1
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 1: Welcome back all the smoke, Episode ten. Yes, finishing out

2
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 1: the new year. Man, we're about to get into the

3
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 1: decade of two thousand ten to two thousand twenties and

4
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:22,279
Speaker 1: how wild and transcending it was for the game of

5
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 1: basketball where we were in the mix of all this

6
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 1: and we're gonna sit back and have fun and remin

7
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: that's a little bit. I'm cool, you're ready to do that.

8
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:34,840
Speaker 1: Good to see you. Man' been on a little buddy down.

9
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 1: Yeah you mean it's because code out here took my jacket.

10
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 1: This most take your hat out real quick. Oh you

11
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: ain't got just like when you ain't got no hang

12
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: it's coming. You know, you look like one of the

13
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: badass little kids. Like you're a little badass little kids.

14
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: But it's taking me back to it's taking me. You know,

15
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: last time I had my hair like this, I was

16
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,959
Speaker 1: going to in the stands. Be careful? Do you care

17
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: for alright? Man? So let's jump right into this two

18
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 1: thousand and ten Man, I was third. It's crazy though,

19
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 1: cause we go decade by decade, Like I was born

20
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty, so every decade I'm I'm jumping into

21
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: a whole new you know, set a number, so I'm

22
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 1: pulling up on forty one, forty two. Yeah. So the

23
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 1: two thousand ten season, where were you at ten? I

24
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: was who knows, Charlotte maybe, Yeah, that's right. I left

25
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: the Orlando going to the Lakers and we beat you

26
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: guys in the in the playoffs that year. So this

27
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 1: is where you know we start. We pick up with Lebron.

28
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: This is Lebron losing to the Celtics two out of

29
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 1: three years and in the tunnel takes off his jersey.

30
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: You knew it was over. I think everyone thought something

31
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: was going on as a fresh Dade where you been

32
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: playing basketball all day, you can't win the game and

33
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: you're playing good with your team, So are you just

34
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: god quit? I just had enough that takes us to

35
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 1: the decision. I love the fact that Lebron pretty much

36
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: changed the landscape of basketball from a standpoint of a

37
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: player finally being empowered to do what he wants to do.

38
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: So often we know it's a business, so when teams

39
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,679
Speaker 1: cut us, trade us, wave us, don't play us, funk

40
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 1: us somehow because with the business. But when players start

41
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: taking control of their narrative and and doing what it's

42
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: best for them, in their brand and their family. They're

43
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: the bad gut of the villain. I think the only

44
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: to me, the only place he made a mistake was

45
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: drawn that long as sitting down. It just I'm gone,

46
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 1: you know, or just to me, he could have tightened

47
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: it up. It should have been a spectacle. It could

48
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: it could have just been more of like, hey, you know,

49
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: I decided to, you know, make this new move to Miami.

50
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: You know what I mean. I agree with you on

51
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: that too. But like for what he's done for so

52
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: many players, like I just love the fact that he

53
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 1: did it his way. Like I'm not mad at it.

54
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 1: I'm at it if I was in braun shoes and

55
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 1: that I could imagine robe out showed a rose raw security. Oh,

56
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: it's like, man, chill out, men. You know what I said,

57
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: I've been doing a little thing walking down for thirty

58
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: chains on Like then listens, I know y'all want to

59
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 1: know what I'm doing. You know, out of did I

60
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: did that times? Tim? Like I said, I'm not mad.

61
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: I just think to me it could have just it

62
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: rubbed some people the wrong way. But I think the

63
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: moment overall was amazing for athletes and when they let

64
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 1: me know something about Lebron. He don't give a funk

65
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: with nobody think Bro, That's why I love it. You

66
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: don't give a funk. I'm gonna do it my way.

67
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: I know. I could go out there and who everybody asked,

68
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: and hey, y'all can love it and leave it. You

69
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: got to take it. And when everybody was watching, I

70
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: mean even me, I'm sitting there watching where are you going?

71
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: Where he going? He had the whole world watching. Bro.

72
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 1: That was super bad. I'm not mad. Boys and Girls

73
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: Club or something like that. It ended up ended up

74
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: being away. He was giving back at the same time.

75
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, what people didn't know. He

76
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: always make it work. But anyway, so this is the

77
00:03:55,960 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: beginning of super teams. This is a swing and the

78
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: historical build through the draft and and hopefully get some

79
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: good trades to build your team. This is superstars leaving

80
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 1: their respective teams and building a team. Um. It was.

81
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: It was scary though, because when when when Braun first

82
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 1: went to Miami, everybody was like, oh my god, they've

83
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: been dominated and they lose the first year. You know

84
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 1: what I'm saying to me, like what it is just

85
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 1: big three ships even gonna work, you know what I'm saying.

86
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: But time right, Like we always talk about chemistry, and

87
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: like I said, could always look good on paper, but

88
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: you got to get that chemistry down. I think they

89
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 1: learned from that. That was the year I was with

90
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: the Lakers. I tore my knee going into the playoffs.

91
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: We were going for a three pet Dallas beat the

92
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: dog shit out of us, swept us, Jason Terry here

93
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 1: like ten threes in one game, and then they ended

94
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 1: up beating ya, Lebron and them and uh in the

95
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: finals Dirk only Chip, Yeah, that's the one die. Ye.

96
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:55,919
Speaker 1: Those were good times. I wasn't in the two thousand

97
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: times that. We'll get to that another time. Um. It's

98
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: also kind of the be getting of of of social

99
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 1: activism to speak to, you know, coming up in the

100
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,279
Speaker 1: years ahead of that, that's when Uh, I think Lebron

101
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 1: in the whole Miami Heat team had the trade on

102
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: Martin hoodies on and the Eric Gardner I can't breathe.

103
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: I think it was the following year, so I think

104
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: that was kind of the first time him opening those doors,

105
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 1: like I said, for the rest of us. I think

106
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: with his move to Miami, he opened up for players

107
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: to kind of take control, and then with his lead,

108
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: he kind of opened up our platform to kind of

109
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 1: speak more on social events, not just sports, and things

110
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: that we really feel that are near and dear. Time

111
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: that one was the last time the face of the

112
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: NBA did that. I led that, the face of sports

113
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: led it. That's what I'm saying. When when was the last?

114
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: Definitely was so big superstar I think we've ever had,

115
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: and in any sport. I think it's come because he

116
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 1: really comes from it, right. It ain't too many superstars

117
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,479
Speaker 1: that actually come from the mud don't really come from it,

118
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And I think he sees

119
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: things different. I wish people would just kind of understand,

120
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: even though not just Lebron, but you know great players.

121
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: I think we get so caught up in we're in

122
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 1: the social media world, so you you're riding for your

123
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: team or you want to just hate on guys instead

124
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,479
Speaker 1: of sitting back and realize, like you're witnessing history with

125
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 1: some of these guys. But k D with Staff, for Lebron,

126
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 1: with Kobe, and then it's crazy you see more slammer

127
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 1: than you just not that they need praise or look

128
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:21,479
Speaker 1: for praise, but just you see more hate than you

129
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 1: see love, not really realizing and in a moment of

130
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,039
Speaker 1: time when we look back on it's for fifty sixty

131
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: seven years old, like we witness some of the greatest

132
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 1: players ever to play this game. I'll think about it

133
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: a lot because not not have ten times when somebody

134
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: asked me about basketball, they're asking me about Tim Duncan.

135
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 1: Said yeah, I said, I said, you're not out at

136
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 1: ten times. Not out at ten times when people ask

137
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 1: me about basketball, they asked me about Tim Duncan. Siries,

138
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,679
Speaker 1: I'll tell you about it later. Yeah, but Tim Duncan

139
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 1: is you know people ask me about Tim Duncan like

140
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: this is the best power for them all time in

141
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: my mind. You know it might not be to everybody,

142
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: but to be able to play with him and him

143
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 1: to embrace me, to see him on let's get a

144
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,679
Speaker 1: quadruple double all the way through the playoffs into the finals,

145
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,599
Speaker 1: like that stuff with Special Man, and even to come

146
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: in to see for to play against Jay Kid at

147
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: that time in the finals, like wow, like he was unbelievable. Bro.

148
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: I think we just get it. We get a different

149
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: perspective objects because we're out there doing it. But I

150
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 1: mean we see the greatest and understand how hard it

151
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: is to do what they're doing. But I think from

152
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: the outside looking in, we just live in the day

153
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: and time where it's it's it's almost weak to show love,

154
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: or to show respect, or or to pray someone. It's

155
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: just a lot easier people think to just hate on people.

156
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: It's so it's so much easy. And that's the gift

157
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: in the curse from social media. You know, it's a

158
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: lot of players such as ourselves to who were labeled

159
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 1: one way in the game to show the world we are.

160
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: You know, we both were just talking about this off camera.

161
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: That definitely that we've been able to grow a brand

162
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: that's going to be much bigger than our basketball brand,

163
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 1: you know, post career, and that's because of social media

164
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: and the way we could really kind of we're both

165
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: labeled this thugs, gang bangers, bad this, bad that. But

166
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: the one thing we both always had in common with

167
00:07:58,120 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: our teammates loved us, you know. I mean, so it

168
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: was just a misconception and what the world thought I

169
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: thought we were, you know back in the day when

170
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: we you know, coming into this this decade, there wasn't

171
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: really social media, you know what I mean. Like Twitter

172
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: had just kind of started going in their own and

173
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 1: we didn't really have much of a voice, you know

174
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 1: what I mean. So if the media painted us one way,

175
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 1: that's what we were, you know what I mean. And

176
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 1: I think that the emergence of social media has given

177
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: us outlets and giving us all platforms, but also growing

178
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 1: the game tremendously to make it what it is today

179
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 1: and for guys to make the money it is today.

180
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: I think a lot has to do with social media

181
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 1: and guys growing their brands. It's a gifting the curse

182
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: though definitely. You know. It was one of the high

183
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 1: school kid his name is Dio on Instagram, and he

184
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: was talking about how some of these blogs be making

185
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: certain players look good and blowing them up, and then

186
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 1: when they step up to him like they really ain't

187
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: that good. He said, you don't. He don't even want

188
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: to be on you want to you don't want to

189
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: be a part of that, you know what I'm saying.

190
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,079
Speaker 1: He wanted he want to stay real, And a lot

191
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: of kids these days were like in the NBA, the

192
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: get caught up in the social media world. It ain't

193
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: real what they and and and and they feel like

194
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: they sudden they're not you know what'cause they reallyn't even

195
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:09,079
Speaker 1: have to earn a spot no more. I've heard this

196
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 1: from me, and they player like, God, young guys don't

197
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: even show up early no more. A lot of this

198
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: stuff has changed, and it's because of social media. They

199
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,559
Speaker 1: got them feeling themselves, Oh my goodness, super confident and

200
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 1: a million followers is over touch back onto. It was

201
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 1: a big thing, like I said, kind of piggybacking on

202
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:26,959
Speaker 1: the off the social media platform. When Lebron Wade CPM

203
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 1: mellow uh spoke up at the piece, you know, just

204
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: kind of speaking on all the violence and and and

205
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: the killings in the in the senseless acts that we

206
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 1: continue to watch day by day, and I think that

207
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 1: was huge. Like I said, having kids, we know that

208
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 1: it just kind of resonates when athletes said, you know

209
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: so before sure, but then there's no question then for

210
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: But I just think, you know, when we start using

211
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: our voice, our voices heard around the world, you know,

212
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: and that's the kind of attention I think we need

213
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: you to continue to bring to the bullshit that was

214
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 1: happening in the streets with the unjust killings and just

215
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 1: where we were as a society. So, like I said,

216
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: you continue to thank these guys for using their platform

217
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:06,719
Speaker 1: and opening up these doors. We could jump into a

218
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 1: situation too, but both of us kind of went through.

219
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: Donald Sterling. You mean, this is to the two thousand thirteen,

220
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 1: two thousand and fourteen season. You know, I was with

221
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 1: were obviously the Clippers. We felt like, you know, we

222
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 1: had created a new vibe over there and we really

223
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: had a chance to win the championship. So you know,

224
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 1: if you if you keep in mind, we were the

225
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 1: last team to kind of beat the Warriors before they

226
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: had their dynasty run, you know, so we felt like

227
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 1: we had some special we kept, you know, getting each

228
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: other's way. That's another time. But something that happened during

229
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 1: the playoffs that year was the tapes dropped it Downald Sterling,

230
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 1: and you were on our team for a little bit

231
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: that right before that happened. But you know, you took

232
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: it one crazy way, and we talked about it off

233
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:48,719
Speaker 1: camera that I even know how you felt, because we

234
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: hadn't really talked about it because you've already gone by

235
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: the time you hit and then we took it one way.

236
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: But tell me how you took it like I was

237
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,319
Speaker 1: already at the end of my career, you know what

238
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 1: I mean? And I think need be. So you was

239
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: on some n w A ship I was. I was

240
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 1: on my black Panther ship anyway. But being cut cut

241
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: before that happened, it was a blessing in disguise. Oh

242
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: my goodness, because I would have I was just left

243
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 1: the team. I wouldn't showed up. I wouldn't show up

244
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 1: to the more games I would have been. I would

245
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: have been outside of the fans, burning the jerseys. Oh

246
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:20,559
Speaker 1: all that too, burning trees, for sure. But I have

247
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 1: been burning all the joys I've been. I've been protesting too,

248
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 1: but I've been I've just heard as the fans. You

249
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 1: made a song with face though, didn't you. I made

250
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 1: a song called America the Beautiful about the whole situation.

251
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 1: How I felt, you know, I felt. I was like,

252
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: is it a quarter as a cotton field? And that's

253
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:36,680
Speaker 1: that's how he made it look about, you know, And

254
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 1: it was it was just upsetting to me, knowing how

255
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 1: much we played the game, you know, how much we

256
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 1: love the game. To know that somebody that you know

257
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 1: that that's benefiting off what we love to do feels

258
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,439
Speaker 1: like that about it, you know what I mean, real

259
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: quick product. But where can they find that song? America

260
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 1: the Beautiful. You can find that on iTunes and you

261
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 1: can find it YouTube. We need to set a statement,

262
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 1: scar face, scarface plug your ship and begging to get

263
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 1: them download and trying to get you them download. We

264
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 1: took it different, you know what I mean. And I

265
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,559
Speaker 1: think you know, the ship hit like out the blue.

266
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: We're in Golden State right before game four, you know,

267
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 1: and and then Lincoln we found on social media, and

268
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: my reaction I think was different from other people's reaction.

269
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,959
Speaker 1: But like I touched on on on that shown episode

270
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,599
Speaker 1: last time we're here, I faced real racism, you know

271
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 1: what I mean, Like Mannekins died nigger swasticks all over

272
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 1: my school. Like I faced real racism. So they here

273
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 1: old A's rich white man say speak to to the

274
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 1: black culture that way. It didn't really trip me out because,

275
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: like I said, like you just touched on, He's definitely

276
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 1: not the only one that thought that when he was

277
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 1: the only one dumb enough to get to get caught

278
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: by a snake of a a snake, a rat neck

279
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: ass goat mouth as woman who was dealing. Yeah, man,

280
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 1: you know what I means. So to me, it didn't

281
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,680
Speaker 1: really trip me out. So like we as we kind

282
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:03,559
Speaker 1: of start, you know, kind of start spreading, like well

283
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:04,959
Speaker 1: if are texting each other, like yo, this ship just

284
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 1: really happened. He just said that ship and so we

285
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 1: you know, next next day we come in and Doc

286
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 1: handled it beautifully. I think this is the first thing

287
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:13,680
Speaker 1: for the new commissioner, the first thing on the new

288
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 1: Commissioner's plate, and then this is our first year with Doc,

289
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 1: and Doc was the shield for our team, doctors just like, hey,

290
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,079
Speaker 1: you know, first he thought, he asked what we thought,

291
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 1: and when everyone kind of expressed our opinion, he said,

292
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 1: whatever you do, kind of do it together. But then

293
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 1: Doctors kind of the shield for our team like he wanted,

294
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 1: you know. He obviously everyone knew it was the worst

295
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 1: time to have this ship drop, but he was the

296
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 1: only one to talk to the medi about it. He

297
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 1: addressed all the questions and we were just allowed to

298
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: go out there and try to focus, try to play.

299
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: We heard hell of ship. You know, you guys shouldn't play,

300
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 1: You should boycott. How can you play for a racist owner?

301
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 1: How can you do this? How can you do that?

302
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 1: And I'm thinking, like, y'all know, I mean, first of all,

303
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 1: we feel like we have a good enough team to

304
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: win the championship. But yeah, you know what I mean.

305
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 1: So they say something, are you just not gonna go

306
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 1: to work? You know what I mean? So, like I said,

307
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,719
Speaker 1: it was never we were never playing for Sterling. We

308
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,080
Speaker 1: were always playing for us and trying to build our

309
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 1: own tradition. They're trying to get the Clippers, you know,

310
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,960
Speaker 1: from being a doormat to a respectable team. So we

311
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 1: got all kinds of crazy you guys should do this,

312
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: you guys should do that. But we just sat down

313
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: and talked, and we threw ideas out there, and I

314
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 1: actually came up with, you know, let's flip our ships

315
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 1: inside out and when we get out there, thomb on

316
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 1: the ground and kind of just let everyone know. We

317
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 1: know what he said was wrong, what he did was wrong,

318
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 1: but we have a bigger goal. And then never had

319
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 1: anything to do with him from the beginning. You think

320
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 1: that just that however, and over y'all pay no. I mean,

321
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 1: we got our asses blowing out in game four, if

322
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken, but we ended up winning the

323
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 1: series and seven and then we were up three one

324
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 1: against Houston and we tricked that off. So I don't

325
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 1: think you know, it was noise, but it was. You

326
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 1: can't blame us tricking ship off on that. It was

327
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: just another distraction and we gonna deal with not the

328
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 1: right motivation, not not from your owner, you know what

329
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 1: I mean, not from the situation, and then you know,

330
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 1: so it was just it was definitely a black guy.

331
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 1: But like I said, it was a chance for Adam Silver,

332
00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 1: you know, the kind of okay, your first year on

333
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 1: the job that you're you're you know, what are you

334
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 1: gonna do? And it's amazing. I think that's when he

335
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 1: kind of show people, Okay, you know, I'm ready for

336
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 1: this heavy lifting. He did what he's supposed to do.

337
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: We got to do without the league, and we've been

338
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 1: moving on ever since. So this is also a time,

339
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 1: you know, within that two thousand, fifteen, sixteen seventeen era,

340
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 1: when we kind of start losing pillars that you know,

341
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 1: we're great in our time. You know, this is when

342
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 1: a window of time when Tim retired, Kobe retired, Dirk McGuire,

343
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 1: I think d Wade was the last one to leave

344
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 1: Paul Peers retired. Yeah, Kevin Garnett retired. We lost some

345
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 1: greats of the game, and it was kind of a

346
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 1: changing of the guard. Although you know, arguably Brown was

347
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 1: still the best player at that time. You know, Kobe

348
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 1: was obviously right there, you know, and there was a

349
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 1: time where Kobe was the best player in the world.

350
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: But we lost you know, guys that carried this league

351
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 1: for fifteen, you know, twenty years, So it was a

352
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 1: crazy time. And you know, you've got a chance to

353
00:15:57,880 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 1: play with Tim and you know, I got a chance

354
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 1: to play of a Kobe. I had great battles with Garnette.

355
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 1: Garnette was a motherfucking dog. I wish he was. I

356
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 1: did a radio interview last night with some Warrior people

357
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 1: and we were They brought the we belief thing. But

358
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 1: how true was the US getting chemical Garnett? Do you know?

359
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 1: Because you were you were Nellie's right hand and went

360
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 1: Nellie his dog, and then Jack he were a black

361
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 1: step step son. I basually was, yeah, shout out Nelly. Sure.

362
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 1: I didn't hear nothing about it, bro, So you didn't

363
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 1: know if we were actually or with that rumor or anything.

364
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 1: I honestly think I honestly know for a fact that

365
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 1: they would about heard anything about KG. I would have

366
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: said something to y'all. Can you imagine though, if KG

367
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 1: would have came Dow we believed team that ship would

368
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 1: have been sick me. I don't even want to think

369
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 1: about it. Bro. Yeah, we passed that stop reminiscent. But

370
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 1: like I said, it was it was not damn that

371
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 1: KG b d you Monte Petrice could have been ugly,

372
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 1: danger could have been ugly. And like I said, changing

373
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 1: of the guards. These guys are on their way out.

374
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 1: New guys are are are rising. Like I said, Lebron

375
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:07,879
Speaker 1: kind of had the throne at that time, but shortly

376
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:11,679
Speaker 1: after that we get we get Kaua comes on the

377
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 1: site and thrown at that time, Yeah, what you mean

378
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:18,879
Speaker 1: he's been on the throne for how long? See minute?

379
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: How long is that? So? How long has Lebron been up?

380
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,399
Speaker 1: With him and Kobe overlapping? Because it was, you know,

381
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:27,639
Speaker 1: only those two at the time we're considered probably you know,

382
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 1: how long was Broun the best player? To you? I

383
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 1: think Broun has been the best player in the league

384
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 1: every year, said his first two years. I think from

385
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:41,440
Speaker 1: from his third year old he's been the best playing

386
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 1: in the league. To me, I'm not mad at that.

387
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,120
Speaker 1: From his third year old, he just dominated. That's when

388
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 1: he just all around. Oh my goodness, I just gotta

389
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 1: give him his card. From his third year old, Lebron

390
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 1: has been the best plan of the league. With guys

391
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 1: like Tim Duncan and KG and all those guys being

392
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 1: really and Kobe, all those guys, he's been the best

393
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 1: in the teams. He took to the finals. He was

394
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 1: going to the finals every year. Why those guys were

395
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 1: in the league every year with whoever he had. Let's go,

396
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:11,879
Speaker 1: get on my back. You want to come Okay, you

397
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: know what you're going right, We're going to the finals.

398
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,919
Speaker 1: Come on. I'm not mad at that. I'm mad at that. So,

399
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,639
Speaker 1: like I said, with with with the pillars of the

400
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 1: of the community, the Elder Statesman's kind of exiting, this

401
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 1: is like like I said, Lebron's at the top, and

402
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,199
Speaker 1: then you have Janice Is coming in. You have kauai

403
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 1: is making the name for themselves, Steph Clay and Draymond.

404
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,640
Speaker 1: When with what the Warriors did, k D and Russ

405
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:36,879
Speaker 1: and Harden, all these new guys are ready to step

406
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 1: up and be that wave of player and and and

407
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:42,879
Speaker 1: the game itself has changed as well, you know what

408
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 1: I mean. It used to be uh something we both

409
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,400
Speaker 1: hung our has almost playing defense, you know what I mean,

410
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:50,400
Speaker 1: And that and that is on its way out as

411
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:52,920
Speaker 1: we're finishing as players. But you know, with this new

412
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,439
Speaker 1: almost like call of life, you know, the what was

413
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:58,880
Speaker 1: it called in baseball? When when? When? When the home

414
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 1: run ball was going? This it's kind of just a

415
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 1: just a new era of just crazy scoring and and

416
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,879
Speaker 1: style of play. And I think a lot has to

417
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 1: do with the Warriors, you know what I mean. People

418
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 1: always say you live by the three, died by the three.

419
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 1: But you know, Stephen and Clay and and these guys

420
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 1: changed the game. Well people don't understand though they did

421
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 1: change the game. But they changed the game by having

422
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 1: two of the best shooters ever. They played the same

423
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 1: way we played. We just didn't make this money. We

424
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:34,400
Speaker 1: just didn't make it men shot we went. But people

425
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 1: talked about defense. Every year they in the top ten defensively,

426
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 1: So people talk about they're not playing deepense. Their offense

427
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 1: makes them have great defense. So people have to stop

428
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:45,440
Speaker 1: saying that they don't play d because there was always

429
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: one of the top defensive James every year they wanted,

430
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 1: but I think two from the fact of, like you said,

431
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:51,639
Speaker 1: although they were the greatest shooters, it was just it

432
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 1: was always you know, you hear the TNT crew that

433
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: you can't win with the three ball. You can't do

434
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:57,440
Speaker 1: this with the three ball and the and they proved

435
00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 1: the game wrong. And now with just this newer gen

436
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 1: narration of kids coming up, it's about shooting threes. And

437
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:08,160
Speaker 1: I go to AU games and I tell you, yes,

438
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 1: you go ten possessions and then nobody touched the paint.

439
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 1: Bro it goes everybody's watching. You know that the key

440
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:15,199
Speaker 1: to the offense back in the day was it had

441
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,119
Speaker 1: to touch the paint. You know what I mean, you know,

442
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,920
Speaker 1: work inside out, and now it's worked out and further

443
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,920
Speaker 1: out and further out half court, which is crazy from

444
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:26,160
Speaker 1: the logo with all these big six nine, six, ten,

445
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 1: two sixty two fifty two fluid guys moving, a little

446
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 1: dude you know named Steph Curry comes in and and

447
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 1: and and finds a way to be effective, not being athletic,

448
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 1: as a strong, as big as these guys, but just

449
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:42,680
Speaker 1: as effective, if not more. Yo. Yo. The question he

450
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 1: got the whole package. We can handle the ball like

451
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,920
Speaker 1: no package. And you saw him early on. I mean

452
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:51,239
Speaker 1: you were his teammate. We drafted kind of the end

453
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 1: of what our team was with, you know, Monte and you,

454
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 1: You and Monte hung around. You asked to be traded, right, Yeah.

455
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: When when they drafted, like they all, y'all was gone,

456
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 1: all my home was going. Everybody I was around, obviously,

457
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:04,679
Speaker 1: no one new stuff is gonna be. I had no clue,

458
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:07,640
Speaker 1: I had no long I was with like a mother

459
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 1: two And the time wasn't good because at the time

460
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 1: I was within Brandon Jenn's game fifty five. So I

461
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 1: didn't see that. I didn't see this step with that day.

462
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,199
Speaker 1: I didn't see that happening. But he should prove me

463
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,479
Speaker 1: wrong and a lot of people wrong. I absolutely agree.

464
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 1: Also to think to how you know, now we can

465
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,479
Speaker 1: kind of touch on that that that Warrior running that

466
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 1: Warrior dynasty. How they built you know, like I said,

467
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 1: Lebron took it to you know, teams, I'm going to

468
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,719
Speaker 1: where I want to go and come join me. And

469
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 1: then the Warriors did it the old traditional way, you know,

470
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 1: through through through great draft picks and three great draft

471
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: and and you know, front office moves and strategic moves.

472
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 1: You know, Jerry West was in that mix, you know,

473
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: Bob Myers and the rest of the crew they were in.

474
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 1: They're kind of constructing that team in it and it

475
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 1: kind of like, Okay, well damn, they did it the

476
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:57,199
Speaker 1: right way, you know what I mean. And then you

477
00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 1: look at Philly trusting the process. They did it the

478
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 1: right way, you know what I mean. So's there's kinda

479
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,439
Speaker 1: do we see what way it's gonna work? You know?

480
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:07,119
Speaker 1: Now we've kind of have a little bit more parody

481
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 1: where it's kind of more two stars and three stars.

482
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:12,639
Speaker 1: But do you see it staying come play with me,

483
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 1: or do you see it kind of going back to

484
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 1: the old traditional way of you know, building through the draft.

485
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,200
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna it's got to come play with me.

486
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,919
Speaker 1: Let's build our team, my homeworking most it's gonna stay there.

487
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 1: It's gonna stay there because that's the only way you

488
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 1: can win. Now it's too late to go back to

489
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 1: the other way. You go back to the other way,

490
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 1: you're gonna be at the bottom of the battle. You

491
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:31,360
Speaker 1: have to team up with guys. Too many, too many

492
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 1: teams are good and too many teams have two or

493
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 1: three All Stars, they might not make it to the

494
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:39,119
Speaker 1: All Star Game, and they may put up All Star numbers.

495
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:40,959
Speaker 1: You know, there's a lot of teams like that. So

496
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,399
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna stay with guys going to continue

497
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 1: to try to play with each other because the guys

498
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:46,920
Speaker 1: want to win now, and guys want to be lawal

499
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 1: like Dame. Literally, you want to show some largy. So

500
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,200
Speaker 1: it's good that they can make a move and get

501
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 1: a guy like car Melo to add to their team.

502
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 1: They can get big fellow back, they can have a

503
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 1: good chance to win it. So I think I think

504
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 1: guys want to stay law you and win it. But

505
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 1: at the same time, they're gonna they still recruiting guys

506
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 1: of the situation. Yeah, and like I said, the process

507
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 1: takes too long, and we live in a time and

508
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,359
Speaker 1: age where trusting the process is going to get a

509
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,160
Speaker 1: whole bunch of head coaches fired and and and management

510
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 1: fired and you know tread exactly. So it's it's really now,

511
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 1: like I said, the door has been opened. I think

512
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 1: the Warriors are kind of an exception, but even they,

513
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 1: you know, we're able to recruit, you know, Kde and

514
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 1: kind of solidify their dynasty. So I think I agree

515
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:26,399
Speaker 1: with you with the game has changed and it's changed forever.

516
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: When it comes to that, I mentioned previously how trust

517
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 1: the process is the process of the Sixers took and

518
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 1: a lot of people you know, had mixed opinions on

519
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 1: if that is the process. They've had a handful of

520
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 1: town of late, you know. They they've also built around

521
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 1: em Beat and Simmons and and and did some good

522
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 1: things around them. What do you think about them as

523
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 1: a as a team right now? And the person that

524
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 1: the slogan was made for and Beat trust the process.

525
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 1: He's not happy with the process because he's the first

526
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 1: person to speak on not having Jimmy Butler is a

527
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,439
Speaker 1: big problem. Choosing Tobias Harris over Jimmy. It was a

528
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 1: big mistake they had. They had a chance to to

529
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: to cater to Jimmy to keep Jimmy there. I think

530
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:07,919
Speaker 1: Jimmy is a better fit there. And he was leading

531
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:11,199
Speaker 1: those guys the guy who and be who they who

532
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 1: they land, putting their hat on us who who the who,

533
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,639
Speaker 1: the big feller they team. He was the first person

534
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,160
Speaker 1: to say that he's upset with Jimmy Butter not being there.

535
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 1: That is your star player for him to say that

536
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 1: things are not right there. So they trust in the process,

537
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 1: but they made their process took a step back when

538
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:27,959
Speaker 1: they let Jimmy go. So you don't see them having

539
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 1: a chance to win anything. No, I wouldn't say that

540
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 1: because they're in the East. They have a chance to

541
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 1: still win the East. They still have heart for them

542
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,159
Speaker 1: and be together to paint. I think Reddick was a

543
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 1: big loss to big loss too, you know. So that's

544
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 1: that that's two big pieces to vetermans to two guys

545
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 1: that can go anywhere and help any team right now.

546
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 1: You know what I means. Jimmy Butter is an all star.

547
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 1: So I just interesting, it's gonna be really interesting the

548
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 1: process works and playing well. But I love Ben Simester

549
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 1: and to me, the only way the process works is

550
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 1: with the championship. That's right. You know that I'm not

551
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 1: trusting it right now. You know you're not relevant. I'm

552
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 1: not trusted it. I like them. I like that to

553
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:05,679
Speaker 1: me that they were my pick earlier to come out

554
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 1: of the East, you know, and I haven't really wavered

555
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 1: from that pick. So we'll see how it goes. But

556
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 1: let's uh, let's talk about how the style of play

557
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:15,119
Speaker 1: has changed. You know, I think we got the old

558
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,879
Speaker 1: the taste of the old physical air. You came and

559
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 1: went two thousand. I was two thousand, two thousand three,

560
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:25,239
Speaker 1: then actually locked in two thousand four. So we got

561
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 1: a little bit of the hand checking physicality and in

562
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:31,160
Speaker 1: that part of the game. And that's what I loved.

563
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:33,399
Speaker 1: That's what we all knew how to play like. I

564
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:36,439
Speaker 1: still play like that. That's why that's why I'm not

565
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 1: being playing the Big three, because the Big Big got

566
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:40,879
Speaker 1: the old old rules. It was fun. I mean, we

567
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 1: would talk, we would talk about the dogs, you know

568
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:45,680
Speaker 1: what I mean with the hand checking, the horrid files,

569
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,360
Speaker 1: you know. And I think once again back to going

570
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,959
Speaker 1: to Mellow Nolot gotta taste it that too. And as

571
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 1: you see, if you see Mellow playing on the court

572
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,119
Speaker 1: right now, you can tell he come the old school poles.

573
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:57,679
Speaker 1: He's saying funk all the doubters though he's out there

574
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 1: playing with and I love it. He's saying funk everybody.

575
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 1: I love it to But like his motor and his hunger,

576
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:04,719
Speaker 1: like you don't see a couple of weeks ago, there

577
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 1: was one play where he had three offensive rebounds in

578
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:12,919
Speaker 1: the row finally went through someone's mouth, like, Yo, welcome

579
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:14,879
Speaker 1: to that's that's how we play. How we got that

580
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 1: on some motherucker's though, Like I could tell some people

581
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 1: Garden Mellower scared, but that's going to transfer on it

582
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,959
Speaker 1: to everybody on the team. It was a good pickup.

583
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 1: It was a good pick up. But let's like I said,

584
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 1: it went from being able to be physical to slowly

585
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 1: like almost flag football now. But at the same time,

586
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,159
Speaker 1: and I tell people, you know, because I kind of

587
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 1: think like I was one of the last of the

588
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 1: dying brees to kind of like be like a defensive

589
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 1: minded three in D type. You know, there's like maybe

590
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 1: a camp maybe five or six of them the NBA now,

591
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:48,920
Speaker 1: But it was like it was kind of the end

592
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 1: of what that kind of last real raw defense was about.

593
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:53,920
Speaker 1: And like I said, we didn't really get to play

594
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:55,439
Speaker 1: the defense they got to play, and you know obviously

595
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:57,919
Speaker 1: the eighties and nineties, but it was our form of it.

596
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,200
Speaker 1: But now with there being no defen and the game

597
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 1: has grown, you know what I mean. And then you

598
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:07,159
Speaker 1: think about it strategically and from a business standpoint, like

599
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:09,119
Speaker 1: when you turn on sports and you don't want to

600
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:12,200
Speaker 1: see like a defense like an eighty three eighty nine game.

601
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:13,639
Speaker 1: You know what I mean. People want to see a

602
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,360
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty, but you don't want to see You're right,

603
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 1: you're we don't want to see more teams losing by

604
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 1: forty points, you know what I mean. But you gotta

605
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 1: think highlight wise, dunks, three pointers, transitional game like that's

606
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 1: what the game is. So that's why it's kind of

607
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 1: crazy that they've gone away from you can't play no

608
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,719
Speaker 1: defense now. I feel like if you in the NBA

609
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 1: and you get beat by forty when the playoff time come,

610
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:37,920
Speaker 1: they need to see you to the c A tournament.

611
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:45,119
Speaker 1: There's some good teams and still done well. You know

612
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 1: what I mean. You you gotta be careful saying like

613
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 1: this because they want to look sit up like the

614
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 1: Lakers lost my Remember I came with me being on

615
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:55,239
Speaker 1: the team losing my party. I'm sorry, it's a lot

616
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 1: of points, forty dogs, it's a lot of points. I

617
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:01,160
Speaker 1: don't I would I was kicked out? Are I filed out?

618
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 1: I'm not being I'm not being involved in. I'm not

619
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 1: being a part of a team that losing my party.

620
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 1: I'm getting kicked out on purpose. He already I mean,

621
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:09,399
Speaker 1: I don't even have to say, but you know I was.

622
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 1: You can kicked out too, There's no question taking that ship.

623
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 1: A couple of weeks ago, Joanna's dunked on Julius Randall.

624
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:21,639
Speaker 1: I think from the next My god, I just I

625
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:22,920
Speaker 1: would have had that. I would have had the swing

626
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 1: on dude, just the birth to no drill incredible in

627
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:30,439
Speaker 1: his face, like it was just like like that's how

628
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 1: I supposed to be. Yeah, it's big played back in

629
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 1: the day. I like, but they would have tried to

630
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:37,680
Speaker 1: pun it. Like imagine him coming to Lane with Shack.

631
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 1: He would have dumped on Shock one time, and Shock

632
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 1: would have had to take all this ship out, like

633
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 1: all of it. That's why I like, you know, I mean,

634
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 1: I got a chance to play with Shock on the

635
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 1: backside of Crep. But you know in his hey that

636
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 1: we used to talk and I'm just like, you know,

637
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 1: when someone's cooking, the guard was cooking, he would tell

638
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 1: them to send him for the paint, and Shock would

639
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 1: lay their ass out and they would slow their whole

640
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 1: momentum down, you know what I mean. And I think

641
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 1: they're like stuff like that is strategically doing ship like

642
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 1: that and then kind of in four I missed that

643
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. You know what I want to say

644
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 1: about I got a story by saying I had the

645
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 1: most vulnerable moment everyone ever was shocked happen. So you know,

646
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 1: we'm sa really cool. When we played something, you know,

647
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 1: I always run up to him and give him a

648
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 1: chess buck. Bro Man, you know I'm not even thinking

649
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 1: about it. I run up to him and give him

650
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 1: get rid of chess. But he really not pay attention.

651
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 1: But he turned around the last minute. This mother catch

652
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 1: me Ben. I'm like, man, if you don't put me

653
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 1: to all these people out here, this catch me mid

654
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 1: And so I'm like, come on, manuye, dude, cannot be

655
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 1: that big. I got some crazy stories about shock in Phoenix. Man,

656
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 1: he was a big ass prank star. Oh man, when

657
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 1: we get him on the show, I'm gonna call him

658
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 1: on some of the shift he did. You got people

659
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 1: gonna be blowing away with some big fellers did well.

660
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 1: Let's go well, I mean we're turning of the decade.

661
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 1: You know, we're heading into a new start where we

662
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 1: have some great duos. Complete shift, would you say right now?

663
00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:00,040
Speaker 1: Arguably the best dual is a d and Lebron. I

664
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 1: think that's safe to say. No, the Can and the Brow,

665
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 1: that's what you're talking about. The King and the Brow.

666
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 1: That's their names. That's gonna be a duo. If they could,

667
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 1: you know, play together for you know him, for the years.

668
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 1: That that's that's gonna go down to history. Remember I

669
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 1: said that he was. I said that Braun wasn't playing

670
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 1: like the dog after that first game this season because

671
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 1: the clip, I say, you need to play with more dog,

672
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:23,719
Speaker 1: I said, Bron, you can average forty. You can average

673
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 1: fifty if you want. He's been getting triple doubles every night.

674
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 1: Best record in the league. The legos are tough. I'm

675
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 1: gonna lie, you know if he won't. Just don't take

676
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 1: it easy on him, Bron. Stop playing to the level

677
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 1: your competition. Get seventy points a night because you can't.

678
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 1: It's easy. He gotta pace itself though, and damn that

679
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 1: ship on his legs. You want it now, you wanted

680
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 1: in you when you want it. I'm asking when you

681
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 1: want it. I want it every night. You can't have

682
00:30:56,560 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 1: it every night after year seventh, in the year seventeen war,

683
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 1: I mean he paid a million dollars. But it's just things.

684
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 1: If I just wanted a minute, we spanned a million,

685
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 1: I was my body just, oh my good. Might have

686
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 1: spent a million sports. You'll be playing football and basketball.

687
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 1: I'll be playing fucking rugby in basketball. We'll be all

688
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 1: over the place, and I'll be boxing. I'll be jumping

689
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 1: out of jets. All kind of said. If I spent

690
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 1: a million dollars a million dollars on your body a year,

691
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 1: nothing shouldn't be wrong with you. Log management, Are you

692
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 1: kidding me? I'm the other way. Pace yourself. Bro. A

693
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:31,720
Speaker 1: million of games you can do during the season, but

694
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 1: I want to see it in the I want to

695
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 1: see in the playoffs. You can do it. Just do it.

696
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 1: But right down the hall, Kawai and PG and and

697
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 1: PG has been back for a minute. Kauai is Kauai,

698
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. He's really hurt, you know,

699
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 1: but he's still doing what he's doing. But I ain't

700
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 1: even talking about little man. I'm just talking about to

701
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 1: deal itself, you know. I think when Paul George, you know,

702
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 1: gets his footing back, he's been playing really well. I

703
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be a Western Conference battle. Uh final

704
00:31:58,040 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 1: to go down. It's gonna be fine. We talked about

705
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 1: all these duos. We just stick is due on TV. Yeah,

706
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 1: we just do a period. They don't even know if

707
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 1: you don't even know that. But honest, nice Luca. They're scary.

708
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 1: Lucas scary. I don't think I was talking to someone.

709
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 1: I don't think. And this is no knock on Brown

710
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 1: and no knock on anybody, but offensively skilled. I don't

711
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 1: think we've ever seen a player coming to the game

712
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 1: this right. I mean something can say Kareem, but I

713
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 1: don't even you know, back in the day when he

714
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:26,720
Speaker 1: came in, he came in completely dominant. But that the

715
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:28,480
Speaker 1: Luca is different because he can give it to you

716
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:32,479
Speaker 1: any where you wanted. Do they know that Luca's legit

717
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 1: six nine, big body, but he's handles, He's step backs,

718
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 1: doing whatever he wants to this league. All the records

719
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 1: and numbers. Lebron was putting up that when he was

720
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 1: breaking at the beginning's career, Lucas doing the same thing

721
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 1: and squashing them all crazy especial. But what I like

722
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 1: about him, I say this all the time about players.

723
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 1: That's the first thing I noticed. He don't back down no,

724
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 1: hell no, you know what I'm saying. That's the first thing,

725
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 1: especially when you're coming. I got them from overseas to

726
00:32:57,840 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 1: the NBA. The first thing they tried to take you

727
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 1: are well you know that we I mean we that

728
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 1: was always kind of the knock with you know, obviously

729
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 1: a handful of him more special, you know, but a

730
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 1: euro We was trying to punk them all off the rip.

731
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 1: They couldn't bunk Carolinko. No, he was a dog. You couldn't, Carolina.

732
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 1: I'm auer had our whole team, are our whole offense

733
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 1: funked up in the playoffs. But you know, like I said,

734
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 1: there were some exceptions for it from over you know,

735
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 1: the knock back then was you know, they would be

736
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:28,240
Speaker 1: soft and getting their asks, and they had disappeared. But

737
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 1: that's one thing. Luca, he's ready for it. He wants

738
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 1: to get you know what I mean, he's he's ready

739
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 1: for that head up any day, anytime, anywhere. And you

740
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 1: know what's crazy though, everybody was talking about when Porzingis

741
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 1: get there, how it's gonna be crazy. Porzinga's is not

742
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 1: even on Lucas level. Not what I'll give Porzinga is

743
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:48,360
Speaker 1: gonna take him a hole after the type of knee

744
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 1: injury he had. I'm not judging him until next year,

745
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 1: but obviously I was looking at him the other day

746
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 1: thinking the way you are else, just like I forgot

747
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 1: this his first year back from knee injury, but like

748
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:58,959
Speaker 1: it's not it's man. Before Porzincas got hurt, we were

749
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 1: thinking him up here, but robbing, I think, Lucas, I

750
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 1: think they can still get there. You think so. I

751
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 1: think they might have just slide another person in arriving

752
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 1: and let him go to be out for something. You

753
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:14,920
Speaker 1: Alfred getting Batman stuff ready, He's gonna have to I

754
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:17,239
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't think he's robbing. You might not

755
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 1: be robbing. I want to hold judgment into things just

756
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:26,400
Speaker 1: more Alfred. Right now, we done somebody in and Luca's Batman, Superman, Incredible,

757
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 1: dog Knight, all of them, Dog Knight Rises, all that.

758
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 1: But they said, I mean, you know you can check

759
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:34,360
Speaker 1: you can check my my paperwork. You know, I was

760
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 1: telling people when he first came in the game that

761
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 1: he has a chance to be one of the greatest players,

762
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:41,239
Speaker 1: not only European players, but ever. And you mentioned while

763
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:43,319
Speaker 1: we're talking, you think he's top three and v people.

764
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 1: Right now, I think Luco will finish this year top

765
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:48,920
Speaker 1: three m v P if not definitely first team on

766
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 1: if he don't win it, Yeah, definitely first team on NBA.

767
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 1: And he's gonna be there for a long time. He

768
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 1: stay healthy, gonna be there for a long time. I agree.

769
00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:58,879
Speaker 1: I gotta get a Luca Jersey. Shout out Luca, Shout

770
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:00,399
Speaker 1: out Luka for real. He ain't got nothing to ask

771
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:02,279
Speaker 1: for beside to just tell him, you know, Luke ain't

772
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:03,759
Speaker 1: got the shoe deal. Yeah, you know I've been keeping

773
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,919
Speaker 1: He's still trying our shoes. And you don't want to jersey.

774
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 1: I don't want to Jersey. I'm gonna go to the

775
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:12,719
Speaker 1: game up. I'd like to definitely like to do with

776
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:15,759
Speaker 1: Cuban home Rick call out of home me too. You

777
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:19,560
Speaker 1: mentioned something earlier about Lucas saying, uh, you know, and

778
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:21,840
Speaker 1: this is almost talking to the defense and what the

779
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 1: game is like now. It's the easiest going the NBA

780
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 1: than it was overseas. Yeah, and it makes sense, you

781
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 1: know he playing overseas. It's probably him. You know, nine

782
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:33,759
Speaker 1: times over the overseas you have two Americans, so it's

783
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:36,479
Speaker 1: probably him and another guy that's actually getting to paid

784
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:40,840
Speaker 1: attention by defense. Everybody's keying on and the NBA, everybody

785
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,920
Speaker 1: has to be tend to. Everybody's hugging their man. Everybody

786
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 1: gotta be respected. So he just walking to the paint,

787
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 1: he has more space than anybody, more space needs ever

788
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:51,680
Speaker 1: had to go one on one and then and the

789
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:54,879
Speaker 1: NBA guys, they it looks like the guys take more

790
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:57,319
Speaker 1: pride and playing defense, but they have to because they're

791
00:35:57,320 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 1: on the island and the ups and body want to

792
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:02,799
Speaker 1: be embarrassed. And like I said, I think it's great

793
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:04,720
Speaker 1: for the game that to have like players like Janice

794
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:06,440
Speaker 1: and Luca, and I think that talks to it at

795
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:09,280
Speaker 1: the beginning of the decade, how it's it's grown globally

796
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 1: with social media and what players have been able to

797
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:14,359
Speaker 1: speak at about and you know, show that in the

798
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 1: NBA is just an all around amazing thing to be

799
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:18,760
Speaker 1: a part of the global game. You know, it's definitely

800
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:20,760
Speaker 1: a global game. So it's you know, you're you're starting

801
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:23,759
Speaker 1: to see more younger European stars and that is what

802
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:27,120
Speaker 1: continues to grow the game. And I said, these players

803
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:29,360
Speaker 1: continue to get the contracts that they're getting. Have you

804
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:34,239
Speaker 1: seen Thundmaker's brother like eleven grades something something tall. He

805
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 1: handled all that. It's crazy. I forgot the kid's name,

806
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:41,560
Speaker 1: but there's a young katie coming up to the pipeline

807
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:44,400
Speaker 1: to a helio or and forgot with the kid name.

808
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:49,919
Speaker 1: Boy he is nice. Let's transition right now into as

809
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 1: we close out the two thousand tens. Me and Jack

810
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:56,320
Speaker 1: sat back and made a few lists. Don't try to

00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:59,359
Speaker 1: go crazy. Just our list. You like it? Agree? If

812
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 1: not right? You know, people, when you start making you

00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:05,359
Speaker 1: said so and so, man, we don't. We'll care about

814
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:08,120
Speaker 1: all that we think. You guys, tell us what you think.

815
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:10,520
Speaker 1: But we're gonna start it off with the top five

816
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:15,319
Speaker 1: moments of the past ten years, and we'll start at

817
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 1: number five. Kobe's last game and his story career points. Yes,

819
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 1: like who goes out with their last game being sixty points? Kobe?

820
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 1: That was crazy. I mean it was just good to

823
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:36,920
Speaker 1: we stuck around, you know, like I said, especially with

824
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:38,800
Speaker 1: the climb and stay. A lot of guys bounce you

825
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:40,400
Speaker 1: know to get that ring at the end and Kobe

830
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 1: and then Canada their first championship. Note the kids that

00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:06,839
Speaker 1: watch that, you see he helped the follow up through

832
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:09,239
Speaker 1: the goose neck. He just sat there and watched that

833
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 1: mother bounce bounce. I said, everybody, you gotta keep you

834
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:16,279
Speaker 1: following through Coach Jack Top five moments number four with

835
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:19,120
Speaker 1: you know Kauai and you say what you want about Kauai,

836
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 1: but he's got what two championships and two finals VPS

837
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:24,960
Speaker 1: and Defensive Player of the Year, and he led Ronald

838
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:27,759
Speaker 1: Raptors to their first championship and then came there was

839
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 1: offering him the world out there too, free cars, free houses,

840
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 1: free life. I'm just saying, you go to the country

00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:36,839
Speaker 1: and get them a championship, and you need you can't

842
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:38,799
Speaker 1: be mad at it't be mad at expect the game

843
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:42,960
Speaker 1: respected to check it. Number three Russell Westbrooks Triple double run.

844
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 1: I think we get as a society, we see greatness

845
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 1: and we get almost tired of it and not really

846
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:53,200
Speaker 1: historically understanding how amazing what this man did was as

847
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 1: a basketball player. It was. It was just unbelievable. Me

848
00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:59,520
Speaker 1: knowing the few triple doubles I had my career, I

849
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:01,440
Speaker 1: only had one. It was close to like five. I

850
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:03,440
Speaker 1: probably have three or four. Yeah, you know what I mean,

851
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 1: to consistently average it for what it was a two

852
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 1: or three years, and to even to the point where

853
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 1: he went and got nip shoutout rest in peace. That

854
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 1: was crazy. On the sixties. Yeah, that's that was crazy,

855
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:17,640
Speaker 1: you know. So definitely, Russell Westbrook one was definitely top

856
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:21,720
Speaker 1: one of the top moments the Warriors, but not for

857
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 1: their dynasty so to speak. It was the year they

858
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:27,439
Speaker 1: beat the Bulls. Record when they surpassed the seventy two

859
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 1: and ten was seventy three and nine. But they didn't

860
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 1: win the championship, so that's kind of Yeah, yeah, played good.

861
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 1: Your regularly was a great regular season team. But that's

862
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:41,239
Speaker 1: also they gotta think that. So that's when they beat

863
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:44,799
Speaker 1: down a three one to Okay, see okay, So they

864
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 1: beat okay see losing the finals, come back with easy

865
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:53,239
Speaker 1: money money and you know what I mean, solidified the

866
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:58,560
Speaker 1: end of their dynasty. And the number one moment of

867
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:03,840
Speaker 1: the two thousand ten dead It to us was Lebron's

868
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:08,399
Speaker 1: blocking Game seven on the road after leaving Miami, coming

869
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:11,920
Speaker 1: back to his hometown and winning Cleveland their first championship

870
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:14,640
Speaker 1: in fifty plus years. Man, that was amazing. That's say

871
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 1: that changed the whole series. That's say that saved it.

872
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 1: That was it. I mean, he made a lot of

873
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:21,520
Speaker 1: blocks doing the course of the amazing, you know what

874
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:26,480
Speaker 1: I mean, But just that block on the road. He's

875
00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:30,080
Speaker 1: how how he was like chin above the rim, like

876
00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:33,400
Speaker 1: blocked it with all this ship those great players, especially

877
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:35,120
Speaker 1: in the finals. If you look back in the history

878
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 1: of time, most great players their moment and their players

879
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:43,400
Speaker 1: on offense. That was a defensive just kind of speaks

880
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:45,600
Speaker 1: to what Lebron is. Lebronco beach in many different ways,

881
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:49,200
Speaker 1: you know, not just scoring. So that was our top five,

882
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:55,400
Speaker 1: uh moments. So let's get into some honorable mentions that

883
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:58,319
Speaker 1: just missed the cut. Um. One of them, I don't

884
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:01,279
Speaker 1: feel but feel free like that. One of them, I

885
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:04,840
Speaker 1: don't feel feel but feel free you're coming back. You

886
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:06,360
Speaker 1: don't have your sung glasses on the wrap right now,

887
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:10,359
Speaker 1: right now. Dirk Dirk's one championship and what they did

888
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:12,279
Speaker 1: to get it. Um. I was on the Laker team

889
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:14,520
Speaker 1: that they swept out of the playoffs in the first round,

890
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 1: and they went up against that that that Big three

891
00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:20,880
Speaker 1: of Miami and they got their first champion. Dirk was dominant.

892
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:24,000
Speaker 1: That was big. That was big. I mean nobody everybody

893
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:26,919
Speaker 1: thought that Big three was gonna win that and eight

894
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:29,600
Speaker 1: nine there was all that, and and Dirk came in

895
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:32,440
Speaker 1: there and and stole himself on it in convincing fashion.

896
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:36,279
Speaker 1: Dame Lillard's waved goodbye to the thunder Dame is cold.

897
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:38,279
Speaker 1: You gotta think too, It's not even on you. But

898
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:41,080
Speaker 1: the shott he hit to knock Houston out a few

899
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 1: years before that. But his goodbye his way to Paul

900
00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:49,520
Speaker 1: George and on the ground deep logo. So I mean

901
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:54,560
Speaker 1: that was all, you know, shout out Dame Dollar. Lebron

902
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:57,880
Speaker 1: finally gets over uh you know the David and Golias

903
00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:00,960
Speaker 1: situation in Boston in two thousand well to win his

904
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:04,440
Speaker 1: first first title. So that was just missed. The Katie's

905
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 1: scoring run. I think we forget. You know, in his

906
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:10,440
Speaker 1: MVP years two thousand and fourteen year one straight games

907
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:15,080
Speaker 1: of twenty five or more, we were definitely in the

908
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:17,920
Speaker 1: mixed probably. But it's crazy with Kate, you know, he

909
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:19,480
Speaker 1: was just one of the most efficient. Dude, you could

910
00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:21,080
Speaker 1: play good defense, but he's just so much bigger than you.

911
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:28,880
Speaker 1: Didn't matter all time. And then ray Allen's shot against

912
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:31,080
Speaker 1: in the two thousand Things, but you don't like what

913
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:35,719
Speaker 1: what's on that shot? You got a problem with raised?

914
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:40,239
Speaker 1: Excuse me? So anyway, man, that was all honorable mention. Um.

915
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:44,000
Speaker 1: Moving right along, we want to rank the top ten

916
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:46,880
Speaker 1: players of the decade. And so when we say this

917
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:50,080
Speaker 1: and we maybe leave some people out or have them

918
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:51,279
Speaker 1: in the rank and are not in the ring, you

919
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:53,440
Speaker 1: got to realize we kind of felt like some of

920
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:55,840
Speaker 1: these guys carried over and ended their careers in the

921
00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:58,520
Speaker 1: two thousand tents, but not weren't necessarily their best body

922
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 1: of work in the two thousand tens with this list,

923
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:02,400
Speaker 1: so we're not ranking any of these in order. We

924
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:04,319
Speaker 1: want you guys to put them in order, or we're

925
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:06,480
Speaker 1: just giving you what we feel at the top ten.

926
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:10,799
Speaker 1: But let's start off at the top. You want to

927
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:13,360
Speaker 1: make sure they know that right, because we're saying all

928
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:15,359
Speaker 1: kind of ship, We're gonna get the honorable mentions out

929
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:18,759
Speaker 1: the way. First Star with Paul George p G PlayStation.

930
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:21,279
Speaker 1: I love PG bro coming off and coming back off

931
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 1: the injury, a couple of injuries, yeah, but that, yeah,

932
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:25,719
Speaker 1: the big one for the Olympic team and came back

933
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:28,359
Speaker 1: to do what he has done and doing what he's

934
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:30,040
Speaker 1: doing with the Clippers. Now. You always got a lot

935
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:33,720
Speaker 1: of love with PG one. Oh yeah, there's no question

936
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:37,800
Speaker 1: Kyrie one of your favorite players, human joy stick crazy,

937
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:41,520
Speaker 1: one of the best finishers I've seen Rod stricking on steroids.

938
00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:44,399
Speaker 1: I'm just a fan of his game, not only his shoes,

939
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:46,920
Speaker 1: but I'm a fan of his game. Yeah, mellow, someone

940
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:49,320
Speaker 1: we've advocated for, big fan for us, you know what

941
00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:51,799
Speaker 1: I mean. And and he's he's only mounorable mention because

942
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:53,040
Speaker 1: in this hey days, I think we're more of the

943
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:56,080
Speaker 1: two thousands. But he was a monster Hall of Fame

944
00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 1: and glad he's back on Portland. You know, you see

945
00:43:58,040 --> 00:43:59,799
Speaker 1: me and Jack advocating for him, and everyone's out there

946
00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 1: talk and ship saying he couldn't do this, couldn't do that.

947
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:05,200
Speaker 1: They're playing. We can say what you want, but he's

948
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:07,120
Speaker 1: playing very well important and we're happening for him. So

949
00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 1: when I got a chance to play with and he's

950
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:10,920
Speaker 1: just had the worst luck I've probably ever seen a

951
00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:14,040
Speaker 1: player have his DeMarcus Cousins. Yeah, we both love he

952
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:16,239
Speaker 1: was on pace too, you know, numbers wise to be

953
00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:18,240
Speaker 1: in one of the all time greats with his numbers

954
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:21,520
Speaker 1: he put up in Sacramento, and then going to New

955
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:23,680
Speaker 1: Orleans and on the brink of a you know, signing

956
00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:28,360
Speaker 1: a huge deal, tears as Achilles, where are you? You know,

957
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:31,240
Speaker 1: then comes back and signs, you know, a little small

958
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:34,680
Speaker 1: deal with Golden State, tears his quad when coming back,

959
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:37,160
Speaker 1: and then the following summer tears his a c L.

960
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:39,720
Speaker 1: So it's been nothing of bad luck. We wish Boogie

961
00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:43,400
Speaker 1: the best. Definitely absolutely Boogie. And then one of my

962
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:46,120
Speaker 1: former teammates and to me, one of the greatest point

963
00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:48,759
Speaker 1: guards and leaders the game has ever seen. I think

964
00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:52,200
Speaker 1: he gets a bad rep sometimes, but Chris Paul probably

965
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:55,799
Speaker 1: the smartest point guard I've seen playing my time. Chris

966
00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:57,960
Speaker 1: Paul was a killer man, one of the most competitive.

967
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:01,080
Speaker 1: I put him right up there with a and Kobe

968
00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:03,400
Speaker 1: as far as competitiveness and guys that I played with

969
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:06,080
Speaker 1: Chris is Chris is a mobster. But let's get into

970
00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:08,640
Speaker 1: our top ten. This is not in any particular order.

971
00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:10,400
Speaker 1: Like I said, we're gonna let you guys judge it.

972
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:11,759
Speaker 1: We want to see what you guys think, So make

973
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:13,399
Speaker 1: sure you guys tap in and tells what you think

974
00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:15,480
Speaker 1: your order is. But we feel like these are the

975
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:19,399
Speaker 1: top ten players of the two thousand tens. Starting off

976
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:22,560
Speaker 1: with Dwyane Wade lash I think he's the number three

977
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:26,839
Speaker 1: shooting guard all time behind m J. Kobe. The way,

978
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:29,920
Speaker 1: what do you think? I can't argue with that? Um

979
00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:33,439
Speaker 1: the dominant whole career. He has the championship to back

980
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:35,759
Speaker 1: it up, he has the final MVP to back it up.

981
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:38,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I can't argue with you on that. You

982
00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:42,560
Speaker 1: shouldn't Steph Curry, someone who came in and changed the game. Um,

983
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:44,759
Speaker 1: you know you live by the three, died by the three,

984
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:46,640
Speaker 1: and they found a way to build a dynasty out

985
00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:48,680
Speaker 1: of the three. And someone who's coming, like you said

986
00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:52,680
Speaker 1: earlier with joy Stick handled too and has revolutionaries to

987
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:55,160
Speaker 1: revolutionize the game. How many and how many people can

988
00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:57,320
Speaker 1: you say he's done that has changed the game and

989
00:45:57,480 --> 00:46:01,680
Speaker 1: full of the hand of James Harden on the offensive

990
00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:05,040
Speaker 1: run we've we've never seen, or we haven't seen in

991
00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:09,000
Speaker 1: our lifetime. Obviously one of the greatest all time offensive

992
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:13,759
Speaker 1: players we've ever seen. I'm speechless when it comes to

993
00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:16,839
Speaker 1: James hard because, like, but ke've been working on your

994
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:19,360
Speaker 1: actors ship, how like your mannerisms and all your breathing

995
00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:21,759
Speaker 1: and all that. I've gotta see this Jack, is that

996
00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:24,399
Speaker 1: you're trying to be an actor man with him right

997
00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:29,880
Speaker 1: vact scene? Okay, um, but James though, like it's I

998
00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:32,799
Speaker 1: don't understand, Like as much as we played defense and

999
00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:34,920
Speaker 1: as hard as we work, it was no way that

1000
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:38,400
Speaker 1: somebody would be moved so nonchalant and score points like

1001
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:40,960
Speaker 1: that on us. Like he's getting sixty and it's not

1002
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:45,600
Speaker 1: even sweating. You don't have a strong body. He looked

1003
00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:47,759
Speaker 1: kind of fat, like you drink beers all day. You

1004
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:50,320
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, He's getting sixty a game. I

1005
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:53,600
Speaker 1: got some of that, James Harden. Uh. I got frustrated

1006
00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:55,160
Speaker 1: at one time. I just had a throne on the ground.

1007
00:46:55,160 --> 00:46:58,200
Speaker 1: I just don't deal with getting torched too. Well, yeah,

1008
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:00,600
Speaker 1: it's none what can you do any and people get

1009
00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:02,960
Speaker 1: mad because he's mastered the game. He's learned how to

1010
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:04,520
Speaker 1: make people foul, and he's learned how to go to

1011
00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:06,200
Speaker 1: the foul line twenty times, although I think the rest

1012
00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:08,319
Speaker 1: still calls some bullshit fouls every once in one's three

1013
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 1: point shots. But he's mastered, and I think people get

1014
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:14,320
Speaker 1: mad at the fact that he's outsmarted the game almost

1015
00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:16,600
Speaker 1: and become one of the most prolific score we've ever seen.

1016
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:20,799
Speaker 1: Kawhi Leonard the Claw, two time champion, two time final

1017
00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:22,520
Speaker 1: m v P. You know you had him as a

1018
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:24,799
Speaker 1: as a young boy in San Antonio, and I remember

1019
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:26,759
Speaker 1: you telling me you saw something in him early. Yeah.

1020
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:30,399
Speaker 1: I knew, well one. I knew that he wasn't gonna

1021
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:34,759
Speaker 1: be in San Antonio. Let me say that too. I

1022
00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:36,360
Speaker 1: knew he was gonna be one of the top players

1023
00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:38,319
Speaker 1: in this league. He was focused, the way he was

1024
00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:41,120
Speaker 1: built and his knowledge of basketball in the way he

1025
00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:43,560
Speaker 1: played the game like he was similar to Tim Duncan.

1026
00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:45,640
Speaker 1: He's even killed. Hey, nobody take him off his game.

1027
00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:46,880
Speaker 1: You can say what you want to him, you can

1028
00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:48,880
Speaker 1: knock him down. He know he can play the game,

1029
00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:50,279
Speaker 1: and he's gonna play the game will and he was

1030
00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:52,800
Speaker 1: focused gonna be in the best Kobe so when I

1031
00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:56,520
Speaker 1: think obviously his best days were probably uh two thousand's,

1032
00:47:56,520 --> 00:47:58,439
Speaker 1: but he definitely was a killer coming into the early

1033
00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:01,279
Speaker 1: part of two thousand up until he you know, kind

1034
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:05,320
Speaker 1: of body started giving out. When you say being that

1035
00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:08,279
Speaker 1: speak for yourself. Man, Like I've seen Kobe from high

1036
00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:10,320
Speaker 1: school to now, and you got to put together McDonald

1037
00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:14,239
Speaker 1: man and cop. It's just it was just it was

1038
00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:16,279
Speaker 1: just special. I heard they rob you the MVP in

1039
00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:19,960
Speaker 1: that game too. What happened? Well, McDonald's all American game

1040
00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:23,840
Speaker 1: check go check, thanks for USA, go check the footage.

1041
00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:26,680
Speaker 1: I think I was maybe eight for ten from the field,

1042
00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:29,120
Speaker 1: three ft three from the three point line, twenty one points.

1043
00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:32,279
Speaker 1: Nobody else was even close to twenty one points, and

1044
00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:37,440
Speaker 1: they gave the MVP to a guy named Shaheen Holloway. Holloway,

1045
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:39,640
Speaker 1: but I think, all right, yeah, he had like eight

1046
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:42,719
Speaker 1: points eight as a couple of turnovers. It wasn't we

1047
00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:45,759
Speaker 1: want just didn't add up to me, you know what

1048
00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:47,080
Speaker 1: I mean. When we get Kobe on the show, you

1049
00:48:47,160 --> 00:48:48,959
Speaker 1: gotta talk talking about that. I'm going to ask Kobe

1050
00:48:49,040 --> 00:48:52,080
Speaker 1: who he think should have won m VP and That's

1051
00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:54,720
Speaker 1: what matters. How code we play that game. He was solid,

1052
00:48:54,719 --> 00:48:56,239
Speaker 1: you know, he was chilling, Like, why am I here?

1053
00:48:56,239 --> 00:48:59,120
Speaker 1: I'm going to the league. You guys, you beneath me.

1054
00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:07,640
Speaker 1: Don't on you shooting? Played away on you and Clay

1055
00:49:07,680 --> 00:49:11,399
Speaker 1: Thompson a silent assassin. And you can say what you want,

1056
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:15,640
Speaker 1: but Clay could arguably be, if not the one of

1057
00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:18,320
Speaker 1: the greatest shooters we've ever seen. Sixty points and twenty

1058
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:22,040
Speaker 1: nine minutes on two and a half dribbles, one step

1059
00:49:22,040 --> 00:49:25,320
Speaker 1: back right, Clay was the killer man. I remember always

1060
00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:27,200
Speaker 1: having to chase his ass off screens and they get

1061
00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:28,719
Speaker 1: a chance to play with them, and seeing him and

1062
00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:31,359
Speaker 1: steps steps work ethic outside of the games, and how

1063
00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:33,440
Speaker 1: much they shoot and how much they don't miss. Like

1064
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:37,000
Speaker 1: to really see, I say, Steph has these records and

1065
00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:39,440
Speaker 1: gets more shots up because he's better with the ball

1066
00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:41,120
Speaker 1: off the ball and can run, picking rolls and do

1067
00:49:41,160 --> 00:49:42,480
Speaker 1: all that stuff. But it can when it comes to

1068
00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:45,120
Speaker 1: just straight spot up shooting. I couldn't really tell you

1069
00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:47,359
Speaker 1: to me who I think is better. It's those guys

1070
00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:49,239
Speaker 1: are right neck and next to me. A lot of

1071
00:49:49,239 --> 00:49:51,200
Speaker 1: people that don't play basketball. I don't know how hard

1072
00:49:51,239 --> 00:49:53,880
Speaker 1: it is to catch a ball in the second and

1073
00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:56,360
Speaker 1: moving in your hand to get the scenes to shoot

1074
00:49:56,360 --> 00:50:01,160
Speaker 1: a perfect, perfect spinih shot does Oh my god, Watch

1075
00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:03,920
Speaker 1: it for all you guys that never know no wasted movement.

1076
00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:06,200
Speaker 1: When Clay catches the ball, Watch how he shifts the

1077
00:50:06,239 --> 00:50:09,680
Speaker 1: ball like this to where the scenes. His hands are

1078
00:50:09,719 --> 00:50:11,920
Speaker 1: right on the scenes and every time you don't even

1079
00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:16,200
Speaker 1: recognize them, sometimes moving right along. Anthony Davis, someone that

1080
00:50:16,239 --> 00:50:18,920
Speaker 1: you really like. He could have could have been I mean,

1081
00:50:19,040 --> 00:50:20,000
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, It could have been m

1082
00:50:20,040 --> 00:50:22,799
Speaker 1: VP of the last handful of years. That's something going

1083
00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:24,919
Speaker 1: great with the Lakers now. And Brian Yeah, I called

1084
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:27,600
Speaker 1: him Tom Duncan on steroids. Now everybody's stealing all the

1085
00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:33,319
Speaker 1: smoke hits stelling now stuff and saying, come on, that's

1086
00:50:33,360 --> 00:50:37,560
Speaker 1: our ship. They take an hour ship. But it's cool,

1087
00:50:37,120 --> 00:50:42,320
Speaker 1: ain't okay? We'll get him later. Russell Westbrook Monster the

1088
00:50:42,840 --> 00:50:45,759
Speaker 1: human door cell battery man, to overcome the injuries he's

1089
00:50:45,760 --> 00:50:48,200
Speaker 1: overcome and to put up the numbers here doing what

1090
00:50:48,239 --> 00:50:50,080
Speaker 1: I love about Rush. You could you know, he's a

1091
00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:52,120
Speaker 1: hater love kind of guy. But I think what outside

1092
00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:54,640
Speaker 1: of the numbers, what I personally love is that motherfucker

1093
00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:57,759
Speaker 1: plays hard every second he's on the court. I like

1094
00:50:57,880 --> 00:50:59,560
Speaker 1: that he marches to the beat of his own drum.

1095
00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:04,080
Speaker 1: You know me love to leave it. You know hey,

1096
00:51:04,280 --> 00:51:06,640
Speaker 1: average triple double and y'all still kill me. You know

1097
00:51:06,680 --> 00:51:09,000
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, y'all, y'all say I can't shoot, Okay, cool,

1098
00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:11,480
Speaker 1: I'm still gonna have a triple like I just love

1099
00:51:11,560 --> 00:51:12,960
Speaker 1: the way he approached the game, you know what I mean.

1100
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:14,919
Speaker 1: I love it. I love I love it too. Kevin

1101
00:51:14,960 --> 00:51:18,960
Speaker 1: Durant arguably one of the greatest scores. It's not the

1102
00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:21,760
Speaker 1: greatest score we've ever seen in the game. Is he human?

1103
00:51:22,239 --> 00:51:28,480
Speaker 1: Does he have snake? Plays like a point guard in

1104
00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:31,920
Speaker 1: a two guard mixed with you know, three guard, actually

1105
00:51:31,960 --> 00:51:35,359
Speaker 1: power forward, size, handle the ball. I mean, it's I've

1106
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:37,759
Speaker 1: never seen nothing like in his efficiency, you know what

1107
00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:40,200
Speaker 1: I mean. I think people, like I said, James Harden

1108
00:51:40,280 --> 00:51:42,120
Speaker 1: is tremendous, but I think there's a few other guys

1109
00:51:42,160 --> 00:51:45,400
Speaker 1: that if they were in that role every single night,

1110
00:51:45,400 --> 00:51:47,279
Speaker 1: you know, I'm gonna shoot thirty to forty shots. I

1111
00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:50,160
Speaker 1: could shoot fifteen to twenty three to score like that.

1112
00:51:50,320 --> 00:51:52,400
Speaker 1: If Kevin Durant wanted to, he would lead the world

1113
00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:56,359
Speaker 1: and scoring every single year and efficient question, Steph could

1114
00:51:56,360 --> 00:51:57,759
Speaker 1: do it too. I think Steph could score like that

1115
00:51:57,840 --> 00:51:59,840
Speaker 1: too if that was his role and that that was

1116
00:51:59,880 --> 00:52:02,759
Speaker 1: his offensive system. But yeah, Kevin Durant and then last

1117
00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:07,200
Speaker 1: but not least, King James k And I think, you know,

1118
00:52:07,239 --> 00:52:11,280
Speaker 1: not only on but off the court. Unlike any superstar

1119
00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:13,359
Speaker 1: we've ever seen to do as much as he's done

1120
00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:17,880
Speaker 1: for the game itself, growing the game, giving guys platforms

1121
00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:22,080
Speaker 1: and giving them guys game overall, and in business of basketball,

1122
00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:24,440
Speaker 1: and and and branding yourself as a business. I just

1123
00:52:24,440 --> 00:52:27,960
Speaker 1: think Lebron has done so much for the game of

1124
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:32,279
Speaker 1: basketball outside of basketball and in basketball, you know, and

1125
00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:36,000
Speaker 1: for president and past players. There's no question definitely carried

1126
00:52:36,040 --> 00:52:38,359
Speaker 1: the torch. So that was our list, like we said,

1127
00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:41,400
Speaker 1: in no particular order. You guys down in the comments,

1128
00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:44,120
Speaker 1: give us your top ten players and honorable mentors if

1129
00:52:44,120 --> 00:52:46,560
Speaker 1: you like, and see how you fare against our lists.

1130
00:52:46,880 --> 00:52:52,000
Speaker 1: Moving right along, teams of the decade coming in, and

1131
00:52:52,120 --> 00:52:57,000
Speaker 1: number five, we had the Raptors. They've been hanging around,

1132
00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:00,239
Speaker 1: they've been in the Eastern Conference, mix with the with

1133
00:53:00,280 --> 00:53:02,600
Speaker 1: the can you know, and then they continued to running too.

1134
00:53:02,640 --> 00:53:04,680
Speaker 1: Someone who went to the finals eight straight times. Every

1135
00:53:04,680 --> 00:53:08,200
Speaker 1: time they walked to school, they go this route right there,

1136
00:53:09,040 --> 00:53:11,320
Speaker 1: because they go this route we try to get to school.

1137
00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:13,600
Speaker 1: He right here, they go through Duncan Donuts. He had

1138
00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:17,839
Speaker 1: the drift through, Like yeah, like Lebron, get your ass on, bro,

1139
00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:19,880
Speaker 1: we don't have a chance. We got they got Lebron

1140
00:53:19,920 --> 00:53:23,879
Speaker 1: to leave, made a crazy trade that you know it's

1141
00:53:23,880 --> 00:53:26,560
Speaker 1: still talked about, but ended up working for him and

1142
00:53:26,680 --> 00:53:29,719
Speaker 1: inquiring Kauai. Kauai came about this business just like you said,

1143
00:53:29,719 --> 00:53:31,480
Speaker 1: Like Russ, I don't give a funk. What do you think.

1144
00:53:31,520 --> 00:53:33,439
Speaker 1: I'm gonna sit out here and make sure my body

1145
00:53:33,520 --> 00:53:35,839
Speaker 1: is ready to play, still playing hurt for you. I'm

1146
00:53:35,840 --> 00:53:37,760
Speaker 1: gonna come get you a championship, and then I'm a bounce,

1147
00:53:37,920 --> 00:53:39,839
Speaker 1: get these six seven brades to the back and just

1148
00:53:39,840 --> 00:53:45,880
Speaker 1: stretch your whatever penitentiary brade job on the business as usual.

1149
00:53:46,040 --> 00:53:50,080
Speaker 1: The Calves and Lebron, The Calves are the Lebrons, two

1150
00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:52,120
Speaker 1: and one are different, whatever I would say, the Lebrons

1151
00:53:52,440 --> 00:53:55,839
Speaker 1: the Lebrons. Someone who went to the finals eight straight

1152
00:53:55,920 --> 00:53:59,320
Speaker 1: years and remember a handshake with every teammate, every crazy

1153
00:53:59,400 --> 00:54:01,840
Speaker 1: right handshake. It was incredible. He sat down at the

1154
00:54:02,080 --> 00:54:07,120
Speaker 1: at the pre postgame press conference and explain the whole

1155
00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:09,960
Speaker 1: first two or three possessions of the game to a

1156
00:54:10,040 --> 00:54:13,319
Speaker 1: reporter though, like that was crazy, Like how do you

1157
00:54:13,320 --> 00:54:16,000
Speaker 1: remember something at happened in the first possession again? And

1158
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:18,360
Speaker 1: they replayed it on TV and it was exactly you

1159
00:54:18,400 --> 00:54:21,320
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like that's crazy, he's crazy crazy

1160
00:54:21,440 --> 00:54:24,200
Speaker 1: your former team to San Antonio spurs Man, they picked

1161
00:54:24,320 --> 00:54:28,759
Speaker 1: up one championship in this decade, right, but just just

1162
00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:30,839
Speaker 1: a fifty win team every year, every year. And it's

1163
00:54:30,840 --> 00:54:32,400
Speaker 1: a plug and play to me, I compared to like

1164
00:54:32,480 --> 00:54:34,759
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots, you know, me and Popping Belichick,

1165
00:54:34,800 --> 00:54:37,120
Speaker 1: and they create these systems where they're able to plug

1166
00:54:37,160 --> 00:54:39,600
Speaker 1: and play guys and they're not necessarily all the time

1167
00:54:39,680 --> 00:54:41,359
Speaker 1: have the best players, but they're always a team that's

1168
00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:44,800
Speaker 1: going to be competitive winning fifty plus games for however

1169
00:54:44,800 --> 00:54:48,400
Speaker 1: many years, there was a lot of years by the

1170
00:54:48,440 --> 00:54:51,240
Speaker 1: funk out booting your ass party there, you got booted

1171
00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:54,839
Speaker 1: because I wasn't buy anything. You wouldn't corporate, I'm not

1172
00:54:55,480 --> 00:54:57,799
Speaker 1: giving man. At that time, I wasn't a company. What

1173
00:54:57,840 --> 00:55:00,920
Speaker 1: are you still not a company? You've never been to come? No, no,

1174
00:55:01,040 --> 00:55:04,399
Speaker 1: but what it was I was a great teammate. Always yeah,

1175
00:55:04,480 --> 00:55:08,440
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be leeling myself. That's okay moving around along

1176
00:55:08,480 --> 00:55:15,680
Speaker 1: the heat. It's crazy the heat. Uh, you gotta get

1177
00:55:15,680 --> 00:55:18,520
Speaker 1: something off your chest. Just good. You need a hug,

1178
00:55:19,480 --> 00:55:20,560
Speaker 1: and give you a hug. You came back to the

1179
00:55:22,920 --> 00:55:27,120
Speaker 1: definitely the Miami Heat the number two team of the decade,

1180
00:55:27,440 --> 00:55:30,440
Speaker 1: winning two out of four championships. They should have won more. Dog,

1181
00:55:30,600 --> 00:55:32,440
Speaker 1: I think definite should have won more. I just you know,

1182
00:55:32,480 --> 00:55:35,080
Speaker 1: I think they could have added something to a solid

1183
00:55:35,080 --> 00:55:37,120
Speaker 1: piece to back up Chris Bosh because he wasn't all

1184
00:55:37,160 --> 00:55:39,000
Speaker 1: the way there all the time and he didn't show

1185
00:55:39,080 --> 00:55:41,160
Speaker 1: up all the time. With d Wade and Brun, I

1186
00:55:41,200 --> 00:55:43,040
Speaker 1: just felt like that that makes they should have won

1187
00:55:43,080 --> 00:55:45,040
Speaker 1: more championships. It's a hell of comments, a hell of

1188
00:55:45,080 --> 00:55:48,360
Speaker 1: a duo. And then our team of the decade, the

1189
00:55:48,640 --> 00:55:52,480
Speaker 1: Going to State Warriors, three out of five championships, changed

1190
00:55:52,520 --> 00:55:57,279
Speaker 1: the game um NBA record for wins in the season.

1191
00:55:57,320 --> 00:56:00,160
Speaker 1: Although they didn't win the championship, they just I think

1192
00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:03,120
Speaker 1: they exemplified the old school way of doing it too.

1193
00:56:03,160 --> 00:56:05,640
Speaker 1: Outside of being able to get K D. Lure and KD. Away,

1194
00:56:05,520 --> 00:56:08,760
Speaker 1: they built through the draft and they had a great

1195
00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:11,920
Speaker 1: Core and Steph Clay and Draymond and people are tripping

1196
00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:13,960
Speaker 1: off what they're doing this year. And the way I

1197
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:15,560
Speaker 1: look at it as I mean, these guys are just

1198
00:56:15,560 --> 00:56:18,520
Speaker 1: getting a break, you know. I mean Steph and Clay

1199
00:56:18,640 --> 00:56:20,759
Speaker 1: probably played more basketball the last fire than any player

1200
00:56:20,760 --> 00:56:23,200
Speaker 1: in the history of the game. Uh. You know, Draymond

1201
00:56:23,239 --> 00:56:25,040
Speaker 1: is healthy, but I look at his numbers and he's

1202
00:56:25,080 --> 00:56:27,400
Speaker 1: only playing about twenties something minutes the game right now.

1203
00:56:27,440 --> 00:56:30,279
Speaker 1: What they're doing is letting Dillo do his thing so

1204
00:56:30,360 --> 00:56:32,799
Speaker 1: they can use him later if they need to trade him,

1205
00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:34,879
Speaker 1: because he's a hell of a player. And then they're

1206
00:56:34,880 --> 00:56:36,680
Speaker 1: finding out what these young players can. They got this one,

1207
00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:39,480
Speaker 1: Pascal I think his last name is or whatever. He's leading.

1208
00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:41,440
Speaker 1: He's leading all rookies and scoring, you know, and they

1209
00:56:41,480 --> 00:56:43,040
Speaker 1: he would have never got that opportunity if they have

1210
00:56:43,040 --> 00:56:44,920
Speaker 1: a healthy team. You know, you don't get to show

1211
00:56:44,960 --> 00:56:47,759
Speaker 1: your things. So the kid pool out of Michigan. So

1212
00:56:47,840 --> 00:56:50,080
Speaker 1: what they're doing is they're developing their young talent and

1213
00:56:50,120 --> 00:56:53,120
Speaker 1: they're having trade assets and then you mess running put

1214
00:56:53,120 --> 00:56:55,560
Speaker 1: two of the one of these young good players de

1215
00:56:55,719 --> 00:56:57,840
Speaker 1: low in a lottery pick because they're gonna probably be

1216
00:56:57,840 --> 00:56:59,280
Speaker 1: at the bottom and they're gonna be in the lottery.

1217
00:56:59,560 --> 00:57:01,239
Speaker 1: You trade for Janice and you're right back in the

1218
00:57:01,280 --> 00:57:03,640
Speaker 1: game next year. To close this show out, man, we

1219
00:57:03,640 --> 00:57:06,440
Speaker 1: wanted to say goodbye. I think this this the NBA

1220
00:57:06,560 --> 00:57:08,920
Speaker 1: is in great hands heading into two thousand twenty with

1221
00:57:08,960 --> 00:57:11,560
Speaker 1: a lot of young, bright stars. But you know, with

1222
00:57:11,600 --> 00:57:15,759
Speaker 1: the closing of this decade, we saw some great retire man.

1223
00:57:16,040 --> 00:57:21,080
Speaker 1: We saw some great Jason Kidd Bayerry do one of

1224
00:57:21,120 --> 00:57:24,480
Speaker 1: the all time great point guards. My vet o ge

1225
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:27,439
Speaker 1: story when Mike Bibby mom took me to try out,

1226
00:57:27,960 --> 00:57:30,080
Speaker 1: took me up there play beast pick up and Ja

1227
00:57:30,200 --> 00:57:33,280
Speaker 1: Kidd was there. I remember that like yesterday, like him

1228
00:57:33,280 --> 00:57:36,240
Speaker 1: to embrace me as a youngster. I always every time

1229
00:57:36,240 --> 00:57:38,040
Speaker 1: I see him, I thanking for that. But this was

1230
00:57:38,080 --> 00:57:40,400
Speaker 1: one of the best town business man to play against

1231
00:57:40,440 --> 00:57:42,960
Speaker 1: him in the finals where he was in his man

1232
00:57:43,440 --> 00:57:47,160
Speaker 1: and against Tony Park at the time that they were

1233
00:57:47,200 --> 00:57:49,520
Speaker 1: talking about trading in San Antonio. So I have a

1234
00:57:49,520 --> 00:57:53,400
Speaker 1: special shout out j Kidd absolutely, Dwayne Wade Flash we

1235
00:57:53,760 --> 00:57:56,600
Speaker 1: touched on them earlier. You know, great two way player

1236
00:57:56,640 --> 00:57:59,479
Speaker 1: before you know, the guy that could do everything. Someone played,

1237
00:57:59,480 --> 00:58:01,560
Speaker 1: even took pride in blocks like probably the all time

1238
00:58:01,640 --> 00:58:05,800
Speaker 1: leading guard and blocks or something like that. Amazing Kevin Garnett.

1239
00:58:06,720 --> 00:58:08,160
Speaker 1: We talked about him early in the show if he

1240
00:58:08,160 --> 00:58:09,520
Speaker 1: would have came to the We Believed team, but just

1241
00:58:09,560 --> 00:58:12,280
Speaker 1: what he's still for. I just wish everybody had his passion.

1242
00:58:12,760 --> 00:58:15,360
Speaker 1: It would be crazy. What if everybody had his pass

1243
00:58:15,440 --> 00:58:16,960
Speaker 1: for the games that it wouldn't be no for they

1244
00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:21,120
Speaker 1: point blow up. You got to get him on the show. Yes, Um,

1245
00:58:21,160 --> 00:58:22,960
Speaker 1: one of your former teammates and someone you love. Tim

1246
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:29,760
Speaker 1: Duncans and duncan big fundamentals are paintball team. Um, but

1247
00:58:30,120 --> 00:58:31,880
Speaker 1: I're gonna be the greatest pile for of all time.

1248
00:58:31,960 --> 00:58:35,120
Speaker 1: Can do it all, best teammate, super smart, you can coach,

1249
00:58:35,160 --> 00:58:37,120
Speaker 1: do him everything. If you want to start an organization,

1250
00:58:37,160 --> 00:58:39,160
Speaker 1: you started with Tim dunk The only thing I knocked

1251
00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:44,360
Speaker 1: on Timmy can't dress for ship words. You know. I'm

1252
00:58:44,360 --> 00:58:48,520
Speaker 1: but that was horrible. That was horrible. Uh. Someone who

1253
00:58:48,520 --> 00:58:51,240
Speaker 1: could could have been one of the greats, but just injury,

1254
00:58:51,240 --> 00:58:54,000
Speaker 1: bug and and and some bad luck was t mac

1255
00:58:54,640 --> 00:58:59,800
Speaker 1: Man Killer because he jumped so high but all but

1256
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:02,320
Speaker 1: shot with similar to clay like. He was always a

1257
00:59:02,360 --> 00:59:05,600
Speaker 1: straight range get to the basket dunk on your shoes.

1258
00:59:06,360 --> 00:59:08,680
Speaker 1: He's one of the best top ten scorers of all time.

1259
00:59:08,720 --> 00:59:11,160
Speaker 1: I agree. I think he's definitely up there. Slept on

1260
00:59:11,400 --> 00:59:15,040
Speaker 1: Steve Nash, two time, two time MVP, former teammate of mind,

1261
00:59:15,080 --> 00:59:17,000
Speaker 1: just saw the floor like no one I've ever seen,

1262
00:59:17,440 --> 00:59:19,200
Speaker 1: you know, up there with you know that the magic

1263
00:59:19,320 --> 00:59:21,560
Speaker 1: Johnson and Chris Paul's as you know, being able to

1264
00:59:21,560 --> 00:59:23,280
Speaker 1: see the floor and make place for others always made

1265
00:59:23,280 --> 00:59:25,880
Speaker 1: his teammates better. Great guy on and off the court,

1266
00:59:26,480 --> 00:59:28,160
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, he had a hell of a

1267
00:59:28,240 --> 00:59:31,480
Speaker 1: round and Steve move hip to y'all think too still stute,

1268
00:59:31,640 --> 00:59:35,959
Speaker 1: super Yeah, he get down, Steve, Steve, get down. Paul

1269
00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:42,479
Speaker 1: Pierce the truth very under He's really underst like stuff

1270
00:59:42,520 --> 00:59:44,600
Speaker 1: out of this game, WI add it him? Paul Pierce

1271
00:59:44,720 --> 00:59:47,959
Speaker 1: was all around killer, the best. He has the best

1272
00:59:47,960 --> 00:59:51,440
Speaker 1: footwork I've ever seen in any basketball player in my life. Footwork,

1273
00:59:51,520 --> 00:59:55,440
Speaker 1: crazy clutched gene crazy three pointer, mere range and get

1274
00:59:55,440 --> 00:59:58,600
Speaker 1: there and dunk on you talk shit, played at his pace,

1275
00:59:59,760 --> 01:00:06,959
Speaker 1: play to his pace. Uh, Dirk man killer. I don't

1276
01:00:08,320 --> 01:00:10,680
Speaker 1: We had some wars, but I really think I would

1277
01:00:10,680 --> 01:00:12,280
Speaker 1: love to get him in and talk to him about it.

1278
01:00:12,320 --> 01:00:14,360
Speaker 1: I think we really made him better with the ship

1279
01:00:14,480 --> 01:00:17,760
Speaker 1: we did to him, and during that we believe because

1280
01:00:17,760 --> 01:00:21,240
Speaker 1: he was the MVP that season wins, but we for

1281
01:00:21,240 --> 01:00:23,440
Speaker 1: the first time, like people like me and you guarded

1282
01:00:23,480 --> 01:00:25,120
Speaker 1: him and we changed the game and every time he

1283
01:00:25,440 --> 01:00:27,640
Speaker 1: you know, he turned like so we tried to punk

1284
01:00:27,760 --> 01:00:31,840
Speaker 1: him out of the series and it worked. We took it,

1285
01:00:31,920 --> 01:00:35,600
Speaker 1: but then he came back absolute animal. So that's why

1286
01:00:35,600 --> 01:00:37,200
Speaker 1: I think. I really think like we were like that,

1287
01:00:37,360 --> 01:00:39,440
Speaker 1: like little dogs just nagging the funk out of him

1288
01:00:39,640 --> 01:00:41,640
Speaker 1: and kind of put them on, you know, put more

1289
01:00:41,680 --> 01:00:43,920
Speaker 1: toughness in him and came back with a vengeance. You

1290
01:00:43,960 --> 01:00:46,120
Speaker 1: had to go home. That's something after losing that first round,

1291
01:00:46,240 --> 01:00:48,520
Speaker 1: like the wounds, Like what did these motherfucker's due to us?

1292
01:00:49,040 --> 01:00:52,240
Speaker 1: The rat for everything. We just loved to these dudes,

1293
01:00:54,680 --> 01:00:56,720
Speaker 1: just the killer. He was one of my favorite players man,

1294
01:00:57,000 --> 01:00:58,440
Speaker 1: just to be able to do what he can do

1295
01:00:58,560 --> 01:01:00,919
Speaker 1: to like, you know, one of the original st Etch four's,

1296
01:01:01,320 --> 01:01:03,640
Speaker 1: the one leg fade away, like there was nothing you

1297
01:01:03,680 --> 01:01:06,840
Speaker 1: can do with He was just a miss mismatched nightmare.

1298
01:01:06,920 --> 01:01:10,280
Speaker 1: Top five all time, not top five, but he's out there.

1299
01:01:12,280 --> 01:01:15,200
Speaker 1: We have to see Dirk. Dirk is tough. He said,

1300
01:01:15,200 --> 01:01:16,960
Speaker 1: if they got thirty, got thirty plus, didn't he You

1301
01:01:17,040 --> 01:01:18,840
Speaker 1: got a lot of points, so he should. I think

1302
01:01:18,880 --> 01:01:22,600
Speaker 1: Dirk is top. If he has thirty, he has to

1303
01:01:22,600 --> 01:01:26,240
Speaker 1: be top five. Right, players of all time? Scores, Oh,

1304
01:01:26,280 --> 01:01:27,840
Speaker 1: scores of all time. Yeah, I'm not sure where he

1305
01:01:27,880 --> 01:01:29,880
Speaker 1: ranks on the list. I think I think he stapped five.

1306
01:01:29,960 --> 01:01:31,280
Speaker 1: Let us know, you know, they don't know, they know

1307
01:01:31,320 --> 01:01:35,240
Speaker 1: the facts. And then like he said, Kobe Bean, twenty

1308
01:01:35,320 --> 01:01:37,080
Speaker 1: years in the game, you get a hundred points of

1309
01:01:37,120 --> 01:01:42,120
Speaker 1: your way out right, five championships. One of the most

1310
01:01:42,160 --> 01:01:45,760
Speaker 1: mentally tough players I've ever seen. His mental approach was

1311
01:01:45,800 --> 01:01:47,840
Speaker 1: second enough from me, just all around great. And then

1312
01:01:47,880 --> 01:01:50,800
Speaker 1: like you said, like who goes out with sixty points?

1313
01:01:50,920 --> 01:01:54,040
Speaker 1: I mean people, people, people living in in in the

1314
01:01:54,080 --> 01:01:56,040
Speaker 1: in the moment, and they don't understand how great Kobe

1315
01:01:56,080 --> 01:01:58,040
Speaker 1: is because they said they're watching So they're watching a

1316
01:01:58,080 --> 01:02:01,640
Speaker 1: great player right now, Lebron. But Kobe was special man

1317
01:02:02,360 --> 01:02:04,760
Speaker 1: kill and then last but not least, someone who's still

1318
01:02:05,880 --> 01:02:09,000
Speaker 1: pushing along at twenty two years Vince carter Man shout

1319
01:02:09,000 --> 01:02:13,680
Speaker 1: out Vince and bro. He took the He took the

1320
01:02:13,680 --> 01:02:15,440
Speaker 1: world by storm when he came into the game, and

1321
01:02:15,560 --> 01:02:17,600
Speaker 1: in the nineties, and and what he was doing when

1322
01:02:17,600 --> 01:02:19,920
Speaker 1: he did for Toronto, and uh, you know, for him

1323
01:02:19,960 --> 01:02:22,640
Speaker 1: to be able to steal the longevity to play twenty

1324
01:02:22,680 --> 01:02:25,360
Speaker 1: two years in the NBA, like that's hard to do.

1325
01:02:25,520 --> 01:02:28,000
Speaker 1: He also put a spark back in the Olympics too,

1326
01:02:28,200 --> 01:02:32,040
Speaker 1: when he dunked over that. The only thing I didn't

1327
01:02:32,040 --> 01:02:33,360
Speaker 1: like about it he tried to grow it. And I

1328
01:02:33,360 --> 01:02:34,960
Speaker 1: told him that he tried to grow a ship out

1329
01:02:35,000 --> 01:02:38,760
Speaker 1: that years. Ship was fuck. I don't know what that was.

1330
01:02:39,640 --> 01:02:42,680
Speaker 1: I told him to his face, Man, cut that ship off,

1331
01:02:42,720 --> 01:02:44,960
Speaker 1: I told him later once we played together, but that

1332
01:02:45,000 --> 01:02:47,960
Speaker 1: ship was got awful. But outside of that, he was incredible,

1333
01:02:49,000 --> 01:02:51,560
Speaker 1: one of the most athletic skilled players that we've ever seen.

1334
01:02:51,680 --> 01:02:56,080
Speaker 1: So it's been a hell of a decade, you know.

1335
01:02:56,080 --> 01:02:57,960
Speaker 1: Like I said, the NBA is left in great hands.

1336
01:02:58,040 --> 01:02:59,840
Speaker 1: We gotta let a lot of young, up and coming

1337
01:03:00,000 --> 01:03:04,400
Speaker 1: talent with Luca and the Greek Free and Tree Young

1338
01:03:04,640 --> 01:03:08,640
Speaker 1: and Ben Simmons embed the list goes on. Like I

1339
01:03:08,680 --> 01:03:11,600
Speaker 1: said earlier, the Warriors aren't done yet. The Warriors will,

1340
01:03:11,680 --> 01:03:13,440
Speaker 1: you know, find a way to get back in the mix,

1341
01:03:13,600 --> 01:03:16,000
Speaker 1: you know, can the Lakers, can Lebron bring the Lakers

1342
01:03:16,080 --> 01:03:19,160
Speaker 1: back to to prominence. Can PG and Kauai bring the

1343
01:03:19,160 --> 01:03:22,160
Speaker 1: Clippers their first title? Uh? You know, I'm excited to

1344
01:03:22,160 --> 01:03:25,080
