Speaker 3: You can also obviously check us out on the YouTube page.

25
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 3: By the way, I've been meaning to bring this up

26
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 3: off the air. I will now bring it up on

27
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 3: the air. But if the folks at YouTube or the

28
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 3: folks at Fox, whoever's in charge here, we need that

29
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 3: damn plaque. We got to one hundred thousand subscribers. I

30
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 3: have not yet given Demons as cash bonus because I

31
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 3: want to present it to him along with the plaque.

32
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 3: But the clock is ticking on that we need that

33
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 3: plaque forgetting to one hundred thousand subscribers, you know what,

34
00:01:59,320 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 3: And so.

35
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 5: Let's get I'm getting worried that we ordered it.

36
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 3: We ordered it. It shouldn't have had to order it.

37
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,359
Speaker 3: It should be sent to us as an honor.

38
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 5: I think they sent in an order, did.

39
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 3: Like a request, like, hey, we've gotten there, and send

40
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 3: us our damn plaque.

41
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 5: All right.

42
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 4: By the way, speaking of, let's.

43
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 3: Just do this here, because the show's schedule is gonna

44
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 3: be a little off the next ten days or so,

45
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 3: and so I am doing the show, and I'm going

46
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 3: doing TV today, and then I am shortly thereafter flying

47
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 3: to Brazil. If you guys, remember I said Brazil's gonna

48
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 3: win the World Cup. I was gonna spend the money

49
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 3: I made betting on Brazil to win the World Cup

50
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 3: on a trip to Brazil. Brazil did not win the

51
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 3: World Cup and I lost money betting on Brazil in

52
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 3: the World Cup. But the trip is happening nonetheless, So

53
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 3: I am out all of next week and then back

54
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 3: on TV a week from Monday. This podcast might be

55
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 3: back on a week from Monday, or it might be

56
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 3: back two weeks from today, so we're definitely off next week.

57
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 3: Demanse will be with us next week, and then Demanse

58
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 3: is gonna be in and out for a bit because

59
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 3: he's taking a trip to Los Angeles to find an apartment,

60
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 3: figure get his life set up out there, and then

61
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 3: eventually he's moving out there. Our plan as of now

62
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 3: is as follows that, starting mid March ish, Demanse is

63
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 3: going to be on leave from the podcast as he

64
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 3: gets set up in Los Angeles. The podcast will still

65
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 3: be going two or three times a week as it

66
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 3: has you know, for the better part of the year

67
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 3: now and it is a family business.

68
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 4: And sitting in for Demanse will be his.

69
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 3: Mother, his little sister you guys haven't seen on the show,

70
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 3: the senior in high school, and maybe occasionally the youngest

71
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 3: sister who you have seen on the show, Deanna.

72
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: Uh.

73
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 3: And so that that'll be the process for call it

74
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 3: the next few months, a couple months, and then come

75
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 3: in you know, conference finals, NBA playoffs, NBA finals, demone

76
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 3: will pop back in and then post finals, pre football

77
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 3: we take usually some vacation, not sure exactly what the

78
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 3: schedule is going to be like there, and then in August,

79
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 3: when we are turning the page fully to football, Demons

80
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 3: will be back. Is our playing in a full time

81
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 3: capacity from Los Angeles, so like a split screen thing

82
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 3: similar to I think we've done one pod like that

83
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 3: with me in La Well yeah, but it was when

84
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 3: we were at home.

85
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 4: Yes, it was for a different setup, but we've done

86
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 4: it before.

87
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 5: Yeah.

88
00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 4: And so because after this year of betting on football

89
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 4: and talking football and.

90
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,679
Speaker 3: So much of sports media, as much as we both

91
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 3: love the NBA, is football with this shows at its

92
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 3: best with me and him together, and so prior to

93
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 3: football season, he'll be back in the co host chair

94
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 3: full time. And then when football season's over, you know,

95
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 3: we'll reevaluate and we'll see and see and see everything

96
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:26,479
Speaker 3: that's going.

97
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 4: But that is the play in tentatively moving forward.

98
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 3: So we're going this is not like Demanday's last show

99
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 3: here sitting with me, but pretty soon he's moving to

100
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 3: Los Angeles and he has a real job with Fox

101
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 3: in addition to this that he's got to be in

102
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,280
Speaker 3: person for and all of that. So we're gonna be

103
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 3: off next week, and that's the plan. Demonsey and I

104
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 3: had a good dinner talking about that and talking about

105
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 3: life and everything as he's getting ready to move cross coast,

106
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 3: and then also his little sister, Diora, pretty soon's getting

107
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 3: ready to move.

108
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 4: Somewhere for college.

109
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 3: We don't yet nowhere, and so so a lot of

110
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 3: changes in the right household. But this show will keep

111
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 3: going with again a week off coming up and then

112
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 3: some time off.

113
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 4: After the NBA Finals.

114
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 3: So now that that has been dealt with, we can

115
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 3: get into today's show, which is a very NBA heavy show.

116
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 3: We must start with what missed the cut for today's show.

117
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 3: Here's what is not on today's show. Aaron Rodgers emerges

118
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 3: from Darkness. I have now seen pictures of the place.

119
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 4: Have you that?

120
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers was like, I'm spending four days in a

121
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 3: darkness retreat and it seemed all weird. Let me just

122
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 3: show you real quick the place he stayed at, because

123
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 3: it's actually pretty dope. It's called a skycave in Oregon.

124
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 3: There are some of the pictures. Kevin Wilds had a

125
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 3: great tweet saying, I went from this is incredibly weird

126
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 3: to do you have any availability after three days? On

127
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 3: the website Now it doesn't look like he made it

128
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 3: the full four days, but such as life, Hi, there's

129
00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 3: a lot of stuff going on. The room he was

130
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 3: in was evan three hundred square feet with a meditation area,

131
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 3: a queen size bed, a bathroom when they brought him food,

132
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 3: but it was total, complete darkness.

133
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 4: To be with your own thoughts, all right.

134
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes, Kirk Cousins, and Marcus Mariota gonna be in

135
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 3: a Netflix show And this picture a photoshop thanks to

136
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 3: points bet of Luka Doncic.

137
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 4: With long hair and a beard.

138
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 3: That I gotta say, does make him look a lot

139
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 3: like me, a lot like me. Yeah, I mean, it's

140
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 3: just the hair and the beard they gave him is

141
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 3: my hair and beard. So I don't know if points

142
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 3: Bet did that on purpose, but that is what happened here,

143
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 3: my large adult Slovenian son. He unfortunately, his schedule will

144
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 3: not allow him to fill in for you, as we

145
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 3: keep this a family operation. All right, let's get to

146
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 3: the actual show, demonse, Go ahead.

147
00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 4: All right.

148
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 5: So we obviously talked a lot of NFL yesterday. Yeah,

149
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 5: let's take a break from the riveting Derek Carr sweepstakes

150
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 5: to finally get to some NBA.

151
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 4: Yeah.

152
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 5: Magic Johnson said that nobody wants to see the Lakers

153
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 5: in the playoffs, including the Lakers, to be honest. Okay,

154
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 5: a few days ago, Lebron said the next twenty three

155
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 5: games are the most important of his career, of.

156
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 3: His regular season career, that is what he said. He's

157
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 3: not including the playoffs, and we're here to start the pot.

158
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 4: Go ahead, Yeah, go ahead.

159
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 5: He got banged up in the All Star Game, but

160
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 5: as we know, he's indestructible.

161
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 4: He's gonna be fine.

162
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, are we about to see the best Lebron? We've

163
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 5: ever seen or is his team.

164
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 3: Toast, Well, we're definitely not suit pardon me, seeing the

165
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 3: best Lebron we've ever seen. That ship is sale. There

166
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 3: was and we can start the clock. There was a

167
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 3: point in time that the twenty what would it have

168
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:54,679
Speaker 3: been thirteen Miami Heat, the team that won their second

169
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 3: straight title, the Ray Allen year, the team that had

170
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 3: twenty seven game winning streak, the year that Lebron was

171
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 3: one vote away from being unanimous MVP and also should

172
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 3: have won Defensive Player of the Year. That was This

173
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 3: is one of those things that just kills me because

174
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 3: the guys who have won MVP and Defensive Player of

175
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 3: the Year, it's Jordan Akeem Giannis, Lebron not on that list.

176
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,079
Speaker 3: And the guy who won Defensive Player of the Year

177
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 3: that year, Mark Gasol, was not even first team All Defense,

178
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 3: so he won Defensive Player of the Year, but when

179
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 3: they voted for the all defensive teams, he wasn't the

180
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 3: starting center, and in fact, he tied for second team

181
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 3: All Defense.

182
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 4: He almost was third team, which doesn't even exist.

183
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 5: But so it'd be crazy.

184
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 4: It's bizarre.

185
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 3: It's almost like voters some of them had a little,

186
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 3: you know, grudge against Lebron, But that's neither here or there.

187
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 3: That year, not only was Lebron basically sixty percent from

188
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 3: the field as a perimeter player, Zach Low had an

189
00:09:55,520 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 3: amazing article about how some NBA team had developed a

190
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:02,719
Speaker 3: computer program that.

191
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 4: Could overlay.

192
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 3: On the court and have instead of like so you

193
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 3: would be watching the game and then they would have

194
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:18,839
Speaker 3: ghost avatars essentially playing defense, and it would show you

195
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 3: where the perfect defensive positioning was, where you should go

196
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 3: when the ball moves, so you could judge how good

197
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 3: your defenders are. Okay, and that that team, the person

198
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 3: who ran that program set for him said, when we

199
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 3: do it with Miami Heat games, Lebron beats the ghost

200
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 3: to the spot. That whatever program they had made, Lebron

201
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 3: got there faster than what the algorithm said the perfect

202
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 3: defender could get there.

203
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 4: That was peak Lebron.

204
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 3: Peak Lebron was the best athlete in the league, the

205
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 3: most unstopable offensive force in the league, and the most

206
00:10:55,440 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 3: destructive defensive player in the league. That player is long gone.

207
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:06,959
Speaker 3: Now what we get from Lebron is a top eight

208
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,839
Speaker 3: ish guy in the league who can still control a

209
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 3: game offensively and has to really pick his spots defensively,

210
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 3: like four minutes left in a close game. I still

211
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 3: think he's one of the best defenders in basketball. Over

212
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 3: the course of an entire game, he's an average defender.

213
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 3: That's where age is caught up to him. Okay, so

214
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 3: that's the Lebron part of it. Now, are the Lakers

215
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 3: topes They might be. A lot of that has to

216
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 3: do with Anthony Davis. Lebron can't suffer another injury. But

217
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 3: here's what is so frustrating, and here's what I talked

218
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 3: about on TV yesterday.

219
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 5: A bit.

220
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 3: Lebron has played forty five games this year. Okay, he's

221
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 3: played about seventy five percent of his team's games. The

222
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:57,719
Speaker 3: Lakers are five games under five hundred. Steph Curry has

223
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 3: played thirty nine games. The Warriors are at five hundred.

224
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 3: Durant has played thirty eight games. The Nets are ten

225
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 3: over five hundred. Kawhi has and I know he's on

226
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 3: the Nets anymore, but that's the team he was with.

227
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:16,559
Speaker 3: Kawhi has played thirty thirty four games. The Clippers are

228
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 3: five or six games above five hundred. The fact that

229
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:24,119
Speaker 3: the Lakers have not been able to field a competent

230
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 3: team when Lebron's either sits or misses a game is

231
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 3: all on the front office, and the concern a lot

232
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 3: of us had when they went into the season with

233
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 3: Russ was you might dig yourself too big of a hole.

234
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 3: First twelve games, the Lakers were two to ten. Since

235
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 3: then they're twenty five and twenty two, which that win

236
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:49,439
Speaker 3: percentage would.

237
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 4: Be the five seed.

238
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 3: But you started off so terribly that you are now

239
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:57,559
Speaker 3: you have to dig yourself out of a hole and

240
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 3: then play single elimination play so they have. It is

241
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 3: a massive uphill climb and it starts tonight with a

242
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 3: game against the Warriors. With that said, I don't think

243
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 3: Denver wants to see him in Round one. If the

244
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 3: Lakers end up the nine seed and get into the

245
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 3: playing get into the playoffs as the eight seed, they

246
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 3: win a couple playing games.

247
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 4: Denver win.

248
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,079
Speaker 3: Denver the best they've ever done in the postseason with

249
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 3: Yokic just make a conference finals and Anthony Davis severely

250
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 3: outplayed him. And that was a Denver team that was

251
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 3: fully healthy. That is a team that I so. I

252
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 3: think it's a weird spot because the Lakers and I

253
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,319
Speaker 3: got to see them play with Lebron and all these

254
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 3: new pieces, they could be dangerous.

255
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 5: And I suppose this all a ploy to come at Jokic.

256
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 3: No, it's just Denver's the one seed and if you're

257
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,199
Speaker 3: the Niner the ten the highest you can get is

258
00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 3: the eight seed.

259
00:13:58,160 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 4: Well, who's the two seed right now?

260
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,239
Speaker 3: I don't think Memphis would be thrilled with the Lakers

261
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 3: making the postseason. I like, let's just look at who

262
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 3: the other teams could be and let's just be honest here. So, yeah,

263
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 3: Memphis is going to be the two, Sacramentos the three.

264
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 3: So right now, seven through thirteen is the following New Orleans, Minnesota,

265
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 3: Golden State, ok See, and then eleven through thirteen Utah, Portland.

266
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 3: The Lakers, Denver, and Memphis are rooting to play anyone

267
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 3: in the first round other than the Lakers or the Warriors.

268
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 3: The Warriors with Steph back would be terrifying in round one,

269
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 3: and the Lakers because the Lebron and ad I don't

270
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 3: care what Minnesota's record is. You would way rather play Minnesota. Yeah,

271
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 3: New Orleans because it looks like Zion's done for the year.

272
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 3: Maybe New Orleans with Zion would be petrifying, but without him,

273
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 3: they ca can't win games. So for Memphis or Denver,

274
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 3: neither of Boom have won anything.

275
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 4: You are not.

276
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 3: Rooting to play the Lakers or the Warriors in round one?

277
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 3: All right, go ahead, next?

278
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 4: All right?

279
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 5: Everyone is talking about the other Lebron James this week.

280
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 5: This is crazy what whereabouts possibility? Yeah, because in ESPN

281
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 5: mock draft had Bronni going into the top ten in

282
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 5: twenty twenty four. Ron has already said he wants to

283
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 5: finish his career playing with Bronnie. What does this mean

284
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 5: for the twenty twenty four Lebron's Bronnie Sweepstakes?

285
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 3: Okay, so this is fascinating on a million levels. The

286
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 3: first one is this Jonathan Gavoni wrote this, and Jonathan Gavoni.

287
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 4: Is great at this specific thing, like.

288
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 3: Is analysis of the high school player, the young college

289
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 3: player and where they fit in the draft. When I

290
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 3: saw they had Bronnie at ten, I was like, Oh,

291
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 3: they're saying he's saying he's gonna get way overdrafted because

292
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 3: Lebron's going to sign up to play with him. That

293
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 3: was not the analysis. The analysis was that Bronnie, independent

294
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 3: of Lebron, could be the tenth pick of this draft,

295
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 3: of the.

296
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 4: A draft a year from now. That's wild.

297
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 3: That is a testament to what the young man's done.

298
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 3: And at six to two, it's crazy.

299
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 5: It seems like the best defender.

300
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 3: They said, his defense is amazing. His instincts are amazing.

301
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 3: That part's not surprising. The way his body is filled out,

302
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 3: and his athleticism. It's not a good shooter, you know,

303
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 3: on the on at on that level as far as

304
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 3: you know, be a top ten pick. That's as big

305
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 3: as weakness. I think this is put is so fascinating

306
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 3: because I truly believe Lebron's initial I'm gonna sign with

307
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 3: whoever drafts Bron was Lebron's attempt to make sure Bronni

308
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 3: got drafted at all.

309
00:16:58,120 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 4: And we've talked about this before that.

310
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 3: The Knicks once upon a time signed j R. Smith's brother.

311
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 3: It's a you know, as a solid to JR. Now

312
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:10,160
Speaker 3: he didn't work out in the NBA, Chris, I'm sorry,

313
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 3: that was Chris Smith. Seth Curry kept getting chances because

314
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 3: of staph eventually turned himself into a really good player. Hell,

315
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 3: how many Onpo brothers are in the league, you know.

316
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:30,400
Speaker 3: And so the my thought process was Lebron was feeling

317
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 3: his feeling was, Bronni might not be right out of

318
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 3: college an NBA guy. But if I get a team

319
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 3: to invest a first round pick and a guaranteed contract

320
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,639
Speaker 3: in him, and then he gets to watch me work,

321
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 3: get that development, they the team has a vested interest,

322
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 3: and in succeeding three four years into it, he'll be

323
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 3: an NBA guy. But if Bronnie is a lottery pick

324
00:17:54,560 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 3: on his own merits, that then also changes this. What

325
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 3: if a terrible team takes it? What if Detroit drafts

326
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 3: Bronnie with the ninth pick, not because they want Lebron,

327
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:17,639
Speaker 3: but because Bronni they want Bronni? Does Lebron want to

328
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 3: then spend the last two years of his career on

329
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 3: an awful team. It's a really weird spot. It's a

330
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 3: really weird spot. It would be fascinating. And let me

331
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 3: ask you this.

332
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 4: If you were Bronni Okay.

333
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 3: And you were a lottery pick on your own merit,

334
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,640
Speaker 3: now this is not I'm getting drafted because of my dad.

335
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:53,879
Speaker 3: Would you want your dad to come play with you

336
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:58,440
Speaker 3: or would you not want it? Again, keep in mind,

337
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,160
Speaker 3: in this situation, your dad's the most famous player ever.

338
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 5: I think i'd want the chance to play against him.

339
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, or even not only that, like to not have

340
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 3: it seem like you're here because of it. Now, if

341
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:21,120
Speaker 3: you are here because of him, it's different. And so

342
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 3: I think it's a fascinating thing. I also think I

343
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:32,159
Speaker 3: gotta tell you, man, I am really really impressed with

344
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 3: how this kid has worked and how he's conducted himself.

345
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:44,120
Speaker 3: That rich, that famous, that much attention in LA has

346
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 3: never and again he's young, and a lot can happen.

347
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:50,920
Speaker 4: But and I hate to sound.

348
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 3: Cliche in the social media world, but in a social

349
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:57,639
Speaker 3: media world doesn't have any like oh boy, you know

350
00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:58,680
Speaker 3: what I mean, like the.

351
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:05,120
Speaker 4: I I think it is. I know we listen, we talked.

352
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 5: A couple of years ago. People were saying that like

353
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 5: Ronnie wouldn't.

354
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:13,400
Speaker 4: Was not even close brother over him. Well now, yeah,

355
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 4: but because his brother grew so much.

356
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 3: But six ' two in the NBA is a tough

357
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 3: putt and it is. It's wild. Said something really funny

358
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 3: on the TV show when we talking about the dunk contest,

359
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 3: which was Isaiah Ryder won a dunk contest in the

360
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 3: early nineties for the between the Like Legs dunk the

361
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,120
Speaker 3: East Bay Funk and that when that happened. We said

362
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,880
Speaker 3: that was the greatest dunk that's ever happened, and now

363
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 3: Lebron James Junior is doing it. But I I find

364
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:48,879
Speaker 3: this to be really fascinating.

365
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 4: And I do.

366
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 3: I I also don't want to overlook as you know,

367
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 3: this is a family enterprise and this you know, we

368
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 3: talk a lot about family on this show. That part

369
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 3: of the story of Lebron James, the not basketball player,

370
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 3: but like American dream story is, man, this guy got

371
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 3: with Savannah when they were both kids. They have stayed

372
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 3: together and they have raised what appears to be three

373
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 3: super well adjusted, hard working, sharp kids. And I mean

374
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 3: the littlest, the girl, Zuri, is a baby baby, which

375
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 3: just five. But my point is like, and that would

376
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:45,440
Speaker 3: be really really hard, man, really hard that that level

377
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 3: of fame and the kid who didn't earn the fame

378
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 3: and and has all the money, has all of that

379
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 3: to work hard is would be difficult, you know what

380
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 3: I mean, to be like why you know what I mean,

381
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 3: Like I am I'm a billionaire with doing nothing.

382
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:08,359
Speaker 4: Hey, you know what I mean? But you know the

383
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 4: and it is.

384
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,120
Speaker 3: It's a testament to them. It's something I'm really curious

385
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 3: to watch.

386
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:16,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, I mean it's it's a story no matter what.

387
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 4: All right next? Uh?

388
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 5: So Katie is now in Phoenix with part time Devin

389
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:26,399
Speaker 5: Booker and declining aging c P three ok Kyrie and

390
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 5: Luca have played two games together in the MAVs let

391
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:30,239
Speaker 5: up one hundred and twenty and a half points per

392
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 5: game in those losses.

393
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 4: Yah.

394
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 5: Did those big trades blow up in the faces of

395
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 5: the Suns and the MAVs?

396
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:36,680
Speaker 4: Oh? They absolutely could.

397
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:40,719
Speaker 3: The weird thing about KD is we found out today

398
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 3: he's playing to make his debut on Wednesday.

399
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 4: So he's not ready to play yet.

400
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 5: What's it's been three two weeks? No three?

401
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 4: He last played January eighth. Oh since the trade?

402
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 5: Oh?

403
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 4: Since the trade?

404
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 3: Yeah no, it's been a couple of weeks since the

405
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 3: trade in January January eight, not twenty eight. So he's

406
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 3: gonna play on March first. So it's gonna be almost

407
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:09,639
Speaker 3: a two month injury. I he had talked during the

408
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,159
Speaker 3: injury about how much he wanted to play in the

409
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:16,880
Speaker 3: All Star So I just assumed their first game is Friday.

410
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 3: I just assumed he was playing Friday.

411
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,199
Speaker 4: But they don't. They play Oklahoma City in.

412
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:25,919
Speaker 3: Phoenix on Friday, they play Milwaukee on National TV in

413
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 3: Milwaukee on Sunday, and then they play Wednesday. That's when

414
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:35,159
Speaker 3: he's gonna make his debut. I think the trade was

415
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:38,679
Speaker 3: a no brainer for the Suns. I think the trade

416
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 3: was very risky for the MAVs. But neither one or

417
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:47,640
Speaker 3: anywhere close to sure things. Neither one is anywhere close

418
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 3: to a sure thing. And for the MAVs, it's more

419
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 3: about it's about defense, and it's about is Kyrie gonna

420
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 3: burn the building? Now for the Suns, they're really to me,

421
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,120
Speaker 3: are not basketball questions. There are a lot of health

422
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 3: questions though that Chris Paul. The only player in the

423
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,200
Speaker 3: league older than Chris Paul that gets minutes is Lebron

424
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:14,640
Speaker 3: and Chris Paul.

425
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 4: I think he is, but.

426
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:18,719
Speaker 3: They're the only two guys in the league, uh, that

427
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:23,120
Speaker 3: are over thirty five that are playing real minutes. Yeah,

428
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 3: Lebron's older than Chris Paul by.

429
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 4: A few months.

430
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 5: Katie is injury he didn't seem to know was as

431
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 5: bad as it was.

432
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:34,120
Speaker 4: Dude, and Katie, listen, this sucks.

433
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:36,439
Speaker 5: Let's talk about how skinny is.

434
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 4: No, I'm just post Achilles.

435
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:42,359
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, he's been hurt a lot the I mean

436
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:44,679
Speaker 3: the and I understand guys don't play.

437
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 4: Guys don't play.

438
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,880
Speaker 3: Demont's computer's yelling at him. Guys don't play as many

439
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 3: games as they used to. I understand that. But here's

440
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 3: Kevin Durant's career games played. Okay, by season eighty seventy four,

441
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 3: eighty two, seventy eight, sixty six that was in a lockout.

442
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:06,879
Speaker 3: Year sixty six was how many games? The year was

443
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:10,679
Speaker 3: eighty one point eighty one, twenty seven. He broke his

444
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 3: foot in Oklahoma City at the Jones fracture seventy two,

445
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 3: sixty two, sixty eight, seventy eight achilles thirty five fifty five,

446
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:26,159
Speaker 3: thirty nine.

447
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 4: That's in the thirty nine. He's gonna play more. But

448
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:32,880
Speaker 4: t twenty nineteen.

449
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 3: Since since tearing his achilles, and think about how long

450
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 3: ago that feels, he has played one hundred and twenty

451
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 3: nine regular season games, and he's played in sixteen playoff games,

452
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 3: one hundred and forty five games total since tearing his

453
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 3: achilles in four seasons now, one season he missed entirely.

454
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:58,199
Speaker 3: That's concerning. And obviously the Chris Paul thing. We know

455
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 3: Chris Paul's history, so that is concerned as well. All right, next, all.

456
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 5: Right, Speaking of the Suns, they're the favorite to win

457
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,360
Speaker 5: the title, which means Chris Paul could finally get his ring.

458
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:09,880
Speaker 5: You could argue there are a few other big names

459
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 5: chasing the same goal, like your guy, joke It, Jokic

460
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,640
Speaker 5: and James Harden come to mind. Who do you think

461
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 5: is under the most pressure to get a ring this year?

462
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 4: Oh, it's without question, it's Jokic.

463
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 5: It has to be you.

464
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 3: No, because Harden is no, not the best player on

465
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:34,680
Speaker 3: his own team. Harden's team is not the one seed. Harden,

466
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:36,919
Speaker 3: I think people look at it is in a slightly

467
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 3: different phase of his career.

468
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 4: He's under a lot of pressure. Go ahead.

469
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 5: So, I mean, so he had those playoff runs with

470
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:46,360
Speaker 5: the rockets. He was he was, he was the best player. Yeah,

471
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 5: So you don't think since he didn't get them, then

472
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 5: there's no pressure for him.

473
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 4: No, I think that, Listen. I think her.

474
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 3: I think Harden's top five. I think you know what

475
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 3: I mean. I think he. I think Harden's under Embad's

476
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 3: never been to a conference finals, bringing the NBA finals,

477
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,120
Speaker 3: Harden and beat have a ton of pressure. I think

478
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 3: Luke and Kyrie of a ton of pressure. I think

479
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 3: there's new pressure on Durant, but because he's on such

480
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 3: a good team there, I think there's sneaky pressure on Tatum. Yeah,

481
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 3: made the finals last year. Everyone was like, like Tatum,

482
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 3: I thought was gonna get in the conversation of like

483
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 3: is he the best player in the league. People won't

484
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 3: seem to be having that conversation, you know what I mean,

485
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:27,160
Speaker 3: like the But there is no one under more pressure

486
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 3: than Yoki Yo Kic.

487
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 4: It would appear as gonna win his third straight MVP.

488
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's minus money minus huge one five MVP.

489
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 4: So for you three straight.

490
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 3: The guys who have three MVPs at any point in

491
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:45,879
Speaker 3: their career, this is, I think, blow your mind. So

492
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 3: it is Wilt Russell, Kareem, Moses, Bird, Magic, Lebron. There's

493
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:03,880
Speaker 3: some I'm obviously leaving out. Oh did I not say MJ.

494
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:08,160
Speaker 3: I don't think I said MJ, MJ. So there's the eight,

495
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,639
Speaker 3: those eight guys. How many championships do you think they

496
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:15,119
Speaker 3: have between them?

497
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:23,160
Speaker 4: A lot? Give it a guess. Thirty eight, yeah, thirty eight?

498
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 4: They have three times crazy.

499
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, the numbers are this, Moses has won, Bird has three,

500
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 3: Lebron has four, Magic has five, uh, Wilt has two,

501
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 3: Kareem has six, Jordan has six.

502
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 4: Russell has eleven. So even if you take Russell out.

503
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 5: Of Sorry about that, guest, guys, that was really bad.

504
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 4: No, no, no, that's alright. It is so bad. No, that's

505
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 4: all right.

506
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 3: They average a little over four and a half championships each. Okay,

507
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 3: we go to two time MVPs. There are three two

508
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 3: time MVPs if we do all the truth, No, just

509
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 3: just have won two. Ever, it's those eight guys plus

510
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 3: got dog it, Bob Pettitt, Steve Nash, Yeah, but I

511
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 3: have to go chronologically or else I won't. Bob Pettitt,

512
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 3: Karl Malone, Steve Nash, Duncan, Jannie, Steph Jokic.

513
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 4: Those are those are those guys.

514
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 3: All of them have at least one championship except Steve Nash,

515
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 3: Karl Malone and Jokic.

516
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 4: You can't.

517
00:29:56,120 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 3: I know, nick Y yogis nick you can change the

518
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 3: rules on everything for him. And there was massive pressure

519
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 3: on Giannis to get it done in the postseason once

520
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 3: he won his second MVP, and then he did. There

521
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 3: there have been Matt there's Carl Malone got labeled a

522
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 3: Choker in the playoffs because he lost to Michael Jordan,

523
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 3: and back to back years in the finals, Steve Nash

524
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:32,479
Speaker 3: stopped being considered an MVP candidate because his team couldn't

525
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 3: get to the finals. None of those guys won three

526
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 3: in a row. None of those guys that I just

527
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 3: mentioned one have won three at all. If he's gonna

528
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 3: win his third straight MVP with the one seed, that

529
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 3: this is the part that kills me about the voters.

530
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 3: The voters also, a lot of them are talking had

531
00:30:56,280 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 3: folks or writers and they make predictions. None of them,

532
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 3: I shouldn't say none, very few are picking the Nuggets

533
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 3: to win the title.

534
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 4: Why not?

535
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 3: The West is wide open, they have the best player,

536
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 3: they have home court. Shouldn't they be the title pick?

537
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 3: Unless you actually, deep down don't think he's the best player,

538
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 3: in which case, stop giving him the MVP every year.

539
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 3: It's the answers Jokic, and if I have to single

540
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 3: handedly be the one to up that pressure, I'll do it.

541
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 4: We'll take a quick break.

542
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 6: What's right, Hey there, Ryan Reynolds here, it's a new year,

543
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 6: and you know what that means. No, not the diet resolutions,

544
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 6: a way for us all to try and do a

545
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 6: little bit better than we did last year. And my resolution,

546
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 6: unlike big wireless, is to not be a raging and

547
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 6: raise the price of wireless on you every chance I get.

00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 5: All right, demon's let's get right to it, all right,

554
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 5: without the NFL to gamble on getting a little answer.

555
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:18,720
Speaker 5: I know you are, but thankfully we've got the NBA.

556
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 5: So let's put some bets on the table between MVP

557
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:26,480
Speaker 5: conference or title winners. Yeah, let's lock in some futures here.

558
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 3: Okay, So the MVP odds are that they're showing me?

559
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 3: Are Is Jokic minus two seventy five? Embiid five to one,

560
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 3: Giannis six to one, Luca twelve to one, Tatum fourteen

561
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 3: to one, Lebron sixty six to one.

562
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 5: I think money's on Tatum. So I think they're gonna

563
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 5: win the finals, but they're gonna go to the I

564
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:52,719
Speaker 5: know it's preest like regular season.

565
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean they vote on it when this regular

566
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 4: season's over.

567
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 5: So that's take that back, Yeah, I take that back

568
00:32:58,080 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 5: that Tate.

569
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 3: You could bet Tatum to win Finals MVP if you

570
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:03,959
Speaker 3: could find those odds. Yeah, that'd be better odds than

571
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 3: you'd get to It's like Celtics to win the title,

572
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 3: but you'd get better odds than that.

573
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 4: Listen, I'm resigned to the fact that Joki is probably

574
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 4: gonna win this award.

575
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 3: However, minus two seventy five is way too much to bet.

576
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 3: So Jokic at plus two to seventy and minus two

577
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 3: seventy five is not good value. Joel Embiid over the list.

578
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 3: So Joel Embiid has finished back to back second in

579
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 3: MVP voting. The Sixers over the last forty games have

580
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 3: I think the best record in basketball. They have a

581
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 3: very tough schedule down the stretch. However, Embiid's numbers this year,

582
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 3: He's averaging thirty three, ten and four on fifty four

583
00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 3: percent shooting and eighty six percent from the line with

584
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 3: all world caliber defense. Embid at five to one.

585
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 5: Sounds great, especially considering that my eyebrow raise when you

586
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:14,359
Speaker 5: said the back to back snubs the runner up. Yeah,

587
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 5: and Jokic is I don't think Jokic it can get

588
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:18,399
Speaker 5: at thirty get three in a row.

589
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 3: Well, listen, not if I have anything to say about it,

590
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:23,880
Speaker 3: but but I'm not so listen. I think Jokic is

591
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 3: probably gonna win. But embid at five to one to

592
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 3: me as value all right? In the East? Uh, the

593
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 3: Celtics are plus one fifteen, the Bucks are plus two

594
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 3: to twenty five. The Sixers are plus five point fifty.

595
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 3: None of the other teams matter, right, The Calves aren't

596
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,759
Speaker 3: ready yet. I respect the heat, They're not gonna win.

597
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:47,640
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go along the same lines there. Five and

598
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:51,239
Speaker 3: a half to one on the Sixers, to me, there

599
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:52,359
Speaker 3: is value there.

600
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:53,359
Speaker 4: They were my.

601
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:57,320
Speaker 3: Preseason pick, and I'm not gonna act like I feel

602
00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 3: great about it. But with Yanni's banged up a bit,

603
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 3: here would be my real question for Philly. It's probably

604
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:10,839
Speaker 3: not gonna happen, but could Philly. They're three games back

605
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:13,959
Speaker 3: of Boston for the one seed, two and a half

606
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 3: game back of Milwaukee.

607
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:18,640
Speaker 4: Can Philly move up to the one line.

608
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:23,799
Speaker 3: The reason Boston right now is such a heavy favorite

609
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:29,240
Speaker 3: is because with Giannis injuring his wrist and then currently

610
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:30,240
Speaker 3: being the one seed.

611
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:31,719
Speaker 4: The value of.

612
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 3: Philly, Milwaukee, Boston being the one seed is to make

613
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:40,759
Speaker 3: the finals, you only got to beat one of the

614
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,760
Speaker 3: other three. If you're the two or the three seed,

615
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 3: you gotta beat them both. So it's a huge difference there.

616
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 3: But Philly at five and a half to one, I

617
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 3: don't hate out West, the Sundrad two to one.

618
00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:58,920
Speaker 4: We'll go ahead, go ahead.

619
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 5: You said, Phi, Sorry, No, is it philiate five and

620
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:03,280
Speaker 5: a half to one? I was confused.

621
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what they are.

622
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 3: Philly's five and a half to one to win the East,

623
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 3: I'm saying, I think there's decent value there.

624
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 4: Oh okay, So out West.

625
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:13,399
Speaker 3: The Suns are two to one, the Nuggets are three

626
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:18,000
Speaker 3: to one, the Clippers are five to one, the Warriors

627
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:20,360
Speaker 3: seven and a half to one, the MAVs eight and

628
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:23,759
Speaker 3: a half to one, the Grizzlies all the way down

629
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 3: at eight and a half to one, the Pelicans and

630
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 3: the Lakers at eighteen to one.

631
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:30,279
Speaker 4: Fine in the West, though, what'd you say?

632
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 5: Nothing?

633
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:32,720
Speaker 4: Oh about job that will find in the West.

634
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:41,839
Speaker 3: Uh, I'd like to say the MAVs, I don't think

635
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:44,520
Speaker 3: you can win three straight rounds in the playoffs with

636
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 3: the defense that they have, So.

637
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:47,959
Speaker 4: I'm very worried about them.

638
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:53,960
Speaker 3: The Warriors to me, are a sucker bet. It would

639
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 3: be shocking if the Suns don't win the West to me,

640
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:01,239
Speaker 3: now if they get hurt and you're not getting great

641
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:06,360
Speaker 3: odds there, if they get hurt, there's a real level

642
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 3: of concern. Yeah, but I don't believe in the Nuggets

643
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:12,720
Speaker 3: in the playoffs. I don't believe in the Clippers' ability

644
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:13,520
Speaker 3: to stay healthy.

645
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:17,719
Speaker 5: I believe in Curry. I'd go with the seventy five

646
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:21,279
Speaker 5: to one, not half seven, A half to one. Yeah,

647
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 5: the Warriors come out of the West.

648
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:27,879
Speaker 4: Wow, that's interesting. I'm worried about the Warriors, Like.

649
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:31,400
Speaker 3: I mean, it's very very hard if you they're gonna

650
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:34,120
Speaker 3: be like the seventh seed to you know what I mean.

651
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:36,239
Speaker 3: On the way they've been so bad on the road

652
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:39,439
Speaker 3: this year. Now you're starting every playoff series on the road.

653
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 3: That would concern me. I think the Sons are the

654
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:46,840
Speaker 3: bet there, uh title Celtics three to one, Sons and

655
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:51,480
Speaker 3: Bucks four to one, Nuggets seven to one, Clippers ten

656
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:53,759
Speaker 3: to one, Warriors twelve to one, Maps sixteen to one,

657
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 3: Lakers thirty.

658
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:54,960
Speaker 4: Three to one.

659
00:37:57,320 --> 00:38:05,240
Speaker 3: If I worry about Chris Paul's ability to be healthy

660
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 3: for four rounds. As far as value there, I think

661
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:14,000
Speaker 3: the Bucks. I think if you can get the team

662
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 3: with the best player at four to one, I think

663
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 3: that's real value. Where are you thinking on this? Curry again,

664
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:24,440
Speaker 3: the Warriors again, or the Celtics.

665
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 5: The Celtics.

666
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:26,719
Speaker 4: It's just not enough. I know.

667
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 5: It's not the value.

668
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just the You're just.

669
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 5: It's valuable when you feel like you know they're gonna win. Though.

670
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 3: Well listen, they say, you know, losing bets have no value,

671
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:40,920
Speaker 3: so they if they win, there is some value. I

672
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:42,879
Speaker 3: just feel like it should be a little better. All right,

673
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:44,359
Speaker 3: Let's go to our game.

674
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:45,120
Speaker 4: Moving the needle.

675
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:48,319
Speaker 5: All right, So, in case folks haven't been dialed into

676
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:51,839
Speaker 5: the NBA, tell me what direction the needle is going

677
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 5: for the following teams. Yeah, we've got like a little

678
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:54,840
Speaker 5: graphic up there for you.

679
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:58,440
Speaker 3: So the graphic for the audience is from worst to

680
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:04,360
Speaker 3: best five Beverly's tank for wimby a play in team

681
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:10,839
Speaker 3: one and done second round at best championship or dynasty.

682
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:16,040
Speaker 3: Now our producers instead of you know, evidently we only

683
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 3: had room for seven spots on here, and they thought

684
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:23,600
Speaker 3: it was more valuable to include Dynasty and five pat

685
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:28,880
Speaker 3: BEVs rather than have somewhere in between second round or championship.

686
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna have to adjust that on the fly,

687
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:33,600
Speaker 3: But go ahead, all right.

688
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 4: First off, we got the Warriors.

689
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:37,879
Speaker 5: Steph Curry is making progress, but it's going to miss

690
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:40,800
Speaker 5: at least another week. Everyone assumes they'll turn it on eventually,

691
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:43,400
Speaker 5: because you know, they're the Warriors, but they're sixty games.

692
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:46,319
Speaker 5: They're fighting the thunder for a play in spot. Where

693
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 5: is the Warriors needle movie?

694
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:52,880
Speaker 3: Oh listen, I think they're going to be a play

695
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:57,239
Speaker 3: in team, But I yeah, I think they're gonna be

696
00:39:57,280 --> 00:40:00,960
Speaker 3: a play in team that will will have a chance

697
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,880
Speaker 3: at winning a round. So a play in team that

698
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:06,960
Speaker 3: is also second round at best, does that make sense?

699
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:10,839
Speaker 3: I think they're gonna land in the play in and

700
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 3: then they could win that first round of the playoffs.

701
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:14,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, that that I think.

702
00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 3: But also let's keep in mind that we have seen

703
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:20,880
Speaker 3: the Warriors be in the play in and get knocked

704
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 3: out with Steph Lebron hit a three in his eye

705
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 3: to beat him in the first game, and then job

706
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:27,080
Speaker 3: beat him in the second game.

707
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:29,960
Speaker 4: Next, next off, we got the Celts.

708
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:33,440
Speaker 5: Celtics didn't make much noise the deadline, but arguably are

709
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:36,320
Speaker 5: the scariest team in the league. I second that Tatum

710
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 5: is fresh off in All Star Game MVP and Jalen

711
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:43,120
Speaker 5: Brown made an appearance as well. Where's the Celtics needle movie?

712
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:49,480
Speaker 3: So demonte says championship. This is where I would say

713
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:53,640
Speaker 3: we need something between second round and championship. To me,

714
00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:57,879
Speaker 3: they're an Eastern Conference finals team, and I think that

715
00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:02,279
Speaker 3: either Philly or Milwalk if either of those teams at

716
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:05,320
Speaker 3: full strength, I don't think they would have an answer

717
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:07,240
Speaker 3: on the inside for Embead or Yannis.

718
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:09,239
Speaker 4: They didn't last year the.

719
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:10,959
Speaker 5: Time or wouldn't really, wouldn't really act.

720
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:13,319
Speaker 4: You love time, Lord, all right? Next us?

721
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:15,959
Speaker 5: Next we got the Bucks. You never discount the Bucks

722
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:18,279
Speaker 5: as long as they have Giannis, But now the Greek

723
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:22,000
Speaker 5: freak is dealing with hand injuries unfortunately, and Chris Middleton

724
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:25,360
Speaker 5: still is fighting his injuries. Geez dude, where's the Bucks

725
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:25,960
Speaker 5: needle movie?

726
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:27,560
Speaker 4: Again?

727
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:29,920
Speaker 3: I picked the Sixers to win the East beginning of

728
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:34,400
Speaker 3: the year, so I can't move off it, but feels

729
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:36,440
Speaker 3: like Yannis should probably win the title again.

730
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:41,719
Speaker 4: I think they would have ramshackled the Warriors in the

731
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:46,319
Speaker 4: finals if they had gotten there last year. And I

732
00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:50,040
Speaker 4: don't love the roster. The Middleton thing scares me. But

733
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 4: Yannis is going to go down as one of the

734
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:54,799
Speaker 4: twelve greatest players ever.

735
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:58,640
Speaker 3: And this is the time for him to start racking

736
00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 3: up titles. And I, you know, in a fair not

737
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:06,279
Speaker 3: a dynasty. I'm not saying a dynasty because I don't

738
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:10,400
Speaker 3: think they have the overall roster for that. But I

739
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:14,239
Speaker 3: think that they they should feel like they are championship

740
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:14,720
Speaker 3: or bust.

741
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:19,360
Speaker 5: Next my guy Grizzlies John Morana. City's fine in the West,

742
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 5: but the Grizzlies have lost nine of their last thirteen games.

743
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:26,840
Speaker 4: Where's the Grizzlies needle moving? You know?

744
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:30,319
Speaker 3: I think they absolutely could be one and done. I

745
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:33,440
Speaker 3: think that I think the Grizzlies are.

746
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 5: Not ready for the postseason. I just don't think that

747
00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:36,480
Speaker 5: they're built for it.

748
00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:41,040
Speaker 3: I don't like how much talking they've done. I think

749
00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:42,920
Speaker 3: that it might be good for them to have a

750
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:46,239
Speaker 3: bit of a humbling. They also haven't been the same

751
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:51,640
Speaker 3: team since the stuff was Shannon. They just haven't You

752
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:54,120
Speaker 3: can call that coincidental but they just haven't been. And

753
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:58,760
Speaker 3: then there was that crazy story about the Placers team

754
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:03,080
Speaker 3: boss and the oh yeah yeah to me, this is

755
00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:06,680
Speaker 3: a team that kind of believed its own headlines a

756
00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:10,080
Speaker 3: little bit too much, too quickly and has a humbling

757
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:10,759
Speaker 3: coming to him.

758
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 5: Ever since Dylan Brooks called Shannon Sharp a casual or

759
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:14,840
Speaker 5: a pedestrian.

760
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:20,400
Speaker 8: Yeah well, all right, next, all right, so next Cvilion

761
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:26,160
Speaker 8: the civilian. Yeah, Clippers, as you predicted, Russell Wilson was traded.

762
00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:30,400
Speaker 5: Russell Wilson, Sorry, guys, Russell Westbrook was traded after a

763
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 5: bio he is officially an LA Clipper. Where's the Clippers?

764
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:34,120
Speaker 5: Needle moving?

765
00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:40,520
Speaker 3: The second rounded best the you just this team is

766
00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:42,800
Speaker 3: not going to be able to stay healthy for six weeks.

767
00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:49,160
Speaker 3: Kawhi can't listen. I feel terribly for Kawhi, but the

768
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:54,080
Speaker 3: guy's body won't allow for him to play consistently and

769
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:56,640
Speaker 3: the rust thing is a disaster.

770
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, he can't be a part of winning basketball.

771
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:07,640
Speaker 5: The Clippers somehow come out of the West wow, and

772
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:10,880
Speaker 5: go like if that means somebody else don't making I

773
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:13,239
Speaker 5: really want the Clippers. I don't think that they will,

774
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:15,800
Speaker 5: but I would love if they like spitefully won listen

775
00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:18,640
Speaker 5: just because of how Westbrook has been done all the players.

776
00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:21,840
Speaker 5: I feel like Pg's always gotten bs from everybody.

777
00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:25,920
Speaker 3: That's all fair, But they have a major health concerning

778
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:29,640
Speaker 3: Kawhi and I. Russ was once upon a time one

779
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:34,120
Speaker 3: of my favorite players in the league. He's broken. Well,

780
00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:35,160
Speaker 3: he's still in LA.

781
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:38,240
Speaker 4: The Lakers.

782
00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:41,879
Speaker 3: He's broken as a bat. He can't be a part

783
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:45,080
Speaker 3: of winning basketball. He just can't be sorry. I I

784
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:50,080
Speaker 3: I don't understand why the Clippers made that move, and

785
00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:52,120
Speaker 3: I think they're second round at best. I don't think

786
00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:53,120
Speaker 3: he helps them next.

787
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 4: All right, So I got the Bulls here.

788
00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:57,359
Speaker 5: Lonzo is out for the season in Chicago, so they

789
00:44:57,360 --> 00:45:01,839
Speaker 5: brought in a savior at point guard, Patrick Beverley. It's

790
00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:04,640
Speaker 5: a new goal to knock the Lakers out of the playoffs.

791
00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:07,719
Speaker 5: Good news, Bulls fans. Where's the Bulls needle moving?

792
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:12,959
Speaker 3: They should totally turn the ship around, try to tank

793
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:17,200
Speaker 3: for Windy. So they their first round pick this year

794
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:22,239
Speaker 3: goes to Orlando unless it's in the top four. So

795
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:25,440
Speaker 3: they desperately need it to be in the top four.

796
00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:27,400
Speaker 3: And we haven't talked about it.

797
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:29,000
Speaker 5: I know I could do that.

798
00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:32,440
Speaker 3: What protect picks Yeah, that's how a lot of these

799
00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:36,200
Speaker 3: trades work. So it's like, we will trade you our

800
00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:38,560
Speaker 3: first rounder, but it's lottery.

801
00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:42,880
Speaker 4: So's the way. Sometimes it hit eleven lottery protected.

802
00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:45,080
Speaker 3: And then if we don't if you don't get it,

803
00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:49,480
Speaker 3: then the next year it's top eight protected. And then

804
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 3: if the next year you still don't get it, the

805
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:53,879
Speaker 3: next year it's top three protected, and then it's unprotected.

806
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:55,440
Speaker 3: You know what, I can do these types of things.

807
00:45:55,760 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 3: The Lakers in the trade where they got off Us,

808
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:02,840
Speaker 3: they traded Utah their twenty twenty seven first round or

809
00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:07,719
Speaker 3: top four protected, and if it is in the top four,

810
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:11,080
Speaker 3: it just turns into a second round pick. So the

811
00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:16,480
Speaker 3: so that's them between unprotected picks protected picks because teams

812
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:19,520
Speaker 3: are afraid that they're gonna lose out win a lottery

813
00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:21,400
Speaker 3: and lose out on a Wimby or something in one

814
00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:27,640
Speaker 3: of the steals. That's why, like when the Suns traded

815
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:31,560
Speaker 3: for Durant, all those picks are unprotected. So if Chris

816
00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:34,560
Speaker 3: Paul retires and Durant gets fickle and leaves and whatever,

817
00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:36,319
Speaker 3: it's like, oh, that could be really bad for him.

818
00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:39,800
Speaker 3: That's how your Celtics got Brown and Tatum they traded

819
00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:43,840
Speaker 3: KG and Pierce to the Nets and got unprotected picks.

820
00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:45,359
Speaker 4: The Nets are like.

821
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:48,680
Speaker 3: Who cares, We're gonna be awesome. The Nets at the time,

822
00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:53,799
Speaker 3: we're owned by this Russian oligar to Kail Prokoff, and

823
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:57,160
Speaker 3: he was spending all this money and then like something happened,

824
00:46:57,200 --> 00:47:00,960
Speaker 3: like to his actual industry like oil or copper or

825
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:03,160
Speaker 3: whatever he had. He's like, I don't want to spend

826
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:05,600
Speaker 3: his money on this team anymore. Get rid of all

827
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:08,719
Speaker 3: the players. So they were terrible and they didn't have

828
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:10,520
Speaker 3: their own picks, and they went to Boston. You guys

829
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:15,600
Speaker 3: got Brown and Tatum out of it. It's pretty unbelievable. Yeah,

830
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:17,920
Speaker 3: that's all, so the Bulls should try to get a

831
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:21,520
Speaker 3: top four pick. The other thing is this Lonzo's career

832
00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:24,040
Speaker 3: might be over. It's really sad.

833
00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:25,720
Speaker 4: Man. I'm glad he got paid.

834
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:29,120
Speaker 3: He got the four years eighty million, so good for him,

835
00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:32,560
Speaker 3: but he is a degenerative knee issue and his career

836
00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:35,600
Speaker 3: might be over. It's really sad. All right, your questions

837
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:36,760
Speaker 3: in your comments next?

838
00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:37,279

Speaker 5: All right, bravo Sierra seven double O seven. Sorry, buddy,

852
00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:26,920
Speaker 5: do you have any hilarious pheel help you stories?

853
00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:33,319
Speaker 3: I mean the the fact that after we played for

854
00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:37,560
Speaker 3: six hours and he coolered me in the last hand

855
00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:43,399
Speaker 3: out of fifty thousand dollars, he then suggested we all

856
00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:47,359
Speaker 3: go to dinner together, and then he just rehashed the

857
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:52,360
Speaker 3: mistakes I made, totally like not aware of how painful

858
00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:58,080
Speaker 3: it was for me. Was you know, I guess somewhat hilarious.

859
00:48:58,320 --> 00:48:59,439
Speaker 4: He's not a bad guy.

860
00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:04,360
Speaker 3: He's not like as socially aware as I think a

861
00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:05,600
Speaker 3: lot of other people are.

862
00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:08,799
Speaker 4: But he's not. He means well and his heart's in

863
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:13,959
Speaker 4: the right place. He's just like a different type of cat.

864
00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:15,919
Speaker 5: It's like almost like a speck.

865
00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:20,480
Speaker 3: He's just he's a different He's a different type of cat.

866
00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:23,840
Speaker 4: Get is how I would put it. And listen, I

867
00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:26,719
Speaker 4: mean he mother fed me up and down.

868
00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:29,759
Speaker 3: On one hand that he misplayed, but everybody has seen

869
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:30,560
Speaker 3: that clip all right.

870
00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:33,400
Speaker 5: Next, Foach Mystic said, do you think Lebron and Bronny

871
00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:35,759
Speaker 5: are on the same bad team would be enough to

872
00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:36,600
Speaker 5: make them a contender?

873
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:36,759
Speaker 3: No?

874
00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:37,439
Speaker 4: Of course not.

875
00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:42,719
Speaker 3: No, no, no, like no, listen, Lebron the first of all,

876
00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:46,400
Speaker 3: Bronni no rookies help you with initially in the NBA

877
00:49:46,600 --> 00:49:47,240
Speaker 3: much less.

878
00:49:47,080 --> 00:49:50,719
Speaker 4: Than it's not like he's women Yama is.

879
00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:54,719
Speaker 3: So no, and Lebron is no longer. The difference between

880
00:49:54,800 --> 00:49:57,960
Speaker 3: Lebron where Lebron is in his career and where Giannie

881
00:49:58,080 --> 00:50:01,200
Speaker 3: is in his career is put Giannis on any team

882
00:50:01,239 --> 00:50:04,759
Speaker 3: in the league and they're a contender, right, not the favorite,

883
00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:07,640
Speaker 3: but a contender. Lebron's not that. He's showing you that

884
00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:10,400
Speaker 3: right now with the Lakers. He's not that player anymore.

885
00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:12,479
Speaker 3: He's in your twenty He's not that player.

886
00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:14,840
Speaker 4: Anymore. Next, all right, Kurt brawl.

887
00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:17,120
Speaker 5: He said, do you think that if Jokich loses in

888
00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:19,879
Speaker 5: the first round, people will finally realize that he isn't

889
00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:22,319
Speaker 5: the caliber of player the league is making him out

890
00:50:22,320 --> 00:50:22,480
Speaker 5: to be.

891
00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:27,560
Speaker 3: He lost in the first round last year. Two years ago,

892
00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:30,680
Speaker 3: he got swept in round two. Last year he lost

893
00:50:30,719 --> 00:50:31,239
Speaker 3: in round one.

894
00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:32,120
Speaker 4: Nobody cares.

895
00:50:32,560 --> 00:50:35,520
Speaker 3: Everybody dogs out his box score plus minus and his

896
00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:38,440
Speaker 3: field goal percentage. The dumbest shit I ever seen my

897
00:50:38,560 --> 00:50:40,040
Speaker 3: life watching the NBA.

898
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:42,280
Speaker 5: So we only care about stats when they come to Lebron.

899
00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:45,840
Speaker 3: No, it's again, and this is what is so frustrating.

900
00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:49,040
Speaker 3: Everyone's like, oh, Nick, you think Jokic sucks. No, I don't.

901
00:50:49,320 --> 00:50:52,680
Speaker 3: What I do think is this. I think Giannis is

902
00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:55,160
Speaker 3: better than him. I think Luke is better than him.

903
00:50:55,440 --> 00:50:57,960
Speaker 3: I think Kevin Durantz better than him. I think Steph

904
00:50:57,960 --> 00:51:00,800
Speaker 3: Curry's better than him. I think joellen bead and Jason

905
00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:04,480
Speaker 3: Tatum have very strong arguments. I think he is, at

906
00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:07,840
Speaker 3: best the fifth best player in the league, at worst

907
00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:09,080
Speaker 3: the seventh or eighth.

908
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:09,879
Speaker 4: Best player in the league.

909
00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:13,359
Speaker 3: I noticed I didn't say Lebron's better than him, because

910
00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:17,520
Speaker 3: Jokis plays every night and is available. All that stuff matters,

911
00:51:18,040 --> 00:51:24,680
Speaker 3: But we're treating him. We're giving him more credit than

912
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:29,680
Speaker 3: we gave Michael Jordan or Lebron in the regular season.

913
00:51:29,840 --> 00:51:31,680
Speaker 3: It's banana next.

914
00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:35,520
Speaker 5: All right, Clark never Nebreeze said would you would you

915
00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:38,080
Speaker 5: do the Kyrie for eighty trade? The Brussard mentioned on

916
00:51:38,120 --> 00:51:40,200
Speaker 5: the first thing on first things first.

917
00:51:40,040 --> 00:51:42,840
Speaker 3: Well, if I were the MAVs in a heartbeat, Anthony

918
00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:47,279
Speaker 3: Davis is the perfect teammate for Luca, Like the actual perfect.

919
00:51:46,960 --> 00:51:47,840
Speaker 4: Teammate for Luca.

920
00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:52,280
Speaker 3: If you go on a time machine, is a vintage

921
00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:58,399
Speaker 3: Kevin Garnett. That Diak the ball, amazing defender. Yeah, can

922
00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:02,240
Speaker 3: give you twenty anyway, Tim Dunk, you know what I mean. Uh,

923
00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:06,200
Speaker 3: A gig who doesn't need the ball will dominate on

924
00:52:06,239 --> 00:52:09,960
Speaker 3: the defensive end. So Anthony Davis checks a lot of

925
00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:12,759
Speaker 3: those similar boxes. The Lakers would be out of their

926
00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:15,080
Speaker 3: mind to do that. You might be able to get

927
00:52:15,120 --> 00:52:17,839
Speaker 3: Kyrie for nothing trade and bring all right?

928
00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:18,719
Speaker 4: Next? All right.

929
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:22,279
Speaker 5: Austin tap asked if Demondzi played an individual sport, what

930
00:52:22,440 --> 00:52:24,759
Speaker 5: sport would he be would he be best at?

931
00:52:24,840 --> 00:52:28,880
Speaker 3: So Demonde was a really really good basketball player, A

932
00:52:28,960 --> 00:52:32,839
Speaker 3: college level basketball player played at some small colleges out

933
00:52:32,880 --> 00:52:37,600
Speaker 3: in California. Uh, and so, I mean, I aside from basketball,

934
00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:39,920
Speaker 3: do you ever think about what sport you could be

935
00:52:39,960 --> 00:52:41,960
Speaker 3: good at, Like you'd be really good at.

936
00:52:43,080 --> 00:52:44,759
Speaker 5: I think i'd be pretty good at football at this

937
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:48,239
Speaker 5: point in my life. Now I think I understand it,

938
00:52:48,280 --> 00:52:50,600
Speaker 5: and like I'm probably a lot more physical than I

939
00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:51,399
Speaker 5: was at the time that.

940
00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:55,120
Speaker 3: I played football, which Demandi never really played foot didn't

941
00:52:55,120 --> 00:52:56,320
Speaker 3: play football past.

942
00:52:56,520 --> 00:52:57,920
Speaker 4: Seventh grade or something like that.

943
00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:00,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, and uh, I think that I can jump. I

944
00:53:00,680 --> 00:53:02,640
Speaker 5: think i'd be a pretty tough wide receiver.

945
00:53:02,760 --> 00:53:04,759
Speaker 4: I do too. I actually do too.

946
00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:10,279
Speaker 3: I think that I always football. You'll never I don't

947
00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:12,000
Speaker 3: shouldn't say you'll never do it. Maybe when you move

948
00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:12,759
Speaker 3: to la you will.

949
00:53:12,880 --> 00:53:14,959
Speaker 5: No, I do want to get involved in some type

950
00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:16,279
Speaker 5: of flag football or whatever.

951
00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:17,839
Speaker 4: Oh that's all I was going to say though.

952
00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:22,560
Speaker 3: But yeah, that there's two sports that you've never played

953
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:25,439
Speaker 3: that maybe when you go out to l A you will.

954
00:53:25,719 --> 00:53:26,560
Speaker 5: Golf's one of them.

955
00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:29,399
Speaker 3: Golf's one of them, I think, because you're I think

956
00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:32,080
Speaker 3: you'd be a natural golf. But I don't think you'll

957
00:53:32,080 --> 00:53:35,319
Speaker 3: do that. Beach volleyball, I think you.

958
00:53:35,280 --> 00:53:39,600
Speaker 5: Will be de Yeah, I've played I've played volleyball games

959
00:53:39,640 --> 00:53:40,399
Speaker 5: like it, but.

960
00:53:40,400 --> 00:53:42,520
Speaker 4: Like it's so big in l A.

961
00:53:42,640 --> 00:53:46,239
Speaker 3: And because of your height and your leaping ability, I

962
00:53:46,239 --> 00:53:50,120
Speaker 3: think you would with after a couple times playing, once

963
00:53:50,160 --> 00:53:52,239
Speaker 3: you pick up on it, I think you would be

964
00:53:52,320 --> 00:53:53,880
Speaker 3: a crushing in.

965
00:53:54,800 --> 00:53:56,640
Speaker 5: Saying I feel like that takes a little bit of

966
00:53:56,680 --> 00:53:59,120
Speaker 5: the bounce off like volleyball on a court.

967
00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:04,120
Speaker 3: Well that well, so that's how collegiate volleyball is played

968
00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:06,160
Speaker 3: played on basketball court, you know what I mean?

969
00:54:06,520 --> 00:54:09,400
Speaker 4: Like that's six on six beach volleyball.

970
00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:12,840
Speaker 3: Typically it's more two on two. Yeah, but yeah, no,

971
00:54:12,880 --> 00:54:15,400
Speaker 3: I think you'd crush it that. But Demante was a great,

972
00:54:15,520 --> 00:54:20,680
Speaker 3: great basketball player. Uh, and that that was really the

973
00:54:20,719 --> 00:54:24,040
Speaker 3: only sport you played. You could have done track at

974
00:54:24,080 --> 00:54:28,320
Speaker 3: track les long legs and fast and all that stuff.

975
00:54:28,719 --> 00:54:33,600
Speaker 3: Uh yeah. I, on the other hand, played basketball on track.

976
00:54:34,480 --> 00:54:37,759
Speaker 3: Was decent at track, tried hard at basketball. Was not

977
00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:40,360
Speaker 3: as good as I would like to be. Uh, Gabe,

979
00:54:45,719 --> 00:54:48,719
Speaker 3: and worst, but I never guessed, and these young guys

980
00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:49,320
Speaker 3: get tired.

981
00:54:49,360 --> 00:54:52,040
Speaker 4: We can be teammates. That would be great for you

982
00:54:52,080 --> 00:54:53,160

00:54:59,400 --> 00:55:02,839

986
00:55:02,840 --> 00:55:05,200

991
00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:20,720
