Speaker 4: Nicely done?

117
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 5: All right? As we watched over the course of the week,

118
00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 5: the story. We started the week with the NBA celebrating

119
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 5: the NBA Finals, lamenting the fact that Kevin Durant got traded.

120
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 4: On Sunday morning, you know, you never really said what

121
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 4: you thought about the draft, though, did you like the

122
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 4: whole production? Did you enjoy it? Was it too much?

123
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 4: Stevie Day? I thought the second day was just horrible.

124
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,280
Speaker 4: It was like in the dark. It was like ten

125
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 4: people were inside that point.

126
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 5: But this is this is where I want. I'm not

127
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 5: one to throw you know, too many stones that at

128
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 5: folks in our media space. There's plenty of others that

129
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 5: declare themselves critics.

130
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 4: That's not just being quick and honesty.

131
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 5: And I'll be quick and honest with you. I'm in

132
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 5: the studio. I don't hear a damn word of brow.

133
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 4: I hear what you said, Okay.

134
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 5: I so like all of this, like when folks complain

135
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 5: about what announcer sounds like, Like I go, I'm home

136
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 5: on a Sunday, right, I do my show on Sunday mornings,

137
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 5: part of the preview leading up to to all of

138
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 5: our coverage and our countdown show right where they're giving

139
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 5: you some betting angles and then we get into you know,

140
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 5: red Zone radio and all that fun stuff. I'm not

141
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 5: here to watch games, and I've now been conditioned to

142
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 5: having done this time slot for as long as I have.

143
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 5: I don't listen to announcers when I'm a whole right. No,

144
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 5: I've dot music or I've got something else, like, I've

145
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 5: just conditioned to watch the play develop and to have

146
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 5: my own interpretation of what I think I saw.

147
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 4: I gave my criticism an hour one. I just said that,

148
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 4: and it's nothing ESPN could have done about it. But

149
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 4: the interviews with the family members, the parents, the siblings,

150
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 4: they're just cringe worthy. They really are. Mike, they one

151
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 4: word answers one kid. I don't know which kid. I

152
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,039
Speaker 4: don't even care. I don't want to give the names.

153
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 4: But he was like, he's like, I can't even talk.

154
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 4: I gave him the words can't come out of my

155
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 4: mouth and he just couldn't utter a word nothing. He couldn't,

156
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 4: you know, talk to the interviewer. It was just it

157
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 4: just gets so cringe worthy when you're talking to the

158
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 4: parents and the siblings. It's it's pretty funny, but it's embarrassing.

159
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, obviously, you know, we've all got different

160
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 5: angles and lenses from which we view these things, and

161
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 5: you know, part of me wants to give them the

162
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,599
Speaker 5: benefit of the doubt of it's the human moment, no

163
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 5: matter how much you've been expecting it, and maybe you've

164
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 5: spent their first five million before they've even put the

165
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 5: hat on. Because, let's face it, one in the in

166
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 5: the draft after what picked ten, everybody was wearing a

167
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 5: different hat by the end of the night.

168
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 4: Can I just want to say word at different huts?

169
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 4: How about you know everybody had a nice suit on.

170
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 4: I like one guy to show up in like Levi

171
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 4: jeans and a flatnel shirt. You know what I mean,

172
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 4: Just like, well if you get the business, yeah, the

173
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 4: old Billy Joel model.

174
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm kind of a suit but I'm wearing my sneakers.

175
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, like Google Bred Farm. I'm gonna throw Levi jeans,

176
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 4: T shirt, black and red flatnel shirt and this is

177
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 4: who I am. This is the way I want to dress.

178
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 4: I would love that.

179
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 5: But all of it to say, right with the family members,

180
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 5: it's not what they signed up for, right, Like I

181
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 5: I could have when my kids were younger. And look,

182
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 5: they they've got a lot of my snark, their pop

183
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 5: culture love whatever. But I didn't shove them in front

184
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 5: of a camera to try to make content with them

185
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 5: like many others in our business.

186
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 4: Dude, like Smith's daughter lately, I'm just well, you.

187
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 5: Said it, not me. But like they didn't sign up

188
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 5: for it, right, My ex wife didn't sign up for

189
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 5: this part of the business. Hey, you know what, now

190
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 5: you're a character. No, that's not it. Likewise, these folks

191
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 5: they may have been following and driving a lot of

192
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 5: their kids stuff since they were ten years old, eight

193
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 5: years old, whatever.

194
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 4: And overwhelming to at the point.

195
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 5: That's the thing though, No matter how much you've quote

196
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 5: prepared for it, it's like doing radio shows. Right, We've

197
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 5: done this a million times. Sometimes they're very easy to

198
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 5: get into and in and out of conversations and flow.

199
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 5: Sometimes you've got to cover a story that's just you.

200
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 5: You're choosing your words carefully right and trying to make sure.

201
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 5: I mean, look, someone's always going to be offended, right,

202
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,439
Speaker 5: we're talking about just the coverage of an NBHA draft.

203
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 5: You probably have some and pissed at you because you

204
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 5: said my mom or dad standing.

205
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 4: I'm just talking about the production though, And the next

206
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 4: day I felt like it was like in the dark

207
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,319
Speaker 4: Day two of the draft. Look at the data with the.

208
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,199
Speaker 5: Draft is like day three of the NFL Draft. No,

209
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 5: not even close, No, no, no, But I'm saying in terms

210
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 5: of who's paying attention, but.

211
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,959
Speaker 4: Nobody nothing's ever going to live up to the NFL Draft.

212
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,679
Speaker 4: It's a whole different level, right, No, you're it's on

213
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 4: a whole different level than the other sports. It's not

214
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 4: even closed, so there's.

215
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 5: No there's no question about it. I'm just saying, like,

216
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:37,839
Speaker 5: once we get past for day one, right, the pomp

217
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,679
Speaker 5: and circumstance, Day two for the NFL, okay cool? By

218
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 5: day three, it's like, how fast can we get through it?

219
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 5: And I love the NFL and I love college football.

220
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 4: And there used to be a big draft, the NBA

221
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 4: used to be a big time draft. People used to

222
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,560
Speaker 4: pay attention to. The NBA used to be six rounds.

223
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 5: I believe, well, but we also once upon a time,

224
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 5: and this is where you and I show our wizdo

225
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 5: the notice I didn't say our age. We show our

226
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 5: wisdom by the fact that it was a different world

227
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 5: completely in the sporting landscape, right, college basketball. We watched

228
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 5: these guys and they didn't transfer, right, you had to

229
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 5: sit out the punitive effects. You watch these same teams

230
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,959
Speaker 5: battle thirty plus times a year, right, right, and you

231
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 5: stay right, But we knew who these guys were. Yes, Like,

232
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 5: if you cared about college basketball at all, you knew

233
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 5: who these guys were, down to pick thirty five, pick

234
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 5: forty in the draft. Yeah, there would be the random

235
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,959
Speaker 5: outlier of a guy that you know, they projected, they know.

236
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:40,719
Speaker 4: Him in the third round and the fourth round when

237
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 4: it was now you're dating your SyES. I know that,

238
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 4: but there was still But I mean, really, that's why

239
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 4: there was six rounds back then, because there was a

240
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 4: lot of talent. People would recognize those names.

241
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 5: You were teams, but you recognize those names. Like yesterday,

242
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 5: Smith and I were joking. Most of the names that

243
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 5: you really knew out of college basketball. Where the guys

244
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 5: signing the two way deals your Caleb loves.

245
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, you're one hundred percent right on that.

246
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 5: Right, here's all the guys that we watched Nemhard's brother, yep,

247
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 5: all of those Like we suddenly saw a slew of

248
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 5: names of guys that we knew from college basketball once

249
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 5: upon a time. And I can go back going through

250
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,319
Speaker 5: the draft pick trading cards in ninety two, ninety three,

251
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 5: ninety three, ninety four.

252
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 4: We knew who all those guys were. Right, you go

253
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 4: through hall of famers, they're all Hall of Fame, but

254
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 4: a lot.

255
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 5: Of them, like you knew who was in the draft

256
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 5: lottery all the way through a year after year, all right,

257
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 5: who was picked four? And it was like we were

258
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 5: doing the Steve Hartman thing. Shout out to our buddy

259
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 5: Steve Hartman, the walking Encyclopedia Sports. Well, it's upon a.

260
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 4: Time that was the thing.

261
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 5: But you knew who they were, their rotations, how many

262
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 5: points they scored, all of those things because you watched them.

263
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 5: Now you get the one and done first round you

264
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 5: only had.

265
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, but we didn't watch them as much as we

266
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 4: watched teams. Now, we didn't have as many channels. It

267
00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 4: wasn't as easibly accessible to watch all those games like

268
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 4: it is now. It's a completely different era now.

269
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 5: No, but the guys from teams that were hallmarks, right,

270
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 5: we've still gotten them, is I guess the point? And

271
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 5: during the telecast they made sure to apprise you of

272
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 5: any college player that mattered, and then we'd see them

273
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 5: in the tournament, so you'd get a grand stage ceremony

274
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 5: for at least a year or two years, kind of

275
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 5: like we've had with the Yukon players these last couple

276
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 5: of years. We got to know those those players, right,

277
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:34,199
Speaker 5: because they they had a lot of run and a

278
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 5: lot of.

279
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 4: Camera time, not just their coach.

280
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 5: Right, But back then it was the same thing coming

281
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 5: out if you were a two year, three year starter

282
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 5: at Georgetown or or go to Syracuse or.

283
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 4: Down the line St. John's. Back in the day, the

284
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:51,959
Speaker 4: Big East.

285
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 5: Got a lot of run, right. I was a Big

286
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 5: ten guys, so a lot of the Big ten guys.

287
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 5: But you know, certainly it's changed in that regard. While

288
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 5: we have more access, it's diluted. So it's not the Hey,

289
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 5: this is the must watch, like even Big Monday doesn't

290
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 5: have the same juice it did fifteen years ago, because

291
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 5: now you can buy a package and access any game

292
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 5: you want anytime, right, So it's not, Hey, you know what,

293
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 5: We're gonna feed you the best of the best, and

294
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 5: you're gonna love it.

295
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 4: For the first time in a long time. I want

296
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 4: to see Dallas Maverick games. I want to see what

297
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 4: Cooper Flagg is gonna do. I told you I'm expecting

298
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 4: I guess a lot more.

299
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,439
Speaker 5: Well, and that's when we'll put a pin in it

300
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 5: right there, because we can take a long lens approach

301
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 5: to what the Dallas Mavericks are because you know, Smith

302
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 5: and I we don't agree on a lot of stuff,

303
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 5: but we agreed when that trade initially went down. When

304
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:49,199
Speaker 5: Luka Doncics was sent to the Lakers, I was really

305
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 5: curious to see what that version of the Mavericks was

306
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:56,200
Speaker 5: going to be. Now, Kyrie Irving gets hurt, Anthony Davis

307
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 5: missed a significant time surprise surprise on both of them.

308
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 5: I know it's always wishing, wanting and hoping. Going back

309
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 5: to our friends with the f one the movie, a

310
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 5: line that we've used a lot on the show through

311
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 5: the years. Hope is not a strategy that shows up

312
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 5: in the movie. So the writer's room, I want you

313
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 5: to just nod and wave in my general direction. But

314
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 5: you know, for the Mavericks, you had a core that

315
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 5: at least gave you a little bit of a passing fancy.

316
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 5: We'll see if that translates for twenty eight, twenty five,

317
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 5: twenty six, Arnie already deification of Cooper Flag has begun.

318
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 5: He might build a statue just like the Giants are

319
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 5: gonna do for Barry Bonds. We'll do that and we'll

320
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 5: do Cooper Flag as we continue. Is that cool?

321
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 4: Yeah? Absolutely?

322
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,080

Speaker 5: an F one car.

347
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:22,600

348
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 5: Man?

349
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 4: It was a lot of fun when I did the

350
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 4: two seat you sit right behind the driver. And the

351
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 4: guy that drove me was actually in the Indy five hundred.

352
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 4: He just was like a fifteenth place finisher, how about

353
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 4: that or something like that. It is, and I don't

354
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 4: know the speed if he could have gone to ten,

355
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 4: he held it back to like one eighty. But he

356
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 4: really wasn't supposed to go more than one seventy, but

357
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 4: he did with me because the whole radio thing. But

358
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 4: it's incredible, Mike. I mean they you're turning one way

359
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 4: and the cars turning the other. I mean, you lose

360
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 4: all your on where you're going. It's it's intense, more

361
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 4: intense than I ever thought I.

362
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 5: Would say this. You know, obviously I've not experienced that.

363
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:13,639
Speaker 5: At one point, my my ex wife did the Richard

364
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 5: Petty experience. We were in Vegas. Oh, she had a

365
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 5: blast going around the track. You did that a couple

366
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:22,159
Speaker 5: of times, uh, and had fun with that I I

367
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,160
Speaker 5: have it on my list of things I would love

368
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 5: to check out, no question about it. And and certainly

369
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:31,879
Speaker 5: the movie there there's plenty of moments where you're leaning forward,

370
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 5: you're getting into the fields, You're waiting for that that

371
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 5: big hit, and you know, we I'm blessed, you know

372
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,639
Speaker 5: the Sunday morning show I do here on Fox Sports Radio,

373
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:44,199
Speaker 5: Fox Sports Sunday Buyer and I now and uh, you know,

Speaker 5: we get the F one races or in our window.

375
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 5: So every once in a while, you know, my eyes

376
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 5: are glazing over. He's like you all right over there,

377
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 5: I'm like, does this guy just narrowly avoided? Does that?

378
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 3: You know?

379
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 5: And you start getting into it as you're watching it,

380
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 5: having the same thing.

381
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 4: Man, I could barely just sit there and let the

382
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,360
Speaker 4: guy drive without getting sick, you know what I mean.

383
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,120
Speaker 4: I can only imagine trying to drive this thing. It's

384
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,640
Speaker 4: it was intense. It was a lot of fun. I'm

385
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 4: glad I got to do it though.

386
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 5: Way there you see Arnie Spaniard. I'm sure there's some

387
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:16,120
Speaker 5: video just like you see.

388
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 4: I got pictures. I did take pictures, Yeah, of course

389
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 4: you did.

390
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 2: Ye.

391
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 5: I've been joking that I was gonna take a wear

392
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 5: a fire suit. I do not own one currently, but

393
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 5: I'm looking for it because eventually, I mean, we're gonna

394
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 5: be loading up all sorts of extra sponsors here. So

395
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 5: I'm gonna have patches, you know, like Rob Barker has

396
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 5: the Fox Sports Radio patches. Yeah, exactly, I'm gonna have

397
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 5: the sponsors all over me. I walk billboard with my

398
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 5: wide ass back. Let's go the road to swol All right,

399
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,640
Speaker 5: now we're talking the NBA draft. We had Cooper Flag

400
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:50,120
Speaker 5: was the next jumping off point. Right Sunday we get

401
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:54,479
Speaker 5: the NBA Finals, Game seven, we finish it off. Oksee wins.

402
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:59,199
Speaker 5: Kevin Durant traded that morning, folks, lamentation and hand ringing

403
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 5: all false goods. We like news, we like stories. You

404
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 5: didn't like it Sunday morning. You know, get over yourself,

405
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 5: moving on. You're not an Adam silver If in his

406
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 5: honest moment, as much as like, oh, he'd hate this,

407
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:16,119
Speaker 5: He's sitting there going they're talking about us. They're actually

408
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:19,159
Speaker 5: saying something positive about the league in one of our

409
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 5: big stars moving he was happy as hell, don't get

410
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 5: it wrong. But then we get Cooper Flag, Like I said,

411
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:30,120
Speaker 5: you had, to bet one hundred thousand dollars to really

412
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 5: win much of anything in all of this because the

413
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 5: prohibitive favorite to it all and now it's a done deal.

414
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 5: He goes to Dallas meeting with the media. He said

415
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:47,120
Speaker 5: everything he's needed to to just lay it out of. Hey,

416
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:52,159
Speaker 5: I'm one of a pretty pretty loaded team. Good opportunity here.

417
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 5: Nico Harrison, at least for the moment, gets to feel

418
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 5: some ATA boys, even though it was the obvious pick,

419
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 5: goes well, fractured relationship and certainly the butt of many

420
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,959
Speaker 5: a joke since trading Luka Doncic, even though they did

421
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,640
Speaker 5: get Anthony Davis in return, and as I alluded to

422
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 5: in the tease ahead for this story, I was curious

423
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 5: to see what that team could have done had they

424
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 5: stayed healthy. Now clearly everything went to hell. Kyrie gets hurt,

425
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 5: Davis misses time, Klay Thompson's there, but not the same

426
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:28,880
Speaker 5: Lively missus time, Washington Gaffer like everybody's missing some time.

427
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,640
Speaker 5: You don't get a lot of continuity together, and then

428
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,640
Speaker 5: you limp to the end, but you bring that all

429
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 5: back and now you have Cooper flag instarted therein So

430
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 5: I'm curious, I mean it's a loaded West, so it's

431
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 5: a lot of running up to do.

432
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 4: But you asked the question, right, But the question is

433
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:51,679
Speaker 4: would you rather have Cooper flag or SGA? Would you

434
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 4: rather have Cooper flag or Giannis? Would you rather have

435
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 4: Cooper flag or Jigob Brunson? I mean, how how do

436
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 4: you think of this guy with him or Anthony Edwards?

437
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:02,359
Speaker 4: What do you think?

438
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 5: I'll take sight unseen, I'll take I'll take what Cooper

439
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:09,399
Speaker 5: flag may.

440
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 4: Be overall Edwards for sure, over s G. A. Yes,

441
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:17,160
Speaker 4: I would probably do it too.

442
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:20,399
Speaker 5: Yeah, probably, even though he is the defending m v

443
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 5: P and I'm sure there's some folks shaking their heads.

444
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 4: I would take Cooper flag over one Bayama.

445
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,360
Speaker 5: Look at you see there there there.

446
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, but that's that's my point. He's supposed to be

447
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 4: the first billion dollar player talking about Cooper flag.

448
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 5: That's an accident of birth. Okay, but that quoted Jethro Right,

449
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,439
Speaker 5: you tell me that I'm my father's son when that

450
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 5: was just an accident of birth.

451
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:48,160
Speaker 4: Okay, Well, that's you're you're you're right about the birth thing.

452
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 4: That's he's gonna be benefiting from right in the right place.

453
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 3: Right.

454
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 4: But again, he's supposed to be the face of the NBA. Sure,

455
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,919
Speaker 4: he's supposed to be the Magic Johnson and Larry Bird

456
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 4: coming in and nineteen seventy nine. He's the guy that

457
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,199
Speaker 4: everybody's going to want to be watching. He's going to

458
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:09,719
Speaker 4: be pulling ratings up, like Caitlin Clark pulls ratings up

459
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 4: for the WNBA. That's what this kid's going out.

460
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,400
Speaker 5: Now. I think you're I think that's a stretch.

461
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 4: No, why is it? Are you kidding? That's a stretch.

462
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 4: That's a stretch. I mean, look at the ratings this year.

463
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 5: And from what the WNBA was to games, including Caitlin Clark,

464
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 5: because it's only Kitlan Clark.

465
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 4: It ain't the rest of the league, right, No, you're

466
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,399
Speaker 4: right about that. But the NBA's ratings were not that

467
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:36,959
Speaker 4: good this year, even when they were passing out that

468
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 4: phony Look what they did in Game seven, it was

469
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 4: still down fourteen percent, I believe in the playoffs from

470
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:43,160
Speaker 4: last year.

471
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:45,920
Speaker 5: So don't why why do you say the Game seven

472
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 5: was phony?

473
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 4: No, the ratings were. They were pumping it up about

474
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 4: how many people watching compared to the last Game seven.

475
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,400
Speaker 4: Ratings in the NBA have not been good, no matter

476
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 4: what some people try to tell you and Cooper Flag, Wait,

477
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 4: do you see the ratings for the Dallas Mavericks. Wait

478
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,959
Speaker 4: to see the ratings when they start putting the MAVs

479
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,159
Speaker 4: games on TV so people can see Cooper Flag.

480
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:14,919
Speaker 5: I hope you're right. I don't know that. Even a

481
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 5: couple of years ago, when when Minyama was coming in

482
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 5: and everybody was wondering what he was all about. It

483
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 5: didn't translate to Gonzo ratings.

484
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 4: No, but he thought it was polarizing as Cooper Flag is.

485
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 4: Cooper Flag is.

486
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 5: More polar polarizing. Well, I mean, look at everybody loves

487
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 5: him and wants to wants to see greatness.

488
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:34,880
Speaker 4: He knew he was going to be the number one

489
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:39,120
Speaker 4: peck years ago. Yeah, and he did play for Duke,

490
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 4: so that's more of a high profile team.

491
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, but nobody cares. Nobody hates them the same way

492
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 5: they did, unless you're at North Carolina when they start

493
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 5: pointing out that you've won nothing and you've had nobody drafted,

494
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 5: and your last All Star that was drafted was Vince Carter.

495
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:57,639
Speaker 5: How about that Carolina guy?

496
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:00,439
Speaker 4: You know how like Michael Jorge And it was so

497
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 4: much better in the NBA than college there's like, remember

498
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:05,200
Speaker 4: the old joke there's only one person that can stop

499
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 4: Michael Jordan, that'steen Smith.

500
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 5: Still true.

501
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,159
Speaker 4: Well, I think Cooper Flag is going to be so

502
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 4: much better in the NBA, you know, so much my

503
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 4: wide open the defense not nearly like it was in

504
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 4: college when you're getting double teamed or going up against

505
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 4: certain defenses, zone defenses. So I think it's going to

506
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 4: be a lot easier for him to get points in

507
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 4: the NBA than it was in college.

508
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 5: Well, I think it's a question of night to night

509
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,880
Speaker 5: what he's called upon to do, though, right is, as

510
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 5: I laid out, you got a lot of talented guys,

511
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 5: and he's a distributor as much as anything like. That's

512
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 5: one of his his hallmarks here is that he's look,

513
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 5: can he fill it up? Sure, there's gonna be Knights

514
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 5: where he's a thirty point scorer. I think you're gonna

515
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 5: see other Knights where he's not Jason Kidd of ten

516
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:51,119
Speaker 5: ten ten, Right we're at you know, eighteen eight and

517
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 5: eight or things of that nature. Because Anthony Davis has

518
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:58,679
Speaker 5: the hot hand, or he's doing the lob game to

519
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 5: the other big men.

520
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 4: You you don't find them as polarizing as Kate and Clark

521
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 4: down is what you're saying.

522
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:08,399
Speaker 5: Well, I don't think there's an animus towards him, like

523
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:13,879
Speaker 5: the Clark thing became a fight within the w n B.

524
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:17,639
Speaker 4: A true Cooper Flag.

525
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,440
Speaker 5: Look, the NBA is a is a lot. I think, Hey,

526
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 5: whatever's going to help lift everything. I think everybody's on board.

527
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,120
Speaker 4: Right, you're right about especially.

528
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 5: When the commissioners showing up on TV shows and wagging

529
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:32,399
Speaker 5: his finger at partners for how they cover the league.

530
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 5: And I think anything that's going to help, Uh, you're

531
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 5: gonna get the push. But like, I don't think there's

532
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 5: hate watching of him. No, you're right, of any stretch.

533
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,359
Speaker 5: Like with Kate Leclark, there there was there was a

534
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 5: bit of back and forth one because she was being

535
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 5: declared the great before.

536
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,399
Speaker 4: Just like Cooper Flag is though, just like Cooper Flag

537
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 4: is well.

538
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 5: But he was he's being declared the great for this

539
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 5: draft like he was the de factor.

540
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 4: No no, no, no, no no no, no, he's being there.

541
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 5: Maybe I've been, you know, while doing twenty some odd

542
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 5: hours of radio a week. Maybe maybe I've been in

543
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,440
Speaker 5: a bubble that I haven't heard the deification of him

544
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:11,159
Speaker 5: the way.

545
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 4: I'll take it is that Cooper Flag is going to

546
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 4: be the next superstar of the NBA, the next the

547
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:19,880
Speaker 4: next Uh, does he deserve to be in the top

548
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,879
Speaker 4: twenty five players and that type of talk, you know.

549
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 5: And that's fine, But that's much different than what Caitlyn

550
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 5: Clark is. Caitlin Clark's being seen as a savior. That's

551
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,119
Speaker 5: not where Cooper Flag's coming into the league. No, but

552
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:35,199
Speaker 5: he's coming in as another great player who could ascend

553
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 5: to be a multi all NBA.

554
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,959
Speaker 4: Right, But ratings will still, ratings will still go up

555
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:43,920
Speaker 4: with him. There's no doubt it'll be. It'll be night

556
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 4: and day. You'll you'll see when he starts playing it.

557
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 4: You'll see from the first Summer League game how many

558
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 4: people are going to tune in to see that game.

559
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 4: Though there's not much against it, that's for sure.

560
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 5: Well, that's the other part, right, when we're comparing to nothing,

561
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 5: to your point about the the end of.

562
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:06,400
Speaker 4: The NBA Finals raiders, right, Cooper Flag better than nothing,

563
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 4: So t not in now.

564
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,680
Speaker 5: With the point being that you brought up Game seven

565
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 5: and you're saying, well, fugazy ratings and numbers there, Well,

566
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,120
Speaker 5: I would believe that a bunch of people actually showed

567
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:19,160
Speaker 5: up for a Game seven. It's winner take all, roll

568
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:20,680
Speaker 5: the ball out to the middle of the court, and

569
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,679
Speaker 5: let's go. By the NCAA tournament. You don't need to

570
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 5: know the teams, the principles, whatever. When it's one and done,

571
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:31,879
Speaker 5: you're gonna get a decent critical mass that assembles. Likewise

572
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 5: for the for the NBA, it's a game seven, you're

573
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 5: gonna get some numbers. Game one through six in Oklahoma City.

574
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:42,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, they were bad.

575
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,239
Speaker 5: If you love basketball, you're in. If not, you catch up,

576
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 5: and then you have to decide how much you love

577
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 5: fun with numbers. With Adam Silver as he does his

578
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:54,919
Speaker 5: Richard gear Chicago, look what I'm doing near people, I'm

579
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 5: culturing everybody. I'm wearing a glitter suit and telling you

580
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 5: give him the old razzle dazzle about our international numbers,

581
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 5: about our TikTok and YouTube views and whatever else.

582
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:08,680
Speaker 4: Plike used to get mad at me when I would

583
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 4: make fun of Oklahoma City, and you know I still

584
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:16,400
Speaker 4: will that that's so offensive. They're the NBA champs and

585
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 4: and all that stuff. Too small well, too small markets

586
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 4: destroyed the interest in this NBA championship. That's just the

587
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 4: way it's got to be. The ratings were down game seven,

588
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 4: they weren't as good as they were trying to make

589
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:31,359
Speaker 4: it out to be.

590
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 5: But it doesn't. It doesn't mean that the basketball players

591
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 5: in the basketball play was any worse. No, I'm not

592
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 5: taking run concurrently.

593
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 4: No, you're right, I'm not saying it was any worse.

594
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 4: I'm just saying interest level wasn't theirs as if it

595
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 4: was obviously the Knicks or the Lakers or Boston or

596
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 4: any of those are the you know, any of those teams.

597
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 5: Well, but that's just it, right, we go to the

598
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 5: coast and again it's not denigrating any of the players.

599
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 5: And if you take offense that you know, for the city,

600
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 5: the state, I mean, I appreciate the civic but I

601
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 5: mean the reality is the reality, and the numbers bear

602
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 5: it out going back decades like that's this isn't new.

603
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 4: Well, next year is not going to be a very

604
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 4: fun year for the for the NBA because the Eastern

605
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 4: Conference has already been decided. Now that Hallo Burton had

606
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 4: the Achilles and he's out for the year, that takes

607
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 4: care of Indiana and Boston and Tatum being out, that

608
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 4: takes care of Boston and only these one team left

609
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 4: for the Eastern Conference, and that's my New York Nicks.

610
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 4: So even without a coach, so we might as well

611
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 4: put them in the NBA Championship right off the bat.

612
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 5: Look at you tell me Cleveland still has better odds

613
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 5: in Cleveland.

614
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, good luck to them if you believe in that

615
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 4: is Lebron going back to Cleveland. Did I miss Oh?

616
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 5: Wait, I missed. There was an important thing in a

617
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 5: detail for the Knicks that we were supposed to ask about,

618
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 5: who's your coach?

619
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 4: Yeah? That goes to show you coaching is over rated.

620
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 4: When you could still be one of the favorites to

621
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 4: win the Eastern Conference without a coach, you couldn't be

622
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 4: one of the favorites to win to go to the

623
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:10,520

631
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:32,280
