38
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 5: we launched a new summer podcast series called Fast Friends,

39
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 5: where Trey JD and I are watching and reviewing every

40
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 5: movie from the Fast and Furious franchise. So the first

41
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 5: one is up obviously watching the og movie there from

42
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 5: two thousand and one. People seem to be enjoying it,

43
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 5: so if you haven't checked it out, you know, you

44
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,239
Speaker 5: can maybe watch the movie again if you want. You

45
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,679
Speaker 5: really need to. We go through the whole movie. The

46
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 5: podcast like an hour fifty.

47
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 3: That's my favorite comment we've been getting. Hey, I just

48
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 3: noticed that the podcast is longer than the movie. Yeah.

49
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, we went deep to see our podcast on space Jam.

50
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 2: Exactly exactly, so go check.

51
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 5: That out, Fast Friends, and yeah, it's in the same feed.

52
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 5: Of course it's in the same YouTube feed as well,

53
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 5: so go check that out if you are a fan

54
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 5: of the Fast and Furious franchise. I having a lot

55
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 5: of fun doing these second one dropping I guess next

56
00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 5: week at some point, is that right j D. Yeah,

57
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,799
Speaker 5: that's correct, later week, so we'll be doing trying to

58
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 5: do one a week. That's the plan here through the summer.

59
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 2: Fast Friends.

60
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 5: Okay, we got some free agency talk, another little round

61
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 5: up for everybody, but we are talking Olympics here on

62
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 5: the weekend. Lee will get to you in a second,

63
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 5: but we start with trade.

64
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:15,079
Speaker 4: Yeah.

65
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 5: Sorry, maybe we're.

66
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 4: Burying the lead with Mills.

67
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 6: Maybe who we are?

68
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 5: But Tmusa wins gold versus France and the Tokyo Olympics

69
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:27,519
Speaker 5: their fourth consecutive gold medal. TK coming into this thing,

70
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 5: the worry scale kept creeping higher and higher. Oh, you

71
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 5: were a six at one point, then you were nine,

72
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 5: then you went to a ten and.

73
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 3: Never on nine point nine loss to francekeets.

74
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 2: They said it couldn't be done.

75
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 3: But the USA takes home another gold medal, probably the

76
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 3: hardest flot gold since NBA players joined the program in

77
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 3: nineteen ninety two. I know it was the closest gold

78
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 3: medal game for the US, and to me, it was

79
00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 3: very reminiscent of the Gold medal game against Spain in

80
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 3: two thousand and eight. Team USA against a driven veteran

81
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 3: rival who's trying to take down the Americans on the

82
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 3: biggest stage. In that gold medal game two thousand and eight,

83
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 3: the USA had Kobe Bryant to take over down the

84
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,839
Speaker 3: stretch when things got a little dicey. This time, Team

85
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 3: USA had their greatest Olympic basketball player, Kevin Durant. Another

86
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 3: incredible game, bit of a mirror image to Kobe and eight.

87
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 3: Kobe took over late. KD took over early in this thing,

88
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,600
Speaker 3: twenty one points by halftime, and it really felt like

89
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 3: a break in case of emergency game for KD. Anytime

90
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 3: the US would go two or three possessions without scoring,

91
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 3: just give it to Kevin somebody. He's gonna somehow get

92
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 3: a mid range jumper. He was awesome, finished with twenty

93
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 3: nine points, making it thirty thirty and twenty nine in

94
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 3: three straight Gold medal games. He came out looking to

95
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,479
Speaker 3: run this game, and he did on both ends. Aside

96
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 3: from the scoring, more great defense from Durant. He was

97
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 3: getting his hands on the ball all night long. He

98
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 3: was defending post ups from Rudy Gobert. It was just

99
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 3: best player the world kind of stuff all night. Not

100
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 3: only is that the story of the gold medal game, that,

101
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 3: to me is the story for this version of Team USA. Obviously,

102
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 3: I was worried about it. They had no identity, they

103
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 3: had no pecking order really heading into the Olympics. It

104
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 3: played out in the France game a loss. I said

105
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 3: back then, this needs to be Kevin Durant's team. Joe

106
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 3: Varden at The Athletic reported that Team USA had a

107
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 3: player's only meeting, basically saying, hey, if you're a scorer,

108
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 3: shoot the ball. Don't feel bad about shooting. We need

109
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 3: to have a little bit of a pecking order here.

110
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 3: And starting probably in the Czech Republic game, is when

111
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 3: the team really figured things out. Katie kept being Katie,

112
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 3: and everybody else found their role. That became Drew Holliday's

113
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 3: on ball defense, his passing, and his strength. Him joining

114
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 3: the team after the finals was a game changer for

115
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 3: Team USA. Jason Tatum basically became Kdi off the bench,

116
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 3: their leading score with the second unit, Devin Booker, Zach Levine.

117
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 3: These guys became wings stoppers. They made it tough out

118
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 3: on the perimeter. Eighteen turnovers for France last night, Bam

119
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 3: and Draymond smashing people with screens, moving the ball, and

120
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 3: they figured out the third quarter blitz, which was Team

121
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 3: USA signature. Throughout this tournament, they looked like Team USA again,

122
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 3: the best and deepest collection of talent in the world

123
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 3: and mad pops to props. Wait other way around, mad

124
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 3: props to pop, Greg Poppy. He found the right roles

125
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 3: for everybody once the finals players show up. I was

126
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 3: nervous about this team, but that's why I love this

127
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 3: version of Team USA. They figured out who they were

128
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 3: and what it took to win on the fly. It

129
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 3: was a team that went from a collection of players

130
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 3: to a team by the end of the things. Great

131
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 3: win for Team USA.

132
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, tass, what'd you think of last night's game? You know,

133
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 5: France put up a fight. They didn't do themselves any favor.

134
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 2: Tray's right.

135
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 5: The eighteen turnovers that that hurt Go Bear at the

136
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 5: line really hurt six of thirteen. He missed some big

137
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 5: ones there late. You know, Fournia had a bad game,

138
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 5: But what do you think of the gold medal performance

139
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 5: here from TMSA.

140
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,720
Speaker 8: Well, this was just a really really entertaining gold medal game.

141
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 8: It felt worthy of a gold medal game. It just

142
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 8: was the out was never a sure thing from the

143
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 8: get go all the way till the absolute end. It

144
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 8: became a really close game. So it just felt right. Yeah,

145
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 8: and it shows that the rest of the world obviously

146
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 8: has caught up to some degree to the US. But

147
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 8: they just can't walk out there and roll the ball

148
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 8: out and figure it out from game one. Even the

149
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 8: best have to work at it, and they did throughout

150
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 8: this tournament and figured it out. But you know, going forward,

151
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 8: the US obviously knows that they just can't come into

152
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 8: any tournament and just roll over the competition. It's like

153
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 8: every single game will be close, and France put up

154
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 8: a great fight. Yeah, they found their pecking order throughout

155
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 8: these the preliminary games and then into the single elimination games.

156
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 4: The Americans did.

157
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 8: And I would be happy to see Kevin Durant be

158
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 8: a flag bear at that closing ceremony. Is third gold

159
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 8: he will likely be in twenty twenty four, and petty,

160
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 8: when France will be playing at home going for his

161
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 8: fourth goal, he'll only be thirty five. As Lee pointed

162
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 8: out the other day, it's only three years away, so

163
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 8: he'll be an old thirty five going on to thirty

164
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 8: six that year, So you know, I doubt he'll be

165
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 8: around for thirty nine for his fifth.

166
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 4: But who the heck knows. Kevin Durant just freaking signed

167
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 4: till twenty twenty six.

168
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 8: It is crazy guy who broke his foot and then

169
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 8: missed an entire season with an achilles injury. Literally signed

170
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 8: till his nineteenth year in the league, although he missed one,

171
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,559
Speaker 8: so it's only eighteen seasons. But that's pretty crazy. He'll

172
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 8: be playing until twenty twenty six. Easily signed that extension

173
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,079
Speaker 8: out of nowhere with the Brooklyn Nets, so he'll be

174
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 8: back for number four when he's thirty five years old.

175
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 8: And yeah, he had an incredible first half, he kind

176
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 8: of slowed down in the second half. He only had

177
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,719
Speaker 8: twenty one or he had twenty one in the first half,

178
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 8: only had eight in the second half. And he gave

179
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 8: props after the game to Damian Lillard in the fourth quarter,

180
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,199
Speaker 8: who was the guy that kind of took over for

181
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 8: them when you know, when plays were just dead plays scramble.

182
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,319
Speaker 8: Give it to Dame who hasn't been the Dame that

183
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 8: we know throughout this tournament. He's had to struggle to

184
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:07,559
Speaker 8: find his way even though it was the starting point guard.

185
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:09,559
Speaker 8: Because he's given up to Kevin. It's different for him,

186
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 8: and he did in the fourth quarter. But Kevin Durant

187
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:17,199
Speaker 8: obviously should get a ton of the love. And you

188
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 8: got to respect Kevin. You know, I tweeted about this

189
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 8: this morning. You know that Kevin Durant has been there,

190
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 8: done that. When he made sure that that flag that

191
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:28,959
Speaker 8: he wrapped around him first wasn't upside down, he'd had

192
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 8: to do it a couple of times. If okay, figure

193
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,599
Speaker 8: it out, it's going the right way up. But he

194
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 8: also had it so when the camera was looking at it,

195
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 8: the stars and stripes were on the right. A lot

196
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:40,079
Speaker 8: of the guys were doing that, it was just it

197
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 8: was backwards that way. Then he figured it out, wrapped

198
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 8: himself around it. Worthy of photos. Yeah, thirty thirty twenty

199
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,439
Speaker 8: nine in gold medal games and now number four for

200
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 8: sure in twenty twenty four. He's putting a stamp on

201
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 8: the Basketball World, no doubt, and.

202
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,680
Speaker 5: Kirk Goldsberry wrote this morning ly like no one would

203
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 5: have folded Durant if he skip this year's Olympics. Oh yeah,

204
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 5: because you know he's only a couple of years removed

205
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 5: from the Achilles injury. He just came off a playoff disappointment,

206
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 5: you know, a tough seven game series loss to the

207
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 5: eventual champs in the Bucks. He's participated in a million

208
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 5: Luna's fired up here. He's participated in a of course,

209
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,599
Speaker 5: a ton of summer games. He had nothing left to

210
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:24,599
Speaker 5: prove really on the international stage. And here he is

211
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 5: playing again and then coming through. And I said it

212
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 5: the other day, I don't think they win. I don't

213
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 5: even know if they meddle, but I don't think they

214
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 5: win a gold medal. Durance not on the team, and

215
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:33,839
Speaker 5: he comes through here. I gotta go see what the

216
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:34,719
Speaker 5: hell Luna's part.

217
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:36,719
Speaker 2: You take it from there.

218
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 6: Luna doesn't agree with you.

219
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 7: I guess that's what she's saying.

220
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 8: That maybe then Draine is not draining right now. Didn't

221
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 8: come through in the Golden Mill game. Maybe the drain's

222
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 8: not going coming through right now.

223
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 5: Come on, an unbelievable job in these friends urants.

224
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 7: No. I mean, Lebron has played in the in the

225
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 7: Olympics before, and so I was fine with him missing

226
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 7: it because he's he's done his time, and Kevin Durant's

227
00:10:58,160 --> 00:10:59,839
Speaker 7: done his time. And again that injury, you would think

228
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 7: getting back and you know, making the playoffs, maybe he

229
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 7: wanted to just rest up and get ready for next season,

230
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 7: but instead he put on that red, white and blue

231
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 7: jersey and then led from the front as well. There

232
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 7: was no excuses even when they lost those couple of

233
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 7: exhibition games and against France, no one on the USA

234
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:15,839
Speaker 7: really was making excuses. They knew they were in for

235
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 7: a battle. And Popovich said, I think even after the

236
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 7: Nigeria lost in the exhibition, he's like, maybe this is

237
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 7: a good thing for us, you know, because it shows

238
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 7: us we have to be on our game from the start.

239
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 7: Everyone else is ready for us, and they were once

240
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 7: they lost to France, and they didn't, you know, they

241
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,679
Speaker 7: didn't really get too troubled by anybody after that, and

242
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 7: you know, I think Popovich sort of realized, yeah, there's

243
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 7: no need to sort of play by committee here. Let

244
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 7: Kevin Durant cook, and let Damian Little cook and let

245
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,559
Speaker 7: whoever else you know, Tatum or zach Lavine, whoever it is,

246
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 7: got the ball.

247
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:46,959
Speaker 6: Let those guys shoot and score. And they did. So

248
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 6: this was a good game. France were close enough, but

249
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 6: they also.

250
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,439
Speaker 7: Weren't really going to sort of overthrow the USA.

251
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 6: I didn't think.

252
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,079
Speaker 7: I mean, Franklin Key had hit that big three, made

253
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,719
Speaker 7: it a three point game with about five minutes to go.

254
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,439
Speaker 7: Then Littlely just came down for an easy one, and

255
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 7: then I think Neila Keia turned it over and Drew

256
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,439
Speaker 7: Holiday got a breakaway dunk and it was kind of

257
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 7: turnover from the Yeah, that one, yeah, And that just

258
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:10,439
Speaker 7: sort of felt that's what it was. It was like

259
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 7: the French have to be perfect from here and then

260
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 7: and then you mentioned Rudy go Bert misses a couple

261
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 7: of free throws there, and I think Lui wu Cabaau

262
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 7: missed the layup as well. So it's the France exhibit

263
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 7: execution in that last five to six minutes wasn't perfect

264
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:27,719
Speaker 7: and it had to be. And when you got Kevin

265
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 7: Durant out there, you know, that's that's very very tough

266
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:34,199
Speaker 7: to overcome. So good effort by France, but really more

267
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 7: impressive by the USA, considering there was doubt, as there

268
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 7: was haters. There was people thinking that, you know, they're

269
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 7: not going to even get to this point. But in

270
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 7: the end they do what they've done pretty much every

271
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 7: other Olympics except for losing that one game at the

272
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 7: start of the tournament.

273
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 5: If you were to give out a gold, silver and

274
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 5: bronze to Team USA, Trey obviously Durant gets the gold,

275
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 5: But who would you be putting like the silver and

276
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 5: the bronze around the neck of Like who is the

277
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 5: second and third best players on this team?

278
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 3: You think Drew Holliday, no doubt, is the silver medal.

279
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 3: I think he's a blowout silver medal.

280
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 6: Yeah.

281
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 3: I don't know if that makes any sense, but to me,

282
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 3: he was clearly the second best player and the team

283
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,679
Speaker 3: really took a turn for the better once Drew Holliday

284
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 3: and Devin Booker and Chris Middleton obviously showed up.

285
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,079
Speaker 2: But Holiday was the difference than me.

286
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,439
Speaker 3: The tone he set being an on ball defender, I

287
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 3: think kind of filtered down to the rest of the USA.

288
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 3: It's like, if this guy's out there working that hard

289
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 3: to just get deflections, we can get deflections. And you

290
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,319
Speaker 3: saw that play out last night. Eighteen turnovers for the

291
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 3: French team. And that's how Team USA really overwhelms is

292
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 3: by bringing in wave after wave of guys who can

293
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,560
Speaker 3: just be athletically superior to the rest of the teams.

294
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 3: And when they're able to do that, when Drew Holliday

295
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 3: was out there setting the tone, I thought for sure

296
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:52,199
Speaker 3: he was their second best player, third best player. I

297
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 3: don't know, it's kind of by committee, you know, maybe

298
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 3: it was Jason Tatum. I suppose last night he was

299
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,439
Speaker 3: kind of the durant off the bench for Team USA,

300
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,199
Speaker 3: their go to score when things would break down, you know,

301
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 3: their ISO guy when they needed to get a basket.

302
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 3: But maybe Devin Booker as well could be the bronze medalist.

303
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 3: I thought he was similar to Drew Holliday and that

304
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 3: the offense he would give you was almost a bonus

305
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 3: to the defensive intensity he was bringing, which is something

306
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 3: you don't expect necessarily.

307
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 2: From Devin Booker.

308
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 3: So for sure, the number one and two guys are

309
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 3: kd and Drew Holliday. After that, there's been a bunch

310
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 3: of different bronze medalists, Like Test said, Damian Lillard was

311
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 3: awesome in the fourth quarter last night, aside from a

312
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 3: couple of misses at the line, but he hadn't had

313
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 3: a very distinguished tournament. Apparently had an ab injury through

314
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 3: this thing. But in the fourth quarter, it was dame

315
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 3: time for Team USA.

316
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 2: Yeah.

317
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 5: I think Draybond Green too, definitely, you know, just the

318
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 5: defensive intensity he brings and who was a stretch there

319
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 5: earlier on where he wasn't even missing shots. I know

320
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 5: he doesn't take a ton, but he was never like

321
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 5: even missing one. He had the great play in this

322
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 5: game test I'm sure you saw it where he's still

323
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 5: one of the rare American guys that knows the rules

324
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 5: of international basketball, was like, oh, that thing's on the rim. Yeah,

325
00:14:58,040 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 5: you can go up and take it off. That was

326
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 5: a amazing And so I thought he played pretty well.

327
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 5: You know, he just does Draymond things that he did.

328
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 5: He does into the NBA career. He just brings him

329
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 5: to the international stage and he's got some experience there

330
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 5: and it shows.

331
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 8: Yeah, a lot of people in the stream team pointing

332
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 8: out you can take it off the rim, but it

333
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 8: is weird to see it on a free throw and

334
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 8: that's where Dream did it. Less than three minutes left

335
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 8: in this game, and you could clearly see it because

336
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 8: all the French players were back ready to play defense.

337
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 8: So the only people by the rim were Draymond. I

338
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 8: think it was Kevin Durant on the other side waiting

339
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 8: for the board, and it was just Draymond and a rim.

340
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 8: It's like he's in practice, sees a ball go up

341
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 8: there and just flicks it off.

342
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 4: It is weird.

343
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 8: And people in the stream team here saying maybe it

344
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 8: shouldn't be allowed on free throws only because it is

345
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 8: kind of weird, the balls like rolling in.

346
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 4: But anyways, it is it.

347
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 5: Go ahead and swish it then if you don't want

348
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 5: it to be knocked off that I think it's great.

349
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 8: We would never see a free throw weggie ever, because

350
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 8: we would never get a bounce, bounce, bounce, A guy

351
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 8: wouldn't come down. Yeah, and usually are the only free

352
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 8: throw wedges that I know of where I'm from. You

353
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 8: get bounced, bounced stick and you never really get a

354
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 8: full stick.

355
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 4: But anyways, it is.

356
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 8: But yeah, your're holiday is a freaking god on the

357
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 8: defensive end. Is it was weird to see him? You know,

358
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 8: he wins a championship, he shows up with Devin Booker

359
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 8: at Chris Middleton to get off the flight or are

360
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 8: these guys going to be able to contribute first play

361
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 8: of this game. It's a twenty four second violation for

362
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 8: the American team because the Americans were ready. They took

363
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 8: their times, as we said, yeah, yeah, excuse me. They

364
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 8: took their time to get into the game in the

365
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 8: quarterfinals of the semifinals, but they're ready in this first quarter.

366
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 8: They're ready to finish the job. And Drew Holliday a

367
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 8: huge part of that. In a forty minute game, feels

368
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 8: like he can go extremely hard on the defensive end

369
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 8: every possession. I think the finals even helped him offensively,

370
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 8: just to be a little bit more consistent. He's the

371
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 8: starting point guard on this American team, and I think

372
00:16:56,240 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 8: going forward in twenty twenty four, there won't be tight

373
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 8: window of finals and the Olympics. There will be some

374
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 8: space there, so you'll have more of a camp. I

375
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 8: think that's what hurt the Americans in this tournament is

376
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 8: that they didn't have a camp and they don't obviously

377
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 8: lack the camaraderie that other teams do. So Drew Holliday

378
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:22,440
Speaker 8: was yeah, clearly a blowout. Silver medalist but the good

379
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:26,160
Speaker 8: thing is that you don't know who is the bronze

380
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 8: medalist or whatever, because everybody just took their role seriously

381
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 8: as a supporting player to Kevin Durant. That's the beauty

382
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 8: of USA basketball. We sit here every single day and

383
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 8: we talk about number ones and number twos and number

384
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 8: threes on teams, and when Devin Booker goes back and

385
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,879
Speaker 8: Zach Levine goes back and Chris Middleton goes back, they

386
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 8: know their role on their team, but here it's a

387
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 8: totally different role, and they're just playing basketball and they're

388
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 8: awesome at being the supporting guys. So yeah, probably blow

389
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 8: up for Drew Holiday at two, blow for Kevin Durant

390
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 8: and the gold medal spot. But I think the rest

391
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:04,959
Speaker 8: of the guys, including bam Adebayo, who had a really

392
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 8: good tournament, can squeeze in on that third side of

393
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 8: the podium there and all except the bronze medals as

394
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 8: the supporting cast players.

395
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 5: A few notes too. They are pretty cool with Drew Holliday.

396
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 5: He's got an Olympic gold of course, now, just like

397
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 5: his wife Lauren, who has two of them for the

398
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:23,880
Speaker 5: US women's national soccer team.

399
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:24,679
Speaker 2: That's pretty cool, and.

400
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 5: Then drew and then JaVale McGee now has an Olympic gold,

401
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:34,719
Speaker 5: just like his mom, Pamela, who won a US women's

402
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 5: basketball gold at the eighty four LA Games. And I

403
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 5: think they're the first. They're the first in US Olympic history,

404
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 5: like the mom son combo to win one, and I

405
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 5: think it happened maybe once before, like for a Russian

406
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:51,160
Speaker 5: mother son combo, like back in one of them, one

407
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,160
Speaker 5: in fencing and the one on one in water polo

408
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 5: or something like that. Yeah, who knows, you're right, who knows,

409
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 5: But that's pretty cool. And then this is Jerry Colangelo's

410
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 5: final run with TSA and building the squad.

411
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 2: I forgot Grant Hill's taking over.

412
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,639
Speaker 5: Yeah, I was like, oh, yeah, so he'll have that

413
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:11,159
Speaker 5: role now of trying to like get the commitments and

414
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 5: build this team and the roster and stuff like that.

415
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 5: And then it sounds like Pop is not going to

416
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:16,640
Speaker 5: be doing this again. He's got his goal.

417
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 2: That's great.

418
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 5: Everybody's happy to see that. And we'll see who takes

419
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 5: over for the as the coach for this team, so

420
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:26,640
Speaker 5: there'll be some changes there in twenty twenty four. Let's

421
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 5: get on a couple.

422
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 3: Of couple of great moments also from this gold medal game,

423
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 3: Kevin Durant going up for a huge dunk on Rudy

424
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:39,239
Speaker 3: Gobert with Vince Carter on the call, and what did

425
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 3: he say is like, man, when you see an American

426
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 3: guard go up for a dunk on the French defender,

427
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:47,880
Speaker 3: but then he didn't go all the way saying where

428
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 3: are you Frederick? I hope you're having a Wise's life, baby.

429
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 2: I thought that was great.

430
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 3: And also as the buzzer expires, Zach Levine casually between the.

431
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:01,160
Speaker 2: Legs throwing it down.

432
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 3: As soon as the gold medal is locked down, you

433
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 3: could say the bulls are back on the gold medal stand.

434
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 2: It feels good to say it, you know.

435
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:08,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure.

436
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:13,120
Speaker 7: I loved what about Devin Booker being a hit band

437
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 7: guy in the Olympics because he's not a headband guy.

438
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 5: Additionally, is he Yeah. I was talking to my buddy

439
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 5: Grishbolt that last night. I actually I hope he just

440
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:23,680
Speaker 5: goes back to the Booker look like the more of

441
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:25,919
Speaker 5: the top sort of vibe. It's I'm not the biggest

442
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,119
Speaker 5: head band Booker fan. It just doesn't look it doesn't

443
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 5: look cool on him. For some reason to me because.

444
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 2: He's he was a young guy with his normal haircut.

445
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,159
Speaker 7: But he was the only dude wearing it too, I

446
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 7: think on the on the team USA, so a bit

447
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:38,880
Speaker 7: of an unusual move for God. It popped that out

448
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 7: during the Olympics.

449
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 3: You know, I thought it was interesting too that Drew

450
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 3: Holliday is usually a headband guy and he didn't wear

451
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 3: in the Olympics. So I was thinking, wait, so you

452
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 3: are you just not allowed to wear a head band?

453
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 4: Wait?

454
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 3: No, Carmelo Anthony used to wear one, and then obviously

455
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 3: Devin Booker was so maybe on the flight over, they're.

456
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 2: Like, what do you think switch things up here?

457
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:00,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe all the head band you don't wear a

458
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:02,440
Speaker 3: headband will change our games?

459
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 5: Like fun, it worked for them.

460
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 8: What were you gonna say about Vince Arta, Well, yeah,

461
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 8: Vince on the broadcast was really good. I thought he

462
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:13,920
Speaker 8: brought even the pronunciations out. He said, Nicholas batum, but

463
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 8: he corrected himself Nicola batoum is is how the French

464
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 8: would say it.

465
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 4: So he kept correcting himself and like that he was

466
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:21,360
Speaker 4: on the ball.

467
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 8: And Trey mentioned, you know, the dunk on Frederick Weiss,

468
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 8: the play by play man has to it. It's an

469
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,639
Speaker 8: obligation of the play by play man to mention that

470
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 8: dunk every single game, especially in the gold medal games.

471
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:35,920
Speaker 8: So you know, Bob Fitzgerald mentioned that, of course you

472
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 8: have to, especially with Vince.

473
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:38,400
Speaker 4: Sitting beside you there.

474
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 8: So that was that was well done by those two.

475
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 8: And I just wanted to measure Jason Tatum postgame. He

476
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:45,880
Speaker 8: had an interview and he said, I was watching these

477
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 8: guys win the gold in twenty twelve, twelve when I

478
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 8: was in high school. It's crazy to think that. It's crazy,

479
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 8: crazy just to think, and he gave a shout out

480
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,440
Speaker 8: to Deuce his I think he's two year old son's

481
00:21:57,760 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 8: he said, he's watching right now.

482
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:03,360
Speaker 4: It's the middle of the night in America. Dousa. Yeah,

483
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 4: just chilling, but it is done that.

484
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 8: But it is nuts that you know a lot of

485
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:12,679
Speaker 8: these yeah, guys have just stuck around. As I mentioned,

486
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 8: Kevin Durant's gonna be in the league for nineteen years.

487
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 8: He was winning in twenty twelve, and yeah, it reminded

488
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 8: me of the Canadian national team. Let's give a little

489
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,879
Speaker 8: shout out to the soccer team. Julia Grosso with that

490
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 8: penalty to finish it. She's twenty years old. She said

491
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 8: she was watching Christine Sinclair do her thing in previous

492
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 8: iterations of that team. So Canada winning goal that was

493
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 8: awesome to watch.

494
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:40,159
Speaker 5: Well, let's get to the bronze medal game, which was

495
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:43,119
Speaker 5: weird that it happened after the gold medal game. It

496
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 5: must have just been reasons for like streaming the game

497
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 5: in America at a decent time, right like this, That's

498
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:53,159
Speaker 5: what I guess. But anyway, Patty Mills goes off for

499
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 5: forty two points as Australia beats Slovenia to win bronze,

500
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 5: first Olympic medal in boomers basketball men's history. There, Leally,

501
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 5: you change your tune pretty quick. I know you're fu

502
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:12,119
Speaker 5: up and ratefully saw what you were really not filling

503
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,920
Speaker 5: this game, even the bronze medal chance after you lost

504
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 5: to tim Usa there.

505
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, Look in the aftermath of that game, it

506
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,360
Speaker 7: was it was disappointing. You know, you're not It's hard

507
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 7: to sort of say to yourself, oh, I'm so pumped

508
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 7: we get to play for bronze. You know, we wanted

509
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 7: the bigger prize. But once we got to the game

510
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 7: and it was like, Okay, there's still something to get

511
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 7: out of this, and it was a huge game for

512
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 7: Australia going up against Doncic. Yeah, the emotions come back out,

513
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:37,920
Speaker 7: you know, and you're like, all right, this is what

514
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,160
Speaker 7: we need. We need to make sure that we don't

515
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 7: come away with what would have been a fifth for

516
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,640
Speaker 7: fourth place finish if we hadn't have won that bronze medal.

517
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 6: And Party came out there and just what an.

518
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,880
Speaker 7: Incredible performance to put up forty two in a game

519
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:55,120
Speaker 7: like that that meant so much to Australian basketball, men's

520
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:58,680
Speaker 7: Australian basketball, and he was incredible, but it was never

521
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:02,199
Speaker 7: you know, the Slovenians were close enough, don't you hit

522
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 7: a couple of those threes? And I thought our offense

523
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,639
Speaker 7: in that last quarter really did stagnate a little. I

524
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 7: think Slovenia went seven for seven too at one point there,

525
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 7: and we almost were relying on Patty a little too much.

526
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 6: The ball wasn't moving around.

527
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 7: But fortunately we got out of jail there, got the

528
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,879
Speaker 7: victory and honestly, it's just such a huge moment for

529
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 7: the grandfathers of Australian basketball, the Gayzies, the Shane heels

530
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 7: the Luke Longley's because you know, we used to be

531
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 7: the team the country that was like, we're just happy

532
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 7: to be there and you know, anything we can get

533
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 7: out of this tournament is great, and now we have

534
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 7: real hopes of getting a medal and to get one

535
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 7: here obviously not the biggest one we wanted and hoped for,

536
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 7: but it still represents a real progress from our basketball

537
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:44,639
Speaker 7: culture in Australia.

538
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,120
Speaker 6: So I'm just really happy they did it for those guys.

539
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,880
Speaker 7: You know, they play so hard, they put their heart

540
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 7: on this leave those guys and to see them actually

541
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:56,479
Speaker 7: pull it out and get it, it's just a very

542
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 7: emotional and exciting moment for me and for Australian busbooks.

543
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 7: I say, when we were growing up, we were always like,

544
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 7: we can't compete with these big, big nations, A big nations.

545
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:05,159
Speaker 6: Slovene.

546
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 7: He's got two point one million people and they're incredible

547
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 7: to be at this stage, but you know, we've been

548
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 7: closed before and not been able to do it.

549
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:15,399
Speaker 6: And I'm just so happy for Patty.

550
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:19,120
Speaker 7: He's honestly one of the most popular and loved Australians

551
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,119
Speaker 7: that has ever represented us in our sport. He was

552
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:24,680
Speaker 7: a flag bear of course opening these games with He

553
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 7: shared that of course with Kate Campbell.

554
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:28,880
Speaker 6: I'm not sure what they do for the closing ceremony.

555
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 7: Maybe they just give it to him again, because you know,

556
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 7: this sort of represents potentially his last Olympics too.

557
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 6: I think he's thirty two now.

558
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 7: Maybe he does hang around for a few more years,

559
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 7: but it's almost like for him and Joe Ingalls and

560
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 7: a couple of those older guys, maybe this is the

561
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 7: sort of crowning moment and they don't come back for

562
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:43,680
Speaker 7: another one.

563
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 6: But it's huge. It's huge, it really was.

564
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 7: And watching that game, I was like, oh my god,

565
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 7: don't have a lead the entire game and then get

566
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 7: beaten by like a point or two at the end,

567
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 7: because that's what happened in twenty sixteen in Rio. We

568
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,440
Speaker 7: were leading and then a couple of dodgy foul calls

569
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:03,120
Speaker 7: at the end against Spain and we lost that one,

570
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,439
Speaker 7: and again that felt like a great chance for us.

571
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:08,920
Speaker 7: But no more, no more, we have the medal and

572
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:13,119
Speaker 7: it's just a very very happy moment for Australian basketball fans.

573
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:14,639
Speaker 2: What do you think about this?

574
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:18,879
Speaker 5: From Dale in the stream, Team Bronze medalists are generally

575
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,680
Speaker 5: more happy than silver medalists.

576
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 2: Oh well, I mean some small truth to that.

577
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:30,120
Speaker 7: It's the winning of the bronze versus not winning the gold,

578
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:34,360
Speaker 7: isn't it. I mean, but look, honestly, Australia would rather

579
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 7: have been in the gold medal game. There's no doubt

580
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 7: about it, because you're a chance to win it, and

581
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 7: so if you come up short, that's like, okay, fine,

582
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 7: But I think that was the thing. The other day

583
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,680
Speaker 7: we were up by fifteen points against the United States

584
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 7: and lose by nineteen.

585
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 6: That was kind of what was so deflating about it.

586
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,120
Speaker 7: It was like, oh my god, we were playing so well,

587
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,400
Speaker 7: such great basketball, one terrible quarter and it was just like, ah, man,

588
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 7: I thought we were kind of I didn't you know.

589
00:26:57,760 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 7: We were blown out in the end, blown out after

590
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 7: leading by fifteen in a forty minute game. So for

591
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 7: for the Australian players to sort of then get themselves

592
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:06,680
Speaker 7: back up and ready for this game, to sort of

593
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 7: go out there and.

594
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:10,160
Speaker 6: Fight, you know, that's what we're all feeling all of Yeah.

595
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 5: So I would even say last night it's like gold

596
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 5: medal game, you know. Watching the first quarter, I was

597
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:18,680
Speaker 5: like France felt like the Elk played in the first

598
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,199
Speaker 5: quarter and they were trailing, and I was like, well,

599
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:22,959
Speaker 5: that's that's not good. That's not good, saying I think

600
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 5: they were down four at the end of the first

601
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 5: quarter and I was like, I feel like France elt

602
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 5: played them there, like they had a better quarter overall,

603
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 5: and it's still trailing, and it's like, oh god, it's

604
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 5: got to be it's gotta be disheartening for sure. But

605
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 5: congrats on the medal there, Lely. That is big and

606
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 5: it was awesome because everybody loves Paying Mills.

607
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:38,360
Speaker 2: That's the other part.

608
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:39,920
Speaker 6: I don't know how you can hate the guy.

609
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 5: So I'm sure there's gonna be a lot of Nets

610
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:44,639
Speaker 5: fans suddenly in Australia cheering over.

611
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 7: Kevin Durant and he shared a nice moment after the

612
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 7: metal ceremony was on Kd's Instagram and Patty says, you're tall.

613
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 5: Facts that good.

614
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 7: So so it's great, you know, and can I you

615
00:27:59,880 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 7: know you guys like for the Canadian basketball team as well,

616
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 7: like you know how much.

617
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:07,200
Speaker 6: It would mean to just get to that moment, get.

618
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 5: There, want to exactly the Olympics exactly, the medal exactly,

619
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 5: and that's that's where Australia was for a while.

620
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 6: Though we we you know, we tend to usually make it,

621
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 6: but but we just haven't been closed.

622
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 5: That's because you only have to beat New Zealand to

623
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 5: get into the Olympic.

624
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 7: Yeah, but look that's true, No, but no, but I

625
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:24,400
Speaker 7: mean it's true for the qualifying but once you get there,

626
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 7: then you show you your medal and you're worth And

627
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:29,440
Speaker 7: as I say, four times prior we finished fourth. So

628
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 7: I think we've shown that we can compete. But it

629
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 7: was just securing a medal was what the goal was.

630
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:36,879
Speaker 7: And so we've done that by winning the game and

631
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 7: that's just great. And so Andrew Gays was very emotional

632
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 7: and skeezy. They were playing John farm I know after

633
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 7: the game, you're the voice, John farn.

634
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 5: Incredible play break the ace. Maybe they would have done

635
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 5: that if they won a gold medal. Yeah, but yeah

636
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 5: that's a pretty good second John Farnham, so no doubt. Yeah,

637
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 5: amazing moment. And now the Australians are fired up here

638
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 5: in the chat, I'll tell you, everybody's happy about this

639
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 5: bronze medal and for Patty of course, and people are

640
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 5: saying the new temper boy goes from me to Luca.

641
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, he's some truth to it.

642
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 2: He is a temper boy, oh doubt.

643
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, yeah, he did end up getting a tech

644
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 7: in this game. I think they had one originally and

645
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 7: they changed it to propel it and then Luca got

646
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 7: one anyway, and I think you got five technical fouls

647
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 7: in the tournament. So yeah, a bit angry out there, but.

648
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 8: Yeah, he's gotta cut that. You gotta cut that out

649
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 8: a little bit. You can probably get away with that

650
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 8: in the NBA a little bit more. But it's like

651
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 8: first possession, hands out, you're o euroro hands I'm speaking,

652
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 8: I'm speaking with my hands, yelling.

653
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 4: At the referees. Not a good not a good look. No, no, no.

654
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 8: But I like this comment from Aaron Withers, just to

655
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:51,239
Speaker 8: wrap up little Australia talk August seventh, St. Patti's Day

656
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 8: in Australia.

657
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 5: Now, what time was that game on in Australia?

658
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 7: Le it would have been on It was seven o'clock

Speaker 2: Yeah, so he did the right.

662
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 5: Thing there, flipping those games maybe made no more sense,

663
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 5: right basis?

664
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:12,840

665
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:15,560

666
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 8: on the bench of the Nets. It is nuts, him

667
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 8: and Kevin Durant. You think about that. Patty's gonna be

668
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 8: thirty three soon. He's he's a Leo. He'll be turning

Speaker 2: Question?

681
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 8: You think at first you'd say my buddy gris right

682
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 8: off the get go, and then you'd play it out

684
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,960

Speaker 8: a big four. They're calling it the Lakers a big

00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 8: four with Carmelo Anthony. The Nets have a big four

Speaker 8: they're calling the Lakers a Big four with mellow. Well,

692
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 8: I know it's stupid, but anyways, the Nets are snacked.

693
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 4: They are stacked. We've got Patty Mills coming off the bench.

694
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 8: He's a freaking champ and so you know he won

695
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 8: that title with the Spurs. Now he's coming out. I

696
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 8: just I just look at that Nets team and they're

697
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,520

Speaker 8: serious if they're shopping DeAndre Jordan.

Speaker 4: Now.

718
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 5: Incredible little video package the Raptors put together to sort

719
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 5: of announce him returning and staying with the team. Raptors

720
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 5: also plan on retiring Kyle Lowry's number seven jersey when

721
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 5: his career ends. That was coming by way of the

722
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:52,960
Speaker 5: Athletic And then Ken Birch, everybody's favorite Tree signed with

723
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 5: the Raptors three years, twenty million dollars. That's a lot

724
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:57,960
Speaker 5: of Raptors news there for you. Tasks which one had

725
00:32:58,000 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 5: you most excited?

726
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 4: Well, the kem Birch news, obviously that's a solid signing. Well, that's.

727
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 8: That's a real yeah, a real Canadian on the team.

728
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 8: Good signing Messias. Here you get your own video package.

729
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 8: That's how incredible a job he's done, A real tear

730
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 8: jerker of a video package for an executive and moving

731
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 8: on up in the UH in the hierarchy of the

732
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 8: Raptors and may be leave sports. So good for him

733
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 8: and incredible deuced Raptors fans and Kyle Lowry obviously a

734
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 8: no brainer. The greatest Raptor of all time will have

735
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 8: his jersey retired. Everybody in the world would agree with that.

736
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 8: It is interesting, though, tomar Derozen has not been declared

737
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 8: a guy who's going to get his jersey retired. Obviously

738
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 8: Kyle won a championship, but Tomorrow seemingly would go hand

739
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 8: in hand with Kyle. So I hope, I hope the

740
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 8: Raptors would give or at least at least acknowledge Tomorrow

741
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 8: in some way, just give him a call and say, hey,

742
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 8: we got you too. We didn't announce it, but we

743
00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 8: got you to something. Because I do think there's there's

744
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 8: no doubt. There's no way you retire Kyle Lowers jersey

745
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 8: and don't retire to Mars right, No way.

746
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:12,439
Speaker 5: I mean, I think it's possible, but I think they'll

747
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 5: also eventually retire to Martin Rosen. I'm not the biggest

748
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:17,320
Speaker 5: fan of even saying a guy that's still in the

749
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 5: league to retire numbers like, yeah, no, it's a no brainer,

750
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 5: but it's like sort of weird. People usually though or

751
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 5: not usually, are saying, WHOA, what about Vince what about Vince?

752
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 5: What about Vince? That's all I kept seeing with this

753
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,840
Speaker 5: Lowry news, TK, like of the news that they're going

754
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:35,759
Speaker 5: to retire his number seven, It's like, well, what about

755
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 5: Vince Carter aventures? What about Vince?

756
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 4: What do you think?

757
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 1: Well?

758
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 2: I do think that this is an interesting part about it.

759
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:45,440
Speaker 3: Larry Tannenbaum said that Lowry is going to be the

760
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:47,719
Speaker 3: first one who has his jersey retired as well, And

761
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 3: like you're saying, Skeets, Lowry is an active player. We

762
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:54,439
Speaker 3: know Vince just retired after the last season. So yeah,

763
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:56,719
Speaker 3: I mean, I can understand if you're a long time

764
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 3: Raptors fan saying, how come we're not honoring the guy

765
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:00,959
Speaker 3: who put us on the map, who was there first

766
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:04,319
Speaker 3: in Vince Carter. But Skeetz, you say it all the time.

767
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 3: Kyle Lowry is the greatest Raptor of all time. The

768
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 3: time difference between Vince Carter retiring and Kyle Lowry retiring

769
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:12,440
Speaker 3: is honestly not going to be that different, right, Like,

770
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 3: you can retire Kyle Lowry's jersey in probably four or

771
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 3: five seasons, and then you can do Vince Carter's pretty

772
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:22,720
Speaker 3: much right away afterwards. But bringing the first title to Toronto.

773
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:24,359
Speaker 3: I do think it should be Lowry as the first

774
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:26,239
Speaker 3: guy getting his jersey retired. That's pretty cool that they're

775
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:26,839
Speaker 3: doing it that way.

776
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:30,360
Speaker 5: Ley got Messiah returning, You got this Lowry news that

777
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 5: they're going to retire his jersey at kem Birch, coming

778
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 5: back to the squad, signing that deal. I want to

779
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 5: touch on any of that.

780
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:39,479
Speaker 7: Well, just that Messiah I think is a huge coup

781
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:41,439
Speaker 7: really for the rept is there because I didn't think

782
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:43,360
Speaker 7: he was gonna leave, but this was dragging on a

783
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 7: little bit longer than we thought, so I was starting

784
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 7: to wonder maybe he's going to go somewhere else. But

785
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:50,719
Speaker 7: in the end, he gets a pretty nice deal, gets

786
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:53,120
Speaker 7: a little bit more power, And I mean, I think

787
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:55,759
Speaker 7: the Raptors fan base would be devastated if he did

788
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:58,120
Speaker 7: leave and go and join another team, because look, some

789
00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:01,759
Speaker 7: of these moves that he made. Luck was involved, no doubt.

790
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 7: He basically traded Kyle Lowry and that didn't end up happening.

791
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,960
Speaker 7: So for Messiah Jerry, it's sort of like everything's like, well,

792
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 7: every movie makes is great. That's not we know that's

793
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:12,440
Speaker 7: not the case, but the fact that he won the championship,

794
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:13,920
Speaker 7: and the fact that he did make that move for

795
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,680
Speaker 7: Kawhi Leonard means you want him to be the one

796
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 7: calling the shots for the team for the next however long.

797
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:20,880
Speaker 7: His contract is at least four or five years, so

798
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 7: I think that's great because, yeah, it wouldn't have been

799
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:25,840
Speaker 7: it wouldn't have been a happy day in Toronto if

800
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:27,719
Speaker 7: Messiah Jerry just said I'm out and I'm going to

801
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:30,839
Speaker 7: sign with the Washington Wizards as was I heard they're

802
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:33,440
Speaker 7: going to go through the Yeah, yeah, I didn't think

803
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:35,360
Speaker 7: he was going to Washington, even though apparently his wife's

804
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:37,920
Speaker 7: from that area. But you just wondered if he was like,

805
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:39,719
Speaker 7: you know what, I'm going to go somewhere else and

806
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 7: try again.

807
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:43,880
Speaker 5: But that was always was a concern that he is like, well,

808
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:45,440
Speaker 5: I've done it here in Toronto, Let's see if i

809
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:46,839
Speaker 5: can go do this again somewhere else.

810
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, and you know, there would have been plenty of

811
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 7: offers and big money out there for him as well,

812
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 7: but he preferred to obviously stay there, and I don't

813
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:56,040
Speaker 7: think they did. I don't think they were retired to

814
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:58,840
Speaker 7: Rosen's Jersey, to be honest. I think great nice player,

815
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 7: very nice guy. Loved, But is that retirement worthy? I mean,

816
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:05,759
Speaker 7: you know, I don't think so, and I think so.

817
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 7: I think I think Vince if anyone after Kyle.

818
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:11,959
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think what happens is because the Raptors don't

819
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 5: have any single number retired that once you do the

820
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:19,239
Speaker 5: first one, my gut says, then it gets a little

821
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:22,279
Speaker 5: easier to then honor someone else and then someone like

822
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:24,719
Speaker 5: Deroz and let's say third or something like that. I

823
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:27,320
Speaker 5: think you will ultimately, I think those will be the

824
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 5: three they get retired. Then it's like you get into

825
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:33,360
Speaker 5: like the Bosh territory and I'm like, I don't think so.

826
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 5: I think that's where you start drawing the line. But

827
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:37,200
Speaker 5: I think Deroz eventually will.

828
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:38,800
Speaker 2: Lee, but maybe not.

829
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:40,799
Speaker 5: Maybe not. It doesn't have the writing that's a big part.

830
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:43,319
Speaker 5: But there's lots of teams that honor guys that were

831
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:45,400
Speaker 5: there for a long time that never won a championship.

832
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:46,960
Speaker 5: So it's yeah, they get to make their decision.

833
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:50,360
Speaker 3: Now, are they gonna be the we're honoring franchise legends

834
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:52,480
Speaker 3: regardless of if they put a title in the rafters?

835
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:53,839
Speaker 5: I mean maybe.

836
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:53,960
Speaker 4: So.

837
00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:56,040
Speaker 3: The Bulls are a team that don't have a ton

838
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 3: of jerseys retired. They don't only had two since the

839
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 3: since the you know, the Dynasty era. They didn't retire

840
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:03,960
Speaker 3: a whole bunch of jerseys. Maybe the Raptors go the

841
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:05,319
Speaker 3: same way, or maybe they do it the other way.

842
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 3: And we're talking about retiring like a Jose calder Own's

843
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:10,719
Speaker 3: jersey years and years from now, a guy that was

844
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:12,400
Speaker 3: there for a long long time as well. There have

845
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:14,480
Speaker 3: been a lot of great Raptors like that, right who

846
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 3: should probably be honored in some way, even if they

847
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:19,399
Speaker 3: didn't necessarily reach the pinnacle of the NBA.

848
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:20,879
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, and you can go deep.

849
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:23,759
Speaker 8: Like Isaiah Thomas, first executive for the Raptors, came on

850
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:26,839
Speaker 8: our show. We asked them, should they retire Vince. He said, well,

851
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:30,279
Speaker 8: first they got to retire Damon Stodamier and I traced

852
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 8: Hi McGrady, Marcus Camby, no, Doug Christy. He said, those

853
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:39,719
Speaker 8: four names, those four names because he was a part

854
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 8: of bringing them to Toronto, and hey he drafted, well

855
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:44,720
Speaker 8: Damon Marcus back to back.

856
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:45,680
Speaker 4: Home runs right there.

857
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:48,320
Speaker 8: Those those were real nice, even though the rapt should

858
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:53,080
Speaker 8: have got iverson dumb expansion rules. But yeah, Vince is

859
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 8: more for yeah, putting Toronto on a map, potentially saving

860
00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:01,800
Speaker 8: the franchise, while tomorrow is more just a franchise, sweetheart,

861
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:06,440
Speaker 8: And unlike Vince and unlike Kawhi, who people even talk

862
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 8: about retiring, which I think is a little nutty. He

863
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 8: didn't want to leave, Damar didn't want to leave, so

864
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:15,080
Speaker 8: he could have been a lifer for the Raps All

865
00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:17,160
Speaker 8: Star appearance. After All Star appearance, he only has four.

866
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:20,359
Speaker 8: But hey, that's that's enough in terms of Raptor Land.

867
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 8: So yeah, that's that's the debate.

868
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:25,399
Speaker 5: Well, it's gonna be really weird when DeRozan helps bring

869
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:27,680
Speaker 5: the Bulls of title and then it will be like

870
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:30,520
Speaker 5: Chicago might may beat Toronto to the punch and retire

871
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 5: his history number, right, And I guess it's in play.

872
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:34,439
Speaker 2: It's certainly in play.

873
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 3: I know ten is already retired, so I'm not sure

874
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:38,960
Speaker 3: exactly what Derozane's going to be wearing.

875
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 2: My guess is not ninety one.

876
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:44,520
Speaker 3: Maybe if he runs out there in seventy three, we'll

877
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:47,400
Speaker 3: be seeing it hanging Bulls win seventy three games, DeRozan

878
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 3: in the seventy three put in.

879
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:49,120
Speaker 2: The Raptors dog.

880
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:49,600
Speaker 8: Oh.

881
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:51,800
Speaker 5: This also means I guess if drag its just sticking

882
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:55,719
Speaker 5: around in Toronto. He won't be wearing seven, right, it's

883
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 5: a great where he gonna learn now, Yeah, seventeen maybe ramifications.

884
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:02,600
Speaker 3: Is it gonna be weird to see Andrea Barnjani's number

885
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:03,840
Speaker 3: hanging from the Raptors.

886
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:05,319
Speaker 2: Oh in a way?

887
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 7: Yes, right, maybe that maybe they're a tire number three

888
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 7: then because that was Kyle's first number.

889
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:12,719
Speaker 4: That's right, retire seven. Put a little three in the corner.

890
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 2: It is.

891
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:16,759
Speaker 4: It is interesting, like the Heat that are honoring Chris Bosh.

892
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 8: Chris Bosh's jersey is going to be hanging in Miami, right,

893
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:23,239
Speaker 8: it's already is Oh, they've they've already done it.

894
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:24,239
Speaker 4: That was quick, that's right.

895
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, Miami moves quick with that stuff.

896
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:26,560
Speaker 8: Yeah.

897
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:26,799
Speaker 1: Yeah.

898
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:30,040
Speaker 8: It's like it's like a writer just trying to get

899
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:33,480
Speaker 8: out a story like five minutes after the event, like

900
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 8: as fast as possible. It's like teams are going out

901
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:38,080
Speaker 8: there and saying, we're retiring this jersey. I think that's

902
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:40,120
Speaker 8: what the Heat jumped on that one. So it's how

903
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:42,759
Speaker 8: do you how do you even think about retiring as

904
00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:47,120
Speaker 8: a Raptor organization? To me, I'm I'm a traditionalist. I

905
00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:52,440
Speaker 8: want one jersey retirement one, man, I don't want multiple

906
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 8: jersey retirements for for guys. I know, you know there's

907
00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:58,920
Speaker 8: a few out there obviously, you know the Marivich, you

908
00:40:59,000 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 8: know that kind of thing.

909
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 4: There's a few.

910
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 5: Well, hold on, you don't want, sorry, you don't want

911
00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:06,399
Speaker 5: like Lebron's jersey to be up for Miami. And also

912
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:07,279
Speaker 5: if the Lakers.

913
00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:11,239
Speaker 8: Were special one and he's gonna get yeah, he's gonna

914
00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:14,080
Speaker 8: get three. He's a special one. It should be reserved

915
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:19,239
Speaker 8: for special special guys like fair Raptor. Shouldn't retire bosh

916
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:19,839
Speaker 8: I am oh.

917
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 4: Yeah.

918
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:23,400
Speaker 5: The Heat put up other players jerseys up in there.

919
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:26,080
Speaker 5: That's weird the arena. And I think they do something

920
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:28,440
Speaker 5: for gold medal winners too. I think they have something

921
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 5: that they hang so bamb will get something up there now,

922
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:32,160
Speaker 5: congrats to him.

923
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 3: Interesting and I think uh, I think they retired Dan

924
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:39,400
Speaker 3: Marino's jersey as well, the Miami Heat did, so you

925
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:41,880
Speaker 3: know the thirteen is hanging up there regardless.

926
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 2: Dan Marino. Okay? Cool? I mean the Pistons retire kid

927
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:49,160
Speaker 2: Rocks numbers. So whatever.

928
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 5: Who did Toronto have in the rafters for a while,

929
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:53,959
Speaker 5: is it bon Jovi?

930
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:55,320
Speaker 4: Alright?

931
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:56,160
Speaker 5: Like sellouts.

932
00:41:56,239 --> 00:41:57,000
Speaker 2: It was something like that.

933
00:41:57,520 --> 00:41:59,720
Speaker 6: It was Tyler Swift, wasn't it Los Angeles?

934
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:01,920
Speaker 4: Saylor Swift thought, yeah.

935
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:06,200
Speaker 5: The Raps had somebody it was bon Jovi. It was

936
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 5: something like it was an artist like that where it

937
00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 5: was like, oh, he's a straight sellout. Yeah, see got it,

938
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:17,399
Speaker 5: old man. Okay, let's get to some free agency news

939
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:19,960
Speaker 5: here again. From the last couple of days, I gotta

940
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:23,920
Speaker 5: clump three together with the Clippers. Reggie Jackson signed a

941
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:27,040
Speaker 5: two year, twenty two million dollar deal to stay with

942
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:30,640
Speaker 5: La There and the Clippers. Justice Winslow has agreed to

943
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:32,279
Speaker 5: a two year deal with the Clippers, so they get

944
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:35,400
Speaker 5: him and then Kawi Leonard. By all reports, he's resigning

945
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:37,880
Speaker 5: with the Clippers after opting out of his original contract.

946
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:39,920
Speaker 5: I don't think we know the actual details yet, but

947
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:42,000
Speaker 5: he ain't going anywhere, which is no surprise.

948
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:43,560
Speaker 2: Tasks Clipper moves there.

949
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:45,960
Speaker 8: What do you think, Well, let's fly through. Obviously, Kawhi

950
00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:50,839
Speaker 8: the biggest news. Fantastic for them, just like the Massai news.

951
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:53,279
Speaker 8: Took a little bit of time to get it done.

952
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:55,840
Speaker 8: People a little angry. Why isn't he just resigning and

953
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:58,319
Speaker 8: get it over with and so they can figure out

954
00:42:58,320 --> 00:42:59,879
Speaker 8: the rest of the roster. Well, they figured it out,

955
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:03,720
Speaker 8: and Reggie Jackson is coming back. They rehabilitated Reggie Jackson

956
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:09,560
Speaker 8: to a crazy degree. He was literally released by the

957
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:12,880
Speaker 8: Detroit Pistons and they turned him into a special player

958
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:15,440
Speaker 8: in the playoffs and his post game or yea, his

959
00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:18,440
Speaker 8: post game, also his post season interview where he was

960
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:21,040
Speaker 8: breaking down and crying with what the Clippers did for

961
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:24,879
Speaker 8: him and how special that was for him was Yeah,

962
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:27,879
Speaker 8: it obviously meant a ton to him, and they hope

963
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:30,719
Speaker 8: that they can do that with Justice Winslow as well.

964
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:33,319
Speaker 8: Justice Winslow had been in the league for six years,

965
00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:35,800
Speaker 8: started with the Miami Heat, a number ten pick. He

966
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:38,399
Speaker 8: went to the Memphis Grizzlies and finally played last year,

967
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:42,239
Speaker 8: and he looked okay in those games. But he's a

968
00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:45,440
Speaker 8: far more talented player than he showed. I'm a believer

969
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:48,280
Speaker 8: in that Swiss army knife of a player. He can handle,

970
00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:51,000
Speaker 8: he can take it to the rim, he can obviously defend,

971
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:53,600
Speaker 8: he can defend a lot of positions. That is his

972
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:55,279
Speaker 8: forte and they hope that they can do what they

973
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:57,319
Speaker 8: did with Reggie Jackson with him. And they have an

974
00:43:57,320 --> 00:44:01,080
Speaker 8: assistant that was insistent with the Miami Heat for a

975
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 8: long time. His name is Dan Craig. The Clippers do

976
00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:07,800
Speaker 8: that he's their top assistant and so hopefully that relationship works.

977
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:09,880
Speaker 8: Shane Young pointed that out, and I think that's that's

978
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:11,920
Speaker 8: what they're gonna try and do. I think Justice Winslow

979
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:13,880
Speaker 8: could be big for them. He could come off the

980
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:18,560
Speaker 8: bench and then be part of the starting unit at times.

981
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:21,840
Speaker 8: You see Nikola Batoum there, you know, be a monster.

982
00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:23,960
Speaker 8: I think Justice Winslow could be in that sort of

983
00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:27,279
Speaker 8: same same mold, but he has to be on the floor.

984
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:30,720
Speaker 8: Injuries have really hurt him twenty six games or fewer

985
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:32,800
Speaker 8: in three of his six NBA seasons.

986
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:33,680
Speaker 4: But he's got the talent.

987
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:36,080
Speaker 5: And I believe, what do you think, Trey of just

988
00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:38,279
Speaker 5: these Clippers moves here with Reggie Jackson and then Justice

989
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:40,600
Speaker 5: Winslow specifically pretty good moves.

990
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 3: If they get if the Clippers get playoff Reggie Jackson,

991
00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:46,719
Speaker 3: then this is an incredible deal to be able to

992
00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:49,520
Speaker 3: get him at ten million dollars per season eleven million.

993
00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 2: I suppose he shot.

994
00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:53,440
Speaker 3: Forty point eight percent from three in the playoffs, and

995
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:55,279
Speaker 3: I think every single one was off the dribble with

996
00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:58,160
Speaker 3: the hand in his face like Reggie Jackson, especially once

997
00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:00,640
Speaker 3: Kawhi Leonard went down and there was more more shots

998
00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:03,720
Speaker 3: to be taken. He really sees the opportunity for the Clippers,

999
00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:05,359
Speaker 3: so it's nice to see him get another deal there,

1000
00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:08,600
Speaker 3: and with Kawhi likely out for the majority at least

1001
00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:11,160
Speaker 3: the next season, he's going to have an opportunity to

1002
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:15,600
Speaker 3: continue to produce for the Clippers. And with Justice Winslow,

1003
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:17,960
Speaker 3: you know, he's only twenty five years old. Still at

1004
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:19,880
Speaker 3: the very least he's going to be solid on defense.

1005
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:23,040
Speaker 3: Don't really know what else he totally excels at. I

1006
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:25,560
Speaker 3: think that Terrence Man should be the guy who really

1007
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:29,279
Speaker 3: steps into Kawhi's role while he's out, But Winslow is

1008
00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:31,279
Speaker 3: going to have an opportunity like Tassay and to kind

1009
00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:34,719
Speaker 3: of be a reclamation project along the lines of Nikolobatum.

1010
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:37,600
Speaker 3: Just go out there, play defense, hopefully hit some shots,

1011
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:40,480
Speaker 3: bring the energy, do what Terrence Man was doing in

1012
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:43,439
Speaker 3: the playoffs last year. Just play super hard and raise

1013
00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:46,080
Speaker 3: the level of compete in athleticism for the Clippers out there.

1014
00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:48,440
Speaker 3: So they're not going to be quite as good next

1015
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:50,919
Speaker 3: season as they were this season. With Kawhi going down,

1016
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:53,439
Speaker 3: but they're bringing him back. Surely he'll be a free

1017
00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:56,359
Speaker 3: agent again soon. The guy is a savvy operator. They're

1018
00:45:56,400 --> 00:46:00,160
Speaker 3: doing pretty well to recover from a major injury to

1019
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:00,680
Speaker 3: the Hornets.

1020
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:02,960
Speaker 5: Here Lee a couple moves they made in the last

1021
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:06,040
Speaker 5: couple of days. Kelly Ubre Junior signs with them two years,

1022
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:09,440
Speaker 5: twenty six million, and then Willie Hernan Gormez saigns with

1023
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:12,120
Speaker 5: the Hornets on a three year deal. We found Willy,

1024
00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:15,040
Speaker 5: whereas Willy he's on the Hornets. What do you think

1025
00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:16,120
Speaker 5: of these moves from Charlotte?

1026
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:18,800
Speaker 7: Well, would you rather Devonte Graham at four years and

1027
00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:21,520
Speaker 7: forty seven or Kelly you Bred two years and twenty six? So,

1028
00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:24,120
Speaker 7: I mean, who's a better player out of those two?

1029
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:26,920
Speaker 7: I think Davonte's a slightly better shooter and better playmaker.

1030
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:30,360
Speaker 7: Kelly's probably a better defender and better rebounder. But I

1031
00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:32,920
Speaker 7: think if you're the Hornets, you probably still rather have

1032
00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:35,879
Speaker 7: Davonte Graham. I think so Kelly Ubray, you know, he's

1033
00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:38,759
Speaker 7: bounced around already a lot for a guy early into

1034
00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:42,000
Speaker 7: his career. Somewhat you know, you know what he he's

1035
00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:43,480
Speaker 7: going to do. He's going to hit a few shots

1036
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:46,120
Speaker 7: for a few games, but he doesn't really move the

1037
00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:49,360
Speaker 7: needle all that much too much for anybody. So I

1038
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:51,719
Speaker 7: think for the Hornets it's kind of like, well, we'll

1039
00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:54,239
Speaker 7: grab him, we'll add him too our lineup. But I

1040
00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:57,680
Speaker 7: think honestly, if they could, they'd get Graham back instead

1041
00:46:57,680 --> 00:46:57,920
Speaker 7: of him.

1042
00:46:57,960 --> 00:46:58,399
Speaker 4: I just don't.

1043
00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:01,000
Speaker 6: I'm not a huge Kelly I think that's what it

1044
00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:01,520
Speaker 6: comes down to.

1045
00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:04,080
Speaker 5: I think he's But isn't the idea like the roster

1046
00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:06,319
Speaker 5: construction a little bit? You have lines of ball, You've

1047
00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:10,120
Speaker 5: got Terry Rozier. You know, there's a lot about your

1048
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:13,400
Speaker 5: position there, and maybe Devinte squeezed out a little bit

1049
00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:14,319
Speaker 5: being a smaller guard.

1050
00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:15,759
Speaker 2: You need some help on the wing.

1051
00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:19,120
Speaker 7: Yeah, possibly, possibly, I suppose that's what it is. It's

1052
00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:21,960
Speaker 7: just how much does Kelly change what they already had,

1053
00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:23,880
Speaker 7: you know, or what else does he really give you,

1054
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:26,200
Speaker 7: apart from a little bit of an improvement on defense,

1055
00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:28,680
Speaker 7: a bit of rebounding. So anyway, look, it's the Hornets.

1056
00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:31,359
Speaker 7: They had to sort of do something because they lost

1057
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:34,279
Speaker 7: they lost Graham and they lost somebody else I can't

1058
00:47:34,360 --> 00:47:38,399
Speaker 7: think of right now, Zella. That's right, they're big man, Yeah, okay.

1059
00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:41,080
Speaker 7: So not a great off season here for the Hornets. Yeah,

1060
00:47:41,719 --> 00:47:46,399
Speaker 7: I think they can survive, but you know their their

1061
00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:48,600
Speaker 7: team is really going to be it's it's gonna be

1062
00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:51,960
Speaker 7: Lamello's team already next season. And and if they can

1063
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:53,960
Speaker 7: get Gordon Hayward healthy and playing to the level he

1064
00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:56,200
Speaker 7: played out last season, they're going to be okay. But

1065
00:47:56,920 --> 00:47:59,880
Speaker 7: it doesn't feel like the Hornets have improved this offseason

1066
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:00,880
Speaker 7: really to make.

1067
00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:05,480
Speaker 8: Yeah, I am looking forward to James Bookknight just what

1068
00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:08,520
Speaker 8: I've seen even in Summer League. He's going to contribute

1069
00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:12,600
Speaker 8: a decent amount to the league. He was Charlotte pick,

1070
00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:16,239
Speaker 8: but he moved on to Golden State. But I don't

1071
00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:17,920
Speaker 8: know why I'm even talking about him. Why am I

1072
00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:19,080
Speaker 8: talking about James Bookknight.

1073
00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:21,839
Speaker 4: He's a Hornet, he says? Is he a Hornet? Did

1074
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:23,000
Speaker 4: he not move on to Golden State?

1075
00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:24,680
Speaker 8: Or the Kelly Ubery thing I got to screw up

1076
00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:30,040
Speaker 8: with Kelly Kelly Kelly Ubray was invested heavily by the

1077
00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:32,799
Speaker 8: Golden State Warriors last year. They basically paid eighty million

1078
00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:36,480
Speaker 8: dollars to have Kelly Ubray around, and now he's going

1079
00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:39,040
Speaker 8: to be on his fourth team in four seasons. I

1080
00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:41,080
Speaker 8: think that's a sign that things aren't going right in

1081
00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:42,880
Speaker 8: the Kelly Ubrey world. As talented as he is, I

1082
00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:46,600
Speaker 8: want I want to see him reabuild Tay's image, But yeah,

1083
00:48:46,680 --> 00:48:48,800
Speaker 8: that's going to be tough with the ball to go

1084
00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:52,680
Speaker 8: around with book Night in the Guards, it's I don't know,

1085
00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:55,359
Speaker 8: it's a it's a flyer on him and it's it's

1086
00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:57,799
Speaker 8: it's it's a decent amount of money I picked for him,

1087
00:48:58,120 --> 00:49:01,320
Speaker 8: and he had a decent regular season seemingly with the Warriors,

1088
00:49:01,320 --> 00:49:04,960
Speaker 8: so he put up numbers. But what's going on there?

1089
00:49:05,080 --> 00:49:07,160
Speaker 8: What's going on for four teams in four years?

1090
00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:11,000
Speaker 3: The jumper has never come around for Ubra And if

1091
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:13,520
Speaker 3: it didn't come around when Steph Curry sett me up,

1092
00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:16,279
Speaker 3: it's probably not coming around. But this is great news

1093
00:49:16,320 --> 00:49:19,080
Speaker 3: for Eric Collins because I think Kelly Ubray and Miles

1094
00:49:19,120 --> 00:49:21,360
Speaker 3: Bridges running the wings with LaMelo is.

1095
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:22,040
Speaker 2: Going to be special.

1096
00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:24,600
Speaker 3: Like that's a real good way for Kelly Ubray to

1097
00:49:25,200 --> 00:49:28,440
Speaker 3: kind of rehab his value around the league is to

1098
00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:31,440
Speaker 3: just run, play hard, and just try and get as

1099
00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:34,520
Speaker 3: many incredible highlight dunks as you possibly can, because Eric

1100
00:49:34,600 --> 00:49:37,000
Speaker 3: Collins is really going to sell them as for Billy

1101
00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:39,759
Speaker 3: Hernan Gomez. I can't believe this. I used to be

1102
00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:42,040
Speaker 3: a want show. I think I turned into a Willie here.

1103
00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:44,239
Speaker 3: I don't know, he's a guy I just getting so

1104
00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:46,640
Speaker 3: every time I had him.

1105
00:49:46,640 --> 00:49:49,080
Speaker 5: Going to the Hornets, I had that wrong. He's resigning

1106
00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:53,760
Speaker 5: with the Pelicans. I'm a fool. My fault. He's definitely

1107
00:49:53,840 --> 00:49:58,879
Speaker 5: staying with the Pelicans. I said, exactly, never keep track

1108
00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:02,000
Speaker 5: of them all right, got up there.

1109
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:05,839
Speaker 8: Obviously he was also named Guillermo there officially for a while,

1110
00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:07,239
Speaker 8: so maybe that screwed up things.

1111
00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:10,640
Speaker 4: Willie to Guillermo, he.

1112
00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:13,560
Speaker 5: Is resigning to stay with the Pelicans for three years,

1113
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:14,840
Speaker 5: not going to the Hornets.

1114
00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:15,000
Speaker 3: Lee.

1115
00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:16,520
Speaker 6: It was my fault.

1116
00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:18,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I had that in the dock.

1117
00:50:18,440 --> 00:50:20,080
Speaker 5: I saw people in the stream team saying he's going

1118
00:50:20,200 --> 00:50:22,160
Speaker 5: he stay with the Pelicans, and I just looked it up, like,

1119
00:50:22,200 --> 00:50:24,480
Speaker 5: oh yeah, I wrote the wrong team there. But it's

1120
00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:26,239
Speaker 5: nice to know that you're more of a Willy man now.

1121
00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:27,920
Speaker 2: He changed.

1122
00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:28,839
Speaker 4: I don't know why.

1123
00:50:29,040 --> 00:50:32,600
Speaker 3: Once Wancho went to Minnesota the game changed a little

1124
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:36,640
Speaker 3: bit before me. Uh but yeah, I mean he was

1125
00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:39,359
Speaker 3: a Pelican at one point, wasn't he. Yeah, and he's

1126
00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:41,279
Speaker 3: going to continue to be nice. He can learn from

1127
00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:46,759
Speaker 3: Valentuna's just the smash into people, you know s just

1128
00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:48,839
Speaker 3: smack into guys that it'll work out all.

1129
00:50:48,840 --> 00:50:51,080
Speaker 5: Right, This final one I know I have right andre

1130
00:50:51,160 --> 00:50:55,120
Speaker 5: I Goodala returning to the Warriors. Ah, he's going back, baby,

1131
00:50:55,480 --> 00:50:56,000
Speaker 5: TK What do.

1132
00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:58,360
Speaker 3: You think this is nice for the Warriors? They're not

1133
00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:01,560
Speaker 3: getting the first go around. This time will be thirty

1134
00:51:01,640 --> 00:51:05,959
Speaker 3: eight once the playoffs come around. Iguidala has not shot

1135
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:09,319
Speaker 3: the ball very well for about four seasons, but he's

1136
00:51:09,360 --> 00:51:13,560
Speaker 3: bringing veteranship and institutional knowledge. Doesn't really feel like the

1137
00:51:13,680 --> 00:51:17,479
Speaker 3: Warriors are moving their young pieces. So who better really

1138
00:51:17,640 --> 00:51:21,200
Speaker 3: to teach Wiseman and Kuminga and Moody, maybe even Wiggins

1139
00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:24,239
Speaker 3: how to become a superstar as a role player that's

1140
00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:27,640
Speaker 3: super valuable. You're still gonna trust Iguadala if it comes

1141
00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:29,879
Speaker 3: down to it in the playoffs. Go play a third quarter.

1142
00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:32,000
Speaker 3: We need you to shut somebody down. Maybe he'll make

1143
00:51:32,040 --> 00:51:34,640
Speaker 3: two threes in a fourth or something like that.

1144
00:51:34,920 --> 00:51:36,120
Speaker 2: Found money, And.

1145
00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:38,840
Speaker 3: If the Warriors do end up pulling trades and it

1146
00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:42,719
Speaker 3: ends up being all veterans in Golden State, Iguidala fits

1147
00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:44,880
Speaker 3: there too. This is a pretty low risk move. To

1148
00:51:44,880 --> 00:51:45,920
Speaker 3: get a guy who knows what to do.

1149
00:51:46,360 --> 00:51:48,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, we sort of always knew that he would find

1150
00:51:48,200 --> 00:51:50,839
Speaker 5: his way back there, didn't we leally that Igdolla would

1151
00:51:50,880 --> 00:51:52,799
Speaker 5: return to the Wars. Maybe took a little bit longer

1152
00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:54,000
Speaker 5: than some people thought, but there he is.

1153
00:51:54,640 --> 00:51:56,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, good to see you back there.

1154
00:51:56,640 --> 00:52:00,359
Speaker 7: Yeah, Ikey incredibly really like he's one of those one

1155
00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:01,879
Speaker 7: we talk about. Is he going to the Hall of Fame?

1156
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:05,040
Speaker 7: Probably not, but Iggy's picked up a few championships, He's

1157
00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:08,239
Speaker 7: got that Finals MVP, which really does strengthen his case there.

1158
00:52:08,239 --> 00:52:10,040
Speaker 7: But yeah, the Warriors I think missed him. They're going

1159
00:52:10,080 --> 00:52:12,719
Speaker 7: to absolutely love having him back out there because, as

1160
00:52:12,760 --> 00:52:14,600
Speaker 7: Trey said, he knows what they do, he knows the

1161
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:16,320
Speaker 7: players they run, he knows the role that's going to

1162
00:52:16,320 --> 00:52:20,520
Speaker 7: be expected of him. So pretty pretty low risk, high

1163
00:52:20,600 --> 00:52:21,560
Speaker 7: reward pick up here for.

1164
00:52:21,560 --> 00:52:23,320
Speaker 6: The Warriors and Iggy.

1165
00:52:23,920 --> 00:52:24,680
Speaker 2: You know, yeah, it was.

1166
00:52:24,880 --> 00:52:26,360
Speaker 7: It was kind of funny because he's the sort of

1167
00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:28,279
Speaker 7: guy who holds a bit of a grudge, you know,

1168
00:52:28,520 --> 00:52:31,080
Speaker 7: And so when the Warriors didn't retain him, he thought,

1169
00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:34,200
Speaker 7: I wonder if there is any sort of lingering resentment there,

1170
00:52:34,239 --> 00:52:36,839
Speaker 7: But apparently not. I guess he realized that's his best chance.

1171
00:52:37,560 --> 00:52:40,480
Speaker 7: If he does get another championship, it's probably through the Warriors.

1172
00:52:40,560 --> 00:52:43,799
Speaker 5: So I'm fascinated to see where the Warriors like fall

1173
00:52:44,280 --> 00:52:47,400
Speaker 5: on the like you know, favorites to win a title

1174
00:52:47,480 --> 00:52:49,960
Speaker 5: heading into next year, like where you know, where are

1175
00:52:50,080 --> 00:52:53,759
Speaker 5: they with obviously staff and not because of the good dollar,

1176
00:52:53,800 --> 00:52:56,520
Speaker 5: but you know, dreamlond playing what we saw in the

1177
00:52:56,560 --> 00:52:58,440
Speaker 5: Olympics here, we know we can still play at a

1178
00:52:58,440 --> 00:53:01,719
Speaker 5: pretty high level. You get in the mix, you got

1179
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:03,719
Speaker 5: these young guys who knows that they're still there.

1180
00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:04,759
Speaker 2: Do they do a big move.

1181
00:53:05,719 --> 00:53:07,080
Speaker 5: They'll just be interesting to see where they fall in

1182
00:53:07,120 --> 00:53:09,920
Speaker 5: the pecking order tasks of like of a championship favorite.

1183
00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:11,520
Speaker 5: I feel like they'll there'll be a sort of a

1184
00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:13,600
Speaker 5: forgotten team, I think a little bit.

1185
00:53:14,239 --> 00:53:19,320
Speaker 8: Yeah, I immediately lumped them into those final favorites because

1186
00:53:19,440 --> 00:53:23,120
Speaker 8: they were loved into the Lakers and Brooklyn with teams

1187
00:53:23,160 --> 00:53:26,560
Speaker 8: that wanted andre Iguodala really really badly, So he could

1188
00:53:26,560 --> 00:53:29,200
Speaker 8: have gone there and you know, basically had his uh

1189
00:53:30,200 --> 00:53:32,520
Speaker 8: you know, ticket stamp to at least at Eastern Conference

1190
00:53:32,600 --> 00:53:36,040
Speaker 8: Finals with the Brooklyn Nets at the very least. But yeah,

1191
00:53:36,040 --> 00:53:38,640
Speaker 8: I want to go back to Golden State it's it's yeah,

1192
00:53:38,680 --> 00:53:40,880
Speaker 8: it's a good point. I think the the fact that

1193
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:44,719
Speaker 8: Steph Curry re upped and he's probably doing it because

1194
00:53:44,719 --> 00:53:46,600
Speaker 8: he's making you know, two hundred million dollars, but he's

1195
00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:50,560
Speaker 8: also doing it because he thinks that there's this there's

1196
00:53:50,600 --> 00:53:52,600
Speaker 8: a next phase here. There's the next phase of them

1197
00:53:52,640 --> 00:53:55,440
Speaker 8: potentially get into the to the finals again. And it's

1198
00:53:56,760 --> 00:53:59,520
Speaker 8: it's wide open in a in a way, just like

1199
00:53:59,600 --> 00:54:02,840
Speaker 8: we saw Phoenix get there. There's uh, there's room. You know,

1200
00:54:02,920 --> 00:54:05,439
Speaker 8: the Clippers could have got there. It's there's a there's

1201
00:54:05,480 --> 00:54:08,920
Speaker 8: an opportunity. They'll probably have whatever it is, the fifth,

1202
00:54:09,040 --> 00:54:12,960
Speaker 8: sixth worst odds or best odds I guess in the

1203
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:15,200
Speaker 8: Western Conference. You know Denver will be above them, but

1204
00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:17,719
Speaker 8: they're they're right there, all right.

1205
00:54:17,840 --> 00:54:20,960
Speaker 3: Current odds from Bett MGM. Right now, the Nets are

1206
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:23,680
Speaker 3: the favorite plus two forty, Lakers are the favorite in

1207
00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:26,719
Speaker 3: the Western Conference plus four hundred, and then the Warriors

1208
00:54:26,760 --> 00:54:29,520
Speaker 3: and Bucks are at third at plus nine.

1209
00:54:31,320 --> 00:54:33,160
Speaker 5: Before you did that, like, I think they'll be higher

1210
00:54:33,400 --> 00:54:35,799
Speaker 5: more or or more of a favorite than the Nuggets will,

1211
00:54:35,880 --> 00:54:37,240
Speaker 5: especially with the Jamal Murray injury.

1212
00:54:37,320 --> 00:54:39,520
Speaker 2: But wow, didn't think they'd be that high.

1213
00:54:40,040 --> 00:54:42,719
Speaker 5: Okay, there you go. Well, they're gonna win it all now, good,

1214
00:54:44,080 --> 00:54:46,600
Speaker 5: let's take one more break. We got fun almost like

1215
00:54:46,640 --> 00:54:49,520
Speaker 5: a throwback tweet of the night, so this will be

1216
00:54:49,560 --> 00:54:52,919
Speaker 5: a good one. Don't go anywhere. One more break though, Okay,

1220
00:55:05,920 --> 00:55:09,839
Speaker 5: in the then ACC. I think it's gone now though,

1221
00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:12,800
Speaker 5: but there was one, so wow, right up there with

1222

00:55:17,960 --> 00:55:21,439
Speaker 6: Don't know Atlantic Division for the least.

1224
00:55:21,520 --> 00:55:23,239
Speaker 5: Yeah, oh yeah, those were there for a while. We

1225
00:55:23,239 --> 00:55:25,239
Speaker 5: aren't they I think those are gone? Are those going too?

1226
00:55:25,880 --> 00:55:27,560
Speaker 6: They should pay God, they should be.

1227
00:55:28,560 --> 00:55:28,759
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1228
00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:31,279
Speaker 5: Anyway, I can't believe I remembered it was bon Jovi.

1229
00:55:31,320 --> 00:55:32,239
Speaker 5: I'm pretty happy about that.

1230
00:55:33,280 --> 00:55:36,200
Speaker 2: You see bon Jovi at the a CC Absolutely.

1231
00:55:36,280 --> 00:55:37,840
Speaker 6: I have seen him twice at the a c C.

1232
00:55:37,960 --> 00:55:39,400
Speaker 6: I hope I was a part of that street.

1233
00:55:41,040 --> 00:55:43,879
Speaker 4: You were there for the Jersey retire Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1234
00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:46,719
Speaker 7: One of the best shows you can see live bon Jovi.

1235
00:55:46,880 --> 00:55:47,240
Speaker 6: Awesome.

1236
00:55:47,440 --> 00:55:49,759
Speaker 7: They put in such a good effort, such a great show.

1237
00:55:50,160 --> 00:55:51,600
Speaker 6: We should go and see them together one day?

1238
00:55:52,640 --> 00:55:54,880
Speaker 4: How many I would go with you?

1239
00:55:56,080 --> 00:55:57,000
Speaker 6: You would have a great time.

1240
00:55:57,680 --> 00:56:02,880
Speaker 2: I would the whole time. Ah No, I would be booing.

1241
00:56:02,719 --> 00:56:04,239
Speaker 6: And singing along at the same time.

1242
00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:09,000
Speaker 5: Yeah boo, Yeah, you'd be booing him sitting, is what

1243
00:56:09,040 --> 00:56:09,399
Speaker 5: you're saying.

1244
00:56:10,080 --> 00:56:11,520
Speaker 6: Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah.

1245
00:56:11,760 --> 00:56:13,600
Speaker 7: But Tray wouldn't be able to sit because he'd feel

1246
00:56:13,600 --> 00:56:15,719
Speaker 7: the energy and he'd be up. He'd be standing out there.

1247
00:56:16,200 --> 00:56:17,400
Speaker 7: He'd be channing and singing.

1248
00:56:17,440 --> 00:56:19,640
Speaker 2: Oh yeah.

1249
00:56:20,719 --> 00:56:23,720
Speaker 7: And then when he says, uh, is there a doctor

1250
00:56:23,840 --> 00:56:27,840
Speaker 7: in the house, dink dnk dd diddink.

1251
00:56:27,280 --> 00:56:30,279
Speaker 2: D There's no way you'd be able to say that.

1252
00:56:30,400 --> 00:56:31,920
Speaker 6: It's impossible. It's impossible.

1253
00:56:32,239 --> 00:56:34,759
Speaker 2: I want to see the show at the bon Jovi show.

1254
00:56:36,280 --> 00:56:39,200
Speaker 5: I want to go up to Lee's attic, Leaky Attic

1255
00:56:39,320 --> 00:56:41,360
Speaker 5: and see if there's a bon Jovie banner hanging.

1256
00:56:43,160 --> 00:56:46,640
Speaker 6: How many sold out shows do we say, seventeen? I

1257
00:56:46,719 --> 00:56:47,800
Speaker 6: saw someone in the streams.

1258
00:56:47,960 --> 00:56:49,520
Speaker 4: I don't know, yeah exactly.

1259
00:56:49,840 --> 00:56:52,480
Speaker 8: And as you Quotobe said, seventeen if that's if that's

1260
00:56:52,520 --> 00:56:55,360
Speaker 8: a fact. But they didn't sell any to you rightly,

1261
00:56:55,440 --> 00:56:59,120
Speaker 8: because even though you love bon Joviy, you ain't flying anything.

1262
00:57:00,160 --> 00:57:02,279
Speaker 7: I mean, if I got the free Well, no, we

1263
00:57:02,280 --> 00:57:04,160
Speaker 7: wouldn't have got freebies in Toronto, so I would have

1264
00:57:04,200 --> 00:57:07,520
Speaker 7: had to pay for those, So yeah, yeah, I definitely

1265
00:57:07,520 --> 00:57:09,520
Speaker 7: would have. But at Wembley saw him a couple of

1266
00:57:09,600 --> 00:57:12,320
Speaker 7: years ago. Oh my god, what a show they put on.

1267
00:57:12,400 --> 00:57:16,080
Speaker 7: It was perfect, perfect night, perfect venue. And Johnny Boy

1268
00:57:16,160 --> 00:57:17,919
Speaker 7: brings it for that crowd too, because he didn't play

1269
00:57:18,560 --> 00:57:21,040
Speaker 7: He didn't play better Roses here in Atlanta, which I

1270
00:57:21,120 --> 00:57:24,760
Speaker 7: was a little bit disappointed on. Come on, yeah he did.

1271
00:57:24,800 --> 00:57:27,160
Speaker 7: He did play it at Wembley though, so he saved

1272
00:57:27,200 --> 00:57:29,120
Speaker 7: us for the real big shows. But you know, I

1273
00:57:29,200 --> 00:57:30,120
Speaker 7: still appreciated it.

1274
00:57:30,280 --> 00:57:34,400
Speaker 5: Cool story, bro, Sorry you were frozen there for I

1275
00:57:34,640 --> 00:57:35,280
Speaker 5: think I'm lagging.

1276
00:57:35,320 --> 00:57:35,840
Speaker 6: I've seen them.

1277
00:57:35,920 --> 00:57:38,400
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, we need you to go back to Wembley.

1278
00:57:39,280 --> 00:57:43,840
Speaker 8: Connection had a good comment earlier on It's Iuto tuned,

1279
00:57:43,880 --> 00:57:46,320
Speaker 8: Lee Ellis. If you're watching on you too, he just

00:57:46,440 --> 00:57:50,080
Speaker 8: gets in Genie's already cleaned this up. If you're listening

1281
00:57:50,120 --> 00:57:53,439
Speaker 8: to the part, I don't even know he's really ido

1282
00:57:53,560 --> 00:57:54,800
Speaker 8: tuning every once.

1283
00:57:54,960 --> 00:57:57,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, you were rough at the beginning. When then

1284
00:57:57,200 --> 00:57:58,960
Speaker 5: it was fine for a little bit. Now it's getting

1285
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:01,120
Speaker 5: a little, uh, a little crapy again.

1294
00:58:24,840 --> 00:58:25,840
Speaker 4: Tweet of the night.

1295
00:58:26,600 --> 00:58:30,720
Speaker 5: Wow twitt Okay, Like I said, tweeted night almost like

1296
00:58:30,760 --> 00:58:36,800
Speaker 5: a throwback tweet because I saw at the freak Burner tweet.

1297
00:58:37,800 --> 00:58:40,440
Speaker 5: Look at the date when he posted this, and now

1298
00:58:40,480 --> 00:58:44,160
Speaker 5: we're looking at on the stream team. From Jannis's Instagram

1299
00:58:44,240 --> 00:58:49,400
Speaker 5: account back in twenty fifteen. October twenty fifteen, a screen

1300
00:58:49,480 --> 00:58:54,600
Speaker 5: grab from a show called The Starters that says, over

1301
00:58:54,680 --> 00:58:58,760
Speaker 5: a photo of a young young Yiannis, most overrated player

1302
00:58:58,840 --> 00:59:00,600
Speaker 5: in the league? Question market It was a question we

1303
00:59:00,680 --> 00:59:04,120
Speaker 5: had during our seventy two Burning Questions, our season preview,

1304
00:59:04,720 --> 00:59:07,600
Speaker 5: and I believe it was our guy, our very own

1305
00:59:07,640 --> 00:59:12,200
Speaker 5: Greek tas Millis at the time, picking Yannis as an

1306
00:59:12,280 --> 00:59:14,440
Speaker 5: overrated player. Now, I like this tweet because there's a

1307
00:59:14,440 --> 00:59:15,920
Speaker 5: lot of people that are new to the show that

1308
00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:17,680
Speaker 5: maybe see this on Twitter, like what the hell? Because

1309
00:59:17,720 --> 00:59:19,280
Speaker 5: we got tagged like a million times. This is this,

1310
00:59:19,440 --> 00:59:21,000
Speaker 5: this is the starter, this is no dunks. Now, what

1311
00:59:21,080 --> 00:59:25,120
Speaker 5: the heck's going on here? Explain yourself, basically explain it tasks.

1312
00:59:26,720 --> 00:59:29,040
Speaker 4: Of course it was me. Yeah, and I own up

1313
00:59:29,120 --> 00:59:29,320
Speaker 4: to it.

1314
00:59:29,440 --> 00:59:34,360
Speaker 8: Yeah, twenty fifteen, he was twenty fifteen. I was on

1315
00:59:34,520 --> 00:59:37,479
Speaker 8: the starter's desk, asked the question who is the most

1316
00:59:37,720 --> 00:59:42,000
Speaker 8: overrated player in the NBA, and my far too much

1317
00:59:42,160 --> 00:59:47,360
Speaker 8: makeup face said Yanni, said Teta Kumpo. Because my reasoning

1318
00:59:47,560 --> 00:59:50,400
Speaker 8: was coming off his second season in the NBA scored

1319
00:59:50,480 --> 00:59:54,560
Speaker 8: twelve point seven points. I just said that people out

1320
00:59:54,640 --> 00:59:58,200
Speaker 8: there in the world were watching his highlights.

1321
00:59:57,960 --> 01:00:02,320
Speaker 4: And obviously I'm not a dummy head.

1322
01:00:02,400 --> 01:00:04,000
Speaker 8: I knew he was going to get better in his

1323
01:00:04,120 --> 01:00:06,440
Speaker 8: third and fourth and fifth year in the NBA, But

1324
01:00:06,600 --> 01:00:10,320
Speaker 8: at that point, people were watching his vine highlights.

1325
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:12,200
Speaker 4: And saying, this guy is a Hall of Famer, He's

1326
01:00:12,240 --> 01:00:13,320
Speaker 4: the best player in the world.

1327
01:00:13,360 --> 01:00:16,760
Speaker 8: He wasn't anywhere close to that, and Yaisakupo was an

1328
01:00:16,840 --> 01:00:20,840
Speaker 8: incredible guy to get in the gym and grow and

1329
01:00:21,200 --> 01:00:23,800
Speaker 8: be better. So yeah, at the time, it's all how

1330
01:00:23,880 --> 01:00:26,840
Speaker 8: you look at that dumb word of overrated. So in

1331
01:00:26,960 --> 01:00:30,680
Speaker 8: the world of basketball. At that time, I was on

1332
01:00:30,760 --> 01:00:33,560
Speaker 8: the internet, probably more than I am today. I was

1333
01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:37,440
Speaker 8: soaking up people's thoughts and they're sharing of vines out

1334
01:00:37,480 --> 01:00:40,240
Speaker 8: there and how they loved Giannis's game and blah blah blah.

1335
01:00:40,480 --> 01:00:41,080
Speaker 4: But he wasn't that.

1336
01:00:41,200 --> 01:00:42,880
Speaker 8: He wasn't an All Star. People talked about him like

1337
01:00:42,920 --> 01:00:44,360
Speaker 8: he was an All Star and he just wasn't that.

1338
01:00:44,480 --> 01:00:47,640
Speaker 8: So I mentioned that, and Yanice obviously posted it and

1339
01:00:48,080 --> 01:00:50,120
Speaker 8: grew to the player that he is today. He used

1340
01:00:50,160 --> 01:00:51,200
Speaker 8: those things as motivation.

1341
01:00:51,600 --> 01:00:52,000
Speaker 6: I remember.

1342
01:00:52,280 --> 01:00:55,439
Speaker 8: I also was asked if he was the best Greek

1343
01:00:55,560 --> 01:00:58,120
Speaker 8: basketball player of all time, and there's a Greek basketball

1344
01:00:58,200 --> 01:01:01,240
Speaker 8: player in the Hall of Fame named Nico, So at

1345
01:01:01,280 --> 01:01:04,040
Speaker 8: that point, no, he wasn't. And I tweeted about it,

1346
01:01:04,280 --> 01:01:07,400
Speaker 8: and he also retweeted it and said, I'm using this

1347
01:01:07,520 --> 01:01:10,880
Speaker 8: as motivation. But he's such a good sport that in

1348
01:01:10,960 --> 01:01:13,880
Speaker 8: twenty nineteen when we gave him the start He's MVP

1349
01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:16,000
Speaker 8: award because he was the best player in the league.

1350
01:01:16,520 --> 01:01:19,600
Speaker 8: He accepted it, and you know, there was a little

1351
01:01:19,680 --> 01:01:22,880
Speaker 8: little grudging message for me, JD if we could roll it.

1352
01:01:23,360 --> 01:01:25,920
Speaker 1: First of all, I want to thank that's Melis. If

1353
01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:28,280
Speaker 1: he didn't know me, he was my He was my

1354
01:01:28,400 --> 01:01:32,840
Speaker 1: source of motivation. He was one of the reasons that

1355
01:01:32,920 --> 01:01:35,200
Speaker 1: I got better every day. I liked myself in the

1356
01:01:35,280 --> 01:01:40,200
Speaker 1: gym sixty eight hours a day, and that definitely helped

1357
01:01:40,240 --> 01:01:43,280
Speaker 1: me win this award. I hear Mostvalable Flair of the year.

1358
01:01:44,200 --> 01:01:47,720
Speaker 4: Uh, it's for me, Thank you. Starts look at that

1359
01:01:48,120 --> 01:01:50,360
Speaker 4: never hating on you. Yet he never hating.

1360
01:01:50,440 --> 01:01:53,120
Speaker 5: I actually forgot that he like you know, really calls

1361
01:01:53,160 --> 01:01:54,760
Speaker 5: you out by name there and like leans into the

1362
01:01:54,800 --> 01:01:56,520
Speaker 5: bit and stuff like that. You are a part of

1363
01:01:56,600 --> 01:01:58,800
Speaker 5: his origin story of Sarah's pointing out here it's ass.

1364
01:01:59,480 --> 01:02:02,560
Speaker 4: Yeah. You know we came up at the same time

1365
01:02:02,880 --> 01:02:05,200
Speaker 4: in the NBA world, me and Yannis. You know we

1366
01:02:06,400 --> 01:02:07,360
Speaker 4: I was on NBA TV.

1367
01:02:07,520 --> 01:02:10,120
Speaker 8: Gotta I gotta talk about these dumb things. Yeah right,

1368
01:02:10,160 --> 01:02:12,920
Speaker 8: we know we have to talk about the most overrated players.

1369
01:02:12,920 --> 01:02:14,680
Speaker 8: So yeah, he was on the show way back when

1370
01:02:15,040 --> 01:02:18,240
Speaker 8: he accepted. I believe we gave him the most Improved

1371
01:02:18,320 --> 01:02:22,000
Speaker 8: Player award as well. On the start he's at least

1372
01:02:22,040 --> 01:02:25,160
Speaker 8: the years before or two years before that. So yeah,

1373
01:02:25,240 --> 01:02:27,680
Speaker 8: he was what a good sport to be able to

1374
01:02:27,760 --> 01:02:30,640
Speaker 8: do that. Some players would say, go that guy.

1375
01:02:30,720 --> 01:02:32,440
Speaker 4: No way, no way when they get the.

1376
01:02:32,520 --> 01:02:34,800
Speaker 8: Request from the PR team, Hey do you want to

1377
01:02:35,120 --> 01:02:36,760
Speaker 8: you want to hold up this trophy to the camera

1378
01:02:36,880 --> 01:02:40,880
Speaker 8: and say I accept this award. Most guys, ninety percent

1379
01:02:40,920 --> 01:02:43,200
Speaker 8: of them, would say if they, if they, if somebody

1380
01:02:43,240 --> 01:02:47,080
Speaker 8: had talked poorly about them, you'd say screw that. But yeah,

1381
01:02:47,120 --> 01:02:50,800
Speaker 8: obviously Yanni's bigger man than me, that's for sure.

1382
01:02:51,600 --> 01:02:55,920
Speaker 3: And bigger hands than basically anybody. That trophy looks tiny

1383
01:02:56,040 --> 01:02:56,600
Speaker 3: in his hands.

1384
01:02:56,640 --> 01:03:00,840
Speaker 2: It's like it's like a tiny little thank you, and

1385
01:03:00,960 --> 01:03:03,280
Speaker 2: he's got like a giant grin on his face the

1386
01:03:03,320 --> 01:03:04,560
Speaker 2: whole time. He's loving it.

1387
01:03:04,680 --> 01:03:04,840
Speaker 4: Man.

1388
01:03:05,200 --> 01:03:07,400
Speaker 3: Uh and yeah, tell us, I actually hadn't thought about that.

1389
01:03:07,800 --> 01:03:10,400
Speaker 3: Jannis was a rookie when we were rookies. It's crazy

1390
01:03:10,440 --> 01:03:11,720
Speaker 3: to think we brought him in. And I think we've

1391
01:03:11,760 --> 01:03:13,880
