17
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,680
Speaker 1: Windy City No Dunks T shirt that we released a

18
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:16,119
Speaker 1: few weeks ago. Last time I checked, guys, we had

00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: sold over two hundred of these bad boys, so thank

20
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 1: you to everyone who has picked one up. There's a

Speaker 1: big batch getting shipped out later this week, so hold

00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: tight if you don't have yours yet in your hand

00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 1: on your body. But the great news is that all

24
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: of those proceeds are going to the American Nurses Foundation.

25
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: I don't know. We make like something like seven bucks

26
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: per shirt, so we're sending close to fifteen hundred dollars

27
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: to the American Nurses Foundation this week. So perfect timing

28
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 1: today awesome. It's National Nurses Day. So congrats and thanks

29
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: to everybody for buying one of those T shirts.

30
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 4: Huge, huge news, And we got a little T shirt

31
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 4: tees a little bit later in this show as well.

32
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 4: So first question, we'll get to you right here. Hey,

33
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 4: no Dunkers. I was born in nineteen ninety eight. I'm

34
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 4: twenty one now, so I basically missed all of Michael

35
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 4: Jordan's career. Even still, I've studied him. I've written three

36
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 4: papers on him in college. I will stand him until

37
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 4: the day I die. After watching the last dance and

38
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 4: seeing Jordan's shot over Craig Elo, I started to think

39
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 4: it's crazy. Elo will go down in history as the

40
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 4: guy MJ shotover. Are there any players in the last

41
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 4: twenty years that will be remembered for getting embarrassed rather

42
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,639
Speaker 4: than anything they did in their career? Thanks for making

43
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 4: the pause and keeping us all entertained. Turn up, love

44
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 4: you guys awesome.

45
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 5: Ps.

46
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 4: I mentioned my age only because I never really knew Elo.

47
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 4: If he was good, please roast me on the podcast

48
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 4: that's from Alex Horton. Now, Elo very serviceable fourteen year career.

49
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 4: But I think that just speaks to the point that

50
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:51,079
Speaker 4: Alex is making. He will be known as the guy MJ.

51
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 4: Shotover because that's how you go down and infamy. And

52
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,959
Speaker 4: I think one of those guys in the last ten years,

53
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 4: even we don't have to go back that far, I think,

54
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 4: is Brandon Knight guard a little guy DeAndre Jordan crushed

55
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 4: with that alleyup dunk over top of him in twenty thirteen.

56
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 4: So we're going back seven years and Brandon Knight even

57
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,519
Speaker 4: a better player than Craig di lo in terms of scoring,

58
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 4: in terms of being even a borderline All Star one year.

59
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 4: The year after he had about eighteen points per game.

60
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 4: But he'll be best known for twenty thirteen when Twitter

61
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 4: was fairly big. But this is the first time that

62
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 4: I remember a hashtag rip somebody that hadn't died in

63
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 4: the basketball world that he went basically through the floor.

64
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 4: People on Twitter animating a coffin going into the floor

65
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 4: for Brandon Knight as DeAndre Jordan crushed on him. The

66
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 4: DeAndre Jordan's stank face as he turned around. That moment,

67
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 4: right there is Brandon Knight's moment. That's really how he

68
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 4: will be remembered.

69
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you put Brandon Knight's name into YouTube, the

70
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 2: top three results are all of Brandon Knight's worst fails.

71
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 2: What's happening to Brandon Knight's NBA career and the death

72
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 2: of Brandon Knight? You're exactly right, Test, I think Brandon

73
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 2: Knight's got to be at the top of the list

74
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 2: of guys we're going to remember for uh low lights

75
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 2: on the basketball court.

76
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: I'll try to one up Brandon Knight, and I had

77
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 1: him on my list, So I love that pick, don't

78
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 1: get me wrong. But what about Alton Lister his dunk,

79
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 1: his dunk, it's called the Lister blister Kemp's dunk on him,

80
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 1: yet it's called his dunk in a weird way, you

81
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 1: know what I mean. Like, and this guy was a

82
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: pretty decent player at one point in the eighties, and

83
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:34,919
Speaker 1: he was like a you know, basically a ten and

84
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:39,239
Speaker 1: ten type guy. You don't remember anything about Alton Blister

85
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: besides getting dunked on by Sean Kemp and literally right, yeah.

86
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 5: What year was that?

87
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: Well, that was in the eighties, right, he was. The

88
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: funny part is he used to play for the Sonics

89
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: can Alton Lister and then it was well it was

90
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: in the nineties, right, Yeah, it was I think early nineties.

91
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure, early nineties.

92
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 4: Okay, he said twenty years, so you're going back, but

93
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 4: he'll write a paper on that.

94
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:09,479
Speaker 2: How about a modern day Alton Lister could be timofay Mosgoff,

95
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 2: who became a verb for having Blake Griffin basically jump

96
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 2: over his head and thrunk the ball in. Once you

97
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 2: become a verb, once you become the nickname for somebody

98
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 2: else's dunk, it's bad.

99
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 5: Yeah.

100
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 4: I throw a Wesley Johnson in there as well, for

101
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 4: when James Harden dropped him to the floor, looked at

102
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 4: him and then hit the shot as well. Now it's

103
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 4: not so much about Wesley Johnson. I think that it

104
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 4: is about James Harden, So no one will remember Wesley

105
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 4: Johnson as much. He's kind of a player that will

106
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,599
Speaker 4: sort of float by, but that was his moment.

107
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, there's another another guy who's had a couple of

108
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 6: moments combined. There you got the Swaggy P with a

109
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 6: miss three. That's that's a pretty much an iconic moment

110
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 6: of Swaggy P. He had that three sixty layup. I

111
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 6: remember where he did the flip and it went over

112
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 6: the backboard and then and then just the sort of

113
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 6: celebrations is that one with power gasol? So people don't

114
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 6: necessarily remember Swaggy for his production on the quarter was

115
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 6: more than what he brought to the entertainment side of

116
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 6: the NBA. I think he's another one in there like

117
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 6: that is just the sort of goofy character that he

118
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 6: was as well.

119
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: Let's hear from you guys out there. I'm sure we're

120
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: missing something. That's a fun question from Alex next one?

121
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: What up? No Dustin checks in? Okay. I've been listening

122
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,479
Speaker 1: since Bill Simmons added TVJ to that grant Land feed

123
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 1: back in the day, and you have been my favorite

124
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: pod ever since. I'm holding out hope that we'll get

125
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 1: to finish the twenty nineteen twenty NBA season at some point.

126
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 1: If we don't, however, I'd like to know what each

127
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: of you would choose as your play of the year.

128
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: Beverly blocking Lebron Hard and step back on Beverly, Tatum

129
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 1: dropping Paul George Marcus Smart's crazy save, maybe a Yokich,

130
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 1: a Bogdanovic game winner. Those are a few that come

131
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:53,679
Speaker 1: to mind. Turn up that question from Adam so play

132
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 1: of the year. If this season is a rap I

133
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: think it is. If this was tough by U ended

134
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: up watching you know, a good twenty twenty five minutes

135
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 1: of NBA highlights in getting ready for this, So that

136
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: was fun. It was refreshing to just be watching basketball

137
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: from you know, not too long ago. I'm gonna go

138
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: Bugdanovic's game winning three versus the Rockets. That's to me

139
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: the craziest shot. I'm not Player of the Year, it's

140
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: gotta be on the short list, the one where he

141
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: got like fouled like two times because they have, you know,

142
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: so little time to get it off, don't do you

143
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: guys agree? Disagree? Is there's something else you have in

144
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: the mix.

145
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 6: As someone who's not a huge James Harden fan. I

146
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 6: did love that step back on Beverly because Beverly, we know,

147
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 6: loves to think of himself as pretty much a lockdown

148
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 6: defender and James Harden just shook him and knocked it in.

149
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 6: It was an incredible play.

150
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 3: Really.

151
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 6: I've also got two plays, Alex Caruso's two put back

152
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 6: dunks that just came out of nowhere.

153
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 2: The player of the year.

154
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 6: Ah, I go watch him again, man, watch him again,

155
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 6: like no expect he does one over like three of

156
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 6: his team mates, and then he does one. I have

157
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 6: a dwat in Denver as well. It's it's incredible.

158
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 2: Just because so he dunked on his own teammates twice

159
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 2: and you're telling me it's the plays of the year.

160
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 6: I'm telling you, man, just watch it back again. It's like,

161
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 6: it's pretty special. You get up out of your chair

162
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 6: watching that.

163
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 2: I guarantee it sequence of the year. I think you

164
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 2: could maybe argue Zach Lavine's come back at the end

165
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 2: of the game against the Hornets, and it's so early

166
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 2: in the season. You'll see it early in a lot

167
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 2: of the highlight tapes for the years. But I'm ultimately

168
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 2: going with Patrick Beverly's little block slash striple lebron just

169
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 2: because to me, that might be the closest we get

170
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 2: to a playoff moment this season. It comes down to

171
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 2: the last possession. It's two great teams who we assume

172
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 2: would be playing in the Western Conference Finals if we

173
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 2: ever got to see the playoffs. It was on national TV.

174
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 2: It was a Christmas game, so there's a huge audience.

175
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 2: Just the the enormity of that moment to me kind

176
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 2: of stands out, you know, being too LA teams and

177
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 2: actually seeing the Clippers beat the Lakers.

178
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 4: It's it's tough there, It's it's kind of ambiguous. These

179
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,040
Speaker 4: all these are sort of on the same level. So

180
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 4: when I looked at all of them, I went with

181
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 4: a Kobe related play because this year is about Kobe,

182
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:10,439
Speaker 4: And when Lebron dunked that two handed reverse kind of

183
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 4: rocked the baby to sleep a little bit two weeks

184
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 4: after Kobe's death in the Staple Center, almost nineteen years

185
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 4: to the day that Kobe did it on the exact

186
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:24,439
Speaker 4: same rim, and Lebron cherished that picture that Andy Bernstein

187
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 4: took her that dunk looking up at him from the baseline.

188
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 4: He blew it up immediately. Lebron was so excited after

189
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 4: the game, and he gave us this great quote as well. Ever,

190
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 4: see the movie The Six Man referencing Marlin's Wayne movie

191
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 4: from nineteen ninety seven, Kobe came down, put himself in

192
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 4: my body and gave me that dunk on that break.

193
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:45,559
Speaker 4: So to me, that's the one that I'm going to

194
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 4: remember because all these other ones. Yeah, Patrick Covley's a

195
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 4: really really good one, but that one's going to stand

196
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 4: up for me.

197
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 1: That's good. But what about maybe the theme of the

198
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 1: nineteen twenty season was missing purposely missing free throws and

199
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,839
Speaker 1: somehow shots out of your team's ass, because I think

200
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 1: you could include I think it was Tatum right, it

201
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: was a TNT game, or maybe it was a Saturday

202
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: night game. It was a big game on on national

203
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: television where he missed the three on purpose and Jalen

204
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 1: Brown hit a game tying three if you remember that game,

205
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 1: thinking maybe it was that against the Clippers.

206
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 6: No, it was the Rockets. I think the Rockets, thank you,

207
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 6: Yeah yeah yeah.

208
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 1: And then and then of course the darn Fox one

209
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: where he misses it and has hit a layup before

210
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 1: anyone even realized what the hell had happens. Maybe there's

211
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: a theme there too, although I think the correct answer

212
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,839
Speaker 1: it's Steven Adams half court shot versus the Pelicans when

213
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: he dropped the shimmy after lead.

214
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:38,959
Speaker 6: Yeah, I remember, yeah, yeah yeah, he just shove folded

215
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 6: the ball in from from half court.

216
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:42,599
Speaker 3: You never seen that before. And then it was a

217
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 3: beautiful shimmy too. It was from Steven Adams, it was.

218
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 1: It was again another good one for all you out there.

219
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: Hit us up on Twitter. Would we miss next?

220
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 5: Email here?

221
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 4: Good morning lads, long time, first time, all that good stuff,

222
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 4: Thanks for all the content. I've been a fan for

223
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 4: over a decade now and I'm genuinely proud to see

224
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 4: the growth of the collective. My homemade TB J shirt

225
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 4: still takes pride of place in my wardrobe. Now to

226
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 4: the question, Sean Marks recently stated that Kevin Durant would

227
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,559
Speaker 4: decide when he was one hundred percent ready to go

228
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 4: and wouldn't rule out a return this year due to

229
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,959
Speaker 4: the postponement of the season or playoffs. I think it's

230
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:20,679
Speaker 4: pretty unlikely, but what the hell, let's play hypothetical if

231
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:24,559
Speaker 4: Durant and Kyrie Irving came back to the Nets roster,

232
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 4: got their six game warm up in and the playoffs

233
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 4: then started with the Nets be an immediate contender with

234
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 4: Kyrie Lavert, Joe Harris, Durant and Jared Allen, along with

235
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 4: din Wittie, DeAndre Jordan and Prince Torrian Prince off the

236
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 4: bench would be able to take a series or two.

237
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 5: Would those dudes take a series or two?

238
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 4: I can only assume it would come down to how

239
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 4: quickly they could create some chemistry and if they'd be

240
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 4: willing to play for Jacque Van in the short term,

241
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 4: because that's a lot of talent. What do you guys think,

242
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 4: big big love. That's from Tristan in Goldburn, Australia.

243
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 1: No, this is every Raptors fans nightmare, right, Like this

244
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: sort of scenario if the season is picked up later

245
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:07,680
Speaker 1: in the summer or whatever, if it does come back

246
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 1: and we go into the playoffs and it's a two

247
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 1: seven matchup Raptors nets and as a Raps fan, you know,

248
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,959
Speaker 1: prior to the possibility of these stars coming back, you're

249
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: like feeling pretty good. That should be another you know,

250
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 1: advancement paths the first round. But man, if Katie and

251
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 1: Kyrie are there and they're healthy, hell yeah, they can

252
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 1: beat the Raptors. I mean they could. They could beat

253
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 1: so many teams I think in the Eastern Conference. If

254
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,959
Speaker 1: Katie is at I mean in this hypothetical near perfect health.

255
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 1: I think so. I think you add him to a

256
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,440
Speaker 1: team with obviously some talent around him, then you're in

257
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 1: the East. Yeah, you're you're a contender.

258
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I one hundred percent agree with you, and Tristan

259
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 2: mentions having some time to create chemistry that would be great.

260
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 2: But I also think one of the advantages that the

261
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 2: Nets would have in this situation, if Durant comes back

262
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 2: and he's even you know, eighty five ninety percent, is

263
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 2: that you wouldn't necessarily need the chemistry if you're just

264
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:01,839
Speaker 2: going one on one with Kyrie and then one on

265
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 2: one with Kevin durand the entire time. Right the playoffs

266
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 2: become one on one game already, and they would be

267
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 2: rolling out two of the best one on one players

268
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 2: in the league. That could be a pretty formidable team,

269
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 2: no doubt about it. But shout out to Kristin Tristan

270
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 2: sending us big big love. Also a big, big week

271
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 2: for Jacques Vaughn. He was a choice in Yeah It's

272
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 2: a choice in the Trivia podcast and now what a

273
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 2: reminder that he is actually the coach of the Nets

274
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 2: right now. Remember when Kenny Atkinson was fired in the

275
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 2: middle of the season and then suddenly it was shut

276
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 2: down a couple of weeks later.

277
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, it's a on paper, that's a very very

278
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 6: good lineup that the Nets have, but of course we

279
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 6: probably won't ever get to see it all because Joe

280
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 6: Harris is a free agent and whether or not they

281
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 6: will move on from one or two of those other

282
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,199
Speaker 6: players to make room really for Kevin and Kyrie to

283
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 6: control the pace there for the Nets. So I think yes,

284
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 6: if the playoffs were to start tomorrow and Kevin Durant

285
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 6: is healthy and we know that he's been working out

286
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 6: or prior to the season suspension, he was working out

287
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 6: looking good, so he's got a few extra months to

288
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 6: get himself ready. Mean absolutely, if he's you know, if

289
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,199
Speaker 6: he's anywhere near the sort of player he was before

290
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 6: the injury, then they're going to be a tough out

291
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 6: the Nets. But you know, again with these things, he

292
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,719
Speaker 6: and Kyrie have never played together, so it would take

293
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:13,439
Speaker 6: a little bit of an adjustment, you would think. And

294
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 6: if they were going up against a team like the

295
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 6: Raptors who have been together for a while now and

296
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 6: they've got that continuity, I would still pick the Raptors

297
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 6: to win that series. But I think that the Nets,

298
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 6: you know, could certainly make it into six or seven games.

299
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, I wouldn't pick the Raptors to win that series.

300
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 4: I think Kevin Durant the way he looked in Game

301
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 4: five of the finals, even in that first quarter after

302
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 4: coming back and then getting injured quickly thereafter, we were there.

303
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 4: I was lucky enough to be on the floor to

304
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 4: watch that dude warm up. He was already the best

305
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:49,359
Speaker 4: player on the floor in the first quarter. He was ridiculous.

306
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 4: And so would he do it? Does it feel like

307
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 4: he'd be coming back too soon if he came back

308
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 4: in the playoffs?

309
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 5: Probably not.

310
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 4: I think, you know, he's taking his time, way more

311
00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 4: time than he took to come back against the Raptors.

312
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 4: But you know, I thought, why would he do Why

313
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 4: wouldn't he just give himself a camp, like if we're

314
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 4: thinking logistically here. But then I heard Iron Eagle, the

315
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 4: great NETS broadcaster, on Mike Francesca's show, and he said,

316
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 4: you know, if he waits till the season next year,

317
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 4: even if it starts in December, perhaps he'd be waiting

318
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 4: twenty months to play basketball, and that's a really long time.

319
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 4: So I was sort of leaning towards KD coming back

320
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 4: and exacting some revenge on those Toronto Raptors that would beat.

321
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 5: His Golden State Warriors.

322
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 4: Man, that's I would pick those two dudes because they yeah,

323
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 4: they haven't played together, but isoball like you said, Trey,

324
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 4: that's that's that's enough man, when you've got two of

325
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 4: the best.

326
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 1: It would be a crazy hypothetical in a way to

327
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: test just how important building team chemistry is though, right,

328
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 1: like how much time you need, because not only would

329
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 1: you have the Nets having none of it with their

330
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 1: star players, and like Trey said, I think he made

331
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 1: some stud points there, like maybe that's oddly great for

332
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 1: them offensively at least, you know, sort of their one

333
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 1: on one style. Maybe it works. But the flip side

334
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 1: of that is the Raptors maybe better suited, or you

335
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 1: would think than a lot of these teams just having

336
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 1: these vets that have played so much together that they're

337
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: sort of like that rock, that foundation that they come

338
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 1: in with. If it were to start back up, like

339
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 1: that's you know, you think that would be a plus. Right,

340
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 1: It'd be a nice like clash of like which one

341
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 1: really matters? Does it really truly matter to have that

342
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 1: you know so many years together, go into war together

343
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 1: obviously trying to figure out how to win playoff series

344
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 1: in big games, or can you just have this incredible

345
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 1: talented player in KDI and also Irving and just let

346
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 1: them go wild? So it would be crazy to watch it, actually,

347
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 1: I mean again, as a RAPS fan, personally, I would

348
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 1: be scared. I don't think the Nets would run over

349
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 1: the Reps. I'd like to point that out. I think

350
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 1: they could easily beat them, but I think it would

351
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 1: be a hell a hell of a series. Suddenly, it

352
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 1: wouldn't be a four to zero or four to one

353
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 1: win for the REPS. I mean, now you're looking at

354
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: probably a six to seven game series where any team

355
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 1: could win. And god, it's tough to bet against KD

356
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 1: healthy KD in that situation. But gotta be fun, Yeah,

357
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: a lot of fun.

358
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 2: Not only are we breaking down a hypothetical playoff series

359
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 2: right now, we're even breaking down if players who haven't

360
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 2: played this entire season come back to face off in

361
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 2: this hypothetical playoff series. This is double hypothetical. It's getting

362
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 2: crazy out here, and.

363
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 1: Lee, I got a fact check you. I hate to

364
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 1: be a Schuman on you, but you know, come on,

365
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 1: Kyrie and KD. They played in two All Star Games together.

366
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 3: Well they played probably played for Yeah, okay, yeah, yeah.

367
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,640
Speaker 1: So they're you know, they're they're set, They're set, all right.

368
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:39,640
Speaker 1: Next one here, Hey, no dunker Reno's This one's from

369
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 1: Ned Flanders apparently. Now I hope you're all well. I'm

370
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:45,640
Speaker 1: at the stage of quarantine slash basketball jones ing, where

371
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 1: I've started talking myself into next season hypotheticals to get

372
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 1: excited for. For example, I considered what a Wizard's team

373
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 1: with a healthy and improved John Wall would look like.

374
00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 1: Word is, he's added a reliable three point stroke to Arsenal.

375
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 1: With Wall, Beale, Ruey and Berton's forming the core, I

376
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: feel like the Wizards would be a lot better than

377
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: people might think.

378
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, where did you get that word about John Wall's

379
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 6: three point stroke?

380
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 3: I haven't seen that much.

381
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 1: Yeah I did. I guess I didn't know that either.

382
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 2: On the street.

383
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:23,479
Speaker 1: What are some hypotheticals you've been mulling over hoping to

384
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 1: see next season? Love the show, turn up, love you

385
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 1: guys awesome. That's from Dan in Scotland.

386
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 5: I'm with you, Danny. I love the John Wall talk.

387
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 5: I love it.

388
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 4: I love he doesn't need to add a three point

389
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 4: shot to be great. I'm not buying that he has

390
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 4: added that. We've seen him in layup lines. All he

391
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 4: does is throw it up and go grab it and

392
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 4: throw down a reverse dunk, and he looks good doing it.

393
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 4: He didn't have a three point stroke really before he

394
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 4: ruptured his Achilles still was one of the better point

395
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 4: guards in the league. I think it comes down to.

396
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 5: Is he grown?

397
00:18:56,200 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 4: Is he is he a mature basketball player now? I

398
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 4: think that's what all comes out to. I heard him

399
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 4: in an interview on NBA TV recently and he was

400
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 4: talking about, yeah, coming into the league, you know where

401
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 4: I came from getting all this money. I think it's

402
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:17,879
Speaker 4: understandable that I wasn't the most mature player doing the

403
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 4: absolute right things. It's, you know, sort of reminiscent of

404
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 4: what Scottie Pippen is saying in the Last Dance. To

405
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:26,880
Speaker 4: some degree, he's he was out there having some fun,

406
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 4: but now he'll be thirty next season. He sees Bradley

407
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 4: Beal develop into this great player. I think there could

408
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 4: be a maturity connection there, and I don't think the

409
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,400
Speaker 4: Achilles is really going to slow him down.

410
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:40,199
Speaker 5: I don't know.

411
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:41,919
Speaker 4: It just feels like guys come back from injuries and

412
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 4: they're entirely fine. And John Wall probably had a gear

413
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 4: that he could slow down to anyways and still be

414
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 4: an amazing player, you know, aside from those two guys,

415
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:55,680
Speaker 4: you know, with Ruey and Thamas Berton's I don't I'm

416
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 4: not really concerned about that, even though they have probably

417
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 4: some wiggle room starting next year because the Mahemi contract

418
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 4: comes off. Those two guys are the ones getting paid.

419
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 4: They're getting paid seventy million smacks next year, so they're

420
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 4: going to have to lead the team. But I don't

421
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 4: know those two guards. It's always been intriguing. They've always

422
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,640
Speaker 4: been They've always been decent. And if John wal can

423
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 4: bring it up to another level to match Bradley Beal,

424
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:23,479
Speaker 4: if these two guys can be lifers in Washington as

425
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 4: they as Bradley Beal has said he wants to be,

426
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 4: I'm intrigued too. I do want to see that happen.

427
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 1: John Wall has another level to go to. Does anyone

428
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,919
Speaker 1: really believe that he's not? I guess he's still in

429
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: his prime. I always think he's older than he is.

430
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:40,439
Speaker 1: But I'm skeptical he's going to be better than you know,

431
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:42,200
Speaker 1: the twenty three and ten type of John Wall we

432
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 1: saw a couple of years ago.

433
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 4: No, I don't think he's gonna have I don't think

434
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 4: he's going to be another level.

435
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 6: No, it feels like he hasn't played for years. I mean,

436
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:52,160
Speaker 6: I know it's been all of last season, and and

437
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:54,360
Speaker 6: we're prior to that, he missed a lot of games

438
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:56,919
Speaker 6: as well through injuries, and you know, to lose your

439
00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 6: achilles heel, the achilles tendon like he did, I mean,

440
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:02,439
Speaker 6: a lot of guys struggle to come back, you know,

441
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:04,879
Speaker 6: because one of the things that made John Wore special

442
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:06,639
Speaker 6: was his speed and his ability to you know, just

443
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 6: to break down defenders and get into the paint. And

444
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:10,359
Speaker 6: now that's going to be the question if he can't

445
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 6: do that, and for someone who doesn't have a great

446
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 6: shot anyway, he's really going to have to find another

447
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 6: way to be effective, and that's going to be the challenge.

448
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:19,679
Speaker 6: I mean, he is still you know, he's still got

449
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 6: a lot of career left to play. But you know,

450
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 6: there are there have been other players, I mean Isaiah Thomas,

451
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:27,200
Speaker 6: it ended his career. He was a little bit older,

452
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 6: than John Well, not much, but it ended his career

453
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 6: when he blew his achilles tendon, so that, you know,

454
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 6: that's interesting with John Wall. I mean, I think if

455
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 6: he's able to be effective, then the Wizards can still

456
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,479
Speaker 6: be a playoff contender. But if he you know, if

457
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 6: his shot isn't reliable, then it's going to be tough

458
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:46,679
Speaker 6: to see how he can be the dominant player that

459
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:47,920
Speaker 6: he once was there in Washington.

460
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:50,679
Speaker 2: We're going to be getting Basically, it feels like the

461
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 2: longest preseason of all time. And during the preseason you

462
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 2: can talk yourself into any team. I've never really taken

463
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 2: a John Wall and Bradley Beal team together, but when

464
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 2: you see Wall, bial Ruey and Burtha lined up, You're like,

465
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 2: I'm in you guys are gonna score one hundred and

466
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 2: fifty points a night. We'll see how it actually plays out.

467
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 2: And if you need to have more than four players

468
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,679
Speaker 2: on a team, I don't know. Another great hypothetical is

469
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 2: what are the Warriors gonna be like next season? Clay

470
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 2: will be back, Steph will be back, Draymond will be

471
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 2: coming off the most rest in five seasons. They got

472
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,399
Speaker 2: a top four pick, which they could either draft and

473
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 2: develop for the future, or move it to try and

474
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 2: bring in some veteran help. Andrew Wiggins is around, maybe

475
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:28,920
Speaker 2: being in a winning environment will help him. Eric Pascal

476
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:31,439
Speaker 2: was a decent find this season. You know, they're the

477
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 2: worst team in the league, but I don't think anybody

478
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:35,919
Speaker 2: expects them to be the worst team once everybody is

479
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 2: back on the court.

480
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 1: It's funny you brought up the Warriors, because that's all

481
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 1: I think about when we talk about the current day

482
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 1: Wizards is in the nineties, we kept talking ourselves into

483
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 1: how great the Warriors would be the next season. I

484
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 1: would stink, and then we'd say, oh, they're going to

485
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:51,679
Speaker 1: be amazing the next season, and then they'd be the

486
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 1: exact same. I mean, I remember doing that time and

487
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 1: time again with the Warriors, and that's the vibe I

488
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 1: get of the Wizards. I like, you know, I like

489
00:22:57,840 --> 00:22:59,639
Speaker 1: a lot of their players. I get excited too, and

490
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 1: then they're just still the Wizards and it's a little

491
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,639
Speaker 1: disappointing in the end. That's where I'm at with them.

492
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:09,399
Speaker 1: The hypothetical then I'm excited to mull over thinking about

493
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 1: it's the actually the young Grizzlies, because you know, we've

494
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,679
Speaker 1: talked about this before in the podcast. How comparable in

495
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 1: my opinion at least John Morant is to Penny Hardaway

496
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 1: early in his career. And when you look at Penny

497
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:24,919
Speaker 1: as a rookie, you know, putting up sixteen seven and

498
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:26,879
Speaker 1: six on a very good magic team, a team that

499
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 1: won fifty games, and then you compare that to what

500
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 1: John Morant was doing. You know, likely gonna win Rookie

501
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 1: of the Year if we ever handout of that award,

502
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 1: maybe getting his Grizzlies into the playoffs a five hundred team,

503
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,680
Speaker 1: not a fifty win team, but a pretty surprising five

504
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 1: hundred team. Well, the next year, Penny went next level.

505
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 1: Like in his sophomore NBA season, he went to twenty

506
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:47,120
Speaker 1: points per game, the efficiency skyrocket, he started the All

507
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 1: Star Game, Orlando won fifty seven games, best offense in

508
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:52,119
Speaker 1: the league. All that made it all the way to

509
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 1: the finals. Now, John Morant doesn't have Shaquille O'Neil I

510
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 1: get that, but has hopefully a healthy Jaron Jack junior

511
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,880
Speaker 1: in the Canadian connection in Clark and Brooks. So I'm

512
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: just sort of like thinking of, like, do the Grizzlies

513
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 1: make that sort of immediate jump to being Wow, they're

514
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,399
Speaker 1: a damn good team. Not the finals bound or anything,

515
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,920
Speaker 1: but like, wow, they're like one of the better teams

516
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:17,679
Speaker 1: in the league suddenly being very young, because can they

517
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 1: replicate what you know Penny did? Can John Morant replicate

518
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 1: what Penny did? So that's team I've been thinking about.

519
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 2: Would you have said something similar about the Sacramento Kings

520
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 2: heading into the nineteen twenty season. Probably That's the question, right,

521
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 2: is how good do these teams get when they actually

522
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:35,199
Speaker 2: have a little bit of a focus on them. Right,

523
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 2: It's easy to be the surprise team. It's a little

524
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 2: bit harder when you're actually getting circled on schedule.

525
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 1: Oh you think, oh yeah, exactly exactly. I mean, I

526
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,920
Speaker 1: think you could. I could convince myself, especially because I

527
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 1: believe in John Moran that much that he's like, yeah,

528
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:48,880
Speaker 1: they're a fifty five win team. And then you're right, Trey,

529
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 1: It's like, no, welcome to the hard reality of the NBA.

530
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 1: Everybody's ready for you. Now, everybody's scouting you.

531
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 2: Now.

532
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:55,399
Speaker 1: Now they're not how to play you. They're gonna take

533
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 1: away this, take away that, And suddenly they're a worse

534
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 1: team right record wise, and here there and all that, So, No,

535
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:04,879
Speaker 1: I hear you. It's like a huge swing between like

536
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 1: a twenty game win swing that you could see in

537
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 1: a potential Grizzlies team next year.

538
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely. Progress isn't always linear, unfortunately, and it can

539
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 2: feel like such a kick in the nuts when your

540
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:16,680
Speaker 2: team seems like they're on the upswing and then suddenly

541
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 2: you're back out of the playoff mix.

542
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:22,160
Speaker 4: That's swing cash to the next email. What's up, No Dunks?

543
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 4: What is the worst comparison of all time? On NBA

544
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 4: Draft Night two? That come to mind? Adam Morrison was

545
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 4: supposed to be the next Larry Bird and Ojmail was

546
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 4: compared to Kobe Bryant. Can't wait to hear your answers.

547
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 4: That's from Adam and Lincoln Illinois.

548
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 5: PS.

549
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 4: Just got my Chicago edition No Dunks Tea. Love it already, Yeah,

550
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,920
Speaker 4: if you want to purchase that No Dunks dot Com again.

551
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:49,920
Speaker 4: All proceeds going to the American Nurses Foundation.

552
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 2: Big shout out to Lincoln, Illinois as well, where my

553
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 2: dad went to college, Lincoln Christian College. He tells me

554
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 2: they were ranked top three in the nation among other

555
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,919
Speaker 2: Christian college I'm like, okay, Dad, I can't imagine the

556
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 2: competition was that crazy. But if we're talking about draft comparisons,

557
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 2: the all time worst is NBA draft dot Net. They

558
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:13,120
Speaker 2: compared Deshaun Stevenson coming out of high school in two

559
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 2: thousand to Michael Jordan. It has been around so long

560
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 2: that they had to put up a note on it

561
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 2: on their website because they didn't take it down. Kudos

562
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 2: to them. But on June twenty fifth, twenty fifteen, they

563
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:29,159
Speaker 2: put an edit scouting a report in comparison to the

564
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 2: Goat where written while Stevenson was in high school and

565
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 2: assumed to be headed to Kansas. Lesson learned, never compare

566
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 2: anyone to Michael Jordan. This was two thousand. This s

567
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:38,399
Speaker 2: I was just getting started. Go watch a tape of

568
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,879
Speaker 2: Deshaun Stevenson in high school. He was incredible, one of

569
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,679
Speaker 2: the most spectacular seventeen year old wings you could ever see.

570
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 2: Not going to college had a catastrophic effect on him.

571
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,919
Speaker 2: It seems enjoyable. Everyone discrediting our expertise by bringing up

572
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 2: the year two thousand Deshaun Stevenson compared to mj We

573
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 2: never went back and changed his comparison after it was

574
00:26:56,480 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 2: originally made. Here's my favorite part. Apologies to mj Hey.

575
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:02,680
Speaker 2: The Sports Leader compared Marshon Brooks to Kobe Bryant just

576
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 2: a few years ago. The other large NBA draft site

577
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 2: compared Greg Polus to John Stockton. Nobody wants to bring

578
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 2: that up. You gotta be pretty off on your draft

579
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 2: comparison to write a Mia Kolpa. Fifteen years later, that

580
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:20,879
Speaker 2: being said, Deshaun Stevenson was the number twenty three pick,

581
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:24,239
Speaker 2: So maybe they were right there.

582
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 6: You go to be.

583
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 3: I mean, that's the thing, you know.

584
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 6: It's it's like when people go in the voice and

585
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 6: they try to sing a Michael Jackson song, It's like,

586
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 6: don't go to one of the greatest singers of all time.

587
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:36,680
Speaker 1: Just go middle of the range.

588
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:36,879
Speaker 2: You know.

589
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:38,879
Speaker 6: It's the same thing when they were writing this comparison

590
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 6: on Michael Jordan. It's like, how could you possibly expect

591
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,160
Speaker 6: anyone to live up to that sort of a comparison?

592
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 1: Lee, who would be my little Lee? Who would be

593
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 1: a middle of the range singer in your opinion?

594
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:54,679
Speaker 6: Hmmm, good question, good question, I would say, let me

595
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 6: think about that.

596
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:56,400
Speaker 3: Let me that's a tough one.

597
00:27:56,440 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 2: That's the time you guys Williams on the high end, though, right, yeah, yeah, yeah,

598
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 2: well well yeah, I mean he's he's the all around

599
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:03,880
Speaker 2: entertainment package.

600
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 3: What about Usher.

601
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:08,479
Speaker 6: Usher is a good singer entertainer, but I wouldn't put

602
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 6: Usher in the super elite bracket by any means about Actually, okay, yeah,

603
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 6: I think my all time favorite comparison though, is that

604
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 6: also the Adam Morrison to Larry Bird. I mean, because

605
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 6: you know, we saw Adam Morrison in college and it

606
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:26,640
Speaker 6: was like he was a good player. But I mean,

607
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 6: did anyone just go, yep, that's Larry two point zero

608
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:30,200
Speaker 6: right there?

609
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 4: No, of course, not people who hadn't seen Larry Bird,

610
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 4: I guess even.

611
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 6: Still even still, come on, no one's going like, oh man,

612
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 6: I missed the Larry Bird here, but here it is

613
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 6: in Adam Morrison.

614
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 7: No way.

615
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 2: Yeah. Maybe they didn't see Larry Bird play, but they

616
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 2: saw a picture of him and said, hey, Adam Morrison,

617
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 2: you look similar.

618
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 1: Yeah that's all it is. That's all it is, like, hey,

619
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 1: that's a pretty tall white guy with a weird luck

620
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 1: to him. He's got a stash and crazy hair. Larry

621
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 1: Bird two point zero. Yeah, that's really all that happened.

622
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 1: Although he was good in college too, I mean, not

623
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 1: discredit him. He was a baller in college and didn't

624
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 1: have quite the NBA career though we got a championship.

625
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 6: Right, So ironically it was Jordan who drafted Adam Harrison too,

626
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 6: wasn't it?

627
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 1: So he thought he was Larry Bird all right? Anything else?

628
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 1: Any other comparisons task.

629
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 4: A well, Bruno Koboco is this standard? Two years away

630
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 4: from two years away with Frank for Schilla line he

631
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 4: was the Brazilian Kevin Durant still hasn't panned out quite yet,

632
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 4: but you never know.

633
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 5: There's still time yet.

634
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 4: And Duan Blair was Charles Barkley.

635
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 5: Once upon a time, A yeah, yeah little.

636
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 4: Guy, a little, little, little round guy, but didn't work

637
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:42,479
Speaker 4: out all right?

638
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 1: Next one, h know, dunk a use Tass said we

639
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 1: have to have a hashtag who says no in each

640
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 1: beach step in podcast, So I'm trying to come up

641
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 1: with one. Any thoughts on a Devin Booker for Ben

642
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 1: Simmons straight up trade Simmons is a better playmaking star

643
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 1: who could help other teams. It's Booker, great spacer and

644
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 1: closing option paired with embiid hashtag who says no. This

645
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 1: is from Justin from Hong kom.

646
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, you know I love her? Who says no,

647
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 6: I love getting into the trade machine.

648
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I look.

649
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 6: I mean on the surface, it basically it would allow Booker,

650
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:22,719
Speaker 6: you know, as more of a floor spacer and more

651
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 6: of a shooter, and he can still play the point

652
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 6: guard role. But you obviously sacrifice Ben Simmons as playmaking

653
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 6: and defense there of the Sixers, but this and for

654
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 6: the Suns, I mean, yeah, like sure, why not? Why

655
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 6: you know, take Ben Simmons if you can get a

656
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 6: chance for him. But I don't know, I don't know.

657
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 6: Devin book is an interesting player at an interesting stage

658
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:44,960
Speaker 6: of his career because we've been waiting for him to

659
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 6: sort of take that leap and to be able to

660
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 6: carry his team and he hasn't really been able to

661
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 6: do that yet. He's been able to score, we know that,

662
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 6: but is he really able to take a team like

663
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 6: a James Harden type way that the Harden's done for

664
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 6: the Rockets right now? I would say probably not. And

665
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 6: again maybe it's the situation there in Phoenix for Devin Booker.

666
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:05,719
Speaker 6: He hasn't had a huge, great supporting cast around him.

667
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 6: I don't think he's won more than thirty games in

668
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:11,240
Speaker 6: his brief career yet, so you know, but he's got

669
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 6: a definitely got a silky smooth shot and and you know,

670
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 6: in the right situation he may thrive better than he

671
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 6: has done so far in Phoenix. I mean, again, the

672
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 6: numbers are fine, but there certainly hasn't been the success

673
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 6: behind it, whereas Ben Simmons has shown already that he

674
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 6: has been an integral part of Philadelphia's you know, playoff

675
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 6: success so far in his career.

676
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 5: So both say, you know, both say yes, yeah, you know, I.

677
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 6: Mean, like it's the thing is obviously it's not going

678
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 6: to happen. You know, it's not really aren't ringing up

679
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 6: Phoenix and Phoenix aren't calling up feelings, Liz make this deal.

680
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 6: So I'm just I'm just trying to like give it some.

681
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:50,240
Speaker 4: Well the deal doesn't happen, it actually happens.

682
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, it doesn't.

683
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 6: There's a lot of hypotheticals out there today.

684
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 2: Says no.

685
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, do you think do you think ESPN, I don't know,

686
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:02,720
Speaker 1: maybe it gets redirected right to Kevin Pelton or something

687
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 1: like that. Do you think they have the ability to

688
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 1: see which player has been punched into the trade machine

689
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 1: the most? Because sure, they gotta yeah, they must, right,

690
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 1: they got they got those numbers. You gotta think Ben

691
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 1: Simmons is super high on that list, right, because every

692
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 1: time we do one of these, you know, and you

693
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 1: see them on Twitter left and right, the idea of

694
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 1: like splitting up Ben Simmons from Dwell Embiid. So I

695
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 1: feel like Ben simmons name is in a lot of

696
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 1: these hypothetical trade machines.

697
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 5: I would have to agree.

698
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 2: I mean, he's an obviously successful young player, already on

699
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 2: a big contract, and he's got clear flaws that you

700
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 2: can see. So he's kind of the perfect guy to

701
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:39,239
Speaker 2: throw into the trade machine time and time again, and

702
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 2: we'll be able to do it for the next five

703
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 2: years because the guy's under contract for a long time.

704
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 2: I think Simmons is definitely the better player. I think

705
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:50,479
Speaker 2: that Booker is going to leave the Suns at some point,

706
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 2: but I still think the Sons are the team that

707
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 2: says no, because they would just look at it and say, okay,

708
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 2: So if we trade for Ben Simmons, we become the

709
00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 2: Simmons an Embiid team, except for r. Embiid doesn't have

710
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 2: the range of the defense, so I think they'd probably

711
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 2: rather play it out with a better fit in Ayton

712
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 2: and Booker.

713
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 4: Yeah that's a weird one because Booker is still ascending

714
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 4: and still becoming the player he is. But I appreciate

715
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 4: justin from Hong Kong's ability here, his ingenuity. He took

716
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 4: two young guys and put them into this. Who says

717
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 4: no proposal? So you can't worry about age, you can't

718
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 4: worry about contracts.

719
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 5: Who cares.

720
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 4: I still think that the Sixers would say no, just

721
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 4: because of how great a defender Ben Simmons is and

722
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 4: how specially he is on that end. And yeah, it

723
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 4: is a strange fit. It would be a strange fit

724
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 4: with any big man, especially that doesn't have range. But

725
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 4: he's the better player. So I think the Sixers would

726
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 4: have to play it out. And you just don't know

727
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 4: what's going to happen with Joel Embid. You still don't know.

728
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 4: Although apparently, according to reports, Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons

729
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 4: have been working out at the Sixers training facility since

730
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 4: the beginning of COVID nineteen. Since since Adam Silver told

731
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 4: him to shut that facility down, they've been Elton Brand

732
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 4: came out and said it so strange stuff.

733
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 5: So I guess they'll be ready.

734
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 6: If you believe TMZ. Kendall Jenner has traded Ben Simmons

735
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 6: for Devin Booker, so you know, maybe that's something we

736
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 6: need to investigate.

737
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:20,799
Speaker 2: Lee, Man, we need to get basketball back here on

738
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 2: the gossip site.

739
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 3: I saw it. I just saw her going around the

740
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:27,239
Speaker 3: other day.

741
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 6: So it's like, okay, all right, they're both good looking guys,

742
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 6: that's for sure.

743
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 4: Next one here, I have a question. It's why are

744
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 4: you all acting like a bunch of no dunks punks?

745
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 4: I send you a beautifully crafted email that receives no recognition,

746
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:53,880
Speaker 4: only to hear multiple inferior references to Celtics, browns and

747
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 4: greens related content. Perhaps it's because I didn't really ask

748
00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:01,400
Speaker 4: a question. Okay, let's try again. What's your all compost

749
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:06,600
Speaker 4: NBA starting five? That's from Greg and British Columbia, Canada.

750
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 4: I appreciate the persistence. Greg, you didn't ask a question,

751
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 4: but here you are the main components of a compost.

752
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:19,280
Speaker 4: As you mentioned browns and greens. That's what you're talking about.

753
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:22,319
Speaker 4: But it doesn't just take those two facets to make

754
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:26,240
Speaker 4: a good compost. That's why a starting unit works great

755
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:29,400
Speaker 4: thank you so much for this idea. Greg, I'll give

756
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 4: you my all compost NBA starting five. Here we go,

757
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:41,239
Speaker 4: starting a center. It's Draymond Green. Yeah, greens are probably

758
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 4: what a composter will have the most of. They're mainly

759
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 4: food scraps. Draymond Green likes to eat healthy. He used

760
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:50,279
Speaker 4: to be bigger, but he started to slim down when

761
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 4: he got to the NBA. And what we're looking for

762
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 4: here are healthy food scraps, vegetable peels, fruit scraps, eggshells.

763
00:35:56,320 --> 00:36:00,200
Speaker 4: We don't want meats, fish, fats, or grease. Those things

764
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:04,240
Speaker 4: bring pests and odors. Dre is a good defender. He'll

765
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:05,439
Speaker 4: keep those out of there.

766
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 2: Hah.

767
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:14,279
Speaker 4: At Power Forward, it's Jerome Moist. Oh, you gotta keep

768
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:18,960
Speaker 4: that pile moist. Jerome Moiso played in the early two thousands,

769
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 4: changed his name slightly for this exercise. A dry pile,

770
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:24,239
Speaker 4: it doesn't decompose.

771
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 5: You need water.

772
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:28,880
Speaker 4: You can keep your indoor scrapple a little moist to

773
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 4: ensure your pile then gets wet so you don't have

774
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:33,880
Speaker 4: to add it to the pile afterwards. Just a little

775
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 4: tip for you composters out there. At Small Forward, Chucky

776
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 4: Brown Brown played for twelve teams, twelve tying the NBA

777
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 4: record and like Chucky playing everywhere, you gotta look for

778
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:51,560
Speaker 4: your browns everywhere. It's not easy finding enough browns to

779
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 4: meet your greens quota. I don't find it simple. This

780
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:58,880
Speaker 4: is a difficult issue for composters out there. Some compost

781
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 4: manuals instruct a two to one browns to greens ratio.

782
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:05,799
Speaker 4: Some say three to one, some say thirty to one.

783
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:07,320
Speaker 5: Lucky for you.

784
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 4: See, you got a lot of steep sticks and leaves

785
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:13,880
Speaker 4: out there. Yeah, the more browns you have, the faster

786
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:15,719
Speaker 4: your pile is going to decompose. I think that's what

787
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:18,640
Speaker 4: it comes down to. But one to one is fine,

788
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 4: it's totally frank. But even that I find is hard,

789
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 4: especially our modern day city living. You gotta be resourceful

790
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 4: because they're not easy to find. Dried leaves, paper bags,

791
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:33,879
Speaker 4: and newspaper. Sawdust, you see, it's not easy getting into sawdust.

792
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:35,720
Speaker 4: Who has sawdust just lying around?

793
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:38,479
Speaker 1: I like that you went with Chucky Brown too, because

794
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 1: it's like, hey, don't chuck that in the garbage, throw

795
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:42,920
Speaker 1: it in the compost. Chuck it in the compost.

796
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:47,320
Speaker 4: You got you're read my next line. You can't just chucky.

797
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:49,480
Speaker 4: You can't just chucky anything in there and call it

798
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:56,160
Speaker 4: a brown skin. At Shooting Guard, it's air. Michael Jordan.

799
00:37:56,920 --> 00:38:00,719
Speaker 4: An important ingredient to a compost is air. It's very

800
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:04,960
Speaker 4: important in your receptacle. You gotta have little air pockets,

801
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 4: little air holes. Some people have those huge cones if

802
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 4: you've ever seen those, where you dig a hole and

803
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:15,040
Speaker 4: you put your compost in it and there's just not

804
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:17,320
Speaker 4: enough air coming into the compost.

805
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 5: It's like a fire.

806
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:20,359
Speaker 4: You can't just throw sticks on top of each other

807
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:23,400
Speaker 4: and hope the thing lights. You need some air pockets

808
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:25,960
Speaker 4: in there. So we have the four ingredients. Greens, which

809
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:32,799
Speaker 4: are nitrogen, water, browns, which is carbon, and air. Greens, water, browns, air.

810
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 4: At Point Guard, what are we doing? World be free

811
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:39,279
Speaker 4: be free to put anything in the world in that compost.

812
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 4: It'll decompose. Don't you worry about it. It's science, it'll

813
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:50,359
Speaker 4: figure itself out. And also world be freeze nickname, one

814
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:55,839
Speaker 4: of his many nicknames is Brownsville Bomber. So threw that

815
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:58,080
Speaker 4: in there because he's got a little brown tie.

816
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 1: And yeah, do you think we'll be hearing Michael Jordan

817
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:03,840
Speaker 1: on the Last Dance, Episode seven, to eight talk about

818
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:06,720
Speaker 1: composting would be awesome.

819
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:09,600
Speaker 6: He had a key ingredient in the composting. Well does

820
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:16,800
Speaker 6: that teammate Dennis Rudman, Yeah.

821
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:18,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, he played also played against a lot of

822
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:22,440
Speaker 4: games against a C. Green who also almost almost entered

823
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:25,760
Speaker 4: the starting five. He follows strict rules in his life,

824
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:27,680
Speaker 4: so compost game very similar.

825
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:30,480
Speaker 5: You gotta follow strict rules. Yeah.

826
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:35,359
Speaker 4: And those cigar leaves from from Michael's cigars. I think

827
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 4: we compost really really nicely.

828
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:42,479
Speaker 1: All right, we had to think outside the compost box there.

829
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:45,160
Speaker 1: Tasked with your all compost NBA started five because I

830
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:46,920
Speaker 1: thought you were just yeah, I thought you would just

831
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:48,719
Speaker 1: go Greens and rounds. Keep it. I mean there's a

832
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:51,319
Speaker 1: million Greens and Browns that have played in the NBA. No,

833
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:52,560
Speaker 1: he goes next level.

834
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:55,279
Speaker 4: I've seen those cones before. You know, those cones they

835
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:57,239
Speaker 4: don't work. They have those air pockets at the at

836
00:39:57,280 --> 00:39:59,839
Speaker 4: the top. You need an air Michael Jordan, you need

837
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:02,840
Speaker 4: Drome moisto to go along with your Draymond Greens and

838

903
00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:03,680
Speaker 1: Guten tog No dunk Stars, a German sports website, honored

904
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:07,320
Speaker 1: Brian Cardinal with an article on his forty third birthday

905
00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:11,480
Speaker 1: this week. According to this article, Brian Cardinal would have

906
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 1: deserved Final MVP honors in twenty eleven when Cardinal hit

907
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:18,840
Speaker 1: the floor of the Mavericks won if he sat on

908
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:21,600
Speaker 1: the bench the full game Mavericks lost. He had a

909
00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:24,160
Speaker 1: shooting percentage of sixty six point seven percent during the

910
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:27,400
Speaker 1: final series. He grabbed at least one rebound when he played.

911
00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:30,759
Speaker 1: But the most important contribution for winning the championship has

912
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:33,320
Speaker 1: to be his foul on d Wade in Game five.

913
00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:36,640
Speaker 1: Wade bruised his hip and could not perform to his

914
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:39,879
Speaker 1: full potential in the remainder of the series MAVs win.

915
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 1: Which other guy from the end of the bench should

916
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:45,480
Speaker 1: have won Finals MVP in recent years? Swish you all

917
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:49,200
Speaker 1: the best. That's from Stefan from Cologne, Germany. Maybe one

918
00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:52,000
Speaker 1: of my favorite emails pitching the case that Brian Cardinal

919
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:55,839
Speaker 1: actually deserved Finals MVP in twenty eleven. What a case.

920
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:58,680
Speaker 2: He just made one rebound per game. That's a compelling

921
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:02,280
Speaker 2: case the victory. These are the only number you really need.

922
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:04,320
Speaker 2: And in a similar vein, I think you got to

923
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:07,640
Speaker 2: give David Lee the twenty fifteen Finals MVP for the Warriors.

924
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:09,840
Speaker 2: Didn't play the first two games of the series. It

925
00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:13,200
Speaker 2: was one one and Lebron was honestly controlling that series.

926
00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:16,319
Speaker 2: Remember everybody was comparing it to a running football team

927
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:17,880
Speaker 2: the way he would just bring it up, hold the

928
00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:20,000
Speaker 2: ball basically as long as he could before making some

929
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:22,279
Speaker 2: sort of play. But in the fourth quarter of Game three,

930
00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:25,240
Speaker 2: David Lee finally got his first real run of the series.

931
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:28,040
Speaker 2: He was a plus sixteen, went four for four, had

932
00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:30,399
Speaker 2: a couple of assists. The Warriors still lost the game,

933
00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:32,319
Speaker 2: but that was the blueprint for how they were going

934
00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:34,600
Speaker 2: to beat the Cavs that year. The next game, Andrea

935
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:37,319
Speaker 2: Guadala goes to the starting lineup for Andrew Boge and

936
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:39,759
Speaker 2: the Warriors win the next three games by fourteen points

937
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:42,759
Speaker 2: a piece. That was kind of the official beginning of

938
00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:45,799
Speaker 2: what would become the death lineup. The next year, and

939
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:48,040
Speaker 2: it wouldn't have happened if David Lee just didn't get

940
00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:49,960
Speaker 2: a little taste there in game three.

941
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:52,720
Speaker 1: There you go. David Lee is the new Brian Cardinal,

942
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:53,600
Speaker 1: the Castodian right.

943
00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:57,359
Speaker 4: It's a real tough one to pull somebody deep from

944
00:45:57,400 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 4: the bench. David Lee's a good one. I just went

945
00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:02,400
Speaker 4: with Fred van Vliet from last year, who was a bencher,

946
00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:05,120
Speaker 4: but not a deep bencher. He had that twelve point

947
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:09,640
Speaker 4: fourth quarter, twelve points to seal the deal in game six.

948
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:13,279
Speaker 4: He scored fifteen to seventeen eleven, eight eleven, and then

949
00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:15,800
Speaker 4: twenty two in Game six, And that's why Huby Brown

950
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:20,480
Speaker 4: gave Fred van Vliez an actual MVP vote. You crazy man,

951
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:23,400
Speaker 4: Huby Brown. He did play great, but come on, Hube,

952
00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:26,080
Speaker 4: come on, hub that's nuts.

953
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:31,920
Speaker 6: What about Sasha Vujacic in twoenty ten Finals Game seven.

954
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:35,040
Speaker 6: He only played the final twelve seconds of that game.

955
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:37,560
Speaker 6: Lakers were up two points and he stepped the free

956
00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:39,080
Speaker 6: throw line and had to hit two free throws to

957
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:40,200
Speaker 6: basically steal the game.

958
00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:41,120
Speaker 1: Yeah that's good.

959
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:43,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean he played throughout the series, but literally

960
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:46,360
Speaker 6: to come in that cold and have a chance to

961
00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:48,319
Speaker 6: really ice the game and he knowed him and you guys, no,

962
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:51,239
Speaker 6: I love a good free throw. So yeah, so I

963
00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:52,719
Speaker 6: think that was a pretty important moment.

964
00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:56,520
Speaker 4: All right, next one here, This is from Eugene in Moscow.

965
00:46:56,920 --> 00:46:57,720
Speaker 5: Hey, no dunks.

966
00:46:57,840 --> 00:47:00,719
Speaker 4: I've been a Bulls fan since Derek Rose's first Back then,

967
00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:03,480
Speaker 4: I tried to watch every Bulls game, but didn't consume

968
00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:06,799
Speaker 4: other content about the league, like TV shows or podcasts.

969
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:10,040
Speaker 4: When my Bulls fell apart and Jimmy Butler left, I

970
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:12,600
Speaker 4: just watched the big games, but started to catch every

971
00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:16,480
Speaker 4: starter show and drop podcast the last couple of seasons.

972
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:18,200
Speaker 4: I tried to watch the Bulls at the start of

973
00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:22,279
Speaker 4: the season, but you know, it wasn't all that satisfying.

974
00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:26,600
Speaker 4: So this season I'm consuming like a dozen podcasts or

975
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:31,399
Speaker 4: shows about the NBA and watching almost zero games. Well

976
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:33,960
Speaker 4: here's the question, and Lee does a great accent, So Lee,

977
00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:35,080
Speaker 4: you want to strain the question.

978
00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:40,200
Speaker 6: My question is do you have some theme interest to

979
00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:44,400
Speaker 6: a hobby that you don't actually do, but consume content

980
00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:45,080
Speaker 6: about it?

981
00:47:49,040 --> 00:47:50,280
Speaker 2: The count has arrived.

982
00:47:53,680 --> 00:48:00,880
Speaker 1: That's from Genet. I think I've said this before. I

983
00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:02,759
Speaker 1: feel like we've had a similar question before, at least,

984
00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:05,799
Speaker 1: or at least why I brought this up. But the

985
00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:09,680
Speaker 1: Masked Man Show on The Ringer podcast Network, hosted by

986
00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:14,120
Speaker 1: David Shoemaker, it's about wrestling. I consume it religiously. I

987
00:48:14,160 --> 00:48:16,719
Speaker 1: mean I almost listen to every single episode and they're

988
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:20,840
Speaker 1: talking about wrestling, and I almost never watch it outside

989
00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:23,680
Speaker 1: of the odd like WrestleMania or maybe you know, a

990
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:26,880
Speaker 1: Royal Rumble or something. So it's just the way to

991
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:29,399
Speaker 1: keep up sort of on I don't read any other

992
00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:32,799
Speaker 1: websites about wrestling, you know, nothing like that. It's this

993
00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:37,080
Speaker 1: is how I sort of stay a very casual wrestling

994
00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:40,320
Speaker 1: fan by listening to The Masked Man Show, and it

995
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:41,080
Speaker 1: works perfectly.

996
00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:43,640
Speaker 2: It makes you wonder would you be able to be

997
00:48:43,680 --> 00:48:47,160
Speaker 2: a fan of Like if somebody just did a great

998
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:49,319
Speaker 2: podcast on Days of Our Lives and you're just hearing

999
00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:51,960
Speaker 2: these dramatic stories that are not all that different from

1000
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:55,240
Speaker 2: wrestling stories, I guess, kind of just minus the body slams.

1001
00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:57,560
Speaker 2: You know, if somebody was good enough, could you just

1002
00:48:57,560 --> 00:48:59,840
Speaker 2: become a soap opera fan from listening to podcasts?

1003
00:48:59,880 --> 00:49:02,960
Speaker 1: I think so. I feel like a wrestling fan even

1004
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:05,120
Speaker 1: though I don't even watch it, because I sort of

1005
00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:08,400
Speaker 1: know what's going on enough. I think I could hang

1006
00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:12,160
Speaker 1: with at least another casual it does watch it in

1007
00:49:12,239 --> 00:49:14,719
Speaker 1: terms of talking about the characters. Yeah, and the storylines.

1008
00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:16,960
Speaker 2: You're saying you could go blow for blow inside the square.

1009
00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:18,120
Speaker 3: That's right.

1010
00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:22,440
Speaker 7: I could sit on my couch for an entire Sunday

1011
00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:27,760
Speaker 7: afternoon watching home renovations shows. But I am never lifting

1012
00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:31,640
Speaker 7: a finger around to my house to improve my situation

1013
00:49:31,800 --> 00:49:35,799
Speaker 7: around here. It's just not happening. But I'm fascinated by

1014
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:38,960
Speaker 7: watching it on television. I don't know why. It's a

1015
00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:41,120
Speaker 7: it's a great hangover view as well.

1016
00:49:41,239 --> 00:49:44,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, do you a love it all listed fan?

1017
00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:46,400
Speaker 7: I think that's probably my number one.

1018
00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:48,600
Speaker 3: Home renovation That is awesome.

1019
00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:51,000
Speaker 7: It's one of the it's one of the most successful

1020
00:49:51,040 --> 00:49:52,959
Speaker 7: Canadian television shows of all time.

1021
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:56,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, trivia for you anybody else?

1022
00:49:57,320 --> 00:49:59,719
Speaker 2: I mean, I think I've talked a lot about the

1023
00:49:59,719 --> 00:50:02,200
Speaker 2: fact that I really love all of the lore and

1024
00:50:02,239 --> 00:50:05,719
Speaker 2: the stories and just how deep the past goes for

1025
00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:09,120
Speaker 2: everything that's in the mafia, But ultimately I'm not in

1026
00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:15,040
Speaker 2: the mafia. Despite knowing what America is. Probably shouldn't have

1027
00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:15,520
Speaker 2: just mentioned it.

1028
00:50:18,239 --> 00:50:20,640
Speaker 6: I guess one thing I used to consume when I

1029
00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:23,120
Speaker 6: moved back to Toronto. I used to get the subway

1030
00:50:23,160 --> 00:50:24,719
Speaker 6: to work, and you know how you have that free

1031
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:26,600
Speaker 6: Metro newspaper in the morning, So I don't know if

1032
00:50:26,600 --> 00:50:30,040
Speaker 6: they even still have that. But every Wednesday there used

1033
00:50:30,040 --> 00:50:32,160
Speaker 6: to be a writer, sports writer, and he used to

1034
00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:35,320
Speaker 6: write these really sort of deep articles about the CFL.

1035
00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:37,520
Speaker 3: And I was always like, God.

1036
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:41,360
Speaker 6: The CFL, Like who gives about the CFL, especially in Toronto,

1037
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:43,000
Speaker 6: you know, But he used to write these stuff. Is

1038
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:45,480
Speaker 6: if it was like you know, watch bombs, like you

1039
00:50:45,480 --> 00:50:47,520
Speaker 6: would say you would talk about trade rooms and stuff,

1040
00:50:47,560 --> 00:50:50,640
Speaker 6: and I'm just like, I've never heard anyone talk about it,

1041
00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:53,040
Speaker 6: but I used to love reading about it for some reason.

1042
00:50:53,080 --> 00:50:55,080
Speaker 6: I was just like, it's like this guy could be

1043
00:50:55,120 --> 00:50:57,920
Speaker 6: completely making this up and no one would even know

1044
00:50:58,200 --> 00:51:00,400
Speaker 6: at all. I mean, if you're in Cisco actually one

1045
00:51:00,440 --> 00:51:02,720
Speaker 6: or some way where they don't have another professional team,

1046
00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:05,840
Speaker 6: it's like, okay, maybe there's some interest there. But in Toronto,

1047
00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:08,759
Speaker 6: like the argos are just you know, they're so they're

1048
00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:12,520
Speaker 6: probably behind the Toronto Rock in terms of sporting interest.

1049
00:51:13,640 --> 00:51:15,279
Speaker 6: But he used to get an article every week and

1050
00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:18,400
Speaker 6: just talk about the CFL, and just like wow, I

1051
00:51:18,440 --> 00:51:21,680
Speaker 6: mean when the editor gets this, does he just go, yeah, cool,

1052
00:51:21,719 --> 00:51:23,799
Speaker 6: great article, man. I have no idea. I have no

1053
00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:25,520
Speaker 6: idea what you're talking about. I have no idea if

1054
00:51:25,560 --> 00:51:28,200
Speaker 6: anyone cares. And I don't even know why we go

1055
00:51:28,239 --> 00:51:29,600
Speaker 6: ahead with this, like talk about.

1056
00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:30,960
Speaker 5: The Leaves, the son of a bit.

1057
00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:35,239
Speaker 4: You come into my country and you tell me that

1058
00:51:35,320 --> 00:51:37,680
Speaker 4: people can't watch, you don't watch. You shouldn't care about

1059
00:51:37,680 --> 00:51:40,719
Speaker 4: the Canadian Football League or the Australian Football League, whatever

1060
00:51:40,719 --> 00:51:41,520
Speaker 4: the hell it's called.

1061
00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:43,720
Speaker 5: That's a piecing.

1062
00:51:46,040 --> 00:51:48,239
Speaker 2: The Melbourne Doogies.

1063
00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:50,600
Speaker 3: The Melbourne Demons and Melbourne Demons.

1064
00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:53,360
Speaker 6: But I'm saying, I'm talking like, if it's the Leafs,

1065
00:51:53,400 --> 00:51:55,080
Speaker 6: at least you know some people are going to care

1066
00:51:55,120 --> 00:51:55,440
Speaker 6: about it.

1067
00:51:55,480 --> 00:51:57,520
Speaker 3: Oh, I mean how many games? How many Argo games

1068
00:51:57,560 --> 00:51:58,719
Speaker 3: did you go to? Tests?

1069
00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:00,800
Speaker 5: Not many.

1070
00:52:01,160 --> 00:52:02,200
Speaker 3: I've been to one game.

1071
00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:06,560
Speaker 2: No one was there, No one can come on, you

1072
00:52:06,600 --> 00:52:08,480
Speaker 2: got to keep up the date on where rocket Ismale

1073
00:52:08,560 --> 00:52:09,000
Speaker 2: is gonna go.

1074
00:52:09,520 --> 00:52:12,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, Lee, back in the day, were you more of

1075
00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:14,239
Speaker 1: a Rough Riders fan or a Rough Riders fan?

1076
00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:19,640
Speaker 3: Give me the Rough Riders man? Oh day?

1077
00:52:19,840 --> 00:52:21,120
Speaker 6: Okay, Yeah that.

1078
00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:23,680
Speaker 1: Was That was my buddy Grisha's favorite matchup because you

1079
00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:25,399
Speaker 1: could never lose, because he was always true for.

1080
00:52:25,360 --> 00:52:26,120
Speaker 2: The Rough Riders.

1081
00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:28,200
Speaker 3: Oh, that'd be Kem Stewart's favorite game.

1082
00:52:30,280 --> 00:52:31,680
Speaker 1: Who they played, the Rough Riders.

1083
00:52:34,080 --> 00:52:36,439
Speaker 7: I think I know more people in Atlanta that watch

1084
00:52:36,480 --> 00:52:38,280
Speaker 7: the CFL than I did. INTI Rocker?

1085
00:52:39,719 --> 00:52:43,319
Speaker 6: Yeah, well the occasionally had teams in the US, didn't

1086
00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:44,080
Speaker 6: they Like Memphis?

1087
00:52:44,080 --> 00:52:50,000
Speaker 3: I think they had one, and yeah, Baltimore, Yeahveport Louisiana.

1088
00:52:49,360 --> 00:52:54,120
Speaker 6: Or yeah, Hell the hell did Shreveport, Louisiana get a

1089
00:52:54,160 --> 00:52:55,160
Speaker 6: team in the CFL.

1090
00:52:56,440 --> 00:52:57,560
Speaker 1: They didn't have it for long.

1091
00:52:58,160 --> 00:53:00,000
Speaker 4: It is weird, how like you said, j D, it's

1092
00:53:00,120 --> 00:53:02,319
Speaker 4: on television down here, I think it was. It's on

1093
00:53:02,360 --> 00:53:06,239
Speaker 4: the NBC Sports Network. I think people watch it. Yeah,

1094
00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:10,880
Speaker 4: dig into the Blue Bombers versus the Eskimos entertaining football.

1095
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:13,880
Speaker 1: Baby was throwing that thing left and right now. The

1096
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:16,879
Speaker 1: NFL is just copying the CFL. Just throw it every down.

1097
00:53:16,920 --> 00:53:18,719
Speaker 1: Why don't you try running the ball every once in

1098
00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:25,680
Speaker 1: a while. Our balls are bigger up in Canada. I

1099
00:53:25,719 --> 00:53:27,600
Speaker 1: was gonna say something, Oh, you said you went to

1100
00:53:27,800 --> 00:53:32,080
Speaker 1: one CFL game. Lead how many Toronto Rock lacrosse games

1101
00:53:32,120 --> 00:53:33,440
Speaker 1: did you go to? Ashley Docking?

1102
00:53:33,520 --> 00:53:37,359
Speaker 6: We will I've probably been to ten Rock games. But

1103
00:53:37,960 --> 00:53:38,839
Speaker 6: because I got a freak ticket.

1104
00:53:38,920 --> 00:53:40,040
Speaker 3: Yeah. I thincause I got freak tickets.

1105
00:53:40,040 --> 00:53:40,759
Speaker 1: I never fight for them.

1106
00:53:41,880 --> 00:53:42,840
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah.

1107
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:46,520
Speaker 2: Now you know they're giving away tickets to the Rock

1108
00:53:46,600 --> 00:53:49,080
Speaker 2: and you can't even get a ticket to the Arcos.

1109
00:53:49,920 --> 00:53:52,640
Speaker 6: The IGOs was played at the Skydimee there with the

1110
00:53:52,719 --> 00:53:54,520
Speaker 6: Rugers Center there, and I was like, man, this is

1111
00:53:54,680 --> 00:53:56,600
Speaker 6: like there was Honestly, it felt like there was about

1112
00:53:56,600 --> 00:53:57,840
Speaker 6: a hundred people in the stands.

1113
00:53:57,840 --> 00:53:58,479
Speaker 3: It's too big.

1114
00:53:58,800 --> 00:53:59,719
Speaker 1: I don't play there now.

1115
00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:01,640
Speaker 3: No, they play at the at.

1116
00:54:01,480 --> 00:54:04,320
Speaker 6: The mL, at the Toronto FC, isn't it, I think.

1117
00:54:04,239 --> 00:54:05,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, at that area, Yeah, yeah, studium.

1118
00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:06,200
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1119
00:54:06,280 --> 00:54:08,759
Speaker 6: Having said that, I of course love pinball Clements. How

1120
00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:11,799
Speaker 6: can you not love pinballs? An incredible man. I've got

1121
00:54:11,800 --> 00:54:14,719
Speaker 6: a chance of interviewing once and I think I asked

1122
00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:16,719
Speaker 6: him like two questions and the interview went for like

1123
00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:20,000
Speaker 6: forty five minutes. He was just so oh, yeah, yeah,

1124
00:54:20,040 --> 00:54:22,439
Speaker 6: it's great to be here. You know, he's a great,

1125
00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:24,960
Speaker 6: great human being. Pinball Clements. He should be Prime Minister

1126
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:28,400
Speaker 6: of Canada.

1127
00:54:28,719 --> 00:54:33,680
Speaker 1: Moving on, Hey, no Duncan donuts. I am a longtime fan,

1128
00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:36,600
Speaker 1: going back to the days of the starters. There have

1129
00:54:36,719 --> 00:54:39,600
Speaker 1: been many great NBA uniforms through the years and some

1130
00:54:39,880 --> 00:54:42,600
Speaker 1: also pretty terrible ones. My question, if you could draft

1131
00:54:42,680 --> 00:54:45,960
Speaker 1: your top three favorite and your top three least favorite

1132
00:54:46,120 --> 00:54:49,120
Speaker 1: NBA uniforms of all time, what would they be? Thanks

1133
00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:51,160
Speaker 1: for getting me through this quarantine? Turn up love you guys.

1134
00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:51,560
Speaker 2: Awesome.

1135
00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:54,400
Speaker 1: That's from Jishnu in Washington, DC.

1136
00:54:54,880 --> 00:54:55,040
Speaker 2: Trey.

1137
00:54:55,080 --> 00:54:57,000
Speaker 1: Why don't you answer this one? You got some favorites

1138
00:54:57,000 --> 00:54:58,680
Speaker 1: and on favorites.

1139
00:54:59,280 --> 00:55:02,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna this answer though, and change the rules

1140
00:55:02,040 --> 00:55:05,640
Speaker 2: a lot of times. Number one. First of all, there

1141
00:55:05,680 --> 00:55:08,120
Speaker 2: are three uniforms that I think are locked in as

1142
00:55:08,239 --> 00:55:11,800
Speaker 2: the greatest in NBA history. The Bulls, Red, Lakers, Gold,

1143
00:55:11,920 --> 00:55:14,919
Speaker 2: Celtic's green. You can have them in any order, that's mine.

1144
00:55:14,960 --> 00:55:17,840
Speaker 2: The Bulls is the best. It's crazy how almost every

1145
00:55:18,360 --> 00:55:20,920
Speaker 2: or so many Michael Jordan classic moments are on the

1146
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:22,840
Speaker 2: road wearing red. That's why I was happy when they

1147
00:55:22,840 --> 00:55:24,480
Speaker 2: switched to wear and red at home. That was cool

1148
00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:26,359
Speaker 2: to see it a little bit more often. Okay, those

1149
00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:28,880
Speaker 2: are the top three, but my favorites I'll start at

1150
00:55:28,920 --> 00:55:33,120
Speaker 2: number three. The Orlando Magic nineties black pin stripes uniforms

1151
00:55:33,680 --> 00:55:38,360
Speaker 2: Shack Penny, you know, right when they're franchise started. I

1152
00:55:38,440 --> 00:55:40,680
Speaker 2: just think those are awesome. With the A is a Star.

1153
00:55:40,960 --> 00:55:45,239
Speaker 2: At number two, I love the Blazers nineties white uniforms

1154
00:55:45,239 --> 00:55:47,520
Speaker 2: with the stripes across. It's just the red and the black.

1155
00:55:47,560 --> 00:55:49,360
Speaker 2: They hadn't added the silver yet, and they got that

1156
00:55:49,400 --> 00:55:53,000
Speaker 2: little drop shadow on the team name. Beautiful. Number one

1157
00:55:53,040 --> 00:55:57,320
Speaker 2: favorite though the Sun's rising sun jerseys. Take your pick, purple,

1158
00:55:57,600 --> 00:56:00,560
Speaker 2: black or white. They're all classic, and they're purf suns.

1159
00:56:00,600 --> 00:56:03,120
Speaker 2: You flip it over, it still looks like suns Amazing.

1160
00:56:04,320 --> 00:56:06,799
Speaker 2: The worst, however, I gotta start with some trends at

1161
00:56:06,880 --> 00:56:10,480
Speaker 2: number three, the worst trend ever. Third worst trend ever.

1162
00:56:10,640 --> 00:56:14,000
Speaker 2: Black trim on classic jerseys. I hated when the Knicks

1163
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:16,760
Speaker 2: added those black panels to their jerseys in the nineteen nineties.

1164
00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:18,880
Speaker 2: I don't like the Celtics ones that were green and

1165
00:56:18,920 --> 00:56:21,000
Speaker 2: they added the black on the side. If you've got

1166
00:56:21,040 --> 00:56:24,160
Speaker 2: a classic, why add black just because it's the nineteen nineties.

1167
00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:28,000
Speaker 2: Doesn't make sense to me. Number two worst trend any

1168
00:56:28,160 --> 00:56:31,440
Speaker 2: shiny jersey. I'm talking about the gold King's jersey, the

1169
00:56:31,520 --> 00:56:35,479
Speaker 2: silver MAVs jersey, the Wizards when they wore gold up top,

1170
00:56:35,560 --> 00:56:39,239
Speaker 2: black up bottom. It just doesn't work. Even that era

1171
00:56:39,320 --> 00:56:42,080
Speaker 2: of NBA jersey where they were using the dazzle cloth,

1172
00:56:42,080 --> 00:56:44,200
Speaker 2: and everything kind of looked a little bit like lingerie

1173
00:56:44,440 --> 00:56:46,880
Speaker 2: wasn't really feeling it. I want my mesh to be mesh.

1174
00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:47,520
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1175
00:56:48,040 --> 00:56:50,040
Speaker 2: But my number one worst jersey, it's not a trend,

1176
00:56:50,080 --> 00:56:53,240
Speaker 2: it's a straight up worst jersey. The Rockets pinstriped jersey.

1177
00:56:53,800 --> 00:56:56,120
Speaker 2: They've got everything bad about a jersey. They took a

1178
00:56:56,160 --> 00:56:58,760
Speaker 2: classic and they messed it up. They added a stupid

1179
00:56:58,800 --> 00:57:01,480
Speaker 2: cartoon on the front, they did weird pin stripes that

1180
00:57:01,520 --> 00:57:04,239
Speaker 2: don't even connect at the top or the bottom, and

1181
00:57:04,280 --> 00:57:06,279
Speaker 2: then Yao Ming had to wear him for almost his

1182
00:57:06,520 --> 00:57:09,520
Speaker 2: entire career. That was just tough, tough look for y'all there.

1183
00:57:10,200 --> 00:57:12,600
Speaker 2: But yeah, they had a classic look with the red

1184
00:57:12,640 --> 00:57:15,319
Speaker 2: and the yellow, won two championships and then switched to

1185
00:57:15,400 --> 00:57:18,120
Speaker 2: maybe the worst jersey of all time. So that one

1186
00:57:18,640 --> 00:57:20,560
Speaker 2: is the all time poops for me.

1187
00:57:20,880 --> 00:57:23,040
Speaker 1: The Pajama Rockets strewsy.

1188
00:57:22,720 --> 00:57:24,080
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, brutal.

1189
00:57:24,360 --> 00:57:27,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, great breakdown, next one here, Hey, no

1190
00:57:27,240 --> 00:57:30,040
Speaker 4: Diggity's yesterday. I was daydreaming and trying to figure out

1191
00:57:30,040 --> 00:57:33,560
Speaker 4: the top ten most successful NBA franchises. The top seven

1192
00:57:33,560 --> 00:57:38,800
Speaker 4: toreazy in no particular order. Lakers, Celtics, Bulls, Spurs, Pistons, Warriors,

1193
00:57:38,800 --> 00:57:41,600
Speaker 4: and Heat. The fun part of my internal debate was

1194
00:57:41,640 --> 00:57:43,400
Speaker 4: trying to figure out the last three. I got it

1195
00:57:43,440 --> 00:57:48,240
Speaker 4: down to these four ok SE Slash, Seattle, Utah, Houston

1196
00:57:48,560 --> 00:57:52,400
Speaker 4: and Philly. I have I have a couple questions that

1197
00:57:52,440 --> 00:57:55,440
Speaker 4: I would like to hear you guys debate. Since I

1198
00:57:55,480 --> 00:57:58,240
Speaker 4: can only pick three, which of the last four teams

1199
00:57:58,400 --> 00:58:03,160
Speaker 4: do I need to exclude? Or would you take out

1200
00:58:03,240 --> 00:58:06,320
Speaker 4: more than one and include a team I've admitted? And

1201
00:58:06,360 --> 00:58:08,520
Speaker 4: am I overlooking the Knicks under two championships?

1202
00:58:08,560 --> 00:58:09,320
Speaker 5: God? I hope not.

1203
00:58:09,640 --> 00:58:13,040
Speaker 4: However, they're the only team with multiple Lario Brians not

1204
00:58:13,280 --> 00:58:15,439
Speaker 4: on my list. Thanks guys, and keep up the great work.

1205
00:58:15,440 --> 00:58:18,160
Speaker 4: That's from Mike and Calgary Alberta Golf Stampeders.

1206
00:58:18,640 --> 00:58:22,640
Speaker 6: Will. Yeah, well, I'm gonna leael Us this one a

1207
00:58:22,680 --> 00:58:25,960
Speaker 6: little bit. I'm gonna tweak his question because the league

1208
00:58:25,960 --> 00:58:28,520
Speaker 6: has just changed and expanded so much, and teams have

1209
00:58:28,600 --> 00:58:31,360
Speaker 6: moved around, and you know, sometimes you're not quite sure

1210
00:58:31,400 --> 00:58:33,960
Speaker 6: which team gets credited for a championship, Like, for example,

1211
00:58:34,320 --> 00:58:37,160
Speaker 6: no one looks at the OKAC Thunder and says, well,

1212
00:58:37,240 --> 00:58:40,000
Speaker 6: the Sonics won the championship in seventy nine so that's

1213
00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:42,440
Speaker 6: one for the Thunder. I mean, as far as I'm concerned,

1214
00:58:42,880 --> 00:58:45,080
Speaker 6: the Sonics franchise ended in two thousand and eight and

1215
00:58:45,120 --> 00:58:47,800
Speaker 6: the Thunder started in two thousand and eight, So you know,

1216
00:58:47,920 --> 00:58:50,840
Speaker 6: I'm not crediting the Thunder with anything that happened prior

1217
00:58:50,880 --> 00:58:53,920
Speaker 6: to Okay see and the merger in seventy six. I mean,

1218
00:58:53,960 --> 00:58:56,320
Speaker 6: I think that that's a huge deal because you know,

1219
00:58:56,480 --> 00:58:58,480
Speaker 6: the NBA and the ABA merged, and I think though

1220
00:58:58,520 --> 00:59:01,600
Speaker 6: the most significant change in the league history was a

1221
00:59:01,640 --> 00:59:04,160
Speaker 6: seventy nine eighty season when the three point line was introduced.

1222
00:59:04,200 --> 00:59:07,200
Speaker 6: So I decided to go on the top ten most

1223
00:59:07,200 --> 00:59:09,560
Speaker 6: successful franchises since nineteen eighty.

1224
00:59:09,920 --> 00:59:10,760
Speaker 1: I think I.

1225
00:59:10,680 --> 00:59:12,200
Speaker 6: Think this is a better way of doing it because

1226
00:59:12,200 --> 00:59:14,439
Speaker 6: that was clearly the NBA and that was a three

1227
00:59:14,480 --> 00:59:17,439
Speaker 6: point line, that's when it was introduced. So here are

1228
00:59:17,520 --> 00:59:20,720
Speaker 6: in order, the top ten teams since nineteen eighty. The

1229
00:59:20,800 --> 00:59:24,920
Speaker 6: Lakers number one. Ten championships from sixteen appearances in the finals.

1230
00:59:25,080 --> 00:59:27,360
Speaker 6: They went back to back twice and had a three

1231
00:59:27,360 --> 00:59:29,600
Speaker 6: peat in there. So they are clearly the favorite. Oh,

1232
00:59:29,600 --> 00:59:32,360
Speaker 6: they're clearly the leader. The Bulls come in second, six

1233
00:59:32,400 --> 00:59:36,080
Speaker 6: for six and wins in the finals are weighted heavier

1234
00:59:36,080 --> 00:59:40,000
Speaker 6: than appearances to to three peats. Can't really dispute that

1235
00:59:40,320 --> 00:59:44,040
Speaker 6: number three the San Antonio Spurs five championships from six appearances.

1236
00:59:44,480 --> 00:59:46,760
Speaker 6: Really amazing that the Spurs never went back to back.

1237
00:59:46,800 --> 00:59:49,120
Speaker 6: I think that's one of the great sort of mysteries

1238
00:59:49,120 --> 00:59:51,800
Speaker 6: of the Spurs dominance over the last fifteen to twenty years,

1239
00:59:51,840 --> 00:59:54,080
Speaker 6: that they were never able. Now, in fact, only ever

1240
00:59:54,160 --> 00:59:57,760
Speaker 6: made the finals twice, and that was thirteen fourteen, or

1241
00:59:57,840 --> 00:59:59,720
Speaker 6: back to back, I should say when they lost the

1242
00:59:59,760 --> 01:00:02,960
Speaker 6: first one, there to mame heat number four. Now this

1243
01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:05,280
Speaker 6: is where you know the Beantown Boys might come after me,

1244
01:00:05,320 --> 01:00:07,600
Speaker 6: but I'm afraid this is where they finally heard their music.

1245
01:00:08,880 --> 01:00:12,280
Speaker 6: I'm coming up the hell now the Spurs. The Celtics

1246
01:00:12,320 --> 01:00:15,120
Speaker 6: have more appearances than the Spurs and Bulls with seven,

1247
01:00:15,160 --> 01:00:15,520
Speaker 6: but they.

1248
01:00:15,440 --> 01:00:16,600
Speaker 3: Only have four championships.

1249
01:00:16,600 --> 01:00:18,320
Speaker 6: They won one, eighty four, eighty six and oh eight

1250
01:00:18,360 --> 01:00:20,400
Speaker 6: and they lost eighty five, eighty seven and twenty ten.

1251
01:00:20,520 --> 01:00:23,960
Speaker 6: So you know, as I say, you get more points

1252
01:00:24,120 --> 01:00:27,720
Speaker 6: four championship wins rather than just appearances. Now it gets

1253
01:00:27,720 --> 01:00:29,200
Speaker 6: a little bit tricky because where do you have the

1254
01:00:29,240 --> 01:00:30,160
Speaker 6: Celtics under four?

1255
01:00:30,240 --> 01:00:31,200
Speaker 3: Number four? Number four?

1256
01:00:31,240 --> 01:00:33,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, now it gets a little bit tricky because we

1257
01:00:33,880 --> 01:00:38,000
Speaker 6: have three teams tied with three championships from five appearances,

1258
01:00:38,280 --> 01:00:41,480
Speaker 6: the Warriors, Heat and Pistons. So to break the tie,

1259
01:00:41,920 --> 01:00:46,480
Speaker 6: I had to go on consecutive finals appearances. Therefore, the

1260
01:00:46,520 --> 01:00:48,560
Speaker 6: Warriors come in at number five because they went to

1261
01:00:48,640 --> 01:00:50,840
Speaker 6: five straight and had a back to back in there.

1262
01:00:51,360 --> 01:00:54,080
Speaker 6: Number six is the Heat because they went to four

1263
01:00:54,160 --> 01:00:56,840
Speaker 6: straight finals and had a back to back in there.

1264
01:00:57,360 --> 01:00:59,480
Speaker 6: And then it's the Pistons at number seven because they

1265
01:00:59,520 --> 01:01:02,760
Speaker 6: went to three straight eighty eight, eighty nine, and ninety,

1266
01:01:03,080 --> 01:01:05,720
Speaker 6: but of course only won eighty nine and ninety and

1267
01:01:05,760 --> 01:01:06,600
Speaker 6: they lost two thousand.

1268
01:01:06,720 --> 01:01:08,080
Speaker 1: Detroit dudes are coming.

1269
01:01:09,720 --> 01:01:10,880
Speaker 3: I mean, I have to find a reason.

1270
01:01:17,240 --> 01:01:19,680
Speaker 6: But still, hey, listen, there's seventh on the list, and

1271
01:01:19,720 --> 01:01:21,960
Speaker 6: that's a pretty good performance from the Pistons. Number eight

1272
01:01:22,280 --> 01:01:25,960
Speaker 6: Houston Rockets. Four appearances and even split two and two,

1273
01:01:26,240 --> 01:01:28,480
Speaker 6: and from nineteen eighty one to nineteen ninety five they

1274
01:01:28,480 --> 01:01:30,720
Speaker 6: went four times to the finals. That's that's a pretty

1275
01:01:30,760 --> 01:01:31,720
Speaker 6: good return for a team.

1276
01:01:32,160 --> 01:01:34,080
Speaker 2: Are you darken them for those trash jerseys?

1277
01:01:34,280 --> 01:01:35,640
Speaker 3: Sure you know that.

1278
01:01:36,040 --> 01:01:37,920
Speaker 6: I'm glad you brought that up, because as much as

1279
01:01:37,920 --> 01:01:39,880
Speaker 6: I love the Rockets history and the tradition, and they're

1280
01:01:39,920 --> 01:01:42,320
Speaker 6: they're classic jerseys when they won the championships. There.

1281
01:01:42,800 --> 01:01:43,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, those ones.

1282
01:01:43,600 --> 01:01:44,840
Speaker 6: The pinstripes are rawful.

1283
01:01:44,920 --> 01:01:46,480
Speaker 3: They really are rawful, terrible.

1284
01:01:46,600 --> 01:01:48,520
Speaker 6: I always just think of Charles Barkley two in those

1285
01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:52,320
Speaker 6: It's like Barkley at the end of his career in Houston.

1286
01:01:52,720 --> 01:01:55,520
Speaker 6: It was kind of synonymous, I thought. But anyway, moving

1287
01:01:55,560 --> 01:01:59,680
Speaker 6: on number nine, the Cleveland Coveral is only one championship,

1288
01:01:59,680 --> 01:02:03,959
Speaker 6: but war five appearances excuse me, from from nineteen eighty

1289
01:02:03,960 --> 01:02:06,720
Speaker 6: to twenty nineteen. Of course, they went once with Lebron

1290
01:02:06,720 --> 01:02:08,320
Speaker 6: in two thousand and seven, and then they made the

1291
01:02:08,360 --> 01:02:11,960
Speaker 6: four straight from twenty fifteen to twenty and eighteen, winning

1292
01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:14,360
Speaker 6: of course in two thoy and sixteen, which was good

1293
01:02:14,400 --> 01:02:16,439
Speaker 6: because they wouldn't have made the list if they didn't

1294
01:02:16,440 --> 01:02:19,480
Speaker 6: win that one championship. And number ten, it's the Philadelphia

1295
01:02:19,520 --> 01:02:22,520
Speaker 6: seventy six is one win in nineteen eighty three and

1296
01:02:22,640 --> 01:02:26,000
Speaker 6: three losses nineteen eighty, nineteen eighty two, and two thousand

1297
01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:26,880
Speaker 6: and one they lost.

1298
01:02:26,960 --> 01:02:28,080
Speaker 3: So there you go.

1299
01:02:28,120 --> 01:02:30,680
Speaker 6: That's the top ten franchises since nineteen eighty Shout out

1300
01:02:30,720 --> 01:02:32,520
Speaker 6: to the Dallas Mavericks who were one on one.

1301
01:02:32,800 --> 01:02:35,080
Speaker 3: But but of course appearance on two.

1302
01:02:35,360 --> 01:02:36,440
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, one of two.

1303
01:02:36,560 --> 01:02:40,360
Speaker 6: See yeah yeah, one of one. Yeah. So the Mavericks, Yeah,

1304
01:02:40,400 --> 01:02:42,000
Speaker 6: they just didn't make it as many times as the

1305
01:02:42,040 --> 01:02:45,080
Speaker 6: Sixers did. But fun question. Thanks very much for sending

1306
01:02:45,080 --> 01:02:48,360
Speaker 6: that in, Mike and go rough Riders or Stampeders.

1307
01:02:48,360 --> 01:02:52,000
Speaker 3: Serus me Stampede.

1308
01:02:52,680 --> 01:02:57,440
Speaker 1: Let them breakdown, Okay, Next one. Boljeou no dunkers rating

1309
01:02:57,720 --> 01:03:01,480
Speaker 1: from cholet in the Grand area of France, a small

1310
01:03:01,520 --> 01:03:05,840
Speaker 1: town pro basketball club youth academy sent to the NBA.

1311
01:03:06,560 --> 01:03:09,680
Speaker 1: Isn't Michael or Miquel Jellyball? I always forget.

1312
01:03:12,640 --> 01:03:13,160
Speaker 7: Jellyball.

1313
01:03:14,040 --> 01:03:16,840
Speaker 6: Well, it was always it was always Michael Patris. But

1314
01:03:17,360 --> 01:03:19,040
Speaker 6: I think this one is a McKay life.

1315
01:03:19,280 --> 01:03:24,640
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, Nando de Coolo, Rodrique bl blah blah, Kevin Saraphin,

1316
01:03:24,760 --> 01:03:28,760
Speaker 1: Rudy Gobert, and maybe Killian Hayes in the next draft.

1317
01:03:29,200 --> 01:03:33,400
Speaker 1: There's a kid named Killian that's pretty badass. Hope he's good.

1318
01:03:34,040 --> 01:03:37,000
Speaker 1: I work from home as a freelance translator and proofreader,

1319
01:03:37,000 --> 01:03:39,480
Speaker 1: and last year I had the opportunity to make my

1320
01:03:39,600 --> 01:03:42,960
Speaker 1: debut in the hoops writing world. I wrote some articles

1321
01:03:42,960 --> 01:03:45,480
Speaker 1: for a book recap about last season and a magazine

1322
01:03:45,480 --> 01:03:47,680
Speaker 1: preview of this season. I also co wrote an NBA

1323
01:03:47,800 --> 01:03:51,360
Speaker 1: quiz about the league's history, both for casual and expert fans.

1324
01:03:52,200 --> 01:03:54,400
Speaker 1: Among other questions, I asked the readers what was the

1325
01:03:54,480 --> 01:03:57,480
Speaker 1: name given to the infamous brawl between the Detroit Pistons

1326
01:03:57,840 --> 01:04:00,880
Speaker 1: and Indiana Pacers played in November two thousand and four.

1327
01:04:01,160 --> 01:04:04,560
Speaker 1: There were three possible answers, Malisa the Palace, the Battle

1328
01:04:04,560 --> 01:04:08,680
Speaker 1: of Detroit, or Friday Night Fight Plays note the game

1329
01:04:08,720 --> 01:04:11,840
Speaker 1: was on a Friday night. Quite proud of this one, actually,

1330
01:04:11,920 --> 01:04:14,360
Speaker 1: he says, my question, do you think there is a

1331
01:04:14,360 --> 01:04:18,480
Speaker 1: famous game and or moment that wasn't given the legendary

1332
01:04:18,560 --> 01:04:21,320
Speaker 1: name it deserved? For example, I've never been a fan

1333
01:04:21,560 --> 01:04:25,520
Speaker 1: of the block by Lebron on Igodala in the finals.

1334
01:04:25,640 --> 01:04:29,640
Speaker 1: I understand this choice in relation with other iconic moments

1335
01:04:29,680 --> 01:04:33,760
Speaker 1: of Cleveland's for its history, the drive, the fumble, the decision,

1336
01:04:34,040 --> 01:04:37,120
Speaker 1: But in my opinion, the Chase down would have been

1337
01:04:37,160 --> 01:04:41,600
Speaker 1: way cooler. Cheers, Lamis. That's from Elvis. He is in

1338
01:04:41,640 --> 01:04:44,120
Speaker 1: the building, he's in this email, he's in a bestep in,

1339
01:04:45,920 --> 01:04:48,600
Speaker 1: so yeah he has. He's basically throwing out the idea

1340
01:04:48,680 --> 01:04:51,440
Speaker 1: that should it be called the Chase Down instead of

1341
01:04:51,480 --> 01:04:54,280
Speaker 1: the Block, and I was curious to see what was

1342
01:04:54,320 --> 01:04:56,760
Speaker 1: the first thing that popped up in Google when you

1343
01:04:56,800 --> 01:04:59,920
Speaker 1: typed in the chase down, and there are three you

1344
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:02,680
Speaker 1: two videos that popped up for me. One was Lebron

1345
01:05:02,760 --> 01:05:06,160
Speaker 1: James called Lebron James The Chase Down from the NBA.

1346
01:05:06,320 --> 01:05:07,960
Speaker 1: It's posted in two thousand and nine. It's just like

1347
01:05:08,040 --> 01:05:11,040
Speaker 1: highlights of Lebron's best chased down blocks. The other one

1348
01:05:11,080 --> 01:05:13,760
Speaker 1: was from Maximilian seven to one to one, same thing,

1349
01:05:13,920 --> 01:05:17,280
Speaker 1: highlights of Lebron James Chase down blocks, posted a little

1350
01:05:17,320 --> 01:05:19,960
Speaker 1: bit later. And then there was another one called like

1351
01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:22,240
Speaker 1: the Chase Down in the Charge Lebron's back to back

1352
01:05:22,320 --> 01:05:24,640
Speaker 1: smart plays and it's from like a game in October.

1353
01:05:25,000 --> 01:05:27,720
Speaker 1: So there's also a cast podcast called the Chase Down.

1354
01:05:29,520 --> 01:05:32,680
Speaker 1: I think he's got a bit of a point that

1355
01:05:33,320 --> 01:05:35,320
Speaker 1: is it a little bit better as the chase down

1356
01:05:35,400 --> 01:05:38,360
Speaker 1: instead of the block. Is the block to basic even

1357
01:05:38,400 --> 01:05:40,080
Speaker 1: though it fits like sort of that again like that

1358
01:05:40,120 --> 01:05:43,840
Speaker 1: Cleveland iconic sort of moments or infamous moments history. I

1359
01:05:43,840 --> 01:05:46,160
Speaker 1: don't know. I'm torn on this one. Like the block

1360
01:05:46,200 --> 01:05:50,200
Speaker 1: obviously works. The chase down, especially being a Lebron's specialty,

1361
01:05:50,280 --> 01:05:52,360
Speaker 1: is right there. Too, and that's there's no doubt that's

1362
01:05:52,400 --> 01:05:54,680
Speaker 1: what it was. Do you guys have an opinion on

1363
01:05:55,400 --> 01:05:56,440
Speaker 1: in this one in particular?

1364
01:05:57,760 --> 01:05:59,280
Speaker 3: I think it's more than the block.

1365
01:06:00,160 --> 01:06:02,120
Speaker 6: I get what he's saying, and there is a case

1366
01:06:02,160 --> 01:06:05,960
Speaker 6: to be made there, but it's more emphatic because it's

1367
01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:09,040
Speaker 6: that big slap onto the backboard, you know, that's what

1368
01:06:09,040 --> 01:06:12,280
Speaker 6: you remember more. Lebron has had some bigger chase downs

1369
01:06:12,280 --> 01:06:14,680
Speaker 6: where he comes from further away and sort of like

1370
01:06:14,760 --> 01:06:16,680
Speaker 6: swats it into the stands. But the fact that this

1371
01:06:16,760 --> 01:06:20,160
Speaker 6: kind of gets pinned against the board, you know, for me,

1372
01:06:20,520 --> 01:06:22,600
Speaker 6: makes it more that there should be known more for

1373
01:06:22,640 --> 01:06:24,600
Speaker 6: the block because he definitely does hunt him down, but

1374
01:06:24,680 --> 01:06:27,360
Speaker 6: not he doesn't come. He doesn't come like from like

1375
01:06:27,400 --> 01:06:29,320
Speaker 6: we've seen him on other ones where he just gets

1376
01:06:29,360 --> 01:06:31,320
Speaker 6: those legs pumping. He more just times this one to

1377
01:06:31,400 --> 01:06:34,520
Speaker 6: perfection rather than having to chase him down to get

1378
01:06:34,560 --> 01:06:36,880
Speaker 6: him because he's running out of time, if you know

1379
01:06:36,920 --> 01:06:37,360
Speaker 6: what I mean.

1380
01:06:37,640 --> 01:06:39,560
Speaker 4: I like the chase down better and I think it's

1381
01:06:39,600 --> 01:06:41,520
Speaker 4: just it's.

1382
01:06:41,680 --> 01:06:43,080
Speaker 5: Blainswead it was a little bit better.

1383
01:06:43,280 --> 01:06:45,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, Yeah, I think it's better. It's it's a little

1384
01:06:45,960 --> 01:06:50,480
Speaker 4: bit more specific. Yeah, to the point it was I

1385
01:06:50,520 --> 01:06:52,600
Speaker 4: get immediately get it in my brain that it's the

1386
01:06:52,960 --> 01:06:56,480
Speaker 4: chase down rather than the block. But is Tayshaun Prince

1387
01:06:56,520 --> 01:06:59,120
Speaker 4: doing it to Reggie Miller? Is that is that stealing ads?

1388
01:06:59,200 --> 01:07:01,200
Speaker 4: That borrowing it from that? Because that one, that one

1389
01:07:01,280 --> 01:07:02,560
Speaker 4: definitely more of a chase down.

1390
01:07:02,840 --> 01:07:05,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, you might be right, maybe a reason that's why

1391
01:07:05,920 --> 01:07:08,440
Speaker 1: it wasn't called that. I there's a Wikipedia page for

1392
01:07:08,520 --> 01:07:12,760
Speaker 1: Lebron's block in this final Game seven on igodolo, like

1393
01:07:12,880 --> 01:07:17,680
Speaker 1: a detailed, very long Wikipedia page. I actually recommend you

1394
01:07:17,680 --> 01:07:19,280
Speaker 1: go check it out. I was like, oh, yeah, I'd forgotten.

1395
01:07:19,440 --> 01:07:22,160
Speaker 1: You know when Lebron said that about he kept. Lebron

1396
01:07:22,280 --> 01:07:24,800
Speaker 1: was talked about after the games like j R. Smith,

1397
01:07:24,840 --> 01:07:27,240
Speaker 1: don't foul him, don't foul him, don't foul them. Like

1398
01:07:27,280 --> 01:07:29,840
Speaker 1: he's like, I've got it. I'm gonna time this perfectly.

1399
01:07:30,000 --> 01:07:32,919
Speaker 1: And then there's like a play by play of Breen

1400
01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:35,640
Speaker 1: on the call, you know, Iganolada curry back to igodol

1401
01:07:35,800 --> 01:07:38,080
Speaker 1: up for the layup oh block by James, Like this

1402
01:07:38,160 --> 01:07:41,320
Speaker 1: thing is lengthy, so it definitely stuck and it is

1403
01:07:41,400 --> 01:07:43,840
Speaker 1: no doubt referred to as the block. But Trey, do

1404
01:07:43,880 --> 01:07:45,960
Speaker 1: you like the chase down a bit? Better, like like tasaid,

1405
01:07:47,640 --> 01:07:49,200
Speaker 1: I don't know. I guess I'm fifty to fifty on it.

1406
01:07:49,240 --> 01:07:50,640
Speaker 1: Why not call it the chase down block?

1407
01:07:50,720 --> 01:07:53,040
Speaker 2: That describes everything Lee's trying to split it up in

1408
01:07:53,080 --> 01:07:55,560
Speaker 2: between when he's running on the court versus when he

1409
01:07:55,680 --> 01:07:59,200
Speaker 2: actually blocks it. Both parts are essential. I mean, Lebron

1410
01:07:59,600 --> 01:08:02,400
Speaker 2: comes from I'm far away away in a very fast

1411
01:08:02,440 --> 01:08:05,120
Speaker 2: amount of time, I would. I mean, there are other

1412
01:08:05,280 --> 01:08:08,680
Speaker 2: famous chase down blocks in history, but as time goes on,

1413
01:08:08,720 --> 01:08:11,040
Speaker 2: we're gonna forget about Tayshawn Prince's and we're gonna remember

1414
01:08:11,120 --> 01:08:13,640
Speaker 2: Lebron's in the finals. So yeah, call it the chase down,

1415
01:08:13,760 --> 01:08:15,520
Speaker 2: call it the block. Maybe it deserves two names.

1416
01:08:15,880 --> 01:08:19,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, Are there any other things that you think deserve

1417
01:08:19,200 --> 01:08:21,360
Speaker 1: like an upgrade on what they're called, or don't like

1418
01:08:21,400 --> 01:08:22,000
Speaker 1: what they're called.

1419
01:08:22,520 --> 01:08:25,120
Speaker 2: How about we call the flu game the disease vector game.

1420
01:08:25,680 --> 01:08:28,080
Speaker 2: It's really interesting to be watching that now while we're

1421
01:08:28,120 --> 01:08:31,000
Speaker 2: all quarantined as a virus goes around the world and

1422
01:08:31,040 --> 01:08:33,559
Speaker 2: everybody was celebrating Michael Jordan for going out there sick.

1423
01:08:33,600 --> 01:08:34,160
Speaker 1: I wonder if.

1424
01:08:34,080 --> 01:08:36,439
Speaker 2: Anybody on the Jazz ever came down with an illness,

1425
01:08:36,479 --> 01:08:40,200
Speaker 2: you know, after after playing against the MJ in the finals.

1426
01:08:40,600 --> 01:08:42,000
Speaker 5: They definitely did.

1427
01:08:42,920 --> 01:08:49,160
Speaker 4: I played against MJ sickness. I like the uh the

1428
01:08:49,640 --> 01:08:52,200
Speaker 4: when Tray McGrady scores thirteen points and thirty five seconds,

1429
01:08:52,240 --> 01:08:53,760
Speaker 4: I always have to think about.

1430
01:08:54,000 --> 01:08:55,839
Speaker 5: How many do you score? How many seconds?

1431
01:08:55,920 --> 01:08:58,559
Speaker 4: I think we just got to shorten that up. So

1432
01:08:58,720 --> 01:09:01,800
Speaker 4: I just want to call it the Unlucky thirteen. We

1433
01:09:01,880 --> 01:09:04,519
Speaker 4: lose the second, We definitely lose the amount of seconds

1434
01:09:04,520 --> 01:09:06,360
Speaker 4: that he did it in, but we've got to shorten

1435
01:09:06,360 --> 01:09:08,840
Speaker 4: it up. People can't remember that many words these days.

1436
01:09:08,840 --> 01:09:10,479
Speaker 4: It's just too many words.

1437
01:09:10,640 --> 01:09:15,080
Speaker 1: So Unlucky thirteen coming at it from the spur side

1438
01:09:15,080 --> 01:09:17,360
Speaker 1: of things, Yeah right right, I like that. I don't

1439
01:09:17,400 --> 01:09:20,000
Speaker 1: mind that. It's very memorable. Lee any other.

1440
01:09:19,840 --> 01:09:26,600
Speaker 6: Ones, No, I mean the stepover from Alan Iverson is uh?

1441
01:09:26,760 --> 01:09:28,439
Speaker 6: I mean, I guess we call that the step over.

1442
01:09:28,360 --> 01:09:29,760
Speaker 1: Don't Oh yeah? Yeah?

1443
01:09:29,840 --> 01:09:32,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, great thinking. Yeah right.

1444
01:09:33,000 --> 01:09:37,000
Speaker 2: It definitely feels like most nicknames are just exactly what happened, right,

1445
01:09:37,040 --> 01:09:39,960
Speaker 2: Michael Jordan's shot against Craig Elow, that's the shot. Shot

1446
01:09:40,120 --> 01:09:44,360
Speaker 2: Lebron blocked a shot. That's the block. Alan Iverson stepped over, guy,

1447
01:09:44,479 --> 01:09:46,679
Speaker 2: that's the step over. We just need to elevate everything,

1448
01:09:46,960 --> 01:09:47,200
Speaker 2: so we.

1449
01:09:47,200 --> 01:09:51,040
Speaker 1: Don't have and maybe it would have been if Lebron

1450
01:09:51,080 --> 01:09:53,800
Speaker 1: had thrown that one down on Draymond Green right at

1451
01:09:53,800 --> 01:09:57,760
Speaker 1: the end of game seven. We don't have just the dunk, right,

1452
01:09:58,040 --> 01:10:00,519
Speaker 1: Is that true? Get that label? No, No, I can't

1453
01:10:00,520 --> 01:10:04,360
Speaker 1: think of it, although I think Lebron's would be called

1454
01:10:04,360 --> 01:10:07,040
Speaker 1: that if he had, you know, successfully pulled off that

1455
01:10:07,120 --> 01:10:09,000
Speaker 1: posterization on dreamon.

1456
01:10:09,200 --> 01:10:10,879
Speaker 3: Well the death, the death.

1457
01:10:11,080 --> 01:10:14,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, the death. Oh I guess, uh, that's what the

1458
01:10:14,760 --> 01:10:18,000
Speaker 1: Vince Carter's on, Yeah, Frederick Weiss is called. Oh yeah, yeah,

1459
01:10:18,080 --> 01:10:20,000
Speaker 1: Fredrick Weiss, Yeah yeah.

1460
01:10:19,760 --> 01:10:22,479
Speaker 5: Yeah, all right, next one, Hey, dunk Boize.

1461
01:10:22,760 --> 01:10:25,639
Speaker 4: I was up late last night watching basketball clips on YouTube,

1462
01:10:25,680 --> 01:10:27,680
Speaker 4: trying to stay sane during this difficult time, when I

1463
01:10:27,760 --> 01:10:31,400
Speaker 4: randomly came across an incredible channel simply titled slam Ball

1464
01:10:32,240 --> 01:10:34,560
Speaker 4: has to be Expected. This channel features many highlights and

1465
01:10:34,720 --> 01:10:37,360
Speaker 4: all of the full games from the broadcast run of

1466
01:10:37,400 --> 01:10:41,880
Speaker 4: the seminal basketball spinoff slam Ball. I instantly began watching

1467
01:10:41,960 --> 01:10:44,920
Speaker 4: season one when an announcer mentioned that the coach of

1468
01:10:44,960 --> 01:10:48,080
Speaker 4: the Rumble had stopped his players from playing in an

1469
01:10:48,080 --> 01:10:51,960
Speaker 4: important game because of their academic issues. This coach's name,

1470
01:10:52,000 --> 01:10:57,240
Speaker 4: you may ask coach Carter, Oh, the real coach Carter Ken.

1471
01:10:57,280 --> 01:11:00,200
Speaker 4: Carter was a slam ball coach. I found out as

1472
01:11:00,240 --> 01:11:03,160
Speaker 4: I went along that he was considered the task master

1473
01:11:03,320 --> 01:11:06,519
Speaker 4: of coaches in slam ball, and no spoilers, but he

1474
01:11:06,640 --> 01:11:10,479
Speaker 4: was ultimately a very successful slam ball coach. Did any

1475
01:11:10,520 --> 01:11:13,839
Speaker 4: of you ever watch slamball? Its style of play weirdly

1476
01:11:13,840 --> 01:11:16,960
Speaker 4: fits better now than it did in two thousand and two. Wow,

1477
01:11:17,000 --> 01:11:19,439
Speaker 4: that's when it was around A long time ago. Andrew

1478
01:11:19,920 --> 01:11:22,599
Speaker 4: Mowbray with that email, Thank you, Andrew.

1479
01:11:23,000 --> 01:11:26,559
Speaker 1: I loved slamball legit the first time it came around.

1480
01:11:26,760 --> 01:11:28,479
Speaker 1: And for those of you that have no idea what

1481
01:11:28,479 --> 01:11:30,599
Speaker 1: we're talking about, because maybe you're a little younger, I mean,

1482
01:11:30,640 --> 01:11:34,519
Speaker 1: it was a form of basketball played with four like

1483
01:11:34,720 --> 01:11:38,800
Speaker 1: giant trampolines set up around each net, and they were

1484
01:11:38,800 --> 01:11:42,559
Speaker 1: like hockey boards like you're at a Toronto rock lacrosse

1485
01:11:43,680 --> 01:11:46,479
Speaker 1: around the court edge. And it was a contact sport.

1486
01:11:46,520 --> 01:11:49,839
Speaker 1: It was basketball, but like you know, encouraged rough physical

1487
01:11:49,880 --> 01:11:52,880
Speaker 1: play like football or ice hockey or whatever. I mean,

1488
01:11:52,960 --> 01:11:55,040
Speaker 1: there was a lot of collisions and these guys were

1489
01:11:56,000 --> 01:11:59,280
Speaker 1: they were wearing helmets, weren't they. Yeah, they were right yeah, yeah, yeah,

1490
01:11:59,280 --> 01:12:02,200
Speaker 1: And you know, so I loved it because here's what

1491
01:12:02,240 --> 01:12:05,519
Speaker 1: it was. In all honesty, it was like a real

1492
01:12:05,640 --> 01:12:09,120
Speaker 1: life version of NBA Jam, or as close as you

1493
01:12:09,160 --> 01:12:11,920
Speaker 1: can sort of get too, making NBA Jam for humans

1494
01:12:11,920 --> 01:12:15,160
Speaker 1: to play. And yeah, I remember watching those first couple

1495
01:12:15,160 --> 01:12:18,080
Speaker 1: of seasons, like he said, two two thousand and three,

1496
01:12:18,320 --> 01:12:22,080
Speaker 1: I think they were on Spike TV if I recall,

1497
01:12:22,240 --> 01:12:25,040
Speaker 1: and you only had a couple of teams. But I

1498
01:12:25,120 --> 01:12:26,920
Speaker 1: was a fan and it was fun as hell at

1499
01:12:26,920 --> 01:12:28,639
Speaker 1: the time, and I think it made like a little

1500
01:12:28,640 --> 01:12:31,800
Speaker 1: bit of a weird comeback later in the two thousands

1501
01:12:31,920 --> 01:12:34,040
Speaker 1: or you know, I didn't watch any of that. I

1502
01:12:34,080 --> 01:12:36,920
Speaker 1: remember Reggie THEUS was involved in it though early too.

1503
01:12:37,240 --> 01:12:39,479
Speaker 1: He was like a color commentator. Maybe he was the

1504
01:12:39,479 --> 01:12:42,040
Speaker 1: one dropping that Coach Carter fact on you. I'm not sure,

1505
01:12:42,040 --> 01:12:46,000
Speaker 1: but yeah, I was a big fan. Probably was I

1506
01:12:46,120 --> 01:12:50,200
Speaker 1: more of a Rumble fan or a Diablos fan. I

1507
01:12:50,240 --> 01:12:52,800
Speaker 1: think I was a Rumble fan now I think about it.

1508
01:12:52,800 --> 01:12:54,840
Speaker 1: So shout out to Coach Carter taking that team to

1509
01:12:54,880 --> 01:12:55,640
Speaker 1: that championship.

1510
01:12:55,680 --> 01:12:57,719
Speaker 6: I remember thinking it was going to take off because

1511
01:12:57,760 --> 01:13:00,960
Speaker 6: it had that connection to h NBA Jam, you know,

1512
01:13:01,000 --> 01:13:02,960
Speaker 6: and people are like, oh, man, that's what I want

1513
01:13:02,960 --> 01:13:04,880
Speaker 6: to do, go out there and play. But it never

1514
01:13:04,960 --> 01:13:07,120
Speaker 6: really did, which is odd. It sort of it did come,

1515
01:13:07,160 --> 01:13:09,880
Speaker 6: and I remember for about a year or so there

1516
01:13:10,000 --> 01:13:10,960
Speaker 6: people were talking about it.

1517
01:13:10,960 --> 01:13:12,280
Speaker 3: And then it just kind of just went away.

1518
01:13:12,320 --> 01:13:14,920
Speaker 6: People just like, Okay, it wasn't actually as exciting as

1519
01:13:14,920 --> 01:13:17,080
Speaker 6: we thought it was going to be. And yeah, I

1520
01:13:17,520 --> 01:13:19,280
Speaker 6: never got into it as much as you did there.

1521
01:13:19,320 --> 01:13:21,519
Speaker 6: But I remember like watching a few times and just

1522
01:13:21,520 --> 01:13:23,519
Speaker 6: thinking like, that looks so much fun to go out

1523
01:13:23,520 --> 01:13:26,600
Speaker 6: there and play you bad, Yeah.

1524
01:13:26,360 --> 01:13:31,160
Speaker 1: Because they usually amazing, like like face offs, do you

1525
01:13:31,160 --> 01:13:34,040
Speaker 1: remember those, like when fowls were cold and stuff like that.

1526
01:13:34,000 --> 01:13:37,720
Speaker 1: They like legit set up, you got one blocker, you

1527
01:13:37,840 --> 01:13:40,639
Speaker 1: got the one dunk a two guy and they jump

1528
01:13:40,680 --> 01:13:43,960
Speaker 1: off their trampalloons and like just destroy each other in

1529
01:13:43,960 --> 01:13:45,920
Speaker 1: the air and the one guy's trying to dunk on guy.

1530
01:13:46,479 --> 01:13:48,160
Speaker 1: I mean, it's like it was so much fun. I

1531
01:13:48,160 --> 01:13:50,519
Speaker 1: mean it was crazy. Yeah that these guys like didn't

1532
01:13:50,800 --> 01:13:53,800
Speaker 1: break their legs every game, but it's fun to watch.

1533
01:13:54,080 --> 01:13:54,240
Speaker 7: Yeah.

1534
01:13:54,240 --> 01:13:57,240
Speaker 2: I just imagine Pinball Clemons out there playing slambo. The

1535
01:13:57,240 --> 01:14:00,800
Speaker 2: guy would be dominant. I like to imagine Harder comes

1536
01:14:00,800 --> 01:14:03,160
Speaker 2: into his first slam ball practice. He's like, guys, this

1537
01:14:03,240 --> 01:14:05,519
