Speaker 4: I will say there are I will there's like ten

40
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 4: players that I'm always like, your hair is always laid,

41
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 4: it always looks good, not a hair out of place.

42
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 2: They switch up the colors, they just switch up the styles.

43
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 2: I mean, that's I just love being a girl.

44
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 4: That's like one of the things that I love being

45
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 4: a I just love being a girl like that's That's

46
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 4: one of the fun things in our league is we

47
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 4: always talk about a personal style, looks, makeup, outfits, like everything,

48
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 4: Like just so many things that you've seen in women's

49
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 4: sports that you just don't see as much of men's sports.

50
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 4: I feel like the men's athletes are getting a little

51
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 4: bit more in there. This is who I am back

52
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,799
Speaker 4: Like I just saw I think it was Jalen Williams

53
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 4: from Okay. See he's like out shopping in Tokyo or

54
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 4: wherever he is, and he has like a big jump

55
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 4: with this big jumbo and everyone was like, yeah, shame, shame.

56
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 2: And I was like people thought it was oh my god.

57
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 2: People get mad at everything. But like it's a bag.

58
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 3: I thought he was eating.

59
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 4: It's a bag, Like I don't know, I don't know

60
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 4: if y'all ever seen those bags, Like they're pretty big

61
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 4: and they can hold a lot of stuff. Chanel is

62
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 4: not just for the girls, like it's a brand.

63
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,359
Speaker 3: Also people need to carry their stuff.

64
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 1: I'd be telling my boyfriend, I'm like, quip, putting your

65
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: wallet and all your stuff in your pocket.

66
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 4: You need a little bag, like you need a bag,

67
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 4: Like there's yes, maybe not a jumbo flaph know, okay,

68
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 4: but that's the swag.

69
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 3: Maybe like a backpack, but a.

70
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 4: Backpack, but also a backpack is not for all situations.

71
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 4: Like when I graduated college, I stopped. I think I

72
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 4: stopped carrying around a backpack. Like my second year in the.

73
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 2: League, I think I was like, I don't really want

74
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 2: to carry this around anymore.

75
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 4: So now I just carry like big toe bags, like

76
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 4: I'll throw my basketball shoes in there and everything, Like

77
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 4: I don't know back, I try to get like a

78
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:30,519
Speaker 4: cute backpack, but I was like, I just feel like

79
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 4: a little kid with a backpack sometimes or a boy, right,

80
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 4: I get it, So I just get huge bags.

81
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 2: Okay. Anyway, guys, this is a basketball show. Sorry, but yes,

82
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 2: back to the basketball.

83
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 4: There's a lot to get into this week. I want

84
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 4: to start with MVP.

85
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 2: I really do. And I think.

86
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 4: We're gonna like pound this into the ground because I

87
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 4: think for the most part, all postseason awards, maybe outside

88
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,839
Speaker 4: of Defensive Player of the Year are pretty much locked up.

89
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 4: I think as far as most Improved sixth Player of

90
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 4: the Year. But MVP is getting real spicy. It's getting

91
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 4: real spicy. Last time we were on the show, we

92
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 4: were begging a fee to come back, and that's exactly

93
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 4: what she did last night, dropping thirty two to nine

94
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 4: in her return. She heard us, she heard us, she

95
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 4: heard everybody saying Fee, come get your MVP. Come, come

96
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 4: come back, come back. They're catching you. Unfortunately, I think

97
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 4: she's been caught in past despite her thirty two point outing.

98
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 4: And here's why, guys, please bear with me. Okay, the

99
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 4: whole season we have been this has been like a

100
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 4: very pro Minnesota lynks Pod.

101
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 2: This has been a.

102
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 4: Very pro fee for MVP POD. But the numbers do

103
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 4: not lie, guys. Okay, so currently I don't know what

104
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,479
Speaker 4: the odds are for the MVP stuff. If he's still

105
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 4: in first, we'll start with her. She's averaging twenty three points,

106
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 4: eight rebounds, three assists. Asia is averaging twenty three points,

107
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 4: ten rebounds, three assists.

108
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:02,479
Speaker 2: And the third.

109
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,919
Speaker 4: Person that I think is MVP race is Alyssa Thomas

110
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 4: who's averaging sixteen points, nine rebounds and nine sis.

111
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 2: Okay, so.

112
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 4: What are the what are what are they? We have

113
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 4: the Links in first place, who's in second? The dream

114
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaker 4: are in second, the Aces are now in third, ten

115
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:27,039
Speaker 4: straight wins, and Phoenix isn't fourth. So now we have

116
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 4: a bit of a dilemma here my new argument, guys,

117
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,159
Speaker 4: I'm jumping the fee ship.

118
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I'm on the Asia for MVP van wagon.

119
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 2: Now I'm here, guys.

120
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 3: Okay, that's what That's what I thought, and.

121
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 4: I thought that's how it's gonna jump to the at.

122
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 4: But the numbers do not lie. Asia right now has

123
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 4: the highest total points and total rebounds with seven hundred

124
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 4: and eighty nine points and three hundred and forty six

125
00:05:55,920 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 4: rebounds in second place. No, not in second. I'm not

126
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 4: sure what place they're in. But Fee only has six

127
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 4: hundred and forty four total points. Not only that's a

128
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 4: lot of friggin points, but in comparison to Asia, almost

129
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 4: one hundred and fifty less. And then AT has two

130
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 4: hundred and seventy three total rebounds, which is bound.

131
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 2: Seventy eighty less than Asia.

132
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 4: So we're talking about importance to the squad overall performance numbers.

133
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 4: I feel like this is kind of it is becoming

134
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 4: an easier choice.

135
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 3: But Asia Wilson, Asia Wilson. Look, here's the thing.

136
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:41,039
Speaker 1: They're on a ten game winning streak, which is their

137
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:46,919
Speaker 1: longest since twenty twenty one. She is carrying this team

138
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: with multiple thirty point games at.

139
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 3: Like multiple double doubles.

140
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 1: Hold on, I have it here, nineteenth double double now

141
00:06:55,920 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 1: with ten career thirty point games and multiple seasons. I

142
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 1: it's look, we argued last week, when you're voting, are

143
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: you voting based on best player on best team that

144
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 1: is prime to win a championship? The leaks were first

145
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: or thirty wins whatever, first to clinch of playoff spot.

146
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 3: Are you going with that route? Okay?

147
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: Fee is leading that charge whatever, or are you going

148
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: with the route the best player whose team would be

149
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 1: down the worst without them, if that makes sense. But

150
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 1: Asia's kind of both now, so like they're in third,

151
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: they're winning, and she's the best player on this team,

152
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 1: So you can't really deny her any.

153
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:42,119
Speaker 2: More, No, you can't.

154
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 4: I think that she felt that energy from the media

155
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 4: that you know, Fee was running away with the MVP,

156
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 4: which you know in the.

157
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 2: First half of the season pre All Star, that.

158
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 4: Was definitely an argument, and the numbers backed it up

159
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 4: and the record backed it up. But that's why it's

160
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 4: a long season. That's why it's an end of season award.

161
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 4: You don't give people their awards halfway through the season

162
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 4: because things change, personnel changes, teams go through their ups

163
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 4: and downs at different times of the year. I know,

164
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 4: I always say that, you know, you set a standard

165
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 4: for yourself getting these awards and you must like match

166
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 4: it or surpass it. But like what Asia did in

167
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 4: that unanimous twenty twenty four season was just absolutely ridiculous,

168
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 4: like once in a lifetime type performance you see from

169
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 4: a player on any.

170
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 2: Level, either gender. Like whatever, what she did in.

171
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 4: Twenty twenty four was absolutely insane, So it is a

172
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 4: little bit unfair to use that as her baseline because

173
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 4: you know, that was just a really special season. She

174
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 4: was a unanimous twenty twenty four MVP. So this season

175
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 4: is kind of reminding me of the twenty twenty three

176
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 4: MVP voting that was like very dramatic and weird. And

177
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 4: that was when we had the infamous fourth place vote

178
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 4: for Asia, Yes, twenty three At. It was eight between At,

179
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 4: Stewie and Asia, so those were the three players that

180
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 4: were in like legitimate contention. At led the first place

181
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 4: votes with twenty three. She had the most first place votes,

182
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 4: but she also had the most third place votes.

183
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 2: She ended up losing to Stewie by seven points. That

184
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 2: was it.

185
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 4: Okay, the last time the person who led in first

186
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 4: place vote lost the MVP was in two thousand and five,

187
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 4: and that's when Cheryl Swoops won MVP over Lauren Jackson.

188
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 4: So Lauren Jackson had more first place votes but didn't

189
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:39,679
Speaker 4: win MVP.

190
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 2: So that's only happened two times in WBA history.

191
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 4: I was looking at the charts, you know, they like

192
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 4: show the voting chart of where the votes are distributed.

193
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 2: You get a vote for like first place through fifth place.

194
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 2: I think that's ridiculous, Like, yeah, that's unnecessary.

195
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 4: There shouldn't be five five votes. I always I'm going

196
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 4: to say this every time you shorten the list. As

197
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 4: the season goes on, you know, there's like people on

198
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 4: the list that had like one one fifth place vote

199
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 4: or a third place vote in like three fifth place votes,

200
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 4: Like you're not you don't have a chance to win.

201
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 4: Like I said, it's probably really nice to feel like

202
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 4: you're in these conversations with these amazing players in this league.

203
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 4: So I get that, but like, let that come out

204
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 4: like All Star break, like once a month, like let's

205
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:31,439
Speaker 4: let's let's release like voting of where you think everybody

206
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 4: is or like the ladder. Yeah, and then by the

207
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 4: time we're getting like the last like twelve fifth I

208
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 4: want to say fifteen because our season sociort I would

209
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 4: say like maybe eight to ten games you shorten that

210
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 4: list down to like three or four, depending on how

211
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 4: close everybody is, because in that twenty twenty three year,

212
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,559
Speaker 4: it was at fee Stewie.

213
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 2: And then everybody up here and then everybody else was.

214
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,199
Speaker 4: Like down here, So it was like a waste of voting,

215
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 4: and like those votes could have went to those three

216
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 4: players who are really in contention. And when you lose

217
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 4: by seven points and you lead in all first place votes,

218
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 4: that's like you want to like punch everybody that voted,

219
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 4: because why you wasting your.

220
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 2: Votes on these players? Like it doesn't It just doesn't.

221
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 4: Make sense to me why there's that many choices for

222
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 4: MVP when like clearly, like right now there's three or four.

223
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 2: Players that are in legitimate contention to an MVP.

224
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 4: But again, I can't say the voters get it right

225
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 4: because I see a case for each player. So I'm

226
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 4: like really excited to see how the voting shakes out.

227
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 1: Like I don't know, I want to ask about the

228
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 1: third player in this conversation because we kind of gave

229
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 1: We talked a lot about feet throughout the season, we

230
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,719
Speaker 1: gave our reasons why Asia's kind of surpassity and the.

231
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 3: MVP conversation in our heads.

232
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 1: But at she got our sixth triple double of the season,

233
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:47,599
Speaker 1: tied her own record. She now has twenty.

234
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 3: Career triple doubles.

235
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,839
Speaker 1: The next closest person, as Lexi has highlighted, has full

236
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 1: work top fifteen, scoring first and assists second. In rebounds,

237
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: I believe my question is, now that she's been in

238
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:05,719
Speaker 1: this conversation multiple times, what does she need to do

239
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: to be able to overtake these two and be able

240
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 1: to win this award? Is that possible?

241
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 3: What's missing?

242
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,839
Speaker 4: She's she doesn't score enough, So I mean, I think

243
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 4: that's the biggest, most glaring thing. Like she scores sixteen

244
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 4: points a game, Like that's great. Along with her nine points,

245
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 4: I mean nine assists and nine rebounds, She's gonna have

246
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 4: to average a triple double. And for like, it seems

247
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 4: like such an unfair thing to ask of a player, Like,

248
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 4: for you have these two players who are playing out

249
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 4: of their minds averaging twenty four or three points per game,

250
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 4: ten rebounds, eight rebounds, but you're like, you know what,

251
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:40,839
Speaker 4: at you got to average.

252
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 2: A triple double and then maybe you will have a chance.

253
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 4: Like I just feel like that's so crazy, But like

254
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 4: that's just how good of a player she is. And

255
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 4: we're always talking about the constant moving of the goalposts,

256
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 4: and that applies to everybody. It doesn't just apply to

257
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 4: your fath or this person's fave. Like I feel like

258
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 4: everybody feels like goal posts have been moved not in

259
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 4: their favor at some point in the career, and I

260
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 4: feel like At is definitely like the poster.

261
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 2: Child of that.

262
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 4: I think she absolutely should have won that twenty twenty

263
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 4: three MVP.

264
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 2: I think she deserved it.

265
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 4: She was first in rebounding and assists that year, and

266
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:18,319
Speaker 4: Stewie was actually second in scoring as far as total points.

267
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,239
Speaker 2: So not saying stuwe didn't.

268
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 4: Deserve that MVP because she absolutely had such a great

269
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:29,680
Speaker 4: season that year, but that was like prime time for

270
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 4: At to win. I think a lot of I mean,

271
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 4: they agreed, she got the most first place votes. I

272
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 4: think a lot of people thought she should have won

273
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 4: the MVP. So do I think that they try to

274
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 4: right their wrong this year. I think they might try to,

275
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,439
Speaker 4: but I don't know. I think Asia and Fiev just

276
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 4: put together such amazing seasons it's going to be hard

277
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 4: for them to do that.

278
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 2: But again, we always relay Asia to Jokic, like our

279
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:53,680
Speaker 2: voters get.

280
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:57,439
Speaker 4: Voter fatigue, and like, again that's another moving up the goalpost,

281
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,439
Speaker 4: Like you're gonna be mad at someone for being extremely

282
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 4: great at what they do and be like, you know what,

283
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 4: we're tired of giving them the awards. We're gonna give

284
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 4: it to somebody else. I think that's dumb as well.

285
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,719
Speaker 4: If Asia wins MVP this year, she will be the

286
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 4: first player in WBA history to be a four time

287
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 4: WNBA MVP, which is absolutely insane considering the amount of

288
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 4: talented women that have come through.

289
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 2: This league and how young she is.

290
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 4: And how young she is, would you like to guess

291
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 4: who the other three time winners could be?

292
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 3: Guess? Oh my gosh, you always got me on.

293
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 2: On trivia fun facts with Lexi.

294
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 3: Okay, let me think.

295
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 2: You can just if you can get one of them,

296
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 2: I'll be impressed. My more Nope, Cheril swoops ding ding ding. Okay,

297
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 2: you want to do another Cheril Miller? Nope, I don't know.

298
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 3: I don't want to be wrong.

299
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 2: All right? One more guests? One more guests DT Nope,

300
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 2: sheer only one wants if you could believe that what?

301
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 2: I didn't know that superd Nope. The other two are

302
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 2: Lisa Leslie and Lauren Jackson.

303
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 1: Damn a lot of I guess Lisa Leslie, that's.

304
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 2: So stupid to me. It was a long time ago.

305
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 4: No shade, Lisa, I'm not trying to age you, but

306
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 4: that was a long time ago, and I feel like

307
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 4: a lot of people even forget how good Lauren Jackson was.

308
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 4: She played for the story. She played with super She's

309
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 4: Australian legend. She was insane, she was so good. But yes,

310
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 4: Age will be the first four time MVP, which I

311
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 4: think will be amazing.

312
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 2: And this I don't think this will be her last

313
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 2: MVP either.

314
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 4: Like we said, she is just tapping into her prime years,

315
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 4: which is scary.

316
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 2: But this is going to be a very fun MVP race.

317
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 4: I hope that some more media members come out publicly

318
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 4: and say who they voted for and why. I think

319
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 4: that that would be good for the game. I think

320
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 4: that it would be fun to see different things that

321
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 4: people value. I don't know why it has to be

322
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 4: such a big secret, So yeah, I'm excited for that.

323
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 4: It's not like that and the men no like say

324
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 4: what you'llest. There are some media members I don't like.

325
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 4: Here's my ballot here, so I vote it, and I

326
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 4: respect those people. I don't respect the ones that throw

327
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 4: a rock and hide a hand, Like if you want

328
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 4: to vote for this person, it's okay, just tell me why.

329
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 4: Only because I want to know. I'm nosy, not because

330
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 4: I want to argue with you.

331
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 2: I just want to.

332
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 3: Know that's you though, that's not everybody else.

333
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 4: Right, People do love arguing down, So good luck to

334
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 4: the voters. This is not going to be easy. No

335
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 4: one's going to be not everyone's going to be happy, obviously,

336
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 4: but I think that it's going to be close. I

337
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 4: wonder if there's going to be a chance of it

338
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 4: being tied. That would be crazy.

339
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 3: And is that possible.

340
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: Do they have enough, Like do they distribute the votes

341
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 1: in a way where that's even possible.

342
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 4: I don't know, but if that happens, I would be

343
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 4: a cop out and I would hate that. So I

344
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 4: hope that they don't do that or be like, you

345
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 4: know what, all three of you get it, everybody gets it.

346
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 2: Everybody would I don't.

347
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 3: Think they'll do that.

348
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: They would have to vote again or something like they

349
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 1: have to give it to one but.

350
00:16:57,720 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 2: They have to give it to one person. So yeah,

351
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 2: shout out to the voters.

352
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 4: I'm glad I'm not one of y'all. Let's talk about

353
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 4: this recent conversation about the back to back games. I

354
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 4: know I've actually seen quite a few videos on TikTok

355
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:32,439
Speaker 4: responding to the comments made by Satu Sabili about the

356
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 4: back to backs including Patrick Beverly. Pat Bev chimed in,

357
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:39,639
Speaker 4: which I was like, oh, okay, we got to talk

358
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 4: about this on our show. If Pat Bev got something

359
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,120
Speaker 4: to say, we definitely need to have something to say

360
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 4: about it. So I do want to hear from you,

361
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 4: Mariah as like, because a lot of the comments not

362
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 4: calling you.

363
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,159
Speaker 2: Like a normal or regular person by any means.

364
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 4: But I did see a lot of comments like, well,

365
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 4: we work eight to nine hours a day and have

366
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 4: to get up every day and work eight and to

367
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 4: nine hours a day as well, which I think that's

368
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 4: a very valid point of view, but it's it's not

369
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:08,640
Speaker 4: the same as like playing. I don't think saw too

370
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 4: meant I don't want to work hard. I don't want

371
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 4: to work I think she genuinely is like, my body

372
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 4: is what makes me money and it's getting run into

373
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 4: the ground. Can we please do something about that? So

374
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 4: how do you feel about the statements made by satu?

375
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 3: Here's my thing. Number one.

376
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 1: I don't ever want to hear what an NBA player

377
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 1: has to say about a WNBA player complaining about the schedule.

378
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,160
Speaker 1: That should be self explanatory to anybody who watches sports.

379
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 3: Okay, half of y'all don't play.

380
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 1: In back to backs because you don't feel like it.

381
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,399
Speaker 1: And do you know how much we cost to go

382
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 1: to an NBA game? And these people are sitting there

383
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 1: and the biggest star on the team is on the

384
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:49,360
Speaker 1: bench in history close and he.

385
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:49,920
Speaker 3: Not even hurt.

386
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 1: So I'm not even trying to hear that number two.

387
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:56,239
Speaker 1: I don't think it's fair for I guess this might

388
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 1: get me in trouble, but regular people. I feel like

389
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 1: this comes up a lot with like regular people and athletes,

390
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 1: where people are like, well, we show up to work

391
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 1: every day and blah blah blah, but you did. They're

392
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:12,159
Speaker 1: different things, Like I don't like the what aboutism of

393
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 1: social media where everybody applies their situation to every single situation.

394
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 1: It's just different people are different. People have different situations.

395
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 1: At the end of the day. Athletes work really really hard,

396
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 1: But I don't like the what aboutism of social media

397
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:25,919
Speaker 1: where people are like, oh, we do this, so you

398
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 1: should have to do that. A lot of y'all sit

399
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 1: at desks every single day, and some people do harder things.

400
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 1: But like, you're not a professional athlete. You don't go

401
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:38,359
Speaker 1: to work and you're like running, jumping, shooting, exercising every

402
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 1: single day. If she has an issue with her schedule

403
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 1: or if she doesn't want to do this, or if

404
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:43,880
Speaker 1: she doesn't want to do that, I feel like that's

405
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:45,920
Speaker 1: her prerogative to complain about. But at the end of

406
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 1: the day, this might sound bad for me. But when

407
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,439
Speaker 1: I hear quotes like that, I take it with a

408
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 1: grain of salt, because at the end of the day,

409
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 1: this is y'all's job.

410
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:58,159
Speaker 3: It's not like she's like she's saying, like, oh, you

411
00:19:58,200 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying.

412
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:00,239
Speaker 1: Like, at the end of the day, if she has

413
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,120
Speaker 1: to play back to back and you'll have to play

414
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:03,880
Speaker 1: back to back or we have to play back, it's

415
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 1: gonna happen anyways, you know, right, So I don't really care.

416
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 4: I mean, and that's exactly what she said. She was like,

417
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 4: I'm gonna show up and do my job every day.

418
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,680
Speaker 4: But this is how my body's feeling, this is how

419
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 4: my mind is feeling about it.

420
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:17,360
Speaker 2: Like, let's do something about it.

421
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:21,879
Speaker 4: I think, Yes, it is a league wide problem of

422
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,919
Speaker 4: the condensed scheduling. We've maxed out at games per season

423
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 4: at forty four, Like we literally cannot play more than

424
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 4: forty four regular season games based on the CPA, so

425
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:32,919
Speaker 4: we've capped out on that.

426
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 2: I'm looking at the coach like, this is a coaching thing.

427
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:38,679
Speaker 4: If you see that your players are tired and exhausted,

428
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 4: then play them last minutes like simple fix.

429
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:44,400
Speaker 2: You have a team.

430
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:48,119
Speaker 4: Full of professional basketball players sitting right there at your disposal,

431
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,440
Speaker 4: most of which are very well rested because.

432
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 2: You don't play them.

433
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 4: So I see both sides of this because I've never

434
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 4: played more than thirty minutes per game in my entire career,

435
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 4: and that's only happened one time. The other times where

436
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 4: I've played, I've laid between eighteen and twenty five minutes

437
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 4: per game in three or four seasons, and then two

438
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,200
Speaker 4: seasons like I haven't played three seasons, I barely play,

439
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 4: So I don't have the same perspective in point of

440
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,879
Speaker 4: view of these players that I've logged thirty plus minutes

441
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 4: almost every year of their careers. So I, personally, I

442
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 4: don't really have anything to say about that because it's

443
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 4: something that I personally haven't experienced.

444
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 2: But I know how I feel.

445
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,640
Speaker 4: And how my body feels after a flight after a

446
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 4: hard game of me just sitting there watching going through

447
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:39,159
Speaker 4: pregame warm ups doing my lifts during the day, like

448
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,920
Speaker 4: I know how my body feels, so yes, I put

449
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:45,119
Speaker 4: myself in their shoes constantly because I'm like, I know

450
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 4: that they're run down, but there's benches on every team

451
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:54,879
Speaker 4: full of players that never get any playing time, So yes,

452
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 4: the back to backs are annoying. I did look up

453
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,120
Speaker 4: about the back to backs in the past. There's been

454
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 4: back to backs, like since the beginning of the league.

455
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:06,679
Speaker 4: Like I looked it up. There's not an exact number,

456
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:09,919
Speaker 4: which I even asked chat GBT, I need us to

457
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 4: like tighten up on that because I found the exact

458
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 4: number of back to backs of the NBA seasons, but

459
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,960
Speaker 4: for the WNBA there's not an exact number, so we

460
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 4: need to tighten up on that. I didn't have enough

461
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,200
Speaker 4: time to go look at every schedule and see where

462
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 4: the back to backs were, but the number I did

463
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 4: find was that in twenty ten, the Minnesota Links had

464
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:30,440
Speaker 4: four back.

465
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:31,159
Speaker 2: To back sets.

466
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:35,399
Speaker 4: Perspective, last year in the NBA, every team had between

467
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,359
Speaker 4: thirteen and sixteen back to backs on top of playing

468
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 4: eighty two games. So apples and oranges, yes, but I

469
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 4: just want to put that into perspective.

470
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 2: Why Pat BEV decided to weigh in.

471
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,239
Speaker 4: He's been part of a league where you have a

472
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 4: ton of back to backs, So I get why he

473
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,879
Speaker 4: needed to put his two sentence because he did say

474
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 4: he's a big advocate for the w he wants us

475
00:22:58,040 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 4: to get everything we deserve.

476
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 2: He did preface his statements with that.

477
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:06,639
Speaker 4: But again, I'm like you, sir, zip it, I do

478
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 4: have one more thing they.

479
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:13,159
Speaker 1: Say from his comments and Sattoo's comments and what I

480
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,120
Speaker 1: just heard from you, I've said this before and I'll

481
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 1: say it again.

482
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 3: I also don't like the NBA schedule.

483
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 2: No, I think it's either. I think them playing that

484
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,120
Speaker 2: many back in the backs is crazy. It's way too

485
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 2: many games. It's insane.

486
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:30,640
Speaker 1: And as a fan in somebody who covers the league like,

487
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 1: I'm just keep it up a stack with y'all. I'm

488
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 1: not trying to watch all them games.

489
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 2: There's so many and not at eleven PM.

490
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 3: I don't get me started on that.

491
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:42,640
Speaker 1: That's the whole other side thing. I'm so mad about that.

492
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,199
Speaker 1: Ain't nobody doing that. I'm sorry, I got plates at

493
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 1: seven thirty.

494
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 2: No, I got time for that.

495
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 3: I have to watch now. I'm going to watch the

496
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 3: highlights on YouTube.

497
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 2: As a West Coaster.

498
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 4: I'm not mad at it, but I clutched my pearls

499
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 4: when I saw that announcement, and I said, who is

500
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 4: stayed up to eleven PM to watch a basketball game?

501
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 4: A lot of people, apparently because they did it for

502
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 4: a reason, you know, I don't know. So it's going

503
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 4: to be interesting to see what those numbers look like

504
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 4: in my research.

505
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:12,160
Speaker 2: As well as looking up.

506
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:14,920
Speaker 4: These back to backs, I stumbled across a cute little

507
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 4: article from two thousand and three.

508
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 2: Guys.

509
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:21,640
Speaker 4: An ESPN article from two thousand and three interviewing the president,

510
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 4: the WA president at the time, who her name is,

511
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:25,640
Speaker 4: val Ackerman.

512
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 2: I think that was a woman.

513
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure it was a woman, but vow you

514
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,159
Speaker 4: don't know, pretty sure that was a woman. So, you

515
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 4: know how I always am talking about the distribution of

516
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:35,880
Speaker 4: minutes and how it's crazy and how.

517
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 2: Blah blah blah blah blah.

518
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 4: In two thousand and three, they asked her about making

519
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 4: the games potentially forty eight minutes as well, because they

520
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:44,879
Speaker 4: have so much talent in the league.

521
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:47,120
Speaker 2: In two thousand and three, they were asking.

522
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 4: Her that, so she said, you know, probably not, because

523
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 4: we need to have our slots in the two hour

524
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:55,160
Speaker 4: for the media the TV. But okay, I for thinking

525
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 4: about what the TV was like in two thousand and three,

526
00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 4: it was very like you had the TV, had cable,

527
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:03,359
Speaker 4: that was it. You ain't have streaming, you ain't have

528
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 4: all these websites. You didn't have Amazon Prime, you didn't

529
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,439
Speaker 4: have Disney Plus, you didn't have all these things. Also,

530
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 4: it was funny that I saw that the WNBA used

531
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 4: to have their games on Oxygen, which I'm like, that's

532
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,440
Speaker 4: so girly and fun, like I want our games to

533
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:20,639
Speaker 4: be like put our games on Bravo or something like

534
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 4: I know what's on Ion right now, because you imagine

535
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:27,399
Speaker 4: like in between an episode of Housewives WNBA game, Like

536
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:31,120
Speaker 4: I think that would be so cute. Okay, anyway, and

537
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 4: then they also asked, I know this is like no

538
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:35,880
Speaker 4: longer about back to backs, but this was just all

539
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 4: in the article that I was reading. They asked about

540
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 4: opening up early entry because Diana Tarassi was in college

541
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:43,160
Speaker 4: two thousand and three.

542
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 2: Wow.

543
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 4: So guys, these conversations have been happening for over twenty years,

544
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 4: over twenty years, So it's nice to see that because

545
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,360
Speaker 4: you people think like all these conversations all these ideas

546
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 4: are like, oh, why not. No, you're not reinventing the wheel.

547
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 4: You know, there's people who have been watching women's basketball

548
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:08,679
Speaker 4: for a long time who have asked these questions about

549
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 4: extending the games because of the talent, or opening up

550
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:15,879
Speaker 4: of college or lowering the college age so talented players

551
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 4: can come to the league early. Been there, done that.

552
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:22,359
Speaker 2: She said, absolutely not, We're not lowering the age. I

553
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 2: don't care who you are.

554
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:26,440
Speaker 4: That was Diana Tarassi, guys, who we claimed as our

555
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 4: goat last week. So I'm just saying things change, takes time.

556
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 4: I don't think that age limit thing is going to change.

557
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:39,119
Speaker 4: I do think that that forty to forty eight minute

558
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 4: could change, but we'll see.

559
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,879
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna have to give there's gonna have

560
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:46,399
Speaker 1: to be more roster response if they're gonna do that,

561
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:50,200
Speaker 1: am I yeah? Or it's just like that also goes

562
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:51,679
Speaker 1: into the back to backs thing, though, is what I

563
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:52,160
Speaker 1: was gonna say.

564
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 4: I guys just keep saying, y'all, it's a slippery slope

565
00:26:55,440 --> 00:27:00,640
Speaker 4: of CBA things of front office things of coach things.

566
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 4: Another thing that I looked up today, I looked up

567
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:05,159
Speaker 4: a lot of stuff this morning guys, I was at

568
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 4: a low coffee shop.

569
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:08,160
Speaker 2: We're in Indianapolis. There's not much to do here.

570
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:11,200
Speaker 4: I went in, sat in the coffee shop and just

571
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 4: did my little research.

572
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:12,919
Speaker 2: This morning.

573
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 4: We're talking about minutes played per game for these players,

574
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 4: these super talented players. I looked up the minutes per

575
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 4: game played for NBA players last season, and not a

576
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 4: single player played more eighty percent or more of their

577
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:38,679
Speaker 4: forty eight minutes per game. Not one in our league

578
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:41,919
Speaker 4: right now. I think there's like around fifteen players that

579
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,879
Speaker 4: play eighty plus percent of the forty minutes.

580
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 2: So it's that's a lot of minutes.

581
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 4: And the fact that how talented the NBA is, they

582
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 4: have more time and they still are not getting to

583
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:58,399
Speaker 4: that eighty percent threshold. And we have a plethora of

584
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:00,400
Speaker 4: players that are and a lot of players that are

585
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 4: like very very close as well. You know, I think that, yes,

586
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:08,120
Speaker 4: these players deserve to be on the court. They help

587
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 4: you win, do all the things, coaches trust you. But again,

588
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 4: there's just a lot of untapped talent on these WNBA benches,

589
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 4: as y'all are seeing on the valkyries before our very eyes,

590
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:23,199
Speaker 4: a team full of players that were not getting the

591
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:26,400
Speaker 4: opportunities that they probably thought that they deserved, and now

592
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:31,399
Speaker 4: they are in playoff contention, legitimate playoff contention in their

593
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 4: first year being an expansion team.

594
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 2: So that's all I'm.

595
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 4: Going to say about that back to backs minutes, all

596
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 4: of these fun numbers that I discovered today.

597
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 1: No, those numbers at the end really put it in perspective,

598
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 1: because I mean, there's so many bodies in the NBA

599
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,959
Speaker 1: that allow them to have that flexibility to not have

600
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 1: to play their best players more than eighty percent of

601
00:28:53,880 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 1: a game. And in the WNBA, fifteen players are going

602
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 1: over that threshold.

603
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 3: That's a lot.

604
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, and again that goes with their eighty two game season.

605
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 4: When I'm on Gills, they were always talking about how

606
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,959
Speaker 4: they kind of like plan their schedules like okay, like

607
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 4: this is a game we could lose if we need to.

608
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 4: This is a game we could lose if we need to,

609
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 4: or this this player can sit this game, you know,

610
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 4: if we win this.

611
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 1: Game when the schedule is entirely too long, yeah, we

612
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 1: don't have one.

613
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 2: We don't have that luxury. We don't have that luxury

614
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 2: to do that.

615
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 4: So you're not going to really see very many players

616
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:34,239
Speaker 4: scheduling losses, scheduling games to sit out of because we

617
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 4: just don't have time for that. Nor I don't think

618
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 4: that's not like that's a whole conversation for another time.

619
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 4: But like you said, the season is way too long.

620
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 4: The players have to prioritize themselves, the organizations have to

621
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 4: prioritize their player health and safety, and that's kind of

622
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 4: been their happy medium. We're not there yet, so I'm

623
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 4: looking at coaches like your players are literally in media

624
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,959
Speaker 4: saying how tired they are, and you are like, okay,

625
00:29:56,120 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 4: play forty minutes and yes, yeah, but hey, it's been

626
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 4: like that for a long long time, a long long time.

627
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 1: Well, hopefully she is able to get some sort of

628
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 1: rest and you know, the men, keep it cute.

629
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 2: Keep it cute, please. I appreciate your opinions and support, but.

630
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 4: Not to win.

631
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 1: In some positive news, some records were broken in the

632
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 1: past week. I want to start by talking about miss Pagebeckers.

633
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 1: She wrote her name in the WNBA history books on

634
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 1: Wednesday with an incredible forty four point outing and the

635
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 1: Dallas Wings loss to the Los Angeles Sparks. It ended

636
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 1: in a buzzer beater, which is that is heartbreaking for

637
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 1: somebody who drops forty four but neither here nor there.

638
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 1: Incredible performance, and she attributed a lot of her success

639
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 1: to the long loss forgotten mid range LEXI. What were

640
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 1: your thoughts on pages outing and her quotes.

641
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 4: Well, y'all already know we love page here forty four

642
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 4: points on eighty percent shooting seventeen for twenty one, which

643
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 4: is the first time a player in the league has

644
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 4: scored forty points shooting eighty percent or better. She tied

645
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 4: Cynthia Cooper for most points for a rookie, which was

646
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 4: I think when did she do that?

647
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 2: I can't remember the year.

648
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:21,719
Speaker 4: But it was a long time ago. If y'all been

649
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 4: tabby with the w Cynthia Cooper played a long time ago.

650
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 4: She's twenty nine straight games double figure scoring, which is

651
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 4: third all time in WBA rookie history, and she's the

652
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 4: fastest to reach five hundred points and one hundred assists.

653
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 2: I liked those.

654
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 4: Records fastest two because I feel like some of these

655
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 4: greats are about to get a race, not a race

656
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 4: from the record books, but they're going to probably move

657
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 4: down a lot quicker than they probably expected to because

658
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 4: of the expansion of our season and the amount of

659
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 4: games that we have. So until twenty twenty two we

660
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 4: only played thirty four games, thirty six and twenty twenty two,

661
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 4: forty games in twenty twenty three and twenty twenty four,

662
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 4: and then this year playing forty four games, and that's

663
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 4: only going to continue to go up. So we're gonna

664
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 4: see a lot of records being broken in these next

665
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 4: few years because we have more games. So I want

666
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 4: you guys to keep that in mind when you're like,

667
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 4: how bad was the league back then? Blah blah blah.

668
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:20,960
Speaker 2: No, they just had less games, Okay, So let's keep

669
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 2: that in mind. And that's why I.

670
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 4: Really appreciate those players that do things fast, because there's

671
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 4: no you don't need all the games to do that.

672
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 4: So shout out to page. She did have a beautiful

673
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 4: quote about the mid range. I know you guys know

674
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:38,240
Speaker 4: me as a three point shooter, but when you get

675
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 4: run off the line, you have to have a mid

676
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 4: range shot or you have to be a really elite finisher.

677
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 4: And I have always thought that the mid range shot

678
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 4: is very important the game of basketball, even though in

679
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 4: recent years they tried to remove it from our game completely.

680
00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 4: Her quote said, I quote. This is right here, I

681
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 4: can quoting it. I truly think basketball has gotten away

682
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 4: from it. It's mostly layups and threes. Teams don't know

683
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 4: how to guard it. So I think it's an advantage

684
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 4: when you can score in the mid range.

685
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 2: I absolutely agree.

686
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 4: I can tell you right now the top five mid

687
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 4: range shot takers in the league one through five. We

688
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 4: start with Courtney Williams, who has taken two hundred and

689
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 4: forty six mid ranges. Page in second place with one

690
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 4: hundred and seventy one mid ranges, Tina Charles one hundred

691
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 4: and thirty, Asia Wilson one hundred and fifteen, and Arique

692
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 4: Agumbuale with one hundred and thirteen. So those are the

693
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 4: top five mid range shot takers. Those are their attempts.

694
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 4: Can you guess who has the highest percentage in.

695
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 3: That five page?

696
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 2: Ding ding ding? Was that a lucky guess?

697
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 1: No?

698
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:52,520
Speaker 3: It wasn't.

699
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 1: It just makes sense because I mean, talking with that

700
00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 1: much conviction a rookie saying teams just don't know how

701
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 1: to guard it, like obviously, like you have to be leading.

702
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:03,960
Speaker 3: In that category in order to say something like that.

703
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 1: Because my question to you is going to be, why

704
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:08,839
Speaker 1: is that is that just not basically because the game

705
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 1: has changed.

706
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 2: Oh no, I have I have the explanation for you

707
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:11,439
Speaker 2: right here.

708
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:14,359
Speaker 4: If y'all were wondering, Oh, yeah, she's shooting forty six

709
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 4: percent from mid ranges, which is extremely impressive. The thing

710
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:22,239
Speaker 4: about mid range shots is, for the most part, they

711
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:24,720
Speaker 4: take just a lot of repetition and a lot of rhythm.

712
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 4: So you can't just wake up one day and be like,

713
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 4: I'm just start throwing up middies like it's something that

714
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 4: you have to.

715
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 2: Work on a lot.

716
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:35,920
Speaker 4: And I know that because before I went to AU

717
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 4: in February, I focused a lot on my middies and

718
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 4: I was hitting them at AU, and I was like

719
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 4: really happy about it because it was something that my

720
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:46,240
Speaker 4: game had gotten away from since being in the WNBA,

721
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 4: of being a three point shooter. So I really wanted

722
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:51,399
Speaker 4: to go into AU shooting more middies, and I did,

723
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:53,719
Speaker 4: and I found a lot of success with my long

724
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 4: ball and getting to the rim when you get that

725
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 4: mid range. So Page is absolutely right, people do not

726
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 4: know how to guard it. What change the landscape of

727
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 4: basketball a little bit? You know, we talk about Steph

728
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 4: Curry and his three point shooting. I mean I would

729
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:11,480
Speaker 4: throw James Harden into that three point shooting in flux

730
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 4: as well, and that is because of something called the

731
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:19,360
Speaker 4: moriy Ball approach. Okay, So what that is is the

732
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 4: fuck let me I was about the curse because it

733
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:26,319
Speaker 4: makes me so mad. The basketball nerds use data and

734
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:32,799
Speaker 4: analytics to basically say, threes rule everything, okay, because it's

735
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:37,279
Speaker 4: the most points, obviously, because a mid range and a

736
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 4: layup are both worth the same number of points, but

737
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 4: the level of difficulty of the mid range is harder.

738
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 4: It's less important and a bad shot because you could

739
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:49,720
Speaker 4: just go get a regular layup or a dunk instead

740
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:52,160
Speaker 4: of taking a difficult mid range. And then a free

741
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 4: throw obviously is uncontested, but it's only worth one point.

742
00:35:55,960 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 4: So when Darryl Moury was in charge of the Houston Rocket,

743
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:04,799
Speaker 4: that's kind of when he started using his approach, and

744
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 4: the Rockets at the time really were one of the

745
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:08,839
Speaker 4: best offensive teams in the NBA. So people are like, oh,

746
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:10,719
Speaker 4: it works, you know, let's get rid of the mid range.

747
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:13,239
Speaker 4: Just three lips, threes lips. But you have to have

748
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:16,400
Speaker 4: an offense that caters to that. You have to have

749
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:19,640
Speaker 4: personnel that is buying into that who has a skill

750
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:22,920
Speaker 4: set for that, and that's not always the case. Carmelo

751
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:24,840
Speaker 4: Anthony talks about it all the time because he was

752
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 4: on that Rockets team during this No Midi's era, And

753
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 4: if y'all follow basketball, Carmelo Anthony is one of the

754
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 4: best mid range shooters scores that we've ever seen in

755
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:38,320
Speaker 4: the history of basketball. So this is a Hall of Famer.

756
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 4: And it didn't work for him, because that's important. It

757
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 4: wasn't his style of play, and he is very vocal

758
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 4: about how much he hated playing that way. And it's

759
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:50,839
Speaker 4: not for everybody. So you just have to make sure

760
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 4: you have the right players in place, you have the

761
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:54,839
Speaker 4: right offense in place. We just played Dallas a few

762
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 4: days ago. Like I said earlier, they were not at

763
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:00,960
Speaker 4: their full strength. They were coming off of that hard

764
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 4: game in La or Page at forty four.

765
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 2: They looked really tired, They looked exhausted.

766
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 4: But just looking at their offense and the actions that

767
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 4: they run for Page and if Arique was healthy, even

768
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:13,759
Speaker 4: some of the actions they run for Maddie Secrets like

769
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 4: you can tell that they do value mid range shooting

770
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 4: and getting them open and getting them in space and

771
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:22,280
Speaker 4: actions for them to create for themselves. Page is really

772
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 4: good at her mid post game. Like I was not

773
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:28,239
Speaker 4: hit to that midpost game at she had. She didn't

774
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 4: really have to use it that much in college at

775
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:33,440
Speaker 4: Yukon because she was just so much better than everybody already.

776
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:37,200
Speaker 4: I had no idea that she posted up that much,

777
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 4: and she was so efficient from the mid post and

778
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,440
Speaker 4: the post. So yeah, so there's a reason why she's

779
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 4: confident what she's saying, and I completely agree with her.

780
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 4: But it is something that you have to practice, and

781
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 4: I do think Courtney Williams is and has been one

782
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 4: of the best mid range pull up jump shooters for

783
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:54,800
Speaker 4: like the last.

784
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:55,560
Speaker 2: Since she got drafted.

785
00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 4: Really, I was on her team when I was a rookie,

786
00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:00,799
Speaker 4: and I was amazed by her mid range shooting and

787
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:03,800
Speaker 4: the fact that she despite what everybody says about threes

788
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:06,839
Speaker 4: and layups, she has continued to shoot that little mid

789
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:09,400
Speaker 4: range her entire career and has found a lot of

790
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:11,919
Speaker 4: success in it. Shout out to Courtney, Shout out to Page,

791
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 4: Shout out to all the mid range jump shooters. The

792
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:16,799
Speaker 4: MIDI ain't dead, y'all. Okay, this is coming from a

793
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 4: three point shooter.

794
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 2: It's not dead. Practice it. You have to work on it.

795
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:21,680
Speaker 2: It's a skill.

796
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:25,920
Speaker 1: So yeah, and shout out to Courtney for making history

797
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:26,480
Speaker 1: as well.

798
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 2: Snaps for Courtney.

799
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:36,279
Speaker 4: Breaking the Minnesota Links season assist record, single season assist record, Yeah,

800
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:40,759
Speaker 4: which is crazy. As I keep telling y'all, Courtney is

801
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 4: not a point guard. She is a shooting guard turned

802
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:46,960
Speaker 4: into a point guard. So for her to break that

803
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 4: record is super impressive, especially since one of the best

804
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 4: point guards to ever play in Lindsay Whalen, was part

805
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:56,879
Speaker 4: of the Minnesota Links. So for her to break her

806
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,759
Speaker 4: record is crazy, So shout out to.

807
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:02,600
Speaker 1: I also want to add that she has the third

808
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 1: most games in WNBA history with ten points, ten assists

809
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 1: in zero turnovers.

810
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:09,719
Speaker 2: Wow, Corney, man, I'm so proud of her. I was,

811
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 2: she's like having a year.

812
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 4: She's having a year, and she's like grown up so

813
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:17,759
Speaker 4: much from when I met her in my rookie year

814
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:20,440
Speaker 4: to now, Like just to see what she's gone through

815
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:23,280
Speaker 4: in her career, the ups, the downs, the highs, the lows,

816
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:25,279
Speaker 4: and for her to come out finding her home in

817
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:27,440
Speaker 4: Minnesota of all places, because I know, like when a

818
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:29,920
Speaker 4: lot of people when she signed to Minnesota, people were like,

819
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:33,600
Speaker 4: how's this going to work because Corney has a big personality,

820
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 4: but she's fitting seamlessly and she's really like changed the

821
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:38,399
Speaker 4: culture of the Minnesota Links.

822
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 2: Like Minnesota Links.

823
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:42,440
Speaker 4: Have always been like very we get shit done, we

824
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 4: down a business, we do things like this, we do

825
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:46,960
Speaker 4: things like that. And she's kind of like loosing them

826
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 4: up a little bit. Her and Na Tisha Heideman with

827
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:53,800
Speaker 4: the stud buds Kmeack putting the little pink in her hair,

828
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 4: Djana pulling out the pink hair to be the fem

829
00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:01,279
Speaker 4: bud Like it's it's really cool to see because I

830
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:03,520
Speaker 4: was a part of that Links organization and I did

831
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 4: have a great time there, but it was very like

832
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 4: we do things.

833
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:09,319
Speaker 2: This is how we do things by the book.

834
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:12,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, So for them to be loosening up a little

835
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:14,919
Speaker 4: bit and it's look at how they're playing.

836
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:18,800
Speaker 2: Like I just it was just it's easy peasy.

837
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:20,839
Speaker 4: Let people be who they are as long as they

838
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 4: show up to work every day and do what they're

839
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:26,440
Speaker 4: supposed to do. Like all that extra stuff doesn't matter

840
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:28,600
Speaker 4: as long as you keep the main thing the main thing,

841
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:30,640
Speaker 4: And that's what the Links have done all season long.

842
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:35,480
Speaker 4: You have players in MVP contention, breaking records, shooting this

843
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:37,040
Speaker 4: shit out the ball k Mack.

844
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 2: Like, you bring in a player like Djena.

845
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:42,720
Speaker 4: You have a player who didn't even play last season

846
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:45,680
Speaker 4: in the WNBA because she was playing overseas, coming in

847
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:50,000
Speaker 4: from the bench, having the fastest WNBA triple double in history,

848
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 4: Like all on the same team. I just how did

849
00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:59,440
Speaker 4: this team get assembled? Like without any of us paying attention.

850
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 4: You were talking about super Team in Vegas, Super Team

851
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 4: in New York whole time.

852
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:08,040
Speaker 2: The super team is in Minnesota.

853
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:10,320
Speaker 1: Right, and it's not even it's just a good organization.

854
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:13,879
Speaker 1: It's like super team this, superteam that. But they they've made,

855
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:16,319
Speaker 1: like you said, kind of under the radar. Move here,

856
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:19,920
Speaker 1: move there, everybody buying in their Coach said that Cortney's

857
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 1: one of the easiest players she's ever had to coach.

858
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:25,440
Speaker 1: And you you describing or seeing her in the stud

859
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:26,960
Speaker 1: buds and being like, oh my god, she has this

860
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:30,200
Speaker 1: big personality and then coach is like, oh no, she

861
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:31,400
Speaker 1: fits in seamlessly.

862
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:34,000
Speaker 3: She's great to coach. It works very well.

863
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 1: And to be getting all that public attention from Stubbuds

864
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:39,440
Speaker 1: and everything, it's like they're really having a time.

865
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:42,399
Speaker 2: They're having a year and they're handling it very well and.

866
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:47,000
Speaker 3: Went nine to one without their MVP. You know that's insane.

867
00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:50,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, so they're They're a team that obviously everybody is

868
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:53,279
Speaker 4: going to be on the lookout for during playoffs, and

869
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 4: you know, good luck to the team that has to

870
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:58,000
Speaker 4: play them in the first round. It was US a

871
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:01,560
Speaker 4: few days ago. It no longer is US, So we're

872
00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:05,359
Speaker 4: moving on up. We're six place now, guys, so we're

873
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:07,880
Speaker 4: moving on us, right, We're moving on up. Got to

874
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:10,480
Speaker 4: twenty wins, which I haven't. I haven't won twenty games

875
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:15,879
Speaker 4: in a while. So snaps snaps for that. Snaps for that.

876
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:19,839
Speaker 4: Last record breaking thing that we want to just give

877
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:22,759
Speaker 4: a quick shout out to is the league breaking the

878
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:26,160
Speaker 4: attendance record. On August twenty first, it was reported that

879
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:31,200
Speaker 4: over two point five million people have attended WNBA games

880
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:34,160
Speaker 4: this season, which breaks the record that was created in

881
00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:35,200
Speaker 4: two thousand and two.

882
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 2: So yay.

883
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:42,319
Speaker 1: It's so crazy to me whenever I hear all of

884
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:46,279
Speaker 1: these records and then it's like, since two thousand and

885
00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:50,120
Speaker 1: I'm like, what going on to not that like what

886
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:50,480
Speaker 1: was going on?

887
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:52,600
Speaker 3: But I'm like two thousand that many people.

888
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:56,480
Speaker 4: I'm telling you, the WNBA was like I hope that

889
00:42:56,640 --> 00:43:00,080
Speaker 4: somebody somewhere has been like just documenting all of this,

890
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:04,080
Speaker 4: the ups and the downs of the league, because it

891
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:07,719
Speaker 4: was cracking in the early stages of it, Like it

892
00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:09,160
Speaker 4: was cracking early two thousands.

893
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:12,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, every record I hear is like since the early

894
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:16,080
Speaker 1: two thousands, it's like, this isn't just something that happened yesterday.

895
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:18,280
Speaker 1: It seems to be this was something that's been happening,

896
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:20,279
Speaker 1: took a little break, and it's happening again.

897
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:22,920
Speaker 4: And it's so crazy because you know, the early two thousands,

898
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:26,359
Speaker 4: it was new, it was fun. But then I would say,

899
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:32,000
Speaker 4: like the prime era of WNBA was that twenty tens era,

900
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:35,439
Speaker 4: and we don't we just don't. We don't like hear

901
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:38,160
Speaker 4: about it as much like we hear about the individual players,

902
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:41,640
Speaker 4: but we don't hear about the rivalries this player, you know,

903
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:45,000
Speaker 4: the six players at that time, like what these teams

904
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:47,040
Speaker 4: a movement? Like, we just don't hear a lot about

905
00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:49,560
Speaker 4: any of it, Which is why I love DT's documentary

906
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:51,320
Speaker 4: so much. It's because you got a kind of like

907
00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:54,919
Speaker 4: an inside look of that era of WNBA. But it's like, yeah,

908
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:56,920
Speaker 4: like you said, it's either like early two thousands or

909
00:43:57,440 --> 00:44:01,200
Speaker 4: twenty twenty one and on this whole middle part of

910
00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:05,400
Speaker 4: the WBA is like dark times, the Dark Ages, and

911
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:08,000
Speaker 4: some of the best basketball was being played at that time.

912
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:11,840
Speaker 4: So I'm hoping that somebody somewhere is doing something.

913
00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:13,520
Speaker 3: I'm sure Netflix is somewhere.

914
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:16,000
Speaker 4: Oh gosh, I hope so because I grew up watching

915
00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:18,719
Speaker 4: that and I was like, this was just it was

916
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:19,480
Speaker 4: so exciting.

917
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:20,920
Speaker 2: It was fun. But again, I also was.

918
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:24,399
Speaker 4: A kid, like even when I was like thinking about

919
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:26,520
Speaker 4: when my dad was coaching in the league.

920
00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:29,480
Speaker 2: So if anybody.

921
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:32,759
Speaker 4: Knows the Orlando area, there's this place called like the

922
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 4: RDV Complex. So it was basically like a giant YMCA,

923
00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:43,400
Speaker 4: like a super nice giant YMCA, like it had weightlifting

924
00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:45,840
Speaker 4: and had basketball courts, had ice skating rink.

925
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:47,800
Speaker 2: Like it was just like a big place.

926
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 4: And that's where the Orlando Miracle would practice at like

927
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:55,759
Speaker 4: a giant YMCA. And I thought it was like the

928
00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 4: most amazing thing ever. But like, why is a professional

929
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:01,560
Speaker 4: team practicing in a public space.

930
00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:03,560
Speaker 2: But when I was a kid.

931
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:05,160
Speaker 4: I was like, oh my god, they got this big

932
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:08,279
Speaker 4: gym to themsel like, no, it wasn't I had no

933
00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:10,960
Speaker 4: idea what was going on. But I loved every minute

934
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:13,960
Speaker 4: of it. And I just think that it's funny thinking back,

935
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:17,719
Speaker 4: like they they really were just in like a lifetime

936
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:20,840
Speaker 4: fitness essentially practicing, and I was like.

937
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:21,640
Speaker 3: This is so cool.

938
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:24,360
