The fans said, No, 13 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:41,279 Speaker 1: neighborhood hater. Hate fits you. It is what your hater 14 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:43,560 Speaker 1: is with love sometimes I see that. So, yes, we 15 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,720 Speaker 1: got me here? Yeah, I guess so we're here now? Yes, indeed, 16 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,240 Speaker 1: did you get a chance to see the Knicks Warriors? 17 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,960 Speaker 1: And and and Draymond's antics with Cat? 18 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:55,200 Speaker 3: I did, and thoughts Cat fell for all that shit 19 00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:57,040 Speaker 3: he did. Draymond did what he was supposed to do. 20 00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 3: He does it to everybody. He does, you know, And 21 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:00,360 Speaker 3: I've got a feeling he doesn't with. 22 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:00,920 Speaker 1: Cat like that. 23 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,880 Speaker 3: Uh huh, but you know who won that game. 24 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 1: Let's trace this back a little bit because obviously, a 25 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:11,040 Speaker 1: week or two ago, Golden State goes into Madison Square 26 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 1: Garden and Cat doesn't play. Draymond on his show with 27 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 1: Bed says that Kat was running from the smoke. Comes 28 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 1: to find out that his girls' family someone had passed, 29 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 1: and obviously you want to send condolences out to everybody, 30 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 1: and obviously death is a tough pill to swallow. But 31 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 1: whether it was running from the smoke or legitimately you know, 32 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:37,040 Speaker 1: wanted to miss it, it gets people talking. And now 33 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 1: fast forward, New York comes back to Golden State and 34 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:42,759 Speaker 1: Dre is on his ass. I love Cat. I think 35 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 1: Cat is probably one of the most talented players in 36 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 1: the league. But his issue is he's a cat. He's 37 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 1: not a dog. Still skilled, still will be a Hall 38 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 1: of Famer, still an All Star, but he's just not 39 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 1: a dog. And I think Draymond can see that and 40 00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 1: sniff it out and he attacks. 41 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 3: I mean, that's Draymond his job to do that. Absolutely, 42 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 3: he's one of the greatest to ever do it. At 43 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 3: that we sit here argue about his Drayma going to 44 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 3: the Hall of He. 45 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 1: Is first ballot. 46 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 3: Is he first ballot? 47 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:08,360 Speaker 1: I think so. 48 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 3: Under ten thousand points. 49 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 1: I think so. Four time champion, two time Olympian All Star, 50 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 1: Defensive Player of the Year, one of the greatest teams 51 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,799 Speaker 1: of all time. I think first battle is stamped. 52 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,640 Speaker 3: Times have changed drastically, is all I'm saying. I mean, 53 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 3: it's the truth, like times of change. 54 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 1: I think if you just look at his statistical numbers, 55 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: people would question that. But I think you look at 56 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 1: the accolades and what he's meant for that organization, I 57 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:31,639 Speaker 1: think that puts him over the top. 58 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 3: Dre, fuck with you. I don't want to hear no 59 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 3: ship later on, you're my. 60 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,079 Speaker 1: Dog because he's someone will slap you too. 61 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 3: Hey, I'm not trying to fight with Draymond, so you bet. 62 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 1: You better go if you're talking about him. But also again, uh, 63 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: and I don't know, now the cat take offense to 64 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 1: this or people are trying to make it seem like 65 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 1: he took offense to his team, to his team. Now 66 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 1: his team's dapping out. No, his team dapping up Draymond 67 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 1: after the game. So the fans stirred it up. Okay, 68 00:02:55,880 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 1: so yes, so yeah, so that's an interesting thing. I mean, 69 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 1: and we got to talking before the show, like obviously 70 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 1: Draymond has smoke with Cat, New York loses, Cat heads 71 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 1: to the locker room, and then you see a bunch 72 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 1: of his teammates dapping up Draymond Me and an old 73 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 1: school mentality such as yourself, what does that tell you 74 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:17,919 Speaker 1: if you see something like that? 75 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,839 Speaker 3: This league is soft and it's changed. And I got 76 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:22,359 Speaker 3: to see you in the locker room about it, Like 77 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:23,920 Speaker 3: you think pat Riley and all that is going for 78 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:25,919 Speaker 3: all of that shit from back in the day, No, 79 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 3: no chance. 80 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 1: Well, I mean I'm to the you know, I was 81 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 1: someone who lost probably six hundred thousand dollars worth of 82 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,640 Speaker 1: shit for taking up for my teammates. You know, So 83 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 1: someone has smoke with my teammate and there's real smoke. 84 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 1: It's smoke, period, you know what I mean. And maybe 85 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 1: we'll catch up after the game or in the summertime. 86 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 1: So but what that tells me is like, are they 87 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 1: really riding with Cat like that? Like if someone is 88 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,839 Speaker 1: dogging Cat and then after the game, the person that's 89 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,839 Speaker 1: dogging Cat, the team is lining up and showing bro love. 90 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 1: If I'm Cat, I'm kind of looking at these niggas, like, 91 00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:58,119 Speaker 1: what's the deal. 92 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 3: But remember you said Cat is a cat. 93 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 1: Cat is a cat. 94 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, so I don't see Kat really steppingto nobody like that. Okay, 95 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 3: I love you too, Cat, all right, so don't be 96 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 3: like that.

He might be 99 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 1: able to whoop you, but he's not real quick man. 100 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 3: Was there ever a time when someone was talking shit 101 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 3: and a teammate had to stand up for you, or 102 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:21,280 Speaker 3: that you had to stand up for a teammate. 103 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 1: Not No one had to stand up for me. I 104 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 1: was always I mean, bro, I lost again probably eighty 105 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:26,960 Speaker 1: five percent of the money.

One thing that has stepped up 168 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 1: during that time is stuff has gone from twenty two 169 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 1: or twenty three a game to twenty nine, six and 170 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 1: four shooting forty two percent from the three point line. 171 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 1: Cominga's back. Now, how serious you are you looking at 172 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 1: the Warriors right now? Real serious? 173 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 3: I mean, Jimmy is a beast, and plus we've never 174 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 3: seen him when he's happy, and he's happy, No, they 175 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 3: getting w's and this is what happens with him. I 176 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 3: remember telling you guys, I wanted Jimmy with us, Yeah, 177 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 3: when they're good when we first were trading for guys. 178 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 3: And I feel like he's taking so much pressure off 179 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 3: of Dre and Bordell. They just playing at peace now 180 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 3: and we're seeing it right. 181 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 1: Now, I've never been a fan of Jimmy's antics some 182 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 1: sometimes how he forces his way out of situations or 183 00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 1: dogs certain people. But I've always been a fan of 184 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 1: his blue caller work ethic. When he's out there and 185 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 1: he plays, he's giving you everything and he's happy. He's 186 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 1: giving you everything he's got. And to see a playoff 187 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 1: Jimmy with the playoff Steph with the Draymond, with the 188 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 1: young Kaminga and that supporting cast, it is going to 189 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 1: be interesting these last game We got fifteen sixteen games left, 190 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 1: this last stretch because obviously we see Okay see at 191 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 1: the top. And I've said this before, This very well 192 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 1: could be the year that Okac says, fuck the Western Conference. 193 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 1: We've taken our lumps and we're gonna represent the Western Conference. 194 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 1: This can also be a year that one of these 195 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 1: more experienced teams, your Lakers, Denver or Golden State possibly 196 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 1: comes out the West. So I think this, this this 197 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,439 Speaker 1: stretch run of these last fifteen is going to be fun. 198 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:47,719 Speaker 3: Well, I'm sure the top three teams don't want to 199 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,679 Speaker 3: see us, the Lakers. I'm sure they don't want to 200 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,440 Speaker 3: see Golden State. Is there a big problem right now? 201 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 3: But I see them winning the championship too, though who 202 00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 3: the Golden State? You can see Golden State one only 203 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,319 Speaker 3: I don't see. I'm not sure about okay. See. So 204 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,079 Speaker 3: to that question Markusov why I couldn't go to state 205 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 3: winning championship this year. 206 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't necessarily disagree. I mean, I don't 207 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 1: think they have the size necessarily, but they've never really 208 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,200 Speaker 1: had the type of size that you would expect from 209 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,679 Speaker 1: a championship team. With Looney down there, and and and 210 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:22,559 Speaker 1: Davis and obviously what Draymond brings you, Steph's if Steph 211 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:24,560 Speaker 1: is out of his mind, if Jimmy is out of 212 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 1: his mind, if Kaminga is locked in Porzinski, I mean, 213 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,959 Speaker 1: they have the pieces to compete. So I think this 214 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 1: is going to be a great last fifteen and really 215 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,840 Speaker 1: excited for what the playoffs are going to bring. On 216 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 1: the flip side, bron went down in Boston, your team 217 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 1: lost four straight on the road. Turned the switch on Sunday, 218 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 1: Luca and them boys really got in the Sun's asses. 219 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,960 Speaker 1: And before we talk about what your Lakers were able 220 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 1: to do, KD seems like he's fucking miserable man. His 221 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:03,880 Speaker 1: body languages A and he's been getting into little beasts 222 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:07,960 Speaker 1: with motherfuckers, and Katie has always been someone that always 223 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,559 Speaker 1: risen above everything. If there's issues, Katie has always risen 224 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 1: above everything. But I really think that owner trying to 225 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,320 Speaker 1: throw him in the trade because Bradley Beal clogged up 226 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 1: the pipeline. I think it fucked Katie's mental enough, and 227 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 1: it really I think he really felt disrespected. I saw 228 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 1: him talk I think Andre Mon Show where obviously he 229 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 1: didn't want to move things during that time, but he 230 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 1: kind of to me left it open to like, Okay, 231 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,960 Speaker 1: this offseason, I could be out of there. What are 232 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 1: your thoughts with that just team overall? I mean, the 233 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 1: experiment has failed, There's no question about it. There's been 234 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,840 Speaker 1: word that Devin Booker has verbally committed to that team 235 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 1: for the rest of his career. You know, you got 236 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,959 Speaker 1: three stars on that team, and it's just a nasty team. 237 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 1: They still have a chance to make the playoffs because 238 00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,200 Speaker 1: Dallas is down and out, but again, I feel like 239 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 1: they're a top heavy team. They're a team and I 240 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 1: said this last year, they're a team that lifts only 241 00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,080 Speaker 1: upper body and their legs are super skinny. With the 242 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 1: big old buff my fucking body up top. Thoughts on 243 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,959 Speaker 1: this Phoenix team and do they make the playoffs and 244 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 1: if they don't, do you see any of their stars moving? 245 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 3: I mean I was talking about them from the beginning, 246 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 3: like when they first came together, like volume shooters for 247 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 3: that team for the price surprise. Oh yeah, too many 248 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,600 Speaker 3: volume shooters on that team for it to work. People 249 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 3: haven't picked to win the championship, like right right away 250 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:21,839 Speaker 3: as soon as they got together. But I think their 251 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 3: run is over. I mean, it's time to move on 252 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,600 Speaker 3: from those three guys and they're almost well, especially Katie, 253 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:29,960 Speaker 3: Like it's sad to see him go out like this 254 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:30,600 Speaker 3: with this mantilla. 255 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,200 Speaker 1: He's such a great Yeah, if Kad were to move, 256 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,319 Speaker 1: do you see any particular landing space, And don't say 257 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 1: the Lakers, nigga, Like, let's be real, do. 258 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 3: You see any landing The only real landing spot for him, 259 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 3: I think is the Rockets. The Rockets, sorry about ok 260 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:44,720 Speaker 3: I guess, but what are they going to give up 261 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 3: to get him back? 262 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 1: If you're okayc management and understanding the great career start 263 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,319 Speaker 1: he had there and he left on kind of sour 264 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 1: terms but obviously one of the greatest players, would you 265 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 1: shake up that lineup to bring up or shake up 266 00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 1: that roster to bring kat in for maybe a two 267 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:00,839 Speaker 1: or three year championship run. 268 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:02,560 Speaker 3: I'm not giving up Chat or one of our top 269 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 3: three guys to get him, though, So if they can 270 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 3: get him with some picks or whatever else magic they 271 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 3: can use to get him there, then yeah, but I'm 272 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 3: not giving up our main guys right now. 273 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 1: So no Ju, no Chet, and obviously SGA is untradable, 274 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 1: right so none of those three. But outside of that, 275 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,200 Speaker 1: anyone else can go absolutely, and you guys can have 276 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,200 Speaker 1: all our picks. I wouldn't say all of them, because 277 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 1: you guys have a lot. I mean, okay see has 278 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 1: a lot of but Kti is worth a lot of Yeah, 279 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:28,319 Speaker 1: I mean, if Bridges his five picks and and motherfucking 280 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 1: Rudy Gobert is what eighteen first round picks like, Katie 281 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 1: is definitely still at this age going to demand that respect. 282 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 1: And but it'll be interesting, you know, obviously, Houston's a 283 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 1: young team with udak Over one of the best coaches 284 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 1: in the league, and they got a great young core, 285 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:43,959 Speaker 1: and it'll be interesting to see what those two teams 286 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 1: do in this playoff run because obviously Houston's still young, 287 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 1: so they're still rolling in the dice. But okay, being 288 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 1: at the top, Okay, so he's been at the top 289 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 1: of the division the last two years, and we'll see 290 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,079 Speaker 1: if they're be ready to take that job. 291 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,120 Speaker 3: Why can't we get them? Why can't the Lakers get Kdi? 292 00:12:57,920 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 3: What would you have to give up for that? You'd 293 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:02,960 Speaker 3: have to give up AAR and before you didn't want to. 294 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 3: Before you want to give up AAR. But I think 295 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 3: he's shown you his that white boy magic on that 296 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 3: Laker team. 297 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:11,960 Speaker 1: Is strong, going hard. Now that you throw Luca in 298 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 1: that category, he's got a little uh, he's got a 299 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,160 Speaker 1: little pigment in him. 300 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:17,960 Speaker 3: Connect actually is balling too, man like. 301 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,440 Speaker 1: He still got that chip on his shoulder, bro. And 302 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,559 Speaker 1: Connect is one of those rare four years if I'm 303 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 1: not mistaken, college guys that came in was ready to 304 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,760 Speaker 1: play right away, you know what I mean. So I 305 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 1: don't see him going to the Lakers. I don't think 306 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 1: you really do either, but you can be hopeful. 307 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,640 Speaker 3: And he's not going anywhere east, right, I don't know. No, 308 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 3: you never know what KD Man, You never know. I mean, 309 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:39,720 Speaker 3: he may not go anywhere. He may end up staying 310 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,560 Speaker 3: in Phoenix. I don't see it, but it's possible. 311 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:46,320 Speaker 1: Brown. During his time down, he got a chance to 312 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 1: go see Bryce up in Sacramento win the state championships. 313 00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 1: Credit congratulations, Sierra Canyon Mission League, Mission League in the house. 314 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 1: Uh s got the championship out there and uh and Sacramento. 315 00:13:57,720 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 1: Bron was able to catch that, And they say he's 316 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 1: supposed to be back and possibly another week. The Lakers 317 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 1: have four home games this week. Do you think this 318 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 1: team is trying to kind of find something without Braun? 319 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:11,319 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm all for broun resting going into the 320 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:13,320 Speaker 1: playoffs because they're definitely going to need him. You guys 321 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,080 Speaker 1: have a legitimate shot to represent the Western Conference right now. 322 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,440 Speaker 1: What have you kind of seen from this team with 323 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 1: Braun out? 324 00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 3: I mean, guys are finding their place. I'm sure I 325 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 3: watched Bron last night. Just sit back and watch. She 326 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 3: wasn't clapping anything, just saying who the guys will be 327 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 3: when he gets back. But to be honest with you, 328 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 3: is the first time I realized how bad we needed 329 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 3: Bron in games, especially at the end of games, like 330 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 3: you know, we get him help all through the through 331 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 3: the game, but at the end. 332 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 1: Of games you really need him. 333 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 3: And Luca's Luca triple double guy, right, all he is 334 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 3: is triple double all of a sudden to. 335 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,560 Speaker 1: Me, not all of a sudden, He's been this guy. 336 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 3: You just didn't want to admit it. We first got him. 337 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 3: True that, true that, But really now that I have 338 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 3: to buy into our team, well just. 339 00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 1: Now that you watch him, see you play, see him 340 00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 1: play every day like it's crazy. And then this idiot 341 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 1: DeMont is still out here talking shit about Luca. He's 342 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 1: You're the biggest fucking clown in the whole NBA. You 343 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 1: are the biggest clown. Just shut up. Just stop talking 344 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,320 Speaker 1: about it, like you fucked up. Take that fuck up. 345 00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 1: But shut the fuck up. Bro. You keep talking about 346 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 1: Luca as he's continuing to obviously move on and do 347 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 1: his thing, and you're like the X that continues to 348 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 1: talk about like, man, shut the fuck up, but go ahead. 349 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:25,239 Speaker 3: Luca's my guy now, okay, so lucas your guy. Yeah, 350 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 3: I'm with you all the way seventy seven. I'm buying 351 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 3: your shoes and everything. Yeah, boy, but we're looking good. 352 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 3: I think when Lebron gets back and all of our 353 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 3: guys come back. It's time to jail and get together. 354 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 3: Like I think we're the team to beat in the West. 355 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 1: I'm not even mad at that statement. I'm really not. 356 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,800 Speaker 1: I don't know. I saw Stephen A. Smith talk about 357 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:47,560 Speaker 1: something this morning on ESPN that he feels like Boston 358 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 1: would probably run the Lakers out of the gym in 359 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 1: the finals. And I think I kind of agree with 360 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 1: that because they do have the youth and the experience. 361 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 1: But he was talking about what an amazing finals would 362 00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 1: be with Lebron versus Cleveland. I'd be crazy. 363 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 3: I mean imagine, okay, see versus Cleveland. No one wants 364 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 3: to see that, I don't think, with all due respect. 365 00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 3: And that's two great young teams with Mitchell and Shade, 366 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:10,440 Speaker 3: but I don't think the ratings are going to be 367 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,520 Speaker 3: what they're expecting with those two teams. But Adam silver 368 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,080 Speaker 3: Man do the shit man button? Yeah, come on, man, 369 00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:16,480 Speaker 3: let's go. 370 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 1: So you want to see Lakers Boston or Lakers Cleveland or. 371 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 3: They both have storylines, don't they great? So Cleveland trying 372 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:28,080 Speaker 3: to get it against Lebron? Pause you that would be 373 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 3: huge for a television game. 374 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 1: You can throw golden and state in there the storylines 375 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:37,400 Speaker 1: with greatness absolutely question this is not even all script. 376 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 1: But if Steph gets another ring during Lebron's watch, what 377 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,040 Speaker 1: does that do to the hierarchy of the game. 378 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 3: Well, I don't care how many rings he gets. This 379 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,920 Speaker 3: man has fifty k. It's a lot of so regardless 380 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 3: of however many rings Steph gets above him, they're building 381 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 3: a whole news like section of the Hall of Fame 382 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 3: for Lebron. 383 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 1: So do I think it'll wreck his I don't. I 384 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 1: wouldn't say I think wreck You can't take away with 385 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:10,119 Speaker 1: Bron diminish. But I remember, like the talk has always 386 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,400 Speaker 1: been like who got it on your watch? Right? Who 387 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:14,520 Speaker 1: got it on M's watch? Who got it on COVID 388 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:17,439 Speaker 1: Shack's watch? Now who's getting it on Lebron's watch? And 389 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,880 Speaker 1: if someone that came in is played similar I mean 390 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 1: Bron's he played four more years than stuff off, I think. 391 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 1: But if Steph somehow walks away with five rings and 392 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:31,359 Speaker 1: Lebron walks away with four, does that strengthen anyone's argument 393 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 1: to Lebron's greatness? 394 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 3: Yes? And I only say that because how could you 395 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:39,720 Speaker 3: let someone get more rings than you? 396 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,960 Speaker 1: Your watching guy? Yeah? And the guy that stayed in 397 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,560 Speaker 1: the same spot, yeah the whole time. 398 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:49,480 Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, But I don't think they'll ever let Steph 399 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 3: move around Lebron, even though they say that he's been 400 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,359 Speaker 3: the guy to change the game so much. But I 401 00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:56,879 Speaker 3: don't think he'll ever be able to. I don't care 402 00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:57,680 Speaker 3: how many rings he gets. 403 00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 1: Sobron is top three and if you put them one, 404 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,640 Speaker 1: two or three, that's respectable. As Steph cracked the top ten. 405 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 3: No, yes, I'm sorry, yes, yeah, absolutely has he cracked 406 00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:09,720 Speaker 3: the top ten? Com on one thousand threes? 407 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:11,800 Speaker 1: I'm asking some people probably say. 408 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 3: No, four thousand threes is crazy. Absolutely, Oh are you 409 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:21,439 Speaker 3: asking me if he's going over magic? Don't ask me 410 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:23,600 Speaker 3: that because I'm from a La baby and nobody's going 411 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:24,720 Speaker 3: over magic for me like that. 412 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 1: So no, And you gotta think what magic only played 413 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,919 Speaker 1: eleven years, went to the finals nine times, got five rings, 414 00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,440 Speaker 1: three finals MVPs. If I'm not mistaken, I'm just going 415 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 1: off the top of my head. But that's a hell 416 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,359 Speaker 1: up of feet. That's herve though. Man, you gotta stop 417 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:39,639 Speaker 1: playing with his name the magic. 418 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:40,919 Speaker 3: Yeah, you gotta stop playing. 419 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,080 Speaker 1: This next segment is brought to you by Rose Sparks. 420 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,560 Speaker 1: Is it Sparks or five? Did you see this video 421 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,400 Speaker 1: of scal this weekend? This dude at the park? I did, 422 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 1: What do you think about that?

I used to think he was an asshole. 425 00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:58,800 Speaker 1: He probably thought I was an asshole. But he's always 426 00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 1: had game. And for me, he's always been one of 427 00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 1: the most disrespected dudes. But he had super game, has 428 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:08,399 Speaker 1: always had game. This dude, Messiah is an older dude. 429 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:09,800 Speaker 1: I don't know if you want to call him a 430 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:11,359 Speaker 1: park legend, I want to disrespect him. He may be 431 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,399 Speaker 1: a park legend out there, but when he plays these dudes, 432 00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:19,000 Speaker 1: all he does is fallim and talk shit. And Scout 433 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:22,120 Speaker 1: wasn't having none of that. Skout was ready to scrap. 434 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,080 Speaker 1: Have big fella throwing the ball over the fence.

You weren't paying. 455 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:22,600 Speaker 1: I ain't trying to fight you now. But I was 456 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 1: happy for it because I think people get the misconception 457 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,439 Speaker 1: of guys that may be on the end of the 458 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:29,680 Speaker 1: bench or or or don't play a ton like can't 459 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 1: play like No, they're a pro for a reason. You 460 00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 1: give them an opportunity to get out in another setting 461 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 1: and they will dominate. So I think the same is Messiah, 462 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,960 Speaker 1: George the Messiah stick to playing dudes that didn't play 463 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:47,880 Speaker 1: real basketball and bullying them because Scout gave you everything 464 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,879 Speaker 1: you look for. Had you out there crying, boohooing, throwing 465 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:52,920 Speaker 1: the ball over the fence, pout and talking about fouls 466 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 1: when all you do is foul Scout, wait to bust 467 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:57,359 Speaker 1: his ass, bro. So what we just watched is it 468 00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 1: Sparks the fire. That's motherfucking fire. Yes, a great period, 469 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,720 Speaker 1: great fire. He was Massai might have been on Sparks, 470 00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:08,080 Speaker 1: but Scout was on Skal was on real fire, and 471 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:11,440 Speaker 1: I loved it. Well, Gino man, I appreciate your time. Man. 472 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 1: Hopefully Bron will be back this week or by the 473 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,280 Speaker 1: end of next week, so we'll be talking about his 474 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 1: comeback in the team's final ten games headed into the playoffs. 475 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 1: Shout out Row indeed, So March Madness is officially here 476 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,159 Speaker 1: and all the Smoke is.

Obviously, March madness is here. 480 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:42,680 Speaker 1: And I think one of the hottest topics of late 481 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 1: has been the NCAA, the nil and these old ass 482 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,919 Speaker 1: men playing college basketball. And I want to make this 483 00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:55,600 Speaker 1: very clear, By no way do I fault the players 484 00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:59,560 Speaker 1: that are taking advantage of a situation that are the 485 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,160 Speaker 1: nc DOLA has no control over. But if you look 486 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:04,720 Speaker 1: at a team like Auburn who has an average age 487 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,720 Speaker 1: older than the Oklahoma City Thunder, you look at Rick Patino, 488 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 1: who's team, who's is a two seed, congratulations, But he's 489 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:14,439 Speaker 1: talking about I'm not recruiting high school players. Dan Hurley 490 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:16,399 Speaker 1: talking about half his team will jump in the portal 491 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,640 Speaker 1: after winning back to back championships. Like, I think there's 492 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:23,120 Speaker 1: a real issue in the NCAA, whether it be money, 493 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 1: and we've always screamed for money, so we can't really 494 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:26,760 Speaker 1: be complaining about the money. But I just think there 495 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 1: needs to be some sort of regulation and age limit 496 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 1: in college because college used to be for amateurs. College 497 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:33,879 Speaker 1: used to be for eighteen year old kids coming out 498 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,680 Speaker 1: of high school and looking to get to that next level, 499 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,880 Speaker 1: and now you're seeing twenty three, twenty four, twenty five, 500 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 1: twenty six year olds playing college sports and it's to me, 501 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 1: it's ridiculous. And again by no means of my faulting 502 00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:50,400 Speaker 1: the athletes, because the money's there and there's no regulations 503 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 1: on it. Get all the motherfucking money and experience you can. 504 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 1: But I just think that shit is wait. I think 505 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:58,240 Speaker 1: college is supposed to be for kids coming out of 506 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:00,440 Speaker 1: high school trying to get to that next level, and 507 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,639 Speaker 1: they're being washed out, looked over having to go to 508 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,800 Speaker 1: jc's because there's fucking twenty six year old men with 509 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,199 Speaker 1: two kids that are playing in front of them. So 510 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,240 Speaker 1: I don't agree with that. I think it's stupid. I 511 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,680 Speaker 1: think the NCAA needs to do something. The nc LOBDA 512 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:18,680 Speaker 1: was always behind the curve always, They've always been behind 513 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,040 Speaker 1: the curve. They've never been ahead of anything. It's always 514 00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,439 Speaker 1: been a mess. You guys need to let Jay Billis 515 00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:25,960 Speaker 1: run that shit. Jay Billis is always talking real shit. 516 00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:28,120 Speaker 1: You guys need to get the fuck out the way. Jay. 517 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:30,439 Speaker 1: You need to retire from your analyst job and go 518 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:32,880 Speaker 1: run the NCAA because I think you make the most 519 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 1: sense every time you talk about it. But that's neither 520 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:40,119 Speaker 1: here nor there. Another thing that's been talked about a 521 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:43,280 Speaker 1: lot Shaka Smart and what he's doing over at Marquette, 522 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 1: not allowing agents in the mix to get cuts of 523 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:50,280 Speaker 1: his players in il money or collective money, and some 524 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 1: of his top players are using him as a representative. 525 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:55,720 Speaker 1: He's not taking no bread and these guys are getting 526 00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:59,200 Speaker 1: their full money. So it'll be interesting to see. Obviously, 527 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:00,480 Speaker 1: there's a lot of what ifs and that kind of 528 00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 1: situation that do you have that kind of trust in 529 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 1: other programs? Who knows? But I love what Shaka is doing. 530 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:07,520 Speaker 1: He's allowing these kids to kind of really eat in 531 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:12,560 Speaker 1: a safe environment without predators praying over the top of 532 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:16,639 Speaker 1: these youngsters. We've been in recent conversations with colleges about 533 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,600 Speaker 1: doing some nil stuff and creating content around it, because 534 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,320 Speaker 1: we know that content is king, and these kids really 535 00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:24,000 Speaker 1: want to learn how to grow their brand. So there's 536 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:25,879 Speaker 1: definitely a laying there and I'm excited that we're going 537 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 1: to be able to start helping some of these college 538 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 1: kids develop their brand off the court. But let's get 539 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 1: to what it is right now. Man March Madness one 540 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 1: of the best times of the year. Myself and the 541 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,840 Speaker 1: team got a chance to go to u c LA 542 00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 1: this past weekend and host a panel for the women's team. 543 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 1: Shout out coach Corey, who has always been amazing and 544 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:53,959 Speaker 1: goes out of her way to reach out to the 545 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:59,080 Speaker 1: men alumni to be a part and seeing the bigger 546 00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:02,440 Speaker 1: picture and understanding it was a really awkward situation because 547 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:06,840 Speaker 1: I went in there on Sunday and the men's selection 548 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,200 Speaker 1: show was just ending and I saw my guy, Doug Erickson. 549 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 1: He was kind of surprised, like what are you doing here? 550 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:12,320 Speaker 1: And I was like, you know, Coach Corey wanted me 551 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:15,159 Speaker 1: to come do a panel for the women's team, And 552 00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:17,760 Speaker 1: it was just kind of a weird feeling that the 553 00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:20,920 Speaker 1: UCLA men's team and coach Cronin and you know, whether 554 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,360 Speaker 1: you like him or not, it's really not ever leading 555 00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:25,920 Speaker 1: up to me. I don't really care, but how he 556 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,920 Speaker 1: just doesn't give a fuck about the guys that came 557 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 1: before at all. No conversation, no effort, no nothing. And 558 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 1: on the flip side, Coach Corey, who's been there for 559 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 1: nearly fourteen years, goes out of her way to reach 560 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:42,240 Speaker 1: out to us, send us gear, send us shoes, check 561 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:44,840 Speaker 1: on the family. I'm like, I never played for her, 562 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,640 Speaker 1: never knew her before this opportunity, but she's just amazing 563 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 1: and really wanted to give her a shout out for 564 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,679 Speaker 1: just the way she goes about it. But anyway, I 565 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 1: went up there and hosted a panel where I got 566 00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:57,920 Speaker 1: a chance to talk to coach Corey, talk to Lauren 567 00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 1: Bett's Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year, Kicky Rice 568 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:05,640 Speaker 1: all Big Ten, and Gabrielle hakez Hi MAI's little sister 569 00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 1: who was out there doing her things, so it was 570 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,000 Speaker 1: really cool. Got a chance to sit down talk to them, 571 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,840 Speaker 1: talked about their experience at u c l A, their 572 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 1: upcoming battle, and and and their seed in the tournament, 573 00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:22,639 Speaker 1: and it was a great time. They got the number 574 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:24,960 Speaker 1: one seed and we'll be playing at home their first 575 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 1: two games, which is amazing. They're down the road cross 576 00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,920 Speaker 1: rivals Juju and the USC Trojans got the fourth number 577 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:33,600 Speaker 1: one seed and their coach came out and felt a 578 00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:37,680 Speaker 1: little disrespected about that seed. But nevertheless, I know SC 579 00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:41,360 Speaker 1: will be ready to rock. You know. The crazy part, 580 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 1: I would say, I will say that the men's there 581 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 1: there's more hype around the men's bracket this year. But 582 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,200 Speaker 1: I would also say is there's a lot of hype 583 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:55,080 Speaker 1: around the women's tournament. Uh this uh, this upcoming March, 584 00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 1: so really excited to see both. I know the men 585 00:26:58,080 --> 00:26:59,720 Speaker 1: are the men, the men are the seventh seed. I 586 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,360 Speaker 1: think the play Utahs State in the first round, which 587 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:04,520 Speaker 1: will be a solid matchup, and if they're able to 588 00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 1: get by them, they'll play the winner of the Tennessee game. 589 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:09,199 Speaker 1: And Tennessee's playing some good ball right now. So wishing 590 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:13,480 Speaker 1: the men's team well in their journey, and definitely wishing 591 00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:17,000 Speaker 1: the women's side well. You know, they got a nice 592 00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,119 Speaker 1: draw and if it all comes down to it, I 593 00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:21,359 Speaker 1: think they would play sc in the final four, which 594 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:22,879 Speaker 1: I was hoping to have that on them on the 595 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,200 Speaker 1: other side, and possibly play them in the National Championship. 596 00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 1: We're obviously not looking ahead, but if we are looking ahead, 597 00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:29,640 Speaker 1: I think it's going to be a crazy final four. 598 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:34,120 Speaker 1: But good luck to all the teams in this bracket, 599 00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:37,520 Speaker 1: in this madness. I remember personally, March madness was the 600 00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:39,399 Speaker 1: funnest time, one of the funnest times of my life. 601 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,679 Speaker 1: So enjoy it, embrace it, play every game like at 602 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,000 Speaker 1: your last, because it can be Our brothers Ac and 603 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:48,280 Speaker 1: Barack sat down with the one and only Ryan Garcia 604 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:50,640 Speaker 1: on ring champs, take a look this at it. 605 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,560 Speaker 2: But again, at that time, nothing was gonna get to me. 606 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:53,760 Speaker 3: Bro. 607 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:57,360 Speaker 2: I swear, I swear I was in a whole different universe. 608 00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:59,720 Speaker 2: To be honest, did you think you would never come 609 00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:00,560 Speaker 2: back one hundred? 610 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:01,640 Speaker 1: I didn't think. 611 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:03,240 Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm surprised I'm here right now. 612 00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:03,560 Speaker 1: Really. 613 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:07,720 Speaker 2: I was drinking every day, every single day, even the 614 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:11,040 Speaker 2: day of the fight.
