Well, let's get to it. 44 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 1: We're gonna start with our status check man. The COVID 45 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,240 Speaker 1: concerns in the NBA. Today, Man, the NBA postponed five 46 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:22,080 Speaker 1: more games due to the outbreak, nineteen teams with players 47 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 1: in COVID COVID and health safety protocols, more than fiftent 48 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 1: of the league's four fifty players in health and safety protocols. 49 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 1: To start the week, what you think about all is 50 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 1: going on and with the COVID m all on the NBA, 51 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 1: it's running rapid, you know what I mean? Like obviously 52 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: right now with the holidays, everybody's getting hit. I said 53 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:41,800 Speaker 1: last year though, at this time, I said, we should 54 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: have a pool of replacement players just in case. Obviously, 55 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:46,679 Speaker 1: you know, and the guys they've been the league the 56 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,080 Speaker 1: whole year. But guys are capable. You have guys like 57 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 1: Isaid who just signed. You know, you have guys out 58 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 1: there who can links to Galloway just signed. These are 59 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:55,519 Speaker 1: guys who were there all year long, you know, what 60 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 1: I mean, for something like this to happen, you have 61 00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 1: Bona Fi pros to make sure the show continues. And 62 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 1: that's what we need right now in these times because 63 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,639 Speaker 1: nobody knows what's next. Yeah, I mean it's crazy, man, 64 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,640 Speaker 1: because you know, even with people being vaccinated, they're still 65 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 1: catching COVID and still missing games, and like you know, 66 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 1: it's it doesn't make sense to to know for for 67 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 1: players not to be playing games that that that's not 68 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,800 Speaker 1: vaccinated with all this stuff going on. But will we 69 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 1: be seeing you back on the court when you say 70 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,800 Speaker 1: they need to have replacement players? What about you? Can 71 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 1: you gonna play somebody right now they need you to? 72 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 1: I could, I definitely could. And between us, Jack and 73 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 1: the rest of the Showtime family, I got a call 74 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 1: before the season to be honest with you, and the 75 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 1: team that called me wasn't really going anywhere, like you're 76 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 1: not gonna play, You're gonna mentor. And I was like, 77 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 1: you know what, I ratherther coach these kids. But in 78 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 1: this situation, being that you know, teams are actually trying 79 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 1: to go for a little bit more. Teams are trying 80 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 1: to fight for getting the playoff picture or trying to 81 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 1: solidify themselves to find themselves. I would definitely go, and 82 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 1: I'll be ready to go as well. And I know 83 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 1: people haven't seen me since the summer, but I'm still shocked. No, 84 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 1: that you're one person I know that's gonna stay on 85 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 1: top of his game. Like you remind me, you and 86 00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 1: um Joe Johnson the same category. Because the way y'all 87 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 1: love the game, no matter what your ages, y'all always 88 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 1: gonna work on y'all crab and perfect your game. Now 89 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 1: that's why Joe still killing to this day in the 90 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 1: Big Three. Though you're acting like you aren't killing the 91 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 1: Big Three. But that's another story. Yeah, that's another Story're 92 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: gonna be gonna let that go stack with all this, 93 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 1: all the cases, everything, everybody protocols sixty people this month. 94 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 1: Do you think the league could take a pause? What 95 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,840 Speaker 1: do you? What do you think about that? I don't 96 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 1: think they will because they went so hard as a 97 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: cubmenting that you have to be vaccine to play in 98 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 1: the game. You can't go. You can't go against that. Now, 99 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 1: you know you you you you. You put your foot 100 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 1: down and made a lot of people make some life, 101 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 1: life life decisions, some real life decisions on whether they're 102 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,839 Speaker 1: gonna work or not, whether they wanted to take the vaccine, 103 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 1: but you kind of force your hands. So now it's 104 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,359 Speaker 1: no way you can back back backtrack from that and 105 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 1: say no, we're gonna take some time off. That's you, 106 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 1: you contradicted yourself to I agree. I think the bubble 107 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,360 Speaker 1: may be an option. I mean, obviously people didn't really 108 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 1: enjoy it, but it came up with zero cases, you 109 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 1: know what I mean. It was a bubble was protected. 110 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,160 Speaker 1: So if the show must go on, like people say, 111 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,720 Speaker 1: I think the bubble may end up coming into play 112 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 1: at least to continue this season, because you look at 113 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 1: how seasons going. If we got sixty right now and 114 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 1: make it worse next month. Anthony Davis reportedly out at 115 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,840 Speaker 1: least four weeks with the MCL spring. I was watching 116 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,919 Speaker 1: that game, but didn't look pretty the way he reacted, 117 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:24,480 Speaker 1: especially collapsing in the tunnel, you know, had everybody on pause. Szack, 118 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 1: what do you think the long term and short term 119 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 1: effects are of the Lakers and Anthony Davis and how 120 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 1: that fits? Well, it's just the pressing to me because 121 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,360 Speaker 1: you know, I didn't think he was this injury prone. 122 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 1: You know, I was the same one walking around calling 123 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 1: him to the next the baby Tim Duncan. The more 124 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,280 Speaker 1: I'd led it to him Duncan and I'm i gotta 125 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 1: retract all my statements. I'm swallowing in it, and I'm 126 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 1: going to the bathroom and I'm gonna pass it. I'm 127 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 1: gonna flush it. I would never say it again, bro, 128 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 1: um Uh Tim Tim with somebody who played every day, 129 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,159 Speaker 1: every game, you know what I mean. I mean, I 130 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 1: know injuries, you can't really you know, for see the injury, 131 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 1: but he is really injury prone, bro, And I don't 132 00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,919 Speaker 1: think him missing this time it's helping team. They already 133 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 1: wasn't playing good. They already didn't let the had chemistry, 134 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 1: and they got all these stars and not what they 135 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 1: want to be. Yeah. I said that even with them 136 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,920 Speaker 1: being the six seven, fifth seed somewhere right now, that 137 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 1: they're still in a good spot. But with injuries like this, 138 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,159 Speaker 1: you never know how the sees it gonna go. Yeah. 139 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,039 Speaker 1: I don't like all the injuries for him so young. 140 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 1: It seemed like it's always something, you know what I mean, 141 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 1: And and obviously you have no control for injuries, and 142 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 1: especially that when he was just stand there, it was 143 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,039 Speaker 1: a kind of a flute place somebody pushed he fell 144 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 1: back into his knee. But he has a history of 145 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:32,279 Speaker 1: not always being available. And even before that, uh, he 146 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,279 Speaker 1: didn't look like himself, to be honest with you, he 147 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,160 Speaker 1: just didn't look like like he did last year when 148 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:38,920 Speaker 1: he's coming off the bubble, the urgency, you know what 149 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 1: I mean. And maybe it's fit and how things were fitting, 150 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 1: it didn't look like that urgency was there. Like you 151 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 1: said that that that mentality just dominated. Because talent wise, 152 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:48,840 Speaker 1: he's he's off the charts, you know what I mean, 153 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,159 Speaker 1: sometimes a little bit more than that. So we hope 154 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: to see him healthy. But obviously the Lakers gotta figure 155 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,920 Speaker 1: it out. Isaiah Thomas is there now. They're trying to, 156 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,599 Speaker 1: you know, kind of do some patchwork with everybody until 157 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,279 Speaker 1: they get everybody back. But if Davis, he has to 158 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 1: be the top guy on their team for them to 159 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 1: go where they want to go. You think you think 160 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,360 Speaker 1: with him, with him being injured, that the Lakers are 161 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 1: feel impression to make a trade. That's a great question. 162 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 1: I believe so, because, like I said, lebron knew he 163 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 1: needed Anthony Davis right, and so Anthony Davis is supposed 164 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 1: to be the young guy to carry them throughout the league, 165 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 1: carry them throughout the season. Then Lebron and him kind 166 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 1: of take over the playoffs. They gave the chance of 167 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 1: the Lebron arrest and gave a chance for Lebron to 168 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 1: kind of pick his spots, and they have that extra 169 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 1: energy in that second season, you know, in the playoffs, 170 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 1: in that finals from starts, but not having him those 171 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 1: like where do you go if it's not Lebron? Where 172 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 1: do you consistently go to? Especially when the game slows down, 173 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 1: getting the post basket, getting other guys easier shots, commanded 174 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 1: a double team. They got to figure out something. And 175 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 1: if he's gonna be out for a while, you gotta 176 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 1: look to make some trades. Yeah, and and uh, first 177 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 1: round exit, no playoffs, like all that second round next 178 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: to all that is a lead down season for everything 179 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 1: they brought into win the championship agin here in here 180 00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 1: in l A. So they got some big things, uh, 181 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 1: some big decisions to make. Man. But next up, Kyrie 182 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 1: is back on the court, bro, which I'm happy to see. 183 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 1: That's my little brother.

They're accepting it, they need it, They're 328 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 1: leaning on it. You know, he's one of the most 329 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 1: dynamic scores. He could swing games for them. And the 330 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 1: way that Heat are playing with him averaging twenty points 331 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 1: off the bench, you know, if he keeps it up, 332 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 1: that's legendary. So I think Tyler hero is his to lose. 333 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 1: But Tyler, don't take you off the glass. I've done 334 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 1: that before and I should have had one or two more. 335 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 1: You know. I was my first year in New York 336 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 1: and I had it going and j R. Start picked 337 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 1: up at the last part of the season. I think 338 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:57,360 Speaker 1: they end up the next one eighteen in a row, 339 00:14:57,840 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 1: and it's New York. Everything is bigger. You got hurt 340 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 1: the right time to swept it under my feet. Shout 341 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 1: to Jail. He did deserve it, but I thought I 342 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 1: had in the bag, So just keep going. I think 343 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 1: I think Tyler wins. Yeah, Tyler, Tyler Man, he's playing well. 344 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 1: I mean, he's making the case for a starter on 345 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 1: another team. You know, the way he's playing twenty off 346 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 1: the bench. That ain't needs you to do as you know, 347 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So so, and he did 348 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 1: come in confident, you know, all the stuff he was 349 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 1: talking about in the category players that he should be 350 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 1: UH in with uh. I think Murray and a couple 351 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 1: of the guys that he said he should be along 352 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 1: with and those talks, and so I get it, and 353 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 1: you should. Yeah, he shouldn't be that comer though. That's 354 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 1: that's what we do. You know what I'm saying, He's 355 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,040 Speaker 1: supposed to be that confident man. So so I get it. Man, 356 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 1: I know Jimmy Butler happy got him over there in Miami. 357 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,520 Speaker 1: You love you love for somebody to staying out there 358 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 1: like that, because now he's putting pressure on himself.

He's like, I'm ready, and he showed he 426 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:50,840 Speaker 1: left him to score in the first game, scoring nineteen. 427 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:52,480 Speaker 1: It's like, damn, how does the guy like this sit 428 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 1: on the at home for a year. But you guys 429 00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,679 Speaker 1: telling me that he couldn't be helping somebody even if 430 00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 1: he wasn't playing his And he's he's acute, like a 431 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:03,800 Speaker 1: young player right now on the league. They're so young. 432 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,000 Speaker 1: I know they grew up, especially guards, they grew up 433 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,560 Speaker 1: watching him, right, so he can give them that knowledge. 434 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 1: He's willing to give that knowledge and then to come 435 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,359 Speaker 1: back and start the second game have thirteen and thirty 436 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,040 Speaker 1: two minutes. Man, I couldn't be happy for him, but 437 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:16,880 Speaker 1: all the work that went into it. He's working out 438 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 1: with Will Connway every morning, six am, six am, six am, 439 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:22,679 Speaker 1: no matter who was there by himself, weight best on 440 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,199 Speaker 1: every morning. You gotta be locking into something different. You 441 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,400 Speaker 1: gotta be tapping a different frequency to really not give 442 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,400 Speaker 1: up on your dream. And he did that and all 443 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,200 Speaker 1: spot team for that. Well. You know when we talk 444 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:33,920 Speaker 1: and then we talk about we talked about do the 445 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,000 Speaker 1: Lagers needs to make a move? I think that puts 446 00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:39,760 Speaker 1: pressure on Russ because you know, even though I love Rush, 447 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 1: he's one of my favorite players. I picked Rush from 448 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,679 Speaker 1: before almost anybody. I just think what Isaiah brings to 449 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:46,800 Speaker 1: the team is what they need, you know, with with 450 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 1: having Mellow rebounded, with having a d when he's healthy, 451 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:51,720 Speaker 1: you have a whole bunch of big players, and Russ 452 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 1: plays like a big guard when you need that finess 453 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:55,960 Speaker 1: guard that can come in and give you thirty points. 454 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,120 Speaker 1: Tonight with a good shooting percentage, you know what I mean. 455 00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:01,040 Speaker 1: So I think Isaiah puts a lot of press on 456 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 1: on on Russ coming in the team because I definitely 457 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:05,680 Speaker 1: think that he will slide into that role way more 458 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:07,960 Speaker 1: smooth than Russ's playing right now. Yeah, but going back 459 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:09,600 Speaker 1: to like you said about a D, right, if a 460 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,040 Speaker 1: D s out, now you can stagger Uss in Lebron 461 00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 1: a little bit more, and now you can do it 462 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 1: that way. I could play with either one of them 463 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,240 Speaker 1: because he's such a catch and shoot specialist among all 464 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 1: his other mini offensive ways to score. He doesn't disrupt 465 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:24,879 Speaker 1: the floor of an offense. He can catch the shoot, 466 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:27,439 Speaker 1: he can get downhill, he has a high que he 467 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,720 Speaker 1: can make plays, he can get transition threes, and what 468 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,359 Speaker 1: his skill set is needed today's NB A, You know what. 469 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,400 Speaker 1: That's why I think this would go not only this year, 470 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 1: but beyond that. Yeah. I think if if a lot 471 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:40,680 Speaker 1: of people are you having people have this watching having 472 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,399 Speaker 1: seen that episode with Isaiah, go back and watch it, 473 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,879 Speaker 1: because you can tell in that show how mentally different 474 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,240 Speaker 1: he was with knowing he was healthy, feeling comfortable with 475 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 1: I'm ready to go, and in a situation he I 476 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:54,439 Speaker 1: heard that and I've seen that. I see it in 477 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:56,440 Speaker 1: his eyes, bro, because you can you can tell when 478 00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 1: somebody has been going through something and to finally be 479 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 1: able to exit him like, okay, I'm ready now. You 480 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:02,880 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. I got that in our whole 481 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:04,800 Speaker 1: conversation when he was on our show. So people should 482 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:06,720 Speaker 1: go and check that out. Man. But I'm happy for him. 483 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,959 Speaker 1: So we're saying all this about our team. Bro, he 484 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,200 Speaker 1: was old the bag when they didn't give him a bag. 485 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 1: Do you think he deserves a bag now? If he 486 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 1: come back and continue to play like he's been playing, 487 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:18,199 Speaker 1: has to. If you look at the guys who are 488 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 1: getting paid right now, right, they're getting paid for especially 489 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,919 Speaker 1: everybody says pacing space. Everybody's getting paid for shooting. Shooting 490 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 1: spreads the floor for your better players. You get a 491 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 1: chance to play faster. The three point shot is king. Well, 492 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 1: that's everything I was here Thomas does. If I'm a team, 493 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 1: why would I not want to bring him in for 494 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:37,600 Speaker 1: a multi year deal knowing he's in shape. Think about this, Jack, 495 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,960 Speaker 1: he's doing this off of not playing for nine months. 496 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 1: Let him get in the river, let him, you know, 497 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:45,720 Speaker 1: get a training camp and get everything else going like 498 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,280 Speaker 1: he'll be even better moving forward. If I'm a team, 499 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 1: I'm lining up to sign him to a two three 500 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 1: year deal, no doubt about it. Easy, easy, next segment. 501 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:58,000 Speaker 1: Fair questions at Joy Mason twenty three. Now that Jake 502 00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,480 Speaker 1: Paul has some fights under this bill and his all 503 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 1: his competitors, do you think it's time for him to 504 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 1: start fighting actual boxers? What you think is that, well, 505 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:08,199 Speaker 1: this is that's part of the game, you know, I know, 506 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,639 Speaker 1: I know the game. You gotta let him knock a 507 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:12,920 Speaker 1: couple of people out of make it look good. If 508 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 1: if you would have thought a boxer the last two 509 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:17,400 Speaker 1: fights with Jake, we would have been stopped talking about 510 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,960 Speaker 1: Jake Paul. Steve Our bought Steve Esponos. It wouldn't be 511 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:22,919 Speaker 1: putting him on showtime, you know what I'm saying. But 512 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:24,880 Speaker 1: right now he said it. You know, he's a high 513 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,639 Speaker 1: ticket and he knocking people out, you know what I'm saying. So, 514 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:29,919 Speaker 1: but it's time. I think if whenever he getting there 515 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 1: with a real boxer, his ring gonna come to an end. Bro, 516 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:34,440 Speaker 1: because they know how to take punches. They've been doing 517 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 1: this their whole life, and it's and that's just like 518 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,399 Speaker 1: me playing basketball. Can't nobody just all of a sudden 519 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 1: coming to basketball at one years old. I've been playing 520 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 1: my whole life and beat me to this day I'm 521 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 1: forty three years old. I'm gonna punish him still so 522 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 1: so because because of my I Q of the game 523 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 1: and been playing it so long. But what he's doing 524 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:54,760 Speaker 1: right now is epic. Uh been able to sell out 525 00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:56,919 Speaker 1: arenas epic, So I take my hat off to him 526 00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 1: for that. But when he come into a real boxer, 527 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:01,439 Speaker 1: he might get laid out fail. I'm with you on 528 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,719 Speaker 1: that stack. I think that obviously, build up the resume 529 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 1: is good for the sport, it's good for what's going on. 530 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 1: If he fights a real boxer at this point, I 531 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:12,199 Speaker 1: don't think he has much of a chance. So I 532 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,680 Speaker 1: think as he continues to build it up, it's soxiety 533 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:16,440 Speaker 1: people want to see it. Like you said, he's actually 534 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,440 Speaker 1: knocking people out, He really is, but he's not actually 535 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 1: knocking out real boxers, you know what I mean. So 536 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,879 Speaker 1: keep building up his resume, get him ten fifteen more fights, 537 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,840 Speaker 1: and then see if a real boxer is you know, 538 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:29,439 Speaker 1: if he's ready for a real boxer. I'm with you 539 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:31,560 Speaker 1: on that one. Ye, keep keep keep the prodect looking 540 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:33,720 Speaker 1: good to his tea. Yeah, keep your looking, keep your shining, 541 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 1: keep your shining. Yeah. Next man question at low Key 542 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,840 Speaker 1: Lows two on five, Jamal, This question for you, bro, 543 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,920 Speaker 1: what's the most memorable crossover you hit on somebody? It's 544 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 1: been a few stacks, but I'm gonna going I know, 545 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:49,080 Speaker 1: I know my favorite. You know my favorite too. I'm 546 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:52,359 Speaker 1: gonna go ahead and say that Wesley Matthews one. And 547 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:56,359 Speaker 1: the only reason why it's because he starts talking to 548 00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 1: the ref mid play and West's no is a defender 549 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 1: and I knew, you know what, we're talking boxing Stack. 550 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,280 Speaker 1: I was just boxing because I knew. I said, you 551 00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 1: know what, I'm a bapa and he's gonna time one 552 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:13,440 Speaker 1: and it's gonna be over with so and we start 553 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:15,840 Speaker 1: talking to ref mid player. Stack, you gotta stop. When 554 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 1: he started talking to the ref mid play, I said, 555 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,439 Speaker 1: I got him. So that one that's probably my favorite 556 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 1: right now. If you asked me on a Wednesday may 557 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,400 Speaker 1: be different, but right now it's my favorite. I'm gonna 558 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:25,960 Speaker 1: tell you my favorite. I'm gonna tell you my friend 559 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,359 Speaker 1: was I got a chance because I got a chance 560 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:32,000 Speaker 1: to see it up close and the benefits of it. Yeah. Yeah, 561 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,879 Speaker 1: that's one of my favorite to Stack. You crossed the 562 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 1: ship out of realen and all and I saw him. Yeah, 563 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,159 Speaker 1: I saw it. Jesus went down and you kicked it 564 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,679 Speaker 1: to me and I was like, oh, there's no way 565 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,639 Speaker 1: I could have missed that one. Beautiful. That was BEAUTIFU. 566 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,439 Speaker 1: You know what you know, you know, when you make 567 00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:52,680 Speaker 1: a move like that, you want to shoot yourself. But 568 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:54,400 Speaker 1: I said, and I got my dog with me, I'll 569 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,360 Speaker 1: know what he ons. So here you got it. It's 570 00:24:56,359 --> 00:25:02,040 Speaker 1: all good, and start talking crazier. I should every once 571 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:04,480 Speaker 1: you don't know what you don't know. When he failed, 572 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:06,919 Speaker 1: the whole team was trying to recover for him, so 573 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:13,480 Speaker 1: everybody was on everybody here said Stack, Stack, make a 574 00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 1: little depressure man, I said, he got this is all good. 575 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:18,440 Speaker 1: And now I think about that time. That was over 576 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,840 Speaker 1: ten years ago. We're still talking about that player. That's crazy. Yeah, 577 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:24,440 Speaker 1: that was That was one of the ones. D Devin Tyler. 578 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 1: The question is I'm super hype to see Thomas back 579 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 1: in the league. My question is what does he need 580 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 1: to do this go around and solidify his place on 581 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:33,919 Speaker 1: the team in the league. At the point at this 582 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:36,679 Speaker 1: point of his career, which you think stock Man just 583 00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,120 Speaker 1: continue to do what he's doing. Um, he just needed 584 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:41,560 Speaker 1: an opportunity. You know, we've seen so many guys that 585 00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:44,359 Speaker 1: be put in situations that they didn't have no control 586 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 1: over just because they didn't get the opportunity. And that's 587 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,040 Speaker 1: I T I T man. I didn't have fifty point 588 00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:51,359 Speaker 1: games like you don't you got you not know you 589 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,840 Speaker 1: belong in the NBA. Like everybody gonna come across fifty 590 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:56,879 Speaker 1: point games. I've never had one in my career and 591 00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 1: I've been I was healthy the most of mind. So Bro, 592 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,320 Speaker 1: he deserves it. Uh, Like I said, we hope, we 593 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:04,040 Speaker 1: hope you get that bag. As long as he get 594 00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:06,240 Speaker 1: the opportunity to, I gonna show he belonged. Yeah, the 595 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:08,720 Speaker 1: opportunities all the text. I think he's shown enough already. 596 00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,359 Speaker 1: To be honest with you, he's you don't stay that 597 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 1: prepared and that ready after that time off and come 598 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:16,679 Speaker 1: in on a team that's chasing something, that team is 599 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,200 Speaker 1: like contending for something, they're trying to build for something 600 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:21,440 Speaker 1: and had that kind of impact already. If you're saying 601 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:23,359 Speaker 1: we're gonna start him by the second game, that means, 602 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:25,480 Speaker 1: you know what, this dude is nice and he could 603 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 1: fit right in what we're doing. So obviously I think 604 00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:30,440 Speaker 1: he'll get a chance this year the rest of the year, 605 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 1: whether it's there's somebody else. Because when you're playing, you're 606 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:34,800 Speaker 1: not just playing for the team you're playing for. We 607 00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,159 Speaker 1: all know this twing, no other teams watching, and I 608 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:39,119 Speaker 1: for sure know that he'll be in the league a 609 00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:40,879 Speaker 1: long long time after this. I don't think he'll be 610 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:42,880 Speaker 1: aout to leave again until he's ready to retire. Next 611 00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:46,320 Speaker 1: fan question at god Dumas, why jam All didn't join 612 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:48,000 Speaker 1: the Big Three in Miami. I thought it was a 613 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,840 Speaker 1: done deal, that was something in the making stack and 614 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:52,879 Speaker 1: a lot of people know that. Myself and real and 615 00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,240 Speaker 1: were both free agents at the same time, and so 616 00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:59,360 Speaker 1: Miami did call early, but the Clippers called first. They 617 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,119 Speaker 1: called him, and so to me, you know how it 618 00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,520 Speaker 1: is when you're going through it, just like college or anything. 619 00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:06,560 Speaker 1: They probably got the most interesting. So I went on 620 00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:08,879 Speaker 1: the Clippers visit and it was done. Right after that, 621 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:10,520 Speaker 1: I didn't take any more visits. I didn't talk to 622 00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:13,160 Speaker 1: anybody else, and then Ray went opposite that. I think 623 00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,399 Speaker 1: the Clippers canceled to me were ray and then he 624 00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,840 Speaker 1: went to my hand. So they were looking for that 625 00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:20,399 Speaker 1: that two guard position. I don't think I talked about that. 626 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:22,800 Speaker 1: Nobody knows that story. So they got you much. You 627 00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:27,040 Speaker 1: did your homework. But yeah, definitely there was an opportunity 628 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:28,879 Speaker 1: there for sure. But I thought the Clippers wanted me 629 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,680 Speaker 1: a little bit more, and I thought the Clippers needed 630 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:33,159 Speaker 1: my skill sell a little bit more than handle the 631 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:35,159 Speaker 1: ball as a secondary ball hanging to cepeak. So I 632 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:36,879 Speaker 1: went there. Could you imagine that, sta be? Could you 633 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:41,240 Speaker 1: imagine if I want to? Oh? Man, well, I don't 634 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 1: think about that. That would have you would have played 635 00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:48,000 Speaker 1: for a lot of point guard out there. Yeah that's true. 636 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:53,080 Speaker 1: That's true. And Brian wren't going to the bench. No, no, 637 00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:54,879 Speaker 1: no, no no, no, I wouldn't happen. They would't happen. I 638 00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:59,240 Speaker 1: was gonna have to dust off the PG skills for sure. Yeah, 639 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:00,840 Speaker 1: you're definitely gonna be playing the point. But that would 640 00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:07,200 Speaker 1: have been a good look you the way broun l 641 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:10,520 Speaker 1: train Underscore thirty two. What a rule change you make 642 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:12,840 Speaker 1: if you're an NBA commissioner right now? What you think 643 00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:16,120 Speaker 1: sac what you're doing? Well, the main one they already did. 644 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:17,960 Speaker 1: They're letting boys smoke on some of that tree, so 645 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,640 Speaker 1: I'm cool, But I think the rule that they put 646 00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,200 Speaker 1: in that's kind of messing up with James, which James 647 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,240 Speaker 1: Harden game. You know, you gotta did you get your 648 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:29,359 Speaker 1: hands card? Uh? The office players making a move to 649 00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:31,320 Speaker 1: get your hands card, they're not calling that file and 650 00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:34,480 Speaker 1: I think that's bullshit because you gotta be You gotta 651 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,480 Speaker 1: commend James for having the i Q. If your ass 652 00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:39,560 Speaker 1: can't slide your feet and keep your hands out the way, 653 00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:41,560 Speaker 1: and I'm smart enough to lock your hands and every 654 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:43,000 Speaker 1: time I go out for a leap, I should go 655 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,160 Speaker 1: to the line and get two free throws. I hate 656 00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:47,640 Speaker 1: that rule. I think it's it's really messing up the 657 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:49,640 Speaker 1: game and Israel is just really helping the defenders. That's 658 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:51,720 Speaker 1: billing them out because as you know, Jamal, a lot 659 00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:53,400 Speaker 1: of people don't want to play Deepens anyway. And then 660 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:55,080 Speaker 1: when you're going to get a guy like James Harden, 661 00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:58,200 Speaker 1: you automatically thinking it's impossible. So for him that for 662 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:00,160 Speaker 1: James to have the i Q and lockplayer is in 663 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:01,680 Speaker 1: like that and to be able to go to the line. 664 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:03,600 Speaker 1: For them to change that rule, I think that's the 665 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,280 Speaker 1: only one I I give up on. I think James 666 00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:08,560 Speaker 1: i Q Is the most underrated part of his game. 667 00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:10,920 Speaker 1: Nobody talks about that. We talked about his score and 668 00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 1: step back, his hand, or his craftiness, his strength hiss 669 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:16,680 Speaker 1: like kids basketball intelligence. People forget when he was with 670 00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:19,440 Speaker 1: the thunder running point guard late in the game in 671 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:21,320 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, it wasn't the Katie and us saying. 672 00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:24,320 Speaker 1: It was in James hands making decisions. So he became 673 00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:26,200 Speaker 1: like the black Jenoble at that time, you know what 674 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:27,920 Speaker 1: I mean, Like he was on the left hand and run, 675 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,600 Speaker 1: but as a sixth man. But if I had one 676 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,640 Speaker 1: rule change, if I was commissioned for the day, it 677 00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:37,360 Speaker 1: would be I'm taking too forget, I'm taking to the 678 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:40,320 Speaker 1: first one I would I would put fifteen people on 679 00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:42,840 Speaker 1: All Star Game because we have twelve and every there's 680 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:45,680 Speaker 1: always a couple of snubs each year. I think we 681 00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:47,640 Speaker 1: get rid of those. Would have I would have made 682 00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:50,080 Speaker 1: that was a case. I would have made one. I 683 00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:52,160 Speaker 1: would have made one to stack, That's what I'm saying. 684 00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:55,080 Speaker 1: And there's another lou Will would have made one. You 685 00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:57,320 Speaker 1: would have had Monte Maker one. You would have had 686 00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:59,360 Speaker 1: a bunch of people make All Star games even if 687 00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:01,520 Speaker 1: they only had one an opportunity because those snubs that 688 00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:03,920 Speaker 1: one year they really deserve it. They don't get in 689 00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:05,840 Speaker 1: because it's been a repeat offender. Guy who's been there 690 00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,280 Speaker 1: seven eight nine times. Until the guys going seven eight 691 00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:10,080 Speaker 1: nine time, it's like, okay, I'm going again. I don't 692 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:11,480 Speaker 1: want to play in it. Really, I'm just happy I 693 00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:14,600 Speaker 1: made an All Star game. That guy's going and the 694 00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:16,800 Speaker 1: guy that's going once, it's like, you know what, it's 695 00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,120 Speaker 1: my only time I could officially retire saying I was 696 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:20,960 Speaker 1: an All Star in this league, you know what I mean? 697 00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:23,200 Speaker 1: So that part of it, and then the second one 698 00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:26,880 Speaker 1: I would require with the league being younger, I'll required 699 00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:29,280 Speaker 1: two vets on each team, two vets that have ten 700 00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:32,760 Speaker 1: years are more on each team because right now it's 701 00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:34,720 Speaker 1: the blind leading the blind. We need more vets in 702 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:36,840 Speaker 1: the league showing the young guys the way. I didn't 703 00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:38,840 Speaker 1: learn to be a pro until I had pros around me, 704 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:43,880 Speaker 1: Charles Oakley, Scottie Pippen, Rick Brunson, Kendall Gill, jay Le Rose. 705 00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:45,280 Speaker 1: I didn't learn to be a pro and to have 706 00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:47,480 Speaker 1: those guys around me being on time as being early, 707 00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:50,200 Speaker 1: not even downs before games, and I think that's just 708 00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:53,800 Speaker 1: missing the game to day closing thoughts been fund rocket 709 00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:56,800 Speaker 1: with my brother, Let's knock these out fight reactions Man. 710 00:30:56,800 --> 00:31:00,920 Speaker 1: This Weekend Man on Showtime Home Bat, I mean home 711 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:02,600 Speaker 1: basically had his place to be.

Obviously, right now it's crazy time. 814 00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:20,720 Speaker 1: So if you could be at your your family healthy, 815 00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:23,080 Speaker 1: you know, happy, I think that's the most important thing, 816 00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:25,399 Speaker 1: and in a wish is to get the Sonics back here. 817 00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:28,600 Speaker 1: You know. Obviously in Seattle, we have so many talented 818 00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:31,840 Speaker 1: young players that came through guys over the years, and 819 00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:34,680 Speaker 1: we're all products of watching the Sonics, watching Gary Payton, 820 00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:37,400 Speaker 1: Sean Kemp, watching the Lonnie throw it down, watching with 821 00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:40,120 Speaker 1: Shard shooters threes, watching Ray doing some thing, you know. 822 00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:42,800 Speaker 1: So that all allowed us to dream, especially once that 823 00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:46,040 Speaker 1: came underneath them. So hopefully this this generation, these kids 824 00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:48,120 Speaker 1: get a chance to see that as well, because all 825 00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:49,960 Speaker 1: they got right now is a program, which is cool. 826 00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:52,160 Speaker 1: It's holding it down, but we need our Sonics back 827 00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:54,040 Speaker 1: and they're greeting gold. I know it's for Bubba Chuck 828 00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:56,520 Speaker 1: and Bethea, but it might be the Sonics to shout 829 00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:58,400 Speaker 1: to you for that staff. Shout out Bubba Chuck. I 830 00:35:58,400 --> 00:35:59,879 Speaker 1: think that would be dope to have a team back 831 00:35:59,880 --> 00:36:01,880 Speaker 1: and Seattle man, you know, I got you as you know, 832 00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:07,320 Speaker 1: my family Catfish Corner. They just relocated. But um doing well. 833 00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:12,160 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, my little cousin team Man, he doing this thing. Um, 834 00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:14,839 Speaker 1: I'm happy for Man. But been being able to come 835 00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:16,160 Speaker 1: back to a game. I think it would be great 836 00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:18,239 Speaker 1: for me because, like I said, I love being in 837 00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:20,600 Speaker 1: that arena. I love being able to come to even 838 00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:22,799 Speaker 1: my family. I have to think Tim Duncan. I took 839 00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:24,440 Speaker 1: him there when weep when I was playing with the Spurs, 840 00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:26,600 Speaker 1: and he said, you know, the best thing about it 841 00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:28,799 Speaker 1: was not only playing basketball, was being able to eat 842 00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:32,120 Speaker 1: Catfish Corner. So, uh, having a team in Seattle is 843 00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:35,080 Speaker 1: something that the NBA needs is good for the culture. 844 00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:37,040 Speaker 1: And I think growing up I was glad I was 845 00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:40,200 Speaker 1: able to play in it and an experience coming to Seattle, 846 00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:41,960 Speaker 1: because you know, that's you know, that's just like going 847 00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:45,200 Speaker 1: into any other arena, going into the Madison Square Garden. 848 00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:48,040 Speaker 1: Each city had the only live field, and UH, I 849 00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:50,800 Speaker 1: think that the players now would love to experience that Seattle. 850 00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:53,839 Speaker 1: They absolutely would. Blake came to UH my pro am 851 00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:55,719 Speaker 1: one time in Seattle and he said, that's my first 852 00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:57,560 Speaker 1: time I've been here. I didn't play her in the songs. 853 00:36:57,640 --> 00:36:59,680 Speaker 1: He loved the city.
