51
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: some boxing, some Showtime boxing, and I know I'm a

52
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 1: huge boxing fan. Uh, I go to all the fights,

53
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 1: been there since day one. Moving into our first segment,

54
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: new faces in new places. Let's get it. The NBA

55
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: is right around the corner. A lot of moves this season,

56
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: a lot of impactful moves, a lot of big name movement.

57
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,519
Speaker 1: I think that's why the NBA is the growth continues

58
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 1: to grow to a global game because of even when

59
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,119
Speaker 1: the off season, we still still headlines. When Russell Westbrook

60
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: moves or you know, these big names continue to move.

61
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 1: It continues to keep the the attention of the fans. Um,

62
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 1: so let's get into this season and some of the

63
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: most impactful moves. We'll start with Russell Westbrook and Carmelo

64
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 1: Anthony coming to the Los Angeles Lakers. Jack, what do

65
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 1: you think? I mean, it's something that we've been hearing about.

66
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 1: It ain't it ain't just like you know, pop up

67
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 1: out the sky. We've been in about those moves being made.

68
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 1: But it's good to see Melo get a chance to

69
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 1: get a championship. And it's also good to see Russ

70
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,239
Speaker 1: you know, and Lebron and a d get together. I think,

71
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: just just being a basketball fan and also form NBA player,

72
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: to see those three guys on the same court in

73
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: the same uniform, I was just exciting to see. But um,

74
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: if they don't want a championship, it's gonna be hell.

75
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: So it's all that, it's all or nothing. But my god,

76
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: you don't win the championship, it's gonna be hell. I mean,

77
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 1: this team has really given me that Karmelong, Gary Payton

78
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: that when they when they was with Kobe has did

79
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: that kind of feel. But you know, if they're healthy,

80
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 1: they should get to the finals. But that's the sign,

81
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: right there, How are you gonna house Westbrook gonna fit

82
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: with Lebron? Westbrook's been ball dominant, but Lebron goo had

83
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: a ball in his hands. I'm sorry, he's still twenty

84
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: six seven and seven to night. Can Westbrook make that adjustment?

85
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 1: And that's where we have to find out. Yeah, I

86
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: mean I think it's you know, only time will tell.

87
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: But when I look at these and when people try

88
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 1: to say stars the pieces that it matters and it

89
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:28,919
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. But then I also look from a standpoint

90
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: of how you guys have to sacrifice when you play

91
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 1: for an Olympic team, or how you sacrifice, you know,

92
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,479
Speaker 1: in the All Star Game, and somehow Stars seem to

93
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: make it work in those kind of situations. So again,

94
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: I think only time will tell. My biggest thing with

95
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: the Lakers is health, and I think they have to

96
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 1: understand and their fan base has to understand all with

97
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 1: all these big names, it's still a marathon with this

98
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: team because this is one of the older teams in

99
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: the league. Lebron going in his nineteenth year, you know,

100
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 1: everyone's a little bit older. Him and Meller the last

101
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: from the two thousand three class standard. If I'm not mistaken,

102
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 1: so this is gonna be you know, continue to find tune,

103
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 1: see what see with units, work patterns, work, continue to build.

104
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: You let me say not then, but look, if this

105
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: team gonna be something, Anthony Davis gotta be the n V.

106
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: He gotta be saying he got to carry the team.

107
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 1: Everybody still gonna have the role to play. Even with

108
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 1: those guys, it's gonna be a one one, A one

109
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 1: B and one seed guy. You know what I'm saying,

110
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: Who is that gonna because Lebron ain't gonna be one seed. No,

111
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: but Lebron you saw the first year that said he

112
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: really gave the keys to a d too. Like you know,

113
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 1: Carrien's through the regular season with all the energy. I

114
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:33,919
Speaker 1: want all the rebounds, I want all assists, I wanted

115
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: all I think Russ had a point in his career.

116
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 1: I think he had a point right now, like he

117
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: gotta want to sacrifice. He'll sacrifice. I think he definitely will.

118
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: But I agree with Paul. I think, you know, if

119
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: there was talk that you know, Lebron told him last

120
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: year and it's probably a lot to handle now, but

121
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: this is his second year knowing that this is really

122
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 1: his team, no matter who's spilling to the team who

123
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 1: they added. Lebron is your teammate. Lebron has hand you

124
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 1: to the key. So now it's up to a D.

125
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 1: I agree with you guys. This year a D has

126
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,080
Speaker 1: to step up and again the main thing with in

127
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: his health and then that's just that fired. I think

128
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 1: having someone like Russell Westbrook and Mellow and Braun is

129
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,039
Speaker 1: gonna help like that fire on and as you know,

130
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 1: is a great player, but it just seems like he's

131
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: on cruise control. Sometimes you have that type of behind

132
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 1: you and his skill level. I think it's gonna be

133
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 1: great again. I think they should represent the West if

134
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: they could stay healthy all the time. You see a

135
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 1: D getting mad because he didn't win, to block and shot,

136
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 1: nobody got the rebound. Russ don't get it. Rust coming

137
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: a D not m VP candidate. I don't see this

138
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 1: team when he got to be he gotta be looking

139
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 1: at Greek freaking the eye and like, okay, I'm right

140
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: here with you because he has that type of skill.

141
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 1: Absolutely no question. Moving on with the Chicago Bulls, they

142
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: were active this offseason, picking up the margin Rosen Lanzo

143
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 1: Ball to go with Zach Levine and Vosovic Caruso Killer

144
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: is also in that mix of Paul talked to me

145
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: about the Chicago You know what, I like them. That's

146
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: kind of underrated. You know, they should be a playoff team,

147
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:01,559
Speaker 1: you know, because you got the young stars Levine, Alonzo, Balls,

148
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 1: Cartoner coming to us own. He looked good in preseason

149
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: knocking them down. But then you got the Vets, the

150
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: Mare who's been through the wringer o G. When stuff,

151
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: stuff is tough, they can go to. Before it was

152
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: just they was learning as they went. They added some

153
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: Mozy Bosavic, you know, he's pretty much a o G

154
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: at this stage. And so they got the makings of

155
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 1: a playoff team and so we'll see how that goes.

156
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: It's all gonna be on their health. Like everybody else

157
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: in the coaching What do you think, Jack, It's good

158
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: to see them make moves to get better, but they're

159
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: still a seven six seven they see, Yeah, so to them, Yeah,

160
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: we're excited to see how that team can come together.

161
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: Got a lot of good parts. Uh could be a

162
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 1: piece away from really making noise in the Eastern Conference still,

163
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 1: but definitely off to a good start. Moving on with

164
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: the New York Knicks uh signing Kimba Walker. Uh Feigner, Jackie,

165
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: want to open it up with your favorite team. It's

166
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: good to see kim Walker go back home. We've seen

167
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: him do some amazing things in their garden from college

168
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 1: to now. So it's good to see him back. And

169
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: that's it. You ain't giving him nothing, Coach TIBs. They

170
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: then ocy back in the guard that that you want

171
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 1: to give him, Oh my gosh, I mean, I like that,

172
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: and that's underrated that that they got some underrated rules

173
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 1: if Kimba can get back to being Kimba, because Kimba

174
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: wasn't it self with Boston, you know, but rightfully so

175
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: Boston got two nine dynamic wings for near a shooter solid,

176
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: you know, and then coach Tibbs is the X factor

177
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 1: because you know, regardless think about that team, that team

178
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 1: wasn't ain't got that much talent. You know, the young

179
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 1: boy r J. He's pretty good and so quickly quickly. Yeah,

180
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: but they'll be a playoff team because they got good

181
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 1: coaching and they added, you know, a nice solid back court.

182
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 1: I still feel like they need and this is no

183
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,439
Speaker 1: disrespect to Julius Rando on the season he had I

184
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: still think they need a one A. I think Julish

185
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,199
Speaker 1: Randall is a good one B. I think they're missing

186
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 1: to score. I wanted to do what accomplished, what the

187
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: story of that wing, that wingness, and you're talking about

188
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:10,439
Speaker 1: if they get a one day they could be a

189
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: championship continue. Absolutely not, but I'm saying to be serious

190
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:18,959
Speaker 1: in the Eastern Confees, definitely not saying that. I mean,

191
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 1: obviously we know who the clear cut there's there's teams

192
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: at the top, but I'm saying you just never know what,

193
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 1: especially the way the league has been with injuries and

194
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 1: people in and out. I think they're one play away

195
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: from really making some noise. And I'm gonna tell you

196
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 1: what they are, and I'm gonna keep it one hunted.

197
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 1: They want owner away from making more no straight up.

198
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,319
Speaker 1: Once they get rid of Jim Dolan or he selled

199
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: the team, then you're gonna have some serious contention for

200
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: the because players agency don't want to come there because

201
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: New York is a big it's a big market, so

202
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: they they always one player away from being at the top,

203
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 1: and that's the owner's day. I'm rapping the Knicks as

204
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 1: soon as that happen. The day I will be how

205
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 1: big of an impact will Kyle Lowry be with the

206
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 1: Miami Heat this year? Good addition to go along with

207
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler BAM. I think Tyler Hero needs to have

208
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,959
Speaker 1: a bounceback season. Um. Thoughts on the Miami Heat and

209
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 1: the move with Larry Does that do anything in your

210
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: mind to help them? Because to him a top contending

211
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 1: in the East. Yeah, I like to move another dog

212
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 1: with Jimmy Butler. Um, you know, they did some amazing

213
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 1: things the last two years. Obviously last year wasn't the

214
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: year they wanted to have because a lot of injuries.

215
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 1: But I think this was this was a great year.

216
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 1: That definitely a contend to coming out of the East

217
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,079
Speaker 1: with the way BAM been playing all and all of

218
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: pieces to that puzzle. But Adam Kyle Lowry definitely gave

219
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: them an extra notch up to get out of the East.

220
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 1: Do they do they still got tragic or he gone?

221
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 1: He's gone right, But he's been beating up the last

222
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: two years. Yeah, he went from tragic to tragic. But anyway,

223
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 1: you know, I mean he didn't help him last year,

224
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 1: but Lowry great move that somebody who could take pressure

225
00:10:56,320 --> 00:11:00,200
Speaker 1: off Jimmy Butler. Hopefully the kid Hero can tell the

226
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: next step because when we saw from him in the

227
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 1: finals a couple of years ago, I don't feel like

228
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 1: he took the step that he needed to take. So

229
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 1: if they can find a great role for him, whether

230
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: to be a starter off the bench, I think the

231
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 1: kid does have potential. If he takes the next step,

232
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 1: then they got something because I put them in the

233
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 1: same boat right now in Atlanta ballstond Uh the second tier,

234
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 1: you know, but some of them players got to take

235
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: the next step, and he's one of Yeah. I think

236
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 1: it was an interesting him and Duncan Robinson. Uh, you

237
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: know what, Duncan would be one of the best shooters

238
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: in the game. They that they snuck up on the league,

239
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: but you know how much your name starts moving up

240
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 1: that scattering port and you're one of the first handful

241
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: of guys you talked about every night. We start taking

242
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: different things away, and I think that's what happened last

243
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 1: year more than kind of taking a step. And now

244
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 1: they have to understand what that is about and be hungry.

245
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 1: But it looked like Tyre Hero all I don't put

246
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 1: much water in the preseason has come out really aggressive

247
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,319
Speaker 1: in the preseason, shooting the ball well. So if those

248
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,839
Speaker 1: two guys can be there consistent outside threats, I definitely

249
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 1: think they're go man, make some noise in the East.

250
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 1: Moving on to the Ben Simmons saga, Clutch Sport released

251
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 1: a statement saying they're trying to get Ben into camp

252
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: at least to do what we'll discuss. But what if

253
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: you guys thought about this ongoing dilemma really since the

254
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,319
Speaker 1: end of the East East playoffs last year. Par You

255
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 1: know what, what I'm seeing right here is the players

256
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: taking control of their own destiny. We saw James Harden

257
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 1: do it. But how would you feel and how would

258
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: you feel the coach throw you under the bus too?

259
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 1: And your your teammate who supposed to be your role dog,

260
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: you know, I mean he's feeling a certain kind of way.

261
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 1: This era is different. You know, Feelings get hurt, and

262
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 1: you know when Doc say, I don't know you could

263
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 1: be a championship point guard, When your second your best

264
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 1: players say something about you, it's like, damn, y'all really

265
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: all don't want me here. So I understand that part.

266
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, man, they are

267
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 1: a contender with him. They were the number one team

268
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: in the East last year, and I just think they

269
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:53,680
Speaker 1: got to find a way to work it out, truthfully,

270
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 1: because I don't really see nowhere else where he's gonna

271
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: have that opportunity to be who he wants to be. Maybe,

272
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 1: but he was thriving in Philly, so you know, we'll see.

273
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:08,319
Speaker 1: I hope it works out. I blame Brett Brown. Come

274
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,319
Speaker 1: your g ass back from Australia and take all this

275
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 1: heat because you know, no bullshit, because you're the reason

276
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 1: why he never worked on his jump shot. You the

277
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 1: reason why he came into the game in the first

278
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: couple of years. He was content on just being the

279
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 1: player he was because you never asked him to get better.

280
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 1: You knew he was just coaching Australia. You've been knowing

281
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 1: him as a youngster, so you just let him go

282
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:30,959
Speaker 1: as he wanted and never made him get better. So

283
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: he handicapped him from the jump. You see him shooting

284
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 1: them three hit him in the warm up, but don't

285
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 1: don't shoot him in the game, what I'm saying, But

286
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 1: that's on him. That's on Ben. You can't blame nobody

287
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: else for that. You know what I'm saying. But the

288
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 1: fact that Brett Brown never pushed him to games like

289
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 1: he shooting in the summertime and to be that player.

290
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. Now, you've got other coaches

291
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,839
Speaker 1: coming in and what you expect me to do if

292
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,079
Speaker 1: I feel that this coach handicapped you, and you and

293
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 1: you ain't the point going that you should be because

294
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,120
Speaker 1: you've been handicapped, I've not been to deal with. I'm

295
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 1: gonna tell you the truth. And that's basically what coaches,

296
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 1: every every um, what Doc we was saying, every coach

297
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 1: is saying. Everybody's saying, we're seeing it. Bro're not shooting

298
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 1: you handicapped for your team. You can't have one of

299
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: the dom the most dominant big men in the game

300
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: and you passed the ball and they can double him,

301
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: but kick it out to you and you're not gonna

302
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 1: shoot it. That kills the whole offense, right A wrong? Yeah,

303
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I just think that the thing with Ben

304
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 1: is that mental block. And we've all seeing guys in

305
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 1: the summer killing the summertime and then when the games

306
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 1: come around either can't hit or won't shoot in Ben

307
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 1: Simmons case, and to me, it's just that mental getting

308
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 1: over that hurdle because he has to be okay with missing,

309
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 1: and I think that's what he's worried about his missing

310
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 1: or a well, if you think of everybody missed, everybody

311
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 1: miss you know what I mean. So he has to

312
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 1: get over that. So I mean, to me, that's his side.

313
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 1: And then to Paul's point, what Doc and and and

314
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: Joel said, it wasn't to me that was they were

315
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 1: even talking really shit. They were just speaking their mind.

316
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 1: It wasn't like they were trying to dog in. There

317
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 1: were just speaking their mind. But to me, as you said,

318
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 1: you know where his mentalist, we're not really sure. And

319
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 1: how he took that as he was offended by it.

320
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: So fast forward to that he's coming up on a

321
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 1: million dollars lost as of Monday. Now they're trying to

322
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 1: get him in the camp to see what they do.

323
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 1: So I don't know if the bridge can be mended

324
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 1: or welded or cemented, but it'll be interestant because also

325
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 1: they keep asking for a lot too, and they're trying

326
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 1: to trade him, and I don't necessarily think they want

327
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 1: to trade him, And that's why I think they're asked

328
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 1: or so over the top, because I don't really think

329
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 1: management wants to trade him, although he wants to be gone.

330
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 1: So we saw James Harden kind of go through this

331
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 1: last year, come in out of shape, not really wanted

332
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 1: to be there, and they were able to give him

333
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 1: to Brooklyn. You guys see him being moved. I'm saying,

334
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 1: but what if what if the seven cents phone is

335
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 1: not blowing up for Ben? For Ben Simmons? Yeah, what

336
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 1: if that's the reason they're trying to get him in camp?

337
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 1: Because the ain't nobody calling. Man, You don't nobody else

338
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 1: want to deal with a six points on the table.

339
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: So I don't care. What what the million dollars? It

340
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 1: was eight million a couple of weeks ago, right, I mean,

341
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 1: what miss that? I'm I'm gonna show up even if

342
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 1: I were practicing. Man, let me get that. I ain't

343
00:15:55,920 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 1: even know. Let me get that. I'm gonna already sit

344
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 1: on the sideline here. Though y'all see him being moved,

345
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 1: There's team is interesting. I just don't Obviously they add

346
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 1: the price is too high? Will he be there post

347
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 1: All Star break? I think the relationship is broken. Agree,

348
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 1: I think it's broken. I think it's too But I

349
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 1: don't think they at the point where they can't give

350
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 1: him away for nothing. And I think that's what that's

351
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: what it is right now, is not it's not gonna

352
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 1: get try to get him back in camp, first team,

353
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 1: all defense, lockdown, defender, bid on it if we can.

354
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I think right now at this point, I can't.

355
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: I need to cast. At this point, he is who

356
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 1: were gonna be. I can put together a highlight tap

357
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 1: of him shooting threes like Steph Kurt. But like you said,

358
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 1: that mental block he in the game, when that crowd,

359
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 1: when the lights come on, when that popcorn popping, you

360
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 1: know how you changed. But but you know what, and

361
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: this for people that have never played in the game,

362
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 1: and it's just some free game for y'all, it's some shooters,

363
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 1: some of your favorite shooters. We you think that would

364
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 1: be in a three part content. When it comes to

365
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter with the last couple of seconds, they

366
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 1: can't hit that house. They was in the kitchen. So

367
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 1: so that's just how it is. Even even though he

368
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 1: can make them in the summertime, everybody can make him

369
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: in the runt and the best shoots that played the game,

370
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 1: someone can't make them at the end of the game,

371
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:18,880
Speaker 1: and that's just how at the side of the back

372
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:23,360
Speaker 1: war the playoffs, they can't make them. What's up? You're

373
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 1: right about that job. That's a good point. Moving on

374
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 1: to the Los Angeles Lakers. We touched on them earlier,

375
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,680
Speaker 1: but this this team is loaded. If this this roster,

376
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 1: if they had this roster ten years ago, they would

377
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 1: be the clear cut favorite running for several titles in

378
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:39,440
Speaker 1: a row. But just to obviously Lebron James, Anthony Davis,

379
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 1: Russell West for Carlamelo, Anthony Dwight Howard, Kendrick Nunn, Malik Monk,

380
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 1: bas Moore, Ellington Rondo, DeAndre Jordan, Trevor Reesa, Morton Tucker.

381
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 1: I mean, the roster is deep, and I think really

382
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,959
Speaker 1: the success of this team again is how they approach it,

383
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:58,439
Speaker 1: you know how, and can they stay healthy? What are

384
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 1: the chances of this team being one of the older

385
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,360
Speaker 1: teams in the league. A lot of experiences that can't

386
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: beat experiencing the playoffs. Can this team get themselves to

387
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 1: a point where they're gonna have enough soldiers on deck

388
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 1: to go to war come play all time? Man, Listen,

389
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 1: this is all a d and the main two guys

390
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 1: we're talking about is a D and Lebron, both of

391
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:24,120
Speaker 1: them got to stay healthy. And Westbrook. If those three

392
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:25,880
Speaker 1: are healthy going to the playoffs, I don't care about

393
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 1: the rest of them. You can replace the rest of

394
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 1: them if though, you can put us three back out

395
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 1: there with Lebron, A D and Westbrook and we'll be all.

396
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 1: If they're healthy them through, they should be in the finals.

397
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,880
Speaker 1: I agree, totally agree. But that's the question mark every year.

398
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 1: Think about the champions who win it, it's something happened

399
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 1: with that. It's always healthy is always a concern. That's

400
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,880
Speaker 1: Toronto win if Katie don't get hurt. You know, even

401
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 1: last year, do Phoenix make it to the finals if

402
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 1: A D was healthy or this person was healthy? Jamal Murray,

403
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 1: you know, injuries are always a factor. Every year we

404
00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 1: lost in Game seven, Perk got hurt. You know, it's

405
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 1: always a factor every year, injury. So that's the biggest quote.

406
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,399
Speaker 1: I want to ask this to kind of a different question.

407
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 1: Injuries weren't such a big concern while we were playing,

408
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 1: and it was always a goal of everyone in the

409
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 1: league at that time to play eight two games. Why

410
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 1: do you guys think fast forward? You know we've all

411
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 1: been moved, you know, going on five years now. But

412
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:19,160
Speaker 1: why is injury such a big part of the game.

413
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 1: Are they playing too much basketball? Did the pandemic schedule

414
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:25,879
Speaker 1: funk up? The rest Olympics all the other stuff? But

415
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 1: why is everything so hinging on injuries? And I don't

416
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 1: ever recall it being this determined on injuries at any

417
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:34,159
Speaker 1: time in the history of the game. There's never been

418
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 1: spoken as much like it is now. But we want

419
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 1: a championship. In all three we played against, the Man's

420
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,119
Speaker 1: would have hurt without dirt because Dirk was hurt, you

421
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Fact, So I think from the

422
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 1: from the course of time, it's been more highlighted and

423
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 1: more highlighted of games, not that people not having their

424
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 1: stars and the star players getting hurt in crucial times

425
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,640
Speaker 1: of the season. How can we kind of minimize this ship,

426
00:19:57,680 --> 00:19:59,360
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And that's I think that's

427
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 1: how the conversation came about. I think it's gonna have

428
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 1: to be something where they go back to the drawing

429
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 1: board because I think that the pace of play, all

430
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 1: the other playing that the guys are doing with all

431
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 1: Star Games, Olympics, I think they may have to end

432
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 1: up shortening the season because, like I said that, the

433
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 1: pace is so much different than it was, you know

434
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 1: what I mean. And obviously it's a lot of TV money.

435
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 1: That's a whole another monster we're not going to get

436
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 1: into right now. But to me, how do we put

437
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 1: a premium on having our guys out there because everyone

438
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 1: wants to get mad at uh rest? What was that

439
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 1: should call when they rest? Uh? Rest? Management? Load? Man? Everyone?

440
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:30,679
Speaker 1: This funk that? But at the end of the day,

441
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 1: like these dudes be getting hurt if they don't rest,

442
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 1: and it's like they like unlikely the rest is a

443
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 1: part of it. Something tell you girl when you want it?

444
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 1: When you don't want to have six right now? Management,

445
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 1: manage my manager's load real quick, little so we'll see again.

446
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:52,920
Speaker 1: I think the key to the Lakers season is their

447
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:56,119
Speaker 1: ability to stay healthy. Obviously excited to see Lebron in

448
00:20:56,200 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 1: your nineteen is to continue to define the odds of physics. Um,

449
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 1: but it's gonna be again to pault point, the Lakers

450
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:07,880
Speaker 1: are gonna go as far as a d or take them. Well,

451
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,200
Speaker 1: how would they be on the sideline without Jay Kid

452
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 1: this year too? Lebron is the coach that Nay. But

453
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,159
Speaker 1: you gotta have that guy. You have the guy, that

454
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,879
Speaker 1: guy on the sideline that can get that you can

455
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 1: throw to you. I'm saying, on that coach, And you

456
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 1: gotta have that one coach, even if it's not the

457
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 1: head coach. You gotta have that one coach that you

458
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 1: can talk to to get to the head coach. Was

459
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:46,159
Speaker 1: it the college? Well, let's try to make sense about

460
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: the rest of the West. You know, we got the

461
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: Phoenix Suns, you taught Jazz, the Warriors, the Nuggets, Clippers

462
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 1: without Kauai, MAVs, Blazers. I mean, the West is always

463
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 1: heavier to me, is to you guys. There's anyone that

464
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,880
Speaker 1: stands out. Obviously, the Jazz had a great season last year,

465
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 1: but I thought, again, if I thought I was crazy,

466
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 1: I thought they needed that second consistent twenty point score

467
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 1: with Mike Connie in and out. They didn't have that.

468
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 1: Do you guys see them as a threat in the West.

469
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 1: The Warriors are healthy, Clay should be back some time

470
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 1: in December. To me, I think the Warriors have a

471
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,439
Speaker 1: lot of assets to possibly trade before the deadline to

472
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 1: bolster you know, their chance. The Nuggets. Jamal Murray is

473
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,160
Speaker 1: gonna be some time. But you know, Michael Porter genius

474
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,440
Speaker 1: sign in that new contract. They got the m v P. There,

475
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 1: don't know what to expect it with the Clippers without

476
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 1: Kauai um Luca Dame, with their respective teams. Thoughts on

477
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 1: the rest of the West, they all in the same boat,

478
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 1: all in because don't nobody outside the Lakers got two

479
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 1: All Stars on their team consistent when you talk about

480
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:46,879
Speaker 1: Portland's game, when you talk about MAVs, it's only Luca, Like,

481
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 1: who else got two All Stars? Chris Paul, I don't

482
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 1: think it gonna be in the All Star Game this year.

483
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 1: So that's gonna move over the booker. So who's the

484
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 1: second guy? The Lakers the only one that could potistally

485
00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 1: have two three All Stars. You need two All Stars

486
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,359
Speaker 1: and make it to the finals minimum now, and so

487
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 1: they're all in the same boat. To me, if the

488
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,880
Speaker 1: Lakers get injured, then now everybody in the same Yeah,

489
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I can't agree. I can't disagree with that

490
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:15,399
Speaker 1: at Allhis look at all the things. But you know, Memphis,

491
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,920
Speaker 1: they're still trying to figure out who they are. Yeah,

492
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,119
Speaker 1: Young and like you said, the rest of these teams,

493
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 1: they're coming into the season. Okay, we know what we

494
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 1: are and who we are. Let's just see how the

495
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:27,640
Speaker 1: season going in you know what I'm saying, because it ain't.

496
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 1: It ain't like they're coming in with a new game

497
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,879
Speaker 1: plan of doing something different. Portland the same team, Dallas

498
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 1: the same the same teams have been. They've been the

499
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 1: same way the last couple years. And we're not gonna

500
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 1: see nothing different from them. We know who they are

501
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:41,920
Speaker 1: where they're gonna landed the season, so they agree with you,

502
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 1: But they're all in the same basket. To me, does

503
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 1: Dame Litar get traded or before All Star or this summer?

504
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I think his whole thing and he's always

505
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 1: taking the high road. I want you to build this

506
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 1: team into me. They didn't. With all the respect to

507
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 1: the pieces they had, they didn't move the needle um

508
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 1: this offseason. Hell on this Dame wasted his good years

509
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 1: import And you're someone who you know had to cross

510
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 1: with your career, the star player. They weren't really adding

511
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 1: like you needed them to add. You hung out there

512
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 1: and ended up you know, getting KG and Ray winning

513
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 1: the championship. Is there any like at the end of

514
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 1: the tunnel for Dame in Portland. I don't see no.

515
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,879
Speaker 1: I don't see no like in Portland. Um, you know

516
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:18,360
Speaker 1: a great career, top fifty player. Ever, I think he's

517
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:21,879
Speaker 1: gonna retire in Portland. There's no moves to be made

518
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,920
Speaker 1: unless you compare him with who Greek freak like, which

519
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,719
Speaker 1: is not gonna happen. That's the move if you can

520
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,439
Speaker 1: get him the Portland. From Portland the Philly, that's the

521
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 1: only move. That's the only move. The game goes to Philly.

522
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:38,160
Speaker 1: Where does that put them? With Brooklyn and Milwaukee? They

523
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:43,119
Speaker 1: they contenders. They contend straight up, They contenders. They got

524
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 1: a closer and you gotta due. Got everything in between

525
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 1: an n B n B. They contended that pick and roll.

526
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:56,439
Speaker 1: That's that's nasty, that's scary. I don't know that that

527
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 1: needs to happen. They get out of that. Wanted. I

528
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:07,200
Speaker 1: just wanted to see Dave. But I get it. They're

529
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 1: not loyal upstairs. They players gotta do what they gotta do.

530
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 1: Thoughts on Kyrie Irving right now, I mean well publicized.

531
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 1: UH want to do more research and and and let

532
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 1: me say personally, you know, I respect any decision whether

533
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:31,879
Speaker 1: you want to get and Jack and I have had

534
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:35,440
Speaker 1: the discussion whether you want to get the vaccination or

535
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:37,400
Speaker 1: you don't want to get I respect because everyone has

536
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 1: their reasons. Obviously, his is making headlines because he is

537
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 1: a very key piece to a team that has a

538
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,120
Speaker 1: chance to win a championship. On top of it, there's

539
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 1: forty million dollars on the table. UH. Coach Steve Nash

540
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:49,200
Speaker 1: came out a couple days ago talking about we're gonna

541
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 1: have to just playing with them only half games. As

542
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 1: a star player on your team and a really important

543
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 1: player on your team, how would you take it, as

544
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,399
Speaker 1: guys in the locker room if one of your best

545
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,880
Speaker 1: players or your your side kick wasn't gonna be there

546
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,160
Speaker 1: for you for the whole season. I think it's a conversation.

547
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:08,639
Speaker 1: We gotta talk because you got your personal reasons. But

548
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 1: I'm saying, like, if you're telling me, if I don't

549
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 1: take this shot, it's gonna cost me what twenty million dollars?

550
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 1: Man give me that shot. Man, come on, I'm gonna

551
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 1: eat this even if I don't want to twenty million dollars.

552
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 1: I mean, it is what it is. I'm seeing my

553
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 1: teammates take it. I'm seeing they having no ill effects.

554
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 1: I'm seeing everybody around me not have no ill effects.

555
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 1: It can't be all that bad. If it's gonna cost

556
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 1: me a dub meal, yeah, I'll suck it up. Come on,

557
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 1: bring it right here, bring it right here. What are

558
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 1: your thoughts on that? Jack? I mean, you know, I'm

559
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:44,679
Speaker 1: I mean, I totally get that. But I'm more like

560
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:48,200
Speaker 1: to each his own, you know what I mean? That

561
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 1: that's how you fail. I'm I'm I'm a million right here, Jack,

562
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 1: take the shot. I'm just saying. I'm just saying this

563
00:26:56,640 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 1: just all I'm saying to see it to to eat,

564
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 1: to each his own, man, I mean, it's like, I'm, I'm,

565
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:09,160
Speaker 1: I'm your friend all the time, right So with regards

566
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 1: what you choose to do, that's what you choose to do.

567
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 1: That's your decision. I respected regards high go. You know

568
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:15,920
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Well, either if I got to lose

569
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 1: you as a teammate for party games or are you

570
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:21,120
Speaker 1: taking the job and you can you coming on and

571
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,400
Speaker 1: you're playing with Either way, I love you the same

572
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:27,119
Speaker 1: way I respect man. You know what I mean, I

573
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:33,120
Speaker 1: ain't the one to you to think about your family decision.

574
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 1: Though Kyrie every didn't having no money problems with no time,

575
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,119
Speaker 1: ain't no money. But that's an extra dub, like you

576
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:39,920
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, ain't having no money problems? No, no,

577
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:42,119
Speaker 1: no doubt about that. Yeah, I definitely don't think it's

578
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:45,120
Speaker 1: gonna it's gonna hinge on the money. He's done well, obviously,

579
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 1: very well off the court. To me, the question becomes,

580
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:52,399
Speaker 1: you know, Kyrie, there's there. The past few years have

581
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 1: been off the court distractions have kind of overshadowed. And

582
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 1: that's saying a lot because when he is on the

583
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,160
Speaker 1: court playing basketball, he's one of the greatest towns we've

584
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 1: ever seen, you know, of the last few years, it's

585
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 1: been personal reasons and this and we and we respect

586
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 1: the family moves and what he needs to do. And

587
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 1: to me, this is another this season again obviously with

588
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 1: with the vaccination, which I think is crazy. They're not

589
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:13,440
Speaker 1: mandating it, but they're making it almost to the way

590
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:16,400
Speaker 1: where you have to take it to to start moving

591
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 1: in this world. So that's the world we're headed towards

592
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 1: right now. But you know what about his obligation to

593
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 1: his team, because we've all been on teams and bro,

594
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:25,399
Speaker 1: that's how we became families from our team, and you

595
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:29,200
Speaker 1: have loyalty and family homies, you'll you know, you'll die

596
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 1: with from the team. So what about his commitment to

597
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 1: the Brooklyn Nets. I respect his his personal being and

598
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:36,639
Speaker 1: it's his bodies for the rest of his life. But

599
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 1: he's also getting paid a lot of money. This is

600
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 1: it's still a two headed monster with Jane or with

601
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 1: Kevin Duran and James hardness to me second to none

602
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 1: in the league still, But with Kyrie is that third piece?

603
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 1: To say that Kyrie is the third piece is crazy,

604
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 1: like that is the recipe for multiple championships in my opinion.

605
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 1: So this, this vaccination ship is not going nowhere, but

606
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 1: this is going to be the same man the manager

607
00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 1: are probably gonna be stricter next season, you know what

608
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 1: I mean. So where did they go as a team

609
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 1: knowing that one of the best players in the world

610
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 1: can only play half the game. And let's take a

611
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 1: step further, what if they play the Lakers in the finals?

612
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 1: You can't play in l A and you can't play

613
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 1: in New York with the vaccine, you know what I mean?

614
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 1: So what do you do when that happens? When this

615
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 1: this this matchup that everyone is hoping for these two

616
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 1: trains are gonna collide. What happens when they make it

617
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 1: with Kyrie only playing half the season and then then

618
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 1: the finals and he can't play. Retire? Retire, retire. You

619
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 1: don't want to this, This is happening, This is coming

620
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 1: at you. This is what's happening. If you're not feeling this, retire.

621
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 1: But I think from a fans perspective, like just those

622
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 1: three like everyone to me, that could be arguably the

623
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 1: greatest trio scoring trio in the history of the game.

624
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 1: I'm saying, how would you feel if you, as Kadi thought,

625
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 1: how would you personally feel like you, k d that's

626
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 1: his dog. But you gotta be called on, like come on, man,

627
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 1: just real quick, just like something like something I don't know.

628
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 1: So outside of the Buck and the Nets in the East, um,

629
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 1: we spoke to if Dame Lillard goes to the Sixers,

630
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 1: what happens? Uh? Anyone else you guys see making noise

631
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 1: in the Eastern Conference? Heat, Hawks, Celtics, Pacers, Bulls. Wait,

632
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 1: let me see if there's no Kyrie? Are they are

633
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:22,240
Speaker 1: the Nets still heading shoulders better than these other teams?

634
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 1: Are they better than the Celtics with Jalen and Tatum

635
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 1: and Atlanta or another duel you would take over those two.

636
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 1: There's there's there's not another duel, not in the East.

637
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 1: But but team wise, I mean, I don't know. I mean,

638
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 1: you know, mill Walking is his head and shoulders ahead

639
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 1: of them chemistry wise. And then the champs. I mean,

640
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 1: it's not a guarantee without Kyrie that this team makes

641
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 1: to the finals, truthfully, because yeah, they got a dynamic duel.

642
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 1: They got a little deeper this year with their talent,

643
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 1: but they ain't really played together yet, and it's hard

644
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 1: to bring a team together a first year and say

645
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 1: all right, we're about to win it, right, But what

646
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,480
Speaker 1: I will say is they were a big toneail away

647
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 1: from going to the finals without Kyrie, and it hurt

648
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 1: James Harden with just k D. Like you said, p J.

649
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 1: Tucker was a major piece of that defensive. You know,

650
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 1: Core that you're gonna have to stop with the stars.

651
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 1: So it'll be interesting to see, you know, how this

652
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 1: stuff plays out. It is definitely gonna be a fun season.

653
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 1: Next step, we have a happy seventy five anniversary to

654
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 1: the NBA, an organization that brought all of us a

655
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 1: lot of joy and and and and great careers and

656
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 1: and open doors. We couldn't imagine happy twenty or seventy

657
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 1: five birthday to that best part about being at Boston

658
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 1: Celtic and and the NBA player as a whole to you, Paul, Well,

659
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 1: for me, you know, just the journey it took me on,

660
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 1: you know, a kid out of Inglewood. Because of the NBA,

661
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:50,240
Speaker 1: I got to travel. I had to travel of the world,

662
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 1: you know, I got to see places I never thought

663
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 1: all the see and uh you know, be around them

664
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 1: legends being a Celtic. Bill Russo read all back. Um,

665
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 1: I owe the NBA everything how my life has uh transpired,

666
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 1: and so I'm thankful for that. I'm thinking would be

667
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 1: a part of the seventy five anniversary. Excited to see

668
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 1: the Top seventy five. I know that because I remember,

669
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 1: I think All Star, because I remember when they did

670
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 1: the Top fifty. I think I was in high school

671
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,719
Speaker 1: and they did it and announced it at All Star weekend.

672
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 1: And the one thing that stood out to me when

673
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 1: the Top fifty was like shock was like in this

674
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:28,240
Speaker 1: second or third year and he was already a top

675
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 1: fifty player. And so it'll be interesting to see how

676
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 1: they remake this list because there are a lot of

677
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 1: current players that need to be a top seventy five

678
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 1: player all time and a lot of them are playing

679
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 1: still today that I will put in the top seventy

680
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 1: five all time. Jack. What the NBA do for your

681
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 1: your life, your career and in georgs his open post

682
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 1: career ship to Sugar changed my life, my family life. Uh,

683
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 1: just playing a game of basketball. You know what I mean,

684
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 1: you're playing the game. It changed my life. Opened a

685
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:03,000
Speaker 1: lot of doors from me, um to be able to

686
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 1: do things, you know, like we're doing that. We have

687
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 1: the basketball, you know what I mean. So you know,

688
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 1: and then they basically did the same thing for everybody

689
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 1: to come from the areas we come from, you know,

690
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 1: change our lives, change our family lives, and gives us

691
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 1: opportunity to do other things in life. Yeah, I mean,

692
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 1: obviously the journey, the relationships, the doors is opened. Um

693
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 1: to think we got to to to play a sport

694
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 1: we got we played as a kid for a career,

695
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 1: I mean, to make make money off it and and

696
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 1: now still living a dream. So definitely a lot to

697
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:37,719
Speaker 1: the NBA. How has the game changed? Obviously we had

698
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 1: the seventies, we had the eighties is obviously when we

699
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 1: kind of came into picture as far as fans the

700
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 1: nineties with the Bulls and the type of play we

701
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 1: all came into the late late nineties early two thousands,

702
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 1: which was a certain type of play. To where the

703
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 1: game is today, How do you feel like the game

704
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 1: has changed over the years since you were a fan

705
00:33:56,680 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 1: to where it is now? Well, the players are definitely

706
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 1: more skilled. You know, they're way more skilled, never than

707
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 1: I imagine that I'll be seeing seven foot or shooting

708
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 1: threes at this rate, getting ten assins at this rate.

709
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 1: They shoot the ball way better. And that's just the

710
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:17,359
Speaker 1: involvement of the game when you look at it over

711
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:19,799
Speaker 1: the years. How they're just evolving again, you know, and

712
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 1: a lot of us to say, you know, it's softer

713
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 1: and and the way the game is called. But they're

714
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 1: more skilled players more um, they're they're the i q

715
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 1: s is off the chart, and you're gonna continue to

716
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:34,279
Speaker 1: see the game evolved to what level next? Because when

717
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 1: I look at as a whole, when you see guys

718
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:38,799
Speaker 1: seven foot bringing the ball up, think about that when

719
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 1: you came in or think about that growing up. The

720
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 1: big man never even put the ball on the ground

721
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 1: to where they're shooting threes now, and so I love

722
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 1: the direction the game is going. We got young stars,

723
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 1: but the European players they're taking over the league. You

724
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:58,799
Speaker 1: might have translated into a European game. If you think

725
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:00,880
Speaker 1: about the top five player, there's three of them might

726
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:03,879
Speaker 1: be European. And that just shows you how the game

727
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 1: is involved around the world. M HM. Thoughts of how

728
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:10,720
Speaker 1: the game is changing your opinion from your your style

729
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:12,919
Speaker 1: of players, how the game is played today. The game

730
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 1: is definitely faster, like I agree with and for the

731
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:19,360
Speaker 1: most part, like these players are way more skilled shooting

732
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:23,880
Speaker 1: one leg threes and like like just the way the

733
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 1: game has advanced and the different way these guys are

734
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,880
Speaker 1: working out and preparing for the game and the drills

735
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:32,080
Speaker 1: and stuff that they're doing now is totally different when

736
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 1: we was coming up. So I just think the preparation

737
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 1: that they're doing to play these games and and to

738
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 1: get better as a basketball player has changed to make

739
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 1: the game change. We came into where obviously late nineties

740
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 1: early two thousand's we caught the end of a really

741
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 1: physical defensive era to we were still able to play

742
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:53,799
Speaker 1: some type of defense. Obviously, defenses is few and far

743
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 1: between um these days. Thoughts on that part of the game.

744
00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:00,439
Speaker 1: But then also I feel like the game has grown

745
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:02,759
Speaker 1: because there is more scoring, there is more threes, there

746
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 1: is more dunk So we used to have games that were,

747
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 1: you know, eighty nine, seventy eight, you know, battle grinders.

748
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 1: Now games are up to where they're at now. Thoughts

749
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:14,399
Speaker 1: on how the defense has kind of gone out the door,

750
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 1: but again the game and started to expand because of

751
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:19,719
Speaker 1: all the offensive highlights. You can't touch nobody anymore. I

752
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 1: I really don't like that product. I like the physical

753
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 1: me personally. I like because it hypens up the competitive side.

754
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 1: You know what I mean. If you know that you

755
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 1: can go out there and Billy, if it's gonna defense,

756
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,319
Speaker 1: to compete and try to shut somebody down, and knowing

757
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:35,799
Speaker 1: you're not gonna be out the game in the first

758
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 1: quarter for two quick files, you know what I'm saying,

759
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:40,960
Speaker 1: That the competition goes hi you. But at the same time,

760
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:44,360
Speaker 1: I don't know too many guys in the league. And

761
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 1: I'm not saying everybody, but I don't know too many

762
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:47,759
Speaker 1: guys in the league that's going out there to try

763
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:50,239
Speaker 1: to stop somebody today anyway, you know what I mean.

764
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:52,880
Speaker 1: So it was different from my time. Yeah, I agree

765
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:57,400
Speaker 1: completely with you. Stack Uh, it's less competitive. And to me,

766
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,440
Speaker 1: even though they're more skilled, the way I look at

767
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 1: it as almost as if the league has become a business.

768
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:05,919
Speaker 1: You know, the money guys. When you got guys making

769
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:09,480
Speaker 1: two D three hundred million. You know, now you've got

770
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:12,480
Speaker 1: low management. It's like I gotta protect my brand, I

771
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:15,439
Speaker 1: gotta protect my body. And it's making it a little more,

772
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 1: little little less competitive. I mean, like we prided ourselves

773
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:24,960
Speaker 1: and playing every game. It's like now if you have

774
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:28,399
Speaker 1: a small thy bruise, it's like, hold on, I can't

775
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 1: go out there like that. And that's the it's not

776
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:35,440
Speaker 1: as competitive. And but we've made it that way. I

777
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:38,239
Speaker 1: don't like it because think about this, when I look

778
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 1: at the league, how many competitive like think about a

779
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:43,720
Speaker 1: competitive When I say competitive, it's only a few guys.

780
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:49,279
Speaker 1: To me, Pat Beverley, I say, Draymond Green, I throw

781
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 1: Westbrook in there, Anti to Coompo, and then I can't.

782
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:55,239
Speaker 1: I can't even think of a fifth. These are just

783
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:59,000
Speaker 1: my top five, okay, Jimmy Butler top five most competitive

784
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:02,399
Speaker 1: in the league. Where it's like in our you got

785
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 1: three of them right just sitting right here. Yeah, that's

786
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 1: you know right now, I can't even think of ten

787
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 1: guys when I say, damn he competitive is is here? Man?

788
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 1: It's a business different. But again you have to left behind.

789
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:22,680
Speaker 1: It's like it's like it's a position like Okay, you

790
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 1: play guard, you play competitive because you're gonna be done

791
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:28,840
Speaker 1: when to play. But that's why you see kind of

792
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:30,680
Speaker 1: the last of a dying breeze with p J. Tucker

793
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:33,879
Speaker 1: maybe Trevor Reason, like the last of kind of our

794
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 1: guys that were kind of hanging on where you really

795
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 1: got to lock in and that was your job and

796
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:40,440
Speaker 1: you took pride. And then today it's more you know

797
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 1: about you score I score types. Not that they're not trying,

798
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:45,120
Speaker 1: because they are, but it's just not a there's not

799
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:47,279
Speaker 1: a focus on it and the way the game is

800
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:49,160
Speaker 1: called you, if there was a focus on it, you

801
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:52,480
Speaker 1: wouldn't be able to be effective in it. So moving on,

802
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:56,480
Speaker 1: next up our segment on the Radar presented by DraftKings,

803
00:38:57,280 --> 00:39:01,799
Speaker 1: odds on favorite to win a championship this year and

804
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:06,000
Speaker 1: dark Horses so odds to favorite. Let's go from the

805
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:09,600
Speaker 1: top Brooklyn is at a plus two hundred, next with

806
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:12,440
Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Lakers at a plus four hundred. The

807
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 1: defending champs, the Bucks are at a plus nine hundred.

808
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:18,160
Speaker 1: Surprising right here for us. We were talking about this before,

809
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:22,240
Speaker 1: Golden State at the plus eleven hundred, uh, the Jazz

810
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 1: plus fifteen hundred, the Clippers plus seventeen hundred, Phoenix seventeen hundred,

811
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:32,920
Speaker 1: Philly so on, Denver plus two thousand, um, all the

812
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:36,800
Speaker 1: way down to the Knicks at plus ten thousand. Obviously,

813
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:38,440
Speaker 1: we know health is going to be a big factor

814
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:41,880
Speaker 1: this year. The top two teams in the league Brooklyn

815
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:45,759
Speaker 1: odds on favorite Lakers plus two hundred and plus four hundred, respectively.

816
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:48,640
Speaker 1: Who are you guys taking, If you guys are betting

817
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:52,360
Speaker 1: men this year? My title favorite, I'm going with the

818
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 1: We're going with the Nets. I mean I've been even

819
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:59,319
Speaker 1: without Kyrie k d and hardness is too much. If

820
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:05,480
Speaker 1: they're healthy, I got I'm going with them. M mmmmmmmmmmmm.

821
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 1: That's all my little brothers over with us. You ain't

822
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:17,280
Speaker 1: gonna ask me the Nets going with the Nets? I'm torn,

823
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 1: you know. Obviously, being a huge Laker fan my whole life,

824
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:22,640
Speaker 1: even while as a player's Laker fan. It's hard to

825
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:25,239
Speaker 1: bet against Lebron. It's like brandany gainst Brady, right. It

826
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:27,360
Speaker 1: always something comes back to bite you in the ass.

827
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:31,840
Speaker 1: Can they stay healthy? To me, the Nets have a

828
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:35,840
Speaker 1: better chance of staying healthy because their stars are younger. Um,

829
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:37,680
Speaker 1: if they figure out how to bring Kyrie in the mix,

830
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:42,200
Speaker 1: that's just more to the fire. So the Lakers are

831
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:44,520
Speaker 1: right there for me. But I'm gonna have to take

832
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:49,759
Speaker 1: the Brooklyn Nets plus two hundred. Never thought about he

833
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:52,040
Speaker 1: might be healthy because they have a deeper team. He

834
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:56,560
Speaker 1: wanted to do as much a d He always get

835
00:40:56,640 --> 00:41:00,880
Speaker 1: hurt because he has to do so much for that team.

836
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:03,839
Speaker 1: He got a lot of people. He always get hurt

837
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:07,120
Speaker 1: because I don't think he hit his body different, you

838
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:09,000
Speaker 1: know and not. You know, he got a good friend,

839
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:11,120
Speaker 1: But I don't think he he I don't think he

840
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:14,400
Speaker 1: really just focused on the off season and the stuff

841
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:17,279
Speaker 1: away from basketball, like how we see Lebron, you know,

842
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:19,560
Speaker 1: because who takes a beating more Lebron take a beating.

843
00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:23,560
Speaker 1: But he's so conditioned. If a D follow Lebron on

844
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 1: that off season workout and what they do when they're

845
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:28,360
Speaker 1: not practicing, hitting the weights, and doing all that, I

846
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:30,399
Speaker 1: think he wouldn't see him get hurt as much. Yeah,

847
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:32,880
Speaker 1: I mean that recovery is real. Again, that's just with

848
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 1: that era to in particular, a D was kind of

849
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:37,600
Speaker 1: that first AU era where you were seeing guys coming

850
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:39,560
Speaker 1: at a young age but all getting hurt early because

851
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:41,879
Speaker 1: they had played so many AU games. Obviously, the wear

852
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:44,520
Speaker 1: and tear of the league is night and day above

853
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:47,080
Speaker 1: AU and your brief stop in college. That NBA is

854
00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 1: a grind with the travel throwing in there and the

855
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:51,960
Speaker 1: games and then and just all the ship we have

856
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:55,640
Speaker 1: to do. So if a D is healthy, it's needed

857
00:41:56,000 --> 00:42:01,680
Speaker 1: next up, best bet to win in VP, and we'll

858
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:04,480
Speaker 1: throw some dark horses in there. So they got again Luca.

859
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 1: If I'm not mistaken, it wasn't the odds on favorite

860
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 1: last year. Again, Luca at the top plus three eighty,

861
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:14,160
Speaker 1: kat At plus six hundred and beat At plus seven hundred,

862
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:18,480
Speaker 1: Janice plus nine hundred, Steph Curry plus nine hundred, Damian

863
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:22,920
Speaker 1: Lillard plus fourteen hundred, the Joker the reigning m VPS

864
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:25,600
Speaker 1: plus fifteen hundred, right there with Lebron James at the

865
00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:29,080
Speaker 1: same fifteen hundred James Harden plus two thousand, Tree Young,

866
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:34,919
Speaker 1: Devin Booker hundred eight hundred, Kauai is out Westbrook plus

867
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 1: twenty five hundred, PG three thousand, Tatum at plus three thousand,

868
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 1: and Donovan mitchelled around that out at plus three thousand.

869
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:43,799
Speaker 1: Who do you guys like? I mean, obviously, Luca is

870
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:48,040
Speaker 1: an up and coming star, gonna be the greatest European

871
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:50,719
Speaker 1: player barring injury. I think we've ever seen. Um, it's

872
00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:52,960
Speaker 1: hard to go against k d uh and beat is

873
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 1: in that mix, Greek freak, Steph went crazy, Dame always

874
00:42:56,600 --> 00:43:00,840
Speaker 1: goes crazy. Uh. Thoughts on potential MVP in dark horses,

875
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:04,640
Speaker 1: I'm going James Harden. Last year, James Hard with the

876
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:06,359
Speaker 1: one m v P. People have got hurt the way

877
00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:09,279
Speaker 1: he was averaging the triple double. Uh. He went over

878
00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:13,360
Speaker 1: the putting down back and he was winning. And you know,

879
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:15,759
Speaker 1: I remember me and g talked about it. I had

880
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 1: if you wouldn't have got hurt last year, Dog, I

881
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:18,920
Speaker 1: think he was. I think he had a good chance

882
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:20,799
Speaker 1: to winning m VP. And if the fact that if

883
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:22,960
Speaker 1: Kyrie doesn't play, he plays well without Kyrene, and that's

884
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:24,799
Speaker 1: all that's not I'm not trying to start no fund

885
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:27,839
Speaker 1: just and you gotta remember, even with Kyrie on the court,

886
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 1: he was the point guard, he was the playmaker, he

887
00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:31,640
Speaker 1: was doing all those things with Kyrie on the course.

888
00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:33,520
Speaker 1: So I got James hard I like that. It's a

889
00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 1: nice dark horse, Paul, you got for me? Uh, dark horse, no,

890
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:41,040
Speaker 1: best bet. I'm gonna go with Curry because I think

891
00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:43,760
Speaker 1: they're gonna have a better team. I think the Warriors

892
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:45,680
Speaker 1: could be a top four seed. And if he has

893
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:49,480
Speaker 1: the season this year that he had last year with

894
00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:52,279
Speaker 1: a better team, with a better team, I gotta go

895
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:55,200
Speaker 1: with Curry. And then my dark horse something going on

896
00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:59,000
Speaker 1: with Jason Tatum. Uh. If Boston could be a top team.

897
00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:02,080
Speaker 1: I've been seeing this kid get better every year, put

898
00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:07,360
Speaker 1: up multiple fifties last year. He's my dark horse. I

899
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:11,359
Speaker 1: like that. You know, normally it's tough, they say when

900
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:13,200
Speaker 1: there's you know, a group of stars, they kind of

901
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:15,400
Speaker 1: cancel each other out. Um. I don't know if that

902
00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:17,759
Speaker 1: would be the case. Um, but you know, to me,

903
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:20,600
Speaker 1: Katie is the best player in the game right now. UM,

904
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:23,680
Speaker 1: and he's the guy I'm gonna go with. UM. Love

905
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:26,160
Speaker 1: Luca just to know where their team is at. UM

906
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:29,360
Speaker 1: loved the Harden pick. I loved that would be my

907
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:31,080
Speaker 1: dark horse, Jack, and not even dark horse, to be

908
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:32,600
Speaker 1: honest with you, because like for every reason he said,

909
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:34,080
Speaker 1: he's not necessarily a dark horse. He's one of the

910
00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:37,000
Speaker 1: best players in the game. Um. Love the Jayson Tatum?

911
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:39,799
Speaker 1: Uh you know, is it is he ready to take

912
00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:41,920
Speaker 1: that team to the next step? Because it's gonna have

913
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:43,640
Speaker 1: to be on his shoulders. You know, if that team

914
00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:45,560
Speaker 1: is gonna make a step, it's gonna be on his shoulders.

915
00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:49,239
Speaker 1: With all respect to everyone else. So how is Westbrook

916
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:53,120
Speaker 1: more favorite to win m v P ver Tatum? Because

917
00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:56,120
Speaker 1: Tatum is the guy and Westbrook on on the Lakers,

918
00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:58,040
Speaker 1: it's gonna be like third or four, Bob shad d

919
00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:04,080
Speaker 1: You know that's weird. We shall see next up something different.

920
00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:06,680
Speaker 1: We haven't really done. But Jack is they're a player

921
00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:12,640
Speaker 1: in the league today that reminds you of yourself? I don't.

922
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:16,640
Speaker 1: I think the only guy that I can say that

923
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:21,719
Speaker 1: reminds me of myself is t J. Warren. I think

924
00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:25,480
Speaker 1: I said that before he really made a name for

925
00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:28,319
Speaker 1: himself in the bubble, and uh he was injel Lash.

926
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:30,160
Speaker 1: I think he broke his foot or something. But he's

927
00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:31,759
Speaker 1: a He's a guy, not just because he played for

928
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:34,120
Speaker 1: the Pacers, but he plays hard on both ends and

929
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:37,319
Speaker 1: he got a nice jump shot. Paul, I'm gonna go

930
00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:40,880
Speaker 1: with Jason Tatum. You know, you know, you remind me

931
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:42,719
Speaker 1: a lot of myself. We got the step back in

932
00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:45,360
Speaker 1: this game. He getting stronger, going to the whole whole stuff,

933
00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:48,520
Speaker 1: just like you got the mad post game. I'm gonna

934
00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:50,560
Speaker 1: go with j T. That's a good car. I like that.

935
00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:54,479
Speaker 1: Which player you know me? I'm one of those last

936
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:56,120
Speaker 1: of the breed and I think I mentioned earlier like

937
00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:58,239
Speaker 1: I'm a t A, you know, three and D Just

938
00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:00,160
Speaker 1: you know, that's why I think we were it to

939
00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:01,759
Speaker 1: last as long as we're good, because you could put

940
00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:03,279
Speaker 1: us anywhere, you know what I mean, you could plug

941
00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:05,600
Speaker 1: us in any system, any team, and we're gonna go

942
00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:07,759
Speaker 1: do our jobs. So to me, you know, Trevor is

943
00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:10,439
Speaker 1: a p. J. Tucker type player with just plugging play,

944
00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:12,520
Speaker 1: we're gonna be straight. Well you had you had a

945
00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:16,799
Speaker 1: jumper though, yeah, definitely got better. Which player do you

946
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:20,360
Speaker 1: expect to make the big leap this year? Paul? The

947
00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:26,800
Speaker 1: big lead, big lead, Damn. I'm gonna go with uh Damn.

948
00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:29,880
Speaker 1: Who's gonna make the big lead that's a good when

949
00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:32,160
Speaker 1: they gotta be somebody young who just like, who's gonna

950
00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:35,239
Speaker 1: get to the Austar. I'm gonna go Alonzo Ball. I

951
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:37,960
Speaker 1: think Alonzo Ball gonna prove a lot of people wrong.

952
00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:40,200
Speaker 1: I saw I saw some good things out of him

953
00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:42,839
Speaker 1: in preseason. The dropper looked right. He didn't win from

954
00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:48,040
Speaker 1: this ship. Now you know he he's dropper looking right.

955
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:50,080
Speaker 1: I think he got a raw deal. I think if

956
00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:52,680
Speaker 1: you think about the process and you're being from l

957
00:46:52,719 --> 00:46:56,960
Speaker 1: AE kid drafted to the Lakers and your dad writing

958
00:46:57,080 --> 00:46:59,959
Speaker 1: checks before you even steps in magic like the next

959
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:02,719
Speaker 1: great thing. I think he had a lot. So I

960
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:04,520
Speaker 1: think the first step was a great movie getting him

961
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:06,279
Speaker 1: out of l A because obviously the kid can play.

962
00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:08,520
Speaker 1: He showed flashes in New Orleans. I really think he

963
00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:11,439
Speaker 1: comes into his own in Chicago. You know he's away

964
00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:14,600
Speaker 1: from the right, from the crib um, new young team,

965
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:17,120
Speaker 1: exciting team again. He's worked on this game tremendously, so

966
00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:18,920
Speaker 1: it'll be fun to see what he's able to do

967
00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:21,759
Speaker 1: this year. Jack, anybody stick out to you to have

968
00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:24,279
Speaker 1: a breakout season this year, it's hard. I would say

969
00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:27,120
Speaker 1: if anybody will have a breakout season, I would say,

970
00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:30,920
Speaker 1: Cam Reddish. He's been hurt all that ship and when

971
00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:32,480
Speaker 1: he got a chance to play a little bit, he

972
00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:34,680
Speaker 1: was bawling out. And he's getting off to a good

973
00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:37,280
Speaker 1: star this year too. In the previas, so I say, anybody,

974
00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:40,319
Speaker 1: because I live in Atlanta, I say, Camera, all right,

975
00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:50,879
Speaker 1: what's burning is bringing a new energy in a new

976
00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:53,560
Speaker 1: vibe this season. But that comes a new segments. Secure

977
00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:55,680
Speaker 1: the bag presented to you. Buy money Line the bank

978
00:47:55,719 --> 00:47:57,799
Speaker 1: for all you hard workers out there. You deserve a

979
00:47:57,800 --> 00:47:59,719
Speaker 1: bank that's helping you secure the bag, which is why

980
00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:02,680
Speaker 1: money Line as you go to for banking, saving, crypto

981
00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:05,680
Speaker 1: and more all in one app. Checking my nap store.

982
00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:10,239
Speaker 1: All right, So what contract most bang for your buck? Uh?

983
00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:13,120
Speaker 1: Coming up? I'm a listic a handful of players with

984
00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:16,640
Speaker 1: their deals. You guys tell me, is that a secure investment?

985
00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:25,360
Speaker 1: Or would you first stop Kyla Lowry before we go

986
00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:31,120
Speaker 1: to Kyle Lowry? Is her Hall of Famer? Oh ah, championship?

987
00:48:33,480 --> 00:48:38,000
Speaker 1: Was her one or two time All Star Man. There's

988
00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:40,760
Speaker 1: a lot of guys that didn't make Hall of Fame. Like, look, okay,

989
00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:42,399
Speaker 1: hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. I don't

990
00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:45,160
Speaker 1: think so you think, Okay, I'm just gonna put it

991
00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:48,160
Speaker 1: like this, I don't think so. Mochis and Hall of

992
00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:54,440
Speaker 1: Famer Chauncey Billers not so they all belong in that.

993
00:48:54,520 --> 00:49:00,600
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Moscheese Hall of Famer, you got an all

994
00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:02,759
Speaker 1: the favorite and Kyle Lowry not a All of Fame.

995
00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:06,720
Speaker 1: I'm saying, though, Mr big Shot, you got a nickname.

996
00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:09,160
Speaker 1: Mr big Shot is not in the Hall of Fame.

997
00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:12,120
Speaker 1: That name. Come on, then I can't put Carl Lowery

998
00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:14,359
Speaker 1: in there. That's facts, that's fact. I agree with that.

999
00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:17,719
Speaker 1: Moving on, Kyle Lowry got a nice deal whether he

1000
00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:20,840
Speaker 1: goes or not. The year eight million to go to

1001
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:23,239
Speaker 1: get tanned on South Beach. Hopefully don't wear socks on

1002
00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:27,080
Speaker 1: the beats like you Jack three years eighty five millions.

1003
00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:34,120
Speaker 1: That a secure investment, Yes, sir, Yes, sir, you bring Yeah, Yeah,

1004
00:49:34,200 --> 00:49:36,680
Speaker 1: you're making somebody's experience that want to play, that's gonna

1005
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:38,560
Speaker 1: play hard, and that that's the same type of player

1006
00:49:38,560 --> 00:49:42,279
Speaker 1: as Jimmy, that has the same type of par rolly mentality.

1007
00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:45,160
Speaker 1: Team We're coming to win with some dogs out there.

1008
00:49:45,200 --> 00:49:47,319
Speaker 1: So if it's perfect, they couldn't find a better point

1009
00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:49,719
Speaker 1: guard to fit in with those. That's good value. That's

1010
00:49:49,719 --> 00:49:54,000
Speaker 1: good value. Not the best value based on the offseason signings,

1011
00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:56,840
Speaker 1: but that's good value. Bringing a bad leader a champion,

1012
00:49:57,600 --> 00:50:01,319
Speaker 1: Uh get a little so body who's gonna stabilize the

1013
00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:04,600
Speaker 1: locker room a little more with Jimmy, it's a good value.

1014
00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:08,600
Speaker 1: Next up, LUNs of ball cashed in this offseason four

1015
00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:14,359
Speaker 1: years eighty million Paul Secure Investment, Secure Investment. Like I said,

1016
00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:16,879
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna take the biggest leap. I think

1017
00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:21,160
Speaker 1: he's gonna be recognized as um a very good point

1018
00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:23,879
Speaker 1: guard somewhere along the lines, you know where I see

1019
00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:26,000
Speaker 1: his kind of career going towards like a Drew Holiday

1020
00:50:26,040 --> 00:50:29,480
Speaker 1: type career. You know, people we underrated Drew Holiday for

1021
00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:32,359
Speaker 1: so many years. You know, a guy who hasn't been

1022
00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:34,759
Speaker 1: to the All Star Game multiple years, but he's one

1023
00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:37,359
Speaker 1: of the most respected point guards, like guys like him

1024
00:50:37,360 --> 00:50:40,480
Speaker 1: and Mike Conley. I think Alonso is gonna fall into

1025
00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:44,319
Speaker 1: that category. Really good player, really didn't get the get

1026
00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:47,120
Speaker 1: to that All Star level, but he's gonna be right

1027
00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:49,960
Speaker 1: there right there. Definitely someone too that that they plays

1028
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:51,680
Speaker 1: both sides of the ball. People forgot how I mean

1029
00:50:51,719 --> 00:50:54,719
Speaker 1: he was picking up full court really, you know, making

1030
00:50:54,719 --> 00:50:57,839
Speaker 1: people work Jack Lunds of ball four years, eighty million,

1031
00:50:57,880 --> 00:51:01,000
Speaker 1: secure investment. Yeah, great pick up for them, something they needed,

1032
00:51:01,160 --> 00:51:02,959
Speaker 1: you know, he got. He got a lot of great

1033
00:51:03,040 --> 00:51:06,160
Speaker 1: qualities as a point guard as far as knowing how

1034
00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:09,919
Speaker 1: to make plays. And also he's uh expanding his range

1035
00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:11,799
Speaker 1: with his three point balls. So I think just having

1036
00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:13,759
Speaker 1: him on the team, he's gonna take a lot of

1037
00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:15,640
Speaker 1: pressure up to those other guys. I think they are

1038
00:51:15,640 --> 00:51:17,800
Speaker 1: definitely gonna be in the playoffs with with with signing

1039
00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:22,200
Speaker 1: him over there, the margin Rosen, same team, Chicago Bulls

1040
00:51:22,239 --> 00:51:26,240
Speaker 1: three years, eighty one million, jack secure investment, great investment.

1041
00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:28,560
Speaker 1: Another compliment, you know, to the rest of the guys

1042
00:51:28,560 --> 00:51:30,040
Speaker 1: over there at the Bulls. I mean, how can you

1043
00:51:30,080 --> 00:51:31,320
Speaker 1: not add the rose and the roses and one of

1044
00:51:31,360 --> 00:51:34,959
Speaker 1: those guys you can guarantee eighteen twenty twenty three points

1045
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:37,839
Speaker 1: a game. Uh mid range. You know, I don't give

1046
00:51:38,120 --> 00:51:42,000
Speaker 1: how old you get, uh what you add to your game.

1047
00:51:42,040 --> 00:51:43,759
Speaker 1: You got a mid range shot, You're gonna last a

1048
00:51:43,760 --> 00:51:45,440
Speaker 1: long time. And he wanted the best at it. So

1049
00:51:46,080 --> 00:51:49,279
Speaker 1: and and he's reliable to I think um with him

1050
00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:53,719
Speaker 1: the contract and it's gonna be more than numbers with

1051
00:51:53,800 --> 00:51:55,600
Speaker 1: him this year than it has been in the past,

1052
00:51:55,719 --> 00:51:59,440
Speaker 1: because you're asking him to kind of play second fiddle

1053
00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:03,480
Speaker 1: to zackly Vine. But the value when he his value

1054
00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:05,239
Speaker 1: is not gonna come in number. His value is gonna

1055
00:52:05,280 --> 00:52:08,400
Speaker 1: come in, like I said, his experience, his leadership is

1056
00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:11,040
Speaker 1: gonna have to be the defensive guy that's year too. Yeah,

1057
00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:12,640
Speaker 1: but he's gonna he's gonna he's gonna have to put

1058
00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:14,680
Speaker 1: that on the you know, he's gonna teach Levine how

1059
00:52:14,719 --> 00:52:17,239
Speaker 1: to win, how to play the game, because you think

1060
00:52:17,280 --> 00:52:19,799
Speaker 1: about it, they they got a lot of similarities. You know,

1061
00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:23,719
Speaker 1: Levine got a three ball, but like they both athletic

1062
00:52:23,719 --> 00:52:25,799
Speaker 1: wing guys, and he could really show them the ropes.

1063
00:52:25,840 --> 00:52:27,720
Speaker 1: And so his value is not gonna be in his numbers,

1064
00:52:27,800 --> 00:52:30,319
Speaker 1: but just being around the guys, and he's gonna have

1065
00:52:30,440 --> 00:52:32,680
Speaker 1: nice to where hes gonna be the guy on certain

1066
00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:34,400
Speaker 1: nights and that's where his value gonna come in. That.

1067
00:52:34,560 --> 00:52:36,560
Speaker 1: I definitely think his value along with what you guys

1068
00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:38,560
Speaker 1: said in the playoffs. You mean, he's someone who's been

1069
00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:40,959
Speaker 1: there and this is a very young team that hasn't

1070
00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:43,440
Speaker 1: really experienced playoffs success though, so you know, to be

1071
00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:46,359
Speaker 1: to be the vet on this team is definitely gonna

1072
00:52:46,360 --> 00:52:50,880
Speaker 1: serve him good. I agree, uh, Evan four and four years,

1073
00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:55,200
Speaker 1: seventy three million dollars to the New York Knicks. P

1074
00:52:56,200 --> 00:53:00,680
Speaker 1: secure investment. I think so because you know, normally I

1075
00:53:00,719 --> 00:53:04,040
Speaker 1: wouldn't think so, but since you know there's a premium

1076
00:53:04,040 --> 00:53:06,840
Speaker 1: on shooting in this league, you gotta need guys to

1077
00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:08,520
Speaker 1: shoot the three, and you know, if you can knock

1078
00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:11,200
Speaker 1: down some three, you're gonna get it back. And that's

1079
00:53:11,239 --> 00:53:15,520
Speaker 1: definitely what he does. Play well in the Olympics. The

1080
00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:18,000
Speaker 1: type of money is getting doesn't warrant that contract. I

1081
00:53:18,040 --> 00:53:21,799
Speaker 1: don't know, not the best value, but I get it,

1082
00:53:22,160 --> 00:53:24,480
Speaker 1: you know, based on they need more spacing for Rando

1083
00:53:24,640 --> 00:53:28,520
Speaker 1: and r J and sou. Not a bad investment, but

1084
00:53:28,600 --> 00:53:31,879
Speaker 1: not the best. Yeah, at all. I'm not secure at all.

1085
00:53:32,160 --> 00:53:34,160
Speaker 1: I mean you want to You're coming off that money

1086
00:53:34,239 --> 00:53:36,279
Speaker 1: right now with the young guys you got, and you're

1087
00:53:36,280 --> 00:53:37,839
Speaker 1: trying to build around. You need to, like you said,

1088
00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:40,120
Speaker 1: you need another star. You need somebody else that that's

1089
00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:42,520
Speaker 1: been around, that's that wasn't stared but kind of diminishing

1090
00:53:42,520 --> 00:53:44,880
Speaker 1: a little bit, and stidn't come in and help change

1091
00:53:44,920 --> 00:53:47,000
Speaker 1: things or the outlook at this team. You know what

1092
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:49,920
Speaker 1: I'm saying, you bringing somebody in that nobody's gonna listen to.

1093
00:53:50,320 --> 00:53:53,120
Speaker 1: Nobody's going I'm just being real, nobody's gonna listen to,

1094
00:53:53,160 --> 00:53:55,359
Speaker 1: nobody's gonna respect. And he's not the type of guy

1095
00:53:55,360 --> 00:53:57,040
Speaker 1: that's gonna come in and be the leader of that team.

1096
00:53:57,320 --> 00:53:58,759
Speaker 1: You know, I'm saying, you need somebody to come in

1097
00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:01,800
Speaker 1: that deck and stand, uh, stand next shoulder to shoulder

1098
00:54:01,840 --> 00:54:03,160
Speaker 1: with a round them, you know what I mean, be

1099
00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:05,480
Speaker 1: the leader. Not somebody's gonna come in and just walk

1100
00:54:05,560 --> 00:54:07,480
Speaker 1: around and don't say nothing, you know what I'm saying.

1101
00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:11,080
Speaker 1: So I think I think, you know, you gotta sign somebody.

1102
00:54:11,120 --> 00:54:12,799
Speaker 1: You gotta spend that money. But I think they could

1103
00:54:12,800 --> 00:54:14,839
Speaker 1: have got something else for that for seventy three million.

1104
00:54:14,840 --> 00:54:17,080
Speaker 1: Speaking of Randall, he signed a four year extension for

1105
00:54:17,160 --> 00:54:20,759
Speaker 1: a hundred and seventeen million. UH most improved Player last year.

1106
00:54:21,200 --> 00:54:24,000
Speaker 1: Uh took the team to the playoffs. Didn't play well

1107
00:54:24,040 --> 00:54:26,160
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, but I'm sure that's that first time

1108
00:54:26,239 --> 00:54:28,960
Speaker 1: Jitter looked at him to bounce back this year. Jack

1109
00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:31,880
Speaker 1: without a secure investment. Yeah, I mean, he deserved it.

1110
00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:34,319
Speaker 1: He earned that money, you know, man, he watched you

1111
00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:36,279
Speaker 1: out to the playoffs. And all that, But at the

1112
00:54:36,320 --> 00:54:41,560
Speaker 1: same time, you got to understand how much more can

1113
00:54:41,600 --> 00:54:44,480
Speaker 1: he grow? How much more can his game? Bro? You

1114
00:54:44,480 --> 00:54:46,040
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. We've been watching around it for

1115
00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:47,840
Speaker 1: a minute now, you know what I'm saying, And I

1116
00:54:47,840 --> 00:54:49,919
Speaker 1: don't I don't know if if his game has really changed,

1117
00:54:49,920 --> 00:54:51,799
Speaker 1: But I just think he just got a better opportunity

1118
00:54:52,200 --> 00:54:54,480
Speaker 1: in the in the next organization to be that guy

1119
00:54:54,520 --> 00:54:56,480
Speaker 1: to get the ball and get more shots. But I

1120
00:54:56,600 --> 00:54:59,279
Speaker 1: think this game has changed so and I think his

1121
00:54:59,400 --> 00:55:01,720
Speaker 1: jumper got matter. But I'm just saying it hasn't changed

1122
00:55:01,880 --> 00:55:03,759
Speaker 1: drastically like that, you know what I'm saying. So at

1123
00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:06,040
Speaker 1: this point, Okay, you're paying him. He deserved the money.

1124
00:55:06,040 --> 00:55:08,480
Speaker 1: Where is he gonna what's the next level for him?

1125
00:55:08,719 --> 00:55:09,920
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. Is he gonna get to

1126
00:55:09,920 --> 00:55:11,680
Speaker 1: that next level in the next four years? No? No,

1127
00:55:12,080 --> 00:55:14,719
Speaker 1: you know, he will never be a one A superstar,

1128
00:55:15,320 --> 00:55:17,719
Speaker 1: you know, and we understand that. But he made the

1129
00:55:17,760 --> 00:55:20,799
Speaker 1: All Star team last year. But he's a good compliment

1130
00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:26,120
Speaker 1: to that one and that's why wasn't sign You know

1131
00:55:26,120 --> 00:55:30,400
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. What you think about I like Randall?

1132
00:55:30,560 --> 00:55:32,840
Speaker 1: I as I said earlier, I think he's a great

1133
00:55:33,040 --> 00:55:35,279
Speaker 1: one B. I think if you have some one B

1134
00:55:35,440 --> 00:55:37,520
Speaker 1: and then possibly a four year as your third option

1135
00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:39,640
Speaker 1: type two, you gotta you know, you got Kimba in

1136
00:55:39,680 --> 00:55:41,440
Speaker 1: that mix, obviously, but I think they get that one

1137
00:55:41,520 --> 00:55:43,759
Speaker 1: A and take some pressure off, because I think that's

1138
00:55:43,760 --> 00:55:45,320
Speaker 1: what got to him last year, was that pressure me

1139
00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:46,839
Speaker 1: and the guy that knowing that he had to put

1140
00:55:46,840 --> 00:55:48,880
Speaker 1: the team on his back, he wasn't ready for it.

1141
00:55:48,920 --> 00:55:50,400
Speaker 1: But I looked him again. I liked him a lot.

1142
00:55:50,440 --> 00:55:53,160
Speaker 1: Look from the bounce back. Next step, last, and not

1143
00:55:53,400 --> 00:55:57,880
Speaker 1: least Michael Porter jr. Um surprising to some. I'm a

1144
00:55:57,880 --> 00:55:59,440
Speaker 1: big fan of this kid. But he got a five

1145
00:55:59,520 --> 00:56:02,240
Speaker 1: year one seventy two with the possible two oh seven

1146
00:56:02,320 --> 00:56:08,160
Speaker 1: max rookie extension, uh Paul secure investment. Yeah, because you're

1147
00:56:08,160 --> 00:56:11,560
Speaker 1: basing this off his potential, and he got superstar potention.

1148
00:56:12,239 --> 00:56:14,640
Speaker 1: I mean, right now, he reminds me of a poor

1149
00:56:14,680 --> 00:56:18,759
Speaker 1: Man's k D. I mean he's six ten. Wow, he's

1150
00:56:18,840 --> 00:56:25,319
Speaker 1: athletic poor Man's k D. I mean, you know you

1151
00:56:25,320 --> 00:56:34,719
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. He's six tiens. We think athletic.

1152
00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:38,560
Speaker 1: He gotta work on this. He's creating his own shot.

1153
00:56:38,680 --> 00:56:43,160
Speaker 1: But he athletic. He's six ten's jumper. He's a stretch four.

1154
00:56:43,239 --> 00:56:46,439
Speaker 1: You can play him at the five, the three too,

1155
00:56:46,960 --> 00:56:49,160
Speaker 1: if he gets some kind of handle, because Kate didn't

1156
00:56:49,160 --> 00:56:51,879
Speaker 1: have that handle coming in. That's why I said, poor

1157
00:56:51,960 --> 00:56:55,479
Speaker 1: Man's the potential is there. You know, everybody don't reach

1158
00:56:55,520 --> 00:56:59,600
Speaker 1: their potential, you know, like poor Man's. Don't mean he's

1159
00:56:59,600 --> 00:57:03,160
Speaker 1: gonna be KD, but he got those type of tools.

1160
00:57:03,800 --> 00:57:05,520
Speaker 1: What do you think? I think? Um, Like you said,

1161
00:57:05,520 --> 00:57:07,560
Speaker 1: the potential, what he what he's done, what you've seen

1162
00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:10,080
Speaker 1: he can do. He earned that money, deserved him. Mother.

1163
00:57:10,120 --> 00:57:13,879
Speaker 1: At the same time, he is not the toughest. He's

1164
00:57:13,880 --> 00:57:15,640
Speaker 1: been hurt a lot, you know what I'm saying, And

1165
00:57:16,120 --> 00:57:18,560
Speaker 1: I think the moments where they needed him most to

1166
00:57:18,640 --> 00:57:22,040
Speaker 1: step up was when Murray was down and he couldn't

1167
00:57:22,080 --> 00:57:25,280
Speaker 1: be that player consistently. He said, I think, but this

1168
00:57:25,360 --> 00:57:28,080
Speaker 1: is his first time in that spot. He was his

1169
00:57:28,120 --> 00:57:30,480
Speaker 1: first time in that spot. To Jack, I get you

1170
00:57:30,480 --> 00:57:32,040
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. I get it, I get it.

1171
00:57:32,480 --> 00:57:36,200
Speaker 1: So but not stepping up to the place, stepping up

1172
00:57:36,200 --> 00:57:39,680
Speaker 1: to that big moment, you know what I'm saying. Look

1173
00:57:39,720 --> 00:57:44,120
Speaker 1: at Cole he air ball, no question all We're not

1174
00:57:44,120 --> 00:57:47,840
Speaker 1: going fair. You gotta go. You gotta go through being

1175
00:57:47,840 --> 00:57:50,640
Speaker 1: a young time, first time on that stage and young

1176
00:57:50,760 --> 00:57:52,720
Speaker 1: you gotta you gotta go through the fan of him,

1177
00:57:52,720 --> 00:57:55,040
Speaker 1: I think to me, I think he's uh, you know,

1178
00:57:55,720 --> 00:57:58,120
Speaker 1: I see some tea making him some tea mack as

1179
00:57:58,120 --> 00:57:59,720
Speaker 1: far as that, you know, the way he shoots, the

1180
00:57:59,720 --> 00:58:02,360
Speaker 1: way it's up on the shooters athletes, explosive this when

1181
00:58:02,440 --> 00:58:04,760
Speaker 1: gets to the basket. Uh. If he wants to lock

1182
00:58:04,840 --> 00:58:07,120
Speaker 1: in on defense, to me, that that's the next step. Obviously,

1183
00:58:07,120 --> 00:58:09,360
Speaker 1: continue involves the offensive game, but he has the tools

1184
00:58:09,360 --> 00:58:11,959
Speaker 1: to be a six ten stopper on that wing along

1185
00:58:11,960 --> 00:58:24,439
Speaker 1: with Aaron Gordon, which I think it's gonna take their Broy,

1186
00:58:24,520 --> 00:58:26,439
Speaker 1: I'm sorry I didn't say nothing about your twin brother,

1187
00:58:26,440 --> 00:58:30,680
Speaker 1: Patrick Beverly away Man, we love you, but I just

1188
00:58:30,720 --> 00:58:32,959
Speaker 1: ain't saying nothing about you, Jack Man. I ain't saying

1189
00:58:32,960 --> 00:58:41,160
Speaker 1: nothing about you, nothing about your twin today, Brodaa's come on,

1190
00:58:41,720 --> 00:58:47,040
Speaker 1: I love you, Come on next up man, one of

1191
00:58:47,040 --> 00:58:49,720
Speaker 1: our favorite segments. Jack, you can kick this off. We

1192
00:58:49,800 --> 00:58:54,200
Speaker 1: got fan questions, alright, first fan question offseason, Dot Randazy,

1193
00:58:54,440 --> 00:58:56,720
Speaker 1: how do you think Clay Thompson is going to play

1194
00:58:57,080 --> 00:59:00,000
Speaker 1: this season after coming off to consecutive season and didn't

1195
00:59:00,080 --> 00:59:03,800
Speaker 1: injuries twist him. I'm nervous because, as we see, normally

1196
00:59:03,800 --> 00:59:05,800
Speaker 1: when you come back from one there there's a lot

1197
00:59:05,840 --> 00:59:08,800
Speaker 1: of nagging stuff that happens. You know. He came back

1198
00:59:08,880 --> 00:59:13,160
Speaker 1: off the uh, the knee and then toward his achilles.

1199
00:59:13,160 --> 00:59:16,120
Speaker 1: So hopefully we're not doing this drastic of injuries. But

1200
00:59:16,160 --> 00:59:18,320
Speaker 1: normally when you're coming back off stuff like that, something

1201
00:59:18,320 --> 00:59:20,520
Speaker 1: else starts to nag. So I hope that he you know,

1202
00:59:20,560 --> 00:59:22,880
Speaker 1: he's took a long time. We haven't seen Clay and

1203
00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:26,080
Speaker 1: we almost three years. Its been a minute to and

1204
00:59:26,080 --> 00:59:28,400
Speaker 1: a half, you know what I mean. So it's like

1205
00:59:28,400 --> 00:59:30,000
Speaker 1: like for me, for him riding a bike, it's like

1206
00:59:30,120 --> 00:59:32,880
Speaker 1: riding a bike. He just shoot right. He ain't never

1207
00:59:32,960 --> 00:59:35,200
Speaker 1: losing that, Like we always want to to ride a bike.

1208
00:59:35,240 --> 00:59:37,439
Speaker 1: I cannot ride a bike, But ten years I'm still

1209
00:59:37,480 --> 00:59:39,800
Speaker 1: not a rod. He always gonna be able to agree. Well,

1210
00:59:39,920 --> 00:59:42,320
Speaker 1: his his his his role is so fine tuned. My

1211
00:59:42,320 --> 00:59:45,480
Speaker 1: my question is he was an underrated defensive player. He

1212
00:59:45,560 --> 00:59:47,640
Speaker 1: took a lot of pressure off stuff. He's always guarding

1213
00:59:47,640 --> 00:59:49,600
Speaker 1: the best player of the Dames. To see Jays that

1214
00:59:49,960 --> 00:59:52,240
Speaker 1: you name him, he was guarding him will he still

1215
00:59:52,240 --> 00:59:54,440
Speaker 1: be able to move latterly? Again, I'm a big fan

1216
00:59:54,480 --> 00:59:56,520
Speaker 1: of Clay again his leg and like pasted, this game

1217
00:59:56,600 --> 00:59:58,840
Speaker 1: is so specific, but he's so good at it. Can

1218
00:59:58,920 --> 01:00:00,480
Speaker 1: he get back there? I think he in, But I'm

1219
01:00:00,480 --> 01:00:03,600
Speaker 1: just hoping he's I think that's gonna be where you're

1220
01:00:03,640 --> 01:00:06,280
Speaker 1: gonna take a hit that defensively, you know, when you

1221
01:00:06,320 --> 01:00:09,280
Speaker 1: go through a c L S and Achilles can, you

1222
01:00:09,320 --> 01:00:11,840
Speaker 1: ain't gonna move the same. You can't move the same.

1223
01:00:11,840 --> 01:00:14,480
Speaker 1: I mean, that's where you're gonna take as big as here.

1224
01:00:14,560 --> 01:00:16,280
Speaker 1: But shooting the ball, he's still gonna be able to

1225
01:00:16,280 --> 01:00:20,040
Speaker 1: do that. Next step was a NAS thirty five underscore.

1226
01:00:20,520 --> 01:00:22,920
Speaker 1: Do you think the Nets can win a championship without

1227
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:26,480
Speaker 1: Kyrie Paul? Without a question? You got the best duel

1228
01:00:26,480 --> 01:00:28,840
Speaker 1: in the league. James Harden, who was an MVP candidate

1229
01:00:28,920 --> 01:00:32,440
Speaker 1: this year, gonna be an MVP candidate. I mean he

1230
01:00:32,520 --> 01:00:34,960
Speaker 1: was a MVP candidate last year, will be again this year.

1231
01:00:35,200 --> 01:00:37,880
Speaker 1: And k D is arguably the best player in the game.

1232
01:00:38,280 --> 01:00:42,320
Speaker 1: That's more than enough to win the championship. Agreed at

1233
01:00:42,360 --> 01:00:46,960
Speaker 1: BAM underscore Rubble and this is to you stack which

1234
01:00:47,120 --> 01:00:50,800

Speaker 1: Which NBA player will be a first time All Star?

1236

1237
01:01:01,400 --> 01:01:03,600
Speaker 1: make it last year. He hasn't made the All Star teams.

1238
01:01:03,840 --> 01:01:07,680
Speaker 1: He I'm around. I go with John Muran because I

01:01:19,600 --> 01:01:26,439

1301
01:05:05,760 --> 01:05:08,360
Speaker 1: he's a he's a better leader on the court. But

1302
01:05:08,520 --> 01:05:12,520
Speaker 1: as far as putting two players on the court, who's

1303

1307
01:05:31,720 --> 01:05:33,959
Speaker 1: they both got to the finals. And that's what's gonna

1308
01:05:33,960 --> 01:05:36,920
Speaker 1: be interesting. This is what's gonna be interesting. Where do

1309
01:05:37,040 --> 01:05:39,680
Speaker 1: you gonna rank those two all times they do or

1310
01:05:39,720 --> 01:05:42,720
Speaker 1: don't win? Like as afterday they both went to the finals.

1311
01:05:43,200 --> 01:05:46,240
Speaker 1: Brodie got an m v P. They called him brody

1312
01:05:46,320 --> 01:05:50,080
Speaker 1: baby Oscar. Who are they calling Chris? And so are

1313
01:05:50,080 --> 01:05:53,160
Speaker 1: you saying that Westbrook all time is better than christ

1314
01:05:53,280 --> 01:05:57,080
Speaker 1: Just I just made a statement. That's all you are

1315
01:05:57,880 --> 01:06:00,840
Speaker 1: and all time rest above CP and all time rankings

1316
01:06:01,080 --> 01:06:05,080
Speaker 1: and all time rankings. You got west Brush, Do you

1317
01:06:05,080 --> 01:06:09,520
Speaker 1: have Rust ahead of CP and your all time rankings? No,

1318
01:06:10,000 --> 01:06:13,880
Speaker 1: I wouldn't do that. What is your own your argument?

1319
01:06:13,880 --> 01:06:17,960
Speaker 1: The last time? This is what I'm saying, is CPS

1320
01:06:20,080 --> 01:06:26,920
Speaker 1: rest kind of players who CP is as a player, CPS,

1321
01:06:26,960 --> 01:06:29,160
Speaker 1: we were respected. He's gonna be a Hall of famer

1322
01:06:29,240 --> 01:06:31,440
Speaker 1: all ever, CP really want nothing. What is he done

1323
01:06:31,440 --> 01:06:33,960
Speaker 1: for y'all? Just to put him above Rust? But you

1324
01:06:34,000 --> 01:06:36,240
Speaker 1: just said you would put CP above Russ in the

1325
01:06:36,240 --> 01:06:40,640
Speaker 1: all time rankings, all time rankings, because resting a notch's

1326
01:06:40,680 --> 01:06:44,640
Speaker 1: creal over Chris create the over Rust is knocking on

1327
01:06:44,640 --> 01:06:49,400
Speaker 1: the door to Rust. The rest Russ is gonna be

1328
01:06:50,320 --> 01:06:54,840
Speaker 1: three the triple double face of basketball when he was tired.

1329
01:06:55,080 --> 01:06:59,280
Speaker 1: Chris is gonna be a group point going. That's all claim,

1330
01:06:59,400 --> 01:07:05,560
Speaker 1: even Jackie up, all right, that's the truth though, right, Um,

1331
01:07:05,720 --> 01:07:10,560
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a hall of fame. Yeah for sure.

1332
01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:13,919
Speaker 1: I mean, just like you know, Williams is the face

1333
01:07:13,960 --> 01:07:19,920
Speaker 1: of the sixth man who lou Will lou Will Will

1335
01:07:25,480 --> 01:07:28,200
Speaker 1: it was Jamal now is lou Willy? But I think

1336
01:07:28,360 --> 01:07:36,400
Speaker 1: he got four now Mr underscore, Polo cash masview Matt

1337
01:07:36,560 --> 01:07:38,439
Speaker 1: Who's going to surprise Who's gonna be a surprise team

1338
01:07:38,480 --> 01:07:41,439
Speaker 1: this season? Last year, my surprise season with the team

1339
01:07:41,480 --> 01:07:44,000
Speaker 1: was the Phoenix Suns. May surprised the fucking world. What's

1340
01:07:44,080 --> 01:07:51,280
Speaker 1: this this year's surprise team. I want to see what

1341
01:07:51,320 --> 01:07:55,160
Speaker 1: Memphis does. I think with the healthy Jaren Jackson, young

1342
01:07:55,880 --> 01:07:59,400
Speaker 1: pieces again marants. From year to year, development continues to go.

1343
01:08:00,040 --> 01:08:01,800
Speaker 1: I like that good young team they have over there.

1344
01:08:01,800 --> 01:08:04,680
Speaker 1: They added um the big boy from Okay see New

1345
01:08:04,800 --> 01:08:10,840
Speaker 1: Orleans Steven Adams centerpiece over there to hold sin see

1346
01:08:11,640 --> 01:08:16,000
Speaker 1: what he can do a g Joseph One. Are Kay

1347
01:08:16,080 --> 01:08:19,800
Speaker 1: cutting Ham and Jaden Green the real deal? Paul jenn

1348
01:08:19,800 --> 01:08:23,840
Speaker 1: and Green the real deal? Question question? He didn't really

1349
01:08:24,080 --> 01:08:26,280
Speaker 1: skilled player in the draft last year. He should win

1350
01:08:26,400 --> 01:08:28,439
Speaker 1: Rookie of the Year because he's gonna every have every

1351
01:08:28,479 --> 01:08:31,599
Speaker 1: opportunity in Houston because they're gonna be weak, and so

1352
01:08:31,640 --> 01:08:34,799
Speaker 1: he's gonna play all the minutes. Kay Cunningham, he's good,

1353
01:08:35,640 --> 01:08:39,439
Speaker 1: really good players should elevate the Pistons. But jann and

1354
01:08:39,479 --> 01:08:42,280
Speaker 1: Green is gonna be that dude. I'm biased to like

1355
01:08:43,120 --> 01:08:47,080
Speaker 1: wing Man's who can handle shoot stuff. He from Frasno ya,

1356
01:08:47,600 --> 01:08:49,439
Speaker 1: he from County. I got a rock at the back.

1357
01:08:51,479 --> 01:08:55,320
Speaker 1: I gotta because he has good here and I don't

1358
01:08:55,320 --> 01:08:57,280

Speaker 1: you know, we we were not you know, we haven't

1372
01:09:48,880 --> 01:09:50,720
