Speaker 2: an exciting, tremendous young player who was worth suitable for framing,

159
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 2: worth the price of admission. But don't turn into that guy.

160
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 2: Don't be Cad Cunningham. Don't be the guy who has

161
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 2: to pat hisself on the back of Kate. I don't

162
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 2: want to call you, Cad Cunningham, don't beat Lebron James,

163
00:08:56,080 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 2: be Michael Jordan, whoever's giving you the advice or telling

164
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,679
Speaker 2: you you're feeling yourself or you feel like you need

165
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 2: to say who you are. You know what Michael Join

166
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 2: used to say every time they would go up to

167
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:10,680
Speaker 2: reporters and ask him about him being the.

168
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 1: Great, I didn't play against everybody.

169
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 2: I can't value judge myself and say I'm the best

170
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 2: player ever played. I didn't play against everybody, or he'd say,

171
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 2: that's not for me to determine. And Cad Cunningham is

172
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:27,439
Speaker 2: in the same exact spot, dude, there's some great players

173
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:31,599
Speaker 2: in the league as well. Do not feel yourself to

174
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 2: the point where you think SGA ain't in the mix,

175
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,079
Speaker 2: the joker ain't in the mix. And then the best

176
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 2: part of all of this, while he's out feeling himself

177
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 2: and smelling himself. And we'll get to this as well.

178
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 2: There was a straw poll of the voters, not Pistons fans,

179
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 2: not Kelvin Washington and guys like that. And for the

180
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 2: guy who says he's the MVP now and he's the

181
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,559
Speaker 2: best player in the league, a best American player in

182
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:05,839
Speaker 2: the league. Somehow he only got one first place vote

183
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 2: in the straw poll, came a distant third, not even

184
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 2: close one first place vote.

185
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: So this is premature.

186
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 2: Pumped the breaks and be better, Cad, don't be Cad,

187
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 2: don't be Lebron.

188
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 1: When he told everybody, oh.

189
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, remember we came back from three to one and

190
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 2: when I became the vote, how did that work out

191
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 2: for him?

192
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 1: You don't have to do that.

193
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 2: Keep doing what you're doing, keep playing hard, keep winning.

194
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 2: The accolades will follow. If somebody asks you, you don't

195
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:45,599
Speaker 2: have to answer with that. That's not the voters. You

196
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 2: don't have a vote. I hate to break it to

197
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 2: you as much as you want to say I'm the MPE.

198
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:58,959
Speaker 1: Guess what, you don't have a vote. That's it. That's it,

199
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 1: all right. So this is why I know you were

200
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 1: soft stuff yesterday when I told you you came back

201
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 1: from wine country and you brought a bottle of wine

202
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 1: with you, because you know what, you sat up here

203
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 1: and told me yesterday that you wanted Kay Cunningham to

204
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: not give qualifiers, to say he is the best player

205
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: in the in the country and the best player period

206
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: in the league, not the best American. That's what you said.

207
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 1: So now he comes on and says he's the MVP,

208
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 1: and now you got a problem with it. Kay, Cunningham

209
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: is usually what you're referring to. And I get what

210
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 1: you're saying, and he's been that guy. But I think

211
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 1: also because he's been playing in Detroit, they've been bad

212
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,319
Speaker 1: for you know, the majority of his career there, and

213
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,319
Speaker 1: then last year they finally got good, and then obviously

214
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: this year they're really good. I think he's having a

215
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:41,959
Speaker 1: moment where he filled himself. He just put up a

216
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 1: great game in Madison Square Garden. You know, people are,

217
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 1: you know, asking him tough questions. He didn't say it publicly,

218
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 1: so I hear what you're saying. He chose not to

219
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 1: say it publicly. Vinnie off to the side obviously covers

220
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,959
Speaker 1: the Pistons for four to four letters, and so he

221
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 1: quietly told Vinnie, who he talks to, has relationship with,

222
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: this wasn't a public thing. We made it public. Rob

223
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 1: g bringing it up made it public. But he said

224
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 1: it quietly. He said it privately to to Vinnie. But

225
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: I don't I don't I don't have a problem with it.

226
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: I totally get what you mean. If this becomes something

227
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 1: where every time he has a microphone he's saying something,

228
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 1: I would even be like, all right, kay, we might

229
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 1: have to relax a little bit. But I like exactly

230
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:22,439
Speaker 1: what he's doing. I think he's he's been incredible if

231
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 1: you look at what he's doing. As far as clutch time,

232
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 1: Why are voters? Why why does he have one first

233
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 1: place vote in a straw poll? Here we are in

234
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,959
Speaker 1: almost March, the season is coming to an end. So

235
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 1: I hear you.

236
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 2: But the voters, the people actually vote, don't have them

237
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 2: in that conversation.

238
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 1: And that's a great point. That's all. That's all why

239
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,679
Speaker 1: it changes. It changes off of the first game back

240
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,599
Speaker 1: national game, everybody's watching, and you ball out in that

241
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:49,599
Speaker 1: in Madison's career guard against the team who took you

242
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 1: guys's heart in the playoffs, you ball out. You started

243
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 1: to get all these conversations. You had the whole GQ

244
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,199
Speaker 1: spread for a god that's normally quiet. You got a

245
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: great GQ spread that a lot of people pull little

246
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 1: snippets out of from that. And then you go out

247
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: and ball, and then more importantly, you ball in crunch time.

248
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: So that's been a great thing for him because usually

249
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: you got guys like Jalen Brunston who are incredible at

250
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 1: crunch time. He scored nineteen and a fourth twice this season,

251
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 1: which is the most in the league. He leads all

252
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 1: players in total average fourth quarter points this season.

253
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 2: All that you're saying, the guys who cover the league

254
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 2: on a daily basis, who are the voters?

255
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: Not not happens? Who are the voters? So they don't

256
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: see any of that all the way up until I'm

257
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 1: saying he had a moment that now people are gonna go, oh, like,

258
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 1: guarantee you the odds were What was he warning when

259
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 1: you don't win the MVP? He has a great chance. No,

260
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 1: that's not what I asked you. And he went from

261
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:42,319
Speaker 1: thirteen hundred to five hundred. Is he going to what

262
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,839
Speaker 1: I'm MVP? No, I'm just as season as to win.

263
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 1: But he absolutely he'll be second. He has a great chance.

264
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: If they win the East by six seven, eight games,

265
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:56,199
Speaker 1: like you know, they're up like five and a half

266
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,960
Speaker 1: six er right now. He has a great chance. There's

267
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 1: no really bad anybody else. What a better chance to

268
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:02,160

306
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 1: nine on Fox Big Game last night, NBA comes back

307
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 1: from the All Star break. You got the Pistons who

308
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 1: beat the Knicks handedly forty something and ten from Cade

309
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 1: and had an off comment, off air comment to any

310
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 1: good will, and he said that he believes he is

311
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 1: the MVP, said that he thinks he's playing at an

325
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 6: Oh?

326
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 1: That's funny. I don't remember what it was? Well we had,

327
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 1: but you know to Marty, there there you go.

328
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 4: I'm taking it.

329
00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 7: No fellas, no what I'm like. Rob's advice here, Uh

330
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,440
Speaker 7: kay Cunningham. If he if this come out by accident,

331
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:07,919
Speaker 7: it's not too bad, but he needs to be more careful.

332
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 7: And I and here's why Rob rivers dealing with the

333
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 7: same issue right now on a much smaller scale. He

334
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 7: feels like he's being underestimated. And I've been telling him

335
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 7: to savor it and use it. Uh let it drive you.

336
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 7: Being underestimated is the best advantage you ever get, because

337
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 7: once everybody knows who you are, isn't that targets on

338
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 7: your back. You don't want to put it on your back,

339
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:35,880
Speaker 7: you be let let people underestimate you until they can

340
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 7: no longer underestimate you.

341
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just think and it might be that he

342
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,640
Speaker 2: Brew he grew up in a lebron era where he's

343
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 2: got to tell everybody. And after he won a championship,

344
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 2: you remember, he said, now where's my damn respect?

345
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 1: Like you shouldn't have to say that. Don't that with me?

346
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:54,639
Speaker 1: To make sure he didn't say this publicly when he

347
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:56,440
Speaker 1: was asked, he said, look, we got a lot to prove.

348
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 1: We still trying to work. We still got it, just

349
00:17:58,119 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 1: like yesterday we talked about it. The reason why he

350
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,440
Speaker 1: say it was the best this was this was offhand

351
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 1: comment to Vinnie, just one on one talking and obviously

352
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 1: Vin Vinnie took it all over all the shows and everything.

353
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 1: It picked up, but he privately he didn't say it publicly,

354
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 1: but he said it to Vinnie, who obviously felt comfortable

355
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 1: enough to talk about. You know that you recovering the league.

356
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:17,440
Speaker 1: Say no, but if somebody, if it was really a

357
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,400
Speaker 1: conversation with because Kenny asked me, he said, all right, man,

358
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 1: I know you said all that iron to MVP. I'm

359
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:23,360
Speaker 1: just trying to play stuff. But come on, you still

360
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 1: feel that way. And that's when he set it off

361
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 1: hand to him. So Kate said to me, he's trying

362
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 1: to be we haven't proved anything. We gotta win.

363
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 2: You remember I told you yesterday he said he got

364
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 2: to win more than Detroit. I just don't want him

365
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 2: to be cad cunning him. Andre in Massachusetts, you're in

366
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 2: the odd couple of Fox Sports Radio.

367
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 4: What's going on? Thanks to taking a call listen, I

368
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,439
Speaker 4: do have a problem with this coming from kid cunning

369
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 4: In because he's a new kid on the block.

370
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:48,199
Speaker 8: Right.

371
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 4: I'm happy for him in the season he's had. He

372
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:52,959
Speaker 4: pushed my New York Knicks last year when they had

373
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,199
Speaker 4: capable leadership under the two general Tom Tip though. They

374
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 4: pushed the Knicks, okay, But the year before that didn't.

375
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 4: They lose twenty straight games in Detroit twenty seven with

376
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 4: Monty Williams, who didn't want to be there in the

377
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 4: first place. Right, you threw them a bag. You said

378
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 4: they didn't want to coach. You throw them a bag

379
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 4: obviously going to take going to take the money, okay,

380
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,639
Speaker 4: and then it was a dumpster fire for those two seasons, Right,

381
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 4: so you're just now finding a little bit of prosperity

382
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 4: under the capable leadership of JB. Bickerstaff, who was doing

383
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 4: a good job in Cleveland before he comes to Detroit

384
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:21,879
Speaker 4: and he got the ship turned around. The point of

385
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 4: fact is how about you the number one season in

386
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 4: the Eastern Conference with all these injuries? First, right, the

387
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 4: Eastern Conference is wide open, Kate. Before you make these statements,

388
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 4: how about you make a playoff run.

389
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 6: I e.

390
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,159
Speaker 4: Tyree Tyliburton did last year getting team all the way to.

391
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:35,879
Speaker 8: The conference finals.

392
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,160
Speaker 4: Never mind the finals which is open because the East

393
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 4: we don't know what's going on. Right before you're starting

394
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 4: to step up, right, shake Gilgess, Alexander. He had the

395
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,920
Speaker 4: Tom Brady approach, He had the well done is better

396
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 4: than well set approach all right, taking OKAYC to the championship.

397
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 4: And I need to see that more from Kate. I

398
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 4: don't mind the confidence, okay, but there's other you know

399
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 4: what I mean. Don't go down the road of these

400
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:59,640
Speaker 4: uber confidence players that are getting car accidents in Charlotte

401
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 4: and then not playing basketball games in Kansas. All right,

402
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 4: you don't need that type of confidence to go out

403
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 4: there and show it and then people will give you

404
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:07,440
Speaker 4: the respect. Thanks taking a call.

405
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 2: All right, thank you Dion in Texas. You're on the

406
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 2: couple of Fox Sports Radio. What's up, Dion?

407
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 4: Hey, guys, Hey, I love case confidence.

408
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 2: I love his statement.

409
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:17,440
Speaker 4: He didn't announce it to the world.

410
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:18,679
Speaker 7: He was just talking.

411
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:21,119
Speaker 4: He was just being honest. And the truth is they

412
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,159
Speaker 4: lost twenty seven games in a row a couple of

413
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 4: years ago, and now they're the dog on one seed

414
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 4: and Oklahoma seated got a much better team than Detroit.

415
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:29,399
Speaker 5: So I love that.

416
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 2: And Detroit's playing in the East where Halliburton and Tatum

417
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:34,159
Speaker 2: are hurt too.

418
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:35,920
Speaker 1: Right. Do you have you factored that in?

419
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 6: That all?

420
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 4: Absolutely?

421
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:37,439
Speaker 7: Lot?

422
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 1: Fact Okay, So that's that's factored in. And let me

423
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:41,400
Speaker 1: tell you the beating everybody.

424
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 2: But that's why the voters have them with one first

425
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 2: place vote, because they're factoring in how weak.

426
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 1: Things used to. I guarantee we had this conversation. In

427
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:51,440
Speaker 1: two weeks it'll be will be completely different than that.

428
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,639
Speaker 1: Guarantee you that just like their minds went from the

429
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 1: thirteen hundred to five hundred. That's Vegas. That has nothing

430
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 1: to do with it. Wantee you know what, he will

431
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 1: not have one note, next time you know what Vegas does, yeah, Odd,

432
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 1: so that more people they don't tell you won't have

433
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 1: a single vote the next time they do this. Vegas

434
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 1: is nothing. Stop with the Vagas.

435
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 2: Guarantee you that they're trying to get people to put

436
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 2: money to make it attractive enough.

437
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 1: Vegas doesn't dictate anything. I guarantee it. The writers do right,

438
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,359
Speaker 1: and they about to write his name in. All right,

439

Speaker 6: Man?

452
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 1: We're doing good man. We were just talking about just

453
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 1: Kate Cuneham and obviously the way in which he played

454
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,640
Speaker 1: last night, Madison Square guard. Really to start the big

455
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 1: NBA second half here, really, third of the season, tell

456
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 1: me a little bit more. I want to start, since

457
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 1: you're in New York, what was the mindset? Because the

458
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 1: next kind of could say, well, hey, if times we

459
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 1: played the Pistons, we weren't fully loaded, we didn't have

460
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 1: our full roster, so well, this wasn't the excuse this time,

461
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 1: and in fact it was the opposite. The Pistons were

462
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 1: without their all star Jalen Durrant and also b Stewart,

463
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 1: one of their better players too. What was the mindset

464
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:27,680
Speaker 1: the Knicks and then how they ended up not working

465
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:28,159
Speaker 1: out for them?

466
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 8: Yeah? I mean, listen, they tried to downplay it as

467
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 8: just any other matchup, but given how those first two

468
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 8: games unfolded, losing by a combined sixty nine points, make

469
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 8: no mistake, this game meant a lot to them yesterday,

470
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:45,160
Speaker 8: if nothing else, just to change the narrative about these

471
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 8: two teams and the way this season has gone thus far,

472
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 8: especially in their head to head matchups. But to your point,

473
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 8: the Knicks were basically at full strength minus Buce McBride,

474
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:56,360
Speaker 8: who is probably going to be out for the rest

475
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 8: of the regular season, maybe into the playoffs. But the

476
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 8: Pistons are without their all center. They're backup big Man,

477
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 8: and the fact that they went in there and did

478
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 8: what they did behind forty two points from Kate Cunningham

479
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,399
Speaker 8: basically sent the message not only to the Knicks but

480
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 8: to the rest of the league that the Pistons are legit.

481
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 8: They're not going anywhere, and frankly, given the age of

482
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,639
Speaker 8: their roster, they're only going to get better. So that

483
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:24,639
Speaker 8: was a clear message across the bow. Shots fired across

484
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 8: the bow yesterday left out of the garden. That was

485
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,359
Speaker 8: as impressive a performance as you're going to see in

486
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:32,439
Speaker 8: the NBA this season.

487
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 2: I think that's a mouthful. Ryan, what about halla Burton

488
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:39,639
Speaker 2: coming back? Tatum in the East, I get it, the

489
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 2: Cavs have James Harden. It's a good game for Pistons.

490
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 2: They did it a number on the Knicks. But that's

491
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 2: what happened last night, that the Pistons are going to

492
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 2: the NBA Finals.

493
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:50,880
Speaker 1: After beating the Knicks.

494
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 8: To the NBA Finals, I think they're certainly a contender.

495
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:57,880
Speaker 2: To go to the I'm not saying it not a contender,

496
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 2: but I'm just saying, like there's a lot of factors

497
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 2: in the East. When you look at what's going on

498
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,399
Speaker 2: in the East, that opens it up Milwaukee.

499
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 1: Giannie is hurt. There's a lot of things going on.

500
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,879
Speaker 2: That's not to take anything away from what they've been

501
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:15,119
Speaker 2: able to do, but this is not the Western we

502
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 2: would admit, right, the West is way tougher.

503
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:18,399
Speaker 1: Than the East.

504
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 2: And with those injuries, and they're a younger team and

505
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:24,159
Speaker 2: they got a great player in Kay Cunningham, it just

506
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 2: seems like it's a little over the top that the

507
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 2: Pistons have arrived and.

508
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 1: They're they're gonna be running the East from here on out.

509
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 8: I just think that, I mean, yeah, I mean, I

510
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 8: don't know if you can say that they're running the

511
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 8: East from here on out. But for a team that

512
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 8: has frankly the best record in the NBA, they have

513
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 8: certainly had to try to prove themselves over and over

514
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 8: and over again in terms of you know, NBA analysts

515
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:49,639
Speaker 8: like yourself, writers across the league and making these statements

516
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:51,959
Speaker 8: and what more do they have to do? I mean,

517
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 8: you look at their nothing.

518
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:55,359
Speaker 1: They don't have to do anything else but doing what

519
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 1: they're doing. But I'm not ready to correct. I'm not

520
00:24:57,880 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 1: ready to crown them.

521
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 2: It would be different if Tatum was playing in Boston

522
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 2: and Halliburton was playing in India.

523
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 1: Time capsule, going back in time in front of them.

524
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 2: What if those teams were there and they were doing this,

525
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 2: I have a different conversation for you.

526
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:13,440
Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying.

527
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 8: Hey, listen, all you all you can do is play

528
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 8: the teams that are in front of you. You can't

529
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:20,359
Speaker 8: worry about injuries. Injuries are a part of the NBA

530
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 8: every year, so you can't let that affect the narrative.

531
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,679
Speaker 8: What they're doing this year, given how young they are,

532
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 8: is as impressive as something that we've seen in the

533
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 8: league in a long time. In my opinion, does that

534
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 8: make them the favorite to win the NBA Finals. No,

535
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 8: it does not, but it certainly puts them in the conversation.

536
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:41,119
Speaker 8: I think we can all agree on that.

537
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:43,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, let me ask you this. I want to go

538
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 1: back to the Knicks four a second here with the

539
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 1: idea that Mike Brown was brought in there to really

540
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:51,680
Speaker 1: finals or busts, because otherwise what was the point of TIBs.

541
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,720
Speaker 1: So they've had a good run, and they struggled for

542
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 1: a few weeks, and then all of a sudden they

543
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 1: got hot again in one eighth straight. Now they've I

544
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,719
Speaker 1: think They're two and three in their last five. How

545
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 1: important is this season for that team, in particular with

546
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 1: the age, with the fact that Giannis could be traded

547
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:09,680
Speaker 1: in the summer. How important is this season four the Knicks.

548
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean you talked about why Mike Brown was

549
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 8: brought in here, and that was to better manage the

550
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 8: starters minutes. Tom Pibodeaux, of course, his reputation playing his

551
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,639
Speaker 8: guys too many minutes they wear down in the playoffs.

552
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 8: They felt like and by day I mean Leon Rose

553
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 8: owner James Dolan. They felt like Tom Thibodeau the furthest

554
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 8: they could he could get that team was them going

555
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 8: to the Eastern Conference finals last year. They felt like

556
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 8: they needed somebody who could get them to that next level,

557
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:38,639
Speaker 8: get them to the NBA finals. And you look at

558
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 8: what Mike Brown has done, and I think we can

559
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 8: all agree that they have underachieved. Given the roster, given

560
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 8: the money they spent on these players, given the fact

561
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:50,120
Speaker 8: that they gave up five first round picks for Michale Bridges.

562
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 8: You know, I think they've underachieved across the board, and

563
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 8: people are pointing fingers at Mike Brown especially. Look no

564
00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:00,680
Speaker 8: further than Karl Anthony Towns, who is certainly taking a

565
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 8: step back this year under Brown, and there's been reports about,

566
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 8: you know, maybe Town's not fitting as well into his

567
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:11,400
Speaker 8: offense and Brown not dood enough to maximize Cat's potential.

568
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,920
Speaker 8: So there's a lot of factors here at play in

569
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:18,880
Speaker 8: games like last night are only gonna make those murmurs

570
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 8: grow even louder.

571
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 1: Frankly, Ryan Field go ahead, was gonna say, Ryan Field,

572
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,680
Speaker 1: ABC and New York Leeds Sports anchored there all with

573
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 1: the Akaba Robert Kevin on a funky flashback Friday.

574
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I still think for the Knicks, the only thing

575
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:33,399
Speaker 2: that matters is the postseason.

576
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 1: That that's where they have to make sure that they're there,

577
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 1: ready to go.

578
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 2: And even throughout these hiccups, winning every game in the

579
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 2: po even if they won all three games against the

580
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,879
Speaker 2: Pistons now or whatever it was, it doesn't mean that

581
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 2: you're going to advance and do what you need to do.

582
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 2: I think Cleveland is in out there. People don't want

583
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 2: to buy into Cleveland. James Harden. You know, there might

584
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 2: be one year that this guy finally clicks in and plays,

585
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 2: you know, given that he's not the main or whatever,

586
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:04,920
Speaker 2: has a good postseason and that could change things. But

587
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:08,479
Speaker 2: those three teams mostly are the teams you're looking at.

588
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:13,359
Speaker 2: Cleveland would Harden, I think changes the dynamics.

589
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 1: A little bit.

590
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 8: Do you agree with you on that? In Cleveland is

591
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 8: another team up until this last you know, stretch of

592
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 8: games that is underachieved this season based on what they

593
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 8: did last year. And I know injuries have certainly played

594
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 8: a part in them not being as good. They need

595
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 8: to get Evan Mobley healthy. But you already see what

596
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 8: Harden has done since coming on board. They what have

597
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 8: they won five six in a row already since he's

598
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 8: since the trade. So they are certainly a team not

599
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 8: to be forgotten. And you know, frankly for the Pistons,

600
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 8: that's probably not a matchup they would want in the

601
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 8: playoffs because Cleveland has to give them given them trouble

602
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 8: here the last couple of years. So I think there's

603
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 8: a lot to be ironed out here over the next

604
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 8: couple of months. But Rob, I agree with you, none

605
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 8: of this stuff matters until the postseason. Yeah, And I

606
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 8: think the NBA playoffs right now, I think if you

607
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 8: ask ten different people who's gonna win, you're gonna get

608
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 8: ten different answers. Yeah, I think that's good for the league.

609
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 8: I think it's his wide open as it's ever been

610
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 8: in Frankly, I can't wait for April to get here.

611
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's good. That's gonna be interesting because you got

612
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 1: some teams who we talked about. The caves there, Charlotte

613
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 1: could be a tough first round pick play game for

614
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 1: somebody who ends up being like a Piston Charlotte. Let

615
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 1: me ask you this. Obviously, you're you're born and raised

616
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 1: in Metro Detroit. You've seen all these Pistons teams. Rob

617
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 1: and I were talking about this the other day. Isaiah Thomas,

618
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 1: the zeke that you know, one of the greats, talked

619
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 1: about as well. Rob was saying that he kind of

620
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 1: wants this team, this Piston team, to have their own identity.

621
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 1: I was saying to me, they're just embodying what has

622
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 1: seemed to have worked throward the Pistons teams, whether it

623
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 1: be the Bad Boys or the Detroit Basketball playing hard,

624
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 1: hard nosed defense and tough.

625
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 2: I don't think you could recapture what happened in two

626
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 2: thousand and four. And I know they want Mason to

627
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 2: do that. I just think, why can't they have their

628
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 2: own identity.

629
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 1: I just I think it should be.

630
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 2: And I get it, you were there Ryan those eight

631
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 2: years were unbelieve to go to that arena and with

632
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 2: the horn, the work horn and mod and all of that,

633
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 2: and and I get it. You know, people want to

634
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 2: go back to what was great or whatever. But I

635
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 2: hope they build their own time.

636
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 1: I think they are. Though. If you if you've watched them,

637
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 1: follow them. They're doing this, you know, the whole business again,

638
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 1: the same thing, you know what I mean.

639
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 8: I mean, listen, they have a singular star, and you know,

640
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 8: you could argue Isaiah Thomas was the singular star of

641
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 8: the Bad Boys, but they were the sum of their parts. Frankly,

642
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 8: I think the Bad Boys and the O four team

643
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 8: where this Pistons team. I think Kate Cunningham is clear,

644
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 8: far and away the best player on the team. And

645
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 8: I think they are kind of carving their own identity

646
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 8: because of that, because they have a quote unquote singular star.

647
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 8: And you know, you can have a franchise that you know,

648
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 8: recognizes his pass and honors his pass and tries to

649
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 8: live up to its pass. And I think these guys

650
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 8: they understand what it means to play for the Pistons

651
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 8: and kind of the badge of honor that represents, and

652
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 8: I think they like going out there. I mean, you

653
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 8: guys have seen Jalen during get kicked out of games.

654
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 8: You saw when Isaiah Stewart gets kicked out of the games.

655
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 8: What are they doing. They're holding up their Detroit jersey

656
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 8: as they're going to the tunnel, letting the fans know

657
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 8: who they play for, and I think they are kind

658
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 8: of buying in a little bit to that Bad Boys mentality.

659
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 8: Do I think that that makes them the Bad Boys

660
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 8: Part three point zero? No, I don't think it makes

661
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 8: them that, But I think they're enjoying kind of being

662
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 8: a part of this storied franchise and kind of playing

663
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 8: into the tradition that goes.

664
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:29,280

719
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:27,360
Speaker 1: by one and that half. That's crazy home. Sometimes I

720
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:29,600
Speaker 1: know they played better, you know, they've been fighting this scene.

721
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 1: That's why I'm wondering, Like my goodness, I know, Uh,

722
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:35,600
Speaker 1: they just played last night the Nuggets. Jamal Murray played,

723
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 1: so maybe they're Yeah. I'm like, okay, they beat the Clippers.

724
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 1: Uh he lost to the Clipers lost the Clipper. It

725
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 1: was about one. Jamal Murray's out. Okay, I was gonna say,

726
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 1: somebody got to be outcause they know way Portland doesn't

727
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 1: mean that they can't win, right right, No, No, I'm

728
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:48,839
Speaker 1: with you, that's why. But I'm like Portland, Portland's been

729
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:49,479
Speaker 1: fighting if.

730
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 2: You follow that, and every time, like a big time

731
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 2: playing Wimby's out, they still win. Yeah, like like a

732
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 2: lot of times, it's like if it was that automatic

733
00:34:57,840 --> 00:34:59,360
Speaker 2: vasus because the guy was out. Yeah you know you

734
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:01,920
Speaker 2: know what I mean, as you'd always pick it automatically.

735
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, they's out there, So I'll pick the team

736
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 2: without their star and you will lo you will lose.

737
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:09,400
Speaker 1: You'd be surpropmars. And that's a good that's a good

738
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 1: thing to have too, that you can still compete and

739
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:14,279
Speaker 1: still play without your star players. Obviously you couldn't do

740
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:14,800
Speaker 1: it for that.

741
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 2: It can't be that predictable, you know what I mean,

742
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 2: like like otherwise there wouldn't be no betting.

743
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 1: If it was that about this all the time, dud

744
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 1: Dudes can play like four hundred and fifty guys for

745
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:29,239
Speaker 1: the reasons right, and they can play now again, what

746
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:32,319
Speaker 1: makes the star stars? They can do that every single night.

747
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 1: But dudes can drop thirty. You know, a guy you wit,

748
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:36,919
Speaker 1: he only everges eight, he can put up thirty tonight.

749
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 1: You can put up thirty five no matter what team

750
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 1: they get.

751
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:43,239
Speaker 2: To a position, what position that they're in, or you know,

752
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:45,760
Speaker 2: off the bench went to every one of those players

753
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 2: in the NBA was a star in high school, in

754
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:50,279
Speaker 2: college like they like just about you know, at some

755
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 2: point they were the best player on the court.

756
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 1: In the area wherever they grew up.

757
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:56,960
Speaker 2: Mister basketball, you go, you can go look and see

758
00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:58,360
Speaker 2: how may guys were missed basketball.

759
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:00,279
Speaker 1: They're on the bench now on some team that's the

760
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 1: crazy part, right, you think I'm the man, I'm the

761
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 1: one and only, and then you get in the league

762
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 1: and you clapping it up Gatorade guy, right, because he

763
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:09,239
Speaker 1: might have been missed a basketball and in a place

764
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:12,000
Speaker 1: where they didn't have a lot of good players, or

765
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 1: or they didn't have as many schools.

766
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:16,839
Speaker 2: You know, New York has ninety one high schools when

767
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:18,359
Speaker 2: I was there, ninety one.

768
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 1: Think of that number. I always marveled at that. That's

769
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 1: a you think, why do you think we don't have

770
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:28,239
Speaker 1: a lot for New York to be the biggest city

771
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:30,920
Speaker 1: in America. You know, it's it's New York City. We

772
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 1: know how much basketball. Why don't we get a lot

773
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:36,800
Speaker 1: of like Hoopers from there, like a lot of big names.

774
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:39,480
Speaker 1: I mean they was like basketball is the sport there.

775
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:41,279
Speaker 1: But you had a run and I think it goes

776
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:43,080
Speaker 1: back and forth. There was at one point was the
