Speaker 1: Jack NBA All Star Weekend in Cleveland just concluded. We're
Speaker 1: gonna review the weekend. Uh. First, we're gonna start with
Speaker 1: the rising stars. A lot of young talent in this game. Man,
Speaker 1: Who are you most um excited about moving forward to watch?
Speaker 1: I mean, his confidence should be coming should be real
Speaker 1: high coming out. I know his confidence was high coming in.
Speaker 1: But Evan Mobley after after after the way the weekend
Speaker 1: went for him. I think he should come out ready
Speaker 1: to keep his team and play off contention, and and
Speaker 1: really finished the regular season off on a good note. Man,
Speaker 1: really skilled, Big. He definitely showed his skill in the
Speaker 1: skilled contest. UM like him. I really like Kay cutting him.
Speaker 1: You know, he got off to a late start. I
Speaker 1: don't know how many games he missed um to start
Speaker 1: the season off, but super skilled could do it all
Speaker 1: six seven. He's just playing in Detroit, but Big can
Speaker 1: of him. And then obviously the you know, the normal suspects.
Speaker 1: You know, I love LaMelo, Anthony Edwards, um, those guys.
Speaker 1: But again, man, a lot of young talent coming down
Speaker 1: the pipeline thoughts on a lackluster I'll put it to
Speaker 1: you that way. Slam dunk contest, That's what I thought
Speaker 1: about it. Air hot air hot waste the time, bro
Speaker 1: waste the time. I was disappointed. I really thought, you know,
Speaker 1: with Jalen Green and they had some boys in there
Speaker 1: coming to jump. Uh they could really jump. I just
Speaker 1: didn't really they were getting old man. Like the whole
Speaker 1: tim thing. It didn't really. I mean, that's some New
Speaker 1: York I can see if you were in New York
Speaker 1: with that ship that might have you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: that might have rapped I didn't really get that. Uh,
Speaker 1: Jaden Green's first time, his first dunke, he was trying
Speaker 1: to get down. He missed several times. He could have
Speaker 1: just kind of understood the process and made that his
Speaker 1: final dunk. Uh Obie Toppa wasn't really dunking hard. He
Speaker 1: was obviously the one to clean having to clean his
Speaker 1: dunk because he had that jumping over someone around the back.
Speaker 1: That ship is tough, but he wasn't really hammering them
Speaker 1: hose down. And then who was the other contestant? I
Speaker 1: forgot Golden State from God? Oh yeah, I want to
Speaker 1: scano and that's a little homie, but yeah it was. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was disappointing to say the least. But congrats uh
Speaker 1: to two way better dunks in the games than the
Speaker 1: dunk cons straight up. But congress to Obe Topam, you know,
Speaker 1: getting your first dunk contest. But yeah, whoever is in
Speaker 1: the next year, man, y'all gotta come with it because
Speaker 1: I kind of feel like Aaron Gordon and Zach Lavine
Speaker 1: put the bar so high, um that anything under that
Speaker 1: is not acceptable. Now, who was someone you would like
Speaker 1: to see in the dunk contest Jack before we go
Speaker 1: to our next zion Zion John Morant, Rush Westbrook. Guys
Speaker 1: like that, some of the stars, some of the big
Speaker 1: name guys. I think the reason why the slam dunk
Speaker 1: contests were so was it was was something that everybody
Speaker 1: had to see is because you had the best players
Speaker 1: in the league and they was they and they were
Speaker 1: doing angry dunks. They weren't going on they're trying to
Speaker 1: be pretty, you know, they were they they were they
Speaker 1: they were putting the passion into the dunk contests. And
Speaker 1: and it was the star players. It wasn't just guys,
Speaker 1: you know, the six seventh man on the team. So
Speaker 1: they gotta get back to that three point contest. Kat
Speaker 1: was talking going into the contest and he was gonna
Speaker 1: win it. He feels like he's one of the best
Speaker 1: big men shooters ever um and he went in and
Speaker 1: backed it up and set a record in the final
Speaker 1: round with twenty nine. So thought, so what uh, Kary
Speaker 1: Anthony Tails was able to do. The first big man
Speaker 1: to win US is Kevin Love in two thousand and twelve.
Speaker 1: We was texting and I called it. I told I
Speaker 1: told you Cat had it the set shot. I always
Speaker 1: feel like the people the said shot got the best
Speaker 1: chance of winning the three point contest because it's easy
Speaker 1: to get off, they don't jump as much, and he
Speaker 1: had the perfect shot and he's six eleven. So, like
Speaker 1: I said, I felt guys with the set shot that
Speaker 1: can't shoot, and he, like you said, he came in
Speaker 1: real confidence, saying he want to be uh in talks
Speaker 1: with the best big man shooter with Dirk and the
Speaker 1: rest of those guys. So winning the three point contest
Speaker 1: is a big step for him. Who's your This is
Speaker 1: putting you on the spot. Who's your top three big
Speaker 1: man shooters in the game, top three big man shooters
Speaker 1: in the game or ever in together? Ever? Okay, ever,
Speaker 1: I'm going Dirk the Whiskey. I'm going uh, Sam Perkins,
Speaker 1: oh yea, and I'm going and beat and big and
Speaker 1: he's got a weather super weather and he can play
Speaker 1: with that thing. It's Kevin Love considered a big Yeah,
Speaker 1: he he is, but like I just can't put him
Speaker 1: into man I put him. I was just asking up there, yeah. Uh.
Speaker 1: Steph Curry took over and ran the show, which I
Speaker 1: love because him and Draymond were still getting booed throughout
Speaker 1: the weekend, which really just shows you know you're doing
Speaker 1: your job. But he definitely shut them up. Although it
Speaker 1: was just an all star game fifty points jack sixteen threes,
Speaker 1: it was more important he was the first player to
Speaker 1: take the inaugural Kobe Bruant m v P Trophy. Um, home,
Speaker 1: what do you think about what he was doing out there?
Speaker 1: I just want to ask Cleveland something. How much did
Speaker 1: you pay Steph? The company? Our studio and dropped that
Speaker 1: hot six team? Man? He gave y'all six team? Are
Speaker 1: I'm talking my fire little Wayne for hitting the light
Speaker 1: before he wrapped bars man, yea better stop bowling that man,
Speaker 1: that's what you get on five, bro, I'm talking about
Speaker 1: I was. I enjoyed the game with just seeing him
Speaker 1: shoot like that. Bro. It was perfect seeing Braun hit
Speaker 1: the game when the shot all that was perfect man.
Speaker 1: But Steph came to play the first If I had
Speaker 1: to pick somebody to be the first one to received
Speaker 1: the Kobe Bryant Trophy, Dog, you know you can pick
Speaker 1: a better person. Yeah. No, he definitely went out and
Speaker 1: did his thing. And like I said, I mean credit
Speaker 1: to the fans because they probably lit the fire under him,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, And it's the reason why
Speaker 1: he went out and shot them sixteen three. So he
Speaker 1: put on a great show. I mean the way he
Speaker 1: was shooting, the distance, the confidence he had when he
Speaker 1: was just shooting that bitch and turning around and it
Speaker 1: was going in. It was just it was a perfect situation.
Speaker 1: And then it couldn't have been more perfect for braun
Speaker 1: to hit the tough one footed uh fall away with
Speaker 1: with with him be running at him and and zach
Speaker 1: Lavine on him. Um for game, same corner, same corner,
Speaker 1: m J hit over Sean, just different ways. It's a
Speaker 1: different way. The different shows that the different turn I
Speaker 1: was thinking the exact same thing when Brown and Noe Broun, smartass,
Speaker 1: he was probably thinking the same ship too. Sorry, hit
Speaker 1: the ship. I've been hit it from here too. But man,
Speaker 1: great shot with a with a perfect way to end
Speaker 1: UH the All Star Game in his hometown, which leads
Speaker 1: me to the next thing. Jack He's left the door
Speaker 1: open to possibly returning to Cleveland, and he's also said
Speaker 1: that his last year he wants to play with Braunnie.
Speaker 1: Let's let's break both those down first. The possibility of
Speaker 1: him right out in the sunset in Cleveland. What do
Speaker 1: you think about that? I think that's dope. I think
Speaker 1: all the teams that once since when he said that,
Speaker 1: all teams are paying attention to trying to get in
Speaker 1: position to draft Brawny so they can get a let
Speaker 1: taste of Braun. You know, and and and and and
Speaker 1: everything strategic and Braun know exactly what he's doing every
Speaker 1: going back to Cleveland, retiring Cleveland. That ain't big for
Speaker 1: just Braun. That's big for the city of Cleveland. That's
Speaker 1: big for the organization. So if they get a chance,
Speaker 1: if they get a chance to draft their son, that's crazy.
Speaker 1: And Braun coming back there, like, that's all that makes sense.
Speaker 1: All that's good for the organization. All that's good for
Speaker 1: the league. I mean, any basketball player man this world
Speaker 1: say they didn't wish they was in braun shoes be
Speaker 1: able to play what they signed, they're lying. So Braun,
Speaker 1: do it your way. I think that's just super dope.
Speaker 1: First and foremost, do it your way, bro. He can
Speaker 1: do whatever the funk he wants, uh, coming down to
Speaker 1: the end of his career. And like you said, strategic
Speaker 1: jab because you think about this Cleveland team is gonna
Speaker 1: be good for the next few years. So if Brawnie
Speaker 1: is able to make that jump, they're probably gonna be
Speaker 1: like a later first round, you know, team to be
Speaker 1: able to pick. So, like you said, it could all
Speaker 1: line up perfectly on the flip side, you know, being
Speaker 1: a father of kids that that play basketball, I can
Speaker 1: only imagine what it's like to have to be Lebron's son.
Speaker 1: So when you hear your dad's saying, like, Yo, my
Speaker 1: last year is gonna be with my son's first year,
Speaker 1: you know, my my son's you know, the first season
Speaker 1: in the league. How much pressures that put on Brownie.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of pressure. I mean, you know, we
Speaker 1: have pressure on our sons and we're not even close
Speaker 1: to being Lebron James. You know, our sons here. You know,
Speaker 1: even when I go to my son game sometimes you know,
Speaker 1: it makes him feel uncomfortable. So I can imagine the
Speaker 1: pressure that's on Brownie. But at the end of the day, um,
Speaker 1: I know all these kids would rather have this pressure
Speaker 1: and be our children, you know what I'm saying, and
Speaker 1: have their lives and and and the conference and the
Speaker 1: access to the different things. They'd rather have that than
Speaker 1: not have it. Yeah, No, definitely, I think Brownie is
Speaker 1: built for it. You know, he's been able to watch
Speaker 1: the first hand his whole entire life how it pops moved.
Speaker 1: So anyway, great cap, great weekend. Overall again, Duck contest
Speaker 1: needs to work. What do you think about the skills
Speaker 1: Challenge Jack with joannice Is and his brothers, the Calf's
Speaker 1: Young Squad and then the uh the rookies. Did you
Speaker 1: like that format or would you like to go back
Speaker 1: to individual guys doing their own things. I think I
Speaker 1: need to go back doing their own thing, individual players
Speaker 1: on their individual skills and talent, you know, I like,
Speaker 1: I like the twist. I think I not see what
Speaker 1: they're trying to do is with adding all the um
Speaker 1: the brothers, uh think brothers and try to you know,
Speaker 1: make a little brother family thing. Until a part of it.
Speaker 1: I get it, but it's you gotta remember as fans
Speaker 1: watching his real basketball fans watching people flying in uh
Speaker 1: to to these games, so I think they really want
Speaker 1: to see that the talented players rise to the top,
Speaker 1: and uh, I think the skill players, the guys supposed
Speaker 1: to be the best in past and then dribbling all
Speaker 1: that they need to be in this contest going against
Speaker 1: each other. Agreed, I'd like to switch up just like
Speaker 1: you said, you know, something little different though, Wrinkulator. But
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, you want to see
Speaker 1: the best UH in the world doing what they do,
Speaker 1: you know, for for the Faiths. So overall, Cleveland All
Speaker 1: Star Solid Jack, they had the seventy team. So m J.
Speaker 1: It was crazy. All the MJ moments UH that he
Speaker 1: had with individual players I think made you know, obviously
Speaker 1: that was that super dope you saw pit wasn't there,
Speaker 1: um shock being shocked? What did you think about the
Speaker 1: just kind of how they broke down that seventy five
Speaker 1: anniversary team. It's all judged by a lot of people
Speaker 1: that have an input on that that didn't play the game,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I just don't think you
Speaker 1: can have a seventy five without Dwight Howard went without Kyrie,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And that's just I just
Speaker 1: can't see it. So even and you know, Tim Duncan
Speaker 1: wasn't there either, But even even you know, guys like
Speaker 1: Rashid Wiless, you know, it's some guys, some of those
Speaker 1: older guys they named in the top fifteen twenty man uh, man,
Speaker 1: that these those guys would have got punished by some
Speaker 1: of these guys, Vince Card and all these guys. So
Speaker 1: I mean that's why I said, I don't really pay
Speaker 1: attention to it. I think as players, we look at
Speaker 1: it different. You know, it's it's a lot of guys
Speaker 1: that we know. It's shootings, M J. Brown and all
Speaker 1: those guys. Coben are shock. We know all those guys
Speaker 1: be long enough, but it's a lot of guys that
Speaker 1: came up, that came along in this league, and we
Speaker 1: look at it different. And uh, but at the good
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, you said, it's good
Speaker 1: to see all those guys, a lot of those older
Speaker 1: guys still living, being able to enjoy that moment the
Speaker 1: top seventy five. You know, the moments with Jordan embracing everybody.
Speaker 1: I knew Jordan and Magic had that kind of relationship,
Speaker 1: so that wasn't surprised to me. But to see I
Speaker 1: think the biggest moment to see him and brombrace each other. Uh,
Speaker 1: I think that was the best moment to me. That
Speaker 1: was dope. And you know when I say what I
Speaker 1: say with all due respect, um and I agree with
Speaker 1: you said I'd like to really know who picks his team.
Speaker 1: But second, there's a lot of older players, And I said,
Speaker 1: I say, there is all the respect because you want
Speaker 1: to respect the people that paved the way, But I
Speaker 1: think paving the way is different than actually being one
Speaker 1: of the best seventy five ever. Do it like you
Speaker 1: got to pay respect to the guys that kind of
Speaker 1: started this gangster ship, you know, all along the way.
Speaker 1: But I'm looking at some of these players and I'm
Speaker 1: just like you said, they couldn't survive in the heyday,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm talking about like the back back of
Speaker 1: the day players. I think, um, there's there there's guys
Speaker 1: that obviously you need to recognize for you know, for
Speaker 1: paving the way a but like you said in in
Speaker 1: in the late eighties, nineties, two thousand's up until, I
Speaker 1: don't think they would have been able to do it
Speaker 1: much of anything in this game because the way it's changed.
Speaker 1: But again, you want to respect that the people came
Speaker 1: for you. But I don't let's keep it a bubble.
Speaker 1: Let's keep it a buck man. Half the motherfucker's couldn't
Speaker 1: jip with both hands. I mean, if you really want
Speaker 1: to keep it a buck. Let's keep it a buck
Speaker 1: if you really want to keep it a buck. So,
Speaker 1: like I said, let's keep you. You want to respect
Speaker 1: the people that that paved the way. But I think
Speaker 1: it's separate from being the actual seventy greatest to ever
Speaker 1: touch a basketball. Next up on the Radar, presented you
Speaker 1: by Draft Kings, major hit for our brother Chris Paul
Speaker 1: uh fractured thumb can be out six to eight weeks
Speaker 1: I think the season. There's only seven weeks left in
Speaker 1: the season, so most likely gone um until the playoffs.
Speaker 1: Let's break this down then we'll break down the odds
Speaker 1: on who's still favorite. Thoughts about this bad news for
Speaker 1: Phoenix D I hate it. I hate it. You know,
Speaker 1: we cps our brother and any time when my buzz
Speaker 1: were down, it sucks man, especially the way he's leading
Speaker 1: this team, the success he's had last year and carrying
Speaker 1: over this year. You know, having a success last year
Speaker 1: it could have been a little shock to him. But
Speaker 1: now they know they wanted the best teams in the league,
Speaker 1: and they know that they could be the best team
Speaker 1: in league, and they've been playing like it. I just
Speaker 1: hate to see them have this setback with with with
Speaker 1: CP being out. But at the same time, this is
Speaker 1: a chance to test Money Williams and the chance to
Speaker 1: test the young guys on the team. It's also a
Speaker 1: chace to test Devin Booker so he can separate himself
Speaker 1: for a lot of guys. So you gotta try to
Speaker 1: see the positive eude of it. But praying for my
Speaker 1: bro CP get back soon. Bo Yeah, fucked up situations
Speaker 1: for CP. What scares me is he's he's he's had
Speaker 1: these hand injuries before, particularly on this same thumb, and
Speaker 1: it's on his shooting hand, his maid his dominant passing hand.
Speaker 1: So I just hope he can come back healthy. I
Speaker 1: think a few positives. One for him personally, he's just
Speaker 1: gonna get to rest his legs and his his age.
Speaker 1: I think that's great, Um, But to this team has
Speaker 1: built such a cushion. I think they're forty eight and ten.
Speaker 1: They have twenty four games left, correct me if I'm wrong.
Speaker 1: All they gotta do is go five hundred to get
Speaker 1: sixty wins. You know what I mean? Which is which?
Speaker 1: Which is isn't reasonable? You know this is a very
Speaker 1: talented team, um. Although I feel like to make any
Speaker 1: real noise in the playoffs, obviously they're gonna need CP,
Speaker 1: but to stay afloat during the season. I don't think
Speaker 1: it's gonna be as hard as people may think it
Speaker 1: is is going to be, because again, all they need
Speaker 1: to do is go five hundred, and that's gonna be
Speaker 1: a sixty fucking sixty wins season. That's a great season regardless.
Speaker 1: So they've given themselves a little cushion. Uh. I just
Speaker 1: hope that CP is gonna be able to come back
Speaker 1: and be full strength because they won't make any noise
Speaker 1: in the playoffs without CP sixty wins to get you
Speaker 1: home home court through the playoffs. Odds to win the
Speaker 1: Western Conference by Draft King because they still have the
Speaker 1: Sons at the favorite at plus one eighty, followed by
Speaker 1: Golden State at plus one five Utah and third plus
Speaker 1: six fifty, and the Grizzlies to round out the top
Speaker 1: four at plus the eleven hundred jack out of out
Speaker 1: of those four teams, is it anyone but the Sons
Speaker 1: and Lakers. Do you see the Jazz or the Grizzlies
Speaker 1: sneaking out of the Western Conference? I see the Warriors.
Speaker 1: I see the Warriors. The Warriors. I agree with the
Speaker 1: healthy CP and the healthy Warriors team. Who do you have?
Speaker 1: Who would you have coming out the West? I know
Speaker 1: you picked the Lakers. I know you picked the Lakers,
Speaker 1: but I don't know if they're really gonna be able
Speaker 1: to do with we're hoping they can do. You picked
Speaker 1: the Warriors. Come out of the West. A D S O.
Speaker 1: A D S out for the season is my pick.
Speaker 1: Definitely changes eight is out. I think they said six weeks,
Speaker 1: which will put him right again at the beginning of
Speaker 1: the playoffs, or maybe a week or two before. But
Speaker 1: that looks like a bad acle spring. But you know, okay,
Speaker 1: just say back in six weeks. It's gonna take him
Speaker 1: nine weeks to trust it completely. You don't have that
Speaker 1: time in the playoffs. Yeah boy, ankles, Yeah, ankles are tough, man.
Speaker 1: I'm going to Warriors are wars healthy, healthy Warriors, healthy signs.
Speaker 1: I think the Warriors are back. Uh. The young guys
Speaker 1: a blossom and Draymond is getting his rest. He's gonna
Speaker 1: be ready. Clay is bawling, step is Steph Man, Let's go.
Speaker 1: Clay is getting his rest. Draymond is gonna be a
Speaker 1: demon coming back because he'll be gone when he finally
Speaker 1: comes back. He'll be gone and maybe wasn't. It was
Speaker 1: two months, eight weeks, so he's well arrested. Welcome to
Speaker 1: my side because you you were, you were going against
Speaker 1: the grade for a while. But we all we you know,
Speaker 1: we we welcome people at any stage. Yeah, the Lakers hurt,
Speaker 1: I feel you. I mean if the Lakers are healthy,
Speaker 1: but welcome. Cry, here we go, Thank you. Next up
Speaker 1: one of our favorite segments, fan questions. We get to
Speaker 1: get a little back and forth with our fans. Um
Speaker 1: it's Shack ninety two, Matt and Stack. If you had
Speaker 1: a time machine, which All Star game are you going
Speaker 1: back to in time to see? Also? What strand are
Speaker 1: you smoking on? I love you guys, Love you guys.
Speaker 1: A ship is that? Australia British shoutout to UK my
Speaker 1: badest little time machine going back to an All Star game? Me,
Speaker 1: I would go back to two thousand one when I
Speaker 1: played in the Rookie Game and I watched step on
Speaker 1: my very events call to trace me Grady, and I
Speaker 1: forgot who they big was. They brought the East back
Speaker 1: from being down twenty in d C. And it was
Speaker 1: just it was a great environment. It was just a
Speaker 1: great experience. To see step the two little guys take
Speaker 1: over the whole All Star Game, and uh, I would
Speaker 1: go back to two one to watch that one. Who
Speaker 1: was at that dunk contest? My ba? I at me
Speaker 1: to cut you off. I finished. I don't remember who
Speaker 1: was in that dunk contest. Man, don't make me lie,
Speaker 1: don't make me lie. It was my rookie. It was
Speaker 1: my It was my rookie. I played in the Rookie
Speaker 1: All Star Game that year. But what you're smoking on
Speaker 1: what I'm smoking? Uh ninety six vowel a at the
Speaker 1: Abson Strand, Shout out the legend, shout out Viola All
Speaker 1: All Star Game, time machine. I would go back. I
Speaker 1: don't know what exact year, but I would go back
Speaker 1: to the eighties and watch Isaiah magic Bird, maybe a
Speaker 1: young Jordan's. I don't want to go back and see
Speaker 1: one of those All Star weekends. And I'm smoking on
Speaker 1: seven leaves blue slush, black slush right now? Nice. The
Speaker 1: black slush is question. Malajah earl malajah do earl at Malajahl.
Speaker 1: Which teammate gave you the best advice off the court
Speaker 1: and which one gave you the best on court advice?
Speaker 1: On the court advice Chris Webber. Remember early in my career, Uh,
Speaker 1: I started off playing my first year with the Clips.
Speaker 1: I wanted to go home and play with Webb, went
Speaker 1: with Webb and got traded to Philly and didn't really
Speaker 1: get a chance to play. And he was, you know,
Speaker 1: just believe have you know, continued for me to believe
Speaker 1: in myself and and and you know the key grind
Speaker 1: to keep working and when your shot comes, take it.
Speaker 1: And uh, that's what happened off the court advice man,
Speaker 1: That's that's a hard to to really narrow it down
Speaker 1: because I feel like, you know, obviously our relationship is
Speaker 1: strong and we're always giving each other a vice. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, you don't have again someone like Chris Webber
Speaker 1: who's you know, older than us, and him being able
Speaker 1: to give me advice. You know, I've had a few
Speaker 1: teammates brothers um along this journey that it really kind
Speaker 1: of helped me on end off the court. What about
Speaker 1: you on the court advice? I would say Mike Brown,
Speaker 1: Uh told me so, he told me after coming in
Speaker 1: and he's like, you play defense. You have a long career,
Speaker 1: don't worry about playing bad offense. You got that down
Speaker 1: you play defense. You have a long career. That was
Speaker 1: the best on court advice I've gotten, and I end
Speaker 1: up having a long career off the court. I told
Speaker 1: you to start using condoms. You didn't really listen though, Nah,
Speaker 1: I didn't. But I would have to say my media circle,
Speaker 1: you have jail like I get. I get great info
Speaker 1: and get great advice about life and different things in life.
Speaker 1: Because between all of us, you know, Marquees, Dame is
Speaker 1: b d we are, We've all been through coming together,
Speaker 1: We've all been through everything. So I rely on my
Speaker 1: brothers for great advice. Unuun heritage, that's not it. You
Speaker 1: gotta get it easier. Name. Do you think we'll ever
Speaker 1: get an NBA w NBA collapse for All Star Weekend?
Speaker 1: We think guys versus girls and the three point contest
Speaker 1: that would be dope. Thoughts on that, Jack, I think
Speaker 1: that's another good question. We'll see. It's I'm not saying
Speaker 1: the women couldn't do it, but just the women couldn't
Speaker 1: do it. No, I'm I'm not I'm not saying it
Speaker 1: can't do it. I just I just don't want to
Speaker 1: have to deal with the aspect of you go three
Speaker 1: years just say, for example, you go three years and
Speaker 1: men win, then it's gonna stop coming out were women
Speaker 1: are not getting chance to get the exact ladies. It's
Speaker 1: not fair, you know, men. So I just think, you know,
Speaker 1: we have a w NBA for a reason, right, and
Speaker 1: we have an NBA for a reason. I don't think
Speaker 1: we just we don't need to, you know, we need
Speaker 1: to support each other, each one of the leagues the same.
Speaker 1: But as far as the All Star weekends, let the
Speaker 1: women have their time, Let let the start, let the
Speaker 1: women starts shine and they're all right. I don't think
Speaker 1: you need to mix. I would like to see it.
Speaker 1: To be honest with you, I would like to see. Uh.
Speaker 1: To me, the only ones that can I would want
Speaker 1: to see is the three point shooting contests and the
Speaker 1: skills challenge. Um, obviously the dunk contest. There's probably no bullshit.
Speaker 1: There's probably a girl in the w NBA that could
Speaker 1: have won the duck contest this past weekend. Facts outside
Speaker 1: of the game, I would I would keep that separate.
Speaker 1: But I would like to see a three point shooting
Speaker 1: contest and in the skills challenging contest because I think,
Speaker 1: you know, women have to be skilled because they don't
Speaker 1: necessarily have the athleticism uh than men have. So you know,
Speaker 1: most of the time these women are more skilled um
Speaker 1: than the men. So shooting in the in the skills
Speaker 1: challenge I think would be an interesting uh ad just
Speaker 1: you know, not not to make it be week every year,
Speaker 1: but to throw it in there, I think would be dope.
Speaker 1: What ball are you shooting with? No, the women shoot
Speaker 1: with theirs. The men shoot with theirs. They don't have
Speaker 1: to be nothing like that, like do what you're comfortable with.
Speaker 1: They shoot from their three point line. We shoot from
Speaker 1: our ship. Don't change nothing up. Just let them battle
Speaker 1: against us. Yeah, I think that'd be hard at Royan Smith. P.
Speaker 1: What are your chances a D stays with the Lakers
Speaker 1: after this season? Man? You know you normally don't want
Speaker 1: to feel bad for someone who's making more money, though
Speaker 1: you can imagine, but I feel bad for a D man,
Speaker 1: you know, like he just can't you know, they call
Speaker 1: him Mr Glass. You know, in some some injuries or
Speaker 1: some injuries you can't avoid you, I mean, like the
Speaker 1: hyper extends from and falling the n you can't help
Speaker 1: that you land in someone's foot and that should looked
Speaker 1: like his ankle bone went to the ground. You know,
Speaker 1: you think, in a perfect world, the healthy day a
Speaker 1: D and Lebron possibly should or would have got more
Speaker 1: than one championship. But the way this team is constructed,
Speaker 1: the really only eyeable trade asset right now on this
Speaker 1: team is Anthony Davis. So you know, do they right
Speaker 1: it to the wheels fall off knowing that Lebron is
Speaker 1: not even certain to stay, or do they take this
Speaker 1: one championship and look more towards the future because I thought,
Speaker 1: I'm not mistaking Bron's up and what was his contract?
Speaker 1: They're up in twenty four. It's a tough situation because
Speaker 1: now you also see I mean we were kind of
Speaker 1: going outside the ReBs of the question, but you see
Speaker 1: that you know, Clutch sports is upset with the Lakers
Speaker 1: for not making moves, But then you don't know who
Speaker 1: who who made the moves to begin with. Was it
Speaker 1: was it Polinka in management or was it Braun and
Speaker 1: his influence uh to to construct the team the way
Speaker 1: it was. So I don't know us a mess over there, man.
Speaker 1: But to answer the question, I feel bad for a
Speaker 1: D and will he be here after this season? I
Speaker 1: have no idea. Uh, it's hard to tell. It's hard
Speaker 1: to tell right now. Like like you said, Braun sucked
Speaker 1: all that up when he dropped that statement. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying today, they have no since security and
Speaker 1: if they want anything sense of security, they're gonna have
Speaker 1: to keep a d even with him being injured a lot.
Speaker 1: I think one thing is you should never have a
Speaker 1: seven foot guy, any guy that's playing the fourth spot
Speaker 1: that's six and leven and up on any team wearing
Speaker 1: Kobe shoes. I think all the big guys should wear
Speaker 1: three quarters. They shouldn't be wearing guard shoes because they're
Speaker 1: up in the air too much. Is that the blocking
Speaker 1: shots they rebounded and they're coming down to people's shoes
Speaker 1: and coming down too much like that, So you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. That's just my opinion. I'm a I
Speaker 1: couldn't jump and I WoT three quarters and I didn't
Speaker 1: sprain my ankles that much. But being a guy guy
Speaker 1: like after the days, who play a butt the rim
Speaker 1: every play, when when Kobe's a point guard shoes, I
Speaker 1: think you should try to well, you know, some three
Speaker 1: quarters or something. But I know Kobe, she was comfortable.
Speaker 1: I played them some time now too. But as a
Speaker 1: as a as a big man, it's kind of I
Speaker 1: just think that I don't think they should. That's a
Speaker 1: great point. I didn't even think about that, Uh, wearing
Speaker 1: those small like I could. I was scared to death
Speaker 1: to where she was like that, to to wear a
Speaker 1: low time and I tore my meniscus one time and
Speaker 1: had a horrible sprained ankle on the same play, um
Speaker 1: wearing those low cut shoes. So I never that's a
Speaker 1: little you know, bigger dudes needed more support. I'm not
Speaker 1: mad at that. Will he be there next year? We
Speaker 1: don't know. A good question. It's gonna be It's gonna
Speaker 1: be interested to see what happens in this offseason, especially
Speaker 1: if this team burns out. Uh this season, Uncle underscore Gramps.
Speaker 1: Did you guys like the verses with t Mac and Ai?
Speaker 1: If so, who would you like to see go against
Speaker 1: each other next? Jack? I actually missed the verses, uh,
Speaker 1: so hopefully you saw and you can answer this question. No,
Speaker 1: I missed it too, But you know I love the idea.
Speaker 1: I love the idea of the verses. I mean to
Speaker 1: see highlights to to give these dudes given their flowers.
Speaker 1: I think it's dope. Yeah, I think given them flowers
Speaker 1: is dope. But for me, I just couldn't sit there
Speaker 1: and just watch our highlights that because I probably haven't
Speaker 1: seen all these highlights already a million times. But I
Speaker 1: know everything about these guys, both of my brothers, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. I started the John with Team Mac.
Speaker 1: He has been my big brother with you know, all
Speaker 1: the stuff we got going on. So I know these guys.
Speaker 1: But um, but what about the people that don't? What
Speaker 1: about the fans that may have missed some of the ship.
Speaker 1: For some of the kids, that's that's good for them,
Speaker 1: and I think they did enjoy I missed it. Um.
Speaker 1: I know Shaq was involved, Pat Joe was involved, and
Speaker 1: Taylor Rooks was involved, so I know it was entertaining.
Speaker 1: But it was good to see the verses in incorporate sports,
Speaker 1: Uh with that platform. I think it was dope. I
Speaker 1: missed it, but I would like to see it. I'd
Speaker 1: like to see Kobe verse m j Alright, Jack, we
Speaker 1: have a new member to the family. Are brother dialon
Speaker 1: over Forgotten Seasons? Um? His show called Forgotten Seasons debut yesterday,
Speaker 1: UM on the Showtime Basketball Network. Really dope show man.
Speaker 1: And and you know, I think you interviewed with him first.
Speaker 1: Uh then I interviewed after, and I thought what he
Speaker 1: was doing was so creative and him kind of doing himself.
Speaker 1: Him and his brother were really just grinding, and I
Speaker 1: loved the show. So we connected some Dotson and brought
Speaker 1: him in under the umbrella. Um but really dope show.
Speaker 1: What do you think about the show? I think shows
Speaker 1: dope man. I think, like you said, with what he's done,
Speaker 1: and when he's been doing it for a while, you know,
Speaker 1: he's been sending um me status that I don't even
Speaker 1: know I had, and and putting me and I let
Speaker 1: me know that I was in categories with some of
Speaker 1: the top players several years in the league, and it's
Speaker 1: a lot of players that me and you respected and
Speaker 1: and and and played against. He showed you the stats
Speaker 1: and people today look at this, but like who is
Speaker 1: this guy? He was killing? Right? So so I think
Speaker 1: just just the just the education that he brings and
Speaker 1: the student of basketball um that he is. There's no
Speaker 1: reason why you don't have its on the show because
Speaker 1: he's not just educating people don't watch the game, but
Speaker 1: don't study the game, and didn't play the game. He's
Speaker 1: even he's even educating us. So it's big. No, I'm
Speaker 1: excited for him. Like I said when we were trying
Speaker 1: to get this deal done, I've already told him another, man,
Speaker 1: you have a great show. You know, just coming over
Speaker 1: to our side is just going to be the cherry
Speaker 1: on top. So I'm excited for And basically we forgotten seasons.
Speaker 1: He highlights for gotten seasons, you know, the teams that
Speaker 1: never really wanted, really good teams that you know, had
Speaker 1: a really good squad and for some reason another didn't
Speaker 1: make it. Both Jack and I have talked about teams
Speaker 1: we've been on in the past. Um the show this
Speaker 1: this recent show, the first episode is with Jabal Crawford
Speaker 1: and his two thousand and ten Atlanta Hawks teams. And
Speaker 1: that team has some talent, obviously, Jamal, Mike Bibbie, Joe Smith,
Speaker 1: Joe Johnson, Al Horford, Marvin Williams, uh coach, Mike Woodson.
Speaker 1: I remember that year in particularly because we had a
Speaker 1: nice run in in Orlando where we faced you guys
Speaker 1: in the first round and and and faced Atlanta in
Speaker 1: the second round. But that was that was a talented team. Man.
Speaker 1: So UM, looking forward to a show again. Welcome to
Speaker 1: the Showtime family. Jack. Who was one of the best
Speaker 1: teams you ever faced that didn't end up winning a championship?
Speaker 1: That's tough. I mean I would have to say those
Speaker 1: Portland's teams. M yeah, those teams, you know, the years
Speaker 1: I was in San Antonio planning against Portland, the years
Speaker 1: I was in UM and UH Indiana playing against Portland,
Speaker 1: and that we're not just yet, not my first year
Speaker 1: I played with san Antonio, san Antonio, really those san
Speaker 1: Antonio years because she left when we played together in
Speaker 1: Atlanta for one game the Hawks. But those Portland teams,
Speaker 1: I would say the two teams or your Indiana team.
Speaker 1: And then my rookie year played against that Sacramento team
Speaker 1: that was in that that that that was battling against
Speaker 1: UM the Lakers. So yeah, those two teams are probably
Speaker 1: the two best teams I played against. It didn't win it.
Speaker 1: Our next guest on All the Smoke is Sabrina in
Speaker 1: that School. It drops this Thursday. Enjoy the teaser. Talk
Speaker 1: us about your relationship with Steph Curry. You mentioned it earlier,
Speaker 1: you know, being a one of Creek girl and and
Speaker 1: growing up and stuff is out that way with your
Speaker 1: relationship with him. Like I've watched him since I was
Speaker 1: in when he came into the league, and so um,
Speaker 1: you know when I was finally like able to eat
Speaker 1: him and then was in college and you know, I
Speaker 1: almost signed with Curry Rand because of him and our
Speaker 1: relationship and being able to you know, open gym and
Speaker 1: go to his games and have that relationship where I
Speaker 1: can just pick up the phone and call him. You
Speaker 1: know what. He called me right when I got hurt
Speaker 1: and you know, helped me out because he had ankle
Speaker 1: injuries early on in his career too. So um, I mean,
Speaker 1: what he's doing for the game is something you know,
Speaker 1: we might not seem any more times from players, and
Speaker 1: so it's it's really cool, and I'm just proud of
Speaker 1: him for the player and for the person that he
Speaker 1: is now. He's like the you can create a superstar,
Speaker 1: Like he's the one, you know what I mean, Like
Speaker 1: he's the one, and and to be able to handle
Speaker 1: the pressure and continue to live the right way. I mean,
Speaker 1: obviously Lebron did it too, but Steph's kind of like
Speaker 1: the no tattoo, the Golden Boy, Yeah to question, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. And he got tattooed. Yeah, they're
Speaker 1: just they're hiding here. Yeah, they're small and hidden. Shut
Speaker 1: out the baby face, the baby face. Yeah, and that's
Speaker 1: what it is. Jack closing thoughts. UM. This past weekend,
Speaker 1: Juwan Howard got to an altercation after the Wisconsin game
Speaker 1: with the head coach, Greg glad Guard. He called the
Speaker 1: time out with fifteen seconds they were already winning. Uh
Speaker 1: after I actually just saw a new video this morning
Speaker 1: inject that. Um, the Wisconsin coach came up and grabbed
Speaker 1: Jawan's right arm, and Joan said, don't touch me. So
Speaker 1: if someone comes up and grabs you, I don't give
Speaker 1: a funk what they have to say. After I'm not
Speaker 1: trying to hear it. It turned into him open hands
Speaker 1: slapping an insistent coach and went a little back and
Speaker 1: forth after that. UM, when you saw that, what was
Speaker 1: your first thought? I thought, I actually thought Jawan shook
Speaker 1: his hand first without saying anything, and as Jawan kept moved,
Speaker 1: when I think he grabbed his arm and then and
Speaker 1: try to say something to him like hold up, First
Speaker 1: of all, don't touch me. I'm a ground man. You
Speaker 1: know you did some bullshit by calling the time out.
Speaker 1: But then again, if I shake your hand, that's enough.
Speaker 1: I'm not apigted to stop and talk to you. So
Speaker 1: once you grab me then you had that lets me
Speaker 1: know you you ready and slapped you ready accept the
Speaker 1: slap to the face. Do not touch me at no time? Right?
Speaker 1: And Jawan wasn't wrong your sister coach runningup in there
Speaker 1: playing de bow and trying to be Mr Badass on
Speaker 1: all my young players. Pal, you take that too, right,
Speaker 1: So that's how we go. Coach, you started off a
Speaker 1: comme of time out. You know you did some bullshit.
Speaker 1: That's why you're trying to stop me and talk to me. No,
Speaker 1: don't do that. You know what you did, shake my hand,
Speaker 1: keep it moving. You touched me, Okay, I gotta straighten
Speaker 1: you out. Then I'm gonna straighten your your sister coach,
Speaker 1: I both of y'all go back to the locker room
Speaker 1: with them handprints and figure out what powder? What powder?
Speaker 1: I had to tell y'all because that's powder. No, I know,
Speaker 1: I don't know now know, I don't know what that
Speaker 1: ship say, but it sounds good when when you say it,
Speaker 1: and no, I agree again, Uh, you're calling time out
Speaker 1: when you're winning, Jawan walks, Bond says, I remember that,
Speaker 1: and you grabbed his arm to stop him. I don't
Speaker 1: give a funk what you have to say that don't
Speaker 1: can grab me, period. And you know, in the heat
Speaker 1: of the game, you're just losing the game. You're already
Speaker 1: kind of you know, we should have played better. We
Speaker 1: you know where we're You're mad at your team, But
Speaker 1: to call a SUCKERD time out with fifteen seconds left,
Speaker 1: and then they have the audacity to grab me, we
Speaker 1: already know we both would it did um And then
Speaker 1: again assistant coach trying to run up like he's you know,
Speaker 1: he's he's scared somebody. He's lucky it was open here
Speaker 1: slapping not the right cross because because it would have
Speaker 1: landed rout him that eye socket bah right here. But
Speaker 1: you know this is gonna be a black eye for
Speaker 1: the situation. Who knows what's gonna happen. I hope they
Speaker 1: kind of understand and really see all the different angles
Speaker 1: to see that that coach grabbed him first, and that
Speaker 1: was the first the cause of the outcome. You know,
Speaker 1: they always want to look at what happened, look at
Speaker 1: why that ship happened. So I hope in this situation
Speaker 1: they do. Uh, he might get a game or two,
Speaker 1: but hopefully, you know, some people are talking about him
Speaker 1: losing his job. I hope it doesn't go um that far. Lastly,
Speaker 1: this just in hard off the press. By the time
Speaker 1: it drops it will be a day old. But Drogic
Speaker 1: signs with the Nets. I like that move. Gordon was
Speaker 1: solid in Miami when they made their run. You know,
Speaker 1: a little injured, but Gore and help this team. I
Speaker 1: love it. He can score, he's solid, he's experience. Uh,
Speaker 1: he's made his bonds in the league. You know what
Speaker 1: I mean. I like it. I mean, just just in
Speaker 1: case things don't change. But Kyrie plays all the way
Speaker 1: doing the playoffs, having Garden, Drivegic and Patty Mills. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I like that. Good pick up. Goring as a solid player,
Speaker 1: not scared of the moment, been in the biggest moments
Speaker 1: um and definitely will help this team. You can catch
Speaker 1: What's Burning every week on Showtime Basketball YouTube and on Twitter, Instagram,

Speaker 1: at each other, like getting crazy. The unsung hero get there?

Speaker 1: was just a missed opportunity. We get up three one
Speaker 1: on the Houston team. We should close that out. What
Speaker 1: about the players that changed the game. It was a
Speaker 1: translator too, though generally transapt like he started the euro Steps,
Speaker 1: all that that, he started all that stuff. Man, what
Speaker 1: about the players that for sure I should have won

Speaker 1: you're gonna say. Okay, thanks for having me. I'm excited again.
Speaker 1: I appreciate you. The only thing I'm plugged with forgotten seasons.
Speaker 1: It brings back memories for for players, for fans. It
Speaker 1: sheds a light on teams that definitely should get mentioned.
Speaker 1: A lot more forgotten seasons presented by Showtime Basketball. What

Speaker 1: of uber, and contrary to what you might have read,

Speaker 1: been taken. Wow.
