1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,400
Speaker 1: We had championship Sunday this past weekend, and you're super side.

2
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:07,880
Speaker 1: I mean, you know ramp downturn and third quarter came

3
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:09,880
Speaker 1: back to win. We'll host the super Bowl. We're not

4
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:12,119
Speaker 1: you know, they're not leaving so far. It's still gonna

5
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:13,360
Speaker 1: be a road game for him, just like it was

6
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 1: when the nine that was strifling to that was bad.

7
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 1: But you gotta think that all the compton of forty

8
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 1: Niners man for reasons that if you don't know, I'm

9
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 1: not about to sit here and ex okay, and that's

10
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:26,279
Speaker 1: what you have to understand about team affiliations. Don't understand

11
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 1: about this thing, don't period. Welcome to West Burner. We

12
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 1: we're smoking the loudest pack of basketball news that you

13
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 1: won't find any whe else on the planet. Now. As

14
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:38,239
Speaker 1: you can tell, I'm light skinning, but I am not

15
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 1: Matt Barnes. Matt and Stacker on vacation right now, edibles relaxing,

16
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: reclined to do whatever they like to do. I'm Josiah Johnson,

17
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: better known as King Josiah fifty four on social media,

18
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 1: and I'm joined by NBA champion. You see that legend

19
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: one of my o g s Jolani McCoy. What's that.

20
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 1: God is good? God is really good. Guy, It is

21
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: real good. So without further ado, we're gonna get this

22
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: thing kicked off and started. NBA All Star starters were

23
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: announced last week. Lebron fans stepped up to the challenge

24
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: got him in for his eighteenth straight time, which his

25
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: NBA record. Now, when you look at that All Star squad,

26
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,320
Speaker 1: it's it's pretty usual. Suspectically had some guys that they're

27
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,559
Speaker 1: broke through. Shout out to ice train tomorrow on the East,

28
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,680
Speaker 1: KD honest NB rounding out that squad. Now we have

29
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 1: Lebron Joker Steph but a name that you know. Some

30
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: may have been surprised by Andrew Wiggins snuck in the Warriors.

31
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 1: Fans really did their due diligence, use their tech expertise

32
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: to get Wiggins in there. But I want to ask

33
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: you Joe actually played in the NBA. When you look

34
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 1: at the way that the All Star starter voting is

35
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: broken down, fans account for fift players get and media

36
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: a lot of whom never got in a bucket in

37
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 1: their life at any level. Again, when you see a

38
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: guy like Wiggins and Wiggins having a great year, So

39
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: no knock to him. But do you think that the

40
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: All Star voting starting process needs to be adjusted or

41
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: changed at all? I think they need to start looking

42
00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: at some other other creative ways. Um Wiggins, although he's

43
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: having a great years playing on one of the top teams,

44
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: I don't think. I think we were discussing earlier. I

45
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 1: don't think he's the worst All Stars All Star selection

46
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: started that the fans have put in place as a starter.

47
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: But he did jump over Devin Booker, you know what

48
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,920
Speaker 1: I mean, and that's a big hole. Well Devin Bookers

49
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:18,639
Speaker 1: as well. He's on the second test or you know,

50
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: they flip flop between one and two during the year,

51
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 1: So fans gonna have to come up off with some

52
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: of that. If that, If that's gonna if that's the selections,

53
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 1: they're gonna make. How you feel about it, Well, if

54
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: I'm Andrew Wiggins, I'm super happy that I decided to

55
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: get the vaccine because remember he didn't want to it first,

56
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: but now that he's getting that All Star baggage as well.

57
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 1: But if I'm Devin Booker's sons, obviously top team in

58
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 1: the NBA right now, no All Star starters, that's kind

59
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 1: of egregious, especially for a community in the league that

60
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,399
Speaker 1: that embraces winning. We talked about winning all the time.

61
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 1: Sons are having a great year CP three obviously helping

62
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,919
Speaker 1: Engineer's quite along with Aiden, And for me, if I'm

63
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: Devin Booker, I'm feeling like that's that's some light skinned

64
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: slander and it's like I'm opening my Drake ship. At

65
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: that point, you have to be like, you know, I

66
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 1: sensive an emotional Yeah, you have to turn a little

67
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: light scan on the situation like that. What else does

68
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: he have to prove he had a good But I

69
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 1: feel like he had a good bubble that made a

70
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:08,239
Speaker 1: good run last year with him playing Robbing the Batman's

71
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: uh two. CP three is Batman, So I feel like

72
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: Devin should be mad. But I feel like every year

73
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: there's somebody that ship gets piste up, piste off, the

74
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: ends up, elevating their game is dame one year, you

75
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: know what I mean. Now, Devin Booker might fall into

76
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: this situation, But I'm happy for Andrew Wiggins. He was

77
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 1: the number one pick. People didn't even feel like he

78
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 1: was worthy of, you know what I mean, being in

79
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: the league at one point. But now he's getting an

80
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: opportunity to represent, you know, the Garden State Warriors, whether

81
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: that be the techie software or whatever it is that

82
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: they're doing. He's getting an opportunity to you know, be

83
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: a beacon for that team. So hats off. Yeah, No,

84
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: not to Wiggins. I definitely thought he was. He was

85
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: an All Star. Me and Gilbert Arena has actually had

86
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: this conversation and I was like, you know, the way

87
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: he's playing, true shooting percentage, I think close to just

88
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: being being a stalwart on the defensive end, helping to

89
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: leave this Warrior squad, which is a hot pack of

90
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: ass last year now top two, top two in the West.

91
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: And before we move on, we can't we can't not

92
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: ignowed this. John Morant a phenomenal season in the NBP discussion,

93
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: really out there getting it. You know, the dude with

94
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: the long dredge. He's representing for the Twisties right now.

95
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: I didn't think the eyebrows. Yeah, I didn't think that

96
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: we've seen a high level of Twisty with an eyebrow

97
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 1: slash player this caliber until we've seen until we've seen

98
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: John Moran. It's been a minute. I can't think of

99
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: one's here and there. But yeah, he's he's doing a

100
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: great job. She deserves he spent some time away from

101
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:30,840
Speaker 1: the game. I know he went through it with the

102
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: Grizzlies home base for a minute when he missed a

103
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 1: couple of games. But he came back on fire. And

104
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: it seems like the more attention he gets, the more

105
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,359
Speaker 1: he rises his game steps up to the level. And

106
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 1: I think that goes to the you know, I think

107
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: the mid major point guards are psychotic for some reason.

108
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 1: I think them having to be the extension of a

109
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 1: coach and mid majors and run systems, you know, make

110
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 1: five passes and all that good ship before they can

111
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 1: do that because they don't have five star players playing

112
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 1: with him, I think they're there. They do well on

113
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 1: the stage for whatever reason. I'm proud of him, you know,

114
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: hats off to him, and you know, Scots Lem, he

115
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 1: should be a He's gonna be hard to knock out

116
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: of that All star started small for a minute now

117
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 1: for sure. He shout out to Rasha Phillips, who was

118
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 1: big on job coming out of the draft. Norman what

119
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 1: shot said stuff. You know, I'm like, okay, I'm I'm

120
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: gonna roll with this dude. I don't really you know

121
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 1: too much about job playing the Murray State, but saw

122
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 1: him do his thing in the tournament, and now he's

123
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 1: out there getting it. Got the Grizzlies in contention. I

124
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 1: don't know if if anybody's gonna be fearing them in

125
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,359
Speaker 1: the playoffs, but but it's that good vibe from the Grizzlies,

126
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: that GrITT and hustle, whatever that is. And they got

127
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 1: him back into contention nobody. I don't think they planted

128
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: on them being this early in their trajectory right now. Yeah,

129
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: for sure, more definitely, And we got All Star reserves

130
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 1: getting announced later this week. The NBA may have led

131
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: it leak that LaMelo ball appearance, and I don't have

132
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 1: no problem with that. He's doing work Chino Hills Findings

133
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: shot out players coming to fruition it really but we

134
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: got other guys also looking to make their first team.

135
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 1: Darius Garland, who got the calf's top three in the

136
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 1: East right now, that's probably the bigger plan. He playing

137
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: his ass off right now, you know what I mean

138
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 1: a lot of people. I think the Lakers were supposed

139
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 1: to you know, we're looking to consider him at one

140
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 1: point in that draft. But shout out j B. He's

141
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,600
Speaker 1: doing a good job with that team. And yeah, he's

142
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 1: definitely somebody that should be on the reserves. Yeah, most off.

143
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: And then we've also got Fred Van Fleet putting up

144
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 1: twenty two, five and seven this year. And you know,

145
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: Mike got Harme rolling with generational talent, some of comparing

146
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: them to the next m J and I wouldn't say

147
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 1: that's too far fetched a man Edwards, Yeah, man, I

148
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 1: mean this the grill sandwich is the nutshots on the

149
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: dumb man consistently, consistently the twenty three, you know, for

150
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: just the joy that he plays with. That's what I

151
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: like about this new crop of players is the joy

152
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 1: that they bring to the game. We went through a

153
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: patch of where we were a lot of entitlement during

154
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:42,919
Speaker 1: the game. You know, a lot of people got to

155
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: the All Star and we're perennial All Star selections, still

156
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: having that entitlement, you know, in the game. But I

157
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 1: like this new gratchet of young players. They seem to

158
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: be real hoopers and I feel like you know, Lamello

159
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 1: a man, Darius Garland, I feel like the game is

160
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 1: in the right place with some of these youngsters. I

161
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 1: mean It's crazy seeing how how quickly these young guys

162
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: have developed and also just have this mentality where they

163
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: will bust your ass. They do not care, they don't

164
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,039
Speaker 1: And LaMelo especially just coming with the slag swag, the

165
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: lime green with the matching owning it. I mean, you

166
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: know that's just super Bailer level things you can't teach, right,

167
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: That's Dion Sanders type ship for sure of me. Like

168
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: you know, walking in there and owning it and knowing

169
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 1: you're a little loud, you know what I mean, slice,

170
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 1: like you smoke some loud. You're walking into somewhere. It's burden. Yeah,

171
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 1: you're walking into somewhere. You know, you loud? You know

172
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 1: what I mean? You gotta own that, you know what

173
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: I mean? You know your presentation has gotta be put

174
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: together and you gotta perform. And that things what he's

175
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 1: he's been doing that since he has a baby daughter.

176
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: So I need to know who else do you think

177
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 1: gotta be guaranteed? Locks gotta make this All Star game.

178
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: I notice in Cleveland, Like I'm kind of excited. I

179
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: know I've been down on Cleveland, but I'm gonna turn up.

180
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: We're gonna get it in, get our flares out. You know, yeah, man,

181
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: Cleveland deserves this. They survived the Lebron James down years

182
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 1: and now they're building up a whole new brand for themselves.

183
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 1: A couple of All star reserves that I can think of.

184
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: I mean, we name them like Anthony Edwards, you know

185
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 1: what I mean? Those are the guys I like. I

186
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: like Fred What fran Van Fleets doing, you know what

187
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: I mean? Depleting in Toronto, still holding it down. The

188
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 1: Celtics are are struggling right now. We know that Jason Tatum,

189
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: he gotta slide in. You know, Brown is probably gonna

190
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: get squeezed. But you know, you might be Their team

191
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 1: isn't shout out to Nate, you know we're talking about earlier.

192
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 1: Their team just isn't good enough right now for them

193
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 1: to have two selections. But I would like to throw

194
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: those names in. There is just shooes in, but those guys.

195
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: You know, the league has been an interesting year, up

196
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: and down with the standings and the schedules, people in

197
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: and out. So um, yeah, it's probably gonna be Jackson

198
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 1: Tatum or you know Brown? Is anybody else come to

199
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: mind for you? Honestly? Man? Uh, you know, just the usual.

200
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 1: It's the usual. It's tough. I mean you look, you

201
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: look at this Laker squad and in a d and

202
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: Westbrook obviously haven't had great years so far. So you know,

203
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:51,559
Speaker 1: just seeing some of the guys now, I'm a big

204
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: fan of kind of this turnover, right, it's kind of

205
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: changing of the guarden. Now, these young dudes were last

206
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: year if you would have said All Star, you know

207
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: maybe I know he got snubbed out for Rickie the year,

208
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: but just came back with a vengeance this year. Got

209
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,439
Speaker 1: the Timberwools contention now to be one of those top

210
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: ten teams to make the playoffs. And I'm a big

211
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 1: LaMelo guys, you guys, and I was paying sixties seventy

212
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: dollars a big baller brand before. Yeah, he was no discount,

213
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 1: he really, he was proud of it. Discount still got

214
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: still got the merched that in your lane shirts everything

215
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 1: like that. So I think it's gonna be a fun game.

216
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 1: And I know a lot of people are are big

217
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: on Cleveland. I think Cleveland's gonna be fun. Man, it's

218
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,199
Speaker 1: gonna gonna be a show. Brown has had a good

219
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 1: year Cleveland as a sports town. So it's you know

220
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,199
Speaker 1: it'll be their chance to show out and prove that

221
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 1: you know, they they they they're worthy of. You know,

222
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: all the accoladers they're getting right now and all the attention.

223
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 1: Now as we mentioned, k D top vot getter in

224
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: the East, will be a captain, will not be playing

225
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 1: in the game most likely, And we gotta talk about

226
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: the Nets man. The Nets, I think came in as

227
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: as title contenders. They were the top squad in the East.

228
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 1: Nobody wanted that fade. Obviously, Kyrie and his vaccination status

229
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 1: and not playing in the Nets eventually caven and let

230
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 1: them come because they need to get some of those dubs.

231
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 1: They currently six in the East right now, lost six

232
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 1: of the last ten in the midst of a five

233
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,559
Speaker 1: game road trip. That song, you know, trigg off a

234
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: game to the Warriors. They've got the Sons, Kings, Jazz,

235
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: and Nuggets, so you know, at least one win on

236
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 1: on the on that docket with with the Kings on

237
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 1: their Kyrie playing his longest trigger games this season. East

238
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 1: is a huge traffic gym. You know, the Nets are

239
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 1: two point five games away from from being the Heat,

240
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 1: or from being from top of the Heat or the

241
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 1: top of the conference. How big of a deal this

242
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 1: road trip for the Nets. I mean, this will be

243
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 1: the largest sample size we get to see if Kyrie,

244
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, With James being out with

245
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,439
Speaker 1: the hand injury, with Katie being out, I mean, this

246
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 1: is all clear. You know, maybe this forces Kyrie to

247
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 1: take the vaccine because he's all by hisself right now

248
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,199
Speaker 1: with James in and out of the lineup. He shoulder

249
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 1: in the majority of the lord the low. You can

250
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 1: see him working out before games, you know what I mean,

251
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 1: trying to get locked in and doing whatever you can

252
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 1: to do to help his team. But I just think,

253
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 1: you know, this is gonna be the biggest sample size

254
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 1: that we'll see of Kyrie this year. And I think

255
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,719
Speaker 1: as it pertains to him taking his vaccination status, I

256
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 1: think this will put him in a different position because

257
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 1: like he will have played, he will have some games

258
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 1: to get some composition on the West ground trip, being

259
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: around the fellas on the road, you know what I mean,

260
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 1: it's a different it's a different bonding experience. So I

261
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: don't see how he plays well in this stretch or

262
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: the team plays well, and then he goes and disappears

263
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 1: for you know what, I mean for the rest of

264
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 1: the seas of the home game. I think this is

265
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 1: gonna be a live page with Kyrie, and it's just

266
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: gonna be interesting to see how it falls out, because

267
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 1: they do need him, I mean, knowing how much that

268
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: Kyrie loves hooping, and I want to ask you this,

269
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,079
Speaker 1: do you think that he's gonna play a home game

270
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: this year? Because depending on how this shakes out, they

271
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 1: don't finish in that top four, and now they're playing

272
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 1: the whole post season. You know, with only getting three

273
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 1: home games as opposed to four, that could that could

274
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,959
Speaker 1: be a different That's what I mean. It's gonna be

275
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 1: interesting to get that up in you who you know

276
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: what I mean, to get her back around the guys,

277
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 1: to get back to hooping after the after the long layoff,

278
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 1: and just to go say I'm gonna go sit back down.

279
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,439
Speaker 1: I mean, I know he's strong, he's got his convictions,

280
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 1: you know what, he what he wants to do with

281
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,079
Speaker 1: his body. But as a competitor, I just think that

282
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,319
Speaker 1: I just don't see that happening. That's just gonna be tough,

283
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Don't come back around home

284
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 1: and start getting buckets. They're gonna start talking about him.

285
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 1: You know, they're gonna start buying the shoes again. You know,

286
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 1: shoe sales probably gonna go up on this West Coast

287
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 1: strings swing. So I think I just don't see him

288
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 1: sitting back down after this. And the question I would

289
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 1: say if he decides, you know, I'm not gonna get

290
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: the Vacs and then you're the Nets. Do you want

291
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 1: to just finish the fifth or worse in the East now,

292
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 1: so you get more road games and you get more

293
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 1: potential Kyrie, you start those, you know, get those first

294
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:29,559
Speaker 1: two one. That's that's a serious consideration you have to make,

295
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. They have been able to

296
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 1: bend for him anyway, They didn't want him around totally.

297
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 1: Then they found the clause where he could play, you know,

298
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: on the rug games. So I think I think they're

299
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 1: gonna take Kyrie however they can tacking. Long story short,

300
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 1: and let's take a look at the rest of the East. Obviously,

301
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 1: we got the Heat the top spot, followed by the Bulls,

302
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 1: who you know, dealing with some some injury issues, six Ers,

303
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 1: MBS out here really getting it. Ben Simmons no deal

304
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: looking imminent, which is very you know, if if I'm

305
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 1: Darryl Moore, I might I might have to stick back

306
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,959
Speaker 1: and kick it for a little bit. Ben, sweat it

307
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 1: out my deal that are getting off? Nah, it's not enough.

308
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:03,959
Speaker 1: And at the end of the day, you're in a

309
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 1: unique situation where Joel Embiad is playing out of his mind,

310
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 1: you know, and he's making up for Ben Simmons loss.

311
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 1: You know, you're still gonna need a couple of other

312
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 1: players to step up, just making some bread, you know

313
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 1: what I mean. So, but I have to deal with that.

314
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 1: But Joel Embiad is making us forget about the Ben

315
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: Simmons saga, love kid, you know what I mean. And

316
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 1: I feel like if I'm more like you said, I'm

317
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: not taking them deal is if he's playing like how

318
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 1: he's playing right now, if y'all don't get it how

319
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 1: I need it, perhaps you know what I mean, I

320
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 1: might just cross my hands and do nothing. So it's

321
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:36,679
Speaker 1: trifling how it's going down. But unfortunately, out of this

322
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 1: bad situation, a great thing has happening as well. We're

323
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 1: getting the m v p uh that everybody thought joelanb

324
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:44,679
Speaker 1: would be, you know what I mean, two to three

325
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:46,959
Speaker 1: years ago. We're seeing that guy now and the hell legit?

326
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 1: Do you think that the Calves are We also got

327
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:50,679
Speaker 1: the Bucks weren't playing well, but I want to act

328
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 1: you Calves, Yeah, is this for real? Or is this

329
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: kind of one of those feel good stories that they're

330
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 1: gonna start to you know, solely but surely of the

331
00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:00,959
Speaker 1: season where the injuries could help, like Chicago, you know,

332
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 1: shout out you know that, you know, Grayson Allen, did

333
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? The East East Eastern Conference

334
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 1: the biggest service you know, you know what I mean?

335
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 1: They could with that foul by knocking out the Caruso,

336
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: and they got so many other players out the line up.

337
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 1: But I think if Cleveland can stay healthy, they play hard,

338
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: and they play hard and match up with everything they got,

339
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 1: good size, they got, you know, mobile can switch out

340
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: on the perimeter and do something. So I feel like

341
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 1: if they come up against the team who's got people

342
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 1: in and out the line up during the playoffs, they

343
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 1: might be able to knock somebody off. They're not going

344
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 1: to the Eastern Conference finals, you know what I mean.

345
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 1: I hope they do, you know, shout out to j

346
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 1: BNM if they do. But I personally don't think so.

347
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 1: But I think they got a chance to surprise somebody

348
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 1: in the early round. And last, but not least, Milwaukee Bucks. Milwaukee,

349
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: if any champions actually got their first championship in fifty years.

350
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 1: It feels like Yannest doesn't get the love and respect

351
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: that he deserves as a player that you know every

352
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 1: year m v P Caliber developing different levels of his game.

353
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 1: Is this squad legit or or you know, they just

354
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: accept that championship. We'll see y'all fifty more years. Well,

355
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 1: you've been around Milwaukee a lot because Pops, you know,

356
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 1: works for You were around the championship run last year.

357
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 1: I appreciate. Yes, you've seen Janice even make incremental strides

358
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 1: during the finals when he didn't have it going, when

359
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 1: he had to adjust this game, when he had to

360
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 1: play awkward and take shots that he was not comfortable taking,

361
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: just for you know, the signs of the basketball game.

362
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 1: I like the Bucks, you know what I mean too.

363
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 1: I think they have done a good job of replacing

364
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 1: p J. Tucker's energy and a couple of other veterans

365
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 1: that were on the they were on that bench, but

366
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 1: the white Jannice plays, you know what I mean, the

367
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 1: energy and how he's bringing it every night. We haven't

368
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: seen something like Shack. I think that's why they complare

369
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 1: it the shock, because it's dominance. You know what I'm saying,

370
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 1: Damn there every night. Now, if as long as he

371
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 1: continues to stay healthy and do that, they always have

372
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 1: a chance. And let's let's look ahead at a couple

373
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 1: of teams who you know in the playoff hunt one

374
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 1: more surprise in the other. We got the Hornets, the

375
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 1: Celtics Wednesday. LaMelo got this Hornet squad, you know, looking

376
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 1: very good, very in. I saw a lot of that

377
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: last year two and they kind of slowly slipped off.

378
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 1: I don't want to ask you which young court. We'll

379
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 1: take the next step. First. Obviously, you got the Tatum

380
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 1: Jalen Brown situation. There's been some talking that they can't work.

381
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 1: They're both putting up numbers, taking the average and eight

382
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 1: Brown average, so that's just cool. And you got LaMelo

383
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 1: Miles Bridges. They seemed like they got something else going

384
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 1: in Charlotte, like I'm gonna go back to my sense

385
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 1: of joy things. They got a sense of joy going

386
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 1: on in Charlotte. LaMelo coming in with the Dion Sanders

387
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 1: type swag, you know, lambowed up, you know what I mean,

388
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 1: with the shades and the ice and the grill and

389
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 1: the whole ship. I don't see that with the Celtics.

390
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 1: I just see I see like a two K team

391
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 1: where you know what I mean, you get yours and

392
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 1: I get mine, and you get yours and I get

393
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 1: mine and then everybody else first something that between. But

394
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 1: they're not doing nothing. It's been three or four years

395
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 1: now with this experiment. It seems like it is. It's

396
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 1: been what it is. We're seeing what it's gonna be,

397
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Nobody's gonna take a backseat.

398
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: There are two alphas. They don't really have a point

399
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 1: guard out there that can, you know, vibe off them.

400
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go with Charlotte's. I'm gonna go with

401
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 1: m J you know what I mean. In the front office.

402
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Charlotte's young Core Miles Bridges, you

403
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 1: know what I mean, playing itself into a bag. So yeah,

404
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 1: I gotta stick with Charlotte. What about you? And I'm

405
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 1: definitely wronging. I think LaMelo is gonna be generational and

406
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 1: just all the criticism that he got obviously didn't have

407
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 1: the traditional road, the college and everything like that. But

408
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: playing out in Lithuania in the freezing cold, playing in Australia,

409
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 1: New Zealand, you know, in NBA and all that good stuff,

410
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:39,359
Speaker 1: I think just hardened him. And I just love seeing

411
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 1: that dude player. I remember watching him in Alonzo in

412
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,160
Speaker 1: Jelo in high school and you know, this kid skip

413
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 1: the grade to play on the number one team in

414
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 1: the country. I don't think that's talked about enough. It

415
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 1: was getting buckets straight, you know, on until later on

416
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 1: his career, pointing out the half court line, pulling up

417
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,160
Speaker 1: to start games to Johant. So he has that swagging

418
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,439
Speaker 1: competence but loves making the right play and it's just

419
00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 1: a guy who really you know, he can get buckets

420
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 1: when he needs to understand just the flow of the

421
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 1: game and love this dishing and distributing the ball to

422
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,679
Speaker 1: piggyback on what you said. I think he has a

423
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 1: kid a chance to be these this latest generation Michael

424
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: Jordan and Kobe type. Because he played in the social

425
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 1: media basketball. He knows what it means to drop somebody,

426
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:17,199
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, to make the shot a

427
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 1: lot of He's just been in so many high pressure

428
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,879
Speaker 1: situations and in front of the camera. I feel like

429
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 1: he has a chance to be you know, this generation's

430
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 1: you know, Kobe or you know what I mean, any

431
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 1: any type of big name player we thought of. Sure,

432
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:34,159
Speaker 1: right now, let's move to on the radar presented by DraftKings.

433
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 1: So we got the Sixers of MAVs Friday n B

434
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 1: Luca coming back from injury. But both those guys are

435
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 1: making some noise in the m v P race, and

436
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 1: Beat is the favorite right now plus two hundred. When

437
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 1: you look at the Sixers MAVs matchup Friday, who you

438
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 1: got rolling? Who are you rolling? Within that? I mean,

439
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,199
Speaker 1: I've been watching a couple of MAVs games, not as

440
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 1: much as I would like to it, but it seems

441
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: like they're a mystery, you know what I mean. You

442
00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: always Lucas gonna dominate, you know what I mean, the

443
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 1: gonna you know, crawl in the games if they're somewhere

444
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 1: there and in the fourth quarter. But to me, um,

445
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 1: I just think that what's going on in Philadelphia right now,

446
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 1: I think they're really locked in considering what the you know,

447
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 1: the Ben simmonsagan and once you got a big dude

448
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 1: rolling like that, you know what I mean, it's just

449
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 1: hard to it's just hard to get get out of

450
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 1: the way, you know what I mean. He's playing on

451
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 1: the perimeter. For all the talk of big guys disappearing

452
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: out of the NBA and it's being a generation of guards.

453
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 1: I see Jokich, I see him b I see a

454
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:31,880
Speaker 1: d S you know what I see. And I see

455
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 1: a lot of the big guys, you know what I mean,

456
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 1: holding down franchises, you know what I mean, and and

457
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 1: changing the game. So I like what the Sixers got

458
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 1: going in. I'm trusting a dock over ja kid for

459
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 1: you know, I just I just got to it right now,

460
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So if anybody's to row with,

461
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:48,719
Speaker 1: I think it's the Sixers. So you got I mean,

462
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 1: I'm looking at Lucaman and it's it's interesting because you know,

463
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 1: early on, even earlier this season, and there was a

464
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 1: trade Luca debate, and even last year trade obviously leading

465
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 1: the Hawks to the Eastern Conference Finals. I'm a rock

466
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 1: with trade. I'm a big trade fan. But Luca kind

467
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:02,120
Speaker 1: of getting left to the cold, and I just got

468
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:05,159
Speaker 1: the two first team All NBA selections. People were kind

469
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 1: of down on him this year. The matter struggling early on,

470
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:09,200
Speaker 1: he was battling some injuries. But now he's back, he's

471
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,959
Speaker 1: looking like he's getting into form. And again that's just

472
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 1: that's just a guy who who's a game changer. We've

473
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:15,880
Speaker 1: seen him do it at the highest level. Obviously hasn't

474
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 1: won a playoff series yet, but it's done big work

475
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 1: in the bubble, you know. I mean, you drop a

476
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 1: forty point games, game winners, and just things that you

477
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 1: really want to see out of a rising superstar show.

478
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 1: I can never not knock Luca, but I gotta give

479
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 1: it up for Nbad and the wait Docs got this

480
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 1: squad playing again. They came into season without Ben Simmons.

481
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 1: Everybody thought they were just gonna be a pushover, and

482
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 1: be said that I'm gonna show y'all was really real.

483
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 1: And you know, you're dealing with six Yets fans. Six

484
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 1: Yets fans don't play that ship, so they don't play

485
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 1: that at all. Play in the league, you know, Yeah, yeah,

486
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:46,360
Speaker 1: if your home you would get bullied by by your

487
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 1: own home squad. So yeah, but he seemed to being

488
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 1: able to manage that and absorb that and continued He's

489
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 1: built for Philly, you know, after it is built for Philly,

490
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So that got him want

491
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 1: it and beid and I think if you just continue

492
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 1: to stay healthy, that's straight. You know. The m v

493
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 1: P race is continue to shift. Started out early, Steph

494
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 1: seemed like the clear cut favorite. He's kind of cooled

495
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,159
Speaker 1: off a little bit after breaking that three point record,

496
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 1: and that's just what it is. You know. Now we've

497
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 1: got people talking about is he regrets this that I'm

498
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 1: never wanted to doubt Steff not doing that play coming back.

499
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 1: Dre has been out, that's gonna be an issue. And

500
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 1: I think they gave him enough padding up front, just

501
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:20,639
Speaker 1: busting everybody's as to start the season, and now they

502
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 1: can show a little bit not cruise control. But you know,

503
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 1: wait for guys to get back to you. I haven't

504
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:26,639
Speaker 1: seen why he's been played this season. So the m

505
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 1: v P race continued to shift. We got mb leading

506
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 1: the Charges too to one. According to draft Kings had

507
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,399
Speaker 1: a monster January thirty four, eleven and five, six one,

508
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 1: eleven and three in that period. Jokers three to one

509
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,359
Speaker 1: also out of solid January thirteen and nine. But the

510
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 1: Nuggs are six in the West right now. Not really nugget, like,

511
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 1: you know, they're generally gonna give you that top three

512
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:48,200
Speaker 1: four spot. Curries four to one his January struggled a

513
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 1: little bit, twenty one six and seven, thirty six percent

514
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 1: from the field, thirty one percent from three in January.

515
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 1: That's that's not very steff like. No, not steff like it.

516
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 1: But I blame us for for for the steff and

517
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,640
Speaker 1: not being stepped like, because we're sweating a for try

518
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,120
Speaker 1: to break that three point record, you know what I mean,

519
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 1: he was out there jacking up bottom three. It's kind

520
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,439
Speaker 1: of doing things unstepped like, so we can you know,

521
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 1: feel gratified, uh, in our fandom. But yeah, it's been

522
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,679
Speaker 1: a hell of an m v P race and shift

523
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 1: this year. Like I said, the bigs are representing Curry's

524
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 1: doing a good job for a Warriors team. You mentioned

525
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,439
Speaker 1: it before getting out ahead, so that they can at

526
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:25,159
Speaker 1: least figure out some lineups, get some people get some

527
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 1: people have healthy Excuse me, but I mean just the year,

528
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,639
Speaker 1: the fact that they're eleven and three in January, it

529
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 1: just tells, you know, if they we said the NBA

530
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,199
Speaker 1: is you know, we're a pacing emphasis on winning, you

531
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 1: know what I mean? And the Sexes are trying to

532
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 1: you know, they can, they can do some things in

533
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:41,399
Speaker 1: the East. The fact that he's having that month and

534
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 1: they're winning and those those those numbers don't go to

535
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:47,639
Speaker 1: waste just proves to me while he should he should

536
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 1: be the be leading the m v P race from

537
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:52,200
Speaker 1: here on out. I feel like, because you said the

538
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 1: Nuggets aren't doing Nuggets things they need Jamal Murray like

539
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 1: a mouth, you know what I mean. We do still

540
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 1: haven't seen Wiseman, so step Steps still needs some complimentary pieces.

541
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 1: So he does running itself into the ground. So it's

542
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 1: gonna just be a monster m v P. Branks going

543
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:08,879
Speaker 1: down and I think it will end up being the

544
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:12,919
Speaker 1: most memorable one in m VP history. And just rounding up,

545
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: we got your honest at three and a half to one,

546
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:19,159
Speaker 1: John Moran, Devin Booker twenty two one, LUCA thirty to one.

547
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 1: Right now CP three also thirty to one. I feel

548
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 1: like job John, Honestly, if the Grizzlies can keep this

549
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:26,919
Speaker 1: up and play this back half of the season, he

550
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:28,880
Speaker 1: can make some North. The thing I think that's hurting

551
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 1: Jobs that the squad has been performing well even when

552
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 1: he was out. I think they're like eleven and two

553
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 1: in games that he hasn't played. So what you're seeing

554
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:37,400
Speaker 1: is this squad. I mean, obviously is a difference maker

555
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,120
Speaker 1: franchise player, but the Grizzlies throughout there putting in work

556
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,680
Speaker 1: and putting up dub So it's gonna it's gonna hurt

557
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 1: his his his m v P, you know, resume just

558
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,919
Speaker 1: a tad but not enough, not enough. You gotta keep

559
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 1: him in that, Yeah, he should after coming back from

560
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 1: injury and turning up his play when he's you know,

561
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 1: being considered for things like the All Star Game, and

562
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 1: they're continue to serves. They haven't you know, taken a

563
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:02,120
Speaker 1: cliff dies and he's returned to the lineup. They've only

564
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,640
Speaker 1: continued to do with that. Then that happened all year,

565
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:07,119
Speaker 1: so you gotta have you know, it's gonna be interesting one,

566
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 1: It's gonna be really interesting. And that was on the

567
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 1: Radar presented by Draft Kings and for all you Man

568
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 1: Staff fans that are looking for your fixed. They will

569
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 1: be back Thursday with another episode of All the Smoke

570
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 1: featuring Charles Oakley, and we got a little clip from

571
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 1: that to show y'all. With the book coming out, what

572
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 1: do you expect people to get from it, and do

573
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 1: you expect them to see a different side of you? Um,

574
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 1: it definitely always something they don't know about you. And

575
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a lot of that in the book.

576
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 1: But I'm talking about basketball in the way that a

577
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,160
Speaker 1: lot of people said they wish the basketball we played

578
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 1: today the whole guy's accountaball Um, you know what you're

579
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:47,639
Speaker 1: doing the court. Um, you know, game situation, and I

580
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 1: think that in the game today you watch basketball is

581
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 1: just everybody like I and that's why you see so

582
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:56,360
Speaker 1: much bad talent on the floor and maybe the reason

583
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 1: why the Lakers is struggling because it seemed like to

584
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:03,400
Speaker 1: me they on nobody know the identity but Lebron. And

585
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 1: that's the head coach. You know, that's what you tell

586
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:09,439
Speaker 1: guys first thing training camp and you do this, you

587
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 1: do this. It's why it's a role time possessing guys

588
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 1: play three minutes together efficiencies. But it's a lot of

589
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 1: us sloppy basketball now. And I agree with you the coach,

590
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 1: and have that in the bud from the jump with

591
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:26,439
Speaker 1: this book, a lot of people don't know during the

592
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:30,399
Speaker 1: George Floor situation, you came down and supported me to

593
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:33,919
Speaker 1: my majorly supported me. You fed, you cooked for us

594
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 1: every day. And you talk about a lot of this

595
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 1: stuff in the book, what you're being there, talk about

596
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 1: the living. Let the people know. You know that she

597
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:41,639
Speaker 1: was with me the whole experience in the time we

598
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 1: had down there. Experience of having to George Floyd happened

599
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 1: to me when I was in high school. I got

600
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:48,879
Speaker 1: stories in the book, like I was coming home for

601
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:50,959
Speaker 1: school most time I had to kissed two busses, and

602
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:53,359
Speaker 1: one time I was I was catching two bus was

603
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 1: getting dark and one bus was coming late, so I

604
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 1: tried to walk home. You know, Seather waiting in the

605
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:02,439
Speaker 1: bus stop and I was walking home. Police grabbed me,

606
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:04,639

609
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,359
Speaker 1: nobody knew why I was at But when the George

661
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 1: the top hasn't been easy. But you know, a lot

662
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 1: of the players and people in the league respect my

663
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 1: grind and what I've been able to offer this league

664

Speaker 1: in terms of women's basketball media coverage, so much so

665

00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's been a lot of fun to be

Speaker 1: able to provide equitable media coverage for women in sports

668
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:09,000

669
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 1: people that anything is possible, Um, when you just grind

670
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:16,080

671
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 1: It's been fun. Heard I say that last part again?

672
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 1: What was that last part? Anything is possible when what

673
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 1: anything is possible when you work hard and you're consistent

674
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 1: with the work. But also bet on yourself because I've

675
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 1: bet it on myself and it's been going great ever since. Man. See,

676
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna ask you where you get your sources from,

677
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 1: but I will say I see you breaking news, and

678
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 1: then I'll see other publications further down the road trying

679
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 1: to break that same news without giving your love. And

680
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 1: I think you're always super respectful and polite about how

681
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 1: you're gonna move, never get rude, but just hey, by

682
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 1: the way, I did break this about two or three

683
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 1: days ago, kind of deals. So what's it like? You know,

684
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 1: the internet is is a tough play. It's like the

685
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:57,719
Speaker 1: wild wild West. But you've got great sources, you know,

686
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 1: breaking news, breaking info. And do you feel like has

687
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 1: been a shift in terms of making sure that you

688
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 1: get the credit that you deserve when you're breaking these stories. Oh? Absolutely,

689
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 1: it's definitely been a shift. I mean, I've been making noise,

690
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 1: so people are gonna have to respect it eventually. Um,

691
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 1: but yeah, like you know, my sources are my sources.

692
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 1: You know, I'm always a journalist. First. I went to

693
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 1: school for journalism, and so what I'm doing now is

694
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 1: just marrying my two passions of storytelling and and journal

695
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 1: and journalism and loving the game of basketball. And so

696
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 1: you know, at first, when I first was coming up,

697
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 1: you know, people would try to, you know, take the

698
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 1: information to pretend like they broke it first. But now

699
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 1: the fans know who I am. I've been able to

700
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 1: create my own community within the women's basketball space. So

701
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 1: if I'm not out there saying, hey, give me my credit,

702
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 1: the fans. W NBA fans are so loyal that I

703
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 1: don't even have to talk anymore. They will do it

704
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 1: for me. So so it's been great, um being able

705
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 1: to be that go to source for all things w

706
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 1: n B A news now that even the major corporations

707
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 1: are able to come to me and cite me on

708
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 1: on and their articles are on their TV pro grams.

709
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 1: About breaking the news first, I mean shout out to

710
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 1: Chris Haynes. I mean the other day I broke some

711
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 1: news and we'll get into that later, but you know

712
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 1: he went back and said, hey, Christina was the first reporter,

713
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 1: So just get in respect from O g s like him.

714
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:14,959
Speaker 1: It means everything. It kind of puts a stamp on

715
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 1: you know what I'm doing now. Chris Haynes is a

716
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 1: real one, and I think that one thing we've seen

717
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 1: and just in the women's basketball spaces, that bullying works.

718
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 1: You know, in years past, the w NBA wasn't getting

719
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 1: the love that it deserved. People started applying that pressure,

720
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 1: and now we've got w NBA free agency, specially in

721
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 1: all types of great things going on. So what's it

722
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 1: like to you to see women's basketball getting the long

723
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 1: overdue attention that it deserves. I mean, this is a

724
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 1: great start with this. So it's such a long way

725
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 1: to go in terms of coverage and the variety of

726
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 1: coverage and the players that are being covered as well. Um,

727
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 1: but you know, it's a start, and I'm happy to

728
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 1: see that. You know, people are starting to invest in

729
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 1: women's sports, not only through through like blank blank statements

730
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 1: on Twitter, but also just actively investing by putting it

731
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 1: on TV. You know, it's all about give think these

732
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 1: women the opportunity in the first place. So it's a

733
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 1: great start, but there's still a long way to go. Well, look,

734
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 1: we brought you here. Free agency just kicked off. It's

735
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,240
Speaker 1: time to get into the nitty gritty of what's going down.

736
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 1: So give us some of the biggest storylines to look

737
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 1: out for as free agency kicks off. What's burning in

738
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 1: the w n B A let us know, I mean,

739
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 1: I have all the tea of what's burning yes, um,

740
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 1: so some of the storylines to follow. Obviously, Liz Cambridge

741
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 1: is one of the biggest restricted free agents on the market,

742
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 1: and she actually fired her agent one week before negotiations

743
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 1: started on January fifteenth, and so all eyes on are

744
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 1: on where Liz will end up. My biggest both prediction

745
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 1: about where she will eventually end up maybe the Los

746
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 1: Angeles Sparks. That's a big personality. She she'll fit. She'll

747
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 1: fit the l A lifestyle, absolutely, she fits she fits

748
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 1: l A. Um. You know, she needs to be in

749
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 1: a big market, I think. And but in order for

750
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 1: that to happen, because the Sparks will have some cap issues,

751
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 1: they would have to move some contracts, offload some players

752
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 1: in order to get a player like Liz who is

753
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 1: oh the super Max. And so that's one of my

754
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 1: bold predictions about what will happen, either today or in

755
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 1: the coming weeks. Also, all eyes are on Chicago's Sky

756
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 1: uh Finals MVP Khalea Copper is expected to sign today

757
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 1: on a multi year deal with the Chicago Sky. So

758
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 1: when that happens, right, it puts it into a question

759
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 1: whether or not Candice Parker will return, And I think

760
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 1: that she will because the Chicago Style have has also

761
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 1: acquired other free agents in twenty nineteen finals MVP Emma

762
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 1: mesa Men who's from Belgium. She missed last season and

763
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 1: the w NBA due to commitments to our national team,

764
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 1: but the Chicago Sky is expected to sign her later

765
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 1: today UM to their franchise as well, and so you know,

766
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 1: they are really filling out the core of their team

767
00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 1: and possibly will have a chance to run it back

768
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 1: and get another championship. Stephanie Dalson, who was on that

769
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 1: championship team last year, She's signing with the New York

770
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 1: Liberty and so uh James Wade, the Chicago's guy head

771
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:13,879
Speaker 1: coach and GM, he's really trying to, you know, keep

772
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 1: that championship momentum going into the season, and UM trying

773
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 1: to fill out some roster spots as well. UM lots

774
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 1: of moves though, lots of moves though, lots of big moves.

775
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 1: Angie mccottory another big name free agent to sign to

776
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Links. And this is going to happen because

777
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 1: the FISA Collier, who was a former Rookie of the

778
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:41,240
Speaker 1: Year and Yukon player. She's pregnant right now and so

779
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 1: if that happen when Angel resigns, we could expect the

780
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 1: Minnesota Links to suspend Collia's contract and them to also

781
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:51,960
Speaker 1: sign a few more players. Um. I'm told that the

782
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:55,920
Speaker 1: Links are also interested in free agent Odyssey Sims, who's

783
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 1: playing in Athletes Unlimited right now. And she was a

784
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:01,400
Speaker 1: former Minnesota Links as well, uh and played for the

785
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:04,440
Speaker 1: Atlantic Dream last season. So all eyes are all with

786
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:08,360
Speaker 1: Cheryl Reeve is gonna do in Minnesota. Sylvia Foals, another

787
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:12,360
Speaker 1: Minnesota Links legend, is expected to return to the franchise

788
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:15,319
Speaker 1: for a fifteenth season, coming off a Defensive Player of

789
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 1: the Year. I'm in a really great season. So Cheryl

790
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:21,919
Speaker 1: Reeves she has a lot to do in terms of,

791
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 1: you know, keeping her roster intact and also you know,

792
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:28,400
Speaker 1: creating that championship kind of roster at the Links that

793
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 1: were used to. It's very exciting, very exciting moves happening today. Christina.

794
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:35,720
Speaker 1: I just wanna take my hat off to you because

795
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 1: all of everything that you said was fascinating. Low key,

796
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:41,800
Speaker 1: I haven't heard the women's game spoke of so quite

797
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:45,080
Speaker 1: in depth in as far as player movement and even

798
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 1: speaking to things as so far as a player might

799
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:50,719
Speaker 1: be missing time because they might be pregnant, you know

800
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 1: what I mean, that's a that's a that's an issue

801
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 1: for in the woman's league that I think that, you

802
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,600
Speaker 1: know what I mean, it's dope that you're even highlighting

803
00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:00,320
Speaker 1: the issues on why why there is certain players movement

804
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 1: or you know, players might go this and that. So

805
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:05,800
Speaker 1: I want to commend you because although I've been following

806
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:08,279
Speaker 1: the w n B, A that was like a masterclass

807
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:11,160
Speaker 1: and thirty or forty seconds that I don't think that.

808
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 1: I'm very happy that you're on the show so people

809
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:16,239
Speaker 1: can understand where exactly the women's game is right now,

810
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:18,799
Speaker 1: as far as player movement, as far as people like

811
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 1: you who can break news and tell you where and

812
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:24,000
Speaker 1: why these players are a good fit. Because it sounds

813
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 1: like you've been following you doing your dude diligence for

814
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:28,279
Speaker 1: a long time now. So hats off to you from

815
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:31,480
Speaker 1: the w B and Shell Time team for sure. Speaking

816
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:34,799
Speaker 1: of player movement, um also you mentioned I mentioned the

817
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:38,759
Speaker 1: pregnancy thing with the piece of Collier, your players coming

818
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 1: back from just having um, you know, just having kids.

819
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:45,440
Speaker 1: Uh and Cheyenne Parker, who is the only player on

820
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:48,879
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Dream at the protected veteran contract coming into

821
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:51,120
Speaker 1: this season, so Atlanta they have a lot of money

822
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 1: to sign players. Um Shyanne's contract is guaranteed, so all

823
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 1: eyes on her. She just recently had her baby last month,

824
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:00,200
Speaker 1: and so we're trying to see if she's going to

825
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 1: be back into game shape to play come May. And

826
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 1: then you have Kiki Herbert who's on the Seattle Storm,

827
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 1: who's also playing an athletes unlimited her she just had

828
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 1: a baby three months ago and she's already back on

829
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:16,399
Speaker 1: the floor. Shout out women, man, Shout out of ladies. Man.

830
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:18,719
Speaker 1: It's hard enough. You know, you get in shape during

831
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:20,880
Speaker 1: the season, you kind of a you're having a child

832
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:25,400
Speaker 1: and be the mother mother unit in a in a situation,

833
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:27,399
Speaker 1: it's just shout out for to the ladies of man.

834
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:29,480
Speaker 1: That's a huge sacrifice at the end of the day,

835
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:31,880
Speaker 1: putting your body up against it, you know, making that

836
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:35,040
Speaker 1: dedication to your team over your family. So my hats

837
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 1: off to the ladies for that one for sure. And

838
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:38,640
Speaker 1: I just want to ask you really quickly, you know,

839
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:41,879
Speaker 1: with franchise can alter their future this offseason obviously said

840
00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:45,359
Speaker 1: the Chicago Sky looking to come back and get that,

841
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:47,719
Speaker 1: you know, defend their championship with other squads out there

842
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:49,399
Speaker 1: are looking to make some noise and looking to try

843
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:51,919
Speaker 1: and get there to be hoisting that trophy this season. Well,

844
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:56,479
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Dream had a very very difficult season last year,

845
00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 1: and so they are the team to watch with the

846
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:02,840
Speaker 1: most money. Now. I didn't mention Cheyenne Parker. She's the

847
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 1: only one with the protected veteran contract on that team,

848
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 1: and so they really have the opportunity now to either

849
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 1: trade and absorb some Supermax contracts from other teams or

850
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 1: acquired teams today later with some signings UM and then

851
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 1: it's been very very quiet. We know that DM d

852
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:22,959
Speaker 1: g M sorry g M Dan pat Over. He wants

853
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 1: to bring back Kennedy Carter and Arie McDonald and build

854
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 1: a team around the young core. But all odds should

855
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 1: be on Atlanta because they do have the most money

856
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 1: when we talk about cap and salary. One thing that's

857
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:37,480
Speaker 1: very interesting with the w n B A C B

858
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 1: A is that it's going to be hard to sign

859
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:43,360
Speaker 1: a lot of veteran role players and in free agency

860
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:46,360
Speaker 1: because of the new CB A UM. I spoke to

861
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:48,879
Speaker 1: a few g ms who have said, you know, their

862
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:51,760
Speaker 1: priority right now is to retain their starters and star talent,

863
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:54,319
Speaker 1: and then once that money is taken up, you know,

864
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:57,840
Speaker 1: they don't really have cap space to sign uh veteran

865
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 1: role players. And so when that happens, you have sometimes

866
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:03,719
Speaker 1: you know, players like an Asian Wilson, former m v

867
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:06,520
Speaker 1: P who Zoo for a max contract and coming out

868
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 1: of her rookie deal with seventy thousand dollars she's supposed

869
00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:11,400
Speaker 1: to be getting paid up words the two hundred thousand dollars,

870
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 1: she may have to take a pay cut so that

871
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 1: the Aces can then sign some more talent um to

872
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:19,319
Speaker 1: help her. And so you'll have things like that that's

873
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 1: happening with the new CBA that makes it difficult for

874
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:25,279
Speaker 1: teams to keep a twelve woman roster. They may have

875
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:27,880
Speaker 1: to go over to eleven all season do to simply

876
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:30,920
Speaker 1: cap issues. And so Atlanta is a team with the

877
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 1: most money and they are the teams to watch as well.

878
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:36,840
Speaker 1: Renee Montgomery she needs to break some bread. Okay, we

879
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:40,960
Speaker 1: need to hear Renee doing too much work. I know

880
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:47,280
Speaker 1: she got some deep right, and we do know that Atlanta,

881
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:50,440
Speaker 1: for one, they are not bringing back Courtney Williams or

882
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:53,799
Speaker 1: Crystal Bradford. Crystal is expected to sign a one year

883
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 1: deal with the Chicago Sky today, and Courtney Williams is

884
00:39:57,080 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 1: expected to sign with the Connecticut Son. She will be

885
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:02,880
Speaker 1: returning back to the Sun after helping lead them to

886
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:07,040
Speaker 1: the WBA Finals in the Sun really was lacking, you know,

887
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:09,600
Speaker 1: a good guard who could you know, create her own

888
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:12,400
Speaker 1: shots and score off the ball as well. So Courtney

889
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:15,319
Speaker 1: Williams will bring that back. And they really have their

890
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:18,400
Speaker 1: core team from the finals trip and bringing back a

891
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:21,560
Speaker 1: Courtney Williams type of player, and so that should be exciting.

892
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:24,080
Speaker 1: I know Connecticut fans are happy to have her back

893
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:27,279
Speaker 1: as well. Shoot, Christine, we appreciate you pulling up and

00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 1: our most interesting characters. What famous basketball movies come to

907
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:25,799

Speaker 1: a white man can't jump. So when you talk about

00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:46,520
Speaker 1: practice and all that type of ship going on, and

918
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:49,440
Speaker 1: Wesley Snipes was easily one of the worst basketball players,

919
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:51,920
Speaker 1: and it became a thing where they'd be doing drills

920
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:53,840
Speaker 1: and ship and nobody wants to do drills with Wesley.

921
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:56,040
Speaker 1: So they have these drills going on and we'll see

922
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:57,759
Speaker 1: and every time Wesley would get to the front, guys

923
00:41:57,760 --> 00:41:59,480
Speaker 1: to kind of step back or you know, start holding

924
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 1: the hand me or whatever West called winning it. He

925
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:03,440
Speaker 1: was like, man, funk, y'all know what y'all doing. But

926
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:06,720
Speaker 1: so shout out to to Ron Shelton and the editing

927
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:08,960
Speaker 1: and the cinematographer on that for making it give the

928
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:12,320
Speaker 1: appearance anytime you saw those kindaways reasons ship between the

929
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:15,160
Speaker 1: legs or whatever, the round the back layups. Yeah, that

930
00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 1: was supreme level editing. But that's probably my favorite movie

931
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:21,319
Speaker 1: of all time. How about yourself? You stole mine? If

932
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:23,360
Speaker 1: it's not that it's above the rim, you know what

933
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:25,960
Speaker 1: I mean, for obvious reasons, Tupac, you know what I mean,

934
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:28,759
Speaker 1: the whole story, mo talk, you know what I mean.

935
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:30,840
Speaker 1: For a lot of my favorite actors were in that movie.

936
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 1: But White Camp, my man Camp Jump was always one

937
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:36,640
Speaker 1: of my favorites, even before I knew you know you

938
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:39,600
Speaker 1: guys and pops. But that's funny to know Wesley is

939
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:44,040
Speaker 1: the ultimate karate man, but he can't that's the interesting

940
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:47,440
Speaker 1: bag you're figured. Yeah, he got the black belt in

941
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:49,960
Speaker 1: jiu jitsu, but he can't master the layup line. That's

942
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:51,719
Speaker 1: a club game. But you can't have everything a lot

943
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:53,640
Speaker 1: for sure. It's like when we used to say football

944
00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:55,360
Speaker 1: players are us come in and try to you know

945
00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:57,560
Speaker 1: the Freddie mentions of the world. Yeah, you know, guys

946
00:42:57,640 --> 00:42:59,560
Speaker 1: try to land and couldn't, then try to get jumpers

947
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:02,439
Speaker 1: up and just got awful. But it happens. That's the game.

948
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:04,240
Speaker 1: It happens. We don't go out there on the football

949
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:07,000
Speaker 1: field and try. But but we have the head night,

950
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:09,680
Speaker 1: you know. But you know it's it's it's born. So

951
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:11,960
Speaker 1: we're coming up, Oh, Ship, we're coming up on the

952
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:16,760
Speaker 1: thirtieth anniversary of a white man can't jump. That's okay. Besides, Pops,

953
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:18,800
Speaker 1: give me one of your favorite scenes out of that film.

954
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:21,040
Speaker 1: I mean Ship, I think the you know you're shooting

955
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:22,600
Speaker 1: for the Sudan when he when he has to make

956
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:26,719
Speaker 1: the get on the Jeopardy and Billy Hoyle is probably

957
00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:29,879
Speaker 1: one of the greatest simps in basketball movie history. Did

958
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:32,520
Speaker 1: anything for his boo, His boot stuck with him through

959
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:35,600
Speaker 1: the Stookie Brothers and all that type of situation. Honestly,

960
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:37,879
Speaker 1: you know, Stookies are on the hunt. I'm not gonna

961
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:39,480
Speaker 1: go to l A. I'm gonna go somewhere random and

962
00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:41,160
Speaker 1: go to the Bady. I'm gonna go somewherehere. They're not

963
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:43,200
Speaker 1: really gonna be looking for me. But you know, the

964
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:45,359
Speaker 1: game is the game. The game is the game. One

965
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:47,600
Speaker 1: of my favorite scenes is when he was in his zone.

966
00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 1: I'm in a zoom, man, you know what I mean.

967
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:52,600
Speaker 1: I'm in a fucking zoom you know what I mean.

968
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:55,480
Speaker 1: I just love that part from Woody. He killed that

969
00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:58,240
Speaker 1: whole aspect of Billy hull thing. Give him the chump,

970
00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:00,520
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So many scenes for that movie,

971
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:03,560
Speaker 1: comedic timing, you know, and just mixed with good storytelling

972
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:05,000
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, because that's how we

973
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:06,880
Speaker 1: fade on the West Coast, you know, I mean, go

974
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:08,600
Speaker 1: out to the park at the beach. But the thing is,

975
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:10,239
Speaker 1: we look at that as a basketball movie. Is really

976
00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:12,280
Speaker 1: a roum come and shout out to run show new different.

977
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:14,680
Speaker 1: You know, you don't watch it as a rom com though.

978
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:16,759
Speaker 1: We just enjoy all the basketball scenes in the l

979
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:19,279
Speaker 1: a street life whatever. But we know, damn well, Billy

980

982
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:26,319
Speaker 1: you can get to the court ultimate press. He would

983
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:29,439

Speaker 1: But yeah, just a legendary crew. You said that, dude,

1069
00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:31,880
Speaker 1: we were really getting bread back. Then. We need to

1070
00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:33,600
Speaker 1: bring those days back because we could. We could definitely

1071
00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:36,239
Speaker 1: use something. Yeah, they need to call us to green

1072
00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:38,400
Speaker 1: light some of these and bring these back, like above

1073
00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:40,200
Speaker 1: the Rim and a couple of these features. Joey, you

00:48:40,239 --> 00:48:42,680
Speaker 1: gotta man, you're doing big time work now called hey,

1075
00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:44,239
Speaker 1: then tell her to put something the pan and let

1076
00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:45,520
Speaker 1: us get us up out of here. They got a

1077
00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:47,360
Speaker 1: new white Man Can't Jump coming out. I need to

1078
00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:50,160
Speaker 1: get that Raymond Roll. I know Sharona Jackson also vying forward.

1079
00:48:50,200 --> 00:48:51,759
Speaker 1: If he got the part, I wouldn't be hurt. But

1080
00:48:51,840 --> 00:48:53,920
Speaker 1: y'all need to show me some love. Y'all pull up.

1081
00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:55,799
Speaker 1: You need to do something you need. It's only right

1082
00:48:55,840 --> 00:48:58,080
Speaker 1: have them come in there and be uh, it's just

1083
00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:00,520
Speaker 1: on the right generational. Let him be rand man. Yeah,

1084
00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:04,799
Speaker 1: give me a shot to let me be somebody man

1085
00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:07,560
Speaker 1: Man and before we forget shot out Gene Hackman. He

1086
00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:11,319
Speaker 1: just turned ninety two. But to manage all these types

1087
00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:14,960
Speaker 1: of different and talented personalities, what fictional coach are you

1088
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:16,920
Speaker 1: gonna go with? I mean you got obviously Nick No

1089
00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:18,799
Speaker 1: and Blue Trips you gotta rob with. I'm probably going

1090
00:49:18,840 --> 00:49:22,680
Speaker 1: Samuel l Coach Carter locking him out the gym. Stop playing.

1091
00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:25,320
Speaker 1: That's a good car, you know, that's a great Cards

1092
00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:28,080
Speaker 1: off the Street, the original Splash Brother. You know, everybody

1093
00:49:28,120 --> 00:49:29,920
Speaker 1: says step changed the game, but everybody knows you was

1094
00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:33,240
Speaker 1: out there really long range, pulling from deep way back yonder.

1095
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:36,120
Speaker 1: But it is what it is. Yeah, I'm not mad

1096
00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:38,320
Speaker 1: at you that Nick No. I gotta road with Nick No.

1097
00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:40,960
Speaker 1: Nicknoy decided to do everything you can do to keep

1098
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:43,799
Speaker 1: the team and and the franchise together. He was great,

1099
00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:47,040
Speaker 1: some great scenes as a coach. But what's the what's

1100
00:49:47,080 --> 00:49:50,000
Speaker 1: the homies name from Glory Road? Oh shit, I don't

1101
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:53,920
Speaker 1: even know the actually does a good job whatever the

1102
00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:57,280
Speaker 1: actor of his name. I was on Glory Josh Lucas

1103
00:49:57,360 --> 00:50:00,000
Speaker 1: Glory Road. He's got some he's got some decent thing,

1104
00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:03,040
Speaker 1: But shout out Josh Lucas on Glory Road. He was

1105
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:05,080
Speaker 1: he was a monster as a coach. He clearly did

1106
00:50:05,080 --> 00:50:08,600
Speaker 1: his homework. So that's a big part of the movie

1107
00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:10,400
Speaker 1: of the game. You got to get the coaching aspect

1108
00:50:10,520 --> 00:50:12,759
Speaker 1: right when you cast, and I feel like those were

1109
00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:14,560
Speaker 1: some of the better ones. Now, look, this is what's

1110
00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:19,000
Speaker 1: burning basketball show. But we had championship Sunday past weekend.

1111
00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:22,080
Speaker 1: I know you saw and your super side. You know,

1112
00:50:23,640 --> 00:50:25,600
Speaker 1: I wanted everybody to little, just to be real, but

1113
00:50:26,239 --> 00:50:28,960
Speaker 1: we had the Rams over the forty Niners. Jimmy Jimmy

1114
00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:31,600
Speaker 1: true to form shot out Mina Kimes. Meta Comes caught

1115
00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:33,960
Speaker 1: a lot of flak this week from some former quarterbacks

1116
00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:36,239
Speaker 1: in the game for predicting what was gonna happen. Hit

1117
00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:38,920
Speaker 1: him with the duck faced mean gotta love it. The

1118
00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:42,080
Speaker 1: downtown and third quarter came back to win. We'll host

1119
00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:43,800
Speaker 1: the super Bowl. We're not you know, they're not leaving

1120
00:50:43,800 --> 00:50:46,000
Speaker 1: so far. It's still gonna be a road game for him,

1121
00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:48,000
Speaker 1: just like it was when the nine that was strifling

1122
00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:50,160
Speaker 1: to that was bad. I don't know how l A

1123
00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:52,080
Speaker 1: let that happen, but you gotta think that all the

1124
00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:55,440
Speaker 1: compton of forty Niners fans for reasons that if you

1125
00:50:55,520 --> 00:50:59,120
Speaker 1: don't know, I'm not about to sit here and extremes.

1126
00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:01,520
Speaker 1: And that's what you have to understand about team affiliations.

1127
00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:08,560
Speaker 1: Understand about this period, but may not that sh it hurt.

1128
00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:09,960
Speaker 1: I ain't gonna lie, you know what I mean. I

1129
00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:13,120
Speaker 1: thought we was going. I kept texting everybody, we're going,

1130
00:51:13,520 --> 00:51:16,239
Speaker 1: We're going, and then he dropped in this session, man,

1131
00:51:16,360 --> 00:51:18,919
Speaker 1: and you don't look like we ain't going. Ain't going

1132
00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:22,000
Speaker 1: And shout out to to Joe Shystein the Bengals. Yeah,

1133
00:51:22,560 --> 00:51:26,279
Speaker 1: one three going in the half, Andy Reid. So every

1134
00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:28,680
Speaker 1: b enemy who get the blame of the play. Don't work.

1135
00:51:28,680 --> 00:51:31,120
Speaker 1: But if it did, Andy Red called it. But Andy

1136
00:51:31,120 --> 00:51:33,880
Speaker 1: Reid called that play the end of the second quarter. Uh,

1137
00:51:34,040 --> 00:51:36,200
Speaker 1: that got held up, didn't get any points on the board.

1138
00:51:36,560 --> 00:51:39,560
Speaker 1: Joe come back to winning overtime. Isn't anybody bitching about

1139
00:51:39,560 --> 00:51:44,399
Speaker 1: overtime rules this week? Conveniently? Yeah? Them shifts old and data.

1140
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:46,920
Speaker 1: That's an antiquated model. And then he stopped that ship.

1141
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:49,839
Speaker 1: I'm getting tired of that because you know, luckily, like

1142
00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:51,920
Speaker 1: some of the talent doesn't know, I don't get a

1143
00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:54,080
Speaker 1: chance to match you because you score a touchdown because

1144
00:51:54,080 --> 00:51:56,319
Speaker 1: you're not a coin tip. It just seems a little dated, man,

1145
00:51:56,360 --> 00:51:59,120
Speaker 1: That's why. So we got Burrow Verse Stafford. Stafford obviously

1146
00:51:59,120 --> 00:52:01,880
Speaker 1: the l a guy Burro h honorary light skinning just

1147
00:52:01,920 --> 00:52:04,960
Speaker 1: for everything he's been so I want to know they

1148
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:07,439
Speaker 1: both go to Roscoe during super Bowl Week. Who's less

1149
00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:13,000
Speaker 1: likely to get pressed Bro? Yeah for sure, no doubt. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1150
00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:18,960
Speaker 1: Burrow gonna buy instance a painting uh T shirt to

1151
00:52:19,200 --> 00:52:21,600
Speaker 1: go play. You know what, You're definitely gonna get Obama.

1152
00:52:23,400 --> 00:52:25,960
Speaker 1: We're gonna get the Obama Special to go. He's gonna

1153
00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:28,800
Speaker 1: buy the dvd, you know what I mean. It's definitely

1154
00:52:28,800 --> 00:52:30,919
Speaker 1: gonna be like Joe Burrow will buy a sou playing

1155
00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:33,520
Speaker 1: DVD just on the strength off the top, support, the community,

1156
00:52:33,640 --> 00:52:35,640
Speaker 1: off top. I ask you if you got if you

1157
00:52:35,719 --> 00:52:37,799
Speaker 1: got the sequel, even though the sequel and may not

1158
00:52:37,880 --> 00:52:40,319
Speaker 1: even even that exists. Joe Burro just seemed like that

1159
00:52:40,360 --> 00:52:43,040
Speaker 1: guy coming in and the body in shades with the

1160
00:52:43,080 --> 00:52:45,960
Speaker 1: whole ship the cigar things. Seems like he's just a

1161
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:48,320
Speaker 1: guy that you know that the brothers can rally around

1162
00:52:48,400 --> 00:52:51,480
Speaker 1: super Bowl fifty six Bangers and Rams. Rams are actually

1163
00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:54,359
Speaker 1: the away team for the Super Bowl because I think

1164
00:52:54,400 --> 00:52:57,640
Speaker 1: AFC has it my limited football knowledge, who do you

1165
00:52:57,680 --> 00:53:01,440
Speaker 1: got winning this game? Damn? And I don't like playing

1166
00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:03,600
Speaker 1: these type of games because I'm salty and when you

1167
00:53:03,640 --> 00:53:05,880
Speaker 1: beat my team, you know I'll help your ass a little,

1168
00:53:06,040 --> 00:53:09,799
Speaker 1: so you know I ain't gonna front. But oh no, man,

1169
00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:13,200
Speaker 1: it seemed like Joe Burrow them boys got something going on,

1170
00:53:13,360 --> 00:53:15,120
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I like the defense, they

1171
00:53:15,200 --> 00:53:19,080
Speaker 1: got a good running back that received Chase is obviously nice.

1172
00:53:19,320 --> 00:53:21,319
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go for Burrow in the upset. I think

1173
00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:24,520
Speaker 1: Sean McVeigh is gonna do something silly during the game,

1174
00:53:24,600 --> 00:53:27,400
Speaker 1: like he almost did against the forty Niners. I feel

1175
00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:29,480
Speaker 1: like he starts, he gets pressed, and then he starts

1176
00:53:29,560 --> 00:53:32,320
Speaker 1: overthinking his genius ship and then he starts doing it.

1177
00:53:32,560 --> 00:53:34,960
Speaker 1: That's noting called for. I think Zach Taylor is going

1178
00:53:35,040 --> 00:53:37,440
Speaker 1: to have a good job of having this young, hungry

1179
00:53:37,560 --> 00:53:41,080
Speaker 1: group ready to play behind Joe Burrow. Joe Burrow is

1180
00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:44,000
Speaker 1: a monster. He got sack nine ten times a game.

1181
00:53:44,239 --> 00:53:46,160
Speaker 1: They did a good job of keeping him upright the

1182
00:53:46,239 --> 00:53:48,319
Speaker 1: last game. I think he only got sacked once. I

1183
00:53:48,320 --> 00:53:50,080
Speaker 1: think if they can do that, then keep him up.

1184
00:53:50,360 --> 00:53:52,319
Speaker 1: He's a baller man, He's gonna be there at the end.

1185
00:53:52,560 --> 00:53:54,960
Speaker 1: You can obviously come back from a deficit. So I'm

1186
00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:56,879
Speaker 1: gonna go with the Bengals in the upset. And it

1187
00:53:56,960 --> 00:53:59,680
Speaker 1: is on partly because some salty ship, because they put

1188
00:53:59,719 --> 00:54:01,920
Speaker 1: some the niners. I mean, the thing is, when you

1189
00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:04,239
Speaker 1: look at Sean McVeigh, everybody calls him a genius, But yeah,

1190
00:54:04,239 --> 00:54:06,080
Speaker 1: you're a genius. You got the Avengers on your squad.

1191
00:54:06,640 --> 00:54:08,719
Speaker 1: I'm saying you've got O B J Jalen Ramsey, a

1192
00:54:08,719 --> 00:54:10,880
Speaker 1: bunch of hitters. I'm a big Jalen Ramsey fan, so

1193
00:54:10,920 --> 00:54:13,040
Speaker 1: i gotta roll with the Rams in his local. Really,

1194
00:54:13,080 --> 00:54:14,680
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to see the Pepsi halftime show with

1195
00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:17,120
Speaker 1: Dre and Snoop and that whole crew. That's what it's about.

1196
00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:19,120
Speaker 1: But I'm getting excited for it. But I know Super

1197
00:54:19,120 --> 00:54:21,800
Speaker 1: Bowl halftime shows are traditionally a hot pack of asks.

1198
00:54:21,920 --> 00:54:24,279
Speaker 1: They're never a Jodable, never playing the hits're not playing

1199
00:54:24,280 --> 00:54:25,880
Speaker 1: the songs I want to hear you. I need some

1200
00:54:25,920 --> 00:54:27,600
Speaker 1: F words and a bunch of cussing, and you know

1201
00:54:27,640 --> 00:54:31,120
Speaker 1: they nice, you know, yeah, they're not gonna be able

1202
00:54:31,120 --> 00:54:33,960
Speaker 1: to give it. They need a Nate damn Dog hologram

1203
00:54:34,239 --> 00:54:37,719
Speaker 1: if you give me the l A every day in

1204
00:54:37,760 --> 00:54:42,279
Speaker 1: the hologram the city division, it's legal in l at Man.

1205
00:54:42,360 --> 00:54:45,560
Speaker 1: Now we can smoke a recreational if he's so put

1206
00:54:45,600 --> 00:54:47,880
Speaker 1: fire to it. It just but this is a certain effect.

1207
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:50,480
Speaker 1: Last thing I want to hit you on. In NFL News,

1208
00:54:50,840 --> 00:54:54,240
Speaker 1: Tom Brady pulled the ultimate punk fact had Adam Schefter,

1209
00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:56,040
Speaker 1: who you know, I just work with Adam NFL Networks,

1210
00:54:56,080 --> 00:54:58,120
Speaker 1: the end up dude. He doesn't report news unless he's

1211
00:54:58,239 --> 00:55:00,719
Speaker 1: convinced of it. I've seen I've seen it, but I've

1212
00:55:00,719 --> 00:55:02,560
Speaker 1: seen him sitting on like the focus, like yo, I

1213
00:55:02,560 --> 00:55:04,759
Speaker 1: can't report it yet till it was ready. So it

1214
00:55:04,800 --> 00:55:06,799
Speaker 1: feels like Brady's camp gave him a little pump. Fake

1215
00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:10,120
Speaker 1: reported that Brady's retiring. Brady's agents said, not so fast.

1216
00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:13,839
Speaker 1: So people, it started this debate, you know, go verse

1217
00:55:13,920 --> 00:55:16,560
Speaker 1: goat Brady versus Jordan's Who is the better goat in

1218
00:55:16,600 --> 00:55:21,839
Speaker 1: your mind? Damn Joe, you know what? I like Thomas, Yeah, yeah,

1219
00:55:21,880 --> 00:55:24,880
Speaker 1: that's definitely sizzling on him. I like Thomason and everything,

1220
00:55:24,920 --> 00:55:27,759
Speaker 1: but I mean the goat. Nobody started talking about to

1221
00:55:27,880 --> 00:55:31,439
Speaker 1: go until Michael Jordan's started coming around, you know, six

1222
00:55:31,560 --> 00:55:35,040
Speaker 1: or six you know m VPS, tom Brady doesn't play defense,

1223
00:55:35,120 --> 00:55:36,839
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, just to play. Yeah, that's

1224
00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:39,120
Speaker 1: he played one position, like we said earlier, at a

1225
00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:42,120
Speaker 1: high level for a very long time. Still did a

1226
00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:45,120
Speaker 1: lot of ship. Nobody has at that position. But for me,

1227
00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:48,440
Speaker 1: we're talking about finals appearances m v P being a

1228
00:55:48,520 --> 00:55:52,800
Speaker 1: transcended talent playing offense, being I respected as an offensive

1229
00:55:52,840 --> 00:55:56,000
Speaker 1: and defensive person. So that go debate to me is Solda,

1230
00:55:56,120 --> 00:55:58,640
Speaker 1: But you know MJ for it, you know, until until

1231
00:55:58,719 --> 00:56:02,120
Speaker 1: notified else I'll leave it like this. At points in

1232
00:56:02,280 --> 00:56:04,880
Speaker 1: MJ's career, and you know, Lebron got Lebron's ultimate gover.

1233
00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:08,040
Speaker 1: Don't get into that at this particular juncture. But MJ

1234
00:56:08,200 --> 00:56:11,120
Speaker 1: was the best offensive and defensive player at point. Tom

1235
00:56:11,120 --> 00:56:13,400
Speaker 1: Brady only playing half the game, I don't have to

1236
00:56:13,400 --> 00:56:15,640
Speaker 1: play enough. If Brady was out there playing quarterback and lineing,

1237
00:56:15,719 --> 00:56:17,759
Speaker 1: got bit dB or safety or something like that. Give

1238
00:56:17,800 --> 00:56:19,520
Speaker 1: me with the Ronnie lit chopped the finger off, I'm

1239
00:56:19,520 --> 00:56:23,600
Speaker 1: gonna go ahead to keep going. Maybe maybe you know

1240
00:56:23,719 --> 00:56:27,160
Speaker 1: Dion both ways, I'm literally picking it and catchy touchdowns

1241
00:56:27,200 --> 00:56:29,000
Speaker 1: on that ad and I got a baseball game I

1242
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:31,279
Speaker 1: gotta get to, so get the chopper. You know what

1243
00:56:31,280 --> 00:56:33,960
Speaker 1: I'm saying, but tons of respect for Brady. Seven super

1244
00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:36,360
Speaker 1: Bowl wins and if he does call it quits and

1245
00:56:36,360 --> 00:56:37,719
Speaker 1: this is it, man, you gotta just show him the

1246
00:56:37,760 --> 00:56:39,919
Speaker 1: ultimate amount of respect. But he's not on George's level

1247
00:56:39,960 --> 00:56:41,640
Speaker 1: from a ghost. And let me ask you a question.

1248
00:56:41,680 --> 00:56:43,960
Speaker 1: Does he have the right to pump fake? Yeah? Oh,

1249
00:56:44,040 --> 00:56:45,360
Speaker 1: and you can say he could pump fake all the

1250
00:56:45,400 --> 00:56:48,880
Speaker 1: way through the start of the set to this all

1251
00:56:48,920 --> 00:56:52,120
Speaker 1: the numerous times, squads, I'm going to the rivals. I'm

1252
00:56:52,120 --> 00:56:54,719
Speaker 1: going to the jail. I'm just lingering. Yeah, I don't

1253
00:56:54,719 --> 00:56:56,520
Speaker 1: want to do no training camp. I'm gonna be up

1254
00:56:56,520 --> 00:56:58,399
Speaker 1: against it as a last minute. So I think Tom

1255
00:56:58,400 --> 00:57:01,080
Speaker 1: Brady has earned his right pump fact and I hope he.

1256
00:57:01,480 --> 00:57:04,160
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, we might be looking for a quarterback,

1257
00:57:04,280 --> 00:57:06,760
Speaker 1: Thomas saying, if you wouldn't come back to the crib,

1258
00:57:07,120 --> 00:57:08,360
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, we can put you. We

1259
00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:10,680
Speaker 1: ain't gotta practice to do now that ship, you know

1260
00:57:10,680 --> 00:57:12,400
Speaker 1: what I mean. He can come and get your CBD

1261
00:57:12,440 --> 00:57:14,880
Speaker 1: together because we thought a Rod, but a Rod is

1262
00:57:14,880 --> 00:57:16,760
Speaker 1: not really with that back, so he can only really

1263
00:57:16,760 --> 00:57:18,960
Speaker 1: come through the road. I'm saying, Yeah, he gotta be

1264
00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:20,880
Speaker 1: on that ky read. He could play on the road,

1265
00:57:20,920 --> 00:57:22,920
Speaker 1: but he can't play at home. They might, they might

1266
00:57:22,960 --> 00:57:27,160
Speaker 1: do it, but home game. And I think that's good

1267
00:57:27,160 --> 00:57:29,919
Speaker 1: for trades, for somebody to sit behind, you know, Trey

1268
00:57:30,040 --> 00:57:32,080
Speaker 1: Lance maybe a couple more years. I don't think Jimmy

1269
00:57:32,320 --> 00:57:35,240
Speaker 1: Garoppolo was the right person to learn from because Jimmy's

1270
00:57:35,280 --> 00:57:39,320
Speaker 1: get up at the end of it, that Jimmy he does.

1271
00:57:39,400 --> 00:57:41,680
Speaker 1: He just that ship because he wants to sometimes, you

1272
00:57:41,720 --> 00:57:43,200
Speaker 1: know what I mean, And it ended up biting us

1273
00:57:43,240 --> 00:57:45,720
Speaker 1: in our ass. But sometimes it's work, like ghetto ship does.

1274
00:57:45,840 --> 00:57:48,280
Speaker 1: Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. But you know what

1275
00:57:48,280 --> 00:57:50,200
Speaker 1: I mean. Brady has the right to fund fact and

1276
00:57:50,240 --> 00:57:52,680
Speaker 1: I'm excited for his future. So we got some closing thoughts.

1277
00:57:52,840 --> 00:57:56,200
Speaker 1: NBA trade deadline is next week, you know, hoping to

1278
00:57:56,200 --> 00:57:58,360
Speaker 1: see some moving and shaking. If you're lost Angeles Lakers fans,

1279
00:57:58,360 --> 00:58:00,480
Speaker 1: you're hoping that rober Link is working the phone right now,

1280
00:58:00,680 --> 00:58:03,600
Speaker 1: not getting sent the voice mail. Another squad who's looking

1281
00:58:03,640 --> 00:58:05,200
Speaker 1: to make some move the Knicks. The Knicks brought in

1282
00:58:05,320 --> 00:58:07,880
Speaker 1: Cam Reddish. Reports coming out of New Yorker is that

1283
00:58:07,960 --> 00:58:10,680
Speaker 1: Cam will be chilling on the bench. They don't want

1284
00:58:10,680 --> 00:58:12,440
Speaker 1: to bring him in the rotation. That's what they do.

1285
00:58:12,520 --> 00:58:14,520
Speaker 1: I'll let you Knicks fans worry about that. But they

1286
00:58:14,560 --> 00:58:18,120
Speaker 1: got you know, four new years. Camba birds are all available. Yeah,

1287
00:58:18,440 --> 00:58:20,240
Speaker 1: do you see any moves happening in New York? Who

1288
00:58:20,320 --> 00:58:22,440
Speaker 1: wants them? No? I don't, you know what I mean,

1289
00:58:22,800 --> 00:58:25,360
Speaker 1: no disrespect, you know what I mean? I know people

1290
00:58:25,360 --> 00:58:27,840
Speaker 1: get paid a lot more money to do analytics and

1291
00:58:27,920 --> 00:58:30,760
Speaker 1: run things than you know, former players. But as a

1292
00:58:30,760 --> 00:58:32,960
Speaker 1: as a fan, and I'm thinking I have some knowledge

1293
00:58:33,240 --> 00:58:34,960
Speaker 1: of the league, I think the Knicks are in a

1294
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:39,000
Speaker 1: peculiar situation where those assets that they acquired and spent

1295
00:58:39,080 --> 00:58:42,720
Speaker 1: bread on, like the assets don to depreciate it, you know,

1296
00:58:42,800 --> 00:58:44,680
Speaker 1: pulled it off the lot. You know what I mean,

1297
00:58:44,720 --> 00:58:47,040
Speaker 1: You don't gave the the They pull it off the lot,

1298
00:58:47,040 --> 00:58:50,600
Speaker 1: and the appreciation happened, like right away. Julius Rundall's going

1299
00:58:50,600 --> 00:58:53,040
Speaker 1: through all types of ship out of there. They probably

1300
00:58:53,080 --> 00:58:55,120
Speaker 1: kind of have to consider making him available. So I

1301
00:58:55,160 --> 00:58:58,560
Speaker 1: don't just don't know what the Knicks can do with

1302
00:58:58,600 --> 00:59:01,800
Speaker 1: those pieces, because I'm not taking on for the a's

1303
00:59:02,320 --> 00:59:05,240
Speaker 1: contract to do what he've been doing. I don't know.

1304
00:59:05,360 --> 00:59:08,040
Speaker 1: Maybe that somebody got a system where he fits in.

1305
00:59:08,120 --> 00:59:09,800
Speaker 1: I mean, what are your thoughts on it? If I'm

1306
00:59:09,800 --> 00:59:12,040
Speaker 1: the Knicks, I'm looking for good flight deals to Camcoon,

1307
00:59:12,120 --> 00:59:15,440
Speaker 1: getting getting the hotel reserved in advance. I mean, I

1308
00:59:15,440 --> 00:59:17,959
Speaker 1: think Julius Randall's coming off that great year, got the bag.

1309
00:59:18,040 --> 00:59:19,920
Speaker 1: Don't really know what's going on with him, you know,

1310
00:59:20,000 --> 00:59:23,400
Speaker 1: from a mental standpoint, and it's just ya, I can

1311
00:59:23,400 --> 00:59:25,080
Speaker 1: see anything happen in New York, but I don't really

1312
00:59:25,120 --> 00:59:26,720
Speaker 1: think it's gonna help. They're kind of you know, they

1313
00:59:26,720 --> 00:59:29,160
Speaker 1: had their run bing Bon and all that ship. Ever

1314
00:59:29,200 --> 00:59:31,560
Speaker 1: since Big Bond started, we went from bing Bon to

1315
00:59:31,640 --> 00:59:33,760
Speaker 1: Ping Pong. Like, I'm just gonna be real, but that ship,

1316
00:59:33,800 --> 00:59:37,640
Speaker 1: it gets you, that bing bound ship. That ship is flighty.

1317
00:59:37,720 --> 00:59:39,959
Speaker 1: That's that's not gonna it's not it's not gonna stay

1318
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:42,800
Speaker 1: with you. That's the thing that's here today and gone tomorrow.

1319
00:59:42,880 --> 00:59:45,440
Speaker 1: That's you gotta stop that being Bong ship. The Kings

1320
00:59:45,480 --> 00:59:47,920
Speaker 1: were in the Ben Simmons Sweet states more he was

1321
00:59:47,960 --> 00:59:49,920
Speaker 1: asking for too much. Yeah, so you know when the

1322
00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:52,160
Speaker 1: Kings are like, now we cool, playboy like, that's because

1323
00:59:52,200 --> 00:59:54,360
Speaker 1: you know they've tried to put together a package probably

1324
00:59:54,360 --> 00:59:56,640
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, they know they can't come in into

1325
00:59:56,720 --> 01:00:02,520
Speaker 1: the negotiations bullshit. So yeah, More he's playing hardball, man,

1326
01:00:02,760 --> 01:00:04,480
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. But like his name is More,

1327
01:00:04,520 --> 01:00:07,520
Speaker 1: he said, give me some more. He's saying, let me

1328
01:00:07,560 --> 01:00:09,480
Speaker 1: see it. You know what I mean, Ben losing a

1329
01:00:09,480 --> 01:00:11,440
Speaker 1: lot of bread, you know what I mean? While you

1330
01:00:11,440 --> 01:00:15,560
Speaker 1: know the Bugatti but the Bugatti payments, is is that enough?

1331
01:00:16,080 --> 01:00:18,880
Speaker 1: I think he knows that too, so using that to

1332
01:00:18,960 --> 01:00:22,280
Speaker 1: his advantage. I know that the things were too high

1333
01:00:22,280 --> 01:00:24,520
Speaker 1: then when they're asking or high, but maybe he crosses

1334
01:00:24,600 --> 01:00:26,720
Speaker 1: his arm to get that deal and catches somebody desperate.

1335
01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:28,920
Speaker 1: I mean, what team do you think could benefit from

1336
01:00:28,960 --> 01:00:31,479
Speaker 1: from bringing in a guy like dearon Fox or Buddy Healed?

1337
01:00:31,520 --> 01:00:33,160
Speaker 1: And for Buddy, I'll tell you a team that could

1338
01:00:33,200 --> 01:00:35,520
Speaker 1: have benefited that probably should have made that move in

1339
01:00:35,560 --> 01:00:39,280
Speaker 1: the summertime with the Los Angeles Lakers. But who needs

1340
01:00:39,280 --> 01:00:41,480
Speaker 1: those services? Now they got a hairy and get them

1341
01:00:41,560 --> 01:00:44,160
Speaker 1: deals out of there before they get attainted, you know

1342
01:00:44,160 --> 01:00:46,200
Speaker 1: what I mean. Sacramento is in the best place to

1343
01:00:46,240 --> 01:00:47,960
Speaker 1: play anyway, you know what I mean. They have some

1344
01:00:48,040 --> 01:00:50,280
Speaker 1: coaching changes, you know what I mean. I know Alvin

1345
01:00:50,280 --> 01:00:52,240
Speaker 1: Gentry is going through it over there. You know what

1346
01:00:52,280 --> 01:00:55,200
Speaker 1: I mean trying to find trying to identify what type

1347
01:00:55,240 --> 01:00:57,760
Speaker 1: of culture that they could even begin to have. Luke

1348
01:00:57,840 --> 01:01:00,520
Speaker 1: went through it. I still think it's an awesome franchise.

1349
01:01:00,680 --> 01:01:02,800
Speaker 1: I love Sacramento, you know. I spent a little bit

1350
01:01:02,840 --> 01:01:04,920
Speaker 1: of time in there when I have time off. The

1351
01:01:04,960 --> 01:01:07,880
Speaker 1: city's dope. They get behind that franchise. So I just

1352
01:01:07,920 --> 01:01:11,600
Speaker 1: see whatever team Fox or He'll go to. I think

1353
01:01:11,640 --> 01:01:14,000
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to They're gonna unless it's a special

1354
01:01:14,040 --> 01:01:16,840
Speaker 1: coach a Popovich, some type of situation where you have

1355
01:01:16,920 --> 01:01:19,280
Speaker 1: to go in there and like dial in right away,

1356
01:01:19,480 --> 01:01:21,479
Speaker 1: I don't. I think they're gonna still be a little

1357
01:01:21,480 --> 01:01:23,640
Speaker 1: ways away from their best basketball if they go to

1358
01:01:23,680 --> 01:01:25,960
Speaker 1: a new destination, it's not just gonna be like they're

1359
01:01:25,960 --> 01:01:27,960
Speaker 1: there and they're cracking right away. And if we're looking

1360
01:01:27,960 --> 01:01:30,720
Speaker 1: at the Ben Simmons sweet steaks, will the Sixers make

1361
01:01:30,760 --> 01:01:33,479
Speaker 1: a deal for Simmons before the deadline or they're gonna

1362
01:01:33,480 --> 01:01:36,040
Speaker 1: hold that piece and hope that hardened opts out and

1363
01:01:36,680 --> 01:01:41,440
Speaker 1: like cheese steaks. James looked like he do like cheese.

1364
01:01:41,600 --> 01:01:44,280
Speaker 1: I mean, who doesn't delicious, you know what I mean?

1365
01:01:44,320 --> 01:01:46,160
Speaker 1: And if you're gonna have a cheese steaks you probably

1366
01:01:46,200 --> 01:01:48,520
Speaker 1: have one and the yes, so he would be a

1367
01:01:48,560 --> 01:01:51,040
Speaker 1: smart man for that. Look and beat is cooking, man,

1368
01:01:51,360 --> 01:01:53,200
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And I think even if

1369
01:01:53,240 --> 01:01:55,480
Speaker 1: Being does come back, what does he do at this point?

1370
01:01:55,640 --> 01:01:57,000
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? What what else is he

1371
01:01:57,280 --> 01:01:59,600
Speaker 1: besides another body? You know what I mean? Maybe he's

1372
01:01:59,640 --> 01:02:01,880
Speaker 1: on the same game. I think it's Kyrie can only

1373
01:02:01,920 --> 01:02:06,640
Speaker 1: play rug games. I don't know what that looks like. Um, yeah, man,

1374
01:02:06,680 --> 01:02:09,840
Speaker 1: they just that Moria ain't gonna do ship but sit

1375
01:02:09,880 --> 01:02:12,800
Speaker 1: there and wait for this season to expire and ride

1376
01:02:12,800 --> 01:02:15,080
Speaker 1: out joel them beads and BP seas and you know,

1377
01:02:15,320 --> 01:02:17,560
Speaker 1: hopefully one of those other players step up, you know,

1378
01:02:17,560 --> 01:02:19,680
Speaker 1: and maybe they make a move and get somebody some

1379
01:02:19,760 --> 01:02:21,320
Speaker 1: extra out of help. But I don't think he makes

1380
01:02:21,360 --> 01:02:23,000
Speaker 1: a move or else he would have made it. Yeah,

1381
01:02:23,040 --> 01:02:26,560
Speaker 1: most definitely. And now shifted back to the West. Utah

1382
01:02:26,720 --> 01:02:29,760
Speaker 1: Jazz got some some some devastating news. Joe Ingles suffered

1383
01:02:29,760 --> 01:02:32,200
Speaker 1: the torn yell out for the season. Yeah they're already

1384
01:02:32,320 --> 01:02:34,640
Speaker 1: you know, four and twelve in January. This is a

1385
01:02:34,720 --> 01:02:39,120
Speaker 1: huge boat of their depth. Can the Jazz recover from this? No? No,

1386
01:02:39,600 --> 01:02:41,320
Speaker 1: I don't think, you know, I think Ingles was a

1387
01:02:41,360 --> 01:02:43,080
Speaker 1: glue guy, and you know, I don't know how glue

1388
01:02:43,080 --> 01:02:46,959
Speaker 1: guys is. Rudy's not a big enough offensive guy, although

1389
01:02:47,000 --> 01:02:49,040
Speaker 1: he's gonna hold you down on defense. I think they're

1390
01:02:49,040 --> 01:02:52,000
Speaker 1: missing so much offense right now. I don't see them

1391
01:02:52,040 --> 01:02:53,920
Speaker 1: making a move anything that they do move. I think

1392
01:02:53,960 --> 01:02:55,720
Speaker 1: the jazz or who they are, I think Joe, the

1393
01:02:55,800 --> 01:02:58,760
Speaker 1: Joe ingles Uh injury is gonna hurt them more than

1394
01:02:58,800 --> 01:03:00,600
Speaker 1: they think they do, more than I think, more of

1395
01:03:00,640 --> 01:03:04,360
Speaker 1: than we think they will. And I'm not looking for Utah.

1396
01:03:04,440 --> 01:03:06,400
Speaker 1: Everybody I know Quince Snyder is a good coach. They've

1397
01:03:06,400 --> 01:03:09,000
Speaker 1: got some young talent like Donovan Mitchell, I like Rudy Gobert.

1398
01:03:09,280 --> 01:03:11,520
Speaker 1: I'm just not looking for Utah like that most death

1399
