33
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 6: at some point here. Uh, we got a lot to

37
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 6: Let's jump into h During the course of the week, TJ.

38
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 6: Obviously we had conversation about RG three and that was

39
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 6: last week's show. It was RG three and Ryan Clark

40
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 6: again over RG three's approach to a topic connected to

41
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 6: Angel rees. He said that some people from her inner

42
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,639
Speaker 6: circle reached out to him, said that he confirmed it,

43
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 6: that they confirmed that Angel Reese indeed does hate Caitlin Clark,

44
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 6: which I think is that's like, you know, who cares anyway,

45
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 6: But nonetheless he put it on a post. But he

46
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 6: also accompanied that assertion with a photo of Angel Reese

47
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:48,679
Speaker 6: in a monkey suit for the basketball game, the game

48
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 6: that you know, for their league and made comments about

49
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 6: that well, as we all have heard, even though we

50
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 6: didn't get an opportunity until today to talk about it.

51
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 6: Shaquille O'Neill had some point at words towards r G

52
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 6: three about the scenario, and uh well, here's what he

53
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:07,959
Speaker 6: had to say.

54
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 5: I was speaking to man RG three tweeting tweet another

55
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 5: monkey post about my girl injury or some punch in

56
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 5: your face. Okay, it's enough, Like I don't usually do

57
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,799
Speaker 5: stuff like this, but just stop it, bro, You got

58
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 5: your job, you got your podcast. Leave my angelerries alone.

59
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 5: I'm the one called her and telling her not to respond.

60
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:30,079
Speaker 5: Stop it. That's the last time. Okay, thank you. It's

61
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,239
Speaker 5: not real hate. We look around what's going on in

62
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 5: this royal country. That's hate. This is this is sports.

63
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 5: I'm not supposed to like you. It's a shame that

64
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 5: all the stuff you did in your life, you're gonna

65
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 5: be remembered for your podcasts. You're gonna be remembered for

66
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 5: your podcasts that you tell you you're not that great.

67
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 5: I don't want to be remembered for your shacks a

68
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 5: bit podcast.

69
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 6: I do not mean I get where he's coming from.

70
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 6: I don't know that I totally agree with everything the

71
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 6: Big Diesel had to say. But what I do know

72
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 6: and what I did here is Shaq being passionate about

73
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 6: letting RG three know that even in a moment where

74
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 6: maybe RG three thought he was defending Angel Reese. I

75
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 6: don't know how he could have thought that his pure

76
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 6: intentions of posting that was to uh to defend Angel Reese,

77
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 6: but maybe he did. I don't know, But Shaq made

78
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 6: it a point to let him know he didn't feel

79
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 6: that way about it, and if he were to do

80
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 6: it again, h that he's gonna punch him in the face.

81
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 6: So he gave him a like a physical threat. If

82
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 6: you're RG three, how would you respond? How would you

83
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 6: respond to that?

84
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 5: Like?

85
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 6: How how do you take that if you have someone

86
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:47,720
Speaker 6: of the status of Shaquille O'Neill, you know, sending you

87
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:48,600
Speaker 6: a message like that?

88
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 3: If I'm RG three or if I'm TJ.

89
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 6: Uh okay, if you're TJ, I don't think TJ. TJ

90
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 6: wouldn't do this to put himself in that I'm not

91
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 6: putting myself. If you're in that situation as RG three

92
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 6: and your TJ, how do you handle it?

93
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 4: If I'm me? If I want I want you to

94
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 4: show me that you are gonna do what you say

95
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:15,359
Speaker 4: you're gonna do. Then show me like because you punched

96
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 4: me in my face, Uh, you better have something else

97
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,720
Speaker 4: with you. So like, I ain't gonna man, I wish

98
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 4: somebody would just threaten me like that publicly. But I

99
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 4: get shocked though, because he's feeling he feels like r

100
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 4: G three has crossed the line with Angel Ree some

101
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:39,279
Speaker 4: more than one occasion. And you're you're, you're you're trying

102
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 4: to get clout so to speak off of her. By

103
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 4: by doing that, you you act like you were defending her,

104
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 4: but you reposted that like, come on, we knew what

105
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 4: you were doing. And so she may want to go

106
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 4: at him, her brother may want to go at him.

107
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 4: But they have a lot to lose, They have a

108
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 4: lot on the line. They still are in the infancy

109
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 4: ease of their career. They just getting started. So Shaq

110
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 4: is defending her. And when you got somebody, whether it's shocked,

111
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 4: it's just somebody in your corner that can ride for

112
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 4: you and say listen, stop now. When it's shocked, not

113
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 4: only is he huge figuratively and literally the name the

114
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 4: player you just respected and say you know what, my

115
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 4: bad I got you. I'm done with it. But the

116
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 4: pride in you, like you're gonna do what? All right,

117
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 4: show me you're gonna do that? Dan stand on it.

118
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 4: But I feel Shack defending her. I wish it wouldn't

119
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 4: have gotten to this. I just don't understand the why.

120
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 3: Like I get it.

121
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 4: You know, everybody's in the media, everybody does a podcast

122
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 4: RG three, working at ESPN. Why because you know when

123
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 4: you do this, it's gonna gain a ton of traction

124
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 4: when it's injury, and so that could be why. But

125
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 4: I could appreciate Shack standing up for they both went

126
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 4: to LSU had did, as did my children.

127
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 3: They had that connection.

128
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 4: But Shaq is just looking after a young woman man,

129
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 4: making sure that she's protected in the world full of people.

130
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 3: Man, they just don't care.

131
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 6: You know what I found to be interesting. I heard

132
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 6: a take on it and I want to throw it

133
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 6: at you cause I found it to be pretty interesting

134
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,119
Speaker 6: because I had to stop and really like think about

135
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 6: it from the angle and the perspective that the person

136
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 6: brought it from. I don't remember who it was. It

137
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 6: was like I was going through social media. So sorry

138
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 6: for not giving you your credit or you just do

139
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 6: on it. But he basically was, like, what other TV personality,

140
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 6: you know, brand personality would have the latitude to be

141
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 6: able to do that, you know it basically come out

142
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 6: and threat threaten somebody with physical harm and there not

143
00:07:55,360 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 6: be any type of fallout, repercussions or anything that took

144
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 6: place from it, you know, is it's kind of like

145
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 6: what and and and the way he stated it the

146
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 6: way he stated at TJ, he basically said, if it

147
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 6: were a white counterpart that did it and said that

148
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 6: I'm gonna punch you on your f and face if

149
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 6: you say something else about you know, this person, would

150
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 6: it have been handled the same way. And I'm not

151
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 6: sure what what that conclusion. I don't know definitively how

152
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 6: that would be handled, Like like say, for instance, Al

153
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 6: came out. Is that is that the other who's who's

154
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,559
Speaker 6: the host of the show with with with Kenny and

155
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 6: Shaq and and Charles what was his name? Ernie Ernie

156
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 6: Ernie say Ernie comes out and saying I'll punch you

157
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 6: on your face you say something else about her. I mean,

158
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 6: maybe he's big enough. Maybe they wouldn't care, Maybe they

159
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,319
Speaker 6: wouldn't take it seriously. I don't know, but I do

160
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 6: know you could take it seriously that if Shaq's saying

161
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 6: he's gonna punch you in your face, I would assume

162
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 6: he means he's gonna punch you in the face. So

163
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 6: if somebody else were to come out and do that,

164
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,319
Speaker 6: I mean, would a would a brand still want to

165
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:11,079
Speaker 6: represent you?

166
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:11,319
Speaker 3: What?

167
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 6: They still want you saying by our product? What they

168
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 6: Would you still be working for a major outlet if

169
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 6: you had came out and handle it the way that

170
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 6: Shaq did. I don't know that the answer is yes.

171
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 3: I don't.

172
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 6: I don't know that it's even a color thing. I

173
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 6: don't think if you're as high up as Shaq is

174
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 6: as a black person, I don't think that you would

175
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 6: be able to survive something like that, just based off

176
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 6: of the balance of it. What would your take be

177
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 6: on that?

178
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:44,079
Speaker 4: I mean, but because Shaq is such a big dude,

179
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 4: Like when Shaq says that, I think people assume, like, yeah,

180
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,199
Speaker 4: they gonna be quiet because.

181
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, and then you know he meant business.

182
00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 4: You know, he took his shades off when he said it,

183
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,319
Speaker 4: so you don't look into my eyes and see that

184
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 4: I ain't playing. But I don't know if it's someone else,

185
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 4: like we assume like, yeah, you did he really just

186
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 4: say this to him, like well he got the nerve.

187
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 4: But when Shaq said it, it was just like, oh, yeah,

188
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,679
Speaker 4: you might want to chill as shack. Yeah so it

189
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 4: Well we'll we'll never know. But again, if you are

190
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:26,839
Speaker 4: G three, I'm leaving it alone. I don't I'm not

191
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 4: uhoking that one. No, I'm not bringing up I'm not

192
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:37,679
Speaker 4: even gonna talk about Angel Reese anymore again, Like she

193
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 4: will never be on my social media unless I'm working

194
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 4: on TV and I'm asked about her. I'm not discussing her.

195
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:48,559
Speaker 4: I'm not bringing her up. I'm gonna just let it

196
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 4: be because it's obvious when he speaks on Angel Reese,

197
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 4: it's almost as if he has a bias against her,

198
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 4: like he doesn't like her, and it comes off that way.

199
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 4: He may not feel that way. I'm just saying on

200
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 4: the outside looking in, I don't know that way. I

201
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,439
Speaker 4: don't know Angelies, I don't know RG three, but it

202
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 4: does come off as if he doesn't like her. And

203
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 4: so when you do do these things, it's like, oh, okay,

204
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 4: he's picking on her again, not as is he's just

205
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 4: reporting on her. He's just he's picking on her.

206
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 6: And so he's doing it on his own platforms, right,

207
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 6: It's not like he's doing this on on a major outlet.

208
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,319
Speaker 6: He's doing this on his own platforms, you know what

209
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,719
Speaker 6: I mean. So it's like you didn't we mentioned this

210
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 6: in the show last week. He did not have to

211
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 6: to post repost what that person had created like that.

212
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 6: You could have responded to what that person posted without

213
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 6: reposting that that that content you did, that that was intentional,

214
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 6: Like that was intentional. And I don't think anyone could

215
00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 6: ever justify that not being an intention act by RG three.

216
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 6: And that's where to me, that's where I say he

217
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 6: crossed the line. If you were really intending to say

218
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 6: you were in this to defend Angel Reese along with

219
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 6: the idea that I'm telling you I was telling the truth.

220
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 6: In fact, some people hit me up. I don't have

221
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 6: any reason to lie. People from her, her crew, her

222
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:21,959
Speaker 6: camp hit me up, said that this is what the

223
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 6: conversation was. She don't like Caitlin Clark, she hates her.

224
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 6: I confirmed that Blase blah, this.

225
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 3: That and the other.

226
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 6: To me, if you're doing that, like okay, if you're

227
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 6: doing it to defend her from somebody being ignorant towards

228
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 6: her and exercising bigotry and ignorance, Okay, then do that.

229
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 6: If you're doing it to say I want to clear

230
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:45,839
Speaker 6: my name and I want to clear up what was

231
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 6: talked about and I've talked to such and such and

232
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 6: such and such. If you're going to go down that lane,

233
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 6: then you better provide some receipts. You better provide some

234
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 6: receipts with what it is and then be done with it.

235
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 4: It was so like, yeah, you can't say that because

236
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:01,959
Speaker 4: the majority of the people's not they're not gonna believe that.

237
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 3: You can't make that statement.

238
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 4: Who's going to believe that when every time you speak

239
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 4: on her it seems as if you're not speaking on it,

240
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 4: you're attacking her.

241
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 6: That's an entry point. You use that as your way

242
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 6: to be able. This is why I'm talking about Angel rees. Oh,

243
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 6: by the way, since we're talking about Angel Reas because

244
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 6: of this, here here's some other things that I want

245
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 6: to get off my chest about the Angel Reas topy.

246
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 6: It's almost like they still in their house. It's still

247
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,839
Speaker 6: whatever's going on with him and his family, his wife

248
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 6: has been has been hit by this. He's still dealing

249
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,719
Speaker 6: with the effects of it, and he wanted to talk

250
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 6: about it some more. That's what it sounds like to me.

251
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 6: He's getting into his conversations in the house. This is

252
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 6: impacting me this way. Oh babe, I love you, do Doda.

253
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 6: I'm sorry. Let me take the social media and clear

254
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 6: this that's up. How do I do it without coming

255
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 6: across as attacking angel reads? Oh let me throw a

256
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 6: monkey up here, say that racism is crazy. By the way,

257
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,719
Speaker 6: I just don't talk about this because she attacked me,

258
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 6: and people are attacking me and my family and sending

259
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:07,680
Speaker 6: death threats our way in on It's like you go out,

260
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:11,319
Speaker 6: you go away from being in a coherent conversation to

261
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 6: just ranting about something else that's bothering you, which made

262
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 6: me believe that that's what he was really wanting to

263
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 6: talk about, not no monkey business, so to speak. Anyway,

264
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 6: we'll see how that all works out. I think that

Speaker 2: Not really yet, but I've definitely got a text from Luca.

311
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 2: I know how to all season go. You know this

312
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 2: is not my first and Rolio people are probably busy

313
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 2: and you know, training and seven times with their families.

314
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 3: But I'm just waiting.

315
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 2: I'm just really just to integrate myself with the team

316
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 2: and get to know everybody.

317
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,439
Speaker 6: Is this something or is this just nothing?

318
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:06,959
Speaker 3: Are there?

319
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 8: Is this?

320
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 6: Should this be made into something? Or how do you

321
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 6: how do you see this? Lebron James not reaching out

322
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 6: or not having contact with the new edition of DeAndre

323
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 6: Ayden at this point, I.

324
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 3: Will say this.

325
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,400
Speaker 4: I felt like, when you're a leader of the team

326
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 4: and somebody signs with your team that should be a

327
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 4: big part of your team, that you believe will be

328
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:39,360
Speaker 4: a big part of your team. You should reach out

329
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 4: to him to say, what's up, man, glad you're on

330
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 4: the team. Can't wait to get this season going. Let's

331
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 4: go get it just whatever it may be. I believe

332
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:50,680
Speaker 4: that's what you should do if you're a leader of

333
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 4: the team. Lebron felt otherwise, and you know it is

334
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 4: what it is. And obviously for DeAndre aid and to

335
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 4: bring that up, I think it slightly bothered them and Lebron.

336
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 3: May not care.

337
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 4: It's not a big deal. Everybody leads differently, you know,

338
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 4: when they do me. Lebron is probably like, man, it's

339
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 4: the off season. Man, When I see you at training, cap,

340
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 4: I see you. If I see you in the city,

341
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 4: I see you. We'll talk in person.

342
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 3: I don't know.

343
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 4: I don't And again, I don't know if this is

344
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 4: how Lebron does things, if he not texting guys like that,

345
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 4: I'll see you when I see you.

346
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 3: I don't know.

347
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 4: But me personally, I was a leader on every team

348
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 4: that I was a part of, even before I was playing.

349
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:41,879
Speaker 4: You don't determine who your leaders are. The locker room

350
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:46,159
Speaker 4: determines the leaders, and for whatever reason, I was one

351
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 4: of those guys. I don't know why you'd have to

352
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:52,199
Speaker 4: ask the locker room, but I would have liked Lebron

353
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 4: just sind him a text because if DeAndre Ayton brings

354
00:18:56,320 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 4: that up, especially because Luca sent him a message, that

355
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 4: bothers them. And yes, him and Luca have the same representation,

356
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,199
Speaker 4: so I'm sure you know they were like, hey, make

357
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 4: sure you reach out to him, or they already have

358
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 4: a relationship because they were in the same draft class.

359
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 4: I don't know how tight they are, but me being

360
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 4: a leader of the teams that I was on, I

361
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:19,400
Speaker 4: would have reached out to him.

362
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 3: Again. Again.

363
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:26,399
Speaker 4: Lebron James's leadership may be different or it is what

364
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 4: it is. I don't I don't, I don't know, but

365
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 4: I would have liked for him to reach out for sure.

366
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 6: I think this is DeAndre Aiden being collateral damage in

367
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 6: a situation, a damaged situation.

368
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:41,200
Speaker 3: I think.

369
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 6: I think whatever's going on, it's clearly showing a minimizing

370
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:50,920
Speaker 6: of Lebron James as an LA Laker, and I think

371
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:56,360
Speaker 6: that goes back to the departure of Anthony Davis. That's

372
00:19:56,440 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 6: what I believe. And as this minimizing conte use on,

373
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:05,959
Speaker 6: there's the in my estimation, a clearer picture that Lebron

374
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 6: James will not be a Laker. It's a slim to

375
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:12,880
Speaker 6: none chance that Lebron James is a Laker next year.

376
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 6: I believe if he's going to be a part of

377
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 6: this team, even in an act of solidarity, an act

378
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 6: of just keeping people off their toes or excuse me,

379
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:30,160
Speaker 6: keeping them on their toes, you do everything the right way,

380
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 6: you check off all the boxes. I believe Lebron James

381
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 6: is at this point he understands what he does. He's

382
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 6: a season that he is a successful businessman. He knows

383
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 6: some of the most powerful people in the world. He

384
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 6: understands how to play the game, and so to me

385
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:51,639
Speaker 6: to not reach out to DeAndre Ayden is either it

386
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,920
Speaker 6: is a direct shot at a former number one overall

387
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 6: draft pick that he had very little to nothing to

388
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 6: do with him coming to the Lakers, which further shows

389
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:07,719
Speaker 6: that they're moving away, possibly from what what Lebron has

390
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 6: represented to this organization, or he's just trying to flex.

391
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,879
Speaker 6: It's a flex like I'm still Lebron James, like you

392
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 6: are a former number one. I get that, but you

393
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 6: know you're coming to my team. This is my this

394
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 6: is my deal, this is my operation, and I'll talk

395
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 6: to you when I get to you. I'll get to

396
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 6: you when I feel like it, and I want everybody

397
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 6: in an organization to know that that's what I'm gonna

398
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 6: do as well. I don't know if it's an internal

399
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:37,680
Speaker 6: power struggle for him to stay more so than it

400
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,879
Speaker 6: feeling like more and more with the things that are

401
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:45,399
Speaker 6: taking place tj that this is clearly uh a a.

402
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:49,159
Speaker 6: These are decisions that are being made without him and

403
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 6: with the idea that he's not going to be a part.

404
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:52,400
Speaker 3: Of this team.

405
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 6: That's my take on it.

406
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 3: I don't know though, man like.

407
00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 4: Number one, lebron salary is just under fifty three million.

408
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:05,360
Speaker 4: I believe it's fifty two point seven million. I don't

409
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:09,120
Speaker 4: know how many teams are taking on that contract that's number.

410
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:12,399
Speaker 6: One, because her conversations with Dallas have been heating up.

411
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 3: I don't know if we can get.

412
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 4: That, but hey, hey, if we can get Cooper Flag,

413
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 4: hey let's go. Because Lebron opted into his contract, he

414
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 4: could no Cooper Flag form, no Lebron j then it

415
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 4: ain't happening. Then it ain't happening. Lebron opted into his contract.

416
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 4: Lebron could have opted out and chose to be a

417
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:37,120
Speaker 4: free agent and go wherever.

418
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 3: He wanted to go. But he could have done that.

419
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:42,399
Speaker 6: Value though wait wait, wait, wait, value that he's carrying?

420
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:46,400
Speaker 4: What value when I say fifty million? So you don't

421
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 4: think he would have been able to get fifty two millions?

422
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:50,120
Speaker 6: So well, he doesn't have to worry about it now.

423
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 4: So if I'm the Lakers that, if I'm the Lakers,

424
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:55,680
Speaker 4: I look at it from this perspective. You opted in

425
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,640
Speaker 4: because you wanted the fifty two million. I'm not training

426
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 4: you because you wont to be traded. You could opt

427
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:02,120
Speaker 4: it out.

428
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 3: And been gone.

429
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:06,400
Speaker 4: Now, if I can get something in return that's beneficial

430
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:10,439
Speaker 4: for us, then I'll for sure do it. But if

431
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 4: if it isn't beneficial to the la because we've traded

432
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 4: all our draft picks because of Lebron, we've gated, we've

433
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 4: given away every.

434
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 6: They were forced into that contract based off of where

435
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,160
Speaker 6: they were currently at when they did that contract.

436
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 4: Well, no, no, no, no, no, I'll say this, bro, Honestly,

437
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:30,680
Speaker 4: every dime Lebron has made, he's earned it. Lebron really

438
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,119
Speaker 4: should be making one hundred million a year. The fifty

439
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:36,200
Speaker 4: two he making this year is less than the value

440
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:38,440
Speaker 4: he's bringing and he's brought to the Lakers. Let me

441
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 4: say that, Okay, Lebron has they just sold for ten billion? Yep,

442
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 4: Lebron paid a part in that. He didn't get a

443
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 4: part of that ten million that they were sold for.

444
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:52,680
Speaker 4: Lebron really is worth a hundred million a year, maybe more.

445
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:56,200
Speaker 4: He's really worth that. You got dudes making seventy million

446
00:23:56,240 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 4: a year if they named Lebron James like what and

447
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 4: so I'm not just.

448
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 3: A guy like this?

449
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 6: Look can you can you see it?

450
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:04,479
Speaker 3: From this angle.

451
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 6: Maybe Lebron James understands the idea of what the handwriting

452
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,920
Speaker 6: on the wall is. Yeah. Yeah, And so I'm gonna

453
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 6: take this. I'm gonna take this, this option because I

454
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,119
Speaker 6: know y'all don't want me anyway. So at least that

455
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:21,399
Speaker 6: just it establishes my floor for what it is that

456
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 6: I'm going to receive. Y'all don't want me anyway.

457
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:28,439
Speaker 3: Who the Lakers do want them? Now? Yes, yes, the Lakers.

458
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 3: The Lakers.

459
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:31,879
Speaker 4: The Lakers are not compared to the Lakers are playing

460
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 4: team without Lebron at best, a playing team without Lebron

461
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:39,160
Speaker 4: at best. Think about this, leave if you just brought

462
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 4: up the Dallas Mavericks, there's no way you say, Cooper

463
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 4: Flag isn't on the table. There's no way you can

464
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 4: have a team of Lebron James, Kyrie Irving, Anthony Davis,

465
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 4: Cooper Flag.

466
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 3: What on one team?

467
00:24:58,320 --> 00:24:59,640
Speaker 6: Like that's possible.

468
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 4: That's no, that's impossible because now you're stunned Cooper Flag's growth,

469
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 4: his growth will be his growth will be stunning. Yeah,

470
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 4: we know Kyrie is not going to start the season healthy.

471
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 4: His stunt will be I mean, his growth will be stunted.

472
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:14,919
Speaker 6: All them dudes is over to hell. I don't think

473
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 6: that that would stun.

474
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,400
Speaker 3: His Anthony Davis was not over to hell. Anthony Davis

475
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 3: is not over.

476
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:21,680
Speaker 6: I feel like his health team.

477
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 3: Nowhere near over the hill.

478
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:28,159
Speaker 4: When Kyrie come back, I'm assume the way technology is

479
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 4: and the way these guys were, Kyrie gonna be fine.

480
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 3: Lebron not over there. You can't tell me somebody that's average.

481
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:37,680
Speaker 6: Many more years expect lebron Is to play? Okay, start

482
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 6: with Lebron.

483
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:42,200
Speaker 4: I expect Lebron to play two more seasons. Okay, I

484
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 4: expect Anthony Davis to play at least five more seasons.

485
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 4: I expect Kyrie Irving to play at least seven more seasons.

486
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 3: That's not over, but not.

487
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:56,959
Speaker 6: Yes, that is. And the reason why I'm gonna say

488
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,160
Speaker 6: it's over to hell is because these guys be young

489
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 6: as hell when they come into the league for one

490
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 6: thirty two years, Like, yeah, you can play unto till

491
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,879
Speaker 6: you're into your forties and stuff like that playing basketball.

492
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 6: But if you're telling me that to me, over the

493
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,680
Speaker 6: hill means your best games are behind you and and

494
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 6: you're on your way out. If you're saying to me

495
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:19,879
Speaker 6: two more years, three more years, five more years, Lebron.

496
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:24,680
Speaker 4: That's Lebron averaged twenty five Bro, Nobody, you can't tell

497
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 4: me somebody that's averages twenty five points is over the hill.

498
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 6: He's still an elite. He still plays out an elite level.

499
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 4: Know he's over the hill. Why you can't say elite

500
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 4: in over the hill in the same sense, Yes you.

501
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:39,119
Speaker 6: Can, you're elite, and this can still he's so elite.

502
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:42,119
Speaker 6: His over the hill can still be elite. It's a

503
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 6: little it's just like what he.

504
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 3: His age is making people say, oh, he may be

505
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:49,440
Speaker 3: over the hill.

506
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 6: He don't play the same way. His game isn't the

507
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 6: same game that it was when he was in his prime.

508
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 6: He is no Lebron James.

509
00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 4: Of course, it is Kyrie irving, but he's still effective.

510
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 4: He's still effective. He's still effective. Kyrie may be better

511
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:06,640
Speaker 4: than he's ever been.

512
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 6: I don't I don't know.

513
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:09,359
Speaker 3: We don't know how he's.

514
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 6: Gonna come off and at I don't think where they're

515
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 6: at TJ. That stunts Flag's growth if all.

516
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 3: Those guys are the same team.

517
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:20,199
Speaker 4: In my opinion, it stunts his growth because now if

518
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:23,360
Speaker 4: you're trying, if you're trying to let Cooper Flag develop

519
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,360
Speaker 4: and be what you believe he can be. You're gonna

520
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 4: have to have the ball in his hands. You're gonna

521
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 4: have to let him fail at times. Are you going

522
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 4: to do that to the detriment of the team and

523
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:38,679
Speaker 4: Lebron and Kyrie and Anthony Davis feeling they can win

524
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 4: a championship.

525
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:41,200
Speaker 3: No, you're not. I'll be honest.

526
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 4: If I felt like I could win a championship, I

527
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 4: would trade Cooper Flag if it's going to mean a

528
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 4: championship because you think you may win one with Cooper Flag.

529
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:51,159
Speaker 3: You don't know.

530
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,640
Speaker 6: But the potential of what you can earn with Cooper Flag,

531
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 6: even if you don't win a championship, to me, you.

532
00:27:59,040 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 3: Would not do that.

533
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 4: The potential, you know what you're gonna arn with Lebron.

534
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 4: It's proven every team Lebron is gone to, he's elevated

535
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:11,680
Speaker 4: him not only on the court, but the value of

536
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:14,160
Speaker 4: the franchise. Look at the Cleveland Caves, Look what he did.

537
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:15,879
Speaker 4: Look what he did with the Miami Heat, Look what

538
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:20,440
Speaker 4: he did with the Lakers. Like that's right there, that's evidence.

539
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 4: Three teams elevated all of them on the.

540
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 3: Corter and off the court.

541
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 6: A younger Lebron and a Lebron that was in the

542
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 6: latter stage, well not the latter stage of his prime

543
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,119
Speaker 6: in LA but certainly getting ready.

544
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:34,440
Speaker 3: Yeah.

545
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:36,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, I would say latter day of his prime. Yeah,

546
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 6: because he's not in his prime anymore. It's not a

547
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 6: prime Lebron James. It's not it's an old way.

548
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 3: We all know that it's not a prime Lebron James.

549
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 4: But this still is a great Lebron James when you

550
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 4: average twenty five points. Yes, and if you really look

551
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 4: at it, Lebron was a top ten player last season.

552
00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 3: Bro, he's a top ten player.

553
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 6: But is that an indictment on the league?

554
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 4: Or is that that's what I say you want to Lebron.

555
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 4: That's a moving, that's a moving on the gold post.

556
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 4: That's a disrespect to Lebron James. I'm just ask oh,

557
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 4: because now because I'm top ten, it's an indictment on

558
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 4: the league.

559
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 3: No, Lebron, is it still that good? No, he's just

560
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 3: that good in the NBA.

561
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 6: Is that good where Lebron James at his age can

562
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 6: be a top ten player?

563
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 4: Lebron is that great to wear At the age of forty,

564
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 4: I was a top ten player in the league. That's

565
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 4: a credit to him. You can't discredit that, man. Oh,

566
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 4: because he's older, he's quote unquote over the hill. Oh,

567
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 4: these that's his play.

568
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 6: That's his dedication to the gold ass Michael Jordan and Washington.

569
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 6: I was there, We were there. We came in the

570
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 6: same exact time. I sat courtside and watched him play

571
00:29:56,360 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 6: all every game. I was there, and he was great.

572
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 3: Rate.

573
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 6: Michael Jordan, Washington Wizard, was a dope ass basketball player

574
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 6: for the Washington Wizards. He was nowhere near the player

575
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 6: he was in Chicago that he was in Washington. Now, however,

576
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 6: anybody wants to take that, they could take it. However,

577
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 6: however you want to take it, DJ, you could take it.

578
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 5: He was very good.

579
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 4: He was very good in Washington. He wasn't great. Bro,

580
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 4: Let's be honest. He was good, very good. He wasn't

581
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 4: great when he played for the Washington Wizards. Bro, Come on,

582
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 4: I know, man, he was the best player. Was who

583
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 4: was the best player on the team? Him or Jerry Stackhouse.

584
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 4: Keep it a buck.

585
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 6: Mj was the best player on the team. Bro. He

586
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 6: was still the best player on the team, and he

587
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 6: was still a top player in the league. One hundred percent,

588
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 6: like not even up for debate. Like Stack was good.

589
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 4: And Michael Jordan is the greatest player to ever play

590
00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 4: the game in my eyes, let me say that, But

591
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 4: he wasn't a top ten player when he was with

592
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 4: the Wizards.

593
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 6: I think the pool of players and the talent level

594
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 6: that you speak of is different than the pool of

595
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 6: players and the talent in today's.

596
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 3: Leg Oh it's not the players.

597
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 4: The players of today and every sport are better than

598
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 4: they were back then. I think they because they're they're

599
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 4: I think they're The mentality may not be better. That's

600
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:25,719
Speaker 4: toughness difference. The toughness may not be there, But as

601
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 4: far as the skill of it, these players are better.

602
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 4: Like the receivers are better now than when we came in.

603
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, but they're not better. It's not that they're necessarily better.

604
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 6: I just feel like I understand where you're coming from,

605
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 6: but I just don't. I don't see them as being better. Like, yes,

606
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 6: better technology, James.

607
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:51,720
Speaker 4: Everybody wants to move the goal posts fair and make

608
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 4: and make excuses. Though he over there, he not over

609
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 4: Somebody averaged twenty five. Let me be over the hill

610
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:00,160
Speaker 4: and I'm averaging twenty five. Let me be over the

611
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:01,720
Speaker 4: hill and I'm a top ten player in the league

612
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 4: full of young guys.

613
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 3: Let that be meet in. I take that.

614
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 4: Lebron gonna give you a minimum this year twenty three

615
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 4: to twenty five. Again, he gonna average seven and nine

616
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 4: and sist he gonna get you seven and nine rebounds.

617
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 3: So he gonna get you twenty three, seven and seven

618
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 3: at worst. I don't know that.

619
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 4: That's an all start every single year. And we're talking

620
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 4: about it. Man, that's going on year twenty two and

621
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 4: he gonna get you that. Come on, man, that's unbelievable.

622
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 6: I don't know, man, We'll see how it all plays out.

623
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 6: But what I do know is Isaac Lowenkron he delivers

624
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 6: updates like nobody else's business. So let's get one of those.

625
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 6: What you got out love?

626
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 3: Yeah.

627
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 8: Basketball legend Michael Jordan has just issued a statement responding

628
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 8: to recent criticism made by legendary football player Michael LeVar

629
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:55,959
Speaker 8: Arrington about Michael jar I didn't criticize him.

630
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 3: That, I didn't criticize it. Don't put that on mean.

631
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:00,480
Speaker 3: I'd say were great.

632
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 4: He was.

633
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 3: He just won the top ten player. That's a fact.

634
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 8: It wasn't about uh, It wasn't about what TJ said.

635
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 8: It was what LeVar said about Michael's time with Oh no,

636
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 8: you're right, I read the AP Newsler wrong. It was

637
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 8: a response to TJ's criticism about his time with the

638
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 8: Washington Wizards.

639
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 3: Oh so that's how you're gonna play it.

640
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 2: You're gonna do this, Okay.

641
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 3: That's all I needed. That's all I needed for him

642
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 3: to do that, And it became personal with me.

643
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 8: Ah crazy, Michael Jordan, big fan.

644
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 6: Up on games. Yeahs, dude, I mean you know we are.

645
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 8: We are some guys you just don't criticize. I'm just saying,

646
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 8: can't say anything critical about the playoff Scottie Scheffler in

647
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 8: round three of the Open Championship. He continues to widen.

648
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 8: His lady has now got a three shot advantage at

649
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 8: thirteen under par overall. Today he has three under it

650
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 8: through thirteen whole. Leehu Toong of China is three shots

651
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 8: back at ten under. Then you've got Englishman Terrell Hadden

652
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 8: and Matt Fitzpatrick four shots back at nine under par overall.

653
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 8: But the big story of the day the incredible charge

654
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:19,239
Speaker 8: made by Rory McElroy. It continued here on the fifteenth hole.

655
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:22,400
Speaker 3: His fidgets with the top of his potter this to

656
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 3: go to eight. Well, they'll tell you he's charging in

657
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 3: this round today. Rory McElroy five under on Moving Day,

658
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:36,759
Speaker 3: he has moved and then some.

659
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 8: So McElroy five hundred through seventeen holds today five shots

660
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:43,719
Speaker 8: off the lead, as well as Americans Chris Gotterrup and

661
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:46,879
Speaker 8: Harris English. Finally LeVar and TJ.

662
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 1: How about this?

663
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 8: Today is the one hundred and third birthday of Rachel Robinson,

664
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 8: the wife of the late great Jackie Robinson and the

665
00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 8: founder of the Jackie Robinson Foundation. An extraordinary woman who

666
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:06,719
Speaker 8: has done so much to continue Jackie Robinson's legacy. So

667
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:11,040

669
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:15,359
Speaker 6: All right, let's get a quick break and we'll wrap

00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 6: up the show. On the other side of this break back,

671
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:19,839
Speaker 6: Bradley Bill, he's on the move.

672
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:20,880
Speaker 3: He's got some new digs.

673
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:23,919
Speaker 6: I'm curious to hear what TJ has to say about

Speaker 6: it will always pop up at the top of your screen.

687
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:13,840
Speaker 6: Before we get up out of here, we had some

688
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:18,120
Speaker 6: movers and some shakers take place. Bradley Bill ends up

689
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 6: with the La Clippers, Dame Lillard ends up back with

690
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 6: the Portland Trailblazers. Before we get up out of here,

691
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 6: what were your feelings on on those acquisitions transactions that

692
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:32,439
Speaker 6: took place in the NBA TJ.

693
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:36,560
Speaker 4: Let's let's start with the latter, Damian Lillard going back

694
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:40,920
Speaker 4: where he started his career. It's great for him, man,

695
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:46,920
Speaker 4: his family is there, and it's kind of crazy how

696
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 4: things ends up working its way out the way. The

697
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 4: Bucks ditting surprised, everybody surprised.

698
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:56,839
Speaker 3: Every like they gonna stretch him.

699
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 4: You just don't see that in the NBA, not of

700
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:01,880
Speaker 4: a player of his caliber coming off that type of injury,

701
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:06,839
Speaker 4: and so I'm eager to see how that looks and him,

702
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 4: Schoot Henderson, Drew Holliday. Do they all stay on the

703
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 4: same team, Do they move gout? I don't know, but

704
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 4: I think for him going back home to be where

705
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:16,920
Speaker 4: his family is, that's a great thing.

706
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 3: I don't believe they're much of a title contenders.

707
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 4: Until he gets back on the court. I think I

708
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 4: believe he'll miss the entire next season and then he'll

709
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 4: be ready to go. But even still, they're not contending

710
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 4: for a title. Bradley Bill going to the Clippers, it

711
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:40,879
Speaker 4: was surprising, like if you look at it, he wasn't

712
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 4: able to be himself in Phoenix because he wasn't able

713
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:47,320
Speaker 4: to take as many shots and have a ball in

714
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:49,759
Speaker 4: his hands as much as he did when he was

715
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 4: at Washington.

716
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:52,839
Speaker 3: And then you go to the Clippers and you're gonna

717
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:56,440
Speaker 3: be in the same situation. James harn't gonna have a ball,

718
00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 3: Kawhi gonna have a ball.

719
00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 4: You're gonna be in the same situation duation that you

720
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:06,239
Speaker 4: were in in Phoenix, and so I don't know what

721
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:07,839
Speaker 4: he's thinking. I don't know if he wanted to play

722
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 4: in LA. If he wanted to play in LA, I

723
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 4: probably would have come to the Lakers. Like I don't

724
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 4: understand these dudes that come play in LA and you're

725
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:22,279
Speaker 4: not even playing for the real team, Like you gonna

726
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:23,759
Speaker 4: if you're gonna come, if I want to be an

727
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:24,920
Speaker 4: I'm playing for the Lakers.

728
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:28,480
Speaker 3: I'm playing for the Lakers, and the Lakers wanted them.

729
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 4: He chose not to, But I believe the best fit

730
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:34,839
Speaker 4: would have been the Golden State Warriors. Ton of ball

731
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:38,840
Speaker 4: movement he had knockdown shooter, you're gonna Golden State has.

732
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 6: A type offense touched the ball that much with them either.

733
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:45,200
Speaker 4: The Golden State Warriors, to me, is more of a

734
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:49,440
Speaker 4: if you're open, you're gonna shoot the ball. We player movement.

735
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:53,040
Speaker 4: Nobody that The Warriors don't really go a ton of isolation.

736
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:56,759
Speaker 4: They running pigs, guys are moving. That's how Curry. They

737
00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:01,799
Speaker 4: very rarely do they isolate. Clippers James Harden get the ball,

738
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 4: he going to work. So like Kawhi Leonard, get the ball,

739
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 4: he going to work. That's the same thing that he

740
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 4: had in Phoenix with KD and books, So I don't

741
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:13,280
Speaker 4: like that on the court. Now they lose Norman Palce,

742
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 4: so they do need that scoring punch. But I just

743
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:20,600
Speaker 4: don't know how that's going to work. Probably Tyler is

744
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:22,440
Speaker 4: a great coach. He'll figure out a way to make

745
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:26,960
Speaker 4: sure Bradley Bill is comfortable. Bradley Bil is a baller.

746
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:29,319
Speaker 4: I wish we had all the Lakers. That's what I'm saying.

747
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 6: Okay, I was curious because my next question to you

748
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:34,719
Speaker 6: is going to be I know we're about to wrap up,

749
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 6: but like, how do you feel about Bradley Bil Do

750
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 6: you believe he's still the type of player like for

751
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:42,120
Speaker 6: me when I saw him when he first came in

752
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 6: to Washington, He's a straight killer, straight beast on the court.

753
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:49,879
Speaker 6: You know, things didn't, you know, kind of shake out

754
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 6: the way it could have exactly shook out for him.

755
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:55,880
Speaker 6: But I mean, nonetheless, he has had a crazy productive career.

756
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:57,960
Speaker 6: I mean, do you see him as being a game

757
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:01,440
Speaker 6: changer or just a cog apiece to a major puzzle.

758
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:06,400
Speaker 3: I don't know if he can be a game changer

759
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:07,080
Speaker 3: at this point.

760
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:10,200
Speaker 4: Now, if you're gonna put the ball in his hands

761
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:12,440
Speaker 4: and let him get his shots off like he did

762
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:16,080
Speaker 4: in Washington. He can be a game changer, would you agree? Yeah,

763
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:19,000
Speaker 4: I don't know if that's possible. And now, how is

764
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 4: he mentally coming off what happened? If Phinnix like mentally,

765
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:25,359
Speaker 4: do you you still have that confidence because I think

766
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:26,440
Speaker 4: you were relegated to that.

767
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:29,239
Speaker 6: I think he's a strong dude, and I think that

768
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:32,160
Speaker 6: he gets through tough, tough situations because he's been called

769
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:34,719
Speaker 6: to get through tough situations. So we'll see how it

770
00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:37,600
Speaker 6: all plays out. Man, you crushed it today, bro. Enjoy

771
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:40,719
Speaker 6: the day. Everybody else out there enjoyed the day. Make

772
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:43,400
Speaker 6: sure you stay locked in. Jonas Knox with the JKS

773
