9
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 4: It was very disappointing, but we have some details as

10
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 4: far as how it plays on The Odd Couple.

11
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 5: That's right.

12
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,239
Speaker 6: The big story coming into this game at everything to

13
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 6: do with Sam mother Efin Donald, sam Ronald McDonald, whatever

14
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 6: you wanted to call him. He was the big talking

15
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 6: point for this show. So much though they have a

16
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 6: remix of the I'm a Believer song coming okay, wait

17
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 6: sooner than later.

18
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 4: Next week next to no no, no, no, no, no,

19
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 4: next Tuesday and Wednesday, no following Tuesday and Wednesday.

20
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 5: Oh no, we got the coming up to this.

21
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 6: So on one hand, Sam Donald in a win mention

22
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 6: that lowest completion percentage of the season fifty percent, second

23
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,559
Speaker 6: worst yards per attempt. He overthrew at least one long

24
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 6: touchdown and under threw at least another touchdown touchdowns. There

25
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 6: wasn't spectacular Brandy means, but zero turnovers. In the second half,

26
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 6: he turned it on ten to sixteen, one fourteen and

27
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 6: a touchdown, so there was some context to what he

28
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 6: did there in the game. So, guys, obviously, now that

29
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 6: Sam Donald has got the super Bowl, he played mistake

30
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 6: free football for about a month. It's clear now more

31
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 6: than ever, that we've all turned the page of Sam Donald.

32
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 1: Right, not so fast, Gosh, you set up here and promise.

33
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,119
Speaker 3: Through not so fast.

34
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 4: I will give you that he had a clean game,

35
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 4: but I'm not gonna buy into Sam Donald. In fact,

36
00:01:54,920 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 4: I'm calling him scam Donald. He's he gammed his way

37
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 4: into a super Bowl riding a great defense and a

38
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 4: kicker who set a record for field goals because Sam

39
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:12,119
Speaker 4: Donald couldn't get the team in the end zone. We

40
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:16,359
Speaker 4: know he had the most turnovers in the NFL, yes, twenty.

41
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 3: When you think back to his.

42
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 4: Numbers all year twenty five touchdowns, fourteen interceptions, it's not great.

43
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 3: He had an okay season.

44
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 4: His Super Bowl numbers, it was so bad that they

45
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 4: picked a running back with no touchdowns to beat the MVP.

46
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 4: Because they couldn't give it to the defense, They didn't

47
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,519
Speaker 4: want to give it to the kicker, so the running

48
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 4: back got it again. A clean game, but it was

49
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 4: not spectacular by any stretch of the imagination. Two hundred

50
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 4: and two yards, one touchdown, seventy four point seven percent

51
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 4: quarterback rating. It was so bad, in fact, that Brad

52
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:02,799
Speaker 4: Johnson and Trent Dilfer had better quarterback ratings than Sam Donald.

53
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 4: Only in two games this year did Sam Donald have

54
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 4: a worse quarterback rating. I mean, that's how bad this

55
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 4: was compared.

56
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 3: To the rest of the season.

57
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 4: He shrunk when it mattered most, in those big moments.

58
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 4: Rob g talked about two touchdowns that he didn't deliver

59
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 4: on in the red zone and a chance to blow

60
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 4: this game open. Couldn't do it nine to nothing at

61
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 4: the half. Celebrate him all you want. It was a

62
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 4: mid performance. And I'm not giving up the ghost that

63
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 4: I'm buying in the Sam Donald that he's a big

64
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 4: time quarterback.

65
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 3: He's not that quarterback.

66
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 4: Who the Jets drafted and thought that their franchise quarterback

67
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 4: would be. Is he suitable for framing? Can he get

68
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 4: you a Super Bowl with a great defense and kicker? Yes,

69
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 4: he can, but from here on out, he scammed Donald

70
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 4: because he scammed himself into a super.

71
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: Scam Parker is what I'm calling you. Scam Parker. You

72
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,839
Speaker 1: set up here, look me in the eyes, and lied

73
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: to me and the people who wake up every day

74
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: listening to our show, going about their day, working hard,

75
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: listening to the pod, ignoring the children and their spouses

76
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: to listen to us. And they heard you say this.

77
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 4: Hit me with that, Mary and Rob g I will

78
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 4: not believe in Sam Donald until he's it's Super Bowl

79
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 4: Sunday and he runs out onto.

80
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 5: The field he did with the Seahawks and then he

81
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 5: ran up to the stage with a Super Bowl trophy.

82
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 5: Do you believe in him?

83
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: No, you give him another nickname, scam Darno. I'm so

84
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 1: mad at you all season long. When you did it right, Hey, Rob,

85
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 1: you got it right. When that happened, you were like, hey,

86
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 1: look that happened. I said it would. And dagget when

87
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 1: you're wrong. I need you to be wrong. And when

88
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: you tell the people you're gonna do something, you need

89
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 1: to believe in them.

90
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 5: You said you would.

91
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: Now let's get back to some things you brought up

92
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: this particular game grant you. He didn't look like the

93
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 1: return to Joe Montana, Tom Brady and John that way.

94
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: But you know what, guess what, you know who else

95
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 1: didn't the guy who you said should have won MVP.

96
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 5: You know what Drake May had in four games in the.

97
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,679
Speaker 1: Postseason, six passing touchdowns, four interceptions.

98
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 3: Well, I'll say that it was.

99
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 1: Sacked hold up an NFL record twenty one times. The

100
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: reason I bring it up is to say, Sam Darnold,

101
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 1: you always bring up led the NFL and terms, and

102
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 1: that's a fact, and I say, hey, I can't argue Jen.

103
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 1: Only thing I will say is, hey, he's been on

104
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: the three game with Hey. He looked great against the

105
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,359
Speaker 1: NFC Championship game against r Hey. He looked great in

106
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 1: that second, that four quarter against the Rams, you know,

107
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: a few weeks back. He's been great since then, including

108
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: the specifically Ribu with the turnovers. He did not turn

109
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 1: the ball over a single time in the post was

110
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 1: a clean game. It was huge, though, But that's huge

111
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 1: in a game like that because turnovers ultimately can turn

112
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 1: around and be the thing. And this is what he did.

113
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 1: He didn't make all the big throws. He didn't have

114
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 1: three hundred four hundred yards. But what he did was

115
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: get his team down the field enough to get said

116
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:01,479
Speaker 1: field goals.

117
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 5: I admit he was boring.

118
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: We all wanted more action, but he got those field goals,

119
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: which were enough to give them a nice twelve point

120
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: lead and then ultimately nineteen to nothing and then the

121
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 1: Patriots scored a couple. But my point is he had

122
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 1: to do what Drake May couldn't do, and Drake May

123
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: couldn't make some of the throws that were there because

124
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: he was seeing ghosts. Ironically enough, which is what Sam

125
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: Donald said back when he was a Jet, Sam Donald

126
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,479
Speaker 1: did enough. He didn't hurt his team. We piled on

127
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: to CJ. Straub because he hurt his team. He was

128
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 1: the reason they lost. When you have a great special team,

129
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: you're well coaching, you have a good defense, you go

130
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 1: out there and do what you're supposed to do. He

131
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 1: did that, so you got to put some respect on it.

132
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: And this is to me. Now we're looking at him

133
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 1: fourteen wins plus with two teams, four thousand yards, two

134
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,599
Speaker 1: teams in a row, and now a Super Bowl ring.

135
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: Sam Donald has turned the story around and eternally. When

136
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 1: you talk about Super Bowl winners. We got to talk

137
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 1: about him because he's got the same he's got more

138
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: than Dan Marino. He's got the same as Aaron Rodgers,

139
00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 1: and he's got the same as Matthew Stafford and a

140
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: whole bunch of other would be.

141
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 4: The only difference is he wasn't the reason that they won.

142
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,599
Speaker 4: And that and you can poop poo it or discount it.

143
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 4: That was all set up for him to write the

144
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 4: Ultimate Disney movie, okay, because that would have been and

145
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 4: it was on the table for him. Like you said,

146
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 4: they moved the ball. There were situations in circumstance. What

147
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 4: he did was he wasn't able to completely erase doubt

148
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 4: a lot of people watching that first half set there

149
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 4: it is that Sam Donald can't get in the end zone.

150
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 4: It should be twenty one nothing. Instead it's nine to nothing. Uh,

151
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 4: he's letting the Patriots still be in the game because

152
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 4: he couldn't finish the job. It would it would tell

153
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 4: me if he would have gotten some touchdowns early on,

154
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 4: he would have.

155
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:46,239
Speaker 3: Won the MVP.

156
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 4: And then you don't really have an argument, but everybody

157
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 4: talks about it. When ESPN on their main page put

158
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 4: up that that the Seahawks had won. Sam Donald's not

159
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 4: in that picture. But that's the Sam Donald's not in

160
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 4: that picture because he was on the wagon. He wasn't

161
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 4: driving the wagon. And that's the difference. So there will

162
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 4: still be people like yours truly who will look at

163
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:14,679
Speaker 4: him as Scam Donald, not Sam Donald, because he scammed

164
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 4: his way into a super Bowl.

165
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: So let me say this, you're under selling the ability

166
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 1: to just do your job and to not for sure

167
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: his job, and to not be the reason that literally

168
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: had been the thing people said. He doesn't win as

169
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: he turns it over with it matters, crunch.

170
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 3: On, I'll give you.

171
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 4: But did you think he played fine? Okay, he played

172
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:35,959
Speaker 4: mad as you would say.

173
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 5: Well not to see, no, not when it mattered. That's

174
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 5: what we'll disagree.

175
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 1: Ten for sixteen one hundred and fourteen yards and the

176
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,319
Speaker 1: touchdowns some key runs, no no, no, but see that.

177
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 5: But that's where that's.

178
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 4: When here's with me and you were different because you

179
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,679
Speaker 4: talk about Caleb doesn't pass for a fifty more than

180
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,319
Speaker 4: fifty percent. I tell you about the big throw to

181
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 4: win the game, And now you're saying you don't care

182
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 4: that you don't care that he threw for a miss

183
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 4: fifty percent of his throws as long as he made

184
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 4: the key ones and won the game. So which one

185
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 4: is our answer to that? Okay, which one is it?

186
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 5: Number one? This is the super Bowl, this is a winter.

187
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 3: Super Bowl.

188
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 1: That's a massiveness. It doesn't number two. I just said

189
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,199
Speaker 1: he was fine. You come in and act like kaylab

190
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 1: was the greatest thing sinceays Brandon. I'll say he was

191
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: fine in that fourth quarter. That's all I say. I

192
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 1: didn't say Sam Donald was great. I verbat him says

193
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,559
Speaker 1: Sam Donald was fine, And that's my point.

Speaker 4: The NBA All Star Weekend is the topic good conversation. Absolutely,

217
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 4: I went and got my credential. I'm gonna be there

218
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 4: all week all I'm sorry about I'm still upset about

219
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 4: my story way Monsie got turned down as well. So

220
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 4: you guys that all about? Yeah, I don't know. Maybe

221
00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 4: because I've been covering the leak since nineteen eighty seven.

222
00:10:59,559 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 3: I don't know.

223
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 5: I don't know. It's gonna be some smoke when I

224
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:02,439
Speaker 5: see somebody.

225
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 6: There's gonna be some smoke for Kevin Durant, that's Jalo sure,

226
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 6: because he after their game last night, a loss to

227
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:12,439
Speaker 6: the Clippers, Kawhi Leonard aspire LLC and all them boys

228
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 6: went in there and put Belta ass on the Rockets.

229
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 6: And after the game, of course, the All Star Game

230
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 6: is coming up in about seventy two hours. All Star

231
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 6: Weekend starts in about a day and a half, yep,

232
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 6: and everybody's talking about like, hey, how are we going

233
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:26,599
Speaker 6: to fix the All Star Game? This new form, what

234
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 6: are we gonna do? And ultimately what it seems to

235
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 6: comes down to is if guys just play hard, we'll

236
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 6: have a great All Star Game experience. Well, Kevin Durant

237
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 6: was asked about that last night and he seemed to

238
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:40,839
Speaker 6: take it kind of personally. Take a listen, I saw

239
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 6: you saw the rosters were revealed and said, you're on

240
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 6: the Old Heads team. Do you think the Old Heads

241
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 6: will compete and try to win the whole tournament?

242
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 5: Here?

243
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 8: You should ask the Europeans if the World team, if

244
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 8: they're gonna compete. I mean, because we look at Luka,

245
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:57,199
Speaker 8: Doncis and Nicole Jokis. Now let's go back and look

246
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 8: at what they do at the All Star Game.

247
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 5: Is that competition?

248
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 8: So we haven't questioned what they've been doing, but we're

249
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 8: gonna question Old His in the Americans but these two

250
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:11,079
Speaker 8: dudes out there, Luca and Yokis, they don't care about

251
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 8: the game.

252
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 7: Man.

253
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 8: Oh, these dudes be laying on the floor. They shoot

254
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 8: from half court. But you got worried about the old

255
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 8: heads playing hard. I can read between the lines, bro.

256
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you and you could read between the lines,

257
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 4: and you be wrong, because guess what, even before those

258
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 4: guys showed up and became what's called this has stopped

259
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 4: a long time ago. This didn't stop since Luca and

260
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 4: the Joker showed up. You guys have stopped playing way

261
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 4: before that. You really haven't. When Lebron checked out of this,

262
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 4: you know what I mean, and people follow the leader less.

263
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 4: He's the face of the NBA. When he checked out

264
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 4: of this, a lot of players checked out. They didn't

265
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,680
Speaker 4: want to compete. People told you, talked about it yesterday

266
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 4: when Kobe picked up Lebron at full at the half

267
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 4: court right, and Lebron immediately gave up the ball and

268
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 4: was like, I want no part of this, dude.

269
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 1: That was strange that a All Star game sided Kobe

270
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 1: slaps the ground.

271
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 5: He's ready to go. Let's go.

272
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 1: Everybody stands up, even the players stood on the bench,

273
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 1: all right, let's let's see our moment what he passed.

274
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 1: They didn't double team nothing. He just that was that

275
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 1: was strange Canda.

276
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 4: Ny but but but that's where I think Kevin Durant

277
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 4: is missing. The point is that uh NBA fans have

278
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 4: felt cheated for a while now and it ain't gonna

279
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 4: be the European the Johnny cum latelies, they're a big

280
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 4: part of the league. I get what Kevin Durant's saying.

281
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,439
Speaker 4: They don't set the tone. The American players set the

282
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 4: tone in the NBA. KD, what are you talking about?

283
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 4: Can you replay any interviews from Luka Doncic or from

284
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 4: the Joker.

285
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:53,319
Speaker 3: They're not saying anything about the NBA.

286
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 4: Nobody goes and ask them what why? It's about the

287
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 4: American players. You set the standard. This is an American league.

288
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 4: If you were playing in Europe, they wouldn't go to

289
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 4: UKD and ask you this is about America. And this

290
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 4: is why you get the smoke O. This is your league.

291
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 4: This is our league in the United States. Even in

292
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 4: the baseball, nobody's going to Old Tani to ask him

293
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 4: what's Major League Baseball?

294
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 3: Are you kidding?

295
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 4: Hey, Old TOHNI, Why aren't they black fans in the stands.

296
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 5: Oh, he definitely gonna get an interpreted for that.

297
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying, That's not how it works.

298
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 4: Come on, man, don't pass the buck. Answer the damn question. KD.

299
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 4: Stop passing the buck to guys who came over to

300
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 4: this country just to play basketball. They didn't invent the league.

301
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 4: You guys gave up the league. You stop having passion,

302
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 4: you stop playing hard.

303
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 3: You gave up the MVP.

304
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 4: We haven't had an MVP and American MVP since Luisi

305
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 4: had a purchase. You got the nerve to want to

306
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 4: pass the buck. Own it if you want to do it.

307
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 4: Tell the fans blake you, we don't care about you,

308
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 4: because that's the message that the fans got.

309
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 3: They're not running to Luca or gonna run to the

310
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 3: to the Joker and say what about you guy from Europe?

311
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 3: How come you're not playing hard?

312
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 4: Because when you checked out KD and all of your contemporaries,

313
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 4: that's when the rest of the league checked out. If

314
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 4: you took the game seriously, you think the Joker and

315
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 4: Luca would get out on the court.

316
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 3: And not play.

317
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 1: That's the part right there, Ron, That's the part I agree.

318
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 1: If you watch Luca, Luca looks lazy as ever out there.

319
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: We all know Joker rather be with his horses. However,

320
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 1: there are twenty four guys give or taken an All

321
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 1: Star Game, and if the other twenty two were going hard,

322
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 1: if the other twenty two were playing that top you

323
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 1: know for you know, three quarters effort, absolutely they would

324
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: fall in line or you know what they would do. Coach,

325
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 1: I ain't gonna lie. I just think about just keep me

326
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 1: out and they wouldn't be on the floor. So absolutely

327
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 1: they can set the tone. And a couple of things too.

328
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 1: We talk about this all the time. Right now, it's

329
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 1: the Winner Olympics on TV. Let me tell you a

330
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 1: country that don't play about their particular sport, Canada. What

331
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 1: sport don't they play about? Rob They don't play about hockey.

332
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 1: That's their sport. They take it very seriously and they

333
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 1: don't get they don't want to lose it. Whenever they

334
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 1: have the American versus Canada or other countries, they want

335
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: to compete, they want to play. So yes, I get

336
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 1: his point that lucas one of the best players, and

337
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 1: Yo Kisch is one of the best players, and yes

338
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 1: they are mister All Star Game type of players per se. However,

339
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 1: you all set the tone. This is an American game.

340
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 1: There's a reason why those guys even play because we

341
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 1: set the tone back in ninety two with the Dream Team.

342
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 1: We set the tone. We kind of reset the parameters

343
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 1: of what basketball is supposed to be. We set out

344
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 1: our best, we win out there, we balled over and

345
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 1: the whole world said, oh shoot, that's basketball, and we

346
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:06,679
Speaker 1: reset the tone for what basketball is supposed to be.

347
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, that's how you get

348
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:10,359
Speaker 1: all these baby birthday in it and Yo Kich and

349
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:14,640
Speaker 1: Lucas and so on. So absolutely KD knows what people

350
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 1: are saying, because Katie loves basketball maybe more than just

351
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 1: about anybody in the NBA, So he knows what people

352
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:23,439
Speaker 1: are asking for is what we see every summer on

353
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,919
Speaker 1: my youtubes and my instagrams and what's that Rob, What

354
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,719
Speaker 1: I see at UCLA pickup games, what we see at

355
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:31,920
Speaker 1: the Rutger games. When KD pulls up, what we say

356
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 1: all these summer league games and lifetime fitness, and what

357
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: we're saying is elite competition. That's all people are asking for.

358
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:39,959
Speaker 1: They want people to go in there and compete. Nobody's

359
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 1: asking you like it's life or death, but we're asking

360
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 1: nobody wants you to get injured something. But he knows

361
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 1: what we're referring to because he of all people, we

362
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 1: see him playing the summers, We see him playing the

363
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 1: league at the league, So you know what we're asking for.

364
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 1: You all set the tone, especially the old head, because

365
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,919
Speaker 1: you guys are the last leaders before you guys call

366
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:58,440
Speaker 1: it quit, so we want to see the tone be

367
00:17:58,520 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 1: set by them.

00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:15,119
Speaker 3: Chris Paul is done.

372
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:17,160
Speaker 6: Yeah. I don't know if this is breaking news because

373
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:18,920
Speaker 6: he's kind of been done for a few months now

374
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 6: at this point, but it is official, like a referee

375
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 6: with the whistle. Chris Paul has retired from the NBA

376
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:31,399
Speaker 6: after twenty one seasons. He was famously sent home by

377
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,120
Speaker 6: the Los Angeles Clippers at the end of last year

378
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,640
Speaker 6: because he was beefing with ty Lou wasn't speaking to him.

379
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:38,959
Speaker 6: They had just had it enough to hear with them,

380
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:42,119
Speaker 6: so they sent him home. They traded him unceremoniously to

381
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,200
Speaker 6: the Raptors about a week and a half ago. The

382
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:47,160
Speaker 6: Raptors tried to reroute him, they couldn't, so they waved him.

383
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:48,880
Speaker 6: And then Chris Paul was like, you know what, rather

384
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:52,439
Speaker 6: than hang on for whatever last twenty five games of

385
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 6: the season, let me just call it a career.

386
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 3: CP three, the point.

387
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 5: Guard retired and.

388
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 4: Kel At this point, there's waves of going out twenty

389
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 4: one years in the NBA, and you know, we always

390
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 4: talk about it, is it good luck or good riddance

391
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 4: for Chris Paul?

392
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 3: I think is good riddance?

393
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 4: Stuck around too long the way he was dumped in

394
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 4: a place that you know, this Lob City, and he

395
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 4: had all this love. He was coming back to go

396
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 4: out a certain way right and have people feel good

397
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,639
Speaker 4: about him and all that. He lost that because of

398
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:32,640
Speaker 4: whatever shenanigans that he did with the Clippers to turn

399
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 4: people off to him.

400
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 3: And I'm just being honest. I've covered the league for

401
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 3: a long time.

402
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 4: We know what a player he is, but he rubbed

403
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 4: people the wrong way along the way. And that's a

404
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:49,879
Speaker 4: long road twenty one NBA seasons and what happens is

405
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 4: people put up with a lot of stuff. When you

406
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:56,360
Speaker 4: can play and make a difference, right as soon as

407
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 4: you can't.

408
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 3: Do that, those days are over.

409
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:04,399
Speaker 4: People aren't going to put up with the rubbing people

410
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 4: the wrong way, treating people a certain way or whatnot.

411
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,399
Speaker 4: And I think that's why the Clippers the middle of

412
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:12,880
Speaker 4: the night they had to fly in, remember that, right

413
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,120
Speaker 4: the middle of the night, to tell him to pack

414
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 4: his bags and get out of here. I mean that

415
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 4: speaks volume, especially for a guy who played in the

416
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 4: organization for a long time, had some success. Put that

417
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 4: organization with lob City on the map in NBA America, and.

418
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 3: That's the way it ended. So that that's on.

419
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 1: Chris paul I put it like this, Chris Paul is,

420
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: let's say he had twenty one years.

421
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 5: I'm gonna split it up in a twenty. Let's say

422
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 5: it's ten and ten.

423
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 1: He's the most interesting of his peers, if you will,

424
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: and that Lebron, we already know he's number one, number two,

425
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 1: number three, where if you play m but we already

426
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 1: know his greatness.

427
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:50,640
Speaker 5: You are, Steph.

428
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,680
Speaker 1: We already say, the great greatest shooter of all time,

429
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 1: one of the best players like you kind of know.

430
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 1: Steps He got a bunch of rings, you kind of

431
00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 1: know where he is, so on and so forth. Dwayne

432
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 1: Wade's got a few rings. You kind of can place

433
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 1: people in certain places. Chris Paul. The reason why Rob

434
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,440
Speaker 1: Gus said point God because he was the first person

435
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: we started to call the point God. Right, you had magic,

436
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:12,879
Speaker 1: you heard that, you had other great point guards, but

437
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,119
Speaker 1: he was the one we really started to say that with.

438
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:18,880
Speaker 1: He was the first ten years. He couldn't been more lovable, Right,

439
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,679
Speaker 1: He's the small guy that's playing great in New Orleans

440
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,159
Speaker 1: and in turn Oklahoma City because they had, you know,

441
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 1: all the whole the Hurricane Katrina, so on and so forth.

442
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: Then he's the guy that comes to Love City and

443
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 1: he's they're great, they're fun, they're entertaining, they're a sexy

444
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 1: pick four handful of seasons to win it all.

445
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 5: He asked.

446
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 1: The one of the best campaigns for an athlete commercial wise,

447
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 1: with the Cliff Paul and the State farms.

448
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 5: So he's just he's that guy. It's parential All Star.

449
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 1: He's finishing in the top three for MVP a couple

450
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,879
Speaker 1: of times, and you're like, woll, he's that guy. One

451
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:52,920
Speaker 1: thing started to change when he and that Love City

452
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:56,159
Speaker 1: team started to fail in the postseason, and not just

453
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 1: fail like all we couldn't get it done, but collapse right.

454
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:02,160
Speaker 1: They started to give up leads and series. They started

455
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:05,640
Speaker 1: to have epic choke jobs. Things started to change about

456
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 1: him then in the last ten years, to your point,

457
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 1: it went from lovable Cliff Chris and Cliff Paul Love

458
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:14,399
Speaker 1: Cities commercials. One of the best passers in the league,

459
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 1: one of the best players to man, do they choke

460
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:19,359
Speaker 1: many's he always injured?

461
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 5: Man, they always come up short. Man. He became a

462
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,920
Speaker 5: journey man. Dang, he's a dirty player. Man.

463
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 1: Didn't get along with his teammates. I wonder why he's

464
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,679
Speaker 1: always leaving these places. And it's just been interesting to

465
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 1: see the two split. Like I said, if you go

466
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:33,239
Speaker 1: the first ten or so years, in the last ten

467
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 1: or so years of Chris Paul, it has been remarkable

468
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 1: to witness. And he's been spectacular. He ranks number two

469
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 1: off time in both assists and steals. He's the first

470
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 1: player with twenty thousand points, ten thousand assists, and he's just.

471
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 5: Had a very decorated career.

472
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:52,200
Speaker 1: But for me to see him go from just loved

473
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 1: and respected and one of the right up there with

474
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 1: his Peers and the Lebron, the d Wade's, the you

475
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 1: know those guys kds to now kind of becoming an

476
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 1: after thought.

477
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:02,639
Speaker 5: It's been shocking to me. He was one of my

478
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 5: favorite players to watch.

479
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 1: He always made teams better, but they're always to your point,

480
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:08,160
Speaker 1: would be some weird.

481
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 5: Riff with teams.

482
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 1: It team at the end, like it would start off good,

483
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 1: they win, they'd be successful, then it would end badly.

484
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 5: Uh So.

485
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,400
Speaker 1: I think as time gets away, will be more reflective

486
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 1: on his career and how great he was.

487
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 5: But it is really odd.

488
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,399
Speaker 1: To me, Rob He's one of those just rare players

489
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 1: where you can see the divide.

490
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:29,639
Speaker 5: And I also wonder you covered the league.

491
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,879
Speaker 1: This was a big Hughes thing, one of the great

492
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 1: what would have been of all time in the NBA.

493
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:39,359
Speaker 1: If David Stern okay that trade and as I've never

494
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:41,880
Speaker 1: seen before him block a trade and if he would

495
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:43,919
Speaker 1: have paired up in Tindo with Kobe, how that might

496
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 1: have changed the trajectory of his career.

497
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:47,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, but you also got to remember the league owned

498
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 4: the team at the time.

499
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 3: That was the only asset of the team.

500
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 5: I don't no, no, I don't.

501
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:52,959
Speaker 3: I mean, he didn't do it just to do it.

502
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 1: But I'm just saying, but I mean, if I told you,

503
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 1: I'm giving you Pau Gasol Hall of Famer Lamar Odelman

504
00:23:59,280 --> 00:23:59,959
Speaker 1: six Man of the Year.

505
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 5: Excuse me, you think you'd be all right with that?

506
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 1: So it's just interesting how it all ended up for

507
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:07,399
Speaker 1: Chris Paul versus where it started.

508
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 5: Good luck of good riddance, where are you? Good luck?

509
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 5: Excuse me? Good luck? All right?

510
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 3: Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. I just think

511
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:21,920
Speaker 3: the way it ended.

512
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 4: Remember, everybody was ready to crown Chris Paul when they

513
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 4: were up two to zero in the NBA Finals, the

514
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:27,919
Speaker 4: Sons and the Bucks.

515
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:29,160
Speaker 5: They never won another game.

516
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:31,679
Speaker 4: That kind of also changed the way people looked at

517
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:34,919
Speaker 4: them because they were doing a coronation. It was all

518
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 4: about Chris Paul and how great he was and looking

519
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 4: it is, he finally passed Isaiah Thomas and all these

520
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:43,719
Speaker 4: other people they were talking about, and I think that

521
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,880
Speaker 4: went I just think the way he went out, there

522
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 4: was no way Chris Paul should have gone out that

523
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 4: way with the Clippers, which tells you that that that

524
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 4: that says a lot to me.

525
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 5: That's what I mean that really does.

526
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:57,440
Speaker 4: Right the middle of the night, they have to fly

527
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:00,200
Speaker 4: from California to wherever they were in a row to

528
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 4: say Okay, pack your back, we need you to get

529
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 4: out of here. Wow.
