1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,600
Speaker 1: The Lakers are making moves that make this Plasian man

2
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 1: very happy, and Philly has jumped into the Eastern Conference

3
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 1: standings with after a wonderful road trip. The Celtics are

4
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 1: still the league's best team. We knew that. And we'll

5
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 1: get into all of that and plenty more with the

Speaker 1: is and then everybody says sixty minutes over top of

11

Speaker 1: So excited to be here on Mad Boost. That's all Jabari,

19
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: that's all. We're merely He's the conductor. Literally all of

20
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 1: this is scripted. This like this next sentence. Jabari is

21
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,759
Speaker 1: one of the most potent producers in podcasting is my

22
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 1: own personal belief. I don't know, he wrote, I don't know.

23
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 1: I don't know what that means. But more so, let

24
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: me get a little bit of your background. You grew

25
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 1: up in New York. Correct, you're from New York. I

26
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: was born in New York and raising the South Florida

27
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: area and show the country unfortunately, yes, and you are

28
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 1: a Celtics but then you are, but you are a

29
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: Celtics fan. I am a Celtics fan. That is correct.

30
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: What's what's that journey? To take us on that journey?

31
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's it's quite the past. So I

32
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: won't bore you or trying to, you know, give you

33
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: the cliff notes version. But I think, like most basketball fans,

34
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: I was probably a Jordan fan. When I got introduced

35
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: to um So, I was kind of in that space.

36
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: Um So Jabari, you know, super producer. As I know

37
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: you call and would hate this, but I had a

38
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: second favorite team and that second favorite team was kind

39
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: of Boston because of my co host on the baseline,

40
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: he was a big Celtics fan. I think to begin with,

41
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 1: so I was a Jordan guy. Then it was actually

42
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: a big Chris Webber guy and Sacramento. Um, so I'm

43
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: actually always hating the Lakers, um. And then I think

44
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: I really kind of got into the Celtic situation, like

45
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: even just right before even KG got there, so when

46
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: they were struggling in the Anton Walker days and things

47
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,799
Speaker 1: like that as well too. I yeah, I worked for

48
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: the Next for a little while as an intern, and um,

49
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: you know, it was really interesting because I saw Walker

50
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: play and MSG and it was one of those games

51
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: he just like he was just dancing and like like

52
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: he had like forty five points or whatever, and I

53
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, this squad is hot. So I just

54
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: kind of kind of rock up with him from then on.

55
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: And then obviously the guy KG, etceter excetera, etcetera, and

56
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 1: that's Bro I've been ever since. Man. Wow, so he's

57
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: stuck with them even after Ange came and uh yeah, no,

58
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: I'm just playing all right. Yeah. I mean that you

59
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 1: you paid your dues if you were there for the

60
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 1: Antoine Walker era all the way through the you know,

61
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 1: there was some ark years in the desert in between

62
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: that and Drew's arrival, and now they're doing all right.

63
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 1: It seems like they're okay. Yeah, I have a question.

64
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: What was your favorite Chris Weber signature shoe that he

65
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:17,519
Speaker 1: made with dot do? So I would be lying to

66
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: you if I was like, Oh, I was a big

67
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 1: dot dot guy. So you know I couldn't. Anybody can't

68
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: even in front of you on that. I know. They

69
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: had some black joints, um the wood grains, the sea dubs.

70
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: Remember the one that had the spinners in. Oh, no,

71
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: I can't. I can't. I can't rock with those, like

72
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: I can't do it. Yeah, you don't, man, he only

73
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 1: had wood grain. This one had wood grain. Jack that

74
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: is live though, yeah live. He was a dot dot guy.

75
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: He started off Nike. No, no, he was with Nike

76
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: first and then but then like they gave him a

77
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: they gave him with a sea dub like du a

78
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: deep cut though. I'm a I'm a big sneaker. I'm

79
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: a big sneaker head. And I just remember these were

80
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: like such unique moments because I remember in like reading

81
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: Slam magazine, I'm like, wow, I really did a full

82
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: page ad for this shoe that has wood cream on it. Famously,

83
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: Webber met with some Nike executives about re upping and

84
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: they pronounced his name tris uh Weber. And that's the

85
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: that's of course the backstory of how Steph ended up

86
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:26,599
Speaker 1: with Uh. Yes, that they were like, hey, Stephen, we're

87
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: big things Nike said that. He was like, oh cool,

88
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 1: so not signing with you guys. This is a Nike

89
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,159
Speaker 1: documentary coming out like on Amazon right now or soon.

90
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: I just saw a bunch of stuff on that too.

91
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: I'm trying to figure out like how deep they're going

92
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: to go and are they like trash and Niking that

93
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 1: do we know? Or kind of like what's the situation

94
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 1: for that. I mean, I think any global brand is

95
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 1: going to have its dark sides to it, so yeah,

96
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,239
Speaker 1: I'm sure. I mean, it's it's a monolith at this point,

97
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: but I disagree. I actually only trust a documentary that

98
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: has made with the cooperation of the global brand that

99
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 1: it's about at another truth. Thank you. Here's the thing, Stefan,

100
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,719
Speaker 1: we want to here's the thing, Stevens. If we want, Hey,

101
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 1: we want to do an ad with it's you and

102
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: you're long lost relative with the same last name, Marie Curie,

103
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: and we think that's going to be just a fantastic

104
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: conversation between past and president. But anyway, um, we digress.

105
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,280
Speaker 1: The Celtics, yes, yes, yes, the best record in the

106
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: league right now, nine straight before the loss of the Magic.

107
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 1: I have a serious question for you, So who are

108
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 1: you more afraid of facing in a seven game series,

109
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:38,160
Speaker 1: the streaking, the surging Philadelphia seventy six or short now

110
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: in second or the Orlando Magic, who really seem to

111
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 1: have your number according to Magic fan. So I'm not

112
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,159
Speaker 1: even gonna front with you, honestly, So taking to a

113
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 1: serious basketball conversation, Boston struggles with size, and that's really

114
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 1: what it boils down to. Orlando was kind of big

115
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: at every position, so to speak. And those are things

116
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 1: like Chicago beat us, you know, be us twice as

117
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 1: well too. Um, you know, they have a lot of

118
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: size and pretty much you know, one through five for

119
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 1: the most part, and that's really where Boston hasn't really

120
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: been able to figure some of those things out. So, Um,

121
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: while Philadelphia is obviously more talented team than Orlando, for

122
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: whatever reason, I would be definitely afraid of the Magic.

123
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 1: I think at this stage, especially with Jonathan Isay coming back,

124
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: he look good in the little ten minutes he played.

125
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 1: And you know what they've been doing with Boncio and

126
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: obviously Folds and anybody else will too. Like it's yeah,

127
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: it's wild. Like I said, they just some teams just

128
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: have your number, like you alluded to. And I think

129
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 1: that's where it is with Orlando and Boston. For so

130
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,039
Speaker 1: you would rather face the seventy sixers then or later.

131
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: I just want to like make sure that I get

132
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 1: it crystal clear for the bulletin board material for because yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

133
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: let's go. I'd rather I'd rather face the seventies sixers. Yeah,

134
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 1: and Warren did just make the little man sign with

135
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 1: his hand about and be uh too small, too small,

136
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: too small. Um, it is wild though, Yeah, the Celtics

137
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: definitely have the seventy sixers number, like even even though

138
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: beat as a big man and you know, pretty big team. Yeah.

139
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,599
Speaker 1: But the thing that I just love is with the

140
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 1: magic the energy of the magic fans or like the

141
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: Celtics are over, you know what I mean. The Warriors

142
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: we cooked them, Okay, the Celtics mostly was it. I

143
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: think three and one as a record, they're like we

144
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 1: we're through, We're through. Uh, and I just love that

145
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 1: excitement that happens from like those those like like those

146
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: winds of great emotional value to a fandom without it

147
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: actually maybe reflecting, you know, because the playoffs is obviously

148
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: a completely different, uh proposition. But you know, shout out

149
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: to my fans over there in Orlando, were getting very excited.

150
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: Can can I just say this one thing? So I

151
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: think as when you take your your fandom, so to speak,

152
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 1: there's times where it's like, listen, I need to stay

153
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: the f off of Twitter, off of Instagram because people

154
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: are just they've lost their complete minds. And I think

155
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 1: it was like Basketball Forever or some aggregate account whatever

156
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: put that exact same thing that you said, Miles, you know,

157
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: the Orlando magic with the championship East did like, you know,

158
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 1: Wagner and bon Caro and Curry and Clay and and

159
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: Tatum and Brown and your heads like an in deference

160
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 1: to them, I was like, what do we do? You know,

161
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: as a Laker fan, We're only like, watch if we

162
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: beat the Clippers tonight, the memes are going to be ridiculous.

163
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 1: We're holding onto ashes at the moment, So we'll we'll,

164
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 1: we'll find a way to make that nourish our souls. Yeah,

165
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 1: as I just said, and yet plan the parade even

166
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 1: at the All Star break. But Miles, I do I

167
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: do have to ask you. You're a fan of Ruey,

168
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: You're a fan of the Lakers. Two great loves of

169
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: viewers have come together. As Los Angeles is most famous

170
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 1: black and these person I have to say, I would

171
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: like to welcome my brother Okay to the Lake show.

172
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 1: Uh you know, I met him and I pretended to

173
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 1: say come to the Lakers, but instead I just said,

174
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 1: it's really nice to meet um. Wow, you're talk like

175
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: whoa no way? And I did the thing was like,

176
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: hold on, let's see go back to back and I'll

177
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 1: just put my hands straight up. But I mean, I'm

178
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 1: I'm excited about it, you know. The sentimentality aside. I

179
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:17,599
Speaker 1: just I think as a player, I think there's a

180
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 1: good environment to go into because Ruey is like he listens,

181
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: he doesn't have an ego, like he will absorb the

182
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: wisdom that is collectively around him at the Lakers, and

183
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 1: I think that will only help him. And Jabarri and

184
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: I were talking before the show whether or not that means,

185
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 1: you know, what the what the heights were going to

186
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: reach I think our t b D But I definitely

187
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 1: have a good feeling about it because at the end

188
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,439
Speaker 1: of the day, he's not another guard. Okay, it's not

189
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 1: another guard. He is a big man who can shoot.

190
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: He's an analytics guy. Like the analytics people seem to

191
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 1: enjoy his work. So I'm happy because I am. I have,

192
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 1: like through osmosis, through spent a lot of time talking

193
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: to NBA with you and superroducer Jabari. I am now

194
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 1: I checked this six or score first, Lakers next. Yeah,

195
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 1: I am poor and obviously lifelong Lebron lover. Uh yeah,

196
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:16,199
Speaker 1: Warren Lebron. What do you think that though he's as

197
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 1: like the super an ass to say he's very good

198
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: at basketball, yea. I think the ruly thing though, is

199
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,199
Speaker 1: is super dope for them um as you alluded to,

200
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 1: you know, shooting I love for you, like thirty four

201
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 1: percent from the people are not not necessarily in volume,

202
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: But I think just a change of scenery is gonna

203
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: be helpful for him from being in Washington. You know,

204
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,959
Speaker 1: they got a diva and and obviously COO's came as

205
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 1: well too, and he ended up just kind of not

206
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 1: really getting to the opportunities that he wanted to get,

207
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 1: you know, his last game of watching you put up

208
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:43,439
Speaker 1: a thirty piece, right, So I think the Lakers like, yeah,

209
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: sign me up, and you know what I mean, get

210
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,079
Speaker 1: get cattured one all the way hell up out here,

211
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:48,599
Speaker 1: you know for a couple of second rounders. Was it

212
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: three second rounders? And I think that the Ruy Ruey

213
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 1: situation in l a will be actually really really great,

214
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: especially with a d coming back. Um, I'm excited for

215
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: you all, I really am. I think it's a nice

216
00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 1: move and you can read up on him and see

217
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: where he takes you in the future. So yeah, solid

218
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 1: moved by Lakers. There was a there was a quote

219
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 1: from Donte Sabonis who was saying, like when they were

220
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 1: at the Staples Center when they were Gonzaga, like like

221
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 1: when he was like, this is where I want to play,

222
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:14,680
Speaker 1: He's like I feel a connection here and he said

223
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 1: that like many years ago. So there's part of me

224
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 1: that like, I just like the energy around it. And

225
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: I think also just culturally, like Japanese people, there's a

226
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:24,839
Speaker 1: huge respect for your elders and people who have more

227
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 1: knowledge than you. Like. There are a few clips circulating

228
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: from when him and Russ were playing on the Wizards,

229
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 1: of like Russ really trying to like coach him with

230
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 1: some certain things like in the post, and he's like

231
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,079
Speaker 1: and you could tell the way he's like he's like listening,

232
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 1: He's not like yea, all right, man, like like it's

233
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 1: time to play. So I think all that combined with

234
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 1: the amount of like collective like wisdom that is there,

235
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 1: I think it's just gonna be just fantastic. So but again,

236
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 1: we'll see, we'll see if the will and the talent

237
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: all combined at the right moment. They're they're basically Washington

238
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 1: Wizards West not right, and don't they have like four

239
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 1: formal Wizards team now? After get in Rood past guest

240
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 1: Tray Kirby tweeted a meme of like Nathan Fielder from

241
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 1: Nathan for You, and he said the plan if Lebron

242
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: James can win an NBA championship with Wizards. So yeah,

243
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 1: maybe that's where it's head. Yeah, it'll be It'll be

244
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: cool anytime somebody joins the Lebron James team. They're joining

245
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: you know, they they have the opportunity to learn from

246
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 1: the best basketball mind to ever do it. I think

247
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: so will be interesting. I will be watching everybody, so

248
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 1: you know, keep that in mind. Anymore moves. I know

249
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 1: super producer Jabari. I can trust him on a lot

250
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 1: of basketball things. One thing I don't know if I

251
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: can trust him on is potential Lakers trades because the

252
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: hope springs eternal. Um, but he's got some things out here. Uh,

253
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 1: you know, Bogdan Bogdanovich. Uh. You know. Still there's still

254
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 1: us of the Pacers trade bringing Miles Turner and Buddy Healed,

255
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,559
Speaker 1: And that's the only one that really feels like it

256
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: moves the needle to me for the Lakers because you

257
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 1: get another defensive stopper and uh, a laser as. I

258
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 1: will only refer to Lakers shooters as because Lebron osen

259
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:18,839
Speaker 1: this season by saying, not a lot of lasers out there.

260
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 1: Um yeah, but some more like a rave, but we

261
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: don't have them. Yeah, I don't know. It seems like

262
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:27,439
Speaker 1: those are the things you need the most helping is

263
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 1: shooting and defense, which are important parts of basketball in

264
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:38,199
Speaker 1: my opinion. Yeah, I agree. And you know, if he

265
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: was asking earlier, what you know, what do the Lakers

266
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,719
Speaker 1: need to solidify this roster? I think it's a time

267
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 1: machine to make that move a little bit earlier. But okay,

268
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: I'll deal with it. Oh just a side note for

269
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:50,839
Speaker 1: all the Laker fans out there, did you see the

270
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: McDonald's All Americans and it was it was Pages Pages

271
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 1: to Yakovitch's kid is also in there with like Brawnie. Yeah.

272
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 1: I was just like wow, Pages, So okay, like this again,

273
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 1: this is when he's name mentioned ever? Yeah, yeah, Pages,

274
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:12,439
Speaker 1: attention Stoyakovitch bomb and three um one of my favorite

275
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:16,439
Speaker 1: sports center calls. Um. Also, Jabari had changed it so

276
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 1: that it's actually Bojan Bogdanovich, not bogged On. But he

277
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 1: when I started saying that you can't trust Jabari about

278
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: about Lakers things, he's uh sabotaged me in the dock

279
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: and changed the name. So it was wrong, but I

280
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 1: caught it all good. We can move forward any other

281
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: big trades. You guys are kind of keeping an eye on,

282
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 1: not me personally. I'm once I saw my my fellow

283
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: black and ees man, I was like, okay, I'm gonna

284
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 1: take a breath a second, but yeah, Warren, what are

285
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: you looking at with the with the deadline coming up?

286
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 1: All right? Well, with the deadline, you know, I'll keep

287
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 1: it Laker specific really quickly. If they find a way

288
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 1: to get the Turner situation done, then that really thrust

289
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 1: them back into the Western Conference conversation like tremendously. That

290
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 1: that defensive president, that and the guy who could shoot

291
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 1: the three, assuming you're not giving up Thomas Bryan or

292
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 1: whatever it is as well to you know, to kind

293
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 1: of solidify that bench, then you're really really really great there.

294
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: I think the biggest name I would imagine to be

295
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 1: moved is probably Bogdanovitch from Detroit. They did such a

296
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 1: smart thing by acquiring him from a bagage just from Utah.

297
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 1: I have no idea why Age just kind of gave

298
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 1: him up just to get his you know, his old

299
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 1: his old friend Kelly old Nick back over in Utah.

300
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 1: They immediately signed Bogdanovits to a two year deal, so

301
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 1: now any acquiring team doesn't have to be hey, where

302
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 1: he's a rental. They know they can at least keep

303
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: him on for another two years that are are decent

304
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 1: and affordable salary. A guy who can give you a

305
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 1: twenty game, plays decent enough defense, and it's really really

306
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 1: helpful usually stay as healthy as well too. I think

307
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 1: he's probably the biggest name that actually does get moved.

308
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 1: The other names John Collins. They've been talking about moving

309
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 1: him for you know, four years now, it seems like

310
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 1: so if that were to happen, i'd, you know, it'd

311
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 1: be be kind of surprised. And the other big name

312
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 1: is actually another name from Washington's Kyle Kuzma, And I

313
00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,040
Speaker 1: just don't know who has the assets to kind to

314
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 1: make that happen. I love to see Dallas maybe try

315
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 1: to make that happen for them, so so to speak, um,

316
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 1: I think he'd be great alongside Luca and even Christian

317
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 1: Wood at the center position. But I think every all

318
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 1: the other moves out there are going to be minor tweaks,

319
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 1: uh that that I've heard and kind of the rumors

320
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 1: that I've been seeing out there as well too. But

321
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 1: those are the three biggest names that I can see

322
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 1: potentially getting moved this deadline. Does Kuzma have too much

323
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 1: swag for the city of Dallas a question that's been asked.

324
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not asking it because I wouldn't wanna

325
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 1: antagonize the city of Dallas. It's gone bad for Catholics

326
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 1: before they say his drip is deadly so what better

327
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 1: place than to be in Daly Plaza. Yeah, that could

328
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 1: be a big vibe, but really good. I don't know what. Yeah,

329
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: he's you know, he's he's uh, he's very fashionable. And

330
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 1: I mean I'll never forget that one outfit with the

331
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 1: really long sleeves. How could you and then head out

332
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 1: of it? Yes, I'll never that will always just be like, wow,

333
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 1: did his eyebrows at one point like go with the

334
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 1: bleached cybrows? I feel like he did. I think he

335
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 1: plattied out the whole face, like he's got that, he's

336
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 1: got that in his bag. Man, we're such in a

337
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 1: weird place and I think society now where I think

338
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 1: almost anything is acceptable. So that sweater was it was ridiculous,

339
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 1: so the top, but some people like, yo, that's so swag,

340
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 1: you know. I was like, is it though? Really like

341
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,679
Speaker 1: we're just gonna accept anything now? Yeah? I rest my case. Bro,

342
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 1: it's it's it's all good. You don't want to wear

343
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 1: like a gigantic overside coojie sweater like was I feel

344
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 1: like the nip of that thing and you look like

345
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 1: a nightmare from like beetlejuice or something, you know what

346
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: I mean? Like I get, like, you know, I get

347
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,640
Speaker 1: the one dimension of like, whoa, that's a fashion, that's

348
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 1: a move, that's something different. It's just so hard to

349
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: see how that's functional, you know what I mean. Like

350
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 1: it's like, well, where your hands and head heavy, just heavy,

351
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 1: and it's like you can't you can't eat it. You

352
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 1: can't eat a chili dog with that sweater on. And

353
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 1: that's the way I look at it. Some it has

354
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,400
Speaker 1: to be some function. But again, you can slap somebody

355
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 1: across the room, though, I guess you have the chili

356
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 1: dog fed to you because that's how hard you flex

357
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,639
Speaker 1: me on every um. All right. The Wemby race is

358
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: getting interesting. Houston had lost thirteen straight before beating the

359
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 1: Wolves on Monday, so they were they were eleven and

360
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 1: twenty three and then lost thirteen in a row or

361
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:23,399
Speaker 1: maybe it was ten and twenty three, ten and thirty

362
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 1: six and then they beat the Wolves. But pretty pretty impressive.

363
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: Pretty feel like, yeah, I feel like it could be

364
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 1: could be an interesting place for him. The Spurs to

365
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 1: and eight over the last ten, fourteen and thirty three

366
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 1: overall Pistons we we've always their support for in the past.

367
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 1: That would be a fun team to see him. But

368
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just I'm rooting for the city

369
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 1: of Detroit in general. So even though I hear that,

370
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,919
Speaker 1: you know the the Great Lakes hair because like its

371
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 1: own thing. Yeah, I mean, they do have that built

372
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 1: in advantage that you live near the Great Lakes, you

373
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 1: have a strong hairline. Yeah, so I'll go, I'll go

374
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 1: just for that, just for that. What's that Robevic the

375
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,439
Speaker 1: oh yeah of Illinois, the governor of Illinois, The governor

376
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: of Illinois. Yeah, yeah, Lego, yeah, Lego. Many appreciate absolutely

377
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: shout out the Lego man hairlines out there. Um, how

378
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: how are you feeling warring? Like is there? Do you

379
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 1: have any sentimental feelings about where you'd like to see

380
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: when Binyama go or you're just kind of like whatever,

381
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 1: we'll see what, we'll see where it goes. No, I

382
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 1: I love to see him to Charlotte. Actually, Wow, the

383
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 1: hornets are unintentionally like they didn't know they were going

384
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: to be this bad. But I think now that you

385
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 1: this is now your reality. You go all in, so

386
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 1: trade Deadline, you try to get rid of Fobre, you

387
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,119
Speaker 1: try to get Gordon Hayward, maybe keep PJ Washington or

388
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 1: whatever the case and be plumbly, etcetera, etcetera. And you say, nah,

389
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 1: Ball has been hurt most of the season, ankle, whatever, whatever.

390
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 1: Imagine pairing him alongside you know, eNB next year, Like

391
00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 1: that's that's all the vibes. So I think now that

392
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 1: Charlotte is at this stage, you know what, let's go

393
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 1: all in and see if we can make that happen,

394
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,120
Speaker 1: because that could be apparent in the duo that could

395
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 1: really be one of the more amazing ones in the

396
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 1: NBA for years to come. In While Houston and Detroit

397
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 1: or all those things, like I think those are great fits,

398
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:15,440
Speaker 1: San Antonio is the one place I'd hate to see

399
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 1: him go, which is kind of boring for me. You know,

400
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 1: that's probably what will end up at it, right, um,

401
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 1: but I think Charlotte would be the most exciting for

402
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 1: the short term and long term future of the NBA.

403
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 1: That is gonna be wild. Like the lottery this year

404
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:33,160
Speaker 1: is going to be just appointment television. Like I'm going

405
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,159
Speaker 1: to be glued to that like I usually am, but

406
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 1: like this is, I'm gonna be nervous before that. Even

407
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 1: though I don't like you know, the Sixers, you know,

408
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,440
Speaker 1: the Lakers aren't gonna really have a chance at it,

409
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: but just like this is gonna dictate the future the

410
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 1: next you know, however years the Hornets, I'm on board

411
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 1: if they just go full all branding, all uniform design,

412
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:03,640
Speaker 1: everything is that early nineties Hornets look okay? Yeah, yeah, yeah,

413
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 1: that would be a lot of fun. And then yeah,

414
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 1: LaMelo is one of the most fun players to watch

415
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,719
Speaker 1: in the league. So and then like a Muggsy Bogs

416
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,719
Speaker 1: type guy just for good measure, yeah, you know, I mean,

417
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 1: just like just to fill out the visual landscape of

418
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:17,679
Speaker 1: that roster. I would love to see Wemby. And then

419
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 1: like also the short like you gotta have the biggest

420
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 1: dude and the shortest dude on the team too. I

421
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 1: would just for the media day ops, I feel you, Abo,

422
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:27,200
Speaker 1: And then you can get rid of you know, just

423
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 1: bring Muggsy Bogs back on like a two day contract

424
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 1: or something for media day, just for the just for

425
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: the lolls, okay, Michael, and still like put up thirteen assists. Yeah,

426
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 1: all right, let's take a quick break and we'll come

427
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 1: back and talk about some great performances from the week.

428
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:56,159
Speaker 1: And we're back. We are, and this is the segment

429
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:59,880
Speaker 1: where we highlight some big time performances over the past week.

430
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 1: I don't know where do we want to start. Jalen

431
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 1: Green put up a career high forty four and a

432
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 1: win over the Wolves, breaking that thirteen game losing streak.

433
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,400
Speaker 1: That was a lot of fun. One of the most

434
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,880
Speaker 1: exciting finishers to come along in a in a while.

435
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,960
Speaker 1: Super fast, super just a lot of fun, super dangerous

436
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 1: coming going at the rack. Also, he had like this

437
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 1: one fade away, like fading to his left. Uh just

438
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,679
Speaker 1: rainbow just one of one of the highest arcing shots

439
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,119
Speaker 1: that I've seen where it was like, did that happen

440
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 1: on purpose? But I mean it dropped through the center

441
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 1: of the rim. But I feel like I've been seeing

442
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 1: a little bit more of that, like the real the

443
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 1: rainbow shot might be making a comeback. We'll see. I'd

444
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:45,639
Speaker 1: like to see that. Yeah, Look, it's always good to

445
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 1: see my fellow Blazons out there achieving. By the way,

446
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 1: we got to talk about the thunder Shay with thirty

447
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 1: four or five and five in a game winner and

448
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:01,359
Speaker 1: a win over the Nuggets. Okay, so he's just behind

449
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 1: Golden State and a play an opportunity. That's the question

450
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 1: I have about the Lakers when I look at the

451
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 1: West standings. You know, I think a lot of people

452
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 1: have made the comment that like the top five six

453
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 1: in the East looks really dangerous compared to the top

454
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 1: five in the in the West. I don't know if

455
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:24,879
Speaker 1: I agree with that, but the West is just like, so,

456
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:28,440
Speaker 1: who who do you replace in this playoff race? If

457
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 1: if things come together, if Ruy like really starts contributing,

458
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:36,200
Speaker 1: you got to replace the Warriors, the Timberwolves, the Sons,

459
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 1: the Jazz, like I can see, you know, the Clippers,

460
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 1: the MAVs, the Pelicans, the Kings, the Grizzlies, and the Nuggets.

461
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 1: The Kings are in third place right now by themselves.

462
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 1: I love to see it. Somehow, I don't have no will,

463
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 1: you know. Even even they were even saying screaming light

464
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 1: the beam in l A and I was like the

465
00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: tear went down my face and I was like, go ahead,

466
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 1: but even okay, right now, yeah, they seem like they're

467
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 1: coming on. I was watching or saw something on Instagram

468
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:10,640
Speaker 1: earlier today as well too, you know, you know, because

469
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,680
Speaker 1: I can't help myself, I guess, and somebody had put like, okay,

470
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:15,199
Speaker 1: see in their top ten, and I was like, all right,

471
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:17,920
Speaker 1: in top ten the NBA there were number ten, and

472
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,440
Speaker 1: I was like, you've you've gone too far. But this

473
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 1: is the nice season, right, like it really is. It

474
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 1: really is great to see what they've done, especially without

475
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:29,439
Speaker 1: chat SoC having like this magical season definitely has got

476
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 1: to be an All Star. But you're just kind of

477
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 1: figuring out, was is this the plan for them? Like

478
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 1: will Charlotte didn't expect to be as bad? Did okay

479
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:38,879
Speaker 1: see it? Expect to be this good at any capacity?

480
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,639
Speaker 1: And now that they're here, did you just say screw it,

481
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 1: let's go for it and try to get in, you know,

482
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,680
Speaker 1: because they are clearly too far removed from the Wemby

483
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,119
Speaker 1: sweepstakes for at this point. Now let's they're just kind

484
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 1: of lose every single single game. But it's it's been

485
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 1: a magical season for for the Oklahoma City Thunder, and

486
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 1: I just I love to see it. And I went

487
00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:58,879
Speaker 1: to the season saying, at least I hope they stopped tanking.

488
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 1: I really, I really did, because I felt like, you know,

489
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:02,919
Speaker 1: they have they have enough pieces and they have enough

490
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:04,879
Speaker 1: draft equity as well too. That's gonna last time a

491
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:06,920
Speaker 1: lifetime and they get check back next year too, Like

492
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 1: this is really gonna be a formable team. So, um,

493
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 1: with the Sun's not being as great as we thought

494
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:13,439
Speaker 1: they were going to be, the timber Wolves not being

495
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 1: as great as they're gonna be that we thought they

496
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 1: were going to be, there's a chance. Okay, so he

497
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:18,159
Speaker 1: can get into plane and that would just be one

498
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:21,920
Speaker 1: of the wildest, wildest stories I think of this NBA season. Yeah,

499
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,360
Speaker 1: I don't. It's it's really interesting because I've just been

500
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: kind of assuming the Warriors are gonna end up in

501
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 1: like top four, but like that doesn't look like that's

502
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:33,200
Speaker 1: happening at least, like they still don't seem to be

503
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,920
Speaker 1: able to like fully put it together, you know, any

504
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:40,440
Speaker 1: anything consistent. The Wolves still kind of going back and

505
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:44,119
Speaker 1: forth struggling the Sun's. I feel like the Sons and

506
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 1: the Jazz are probably the most catchable maybe the Wolves

507
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:51,399
Speaker 1: Wolves in there. Um, but that's still just puts you

508
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 1: in the play in you know exactly. I think I

509
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,400
Speaker 1: think with the Wolves, you're right though, um, because cat

510
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 1: he came out and said, I think a week or

511
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,639
Speaker 1: so ago to like, yeah, there was no there's not

512
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 1: a chance in hell. I was gonna be back in January.

513
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 1: So with even that kind of in so and the

514
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 1: Gobert fitting has been weird, you just don't know if

515
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 1: that's going to be something that they're gonna be able

516
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:14,439
Speaker 1: to hold on and mean two and then build a chemistry.

517
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:16,159
Speaker 1: I told my co host on the baseline, Yeah, the

518
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:18,120
Speaker 1: dance to listen, they just had. They had so much

519
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 1: roster turnover that it was kind of fool hardy for

520
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 1: them to expect them just to ascend to a top four. See,

521
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,399
Speaker 1: there was just too many things that needed to blend together.

522
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 1: Now you throw injury on top of it, they do

523
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 1: become extremely I think he was just super producer. Gavard say,

524
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 1: they're one of the more catchable teams out there, and Utah,

525
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:35,399
Speaker 1: they're still not settled and what they want to do.

526
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,360
Speaker 1: They maybe they may be sellers at the deadline. While

527
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 1: marking In is my most improved player I think of

528
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 1: the of the NBA season. Um, I didn't see him

529
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 1: averaging nine like, not a chance in hell. And I'm

530
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 1: really proud to see that he's he's been hooping in

531
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 1: the way that he is. But they ain't just not

532
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 1: gonna let this fly. Connie Clarkson and guys like that

533
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 1: to you're probably not going to finish in the year

534
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 1: on that team. Interesting. Lebron did it again, continues to

535
00:26:57,840 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 1: do it father Time, looking like it might be a

536
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 1: good nickname for him. Uh. He's almost averaging a game

537
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:13,359
Speaker 1: right now this season on the season, I don't know, man,

538
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:16,160
Speaker 1: watching that Blazers game, like I see it, I see

539
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 1: a twenty five point deficit. I was like, all right,

540
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 1: let's see you guys tomorrow on the funny pages. Uh.

541
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:24,919
Speaker 1: And it was such a I had to end up

542
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 1: like I tuned out. But a few people text me

543
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 1: like it's it's actually that's something's happening. Uh. And I

544
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,120
Speaker 1: missed it, but I watched the highlights and just watching, man,

545
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 1: it's the I just loved towards the end of the game,

546
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:41,639
Speaker 1: Lebron just headhunting Damian Lillard and just kind of getting

547
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 1: back to like, you know what, I'm still I'm feeling

548
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,200
Speaker 1: a little. I feel like I got some fuel in

549
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:47,399
Speaker 1: the tank to still head on downhill and get to

550
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 1: the rim off of Damien. I just it wasn't I'm

551
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,160
Speaker 1: just I'm glad to see that he's still like he's

552
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 1: just operating at such a high level that everybody's just like,

553
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 1: what are we how do we analyze this? What do

554
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,680
Speaker 1: we say about this? Because it's not ending. It doesn't

555
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,119
Speaker 1: seem to have occurred to him that he wouldn't have

556
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 1: fuel in the tank, you know, like it's just I mean,

557
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:08,680
Speaker 1: I guess that's not true because he's like one of

558
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 1: the best that like resting while playing, you know, resting,

559
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 1: but he's yeah, he's so good at it. But yeah,

560
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:19,440
Speaker 1: this is what he was expecting would be happening at

561
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:21,959
Speaker 1: this point. What either if you bet against him at

562
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,479
Speaker 1: like age forty s will be like a per game,

563
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 1: would you. I mean yeah, like it's hard to even

564
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 1: remember like three, like when he signed with the Lakers,

565
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 1: are like, well, let's see, let's see how many more

566
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,920
Speaker 1: years he's got. Yeah, you know, we're like, oh no,

567
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 1: so yeah, in a way, like there's more. The fool's

568
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 1: bet would be to bet against him at this point,

569
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 1: especially when you're looking at the data set you have

570
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 1: of him up to the age thirty eight, Like yeah,

571
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 1: I mean, barring some kind of injury, which doesn't you know, yeah,

572
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 1: then he will play with his son probably. It's amazing,

573
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 1: it really is. It's amazing and that the Barie Smith thing.

574
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 1: You know, hey, you play with my dad, Like for

575
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 1: he's going to see a couple more sun is coming

576
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 1: to the league, including his own crazy Yeah. Yeah, he's

577
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 1: gonna be like telling Pages Stoyakovitch his son. He's like, oh, yeah,

578
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 1: I had I had something for your dad too wild

579
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 1: and You're like, wow, okay. I feel like, well, I'm

580
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 1: looking forward to when he retires because you know, unlike

581
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, I feel like he wouldn't tell us what

582
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 1: the Lebron diet is. That's keeping him, you know, what

583
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 1: what his workout is. But maybe maybe once he's retired

584
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 1: he started sharing it with us. But whatever his equivalent

585
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 1: of TV twelve taco taco, I need to know what

586
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 1: he's eating and what does his workout routine is. And

587
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 1: I'm in taco chicken soft tacos. That's about it. Sometimes

588
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 1: I go bold to get it with the fries inside. Yeah.

589
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 1: Just some some great performances like Evan Mobley. I've been

590
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 1: waiting for him to like go off to see what

591
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 1: his game might look like one day when he's got

592
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 1: his offensive fundamentals and place. Uh. He put up thirty

593
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 1: eight against the Bucks Um looking really good. Maxie had

594
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 1: the Keys against the Kings. He put up a thirty

595
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 1: two and six against the Kings in a in a

596
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:16,240
Speaker 1: road win for the Sixers without Embiid and Harden, which

597
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 1: was pretty cool to see one points down. Yeah, came

598
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 1: back from twenty one points down. Uh, and then the

599
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 1: ant man came with forty four six and four versus

600
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 1: the Rockets. And this brings us to our best and

601
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 1: worst business decision of the week. Some real business decisions

602
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 1: were made. We also have to go back in December

603
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 1: to analyze another poor business decision or great business decision.

604
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 1: But who would you like to start with? Mr Anthony Edwards?

605
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 1: He uh, he dunked on al Shanon in a way

606
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 1: that seemed premeditated. Um, I think I think it would

607

616
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:32,040

00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 1: and just pushed up a little bit because you see

618
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 1: like the start of his jump, he's jumping from like

619
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 1: inside the circle, like under the free throw line, and

620
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 1: then just like kind of grabs him and like pushes

621
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 1: a little bit. Uh, and then violence Ensu's Yeah, it's

622
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:51,120

Speaker 1: was with both hands, and it just seemed, um yeah,

627
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 1: it was just like he was like, oh, I now

628

Speaker 1: recognized that this man is not functionally. This man is

629

Speaker 1: not here, so I can just do this. I can

630
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:19,440

00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 1: go up possibly injure yourself terribly. We'll just see how

658
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:11,280
Speaker 1: this one played out. Didn't come down and oh shamon

659
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:16,239
Speaker 1: sham it. You could have got real hurt there and

660
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:20,440
Speaker 1: are like calling that and off that's there, but they didn't.

661
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 1: It ended up counting. Yeah, they got challenged and reversed.

662
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:29,400
Speaker 1: My man, he got dunked on then landed on twice

663
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 1: somehow like a wrestling move, like off the top roof.

664
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 1: That was just like whole colden leg dropped him or

665
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:37,360
Speaker 1: that was wow. I mean, look at the way he

666
00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:39,719
Speaker 1: tries it. He tries to absorb this. He's like, you

667
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 1: know what this is screen, But the way his spine

668
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:45,279
Speaker 1: curves when it makes contact with Aaron God, I thought

669
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:47,719
Speaker 1: he was high jumping right here. The way he's arching

670
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 1: that back is yeah, he is horizontal to the court.

671
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:58,800
Speaker 1: Then on the way down his head is right underneath

672
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 1: Aaron Gordon's feet, where like he could have arrently just

673
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:05,320
Speaker 1: landed and I used that pun very intentionally, uh like

674
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 1: straight on man's skull. But you're like, luckily was like,

675
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 1: oh gosh, he's like a young man. You gotta be careful. Man.

676
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 1: When I go up like that, I could have really

677
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 1: hurt you. It's a poor business decision. He had to

678
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:18,759
Speaker 1: do it right. So the context of the game is

679
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 1: there's less than have been the left over time. There's

680
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 1: mere seconds cham it had just missed a shot down one.

681
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:29,880
Speaker 1: Then he comes down and it's a breakaway. You have

682
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:32,279
Speaker 1: to put your body on the line. What we are

683
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:36,360
Speaker 1: looking for from our candidate for the NBA Award of

00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 1: We're out, Like you know, that would have been the

687
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:53,279
Speaker 1: ultimate business decision. Games on the line and he's like,

688
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:55,719
Speaker 1: I mean he's gonna dunk on me. I don't I

689
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:58,520
Speaker 1: don't want that. So do you want them to run

690
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 1: away or is it when they jump in their like no,

691
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:03,719
Speaker 1: when they kind of just turned and what is more?

692
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 1: What would be more like I guess you know you'll

693
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 1: know when you see the the ultimate business decision, Like

694

Speaker 1: the Supreme Court says, what do you think is it?

695
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 1: Is it just a back turn to be like no,

696
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:18,960
Speaker 1: I never I never wanted a part of this, or

697
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:23,320
Speaker 1: is it a full on vacating the premises. I'm not theatricality,

698
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 1: Like if they build an excuse in where they like

699
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:29,160

00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:46,480
Speaker 1: you want to go first, or you can go first?

759
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:50,960
Speaker 1: Here we go, Here we go, Warren Shaw tell me

760
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:53,759
Speaker 1: this is Jalen Rose's hairline too good to be true?

761
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:58,800
Speaker 1: Uh you said people from that area keep good hairlines,

762
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:00,279
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna say it's not too good to be true.

763
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:02,359
Speaker 1: He's he's he's keeping a rocket. He's good, he's good money.

764
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:05,360
Speaker 1: It's like that is Lego man here. Though he got

765
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:07,920
Speaker 1: Lego man here. That hairline is Lego man. Yeah, I

766
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:12,879
Speaker 1: gotta get best hair in the current NBA. I'm gonna

767
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 1: go with my guy, Jayson Tatum. Oh, come on, he

768
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:19,879
Speaker 1: does have I have noticed that though he has very

769
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:22,239
Speaker 1: strong hairline, he's got that good hair, that good hair.

770
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean his hair, Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,

771
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:29,319
Speaker 1: it's like it's it's like it was just painted ones,

772
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 1: painted on by a master. And his beard as a

773
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:35,719
Speaker 1: as a bald dude who can't grow a beard and

774
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:38,400
Speaker 1: a Lakers fan, Jayson Tatum is an affront to my

775
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:44,120
Speaker 1: existence as Paul George has got a really good beard

776
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:49,319
Speaker 1: and a really good hairline. Surprise the future Laker guy.

777
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 1: All right, let's keep it moving, I mean all right,

778
00:40:57,360 --> 00:41:00,040
Speaker 1: that is my question for you, though, when when is

779
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 1: Jason Tatum available to become a Laker Because it does

780
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 1: feel like he's got he's got that flirtation with the

781
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:08,239
Speaker 1: Kobe thing happening. I don't know, No, I want to

782
00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:10,480
Speaker 1: ask that, all right, give me a contender verse pretender

783
00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:13,279
Speaker 1: for a title. Um, I think we've already heard your

784
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:17,319
Speaker 1: thoughts on the Sixers that you know they're not being

785
00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 1: the dang Celtics. So as long as Orlando doesn't get

786
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 1: into the playoffs, I think we can cross the Sixers

787
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 1: off Cats pretender straight up, just pretender their solid just

788
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:33,880
Speaker 1: this and not they're not ready just yet. Just give

789
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:35,320
Speaker 1: him another year and then they'll be right up in

790
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:38,600
Speaker 1: the mix. What do they need to become an experience

791
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 1: experience more than anything else. I think, you know, experience

792
00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:43,960
Speaker 1: and health, so they can keep that going. I think

793
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:46,120
Speaker 1: next year they're going to be a scary, scary good team.

794
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:48,200
Speaker 1: But other than that, I like them. I just think

795
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 1: they're gonna they're gonna take the lumps in this playoffs.

796
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:52,520
Speaker 1: They're gonna get there, but I think a second round

797
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:54,960
Speaker 1: is probably the most likely. But they're very, very good.

798
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:57,440
Speaker 1: I'm not disrespecting them in anyway, Okay, but you're putting

799
00:41:57,480 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 1: them in the on the waterfront category because they could

800
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:07,200
Speaker 1: have been a contender. Are not Celtics contender for sure, Like, yeah,

801
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:10,320
Speaker 1: come on, son, do you feel like they've made that

802
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:14,239
Speaker 1: leap mentally? The like Tatum having watched more Celtics games

803
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 1: than me, I've watched them, you know, a fair number

804
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:19,319
Speaker 1: of times. I've watched what he's done to my six ers.

805
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:21,799
Speaker 1: I did not watch any of the swoon where they

806
00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 1: lost like three games and the rest of the league

807
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:27,759
Speaker 1: got excited. How real is it? So so Boston has

808
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:29,800
Speaker 1: addressed a lot of their needs in the offseason, especially

809
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:32,120
Speaker 1: when it comes to their bench, and you know, the

810
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:34,480
Speaker 1: addition of Broaden has been so immense for them. Uh

811
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:37,200
Speaker 1: the Timelord being healthy is emense for them as well too.

812
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:38,799
Speaker 1: And they may still make another movie. They clear they

813
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:40,359
Speaker 1: cleared a ross the spot about a week or so ago,

814
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:42,839
Speaker 1: getting rid of Avonley to San Antonio. So they're live

815
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 1: in the market for probably another stretch for maybe another

816
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:48,359
Speaker 1: front court big that can spell Horford or Williams either way.

817
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:50,160
Speaker 1: But to me, I think this is a team that

818
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:53,080
Speaker 1: really just believes mentally and and and what they have

819
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 1: in terms of talent and was looked in a great job.

820
00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:57,040
Speaker 1: I think on the sidelines as a coach of the

821
00:42:57,080 --> 00:42:58,840
Speaker 1: first year coach to spite all the bs that they

822
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:01,120
Speaker 1: walked into the season with. It's really been great to

823
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:03,080
Speaker 1: see them kind of overcome some of those demons. But

824
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:04,600
Speaker 1: they got do in the playoffs. But they're taking this

825
00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:06,880
Speaker 1: regular season seriously and you know, they may not get

826
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:09,000
Speaker 1: sixty wins, but fifty seven wins or whatever that can

827
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:11,240
Speaker 1: still probably get them number one season the East. Speaking

828
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:14,880
Speaker 1: of overcoming demons, Mozilla is also my favorite stand up comedian.

829
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:19,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, I was gonna say. I was like,

830
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 1: is it the humor of Joe Mazilla repowering? It must

831
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:27,440
Speaker 1: be the only royal family I know? Um, all right,

832
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:33,000
Speaker 1: Clippers my last contender verse pretender, uh, pretender. They can't

833
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:36,359
Speaker 1: stay healthy. They can't still healthy. And you know, Jack,

834
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:38,320
Speaker 1: you were on our show in the beginning of the

835
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:40,359
Speaker 1: year and I had a lot of faith and hope

836
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:42,000
Speaker 1: that the Clippers were going to be one of the

837
00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:45,279
Speaker 1: great contenders in the Western Conference. But I don't trust them.

838
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:47,239
Speaker 1: Twice playing great, he's been averaging like twenty something in

839
00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:49,279
Speaker 1: the last couple of games, etceter etcetera. But I just

840
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:50,799
Speaker 1: don't think they're going to be healthy when it's all

841
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:52,520
Speaker 1: that said and done, And they cannot do it without

842
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:54,600
Speaker 1: both those guys. I'm sorry, like they got to prove

843
00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:58,040
Speaker 1: it to me. Yeah, all right, I think that's it

844
00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:02,360
Speaker 1: for me. My but further questions, your honor, just you

845
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 1: just let this guy at a Celtics question warrant that

846
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:08,560
Speaker 1: that's that's ridiculous man witness moment. Yes, thank you so much,

847
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:11,640
Speaker 1: my honor. Uh, Mr Shaw, you have the chance to

848
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:13,320
Speaker 1: win ten thousand dollars to make a lay up with

849
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:15,800
Speaker 1: each chance twenty five thousand dollars to make five or

850
00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:18,680
Speaker 1: five free throws, or one hundred thousand to make at

851
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:22,600
Speaker 1: least four of five from the depths of the court.

852
00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:27,560
Speaker 1: Which challenge? Are you taking a hundred? I'm gonna go

853
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:30,200
Speaker 1: to easy money because I didn't get to play, you know,

854
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:32,600
Speaker 1: past my high school. But I'm so old. I was

855
00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:35,239
Speaker 1: around when the mike and drills were right hand left hand.

856
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:37,360
Speaker 1: I feel confident that I can walk over ten k

857
00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:39,560
Speaker 1: on that. So, you know, my wife would kill me

858
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:41,000
Speaker 1: if I did, you know, try to take the big

859
00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:43,600
Speaker 1: money and missed. I'm taking that easy ten k man

860
00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:45,759
Speaker 1: mike and drills for the win. And are you are

861
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:47,960
Speaker 1: you right hand or left handed? I'm right handed and

862
00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:49,400
Speaker 1: so on the left side. You're going up with the

863
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 1: left too, like you're you're doing it to the letter

864
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:54,880
Speaker 1: the okay, because I'll do okay. Past guests they when

865
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:56,799
Speaker 1: they do the layup challenge, when I say, well, okay,

866
00:44:56,920 --> 00:44:58,719
Speaker 1: on your left too, and they're like, well, I mean

867
00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:00,560
Speaker 1: I'll make a lay up from the left side. No

868
00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:02,840
Speaker 1: one doing it. Well, now you're faking the funk. You

869
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:04,319
Speaker 1: shouldn't get that. You shouldn't get the tank cake if

870
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 1: you do it that way. Okay, you know what we

871
00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:09,480
Speaker 1: gotta I think we should add that. So we might

872
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:12,800
Speaker 1: need to adjust this down. The prize money based on

873
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:16,000
Speaker 1: the fact that Pacers fan made a free throw, a

874
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:18,880
Speaker 1: three pointer, and a half court shot and won a

875
00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:24,359
Speaker 1: grand total of five hundred dollars. That had a next game.

876
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:25,640
Speaker 1: I was at the next game and it was giving

877
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:28,280
Speaker 1: out like a thousand dollars for like just running around

878
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:30,000
Speaker 1: or doing like a like a random I was like, yeo,

879
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:32,480
Speaker 1: the cheese out there in New York. So Indiana, all right,

880
00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:35,040
Speaker 1: they need to step their game up, could you edge?

881
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:37,640
Speaker 1: And I don't know, like I guess, I guess they

882
00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 1: probably said, like this is for an opportunity to win,

883
00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:45,560
Speaker 1: win five hundred dollars but that is what you're gonna

884
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:49,200
Speaker 1: do as a very low probability. I mean, if you're

885
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:52,719
Speaker 1: not a professional, who's your state. They got some people

886
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:56,400
Speaker 1: who grew up with basketball, like you think that's what

887
00:45:57,320 --> 00:46:01,360
Speaker 1: there's too many of these people. Can We almost bankrupted

888
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:04,200
Speaker 1: ourselves two seasons ago by doing this at the stop

889
00:46:06,360 --> 00:46:08,960
Speaker 1: people were smaller mid market team. I don't know, but yeah,

890
00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:11,320
Speaker 1: New York was given out cash and I've seen l

891
00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:13,600
Speaker 1: A give out cash. So that's why in l A

892
00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:15,320
Speaker 1: it was so bad. They'd let you come off the

893
00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:21,399
Speaker 1: bench in some games. What's your ultimate NBA jam duo?

894
00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:27,160
Speaker 1: If you could mix match across eras post snap kind

895
00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:31,719
Speaker 1: of question? Is that? So? But they had all right,

896
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:36,000
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna go with the arcade version. So it

897
00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:38,879
Speaker 1: didn't even come out at home before and I'm happen

898
00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:41,239
Speaker 1: to be a big draws and petrovits fan, uh so

899
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:44,080
Speaker 1: draws in and Derrek Coleman he would they were in

900
00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:48,640
Speaker 1: like the arcade version, but um but not like the

901
00:46:48,719 --> 00:46:50,920
Speaker 1: home version like for your for your game consoles, and

902
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:52,680
Speaker 1: I think draws that had passed away or something like

903
00:46:52,719 --> 00:46:55,520
Speaker 1: that for the real version got released. But to me,

904
00:46:55,680 --> 00:46:58,640
Speaker 1: when I remain my friends used to go, Uh, I was,

905
00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:00,600
Speaker 1: I'm just a big draws and fan man, So we're

906
00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:01,600
Speaker 1: just a lot of time. It was a lot of

907
00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:04,120
Speaker 1: fun playing with them. And then d C as well too. Yeah,

908
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:06,759
Speaker 1: so they got shooting because they can both you know,

909
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:09,759
Speaker 1: stroke it, and then also what they got that Yeah,

910
00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:12,160
Speaker 1: he could just throw across the court and then you

911
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:15,040
Speaker 1: know when they slapped the ball, Yeah that's yeah, Yeah,

912
00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:17,200
Speaker 1: that would have been dope. Is it worth the NBA

913
00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:21,359
Speaker 1: doing an NBA gym like real tournament? Probably a lot

914
00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:24,920
Speaker 1: of injuries would happen. But like NBA jam rules and

915
00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:27,919
Speaker 1: two on two, but you're allowed to just like chuck

916
00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:34,000
Speaker 1: people across the court. Might be interesting. Nineties style playoff basketball, Yeah, yeah,

00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:43,520
Speaker 1: used to call. Uh warm man, you did so good

920
00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:44,960
Speaker 1: on the last time, but you really should have kept

921
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:46,640
Speaker 1: this one moving. But that's all right. I'm not gonna

922
00:47:46,680 --> 00:47:48,640
Speaker 1: hold it against you. You can put together in all

923
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:52,280
Speaker 1: time for man dunk contest. Who is getting an invite

924

00:47:57,040 --> 00:48:05,600
Speaker 1: dr J Vince Zach Levine Zach Levine interesting. So yeah,

926
00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:07,160
Speaker 1: I'll give you a quick story. I wasn't. I was

927
00:48:07,239 --> 00:48:10,360
Speaker 1: in Toronto during that All Star break. I was feeling

928
00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:12,439
Speaker 1: like how I caught like some sort of crazy bug

929
00:48:12,520 --> 00:48:14,560
Speaker 1: or whatever the case it be, and literally watching that

930
00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:19,479
Speaker 1: dunk contest made me feel there. I was like puke

931
00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:21,680
Speaker 1: and I was like yo, but it just it lifted

932
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:24,480
Speaker 1: my spirits. I think Zach Zack has some really some

933
00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:26,600
Speaker 1: really big hops at that time. So he doesn't he

934
00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:28,400
Speaker 1: does not he's not a Hall of Famer. He doesn't

935
00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:30,440
Speaker 1: meet the mesh of all those other guys I mentioned.

936
00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:33,759
Speaker 1: But I really enjoyed that dunk contest. So yeah, I

937
00:48:34,520 --> 00:48:36,480
Speaker 1: just like that. It really made you feel better. Like

938
00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:40,399
Speaker 1: you're like, I don't know what, woman, You're like, Nah, Doc,

939
00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:45,799
Speaker 1: I don't need the vaccine. Just pull up the All

940
00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:50,200
Speaker 1: sor contest or Toronto Zach with lights bring me back

941
00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:54,640
Speaker 1: to life. That was it was, It was. It was

942
00:48:54,680 --> 00:48:57,479
Speaker 1: a while back. Uh. You can go back in time

943
00:48:58,840 --> 00:49:03,160
Speaker 1: and watching any single be a game gam from throughout history.

944
00:49:03,719 --> 00:49:08,640
Speaker 1: Which game are you choose him or gam or gam? Uh?

945
00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:14,879
Speaker 1: Jordan's first chip against the Lakers, so that something Game

946
00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:18,520
Speaker 1: five clincher? Yeah, because I thought it was done. Zo

947
00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:23,640
Speaker 1: Um after a game one a hand over his mouth.

948
00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:27,000
Speaker 1: That's probably the most angry I've ever been at an

949
00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:30,040
Speaker 1: NBA player in my life. Because I was young, I

950
00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:33,359
Speaker 1: was not regulating my emotions very well. When he hit

951
00:49:33,440 --> 00:49:35,239
Speaker 1: that game winner and then put his hand over his

952
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:38,440
Speaker 1: mouth like I don't I don't know what it was.

953
00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:42,279
Speaker 1: It really just made me mad as a child on

954
00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:45,960
Speaker 1: the other side of that equation. I loved it, and

955
00:49:46,080 --> 00:49:51,800
Speaker 1: then I cried when we lost that. I was devastated.

956
00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:54,120
Speaker 1: And then after that I was like, you know what,

957
00:49:54,760 --> 00:49:58,520
Speaker 1: I like Michael Jordan's That's what turned me. I was like,

958
00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:01,160
Speaker 1: you have vanquished my team and I'm I'm but a

959
00:50:01,239 --> 00:50:04,000
Speaker 1: seven year old boy. Uh. And then I fully gave

960
00:50:04,080 --> 00:50:07,080
Speaker 1: myself to the Jordan hype. But yeah, I remember them

961
00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:09,360
Speaker 1: so vividly. It was like so upsetting because it was

962
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:12,400
Speaker 1: always raised to be like lake or magic and everything,

963
00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:14,719
Speaker 1: and it was changing in the guard came to Pip

964
00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:18,719
Speaker 1: Indeed up magic m hm, he did, he did, he didn't.

965
00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:20,840
Speaker 1: Man Again, it brings those bringing back to some of

966
00:50:20,880 --> 00:50:23,560
Speaker 1: the great memories, you know, for me and especially when

967
00:50:23,560 --> 00:50:25,680
Speaker 1: you're thinking about it in hindsight, like the lore of

968
00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:27,520
Speaker 1: it like you know, hey, that was the first of

969
00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:30,040
Speaker 1: six and what it meant for for MJ especially at

970
00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:33,040
Speaker 1: that time, overcoming the Pistons, etcetera, etce, etcetera. Yeah again

971
00:50:33,120 --> 00:50:34,360
Speaker 1: that that was a whole That would have been a

972
00:50:34,360 --> 00:50:35,800
Speaker 1: whole vibe to go back and see that and have

973
00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:38,480
Speaker 1: that at that moment live or to see like those

974
00:50:38,520 --> 00:50:40,640
Speaker 1: games against the Pistons, knowing that this dude hit the

975
00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:43,520
Speaker 1: weight room off the strength of them just throwing him about.

976
00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:45,800
Speaker 1: I would like to see that that sort of grudge

977
00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:47,879
Speaker 1: match energy too, because I just love hearing that those

978
00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:49,799
Speaker 1: stories about it, Like, yeah, man, he realized he had

979
00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:55,160
Speaker 1: to start lifting weights. Michael Jordans beautifully put. But you
