0:01:02.040 --> 0:01:07.000
<v Speaker 1>spider Man Brand New Day. Yeah. People are saying Marvel's back, Okay,

0:01:07.560 --> 0:01:09.880
<v Speaker 1>it was entertaining. It was really really good.

0:01:10.280 --> 0:01:12.679
<v Speaker 3>There's a great needle drop in the first five minutes

0:01:12.720 --> 0:01:18.480
<v Speaker 3>that if you were born prior to nineteen ninety, like,

0:01:18.600 --> 0:01:20.520
<v Speaker 3>it's gonna be one of the best moments of any

0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:21.560
<v Speaker 3>movie this summer.

0:01:21.920 --> 0:01:22.240
<v Speaker 1>Come.

0:01:23.360 --> 0:01:26.200
<v Speaker 3>I had some quibbles for sure, like I feel like

0:01:26.280 --> 0:01:29.679
<v Speaker 3>there was some emcy units just shoehorned into this movie.

0:01:29.840 --> 0:01:34.200
<v Speaker 1>But in general, high quality entertainment. Okay, so TK saw it.

0:01:34.280 --> 0:01:37.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm assuming JD that you saw it once or night.

0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:38.480
<v Speaker 4>Okay, I've seen it once.

0:01:38.640 --> 0:01:42.560
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, yeah, I have zero quibbles with it. It was perfect,

0:01:43.160 --> 0:01:45.520
<v Speaker 5>better than the Odyssey. Give it all the oscars?

0:01:45.560 --> 0:01:48.640
<v Speaker 1>Oh wow, wow? Okay, and task did you see this one?

0:01:48.680 --> 0:01:50.360
<v Speaker 6>It seems like you like movies more in the off

0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:51.360
<v Speaker 6>season or is that just.

0:01:51.360 --> 0:01:51.680
<v Speaker 3>Me J.

0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:55.480
<v Speaker 4>Well, we'll see when we start Pirates.

0:01:55.520 --> 0:02:00.400
<v Speaker 1>But oh yes, yes, our Pirates of the Caribbeans series

0:02:00.440 --> 0:02:04.680
<v Speaker 1>coming soon. Some of us have started watching them because

0:02:04.680 --> 0:02:06.560
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna start recording those and start dropping them a

0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:09.480
<v Speaker 1>little bit later this month. Have you started the Pirates series?

0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:12.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yes, yes, oh yeah, I've had one pirate show

0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:15.320
<v Speaker 2>up at my door. Yeah. I don't know why I

0:02:15.320 --> 0:02:17.960
<v Speaker 2>would say you show up, but yeah, I've watched the

0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:20.200
<v Speaker 2>first Okay, it's gonna be fun.

0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:27.560
<v Speaker 3>Okay, the first one. The first one is awesome. They

0:02:27.560 --> 0:02:30.120
<v Speaker 3>don't they literally don't make blockbusters like this anymore.

0:02:30.320 --> 0:02:33.120
<v Speaker 1>Okay, we're talking about it all. They can't literally to

0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:38.240
<v Speaker 1>unpack it. But let's get into some minor NBA news here.

0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:40.760
<v Speaker 1>It is pretty minor, but I guess the biggest news

0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:43.880
<v Speaker 1>from the last couple of days. Nausei Marshall signed a

0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:47.720
<v Speaker 1>three year, fifty two point two million dollar contract extension

0:02:47.800 --> 0:02:50.280
<v Speaker 1>with the Dallas Mavericks, so he's staying there for now.

0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:54.320
<v Speaker 1>I think it is a declining contract structure that's from Stein,

0:02:54.440 --> 0:02:56.079
<v Speaker 1>you know, starts off a little higher and then sort

0:02:56.080 --> 0:02:59.720
<v Speaker 1>of decreases. Some people were a little shocked by the number,

0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:02.480
<v Speaker 1>But do you think about Naji Marshall here three years,

0:03:02.480 --> 0:03:03.440
<v Speaker 1>fifty two point two mil.

0:03:03.680 --> 0:03:06.760
<v Speaker 6>I think the Knife is worth every dollar. Listen.

0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:09.160
<v Speaker 2>I love that nickname, and we just did a basketball

0:03:09.160 --> 0:03:13.120
<v Speaker 2>reference the Nickname Show where we talked about terrible nicknames.

0:03:13.160 --> 0:03:15.200
<v Speaker 2>I think the Knife is a great nickname for him

0:03:15.280 --> 0:03:17.080
<v Speaker 2>and the way he plays and how he's gotten better

0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:20.240
<v Speaker 2>over the last two years doing that, just cutting and

0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:23.440
<v Speaker 2>finishing at the basket. He wasn't good for a long time,

0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:26.080
<v Speaker 2>but now entering his prime is perfect. He was seventy

0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:28.680
<v Speaker 2>seven percent at the rim this past season. It's a

0:03:28.760 --> 0:03:31.560
<v Speaker 2>damn good percentage. And then fifty five percent in that

0:03:31.639 --> 0:03:34.640
<v Speaker 2>three to ten feet range hitting floaters and.

0:03:34.560 --> 0:03:35.200
<v Speaker 6>That kind of thing.

0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:37.440
<v Speaker 2>Doesn't matter that he's not a good three point per center,

0:03:37.600 --> 0:03:39.360
<v Speaker 2>a three point shooter, I don't think so. I don't

0:03:39.360 --> 0:03:41.520
<v Speaker 2>think it matters because he's that good in there, especially

0:03:41.560 --> 0:03:44.840
<v Speaker 2>with Cooper flag evolving, I think that combination will be

0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:46.720
<v Speaker 2>even better this next season.

0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:50.480
<v Speaker 6>That being said, the mat has got so many bigs

0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:52.280
<v Speaker 6>and so many wings, oh.

0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:55.280
<v Speaker 1>My god, swingmen for sure. They have like eight nine

0:03:55.360 --> 0:03:56.840
<v Speaker 1>swing men on this roster right.

0:03:56.760 --> 0:03:59.480
<v Speaker 2>Now we're here in August fourth. A couple of those

0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:02.320
<v Speaker 2>have to be moved in the next couple months. We're

0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:05.520
<v Speaker 2>talking flag leading the way. Then a PJ. Washington, Aldama

0:04:05.600 --> 0:04:08.720
<v Speaker 2>reesa che Caleb Martin Clay if you put him in

0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:10.160
<v Speaker 2>that area.

0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:12.320
<v Speaker 1>Be Bearovich who's coming over from.

0:04:12.120 --> 0:04:14.440
<v Speaker 2>Europe, Max Christie, I guess if you want to call

0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:17.279
<v Speaker 2>him that, And then Gafford Lively, Maries Johnson who is

0:04:17.560 --> 0:04:20.760
<v Speaker 2>you know, both uh and then Musa Sise who's going

0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:22.760
<v Speaker 2>to be back, so he's got it all man.

0:04:23.839 --> 0:04:30.680
<v Speaker 3>Masia likes tall, long guys, and look, Naji Marshall high

0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:33.679
<v Speaker 3>approval rating for a random dude in the NBA. Find

0:04:33.680 --> 0:04:37.240
<v Speaker 3>a nerd who likes basketball that doesn't like Naji Marshall.

0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:39.560
<v Speaker 3>Maybe somebody will bring up the three point percentage. I

0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:41.520
<v Speaker 3>think he should be a better shooter, but whatever, he

0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:44.360
<v Speaker 3>is the knife, he gets to the rim, he finishes inside.

0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:46.240
<v Speaker 3>But I still think he is a guy that could

0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:49.159
<v Speaker 3>be traded by the Dallas Mavericks because, like you're saying,

0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:51.760
<v Speaker 3>the crunch, everybody plays forward on this team. We know

0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:54.719
<v Speaker 3>that's a Massai Ujii kind of trade, but it also

0:04:54.800 --> 0:04:57.320
<v Speaker 3>means that Naji Marshall, on a contract like this that

0:04:57.560 --> 0:05:00.960
<v Speaker 3>is descending at a low per percentage of the cap,

0:05:01.240 --> 0:05:03.680
<v Speaker 3>still eligible to be traded, depending on if you want

0:05:03.760 --> 0:05:07.280
<v Speaker 3>a guy who's more like I guess Naji Marshall's like

0:05:07.320 --> 0:05:09.600
<v Speaker 3>a two slash three, you would say PJ. Washington's like

0:05:09.640 --> 0:05:12.080
<v Speaker 3>a three slash four, maybe even throwing a little five

0:05:12.120 --> 0:05:14.880
<v Speaker 3>slash in there as well. If you're more interested in

0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:18.080
<v Speaker 3>the perimeter style of wing, maybe you're going to the

0:05:18.160 --> 0:05:20.560
<v Speaker 3>Mavericks and saying, can we talk about Naji Marshall. Maybe

0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:23.359
<v Speaker 3>you're saying, can we talk about PJ. Washington. I just

0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:25.920
<v Speaker 3>don't think it's a guarantee that Marshall sticks around, because

0:05:25.920 --> 0:05:27.599
<v Speaker 3>I don't think it's a guarantee that hardly any of

0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:31.159
<v Speaker 3>these guys on the maps stick around outside of Cooper Flag.

0:05:31.279 --> 0:05:33.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Good for him though, to have a career year

0:05:33.279 --> 0:05:35.640
<v Speaker 1>there where he averaged like fifteen points per game, shot

0:05:35.680 --> 0:05:37.919
<v Speaker 1>really good percentages except from three, like you said, and

0:05:37.960 --> 0:05:40.800
<v Speaker 1>then to parlay that into a good contract here that

0:05:41.000 --> 0:05:44.400
<v Speaker 1>is doubling his annual salary, So good for him. Love

0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:46.960
<v Speaker 1>that stat from ESPN in their little rite up sort

0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:49.560
<v Speaker 1>of caught me by surprise that just how adept he

0:05:49.640 --> 0:05:53.640
<v Speaker 1>is with the floater. It's like Donovan Mitchell, Jalen Brunson,

0:05:53.680 --> 0:05:55.960
<v Speaker 1>and then Naji Marshall when it comes to hitting just

0:05:56.279 --> 0:05:59.960
<v Speaker 1>a high number, total volume of floaters this past season

0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:01.680
<v Speaker 1>just sort of you wouldn't think you think of those

0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:04.520
<v Speaker 1>first two guys, absolutely, those guys come to mind, Brunson, Mitchell,

0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:07.080
<v Speaker 1>all NBA players, and then you're like Naji Marshall, Right there,

0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:09.160
<v Speaker 1>it's a shot though, and that's why he has those

0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:11.680
<v Speaker 1>high percentages. Like you're saying, closer to the rim as

0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:13.839
<v Speaker 1>he gets. So he has turned it into a really

0:06:13.920 --> 0:06:17.400
<v Speaker 1>nice contract here. But yeah, there's a lot of guys

0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:19.120
<v Speaker 1>just like I don't think Klay Thompson is going to

0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:22.480
<v Speaker 1>be there. I mean, if we're including him, the PJ Washington,

0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:25.000
<v Speaker 1>he's been in a lot of trade rumors. Could he

0:06:25.080 --> 0:06:27.839
<v Speaker 1>be moved, Yeah, so maybe they consolidate a little bit here.

0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:29.280
<v Speaker 1>I think a big part of it is this idea

0:06:29.360 --> 0:06:31.880
<v Speaker 1>that Cooper Flight does seem to really like playing with him,

0:06:32.480 --> 0:06:36.360
<v Speaker 1>the knife Pig. Yeah, yeah, so and probably a reason

0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:38.880
<v Speaker 1>also you got to think about that in terms of

0:06:38.920 --> 0:06:41.960
<v Speaker 1>like your cornerstone building around him. So he's there for now,

0:06:42.200 --> 0:06:43.919
<v Speaker 1>and he'll be there obviously at the start of the season.

0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:45.000
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

0:06:45.160 --> 0:06:48.280
<v Speaker 2>The Clay, You're right, last year of his contract seems

0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:50.880
<v Speaker 2>like he's inevitably going to go somewhere with PJ. Walhington

0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:53.200
<v Speaker 2>has been so many rumors, But that's a big contract

0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:56.679
<v Speaker 2>that PJ signed a long time ago, so way bigger

0:06:56.720 --> 0:06:59.520
<v Speaker 2>than Nauji Marshall if you're looking at dollar per dollar.

0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:02.760
<v Speaker 2>Also makes some money, but he's only signed through this

0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:07.360
<v Speaker 2>season until they have to start picking up options there

0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:10.120
<v Speaker 2>and number one picks make some money. He'll be making

0:07:10.160 --> 0:07:13.000
<v Speaker 2>seventeen mill next season. So yeah, Messiah's got to get

0:07:13.160 --> 0:07:16.600
<v Speaker 2>h got to get snipping here. Uh pretty soon, He's

0:07:16.680 --> 0:07:18.440
<v Speaker 2>kind of make some cuts, I think.

0:07:18.520 --> 0:07:21.720
<v Speaker 3>So got to schedule the bris Huh.

0:07:21.800 --> 0:07:23.480
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I'll say to he was a knife pine. You

0:07:23.520 --> 0:07:24.720
<v Speaker 6>can chop in, you know.

0:07:25.320 --> 0:07:25.440
<v Speaker 1>Uh.

0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:27.640
<v Speaker 6>But yeah, the briss get the brisk.

0:07:27.880 --> 0:07:31.880
<v Speaker 3>Be a funny nickname for him. Mass under on FanDuel

0:07:31.920 --> 0:07:32.840
<v Speaker 3>thirty two and a half.

0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:37.680
<v Speaker 1>Lo Wow, very low. Oh my goodness, it's done a lot. Yeah, yeah,

0:07:37.680 --> 0:07:38.880
<v Speaker 1>it's done a lot this summer.

0:07:38.920 --> 0:07:42.120
<v Speaker 3>Massaia, jeri In obviously, Jason kidd out, Dusty may In,

0:07:42.760 --> 0:07:45.320
<v Speaker 3>whereas Johnson their draft pick they signed or are traded

0:07:45.320 --> 0:07:47.920
<v Speaker 3>for al Dama. Kyrie Irving's coming back. He hasn't played

0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:51.720
<v Speaker 3>in nineteen months, thirty four years old. Derek Lively remember him, Yeah,

0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:53.760
<v Speaker 3>he's coming back. And then all these other guys that

0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:57.320
<v Speaker 3>task mentioned. Sasser's there, Babarovich, deala Rea who they drafted

0:07:57.360 --> 0:08:02.200
<v Speaker 3>Resa che after the trade. I've heard people speculating that

0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:05.200
<v Speaker 3>the MAVs could be a play and contention team.

0:08:05.320 --> 0:08:07.040
<v Speaker 1>You know, say things go.

0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:10.560
<v Speaker 3>Poorly for the Warriors, curries out for thirty games, they

0:08:10.600 --> 0:08:13.640
<v Speaker 3>fall off there's a spot available in the Western Conference.

0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:18.120
<v Speaker 3>That seems a little far fetched to me, but it

0:08:18.160 --> 0:08:21.000
<v Speaker 3>seems like it should be a more normal team. Yeah,

0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:24.200
<v Speaker 3>for Mavericks, assuming Kyrie Irving comes back and is playing,

0:08:24.240 --> 0:08:25.560
<v Speaker 3>they need some shooting on the court.

0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:29.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's a good line. Thirty two and a half,

0:08:29.200 --> 0:08:31.680
<v Speaker 1>he said. I like it. It's like like, oh, they're

0:08:31.720 --> 0:08:33.880
<v Speaker 1>going to be right there. It feels like it's going

0:08:33.960 --> 0:08:37.400
<v Speaker 1>to be a thirty to thirty six winning team. So

0:08:37.440 --> 0:08:39.000
<v Speaker 1>they sort of got it spot on in my mind.

0:08:39.000 --> 0:08:40.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, that's a tough one. We'll have to

0:08:40.840 --> 0:08:43.920
<v Speaker 1>save that for our over under podcasts at some point,

0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:45.720
<v Speaker 1>which I guess they all all are. All the lines

0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:48.560
<v Speaker 1>don't now on fandom for every team. Yeah, you just

0:08:48.559 --> 0:08:51.319
<v Speaker 1>gotta scroll. It's always like how early do we want

0:08:51.360 --> 0:08:53.400
<v Speaker 1>to do it? Yeah, you know, people get at it

0:08:53.480 --> 0:08:55.960
<v Speaker 1>right away. Can't blame them. We need content. But you're like,

0:08:56.160 --> 0:08:58.920
<v Speaker 1>I could wait until we get actually close to see

0:08:58.960 --> 0:09:00.240
<v Speaker 1>but you can just do it twice too. You do

0:09:00.320 --> 0:09:03.040
<v Speaker 1>one now initial reactions as we just do, and then

0:09:03.520 --> 0:09:04.920
<v Speaker 1>actually think it out as we get closer.

0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:07.000
<v Speaker 3>You can definitely still bet it right now. But I'm

0:09:07.040 --> 0:09:09.480
<v Speaker 3>like the Piston's second best player isn't on the team

0:09:09.520 --> 0:09:09.800
<v Speaker 3>right now.

0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:12.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, probably should Wait, Yeah, there are some situations like that,

0:09:13.040 --> 0:09:16.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah for sure. All right. The Warriors did some moves

0:09:16.559 --> 0:09:20.320
<v Speaker 1>the retaining the Anthony Melton and Gary Payton the second,

0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:23.280
<v Speaker 1>So those guys are both coming back to your guys

0:09:23.280 --> 0:09:25.800
<v Speaker 1>that are tast smell us. I think the Warriors will

0:09:25.800 --> 0:09:28.840
<v Speaker 1>now have ten of the twelve players who had their

0:09:28.880 --> 0:09:31.760
<v Speaker 1>most playing time last season back here for twenty six

0:09:31.800 --> 0:09:35.199
<v Speaker 1>twenty seven. On one hand, you're like, hell, yeah, continuity,

0:09:35.200 --> 0:09:36.600
<v Speaker 1>and then on the other hand, you're like, hold on,

0:09:37.000 --> 0:09:40.120
<v Speaker 1>they were very good last year, thirty seven and forty

0:09:40.160 --> 0:09:43.280
<v Speaker 1>five last year and missing the playoffs entirely as they

0:09:43.320 --> 0:09:46.160
<v Speaker 1>fall into play in So your reaction to bring these

0:09:46.160 --> 0:09:46.640
<v Speaker 1>guys back.

0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:49.200
<v Speaker 6>I thought they signed to Anthony Melton a month ago.

0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:53.520
<v Speaker 2>I mean, he was in headlines, but he wasn't officially

0:09:53.559 --> 0:09:55.800
<v Speaker 2>signed until just now. I guess they're waiting for Braun.

0:09:55.800 --> 0:09:59.079
<v Speaker 2>If that has any implications. You said Gary Payton the

0:09:59.080 --> 0:10:00.760
<v Speaker 2>second is also my guy. I don't know he was

0:10:00.760 --> 0:10:02.640
<v Speaker 2>also he was one of your guys. I'm sure he's

0:10:02.760 --> 0:10:06.600
<v Speaker 2>my Guyton definitely. Yeah, Well, you're right, ten of twelve

0:10:06.679 --> 0:10:09.959
<v Speaker 2>guys they're waiting for Brown. But now you've got essentially

0:10:09.960 --> 0:10:12.720
<v Speaker 2>the exact same team plus a Yaxel Lendenborg who they drafted,

0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:17.319
<v Speaker 2>minus a Pat Spencer, the lacrosse genius. I mean, otherwise,

0:10:18.280 --> 0:10:22.839
<v Speaker 2>post the QP, Moses Moody out out. Yeah he's hanging

0:10:22.880 --> 0:10:26.079
<v Speaker 2>out golfing with Steph Curry. Yeah, Steph showed up in

0:10:26.200 --> 0:10:30.280
<v Speaker 2>Arkansas for Moses Moody's event as they bond. They got

0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:32.240
<v Speaker 2>to do some connection. But as you said, I think

0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:34.920
<v Speaker 2>that's the interesting thing. Trey brought up whether Steph Curry

0:10:37.120 --> 0:10:39.920
<v Speaker 2>will be playing a ton That's my end. I'm interested

0:10:39.920 --> 0:10:41.760
<v Speaker 2>in that because if you're looking at the exact same

0:10:41.800 --> 0:10:44.920
<v Speaker 2>team essentially minus Jimmy Butler, I guess you could say

0:10:44.920 --> 0:10:48.080
<v Speaker 2>minus him for the entire start of the season, how

0:10:48.160 --> 0:10:51.040
<v Speaker 2>much do they just roll out Steph every single game.

0:10:51.080 --> 0:10:53.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm just curious. I'm just curious what he's thinking, because

0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:55.520
<v Speaker 2>it is Steph and he's gonna want to play, But

0:10:55.600 --> 0:10:57.079
<v Speaker 2>I just want to know how he looks at this season.

0:10:57.320 --> 0:11:00.480
<v Speaker 2>I see, you know, I I reluctantly bring up Jimmy

0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:01.640
<v Speaker 2>Butler not being there because.

0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:02.160
<v Speaker 1>He could be back.

0:11:02.720 --> 0:11:06.520
<v Speaker 6>That's oh yeah, eventually, just what point of the season

0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:06.800
<v Speaker 6>is I.

0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:09.120
<v Speaker 1>Think it'll be like, you know, I know we have

0:11:09.160 --> 0:11:12.880
<v Speaker 1>a question about the Christmas Day schedule. It's like I

0:11:12.880 --> 0:11:14.719
<v Speaker 1>feel like that's going to be quickly become like will

0:11:14.760 --> 0:11:16.840
<v Speaker 1>Jimmy Butler be back by Christmas. Let's say the Warriors

0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:18.040
<v Speaker 1>have a Christmas Day game. I don't know if they

0:11:18.080 --> 0:11:20.200
<v Speaker 1>will or not, but like it'll be around there, and

0:11:20.240 --> 0:11:22.199
<v Speaker 1>you know, like the buzz will build, like, oh, that's

0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:24.080
<v Speaker 1>too early. Maybe it depends on how the team looks

0:11:24.080 --> 0:11:25.800
<v Speaker 1>too and it's doing so all that. But do you

0:11:25.840 --> 0:11:27.680
<v Speaker 1>have any thoughts on Melton and GP and just the

0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:32.040
<v Speaker 1>Warriors basically running it back. I'm it's not basically running

0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:32.240
<v Speaker 1>it back.

0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:34.280
<v Speaker 3>They're running it back on thirty seven win team and

0:11:34.360 --> 0:11:37.120
<v Speaker 3>lost three of their top ten guys, so they're worse.

0:11:37.400 --> 0:11:39.600
<v Speaker 3>Jimmy Butler is going to be out like Steph Curry.

0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:41.120
<v Speaker 3>The goal is going to have to be playing more

0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:44.120
<v Speaker 3>than forty three games. Unfortunately for him, he's going to

0:11:44.200 --> 0:11:45.719
<v Speaker 3>want to play every single game and it's going to

0:11:45.760 --> 0:11:47.640
<v Speaker 3>be a huge load on Steph Curry, which has been

0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:50.360
<v Speaker 3>the case for the Warriors for the past four seasons,

0:11:50.360 --> 0:11:52.079
<v Speaker 3>and every season they end up in the playing tournament.

0:11:52.400 --> 0:11:55.200
<v Speaker 3>So I assume the same thing will happen here. Anybody

0:11:55.240 --> 0:11:57.920
<v Speaker 3>could assigned to Anthony Meltain and Gary Payton up until now,

0:11:57.960 --> 0:11:58.959
<v Speaker 3>and nobody else wanted.

0:11:58.840 --> 0:12:01.960
<v Speaker 6>To guys, Yeah, they're guys.

0:12:02.120 --> 0:12:04.200
<v Speaker 1>I was shocked to see. It just shocked me that

0:12:04.240 --> 0:12:06.440
<v Speaker 1>he'd been there this long. Gary Payton the Second has

0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:09.880
<v Speaker 1>played with the Warriors for each of the past six seasons. Now, ye,

0:12:09.960 --> 0:12:12.640
<v Speaker 1>I was like, what how did we get to six? Already?

0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:14.959
<v Speaker 1>Here at that weird trade season where he left and

0:12:15.000 --> 0:12:17.160
<v Speaker 1>came back. That's right. He played for the Blazers for

0:12:17.280 --> 0:12:19.920
<v Speaker 1>like a cup of coffee in twenty two to twenty three,

0:12:20.000 --> 0:12:21.640
<v Speaker 1>and then yeah he was right back. But oh yeah,

0:12:21.679 --> 0:12:23.480
<v Speaker 1>I just couldn't believe that. It's like, wow, it's been

0:12:23.520 --> 0:12:26.920
<v Speaker 1>that long. As Golden State of Mind noted, despite Gary

0:12:26.920 --> 0:12:31.360
<v Speaker 1>Payton the Second's long injury history, he was quietly one

0:12:31.400 --> 0:12:34.000
<v Speaker 1>of their healthiest role players last season. Like that was

0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:36.800
<v Speaker 1>actually a really healthy season for GP two, played a

0:12:36.880 --> 0:12:39.640
<v Speaker 1>majority of the games. Again, he's been injured and banged

0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:41.439
<v Speaker 1>up a lot through his career, but he was good

0:12:41.520 --> 0:12:43.040
<v Speaker 1>last year and then of course couldn't need him out

0:12:43.040 --> 0:12:45.120
<v Speaker 1>there to contribute as a good player, a good role player.

0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:48.480
<v Speaker 1>You're right, TK, other people could have had him wanted him. Yes,

0:12:48.840 --> 0:12:51.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure there was always some sort of agreement to like, hey,

0:12:51.800 --> 0:12:54.640
<v Speaker 1>like Draymond doing his whole thing with his qualifying offer,

0:12:54.760 --> 0:12:57.240
<v Speaker 1>like hey, let's go try and get Lebron. Everybody just

0:12:57.240 --> 0:13:00.320
<v Speaker 1>wait right now, but don't worry about, you know, your

0:13:00.880 --> 0:13:02.680
<v Speaker 1>status here with the team. And so once that was

0:13:02.679 --> 0:13:04.160
<v Speaker 1>done and he went to Philly, it was like, all right,

0:13:04.280 --> 0:13:06.080
<v Speaker 1>let's get these guys back. What else are we going

0:13:06.120 --> 0:13:07.360
<v Speaker 1>to do? What else we're we gonna do?

0:13:07.480 --> 0:13:07.680
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

0:13:07.720 --> 0:13:09.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And as far as Jimmy Butler goes injured on

0:13:09.880 --> 0:13:14.880
<v Speaker 2>January nineteenth, timing wise, it seems like Christmas could be

0:13:14.920 --> 0:13:17.680
<v Speaker 2>the day I think he should be. Yeah, it's a

0:13:17.720 --> 0:13:21.040
<v Speaker 2>full eleven months. You imagine he would be back and

0:13:21.400 --> 0:13:24.160
<v Speaker 2>playing what that's you know, fifty over fifty games of

0:13:24.200 --> 0:13:26.760
<v Speaker 2>the season, if yeah, if, if you know, if he

0:13:26.800 --> 0:13:29.120
<v Speaker 2>can come back and be healthy'll be thirty seven.

0:13:30.400 --> 0:13:32.440
<v Speaker 1>These guys are not getting obviously.

0:13:32.559 --> 0:13:32.760
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

0:13:32.800 --> 0:13:34.679
<v Speaker 2>The one guy that we thought, oh man, is he

0:13:34.720 --> 0:13:36.760
<v Speaker 2>gonna be able to play through all that? He has

0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:40.040
<v Speaker 2>been essentially and you know, most of the time, not

0:13:40.080 --> 0:13:42.200
<v Speaker 2>all the time. But now now this is serious, this

0:13:42.320 --> 0:13:43.199
<v Speaker 2>is very serious.

0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:46.360
<v Speaker 1>Some other minor news here. Blazer signed Jeremy so Han

0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:49.000
<v Speaker 1>to a one year deal, though I don't believe it's guaranteed,

0:13:49.040 --> 0:13:51.120
<v Speaker 1>so it's like it's not he's got to make the roster.

0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:55.880
<v Speaker 1>It's like a training camp. Basically, invite world champion Jeremy

0:13:55.920 --> 0:13:59.240
<v Speaker 1>so Yeah to think about it for a second. Yeah,

0:13:59.360 --> 0:14:00.000
<v Speaker 1>well yeah, yeah.

0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:02.840
<v Speaker 2>His highlights from last year was, well, he got in

0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:07.240
<v Speaker 2>Victor wemen Yama's face, right, that's it after playing with Victor,

0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:11.160
<v Speaker 2>after playing with him, Yeah, and Verjev situation.

0:14:12.720 --> 0:14:15.160
<v Speaker 1>You've shared your thoughts on Jeremy Sohan before. You're not

0:14:15.200 --> 0:14:15.800
<v Speaker 1>a biggest fan.

0:14:15.960 --> 0:14:18.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, nothing left to say. If he doesn't make the

0:14:18.440 --> 0:14:20.560
<v Speaker 3>team this year, he's probably done.

0:14:20.440 --> 0:14:23.160
<v Speaker 1>Could be done. Yeah, yeah, just sort of crazy. He's

0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:25.320
<v Speaker 1>not old by any means, is he How long has

0:14:25.320 --> 0:14:25.960
<v Speaker 1>he been around?

0:14:26.200 --> 0:14:29.080
<v Speaker 3>This is gonna be what year four, hits maybe year five,

0:14:29.200 --> 0:14:31.160
<v Speaker 3>I don't know. But there's only two forwards on the

0:14:31.160 --> 0:14:33.440
<v Speaker 3>Blazers right now, so he's got a chance to make

0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:33.840
<v Speaker 3>the team.

0:14:33.920 --> 0:14:38.360
<v Speaker 1>Yep. And then former Heat guard Josh Richardson announced his retirement,

0:14:39.160 --> 0:14:42.160
<v Speaker 1>so he's done. Ten year NBA vet now. He didn't

0:14:42.200 --> 0:14:44.920
<v Speaker 1>play it all last year. Most known with the Miami Heat,

0:14:45.600 --> 0:14:47.800
<v Speaker 1>played a majority of his career there, right, six of

0:14:47.840 --> 0:14:51.640
<v Speaker 1>his ten seasons had some you know time with the

0:14:51.680 --> 0:14:55.520
<v Speaker 1>Sixers and the MAVs and the Celtics and the Spurs,

0:14:55.560 --> 0:14:58.520
<v Speaker 1>I think, and the Pelicans. He ended, Uh, but Josh

0:14:58.600 --> 0:15:01.520
<v Speaker 1>Richardson was a classic Heat guy there for a couple

0:15:01.560 --> 0:15:03.440
<v Speaker 1>of years. He won't really really good year where he

0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:06.520
<v Speaker 1>averaged like sixteen seventeen points per game. He was part

0:15:06.520 --> 0:15:10.080
<v Speaker 1>of the Jimmy Butler signing trade. He was so his

0:15:10.800 --> 0:15:12.800
<v Speaker 1>claim to fame because he was a solid player, decent

0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:13.600
<v Speaker 1>role player for sure.

0:15:13.720 --> 0:15:16.760
<v Speaker 2>He was solid. Yeah, you know, he kept trying hard

0:15:16.800 --> 0:15:18.320
<v Speaker 2>for Miami. He wanted to be known as a hard

0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:20.320
<v Speaker 2>playing guy. And he was a heart playing guy. Speaking

0:15:20.360 --> 0:15:24.880
<v Speaker 2>of Miami and guys who are near retiring, Victor Oladipo

0:15:25.000 --> 0:15:28.040
<v Speaker 2>is trying to come back. Yeah, a former Miami Heat player.

0:15:28.080 --> 0:15:31.880
<v Speaker 2>He was doing the Las Vegas workouts at Summer League,

0:15:32.120 --> 0:15:35.840
<v Speaker 2>getting these private workouts, guys coming in. T Jass was

0:15:35.840 --> 0:15:44.680
<v Speaker 2>working out with him, balling against him and he.

0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:45.080
<v Speaker 1>He's playing with the honest and now he's playing. Yeah

0:15:45.200 --> 0:15:47.920
<v Speaker 1>that all that, Yeah, the Victor olidepen.

0:15:48.880 --> 0:15:52.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and you can see u on TJ's YouTube channel.

0:15:52.680 --> 0:15:54.640
<v Speaker 2>Pretty sure him versus A la Depot.

0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:57.440
<v Speaker 1>Right, Yeah, I'd be a weird guy to play against.

0:15:57.440 --> 0:15:59.560
<v Speaker 1>All he does is he's up in the upper bowl

0:15:59.760 --> 0:16:04.680
<v Speaker 1>jumping off something doing a three six. See that's what

0:16:04.800 --> 0:16:08.320
<v Speaker 1>you think about Tjka. I'm sure he's good. Of course,

0:16:08.360 --> 0:16:09.520
<v Speaker 1>he's talented enough.

0:16:09.720 --> 0:16:11.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Yan has said to him, you should play in Europe.

0:16:12.320 --> 0:16:14.280
<v Speaker 2>Why haven't you played in Europe? Because he's got some game.

0:16:14.360 --> 0:16:16.000
<v Speaker 2>It's like five, 't six. That's why he doesn't play.

0:16:16.040 --> 0:16:16.520
<v Speaker 6>He's smaller.

0:16:16.600 --> 0:16:19.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Josh Richardson is two years younger than Victor ola Depot.

0:16:19.120 --> 0:16:20.160
<v Speaker 3>I don't think I would have guessed that.

0:16:20.680 --> 0:16:21.040
<v Speaker 1>Wow.

0:16:21.160 --> 0:16:24.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, Josh Richardson is is young for a lot.

0:16:24.840 --> 0:16:27.320
<v Speaker 2>It feels like he's been around. Yeah exactly, so was

0:16:27.320 --> 0:16:30.080
<v Speaker 2>thirty four. Yeah, yeah, almost thirty five.

0:16:30.200 --> 0:16:32.000
<v Speaker 1>So you're making one last girl.

0:16:32.040 --> 0:16:33.880
<v Speaker 3>Not almost thirty five, just turned thirty four. Yeah, I'm

0:16:33.880 --> 0:16:35.800
<v Speaker 3>making him one last goal of it. And apparently the

0:16:35.880 --> 0:16:37.760
<v Speaker 3>Kings are interested in Victor O la Depot to be

0:16:37.920 --> 0:16:40.800
<v Speaker 3>like a mentor for Darius A cuff h.

0:16:40.880 --> 0:16:43.560
<v Speaker 1>Yes, right, and there's now I guess rumors too, and

0:16:43.560 --> 0:16:45.800
<v Speaker 1>maybe it was Stein Westbrook could be back.

0:16:45.680 --> 0:16:48.560
<v Speaker 3>With one old guy. We don't want to learn it

0:16:48.600 --> 0:16:49.960
<v Speaker 3>from Zach Lavine, is what they're saying.

0:16:50.280 --> 0:16:52.040
<v Speaker 1>But who's going to be there? It sounds like because

0:16:52.040 --> 0:16:53.760
<v Speaker 1>they don't want to do buy it? Yeah, I mean

0:16:53.800 --> 0:16:58.440
<v Speaker 1>so yes, we don't want to learn. We'll see the

0:16:58.440 --> 0:16:59.160
<v Speaker 1>old people.

0:16:59.120 --> 0:17:03.400
<v Speaker 2>A tiny thing before move one. You mentioned, uh, Jeremy Sohan.

0:17:03.520 --> 0:17:06.520
<v Speaker 2>The Blazers made me think of Delano Banton. Where's he had?

0:17:06.960 --> 0:17:09.120
<v Speaker 2>He was playing with the Blazers for a while. Yeah

0:17:09.160 --> 0:17:12.080
<v Speaker 2>he was, and he did with the Celtics last year. Yeah,

0:17:12.080 --> 0:17:16.040
<v Speaker 2>they waved him just this past July. But way younger,

0:17:17.480 --> 0:17:19.919
<v Speaker 2>well not way younger, I mean young in terms of

0:17:19.960 --> 0:17:25.960
<v Speaker 2>an NBA career's it's not It's not somebody's going Somebody

0:17:26.040 --> 0:17:29.520
<v Speaker 2>is gonna bring from Scarborough, isn't he? I think born

0:17:29.560 --> 0:17:30.960
<v Speaker 2>in Toronto wherever that was.

0:17:31.080 --> 0:17:33.440
<v Speaker 1>I feel like he's a Scarborough kid. But yeah, sure

0:17:33.480 --> 0:17:36.080
<v Speaker 1>I could. And I guess the only other thing this

0:17:36.080 --> 0:17:39.480
<v Speaker 1>weekend was everybody got married. I see all this footage

0:17:39.480 --> 0:17:42.840
<v Speaker 1>of like Donovan Mitchell, Mitchell got married. I think Tyree's Haliburton.

0:17:43.760 --> 0:17:48.400
<v Speaker 1>I think Kenny Smith, what, yeah, are Kenny Smith really?

0:17:48.440 --> 0:17:51.359
<v Speaker 1>I think you got remarried obviously on his reality show.

0:17:51.840 --> 0:17:58.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't know bring we were cameras showed up in

0:17:58.359 --> 0:18:00.479
<v Speaker 1>a room that we were in. Hell was going on

0:18:01.119 --> 0:18:04.159
<v Speaker 1>Kenny's filming a reality show? Okay, did need be a

0:18:04.200 --> 0:18:06.880
<v Speaker 1>side a waiver? Don't worry, this will probably never air

0:18:07.359 --> 0:18:11.800
<v Speaker 1>that t Yeah, I don't know. You may not have

0:18:11.800 --> 0:18:13.320
<v Speaker 1>been in the room, but we were in that weird

0:18:13.320 --> 0:18:20.359
<v Speaker 1>control room that we're never in. They just like he

0:18:20.440 --> 0:18:22.199
<v Speaker 1>came in and all the cameras. It was like a

0:18:22.280 --> 0:18:23.000
<v Speaker 1>reality show.

0:18:23.640 --> 0:18:24.680
<v Speaker 6>Why were you in the controller?

0:18:24.800 --> 0:18:28.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't know why. We were in the one by

0:18:28.640 --> 0:18:32.440
<v Speaker 1>the treehouse, that one off the treehouse, like the main one.

0:18:32.600 --> 0:18:34.320
<v Speaker 4>We went in there periodic.

0:18:34.480 --> 0:18:37.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we would like remember what we would practice our

0:18:37.680 --> 0:18:39.760
<v Speaker 3>end of the year musical performances in that room.

0:18:39.840 --> 0:18:46.040
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes yeah, we would like we would prep for shows

0:18:46.040 --> 0:18:48.600
<v Speaker 1>in there. Sometimes maybe we just got bumped out of

0:18:48.600 --> 0:18:51.040
<v Speaker 1>the treehouse. Yeah, yeah, I don't know. Anyway, we never

0:18:51.080 --> 0:18:51.440
<v Speaker 1>made the.

0:18:51.359 --> 0:18:54.000
<v Speaker 3>Cut for the Kenny Smith the reality show Kenny Smith,

0:18:54.040 --> 0:18:58.600
<v Speaker 3>Mary's Croatian influencer in stunning ceremony, new sentence to me.

0:19:02.560 --> 0:19:05.240
<v Speaker 3>The only reason I saw this was because our former

0:19:05.400 --> 0:19:07.680
<v Speaker 3>one of our former makeup artists was invited to the wedding.

0:19:08.280 --> 0:19:09.639
<v Speaker 1>God she was there. That's how I saw it. I

0:19:09.640 --> 0:19:10.640
<v Speaker 1>was like, and then I was like.

<v Speaker 7>Married.

0:19:17.200 --> 0:19:18.280
<v Speaker 2>that's what we got once.

0:19:18.520 --> 0:19:20.919
<v Speaker 1>I love that speaker. Nothing wrong with that speaker.

0:19:21.040 --> 0:19:21.359
<v Speaker 6>Nope.

0:19:22.160 --> 0:19:24.480

<v Speaker 8>blah blah blah.

0:19:50.920 --> 0:19:51.480
<v Speaker 1>You put that.

0:19:51.560 --> 0:20:02.520
<v Speaker 7>Special reading your emails and your tweets and your comments,

0:20:02.600 --> 0:20:06.720
<v Speaker 7>your questions that you had, NBA NBA ish questions.

0:20:06.720 --> 0:20:09.040
<v Speaker 1>Thanks to everybody that sent one in. Apologies if we

0:20:09.040 --> 0:20:11.239
<v Speaker 1>didn't get to yours. We do keep sort of like

0:20:11.280 --> 0:20:13.720
<v Speaker 1>a I don't know, like a bank of the ones

0:20:13.720 --> 0:20:15.280
<v Speaker 1>that we don't get to the best of the best.

0:20:15.520 --> 0:20:15.639
<v Speaker 7>Ah.

0:20:15.720 --> 0:20:17.160
<v Speaker 1>We'll try and get to that later, so maybe you'll

0:20:17.160 --> 0:20:19.320
<v Speaker 1>hear it on a later show. First one from Pixel

0:20:19.359 --> 0:20:23.359
<v Speaker 1>Pete's up Dunks. Interested to hear your thoughts on Kevin

0:20:23.440 --> 0:20:26.400
<v Speaker 1>Durant comparing Lebron joining the seventy six ers to his

0:20:26.560 --> 0:20:30.680
<v Speaker 1>moves earlier in his career. The money quote. I saw

0:20:30.680 --> 0:20:32.600
<v Speaker 1>this quote by way of Ben Gulliver who was talking

0:20:32.640 --> 0:20:35.680
<v Speaker 1>to Katie. Quote, the last time they put three twenty

0:20:35.720 --> 0:20:38.080
<v Speaker 1>point scorers on a team, they said it was unfair,

0:20:38.640 --> 0:20:41.280
<v Speaker 1>which was the Warriors team I was on. The seventy

0:20:41.320 --> 0:20:43.920
<v Speaker 1>six ers have got four to twenty five point scorers

0:20:43.960 --> 0:20:45.800
<v Speaker 1>on this team, so hell yeah, I think they're going

0:20:45.880 --> 0:20:48.160
<v Speaker 1>to be a contender. What do you guys think?

0:20:48.200 --> 0:20:48.360
<v Speaker 2>Though?

0:20:48.359 --> 0:20:51.760
<v Speaker 1>Again that's from Pixel p TKO's start with you any

0:20:51.760 --> 0:20:54.359
<v Speaker 1>comment or any reaction to Katie's comments that you know,

0:20:54.440 --> 0:20:56.240
<v Speaker 1>we are in the dog days of here in the

0:20:56.480 --> 0:20:58.800
<v Speaker 1>NBA summer, so this sort of got a buzz. Some

0:20:58.800 --> 0:21:01.080
<v Speaker 1>people clowning them, some people saying this is not a

0:21:01.119 --> 0:21:02.439
<v Speaker 1>big deal. Why are we making this a big deal?

0:21:02.560 --> 0:21:05.320
<v Speaker 3>Do you think? I mean, Katie has been doubling down

0:21:05.400 --> 0:21:08.520
<v Speaker 3>on it, basically saying that this year's seventy six Ers

0:21:08.560 --> 0:21:12.640
<v Speaker 3>are way better than the twenty seventeen Warriors and then

0:21:12.760 --> 0:21:15.760
<v Speaker 3>literally comparing Joel Embiid as an MVP player to Steph

0:21:15.800 --> 0:21:16.240
<v Speaker 3>Curry as.

0:21:16.160 --> 0:21:17.000
<v Speaker 1>An MVP player.

0:21:17.080 --> 0:21:17.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:21:17.359 --> 0:21:18.200
<v Speaker 1>Well, that's weird.

0:21:18.240 --> 0:21:20.560
<v Speaker 3>He's trying to make his rings look better, is what

0:21:20.600 --> 0:21:22.960
<v Speaker 3>I think is happening with Kevin Durant here. I also

0:21:23.000 --> 0:21:25.760
<v Speaker 3>think he's not being completely honest because he's played on

0:21:25.840 --> 0:21:28.879
<v Speaker 3>three more teams that have three twenty point scorers since

0:21:29.000 --> 0:21:32.520
<v Speaker 3>being in Golden State. The Knicks had four twenty point

0:21:32.520 --> 0:21:37.399
<v Speaker 3>scorers last year, Brunson, Towns, Bridges, and of course Jordan Clarkson,

0:21:37.400 --> 0:21:40.040
<v Speaker 3>who averaged over twenty points per game for an entire season.

0:21:40.600 --> 0:21:44.000
<v Speaker 3>Who remembers that that happened. Though four twenty point scores

0:21:44.359 --> 0:21:47.800
<v Speaker 3>on the Knicks last year, the Lakers had Luca Reeves

0:21:47.840 --> 0:21:50.160
<v Speaker 3>and Lebron. That's three twenty point per game scores. Twenty

0:21:50.160 --> 0:21:54.800
<v Speaker 3>five thunder SGA JDub and Chat averaged nineteen point seven.

0:21:55.040 --> 0:21:57.639
<v Speaker 3>The Celtics in twenty four had Tatum, Brown and Porzingis

0:21:57.640 --> 0:21:59.719
<v Speaker 3>average over twenty. They also had Drew Holliday, who had

0:21:59.720 --> 0:22:04.200
<v Speaker 3>a twenty point per game season in his career up

0:22:04.240 --> 0:22:07.200
<v Speaker 3>to that point. So this happens a lot. I don't

0:22:07.200 --> 0:22:09.760
<v Speaker 3>think that Lebron joining up with the seventy six ers

0:22:09.800 --> 0:22:13.240
<v Speaker 3>is the same as Kevin Durant joining up with the

0:22:13.280 --> 0:22:15.399
<v Speaker 3>Warriors after they won seventy three games.

0:22:15.480 --> 0:22:16.040
<v Speaker 1>I do not.

0:22:16.160 --> 0:22:18.200
<v Speaker 6>I think it's that's accurate.

0:22:19.280 --> 0:22:22.440
<v Speaker 3>But I agree with Katie that the Sixers are contenders

0:22:22.920 --> 0:22:24.919
<v Speaker 3>right off dollar alone.

0:22:25.040 --> 0:22:29.840
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yeah, I thought of first hearing the actual clip,

0:22:29.920 --> 0:22:33.000
<v Speaker 2>he doesn't say the Warriors, I joint, he doesn't say

0:22:33.040 --> 0:22:35.200
<v Speaker 2>the team name, and I thought, okay, maybe he's talking

0:22:35.200 --> 0:22:40.800
<v Speaker 2>about Brooklyn hard And and Kyrie scoring together. But after

0:22:40.840 --> 0:22:44.040
<v Speaker 2>seeing like you're mentioning Trey, he's been defending it. Since

0:22:44.520 --> 0:22:48.560
<v Speaker 2>the guy is on threads defending it. You know, he

0:22:48.680 --> 0:22:51.080
<v Speaker 2>used to have burner Twitter accounts, but now it doesn't

0:22:51.080 --> 0:22:52.840
<v Speaker 2>feel like he's on Twitter. Where did you see him

0:22:52.840 --> 0:22:53.400
<v Speaker 2>defending it?

0:22:55.040 --> 0:22:57.679
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, literally, I don't know. I think it

0:22:57.720 --> 0:22:59.080
<v Speaker 1>was an Instagram comments.

0:22:59.160 --> 0:23:01.680
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, okay, yeah, but I think he's done with Twitter.

0:23:01.720 --> 0:23:05.080
<v Speaker 2>He's now on threads and Instagram, I guess. Ah, but yeah,

0:23:05.160 --> 0:23:08.040
<v Speaker 2>he was defendant on threads. People are saying, you're delusional.

0:23:08.040 --> 0:23:10.639
<v Speaker 2>You joined a seventy three win team. Well, everyone was

0:23:10.680 --> 0:23:13.240
<v Speaker 2>in their prime. The Sixers, well they're certainly contenders. Blah

0:23:13.280 --> 0:23:15.840
<v Speaker 2>blah blah. He responds. He goes, so you agree they

0:23:15.880 --> 0:23:19.480
<v Speaker 2>are contenders? Lol A and then he'll say.

0:23:19.280 --> 0:23:22.359
<v Speaker 1>So he's just trying to boil it down to superstar player.

0:23:22.480 --> 0:23:25.320
<v Speaker 1>Leaves goes to another team that is considered a contender.

0:23:25.440 --> 0:23:27.320
<v Speaker 1>It's the same thing. Yeah, they're all equal.

0:23:27.480 --> 0:23:28.280
<v Speaker 6>Yes, that's how think.

0:23:28.480 --> 0:23:29.080
<v Speaker 1>He doesn't.

0:23:29.800 --> 0:23:33.800
<v Speaker 2>He doesn't, even though he goes on to say, I know,

0:23:33.880 --> 0:23:37.000
<v Speaker 2>twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen Finals, MVP seventy three nine, all

0:23:37.040 --> 0:23:40.320
<v Speaker 2>that triggers y'all, please pay attention and listen to what

0:23:40.400 --> 0:23:45.119
<v Speaker 2>was asking what I said. He does understand that people

0:23:45.400 --> 0:23:49.800
<v Speaker 2>interpret it differently, but not really. You know that people

0:23:49.840 --> 0:23:54.119
<v Speaker 2>interpret that era him going to a team that literally

0:23:54.560 --> 0:23:57.040
<v Speaker 2>just won seventy three games, a team that literally beat

0:23:57.080 --> 0:23:59.359
<v Speaker 2>him in the conference finals when he was up on

0:23:59.400 --> 0:24:04.680
<v Speaker 2>them three just before going there. He sees it as

0:24:04.720 --> 0:24:05.320
<v Speaker 2>a relationship.

0:24:05.359 --> 0:24:06.879
<v Speaker 6>He understands it, but not really.

0:24:07.000 --> 0:24:10.840
<v Speaker 2>He doesn't understand how deep this is with NBA fans

0:24:10.880 --> 0:24:15.600
<v Speaker 2>because he's comparing four twenty five points scores, which you know,

0:24:15.680 --> 0:24:18.320
<v Speaker 2>Lebron hasn't scored twenty five in a while. It's been

0:24:18.640 --> 0:24:23.199
<v Speaker 2>it's been a minute. But anyway, he just doesn't get it.

0:24:23.280 --> 0:24:25.119
<v Speaker 1>But when he was talking to the media at this

0:24:25.160 --> 0:24:28.320
<v Speaker 1>whatever was it a USA basketball thing? Ye? Yeah, okay,

0:24:27.920 --> 0:24:31.600
<v Speaker 1>three three on three thing, right, He's smiling while he's

0:24:31.600 --> 0:24:33.520
<v Speaker 1>saying this, Like he had almost like a little back

0:24:33.520 --> 0:24:35.240
<v Speaker 1>and forth with Ben all over our guy, Like it

0:24:35.320 --> 0:24:37.760
<v Speaker 1>was like yeah, it was like he's asked, like, do

0:24:37.800 --> 0:24:40.000
<v Speaker 1>you think they're gonna be contenders or Lebron going there,

0:24:40.000 --> 0:24:41.800
<v Speaker 1>He's like, yeah, of course they're gonna be contenders. Like

0:24:41.960 --> 0:24:44.199
<v Speaker 1>he literally says like you don't to Ben, and Ben's like,

0:24:44.320 --> 0:24:46.479
<v Speaker 1>I'm asking you the question, you know, he smiles through it,

0:24:47.119 --> 0:24:48.800
<v Speaker 1>Like he adds like they're gonna be a fun team

0:24:48.800 --> 0:24:50.840
<v Speaker 1>to watch, They're gonna be league passworthy, like and Kate

0:24:50.880 --> 0:24:53.480
<v Speaker 1>Even's like this was good for the league. Like Lebron's

0:24:53.600 --> 0:24:57.840
<v Speaker 1>like decision, his final decision here, dragging it out obviously,

0:24:57.920 --> 0:25:00.720
<v Speaker 1>all the buzz, all the eyeballs now, all these big

0:25:00.760 --> 0:25:04.160
<v Speaker 1>marquee games, Like he recognizes that, and yeah, they're gonna

0:25:04.200 --> 0:25:07.040
<v Speaker 1>be good. But then to like try to slyly, I

0:25:07.080 --> 0:25:09.359
<v Speaker 1>don't know, like say, it's no different than when I

0:25:09.440 --> 0:25:11.439
<v Speaker 1>joined the seventy three and nine team that had the

0:25:11.520 --> 0:25:13.840
<v Speaker 1>back to back MVP stuff like come on, it's not

0:25:13.920 --> 0:25:16.560
<v Speaker 1>the sat Man, it's not the same lost those six

0:25:16.640 --> 0:25:18.719
<v Speaker 1>ers did other moves and Jaylen Brown's coming in and

0:25:18.760 --> 0:25:20.000
<v Speaker 1>like you got to try and make it all work.

0:25:20.080 --> 0:25:22.679
<v Speaker 1>Like they lost in the second round. They haven't won

0:25:22.680 --> 0:25:25.760
<v Speaker 1>a title since nineteen eighties. Yeah, like, what are we talking?

0:25:25.920 --> 0:25:28.560
<v Speaker 2>What the good comparison would have been? Yeah, when I

0:25:28.680 --> 0:25:31.200
<v Speaker 2>joined Kyrie and James Harden in Brooklyn, we had three

0:25:31.320 --> 0:25:32.640
<v Speaker 2>twenty one point scores.

0:25:32.680 --> 0:25:34.679
<v Speaker 6>Then guys got injured.

0:25:34.840 --> 0:25:37.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that first playoffs when the Bucks went and won

0:25:37.520 --> 0:25:42.520
<v Speaker 2>the championship. James Harden got hurt game one against the

0:25:42.560 --> 0:25:45.280
<v Speaker 2>Milwaukee Bucks, like twenty forty seconds into the game, and

0:25:45.280 --> 0:25:47.359
<v Speaker 2>then Kyrie got hurt in Game four when we were

0:25:47.400 --> 0:25:47.920
<v Speaker 2>up to one.

0:25:48.040 --> 0:25:50.520
<v Speaker 6>Guys get injured. The Sixers, they're old, they're going to

0:25:50.560 --> 0:25:52.840
<v Speaker 6>get injured. Two. That would have been a good comparison.

0:25:54.040 --> 0:25:55.520
<v Speaker 2>He then you could have talk about stepping on the

0:25:55.520 --> 0:25:57.720
<v Speaker 2>three point line and how they almost won. They're up

0:25:57.720 --> 0:26:01.320
<v Speaker 2>three to two on the Bucks in that playoff series. Yeah, Okay,

0:26:01.520 --> 0:26:02.159
<v Speaker 2>well there you go.

0:26:02.200 --> 0:26:05.400
<v Speaker 1>There's our there's our thoughts. Axel Pete on Katie comparing

0:26:05.480 --> 0:26:06.639
<v Speaker 1>Lebron joined the Sixers to.

0:26:06.680 --> 0:26:09.399
<v Speaker 2>His early so into it. He's on threads, he's on Instagram,

0:26:09.600 --> 0:26:12.080
<v Speaker 2>he said. When he was talking about Lebron, he said,

0:26:12.080 --> 0:26:14.399
<v Speaker 2>this is so good. All these eyeballs on the Lebron.

0:26:14.800 --> 0:26:16.880
<v Speaker 2>I mean, he's just he bleeds basketball in July.

0:26:17.040 --> 0:26:17.720
<v Speaker 1>He does, he does.

0:26:17.800 --> 0:26:20.159
<v Speaker 3>He does love basketball, which is I laughed because he

0:26:20.160 --> 0:26:26.400
<v Speaker 3>said it's TNT worthy. It's not not anymore. There used

0:26:26.400 --> 0:26:29.560
<v Speaker 3>to be for a long long time. He's tnt worthy.

0:26:29.840 --> 0:26:33.320
<v Speaker 1>Maybe maybe he's saying this should he's really the dunk

0:26:33.359 --> 0:26:36.479
<v Speaker 1>man right now. Yeah, maybe that's it. That's tybe.

0:26:36.560 --> 0:26:39.360
<v Speaker 6>So yeah, oh we need a review on dunk Man. Yeah,

0:26:39.400 --> 0:26:40.040
<v Speaker 6>I know that's why.

0:26:40.160 --> 0:26:42.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, they had three twenty point per game scores. No,

0:26:42.640 --> 0:26:46.719
<v Speaker 3>they didn't. It was Shaq, Dwight Howard, and Draymond. Draymond

0:26:46.720 --> 0:26:48.160
<v Speaker 3>never got to twenty points per game.

0:26:48.520 --> 0:26:49.760
<v Speaker 1>Damn. Those were the judges.

0:26:49.920 --> 0:26:53.080
<v Speaker 3>Those were man, No, I don't know who the judges were.

0:26:53.359 --> 0:26:57.200
<v Speaker 3>Those were the commentators, other commentators. Jack wasn't even a commentator.

0:26:57.240 --> 0:27:00.520
<v Speaker 3>Shaq was just sitting there. He's the godfather of you.

0:27:00.760 --> 0:27:06.520
<v Speaker 3>He's just overseeing everything. Raymond and a guy named Cash

0:27:06.560 --> 0:27:08.439
<v Speaker 3>are on the desk along with left Co and then

0:27:08.480 --> 0:27:10.879
<v Speaker 3>it was just five dudes. Who are the judges, and

0:27:10.880 --> 0:27:13.160
<v Speaker 3>they're harsh judges.

0:27:12.920 --> 0:27:16.720
<v Speaker 1>I guess there were some pretty I saw some of

0:27:16.760 --> 0:27:17.760
<v Speaker 1>the dunks that you were at.

0:27:17.840 --> 0:27:20.399
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Jesus, yeah, I was. I was like, oh, this

0:27:20.520 --> 0:27:22.880
<v Speaker 3>is this is dunk contest judging. This is not NBA

0:27:22.960 --> 0:27:24.800
<v Speaker 3>dunk judging totally.

0:27:25.040 --> 0:27:27.280
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I guess you got to be hard here in

0:27:27.280 --> 0:27:30.080
<v Speaker 2>Atlanta from those I don't know, Yeah, you gotta be harsh.

0:27:30.320 --> 0:27:32.719
<v Speaker 2>The winner gets five hundred ky.

0:27:32.920 --> 0:27:36.200
<v Speaker 1>This is a big standards for sure. Yeah, god, yeah, okay,

0:27:36.240 --> 0:27:39.560
<v Speaker 1>all right, dunk man, he can jump though. He's got

0:27:39.600 --> 0:27:43.160
<v Speaker 1>their good dunkers. A lot of good dunkers out there. Okay,

0:27:43.240 --> 0:27:44.400
<v Speaker 1>next question, friends.

0:27:44.800 --> 0:27:47.520
<v Speaker 2>The NBA's parody era continued last season, when the Knicks

0:27:47.560 --> 0:27:49.800
<v Speaker 2>became the eighth different team to win the championship in

0:27:49.800 --> 0:27:54.040
<v Speaker 2>the past eight years. This is Adam Silver's wet dream.

0:27:54.240 --> 0:27:57.159
<v Speaker 2>If you had to guess which team is best positioned

0:27:57.359 --> 0:28:02.040
<v Speaker 2>to become the ninth different champion. That's from Tom in Vermont.

0:28:02.160 --> 0:28:05.240
<v Speaker 1>Do you think Silver sleeps in his skims just in

0:28:05.320 --> 0:28:08.639
<v Speaker 1>case he gets too excited thinking about all the different

0:28:08.720 --> 0:28:14.000
<v Speaker 1>champions Interesting, you never thought you're gonna be asked that today.

0:28:14.119 --> 0:28:18.760
<v Speaker 1>I think Adam Silver wears matching set PJS and a

0:28:18.800 --> 0:28:24.480
<v Speaker 1>hat because yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yes, he was a warm.

0:28:25.480 --> 0:28:28.000
<v Speaker 6>So you think it's a loose fitting bottom and top.

0:28:28.400 --> 0:28:35.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think it's like like Ebenezer Scrooge es, Yeah, cool, James,

0:28:35.200 --> 0:28:37.080
<v Speaker 1>he gets up, he lights a candle when he's gonna

0:28:37.080 --> 0:28:38.520
<v Speaker 1>go take a pisto in the middle of night.

0:28:39.520 --> 0:28:43.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, because as far as skims go, are they synthetic material?

0:28:43.680 --> 0:28:45.960
<v Speaker 2>Because you want you don't want synthetic material when you're

0:28:45.960 --> 0:28:49.120
<v Speaker 2>sleeping that's going to get super hot. Like all I

0:28:49.120 --> 0:28:52.400
<v Speaker 2>think is boxer briefs, and I think if they're yeah,

0:28:52.480 --> 0:28:55.200
<v Speaker 2>Pauly Ester really, So that's what I'm concerned about for

0:28:55.280 --> 0:28:58.040
<v Speaker 2>Adam Silver when you're asking this specific question, especially when

0:28:58.040 --> 0:29:01.560
<v Speaker 2>they're wet and not going to soak. Well, yes, okay.

0:29:01.680 --> 0:29:06.760
<v Speaker 1>So the question from Tom though is, yeah, like we're

0:29:06.760 --> 0:29:10.200
<v Speaker 1>looking for a ninth different consecutive champions, so we have

0:29:10.240 --> 0:29:11.880
<v Speaker 1>to take all the teams that have already won one

0:29:11.920 --> 0:29:15.040
<v Speaker 1>in the last eight years off the board. TK. But

0:29:15.080 --> 0:29:18.320
<v Speaker 1>there are there's probably what four or five I don't

0:29:18.320 --> 0:29:20.160
<v Speaker 1>know how many of your long your list is of

0:29:20.280 --> 0:29:24.440
<v Speaker 1>like potentially realistic new to put it that way, champions.

0:29:24.160 --> 0:29:29.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, my list is seven deep realistic. Well it's too deep, okay, Okay, Well,

0:29:29.160 --> 0:29:31.200
<v Speaker 3>Spurs made the finals last year and the seventy six

0:29:31.280 --> 0:29:33.040
<v Speaker 3>ers just had a great offseason. Those are the two

0:29:33.040 --> 0:29:36.320
<v Speaker 3>teams I can most realistically seeing winning.

0:29:36.040 --> 0:29:37.840
<v Speaker 1>The championship this year. Yep.

0:29:38.080 --> 0:29:40.280
<v Speaker 3>The other teams I threw into the mix, the Calves

0:29:40.280 --> 0:29:42.600
<v Speaker 3>and the Pistons. They could make it to the finals.

0:29:42.640 --> 0:29:44.040
<v Speaker 3>I don't think that would be a surprise. You make

0:29:44.080 --> 0:29:46.160
<v Speaker 3>it to the finals, who knows what happens. Same thing

0:29:46.200 --> 0:29:48.040
<v Speaker 3>for the timber Wolves and the Rockets, and then the

0:29:48.120 --> 0:29:50.840
<v Speaker 3>last team. I just don't know what to expect from

0:29:50.880 --> 0:29:51.840
<v Speaker 3>the Indiana Pacers.

0:29:53.000 --> 0:29:53.720
<v Speaker 1>Last time we saw.

0:29:53.680 --> 0:29:57.120
<v Speaker 3>Tyre's Halliburton, the Pacers had a lead in Game seven

0:29:57.160 --> 0:29:59.680
<v Speaker 3>of the NBA Finals at halftime. They're right now on

0:29:59.720 --> 0:30:03.440
<v Speaker 3>fan plus five thousand for the championship. That's the same

0:30:03.480 --> 0:30:06.080
<v Speaker 3>as the Hawks and the Lakers. That seems crazy to me.

0:30:06.120 --> 0:30:09.240
<v Speaker 3>They're behind the Magic odds wise, that seems unusual to me.

0:30:09.360 --> 0:30:12.960
<v Speaker 3>But Halliburton's coming off in an achilles tear. He also

0:30:13.040 --> 0:30:16.520
<v Speaker 3>had to deal with shingles during his recovery. They added

0:30:16.640 --> 0:30:20.040
<v Speaker 3>zobots in for Miles Turner. That changes the speed of

0:30:20.080 --> 0:30:21.760
<v Speaker 3>the team, and the speed of the team was kind

0:30:21.760 --> 0:30:24.400
<v Speaker 3>of like the superpower for the Pacers when they made

0:30:24.440 --> 0:30:27.360
<v Speaker 3>it to the finals. So I have to include them

0:30:27.440 --> 0:30:30.360
<v Speaker 3>in my long list, which like I said it's seven teams.

0:30:30.400 --> 0:30:31.600
<v Speaker 1>Realistically it's only two.

0:30:31.560 --> 0:30:34.200
<v Speaker 3>Teams, but I could It wouldn't shock me if the

0:30:34.240 --> 0:30:35.520
<v Speaker 3>Pacers somehow pulled it off.

0:30:35.640 --> 0:30:36.440
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, that's a good call.

0:30:36.600 --> 0:30:39.719
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the East is so fun because I guess in

0:30:39.760 --> 0:30:41.640
<v Speaker 2>part it's because we just saw the Knicks win fifty

0:30:41.640 --> 0:30:43.160
<v Speaker 2>three games and get there. There's just a lot of

0:30:43.200 --> 0:30:46.320
<v Speaker 2>teams that you could throw in there. Obviously, Philly is

0:30:46.360 --> 0:30:49.200
<v Speaker 2>the one beside the Knicks that you think. I am

0:30:49.240 --> 0:30:52.240
<v Speaker 2>concerned about Philly's defense though. It's gotta be a thing

0:30:52.920 --> 0:30:57.440
<v Speaker 2>because these eight champs that we have just seen, seven

0:30:57.480 --> 0:30:59.920
<v Speaker 2>of the eight have been top ten defenses. Now, maybe

0:31:00.000 --> 0:31:03.400
<v Speaker 2>Philly can replicate what the Denver Nuggets did in twenty

0:31:03.440 --> 0:31:06.480
<v Speaker 2>three and get there as a non top ten defense

0:31:06.520 --> 0:31:09.640
<v Speaker 2>and just do it with all offense. Maybe Jalen Maxi,

0:31:09.960 --> 0:31:12.000
<v Speaker 2>Lebron and them beat are good enough for that. But

0:31:12.040 --> 0:31:15.920
<v Speaker 2>that is somewhat of a concern. The answer is the Spurs. Yeah,

0:31:16.160 --> 0:31:17.080
<v Speaker 2>simple as that.

0:31:17.000 --> 0:31:20.239
<v Speaker 1>They most likely to make it nine in a row.

0:31:20.280 --> 0:31:20.920
<v Speaker 1>Would do the Spurs.

0:31:20.960 --> 0:31:23.600
<v Speaker 2>They got better and they led the NBA Finals seventy

0:31:23.600 --> 0:31:26.000
<v Speaker 2>five percent of the minutes. They got better because they

0:31:26.040 --> 0:31:28.800
<v Speaker 2>got Tobias Harris and Victor wee. Binyama is a year older,

0:31:29.040 --> 0:31:31.040
<v Speaker 2>so you know they didn't change.

0:31:31.280 --> 0:31:32.400
<v Speaker 6>That's got to be the favorite.

0:31:32.480 --> 0:31:35.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, the Pacers just to go back to them. FanDuel

0:31:35.480 --> 0:31:37.840
<v Speaker 1>has their over under at forty three and a half wins.

0:31:38.440 --> 0:31:41.240
<v Speaker 1>So they even seem like confused of like where are

0:31:41.240 --> 0:31:43.760
<v Speaker 1>we putting this team? Are they a part of the

0:31:43.840 --> 0:31:47.320
<v Speaker 1>like elite Eastern Conference teams or are they more of

0:31:47.360 --> 0:31:50.360
<v Speaker 1>a five hundred like team, which is where they have them. Yeah,

0:31:50.960 --> 0:31:52.080
<v Speaker 1>you'd be a tough one, I think.

0:31:52.480 --> 0:31:55.600
<v Speaker 2>And it's hard not to throw in a couple teams

0:31:55.600 --> 0:31:58.080
<v Speaker 2>because it's fun to be optimistic here in the summer.

0:31:58.080 --> 0:32:00.640
<v Speaker 2>But I'll throw it in the Nuggets because Peyton Watson

0:32:00.720 --> 0:32:02.560
<v Speaker 2>is gaining gaining weight. Is he going to be on

0:32:02.600 --> 0:32:04.120
<v Speaker 2>that team? I don't know, But he threw up a

0:32:04.120 --> 0:32:07.200
<v Speaker 2>photo of him on the scale at two twenty when

0:32:07.200 --> 0:32:09.360
<v Speaker 2>he was a two hundred guy last year, and he

0:32:09.400 --> 0:32:11.840
<v Speaker 2>says instead he's getting big. I don't know who he's

0:32:11.880 --> 0:32:14.120
<v Speaker 2>going to play for. But then Nugets our No's.

0:32:14.040 --> 0:32:17.560
<v Speaker 1>Title contender maybe but or not, but not in this

0:32:18.120 --> 0:32:19.800
<v Speaker 1>the pair they're not they'renety one one.

0:32:19.840 --> 0:32:21.320
<v Speaker 6>They're not. Yeah, they're not. They're not.

0:32:21.400 --> 0:32:22.560
<v Speaker 2>I just had to get them in there, and I

0:32:22.560 --> 0:32:24.720
<v Speaker 2>had to get that Peyton Watson photo in there because

0:32:24.760 --> 0:32:29.720
<v Speaker 2>it's I know, the restricted free agents go on for

0:32:29.760 --> 0:32:33.320
<v Speaker 2>a while here in the summer, but that one's an

0:32:33.440 --> 0:32:35.960
<v Speaker 2>really interesting one to me, aside from you know, the

0:32:36.040 --> 0:32:38.080
<v Speaker 2>Jaalen Duran one that we're waiting for and the Benedict

0:32:38.120 --> 0:32:39.520
<v Speaker 2>matherin Payton Watson is interesting.

0:32:40.800 --> 0:32:41.840
<v Speaker 6>Sorry, go ahead, no going.

0:32:41.760 --> 0:32:43.760
<v Speaker 1>No, no, I was my list to keep is a little

0:32:43.760 --> 0:32:45.960
<v Speaker 1>shorter than Trays. I mean, you really did say yours

0:32:46.000 --> 0:32:47.960
<v Speaker 1>is too, and I hear you. I have four teams.

0:32:47.960 --> 0:32:50.480
<v Speaker 1>I think it's only the potential to like extend the streak,

0:32:50.520 --> 0:32:52.880
<v Speaker 1>make it nine different champions over nine seasons. It's Spurs

0:32:53.480 --> 0:32:55.640
<v Speaker 1>seventy six ers. Of course is the huge like wow,

0:32:55.840 --> 0:32:58.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean they could win a title, or you could

0:32:58.160 --> 0:32:59.920
<v Speaker 1>also convince me they're like in the play and sort

0:32:59.960 --> 0:33:03.840
<v Speaker 1>of area if everybody gets injured. Timberwolves, and I think

0:33:04.200 --> 0:33:06.400
<v Speaker 1>I have the Rockets there just because the Rockets were

0:33:06.440 --> 0:33:08.160
<v Speaker 1>a good team last year. They were top ten on

0:33:08.200 --> 0:33:11.000
<v Speaker 1>both sides of the ball. Now you add Fred van Vliet,

0:33:11.040 --> 0:33:14.160
<v Speaker 1>who missed the entire season back to try and orchestrate

0:33:14.200 --> 0:33:16.240
<v Speaker 1>that things. Now Durant missed a bunch of games in

0:33:16.240 --> 0:33:17.960
<v Speaker 1>the playoffs. Two part of the reason why they lost

0:33:17.960 --> 0:33:19.520
<v Speaker 1>I think in six there to the Lakers, and they

0:33:19.560 --> 0:33:22.440
<v Speaker 1>also botch some games at the end. They just need

0:33:22.440 --> 0:33:25.160
<v Speaker 1>to be better in clutch time. They were like a

0:33:25.240 --> 0:33:27.640
<v Speaker 1>sub five hundred team in games that were close. I

0:33:27.640 --> 0:33:28.760
<v Speaker 1>think a big part of it is just not having

0:33:28.840 --> 0:33:31.720
<v Speaker 1>Van Vliet out there. So yeah, if that flips a

0:33:31.720 --> 0:33:34.280
<v Speaker 1>little bit, why not could they not see themselves as

0:33:34.320 --> 0:33:35.880
<v Speaker 1>one of the better teams in the Western Conference and

0:33:35.920 --> 0:33:37.600
<v Speaker 1>things make their right right, they can maybe get there,

0:33:37.640 --> 0:33:39.720
<v Speaker 1>but you gotta go through the spurs and the thunder

0:33:39.800 --> 0:33:42.560
<v Speaker 1>is the problem. So maybe it's wiser to have a

0:33:42.600 --> 0:33:44.760
<v Speaker 1>Calvs or Epistons because you don't have to see them

0:33:44.840 --> 0:33:50.880
<v Speaker 1>until the finals. Next question. In Star Wars fandom and JAD,

0:33:51.200 --> 0:33:53.040
<v Speaker 1>I might need your help here, there's a term called

0:33:53.680 --> 0:33:58.480
<v Speaker 1>gloop shitdow. Yeah you got it, okay, glop shitdow. It's

0:33:58.520 --> 0:34:01.640
<v Speaker 1>basically mocking how some Star Wars fans will become big

0:34:01.680 --> 0:34:04.719
<v Speaker 1>fans of random minor characters in the series, and how

0:34:04.760 --> 0:34:08.360
<v Speaker 1>the characters have weird names. Sometimes. Who is your group

0:34:08.400 --> 0:34:11.879
<v Speaker 1>shadow NBA player? In other words, who's an obscure NBA

0:34:11.920 --> 0:34:16.680
<v Speaker 1>player that you were randomly huge fans of minus Mirza Taledovich. Wow,

0:34:16.800 --> 0:34:18.279
<v Speaker 1>that's a name. I had not thought about it in

0:34:18.280 --> 0:34:20.439
<v Speaker 1>a long time. That's from Adam Parsons nineteen forty seven,

0:34:20.480 --> 0:34:23.640
<v Speaker 1>by way of YouTube. Before we get into the NBA angle,

0:34:23.719 --> 0:34:27.360
<v Speaker 1>do you have any JD Group Shadows, Star Wars characters.

0:34:27.760 --> 0:34:32.600
<v Speaker 5>Sure, there's a give me one Quadronero, the Podracer, dude,

0:34:32.880 --> 0:34:37.000
<v Speaker 5>there's there's a lot of of course. Oh yeah, I

0:34:37.040 --> 0:34:41.040
<v Speaker 5>know that one, the winged sort of what is he like?

0:34:41.080 --> 0:34:44.920
<v Speaker 5>A tech dealer on tattooing, A bit of a scumbag.

0:34:46.480 --> 0:34:48.040
<v Speaker 1>He's the guy that has Anakin.

0:34:48.400 --> 0:34:54.680
<v Speaker 4>Yeah he owns yeah, yeah, lazy.

0:34:54.520 --> 0:35:02.880
<v Speaker 1>Boys something like that. Okay, So NBA gloops, Cheetos, obscure

0:35:02.920 --> 0:35:05.640
<v Speaker 1>NBA players that you loved or continue to love. They

0:35:05.680 --> 0:35:07.440
<v Speaker 1>could be current for all week here.

0:35:07.560 --> 0:35:12.000
<v Speaker 2>You know what's obscure. You chose to stay awake during

0:35:12.040 --> 0:35:15.360
<v Speaker 2>a surgery. That's obscure. And that's what former raptor Jorge

0:35:15.480 --> 0:35:20.080
<v Speaker 2>Garbajosa did. Do you remember when he broke his leg? Yeah, yeah,

0:35:20.200 --> 0:35:22.760
<v Speaker 2>he broke his leg and he decided I'm not getting

0:35:22.800 --> 0:35:26.719
<v Speaker 2>general anesthesia. I'm literally going to stay awake. He got

0:35:26.880 --> 0:35:30.880
<v Speaker 2>spinal anesthetic. Instead, and he watched himself get a displaced

0:35:30.960 --> 0:35:34.640
<v Speaker 2>left ankle, joined fixed prepair a torn ligament, and pinned

0:35:34.640 --> 0:35:35.920
<v Speaker 2>a fractured fibula.

0:35:36.040 --> 0:35:39.279
<v Speaker 6>Now that's obscure. That's a man he'll always love.

0:35:39.400 --> 0:35:41.200
<v Speaker 2>They would have won that playoff series against the New

0:35:41.280 --> 0:35:43.280
<v Speaker 2>Jersey Nets if he was there anyway, that doesn't matter,

0:35:43.640 --> 0:35:48.160
<v Speaker 2>but uh yeah, I always loved my Jorge Garbajosa, always, always,

0:35:48.200 --> 0:35:49.520
<v Speaker 2>always yeah.

0:35:49.560 --> 0:35:51.239
<v Speaker 3>I like a question like this, and then I like

0:35:51.280 --> 0:35:54.040
<v Speaker 3>when I go to look at Basketball Reference and the

0:35:54.120 --> 0:35:56.120
<v Speaker 3>player I want to pick is one of the head

0:35:56.160 --> 0:35:59.680
<v Speaker 3>shots up there, and it was just WHOA WHOA Carrie Kittles, Oh,

0:35:59.760 --> 0:36:03.840
<v Speaker 3>Carrie carry Kittles. I think Danielle's a big carry Kittles.

0:36:03.840 --> 0:36:07.799
<v Speaker 3>Fans shouldn't be one sock up, one sock down. That's

0:36:07.800 --> 0:36:10.600
<v Speaker 3>how I learned about him playing at Villanova. Had cool shorts,

0:36:10.719 --> 0:36:14.000
<v Speaker 3>tiny head, cool shaped body. I was a guy that

0:36:14.040 --> 0:36:16.200
<v Speaker 3>wanted to wear tall socks as well. So I just

0:36:16.239 --> 0:36:18.560
<v Speaker 3>started liking carry Kittles. And he was just like, he's

0:36:18.560 --> 0:36:21.319
<v Speaker 3>just a fine player. Yeah, you're like fifteen points per game.

0:36:21.560 --> 0:36:22.960
<v Speaker 3>He can make an open three pointer.

0:36:23.120 --> 0:36:23.880
<v Speaker 1>He was fast.

0:36:24.160 --> 0:36:27.000
<v Speaker 3>He was part of like the famous nineteen ninety six draft,

0:36:27.280 --> 0:36:30.080
<v Speaker 3>But did carry Kittles get any accolades in his career. No,

0:36:30.160 --> 0:36:32.160
<v Speaker 3>he finished fifth and Rookie of the Year voting pretty

0:36:32.160 --> 0:36:32.920
<v Speaker 3>good for that season.

0:36:33.280 --> 0:36:35.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and he was just a dude. But Carrie Kittles

0:36:35.640 --> 0:36:36.160
<v Speaker 1>cool name.

0:36:36.280 --> 0:36:36.520
<v Speaker 7>Cool.

0:36:36.520 --> 0:36:38.759
<v Speaker 1>Look, I was gonna say he's helped out by as

0:36:39.120 --> 0:36:42.640
<v Speaker 1>like an awesome name. Yes, Carrie Kittles cariatname.

0:36:43.200 --> 0:36:45.640
<v Speaker 2>So he was one sock up in college and then

0:36:45.640 --> 0:36:47.319
<v Speaker 2>had to pull them both up first.

0:36:47.400 --> 0:36:49.320
<v Speaker 1>They must have not allowed it in the NBA.

0:36:49.400 --> 0:36:51.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, he went all the way to the knees

0:36:51.719 --> 0:36:53.560
<v Speaker 2>essentially with both of them.

0:36:54.239 --> 0:36:59.239
<v Speaker 1>Good pick a long time podcast listeners or YouTube viewers know,

0:36:59.400 --> 0:37:02.320
<v Speaker 1>Jason Max was my guy who was a big believer

0:37:02.800 --> 0:37:05.720
<v Speaker 1>in Jason Max seal a little too much. Leonard Miller

0:37:05.760 --> 0:37:08.239
<v Speaker 1>is the future. Everybody knows that. But I'll give you

0:37:08.239 --> 0:37:10.319
<v Speaker 1>another one that I don't talk about a lot. Uh

0:37:10.480 --> 0:37:14.920
<v Speaker 1>Linis Klasa Remember him played for the Raptors, played for

0:37:14.960 --> 0:37:20.960
<v Speaker 1>the Nuggets. Lithuanian. Was he a shooter? They say he was,

0:37:21.040 --> 0:37:23.400
<v Speaker 1>but he wasn't that great a shoot. But he was

0:37:23.440 --> 0:37:27.480
<v Speaker 1>European exactly, But like he shot thirty three percent from

0:37:27.520 --> 0:37:29.920
<v Speaker 1>three his entire career. He thought he was a lot

0:37:29.960 --> 0:37:31.879
<v Speaker 1>better than that. But uh, yeah, he was a big

0:37:31.920 --> 0:37:33.520
<v Speaker 1>fan and he had the thing like he would have

0:37:33.560 --> 0:37:36.480
<v Speaker 1>like big games in like nationally televised games, so maybe

0:37:36.520 --> 0:37:38.480
<v Speaker 1>that was a part of his lore. I was like, oh,

0:37:38.480 --> 0:37:39.920
<v Speaker 1>you only saw if you only saw him in these

0:37:39.920 --> 0:37:42.719
<v Speaker 1>big games, like this guy's awesome, but then not all

0:37:42.760 --> 0:37:44.239
<v Speaker 1>that great for the rest of it. But yeah, he

0:37:44.239 --> 0:37:46.760
<v Speaker 1>always been up playing for two teams only Nuggets and Raptors.

0:37:46.880 --> 0:37:47.120
<v Speaker 6>Wow.

0:37:47.160 --> 0:37:49.560
<v Speaker 1>Really Yeah, must have had a shorter career than them. Yeah,

0:37:49.600 --> 0:37:53.120
<v Speaker 1>he only played seven NBA seasons because he after Denver,

0:37:53.239 --> 0:37:55.480
<v Speaker 1>he left. See. I think he must played overseas for

0:37:55.520 --> 0:37:56.760
<v Speaker 1>a you and then he came back to the Raptors

0:37:57.040 --> 0:38:00.200
<v Speaker 1>for three years. That's it. And the number forty three

0:38:00.360 --> 0:38:03.480
<v Speaker 1>is that right? Think forty three and then eleven on

0:38:03.520 --> 0:38:05.880
<v Speaker 1>the Raps. That's an obscure number that I like. Yeah,

0:38:05.920 --> 0:38:08.080
<v Speaker 1>forty three. I think it's just a cool looking number.

0:38:07.800 --> 0:38:11.440
<v Speaker 3>For some reason with that, so there you go. He

0:38:11.560 --> 0:38:15.160
<v Speaker 3>consider Andre Drummond an obscure NBA player. Not really, I

0:38:15.200 --> 0:38:15.840
<v Speaker 3>mean neither.

0:38:15.640 --> 0:38:19.240
<v Speaker 1>But I like him. It's just funny to watch.

0:38:20.160 --> 0:38:22.439
<v Speaker 3>He looks like he could roll around, like he would

0:38:22.440 --> 0:38:25.840
<v Speaker 3>be pleasant just rolling around rather than walking and jumping.

0:38:26.080 --> 0:38:32.280
<v Speaker 1>He's like Sonic the Hedgehog kind of alright, great question,

0:38:32.440 --> 0:38:36.000
<v Speaker 1>great question there, You'll see you the next one. Howdy

0:38:36.080 --> 0:38:37.840
<v Speaker 1>dooty no dung garuskis.

0:38:38.120 --> 0:38:40.800
<v Speaker 2>On a recent classic podcast, the Mount Rushmore of Raptors

0:38:40.840 --> 0:38:44.320
<v Speaker 2>was discussed. It was interesting to consider how, despite only

0:38:44.360 --> 0:38:47.719
<v Speaker 2>playing one season for them, Kawhi already qualifies as one

0:38:47.719 --> 0:38:50.080
<v Speaker 2>of the best four best Raptors of all time. It

0:38:50.120 --> 0:38:54.480
<v Speaker 2>had me thinking about what other Mount Rushmore's contained head scratchers.

0:38:54.960 --> 0:38:57.359
<v Speaker 2>Take My Brooklyn nets Jason Kidd and Vince Carter are

0:38:57.360 --> 0:39:00.759
<v Speaker 2>no brainers. But then it gets tricky. Perhaps Julius who

0:39:00.800 --> 0:39:03.239
<v Speaker 2>only played for the franchise while in the ABA, and

0:39:03.280 --> 0:39:05.799
<v Speaker 2>maybe brook Lopez, who is the current franchise leader in

0:39:05.840 --> 0:39:08.279
<v Speaker 2>total points and total blocks. What do you guys think

0:39:08.920 --> 0:39:11.440
<v Speaker 2>any other strange Mount Rushmore is out there? That's from

0:39:11.560 --> 0:39:13.520
<v Speaker 2>John in South Jersey.

0:39:14.040 --> 0:39:16.200
<v Speaker 1>That's a good question. I would say you're going to

0:39:16.200 --> 0:39:18.040
<v Speaker 1>start with the nets there, like it is a bit

0:39:18.080 --> 0:39:19.799
<v Speaker 1>of a weird one when you think about it. I mean,

0:39:19.800 --> 0:39:23.120
<v Speaker 1>I guess I had doctor j Yes, yeah, like immediately there,

0:39:23.200 --> 0:39:25.040
<v Speaker 1>whether he played for the AB or not.

0:39:25.080 --> 0:39:27.640
<v Speaker 2>After I look through it, there's no question. I think

0:39:27.680 --> 0:39:33.400
<v Speaker 2>the question is Brook or Buck Buck Williams Buck Williams Brook. Yes,

0:39:34.080 --> 0:39:35.680
<v Speaker 2>I mean he was an All Star as a rookie

0:39:35.719 --> 0:39:37.040
<v Speaker 2>with the Nets when he won Rookie of the Year.

0:39:37.320 --> 0:39:40.040
<v Speaker 2>That's rare, a rookie All Star then three time All

0:39:40.040 --> 0:39:44.560
<v Speaker 2>Star with the Nets versus Brook just a one time Yeah,

0:39:44.760 --> 0:39:48.200
<v Speaker 2>you know, non memorable eras either way for both of

0:39:48.239 --> 0:39:51.560
<v Speaker 2>those players. Fortunately, you know Brook played in the Azod.

0:39:51.920 --> 0:39:53.640
<v Speaker 2>That's the kind of the thing that I remember is

0:39:53.680 --> 0:39:58.560
<v Speaker 2>when they oh god, what a ship that place was.

0:39:59.480 --> 0:40:00.320
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, god.

0:40:02.320 --> 0:40:02.560
<v Speaker 2>Bad.

0:40:02.640 --> 0:40:04.759
<v Speaker 1>I went to a Raptor's Nets playoff game. I drove

0:40:04.800 --> 0:40:07.360
<v Speaker 1>down there. Yeah, I was in the middle of nowhere,

0:40:07.400 --> 0:40:08.120
<v Speaker 1>I remember too.

0:40:08.239 --> 0:40:10.080
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, Oh did you ever go to the is on no.

0:40:11.800 --> 0:40:11.960
<v Speaker 2>Here?

0:40:12.080 --> 0:40:15.640
<v Speaker 1>He felt like it was like a the Stratford Colisseum.

0:40:15.680 --> 0:40:18.759
<v Speaker 1>To me, it was like a little bit bigger. It's

0:40:18.920 --> 0:40:20.719
<v Speaker 1>like just a hockey rink in my hometown.

0:40:20.920 --> 0:40:23.960
<v Speaker 2>It's the vibe of to me, if only Jorge played

0:40:23.960 --> 0:40:26.279
<v Speaker 2>that series, they would have wanted. Oh yes, he would

0:40:26.280 --> 0:40:27.200
<v Speaker 2>have been playing in the Eyes.

0:40:27.280 --> 0:40:28.799
<v Speaker 6>Odd what a name.

0:40:29.480 --> 0:40:31.359
<v Speaker 1>I have another strange one. I want to hear your

0:40:31.360 --> 0:40:34.800
<v Speaker 1>guys thoughts on. I think the Wizard's Mount Rushmore is

0:40:34.800 --> 0:40:39.280
<v Speaker 1>a weird one because here's why, Like it's generally old guys.

0:40:39.600 --> 0:40:41.319
<v Speaker 1>I think it's sort of like a no brainer two

0:40:41.440 --> 0:40:45.759
<v Speaker 1>or three guys. It's West Unseldes, It's Elvin Hayes, It's

0:40:45.800 --> 0:40:50.319
<v Speaker 1>potentially Walt Bellamy, he's more of Baltimore days, but I

0:40:50.320 --> 0:40:52.160
<v Speaker 1>think he's probably there. But then it's like, who's the

0:40:52.160 --> 0:40:55.800
<v Speaker 1>fourth guy? Is it Bradley Beal? Is it John Wall?

0:40:56.600 --> 0:40:58.080
<v Speaker 1>Is it Anton Jamison?

0:40:59.360 --> 0:40:59.600
<v Speaker 6>Gil?

0:41:00.000 --> 0:41:03.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean, none of those are You're like, yeah, guaranteed,

0:41:03.160 --> 0:41:05.239
<v Speaker 1>Like I think it's a debate between those sort of

0:41:05.239 --> 0:41:08.560
<v Speaker 1>four probably the three guards. I would take Anton jameson. Yeah,

0:41:08.800 --> 0:41:10.960
<v Speaker 1>I would probably pick would you?

0:41:11.040 --> 0:41:11.239
<v Speaker 7>Yeah?

0:41:11.440 --> 0:41:13.759
<v Speaker 1>Those I know, I mean you can't put Arenas on there.

0:41:13.880 --> 0:41:16.880
<v Speaker 3>Unfortunately for the way it ended, and it was a

0:41:16.960 --> 0:41:18.839
<v Speaker 3>John Wall team before it was a Bradley deal team.

0:41:18.920 --> 0:41:21.279
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, yeah, it's Wall from those guys.

0:41:21.280 --> 0:41:24.080
<v Speaker 1>I agree, that's that's a tough one. Yeah, that's just

0:41:24.080 --> 0:41:26.000
<v Speaker 1>a weird one to me. Any other ones.

0:41:26.600 --> 0:41:28.960
<v Speaker 3>I think that there's actually a lot, Like the Pacers

0:41:29.000 --> 0:41:32.120
<v Speaker 3>have two ABA guys on theirs, George mckinnis and Mel Daniels.

0:41:32.200 --> 0:41:35.719
<v Speaker 3>For sure, they're making it. Reggie Miller obviously is on there.

0:41:35.760 --> 0:41:38.760
<v Speaker 3>Mount Rushmore. But then who's the fourth guy, Paul George,

0:41:38.840 --> 0:41:42.000
<v Speaker 3>Danny Granger, Germaine, O'Neil Tyrese Haliburt and Rick Smith's they

0:41:42.040 --> 0:41:44.040
<v Speaker 3>all have chances to make it.

0:41:44.680 --> 0:41:45.600
<v Speaker 1>Trey Young might be.

0:41:45.520 --> 0:41:50.120
<v Speaker 3>On the Hawks, Mount Rushmore, whoa Bob Pettitt, it's Dominique Wilkins. Ye,

0:41:50.320 --> 0:41:54.320
<v Speaker 3>it's the kembe Matamba. Then you're probably getting an argument

0:41:54.320 --> 0:41:57.080
<v Speaker 3>for Lou Hudson. But I ain't making a Lou Hudson.

0:41:57.320 --> 0:41:58.960
<v Speaker 3>I don't know what the argument there, you know what

0:41:59.000 --> 0:42:03.160
<v Speaker 3>I'm saying, hmm. Could And then I think maybe the

0:42:03.200 --> 0:42:05.279
<v Speaker 3>weirdest is the Grizzlies.

0:42:05.640 --> 0:42:06.800
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, that's a really weird.

0:42:06.640 --> 0:42:09.120
<v Speaker 1>Because is it four guys from the Grit and Grind team?

0:42:09.400 --> 0:42:11.760
<v Speaker 1>Is it comedy? Gasol Randolph and Tony Allen?

0:42:12.600 --> 0:42:15.000
<v Speaker 6>Or you got to throw in a job taking any of.

0:42:14.920 --> 0:42:17.719
<v Speaker 3>Those guys off for John A. Ramp You probably thought

0:42:17.760 --> 0:42:20.440
<v Speaker 3>you were, Yeah, Jaron Jackson Junior.

0:42:20.280 --> 0:42:23.440
<v Speaker 4>Maybe right?

0:42:23.520 --> 0:42:27.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, just four fifths of the starting no Vancouver guys

0:42:27.120 --> 0:42:28.800
<v Speaker 1>cracking it. No big country.

0:42:29.960 --> 0:42:31.080
<v Speaker 6>Was damn good, doesn't matter.

0:42:32.760 --> 0:42:38.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I would contemplate putting Gasol on there. Marco, Yeah,

0:42:38.920 --> 0:42:42.319
<v Speaker 2>each other, both of them. How long was Grizzly to

0:42:42.360 --> 0:42:47.440
<v Speaker 2>double check. Uh sick, I don't know, I got I

0:42:47.440 --> 0:42:48.040
<v Speaker 2>gotta check that.

0:42:48.080 --> 0:42:49.560
<v Speaker 1>I didn't think it was even that long. I gotta

0:42:49.640 --> 0:42:49.960
<v Speaker 1>check that.

0:42:50.160 --> 0:42:54.600
<v Speaker 6>I gotta check that it's a five and five and

0:42:54.640 --> 0:42:54.879
<v Speaker 6>a half.

0:42:59.040 --> 0:43:01.120
<v Speaker 1>That's a fun one. Do you have any other strange ones?

0:43:01.560 --> 0:43:04.400
<v Speaker 2>I mean, going to the top of the Miami Heat,

0:43:05.000 --> 0:43:09.000
<v Speaker 2>alter you have to put I'm definitely not Lebron and

0:43:09.040 --> 0:43:12.080
<v Speaker 2>Wade of course. Then I think there's a debate for

0:43:12.080 --> 0:43:15.000
<v Speaker 2>the last two spots. It's I think you'd put Alonso

0:43:15.120 --> 0:43:19.040
<v Speaker 2>Morning on there. Okay, then it's it's Bosh or Jimmy.

0:43:18.760 --> 0:43:19.880
<v Speaker 1>Butler, Tim Hardaway.

0:43:20.800 --> 0:43:25.520
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, yes, it's tired.

0:43:25.640 --> 0:43:28.279
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean it's a good bit. Yeah, it's a

0:43:28.280 --> 0:43:28.760
<v Speaker 1>good debate.

0:43:28.880 --> 0:43:29.600
<v Speaker 6>It's a good debate.

0:43:30.600 --> 0:43:34.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Like Jimmy was the guy who took him two

0:43:34.200 --> 0:43:39.399
<v Speaker 2>finals long enough. I mean, definitely more playoff success than

0:43:39.400 --> 0:43:42.839
<v Speaker 2>Tim Hardaway, even though they threw up Timmy's jersey up there.

0:43:42.880 --> 0:43:46.600
<v Speaker 2>And Chris Bosh, you know, a very good player, two NBA,

0:43:46.719 --> 0:43:48.120
<v Speaker 2>two time NBA champions.

0:43:47.800 --> 0:43:50.840
<v Speaker 3>So you don't want to throw Ronnie Cyclic on there.

0:43:50.840 --> 0:43:54.680
<v Speaker 3>Sherman Douglas and there are guys I think of his

0:43:54.760 --> 0:43:55.600
<v Speaker 3>heat in the nineties.

0:43:55.840 --> 0:43:58.680
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, who else? Bimbo Coles. Bimbo Coles.

0:43:58.719 --> 0:44:03.719
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely Glenn Rice, like not really Glenn Rice maybe is

0:44:03.760 --> 0:44:04.840
<v Speaker 3>on the Hornets Mount rushmore.

0:44:04.920 --> 0:44:06.240
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I think of it more definitely.

0:44:06.680 --> 0:44:08.040
<v Speaker 1>I think of it was the Hornet first for sure.

0:44:08.600 --> 0:44:11.520
<v Speaker 1>All right, great question. Next one here, yo yo, yo, boys,

0:44:11.680 --> 0:44:15.280
<v Speaker 1>a Nike Wemby one signature shoe is officially on the horizon,

0:44:15.320 --> 0:44:17.600
<v Speaker 1>and it appears as though he has a new alien logo.

0:44:17.920 --> 0:44:19.680
<v Speaker 1>What do you all think? Thumbs up or thumbs down

0:44:19.719 --> 0:44:23.520
<v Speaker 1>for the stylized V and W. That's from William from

0:44:23.560 --> 0:44:27.080
<v Speaker 1>the Scooshe here's a look for everybody on YouTube. We're

0:44:27.120 --> 0:44:30.600
<v Speaker 1>showing you, uh screen grab and a nice enhancer from

0:44:30.680 --> 0:44:34.440
<v Speaker 1>JD on the new What we think at least Wemby

0:44:35.080 --> 0:44:37.360
<v Speaker 1>logo here with Nike because he's got a signature shoe

0:44:37.400 --> 0:44:40.880
<v Speaker 1>coming tk. I mean you see the V in the W,

0:44:41.160 --> 0:44:43.640
<v Speaker 1>no doubt, no doubt. Also, what else do you see?

0:44:44.560 --> 0:44:49.680
<v Speaker 3>Scorpion get over here? To me, it does not look

0:44:49.760 --> 0:44:52.040
<v Speaker 3>like an alien. It looks more like I Mortal Kombat.

0:44:52.080 --> 0:44:54.759
<v Speaker 1>It looks nothing like an alien to me. Yeah, I mean,

0:44:55.000 --> 0:44:56.959
<v Speaker 1>you're you're going for the negative space of the eyes.

0:44:57.680 --> 0:45:00.839
<v Speaker 1>I don't hate it. I don't think it's great. Yeah,

0:45:01.680 --> 0:45:04.160
<v Speaker 1>having to get the v W it means that they

0:45:04.200 --> 0:45:06.960
<v Speaker 1>had to do something along the Why do we have

0:45:07.080 --> 0:45:10.160
<v Speaker 1>to do that? Why do your initial initials must have

0:45:10.480 --> 0:45:14.280
<v Speaker 1>to be in your look? Like? What do the guys

0:45:14.320 --> 0:45:17.040
<v Speaker 1>name the alien? They're like, I like this the older

0:45:17.120 --> 0:45:18.400
<v Speaker 1>one more.

0:45:17.880 --> 0:45:22.560
<v Speaker 2>Anyway, is there another dimension idea there?

0:45:22.640 --> 0:45:24.480
<v Speaker 6>Like you're entering a portal kind of.

0:45:24.440 --> 0:45:29.000
<v Speaker 8>Oh yeah, the pulsar of it all there I see

0:45:29.080 --> 0:45:33.040
<v Speaker 8>like a like a like a cat's face too, like right,

0:45:33.680 --> 0:45:35.480
<v Speaker 8>like the nose in the mouth of a cat.

0:45:36.840 --> 0:45:38.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean what you're saying, the V is kind of

0:45:38.640 --> 0:45:41.399
<v Speaker 1>the nose. I'm saying the v's the nose. And then

0:45:41.480 --> 0:45:43.799
<v Speaker 1>the more the bottom part is more of the cat's mouth.

0:45:43.920 --> 0:45:44.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:45:44.719 --> 0:45:46.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And now they think about it. I have always

0:45:46.960 --> 0:45:50.680
<v Speaker 1>said that if aliens are here, they're probably cats.

0:45:50.719 --> 0:45:51.160
<v Speaker 3>So true.

0:45:51.239 --> 0:45:55.080
<v Speaker 1>Maybe they're thinking ahead here, what do you think the

0:45:55.080 --> 0:45:55.720
<v Speaker 1>task overall?

0:45:56.239 --> 0:45:58.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm thinking that might be a banana hammock on the

0:45:58.480 --> 0:46:00.440
<v Speaker 2>bottom there you're saying the cat's mouth. That kind of

0:46:00.480 --> 0:46:03.399
<v Speaker 2>looks like tidy whities or banana hammock. However you look

0:46:03.400 --> 0:46:05.560
<v Speaker 2>at it, Maybe it's the off season and maybe we

0:46:05.600 --> 0:46:09.719
<v Speaker 2>talk about uh, male Genitalia and.

0:46:10.560 --> 0:46:13.840
<v Speaker 1>A little bit six.

0:46:14.239 --> 0:46:17.240
<v Speaker 2>Does this happen every year? And no dunks, the slash,

0:46:17.239 --> 0:46:19.840
<v Speaker 2>the start slash, the basketball Jones. We talk more about

0:46:20.280 --> 0:46:22.480
<v Speaker 2>male junk in the off season. I don't know, it

0:46:22.520 --> 0:46:24.640
<v Speaker 2>looks like so true that it looks.

0:46:24.360 --> 0:46:27.759
<v Speaker 1>Like yeah, or you love that or you hate that

0:46:27.920 --> 0:46:29.080
<v Speaker 1>or different.

0:46:29.239 --> 0:46:31.719
<v Speaker 2>I think this is this is I don't know. I

0:46:31.760 --> 0:46:33.440
<v Speaker 2>think it will be totally different on a shoe.

0:46:33.600 --> 0:46:35.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, this will be on the tongue or at the

0:46:36.000 --> 0:46:36.839
<v Speaker 1>back maybe or something.

0:46:36.920 --> 0:46:37.040
<v Speaker 7>Yah.

0:46:37.080 --> 0:46:40.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah yeah, and you won't have all this stuff around it,

0:46:40.920 --> 0:46:42.920
<v Speaker 2>you know, like you won't have you won't have this

0:46:43.080 --> 0:46:47.480
<v Speaker 2>purple space sky thing happening.

0:46:47.920 --> 0:46:50.880
<v Speaker 1>You don't know, shoes will be that. I am intrigued

0:46:50.880 --> 0:46:53.000
<v Speaker 1>to see if Wemby, as a big guy can move shoes.

0:46:53.760 --> 0:46:56.520
<v Speaker 1>This will be a you know, it's he's a different

0:46:56.520 --> 0:46:59.880
<v Speaker 1>type of big guy. So yeah, previously it's tough for

0:46:59.920 --> 0:47:04.200
<v Speaker 1>you your shacks and dwights and who for whom else

0:47:04.200 --> 0:47:05.920
<v Speaker 1>am I forgetting when it comes to big, big guys,

0:47:05.920 --> 0:47:08.879
<v Speaker 1>like it's tough for them to move product like this. Yeah,

0:47:08.960 --> 0:47:10.719
<v Speaker 1>no big guys. But Web seemed like he could be

0:47:10.760 --> 0:47:13.839
<v Speaker 1>the anomaly. Yeah, I guess depends on how the shoe looks.

0:47:13.960 --> 0:47:17.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we'll see he wore like, uh, he wore like

0:47:17.120 --> 0:47:19.040
<v Speaker 3>a mid cut shoe his past two years.

0:47:19.719 --> 0:47:23.719
<v Speaker 1>Most people don't anymore. Yeah, that's interesting. Yeah, yeah, see

0:47:23.719 --> 0:47:26.319
<v Speaker 1>what they come up with. I mean, was that something

0:47:26.320 --> 0:47:27.799
<v Speaker 1>they're going to want to drop before at the start

0:47:27.800 --> 0:47:32.160
<v Speaker 1>of the season, during the season at least, think yeah,

0:47:32.200 --> 0:47:34.880
<v Speaker 1>for All Star weekend at the very least. Yeah, a

0:47:34.920 --> 0:47:36.760
<v Speaker 1>couple of months here.

0:47:37.160 --> 0:47:38.960
<v Speaker 2>No, I was going to say, you know, Jokic has

0:47:38.960 --> 0:47:41.000
<v Speaker 2>a shoe that nobody really talks about.

0:47:41.640 --> 0:47:44.200
<v Speaker 1>T K, where is it? I got a player, Trey

0:47:44.280 --> 0:47:46.279
<v Speaker 1>Kirby goes to Batford these, she gets asked a lot

0:47:46.320 --> 0:47:48.480
<v Speaker 1>about them. I've noticed that our pick up run like,

0:47:48.520 --> 0:47:52.279
<v Speaker 1>what are those? And you're like, yeah, these are the ookches. Yeah,

0:47:52.400 --> 0:47:54.759
<v Speaker 1>Joker gt too. Yeah, it's a mid cut.

0:47:55.360 --> 0:47:58.200
<v Speaker 3>It's a love it's actually pretty low. Yeah, the ones

0:47:58.200 --> 0:48:01.080
<v Speaker 3>I have. But you're a fan, Yeah they are really

0:48:01.120 --> 0:48:01.560
<v Speaker 3>really good.

0:48:02.160 --> 0:48:03.240
<v Speaker 6>Yeah see there low.

0:48:03.160 --> 0:48:05.120
<v Speaker 1>But you don't know a lot of people buy it.

0:48:05.680 --> 0:48:07.239
<v Speaker 1>I don't see them. You're the only person I've ever

0:48:07.239 --> 0:48:08.960
<v Speaker 1>seen wearing them.

0:48:09.120 --> 0:48:11.239
<v Speaker 6>Maybe they selling Europe out there. I don't know they're

0:48:11.239 --> 0:48:11.879
<v Speaker 6>getting out there.

0:48:12.080 --> 0:48:16.080
<v Speaker 1>Maybe they sell it right, all right, Next one ask

0:48:16.120 --> 0:48:16.719
<v Speaker 1>what you got here?

0:48:18.200 --> 0:48:19.400
<v Speaker 6>I got the right one, Yes, I do.

0:48:19.640 --> 0:48:24.560
<v Speaker 2>Just Wash skeets short on predicting the NBA Christmas Day slate.

0:48:24.880 --> 0:48:26.920
<v Speaker 2>While I agreed with most of his matchups, I was

0:48:26.960 --> 0:48:29.080
<v Speaker 2>a little shocked to see the Warriors still in the mix.

0:48:29.600 --> 0:48:31.839
<v Speaker 6>I think their time has passed. But what to task

0:48:31.920 --> 0:48:32.560
<v Speaker 6>and trade? Think?

0:48:32.880 --> 0:48:35.719
<v Speaker 2>What's their exmus Day lineup look like? Thanks for all

0:48:35.719 --> 0:48:39.520
<v Speaker 2>the summer content content turn up and all that jazz

0:48:39.680 --> 0:48:43.960
<v Speaker 2>that's from JJ. So Christmas Day lineup?

0:48:44.040 --> 0:48:45.719
<v Speaker 1>Well, for those that didn't see the short, I'll tell

0:48:45.719 --> 0:48:48.239
<v Speaker 1>you what I had, because he JJ didn't like that.

0:48:48.320 --> 0:48:50.040
<v Speaker 1>I had the Warriors there, but I had six Ers

0:48:50.120 --> 0:48:53.719
<v Speaker 1>Nicks in Madison Square Garden, obviously starting it off at

0:48:53.719 --> 0:48:58.080
<v Speaker 1>noon Celtic's heat. I had thunder Spurs. Got to run

0:48:58.120 --> 0:48:59.680
<v Speaker 1>that back this time. I had it in San Antonio

0:48:59.680 --> 0:49:02.760
<v Speaker 1>the last played an ok S last year Warriors Lakers

0:49:02.800 --> 0:49:04.600
<v Speaker 1>is where I had the Warriors, and then I finished

0:49:04.600 --> 0:49:07.480
<v Speaker 1>with Wolves Nuggets because they always played batchit crazy games

0:49:07.960 --> 0:49:12.320
<v Speaker 1>and obviously have the ant Andokich. That was my five TK.

0:49:12.400 --> 0:49:14.520
<v Speaker 1>How would you tweak it or did I nail it

0:49:14.600 --> 0:49:16.279
<v Speaker 1>or what do you think? I think you did a

0:49:16.400 --> 0:49:16.960
<v Speaker 1>very good job.

0:49:17.400 --> 0:49:20.440
<v Speaker 3>It does feel a little light on Eastern Conference teams.

0:49:20.440 --> 0:49:23.200
<v Speaker 3>To me, only four teams made it. You can make

0:49:23.200 --> 0:49:25.120
<v Speaker 3>an argument that the Caves, or the Pistons or the

0:49:25.120 --> 0:49:29.520
<v Speaker 3>Pacers deserve a game. I'm personally not too enthused on

0:49:29.640 --> 0:49:33.520
<v Speaker 3>the Heat, Warriors, Lakers, and Nuggets because if they pick

0:49:33.600 --> 0:49:36.560
<v Speaker 3>up an injury to one player, the game instantly sucks.

0:49:36.719 --> 0:49:36.960
<v Speaker 1>It could.

0:49:37.040 --> 0:49:39.640
<v Speaker 3>It's a long time from now, so I would only

0:49:39.719 --> 0:49:42.080
<v Speaker 3>change a few things. I try and get as many

0:49:42.200 --> 0:49:46.520
<v Speaker 3>rivalries as possible. I'm starting with Nicks Pacers good morning

0:49:46.840 --> 0:49:49.680
<v Speaker 3>or noon, whatever time you may be, six or Celtics.

0:49:49.719 --> 0:49:51.759
<v Speaker 3>We obviously have the Jalen Brown trade of it all,

0:49:51.840 --> 0:49:55.320
<v Speaker 3>not to mention a classic rivalry between the two teams.

0:49:55.360 --> 0:49:57.719
<v Speaker 3>Thunder Spurs is my middle day game. Just like you

0:49:57.840 --> 0:50:00.919
<v Speaker 3>had Skeets. That one seems perfect to me. I got

0:50:00.960 --> 0:50:04.280
<v Speaker 3>one interconference matchup the Pistons versus the Rockets, two teams

0:50:04.280 --> 0:50:05.160
<v Speaker 3>that seem most.

0:50:04.960 --> 0:50:07.320
<v Speaker 1>Likely to fight against each other, the Thompson Twins.

0:50:07.320 --> 0:50:09.799
<v Speaker 3>The Thompson Twins also two good teams, and then I'm

0:50:09.920 --> 0:50:12.040
<v Speaker 3>ending with Wolves Nuggets as well.

0:50:12.360 --> 0:50:14.400
<v Speaker 1>Good rivalry, it's a good one.

0:50:14.760 --> 0:50:16.879
<v Speaker 6>I do want to start with six Ers Nicks as

0:50:16.920 --> 0:50:17.480
<v Speaker 6>you had it, in.

0:50:17.440 --> 0:50:19.560
<v Speaker 1>There like it like that. I mean Lebron in Madison

0:50:19.600 --> 0:50:20.600
<v Speaker 1>Square Garden will be fun.

0:50:20.800 --> 0:50:26.680
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, And we just had Jalen Brown and in Jalen

0:50:26.840 --> 0:50:30.320
<v Speaker 2>Bronson at Donovan Mitchell's wedding and Jalen Brunson was staring

0:50:30.360 --> 0:50:31.200
<v Speaker 2>down Jalen Brown.

0:50:31.800 --> 0:50:32.600
<v Speaker 6>Come on, bring it on.

0:50:32.960 --> 0:50:35.840
<v Speaker 2>I would sub out from all these ten teams the

0:50:35.880 --> 0:50:39.400
<v Speaker 2>Celtics get out of here for the Detroit Pistons. I

0:50:39.440 --> 0:50:42.440
<v Speaker 2>think the Pistons belonging there. Out of all of the

0:50:42.440 --> 0:50:47.440
<v Speaker 2>players who got MVP votes, Kate Cunningham, he deserves an

0:50:47.520 --> 0:50:49.759
<v Speaker 2>MVP spot. I think, you know it is going back

0:50:49.760 --> 0:50:50.799
<v Speaker 2>to last season, maybe they'll be.

0:50:51.200 --> 0:50:54.439
<v Speaker 1>Kate's gonna finish higher than Tatum on MVP balls coming

0:50:54.520 --> 0:50:57.080
<v Speaker 1>up this season, quite possibly. I think it's a fun debate.

0:50:57.440 --> 0:50:59.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean him and Jalen Brown were super close

0:51:00.200 --> 0:51:03.480
<v Speaker 2>year in MVP ballots. But I think it's a very

0:51:03.480 --> 0:51:07.480
<v Speaker 2>different team. The Pistons with sixty wins, they deserve a

0:51:07.960 --> 0:51:12.279
<v Speaker 2>Christmas Day. They haven't had one since oh five was

0:51:12.280 --> 0:51:13.160
<v Speaker 2>a long time ago.

0:51:13.239 --> 0:51:13.399
<v Speaker 3>Man.

0:51:13.560 --> 0:51:15.640
<v Speaker 1>Do you know, do you know the only franchise that's

0:51:15.640 --> 0:51:16.600
<v Speaker 1>never played on Christmas?

0:51:16.600 --> 0:51:18.520
<v Speaker 6>I saw it. Yeah, Charlotte, that's right.

0:51:18.760 --> 0:51:21.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, probably not getting it any time.

0:51:23.360 --> 0:51:23.719
<v Speaker 3>This year.

0:51:24.640 --> 0:51:26.520
<v Speaker 1>Definitely not this year. Yeah, they need a bit, they

0:51:26.520 --> 0:51:30.520
<v Speaker 1>need a sixty win season with Konka Nipple and Brandon

0:51:30.520 --> 0:51:33.719
<v Speaker 1>Miller and you know, leading them that to maybe then

0:51:33.760 --> 0:51:34.400
<v Speaker 1>finally get one.

0:51:34.440 --> 0:51:37.120
<v Speaker 2>Steph goes and ends his career there, then he gets

0:51:37.160 --> 0:51:39.800
<v Speaker 2>one and then they get it. But uh, yeah, I

0:51:39.800 --> 0:51:41.560
<v Speaker 2>don't know. The Celtics played a time on Christmas Day,

0:51:41.560 --> 0:51:43.480
<v Speaker 2>so I'm okay subthing them up. They didn't play last year,

0:51:43.760 --> 0:51:47.440
<v Speaker 2>which I think with the NBA was their mentality was, Okay,

0:51:47.800 --> 0:51:49.360
<v Speaker 2>Jason TAM's not going to be there. This team is

0:51:49.360 --> 0:51:51.560
<v Speaker 2>not going to be as good, And that's kind of

0:51:51.680 --> 0:51:54.160
<v Speaker 2>advice for the same a similar situation to me. They

0:51:54.160 --> 0:51:56.480
<v Speaker 2>had played, you know, year after year after year after year.

0:51:56.800 --> 0:51:58.480
<v Speaker 2>Was it like eight or nine straight and they took

0:51:58.480 --> 0:51:59.759
<v Speaker 2>one off. They can take another one off. But I

0:51:59.800 --> 0:52:03.320
<v Speaker 2>could see the Pacers getting in there too. So Tyree

0:52:03.320 --> 0:52:05.399
<v Speaker 2>Halburn can go on the Pat McAfee show and talk

0:52:05.440 --> 0:52:07.879
<v Speaker 2>about it. I guess he loves being on the Pat

0:52:07.960 --> 0:52:08.600
<v Speaker 2>McAfee show.

0:52:08.800 --> 0:52:15.840
<v Speaker 3>That's actually good for the Pacers that they could make it.

0:52:15.920 --> 0:52:18.520
<v Speaker 1>Yet, how do you feel about the Warriors still being

0:52:18.680 --> 0:52:20.759
<v Speaker 1>in the mix because brings up a good point we

0:52:20.800 --> 0:52:23.760
<v Speaker 1>talked about, like they could be bad. If Curry is injured,

0:52:23.760 --> 0:52:26.120
<v Speaker 1>then they will be bad. I feel pretty confident saying that.

0:52:26.840 --> 0:52:28.759
<v Speaker 1>But also it's Steph Curry, and it's like you should

0:52:28.800 --> 0:52:31.080
<v Speaker 1>be playing on Christmas and they might be still decent

0:52:31.120 --> 0:52:31.840
<v Speaker 1>by this point.

0:52:32.239 --> 0:52:35.759
<v Speaker 2>I would keep hanging on to Steph wanting to play

0:52:35.800 --> 0:52:40.560
<v Speaker 2>basketball whenever he wants. It's all yeah, it's all dependent

0:52:40.560 --> 0:52:42.279
<v Speaker 2>on if he's healthy or not. So I hear what

0:52:42.320 --> 0:52:42.800
<v Speaker 2>you're saying.

0:52:43.200 --> 0:52:45.279
<v Speaker 1>Put him on there. Let Jimmy have a date to

0:52:45.320 --> 0:52:47.160
<v Speaker 1>circle there to get back for Christmas. It'd be good.

0:52:48.400 --> 0:52:52.919
<v Speaker 3>Packers Bears is also on Christmas, all right, right, Chicago, Right,

0:52:53.760 --> 0:52:54.440
<v Speaker 3>you got it?

0:52:54.760 --> 0:52:57.239
<v Speaker 1>Packers. I haven't looked at tickets yet, but that would

0:52:57.239 --> 0:53:01.600
<v Speaker 1>be really, really awesome. It would be awesome. Yeah, would

0:53:01.640 --> 0:53:02.120
<v Speaker 1>be awesome.

0:53:02.960 --> 0:53:06.000
<v Speaker 3>NFL trying to take that day sounds like a great

0:53:06.480 --> 0:53:07.480
<v Speaker 3>anniversary gift.

0:53:09.280 --> 0:53:11.560
<v Speaker 1>We should. We should get the NBA schedule.

0:53:12.239 --> 0:53:14.319
<v Speaker 6>Are you listening this week? Right?

0:53:14.400 --> 0:53:17.960
<v Speaker 1>Maybe it's a lot of early around August. Second week

0:53:17.960 --> 0:53:20.680
<v Speaker 1>of August. I think I think we'll get at least

0:53:20.680 --> 0:53:23.520
<v Speaker 1>the leaks. Here's the opening night, here's maybe christ we

0:53:23.560 --> 0:53:25.719
<v Speaker 1>might get those like in the next couple of days,

0:53:25.719 --> 0:53:27.520
<v Speaker 1>I would say, maybe even today. Who knows. How about

0:53:27.560 --> 0:53:31.400
<v Speaker 1>Opening night schedule? I mean a lot like playing obviously,

0:53:31.480 --> 0:53:34.480
<v Speaker 1>yeah night, Yeah, the six That's the thing. If six

0:53:34.560 --> 0:53:36.239
<v Speaker 1>Ers Nick isn't on Christmas, then it needs to be

0:53:36.320 --> 0:53:38.040
<v Speaker 1>Opening Night. I mean you could just do it both too,

0:53:38.080 --> 0:53:40.799
<v Speaker 1>but it definitely has to be one of them. Yeah,

0:53:40.800 --> 0:53:42.439
<v Speaker 1>what's the what's the late game?

0:53:42.520 --> 0:53:47.480
<v Speaker 3>Though? I would personally like Wolves Lakers as the late game? Okay,

0:53:47.719 --> 0:53:49.319
<v Speaker 3>just a bunch of young faces of the league.

0:53:49.480 --> 0:53:52.759
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, having fun, not against it at all. Trying to

0:53:52.760 --> 0:53:56.240
<v Speaker 1>think who else? I mean, I guess Stephen the Warriors

0:53:56.280 --> 0:53:59.560
<v Speaker 1>could be all as thunder Spurs. That might be fun

0:53:59.600 --> 0:53:59.960
<v Speaker 1>to start to.

0:54:01.000 --> 0:54:03.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we might get next. We might have best schedule

0:54:03.719 --> 0:54:07.360
<v Speaker 2>release next week as next week, Yeah, well just before

0:54:09.440 --> 0:54:11.399
<v Speaker 2>Hall of Fame ceremony, which is next weekend. I think

0:54:11.440 --> 0:54:16.000
<v Speaker 2>it'll all line up next week. Stein points out our

0:54:16.000 --> 0:54:18.560
<v Speaker 2>man Mark Stein said it could be August tenth that week.

0:54:19.239 --> 0:54:23.040
<v Speaker 1>Put me down though, that leaks happened this week, Okay, okay,

0:54:23.200 --> 0:54:25.840
<v Speaker 1>leak it. Somebody's leaking. Some Shan's will be saying something

0:54:26.880 --> 0:54:30.400
<v Speaker 1>final one here on the beach, good morning, No dunk's longtime,

0:54:30.440 --> 0:54:33.919
<v Speaker 1>fourth time I'm always amused whenever you or anyone else

0:54:34.000 --> 0:54:38.360
<v Speaker 1>raves about BUCkies. My wife is from Lake Jackson, Texas,

0:54:38.520 --> 0:54:41.960
<v Speaker 1>the original home of BUCkies, and while I have since

0:54:42.000 --> 0:54:44.200
<v Speaker 1>been to some of the giant ones that we definitely

0:54:44.200 --> 0:54:47.320
<v Speaker 1>have talked about, my first and most frequent BUCkies experience

0:54:47.719 --> 0:54:50.839
<v Speaker 1>is one down the street from her childhood home. That's

0:54:50.880 --> 0:54:55.080
<v Speaker 1>the size of a normal gas station. My question is,

0:54:55.560 --> 0:54:58.200
<v Speaker 1>what is some hype NBA related or otherwise that you

0:54:58.320 --> 0:55:00.680
<v Speaker 1>never got caught up in. Turn up. It's from Josh

0:55:00.719 --> 0:55:03.120
<v Speaker 1>in Denver. This is a funny. I like this email

0:55:03.120 --> 0:55:06.000
<v Speaker 1>because its like it is like we talk a lot

0:55:06.000 --> 0:55:08.799
<v Speaker 1>about Buddies, are like, oh, this huge giant Walmart like

0:55:08.840 --> 0:55:11.239
<v Speaker 1>gas station. It's crazy. All you gotta go. It's worse

0:55:11.239 --> 0:55:13.920
<v Speaker 1>stopping at. But like if the original one is just

0:55:13.960 --> 0:55:17.120
<v Speaker 1>a normal gas station, that's like us going. You gotta

0:55:17.200 --> 0:55:19.799
<v Speaker 1>go to seven eleven, man, you gotta check it out.

0:55:19.800 --> 0:55:22.960
<v Speaker 1>They got a Slurpe's and stuff. It's wild. So yeah,

0:55:23.000 --> 0:55:25.879
<v Speaker 1>but it's a fun question. The some hype again NBA

0:55:25.920 --> 0:55:27.960
<v Speaker 1>related otherwise that you didn't really get caught up in.

0:55:29.920 --> 0:55:33.040
<v Speaker 2>My answer is not good. I gotta be completely honest.

0:55:33.520 --> 0:55:35.360
<v Speaker 2>I just never got into energy drinks, and I just

0:55:35.400 --> 0:55:38.600
<v Speaker 2>see them everywhere right now. Every answer, I don't know.

0:55:38.640 --> 0:55:42.040
<v Speaker 2>It's not good hype around energy drinks. It's not It

0:55:42.040 --> 0:55:46.560
<v Speaker 2>doesn't fit the answer for Josh's question. But everybody everybody

0:55:46.640 --> 0:55:48.040
<v Speaker 2>drinking Celsius out.

0:55:47.840 --> 0:55:52.440
<v Speaker 6>There, I mean, yeah, sure, I'm a fairrenheit guy.

0:55:52.520 --> 0:55:58.600
<v Speaker 2>Sorry sorry sorry sorry change change what's in where they're

0:55:58.600 --> 0:56:01.799
<v Speaker 2>putting JD I think I saw Jackson drinking. What did

0:56:01.840 --> 0:56:04.080
<v Speaker 2>they putting protein in Celsius drinks too?

0:56:05.239 --> 0:56:06.440
<v Speaker 4>My Son drinking?

0:56:07.960 --> 0:56:10.040
<v Speaker 1>Maybe not? Yea, you might, I think you did. I

0:56:10.080 --> 0:56:11.239
<v Speaker 1>think I saw them in there once.

0:56:11.520 --> 0:56:12.839
<v Speaker 4>Oh, we've definitely had them in there.

0:56:12.880 --> 0:56:16.239
<v Speaker 1>Yes. So it's a zero sugar functional fitness energy drink.

0:56:16.640 --> 0:56:18.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so I see fit people doing it. It's just

0:56:18.800 --> 0:56:19.680
<v Speaker 2>so much caffeine.

0:56:19.680 --> 0:56:20.719
<v Speaker 4>It's not good for you.

0:56:20.840 --> 0:56:22.760
<v Speaker 6>Yeah. You started to see.

0:56:22.680 --> 0:56:26.000
<v Speaker 1>Two hundred milligrams per standard twelve ounce can of caffeine.

0:56:26.320 --> 0:56:29.239
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, so we're you know, it's like over two coffees,

0:56:29.280 --> 0:56:29.799
<v Speaker 6>just suck.

0:56:30.000 --> 0:56:30.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:56:30.440 --> 0:56:35.560
<v Speaker 2>But they throw protein in there too, I think.

0:56:35.520 --> 0:56:37.800
<v Speaker 4>Maybe sometimes different ones they got it?

0:56:38.440 --> 0:56:42.200
<v Speaker 1>Do that? Are they putting in all this to the

0:59:38.160 --> 0:59:40.160
<v Speaker 4>George Cooney, he called him George Coon.

0:59:40.520 --> 0:59:42.600
<v Speaker 1>I walked into the kitchen once door was opened to

0:59:42.680 --> 0:59:45.920
<v Speaker 1>the back. There was a raccoon sitting standing, just standing there.

0:59:46.200 --> 0:59:48.000
<v Speaker 1>I said, Ken, there's a raccoon in your kidding. Oh

0:59:48.080 --> 0:59:51.840
<v Speaker 1>that's George Cooney comes in all the time, something to eat.

0:59:51.880 --> 0:59:55.280
<v Speaker 1>Then he took off, crazy crazy. I don't like that.

0:59:55.320 --> 0:59:57.200

<v Speaker 6>Yeah yeah.

1:00:04.280 --> 1:00:07.160
<v Speaker 1>Mattie Austin when he lived on Spaniina, I think when

1:00:07.160 --> 1:00:09.480
<v Speaker 1>he lived on that weird like crescent. He they like

1:00:09.920 --> 1:00:12.480
<v Speaker 1>they broke in and he came home. They were all

1:00:12.480 --> 1:00:15.400
<v Speaker 1>in there just going through everything. That's scary as hell

1:00:15.520 --> 1:00:18.400
<v Speaker 1>man like he said. He says it like he walked

1:00:18.400 --> 1:00:21.640
<v Speaker 1>in and like he caught them by surprise. They're like, whoa,

1:00:21.840 --> 1:00:28.920
<v Speaker 1>I didn't. It's like I told you party like that.

1:00:30.680 --> 1:00:34.120
<v Speaker 2>There's they feel so smart. My friend had one coming

1:00:34.160 --> 1:00:36.440
<v Speaker 2>in his backyard. He put a camera up in his

1:00:36.440 --> 1:00:38.840
<v Speaker 2>backyard and he checked out, how do you deter?

1:00:39.200 --> 1:00:39.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

1:00:39.880 --> 1:00:41.760
<v Speaker 2>Uh and and a lot of the time you can

1:00:41.800 --> 1:00:44.440
<v Speaker 2>record screaming, he asked. He's like, hey, do you want

1:00:44.480 --> 1:00:48.000
<v Speaker 2>to scream into a microphone? Literally, so when the camera

1:00:48.040 --> 1:00:50.560
<v Speaker 2>picks it up and the sensor picks it up, the

1:00:50.560 --> 1:00:51.320
<v Speaker 2>sensor picks up it.

1:00:51.360 --> 1:00:53.240
<v Speaker 6>Literally you can deter by screaming.

1:00:53.720 --> 1:00:53.919
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

1:00:53.960 --> 1:00:56.760
<v Speaker 2>So I literally yelled into a phone which he put

1:00:56.840 --> 1:01:00.640
<v Speaker 2>up there. So I literally go ah and a phone.

1:01:00.920 --> 1:01:03.840
<v Speaker 2>And the first time that raccoon God ran away as

1:01:03.840 --> 1:01:05.720
<v Speaker 2>soon as it heard me screaming over and over.

1:01:05.960 --> 1:01:07.680
<v Speaker 1>But the second time they're like, hold on, that voice

1:01:07.680 --> 1:01:12.680
<v Speaker 1>sounds familiar? Is that from the basketball gets Well?

1:01:12.720 --> 1:01:14.800
<v Speaker 2>The second time they're too smart. They just hang out.

1:01:14.840 --> 1:01:18.000
<v Speaker 2>It's like I'll pick some stuff. You don't scare me, Yeah, guy.

1:01:17.920 --> 1:01:20.960
<v Speaker 1>It's just a voice. Yeah, they're too smart. But you've

1:01:20.960 --> 1:01:24.400
<v Speaker 1>looked at gymas now now you understand the allure of.

1:01:26.840 --> 1:01:26.880
<v Speaker 8>This.

1:01:27.000 --> 1:01:28.760

<v Speaker 1>the hype that you missed out on.

<v Speaker 4>Sure, Harry Potter really never got into it.

1:02:42.000 --> 1:02:44.760
<v Speaker 1>Well, now perfect time, HBO Max. Don't they have a

1:02:44.800 --> 1:02:47.440
<v Speaker 1>new series coming or something like that? Yeah?

1:02:47.440 --> 1:02:47.680
<v Speaker 3>I do.

1:02:47.960 --> 1:02:50.760
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, Rachel wants me to go, like watch them all?

1:02:51.000 --> 1:02:51.880

1:02:52.000 --> 1:02:55.200
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, I can't stay awake during them.

1:02:55.400 --> 1:02:58.160
<v Speaker 1>Really Yeah, not bad, j D. I'm not even the

1:02:58.160 --> 1:03:00.640
<v Speaker 1>biggest Harry Potter film. I've seen them and they're fine.

1:03:01.120 --> 1:03:04.360
<v Speaker 4>I hate magic, hate magic, Yeah, damn.

1:03:05.240 --> 1:03:08.320
<v Speaker 1>Okay, well that's gonna be a problem, a problem.

1:03:09.560 --> 1:03:11.920
<v Speaker 3>Here's a little magic in these. Do you think somebody

1:03:11.920 --> 1:03:12.680
<v Speaker 3>out there is like you?

1:03:12.840 --> 1:03:15.320
<v Speaker 1>So they've taken the Harry Potter series and edited out

1:03:15.360 --> 1:03:17.080
<v Speaker 1>anytime there's a magic part of it?

1:03:17.120 --> 1:03:17.400
<v Speaker 2>Wow?

1:03:23.440 --> 1:03:26.280
<v Speaker 5>Like ultimately, I mean I've seen them all. I think

1:03:26.800 --> 1:03:29.400
<v Speaker 5>it ends up being a blue beam against a red

1:03:29.440 --> 1:03:32.320
<v Speaker 5>beam and that's it, right, That's what the whole thing

1:03:32.760 --> 1:03:33.600
<v Speaker 5>culminates in.

1:03:33.960 --> 1:03:36.000
<v Speaker 1>There's some more layers to it, I would say than that.

1:03:36.400 --> 1:03:39.040
<v Speaker 5>Okay, there's the whole coming of age and all that,

1:03:39.200 --> 1:03:44.240
<v Speaker 5>and the chosen One and then they reluctant hero Yeah yeah, classic, Yeah,

1:03:44.400 --> 1:03:48.360
<v Speaker 5>never got into the books, not into the movies, not into.

1:03:48.120 --> 1:03:50.600

1:03:50.880 --> 1:03:53.439
<v Speaker 1>while we're talking HBO Max here because I heard you

1:03:53.880 --> 1:03:57.920
<v Speaker 1>hyping up House of the Dragon the latest season. Sure, yeah, yeah,

1:03:58.080 --> 1:03:59.800
<v Speaker 1>this thing is falling off the cliff here these last

1:03:59.840 --> 1:04:03.720
<v Speaker 1>couple episodes of sucked Ass. It started okay, it started

1:04:03.760 --> 1:04:08.880
<v Speaker 1>strong this season, but yeah, I don't know, I'm bored

1:04:08.880 --> 1:04:10.880
<v Speaker 1>out of my mind the last couple episodes, you know,

1:04:11.040 --> 1:04:15.320
<v Speaker 1>like Political Entry, Jesus Man, Like this guy always sniffing.

1:04:16.680 --> 1:04:19.200

1:04:19.280 --> 1:04:22.640
<v Speaker 1>this character. Actually, yeah, he's great. Yeah, yeah, he's a

1:04:22.680 --> 1:04:25.360
<v Speaker 1>good character. Yeah, but I've just been boring the last

1:04:25.360 --> 1:04:28.160
<v Speaker 1>couple My answer for this hype that I missed out

1:04:28.200 --> 1:04:32.640

1:04:32.680 --> 1:04:34.080

<v Speaker 1>of course Pikachu. Of course, Pikachu know that chars are Yeah,

1:04:46.040 --> 1:04:48.160
<v Speaker 1>do you know him? But I always just go back

1:04:48.160 --> 1:04:51.320
<v Speaker 1>to when you or we, I guess, but you were

1:04:51.320 --> 1:04:55.040

<v Speaker 1>understood how it all worked and what was the point

1:05:07.800 --> 1:05:10.480
<v Speaker 1>of it all. But there's there's leveling up to be done.

1:05:10.600 --> 1:05:15.760
<v Speaker 3>You can make your your pocket monster very deadly or faintly.

1:05:24.600 --> 1:05:24.680
<v Speaker 8>Like?

1:05:24.680 --> 1:05:27.720
<v Speaker 1>What's going on? Are these good people? These good creatures?

1:05:28.080 --> 1:05:31.000
<v Speaker 3>I don't know the story, Okay, see no idea As

1:05:31.040 --> 1:05:33.760
<v Speaker 3>a trainer, yes, trying to work his way up in

1:05:33.800 --> 1:05:34.240
<v Speaker 3>the world.

1:05:34.280 --> 1:05:36.919
<v Speaker 1>I believe he's training these little guys. Yeah, you got

1:05:36.920 --> 1:05:39.800
<v Speaker 1>to train for fights. So then you go into the battlegrounds.

1:05:40.320 --> 1:05:44.240
<v Speaker 1>You sometimes they get humongous. Oh what do they call that?

1:05:44.400 --> 1:05:52.680
<v Speaker 1>Super max? No, that's that's an NBA contract. I'd love

1:05:52.720 --> 1:05:55.680
<v Speaker 1>to hear Bobby Mark's thoughts on getting charge under the

<v Speaker 1>new CBA Marcus art.

1:06:03.480 --> 1:06:03.720
<v Speaker 4>Tough.

1:06:04.400 --> 1:06:06.080
<v Speaker 6>Do they even use the term maxing?

1:06:06.160 --> 1:06:11.120
<v Speaker 1>And Pokemon something. Somebody's gonna say what it is. It's something. Yeah,

1:06:12.680 --> 1:06:13.040
<v Speaker 1>we don't know.

1:06:13.880 --> 1:06:17.240
<v Speaker 3>They place shield, they play Pokemon Shield, I think is

1:06:17.280 --> 1:06:17.760
<v Speaker 3>the one they have.

1:06:18.120 --> 1:06:20.640
<v Speaker 1>People must just be yelling at their podcast right now.

1:06:21.120 --> 1:06:23.440

1:06:34.400 --> 1:06:37.560
<v Speaker 1>if anything, it's just incredible. It's still popular to me.

1:06:38.800 --> 1:06:41.560
<v Speaker 1>It's still a thing, big time, big huge. It is

1:06:41.600 --> 1:06:45.600
<v Speaker 1>a very long running thing. So good on Pokemon. They
