1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:03,960
Speaker 1: Welcome into What's burning, my friends, joined by Matt Barnes,

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 1: Steven Jackson, and guys. We've got so much good playoff

3
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:08,920
Speaker 1: stuff going on, I just want to get straight into it.

4
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 1: Monday night in the NBA thrilling in Miami, Jimmy Butler

5
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:17,720
Speaker 1: dropping fifty six points, swaying the series, putting the number

6
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:20,280
Speaker 1: eight seed up three to one on top of the

7
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:23,239
Speaker 1: top seeded Bucks. And look, we have to start with Jimmy, right,

8
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: This was the most points in Heat playoff history, which

9
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: is saying something on a team where Lebron, James, Dwayne

10
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 1: Wade shack all one titles. At one point in the

11
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 1: third quarter, guys, Jimmy had thirty five points and the

12
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,839
Speaker 1: rest of the Heat had thirty nine points. So cannot

13
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 1: overstate his value there. But I got a question for you.

14
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: Was Jimmy Butler's Game four the single greatest playoff performance

15
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,200
Speaker 1: for a Miami Heat player. We know it's the most points,

16
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: but you got to remember we had that Lebron game

17
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: in twenty twelve, that Game six versus the Celtics up

18
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 1: in Boston in the Eastern Conference Finals, when the Heat

19
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: were down three to two. We had forty five fifteen

20
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: to five. We had Tim Hardway versus the Knicks in

21
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: ninety seven, that Game seven in the second round, thirty

22
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: eight points, seven assists. And of course Dwayne Wade in

23
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 1: the two thousand and six finals, remember he had that

24
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,960
Speaker 1: Game three, they were down two, they were down thirteen

25
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: points in the fourth quarter and it came back and

26
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: I think he had forty something points. He did it

27
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 1: again in Game five of that series. So where would

28
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: you put this Jimmy Butler performance stack in the grand

29
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: scheme of Miami performances.

30
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 2: I definitely put it up there with you know that

31
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 2: one of the top performances. I definitely think lebron performance

32
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 2: is at the top. Just what was his stake and

33
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 2: the team he was playing against and how he dominated.

34
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 2: I think Lebron his performance against Boston is always going

35
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:44,639
Speaker 2: to be at the top of me for Miami.

36
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 3: But Jimmy Butler's right there to score those points.

37
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 2: And you know, if it was if it was the

38
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 2: East Conference Finals, then I will be saying it might

39
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 2: be bigger than Bron. But it is just the first round,

40
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 2: which is still big because they're playing a number one seed,

41
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 2: and I don't think I think the last time what

42
00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 2: a number one seed was knocked out in the first

43
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 2: round was us, So it's good to see they have

44
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 2: them have an opportunity to do it.

45
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 4: I think too, I think the stage obviously, and you

46
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 4: never want to take anything away from Jimmy. This guy

47
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 4: wills his team somehow someway every single time he steps

48
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 4: on the floor.

49
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 5: My number one performance is.

50
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 4: D Wade because he did it on the biggest stage,

51
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 4: which is in the finals, and it was a long

52
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 4: time ago, and my memory is a little shaky because

53
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 4: I do smoke a lot, but I just remember seeing

54
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 4: how incredible he was in those games to become finals MVP. Obviously,

55
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,920
Speaker 4: what bron did in Boston is huge because on that stage,

56
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 4: but you know not the definitely don't want to take

57
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 4: anything away from Jimmy for what he did last night.

58
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 5: It was incredible.

59
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 4: Just someone who's a Swiss army knife can give you

60
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 4: whatever you need to win, and last night it was

61
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 4: scoring and he did it.

62
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:48,959
Speaker 5: But I'm one of the greatest.

63
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 6: Players now, I'm with you on the gween Wig one.

64
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: I just remember sort of them looking like that whole

65
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 1: series was going to be a wash, and he turned

66
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 1: the whole thing around. They end up winning a title

67
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 1: him in check and that great team with a lons

68
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:02,119
Speaker 1: of warnings. So I agree that time and place matters,

69
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,559
Speaker 1: But there's no question that Jimmy Butler has been phenomenal

70
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 1: in the playoffs overall throughout his career, certainly on Monday Night,

71
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:13,239
Speaker 1: but he really took issue guys with that playoff Jimmy idea.

72
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: And you remember, for Jihon Rondo used to take issue

73
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: with the idea that there was a playoff Rondo. Jimmy

74
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: was asked about last night about playoff Jimmy, and he

75
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 1: was like, no, there's no that's not true. I'm just

76
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: hooping that kind of thing. Why do you think, Matt,

77
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: why do you think guys don't like that?

78
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 6: Moniker?

79
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 4: Maybe because you want to think that you're giving your

80
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 4: best effort the entire season. But you know, Jimmy has

81
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 4: been that one guy particular, I mean even more than

82
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 4: maybe even more than Rondo. And I say that's all

83
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 4: due respect. In the playoffs, Jimmy turns something else on.

84
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 4: I mean, maybe it's the beer he's drinking come playoff time,

85
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 4: or the music he's listening to. But again, Jimmy is

86
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 4: someone who has willed his team not just this year,

87
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 4: but pretty much every year he's been in Miami. They

88
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 4: made a run to the finals, and he was incredible

89
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 4: in Gas the entire time. But he is just one

90
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 4: of the most, you know, one of the greatest competitors

91
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 4: we've ever seen in this game, who's whose heart is

92
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 4: as big as anyone's in this game. And whether he

93
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 4: likes it or not, playoff Jimmy is just some different stack.

94
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 6: Playoff Jimmy is a real thing, right.

95
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,599
Speaker 2: I wouldn't say that with him. I mean, because he

96
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 2: you know, he gives effort all year round. It it's

97
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 2: some guys that when they give him their playoff name

98
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 2: it f it's because they only play harder, they only

99
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 2: give the effort in the playoffs. But with Jimmy, I

100
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 2: I think I think he gives that for all year round.

101
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 3: I just think in the playoffs.

102
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 2: Is highlighted because the game slows down, the star players

103
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,039
Speaker 2: have the ball more, and you really get to see

104
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 2: our chalented these guys.

105
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 6: His numbers are better in the playoffs.

106
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 1: I wonder if that's the I don't I don't think

107
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: it is an effort thing, because I agree with you,

108
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: I think that that he gives effort the whole year through.

109
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: But I wonder if it's just situationally he's able to

110
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:52,280
Speaker 1: do more in those situations. Whatever it is, it's working

111
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 1: for the Miami Heat. Do you guys think, I mean,

112
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: coming back from three to one in the series has

113
00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 1: only very rarely happened. Do you guys think that Giannis

114
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: in the Bucks can do this or do you think

115
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:03,479
Speaker 1: this series is over?

116
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 2: If there's one player that can his team back from

117
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 2: being three to one, is Giannis I believe. I'm not

118
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 2: saying they're going to do it, but if somebody could

119
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 2: do it, it would be him.

120
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:13,840
Speaker 3: I don't know how healthy he is.

121
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 2: He still he was limpy, limped away last night from

122
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 2: the game in one position and he fell hard for

123
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 2: the first.

124
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:21,840
Speaker 3: Time so again on his back.

125
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 2: So I don't know how healthy is but if he's

126
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 2: a one hundred percent, they got a good chance.

127
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 4: And you also see what I think Jack just pointed out,

128
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 4: or maybe I missed one, but at the very end

129
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 4: of the game, the last play of the game, he

130
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 4: fell right on his tailbone, and I don't think no

131
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 4: one noticed that because Miami had won.

132
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 5: But that could be a big if. But I agree

133
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:39,599
Speaker 5: with Jack.

134
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 4: I mean, if there's one team that can well back,

135
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 4: It's Giannis's team. And the only reason why I feel

136
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 4: like they can do it is because Jimmy has to

137
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,359
Speaker 4: play like this every single game, you know. I mean, obviously,

138
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 4: this is one game which was incredible. You know, obviously

139
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 4: they're shorthanded with Tyler Herro. They just lost Victor Oluwadipo

140
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 4: to another terrible knee injury. But if Jimmy's going to

141
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 4: have to drop fifty every night or be in the

142
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,479
Speaker 4: high forties every night, that doesn't necessarily favor his team.

143
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,159
Speaker 4: And then, you know, because Milwaukee pretty much had the

144
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 4: game in hand, they saidn't play a full forty eight minutes,

145
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 4: So I think it'll be interesting. You don't want to

146
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 4: take anything away from Jimmy in the Heat squad for

147
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,359
Speaker 4: what they were able to accomplish last night, but the

148
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,039
Speaker 4: windows definitely still open for Milwaukee. They got to go

149
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 4: home and take care of business and then game again.

150
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 1: We don't know, we don't know how Yiannis is going

151
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 1: to be and frankly, as you point out, the Heat

152
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: cannot sustain one more injury to one more important guy

153
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: on that team. I mean, they're so thin right now.

154
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 1: So we'll have to see what happens if the Bucks

155
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: do end up losing this series. Though a first round

156
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 1: exit for a top seeded team, as you point out,

157
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 1: Stack has not happened in a long long time. The

158
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 1: Bucks will have to sit and take a look at

159
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: what they want to do. You've got Brook Lopez as

160
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 1: an unrestricted free agent, Chris Middleton has a player option.

161
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: Do you think Stack, if they do lose this first

162
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 1: round series, you just draw it up to, you know, hey,

163
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: chalk it up to injuries and Giannis and we try

164
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 1: to run it back for next year again.

165
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 6: Or do you think you want to make some major changes.

166
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's hard to say you need to

167
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,280
Speaker 2: make changes when Giannis is not one hundred percent. I mean,

168
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 2: that's that's what makes that machine go. I mean, if

169
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 2: he was a hundred percent, we're probably be saying that

170
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 2: David Series. So I think that I think they kind

171
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 2: of keeped the core of that team together. Lopez has

172
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 2: had a great year. He almost won Defensive Player of

173
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 2: the Year. So Lopez is and somebody that need to

174
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 2: keep in pocket the pick and rolled at him and

175
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 2: Gianna was running yesterday was Miami couldn't stop it, So

176
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 2: I just I just think it might be some other

177
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 2: players they need to need to tune in and take out.

178
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 2: But for the most part, I think they're still good.

179
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, I definitely don't think you blowed this this core up.

180
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,239
Speaker 4: This corp has been one of the most consistent cores

181
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 4: the last handful of years. But if you guys remember

182
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 4: before Milwaukee came out of nowhere and won that finals,

183
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 4: who was on the hot spital coach but it was

184
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 4: Bud And you got to think there was a lot

185
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 4: in shock point or was it Charles that pointed it

186
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 4: out last night and on TNT after the game, there

187
00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 4: were some times there there was some questionable decision making

188
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 4: and timeouts that weren't called during that run that Miami

189
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 4: was making.

190
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 5: That kind of had me on that.

191
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I was just thinking, like, I was about

192
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 4: to start tweeting, but I was dealing with Ash so

193
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 4: I didn't. But I'm thinking, like, and it just made

194
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 4: me think back to before Milwaukee won their championship. That's

195
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 4: that championship saved their head coach, so out again, I

196
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 4: don't think it's with the players, if anything, and I'm

197
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 4: not even saying they need to if this doesn't work.

198
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 4: They need a fire bud. But I think he brew

199
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 4: Up probably will take some heat and there will be

200
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 4: some you know, deep examining of his abilities to lead.

201
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: That'd be interesting to see. But as you guys say,

202
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 1: I think the Bucks still have a chance. That series

203
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 1: is far from over, and either way it's gonna be

204
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a good time, all right. I want

205
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 1: to get over back here to La because Lebron went

206
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: twenty and twenty in year twenty, first time in a

207
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: playoff game he's ever posted those numbers, by the way,

208
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: first time in fifty years that a player of his

209
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: age has done it. In fact, he broke Wilt's record.

210
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: What was thirty six when he did it. Lebron is,

211
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 1: of course thirty eight. So crazy to have a guy

212
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 1: at that age put up those.

213
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 6: Kinds of numbers.

214
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: Lakers fans, of course, a whirlwind of emotions this entire season.

215
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,439
Speaker 1: They've re ramped the roster eighty and Lebron have both

216
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 1: missed extended periods of time.

217
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 6: They battled just to get into the play in and

218
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 6: now they're up three to one. Though on the number.

219
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 1: Two seeded Grizzlies and Matt you always said if the

220
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: Lakers get in, they'd be dangerous. But is that just

221
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 1: because hey, they're the team with Lebron James? Is that

222
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 1: going to be enough? Is they keep going here? I

223
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: don't know if he can do twenty and twenty every night.

224
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 1: What's your assessment here as we go?

225
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 4: Well, Rachel was crazy because as I was watching this

226
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 4: game last night, I was in a group chat with

227
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 4: Jelani and a couple of the UCLA home boys and

228
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 4: I literally said, because he was really passive down the

229
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 4: stretch before overtime, like didn't look to attack, didn't look

230
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 4: to anything. I was just like, damn, it doesn't look

231
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 4: like Lebron can get you know, he's not really doing

232
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 4: anything to get by no one. And when I tell you,

233
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 4: as soon as I said that, he started going, you

234
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 4: know what I mean? And everyone in might like, hey,

235
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 4: you know that in age well, literally like thirty seconds,

236
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 4: it's like he heard me. But to your point, Rachel,

237
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 4: I don't think Lebron can sustain. Sometimes people say you

238
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 4: had to catch your second win. He had to catch

239
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 4: his third win last night, which was incredible, and he

240
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 4: was able to do it and again, like Jimmy will

241
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 4: his team to victory but my biggest question mark is

242
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 4: Anthony Davis is inconsistency. He'll give you thirty and seventeen, one, nine,

243
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 4: and then he comes back and gives you what do

244
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:21,079
Speaker 4: you have last night?

245
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 5: Like eleven and twelve?

246
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 3: You know what I mean?

247
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 4: When he's talent wise supposed to be one of the

248
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 4: greatest players that this game has. So it'll be very

249
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 4: interesting to see how much juice Lebron has because there's

250
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 4: times where you watch the game and granted that twenty

251
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 4: twenty was absolutely incredible for someone his age at this point,

252
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,319
Speaker 4: but you can just tell that that as a team,

253
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 4: they can't sustain energy consistently. It's crazy. There's so many

254
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 4: peaks and valleys with that team. So I think this

255
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 4: team can still beat Memphis because Memphis is shorthanded, but

256
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 4: it'll be interesting to see if they have enough gas

257
00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 4: as a team to continue to advance. It's gonna take

258
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 4: the role players to continue to play well. Austin Reeves

259
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 4: has played itself into a lot of money, but I

260
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 4: really put a lot of a lot of the a

261
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 4: lot of the focus on Anthony Davis. If Anthony Davis

262
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 4: is going to be the guy that can step up

263
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 4: in these big games and help burden the load that

264
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 4: Lebron has faced every game its entire career. This team

265
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,559
Speaker 4: has a chance to, you know, continue their journey through

266
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 4: the West, because the West is to me still.

267
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 6: Tell a D if you were his coach or his teammate,

268
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 6: Oh boy.

269
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:31,439
Speaker 5: I want to hear this.

270
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:33,439
Speaker 3: I tell.

271
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 2: That's a good question. I don't know, honestly, they don't know.

272
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,719
Speaker 2: What would I tell? What would I tell?

273
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 5: I was?

274
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 2: I was thinking more from the Memphis side, the Lakers.

275
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 2: You know, they got a D and Lebron, they should

276
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 2: win the series. The Memphis don't have the big man.

277
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 2: That's a big difference. Lebron wouldn't be getting twenty rebounds

278
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 2: with Steven Adam and it was in the series. Steven

279
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 2: Allams is a big part of this series. And then again,

280
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 2: you know, Lebron just smartered. He just smarter than all

281
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 2: these players out there on the court. You know they

282
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 2: don't they were talented, rach, but they don't play attention

283
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,719
Speaker 2: to detail at all. You know what I'm saying. And

284
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 2: I think this is what's sewing at Lebron's age. Is

285
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 2: his IQ over everybody's IQ on the court. You let

286
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 2: Lebron go right at it could clutch point of the

287
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 2: game with one drivel to the rim. He's gonna score

288
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,319
Speaker 2: every time, you know. And it's just just and every time.

289
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 2: I mean just They're just not They just not understand

290
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 2: the game of details.

291
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 3: No way. If I was in that game, I would

292
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 3: let Lebron go right.

293
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 2: Lebron can score, he can, he can score right every time,

294
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 2: but going left the percentages dropped. So I would force

295
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 2: him to go left and make him past to somebody

296
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 2: else and make Austin Reeves and somebody beat you. But

297
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 2: you don't let Lebron just drive to the rim. So

298
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 2: Lebron is just ten times smarter than everybody on the court.

299
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:53,599
Speaker 1: Well, you can definitely see the youth with the Grizzlies,

300
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:57,439
Speaker 1: and they've had their own kind of discombobulation throughout this series.

301
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:00,439
Speaker 6: Dylan Brooks talking, not talking.

302
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:02,959
Speaker 1: It's going to be interesting to see what happens when

303
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 1: they get back down to Memphis. But I do agree

304
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: with you, Matt Anthony Davis has to be more consistent.

305
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 1: This was supposed to be a situation when Lebron came

306
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:13,439
Speaker 1: to the Lakers that, yes, he was going to be

307
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 1: the dominant player. When he first got to La. But

308
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 1: the idea, I mean he said it out loud. The

309
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 1: idea was that it would transition into being a D's team,

310
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: and that he would be a very talented elder statesman,

311
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: but sort of as he approached forty, that he would

312
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 1: be sort of the older piece on the team and

313
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 1: that the real powerhouse would be Anthony Davis. And we

314
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 1: haven't seen that full transition yet. I mean, Lebron is

315
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: still the guy that makes this team go. You would

316
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: think that this playoffs, if the Lakers are going to win,

317
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 1: it's going to have to be because Anthony Davis can

318
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 1: take over games consistently.

319
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,719
Speaker 6: I'm looking for it. We'll see if it happens. I

320
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 6: don't know.

321
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 4: Hold on right before we jump to the next topic,

322
00:13:54,840 --> 00:14:00,320
Speaker 4: let's rewind you mentioned Dylan Brooks. How do you talk shit?

323
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 4: Continuing to talk shit and then try to say that

324
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 4: the media and the fans are making you a villain,

325
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 4: and then when you start getting your head busted, you

326
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 4: don't want to talk to the media no more?

327
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 5: Like how does how does that? I mean, how do

328
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 5: you It's.

329
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 4: Easy to talk shit when shit's cool, you know what

330
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 4: I mean, But when your back's against the wall, you

331
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 4: got to stand on what you're talking and now you

332
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 4: want to I'm out and I'm not talking to the media.

333
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 4: He's acting like a whe straight up, straight up, and

334
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 4: he's trying to point the finger at everyone else.

335
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 1: That's we talk about on the court, that guys gotta

336
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 1: like learn how to do things right. That their young

337
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 1: team and they got all the stuff Sack was just

338
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 1: talking about. I think with trash talk is the same thing.

339
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 5: Right, come, mom, man, you gotta stand on it.

340
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 4: You got to stand on it, especially when you're talking

341
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 4: about you know what I mean, you're disrespecting one of

342
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 4: the greatest, if not the greatest player we've ever seen.

343
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 5: And when things start to not.

344
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 4: Go your way a little bit, now you're pointing the

345
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 4: finger at the media, and you're pointing the finger at

346
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 4: the fans, and you don't want to talk to the

347
00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 4: media because you your mouth roid to check your ass cash,

348
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 4: you know what I mean. So I think he's on

349
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 4: some clown behavior and and all that kind of stuff

350
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 4: adds up, you know, because the one thing about MEMPHISI is,

351
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 4: you know, during the regular season, a little bit of

352
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 4: outside noise won't necessarily deter you. You know, they had

353
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 4: some stuff with joh Dylan's been in and out with

354
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 4: technical fouls. They've they've obviously had some injuries, but you know,

355
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 4: come playoff time, there has to be a singular focus

356
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 4: and there has to be a team focus. And I

357
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 4: think he individually had tried to make it an individual

358
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 4: one on one type matchup and when that shit didn't work,

359
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 4: now all of a sudden, it's everyone else's fault with his.

360
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 5: That's some clown shit.

361
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 2: Well I don't, I don't. I kind of disagree, man,

362
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 2: because they asked him about Braun. I mean, they asked

363
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 2: him a question, and I don't think he was supposed

364
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 2: to say, oh, Braun is the greatest and all that.

365
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 3: He said, what do he wanted? How he felt?

366
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 2: Now, if he didn't back up his play, that's one thing,

367
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 2: and people canna say he talking trash and not backing

368
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 2: up his play as one thing, But the other things

369
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 2: they saying about him as a person, I think that's

370
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 2: what he talking about. Yeah, he talking trash, he didn't

371
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 2: back it up as a person. Because I've been there,

372
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 2: I talked trash on the court. I got my ass

373
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 2: buzzed by Broun, Kobe, all of them. But when they

374
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 2: try to take it as you as a person and

375
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 2: attack your as you as a person and not on

376
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 2: the court. I think that's what he kind of talked

377
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 2: about running from the media. Yeah, you got to stand

378
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 2: up because you're the same person that said he was

379
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 2: old and all that, so you got to you gotta

380
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 2: take that after Lebron have a twenty twenty game. But

381
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 2: when you start tacking the person off the court, I

382
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 2: think that's what he running from. No, we different. We

383
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 2: didn't run from nothing whatever said. We stood up behind him.

384
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 2: But I don't think he really talking about as far

385
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 2: as him talking is trash and not backing up. I

386
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 2: think they're trying to say he a thug and a

387
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 2: villain and all this stuff which he take on on

388
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 2: the court, but once he off the court, lead that

389
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 2: man alone.

390
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 3: Yeah.

391
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 4: I never heard the thug part, But I mean I

392
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 4: think the villain rolling. We've both been villains, and we

393
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 4: played a big hand in creating that villain narrative, and

394
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 4: we were cool with it.

395
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 5: Like you said, we stood on it.

396
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 4: Whether we were right or wrong, played well or played

397
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 4: like shit, we stood on it and we followed through.

398
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 5: But that was I've never heard. I haven't heard no one.

399
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 4: I must have missed it, you know, talking about him

400
00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 4: off the court, as far as I mean, he can't

401
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 4: be a thug. He walks in with a vest with

402
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 4: no shirt on. That ain't a thug. So I'm not

403
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 4: talking about I don't think I missed If they were

404
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:07,640
Speaker 4: talking bad about him as a person, I.

405
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 5: Didn't hear that part.

406
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 4: But I'm keeping it strictly on the basketball front, you

407
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 4: know what I mean, Like you've got to stand on

408
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 4: all this shit you're talking about and when it doesn't go, well,

409
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,400
Speaker 4: that's the humility part. That's the part where you still

410
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 4: have to look at the look into the media and

411
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 4: look into the camera and still say whatever you want

412
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 4: to say. But to me, you're you're running after the

413
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 4: last two games because shit has necessarily gone your way.

414
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 4: And that's what I'm not definitely not talking about because

415
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:31,639
Speaker 4: you and I have both been labeled off the court.

416
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,879
Speaker 4: Well you might have a little thuggish tendencies in you,

417
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 4: but you know, b I was never in you know,

418
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 4: in those shit like that. But I'm talking strictly like basketball.

419
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 4: If you're gonna talk and and and again, I like

420
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 4: Dylan Brooks because to me, you know, Jack are saying

421
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:48,919
Speaker 4: is you know, check it or respect it, and no

422
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 4: one has checked it, you know what I mean. But

423
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 4: I'm saying he's kind of checking hisself now by just

424
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:56,360
Speaker 4: not standing on what he's said, you know what I mean.

425
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 4: I like the fact that Dylan Brooks lives rent free

426
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,440
Speaker 4: in a lot of different people's head and one has

427
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,919
Speaker 4: really done anything about it, but that the tables have

428
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:04,879
Speaker 4: turned slightly. And I don't like how he wants to

429
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,879
Speaker 4: blame the media and the fans and now he doesn't

430
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 4: want to talk after the game.

431
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 5: That's what I'm talking about, And.

432
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 2: I'm I'm I'm happy he did say those things about

433
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 2: Broun because because he brought a side Lebroun and I

434
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 2: never seen that. I never seen Lebron Broun walk up

435
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:19,440
Speaker 2: to nobody before the game, you know what I'm saying.

436
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 2: So I've been I've been dying to see this person

437
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 2: for twenty years.

438
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 3: Everybody say, well, Braun, ain't that guy.

439
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 2: I get it, But I've been dying to see this

440
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 2: guy for twenty years because if we would have seen

441
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 2: this guy from year one, Rach And I'm gonna say

442
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:32,120
Speaker 2: and I'm gonna say that we'd have seen this guy

443
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 2: in this Memphis series that we seen from year one,

444
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 2: we wouldn't be talking about who the best player of

445
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:37,880
Speaker 2: all time?

446
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:42,160
Speaker 4: A mad or mad or mean Lebron that's what Lebron's Yeah,

447
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 4: we wouldn't mean.

448
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 3: They wouldn't be Lebron.

449
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,440
Speaker 1: Tried to be mean for a season in Miami, members

450
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,399
Speaker 1: first year in Miami, and he said being a villain

451
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: did not do well for him. Villain like himself.

452
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 6: But I get it, I got.

453
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 5: It.

454
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:56,919
Speaker 2: Got to be in.

455
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 3: You're not on, you can't be on.

456
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:00,440
Speaker 1: I just want to know what you think act would

457
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:01,879
Speaker 1: look like. If he came in with the best with

458
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 1: no shirt.

459
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 5: We wouldn't be friends no more.

460
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 2: Hell, I wouldn't have no friends.

461
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:12,919
Speaker 1: I wanted to get to Devin Booker too, on the

462
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 1: other side of the series, though, because he's been electric,

463
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,440
Speaker 1: Sons hitting their stride, Booker averaging thirty five a game,

464
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 1: shooting fifty seven percent from the floor. So, Matt, would

465
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 1: you say Devin Booker has been the best player in

466
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:25,200
Speaker 1: the postseason so far?

467
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:26,880
Speaker 6: Would you give that title to someone else?

468
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 4: I want to say this before I say that this

469
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:31,920
Speaker 4: is the Kevin Durant effect, and this is not taking

470
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 4: anything away from Booker. It's the fact that Kevin Durant

471
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:39,159
Speaker 4: is on the floor too, and it frees up Booker

472
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:40,920
Speaker 4: so much. And obviously Bookers so has to go out

473
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 4: there and do what he does. But Booker's always been incredible.

474
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 4: But I think the freedom in the ability to do

475
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:49,639
Speaker 4: everything he's doing again. And this is definitely not a

476
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 4: knock on book because he's one of my favorite players,

477
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:53,919
Speaker 4: but the fact that Kevin Durant is that other wing

478
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 4: allows him to go crazy. With that said, I definitely

479
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 4: say that Booker is up, you know, probably top. You

480
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 4: could have him won two or three. I mean, there's

481
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 4: been a lot of great guys, Stephan and Deer and

482
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:09,120
Speaker 4: Fox has been a great battle in that series.

483
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:10,639
Speaker 5: Booker has been incredible.

484
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 4: Anthony Edwards, although his team hasn't really played well, he's

485
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 4: been incredible. You look over at Brunson, He's There's been

486
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 4: a lot of great individual performance this year. But I

487
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 4: definitely think Booker is the head of the class this year.

488
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 4: He's playing the lights out for them and I hope

489
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 4: it can continue.

490
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 2: When the last time Booker got a swing swing from

491
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 2: a double team wide open three right right, since KD

492
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 2: been there, man, they look good. I mean it's definitely

493
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 2: the KD effect. I mean, Matt said it all.

494
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 1: All right, Matt, So while I have you here by yourself,

495
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,200
Speaker 1: it's the time to ask you about the Matt Barnes

496
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 1: versus Matt Barnes series Kings Warriors.

497
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 6: Kings had a chance to.

498
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 1: Go up three to one, little sloppy played down the

499
00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 1: stretch some savvy from the Warriors means they're now tied

500
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 1: at two instead, and now Darren Fox is a fracture

501
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,920
Speaker 1: on his index finger of his shooting hand. Matt, how

502
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:07,920
Speaker 1: do you handicap this series from this point out?

503
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 4: It's fucked up, man, And I've been torn this whole

504
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 4: series rage obviously, you know Warriors in my history with them,

505
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 4: and we believe, and the opportunity to be on a

506
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 4: championship team, and then you know, Sacramento's my hometown team

507
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 4: and they've been bad for so long and they're finally

508
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 4: here and they're real and then they're the real deal.

509
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 4: And I think you touched on inexperience played a huge

510
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:36,680
Speaker 4: part in Game four. Down the stretch, clutch time, turnover,

511
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:42,159
Speaker 4: shot selection rotations, just a lot of things that you know,

512
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 4: the Warriors aren't going to beat themselves and I feel

513
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 4: like the Kings beat themselves in Game four and still

514
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 4: had a shot, you know, with Harrison Barnes at the

515
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 4: end of the game to win it. The unfortunate news

516
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 4: with Dearon Foxes is terrible. And I'm someone who's played

517
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 4: through several finger injuries, but I've never had the yeah, yeah,

518
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 4: but I've never had the load and the responsibility of

519
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 4: a de Aaron fox And I tell you, and I

520
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,680
Speaker 4: did play through this, but it shit was terrible, you know,

521
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 4: especially because similar to him, we were both very active

522
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,119
Speaker 4: on the defensive end. So anytime you swipe at a

523
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 4: ball and hit it the wrong way or even land

524
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,439
Speaker 4: and then offensively holding the ball and people swiping at you,

525
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:27,920
Speaker 4: and you know someone like Draymond is going to take

526
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 4: a hacksaw Jim Duggan hack at that hand like he should,

527
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 4: you know what I mean. That's a part of the game,

528
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 4: Like if someone has an injury, you go after that injury.

529
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 4: So when I heard the news yesterday, I was just

530
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:39,360
Speaker 4: so disheartened because I still feel like this team has

531
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,879
Speaker 4: a chance. I mean, I think Game five is a

532
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:45,199
Speaker 4: must win for Sacramento if they're going to move on.

533
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,160
Speaker 4: But they're gonna need de Aaron, so you know, I'm

534
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 4: praying that, you know, he's able to come back and

535
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,119
Speaker 4: be healthy because we want to see these teams at

536
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 4: full strength. You know, I didn't agree with the Draymond

537
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:57,200
Speaker 4: and you people can get mad all they want. I

538
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:58,879
Speaker 4: didn't think he should have been suspended because I want

539
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,639
Speaker 4: to see both these teams, you know, at their best.

540
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,639
Speaker 5: So Sacramento is right there.

541
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:07,679
Speaker 4: You hate to just you know, you hate to have

542
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 4: like these moral victories, but I think Sacramento has shown

543
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 4: that they're this team is real and for the next

544
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 4: handful of years, they're going to be very real and

545
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 4: continue to get better. But it is a must win.

546
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 4: Game five is a must win for Sacramento. You don't

547
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 4: want to let the Warriors win three straight games going

548
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:26,399
Speaker 4: back to uh San Francisco. So we will have to

549
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,920
Speaker 4: see how dearon Fox handles this injury. And then from

550
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 4: m King's side, Sabonis and heard her playing the simple

551
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 4: I have to step up.

552
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:33,160
Speaker 3: Keigan.

553
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 4: Murray had struggled the first three games, and he came

554
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,439
Speaker 4: out and had a tremendous game, and I didn't know

555
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,639
Speaker 4: why he wasn't playing down the stretch, but Herder and

556
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 4: Sabonis have yet to really find their rhythm in this game.

557
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 4: And I say that with all due respect to to

558
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 4: Sabonus because he's still putting up double doubles, but it's

559
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 4: just not his normal typical game if you've seen him

560
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 4: play all season. So Golden State is sitting right where

561
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,119
Speaker 4: they want to. You know, Sacramento had their first two

562
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,920
Speaker 4: games at home go and Stay handled their next two games.

563
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 4: But now you're starting to see the experience of where

564
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 4: Golden State has been the last eight to nine years.

565
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:04,880
Speaker 1: You mentioned that Draymond suspension, and you know, of course

566
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 1: the League office when they did it said that his

567
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 1: history came into play.

568
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 6: I thought.

569
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 1: Draymond, by the way, the other day, had the line

570
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:11,879
Speaker 1: of the playoffs so far. He said, I didn't know

571
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,920
Speaker 1: you could get suspended for a flagrant fell from seven

572
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:19,879
Speaker 1: years ago, which thought was great, Which is great. Draymon

573
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 1: really did an interesting thing in game four, by the way,

574
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,440
Speaker 1: is that he took himself out of the starting lineup.

575
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:28,159
Speaker 1: He went to Steve Kerr and after sitting on the

576
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 1: sidelines for Game three, he said he watched the game

577
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,360
Speaker 1: it was like watching film live and that he saw

578
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:35,479
Speaker 1: the extra space that was there by only having one

579
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:37,680
Speaker 1: big on the floor, and he went to Steve Kerr.

580
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 1: First he went to Steph Curry and asked him. Then

581
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 1: he went to Steve Kerr and said, I think that

582
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 1: you know, he said, look, I think we should just

583
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 1: start Kevon Looney, we should just start one. And he's

584
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:48,160
Speaker 1: the one who's earned it at this point. And then

585
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 1: you know, of course Steve did start Draymond for the

586
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:51,920
Speaker 1: beginning of the second half, but what did you think

587
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 1: of Draymond doing that overall and just stepping up and

588
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 1: taking that on himself and then also the effected head

589
00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 1: this this.

590
00:24:58,200 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 5: Is the reason why he's one of my favorite players.

591
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:00,399
Speaker 1: Uh.

592
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 4: Just and I think people get a glimpse of him

593
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 4: as a as a player during those two and a

594
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:08,159
Speaker 4: half hours. Well now you obviously get him on his

595
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:10,400
Speaker 4: podcast too, but just the way he thinks the game.

596
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:14,399
Speaker 4: One of the most intelligent high basketball IQ players that

597
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 4: I think this game has ever seen. And just a

598
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 4: stand up move, you know what I mean? I mean,

599
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 4: because that was the question, like, Hey, the Warriors finally

600
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 4: won a first game without Draymond, and obviously people are

601
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:25,119
Speaker 4: trying to say dumb shit like, oh, they're better with

602
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 4: the that's ridiculous, not better without him, That's an absolute fact.

603
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:31,679
Speaker 4: They don't have any championships if this guy isn't on

604
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 4: the team. But I just think the fact that you know,

605
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 4: obviously he stood up, you know what he probably you know,

606
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:38,440
Speaker 4: you know he thought he shouldn't have been ejected either

607
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 4: or suspended either, but he was. He took the time

608
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 4: to watch the game and kind of see the game.

609
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:46,159
Speaker 4: You know, most people couldn't wait, I can't wait to

610
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,479
Speaker 4: get back out there and do but he he saw

611
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,680
Speaker 4: how well they played without him, you know what I mean.

612
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 4: So it's just like, you know, for him to have

613
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 4: that kind of that mind and willing to sacrifice and

614
00:25:58,720 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 4: it worked.

615
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,399
Speaker 5: But him still being so instrumental in the game.

616
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 4: I mean, he had huge steals in blocks and rebounds

617
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:09,159
Speaker 4: down the stretch that really sealed this team's victory. So

618
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 4: his energy to win, so again another reason why Draymond

619
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 4: is not only one of my favorite players, but favorite people.

620
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 4: And again this is this is going to be big

621
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 4: for the Kings. I mean, they're in they're in uncharted

622
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 4: territory right now. You know, how do you bounce back

623
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 4: from two straight losses two games you possibly could have won.

624
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 4: There was chances, even in that first game when they

625
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 4: ended up losing by double digits, that if Sacramento could

626
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 4: have hit anything, they could have made a run.

627
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 5: So this is a great test for a young.

628
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:37,440
Speaker 4: Team going back home wounded, with guys not playing very well,

629
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 4: and you know that Golden State is looking. You know,

630
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,160
Speaker 4: Golden State sees blood in the water. Now you know

631
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:44,359
Speaker 4: they see blood in the water, they see a wounded animal.

632
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,400
Speaker 4: So we're gonna have to see how this Sacramento team

633
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:48,119
Speaker 4: responds behind to.

634
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 1: See how Sacramento rises to the occasion. I want to

635
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:52,400
Speaker 1: see other Warriors rise to the occasion too, because they've

636
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 1: been crappy on the road for so much of this

637
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 1: season that even with a golden opportunity in front of them,

638
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 1: I want to see if they can execute.

639
00:26:58,520 --> 00:26:59,400
Speaker 6: So we'll have to see.

640
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 1: It's a pivotal game five, one of the most fun

641
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 1: series in the first round. I can't wait, all right,

642
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:06,159
Speaker 1: I want to get to our Top Shot legendary moments

643
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,440

Speaker 1: and four of the NBA Finals. That is a good prize, people,

650
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 1: I know, right, Matt, I want to know which playoff

651
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:35,880
Speaker 1: series do you think has generated the most moments? Kings Warriors, Knicks, Cavs, Lakers,

652
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 1: grizz King's Warriors.

653
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 4: I think there was a stat that someone just sent me.

654
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 4: Let me look on my phone real quick. It was

655
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 4: the most viewed order to go Sacramento Kings versus Golden

656
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 4: State Warriors Game four, and ABC draws the largest NBA

657
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:52,160
Speaker 4: Playoff first round audience across any network in twenty one years.

658
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 4: They peaked out at ten point five million views. So

659
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 4: I'm a Homer, I'm a Norcow guy in North Kyle

660
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 4: is rocking right now, so I'm definitely gonna say that

661
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:07,120
Speaker 4: King's Warriors series. The battle between Stephan d'aron Fox has

662
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 4: been incredible and Daron Fox is letting everyone know I'm

663
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 4: one of the best players in the world.

664
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,120
Speaker 1: Those numbers are crazy too when you consider it's West

665
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 1: Coast game. So half the country. You know, that's eleven

666
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:20,160
Speaker 1: o'clock midnight type of situation. Everyone's staying too.

667
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:23,560

673
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 1: Let's take a look at Wednesday's game Makes Picks Game

674
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 1: five nix at Calves. Calves are five and a half

675
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 1: point favorites. Do the Knicks close it out in Cleveland

676
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 1: or Matt Can the Calves extend the series back to MSG?

677
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 4: That's a tough call, the nix of them. Brunt I mean,

678
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 4: I just I want to shout out Brunson man. I

679
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 4: just I always knew he was a good player, but

680
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 4: to see what his departure from Dallas has done and

681
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 4: what his arrival in New York has done has been incredible.

682
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 5: I don't think anyone saw him being this.

683
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 4: Pivotal, you know, with all due respect, and you know,

684
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 4: everyone said, like, you know, oh, they're paying him one

685
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 4: hundred million. I think he's underpaid and I've said this

686
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 4: a handful of times since like he's underpaid. This next

687
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 4: contract is going to be bigger, so first of all,

688
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 4: want to shout him out. It's going to be interesting,

689
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 4: I think for them for the for the Knicks to

690
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 4: close out Cleveland on Cleveland's home court, Julius Randall has

691
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 4: to show up to this series. Obviously, he had a

692
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 4: great season, but a bad, bad ankle sprain coming into

693
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 4: this playoffs, and I think he's kind of been a

694
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 4: shell of himself, settling for jumpers, maybe because his ankle

695
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 4: isn't as strong it is as it needs to be

696
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 4: for him to get downhill. But I think in order

697
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 4: for this team to close out Cleveland in Cleveland, it's

698
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:54,960
Speaker 4: going to have to ride on Julius Randall because I

699
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 4: pretty much feel like, you know what everyone else is

700
00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 4: going to give you. You know, Brunton is a gamer

701
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 4: of Mitchell's coming off a bad game at the Garden,

702
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 4: so you know he wants to get back to the

703
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 4: crib and and really show up and show out. So

704
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 4: I would give the nod to Cleveland right now because

705
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 4: I think it's going to be easier for Donovan Mitchell

706
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 4: to turn it on at home than Julius Randa to

707
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 4: kind of find his rhythm.

708
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 6: Mitchell going out like this, frankly.

709
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I still would think New York is going

710
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 1: to win the series, but a gentleman sweep losing it.

711
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:23,479
Speaker 6: Home, I don't know.

712
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say that Donovan Mitchell is gonna come up,

713
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 1: show up big, and and then you know, take the

714
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 1: series back to New York and then I see the

715
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 1: next closing it.

716
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 6: Out, but we'll see.

717
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 1: That's why why they play the games. I want to

718
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 1: get to Lakers grizz too. Four point favorites. Do you

719
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 1: think that's going to happen? Or do you think Lebron

720
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 1: sends Dylan Brooks and company to Can't Coot? This is

721
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 1: a tough one for me.

722
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think Memphis as long as you know John

723
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 4: took a few falls last game, scary falls if he can,

724
00:30:57,600 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 4: if he's going to be on the court, I give

725
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 4: Memphis the edge in Game five, and then the Lakers

726
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 4: got to finish it home because Memphis is one of

727
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 4: the loudest arenas in the world, and you don't want

728
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 4: to have to go back for a Game seven. So

729
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 4: it'll be a Game seven even though it's Game six.

730
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 5: In LA.

731
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 4: I give the nod as long as Joss playing. I

732
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 4: give the nod to Memphis going home and protecting home

733
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 4: and then having to come back to LA and pretty

734
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 4: much play.

735
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 5: It's going to be a Game seven for the Lakers.

736
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 1: Yeah. It's gonna be interesting too if that series keeps

737
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 1: extending because they play more often now, right. I mean,

738
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 1: they were playing at big breaks in the beginning part

739
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 1: of the series.

740
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 6: Now they're going to start playing every other day. That

741
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 6: kind of thing.

742
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 1: Travel is going to go back and forth, so an

743
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 1: older team could get more tired. It's gonna be interesting

744
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 1: to see. But I think Memphis is favored for the

745
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 1: right reasons.

746
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 6: We'll have to see real quick.

747
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, Rach, before we jump, I want to go back

748
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 4: to that Madison Garden crowd. How great is it to

749
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 4: just see them going nuts and being loud and then

750
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 4: being star studded. I mean, I'm really happy for the

751
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 4: Knicks and what they've been able to do for their

752
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 4: fan base, because we all know that's one of the craziest, wildest, disrespectful,

753
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 4: greatest intelligent fan bases there is. And the fact that

754
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 4: they are rocking in New York.

755
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 1: I just think you imagine if things continue the way

756
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 1: they're going and it's Nick's heat in the second round.

757
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 6: No, yes, how insane is that going to be?

758
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 1: And I want to see all the old guys from

759
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 1: both sides coming back and sitting in the crowd.

760
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, they all got to show up.

761
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 1: I want to see that Van Gundylons of Warning tape

762
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 1: over and over and over again.

763
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 6: I want the whole thing.

764
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 1: Getting ahead of ourselves, obviously, but the way both series

765
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 1: are trending as we said here, I mean, I just

766
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 1: think the garden would be happened Ogrer your series. Getting

767
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:52,480
Speaker 1: back to that Warriors Kings. Warriors are four point favorites

768
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:53,720
Speaker 1: with that deer and Fox injury.

769
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 6: That's how the swing was.

770
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 1: The Kings were favorited, and then as soon as that

771
00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 1: news broke, it swing right over back to the Warriors.

772
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 1: So you didn't quite make a call before. I want

773
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 1: to know who takes the game. Give me one team

774
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 1: or the other.

775
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 4: If the Aaron Fox plays, I'm going with the Kings.

776
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 4: If Dearon Fox sits out, this series is going to

777
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 4: be over. And I think Sacramento fans even know that.

778
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 4: I mean, he's been so instrumental for this team on

779
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 4: both ends of the floor again going shot for shot

780
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 4: with one of the greatest players we've ever seen in

781
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 4: Steph Curry and and out dueling them some of these games.

782
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 4: So I think his availability is going to be the key,

783
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 4: hopefully that you know it's been I'm sure it's been

784
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 4: around the clock treatment. He may have to shoot, shoot something,

785
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 4: you know, he takes some kind of shot to be

786
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 4: able to get out there. But I think if he's

787
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 4: able to play, he will play. He knows how important

788
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 4: this is. And I saw something mad at him and

789
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 4: I haven't seen that, that back and forth between him

790
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 4: and Draymond, And because Deeran is such a mild manner, polite,

791
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 4: quiet guy, but when I saw him throwing cuss words

792
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 4: and asist and that, I'm like, hell yeah, I knew

793
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 4: it was in him.

794
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 5: I just wanted to see it.

795
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 4: So I hate to see that injury can possibly derail

796
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 4: uh this team's opportunity. But I got Sacramento de.

797
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:15,439
Speaker 1: Wet Our closing thoughts is signing with the Rockets. Look,

798
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 1: you thought Matt the Rockets needed a players coach for

799
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:18,839
Speaker 1: such a young team.

800
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:19,919
Speaker 6: Is he may the right guy?

801
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 5: UH?

802
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:26,799
Speaker 4: Is is different goes about I think he's a players coach,

803
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:30,400
Speaker 4: but he's he's going to be more. He's going to

804
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 4: stand on it more than And then why am I

805
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:37,400
Speaker 4: forgetting his name now my former assistant coach, I'm forgetting

806
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 4: us Steve silas coach Silace. I think it's a it's

807
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:45,359
Speaker 4: a solid move, you know what I mean. May, He's

808
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 4: as a head coach was great. You know, just his

809
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 4: off the court stuff is kind of what got him

810
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:52,359
Speaker 4: in some hot water. But I mean, you can't take

811
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:54,319
Speaker 4: anything away from what he did to that to that

812
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:56,920
Speaker 4: Boston team. Although there had a lot of talent, he

813
00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:59,280
Speaker 4: was the driving force kind of building that foundation.

814
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 5: And you remember.

815
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 4: Boston was terrible the first half of the season and

816
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 4: they finally bought into what I May was preaching and

817
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 4: they hit that stride in January and made a tremendous run.

818
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 4: So I think is a great coach. I think obviously

819
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 4: some off the court stuff has kind of derailed that.

820
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 4: But at the end of the day, this Houston team

821
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:18,440
Speaker 4: is a young team and they need someone who is

822
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 4: going to be more vocal, more stern, almost an asshole

823
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:25,279
Speaker 4: to kind of get these young guys in line, because

824
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:28,240
Speaker 4: there's a lot of young hotheads that are very talented

825
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 4: over there with no direction, and you hear and I

826
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 4: have people over there saying, you know that management told

827
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 4: coach Silace to take it easy on on Jalen Green

828
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:39,719
Speaker 4: ye a quorter and all that kind of stuff. So

829
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 4: I may is not the kind of guy that's going

830
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:45,280
Speaker 4: to stand down to anybody. He'll swing on somebody if needed.

831
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:48,360
Speaker 4: So I hope that he is a coach that can

832
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:51,400
Speaker 4: build a foundation because I like the young talent over there.

833
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 5: They just don't have.

834
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 6: It's going to be a huge swing of the ping

835
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:54,280
Speaker 6: pong balls.

836
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 1: You know. If they end up getting Victor webin Yama,

837
00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 1: then the entire situation changes. If they don't, that is

838
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 1: it's a whole different thing for him. But I'm very

839
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:04,360
Speaker 1: interested to see what he's going to do before we go.

840
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:07,359
Speaker 1: I want to shout out Ann Edwards. Five thirty point

841
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:11,560
Speaker 1: games and only ten postseason appearances. That is absolute madness.

842
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 1: The only other player to reach that number Kobe Bean Bryant.

843
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 1: What do you think Ann Edwards steiling is matt because

844
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:19,399
Speaker 1: this is ridiculous what we've.

845
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:19,839
Speaker 6: Seen so far.

846
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:23,960
Speaker 4: I mean to think that, you know, there was a

847
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 4: real debate where people thought that you know, and I

848
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:29,799
Speaker 4: love LaMelo. That LaMelo was. You know, he won Rookie

849
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:34,720
Speaker 4: of the Year. Anthony Edwards is a superstar in the making.

850
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:38,759
Speaker 4: He's got the charisma and the character off the court

851
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:41,320
Speaker 4: to continue to make his you know, his his his

852
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 4: his play on the court that much better because I

853
00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 4: feel like his personality matches how good he is as

854
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:50,440
Speaker 4: a player. To be only twenty one, we obviously know

855
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 4: is his team. The sky is the limit for Anthony Edwards.

856
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 4: I mean, he's and I think two. Once he understands

857
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:58,719
Speaker 4: that he can lock up on defense, because he is

858
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:01,160
Speaker 4: one of the greatest athletes this game has ever seen.

859
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:03,319
Speaker 4: Once he starts to playing hisself on the defensive end,

860
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:04,760
Speaker 4: the league is in trouble.

861
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:07,160
Speaker 1: League may already be in trouble when he's on the court.

862
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:09,279
Speaker 1: I've been so blown away by him.

863
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 2: He is.

864
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 1: He is just so much fun too. So I'm looking

865
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:15,439
Speaker 1: forward tomorrow. I know that we probably won't get him

866
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 1: much longer in the playoffs, but still pretty good. All right,

867
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:21,239
Speaker 1: Before we go to I want to just play a

868
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:23,319
Speaker 1: little bit. We got on headliners this week. We got

869
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:25,799
Speaker 1: Dwayne Wade as the guest and Matt you got to

870
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:28,680
Speaker 1: hear this. He was explaining to me what happened at

871
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:31,040
Speaker 1: his draft party. You know part of that, of course.

872
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:34,239
Speaker 1: Incredible two thousand and three draft class gets picked fifth

873
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:37,040
Speaker 1: overall by the Miami Heat. He's in Chicago, he's a

874
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:39,719
Speaker 1: young kid. He's really excited, and take a listen to

875
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 1: what happened. And it was amazing to me on draft night,

876
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:45,680
Speaker 1: because you're in Chicago, you have your party.

877
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 6: It's amazing.

878
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:50,840
Speaker 1: And honestly, I don't know if this story is true.

879
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 6: I know I've heard you tell.

880
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:52,400
Speaker 3: It, but.

881
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 5: Why it ain't true?

882
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:56,839
Speaker 1: It's too crazy.

883
00:37:57,440 --> 00:37:58,239
Speaker 5: Let's talk about it.

884
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:02,440
Speaker 1: Someone comes up to says.

885
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 7: My cousin in the party, my cousin Antoine Wade, which

886
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 7: you know n Twine shout out to Antoine. He came

887
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 7: up to me and he said, Bro, Michael Jordan is here.

888
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:13,720
Speaker 7: And I said, where is he at?

889
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:16,839
Speaker 1: You hadn't met him. You're a kid in Chicago who

890
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 1: grew up watching the Bolts, and your cousin says Michael Jordan.

891
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:22,759
Speaker 7: Michael, so I think he's playing games with me. So

892
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 7: I'm like, where he at? Yeah, and he's like he's outside.

893
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:27,799
Speaker 5: They won't let him in.

894
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 7: Now I'm like this, He's he's like, bro, I'm not playing,

895
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 7: and I was like, okay, so let's go. So we

896
00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 7: being lining out the club. Right right out the doors,

897
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:44,879
Speaker 7: it's a slew of motorcycles and Michael Jordan is sitting

898
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:46,960
Speaker 7: right there on one of the motorcycles, right up to

899
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 7: him like it was like seeing like a ghost. And

900
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:52,319
Speaker 7: I went right up to him and he said, he

901
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:53,640
Speaker 7: was like, I just wanted to come and show you

902
00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:55,840
Speaker 7: some love. Like he was, he was a little felt.

903
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 7: He felt the way I don't know why they want

904
00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 7: to let Mike in you have fifty people with him.

905
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 7: But yeah, he was outside, he was on a motorcycle

906
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:05,480
Speaker 7: and he said, I was coming through the show you

907
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:08,279
Speaker 7: some love, congratulations, you know, and the whole welcome to

908
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 7: the NBA type of thing.

909
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:11,040
Speaker 5: And so that's a true story.

910
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:13,319
Speaker 7: That was my first time meeting Michael Jordan, and it

911
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:15,319
Speaker 7: was the coolest experience ever. He was sitting on a

912
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:16,480
Speaker 7: motorcycle looking cooliest.

913
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:19,879
Speaker 4: So you're trying to tell me that a bouncer didn't

914
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 4: let Michael Jordan anywhere, let alone Dwyane Wade Draft party

915
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:30,120
Speaker 4: but anywhere. Yeah, hopefully that guy got fired. But Rach,

916
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:32,600
Speaker 4: how has it been. I mean, obviously your new show

917
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:34,920
Speaker 4: headliner shout out to you. I'm so excited to kind

918
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:37,359
Speaker 4: of see you back in your element. But I mean,

919
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:39,319
Speaker 4: you don't fuck around. I mean, right from the jump,

920
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:41,319
Speaker 4: you're coming out with Hall of Famer after Hall of

921
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 4: Famers left and right. How has that experience been, in particular, how.

922
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:45,719
Speaker 6: Was the de fun?

923
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 1: You know, I covered Dwayne from the moment he was

924
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:50,000
Speaker 1: drafted on, so it was fun to relive with him

925
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:53,239
Speaker 1: some of the moments that I walked through throughout both

926
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:55,839
Speaker 1: of our careers. But he's still telling stories that I've

927
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:58,080
Speaker 1: never heard before, which is what's been really fun about

928
00:39:58,080 --> 00:39:59,440
Speaker 1: the show. It's one of the great parts of all

929
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:01,160
Speaker 1: the smoke is get some of that stuff that just

930
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:04,400
Speaker 1: hasn't come out in the media before. There's a story

931
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 1: he tells about him and Lebron James after they lost

932
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:10,600
Speaker 1: that twenty eleven finals where things went so bad for them.

933
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 1: Lebron's flinging himself off a balcony into a pool, just

934
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 1: all kinds of crazy shit.

935
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 6: So I like when you have these longer form opportunities

936
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 6: to be able to really.

937
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 1: Dive deep into what guys are thinking and what they're doing,

938
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:26,759
Speaker 1: and to catch a guy like Dwayne Wade, who is

939
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:29,479
Speaker 1: about to walk into the Hall of Fame, came up in.

940
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:30,680
Speaker 6: A really difficult situation.

941
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:32,799
Speaker 1: Grew up, you know, his first ten years in a

942
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 1: gang riddled part of Chicago.

943
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:35,760
Speaker 6: His mom, who by the way, is amazing.

944
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 1: His mom has come back and her life and become

945
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 1: a real advocate and speaker and helped all sorts of

946
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 1: people with drug addictions because she was there.

947
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:45,200
Speaker 6: She was a heroin addict. She was a coke addict.

948
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:47,640
Speaker 1: Dwayne was talking in this interview about how he didn't

949
00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:49,600
Speaker 1: know if his mom was coming home for days at

950
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:51,920
Speaker 1: a time or not. And he's eight years old lying

951
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:54,399
Speaker 1: in the bed, couldn't sleep because his mother isn't there

952
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:55,960
Speaker 1: and he doesn't know if she's dead or not on

953
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:57,640
Speaker 1: the street. And so the fact that he was able

954
00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:00,719
Speaker 1: to come through that to become a Hall of Fame

955
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:03,960
Speaker 1: basketball player, I think it was just amazing to sit

956
00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:05,600
Speaker 1: with him in chat. So I'm excited for people to
