1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: Guess what, We're back in the NBA party train keeps

2
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:07,920
Speaker 1: moving exactly. You thought we wouldn't be back, but guess what,

3
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 1: we would never make it to episode nineteen. But yes,

4
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 1: let's not digress. We are going to check in on

5
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:17,600
Speaker 1: the latest rumors with Russell Westbrook, maybe a career change

6
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 1: for Dwight Howard. We'll also talk about what's going on

7
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:25,280
Speaker 1: with Lebron Draymond, Colin Sexton, and probably get through our

8
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 1: mad boost these winner of the Dunk of the season,

9
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:30,680

00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:37,240
Speaker 1: We have sp Nations NBA editor Harrison Fagan. I'm Miles

13
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:48,520
Speaker 1: so that was pretty yeah, I'm like perfectly on wild

14
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 1: like what we had a mind meld at that moment. Okay, Welcome, welcome, Welcome.

15
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: We got Harrison Fagan in the building. Harrison, welcome to

Speaker 1: Miles and Jack got mad boosts. How you doing, I'm

17
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: doing well, Thank you guys for having me. I gotta

18
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,320
Speaker 1: say that was weirdly specific trash talk at the beginning

19
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: for someone to say that you wouldn't make it to

20
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 1: episode nineteen. Like like if somebody would have said, like,

21
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: you guys won't make it twenty episodes, that would have

22
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,039
Speaker 1: been you know, like more boiler play. They really got

23
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 1: specific on you. They're like, no, no, no, there's no

24
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: way you guys can put up with for more than

25
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: eighteen episodes. You know, what can I say? It's just

26
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: a mother's intuition. Um, that's that she constantly. Yeah, I'm like,

27
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 1: if that's what you're feeling, mom, maybe she's like you're lucky.

28
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: It's like, why are you talking like that? Like you're

29
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,960
Speaker 1: an old gumshoot film. But yeah, you played her the

30
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: first episode and she said, I give it eighteen episodes.

31
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:44,320
Speaker 1: You showed her though, you know I did, and I'm here.

32
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: But Harrison, Uh, first identify yourself. You're a longtime NBA fan.

33
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: Is there a specific team that you've kept drying on

34
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: over the years. Yeah? So, I mean, I think anybody

35
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: who's even a little bit aware of my work, like

36
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: you probably know that, you know, it's definitely it's been

37
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 1: Lakers for me for the Yeah. I grew up you know,

38
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 1: in Orange County, about an hour south of Los Angeles,

39
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: fell in love with the Shack and Kobe Lakers. Uh.

40
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: You know, never thought that I would do this as

41
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: a career. I was actually in community college studying psychology.

42
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 1: I wanted to be a teacher. Ended up just like,

43
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 1: it's getting to the point where I was doing research

44
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 1: methods and stats and I was just like, this is

45
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: too much math for me. It's time to become an

46
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: NBA sportswriter who has to look up like NBA dot

47
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 1: com stuff all the time. That's about the level of

48
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 1: math that I can do. Uh, And I found a niche.

49
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 1: I just kept blogging, and then eventually, yeah, now I'm

50
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: here and I covered the Lakers since uh, like I

51
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: want to say, and then until uh, this spring, I

52
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: was promoted to eSPI Nation NBA editorial manager. So now

53
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: I see all of our dirty team sites and I

54
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 1: have to pretend that I like all of the teams equally.

55
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: That's not true, but I have to pretend it legally. Yeah,

56
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: you're a professional, you can. You know how to keep

57
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,959
Speaker 1: a job. I think that's what's important for Yeah, exactly

58
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: what team is the hardest to pretend that they're equals

59
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: for you, It's it's who we think it is. Yeah,

60
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: it's definitely the Minnesota timber Wolves. It's yeah, it's the Celtics,

61
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: all right, all right, yeah, I mean that's that's kind

62
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: of true for me too. I'm not I'm not a

63
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: big Celtics fan. That's probably the team I have the

64
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 1: hardest time rooting for. I'm not gonna say a root

65
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: against them. I'm gonna say I have the hardest time

66
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 1: rooting for them, because I love the phrase it. I

67
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: root for all of them, you know, equally, except the Celtics.

68
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: It's really hard, but exactly. Yeah, You're you're sort of

69
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: like Lucile Bluth, where you're like, I love all of

70
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: my children equally, and you're like, I don't care for

71
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: job exactly like when you cut away to the end

72
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: the confessional, right, I don't care. Yeah, Otherwise, you know, publicly,

73
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: I love them, but I'll be honest with you, guys,

74
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: this isn't going out anywhere. No, no, no, you know,

75
00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: if my mom's predictions are accurate, absolutely, Uh so, you know,

76
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: considering your proximity to the Lakers and and just checking

77
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: on things over there, uh Westbrook, Russell, Westbrook, Wait, I

78
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: do I do just want to say up top, we're

79
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:16,479
Speaker 1: going to talk about Bill Russell's passing and career and

80
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: his amazing you know, I'm actually gonna bring my dad in.

81
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: I actually interviewed my dad for eight minutes. Uh he

82
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 1: he used to coach the Celtics. So we are because

83
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: I think this first segment is going to be very

84
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: uh Lakers centric, Like we're we're going to be working

85
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: inside the mind palace of a Lakers fan as we

86
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 1: talked through these trades. I think I think that you

87
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 1: need to orient yourself. So don't don't worry Celtics fans

88
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 1: or just NBA fans who aren't exclusively Lakers fans. Just

89
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: you should know it's a that it'll be over soon

90
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 1: and we'll we'll be able to move move on. But

91
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: we we do have to talk about these supposed Westbrook

92
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 1: trades that have suddenly become uh possibilities. I'm curious, Harrison,

93
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 1: what's your take? And according to s I, the Jazz,

94
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: Nicks and Pacers have expressed interest and potentially working at

95
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: a deal that involves taking Westbrook and his contract. Now

96
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: do you think at this stage teams are looking to

97
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: add Russ, you know, just as an expiring deal to

98
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: buy out or you think either of those teams actually

99
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: might be considering having him play out the contract. Yeah, no,

100
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 1: I I think pretty much at this point he's probably

101
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: seen as like a guy that you would buy out

102
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 1: because you have to pay him anyway, you get a

103
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 1: little bit of savings on the back end because he

104
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 1: works out his you know, as we see with all

105
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,280
Speaker 1: these buyouts around the league, guys like they have their

106
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: agents figure out what they can get from other teams.

107
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: They work out a buy out for like around that

108
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: much less the current teams some money, you know, lets

109
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 1: them recoup their amount of money while picking their next destination.

110
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: That is my guess of what will happen with the

111
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 1: Westbrook saga. I don't think that, Like, like the Jazz,

112
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: you are clearly kind of getting set to go in

113
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: the tank for this upcoming draft. After trading Rudy Gobert,

114
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 1: They're going to trade Donovan Mitchell. Like, I don't think

115
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,479
Speaker 1: that they want Russell Westbrook like helping them sneak in

116
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: a few extra wins while they try to develop these

117
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 1: young guys whatever, like trying to recoup his own value. Like,

118
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 1: I just don't see that as something that's happening. Just

119
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: as an example of one of those teams. So I

120
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 1: do think that it's more of like these teams are

121
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 1: going to trade for him. If they do, it's going

122
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: to be to get off of long term money and

123
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 1: a lot give the Lakers some players that maybe aren't

124
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: on their timeline but can help the Lakers win. Now

125
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 1: maybe a little bit more than Westbrook Camp. Right, So

126
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: who are the who are the Lakers like looking at

127
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 1: in such a scenario. Are they just getting out of

128
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: the deal, or like, do the Jazz have something to

129
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:51,039
Speaker 1: offer the Lakers? I don't. I am admittedly allergic to

130
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: the trade machine, so I actually don't know how any

131
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 1: of this. Where are they in such a scenario or

132
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: the Lakers getting something back? Yeah, So my guests would

133
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,679
Speaker 1: be that if the Jazz were involved, it would probably

134
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: be as like a third team to take Westbrook and

135
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: like send something to you know, the team that the

136
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 1: Lakers want guys from, or something like that. The Pacers,

137
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: you know, also might be a third team or just

138
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: a straight up team. You know, if they're getting like

139
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: Miles Turner and Buddy Healed back, you know, something like that,

140
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: maybe the Jazz and facilitates a third team there, or

141
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: you know that maybe they could work with the Pacers

142
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 1: straight up, or work with Brooklyn straight up, or work

143
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: the Jazz in as a third team that you know,

144
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: the Nicks probably wouldn't be a third team for the Nets,

145
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: but they might be some sort of like facilitation team

146
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: with this cap space that they have if they can't

147
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: get work out of Donovan Mitchell trade. Like there's a

148
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 1: variety of ways that that could go. But yeah, I

149
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: think that, you know, with the Jazz specifically, they would

150
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 1: probably being looped in as a third team. And the Lakers,

151
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 1: you know, they as far as what they want, like,

152
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 1: I think they do want to get off of Russ

153
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 1: and you know, not have to pay that gigantic salary

154
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: and not just have him around. Like that's pretty clearly

155
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: from everything that we've seen this summer and everything that

156
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: we saw at his exit interview and you know, like

157
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 1: the entirety of last season, that is not a feasible

158
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: option for the Lakers to have him on their roster.

159
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: And I think that right now, the reason that you

160
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: haven't seen a trade yet is all of these other

161
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 1: teams know that and know that the Lakers need to

162
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 1: get off of his deal, and so are saying, give

163
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 1: us everything you have because you can't possibly take this

164
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: guy into camp, and the Lakers are like, well maybe

165
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 1: we can. You should stop us, uh and like sort

166
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: of projecting this, Oh no, we're just gonna run it back.

167
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: It's fine that Darvin Ham. Darvin Ham is gonna make

168
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook into like the three and D point guard

169
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: that we need to put around Lebron James and Anthony Davis.

170
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: And so I think the Lakers are holding out hoping

171
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 1: that they can get Kyrie after all. This Kadi stuff

172
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 1: kind of shakes out, because that's clearly the option that

173
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: Lebron wants. But you know, also looking at options, like

174
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: you know, you see the Hornets as a team with

175
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: like maybe Gordon Hayward if they're ready to get off

176
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 1: of him and his kind of long term money. You

177
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,679
Speaker 1: look at Miles Turner and Buddy Healed, who are both like,

178
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 1: you know, probably not in the Pacers plans beyond this year,

179
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 1: and but hells like a little bit probably overpaid for

180
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 1: what he meant for what he provides, and not like

181
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 1: the greatest contract longer term than Westbrooks. So you're saving

182
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 1: the pace or some money there. These are kind of

183
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 1: the motivations that you know, you're looking for when you're

184
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 1: trying to find a Westbrook landing spot. Is like these

185
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 1: veterans that are making a decent amount of money for

186
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: teams that are probably trying to rebuild and might just

187
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: would maybe they'd rather have a Lakers first or two

188
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,439
Speaker 1: Lakers first, or whatever it may be. So, as Lakers fans,

189
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 1: who what are the sugar plums dancinging you guys? Is

190
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 1: it is it Kyrie? Is it Donovan? What? What are you?

191
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 1: What are you hoping? Yeah? I mean, obviously I think

192
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,679
Speaker 1: Donovan Mitchell would be someone that Lakers fans would love,

193
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 1: but I don't see that happening. They don't have like

194
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: the assets to outbid the Knicks for him. So I

195
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 1: think it would be you know, it's definitely Kyrie. I

196
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: think is at the top of the majority wish list,

197
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: just because he you know, for his problems, you know,

198
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: like being uh not really being available via health or

199
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: via personal choice, uh, you know, and not wanting to

200
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 1: you know, shot up and not necessarily always wanting to

201
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 1: play basketball. You know, he is a much much better

202
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 1: on court fit with Lebron and Anthony Davis than Russell

203
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 1: Westbrook is. And so as kind of mercurial is he

204
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: might be. He is someone that I think is high

205
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 1: up on Lakers fans wish list, just because he provides

206
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: the type of skill set that you can you can

207
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: squint and look at that team and talk yourself into Okay,

208
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: they are a contender. They're probably not the favorite, but

209
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: they're contender now just because they have these three guys

210
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 1: that are so good and fit so well together and

211
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: hopefully they're all healthy at the right time in the

212
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 1: playoffs and they can kind of make it through a run.

213
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 1: It's the squinting that's the problem with us, though. We

214
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 1: squint a lot and get back to contention. As if

215
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 1: you squint a little bit, like none of these trades

216
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 1: get them back into like oh man, they're the big

217
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 1: faith immediately or something like that. Like it's like, okay, yeah,

218
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 1: I could you know, I could kind of see that

219
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: working out. They got some pieces that kind of maybe

220
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: fit and if everybody stays healthy, yeah, right for sure.

221
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,559
Speaker 1: Um well, let's move on to some just some more

222
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: serious news. Bill Russell passed away over the weekend. The

223
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: eleven time champion Hall of Famer passed away at the

224
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: age of eight. I hadn't realized. So there's so many

225
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 1: great articles written kind of eulogizing him and talk about

226
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 1: his career. I hadn't realized the Celtics didn't even make

227
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 1: it to the finals until he was on the Celtics

228
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: and then they, you know, eleven time winners. But like

229
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 1: that's for some reason I had in my mind that

230
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:27,679
Speaker 1: like the Celtics dominance was in some way not like

231
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: brought by him and it was not existing. Yeah, no,

232
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 1: he they hadn't even made the final. You thought it

233
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: was pre existing greatness prior, right, Yeah, it's so that

234
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 1: that was just one of the details that I feel

235
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 1: like I had wrong. Um. But yeah, so I'm on

236
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 1: vacation right now. You might hear a little bit more

237
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 1: laid back, distracted Jack coming to you. Um, with my

238
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:58,319
Speaker 1: family and when Bill Russell passed. My dad, who used

239
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 1: to coach the Celtics, was like the day that I

240
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 1: resigned as Celtics coach, Bill Russell called me and I

241
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 1: talked to him for like two hours, which is uh,

242
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever talked to anyone for two

243
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: hours on the phone. Um. I was like, how are

244
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 1: you just telling me this right now? So I wanted

245
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 1: to talk to my dad about this. I actually hadn't

246
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 1: even thought to do that. Sup. Producer Jabari was like

247
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 1: maybe for your NBA podcast that you was like, would

248
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: know the Celtics, right, Okay, I would, saying. My big

249
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 1: takeaway is it's weird to interview your father. Uh. First

250
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 1: of all, because I had his Wikipedia page up in

251
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 1: front of me while I was interviewing him, Like I

252
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: wanted to get the date of the seasons he was

253
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 1: coaching the Celtics, right. I also couldn't remember if it

254
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 1: was Jim O'Brien or o'riyan. I didn't get that wrong,

255
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:50,319
Speaker 1: but uh, you know, I I just checked a date,

256
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 1: but then I left it up during the interview, which

257
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 1: is right, Which is just would have been embarrassing if

258
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 1: it was anyone else. But um, I just asked him

259
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 1: a couple of anecdotes from his time just getting to

260
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 1: know Bill Russell. So we can play that clip. But

261
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 1: before we do anything, that jumped out to you guys

262
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: from the articles that were written about him. Yeah, the

263
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 1: the undefeated in elimination games. That was like astounding, you know,

264
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 1: like we talked about clutch guys and stuff like that,

265
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 1: and like who's the most clutch player in NBA history.

266
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,559
Speaker 1: That might be like one of the most incredible clutch

267
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 1: stats I have ever heard. Now Again, like his team

268
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 1: and probably a lot of those situations was like the

269
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:28,680
Speaker 1: better one and had went to a game seven, but

270
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 1: still like to never lose a game seven or like

271
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 1: any sort of elimination game in any tournament at any

272
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 1: level of basketball is like that's insane, Miles, any anything

273
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 1: you want to Bill Russell is like one of those guys.

274
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: Right when I was younger, I didn't know about him

275
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,319
Speaker 1: until the fiftieth anniversary of the league. I mean I

276
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 1: didn't really bother to know about him until the fiftieth

277
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 1: anniversary of the league. And I remember that was like

278
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 1: a huge significant turning point from my like knowledge about

279
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: basketball like NBA history in general. Um. And when I looked,

280
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 1: I was almost like like angry that he was so

281
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 1: good and was even like a like a player coach

282
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 1: and like basically had done everything. I didn't realize he

283
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 1: was the first African American to even coach a professional team. Uh.

284
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: And he like he's done so much on and off

285
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 1: the court. Uh. And I just look at the way

286
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: his influence you know, still effects like players that we

287
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 1: see in the league today and how much the players

288
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 1: that we see who are like advocating for you know,

289
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 1: like a better just society or future, Like you're essentially

290
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 1: modeling Bill Russell, like whether you know it or not. Uh,

291
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 1: And I think you know it's it's we're very lucky

292
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 1: to have like these sort of gigantic figures like that

293
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 1: who were absolute legends in every single dimension of their being.

294
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 1: And yeah, it's a it's a tremendous loss. And I

295
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 1: you know, like I said, you know, you gotta give

296
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 1: you gotta give respect where it's do And there's no

297
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 1: way you could look at Bill Russell and say anything

298
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 1: but this man is excellence personified. Yeah, and that he

299
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: was doing all that stuff at a time when it

300
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 1: was much less popular than it is today. Like some

301
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 1: of those stories about what he and his family, I

302
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 1: mean he signed with the Celtics two years after Brown v.

303
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 1: Board of Education was decided. Yeah, Like that's his proximity

304
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: to all of the you know, societal changes that we're

305
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 1: going on at that time. So something that our culture

306
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: is kind of memory hold is the Boston bussing riots,

307
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 1: but that was like the seventies. That's something everybody should

308
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 1: go look up read about because it's yeah that that

309
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 1: was that was much later than I think our culture

310
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 1: assumed these sorts of things were happening. But yeah, all

311
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 1: of this stuff is more recent than you re a

312
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 1: lot like I think that then we think about frequently

313
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 1: in terms of like I was reading, uh one of

314
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 1: the remembrances from Tom Zeller, who publishes his own newsletter,

315
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 1: good Morning, It's Basketball. You know, he had one where

316
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 1: he was talking about, you know, back during his playing career,

317
00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 1: like the civil rights leader I'm forgetting the name, asked

318
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 1: Bill Russell to come down to the South and basically

319
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 1: put on an integrated basketball camp. And he had that

320
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 1: he you know, he had no like obligation to come

321
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 1: down and do this, and was still like went down.

322
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: Had to have security because the KKK was assembling across

323
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 1: the street from this basketball camp to try and intimidate

324
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 1: people out of going to it, and he still went.

325
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: And there was like someone every night when he slept

326
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 1: in this undersized hotel bed, there was somebody sitting next

327
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 1: to him with a rifle as the last line of

328
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 1: defense to defend him. And like this is how much

329
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: of the sky was willing to put it on the

330
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: line to try and like advocate for his principles and

331
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 1: just like an incredible, incredible human being. Yeah, alright, let's

332
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: throw to a break. We'll come back. We'll go right

333
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 1: into me talking my dad and then we'll come out

334
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 1: of that a few last words about Bill Russell and

335
00:16:44,480 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: then we'll we'll be right back. Alright, Dad, so going, Uh,

336
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 1: it's gone great. Thanks for having me. I've never recorded

337
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:07,440
Speaker 1: you on Mike before. I've never interviewed my dad, so

338
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 1: this is exciting. So you're the head coach of the

339
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 1: Boston Celtics from two thousand one to two thousand four.

340
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 1: It took them to the Eastern Conference Finals. Um, I

341
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 1: think you know this, but just setting the scene for people.

342
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 1: You're also head coach at your hometown six Ers oh

343
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 1: four oh five season with Alan Iverson near the height

344
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 1: of his powers, took them to the playoffs coach the

345
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 1: Pacers from oh seven ton. But I wanted to talk

346
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 1: to you about something that I heard you say the

347
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 1: other day that I I had not known this, but

348
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 1: when you resigned from the Celtics in the O four season,

349
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,679
Speaker 1: you said that Bill Russell called you that day and

350
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:50,680
Speaker 1: you guys talked for a couple hours. Yeah, I had

351
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 1: a great conversation with Russ the former Celtics. Uh, you

352
00:17:56,040 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: know Bill Russell, Kuzy Hinson, all these guys were very

353
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,679
Speaker 1: very generous with her time. And I had gotten to

354
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 1: know Bill Russell over the years that I was there

355
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 1: with the Celtics, and he was always very generous with

356
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 1: his time and his advice and uh, funny, funny guy.

357
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 1: And we had a great conversation. And some of the

358
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 1: things I remember about that conversation where that he would

359
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:28,119
Speaker 1: adjust whatever he had to do to um give the

360
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 1: Celtics what they needed on any given year. So instance,

361
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 1: when they had Casey Jones at the point guard spot.

362
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 1: He was a great defensive player, uh, not so much

363
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 1: a great offensive player. So Russell decided he just needed

364
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,160
Speaker 1: to score more points that particular year to give them

365
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 1: the best chance to win the championship. And when Kuzy

366
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 1: was the point guard. A funny story that Russell had

367
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 1: told me, uh was he grabbed Couzy early on and

368
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 1: he said, you know, Bob your great ball hander, but

369
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 1: you just are horrible defense. Horrible defensively, he said, so

370
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 1: you can't keep your your guy in front of you.

371
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,639
Speaker 1: So what I want you to do is make sure

372
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 1: he beat you, which will do often uh to the

373
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:22,120
Speaker 1: offensive player's left hand, and as soon as he beat you,

374
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 1: run to half court on the left side and I'll

375
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 1: throw you the basketball. So which will we give you

376
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 1: an idea of how uh what it's prowess was defensively? Yeah,

377
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 1: he was just you were saying the other day that

378
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 1: he would just look at his roster and decide how

379
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:43,679
Speaker 1: many points he had to average that that season, which

380
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 1: I think you know, it's almost like the least amount

381
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 1: of scoring he could do to give his team the

382
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 1: best chance at winning. And so, you know, the the

383
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:57,440
Speaker 1: one constant was how dominant he was defensively, and that's

384
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 1: that's never nobody on your team or anywhere is every

385
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,159
Speaker 1: going to be grudual for being a great defensive player.

386
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 1: But you know, he was a player coach, so getting

387
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:10,399
Speaker 1: everybody involved was was important to him. It sounds like,

388
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 1: you know, people talk about Russ being uh, probably the

389
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 1: greatest champion in the history of basketball. He may have

390
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 1: been the best leader. You alluded to a couple of

391
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 1: things about him deciding what was needed and be able

392
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 1: to give it to him, But some of his teammates

393
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 1: Cuisy and Hinson would tell me little anecdotes about about

394
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 1: Russ and Uh, if they were going through a bad

395
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 1: period of time in a game where they had lost

396
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 1: one game, he would go into a huddle at the

397
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 1: time out and look at the guys and say, Okay,

398
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:52,120
Speaker 1: I clearly am screwing this up. Uh, you tell me

399
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,440
Speaker 1: what I need to do better. And it was a

400
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 1: kind of a way of letting everybody else know that

401
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 1: here was a guy that clearly wasn't screwing things up,

402
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 1: that they were screwing it up, but he was taking

403
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 1: the hit and um, uh he would do whatever it

404
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 1: took to win basketball games, Like the buck stops with him.

405
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,120
Speaker 1: So even if he wasn't the one screwing it up,

406
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: like he's like, you know, it's on me, It's on

407
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: my shoulders. So you grew up a sixer Stan as

408
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:27,440
Speaker 1: they repeatedly got trounced by the Celtics, right, I not

409
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 1: necessarily trounced, but they would beat us every year when

410
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 1: it mattered. Right, Um, what does like what what was

411
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 1: it like for you at this like kind of pivotal

412
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 1: point in your career too? I mean, did did you

413
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 1: ever like was it just ever surreal for you, because

414
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 1: I mean Russell, I I didn't realized that Celtics never

415
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 1: made the finals before Russell got there, so like he

416
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 1: really was the Celtics dynasty. And now here you are

417
00:21:56,680 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 1: years later, you're coaching the Celtics and you know, just

418
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 1: end your your tenure there and here's the guy who

419
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,639
Speaker 1: was such a huge part of that dynasty calling you.

420
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 1: Was that that surreal? Was that kind of a weird

421
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,120
Speaker 1: momentary you just kind of in the moment and don't

422
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:15,639
Speaker 1: notice that sort of thing. Well, I had gotten to

423
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 1: know him pretty well, you know a couple of things

424
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:23,160
Speaker 1: as far as going from Philadelphia, growing up, loving Philadelphia,

425
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 1: and having my heart broken seemingly every year. Uh. When

426
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 1: they had the press conference who announced Rick Patino as

427
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 1: a head coach, I was going to be as associate coach.

428
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:37,880
Speaker 1: I happened to sit be sitting next to the red

429
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 1: hour back, who was you know, we're indoors and he's

430
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 1: smoking to speak stokey, as was his habit, and Uh,

431
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 1: I said to him, I said, Red, you know you

432
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,159
Speaker 1: broke my heart and you you taught me how to

433
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,159
Speaker 1: cry about basqueball And he turned and he blew a

434
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 1: big puff of smoke into my face. It goes, Is

435
00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 1: that right? So? Uh, you know other things about Russ

436
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 1: that I I found to be humorous. You know, there

437
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,640
Speaker 1: people had always talked about he would never go out

438
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 1: and play a basketball game, uh, without first throwing up.

439
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,959
Speaker 1: And you know, one time, our back is you know,

440
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 1: relaying a story to me saying that he's ready to,

441
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 1: you know, send a team out. He's he hasn't even

442
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,120
Speaker 1: talked to the team, and everyone's waiting around and Red's

443
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:26,479
Speaker 1: not opening his mouth, and he says to Russ, Uh,

444
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 1: we're waiting on you. Russ, you haven't you haven't puked yet,

445
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 1: so you better get there. And then Russ a couple

446
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 1: of years later, when you know, I was feeling the

447
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 1: pressure of of coaching the Celtics and before the game,

448
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:43,920
Speaker 1: he said to me, you know what, you take this

449
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:47,399
Speaker 1: way too seriously. And I said, here's I'm talking to

450
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:49,880
Speaker 1: the guy that's telling me that, who had to throw

451
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,679
Speaker 1: up before every game. So it's kind of ironic that

452
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,159
Speaker 1: he would say that, did you ever try throwing up

453
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 1: before the game? Just get get it out? You know,

454
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:00,920
Speaker 1: I was just out on the with with our brother

455
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 1: in law. I think he could have could have used

456
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,120
Speaker 1: some of that, and just that's what the captain was saying.

457
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 1: Get it out, get it over with um. Any other

458
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 1: Russell stories, Bill Russell stories. You know Bill Russell. You know,

459
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 1: everybody that had the opportunity to observe him on the

460
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:22,199
Speaker 1: basketball court knew how good he was defensively. But what

461
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 1: few people know is that he would rarely practice. And

462
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 1: he would rarely practice because, as Red hour Back would say,

463
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:33,879
Speaker 1: nobody could get a shot off on the other team

464
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,399
Speaker 1: when he was on the court. He was. He was

465
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:39,879
Speaker 1: that dominant and uh dominant on the court and just

466
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 1: a iconic man off the court. And when he was

467
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 1: playing in San Francisco, he told me a story I

468
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 1: think the day that I resigned, that his college coach

469
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 1: told him that he never wanted him to leave his

470
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 1: feet uh to block a shot for whatever reason it

471
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,399
Speaker 1: was back in the old days. He wanted him to

472
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 1: stay down and not get pump fake. And I'm sure

473
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:08,400
Speaker 1: Rush didn't listen to him that much at that one time,

474
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 1: But we lost a great man, really one of the

475
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:13,679
Speaker 1: great That's funny. That's like one of the one of

476
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 1: the things they tell you in in elementary school, never

477
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 1: leave your sheet for for a pump fake and he's

478
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 1: still bringing it off years later. All right, well, dad,

479
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 1: Jim O'Brien, coach O'Brien, thanks so much for for talking

480
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 1: to me. This was good. We'll have to do it

481
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 1: again sometimes go forward to a son. Alright, So that

482
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 1: was me talking to my dad, uh coach Jim O'Brien about,

483
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:44,400
Speaker 1: you know, his conversations with Bill Russell. Um, i'd say

484
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 1: the you know, I had heard the thing that he

485
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 1: threw up before every game. That's like one of the

486
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,639
Speaker 1: first things you hear in basketball, I think, especially if

487
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,440
Speaker 1: you're like a nervous person, they're like, no, I don't

488
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:58,120
Speaker 1: worry about they'll Russell used to throw up before every game.

489
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 1: Totally normal. Yeah, I'd say the the anecdote that jumped

490
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:07,159
Speaker 1: out to me was that he it sounds like he

491
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 1: scored as little as he possibly could while his teams

492
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 1: would still win, which is just like I don't know

493
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 1: that that is that makes sense of like his scoring

494
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 1: kind of fluctuating, going up and down, and also just

495
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 1: given what we know about like what actually makes a

496
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:30,399
Speaker 1: team win is like getting people involved offensively and people

497
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 1: being willing to sacrifice to get other guys involved, and

498
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 1: I feel like you almost couldn't have a career like

499
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 1: that today because there's so much pressure from the media too,

500
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 1: you know, every like box scores being scrutinized, and it

501
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 1: takes a lot of i don't know, just selflessness and

502
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:54,639
Speaker 1: just single mindedly only caring about, you know, the final

503
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 1: result of winning. I think I think Lebron kind of

504
00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 1: did that, uh in a in a lot of ways

505
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 1: for a large part of his career um and he

506
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 1: got a lot of pushback from people being like you

507
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 1: you take the final shot if you're the best player

508
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:11,919
Speaker 1: on the team, and it's like that doesn't really makes sense.

509
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 1: And I was gonna to even further contextualize it, like

510
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:18,359
Speaker 1: they didn't track blocks until either, like very late in

511
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:21,680
Speaker 1: his career. Afterwards, there were even less stats to kind

512
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 1: of accumulate like while doing that approach like now nowadays,

513
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 1: like someone could do that and theoretically be like, Okay,

514
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 1: well I blocked like three shots a game, Like my

515
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 1: field goal percentage all out at the rim is really loud,

516
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 1: like you can show their value. Like they didn't have

517
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 1: any of that stuff back right, it was all anecdotal,

518
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 1: and so he just did it like and you had

519
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 1: to almost like look at his dominance by sheer word

520
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 1: of mouth and I guess like rebounding statistics and stuff

521
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: like that. Like you know that there were the crazy

522
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 1: stories about like the level of depth he saw the

523
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 1: game in and that like he would you know, he

524
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:52,640
Speaker 1: would try and help his teams build up a lead

525
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:54,920
Speaker 1: against Wilt's teams and then just kind of let him

526
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 1: score just enough so that he didn't start to like

527
00:27:57,560 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 1: pick up on Bill's defensive tricks and he could i

528
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 1: with them when he really needed to. It's just like,

529
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 1: you know, it's the type of stuff that we on

530
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 1: the outside never think about it on that level of

531
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 1: like the stuff that these guys do in the mental

532
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 1: games that they play. Uh, you know, just again like incredible,

533
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 1: like that one of the highest basketball like he was

534
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 1: we've probably ever seen, I think just in general, to

535
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 1: have that kind of intelligence to think of like, well,

536
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,640
Speaker 1: if I reveal this too many times to my opponent,

537
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 1: then it becomes mood in a way. I feel like,

538
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:28,160
Speaker 1: what is he? Like? The is Nathan Fielder the new

539
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:36,880
Speaker 1: Bill Russell? Like, yeah, don't a lot of flow chart

540
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 1: on his laptop. He's like stuff, right, He's like Okay,

541
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 1: we win the tip off, will get a couple of

542
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 1: righty hook shots like I'm gonna be able to block

543
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 1: it the next time. It's gonna be overconfident in it. Yeah, exactly, exactly.

544
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 1: All right, Well, let's pivot in the paint to NBA

545
00:28:55,200 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 1: Dunk Week. Dan, Dan, it's done week? They did? They

546
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 1: really pick? Is it shark? Is it also Shark week?

547
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 1: They did? They did last week? Okay, so I think

548
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 1: it's two weeks right around now, all right, I Shark

549
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 1: Week is year round and in this household, but no,

550
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 1: I think it was last week. I think it was

551
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 1: last week. But when look, it's it's all Shark week

552
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 1: to us. But more importantly, it is NBA Dunk Week,

553
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 1: and we thought to celebrate we should probably go over

554
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 1: some of the top dunks of the year, and in

555
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 1: no particular order, just you know, we'll we'll play quick

556
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 1: clips so you can hear the audio. Jack or Harrison,

557
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 1: would either of you want to do with the color

558
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 1: color play by play to describe the would love to Okay,

559
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 1: let's say I'm not qualified for this, so yeah, you

560
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 1: you go for it. So first we will talk about

561
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 1: this is I mean like this isn't no protect I

562
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 1: guess is it a particular Well, they are in the

563
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 1: order that I would have put them in, except maybe

564
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 1: I mean we well here, then, for the purpose of this,

565
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 1: let's just say in no particular order, in no particular order,

566
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 1: let's look at some of the contenders. Was put into

567
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 1: this my float shirt and no pre planning done whatsoever

568
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 1: or anything, no bits worked out, because that's not what

569
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 1: kind of podcast this is. But let's talk about the

570
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 1: first No. The first one is Anthony Edwards over Gabe Vincent.

571
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 1: This is from I believe Novembers earlier on in the season.

572
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 1: This only gets honorable mentioned because I think they called

573
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 1: a foul which got it at a certain point. You

574
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 1: might just need to oh oh no, oh yeah. This

575
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 1: is the one that Nate Duncan was friending afterwards because

576
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 1: he was like, yeah, you know, I heard of the

577
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 1: dun put off or something like that, Like, yeah, I

578
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 1: mean I could have done it. I see, I see

579
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 1: what Nate's talking about. I could have done that. Um.

580
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 1: But that's the thing. If you're a ref and you

581
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 1: call a fowl on that, you should be suspended right

582
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 1: for denying us. Just that just that kind of dunk.

583
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:15,479
Speaker 1: What gave Vincent does here is the equivalent of jumping

584
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 1: on a hand grenade. Because Anthony Awards is a clearly

585
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 1: into the basket. Vincent rotates all the way from the

586
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 1: other side. He has the shooter in the corner in

587
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 1: the opposite corner, gets in front of it, does take

588
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 1: a charge, but I think gets there a little late

589
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 1: because his feet aren't set before they're moving. His feet

590
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 1: are moving as Anthony Edwards is already gliding through the air.

591
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 1: But um, it's it's powerful. It is a work of beauty.

592
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 1: Jumps from way too far away, gets to the rim

593
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 1: and dunks it, which I guess can't fully be said

594
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 1: about our next one, the m beat over Jared Allen,

595
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 1: because I think he just like kind of throws it

596
00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 1: as hard as he can into the basket. I don't

597
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,960
Speaker 1: know this fingers actually ever touched the net. But um,

598
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 1: I remember where I was when when this happened. Okay,

599
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 1: set this up for us Jack late Thursday night, te

600
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 1: you know this might have been when the Sixers fans

601
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 1: were waiting for Harden to like. Harden was still hurt

602
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 1: but had been traded already, and we you know, our

603
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 1: hopes were the highest, uh, they'd be all season and

604
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 1: bead ms is a free throw. We get the offensive

605
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 1: board and then he takes two steps and his shoulders

606
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 1: are above the rim as he just throws the ball

607
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 1: downwards over Jared Allen. Um, he doesn't wear like sometimes

608
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 1: the player who you're who is being dunked over looks

609
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 1: like they stepped on a hand garnade. This is the

610
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 1: railroad where in bead fly backwards when he dunks it

611
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 1: with such force that it's his body can't believe what

612
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 1: just happened. I mean, also, like Jared Allen's a sturdy man,

613
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 1: you know, like all due respect to gave Vincent, but

614
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 1: he's you know, a little stockier, a little larger. And

615
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 1: then I liked these dunks like this because we so

616
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 1: rarely see a guy throw it through the rim like that,

617
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 1: with that level of kind of violence and flair. And yeah,

618
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 1: I mean those are I have a soft spot for those.

619
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 1: I do too, Uh, And that has nothing to do

620
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 1: with the fact that I I'm a six or fan. No, No, objectively,

621
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 1: it's great, all right, we can move past this one.

622
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:39,959
Speaker 1: This is Jaylen Brown dunking over something somebody. Uh, this

623
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 1: is Dallas. I guess Dallas Boston kind of a nice

624
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 1: crossover between the legs splits the splits the double teams

625
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 1: Jaylen Brown and um, he dunks it over Clevea. Yeah.

626
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 1: It's you know, say, not that impressive. You know, I'm

627
00:33:57,680 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 1: not that impressive. It's you know, it is it. It's

628
00:33:59,880 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 1: a guess, one of those ones where it's, you know,

629
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 1: one v one, who's gonna who's gonna come out on top?

630
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 1: But because he split the it is one v one

631
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 1: because he split the a double team with a between

632
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 1: legs dribble. That's about Jalen Brown is like people will

633
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 1: talk about him not having a good handle, and then

634
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 1: he will have a dribble move that is like what

635
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 1: did he just black out there? If he's not a

636
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 1: good dribbler, what what exactly is this? That's just him

637
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:30,239
Speaker 1: attacking the rim and I think, yeah, just one of

638
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:32,239
Speaker 1: he's he's doing what he needs to do. I mean,

639
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:36,400
Speaker 1: it's not like the fanciest move, but yeah, it's efficient

640
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 1: in that he just you know, rendered those two defenders

641
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 1: of great distance throws it down. Okay, what about another one.

642
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people need to keep their

643
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:50,440
Speaker 1: eye on this. Russell Westbrook guy Okay, and I know

644
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:52,719
Speaker 1: we're talking about some teams that are interested. May I

645
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 1: offer you this dunk over Rudy Gobert. Send this to

646
00:34:56,200 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 1: the Pacers repeatedly. Look at this, you know, their bitches

647
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 1: the top and just all by himself. Violence. But so

648
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:10,839
Speaker 1: I was gonna say earlier that the mbat over Jared

649
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:15,279
Speaker 1: Allen was the best defender that is getting uh you know,

650
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:17,279
Speaker 1: going up to meet the dunker at the rim. But

651
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:21,880
Speaker 1: I mean Bibert is all time great defender and Russ, uh,

652
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 1: this is just violence. Yeah, what is he a? He's

653
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 1: like a four time defensive Player of the Year three

654
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:30,719
Speaker 1: times something like that. You know, I think again, NBA

655
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 1: teams might be undervaluing this guy. Russ just took him

656
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:35,920
Speaker 1: one on one and you're getting the steal of a

657
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 1: deal here. Yeah, I mean they should be giving the

658
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:41,480
Speaker 1: Lakers first round picks for this that. Don't look up

659
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:43,839
Speaker 1: any other clips from last year, don't look up anything else.

660
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:48,400
Speaker 1: Just this clip. He does dunk from inside the circle

661
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 1: at the free throw line like it is. Oh, it's impressive,

662
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:54,759
Speaker 1: it's shocking. Still an incredible athlete, He's not He's not

663
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:57,399
Speaker 1: like what he was, you know in his prime. He's

664
00:35:57,400 --> 00:35:59,760
Speaker 1: still you know, there were moments like this last season

665
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 1: where you can still see like he's still an amazing athlete.

666
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:05,320
Speaker 1: It's just not the greatest, you know, sometimes he was

667
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:08,759
Speaker 1: missing these dunfs. But yeah, it's a little difficult. Okay,

668
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 1: let's move on to another one. I'd say these are

669
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 1: the two. These are the two fightings I I could

670
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:18,360
Speaker 1: I could put these in either order at one or two. Okay,

671
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:25,680
Speaker 1: So this is Andrew Wiggins dunking over Game three. We

672
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 1: talked about this one. It's another one where someone decided

673
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:32,880
Speaker 1: to go straight up and may have regretted that decision

674
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:40,160
Speaker 1: from the then snaps it outside comes Wiggins. Wiggins. Now

675
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 1: they did call a charge in the moment. I think

676
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:47,759
Speaker 1: just based on uh, it's not an of the fact

677
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:53,960
Speaker 1: that it seems like a I mean he does it

678
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:56,839
Speaker 1: is the face like as he's going by, but it's

679
00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 1: kind of like you don't want I don't know that

680
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:01,439
Speaker 1: you did it on purpose, also slowed down. I don't

681
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 1: think I think it is Lucas selling it. Um. Oh yeah,

682
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:08,440
Speaker 1: well we this. I remember the still image of this

683
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:12,719
Speaker 1: was like Luca actually like pulling a face and like cowering.

684
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:15,360
Speaker 1: It felt very like uh, you know, trying to have

685
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:18,399
Speaker 1: a big reaction to get the the official detention sort

686
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 1: of thing. But a fantastic moment. I think that's that's

687
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:25,240
Speaker 1: considering the stakes too of like, you know, let's playoff

688
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 1: game Yeah, and it is tells the story of the season,

689
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:32,880
Speaker 1: which is that Andrew Wiggins comes on and suddenly is

690
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:37,200
Speaker 1: playing like the best possible version of Andrew Wiggins. Luca,

691
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 1: it's all the people that like doubted Andrew Wiggins. He's like,

692
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 1: I am doubting that from this far and still dunk

693
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 1: on me. Andrew Whins was like, no, I can when

694
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:49,279
Speaker 1: I try sometimes. So I think other podcasts might have

695
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:52,400
Speaker 1: that as the dunk of the year because the story

696
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:54,440
Speaker 1: of the year for them is who wins the title.

697
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 1: The story of the year for me is, uh, this

698
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 1: fellow jaw moran um and his dunk in Game five

699
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:08,880
Speaker 1: versus the Timberwolves round one. So not as momentous as

700
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 1: the Wiggins dunk in terms of you know, playoff, you know,

701
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 1: import but they're down thirteen at this point after he

702
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 1: dunks this, he this is the game where he like

703
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 1: just couldn't be stopped, right, he just Yeah, And it

704
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:28,480
Speaker 1: is also just one of the coolest things I've ever

705
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 1: seen a human being do with a human body. Yeah,

706
00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 1: this is this one's this one's clean up three leading

707
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:42,759
Speaker 1: in goes through four people and then and if you

708
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 1: haven't seen this, it's like it's like an anime dunk

709
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:51,719
Speaker 1: or something more like I could see, Yeah, exactly, Like

710
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 1: if you did this in an anime, like everything would

711
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:56,800
Speaker 1: black out. It would just be jaw and Beasley, and

712
00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:58,960
Speaker 1: then you would see like streaks of light coming off

713
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 1: his feet. He like elevates ten thousand feet into the

714
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:04,759
Speaker 1: air and then comes crashing back down, but basically like

715
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:07,080
Speaker 1: touches the ground again with the ball. He cocks his

716
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:12,480
Speaker 1: arm so far back and then you know, finishes it. Yeah, fantastic.

717
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:15,440
Speaker 1: I was gonna half jokingly like stand for the Westbrook

718
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:17,880
Speaker 1: one as the number one, you know, like he he

719
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:20,560
Speaker 1: deserves it. But yeah, you know, after watching the job

720
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 1: one again, it's it's got to be. I think you

721
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:24,239
Speaker 1: guys are being a little too narrow minded. I think

722
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:28,960
Speaker 1: this Russell Westbrook guy again, if you are the Jazz,

723
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:33,320
Speaker 1: the Nicks, the Pacers, check this video. The Nets, the Nets,

724
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 1: I mean, that's my it's got the mad boost. He's

725
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:42,879
Speaker 1: dunk of the season. Okay, it's gotta be worth something. Okay, well,

726
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:44,880
Speaker 1: thank you so much for playing along. You tell us

727
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:46,640
Speaker 1: if we missed a dunk. But I honestly I think

728
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:48,640
Speaker 1: that John morand dunk because do you think that John

729
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:50,719
Speaker 1: morand dunk is the moment when Tim Connolly was like,

730
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:52,759
Speaker 1: I gotta give up nineties seven first round picks for

731
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:55,239
Speaker 1: Rudy Gobert. He would have stopped that, you know, like,

732
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:58,279
Speaker 1: I can't watch this anymore. I need a large human

733
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:01,200
Speaker 1: near the rim. I mean that is gonna be harder

734
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 1: to do on the Timberwolves this year unless you watch

735
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:08,480
Speaker 1: the Russ clip like three clip. But exactly right, I

736
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:11,479
Speaker 1: am starting to get excited about the Timberwolves this season.

737
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:14,399
Speaker 1: I am too. It's gonna be interesting. At the very post,

738
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:16,239
Speaker 1: I'm curious to see how it works. I don't know

739
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:17,719
Speaker 1: that I'm like all the way on board what they're

740
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:19,880
Speaker 1: gonna be amazing yet, but I want to watch it.

741
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:23,000
Speaker 1: I like their teams doing something different. The three teams

742
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:25,799
Speaker 1: I'm most excited to watch this next season or the Grizzlies,

743
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:29,839
Speaker 1: the Timberwolves, and the Pelicans. And that wasn't the case

744
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 1: five years ago. So that's that's kind of we're we're

745
00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:37,520
Speaker 1: in a new league. I'm alright, let's take a quick

746
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:39,719
Speaker 1: break and we'll be right back to finish this thing

747
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:51,839
Speaker 1: out with the rapid fire questioning round. And we're back

748
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:55,800
Speaker 1: the rapid fire questioning round. The fastest way that we

749
00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:59,719
Speaker 1: could think of to say that rapid fire question round

750
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:07,919
Speaker 1: of questioning with our guest, Harrison Fagan. If you guys

751
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:10,560
Speaker 1: just did that and like the name was longer than

752
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:13,800
Speaker 1: the actual segment, we would never do some round questioning.

753
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:15,839
Speaker 1: Should the Lakers fade? Westbrook, I'm like no, And then

754
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:17,560
Speaker 1: you're like, okay, that was all right. That was our

755
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:21,759
Speaker 1: rapid fire round of questions. WHOA all right? Man? But

756
00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:25,640
Speaker 1: get ready because again, Harrison, like we say we'd like

757
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:29,480
Speaker 1: to ask our guests just respond reflectively. Now we change

758
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:31,840
Speaker 1: things up for this time. It's gonna be either or

759
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:36,240
Speaker 1: would you rather type situation, So just respond as quickly

760
00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:38,120
Speaker 1: as you can to the questions that are put in

761
00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 1: front of you. That way, we can keep this rapid

762
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:44,360
Speaker 1: fire round of questions to a very short, concise and

763
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 1: economical content package for the listener. Okay, start the clock,

764
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:54,440
Speaker 1: which at the beginning of the rapid fire round of

765
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:59,839
Speaker 1: question you want to go first. I'll go first. Let's

766
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:07,080
Speaker 1: do paper scissors. Okay, to one shot that we both? Okay,

767
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 1: one to shoot? What do you all right? Here? One rock?

768
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:20,360
Speaker 1: Papers shoot? Shoot? Oh he scissored me timbers again? Okay,

769
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:27,279
Speaker 1: rock shoot shoot? You got me? Got it? And I

770
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:34,360
Speaker 1: didn't have the fortitude. Restart the clocks ready, Harrison? A

771
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:36,080
Speaker 1: note on that? Was the clock already going? Or do

772
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:38,359
Speaker 1: we need to restart the clock? Brian? Do I need

773
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:42,279
Speaker 1: to reclaim my time? I'm gonna reclaim my time. Good.

774
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:43,919
Speaker 1: I think we're good. Oh he said, we're good. Okay,

775
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:56,360
Speaker 1: fantastic jar superducer Jabari. Okay, here we go, start the clock,

776
00:42:56,560 --> 00:43:00,360
Speaker 1: Start the clock, Harrison. Would you rather have they to

777
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 1: dunk all over someone in anybody like Kemp, you know,

778
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:09,200
Speaker 1: over jaw style or sorry I screwed that up Kemp,

779
00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:15,239
Speaker 1: I thought it was Kemp. Or let's well then, okay,

780
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:19,920
Speaker 1: we can still keep this in start the block, Harrison.

781
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:22,279
Speaker 1: Would you rather have the ability to dunk all over

782
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:28,080
Speaker 1: someone camp over list in style or have unlimited range? Definitely?

783
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:32,440
Speaker 1: I feel like the Dunks. Yeah. I don't know if

784
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:34,200
Speaker 1: it's just because we just watched a bunch of dunks,

785
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:36,560
Speaker 1: but I think I think the dunk that I just

786
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:39,359
Speaker 1: feel like the dunk thing is cooler. Yeah. I don't

787
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:41,520
Speaker 1: really care about being like the best player ever. I

788
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:44,759
Speaker 1: just want to have like great highlights. Right, someone who

789
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:47,839
Speaker 1: the NBA has endorsed us having mad Boosti's I can

790
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:51,080
Speaker 1: say it's a little overrated. Man, That's that range is

791
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:55,160
Speaker 1: pretty cool. I've always loved being able to just you know,

792
00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:58,279
Speaker 1: reach up and easily getting the bottom of the net

793
00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:01,680
Speaker 1: whenever I wanted to. But uh, that that range would

794
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:04,480
Speaker 1: really come into handy unlimited range. You don't want to

795
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:07,560
Speaker 1: hand out umbrellas at the gym when I was like,

796
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:09,800
Speaker 1: I mean, I was never able to shoot, but I

797
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:12,879
Speaker 1: could touch rim and so you know, it just would

798
00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:14,880
Speaker 1: be nice to be able to dunk on people. Okay, Harrison,

799
00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:17,760
Speaker 1: you don't need to buy here. This is our podcast.

800
00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:20,680
Speaker 1: And also this is a rapid fire question. Thank you.

801
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:25,440
Speaker 1: Speaking of dunks in honor of it officially being the

802
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:28,480
Speaker 1: league's official dunk week, would you rather have Janna's drop

803
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:31,959
Speaker 1: the hammer on you in the post or have Yeah

804
00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:35,759
Speaker 1: Morants put you on a poster as he takes off

805
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:39,719
Speaker 1: from just inside the free throw line. Job. This is

806
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:42,279
Speaker 1: kind of like an erotic question. I like it. Yeah,

807
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:45,759
Speaker 1: I like that too, Like which version? How dirty you

808
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:49,120
Speaker 1: want to get? So? Yeah, I just feel like if

809
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:50,960
Speaker 1: Janice does it at my size, I'm going through the

810
00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:55,759
Speaker 1: stanchion so and probably bring myself John. It'll be embarrassing,

811
00:44:56,239 --> 00:44:59,439
Speaker 1: but I probably won't die. Would you if you knew

812
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:01,440
Speaker 1: in the moment, would you make a face because you

813
00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:03,160
Speaker 1: knew you're going to be on a poster to like

814
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:05,560
Speaker 1: also kind of get some shine. We're like, hey, you know, job,

815
00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:07,800
Speaker 1: I've got that dunk, but Harrison's face It's kind of

816
00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:10,279
Speaker 1: kind of makes the poster become a meme. Yeah, I

817
00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:14,160
Speaker 1: think I probably. I mean, I am not that expressive

818
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:16,040
Speaker 1: of a person, and they were wife, but I feel

819
00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:18,080
Speaker 1: like if that was happening, I probably wouldn't I would

820
00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:21,160
Speaker 1: be Okay, has anyone ever that that might be like

821
00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 1: new ground to break while they're being dunked over, like

822
00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:30,319
Speaker 1: made eye contact with the camera and made like yea,

823
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:34,000
Speaker 1: or like a Scorsese film where it's like you're probably

824
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:38,000
Speaker 1: wondering how I got here. I've got a note for

825
00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:43,040
Speaker 1: the pearls of the world. Okay. They're like man like

826
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:51,120
Speaker 1: you know, boy again? Not again? Okay? Sorry? Jack? That

827
00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:54,240
Speaker 1: was on you that time. We've got to keep it rapid, Uh, Harrison.

828
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:56,879
Speaker 1: Would you rather be able to attend the next three

829
00:45:57,000 --> 00:46:00,439
Speaker 1: finals series or be able to go back in time

830
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:06,319
Speaker 1: to witness any single finals matchup? Uh? Probably the next three,

831
00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:08,080
Speaker 1: just because I've already seen how the other ones go.

832
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:13,880
Speaker 1: Oh wow, Okay, you're not impressed by time travel. Huh Okay,

833
00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:15,400
Speaker 1: I mean I'm got you know, all I get to

834
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:18,200
Speaker 1: do is go watch the finals, you know, like, not

835
00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:22,120
Speaker 1: like I can go back and well, I guess that's

836
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:24,920
Speaker 1: why I got to be clever about this question. It's

837
00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:27,239
Speaker 1: not just about going to the finals. I'm gonna go

838
00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:31,600
Speaker 1: back and gamble on Lakers, you know, Celtics two games seven,

839
00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:40,120
Speaker 1: and then you win enough money to get tickets and yeah,

840
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:44,480
Speaker 1: all right, Harrison has one, uh the rapid fire. But

841
00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:46,680
Speaker 1: we'll just do the rest of these to run it out.

842
00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:49,480
Speaker 1: But yeah, you got you got the right answer there.

843
00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:53,080
Speaker 1: Would you rather have your team win through the next

844
00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:55,959
Speaker 1: five titles and then have to into our ten years

845
00:46:56,280 --> 00:47:00,200
Speaker 1: of futility where you don't even make the playoffs, or

846
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:03,200
Speaker 1: would you rather have your team win one title and

847
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:06,239
Speaker 1: have a really competitive team that falls just short for

848
00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:09,600
Speaker 1: the next decade deep runs, no cigar. You know, my

849
00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:12,840
Speaker 1: specific era of Lakers basketball has definitely prepared me for

850
00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:15,000
Speaker 1: the first one. So yeah, I'm saying the first one

851
00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:17,800
Speaker 1: all the way. Yeah, I'm like, I'm ready for a

852
00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:20,759
Speaker 1: team that's really good for like even just like one

853
00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:24,040
Speaker 1: year and then like sucks for ten just hypothetically, you know.

854
00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:27,000
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean the Randy Fundiers. I was living

855
00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:30,120
Speaker 1: off of old memories for a while. So it happens.

856
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:32,239
Speaker 1: That's how we stay, That's how we stay a lot. Okay,

857
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:35,360
Speaker 1: moving on final question, Harrison Clippers when the title or

858
00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:39,200
Speaker 1: the Celtics win the title? Clipper? Okay, thank you, that's great.

859
00:47:39,719 --> 00:47:41,560
Speaker 1: That a codiction or is that just like what you

860
00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:44,920
Speaker 1: would rather? You'd rather? I thought, uh, I mean I

861
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:49,919
Speaker 1: guess both, but yeah, you'll take a Yeah. You didn't

862
00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:52,520
Speaker 1: like how rapid that answer was, Hunt Jack. No, no, no,

863
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:55,440
Speaker 1: I just I actually didn't understand the question. Um, so

864
00:47:56,040 --> 00:48:00,360
Speaker 1: I assumed which would I prefer? Yeah, which would you prefer? Yeah? Clippers?

865
00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:03,719
Speaker 1: Yeah without good Man. Yeah, I actually gotta keep that. Yeah,

866
00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:07,800
Speaker 1: let him get one. And I I like that answer

867
00:48:08,120 --> 00:48:12,359
Speaker 1: because the Lakers fans relationship to the Clippers has never

868
00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:15,439
Speaker 1: sat right with me. I think I think Lakers fans

869
00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:17,320
Speaker 1: need to be nicer to the Clippers. I think I

870
00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:20,640
Speaker 1: agree with that too. But no, the look I retweeted

871
00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:23,080
Speaker 1: that them winning Mascot of a Year today. You know,

872
00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:26,960

873
00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:29,759
Speaker 1: a perfect attendance award or something you've got to recognize.
