Speaker 1: On this episode of The Heat Check, shockingly, alarmingly, trader
Speaker 1: Danny age has come out of retirement to take the
Speaker 1: job as a new GM. I could not be happier
Speaker 1: for this news, and I'll tell you why on the episode.
Speaker 1: I am right again, of course, and Celtics fans are
Speaker 1: wrong again. We get in now to how he became
Speaker 1: CEO and president and what it means for the Portland Trailblazers.
Speaker 1: And we also detail in excruciatingly detailed Steph's historic night
Speaker 1: and how he is now what we already knew, the
Speaker 1: greatest shooter in NBA history and probably forever after. And
Speaker 1: so maybe it's his father Dell like also still shooting.
Speaker 1: Del Curry still shooting. All right, Brock, let's get.
Speaker 2: It to it. I'm perfect, good Ray, I'm starting.
Speaker 1: Utah, but it's really about Portland. Utah Jazz announced that
Speaker 1: they are going to be hiring Danny Ainge as not
Speaker 1: only alternate governor but CEO of the team. Good job,
Speaker 1: good job, you touched us. Congratulations to uh never working
Speaker 1: in the NBA again. Uh, just taking some time for
Speaker 1: my personal health and wellness. Danny Ainge, somehow, he has
Speaker 1: made a full recovery in less than six months. This
Speaker 1: is according to the woj bo.
Speaker 3: This is the bomb.
Speaker 1: This is the sound of the woj bomb age will
Speaker 1: oversee basketball and Justin Xanik will remain GM. I have
Speaker 1: two things to say. One, I told you so I
Speaker 1: knew it. I fucking knew it. Yes I did. I
Speaker 1: try to tell Celtics fans this was a lie. When
Speaker 1: Danny Ainge retired, I was like, he was fired. You know,
Speaker 1: it's done. It's done for Danny Ainge. And the world
Speaker 1: is like, no, he he was not feeling well. He
Speaker 1: had some health issues, he had a heart thing. This
Speaker 1: is Urban Meyer, folks, this is what we're talking about.
Speaker 1: This is now six months later, he's CEO of the
Speaker 1: Utah jess what you think come on now, and all
Speaker 1: you Boston fans like, yeah, he's never gonna work again.
Speaker 1: This is the end of Danny Ainge. This is what
Speaker 1: he said. This is what he's tried to pedal to us,
Speaker 1: because he's a fucking pedler that he is. What like
Speaker 1: why they call him trader Danny. When I had quote,
Speaker 1: when I had health issues two years ago in the playoffs,
Speaker 1: I started thinking about it, played dramatic musicun Now you're
Speaker 1: surround by your six children in the hospital and they're saying, hey,
Speaker 1: he's doing some business. Hey, you need to quit doing
Speaker 1: this for work is causing you too much stress. That's
Speaker 1: probably when I started thinking about retirement, he explained. He
Speaker 1: said his health was more important, he needed to be
Speaker 1: with his family, and then he goes, yeah, then these
Speaker 1: two last year two years have been tough in the bubble.
Speaker 1: All these rules, all these scrutiny and protocols keeping us
Speaker 1: safe that I've had to go through has not made
Speaker 1: it as much fun. Wait, you mean a pandemic took
Speaker 1: the fun away, Dandy. I had to trust my instincts.
Speaker 1: My instincts told me a couple of months ago it
Speaker 1: was time for me to move on. The fact that
Speaker 1: nobody was trading with you probably was an indication that
Speaker 1: it was time.
Speaker 2: To move on. He said this.
Speaker 1: This is when you knew it was a lie. I
Speaker 1: don't know what my future holds. I don't have any plans,
Speaker 1: any plans right now, but I'm thinking about retiring when
Speaker 1: somebody retires the like. There is no plans. It's just
Speaker 1: me and the golf course and the world as my oyster.
Speaker 1: I might take up painting. When he says I I'm
Speaker 1: not sure what my future holds, he already knows he's
Speaker 1: got some things in the works. So me as a pessimist,
Speaker 1: which I am reading between the lines, it's to me
Speaker 1: meant this was not the last time, This is not
Speaker 1: the last that we had seen of Danny Ainge. He
Speaker 1: would pop up like little whack a Mole some other place,
Speaker 1: getting a new chance, new places to fleece, other gms,
Speaker 1: and my radar was ultra high. As someone who is
Speaker 1: a Portland Trailblazer fan, knowing we were on the ropes,
Speaker 1: I knew there was a possibility of that Danny Angel
Speaker 1: might come back to the Rowe city where he grew up,
Speaker 1: where he played Danny Ainge. He loves talking about how
Speaker 1: he's from Portland, and automatically people are like, oh, rumors
Speaker 1: swirling about Danny Ainge maybe the new GM Portland. And
Speaker 1: thank God, thank Jesus, thank the Latter Day Saints. That
Speaker 1: Mormonism is stronger than any other affiliation, that damn polygamy.
Speaker 1: I tell you what it's strong. I tell you what
Speaker 1: it causes you to go places. Who cares. Hometown doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: Coffee doesn't matter. Polygamy it rules all. And now now
Speaker 1: Mormon Danny goes back to Mormonville without any Starbucks around,
Speaker 1: and he gets to fucking lead the Mormon troops into battle.
Speaker 1: Thank fucking God.
Speaker 2: I tell you what.
Speaker 1: I tweeted this today. The best news is knowing that
Speaker 1: Danny Ainge is now hired. When we're in the middle
Speaker 1: of a GM search, we now cannot hire Danny Inge.
Speaker 1: Thank fucking God. I tell you what. Like when the
Speaker 1: world is thinking about chaos and they are like, we're
Speaker 1: we're very wounded right now. We are a wounded animal,
Speaker 1: and Danny Ainge would be the final stake in the
Speaker 1: heart of us that would kill us as a franchise, truthfully,
Speaker 1: Like it would be an immediate jolt. Fans would get excited,
Speaker 1: hometown hero goes back to Portland, and then we would
Speaker 1: slowly die. Just drip drip, drip, drip drip. Everybody knows
Speaker 1: he wasn't good, Like outside of Jason Tatum and Jaylen Brown, Like,
Speaker 1: what has Danny Ainge really done? Couldn't trade for shit?
Speaker 1: He got Evan Fournier got fleeced. Couldn't get Vusevich, they
Speaker 1: said no, couldn't get Aaron Gordon I said no, So
Speaker 1: he got Evan Fournier, the third best Orlando Magic, and
Speaker 1: he used up all of his taxpayer exception for Evan Fournier,
Speaker 1: who didn't even end up staying, who later became a
Speaker 1: New York nick Gross. He got Kemba Walker, who ended
Speaker 1: up being washed like Danny Ainge. Danny Ainge is not good.
Speaker 1: He's not a great talent evaluator. He's always trying to
Speaker 1: fleece everyone, and so people are they're tired of his
Speaker 1: games and they don't want to do any deals with them. Listen,
Speaker 1: I already had Neil O'll share the people they want
Speaker 1: to do deals with. I don't want to do that again.
Speaker 1: I want someone with fresh slate. You know when they
Speaker 1: in politics, they're like, oh, we can't have this guy
Speaker 1: because we know his record on this, you know, like
Speaker 1: Joe Cronin. Joe Cronin doesn't even have a record, Like
Speaker 1: there's nothing to even attack Joe Cronin on, Like you
Speaker 1: could Joe Cronin could do some deals, boy, And thank
Speaker 1: god we now have news. Damian Lillard came on the
Speaker 1: record last night to Jared Greenberg of TNT, and he
Speaker 1: put out this Jamie and Lillard told me tonight that
Speaker 1: he endorses Joe Cronin becoming the Blazers full time GM.
Speaker 1: WHOA tell you what, Because the wagons are circling, the
Speaker 1: venom is out, the world is against us. Newsbreakers are
Speaker 1: looking for chaos and they are in absolute shambles right now.
Speaker 1: They are sick because, let's be honest, the business, the newsbreakers,
Speaker 1: like WOJ, the entire NBA collective community wants Portland to
Speaker 1: become a dumpster fire. They do. They're rooting for chaos.
Speaker 1: They are rooting for us to be an upheaval right all.
Speaker 1: Not only does Terry Stotts get fired done, that's one
Speaker 1: piece of the puzzle. That's one little Jenga out the way.
Speaker 1: Then Neil o'shade the GM that was there when Dame
Speaker 1: gets drafted, he's gone. That's another Jenga out the way.
Speaker 1: Joe Cronin doesn't get hired. We had a new GM
Speaker 1: in he makes way. All of the staff then get fired,
Speaker 1: don't they. Now he brings in Tayshaun Prince, brings in
Speaker 1: all the Memphis Grizzlies guys that he's working with right now.
Speaker 1: So everybody's gone. It's just a baron. It's like that
Speaker 1: meme where Will Smith walks into the house and nobody's there.
Speaker 1: That's now all the Blazers, that's what.
Speaker 2: They're rooting for.
Speaker 1: That's what they are rooting for, because they want Damian
Speaker 1: Lillard to force a trade like and this is the
Speaker 1: environment that forcing a trade creates. That's that's the environment.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: You already see right now that this is the case
Speaker 1: because ESPN right this second you can go online. This
Speaker 1: is many weeks after Damian Lillard has gone on the
Speaker 1: record for the millionth time and said, Hey, I don't
Speaker 1: want to leave Portland. I'm staying in Portland. And this
Speaker 1: is the headline on ESPN five big Damian Lillard trades.
Speaker 1: We want to see the Portland Trailblazers pursue. They want
Speaker 1: Dame gone. It's in their soul. They need it. It's
Speaker 1: what they need because the NBA, from a business perspective,
Speaker 1: is more fun when hometown hero, small market stars ask
Speaker 1: their way out, force their way to a huge market
Speaker 1: with a super team so that we can for the
Speaker 1: rest of their career shit on them for being disloyal.
Speaker 1: Damian Lillard have the same grit as he had in
Speaker 1: Portland now that he's a Los Angeles laker. Oh no, undisputed,
Speaker 1: Like you guys push this, you guys wanted this, He
Speaker 1: didn't even want to leave. You literally created all the environment.
Speaker 1: WOJ went on the records to say, Damian lowerd wants
Speaker 1: to get paid three hundred million until he's fifty years
Speaker 1: old every year so that he could make Damian Little
Speaker 1: look like an asshole, so that whatever GM and that
Speaker 1: oh GMS are reluctant to come to Portland because they
Speaker 1: don't want to pay Damien until he's in a wheelchair.
Speaker 1: And Damien only wants to stay if he's in a
Speaker 1: wheelchair getting paid two hundred and fifty million dollars a year.
Speaker 1: So we gotta get this motherfucker out. This is what
Speaker 1: I see what you're doing. You know, I see it.
Speaker 1: I see it so clearly in my head. So if
Speaker 1: you create, if the barber's gone, the GM's gone, the
Speaker 1: coach is gone, all the fucking players because we're gonna
Speaker 1: trade them. Use off, Nurkic gone. CJ McCollum gone. Don't
Speaker 1: even get me started about the team with CJ McCollum.
Speaker 1: Don't even get me started by the tea that I
Speaker 1: have on that use of Nirkish gone, CJ. McCollum gone,
Speaker 1: Andfredy Simon's gone. Roko who cares about Roko? But still
Speaker 1: he's gone, Like okay, so it's just everyone's gone, is
Speaker 1: dame even at fault if you ask for a trade.
Speaker 1: At that point, the owner is changing ownership. She's gonna
Speaker 1: be gone. He's already dead. Truthfully, he's gone, like he's dead.
Speaker 1: And this sister is now handling the state. She's gonna
Speaker 1: be selling the team. GM's gone. Coach is gone, owner's gone,
Speaker 1: coach is gone, players are gone, Barber's gone. Like the
Speaker 1: only thing really that's left is just the house, you know,
Speaker 1: the house and the city. And I get it, like
Speaker 1: it's more fun when a superstar is on a superstar
Speaker 1: market team, Like when Randy Moss was on the Vikings.
Speaker 1: Everybody's like, get him out of here, like he's so
Speaker 1: much better than this and he is, or like with
Speaker 1: Yannis and the Bucks and everybody's like, God, Yannis, Yannis
Speaker 1: needs to get out of here. Milwaukee's never gonna do
Speaker 1: anything Milwaukee will. I mean, they did do things. They
Speaker 1: did much better than we did. They made put the pieces,
Speaker 1: they bought, They got Jrew Holliday. You know, at least
Speaker 1: they did that. We could have had that. We had
Speaker 1: the first rights to Drew Holiday. The national press just
Speaker 1: calls these teams small market, and they say it with
Speaker 1: just this gross rancor, you know, like they just go
Speaker 1: like he would just be so much better as a Laker,
Speaker 1: he'd be so much better as a Patriot, or he'd
Speaker 1: be so much better as a Yankee, and like fuck
Speaker 1: them as somebody from Portland, Oregon. Fuck those people because
Speaker 1: they don't want us to have nice things. We get
Speaker 1: a nice thing accidentally because we traded Gerald Wallace to
Speaker 1: the Nets and somehow ended up with a sixth pick
Speaker 1: in the draft. Like we never are gonna be good
Speaker 1: enough or bad enough, excuse me, bad enough to get
Speaker 1: the six pick in the draft. Somehow we luck into
Speaker 1: Damian Lillard from Weber State and he's a superstar and
Speaker 1: we got him. You know what, Fuck you guys, Fuck
Speaker 1: you Sacramento that you took Thomas Robinson, Fuck you guys
Speaker 1: that you passed over Dame. We got him and he's
Speaker 1: okay staying with our gross team. He's fine with it,
Speaker 1: So it'sop pushing him out the door, you know, and
Speaker 1: Joe Cronin is our only chance of keeping Dame happy.
Speaker 1: In my opinion, Joe Cronin will keep him happy. Joe
Speaker 1: Cronin has been there since Damian Lillard was drafted. I
Speaker 1: think some semblance of consistency is important for Dame since
Speaker 1: everything around him is burning down to the ground into ashes,
Speaker 1: and you've got snakes in the grass trying to push
Speaker 1: him out, snakes in the grass trying to sully his reputation.
Speaker 1: And I don't think Tayshaun Prince or Sharif abdul Raheem
Speaker 1: or whoever the fuck they're circling the wagons around trying
Speaker 1: to hire, is going to give Dame what he wants.
Speaker 1: Because if Dame has to start over in Portland, isn't
Speaker 1: it the same as starting over in another city? Like
Speaker 1: if everything changes in Portland, at least it's still the
Speaker 1: same fan base that supported him from day one. And loyalty, loyalty,
Speaker 1: loyalty is more important than anything else. And at least
Speaker 1: he knows where he's going, at least he knows how
Speaker 1: to get Steph Curry. We finally can say it comfortably,
Speaker 1: We finally can say it with no clap back, he
Speaker 1: is the best three point shooter to ever do it.
Speaker 1: We already knew that, but now nobody can say anything
Speaker 1: back to us on Twitter about it because it's just
Speaker 1: the case. It's just the case. We've got three thousand
Speaker 1: threes already, probably gonna have another fifteen hundred to two
Speaker 1: thousand by the end of this whole game. But according
Speaker 1: to Steph, he needed the record in order to say
Speaker 1: it with his chest because you know, Steph is what
Speaker 1: he said. I'm comfortable saying I'm the best shooter in
Speaker 1: NBA history now finally, damn right. The funniest thing to
Speaker 1: me is that they're chasing for the record, uh, is
Speaker 1: that it completely derailed the season, like to a degree,
Speaker 1: Like not in a real way, but in a way
Speaker 1: that for those four games or three games or whatever
Speaker 1: it was. I mean, this team fucking looked terrible slump.
Speaker 1: As soon as Steph said I should have known. Soon
Speaker 1: as Steph said, yeah, I might put sixteen on Portland's head.
Speaker 1: I might break the record sixteen threes and also beat
Speaker 1: Clay's record while I'm at it, you had to know
Speaker 1: that other teams were going to take that. Personally, even
Speaker 1: an under manned Portland Trail Laser team. No CJ, no Dame,
Speaker 1: no Anthony Simons. It's just this here, little rocking out
Speaker 1: with his just literally no one, and they put him
Speaker 1: in prison. They clamped him. They were like, no, we'llf quadruple,
Speaker 1: We'll quinn tupple team you. I don't care who shoots
Speaker 1: the ball, but it's not gonna be you. Like, listen,
Speaker 1: little frail kid, I know you put twenty pounds a months.
Speaker 1: Will you not care? You are way too small? I
Speaker 1: have a Serbian over here. I think he's Serbian?
Speaker 2: Is that right?
Speaker 1: Anyway? We have Yusuf Nurkic here and he is a
Speaker 1: million pounds and seven feet one. You're gonna get body
Speaker 1: checked all night. You're not breaking the record against us,
Speaker 1: And then every other team from then on it is like, yeah,
Speaker 1: you're also not breaking the record against us. It became
Speaker 1: a thing. It became a thing where the entire team,
Speaker 1: the entire Warriors team, was conspiring to get Steph the record,
Speaker 1: where they literally we're just not running any of their offense.
Speaker 1: It looks like the Portland Trailblazers out there. Truthfully, they
Speaker 1: looked sick. They look completely dysfunctional. It was just like,
Speaker 1: give the ball to Staph under every circle, doesn't matter
Speaker 1: if he's double team, triple team. Like if you have
Speaker 1: an open layoff, past the ball to staff, if you
Speaker 1: have a dunk, passed the ball to Staph. That's just
Speaker 1: the entire flow of the offense. Who cares about the
Speaker 1: beautiful game? Who cares about strength and numbers. It's about
Speaker 1: getting Steph the record. It's probably like pregame speech in
Speaker 1: the locker room, like listen, guys, we're six point favorites tonight.
Speaker 1: Don't care about that. What we care about is the
Speaker 1: six threes that Steph needs. We need two in the
Speaker 1: first quarter. We need Steph to shoot thirty threes. I
Speaker 1: don't care if you're open, it goes to Steph. And
Speaker 1: it was gross. Betting on the Warriors was a sweat
Speaker 1: during that time, and I cannot wait to get past
Speaker 1: this because they have looked awful, awful. The Blazers and
Speaker 1: Sixers blit Steph hard to get shots. Even Kerr had
Speaker 1: to come out and was like, hey, I realize saying
Speaker 1: anything about the record and how we were conspiring to
Speaker 1: get Steph the record might not have been a great call.
Speaker 1: Like I may have fucked us up a little bit
Speaker 1: given that, and like Steph even said, maybe, just maybe
Speaker 1: I shouldn't have like telegraphed it so obviously, like I
Speaker 1: was just gonna disrespect Portland or Philly, like Philly said, oh,
Speaker 1: we saw him come into Philadelphia. He was not getting
Speaker 1: the record at our place, like no chance. That is incredible.
Speaker 1: But eventually Steph got it. He only had two to go,
Speaker 1: and you knew he was gonna get two, and the
Speaker 1: best place for him to get it, the best time
Speaker 1: for him to get it. Considering that del Curry spoke
Speaker 1: to Mark Stein about this tremendous side story he told
Speaker 1: the Golden State Warriors, del Curry did as his as
Speaker 1: Steph surrogate, told Golden State, like, listen, you should just
Speaker 1: not even if Steph's there, don't draft him, like we
Speaker 1: already have plans to go to the Knicks at eight,
Speaker 1: Like we've already spoken to the Knicks. We want Steph
Speaker 1: to play in the garden, Like don't even do that,
Speaker 1: Like that's just not a good move for you. And
Speaker 1: Golden State said, respectfully, fuck you. If Steph is there,
Speaker 1: we're taking them and that's where his little ass will go,
Speaker 1: Like that's what will happen? And Minnesota of course bumbled
Speaker 1: the bag like they typically do, taking Ricky Rubio and
Speaker 1: some other scrub uh yep, what's that kid's name again
Speaker 1: from syric doesn't doesn't know, not waiters, doesn't even matter truthfully,
Speaker 1: because this is it's not Steph. Obviously it wasn't Steph,
Speaker 1: not even close to Steph. So yeah, now they end
Speaker 1: up in the in the Warriors. So for that to
Speaker 1: be a full circle knixt moment where Steph breaks the
Speaker 1: record with Ray Allen and attendance with Reggie Miller and
Speaker 1: attendance which they were not in attendance anywhere else. They
Speaker 1: come to the Garden. They know he can get too,
Speaker 1: two threes. Steph can get two threes. That's light work.
Speaker 1: Let's get those two threes immediately too, so that we
Speaker 1: can get about this game, so we can beat the
Speaker 1: Knicks by a million, which was hard for them to do,
Speaker 1: so we can we can get back to our warrior ways,
Speaker 1: like let's do this little uh these like this whole
Speaker 1: coronation thing. You know, Steph's mom was there, steph dad
Speaker 1: was there, Steph's dad. Tremendous look he's got now a
Speaker 1: single Steph dad single dow Oh oh god. He had
Speaker 1: this uh this, you gotta look it up. He had
Speaker 1: this T shirt on with a snake on it. He
Speaker 1: had a snake on it. Black tea, kind of snug
Speaker 1: snug tea, you know, like single, single, fifty something year
Speaker 1: old coming out. Probably lives in Marine Deale right now.
Speaker 1: And because that's where all the like single men go
Speaker 1: the devorce. So they say, got a snake on his chest.
Speaker 1: And then he's got a string bracelet on and he's
Speaker 1: got a new s curl. He's looking good, probably got
Speaker 1: some implants, I think, and sitting nowhere near Sonya, Curry
Speaker 1: got caught on the TV screen checking out a hottie
Speaker 1: to his side. Of course, doing his thing. He's a
Speaker 1: single man, that's what he can do.
Speaker 3: So he was there.
Speaker 1: Sonya was there somewhere close by, probably with Future or
Speaker 1: some rapper or something. She's fucking, so she's probably somewhere.
Speaker 1: I'm surprised he didn't show like some hot ass RnB
Speaker 1: singer with her or something, or some like thug ass
Speaker 1: that's like twenty one savage or something there because it's
Speaker 1: like probably perfect anyway. So they're there in attendance Steph's
Speaker 1: college coaches there in attendances, high school coaches in attendance,
Speaker 1: like everyone got the everyone understood the assignment he did,
Speaker 1: like come out, show out, and like be here for Steph.
Speaker 1: Steph gives the game ball to his dad. They shut
Speaker 1: the game down as soon as he hit that three. Wow.
Speaker 1: Like literally it was like dun no, no, no, it
Speaker 1: was literally like so crazy, I've never seen that before.
Speaker 1: They stopped the game so that Steph can enjoy and
Speaker 1: soak in that and soak soaking that moment, Like I
Speaker 1: don't know if there's been any other record set or
Speaker 1: beat that got that level of fanfare, but that just
Speaker 1: shows you how the NBA loves Steph. Like Steph is
Speaker 1: the golden boy of the NBA. And I think Clay
Speaker 1: probably would give be given that treatment as well, but
Speaker 1: Steph tremendous. And then other funny thing about that moment
Speaker 1: was that you know, Draymond Green is the number one
Speaker 1: player who has assisted to Steph in his career over
Speaker 1: four hundred I think it's four hundred and thirty eight
Speaker 1: at that point, four hundred and thirty eight assists to Steph.
Speaker 1: No other player has come close. And then you have
Speaker 1: so like, obviously the person who's going to assist Steph
Speaker 1: on his record breaking three should be Draymond Like that's
Speaker 1: only right. And you know that clip's gonna be played forever,
Speaker 1: like it's gonna be set in memory and stone and
Speaker 1: just played on a loop. And then you got Andrew Wiggins,
Speaker 1: who does it like Andrew not.
Speaker 2: The only thing.
Speaker 1: Andrew Wiggins loves more than not passing is making the
Speaker 1: moment about him, right, Like Andrew Wiggins cares more, only
Speaker 1: more about putting himself in the spotlight than he does.
Speaker 1: An open layup for Andrew Wiggins, Like, so they pass,
Speaker 1: the ball goes to Andrew right and they're doing this
Speaker 1: normal set. Ball goes down, He's got an open look
Speaker 1: like right at the room, and like a hot potato,
Speaker 1: he immediately cross court above everyone, perfect pass to stuff,
Speaker 1: Like where has that been Andrew Wiggins whole career, like
Speaker 1: just shows you he has no intention, no desire to
Speaker 1: pass at all, but perfect skip passed to staff for
Speaker 1: his record breaking three. And even Andrew Wiggins said, I've
Speaker 1: never passed out of that set one time, Like it's
Speaker 1: the only time in my career I've done that. Even
Speaker 1: Steve Kerrz, like, we've ran that set hundreds of times,
Speaker 1: a very common set. Never happened one time, Like that's
Speaker 1: the first time. Draymond Green salty, He's like, listen, man,
Speaker 1: I was supposed to get that assist. Andrew, speaking of
Speaker 1: not understanding the assignment, you can't get that. You don't
Speaker 1: even assist. Ever, you don't even have ten assists in
Speaker 1: your career, Andrew Wiggins, you can't have the record breaking assists?
Speaker 1: Did we gotta stop that? I said to a friend, like,
Speaker 1: Steph should have missed that three on purpose? Andrew Wiggins,
Speaker 1: you can't give me that. I'm gonna pass that back
Speaker 1: down to you. Fam No, no, apparently, get Steph gifted
Speaker 1: all of his longtime teammates with Rolex's for the record.
Speaker 1: He gave one to Iguitolla and Clay, but obviously not
Speaker 1: to Wiggins. Wiggins was not gonna give one, and and
Speaker 1: so Draymond said, Wiggins never passes out of that play.
Speaker 1: Never never, And so now we're going to see Andrew
Speaker 1: Wiggins on a loop for the rest of history. It's
Speaker 1: just gonna be who is that guy? I don't know,
Speaker 1: who's that passing to Steph? Oh? Yeah, you remember that
Speaker 1: Canadian that was like a big deal. He played for
Speaker 1: the Timberwolves.
Speaker 2: What was his name?
Speaker 1: That's that's where we're gonna be with Wiggins. And so
Speaker 1: at this point, I think, what, Steph's gonna have another
Speaker 1: four hundred and threes this year. If he plays another
Speaker 1: five years, he could have fifteen hundred threes on top
Speaker 1: of the current record, which seems kind of impossible to break.
Speaker 1: Another thing that's sort of amazing about this is that
Speaker 1: Steph with Reggie Miller kind of get a little bit
Speaker 1: wispy about this. With Reggie Miller basically foreshadowed this was
Speaker 1: going to happen in twenty fourteen. Let's go to that.
Speaker 3: Can you catch Ray Allen? I hope? So, I mean, that's.
Speaker 4: A test of longevity, consistency. I have a new found
Speaker 4: appreciation for exactly what it takes to get to that level.
Speaker 3: You know, health.
Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, you gotta be healthy. You gotta have
Speaker 4: some great screens to ovis. You gotta have, you know,
Speaker 4: guys that look for you, and you gotta be able
Speaker 4: to make shots and all sorts of moments and all
Speaker 4: sorts of ways.
Speaker 3: So I hope too.
Speaker 4: That's where I work every day to continue to you know,
Speaker 4: hone in on my skill three mitter on thousand and
Speaker 4: made pause.
Speaker 1: Reggie Miller at this point does not believe he's going
Speaker 1: to break the record whatsoever. He said, Hey, that's three
Speaker 1: thousand threes, my g and Steph's like, you know, I know,
Speaker 1: I know the number of three.
Speaker 3: Hopefully I'm playing long enough to get it done. Three
Speaker 3: thousand is the benchmark stuff. That's what that's I got
Speaker 3: my eyes on it.
Speaker 4: And obviously hopefully some some championships come along the way.
Speaker 4: But that's that's uh, that's the goal.
Speaker 1: Woo two thousand and fourteen, five years in a Steph's career,
Speaker 1: zero championships. At that point, he had only had nine
Speaker 1: hundred mad threes and five years, so he was only
Speaker 1: thirty percent of the way there. So at that rate,
Speaker 1: he would have had to play fifteen fifteen plus fifteen
Speaker 1: sixteen years in the league and then he started on
Speaker 1: a heater like four hundred threes a year, And you know,
Speaker 1: that's the story. That's history, and to me, it's it
Speaker 1: just shows you how incredible Steph's journey has been. For
Speaker 1: him to go from the kid that everyone slandered out
Speaker 1: of Davidson where on Twitter They're saying, is he even
Speaker 1: good enough to be does he even have the ball
Speaker 1: handling to be a point guard in the NBA? Like
Speaker 1: is he big enough? Like can he get his own shot?
Speaker 1: People were saying, can Steph get his own shot in
Speaker 1: the NBA? Like people like Doug Gottlieb. The joke that
Speaker 1: is Doug Gottlieb was like, I think Ricky Rubio and
Speaker 1: Johnny Flynn, that's what it was. And Johnny Flynn is
Speaker 1: a better player than Steph Curry. I think that's that's
Speaker 1: where we're at now. To me, that's what made it
Speaker 1: so special. He hit the game, the game pause for
Speaker 1: him to slow down and savor the man that is
Speaker 1: Steph Curry in no better place, no better moment than
Speaker 1: everyone who helped him there along the way for that journey.
Speaker 1: Very very cool. Apparently, also as an aside, Papa del
Speaker 1: Curry apparently shot his shot with some Instagram thought and
Speaker 1: apparently nailed it. He posted he posed with ig thought
Speaker 1: Anna Sharie, the girl that we all saw him macking
Speaker 1: with in the game, and two of her quote unquote friends,
Speaker 1: which are also like probably her cohort assassins to take down.
Speaker 1: Then he went from being a meme to the most
Speaker 1: divorced man in America at the beginning of the game
Speaker 1: to like, literally, now he's getting Dan Bazillier Bizarian memes
Speaker 1: in the span of like two hours, like he's now
Speaker 1: return of the back in like so that just shows you, like,
Speaker 1: shooters never die, like he was a sniper, as a
Speaker 1: hornet sniper, as a divorced fifty something year old, even
Speaker 1: with a snake T shirt. Shooters stay shooting, especially when
Speaker 1: their named Kurry. That's all the time that we have
Speaker 1: for the heat check. Well, be back Friday early, Squirrely morning, folks,
