Look, it can only look right because 71 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 3: it can't look any worse, Okay, so we can only 72 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 3: be heading in the right direction. 73 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 2: Right, I'm assuming that's how the feel of the town is. 74 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 1: Right. Listen, the year in. 75 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 4: Houston was a development year, and I know that is 76 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 4: a tough hill to swallow because Houston is the clutch city, 77 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 4: city of champions. 78 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 1: But sometimes you gotta. 79 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 4: Be patient with the process, and I think that the 80 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 4: city has done a great job being patient. But it's 81 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 4: just a part of it. So it's like, get your 82 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,360 Speaker 4: little joke sitting now, get that in. But you know, 83 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 4: when it's go time, just be prepared, Kelvin, be prepared, man. 84 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 3: Well, I mean the good, yeah, the good and the 85 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 3: good thing is all of the ladies down there who 86 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 3: work at particular venues where they may dance. If you 87 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,520 Speaker 3: catch my drift, James Harden may be coming back. That's 88 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 3: what the streets are saying. And you know he has 89 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 3: his jersey set up there in the rafters. And I 90 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 3: do not mean where the Rockets play. I mean at 91 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 3: the venues again where there's a certain type of dance happening. 92 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 3: King is coming home, James, James Harden, the beard will 93 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 3: be back. And that's what it's looking like. So all 94 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 3: those young butch is not good though for the young 95 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 3: players though, like it's gonna be training and working hard, 96 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 3: becoming professionals. Like, yeah, after the game, that James is like, yeah, anyway, 97 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 3: bump about that. You already head on out tonight. 98 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 1: Are you dropping bombs? Man? You're throwing out the takes already. Now, 99 00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 1: come on, man, we've been on the show. We've been 100 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 1: on about three you gonna be dumping the bomb man, You. 101 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 2: Don't my ears to the streets. 102 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 3: And that's what the streets are saying, is that the beard, 103 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 3: depending on how this all plays out for the seventy 104 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 3: six ers, the Beard maybe getting his beard waxed down 105 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 3: in Houston. It's all I'm saying. I'm just saying that anyway. 106 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 3: But let's stay what you just talked about there watching. 107 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 3: I mean, there's so much NBA to start. We can 108 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 3: start with what we what we saw earlier and the 109 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 3: with the New York Knicks in the Miami Heat game 110 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 3: reminiscent of nineteen ninety eight, no Van Gundy holding on 111 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 3: the Alonzo Morning's legs, though we didn't have to have that, 112 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,039 Speaker 3: at least not yet in the series. So you have 113 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 3: that game we can start with, or we can start 114 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 3: with the one we're watching right now, which is the Kings, 115 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,559 Speaker 3: who are tied up right now fifty nine to fifty 116 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,160 Speaker 3: nine with the Golden State Warriors Game seven. I mean, 117 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,479 Speaker 3: this is exactly what you kind of hope for. A 118 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 3: fascinating series, kind of a maybe a changing of the guard, 119 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 3: almost figuratively and literally in that Steph Curry, Now you 120 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:57,039 Speaker 3: got dearon Fox? Is this the last run for the King? 121 00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 3: For the Warriors? Are the Kings the upstarts. So there's 122 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,480 Speaker 3: a lot to get into. I'll start with Jimmy Buckets 123 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 3: and Michael Jordan's son that we didn't know. That's at 124 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 3: least again with the streets you're saying, Listen, you played 125 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 3: in the league so many years. I'm sure you played 126 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 3: against Jimmy. We all know he is such a good 127 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,160 Speaker 3: quality two way player. But I'm gonna ask you this, 128 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 3: can you think of a player who was above pedestrian good, 129 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 3: not great, all star at times, all star like probably 130 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:37,039 Speaker 3: majority of the time, not a superstar, not really box office, 131 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 3: but who turned it on in crunch time, clutch time, 132 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,840 Speaker 3: big moments like we've seen with Jimmy Butler. It isn't 133 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,839 Speaker 3: just this season we saw him will his team in 134 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 3: the bubbles to the finals. We saw them will to 135 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 3: a game, what was it, six games with the Lakers, 136 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 3: and he was phenomenal. 137 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 2: You could argue the best player in the series. 138 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 3: Have you seen anyone like this where throughout the season, 139 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 3: you know, case solid, good, you know, but turns it on. 140 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 3: We've seen the opposite. We've seen players who ball out 141 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 3: James Harden style through the regular season and bailout in 142 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 3: the postseason. Right, We've seen that happen. 143 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 1: It's like get third shot to h Town. He come 144 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 1: on right, helping, come on man. 145 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 3: But but you feel me so answer me that. Have 146 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 3: you who else is in that category? 147 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 4: I can argue and say that he's unique. I've never 148 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 4: seen it before. There's a guy that comes to mind, 149 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 4: but I felt like we knew how good he was, 150 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 4: but it wasn't to. 151 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 1: The level of Jimmy Butler. 152 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,599 Speaker 4: Jamal Crawford was a guy played with that when Jamal 153 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 4: wanted to turn it on, he was as good as 154 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,720 Speaker 4: anybody on the planet. We could have given him a 155 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:49,919 Speaker 4: last shot over with the Clippers in LA. But like 156 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,279 Speaker 4: Jimmy Butler, I call it a part time superstar. He 157 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 4: puts the cape on in Kelvin. 158 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 1: I like it. I like it. 159 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,799 Speaker 4: I've been heavily criticized because my superstar list is really 160 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,920 Speaker 4: like Gianni's just got on it. When he got a championship, 161 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 4: it's like Lebron, Steph, Katie Kyrie, like like I got 162 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 4: a really slim list. But I say that to say 163 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 4: it's high praise because Jimmy Butler, when he turns it on, 164 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 4: he is pound for pound Lebron for that night. 165 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 1: He is Kevin Durant, he is, he is any superstar. 166 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 1: He's might. 167 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 4: Also, I'm gonna say Jimmy Butler is Michael Jordan on 168 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 4: any given night. 169 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 3: Now, it's crazy as that sounds, that's not far fetched. 170 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 3: I mean, I get what you're saying. I mean he listen, 171 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 3: he's putting up forty something in the finals, making big shots, 172 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 3: willing his team. He ain't similar to Jordan, unlike maybe Steph, 173 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 3: unlike Curry some of the other guys you named. Katie 174 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 3: to an extent. He plays amazing defense as well, And 175 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 3: I think that's why his body gets beat up. You 176 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 3: see him turn that ankle. 177 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, we did see that. 178 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 4: He's he's just unique bro, and his personality is And 179 00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 4: then add in like, this is a guy who went 180 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 4: through turmoil. This is a guy who forced his way 181 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 4: out of Minnesota. This isn't like the story. But path 182 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 4: this is a guy I remember Jimmy Butler playing against him. 183 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 4: He came off the bench for TIBs over with the Bulls, 184 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 4: and TIBs will give him some post ups off in 185 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 4: the second unit. But like, you're right, those guys aren't 186 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 4: slated to necessarily be superstars. I'll give you another guy 187 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 4: who hasn't quite a Chris Middleton is a guy who 188 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,080 Speaker 4: went off in the NBA Finals. But you don't see 189 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 4: Chris Middleton like leading, Like Jimmy's the guy. So he's unique, dude, 190 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 4: he's unique. There aren't too many people on the planet. 191 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 4: And it's like Kelvin Krag if I'm wrong. It's almost 192 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 4: like if you agree with this or not, it's almost 193 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 4: like he Jimmy takes has like his crazy and then 194 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 4: he channels it into greatness and like he he alerts on. 195 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,319 Speaker 1: The line up it and you're like, it's just Jimmy, dude. 196 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 2: I mean Drew Holliday, Hey, I've been a nice guy. 197 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,080 Speaker 3: People love the story of you know, Drew Holliday, all 198 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,840 Speaker 3: his brothers in the league.

Let me tell 345 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 3: you something, Villain Brooks, this is when you get disappointed 346 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 3: and you see what social media. You see what the 347 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 3: character or character you can place and put on. Here's 348 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 3: what I mean. He saw, who am I going to 349 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:35,160 Speaker 3: be like? 350 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:36,000 Speaker 2: In the NBA? 351 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 3: He was at Oregon, he played well, he was probably 352 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 3: their best player. But you know, you're like, all right, 353 00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 3: he's not necessarily an NBA talent per se at an 354 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 3: All star type level. 355 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 2: So he looks at Draymond Green. He says this, there's 356 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 2: tweets about it. 357 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 3: Draymond Green is the type of guy he thought he 358 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:50,800 Speaker 3: would be, like, right, hard, nos, play defense, hit a 359 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 3: shot every now and again when I needed, but really 360 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 3: just not an offensive guy. 361 00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 2: But I can make my way in this league. 362 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 3: Draymond Green does that, gets on the right team, becomes 363 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 3: a star in the league, an All Star, probably a 364 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 3: Hall of Famer. He's like, I'm gonna do that. The 365 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:06,200 Speaker 3: difference is I'm from Michigan. Draymond Green's from Saginaw, Michigan. 366 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,480 Speaker 3: I saw and knew Draymond Green back in his day 367 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 3: in college at Michigan State. Draymond really is exactly what 368 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 3: you see. He's about that life whether it goes good, 369 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:17,480 Speaker 3: whether it goes bad, where he has a great game 370 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 3: or bad game. 371 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 4: And Villain Brooks, I'm not used to that yet. 372 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:23,240 Speaker 2: Go ahead, Yeah, I got it. 373 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 3: I need a trademarkt Villain Brooks went ahead and thought, 374 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 3: I'm gonna play this character. WWE. You saw what he 375 00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:31,520 Speaker 3: was saying. You saw he's walking into the arenas what 376 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 3: he was wearing. But I think you forgot this is 377 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 3: real life basketball. This is real life NBA with real 378 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:40,120 Speaker 3: life repercussions, and the repercussions are fans are gonna bow you. 379 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,040 Speaker 3: Every time you step in the arena or shoot, fans 380 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 3: are gonna be on your head on Twitter, NBA analysts 381 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 3: such as yourself, Ryan, and the Jalen Roses and the 382 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,680 Speaker 3: such and such as and the Skip and Shannon, they're 383 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 3: gonna be on your head. 384 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 2: And it's like he forgot that. 385 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 3: And so I don't know if he thought like you'd 386 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 3: be this villain talking reckless about one of the all 387 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 3: time greats, if not the greatest, say then saying that 388 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 3: what did you think was gonna come? 389 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:03,360 Speaker 2: Now? 390 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,680 Speaker 3: Stand on it? And I'm not mad if you stay Hey, 391 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 3: I said what I said. You know he's a great 392 00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:11,440 Speaker 3: They played well, and stand on. He ducked the media 393 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 3: three days in a row and he's now fine twenty 394 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:14,680 Speaker 3: five thousand. 395 00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:16,480 Speaker 2: I'm disappointed, Ryan, get your boy. 396 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:21,119 Speaker 4: I hear you. I agree. I want to give you 397 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:26,679 Speaker 4: some context. Also, first time I saw Dylan Brooks, I 398 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:28,920 Speaker 4: was playing in the Pan American Games. And what they 399 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 4: did is they brought free agent professionals to play along 400 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:34,879 Speaker 4: with the college seniors. And normally it's just the college 401 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 4: seniors and the Pan American hints Pan American, so North America, 402 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:43,679 Speaker 4: South America, America. We have a cup right, Canada was there. Okay, 403 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,439 Speaker 4: so Jamal Murray was there, Dylan Brooks was there. This 404 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 4: is before I knew what they were. As a matter 405 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:50,879 Speaker 4: of fact, Jamal Murray was still in high school. I 406 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,119 Speaker 4: don't think Dylan Brooks was too far from high school, 407 00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:56,879 Speaker 4: if not in high school himself. And I remember these 408 00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:00,720 Speaker 4: two mauthy kids on the Canadian side, and we're all 409 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,480 Speaker 4: going like why these dudes running their mouth like who 410 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:09,440 Speaker 4: are they? Dylan Brooks was probably seventeen, sixteen, seventeen eight, 411 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 4: between sixteen and eighteen years old, and he wasn't that 412 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:14,960 Speaker 4: good what he competed. 413 00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 1: He played hard. 414 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,480 Speaker 4: So I want to take my moment while everyone's calling 415 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,160 Speaker 4: the Dylan Brooks to say, give that brother his flowers. 416 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,280 Speaker 1: He was not supposed to be who he is in 417 00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:24,920 Speaker 1: the league. 418 00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:28,000 Speaker 4: Now that being said, I do think he made a 419 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:31,880 Speaker 4: major mistake, not by talking, because as I can tell 420 00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,920 Speaker 4: you from seeing Dylan Brooks at a young age, that's 421 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,560 Speaker 4: what makes him good, that's what makes his motor go. 422 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,479 Speaker 4: But I think the mistake, actually, I'm gonna give him 423 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,600 Speaker 4: two mistakes. One is a hypothetical, one is one that 424 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:44,919 Speaker 4: we know. One you already mentioned. 425 00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 1: Kelvin is that he didn't come and back up those 426 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 1: words that he said. 427 00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:50,520 Speaker 4: We can agree. He has to come and talk. He's 428 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 4: got to own it. He's got to give Lebron his props. 429 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 4: He's got to say, hey man, he's got to say something. Okay, 430 00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:59,119 Speaker 4: because he make a few shots. Yeah, yeah, with all 431 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 4: those shots. Absolutely, and I'm I'm not gonna hurt him 432 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,919 Speaker 4: for trying. It is who he is. But ultimately, at 433 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,680 Speaker 4: the end of the day, with Dylan Brooks, the mistake 434 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:12,960 Speaker 4: came in that I don't think his teammates were on 435 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,720 Speaker 4: par with what he was doing. And this is my assumption. 436 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 4: It looked like it hurt his team. It didn't look 437 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,479 Speaker 4: like a full team as a unit. We're saying that. 438 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,040 Speaker 4: The reason I say that is because when I played 439 00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:27,000 Speaker 4: in Boston, you mentioned trash talkers. I played with two 440 00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:31,679 Speaker 4: of the best. Okay, you mentioned Boston, Paul Pearson, Kevin Garnett, Right, 441 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:36,640 Speaker 4: Kevin Garnet said things when we played the Miami Heat 442 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,400 Speaker 4: to Lebron James in which I will not repeat. 443 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:40,879 Speaker 1: They cannot come out of my mouth. 444 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:45,439 Speaker 4: This trash talk open was that bad. But you know 445 00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:49,359 Speaker 4: the difference with our team makeup is we rallied around 446 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,680 Speaker 4: Kevin Garnett. We rallied around Paul Pierce for the things 447 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 4: that he said and they said, and it was our 448 00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:56,239 Speaker 4: mo We were I don't want to say we were 449 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,480 Speaker 4: the bad boys or villains, but we were hard nos, 450 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,639 Speaker 4: we were tougher, we executed. It was a veteran group. 451 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,760 Speaker 4: That was the mindset when we were there. Right, it 452 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 4: did not look Kelvin and correct me if I'm wrong 453 00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:10,560 Speaker 4: that the rest of his teammates Dylan Brooks were on 454 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 4: par with what was being said. And that's where I 455 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,119 Speaker 4: look at it and say, I don't know if that 456 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 4: was the best move. 457 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 3: You know what, I'm gonna have to disagree with you there. 458 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:24,159 Speaker 3: I think they're about that life as a whole. Like 459 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:26,920 Speaker 3: you see John Moran early in the season sitting down 460 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:28,680 Speaker 3: during an interview and he's like, I ain't worried about 461 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:30,639 Speaker 3: the West. No nobody in the West worries me. You 462 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:34,919 Speaker 3: heard what's your boy Desmond Bains talking about how you 463 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,040 Speaker 3: know they gotta u they gotta show me again and 464 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 3: ruiy Hachamour has to show me again. Like basically, we 465 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:40,679 Speaker 3: don't believe that he's gonna have that. You know, he 466 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 3: had a good game and can he got to show 467 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 3: me again? This is who they've been. They got the dances, 468 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,920 Speaker 3: they got the videos. And by the way, I love it. 469 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,680 Speaker 3: I'm one of the few people with man themiphicause he's 470 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:51,080 Speaker 3: shut up. 471 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 2: Man, they haven't done anything. 472 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,199 Speaker 3: I'm like, dude, we can't sit here and say the 473 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 3: entertaining the NBA.

I thought 582 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,479 Speaker 6: if it would have been a regular season game and 583 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 6: you got blown out by forty and you went out 584 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 6: with the fans and started singing that's funny. But this 585 00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:42,359 Speaker 6: was playoffs. You got blown out and eliminated and you 586 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:44,200 Speaker 6: walked out like that. Oh, I don't like that.

Like a real question, 589 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:51,000 Speaker 2: real question? 590 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:53,680 Speaker 6: Exit a different way? Or if you do come out 591 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:55,439 Speaker 6: that way and they're doing that, you don't join in. 592 00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:57,880 Speaker 6: You just walk out. You just walk to your car, 593 00:25:58,119 --> 00:25:58,959 Speaker 6: don't participate. 594 00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 3: See what I I?

I didn't play professional movie. 627 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:13,480 Speaker 2: Oh no. 628 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,159 Speaker 6: I would have walked right back into the arena and 629 00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:18,880 Speaker 6: be like, I'm a wait until this is done. Yeah, 630 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:20,120 Speaker 6: I'm not gonna walk out with these people. 631 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:24,760 Speaker 3: Y'all better have an office tournament of anything in here. Okay, games, 632 00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:27,400 Speaker 3: no nothing, I'm telling you right now, I'm on her team. 633 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:29,639 Speaker 1: Oh you guys context in a bit after that. 634 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,399 Speaker 6: All right, let's talk about Game seven because it is winner, 635 00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:36,879 Speaker 6: go home, and definitely the Warriors know that they're currently 636 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,080 Speaker 6: beating the Kings eighty two to seventy six, one minute 637 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,159 Speaker 6: to go in the third quarter. Steph Curry doing what 638 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,280 Speaker 6: he can. He's got thirty two points. He's thirteen of 639 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:45,080 Speaker 6: twenty seven from the field, which is not great, five 640 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:47,480 Speaker 6: to thirteen from the three point line. But Clay Thompson 641 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,640 Speaker 6: is three of thirteen from the field, one of six 642 00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:53,320 Speaker 6: from the three point line. So Curry is doing what 643 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:56,000 Speaker 6: he can to help the Warriors take this Game seven. 644 00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:59,280 Speaker 6: Mike Brown was just talking to the Kings and he 645 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:02,000 Speaker 6: was like, they want it more. And it's true because 646 00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:06,320 Speaker 6: the Warriors are out rebounding them in every way they 647 00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:10,000 Speaker 6: can forty four rebounds for the Warriors compared to thirty 648 00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:12,440 Speaker 6: six for the Kings. They just want the ball more. 649 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 6: This is Game seven, so the Kings need to step 650 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:17,159 Speaker 6: it up if they're gonna win this one in Sacramento. 651 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,480 Speaker 6: The Heat. They won Game one against the Knicks in 652 00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:21,200 Speaker 6: New York earlier today, one o waight to one on 653 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:24,040 Speaker 6: one was a final score. The big story Jimmy Butler 654 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,960 Speaker 6: totally rolled his right ankle late in the fourth quarter, 655 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:30,120 Speaker 6: but he stayed in there because he's a badass. Made 656 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,359 Speaker 6: his two free throws and ended with twenty five points 657 00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:35,720 Speaker 6: and eleven rebounds. This is what head coach Eric Spolsters 658 00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:37,480 Speaker 6: said about his injury after the game. 659 00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 2: You know, you just don't know, you know, with ankle sprains. 660 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:43,480 Speaker 2: I don't even know if we'll know more by tomorrow. 661 00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:44,560 Speaker 2: You know, we'll just have to see. 662 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:46,040 Speaker 7: It'll be a waiting game, you know. 663 00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:47,640 Speaker 6: But he did not want to come out of the game, 664 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,560 Speaker 6: you know, so we left him in there for Yeah, 665 00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,440 Speaker 6: that's right, because he's a badass in Major League Baseball. 666 00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,960 Speaker 6: The White Sox have lost ten in a row, and 667 00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,000 Speaker 6: they might win this one up on the Rays twelve 668 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,440 Speaker 6: to nine, bottom of the ninth inning. Oh, it might 669 00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:05,520 Speaker 6: have been the end. I think they just walked it off. Actually, 670 00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:07,160 Speaker 6: I think they just walked it off against the Rays. 671 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:10,479 Speaker 6: So the White Sox have snapped their ten game losing streak. 672 00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 6: Good for them.

Who got a quick one here? 841 00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:58,960 Speaker 3: What are you thinking the Kings are going to be 842 00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:01,799 Speaker 3: able to do the leaving Smota wide open? Draymond kind 843 00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:04,399 Speaker 3: of doing the Kaitlin Clark like, I ain't even gonna 844 00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:06,440 Speaker 3: guard you, bro, just you know, you wide open, Just 845 00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:08,719 Speaker 3: do what you want to do. Let me ask you 846 00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:12,040 Speaker 3: how difficult is that when you're sabonus, a skilled big 847 00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:14,799 Speaker 3: can hit the shot and you don't want to just 848 00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:17,399 Speaker 3: take it every time, But it's literally there every time 849 00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:19,400 Speaker 3: because Raymond is like, nah, I'm gonna go shade on 850 00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:21,359 Speaker 3: dearon Fox or shade on Monk a little bit. 851 00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:21,960 Speaker 2: You can have that. 852 00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:23,759 Speaker 1: Here's the thing. 853 00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:26,560 Speaker 4: The Kings have the best offense in the NBA, and 854 00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:29,840 Speaker 4: you have to pick their poison. And that's the poison 855 00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:32,800 Speaker 4: that Kurr is willing to pick. Because if he takes 856 00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:37,120 Speaker 4: that little fifteen footer and he misses that shot. It's 857 00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:41,759 Speaker 4: something that's on Sabonis's mind to answer. If they have enough, 858 00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:43,560 Speaker 4: here's the key I want you guys to look for. 859 00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:46,080 Speaker 4: If you are watching the game and blessed enough to 860 00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:49,799 Speaker 4: be listening to us, we appreciate you. If they can 861 00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:51,919 Speaker 4: get stops and get in transition, they got to speed 862 00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:53,239 Speaker 4: the game up. You see, the game is starting to 863 00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:55,880 Speaker 4: slow down. Golden State's grinding. They're getting good looks at 864 00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:59,080 Speaker 4: the rim, and that's what's really changing the ballgame right now, 865 00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:01,640 Speaker 4: so that that is the big difference in the game. 866 00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:04,640 Speaker 4: If they can do that, they will have a chance. 867 00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:08,120 Speaker 4: But right now they haven't been able to Golden State 868 00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:10,720 Speaker 4: is because the three balls getting taken away, they're getting 869 00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:13,040 Speaker 4: run off the three point line, they're making those second 870 00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:15,840 Speaker 4: and third passes and they're getting layups, they're getting found, 871 00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:19,520 Speaker 4: they're getting offensive rebounds because you have to overplay, and 872 00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:21,520 Speaker 4: that's what Golden State has taking advantage of it. And 873 00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:24,479 Speaker 4: that's what makes Golden State different is because they can 874 00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:27,680 Speaker 4: go ahead and grind, they can beat up your scouting report. 875 00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:29,920 Speaker 4: And when I say beat up the scouting report, it 876 00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:32,239 Speaker 4: means Hey, we're gonna take them off the three point line, 877 00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:34,600 Speaker 4: so they drive, and when they go to drive, then 878 00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:35,640 Speaker 4: they start hitting threes. 879 00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:38,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I mean that's why they're raining champs. 880 00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:40,400 Speaker 3: And by the way they might be are they like 881 00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:43,440 Speaker 3: the most and could be recency biased, So I'm let 882 00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:46,040 Speaker 3: me pause for a runner, But oh my god, I 883 00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:49,160 Speaker 3: feel like because it's been a struggle, they were horrific 884 00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:50,360 Speaker 3: on the road. 885 00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:54,200 Speaker 2: This has been one of the more like warrior teams 886 00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:55,560 Speaker 2: that are rainting champs that we. 887 00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:58,240 Speaker 3: Totally don't talk about in the sense we're just like, hey, 888 00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:00,680 Speaker 3: like all the Lakers get healthy, all look at Boston 889 00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:02,640 Speaker 3: do what they do. Man, this is the year Janni's 890 00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:04,799 Speaker 3: gonna win it again. Like, I feel like the war 891 00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:07,040 Speaker 3: has kind of just been, which is probably how they 892 00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:09,760 Speaker 3: prefer it, right us to kind of put bury them alive, 893 00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:11,200 Speaker 3: and then they all of a sudden do what they do. 894 00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:14,560 Speaker 3: When they do what they do, it just seems like 895 00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:17,319 Speaker 3: they're right there to make, you know, get right back 896 00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:19,160 Speaker 3: in this thing and you never know how another finals 897 00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:20,560 Speaker 3: run like they did last year when it was kind 898 00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:22,719 Speaker 3: of out of the blue. So we'll keep an eye. 899 00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:24,560 Speaker 3: We'll keep an eye on this game. I do when 900 00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:26,400 Speaker 3: we come back. I do want to ask you this 901 00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:32,640 Speaker 3: here about Yannis. Yannis, do you the whole failure not failure? 902 00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:33,320 Speaker 2: Sam? 903 00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:36,000 Speaker 3: When we come back, do we have the sound from you? Honest, 904 00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:37,880 Speaker 3: I'm sure we do somewhere right if I want to. 905 00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:41,080 Speaker 3: I want to contextualize this with someone like yourself, Ryan, 906 00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:42,920 Speaker 3: who spent so many years in the NBA, even if 907 00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:44,359 Speaker 3: you go back to college, just trying to, you know, 908 00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:47,439 Speaker 3: play sports where it really is something where we say, hey, 909 00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:49,440 Speaker 3: did you win or lose? That's what we care about. 910 00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:52,880 Speaker 3: But I do think with Yannis it poses a different 911 00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:55,040 Speaker 3: type of thing. So we'll get into that in just 912 00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:55,520 Speaker 3: a little bit. 913 00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:55,759 Speaker 1: Again. 914 00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:57,960 Speaker 3: So we're gonna be watching this game seeing what happens next, 915 00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:00,520 Speaker 3: because obviously if whoever wins this game is me facing 916 00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:03,040 Speaker 3: the Lakers. If you're the NBA, I think you're drooling. 917 00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:06,240 Speaker 3: If you get a Lakers Warriors Lebron Curry at it again, 918 00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:08,920 Speaker 3: you gotta be drooling like this is a great situation 919 00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:11,120 Speaker 3: for them. And if you're the Warriors, you got to 920 00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:13,439 Speaker 3: be excited the fact that Andrew Wiggins is back because 921 00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:15,200 Speaker 3: they just showed him on the Tevani he's playing well. 922 00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:16,799 Speaker 3: So We'll keep you updated.

Unless the 938 00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:02,240 Speaker 3: Kings make some incredible push and get down maybe five 939 00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:04,080 Speaker 3: or six with a couple of minutes left, this looks 940 00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:07,080 Speaker 3: like this thing maybe over and so all of a sudden, 941 00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:09,719 Speaker 3: you see, and really even with the Lakers close out game. 942 00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:11,680 Speaker 2: I was there that night, Ryan, you kind of. 943 00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:15,920 Speaker 3: Just see proven champions and the Lakers with Lebron and 944 00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:18,520 Speaker 3: Ad having had been there, and obviously Lebron a bunch 945 00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:21,160 Speaker 3: of times before figuring out a way to get it done. 946 00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:23,440 Speaker 2: You're seeing the Warriors now figuring out a way to 947 00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:23,839 Speaker 2: get it done. 948 00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:25,279 Speaker 3: And I want to say this because I'm getting a 949 00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:26,960 Speaker 3: text from a certain friend of mine. 950 00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:28,440 Speaker 2: Listen, one of the things. 951 00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:31,279 Speaker 3: I like to do is that not that I was 952 00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:35,080 Speaker 3: wrong or that Okay, let me publicly show the love 953 00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:36,959 Speaker 3: when somebody does something. You know, how you say, maybe 954 00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:38,920 Speaker 3: a player, I would love to see them do this, 955 00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:41,360 Speaker 3: or I would love to see them do that. Steph 956 00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:44,200 Speaker 3: Curry is phenomenal, the greatest shooter we've ever seen, one 957 00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:45,960 Speaker 3: of the best of all time. But one of the 958 00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:49,480 Speaker 3: things I've always critic been critical of, not criticized him, 959 00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:51,840 Speaker 3: but been critical of is when people put him in 960 00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:53,319 Speaker 3: like alwa, he's the best player in the NBA. You know, 961 00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:55,200 Speaker 3: for a few years, I'm like, well, it's hard for 962 00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:58,600 Speaker 3: me to say that when someone was so singularly focused 963 00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:02,320 Speaker 3: like just scoring, not obviously Draymond's probably their best passer, 964 00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:05,600 Speaker 3: he's not obviously the best defender, he's not their best rebounder. 965 00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:07,799 Speaker 3: And for me, it was like he is incredible, but 966 00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:09,520 Speaker 3: people were like, oh, he's better than this player, all 967 00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:11,200 Speaker 3: time greats. He's better than this all time great And 968 00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:13,160 Speaker 3: it was always kind of like a right hold on 969 00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:15,440 Speaker 3: a little bit. My biggest thing, Ryan, you can appreciate 970 00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:19,360 Speaker 3: this was I always wanted to see if he himself, 971 00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:21,920 Speaker 3: singularly could get it done. And he had had to 972 00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:23,759 Speaker 3: do that the way the team works, the way the 973 00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:25,680 Speaker 3: system works. He can run around and give the ball back. 974 00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:27,239 Speaker 3: Run aroun run right, run around, get the ball back. 975 00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:27,799 Speaker 1: Run. 976 00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:29,480 Speaker 3: I wanted to see every now and can you just 977 00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:31,759 Speaker 3: hold the ball and get a bucket? Can you just 978 00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:33,520 Speaker 3: hold the ball and make it happen? Can you just 979 00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:35,919 Speaker 3: be the guy to get it done? In the last 980 00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:38,000 Speaker 3: few seasons, he's been able to do that, even in 981 00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:40,640 Speaker 3: the postseason last year. You even saw it when they 982 00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:43,480 Speaker 3: lost the season before, I think was in the play in, 983 00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:45,880 Speaker 3: but he was still able to get it done. A 984 00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:48,960 Speaker 3: lot of credit to him for just being like, hey man, 985 00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:52,840 Speaker 3: sometimes if the system ain't working, sometimes the clay is off, 986 00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:55,880 Speaker 3: Draymond ain't shooting, I'm gonna get it done. And I 987 00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:57,560 Speaker 3: hadn't really seen that him that let in the last 988 00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:00,719 Speaker 3: couple of years where he himself, not the system not 989 00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:03,120 Speaker 3: you know, the way it was working or there I'm 990 00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:05,560 Speaker 3: talking about you, and he has been doing that. He's 991 00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:07,640 Speaker 3: been doing that right now and has been remarkable to see. 992 00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:10,120 Speaker 3: So big time credit to Steph. He's played his butt 993 00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:11,920 Speaker 3: off this series and especially this game. 994 00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:17,560 Speaker 4: I think those questions came when Kevin Durant came. And 995 00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:22,960 Speaker 4: I think that whether whatever fan base you're from, however 996 00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:25,600 Speaker 4: you were used to it. You know, Kelvin, we grew 997 00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:28,600 Speaker 4: up defense win championships. You know, hey, can you out 998 00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:32,080 Speaker 4: rebound us? You know, live by the three, die by three? Right, 999 00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:34,560 Speaker 4: you remember that That's what we grew up with. So 1000 00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:38,080 Speaker 4: Steph Curry did have to prove a lot to our generation. 1001 00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:42,479 Speaker 4: But I think he's so dynamic offensively that you give 1002 00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:45,000 Speaker 4: him a pass when it comes to the defense. 1003 00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:45,799 Speaker 2: Right now. 1004 00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:50,399 Speaker 4: Also in terms of Steph, I mentioned Kevin Durant, and 1005 00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:54,120 Speaker 4: because Kevin Durant was so dynamic, so good, I think 1006 00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:57,120 Speaker 4: there were some people wondering what is stuff really doing? 1007 00:43:57,160 --> 00:43:59,480 Speaker 4: And I think when you look back and from the 1008 00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:01,719 Speaker 4: guys that I I've played with, that played with him, 1009 00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:06,319 Speaker 4: that know him, they've always said that, hey, Steph is selfless. 1010 00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:10,359 Speaker 4: So him being selfless, that's where the legacy is. And 1011 00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:14,160 Speaker 4: I think that he was and is able to prove that. 1012 00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:15,560 Speaker 1: But you had a. 1013 00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:17,919 Speaker 4: Lot of Curry haters out there that said he wasn't clutch. 1014 00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:19,960 Speaker 4: I mean, this is a clutch as we're watching this. 1015 00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:22,839 Speaker 4: It wasn't just the championship. We've been clutched before that. 1016 00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:25,600 Speaker 4: But I think this is Duke Kelvin. Forgive me if 1017 00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:27,680 Speaker 4: I'm wrong. This feels like the NBA Finals. You are 1018 00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:33,120 Speaker 4: playing against Sacramento and on their home turf, and you're right, 1019 00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:36,720 Speaker 4: every everybody wasn't rolling. Everybody wasn't kind of like getting 1020 00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:40,000 Speaker 4: it done, and he stepped up and he was the guy. 1021 00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:43,040 Speaker 4: You know, Hey, Draymond didn't have that twenty points that 1022 00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:47,280 Speaker 4: he had the other night. Clay kind of wasn't wasn't rolling, 1023 00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:49,880 Speaker 4: and if it was left to them, you know, they 1024 00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:53,080 Speaker 4: would have lost this ballgame. So Steph Curry another notch 1025 00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:55,560 Speaker 4: in the legacy. But I think it's ridiculous that some 1026 00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:58,600 Speaker 4: people think he's not that dude. I think he's just 1027 00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:01,360 Speaker 4: been so selfless that he is willing to take a 1028 00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:03,759 Speaker 4: back seat in some of those situations. 1029 00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:05,080 Speaker 3: I'll say this and that want to get to the 1030 00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:07,440 Speaker 3: Ghana's For me, it wasn't that he's not that dude. 1031 00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:09,560 Speaker 3: It's just as much as once this happens with anybody, 1032 00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:12,279 Speaker 3: right Lebron, once he became after you know, year five 1033 00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:15,439 Speaker 3: six is we start to have these all time legacy conversations. 1034 00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:17,560 Speaker 3: And the challenge for me was that where we were 1035 00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:20,720 Speaker 3: putting Steph above so many people. I was like, well, 1036 00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:24,480 Speaker 3: my big thing was, yeah, those people I knew in 1037 00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:26,919 Speaker 3: a game five, six seven crucial, I knew they could 1038 00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:30,040 Speaker 3: do it singularly, need be Steph. I hadn't. I didn't 1039 00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:31,680 Speaker 3: see that. Again, this is a couple of season ago, 1040 00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:32,560 Speaker 3: so I'm not talking. 1041 00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:34,840 Speaker 1: From the point this position. You just talking about every 1042 00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:35,560 Speaker 1: all time. 1043 00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:37,480 Speaker 3: Great, all time grade, not this point guard which all 1044 00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:38,759 Speaker 3: time great. And they were putting him ahead of a 1045 00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:40,320 Speaker 3: lot of people, like for here, give you an example. 1046 00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:42,640 Speaker 3: People were putting him ahead of Bird, And I'm like, well, 1047 00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:45,000 Speaker 3: I knew for a fact Bird would go in and say, 1048 00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:46,640 Speaker 3: nah I got us tonight. 1049 00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:48,520 Speaker 2: Well what if Kevin m nah I. 1050 00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:51,200 Speaker 3: Got well if Robert pared, nah I got us tonight. 1051 00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:53,320 Speaker 3: And I felt like up until you know, again, in 1052 00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:55,080 Speaker 3: the last couple of season, I hadn't seen that from 1053 00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:56,319 Speaker 3: Steph singularly. 1054 00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:57,719 Speaker 2: And now it's to the point where now he's just 1055 00:45:57,719 --> 00:45:58,200 Speaker 2: playing with you. 1056 00:45:58,239 --> 00:46:00,160 Speaker 3: If he hits this lay up right here, Okay, that's 1057 00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:01,879 Speaker 3: going to be the number one player on Sports Center. 1058 00:46:02,040 --> 00:46:02,239 Speaker 1: Dude. 1059 00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:03,839 Speaker 3: Just what he just did right there was out of line. 1060 00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:06,560 Speaker 3: He's gotten carried away. So it's looking like congrats to 1061 00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:08,640 Speaker 3: the Warriors. We'll get to that once it officially happens. 1062 00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:11,080 Speaker 3: I want to switch gears here. One of the things 1063 00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:14,880 Speaker 3: we knew. It's such a finite thing or not finite. 1064 00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:16,880 Speaker 2: It's such a black. 1065 00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:19,080 Speaker 3: Or white in sports, right you won or you lost 1066 00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:22,399 Speaker 3: playing and simple we kind of have that. It's over, 1067 00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:25,200 Speaker 3: you know, That's what all that comes down to, win 1068 00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:27,680 Speaker 3: or lose the Bucks the number one seed, number one 1069 00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:30,759 Speaker 3: overall seed, arguably the best player in the league. And 1070 00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:34,040 Speaker 3: he would say in Giannis going up against a team 1071 00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:36,160 Speaker 3: that barely made it wasn't supposed to be there in 1072 00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:39,279 Speaker 3: the playing game, and that is the heat, and all 1073 00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:41,080 Speaker 3: of a sudden they lose to the heat, and then 1074 00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:44,760 Speaker 3: we have is Sam over there? Sam, can you play 1075 00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:47,720 Speaker 3: the Yannis for me second? Just for folks, And obviously 1076 00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:49,320 Speaker 3: everybody's heard of it, but I want to refresh what 1077 00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:51,400 Speaker 3: he said, because I think it's an interesting conversation that 1078 00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:55,080 Speaker 3: now is being had all over social media, because it 1079 00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:58,880 Speaker 3: becomes if I ask you, as a reporter, do you 1080 00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:01,879 Speaker 3: consider this season of failure? Well, some folks you're saying, 1081 00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:05,000 Speaker 3: are you asking my season? Are you saying this particular moment? 1082 00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:08,080 Speaker 3: Are you saying the whole season? And it becomes how 1083 00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:12,839 Speaker 3: we dissect how one interprets the question, right, Because if 1084 00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:16,319 Speaker 3: you're Yiannis or somebody, I played my balled out. I 1085 00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:20,000 Speaker 3: had an MVP type season, So no, it's not a failure. 1086 00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:23,320 Speaker 3: But others saying, hey, you're the number one seed and 1087 00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:25,640 Speaker 3: and and all of a sudden, you guys lose to 1088 00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:26,160 Speaker 3: an eight seed. 1089 00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:28,040 Speaker 2: So here's what Yiannis had to say. Well, we'll respond 1090 00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:28,720 Speaker 2: on the other side. 1091 00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:33,520 Speaker 1: I just asked the exact same question, But I'm curious 1092 00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:35,360 Speaker 1: for you. Do you view this season as a failure? 1093 00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:37,680 Speaker 2: You asked me the same question last year. 1094 00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:40,760 Speaker 10: Eric, Okay, do you get do you get the promotion 1095 00:47:40,840 --> 00:47:43,399 Speaker 10: every year on your job? Not? Right, So every year 1096 00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:46,800 Speaker 10: you work, it's a failure, yes or no. No, Every 1097 00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:50,279 Speaker 10: year you work, you work towards something towars a goal, right, 1098 00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:52,799 Speaker 10: which is to get a promotion, to be able, to 1099 00:47:53,239 --> 00:47:55,640 Speaker 10: take care of your family, to be able I don't know, 1100 00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:58,800 Speaker 10: provide the house for them, or take care of your parents. 1101 00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:01,200 Speaker 10: You work towards a goal. He's not the failure. It 1102 00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:03,080 Speaker 10: steps to success. 1103 00:48:02,920 --> 00:48:03,239 Speaker 1: You know. 1104 00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:06,319 Speaker 10: And if you've never I don't know, I don't I 1105 00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:09,640 Speaker 10: don't mean the person. So there's always steps. 1106 00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:10,279 Speaker 1: To it, you know. 1107 00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:14,040 Speaker 10: Michael Jordan played fifteen years, won six championship. 1108 00:48:14,239 --> 00:48:15,640 Speaker 2: The other nine years was a failure. 1109 00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:18,239 Speaker 10: That's what you're telling me. No, Max to your question, 1110 00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:21,640 Speaker 10: yes or no? Okay, exactly, So why are you ask 1111 00:48:21,719 --> 00:48:22,160 Speaker 10: me that question? 1112 00:48:22,160 --> 00:48:24,200 Speaker 3: All right, I'm gonna jump in there. So that's where 1113 00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:27,480 Speaker 3: it gets interesting because Michael Jordan was at home with 1114 00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:29,520 Speaker 3: a cup of Kooniak and a cigar in his mouth, 1115 00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:31,960 Speaker 3: and Michael Jordan was like, you dang right, it was 1116 00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:36,480 Speaker 3: a failure. Michael Jordan was at home like absolutely, it 1117 00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:37,200 Speaker 3: was a failure. 1118 00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:37,759 Speaker 2: I didn't win. 1119 00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:39,719 Speaker 3: They came back after, you know, and I lost to 1120 00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:41,640 Speaker 3: the Orlando Magic. I had to turn over. They want 1121 00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:44,399 Speaker 3: to get that was a failure. Washington went the fail 1122 00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:47,960 Speaker 3: That's how Mike is cut. Mike is cut like that. 1123 00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:51,799 Speaker 3: Kobe God bless his soul was mostly cut like that. 1124 00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:55,280 Speaker 3: And I think what you heard there was from somebody 1125 00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:58,120 Speaker 3: who is upbringing where he's from, the way that we 1126 00:48:58,160 --> 00:49:00,640 Speaker 3: know he's a family person, meeting his immediately as well 1127 00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:04,160 Speaker 3: as his extended as brothers and mom and dad. The 1128 00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:06,920 Speaker 3: man is fought poverty. Man was on the streets selling stuff. 1129 00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:10,319 Speaker 3: Listen for him. He's like, Man, I'm working towards something. 1130 00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:12,839 Speaker 3: Do you know, I came into this league with zero expectations. 1131 00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:14,480 Speaker 3: I was like a fall. I was like a little 1132 00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:16,960 Speaker 3: a fawn. I was a little Bambi, right. 1133 00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:17,360 Speaker 2: I didn't know. 1134 00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:19,839 Speaker 3: I didn't know how to utilize my body. I had 1135 00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:23,320 Speaker 3: no skill set. I've gotten better. I'm a two time MVP, 1136 00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:26,000 Speaker 3: I'm a finals MVP, I've won a championship. I've got 1137 00:49:26,160 --> 00:49:28,919 Speaker 3: For him, he's looking at the totality of this whole thing. 1138 00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:31,120 Speaker 3: It's like, if you look at a person's life, it's 1139 00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:33,319 Speaker 3: the reason why we love amazing stories, whether it be 1140 00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:36,360 Speaker 3: business people, whether it be movies, where you have this 1141 00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:40,759 Speaker 3: complex character who started off this way, right, maybe they 1142 00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:42,799 Speaker 3: were in gangs, or they were broke, or they were poor, 1143 00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:43,480 Speaker 3: or they were whatever. 1144 00:49:43,600 --> 00:49:44,880 Speaker 2: They were not educated. 1145 00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:48,239 Speaker 3: Then they go on educate themselves and then they had 1146 00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:49,840 Speaker 3: this or the good thing bad, and then they had 1147 00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:50,160 Speaker 3: the bad. 1148 00:49:50,200 --> 00:49:51,520 Speaker 2: They lost the business. 1149 00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:56,200 Speaker 3: Like he's looking at the totality of his seasons and 1150 00:49:56,400 --> 00:49:58,799 Speaker 3: most likely his career, so it's hard for him to 1151 00:49:58,840 --> 00:49:59,800 Speaker 3: hear the word failure. 1152 00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:02,360 Speaker 2: He's like, dude, I made it, and I didn't just 1153 00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:04,040 Speaker 2: make it. I'm the best. 1154 00:50:04,480 --> 00:50:06,399 Speaker 3: So if I look at probably a fifteen to twenty 1155 00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:09,560 Speaker 3: year career, heck, no, is not a failure, whereas I 1156 00:50:09,600 --> 00:50:11,759 Speaker 3: think other people like him Michael Jordan, look at the 1157 00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:16,080 Speaker 3: single season. This moment, my expectation is championship or bus 1158 00:50:16,160 --> 00:50:18,319 Speaker 3: so it's a failure. So that's why I think this 1159 00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:20,799 Speaker 3: is gonna become a little difficult to have these conversations 1160 00:50:20,960 --> 00:50:25,399 Speaker 3: because each person deems that question then and what they 1161 00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:28,160 Speaker 3: want to rate a success. Meaning for Giannis, it's gonna 1162 00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:30,960 Speaker 3: be his whole life, you get what I mean, it's 1163 00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:33,919 Speaker 3: his whole career. So the idea of hearing the word 1164 00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:35,759 Speaker 3: failure is gonna be hard for him to hear. That's 1165 00:50:35,800 --> 00:50:37,319 Speaker 3: like a it's a triggering word. 1166 00:50:37,360 --> 00:50:40,440 Speaker 4: I would imagine, I'm gonna give you a very unique 1167 00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:45,920 Speaker 4: perspective because I have a very unique relationship with Giannis. 1168 00:50:46,520 --> 00:50:48,880 Speaker 4: I'm gonna be frank with you and Wenna, We're gonna 1169 00:50:48,920 --> 00:50:54,160 Speaker 4: go there. I seemingly to the pupplic lie it have 1170 00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:57,399 Speaker 4: been and you've seen this, Calvin the number one Giannis hater, 1171 00:50:57,600 --> 00:51:01,160 Speaker 4: whatever they may be. Okay, I love what that kid 1172 00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:04,400 Speaker 4: brings to the table. But at that time I was 1173 00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:09,640 Speaker 4: employed to answer and Kelvin you know this also to 1174 00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:13,839 Speaker 4: answer direct questions and the biggest debate in sports at 1175 00:51:13,840 --> 00:51:18,440 Speaker 4: that time, because Giannis was the biggest rising, emerging young talent, 1176 00:51:18,719 --> 00:51:22,800 Speaker 4: was hey, is it and here's the here's the gift 1177 00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:25,400 Speaker 4: in the curse? When you are that good, the questions 1178 00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:28,279 Speaker 4: are always are you the next Michael Jordan? Are you 1179 00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:31,040 Speaker 4: the next Lebron James? Are you the next Kobe Bryant? 1180 00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:34,600 Speaker 4: That's how good that Giannis was in the season that 1181 00:51:34,680 --> 00:51:36,960 Speaker 4: he was having and what he was having in question. 1182 00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:40,799 Speaker 4: For me at that moment, he was not that. And 1183 00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:45,520 Speaker 4: when you are working upon those shows, the it's it's 1184 00:51:45,560 --> 00:51:47,360 Speaker 4: black and white, it's not in between. 1185 00:51:47,480 --> 00:51:50,000 Speaker 1: It's not well, he's this, He's okay, he's a Are 1186 00:51:50,080 --> 00:51:54,360 Speaker 1: you this dude or not? Is he the MVP or not? 1187 00:51:54,840 --> 00:51:56,600 Speaker 1: Is he Michael Jordan or not? 1188 00:51:57,400 --> 00:51:59,640 Speaker 4: I was on the at that time, with all due 1189 00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:03,520 Speaker 4: respect or not, part of the conversation. So I think 1190 00:52:03,600 --> 00:52:06,400 Speaker 4: Giannis like any other player, and we lie when we 1191 00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:08,719 Speaker 4: say we don't watch the newspaper, we don't look we 1192 00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:12,120 Speaker 4: look at it. Okay, who's seen those debates about him 1193 00:52:12,200 --> 00:52:15,359 Speaker 4: and heard those things and saying, I know y'all gonna 1194 00:52:15,400 --> 00:52:18,400 Speaker 4: run with this one. I know I just lost to 1195 00:52:18,440 --> 00:52:21,560 Speaker 4: the eight seed and y'all can't wait to tear me down. 1196 00:52:21,719 --> 00:52:24,200 Speaker 4: Y'all can't wait to have the Yannis party and the 1197 00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:27,880 Speaker 4: Yannas show again. And I think that this is a 1198 00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:32,399 Speaker 4: different scenario. I think when you look at Yannis, he's 1199 00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:36,319 Speaker 4: gone forward and he certified himself in bringing a championship 1200 00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:42,640 Speaker 4: to Milwaukee that outreaches and outweighs the two time MVP 1201 00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:46,319 Speaker 4: the regular season accolades. Okay, so had he failed in 1202 00:52:46,360 --> 00:52:50,320 Speaker 4: the playoffs before, I agree, But after you certify yourself 1203 00:52:50,360 --> 00:52:53,719 Speaker 4: to that next level, the only thing next for him 1204 00:52:53,719 --> 00:52:56,319 Speaker 4: to do is to be in that Hakeem Elijah and 1205 00:52:56,440 --> 00:53:01,000 Speaker 4: Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, a Shaquille O'Neill type of talk. 1206 00:53:01,120 --> 00:53:05,239 Speaker 4: So from Yannis's standpoint, it's not a failure from who 1207 00:53:05,320 --> 00:53:07,799 Speaker 4: he is. But I can tell and it's any player 1208 00:53:07,760 --> 00:53:10,280 Speaker 4: I'm gonna speak to what it never having a conversation 1209 00:53:10,360 --> 00:53:14,359 Speaker 4: with him or not and that those words hurt, they 1210 00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:17,440 Speaker 4: spur you on and you think about it, and and 1211 00:53:17,520 --> 00:53:20,040 Speaker 4: I think that I think people take it out of context, 1212 00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:22,359 Speaker 4: but it is. It's part of the job when I'm 1213 00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:24,320 Speaker 4: asking you, hey, man, are you on the left side 1214 00:53:24,680 --> 00:53:27,040 Speaker 4: or the right side. And I think that he's become 1215 00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:31,280 Speaker 4: that dude. You have to be proud of his accomplishments, 1216 00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:35,200 Speaker 4: of who he is and and happy and grateful. But Kelvin, 1217 00:53:35,520 --> 00:53:38,920 Speaker 4: I think that's why he went so hard on the answer. 1218 00:53:38,960 --> 00:53:41,240 Speaker 4: But we all know, Yeah, they underachieved, y'all. Wann't supposed 1219 00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:43,839 Speaker 4: to lose to the team who lost in the plan 1220 00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:46,279 Speaker 4: and then won the second bout in the plan. They 1221 00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:48,360 Speaker 4: weren't supposed to lose that game, Dog, And no, it 1222 00:53:48,400 --> 00:53:50,239 Speaker 4: ain't Nobody should back up off that. 1223 00:53:50,320 --> 00:53:52,600 Speaker 1: But Jannis knows, like Dog, I'm gonna be back. 1224 00:53:52,680 --> 00:53:54,279 Speaker 4: This ain't a failure for me because you're gonna have 1225 00:53:54,360 --> 00:53:56,600 Speaker 4: to see me again again and again. 1226 00:53:56,680 --> 00:53:58,960 Speaker 2: Am I wrong, Kelvin, No, You're not wrong. 1227 00:53:59,040 --> 00:54:01,520 Speaker 3: And I think but I do think it's fair and 1228 00:54:01,560 --> 00:54:03,759 Speaker 3: it's not a shot at him personally to say that 1229 00:54:03,800 --> 00:54:05,719 Speaker 3: season was a failure. You're the number one seed, you're 1230 00:54:05,719 --> 00:54:07,680 Speaker 3: the best player, Your defense is good, you got games 1231 00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:10,200 Speaker 3: where you got Brook Lopez going for thirty plus points. 1232 00:54:10,280 --> 00:54:12,239 Speaker 3: You can't lose this series to a team that wasn't 1233 00:54:12,239 --> 00:54:13,600 Speaker 3: even supposed to be in the postseason. 1234 00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:15,080 Speaker 2: So I think you can. Absolutely. 1235 00:54:15,120 --> 00:54:17,200 Speaker 3: I think he can view it that way, And it 1236 00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:19,640 Speaker 3: is perfectly fine and fair for someone else to say 1237 00:54:19,640 --> 00:54:21,520 Speaker 3: to the GI honest, love you the person, love your story. 1238 00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:23,680 Speaker 3: It is a beautiful thing, Brud. That was a failure. 1239 00:54:23,880 --> 00:54:26,480 Speaker 3: I think two things can be true at once, and 1240 00:54:26,520 --> 00:54:29,600 Speaker 3: I think that it is again okay for someone to 1241 00:54:29,600 --> 00:54:32,719 Speaker 3: say that was actually a failure that they did not 1242 00:54:32,920 --> 00:54:35,239 Speaker 3: get to where they were supposed to get to. All Right, 1243 00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:39,040 Speaker 3: we're gonna talk some NFL draft talk, some big moves 1244 00:54:39,040 --> 00:54:41,960 Speaker 3: that have happened when you're talking about trades and Aaron Rodgers, 1245 00:54:42,239 --> 00:54:44,960 Speaker 3: the King of New York. We're gonna have Adam Kaplan 1246 00:54:45,080 --> 00:54:47,319 Speaker 3: join us here and just a little bit to break 1247 00:54:47,360 --> 00:54:49,239 Speaker 3: down some of the things that we've seen happen over 1248 00:54:49,239 --> 00:54:51,959 Speaker 3: the last four or five days, including, as you mentioned earlier, 1249 00:54:52,040 --> 00:54:54,759 Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson getting signed as well getting that deal. We'll 1250 00:54:54,760 --> 00:54:57,360 Speaker 3: do that next. It is Fox Sports Sunday, Kelvin Washington, 1251 00:54:57,400 --> 00:54:59,960 Speaker 3: Ryan Hollins with you.

I know Larry Bird is alive, but that 1260 00:55:23,280 --> 00:55:27,319 Speaker 3: is not the point. Reggae Archie Miller rolling around his grave, 1261 00:55:27,360 --> 00:55:32,040 Speaker 3: I know is alive around his greave.

He had to go 1274 00:55:59,600 --> 00:56:01,080 Speaker 2: to the running was hurt and he had to do it. 1275 00:56:01,160 --> 00:56:02,279 Speaker 2: I'm talking every week. 1276 00:56:02,360 --> 00:56:04,640 Speaker 3: If Pat Mahomes or now Aaron Rodgers with the Jets, 1277 00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:07,520 Speaker 3: we're just throwing seventy five times and that would be normal. 1278 00:56:07,680 --> 00:56:09,560 Speaker 3: Dan Marino will be sitting there like, man, if y'all 1279 00:56:09,680 --> 00:56:12,319 Speaker 3: let me, well daan Marine almost did sometimes, but you know. 1280 00:56:12,320 --> 00:56:12,640 Speaker 1: What I mean. 1281 00:56:12,719 --> 00:56:14,320 Speaker 3: John l would be like, man, if you let me 1282 00:56:14,480 --> 00:56:16,440 Speaker 3: throw the ball that many times.

Adam, thank you for 1286 00:56:25,600 --> 00:56:29,320 Speaker 3: being here with us. Want to get to of course, 1287 00:56:29,400 --> 00:56:33,360 Speaker 3: the draft just sums up, just ends for me. I 1288 00:56:33,480 --> 00:56:35,920 Speaker 3: think for many folks, the quarterbacks are most of the 1289 00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:39,200 Speaker 3: time the biggest stories. You go from a season ago 1290 00:56:39,400 --> 00:56:41,160 Speaker 3: where a draft to go where there's one in the 1291 00:56:41,239 --> 00:56:44,120 Speaker 3: first round I think seven total, and then all of 1292 00:56:44,160 --> 00:56:46,120 Speaker 3: a sudden you get big numbers this year. I think 1293 00:56:46,160 --> 00:56:49,920 Speaker 3: it's what thirteen quarterbacks take in. Folks are saying next 1294 00:56:49,960 --> 00:56:52,239 Speaker 3: year should be even possibly even more as there's some 1295 00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:55,040 Speaker 3: more quarterbacks. They are saying that should be spectacular. And 1296 00:56:55,160 --> 00:56:58,319 Speaker 3: here we are where the first three of the four 1297 00:56:58,400 --> 00:57:01,960 Speaker 3: picks ar quarterbacks. And I'm gonna go there and say, 1298 00:57:02,560 --> 00:57:05,319 Speaker 3: first time we've seen it, you had black quarterbacks three 1299 00:57:05,440 --> 00:57:08,160 Speaker 3: taking the top four. But it's not just black in 1300 00:57:08,239 --> 00:57:11,600 Speaker 3: the sense of their skin tone, right, or ethnicity or anything. 1301 00:57:12,440 --> 00:57:14,920 Speaker 3: It is that the style of play. It seems like 1302 00:57:15,080 --> 00:57:18,080 Speaker 3: Adam the NFL has thrown in the towel with the 1303 00:57:18,160 --> 00:57:20,040 Speaker 3: old I need him to be six foot five and 1304 00:57:20,120 --> 00:57:21,800 Speaker 3: he needs to be understand in the pocket and throw 1305 00:57:21,840 --> 00:57:23,640 Speaker 3: the ball, and he needs to look like Andrew Luck 1306 00:57:23,680 --> 00:57:26,600 Speaker 3: and whatever the case. Now it's not even just simply black. 1307 00:57:26,680 --> 00:57:28,800 Speaker 3: By the way, let me give credit to that as 1308 00:57:28,840 --> 00:57:31,560 Speaker 3: a black man growing up and I'm forty something years 1309 00:57:31,560 --> 00:57:33,640 Speaker 3: old and I remember where it's like, yo, you know, 1310 00:57:33,920 --> 00:57:36,640 Speaker 3: I remember seeing the guys play that I watched in 1311 00:57:36,720 --> 00:57:38,120 Speaker 3: college and mean like, well, I guess I'll go be 1312 00:57:38,200 --> 00:57:40,280 Speaker 3: a dB or wide receiver quarter a store. You have 1313 00:57:40,400 --> 00:57:42,800 Speaker 3: to be a slash And so it is an amazing thing. 1314 00:57:42,920 --> 00:57:44,840 Speaker 3: Let me be real when I say that, to see 1315 00:57:44,920 --> 00:57:47,280 Speaker 3: this that I can tell my nephews and others, Oh, 1316 00:57:47,360 --> 00:57:48,720 Speaker 3: you can go in there and pleae quarterback and not 1317 00:57:48,800 --> 00:57:51,640 Speaker 3: only be one, but dominate and get paid. We'll get 1318 00:57:51,640 --> 00:57:54,439 Speaker 3: to that in the moment. But the style in which 1319 00:57:54,520 --> 00:57:57,400 Speaker 3: they're playing. Talk about that where it's not just simply hey, 1320 00:57:57,400 --> 00:57:59,520 Speaker 3: we're gonna drop this black quarterback. It's hey, we're gonna 1321 00:57:59,560 --> 00:58:02,240 Speaker 3: drave this quarterback who is an athlete, and we're comfortable 1322 00:58:02,240 --> 00:58:03,600 Speaker 3: with that and we don't have to try to sell 1323 00:58:03,640 --> 00:58:05,400 Speaker 3: it at well, he's a running and he's an athlete, 1324 00:58:05,440 --> 00:58:07,800 Speaker 3: but he can know he's a quarterback who's dynamic both 1325 00:58:07,840 --> 00:58:08,680 Speaker 3: throwing and passing. 1326 00:58:09,080 --> 00:58:11,400 Speaker 9: He actually, both Stroud and Young are not known for 1327 00:58:11,440 --> 00:58:13,360 Speaker 9: the run at all, to be honest with it, particularly Stroud. 1328 00:58:13,360 --> 00:58:15,600 Speaker 9: In fact, the one criticism that NFL people would give 1329 00:58:15,720 --> 00:58:18,200 Speaker 9: is like he just doesn't run. But that's fine because 1330 00:58:18,200 --> 00:58:20,200 Speaker 9: he throws the ball really well. Right, you know, all 1331 00:58:20,240 --> 00:58:22,160 Speaker 9: the criticism that he got for the draft, I just 1332 00:58:22,200 --> 00:58:24,040 Speaker 9: thought it was ridiculous. I think people are just looking 1333 00:58:24,120 --> 00:58:29,640 Speaker 9: for something. There's that cognitive test where the it's a 1334 00:58:29,680 --> 00:58:31,479 Speaker 9: new test. It's only been around three or four years 1335 00:58:31,680 --> 00:58:36,400 Speaker 9: where teams use it. It's just it's one of the 1336 00:58:36,480 --> 00:58:40,080 Speaker 9: ten things that they look at. But and kudos to Nicosia, 1337 00:58:40,160 --> 00:58:41,840 Speaker 9: the general manager of the text, it's not to worry 1338 00:58:41,880 --> 00:58:44,000 Speaker 9: about that. And what I love what he did was 1339 00:58:44,120 --> 00:58:46,240 Speaker 9: the guy they were going to take there had Stroud 1340 00:58:46,320 --> 00:58:49,040 Speaker 9: been gone or something happened, is they were going to 1341 00:58:49,040 --> 00:58:50,640 Speaker 9: go with will Anderson. So then what they did was 1342 00:58:50,720 --> 00:58:53,280 Speaker 9: they made a trade. They were able to get the 1343 00:58:53,760 --> 00:58:56,400 Speaker 9: third pick. Overall, they're able to get Will Anderson there, 1344 00:58:56,440 --> 00:58:58,720 Speaker 9: so that you know, this is a total rebuild. There's 1345 00:58:58,720 --> 00:59:00,080 Speaker 9: not a lot of teams in are total rebuild what 1346 00:59:00,200 --> 00:59:02,880 Speaker 9: the Texans are. So they got their quarterback, and they 1347 00:59:02,920 --> 00:59:04,960 Speaker 9: needed bad they needed past Rusher Badley and they got 1348 00:59:05,000 --> 00:59:05,400 Speaker 9: that as well. 1349 00:59:06,200 --> 00:59:08,520 Speaker 4: Kay, we talked about it earlier. Aaron Rodgers is everywhere 1350 00:59:08,520 --> 00:59:10,920 Speaker 4: and the man is in the garden. Kelvin said, he's 1351 00:59:10,920 --> 00:59:14,240 Speaker 4: hooping at rutger Man. He's having all these signings. Did 1352 00:59:14,320 --> 00:59:16,320 Speaker 4: he just make the Jets by far the best team 1353 00:59:16,360 --> 00:59:19,240 Speaker 4: in the division? A Jay, are they back? 1354 00:59:19,320 --> 00:59:22,120 Speaker 1: What type of weapons does Aaron hat over there? Is 1355 00:59:22,200 --> 00:59:25,120 Speaker 1: he gonna have control? Is he? I always say that 1356 00:59:25,640 --> 00:59:26,760 Speaker 1: in the basketball terms. 1357 00:59:26,840 --> 00:59:30,000 Speaker 4: Kevin Durant kind of followed Lebron James' career and said, Okay, 1358 00:59:30,120 --> 00:59:32,080 Speaker 4: Lebron asked for this, I'm gonna ask for a level 1359 00:59:32,080 --> 00:59:34,120 Speaker 4: of this shout out to Katie forgetting that lifetime deal 1360 00:59:34,160 --> 00:59:34,600 Speaker 4: from Nike. 1361 00:59:35,240 --> 00:59:37,960 Speaker 1: Is he getting his Tom Brady on now? 1362 00:59:39,280 --> 00:59:42,720 Speaker 9: Oh yeah, Look, he he made the decision that this 1363 00:59:42,880 --> 00:59:44,000 Speaker 9: was with the team that he wanted to play with. 1364 00:59:44,080 --> 00:59:46,840 Speaker 9: He's back with Nathaniel Hacket, the offensive coordinator for the Jets, 1365 00:59:46,880 --> 00:59:49,919 Speaker 9: who he was with in Green Bay for some years, 1366 00:59:49,920 --> 00:59:51,680 Speaker 9: and they're very close and they're gonna run the exact 1367 00:59:51,720 --> 00:59:53,600 Speaker 9: same offense they ran in Green Bay, so that that's 1368 00:59:53,640 --> 00:59:57,160 Speaker 9: a big thing for him. And look, they're in good 1369 00:59:57,160 --> 00:59:59,520 Speaker 9: shape here. They'll definitely challenge. Look, they'll be the number 1370 00:59:59,520 --> 01:00:01,440 Speaker 9: two team because they didn't have a quarterback last year. 1371 01:00:01,440 --> 01:00:03,880 Speaker 9: That's why other season went up in flames after a 1372 01:00:03,920 --> 01:00:06,480 Speaker 9: great start. So yeah, look they're in good shape. They 1373 01:00:06,520 --> 01:00:08,520 Speaker 9: resigned their center, Connor McGovern, which is a big thing. 1374 01:00:08,520 --> 01:00:10,840 Speaker 9: They just got him back last week. They've got some 1375 01:00:10,920 --> 01:00:13,560 Speaker 9: issues on their offensive line, but overall, now they have 1376 01:00:13,640 --> 01:00:17,160 Speaker 9: the quarterback and they've got this great defense. They had 1377 01:00:17,160 --> 01:00:19,560 Speaker 9: a terrific draft last year. That's the other part about 1378 01:00:19,600 --> 01:00:21,840 Speaker 9: this this thing is why this thing could go forward. 1379 01:00:22,200 --> 01:00:24,840 Speaker 9: They got the quarterback and they're ready to roll here. Yeah, 1380 01:00:24,880 --> 01:00:27,600 Speaker 9: he's Look, they've done a good job supporting him, and 1381 01:00:28,360 --> 01:00:30,440 Speaker 9: they will definitely push the Bills, who had to drop 1382 01:00:30,520 --> 01:00:31,120 Speaker 9: off last season. 1383 01:00:31,120 --> 01:00:32,560 Speaker 2: The Bills are clearly not as good as a lot 1384 01:00:32,600 --> 01:00:36,280 Speaker 2: of us thought. Adam Kaplin with us, Ryan Hollins Coven 1385 01:00:36,400 --> 01:00:37,640 Speaker 2: Washington with you. Let me ask you this. 1386 01:00:37,680 --> 01:00:39,200 Speaker 3: So I'm gonna stay there with Aaron Rodgers for a 1387 01:00:39,240 --> 01:00:40,760 Speaker 3: minute again. Who was living it up? I swear I 1388 01:00:40,800 --> 01:00:42,320 Speaker 3: seen him with a New York slice of pizza the 1389 01:00:42,320 --> 01:00:43,600 Speaker 3: other day. I mean he is just getting his New 1390 01:00:43,680 --> 01:00:45,920 Speaker 3: York on. I mean no, I'm telling you, I like 1391 01:00:46,240 --> 01:00:48,000 Speaker 3: next thing. I know he's gonna spit some bars with 1392 01:00:48,120 --> 01:00:50,920 Speaker 3: Jay Z. Now let me ask you this though. I 1393 01:00:51,080 --> 01:00:52,960 Speaker 3: feel as if we're all, oh my gosh, you going 1394 01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:54,840 Speaker 3: the just have so much talent. All they needed was 1395 01:00:54,840 --> 01:00:57,120 Speaker 3: a leader and a quarterback. Yeah, well, here's my thing. 1396 01:00:57,320 --> 01:00:59,960 Speaker 3: He's been in Green Bay and a division that has 1397 01:01:00,080 --> 01:01:02,800 Speaker 3: been mad, and as a Lions fan for all these 1398 01:01:02,880 --> 01:01:05,520 Speaker 3: years of my life, trust me, I know he's had weapons. 1399 01:01:05,640 --> 01:01:09,200 Speaker 3: He has a medium weapons, he's had amazing defenses. He said, Yeah, 1400 01:01:09,320 --> 01:01:11,840 Speaker 3: he's had everything he's needed for about fifteen years. Now, 1401 01:01:12,440 --> 01:01:14,960 Speaker 3: to me, why is this any different? Why is it 1402 01:01:15,080 --> 01:01:17,600 Speaker 3: okay he's going to a different team. But the AFC 1403 01:01:17,840 --> 01:01:20,200 Speaker 3: is loaded. Right, We're just now seeing that you got 1404 01:01:20,520 --> 01:01:22,760 Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson gonna stay with the Ravens, who are gonna 1405 01:01:22,760 --> 01:01:23,919 Speaker 3: be a high quality team. 1406 01:01:24,280 --> 01:01:26,640 Speaker 2: You got with Buffalo and Josh Allen. 1407 01:01:26,680 --> 01:01:28,720 Speaker 3: We already know what Pat Mahomie gets down and does 1408 01:01:29,040 --> 01:01:30,880 Speaker 3: you know you got and then you got some the charges. 1409 01:01:30,920 --> 01:01:32,160 Speaker 2: What's that gonna be? The gigs? 1410 01:01:32,200 --> 01:01:34,040 Speaker 3: What's that gonna be so all of a sudden to me, 1411 01:01:34,120 --> 01:01:37,880 Speaker 3: it's like, okay, why is all of a Suddenerybody's like 1412 01:01:38,040 --> 01:01:38,600 Speaker 3: super Bowl? 1413 01:01:38,880 --> 01:01:41,160 Speaker 2: He's going to a conference. To me, that is the 1414 01:01:41,240 --> 01:01:42,120 Speaker 2: scarier conference. 1415 01:01:42,200 --> 01:01:44,720 Speaker 9: Now, yeah, I think the AFC is better. Look, he's 1416 01:01:45,640 --> 01:01:48,160 Speaker 9: what they've done is a cancity even up with the Bills. 1417 01:01:48,200 --> 01:01:50,360 Speaker 9: But the Jets are much better football team because they 1418 01:01:50,360 --> 01:01:54,000 Speaker 9: have an lead quarterback. Though at thirty nine, if we 1419 01:01:54,080 --> 01:01:55,840 Speaker 9: see the best of him, that remains to be seen. 1420 01:01:56,160 --> 01:01:58,360 Speaker 9: Got to protect him. But yeah, I would agree with 1421 01:01:58,400 --> 01:02:00,880 Speaker 9: your assessment. The AFC on paper better. And Lamar was 1422 01:02:00,960 --> 01:02:03,439 Speaker 9: never going anywhere because he had no leverage. He doesn't 1423 01:02:03,440 --> 01:02:05,560 Speaker 9: get anywhere close to the contract that he wanted. Once 1424 01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:09,040 Speaker 9: Jalen Hurts did his deal last week, he could see 1425 01:02:09,080 --> 01:02:11,560 Speaker 9: I mean, look, he could have waited until the summer 1426 01:02:11,640 --> 01:02:14,160 Speaker 9: when when Joe Burrow and Justin Herbert get their deals. 1427 01:02:14,280 --> 01:02:15,960 Speaker 9: They most likely will get their deals. It's just a 1428 01:02:16,040 --> 01:02:20,400 Speaker 9: matter of ken those respective teams up the guaranteed money. 1429 01:02:20,440 --> 01:02:23,439 Speaker 9: It's signing like those guys are gonna want. But look 1430 01:02:23,520 --> 01:02:25,880 Speaker 9: that Lamar's back. They've got a brand new offense. I 1431 01:02:25,960 --> 01:02:27,880 Speaker 9: know that was very big for them to get Lamari 1432 01:02:27,920 --> 01:02:30,840 Speaker 9: in there. With Todd Monck and the new offensive coordinator 1433 01:02:30,840 --> 01:02:33,240 Speaker 9: in Baltimore, they're gonna have a new offense. And that's 1434 01:02:33,440 --> 01:02:36,240 Speaker 9: a that's a conference where you really look at it. Yeah, 1435 01:02:36,280 --> 01:02:38,280 Speaker 9: you mentioned the Chargers. They're a good football team. Their 1436 01:02:38,320 --> 01:02:40,919 Speaker 9: defense is the problem. They did make the playoffs last season, 1437 01:02:41,200 --> 01:02:44,040 Speaker 9: tough choke at Jacksonville, and Jacksonville is much improved as 1438 01:02:44,080 --> 01:02:44,320 Speaker 9: we know. 1439 01:02:45,120 --> 01:02:47,880 Speaker 2: So yeah, this is now the Jets. The Jets now. 1440 01:02:47,920 --> 01:02:50,480 Speaker 9: The expectations as we finished this part off, the expectations 1441 01:02:50,560 --> 01:02:53,240 Speaker 9: have to be the playoffs. Anything short is not going 1442 01:02:53,320 --> 01:02:54,960 Speaker 9: to be good for their coaching staff. Will there be 1443 01:02:55,000 --> 01:02:59,360 Speaker 9: a failure, like we said with Yahne's is it a failure, oh, 1444 01:02:59,480 --> 01:03:00,320 Speaker 9: not to make the payoffs? 1445 01:03:00,320 --> 01:03:01,280 Speaker 2: Woud certainly be if they don't. 1446 01:03:01,320 --> 01:03:03,320 Speaker 9: If the Jets don't make the playoffs, Look, remember, now 1447 01:03:03,360 --> 01:03:06,240 Speaker 9: we've get seven teams make the playoffs, but we don't 1448 01:03:06,240 --> 01:03:09,080 Speaker 9: have six anymore. You get seven teams in sure, absolutely 1449 01:03:09,120 --> 01:03:11,760 Speaker 9: if they can't make the playoffs, though they afc stronger, 1450 01:03:12,200 --> 01:03:13,000 Speaker 9: that would be a failure. 1451 01:03:13,000 --> 01:03:14,160 Speaker 2: If everybody's healthy. 1452 01:03:14,720 --> 01:03:18,000 Speaker 4: Who won they drave Houston or Philly or other. I'm 1453 01:03:18,120 --> 01:03:19,320 Speaker 4: leading towards Houston or Philly. 1454 01:03:19,360 --> 01:03:20,920 Speaker 1: Helped me out here Philly. 1455 01:03:22,160 --> 01:03:25,720 Speaker 9: It's could Janen Carter stay out of trouble? He's It's 1456 01:03:25,760 --> 01:03:28,560 Speaker 9: not just the off the field incident. He had some 1457 01:03:28,640 --> 01:03:30,959 Speaker 9: issues with the teammates and coaches over the years. There's 1458 01:03:31,040 --> 01:03:33,960 Speaker 9: just there's some stuff there with him that be Eagles 1459 01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:35,920 Speaker 9: know about it, every team knows about all. The baggage 1460 01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:39,280 Speaker 9: is just he just got to grow up. On paper, 1461 01:03:39,320 --> 01:03:41,680 Speaker 9: their draft looks really, really good. I love Seattle's draft. 1462 01:03:42,160 --> 01:03:44,760 Speaker 9: Devin Witherspoon were certainly was a surprise. They didn't want 1463 01:03:44,800 --> 01:03:47,920 Speaker 9: Jalen Carter though their biggest knee was defensive tackle, but 1464 01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:51,280 Speaker 9: they went with Devin Wetherspoon, Jackson Smith, and Jigba, who 1465 01:03:51,360 --> 01:03:53,800 Speaker 9: was wildly expected to be the first receiver off the board. 1466 01:03:53,920 --> 01:03:56,840 Speaker 1: He was so I really liked what they did there. 1467 01:03:58,200 --> 01:03:59,640 Speaker 1: And then when you go around it. 1468 01:03:59,680 --> 01:04:02,120 Speaker 9: I'll give you an underrated team here Pittsburgh talking to 1469 01:04:02,320 --> 01:04:05,080 Speaker 9: a Steelers shorts. Boy, they feel really good about Broderick 1470 01:04:05,160 --> 01:04:08,720 Speaker 9: Jones upgrading at left tackle, Joey Porter Junior, who surprisingly 1471 01:04:09,480 --> 01:04:11,280 Speaker 9: went the second round, first pick of the second round, 1472 01:04:11,520 --> 01:04:14,080 Speaker 9: count of Benton who will play right away defensive tackle, 1473 01:04:14,400 --> 01:04:17,640 Speaker 9: Darnell Washington the most intriguing tight end for this draft 1474 01:04:17,680 --> 01:04:20,000 Speaker 9: and a great tight end draft, by the way. And 1475 01:04:20,080 --> 01:04:23,200 Speaker 9: Nick Herbig who joins his brother Nate with the Steelers. 1476 01:04:23,480 --> 01:04:25,320 Speaker 9: Nick and very underrated pass rusher. So I thought the 1477 01:04:25,320 --> 01:04:26,560 Speaker 9: Steelers did very, very well. 1478 01:04:27,480 --> 01:04:29,760 Speaker 3: Adam Kaplan joining us right now live for the tire 1479 01:04:29,840 --> 01:04:33,440 Speaker 3: rack dot Com studios Kevin Washington and Ryan Hollins. Well, 1480 01:04:33,480 --> 01:04:35,320 Speaker 3: I want to stay, of course with the draft a 1481 01:04:35,320 --> 01:04:37,960 Speaker 3: little bit and go back some u is there are 1482 01:04:38,000 --> 01:04:43,280 Speaker 3: there moves obviously as a Lions sort of fan. Yeah, 1483 01:04:43,840 --> 01:04:45,280 Speaker 3: you know you got a good team, though they got 1484 01:04:45,320 --> 01:04:47,480 Speaker 3: a good team. So let me okay, I'm gonna throw 1485 01:04:47,480 --> 01:04:49,560 Speaker 3: this out everywhere I go the water cooler. You know, 1486 01:04:49,760 --> 01:04:52,720 Speaker 3: CBS like people are like, why'd you guys draft running back? 1487 01:04:53,400 --> 01:04:55,440 Speaker 2: Folks? Real folks, It was early, but let me ask 1488 01:04:55,480 --> 01:04:57,840 Speaker 2: you this. If we know it's an imperfect science. 1489 01:04:57,880 --> 01:05:00,439 Speaker 3: If we know that, don't draft that running back lines 1490 01:05:00,520 --> 01:05:02,480 Speaker 3: or someone say with some other team, but you go 1491 01:05:02,600 --> 01:05:06,360 Speaker 3: get some linebacker and he's, eh, not bad. But just 1492 01:05:07,200 --> 01:05:09,800 Speaker 3: it's like if I get a running back that we 1493 01:05:09,920 --> 01:05:12,120 Speaker 3: can use, and yes, running backs don't last long, Yes 1494 01:05:12,200 --> 01:05:14,120 Speaker 3: running backs you could get him later, Yes, they don't, 1495 01:05:14,280 --> 01:05:16,600 Speaker 3: you know, typically make it to some big payday outside 1496 01:05:16,640 --> 01:05:18,480 Speaker 3: of a handful here or there, Ezekiel Elliott. 1497 01:05:18,520 --> 01:05:20,000 Speaker 2: You got of course Saquan and so on. 1498 01:05:20,160 --> 01:05:23,680 Speaker 3: But if he is our guy, the guy and it 1499 01:05:23,800 --> 01:05:26,960 Speaker 3: helps us in the passing and running game for three years, 1500 01:05:27,520 --> 01:05:28,360 Speaker 3: is it not worth it? 1501 01:05:28,480 --> 01:05:29,080 Speaker 1: Or is it? Just? Like? 1502 01:05:29,160 --> 01:05:32,240 Speaker 3: Why is running back looked at so differently? Barry Sanders Again, 1503 01:05:32,280 --> 01:05:33,880 Speaker 3: like I said, run around his grave. I know he's 1504 01:05:33,880 --> 01:05:35,400 Speaker 3: alive and I just sa him last year the Super Bowl. 1505 01:05:35,440 --> 01:05:37,480 Speaker 3: That is not the point, Barry said, Good, like, what's 1506 01:05:37,480 --> 01:05:41,280 Speaker 3: wrong with what's wrong with graft in a running back? Well, 1507 01:05:41,440 --> 01:05:45,160 Speaker 3: here's the thing though, with Gibbs the running back from Alabama, 1508 01:05:45,240 --> 01:05:48,600 Speaker 3: he's a smaller running back. There are questions to how 1509 01:05:48,680 --> 01:05:51,160 Speaker 3: much volume in terms of carriage he can handle. And 1510 01:05:51,280 --> 01:05:53,160 Speaker 3: that's why the pick was criticized. And then they took 1511 01:05:53,600 --> 01:05:56,600 Speaker 3: an off the ball lockbacker, not a pass rusher. Jack 1512 01:05:56,680 --> 01:05:58,840 Speaker 3: Hamill's probably the best inside linebacker for this draft. 1513 01:05:58,960 --> 01:06:01,640 Speaker 9: Really good player. It's probably gonna go late first, early second. 1514 01:06:02,640 --> 01:06:05,280 Speaker 9: It's just when you're trying to build a championship team, 1515 01:06:05,440 --> 01:06:07,120 Speaker 9: you really want to go with value. The value was 1516 01:06:07,200 --> 01:06:10,200 Speaker 9: not there for running back and a linebacker. That what 1517 01:06:10,280 --> 01:06:13,200 Speaker 9: they need as a pass rusher instead of an inside linebacker. 1518 01:06:14,480 --> 01:06:17,880 Speaker 9: And they probably could have used more defensive health, maybe 1519 01:06:17,920 --> 01:06:21,840 Speaker 9: a safety, maybe a corner. It's just it's just but look, 1520 01:06:22,320 --> 01:06:25,840 Speaker 9: they didn't get Witherspoon. My senses, the trade came about 1521 01:06:25,880 --> 01:06:28,240 Speaker 9: because once once Witherspoon didn't go there at five, they 1522 01:06:28,280 --> 01:06:31,280 Speaker 9: were out. So yeah, they didn't get quite what they needed. 1523 01:06:31,320 --> 01:06:34,280 Speaker 9: But they have a very good roster. That's another team. 1524 01:06:34,400 --> 01:06:36,880 Speaker 9: If they don't make the playoffs, I would be disappointed. 1525 01:06:37,040 --> 01:06:38,520 Speaker 9: I don't even know why you said that. You've been 1526 01:06:38,520 --> 01:06:40,160 Speaker 9: see you've been watching the lines. 1527 01:06:41,200 --> 01:06:43,560 Speaker 3: You were watching your you mean watching your the lines 1528 01:06:43,600 --> 01:06:45,000 Speaker 3: your whole career, and you're going to sit the bar 1529 01:06:45,040 --> 01:06:47,040 Speaker 3: and tell you know, good and well, they're gonna have 1530 01:06:47,160 --> 01:06:49,360 Speaker 3: a go end up going like six and eleven. And 1531 01:06:49,880 --> 01:06:51,960 Speaker 3: where did that come from? Let me let me tell you. 1532 01:06:52,120 --> 01:06:54,040 Speaker 3: I've been I've been following them for so long. The 1533 01:06:54,120 --> 01:06:57,040 Speaker 3: Lions do Lions things. But hopefully you're right and and 1534 01:06:57,160 --> 01:07:00,160 Speaker 3: line fans will be excited if you are quickly, like 1535 01:07:00,240 --> 01:07:01,680 Speaker 3: real real quick, Sam, I know you're like, let me 1536 01:07:01,720 --> 01:07:04,200 Speaker 3: go real quick. Any other move in the draft that 1537 01:07:04,280 --> 01:07:05,640 Speaker 3: you saw, whether it was there was a whole that 1538 01:07:05,760 --> 01:07:08,000 Speaker 3: set a record with trades, any other move or a 1539 01:07:08,080 --> 01:07:10,920 Speaker 3: team that you say I secretly or on the low there, 1540 01:07:11,280 --> 01:07:12,200 Speaker 3: I like what they did. 1541 01:07:13,760 --> 01:07:17,120 Speaker 9: One other team, I would say probably the Giants getting 1542 01:07:17,120 --> 01:07:20,760 Speaker 9: Deontay Banks at twenty four. Boy, he excuse me, twenty five. Overall, 1543 01:07:20,760 --> 01:07:22,560 Speaker 9: I was surprised that he dropped as far as he did. 1544 01:07:23,440 --> 01:07:26,960 Speaker 9: He should start right away for Giants, who quite frankly 1545 01:07:27,520 --> 01:07:31,560 Speaker 9: had problems with injuries at corner. And then also when 1546 01:07:31,600 --> 01:07:34,600 Speaker 9: you look at it, they got John Michael Smith's from 1547 01:07:34,640 --> 01:07:37,480 Speaker 9: Minnesota will be their starting center, and Jalen Hyatt they 1548 01:07:37,480 --> 01:07:40,320 Speaker 9: gotten a third round he dropped around. He's probably the 1549 01:07:40,360 --> 01:07:42,800 Speaker 9: most explosive receiver for this draft off tape. 1550 01:07:42,960 --> 01:07:43,760 Speaker 1: So I like what they did. 1551 01:07:44,320 --> 01:07:46,720 Speaker 3: All right, Well, we will continue to see how these 1552 01:07:46,760 --> 01:07:49,960 Speaker 3: young fellas do once the NFL season starts, and obviously 1553 01:07:50,120 --> 01:07:51,720 Speaker 3: will training camps and all that good stuff, Adam. 1554 01:07:51,760 --> 01:07:53,680 Speaker 2: We appreciate you joining us as always. Thanks so much, 1555 01:07:53,720 --> 01:07:54,160 Speaker 2: brother O. 1556 01:07:54,320 --> 01:07:55,479 Speaker 1: Guys, thanks thanks Adam. 1557 01:07:55,760 --> 01:07:57,840 Speaker 2: All right, Manzi, we've held you off long enough.

Look, 1559 01:08:02,960 --> 01:08:03,400 Speaker 2: I'm sorry. 1560 01:08:04,160 --> 01:08:06,400 Speaker 6: Oh if I give you that look, you'll you'll know it. 1561 01:08:06,560 --> 01:08:07,040 Speaker 1: You'll know it. 1562 01:08:08,560 --> 01:08:11,680 Speaker 6: Earlier, not at all, Guys, I don't even know what 1563 01:08:11,800 --> 01:08:15,480 Speaker 6: to say about Steph Curry. Like it's almost unfair the 1564 01:08:15,600 --> 01:08:16,639 Speaker 6: way he scores. 1565 01:08:16,840 --> 01:08:19,200 Speaker 2: It is fish embarrassed, demoralize it. 1566 01:08:19,520 --> 01:08:21,880 Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly, but it's like doesn't matter if you put 1567 01:08:21,880 --> 01:08:24,000 Speaker 6: two three people on him. He does a circus act 1568 01:08:24,080 --> 01:08:26,840 Speaker 6: and he just makes these incredible shots, falling off of 1569 01:08:26,960 --> 01:08:31,080 Speaker 6: one foot, and yet he does it so elegantly. It's incredible. 1570 01:08:31,400 --> 01:08:33,880 Speaker 6: Fifty points the most ever in a game seven as 1571 01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:38,200 Speaker 6: Chef Curry really single handedly eliminated the Sacramento Kings in 1572 01:08:38,320 --> 01:08:41,280 Speaker 6: Game seven. One twenty to one hundred was the final score. 1573 01:08:41,560 --> 01:08:43,760 Speaker 6: He even told him to light up the beam. I 1574 01:08:43,760 --> 01:08:44,600 Speaker 6: don't know if you noticed that. 1575 01:08:46,880 --> 01:08:48,519 Speaker 2: Now we got a sprat in the parking lot. We 1576 01:08:48,560 --> 01:08:50,120 Speaker 2: gotta fight Ryan Hey. 1577 01:08:50,200 --> 01:08:51,920 Speaker 6: One of the plays like it ended in it. He 1578 01:08:51,960 --> 01:08:53,960 Speaker 6: looked over and he slammed his hand. He said, light 1579 01:08:54,080 --> 01:08:54,559 Speaker 6: up the beam. 1580 01:08:54,840 --> 01:08:59,080 Speaker 2: He need bite you up, gay wan. It is the 1581 01:08:59,160 --> 01:09:00,800 Speaker 2: Warriors later and then all of a sudden, you going 1582 01:09:00,840 --> 01:09:02,320 Speaker 2: to see you here? What a little black guy. That's 1583 01:09:02,320 --> 01:09:03,720 Speaker 2: because I had to light up his eye. 1584 01:09:05,200 --> 01:09:05,479 Speaker 1: That's it. 1585 01:09:05,600 --> 01:09:06,160 Speaker 6: That's what he did. 1586 01:09:06,240 --> 01:09:06,880 Speaker 2: That's what he did. 1587 01:09:07,000 --> 01:09:09,120 Speaker 6: But the unsung hero that I'm gonna give the credit 1588 01:09:09,200 --> 01:09:11,799 Speaker 6: to is Kevon Looney because he ended with eleven points 1589 01:09:11,840 --> 01:09:15,599 Speaker 6: and twenty one rebounds. Nobody on the Kings had more 1590 01:09:15,640 --> 01:09:18,639 Speaker 6: than nine rebounds on their own, so he had twenty one. 1591 01:09:19,160 --> 01:09:21,840 Speaker 6: The Warriors are not going to face the Lakers on Tuesday. 1592 01:09:22,160 --> 01:09:24,360 Speaker 6: This will be the first playoff series between LA and 1593 01:09:24,439 --> 01:09:28,120 Speaker 6: Golden State since nineteen ninety one.

I want to go back to 1623 01:10:33,680 --> 01:10:35,280 Speaker 3: a little bit real quick with the draft. Something I 1624 01:10:35,320 --> 01:10:39,880 Speaker 3: thought was interesting. One of the bigger sports personalities, but 1625 01:10:40,040 --> 01:10:42,080 Speaker 3: now and also the last couple of few seasons has 1626 01:10:42,120 --> 01:10:44,200 Speaker 3: been a coach, but still one of the biggest sports 1627 01:10:44,280 --> 01:10:46,920 Speaker 3: personalities is Dion Sanders and Ryan. 1628 01:10:46,920 --> 01:10:47,800 Speaker 2: I don't know if you saw this. 1629 01:10:48,479 --> 01:10:52,320 Speaker 3: There was only one HBCU player that was drafted, and 1630 01:10:52,400 --> 01:10:54,120 Speaker 3: he was like maybe sixth round and he went to 1631 01:10:54,200 --> 01:10:58,040 Speaker 3: Jackson State. He was a player former player for Dion Sanders. 1632 01:10:58,120 --> 01:11:01,280 Speaker 3: Deon Sanders went out there and Base was upset with 1633 01:11:01,400 --> 01:11:04,360 Speaker 3: the fact with this happening. He was really upset with 1634 01:11:04,400 --> 01:11:05,880 Speaker 3: the fact that only won, and he said it was 1635 01:11:05,880 --> 01:11:09,000 Speaker 3: a disservice that these thirty one other teams didn't fit 1636 01:11:09,080 --> 01:11:11,400 Speaker 3: to draft anyone from the HBCUs. 1637 01:11:12,640 --> 01:11:15,439 Speaker 2: The NFL has an actual combine that is. 1638 01:11:15,560 --> 01:11:19,680 Speaker 3: Strictly for HBCUs as are trying to get more representation 1639 01:11:19,800 --> 01:11:21,719 Speaker 3: in the league for those players and who are playing 1640 01:11:21,760 --> 01:11:25,080 Speaker 3: in those universities. Isaiah Bolden is the one I'm referring 1641 01:11:25,120 --> 01:11:29,439 Speaker 3: to who went in the draft this year, so there 1642 01:11:29,520 --> 01:11:33,439 Speaker 3: was only one. I thought it was interesting because on 1643 01:11:33,600 --> 01:11:37,040 Speaker 3: one end, I hear Dion Sanders, I truly do, but 1644 01:11:37,160 --> 01:11:41,400 Speaker 3: I also feel like, well, that's why HBCUs. If you 1645 01:11:41,520 --> 01:11:43,840 Speaker 3: feel that way, if you feel that compelled, if you 1646 01:11:43,880 --> 01:11:47,719 Speaker 3: feel that strongly they needed you to stay around because 1647 01:11:48,040 --> 01:11:50,080 Speaker 3: last year there were four drafted. 1648 01:11:50,439 --> 01:11:52,240 Speaker 2: And a part of that, you could argue, is that he's. 1649 01:11:52,120 --> 01:11:55,480 Speaker 3: There, right, He's promoting the brand, he's helping these HBCUs 1650 01:11:55,520 --> 01:11:57,680 Speaker 3: are making, he's getting fans to watching care of it. 1651 01:11:57,760 --> 01:12:00,720 Speaker 3: I think ESPN is airing games. It's a big deal, 1652 01:12:01,200 --> 01:12:03,840 Speaker 3: and so for it's like, if you really want things 1653 01:12:03,880 --> 01:12:05,080 Speaker 3: to change, you kind of got to be in the 1654 01:12:05,120 --> 01:12:06,960 Speaker 3: midst of it. So I'm not mad that he left. 1655 01:12:07,000 --> 01:12:08,800 Speaker 3: Go get your money, go coach, you put in your time. 1656 01:12:09,000 --> 01:12:12,320 Speaker 3: But I'm saying this is why those who would be 1657 01:12:12,479 --> 01:12:14,840 Speaker 3: upset with him, or who would have questioned the move, 1658 01:12:15,120 --> 01:12:16,960 Speaker 3: this is why they would say it because you were 1659 01:12:17,000 --> 01:12:20,560 Speaker 3: an ambassador, you were helping to get things changed. You 1660 01:12:20,760 --> 01:12:22,840 Speaker 3: coming all of a sudden, you get ed reed coming 1661 01:12:23,080 --> 01:12:24,560 Speaker 3: and obviously that didn't work out. But I mean, you 1662 01:12:24,640 --> 01:12:27,120 Speaker 3: get all these former big name players who want to 1663 01:12:27,120 --> 01:12:30,160 Speaker 3: come coach. These things are good for the HBCUs, and 1664 01:12:30,280 --> 01:12:33,240 Speaker 3: these keep eyeballs on them, and maybe guys get drafted. 1665 01:12:33,400 --> 01:12:35,200 Speaker 3: Maybe it's simply because of the pressure you put on 1666 01:12:35,280 --> 01:12:38,599 Speaker 3: them being outspoken. So I thought that was interesting where 1667 01:12:38,640 --> 01:12:41,280 Speaker 3: it's like, yeah, you're saying that, but you're gone. You're 1668 01:12:41,280 --> 01:12:46,040 Speaker 3: in Colorado now, and that's why some folks question will 1669 01:12:46,560 --> 01:12:48,840 Speaker 3: finish the job? Stay here, continue to help the brand, 1670 01:12:48,880 --> 01:12:53,799 Speaker 3: help these players, help the conference get bigger. 1671 01:12:55,439 --> 01:12:58,080 Speaker 4: I think he's always going to be questioned. I don't 1672 01:12:58,080 --> 01:13:00,400 Speaker 4: think there's any right way to do it. You're right, 1673 01:13:00,560 --> 01:13:05,160 Speaker 4: you're right, and Kelvin, I'll put it like this in Kelvin, 1674 01:13:05,200 --> 01:13:07,519 Speaker 4: I think for you and myself, we probably have even 1675 01:13:07,560 --> 01:13:10,800 Speaker 4: heard some of those rumblings. You're from Detroit, but you 1676 01:13:10,880 --> 01:13:14,800 Speaker 4: live in California, you work in California. So they say, well, Kelvin, man, 1677 01:13:14,880 --> 01:13:16,400 Speaker 4: you ain't come back to the d and put on 1678 01:13:16,560 --> 01:13:19,960 Speaker 4: for the city. Man, you're not doing Detroit rate like 1679 01:13:21,400 --> 01:13:23,960 Speaker 4: and you're raising a family in California, but you a 1680 01:13:24,040 --> 01:13:26,240 Speaker 4: Detroit co. I'm from Pasadena, I lived in the Valley. 1681 01:13:26,240 --> 01:13:29,920 Speaker 4: I live in Houston now, Okay. And there's a limit 1682 01:13:30,040 --> 01:13:31,600 Speaker 4: to the things you can do. And I think that 1683 01:13:32,240 --> 01:13:34,960 Speaker 4: that debate, those feelings will be there, But I think 1684 01:13:35,040 --> 01:13:37,680 Speaker 4: from an overall perspective, you're gonna have to look back 1685 01:13:37,720 --> 01:13:44,519 Speaker 4: and appreciate HBCU's what Dion did, And unfortunately I don't Kelvin, 1686 01:13:44,560 --> 01:13:47,080 Speaker 4: I don't know. Forget me you're older than me. Is 1687 01:13:47,160 --> 01:13:50,320 Speaker 4: there any writer way to have done that? Because if 1688 01:13:50,360 --> 01:13:52,240 Speaker 4: he told people, hey, man, I'm gonna come for one 1689 01:13:52,320 --> 01:13:55,240 Speaker 4: year that I'm out, he probably doesn't get the commitments 1690 01:13:55,280 --> 01:13:57,320 Speaker 4: he would have gotten. And now that he leaves the 1691 01:13:57,360 --> 01:13:59,640 Speaker 4: way he left, it was like a shock. He was like, 1692 01:13:59,720 --> 01:14:01,840 Speaker 4: d we thought we're gonna have you forever. And it's like, 1693 01:14:02,400 --> 01:14:05,360 Speaker 4: maybe Dion would have state forever and I'll address this, 1694 01:14:05,520 --> 01:14:11,479 Speaker 4: and so may have feelings about it. Everybody's not on 1695 01:14:11,680 --> 01:14:14,920 Speaker 4: board with what you have to do to succeed back 1696 01:14:15,000 --> 01:14:18,599 Speaker 4: home or sometimes in the smaller marketplaces. So maybe there 1697 01:14:18,640 --> 01:14:21,200 Speaker 4: were things that Dion needed to do and I can't speak, 1698 01:14:21,200 --> 01:14:24,360 Speaker 4: I'm only assuming and the reason Dion had to go 1699 01:14:24,600 --> 01:14:27,960 Speaker 4: was because those things couldn't be accomplished. Kelvin in my 1700 01:14:28,080 --> 01:14:28,920 Speaker 4: wrong help me here? 1701 01:14:29,080 --> 01:14:29,160 Speaker 5: Well. 1702 01:14:29,200 --> 01:14:31,559 Speaker 3: I also think the criticisms, or the least the folks 1703 01:14:31,560 --> 01:14:34,120 Speaker 3: who were challenged by his decision, it is because it's like, 1704 01:14:34,200 --> 01:14:35,440 Speaker 3: you went to go to Colorado. 1705 01:14:35,800 --> 01:14:37,519 Speaker 2: You didn't go to Florida State where you were. You're 1706 01:14:37,520 --> 01:14:38,799 Speaker 2: in alum and it makes sense. 1707 01:14:38,680 --> 01:14:41,000 Speaker 3: Like, oh, wow, you're going back home to play in Florida, 1708 01:14:41,080 --> 01:14:43,200 Speaker 3: in Florida State, I should say, you know, or he's 1709 01:14:43,320 --> 01:14:46,479 Speaker 3: going to like, you can't turn down a Michigan job, right, 1710 01:14:46,520 --> 01:14:48,720 Speaker 3: you can't turn down USC or something like that. I 1711 01:14:48,760 --> 01:14:50,960 Speaker 3: think folks were also saying, Okay, you're leaving Jackson State. 1712 01:14:51,000 --> 01:14:55,280 Speaker 3: You're leaving in HBCU to go to Colorado. So it's 1713 01:14:55,320 --> 01:14:58,000 Speaker 3: kind of like, okay, so I think that was it. 1714 01:14:58,080 --> 01:15:00,240 Speaker 3: But I saw that because we're talking draft the ay 1715 01:15:00,280 --> 01:15:03,599 Speaker 3: think I saw him criticizing the NFL. The NFL and listen, 1716 01:15:03,720 --> 01:15:05,320 Speaker 3: it is a difficult thing. They're saying, we got to 1717 01:15:05,360 --> 01:15:06,800 Speaker 3: drop the best players. You just heard Adam. 1718 01:15:06,840 --> 01:15:08,479 Speaker 2: Do you want the best players? You want the value? 1719 01:15:08,800 --> 01:15:10,400 Speaker 3: And it's still at the point where they're saying, hey, 1720 01:15:10,400 --> 01:15:12,439 Speaker 3: if you're playing at these HBCUs, I think a lot 1721 01:15:12,439 --> 01:15:15,840 Speaker 3: of people question, well, how talented are most of these 1722 01:15:15,920 --> 01:15:19,280 Speaker 3: guys playing here? And so therefore they maybe not getting 1723 01:15:19,320 --> 01:15:22,240 Speaker 3: those looks. But we'll see what happens in the future. Again, 1724 01:15:22,280 --> 01:15:24,880 Speaker 3: the NFL has created this combine now the last couple 1725 01:15:24,880 --> 01:15:28,840 Speaker 3: of seasons that's specifically for them and the those in 1726 01:15:29,120 --> 01:15:32,200 Speaker 3: the HBCUs, so a whole lot more to get to. 1727 01:15:32,680 --> 01:15:34,559 Speaker 3: We'll go back to the NBA a little bit more. 1728 01:15:34,640 --> 01:15:36,360 Speaker 3: Get you updated on what's been happening. Now. 1729 01:15:36,360 --> 01:15:37,720 Speaker 2: We got to look ahead a little bit too. You 1730 01:15:37,800 --> 01:15:39,160 Speaker 2: got Lakers Warriors. 1731 01:15:39,479 --> 01:15:42,920 Speaker 3: As Monte just said, Tuesday will be game one already, Ryan, 1732 01:15:43,080 --> 01:15:45,680 Speaker 3: I've already got a text message from people.

But I'll tell you what, No, I'm definitely 1769 01:17:24,960 --> 01:17:27,000 Speaker 3: feeling old. We only got a couple of minutes here 1770 01:17:27,000 --> 01:17:28,479 Speaker 3: before we go back to a quick break. But I 1771 01:17:28,560 --> 01:17:32,760 Speaker 3: want to throw out for those who kind of maybe 1772 01:17:32,800 --> 01:17:35,160 Speaker 3: been driving and working or obviously if you just simply 1773 01:17:35,240 --> 01:17:37,880 Speaker 3: saw the score, but don't really have the context. 1774 01:17:37,520 --> 01:17:37,920 Speaker 1: Of the game. 1775 01:17:38,000 --> 01:17:40,640 Speaker 3: The Warriors win Game seven, as Monty said, just been 1776 01:17:40,720 --> 01:17:43,960 Speaker 3: in the goal, Steph goes nuts and drops fifty on him. 1777 01:17:44,200 --> 01:17:46,120 Speaker 3: He went ahead and win a half century on him 1778 01:17:46,640 --> 01:17:48,760 Speaker 3: and gets the job done. You could tell that the 1779 01:17:49,400 --> 01:17:52,240 Speaker 3: Kings were overwhelmed. You could tell it's a lot for them, right. 1780 01:17:52,280 --> 01:17:54,439 Speaker 3: They had been a postseason sixteen years, I believe, and 1781 01:17:54,800 --> 01:17:56,880 Speaker 3: all of a sudden they're there to Game seven against 1782 01:17:56,880 --> 01:17:59,160 Speaker 3: the raining champs, and the raining champs? What raining champs 1783 01:17:59,200 --> 01:18:00,840 Speaker 3: on them and remind of them that they know what 1784 01:18:00,920 --> 01:18:03,840 Speaker 3: they're doing. They're four time winners that with that core, 1785 01:18:04,600 --> 01:18:06,320 Speaker 3: so they're able to do that. Now we look forward 1786 01:18:06,360 --> 01:18:09,400 Speaker 3: to the Tuesday game against the Warriors, which I mean, 1787 01:18:09,400 --> 01:18:11,840 Speaker 3: I'm sorry against the Lakers, and I will get there 1788 01:18:11,880 --> 01:18:13,120 Speaker 3: in a moment, but I want to read it. 1789 01:18:13,240 --> 01:18:13,760 Speaker 2: You text it. 1790 01:18:13,760 --> 01:18:17,200 Speaker 3: I'm sure you've gotten or get the minute it happened. 1791 01:18:17,479 --> 01:18:19,639 Speaker 3: I'm sitting here in the studio, we're doing our radio thing. 1792 01:18:19,720 --> 01:18:23,080 Speaker 3: I get a text immediately, Hey Kelvin, how are you 1793 01:18:24,040 --> 01:18:24,919 Speaker 3: Lakers Wars? 1794 01:18:25,280 --> 01:18:29,160 Speaker 2: You have the hookup for tickets preferably Game three. 1795 01:18:31,160 --> 01:18:33,680 Speaker 3: I mean, I don't even know if the game was 1796 01:18:33,760 --> 01:18:37,000 Speaker 3: over again officially, and I already got that text message 1797 01:18:37,040 --> 01:18:40,240 Speaker 3: from folks you got the hookup, so I'm laughing. 1798 01:18:40,439 --> 01:18:42,160 Speaker 1: He does, by the way, he has the hookup. 1799 01:18:42,439 --> 01:18:46,720 Speaker 2: Hold up listen.

Somebody said it 1853 01:20:58,080 --> 01:21:01,320 Speaker 3: great that most if you go around the city and 1854 01:21:01,479 --> 01:21:04,719 Speaker 3: city and they're there. Of course the fans are excited 1855 01:21:04,720 --> 01:21:07,639 Speaker 3: about whatever the game may be.

You go to get your lunch, let's 1862 01:21:21,600 --> 01:21:24,080 Speaker 3: go next. Like it's all day, the whole entire time. 1863 01:21:24,120 --> 01:21:27,120 Speaker 3: So I thought, that's let's go next. I don't know 1864 01:21:27,160 --> 01:21:30,240 Speaker 3: why everyone something like that. I don't know why it 1865 01:21:30,320 --> 01:21:33,439 Speaker 3: made the entire city sound like that. But that's kind 1866 01:21:33,479 --> 01:21:34,880 Speaker 3: of cool. So we'll talk a little more hoops in 1867 01:21:34,920 --> 01:21:36,520 Speaker 3: a moment. I want to go back to a conversation 1868 01:21:36,680 --> 01:21:38,559 Speaker 3: though that we had a little bit Adam kaplan. 1869 01:21:38,600 --> 01:21:43,439 Speaker 2: We talked about Lamar Jackson and what he uh was 1870 01:21:43,479 --> 01:21:45,000 Speaker 2: able to do. And here's what's crazy. 1871 01:21:45,040 --> 01:21:46,519 Speaker 3: You've been in the pre you were in the pros, 1872 01:21:46,560 --> 01:21:48,120 Speaker 3: and you know this, and you even know it from 1873 01:21:48,200 --> 01:21:51,639 Speaker 3: just your post professional basketball career, right, trying to navigate 1874 01:21:51,680 --> 01:21:55,040 Speaker 3: this space, this media space, with or without agents, and 1875 01:21:55,120 --> 01:21:57,679 Speaker 3: how to do it. And the man negotiated a deal 1876 01:21:57,720 --> 01:22:00,479 Speaker 3: for himself, and obviously it made it complicated for the 1877 01:22:00,560 --> 01:22:02,519 Speaker 3: brass over there at the Ravens where you're used to 1878 01:22:02,560 --> 01:22:04,800 Speaker 3: dealing with agents, you're used to dealing with managers, are 1879 01:22:04,880 --> 01:22:07,240 Speaker 3: used to dealing with middleman. In this case, it was 1880 01:22:07,320 --> 01:22:10,479 Speaker 3: dealing with Lamar Jackson himself. But look, the fact of 1881 01:22:10,520 --> 01:22:13,000 Speaker 3: the matter is whether you liked the tactics, whether you 1882 01:22:13,160 --> 01:22:15,600 Speaker 3: like how he did it. Some of this stuff is 1883 01:22:15,680 --> 01:22:20,320 Speaker 3: exactly what agents do, right. Agents leak information, agents say things, 1884 01:22:20,439 --> 01:22:23,720 Speaker 3: agents hold press conferences, agents put out tweets. They do 1885 01:22:23,840 --> 01:22:26,040 Speaker 3: whatever they need to do to get the deal done. 1886 01:22:26,439 --> 01:22:29,000 Speaker 3: And it was weird in that you had the player 1887 01:22:29,120 --> 01:22:32,680 Speaker 3: himself doing the tweets, right, doing the telling hey, I 1888 01:22:32,800 --> 01:22:34,840 Speaker 3: requested a trade. On March twenty seventh. He said that 1889 01:22:35,240 --> 01:22:37,080 Speaker 3: right as John Harbo's getting ready to speak at the 1890 01:22:37,520 --> 01:22:40,360 Speaker 3: conference there with coaches, He's like, he drops it right 1891 01:22:40,400 --> 01:22:41,800 Speaker 3: then and there. So he knew it would get a 1892 01:22:41,840 --> 01:22:44,120 Speaker 3: lot of attention. But the fact of the matter is 1893 01:22:44,200 --> 01:22:46,000 Speaker 3: he was able to get this deal done. They're saying 1894 01:22:46,040 --> 01:22:49,400 Speaker 3: that again. It's it's supposedly worth two hundred and sixty 1895 01:22:49,439 --> 01:22:52,479 Speaker 3: million dollars. He's the highest played player in the league 1896 01:22:52,479 --> 01:22:54,519 Speaker 3: at fifty two million dollars a year and including a 1897 01:22:54,720 --> 01:22:57,320 Speaker 3: one hundred and eighty five million dollars of that guaranteed. 1898 01:22:58,960 --> 01:23:01,679 Speaker 3: He wanted two thirty Reportedly, that's what he was looking 1899 01:23:01,760 --> 01:23:05,639 Speaker 3: for guaranteed, kind of being that Deshaun Watson category. 1900 01:23:05,960 --> 01:23:06,840 Speaker 2: But look, I said this. 1901 01:23:07,160 --> 01:23:10,320 Speaker 3: You know this from your parents telling you, wait, we're 1902 01:23:10,360 --> 01:23:12,080 Speaker 3: not about to double down a mistake or do it 1903 01:23:12,120 --> 01:23:14,799 Speaker 3: double down on something. Still, somebody else did that was stupid, 1904 01:23:14,960 --> 01:23:19,040 Speaker 3: right If the Cleveland Browns, who by the way, are 1905 01:23:19,080 --> 01:23:21,960 Speaker 3: the Cleveland Browns who haven't done a lot right when 1906 01:23:22,000 --> 01:23:24,439 Speaker 3: it comes to the quarterback position, if they choose to 1907 01:23:24,479 --> 01:23:26,639 Speaker 3: give somebody who's going through got a bunch of issues 1908 01:23:26,720 --> 01:23:30,320 Speaker 3: right now from the legal standpoint, who isn't necessarily great 1909 01:23:30,360 --> 01:23:33,920 Speaker 3: as far as you know, the prestige that comes with 1910 01:23:34,080 --> 01:23:36,920 Speaker 3: this person's name, and then not to mention, you know, 1911 01:23:37,080 --> 01:23:39,160 Speaker 3: hadn't played the football in quite some time. They want 1912 01:23:39,200 --> 01:23:41,439 Speaker 3: to give guaranteed money to somebody that the NFL has 1913 01:23:41,479 --> 01:23:45,240 Speaker 3: never done that, including Tom Brady, including Aaron Rodgers, including 1914 01:23:45,320 --> 01:23:46,280 Speaker 3: Russell Wilson, never. 1915 01:23:46,240 --> 01:23:46,760 Speaker 2: Money like that. 1916 01:23:47,360 --> 01:23:48,800 Speaker 3: Why do I have to double down on what the 1917 01:23:48,920 --> 01:23:52,920 Speaker 3: Cleveland Browns did if I'm the buff Baltimore Ravens. So 1918 01:23:53,320 --> 01:23:55,840 Speaker 3: that's I get where they're coming from. Look, we'll take 1919 01:23:55,880 --> 01:23:57,599 Speaker 3: care of you. We'll throw a bunch of money yourway. 1920 01:23:58,000 --> 01:24:01,040 Speaker 3: But I can't do dumb just because they did dumb 1921 01:24:01,640 --> 01:24:03,120 Speaker 3: and he stuck to his guns though I was able 1922 01:24:03,160 --> 01:24:04,240 Speaker 3: to get the money and get the deal done. 1923 01:24:04,280 --> 01:24:05,840 Speaker 2: And it feels right. I said this when we were 1924 01:24:05,840 --> 01:24:06,840 Speaker 2: at him. It just feels right. 1925 01:24:06,960 --> 01:24:09,320 Speaker 3: Maybe I set it off the air, but it just 1926 01:24:09,400 --> 01:24:12,960 Speaker 3: feels in that the Baltimore Ravens, the way they're constructed, 1927 01:24:13,040 --> 01:24:17,040 Speaker 3: the way they choose to operate, he fits what they do. 1928 01:24:17,160 --> 01:24:19,400 Speaker 3: And I gave them credit because they didn't take him 1929 01:24:19,400 --> 01:24:21,240 Speaker 3: when you know, five years ago, whatever it was, when 1930 01:24:21,240 --> 01:24:21,839 Speaker 3: he was coming. 1931 01:24:21,640 --> 01:24:24,479 Speaker 2: Into the league and say, hey, you have to play 1932 01:24:24,600 --> 01:24:26,439 Speaker 2: like this, you have to beat this. 1933 01:24:26,520 --> 01:24:28,600 Speaker 3: We're gonna get an offensive coordinator wh's gonna beat you 1934 01:24:28,720 --> 01:24:30,040 Speaker 3: and bend you and muld you into this. 1935 01:24:30,680 --> 01:24:32,000 Speaker 2: They were like, oh, what does he do great? What 1936 01:24:32,080 --> 01:24:32,639 Speaker 2: does he do well? 1937 01:24:33,120 --> 01:24:36,320 Speaker 3: Well, we're gonna build around that. We're gonna play around that. 1938 01:24:36,880 --> 01:24:39,960 Speaker 3: And it's been successful. They've had successive, got another postseason 1939 01:24:40,000 --> 01:24:42,120 Speaker 3: and a bunch with him. Obviously the next season. The 1940 01:24:42,240 --> 01:24:44,519 Speaker 3: next thing is to get an AFC championship team into 1941 01:24:44,600 --> 01:24:47,880 Speaker 3: a super Bowl and win one. But it just felt 1942 01:24:47,960 --> 01:24:49,920 Speaker 3: like they were supposed to get this done. It didn't 1943 01:24:49,920 --> 01:24:51,840 Speaker 3: look like they would for a moment, but it just 1944 01:24:51,920 --> 01:24:54,840 Speaker 3: feels right. And kudos to him for staying true to him, 1945 01:24:55,080 --> 01:24:56,880 Speaker 3: sticking to his guns. And I think for him it 1946 01:24:57,000 --> 01:24:59,800 Speaker 3: was beyond just simply me Lamar Jackson. I think it 1947 01:24:59,920 --> 01:25:03,040 Speaker 3: was saying, hey, players, we're playing a sports as brutal, 1948 01:25:03,640 --> 01:25:05,880 Speaker 3: We're playing a sport that is the biggest sport in 1949 01:25:05,920 --> 01:25:09,360 Speaker 3: America by far. Let's get as much as we can too. 1950 01:25:09,640 --> 01:25:12,880 Speaker 3: And I'm trying to set the precedent for other quarterbacks, 1951 01:25:13,200 --> 01:25:16,040 Speaker 3: for folks in maybe even other positions, to get as 1952 01:25:16,160 --> 01:25:18,880 Speaker 3: much as you can guaranteed, and I'm willing to sack, 1953 01:25:19,160 --> 01:25:21,320 Speaker 3: you know, sacrifice for it and put myself out there 1954 01:25:21,360 --> 01:25:23,320 Speaker 3: and maybe even have to be traded to do so. 1955 01:25:24,840 --> 01:25:26,479 Speaker 1: It's not for everybody, Kelvin. 1956 01:25:26,680 --> 01:25:30,080 Speaker 4: So so, for instance, Ryan Hollins needed an agent because 1957 01:25:30,640 --> 01:25:34,040 Speaker 4: I was in a situation where I could not be 1958 01:25:34,240 --> 01:25:34,720 Speaker 4: bad cop. 1959 01:25:35,360 --> 01:25:38,440 Speaker 1: When you do your own negotiations. 1960 01:25:37,600 --> 01:25:39,800 Speaker 4: You have to be good cop and bad cop right 1961 01:25:40,080 --> 01:25:43,400 Speaker 4: on this side. In broadcasting, I learned that the hard way. 1962 01:25:43,800 --> 01:25:47,400 Speaker 4: I fell into a situation where you know, I'm obviously 1963 01:25:47,520 --> 01:25:50,160 Speaker 4: a talent and I was in a negotiation I won't 1964 01:25:50,160 --> 01:25:52,479 Speaker 4: say we're in, and I tried to be a good 1965 01:25:52,520 --> 01:25:56,000 Speaker 4: cop bad cop, and I was hurt in my career 1966 01:25:56,080 --> 01:26:00,839 Speaker 4: because of it. But when you are Lebron James Tamar Jackson, 1967 01:26:01,320 --> 01:26:05,320 Speaker 4: your money is penciled in. And he knew one thing, Hey, 1968 01:26:06,120 --> 01:26:10,160 Speaker 4: y'all can't not have me. You guys cannot afford to 1969 01:26:10,280 --> 01:26:13,439 Speaker 4: go away from me. You can't afford to roll the dice, 1970 01:26:13,920 --> 01:26:15,960 Speaker 4: go back into the draft and try to make another 1971 01:26:16,120 --> 01:26:19,960 Speaker 4: Lamar Jackson. And because of that, guess what, he was 1972 01:26:20,040 --> 01:26:22,800 Speaker 4: able to do his own deal. And of course I'm 1973 01:26:22,800 --> 01:26:26,479 Speaker 4: sure he had an attorney or legal representative. Look over 1974 01:26:26,520 --> 01:26:29,400 Speaker 4: it and see that you know, the deal was okay. 1975 01:26:29,560 --> 01:26:31,240 Speaker 4: There is no trick or read or nothing in there. 1976 01:26:31,560 --> 01:26:34,200 Speaker 4: But ultimately, at the end of the day, his deal 1977 01:26:34,360 --> 01:26:37,200 Speaker 4: was gonna be his deal. What's for Lamar Jackson is 1978 01:26:37,240 --> 01:26:39,639 Speaker 4: not gonna be for everybody. So he's saying for these 1979 01:26:39,800 --> 01:26:43,080 Speaker 4: attorney fees because I can look at I can look 1980 01:26:43,120 --> 01:26:45,559 Speaker 4: at another player in my position at a comp and say, 1981 01:26:45,560 --> 01:26:48,439 Speaker 4: hey man, I'm gonna make more than this guy. 1982 01:26:48,840 --> 01:26:51,439 Speaker 1: I'm gonna get paid more than he's going to get paid. 1983 01:26:51,880 --> 01:26:54,960 Speaker 4: Now you go in and say, is someone just reading 1984 01:26:55,040 --> 01:27:00,320 Speaker 4: over the contract worth eight point seven million dollars or is. 1985 01:27:00,320 --> 01:27:02,639 Speaker 1: It worth ten thousand dollars? 1986 01:27:03,280 --> 01:27:03,400 Speaker 2: Right? 1987 01:27:03,640 --> 01:27:07,120 Speaker 4: Even twenty or thirty fifty, You could pay someone fifty 1988 01:27:07,240 --> 01:27:10,040 Speaker 4: thousand dollars in Calvin and Myron, you would be saving 1989 01:27:10,160 --> 01:27:11,160 Speaker 4: the rest of the money. 1990 01:27:11,680 --> 01:27:14,479 Speaker 3: Right, So we've heard that there's a whole percentages and 1991 01:27:14,560 --> 01:27:16,960 Speaker 3: point things usually which you start like, all right for 1992 01:27:17,040 --> 01:27:20,000 Speaker 3: those listening. Usually agents get ten percent, but then once 1993 01:27:20,040 --> 01:27:22,439 Speaker 3: you start getting the pros, it gets dial usually around 1994 01:27:22,520 --> 01:27:24,840 Speaker 3: three percent. Is you know, is worth three point three 1995 01:27:24,880 --> 01:27:26,400 Speaker 3: and a half percent is kind of where it is 1996 01:27:26,920 --> 01:27:29,040 Speaker 3: with these agents. But you can also negotiate to your 1997 01:27:29,080 --> 01:27:31,400 Speaker 3: point of points. You know, hey, instead of three percent, 1998 01:27:31,400 --> 01:27:32,760 Speaker 3: I'm gonna give you one percent, or I'm just gonna 1999 01:27:32,800 --> 01:27:35,120 Speaker 3: give you a flat feed, give you this million dollars 2000 01:27:35,160 --> 01:27:37,639 Speaker 3: if you get me this one hundred and eighty three guarantee, 2001 01:27:37,680 --> 01:27:38,280 Speaker 3: whatever it may be. 2002 01:27:38,479 --> 01:27:40,479 Speaker 2: So you're right, he could find ways to get a 2003 01:27:40,560 --> 01:27:41,040 Speaker 2: deal done. 2004 01:27:42,000 --> 01:27:45,840 Speaker 3: Ultimately, though you just mentioned why agents are beneficial is 2005 01:27:45,880 --> 01:27:47,400 Speaker 3: that they can get in there do the ugly work. 2006 01:27:47,400 --> 01:27:48,439 Speaker 2: They don't mind being the bad guys. 2007 01:27:48,479 --> 01:27:50,280 Speaker 3: The public generally don't know them, so if they put 2008 01:27:50,320 --> 01:27:52,360 Speaker 3: out a tweet pt other, it's like, who's that agent? 2009 01:27:52,360 --> 01:27:53,000 Speaker 2: I don't care whatever. 2010 01:27:53,200 --> 01:27:54,880 Speaker 3: All I know is I'm a fan of X team. 2011 01:27:55,200 --> 01:27:57,560 Speaker 3: Can we get this deal done? So that's one of 2012 01:27:57,600 --> 01:27:59,880 Speaker 3: the benefits. And also they can kind of navigate your 2013 01:28:00,080 --> 01:28:02,040 Speaker 3: career and that you know it's all right. 2014 01:28:02,040 --> 01:28:02,160 Speaker 1: Hey. 2015 01:28:02,280 --> 01:28:04,439 Speaker 3: Also, I'm gonna get you this endorsement. I kind of 2016 01:28:04,479 --> 01:28:06,800 Speaker 3: got this idea for how you should we present you, 2017 01:28:07,040 --> 01:28:09,400 Speaker 3: build you up, build the brand. So there's a benefits 2018 01:28:09,439 --> 01:28:12,080 Speaker 3: when it comes to that. But Lamar just was you know, listen, 2019 01:28:12,160 --> 01:28:14,200 Speaker 3: he seems to be his own kind of guy, beats 2020 01:28:14,280 --> 01:28:16,400 Speaker 3: the goo, goes to the beat of his own drum, 2021 01:28:16,720 --> 01:28:18,240 Speaker 3: and he's stuck to it, and he was able to 2022 01:28:18,280 --> 01:28:20,439 Speaker 3: get the done and get the deal done. And when 2023 01:28:20,439 --> 01:28:21,760 Speaker 3: you look at it, if you're the Ravens, you're like, 2024 01:28:21,760 --> 01:28:23,439 Speaker 3: look all right, yeah, we can make some trades, we 2025 01:28:23,479 --> 01:28:24,800 Speaker 3: can do some other things. What the fact of the 2026 01:28:24,840 --> 01:28:26,400 Speaker 3: matter is if you're trying to compete and get to 2027 01:28:26,400 --> 01:28:28,400 Speaker 3: where you guys are used to being. Which credit this 2028 01:28:28,560 --> 01:28:31,040 Speaker 3: organization that they've been a solid one for the last 2029 01:28:31,080 --> 01:28:34,120 Speaker 3: twenty plus years, is that we got to have a 2030 01:28:34,200 --> 01:28:37,000 Speaker 3: quarterback because we're about to see you know, Joe Burrow 2031 01:28:37,600 --> 01:28:41,679 Speaker 3: for the next ten years, right, Josh Allen, Pat Mahomes, 2032 01:28:43,200 --> 01:28:46,720 Speaker 3: you know Herbert. You got all these guys that look 2033 01:28:46,880 --> 01:28:49,839 Speaker 3: really good that they can be some really good, talented 2034 01:28:49,880 --> 01:28:51,559 Speaker 3: young quarterbacks. And when they and we can even talk 2035 01:28:51,560 --> 01:28:53,320 Speaker 3: about a little bit later, what the AFC South was 2036 01:28:53,360 --> 01:28:54,600 Speaker 3: able to do in the draft and all of a 2037 01:28:54,600 --> 01:28:57,720 Speaker 3: sudden they look like an up and coming conference. Now 2038 01:28:57,720 --> 01:28:59,360 Speaker 3: I went from the laughing stock of the NFL and 2039 01:28:59,439 --> 01:29:03,920 Speaker 3: now like, oh, then AFC South might be something for 2040 01:29:03,960 --> 01:29:05,560 Speaker 3: the next few years with these young quarterbacks. 2041 01:29:05,800 --> 01:29:08,000 Speaker 2: But you need a quarterback. We know that more than ever. 2042 01:29:08,479 --> 01:29:10,720 Speaker 3: And it just feel like they could not not get 2043 01:29:10,840 --> 01:29:13,200 Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson and a lot of folks were saying, you know, 2044 01:29:13,400 --> 01:29:14,719 Speaker 3: because he requested that trade. 2045 01:29:14,920 --> 01:29:16,920 Speaker 2: Let me tell you something. I'm in LA. 2046 01:29:17,040 --> 01:29:21,200 Speaker 3: You're from LA. People forget Kobe. Kobe Bryant requested a trade. 2047 01:29:21,800 --> 01:29:26,320 Speaker 3: Kobe Bryant was going to Detroit. By his own agents words, 2048 01:29:26,479 --> 01:29:30,360 Speaker 3: Rob Lincoln, if Vanessa Bryant his wife doesn't say, fellas 2049 01:29:30,479 --> 01:29:32,880 Speaker 3: Win going to Detroit, I can't grow up in LA. 2050 01:29:32,960 --> 01:29:34,559 Speaker 3: Living in LA and then all of a sudden living Detroit. 2051 01:29:34,840 --> 01:29:37,560 Speaker 3: Rob Alnca said that if you watch The Lakers, the 2052 01:29:38,120 --> 01:29:42,559 Speaker 3: documentary on them, Rob Alnka said, we had a deal 2053 01:29:42,680 --> 01:29:45,840 Speaker 3: done to go to Detroit because Kobe requested the trade. 2054 01:29:45,880 --> 01:29:48,360 Speaker 3: He was over, he was ready to go. Vanessa Bryant said, 2055 01:29:48,439 --> 01:29:50,880 Speaker 3: Win't going to Detroit. So my point is for those 2056 01:29:50,920 --> 01:29:53,880 Speaker 3: who were saying, man, he's not really because Lamar just 2057 01:29:53,960 --> 01:29:56,639 Speaker 3: posted a video not too long ago saying, hey, basically, 2058 01:29:57,680 --> 01:29:58,200 Speaker 3: it was hard. 2059 01:29:58,280 --> 01:29:59,680 Speaker 2: It was nail Biden. It was tough, but we got 2060 01:29:59,720 --> 01:30:00,280 Speaker 2: the deal done. 2061 01:30:00,320 --> 01:30:02,360 Speaker 3: And you know, he put up a football that had 2062 01:30:02,400 --> 01:30:04,760 Speaker 3: the Ravens logoing and he said, all I know is 2063 01:30:04,760 --> 01:30:07,000 Speaker 3: for the next five years is let's go flock or whatever. 2064 01:30:07,040 --> 01:30:09,360 Speaker 3: He said, you know, we're flocking or whatever. But the 2065 01:30:09,439 --> 01:30:11,760 Speaker 3: point is people will get over that. People like, oh, well, 2066 01:30:11,760 --> 01:30:13,360 Speaker 3: he kidding. Even he requests the trade, he doesn't want 2067 01:30:13,360 --> 01:30:14,760 Speaker 3: to be able to be a raven. No, I gotta 2068 01:30:14,800 --> 01:30:16,920 Speaker 3: do what's best for me. I gotta do what's best 2069 01:30:16,960 --> 01:30:19,280 Speaker 3: to get the deal done that I want. And again, 2070 01:30:19,439 --> 01:30:22,360 Speaker 3: folks request the trades all the time I live in LA. 2071 01:30:22,800 --> 01:30:25,160 Speaker 3: Let me tell you who folks aren't wavering their love, 2072 01:30:25,240 --> 01:30:28,080 Speaker 3: dying love about, and that's Kobe Bryant. They've gotten over 2073 01:30:28,160 --> 01:30:30,479 Speaker 3: the trade request, the upside, downs and good, the bad. 2074 01:30:30,760 --> 01:30:33,840 Speaker 3: He brought him, passionate, he brought him great moments, the 2075 01:30:34,000 --> 01:30:36,559 Speaker 3: ups and downs. He brought him championships and the fans 2076 01:30:36,640 --> 01:30:38,600 Speaker 3: love him. And if Lamar Jackson does that as he 2077 01:30:38,720 --> 01:30:40,640 Speaker 3: promised on his draft day when he was overlooked and 2078 01:30:40,680 --> 01:30:43,120 Speaker 3: went last in that draft, if he gets the deal done, 2079 01:30:43,200 --> 01:30:46,120 Speaker 3: continues to get the postseason, continues to build off momentum 2080 01:30:46,200 --> 01:30:49,040 Speaker 3: like that, and eventually gets them a ring they'll never forget. 2081 01:30:49,120 --> 01:30:51,679 Speaker 3: They will forget, or at least it will be part 2082 01:30:51,720 --> 01:30:53,280 Speaker 3: of the love story they had with him. 2083 01:30:53,520 --> 01:30:55,120 Speaker 2: When he requested that trade. 2084 01:30:55,640 --> 01:30:58,040 Speaker 1: He knew they couldn't afford to let him go. And 2085 01:30:58,840 --> 01:31:00,840 Speaker 1: as flawed as you. 2086 01:31:00,920 --> 01:31:04,320 Speaker 4: Say, Lamar Jackson may be, he's still one of the 2087 01:31:04,479 --> 01:31:06,519 Speaker 4: best quarterbacks that you have in the game. 2088 01:31:06,720 --> 01:31:11,320 Speaker 3: And I'm not one of those Lamar Jackson's that flawed. 2089 01:31:11,320 --> 01:31:14,200 Speaker 3: It ain't always the prettiest, but as it getting the 2090 01:31:14,280 --> 01:31:15,439 Speaker 3: job done, that's what I think. 2091 01:31:15,840 --> 01:31:18,800 Speaker 4: You know, you're gonna get to the playoffs. And he's 2092 01:31:18,840 --> 01:31:22,519 Speaker 4: in a situation where you say, hey, man, build around Lamar. 2093 01:31:22,960 --> 01:31:23,240 Speaker 1: I can. 2094 01:31:23,360 --> 01:31:28,040 Speaker 4: Okay, you know what, you know passes up to twenty 2095 01:31:28,120 --> 01:31:30,519 Speaker 4: yards and you know we're gonna have to, you know, 2096 01:31:30,640 --> 01:31:33,679 Speaker 4: rush you twenty times a game. Like that's just gonna 2097 01:31:33,680 --> 01:31:37,000 Speaker 4: be what it's gonna be. And it's better to have 2098 01:31:37,240 --> 01:31:39,760 Speaker 4: Lamar than to not have Lamar. I mean, listen, man, 2099 01:31:40,120 --> 01:31:43,560 Speaker 4: at the quarterback position, if you don't have it sufficiently, 2100 01:31:43,720 --> 01:31:47,800 Speaker 4: I mean you you struggle in the NFL. This is 2101 01:31:47,920 --> 01:31:51,599 Speaker 4: pulling Steph Curry. This is the equivalent. This is pulling 2102 01:31:51,600 --> 01:31:54,200 Speaker 4: Steph Curry off the Warriors. This is pulling Lebron James 2103 01:31:54,240 --> 01:31:57,519 Speaker 4: off the Lakers. Okay, this is this is all of that. 2104 01:31:57,880 --> 01:32:01,120 Speaker 4: This is pulling Hey Booker and kd off of the 2105 01:32:01,240 --> 01:32:04,400 Speaker 4: Sun's Like you just can't do it, man, So Hey, 2106 01:32:04,720 --> 01:32:07,640 Speaker 4: hats off to Lamar for knowing his value and he 2107 01:32:08,040 --> 01:32:11,000 Speaker 4: understood it. And the organization was in a situation where 2108 01:32:11,400 --> 01:32:13,840 Speaker 4: Kelvin they had to keep him, they had to hold 2109 01:32:13,880 --> 01:32:16,960 Speaker 4: on to him, and I think now you can build 2110 01:32:17,000 --> 01:32:19,280 Speaker 4: around him. Now, Kelvin, let me ask you this, he 2111 01:32:19,560 --> 01:32:22,040 Speaker 4: just got paid. Do you expect Lamar to be the 2112 01:32:22,120 --> 01:32:24,880 Speaker 4: Lamar that we know that at tucks and runs? Or 2113 01:32:24,920 --> 01:32:26,760 Speaker 4: do you think he's gonna change his game a little 2114 01:32:26,760 --> 01:32:28,800 Speaker 4: bit with the new money and you know, try to 2115 01:32:28,840 --> 01:32:29,759 Speaker 4: be more of a passer. 2116 01:32:29,840 --> 01:32:31,880 Speaker 3: Do you think he can be a passer? I think 2117 01:32:31,920 --> 01:32:34,160 Speaker 3: he has been a pastor. I think it's only gonna improve. 2118 01:32:34,360 --> 01:32:36,200 Speaker 3: Just like you in the jump shot, it kept getting 2119 01:32:36,240 --> 01:32:39,280 Speaker 3: better and better. I think, you know, as he continues 2120 01:32:39,320 --> 01:32:41,640 Speaker 3: to get some weapons. He's got OBJ there, so now 2121 01:32:41,640 --> 01:32:43,360 Speaker 3: all of a sudden, you got another weapon around. And 2122 01:32:43,439 --> 01:32:44,760 Speaker 3: by the way, I think he can also look at 2123 01:32:44,800 --> 01:32:46,680 Speaker 3: the organization and say, can we start to get some 2124 01:32:46,840 --> 01:32:49,000 Speaker 3: more weapons.

Mantzi told you earlier 2200 01:35:45,600 --> 01:35:47,840 Speaker 3: he did rolling ankle, so something to be concerned with. 2201 01:35:48,439 --> 01:35:50,720 Speaker 3: He spoke after the game, said he, you know, give 2202 01:35:50,720 --> 01:35:51,920 Speaker 3: a little tight and he said he felt like he 2203 01:35:52,000 --> 01:35:52,920 Speaker 3: just rolled it pretty bad. 2204 01:35:53,200 --> 01:35:55,400 Speaker 2: We'll see how that all plays out. But what he's 2205 01:35:55,400 --> 01:35:55,880 Speaker 2: been able to do. 2206 01:35:55,960 --> 01:35:59,360 Speaker 3: Folks were having conversations about how great was that fifty 2207 01:35:59,560 --> 01:36:01,719 Speaker 3: six per format, sixty six point performance? 2208 01:36:01,880 --> 01:36:02,040 Speaker 1: Was that? 2209 01:36:02,439 --> 01:36:05,040 Speaker 3: You know, was that Lebron game six versus Celtics level? 2210 01:36:06,080 --> 01:36:09,080 Speaker 3: You know, is it MJ versus the Celtics sixty three piece. 2211 01:36:08,920 --> 01:36:09,400 Speaker 2: On their head? 2212 01:36:09,800 --> 01:36:11,960 Speaker 3: I mean, we're trying to figure out how great that was, 2213 01:36:12,040 --> 01:36:13,519 Speaker 3: and then you're like, oh, well, it was great to see. 2214 01:36:13,560 --> 01:36:15,439 Speaker 3: But then he doubles it up with a forty two 2215 01:36:15,479 --> 01:36:19,320 Speaker 3: point the next game performance. I mean, and first of all, 2216 01:36:19,360 --> 01:36:21,559 Speaker 3: just a shot to even tie the game. Let's go there, 2217 01:36:22,280 --> 01:36:26,160 Speaker 3: you know, the yeah, a little push off, but he 2218 01:36:26,320 --> 01:36:28,040 Speaker 3: gets a shot to go in and go in overtime 2219 01:36:28,080 --> 01:36:29,880 Speaker 3: to get to win the Miami Heat over the Bucks. 2220 01:36:30,680 --> 01:36:33,320 Speaker 3: Jimmy Butler has been spectacular and he's one of those 2221 01:36:33,360 --> 01:36:37,200 Speaker 3: guys again when my daughters get older, your children are older, 2222 01:36:37,200 --> 01:36:39,400 Speaker 3: and folks can oh tell me, you know, I remember Lebron. 2223 01:36:39,439 --> 01:36:41,479 Speaker 3: I remember Steph, I remember Giannis, I remember all these people. 2224 01:36:42,479 --> 01:36:44,800 Speaker 3: He'll be so far down the list of people we name. 2225 01:36:46,120 --> 01:36:49,280 Speaker 2: He's not you know that guy. He doesn't have big deals. 2226 01:36:49,320 --> 01:36:51,920 Speaker 3: He doesn't have the beard like a James Harden, or 2227 01:36:51,960 --> 01:36:54,160 Speaker 3: he doesn't have the brow like Anthony David, so, you know, 2228 01:36:54,240 --> 01:36:57,840 Speaker 3: meaning identifiable things he doesn't have. You know, Draymond Green's 2229 01:36:57,880 --> 01:37:00,679 Speaker 3: gonna always be in our face because he as a podcast, 2230 01:37:00,720 --> 01:37:02,840 Speaker 3: he's always on TV. He's running his mouth, so like you, 2231 01:37:03,040 --> 01:37:06,759 Speaker 3: he'll be around and relevant in some sense some former fashion. 2232 01:37:07,520 --> 01:37:09,040 Speaker 3: But Jimmy Butler at the d of the day, it's like, 2233 01:37:09,240 --> 01:37:11,000 Speaker 3: I don't know if there's many guys if I said, 2234 01:37:11,000 --> 01:37:14,000 Speaker 3: hey man, this is a must win situation that I'm taking. 2235 01:37:13,840 --> 01:37:18,719 Speaker 1: Over him mm hmm. Kelevin, I completely agree. 2236 01:37:20,320 --> 01:37:25,400 Speaker 4: He makes our jobs hard, right because as an analyst saying, well, 2237 01:37:25,400 --> 01:37:27,400 Speaker 4: who's gonna win the game? Who's this, this and this, 2238 01:37:28,040 --> 01:37:30,679 Speaker 4: and then you're like, oh man, the number one seed 2239 01:37:30,760 --> 01:37:35,880 Speaker 4: and Jimmy Butler's like, so he makes it so hard 2240 01:37:35,960 --> 01:37:40,120 Speaker 4: to forecast what's actually gonna happen, and might remind folks 2241 01:37:40,160 --> 01:37:41,280 Speaker 4: I said it earlier in the show. 2242 01:37:42,080 --> 01:37:44,160 Speaker 2: They lost the first playing game. 2243 01:37:44,439 --> 01:37:44,760 Speaker 1: They did. 2244 01:37:45,400 --> 01:37:47,479 Speaker 2: They did dog. 2245 01:37:47,680 --> 01:37:52,400 Speaker 4: The team that loses the first playing game is not 2246 01:37:52,800 --> 01:37:54,960 Speaker 4: supposed to go and knock off the number one seed. 2247 01:37:55,080 --> 01:37:57,639 Speaker 1: But that's Jimmy Butler in a nutshell because everybody's looking 2248 01:37:57,680 --> 01:38:01,200 Speaker 1: at like what's wrong with you know?

I tell 2273 01:39:00,840 --> 01:39:03,599 Speaker 4: you this as a former player, as a guy who 2274 01:39:03,720 --> 01:39:06,920 Speaker 4: had the game plan for these guys. What you don't 2275 01:39:07,040 --> 01:39:11,439 Speaker 4: see is how you have to you literally twist and 2276 01:39:11,640 --> 01:39:16,000 Speaker 4: turn your defenses to guard Steph Curry. You're picking him 2277 01:39:16,120 --> 01:39:19,759 Speaker 4: up ninety four feet away from the basket. You're trapping 2278 01:39:19,960 --> 01:39:22,560 Speaker 4: your face. You're doing those things to keep saying so, 2279 01:39:22,720 --> 01:39:25,200 Speaker 4: even though Steph may not get a bucket, the reason 2280 01:39:25,280 --> 01:39:27,479 Speaker 4: that the other guys on the floor or on the 2281 01:39:27,520 --> 01:39:30,680 Speaker 4: team scored is because Steph is so dynamic at what 2282 01:39:30,840 --> 01:39:33,360 Speaker 4: he does now in terms of bam out of Bio, 2283 01:39:33,439 --> 01:39:36,040 Speaker 4: because you're like, that's who I asked about Bam out 2284 01:39:36,080 --> 01:39:40,559 Speaker 4: of Bio. Defensively, he can switch everything, he can roll 2285 01:39:40,640 --> 01:39:44,080 Speaker 4: to the rim. He's a big time rebounder. And yes, 2286 01:39:44,200 --> 01:39:47,280 Speaker 4: sometimes what happens is those numbers aren't there, and we 2287 01:39:47,400 --> 01:39:49,639 Speaker 4: can't fall in love with I think because the offensive 2288 01:39:49,720 --> 01:39:52,800 Speaker 4: numbers missing there to know what you can do defensively. 2289 01:39:52,920 --> 01:39:56,479 Speaker 4: So okay, when you're going at sabonus per se. What 2290 01:39:56,640 --> 01:39:59,040 Speaker 4: happened was what they gave up a lot of rebounds 2291 01:39:59,479 --> 01:40:02,160 Speaker 4: in the paint today, right Golden State attacked those boards 2292 01:40:02,200 --> 01:40:04,920 Speaker 4: they got in the paint. You don't give that up 2293 01:40:04,960 --> 01:40:06,960 Speaker 4: with Bam out of Bio in there, or you can. 2294 01:40:07,120 --> 01:40:09,479 Speaker 4: You know you can't switch, so which means you know 2295 01:40:09,880 --> 01:40:13,400 Speaker 4: you can't just switch bonus on the Curry. So now 2296 01:40:13,680 --> 01:40:16,120 Speaker 4: Curry's halving a field day, Bam out of Bio can 2297 01:40:16,200 --> 01:40:18,840 Speaker 4: switch with anybody, and twice on a Sunday. 2298 01:40:18,920 --> 01:40:20,559 Speaker 3: First of all, I feel like you feel like you're 2299 01:40:20,560 --> 01:40:24,280 Speaker 3: disrespecting Horace Grant Hire. That was a semi compliment. Horas 2300 01:40:24,320 --> 01:40:26,400 Speaker 3: Grant was playing with Michael Jordan Pippen, so it wasn't 2301 01:40:26,439 --> 01:40:28,280 Speaker 3: like he was asked to do a whole bunch. But listen, 2302 01:40:28,360 --> 01:40:30,080 Speaker 3: Bad out of Bayu is a he can play my 2303 01:40:30,160 --> 01:40:32,120 Speaker 3: team any day.

Oh man, he might 2307 01:40:38,360 --> 01:40:40,720 Speaker 3: be the one, you know, the third fourth, he might 2308 01:40:40,800 --> 01:40:43,519 Speaker 3: be the best big man. I'm like, hey, hey, hey, hey, okay, 2309 01:40:43,560 --> 01:40:45,560 Speaker 3: man not better than B.

I'm like, he's 2311 01:40:47,240 --> 01:40:49,400 Speaker 3: a fine player, he can play my team, but let's 2312 01:40:49,400 --> 01:40:51,080 Speaker 3: settle down with this like as if he's about to 2313 01:40:51,120 --> 01:40:52,240 Speaker 3: be this perennial All Star. 2314 01:40:53,400 --> 01:40:56,360 Speaker 2: But he is he Listen there, just what I was 2315 01:40:56,400 --> 01:40:57,599 Speaker 2: about to move on and concede. 2316 01:40:58,080 --> 01:40:59,960 Speaker 4: You gotta understand what that brother does on the court, 2317 01:41:00,040 --> 01:41:01,880 Speaker 4: and it's not always in numbers. And I think if 2318 01:41:01,920 --> 01:41:04,800 Speaker 4: you look at the Miami Heat, that's why their team 2319 01:41:04,840 --> 01:41:07,000 Speaker 4: as a whole is very overlooked. And then you look 2320 01:41:07,040 --> 01:41:09,240 Speaker 4: at it and you say they play winning back Sorry, 2321 01:41:09,320 --> 01:41:11,200 Speaker 4: winning basketball, don't show up in a sad I. 2322 01:41:11,160 --> 01:41:13,880 Speaker 2: Think, no, that's completely listen, listen coming. 2323 01:41:14,000 --> 01:41:17,320 Speaker 1: That's why we can't quantify what goes on dog, No, 2324 01:41:17,520 --> 01:41:17,880 Speaker 1: we can't. 2325 01:41:17,960 --> 01:41:19,960 Speaker 3: We can quantify it as saying he is a fine player, 2326 01:41:20,000 --> 01:41:21,560 Speaker 3: he can play my team, but settle down with like 2327 01:41:21,840 --> 01:41:23,680 Speaker 3: making it as if he is just a top you 2328 01:41:23,760 --> 01:41:24,760 Speaker 3: know eight guy in the East. 2329 01:41:24,800 --> 01:41:25,560 Speaker 2: People act like that. 2330 01:41:26,640 --> 01:41:28,680 Speaker 3: Another team that's similar that I want to get to 2331 01:41:28,800 --> 01:41:31,280 Speaker 3: when we come back here, before we get what's trending 2332 01:41:31,800 --> 01:41:34,160 Speaker 3: is the fact that Denver Nuggets have been the number 2333 01:41:34,200 --> 01:41:37,160 Speaker 3: one seed in the West, and yet nobody talks about them. 2334 01:41:37,200 --> 01:41:40,639 Speaker 3: We talked Kings, Warriors, Lakers, Phoenix, Suns, and Denver nother.

But you would say, like, I don't know 2455 01:46:42,600 --> 01:46:43,680 Speaker 3: if I can go to him at crunch time. I 2456 01:46:43,680 --> 01:46:45,080 Speaker 3: don't know if he's making free throws. I don't know 2457 01:46:45,080 --> 01:46:46,960 Speaker 3: if he can make that right decision. And I felt 2458 01:46:47,000 --> 01:46:48,960 Speaker 3: what you were saying, which is why it was one 2459 01:46:49,000 --> 01:46:51,080 Speaker 3: of those things. Still Lebron at that time two three 2460 01:46:51,120 --> 01:46:52,799 Speaker 3: years ago you could say it was the best because 2461 01:46:53,240 --> 01:46:55,439 Speaker 3: he can get it done in a multitude of ways, 2462 01:46:55,640 --> 01:46:57,760 Speaker 3: and you felt comfortable with him having the ball in 2463 01:46:57,840 --> 01:47:00,160 Speaker 3: the Again, I totally got what you were saying. So 2464 01:47:00,600 --> 01:47:03,160 Speaker 3: my point was, at that point, Giannis was a star 2465 01:47:03,280 --> 01:47:06,960 Speaker 3: in the NBA, maybe even a superstar. But you guys, 2466 01:47:07,200 --> 01:47:11,280 Speaker 3: there has to be a distinction between star, superstar and 2467 01:47:11,360 --> 01:47:13,280 Speaker 3: then somebody can just be a really good player. 2468 01:47:14,439 --> 01:47:16,840 Speaker 2: Bam Outabaio is a really good player. Bad Odebaio is 2469 01:47:16,880 --> 01:47:17,400 Speaker 2: not a star. 2470 01:47:17,920 --> 01:47:21,040 Speaker 6: I disagree. I think he's a star, not a superstar. 2471 01:47:21,560 --> 01:47:24,479 Speaker 6: Tyler Hero is a good player. And I'm going on 2472 01:47:24,560 --> 01:47:28,880 Speaker 6: one team, Miami Heat. We got a superstar, star and good. 2473 01:47:29,920 --> 01:47:31,400 Speaker 3: But I'm gonna do that, all right, So I'm gonna 2474 01:47:31,439 --> 01:47:33,240 Speaker 3: rattle off some players because I need to understand maybe 2475 01:47:33,280 --> 01:47:35,880 Speaker 3: I'm wrong, which is, you know, it's possible, not today. 2476 01:47:35,960 --> 01:47:37,599 Speaker 2: But that's all right. 2477 01:47:37,760 --> 01:47:41,760 Speaker 3: YouTube crazy, you two crazies.

Should be reserved for Steph Curry, 2503 01:49:04,160 --> 01:49:08,639 Speaker 3: should be reserved for EMBIID, should be reserved for obviously Lebron. 2504 01:49:08,760 --> 01:49:11,240 Speaker 3: It should be reserved for those types of players. Gi honest, now, 2505 01:49:12,960 --> 01:49:15,640 Speaker 3: it should not be reserved for guys who were star like. 2506 01:49:15,720 --> 01:49:17,519 Speaker 3: You can't be the second maybe third best player in 2507 01:49:17,560 --> 01:49:19,439 Speaker 3: your team and he be a superstar. Make it makes sense, 2508 01:49:19,479 --> 01:49:23,559 Speaker 3: bro Tito Jackson wasn't a superstar. Michael Jackson was a superstar, Okay, 2509 01:49:25,000 --> 01:49:28,000 Speaker 3: justin like it was a star team though. 2510 01:49:28,200 --> 01:49:31,240 Speaker 4: You know that team win a championship last year, right?

Not even further, 2524 01:50:04,040 --> 01:50:07,080 Speaker 3: Draymond Green is the second most important player on that team. 2525 01:50:07,280 --> 01:50:08,960 Speaker 2: I thought it was always Splash brothers. 2526 01:50:09,200 --> 01:50:10,960 Speaker 1: It was Clay and stuff that was the little thing. 2527 01:50:11,160 --> 01:50:13,519 Speaker 6: Yeah, and they had a great season, a couple of 2528 01:50:13,560 --> 01:50:16,479 Speaker 6: seasons together, but then Thompson got hurt and never came 2529 01:50:16,560 --> 01:50:17,040 Speaker 6: back the same. 2530 01:50:17,640 --> 01:50:17,880 Speaker 2: Bruh. 2531 01:50:18,520 --> 01:50:21,040 Speaker 3: Maybe y'all don't understand what a superstar in any in 2532 01:50:21,120 --> 01:50:26,480 Speaker 3: any realm is entertainment, sport, superstars, box office is superstar 2533 01:50:26,760 --> 01:50:31,320 Speaker 3: is singular like that person step is box office, that's Superstar. 2534 01:50:31,400 --> 01:50:33,960 Speaker 2: I'm not debating Steph, I'm not debating. 2535 01:50:33,880 --> 01:50:38,720 Speaker 1: Playf So Okay, Clay's box office, Clay's box.

I've 2622 01:54:08,160 --> 01:54:10,160 Speaker 3: said that too for you, but we might have to 2623 01:54:10,200 --> 01:54:13,519 Speaker 3: settle down in that Larry Bird. Is the more I 2624 01:54:13,600 --> 01:54:15,639 Speaker 3: go back and really looking numbers, more I watch games 2625 01:54:15,680 --> 01:54:17,280 Speaker 3: because sometimes it can't just be numbers because of the 2626 01:54:17,640 --> 01:54:20,040 Speaker 3: era like that you got. This era is putting up 2627 01:54:20,120 --> 01:54:22,240 Speaker 3: way more shots than somebody. 2628 01:54:22,760 --> 01:54:23,120 Speaker 2: Clay's. 2629 01:54:23,280 --> 01:54:24,800 Speaker 3: First of all, I'm not mad if anyone says that, 2630 01:54:24,880 --> 01:54:27,720 Speaker 3: but I know no, Larry Bird, no, no. What I'm 2631 01:54:27,760 --> 01:54:31,240 Speaker 3: just saying is like what didn't Larry Bird do shooting wise? 2632 01:54:31,600 --> 01:54:32,560 Speaker 2: Like what didn't he do? 2633 01:54:33,000 --> 01:54:37,600 Speaker 3: Like he made huge threes, game winners, buckets, mid range fadeaways, 2634 01:54:37,640 --> 01:54:42,520 Speaker 3: wrong leg, right leg, free throws like better defenders on them, 2635 01:54:42,640 --> 01:54:45,080 Speaker 3: weak defenders on them. It didn't matter who, like what 2636 01:54:45,320 --> 01:54:47,680 Speaker 3: more than why Larry Bird being painted? Like why am 2637 01:54:47,720 --> 01:54:49,280 Speaker 3: I not the second best shooter? I'm not even mad 2638 01:54:49,280 --> 01:54:51,040 Speaker 3: at Clay, but I'm making a case for Larry Bird. 2639 01:54:51,240 --> 01:54:56,080 Speaker 4: It was a different era. Klay Thompson hits somebody most impossible, 2640 01:54:56,120 --> 01:54:56,880 Speaker 4: he hits more. 2641 01:54:57,720 --> 01:54:59,840 Speaker 3: Don't say that. Hold on what you're about to say 2642 01:54:59,880 --> 01:55:01,920 Speaker 3: this to sound crazy. This is about what we're about 2643 01:55:01,960 --> 01:55:02,160 Speaker 3: to say. 2644 01:55:02,360 --> 01:55:05,360 Speaker 4: The level of difficulty and three pointer that Clay Thompson 2645 01:55:05,440 --> 01:55:07,120 Speaker 4: hits is tougher than with Larry. 2646 01:55:06,960 --> 01:55:08,920 Speaker 2: Bird hits man Larry Bird about I'm telling you. 2647 01:55:09,040 --> 01:55:11,160 Speaker 4: And I will agree with you. You can probably put 2648 01:55:11,200 --> 01:55:12,760 Speaker 4: that on the fact that he has a different type 2649 01:55:12,800 --> 01:55:13,360 Speaker 4: of green light. 2650 01:55:14,000 --> 01:55:16,520 Speaker 3: But dude, the green light changes everything because to the 2651 01:55:16,600 --> 01:55:19,200 Speaker 3: present day, if you told me one shot for your 2652 01:55:19,280 --> 01:55:22,280 Speaker 3: life on it, I'm taking Reggie Miller over just about anybody, 2653 01:55:22,680 --> 01:55:24,040 Speaker 3: Like I'm Reggie Miller, Like if you're. 2654 01:55:23,960 --> 01:55:28,600 Speaker 1: Taking Clay, I'm right there with Klay Thomps and I'm 2655 01:55:28,640 --> 01:55:29,480 Speaker 1: not mad at Reggie. 2656 01:55:31,120 --> 01:55:33,880 Speaker 2: Listen, there's about six seven names that you can say 2657 01:55:33,920 --> 01:55:34,560 Speaker 2: that I'm not mad at. 2658 01:55:34,560 --> 01:55:36,080 Speaker 3: If you say Clay, if you say Steph, if you 2659 01:55:36,160 --> 01:55:39,000 Speaker 3: say Reggie Maailer, if you say Larry Bird, Kevin Durant. 2660 01:55:39,120 --> 01:55:41,320 Speaker 3: Obviously Jordan, even though threees aren't necessary his sting, but 2661 01:55:41,360 --> 01:55:46,760 Speaker 3: he's still Jordan, Kobe and who Dame Lillard. 2662 01:55:46,800 --> 01:55:49,440 Speaker 2: I'll take it. Yeah, that's those are like the guys. 2663 01:55:49,520 --> 01:55:51,160 Speaker 2: That's it to me. If you start ranching out and 2664 01:55:51,520 --> 01:55:53,920 Speaker 2: getting too creative, Mitch Richmond, I'll. 2665 01:55:53,760 --> 01:55:57,040 Speaker 1: Be like, hold on, DoD is Dame a superstar? Dame who? 2666 01:55:57,320 --> 01:55:58,839 Speaker 2: Now that's a Dame is a superstar? 2667 01:55:59,000 --> 01:55:59,160 Speaker 1: Yes? 2668 01:55:59,240 --> 01:56:03,360 Speaker 3: You because I think because I take that more so seriously, 2669 01:56:03,440 --> 01:56:05,640 Speaker 3: I'll say Dan just got there within in the last 2670 01:56:05,680 --> 01:56:06,440 Speaker 3: couple of seasons. 2671 01:56:06,520 --> 01:56:09,600 Speaker 4: Okay, So I believe in Dame. Dame doesn't have an MVP, 2672 01:56:10,200 --> 01:56:12,880 Speaker 4: Dame doesn't have a championship. The furthest he's been is 2673 01:56:12,960 --> 01:56:16,240 Speaker 4: the Western Conference Finals. He has not had the team 2674 01:56:16,360 --> 01:56:17,600 Speaker 4: assembled around him. 2675 01:56:17,520 --> 01:56:20,440 Speaker 3: And man, I don't know who you are, you HR 2676 01:56:20,720 --> 01:56:22,680 Speaker 3: department hiring people on resumes. 2677 01:56:22,880 --> 01:56:25,360 Speaker 4: Me personally, I feel like if Damian Lillard had the 2678 01:56:25,440 --> 01:56:28,120 Speaker 4: team around him that Steph had, I believe he would 2679 01:56:28,120 --> 01:56:31,520 Speaker 4: have the same, if not very very similar success. And 2680 01:56:31,680 --> 01:56:33,800 Speaker 4: you were all we're both calling him a superstar. But 2681 01:56:33,840 --> 01:56:37,760 Speaker 4: I'm asking you he's a superstar and Klay Thompson is 2682 01:56:37,800 --> 01:56:38,640 Speaker 4: not superstar. 2683 01:56:38,720 --> 01:56:40,400 Speaker 3: I mean, let me give you the definition of superstar 2684 01:56:40,520 --> 01:56:45,840 Speaker 3: superstar is are you yourself a spectacular player with a team, 2685 01:56:46,040 --> 01:56:48,720 Speaker 3: without a team the three or four of us. 2686 01:56:48,680 --> 01:56:49,280 Speaker 1: On the team with you? 2687 01:56:50,360 --> 01:56:52,480 Speaker 3: Are you a house are you become a household name? 2688 01:56:52,800 --> 01:56:55,400 Speaker 3: Can you carry a team? Klay Thompson is an amazing 2689 01:56:55,400 --> 01:56:57,200 Speaker 3: he might you can start to have a conversation. He's 2690 01:56:57,240 --> 01:56:59,960 Speaker 3: the best, you know, one two punch kind of a thing. 2691 01:57:00,680 --> 01:57:03,800 Speaker 3: But the idea that he's simply a superstar, I just 2692 01:57:03,880 --> 01:57:04,560 Speaker 3: don't buy that. 2693 01:57:04,720 --> 01:57:05,640 Speaker 2: He is a star. 2694 01:57:06,000 --> 01:57:07,560 Speaker 3: And he is maybe as close as you can get 2695 01:57:07,600 --> 01:57:09,800 Speaker 3: to be in a superstar without being one. But I 2696 01:57:09,880 --> 01:57:12,320 Speaker 3: don't think he's a star. I don't think he's a superstar. 2697 01:57:12,440 --> 01:57:14,959 Speaker 3: Superstars are individuals themselves. 2698 01:57:15,080 --> 01:57:15,600 Speaker 2: That's just me. 2699 01:57:16,320 --> 01:57:19,640 Speaker 3: But either way, I've thoroughly enjoyed doing the show with you. 2700 01:57:20,080 --> 01:57:22,240 Speaker 3: I will see what folks are saying on Twitter.
