1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,440 Speaker 1: Ice, I see, I see, Ivan, You're the motherfucker that 2 00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:08,280 Speaker 1: could read like the right yeah on the bumper stickers, 3 00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:12,640 Speaker 1: like back in the day, talking right to make sense. 4 00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:16,680 Speaker 1: It makes sense now. Welcome back to what's burning playing. Addition, 5 00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:19,239 Speaker 1: let's get right into it on the radar presented to 6 00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:22,639 Speaker 1: you by the Draft Kings. Stephen Jackson, what's up with you, 7 00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:24,840 Speaker 1: baby Barnes? What's up my brother? I can't call him? 8 00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:27,160 Speaker 1: And let's just get right to the action. Our first matchup, 9 00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,760 Speaker 1: we got the Hornets at ten first, the Pacers at nine. 10 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:35,400 Speaker 1: It's Pacers minus three. The money line is one. If 11 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:37,920 Speaker 1: I'm a betting man, I'm taking the Hornets plus three. 12 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 1: What are you liking this, Eire? This one game? Uh, 13 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:43,559 Speaker 1: it's a toss up. I think both teams got got 14 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:45,920 Speaker 1: what they need to get through this round. But I 15 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:47,720 Speaker 1: need star power and I think the Hornets have that. 16 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 1: I think Limelo is gonna bring that that factor and 17 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,040 Speaker 1: then they're gonna pull it out. Hornets star power. I'm 18 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 1: definitely going with this young, inexperienced, but young, exciting team. 19 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 1: I loved it. Loomelo's back. He brings a whole energy 20 00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 1: and attitude to that culture, which I think is needed. 21 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 1: My only question is their top five in the league 22 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,000 Speaker 1: and turnovers the Hornets are can they handle the bright 23 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,320 Speaker 1: lights of this with the world watching. They haven't really 24 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 1: had that this year. Um. Some teams are young and 25 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 1: just don't give a fucking can keep going. Some teams 26 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,680 Speaker 1: that plays in I like how solid Indiana is. The 27 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:17,960 Speaker 1: bonus is having a great year. Carris LeVert came back 28 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 1: from you know that, Uh that that that health issue 29 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 1: he's been bawling. Uh. They're a team that is more steady. 30 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 1: But I still like Charlotte. You can't worry about turnovers 31 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 1: because every every time at the end of the season, 32 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 1: the top players in the league always leading the league 33 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,559 Speaker 1: in turnovers. So you ain't got worried about that, especial 34 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 1: in the playoffs. Ain't mad at that next matchup, Jack, 35 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 1: we got the Wizards at eight versus the Celtics at seven. 36 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 1: It's Celtics minus two. The money line is one twenty nine. 37 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,759 Speaker 1: I was We've been pro Celtics all season. Obviously, losing 38 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 1: Jayleen Brown hurts them. What's your outlook on this? H 39 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 1: this playing I like both teams. Boston is dealing with 40 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 1: some injuries, but um, I just think the way the 41 00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 1: Wizards are playing right now, I think they're gonna ride 42 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 1: it out by going through a lot of adversity. Man, 43 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 1: they've been up and down, the Wizzards on the high 44 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 1: right now, Russ is at his best. Yes, Bill is 45 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,640 Speaker 1: at his best. Yes. Like I said, I've been a 46 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:10,800 Speaker 1: fan of Jason Tato was one of my favorite players 47 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:12,239 Speaker 1: in league. I've been a fan of them all season 48 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,359 Speaker 1: thinking even post All Star break there we're gonna turn 49 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,080 Speaker 1: the corner. Injuries kept them from that. Um, maybe some 50 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 1: other things um kept them from that. But to me, 51 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 1: if you look at it, you know, although Bill is 52 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 1: nursing a hamstring, hopefully Bill can be bal Um. I 53 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 1: think Tatum Mabill kind of canceled each other out. And 54 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 1: to me, who the X factor is is who on 55 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 1: Boston is gonna do with Russell Westbrook rings every night, 56 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,799 Speaker 1: which is a triple double with twenty points and should 57 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: he can give you twenty rebounds or twenty assists too? 58 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,920 Speaker 1: So who's gonna match that energy from the Boston side? 59 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 1: Oscar Robinson not out there, so I don't see it. 60 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 1: I don't see it either, So I gotta I I 61 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: got the Wizards in this game, I'm gonna take the 62 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,239 Speaker 1: Wizards plus the points again. So we took both underdogs 63 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 1: with the points and we'll have to see what happens. 64 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 1: Moving on to the Western Conference, we got the San 65 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,359 Speaker 1: Antonio Spurs at ten verse the Memphis Grillies at nine. 66 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 1: It's Memphis minus three. The money line has one forty eight. Uh. 67 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: Memphis has been top ten in defense all season. Again, 68 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 1: very young team against Pop, who is the Jedi of 69 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 1: the NBA. Uh, what do you like in this game? 70 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 1: I'll never go against Pop for one game. I would 71 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: never go against for one game. He's a genius. He 72 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 1: knows how to make adjustments and put players in a 73 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 1: position to do things that they haven't done all season 74 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,640 Speaker 1: for one game so he can win. Um. I'm not 75 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 1: even really looking at his players. I know he's gonna 76 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:28,920 Speaker 1: have the guys in the position and focus and have 77 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:30,920 Speaker 1: enough game plan to do what they need to do 78 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,519 Speaker 1: to win games. It won't be no individual It's gonna 79 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: be a team win. And I think Pop would haven't 80 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 1: ready for that. See, I thought, Dann, it's crazy he 81 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 1: said that, because I thought the exact opposite. I thought 82 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 1: a series with favorite San Antonio I would pick San 83 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 1: Antonio in a series because to me, Pop is one 84 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 1: of the greatest end game adjusters there is. So I thought, 85 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 1: one game, anything can happen. Someone get hot, marn could 86 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: go for thirty, Jaren Jackson go for thirty, Brooks can 87 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 1: go for thirty, all on the same night, because that's 88 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 1: just one game. But then you would know next game 89 00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 1: Pop will come back and shut that ship off. So 90 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 1: it's funny we look at it two different ways. But 91 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 1: I like, I like Memphis in this game, to be 92 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 1: honest with you, they're young, I like their energy. I 93 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 1: like that all the weapons they have. But again it's 94 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 1: hard to go a gets popping, you know, obviously the 95 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 1: homies tomorrow, the Rosen you know, I always love to 96 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 1: see him do well. So you gotta give Jazz problems though. 97 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,159 Speaker 1: Joh has brought this team out of a gun question, 98 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:19,839 Speaker 1: you know what, I mean to into this position, and 99 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 1: he's been playing with us, so we can't count him, 100 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: and he's all yeah, he's all around too. So I 101 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 1: love the like I said, this play, and I love 102 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 1: the players should I understand as a player it could 103 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 1: be frustrating, but as a fan, which we are now, 104 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 1: I just think it adds that much more excitement leading 105 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 1: in to the playoffs. But we'll get there. We got 106 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 1: next all right, man, next step. We got the Golden 107 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 1: State Warriors at eight plus at the number seven Los 108 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,359 Speaker 1: Angeles Lakers. It's the Lakers minus six and a half. 109 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 1: The money line is minus two sixty five. Lakers have 110 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 1: been riddle with injury. The Worriors are playing great basketball 111 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 1: right now, Jack, talk to me about this matchup. Yeah, 112 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 1: I just smell. It's it's hard to go against Braun 113 00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 1: and Man at any time, against anybody in the world world, 114 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 1: it's hard. But they kind of beat up Um and 115 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 1: the and the supporting cast has been has hasn't been 116 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 1: doing anything. So and Steph is the m v P 117 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 1: to me of this season. He's been playing unbelievable and 118 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:17,480 Speaker 1: they're confident right now. One game, educated guests, I'm going 119 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,720 Speaker 1: I'm going with Steph right now. Just you heard it 120 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,600 Speaker 1: here first Now to me, it's a it's it's a 121 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 1: coin flip, like you said, at if they're healthy. This 122 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,599 Speaker 1: team is not even in this position, you know what 123 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:30,599 Speaker 1: I mean, they're well one or two. See you know, 124 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:34,039 Speaker 1: broun tweaked his ankle last night, although he said he'll 125 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 1: be fine. A D's back in rhythm, Schroder's back. But 126 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 1: to me, the biggest difference with this team is A 127 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 1: D and Lebron do so much. To me them coming back, 128 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 1: I think they'll be fine, but their role players that 129 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:45,920 Speaker 1: have been having to step up and take a lot 130 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 1: of like Kuzma has been bawling and taking a lot 131 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,719 Speaker 1: of shots, you know, all that ship kind of slows down. 132 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,280 Speaker 1: So to me, it's the role players again getting adjusted 133 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 1: um to the situation. Man, he took the Warriors over 134 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: the Lakers in one game. It could be a coin flip. 135 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 1: I'm not mad at that pick to be us again 136 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 1: seven game series. I think the Lakers would be too 137 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,480 Speaker 1: much for the Warriors. I don't think I'm saying anything 138 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,479 Speaker 1: outland just there, but one game it really could be 139 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: a flipsoin and man, I can't wait to watch the game. 140 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,720 Speaker 1: It's gonna be dope. I also think a key aspect 141 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,359 Speaker 1: to this that I think, although Steph has always going 142 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 1: to take the you know, the spotlight because he deserves 143 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 1: it the way he's shooting, you know, Draymond Green, he's 144 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 1: gonna be the one to kind of you can't stop 145 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,479 Speaker 1: a D but he has to stay out up by 146 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 1: our trouble leader referees along and being tuned to the game, 147 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 1: because not only does he have to keep a d down, 148 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 1: he's a big facilitator, huge, huge. He has to really 149 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 1: be locked in and leave all others. All the Warriors 150 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 1: guns are gonna think we need to call and tell 151 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 1: him that. To Weed, I think you need to hear 152 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 1: that from us. Well all about him today. We can 153 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: once we get off, you know what I mean, he 154 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 1: could see us smoking and just give him a little 155 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,360 Speaker 1: bit of motivation. But y'all the Warriors, young guys, it's 156 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 1: gonna be fun. Man Wiggins to Scotto Anderson who else 157 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 1: a pool He's been bawling like all these boys are 158 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 1: gonna have to show up, you know. But like I said, 159 00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,279 Speaker 1: you've got two great leaders and Stephan Draymond that have 160 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 1: been there. Coach heard that staff, So these young boys 161 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 1: are gonna be ready to play. But it's gonna be 162 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 1: a blast. Mell again, This playing is you know what, 163 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:08,480 Speaker 1: This is what they picture. They didn't picture these two teams, 164 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 1: but they picture this kind of excitement with star power, 165 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 1: and we happen to get it with these two teams. 166 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 1: So it's gonna be good. Our favorite segment of the show. 167 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 1: Fan questions. Al Right, first question, thug Nasty eight away 168 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 1: hind Yeah. Is it possible for any playing team to 169 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 1: make a run any dark corses we believe teams this year? Nah, 170 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 1: just like Draymond said, you can never do play we 171 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 1: believe it was just us and they don't even they 172 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 1: don't even consider themselves as the type of we believe team, 173 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 1: which they're not. You know what I'm saying. They are champions, 174 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 1: so um, if any team would be that, it would 175 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 1: be Charlotte having to having the star of that team 176 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 1: of rookie. I think if they can do something dramatic 177 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 1: and knock some walls down and do something special, I 178 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 1: think it would be them. I think you forgot one team. 179 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 1: The Lakers are playing team. Yeah, but I'm not counting 180 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,239 Speaker 1: them because, like to me, they're gonna be a playing 181 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 1: situation and they and they can very easily win the 182 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 1: championship Golden State. It's gonna be tough if Golden State 183 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 1: in Utah, if it ends up one eight. Well, they 184 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 1: said dark horse. I mean the Lakers are kind of 185 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 1: dark right now. Not that dark. You never get that 186 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 1: dark now, good point. Um. Yeah, I mean I don't 187 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 1: see anyone really, to be honest with you, I don't 188 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 1: outside the Lakers, I don't really see a playing team 189 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 1: making it significant run. I wouldn't be surprised if some 190 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 1: of them, one of them are two of them made 191 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 1: to the second round, though I agree. Next question, grind 192 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 1: underscore one to four Wizards are in the play in 193 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:39,960 Speaker 1: how far do you guys think they can go? Also, 194 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,320 Speaker 1: should the Wizards start looking for a new coach? Who's 195 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,439 Speaker 1: the coach Scots Scott Brooks? I like Scott Brooks. I 196 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 1: don't know nothing enough about him to talk bad about them. 197 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,959 Speaker 1: To you. The best coach for Russell Rust brook They 198 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 1: know each other. Rust is at his best with him, 199 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 1: and the Wizards did a great job by getting the 200 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 1: coach there first. Then bringing Rusty did a great job. 201 00:08:58,080 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 1: I think Russ gonna finish his career as long as 202 00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 1: that coaches. Um. So, to answer your question, yeah, they're 203 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 1: gonna yeah, I think if yeah, I think gets the 204 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 1: next game. To me, I think they take pride in 205 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,320 Speaker 1: the process because they were literally in the gutter. You know, worst, 206 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 1: we're worst record in league. If I'm not on staking 207 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:16,720 Speaker 1: or you know, top two or three were worst record 208 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 1: in the league, and Rush grinded the whole time through 209 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,440 Speaker 1: a body injury. Brad Beal was banged up a little bit. 210 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 1: But like I said you said earlier, these dudes are 211 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 1: playing good basketball at the right time, you know what 212 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,560 Speaker 1: I mean. So I would expect them to to definitely 213 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 1: get in there. But you know you're going against Goliath 214 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 1: after that, So we wish you the best ice that see. 215 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 1: I see, Ivan, Yeah, you're the motherfucker. They could read 216 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 1: like the spell right yeah, on the on the bumper 217 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 1: stickers like back in the day you read right to you. 218 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:48,559 Speaker 1: Makes sense. It makes sense now, I see Ivan. Matt Barnes, 219 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 1: what are your favorite top five players of yours? My 220 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,839 Speaker 1: favorite was your half court game winning Verse Detroit Man. 221 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 1: I had a couple of big we believe shots. Um, 222 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:00,560 Speaker 1: I don't really don't really think about I'm gonna give 223 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,439 Speaker 1: you one. Uh. One of my top monem Vitree in 224 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,680 Speaker 1: the player against Dallas in Dallas on the road game 225 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:08,960 Speaker 1: one and back and Gold State too. One of my 226 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 1: favorite players was when DeAndre dunked on Brandon Knight and 227 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 1: I jumped up and ran down the court. Then one 228 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 1: of my favorite plays so over the top. It was unbelievable. 229 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 1: Bro I heard his shoulder blades hit the ground that 230 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,320 Speaker 1: night and people were already screaming, so imagine how hard 231 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,679 Speaker 1: he had to hit the ground. I just don't want 232 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:25,960 Speaker 1: to be questioned in the murder. I was out of there. 233 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 1: Manitty underscore what was Stack's best moments with Tim Duncan 234 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 1: while playing with him in the same and the same 235 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 1: for Kobe with you, Matt, I go first. Tim Duncan 236 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:38,959 Speaker 1: was great man. To have a person who's now in 237 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame, UH to me the best power 238 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:45,439 Speaker 1: for whatever. UH to have the confidence in me to 239 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,079 Speaker 1: pass me the ball in the clutch moments the championship 240 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 1: games and you know, just believing in me and telling 241 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 1: Pop to start me, you know, twelve games and to 242 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,960 Speaker 1: my second season and to the NBA. It just it 243 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 1: meant the laugh of me because you don't have stars 244 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,120 Speaker 1: that automatically draw close to you when you come to 245 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 1: the league and also have confidence in you to tell 246 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:04,560 Speaker 1: the head because they want you in the starting lineup. 247 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 1: So for Tim Duncan to do that for me and 248 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,720 Speaker 1: give me the name called me the ultimate teammate I 249 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 1: ever hold him in how I regard it's dope. So 250 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 1: I think Tim Duncan might be like the most mysterious 251 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 1: and I mean this's in a bad way, but no 252 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 1: serious superstar because he just don't hear him talk. He 253 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 1: doesn't really do interviews. He's very to himself. Obviously only 254 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 1: got to play against him as an opponent. But yeah, 255 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,600 Speaker 1: you're right, greatest power for whatever, um so um me 256 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,080 Speaker 1: for Cobe. I just kind of think our journey to 257 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:31,560 Speaker 1: where we got, you know what I mean, from like 258 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 1: I said, you know me and admiring him when I 259 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:34,480 Speaker 1: was in college, w I to see him work out 260 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 1: and play, um, to playing against him, always excited to 261 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,320 Speaker 1: do that, to our little altercation, to us becoming teammates, 262 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 1: you know, to him to call him me up and 263 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 1: you know, anyone crazy enough to fund with me, it's 264 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 1: crazy enough to play with me. Um, and then runs 265 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,480 Speaker 1: we became teammates, just becoming brothers and really fucking with 266 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:50,200 Speaker 1: each other off the court, and you know him being 267 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,199 Speaker 1: an instrument on the boy's life and that kind of stuff. 268 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,200 Speaker 1: So my, my, my, my Kobe memories are obviously the 269 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,080 Speaker 1: basketball stuff was great and had a good time, but 270 00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 1: really kind of just the impact he made uh and 271 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 1: my boys life Shanna four. How serious are the talks 272 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,320 Speaker 1: of you and Matt maybe getting in the ring with 273 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 1: Oo Sinko on Flora's pay per view. I didn't know 274 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 1: there was talking. I've never heard that in my life, 275 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 1: and you ain't gonna hear it. I don't have listen. 276 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:18,840 Speaker 1: I don't have a fighting bone in my body right now. 277 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 1: I don't want no beef or no smoke with nobody. 278 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 1: The only thing I'm fighting it's the bank and I'm 279 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 1: punching the mess side of it. I'm winning, so I 280 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,679 Speaker 1: ain't fight nobody. But I think people have to understand, 281 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:35,720 Speaker 1: like boxing and fighting are two different things, two different things. 282 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 1: I mean, Mother's could fight good and then people could 283 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 1: box cut you know what I mean. Like we've been 284 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 1: people who have fought our whole lives, nothing but proud of. 285 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,720 Speaker 1: But it's just weeping fighting because what people don't understand, 286 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,200 Speaker 1: Like we've been in real fights a whole life. I've 287 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,959 Speaker 1: shot at somebody in real life. So I don't want 288 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 1: to have no problems with nobody for the rest of 289 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 1: my life. I'm We're in a good space. Yeah, yeah, 290 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 1: we win and we went in the wards and stuff 291 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 1: like that. I ain't never done thing like this before. 292 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,080 Speaker 1: Stay out of my way bruying to up the church's money. 293 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,680 Speaker 1: I'm not doing it. Yeah, so I guess that's the 294 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:06,319 Speaker 1: answer right there. Nope, answers, No, make sure you check 295 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:10,440 Speaker 1: us out. Thursday, May twentie, we dropped the Jeremy Lynd episode. 296 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 1: He had a great sit down with me and Jack 297 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 1: last week. Man opened up my eyes to a lot 298 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 1: of new things, very deep in intelligent. Dude, you guys 299 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,440 Speaker 1: A definitely enjoyed this. So check out this teaser. What 300 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 1: are your thoughts on just kind of where we are 301 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 1: as a country and and in this particular incident that 302 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 1: can continue to happen. When police brutality was happening, like 303 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 1: at the height of the uproar when black lives matter, 304 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 1: you know all that, all those situations like it mattered 305 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:45,439 Speaker 1: to me, but it didn't hit home like this one 306 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:47,840 Speaker 1: is hitting home right now. Will stop Asian hate. And 307 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that it has to be a perfectly 308 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,840 Speaker 1: equal experience, but I am saying, like I even learned 309 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:58,319 Speaker 1: a lot from Like, hey, I need to have more empathy. 310 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 1: If we can all start with learning a little bit more. 311 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,720 Speaker 1: We're talking a little bit less or judging a little 312 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:05,560 Speaker 1: bit less. I think we'll be in a much much 313 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 1: better place. You said it perfectly, just like you know, 314 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 1: I understood and I supported the Black Lives Matter movement, 315 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:15,080 Speaker 1: but it didn't register with me like these Asian hate crimes, 316 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 1: do you know what I mean? So I think until 317 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 1: everyone open up and have that collective understanding and dialogue, 318 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,720 Speaker 1: will probably stay stuck in this neutral position. And this 319 00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 1: is a sad part. When I came over, all I knew, 320 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 1: all I knew about, you know, African Americans was what 321 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 1: Hollywood told us, and so you know, for me, it 322 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 1: was like every time, you know, when we were growing up, 323 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 1: you know, my parents would be like if there, if there, 324 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 1: it was a black person was walking on the street, 325 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 1: it would be like, oh, lock the door, right, like 326 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 1: that's all we knew, that's all we saw. It wasn't 327 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 1: until I started playing. Once I got to elementary school, 328 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 1: I had a lot of black teammates. Once I got 329 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 1: to middle school, high school, had a ton of black teammates. 330 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 1: And then I started going to you know, East Palo 331 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 1: Alto to picking them up and then they became like 332 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 1: lifelong friends. And then all of a sudden just by 333 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 1: pure exposure, my my perspective and my parents perspective completely changed. 334 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 1: And it all came from exposure because you actually took 335 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 1: a little bit of time to step into someone else's shoot. 336 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:14,480 Speaker 1: And that's what basketball has done for me is just 337 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 1: put me in this middle ground where like, man, I've 338 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 1: experienced certain things from from black players and black teammates 339 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,480 Speaker 1: that like, I'm like, that really hurt me. And then 340 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:25,680 Speaker 1: like on the flip side, I also know that I've 341 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,360 Speaker 1: been a part of problem even what the things and 342 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 1: the stereotypes that I've had about certain people like before 343 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 1: I actually got to know them, and that that that 344 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:40,280 Speaker 1: healing has to happen through dialogue and through empathy. You 345 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 1: were recently called the coronavirus when you're playing in the 346 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 1: G League, But I like the road you take. You 347 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 1: didn't necessarily call the players out in public. I think, 348 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken, you had a conversation with them 349 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 1: when you guys sat down and had you know, had talks. 350 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 1: But what was that like just to kind of that 351 00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 1: kind of energy coming towards you on the court Again, 352 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,320 Speaker 1: I was like, I'm not saying the name because I 353 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,920 Speaker 1: don't want this do like having to deal with racist 354 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 1: like that's what I'm saying, the anti blackness and stuff 355 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 1: like that. It's like, so if if we're upset about 356 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 1: certch certain racist things happening, where we're gonna do turn 357 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 1: on be racist? Like that just doesn't make sense. It 358 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 1: doesn't matter what race you are, Like, that's not solving 359 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 1: the issue. So the whole point is about building awareness 360 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,800 Speaker 1: and then building up and learning how it can heal 361 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 1: and go in the right direction. And so for me 362 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:31,520 Speaker 1: having a conversation with the player in the G League, 363 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,920 Speaker 1: we actually spoke and had a great conversation. He was like, 364 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 1: I've been in the bubble, man, I don't know anything 365 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 1: about what's been going on. I haven't been on social media. 366 00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 1: I'm just trying to get into the n b A. 367 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 1: And then he's like, it wasn't until that that I 368 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 1: started looking up all these things that are happening to 369 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,000 Speaker 1: the Asian American community. I'm so sorry, man, Like I 370 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 1: didn't know it was like that. And then I shared 371 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 1: some stuff, but it was just that was real. We 372 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 1: really learned from each other and our perspectives changed. Um, 373 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:57,720 Speaker 1: And that's why you know I went that route. I 374 00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,960 Speaker 1: command you brother, because, like you said, they conversation has 375 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 1: to be had, and that's the only way we're gonna 376 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 1: make any type of way and get to what we're 377 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:05,720 Speaker 1: trying to go because we're all trying to get to 378 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 1: the same place of equality. A lot of people should 379 00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 1: never get to the point where it was happening to 380 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,400 Speaker 1: their own race to take other people's place. Serious, if 381 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:14,600 Speaker 1: you care about the other race, you gotta reteach what 382 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,800 Speaker 1: were taught. We gotta reteach people. We gotta change the 383 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 1: narrative because we can stand together. We all can stand 384 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:22,919 Speaker 1: in the same room and respect each other. But a 385 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,320 Speaker 1: lot of people wasn't taught that we gotta reteach people. 386 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,680 Speaker 1: Basketball Hall of Fame class was announced.
