1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:07,600 Speaker 1: All right, this is the Doug Gottlieb Show. Heres in 2 00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:10,239 Speaker 1: the Bonus with Doug gottlie. 3 00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:13,800 Speaker 2: What Up, Doug Gottlieb Show at the Bonus Fox Sports Radio, 4 00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:19,280 Speaker 2: iHeartRadio app Welcome in. So last night we saw the 5 00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:23,960 Speaker 2: thunder take back on of control of the NBA Finals 6 00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:31,080 Speaker 2: winning Game five in Oklahoma City, holding Tyrese Haliburton without 7 00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:37,360 Speaker 2: a field goal. And we'll get into that sum in 8 00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:39,159 Speaker 2: the pod, but definitely got into that more in. 9 00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 3: The radio show. 10 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:44,160 Speaker 2: But I saw this story that Lebron James claims he'll 11 00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,600 Speaker 2: never coach in the NBA. So ye, obviously you have 12 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 2: Jason Kidd, Steve Kerr, We've seen Larry Bird coach, You've 13 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:56,040 Speaker 2: seen Isaiah Thomas coach, and obviously there's lots of people 14 00:00:56,080 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 2: who talk about his basketball mind. He's talked about his 15 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:06,039 Speaker 2: desire to own a Las Vegas expansion franchise. I don't 16 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,399 Speaker 2: I could be wrong. I don't see that being a likelihood. 17 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:14,399 Speaker 2: And the reason is because Lebron's rich. I think other 18 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:19,480 Speaker 2: people are wealthier. They just are and whoever gets in 19 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:23,400 Speaker 2: Vegas is going to be a multi multi, multi, multi 20 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:24,759 Speaker 2: billionaire ten times over. 21 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 3: I just don't see it being the Bron. 22 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 2: Could he be part of a group, Yeah, and maybe 23 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:32,679 Speaker 2: that gets it done, but he wouldn't be the only 24 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 2: NBA player. It's part of a group, and there will 25 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 2: be more groups than his. But I thought what was 26 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 2: interesting is he's like, I'm not never going to coach. 27 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,399 Speaker 2: So what does Lebron do when his career is over? 28 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 2: You do the podcast. Now, most people think ESPN wants 29 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 2: to have him, you know, on their coverage. Obviously that's 30 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 2: the only way they combat NBC having Michael Jordan. And 31 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 2: we don't know what Michael Jordan to do, and he 32 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 2: probably doesn't do very much, but Michael Jordan being part 33 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 2: of NBC's coverage, you probably got to go to Lebron 34 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 2: if you're a ESPN and they've positioned themselves for the 35 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:09,080 Speaker 2: most part, especially posts Skip Bayless as a pro Lebron network. 36 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 2: My best guess is he's doing the podcast because then 37 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 2: he can do a podcast and be a Peyton Manny 38 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 2: where he can. I don't have to leave my home. 39 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 2: I can pick how I want to do things. I 40 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 2: can pick where I want to do things. And I'm 41 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 2: never going to come into New Yorker, Connecticut unless i 42 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:32,640 Speaker 2: want to it for big events. Some guys, you would say, 43 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 2: when they get done, they really just want to kind 44 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 2: of disappear and go fishing. Lebron James has never done 45 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 2: anything to disappear. He's the same guy who dunked in 46 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:43,800 Speaker 2: layup lines at his son's AAU game. 47 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 3: Right. 48 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 2: He makes it about him no matter where he goes, 49 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,359 Speaker 2: and he's had enough success where it's going to be 50 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 2: about him wherever he goes. So my guess is that 51 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 2: a guy who loves and lives on that much attention 52 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 2: never wants that attention to stop. And so the only 53 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 2: way to get that attention is not to be an 54 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 2: owner instead, and not to be a coach instead. It 55 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 2: is to be a commentator, but in a controlled environment, 56 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 2: and that's where you do it. Like Peyton Manny said it, 57 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:10,640 Speaker 2: that's my best guys. 58 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,959 Speaker 1: Be sure to catch live editions of The Doug Gottlieb 59 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 1: Show weekday.

Every day? 64 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 2: En that I got Liab showing the most podcast you 65 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:30,799 Speaker 2: play for your portion of a previous show on Fox 66 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 2: Sports radio where Fox Sports one. This is from First 67 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 2: Things First. Chris Broussard said this about the Houston Rockets. 68 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 4: You mentioned Durant's injury. 69 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,119 Speaker 3: We know it will be thirty seven soon. 70 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 4: He's only played sixty five or more games once in 71 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 4: the last five seasons one time, so that's how injury 72 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 4: prone he is. If I'm Houston and I've been talking, 73 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 4: I've talked to people around the lead to say Milwaukee 74 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 4: or Yannis is gonna give Milwaukee a chance, like he's 75 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 4: trying to get them. The better the team, maybe something 76 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 4: happens around the trade deadline if they're not playing well. 77 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 4: If I'm Houston, I'm waiting for Giannis. I'm waiting for Yannis, 78 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 4: and I think that would you know, you get Durant, 79 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:16,159 Speaker 4: You've improved, there's no doubt. But with Giannis's age and 80 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 4: Durant's age, I am waiting for him, and I look 81 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 4: Shingoon Reads Shepherd, Tory Evans, you know that Easton. I'm 82 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 4: sorry Easton and some draft picks. I mean, that's a 83 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:32,279 Speaker 4: good offer for Milwaukee. So if I'm Houston, I'm holding 84 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 4: off on it and waiting to see if I can 85 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 4: get Yannish. 86 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean again, the idea of waiting to get 87 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 2: Yanni's sounds great, okay, but there is a timeline of 88 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 2: deals that you have to make. And I think the 89 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 2: important thing for Houston is obviously they taking a massive 90 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,719 Speaker 2: step and they play for a coach that everybody thinks 91 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 2: she's a hell of a coach. But what are they 92 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,599 Speaker 2: willing to part with and how can they get there? 93 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 2: And I think by now you'll know can we get 94 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 2: into the Janna sweepstakes or do we make a move 95 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:10,159 Speaker 2: before that? Here's Jonas Knox and LeVar Arrington talking about 96 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 2: Jerry Jones and Michael Parsons in the contract negotiation. 97 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,160 Speaker 5: I don't think there's any question that the deal's going 98 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:17,360 Speaker 5: to get done this offseason. 99 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,559 Speaker 1: I just don't think Jerry Jones cares at all about 100 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 1: it taking longer and costing them more. 101 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 6: I don't think he cares. I really don't. 102 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 7: Yeah, I buy that. I buy that. At this point, 103 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 7: I think it's happened enough where that feeling of that 104 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 7: sense of drama, will it get done like it was 105 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 7: at the most craziest of a feverish pitch with Dak 106 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:51,040 Speaker 7: Prescott and the unthinkable happened like he got it damn 107 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 7: he got it everybody. I mean, I'll say unthinkable. Based 108 00:05:55,120 --> 00:06:00,159 Speaker 7: off of the conversations that were being had before he 109 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:04,039 Speaker 7: got his contract, people thought the number that he was 110 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 7: going for, what was it, like forty million at that point, Yeah, 111 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 7: I believe, yeah, like forty million a year, and people 112 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 7: were like, yeah, it's not going to happen. 113 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 3: Do I think my Comparsons gets his money? I do. 114 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 2: Do I think my Comparsons needs to grow up a 115 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 2: little bit? I do, right, just and far be it 116 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 2: from me to be a radio host and basketball coach 117 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:37,039 Speaker 2: to tell you that, you know, what you say in 118 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,799 Speaker 2: a podcast, what you say on radio can be a distraction. 119 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,480 Speaker 2: But again, the the difference here is he is a player. 120 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:50,479 Speaker 2: The difference here is that he it's not his main 121 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,599 Speaker 2: source of income. He doesn't need it, it's not who 122 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,159 Speaker 2: he is yet that world is always going to be 123 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 2: out there for But again, if you look at some 124 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 2: of the commentary, some of the topics that they choose 125 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 2: to go out. 126 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:05,159 Speaker 3: When you're doing a podcast, you can literally choose your topic. 127 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,600 Speaker 2: Now, maybe it's who's ever producing it and encouraging him 128 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 2: to do more NFL topics, but it does feel like 129 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 2: some of the off the field stuff can be a 130 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 2: bit of a distraction. I don't think it's what's hurt 131 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 2: the Cowboys, But again, cowboys noise is always louder than 132 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 2: anybody else's noise, and so Jerry can be really smart 133 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 2: about it. Do I think he wants Michael Parsons? 134 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 3: Of course? 135 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 2: Do I think Michael Parsons is as good a fit 136 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 2: for this defense as he was for the original defense 137 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 2: that he was brought into play with. 138 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 3: I do not. Is he gonna resign him? Of course 139 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 3: he is. 140 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 2: Does it matter timeline dead Jerry? I think last year 141 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 2: he felt rushed in the Dak Prescott thing. It felt 142 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 2: like they didn't have the they didn't want to sign 143 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 2: Dak before the year, and they end up kind of 144 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 2: rushing it and it's a lot more money to get it. 145 00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 3: Done than they wanted to. 146 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 2: As long as it's within the timeline of when Jerry 147 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 2: wants to do it, I think it gets done. Here's 148 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 2: Competitive Eating Icon Joey Chestnut talking with Covino and Rich. 149 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 6: It absolutely didn't and the way we wanted to or expected. 150 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 8: But uh, it's it's been a little bit of work, 151 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 8: but uh it's we Yeah, we we took some communicating. 152 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 9: Uh. 153 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 8: And last year communication broke down and we all kind 154 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 8: of good things don't happen when you're not talking.

So 200 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 9: he's referring to the story that I covered on the 201 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:52,440 Speaker 9: pod and the radio show yesterday about the Latina singer 202 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 9: who chose to sing the Star Sangle banner in Spanish 203 00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 9: despite the Dodgers saying please sing it in English. Hey idiot, 204 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:09,440 Speaker 9: freedom of speech, look it up, Okay, John Bot Giants. 205 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,040 Speaker 9: I'm glad you asked me this because I actually majored 206 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 9: in broadcast journalism and I take a keen interest in 207 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 9: freedom of speech and freedom of the press. I take 208 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 9: a keen interest in how things are covered. I think 209 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:28,960 Speaker 9: politics have taken a massive downturn and how it's covered. 210 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 9: And that's fine, But John Bot Giants, I just need 211 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 9: to take this second to educate you and then the 212 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,720 Speaker 9: rest of the listeners about what freedom of speech means. 213 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 9: You have a birthright to freedom of speech. In other words, 214 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 9: if you're born in this country, you have the right 215 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 9: to say whatever you want, wherever, whenever. And don't give me. 216 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:51,839 Speaker 6: The no you can't. You have fire in a theater. 217 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,960 Speaker 9: No, no, no, Actually, two thirds of the reasons you 218 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 9: would utter fire at a theater are legal. If there's 219 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 9: a fire in a theater, you could yell fire in 220 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,840 Speaker 9: a theater. If you have a suspicion that there is 221 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 9: fire in a theater, you could yell fire in a theater. 222 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:09,840 Speaker 9: The only time it's illegal is that if you're doing 223 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 9: it to arouse a stampede chaos. But anyways, John Boat giants, 224 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 9: she has the freedom of speech. She could do whatever 225 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 9: she wants in that moment to protest. The Dodgers have 226 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 9: not said a word about this other than one thing. 227 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:33,440 Speaker 9: She's welcome back to the stadium and she's not banned. So, 228 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 9: in other words, she received zero persecution for her freedom 229 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:42,080 Speaker 9: of speech. She was not arrested, She's not going to 230 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 9: be prosecuted. She has probably received nothing but love from 231 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 9: her inner circle vacuum of liberals. So I don't think 232 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 9: the freedom of speech saying applies at all. John Boat's giants. 233 00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:00,360 Speaker 9: One thing freedom of speech doesn't protect you from is 234 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 9: being an asshole. You could be an asshole and exercise 235 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 9: your freedom of speech. So if you're going to be 236 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 9: an asshole, that means people could actually call you out 237 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,320 Speaker 9: for being an asshole. She put the Dodgers in a 238 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 9: horrible position. The same organization that gave her the platform 239 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 9: and the opportunity to sing that song, she shit on them. 240 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 9: That's what my problem was with her. Had nothing to 241 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:27,959 Speaker 9: do with freedom of speech, Doug. 242 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:33,600 Speaker 2: I think the biggest issue with freedom of speech is 243 00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 2: that people do not understand what it means. And I 244 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 2: think you lined it out pretty well. I'll give a 245 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 2: shorter version. You're free to say what you want, You're 246 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 2: not free from repercussions with that speech, you know, And 247 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:49,080 Speaker 2: really it's again, it's a lot like the right to 248 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 2: bear arms. You have the right to protect you against 249 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 2: the tyrannical government. That's what's speaking out against. For example, 250 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:57,839 Speaker 2: if you don't like how President Trump is handling the 251 00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 2: Iran is really conflict or the Ukrainian Russian you have 252 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:08,440 Speaker 2: the right to speak out not be arrested for saying, hey, 253 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 2: I don't agree with this, this is wrong. 254 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 3: But freedom of speech is not. You are and this 255 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:16,319 Speaker 3: is what I talked about. 256 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 2: You have the privilege of singing the national anthem at 257 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:22,520 Speaker 2: Dodger Stadium, and the team that granted you that privilege, 258 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 2: it's like, hey, you get sing a Nash anthem. We 259 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 2: want you to sing in English and you do you opposite, 260 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:29,560 Speaker 2: So you don't that that is not for That is 261 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 2: not protect that is not protected speech. That's when you 262 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 2: expose yourself of not really understanding the constitution. 263 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 3: So I'm with you. 264 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 9: So we didn't get to this yesterday because there was 265 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,720 Speaker 9: so much to get to. But I there has been 266 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:46,800 Speaker 9: an awful announcing piece written since you know, and awful 267 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 9: announcing is is you know, the go to source for 268 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 9: media information. Stephen A. Smith was playing Solitaire on Friday night. 269 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 9: For those that don't know, here's the quick story. He's 270 00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 9: playing Solitaire on his phone. How do we know this 271 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 9: because people were videotaping him playing Solitaire on his phone 272 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 9: while the game was going on. Stephen ad took to 273 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 9: Twitter when he saw that video and all the comments, 274 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 9: and he said, what do you say, Sam, something like 275 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:18,239 Speaker 9: I could multitask? 276 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 8: Yeah? 277 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,880 Speaker 5: He's like that, Yes, that is me, and in fact 278 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 5: I can multitask. 279 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,000 Speaker 6: And it was during a time out. 280 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 9: And then after that video surfaced and many video serviced 281 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 9: of him actually doing it, and they panned back in 282 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,760 Speaker 9: the video and the game is actually going on, Game 283 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 9: four of the NBA Finals. He's paid twenty million dollars 284 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 9: a year to talk about with authority the NBA, and 285 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 9: he's playing a game app on his phone during play. 286 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 9: So the annoying part to me is this, he saw 287 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:55,720 Speaker 9: what the reaction was and he thought that he could 288 00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,120 Speaker 9: send out a tweet to defend it, and to me, 289 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 9: it's like, in this day and age with social media, 290 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 9: you just kind of have to eat it. Bad optics 291 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,120 Speaker 9: should just have to eat and then maybe just correct 292 00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 9: things moving forward, as opposed to going on and making 293 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 9: it worse and lying and trying to defend yourself. You're distracted. 294 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 9: Stephen is distracted. Anyone who watches his platforms. He's doing 295 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 9: a political conversation with a political influencer every single night. 296 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 9: He's doing a lot of political content. He last week 297 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,480 Speaker 9: I was announced it.

And here's 301 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 9: here's the important thing. The eye test his on our 302 00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 9: content is suffering. He's he's not as good on NBA 303 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 9: as he once was, and that's the only thing that 304 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 9: should matter to him. The optics of that and Solitaire 305 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,920 Speaker 9: should be like awake call as opposed to I'm just 306 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 9: gonna defend this with a tweet and put a lie 307 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 9: in it. 308 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:08,760 Speaker 3: That's a lot. 309 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:13,760 Speaker 2: But I I completely agree with you. It's I it's 310 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,480 Speaker 2: bad optically, and then it becomes even worse when you 311 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:17,240 Speaker 2: put it in a tweet. 312 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:19,440 Speaker 3: What else? Hold on? 313 00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,840 Speaker 5: I'm annoyed just by the fact that there's this perceived 314 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 5: demand for Steven A. 315 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:24,439 Speaker 6: Smith. 316 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:26,920 Speaker 5: Why do we Why is he getting all these shows? 317 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,160 Speaker 5: Why is he everywhere?

They seem there 324 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 9: seems to be a thirst from the conservative postcast podcast 325 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:52,920 Speaker 9: group for him, and it's like surface level. He's a 326 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,919 Speaker 9: man of color who's got a lot of opinions that 327 00:17:56,200 --> 00:18:02,800 Speaker 9: disagree with Democrats. He calls himself a but he tends 328 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,440 Speaker 9: to contradict that and a lot of what he says 329 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:09,199 Speaker 9: on these podcasts, and I think that's probably the surface 330 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,200 Speaker 9: reason why there's thirst first even. 331 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:15,159 Speaker 2: Eh correct, I mean, look, you nailed it, Jason. I 332 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 2: also think the irony to it is this is this 333 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,920 Speaker 2: is my least favorite part of politics is where here's 334 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,720 Speaker 2: a guy who identifies himself as I've won. I don't 335 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:30,280 Speaker 2: I just the reason I don't do political commentary, like 336 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,919 Speaker 2: any sort of deep political commentaries. I just don't know 337 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 2: enough about it. I have opinions occasionally I'll share them. 338 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,159 Speaker 2: I know a lot more about, for example, Israel than 339 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 2: ninety five percent of the people who speak about it 340 00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 2: on radio and TV, having lived there, having been a 341 00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:49,400 Speaker 2: dual citizen, having spent time there. Okay, but I don't 342 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:52,160 Speaker 2: know everything about Israeli politics. I know that their politics 343 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:55,720 Speaker 2: are just as messy as ours, but I know a 344 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:59,080 Speaker 2: lot more about the situation than, like I said, ninety 345 00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:02,880 Speaker 2: five percent of the people. I think putting himself into 346 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,520 Speaker 2: the political field is a lot like when he puts 347 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:10,480 Speaker 2: himself into talking about the NFL, where knowing a little 348 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,159 Speaker 2: is not enough because you make yourself look like a 349 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 2: You can't fake it till you make it at that 350 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:20,080 Speaker 2: level when you're offering opinion, because there has to be 351 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:24,560 Speaker 2: some substance behind it to answer your question as to 352 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:25,919 Speaker 2: why there's a thirst for Steven A. 353 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:26,280 Speaker 3: Smith. 354 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:31,399 Speaker 2: Jason's right, and then again like he's the biggest known 355 00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:36,880 Speaker 2: black commentator, most known black commentator in the US. That's 356 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:40,400 Speaker 2: really what it comes down to, and everybody wants their 357 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:46,040 Speaker 2: show to include you know, Republicans can say like they 358 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 2: don't like DEI, which is sad and kind of comical, 359 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,920 Speaker 2: but a lot of it is because of what DEI became, 360 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,160 Speaker 2: not the original ideals of DEI. 361 00:19:59,040 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 3: I'm not scared of. 362 00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:03,920 Speaker 2: Like the world needed to be needs to be more diverse, 363 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,720 Speaker 2: right as opposed to just have it. On the other hand, 364 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 2: people need to be qualified, so we can't go all 365 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 2: the way on the other side of hey, people aren't qualified, 366 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 2: but there are plenty of qualified black people of color, women, 367 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:22,400 Speaker 2: and in a variety of of workplaces. But DEDI tried 368 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:30,000 Speaker 2: to kind of shortcut, if you will, and that's why 369 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:33,880 Speaker 2: there's such a pushback against it, which I understand. Again, 370 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,040 Speaker 2: all of these things, if you take they'll be like, oh, 371 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,320 Speaker 2: you kind of sound like a moderate. Yeah, I call 372 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:41,679 Speaker 2: myself a radical centrist. One of my issues with politics 373 00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:46,680 Speaker 2: is that there's the assumption that even Jason made, but 374 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:51,359 Speaker 2: the right especially makes, where hey, if you're a if 375 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,280 Speaker 2: you're a Democrat, you you can't then you have to 376 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:58,640 Speaker 2: agree with all these democratic, super progressive, super left ideals. 377 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 2: Like that's bullshit in and of itself. Not every Democrat 378 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 2: believes in d I never democrat believes that there shouldn't 379 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:09,159 Speaker 2: be a death pen on it. 380 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 3: Now. 381 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:13,160 Speaker 2: Ever, democrat believes in all of these different things that 382 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:17,639 Speaker 2: people say Democrats believe in. That's part of the agenda 383 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 2: that's pushed by the right to make the extreme left 384 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 2: seem like the moderate left. 385 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 3: It's not just like the. 386 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:29,439 Speaker 2: Left tries to tell you that the extreme right, you know, 387 00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:36,720 Speaker 2: that that's all Republicans. That's not true. But the answer, really, 388 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:40,679 Speaker 2: Sam is as easy as it seems, is that we 389 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:44,920 Speaker 2: just continue to not have enough people of color that 390 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:50,280 Speaker 2: have the credibility to be on radio shows or TV shows. 391 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:52,440 Speaker 2: And I don't know who deems them to be credible. 392 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:56,040 Speaker 2: But he's been in the media space long enough to 393 00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,800 Speaker 2: where people know him, so maybe he's more knowledgeable, or 394 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:02,560 Speaker 2: his name is he has name credibility or name recognition 395 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:08,000 Speaker 2: more so than credibility. But we're, you know, especially Republicans, 396 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,639 Speaker 2: are find me a black guy who can sort of 397 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 2: agree with us and put him on air. 398 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 3: That's what it feels like to me. 399 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 6: Isn't that Jason Whitlock's job? 400 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,119 Speaker 3: Uh? Yeah, now, Jason Witlock is. 401 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 2: But Jason Witlock is so disliked by many, and I 402 00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 2: think Steven as working his way there. The crazy part 403 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:33,159 Speaker 2: about it is Jason. 404 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,359 Speaker 3: Wentlock was a college twelve player, and I think a 405 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 3: pretty good one. Steven A. 406 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 2: Smith basically never played shit, and yet somehow steven A. 407 00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:45,400 Speaker 2: Smith has become more reputable than Jason Winlock, even though 408 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:49,360 Speaker 2: Jason Winlock has a better working knowledge of at least 409 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 2: football alone, you know, and I think if you have 410 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,480 Speaker 2: a good working knowledge of football, you can assimilate to 411 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,400 Speaker 2: understanding basketball more so than somebody who didn't never really 412 00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:03,680 Speaker 2: played even mind steven A went to Fashion school. He 413 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:10,880 Speaker 2: went to Fashion school, So yeah, I mean, I think 414 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 2: there's lots of. 415 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,919 Speaker 5: Didn't stephen A play have a cup of coffee with 416 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 5: college basketball at some point? 417 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:20,640 Speaker 2: Well, again, there's a The story is that he played 418 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:27,320 Speaker 2: at one of the HBCUs Winston Salem State University, which 419 00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:30,120 Speaker 2: was coached by Big House Games Clarence big House Gaines, 420 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 2: who is a legendary iconic figure. But again, the story 421 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:38,879 Speaker 2: doesn't really match up with anything you've been able to find, 422 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:44,240 Speaker 2: because he averaged what was it a point? Is it 423 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,240 Speaker 2: a point and a half a game or a minute 424 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 2: and a half a game or something like that. It 425 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 2: was like something some bizarre stat that doesn't make He 426 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 2: played in one game and he averaged a minute and 427 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,120 Speaker 2: a half a game that that doesn't make any sense. 428 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,840 Speaker 5: He was pulling the old Rudy just get in there, 429 00:23:57,960 --> 00:23:59,680 Speaker 5: get in there for a stat to be recorded. 430 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 3: I have no idea. 431 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,240 Speaker 2: But then he went on and became a reporter and 432 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,400 Speaker 2: a beat reporter, and then turned that in and beat 433 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:10,560 Speaker 2: opinioness like in many ways, it's a great American story, 434 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 2: right of a guy who finds an industry, gets in 435 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,960 Speaker 2: passionate about the industry, tremendous or raider. I never read 436 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:17,440 Speaker 2: his column, so I don't know if he's a good writer, 437 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:20,120 Speaker 2: but I assume because he's he's good with the word 438 00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:22,159 Speaker 2: that he's probably good as a writer as well. And 439 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 2: use that and got on TV. That's great how it 440 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:27,560 Speaker 2: bridged into hey, you should run for president and commenting 441 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:31,199 Speaker 2: on anything like, I don't know. I don't know no 442 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 2: idea other than people we need more black people on TV. 443 00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:37,920 Speaker 2: And he's the most known woman guy. 444 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:47,080 Speaker 9: I wanted to play this before we go. Raphael Devers 445 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:49,119 Speaker 9: was traded from the Red Sox. 446 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:51,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, we talked about this yesterday in the show. 447 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 9: And there's that whole story. So now they got to 448 00:24:54,840 --> 00:25:01,080 Speaker 9: the players, right, And what do they say? Players know players? Yes, 449 00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 9: In other words, you get inside those clubhouses, they know 450 00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:07,440 Speaker 9: the real story. So this is their all star. Jaron 451 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:14,440 Speaker 9: Duran having an exchange with the reporter about Raphael Devers, 452 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:16,679 Speaker 9: who is now a San Francisco Giant. 453 00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:19,080 Speaker 5: What was Alex's overall message to. 454 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:23,680 Speaker 10: You guys that he trusts everybody that we got right now? 455 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,720 Speaker 10: I mean, I trust everybody we have now, and we 456 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,440 Speaker 10: can't let one little thing deter what we got in common. 457 00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:31,720 Speaker 8: So far, it. 458 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:32,840 Speaker 9: Seems like more than one little thing. 459 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 5: It seems like it's one thing for sure, but it 460 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:36,720 Speaker 5: seems kind of like a big thing to be honest. 461 00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:39,520 Speaker 3: Right, Who's making it a big thing? Though? I mean 462 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:43,160 Speaker 3: losing a great hitter, I mean yeah. 463 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:44,639 Speaker 10: I mean yeah, he's a great player. But at the 464 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:48,119 Speaker 10: end of the day, it's how many guys twenty six, 465 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 10: all right, and it's just one guy. So we got 466 00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:52,280 Speaker 10: twenty five other guys that were playing on the same 467 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 10: line to win those series, not just one. So I 468 00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:56,280 Speaker 10: think we got to think about it like that as a. 469 00:25:56,280 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 9: Team that was code for this. For everything RAPHAELO Devers 470 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,919 Speaker 9: offered as a player on the field, he was a 471 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 9: giant pain in the ass and very toxic in our clubhouse. 472 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:11,920 Speaker 9: And we could not be happier to see him gone. 473 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:18,919 Speaker 2: Yep, yep, or hey, you know, we want volunteers, not hostages. 474 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 2: You know, I don't care about how talented you are. 475 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 2: If you don't if you're not in on the team, 476 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:26,399 Speaker 2: if you're not in on working together, if you're not 477 00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:28,840 Speaker 2: in on you know, playing first base when you need 478 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,840 Speaker 2: a first baseman, then we can't really use you. 479 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:33,960 Speaker 3: I love it. 480 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:39,080 Speaker 9: So we got the people that don't know what the 481 00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:42,240 Speaker 9: freedom of speech is, and then we got Steven A's 482 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:47,400 Speaker 9: political aspirations. Yes, and I just think Devers is annoying 483 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:47,920 Speaker 9: in general. 484 00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:50,639 Speaker 3: Uh, I'm going to. 485 00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:56,400 Speaker 2: Go with people who don't know what the First Amendment is. Yeah, 486 00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:57,440 Speaker 2: that's that's annoyed. 487 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:06,920 Speaker 1: Why are we doing this because we can? 488 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:12,440 Speaker 9: I think I think Michael Beasley may have challenged Carmelo 489 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,400 Speaker 9: Anthony to one on one. There's this weird thing going 490 00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:18,440 Speaker 9: on with one on one and former players. I don't 491 00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:21,600 Speaker 9: think there's anything less interesting than watching or playing in 492 00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:24,720 Speaker 9: a one on one game. But I guess Michael Beasley 493 00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:26,800 Speaker 9: beat somebody recently in it was a big deal. I 494 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 9: don't know Anyways, he challenged Carmelo Anthony and this was 495 00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:30,840 Speaker 9: Carmelo's response. 496 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:38,160 Speaker 11: But I'm saying, I want this guy, let me get 497 00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:43,320 Speaker 11: let me clear this up. Clear, but let me clear 498 00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:45,639 Speaker 11: this up. Please, you need this. Let me clear this up. 499 00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:51,040 Speaker 11: I'm not losing a one on one game, bro, I'm 500 00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:53,840 Speaker 11: not stay at that ship. I've never I've never lost 501 00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:55,480 Speaker 11: a one on one game. I'm not saying that I'm 502 00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:58,480 Speaker 11: going out there playing. What I'm saying is I done. 503 00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:00,840 Speaker 11: Did this one of the ship? I got for doing 504 00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:04,040 Speaker 11: this shit at the highest level, for being a one 505 00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:04,680 Speaker 11: on one. 506 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:11,240 Speaker 3: So good? Yeah. I mean. 507 00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:16,960 Speaker 2: Michael Beasley. I there's this weird thing where people act 508 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:18,720 Speaker 2: like Michael Beasley is the perfect example we were just 509 00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:23,560 Speaker 2: talking about with Rafael Devers, right, is that a game 510 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,879 Speaker 2: of one on one? He was great, He's probably as 511 00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:30,040 Speaker 2: good as anybody in the NBA, But in a basketball game, 512 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:34,679 Speaker 2: he couldn't couldn't play, can't guard, won't do it. You know, 513 00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:37,719 Speaker 2: you have to be defensive rotations, struggles to move the ball, 514 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:39,560 Speaker 2: struggles to be a good teamate, struggles to get along 515 00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:42,480 Speaker 2: with coaching, and when you give him all that money, 516 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:47,720 Speaker 2: struggles in terms of making sure his life is in order, right, 517 00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:53,880 Speaker 2: uh And and I'm not sitting there saying like he's 518 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:58,200 Speaker 2: a bad person. I'm saying that despite all of his 519 00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:03,240 Speaker 2: immense talents, tell me one thing he did to help 520 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:06,320 Speaker 2: a team win in the NBA. You can't find it. 521 00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:11,000 Speaker 2: You can't fucking waste of space. He's one of those 522 00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:13,800 Speaker 2: guys that could score a ton of points. You wouldn't 523 00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,960 Speaker 2: win because of it. He wouldn't win because of it. 524 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:21,360 Speaker 2: So anyway, now kind of post NBA career, post professional career, 525 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:24,280 Speaker 2: like ah Michael Beazy was a bucket. He was a bucket, 526 00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:27,200 Speaker 2: but he gave up more than he got. So it's 527 00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:30,320 Speaker 2: so now he's gonna challenge Kamel Anthony and Kamme Anthony 528 00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:34,360 Speaker 2: was a better version of that, right, Kammell Anthony scored 529 00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:36,920 Speaker 2: a lot, didn't help you win a lot. Was the 530 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,480 Speaker 2: best scorer in the league for a good five years, 531 00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:40,720 Speaker 2: three level score. 532 00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 3: But then late in his career he fell out of 533 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:44,000 Speaker 3: the league. 534 00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:46,320 Speaker 2: And it wasn't until he kind of remade his image, 535 00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:49,000 Speaker 2: remade his game and just spaced and played off the 536 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:50,920 Speaker 2: ball and played as a three point shooter that he 537 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:54,080 Speaker 2: was able to get back into the league. So I 538 00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,360 Speaker 2: don't know the one on one thing is just sounds 539 00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:59,920 Speaker 2: like the big brother who knows that little brother's better 540 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 2: than him, but the only thing he can do is 541 00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:04,040 Speaker 2: play one on one and back you down and just 542 00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 2: be bigger and stronger and debo you. 543 00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:07,680 Speaker 3: And that has no appeal to me. 544 00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:10,760 Speaker 2: Why do we play for you because we can't. That's 545 00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:12,280 Speaker 2: it for the end the Bonus Podcast.
