You know, we didn't talk much about 59 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 3: Minnesota and what they had going on after losing Kirk Cousins, 60 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:11,080 Speaker 3: but that is one interesting situation to watch, you know, 61 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 3: justin Jefferson loses Kirk Cousins, how will that play apart 62 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 3: and what he's got going on? So that'll be something 63 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 3: that I'm curious about. But make sure you check out 64 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 3: the podcast so that you can hear all the things 65 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 3: that we talked about. But right now what we're going 66 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 3: to do. We're going to get into our legendary moment. 67 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 3: This week, I had the opportunity of sitting down with 68 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 3: Fred Taylor and we had a great discussion. He's one 69 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 3: of my favorite all time running backs. He's actually people 70 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 3: ask me who's the toughest running back you've ever had 71 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 3: to go against? It was Fred Taylor. Fred Taylor had 72 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 3: a unique blend of size, skill, quickness, speed and power 73 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 3: and his agility. I mean he could cut on the dime, 74 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 3: he could accelerate like no other. And he was hard. 75 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 3: He was just hard to tackle. He was hard to 76 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 3: get to. And that goes back to when I was 77 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 3: a freshman in school at Penn State and he was 78 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 3: at Florida in his last season, and unfortunately it's a 79 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 3: part of memory and it's a part of history. He 80 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:22,280 Speaker 3: broke the record for rushing yards in that game against 81 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,480 Speaker 3: US that year, and I got a very very good 82 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:29,840 Speaker 3: lesson on what it would be like to tackle a phenomenal, 83 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 3: one of one type of running back. So here's this 84 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 3: week's legendary moment. Enjoy it. This is Fred Taylor. 85 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 2: Conversations with a legend And now this is your legendary moment. 86 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 3: How important was it for you to connect with Sean 87 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 3: Payton and how much of a difference was that for 88 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 3: you moving forward in your career or would it have 89 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,720 Speaker 3: been not if they just continued on with you and 90 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 3: in San Diego because a lot of people were disappointed 91 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 3: that it ended the way that it did in San Diego. 92 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 3: But love. 93 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 2: Conversations with a legend and now this is your legendary moment. 94 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,839 Speaker 3: My number one guy that should be in the Hall 95 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 3: of Fame that is not there yet is Fred Taylor. 96 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 3: I continue to ring that bell and I'll continue to 97 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,799 Speaker 3: put it out there, hopefully until it becomes a reality. 98 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 3: How you feeling, man, How you feel about that? Because 99 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 3: that's like, that's one of those things where if you've 100 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 3: worked hard enough to deserve that distinction, you should give 101 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 3: a man his flowers while he's here. And you have certainly, 102 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:54,159 Speaker 3: and in so many ways, have earned the right to 103 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,360 Speaker 3: claim that title and get a bus. What's your feeling 104 00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:57,720 Speaker 3: on it? 105 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 4: Well, first of all, I appreciate your sentiment, you know, 106 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:04,359 Speaker 4: I appreciate you. Always respected you as a person and 107 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 4: a player. And I don't know if you're saying that 108 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 4: because of the numbers I put up against you your 109 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 4: freshman year. 110 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:12,719 Speaker 3: It's still a record, isn't it. I think it's still 111 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 3: a record, both the carries in the yard. It's just 112 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 3: crazy said they should have played me more because I 113 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 3: was the only one that wanted to hit you that day. 114 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 4: And you you certainly did. You almost knocked me out 115 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 4: the game. I was like, so I missed a few 116 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 4: players after that attempted cut block, even like this guy's 117 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 4: a freshman mann. But yeah, so that that whole process, 118 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 4: you know, I understand the process. Yeah, I understand my 119 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 4: first time finalists, so that the chances are very slim 120 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 4: as the first time final You have guys in Tory 121 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 4: hol you know, Reggie Wayne, they that final four or 122 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,840 Speaker 4: five years or more, and a few other guys too, 123 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:50,720 Speaker 4: So I don't expect myself to just trump those guys. 124 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 4: When you make that final fifteen, everyone's getting in. Everyone's deserving, 125 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,719 Speaker 4: you gonna get in. And the big thing, Levarre is 126 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:02,599 Speaker 4: that there's no real you know, foundational criteria, like what 127 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:03,039 Speaker 4: is it? 128 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 3: So what that does is it sends it over. 129 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 4: It kicks it over to a subjective category and not 130 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 4: saying there are certain biases, but you know, the selectors 131 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 4: have elected time like they have a hard time saying 132 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 4: these fifteen guys, he can do this. He did this, 133 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 4: He did this, He did this a guy who has 134 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 4: had an amazing year under the radar. Unless you're a 135 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 4: football fan, you know better. London Fletcher wasn't he a 136 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 4: finals He had twenty one hundred tackles right there with 137 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 4: Ray right there. And finally, so it's about getting that room, 138 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 4: letting them hear the conversation. You're presenter, presenting your case 139 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 4: and I have a strong case in my opinion, Yes 140 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 4: you do. I think it lacks some probos. But if 141 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 4: we want to weigh it on that, then again, what's 142 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 4: the criteria that's that's an issue. And but yeah, the 143 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 4: process is the process. It'll handle itself, it'll sort itself out. 144 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 4: I'm on God's time, and indeed, whatever is says, we'll 145 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 4: manage it that way. 146 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 3: That was Fred Taylor. If you want to hear that 147 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 3: interview in its entirety, just visit up on Game Presents 148 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 3: and you'll be able to check out conversations with a legend. 149 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 3: Like I said, I have a tremendous affinity for Fred Taylor. 150 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,559 Speaker 3: It's a few guys that kind of transcend the game 151 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 3: and you start to think about, you know, the look, 152 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 3: the style. Fred freddie T was one of them dudes 153 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:33,959 Speaker 3: that had the bandana. He had the multi colored mirror 154 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:39,319 Speaker 3: visor on his helmet, the way he wore his his 155 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:44,440 Speaker 3: his spats on his on his cleats, just the way 156 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 3: he wore his uniform. I almost I almost went to Florida. 157 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 3: I panicked so so coming out of high school. My 158 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 3: my favorite schools. Number one was Miami. I thought I 159 00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 3: was going to be a Miami Hurricane. Then Miami, you know, 160 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,840 Speaker 3: has a situation take place. They end up going on 161 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:08,440 Speaker 3: heading into probation, and I kind of, you know, lost 162 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 3: a little steam on them. But I just loved Florida schools. 163 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 3: Florida State was my number two school that I was 164 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 3: I was like really really interested in, and then the 165 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 3: third school being Florida and Penn State. And you know, 166 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,479 Speaker 3: I wanted to play linebacker, but I was a tailback, 167 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,440 Speaker 3: so I used to I was all into how I 168 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,280 Speaker 3: wore my uniform, how I spot it, all that stuff. 169 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,840 Speaker 3: So anytime I see a dude that had you know 170 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 3: what what the young kids say these days, they had 171 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:42,080 Speaker 3: the drip that I was all in on them. And 172 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 3: Florida had I mean they had freddie T and Freddie 173 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,199 Speaker 3: T the way he wore his uniform and the way 174 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 3: he came out there and he played it was just 175 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:55,959 Speaker 3: super super influential. Florida State had work done. Uh Miami, 176 00:09:56,440 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 3: they they had James Stewart, and James Store wasn't a 177 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 3: flashy dude with how he wore his uniform. But there 178 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:08,960 Speaker 3: was another dude by the name of edgri and James 179 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,599 Speaker 3: that was on that on the Miami team when I 180 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 3: was in high school as well, and he wasn't super 181 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:18,200 Speaker 3: flashy either. I just loved the Hurricanes. But then there 182 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,080 Speaker 3: was also a running back by the name of key 183 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 3: John Carter that was at Penn State that I really 184 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,440 Speaker 3: really liked the way he wore his uniform and I 185 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,720 Speaker 3: just fell in love with the uniform. So it was funny. 186 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 3: I was a big fan of running backs at first 187 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 3: because I was a running back. I played linebacker, ended 188 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 3: up wanting to be a linebacker being from Pittsburgh, but 189 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,960 Speaker 3: one of my influences that I ended up playing against 190 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,560 Speaker 3: was Fred Taylor, and so it was interesting. I always 191 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:51,199 Speaker 3: say the best linebackers were running backs. They played running back, 192 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,360 Speaker 3: but that was Fred Taylor, man, and I truly do 193 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 3: hope that he does get that call into the Hall 194 00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 3: of Fame. He truly was, in my estimation, one of 195 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,560 Speaker 3: the greats to do it. And again I mean in 196 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 3: terms of explosive plays, long plays. If you've not seen 197 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 3: Fred Taylor play, just go YouTube, you know, search Fred 198 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:17,320 Speaker 3: Taylor and look at his highlights. Man, fun to watch. 199 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,600 Speaker 3: His style is technique, just just really cool to watch. 200 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:25,720 Speaker 3: And I enjoyed watching him when we weren't playing against him, 201 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,440 Speaker 3: and I enjoyed competing against them when we did play 202 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 3: against one another. So that's Fred Taylor, all right. This 203 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:36,720 Speaker 3: is up on Game. Yes, Plexico and TJ are out 204 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,680 Speaker 3: right now.

It really is a lot of basketball 298 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 3: going on, and there wasn't a lot of basketball going 299 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 3: on and Arbor this past season. You're your boy, Jawan Howard. Uh, 300 00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:03,920 Speaker 3: he was let go another college great, Jerry Stackhouse. He 301 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 3: was also relieved to his duties at Vanderbilt. Right, every 302 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 3: coach or every player that was great can't always coach. 303 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know how detailed you are intimate 304 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:23,119 Speaker 3: with the details of what's taking place with with Juwan Howard, 305 00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,160 Speaker 3: But what do you think happened? 306 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,320 Speaker 7: Yeah, I hate to see that. I hate to see it, 307 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 7: especially with the black coaches, to be honest, because for 308 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,600 Speaker 7: so long, man, with the black coaches with D one 309 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:39,640 Speaker 7: basketball or football, the black coaches always seem to get 310 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:41,639 Speaker 7: a shorter leash, if you know what I'm saying, where 311 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,399 Speaker 7: they don't get a chance to really lock in. Like 312 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:48,760 Speaker 7: John Calipari, for example. John Calipari has only won one 313 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 7: national championship in Kentucky and it feels like he's the year. 314 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:58,080 Speaker 7: Like right now, Kentucky lost last night. They've lost. They 315 00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:01,679 Speaker 7: haven't won an sec them in since like maybe twenty nineteen, 316 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 7: if I'm not mistaken, like they've had a lot of talent, 317 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,359 Speaker 7: and the wins don't really match that talent they have 318 00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:12,240 Speaker 7: right now. The DJ Wagner reeves they got like they 319 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 7: got Robert Dillingham, who's the top three pick, top five 320 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 7: pick potentially in the draft. He's under retieving that Kentucky, 321 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,280 Speaker 7: but people don't really come at him the same way. 322 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,920 Speaker 7: And I see with Juwan how I hate that because 323 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,200 Speaker 7: yes he didn't make the tournament the last two years, 324 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:32,240 Speaker 7: but it's very hard now the playing field is different 325 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:35,720 Speaker 7: with the NIL stuff and the way these guys can recruit. 326 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,679 Speaker 7: They're pretty much like it's pretty much AAU style right 327 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:42,639 Speaker 7: now with college basketball, where you know how AAU basketball, 328 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:45,159 Speaker 7: how kids just hot from team to team from year 329 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,440 Speaker 7: to year, from summer to summer. Now, if a kid 330 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:51,639 Speaker 7: plays well, he can be the PAC twelve Player of 331 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 7: the year or the HC Player of the year. He 332 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,720 Speaker 7: might move on to a better situation. So it's really 333 00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,359 Speaker 7: hard for these coaches, like a stack House, you know, 334 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:03,199 Speaker 7: like a Juwan Howard, to really resonate and connect with 335 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 7: these players because like these players, some of these kids 336 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 7: already got money in their pockets. They already millionaires, you know, 337 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:12,879 Speaker 7: they already they already, they already have achieved the financial security, 338 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 7: so they might not listen to an NBA veteran the 339 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,479 Speaker 7: same way they would, you know, even five to ten 340 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 7: years ago. So I think it's it's gonna be a 341 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:24,200 Speaker 7: constant struggle with those guys. But we have seen success 342 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,120 Speaker 7: as well. Like one of my good friends, Damon Sotomayer, 343 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 7: he's been a guest on my show before, Damon Stamar. 344 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,399 Speaker 7: He went, he went to Georgia Tech. This year he 345 00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:34,840 Speaker 7: upset Duke. This year, he beat you and c This 346 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 7: year he beat Clemson and they lost like twenty one 347 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,120 Speaker 7: of their games were decided by less than like four 348 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:43,119 Speaker 7: or five points, so they were competitive. He's bringing Georgia 349 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 7: Tech basketball back. So we are going to see some 350 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,640 Speaker 7: guys lose their jobs. But I also like to highlight 351 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,520 Speaker 7: those guys that are like coming from the NBA making 352 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:53,960 Speaker 7: that transition, because it's very tough man to connect with 353 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:55,000 Speaker 7: the players nowadays. 354 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 3: Are you are you a bracket? Are you are you 355 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:02,120 Speaker 3: a march mad? This bracket guy. 356 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:05,199 Speaker 7: I used to be a bracket guy, like you know, 357 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 7: get all the homeboys and let's do a bracket. But 358 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,200 Speaker 7: now I kind of just do like the daily fantasy 359 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 7: stuff where I actually put a bet in last night, LeVar, 360 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:15,240 Speaker 7: I feel real good about my bet. 361 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:16,359 Speaker 3: What you gotten. 362 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:20,080 Speaker 7: I hate to say this because I've never rooted for 363 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,920 Speaker 7: this college, even though I lived in North Carolina. I've 364 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:26,160 Speaker 7: never been a Tarhos fan. Right, funny stories, but never 365 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:29,520 Speaker 7: been a Tarreho fan. But I've liked certain players, the 366 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,960 Speaker 7: Vince Carters, the Ed Codas, the listeners on. Like you know, 367 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,399 Speaker 7: I've liked certain players, but I've never really was a 368 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:39,960 Speaker 7: Carolina fan because my grandfather, who built my first basketball 369 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,560 Speaker 7: goal in my backyard when I was like eleven years old, 370 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,040 Speaker 7: he was an Anti State fan. So in North Carolina, 371 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,960 Speaker 7: it's like you's the cheer for Duke Anti State Carolina 372 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:51,160 Speaker 7: back in the eighties nineties. So now to see Duke, 373 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 7: I mean not Duke, but see un C and anc 374 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 7: State face off the night ACD Championship, It's buzzing in 375 00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:59,679 Speaker 7: North Carolina right now. I feel like robbery is back 376 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,360 Speaker 7: a little bit. So I'm just anxious to see all 377 00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 7: these matchups, like you got Iowa State going against Houston. 378 00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:09,359 Speaker 7: A lot of people sleeping on Houston. I think Kelvin Sampson, 379 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:12,240 Speaker 7: who's one of my favorite coaches. I know it's some 380 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:15,480 Speaker 7: pretty well, the assistant coach Jerry Houston man like I 381 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:19,119 Speaker 7: would love to see a guy like Kelvin Sampson who's 382 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:23,920 Speaker 7: had other big jobs like Oklahoma. His first year at Houston. 383 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 7: Houston's first year in the Big Twelve, they ran the 384 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 7: table in the regular season. So if they win this 385 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:34,200 Speaker 7: conference championship tonight against Iowa State, that means a new 386 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,920 Speaker 7: Sheriff's in Town, Canada is no longer the sheriff in 387 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 7: town in the Big Twelve. All Right, It's a lot 388 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 7: of good matchups, man, Yukon in the Big East, going 389 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,399 Speaker 7: against Shaka Smart and Marquette.

We didn't 444 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 7: see this version of Zion whims And. We meaning, like 445 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,320 Speaker 7: I'm a Duke fan, we didn't see this when he 446 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,840 Speaker 7: was that Duke. I feel like he left a lot 447 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 7: on the table at Duke, Like he really could have 448 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 7: won the national championship just off. 449 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:58,520 Speaker 3: Talent, like a laid back personality, Like it's not like 450 00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:02,520 Speaker 3: in him to be like, you know, fiery with what 451 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:05,280 Speaker 3: he and I think that that's what sells, you know, 452 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:09,600 Speaker 3: what people want. I mean, listen, Steph Curry isn't isn't 453 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,919 Speaker 3: that type of dude either, But he shows a little 454 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 3: bit of personality. You know, It's like he doesn't show 455 00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:17,720 Speaker 3: very much personality. 456 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:21,159 Speaker 7: Man, Now he doesn't. I think I think he's starting 457 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 7: to realize that, you know, he's he got to write 458 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 7: people in the circle. Now that he got some people 459 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 7: out of his circle, making better decisions on and off 460 00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 7: the court. You know, you know how it can be 461 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:34,880 Speaker 7: coming from a small rural town in South Carolina, being 462 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 7: a high school fet now I'm on YouTube, and then 463 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:40,800 Speaker 7: getting all that money shoe deal, Jordan brand deal earlier 464 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,280 Speaker 7: in your rookie year. That could do something to a 465 00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 7: kid's mentality in his mindset, you know, getting all that 466 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,000 Speaker 7: at one time. So I think he's reaching that maturity 467 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:51,840 Speaker 7: level now and I'm loving to see it. Like he's, 468 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,280 Speaker 7: like I said, he's a duke kids part of brotherhood. 469 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,080 Speaker 7: But I just love to see what I'm seeing from 470 00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:01,119 Speaker 7: Zion right now because he has a lot of critics 471 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 7: like he has because they see the talent, like the 472 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:06,280 Speaker 7: raw talent, and like you said, he looks like a 473 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:10,199 Speaker 7: lackadaisical guy. So it's like he got to have that ferocity. 474 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:13,280 Speaker 3: Sometimes he's gonna say lacks of daisical. He just laid back. 475 00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:16,159 Speaker 3: He just real. There's some dudes that just they just 476 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:19,280 Speaker 3: smooth dudes, like they just real internalized, you know what 477 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 3: I mean. They're not real outwork with how they are, 478 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:24,080 Speaker 3: they just real internal and he just he just seems 479 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,120 Speaker 3: like he's just an internal dude, that's all. 480 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 7: Yeah, I think that's what it is. So I was 481 00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:31,960 Speaker 7: I would love to see those guys make a run, 482 00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:36,159 Speaker 7: But I think we're headed towards another play in situation. 483 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 7: The Lakers at the nine see right now, the Warriors 484 00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:43,040 Speaker 7: at tend they played that they played tonight frimetime tonight 485 00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:46,000 Speaker 7: on ABC.

I'm live streaming 486 00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:49,400 Speaker 7: the games because the energy those two fan bases have created, 487 00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:52,879 Speaker 7: like this crazy rivalry on social media. That's gonna be 488 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,600 Speaker 7: a big game. The Lakers have been the Warriors daddy 489 00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:58,680 Speaker 7: for the last couple of times they faced them, including 490 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,639 Speaker 7: a playoff last year to play in the year before that. 491 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,640 Speaker 7: So we're headed towards pretty much a play in matchup, 492 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:07,359 Speaker 7: I think with those two. And the tough thing for 493 00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:11,480 Speaker 7: the Lakers, man, is if they win that playing game 494 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:14,400 Speaker 7: against the Warriors, say right, they still have to play 495 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:18,320 Speaker 7: the winner of the Suns and the MAVs in the 496 00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:21,720 Speaker 7: playing tournament as well, just to be able to get 497 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,040 Speaker 7: a match up with the Nuggets through the top seed. 498 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:28,960 Speaker 7: That's a dallet, man, that's a dauntlet. So that's what happens. 499 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:31,040 Speaker 7: That's what I would say to the Laker nation. That's 500 00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:35,639 Speaker 7: what happens. When you don't take certain regular season games serious. 501 00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:39,040 Speaker 7: We just saw article release. Dave mcmnhimon just dropped the 502 00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:41,760 Speaker 7: article about some of the things that's going on in 503 00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:43,960 Speaker 7: the locker room, things that I've heard as well. But 504 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:46,920 Speaker 7: it's just mind boggling to hear these things come out 505 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:51,159 Speaker 7: about coach ham and his lack of communication or like 506 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:54,320 Speaker 7: the players are just now opening up in film sessions 507 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:58,480 Speaker 7: and we're almost twenty games leftons into the regular season, right, 508 00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:01,199 Speaker 7: twenty games left in the regular season and maybe nineteen 509 00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:05,880 Speaker 7: games I think, and we're just now allowing other players 510 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,080 Speaker 7: to speak up in the locker room. That's the vibes 511 00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:09,960 Speaker 7: around the team right now. So it's amount of things 512 00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,440 Speaker 7: going on behind the scenes with the Lakers, but they 513 00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:14,560 Speaker 7: still have time. A lot of basketballs have to be 514 00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:18,160 Speaker 7: played tonight on ABC. I think it's gonna be fireworks. 515 00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:23,640 Speaker 7: Steph Lebron. You know those moments are always like classic games, 516 00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:26,560 Speaker 7: massive piece performances. So I tell the fans, let's just 517 00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:30,960 Speaker 7: cherish these moments. KD Bron, Steph, these guys on the 518 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,879 Speaker 7: back end, Bro, it's almost you know, the hours. 519 00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:42,880 Speaker 3: Howard Glasses has no more sands left up top. Yeah, yeah, Hey, 520 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,360 Speaker 3: let me ask you this. You said you're talking about 521 00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:48,880 Speaker 3: new faces of the league and taken over once that 522 00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:54,040 Speaker 3: that hour glass has hit hit empty. Anthony atwarts Minnesota 523 00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,880 Speaker 3: Timberwolves like they got their two big men. I mean, 524 00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,160 Speaker 3: I don't know what the latest is on them. You 525 00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:02,880 Speaker 3: could maybe update that's on on go bet in Towns. 526 00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:07,120 Speaker 3: But I'm an Anthony. I'm an Anthony Edwards fan. Bruh. 527 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:12,160 Speaker 3: There's something about him. He's establishing himself. As to me, 528 00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:17,120 Speaker 3: is it could it be the most exciting, the most 529 00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:21,920 Speaker 3: the most feared, or most electric type of play he played? 530 00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:25,480 Speaker 3: Need I say, because it's been all these nineties memes 531 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,560 Speaker 3: going out and all this stuff going he plays like 532 00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:33,480 Speaker 3: a nineties basketball player, Like he gives me Dominique Wilkins, 533 00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:37,120 Speaker 3: he gives me. He gives me like that old school 534 00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:40,400 Speaker 3: like how Vernon Maxwell used to go up and down 535 00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:45,840 Speaker 3: the court. Like he is an energetic, exciting dude. And 536 00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:49,840 Speaker 3: need I say, looks like a guy that really really 537 00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:54,120 Speaker 3: enjoys playing. Go figure. I watch an NBA game and 538 00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:57,040 Speaker 3: I just it looks as though and it's probably because 539 00:29:57,040 --> 00:30:00,160 Speaker 3: they're just all that good, but he just looks like 540 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:03,760 Speaker 3: he moves at a different speed a different intensity level 541 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:05,800 Speaker 3: than anybody else that's. 542 00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:13,680 Speaker 7: Playing Anthony Edwards is Michael Jordan's with a Georgia driver's license. 543 00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:17,960 Speaker 7: I'm telling you, if you go on YouTube, if you 544 00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:21,120 Speaker 7: go on YouTube right now and you watch footage of 545 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:25,360 Speaker 7: Michael Jeffrey Jordan from Wilmington, North Carolina, YouTube the footage 546 00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,360 Speaker 7: the film does not lie. Go watch that eighty four Mic, 547 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:31,680 Speaker 7: eighty five, Mike eighty six mic. You know the mike 548 00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:35,040 Speaker 7: I'm talking about before he got like that, before he 549 00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:37,480 Speaker 7: started hitting the bitch press, before he started getting on 550 00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:37,960 Speaker 7: the inn. 551 00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:39,400 Speaker 3: The way to chain. Michael Jordan. 552 00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,920 Speaker 7: Yeah, the gold change, Michael Jordan. We all fell in 553 00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,960 Speaker 7: love with man. So go watch that MJ and then 554 00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:50,920 Speaker 7: watch the highlight tapes of Anthony Edwards and the similarities 555 00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:55,200 Speaker 7: are spooky. He is my favorite. He's been my favorite player, 556 00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:58,280 Speaker 7: like young player for a while now, but like this year, 557 00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:00,320 Speaker 7: it's another level. 558 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:01,920 Speaker 3: He's taking it to another level. 559 00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:05,880 Speaker 7: Yeah, this year, this playoff, they're number three in the West. 560 00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:07,960 Speaker 7: They've been back and forth in the top three all 561 00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:10,160 Speaker 7: year in the West. He had the chance to have 562 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:13,239 Speaker 7: a two thousand and six Dwayne Wade Miami heat run. 563 00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:15,800 Speaker 7: Y'all remember the two thousand and six runs where he 564 00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:17,840 Speaker 7: just put the heat on his back. Shaq was not 565 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:22,040 Speaker 7: the same shack, but Shaq was still effective. If Karl 566 00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:25,720 Speaker 7: Anthony Townsend come back from this, I think it's minister situation. 567 00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:29,000 Speaker 7: He might be back in time for the playoffs. Gobert 568 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 7: can get healthy Minnesota Timberwolves. They do have the pieces, 569 00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:35,080 Speaker 7: they do have enough talent around him, but he can 570 00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:37,840 Speaker 7: I can see him elevating his coren average because he's 571 00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:40,440 Speaker 7: averaging close to twenty six to twenty seven now. I 572 00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:42,560 Speaker 7: think he can propel that up to thirty two to 573 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:44,960 Speaker 7: thirty four range and he can give us one of 574 00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,320 Speaker 7: those runs. But I agree one hundred percent. Levard like 575 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:52,440 Speaker 7: Anthony Edwards Man his personality. He has that charisma. 576 00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:54,760 Speaker 3: I mean, he's got it all. He's got it all, 577 00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:56,280 Speaker 3: he got it all, He's got it all. 578 00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:00,000 Speaker 7: What I love about ant Man is he's so unapologied 579 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:03,040 Speaker 7: jeddak and he just really being himself. And you know 580 00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:04,800 Speaker 7: a lot of these guys that get the money, they 581 00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:07,800 Speaker 7: get the accolades, they get the sponsorships, and they really 582 00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:11,040 Speaker 7: start being kind of fake and phony. Ant Man is 583 00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:13,880 Speaker 7: a true original and he's a great role model for 584 00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,800 Speaker 7: the kids, Like you saw him the other night against 585 00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:21,080 Speaker 7: the Clippers. He was strapping Paul George up and he 586 00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:22,000 Speaker 7: was lady. 587 00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:27,560 Speaker 3: Hey, b yo, yeah George up. Bruh.

Y'all know what Alise is. Look it up. 655 00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:07,040 Speaker 3: I don't even remember what it is. I don't know 656 00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:09,239 Speaker 3: what's in it. I just know it was like that 657 00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:12,040 Speaker 3: was the drink that that was kind of like popular 658 00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:14,320 Speaker 3: back then. There was a yellow one and then there 659 00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:17,120 Speaker 3: was like a berry fruit one or whatever. Anyways, we 660 00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:20,239 Speaker 3: went through two of them bottles and we went to 661 00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:24,080 Speaker 3: this party. Now we're hanging out at the party. Everybody's 662 00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:27,040 Speaker 3: having a great time. And now you can just remember 663 00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:30,480 Speaker 3: when we were leaving the party, my teammate was walking. 664 00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:32,520 Speaker 3: We see him one second, and next day, you know, 665 00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:36,640 Speaker 3: we don't see him, Like where'd he go? So we're 666 00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:40,680 Speaker 3: looking around. He had got so so fried, so faded 667 00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:43,880 Speaker 3: that he had fell into the bushes, just went straight 668 00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:46,279 Speaker 3: into the bus just went straight to the bushes. So 669 00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:49,480 Speaker 3: when we looked closer, you could see his feet poking 670 00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:53,000 Speaker 3: out from the from the bushes. But he was down 671 00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:55,040 Speaker 3: on the ground in side of the bush. So we 672 00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:57,879 Speaker 3: pulled him out and then we you know, we move 673 00:36:57,960 --> 00:36:59,719 Speaker 3: on to the next place. We go to the next 674 00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:03,919 Speaker 3: place that I started drinking. Somebody gave me a one 675 00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:07,440 Speaker 3: of my teammates gave me a like a Gatoray bottle 676 00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:09,839 Speaker 3: and it had orange juice in it, and I was like, well, 677 00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:11,919 Speaker 3: what's what the orange juice is? Like, yeah, it's got 678 00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:14,319 Speaker 3: tanger rage as well. I was like, I'm already, you know, 679 00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:16,839 Speaker 3: feeling good. So I'm like, hey, it's Saint Patty's Day. 680 00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:19,399 Speaker 3: I got my Saint Patty's Day had on.

We're driving to the next place. 690 00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:59,319 Speaker 3: Unfortunately for me, everything started spinning, and I mean spin ning, 691 00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:02,719 Speaker 3: so the door and they're like, no, no, no, no, 692 00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:04,279 Speaker 3: don't do it, you can't do it.

The Saint 714 00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:19,520 Speaker 1: Patrick's Parade is just so dominant in that city. But 715 00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:21,759 Speaker 1: you know, I'm with my friend.

But 719 00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:33,160 Speaker 1: my lasting memory from that is while I am just 720 00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:35,680 Speaker 1: and I'm out of my mind for about three days 721 00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:38,880 Speaker 1: straight there at that time. But he he hits me 722 00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:40,440 Speaker 1: up during the middle of it, in the middle of 723 00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:42,440 Speaker 1: a hand and he's like, hey, can you help me 724 00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:44,880 Speaker 1: out here. I'm like, all right, I guess I'm older 725 00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:47,400 Speaker 1: than him when I'm going back to undergrad and he 726 00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:49,719 Speaker 1: so he assumes I have more knowledge with alcohol. And 727 00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:52,480 Speaker 1: I go over and he's trying to make jello shots 728 00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:54,120 Speaker 1: and he's like, hey, I'm putting this in the fridge 729 00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:56,520 Speaker 1: and it's not really like, you know, turn it into jello, 730 00:39:57,480 --> 00:39:59,080 Speaker 1: Like all right, what did you put in this?

Do you throw it all out? Let's 735 00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:16,120 Speaker 1: try this again. 736 00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:21,160 Speaker 3: Dang well, well, jello shots are a part of every fun, 737 00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:25,160 Speaker 3: uh drinking event.
