Next thing I 101 00:04:58,279 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 2: wanted to ask you, is this you believe in the 102 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 2: at first sight? 103 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,919 Speaker 3: Oh you do? Okay? 104 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,480 Speaker 2: Do you believe though, that all love is that way? 105 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,599 Speaker 2: In other words, have you ever experienced the whole thing? 106 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 2: And this doesn't even just need to be loved? This 107 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 2: could be friendship. You have anybody in your life that 108 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,720 Speaker 2: when you first met him, you're like, eh, but then 109 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 2: it all grew on you and you started to see 110 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 2: that person in a completely different light, of course, and 111 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 2: yet right like that, So the opposite just happened to 112 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 2: Luka Doncic. Anybody catch that? I wonder if anybody caught that. 113 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,280 Speaker 2: It's not that everybody was in love with him two 114 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,919 Speaker 2: weeks ago. He's been a frustrating player to watch for 115 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:42,239 Speaker 2: a while now for certain NBA fans. But we talked 116 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 2: about this last week and it fascinates the hell out 117 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 2: of me. This guy went from apparently the top scorer 118 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:54,360 Speaker 2: on the best backcourt in the history of the sport 119 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 2: of basketball and three games later, Luka Doncic was somebody 120 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 2: who needed to change the way he plays basketball or 121 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 2: else he's never going to win. And his own organization 122 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 2: has been on their knees begging him to change for 123 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:09,480 Speaker 2: two years. 124 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:16,719 Speaker 3: Now what a week? Wow, that was quick. 125 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 6: Yeah, Look, man, Luca is a sensational talent. There's not 126 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 6: much he can't do with the basketball in his hand. 127 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 6: He's been like that since he was a teenager. Now 128 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,159 Speaker 6: when you get to the NBA and he's been in 129 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,840 Speaker 6: the league, this is what six years now, five years, 130 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:46,480 Speaker 6: he's been impressive. But when it comes to being a champion, 131 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 6: when it comes to being that guy on a championship team, 132 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:56,040 Speaker 6: he's twenty five years old. He doesn't know what that 133 00:06:56,240 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 6: is yet. He doesn't know. And some of the greatest 134 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 6: basketball players in the history of the league, including the 135 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 6: greatest to ever play, didn't learn that too much later 136 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 6: in their career. And we're at one of those time 137 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 6: times for him in terms of what he's going to 138 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 6: do and who he's going to be moving forward in 139 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 6: the NBA. The crying, the whining, the stop it's not 140 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 6: even about that. If he was whining to the referees 141 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 6: and he was sprinting back to get on defense, be 142 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 6: a completely different situation. 143 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 3: When you do that. 144 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 6: Let's just say, on average, if you do that twelve 145 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 6: times a game, right, and that's a light light average. 146 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 6: If you did that twelve times a game, that means 147 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 6: there are twelve times in an NBA basketball game where 148 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 6: your team is playing four on five. 149 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 3: Think about it that way. 150 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 6: You've given the opponent and advantage twelve times in a game. 151 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 6: Now say they scored on half of those times, right. 152 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 5: That's twelve to fifteen points. 153 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 3: Twelve to fifteen points every game. It's a lot. 154 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 6: So now when you break it down in that context, 155 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,080 Speaker 6: and I don't know if anyone has done that for him, 156 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,679 Speaker 6: but when you look at it like that, you can't 157 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:45,680 Speaker 6: help but be like, oh, snap, oh, I'm giving up 158 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:49,599 Speaker 6: fifteen points because I feel a certain way about a 159 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 6: lack of a call, and I want to voice my opinion. 160 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 6: Fifteen points is a huge amount of points to give up. 161 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 3: Just on effort. 162 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 6: And I think once he understands that, once someone really 163 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 6: sits and down and it happens in spurts, right, Because 164 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 6: last series, it was like he played two games where 165 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,319 Speaker 6: he didn't really say anything to the ref. They won 166 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 6: those games, and he was just a different person, a 167 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:24,320 Speaker 6: different player. His energy, this pass game was different. So 168 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:28,599 Speaker 6: if he can consistently be that and that guy offensively 169 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,320 Speaker 6: with the ball, then that's when you start creeping up 170 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 6: into the conversations of one of the greats. And he's 171 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,560 Speaker 6: still young, and he has time to learn that, he 172 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:42,679 Speaker 6: has time to understand what that means, change his approach 173 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:46,680 Speaker 6: to the game, and finish the you know, the mid 174 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 6: to the back half of his career on a completely 175 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 6: another level. 176 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 3: Because well, offensively, you can't stop him. 177 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 5: No, I agree with everything that you just said. 178 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 2: The other thing, though, is sometimes even when he is 179 00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,959 Speaker 2: back on defense, is still playing four on five boss 180 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 2: and has absolutely cooked him specifically on the defensive end 181 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 2: in this series. They're gonna target him again tomorrow night. 182 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 2: This thing's gonna end tomorrow night. Boston will be the 183 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:17,560 Speaker 2: champions tomorrow night. I'm very, very very confident in that. 184 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,000 Speaker 2: And I think Luca's at a fork in the road. 185 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 2: And this is one thing, this is why that whole 186 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 2: like best backcourt in history. 187 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 3: Was just stupid. It was a ridiculous take from the 188 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:32,840 Speaker 3: beginning because well, right, because Luca, Luca's at a fork 189 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 3: in the road. 190 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 2: And here's what I mean by that, I'm always eyes open. 191 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,680 Speaker 5: The first thing you see when a player. 192 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,679 Speaker 2: Either comes out of college, comes from overseas, whatever, you 193 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:46,839 Speaker 2: can see it where you're like, oh, that's talent, that's talent. 194 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,320 Speaker 2: And this is the first thing you said. Luca is 195 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 2: a generational talent. But then there's the next step in 196 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:59,680 Speaker 2: the NBA, because there's all kinds of talented players who 197 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 2: have never been a part of winning. Like Bradley Beal 198 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 2: is an incredible talent with a basketball in his hands. 199 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,679 Speaker 3: There are players like that all over. 200 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 2: James Harden is a generational talent with the basketball in 201 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:24,320 Speaker 2: his hands. That's who rises to like Level A in 202 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 2: the NBA, but who rides to level A plus. It's 203 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 2: those who can then take that talent and have it 204 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 2: affect winning, have it work within a winning concept, have 205 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 2: it work on both ends of the floor, have it 206 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:46,080 Speaker 2: bleed out to his teammates, Magic Johnson. That's when you 207 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 2: go from a great talent to just a great period. Yes, 208 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 2: and I think Luca needs to He needs to decide that. 209 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 2: He needs almost decide that. Because he could do it 210 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 2: and they've already got to the finals. That's great, but 211 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 2: he needs to decide that and and and become a 212 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 2: more well rounded player. 213 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's he's right on that cusp. Right. 214 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 6: He's been in the league a long time. People know 215 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 6: he's dynamic. I still would like him to really get 216 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 6: in basketball shape and it you know, it's it's going 217 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 6: to be up to Jkid and and the organization to 218 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 6: really having Kyrie there as taking his usage, uh, you know, 219 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 6: down considerably, which I think is important. When you exert 220 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:42,320 Speaker 6: that much energy for the entire game, you can't help 221 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,320 Speaker 6: but run into a wall. Like playing this late in 222 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,680 Speaker 6: the year. Most of these guys on that team aren't 223 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 6: used to playing this long. 224 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:53,440 Speaker 3: Now. 225 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 6: Boston is because the last five years they've been teetering 226 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 6: around the conference championships and around the NBA Finals, so 227 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:07,720 Speaker 6: they're used to playing this long. I think that was 228 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 6: a situation when you had Minnesota, right, they ran out again, Like, 229 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 6: guys aren't used to playing this deep into the summer. 230 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 3: It's mid June. 231 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 6: Most guys have been back from vacation and you know, 232 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 6: getting ready to go to summer league and and watch 233 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 6: the young guys play. These guys are still playing basketball, 234 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:34,319 Speaker 6: and I think for Dallas, I think this is for 235 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:39,600 Speaker 6: Luca especially Kyrie's been there a champion, of course, but 236 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 6: when you look at the rest of the team, who 237 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 6: else has that level of experience and is played deep 238 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 6: into the summer like this? 239 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 3: Right? Right? Yeah? I mean I can't think of it 240 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:55,439 Speaker 3: right now. 241 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 2: So you know, this is this is going to be 242 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 2: something that I feel is going to be a big, 243 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 2: big part of the discussion going into the offseason. 244 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:07,839 Speaker 5: And then there's this. 245 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:12,080 Speaker 2: We can also continue the conversation that we had last week, 246 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:17,440 Speaker 2: which is how important is it whoever we name NBA 247 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 2: Finals MVP, because that's all up in the air. Although 248 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 2: the heavy favorite right now is not the guy who 249 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 2: was the heavy favorite at the start of the series, 250 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 2: So we'll get to that coming up next with e 251 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 2: from Salama Mark Willard. 252 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 3: This is Fox Sports Radio. 253 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 254 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 1: the nation.

That's the whole idea. 288 00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 2: We're in the tyraq dot com studios, Mark Wiardy from 289 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 2: salam Let's say Boston wins this tomorrow night. We don't 290 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 2: know what the stats will be, but who's your NBA 291 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 2: Finals MVP? 292 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:16,760 Speaker 3: Jalen Brown? 293 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, so current odds sit like this, Jalen Brown is 294 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 2: your runaway favorite at minus two thirty five. For those 295 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 2: of you who don't speak gambling, that means that you 296 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,080 Speaker 2: would need to bet two hundred thirty five dollars just 297 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 2: to win one hundred. However, Jason Tatum, the pre series favorite, 298 00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 2: has fallen two plus two fifty five. That means if 299 00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:48,840 Speaker 2: you bet one hundred on him, you'd win two hundred 300 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 2: and fifty five. Also known as ain't gonna happen. 301 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:58,560 Speaker 6: Not unless this thing goes seven and right and he 302 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 6: scores forty tomorrow in a close game that they lose 303 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:06,600 Speaker 6: in overtime. Right comes out in Game six, tight wire 304 00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:12,880 Speaker 6: to wire, he hits you know, a lead, taking three 305 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:17,639 Speaker 6: with six seconds left in the game, and then they 306 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,200 Speaker 6: come down and get a shot to win to take 307 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,200 Speaker 6: it to a game seven, and he also has thirty 308 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,840 Speaker 6: five points in that game, and then he closes out 309 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:29,200 Speaker 6: Game seven with a miraculous triple double twenty five, twelve, 310 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:34,080 Speaker 6: and fifteen. Then he is, you know, hands down the 311 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 6: MVP unless that happen. 312 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:42,639 Speaker 5: So let me rewrack my take. Not gonna happen. 313 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 3: So what's it all mean? 314 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:54,360 Speaker 2: This is not my favorite part of the NBA culture 315 00:17:55,200 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 2: where you can sort of be dismissed and ignored for 316 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,320 Speaker 2: what you do for nine months and if you don't 317 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 2: do the right thing at the right time at the 318 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:09,160 Speaker 2: very end, it means you're not a dog or whatever. 319 00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,560 Speaker 2: But we've watched this, and I've watched it where I 320 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:16,640 Speaker 2: live and the city and team that I follow. 321 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 3: In the Golden State Warriors. 322 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,480 Speaker 2: In that steph Curry, it took him until his fourth 323 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,960 Speaker 2: ring until he had won NBA Finals MVP. 324 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,520 Speaker 9: And yes it was a thing. It's a thing for 325 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:31,199 Speaker 9: some people, but look to your point. The caveat to 326 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:34,040 Speaker 9: that was he was already a two time MV League MVP. 327 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 3: Of the league, right, so it's not like he was 328 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:37,439 Speaker 3: struggling for credit. 329 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:39,679 Speaker 6: No, No, no, he was already considered one of the 330 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 6: greatest players on the planet for sure. He just couldn't 331 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:46,159 Speaker 6: close it in the big game. So that kept him 332 00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:47,280 Speaker 6: out of the conversation. 333 00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:49,680 Speaker 3: Well, when you look at all the. 334 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 6: Other greats right who won MVP, they also have won 335 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:59,080 Speaker 6: Finals MVP, And so that was his roadblock that he 336 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:00,120 Speaker 6: had to get over. 337 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,720 Speaker 2: Correct and it was something that a lot of people 338 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:08,240 Speaker 2: brought up as kind of the last thing that Steph 339 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,200 Speaker 2: didn't have in his career. And so you go back 340 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:15,200 Speaker 2: to actually two years ago plus a few days Game 341 00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:18,960 Speaker 2: four in Boston. Celtics lead that series two games to one, 342 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:22,119 Speaker 2: and Steph has an epic performance in a game that 343 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,720 Speaker 2: everyone felt the Warriors had to have on the road, 344 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 2: and they did, and that vaulted him to not only 345 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,240 Speaker 2: maybe the most unexpected of all of his rings, but 346 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:36,359 Speaker 2: his NBA Finals MVP, and that kind of like it 347 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,200 Speaker 2: completed the circle and the cycle. Now, Jason Tatum is 348 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,720 Speaker 2: still a very young player. There's a guy who's in 349 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:46,320 Speaker 2: his mid twenties, and Boston may well be back again 350 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:47,240 Speaker 2: and again and again. 351 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:49,400 Speaker 3: So this can go away as well. 352 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:51,760 Speaker 2: But what do you think right now in this moment, 353 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:55,119 Speaker 2: Let's say Jalen Brown gets the crown tomorrow night. 354 00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:56,120 Speaker 3: What's it mean to you? 355 00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 6: It means that, you know, the Celtics well earned championship, 356 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,359 Speaker 6: best team in the league, especially in the East, the 357 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 6: entire year start to finish. They finally made the moves 358 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 6: to get better. I didn't think I thought two years 359 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 6: ago that finals against Golden State, I thought that was 360 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,679 Speaker 6: the best team that they can put together with Marcus Smart, 361 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:27,640 Speaker 6: both of the Williams boys, Jalen and Tatum, well, they 362 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:29,679 Speaker 6: proved me and a lot of other people wrong. They 363 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:34,840 Speaker 6: made some adjustments, brought in Porzingis, even though he's not 364 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:38,639 Speaker 6: healthy through this finals. That first those first two games, 365 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:43,160 Speaker 6: he gave them a huge boost. I think bringing in 366 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:49,200 Speaker 6: Holiday and Derek White, tremendous defenders on the wing, big 367 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,600 Speaker 6: shot makers. It just made the team better, took the 368 00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:58,639 Speaker 6: pressure off the two stars. And what it means for 369 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:04,919 Speaker 6: Jay Jason Tatum is he's a good player. He's just 370 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:10,359 Speaker 6: perhaps maybe not the best player on that team now, 371 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 6: which is okay unless that's what you want him to be, 372 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 6: unless you need him to be the best player on 373 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:24,080 Speaker 6: the team now. Does he have the most skill and 374 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:29,200 Speaker 6: the biggest upside? I would say yes, but in terms 375 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:33,439 Speaker 6: of big moments that we've seen throughout the years, Jalen 376 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 6: Brown has always been ready to step in those moments, 377 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 6: mainly because none of the shine is ever on him. 378 00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,240 Speaker 5: Well, it's also fascinating. 379 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:49,119 Speaker 2: Don't forget where we were with Jalen Brown a year ago. 380 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,080 Speaker 3: A year ago, and if you. 381 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,840 Speaker 2: Actually want to add a few more months on, go 382 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 2: back a year and a few months. 383 00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 3: Jalen Brown was in trade rumors. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yep. 384 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,720 Speaker 2: The Boston fan base was living at the idea that 385 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:04,919 Speaker 2: this guy was going to get. 386 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,680 Speaker 3: Another bag, and and and and. 387 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,399 Speaker 2: My gosh, you can't tie all that up into Tatum 388 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 2: and Brown and it's clearly not working. The Warriors beat him, 389 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,399 Speaker 2: and then that series loss to the Heat, and it 390 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 2: was like, remember, we need to reshuffle this deck. Yes 391 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 2: we did, and and and to a degree they did. 392 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 3: I understand the acquisitions that they they they put together 393 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,280 Speaker 3: to add two those two, but the thought at the 394 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,920 Speaker 3: time was these two need to break up. 395 00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,960 Speaker 2: These two need to break up. It's another exercise in 396 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 2: sports patients. We're terrible at it. We're awful at it. 397 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,400 Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, but we've been patient for about six years. 398 00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 2: I get it, but there's still young players eight neither 399 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:47,439 Speaker 2: one of them. Yeah, neither one of them has had 400 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 2: a twenty seventh birthday. 401 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:54,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sorry. So no, no, I'm jump No, do it? 402 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:54,959 Speaker 3: Do it? No. 403 00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,480 Speaker 6: We we live in in an in an age of 404 00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:01,919 Speaker 6: instant gratification. So as fans, we want our teams to 405 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:06,200 Speaker 6: do it now, do it now, make it happen. We 406 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 6: need it, And it's not like that, right, It's going 407 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,840 Speaker 6: to take time. I think that's why the Laker job 408 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:18,480 Speaker 6: is so difficult to take because they don't have a 409 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:22,240 Speaker 6: championship team. Now you have one of the greatest players 410 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:26,640 Speaker 6: on his way out and you don't have enough pieces 411 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:30,959 Speaker 6: to create enough punch. So taking that job with the 412 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:37,320 Speaker 6: expectation of championship or bus, there's very little room for error. 413 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:41,960 Speaker 6: And as we've seen, they don't give you a lot 414 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:46,439 Speaker 6: of runway to take off. Oh no, especially if you 415 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 6: have to use your only draft pick on a kid 416 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,639 Speaker 6: who may not be ready to be in the NBA. 417 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,879 Speaker 6: But you're gonna give them a chance because of course, 418 00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:57,720 Speaker 6: you know, Lebron is there. 419 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,360 Speaker 2: I mean, we're going to get to your Laker job. 420 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 2: Don't you worry, because I know you predicted it right 421 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 2: here on this show. We could go and I agreed 422 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:09,359 Speaker 2: with you. I'm like Dan, Dan's not taking the job, 423 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:11,879 Speaker 2: and or it didn't feel like it based on the 424 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 2: interview that he had granted ESPN and the very next 425 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,359 Speaker 2: day he did not. So where are we now? Is 426 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:20,440 Speaker 2: it back to JJ Reddick? We got to talk about 427 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:24,200 Speaker 2: the whole thing. But but first, yes, but first, when 428 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:28,360 Speaker 2: you talk about providing runway for someone, the Lakers may 429 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,480 Speaker 2: not do it, but damn it we will because here 430 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,120 Speaker 2: comes Steve de Seger to land. 431 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 3: Take off, this play takeoff. 432 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 10: Good evening, gentlemen. As you mentioned, by the way, Dan 433 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:43,399 Speaker 10: Hurley's Connecticut team, and you mentioned the NBA Finals, the 434 00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,440 Speaker 10: TV ratings so far as the Celtics lead three games 435 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:49,040 Speaker 10: to one against Dallas. There hasn't been a game four number, 436 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,920 Speaker 10: but Game three of this series averaged eleven point four 437 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 10: million TV viewers. Before that it was twelve million TV viewers, 438 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,920 Speaker 10: and the opener was eleven million TV viewers for game 439 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:02,640 Speaker 10: one by Harrison. Yukon's final four games this year average 440 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 10: fourteen and a half million viewers, and those college games 441 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:09,560 Speaker 10: were only on cable. This year's NBA playoff ratings going 442 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:14,480 Speaker 10: into the finals were down thirteen percent. NBA Finals continue Monday. Boston, 443 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:17,040 Speaker 10: up three games to one, will host Dallas. If there's 444 00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:20,080 Speaker 10: a Game six, it will be at Dallas on Thursday night. 445 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 10: No NBA team has ever blown a three games to 446 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,479 Speaker 10: none lead to lose a series in any round. This 447 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,800 Speaker 10: Boston team had won ten in a row until losing 448 00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:32,639 Speaker 10: last game by thirty eight points. So still, no NBA 449 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 10: team has ever gone through the final two rounds without 450 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:37,560 Speaker 10: a loss. But if you go up two to ozho 451 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:41,080 Speaker 10: in the finals, you're usually crown champion. Thirty one of 452 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:43,240 Speaker 10: the thirty six that have gone up two games to 453 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:46,560 Speaker 10: none wind up winning the title. Golden State notably blew 454 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:50,199 Speaker 10: a lead in twenty sixteen. Ueves and Phoenix was up 455 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,639 Speaker 10: two oh and never won another game in the finals 456 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:56,080 Speaker 10: just three short years ago.

There is no official word on 484 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,520 Speaker 10: how many weeks last months he'll be out, but he'll 485 00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:32,600 Speaker 10: be obviously seeing a specialist tomorrow now.

So of 502 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:39,920 Speaker 10: course the US Open champ is going to represent the 503 00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:43,880 Speaker 10: US and the Olympics this summer. Right, Oh, the guy 504 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:46,840 Speaker 10: that won the US Open is with Live Golf. We 505 00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:51,120 Speaker 10: are sorry about that. In fact, NBC talked about this yesterday. 506 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:52,880 Speaker 10: This was about twenty thirty seconds. 507 00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,560 Speaker 3: He should be representing the US. It's just part of 508 00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 3: what's wrong with a sport right now. 509 00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:01,240 Speaker 6: Everything that's happened with the sport, there are consequences that 510 00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:02,720 Speaker 6: are hurting. 511 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:03,960 Speaker 3: The game, and that's another one of them. 512 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,600 Speaker 11: Yeah, that's unfortunate for sure of mind, and I would 513 00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:09,120 Speaker 11: agree it is unfortunate that all of the players that 514 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:12,360 Speaker 11: went to Live they well knew they were going to 515 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:15,880 Speaker 11: a tour that did not qualify for world ranking points. 516 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:19,720 Speaker 11: They've made no concessions to gain those points by altering 517 00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,160 Speaker 11: their format in such a way that they could. 518 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:27,000 Speaker 10: So the US Open champ is not representing the US 519 00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:28,320 Speaker 10: at the Olympics. 520 00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:34,600 Speaker 2: Back to you, perfect, absolutely perfect, because that's how everything 521 00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:38,440 Speaker 2: is in golf right now. And by the way, as 522 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:40,719 Speaker 2: much fun as the three of us have had talking 523 00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:44,840 Speaker 2: about golf leader boards and money for the last year 524 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:49,920 Speaker 2: or so, the two million bucks obviously won't even resonate 525 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:55,720 Speaker 2: in Rory's bank account. But good god, it's been ten 526 00:29:55,800 --> 00:30:00,160 Speaker 2: years since his last Major man and to miss this 527 00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:04,760 Speaker 2: opportunity today. For people that don't know, he was eight 528 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:10,120 Speaker 2: under par on the fifteenth T and lost in regulation 529 00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:14,040 Speaker 2: to somebody who was only minus six. And those two 530 00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:17,400 Speaker 2: short putts you talked about were both inside of three feet. 531 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,800 Speaker 10: And this is the US opened, so very few were 532 00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:23,800 Speaker 10: even under par, even one under par. Of the seventy 533 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:26,920 Speaker 10: four golfers this weekend, only eight guys were under par. 534 00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:30,080 Speaker 10: You mentioned at one point he was eight under. 535 00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:36,000 Speaker 3: With three holes to play, yo yo, or with four 536 00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:36,560 Speaker 3: holes to play. 537 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:39,400 Speaker 2: I guess fifteenth T he was eight under par and 538 00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:42,120 Speaker 2: lost to someone who finished at six under par. But 539 00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:45,080 Speaker 2: I do give Bryson credit if anybody watched the way 540 00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:48,280 Speaker 2: this finished, that he ended up in all kinds of 541 00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:52,720 Speaker 2: trouble on eighteen and his san saved That bunker shot 542 00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:57,120 Speaker 2: on eighteen will go down as one of the great 543 00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:59,880 Speaker 2: shots in the history of Major Championship Golf. 544 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,000 Speaker 10: You know if he had blown this lead, Mark I 545 00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:05,480 Speaker 10: was thinking, because yesterday after the third round, Deshambo's agent 546 00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:08,840 Speaker 10: had an argument with a golf channel host, implying you 547 00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:12,240 Speaker 10: won't necessarily get an interview with my guy because you've 548 00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:15,000 Speaker 10: been airing so much negativity about him over Live Golf. 549 00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:16,280 Speaker 3: Out of these hats, how about that? 550 00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:19,040 Speaker 10: And here he's about to blow a three stroke lead 551 00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:22,560 Speaker 10: at the US Open. Two years ago, Bryson Deshambo signed 552 00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:26,560 Speaker 10: a nine figure contract with Livegolf, worth over one hundred 553 00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:29,000 Speaker 10: and twenty five million dollars, with a lot of it upfront. 554 00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:29,400 Speaker 3: He said. 555 00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,280 Speaker 10: He called it a business decision, part of the business. 556 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:33,720 Speaker 10: No Olympics for him this year. 557 00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:37,440 Speaker 6: Sorry, man, get your money, brother, Yeah yeah, like a 558 00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:38,600 Speaker 6: mere money. 559 00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:41,360 Speaker 2: It's kind of the way. I mean, boy, this isn't 560 00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:45,040 Speaker 2: This is a right turn. But I sort of feel 561 00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:51,400 Speaker 2: I feel more bad for football players and the lack 562 00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:56,800 Speaker 2: of guarantees and the CTE, Like I feel much worse 563 00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:02,600 Speaker 2: for players who played twenty years ago. I don't know 564 00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:05,800 Speaker 2: if you know anyone who played twenty years ago, Ephraim, 565 00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:09,200 Speaker 2: than I do for players now, because it's like you 566 00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:11,160 Speaker 2: signed up for this and it was all kind of 567 00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:13,960 Speaker 2: on the table when you signed up for this same 568 00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:17,320 Speaker 2: thing here, same thing here, Like you signed up for it, 569 00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:19,600 Speaker 2: you got your one hundred and twenty five million dollars 570 00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:22,640 Speaker 2: and you knew, you knew this was part of it. 571 00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:26,600 Speaker 6: I think I might know a guy who played twenty 572 00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:28,280 Speaker 6: years ago in the NFL. 573 00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:35,880 Speaker 2: I bet you know two guys. I know if you guys, yeah, 574 00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:37,840 Speaker 2: and I do. I feel worse for you, guys, because 575 00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:38,880 Speaker 2: nobody knew what that was. 576 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:40,400 Speaker 3: Nobody knew what it was. 577 00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:42,520 Speaker 2: Man, nobody knew what that was, and they would rub 578 00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:44,720 Speaker 2: dirt on it and and inject you or something. 579 00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:47,719 Speaker 3: I never missed a game or played missed the game. 580 00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:51,280 Speaker 6: Never, not one time was I ever taken out of 581 00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:53,560 Speaker 6: a game from a concussion. 582 00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:56,360 Speaker 5: And I bet you never had a concussion either. 583 00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:00,840 Speaker 6: Well, that's what they're the little fully that, the little 584 00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:05,600 Speaker 6: trash of a exam did they give you to try? 585 00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:08,640 Speaker 6: All that money they put aside for settlements for players, 586 00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:14,480 Speaker 6: you almost have to be comatoast to even qualify for that. 587 00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:18,200 Speaker 6: Which that's the biggest problem I have for it. Right, 588 00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:23,120 Speaker 6: if you've played this is for me, the baseline should 589 00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:29,320 Speaker 6: be if you've played in a hundred games and you 590 00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:31,640 Speaker 6: can go by positions or whatever that is, but if 591 00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:34,680 Speaker 6: you've played over one hundred games or one hundred games, 592 00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:38,520 Speaker 6: then you should be awarded a part of that settlement 593 00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:42,959 Speaker 6: because statistically it's virtually impossible. 594 00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:47,640 Speaker 9: And it's impossible, and I would argue especially at your position. 595 00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:49,920 Speaker 3: Come on, now, so when you start. 596 00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:52,160 Speaker 2: It right, you're not running over the middle and having 597 00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:53,400 Speaker 2: somebody take your head off. 598 00:33:53,440 --> 00:34:01,560 Speaker 6: Back offensive defensive lineman who played linebackers who've played one 599 00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:06,160 Speaker 6: hundred games, shit, automatically get a settlement, and based on 600 00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:10,479 Speaker 6: like a baseline settlement, I'm like four hundred grand, five 601 00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:14,759 Speaker 6: hundred grand period, and then based on the severe severity 602 00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:20,080 Speaker 6: of your cognitive decline, then you'll get more. But that 603 00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:24,200 Speaker 6: baseline cut the check for all those guys who played 604 00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:27,320 Speaker 6: one hundred or more games. And it's not like I've 605 00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:29,360 Speaker 6: paid it. I'm not at the like I didn't just 606 00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:31,240 Speaker 6: play one hundred and one. I'm not saying one hundred. 607 00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:35,000 Speaker 6: I'm saying a hundred because that's you know, we know 608 00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:39,480 Speaker 6: for a fact, Okay, like I'm at one point fifty 609 00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:47,120 Speaker 6: nine in my career, all right, So right, I'm just saying, 610 00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:50,680 Speaker 6: if they want to hoard the money, if they want 611 00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:53,319 Speaker 6: to just hoard the money and not pay anybody out. 612 00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:57,839 Speaker 6: Then start there, and then you can make adjustments as 613 00:34:57,880 --> 00:34:58,319 Speaker 6: you go. 614 00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:02,440 Speaker 2: I mean eighty games, that's what you guys.

And I do want to say, 656 00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:37,279 Speaker 3: because this is intricate, because this will just go down. 657 00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:40,879 Speaker 3: You missed two three footers. One of them was a salider, 658 00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:42,840 Speaker 3: it was a I mean. 659 00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:48,319 Speaker 2: It's hard, it's hard, but you're Rory McElroy, right, and 660 00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:54,080 Speaker 2: this is the USO.

This is not 663 00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:08,640 Speaker 2: like Greg Norman and Jean van Derveld, but this is 664 00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:13,720 Speaker 2: a stain. And the hardest part not that he's getting old, 665 00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:15,720 Speaker 2: but like again, it's been a minute. 666 00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:18,520 Speaker 3: It's been a minute since this guy's won a major. 667 00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:21,960 Speaker 2: And so there's been a lot of near misses, a 668 00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:24,520 Speaker 2: lot of top tens and a lot of top fives, 669 00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:26,720 Speaker 2: and he's the best player and all of these things. 670 00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:31,080 Speaker 2: And because he already has four majors on his resume, 671 00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:34,799 Speaker 2: nobody says much about it. But I think this might 672 00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:37,440 Speaker 2: bring up a little bit of a new dynamic in 673 00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:41,239 Speaker 2: the conversation about Roy McElroy because this is one that. 674 00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:43,560 Speaker 3: He let get away. 675 00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:48,440 Speaker 6: Well, it just goes to show you how great Phil 676 00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:53,920 Speaker 6: Mickelson and Tiger and Greg Norman and Arnold Palmer.

Right, So life's different. 726 00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:20,280 Speaker 2: It's completely out of our control. And one thing, Ephraim, 727 00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:20,960 Speaker 2: you'll love this. 728 00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:23,360 Speaker 3: I find a lot. 729 00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:26,480 Speaker 2: Of people of a certain age have a really hard 730 00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:34,960 Speaker 2: time with this idea messaging being sent over social media. 731 00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:37,359 Speaker 3: Oh boy, you'll hear it. 732 00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:41,160 Speaker 2: You can tell if someone's in their forties or fifties 733 00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:45,439 Speaker 2: or sixties or seventies, and they're like, that's how we're 734 00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:48,480 Speaker 2: communicating when we've got a problem. 735 00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:59,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, sorry. So for example, when Klay Thompson unfollows 736 00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:05,960 Speaker 3: the war year on Instagram and removes certain pictures that 737 00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:10,920 Speaker 3: show him in a warrior uniform winning championships. When he 738 00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:16,320 Speaker 3: does that, I will not listen to anyone who's like, well, 739 00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:20,759 Speaker 3: that's not a thing, that's a thing. That's a thing. 740 00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:24,200 Speaker 2: And Clay's not an eighteen year old. That man is 741 00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:29,319 Speaker 2: in his thirties. But we know this about Clay. He's 742 00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:35,840 Speaker 2: a thinker, he is sensitive. And I know for a 743 00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:39,320 Speaker 2: fact that he's been at minimum off and on mostly 744 00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:43,719 Speaker 2: on mad at the organization for over a year. And 745 00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:46,200 Speaker 2: I can get into why for those that may not 746 00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:51,680 Speaker 2: follow that organization as closely, but we've watched this in 747 00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:58,920 Speaker 2: contract negotiations and standoffs and holdouts. You scrub your social. 748 00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:03,680 Speaker 3: Media, I still think from it's hysterical when people think 749 00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:07,600 Speaker 3: it's not a thing. It's always a thing. Every time 750 00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:12,520 Speaker 3: it's a thank you, so what's your reaction to Klay 751 00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:14,759 Speaker 3: Thompson unfollowing the Warriors on Instagram. 752 00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:17,920 Speaker 6: Well, I knew it was coming. He knew it was coming. 753 00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:23,520 Speaker 6: You knew it was coming. They just they're not going 754 00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:31,040 Speaker 6: to pay him what he wants because there's no you know, 755 00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:35,760 Speaker 6: there's there's no benefit to it. They've decided they're riding 756 00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:40,279 Speaker 6: this thing out with Steph and with Draymond, and they're 757 00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:44,920 Speaker 6: going to build around those pieces. Man out Clay Thompson. Now, 758 00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:48,880 Speaker 6: he didn't help himself. Last game he played in a 759 00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:59,200 Speaker 6: in a Warrior's uniform was forgetful. So it's a situation where, look, 760 00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:01,760 Speaker 6: we can't keep you three together. 761 00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:02,000 Speaker 3: Now. 762 00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:03,919 Speaker 6: To me, I think it's a year leg I think 763 00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:06,480 Speaker 6: they should have started this process last year. I think 764 00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:09,640 Speaker 6: they would have been a better team if they would 765 00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:14,160 Speaker 6: have if they would have done that, started to move 766 00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:17,959 Speaker 6: these pieces around. But look, they were adamant about Hey, 767 00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:21,440 Speaker 6: Steph wanted to run it back one more time, so 768 00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:23,640 Speaker 6: they did. So. They gave Steph as thing, all right, 769 00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:28,279 Speaker 6: this is it and they couldn't make the playoffs. So 770 00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:32,440 Speaker 6: going into the season with those three in the lineup again, 771 00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:35,799 Speaker 6: although he had been relegated to the bench and then 772 00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:37,960 Speaker 6: put back in it like we saw the right. We 773 00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:41,760 Speaker 6: have a term in football called the writings on the wall. 774 00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:47,080 Speaker 6: Right when you're in twenty one personnel and the team 775 00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:55,719 Speaker 6: stops running twenty one personnel plays right, and you're like, okay, 776 00:45:55,760 --> 00:45:58,800 Speaker 6: when they take you off special teams, now you're second 777 00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:03,560 Speaker 6: string special teams. All right, All of these things are 778 00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:10,320 Speaker 6: messages the writings on the wall. They asked you, hey, Clay, 779 00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:13,800 Speaker 6: and he struggled. He's to his own admission, he struggled 780 00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:20,520 Speaker 6: coming off the bench, like most prolific starters, all star 781 00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:25,680 Speaker 6: caliber starters, they struggle with up CP three. I'm sure 782 00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:35,040 Speaker 6: he struggled coming off the bench mentally, Alan Iverson, I mean, 783 00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:43,360 Speaker 6: it's a bevy of of star players towards the latter 784 00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:50,560 Speaker 6: years of their career as to change, you know, their involvement, 785 00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:53,960 Speaker 6: their participation, and it's hard for some to do it. 786 00:46:55,880 --> 00:47:00,080 Speaker 6: And that was the beginning, Like you understood, Oh, ok 787 00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:05,840 Speaker 6: whoa leyden as Draymond or Steph. 788 00:47:05,840 --> 00:47:10,839 Speaker 3: Come on, right, They didn't as those guys to come 789 00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:11,400 Speaker 3: off the bench. 790 00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:15,440 Speaker 2: Well, I listen, I think there's three things, and you 791 00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:18,760 Speaker 2: you certainly touched on the one that I'm sure history 792 00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:21,400 Speaker 2: tells us is actually the most important, and that's money. 793 00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:24,120 Speaker 2: But I do think there's actually three things at play here, 794 00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:26,520 Speaker 2: and any one of them or all of them, could 795 00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:29,799 Speaker 2: be ticking Klay Thompson off right now, because as we know, 796 00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:32,440 Speaker 2: free agency has not opened in the NBA. 797 00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:34,000 Speaker 3: But the damn well. 798 00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:36,719 Speaker 2: Going on with their talks right now, especially with their 799 00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:40,680 Speaker 2: own team, because the Warriors in Clay can talk. Yes, though, 800 00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:42,920 Speaker 2: even though we damn well know if he's got thirty 801 00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:45,520 Speaker 2: million on the table from Philly, his agent knows. We 802 00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:48,680 Speaker 2: know these things, because that's why deals are all struck 803 00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:51,440 Speaker 2: at twelve oh one once free agency starts. 804 00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:57,080 Speaker 3: But I digress. There's three things going on here. Money, role, 805 00:47:57,719 --> 00:47:58,560 Speaker 3: and priority. 806 00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:01,040 Speaker 5: Yes, those are the three things that I think are 807 00:48:01,080 --> 00:48:02,760 Speaker 5: going on with Klay Thompson. 808 00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:04,439 Speaker 3: And I don't believe they're aligned on any of them. 809 00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:05,520 Speaker 3: I agree with you. 810 00:48:06,480 --> 00:48:09,359 Speaker 2: The money bottom line is, if the Warriors pay Klay 811 00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:12,239 Speaker 2: Thompson what he's worth on the open market, then he 812 00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:15,360 Speaker 2: will be their only addition this offseason. And that's not 813 00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:19,360 Speaker 2: an addition because he was already there and that team 814 00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:21,720 Speaker 2: didn't make the playoffs, and now they're a year older. 815 00:48:21,960 --> 00:48:24,439 Speaker 2: So the Warriors are sitting there thinking to themselves, Why 816 00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:27,600 Speaker 2: would we do that? I do think that they could 817 00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:33,160 Speaker 2: have gotten around the money issue if the other two 818 00:48:33,239 --> 00:48:37,320 Speaker 2: issues were handled perfectly. And that is answer the question 819 00:48:37,640 --> 00:48:42,840 Speaker 2: what's my role and what priority am I? The problem 820 00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:45,440 Speaker 2: is what the warriors I think want to do is well, 821 00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:51,440 Speaker 2: they'd like your role to be less and what priority 822 00:48:51,480 --> 00:48:53,319 Speaker 2: are you not? 823 00:48:53,600 --> 00:48:54,360 Speaker 3: First? 824 00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:56,920 Speaker 2: So, in other words, how does it feel to Clay 825 00:48:57,360 --> 00:49:00,960 Speaker 2: when the warriors, who I know and everyone knows, are 826 00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:04,440 Speaker 2: at least gonna they're gonna kick the tires on a 827 00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:08,640 Speaker 2: big move. They're going to they have to, they're the warriors, 828 00:49:09,080 --> 00:49:11,799 Speaker 2: and so uh, if they're gonna kick the tires on 829 00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:15,160 Speaker 2: a big move, if they don't even know what they 830 00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:18,520 Speaker 2: can offer Clay yet, they've got to let the other 831 00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:22,840 Speaker 2: stuff play out first. So imagine if you're Klay Thompson 832 00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:26,840 Speaker 2: and they come to you with so, we can't offer 833 00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:28,240 Speaker 2: you what you want. 834 00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:30,920 Speaker 3: We think we want you to. 835 00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:35,040 Speaker 2: Come off the bench, and if Clay goes, well, what 836 00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:39,960 Speaker 2: can you offer me? Well, we don't know yet because 837 00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:43,440 Speaker 2: we've got to work on all of this other stuff. 838 00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:47,480 Speaker 6: He's not a priority and that's hot for him to understand. 839 00:49:47,880 --> 00:49:50,759 Speaker 2: That's not gonna land well with him. That's gonna make him. 840 00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:51,239 Speaker 2: I don't know. 841 00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:56,360 Speaker 3: Unfollow the Warriors on Instagram. They don't like me, I 842 00:49:56,400 --> 00:50:00,440 Speaker 3: don't like him. You don't have time for me. I'm 843 00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:01,759 Speaker 3: not gonna have no time for you. 844 00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:05,320 Speaker 2: It feels so stupid and passive aggressive, But I'm sorry, 845 00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:08,280 Speaker 2: that's just out we roll now. That's that's the deal. 846 00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:11,240 Speaker 2: And it's not like, I mean, what's his other option 847 00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:11,719 Speaker 2: right now? 848 00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:14,520 Speaker 3: Anyway? It's not like he can do an interview. 849 00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:17,160 Speaker 2: It's not like he can come on Fox Sports Radio 850 00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:20,160 Speaker 2: and be like, I'm out, I hate the Warriors. 851 00:50:20,160 --> 00:50:21,440 Speaker 3: I'm out. Why would he do that? 852 00:50:21,520 --> 00:50:25,239 Speaker 2: The lowers his value and and and you can't say 853 00:50:25,239 --> 00:50:27,960 Speaker 2: anything about talking to other teams because supposedly you're not 854 00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:28,799 Speaker 2: allowed to yet. 855 00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:32,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, there's nothing he can do. 856 00:50:32,280 --> 00:50:36,080 Speaker 6: The agent already has said, hey, look, it's just not 857 00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:41,880 Speaker 6: going to happen. Where would you want to go? What 858 00:50:41,920 --> 00:50:47,879 Speaker 6: do you mean it's not going to happen. I mean 859 00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:50,480 Speaker 6: it's not going to happen. It's going to happen. Yeah, 860 00:50:51,120 --> 00:50:56,360 Speaker 6: it's not what we're looking for. And where we've arrived 861 00:50:56,440 --> 00:50:58,319 Speaker 6: is already what the Warriors weren't looking for. 862 00:50:58,840 --> 00:51:00,879 Speaker 2: So the reports where they are offered him two years 863 00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:03,920 Speaker 2: and forty eight million before the year even started, Clay 864 00:51:03,960 --> 00:51:07,760 Speaker 2: said no, and off we went into the season. 865 00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:10,640 Speaker 3: Guarantee is less than that. Now he should have right now. 866 00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:14,640 Speaker 2: Now it's yeah, Now it's gone down, I would imagine. 867 00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:18,560 Speaker 2: So there's that, he gets benched for part of the season, 868 00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:22,720 Speaker 2: he plays the good soldier, sort of acts like it, 869 00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:25,359 Speaker 2: it doesn't bother him, and then they don't even make 870 00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:31,160 Speaker 2: the playoffs. The whole thing has gone exactly how he 871 00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:34,400 Speaker 2: does not want it to go. But the problem is 872 00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:36,920 Speaker 2: the Warriors then finished the season and the first thing 873 00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:39,719 Speaker 2: they do at exit interviews is well, we want Clay back. 874 00:51:41,120 --> 00:51:46,000 Speaker 2: We got to have Clay back. We love Clay, we 875 00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:48,880 Speaker 2: have got to have him back. And they said that 876 00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:52,840 Speaker 2: out loud two or three times in one day, and 877 00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:57,000 Speaker 2: then there has not been another word since. And all 878 00:51:57,239 --> 00:52:00,880 Speaker 2: of the backstory that I hear is the it's not good. 879 00:52:01,880 --> 00:52:04,880 Speaker 2: And then you get an unfollow on Instagram, and I 880 00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:06,640 Speaker 2: think you can put two and two together. 881 00:52:08,160 --> 00:52:10,080 Speaker 3: I'm not reporting anything right now. 882 00:52:11,320 --> 00:52:14,200 Speaker 2: I do want to play what Draymond Green said he 883 00:52:14,239 --> 00:52:18,280 Speaker 2: addressed this on his podcast, and him addressing Klay Thompson 884 00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:21,920 Speaker 2: stuff has already gotten him into trouble before, so I 885 00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:24,200 Speaker 2: want to we should play that, and we'll do that 886 00:52:24,280 --> 00:52:27,640 Speaker 2: coming up next. But I think a parting of the 887 00:52:27,680 --> 00:52:36,600 Speaker 2: ways is imminent. I think the breakup is happening. It's 888 00:52:36,640 --> 00:52:40,040 Speaker 2: no getting around it. It's this is this is what 889 00:52:40,160 --> 00:52:46,480 Speaker 2: it is, and it's a business. 890 00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:50,800 Speaker 6: And to Warrior fans, including yourself, yes, what Klay Thompson 891 00:52:50,840 --> 00:52:55,360 Speaker 6: did for the organization was amazing, but it's time to 892 00:52:55,440 --> 00:53:01,600 Speaker 6: move on. It's time to move on, and it sucks. 893 00:53:03,880 --> 00:53:06,440 Speaker 6: Very few players get to spend their whole career with 894 00:53:06,600 --> 00:53:13,839 Speaker 6: a team and when it's not you, then they won't 895 00:53:13,880 --> 00:53:20,360 Speaker 6: ever move off. Steph Nope. So you're at a situation 896 00:53:20,520 --> 00:53:27,440 Speaker 6: where you know you gotta be like, man, look, it 897 00:53:27,520 --> 00:53:30,319 Speaker 6: was great, move on. The best way to do it 898 00:53:30,360 --> 00:53:32,600 Speaker 6: is to go somewhere else, to win a championship, somewhere else. 899 00:53:35,280 --> 00:53:37,319 Speaker 3: Do that. That would be the goal. 900 00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:41,319 Speaker 2: So we'll let you hear what Draymond had to say 901 00:53:41,320 --> 00:53:44,720 Speaker 2: on his podcast directly about this issue. Coming up next, 902 00:53:45,160 --> 00:53:48,000 Speaker 2: we're broadcasting live from the ti raq dot com studios. 903 00:53:48,480 --> 00:53:50,560 Speaker 2: Ti rack dot com will help you get there and 904 00:53:50,600 --> 00:53:53,440 Speaker 2: on matt selection, fast free shipping, free road hazard protection, 905 00:53:53,840 --> 00:53:56,959 Speaker 2: and over ten thousand recommended installers.

Change the whole show is one of the 938 00:55:38,440 --> 00:55:40,920 Speaker 2: and I mean, how stupid does that sound. Somebody hit 939 00:55:40,960 --> 00:55:44,880 Speaker 2: the unfollowed button on Instagram and at four o'clock on 940 00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:49,479 Speaker 2: an afternoon drive show, stop everything, cancel the guests.

I had no idea that happened. 950 00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:26,479 Speaker 12: I think it's hilarious. Just so y'all know. I laugh 951 00:56:26,760 --> 00:56:29,080 Speaker 12: when Jackson I logged on hair and Jackson's like, Yo, 952 00:56:29,160 --> 00:56:31,840 Speaker 12: so what about Clay.

I know you all be one like somebody 955 00:56:36,920 --> 00:56:39,439 Speaker 12: feelings to be hurt or something. It ain't that, ain't 956 00:56:39,480 --> 00:56:41,520 Speaker 12: never going to be that. That's hilarious. 957 00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:44,960 Speaker 3: I don't even catch stand that answer. 958 00:56:46,200 --> 00:56:50,680 Speaker 2: I don't either, because it's so vague.

What like, should your feelings 961 00:56:58,360 --> 00:57:01,160 Speaker 2: be hurt that Clay did that? Or are you suggesting 962 00:57:01,239 --> 00:57:07,680 Speaker 2: that Clay is not hurt, which is what's leading to 963 00:57:07,960 --> 00:57:13,200 Speaker 2: the act of unfollowing the Warriors on Instagram the whole. 964 00:57:13,360 --> 00:57:15,719 Speaker 2: I know you want this to be something. I think 965 00:57:15,760 --> 00:57:19,840 Speaker 2: it's hilarious, but I know he never gets to Hey, 966 00:57:20,200 --> 00:57:24,280 Speaker 2: Clay's fine, that's not what this is about. He makes 967 00:57:24,320 --> 00:57:27,920 Speaker 2: you feel like that's what he's saying without saying anything. 968 00:57:27,960 --> 00:57:29,480 Speaker 5: This is my total takeaway. 969 00:57:29,720 --> 00:57:32,520 Speaker 2: Draymond just said a bunch of stuff that he's not 970 00:57:32,640 --> 00:57:35,520 Speaker 2: gonna have to walk back even though all of us 971 00:57:35,520 --> 00:57:35,919 Speaker 2: are right. 972 00:57:38,200 --> 00:57:42,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, that to me was what happened. 973 00:57:44,760 --> 00:57:48,120 Speaker 6: I know y'all want, you know, everybody, you know somebody's 974 00:57:48,120 --> 00:57:55,480 Speaker 6: feelings to be hurt, But that what what's comical. What 975 00:57:55,720 --> 00:58:00,280 Speaker 6: part of it is comical. The fact that he's leaving it, 976 00:58:00,360 --> 00:58:03,240 Speaker 6: the fact that he's me making a big deal out. 977 00:58:03,120 --> 00:58:04,800 Speaker 3: Of making the big deal out of it. That's how 978 00:58:04,840 --> 00:58:05,400 Speaker 3: I took it. 979 00:58:05,720 --> 00:58:12,520 Speaker 6: That's I mean, because the fact is he did it. 980 00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:15,520 Speaker 6: You guys are closed. You didn't know anything about it. 981 00:58:17,440 --> 00:58:18,200 Speaker 3: Uh So. 982 00:58:20,200 --> 00:58:22,400 Speaker 6: You know, maybe you should have called him before you 983 00:58:22,440 --> 00:58:25,160 Speaker 6: got on your podcast, so you could have gave us 984 00:58:25,200 --> 00:58:25,720 Speaker 6: some insight. 985 00:58:26,720 --> 00:58:28,640 Speaker 2: Not the first time that that's been the case. So 986 00:58:28,840 --> 00:58:31,080 Speaker 2: you know, you mentioned you guys are tight. I'm not 987 00:58:31,120 --> 00:58:32,920 Speaker 2: going to suggest that they're not. I don't know the 988 00:58:32,920 --> 00:58:34,919 Speaker 2: ins and outs of that relationship, but I can share 989 00:58:34,960 --> 00:58:35,480 Speaker 2: this with you. 990 00:58:36,040 --> 00:58:37,160 Speaker 3: This I know for sure. 991 00:58:38,280 --> 00:58:42,600 Speaker 2: Draymond Green, once upon a time shared publicly and he 992 00:58:42,680 --> 00:58:45,800 Speaker 2: did this kind of on the stage at an awards 993 00:58:45,800 --> 00:58:49,240 Speaker 2: show once upon a time. You know, can Bob Myers 994 00:58:49,240 --> 00:58:54,600 Speaker 2: get some bleeping credit the then general manager when talking 995 00:58:54,640 --> 00:58:58,720 Speaker 2: about how the Warriors went to the hospital and signed 996 00:58:58,800 --> 00:59:02,160 Speaker 2: Klay Thompson to a map contract extension even though he 997 00:59:02,240 --> 00:59:03,160 Speaker 2: had just torn. 998 00:59:02,960 --> 00:59:06,960 Speaker 5: His acl and Raymond kind of was like, who does that? 999 00:59:07,600 --> 00:59:08,280 Speaker 3: Who does that? 1000 00:59:08,360 --> 00:59:11,440 Speaker 5: They get some credit? And then he has referenced since then. 1001 00:59:12,120 --> 00:59:16,160 Speaker 2: That part of the Warrior front office, as in to 1002 00:59:16,360 --> 00:59:20,720 Speaker 2: give them a bunch of credit for signing Clay to 1003 00:59:20,880 --> 00:59:25,480 Speaker 2: a max contract while he hadn't even gone under the knife. 1004 00:59:25,320 --> 00:59:28,840 Speaker 3: Yet for ACL surgery. Clay did not like that. 1005 00:59:30,680 --> 00:59:33,560 Speaker 2: Clay did not appreciate the fact that Draymond Green spoke 1006 00:59:33,600 --> 00:59:37,400 Speaker 2: about his money in a public space. And you know this, 1007 00:59:37,520 --> 00:59:39,760 Speaker 2: that's the code. It's the code in pro sports. You 1008 00:59:39,760 --> 00:59:43,000 Speaker 2: don't talk about it. You don't talk about another guy's money. 1009 00:59:43,480 --> 00:59:49,360 Speaker 2: Because Clay, again, is he overly prideful. Sure you could 1010 00:59:49,400 --> 00:59:52,480 Speaker 2: accuse him of that. I could listen to that, but 1011 00:59:52,600 --> 00:59:54,680 Speaker 2: the bottom line is is he sort of looks at 1012 00:59:54,720 --> 00:59:55,760 Speaker 2: it the opposite way. 1013 00:59:57,200 --> 01:00:00,000 Speaker 3: Like, go back four years. 1014 01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:03,240 Speaker 2: Klay Thompson hasn't even had his thirtieth birthday yet, the 1015 01:00:03,320 --> 01:00:05,880 Speaker 2: Warriors are in the middle of a dynasty that, as 1016 01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:09,520 Speaker 2: it turned out, wasn't done yet. What are the Warriors 1017 01:00:09,520 --> 01:00:13,240 Speaker 2: gonna do not sign him? Like, what are you suggesting, 1018 01:00:13,360 --> 01:00:18,160 Speaker 2: Draymond that the Warriors should have been Like, Ah, so, 1019 01:00:18,600 --> 01:00:20,520 Speaker 2: I know we've won two out of the last three 1020 01:00:20,600 --> 01:00:24,800 Speaker 2: years and you just tore your ACL in the NBA Finals. 1021 01:00:26,600 --> 01:00:34,400 Speaker 2: I know you're not thirty yet. Ah, hometown discount. What 1022 01:00:34,440 --> 01:00:35,400 Speaker 2: are we talking about? 1023 01:00:35,400 --> 01:00:35,640 Speaker 3: Here. 1024 01:00:36,760 --> 01:00:38,560 Speaker 9: So he's like, of course they showed up with a 1025 01:00:38,600 --> 01:00:42,400 Speaker 9: max contract. If they didn't, eighteen other teams would have. 1026 01:00:46,240 --> 01:00:48,200 Speaker 9: So there's history there. 1027 01:00:51,400 --> 01:00:58,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's look, man, the Bulls broke up. 1028 01:01:01,840 --> 01:01:07,520 Speaker 6: After their second three peat and everybody could still play 1029 01:01:08,680 --> 01:01:09,520 Speaker 6: at a high level. 1030 01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:20,480 Speaker 3: It happens. Kobe and Shaq broke up. It happens. 1031 01:01:23,080 --> 01:01:31,720 Speaker 6: So it's a situation where nothing lasts forever. You knew, 1032 01:01:31,720 --> 01:01:36,640 Speaker 6: out of the three, somebody had to go, and they 1033 01:01:36,800 --> 01:01:43,000 Speaker 6: let it play out on the court instead of them picking, 1034 01:01:45,360 --> 01:01:49,040 Speaker 6: they let it play out on the court. If Clay 1035 01:01:49,040 --> 01:01:52,880 Speaker 6: would have had a tremendous year this year, we wouldn't 1036 01:01:52,880 --> 01:01:58,040 Speaker 6: be having this conversation. Then he could be like that 1037 01:01:58,120 --> 01:02:03,200 Speaker 6: two year, forty eight million dollars would have been insulting. Now, 1038 01:02:03,240 --> 01:02:08,000 Speaker 6: he probably should have took it if he wanted to 1039 01:02:08,000 --> 01:02:10,280 Speaker 6: stay in Golden State, because that's not what it is now, 1040 01:02:10,360 --> 01:02:11,400 Speaker 6: that's that's off the table. 1041 01:02:12,560 --> 01:02:15,680 Speaker 5: Well, the crazy thing is, though, he will beat that deal. 1042 01:02:15,720 --> 01:02:17,479 Speaker 3: Oh he's going to beat it. That's what I'm saying. 1043 01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:21,200 Speaker 6: If he wanted to stay in Golden State, correct, he 1044 01:02:21,240 --> 01:02:24,960 Speaker 6: should have taken that deal. Because they're not going to 1045 01:02:25,040 --> 01:02:28,200 Speaker 6: that's off the table. They won't offer that to him there, 1046 01:02:29,600 --> 01:02:31,840 Speaker 6: he's going to beat that on the open market. But 1047 01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:39,959 Speaker 6: obviously he didn't want to go anywhere. So that's that's 1048 01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:43,080 Speaker 6: what I'm saying. If he was felt a certain way 1049 01:02:43,200 --> 01:02:47,160 Speaker 6: about Golden State and wanting to finish his career there, 1050 01:02:47,280 --> 01:02:49,280 Speaker 6: then you take the two years forty eight million. That's 1051 01:02:49,280 --> 01:02:53,280 Speaker 6: twenty four million dollars a year on top of the 1052 01:02:54,440 --> 01:03:00,160 Speaker 6: what almost a quarter of a billion. So yep, he's 1053 01:03:00,160 --> 01:03:02,400 Speaker 6: already made. That was the hometown. 1054 01:03:03,320 --> 01:03:04,800 Speaker 3: Deal. That was it. 1055 01:03:05,720 --> 01:03:10,240 Speaker 6: Now you didn't even perform up to that contract this year, 1056 01:03:13,160 --> 01:03:21,720 Speaker 6: and so now they're like, whoof we died that bullet. 1057 01:03:24,320 --> 01:03:26,400 Speaker 6: Now they have wiggle room. Now they can go get 1058 01:03:26,440 --> 01:03:27,480 Speaker 6: some real pieces. 1059 01:03:27,840 --> 01:03:30,520 Speaker 2: Well yeah, that what the deal is is what what 1060 01:03:30,560 --> 01:03:34,280 Speaker 2: they what they've got now is the knowledge that they 1061 01:03:34,280 --> 01:03:38,200 Speaker 2: didn't have then, which is that this is not going 1062 01:03:38,280 --> 01:03:45,120 Speaker 2: to work, so god go do something else. But when 1063 01:03:45,160 --> 01:03:50,480 Speaker 2: you talk about living up to a contract being worth 1064 01:03:50,560 --> 01:03:51,560 Speaker 2: every dollar. 1065 01:03:51,320 --> 01:03:54,640 Speaker 6: Put the money in the bag.

Dodgers won three nothing over Kansas City, but 1148 01:08:30,240 --> 01:08:32,920 Speaker 10: Mookie Bets broke his hand hit by a pitch back 1149 01:08:32,960 --> 01:08:34,640 Speaker 10: to you, that's. 1150 01:08:35,040 --> 01:08:38,240 Speaker 2: That is going to have an effect on things going forward. 1151 01:08:38,320 --> 01:08:40,839 Speaker 5: Although it looks like you're only. 1152 01:08:40,640 --> 01:08:44,080 Speaker 3: Going to need to win eighty three games to make the. 1153 01:08:44,040 --> 01:08:48,120 Speaker 2: Playoffs International League, and the Dodgers and Phillies are almost there, 1154 01:08:48,479 --> 01:08:52,760 Speaker 2: so it's it's all good. But yeah, that's that's going 1155 01:08:52,800 --> 01:08:55,360 Speaker 2: to be a while there for Mookie Betts. Steve great 1156 01:08:55,360 --> 01:08:58,760 Speaker 2: stuff as always, Thank you, tye reck dot com Studios. 1157 01:08:59,320 --> 01:09:01,360 Speaker 9: Am, can we get into it? What the hell's up 1158 01:09:01,360 --> 01:09:02,360 Speaker 9: with your Laker job? 1159 01:09:02,600 --> 01:09:03,040 Speaker 3: For real? 1160 01:09:04,600 --> 01:09:07,559 Speaker 2: And I don't I don't mean because our person turned 1161 01:09:07,600 --> 01:09:12,200 Speaker 2: it down. This is unlike any process I've I've watched 1162 01:09:12,280 --> 01:09:17,679 Speaker 2: ever before. Why did it go this way? Why JJ 1163 01:09:17,880 --> 01:09:21,920 Speaker 2: Reddick's name has gotten thrown around for three weeks? Then 1164 01:09:22,000 --> 01:09:26,160 Speaker 2: it was a smoke screen. Here's Dan Hurley, Oh, build 1165 01:09:26,240 --> 01:09:29,880 Speaker 2: up staircase, Dan Hurley. Oh he doesn't take it. 1166 01:09:30,080 --> 01:09:31,080 Speaker 3: Now we're going back. 1167 01:09:31,160 --> 01:09:38,120 Speaker 2: It's like we're watching a reality show, right, But that's clunky. 1168 01:09:38,640 --> 01:09:42,080 Speaker 3: It's very clunky, embarrassing. 1169 01:09:41,360 --> 01:09:45,600 Speaker 2: For an organization like this to get taken College coaches 1170 01:09:45,640 --> 01:09:49,240 Speaker 2: turning it down and we know about it leading up 1171 01:09:49,280 --> 01:09:55,480 Speaker 2: to it for a week. This is sloppy. I don't understand. 1172 01:09:55,840 --> 01:09:58,680 Speaker 2: I don't understand because this isn't the way for this organization. 1173 01:10:00,320 --> 01:10:03,639 Speaker 6: No it's not, and it's embarrassing as a lifelong fan. 1174 01:10:04,960 --> 01:10:08,719 Speaker 6: But look, somebody's gonna get the job. It's a tough 1175 01:10:08,800 --> 01:10:15,720 Speaker 6: job to take. The team is older, it's not championship 1176 01:10:15,800 --> 01:10:20,160 Speaker 6: caliber in my opinion, and there's very little wiggle room 1177 01:10:20,720 --> 01:10:26,320 Speaker 6: to make it a championship team. It's very top heavy, 1178 01:10:27,840 --> 01:10:34,439 Speaker 6: and so you're walking into a mine field hoping to 1179 01:10:34,479 --> 01:10:38,400 Speaker 6: get through the other side. No coach has gotten through 1180 01:10:38,439 --> 01:10:41,280 Speaker 6: the other side, not even one who won a championship 1181 01:10:41,320 --> 01:10:46,559 Speaker 6: for them four years ago. And so you're in a 1182 01:10:46,600 --> 01:10:50,439 Speaker 6: situation where, oh, yeah, the money's nice, it's la. The 1183 01:10:50,479 --> 01:10:55,120 Speaker 6: prestige of it, it's all there. It's great, But what's 1184 01:10:55,160 --> 01:11:00,000 Speaker 6: the upside. It's lose, lose because it's championship or bus. 1185 01:11:00,120 --> 01:11:03,599 Speaker 6: Especially with Lebron James in the twilight of his career, 1186 01:11:05,320 --> 01:11:11,200 Speaker 6: Anthony Davis, who shout out to him him in his trainer, 1187 01:11:12,040 --> 01:11:16,400 Speaker 6: John Isshup, who had him healthy and playing more games 1188 01:11:16,400 --> 01:11:23,280 Speaker 6: than he's played in his entire career, but can he 1189 01:11:23,360 --> 01:11:29,799 Speaker 6: do that again? Outside of him being healthy, the rest 1190 01:11:29,920 --> 01:11:34,479 Speaker 6: of the entire bench and some starters were unhealthy the 1191 01:11:34,640 --> 01:11:41,479 Speaker 6: entire season. So it just I don't know if they 1192 01:11:41,520 --> 01:11:45,280 Speaker 6: were ever fully healthy starting at the beginning. And Vanderbilt 1193 01:11:45,320 --> 01:11:50,519 Speaker 6: missed first what two months of the season gave Vincent 1194 01:11:50,600 --> 01:11:53,080 Speaker 6: missed to play one game and then didn't play again 1195 01:11:53,200 --> 01:11:59,519 Speaker 6: until the playoffs. What so you missed the entire season 1196 01:12:02,600 --> 01:12:07,559 Speaker 6: And so it's you know, cam redd Is heard, it's 1197 01:12:07,600 --> 01:12:10,080 Speaker 6: one of those jobs as a coach, you're looking like, 1198 01:12:10,120 --> 01:12:15,800 Speaker 6: oh man, the money's great. Well the money won't be 1199 01:12:15,880 --> 01:12:20,360 Speaker 6: what they offered Hurley Dan early, but right, it won't 1200 01:12:20,400 --> 01:12:23,320 Speaker 6: be that, which is also another slapping face like, oh, 1201 01:12:23,360 --> 01:12:25,960 Speaker 6: well you offered that much. Now you want to you 1202 01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:28,320 Speaker 6: know That's that's the problem they ran into with TYLERU. 1203 01:12:28,800 --> 01:12:31,160 Speaker 3: Well they want Tyler. Yeah. 1204 01:12:31,280 --> 01:12:33,479 Speaker 2: I got a question for you that I want to 1205 01:12:34,040 --> 01:12:36,120 Speaker 2: or or maybe push back a little bit on this 1206 01:12:36,280 --> 01:12:39,799 Speaker 2: idea that it's quote a tough job to take because 1207 01:12:39,840 --> 01:12:43,360 Speaker 2: it's championship or bust. I'd like to explore that a 1208 01:12:43,400 --> 01:12:45,840 Speaker 2: little bit further. Coming up, we're in the tyraq dot 1209 01:12:45,840 --> 01:12:49,040 Speaker 2: com studios with e from Salama Mark Wheeler. This is 1210 01:12:49,040 --> 01:12:55,679 Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio.

So just show up and 1218 01:13:36,960 --> 01:13:39,759 Speaker 2: then you can mess up once you get there, because 1219 01:13:39,760 --> 01:13:43,400 Speaker 2: you will, God knows.

Mark Willardy from salam 1234 01:14:39,600 --> 01:14:42,760 Speaker 2: I don't think your Laker job is that hard to 1235 01:14:42,800 --> 01:14:43,439 Speaker 2: say yes to. 1236 01:14:43,560 --> 01:14:44,320 Speaker 3: I really don't. 1237 01:14:44,400 --> 01:14:50,000 Speaker 2: I don't see the negative to joining Championship or Bust 1238 01:14:50,160 --> 01:14:54,439 Speaker 2: and knowing that the stakes are high and you might 1239 01:14:54,520 --> 01:14:59,960 Speaker 2: get fired very quickly. And and yes, uh, the Lions share. 1240 01:15:00,080 --> 01:15:02,200 Speaker 2: The blame will go to you and the credit will 1241 01:15:02,200 --> 01:15:04,840 Speaker 2: go to the players if it goes well. But I 1242 01:15:04,960 --> 01:15:06,840 Speaker 2: look at right now and I go, okay, here's a 1243 01:15:06,880 --> 01:15:09,080 Speaker 2: couple of things. First of all, even if you are 1244 01:15:09,120 --> 01:15:12,240 Speaker 2: signing on to coach Lebron, he not gonna be around 1245 01:15:12,280 --> 01:15:13,240 Speaker 2: that much longer. 1246 01:15:13,800 --> 01:15:15,760 Speaker 3: I bet whoever. 1247 01:15:15,360 --> 01:15:19,840 Speaker 2: Gets this job out lasts Lebron of course. Well yeah, okay, yeah, 1248 01:15:20,360 --> 01:15:23,280 Speaker 2: And that's not a tough bet. So that's number one 1249 01:15:23,360 --> 01:15:25,360 Speaker 2: for everybody who's like, well, I'm not gonna sign up 1250 01:15:25,360 --> 01:15:29,360 Speaker 2: to coach Lebron. Well, you're actually signing up to coach 1251 01:15:30,160 --> 01:15:34,800 Speaker 2: Lebron probably and post Lebron, yeah, because you're gonna get 1252 01:15:34,800 --> 01:15:35,960 Speaker 2: at least two years. 1253 01:15:36,000 --> 01:15:43,160 Speaker 6: But you don't get to make decisions that you feel 1254 01:15:43,920 --> 01:15:46,640 Speaker 6: maybe and that's the I think that's the biggest thing. 1255 01:15:46,680 --> 01:15:49,400 Speaker 6: I think that's the thing that like, you know, at 1256 01:15:49,520 --> 01:15:57,879 Speaker 6: least for two years, you know, it's you got. 1257 01:15:57,640 --> 01:16:02,880 Speaker 3: To clear it with the player. Wants to do that, well, 1258 01:16:03,240 --> 01:16:03,640 Speaker 3: I don't know. 1259 01:16:03,720 --> 01:16:07,759 Speaker 2: For bajillions of dollars, maybe I think people would number 1260 01:16:07,760 --> 01:16:08,479 Speaker 2: one and number two. 1261 01:16:08,560 --> 01:16:12,759 Speaker 3: I think the thought is is it becomes a stain 1262 01:16:13,439 --> 01:16:14,439 Speaker 3: on your resume. 1263 01:16:14,840 --> 01:16:18,760 Speaker 2: You take the gig, you get steamrolled by Lebron and 1264 01:16:18,800 --> 01:16:22,800 Speaker 2: the fan base, and you walk out of there eighteen 1265 01:16:22,920 --> 01:16:25,599 Speaker 2: to thirty six months later with your tail between your 1266 01:16:25,680 --> 01:16:29,840 Speaker 2: legs and your career careening out of control. And I'm like, well, 1267 01:16:29,880 --> 01:16:32,840 Speaker 2: hang on a second, Like, let's look at all of 1268 01:16:32,880 --> 01:16:37,240 Speaker 2: the coaches who have been through there or have coached 1269 01:16:37,320 --> 01:16:42,439 Speaker 2: Lebron or hey, like Mike Brown both, he's done both. 1270 01:16:43,040 --> 01:16:47,920 Speaker 2: He's done Lakers and he's done Lebron, and he has survived. 1271 01:16:48,320 --> 01:16:50,960 Speaker 2: He is now thriving. He just got a new deal. 1272 01:16:52,360 --> 01:16:55,000 Speaker 2: Frank Vogel went on to coach the Suns. Whether it 1273 01:16:55,080 --> 01:16:58,000 Speaker 2: went well or not is not my point. That's not 1274 01:16:58,080 --> 01:17:00,160 Speaker 2: my point. My point is is he walked down out 1275 01:17:00,160 --> 01:17:06,599 Speaker 2: of the Laker experience still hirable. So I just don't 1276 01:17:06,640 --> 01:17:10,200 Speaker 2: think this whole like, oh, it's too much attention, it's 1277 01:17:10,280 --> 01:17:12,040 Speaker 2: championship or bust, it's lebron. 1278 01:17:13,680 --> 01:17:16,160 Speaker 3: I don't see the downside. Well, there's what I know, 1279 01:17:16,240 --> 01:17:19,040 Speaker 3: a lot of guys don't want to fail. Well I 1280 01:17:19,120 --> 01:17:21,840 Speaker 3: get that, but but I would say that this is 1281 01:17:22,320 --> 01:17:23,559 Speaker 3: helpful and not failing. 1282 01:17:23,640 --> 01:17:26,639 Speaker 2: Here's one thing I know. I have no idea who's 1283 01:17:26,680 --> 01:17:28,320 Speaker 2: going to do a good job or a bad job. 1284 01:17:28,360 --> 01:17:29,040 Speaker 2: Here's what I know. 1285 01:17:29,600 --> 01:17:33,120 Speaker 3: Whoever gets this job, their name is going to be 1286 01:17:33,360 --> 01:17:39,559 Speaker 3: way bigger after this experience is over than it is now. Yes, 1287 01:17:40,240 --> 01:17:42,599 Speaker 3: that is a fact. So there you go. 1288 01:17:43,200 --> 01:17:46,240 Speaker 2: If that's if the deal is, you're in an industry 1289 01:17:46,960 --> 01:17:51,719 Speaker 2: where fame and attention and resume and all these things matter. 1290 01:17:52,800 --> 01:17:56,960 Speaker 2: I don't know, man, I don't see the downside. 1291 01:17:57,760 --> 01:17:59,760 Speaker 3: Well, we've got Steve Kerr. I think he's leaving the 1292 01:17:59,760 --> 01:18:05,639 Speaker 3: war Warriors, so not not anytime soon on this sign 1293 01:18:05,680 --> 01:18:13,040 Speaker 3: a new deal. It's a sign and trade sign. Are 1294 01:18:13,080 --> 01:18:16,519 Speaker 3: you gonna take Clay too? We'll take Clay and Steve better. 1295 01:18:16,840 --> 01:18:17,240 Speaker 3: You better. 1296 01:18:17,320 --> 01:18:20,360 Speaker 2: He's been a hashtag future Laker for fifteen years. 1297 01:18:20,360 --> 01:18:24,240 Speaker 6: It feels like, well, you know, yeah, I don't know 1298 01:18:24,400 --> 01:18:29,000 Speaker 6: necessarily if we want this Clay, but you know, I 1299 01:18:29,040 --> 01:18:31,960 Speaker 6: know his dad would love it.

Warrior fans don't want to hear that. 1302 01:18:39,240 --> 01:18:42,040 Speaker 3: But but you know Clay Clay grew up around this 1303 01:18:43,040 --> 01:18:44,000 Speaker 3: and uh. 1304 01:18:43,840 --> 01:18:45,720 Speaker 6: Yeah, they played for He plays for Golden State, but 1305 01:18:45,760 --> 01:18:47,479 Speaker 6: he's a Laker fan. That's just how it goes. 1306 01:18:47,880 --> 01:18:48,080 Speaker 2: Well. 1307 01:18:48,160 --> 01:18:49,759 Speaker 3: He grew up. 1308 01:18:50,280 --> 01:18:55,760 Speaker 2: In the locker room Oregon, but also Orange County idolizing 1309 01:18:55,840 --> 01:19:01,000 Speaker 2: Kobe Bryant and his and his dad's broadcasting for the team. 1310 01:19:01,120 --> 01:19:03,840 Speaker 2: I don't really see that it's going to land that way, 1311 01:19:04,600 --> 01:19:07,760 Speaker 2: but who knows. 1312 01:19:07,960 --> 01:19:09,680 Speaker 3: I don't know where this is all going to end up. 1313 01:19:09,720 --> 01:19:13,800 Speaker 3: I just think I'm I'm confused. 1314 01:19:14,320 --> 01:19:17,160 Speaker 9: I'm confused that a Lakers head coaching search looks and 1315 01:19:17,240 --> 01:19:17,920 Speaker 9: sounds like this. 1316 01:19:18,760 --> 01:19:19,160 Speaker 3: I'm not. 1317 01:19:20,960 --> 01:19:26,240 Speaker 6: One of the most prestigious jobs in the association. This 1318 01:19:27,840 --> 01:19:33,439 Speaker 6: makes sense to me, it does. It makes sense to me, 1319 01:19:33,640 --> 01:19:39,559 Speaker 6: So I just want a good coach. Man, I hear you. 1320 01:19:39,680 --> 01:19:42,519 Speaker 3: I'm going in Monday, but tomorrow for my interview. 1321 01:19:43,280 --> 01:19:47,360 Speaker 2: I think I think it's pretty rare that it gets 1322 01:19:47,400 --> 01:19:51,080 Speaker 2: telegraphed like this and we get a whole build up 1323 01:19:51,240 --> 01:19:53,320 Speaker 2: and a name and there's going to be an interview, 1324 01:19:53,360 --> 01:19:55,800 Speaker 2: and here's what he's being offered, and dot to dot 1325 01:19:55,840 --> 01:20:00,280 Speaker 2: to dot to beat to beat to beat, and nah. 1326 01:19:59,720 --> 01:20:00,599 Speaker 3: I don't don't want it. 1327 01:20:01,840 --> 01:20:03,920 Speaker 2: Come on, man, you can't tell me you saw it 1328 01:20:03,960 --> 01:20:05,080 Speaker 2: sounded and looking like that. 1329 01:20:10,320 --> 01:20:15,000 Speaker 6: Man, would you like a way? Would you like to 1330 01:20:15,040 --> 01:20:21,520 Speaker 6: be my assistant coach? I would be open to that conversation. 1331 01:20:24,720 --> 01:20:30,519 Speaker 6: You have to denounce all allegiance to the Warriors, burn 1332 01:20:30,600 --> 01:20:36,160 Speaker 6: all your memorabilia, and your son has to change his 1333 01:20:36,360 --> 01:20:37,439 Speaker 6: middle name to Leb Brown. 1334 01:20:38,000 --> 01:20:42,080 Speaker 2: Okay, I'll tell you what Tomorrow at two o'clock live 1335 01:20:42,200 --> 01:20:46,840 Speaker 2: on Fox, I'll announce whether or not I'm taking the 1336 01:20:46,880 --> 01:20:49,080 Speaker 2: assistant job with the Lakers. 1337 01:20:49,120 --> 01:20:52,160 Speaker 3: How's that sound. We'll get into Caitlyn Clark at Angel 1338 01:20:52,200 --> 01:20:56,120 Speaker 3: Reeson next. Look. 1339 01:20:56,200 --> 01:20:59,920 Speaker 2: The w NBA conversation in the last handful of weeks 1340 01:21:00,439 --> 01:21:05,880 Speaker 2: has moved from basketball to politics, to race, to sexism, 1341 01:21:06,000 --> 01:21:09,120 Speaker 2: all of these things. Right, we all are aware of 1342 01:21:09,840 --> 01:21:14,880 Speaker 2: that dynamic that has unfolded. I keep not having a 1343 01:21:15,000 --> 01:21:18,240 Speaker 2: problem with anything I see on the court. I keep 1344 01:21:18,280 --> 01:21:22,280 Speaker 2: having a problem with what everyone says after it. And 1345 01:21:22,320 --> 01:21:25,479 Speaker 2: I don't mean that on social media. I mean that 1346 01:21:25,520 --> 01:21:27,720 Speaker 2: from the actual players themselves. 1347 01:21:28,280 --> 01:21:30,479 Speaker 3: And maybe me saying I have a problem with it 1348 01:21:30,520 --> 01:21:32,920 Speaker 3: is the wrong way to phrase it. I just think 1349 01:21:32,960 --> 01:21:35,720 Speaker 3: a lot of these players could help themselves. Here's what 1350 01:21:35,800 --> 01:21:36,560 Speaker 3: I'm noticing. 1351 01:21:37,160 --> 01:21:43,040 Speaker 2: You've got rookies on the basketball court, Caitlyn Clark, Angel Reese. 1352 01:21:43,240 --> 01:21:49,120 Speaker 5: They're rookies, but a healthy portion of the entire league. 1353 01:21:50,680 --> 01:21:54,559 Speaker 2: Are rookies when it comes to dealing with this kind 1354 01:21:54,560 --> 01:21:55,760 Speaker 2: of media scrutiny. 1355 01:21:56,760 --> 01:21:58,479 Speaker 3: And that's what I notice. 1356 01:21:59,479 --> 01:22:01,719 Speaker 2: Or broadcast, asked and live from the ti raq dot 1357 01:22:01,720 --> 01:22:04,479 Speaker 2: com studios, tyrac dot com will help you get there 1358 01:22:04,720 --> 01:22:07,960 Speaker 2: on unmatched selection, fast free shipping, free road hazard protection, 1359 01:22:08,400 --> 01:22:11,400 Speaker 2: and over ten thousand recommended installers. 1360 01:22:11,400 --> 01:22:15,559 Speaker 3: Tyrac dot com the way tire buying should be. 1361 01:22:15,680 --> 01:22:19,040 Speaker 2: You remember the last controversy with Kitlin Clark when she 1362 01:22:19,200 --> 01:22:22,759 Speaker 2: got the forearm to the back the cheap shot from Carter, 1363 01:22:23,360 --> 01:22:27,160 Speaker 2: And then after the game, Carter goes to the press 1364 01:22:27,200 --> 01:22:31,080 Speaker 2: conference and says, I'm not doing any Caitlin Clark questions, 1365 01:22:32,000 --> 01:22:35,000 Speaker 2: and it's like, well, actually this was a basketball thing 1366 01:22:35,320 --> 01:22:40,599 Speaker 2: until you said that. Well now we're not doing basketball anymore. 1367 01:22:40,680 --> 01:22:44,519 Speaker 2: Now you've made it personal. That to me is a 1368 01:22:44,680 --> 01:22:48,880 Speaker 2: media rookie mistake. Because all of the WNBA no matter 1369 01:22:48,920 --> 01:22:51,960 Speaker 2: how many years you've played in the league, you've never 1370 01:22:52,080 --> 01:22:57,080 Speaker 2: done this, and I bet you could actually relate to that. Right, 1371 01:22:57,200 --> 01:23:00,120 Speaker 2: There's not just an arc to learning how to play. 1372 01:23:00,800 --> 01:23:04,040 Speaker 2: There's an arc to learning how to deal with money 1373 01:23:04,479 --> 01:23:11,599 Speaker 2: and attention, power, accountability, responsibility. This is what young players 1374 01:23:11,640 --> 01:23:13,439 Speaker 2: have to go through and eat from. I feel like 1375 01:23:13,520 --> 01:23:17,439 Speaker 2: I'm watching the entire WNBA go through that at once. 1376 01:23:19,360 --> 01:23:25,160 Speaker 6: Well, yeah, we look, the WNBA been around a long time, 1377 01:23:25,680 --> 01:23:29,240 Speaker 6: a lot of great players. This is the perfect storm 1378 01:23:29,280 --> 01:23:32,960 Speaker 6: for them because you have a dynamic player that came 1379 01:23:33,000 --> 01:23:35,799 Speaker 6: out of college. They captured the heart and the attention 1380 01:23:35,960 --> 01:23:48,720 Speaker 6: of America and it is really elevated the WNBA. I mean, 1381 01:23:48,800 --> 01:23:53,080 Speaker 6: I'm pretty sure they'll actually make money this year. 1382 01:23:57,520 --> 01:23:57,960 Speaker 3: Just on. 1383 01:23:59,720 --> 01:24:05,080 Speaker 6: You know, the just the viewers and sponsorship and all 1384 01:24:05,160 --> 01:24:10,799 Speaker 6: of these things. It's a tremendous opportunity for. 1385 01:24:13,400 --> 01:24:14,360 Speaker 3: The young women. 1386 01:24:15,720 --> 01:24:19,200 Speaker 6: Playing in a sport that didn't there doesn't get a 1387 01:24:19,200 --> 01:24:23,840 Speaker 6: lot of shine. They're on like they were. I watched 1388 01:24:23,880 --> 01:24:25,479 Speaker 6: they're on CBS today earlier. 1389 01:24:26,120 --> 01:24:28,800 Speaker 3: Yep. You know, I know this is. 1390 01:24:28,760 --> 01:24:37,080 Speaker 6: A relatively down time and sports, no football, Uh, we're 1391 01:24:37,160 --> 01:24:40,080 Speaker 6: just you know, one off in terms of NBA. 1392 01:24:40,960 --> 01:24:43,200 Speaker 3: Right, and plays once every ten days. 1393 01:24:43,280 --> 01:24:48,200 Speaker 6: Yeah, And and baseball we're too far away from anything 1394 01:24:48,280 --> 01:24:51,600 Speaker 6: resembling you know, the playoffs. 1395 01:24:53,320 --> 01:24:54,960 Speaker 3: So we're at a. 1396 01:24:54,880 --> 01:25:01,439 Speaker 6: Time now where it's like, uh, all right, they've been 1397 01:25:01,479 --> 01:25:05,400 Speaker 6: able to capture this market because it's always been like this, 1398 01:25:05,479 --> 01:25:07,479 Speaker 6: but they've been able to really capture this market because 1399 01:25:07,479 --> 01:25:10,479 Speaker 6: people want to see this young woman play as well 1400 01:25:10,520 --> 01:25:16,320 Speaker 6: as Angel and you know, a bevy of the Brink 1401 01:25:16,720 --> 01:25:20,040 Speaker 6: and some of the other college stars that we watched 1402 01:25:21,280 --> 01:25:25,000 Speaker 6: because you know directly of the rivalry and Caitlyn and 1403 01:25:25,040 --> 01:25:28,439 Speaker 6: so on and so forth. So this is a perfect 1404 01:25:28,479 --> 01:25:33,800 Speaker 6: time to embrace it. I said before people go back 1405 01:25:33,840 --> 01:25:37,519 Speaker 6: and forth about the w n B A our USA 1406 01:25:37,560 --> 01:25:41,200 Speaker 6: Basketball dropping the ball on not putting Kaitlyn Clark on 1407 01:25:41,240 --> 01:25:44,240 Speaker 6: the on the Olympic team. 1408 01:25:44,280 --> 01:25:47,760 Speaker 3: But I'm like, you know. 1409 01:25:49,720 --> 01:25:54,200 Speaker 6: How, I think the best thing that could happen for 1410 01:25:54,240 --> 01:26:03,080 Speaker 6: her is to get this break so she can rest, train, 1411 01:26:03,520 --> 01:26:09,519 Speaker 6: get in better shape, and come back when they resume 1412 01:26:10,120 --> 01:26:17,120 Speaker 6: and kill it. Then she can start trying to separate herself. First, 1413 01:26:17,360 --> 01:26:19,360 Speaker 6: you know, third of the season, she was first quarter 1414 01:26:19,400 --> 01:26:22,240 Speaker 6: of the season, she was tired, way too many games, 1415 01:26:22,280 --> 01:26:25,840 Speaker 6: not enough practices. And so we're in a situation now 1416 01:26:26,000 --> 01:26:29,840 Speaker 6: I think it's it was best. I know it would 1417 01:26:29,880 --> 01:26:31,600 Speaker 6: have been great for her to go over there and 1418 01:26:31,640 --> 01:26:34,600 Speaker 6: get that, Yeah, it would have, but they left a 1419 01:26:34,720 --> 01:26:41,320 Speaker 6: bunch of top players off that roster, and you know, 1420 01:26:41,360 --> 01:26:44,320 Speaker 6: from a marketing standpoint, people are like, well, that's just stupid. 1421 01:26:44,760 --> 01:26:47,759 Speaker 6: But for her individually, for her growth as a player, 1422 01:26:47,840 --> 01:26:49,400 Speaker 6: I think it's it's amazing. 1423 01:26:49,920 --> 01:26:50,160 Speaker 3: Yep. 1424 01:26:50,560 --> 01:26:56,160 Speaker 6: She left right from college into the w NBA like 1425 01:26:55,760 --> 01:26:55,960 Speaker 6: it was. 1426 01:26:56,520 --> 01:26:58,679 Speaker 5: It was like minor league based, like three weeks. 1427 01:26:59,320 --> 01:27:04,080 Speaker 2: Seriously, she that like that National championship game, Oh my goodness, 1428 01:27:04,360 --> 01:27:05,679 Speaker 2: the ratings through the roof. 1429 01:27:06,040 --> 01:27:08,479 Speaker 5: And then everyone's like, and. 1430 01:27:08,000 --> 01:27:08,920 Speaker 3: Cool, did you see it? 1431 01:27:09,000 --> 01:27:09,200 Speaker 6: One? 1432 01:27:09,280 --> 01:27:12,840 Speaker 3: Great? The draft is tomorrow and then they drafted him 1433 01:27:13,120 --> 01:27:15,920 Speaker 3: and then they're like when does they know they already started? 1434 01:27:15,960 --> 01:27:18,160 Speaker 3: They started this morning. There's a game on right now. 1435 01:27:18,160 --> 01:27:21,040 Speaker 2: It's like what she like, I would love to go 1436 01:27:21,120 --> 01:27:25,080 Speaker 2: back and look at the number of days from National 1437 01:27:25,120 --> 01:27:25,959 Speaker 2: title game. 1438 01:27:25,840 --> 01:27:30,439 Speaker 9: To the Indiana fever opener. Felt like, Terry, it felt 1439 01:27:30,479 --> 01:27:34,479 Speaker 9: like ten days. Seriously, it was like, what is happening? 1440 01:27:35,800 --> 01:27:39,559 Speaker 9: So that's a that's tough listen, and. 1441 01:27:39,520 --> 01:27:41,639 Speaker 6: So then you want to take her over to the 1442 01:27:41,720 --> 01:27:45,320 Speaker 6: may but to burn this girl completely out. 1443 01:27:44,920 --> 01:27:49,640 Speaker 2: Completely and I buy all that. I wonder what you 1444 01:27:49,680 --> 01:27:51,760 Speaker 2: think about this. Let's look at this though from the 1445 01:27:51,760 --> 01:27:55,040 Speaker 2: angle of the other players. Listen to Angel reason. Let 1446 01:27:55,080 --> 01:27:55,680 Speaker 2: me give you. 1447 01:27:56,120 --> 01:27:59,040 Speaker 9: For those of you who did not see the game today, 1448 01:27:59,720 --> 01:28:02,280 Speaker 9: I know there's been a healthy debate about it online. 1449 01:28:02,840 --> 01:28:06,400 Speaker 9: It's a hard foul. Was it an out of line foul? 1450 01:28:06,680 --> 01:28:09,680 Speaker 9: Maybe that's not even really my point in getting into this. 1451 01:28:09,760 --> 01:28:13,559 Speaker 3: But Angel Reese, on a drive to the left block 1452 01:28:13,640 --> 01:28:17,120 Speaker 3: from Caitlin Clark, went up for a block shot and 1453 01:28:17,240 --> 01:28:23,160 Speaker 3: got a healthy bit of head a face with elbow 1454 01:28:24,040 --> 01:28:27,519 Speaker 3: and did not look sorry about it, and did not 1455 01:28:27,720 --> 01:28:31,479 Speaker 3: necessarily look like she wasn't trying to get a healthy 1456 01:28:31,560 --> 01:28:35,719 Speaker 3: bit of Caitlyn Clark's face with her elbow. 1457 01:28:36,439 --> 01:28:41,240 Speaker 5: And so it goes that sports, it happens. 1458 01:28:41,720 --> 01:28:42,599 Speaker 3: Is it out of line? 1459 01:28:43,120 --> 01:28:47,240 Speaker 2: Is there discipline? That's really for another day. My interest 1460 01:28:47,320 --> 01:28:50,320 Speaker 2: right now is so what did y'all sit. 1461 01:28:50,320 --> 01:28:54,960 Speaker 3: Down and say into the microphones after the game? Take 1462 01:28:55,000 --> 01:28:56,599 Speaker 3: a listen to Angel Reese. 1463 01:28:57,320 --> 01:28:59,280 Speaker 6: I think we went up really strong a lot of times, 1464 01:28:59,280 --> 01:29:01,439 Speaker 6: and we didn't get a lot of calls. And going 1465 01:29:01,479 --> 01:29:03,400 Speaker 6: back and looking at the film, I've seen a lot 1466 01:29:03,439 --> 01:29:04,519 Speaker 6: of calls that weren't made. 1467 01:29:04,560 --> 01:29:06,160 Speaker 3: I guess some people got a special whistle. 1468 01:29:06,200 --> 01:29:15,160 Speaker 2: But okay, okay, here's the problem. I get that you're 1469 01:29:15,160 --> 01:29:19,000 Speaker 2: a competitor. I get that there's frustrations in every game, 1470 01:29:19,479 --> 01:29:24,680 Speaker 2: like that's all normal, But this is yet another. 1471 01:29:25,960 --> 01:29:32,320 Speaker 3: Rookie media mistake by Angel Reese. And Angel is welcoming 1472 01:29:32,439 --> 01:29:36,840 Speaker 3: of the villain role, so maybe she doesn't care. But 1473 01:29:37,479 --> 01:29:42,200 Speaker 3: to me, this is actually what's. 1474 01:29:41,400 --> 01:29:47,760 Speaker 2: Sort of driving this negative conversation about the WNBA. You 1475 01:29:47,880 --> 01:29:52,759 Speaker 2: can't clip someone in the temple and then go straight 1476 01:29:52,840 --> 01:29:57,160 Speaker 2: to the microphone and go, yep, she got a special whistle. 1477 01:29:58,320 --> 01:30:00,920 Speaker 5: They only call stuff when it's Caitlin. 1478 01:30:02,200 --> 01:30:02,519 Speaker 2: Girl. 1479 01:30:02,880 --> 01:30:05,360 Speaker 3: You clocked her in the temple. 1480 01:30:06,600 --> 01:30:10,040 Speaker 2: There are people on social media who think you should 1481 01:30:10,080 --> 01:30:15,479 Speaker 2: be suspended. Oh gosh, so I'm not even getting into that, 1482 01:30:16,240 --> 01:30:21,320 Speaker 2: but you've got to know that when you hit the 1483 01:30:21,360 --> 01:30:27,519 Speaker 2: press conference, because there's zero chance of you winning the 1484 01:30:27,640 --> 01:30:33,000 Speaker 2: battle of the word when there's video flying around the internet, 1485 01:30:33,040 --> 01:30:36,880 Speaker 2: and let's be real, that's all ninety eight percent of 1486 01:30:36,920 --> 01:30:40,120 Speaker 2: the people are going to see. They're just gonna see 1487 01:30:40,120 --> 01:30:44,960 Speaker 2: the clip of you whacking her upside the head, and 1488 01:30:45,000 --> 01:30:47,280 Speaker 2: then you go straight to the locker room to say, yeah, 1489 01:30:47,360 --> 01:30:50,479 Speaker 2: we lost I clocked her in the head and uh, 1490 01:30:50,720 --> 01:30:51,240 Speaker 2: we got. 1491 01:30:51,080 --> 01:30:53,760 Speaker 3: A crappy whistle because they love Caitlin and they don't 1492 01:30:53,880 --> 01:30:57,599 Speaker 3: like me. Well, look I'm a angel. You're right. 1493 01:30:57,640 --> 01:31:01,040 Speaker 6: And I watched the game and juries has a little 1494 01:31:01,040 --> 01:31:05,439 Speaker 6: bit of Luka Danta jenn her right. She does a 1495 01:31:05,439 --> 01:31:08,840 Speaker 6: lot of flopping, a lot of arguing with the refs. 1496 01:31:09,439 --> 01:31:13,759 Speaker 6: I watched her do that for the majority of the game. 1497 01:31:15,360 --> 01:31:19,080 Speaker 6: Turn talk to the ref. Team is right, Like, she 1498 01:31:19,200 --> 01:31:24,479 Speaker 6: has a lot of that in her game. She plays 1499 01:31:24,520 --> 01:31:29,240 Speaker 6: in the post. She's a big. You should expect contact, 1500 01:31:31,880 --> 01:31:35,760 Speaker 6: like literally, that's how you train as a big. You 1501 01:31:35,840 --> 01:31:39,240 Speaker 6: play through you should be able to score through the contact. 1502 01:31:41,640 --> 01:31:45,599 Speaker 6: And so I've seen her, watched her flop her body, 1503 01:31:47,760 --> 01:31:50,519 Speaker 6: you know, get a little bit of a bump and 1504 01:31:50,640 --> 01:31:54,559 Speaker 6: just fly out of bounds, so on and so forth. 1505 01:31:54,680 --> 01:31:58,880 Speaker 6: So there was a stretch there where she thought she 1506 01:31:59,000 --> 01:32:00,960 Speaker 6: got filed three four times in a row. 1507 01:32:01,400 --> 01:32:03,320 Speaker 3: Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't. 1508 01:32:03,840 --> 01:32:07,840 Speaker 6: But as a basketball player, I'm watching, like, if you're 1509 01:32:07,920 --> 01:32:17,800 Speaker 6: more under control when you're going up, uh, then you 1510 01:32:17,960 --> 01:32:21,320 Speaker 6: will get the call. But if you're going up for 1511 01:32:21,439 --> 01:32:27,960 Speaker 6: the call, then you probably aren't gonna get it. If 1512 01:32:28,000 --> 01:32:30,320 Speaker 6: you're out of control and trying to just get the 1513 01:32:30,479 --> 01:32:34,439 Speaker 6: ball up. You're probably not gonna get the benefit of 1514 01:32:34,479 --> 01:32:35,400 Speaker 6: the doubt. 1515 01:32:35,560 --> 01:32:35,960 Speaker 3: And so. 1516 01:32:37,880 --> 01:32:41,320 Speaker 6: As a player, you got to look within yourself, right, 1517 01:32:41,439 --> 01:32:45,440 Speaker 6: I played in the post, so I expected contact. 1518 01:32:46,439 --> 01:32:49,200 Speaker 3: I didn't. I thought it was gonna be contact every play. 1519 01:32:49,320 --> 01:32:51,320 Speaker 6: I mean, of course, I have a football background, so 1520 01:32:51,360 --> 01:32:56,519 Speaker 6: I was looking for the contact. But for her, I know, 1521 01:32:56,720 --> 01:32:59,839 Speaker 6: I know why she was frustrated because I watched her frustrating. 1522 01:33:00,080 --> 01:33:05,960 Speaker 6: First she had five fouls, and so I watched her, 1523 01:33:06,720 --> 01:33:13,360 Speaker 6: you know, take silly fouls. I've watched her want other 1524 01:33:13,439 --> 01:33:17,439 Speaker 6: calls that she didn't get. And so this doesn't surprise me. 1525 01:33:18,840 --> 01:33:24,160 Speaker 6: About the sound bite at the at the press conference, Yeah, oh, 1526 01:33:24,240 --> 01:33:28,360 Speaker 6: I'm not saying it surprises me you or anyone. I 1527 01:33:28,400 --> 01:33:31,760 Speaker 6: guess it's more of a suggestion to certain. 1528 01:33:33,680 --> 01:33:37,320 Speaker 2: Well and they look clearly a lot of these ladies 1529 01:33:37,479 --> 01:33:43,559 Speaker 2: feel like the world's against them. And whether that's true 1530 01:33:43,680 --> 01:33:47,400 Speaker 2: or not, right, there's all kinds of dynamics going on here, 1531 01:33:47,760 --> 01:33:53,200 Speaker 2: from race, to geography to to gender, Like all the 1532 01:33:53,240 --> 01:33:56,400 Speaker 2: normal stuff is there, and I grant that, But if 1533 01:33:56,439 --> 01:34:00,519 Speaker 2: these ladies are upset because the world's against them, you 1534 01:34:00,640 --> 01:34:02,240 Speaker 2: got to learn how to play a game a little 1535 01:34:02,280 --> 01:34:05,240 Speaker 2: bit got to learn how to play the game a 1536 01:34:05,240 --> 01:34:07,600 Speaker 2: little bit when the microphones and the cameras are on. 1537 01:34:08,680 --> 01:34:11,479 Speaker 2: And if what you're worried about, again, I don't want 1538 01:34:11,479 --> 01:34:13,880 Speaker 2: to put words in her mouth or thoughts in her head, 1539 01:34:14,760 --> 01:34:17,680 Speaker 2: but if what you're worried about is worlds against me, 1540 01:34:18,479 --> 01:34:23,000 Speaker 2: well my suggestion would be, don't go to the microphone 1541 01:34:23,040 --> 01:34:25,719 Speaker 2: when there's video of you clocking someone in the head 1542 01:34:27,040 --> 01:34:31,160 Speaker 2: very aggressively, and then after the game go we don't 1543 01:34:31,160 --> 01:34:31,839 Speaker 2: get the whistle. 1544 01:34:31,960 --> 01:34:34,120 Speaker 3: Other people get special whistle. 1545 01:34:34,680 --> 01:34:37,720 Speaker 6: Yeah, it's just this whole age I've heard. They've been 1546 01:34:37,800 --> 01:34:41,040 Speaker 6: rivals for a long time. It's gonna carry over. It's that, 1547 01:34:41,680 --> 01:34:45,439 Speaker 6: you know, not to this degree, but it's that magic 1548 01:34:45,560 --> 01:34:50,519 Speaker 6: bird type of energy where you play in college a 1549 01:34:50,600 --> 01:34:53,000 Speaker 6: bunch of times and then you come in and play 1550 01:34:53,000 --> 01:34:55,840 Speaker 6: in the league and going up against each other. The 1551 01:34:55,920 --> 01:34:59,759 Speaker 6: difference is both of these young women play on terrible teams, 1552 01:35:00,360 --> 01:35:04,360 Speaker 6: so you know, meeting in the playoffs and then they 1553 01:35:04,560 --> 01:35:08,080 Speaker 6: play on some god awful teams five and ten and 1554 01:35:10,560 --> 01:35:15,040 Speaker 6: you know, four nine or something like that. I think 1555 01:35:15,080 --> 01:35:20,280 Speaker 6: the records are they're not very competitive maybe with each other, 1556 01:35:22,840 --> 01:35:24,760 Speaker 6: which is also great, but. 1557 01:35:26,200 --> 01:35:28,080 Speaker 2: You know, you nailed the records, by the way, you 1558 01:35:28,200 --> 01:35:29,840 Speaker 2: nailed them, Like I say, I do. 1559 01:35:30,160 --> 01:35:31,960 Speaker 3: I watch Indiana Fever. 1560 01:35:32,120 --> 01:35:35,120 Speaker 2: Actually with that victory has moved into a playoffs boty. 1561 01:35:35,200 --> 01:35:37,840 Speaker 6: Oh good lord. It was only twelve teams, so yeah, 1562 01:35:37,880 --> 01:35:38,639 Speaker 6: I guess something. 1563 01:35:38,680 --> 01:35:41,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, eight teams go all right. 1564 01:35:43,000 --> 01:35:45,240 Speaker 2: I don't think he was the best of all time 1565 01:35:45,560 --> 01:35:50,280 Speaker 2: at anything, but was he the most unique of all time? 1566 01:35:51,560 --> 01:35:53,200 Speaker 5: Most memorable of all time? 1567 01:35:53,240 --> 01:35:53,640 Speaker 3: I don't know. 1568 01:35:53,720 --> 01:35:55,400 Speaker 5: We can get into that.

They don't want change. 1603 01:38:14,240 --> 01:38:17,200 Speaker 6: They don't want to bring in new producers, and like 1604 01:38:17,520 --> 01:38:21,280 Speaker 6: they have a real live thing going on over there, 1605 01:38:21,560 --> 01:38:32,240 Speaker 6: like a family, and it's tough to say, hey, I'm 1606 01:38:32,320 --> 01:38:36,439 Speaker 6: going to we're just going to move over here to 1607 01:38:36,560 --> 01:38:41,519 Speaker 6: this other network or these other producers are whatever that is, 1608 01:38:41,560 --> 01:38:43,400 Speaker 6: and we're going to do it to do the same show. 1609 01:38:43,400 --> 01:38:44,080 Speaker 6: It doesn't happen. 1610 01:38:44,160 --> 01:38:44,519 Speaker 3: Like that. 1611 01:38:46,720 --> 01:38:50,439 Speaker 6: Doesn't happen.

And it's fine, it's fine. 1614 01:39:00,520 --> 01:39:03,320 Speaker 5: Well, the interesting thing about it is, I still don't 1615 01:39:03,439 --> 01:39:04,519 Speaker 5: know even. 1616 01:39:04,400 --> 01:39:07,559 Speaker 2: Though this is one of the weirdest stories that's been building, 1617 01:39:08,800 --> 01:39:13,640 Speaker 2: which is the the end of Inside the NBA, and 1618 01:39:13,680 --> 01:39:20,839 Speaker 2: it's like, it's still not double triple, quadruple official, and 1619 01:39:21,080 --> 01:39:24,719 Speaker 2: even though it feels that way, and then here comes 1620 01:39:24,800 --> 01:39:27,960 Speaker 2: Charles with, well, I'm leaving no matter what the hell happens. 1621 01:39:28,800 --> 01:39:32,080 Speaker 2: And so now I'm like, well, now I don't I 1622 01:39:32,120 --> 01:39:34,639 Speaker 2: don't care as much if Inside the NBA is going 1623 01:39:34,640 --> 01:39:36,760 Speaker 2: away next year or not, because it's going away no 1624 01:39:36,800 --> 01:39:39,479 Speaker 2: matter what. So, in other words, even if the NBA 1625 01:39:39,560 --> 01:39:42,920 Speaker 2: stayed on TNT, if Charles is not there, well, and 1626 01:39:43,160 --> 01:39:47,519 Speaker 2: that's rop that that that there's no there are certain 1627 01:39:47,600 --> 01:39:50,680 Speaker 2: people and it's not even me sitting here saying that 1628 01:39:50,760 --> 01:39:55,160 Speaker 2: I'm like the biggest Charles Barkley on TV fan in 1629 01:39:55,520 --> 01:40:01,400 Speaker 2: the world. That's Steu, that pot of soup. Those four guys. 1630 01:40:02,680 --> 01:40:06,479 Speaker 2: I don't think there's really any replacing any Oh, absolutely not, 1631 01:40:07,760 --> 01:40:11,320 Speaker 2: like it's a package deal and they're either all there 1632 01:40:11,680 --> 01:40:13,400 Speaker 2: or I'm sorry, it's dead. 1633 01:40:13,560 --> 01:40:20,000 Speaker 3: Like even even Kenny whatever, Ernie shack the whole thing. 1634 01:40:20,080 --> 01:40:22,240 Speaker 2: All you got to do is go watch Kevin Hart's 1635 01:40:22,320 --> 01:40:27,600 Speaker 2: spoof of the whole thing, and and he's able to 1636 01:40:27,640 --> 01:40:32,640 Speaker 2: sort of pluck what sort of makes each guy quintessentially 1637 01:40:32,760 --> 01:40:36,080 Speaker 2: them and add it to his spoof. 1638 01:40:36,240 --> 01:40:38,439 Speaker 3: And because he can do that, that tells me. 1639 01:40:38,439 --> 01:40:45,400 Speaker 2: That that show doesn't live without any of them. So 1640 01:40:45,640 --> 01:40:50,080 Speaker 2: if Chuck is leaving, then it just to me felt like, 1641 01:40:50,120 --> 01:40:52,760 Speaker 2: well now we can just shrug our shoulders. I don't 1642 01:40:52,840 --> 01:40:57,320 Speaker 2: care where the NBA ends up in terms of broadcast rights. 1643 01:40:57,760 --> 01:40:59,679 Speaker 3: If Chuck is leaving, the show is over anyway. 1644 01:41:01,320 --> 01:41:03,639 Speaker 6: Yeah, it's it's it's a show that you know, it's 1645 01:41:03,680 --> 01:41:07,120 Speaker 6: not duplicated, and if if Charles doesn't want to be 1646 01:41:07,120 --> 01:41:10,040 Speaker 6: a part of it, then they can they'll move on. 1647 01:41:12,240 --> 01:41:18,920 Speaker 6: So you know, it's it's a sad day because we 1648 01:41:19,040 --> 01:41:22,160 Speaker 6: all look forward to it. 1649 01:41:22,160 --> 01:41:26,839 Speaker 2: It's it's a sad day. But he also he certainly 1650 01:41:26,920 --> 01:41:29,559 Speaker 2: left a mark. Not not every not everybody's able to 1651 01:41:29,600 --> 01:41:32,479 Speaker 2: do this, Like there's a lot of you can't get 1652 01:41:32,520 --> 01:41:35,639 Speaker 2: away with doing on air what Chuck does on air, 1653 01:41:35,760 --> 01:41:38,160 Speaker 2: like he's able to do it because he's Chuck. Yes, 1654 01:41:38,800 --> 01:41:41,360 Speaker 2: but if you look at what has happened to sports 1655 01:41:41,400 --> 01:41:46,280 Speaker 2: broadcast media in the last decade, you could argue that 1656 01:41:46,280 --> 01:41:50,920 Speaker 2: that that Chuck is paved away more than he gets 1657 01:41:51,000 --> 01:41:58,120 Speaker 2: credit for. The straight shooting, the authenticity, the push the 1658 01:41:58,160 --> 01:42:01,280 Speaker 2: line not always perfect by. 1659 01:42:01,200 --> 01:42:04,800 Speaker 3: Any stretch, by unapologetic yep, yep. 1660 01:42:04,960 --> 01:42:10,519 Speaker 2: And that's that's what has risen to the forefront, don't 1661 01:42:10,520 --> 01:42:11,120 Speaker 2: you think. 1662 01:42:11,080 --> 01:42:17,760 Speaker 6: Yes, yes, it's something refreshing about someone speaking their mind, 1663 01:42:17,800 --> 01:42:22,439 Speaker 6: whether you agree about it, you know, agree with it, 1664 01:42:22,640 --> 01:42:23,880 Speaker 6: especially in sports, you know. 1665 01:42:26,120 --> 01:42:30,040 Speaker 2: And and when I think unapologetic, I think Steve Desager. 1666 01:42:30,200 --> 01:42:33,679 Speaker 2: I don't know about you, but that's the first name 1667 01:42:33,720 --> 01:42:34,880 Speaker 2: that always comes to mind. 1668 01:42:34,920 --> 01:42:37,840 Speaker 3: I'm like, that guy's never apologizing for anything. Why would 1669 01:42:37,880 --> 01:42:38,520 Speaker 3: he apologize? 1670 01:42:38,760 --> 01:42:42,200 Speaker 10: All right, yeah, yeah, maybe we already spoke our minds. 1671 01:42:42,240 --> 01:42:44,920 Speaker 10: By the way, on the NBA TV topic on last 1672 01:42:45,000 --> 01:42:49,400 Speaker 10: night's show, when after your discussion here properly of what's 1673 01:42:49,439 --> 01:42:53,560 Speaker 10: been done for years with the NBA on TNT in studio, 1674 01:42:54,080 --> 01:42:58,080 Speaker 10: Compare that to the direk that ESPN slash ABC has 1675 01:42:58,120 --> 01:43:01,840 Speaker 10: been offering the basketball fan, especially in the finals Yeah, 1676 01:43:02,439 --> 01:43:03,440 Speaker 10: is no comparison. 1677 01:43:03,920 --> 01:43:07,200 Speaker 2: I don't know who the I don't know who it is. 1678 01:43:07,720 --> 01:43:10,080 Speaker 2: It's a different group of people.

But I wondered, if you wanted to, if 1782 01:48:43,640 --> 01:48:49,680 Speaker 2: you wanted to go to this game, what would it 1783 01:48:49,760 --> 01:48:52,040 Speaker 2: now cost for those who have already made And I 1784 01:48:52,080 --> 01:48:54,080 Speaker 2: wonder if that maybe there's a rule those who have 1785 01:48:54,200 --> 01:48:56,000 Speaker 2: the tickets aren't allowed to put them on the on 1786 01:48:56,080 --> 01:48:57,080 Speaker 2: the secondary market. 1787 01:48:57,120 --> 01:48:59,879 Speaker 10: I don't know, it would be hard to hard to police. 1788 01:49:00,760 --> 01:49:02,960 Speaker 3: It would be very, very hard hard. 1789 01:49:03,040 --> 01:49:07,799 Speaker 10: I've seen on the on the online for the minor 1790 01:49:07,880 --> 01:49:10,560 Speaker 10: league game starting at sixty five dollars Tuesday. 1791 01:49:11,720 --> 01:49:15,960 Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, I just I wondered that because again, there 1792 01:49:15,960 --> 01:49:21,599 Speaker 2: are so few available. I like, I've had this thing 1793 01:49:21,760 --> 01:49:25,719 Speaker 2: circled for six months that I was hoping to somehow 1794 01:49:25,760 --> 01:49:28,799 Speaker 2: be there for this baseball game. It's not going to happen, 1795 01:49:29,479 --> 01:49:33,200 Speaker 2: but it was a dream. And man, this is going 1796 01:49:33,280 --> 01:49:38,320 Speaker 2: to be a very very unique look for Major League baseball. 1797 01:49:38,520 --> 01:49:41,320 Speaker 10: Okay, So if you go to the very much secondary 1798 01:49:41,520 --> 01:49:44,360 Speaker 10: ticket market having nothing to do with Major League Baseball. 1799 01:49:44,439 --> 01:49:46,759 Speaker 10: I'm seeing four to six hundred dollars. 1800 01:49:48,080 --> 01:49:51,280 Speaker 3: I'm surprised there's not more. I'm still not bad. Yeah, 1801 01:49:51,360 --> 01:49:53,160 Speaker 3: that's not bad at all. I don't know what a 1802 01:49:53,200 --> 01:49:55,479 Speaker 3: flight to Birmingham costs from the West coast. 1803 01:49:55,560 --> 01:49:57,800 Speaker 6: We got to take a flight and a train, had 1804 01:49:57,880 --> 01:50:00,960 Speaker 6: to get a horse and buggy, find a place to stay. 1805 01:50:01,040 --> 01:50:03,760 Speaker 10: Realize that the worst seat in this place would be 1806 01:50:03,840 --> 01:50:07,360 Speaker 10: I mean there's almost no outfield seats. Seats curve around 1807 01:50:07,400 --> 01:50:10,240 Speaker 10: the right field pole, so somewhere around there is four hundred. 1808 01:50:09,920 --> 01:50:12,840 Speaker 3: Bucks there you go. Yeah, and there's no upper deck. 1809 01:50:13,160 --> 01:50:17,400 Speaker 2: Like I don't know from I don't know if you're 1810 01:50:17,520 --> 01:50:20,439 Speaker 2: you know, you've you've had your relationship with baseball that 1811 01:50:20,439 --> 01:50:21,719 Speaker 2: we've talked about this year. 1812 01:50:23,280 --> 01:50:25,320 Speaker 5: How do you feel about this event? You locking in 1813 01:50:25,400 --> 01:50:25,920 Speaker 5: on this one? 1814 01:50:27,120 --> 01:50:29,559 Speaker 3: I like it? I mean, am I going? But am 1815 01:50:29,560 --> 01:50:30,240 Speaker 3: I trying to know? 1816 01:50:30,360 --> 01:50:32,120 Speaker 2: I mean, like, well, you this is gonna be a 1817 01:50:32,280 --> 01:50:35,280 Speaker 2: national broadcast on Fox. I wonder if this is something 1818 01:50:35,280 --> 01:50:37,960 Speaker 2: that you'll lock into on Thursday night. 1819 01:50:38,160 --> 01:50:40,400 Speaker 3: NBA is gonna be all over starting tomorrow. 1820 01:50:40,200 --> 01:50:43,760 Speaker 6: Night, So yeah, I will, I will watch it just 1821 01:50:43,800 --> 01:50:47,559 Speaker 6: because of the historic nature of it. I think it's awesome. 1822 01:50:48,160 --> 01:50:52,000 Speaker 6: But yes, yeah, I'm gonna watch that. It's not it's 1823 01:50:52,080 --> 01:50:54,599 Speaker 6: not a lot on what w NBA games on that night, 1824 01:50:54,920 --> 01:50:55,320 Speaker 6: I mean. 1825 01:50:57,760 --> 01:50:59,559 Speaker 3: That zone. I don't know. 1826 01:50:59,760 --> 01:51:02,559 Speaker 2: I don't know, but yeah, this this is gonna be 1827 01:51:02,640 --> 01:51:06,760 Speaker 2: a very very interesting one and something that the Major 1828 01:51:06,840 --> 01:51:10,160 Speaker 2: League Baseball has been sort of trying to move toward 1829 01:51:10,760 --> 01:51:12,800 Speaker 2: in you know, building toward this. 1830 01:51:12,960 --> 01:51:16,640 Speaker 5: I know that they they activated all of the Negro. 1831 01:51:16,439 --> 01:51:20,960 Speaker 2: League stats recently and and added them in. I thought that, 1832 01:51:21,040 --> 01:51:23,479 Speaker 2: you know, I I get that pieces of that were 1833 01:51:23,640 --> 01:51:27,960 Speaker 2: a little bit clunky and and and whatnot, but overall, 1834 01:51:28,400 --> 01:51:32,080 Speaker 2: I think that that those and as Steeve said, those 1835 01:51:32,080 --> 01:51:34,120 Speaker 2: who actually played in the league who are still with 1836 01:51:34,240 --> 01:51:38,040 Speaker 2: us seemed to be touched by this. 1837 01:51:38,280 --> 01:51:41,320 Speaker 3: In full support of this, and uh and I'm gonna 1838 01:51:41,400 --> 01:51:43,280 Speaker 3: use them as a as a guide. 1839 01:51:45,200 --> 01:51:48,200 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think it's great. You know, some of the 1840 01:51:48,200 --> 01:51:55,080 Speaker 6: greatest UH baseball players of all time, you know, didn't 1841 01:51:55,080 --> 01:52:00,519 Speaker 6: get an opportunity to play in the majors. Yep, Like seriously, 1842 01:52:01,640 --> 01:52:08,840 Speaker 6: some of the greatest, and most people don't, you know, 1843 01:52:08,920 --> 01:52:16,000 Speaker 6: especially the younger generation, don't really understand, uh that that fact, 1844 01:52:17,680 --> 01:52:22,320 Speaker 6: and I think I think it's it's wonderful that Major 1845 01:52:22,400 --> 01:52:26,000 Speaker 6: League Baseball is actually paying homage and and and bringing 1846 01:52:26,560 --> 01:52:30,080 Speaker 6: much needed notoriety to these players. 1847 01:52:31,439 --> 01:52:34,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree with you. This was not some secondary league. 1848 01:52:34,600 --> 01:52:40,919 Speaker 2: This was obviously coming from uh just uh social unrest 1849 01:52:41,000 --> 01:52:44,920 Speaker 2: through the history of our nation. But these players, I 1850 01:52:45,439 --> 01:52:47,720 Speaker 2: have no doubt in my mind that some of the 1851 01:52:47,760 --> 01:52:52,080 Speaker 2: actual greatest players on earth were in that league and 1852 01:52:52,120 --> 01:52:54,519 Speaker 2: never were allowed in the in the Major League Baseball. 1853 01:52:54,640 --> 01:52:57,599 Speaker 2: So uh, this would be an interesting look on Thursday, 1854 01:52:57,640 --> 01:52:58,000 Speaker 2: for sure. 1855 01:52:58,040 --> 01:53:01,120 Speaker 5: We're live in the Tirak doc Studios. 1856 01:53:01,120 --> 01:53:03,599 Speaker 2: Mark Wheler, E F from Salam, coming up some final 1857 01:53:03,640 --> 01:53:07,519 Speaker 2: thoughts and a happy Father's Day to all on Fox 1858 01:53:07,520 --> 01:53:13,040 Speaker 2: Sports Radio.

So gosh, 1931 01:57:24,080 --> 01:57:27,720 Speaker 2: I was thinking about that. I just saw the highlight 1932 01:57:27,840 --> 01:57:30,160 Speaker 2: as we were hanging out there during the break of 1933 01:57:30,280 --> 01:57:36,360 Speaker 2: the uh speaking of the break the Mookie bets broken hand. Yeah, 1934 01:57:36,400 --> 01:57:38,800 Speaker 2: are you a little surprised that? And I want to 1935 01:57:38,800 --> 01:57:41,920 Speaker 2: be very careful how I asked this, But are you 1936 01:57:41,920 --> 01:57:43,760 Speaker 2: a little surprised the Dodgers aren't better? 1937 01:57:44,040 --> 01:57:47,840 Speaker 3: Yes? Yeah, they're good. They're very good. They're good. They're 1938 01:57:47,920 --> 01:57:49,680 Speaker 3: very good. They're forty four and twenty nine. 1939 01:57:50,960 --> 01:57:53,200 Speaker 2: But you're a little surprised they the best run differential 1940 01:57:53,240 --> 01:57:57,440 Speaker 2: in the National League. They also largely play National League 1941 01:57:57,480 --> 01:58:05,520 Speaker 2: teams who are largely awful, mostly all of them one, two, three, 1942 01:58:05,680 --> 01:58:13,760 Speaker 2: four teams are over five hundred four Phillies, Braves, Brewers, Dodgers, 1943 01:58:14,840 --> 01:58:19,360 Speaker 2: that's it. Are a little surprised they're. 1944 01:58:19,200 --> 01:58:21,720 Speaker 3: Not better, Yeah, I am. 1945 01:58:21,800 --> 01:58:26,120 Speaker 6: But like at we said, long season, and they can 1946 01:58:26,200 --> 01:58:28,280 Speaker 6: hit their stride and they can rattle off. Well, I 1947 01:58:28,280 --> 01:58:31,000 Speaker 6: don't know Mookie going down, he's gonna be off for 1948 01:58:31,080 --> 01:58:31,840 Speaker 6: quite some time. 1949 01:58:32,040 --> 01:58:34,400 Speaker 2: Well, that's kind of why I'm asking, because they're they're 1950 01:58:34,440 --> 01:58:37,000 Speaker 2: they're they're about to get I would think a little 1951 01:58:37,000 --> 01:58:37,480 Speaker 2: bit worse. 1952 01:58:37,800 --> 01:58:42,080 Speaker 6: Well, they just need more production out of the bottom 1953 01:58:42,120 --> 01:58:46,280 Speaker 6: of the order at the plate. Now, if they if 1954 01:58:46,320 --> 01:58:51,480 Speaker 6: they can get more production out of those guys, you know, six, seven, 1955 01:58:51,520 --> 01:58:58,040 Speaker 6: eight nine, then you know you can't have the top 1956 01:58:58,080 --> 01:59:03,640 Speaker 6: of your order trying to carry you. And baseball is 1957 01:59:03,640 --> 01:59:07,840 Speaker 6: is is a game of failure. There are slumps, there's 1958 01:59:07,920 --> 01:59:11,480 Speaker 6: all kinds of things. The season is long enough for 1959 01:59:11,600 --> 01:59:14,160 Speaker 6: you to navigate, to go in, to go out of it, 1960 01:59:14,720 --> 01:59:17,560 Speaker 6: all of those things. So they have time to hit 1961 01:59:17,600 --> 01:59:20,680 Speaker 6: a stride and really get going. Hold this thing off 1962 01:59:20,800 --> 01:59:26,520 Speaker 6: till Mookie comes back. That's a pretty good fracture. So 1963 01:59:26,560 --> 01:59:29,040 Speaker 6: we'll see what that looks like in that time table. 1964 01:59:30,320 --> 01:59:32,360 Speaker 5: I mean, they've got an eight game lead in the division. 1965 01:59:32,400 --> 01:59:35,880 Speaker 3: It's not like the division though, you know, not worried 1966 01:59:35,920 --> 01:59:36,400 Speaker 3: about him. 1967 01:59:36,840 --> 01:59:41,440 Speaker 2: Yes, it's it's a little interesting that they don't feel 1968 01:59:41,640 --> 01:59:43,880 Speaker 2: a little more dynamic than they do. 1969 01:59:44,080 --> 01:59:45,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I would, I could. 1970 01:59:45,960 --> 01:59:50,040 Speaker 6: I'll pay money to see that Dodgers Yankees series every weekend. 1971 01:59:50,240 --> 01:59:53,680 Speaker 14: So that was pretty good, if only it was actually 1972 01:59:53,680 --> 01:59:58,320 Speaker 14: gonna happen, if only, if only. Happy Father's Day, brother, 1973 01:59:58,520 --> 02:00:01,240 Speaker 14: serious man, yep, Happy Father's Day to you too. 1974 02:00:01,280 --> 02:00:05,760 Speaker 9: Man, I appreciate the keep up the good work, like 1975 02:00:05,880 --> 02:00:09,200 Speaker 9: Plank and spani your two, even those guys, Happy Father's Day.
