1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,480 Speaker 1: Welcome to the best of the week for What's Right 2 00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:05,200 Speaker 1: with Nick Right the best takes in moments from this 3 00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:07,320 Speaker 1: week on the show enjoy. 4 00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:11,200 Speaker 2: So. Earlier this week, JJ said, the best thing for 5 00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:14,040 Speaker 2: the team is Lebron being the third highest used player, 6 00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:17,079 Speaker 2: and then he went out scored thirty on thirteen or 7 00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:20,000 Speaker 2: fourteen shooting, and now the Lakers have that tiebreaker with 8 00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:22,320 Speaker 2: the Rockets and alone in the three seeds. 9 00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:27,880 Speaker 1: So so a bunch here one is Lebron went thirteen 10 00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:31,040 Speaker 1: of thirteen. Did you see his one miss ship? 11 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:33,120 Speaker 2: It was it was like a blocker, like an early 12 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:34,199 Speaker 2: steal kind. 13 00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:37,360 Speaker 1: Of well, I mean he jumped, got hit by three guys, 14 00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:40,440 Speaker 1: lost the ball out of bounds. I thought he got fouled. 15 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,680 Speaker 1: If it wasn't a foul, it was a turnover. Instead 16 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 1: they called it a mishot. But it was also the 17 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:52,360 Speaker 1: second straight game against the Rockets when Lebron is dunking 18 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 1: like it's yeah twenty ten. I mean one of these 19 00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:00,920 Speaker 1: alley oops that he caught three feet behind his head 20 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 1: just bananas as far. I mean, he's the oldest player 21 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:14,560 Speaker 1: in the his next game, Demonse, he ties Robert Parrish 22 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:19,320 Speaker 1: for the most games regular season games in NFL, in NFL, 23 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:21,039 Speaker 1: in NBA history. 24 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,759 Speaker 2: Which is honestly kind of surprising to me that he's 25 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:28,200 Speaker 2: that he doesn't have it already. Yeah, exactly, Well, he 26 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:29,559 Speaker 2: has the. 27 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:33,760 Speaker 1: Most combined regular season and playoff games. He's had that 28 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 1: for a while. He has the most playoff games ever, 29 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,320 Speaker 1: the most combined regular season and playoff games ever. But 30 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:45,320 Speaker 1: Robert Parrish, who was obviously way before your time, Demons, 31 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 1: he played. He played twenty one years and until his 32 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 1: final year, which was ninety seven, when he played forty 33 00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 1: three games. His first twenty years, the fewest games he 34 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 1: played in the season was seventy four. So he went 35 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 1: twenty years of somewhere from seventy four to eighty two games, 36 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 1: and then his final year he played forty three. I mean, 37 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 1: he he played, and he's one of the only guys 38 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 1: in league history to play older than Lebron. He played 39 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:30,359 Speaker 1: until he was forty three years old, which is just unbelieva. 40 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 2: Seems like, yeah, r Lebron. 41 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, and he should he said he would go to 42 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 1: the game. And so I have a bunch to say 43 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 1: here and we'll get to the Lakers piece of it. 44 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:42,240 Speaker 1: In the segonment, I want to talk about Lebron for 45 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 1: a second. And the biggest story with the Lakers is 46 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: actually not Lebron, it's Luca. But I was out of town. 47 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 1: When Lebron passed Kareem for most baskets in NBA history. 48 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 1: They didn't even stop the game for a second, Like 49 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 1: they didn't even acknowledge it. You're laughing at me. 50 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 2: But like. 51 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 1: It's the most basket's themes kind of like might be like, okay, 52 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 1: just for a second here, let's just stop, give him 53 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 1: the basket. He doesn't have to do a whole ceremony. 54 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 1: But as I remind folks, we had I don't even remember. 55 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 1: I don't know, I just know what happened, but we 56 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 1: had a nationwide countdown ticker when Steph Curry was about 57 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 1: to get the most three point baskets. Lebron breaks the 58 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: record for just baskets, and they're just like all right, balling, 59 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 1: and he is about to break the record for most games. 60 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 1: And I don't know if even anybody, I think the 61 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 1: audience knows. 62 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 2: That that he If Robert Parrish pulls up to the game, 63 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 2: then they probably, I mean, I imagine they'd stop. 64 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 1: It that Well, that is a weird one. When do 65 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,039 Speaker 1: you stop. It does this suse the balls tip stop 66 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 1: like that's what it sets the record, Like that's a 67 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 1: that is a weird one. Maybe you do something pre 68 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 1: game in the ceremony. Yeah, but Lebron, we are numb 69 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 1: to things. Like we saw last night. The this was 70 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 1: the last night was the hold on when the Lebron 71 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 1: dunk on Jason Terry hold on was either thirteen years 72 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:54,160 Speaker 1: ago or fifteen years ago. I just gotta sorry, Uh okay, thirteen. 73 00:04:55,880 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 1: So the Lebron famous Jason Terry dunk was the reason 74 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 1: I bring that up. That was thirteen years ago, yesterday 75 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:15,840 Speaker 1: to the day. So at that moment, Lebron was in 76 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 1: year eleven, he was in or year ten, pardon me, 77 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 1: he was ten years into his career and has that historic, 78 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 1: not historic, but memorable dunk on Jason Terry. Thirteen years later, 79 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 1: he is putting on a dunk show in a critical 80 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 1: game late in the season against Kevin Duranton the Rockets, 81 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 1: who they just beat on the road, and we're like, okay, yeah, 82 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:54,840 Speaker 1: I mean it was a really good Lebron game. But 83 00:05:54,880 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 1: about sounds right. It's just and he is, you know, 84 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:06,720 Speaker 1: he leads the NBA in fast break points he is 85 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 1: still he's simultaneously the oldest player in the league, days 86 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 1: from becoming take. 87 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 2: A little bit when you get older. 88 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 1: Well, sure, but it's not. It's not a ton of 89 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,360 Speaker 1: cherry picking. It's a lot of full steam ahead. He's 90 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:28,479 Speaker 1: simultaneously the oldest player in the league and still the 91 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 1: biggest open court threatened basketball since Giannis is having a 92 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:38,799 Speaker 1: tough season, it's just it's impossible to put into words. 93 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,479 Speaker 1: And this is what I was saying the other day 94 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 1: to get to your point about about him being the 95 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 1: third option, big scoring nights from Lebron being a bonus 96 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 1: instead of a prerequisite for the Lakers winning makes them 97 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 1: really scary. 98 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, is it? It's like if they win the finals 99 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 2: this year, is it still like Cyonara Lebron to Cleveland, 100 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 2: like at the end of the year, like, oh if 101 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 2: they win the title. Oh if they won the title. No, 102 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 2: I think that change Well, I don't know. 103 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 1: I think that probably changes things, but maybe not. Maybe 104 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 1: it would just be like it's perfect. 105 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 2: Considering like, yeah, the time of his career, like if 106 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 2: you are going to go back to Cleveland. 107 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 1: But the so there is right, the Lakers have and 108 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 1: we're going to I'm gonna disregard the rundown a bit. 109 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: I apologize, We're gonna stay. We'll stay here and then 110 00:07:54,800 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 1: we'll probably do some Luca m VP stuff. But the 111 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 1: the Lakers right now are in a real groove that 112 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 1: is sustainable. Now, does it mean they're guaranteed to even 113 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 1: make it out of round one? Not guaranteed. West is hard. 114 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 1: Does it mean they'll be favored in round two? No, 115 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 1: they're not favored. They're not. They're gonna be significant underdogs 116 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 1: in round two. But it does mean that it's no 117 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 1: longer farcical to discuss them as a conference finals team. 118 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:44,320 Speaker 1: And the if the five man group of well, really 119 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 1: the four man group of Luca, Austin Brown and Marcus 120 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:59,560 Speaker 1: Smart plus either Ruie or Ayton, those those two lineups 121 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:05,679 Speaker 1: legitimately work. And did you see DeAndre Aiden's quote the. 122 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,720 Speaker 2: Other day yesterday an epiphany? 123 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, where he's like, I've got to lock in. I 124 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:13,959 Speaker 1: was the guy who wasn't locked in, and now I'm 125 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,840 Speaker 1: locked in. Good for him, and hopefully you can stay 126 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:21,839 Speaker 1: that way. And so again people are gonna roll their 127 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,679 Speaker 1: eyes and get annoyed with me. I don't care. I 128 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 1: believe it and I know I'm right. This is where 129 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 1: the things like people talk about justifiably the tax of 130 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 1: having the greatest player of all time when he's no 131 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,959 Speaker 1: longer even the best player on his own team, how 132 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 1: it can screwce with certain parts of the team, Luca 133 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 1: deferring to him late, like what you know, who has 134 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 1: what role? Those things? And that is a real thing. Okay, 135 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 1: that is a real tax of having the goat in 136 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:07,320 Speaker 1: your twenty three on your team. The flip side of 137 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 1: that tax is when you have the goat in your 138 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 1: twenty three on your team and he is going all out, 139 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:25,080 Speaker 1: full horizontal Dennis Rodman die for a loose ball. I 140 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 1: think it resonates with DeAndre Ayton, like shit man, Bron's 141 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,440 Speaker 1: not playing in the exact role he wants to play. 142 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,839 Speaker 1: He doesn't want to be standing in the corner not 143 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, watching Luke and Austin Cook 144 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 1: and he's and Lebron James is doing that. I can 145 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,440 Speaker 1: I can try to thrive in my role. I really 146 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 1: believe that. 147 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,839 Speaker 2: They also started Capella like a few days ago when 148 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 2: they when they played the Rockets. I don't think they 149 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 2: usually start him who the the Rockets. The Lakers played 150 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 2: the rocket and they started. 151 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:08,080 Speaker 1: Oh, I didn't even notice that. Well, that's the I 152 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,440 Speaker 1: was watching at the beginning of that game. I'm still watching. 153 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:14,440 Speaker 2: The World Baseball Classic was also hurt, which played into 154 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 2: the yeah but. 155 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 1: The no and this is the I. 156 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 2: It's been like the one thing they're missing. It's like 157 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 2: a solid and I have to listen. 158 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 1: I also, I've got to give JJ Reddick credit too, 159 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 1: Like the team is locked in more on defense, and 160 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 1: it took someone with a relationship with Lebron that JJ has. 161 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 1: I think for Lebron to be cool with this third 162 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 1: option Swiss army knife role, and it makes them a 163 00:11:55,720 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 1: scary team. Man. Now, the real reason they're scary right now, 164 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 1: or the reason they're scariest, is Luca And so we 165 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 1: will get to that in just a second. But first, 166 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,720 Speaker 1: today's show is brought to you by our presenting sponsor, 167 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 1: hard Rock Bet, Florida Sportsbook.

How does your top five look? 207 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 1: Now? Well, and I did this before the Caide news, 208 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 1: So as of this moment, here's what it would be. 209 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 1: But it looks like CAID unfortunately, is going to fall 210 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:46,200 Speaker 1: out of eligibility. Right now, the MVP of the league 211 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 1: is Shay, and it would if Shay hits the sixty 212 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 1: five game mark, which I think he's seven games away from, 213 00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 1: he's gonna be league MVP. And I want to be clear, 214 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:02,840 Speaker 1: I'm totally fine with that. What are you laughing about? 215 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 2: Tell me no, no, no, never. I I don't really like 216 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 2: the guy, like, I don't like dislike him personally, but 217 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:11,200 Speaker 2: his basket Like, I'm cool off of that. 218 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 1: You're not a you're not a fan of his style. 219 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 1: I want to let you know. I the I haven't 220 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,160 Speaker 1: checked in on you on this in a while. Are 221 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 1: you Are you bothered by mean comments on the internet? 222 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 2: Am I bothered by them? Oh? 223 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,640 Speaker 1: No, Like if you get flooded with mentions like will 224 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 1: it mess with you up your day? 225 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:38,040 Speaker 2: Oh no, no, no no. I've seen like people have come 226 00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 2: to me a couple of times. I've seen it. 227 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 1: Okay, Well, you say that you have underestimated the venom 228 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 1: and the vitriol of Oka se basketball fans. I think 229 00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 1: it's because it's the only pro sports team there and 230 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 1: they're very, very protective. So I just want everybody to 231 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 1: know act Demontse bird with a Y and so uh listen, Shay, 232 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:15,360 Speaker 1: I they have the best record in basketball. He scores 233 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 1: twenty literally every night, but average is thirty. And I 234 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 1: don't think anyone else on his team this year, any 235 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 1: other individual guy has been exception. Yeah, Jadubb has been 236 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 1: injured a bunch. Chet is great defensively, but his you know, 237 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 1: and his very Chet's a very good player, but hasn't 238 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 1: like ascended the way people maybe thought he would. Now, 239 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 1: let me make it clearer, they have an unbelievable roster. 240 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 1: They have the best even in basketball. Shit, they held 241 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 1: the Nets to twenty four points in the first half yesterday, 242 00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 1: twenty four in the half it was sixty to twenty 243 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 1: four and a half. So I'm not acting like he 244 00:16:56,520 --> 00:17:00,480 Speaker 1: doesn't have an awesome team, but best record the league, 245 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 1: thirty plus points efficient, good defensively, that's a deserving back 246 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:15,240 Speaker 1: to back MVP. Okay, after Shay, it's either at this point, 247 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 1: if we are being fair, it is either Luca or Wimby. 248 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:24,560 Speaker 1: Joker has fallen. Joker is four and I would have 249 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:28,600 Speaker 1: Cade five, but again Cade's probably not going to be eligible, 250 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:34,800 Speaker 1: and the Luca everyone knows. The Wimby MVP case and 251 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 1: it's a great case. He's the best defensive player in 252 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:41,600 Speaker 1: the league. He's a very good offensive player. They have 253 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:45,720 Speaker 1: the second best record in the West and the second 254 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,919 Speaker 1: best record in all of basketball. It's a great case. 255 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 1: And if you want to say Wimby is two, so 256 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:57,919 Speaker 1: be it. The case for Luca, though, has been understated 257 00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:04,480 Speaker 1: all year. Luca is averaging one of the ten most 258 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:13,080 Speaker 1: points per game this season of anyone this century post Jordan. 259 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 1: This is a top ten scoring season. Kobe had a 260 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 1: season where he scored more, Harden had a season or 261 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:26,520 Speaker 1: two where he scored more, and shit, that might be 262 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 1: the list. Like hold on, I'm gonna and Luke obviously 263 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 1: does more than just score. But I'm going to you 264 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:37,919 Speaker 1: know what, I'm gonna check this real quick. I should 265 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:42,720 Speaker 1: have done this before, but thirty three points per game 266 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:51,639 Speaker 1: are Here is the full list of seasons this century, 267 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:56,639 Speaker 1: or I'll just do post Jordan where someone scored more 268 00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 1: than Luca this year, Embid by a tenth of a 269 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 1: point three years ago, and then oh Luca himself two 270 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:22,360 Speaker 1: years ago, Harden, as I mentioned, six years ago, Kobe 271 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 1: and O six, Harden in nineteen and that's your list. 272 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:34,680 Speaker 1: So this post Jordan. The only people to average more 273 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,240 Speaker 1: points per game in a season than Luca is averaging 274 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 1: right now is Embid Hardened twice and Kobe one time. 275 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:49,120 Speaker 1: When you add to that that he's given you eight rebounds, 276 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 1: eight and a half assists. The Lakers are the three seed. 277 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 1: He's shooting forty eight from the floor in thirty seven 278 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:03,120 Speaker 1: from three. They're gonna win fifty games. And he has 279 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:08,199 Speaker 1: these moments, these games like last night where he just 280 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:14,679 Speaker 1: rips people's throats ountd like the the behind his back 281 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:21,800 Speaker 1: through traffic lobb to eight, followed by splitting another double 282 00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 1: team lob debron, followed by the reverse pivot step back 283 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:36,120 Speaker 1: three followed by the absolute dagger double step back three 284 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 1: to end the game. He's just unbelievable. And all year 285 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:45,040 Speaker 1: that most of the conversation was about what's wrong with him, 286 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,560 Speaker 1: about why he might not win a title ever, not 287 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:54,280 Speaker 1: for it this year ever, And he is just a 288 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:59,479 Speaker 1: legendary offensive player who has a play, has cleaned up 289 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:05,320 Speaker 1: the defense. It's a bit and I mean on this 290 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 1: winning streak, demonse, let me go to it. So they've 291 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:15,960 Speaker 1: won seven in a row, including games against really good teams, 292 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:21,600 Speaker 1: and here is Lucas statlines on the winning streak forty four, 293 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 1: nine and five, thirty five, eight and four, thirty one, 294 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:35,640 Speaker 1: eleven and eleven, fifty one, ten and nine, thirty eleven 295 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:41,480 Speaker 1: and thirteen, thirty six, six and four, and then last 296 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:47,199 Speaker 1: night forty nine and ten. They have beaten on this 297 00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:51,560 Speaker 1: winning streak the Knicks, the Wolves, the Nuggets, the Rockets, 298 00:21:51,720 --> 00:22:00,199 Speaker 1: the Rockets plus Pacers, Bulls. Yeah, he has a legitimate it. 299 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:06,919 Speaker 1: And again, two weeks ago, I think people thought he 300 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:11,960 Speaker 1: wasn't even first team All NBA. And here is what 301 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:17,639 Speaker 1: I will say about Luca's attitude, because last night he 302 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:25,119 Speaker 1: was mother fing the fans. Yeah it, Luca is at 303 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:33,159 Speaker 1: his greatest when he is turning the vitriol and I 304 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 1: think deep personal and intense hatred he has for the officials, 305 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:46,160 Speaker 1: to the fans and other players. Yeah, when he pivots 306 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 1: it from I'm being persecuted to I'm gonna make you 307 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:57,879 Speaker 1: cry and just does like what he did to Devin 308 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,640 Speaker 1: Booker in that series against the Suns. 309 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,120 Speaker 2: No, because when he's in a bad headspace, when he's 310 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 2: arguing with the refs, it's like, I don't he some players, 311 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:09,200 Speaker 2: you know, it's cool when they're angry, but I don't 312 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:10,879 Speaker 2: think it works for him When he's into it with 313 00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:12,440 Speaker 2: the refs, he's not having a good game. 314 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,639 Speaker 1: I agree with you, and I'll say something else that 315 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:21,879 Speaker 1: I really think has helped him. Being one tech away 316 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 1: from a suspension. 317 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:26,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, real, that'll probably do it. 318 00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 1: He knows he doesn't like he's at fifteen. 319 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:32,400 Speaker 2: Now. 320 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 1: I honestly think just so it kind of reset the 321 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,920 Speaker 1: clock a bit. It would have been kind of smart 322 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:43,760 Speaker 1: if with like thirty seconds left last night, he would 323 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 1: have walked up to a ref and just been like 324 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:49,080 Speaker 1: f U U F and f to get because he's 325 00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:52,480 Speaker 1: gonna sit tonight no matter what. I think. He's gonna 326 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:55,360 Speaker 1: sit either on a back to back in Miami. They 327 00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:57,960 Speaker 1: got there at five in the morning just to be like, 328 00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:01,200 Speaker 1: you know what, I'm not gonna play, So just I'll 329 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:05,720 Speaker 1: just take my suspension here. But that's you know, five 330 00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:06,359 Speaker 1: D chests. 331 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:08,159 Speaker 2: I'm wanting him to Playbody was. 332 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:15,119 Speaker 1: Screaming at the fans, you know, I think I feel 333 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:19,240 Speaker 1: like that happened recently and somebody talked about it. Hold 334 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:27,439 Speaker 1: on technical for screaming at fans. NBA. Still it was 335 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:33,760 Speaker 1: remember hold On Remember last year against O k C 336 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:36,439 Speaker 1: at the very end of the regular season. In the 337 00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:44,160 Speaker 1: fourth quarter, Luca screamed at a fan and the ref 338 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,200 Speaker 1: thought he was screaming at him and threw him out. 339 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 1: They ejected him like that was the. 340 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:53,400 Speaker 2: No. 341 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just stayed ejected and it was like a 342 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 1: tie game with six minutes left. I feel like that 343 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,479 Speaker 1: i'd have been Easter Sunday for some reason. 344 00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:03,720 Speaker 2: I was. 345 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:06,040 Speaker 1: I feel like I was at Let me see if 346 00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:08,159 Speaker 1: that was Easter Sunday, because I feel like I was 347 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:10,120 Speaker 1: at my mom's house when this happened. 348 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:13,359 Speaker 2: Easter Sunday last year. 349 00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:18,080 Speaker 1: When was Easter Sunday? Easter Sunday last year? No way 350 00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 1: to tell April twentieth. This looks like it happened April eighth, 351 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:31,960 Speaker 1: So I'm not even close to right. He's well, listen, 352 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,080 Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna win MVP, and I'm being 353 00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:38,000 Speaker 1: fair right now. I wouldn't vote for him for MVP, 354 00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:41,040 Speaker 1: but he's got to be first team All NBA. He's 355 00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 1: got to be top three on your ballot and Lakers 356 00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:51,400 Speaker 1: Spurs round two. Here's the awesome thing about a potential 357 00:25:51,480 --> 00:26:00,120 Speaker 1: Lakers Spurs Round two series from Wimby's perspective. Either way, 358 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:10,919 Speaker 1: it's an amazing opening ish chapter in the story of 359 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:16,800 Speaker 1: Victor winbin Yama's playoff career. Either and this is more 360 00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:20,719 Speaker 1: about the Lebron piece than the Luca piece. But either 361 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 1: in his first ever playoff run, he runs into forty 362 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:32,399 Speaker 1: plus year old goat and beats him and it's a 363 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:40,080 Speaker 1: passing of the torch or the first guy ever to 364 00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:45,960 Speaker 1: beat him in a playoff series is maybe, like there 365 00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 1: is there's a non zero chance that Wimby's first ever 366 00:26:52,200 --> 00:27:01,040 Speaker 1: series defeat and Lebron's final series win are the same moment. Yeah, 367 00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:05,720 Speaker 1: like that, and there's a non zero chance that, right 368 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:11,439 Speaker 1: that Lebron's finals playoff series defeat comes at the hands 369 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:14,960 Speaker 1: of Wimby. Either way, it's awesome. Like either way, it's 370 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:22,440 Speaker 1: a really cool potential moment, and it looks like that's 371 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:24,480 Speaker 1: the round two we're gonna get because and this is 372 00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:26,480 Speaker 1: the point I was trying to make on Twitter, but 373 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 1: I'll just make again here quickly. It now would be 374 00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:35,879 Speaker 1: stunning demons if the Lakers don't get the three seed, 375 00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:44,639 Speaker 1: So they now have the tiebreaker with Minnesota, Houston, and Denver. 376 00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:49,760 Speaker 1: They also are at twenty five losses, while Minnesota and 377 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:53,000 Speaker 1: Houston are at twenty seven, Denver is at twenty eight. 378 00:27:54,000 --> 00:28:05,960 Speaker 1: They also have five games remaining against tankers in Brooklyn, Utah, Indiana, Dallas, 379 00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:14,480 Speaker 1: and what's the one other team I'm forgetting Washington, Washington. 380 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:20,560 Speaker 1: So if they win those five games against tankers, that 381 00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:24,400 Speaker 1: puts them at forty nine wins. They then in their 382 00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:28,760 Speaker 1: remaining eight games, which is Miami tonight, they're gonna lose 383 00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:38,920 Speaker 1: Orlando Detroit with NOKAID, Cleveland OKC, OKAC again, Golden State Phoenix. 384 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,440 Speaker 1: In those eight games, Demansea if they just go two 385 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:49,160 Speaker 1: and six, they're at fifty one wins. Again two and six, 386 00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:50,880 Speaker 1: which they should be able to do better. But say 387 00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:53,760 Speaker 1: they just go two and six, they're at fifty one wins, 388 00:28:54,200 --> 00:29:01,280 Speaker 1: which would mean Minnesota has to go nine and what 389 00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:04,320 Speaker 1: would that be? Nine and three the rest of the way, 390 00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,800 Speaker 1: and Anthony Edwards is out a couple weeks. Houston would 391 00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,480 Speaker 1: have to go eleven and three the rest of the way, 392 00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 1: and Denver would have to go ten and two the 393 00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:20,560 Speaker 1: rest of the way. They's just not happy, and so yeah, 394 00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:23,920 Speaker 1: I mean you have to like their position in that regardless. 395 00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:27,520 Speaker 1: Boost Mobile proving you don't have to overpay for great wireless. 396 00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:31,200 Speaker 1: Unlock the savings with twenty five dollars a month Forever 397 00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:35,400 Speaker 1: Unlimited Plan.

First, we've got Houston. 410 00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:18,239 Speaker 1: No, I got it all. You're fine. I was just 411 00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:24,680 Speaker 1: it was dramatic pause because I went down this road 412 00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:31,760 Speaker 1: last year and they lost. I picked Houston to get 413 00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:33,640 Speaker 1: to the final four. I don't believe I picked him 414 00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:39,800 Speaker 1: to win the championship. But Houston with Calvin Sampson got 415 00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:44,160 Speaker 1: all the way to the final against Florida, had the 416 00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:48,040 Speaker 1: ball chance to win. It didn't get a shot up 417 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:53,600 Speaker 1: kind of tragic loss. It's a different type of gut punch, 418 00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:57,200 Speaker 1: but it reminded me of Virginia when, as a one seed, 419 00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:00,080 Speaker 1: one of the favorites to win the tournament became the 420 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:03,360 Speaker 1: first one he'd ever lose to was sixteen, and in 421 00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:07,200 Speaker 1: the very next year they responded to that stomach punch 422 00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:12,040 Speaker 1: by winning the championship. I think Houston and Kelvin Samson 423 00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:18,240 Speaker 1: finally breakthrough. They're nine to one to win it all. 424 00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:24,360 Speaker 1: They have the huge bonus of first of all, they 425 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:31,760 Speaker 1: in my opinion, pretty clearly have the easiest one seed 426 00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:34,320 Speaker 1: to deal within their region. It would be Florida. It'd 427 00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:39,560 Speaker 1: be a rematch in the title game, and they'll make 428 00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:44,360 Speaker 1: the Sweet sixteen. Their Sweet sixteen and Elite eight games 429 00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:48,760 Speaker 1: are in Houston, so they would have home games to 430 00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:52,560 Speaker 1: make the Final four. Houston at nine to one to 431 00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:55,320 Speaker 1: win it all. And the other pick that I'm gonna 432 00:31:55,320 --> 00:32:00,200 Speaker 1: give out is I think the best all around own 433 00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:04,280 Speaker 1: team in the country and certainly the healthiest of the 434 00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:09,200 Speaker 1: there's three big favorites. Arizona Duke in Michigan. Arizona's the healthiest. 435 00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:13,360 Speaker 1: Arizona to win its region to make the Final four 436 00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:17,240 Speaker 1: at minus one fifty five. So those two knicks picks 437 00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,880 Speaker 1: brought to you our friends at hard Rock Bet. Houston 438 00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:22,640 Speaker 1: to win the whole thing at nine to one, Arizona 439 00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:26,560 Speaker 1: to win the West at minus one fifty five. Those 440 00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:30,080 Speaker 1: two picks brought to you by hard Rock Bet. And 441 00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:35,200 Speaker 1: by the way, speaking of the tournament, so I've I've 442 00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:38,640 Speaker 1: now got to hold on. I've got to check the 443 00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,240 Speaker 1: latest gosh turn it. I've got to check the latest 444 00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:47,000 Speaker 1: details on this. And so I've talked to you guys 445 00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:48,320 Speaker 1: about this contest before. 446 00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:51,480 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, my pals three million. 447 00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:59,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, my pals at Splash Sports the college basketball Tournament 448 00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:05,720 Speaker 1: Survivor contest. It's three million guaranteed and it's one hundred 449 00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:08,240 Speaker 1: and fifty bucks to enter. Now, contrary to what my 450 00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:12,239 Speaker 1: friend Brent Hanks at poker Go would tell you, I 451 00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:16,080 Speaker 1: am not on the hook for the guarantee Splash Sports is. 452 00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:20,080 Speaker 1: But still the math on that is pretty simple to Monday. 453 00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:23,120 Speaker 1: If it's one hundred and fifty dollars to enter and 454 00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:26,880 Speaker 1: they're guaranteeing three million to the winner, they need twenty 455 00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:33,320 Speaker 1: thousand entries. We are the Tuesday before the tournament, and 456 00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:35,680 Speaker 1: we are That's what I was just checking sitting right 457 00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:39,600 Speaker 1: now at five thousand, two hundred and forty entries. So 458 00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:46,000 Speaker 1: that means right now, this moment, there is a you know, 459 00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:51,800 Speaker 1: call it two point two million dollar overlay there is 460 00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:58,160 Speaker 1: right now there is about seven hundred and eighty thousand 461 00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:01,600 Speaker 1: dollars worth of entries, and there's gonna be three million 462 00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:05,440 Speaker 1: dollar prize. So at this very moment, it's the single 463 00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:08,880 Speaker 1: best value you could ever do in a survivor contest. 464 00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:13,400 Speaker 1: Uh And even by the way, even if there's no overlay, 465 00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:15,520 Speaker 1: it still it's one hundred fifty bucks to use. Somebody's 466 00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:19,359 Speaker 1: gonna win three million, and if there's multiple winners, then 467 00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:21,640 Speaker 1: they just chop it. Like if there's three winners, you know, 468 00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:25,000 Speaker 1: they each get a million bucks whatever it is. But 469 00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:30,640 Speaker 1: it's a three million guarantee. I don't know if we're 470 00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:35,200 Speaker 1: they're gonna hit the guarantee, which is it's weird. It's 471 00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:38,480 Speaker 1: good for the user the if you know, if there's 472 00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:42,600 Speaker 1: an overlay, but it either way. But if it gets 473 00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:46,839 Speaker 1: but three million is just the minimum. So if they 474 00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:49,360 Speaker 1: get more than twenty thousand entries in the price pool 475 00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:53,239 Speaker 1: grows whatever it is, to one hundred and fifty bucks, 476 00:34:53,680 --> 00:35:01,400 Speaker 1: I'm gonna I will sponsor uh, Daniel Paul and your entry. 477 00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:05,279 Speaker 1: So you three all can have an entry, now can 478 00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:10,320 Speaker 1: you not not to share? But like one each one each. 479 00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:13,000 Speaker 1: But it's gonna be a group project, so to speak. 480 00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:16,960 Speaker 1: Everyone's got and all you know, the everybody's got a 481 00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:23,719 Speaker 1: piece of each other's and the you know, yeah, I 482 00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:30,040 Speaker 1: mean the again, I did this survivor last year it 483 00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:32,520 Speaker 1: was a different It was the Helm Youth's one, which 484 00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:38,320 Speaker 1: last last year was five grand. This year is ten grand. Oh, 485 00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:45,640 Speaker 1: we have some breaking news. How about this? No, this 486 00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:53,279 Speaker 1: is real breaking news. The Denver Broncos are trading for 487 00:35:54,920 --> 00:36:03,200 Speaker 1: Jail and Waddle. Wow, Wow, Denver gets by the way, 488 00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:07,759 Speaker 1: shout out to keep to leave. Didn't it keep to leave, 489 00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:10,200 Speaker 1: say a couple of days ago, like Denver was gonna 490 00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:15,120 Speaker 1: sign it get a big receiver. So Denver is getting 491 00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:26,440 Speaker 1: Jaalen Waddle and the Dolphin's fourth round pick four the 492 00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:31,879 Speaker 1: Bronco's first round pick, third and fourth round pick, so 493 00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:35,600 Speaker 1: it's basically they're both they're swapping fourth round picks. So 494 00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:41,280 Speaker 1: the simple version of it is, uh, Miami is trading. 495 00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:46,360 Speaker 1: Miami is getting the thirtieth pick and the a third 496 00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:52,040 Speaker 1: round pick for Jalen Wattle. So Miami's getting a you know, 497 00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:55,680 Speaker 1: a little less for Waddle than the Chiefs got for mcduffy. 498 00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:01,280 Speaker 1: Denver's giving up the thirtieth pick in a third rounder, 499 00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:05,520 Speaker 1: and then they're swapping forces and Denver now has a 500 00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:11,200 Speaker 1: number one receiver and Miami is just ripping it down 501 00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:13,440 Speaker 1: and starting fresh, which is what they're supposed to do. 502 00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:16,360 Speaker 1: I like that for Denver. I like Jalen. 503 00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:17,160 Speaker 2: Yeah. 504 00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:23,200 Speaker 1: Now we've never we've never really seen Waddle as you know, 505 00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:26,920 Speaker 1: and we saw him as a number one early had 506 00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:30,680 Speaker 1: early in his career is I think his first year 507 00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:35,560 Speaker 1: before they got Tyreek and he had one hundred catches 508 00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:38,880 Speaker 1: for one thousand yards. Is really interesting because his rookie 509 00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,280 Speaker 1: year he had a you know, he had a bunch 510 00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:44,120 Speaker 1: of catches but was very low yards per catch. And 511 00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:47,160 Speaker 1: then his second year year with Tyreek, he had thirty 512 00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:50,520 Speaker 1: fewer catches and three hundred and fifty more yards, and 513 00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:52,680 Speaker 1: his yards per catch went from nine point eight to 514 00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:56,759 Speaker 1: eighteen point one. He's a really good player, and he's 515 00:37:56,760 --> 00:38:01,000 Speaker 1: still young. He's twenty seven years old. He's on a 516 00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:05,839 Speaker 1: reasonable contract like that, fair is fair. That's a good 517 00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:10,200 Speaker 1: trade for Denver. I like that, And this is when 518 00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:12,920 Speaker 1: you go for it, right, bon Nicks makes no money, 519 00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:17,000 Speaker 1: You brought back everyone, you hadn't added anyone of note, 520 00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:21,560 Speaker 1: So this is what you do. So listen, Denver trades 521 00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:26,320 Speaker 1: the thirtieth pick of the draft and a third rounder 522 00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:29,439 Speaker 1: for jail and Waddle and they swapped forth. So that's 523 00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:32,400 Speaker 1: the simplest way to look at it. I like that 524 00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:35,640 Speaker 1: for bon Nicks, and I like Miami just being like, 525 00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:37,520 Speaker 1: we're gonna try to go ahead and be the worst 526 00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:40,320 Speaker 1: team in the league this year. You know who doesn't 527 00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:44,160 Speaker 1: like that somewhere? Yeah, But you know what, I just realized, 528 00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:48,120 Speaker 1: who I keep forgetting they signed this guy? You know 529 00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:54,200 Speaker 1: who doesn't like what Miami's doing, Malik Willis. Oh yeah, yeah, 530 00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:59,080 Speaker 1: I keep forgetting that they sign Malik Willis. 531 00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:02,840 Speaker 2: That's awful. I just look, he's just forgetting that. That's crazy. 532 00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:04,080 Speaker 2: Away is number one. 533 00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:08,040 Speaker 1: So they're gonna they're gonna run into next year with 534 00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:12,120 Speaker 1: a wide receiving corps of Jailen Tolbert to two at 535 00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:15,800 Speaker 1: well in Malik Washington. That's not great for Malik Willis, 536 00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:19,000 Speaker 1: but at least he got paid, and you know, you'll 537 00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:23,560 Speaker 1: see and they're starting fresh cleaning up their books, taking 538 00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:26,120 Speaker 1: their cat medicine this year. The cat medicine kind of 539 00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:27,960 Speaker 1: they're gonna be taking it next year as well, if 540 00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:31,560 Speaker 1: we're being totally honest, because to his deal is such 541 00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:39,520 Speaker 1: a disaster. But okay, so the Dolphins Dolphins. Now, so 542 00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:45,600 Speaker 1: who is left on the Dolphins? Like, I'm just got 543 00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:53,359 Speaker 1: a chan and Darren wallachan I No, I don't know. 544 00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:55,200 Speaker 1: I think he I don't think they had to cut him. 545 00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:56,480 Speaker 1: I think he was on a one you know, like 546 00:39:56,520 --> 00:40:00,640 Speaker 1: a one year deal. But eight Bradley, I mean, they've 547 00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:06,440 Speaker 1: got nobody left, man, No, they don't. Bradley signed with 548 00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:11,640 Speaker 1: the Bradley Chubb signed with the Bills. No, I mean 549 00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:20,359 Speaker 1: that's the with respect deserved respect to the New York 550 00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:25,799 Speaker 1: Jets and the Tennessee Titans. That's the worst team in 551 00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:31,400 Speaker 1: football next year. Like, that's that's just gonna be a 552 00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:37,480 Speaker 1: really bad bad team. Who's there? And who they is it? 553 00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:41,359 Speaker 1: Jeff Halfley as their coach? Now, yeah, I mean, good luck, 554 00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:46,560 Speaker 1: Jeff Yikes. A tough spot. Tough spot, and the and 555 00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:50,400 Speaker 1: the and the Broncos go at a real weapon. I 556 00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:52,960 Speaker 1: like that for them. Credit to the Broncos. I like 557 00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:53,520 Speaker 1: that for them,
