Speaker 3: get up this morning. You could argue Luca might be
Speaker 3: a better fit with Lebron than anybody who's ever played with,
Speaker 3: including d Wade, o Jo.
Speaker 2: Who do you believe is Lebron James' best partner?
Speaker 1: I mean, it could be Kyrie, it could be it
Speaker 1: could be the Wade, it could be Luca. Obviously, listen,
Speaker 1: goddamn Lebron is like a fucking the Lake.
Speaker 5: God talg it man. Sorry'all, my bad.
Speaker 1: Lebron is a lego piece on could you could plug him,
Speaker 1: You could plug him anywhere and he gonna fit it.
Speaker 1: Put him anywhere, you can put it with anybody and
Speaker 1: it's gonna fit because Lebron is that He's just that great.
Speaker 5: Lebron is really that great.
Speaker 1: He can adjust his game depending depending on who he's
Speaker 1: playing with. Yeah, he can play off the ball, he
Speaker 1: could dominate the ball, he could bring the ball up,
Speaker 1: he could play pointed, I mean, he can do everything,
Speaker 1: so I understand what I understand what he's saying. But
Speaker 1: it's it's it's almost it's almost like diminishing Lebron's greatness
Speaker 1: and saying that, look, it doesn't matter who he's playing with.
Speaker 5: He can adjust to the people that he's playing with.
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter when he showed that he did it
Speaker 1: with Kyri Reade, he did it with d Wade, he won.
Speaker 5: He did a win with Luca.
Speaker 1: Obviously, there's some more pieces that need to be added
Speaker 1: to that puzzle before they get to that point to
Speaker 1: where they're you know, they're they're back to their winning ways.
Speaker 5: But it's only so much time.
Speaker 1: Time is taken, you know, over there, which is why,
Speaker 1: which is why I like. I like my idea of embid.
Speaker 1: We ain't got none to lose because you need a pig.
Speaker 3: But then he but here's the thing you get, You
Speaker 3: get embiid and then you got to give him the rock.
Speaker 2: Luca needs the rock.
Speaker 3: Luca gonna have the ball more because Luca, as I
Speaker 3: said last night, Luca is better on the ball than
Speaker 3: he is off the ball. Lebron James needs the ball.
Speaker 3: But Lebron can play off the ball. You're gonna see
Speaker 3: a lot of lobs. You see Lebron coming through like
Speaker 3: Batman with those lobs. You see Lebron getting out on
Speaker 3: the floor. He has somebody that he can trust wholeheartedly
Speaker 3: to run the offense and not ever have to come
Speaker 3: get the ball since I got.
Speaker 2: It from here. Luca can do that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he can create his own shot too.
Speaker 2: Huh, Luca can create He's the best Luca.
Speaker 3: What Luca can do as opposed to what Luca can
Speaker 3: handle the ball, run the offense, get his own shot,
Speaker 3: get everybody else involved, and give.
Speaker 2: You forty fifteen and twelve.
Speaker 1: It's deficient, but think about this. I'm gonna go back
Speaker 1: to it and be things more time. Think about Luca
Speaker 1: being able to run the offense. Think about Lebron, Think
Speaker 1: about the offensive way the offense is being run. Think
Speaker 1: about the spacing that he is created because what they
Speaker 1: have offensively and what that would do finmb right, not
Speaker 1: very many double teams right, allowing you to.
Speaker 5: Sit in the painting to do what you do best.
Speaker 1: And if rotation you have to go mid range to
Speaker 1: go three, you get bad. He doesn't have to do
Speaker 1: much much running outside of going up and down in
Speaker 1: transition and playing defense.
Speaker 2: Well, see, you.
Speaker 3: Gotta be careful, o Joe, because a lot two things
Speaker 3: can be true. Luca might be the better player individually,
Speaker 3: but that don't mean that he's the best player with
Speaker 3: Lebron as a duo. Because you take one person that
Speaker 3: can sing over here, another person that can sing over there,
Speaker 3: and bring them together, and you might not get that beautiful.
Speaker 3: You might not get Tina Marie and Rick James. You
Speaker 3: might not get Stephanie Mills and Teddy Pendergrass. You see,
Speaker 3: I'm not get Barry White and Lisa Stanfield. Now Lisa
Speaker 3: Stanfield is not the best singer ever. Barry is Barry.
Speaker 3: But when you put them together, been around the world
Speaker 3: and now, yah yah, y'all know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1: As good as Lebron and Luca r at least you
Speaker 1: gonna get people Bryson and Roberto Flack.
Speaker 5: Yes, come on that, yeah, yes.
Speaker 1: And because of who they are and based on the
Speaker 1: resume and the great ones that Lebron is played with
Speaker 1: regards of who's better than who's that.
Speaker 5: They're still going to win. Because the duo, especially when
Speaker 5: you put them together.
Speaker 2: You know what you're getting. We only got four games.
Speaker 3: Let's hold off before we say Luke and Lebron is
Speaker 3: the best all the other duos. He won two championships
Speaker 3: with d Wade. He won a championship with Kyrie. He
Speaker 3: won a championship with Ad. Let's let's make then, you know,
Speaker 3: let's wait more than a game, a four game before
Speaker 3: we decide, Okay, we're good. The seventy six Joel Embiid
Speaker 3: is exploring options for its need The spinner leftis. The
Speaker 3: seventy six Ers and Joel Embiid are consulting doctors and
Speaker 3: considering alternative options, such as surgery for its injured left men.
Speaker 3: Both sides of hope for progress in in Bead's condition,
Speaker 3: but his determination to play and current treatments, including regular injections,
Speaker 3: sources said, have not led to anything improvable. Embiid has
Speaker 3: publicly and properly said in recent weeks that he might
Speaker 3: eventually need surgery for an extended rest period for his
Speaker 3: knee to heal, but he has been determined to find
Speaker 3: ways to continue playing and be available for the seventy
Speaker 3: six Ers.
Speaker 2: Oh Joe, Yeah, the Joel and Beech shut it down.
Speaker 5: I think obviously it's hampering him.
Speaker 1: It is hampering his play, is affecting his ability to
Speaker 1: dominate the way he once did. Because of his ailing need,
Speaker 1: He's not able to dominate the game as he always has,
Speaker 1: you know when he is healthy. My suggestion to embiid,
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about players, whether it be NBA or back
Speaker 1: NBA or football that have gotten that have had knee
Speaker 1: troubles in him come back successful and been able to
Speaker 1: dominate at their respect of craft and respect to positions.
Speaker 5: And the only thing I can think of, the only
Speaker 5: person I.
Speaker 1: Can think of is a Adrian Peterson what he was
Speaker 1: able to do after having a tearing this acl A.
Speaker 1: I don't know what doctor, Lord have mercy. I don't
Speaker 1: know what doctor Adrian Peterson went to. But whatever he did,
Speaker 1: whatever procedures, whatever, whatever rehab he did, and B needs
Speaker 1: a follow suit.
Speaker 5: I know there's a difference in height and weight and everything.
Speaker 1: But if if Adrian Peterson come back and not skip
Speaker 1: a beat or not miss a beat and come back
Speaker 1: and do what he did and still play at an
Speaker 1: elite level after completely tearing his A, C L and
Speaker 1: B can come back to as well if he's serious
Speaker 1: about putting in the work to get back to his
Speaker 1: dominating ways.
Speaker 3: Think about what AP was before he got injured? So huh,
Speaker 3: you don't think and B was his physical condition? Did
Speaker 3: we have ever have any doubts about a d AP
Speaker 3: Adrian Peterson conditioning?
Speaker 5: I see, did we.
Speaker 3: Have any did we have any doubt any questions about
Speaker 3: his desire and what football meant to him?
Speaker 5: That's what you mean? Okay, I see where you're going.
Speaker 3: So now he's going to a So everybody like man
Speaker 3: ad is not gonna be what he once was. His mindsets,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna be better than what I once was. And
Speaker 3: he attacked it right. You said there's a difference. There's
Speaker 3: a difference between being six foot six one and two
Speaker 3: twenty as opposed to being seven to one and three
Speaker 3: forty three twenty. You see the difference? Yeah, and it
Speaker 3: you Young people grow up to be injured. Old people.
Speaker 3: You don't get healthier as you age. Right, Normally, when
Speaker 3: you have issues as a as an adolescent juvenile, what
Speaker 3: happens you carry those illnesses into adulthood. There have been
Speaker 3: times that may sometimes you get out of it. I
Speaker 3: mean you have allergies, or you have mi raids or
Speaker 3: things of that nature, and sometimes you can overcome them.
Speaker 3: But a lot of times if you are injured or
Speaker 3: you have illnesses or ailments as a youngster, you know
Speaker 3: that normally follow you into your adulthood.
Speaker 1: Go ahead, I got a good question that Chad y'all
Speaker 1: could answer this too, ap.
Speaker 5: Obviously he had the mindset. Everything is mindset when it comes.
Speaker 1: To to getting injured regards to how much money if
Speaker 1: you made? You think Embed's mindset and change at this
Speaker 1: stage in his career, despite already being rich, despite already
Speaker 1: being paid, is it possible for that hunger to still
Speaker 1: be there? Is it possible that that hunger to want
Speaker 1: to dominate and get back to where he once was
Speaker 1: when he is healthy, when he was available on the court.
Speaker 5: You think you think it's still there, because that's hard.
Speaker 1: That's the hard thing for people, especially players, especially once
Speaker 1: you make a certain amout of money, you kind of
Speaker 1: get I don't want to say you got comfortable. I'm
Speaker 1: not saying he's comfortable. Yeah, that same urge and want
Speaker 1: to and desire. Oh you know what I got to
Speaker 1: I got miles of feed you know, I got bills
Speaker 1: to pay When you already got two you're sitting on
Speaker 1: fifty million dollars already. I mean, what's the desire to
Speaker 1: come back and want to play or at least get
Speaker 1: back healthy to your dominate ways.
Speaker 2: So we have a conversation and we talk about this
Speaker 2: a lot.
Speaker 3: Is that when someone has everything, when they have fame,
Speaker 3: they have adulation, to have praise, they've made money, and
Speaker 3: they still play and they still train as if they're broke. Yeah,
Speaker 3: you look at a Lebron, you look at a Brady,
Speaker 3: you look at a Kobe, you look at a Jordan,
Speaker 3: You look at some of these guys now that's.
Speaker 2: Currently in the league that he's oyo. It's hard.
Speaker 3: When you live in an ivory tower and you got
Speaker 3: mink pajamas, it's a different It's different. Oh yo, it's
Speaker 3: what kind of pajamas?
Speaker 5: Mink? They got mink pajamas for real.
Speaker 3: I'm just saying, when you got mink slippers and silk
Speaker 3: pajamas and you can live in an ivory tower and
Speaker 3: everything is marble and hardwood, and you got and you got.
Speaker 3: He just signed an extension three years, one hundred and
Speaker 3: ninety three million. Now he still got had two years
Speaker 3: left this year, another year and then the one ninety
Speaker 3: three kicks in and to adopt the mindset I'm flat
Speaker 3: ass broke.
Speaker 5: That was the mindset I had.
Speaker 3: I wasn't making a whole lot of money, but even
Speaker 3: when I made money, I wanted them to say, Man,
Speaker 3: we're underpaying them.
Speaker 2: We got a bargain. Okay. Everybody doesn't think like that,
Speaker 2: oh Joe.
Speaker 5: And so it takes a special type of.
Speaker 3: Person to get money and still work as if they're
Speaker 3: broke destitute.
Speaker 2: So they be.
Speaker 5: Then you already you know it.
Speaker 1: And it's a funny thing when you say that that's
Speaker 1: already in you. Uh yes, for the end. It doesn't
Speaker 1: just happen once you get it. You know what, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna pretend like I ain't got no money. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: continue to train and approach my craft and my game.
Speaker 1: And if I ain't got it, So it wasn't in
Speaker 1: you before you got the money, it definitely gonna he
Speaker 1: ain't gonna be no life switch to kick on.
Speaker 5: Once you make it.
Speaker 2: Nope.
Speaker 3: And so that's why you look at the Floyd Mayweather
Speaker 3: after all those titles, that big money, he's still going
Speaker 3: after they get it. You look at some of the boxers,
Speaker 3: look at Buster Douglas, he knocked out Mike Tyson got
Speaker 3: in great shape to beat Mike Tyson, get twenty five
Speaker 3: thirty five million dollars to fight holy Field. Boom, So
Speaker 3: you you, you you can sing. That's why I have
Speaker 3: a great appreciation. You should have a great appreciation also
Speaker 3: being a former athlete and knowing coming from the trenches,
Speaker 3: getting it out of the mud, getting it out of
Speaker 3: the concrete junk. You have a greater appreciation for guys.
Speaker 3: Lebron has got that. Look at what Lebron is accomplished.
Speaker 3: Now he's currently playing and he's worth one point two
Speaker 3: one point three billion, but everybody talks about what he
Speaker 3: puts in. He gets to the arena five hours earlier,
Speaker 3: he does all this stuff.
Speaker 2: He gets his shoot around the cob, he gets stretched, he.
Speaker 5: Gets his left here.
Speaker 3: He's still doing this twenty two years in the league.
Speaker 3: Remember I said greatness is monotonous, is boring? What's spread
Speaker 3: about that he owned the bus, he in the hotels.
Speaker 3: Boom boom boom, Mike Massius doing all this. That's what
Speaker 3: I tell people. People think I wish we could have
Speaker 3: a conversation, because I did have a conversation with Jeff Bezos.
Speaker 2: I met him a couple of times.
Speaker 3: And to hear hear him talk, not at one point
Speaker 3: in time did he mention any part. Now maybe now
Speaker 3: you work two hundred and thirty billion, But at no
Speaker 3: point in time when he was building this was it
Speaker 3: glamorous because it was a grind, because it was monotonous,
Speaker 3: because it was boring. Yeah, listen, listen to who is
Speaker 3: that Larry Ellison, Look at Bill Gates, Look at Barren Buffett,
Speaker 3: Look at these guys, Mark Zuckerberg, look at these.
Speaker 2: Guys that have built things up a crew.
Speaker 3: Now, look, guys, if y'all just want to note if
Speaker 3: I'm not I'm not talking about I'm not talking about
Speaker 3: you know, I'm just saying I'm looking at it from
Speaker 3: a standpoint of being great, and I think Joel and
Speaker 3: b wanted to be great, and he can have an opportunity.
Speaker 2: I don't know if he'll ever. I don't want to
Speaker 2: say ever.
Speaker 3: But it's so hard, Oh, Joe, He's getting older, his
Speaker 3: body is failing him more. Because once upon a time,
Speaker 3: you know, when you when we were first started, oh
Speaker 3: till you're never been injured. But I could bounce back,
Speaker 3: I get a knick, I could bounce back at the
Speaker 3: end of the week.
Speaker 2: I'm ready to go.
Speaker 3: Then all of a sudden, What an injury that would
Speaker 3: have me bounce back at the end of the week. Now,
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, I miss a game. And then
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, I miss four games. Next thing,
Speaker 3: you know, I missed the whole season as I got older.
Speaker 3: Oh my body couldn't recover. Hey we could play when
Speaker 3: you young, O Joe, your first two three years.
Speaker 5: Hey, play Sunday, play Thursday. Good.
Speaker 3: Hey you want to beat me to play another? Play
Speaker 3: another game on Monday night? Left rocking roll. Then all
Speaker 3: of a sudden, I gotta get in the cold tub
Speaker 3: before practice, Gotta get in the cold tub again after practice,
Speaker 3: come early in the morning and getting the cold tub.
Speaker 3: It's just, you know, he's played just thirty nine games.
Speaker 3: He played thirty nine games last season after tearing the
Speaker 3: maniscus in his he knee. This season, the lingering knee
Speaker 3: issues combined with a foot spring have caused them to
Speaker 3: play just nineteen of fifty six games. Because what happens,
Speaker 3: O Joe, If you get a flat tire, Hey, you
Speaker 3: continually drive on that car on that flat tire. It
Speaker 3: just don't mess up the rim and the roader on
Speaker 3: that side. It death fucked your alignment. Yeah, because you're
Speaker 3: trying to compensate every the body is meant to work
Speaker 3: in unison in sequence, just like your body.
Speaker 5: You hey, you start having knee issues.
Speaker 3: Before long, you're gonna have hip problems, You're gonna have
Speaker 3: back problems, You're gonna have feet foot problems. That's just
Speaker 3: the way it is. And because you're dealing with a
Speaker 3: man his size with knee.
Speaker 1: Problems, yeah, that's bad. So let's and what were the
Speaker 1: expectation for the Sixers coming into the season.
Speaker 3: Boy, they're supposed to be they supposed to They're supposed to
Speaker 3: challenge the Celtics. You got Jorlen Bed, you got Tyree's Maxick,
Speaker 3: and you just gave Paul Georgia max contract.
Speaker 5: So you got three guys.
Speaker 3: Maxie was an all star, you we know what Joelen Beid,
Speaker 3: a former MVP finished runnerup to Nicoleon Jokics led the league,
Speaker 3: ins Corey White, Paul George we know a. He was
Speaker 3: supposed to be that third and missing peace. So the
Speaker 3: expectations were through the roof. It was supposed to be Boston,
Speaker 3: the Calves, the Knicks and the and the sixers. Those
Speaker 3: were supposed to be the team that duke it out
Speaker 3: for an opportunity?
Speaker 5: Are they? Are they even in contention? Is it?
Speaker 2: No? No?
Speaker 3: Hey, they might go ahead and go ahead and tank
Speaker 3: for Cooper Flag or that kid from Auburn or something.
Speaker 2: It's over for them.
Speaker 1: But then at that point then I think it is
Speaker 1: okay for for in beat to shut it down. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it's I think it's okay, especially at this
Speaker 1: point if you're only hurting yourself of anything, you know,
Speaker 1: you just you just to your ministians, you're coming back.
Speaker 1: Now you have a foot spray. That's that's injury on
Speaker 1: top of injury. So all you're gonna do is make
Speaker 1: it worse. Yes, all you're gonna It's like it's like
Speaker 1: getting the flat tire. You put the air back in
Speaker 1: it and instead of getting a new tire, you just
Speaker 1: plug it.
Speaker 5: At some point it's gonna go flat again.
Speaker 3: Walk around with a rocky issue, put a little rocky,
Speaker 3: put a little rocky your shoe and walk around with it.
Speaker 5: Now, that's all it's aggravating.
Speaker 3: Guess one O, you ain't gonna put no pressure on
Speaker 3: that bad because you don't want to feel that bag
Speaker 3: not watching help on the other side, watching what they do,
Speaker 3: Watch what you need in your back do because you're
Speaker 3: over compensated, because the body is donna compensate. That's what
Speaker 3: the body does. And then gets and something like hey,
Speaker 3: at some point, tiedy like you know what, you won't
Speaker 3: stop and get this rock out, I'm gonna sit you down. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that's what's gonna happen. So you're looking at it right now.
Speaker 3: The Washington of the Wizards are nineteen forty seven, the
Speaker 3: Pelicans of fourteen and forty three, Utah fourteen forty two,
Speaker 3: Charlotte fourteen and forty one, Toronto eighteen and thirty nine.
Speaker 3: The seventy six ers have the sixth worst record at
Speaker 3: twenty and thirty six. They've lost seventh straight. In last
Speaker 3: nine games, they're one and nine. Excuse me, the last
Speaker 3: ten games, they're one and nine.
Speaker 5: Well, goddamn, he should have been set it down or
Speaker 5: shut it down. He should have shut it down at
Speaker 5: the All Star break.
Speaker 2: So right now they should theoretically, but you know how
Speaker 2: the lottery is.
Speaker 3: I mean, just because you got the sixth worst record,
Speaker 3: that don't mean you're gonna get the sixth pick in
Speaker 3: the draft. Right at the number one pick they could get,
Speaker 3: they could be at the bottom of a lot of
Speaker 3: richards like fourteen to fifteen. Don't know, but I just
Speaker 3: think the thing is, at this point in time, you're
Speaker 3: not going to win a tight even if Jordan Be
Speaker 3: comes back healthy, which he's not, just.
Speaker 2: Go ahead and shut him down.
Speaker 3: Just go ahead and shut it down and give him
Speaker 3: so now he has March April, May, June, July, August, September,
Speaker 3: have this procedure and try and get back healthy for
Speaker 3: next year. Says okay, But at the rate is going,
Speaker 3: I don't really see a scenario when you Joel and
Speaker 3: Be finish his career in seventy.
Speaker 5: Six ers and you know what's gonna happen. It just works,
Speaker 5: just the way sports works. Sometimes. I think they're gonna
Speaker 5: make him. I'm not gonna call it a mistake.
Speaker 1: They're going to remove himself from having to deal with
Speaker 1: and beat and the injuries and the injury history. And
Speaker 1: you know, he's gonna go somewhere else. Ain't gonna be
Speaker 1: gonna be all world, He's gonna be all where. He's
Speaker 1: gonna be healthy, He's gonna be fine. I got guarantee
Speaker 1: it. It happens all the time. I've seen it happen multiple times.
Speaker 1: You know, if a player was on a specific team, Uh,
Speaker 1: he was very good at what he does, but due
Speaker 1: to injuries, it didn't allow him to reach his full
Speaker 1: potential with that Pacific team. He goes somewhere else after
Speaker 1: getting surgery in the offseason, having enough time to get healthy,
Speaker 1: and plays lights out and reaches the potential that he
Speaker 1: should have at a whole other team. I guarantee gonna happen.
Speaker 2: I hope that's the case.
Speaker 3: San Antonio head coach Hall of Famer Greg Popovitch is
Speaker 3: not expecting to return this season, and its future is
Speaker 3: uncertain as it recovers from a mild stroke something in November.
Speaker 3: Schams added during the appearance on the ESPN NBA count
Speaker 3: Down that pop is getting stronger and stronger in its rehalb.
Speaker 3: The news came two days after Spurs announced that Winby
Speaker 3: would be would be shut down for the rest of
Speaker 3: the season after being diagnosed with a dvt T deep
Speaker 3: vein thrombosis in.
Speaker 2: Its right shoulder.
Speaker 3: Everybody you notice on Joe, every when somebody else has
Speaker 3: a procedure, it's always mild, a mild stroke. You notice
Speaker 3: it's never mild, it's never minor surgery when it's on you, man,
Speaker 3: I'm about to have surgery. Oh you getting scold boy
Speaker 3: A it's minor. Everything is minor or mild as long
Speaker 3: as it's on somebody. Yeah, when it's on you, yeah,
Speaker 3: major major. Yeah. We know what Greg Papovich is.
Speaker 2: We know who he is. We know what he is.
Speaker 3: He's one of the greatest coaches in NBA history, some says,
Speaker 3: based on what he's been able to do in the
Speaker 3: time in which he was able to do it, he
Speaker 3: might be one or two.
Speaker 2: Mm.
Speaker 3: We know coach coach all back what he was able
Speaker 3: to do with the Celtics in the sixties.
Speaker 2: Phil Jackson has eleven titles.
Speaker 3: And pop same team, same system, Tim Duncan, Tony Parker
Speaker 3: and Manu basically and then at the tail end they
Speaker 3: got Kawhi.
Speaker 2: But uh, it's said our speedy recovery coach.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I need you back on the sideline mean UK
Speaker 3: and the reporters asking them why they asking you them questions?
Speaker 2: You watching the game, right, oh man? But hopefully yah?
Speaker 3: I said, I didn't expect him to return Ojo right,
Speaker 3: Milestroke doesn't matter Uh, that's something serious. My grandmother suffered
Speaker 3: from one of those, and uh, you know you gotta
Speaker 3: learn obviously to degree how bad how.
Speaker 2: Severe it is.
Speaker 3: But you know she had to learn how to you know,
Speaker 3: walk again and move up, you know, because normally one
Speaker 3: side of the brand and faces the opposite side of
Speaker 3: the body. So you have to relearn all that stuff again.
Speaker 3: And now I'm saying she's getting the coach pop. I
Speaker 3: can assure you it's getting the best pet possible.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 3: Uh, he's probably getting pt multiple times a day. But uh, coach,
Speaker 3: you get well soon. Uh you and Winby y'all got
Speaker 3: something special growing down there with Stephan Castle. They got
Speaker 3: they got a nice little squad brewing down there. Oh Joe,
Speaker 3: they really do. I like Vassal Huh. Oh yeah, they
Speaker 3: got they got d Fox now Darren Fox. They got Castle,
Speaker 3: they got Vassal. Uh, they got Caldon Johnson coming off
Speaker 3: the bench. CPS is you know, gives them great leadership.
Speaker 3: And then you know they got Wimen. They got that
Speaker 3: that alien seven four, can shoot the three, put the
Speaker 3: ball on the floor, can post up. He can do
Speaker 3: a lot of different things. Me personally, I think he
Speaker 3: shoots a little bit too many threes. He's one of
Speaker 3: the great He's already one of the great defenders in
Speaker 3: NBA history. So they got something special brewing. Now they
Speaker 3: just need Pop to come back, get wm be healthy,
Speaker 3: and let's see what this thing looks like in the
Speaker 3: next two to three years. Nicola Jokic, who was famously
Speaker 3: drafted in the middle of a Taco Bell kick Case
Speaker 3: Sorita commercial. He finally spoke about that. He admitted, I
Speaker 3: never had Taco Bell just because of that. Wait, he
Speaker 3: never had Taco Bell because he was drafted. They were
Speaker 3: the commercial when he was drafted, so he was in
Speaker 3: the second round. He was the sixtieth pick. Once you
Speaker 3: get passed, basically, once you get passed one through fifteen,
Speaker 3: you know, people all of a sudden they go into
Speaker 3: the bathroom going to get beer.
Speaker 2: They you know, if they have draft parties or whatever
Speaker 2: the case may be.
Speaker 3: So you know, damn well, it's not like the NBA, OJO,
Speaker 3: I mean the NFL, where you know you got good picks.
Speaker 3: You know, the second round, third round, some guys are
Speaker 3: all Americas.
Speaker 2: And going into the second and third round.
Speaker 3: So you kind of tuned in a little bit more
Speaker 3: than basketball once you get past that one through fifteen. Yeah,
Speaker 3: he was sixtieth, so he's in the second round. The
Speaker 3: hey did you go to show you? They was in
Speaker 3: commercial sixty is on Yes three time League MVP Finals MVP,
Speaker 3: one of the great players in the NBA history, was
Speaker 3: the second round pick.
Speaker 5: And asked what was wrong with his footage? Was it
Speaker 5: that bad?
Speaker 2: He was out of shape? He was? He like I said,
Speaker 2: if you look at him and hear the thing, you judge.
Speaker 2: They judged the book by his cover had had he
Speaker 2: had a three inch vertical?
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: He was a little out of shape.
Speaker 3: Of fact, they took himself, Nurkic in the first round
Speaker 3: because he was drafted. He was drafted by the Nuggets.
Speaker 3: So was you self, Nurkic? Nirkic, you went in the
Speaker 3: first round if I was taken.
Speaker 1: But I'm sure he can shoot the ball as efficient
Speaker 1: as he is right now, even with a three is vertical,
Speaker 1: I'm sure he can shoot the ball before he even
Speaker 1: got drafted.
Speaker 5: Uh, because they had to seem the potential. If they
Speaker 5: didn't see the potential.
Speaker 2: He's forty first pick. What was what was Drake what
Speaker 2: in that same draft? Right?
Speaker 3: Right, and what was what was uh yo, forty first
Speaker 3: a sixtieth? He was the sixtieth pick. M hmm, Chad
Speaker 3: l O s O T. He was not forty first,
Speaker 3: They said forty first, thirty first. Ask Ash be giving
Speaker 3: me some wrong information. He was the forty forty first
Speaker 3: pick in the draft. I mean eleven picks after the
Speaker 3: first round, after the first round because there's thirty teams,
Speaker 3: so one through thirty is the first round. So he
Speaker 3: went eleven picks into the second round. Draymond Green was
Speaker 3: a say to that second day pick, but.
Speaker 5: Is that a bad thing. That's not a bad thing,
Speaker 5: especially once you once you blossom into what you should be.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 3: But it just goes to show O Joe, some think
Speaker 3: you just can't see everything is measurable now. How can
Speaker 3: you jump? How fast can you run? How can you
Speaker 3: do this? There are certain things. He's never gonna win
Speaker 3: anything with his T shirt off and jumping and dunking
Speaker 3: and doing all that. He'ven do nothing right, right, he's hot,
Speaker 3: but put the ball in his hand.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, he come to play now.
Speaker 2: There are certain guys in the NFL. We've all seen it.
Speaker 3: We've seen guys go to the carbine, jump through the roof,
Speaker 3: touch the ceiling, the RC eight dome. We've seen guys
Speaker 3: run four to two, run four three, We've seen guys
Speaker 3: bitch French thirty five forty times.
Speaker 5: You put him in that structured environment, it's there.
Speaker 2: No show.
Speaker 3: Couldn't play dead in a horror movie. Look like tars
Speaker 3: and play like Jane. You don't know no rhyme or
Speaker 3: reason o Joe. Because some thing you can measure, you
Speaker 3: can't measure everything. What's the side of it? What makes
Speaker 3: him tick?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 2: Yeah? What makes him? What makes a guy tick? Where
Speaker 2: did it come from? How did he grow up?
Speaker 5: Isy?
Speaker 2: Hungry?
Speaker 5: Now?
Speaker 3: Because there are a lot of guys hungry that just
Speaker 3: refuse to eat. But I need a guy hungry. I'm
Speaker 3: talking about starving. That's why want you, big cotege. If
Speaker 3: I don't get this, guess well ooe. If I don't
Speaker 3: get this, my mom ain't gonna eat. If I don't
Speaker 3: get this, my graanin ain't gonna eat. If I don't
Speaker 3: get this, my kids. I got a choice. Your grandma,
Speaker 3: my grandma, my grandma gonna eat your mom my mom,
Speaker 3: my mom gonna eat.
Speaker 2: Your kids or my kids. My kids gonna my kids
Speaker 2: gonna eat. That's the way I look at it. Oho,
Speaker 2: that's the way I approach it.
Speaker 1: See now you see now you're talking about my kind
Speaker 1: of mentality right there.
Speaker 5: You hear me.
Speaker 1: That's my kind of that's my mentality. Now you understand
Speaker 1: a lot of people call me crazy. Now now, so
Speaker 1: think about this right, chat y'all stay with me for
Speaker 1: a second.
Speaker 5: Think about this right.
Speaker 1: Think about your kids behind you, all your kids right
Speaker 1: behind you, right, your grandma right, and and you in
Speaker 1: front of your kids and your grandma and your mama.
Speaker 1: And let's say James Harrison is right there trying to
Speaker 1: get to your family.
Speaker 5: What's gonna happen? Run y'all?
Speaker 1: Run, see come on, See that's my mentality. You understand me.
Speaker 1: Huh My kids behind me, all fifty leven mother and
Speaker 1: I'm in front of them, and Jans trying to get
Speaker 1: to my kids. That means I got to protect my family.
Speaker 1: So it's that mindset. I'm going into fighting him with
Speaker 1: great understanding that the bigger they are, the harder they fall. Okay,
Speaker 1: And that's what's gonna happen. And I'm just wanting to
Speaker 1: use that analogy. I didn't need to go off topic,
Speaker 1: but I'm just giving me a loss.
Speaker 3: Guys, y'all making my point. See, that's right, it's intangibles.
Speaker 3: Intangibles is what you can't measure. They're measuring his height,
Speaker 3: they're measuring his speed, they're measuring how high he can jump.
Speaker 2: That's the point, thank you. What is it that you
Speaker 2: cannot see?
Speaker 3: What is it that you cannot measure, which is what's
Speaker 3: inside of an individual?
Speaker 5: Okay, that's the difference. Yes, we know.
Speaker 3: But when you have a guy that have all those
Speaker 3: measurables and he has a burning desire that's inside of him, tada.
Speaker 3: You get Lebron James, you get a Michael Jordan, you
Speaker 3: get a Kobe, you get a Deon Sanders, you get
Speaker 3: a Lawrence Taylor. You get those guys, guys that are
Speaker 3: supremely gifted and have a burning desire to be great,
Speaker 3: an unquenchable desire.
Speaker 2: And even when.
Speaker 3: They climb to the top, they don't admire the view
Speaker 3: from the top. They find another thing. They find another
Speaker 3: summit to scare. See, it wasn't good enough for Michael
Speaker 3: Jordan Rick of the Year, I Gotta do more. It
Speaker 3: wasn't good enough for him to beat MVP I need
Speaker 3: to do more. I need to win finals, MVP. I
Speaker 3: need to win the title. Same thing Lebron. I need
Speaker 3: to be a defensive Player.
Speaker 2: Of the Year.
Speaker 3: I need to be a I need to be an
Speaker 3: All NBA player. I need to be universally regarded as
Speaker 3: the best. The de facto. That's what these guys got.
Speaker 3: You see, Tom Brady ain't got no got no vesgeables.
Speaker 3: Now you doing random worst? Forty had the worst look
Speaker 3: your body? But what was in here and what's up
Speaker 3: in there? It wasn't like he got a fifty Ryan Fitzpatrick,
Speaker 3: I think Pat McAnally might have got the high school.
Speaker 3: I think Pat McAnally got like a forty nine or fifty.
Speaker 3: Ryan Fitzpatrick got like a forty eight forty nine on
Speaker 3: the wonder legs out of a fifty. Yeah, I got
Speaker 3: a lot of guys, but yet what nah Jared ran
Speaker 3: four to six. Jared didn't run up four five. He
Speaker 3: ran a four or five when he had the ball
Speaker 3: in his hand. But that's not what he ready to combine. Yeah,
Speaker 3: Pat Mconnett, Yeah, and both guys played at Cincinnati. Y'all
Speaker 3: get some smart ones. I don't know what happened once
Speaker 3: they get there. The man got a fifty, and if
Speaker 3: I'm not mistaken, I think Pat Mcanello might be the
Speaker 3: only guy who's ever gotten fifty.
Speaker 5: He got perfect U.
Speaker 2: Yep, yeah, I think I was man.
Speaker 5: I was so close.
Speaker 2: Hey, speaking of Mike Mamoula Boston College.
Speaker 3: Oo yo, got a forty nut on the wonder leg
Speaker 3: goes there like two sixty runs, four or five border
Speaker 3: vernical that's out of standing, long jump like eleven feet
Speaker 3: very thing.
Speaker 5: Could he play?
Speaker 3: Coacho saying about the recess about five times a day.
Speaker 3: Still couldn't play another guy. Vernon Goldston had all those measurables,
Speaker 3: Ohio State, go back and look it up. Look at
Speaker 3: it looked like a Greek god.
Speaker 5: Couldn't play.
Speaker 3: You don't get there is no rhyme or reason, O Joe,
Speaker 3: that you look at somebody like can't miss.
Speaker 2: He's a can't miss.
Speaker 3: Ain't no such thing as can't There's no such thing
Speaker 3: as all of every but you know you put this like, man,
Speaker 3: ain't no way, bro. I'm like, look like that, bro,
Speaker 3: you got to be able to do something. Ain't going
Speaker 3: by the eye tests, And it wasn't. Oh Joe, he
Speaker 3: was amazing in college yeah.
Speaker 1: And college and the prose is completely different, whether with
Speaker 1: the people believe it or not, completely different ball game.
Speaker 3: The Celtics had a little bit of a run, had
Speaker 3: a little fun with Jaylen Brown clising him on musicians
Speaker 3: new and old.
