but there was.

0:16:39.120 --> 0:16:42.520
<v Speaker 2>It was a felt like an on and off the

0:16:42.600 --> 0:16:47.400
<v Speaker 2>court rivalry. And that time has passed where both of

0:16:47.440 --> 0:16:51.000
<v Speaker 2>these guys know, man, we're not going to have that

0:16:51.200 --> 0:16:56.800
<v Speaker 2>many more moments like this, and I think they really

0:16:56.880 --> 0:16:59.720
<v Speaker 2>embraced this. I also, real quick before we get to

0:16:59.720 --> 0:17:04.680
<v Speaker 2>the other stuff, found it was telling to me there

0:17:04.800 --> 0:17:11.680
<v Speaker 2>is there are some folks that so dislike Lebron. They

0:17:11.840 --> 0:17:19.159
<v Speaker 2>found themselves openly rooting against Team USA. It was like

0:17:19.280 --> 0:17:24.320
<v Speaker 2>a weird and that's not guessing. It was folks admitting

0:17:24.359 --> 0:17:27.640
<v Speaker 2>it and being like, no, I find this team unlikable

0:17:28.080 --> 0:17:31.280
<v Speaker 2>or whatever it was. And that was mostly about Lebron,

0:17:31.680 --> 0:17:38.960
<v Speaker 2>which if your basketball fandom has corroded your brain enough

0:17:39.440 --> 0:17:43.399
<v Speaker 2>to where you can't enjoy what if you did not

0:17:43.640 --> 0:17:47.400
<v Speaker 2>enjoy watching Team USA, then I just don't know if

0:17:47.400 --> 0:17:50.639
<v Speaker 2>you're actually a basketball fan. That was some of the

0:17:50.800 --> 0:17:54.720
<v Speaker 2>coolest basketball I've ever seen in my life, and it's

0:17:54.720 --> 0:17:57.720
<v Speaker 2>something that will never be able to be duplicated again,

0:17:58.200 --> 0:18:02.159
<v Speaker 2>And if we're being honest, had never been duplicated in

0:18:02.200 --> 0:18:05.760
<v Speaker 2>the past, because you can say the ninety two Dream

0:18:05.760 --> 0:18:09.119
<v Speaker 2>Team with Michael Magic and Larry, but Larry was in

0:18:09.160 --> 0:18:12.880
<v Speaker 2>a back brace and Magic was a year removed from

0:18:12.880 --> 0:18:16.440
<v Speaker 2>the league and the best player, and Jordan shot worse

0:18:16.520 --> 0:18:19.520
<v Speaker 2>from the field than anyone in the on his team

0:18:19.560 --> 0:18:23.160
<v Speaker 2>by a mile. The best player in that was Barkley.

0:18:23.600 --> 0:18:26.040
<v Speaker 2>Jordan was the best player, but Barkley played the best.

0:18:26.080 --> 0:18:30.560
<v Speaker 2>I should say, I don't know that we're ever going

0:18:30.640 --> 0:18:38.879
<v Speaker 2>to get another chance. We're three Pantheon players all team

0:18:38.960 --> 0:18:44.440
<v Speaker 2>up together on Team USA and all deliver special moments.

0:18:44.480 --> 0:18:47.240
<v Speaker 2>And I'll get to Durant's piece of it again in

0:18:47.320 --> 0:18:52.760
<v Speaker 2>a moment. And so if you can't appreciate that, then

0:18:52.800 --> 0:18:56.560
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what to tell you. And so now

0:18:56.760 --> 0:18:58.520
<v Speaker 2>let's get to your actual question.

0:18:58.600 --> 0:19:03.680
<v Speaker 3>Demonse go Ahea, Oh yeah, no, I mean, my sakes,

0:19:03.680 --> 0:19:05.520
<v Speaker 3>do you think I was gonna ask? I mean you

0:19:05.600 --> 0:19:09.159
<v Speaker 3>touched on the MVPs. Uh, which which guy do you

0:19:09.200 --> 0:19:12.720
<v Speaker 3>think had a bigger legacy boost with this Olympic run

0:19:13.000 --> 0:19:14.840
<v Speaker 3>between Stephan and Lebron?

0:19:15.320 --> 0:19:18.560
<v Speaker 2>I you know, I think they're very different. I think

0:19:18.600 --> 0:19:23.000
<v Speaker 2>that for staph it was the one thing he didn't have.

0:19:23.600 --> 0:19:25.960
<v Speaker 2>He had never played in the Olympics and he had

0:19:26.000 --> 0:19:31.119
<v Speaker 2>never won a gold and so for him to end up,

0:19:32.119 --> 0:19:37.159
<v Speaker 2>for him to end up these last few years have

0:19:37.280 --> 0:19:41.160
<v Speaker 2>been really important for Steph to win the title without

0:19:41.280 --> 0:19:46.480
<v Speaker 2>Durant and to then do what he did in these

0:19:46.520 --> 0:19:52.280
<v Speaker 2>Olympics was a real reminder of what a killer he is.

0:19:53.200 --> 0:19:56.159
<v Speaker 2>Like it's everyone's known, what a great shooter, what a

0:19:56.200 --> 0:20:00.640
<v Speaker 2>great teammate, what a great ball handler. The two playoff

0:20:00.720 --> 0:20:05.159
<v Speaker 2>run plus these Olympics reminded you what a killer he was.

0:20:05.920 --> 0:20:13.359
<v Speaker 2>For Lebron, it's a different story. Which is it. It

0:20:13.400 --> 0:20:18.840
<v Speaker 2>will impact his legacy more years down the road than

0:20:18.880 --> 0:20:23.479
<v Speaker 2>it does right now whenever, like what Lebron is doing

0:20:24.280 --> 0:20:30.440
<v Speaker 2>now to the record books and to oldest ever discussions,

0:20:31.040 --> 0:20:34.800
<v Speaker 2>like I want that this is what's going to happen

0:20:34.960 --> 0:20:41.280
<v Speaker 2>in five years. Okay, in five years, there's going to

0:20:41.320 --> 0:20:47.560
<v Speaker 2>be a basketball game being played between let me think

0:20:47.600 --> 0:20:55.800
<v Speaker 2>of what the example would be Jannis and Wimby and

0:20:55.920 --> 0:20:59.159
<v Speaker 2>Wimby in the I'm this is fan fiction to a degree,

0:20:59.240 --> 0:21:01.800
<v Speaker 2>so this is not a specific example, but just follow

0:21:01.840 --> 0:21:05.320
<v Speaker 2>me for a moment. Wimby is going to do something

0:21:05.359 --> 0:21:09.040
<v Speaker 2>in that game where he crosses this many points or

0:21:09.040 --> 0:21:13.040
<v Speaker 2>this many rebounds or whatever, some threshold, and they'll put

0:21:13.119 --> 0:21:17.879
<v Speaker 2>up a graphic and it will say the youngest players

0:21:17.960 --> 0:21:22.159
<v Speaker 2>to do X, and they'll show Wimby on it, and

0:21:22.280 --> 0:21:25.680
<v Speaker 2>the record holder will be Lebron because he's the youngest

0:21:25.720 --> 0:21:29.119
<v Speaker 2>guy to hit basically every milestone there is in the league.

0:21:29.920 --> 0:21:34.960
<v Speaker 2>And then in that same game, an old legend will

0:21:35.000 --> 0:21:38.159
<v Speaker 2>be playing and it will show and they'll cross a

0:21:38.200 --> 0:21:42.400
<v Speaker 2>threshold a forty point triple double, whatever, something like that,

0:21:43.040 --> 0:21:47.840
<v Speaker 2>and it will show the oldest player to do why,

0:21:49.040 --> 0:21:53.720
<v Speaker 2>And on that list, the oldest will be Lebron. Lebron

0:21:53.960 --> 0:21:59.879
<v Speaker 2>owning all the youngest ever records and the oldest ever record.

0:22:00.760 --> 0:22:11.720
<v Speaker 2>Lebron having two great Olympic performances sixteen years apart is

0:22:12.640 --> 0:22:16.240
<v Speaker 2>a remarkable thing. So let me see if I can

0:22:16.240 --> 0:22:21.040
<v Speaker 2>pull up the numbers, because I think that Basketball Reference

0:22:21.040 --> 0:22:25.960
<v Speaker 2>has it. So the two thousand and eight So the

0:22:26.000 --> 0:22:32.240
<v Speaker 2>two thousand and eight Olympic team, Lebron led to the

0:22:32.359 --> 0:22:36.359
<v Speaker 2>team in points with Kobe a close or I'm sorry,

0:22:36.440 --> 0:22:39.199
<v Speaker 2>that's wrong, Dwayne Wade led them in points with one

0:22:39.320 --> 0:22:42.119
<v Speaker 2>twenty eight. Lebron had the second most points with one

0:22:42.240 --> 0:22:46.439
<v Speaker 2>twenty four. So Lebron in that tournament in two thousand

0:22:46.480 --> 0:22:52.439
<v Speaker 2>and eight on Team USA was second in points third,

0:22:52.480 --> 0:22:57.720
<v Speaker 2>and rebounds second and assists. So top three points, rebounds,

0:22:57.720 --> 0:23:02.840
<v Speaker 2>assists at two thousand and eight at twenty three years old.

0:23:03.640 --> 0:23:08.719
<v Speaker 2>For him to then be top three in points, rebounds

0:23:08.760 --> 0:23:16.240
<v Speaker 2>and assists for Olympics later at thirty nine years old

0:23:16.400 --> 0:23:19.720
<v Speaker 2>is the type of stuff when they show whenever the

0:23:19.760 --> 0:23:24.600
<v Speaker 2>next Olympian to get men's basketball olympian to get a

0:23:24.640 --> 0:23:30.000
<v Speaker 2>triple doubleis okay, And when they show the list on

0:23:30.080 --> 0:23:34.440
<v Speaker 2>the screen and it says Lebron James in twenty twelve,

0:23:34.920 --> 0:23:38.960
<v Speaker 2>Lebron James in twenty twenty four, and this person. That's

0:23:39.040 --> 0:23:46.720
<v Speaker 2>where his legacy stuff is going to crystallize, is the

0:23:47.080 --> 0:23:51.240
<v Speaker 2>full width and breadth of the basketball life that has

0:23:51.320 --> 0:23:57.760
<v Speaker 2>spanned multiple playing styles, rule changes, and generations. And so

0:23:58.560 --> 0:24:02.040
<v Speaker 2>that to me is what is you know, where the

0:24:02.160 --> 0:24:07.600
<v Speaker 2>legacy stuff comes in. And it's why I want Steph

0:24:07.640 --> 0:24:12.000
<v Speaker 2>and Lebron on the same team. And we've been talking

0:24:12.040 --> 0:24:15.000
<v Speaker 2>about it on this show, Demons, and you can ask

0:24:15.080 --> 0:24:17.520
<v Speaker 2>the follow up question there and I'll explain.

0:24:18.800 --> 0:24:21.120
<v Speaker 3>Week we've talked about it on the show. I feel

0:24:21.160 --> 0:24:24.160
<v Speaker 3>like other folks have talked of it. Why is everybody

0:24:24.160 --> 0:24:26.600
<v Speaker 3>cool with it now with Steph and Lebron? And everybody

0:24:26.680 --> 0:24:28.440
<v Speaker 3>hated Katie for doing it a while back.

0:24:29.760 --> 0:24:34.720
<v Speaker 2>Because again, people need to remember how long it's been.

0:24:36.200 --> 0:24:42.600
<v Speaker 2>Katie joined the Warriors eight years ago. So Kati was

0:24:42.600 --> 0:24:47.000
<v Speaker 2>in his absolute apex prime mid twenties. Steph was in

0:24:47.040 --> 0:24:52.199
<v Speaker 2>his apex prime mid twenties. The last three league MVPs

0:24:52.280 --> 0:24:57.919
<v Speaker 2>at that moment had been Durant, Steph Steph. The Warriors

0:24:57.920 --> 0:25:01.600
<v Speaker 2>had just won a title and then laid Durant's team

0:25:01.800 --> 0:25:05.439
<v Speaker 2>in the conference finals, and it felt like, wait a minute,

0:25:05.800 --> 0:25:11.119
<v Speaker 2>these are two like this is this is a you

0:25:11.200 --> 0:25:15.639
<v Speaker 2>can win championships on your own. You're on great teams.

0:25:15.680 --> 0:25:20.080
<v Speaker 2>The Warriors just won seventy three games. The Warriors right

0:25:20.119 --> 0:25:23.600
<v Speaker 2>now just missed the playoffs. The Lakers just got bounced

0:25:23.640 --> 0:25:28.280
<v Speaker 2>in round one. And I listen, more people watched that

0:25:28.440 --> 0:25:32.280
<v Speaker 2>game than have watched any basketball game of any sort

0:25:32.400 --> 0:25:39.000
<v Speaker 2>in five years. Stephan Lebron move the needle unlike any athletes,

0:25:39.160 --> 0:25:45.040
<v Speaker 2>any basketball playing athletes we have, and I just want

0:25:45.040 --> 0:25:50.040
<v Speaker 2>to see them play relevant basketball games.

0:25:50.600 --> 0:25:52.960
<v Speaker 3>Do you think that either other team is more likely

0:25:53.080 --> 0:25:55.840
<v Speaker 3>to be playing in, you know, games that actually matter

0:25:55.960 --> 0:25:59.160
<v Speaker 3>sooner than the other, Like if Steph or Lebron would

0:25:59.160 --> 0:25:59.640
<v Speaker 3>be more like.

0:25:59.720 --> 0:26:04.639
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I I think I think maybe the Lakers

0:26:05.440 --> 0:26:09.040
<v Speaker 2>just because you have a d there, but they're so

0:26:09.359 --> 0:26:13.199
<v Speaker 2>poorly run and they did so little this offseason, and

0:26:13.320 --> 0:26:17.760
<v Speaker 2>I just want to see if Stephen Lebron could old

0:26:17.920 --> 0:26:22.040
<v Speaker 2>man two man game their way to an NBA finals.

0:26:22.600 --> 0:26:28.280
<v Speaker 2>And I ain't listen the I'm not above Adam Silver

0:26:28.960 --> 0:26:32.040
<v Speaker 2>having an off the record closed door meeting. I mean, like, Lakers,

0:26:32.080 --> 0:26:36.119
<v Speaker 2>Warriors or pick a thirty team, figure it out, figure

0:26:36.200 --> 0:26:41.479
<v Speaker 2>something out. It's good for business, and it will create

0:26:41.600 --> 0:26:45.560
<v Speaker 2>more intrigue and interest rather than these two guys on

0:26:45.800 --> 0:26:50.000
<v Speaker 2>bad teams or mediocre teams. All right, there's the Stephan

0:26:50.080 --> 0:26:55.040
<v Speaker 2>Lebron portion of it demands Uh, let's let's go through

0:26:55.400 --> 0:27:00.360
<v Speaker 2>the player by player. Uh yeah, you want to.

0:27:00.320 --> 0:27:03.399
<v Speaker 3>Go through the Olympics player by player, probably just to

0:27:03.440 --> 0:27:06.080
<v Speaker 3>take a shot of my guy Tatum, but we'll see

0:27:06.119 --> 0:27:07.080
<v Speaker 3>what it's all about.

0:27:08.040 --> 0:27:10.439
<v Speaker 2>No, I do want to because I think, listen, this

0:27:10.760 --> 0:27:17.560
<v Speaker 2>was one of my favorite Olympic Olympics ever and we

0:27:17.560 --> 0:27:19.680
<v Speaker 2>can get more to that in a moment. But let's

0:27:19.800 --> 0:27:21.760
<v Speaker 2>just go through guy by guy. I was trying to

0:27:21.760 --> 0:27:26.000
<v Speaker 2>pull up their numbers as a whole, which I thought

0:27:26.000 --> 0:27:28.399
<v Speaker 2>I was going to easily be able to do, but

0:27:28.480 --> 0:27:30.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm not quite able to do it. Maybe, Daniel, if

0:27:30.600 --> 0:27:33.640
<v Speaker 2>one of you guys can find the actual like their

0:27:33.760 --> 0:27:36.679
<v Speaker 2>overall stats, just text it to me. I can do

0:27:36.800 --> 0:27:38.720
<v Speaker 2>most of it off the top of my head. But

0:27:38.920 --> 0:27:41.800
<v Speaker 2>we've done Stephan Lebron. Now I want to do Durant.

0:27:42.480 --> 0:27:48.200
<v Speaker 2>Durant hit the biggest shot of the tournament the minute

0:27:48.280 --> 0:27:53.840
<v Speaker 2>left up to against Serbia. The Durant Iso let me

0:27:54.040 --> 0:27:57.840
<v Speaker 2>cook twenty footer was the biggest shot of the tournament,

0:27:58.680 --> 0:28:05.000
<v Speaker 2>and Durant also to me, had one of the coolest

0:28:05.200 --> 0:28:09.879
<v Speaker 2>moments of the tournament, which was after the Serbia game,

0:28:10.400 --> 0:28:14.320
<v Speaker 2>when he says to someone recording, He's like, man, this

0:28:14.400 --> 0:28:17.560
<v Speaker 2>is what it's all about. He's like, our families are here.

0:28:18.680 --> 0:28:21.560
<v Speaker 2>We just played in one of the greatest games ever.

0:28:22.400 --> 0:28:27.040
<v Speaker 2>Everyone here will remember tonight for the rest of their lives,

0:28:27.720 --> 0:28:32.719
<v Speaker 2>and that's what it's all about. And Durant's Twitter post

0:28:32.880 --> 0:28:37.359
<v Speaker 2>after passing Lisa Leslie for the most points men's or

0:28:37.480 --> 0:28:41.640
<v Speaker 2>women's in Olympic history with the twelve guys sitting on

0:28:41.680 --> 0:28:46.360
<v Speaker 2>the steps, I just thought was so cool and so

0:28:46.640 --> 0:28:52.680
<v Speaker 2>vintage Kevin Durant, who Katie you know in this as

0:28:52.680 --> 0:29:00.600
<v Speaker 2>he's gotten older, has been incredibly honest. Katie wants to weed,

0:29:01.320 --> 0:29:06.440
<v Speaker 2>play video games, mess with people on Twitter and hoop.

0:29:07.920 --> 0:29:10.760
<v Speaker 2>That's just what he wants to do. And he is

0:29:10.840 --> 0:29:14.640
<v Speaker 2>such a pure basketball player with such a pure love

0:29:14.680 --> 0:29:18.200
<v Speaker 2>for the game. I love it and I'm really glad

0:29:18.360 --> 0:29:21.800
<v Speaker 2>I listen he is. I mean, he's got four goals,

0:29:21.800 --> 0:29:24.400
<v Speaker 2>he's got the most points ever. If you say he's

0:29:24.440 --> 0:29:28.920
<v Speaker 2>the greatest men's basketball Olympian ever, you're probably right. And

0:29:28.960 --> 0:29:32.680
<v Speaker 2>that's part of the legacy. So those are the big three.

0:29:33.920 --> 0:29:36.560
<v Speaker 2>Do you Demonse, do you have a guess on who

0:29:36.640 --> 0:29:42.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna say was either the fourth best player or

0:29:42.920 --> 0:29:47.480
<v Speaker 2>at least the guy who stock, yeah, helped his stock

0:29:47.560 --> 0:29:49.080
<v Speaker 2>the most. Do you have a guess on who I

0:29:49.080 --> 0:29:53.520
<v Speaker 2>would say there, Devin book It is Devin Booker. So

0:29:53.720 --> 0:29:59.640
<v Speaker 2>Booker had a really cool tweet where is somebody had

0:29:59.640 --> 0:30:03.080
<v Speaker 2>tweeted like the US for twenty twenty four is gonna

0:30:03.080 --> 0:30:06.520
<v Speaker 2>need somebody who will set their ego aside do the

0:30:06.600 --> 0:30:10.680
<v Speaker 2>dirty work and something like that, and Booker quote tweeted

0:30:10.720 --> 0:30:15.280
<v Speaker 2>it and said I'll do it and ended up doing

0:30:15.360 --> 0:30:20.440
<v Speaker 2>exactly that. And Booker in this tournament played twenty two

0:30:20.440 --> 0:30:25.040
<v Speaker 2>minutes a night, shot fifty eight percent from the field

0:30:25.160 --> 0:30:30.120
<v Speaker 2>and fifty nine percent from three, and gave you twelve points,

0:30:30.200 --> 0:30:34.160
<v Speaker 2>three rebounds, three assists. And everyone will get to Tatum

0:30:34.160 --> 0:30:37.600
<v Speaker 2>in a moment, everyone mad at Steve Kerr for Tatum

0:30:37.800 --> 0:30:41.200
<v Speaker 2>not playing having a big role. It was Devin Booker's fault.

0:30:41.840 --> 0:30:46.640
<v Speaker 2>Devin Booker was too good, Devin Booker. And did Devin

0:30:46.680 --> 0:30:53.320
<v Speaker 2>Booker's performance in this make me look at him in

0:30:53.360 --> 0:30:58.920
<v Speaker 2>a more complimentary light moving forward? One hundred percent? He

0:30:59.040 --> 0:31:02.400
<v Speaker 2>seemed to have no ego do all the little things,

0:31:03.880 --> 0:31:09.640
<v Speaker 2>you know, couldn't miss, which helps always and was phenomenal

0:31:10.480 --> 0:31:14.400
<v Speaker 2>and so yeah, I mean I the so I thought

0:31:14.440 --> 0:31:20.200
<v Speaker 2>Booker to me was the fourth star. The fifth star

0:31:21.760 --> 0:31:25.600
<v Speaker 2>was Aunt, and part of that's because of his play,

0:31:26.040 --> 0:31:29.200
<v Speaker 2>and part of that's because of his personality. So Aunt

0:31:29.320 --> 0:31:32.920
<v Speaker 2>only played sixteen minutes a game. There were some games

0:31:32.960 --> 0:31:34.680
<v Speaker 2>where it looked like it was a little too much

0:31:34.720 --> 0:31:37.080
<v Speaker 2>for him, and some games where it looked like he

0:31:37.240 --> 0:31:43.040
<v Speaker 2>was just had fire, you know, fire breathing dragon and

0:31:43.120 --> 0:31:47.160
<v Speaker 2>one of the one of the coolest moments of the tournament.

0:31:47.840 --> 0:31:51.680
<v Speaker 2>And shout out Noah Eagle, who if you remind if

0:31:51.720 --> 0:31:54.520
<v Speaker 2>you guys, remind me, we're going too long here. Put

0:31:54.520 --> 0:31:57.920
<v Speaker 2>this in the notes. Remind me on Thursday to say

0:31:57.960 --> 0:32:01.080
<v Speaker 2>something about Noah Egle longer for him. Shout out to

0:32:01.120 --> 0:32:06.920
<v Speaker 2>Noah Eagle for capturing this moment as he did. But

0:32:07.040 --> 0:32:11.040
<v Speaker 2>in the gold medal game, when Durant and Ant are

0:32:11.080 --> 0:32:15.000
<v Speaker 2>on a fast break and Durant finds Ant for a

0:32:15.120 --> 0:32:22.320
<v Speaker 2>lob dunk, that had to be maybe the coolest moment

0:32:22.360 --> 0:32:26.000
<v Speaker 2>of Ant's basketball life, certainly on the short list. That's

0:32:26.080 --> 0:32:32.680
<v Speaker 2>his hero, that's his childhood idol. Like all right, Durant's

0:32:32.720 --> 0:32:38.240
<v Speaker 2>been in the league sixteen years. Aunt Edwards is twenty

0:32:39.680 --> 0:32:46.280
<v Speaker 2>turned twenty three last week. So since Ant Spin, a

0:32:46.360 --> 0:32:51.360
<v Speaker 2>third grader, Durant Spin, an MVP level guy, looked up

0:32:51.400 --> 0:32:54.560
<v Speaker 2>to him, wanted to be him and then be in

0:32:54.640 --> 0:32:57.720
<v Speaker 2>the gold medal game catching an alley oop from him,

0:32:58.200 --> 0:33:03.280
<v Speaker 2>It's unfathomable. And I also loved the role like Aunt

0:33:03.480 --> 0:33:08.239
<v Speaker 2>is so genuinely himself, where I don't know if you

0:33:08.320 --> 0:33:12.200
<v Speaker 2>saw the video Step posted that evidently Aunt after the

0:33:12.200 --> 0:33:16.520
<v Speaker 2>gold medal game said to him, you just showed up

0:33:16.560 --> 0:33:21.000
<v Speaker 2>to Paris three days ago, giving steps because he hadn't

0:33:21.040 --> 0:33:24.200
<v Speaker 2>played well prior to the semi final, and then the

0:33:24.280 --> 0:33:28.240
<v Speaker 2>team giving giving Ant for not knowing how to pop

0:33:28.320 --> 0:33:32.120
<v Speaker 2>champagne and saying you ain't been there. So they're on

0:33:32.240 --> 0:33:35.960
<v Speaker 2>the steps and everyone's shaking up champagne and popping the

0:33:36.000 --> 0:33:40.320
<v Speaker 2>bottles and Aunt doesn't know how to do it, and

0:33:40.400 --> 0:33:42.760
<v Speaker 2>all the three older guys are like, oh, yeah, you

0:33:42.800 --> 0:33:45.719
<v Speaker 2>ain't won yet, You've never did to do it. How

0:33:46.440 --> 0:33:50.840
<v Speaker 2>was the so well? It is so the I mean, honestly,

0:33:51.560 --> 0:33:54.840
<v Speaker 2>the mistake people make is they try to just push

0:33:55.360 --> 0:33:57.920
<v Speaker 2>the cork out when what you need to do is

0:33:58.040 --> 0:34:01.960
<v Speaker 2>twist and pull and so I obviously never won a championship,

0:34:01.960 --> 0:34:06.720
<v Speaker 2>but I've opened champagne bottles and so it was just

0:34:06.760 --> 0:34:15.799
<v Speaker 2>a really endearing moment where he was like, oh, yeah, yeah,

0:34:15.520 --> 0:34:19.520
<v Speaker 2>I think the next youngest is Halliburton. But yeah, uh so,

0:34:20.000 --> 0:34:26.360
<v Speaker 2>you know there's there's the Anthony Edwards piece. Joel Embiid

0:34:28.400 --> 0:34:32.240
<v Speaker 2>after looking again like it was gonna be another time

0:34:32.920 --> 0:34:36.520
<v Speaker 2>where all right, you know, Embiid in a big spot

0:34:36.600 --> 0:34:39.920
<v Speaker 2>doesn't show up. Showed up in the Serbia game and

0:34:40.000 --> 0:34:43.520
<v Speaker 2>the game before. Had a really big sequence in the

0:34:43.560 --> 0:34:46.120
<v Speaker 2>Serbia game where he scored seven straight points, also gave

0:34:46.200 --> 0:34:51.000
<v Speaker 2>up some bad rebounds. But here is my glass half

0:34:51.080 --> 0:34:55.800
<v Speaker 2>full view of this demanse. This is the first time

0:34:55.880 --> 0:35:02.800
<v Speaker 2>in Joel's life he's played with winning play in big moments.

0:35:03.520 --> 0:35:06.160
<v Speaker 2>He's never played in big games. Biggest game he's ever

0:35:06.200 --> 0:35:09.239
<v Speaker 2>played in is Game seven of Round two a couple times.

0:35:09.760 --> 0:35:16.080
<v Speaker 2>Maybe he learns from this experience the way Mellow Wade

0:35:16.080 --> 0:35:21.400
<v Speaker 2>and Lebron learned from the eight experience with Kobe, that's

0:35:21.480 --> 0:35:25.640
<v Speaker 2>the hope. I thought some of his stuff with some

0:35:25.680 --> 0:35:27.800
<v Speaker 2>of his quotes were kind of clownish, and I'm not

0:35:27.880 --> 0:35:30.840
<v Speaker 2>a huge fan of the suck it crotch chop stuff.

0:35:31.200 --> 0:35:34.040
<v Speaker 2>But he is who he is, but we have to

0:35:34.040 --> 0:35:37.600
<v Speaker 2>give credit words due. He did have a couple excellent games.

0:35:38.200 --> 0:35:44.640
<v Speaker 2>Anthony Davis I thought was steady, reliable force throughout, didn't

0:35:44.680 --> 0:35:49.480
<v Speaker 2>play a ton later in the tournament, was great defensively

0:35:49.560 --> 0:35:52.960
<v Speaker 2>whenever he was out there, just like Bam was. I

0:35:53.000 --> 0:35:56.919
<v Speaker 2>also thought Bam, you know again, didn't play a lot.

0:35:57.280 --> 0:36:01.000
<v Speaker 2>Bam embiide in ad all averaged rounds sixteen minutes a game,

0:36:01.000 --> 0:36:03.080
<v Speaker 2>which makes sense you only have forty minutes, and those

0:36:03.200 --> 0:36:07.400
<v Speaker 2>year three bigs they're gonna split it up. But I

0:36:07.440 --> 0:36:10.880
<v Speaker 2>thought Bam handled himself really well. Bam and Ad were

0:36:10.920 --> 0:36:15.680
<v Speaker 2>great defensively. And then the other guy who I thought

0:36:15.760 --> 0:36:21.239
<v Speaker 2>was sneaky excellent and found himself more prominently featured than

0:36:21.280 --> 0:36:25.320
<v Speaker 2>a lot of people probably expected was Drew. Where Drew

0:36:25.640 --> 0:36:28.759
<v Speaker 2>was the guy that Kerk could just put in there

0:36:29.680 --> 0:36:33.680
<v Speaker 2>and he would do whatever was needed. He is the

0:36:33.719 --> 0:36:38.319
<v Speaker 2>definition of a winning player. Can understand the game, will

0:36:38.400 --> 0:36:43.839
<v Speaker 2>always play great defense, will always be unselfish, and will

0:36:43.840 --> 0:36:49.160
<v Speaker 2>do his thing. Derek White, obviously very early in the tournament,

0:36:49.560 --> 0:36:52.080
<v Speaker 2>had one great game where he couldn't miss, but he

0:36:52.200 --> 0:36:54.880
<v Speaker 2>really was not supposed to be there and was happy

0:36:54.880 --> 0:36:58.799
<v Speaker 2>to be there. Haliburton. Good for him for having a

0:36:58.840 --> 0:37:03.080
<v Speaker 2>good disposition and not complaining about being the you know,

0:37:03.200 --> 0:37:05.280
<v Speaker 2>the guy who didn't get in. This is the argument

0:37:05.320 --> 0:37:08.680
<v Speaker 2>to not having twelve stars on the team, because then

0:37:08.719 --> 0:37:10.439
<v Speaker 2>a star is going to be in the Haliburton role,

0:37:11.120 --> 0:37:18.960
<v Speaker 2>and then there's Tatum who sometimes basketball simple. He didn't

0:37:18.960 --> 0:37:22.880
<v Speaker 2>make a jump shot from the exhibition play to the

0:37:22.920 --> 0:37:28.839
<v Speaker 2>gold medal game outside of three feet. He was zero

0:37:28.960 --> 0:37:34.280
<v Speaker 2>for sixteen. Tough spot, man, And in the gold medal

0:37:34.360 --> 0:37:38.600
<v Speaker 2>game there was a sequence where he had the ball,

0:37:39.200 --> 0:37:42.799
<v Speaker 2>almost turned it over, got it back, and then put

0:37:42.880 --> 0:37:46.680
<v Speaker 2>up this awkward, kind of awful floater and it was

0:37:46.760 --> 0:37:53.840
<v Speaker 2>like man, yeah, yeah, and it was like man, it

0:37:54.040 --> 0:37:57.759
<v Speaker 2>just really seems like his confidence was shaken. It's a

0:37:57.800 --> 0:38:00.239
<v Speaker 2>weird spot. I'm not going to kill him, but his

0:38:00.320 --> 0:38:04.320
<v Speaker 2>disposition was fine. The it's not I don't want to

0:38:04.320 --> 0:38:07.360
<v Speaker 2>say it's not his fault. That sounds almost patronizing, but

0:38:07.480 --> 0:38:11.400
<v Speaker 2>he just just his shot. From the start of the

0:38:11.440 --> 0:38:15.120
<v Speaker 2>Eastern Conference Finals to right now, his SHOT's been off

0:38:15.680 --> 0:38:21.239
<v Speaker 2>and it's messed with his confidence level. And so it's

0:38:21.239 --> 0:38:25.480
<v Speaker 2>obviously not like it's not a great look, but what

0:38:25.520 --> 0:38:28.319
<v Speaker 2>are you gonna do, Like, I just don't know. Like,

0:38:28.440 --> 0:38:30.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm not gonna kill him, and I'm also not gonna

0:38:30.800 --> 0:38:33.399
<v Speaker 2>kill Kerve for not playing him trying to win these

0:38:33.480 --> 0:38:38.080
<v Speaker 2>games and Tatum wasn't playing. Well, you're a Tatum fan, demonse,

0:38:38.760 --> 0:38:41.239
<v Speaker 2>you go. If you think I'm being unfairer, you just

0:38:41.360 --> 0:38:42.640
<v Speaker 2>give your take. Go ahead.

0:38:44.400 --> 0:38:46.520
<v Speaker 3>And in the very beginning I thought it was a

0:38:46.520 --> 0:38:49.520
<v Speaker 3>little strange when Tatum wasn't playing, and then he got

0:38:49.560 --> 0:38:51.640
<v Speaker 3>put in and he didn't hit the shots, and they

0:38:51.680 --> 0:38:53.680
<v Speaker 3>continued to basically not play him.

0:38:54.520 --> 0:38:55.960
<v Speaker 2>I look, but yeah, I just thought.

0:38:55.840 --> 0:38:57.920
<v Speaker 3>It was super weird in the beginning, But then as

0:38:58.320 --> 0:39:01.840
<v Speaker 3>the Olympics continued, it started to make sense. He is

0:39:01.920 --> 0:39:04.200
<v Speaker 3>my guy, but like, you gotta hit shots, and I

0:39:04.239 --> 0:39:06.399
<v Speaker 3>do think that it's a confidence issue. I do think

0:39:06.400 --> 0:39:08.560
<v Speaker 3>he's been in his head since the finals and it

0:39:08.600 --> 0:39:10.640
<v Speaker 3>did not help. He ended up having to play for

0:39:10.680 --> 0:39:12.719
<v Speaker 3>the freaking country a couple months later.

0:39:13.600 --> 0:39:15.600
<v Speaker 2>Well yeah, I mean, it could have helped if you'd

0:39:15.640 --> 0:39:18.200
<v Speaker 2>have played well. But it was what's so weird is

0:39:18.520 --> 0:39:22.440
<v Speaker 2>he was excellent in the last Olympics and so he's

0:39:22.480 --> 0:39:25.160
<v Speaker 2>played great on this stage. It was just a weird spot,

0:39:25.840 --> 0:39:28.200
<v Speaker 2>all right, so let's go ahead. Let's quickly get to

0:39:28.239 --> 0:39:30.160
<v Speaker 2>the other Olympics things and then we'll move on.

0:39:30.840 --> 0:39:34.040
<v Speaker 3>So Team USA basketball has been dominant since two thousand

0:39:34.040 --> 0:39:36.399
<v Speaker 3>and four with all those medals and goals we got,

0:39:36.800 --> 0:39:39.600
<v Speaker 3>but the rest of the world is starting to catch up. Obviously,

0:39:39.680 --> 0:39:42.480
<v Speaker 3>Serbia kept it pretty close, and France is going to

0:39:42.520 --> 0:39:45.840
<v Speaker 3>get better. Wimby's only going to get better. How scared

0:39:45.920 --> 0:39:48.799
<v Speaker 3>of the Team US? The Team USA twenty twenty eight teen?

0:39:48.920 --> 0:39:57.040
<v Speaker 2>B Uh? I mean scared? I mean, so you look

0:39:57.080 --> 0:40:02.759
<v Speaker 2>at this year's team. Staph Lebron Durant are gone in

0:40:02.840 --> 0:40:07.720
<v Speaker 2>four years, so take them off it. Embeid is already

0:40:07.800 --> 0:40:10.480
<v Speaker 2>talking about playing for someone else, so take him off it.

0:40:12.480 --> 0:40:18.280
<v Speaker 2>I don't know that you can rely on that Anthony

0:40:18.360 --> 0:40:22.560
<v Speaker 2>Davis is gonna play again. I would preliminarily possibly take

0:40:22.640 --> 0:40:27.320
<v Speaker 2>him off it. So what's the team look like? Booker?

0:40:27.520 --> 0:40:30.640
<v Speaker 2>I think will come back, and obviously will come back,

0:40:31.040 --> 0:40:35.280
<v Speaker 2>I would think, and Tatum would come back, I would think,

0:40:35.520 --> 0:40:38.560
<v Speaker 2>but maybe he's pissed. The thing is you might have

0:40:38.640 --> 0:40:42.319
<v Speaker 2>alienated Tatum and Brown and you're gonna need him in

0:40:42.320 --> 0:40:47.200
<v Speaker 2>four years. And now obviously there's the young people are like, oh,

0:40:47.200 --> 0:40:49.920
<v Speaker 2>Cooper flag. There's the young guys. I get that Drew

0:40:50.000 --> 0:40:53.560
<v Speaker 2>won't be there in four years, No chance. Drew's another

0:40:53.600 --> 0:40:55.800
<v Speaker 2>one of the older guys that I wasn't even talking about.

0:40:56.400 --> 0:41:00.399
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, like I, they could be in trouble. They

0:41:00.440 --> 0:41:02.800
<v Speaker 2>absolutely I don't want to go through who's going to

0:41:02.840 --> 0:41:05.680
<v Speaker 2>be on the roster. We've spent too much time, but yeah,

0:41:06.000 --> 0:41:10.480
<v Speaker 2>they absolutely could be in trouble. In France is only

0:41:10.520 --> 0:41:15.040
<v Speaker 2>going to be getting more formidable. Uh all right, let's

0:41:15.080 --> 0:41:15.360
<v Speaker 2>move on.

0:41:17.400 --> 0:41:20.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, what were your favorite non basketball moments from these Olympics?

0:41:21.760 --> 0:41:24.839
<v Speaker 2>Oh? Man, So the kid from Kansas City, Quincy Hall

0:41:25.800 --> 0:41:29.560
<v Speaker 2>winning the four hundred coming back from fifth place was unbelievable.

0:41:30.239 --> 0:41:35.680
<v Speaker 2>There is a great video of a young female Chinese

0:41:35.719 --> 0:41:40.920
<v Speaker 2>gymnast at the metal stand seeing the two Americans biting

0:41:40.960 --> 0:41:44.040
<v Speaker 2>their medals and then looking over like, oh, is that

0:41:44.080 --> 0:41:46.400
<v Speaker 2>what we're supposed to do? And it just seemed like

0:41:46.440 --> 0:41:49.920
<v Speaker 2>she wanted to be included, so she bit hers. I

0:41:49.960 --> 0:41:54.799
<v Speaker 2>thought that was great. I thought Simone's redemption story was phenomenal.

0:41:56.400 --> 0:42:01.600
<v Speaker 2>I thought I can't get enough of city Ny McLoughlin Lavroni,

0:42:02.040 --> 0:42:05.080
<v Speaker 2>the hurdler and the four hundred meter runner. She is

0:42:06.800 --> 0:42:12.359
<v Speaker 2>a legendary athlete, and the gap between her and the

0:42:12.440 --> 0:42:15.960
<v Speaker 2>second best ever in her sport, fimke Bol is just

0:42:16.000 --> 0:42:19.440
<v Speaker 2>getting bigger. I mean it's like it's like a Ledeci

0:42:19.600 --> 0:42:24.840
<v Speaker 2>style gap. Uh. And there was something else. Oh, I

0:42:24.920 --> 0:42:28.440
<v Speaker 2>was happy Shakari got her gold. That made me really

0:42:28.480 --> 0:42:33.080
<v Speaker 2>happy that they that she got her gold after I

0:42:33.120 --> 0:42:38.560
<v Speaker 2>think deserving it for quite some time. And I also, Uh,

0:42:38.640 --> 0:42:43.680
<v Speaker 2>there was another moment that I oh Novak Novak who

0:42:43.760 --> 0:42:49.440
<v Speaker 2>really wanted uh clearly to win gold and finally did

0:42:50.000 --> 0:42:53.239
<v Speaker 2>even though he beat my guy. Those were great. I

0:42:53.440 --> 0:42:56.799
<v Speaker 2>love the Olympics. Oh, I guess the metal by the

0:42:56.840 --> 0:43:00.640
<v Speaker 2>gymnasts were Italian not American with the where the girl

0:43:00.920 --> 0:43:04.440
<v Speaker 2>was doing what they were doing. Thank you guys. And

0:43:04.560 --> 0:43:08.359
<v Speaker 2>the next Olympics to Monse are in La. Yes. And

0:43:08.480 --> 0:43:12.680
<v Speaker 2>so I am I told you what your wife your

<v Speaker 2>mom yesterday that I am I am going to a

0:43:20.200 --> 0:43:24.360
<v Speaker 2>year out from the Olympics. Make it very clear to

<v Speaker 2>show to La. We're going to do the show from

0:43:33.880 --> 0:43:37.239
<v Speaker 2>the lot in La. Because I want to be I

0:43:37.440 --> 0:43:41.520
<v Speaker 2>was so jealous a Ancha who was there and was

0:43:41.560 --> 0:43:44.319
<v Speaker 2>able to watch the track and field. I don't care

0:43:44.400 --> 0:43:47.200
<v Speaker 2>so much about the swimming. I know people love swimming.

0:43:47.600 --> 0:43:49.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm not as into it. But I want to be

0:43:50.040 --> 0:43:53.800
<v Speaker 2>at track and field every night for an Olympic week

0:43:54.160 --> 0:43:56.800
<v Speaker 2>and to be have it be in LA in prime

0:43:56.920 --> 0:44:00.680
<v Speaker 2>time is going to be so great. And so and

0:44:00.719 --> 0:44:02.360
<v Speaker 2>there's a lot of you know, other stuff that I

0:44:02.400 --> 0:44:05.719
<v Speaker 2>want to see. But I loved these Olympics. I thought

0:44:05.800 --> 0:44:08.360
<v Speaker 2>NBC did a great job with it. Shout out to

0:44:08.680 --> 0:44:12.120
<v Speaker 2>everybody involved. I loved it. And so I you know,

0:44:12.239 --> 0:44:17.760
<v Speaker 2>I the I'm I like the Winter Olympics. I love

0:44:18.400 --> 0:44:22.719

0:45:43.440 --> 0:45:46.960
<v Speaker 2>let's get to some football real quick before we get

0:45:47.000 --> 0:45:48.760
<v Speaker 2>some listener questions. Go ahead.

0:45:49.760 --> 0:45:51.919
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, So on our last pot on Thursday, you came

0:45:51.960 --> 0:45:54.279
<v Speaker 3>out and said that or Andy came out that Andy

0:45:54.320 --> 0:45:56.560
<v Speaker 3>Reid was playing as starters. She said that everybody should

0:45:56.600 --> 0:45:58.440
<v Speaker 3>play their starters. Do what Andy Reid's doing. He's the

0:45:58.440 --> 0:46:01.520
<v Speaker 3>greatest coach. Yes, and Hollywood Brown got hurt on the

0:46:01.560 --> 0:46:05.040
<v Speaker 3>first play in the preseason game, So yeah, you think

0:46:05.160 --> 0:46:06.760
<v Speaker 3>you should stick to that.

0:46:06.760 --> 0:46:08.680
<v Speaker 2>It's still a good idea. I'm not going to play

0:46:08.680 --> 0:46:11.200
<v Speaker 2>the result. Yeah, you know, guys might get dinged up,

0:46:11.680 --> 0:46:15.160
<v Speaker 2>but the overall the greater. He's still there.

0:46:16.719 --> 0:46:20.040
<v Speaker 3>What that guy's You're that guy's always hurt. He's your

0:46:20.080 --> 0:46:23.359
<v Speaker 3>most notably hurt guy. Probably should well, I don't.

0:46:23.880 --> 0:46:26.279
<v Speaker 2>I mean, well, listen, I mean it's his first game

0:46:26.280 --> 0:46:31.000
<v Speaker 2>ever with the Chiefs. Uh. Listen. He's a small receiver,

0:46:31.160 --> 0:46:34.600
<v Speaker 2>so he's going to have some injury issues in his defense.

0:46:35.360 --> 0:46:39.880
<v Speaker 2>His he his games played in his career are fourteen, sixteen, sixteen,

0:46:40.000 --> 0:46:43.080
<v Speaker 2>twelve fourteen, So he gets dinged and misses a little

0:46:43.080 --> 0:46:45.200
<v Speaker 2>bit of time, but it's not a guy who is

0:46:45.280 --> 0:46:49.560
<v Speaker 2>consistently missing big time. He suffered as injury similar to

0:46:49.600 --> 0:46:52.040
<v Speaker 2>one you suffered, demand, I can tell by the way

0:46:52.080 --> 0:46:57.160
<v Speaker 2>he fell, except oddly evidently it wasn't so your injury

0:46:57.239 --> 0:47:00.719
<v Speaker 2>was at this part of your collar bone. His was

0:47:00.840 --> 0:47:03.600
<v Speaker 2>at this part, the one that connects to the sternum.

0:47:04.000 --> 0:47:06.800
<v Speaker 2>So they said that it's more associated with a car crash.

0:47:06.920 --> 0:47:10.439
<v Speaker 2>Tyreek Hill suffered this injury as well. Listen, he might

0:47:10.520 --> 0:47:14.680
<v Speaker 2>miss week one, it's not. It doesn't change my opinion

0:47:14.719 --> 0:47:19.160
<v Speaker 2>on playing your guys as smart. And I'll be honest, oddly,

0:47:19.560 --> 0:47:23.320
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I feel bad for Hollywood, but I'd prefer

0:47:23.400 --> 0:47:27.160
<v Speaker 2>it be this than like a hamstring tweak or an

0:47:27.239 --> 0:47:31.319
<v Speaker 2>ankle sprain, some lower body injury that's gonna slow you

0:47:31.400 --> 0:47:34.680
<v Speaker 2>down and hamper you throughout the year. This is pretty simple.

0:47:35.040 --> 0:47:38.120
<v Speaker 2>The bone's gonna heal and he's gonna be fine. So no,

0:47:39.239 --> 0:47:42.600
<v Speaker 2>it seems like everyone else was a lot more worried

0:47:42.600 --> 0:47:45.239
<v Speaker 2>about that than I was. Next.

0:47:46.480 --> 0:47:48.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so it's been a while since we had some

0:47:48.920 --> 0:47:51.960
<v Speaker 3>football to watch, so naturally everybody's gonna blow up with

0:47:52.040 --> 0:47:55.799
<v Speaker 3>the smallest thing. But sometimes those overreactions turn out to

0:47:55.800 --> 0:47:58.480
<v Speaker 3>be the truth. So let's decide what is what in

0:47:58.560 --> 0:48:01.920
<v Speaker 3>a game of factor over react. So you may be

0:48:02.000 --> 0:48:05.000
<v Speaker 3>onto something. You may be onto something with your guy Caleb.

0:48:05.280 --> 0:48:08.640
<v Speaker 3>In his first on field action, Williams is all but perfect.

0:48:08.880 --> 0:48:11.680
<v Speaker 3>Lead in the field by a large margin of inefficiency.

0:48:11.960 --> 0:48:12.760
<v Speaker 3>Here is numbers.

0:48:13.040 --> 0:48:17.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, okay, yeah, number point ninety seven EPA per play.

0:48:17.120 --> 0:48:19.719
<v Speaker 2>Joe Burrow was number two amongst quarterbacks this week with

0:48:19.800 --> 0:48:21.879
<v Speaker 2>point six to two. So yeah, that's a big number.

0:48:21.920 --> 0:48:25.800
<v Speaker 3>Go ahead, company, So factor overreact, Caleb Williams is the

0:48:25.880 --> 0:48:28.719
<v Speaker 3>number one quarterback in the NFC, all.

0:48:28.680 --> 0:48:31.799
<v Speaker 2>Right, So that's probably an overreaction right now. It might

0:48:31.840 --> 0:48:34.960
<v Speaker 2>be a fact by the end of the Year, competing

0:48:35.000 --> 0:48:39.799
<v Speaker 2>with Stafford Dak your guy, Jordan Love, Jared Goff would

0:48:39.880 --> 0:48:42.319
<v Speaker 2>be the biggest competitors for it. I think he could

0:48:42.360 --> 0:48:44.200
<v Speaker 2>be number one by the end of the year. I

0:48:44.239 --> 0:48:47.960
<v Speaker 2>do think, okay, all the great quarterbacks are in the AFC,

0:48:48.440 --> 0:48:50.400
<v Speaker 2>and I think Caleb is going to be a special,

0:48:50.560 --> 0:48:52.040
<v Speaker 2>special player. Next.

0:48:52.800 --> 0:48:55.360
<v Speaker 3>Speaking of Jordan Love, he picked up right where he

0:48:55.440 --> 0:48:58.560
<v Speaker 3>left off, launching a bomb for a sixty five yard

0:48:58.600 --> 0:49:01.240
<v Speaker 3>touchdown a few plays into only drive for the game.

0:49:01.920 --> 0:49:06.040
<v Speaker 3>Fact overreact Jordan Love is in for an MVP caliber season.

0:49:07.120 --> 0:49:11.400
<v Speaker 2>I think that's an overreaction. I the MVP caliber is

0:49:11.440 --> 0:49:14.120
<v Speaker 2>a bridge too far, in part because I just don't

0:49:14.160 --> 0:49:18.040
<v Speaker 2>think the UH Packers are going to have the record

0:49:18.320 --> 0:49:22.040
<v Speaker 2>requisite for their quarterback to win the MVP the way

0:49:22.080 --> 0:49:24.400
<v Speaker 2>the MVP voters have done it lately. You have to

0:49:24.440 --> 0:49:27.520
<v Speaker 2>win twelve or thirteen or fourteen games. I don't think

0:49:27.560 --> 0:49:29.640
<v Speaker 2>the Packers are going to do that. But I do

0:49:29.719 --> 0:49:31.840
<v Speaker 2>think Jordan Love is one of the most interesting players

0:49:31.840 --> 0:49:34.000
<v Speaker 2>in the league to watch this year because we've seen

0:49:34.040 --> 0:49:36.600
<v Speaker 2>him play one season, first half of which he was

0:49:36.640 --> 0:49:38.840
<v Speaker 2>not good, the second half of which he was an

0:49:38.880 --> 0:49:41.879
<v Speaker 2>A plus, and he's being able to see.

0:49:41.600 --> 0:49:44.040
<v Speaker 3>The bigger what ifs of this season come it to come.

0:49:44.160 --> 0:49:47.520
<v Speaker 2>Yes, and they've paid him as if they know, so

0:49:47.600 --> 0:49:49.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm super excited to see it next.

0:49:50.200 --> 0:49:53.080
<v Speaker 3>The Broncos were laughed at for picking a senior citizen

0:49:53.120 --> 0:49:56.319
<v Speaker 3>with a twelfth overall pick, but bo Nicks quieted the

0:49:56.360 --> 0:49:59.680
<v Speaker 3>doubters early leading four scoring drives in his preseason debut

0:49:59.760 --> 0:50:03.480
<v Speaker 3>versus the Colts. Factor overreact bo Nix is heen?

0:50:04.920 --> 0:50:08.439
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, No, that's obviously overreacting. Here's the deal. I didn't

0:50:08.440 --> 0:50:12.080
<v Speaker 2>think Bonix played very well, and Broncos fans are mad

0:50:12.200 --> 0:50:15.920
<v Speaker 2>because I said this on TV and they're like, oh,

0:50:16.080 --> 0:50:18.919
<v Speaker 2>Nick's just a Broncos hater. Let me tell you something

0:50:19.360 --> 0:50:23.520
<v Speaker 2>I don't. There are the Chiefs Broncos used to be

0:50:23.600 --> 0:50:27.719
<v Speaker 2>a rivalry. That's pretty good. Um, the this is a

0:50:27.719 --> 0:50:31.239
<v Speaker 2>good photoshop if you're not watching on YouTube. Uh, the

0:50:31.320 --> 0:50:34.399
<v Speaker 2>Chiefs Broncos used to be a rivalry. Then we beat

0:50:34.480 --> 0:50:37.440
<v Speaker 2>them sixteen times in a row and it stopped being

0:50:37.520 --> 0:50:45.120
<v Speaker 2>a rivalry. The the NFL on their YouTube page has

0:50:45.160 --> 0:50:47.759
<v Speaker 2>for every rookie quarterback if you type in the name

0:50:47.800 --> 0:50:50.440
<v Speaker 2>of the quarterback and then every throw, they have a

0:50:50.480 --> 0:50:54.319
<v Speaker 2>cutup of every throw. I think anyone that is just

0:50:54.400 --> 0:50:57.719
<v Speaker 2>looking at the numbers from bow Nix's debut should go

0:50:57.840 --> 0:51:02.960
<v Speaker 2>watch the throws and why much his skittishness in the pocket.

0:51:03.360 --> 0:51:07.160
<v Speaker 2>I was not impressed. Maybe I again, you can say

0:51:07.160 --> 0:51:09.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm being biased. It's that because I didn't think it

0:51:09.920 --> 0:51:12.600
<v Speaker 2>was that good coming out of college. Go watch the throws.

0:51:12.920 --> 0:51:16.360
<v Speaker 2>But I think the Broncos are in the worst quarterback

0:51:16.520 --> 0:51:20.400
<v Speaker 2>shape of anyone in the league other than maybe the Raiders.

0:51:21.280 --> 0:51:24.360
<v Speaker 2>It's Zach Wilson, Jared Stidham, and bow Nicks. And I

0:51:24.400 --> 0:51:26.880
<v Speaker 2>don't think Nix has it. I know everyone liked how

0:51:26.920 --> 0:51:29.080
<v Speaker 2>he played this weekend. I'm not one of those people.

0:51:29.280 --> 0:51:33.440
<v Speaker 3>Next all right, tenth overall pick JJ McCarthy had a

0:51:33.480 --> 0:51:36.480
<v Speaker 3>solid showing in his debut. It is after you threw

0:51:36.520 --> 0:51:39.560
<v Speaker 3>an interception on the first on the first possession. Sam

0:51:39.600 --> 0:51:42.120
<v Speaker 3>Donald is a starter for now, but Sam Donald is

0:51:42.200 --> 0:51:47.040
<v Speaker 3>obviously Sam Donald a fact overreact. JJ will start Week one.

0:51:48.120 --> 0:51:51.279
<v Speaker 2>I think he might. And here's the deal, So this

0:51:51.360 --> 0:51:53.800
<v Speaker 2>is I wasn't high on JJ coming out of college

0:51:53.800 --> 0:51:57.680
<v Speaker 2>at all either. Similar to Knicks, I thought he played excellent.

0:51:58.360 --> 0:52:02.200
<v Speaker 2>I was really impressed by what he did. And yeah,

0:52:02.320 --> 0:52:05.040
<v Speaker 2>I know he and Nix had similar numbers. I thought

0:52:05.160 --> 0:52:11.440
<v Speaker 2>JJ's were way more believable and duplicable, and so I thought, listen,

0:52:11.480 --> 0:52:14.320
<v Speaker 2>we know who Sam Darnold is, and so if JJ

0:52:14.480 --> 0:52:16.840
<v Speaker 2>is anywhere close to ready, he should be the starter.

0:52:17.120 --> 0:52:18.480
<v Speaker 2>Next makes sense.

0:52:19.400 --> 0:52:21.680
<v Speaker 3>Noah Lyles has had quite the week, and now he

0:52:21.760 --> 0:52:23.400
<v Speaker 3>has Tyreek Tyreek Hill.

0:52:23.360 --> 0:52:26.319
<v Speaker 2>Coming after him. We're gonna play a little video. Would

0:52:26.360 --> 0:52:27.840
<v Speaker 2>you like to race him when he gets home? I

0:52:27.840 --> 0:52:29.840
<v Speaker 2>will beat no alloos. You think I will beat no

0:52:29.960 --> 0:52:33.040
<v Speaker 2>Allows a lot? I won't beat him by alive, but

0:52:33.160 --> 0:52:33.640
<v Speaker 2>I would.

0:52:33.440 --> 0:52:35.160
<v Speaker 1>Beat no I'd like to see that happen.

0:52:35.920 --> 0:52:41.279
<v Speaker 2>Okah, Listen, I love Tyreek, but I mean relax man,

0:52:41.400 --> 0:52:44.000
<v Speaker 2>and I don't even really like Noahliles. But he's not

0:52:44.040 --> 0:52:45.239
<v Speaker 2>gonna beat Noahliles.

0:52:45.600 --> 0:52:49.360
<v Speaker 3>Wait, so maybe this is just ignorance by me, But

0:52:49.520 --> 0:52:52.000
<v Speaker 3>I don't think. I don't think Tyreek is talking out

0:52:52.000 --> 0:52:53.359
<v Speaker 3>a cat. I don't think he's talking on a hand

0:52:53.440 --> 0:52:55.200
<v Speaker 3>right there. I think there is a change.

0:52:55.239 --> 0:52:57.600
<v Speaker 2>I think Tyreek Hill could win the one hundred meters

0:52:57.680 --> 0:53:01.080
<v Speaker 2>gold medal. No, that's what Noel Liles just did.

0:53:01.760 --> 0:53:04.359
<v Speaker 3>Okay, Yeah, but I mean I'm figuring they're just talking

0:53:04.400 --> 0:53:07.040
<v Speaker 3>to like a straight line regular race like, yeah.

0:53:07.280 --> 0:53:09.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's what the one hundred meters is is a

0:53:09.160 --> 0:53:16.400
<v Speaker 2>straight line, regular race. Yeah, without pay. They're all close,

0:53:17.200 --> 0:53:20.840
<v Speaker 2>They're I mean one hundred meters dash, They're all close.

0:53:21.560 --> 0:53:25.960
<v Speaker 2>But no, I listen, Tyree Tyreek Hill. Listen, here's the

0:53:26.160 --> 0:53:30.000
<v Speaker 2>other thing forgive being fastest man in the world. Tyreek

0:53:30.080 --> 0:53:32.759
<v Speaker 2>Hill currently I don't think is the fastest man in

0:53:32.840 --> 0:53:37.960
<v Speaker 2>the A f C. Xavier Worthy records. So yeah, exactly,

0:53:38.480 --> 0:53:41.640
<v Speaker 2>so I listen, Tyreek kill is unbelievable. He's not faster

0:53:41.800 --> 0:53:44.880
<v Speaker 2>than Noah. Wait what if what if they both had

0:53:44.960 --> 0:53:45.360
<v Speaker 2>pads on?

0:53:45.480 --> 0:53:45.640
<v Speaker 3>Though?

0:53:47.320 --> 0:53:50.280
<v Speaker 2>Oh? That I then I would probably buy Tyreek because

0:53:50.360 --> 0:53:55.200
<v Speaker 2>Lyles isn't used to that sure on a football But you.

0:53:55.239 --> 0:53:57.560
<v Speaker 3>See how you just said that that no, Allowles isn't

0:53:57.600 --> 0:54:01.640
<v Speaker 3>used to having football pads and just like Tyreek hillsn't

0:54:01.680 --> 0:54:02.440
<v Speaker 3>used to having them off.

0:54:03.000 --> 0:54:06.239
<v Speaker 2>So it's like, no, I get that. So if we're saying,

0:54:06.320 --> 0:54:09.640
<v Speaker 2>but I when a race, I typically when people race,

0:54:09.680 --> 0:54:12.279
<v Speaker 2>they don't put on full football pads. He's talking about

0:54:12.280 --> 0:54:15.439
<v Speaker 2>beating Noah Liles. I assume it means on the track

0:54:15.640 --> 0:54:18.759
<v Speaker 2>or on the football field, but just a regular race,

0:54:18.920 --> 0:54:22.200
<v Speaker 2>not pad it up. He's not beating Noah Liles, He's

0:54:22.280 --> 0:54:26.879
<v Speaker 2>just not He's not even beating COVID stricken. Noahlliles, quick

0:54:26.920 --> 0:54:34.920
<v Speaker 2>break answer your listener questions. Next, what's right? All right?

0:54:35.000 --> 0:54:37.120
<v Speaker 2>Welcome back in. I gotta get to work to monsday.

0:54:37.200 --> 0:54:39.040
<v Speaker 2>So let's go through some of these listener questions.

0:54:39.160 --> 0:54:42.839
<v Speaker 3>Quick Scott Frasier, Nick, how many teams will how many

0:54:42.920 --> 0:54:46.360
<v Speaker 3>teams will have buyers remorse on the overpaid quarterback situation?

0:54:46.800 --> 0:54:49.520
<v Speaker 3>Over under five and a half? Oh?

0:54:49.760 --> 0:54:52.000
<v Speaker 2>Under five and a half. I mean, listen, I think

0:54:52.040 --> 0:54:56.279
<v Speaker 2>the Dolphins will with Tua. I obviously don't think the

0:54:56.480 --> 0:55:00.759
<v Speaker 2>Jags will. I think the the are going to be

0:55:00.840 --> 0:55:03.600
<v Speaker 2>fine with golf but so but some will, but it's

0:55:03.640 --> 0:55:05.959
<v Speaker 2>not going to be anywhere close to six. So way under.

0:55:06.120 --> 0:55:10.480
<v Speaker 3>Next, Kai Jelly, with Joe Burrow healthy and in camp.

0:55:10.680 --> 0:55:15.279
<v Speaker 3>Who is the biggest threat to Kansas City in the AFC? Bengals, Bills, Texans?

0:55:16.680 --> 0:55:18.759
<v Speaker 2>I think the Ravens probably should be included in that.

0:55:19.040 --> 0:55:21.759
<v Speaker 2>Some people would at least uh, the Texans are going

0:55:21.800 --> 0:55:25.440
<v Speaker 2>to be a trendy pick. With that said, even though

0:55:25.480 --> 0:55:28.080
<v Speaker 2>I have real concerns about the Bengals defense, I'm going

0:55:28.120 --> 0:55:32.120
<v Speaker 2>to give the Bengals respect and say the Bengals because

0:55:32.160 --> 0:55:35.400
<v Speaker 2>they're the only team that has beaten the Chiefs in

0:55:35.680 --> 0:55:38.840
<v Speaker 2>a game that matters, and so, you know, except for

0:55:39.000 --> 0:55:41.319
<v Speaker 2>Tom Brady teams, and he's gone now. So I'm going

0:55:41.400 --> 0:55:42.439
<v Speaker 2>to say the Bengals next.

0:55:44.239 --> 0:55:48.160
<v Speaker 3>Zaia Arno Fullert Nick, do you think coach Mangini has

0:55:48.200 --> 0:55:51.000
<v Speaker 3>thrown extra shade towards Mahomes and the Chiefs because he

0:55:51.080 --> 0:55:54.160
<v Speaker 3>realizes that they're actually threatening the Patriots in Tom.

0:55:55.440 --> 0:56:00.440
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I yes, I do, and I will tell coach yes,

0:56:00.560 --> 0:56:02.240
<v Speaker 2>I absolutely do. Next.

0:56:03.440 --> 0:56:06.040
<v Speaker 3>Uh, did Jokichen Serbia prove it it is better to

0:56:06.120 --> 0:56:09.000
<v Speaker 3>win the bronze than the silver in the in Olympic basketball.

0:56:10.920 --> 0:56:14.120
<v Speaker 2>That's always true in these team competitions because then you

0:56:14.239 --> 0:56:17.160
<v Speaker 2>go out with a win. Zim's been going out with

0:56:17.239 --> 0:56:19.080
<v Speaker 2>a win and going out with a loss, you get

0:56:19.120 --> 0:56:24.480
<v Speaker 2>to celebrate. Yeah, and so yeah too, yoga absolutely the

0:56:24.719 --> 0:56:25.040
<v Speaker 2>all right.

0:56:25.160 --> 0:56:30.040
<v Speaker 3>Next, Trey hasan question is is Katie Leadeki the most

0:56:30.160 --> 0:56:33.399
<v Speaker 3>underappreciated Olympic athlete? I feel like she does not get

0:56:33.480 --> 0:56:36.400
<v Speaker 3>enough credit in the mainstream media about how dominant she is.

0:56:37.960 --> 0:56:42.480
<v Speaker 2>Uh, I mean probably to a degree. I don't think

0:56:42.560 --> 0:56:45.680
<v Speaker 2>she's totally underappreciated. I think people know. But I also

0:56:45.800 --> 0:56:49.440
<v Speaker 2>think because her races are so long, it doesn't have

0:56:49.719 --> 0:56:53.279
<v Speaker 2>like the excitement of you know, Phelps's races. But yeah,

0:56:53.400 --> 0:56:56.880
<v Speaker 2>she is an all time legend and the greatest female

0:56:56.920 --> 0:56:59.160
<v Speaker 2>swimmer ever, I mean, hands down, all right.

0:56:59.280 --> 0:57:04.960
<v Speaker 3>Last one, Jeremy contrasts as early US Open tennis favorite.

0:57:06.000 --> 0:57:07.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, obviously, I told you I'm picking al

0:57:07.840 --> 0:57:10.440
<v Speaker 2>Karez in every major that exists when he's healthy for

0:57:10.480 --> 0:57:13.400
<v Speaker 2>the next eight years. So Carlos Alcarez and I'll be

0:57:13.440 --> 0:57:14.800
<v Speaker 2>out there. I didn't. I'm not going to be a

0:57:14.840 --> 0:57:17.320
<v Speaker 2>ball boy, but I'll be out there for it, all right.

0:57:17.600 --> 0:57:21.680
<v Speaker 2>I'll see you guys Thursday. Demon's great job, great Olympics.

0:57:21.720 --> 0:57:23.720
