1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:01,880
Speaker 1: What was it like when you first checked in your

2
00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:02,800
Speaker 1: first All Star game?

3
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:04,600
Speaker 2: And that shit was crazy. I was one of the

4
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 2: first times I was a little nervous. My hands was

5
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:10,640
Speaker 2: real cold, Like I remember I I think I missed

6
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:14,239
Speaker 2: my first layup, like yeah, yeah, yeah, the first thing

7
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 2: I'm doing. I'm getting to the cup. I feel I'm

8
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:18,959
Speaker 2: an airball, like I if I shoot a jump shot.

9
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 2: I'm on the bench and I'm looking who's on my team.

10
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm really on the bench looking like this

11
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 2: is crazy, not even thinking like I'm just one of

12
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 2: them too. But I'm like I'm in the locker room

13
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 2: tripping out like I'm the whole both of my All

14
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 2: Star years. I'm just like, this doesn't even seem real.

15
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: Welcome back to point game. I can already feel an

16
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: exciting episode in a way. I'm of course joined by

17
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: my co host Isaiah Thomas, and this week, you know

18
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 1: we're gonna be talking about these trades that are seeming

19
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: to be happening in a real time. We just got

20
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 1: one right before the show. All Star reserves just got announced.

21
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: We got the complete rosters there, and also our reactions

22
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: to the jerseys at the All Stars is gonna be

23
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: wearing that weekend, and then of course some quick hits

24
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 1: and our no days off segment that we always we

25
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: do just shine on put some shine on some other players.

26
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: But I t I mean, we were supposed to record

27
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 1: this episode yesterday, but good thing we didn't, because literally

28
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 1: in the last hour, some crazy trades have happened. First one,

29
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: I think the craziest one to me, Jaron Jackson Junior

30
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: is on the move to the Jazz. So how are

31
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 1: you feeling seeing I think that's like a real that's

32
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 1: a first dominance sort of fallen. What I think is

33
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: gonna be a crazy trade deadline here.

34
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's crazy. It was a surprise to me that

35
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 2: that he got traded at all people, but that's that's

36
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 2: probably a domino effect for the rest of the league,

37
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 2: especially him going to Utah and they already got like

38
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 2: a guy in marketing that plays just like them. But

39
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 2: you know, with Danny Aings with Utah Jazz, he's always

40
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 2: got something up his sleeves. So I think that's gonna

41
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 2: be a domino effect for the rest of the league. Obviously,

42
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 2: another trade just happened a little bit ago as well,

43
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 2: so I think this is gonna be a crazy little

44
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,799
Speaker 2: next few couple I mean next next couple of days

45
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 2: for sure.

46
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: Well, okay, so we'll talk into like what this means

47
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 1: for some of the teams. But obviously you know you've

48
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: been in the league and you know that this time

49
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: can be crazy, Like I guess describe that overall feeling.

50
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: Are guys kind of getting nervous? Are they you know,

51
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: is it affecting game play? Are people like not getting

52
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: too comfortable because it could be them? Like what's the

53
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: vibe for a player in the league right now?

54
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 2: It's a nervous vibe for sure, Like other than the

55
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 2: superstars that really know they're not really going nowhere for

56
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 2: the most part. Obviously, James Harden situation is crazy, but

57
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 2: like it's more so than role players, like you're, you're

58
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 2: it's a business. You can get shipped out at any second,

59
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 2: and especially during this week, Like it's hard to focus

60
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 2: on the game for sure, it's hard to focus on

61
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 2: you know, team just because you you know, you could

62
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 2: possibly get traded and got to move and and and

63
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 2: and get situated in another city. So it's it's definitely

64
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 2: a tough week. It's a stressful week for a lot

65
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 2: of for a lot of guys. Yeah, but like you know,

66
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,239
Speaker 2: for the for the normal fan, it's kind of fun.

67
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 2: It's like the video game. You just get to, you know,

68
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 2: make trades. It seem like trades happened that you don't

69
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 2: that you're surprised that will happened. And then once like

70
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 2: one trade happens, obviously the Jaron Jackson and then a

71
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 2: lot of other teams are about to follow suit for sure.

72
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: Well okay, so let's talk about this Jared Jackson trade

73
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: because we've talked over and over again where's Jar going?

74
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, his teammate, Jaron Jackson going,

75
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: and like you said, domino effect, they're rebuilding. But like

76
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: I guess it's like why Jaren and not figure out

77
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: where Jaw's going first? Because to me, you know, as

78
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: a fan, it's like Jaren seemed like the most stable piece,

79
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 1: Like why couldn't you build a team around Jaren, you know,

80
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: other than you know, what are they getting back here?

81
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 2: Here?

82
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 1: Let's just outline this. They're getting Walter Clayton, Junior, Kylie Anderson,

83
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: Taylor Hendricks, Georgis Yang in three future first round picks,

84
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: which is a haul, but that's still a lot of

85
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: what ifs to a guy who has proven himself an

86
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: All Star and whatnot. So what do you think is

87
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: going through the mind of Memphis as they hold on

88
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 1: to jaw right now and get rid of a star

89
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 1: in in Triple.

90
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 2: J They're they're rebuilding is rebuilding time. They're trying to

91
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 2: figure out what's best for their organization. Obviously, Jaren Jackson

92
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,840
Speaker 2: is a surprise because you would think John Morant will

93
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 2: go first, but I think something else is gonna fall

94
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 2: in line. A big piece in this in this trade

95
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 2: is Walter Clayton Junior is one of the top, you know,

96
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 2: rookie guards. They haven't really got the opportunity in Utah,

97
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 2: so it could be a domino effect to where John

98
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 2: Moran gets traded. They build around a lottery pick in

99
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 2: Walter Clayton Junior and then find other pieces and then

100
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 2: you said the first future first round picks as well.

101
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 2: So I think Memphis is in a total rebuild mode.

102
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 2: They're trying to get it piece by piece and see

103
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 2: what they can get out of the guys. And then

104
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 2: John Moran's John Moran's next, for sure, He's not about

105
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 2: to play in that situation. Right, it was gonna be

106
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 2: like vice versus. It was gonna be either if John

107
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 2: Moran got traded first. I don't think Jaron Jackson would

108
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 2: have wanted to be there and be in that rebuild situation.

109
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 2: So it's it's a tough deal, but like that's the

110
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 2: NBA for you, and so like we'll see what happens next.

111
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 1: Well, okay, let's talk about it on the Jazz side.

112
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: And as you mentioned, you've been a part of a

113
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: Danny Inge team, Like what do you think he sees

114
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: in bringing Jaren to this team, a team that already

115
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: has I think two seven footers, Like you said, Jaren

116
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 1: and Laurie kind of play a little bit similar, like

117
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: who's moving, Who's who's like commanding that post. I mean

118
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 1: to me, if I look at that defensively, I don't

119
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: know who's driving on them. No easy baskets with that.

120
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,679
Speaker 2: With that crew, I mean, Danny's probably just adding value,

121
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 2: adding guys they have a value, so you can possibly

122
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,239
Speaker 2: make a deal somewhere else with other players on your roster,

123
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 2: Like they got a really good young roster. This exciting.

124
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,479
Speaker 2: He has pieces for the future as well, so you

125
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 2: never know what's going through obviously his mind or anybody's

126
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 2: mind in that situation. But I don't think that's it

127
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 2: for Utah. I think there's been a few more trades

128
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 2: for them and then them add draft picks and add value,

129
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,359
Speaker 2: so then they can be a contender at some point

130
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 2: because they haven't like they've been in rear Bill Molt

131
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 2: the last few years. So something got to click in

132
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,799
Speaker 2: terms of their timeline for the future.

133
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 1: I think what's uh we may I think we talked

134
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: about it before, is like the Jazz will get a

135
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,839
Speaker 1: random win against an incredible team, right, so there's this

136
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,919
Speaker 1: flash of optimism in there, right. I think this is

137
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 1: a move to where as everything gets shaken up next season,

138
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: like it should be no surprise if the Jazz are contender,

139
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Like and like you said,

140
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: it's like Danny and Sam Presty, like these are guys

141
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: who will just like collect it like random pieces that

142
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: you you kind of see like what they do with

143
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: them in the future, like the adams of packages that

144
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: they find value in each of their moves. It's very calculated.

145
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: But like, yeah, George, we've shown we've shown a lot,

146
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: Like you give him some pieces, like who knows that

147
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: team's gonna.

148
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 2: Be I mean, I mean, they're they're obviously got real

149
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 2: they got real young talent. They just need veteran presence

150
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 2: around them. They need guys have done it before so

151
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 2: then those younger guys can follow suit in terms of

152
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 2: how things are done in a winning situation. But nah,

153
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 2: that this is just one early move. Like there there's

154
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 2: probably a few more moves that the Utah Jazz are

155
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 2: gonna do because their roster is talented. But it's like

156
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 2: they got a few of the same players, and I

157
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 2: think they're they're they're just figuring out what they're gonna

158
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 2: what's the next move for them.

159
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 1: I'm even curious because everyone's always trying to get Kessler

160
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: because you know, the big man is valued.

161
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, Kessler's good, Like they all are like valuable big

162
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 2: man they like can guard multiple positions, can play on

163
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 2: the perimeter, that can shoot at a high level. So

164
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 2: it's like you see the trend that Danny Ainge is

165
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 2: going in terms of those the type of players that

166
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 2: they want in the front court.

167
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 1: Okay, let's move on to this other trade, which I'm

168
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: still trying to process. It was Chicago, Minnesota and Detroit

169
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: three team multi deal which sends Jaden Ivy, who is

170
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 1: an up and coming he's had some injury issues. Mike Conley,

171
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 1: who of course a vet like I would say the

172
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 1: absolute one of the top vets in the league going

173
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,559
Speaker 1: to the Bulls. And then the Bulls are dealing Wider

174
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: and Daria Sarich to the Pistons, number one team in

175
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: the in the East right now, and I think it's

176
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 1: still up in the air of what the Timberwolves are getting.

177
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 1: But what are you see in here? Like I think

178
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 1: this is one of like we're these the moves to

179
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 1: make Like did the Pistons need to budge? Like Ivy

180
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: is a lottery pick who showed some showed some great

181
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 1: flashes before the injury, hasn't really come back fully, but

182
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: did they given enough time to get back to himself?

183
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 1: So what do you think about district?

184
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 2: I think it is a little weird, but at the

185
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 2: same time, like Ivy is, he's gonna be second fiddle

186
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 2: to k Cuttingham no matter what. And he, like you said,

187
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 2: it was a lot o pick a couple of years ago,

188
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 2: had some freak injuries that has slowed him down. But

189
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 2: I think he's able to get to a team where

190
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 2: he can make mistakes, he can, he can play through mistakes,

191
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 2: he can, he can build confidence and get build the

192
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,479
Speaker 2: player that he's supposed to be. And then with Detroit

193
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 2: making that move, yeah, I don't think it made them

194
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 2: that much better, but they did get shooting. Kevin Order

195
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:54,439
Speaker 2: is a shooter they got. They they need the spacing

196
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 2: so k Cunningham could get downhill. So I don't I

197
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 2: see them probably making another move as well, like they

198
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 2: don't need to, but if it can make them a

199
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 2: little better, I think that puts them in position to

200
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 2: be a little closer to contend for a championship because

201
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,680
Speaker 2: as you look at the Detroit Pissons now, it's like

202
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 2: they don't have enough space. Like once once the playoffs come,

203
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 2: the court shrinks, man, and it's like you need shooters

204
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 2: out there with those type of guys. So then Kate

205
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 2: Cunningham ain't running into two or three guys at all times.

206
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 2: So I think that feels a little whole. Obviously they

207
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 2: got Duncan Robinson still, but they just need some valuable

208
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 2: shooting around and somebody that can make a play for

209
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 2: them other than Kate Cunningham.

210
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,199
Speaker 1: It's an interesting Yeah, like you said, like with Jayden,

211
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 1: like he can on his upside, right, But it's like

212
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 1: they're already number one. They were clearly the number one

213
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: team without Jaden. So it's like there is a team

214
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: out there in this case, who is it the Bulls

215
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:56,319
Speaker 1: who are willing to take a gamble, Like, let's see

216
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 1: what Jaden could do, but like he's not there yet.

217
00:10:58,440 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 1: He might need a little bit more time to pick

218
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 1: sense of like we're good, let's try out some other guys,

219
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: because yeah, potentially they have a real chance of the finals.

220
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 1: This yeries, So that's interesting. But Mike Conley the Bulls,

221
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,079
Speaker 1: Like here's how why I think of the Bulls. I

222
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 1: think the whole internet and fancying the Bulls is that

223
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,839
Speaker 1: they are forever playing team. So with Jaden and Ivy

224
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 1: and Mike Conley, is I guess Conley's veteranship is that

225
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: like can that be a game changer?

226
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 2: I mean he could have been just a throw into

227
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 2: the trade, no disrespect like that. I don't think they're

228
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,839
Speaker 2: trading him to get any production out of him at

229
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,559
Speaker 2: this point in his career. Yes, he's an ultimate vet.

230
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 2: Yes he can help those younger guards in terms of

231
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 2: their preparation and doing what you know BET's do in

232
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 2: that locker room and teach them young guys how to,

233
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,559
Speaker 2: you know, be the utmost professional in all situations. So

234
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 2: I think he can add value, but it's not it's

235
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 2: not necessarily value on the court as in him playing.

236
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 2: So I think it's somebody that's respected around the league,

237
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 2: somebody that has done has played at a high level

238
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 2: for a long time. But that's not a situation where

239
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 2: he's coming in and playing.

240
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: You never, I felt like people were saying that when

241
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 1: he uh, what was it in the Jazz and the

242
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: Timberwolves and he was well, I can't remember what serious

243
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 1: it was, but he was hitting down.

244
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, he played, he played well. Mike Connelly's one of them.

245
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 2: He's a He's been solid his whole career.

246
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:15,679
Speaker 1: Man.

247
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,680
Speaker 2: It's all love and respect to what he's been able

248
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 2: to do as being a smaller guard.

249
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 1: Yep, okay, And so this one broke last night. It's

250
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: not official, And would love to hear your thoughts on

251
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 1: the Darius Garland and James Harden trade. So, Harden, it

252
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 1: came out that he has asked for a trade, which

253
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,199
Speaker 1: would love to hear. I think the speculation is that

254
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 1: Harden is unhappy he didn't make the All Star team

255
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: requesting the trade. Darius, I think, like the Calves, while

256
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 1: they're they're sitting in the middle in the East, they

257
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 1: you know, they were the best team in the East

258
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 1: last year regular season, but they taking a step back

259
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: and so I feel like there's some panic buttons being

260
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,320
Speaker 1: hit here. What do you think about this trade? Is

261
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 1: this a good move for both? Like is adding a

262
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: Harden to a core contender the right thing to do.

263
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 2: It's a surprise first off, but I think the biggest

264
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 2: thing we got to mention is the reason why this

265
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 2: probably happened is the Clippers not wanting to give James

266
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:18,319
Speaker 2: Harden an extension. And James Harden is known for trying

267
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 2: to find a guaranteed extension, which is to each his own,

268
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 2: but any team that hasn't guaranteed him in an extension,

269
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 2: he's kind of you know, he's been out of here.

270
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 2: So I think that at this point in his career,

271
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 2: he's averaging twenty five and I think eight assists in

272
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 2: forty some games this year, Like he wants security, which

273
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 2: he should, and he's shown he's earned that, so I

274
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 2: understand his frustration. Yes, I'm surprised it's the Cleveland Cavaliers.

275
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 2: I think he can move the needle a little bit

276
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 2: in terms of making them better. But is it enough,

277
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:57,560
Speaker 2: Like is it enough? Is it championship basketball? You just

278
00:13:57,600 --> 00:13:59,959
Speaker 2: never knowing to you get there and see how he

279
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 2: jails with them. Darius Garland, I think it would be

280
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,559
Speaker 2: a good opportunity for him to leave. It's obvious Cleveland

281
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 2: is you know, decided that is Donovan Mitchell's team for

282
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 2: the most part and not necessarily moving on. But like

283
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 2: it gives him a good situation to go to a

284
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 2: playoff situation obviously and be able to be on a

285
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 2: veteran team and be with a superstar in Kawhi Leonard.

286
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 2: So I think it helps both teams. It doesn't move

287
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 2: the needle much though, but always getting a guy like

288
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 2: James Harden, it is still giving you twenty five and

289
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 2: eight in what year sixteen or something like that, It's

290
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 2: like you're probably taking that, especially if you don't have

291
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 2: to give a lot up, like you're giving up Darius Garland,

292
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 2: which is obviously a former All Star. But your plans

293
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 2: haven't been Darius Garland's plans, Like it's definitely been in

294
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 2: Donovan Mitchell's hands.

295
00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like Darius to LA or to the Clippers.

296
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 1: It's like, I guess for the Clippers, and we've said,

297
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 1: like they can be sort of dysfunctional over there, and

298
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 1: I never liked that when they had assembled that big

299
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: three of Kawhi, Harden and PG. Obviously Pg's gone, Harden's

300
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 1: asking for a way out. I think like somewhat of

301
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 1: a return to normalcy, a young star, a clear like

302
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 1: veteran star, and then just a solid roster like we've

303
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 1: seen them right after kind of we were like, what's

304
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 1: going on over there? They kind of broke off a

305
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 1: little bit of a winning streak and returned to some normalcy.

306
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 1: So I don't know, I think it is it would

307
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: be nice to see Darius get over there and just play.

308
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 1: I mean, it's weird to say in LA with a

309
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 1: little less pressure and feel like, you know, he could

310
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 1: take that take over that team. I think also coaching

311
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 1: under or being coached under ty Loot would be nice

312
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 1: for someone like Garland, a guy who could probably help

313
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 1: him out on the defensive side a little bit more too.

314
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, for sure, I mean, and then it's a surprise,

315
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 2: it's surprising because the Clippers have like been eighteen and

316
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 2: five since that look right, you know, since the beginning

317
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 2: when they were struggling, when they're at think six and

318
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 2: twenty one, they've been one of the hottest teams in

319
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 2: the league. So to see this happen out of nowhere

320
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 2: when you wouldn't think James Harden is going to get

321
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 2: traded at this point in his career. But like I said,

322
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 2: there must. I think my sources are telling me here

323
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 2: we go. My sources are telling me that there was

324
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 2: no agreement on an extension. So so he's trying to

325
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 2: find somewhere and I think Cleveland is one of them

326
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 2: teams is probably guaranteed him an extension in terms of

327
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 2: their conversations, like it got to be a team that's

328
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 2: going to extend him or he can walk and then

329
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 2: you lose everything.

330
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, do you think CP Chris Paul is

331
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 1: looking like I told you it's not regular over there?

332
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 1: You know?

333
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 2: Is he like it could be? But they've they've been

334
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 2: the hottest team in the league since That's true, ser

335
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 2: Chris Paul been out at it here and not not

336
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 2: saying is Chris Paul's fault at all? But it's something

337
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 2: has changed since then, and it's just a surprise right

338
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 2: now because they've been playing really well. But I understand it.

339
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:12,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, so obviously we said these are potentially Domino's.

340
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,160
Speaker 1: Let's let's say you got any crazy predictions that's about

341
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 1: to go down, like it's got to happen soon. And

342
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 1: and I think also I texted this in our thread.

343
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 1: I'm like, I think there's gonna be a crazy trade

344
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 1: to sort of NBA out of Silver's like super Bowls

345
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 1: coming up. We got to steal the shine. Some crazy

346
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 1: stuff happens over the weekend. Give me your craziest trade

347
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 1: prediction for the weekend or today.

348
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 2: I mean, I think Janni's is gonna get traded, like

349
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 2: I gets traded, like say Jannis or John Moran or

350
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 2: even Anthony Davis. Like that's gonna be That's gonna make

351
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:50,439
Speaker 2: the other teams be in panic mode, Like what especially

352
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 2: if Yannis our John Moran gets traded, It's like everybody's

353
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 2: gonna be trying to figure out what they need to

354
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 2: do to make sure they're in, you know, in the

355
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 2: race of winning a champion shit, because that's gonna be

356
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 2: a big one because nobody knows if it's gonna happen

357
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,160
Speaker 2: or where or where those type of guys are going.

358
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 2: And when a superstar gets traded in the middle of

359
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,400
Speaker 2: the season, kind of like how Luka, Doncics and them

360
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 2: guys got traded last year, it shakes up everything. Everybody's

361
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:20,920
Speaker 2: tripping out. So I think Giannis is I think he's

362
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 2: gonna get traded. I don't know where, but I think

363
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 2: you know what would be crazy if JNS got traded,

364
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 2: it's somewhere like okay, see, because they got the draft

365
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 2: capital for it. They got all the picks. They got

366
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:40,679
Speaker 2: what you need. Like, say you trade Jalen Williams, Caruso,

367
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 2: who else Mitchell and then draft picks for Giannis.

368
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:48,919
Speaker 1: I don't get it done. That's a win for the.

369
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 2: It's a win for the Bucks, and it's like the thunder.

370
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 2: Can you can go back to back?

371
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:59,719
Speaker 1: Yes, still, Jalen will get more buckets, Caruso will get

372
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 1: a little more plaintime.

373
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:02,439
Speaker 2: That's my prediction right there.

374
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 1: I like it. I like it, I just I would.

375
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 1: My text was, I watched Lebron, watch Lebron go. I

376
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:09,719
Speaker 1: know he has no trade clause, but I feel like

377
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: all the reports.

378
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:13,640
Speaker 2: Would be people Lebron dipped, but I don't know where

379
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 2: he's trying to gole gotta be somewhere. Oh yeah, yeah,

380
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 2: I mean but then now it's like we get.

381
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 1: Jared Allen over there over in the Lakers. Uh, they

382
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 1: got the center that they've been needing. Austin Reeves comes back.

383
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: Like that's a contender.

384
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, there they would want the Lakers will want Mobiley.

385
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's like, you know when that when the

386
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,479
Speaker 1: tribute happened the other night and Cleveland they just showed

387
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 1: out for Lebron and Brony, and it's like, I feel like,

388
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,920
Speaker 1: yeah they would, I mean Mobiley. The real basketball fans

389
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:47,919
Speaker 1: are like, why'd you do that? But Cleveland just like

390
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 1: we got Bronni back, we got Lebron back, you know.

391
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 1: But it's like, you give up a lot of pieces.

392
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,160
Speaker 2: In that, and that would be that would be dope.

393
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 2: It's just not putting your team in a situation to

394
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 2: do anything unless like a team wanted to sell tickets

395
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,360
Speaker 2: and all that. Yeah, you're getting all that, but it's

396
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:05,879
Speaker 2: going to mess up your future if you get a

397
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:07,159
Speaker 2: guy like that. Right now.

398
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:09,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I haven't. Here's another one I said, I said

399
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 1: Lebron for Kawhi.

400
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 2: Hell no that I ever have it. That would be crazy, though.

401
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 2: Swap just to swap want to be in LA, right, Yeah,

402
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 2: you dudes want to be in LA at this point

403
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 2: in their career.

404
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:26,680
Speaker 1: All right. So there's a couple of guys I want

405
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 1: to talk about as a snubs in our next segment here.

406
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 1: All Star rosters got finished, So we'll talk about the

407
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 1: All Star rosters when we come back here on Point Game.

408
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:44,440
Speaker 1: All right, welcome back to Point Game. The All Star

409
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 1: reserves just got announced here. Some names that we knew

410
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:50,719
Speaker 1: for sure, some surprises, and I think some guys that

411
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 1: I think well deserved. So let me just go through

412
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 1: the West list. Here it and you give me your reactions.

413
00:20:56,480 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 1: We got an Edwards, Chet Holmgren, Kevin Durant, Devin Booker,

414
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:06,959
Speaker 1: Denny Avdia, Lebron James, and Jamal Murray. So what do

415
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 1: you think hearing that in the West list, guys that

416
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 1: you really were sort of like rooting for. Any of

417
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,200
Speaker 1: those names come to come to mind, and then any

418
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 1: snubs come to mind in the West.

419
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,399
Speaker 2: Shout out to the first time All Stars Jamal Murray.

420
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 2: I sent them a text the other day. That's one

421
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 2: of my guys man from when I played for the Nuggets,

422
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,719
Speaker 2: somebody I was able to build a relationship with and

423
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:33,479
Speaker 2: just try to, you know, allow him to reach his

424
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:39,640
Speaker 2: potential and be that bad presence for him. But I'm

425
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 2: I'm happy for him the most for sure. I definitely

426
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 2: feel there's some guys that should have made it, though

427
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 2: they didn't. I feel like the Clippers should have had

428
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 2: one at least. Kawhi Leonard has been playing the best

429
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 2: basketball to anybody's this stretch of January. Really James hard

430
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 2: than his average in twenty five and eight, like he's

431
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:07,159
Speaker 2: the most consistent in year six or seventeen. So that

432
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:11,680
Speaker 2: was and then saying, goon, how didn't he make gun? Yeah,

433
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:15,120
Speaker 2: that's a tough one, and I know everybody can't make it,

434
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:18,399
Speaker 2: like obviously, and I don't want to take that from anybody.

435
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 2: Denny in Portland. I was surprised by that because Portland's

436
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 2: not good, like their record's not good, and obviously he's

437
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 2: been doing this thing. But usually when the coaches decide,

438
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 2: they're not usually deciding the guy from the losing team.

439
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:34,919
Speaker 2: And like we'll talk about the Eastern Conference in a

440
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 2: minute too, because there's a guy over there that's like, yes,

441
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 2: it's well deserved and it's all love and respect, but

442
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 2: that's tough to pick a guy All Star and your

443
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 2: team is just not doing well.

444
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:50,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you know these narratives. I think the

445
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 1: narratives rule the NBA. I think people started talking about

446
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 1: Denny like oh, it's a new guy coming in, and

447
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 1: so like that started. His name started getting floated that

448
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 1: we forgot about, like like like also to two Clippers

449
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 1: Kawhi and Harden, who are just putting up crazy numbers.

450
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:09,640
Speaker 2: That's that's in LA. That's crazy. How does not one?

451
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 2: So that's like that was surprising to me, fam.

452
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 1: But it's like yeah, with sing Gooon, it's I guess

453
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:19,120
Speaker 1: it's you know, Wenby's playing like it's hard. I guess

454
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,680
Speaker 1: it's all positionless. But like it's just stack. You said

455
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 1: it yourself. I was like, how is this Jamal Murray's

456
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: first time? It's Western conferences.

457
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 2: If he was on the Eastern Conference, he probably would

458
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 2: have been a multiple star easy. So it's it's just tough.

459
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 2: It's tough, like saying Goon definitely is an All Star,

460
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,680
Speaker 2: but like who do you take out? And then you

461
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 2: got Lebron James.

462
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:42,880
Speaker 1: You can't take out Lebron.

463
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 2: I mean you can't obviously, but if anybody there's guys

464
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 2: playing a little better, but you understand that one, Like

465
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,919
Speaker 2: it's Lebron James and he should be in there, But

466
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,160
Speaker 2: that's tough. Like if I'm in those other guys shoes,

467
00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 2: I'm hot.

468
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm not gonna hate should he should Lebron be

469
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,680
Speaker 1: on there? He hasn't announced his retirement.

470
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:06,160
Speaker 2: Not to cut you off, like his stats are are

471
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 2: amazing for a forty one year old and for anybody. Really, yeah,

472
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 2: those are amazing stats, but are they They weren't better

473
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 2: stats than James Harden or.

474
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,400
Speaker 1: Not better than called Kawhi's played games.

475
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 2: You know.

476
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:22,440
Speaker 1: It's like again, like I know there's all these biases

477
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 1: and in narratives LA, but it's like Kawhi's and LA,

478
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,920
Speaker 1: and I'm a lakersman and Lebron's one of my favorite players.

479
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 2: Yeah me too, So I get it. But it's like

480
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 2: when you think about it, are you put yourself in

481
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 2: those other guys shoes? Like how ain't I what's the criteria?

482
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:39,440
Speaker 1: Let's go to the East. I want to hear who

483
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 1: you think got snubbed here? We got Donovan Mitchell, Jalen Johnson,

484
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 1: new young guy with the Hawks, Karl Anthony Towns, Pascal Siakam,

485
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 1: Norman Powell, a guy who we said was gonna be

486
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 1: an All Star early on. Yes, Scottie Barnes, and Jalen

487
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:56,160
Speaker 1: Duran so surprises on this on this list.

488
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 2: So shout out to the first time All Stars Jalen Johnson. Jalen.

489
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:09,479
Speaker 2: The one that got me isam, like, you're on probably

490
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:13,360
Speaker 2: the worst team in the league, and like, yeah, he's

491
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 2: doing his thing and he is an All Star caliber player,

492
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 2: but we can't reward that. Like that's not like I

493
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,640
Speaker 2: don't I don't think that's especially coming from a vote

494
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 2: from you know, the coaches who get the reserves. I

495
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 2: was surprised by that. I was also surprised, like Brandon

496
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 2: Ingram's praying really good, his team's winning. Obviously they got

497
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:37,919
Speaker 2: Scottie Barnes in there. I don't know the guy that

498
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 2: I would put in there though, that didn't make it

499
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:46,159
Speaker 2: in the East and Be maybe and Be's been playing

500
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 2: really good, and Be's been playing really good and he's

501
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 2: been available. Shout out to Norman Powell. He should have

502
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 2: been All Star last year probably with the Clippers.

503
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,639
Speaker 1: And right if they had kept the Clippers, kept him

504
00:25:58,640 --> 00:25:59,959
Speaker 1: on the Clippers too, this could have been a real

505
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:00,679
Speaker 1: nice seasons.

506
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:04,919
Speaker 2: What I'm saying, it's like, it's weird who who's making

507
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 2: these decisions? Man?

508
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 1: And it's like, you know, eighteen and five or in

509
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 1: the last you know that streak and then all of

510
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 1: a sudden you're start one of your stars asking for out.

511
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 1: It's like, what's going on over there?

512
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:20,400
Speaker 2: What's going on? So I don't have anybody that might

513
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 2: have been snubbed other than maybe Brandon Ingram, But I

514
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:27,679
Speaker 2: just didn't think that Siakam was a good choice with

515
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 2: how bad they're doing it. Like, if you're doing that,

516
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 2: then you need to throw LaMelo Ball in it. You

517
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:35,119
Speaker 2: need to throw Michael Porter Junior in there. Like his

518
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 2: Siakam stats wasn't even better than Michael Porter juniors. He's

519
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,920
Speaker 2: avaging twenty six and like seven, So it's like, if

520
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 2: we're doing that, I think a guy like Michael Porter

521
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:47,120
Speaker 2: should have been in there.

522
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, I love Siakham, but I think it was

523
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 1: a little bit of what is it. It's like it's leftover.

524
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:56,359
Speaker 1: You know, they made the finals last year and then

525
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:59,120
Speaker 1: obviously the team is extremely hurt, and he just keeps

526
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 1: showing up and putting up numbers, and it's like.

527
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 2: Nah, he's doing his thing. He's doing his thing. He's

528
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:07,440
Speaker 2: having an All Star caliber season. I just don't feel

529
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 2: like you should reward a guy like that that you know,

530
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:12,359
Speaker 2: this team is one of the worst teams in the league,

531
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 2: but you know, to each his own, shout out to him.

532
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 2: It's all love and respect and the first timers that's

533
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 2: the big that's the most important. So like, shout out

534
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:22,440
Speaker 2: to y'all well.

535
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:25,400
Speaker 1: And my one observation from these rosters and hole even

536
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 1: with the starters, is that I think this is how

537
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 1: you fix the All Star Game is you get these

538
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 1: young guys who hopefully they're like, I'm here to compete.

539
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,479
Speaker 1: Obviously we know, like Victor Womanyama was saying that, like,

540
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 1: you know, Jalen Johnson getting in. I think Tyree Halliburn

541
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 1: even a couple of years ago when it was in Indiana,

542
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:43,920
Speaker 1: he came out he was trying to get the MVP

543
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:46,160
Speaker 1: from the jump. So I do like seeing new names

544
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:48,719
Speaker 1: on there who I think we'll just try to like

545
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 1: not chase the MVP, but like, hey, I'm in the

546
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:53,920
Speaker 1: All Star game, I'm gonna showcase my talent, so I like.

547
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 2: Some new energy, some young energy. Hopefully it changed some

548
00:27:59,359 --> 00:27:59,880
Speaker 2: things up.

549
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 1: What was it like when you got in, when you

550
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 1: first checked in your first All Star game?

551
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 2: That shit was crazy. That was one of the first

552
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 2: times I was a little nervous. My hands was really cold,

553
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,239
Speaker 2: Like I remember I met I think I missed my

554
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:15,880
Speaker 2: first layup, Like yeah, yeah, yeah, the first thing I'm

555
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 2: doing I'm getting to the cup. I feel I'm an airball,

556
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,880
Speaker 2: like I if I shoot a jump shot. But all

557
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 2: my All Star games, both of my I think I

558
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:26,919
Speaker 2: scored twenty on both but each game. So yeah, I

559
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 2: definitely was getting a little a few baskets. But that

560
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:33,159
Speaker 2: was one of the few times I've been nervous, and

561
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:35,160
Speaker 2: I don't even know why because it was a fun game.

562
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 2: But then you see all them celebrities watching you. You're

563
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 2: around your favorite players growing up watching it was like

564
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 2: the whole weekend made you a little nervous. But like,

565
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 2: I'm gonna remember that for the rest of my life.

566
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 2: Like that shit was so dope. Every moment of it

567
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 2: was dope. Like I'm on the bench and I'm looking

568
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 2: who's on my team? I'm like, I'm really on the

569
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 2: bench looking like this is crazy, not even thinking like

570
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 2: I'm just one of them too. But I'm like I'm

571
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 2: in the locker room tripping out like I'm the whole

572
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 2: both of my All Star years, I'm just like this

573
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 2: doesn't even seem real, Like everything's customized, like it's it's

574
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 2: everything you dreamed of, especially me as a kid watching

575
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 2: All Star games and watching the jerseys they had, watching

576
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 2: the customized shoes they had. So to have my own,

577
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 2: my own locker, my own all customized stuff, it was

578
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 2: like I was in basketball heaven for sure.

579
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 1: I love that. I love you. You're the great thing

580
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 1: about you, not only incredible player, but like you're a

581
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 1: basketball fan and like that is how everyone who watches it,

582
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 1: that's how they feel if they were.

583
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:45,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, like and when I'm in those moments, I promise

584
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:48,239
Speaker 2: you I feel like just like you will feel like

585
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 2: that's how I just be snapping out of it, like damn,

586
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 2: this is crazy then like yeah, yeah, it's just like that.

587
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 2: You know. I don't know if I told you my alias,

588
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 2: my own Calvin Cambridge, like my shit, just like that.

589
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 2: It's crazy because when I was a kid watching like Mike,

590
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 2: I'm thinking when I get to the NBA, it's gonna

591
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 2: be free room service. It's gonna be all of that.

592
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 2: Obviously it wasn't, but I was thinking it was gonna

593
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 2: be all of that.

594
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 1: I'm sure someone was like that. But I'll actually say,

595
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 1: we'll tie it to this because twenty sixteen, your first

596
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 1: All Star appearance, your guys is jerseys. I will say

597
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 1: those uniforms, I think we're probably the last good All

598
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 1: Star uniform. No shade to your next the next season.

599
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 1: But like that first one with the maple leaf and

600
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 1: all that, I thought that was clean.

601
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 2: Since then, I feel like it was clean. But I

602
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 2: always like I grew up on wearing your own jersey,

603
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 2: Like I feel like that was so dope when everybody

604
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 2: wore their own jersey had a little patch or whatever,

605
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 2: Like I always wanted to do that. Like obviously I'm

606
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 2: not gonna go there complaining, but I like that that

607
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 2: would have been dope to be a part of when

608
00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 2: when guys wore their own, you know, team uniform.

609
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 1: Well, okay, so then today, I don't know if if

610
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 1: you got to see it yet, but they just, uh,

611
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:09,239
Speaker 1: they just released what the All Star Game jerseys are

612
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 1: gonna look like they're doing like the three teams. So

613
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 1: they got to come up with now three different designs,

614
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 1: and so like one looks like the Women's Dream Team

615
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 1: jersey and the USA. The one on the right looks

616
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 1: like the Cavs throwbacks, the lebron the.

617
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 2: Rare ones look like the Women's USA when they were

618
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 2: in the back in the day. Yeah, like Lisa, yeah, yeah,

619
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 2: with Staley and all them, Ah yeah, yeah, they're they're

620
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 2: not it.

621
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 1: And I don't I don't know. I didn't know it

622
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 1: was that hard.

623
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 2: Go back to your own jerseys. That's just classic. You

624
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 2: could play a little patch something different, that's just different

625
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 2: than your regular jersey. But like that's that's when the

626
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 2: games was really cracking, though, CJ. When they was like

627
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 2: like that that one All Star game with Marberry when

628
00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:02,959
Speaker 2: they came back and there I was hot too, Like

629
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 2: I love those guys, but I was a strict I

630
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 2: was a Kobe fan, so yeah, I was. I wanted

631
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 2: the West to wind. But like those games, because you

632
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 2: knew once it got to the end of the third

633
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 2: and the beginning of the fourth, yep, it was going down.

634
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 2: Like they was playing they was playing hard and playing

635
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 2: to win. So I don't know, I don't know what

636
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 2: we do with these these uniforms, CJ. I don't know

637
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 2: what we do with the game.

638
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 1: We got to get in the lab with them, Like

639
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 1: I remember that two thousand game. Also too, was the

640
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 1: camera angle that used to like the cameras.

641
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 2: The one year where where Kobe's like this yellow Yeah,

642
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 2: I remember crossing. It's like you was right on the

643
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 2: floor with them. Yeah, like that was that was. Man.

644
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 2: We got to get that creativity back because that's what

645
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 2: like basketball was poetry in motion at that time. We'll

646
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 2: get they were amazing. Right now, it's still at a

647
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 2: high level. Right now, it's just those little things camera angles,

648
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 2: the design on the jerseys, like you gotta get that back.

649
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 1: The dunk contest. We gotta get guys who care, you know.

650
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 1: We gotta just fix the rules and all that.

651
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 2: Like I just making so much money. They're not tripping

652
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 2: on doing it no more. Man, they don't want to

653
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:17,120
Speaker 2: be embarrassed. Yeah, it's the cameras. Really, it's the video

654
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 2: that's all it is. When like when you really think

655
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 2: about it, like even how hard they don't go in

656
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 2: the it's just nobody wants to be embarrassed when the

657
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 2: whole world is watching. That's crazy and it's like it's

658
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 2: all good. You're like, it's against the best player in

Speaker 2: the world, just like you.

660
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:37,120

Speaker 1: All right, welcome back to point game here. One thing

707
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:57,279
Speaker 1: I wanted a story that I want to point out

708
00:35:57,320 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 1: because I was watching the game the other night, was

709
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:02,720
Speaker 1: j he seen Kid was getting criticized for playing Cooper

710
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 1: Flag at point guard. Who I think Cooper is just

711
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:08,360
Speaker 1: proven that he could play all positions on the floor.

712
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:11,319
Speaker 1: He's taking over games, has that confidence. But people were

713
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 1: saying or criticizing Jason Kidd for playing him at point guard.

714
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 1: Now you know, Jason Kidd, you've been watching Cooper. What

715
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:21,480
Speaker 1: do you think about this? Like? Should they be criticizing

716
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 1: coach if Cooper is playing as well as he is?

717
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:26,400
Speaker 2: Nah? Like I mean Jason Kidd, like he said, like

718
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:29,879
Speaker 2: I've done this at a high level, Like I've done

719
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,960
Speaker 2: this so like I know what I'm doing and he

720
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 2: did this. If people don't remember when he was the

721
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,160
Speaker 2: coach for the Milwaukee Bucks, he did this for Joannis.

722
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 2: He started him at point guard to get him those skills,

723
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:45,920
Speaker 2: to get him in those situations to where years later,

724
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:49,839
Speaker 2: if he's ever putting those point guard situations like, he's

725
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:52,279
Speaker 2: able to make plays out of that. And I think

726
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:54,880
Speaker 2: that's all he's doing for Cooper Flag. Yeah, at the

727
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 2: beginning of the year, it was it was tough because

728
00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:00,919
Speaker 2: Cooper Flag's never played that position. He's eighteen, nineteen years

729
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:05,360
Speaker 2: old starting his NBA career, so he's never been putting

730
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 2: it in a position to make others better and make

731
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 2: plays for others. I think as the game has slowed

732
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:14,920
Speaker 2: down over this season, he's been exceptional. Like he's been,

733
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:17,319
Speaker 2: He's been doing this thing. He's at forty nine the

734
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:22,479
Speaker 2: other week, like he's he's really been getting better each

735
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 2: and every game, each and every day, each and every week,

736
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 2: he's getting better and adding to, you know, his repertoire.

737
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,839
Speaker 2: But I think Jason Kidd was just frustrated. Obviously, they

738
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 2: just lost that night and a local reporter had just

739
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:39,360
Speaker 2: kept mentioning something about playing them at that point and

740
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 2: not liking that, But like Jason Kidd had to put

741
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:45,319
Speaker 2: pokers chests out, like y'all know what it is, Like

742
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:47,840
Speaker 2: I'm a I've done this at a high level and

743
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:50,359
Speaker 2: I know what I'm doing. So like it's y'all that

744
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:53,520
Speaker 2: are complaining. It's y'all the media that's that saying this

745
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:55,719
Speaker 2: a negative like nobody else is saying that.

746
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:57,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, to quote, I didn't even say what he said.

747
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:00,080
Speaker 1: He said, I know what the f I'm doing. I

748
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:02,080
Speaker 1: don't give an f what you guys, right, And it

749
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:05,520
Speaker 1: is like crazy the goal of like a journalist, I

750
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 1: don't care how storative a journalists. You are crazy to

751
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 1: tell Jason Kidd what to do with his point guard,

752
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 1: you know, like crazy, And you mentioned the Bucks thing also,

753
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:17,959
Speaker 1: like Jason Kid was on that twenty twenty Lakers team

754
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 1: as a coach when Lebron was point You know, it's

755
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 1: it's an interesting thing. The point guard position has evolved. Like,

756
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 1: of course, who's seen the shorter guards that can facilitate.

757
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:29,799
Speaker 1: But when you have a generational player who's bringing the

758
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:32,439
Speaker 1: ball up and who has that basketball IQ, of course

759
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 1: let him do it.

760
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:36,399
Speaker 2: I think it just adds to what he's already good.

761
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 2: At so, like when if he ever gets in playoff

762
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:41,680
Speaker 2: situations where he comes off to pick and roll and

763
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:44,279
Speaker 2: two guys two guys are on him, he knows how

764
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:47,319
Speaker 2: to make that play. He's made it thousands of times

765
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:50,240
Speaker 2: in the season. Instead of not putting him in that position,

766
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:52,719
Speaker 2: then when the playoffs comes, trying to put him in

767
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 2: that position and then he doesn't know what to do.

768
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:58,479
Speaker 2: So just imagine when Kyrie Irvin comes back, he's able

769
00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 2: to help him a little more those situations. He's able

770
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 2: to watch Kyrie Irvin play out of those situations that

771
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 2: Jason Kidd has put him in. This is only gonna

772
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 2: make him better in the long run. But obviously the

773
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 2: media and everybody wants him to be great right now,

774
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:17,359
Speaker 2: and there's just steps he has to follow to get

775
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:20,560
Speaker 2: to that level. And he's doing that like he's he's

776
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:23,600
Speaker 2: surprising a lot of people with his overall play, like

777
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 2: he doesn't really have any weaknesses.

778
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:28,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's going to be super interesting when

779
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:31,360
Speaker 1: the MAVs are in a year or two, like a

780
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 1: top four team in the West, which I feel like

781
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:35,959
Speaker 1: they're on track with, get a couple of guys healthy,

782
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 1: if they hold on an ad like it'll be interesting

783
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:40,440
Speaker 1: how people feel about Nico.

784
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:44,399
Speaker 2: You know, it's like just over and Nico is my dude.

785
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 2: Look look look Nico signed me to Nike like I've

786
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:50,839
Speaker 2: been Nico introduced me to Kobe for the first time.

787
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:54,560
Speaker 2: So Nico is like, like, I rock with Nico. But

788
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 2: they're Dallas. They they hate him, they hate They're not Yeah,

789
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 2: that's not ever gonna change like that. That yeah, that's

790
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 2: not ever changing. Crazy. That's like, no matter. They can

791
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:10,319
Speaker 2: win a championship next, they can win back to back

792
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 2: to back, and the fourth year, they're gonna be like,

793
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:18,720
Speaker 2: we still should have Luca right now. They're never getting

794
00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:19,560
Speaker 2: over that.

795
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:20,240
Speaker 1: That's tough.

796
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:23,120
Speaker 2: That's a tough deal right there. That sucks.

797
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:25,680
Speaker 1: Let's talk about some guys who deserve the shine in

798
00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:28,120
Speaker 1: our segment, no days off of course, anyone who's just

799
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:31,279
Speaker 1: listening for the first time, talking about some guys who

800
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:33,960
Speaker 1: the media doesn't necessarily puts shan out run their highlights,

801
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:36,400
Speaker 1: talk about on social and whatnot. But we're gonna do

802
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:38,880
Speaker 1: an all star edition here. So we mentioned these guys before.

803
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:41,560
Speaker 1: I think one on the West, one on the East.

804
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 1: I t so in the West, who do you think

805
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:45,360
Speaker 1: is getting your No Days Off.

806
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 2: Award Jamal Murray, I gotta go with him, Like he's like,

807
00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:51,800
Speaker 2: in anybody's eyes that watch the game of basketball, you

808
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 2: would think he should be at least a two or

809
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 2: three time All Star, especially with the success his team

810
00:40:56,560 --> 00:41:00,399
Speaker 2: has had. So for him to, you know, I only

811
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:02,759
Speaker 2: become an All Star like that, that says a lot,

812
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:04,839
Speaker 2: and it's well deserving, Like he's he's done this thing

813
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:10,440
Speaker 2: all year long. So I'm super happy for him. So

814
00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:12,960
Speaker 2: I think he's he's he's our No Days Off winner

815
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:17,400
Speaker 2: on the Western Conference because he's he's more than deserving

816
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:17,759
Speaker 2: of that.

817
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:20,839
Speaker 1: You spend some time with him in Denver, what's one

818
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:22,360
Speaker 1: thing that people might not know about him? Because I

819
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:25,400
Speaker 1: feel like he's like a pretty drama free guy, just like, Yeah,

820
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:27,560
Speaker 1: so people don't know much about him. So what's one

821
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:28,759
Speaker 1: one thing that people don't know.

822
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:32,280
Speaker 2: About Jamal Murray? Man, It's crazy because when we first

823
00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:35,240
Speaker 2: when I first got to the Nuggets, we right before

824
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:39,279
Speaker 2: training camp on me one of the assistant coaches and

825
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:42,200
Speaker 2: Jamal Murray went out to eat. The assistant coach wanted

826
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:44,600
Speaker 2: me to, you know, talk to just gaming up, game

827
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:47,880
Speaker 2: him up about you know, being a professional, being one

828
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:51,440
Speaker 2: of the best young guards in the league, like having

829
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:54,080
Speaker 2: goals of being All Stars, like having those talks. So

830
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:56,719
Speaker 2: like we went to dinner a few times, and that's

831
00:41:56,760 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 2: how we became, you know, a little bit closer, just

832
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:02,200
Speaker 2: in terms of just trying to be that older leader

833
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:06,920
Speaker 2: for him and trying to prepare him for you know,

834
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 2: what's happening now. Obviously, like I had no part in that,

835
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:13,640
Speaker 2: but it's it's dope to see the progression he's made

836
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:16,840
Speaker 2: the last four or five years in terms of becoming

837
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:19,560
Speaker 2: a better guard each and every day. But in terms

838
00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:24,000
Speaker 2: of somebody not knowing anything about him, he's he's super chill.

839
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:27,160
Speaker 2: He ain't doing nothing, he ain't doing nothing extra, he

840
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:30,879
Speaker 2: ain't talking too much. He's just he's just chilling. So

841
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:34,120
Speaker 2: how he plays is like how his personality is. When

842
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:37,359
Speaker 2: he's emotional and you you see on flexing, you don't

843
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:39,759
Speaker 2: see that a lot, so like that's a surprise show.

844
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:41,279
Speaker 2: That's how he is. Off the court.

845
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:43,919
Speaker 1: He's a killer. It's crazy that you know, first first

846
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:47,600
Speaker 1: time All Star, but he's just you know, the championships

847
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:50,320
Speaker 1: and he's always that guy to hit that dagger basket.

848
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:54,360
Speaker 2: And he's respected, like his peers respect him. Obviously, you

849
00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:55,960
Speaker 2: want to be an All Star, you want to have

850
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:59,160
Speaker 2: all those accolades. But one of the dopest things and

851
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:03,400
Speaker 2: one of the most respectful things, is if your peers

852
00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:06,640
Speaker 2: respect you like that's that says a lot. Like, yeah,

853
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:07,399
Speaker 2: that says a lot.

854
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 1: How about Eastern Reserve player.

855
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:12,600
Speaker 2: I'm going with Jaalen Duran. I'm gonna go with him

856
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:15,440
Speaker 2: because he just has that energy, like even when he

857
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 2: and they announced that he was an All Star, like

858
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:19,719
Speaker 2: that energy through in the middle of the game, Like

859
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:21,960
Speaker 2: you just see the big smile on his face. If

860
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:23,919
Speaker 2: you watch his interview at the end of the game,

861
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:27,359
Speaker 2: it was like he was just like a little kid.

862
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:30,520
Speaker 2: And I remember that feeling, like just being so happy

863
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:34,120
Speaker 2: for yourself because I don't think anybody in his circle

864
00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:36,440
Speaker 2: probably thought he would be an All Star, especially this

865
00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:38,960
Speaker 2: early in his career. I don't even know if he did.

866
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:43,360
Speaker 2: So for this to happen, and for it to come

867
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:46,120
Speaker 2: from the success of the team as well, you got

868
00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:47,640
Speaker 2: to give a shout out to those type of guys

869
00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:50,479
Speaker 2: because they don't get the love that they deserve. Dope.

870
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:52,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's gonna be exciting. Like I said, young guys

871
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:54,319
Speaker 1: in the All Star I think that's the way to

872
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:56,400
Speaker 1: fix it. These guys are going to be out there

873
00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:58,120
Speaker 1: to prove something their first time to the All Star

874
00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:01,000
Speaker 1: and then also Jalen Duran in the Don't Contest, so

875
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:04,200
Speaker 1: oh okay, that's another place that people forget the effects

876
00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:05,520
Speaker 1: of winning a dunk contest.

877
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:07,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, go ahead, and if you can do it, go

878
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:09,319
Speaker 2: ahead and do it. I remember one year they asked

879
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:12,440
Speaker 2: me to do it. I'm like, I'm like, fam, don't

880
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:15,239
Speaker 2: disrespect me like that. I can maybe I got one

881
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:18,839
Speaker 2: dunk and if and if that doesn't go in, it's over,

882
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:22,399
Speaker 2: Like I can't. I got it. I got one dunk

883
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:25,319
Speaker 2: that can get me probably an eight, and then it's

884
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:27,960
Speaker 2: starting for it. I can throw it up and win meal.

885
00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:32,480
Speaker 2: But it's like that's not enough, that's not enough. So

886
00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 2: when they asked me, I'm like, we ain't gonna do

887
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:37,920
Speaker 2: that one. We ain't gonna embarrass ourselves like that.

888
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:40,160
Speaker 1: That's uh. I mean honestly though, then you see like

889
00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:42,880
Speaker 1: these tall guys and they've been trying to do too much,

890
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:46,960
Speaker 1: like do it through their life and it's like five attempts,

891
00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:47,799
Speaker 1: you know, and.

892
00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:50,480
Speaker 2: You really gotta practice what you're gonna do because you

893
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:53,880
Speaker 2: go in there like you can't just you can't just

894
00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:56,360
Speaker 2: go off the top of the dome like you gotta

895
00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:58,200
Speaker 2: have you gotta have a plan.

896
00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:01,560
Speaker 1: I think people. I just showed my son the other night,

897
00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:06,680
Speaker 1: the twenty sixteen one in Toronto, the overtime dunk contest

898
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:08,719
Speaker 1: with you know, Zach Lavine.

899
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:10,839
Speaker 2: Versus I was the best one ever, This one ever.

900
00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:12,879
Speaker 1: People need to study film on that. It was a.

901
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:16,239
Speaker 2: Perfect mix of like I remember being there that was like,

902
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:18,680
Speaker 2: oh and exactly, you know he is Seattle guy, so

903
00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:22,400
Speaker 2: we was in there like we've seen all these dunks before.

904
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:25,719
Speaker 2: So yeah, when he was doing them, it wasn't even surprising.

905
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:28,480
Speaker 2: Like I was telling dudes, I remember all the All Stars.

906
00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:30,520
Speaker 2: I'm telling them over there, I'm like, he about to

907
00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:33,360
Speaker 2: do through their legs from the free throw line. Watch

908
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:36,120
Speaker 2: They're like the heck no, They're like, and he's doing

909
00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:40,000
Speaker 2: it so effortless, like so so easy, like he been

910
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:41,160
Speaker 2: doing that since high school.

911
00:45:41,719 --> 00:45:43,880
Speaker 1: He has what that what Jordan had as a rookie

912
00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:46,839
Speaker 1: where he's taken off but he like picks his legs

913
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:48,640
Speaker 1: up so it looks like he's just like effortlessly.

914
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:51,520
Speaker 2: Sol Man the truck, he's just walking in the air.

915
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:54,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what we need. That's what we need a

916
00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:56,360
Speaker 1: recipe of that. And I think like and they also

917
00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:58,799
Speaker 1: used props really well, Aaron Gordon at least like.

918
00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:02,960
Speaker 2: They use their head like they thought about it. Like

919
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:05,319
