66
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 1: But it was a beautiful, beautiful wedding. Food was good,

67
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:05,560

Speaker 1: around the NCAA Men's Tournament and the NCAA Women's Tournament,

150
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,679
Speaker 1: and I guess a lot of people are watching college basketball,

151
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 1: women's college basketball because the ratings are higher than they've

152
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:38,679
Speaker 1: ever been, which is great, and this entire thing. If

153
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:42,079
Speaker 1: you didn't watch it, and you're not a sportsperson, you

154
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:46,559
Speaker 1: may have heard there's a huge controversy that are merged

155
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:58,199
Speaker 1: from the women's championship game. LSU beat Iowa. LSU is.

156
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:04,319
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's an all black college basketball team.

157
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 1: I don't know if there's all black girls on the team,

158
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: and I'm not sure if IOWA is all white. But

159
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:16,959
Speaker 1: LSU is definitely predominantly all black girls, and IOWA is

160
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 1: definitely predominantly white girls. And they played in a game,

161
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 1: and both teams have a star. This girl, Angel Reese

162
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 1: is the star of LSU, amongst a few other standouts.

163
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: And this white chick, Angel Reese, a black chick on LSU.

164
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: I should say black girl because these are twenty twenty

165
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: one year old girls. So I'm gonna say girls, woman,

166
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 1: young woman, just to be respectful because they are younger,

167
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: and I am fifty three. I wouldn't want some fifty

168
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 1: three year old podcaster referring to my twenty year old

169
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 1: daughter as a chick. Anyway. So Angel Reese black girl

170
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 1: on LSU, and the star of iowa's a girl named

171
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: Caitlyn Clark. Both of them gotten a lot of attention

172
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,679
Speaker 1: the last few weeks for leading their teams. Both got

173
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 1: great personalities. They refer to Caitlyn Clark as the Steph

174
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: Curry of women's basketball. She shoots from all over the place,

175
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:34,959
Speaker 1: Caitlyn Clark, and I'm sorry, And Angel Reese has a

176
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 1: great story as well. She you know, went to one school,

177
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:44,719
Speaker 1: transferred to another school, wasn't really getting it going, went

178
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: to LSU, and a year later she leads her team

179
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: to a national championship. Caitlyn Clark likes to talk shit.

180
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: She taunts, I don't even call it. She plays the game,

181
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 1: she talks shit. She has fun. There was a moment

182
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 1: towards the end of the game where LSU's Angel Reese,

183
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 1: the black girl in case you don't know anything about

184
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,959
Speaker 1: these people, did a gesture like the John Cena you

185
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 1: can't see me and put the you know, the ring

186
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: finger up to her like yo, we got this ring

187
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 1: da da da da. This has become a national incident

188
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 1: because race is always at play. It's LSU prominently black team,

189
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: maybe all black team, IOWA all white team, and the

190
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 1: ship bag from Big Nose founder of the guy who

191
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 1: I think I have an inclination. He seems like he's

192
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 1: the type of person who bleach his asshole. He sent

193
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:54,959
Speaker 1: out a tweet calling twenty year old Angel Reese a

194
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: classless piece of shit. That's what he said. He called

195
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 1: her a classless piece of shit for doing this gesture.

196
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 1: Why this guy has a voice in sports is beyond me.

197
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:08,719
Speaker 1: I'm not here to try to figure it out. I'm

198
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: not here to try to decipher. But it was a

199
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 1: dog whistle once again by this asshole, bleaching bitch, asshole,

200
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 1: the founder of and this tweet caused the entire uproar,

201
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: superseding the game, superseding the accomplishments by both the LSU

202
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 1: team and the IOWA team. And I woke up at

203
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 1: five this morning and got in the car to work.

204
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 1: Fortunately I was being driven because it was an hour

205
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 1: out to Long Beach, Long Island, my new favorite place

206
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: in New York. And ESPN was going on and on

207
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: and on and on about this my man Jay Williams,

208
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 1: Max Kellerman and then we're just go going on and

209
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 1: on and on for an hour an hour straight, and

210
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 1: they kept saying, it's so sad that we have to

211
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: talk about this, but we have to talk about this

212
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 1: because Andrei's made a common afterwards talking about it, saying

213
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: that you know, we've been called this, We've been called that.

214
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 1: I've been called ghetto. I've been called all these things.

215
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 1: And when the other players do it, they're not insinuating

216
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 1: to Caitlin Clark, who does taunt talk shit. I don't

217
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: call it taunting. It's part of sports. It's part of

218
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 1: the theatrics of sports. And now when women do it,

219
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 1: when a black girl does it and a white girl

220
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 1: does it, it turns into a whole other race thing.

221
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 1: Listen to. Bottom line is this. As far as I'm concerned,

222
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 1: this happening, this potential rivalry that they'll hopefully take on

223
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 1: it to the w NBA is the best thing for

224
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 1: women's basketball that has ever happened. To me. This reminds

225
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: me of Larry Bird versus Magic Johnson in nineteen seventy

226
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: nine in the championship game. You got the white guy,

227
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 1: the kick from French Lick, you got Irving Magic Johnson,

228
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 1: and we all know the rest. We all know everything

229
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 1: that was spawned from that game. Hopefully this will spawn

230
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 1: some kind of magic between these two players and bring

231
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 1: more attention to women's basketball, whether it be at the

232
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 1: college level or WNBA. I've talked about women's basketball. I've

233
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 1: talked about my feelings about women's basketball. But at the

234
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 1: end of the day, these are incredible athletes. We're world

235
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 1: class athletes, and the ratings have been great. People are

236
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 1: discussing it, but it's sad that people are discussing it

237
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 1: so vietme lead today because of the race issue and

238
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: the race issue which was brought to attention by that

239
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 1: ship back from But it just goes to show that

240
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 1: race is always an issue. Race will always continue to

241
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 1: be an issue. And the only people that were offended

242
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 1: by angels doing the John scene a thing and holding

243
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,159
Speaker 1: up a ring, the only people that were offended by

244
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,200
Speaker 1: it were white people. Because some white people are not

245
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:27,679
Speaker 1: comfortable with black people doing stuff like that. It's just basic.

246
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 1: And not only they're not comfortable with it, they're offended

247
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,680
Speaker 1: by it. Fuck, they're not comfortable. They're offended by it

248
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 1: because they're racist. Piece of shit. It just is what

249
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,119
Speaker 1: it is. Motherfuckers don't like black people. They don't like

250
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 1: what you'd call cocky black people. They don't like black

251
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,920
Speaker 1: people talking shit, especially to a white girl. You don't

252
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 1: want to see no black girl talking shit to a

253
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 1: white girl. And that's exactly what happened, and it turned

254
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 1: into a national incident. And it's a fuck. I mean,

255
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 1: it's part for the course. It happens all the time.

256
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 1: It happens all the time. You got some fucking guy

257
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 1: who I believe bleaches and waxes his asshole sending out

258
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 1: dog whistles, inciting a national conversation. And it ain't the

259
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 1: first time this guy has sent out dog whistles in

260
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 1: regards to sports and race, and it ain't gonna be

261
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:27,200
Speaker 1: the last time. But it was. It was an exciting game.

262
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 1: I got to watch a lot of it. I certainly

263
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 1: watched the highlights and certainly have followed it. And like

264
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 1: I said, as primitive as I've thought women's basketball is,

265
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 1: the game has evolved and it's gotten a lot better,

266
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 1: and it's certainly gotten a lot more entertaining, and the

267
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 1: players have evolved and they've gotten a lot better. And

268
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:51,200
Speaker 1: good for them, and good for the LSU girls, and

269
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:55,880
Speaker 1: good for the Iowa girls, and good for anybody who

270
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:57,920
Speaker 1: is a fan of college sports. And good for the

271
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 1: young girls to have role model and have h you know,

272
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 1: exciting young players to look up for in women's basketball. Yeah,

273
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 1: like I said, was the night before pig Dick's arrest

274
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 1: and all through the house. And obviously I'm gonna probably,

275
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:39,200
Speaker 1: if not go live on the Iron Rapport stereo podcast.

276
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 1: It will probably or possibly be an emergency. If not

277
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 1: an urgency, I am Rappaport Stereo podcast, but I wanted

278
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 1: to wait because the anticipation is just driving me crazy.

279
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 1: When I see that fat fuck pig dick Donald Trump

280
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,239
Speaker 1: arrested in my city, I just want to say one thing.

281
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 1: He's being arrested in Manhattan. I am born and raised

282
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 1: in Manhattan, New York City, New York, and I don't think, well,

283
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 1: there's been plenty of other things that have been so proud,

284
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 1: obviously nine to eleven to be a New Yorker and

285
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 1: to see the toughness, the grit, the fight back of

286
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 1: New Yorkers. So I don't want to say this is

287
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 1: the most proud that I've been in my life to

288
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 1: be a New Yorker. I wouldn't even say that, but

289
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:38,440
Speaker 1: it's one of the most proud moments, and specifically that

290
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:43,120
Speaker 1: it's happening in Manhattan. Anyway, I digress because the anticipation

291
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 1: for the NBA playoffs is also coming. I am so

292
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: pumped up for these NBA playoffs. I'm so excited about

293
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 1: the state of the NBA because the NBA has never

294
00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:00,640
Speaker 1: been more up for grabs than it is right now.

295
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 1: And before I dive into the teams that are fighting

296
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 1: for the trophy. We gotta give shout out to the

297
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:12,879
Speaker 1: teams and the players who we've enjoyed watching all season.

298
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 1: When I say we, I mean me and the Dust

299
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:23,440
Speaker 1: brothers Miles, Miles, Davis and Jordan went to respectfully. Don't

300
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 1: just watch the highlights, watch the games. Starting from the

301
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 1: bottom up. All of these teams we can see in

302
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,159
Speaker 1: the playoffs in the next two to five years if

303
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 1: they keep building around the right players with the right coaching.

304
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 1: This ain't NBA two k all right. The stars of

305
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 1: today get more and more miles on them every season,

306
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 1: So we need those young guns, those young legs, those

307
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 1: young fresh faces like Jade and Ivy of the Detroit Pistons,

308
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:59,919
Speaker 1: right rookie in the right city one to build around.

309
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:04,919
Speaker 1: Owned the Rockets who suck, but they got young Jabari Smith,

310
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 1: he keeps getting better and better. And then the Turk

311
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 1: seen Gun and Jalen Greene who got fantastic. Here by

312
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 1: the way, san Antonio spurs shot out to Popovich, sticking

313
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 1: with the program, loving the coach to youth. He is

314
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 1: one great player to build around that Keldon Johnson. You

315
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 1: know Pop ain't going nowhere. Somehow, someway, Popovich will be

316
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 1: back in the mix at some point, some how, Charlotte

317
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:37,360
Speaker 1: hornets my guy, LaMelo Ball, and I say my guy genuinely.

318
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:43,920
Speaker 1: I like watching LaMelo Ball play injury prone season, that

319
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 1: whole team which just decimated. But I love Scary Terry.

320
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 1: But once Miles Bridges missed the entire season, they were cooked.

321
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,120
Speaker 1: And now Michael Jordan wants to sell the fucking team.

322
00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 1: Sell the team, mj sell the fucking team, which is

323
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 1: what Dick Stain James Dolan should do. Anyway, the Trailblazers,

324
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 1: Dame Dollar, listen, if he wants to stay in Portland,

325
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 1: they need to figure it out. Otherwise, Dame, you deserve

326
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:19,159
Speaker 1: to get the fuck out of there. Nurkic ain't the answer.

327
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:24,959
Speaker 1: Dame deserves better. The Pacers. Haliburton is even better than

328
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 1: we all thought, but like any other young star, he

329
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:32,680
Speaker 1: needs some strength, he needs some players around him. But

330
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:36,359
Speaker 1: that kid Benedict Matherin, he's got potential and at one

331
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 1: point I think he could also be an All Star.

332
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 1: I mean, all around, the NBA is in good shape

333
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 1: and these are just the shit teams. Orlando Franz Wagner,

334
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 1: he's a legitimate star. Listen, I think that fucking Ben

335
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:55,399
Speaker 1: Simmons needs to go to the Marquelle full summer program

336
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 1: because the way he has been able to resurrect his

337
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 1: game has been amazing. We all all Thorpe Mark count

338
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 1: Fols caught the same kind of I don't know what

339
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:09,120
Speaker 1: kind of virus they're giving out in Philly, but Mark

340
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 1: count Folts has bounced back. Ben Simmons. Check on your man,

341
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 1: because you look, yo, Ben Simmons might be out of

342
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:21,399
Speaker 1: the NBA next year. The Washington Bullets, we'll see if

343
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:24,640
Speaker 1: they could hold on to Kyle Kuzma. Well, I love

344
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 1: kuz Kuzmania. They got some pieces porzingis bal and you

345
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,440
Speaker 1: know they're not a bad team either. They did good

346
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 1: with that Westbrook trade, but they're still in a lottery

347
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 1: this summer. And then the Utah Jazz exceeded all expectations,

348
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 1: especially in the first half of the season. Laurie Marken

349
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 1: in beautiful, beautiful, blonde headed curly here he's the real deal.

350
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 1: Walker Kessler was the steel of the draft. They got

351
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,399
Speaker 1: a bunch of draft picks, and the Utah Jazz is

352
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:02,640
Speaker 1: in good shape to build a good program. The fact

353
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 1: of the matter is, once again the NBA is and

354
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 1: always will be amazing. They got some good young kids

355
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 1: coming into the draft. They got that Victor Webbanamanamonami, seven

356
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:20,359
Speaker 1: foot nine inches. He's French. He speaks French and he

357
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 1: speaks English. Can you imagine being seven foot seven inches

358
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 1: being able to speak French and English? Just right there,

359
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 1: you're an alien. And he could dribble and he could shoot.

360
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a fun draft. But we ain't there yet.

361
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 1: We haven't even started the playoffs. Playoffs. Fuck yeah, I'm

362
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 1: talking about the playoffs now. Like I said, the play

363
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 1: in starts in just a couple of days, all right,

364
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 1: three teams with three games left, duke in it out.

365
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 1: The Timberwolves are in ninth. They are the ninth seed

366
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:02,119
Speaker 1: after losing the other day to Port at home in

367
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 1: the biggest against the spread upset in the decade, in

368
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 1: a fucking decade. You blew it, You Fox, you blew it.

369
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 1: And in the ten seed. And this is in the

370
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 1: Western Conference. The Oklahoma City Thunder, somehow, some way is

371
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:24,119
Speaker 1: the ten seed, and ninety five percent of their roster

372
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 1: has been in the NBA for three years or less.

373
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 1: Three years or less. Some of these guys, I haven't

374
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 1: even finished puberty. All right, it's a true Cinderella story

375
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:39,160
Speaker 1: led by Sga Giddy also got a fantastic head of hair.

376
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:42,479
Speaker 1: But they lost to the Sons the other day. Who.

377
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 1: By the way, I heard some stat about Kevin Durant.

378
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant in his last twenty games is eighteen and two.

379
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 1: Going back to when he played with the Nets. He's

380
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 1: won eighteen out of his last twenty games that he's

381
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:03,639
Speaker 1: participated in, which is fucking insane for the big spitter

382
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 1: out there in Phoenix. The biggest shocker in the West

383
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,719
Speaker 1: Coast is that the Dallas Mavericks, as of the recording

384
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 1: of the Scion Rappaport Snario podcast, are on the outside

385
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:20,880
Speaker 1: looking in. Okay. I don't know why they made this trade.

386
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 1: I don't know what they thought would happen by acquiring

387
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 1: Kuki Kyrie Irving. You know, I saw some TikTok top

388
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 1: fifteen Kyrie plays of his career. Incredible jaw dropping video

389
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:46,439
Speaker 1: game shit, but he does not affect winning. Ridiculous talent,

390
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:52,119
Speaker 1: I mean, mesmerizing shit, but he does not affect a

391
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 1: team winning. They're in deep, deep, deep shit. Like I said,

392
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 1: three games left. All three teams lost on Sunday the Wolves.

393
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:09,639
Speaker 1: The Timberwolves are in pole position no Bruno. The Thunder

394
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,879
Speaker 1: are one game back, and as of the recording of

395
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 1: this Iron Rapports Stereo podcast, the Mavericks are two games back.

396
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 1: The Wolves are playing at Brooklyn, at San Antonio, and

397
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 1: at home against the Pelicans, who may or may not

398
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 1: rest guys based on their seating. They're also in deep

399
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 1: shit if Zion doesn't come back. The Thunder play at

400
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:36,120
Speaker 1: Golden State, who's in trouble. Golden State needs to get

401
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 1: it together, shit or get off the pot. They play

402
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 1: at Golden State, at Utah, and at home against the

403
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 1: Memphis Grizzlies, who may or may not rest guys based

404
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 1: upon their seating, and the Mavericks play all three games

405
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 1: at home versus Sacramento, Chicago and the San Antonio Spurs.

406
00:28:56,840 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 1: My prediction is that Dallas is done. They're done. Huka

407
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 1: Luca will miss the playoffs for the first time since

408
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 1: his rookie season. Kyrie Irving will not resigned to Dallas

409
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 1: in the offseason. Jason Kidd will be fired. Mark Cuban

410
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 1: will be sad, so sad, too bad. Bye bye, You

411
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 1: made your fucking bed. Now you gotta live in it.

412
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 1: I don't know who thought this was gonna work out.

413
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 1: I knew it wasn't gonna work out, and I know

414
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 1: nothing past. NBA is and always will be fantastic. Here

415
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 1: are my predictions for the seating in the NBA Playoffs

416
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 1: in the East. The one seed will be the Bucks.

417
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 1: The two seed will be the Celtics, The three seed

418
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 1: will be the seventy six Ers. The four seed will

419
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 1: plead the Cavaliers. The five seed is going to be

420
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 1: the New York Knicks. The sixth seed will be the

421
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 1: Brooklyn Nets. The playing tournament will be the seventh seed

422
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 1: Miami Heat, the A seed Toronto Raptors, the ninth seed

423
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 1: Atlanta Hawks, and the tenth seed Chicago Bulls. So I

424
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 1: have the Rappers and the Hawks flip flopping from what

425
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 1: it is now. We shall see, but that's my predictions.

426
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 1: You fuck you. Let's move to the West, where things

427
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 1: are really really unpredictable, where things are very, very interesting.

428
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 1: The one seed currently the Denver Nuggets. The two seed

429
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 1: John Morant and the Grizzlies. The three seed the Sacramento Kings.

430
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 1: Never thought you'd hear that come out of my mouth.

431
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 1: The fourth seed the Phoenix Suns led by the Big Spitter.

432
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 1: The fifth seed currently is the Golden State Warriors. The

433
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 1: sixth seed is the Clippers. I would have said the Lakers,

434
00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 1: but the Clippers have the tiebreaker. The seventh is the

435
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 1: New Orleans Pelicans, eighth seed is the Lakers. The ninth

436
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 1: seed is the Timberwolves. The ten seed is the Oklahoma

437
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 1: City Thunder, who, like I said, have six players who

438
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 1: have not even finished puberty yet. I think the Wolves

439
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 1: are going to beat the Thunder. The Lakers beat the Pelicans,

440
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 1: and less Zion magically comes back, but he's shown the

441
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 1: world that he's not one of these people who heals

442
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 1: and comes back quickly than the Wolves are going to

443
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 1: beat the Pelicans. The Lakers lock into the seventh seed

444
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 1: to face the Grizzlies. They're gonna get their asses kicked,

445
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 1: and the Timberwolves will lock into the eighth seed to

446
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 1: face the Nuggets. WHOA. Let me tell you something, this

447
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 1: playing tournament was a fantastic idea to keep things competitive

448
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 1: down the stretch. Now, obviously, once the playoff pictures locked,

449
00:31:56,960 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 1: I will do my exclusive I am Rapports Stereo podcast

450

Speaker 1: playoff predictions asap. But you heard it here first, the Raptors,

451
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 1: the Hawks, the Lakers, the Timberwolves are getting in to

452
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:22,719
Speaker 1: the playoffs, all right, mark my words, market down now

453
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 1: since everybody has asked and people are scaling the walls. No,

454
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 1: not that wall. I want to give out some I

Speaker 1: am Rapports Stereo Podcasts End of the Year awards. I

00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 1: improved player in the NBA is the point guard of

460
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 1: the New York Knicks, Jalen Brunson. What a fucking score,

461
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:57,920

462
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 1: even though he sucked. I love his dad. Rick Brunson.

463
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 1: A real point guard in New York City is always

464
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:09,040

465
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 1: Pablo Banchero. He was the best all season. Even though

466
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:18,960

467
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:21,440
