We'll find out 49 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 2: what has happened over the last seven days. And I'm 50 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 2: excited for that. I'm also excited about what's happened over 51 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,520 Speaker 2: the last hour as we broadcast live from the Fox 52 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,080 Speaker 2: Sports Radio studios. I don't know if this is still 53 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 2: a thing for guys your age, my age. I know 54 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 2: it's a thing. I feel like we hear so much 55 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 2: today that the world is so divisive. We can agree 56 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 2: on nothing, and I'm wondering if if maybe one of 57 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 2: the few things on which we can all agree just happened, 58 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 2: and that is when Duke loses an angel gets its wings, 59 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 2: like I still live. 60 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 3: By I don't know if people live like that anymore. 61 00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 4: I don't know, well. I do. 62 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,959 Speaker 2: Like we are of a certain generation where like the 63 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,800 Speaker 2: nation would get together to root against Duke. 64 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 3: And to have it happen that way. 65 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:14,640 Speaker 7: My god, some where Kentucky is clapping their hands. Oh man, 66 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,079 Speaker 7: some worker in Kentucky is clapping. 67 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 2: Let me throw it to you this way before we 68 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 2: can go in all different directions with this. But almost 69 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 2: kind of thought of Chris Weber, because when you have 70 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 2: a great college year and you're a big time prospect, 71 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 2: but your college career ends that way, it's gotta be tough. 72 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 3: It's gotta be tough. 73 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 2: Chris Webber goes on to have a great NBA career, 74 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 2: but for many he'll be forever known for the time 75 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 2: out that wasn't against North Carolina and my man Boozer. 76 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 2: That's a wrap on your college career. Last thing you did, 77 00:03:58,160 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 2: last thing you did. 78 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 3: Was throw away trip to the final four with five 79 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 3: seconds ago. 80 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 1: Ouch. 81 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 4: Look And and. 82 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 7: We saw it the last year with Duke and we 83 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 7: talked about it, and I was like, there's a scenario 84 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:19,479 Speaker 7: where Cooper Flag, uh and Conker Nipple and that whole group, 85 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 7: all of them playing in the pros now could have 86 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 7: ran it back. 87 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 4: Yep, Like they could have ran it back. 88 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:31,840 Speaker 7: Could you imagine, Uh, those two with Boozer and like bzer, Yeah, 89 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:37,599 Speaker 7: right with those two ands yep. And so these guys 90 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 7: are opting to leave. You can make the you can 91 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 7: make more money staying. Then in the NBA, I get it. 92 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 7: Cooper Flag is probably going to be Rookie of the 93 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 7: Year or in the running for it. But no, remember 94 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,479 Speaker 7: what I said, Yes I do, I remember this. 95 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 4: You remember It's just conversation one year ago. 96 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 3: I do. 97 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 7: And what I said, what happens when you're that cow 98 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 7: of NCAA athlete, Player of the Year, first, picking the 99 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 7: draft and all of that. The system is designed for 100 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 7: you to get to the league and disappear. 101 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 4: Depending on who has that draft pick. 102 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 7: Like, no one is talking about Cooper Flag and hasn't 103 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 7: been for the last three four months because he's stuck 104 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 7: in Dallas with no Kyrie. Anthony Davis has gone there 105 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 7: are a lottery team again, and so all of that greatness. Yes, 106 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 7: he scored forty and went on a run. Well, I 107 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,279 Speaker 7: think he scored twenty eight or more in like eight 108 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,719 Speaker 7: or some straight games. All of these things, and no 109 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:53,159 Speaker 7: one cares number one because you're not winning, and number two, 110 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,839 Speaker 7: they're bigger stars in the NBA. There's a Wimby in there. 111 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 7: There's a Joker, there's a Lebron, there's a Luca. There 112 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 7: is no air in bandwidth for you unless you're leading 113 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 7: your team as a rookie to the Promised Land. That's 114 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 7: normally not the case for the first pick in the 115 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,599 Speaker 7: draft in the NBA, normally not. And so what I 116 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,159 Speaker 7: was saying last year this time was why it'd be 117 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 7: crazy if they got together. I said, look, we're gonna 118 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 7: stay another year, already knowing your incoming class. They already 119 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:30,360 Speaker 7: knew the boozers were coming, and what that team would 120 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 7: have looked like, they would probably be undefeated right now. 121 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 2: Okay, what if I throw this at like, let me 122 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,279 Speaker 2: throw something at you that I didn't throw at you 123 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 2: last year. Do the boozers come if they know star 124 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 2: players are staying. 125 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:49,919 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think so. 126 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 1: I don't know. 127 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,479 Speaker 7: Well, look, I'll say it like this, because you don't 128 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 7: think there's a world where Carlos Boozer and Cooper Flag 129 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:00,719 Speaker 7: can play on the floor at the same time. 130 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 4: Kank Nipple is a shooter. 131 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:03,359 Speaker 3: Well, of course they can play. 132 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 4: The other Boozer. 133 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:06,720 Speaker 7: The other Boozer came off the bench. He only was 134 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 7: starting because all of the point guards got hurt. For Duke, 135 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 7: I realized that. 136 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 2: And the Boozers may not be because of their you know, 137 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 2: their lifeline. Maybe that's not a great example, but you 138 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 2: get what I'm saying. 139 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 4: You know what you're saying. 140 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, there are recruits that are like, I'm coming in 141 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 3: here to be the dude. 142 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 4: Only if so and so least. 143 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 2: Right, and if the dude like literally the number one overall. 144 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 2: Picking the draft is in my way. I don't know 145 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 2: if that's the spot for me, because I'm thinking I 146 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 2: would like to show the NBA something in my one 147 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 2: year and I don't want. 148 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 3: To play second fiddle to somebody else. 149 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 7: And and you got to remember, you know, Corey mcgetty 150 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 7: was first round draft pick. He start Yep. Kyrie Irvin 151 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 7: played nine games of college basketball, three of them in 152 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 7: the tournament. He was the first pick in the draft. 153 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 7: Like they already know that. The one year of college 154 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 7: for guys at that level is just let's get you 155 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 7: in shape and get you out there type of year 156 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 7: guys don't have. Look at uh Peterson from from Kansas, He's. 157 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 4: Like, uh, yeah, I'm not gonna play. 158 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:18,960 Speaker 7: Today, got cramp. They're like, well, okay. Then he plays 159 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 7: against AJ Debonsa and goes nuts. 160 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 3: Yep. 161 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 7: Then he doesn't play in a couple of games. Right, 162 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 7: So there is a lot of posturing and a lot 163 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 7: of I don't know, I know I'm going. So that 164 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:35,680 Speaker 7: sentiment of well if he stays I'm not going, guys 165 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 7: are really looking at it like that number one, the 166 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 7: price tag that comes along with him. Right sure, until 167 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 7: you ask me why you was it worth it was 168 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,079 Speaker 7: seven million dollars worth of AJ Debonsa, you didn't win 169 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 7: a game in the NCAA tournament, Like was it worth it? 170 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 7: Because he's out? I mean, well, well, now not necessarily 171 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 7: he may come back. Now right on the wire is 172 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,320 Speaker 7: he may be thinking about coming back, and and I 173 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 7: don't blame him. I don't blame him from that. Why 174 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 7: wouldn't he. 175 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 2: Well, if you look, I mean, if I'm Debonsa and 176 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 2: I don't even know for sure, I might be the 177 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 2: number one overall pick, but I'm certainly one of the 178 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:10,840 Speaker 2: top two or three. And if you look at the 179 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:14,600 Speaker 2: franchises that have just done a beautiful job of tanking, 180 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 2: they're a off all year long. The chances of me 181 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 2: and I again, some guys when they come out of college. 182 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 3: You know, this was the whole kaminga story in Golden State. 183 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 2: You don't want to necessarily be a top ten pick 184 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,080 Speaker 2: that goes to a contending team because they could bury you. 185 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 2: They don't like they're not going to be like go 186 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 2: develop yay, No, like they're trying to win. 187 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 3: So I get that there's different ways to look at it. 188 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:44,239 Speaker 3: At the same. 189 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:51,840 Speaker 2: Time, though, I do think certain franchises carry with them 190 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,680 Speaker 2: the habit of, well, you're tanking and you suck every year. 191 00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:58,600 Speaker 2: And I don't know if I want to be a 192 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 2: part of that. If I'm deband that, do I want 193 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 2: to be Do I want to be a Pelican? 194 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 3: Do I want a wizard? A wizard? Do I want 195 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 3: to be a net or do I want to be 196 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 3: a king? 197 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 4: None of those? 198 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 2: Problem is is I'm pretty sure they're gonna be waiting 199 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,599 Speaker 2: for you again next year, pretty sure because that is 200 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 2: what they do. That's what they do. So I don't 201 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 2: know if there's a way around it. And you're right 202 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 2: that it's now at least a conversation. I can still 203 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 2: understand the guys though, that are like, look, the league 204 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,080 Speaker 2: is calling I'm a top three pick. 205 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,600 Speaker 3: What am I trying to do?

A lot can go wrong, 210 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:42,080 Speaker 1: and you can lose that. 211 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,959 Speaker 7: Yep, let me ask you this. That's a real question. 212 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 7: The Boozer Boys are twins adjacent. I guess, okay, one 213 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 7: is a surefire top three pick. The other one is 214 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,320 Speaker 7: a second round draft pick if he decides to come 215 00:10:58,360 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 7: out of college. 216 00:10:59,160 --> 00:10:59,439 Speaker 3: Yep. 217 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:06,680 Speaker 4: Personally, I mean he should stay in college. Obviously. 218 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,840 Speaker 7: Now he got a chance to show that he can 219 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 7: play at start. When he was filling in this tournament 220 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 7: run had some good games up to scoring average from 221 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,680 Speaker 7: seven on the season to about twelve or thirteen in 222 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 7: the tournament, which is amazing. 223 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 3: Yep. 224 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 7: Now, if they're as close as we see them on 225 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 7: all the commercials together doing all the stuff together, close family, 226 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,839 Speaker 7: Carlos Boozer's wife and everybody's close. 227 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 4: What if he wants to stay in college with his brother? 228 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 4: Could happen? Not a bad gig. They got done there. 229 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,840 Speaker 2: Now if I'm not, if I'm those boys, dad put 230 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:47,680 Speaker 2: him in separate rooms. We're gonna sit down, We're gonna 231 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 2: have a conversation. 232 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,839 Speaker 7: Yeah, But the difference is their dad. Number one was 233 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:55,080 Speaker 7: a duke All American. Number two played fifteen years in 234 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 7: the league. 235 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 3: Was a lot of money. 236 00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 7: Yeah, it's completely different. Now the barometer of NBA or 237 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 7: BUS for now these second generation kids has completely changed. 238 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 7: Right now, you grew up the way you grew up, 239 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 7: You had access to the things, you had access to. 240 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 7: This need to go and change your whole social economic 241 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 7: background for your entire family is no longer there. The 242 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 7: experience is what these kids are leaning into now. The 243 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 7: experience of being on campus with your brother at a 244 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:38,680 Speaker 7: good program and what that feels like to me. If 245 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:43,320 Speaker 7: it's not about the money per se. Then now you're 246 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,560 Speaker 7: looking for the experience because you know you're going to 247 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 7: the league, sure right, and so you also believe in 248 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 7: your abilities. I don't care who coming out with me 249 00:12:53,960 --> 00:13:01,679 Speaker 7: next year, right, that's the level of of of Verbrado 250 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 7: you have to have for sure. And so knees blow up, Yeah, 251 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 7: needs blow up. I mean, but hes blow up, okay, 252 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 7: and so say okay, insurance policy blah blah blah. But 253 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 7: like I yeah, I mean yeah. 254 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 4: But you can get to the league in your rookie year. 255 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:24,959 Speaker 7: Blake Griffin broke his leg, sure right, Greg Olden, we 256 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 7: still waiting for him to play exactly, and you got nothing, 257 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 7: And so we know they're getting compensated in the millions. Yes, 258 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 7: And so the experience of being there with your brother, 259 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 7: knowing giving him another year to get better because he'll 260 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,080 Speaker 7: probably come in as a starter next year based on 261 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 7: how well he's playing it and what their recruiting class 262 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:48,720 Speaker 7: looks like. 263 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 2: You would think, No, I mean it all it all 264 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 2: comes down to what makes you tick, right, you know 265 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,079 Speaker 2: what I mean? I know it's basketball, Like I always 266 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 2: think about it, there's different You remember Marcus Lattimore with 267 00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:03,320 Speaker 2: South Carolina, Like he was just absolutely incredible football player, 268 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,839 Speaker 2: was going to be a top ten draft pick and 269 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 2: had two major major injuries in college and still got 270 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:13,439 Speaker 2: drafted in the third round but never played in the NFL, 271 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:14,320 Speaker 2: never played it down. 272 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 3: And again that's football. But like I always a different 273 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 3: it is. 274 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,480 Speaker 4: But if you had to stay, right, you had to. 275 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 2: I always think about him though, whenever it's like, hey, 276 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 2: the league will be. 277 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 3: There for you next year. 278 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 7: Maybe maybe, yeah, maybe I don't look at Michael pennis Man. 279 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,360 Speaker 7: Michael Penicks said he was on the shelf for a 280 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 7: long time. True, it's football. I try not to equate 281 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 7: college basketball with college football. There's I got so far 282 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 7: the end that you went to about the far ends 283 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 7: of the spectrum. Right one you gotta stay. The other 284 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 7: one you don't even want to stay. Like you're watching 285 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 7: guys sit out games in college because they know they're leaving. 286 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 7: And it's pretty much of five to seven million dollar 287 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 7: rental for about six months exactly. That's essentially what it 288 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 7: boils down to. And in those six months, what you're 289 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,800 Speaker 7: not gonna do is burn yourself out, no matter what 290 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 7: team you're playing for. And that's what colleges are having 291 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 7: to deal with I know Bill self was like, what 292 00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 7: is happening right now? 293 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 3: Who? 294 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 7: So you're not playing against the number one team in 295 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:25,960 Speaker 7: the country. Okay, well that's that doesn't help us. 296 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 3: Nope, nope. 297 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 7: But once you get these kids on campus, it's hard 298 00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 7: to dictate what they have. Agents, they got, managers, they 299 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 7: got all, they got that, all kinds of people telling 300 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 7: them what's best for them. So when you get a 301 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 7: group of kids who like to play and want to play, 302 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,960 Speaker 7: right the Boozer Boys that you could tell they love it. 303 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 7: They have a love for it, they love playing with 304 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 7: each other. 305 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 4: Right. 306 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 7: It didn't happen a lot this year in terms of 307 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,920 Speaker 7: being on the court and the starting lineup together, but 308 00:15:58,040 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 7: now that they got a taste of it, I think 309 00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 7: it's And look, I was wrong about Cooper flag last year. 310 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 7: I'm probably wrong about yeah coming. Yeah they coming. 311 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 4: I don't think. I don't think Caden Boozer is coming. 312 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 7: Yeah, probably not, because I don't think he wants to 313 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:18,800 Speaker 7: be a you know, fifteen Yeah, he didn't want that. 314 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 7: He doesn't want that, And so I would presume he 315 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 7: would stay. And if my brother was staying and he said, look, 316 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 7: we can run it back we can really win a 317 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,400 Speaker 7: national championship.

Yeah, Ravis Kelsey had unfinished business. How'd the 569 00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:33,600 Speaker 2: year go? 570 00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:36,760 Speaker 8: There is money in the equation now that didn't used 571 00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,920 Speaker 8: to be exist. And for example, the women's game this 572 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,160 Speaker 8: afternoon where U c l A B duke the u 573 00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:45,000 Speaker 8: c l A Star center Lauren BET's six foot seven. 574 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:48,760 Speaker 8: They got to the final four finally and got crushed. 575 00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:52,440 Speaker 8: And she decided to come back, not just because I 576 00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:55,720 Speaker 8: because she had a sister that was coming onto the 577 00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:58,320 Speaker 8: team to be her backup. And she got to play 578 00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,360 Speaker 8: a season with a sibil and a team that was 579 00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:03,520 Speaker 8: just as good this year.

I mean, my mind is 583 00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:18,720 Speaker 2: now just running through all of the unfinished business that 584 00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:21,280 Speaker 2: I don't think any of it's ever gotten finished. Matt 585 00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:26,640 Speaker 2: Lionard had unfinished business. Matt Barkley had unfinished business. Travis 586 00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:29,160 Speaker 2: Kelsey came back for unfinished business. He's going to try 587 00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:32,400 Speaker 2: now to finish the business again. Spoiler alert. He won't 588 00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:39,240 Speaker 2: like sometimes you have to swallow the pill. And how many, 589 00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:43,200 Speaker 2: especially great players in all of sports, how many of 590 00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:45,680 Speaker 2: them get to walk off into the sunset as a 591 00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:50,680 Speaker 2: Super Bowl champion or a college basketball champion or a 592 00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:53,240 Speaker 2: World Series, Like you don't you don't just get that 593 00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:54,600 Speaker 2: because you want to come back. 594 00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:58,800 Speaker 7: Yeah, and it's but you have also realized, like these 595 00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:02,520 Speaker 7: kids may go to the and never have an opportunity 596 00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:07,120 Speaker 7: to play for a championship. This is probably the closest 597 00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:10,880 Speaker 7: they'll be able to come to winning a championship of 598 00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:15,760 Speaker 7: this magnitude. Most of them won state and all of that, 599 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:20,880 Speaker 7: and the ad Made Hoops Tournament or eybl And Championship, 600 00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:25,440 Speaker 7: but on this this grand scale, like Cooper Flag may 601 00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,680 Speaker 7: never even play in the finals, as good as he's 602 00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:29,160 Speaker 7: going to. 603 00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:30,640 Speaker 3: Turn out, maybe not. 604 00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:35,440 Speaker 7: And so there's a little bit of control here that 605 00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:41,120 Speaker 7: you can you can manifest. Right like college basketball, if 606 00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:45,560 Speaker 7: you have ten of the best fifteen players in college 607 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:53,120 Speaker 7: basketball playing and everybody stays relatively healthy, do you have 608 00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:56,080 Speaker 7: a better shot to win? If I would just say this, 609 00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:02,840 Speaker 7: if the Boozer Boys are especially Cameron comes back, he'll 610 00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:06,680 Speaker 7: have a better opportunity to win a college national championship 611 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:07,719 Speaker 7: than an NBA champion. 612 00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:11,320 Speaker 2: Oh sure, I mean there's only you know, I don't know, 613 00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:14,560 Speaker 2: there's like fifteen universities out there right now that legitimately 614 00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:17,120 Speaker 2: have a chance to win college basketball championship. So if 615 00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:18,719 Speaker 2: you're on one of them, you're gonna have a shot. 616 00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:22,320 Speaker 7: So all that plays like that for me, I'm like, 617 00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:27,880 Speaker 7: if he wants to get one, then I can see it. 618 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:31,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, do you like? Do you I know what I 619 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:32,160 Speaker 3: would do? 620 00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:35,840 Speaker 2: But then again, like I don't know, like someone had 621 00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:38,080 Speaker 2: to sit down and stick the money in front of 622 00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:39,600 Speaker 2: you on a piece of paper and be like, it's 623 00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:41,400 Speaker 2: this if you do that, and it's this if you're 624 00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:43,800 Speaker 2: right there exactly, and then we'll go from there, and 625 00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:45,880 Speaker 2: then what we don't know? Yes, what makes him tick? 626 00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:47,800 Speaker 2: Maybe does want to play with his brother? 627 00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:48,600 Speaker 3: You know? 628 00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:54,800 Speaker 2: Okay, there was something else that Steve brought up that 629 00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:59,000 Speaker 2: I think that I should address with you because I 630 00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:02,560 Speaker 2: addressed it with you three weeks ago, and we put 631 00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:05,840 Speaker 2: out and we were in agreement.

I'm sure 681 00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:04,920 Speaker 2: they could beat the Wizards without him. 682 00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:07,880 Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, he gonna get his break in what 683 00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:10,000 Speaker 7: his last push down the streets. 684 00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:11,920 Speaker 3: Fair enough, fair enough. 685 00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:14,719 Speaker 2: But at the same time I was thinking about this 686 00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:16,880 Speaker 2: because you and I had a little chat about Luca 687 00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:19,319 Speaker 2: and the chatting. 688 00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,319 Speaker 3: With the refs. Yeah, like three weeks ago. 689 00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:25,160 Speaker 2: You know, the people who usually lead the league in 690 00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:29,400 Speaker 2: technical fouls, the people that often challenge sixteen technical fouls. 691 00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:33,040 Speaker 2: Your Dylan Brooks's, your Draymond Greens go back a little ways. 692 00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:36,120 Speaker 2: You're Rashid Wallace's of the world. They all have one 693 00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:38,879 Speaker 2: thing in common that's kind of their thing. 694 00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:41,120 Speaker 3: Yes, that's what they do. 695 00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:47,000 Speaker 2: They are the NBA version of an NHL enforcer. They 696 00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:51,760 Speaker 2: are overly energetic. They are borderline, if not clearly dirty, 697 00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:59,480 Speaker 2: like envelope pushers by nature, all the time, every game. 698 00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:06,279 Speaker 2: And then there's Luca who's just out here sort of 699 00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:11,560 Speaker 2: looking like he moves at half speed but can always 700 00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:14,800 Speaker 2: get that shot off and is a brilliant scorer. 701 00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:19,799 Speaker 3: I just when you love a minute to just have 702 00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:22,600 Speaker 3: one on one with Luca and go, what are you doing? 703 00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:31,359 Speaker 2: Your technical fouls don't mean anything those other players is 704 00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:35,520 Speaker 2: kind of part of their gig, And there's a method 705 00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:38,480 Speaker 2: to that madness for those players. 706 00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:41,160 Speaker 3: We don't have to like it, but it's kind of 707 00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:42,680 Speaker 3: part of what they do. 708 00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:49,840 Speaker 2: They bring that energy, that sort of vibe, They bring 709 00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:54,719 Speaker 2: that thing to their team. Luca does not. He just 710 00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:59,640 Speaker 2: goes and gets technicals because he just cannot help himself. 711 00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:03,400 Speaker 2: That's a different technical foul. 712 00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:03,680 Speaker 1: Man. 713 00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:09,200 Speaker 2: He's really got to stop, and he's great player. The 714 00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:12,719 Speaker 2: Lakers are having a great second half. I'm just trying 715 00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:15,239 Speaker 2: to figure out what's the win here? What are you 716 00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:16,880 Speaker 2: getting out of these technical fouls? 717 00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:19,440 Speaker 3: Dude? And you're still only in your mid twenties. 718 00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:24,879 Speaker 2: You're gonna wear the fans out, you really are, and 719 00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:26,240 Speaker 2: your teammates for that matter. 720 00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:32,200 Speaker 7: I think, yeah, it's true, it's true. And as a 721 00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:36,319 Speaker 7: part of his game that you know, I don't like, 722 00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:40,480 Speaker 7: I don't agree with, but it's hard not to like 723 00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:44,200 Speaker 7: a guy when on the other end of those rants 724 00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:48,000 Speaker 7: is forty three points. It's fifty points, sixty points, great player, 725 00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:53,720 Speaker 7: twelve assists, like ten rebounds, Right, So you know, would 726 00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:54,920 Speaker 7: I like him to be quiet? 727 00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:55,560 Speaker 3: Yeah? 728 00:38:56,040 --> 00:39:01,160 Speaker 7: What I like him to continue to score forty Yes? Sure, 729 00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:07,359 Speaker 7: So you gotta you know, you gotta take what you can, 730 00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:08,520 Speaker 7: You take what you take. 731 00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:12,600 Speaker 2: You know, it's just such a fake hustle, you know, 732 00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:15,440 Speaker 2: That's all I'm saying. I don't mind a technical foul, 733 00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:18,280 Speaker 2: but like, let's have a reason, let's have a reason, 734 00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:22,840 Speaker 2: not just because you literally cannot swallow the idea of 735 00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:24,799 Speaker 2: somebody actually defended you. 736 00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:28,480 Speaker 1: Somebody played defense.

At this time, 760 00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:04,440 Speaker 2: exactly seven days ago, Aphram had texted me earlier in 761 00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:11,480 Speaker 2: the day and just said, I'm on need a little space, I'm. 762 00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:14,200 Speaker 3: A little need a little room.

I coached my son at the rec League. 772 00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:45,839 Speaker 7: I think it's important for these kids to have an 773 00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:48,960 Speaker 7: opportunity to play at the rec League. It's different than 774 00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:51,520 Speaker 7: travel ball, different than AA. You cost ten dollars. Every 775 00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:53,799 Speaker 7: kid gets to sign up. Every kid has an opportunity 776 00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:56,640 Speaker 7: and a chance to play on the All Star team, 777 00:41:56,719 --> 00:41:59,520 Speaker 7: which is at the end of the winter season. It's 778 00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:04,480 Speaker 7: LA Parks and Rec's biggest tournament basketball tournament and it 779 00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:10,200 Speaker 7: ranges from nine to ten year olds with miners, eleven 780 00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:13,719 Speaker 7: to twelve year olds with majors, thirteen to fifteen year 781 00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:16,279 Speaker 7: olds with juniors and that's co rec and girls. They 782 00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:18,399 Speaker 7: have their own division as well. It's a really big 783 00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:21,479 Speaker 7: deal and it's fun for these kids who won't ever 784 00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:25,200 Speaker 7: possibly play in high school or play on a travel team, 785 00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:28,000 Speaker 7: or ken afford to play on a travel team quite frankly, 786 00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:32,000 Speaker 7: and so we entered into the tournament. We won it 787 00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:36,080 Speaker 7: last year in the miners division, had a great group 788 00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:39,439 Speaker 7: of kids including my son, my nephew were on the team. 789 00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:42,719 Speaker 7: This year we got to the championship. We lost by 790 00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:46,000 Speaker 7: seven in the championship to a team that we found 791 00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:50,600 Speaker 7: out looked a little bit different than every other wreck team. 792 00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:54,120 Speaker 7: And it's about thirty parks in the valley. We have 793 00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:58,560 Speaker 7: the biggest region, so it's pretty much a gauntlet similar 794 00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:02,120 Speaker 7: to March maddness did you have to go through to 795 00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:06,319 Speaker 7: even get to the championship game? And uh, after you know, 796 00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:09,360 Speaker 7: losing and we're there, they made the winners and the 797 00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:14,480 Speaker 7: losers have the same banquet and awards ceremony, which was weird. 798 00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:19,040 Speaker 7: We went first and I told my kids I was 799 00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:21,200 Speaker 7: proud of them, told the parents you know, thank you 800 00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:25,000 Speaker 7: for the support, and I, you know, I paid homage 801 00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:27,319 Speaker 7: to Ricky Richie Valence, which is the park we played 802 00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:29,600 Speaker 7: in the championship game, and you know, they won a game. 803 00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:31,799 Speaker 7: And then their coach came up and he had some 804 00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:36,960 Speaker 7: disparaging comments to say about the own parents at their park, 805 00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:43,359 Speaker 7: starting with their parents who whose kids didn't make the 806 00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:47,319 Speaker 7: All Star team, and they're they're pulling for us, they 807 00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:50,600 Speaker 7: were pulling for us to lose, but we're winners, ha ha, 808 00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:52,319 Speaker 7: and everybody laughed and all that, and I was like, 809 00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:55,759 Speaker 7: why that's that's that's that's a weird thing to say 810 00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:59,520 Speaker 7: in this moment like that, coming from off the top. 811 00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:02,400 Speaker 7: I didn't think anything of it. And then as he 812 00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:04,480 Speaker 7: was calling each of the kids up, I noticed that 813 00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:07,279 Speaker 7: each one of these kids had a backpack on a 814 00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:11,359 Speaker 7: uniform backpack with a team name and their number on it. 815 00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:15,440 Speaker 7: But their team name and number didn't coincide with Richie 816 00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:21,000 Speaker 7: Valen's All Star It was a travel ball team. And 817 00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:25,960 Speaker 7: I was like, wait a minute, all of these kids 818 00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:30,000 Speaker 7: play on the same travel ball team. That's a red 819 00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:30,560 Speaker 7: flag to me. 820 00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:35,120 Speaker 1: So the concrived it to me as illegal. 821 00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:39,120 Speaker 7: Yes it is if you cannot bring an entire travel 822 00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:43,000 Speaker 7: ball team to the All Stars because you don't give 823 00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:45,520 Speaker 7: other kids at the park an opportunity to make the 824 00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:48,839 Speaker 7: All Star team. That's why they don't let you do that. 825 00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:51,880 Speaker 7: I can't go start a travel ball team, sign them 826 00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:54,399 Speaker 7: up at the park, and then only pick those kids 827 00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:57,760 Speaker 7: to be on the All Star team. Because I coached 828 00:44:57,800 --> 00:45:02,440 Speaker 7: them year round and we playing tournaments every weekend. That's 829 00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:07,720 Speaker 7: tipping the competition scales, to say the loose for eleven 830 00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:10,480 Speaker 7: and twelve year olds. Mind you, this isn't college, this 831 00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:13,040 Speaker 7: isn't high school. These are kids. Some of these kids 832 00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:15,919 Speaker 7: will never play basketball outside of twelve thirteen years old. 833 00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:20,399 Speaker 7: And so I was like, oh no, this isn't right. 834 00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:23,800 Speaker 7: And then so I started putting two and two together 835 00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:27,600 Speaker 7: and I reached out to that I talked about it 836 00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:29,400 Speaker 7: on the show, and let me tell you, the response 837 00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:33,880 Speaker 7: from the show last week was overwhelming. 838 00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:35,400 Speaker 3: Not surprised. 839 00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:38,120 Speaker 7: Not only did my parents from my park here a 840 00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:42,880 Speaker 7: parents from other parks around the valley heard it and 841 00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:50,000 Speaker 7: reached out to me, me, emailed me, sent me text 842 00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:56,359 Speaker 7: messages about what was going on at that park and 843 00:45:56,400 --> 00:46:00,239 Speaker 7: what I found out from inside Richie Vllen's park, not 844 00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:05,839 Speaker 7: from me. A coach and a dad, a volunteer coach 845 00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:09,719 Speaker 7: and a dad who had a son who plays at 846 00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:12,799 Speaker 7: Richie Valence and was rated one of the top players 847 00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:17,080 Speaker 7: at Richie Valence was offered a spot on the coach's 848 00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:21,800 Speaker 7: travel team, and his mom and him declined they didn't 849 00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:24,920 Speaker 7: really care too much for the coach and that kid 850 00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:28,640 Speaker 7: didn't have an opportunity to make the all star team, 851 00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:33,120 Speaker 7: and so he sent me a nice email. I was like, Wow, 852 00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:36,920 Speaker 7: this is crazy. It just got a mom reached out 853 00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:40,480 Speaker 7: to me, Hey, just I heard your show. We've been 854 00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:42,600 Speaker 7: dealing with this at this park for quite some time. 855 00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:45,520 Speaker 7: They don't care about the kids. They're going to do 856 00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:48,560 Speaker 7: things they want to do. She sent me an email. 857 00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:52,280 Speaker 7: I took all of these emails, all of this proof 858 00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:56,799 Speaker 7: their social media account of the travel ball team, not 859 00:46:56,920 --> 00:46:59,920 Speaker 7: the park team, the travel ball team, where every single 860 00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:01,840 Speaker 7: one of those kids who played in that all Start 861 00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:07,600 Speaker 7: All Star team, there was physical proof of them playing 862 00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:14,600 Speaker 7: travel ball together. I sent all of this and then 863 00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:18,880 Speaker 7: a nice email to my park head, and then I 864 00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:22,440 Speaker 7: sent it to the district head of LA Parks for 865 00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:27,480 Speaker 7: the Rally Valley Region District. Right, that's who is going 866 00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:32,279 Speaker 7: to make a decision on this, and so he was like, hey, 867 00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:37,120 Speaker 7: I sent it out Monday. I sent all this to them, right, 868 00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:38,440 Speaker 7: I'm gonna go chronologically. 869 00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:41,000 Speaker 2: Now when you say you send it to them, are 870 00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:43,200 Speaker 2: we're still talking about your park director. 871 00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:45,520 Speaker 3: Or the district director both got it? 872 00:47:46,239 --> 00:47:48,359 Speaker 4: I mean emails. You just look them up online. It's 873 00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:49,040 Speaker 4: not hard. 874 00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:51,800 Speaker 7: Sure, So I said her, I sent her to stuff 875 00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:55,239 Speaker 7: like all of our parents sent her emails. She sent 876 00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:59,560 Speaker 7: the parent emails from the park. Uh, with our concerns. 877 00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:04,919 Speaker 7: I knew that wasn't going to be enough because they're 878 00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:07,040 Speaker 7: just going to say, well, this from the losing park. 879 00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:10,480 Speaker 7: We get it right, they're upset they lost, so on 880 00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:14,000 Speaker 7: and so forth. But when I started getting the information 881 00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:19,600 Speaker 7: from the actual park we played Richie Valence, that was different. 882 00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:23,080 Speaker 7: I had made a mistake. I said the coach for 883 00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:24,879 Speaker 7: their all Star team worked at the park. 884 00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:25,320 Speaker 3: He did not. 885 00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:28,200 Speaker 7: He didn't work at the park. He just didn't have 886 00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:32,879 Speaker 7: a kid. Who most of the coaches have kids who 887 00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:36,040 Speaker 7: play on the team, right, that's what he didn't have 888 00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:39,480 Speaker 7: any kids. But what he instructed the park to do. 889 00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:41,880 Speaker 7: He had a list of kids he wanted to be 890 00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:46,040 Speaker 7: drafted onto his wreck team for the season for the 891 00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:49,720 Speaker 7: regular season, not all stars. It's an eight game regular season, 892 00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:52,040 Speaker 7: and you must play a certain amount of games to 893 00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:54,680 Speaker 7: even be eligible for the All Star team. The All 894 00:48:54,680 --> 00:48:57,200 Speaker 7: Star team is usually selected towards the end of the 895 00:48:57,320 --> 00:49:00,279 Speaker 7: year based on how the kids performed in the wreck. 896 00:49:00,719 --> 00:49:06,400 Speaker 7: That's fair and equitable. Those are the rules. Well, what 897 00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:10,080 Speaker 7: this coach told me was, not only did my son 898 00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:14,319 Speaker 7: not make it, not only did the coach come in 899 00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:18,200 Speaker 7: who didn't even show up for the draft, the reck 900 00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:22,279 Speaker 7: drafted players and that he wanted and told the other 901 00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:24,440 Speaker 7: coaches that they can't draft them because we're going to 902 00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:27,040 Speaker 7: give them to the coach. We don't normally do this, 903 00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:29,000 Speaker 7: but we're going to do him a favor. That's what 904 00:49:29,239 --> 00:49:32,040 Speaker 7: was said to that coach in the draft room. Okay, 905 00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:38,279 Speaker 7: on the board of the draft room. Let me reiterate 906 00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:42,120 Speaker 7: what the process is. You draft a team. There's usually 907 00:49:42,200 --> 00:49:47,840 Speaker 7: eight weeks, eight games every Saturday. You play eight games 908 00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:52,160 Speaker 7: towards the end of the year. You pick the best 909 00:49:52,560 --> 00:49:56,160 Speaker 7: you can have, anywhere from the five to ten kids 910 00:49:56,160 --> 00:49:58,279 Speaker 7: on a team. You pick the best at the park 911 00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:02,160 Speaker 7: for your All Stars. Everyone has a chance because everybody's 912 00:50:02,160 --> 00:50:04,640 Speaker 7: played in the season. You get to see some of 913 00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:06,360 Speaker 7: the coaches vote for who they think should make the 914 00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:09,680 Speaker 7: All Star team. That's normally how it goes by the 915 00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:15,959 Speaker 7: rules that they've created. On the draft board, it said, 916 00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:19,520 Speaker 7: and I'm gonna give you dates. The first game is 917 00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:25,400 Speaker 7: January eleventh. All Star ballots are due after the first game. 918 00:50:26,239 --> 00:50:32,960 Speaker 7: All Star practice is seven days on January eighteenth. And 919 00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:35,840 Speaker 7: I said, wait, huh, so I'm looking at the picture 920 00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:38,320 Speaker 7: and the coach he called me and he said, look, 921 00:50:38,640 --> 00:50:41,000 Speaker 7: we didn't even have an opportunity to see the kids. 922 00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:44,200 Speaker 7: Not every kid was even present at the first game. 923 00:50:44,320 --> 00:50:47,200 Speaker 7: Some kids were still on vacation. Some kids, you know, 924 00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:49,640 Speaker 7: were hurt. They didn't get an opportunity to play in 925 00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:53,319 Speaker 7: the first game. That's why normally we picked the team 926 00:50:53,400 --> 00:50:57,080 Speaker 7: towards the end of the season. They picked their entire 927 00:50:57,200 --> 00:51:01,160 Speaker 7: All Star roster after the first weekend of the first game, yep, 928 00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:06,120 Speaker 7: and started practicing seven days later. All of those kids 929 00:51:06,120 --> 00:51:10,080 Speaker 7: played on his travel team. No other kid at the 930 00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:17,719 Speaker 7: park had an opportunity to even make the All Star team. 931 00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:22,480 Speaker 7: And I said, oh, well, this is the first part 932 00:51:22,600 --> 00:51:26,560 Speaker 7: was bad. The second part it's not even about us 933 00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:30,080 Speaker 7: and our kids at the park. It's about those kids 934 00:51:30,680 --> 00:51:36,040 Speaker 7: at Richie Valence, whose parents reached out to me telling 935 00:51:36,080 --> 00:51:37,480 Speaker 7: me this very thing. 936 00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:40,040 Speaker 4: My son is a good basketball player. 937 00:51:40,200 --> 00:51:43,520 Speaker 7: He was a first round draft pick, and he didn't 938 00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:47,120 Speaker 7: get an opportunity to even make the All Star team, 939 00:51:47,200 --> 00:51:50,200 Speaker 7: let alone try out for it, because they picked a 940 00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:54,359 Speaker 7: team after the first weekend of play, and. 941 00:51:54,320 --> 00:51:56,520 Speaker 1: Quite frankly, they had actually already picked it before. 942 00:51:56,520 --> 00:51:57,960 Speaker 4: You already know what that is. 943 00:51:58,040 --> 00:52:02,279 Speaker 3: Yes, yes, so he has a selected kids we ad time. 944 00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:07,120 Speaker 7: Not only that, there's an evaluation process that every volunteer 945 00:52:07,160 --> 00:52:10,279 Speaker 7: coach goes to. Every kid that's going to play has 946 00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:14,879 Speaker 7: to come be evaluated. That's how you find your draft order. Well, 947 00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:17,239 Speaker 7: this kid can really play, like this past year, my 948 00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:20,200 Speaker 7: son was a first round draft pick because he can go. 949 00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:22,799 Speaker 7: He's grown, he's grown up at our park, they all 950 00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:25,120 Speaker 7: know he's So the first pick in the draft has 951 00:52:25,239 --> 00:52:27,480 Speaker 7: for me has to be my son because he's a 952 00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:28,319 Speaker 7: first round draft pick. 953 00:52:28,360 --> 00:52:30,200 Speaker 4: Got it right, That's how it's listed. 954 00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:33,640 Speaker 1: That's very normal. Yep, based on talent. 955 00:52:33,880 --> 00:52:38,120 Speaker 7: That's how they Yes, what this coach observed the All 956 00:52:38,160 --> 00:52:42,080 Speaker 7: Star coach doing was talking to players telling them not 957 00:52:42,239 --> 00:52:45,080 Speaker 7: to do the evaluation and leave. 958 00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:46,200 Speaker 3: Got it. 959 00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:49,920 Speaker 7: So, no one knew if this kid was good. So 960 00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:51,799 Speaker 7: now they're at the end of the draft. They're on 961 00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:55,560 Speaker 7: the final sheet of kids who didn't show up. So 962 00:52:55,800 --> 00:52:57,880 Speaker 7: at that point it's pretty much a crab shoot. Like 963 00:52:57,920 --> 00:52:59,840 Speaker 7: it's like, Hey, does anybody know so and so. No, 964 00:53:00,040 --> 00:53:02,719 Speaker 7: I don't know him, Okay, I'll take him. But he 965 00:53:02,920 --> 00:53:06,200 Speaker 7: had a couple of his kids he had not do 966 00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:10,560 Speaker 7: evaluations so he can get them on his team. All 967 00:53:10,600 --> 00:53:13,319 Speaker 7: of this is happening at the park in rack. I'm like, 968 00:53:13,360 --> 00:53:16,319 Speaker 7: what is happening right now? This is the team we 969 00:53:16,360 --> 00:53:19,719 Speaker 7: played in the championship. This is what I was so 970 00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:24,640 Speaker 7: upset about, because that go do that in travel ball, 971 00:53:25,239 --> 00:53:28,640 Speaker 7: go do that in aau. All those kids at Richie 972 00:53:28,680 --> 00:53:31,560 Speaker 7: Valence who paid their money, who've been playing at the 973 00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:34,160 Speaker 7: park for years. One mom was like, my kid, my 974 00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:36,600 Speaker 7: son has been an All Star for the two years 975 00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:38,880 Speaker 7: we've been there, and this year he didn't even have 976 00:53:38,960 --> 00:53:42,359 Speaker 7: an opportunity to even make the All Star team. He's 977 00:53:42,360 --> 00:53:46,000 Speaker 7: grown up at this park since he was five or 978 00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:51,960 Speaker 7: whatever it is. That's the first thing the coach who 979 00:53:52,040 --> 00:53:55,239 Speaker 7: reached out to me said was I'm a nobody. I 980 00:53:55,280 --> 00:53:57,080 Speaker 7: don't have a voice. I heard he said, I heard 981 00:53:57,120 --> 00:54:00,000 Speaker 7: your radio show. And I want to say thank you. 982 00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:02,319 Speaker 7: Because I'm a nobody. I don't have a voice. No 983 00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:04,560 Speaker 7: one's gonna listen to me. I said, first of all, 984 00:54:04,600 --> 00:54:06,840 Speaker 7: you're not a nobody. You volunteer your time at a 985 00:54:06,880 --> 00:54:09,560 Speaker 7: park for your child and to coach others. You're not 986 00:54:09,640 --> 00:54:14,239 Speaker 7: a nobody, and your voice will be heard. That was 987 00:54:14,280 --> 00:54:17,800 Speaker 7: the whole point of this, Whether they made them forfeit 988 00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:22,120 Speaker 7: or not, it's the fact that people are circumventing the 989 00:54:22,239 --> 00:54:25,080 Speaker 7: system that's supposed to be fair and equitable. 990 00:54:25,080 --> 00:54:28,400 Speaker 4: For their own gains, not the kids. 991 00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:33,919 Speaker 7: We have video of him holding the trophy he won 992 00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:38,840 Speaker 7: Saturday night against us, saying and he called out, shout 993 00:54:38,880 --> 00:54:44,399 Speaker 7: out to my twelve you and he named the travel team, 994 00:54:44,520 --> 00:54:48,399 Speaker 7: not Richie Valen's All Stars. He said, my so and 995 00:54:48,440 --> 00:54:51,960 Speaker 7: so twelve you travel ball team won this Valley Region 996 00:54:52,040 --> 00:54:56,200 Speaker 7: championship last night.

That's e from Salama Mark Whether this 1097 01:01:09,800 --> 01:01:10,720 Speaker 2: is Fox Sports Radio. 1098 01:01:12,520 --> 01:01:15,240 Speaker 1: Don't listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio. 1099 01:01:15,760 --> 01:01:18,160 Speaker 2: All right, We're live in the Fox Sports Radio studios. 1100 01:01:18,760 --> 01:01:22,760 Speaker 2: If you miss any of today's show, Boom podcasts right afterwards. 1101 01:01:23,400 --> 01:01:26,000 Speaker 2: You search Fox Sports Radio wherever you get your podcasts. 1102 01:01:26,040 --> 01:01:28,360 Speaker 2: Right after the show, today's pod is gonna be posted. 1103 01:01:29,800 --> 01:01:33,280 Speaker 2: Be sure to follow the podcast rated a five, provide 1104 01:01:33,280 --> 01:01:36,360 Speaker 2: a review if you're so inclined.

And that is going to be 1109 01:01:51,400 --> 01:01:57,800 Speaker 2: my main question. What the hell's the motive here? Are people? 1110 01:01:58,080 --> 01:02:01,280 Speaker 2: Is somebody making money off of this? Like this is 1111 01:02:01,320 --> 01:02:05,800 Speaker 2: a coordinated effort in order to win rec league? Like 1112 01:02:07,920 --> 01:02:11,880 Speaker 2: this can't just be about dudes in their forties and 1113 01:02:11,880 --> 01:02:12,840 Speaker 2: fifties and ego. 1114 01:02:13,560 --> 01:02:14,440 Speaker 4: Oh it is. 1115 01:02:15,120 --> 01:02:17,280 Speaker 6: And let me tell you this just a little before 1116 01:02:17,280 --> 01:02:19,520 Speaker 6: we get to see Yeah, Steve, Steve de Sager standing by, 1117 01:02:19,560 --> 01:02:19,960 Speaker 6: go ahead. 1118 01:02:22,360 --> 01:02:25,640 Speaker 7: You know, these coaches and parents have been reaching out 1119 01:02:25,680 --> 01:02:29,120 Speaker 7: to me, and I guess last year this coach was 1120 01:02:29,160 --> 01:02:32,720 Speaker 7: supposed to coach the Miners All Star team and it 1121 01:02:32,840 --> 01:02:35,200 Speaker 7: came down to, I guess, the final season, the final 1122 01:02:35,240 --> 01:02:37,800 Speaker 7: game of the season, whoever won that's who who got 1123 01:02:37,800 --> 01:02:41,880 Speaker 7: a chance to coach the All Stars? And he lost, 1124 01:02:42,120 --> 01:02:45,520 Speaker 7: and he screamed and quit and did all of these 1125 01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:50,400 Speaker 7: you know, crazy things, And this coach was like, Wow, 1126 01:02:50,440 --> 01:02:53,520 Speaker 7: that's at least we have that guy out. If he's done, 1127 01:02:54,120 --> 01:02:59,240 Speaker 7: he resurfaces back this year with the whole team. Talk 1128 01:02:59,320 --> 01:03:01,960 Speaker 7: to whoever at the park. They greenlit all he couldn't 1129 01:03:02,000 --> 01:03:06,000 Speaker 7: do this if the park wasn't complicit. That's a fact, 1130 01:03:07,080 --> 01:03:09,200 Speaker 7: and that was the problem. Like, he doesn't work for 1131 01:03:09,240 --> 01:03:12,120 Speaker 7: the park, but the park was complicit in what he 1132 01:03:12,280 --> 01:03:12,720 Speaker 7: was doing. 1133 01:03:14,000 --> 01:03:14,920 Speaker 4: So now. 1134 01:03:16,440 --> 01:03:19,920 Speaker 7: That's the motive is these parks really want to be 1135 01:03:20,000 --> 01:03:27,280 Speaker 7: recognized and win these bandits. It's LA's biggest tournament. I 1136 01:03:27,320 --> 01:03:30,920 Speaker 7: didn't really know anything about it until when I first 1137 01:03:31,320 --> 01:03:33,560 Speaker 7: came over and started coaching. So I've done it for 1138 01:03:33,600 --> 01:03:37,760 Speaker 7: four years. I've gone to three championships and one last year. Like, 1139 01:03:37,840 --> 01:03:41,400 Speaker 7: I'm just here coaching the regular Wreck kids. 1140 01:03:43,000 --> 01:03:45,480 Speaker 4: And it to me. 1141 01:03:47,080 --> 01:03:50,320 Speaker 7: After talking to some of the other teams and coaches, 1142 01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:53,520 Speaker 7: even at the championship game, they said someone is trying 1143 01:03:53,560 --> 01:03:57,600 Speaker 7: to cheat every year. They've changed rules for this year 1144 01:03:57,680 --> 01:04:00,880 Speaker 7: because people were using high school scene in high school 1145 01:04:00,960 --> 01:04:04,200 Speaker 7: varsity basketball players for the juniors. 1146 01:04:04,120 --> 01:04:10,080 Speaker 4: Wreck All Star. I'm like, why, it's a big deal? 1147 01:04:10,200 --> 01:04:16,240 Speaker 7: People who can't accomplish things in their own lives, like athletically. 1148 01:04:16,720 --> 01:04:23,000 Speaker 7: I'm speaking athletically, yes, sir. They have to find relevance somehow. 1149 01:04:24,760 --> 01:04:27,080 Speaker 7: The first thing I tell my parents I coach in 1150 01:04:27,200 --> 01:04:29,760 Speaker 7: every single parent of kid I've coached. 1151 01:04:29,760 --> 01:04:30,400 Speaker 4: That will tell you. 1152 01:04:30,920 --> 01:04:34,240 Speaker 7: I let my parents know first who I am, what 1153 01:04:34,360 --> 01:04:37,560 Speaker 7: I've accomplished, and I will not be living vicariously through 1154 01:04:37,600 --> 01:04:42,160 Speaker 7: your child or mine. My athletic cup is over. I'm 1155 01:04:42,280 --> 01:04:46,600 Speaker 7: for yeah, it has nothing to do with me. Everyone 1156 01:04:47,320 --> 01:04:52,280 Speaker 7: is not like that. Everyone needs to feel like a 1157 01:04:52,320 --> 01:04:56,320 Speaker 7: winner and will do it by any means necessary. And 1158 01:04:56,360 --> 01:04:59,160 Speaker 7: that goes for parks, that goes for coaches, that goes 1159 01:04:59,200 --> 01:05:05,080 Speaker 7: for whole uh staffs. But we don't have that on 1160 01:05:05,120 --> 01:05:08,200 Speaker 7: our team because we got one Steve de Seger, and 1161 01:05:08,240 --> 01:05:09,440 Speaker 7: he's a straight shooter. 1162 01:05:10,280 --> 01:05:13,640 Speaker 8: Human nature.

Oh my god, this is 1209 01:07:43,560 --> 01:07:44,080 Speaker 3: so great. 1210 01:07:44,280 --> 01:07:46,800 Speaker 8: Can I just say for the Connecticut program, they don't 1211 01:07:46,840 --> 01:07:49,200 Speaker 8: always get this far in the tournament. It just seems 1212 01:07:49,200 --> 01:07:52,520 Speaker 8: so recently. But the set is, since they lost the 1213 01:07:52,520 --> 01:07:55,880 Speaker 8: final four of two thousand and nine, if they get 1214 01:07:55,920 --> 01:07:59,600 Speaker 8: to the sweet sixteen or later, the Connecticut Huskies have 1215 01:07:59,640 --> 01:08:00,960 Speaker 8: won a eighteen straight games. 1216 01:08:01,040 --> 01:08:02,400 Speaker 4: I will just come back today. 1217 01:08:02,800 --> 01:08:07,280 Speaker 8: Meanwhile, in Duke's very proud tournament history all time in 1218 01:08:07,320 --> 01:08:10,880 Speaker 8: the NCAA's when Duke was up by at least fifteen 1219 01:08:10,920 --> 01:08:13,960 Speaker 8: at the half, they had always won until today, twenty 1220 01:08:14,000 --> 01:08:17,080 Speaker 8: seven to oh with that kind of lead at halftime 1221 01:08:17,240 --> 01:08:20,960 Speaker 8: in the tournament until today. So they were up big 1222 01:08:21,000 --> 01:08:25,320 Speaker 8: as mentioned, and not a big at all late in 1223 01:08:25,320 --> 01:08:29,559 Speaker 8: the game, a two point advantage seventy two seventy. Instead 1224 01:08:29,560 --> 01:08:33,719 Speaker 8: of just inbounding, Duke could have just taken the foul 1225 01:08:33,760 --> 01:08:35,800 Speaker 8: and gone to the line and try and extend the 1226 01:08:35,800 --> 01:08:40,880 Speaker 8: two point lead. This happened from Duke Radio. Let's let's 1227 01:08:40,920 --> 01:08:41,920 Speaker 8: hear how things went. 1228 01:08:41,960 --> 01:08:44,760 Speaker 10: Seven seconds trying to throw it ahead deflected stolen by 1229 01:08:44,840 --> 01:08:46,240 Speaker 10: Connecticut two seconds. 1230 01:08:46,280 --> 01:08:48,680 Speaker 1: It's Smolan's up top for the win. Oh hit it 1231 01:08:49,360 --> 01:08:50,440 Speaker 1: with three tents. 1232 01:08:50,200 --> 01:08:53,080 Speaker 11: Of a second ago, pal Kai Smith ran off the bench. 1233 01:08:54,520 --> 01:08:57,519 Speaker 1: That should be a technical. Well with three tenths of 1234 01:08:57,600 --> 01:08:58,200 Speaker 1: a second ago. 1235 01:08:58,280 --> 01:09:00,920 Speaker 11: Connecticut has the least seventy three to seventy. 1236 01:09:00,439 --> 01:09:03,960 Speaker 8: Two, and that wound up being the final in tournament history. 1237 01:09:04,040 --> 01:09:07,559 Speaker 7: He tried to tail, though, he tried to tail. Seal fish, 1238 01:09:07,680 --> 01:09:09,439 Speaker 7: he tried to tail. He raised his hand. 1239 01:09:10,320 --> 01:09:13,200 Speaker 8: He read a week ago, and it wasn't called men either, 1240 01:09:13,320 --> 01:09:16,200 Speaker 8: But in tournament history, that was the largest blown lead 1241 01:09:16,240 --> 01:09:18,960 Speaker 8: by a number one seed. Duke was up forty four 1242 01:09:19,000 --> 01:09:22,280 Speaker 8: to twenty five just before halftime, the Blue Devil's number 1243 01:09:22,280 --> 01:09:24,719 Speaker 8: one overall seed out of the tourney. 1244 01:09:24,760 --> 01:09:26,719 Speaker 4: Back to you, Oh, try to tail. 1245 01:09:26,960 --> 01:09:32,680 Speaker 1: Come on, man, you're duke, you're duke, and you've. 1246 01:09:32,439 --> 01:09:37,240 Speaker 3: Been diminished to that. One of the great moments ever 1247 01:09:37,400 --> 01:09:38,519 Speaker 3: has just happened. 1248 01:09:38,640 --> 01:09:41,759 Speaker 1: And somebody's stepped on the rock spot. 1249 01:09:41,920 --> 01:09:43,400 Speaker 3: We should get free throws. 1250 01:09:44,360 --> 01:09:46,679 Speaker 4: Oh god, that's the technical. That's that's the technical. 1251 01:09:46,800 --> 01:09:52,240 Speaker 2: No, that's embarrassing. Here's what I'd like to say to 1252 01:09:52,280 --> 01:09:55,000 Speaker 2: that broadcaster, and I get it. He's emotional and he's bummed. 1253 01:09:55,479 --> 01:10:02,000 Speaker 2: Check this out. Duke is not even appeared in the 1254 01:10:02,040 --> 01:10:10,559 Speaker 2: title game in now over ten years, okay, since twenty 1255 01:10:10,640 --> 01:10:14,320 Speaker 2: fifteen sixteen. I'd like to read the list of players 1256 01:10:14,360 --> 01:10:20,280 Speaker 2: who have appeared in a Duke jersey for Duke basketball. Okay, 1257 01:10:21,360 --> 01:10:28,160 Speaker 2: just since twenty fifteen sixteen. Brandon Ingram, Luke Kennard, Jason Tatum, 1258 01:10:28,280 --> 01:10:32,799 Speaker 2: Frank Jackson, Marvin Bagley, the Third, Gary Trent, Trevon Duval, 1259 01:10:33,000 --> 01:10:37,599 Speaker 2: Wendell Carter Juniors, Ion Williamson, RJ. Barrett, cam Reddish, Trey Jones, 1260 01:10:38,040 --> 01:10:43,680 Speaker 2: Vernon Carey Junior, Jayalen Johnson, Paolo Benkearro, Mark Williams, Kyle Philipowski, 1261 01:10:44,320 --> 01:10:53,679 Speaker 2: Derek Lively, Jared McCain, Cooper Flag, Con Canipple, Cameron Boozer. Wow, 1262 01:10:53,720 --> 01:10:56,559 Speaker 2: that's who's appeared for Duke and they have not made 1263 01:10:56,560 --> 01:10:57,240 Speaker 2: a title game. 1264 01:10:57,360 --> 01:10:59,679 Speaker 8: And Gary Trent Junior that you mentioned scored thirty six 1265 01:10:59,720 --> 01:11:03,439 Speaker 8: Again the Clippers today, I mean the talent that's just 1266 01:11:03,479 --> 01:11:05,840 Speaker 8: in one decade for one program. 1267 01:11:05,320 --> 01:11:07,360 Speaker 2: And they're out there begging for a tech because some 1268 01:11:07,560 --> 01:11:08,639 Speaker 2: dude walked off them. 1269 01:11:08,680 --> 01:11:11,080 Speaker 8: By the way, no ACC team in the final four 1270 01:11:11,320 --> 01:11:15,040 Speaker 8: and no SEC team in the final four, which is 1271 01:11:15,240 --> 01:11:16,360 Speaker 8: kind of a rarity. 1272 01:11:17,680 --> 01:11:21,559 Speaker 7: But I'll tell you that, and it harkens back to 1273 01:11:21,600 --> 01:11:24,040 Speaker 7: what I was talking about in the first hour. 1274 01:11:25,920 --> 01:11:28,040 Speaker 4: Most of those guys you read off that list left 1275 01:11:28,080 --> 01:11:28,720 Speaker 4: after one year. 1276 01:11:29,200 --> 01:11:29,679 Speaker 3: That's true. 1277 01:11:30,520 --> 01:11:34,320 Speaker 7: And so this is a problem that Kentucky had and 1278 01:11:34,400 --> 01:11:39,120 Speaker 7: Calipari had a Kentucky those one and Dons like remember 1279 01:11:39,160 --> 01:11:42,839 Speaker 7: they were doing one and Dons before anybody for nil 1280 01:11:43,080 --> 01:11:44,080 Speaker 7: before any they it. 1281 01:11:44,080 --> 01:11:44,759 Speaker 4: Was one and Dons. 1282 01:11:44,800 --> 01:11:47,600 Speaker 7: Man, I'm going to have the top recruiting class and 1283 01:11:47,600 --> 01:11:49,599 Speaker 7: we're gonna try to get it all in. And it 1284 01:11:49,680 --> 01:11:53,080 Speaker 7: wasn't successful then and it's not successful now. 1285 01:11:54,200 --> 01:11:57,200 Speaker 8: And I would say it's too too much of a 1286 01:11:57,200 --> 01:12:00,040 Speaker 8: blanket statement, but I will point out that when you 1287 01:12:00,120 --> 01:12:03,759 Speaker 8: get youth, yes, you've played a full season together, but somebody, 1288 01:12:04,439 --> 01:12:06,519 Speaker 8: if you have a more veteran team, you're protecting nineteen 1289 01:12:06,560 --> 01:12:09,120 Speaker 8: point leader. And if you have more veteran team, you 1290 01:12:09,280 --> 01:12:12,000 Speaker 8: make this one possession to close out the game. 1291 01:12:12,160 --> 01:12:16,920 Speaker 7: Yes, and that point that is the problem. And so 1292 01:12:17,479 --> 01:12:20,559 Speaker 7: what I was saying at the beginning and of this, 1293 01:12:20,840 --> 01:12:26,560 Speaker 7: if the if Cameron Boozer decides, it's the same conversation 1294 01:12:27,000 --> 01:12:30,840 Speaker 7: that I thought that Cooper Flag and Continental, who are 1295 01:12:30,880 --> 01:12:33,040 Speaker 7: now competing for Rookie of the Year, which I get 1296 01:12:35,120 --> 01:12:39,120 Speaker 7: making five six seven million dollars a year to play 1297 01:12:39,120 --> 01:12:43,519 Speaker 7: in college with each other and have an opportunity to 1298 01:12:43,560 --> 01:12:48,559 Speaker 7: win a national championship or finish the job. If Cameron 1299 01:12:48,640 --> 01:12:50,960 Speaker 7: Boozer comes back, he'll be the odds on and they'll 1300 01:12:51,000 --> 01:12:52,519 Speaker 7: be the Duke will be the odds on favor to 1301 01:12:52,520 --> 01:12:54,679 Speaker 7: win the national championship by a mile. 1302 01:12:54,560 --> 01:12:56,599 Speaker 8: And he'll be drafted at least as high after that. 1303 01:12:56,640 --> 01:12:59,599 Speaker 4: And draft position probably won't change. 1304 01:13:00,439 --> 01:13:05,639 Speaker 8: And so remember when Florida actually before and il decided, hey, 1305 01:13:05,720 --> 01:13:08,320 Speaker 8: let's keep this going, and they came back back did 1306 01:13:08,320 --> 01:13:12,120 Speaker 8: win again the next year. By the way, the ironically 1307 01:13:12,160 --> 01:13:14,080 Speaker 8: it was a Duke game this afternoon as well as 1308 01:13:14,120 --> 01:13:16,800 Speaker 8: the Duke men lost to Yukon. Also today, the Duke 1309 01:13:16,840 --> 01:13:20,559 Speaker 8: women lost a regional final, blowing a ten point lead 1310 01:13:20,680 --> 01:13:24,519 Speaker 8: late first half against UCLA, which had the most veteran 1311 01:13:24,680 --> 01:13:28,000 Speaker 8: of veteran teams and all senior starting lineup that had 1312 01:13:28,040 --> 01:13:30,360 Speaker 8: been to the final four a year ago that made 1313 01:13:30,400 --> 01:13:34,320 Speaker 8: it back to the final four this year, overcoming the deficits, 1314 01:13:34,400 --> 01:13:37,800 Speaker 8: stopping the turnovers and doing exactly what they needed to 1315 01:13:37,880 --> 01:13:39,720 Speaker 8: have the second half to advance. 1316 01:13:39,560 --> 01:13:41,120 Speaker 4: And this is what we're talking about. 1317 01:13:41,280 --> 01:13:45,160 Speaker 7: Like it takes a special group of kids to say, 1318 01:13:45,320 --> 01:13:50,800 Speaker 7: you know what, the NBA is there, Right, we're not starving, right, 1319 01:13:50,800 --> 01:13:54,120 Speaker 7: we're not starving students.

No, 1324 01:14:00,920 --> 01:14:03,840 Speaker 7: we're not doing that. So why don't we do this 1325 01:14:05,439 --> 01:14:08,960 Speaker 7: combined with our incoming class what we do in the portal, 1326 01:14:09,600 --> 01:14:12,519 Speaker 7: Let's go win a national And until these top teams 1327 01:14:12,600 --> 01:14:18,000 Speaker 7: start to do that, we're gonna keep getting this.

Before we completely move on, though, I'm I 1377 01:17:15,240 --> 01:17:19,599 Speaker 2: would almost feel better about your entire story if somebody 1378 01:17:19,720 --> 01:17:22,200 Speaker 2: was like making money under the table. 1379 01:17:22,040 --> 01:17:22,840 Speaker 3: Or something like that. 1380 01:17:23,680 --> 01:17:26,599 Speaker 2: The fact that at the end, you know what I mean, 1381 01:17:26,680 --> 01:17:29,479 Speaker 2: like the end of a Scooby Doo episode, we find 1382 01:17:29,520 --> 01:17:34,360 Speaker 2: out what that masked man was after. At the end 1383 01:17:34,400 --> 01:17:38,000 Speaker 2: of your episode, all we get is sad adults with 1384 01:17:38,160 --> 01:17:39,400 Speaker 2: nothing better to do. 1385 01:17:39,600 --> 01:17:41,400 Speaker 3: Is that really the motive? Here. 1386 01:17:41,560 --> 01:17:45,320 Speaker 7: Listen, bro, you have to pay to be on a 1387 01:17:45,360 --> 01:17:49,320 Speaker 7: travel ball team. Listen, listen to this. You have to 1388 01:17:49,320 --> 01:17:51,320 Speaker 7: pay to be on the travel ball team. Of course, 1389 01:17:51,960 --> 01:17:55,559 Speaker 7: because the All Star team was represented by kids who 1390 01:17:55,600 --> 01:17:58,880 Speaker 7: are paying the coach to play for him. Right as 1391 01:17:58,920 --> 01:18:01,800 Speaker 7: a direct conflict of interest. Of course, Now if a 1392 01:18:01,920 --> 01:18:05,040 Speaker 7: kid can't afford to be on his travel team, he 1393 01:18:05,160 --> 01:18:08,320 Speaker 7: has no pathway to make it All star team at the. 1394 01:18:08,280 --> 01:18:10,440 Speaker 3: Park and wreck understood. 1395 01:18:10,439 --> 01:18:13,080 Speaker 4: So this is what you have to do. 1396 01:18:14,360 --> 01:18:16,639 Speaker 7: All you got to do is go online right LA 1397 01:18:16,720 --> 01:18:20,840 Speaker 7: Parks and Rec Valley Region. All the names, all the 1398 01:18:20,920 --> 01:18:26,000 Speaker 7: emails of the district here, they're all there, just in 1399 01:18:26,080 --> 01:18:26,559 Speaker 7: an email. 1400 01:18:27,200 --> 01:18:31,920 Speaker 4: Hurt the show unbelievable. Something has to be done. 1401 01:18:32,600 --> 01:18:37,320 Speaker 7: The more our voices are heard, the better the situation 1402 01:18:37,520 --> 01:18:41,280 Speaker 7: is for these kids and everybody else. What we can 1403 01:18:41,439 --> 01:18:47,080 Speaker 7: hope is the powers that be can put something in 1404 01:18:47,240 --> 01:18:54,240 Speaker 7: place so kids number one aren't taking advantage of right 1405 01:18:54,400 --> 01:18:57,680 Speaker 7: join my travel team. It costs seven point fifty for 1406 01:18:58,040 --> 01:19:03,719 Speaker 7: games and forms in all of that, and right comes 1407 01:19:03,760 --> 01:19:05,799 Speaker 7: join the rec and will win. 1408 01:19:05,680 --> 01:19:09,080 Speaker 2: The on the download will provide more games and a 1409 01:19:09,120 --> 01:19:10,400 Speaker 2: fake win like it. 1410 01:19:10,560 --> 01:19:14,120 Speaker 7: It's something has to be done. The only reason I 1411 01:19:14,240 --> 01:19:16,479 Speaker 7: figured they weren't going to disqualify the team. 1412 01:19:16,560 --> 01:19:18,120 Speaker 4: I wasn't even really doing it for that. 1413 01:19:19,120 --> 01:19:21,479 Speaker 7: I was really doing it to shine a light on 1414 01:19:22,000 --> 01:19:25,920 Speaker 7: what's happening in youth sports at the at the smallest level, 1415 01:19:26,040 --> 01:19:30,040 Speaker 7: at the free parks and rec level.

Ce B 1537 01:26:13,760 --> 01:26:17,160 Speaker 2: Buckner the umpire the second time that Suarez taps his helmet, 1538 01:26:17,320 --> 01:26:21,479 Speaker 2: he's annoyed.

No one's going to feel sorry for you, buddy. 1545 01:26:40,800 --> 01:26:44,240 Speaker 2: But that's I get why they don't like it. Don't 1546 01:26:44,680 --> 01:26:48,280 Speaker 2: be wrong so much? There you go, So tough cookies 1547 01:26:48,360 --> 01:26:50,280 Speaker 2: is the answer there. But you know what I didn't 1548 01:26:50,320 --> 01:26:56,080 Speaker 2: think of every If you're at a ball game and 1549 01:26:56,120 --> 01:27:02,640 Speaker 2: it goes to review, the best you're gonna get sometimes 1550 01:27:02,720 --> 01:27:07,560 Speaker 2: the ballpark, and this goes for NFL, NBA. Also sometimes 1551 01:27:07,600 --> 01:27:10,240 Speaker 2: on the big screen, they're gonna show you a replay 1552 01:27:11,000 --> 01:27:14,840 Speaker 2: sometimes they don't. Sometimes they don't want to show those 1553 01:27:15,000 --> 01:27:18,200 Speaker 2: reps and umps up. Sometimes they'll show it, but even 1554 01:27:18,240 --> 01:27:21,679 Speaker 2: when they show it, you're still looking at what amounts 1555 01:27:21,680 --> 01:27:25,000 Speaker 2: to an opinion. You're like, was that a block or 1556 01:27:25,000 --> 01:27:29,040 Speaker 2: a charge? Well, hun, I think that was a block 1557 01:27:29,080 --> 01:27:31,479 Speaker 2: and here's why.

It's fact or fiction. And 1564 01:27:55,200 --> 01:27:58,800 Speaker 2: it's almost like somebody's pulling a rabbit out of a hat. 1565 01:27:59,120 --> 01:28:03,040 Speaker 3: It's like, let's veil, did you win? Or it's like, 1566 01:28:03,160 --> 01:28:04,080 Speaker 3: let's make a deal. 1567 01:28:04,400 --> 01:28:07,000 Speaker 2: Poof the door opens, you either got a million dollars 1568 01:28:07,080 --> 01:28:10,960 Speaker 2: or a goat, Like I didn't think of that. And 1569 01:28:11,120 --> 01:28:15,320 Speaker 2: that from a ballpark experience, is incredibly fun. 1570 01:28:16,400 --> 01:28:20,920 Speaker 7: It is you're part of the game now, yes, And 1571 01:28:20,960 --> 01:28:23,360 Speaker 7: that was one of the things my wife was talking about. 1572 01:28:23,720 --> 01:28:26,360 Speaker 7: You can get to see right, you get to be 1573 01:28:26,439 --> 01:28:29,639 Speaker 7: a part of it, like you so good, so good? 1574 01:28:29,760 --> 01:28:31,280 Speaker 3: Did you hear that grass. 1575 01:28:31,520 --> 01:28:35,440 Speaker 2: They're going crazy on the opening weekend in Cincinnati. 1576 01:28:36,160 --> 01:28:40,240 Speaker 7: Yes, your job is to get it right.

Again, just search Fox Sports Radio 1682 01:34:54,720 --> 01:35:01,439 Speaker 2: in the I Heart app. Okay. Here is basically Adam 1683 01:35:01,479 --> 01:35:07,559 Speaker 2: Silver did the full stop quote earlier this week about tanking. 1684 01:35:07,840 --> 01:35:10,360 Speaker 2: It's one that we take very seriously and we are 1685 01:35:10,400 --> 01:35:23,360 Speaker 2: going to fix it full stop. Okay. So three things 1686 01:35:23,600 --> 01:35:32,839 Speaker 2: were sort of launched by the NBA, three comprehensive anti 1687 01:35:33,080 --> 01:35:37,880 Speaker 2: tanking concepts at their Board of Governor's meeting on Wednesday. 1688 01:35:38,560 --> 01:35:40,640 Speaker 2: I like to read you these three and then you 1689 01:35:40,720 --> 01:35:43,080 Speaker 2: hit me with your reaction, gotcha all right? Number one 1690 01:35:43,760 --> 01:35:48,559 Speaker 2: Eighteen teams would be in the draft lottery seeds seven 1691 01:35:48,640 --> 01:35:52,719 Speaker 2: through fifteen in each conference flattened odds, with the bottom 1692 01:35:52,800 --> 01:35:55,599 Speaker 2: ten teams having an eight percent chance, the remaining twenty 1693 01:35:55,640 --> 01:35:59,160 Speaker 2: percent odds distributed in decreasing order for eleven through eighteen, 1694 01:35:59,200 --> 01:36:07,160 Speaker 2: and a lottery drawing for all eighteen picks. That's number one, 1695 01:36:07,800 --> 01:36:12,120 Speaker 2: Number two, twenty two teams in the lottery using a 1696 01:36:12,200 --> 01:36:16,120 Speaker 2: two year record seed seven through fifteen plus the four 1697 01:36:16,200 --> 01:36:20,080 Speaker 2: playoff first round exits in both conferences. Lottery teams would 1698 01:36:20,080 --> 01:36:23,479 Speaker 2: reach a minimum win total floor in each season, such 1699 01:36:23,479 --> 01:36:26,120 Speaker 2: as twenty five wins. If a team falls short of 1700 01:36:26,120 --> 01:36:30,400 Speaker 2: the floor, it gets slotted to meet the floor. Top 1701 01:36:30,479 --> 01:36:33,400 Speaker 2: four drawn as part of a lottery as it is 1702 01:36:33,439 --> 01:36:40,960 Speaker 2: currently what and number three eighteen teams in a five 1703 01:36:41,200 --> 01:36:46,320 Speaker 2: x five lottery. Bottom five teams have equal odds for 1704 01:36:46,439 --> 01:36:50,400 Speaker 2: the top pick, with lottery formed for picks one through five. 1705 01:36:50,520 --> 01:36:54,760 Speaker 2: Bottom five teams have a floor at ten. Those that 1706 01:36:54,840 --> 01:36:57,040 Speaker 2: fall out of the top five get sorted in a 1707 01:36:57,080 --> 01:36:57,839 Speaker 2: separate drawing. 1708 01:37:02,160 --> 01:37:05,760 Speaker 3: Exactly exactly. 1709 01:37:06,800 --> 01:37:09,519 Speaker 4: I don't know what you've said, neither do. 1710 01:37:09,479 --> 01:37:18,360 Speaker 3: I, and I'm reading it like, I don't know. I 1711 01:37:18,360 --> 01:37:21,840 Speaker 3: don't know why. It's so hard to explain this. 1712 01:37:21,840 --> 01:37:32,840 Speaker 2: This goes for sports, business, content, parenting, relationships, anything. If 1713 01:37:32,840 --> 01:37:35,280 Speaker 2: the other people don't understand what the hell you're talking about, 1714 01:37:35,320 --> 01:37:41,519 Speaker 2: it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter, like fairness doesn't matter 1715 01:37:41,960 --> 01:37:45,479 Speaker 2: if we don't even know what the hell you're talking about. 1716 01:37:46,560 --> 01:37:49,880 Speaker 2: I don't even know why we try so hard for fairness. 1717 01:37:50,360 --> 01:37:54,920 Speaker 2: It's not something that exists. It doesn't exist. You're a 1718 01:37:55,040 --> 01:37:57,280 Speaker 2: Laker fan. Do the Lakers and the Kings have the 1719 01:37:57,320 --> 01:37:59,240 Speaker 2: same chance at free agents when they have the same 1720 01:37:59,280 --> 01:37:59,880 Speaker 2: amount of money of it? 1721 01:38:00,520 --> 01:38:01,360 Speaker 4: Nope? 1722 01:38:01,840 --> 01:38:05,640 Speaker 2: Why are we trying for fairness? Stop with the fairness 1723 01:38:06,040 --> 01:38:11,559 Speaker 2: and simply find something again that takes the incentive away 1724 01:38:11,960 --> 01:38:15,640 Speaker 2: for tanking, and then it's just tough cookies after that. 1725 01:38:17,680 --> 01:38:21,800 Speaker 2: But like the NBA in season Tournament, I think is 1726 01:38:21,840 --> 01:38:26,439 Speaker 2: three years in, head out onto the streets or help 1727 01:38:26,520 --> 01:38:29,720 Speaker 2: go to an NBA game and go, okay, explain it 1728 01:38:29,760 --> 01:38:33,240 Speaker 2: to me, how do you get to the in season 1729 01:38:33,360 --> 01:38:34,480 Speaker 2: tournament finals? 1730 01:38:35,600 --> 01:38:36,000 Speaker 3: Tim? 1731 01:38:36,120 --> 01:38:40,759 Speaker 2: In section one twenty four, you have a one hundred 1732 01:38:40,880 --> 01:38:45,000 Speaker 2: percent chance of getting a non answer from Tim because 1733 01:38:45,200 --> 01:38:53,439 Speaker 2: nobody understands what you're doing. So my biggest complaint about 1734 01:38:53,439 --> 01:38:57,160 Speaker 2: stuff like this when you're aiming for a mass audience 1735 01:38:57,760 --> 01:39:02,040 Speaker 2: is stop doing things. It's no different than stand up comedy. 1736 01:39:02,080 --> 01:39:07,360 Speaker 2: If you have to explain the joke, it ain't funny. 1737 01:39:07,600 --> 01:39:08,360 Speaker 4: It ain't funny. 1738 01:39:08,479 --> 01:39:12,160 Speaker 3: So that's but anyway, go ahead. 1739 01:39:12,880 --> 01:39:18,000 Speaker 7: Yeah, literally just threw a bunch of words at you. 1740 01:39:21,800 --> 01:39:26,559 Speaker 7: No way the casual fan is going to be able 1741 01:39:26,600 --> 01:39:30,760 Speaker 7: to track any of that to understand why this is 1742 01:39:31,000 --> 01:39:35,040 Speaker 7: this would stop tanking, because that's what you want the 1743 01:39:35,080 --> 01:39:39,479 Speaker 7: fans to understand, is why this is what this is 1744 01:39:39,520 --> 01:39:41,200 Speaker 7: the thing that's going to stop tanking. 1745 01:39:43,760 --> 01:39:46,200 Speaker 4: Yeah. I don't know what you were talking about. 1746 01:39:47,479 --> 01:39:50,799 Speaker 7: And I consider myself as someone who's, you know, follows 1747 01:39:50,840 --> 01:39:53,840 Speaker 7: the game and knows some things. 1748 01:39:55,240 --> 01:39:59,280 Speaker 4: But I was lost. Yep from the beginning. 1749 01:40:00,200 --> 01:40:02,240 Speaker 2: Let me read number two to you, and then sentence 1750 01:40:02,280 --> 01:40:05,160 Speaker 2: by sentence will break it down. Twenty two teams in 1751 01:40:05,200 --> 01:40:09,240 Speaker 2: the lottery using a two year record, so you wouldn't 1752 01:40:09,280 --> 01:40:11,800 Speaker 2: just be looking at this year, You're looking at last 1753 01:40:11,840 --> 01:40:16,960 Speaker 2: year always as well. Right seeds seven through fifteen, which 1754 01:40:17,040 --> 01:40:20,800 Speaker 2: means anybody who either missed the playoffs or ended up 1755 01:40:20,960 --> 01:40:26,320 Speaker 2: in the playing tournament, plus the four playoff first round 1756 01:40:26,479 --> 01:40:30,800 Speaker 2: exits in both conferences. So now you're also taking in 1757 01:40:31,320 --> 01:40:36,680 Speaker 2: basically anybody who doesn't make the conference semifinal. 1758 01:40:36,880 --> 01:40:39,200 Speaker 4: Yes, okay, anybody who. 1759 01:40:39,040 --> 01:40:41,559 Speaker 3: Doesn't make the conference semifinals. You're all in. 1760 01:40:42,600 --> 01:40:46,120 Speaker 2: The next sentence says lottery teams would reach a minimum 1761 01:40:46,320 --> 01:40:49,679 Speaker 2: win total floor each season, such as twenty five wins, 1762 01:40:49,720 --> 01:40:52,840 Speaker 2: and if they don't, they get slotted to meet the floor. 1763 01:40:53,080 --> 01:40:56,160 Speaker 2: So if you tank your way to thirteen wins, too bad, 1764 01:40:56,280 --> 01:41:01,479 Speaker 2: you get twenty five wins, get twenty five wins even 1765 01:41:01,520 --> 01:41:05,160 Speaker 2: if you didn't get them, and then the top four 1766 01:41:05,200 --> 01:41:07,920 Speaker 2: are drawing as part of a lottery. So what they're 1767 01:41:07,960 --> 01:41:12,000 Speaker 2: basically saying is we're going to take all but eight teams, 1768 01:41:14,600 --> 01:41:18,200 Speaker 2: and you're all in the lottery. 1769 01:41:19,000 --> 01:41:24,639 Speaker 3: You're all in. Now. 1770 01:41:25,600 --> 01:41:30,160 Speaker 2: I don't know what the percentage chances are for each team, 1771 01:41:30,200 --> 01:41:33,720 Speaker 2: but I would suggest to the NBA, you want to 1772 01:41:33,760 --> 01:41:36,200 Speaker 2: know the way to really explain this to your fans 1773 01:41:36,680 --> 01:41:43,120 Speaker 2: the percentages, so that they get it. Do away with them. 1774 01:41:43,240 --> 01:41:44,360 Speaker 4: There you go, there's a thought. 1775 01:41:45,280 --> 01:41:48,000 Speaker 2: If you suck, you're in the lottery, and you all 1776 01:41:48,040 --> 01:41:54,400 Speaker 2: get an equal chance. Like when I read these, like 1777 01:41:54,439 --> 01:41:56,680 Speaker 2: the first one, it's like flatten odds. The bottom ten 1778 01:41:56,720 --> 01:41:59,080 Speaker 2: teams get an eight percent chance the remaining twenty percent 1779 01:41:59,160 --> 01:42:06,160 Speaker 2: get it. Stop Stop that's incentivising losing. Even if it's 1780 01:42:06,240 --> 01:42:08,719 Speaker 2: like I'm only gonna get a two percent more chance, 1781 01:42:08,800 --> 01:42:11,160 Speaker 2: well they're still gonna try to get that two percent. 1782 01:42:11,000 --> 01:42:14,720 Speaker 1: Chance to capture the two Stop with percentages. 1783 01:42:16,400 --> 01:42:16,920 Speaker 3: You suck. 1784 01:42:17,360 --> 01:42:19,599 Speaker 2: You didn't make the final eight, You're in the lottery 1785 01:42:19,680 --> 01:42:30,479 Speaker 2: equal chance. I don't like they went into a dark 1786 01:42:30,560 --> 01:42:33,400 Speaker 2: room and thought this out for weeks and came out 1787 01:42:33,479 --> 01:42:36,559 Speaker 2: and I'm like, go back in, but then come back 1788 01:42:36,560 --> 01:42:41,759 Speaker 2: out five minutes later, because this is super simple. Stop 1789 01:42:41,880 --> 01:42:44,680 Speaker 2: telling teams that suck that in any way, shape or 1790 01:42:44,680 --> 01:42:45,639 Speaker 2: form it will help. 1791 01:42:45,479 --> 01:42:46,200 Speaker 1: Them in the draft. 1792 01:42:47,960 --> 01:42:48,400 Speaker 4: It won't. 1793 01:42:48,600 --> 01:42:51,599 Speaker 2: We're gonna put playoff teams in there as well, and 1794 01:42:51,680 --> 01:42:55,519 Speaker 2: you get no better chance than them. And then maybe 1795 01:42:55,680 --> 01:42:58,240 Speaker 2: NBA would look like real life a little bit, which 1796 01:42:58,280 --> 01:43:00,920 Speaker 2: is if you don't execute and don't get your act together, 1797 01:43:01,280 --> 01:43:02,600 Speaker 2: life gets harder. 1798 01:43:02,400 --> 01:43:06,920 Speaker 4: Gets tougher. That is a fact, you know what I'm saying. 1799 01:43:08,840 --> 01:43:09,840 Speaker 4: That is a fact. 1800 01:43:10,040 --> 01:43:12,000 Speaker 2: This was if they put this out to the public 1801 01:43:12,040 --> 01:43:13,880 Speaker 2: so that they could get us to you know, like 1802 01:43:13,960 --> 01:43:15,000 Speaker 2: dip the toe in the water. 1803 01:43:16,320 --> 01:43:18,200 Speaker 4: I'm putting my shoes on and I'm leaving. 1804 01:43:19,680 --> 01:43:24,599 Speaker 2: Right right, you have to simplify and be smart. Why 1805 01:43:24,640 --> 01:43:26,800 Speaker 2: do you think Steve de Seger's time on the radio 1806 01:43:26,840 --> 01:43:27,800 Speaker 2: always works so well? 1807 01:43:29,960 --> 01:43:33,599 Speaker 8: Can I just say I really enjoyed your Baseball not 1808 01:43:33,640 --> 01:43:37,560 Speaker 8: only discussion, but the clips from yesterday. 1809 01:43:37,640 --> 01:43:38,519 Speaker 3: How good was that? 1810 01:43:38,640 --> 01:43:39,920 Speaker 8: Oh that's sensational. 1811 01:43:40,080 --> 01:43:44,360 Speaker 2: Red Scroud hasn't sounded like that since like twenty seventeen 1812 01:43:44,479 --> 01:43:45,240 Speaker 2: or something like that. 1813 01:43:45,320 --> 01:43:47,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, like, oh my god. 1814 01:43:47,880 --> 01:43:50,400 Speaker 8: And you know, I thought I would like this system. 1815 01:43:50,800 --> 01:43:53,719 Speaker 8: It's better than I thought.

I'm sure it would take care of some problems, 1950 01:51:27,840 --> 01:51:34,720 Speaker 2: but not all of them, man, Right. People don't understand 1951 01:51:37,160 --> 01:51:44,240 Speaker 2: the importance of love and family and trust, and some 1952 01:51:44,280 --> 01:51:49,519 Speaker 2: people don't have it. Some people go home to a 1953 01:51:49,560 --> 01:51:50,439 Speaker 2: loveless house. 1954 01:51:51,960 --> 01:51:54,960 Speaker 7: Some people go home alone a lot, and they don't 1955 01:51:55,000 --> 01:52:00,400 Speaker 7: know what love feels like and can do. And I'm 1956 01:52:00,439 --> 01:52:05,519 Speaker 7: talking about kids as well. That's why I dedicate my 1957 01:52:05,640 --> 01:52:08,479 Speaker 7: time to being in my kids like but just not 1958 01:52:08,720 --> 01:52:14,320 Speaker 7: my kids. When I volunteer and I coach, and I 1959 01:52:14,439 --> 01:52:19,519 Speaker 7: go volunteer at my son's schools, both of them, because 1960 01:52:19,640 --> 01:52:23,519 Speaker 7: I know there are kids there that don't have what 1961 01:52:23,560 --> 01:52:29,920 Speaker 7: my sons have at home.

That's what makes me get up and go. 1963 01:52:36,720 --> 01:52:43,240 Speaker 7: It's not the money, because without money, I have my boys, 1964 01:52:43,439 --> 01:52:47,320 Speaker 7: I have my wife, I have my supports, system, my family, 1965 01:52:48,640 --> 01:52:51,679 Speaker 7: and there's love.
