1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,560
Speaker 1: We just watched Luca carry a team to the NBA Finals,

2
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:07,640
Speaker 1: And as you just said, and I've been thinking about it,

3
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:11,320
Speaker 1: this is the time of the year when guys get right.

4
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:14,159
Speaker 1: We're about to have like a week off with the

5
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 1: All Star Game. We're about to have that time where

6
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:20,760
Speaker 1: everything kind of ramps up. And so Luca now has

7
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 1: this three four weeks. What kind of chip on his

8
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:26,119
Speaker 1: shoulder do you think he has?

9
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:26,439
Speaker 2: Now?

10
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 3: He has a crazy chip. And I could tell by

11
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:32,479
Speaker 3: his professionalism and press conference like they're asking him questions

12
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 3: like what do you think about Dallas management? He stops

13
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 3: and he laughs, Oh, he's pissed off.

14
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 2: And you made a great point. You're with the.

15
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 3: Guy that's forty one years old and knows how to

16
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 3: take care of his body. You can get to see

17
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 3: what he does and maybe he's going to be like,

18
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 3: hey man, people calling you fat, Let's try this for

19
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 3: a week, Let's do this, Like Lebron, what do you eat?

20
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 2: How do you do this? How do you do that?

21
00:00:57,760 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 3: And Lebron, like you said, they're going to be trading

22
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 3: secret and he's in LA and you know he got

23
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 3: all the hoop around him. His jersey is number one

24
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 3: and Lucah Luca. So he has a you know, brand new,

25
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 3: brand new confidence. Oh, he's pissed off and he's gonna

26
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 3: come back in in shape and he's going to put

27
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 3: up some numbers and listen. For them, it's a win

28
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 3: because if they make the playing game, let's just say

29
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 3: they win one series.

30
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 2: Oh my god, La and New York is the same thing.

31
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 2: It's the same thing.

32
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: I just I don't even think the season matters for

33
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 1: La because so we have never had a twenty five

34
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,119
Speaker 1: year old that's made five first team All MBS. It's

35
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 1: never happened. And he's doing things that are Will and

36
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: Oscar and Lebron. Those guys are not available. They're not

37
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 1: We've never seen this. And now you're telling me he

38
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: just bought a house with his family. He's got like

39
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: a one year old daughter, and he's been the wonder

40
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: kid his entire life. He's been beating adults overseas since

41
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: he was sixteen years old. He's already taken a team

42
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 1: to the finals. He's already been a top two, top

43
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: three MVP vote getter. And now you this team that

44
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: drafted him looked him in the face and said, we

45
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: don't believe in you long term. We've never had someone

46
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: this great, this young now, with this much motivation, and

47
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 1: we've seen this Luka doncic kid. Oh, Devin Booker, you

48
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,239
Speaker 1: want to talk trash, I'm going to destroy you. Oh

49
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: I can't handle the clippers in Kawhi. Here's forty in

50
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: a game winner. You were courtside in the Western Conference

51
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 1: finals and said, I didn't know he had that killer

52
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: in him. You gave a killer motivation, not on my watch.

53
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,359
Speaker 1: I'm not going to be the one that traded the killer,

54
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: not me.

55
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 2: Sorry.

56
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 3: And what I like about it is, I'm watching all

57
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 3: these shows. They don't really talk about super Bowl that much.

58
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 3: The super Bowl get one segment, Luca ad gets nine segments.

59
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: Wenby Wemby now has a running mate in Daron Fox,

60
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 1: and it's not even.

61
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 2: Talked about, even talked about.

62
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: What would if Luca called you and said, hey, big fella,

63
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 1: I know that you went to LA with expectations. You've

64
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: also been talked about with like your work ethic and stuff.

65
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: How would you approach this? What would you tell you?

66
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 3: I would tell them emmy stf you make them shut

67
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 3: the fuck up, because you know, for me and my mother,

68
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 3: who's A very wise woman told me this because I

69
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 3: used to go crazy from criticism. But she always used

70
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 3: to say, see if there's some truth inside the criticism

71
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 3: before you go off. Oh you'll never you never win

72
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 3: a championship if you don't hit free throws. She might

73
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 3: be right. So what do I do? All Right, I

74
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 3: gotta I got average forty, then I got I got,

75
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 3: I got to dominate. So we're told bad than if

76
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 3: I miss sixty five six three. Those wanting matter. So

77
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 3: he's gonna have to listen to all that stuff. Okay,

78
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 3: you're not in shape. You may have to start eating salad.

79
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 3: My boy. Oh he goes to the wine bar, you

80
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 3: may have to chill out on the wine. He does this,

81
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 3: and he does that. He was at fat camp. Now

82
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 3: you just got to shut him up. And I commend

83
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 3: him for being super classy because he's a better man

84
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 3: than I am being super classy. So they get get right,

85
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 3: get healthy, and just take over.

86
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 1: It's of all the conspiracies that have come out. Oh

87
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 1: this is to improve ratings in the NBA. Oh this

88
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 1: is because, as you mentioned, there's the Dallas thing where

89
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:41,159
Speaker 1: maybe they want to do a casino. All these things

90
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: when you hear these conspiracy theories, my first thought is, man,

91
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: that's how bad of a trade was for Dallas. Like

92
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 1: that there we have conspiracy theories. Do you believe any

93
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: of it or is it just fun conversation.

94
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 3: I think it's just fun conversation. But in the treachery

95
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,840
Speaker 3: of the business of basketball, which people just come out

96
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 3: and say, like I want Nico to say, this is

97
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 3: why we trade him, like nobody's really given an answer,

98
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 3: Like we want to know. Derk wants to know, Mark

99
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 3: Cuban wants to know. All of Dallas wants to know

100
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 3: why you trade one of the best players in the league.

101
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 1: So one thing, the one thing that I can take

102
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: from Nico's press conference that commented at it was he

103
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 1: kept mentioning culture, and he kept saying defense wins championships.

104
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: And it sounds like from everything I've heard and the

105
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: reports that are coming out that it sounds like they

106
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 1: were worried about giving this guy so much money because

107
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,679
Speaker 1: he already had so much control down there in Dallas,

108
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: and they didn't think his work ethic was something that

109
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: you build around. Nico was Kobe's guy. It sounded like

110
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: they didn't believe in them long term.

111
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,919
Speaker 3: Okay, well say that then yeah say it so and

112
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 3: so so. Other people can't get likes by making up

113
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 3: bs conspiracy theories because once one of these conspiracy theories

114
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 3: catches leg, now you got a whole other conversation, a

115
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 3: whole other explanation. Now, I want a guy that could

116
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 3: stop a guy, or want a guy that's first team

117
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,039
Speaker 3: All NBA five years in a row, and and and

118
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 3: averaging twenty eight and only gonna get better and has

119
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,280
Speaker 3: that dog in them Richard, I'll take the guy at

120
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 3: that average twenty eight. And that's why you know, I

121
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 3: don't you know, talk to Chuck all the time because

122
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 3: I've been a part of it. You have to have

123
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 3: timely stops. You have to have guys that want to

124
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 3: play defense. But like, for example, my guys are Rick Fox,

125
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 3: James Posey, like they were known as defensive players, but

126
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 3: they weren't. They They were not the Gary Payton type

127
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 3: of defensive players like Gary. When you talk about Gary Payton,

128
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 3: Gary Payton locking you Now, My guys are just play hard,

129
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 3: have timely stops, and then you know, drive and bring

130
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 3: them to me. We get a time If you can

131
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,919
Speaker 3: have two or three, four or five timely stops, especially

132
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 3: when when you have a lead and they can give

133
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 3: you momentum. That's what it's gonna take. Like you talk

134
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 3: about oh like like like like Boston, like they're not

135
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,280
Speaker 3: known for defense, but their team, their team plays great defense,

136
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 3: and they have timely stops. When they beat Dallas, they

137
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 3: had a lot of day they don't let Luca get

138
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 3: off and they have four or five possession where Luca

139
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 3: had to pass the ball and do it like. Those

140
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 3: are timely stops. So again, you give me four guys

141
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 3: and give me timely stops. I still need one or

142
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 3: two guys that can put that thing in a hole

143
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 3: and averaging forty. I'm going with that all the time.

144
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 3: So you know, again that was just another excuse. But

145
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 3: I'd rather just have some balls and come out and say,

146
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 3: hey man, we didn't believe in them.

147
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: I'll say this too. February twenty fifth, MAVs at Lakers

00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: I'm telling you right now to our friends at Draftkicks,

151
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: I am going to love making a parlay with Luca

152
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 1: drop and forty. Lebron's gonna have like ten dimes. I

153
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: might even put some bets on Luca drop in fifty

154
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: that Night's how confident I am.

155
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 3: Are they playing in Dallas? No, it's in La Okay,

156
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:06,000

Speaker 3: do it.

169
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: Luca hits like a huge three and then lifts up

Speaker 3: Fat, Yes exactly, Oh yeah?

00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 2: What like?

173
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: So hold on, I'm curious, Like you went to Miami

174
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 1: and there was a lot of people doubting you from La.

175
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 1: Did you notice that, I know, like you joke around

176
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: about the body fat tests and stuff when you had

177
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,679
Speaker 1: a chip on your shoulder from Lakers Miami How did

178
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: did you change? Like, did you find your work ethic change?

179
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: Did you find your preparation change? Were you more motivated?

180
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:11,959
Speaker 2: Uh?

181
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,439
Speaker 3: I had a conversation with Pat and we had lost

182
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 3: early that year, so Pat was like, hey, I needed

183
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 3: to do this. I was like, all right, I'll switch

184
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,079
Speaker 3: it up, but didn't do a lot of basketball stuff,

185
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:22,959
Speaker 3: just did a lot of UFC and changed the way

186
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 3: I ate and came in very, very late, and we

187
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 3: could have won it that first year. Like I always

188
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 3: tell a story, made to the EFTs and Conference finals.

189
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,319
Speaker 3: I begged coach fang Gundy. I said, bro, we already

190
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 3: got the number one, number two seed, we got five

191
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 3: games left. Let me chill. I work out every day,

192
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,680
Speaker 3: do it. Just let me chill. And he wanted me

193
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 3: to play a game and I was out there lollygagging

194
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 3: around and Jermaine O'Neill hit me in my thigh and

195
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,359
Speaker 3: split my thigh. We still made to the Eastern Confinals,

196
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,319
Speaker 3: lost in game seven, but I truly believe if you'd

197
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 3: have gave me that time off, we definitely could have

198
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 3: won won the championship. But here see a question in

199
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 3: my work ethic change? Yeah, because now you got people

200
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 3: doubt me, so now again I want to shut them up.

201
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 3: Didn't do it that year, but came back next year

202
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,440
Speaker 3: and did shut them up. What time is it? It's

203
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 3: game time the NFL playoffs, say here, baby, man missed
