And we'll 61 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 4: get to Brownie later. We'll get to him coming up 62 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 4: in the second second segment of the show, but I 63 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 4: think right now I would love to get your opinion 64 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 4: and your take on there being so many overseas players. 65 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 4: You get the one and the two, then you get 66 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 4: a number six and number twelve, so just outside of 67 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 4: the ten you get one. 68 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 3: And it's just that's a lot. That's a lot of 69 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 3: overseas players. 70 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 4: And to think that you know, the dream team, you 71 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 4: know the dominance of American basketball, USA basketball, and now 72 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 4: two years in a row you have a overseas player 73 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 4: that goes tops in the draft. 74 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 3: What what was Did you have a take on it? 75 00:03:59,360 --> 00:03:59,839 Speaker 3: You know what? 76 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 5: You know what Kobe Bryant said this was going to happen, 77 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 5: you know, ten years ago when he came out and said, 78 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 5: you know, and one day in this NBA, the players 79 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 5: from overseas are going to become more skilled basketball players 80 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,480 Speaker 5: and the players in the US because of the fundamentals, 81 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,479 Speaker 5: the details. Those guys are actually working on their game 82 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:27,919 Speaker 5: to get to the NBA. And and you look at 83 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,280 Speaker 5: the NBA today who are arguably two of the best 84 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:39,919 Speaker 5: players in the world Joker, Joker and and Luca and Luca. 85 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 5: So when you look at it from that aspect, you 86 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,919 Speaker 5: you're talking about these guys from France and you know, 87 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 5: Serbia and all these guys from overseas, they are basically 88 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 5: when there when they're kids, everybody basically idolizes somebody. And 89 00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,600 Speaker 5: and that's how it is. When you're a kid, you know, 90 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 5: you want to play basketball, and they're idolizing guys that 91 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 5: they see on TV in the NBA. You know what, 92 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,599 Speaker 5: I want to be like that guy to get to 93 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,920 Speaker 5: the NBA. So that's why I believe that you're seeing 94 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,720 Speaker 5: the transition from you know, all of these, all of 95 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:19,720 Speaker 5: the American born players versus the guys overseas is because 96 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 5: you know, this whole AAU program with basketball, it's really 97 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 5: taken away from the details and the teaching from you know, 98 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:33,840 Speaker 5: from an American point of view to uh to uh, 99 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,600 Speaker 5: you know, develop young talent over here. And I'm just 100 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,159 Speaker 5: one of the main reasons because of this insurgence of 101 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 5: these players from overseas, because we're not developing our own 102 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:50,040 Speaker 5: players and kids here, everybody will everybody wants to bag, 103 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,479 Speaker 5: everybody wants to make the highlights on Instagram and on 104 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 5: and on social media and sports and and all of 105 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,480 Speaker 5: these things. And I'm not saying that we don't have 106 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 5: you know, fundamentally sound players, but the players from overseas 107 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 5: are more well rounded basketball players, uh, you know coming 108 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 5: into our league. Do you think that that's a symptom 109 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 5: of how how things are structured from educational perspectives and 110 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 5: all of that. You know, in America. This may sound offensive, 111 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 5: but I just you know, I like shoot from the hip. 112 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 4: We like to act as though academics is more important 113 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 4: than athletics. That's why they call athletics and sports extra 114 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 4: curricular activities. They don't consider them curricular activities, so it's extra. 115 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 3: And and to me, when you know, when. 116 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 4: I've traveled overseas, bro you can go to places where 117 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 4: it's all about soccer, where it's all about rugby, where 118 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,720 Speaker 4: it's all about out tennis, where it's all about baseball, 119 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:06,919 Speaker 4: where it's all about basketball. You know, and and I 120 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 4: used to ask a questions like, well, you know, what 121 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 4: is that? 122 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 3: What does that represent? 123 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 4: Like they say it's really really hard to get into 124 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 4: these academies or whatever it may be, but that literally 125 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,680 Speaker 4: becomes their their lifestyle. Like they've gone to basically a 126 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 4: university as a kid and are developed in that sport 127 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 4: in particular for all these years. Do you feel like, 128 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 4: I mean, with that being said, we are talking development. 129 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 3: When is the time? 130 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 4: When is there like what what structure exists in America 131 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 4: where you could actually have the all day amount of 132 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 4: time that some of these guys are receiving and these 133 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 4: guys are receiving abroad. 134 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 5: But you know what that is what I believe what 135 00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 5: the I'm genes of the world trying are trying to 136 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 5: do right right get these kids in that setting twenty 137 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 5: four to seven. And you know, it was something that 138 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 5: we were thinking about for my daughter because she's just 139 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 5: so passionate about basketball. She plays basketball all day, every day. 140 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 5: She's driven the basketball. And I'm saying to were saying 141 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 5: to ourselves that, man, listen, we don't have enough time 142 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 5: to dedicate to her for the amount of passion that 143 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 5: she has for this sport. So what can we do 144 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 5: to maximize everything that she wants to do and wants 145 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 5: to become. 146 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 3: And you look at it. 147 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:43,319 Speaker 5: And Yannis the Joker, Luca, these guys are playing professional 148 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:48,040 Speaker 5: basketball at fourteen and fifteen years old. Yeah, so when 149 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 5: they get to the when they come over to the NBA, 150 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 5: these guys are basically already seasoned and the maturity level 151 00:08:55,840 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 5: is a lot higher than the guys fourteen years old 152 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 5: here because of what we're doing. We're still in middle school. 153 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,680 Speaker 5: They have they have a four or five year jump 154 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 5: on us as far as from an experience standpoint of 155 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,840 Speaker 5: playing and learning how to play the pro basketball early 156 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:16,319 Speaker 5: at that level and play on those stages four or 157 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,680 Speaker 5: five years before we even graduated high school. 158 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 3: And we don't have that. Was like, we have rules 159 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 3: on us, right like you have that you have to 160 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:25,079 Speaker 3: go to college. 161 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 5: So I think that That's one of the main reasons 162 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:31,080 Speaker 5: also why you're seeing so many players overseas coming to 163 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,560 Speaker 5: the NBA and you're like, well, what the hell would 164 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,720 Speaker 5: did did a Luca Daunches come from? Why is he 165 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 5: so good coming into his first year? You know what, 166 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 5: He's been playing pro basketball for the last six years, 167 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,719 Speaker 5: since he was fourteen to fifteen years old. And that's 168 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 5: why you've seen these guys come up with the success 169 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 5: that they're having because they've they've already done it while 170 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:53,079 Speaker 5: we're still in you know, ninth grade. What were you 171 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,720 Speaker 5: doing in ninth grade? You was like playing everything exactly, 172 00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,320 Speaker 5: So we're trying to figure out out next what exactly 173 00:09:59,400 --> 00:09:59,840 Speaker 5: all were going. 174 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 3: They've been doing it for so long. This is why 175 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 3: the reason. 176 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 5: In the NBA crony right now you can say that 177 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,319 Speaker 5: for the top five players in the world. 178 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 3: Off from overseas. 179 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 4: I mean you could expand that because you can get 180 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 4: into Embied, you can you can get into so many 181 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 4: other guys that are are from abroad that. 182 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, and you look at guys like SGA like they're 183 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 3: from Canada. 184 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, and there you got Canadian players. I mean Edie, right, 185 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:35,319 Speaker 4: isn't Edie from Canada? Zach Edy, Zach Edy, And speaking 186 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 4: of Zach Edy, you know the the you know, college 187 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 4: was well represented in the top ten picks, especially with 188 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:46,080 Speaker 4: Kentucky and Connecticut having two each go in the top ten. 189 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,640 Speaker 3: So they're the blue bloods. 190 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 4: Did place, They did place, they just did not place 191 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,960 Speaker 4: or grade out as high as oversea players. I think 192 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,080 Speaker 4: it's an interesting conversation that will persist. 193 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:00,120 Speaker 3: What does that look like? 194 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 4: You know, when you know, if the Olympics take place 195 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,839 Speaker 4: and you see is it the dream team anymore? 196 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,720 Speaker 3: Or is that just the dream? You know, it's interesting. 197 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 4: To see how much has the world caught up to 198 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 4: Americans in terms of their ability to play basketball. But 199 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 4: that's a question that won't be answered today, but it 200 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 4: will be debated for days and days and months and 201 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 4: all that stuff to come. So oh yeah, there was 202 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 4: a day too, and that storyline was dominated by one brownie, James. 203 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 4: Would he get drafted?

I mean, that's 245 00:13:57,800 --> 00:13:58,840 Speaker 3: what it seems like to me. 246 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,720 Speaker 5: I mean, we're sitting here watching Rob Polinka do all 247 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:06,320 Speaker 5: these interviews with the hiring and JJ Redick and said 248 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 5: he was saying that Lebron was very supportive in the 249 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:11,679 Speaker 5: process and he. 250 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 3: Wasn't involved, but he was supportive. 251 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,160 Speaker 5: You know, everything that we had to say about JJ Redick, 252 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 5: And we're like, dude, man, they're on the same podcast again, 253 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 5: like what are you talking about? 254 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,800 Speaker 3: He was supportive? Of course, that's the main. 255 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 5: Reason why he was considered a candidate fun of but 256 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,560 Speaker 5: get go, if he was not on this podcast with 257 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 5: Lebron James, he would not be the head coach of 258 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,360 Speaker 5: the Los Angeles Lakers right now. Let's just get out 259 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 5: there and just say that. And then on the second 260 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 5: part of it, in this interview a couple of days ago, 261 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 5: Polik goes on there and says, you know what, it 262 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 5: wasn't even really about basketball. If something like this is 263 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 5: going to happen in the NBA history, why not let 264 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 5: it happen in the Lakers jersey and the Lakers uniform, 265 00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:01,040 Speaker 5: meaning that you know, Lebron and le BRONI will be 266 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 5: the first father son duo to play on the same 267 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 5: team NBA history. Why not make this happen in a 268 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 5: lake of Jersey. So you might as well just say, look, listen, 269 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 5: Lebron's from the team. It's okay. I know you're hide 270 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 5: behind the facts of what we already know, but it's 271 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:23,120 Speaker 5: just too many things happening in this organization. That's that's 272 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 5: that's telling us that he is really pulling the strings 273 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 5: of Genie Buss and Rob Polink of this this organization 274 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 5: and give me God, I was going to ask you, 275 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 5: I was gonna follow up with you in terms of 276 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 5: what you're saying. I do think that people people understand that. Listen, 277 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 5: you get a player of Lebron James caliber on your 278 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:50,280 Speaker 5: your roster, you're not you're not going to want to 279 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 5: lose that player. 280 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,640 Speaker 4: That's that's first and foremost right. That's you just don't 281 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 4: want to lose that player. That's that's one. Secondly, once 282 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 4: you realize that, okay, well you're going to have to 283 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 4: do some things. You may have to do some things 284 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 4: that you might not want to do in order to 285 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:10,120 Speaker 4: keep him around. 286 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:14,840 Speaker 3: And listen, I would ask you this. 287 00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:20,760 Speaker 4: Does it being historical, it happening in the Lakers' uniform, 288 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 4: that's great, But do you feel as though Bronnie James 289 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 4: getting drafted at fifty five was like was it a 290 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 4: legitimate draft pick even with knowing the influence of Lebron 291 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 4: James or is this one of those things where it's 292 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,360 Speaker 4: like come on, Like is it a come on moment 293 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 4: or is it a like, ah, legit, like yeah, the 294 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:46,280 Speaker 4: kid caball you know, fifty five, there's only you know 295 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:50,400 Speaker 4: what fifty eight or so picks in the NBA draft like, yeah, 296 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 4: get the guy go. 297 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 3: You know, man, it's a little bit of both of me. 298 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:59,800 Speaker 5: I think Lebron, you know, obviously, you know, had everything 299 00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 5: that with what transpired with as far as the Lakers 300 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,200 Speaker 5: taking him at fifty five, But at the same time, 301 00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:10,760 Speaker 5: the draft wasn't really that good. This was not a 302 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 5: great draft. To be drafted at fifty fifth, I think 303 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:15,960 Speaker 5: really says it's a lot. And they were saying that 304 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:19,880 Speaker 5: basically Rich Paul was picking up the phone calling teams 305 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:23,160 Speaker 5: don't draft him before fifty five. He's going to Australia. 306 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:27,720 Speaker 5: Is Brownie James that great of a player that that 307 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:32,120 Speaker 5: that an organization would not take him because they were 308 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:35,119 Speaker 5: afraid that their draft pick was going to Australia. 309 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 3: I mean, come on, man, we got to stop that. 310 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:44,000 Speaker 3: We drafted we really were. We got to stop that 311 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:45,639 Speaker 3: he wasn't getting drafted. 312 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 5: Oh you're threatening us that he's going to Australia if 313 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:53,639 Speaker 5: we draft him. Trust me, he's not that dominant or 314 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 5: going to be that great of a basketball player for 315 00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:00,800 Speaker 5: a GM and an organization not to draft him. Come on, man, 316 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,879 Speaker 5: I mean, I don't know they're going draft him and 317 00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 5: will will take your rights, you know, We'll take that rights. 318 00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:09,080 Speaker 3: But I don't know. 319 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:13,840 Speaker 5: I'm gonna get to what what the biggest deal to 320 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 5: me about this whole thing is, Okay, we are going 321 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:19,680 Speaker 5: to do everything for our kids. 322 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,000 Speaker 3: It doesn't matter what it is in life. 323 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 5: We are going to help them accomplish whatever they we 324 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 5: need to do as parents because that is what we 325 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:33,120 Speaker 5: are supposed to do. But I'm saying I have nothing 326 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:34,760 Speaker 5: to say about barne jay. I think he's a I 327 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 5: think he's a good basketball player. Do I think he 328 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,879 Speaker 5: was a player that should have been drafted. I do not. 329 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,960 Speaker 5: But I think that the position that Lebron has put 330 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 5: this young man in it's unfair to him because here 331 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,159 Speaker 5: here he is a guy that everybody's saying, he's not 332 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:55,879 Speaker 5: an NBA player. He's he averaged four points in in 333 00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:57,160 Speaker 5: in college. 334 00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 3: Does there's not one player in. 335 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:04,720 Speaker 5: College basketball that would average four points and two rebounds 336 00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:08,840 Speaker 5: and into himself and enter himself into the NBA draft 337 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,480 Speaker 5: as a frank, not one player in the world would 338 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,359 Speaker 5: ever do that. But he can do it because of 339 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,000 Speaker 5: it's who his father is. No players going into the 340 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:20,119 Speaker 5: draft averaging four points in college it's not going to happen. 341 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:23,200 Speaker 5: They're going to stay another year or maybe or maybe 342 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:27,920 Speaker 5: two or three years.

And if that's the case, I recall us 413 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:10,919 Speaker 4: having this debate not too long ago about who the 414 00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:15,080 Speaker 4: better athletes were, and the kid Austin Rivers coming out 415 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 4: and saying that everybody in the in the NBA could 416 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 4: play in the NFL, but you couldn't find anybody in 417 00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 4: the NFL to play in the NBA. 418 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:29,879 Speaker 8: Does it isn't the credibility of the NBA now up 419 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,479 Speaker 8: for debate. Is it the credibility of know what it 420 00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:35,119 Speaker 8: takes to be an NBA player up for debate. 421 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,560 Speaker 5: It's not because people are afraid to tell Lebron James no. 422 00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:42,560 Speaker 5: They won't. They won't tell him no. Just it was 423 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 5: one person to tell him no, and that was Pat Raleigh. 424 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:47,920 Speaker 5: Lebron James went to pat Raley, asked him to fire 425 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:51,080 Speaker 5: Xpochure and pat Raley said no. Lebron left them, went 426 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 5: to the Lakers. That's the reason why he's playing for 427 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,280 Speaker 5: the Lakers right now because pat Raley told him no. 428 00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:59,360 Speaker 5: The credibility of the of the NBA is what it's 429 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,639 Speaker 5: going to be as long as Lebron James is a 430 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 5: part of your basketball team. 431 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:03,520 Speaker 3: Dang. 432 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:07,520 Speaker 5: And that's the unfortunate part of the whole thing, and 433 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:11,399 Speaker 5: everybody saying this, You know, Bonnie James, he's going to 434 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:13,360 Speaker 5: come into the summer league or he's going to come 435 00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:15,280 Speaker 5: into the regular season with a chip on the shoulder. 436 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,240 Speaker 3: What about these guys that he's going to be playing 437 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,480 Speaker 3: against in the summer league that are undrafted?

I would not do that because I not, 517 00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:11,680 Speaker 4: not for the simple fact of anything else other than 518 00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:16,640 Speaker 4: you're if you can't do it at this level, there 519 00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:21,440 Speaker 4: is absolutely no way in hell you're gonna be able 520 00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 4: to do it in the NFL. 521 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:24,280 Speaker 3: You get away with a. 522 00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:26,280 Speaker 4: Lot of things that you wouldn't be able to get 523 00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:29,320 Speaker 4: away with in the college ranks. And I have to 524 00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:32,360 Speaker 4: believe and assume that that's the same for for basketball 525 00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:35,840 Speaker 4: as well. I wouldn't just for the sake of doing it. 526 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:38,880 Speaker 4: I got my son on this team. I wouldn't do 527 00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,600 Speaker 4: it because of kind of what you're alluding to. What 528 00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:45,600 Speaker 4: you're saying is that this is a scenario where he 529 00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:48,960 Speaker 4: could get like brutalized. Like I don't I don't know. 530 00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,160 Speaker 4: I don't know how bad it gets it. I don't 531 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:52,959 Speaker 4: know bad it gets an NBA. But I know if 532 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:54,920 Speaker 4: man Man was out there and he couldn't do it 533 00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:58,120 Speaker 4: in college and we got him in as a freshman. 534 00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:00,880 Speaker 3: They gonna they gonna, I mean, they might have to 535 00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:02,000 Speaker 3: cart him up out of there. 536 00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:04,440 Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm trying to tell you, Mane, you don't understand 537 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,440 Speaker 5: what these guys.

Because there's no player ever 541 00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:23,680 Speaker 5: in college history that would enter themselves into the NBA draft. 542 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,400 Speaker 5: Averaging full points in college basketball doesn't make sense. 543 00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:29,160 Speaker 4: All right, let me ask you this.

Like if y'all knew basketball, if 555 00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:05,080 Speaker 4: y'all followed basketball closely, y'all would know that Brownie is 556 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:08,320 Speaker 4: already playing against a lot of these guys on the circuits, 557 00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:12,440 Speaker 4: like he has the opportunity, based upon his exposure being 558 00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:16,440 Speaker 4: with his dad, to play against this talent. So he's 559 00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:20,480 Speaker 4: already acclimated to playing against this type of talent. 560 00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:23,360 Speaker 3: It's just now being in the Lakers. 561 00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:26,720 Speaker 4: Uniform in the NBA's I'm certain that that's going to 562 00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:29,560 Speaker 4: be the rebuttal or what somebody that says people like 563 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,440 Speaker 4: us don't deserve to talk basketball or anything like that 564 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:34,400 Speaker 4: because we don't know anything. That's fine, you call it 565 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:36,959 Speaker 4: what you want to call it. But a basketball purist 566 00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:39,040 Speaker 4: might put that out there.

But the fact that either the NFL 672 00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:54,640 Speaker 5: came out and said they thought they had the rights 673 00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:59,520 Speaker 5: to sell the direct TV Sunday ticket to anybody that 674 00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:02,359 Speaker 5: they grew want to because they owned it. They did 675 00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:05,840 Speaker 5: not own it, they were under contract, but they thought 676 00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:08,680 Speaker 5: that they had the rights to sell it because of 677 00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:12,839 Speaker 5: course it's the shield and anything in the NFL that 678 00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:16,279 Speaker 5: they put on TV or they promote, they think that 679 00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:20,520 Speaker 5: is theirs. So four hundred and forty million dollars for 680 00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:23,799 Speaker 5: each team, man that's a whole lot of cheese that 681 00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:26,160 Speaker 5: these owners are going to have to cough up to, 682 00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:28,879 Speaker 5: you know, to pay this lawsuit. You think it will 683 00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:30,920 Speaker 5: eventually happen. Huh, they ain't gonna get out of it. 684 00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:33,920 Speaker 5: I think it's not going to happen if one jury 685 00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:37,760 Speaker 5: comes out and says, listen, they're siding with Sunday Ticket 686 00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:42,240 Speaker 5: and you know this, this is what you guys. Oh, 687 00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:45,040 Speaker 5: they can tie it up into appeals or whatever the 688 00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:47,839 Speaker 5: case may be, as long as they want. But I 689 00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:50,919 Speaker 5: don't think this lawsuit is going anywhere anytime soon. 690 00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:51,560 Speaker 3: All right. 691 00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:54,200 Speaker 4: So you mentioned Roger Goodell in this, and I hadn't 692 00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:57,680 Speaker 4: thought of it that way. It didn't come up what 693 00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:01,840 Speaker 4: we discussed it during the week. What impact does this? 694 00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:04,560 Speaker 4: I mean, is that a decision that Roger Goodell would 695 00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:06,120 Speaker 4: be directly connected to? 696 00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:09,080 Speaker 3: And if so, that's like you said. 697 00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:10,920 Speaker 4: You're if they have to end up paying this and 698 00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:14,839 Speaker 4: they don't win it appeals, this is something where I mean, 699 00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:20,480 Speaker 4: that's a debilitating type of judgment against these teams, against 700 00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:24,080 Speaker 4: the league. What does that mean for the job stability? 701 00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:27,160 Speaker 4: In your opinion for Roger Goodell? 702 00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:31,120 Speaker 5: I mean, if you're an NFL you don't like the 703 00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:34,279 Speaker 5: fact that you're gonna have to call up almost half 704 00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:37,560 Speaker 5: a billion dollars for his lawsuit. And he probably just 705 00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:41,680 Speaker 5: went out on his own because he's he's just you know, 706 00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:44,680 Speaker 5: he's gonna take every dollar that comes to him. 707 00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:47,439 Speaker 3: And that's what that's what that's what he's doing. 708 00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:52,880 Speaker 5: And now we're playing NFL games on Friday nights. He 709 00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:54,759 Speaker 5: got one hundred and fifty million dollars for that. The 710 00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:56,960 Speaker 5: NFL got one hundred and fifty million dollars. We're playing 711 00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:00,200 Speaker 5: again a game on Netflix or whatever the case on 712 00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:02,960 Speaker 5: a Friday night. So he's going to he is going to, 713 00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:08,319 Speaker 5: you know, navigate every option that he possibly can to 714 00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:11,919 Speaker 5: further pad pad his pockets because what is he making 715 00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:15,160 Speaker 5: fifty He writes his own self a check every year 716 00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:18,520 Speaker 5: for fifty million dollars. That is what he earns as 717 00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:22,200 Speaker 5: being the owner of the of the NFL. But if 718 00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:25,400 Speaker 5: you're an owner, now you're like, all right, man, enough 719 00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:29,200 Speaker 5: is enough. You know, we have been you know, by 720 00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:32,360 Speaker 5: your side and been with you for the last fifteen, 721 00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:34,279 Speaker 5: twenty years or whatever the case are going to be. 722 00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:36,160 Speaker 5: But for you to go out there and make this 723 00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:41,279 Speaker 5: move and now we're responsible for like your arrogance with 724 00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:45,520 Speaker 5: the shield and thinking thinking that you put us in 725 00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:48,600 Speaker 5: a bad situation. I mean, they could be you know, 726 00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:51,279 Speaker 5: you never know the demids of Roger Goodell. But he's 727 00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:54,880 Speaker 5: going to continue to shot the game that they're playing 728 00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:58,839 Speaker 5: in Brazil and playing on Netflix. They sold it to 729 00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:03,359 Speaker 5: Amazon Prime and and all of those things. So he's 730 00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:05,680 Speaker 5: gonna find he's going to continue to shop this game 731 00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:09,960 Speaker 5: and at every measure. But the owners right now, they 732 00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,000 Speaker 5: are the ones that have to pay this fine, not him. 733 00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:14,960 Speaker 4: He's gonna have to figure out how to come up 734 00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,239 Speaker 4: with the difference of that and what it is that 735 00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:17,880 Speaker 4: he creates. 736 00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:18,880 Speaker 3: Because that's that's. 737 00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:22,799 Speaker 4: A who that's a that's a that's a big nut 738 00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:25,360 Speaker 4: to crack right there. But all that's a that's a 739 00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:27,520 Speaker 4: whole lot of that's a whole lot of money going 740 00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:28,120 Speaker 4: going out. 741 00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:33,400 Speaker 3: That's that's that's double the salary cap. Dog that's that's 742 00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:34,239 Speaker 3: that's a law. 743 00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:37,279 Speaker 5: So now you're talking about teams paying a salary cap 744 00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:39,960 Speaker 5: playing that players for one year, and now you're talking 745 00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:42,880 Speaker 5: about shelling out another four hundred and forty nine men. 746 00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:45,719 Speaker 3: That's almost a billion dollars in one year. 747 00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:49,320 Speaker 4: In one year, all right, Well, you heard Plexico Burns 748 00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:52,600 Speaker 4: giving that that knowledge and that wisdom.
