I mean, this was a Kent Still. 0:01:09.560 --> 0:01:11.760 You were kent Still. You were there. You became friends 0:01:11.800 --> 0:01:14.560 with these guys later later, But were you at any 0:01:14.600 --> 0:01:17.759 of these games? I was, I thought I was at 0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:19.880 this game. I was actually at the next year one. 0:01:20.080 --> 0:01:22.399 Next year was I wasn't at this one. This is 0:01:22.600 --> 0:01:24.240 what do you think when you think of this series. 0:01:24.240 --> 0:01:26.160 I mean, this is a pretty epic It's Boston in 0:01:26.319 --> 0:01:31.080 LA the most historic NBA rivalry. Yeah, I mean I 0:01:31.400 --> 0:01:34.800 remember getting excited for the whole Boston LA. I wasn't 0:01:35.040 --> 0:01:38.720 really in the Boston world yet. I was still like 0:01:38.760 --> 0:01:42.160 a Bay Area kid in Ohio, but I always remembered 0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:44.840 this was like the first year of the like the 0:01:44.920 --> 0:01:49.200 Big Three team. They brought over Ray Allen, Paul Pierce 0:01:49.320 --> 0:01:52.400 was there, and then they got Kevin Garnett, Like this 0:01:52.600 --> 0:01:55.400 was like the first super team. And they did it 0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:58.360 through trades, like you think about the Miami Heat. Lebron 0:01:58.560 --> 0:02:01.280 and Bosh signed with the Heat. Yeah, they made I 0:02:01.320 --> 0:02:03.840 mean this was like Al Jefferson and some other stuff. 0:02:03.960 --> 0:02:06.280 I'm jack. You could look up the total package was 0:02:06.440 --> 0:02:09.920 Al Jefferson and stuff for Garnett, and then it was 0:02:09.960 --> 0:02:14.000 like Jeff Green, Delonte West and something for Ray Allen. 0:02:14.040 --> 0:02:16.400 I mean they they did it through the front office exactly. 0:02:16.520 --> 0:02:20.480 But I just I remember I was always a Ray 0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:24.240 Allen fan because he got game great movie. You know 0:02:24.280 --> 0:02:26.880 what I saw in the theater with my mom and 0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:29.560 during the titty scene she put her hands over my eyes. 0:02:29.720 --> 0:02:31.760 Did you did you give one of these? Did you like, 0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:35.399 did you like open her eyes like her hand? Thought 0:02:35.400 --> 0:02:36.800 about it, but like, what am I gonna fight with 0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:39.480 my mom's fingers to see titties? It was like a 0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:43.200 great movie, great movie. One of my favorite Spike Spike 0:02:43.280 --> 0:02:48.400 Lee joint unbelievable. But Denzelze Denzel is one of you 0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:51.639 could hoop apparently. I mean, I think in the original screenplay, 0:02:51.919 --> 0:02:53.639 something I read once was that it was supposed to 0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:55.760 be eleven zero in the one on one game Jesus 0:02:55.760 --> 0:02:58.880 Shuttles were versus Denzel, and then Spike Lee was like shit, 0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:01.040 Denzel's kind of good, so they made it like eleven 0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:03.399 to three or something. They had to give him some respect. Yeah, 0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:05.000 you got it. I mean it's Denzel, He's one of 0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:08.680 the goats. Yeah, but uh yeah, dude. This is just 0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:14.560 like a cool ass game series because it just has 0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:17.000 the tradition of basketball, even if you weren't a big 0:03:17.040 --> 0:03:20.920 basketball person. You know about the Celtics and the Lakers. 0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:23.919 So I was just excited to see it. I mean, 0:03:24.160 --> 0:03:26.239 you think of the names going through the years. It's 0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:30.880 like Walt versus Bill Russell, Magic versus Bird, you know, 0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:34.960 Kareem versus Parish. You know, now you have a new 0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:39.760 era Kobe versus you know, Pierce Garnett, Allen, all these guys. 0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:41.960 I mean, there's so many big names in this series. 0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:46.400 It's augasol lamar Odom, lamar Odom. I loved it. This 0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:49.160 was pre Kardashian. We all have to look that up. 0:03:49.280 --> 0:03:51.160 He was still good. So I'm gonna guess it was 0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:54.560 pre Kardashian's pre Kardashian. Yeah, you know, there's something about 0:03:54.560 --> 0:03:57.880 that Kardashian vagina that just sucks the power out of 0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:00.680 out of star athletes. I don't know what. I've never 0:04:00.720 --> 0:04:03.400 been there, I don't know. But let's go back to 0:04:03.520 --> 0:04:07.520 June two thousand and eight. On this day, one of 0:04:07.560 --> 0:04:11.480 my favorite TV shows became a movie and it became 0:04:11.520 --> 0:04:13.920 the number one movie. What was a Sex and the City? 0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:15.520 Are you a Sex in the City? Head? Nah? But 0:04:15.560 --> 0:04:18.120 I would watch it. It's fun. I loved it.

So this is not what 0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:29.400 I expected from Julian Edelman, and I love it. Love 0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:31.240 Sex and the City. It's a good show.

I 0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:38.760 like that stuff. If it's if I'm on the road 0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:41.320 and Sex and the City comes on like TBS or something, 0:04:41.400 --> 0:04:46.120 I'm pumped. I'm secretly pumped. But I met the actress 0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:48.800 Christin Davis who plays Charlotte when I was in like 0:04:49.000 --> 0:04:51.560 maybe eighth grade. I walked into a diner with my friends. 0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:54.359 We were in our JV basketball uniforms, and I said, 0:04:54.680 --> 0:04:56.440 I know you from Sex and the City and she goes, 0:04:56.440 --> 0:04:58.440 you're too young to watch that show.

Yeah, 0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:30.640 why do they love them so much? The messaging I 0:11:30.640 --> 0:11:33.000 think it was the typing for Yeah, the time was 0:11:33.000 --> 0:11:34.439 actually do you know what, because that's back in the 0:11:34.520 --> 0:11:36.000 day when it was hard. You had a razor that 0:11:36.040 --> 0:11:39.160 took like twenty minutes to send a fucking text, Hi, 0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:43.560 I love you? Yeah done.

It would take too long, no, 0:11:48.320 --> 0:11:51.240 especially if you're a premature ejaculator. Yeah. That and then 0:11:51.280 --> 0:11:54.280 also like it would take you like thirty two minutes 0:11:54.280 --> 0:11:57.720 to upload a jpeg.

No, no, no, she 0:12:36.360 --> 0:12:39.040 lost that one. John McCain, I'm sure did not like her. 0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:41.400 I think he had a lot of momentum and then 0:12:41.440 --> 0:12:43.319 he brought her on board and she said a lot 0:12:43.320 --> 0:12:51.400 of dumb shit. Politics. Yeah, dude, never talk politics. No politics, 0:12:51.520 --> 0:12:54.400 absolutely no politics on this show. What were you doing 0:12:54.440 --> 0:12:56.120 in two thousand and eight?

The Celtics this 0:15:07.800 --> 0:15:11.000 year were sixty six and sixteen, first in the East. 0:15:11.000 --> 0:15:13.160 I mean they were on fire. Coach by Doc Rivers, 0:15:14.120 --> 0:15:16.160 Doc to us one he came and talked to our team. 0:15:16.240 --> 0:15:20.600 Loved Doc. Doc's a legend. We'd always have like legendary 0:15:20.720 --> 0:15:25.120 people or head coaches or business leaders, or they would 0:15:25.160 --> 0:15:27.280 come and speak to the whole team in like the offseason. 0:15:27.320 --> 0:15:30.360 Doc gave an unbelievable presentation to us, talked about winning 0:15:30.400 --> 0:15:34.200 and what he believes in and uh actually speaking of this, 0:15:34.320 --> 0:15:36.960 Kobe came and spoke to us too, really, which was 0:15:37.680 --> 0:15:41.200 honestly one of the most He was one of the 0:15:41.240 --> 0:15:46.120 most interesting humans I've ever heard in that climate, you 0:15:46.200 --> 0:15:50.720 know what I mean. He just you could tell through 0:15:50.760 --> 0:15:53.520 the way he prepared, the way he like, he read 0:15:53.560 --> 0:15:56.120 a lot of books. He always he was very He 0:15:56.200 --> 0:15:59.240 knew like a bunch of languages in six languages. I 0:15:59.400 --> 0:16:01.560 think I don't know flew in new six languages. He 0:16:02.040 --> 0:16:05.120 just he was so interesting and like his attention to 0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:09.200 detail and his and his question asking, like he'd ask 0:16:09.360 --> 0:16:12.480 us questions so then he could take it to where 0:16:12.480 --> 0:16:14.960 he was going next in whatever he wasn't playing anymore. 0:16:15.320 --> 0:16:17.280 But I mean, you could just tell that guy was 0:16:17.320 --> 0:16:20.920 a fierce fucking winner, you know, like just Ia the Tiger, 0:16:21.400 --> 0:16:24.640 He'll fucking rip your heart out and like would do 0:16:24.680 --> 0:16:27.760 it over and over and over and over again just 0:16:27.800 --> 0:16:30.240 to show you you're not better than like that's the 0:16:30.320 --> 0:16:33.400 kind of and it like you felt that when he spoke, Yeah, 0:16:33.440 --> 0:16:35.480 you know it was. That was one of the That 0:16:35.560 --> 0:16:37.640 was one of the coolest things, one of the coolest 0:16:37.640 --> 0:16:40.400 people that came and talked to us before a season. 0:16:40.400 --> 0:16:44.320 But let's get back. They drafted Kendrick Perkins twenty seventh overall. 0:16:44.360 --> 0:16:47.440 Perk He's on ESPN, great great pick. He really filled 0:16:47.480 --> 0:16:49.640 out the middle. He was a tough guy. KG and 0:16:49.680 --> 0:16:53.080 Perkins next to each other were tough as nails. By 0:16:53.080 --> 0:16:56.720 the way, assistant coach on this team, the defensive mastermind, 0:16:57.000 --> 0:17:01.560 my man coach Tibbs, Tip Tom tib Though, KG and 0:17:01.600 --> 0:17:04.320 ray Allen. They got this year best defensive rating in 0:17:04.359 --> 0:17:07.560 the league. KG was easily the defensive player of the year, 0:17:07.560 --> 0:17:09.800 one of the best ever. And the names on this team, 0:17:09.840 --> 0:17:13.720 you know, Im Pierce, Ray Allen, Garnett, Rondo, Perkins, Eddie House, 0:17:13.840 --> 0:17:18.119 James Posey and the Lakers. Then we go to the 0:17:18.200 --> 0:17:22.120 Lakers record was fifty seven and twenty five. They finished 0:17:22.119 --> 0:17:26.840 first in the Western Conference. Obviously coached by the Phil Jackson, 0:17:27.440 --> 0:17:31.520 who's like the mind massager of people that we all 0:17:31.560 --> 0:17:34.200 have heard over the years. He's kind of he kind 0:17:34.200 --> 0:17:37.320 of he's kind of like a no. I would say 0:17:37.400 --> 0:17:40.400 Pops more like Bill or Who's Bill? I think Bill 0:17:40.520 --> 0:17:43.880 is closer to Pop. I think Popovich. Yeah, I think 0:17:43.920 --> 0:17:48.600 the Spurs and the Patriots have some like cultural similarities. Yeah, boring, 0:17:49.400 --> 0:17:53.959 boring all for one. Yeah, just when amazing systems and 0:17:54.200 --> 0:17:57.480 obviously Pop and Belichick or two of the best ever. 0:17:57.720 --> 0:18:00.600 But I always liked seeing like the background things on 0:18:00.680 --> 0:18:02.919 Phil how he was like he would always take like 0:18:02.960 --> 0:18:06.480 the out of the box approach to everything, like hey guys, 0:18:06.520 --> 0:18:08.879 let's like do yoga today and like work on our 0:18:09.800 --> 0:18:12.679 mental being. You'll get you Like weird books, yes, and 0:18:12.720 --> 0:18:14.600 there were always books that were like this is about 0:18:14.880 --> 0:18:16.919 a Navajo tribe and they'd be like, can we just 0:18:16.920 --> 0:18:18.760 fucking play the game? What are you? What are you doing? 0:18:19.200 --> 0:18:21.200 But I like that Phil was like this odd dude. 0:18:21.240 --> 0:18:24.800 He was, you know, very zen and he uh this 0:18:24.920 --> 0:18:27.199 was weird because I remember a few years prior so 0:18:27.280 --> 0:18:29.399 he left the Lakers after the three p and he 0:18:29.480 --> 0:18:32.439 comes back. He also trashed Kobe in his book and 0:18:32.440 --> 0:18:34.159 then was like all right, I'm back now, and You're like, 0:18:34.200 --> 0:18:36.560 what the hell, what the hell you just trash Kobe 0:18:36.600 --> 0:18:38.480 in your book, but now that but they became good again. 0:18:38.600 --> 0:18:42.680 Clearly a master at managing egos, that's what you would say. 0:18:42.680 --> 0:18:45.639 And winning heals everything. So yeah, I mean the Jordan 0:18:45.720 --> 0:18:49.520 Pippen teams with Rodman, the you know, Shaq and Kobe, 0:18:49.520 --> 0:18:51.919 and then the next the next step was you know, 0:18:52.000 --> 0:18:54.320 Kobe Gasol buying him a lot, a lot of names 0:18:54.320 --> 0:18:57.520 on this. It's pretty crazy that the only place Phil 0:18:57.600 --> 0:19:01.560 couldn't win in is New York. He won, He won 0:19:01.800 --> 0:19:04.199 championships here as a player. He as a player, but 0:19:04.240 --> 0:19:06.439 like when you get into the coaching and like the 0:19:06.640 --> 0:19:11.240 upper division depart minute, like it's it was bad luck. 0:19:11.320 --> 0:19:13.280 You can't even bring in the best coach of the 0:19:13.320 --> 0:19:15.040 history of the game to get you. Well, he was 0:19:15.080 --> 0:19:18.560 in the front office. He was sleeping at the at 0:19:18.600 --> 0:19:21.560 the practices. You'd be watching, you'd see him on ESPN 0:19:21.600 --> 0:19:23.480 and he'd just be like asleep at a practice. I'm like, 0:19:23.840 --> 0:19:26.840 you got him on camera sleeping, What the fuck is 0:19:26.880 --> 0:19:30.880 going on? Yeah, I always will love Action Jackson, Phil Jackson, 0:19:30.920 --> 0:19:34.120 the legend, but uh yeah, he was not the right 0:19:34.760 --> 0:19:37.440 not the right pick for I think he was kind 0:19:37.440 --> 0:19:39.560 of half in on that job half and got paid 0:19:39.560 --> 0:19:41.919 big money. Yeah, big money. All right, I'm gonna be 0:19:41.920 --> 0:19:45.040 in Florida. Hit me up when you need me. So 0:19:45.160 --> 0:19:47.480 this game was Lakers with the number one seed in 0:19:47.520 --> 0:19:49.359 the West, Celtics with the number one in the East. 0:19:49.680 --> 0:19:52.520 The Celtics won this four to two in six games. 0:19:52.560 --> 0:19:56.840 And this was a classic game. It really you know, 0:19:57.320 --> 0:20:00.760 Pierce goes out in the wheel is in, he carried off. 0:20:00.800 --> 0:20:02.399 It was so dramatic. I was like, is this the 0:20:02.440 --> 0:20:04.359 thought he was getting helicoptered off? Oh my god, I 0:20:04.400 --> 0:20:07.320 thought I was watching Platoon. This is crazy. We lost 0:20:07.359 --> 0:20:09.520 a lot of good men out there, and Paul Pierce 0:20:09.560 --> 0:20:11.520 was one of them. After I saw this, but he 0:20:11.680 --> 0:20:14.000 comes back in the wheelchair. It was very you know, 0:20:14.640 --> 0:20:16.560 very dramatic. Or he leaves in the wheelchair. He comes 0:20:16.600 --> 0:20:20.520 back walking obviously, sprinting, sprinting, sprinting, and they're cheering like 0:20:20.600 --> 0:20:23.879 crazy in Boston, going hard any and he hit some 0:20:24.040 --> 0:20:26.880 huge buckets. Ray Allen hit some huge buckets. They were 0:20:26.920 --> 0:20:30.800 down right, they were down for Paul Pierce comes back momentum. 0:20:30.960 --> 0:20:34.080 I think there's a lot there's a lot of speculation. 0:20:34.800 --> 0:20:36.679 Did he poop his pants? Did he shit his pants? 0:20:36.760 --> 0:20:38.479 That's what people I know. People are going like, what 0:20:38.480 --> 0:20:40.159 are you talking about? There's talk that he might have 0:20:40.160 --> 0:20:42.240 pooped his pants, But then I was looking at every 0:20:42.320 --> 0:20:45.000 angle when they were carrying them off and stuff. That 0:20:45.000 --> 0:20:47.920 would have been a hell of a play job, sell job. 0:20:48.080 --> 0:20:49.840 He could have been wearing tight undies though, and they 0:20:49.880 --> 0:20:52.480 could have caught it in maybe white white, but maybe 0:20:52.480 --> 0:20:55.120 it ducked. Maybe a turd ducked out and it was 0:20:55.240 --> 0:20:58.480 captured by the by the pants and it didn't leak out. 0:20:58.760 --> 0:21:01.520 Now I'm telling you from it experience. As a you know, 0:21:01.600 --> 0:21:05.840 professional athlete, you drink so many electrolytes, like to keep 0:21:05.840 --> 0:21:08.480 the fluids in sure that you're getting Hershey squirts, you 0:21:08.520 --> 0:21:11.960 know you're not getting You're not getting full, just turds 0:21:11.960 --> 0:21:15.520 that are fucking like thick, healthy turds. You're getting a 0:21:15.520 --> 0:21:18.760 little squirty action. Have you ever pooped your pants? No? 0:21:18.840 --> 0:21:22.840 I have not pooped my pants. I have not, ah 0:21:23.040 --> 0:21:26.720 not in the game. I may have sharded once, I 0:21:26.720 --> 0:21:33.440 don't Yeah, maybe where I don't know. I'll give you 0:21:33.480 --> 0:21:35.000 a poop a pants story if you can't come, I 0:21:35.040 --> 0:21:37.880 got I got one. You got first grade school bus 0:21:37.920 --> 0:21:41.800 midtown traffic, couldn't hold it in, had to go. I 0:21:41.920 --> 0:21:44.480 was you ship your pants? My pants on the school bus? 0:21:44.480 --> 0:21:46.359 And I remember one of the I just said, I can't, 0:21:46.480 --> 0:21:48.960 I can't last any longer. And I just went. And 0:21:49.000 --> 0:21:51.040 I remember one could go there was no way he 0:21:51.119 --> 0:21:53.160 really went. Another could touch my butt and he goes, 0:21:53.400 --> 0:21:56.280 he's not lying. It was brutal. You know, if I 0:21:56.359 --> 0:21:57.840 was there, I would have shipped my pants too, just 0:21:57.880 --> 0:22:00.960 so people. Really, you would have Billy Madison, Billy Madison, 0:22:01.000 --> 0:22:02.800 do you have new pants? Is cool? They're like no. 0:22:03.200 --> 0:22:05.560 They would have been like, it's not, it's not. Peing 0:22:05.680 --> 0:22:09.280 is okay, but too messy, It's too messy. The things 0:22:09.320 --> 0:22:13.200 we remember, do you remember Paul Pierce in that wheelchair? 0:22:13.560 --> 0:22:17.040 The Big Three? The Lakers Celtics rivalry renewed, and of 0:22:17.080 --> 0:22:23.359 course the game six kg yelling out anything is possible? Incredible. Uh, 0:22:24.080 --> 0:22:26.080 I mean things we may have forgotten. The Celtics tried 0:22:26.119 --> 0:22:28.440 to loure Reggie Miller out of retirement to join this team. 0:22:28.480 --> 0:22:31.320 They did have some og vets they at Eddie House, 0:22:31.560 --> 0:22:35.520 Scott Pollard, Sam Sam Cassell, shout out j Brown too. 0:22:36.119 --> 0:22:39.600 Lakers added Paul Gasol mid season. Paul Gasol was Hall 0:22:39.640 --> 0:22:42.080 of Famer phenomenal player. Is he in the Hall of 0:22:42.119 --> 0:22:44.800 Fame yet? He will be if he's not. Mark Gasol 0:22:45.000 --> 0:22:46.840 was part of the trade for people they didn't know. 0:22:46.880 --> 0:22:49.200 I don't think they knew it was going to be 0:22:49.240 --> 0:22:51.000 Mark yet. I think was a pick that turned out 0:22:51.040 --> 0:22:54.320 to be Mark. Is it savage to be traded for 0:22:54.359 --> 0:22:56.880 your brother? I mean, I'm pretty sure Doc traded his son. 0:22:57.840 --> 0:23:01.320 Didn't he trade his son out of him? Succession level? Shit? 0:23:02.080 --> 0:23:04.640 You trade your own son and then you better win 0:23:04.680 --> 0:23:06.680 the championship if you trade your son. I think my 0:23:06.760 --> 0:23:10.760 dad could trade me. Really yeah, if I wasn't producing, 0:23:11.000 --> 0:23:16.280 my biological father released me already. Hear that. I know 0:23:16.359 --> 0:23:19.240 it works great, Dad's it worked out great for me. 0:23:19.359 --> 0:23:22.439 What do you got, Jack? Yeah? Doc Rivers traded Austin 0:23:22.520 --> 0:23:25.560 Rivers from the Clippers to the Wizards in twenty eighteen. 0:23:25.840 --> 0:23:28.000 Some cold blooded shit. Hey, you gotta do what you 0:23:28.040 --> 0:23:30.440 gotta do, what's best for the team. Okay, son, you're 0:23:30.560 --> 0:23:35.399 you're dead weight. You're going to the Wizards. Uh. The 0:23:35.440 --> 0:23:39.600 Gaming Corner presented by win bet so the prop bet 0:23:39.600 --> 0:23:42.480 how many times can we get Paul to mention Brian Scalabrini. 0:23:42.560 --> 0:23:44.960 That's a good one. What do you think too? It's 0:23:45.600 --> 0:23:47.760 he was like twelve man on that team, but he was. 0:23:48.119 --> 0:23:50.520 I mean, Scalabrini was fun as hell. We all love 0:23:50.560 --> 0:23:53.000 the videos of him fucking up dudes who say they 0:23:53.040 --> 0:23:54.719 could beat him one on one and then seeing how 0:23:54.720 --> 0:23:59.560 good an NBA player is and Scal just fucking them up. Yeah, 0:23:59.560 --> 0:24:02.679 he's always around Boston. Can you think two is a 0:24:02.680 --> 0:24:06.160 good number? Yeah, we could do. I mean I don't. 0:24:07.440 --> 0:24:09.560 I think you'll probably call him like a different nickname 0:24:09.640 --> 0:24:12.520 like scal That's fine. Yeah, I mean we can get 0:24:12.560 --> 0:24:15.879 him to mention him twice, that's good. How many times 0:24:17.000 --> 0:24:21.320 can Julian say? Ain't that the truth? Can we go 0:24:21.359 --> 0:24:24.160 three on that? What do you think? What do you think? Three? Four, 0:24:24.400 --> 0:24:30.080 four five, twenty five? Two point five? Two point five? 0:24:30.119 --> 0:24:32.199 All right? I think said twenty five, Like, man, this 0:24:32.280 --> 0:24:34.480 is gonna be a bad interview. Ain't that the truth? 0:24:35.640 --> 0:24:37.080 At a certain point to just go can you stop 0:24:37.160 --> 0:24:40.920 saying that? Ain't that the truth? Before we hear from 0:24:40.920 --> 0:24:43.840 our guest Paul Pierce, let's take a quick break, and 0:24:43.880 --> 0:24:47.760 we're here on games with names presented by When Bett 0:24:48.240 --> 0:24:55.600 and we're joined by my partner in crime, literally, figuratively, 0:24:56.760 --> 0:25:00.480 in every kind of way you can think.

Yeah, I mean, I know, I miss it already. 0:25:16.280 --> 0:25:19.480 It's fifty and rainy here in New York. Fifty and rainy. 0:25:19.640 --> 0:25:23.200 It's not that bad. Come on, it was York slander 0:25:23.200 --> 0:25:26.240 on this pod. It wasn't too bad. It wasn't too bad. 0:25:26.440 --> 0:25:28.679 We can have two Boston sports legends and you have. 0:25:28.800 --> 0:25:31.280 Have you trash in New York on this podcast?

You did enough to me 0:25:37.280 --> 0:25:41.480 as a Knicks fan, Paul, Come on, I mean, Boston legend, 0:25:41.520 --> 0:25:46.320 ten time All Star, NBA Champ Finals MVP, most importantly 0:25:46.480 --> 0:25:50.959 born in the Bay. Yeah you Bay baby kid. I 0:25:51.000 --> 0:25:56.119 am too.

His numbers hanging in the Rafters 0:26:07.520 --> 0:26:11.480 at the garden they call him the truth? Is that 0:26:11.560 --> 0:26:13.640 the best nickname in the NBA? You think I think 0:26:13.680 --> 0:26:16.959 it is. It's got to be up there. There's some 0:26:17.000 --> 0:26:22.880 good ones, though. The answer is pretty good. The answer magic, Yeah, 0:26:23.040 --> 0:26:29.840 Larry Legend. But look, it's not easy to get a nickname. 0:26:29.920 --> 0:26:32.920 You know, everybody don't got one. If you got a nickname, 0:26:33.119 --> 0:26:35.640 that means you're doing something right. I had to give 0:26:35.680 --> 0:26:40.560 myself a nickname. They call me the Squirrel because I 0:26:40.640 --> 0:26:48.240 like squirrels. So hey, hey, hey, hey, what yeah crazy? 0:26:48.680 --> 0:26:52.399 We got Paul. So you guys are literally partners in crime, 0:26:52.480 --> 0:26:55.880 which you glossed over. But you did both get arrested together, right, No, well, 0:26:56.359 --> 0:27:00.359 technically it was a citizen citation arrest. I mean, you 0:27:00.400 --> 0:27:03.719 can't even hood slide anymore. Starts getting hood should slide. 0:27:03.800 --> 0:27:06.120 I mean, Paul was right there. This I would alwin Paul, 0:27:06.160 --> 0:27:09.120 do you remember it? Duh? I'm gonna tell you this. 0:27:09.720 --> 0:27:12.680 That was the weakest hood slide ever. You didn't even 0:27:12.720 --> 0:27:17.080 make it all as I was like, you like slid 0:27:17.119 --> 0:27:19.880 and then stopped in the middle. I was like, oh nah, 0:27:20.640 --> 0:27:23.639 it was my jeans. There was no slide. There was 0:27:23.680 --> 0:27:26.840 too much friction. I couldn't. Just like in the movies, 0:27:26.880 --> 0:27:30.320 they clearly whax those cars. They're wearing like some kind 0:27:30.320 --> 0:27:34.320 of nylon pant, me wearing straight jeans. Go over there 0:27:34.359 --> 0:27:38.200 and I kind of stuck. Homeboy gets out of car, 0:27:38.840 --> 0:27:43.280 waves down a cop. They start hemming me up. Paul's 0:27:43.320 --> 0:27:45.920 over there. Paul had my back. Though Paul had my back, 0:27:45.960 --> 0:27:47.760 He's like, nah, he get off. He didn't do shit, 0:27:48.080 --> 0:27:52.040 He didn't do shit. Nah. Look it was Look, first 0:27:52.040 --> 0:27:54.440 of all, it was like, all right, we were speck 0:27:54.520 --> 0:27:57.119 at a restaurant doing Remember it was a stick up 0:27:57.280 --> 0:28:00.439 or something. It was a robbery. Yeah, And it was 0:28:00.440 --> 0:28:03.040 like we were stuck at a restaurant, couldn't leave, and 0:28:03.080 --> 0:28:06.120 they were already like twenty five cops like right there anyway, 0:28:06.200 --> 0:28:08.000 were the cops that just hit pumped to meet both 0:28:08.000 --> 0:28:13.800 of you. It was like, uh, I look, I thought 0:28:13.800 --> 0:28:16.040 it was nothing. Dump. I was just like, ah, but 0:28:16.200 --> 0:28:17.880 if you had to I think if you had to, 0:28:18.280 --> 0:28:20.520 if you had to land at the slide, it wouldn't 0:28:20.520 --> 0:28:22.760 have been nothing. But since you scared and stopped, it 0:28:22.800 --> 0:28:26.000 was a thing. That's probably exactly what it was. But 0:28:26.040 --> 0:28:29.320 what he's failing to tell you is we were on 0:28:29.359 --> 0:28:32.399 our way to leave and we couldn't leave the place 0:28:32.440 --> 0:28:34.840 for two and a half hours. So what did we do. 0:28:35.520 --> 0:28:41.040 We just drank tequila all night long. We get done right, 0:28:41.080 --> 0:28:44.040 we think we get out of it scot free. We 0:28:44.200 --> 0:28:46.640 go back to the house. We're over here like, it's 0:28:46.680 --> 0:28:49.600 not on TMZ, it's not out. We're having the best 0:28:49.640 --> 0:28:52.920 night of our life. We go out and we're playing 0:28:53.080 --> 0:28:56.440 one on one basketball at SOHO house. People are over 0:28:56.480 --> 0:28:59.040 here like, what's going on. We're having the times of 0:28:59.080 --> 0:29:02.600 our life. Wake up in the morning to three hundred 0:29:02.600 --> 0:29:09.920 text messages from my agent this that it was welcome 0:29:09.960 --> 0:29:12.680 to the club. Uh, you know, I had my one 0:29:12.760 --> 0:29:17.080 Internet moment, welcome to the club. Hey, I started the club. 0:29:17.200 --> 0:29:19.040 I feel like I feel like Paul versus you and 0:29:19.120 --> 0:29:21.600 basketball is not a fair No, it wasn't. It wasn't 0:29:22.000 --> 0:29:25.720 he was he was. It was bad out about that. 0:29:25.760 --> 0:29:29.160 We're like, no, we're like in the kitchen doing moves 0:29:29.200 --> 0:29:33.360 on each other or something. Remember we were doing that 0:29:33.400 --> 0:29:36.520 at Soho. Remember, like in the middle of the place, 0:29:37.840 --> 0:29:41.240 dunking on like uh, like the the chandeliers and stuff. 0:29:41.400 --> 0:29:43.400 People are sitting here like, is that Paul Pierce and 0:29:43.480 --> 0:29:47.440 Julian Edelman playing basketball without a basketball in a restaurant. 0:29:50.840 --> 0:29:52.400 Uh so, Paul, we want to talk to me. And 0:29:52.440 --> 0:29:55.000 this is like the year the Big Three came together. 0:29:55.360 --> 0:29:58.120 This was kind of like, in my lifetime, kind of 0:29:58.120 --> 0:30:00.320 the first super team. You know, like people we'll talk 0:30:00.320 --> 0:30:02.440 about the Celtics and the sixties being a super team, 0:30:02.600 --> 0:30:05.400 but this was like you were a franchise guy. KG 0:30:05.640 --> 0:30:08.720 was a franchise guy. Ray was a franchise guy. You're 0:30:08.720 --> 0:30:11.000 all kind of around the same age ish, right like 0:30:11.040 --> 0:30:14.360 around thirty ish. We all kind of as a Knicks fan, 0:30:15.160 --> 0:30:17.600 I hated the Celtics, but I respected all you so 0:30:17.720 --> 0:30:22.120 much for just carrying franchises and being loyal to those franchises. 0:30:22.480 --> 0:30:26.200 Like these were trades, These weren't free agency things. We're like, well, 0:30:26.240 --> 0:30:28.240 how jacked up were you to go from the worst 0:30:28.240 --> 0:30:29.920 team in the league to being like, oh shit, we 0:30:29.960 --> 0:30:34.680 have championship hopes. Man. You know, that was an interesting 0:30:34.760 --> 0:30:39.040 summer because we had the worst record and it was 0:30:39.080 --> 0:30:41.080 just like my career was in limbo. It was like, 0:30:41.080 --> 0:30:44.040 I gonna get traded. What are we gonna do? We 0:30:44.160 --> 0:30:46.440 up for the number one pick, and the number one pick, 0:30:46.480 --> 0:30:49.920 as you all know, uh should have been the Ramt, 0:30:49.920 --> 0:30:52.560 but it was Grand Odin and I was just like, 0:30:53.120 --> 0:30:55.440 you know, the subjects are headed in a different direction. 0:30:55.600 --> 0:30:59.239 I'm in like my eighth or ninth year and in 0:30:59.240 --> 0:31:01.640 the middle of a re build, and you know, things 0:31:01.720 --> 0:31:04.600 just we did get the first pick, then the trade 0:31:04.640 --> 0:31:07.080 was made, but for Ray. Then we traded for Kevin, 0:31:07.120 --> 0:31:10.800 and it were just like whoa. It happened so fast 0:31:10.960 --> 0:31:13.520 that it was just like, you know, it was like 0:31:13.600 --> 0:31:17.680 going from a Corolla to a Ferrari night I like those, 0:31:17.920 --> 0:31:20.200 unless Corola wants to sponsor this, in which case your 0:31:20.240 --> 0:31:24.040 cars are awesome as well. But uh no, dude. I 0:31:24.120 --> 0:31:26.680 remember watching that being like, oh, the Celtics are gonna win. 0:31:26.840 --> 0:31:29.880 I remember just thinking like I know, when when stars 0:31:29.920 --> 0:31:32.200 come together, but like you guys fit well together, like 0:31:32.240 --> 0:31:36.280 when Lebron and Wade one reason together dogs every one 0:31:36.320 --> 0:31:39.520 of them were dogs. But when Lebron and Wade go together, 0:31:39.600 --> 0:31:41.600 like they both kind of are like they do kind 0:31:41.600 --> 0:31:45.120 of similar things, you know, whereas like Ray's just this 0:31:45.240 --> 0:31:48.240 great shooter, You're this great scorer. KG is an anchor 0:31:48.240 --> 0:31:50.400 who can score like you. Guys all kind of fit 0:31:50.480 --> 0:31:54.000 different needs, right right. That's why it was like The 0:31:54.040 --> 0:31:56.000 perfect Storm was what we call it. We call it 0:31:56.040 --> 0:31:59.000 the perfect Storm. We had other nicknames that people didn't 0:31:59.000 --> 0:32:02.560 know about. We were not only the Big Three. We 0:32:02.560 --> 0:32:08.680 were called the Holy Trinity. We were called the Perfect Storm. 0:32:09.040 --> 0:32:11.240 So these are nicknames that went under the rug. But 0:32:11.240 --> 0:32:14.360 everybody just chose to use the Big Three the Holy Trinity. 0:32:14.360 --> 0:32:21.760 Can you explain that to two Jewish people please? Right here? Oh, 0:32:22.280 --> 0:32:25.040 thank you, thank you. Half a star of David bab Okay, 0:32:25.080 --> 0:32:29.720 that's half, but uh so, I mean that team was stacked, 0:32:29.760 --> 0:32:32.080 and then you have role players added, guys who are 0:32:32.080 --> 0:32:35.840 like killers, like little young Young Rondo, who's you know, 0:32:36.040 --> 0:32:40.479 a killer? James Posey, Eddie House, big Baby, Tony Allen, 0:32:41.240 --> 0:32:45.040 Tony Allen. People forget damn. He was another one, y'all. 0:32:45.360 --> 0:32:47.320 If we had had a team fight with anybody in 0:32:47.360 --> 0:32:51.640 the league, Perkins, we would have beat everybody up. See dogs, 0:32:52.440 --> 0:32:54.520 And that's and that's a perfect that's a perfect team 0:32:54.600 --> 0:32:57.640 for Boston, you know, just a tough town, you know, 0:32:57.840 --> 0:33:00.640 not that doesn't need to be like bright light, you 0:33:00.680 --> 0:33:04.920 know Broadway shows.

How do you? 0:33:28.560 --> 0:33:33.120 How do you transform though? Born in the Bay, grew 0:33:33.240 --> 0:33:37.000 up in La huge Lakers fan as a kid, and 0:33:37.040 --> 0:33:41.040 then you become probably one of the biggest pieces of 0:33:41.080 --> 0:33:44.400 one of the the Boston Celtics. Like you're you are 0:33:44.560 --> 0:33:49.719 in the rafters, you are a goat of the Celtics. Like, 0:33:49.760 --> 0:33:52.800 how did when you first got there? What were you feeling? Like? 0:33:52.840 --> 0:33:56.440 Were you mixed emotions on this man? It was like 0:33:56.680 --> 0:33:59.600 it was real mixed emotions because but one, I didn't 0:33:59.600 --> 0:34:01.720 even work out for the Celtics. It was just like 0:34:01.760 --> 0:34:04.480 I thought I was gonna be in the top five Celtics. 0:34:04.560 --> 0:34:07.920 Wasn't even on my radar. But then it was just 0:34:08.000 --> 0:34:12.080 like they picked me, and I was just like, man, 0:34:12.200 --> 0:34:14.640 it's hard. You know, you you're happy to get drafted, 0:34:14.719 --> 0:34:16.920 so you in the draft room and you're like, Okay, 0:34:17.239 --> 0:34:19.000 I'm about to be one of the top picks, and 0:34:19.040 --> 0:34:21.680 you're like you're you're happy where you go. But for me, 0:34:21.760 --> 0:34:23.440 when I got picked by the Celtics, it was like 0:34:23.480 --> 0:34:25.479 happy to get drafted. But then it was just like huh. 0:34:26.320 --> 0:34:30.560 It was like uh, it was like almost like that 0:34:30.600 --> 0:34:35.400 fake smile. It was like like what like what just 0:34:35.480 --> 0:34:41.080 happened kind of moment, But because it was just like, damn, 0:34:41.520 --> 0:34:43.879 I'm really gonna find out who my friends are really, 0:34:43.920 --> 0:34:45.759 who gonna really come to the game, and where that 0:34:46.480 --> 0:34:49.640 Celtic jersey being at all my friends are from La. 0:34:50.160 --> 0:34:52.399 You know who's gonna ride or die with your boy 0:34:52.440 --> 0:34:55.880 Pete Peete. So that's when I really found out who 0:34:55.960 --> 0:34:58.799 my true friends was. Did you lose a lot of 0:34:58.840 --> 0:35:03.200 those friends or did you have some day ones? And 0:35:03.400 --> 0:35:06.000 I invited one of my voys to the Laker game, 0:35:06.160 --> 0:35:09.960 right he rolled up in the Kobe jersey. Man, he 0:35:10.040 --> 0:35:14.399 came into Kobe jersey. I could not believe that. That's rough. 0:35:15.360 --> 0:35:17.560 I put him rock in the front wrong, like what, 0:35:19.320 --> 0:35:22.160 oh man, come on man, what are we doing? Thats 0:35:22.280 --> 0:35:25.719 messed up? Oh man? I never gave him any more. 0:35:25.800 --> 0:35:30.719 Tevus to a game. He can't, he's gone, he's banned. Now, yeah, 0:35:30.800 --> 0:35:35.520 what's up with you know obviously Kobe, you got any 0:35:35.560 --> 0:35:42.319 crazy competitive stories of that of that series against him, Man, 0:35:42.840 --> 0:35:47.080 Kobe is always like to call certain people just hand made. 0:35:48.320 --> 0:35:51.200 It was he was different. It was just like you 0:35:51.239 --> 0:35:54.000 couldn't shake him. You couldn't rattle them, if you notice, 0:35:54.040 --> 0:35:55.919 in that series, and they got pictures of this since 0:35:55.920 --> 0:35:59.399 these times me rodn Per getting his face talking ship 0:35:59.480 --> 0:36:03.440 to him and like he's just looking like with this 0:36:03.520 --> 0:36:07.200 real stoic look, like who are y'all? Like, what are y'all? Who? Like, 0:36:07.239 --> 0:36:09.399 what have y'all done? Like? And it was just like, dude, 0:36:09.440 --> 0:36:12.439 you cannot get him out of his game. But then 0:36:12.719 --> 0:36:16.200 like being away from him, away from the game of basketball, 0:36:16.280 --> 0:36:17.799 where I you know, I had a chance to be 0:36:17.840 --> 0:36:22.200 around them quite a few times. Either a total different person, 0:36:22.320 --> 0:36:24.879 you're not. You know, him and Kevin are similar because 0:36:24.880 --> 0:36:27.160 you look at Kevin and people are intimidated by him 0:36:27.200 --> 0:36:31.160 and you see this guy, sweating person and competitive. But 0:36:31.200 --> 0:36:33.440 then off the court, man, it was some of the 0:36:33.520 --> 0:36:35.640 nicest people you want to be around. And it's just 0:36:35.680 --> 0:36:38.680 like it's amazing how they flip the switch from the 0:36:38.800 --> 0:36:43.520 basketball person to this to walk around, you know, Dad, 0:36:44.239 --> 0:36:48.880 in between it's in between the lines, you know, And 0:36:49.160 --> 0:36:51.799 those are the greats. Those those kind of guys had 0:36:51.840 --> 0:36:55.920 to create stories in their head or or manipulate their 0:36:56.000 --> 0:36:58.520 mind to get the best kind of play. I was, 0:36:58.600 --> 0:37:03.680 you know, I get that. That's how mommies, you know, Tom, Like, dude, 0:37:05.160 --> 0:37:06.560 you don't have to be mad at the kid in 0:37:06.600 --> 0:37:10.200 eighth grade that started over you in basketball. I think 0:37:10.200 --> 0:37:13.600 you're doing but you do because that's still mad about it, 0:37:13.640 --> 0:37:15.759 and he he still will probably try to fight this 0:37:15.840 --> 0:37:18.240 guy or compete against the sea. And you see Jordan's 0:37:18.239 --> 0:37:20.439 Hall of Fame speech, He's like, still mad at dudes 0:37:20.440 --> 0:37:24.040 where were Like, you're Michael Jordan, you did okay. But 0:37:24.080 --> 0:37:25.960 it's what fuels the greats, I think is like you 0:37:26.040 --> 0:37:29.799 hold on the ship, you know. Similarities in the two 0:37:29.840 --> 0:37:33.120 and those are the grades of the Mount Rushmore of sports. 0:37:33.200 --> 0:37:36.759 And they share a lot of exciting characteristics. They do 0:37:36.880 --> 0:37:39.000 the same, They share a lot of the same characteristics 0:37:39.080 --> 0:37:42.080 to women. I date, they can't get over things there 0:37:42.360 --> 0:37:47.480 uh no. Uh but uh so this I have to 0:37:47.480 --> 0:37:49.360 say as a hoops fan, just as someone who loves 0:37:49.400 --> 0:37:52.319 and respects basketball players. I'm happy that it seems like 0:37:52.320 --> 0:37:55.520 you guys patch stuff up with Ray Allen. That was 0:37:55.640 --> 0:37:57.520 just it bummed me out as a sports fan because 0:37:57.760 --> 0:38:01.240 left us bro Yeah, left us. It was a tough breakup. 0:38:01.320 --> 0:38:04.360 But you know, as we all know, time hills wounds. 0:38:04.360 --> 0:38:07.000 And I'm happy that he was able to tend kg's 0:38:07.320 --> 0:38:10.719 retirement ceremony and uh we can do it in front 0:38:10.719 --> 0:38:13.640 of our national crowd and they can see that. You know, 0:38:13.880 --> 0:38:16.120 you know, the beef is over. You know we did 0:38:16.160 --> 0:38:19.960 something special together, and uh we'll always be faundly. But 0:38:20.120 --> 0:38:22.640 but you know what I love about Boston sports, you know, 0:38:22.800 --> 0:38:28.160 like me and and l and you know Big Poppy 0:38:28.239 --> 0:38:30.000 is just like when you play in Boston, it's like 0:38:30.040 --> 0:38:32.760 we family because we all go to each other games, 0:38:33.440 --> 0:38:36.319 we all support each other. I don't really see that 0:38:36.360 --> 0:38:38.680 in other cities. I think, you know, especially La people 0:38:38.719 --> 0:38:40.440 go to the case to be seen. It was just 0:38:40.480 --> 0:38:42.839 like my spot one of them out. I'm like, well, 0:38:42.880 --> 0:38:45.480 so it's like we've known each other for years and 0:38:45.600 --> 0:38:48.640 it's just it's it's like something about the board Boston 0:38:48.800 --> 0:38:53.600 sports family. It's like one big family. For example, like 0:38:53.800 --> 0:38:55.760 me and me Paul knew of each other We probably 0:38:55.760 --> 0:38:58.120 saw each other at events and stuff, but it wasn't 0:38:58.200 --> 0:39:04.120 until I got arrested when we bonded. That was when 0:39:04.120 --> 0:39:08.280 we really bonded. Recreate this in Boston because no Boston 0:39:08.320 --> 0:39:10.160 cop is going to touch either of you. Now, that's 0:39:10.160 --> 0:39:12.920 how you recreate it can't but you can't. But so 0:39:13.000 --> 0:39:16.040 let's let's shift to this game. Game one. We know 0:39:16.120 --> 0:39:18.279 it is the wheelchair game. We know it is Paul 0:39:18.400 --> 0:39:21.319 leaving the game incredible. There's a lot of story. Are 0:39:21.360 --> 0:39:23.920 you smiling? Maybe you might have heard some of the rumors, Paul? 0:39:24.000 --> 0:39:27.200 Why are you smiling? Paul? It was an iconic moment, 0:39:27.560 --> 0:39:32.400 you know. So you know, people don't have their various 0:39:32.440 --> 0:39:36.200 stories about it, and that's fine. People are going to 0:39:36.239 --> 0:39:39.480 create their own narrative. Do you think the pooping the 0:39:39.520 --> 0:39:42.600 pants rumor helps or hurts the mythos of the of 0:39:42.640 --> 0:39:46.920 the series? I mean, they trying to put a black 0:39:47.000 --> 0:39:51.960 mark on it. Everybody, come on, So I looked at 0:39:52.000 --> 0:39:55.080 every TV angle that you possibly could. You guys were 0:39:55.080 --> 0:39:58.760 wearing the white unis okay, And as a professional athlete, 0:39:58.760 --> 0:40:02.040 I know we have to has so many electrolytes that 0:40:02.080 --> 0:40:05.440 when you ship there's gonna be some squirting, so you 0:40:05.440 --> 0:40:07.960 would have saw a squirt mark. He did not ship 0:40:08.040 --> 0:40:13.160 his fucking pants, Guys, his pants. He hurts me, and 0:40:13.200 --> 0:40:16.719 then he miraculously came out and fucking scored and won 0:40:16.760 --> 0:40:18.480 the game for him. We're gonna watch this like the 0:40:18.560 --> 0:40:21.279 JFK tapes to make sure this didn't happen. But no 0:40:22.600 --> 0:40:25.279 around and on the ground. If I did, like who 0:40:25.280 --> 0:40:29.200 does that, wouldn't that be kind of disgusting. I'm glad 0:40:29.239 --> 0:40:31.600 that we were clearing this up. Okay, this is coming 0:40:31.640 --> 0:40:34.040 from him, guys. He would not lie to me. No, 0:40:34.440 --> 0:40:38.520 the only shit that I did was on the Lakers exactly. 0:40:40.080 --> 0:40:42.120 You come back and you guys are down for right, 0:40:42.239 --> 0:40:44.279 so you come back in the game down for What 0:40:44.320 --> 0:40:48.600 are you thinking? Man, I'm just feeling the energy from 0:40:48.600 --> 0:40:51.400 the crowd. You know. I get to the back, I 0:40:51.440 --> 0:40:54.000 put the knee brace on my knee is kind of loose, 0:40:54.440 --> 0:41:00.120 and the diagnostis the injury was a straight maniscus. We 0:41:00.120 --> 0:41:02.680 can clear it up, which it was for the whole series, 0:41:03.160 --> 0:41:06.600 and you know people do that in sports, but then 0:41:06.640 --> 0:41:10.840 you can still play on it, especially gentlemen. Yeah, I 0:41:10.840 --> 0:41:12.839 mean it's the finals. I'm like, I might not ever 0:41:12.880 --> 0:41:16.440 get this opportunity again. I'm coming off, I'm feeding off 0:41:16.440 --> 0:41:19.359 the crowd, and I'm like, I need to get back 0:41:19.360 --> 0:41:21.319 in this game. Because if you notice, I didn't even 0:41:21.360 --> 0:41:23.880 sit down when I came back. I went like straight 0:41:23.960 --> 0:41:26.879 to the straight to the score table to check right 0:41:26.880 --> 0:41:31.239 back in and the dreddler was there, and I was 0:41:31.280 --> 0:41:34.080 just like, I gotta be out here, and you know, 0:41:34.239 --> 0:41:37.319 then Rondo got me going, we got we got the ball, 0:41:38.080 --> 0:41:40.200 pushing it on the brake, I'm open from three. I 0:41:40.320 --> 0:41:42.200 just was like, I was just like, I'm gonna let 0:41:42.200 --> 0:41:45.719 it ride. And then the momentum just shifted, and h 0:41:47.080 --> 0:41:49.680 that was an amazing feeling, because you know, they were 0:41:50.560 --> 0:41:52.319 they were a tough team. When you got Kobe Bryant, 0:41:52.360 --> 0:41:55.200 the all time great, one of the greatest to ever 0:41:55.280 --> 0:41:58.359 do it on one side, and everybody knows when you've 0:41:58.360 --> 0:42:02.200 got a player of that caliber, anything happened, you know. 0:42:02.560 --> 0:42:06.080 And we're in Boston, so we can't lose at home. Man, 0:42:06.160 --> 0:42:08.640 come on to the Lakers and they, you know, gasol 0:42:08.760 --> 0:42:10.719 owed them. It is a tough LA team that you're 0:42:10.760 --> 0:42:12.960 going against. Do you think this shifted the momentum for 0:42:13.000 --> 0:42:14.920 the whole series? Like you coming in, it seemed like 0:42:14.920 --> 0:42:18.279 you guys had so much momentum after that. Well, yeah, 0:42:18.440 --> 0:42:21.360 because like when I rewatch it, it's like, if I'm hurting, 0:42:21.360 --> 0:42:24.000 I'm out for the series. You got to understand. Out 0:42:24.000 --> 0:42:25.600 of the when I went down, the air out of 0:42:25.640 --> 0:42:29.000 the building left. So it's like, dang, if Paul Pierce 0:42:29.120 --> 0:42:31.680 is done for the series or out for any amount 0:42:31.680 --> 0:42:36.680 of time, the chances of us being the Lakers goes down. 0:42:37.520 --> 0:42:42.680 And so when I come back, that momentum to be like, Oh, 0:42:42.920 --> 0:42:46.319 he's out there, he's playing, he's not injury. We got him, 0:42:46.360 --> 0:42:52.080 We were back, We're back forming bull Tron. Man, it 0:42:52.200 --> 0:42:54.520 gave the city and the fans so much of a 0:42:54.600 --> 0:42:56.279 lift to know that I was going to be back 0:42:56.360 --> 0:42:58.759 and I was out there that it just carried over 0:42:58.800 --> 0:43:03.400 for the rest of the series. Yeah. Well, Paul, we 0:43:03.800 --> 0:43:05.920 have a note here that you refer to yourself as 0:43:05.920 --> 0:43:10.880 the Rodney Dangerfield of basketball. Did this put some respect 0:43:10.960 --> 0:43:14.399 on your name after this? Ain't that the truth? Yeah? Man, 0:43:14.880 --> 0:43:17.880 just no respect, you know, and that's all good. Hey, 0:43:17.920 --> 0:43:21.839 everybody came where you know, you know, some of us 0:43:21.880 --> 0:43:24.160 got to wear the black hat, and I'm fine with that. 0:43:24.920 --> 0:43:29.200 You know, Hey, Paul, haters are gonna hate. Players are 0:43:29.200 --> 0:43:32.440 gonna play. Like Taylor Swift said, you just gotta shake 0:43:32.480 --> 0:43:38.839 it off, shake it off. You know it? Man? Man, 0:43:38.880 --> 0:43:40.960 I love y'all set up in there. Man, what y'all got? 0:43:40.960 --> 0:43:43.960 What's on that won? Right? We got everything. We need 0:43:43.960 --> 0:43:46.000 a picture of you. If you sent a signed jersey, 0:43:46.000 --> 0:43:50.680 we'll fucking put you right right up here. Look, look, 0:43:50.719 --> 0:43:57.680 we need to put that picture of me you from 0:43:57.719 --> 0:44:00.759 that night Jack Sam, can we get that done? We 0:44:01.040 --> 0:44:04.239 are definitely going to put that up there. I love it. 0:44:03.520 --> 0:44:07.160 It's you. Remember that though that we thought we got 0:44:07.160 --> 0:44:13.080 away Scott Free. No one knew it. What was what 0:44:13.160 --> 0:44:16.040 was the big ticket? Like as a motivator like I 0:44:16.280 --> 0:44:19.680 just as a spectator, his energy just seemed insane. He 0:44:19.760 --> 0:44:21.160 just seemed like a dude I would want to go 0:44:21.160 --> 0:44:25.239 to war with. Was he just amazing in huddles? I 0:44:25.239 --> 0:44:28.239 mean not only huddles, but I'm talking about practice. Right 0:44:28.360 --> 0:44:30.840 when you come to practice, I know all the young guys, 0:44:31.360 --> 0:44:33.879 but if KG walk into the locker room, we better 0:44:33.960 --> 0:44:36.319 not see none of the young guys sitting down at 0:44:36.360 --> 0:44:39.520 the locker. They better be in the way room. They 0:44:39.560 --> 0:44:41.880 better be either in the training room or on the 0:44:41.880 --> 0:44:47.400 court getting some pre pre practice shots up. You know 0:44:47.400 --> 0:44:51.040 what I'm saying, Well, eating a loud for no lolly gagging, 0:44:51.840 --> 0:44:53.719 and and it was just like, man, let me tell 0:44:53.719 --> 0:44:56.440 you this one story. So this is pre season. The 0:44:56.520 --> 0:45:02.400 season after started, so KG, everybody's in town like September. 0:45:02.480 --> 0:45:06.480 We all playing pickup games and one of the rookie 0:45:06.480 --> 0:45:09.040 didn't have his shoes, so he looking around. He grabbed 0:45:09.040 --> 0:45:12.880 a pair of KG shoes right, and he balled in 0:45:13.000 --> 0:45:16.360 them for the pickup game. So KG gets to the gym, 0:45:16.400 --> 0:45:22.080 he like, where are my shoes at? And I'm looking like, oh, yeah, 0:45:22.200 --> 0:45:25.719 no the rookie didn't put him back. Oh this is 0:45:25.760 --> 0:45:31.319 gonna be bad. Man. Let me tell you that was 0:45:31.360 --> 0:45:34.040 the worst year for this guy. And then I think 0:45:34.040 --> 0:45:39.279 he eventually got traded. I mean he was on K. 0:45:39.520 --> 0:45:42.040 You don't want to be on KG bad side. That's 0:45:42.040 --> 0:45:44.880 a like, don't grab somebody else's shoes because it's a 0:45:44.880 --> 0:45:47.120 lot of guys wear the same size, but don't grab 0:45:47.280 --> 0:45:49.319 at G shoes And he come in looking for them 0:45:49.400 --> 0:45:52.600 and you got them on, Like, come on, isn't it. 0:45:53.239 --> 0:45:56.279 Isn't this the National Basketball Association? Don't we have like 0:45:56.400 --> 0:46:00.000 shoes galore in our locker? Rooms. That's what I'm saying. 0:46:00.280 --> 0:46:02.000 This rookie. I don't know what he thought. He just 0:46:02.080 --> 0:46:05.680 was like, I'm gonna grab KG shoes like anybody kgs 0:46:06.480 --> 0:46:12.680 Why that's like basically like taking Deebo's chain, just ganking chain, 0:46:12.880 --> 0:46:15.759 saying nah, that's that's not gonna happen. I remember we 0:46:15.760 --> 0:46:22.040 were together and he facetimed KG and I can't really 0:46:22.320 --> 0:46:24.280 I don't remember what he said, but I just remember 0:46:24.320 --> 0:46:26.040 the feelings I had. I wanted to run through the 0:46:26.040 --> 0:46:29.879 fucking phone like he motivated me where I was like, dude, 0:46:29.960 --> 0:46:32.439 let's go, let's go do something right now, like let's 0:46:32.440 --> 0:46:34.719 go fucking I want to play basketball. I don't even 0:46:34.719 --> 0:46:37.120 know how to play basketball, but I'll fucking go play 0:46:37.120 --> 0:46:38.920 with this guy. No, it's on it's on the record. 0:46:39.000 --> 0:46:42.239 Taking KG shoes is the equivalent of killing John Wick's dog. 0:46:42.440 --> 0:46:45.480 That's basically where we're at. Straight up, you just don't 0:46:45.480 --> 0:46:51.759 do it. Absolutely not so so this series, like when 0:46:51.800 --> 0:46:54.279 you win this series, because I mean, we're talking about 0:46:54.320 --> 0:46:56.720 this game, but it's really this series, because this was epic. 0:46:56.840 --> 0:46:58.680 This was I mean, you think it's good for basketball 0:46:58.719 --> 0:47:01.600 to have the rivalries. And I remember after that championship. 0:47:01.640 --> 0:47:03.800 You said you feel like the best player in the league. 0:47:04.160 --> 0:47:05.839 And what I mean did you feel that way where 0:47:05.880 --> 0:47:07.640 You're like, was that just like talking ship?

For sure, 0:47:49.960 --> 0:47:52.160 I'm saying. So, I'm like when people saying, like, what 0:47:52.320 --> 0:47:56.480 is he talking about? Man speaks truth? You want to 0:47:56.560 --> 0:48:01.600 call him the truth and the truth. Hey, we got 0:48:01.600 --> 0:48:04.759 a picture Red our bock up here.

And 0:48:20.560 --> 0:48:22.560 I sit in the locker room, I put my socks 0:48:22.560 --> 0:48:24.319 on I'm getting ready to warm up and while you 0:48:24.360 --> 0:48:26.560 start smelling the cigar, and I'm just like, okay, Red 0:48:26.640 --> 0:48:29.160 is here. He was the only one in the NBA 0:48:29.200 --> 0:48:33.360 I was allowed to smoke a cigar indoors. You watching 0:48:33.400 --> 0:48:36.600 that Showtime Show or the Have you seen that at all? 0:48:37.239 --> 0:48:38.960 I haven't watched it yet. I've been hearing about it. 0:48:39.000 --> 0:48:41.080 You've been watching it. It's pretty fun. It's fun. You'll 0:48:41.080 --> 0:48:45.719 probably love it because it's you know, that's your generation ship. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:48:45.800 --> 0:48:47.719 I want to check it out. I've been waiting for 0:48:47.800 --> 0:48:49.759 it to end so I could just kind of like 0:48:49.840 --> 0:48:52.760 binge watch it. But I heard it some good stuff 0:48:52.760 --> 0:48:57.080 in there. I heard it's entertaining. It's entertaining. It's entertaining. 0:48:57.080 --> 0:48:59.960 Some liberties are taking I think they do Jerry West 0:49:00.120 --> 0:49:02.480 little dirty. But then Jerry West saying he'll take this 0:49:02.520 --> 0:49:05.000 to the Supreme Court is exactly what Jerry West and 0:49:05.080 --> 0:49:07.080 that show would have done, so he's got to not 0:49:07.200 --> 0:49:10.200 say that. But uh, but they do Jerry West a 0:49:10.200 --> 0:49:12.040 little dirty in the show. Jerry's a legend. You can't 0:49:12.080 --> 0:49:13.920 you can't do him dirty like that. But yeah, it's 0:49:14.000 --> 0:49:18.319 worth a watch. Yeah, I gotta check that out. So 0:49:19.480 --> 0:49:23.359 red Aarbach. Any other early Celtics memories, because I mean, 0:49:23.400 --> 0:49:26.160 I remember those early days. I loved watching you guys 0:49:26.160 --> 0:49:29.120 with Antoine Walker and Kenny Anderson. Those were fun teams. 0:49:29.239 --> 0:49:33.040 Or any memories of those teams, Oh man, I loved 0:49:33.120 --> 0:49:36.880 playing with that team. Antwine, me and Twine Man. People 0:49:36.960 --> 0:49:39.560 forget that me and him used to shoot threes like 0:49:39.560 --> 0:49:43.880 they shoot now. It was like Twan used to shoot 0:49:43.880 --> 0:49:46.440 ten threes a game and people was like criticizing them 0:49:46.440 --> 0:49:49.960 for but I'm like, that's the norm now, That's what 0:49:50.040 --> 0:49:53.680 the big men are doing though, And he's my favorite 0:49:53.760 --> 0:49:56.879 quote from an Twine was like, well he said when 0:49:56.880 --> 0:49:59.719 they asked them, why do you shoot so many three 0:49:59.760 --> 0:50:03.040 poin and as you know what he said, because they 0:50:03.040 --> 0:50:09.839 don't have four pointers. After after, you guys, go beat 0:50:09.840 --> 0:50:14.600 these dudes up and beat l A, Boston l A. 0:50:16.280 --> 0:50:22.120 How was the celebration? I was a parade. The parade 0:50:22.239 --> 0:50:28.160 was lit. I remember, uh we were where was we at? Man? 0:50:28.280 --> 0:50:32.000 We were having drinks and the champagne. And I remember 0:50:32.000 --> 0:50:34.880 getting on the dug boat and were riding around the 0:50:34.920 --> 0:50:38.160 city and I had a cigar and I don't I don't, 0:50:38.600 --> 0:50:41.040 I would never I don't think I was smoking cigars 0:50:41.080 --> 0:50:44.000 at the time, and I just remember like I got 0:50:44.040 --> 0:50:46.520 a hairbrush and I went back into the dug boat 0:50:46.560 --> 0:50:53.960 and threw up like it was crazy, but it was 0:50:54.000 --> 0:50:56.919 that was that was that was a time right there. Man. 0:50:56.960 --> 0:50:59.080 I mean, it's nothing like going around the city. You 0:50:59.120 --> 0:51:05.120 see people hanging out the windows street lands. Oh man, 0:51:07.040 --> 0:51:09.400 So you guys pretty much revolutionized. You guys are the 0:51:09.440 --> 0:51:13.880 original super team. Well you' it's arguable that that's you 0:51:13.960 --> 0:51:18.440 guys are the reason Lebron did it, right. Yeah, Unfortunately 0:51:18.520 --> 0:51:21.160 we started something crazy and then as you see after 0:51:21.200 --> 0:51:25.120 that Lebron that you've seen the Golden State Wars, they 0:51:25.160 --> 0:51:28.000 took it to the next level with super teams. They 0:51:28.040 --> 0:51:32.000 went super super team on everybody. Yeah, we started a trend. 0:51:32.040 --> 0:51:34.239 But you know, I think you know, the balance of 0:51:34.320 --> 0:51:38.000 power is back, but you know, we we we started 0:51:38.000 --> 0:51:40.160 a trend at the time that it was like, wow, 0:51:40.320 --> 0:51:42.799 what did we create in the NBA? What did we do? 0:51:44.040 --> 0:51:46.480 But it was fun. It was fun when their favorite 0:51:46.520 --> 0:51:49.880 players played together were what that looked like? And uh, 0:51:50.040 --> 0:51:51.920 you know, I'm happy that I had a chance to 0:51:52.000 --> 0:51:54.640 play with two all time greats. You guys are kind 0:51:54.640 --> 0:51:58.120 of like social media you know, you guys invented something. 0:51:58.120 --> 0:52:00.000 Everyone's like, oh, this is great. We get to internet 0:52:00.200 --> 0:52:02.920 with friends from twenty years ago. And then also we 0:52:03.000 --> 0:52:07.359 give people that have an opinion. Everyone gets an opinion now, 0:52:07.680 --> 0:52:10.120 and everyone's gonna hate on you and everyone, you know 0:52:10.160 --> 0:52:11.719 what I mean. So you guys are, but they didn't 0:52:11.760 --> 0:52:13.319 get you guys didn't get the hate for I think 0:52:13.360 --> 0:52:15.799 other reasons. I think like you guys had all kind 0:52:15.840 --> 0:52:18.759 of carried franchise that weren't winning on your own, and 0:52:18.800 --> 0:52:20.560 I think people wanted to think it is the way 0:52:20.640 --> 0:52:24.120 we came together was different. You know. It was to pray, 0:52:24.360 --> 0:52:26.239 you know now it was like, oh, I'm a free agent. 0:52:26.280 --> 0:52:28.120 I'm gonna go play over there with them. We lest 0:52:28.160 --> 0:52:31.000 create our all ours kind of like had to be manufactured, 0:52:31.960 --> 0:52:36.600 you know, it had to be organically done. It was 0:52:36.680 --> 0:52:40.719 just like everybody else was just like put together. They 0:52:40.719 --> 0:52:43.279 had the pieces that they just put together and went 0:52:43.360 --> 0:52:46.600 over here. Oh they were given they were given kg 0:52:46.800 --> 0:52:49.560 no help in Minnesota at all. I mean watching him 0:52:49.560 --> 0:52:51.920 play at that intensity on a team where they just 0:52:51.960 --> 0:52:54.279 weren't giving him weapons was tough to watch. You know, 0:52:55.160 --> 0:53:00.720 how would you guys been nowadays? What me and Kevin, 0:53:01.080 --> 0:53:04.879 how would this team do in this generation? Oh man, 0:53:04.920 --> 0:53:07.600 we're gonna crush this era. Come on, man, we got 0:53:07.600 --> 0:53:11.879 the shooting, we got indoors, we got inside gay outside game, 0:53:11.960 --> 0:53:16.440 my game perfect with this Asda's Kevin and SODA's Ray. Yeah, 0:53:17.200 --> 0:53:20.280 I'm watching Ray, watching Ray do some of these shots. 0:53:20.640 --> 0:53:22.919 He didn't shoot the volume of threes that you see 0:53:22.960 --> 0:53:25.640 guys shooting out. Neither of you. It was a different game. 0:53:25.680 --> 0:53:28.920 But like if you guys were jacking threes, I totally agree. 0:53:28.920 --> 0:53:31.239 I think this team would be so good in the 0:53:31.280 --> 0:53:34.000 modern embody. We would adjust with this error because we 0:53:34.040 --> 0:53:36.680 all was you know, Ray was really good through poet shooters, 0:53:36.719 --> 0:53:39.600 because shoot. By the time I went out into my career, 0:53:39.680 --> 0:53:42.279 I was fourced all time at three pointers base, which 0:53:42.280 --> 0:53:44.920 a lot of people didn't know, and Ray was was first. 0:53:45.160 --> 0:53:47.600 So if you want to talk about playing in this 0:53:47.760 --> 0:53:51.719 are we would have did just fine. You could. I 0:53:51.840 --> 0:53:53.840 just always remember I would always go to the games 0:53:53.880 --> 0:53:56.920 and see Paul playing sit on the court, and he'd 0:53:56.960 --> 0:54:01.320 always just have the nastiest grimey finishes guy on him 0:54:01.400 --> 0:54:04.960 and wond them. Then he started talking that shit, give 0:54:05.000 --> 0:54:08.640 a fucking give one of these to the crowd, crowds 0:54:08.680 --> 0:54:13.160 going pee pee pee. It was just you know what, 0:54:13.200 --> 0:54:15.040 I don't see. I don't see the emotion from the 0:54:15.040 --> 0:54:19.560 players like that. No more, man, I don't s I 0:54:19.719 --> 0:54:22.000 like when you know, you know, when guys getting all 0:54:22.200 --> 0:54:24.440 getting the crowded too. It the crowd feel that they 0:54:24.480 --> 0:54:27.799 feed off of that. Everyone. John Moran seems like he's 0:54:27.840 --> 0:54:29.680 bringing some of that energy back. He plays with a 0:54:29.680 --> 0:54:31.840 lot of energy. I think, who are guys that are 0:54:31.840 --> 0:54:33.880 you watching now? Who you're like? Oh? I like that 0:54:33.960 --> 0:54:36.120 dude a lot. He would have been great in my error? 0:54:36.160 --> 0:54:41.120 Who are dudes like that? Man? Giannis ante tacunpo? He 0:54:41.280 --> 0:54:45.680 is straight mean the way he dunck on people in 0:54:45.719 --> 0:54:48.680 the flexes, muscles and just be looking with that ground. 0:54:48.760 --> 0:54:52.880 He'd be like, whoa holdroll vic Bella, he's me. He 0:54:52.920 --> 0:54:56.120 can play in the air. He monster too. That euro 0:54:56.200 --> 0:55:02.680 step Yeah that's unreal. Who anyone else? Let me see, 0:55:03.160 --> 0:55:07.600 I'm gonna say, of course, Lebron he can play in 0:55:07.600 --> 0:55:11.759 any era. Went tough, but like that intensive we talked 0:55:11.760 --> 0:55:14.719 about the intense think about with young Westbrook, him young 0:55:14.760 --> 0:55:19.120 with Oklahoma City Westbrook, Yeah, that was different. How do 0:55:19.160 --> 0:55:21.279 you feel about how disrespected he got this year. I 0:55:21.320 --> 0:55:24.120 feel like he really got. He was made the scapegoat 0:55:24.120 --> 0:55:27.839 for Los Angeles. I don't think it was really fair. Yeah, 0:55:27.840 --> 0:55:30.440 I don't think it's he looking for a scapegot. But 0:55:30.480 --> 0:55:32.600 there's a lot of people that that's the blank for this. 0:55:32.800 --> 0:55:35.360 But at the end of the day, Westbrook is an 0:55:35.400 --> 0:55:39.480 all time great player, don't you remember top seventy five, 0:55:39.600 --> 0:55:41.920 and so you know La always looking the point that 0:55:41.920 --> 0:55:43.920 they had, always got to point the finger at somebody. 0:55:44.000 --> 0:55:49.160 So he was the scapegoat exactly. Well, Paul, thank you 0:55:49.200 --> 0:55:52.760 so much for joining us. Man. Anything we missed about 0:55:52.760 --> 0:55:55.239 this game before before we wrap up, anything about this 0:55:55.360 --> 0:55:57.440 series that you want to add before we go, And 0:55:57.520 --> 0:56:00.239 last confirmation, it was not a shit guys. It's not 0:56:00.560 --> 0:56:03.239 all you fucking people in here. Everyone in this we 0:56:03.320 --> 0:56:04.600 had a hope, We have a whole We have like 0:56:04.600 --> 0:56:07.399 a little stand of people. They're always here talking about like, hey, 0:56:07.440 --> 0:56:10.160 I think penned so I'm like, nah, he would never 0:56:10.160 --> 0:56:13.120 sh his pants. It's Paul Pierce. Man. Everybody just mad 0:56:13.200 --> 0:56:15.879 that we beat they you know, favorite team, that song, 0:56:15.960 --> 0:56:18.160 you know, Boston, we wanted that, We wanted the more 0:56:18.200 --> 0:56:22.279 hated sports cities anyway, because we win so much. So 0:56:22.680 --> 0:56:24.799 you know that's just what it's gonna be. And I'm 0:56:24.840 --> 0:56:28.799 cool with that. Everyone can't be winners. Yeah, come on now, 0:56:29.239 --> 0:56:32.880 you know it's but the NIX will rise again. Uh, 0:56:33.000 --> 0:56:38.080 not in our lifetime, buddy, Not in our lifetime, Paul, 0:56:38.080 --> 0:56:39.600 I gotta hit you up when I get out there. 0:56:39.640 --> 0:56:41.640 I'll be out there soon. We gotta get up. We 0:56:41.880 --> 0:56:44.239 I mean, we always say it. Can we fucking do 0:56:44.280 --> 0:56:47.359 this now? Or what?

Always hit me up 0:56:56.120 --> 0:56:59.319 if you ever need anything. All right, my boy? All right, bro, 0:57:00.239 --> 0:57:06.839 he's wow. Paul Pierce legend, no filter there, he's I mean, 0:57:07.320 --> 0:57:11.200 he's awesome. The truth. I knew it was gonna be 0:57:11.200 --> 0:57:13.640 a great interview when he rolled up with a hookah. 0:57:13.719 --> 0:57:17.480 That's the hookahs. Probably why we failed on the prop bets, 0:57:17.600 --> 0:57:20.200 because we were probably distracted by the swag to come 0:57:20.240 --> 0:57:23.960 on here pool side with chocolate mint hookah. I mean 0:57:24.240 --> 0:57:26.800 chocolate mint more of a great mint hookah. I got 0:57:26.840 --> 0:57:29.560 myself great mint. Great men. I don't know why, but 0:57:29.600 --> 0:57:32.320 when you go like, I got some friends and they're 0:57:32.360 --> 0:57:37.000 from like Europe, and people from Europe love hookah, yeah, 0:57:37.480 --> 0:57:40.040 or like Israel, a lot of hookah like hookers are 0:57:40.040 --> 0:57:47.760 there there hookers? Yeah? No, yeah, I did, but they 0:57:47.800 --> 0:57:51.200 always mix a fruit with mint and it actually it's 0:57:51.200 --> 0:57:54.400 pretty good. It's pretty good. Not gonna lie that. It 0:57:54.400 --> 0:57:56.520 takes me back to when I had a fake ID 0:57:56.800 --> 0:57:58.959 or even pre fake id'ed. That was like the place 0:57:58.960 --> 0:58:02.880 that wouldn't card you to get booze. Yeah, who's classic, 0:58:03.400 --> 0:58:05.160 And I mean that's like a power move to have 0:58:05.200 --> 0:58:08.000 it in your house. I got. I got a couple 0:58:08.000 --> 0:58:09.840 of hookahs. You have hookah at home. I had a 0:58:09.840 --> 0:58:12.760 friend that's we houkahed one time and they sent a 0:58:12.840 --> 0:58:16.080 me a hookah. It's a badass hookah too. It's just 0:58:16.120 --> 0:58:19.640 a fun thing to have around, like to socialize with. 0:58:20.200 --> 0:58:22.200 People love it. You get your own little hose. Everyone 0:58:22.200 --> 0:58:24.920 has their little cap so we keep it COVID friendly. 0:58:25.560 --> 0:58:28.680 You get to mix up different like flavors. You try 0:58:28.680 --> 0:58:30.680 to explain how you got COVID to your wife. It 0:58:30.760 --> 0:58:34.560 was from a hookah. I got it from a hookah. 0:58:34.640 --> 0:58:39.920 What was that we failed to get Paul to mention 0:58:40.120 --> 0:58:43.560 Brian Scalabrini at all. That was that was on us. 0:58:44.080 --> 0:58:46.560 Did we get did we get? They? Ain't that the truth? Jack? 0:58:46.880 --> 0:58:48.640 I think we ended up under we only had two 0:58:48.680 --> 0:58:52.560 and a half or two? Yeah we had two? Yeah 0:58:53.280 --> 0:58:58.160 that's weak. Who was Was this the beginning of the 0:58:58.200 --> 0:59:01.800 Super Team era? I'd say absolute? Yeah, I mean this 0:59:01.880 --> 0:59:05.560 is what started at NBA. Danny Ainge, you know, whatever 0:59:05.600 --> 0:59:06.880 you think of him, he was. He was a good 0:59:06.880 --> 0:59:10.280 GM for Boston. I like Danny Age. I got to 0:59:10.280 --> 0:59:12.480 hang around him a little bit when I was with 0:59:12.560 --> 0:59:16.240 the Celtics for a while. You could just tell he's 0:59:16.240 --> 0:59:20.080 a competitive guy. Does anything. He's an old school guy 0:59:20.960 --> 0:59:24.880 that like probably it took he had to go to 0:59:24.880 --> 0:59:26.800 the long road, the herd. He was just always like 0:59:26.960 --> 0:59:29.120 a tough You could just tell whenever he was talking 0:59:29.160 --> 0:59:32.440 to guys he was competitive. You know, would you remember 0:59:32.480 --> 0:59:37.920 anything he said to you? He was. He was always 0:59:38.000 --> 0:59:41.920 kind of you know, trying to feel me out on 0:59:42.040 --> 0:59:46.280 how we did things in New England, you know, and 0:59:46.400 --> 0:59:50.120 and sometimes you know it'd be it wouldn't we wouldn't 0:59:50.120 --> 0:59:52.360 see eyed eye on something, and he would, you know, 0:59:52.600 --> 0:59:56.560 he could see that he was like competing while while 0:59:56.560 --> 0:59:58.600 we were talking about him, like oh dude, thank you 0:59:58.640 --> 1:00:00.800 for letting me be here. But that's just kind of 1:00:00.800 --> 1:00:03.520 guy he is. He's competitor. Yeah, you get that with 1:00:03.560 --> 1:00:05.480 some of these old school guys in a winner. He 1:00:05.560 --> 1:00:08.320 was a winner, a winner from his playing days. Cool 1:00:08.360 --> 1:00:10.560 to get to do it with your old with your 1:00:10.600 --> 1:00:12.800 old franchise. I will say, we didn't mention this, but 1:00:13.240 --> 1:00:16.920 getting Garnett for what he shipped out that was a 1:00:16.920 --> 1:00:18.960 little That was a little gift from his old teammate 1:00:19.040 --> 1:00:22.000 Kevin McHale who was the GM in Minnesota. That was 1:00:22.040 --> 1:00:24.400 not an even That was insane that they got Kevin 1:00:24.440 --> 1:00:27.960 Garnett for like Al Jefferson and some moving parts, you know, 1:00:28.080 --> 1:00:32.680 but hey, it worked. You got to keep those relationships tight. 1:00:33.120 --> 1:00:37.000 He kept them tight. But favor is owed. It was 1:00:37.680 --> 1:00:39.280 he owes him a favor. I don't know what it is, 1:00:39.320 --> 1:00:44.000 but this was Kobe's revenge era. Following this series of 1:00:44.040 --> 1:00:46.040 Lakers going to win the two thousand and nine and 1:00:46.200 --> 1:00:50.520 ten finals. This is the Kobe Gasol partnership. This is 1:00:50.520 --> 1:00:53.320 that started. And you know, so I think the Lakers 1:00:53.320 --> 1:00:55.560 won the following year against Orlando and then they beat 1:00:56.440 --> 1:01:00.600 the Celtics, so there was that rivalry popped off again. 1:01:00.920 --> 1:01:03.480 So I thought I was at the winning one. Actually 1:01:03.560 --> 1:01:06.600 I was at the losing one, damn, So maybe I 1:01:06.680 --> 1:01:09.720 maybe I cursed him. No, dude, no, it was Uh 1:01:11.000 --> 1:01:13.960 probably won't be allowed back over at the garden. As 1:01:13.960 --> 1:01:16.280 long as you win one, the experiment works. I think 1:01:16.480 --> 1:01:20.040 I think it's this is one of some many sports romances. 1:01:20.040 --> 1:01:24.640 Obviously KG and Pierce, Kobe Gasol, Julian and Tom Brady. 1:01:24.960 --> 1:01:27.120 We got a bromance. We do, but it's you know, 1:01:28.560 --> 1:01:31.360 relationships have their up and downs. You know, I don't 1:01:31.360 --> 1:01:33.400 know if we're at a high right now. He's playing still, 1:01:33.440 --> 1:01:37.280 I'm not. I'm podcasting your money. Your my new bromance. Dude, 1:01:37.440 --> 1:01:41.360 I'm honored. This is I'm gonna make Pop and Tim Duncan. Yeah, 1:01:41.400 --> 1:01:44.240 that was a bromance for sure. There are Pop coach. 1:01:44.280 --> 1:01:48.720 Pop's a legend unsung hero. KG had twenty four in 1:01:48.800 --> 1:01:52.200 Game one, largely just a monster in the final. You know, 1:01:52.280 --> 1:01:56.520 KG is the defensive anchor, just tenacity. Yeah, he just 1:01:56.560 --> 1:02:02.480 brings an attitude that not on my court, you know 1:02:02.520 --> 1:02:05.880 what I mean? Oh yeah, like a beast. He's he's 1:02:05.880 --> 1:02:07.640 we were talking about. He's one of those guys that 1:02:07.760 --> 1:02:11.160 like visualize the ship, like to type him up, like 1:02:11.200 --> 1:02:13.640 he'll he'll take some ship from back in the past 1:02:14.080 --> 1:02:16.920 that happened to him, and he'll he'll explain it to himself. 1:02:16.960 --> 1:02:19.840 Right before a player or a game. You'd see him 1:02:19.840 --> 1:02:23.400 over hitting the posts and stuff. You remember, that's what 1:02:23.480 --> 1:02:26.120 the grades do. They're like, this guy fucked my mom. Yeah, 1:02:26.240 --> 1:02:30.080 I'm gonna mess him up. Remember remember the what was 1:02:30.120 --> 1:02:34.640 that movie? Uh, the water Boy? Yes, water Boy, but 1:02:34.800 --> 1:02:38.880 also like what was another one? It really really sucks. 1:02:38.880 --> 1:02:40.840 That's how you psych yourself up. You gotta psych up, 1:02:41.080 --> 1:02:43.840 gotta psych up. Yeah. Right, the way you talk about 1:02:43.920 --> 1:02:46.640 ray Lewis and his motivational speeches, I kind of see 1:02:46.640 --> 1:02:51.280 that in KG straight war dance guy, but his war 1:02:51.360 --> 1:02:55.920 dance like he just fierce. He's a teammate you want 1:02:56.720 --> 1:02:59.120 he's like that, you know, like we always had like 1:02:59.720 --> 1:03:02.480 the like the Willie McGinnis, the tough guy that kind 1:03:02.520 --> 1:03:06.280 of keeps things in order. After hearing that story about 1:03:06.400 --> 1:03:10.440 you know, the rookie taking his shoes like that ain't happening. No, 1:03:10.560 --> 1:03:12.760 that was amazing. I got some stories we'll get we'll 1:03:12.760 --> 1:03:15.880 get we'll get McGinnis on here and we'll get some 1:03:15.920 --> 1:03:18.240 real good stories out of him. We'll save that for 1:03:18.280 --> 1:03:21.439 the future about him regulating the locker room. But that's 1:03:21.480 --> 1:03:25.160 definitely what Katie did Taul Pierce's underwear. I mean that 1:03:25.480 --> 1:03:27.720 he what he could do was just sell an underwear 1:03:27.880 --> 1:03:30.840 with skid marks on it and makes so much money. 1:03:31.640 --> 1:03:37.680 I'd buy him. I'd sniff him, dude. Now, would it 1:03:37.760 --> 1:03:44.000 be like a perfectly like symmetrical like skid mark or 1:03:44.040 --> 1:03:46.440 would it be like like it's a real skid mark. 1:03:46.520 --> 1:03:48.760 You take a baby, Ruth, you leave it out for 1:03:48.800 --> 1:03:51.720 an hour in the sun, you smear it. You're making 1:03:51.800 --> 1:03:57.440 money on eBay. Some Boston lunatic is buying this. Yeah, 1:03:57.880 --> 1:04:03.200 that's definitely donated the proceeds to Saint Jude's or something, 1:04:03.200 --> 1:04:05.360 and that way you're a hero. No one's talking about 1:04:05.360 --> 1:04:07.520 Paul Pierce poop in his pants, are like this guy 1:04:07.720 --> 1:04:12.640 mass General or mass General is amazing guy. Hey poop 1:04:12.680 --> 1:04:15.160 and all. He didn't poop it, though he wants to 1:04:15.200 --> 1:04:17.280 lay that out there, he did not poop. And we 1:04:17.320 --> 1:04:20.280 did some forensic looking at this, yes I did. I 1:04:20.280 --> 1:04:24.280 looked at every angle. Like I said, we brought an experts. 1:04:24.360 --> 1:04:26.800 We spent thousands of dollars trying to get to the 1:04:26.800 --> 1:04:28.520 bottom of this and we have he did not. He 1:04:28.560 --> 1:04:31.200 did not poop, right, Jack didn't. Didn't you do an 1:04:31.200 --> 1:04:34.600 intense study on this. No poop found in the undies. 1:04:34.880 --> 1:04:36.880 No poop found in the undies. When it comes to Jack, 1:04:37.160 --> 1:04:43.960 you know, we did. We did talk about this picture, Sam, 1:04:44.000 --> 1:04:47.760 can you or here we go, Kyler. We got this picture, 1:04:48.840 --> 1:04:57.240 the infamous amazing, the infamous night me ray or me 1:04:58.320 --> 1:05:04.560 paul in Dola. We'll leave it at that classic we got. 1:05:04.600 --> 1:05:06.520 We gotta get down the wall, we gotta put it. 1:05:06.880 --> 1:05:08.520 We'll hang it up. So that looks like the start 1:05:08.640 --> 1:05:12.040 to have like a Hangover movie right there. Yeah, it 1:05:12.160 --> 1:05:15.120 was start. Looks amazing. Waking up to about five hundred 1:05:15.160 --> 1:05:21.520 text messages from people you don't always want to hear from. True. Yeah, 1:05:21.680 --> 1:05:23.960 that's not good, not good, but it was good. It's learning, 1:05:24.040 --> 1:05:26.800 learning experience. You gotta wear you gotta wear non friction 1:05:26.960 --> 1:05:30.760 pants if you're gonna do a hood slide, right, non 1:05:30.760 --> 1:05:34.200 friction pants. You can't have jeans. I need some polyester 1:05:34.360 --> 1:05:36.960 or something. Let's get someone sending some polyester to the 1:05:37.000 --> 1:05:40.320 Games with Name Studio. So Julian can do the classic 1:05:40.560 --> 1:05:42.800 the way Jackie Chan does in the Rush Hour movies. 1:05:42.840 --> 1:05:45.160 He just jumps over the Oh he makes it look badass. 1:05:46.200 --> 1:05:48.880 You know. He does all his stunts too crazy. Yeah, 1:05:48.880 --> 1:05:51.880 I don't think he's known for acting. I think he's acting. 1:05:51.880 --> 1:05:57.200 It's amazing. I love Jackie Jane. He's a good actor, 1:05:57.240 --> 1:05:59.040 but he's you know, but he's like great, Yeah, he's 1:05:59.040 --> 1:06:01.120 like that's what he's known for. He's gotta do with stunts. 1:06:01.160 --> 1:06:03.080 He's amazing at the Do you ever see like the 1:06:03.120 --> 1:06:06.360 old Police Story movies are insane? Yeah? That's like, didn't 1:06:06.400 --> 1:06:08.920 they say on one of Jackie Chang got beat up 1:06:08.920 --> 1:06:12.960 by Bruce Lee? What? Yeah? On like Isaac is there 1:06:13.080 --> 1:06:15.360 is there something on that? Or he may have been 1:06:15.640 --> 1:06:19.800 an extra on a on a Bruce Lee movie? True? Yeah, 1:06:19.840 --> 1:06:24.160 that's amazing. I think it's fully true. Wow, But I 1:06:24.200 --> 1:06:31.160 don't know, jack do we forget anything? We? Uh? Jules, 1:06:31.200 --> 1:06:33.760 you corrected yourself. You were at the twenty ten finals 1:06:35.160 --> 1:06:39.960 and the KG trade Al Jefferson, Ryan Gomes, Theo, Ratliff, 1:06:40.160 --> 1:06:43.560 Sebastian Telfair and two first round picks in two thousand. 1:06:43.720 --> 1:06:46.960 That's nothing, though, get to first round picks. You got KG. 1:06:47.880 --> 1:06:50.680 That guy is a he's a mortgage the future. That's 1:06:50.720 --> 1:06:53.920 that's a fair trade. I don't think. I mean KG 1:06:54.240 --> 1:06:57.200 is he's a franchise game changer. Who did they get 1:06:57.200 --> 1:07:00.479 with those first picks? That's a good question. A look 1:07:02.120 --> 1:07:05.080 that that will explain, that'll really tell the tale. But 1:07:05.120 --> 1:07:09.640 I don't think Starberry. No, that was way before I know. 1:07:09.680 --> 1:07:13.240 But you remember that team that was That was Starberry 1:07:13.640 --> 1:07:17.360 was pissed that KG got paid and wanted out. Yeah, 1:07:17.440 --> 1:07:20.040 he got the fattest contract in the in the NBA. 1:07:21.800 --> 1:07:24.360 They were such a tandem. Yeah they were. They were. 1:07:24.600 --> 1:07:26.120 I mean they were awesome together. They were on the 1:07:26.160 --> 1:07:28.760 hoop it Up game together, Yeah, they were. They went back. 1:07:29.440 --> 1:07:33.000 No you or what was that NBA jams? Oh that's 1:07:33.040 --> 1:07:34.920 a good NBA jam team? Yeah, it was him, and 1:07:35.040 --> 1:07:36.840 I think it was him and Shrubberry. You need someone 1:07:36.920 --> 1:07:39.480 quick and someone who can block shots. You got. Those 1:07:39.480 --> 1:07:41.920 are the two right there. But wasn't it also Penny 1:07:41.960 --> 1:07:45.520 and Shack? I think was it? I think because those 1:07:45.520 --> 1:07:48.560 were old games, those were fucking class nineties. I was 1:07:48.560 --> 1:07:51.439 always the Starks and youing guy that those were my two. 1:07:51.560 --> 1:07:54.400 I was always a created player guy, were you? Yeah, 1:07:54.400 --> 1:07:56.320 I would do creative player and I'd make my guy 1:07:56.360 --> 1:07:58.880 with the wolfhead and I'd have my number. I would 1:07:58.880 --> 1:08:00.440 have twenty one at the time when I was a kid, 1:08:00.440 --> 1:08:02.480 because I love Dion Sanders, and I'd always named my 1:08:02.520 --> 1:08:07.800 guy Jay Dog. And that's only because my brother used 1:08:07.840 --> 1:08:10.160 to call his his guy Jay Dog, and I always 1:08:10.160 --> 1:08:12.880 thought it was pretty cool. Jay Dougs, I'm gonna start 1:08:12.880 --> 1:08:14.600 calling you Jay Dog. You remember that was like a 1:08:14.640 --> 1:08:19.000 thing in the nineties. You just that the letter and dog. 1:08:21.040 --> 1:08:25.439 It worked. Looks like they picked Ricky Rubio and Johnny Flynn. 1:08:25.840 --> 1:08:30.599 Ricky Rubio draft had Steph. Yeah, well, Ricky Rubio had 1:08:30.640 --> 1:08:33.240 some good years. He's still pretty good. But Johnny Flynn, 1:08:33.320 --> 1:08:35.880 Syracuse guy. I remember that he had a high They 1:08:35.880 --> 1:08:39.240 took him over Steph Curry if I remember correctly, that's correct. 1:08:39.280 --> 1:08:42.880 Not a good pick. Yeah, no disrespect to Johnny Flynn. 1:08:43.120 --> 1:08:48.639 Terrific college player. Steph Curry's top twenty all time. Yeah, 1:08:48.960 --> 1:08:51.080 could be lower, could be lower, I mean, but when 1:08:51.120 --> 1:08:53.040 it's all said and done, he will be lower. But 1:08:53.680 --> 1:08:57.880 I mean he's revolutionized the game. Fucking Do you know 1:08:57.920 --> 1:09:01.800 Steph at all? We've met a couple times at the SPS. Yeah, 1:09:01.800 --> 1:09:04.280 he's such a just a great guy. He's amazing. He 1:09:04.320 --> 1:09:07.479 does it right, you know, he's great man on great 1:09:07.479 --> 1:09:14.080 man off family man. But he's like a Matthew Slater type. Yeah, 1:09:14.479 --> 1:09:18.320 just a great dude. Yeah, he can't. He cannot root 1:09:18.320 --> 1:09:21.160 for those guys. It's hard not to. I always I 1:09:21.280 --> 1:09:23.200 tend to go for the underdog in the NBA, and 1:09:23.240 --> 1:09:27.480 they just are always you know, the pick, they're always 1:09:27.520 --> 1:09:29.439 just so they're so good. I get that, But it's 1:09:29.439 --> 1:09:32.040 like you guys, I mean, when you sustain greatness. It's 1:09:32.040 --> 1:09:33.840 like the Patriots. It's hard to root for a team 1:09:33.880 --> 1:09:36.920 that's that's just a well oil machine like they are. 1:09:37.080 --> 1:09:39.960 And it's similar, you know, yeah it is, but you know, 1:09:40.160 --> 1:09:42.400 it's just when you when you see the individual accolades. 1:09:42.439 --> 1:09:45.160 Because I I was a Warriors fan growing up my 1:09:45.160 --> 1:09:48.360 whole life. Like the Bulls too, because we weren't really 1:09:48.400 --> 1:09:51.639 that good early nineties nineties. We had some good teams 1:09:51.680 --> 1:09:55.120 and fun teams run TMC. You had the Tim Hardaway, 1:09:55.439 --> 1:09:58.759 very well mulling teams. Those are pretty cool. Those were fun. Yeah, 1:09:59.040 --> 1:10:02.760 but you know when they got when they became super team, 1:10:03.120 --> 1:10:06.240 super duper team. Yeah that's what what did what did 1:10:06.360 --> 1:10:09.120 Ray call them? He said they were or Paul I 1:10:09.200 --> 1:10:12.600 keep on calling him we talked about ray Lewis and 1:10:12.720 --> 1:10:15.599 we're gonna have to cut some of that Warriors Celtics Finals. 1:10:15.600 --> 1:10:19.160 Who do you root for? I gotta go to Celtics 1:10:19.520 --> 1:10:23.240 right now, right just because I once once they went 1:10:23.320 --> 1:10:28.120 super duper team. I moved to Boston and once you're 1:10:28.120 --> 1:10:31.320 in that that town, you know, you're always rooting for everyone. 1:10:31.439 --> 1:10:33.519 You know, you're you're rooting for the Socks, You're rooting 1:10:33.560 --> 1:10:36.320 for the Bruins. You want to see the city do well. Yeah, 1:10:36.479 --> 1:10:39.040 and uh, you know I've and that. That was like 1:10:39.280 --> 1:10:42.759 I experienced basketball. I didn't go to like Warriors games 1:10:42.760 --> 1:10:45.760 growing up. It was a little far. We were really 1:10:45.760 --> 1:10:50.200 football baseball guys family. You know, I started going to 1:10:50.200 --> 1:10:52.479 Celtics games, like I started going to basketball games a 1:10:52.520 --> 1:10:54.880 lot when I went to Boston. So that's when I 1:10:55.000 --> 1:10:57.439 kind of learned to like love a team or like 1:10:57.479 --> 1:10:59.280 a team, you know what I mean? Do you root 1:10:59.320 --> 1:11:01.080 for the guys? And then they let me in so 1:11:01.760 --> 1:11:04.360 and they've been so gracious to me as an organization. 1:11:04.880 --> 1:11:07.000 Shout out to my girl McKenzie. She's always hooking me 1:11:07.040 --> 1:11:10.960 up with awesome tickets, Like, you know, they let me 1:11:11.000 --> 1:11:13.200 in that in you know, when I was suspended and 1:11:13.479 --> 1:11:16.599 then let me use their facility. So I'm a Celtics guy. 1:11:16.840 --> 1:11:19.799 Who do you ever sit next to, like any Boston 1:11:19.880 --> 1:11:23.040 legends of those games? A little Wahlberg, a little Damon 1:11:23.240 --> 1:11:26.200 Casey Affleck, what do we got? No? Usually go teammates, 1:11:26.600 --> 1:11:30.000 you go teammates. You know, it's kind of it's like 1:11:30.040 --> 1:11:36.000 a it's like a chemistry thing. It's a bondage. You 1:11:36.040 --> 1:11:38.800 got to do some stuff. Bondage. Yeah, you know, bondage. 1:11:40.080 --> 1:11:43.479 It's like bds M. Yeah, it's like you know that. 1:11:44.200 --> 1:11:48.200 What uh? I remember I was at a Knicks game 1:11:48.240 --> 1:11:51.120 once with my friend Anthony DeVito and we're sitting behind 1:11:51.120 --> 1:11:54.960 Tracy Morgan and it was nick Celtics, and for whatever reason, 1:11:55.200 --> 1:11:58.160 Michael Beasley for the Knicks just went off. He had 1:11:58.200 --> 1:11:59.880 the game of his life. For the Necks, he like 1:12:00.040 --> 1:12:03.360 already eight the next one, And every time Michael Beasley scored, 1:12:03.400 --> 1:12:05.439 Tracy Morgan would just turn behind to us and go, 1:12:05.960 --> 1:12:09.719 real animals eat meat. And we were like, hell, yeah, dude, 1:12:10.200 --> 1:12:13.120 just hyping us up. Tracy Morgan don't know what he 1:12:13.200 --> 1:12:16.440 means because I think there are you know, there's omnivores 1:12:16.479 --> 1:12:18.840 out there. But it was, you know, I was all in. 1:12:18.920 --> 1:12:22.160 I love the new thing modern day athlete going plant 1:12:22.160 --> 1:12:24.519 base that isn't would you have ever done that? Or no, 1:12:24.640 --> 1:12:26.800 you're too much of a foudy. I'm a foodie, but 1:12:26.840 --> 1:12:29.200 when I was playing, I would I would limit like, 1:12:30.200 --> 1:12:32.439 I would eat all like the plant based stuff, and 1:12:32.479 --> 1:12:35.960 I would just add protein to it. But I like 1:12:36.040 --> 1:12:39.639 the taste of that earthy, earthy taste and it does 1:12:39.680 --> 1:12:43.040 give you good energy. But you know, we I think 1:12:43.040 --> 1:12:46.679 we had two vegans on our team when I was there. Really, Yeah, 1:12:46.720 --> 1:12:50.040 Well Tom's got that that now a healer diet though, Yeah, 1:12:50.080 --> 1:12:52.439 but he still eats meat, yeah, I think, or not 1:12:52.680 --> 1:12:55.720 or fish or chick. I don't know. I don't, I 1:12:55.760 --> 1:12:59.519 don't know. Maybe he does, maybe he is anything anything else. 1:12:59.560 --> 1:13:02.439 We left out jack Yeah, real quick, we got Phil Jackson. 1:13:02.479 --> 1:13:04.400 We talked about his time in the next front office. 1:13:04.760 --> 1:13:07.400 He ended up winning. He actually won in seventy and 1:13:07.479 --> 1:13:10.839 seventy three as a player. The Paul Pierce KG trade 1:13:11.479 --> 1:13:15.559 to Brooklyn ultimately ended up getting the Celtics Jason Tatum 1:13:15.600 --> 1:13:19.680 and Jalen Brown, Kobe Bryant. We talked about his languages. 1:13:19.880 --> 1:13:22.960 Spoke Italian, Spanish, English, and a little bit of Mandarin, 1:13:23.000 --> 1:13:27.240 Mandarin Jesus and then was Kobe was an incredible guy. 1:13:27.320 --> 1:13:30.320 He's like a renaissance man. He was, and you felt 1:13:30.360 --> 1:13:32.559 that when he spoke, like when he spoke to our 1:13:32.600 --> 1:13:34.320 team when I you know, I told us about that. 1:13:34.360 --> 1:13:38.120 We talked about that earlier. But I mean that's Mandarin. 1:13:38.760 --> 1:13:43.520 I'm more of a Cantonese guy. Remember Wayne's World. Zang excellent. 1:13:45.200 --> 1:13:50.000 His girlfriend was Cantonese, right. I always remember Zang was 1:13:50.040 --> 1:13:54.439 excellent because he always excellent. Waynsworld is so good? Oh, 1:13:54.640 --> 1:13:58.000 such a classic? Holds up? Just rewatch it? I did. 1:13:58.080 --> 1:14:01.280 I watched it recently. Damn Carrera was the comedy celler 1:14:01.360 --> 1:14:03.840 Ones and Uh I got a picture with her. I 1:14:04.080 --> 1:14:07.040 had a horrible haircut, but UH still got the pick. 1:14:07.720 --> 1:14:09.479 Uh didn't happen. She was he didn't get the pick. 1:14:09.600 --> 1:14:12.240 She was so nineties, all these classics true lies we 1:14:12.280 --> 1:14:14.680 talked about before. I mean, let's like she's in some 1:14:14.800 --> 1:14:19.360 banger nineties movies. Man, I always wanted a Licorice. Oh, 1:14:19.439 --> 1:14:24.160 the Spencer, the Spencer Badass and the Garth Mobile. You 1:14:24.200 --> 1:14:27.400 gotta let's score this thing or name let's name the game. 1:14:27.800 --> 1:14:30.559 It's the wheelchair game. I think we can't call it 1:14:30.560 --> 1:14:32.840 the poop game. Now that we've done all this detective work, 1:14:33.000 --> 1:14:35.120 I think we gotta go wheelchair game. It's gotta be 1:14:35.120 --> 1:14:39.200 wheelchair game, the poop game. That sounds like a really 1:14:39.240 --> 1:14:44.599 bad porn genre, the poop game. Uh, what's your porn genre? 1:14:44.760 --> 1:14:52.080 My probably milf? How about you? I don't know, I 1:14:52.080 --> 1:14:55.360 don't know. You know, it's like, it's like cereal cereal. 1:14:55.439 --> 1:14:57.960 Sometimes you want Coco puffs, sometimes you want fruity pebbles. 1:14:59.640 --> 1:15:02.360 Star Power either way, no matter what, it's bad for 1:15:02.400 --> 1:15:06.120 you is the point we're making here. Uh, stay, let's 1:15:06.160 --> 1:15:10.599 score it, Steaks, Let's score it. NBA Finals. It's game one, though, 1:15:10.640 --> 1:15:12.840 so I think you know you can't go. I mean, 1:15:12.840 --> 1:15:14.639 are we doing the whole series? Are we doing game one? 1:15:14.720 --> 1:15:16.920 Game one? Game one? So? I think steaks are like 1:15:17.280 --> 1:15:20.200 you're at home, so the stakes are high, but it's 1:15:20.320 --> 1:15:22.360 just game one. It's not the super Bowl. Where's yeah 1:15:22.680 --> 1:15:26.519 seven seven seven, This is like first quarter of a game. Yeah, 1:15:26.920 --> 1:15:29.160 star power is high as hell. I go, Yeah, I 1:15:29.160 --> 1:15:30.760 mean this is this is like a nine to nine 1:15:30.800 --> 1:15:33.519 point five. Because you've got Kobe Gasol. I think there's 1:15:33.560 --> 1:15:37.439 at least five Hall of famers in this game, right, 1:15:38.680 --> 1:15:42.800 could be not to mention Phil. So that's six. Is 1:15:42.840 --> 1:15:44.679 Doc Rivers in the Hall of Fame as a coach? 1:15:44.760 --> 1:15:49.040 Maybe no, probably not borderline, but he's still he's still 1:15:49.040 --> 1:15:53.439 a star. Definitely had some star Park. I mean Kobe 1:15:53.439 --> 1:15:58.920 in there. He's Kobe's star. Yeah. Gameplay, it's a good game, 1:16:00.160 --> 1:16:02.679 and forth, back and forth. They were down when Pierce 1:16:02.720 --> 1:16:04.080 came in. The energy. I mean, you got to go 1:16:04.080 --> 1:16:07.559 at least eight, age five, I think, right, yeah, lower, 1:16:08.200 --> 1:16:11.479 you're going lower, all right, I mean maybe eight eight? Yeah, 1:16:11.560 --> 1:16:18.639 let's go eight. Name the wheelchair game. I mean, geez, 1:16:18.640 --> 1:16:21.360 how mad are like you know, the Handicapped Olympics for 1:16:21.479 --> 1:16:24.439 US US right now because they do this all the time. 1:16:24.640 --> 1:16:27.519 You know, I've played with some of those handicapped basketball 1:16:27.520 --> 1:16:30.960 guys and the really brutal. They're really good. But those 1:16:30.960 --> 1:16:33.760 guys are like tough man. They're banging and stuff. Oh 1:16:33.800 --> 1:16:36.360 my god, it's brutal. And they can they can shoot 1:16:36.360 --> 1:16:40.360 with like running star. It's incredible there. Their strength is 1:16:40.400 --> 1:16:43.599 so impressive of like upper body in it. It's fuck. 1:16:43.680 --> 1:16:46.200 It's insane how shredded they are, dude, you but it 1:16:46.400 --> 1:16:50.200 just it looks they're they're like, it's a rough game. Yeah, 1:16:50.320 --> 1:16:56.640 when they're up and there like eight para athletes, parathletes, 1:16:56.880 --> 1:17:02.240 it's amazing, it really is and inspiring. So name name is, 1:17:02.960 --> 1:17:04.519 we got, we got. We gotta dock it a little 1:17:04.520 --> 1:17:10.479 because you know we're team Handicap seven Olympics. Yeah, we'll 1:17:10.479 --> 1:17:13.479 go seven. What's that a grand pretty good score? Here 1:17:14.760 --> 1:17:19.040 were seven eight seven eight seven five Yeah, it's pretty 1:17:19.080 --> 1:17:25.360 good ce plus yeah seven nine yeah, yeah c plus. 1:17:25.760 --> 1:17:28.960 It's a good game. Good game. But it wasn't It 1:17:29.000 --> 1:17:30.720 wasn't like a game set, you know what I mean. 1:17:31.800 --> 1:17:34.799 I mean the theatrics. We got to reserve the highest 1:17:34.800 --> 1:17:38.880 scores possible. Theatrics were there for sure. In Boston, La. 1:17:39.000 --> 1:17:41.639 You gotta give it like the stakes are big because 1:17:41.720 --> 1:17:44.479 those two franchises hate each other, I think. But I 1:17:44.479 --> 1:17:48.080 think we scored it right. I think we definitely did well. 1:17:48.080 --> 1:17:51.440 That's all for this episode of Games with Names presented 1:17:51.479 --> 1:17:55.120 by win Bet. Thank you so much for listening.
