00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,720

00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 1: of EPI pen. You like you got that pen? Yeah,

00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: sure you have it on hand. Yeah, I mean, look,

47
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: I heard Spike Lee once told you that you you

48
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: are the future? Is this you know?

49
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 5: Actually, I don't like to boast a lot. I don't

50
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 5: want to be known as kind of a narcissist. But

51
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 5: that one, I'm holding one to that for the rest

52
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 5: of my life. It has not come out yet. I

53
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,959
Speaker 5: think it comes out probably next fall. But I was

54
00:02:56,040 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 5: interviewed for the Colan Kaepernick documentary for being a Spike

55
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 5: League uh directed, And so I got to go to

56
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 5: Brooklyn and go to a studio and record with him.

57
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 4: And I tell people this all the time.

58
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 5: I want I want to I want to think that

59
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 5: Spike new read all my work and was just so

60
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 5: impressed that he said I think he just meant you

61
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 5: as in, young people are the future of this but.

62
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: Me.

63
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 3: But also I got to say, like an impressive turnaround

64
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 3: between like I don't like to brag and then bragging.

65
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 2: It's like on, it's up there with rappers, delight.

66
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 3: I don't mean to brag, I don't mean to boast,

67
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 3: but we're like hot butter on breakfast toast like exactly,

68
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 3: you know, from one sentence to the next.

69
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I like it. I was like, you know, whatever,

70
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: this is it's just a disclaimer.

71
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 2: You know, I believe Martenzi is the future.

72
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: That's what he cated it, right, and he will lead

73
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: the way you reach away. Yeah, I actually need to

74
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: start taking that more literally because actually I was once

75
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: in a group of like young people with like a

76
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: state like senator and they're like, and you guys are

77
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: the future. And I'm like, oh my gosh, I need

78
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: to put that on my bio. I'm like, did you

79
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: did y'all hear that about you?

80
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 2: I'm obsessed with me.

81
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 1: I'm the future. I'm like, I barely have any stuff

82
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: out right now, but you could tell that's crazy? Thank

83
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 1: you something. Oh you know who actually said that? It was?

84
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: It was actually a House of Representatives. It was Elijah

85
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 1: Cummings who told like, this was I could tell no,

86
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 1: this is like, which is wild civil rights icon Elijah Cummings.

87
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: I remember, this is like when I was working in

88
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: politics and it was like me and a group of

89
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: young political activists, like consultant type people, and he's like,

90
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: and you guys are the future. And I remember I

91
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: should have like, I need to put that on my bio.

92
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: Elijah Cummings, you are the future. Thank you so much.

93
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,719
Speaker 1: Rest in peace, Elijah Commings. Anyway, welcome to the show.

94
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 1: I guess we should just start talking at the state

95
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:01,160
Speaker 1: of the Milwaukee Bucks, you know, Warren six over the

96
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 1: last ten I'm like, is it is everything? Okay? It was?

97
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: I was asking jab before this, I'm like, is this

98
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 1: panic time or is this a doc Rivers bias?

99
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 4: Yeah?

100
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 5: Uh, let me let me just start by saying Jabari

101
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 5: did not tell me we'd be talking to Bucks, and

102
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 5: if he had to that I would not come on here.

103
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 1: For me.

104
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 4: Uh he mentioned none of this, but uh, yeah, it's

105
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 4: not good. Uh it is the best way to put it.

106
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 5: Like you said there two and five, I think, yeah,

107
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 5: I got there. They weren't playing exactly great before, but

108
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 5: at least the record was better. So before it was

109
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 5: the process was bad, but the results were great, and

110
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 5: now the results are bad, and according to people in Milwaukee,

111
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 5: the process is great. I've missed some of the games,

112
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 5: but like, if you're losing, I don't think the process

113
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 5: is all that great. But for the game I saw

114
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 5: last I don't remember. I think that was the Hornets, which, yeah, whatever, But.

115
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: When we saw the nasty sham guy who's.

116
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 4: Some respects is his name.

117
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 5: Yeah, I know people like to pick on him, but

118
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 5: uh yeah, he shows you can't.

119
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 4: He's a real NBA player, just the fifteenth man.

120
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I gotta say, like, just just so I'm a

121
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 3: Sixers fan. I remember when we exported James Harden to

122
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 3: the Clippers. They had a rough start, and then the

123
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 3: seventy six ERSNSS kind of washed off of him through repetition,

124
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 3: and now they're one of the best teams in the league.

125
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 3: So I will just say sometimes it takes a seventy

126
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 3: six Ers export a couple reps to just like get

127
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 3: the negative energy off of them. And so I would

128
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 3: give yourself a little bit of time, maybe a couple

129
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 3: more games, and then you're gonna go on like a

130
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 3: wild winning streak.

131
00:06:55,800 --> 00:07:00,160
Speaker 4: That's Is this a metaphor about Pat bit or Doc Rivers.

132
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:01,359
Speaker 2: The Doc Rivers doctor?

133
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, because yeah, I mean I remember the last

134
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 3: time I was like, see when James Harden went there,

135
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 3: I was like, see, it's he's not that.

136
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 2: And then of course he's good. He's really good.

137
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: Yeah.

138
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 2: I knew he was good. I knew he was good

139
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 2: last season a counter.

140
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 5: I mean, we've seen James Harden be great in the

141
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 5: regular season, and then it's the same most story in

142
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 5: the playoffs, So like, you know, wait until June before

143
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 5: you completely buy into your theory that he watched all

144
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 5: the seventy six ers off of him. But yeah, it's

145
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 5: not great for the Bucks that you have to not

146
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 5: only fire a coach midseason, but then hire a completely

147
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 5: new one.

148
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 4: I didn't even go to the interim route. There was like, no,

149
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 4: we're gonna.

150
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 5: Completely clean break yeah clean, Blake replaced everything with Doc Rivers,

151
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 5: which I mean, obviously he's had success if you win

152
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 5: championship in Nbaly, but so many people can say that.

153
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 5: But at the same time, I don't know how to

154
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 5: put this other than I don't like his vibe.

155
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 2: I believe Doc Rivers a few I don't.

156
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 5: I just kidding, but I mean, even how he got

157
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 5: here if you believe the athletics reporting, but if he can,

158
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 5: if we can give it some.

159
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 4: Time, seven games is not enough, I don't think.

160
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 5: I mean, Adrian Griffin got thirties to my game, so

161
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 5: you know, give it some time. But I didn't like

162
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 5: what I saw in the beginning of the season, even

163
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 5: when they went on that win streak with a lot

164
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 5: of those time like one of the one of those

165
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 5: games I believe was the one and Dame hit the

166
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 5: game winner.

167
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 4: So there's a lot to want more from this team.

168
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 5: Obviously, the partnership of him and Dame, the health of

169
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:49,959
Speaker 5: christ Middleton, is brook Lopez still a defensive star.

170
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 4: Wark, it's still a question.

171
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 5: But if they have stability now, if the players believe

172
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 5: in their coach, which it was clear even before they

173
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 5: it felt like that they did not believe in Adrian Griffin,

174
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 5: then actually there can be some optimism, but until then.

175
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 4: It looks rough.

176
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: Yeah.

177
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 3: I do love just talking about each each party believing

178
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 3: in the other, right, I did love.

179
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 2: This felt very.

180
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 3: Familiar to me as a Sixers fan when Doc was

181
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 3: like and I wouldn't wish this assignment on my worst enemy,

182
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 3: having to coach this team. I mean, you didn't say

183
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 3: it about you didn't say it about the team in particular.

184
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 3: He was like having to pick up a new But

185
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 3: it just felt like, I don't know, maybe I would

186
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,959
Speaker 3: be like, I'm getting to coach the best player in

187
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 3: the world like this, and then like one of the

188
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 3: most clutch players and greatest scorers of the past twenty years.

189
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:49,439
Speaker 1: I wouldn't wish that on my enemy.

190
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like I'm waking up from a dream,

191
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:53,119
Speaker 3: like this is amazing.

192
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 2: Uh And yeah, so I could see how that might

193
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 2: like rub people the wrong way.

194
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 3: But then sometimes maybe you need that initial like who

195
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,680
Speaker 3: does this man think he is to like get get

196
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 3: all the energy right, so that they don't feel like

197
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 3: they've got a coach that they can just like push

198
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 3: around and cancel out.

199
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, they, like you said, they sort of needed someone

200
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 5: in charge before Adrian Griffin got fired. Giannis is there

201
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 5: is on the bitch drawn up plays. We heard the

202
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 5: reporting that he would just ignore whatever Adrian was telling

203
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 5: him to do. He's arguing with the coach of when

204
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 5: he goes in and out of the game, Bobby Portis,

205
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 5: I believe snapped on him at least more than once,

206
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 5: including at the nd season tournament. So it's like, if

207
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 5: you don't have the respect of your players, despite they

208
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 5: want in spite of that, so kudos to them, But

209
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 5: if you don't have the respect of your players, like

210
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 5: right now, it's fine it's the regular season, but you're

211
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:49,559
Speaker 5: gonna need that in a postseason. So maybe it was

212
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 5: good that the Bucks cut bait already. But like I said,

213
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 5: it's just bad vibes all around. For this team to

214
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 5: have gotten to this point, to have gone through essentially

215
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 5: three coaches and it's only.

216
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 4: Been like eight months, it's just not good.

217
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: Were you surprised how quickly they showed Adrian the door

218
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: or were you like it's coming based on sort of

219
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 1: what you're meeting, because I you know, like if the

220
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 1: reporting also was true, was that it wasn't so much

221
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 1: that they wanted him, They just didn't want Nick Nurse.

222
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 1: So it was like, well, do you want anybody or

223
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: just more like I can tolerate this coach and maybe

224
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: from there that means the clock starts ticking because just

225
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 1: that level of respect or you know whatever, just isn't

226
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,439
Speaker 1: there to have a team, you know, humming along.

227
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was.

228
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 5: I was only shocked by it because before Doc Rivers

229
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:35,959
Speaker 5: popped up, I didn't think that they would do the

230
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 5: interim route, because you're essentially throwing the season away by

231
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 5: doing that. Like Joe Frunt, Like, I mean, he's he's

232
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 5: helped the Bucks a little in the past, but like

233
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 5: he's not exactly championship coach. So I just assume they'll

234
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 5: just ride it out and if things don't get better,

235
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 5: if there's another first or second round exit, then okay

236
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 5: and it's over.

237
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 4: You can restart fresh.

238
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 5: But I didn't think that they would do it misdseason

239
00:11:58,040 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 5: because you'd be punching on the season.

240
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 4: When came I was like, Okay, that makes more.

241
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 5: Sense because he at least has a proven coach here,

242
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,079
Speaker 5: and I think you needed probably a championship for Eastern

243
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 5: Western Conference championship caliber coach to do that, and so

244
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 5: they got that. But no, I thought they would just

245
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 5: write it out just for a simple fact.

246
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 4: It's like, he's new. You all knew that, right. You

247
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 4: knew that when when when.

248
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 5: You hired him, when Giannis resigned, when you got Dame,

249
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 5: you knew that you were dealing with a freshman coach,

250
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 5: So like, why give up so easily if you knew

251
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:30,559
Speaker 5: that this was going to be your process.

252
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 4: So that was the surprising part.

253
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 5: But again, once I saw Doc River's name pop up

254
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 5: as a possibility, I was like, oh, yeah, they're going

255
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 5: with Doc, because you wouldn't fire someone if you didn't

256
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,199
Speaker 5: have a plan. At least I don't think.

257
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: You right, right, especially with all these players that you've

258
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 1: already you know, have in place, And yeah, you can't

259
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 1: really waste time, but what about it?

260
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 3: And it's actually impossible not to hire once you have

261
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 3: the idea that we might hire Doc Rivers, it's actually

262
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 3: impossible not to hire him.

263
00:12:55,840 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 2: That's actually been proven. Yeah, it's like a Harry Potter thing, right, physics.

264
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 1: I think. Now, what about Dame? Are you how are

265
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 1: you feeling about Dame? I mean, you know, he has

266
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 1: his moments, he also does really well and like in

267
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 1: the postseason and things like that, But are you you know,

268
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: what's your assessment so far? Does it feel like that

269
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 1: was the right move and we just need to let

270
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: it work out? Are you kind of be like?

271
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 6: See, yeah, so I'm impartial to Drew Holliday because just

272
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 6: watching him play defense for the last three years, Like,

273
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 6: I don't think there's just anyone better as far as

274
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:32,559
Speaker 6: the point guard.

275
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 5: To do it, So you don't want to give that up,

276
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 5: right At the same time, is Dame literally like you.

277
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:38,680
Speaker 4: Kind of have to do it?

278
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 5: And not to mention with Chris Middleton this injury aside

279
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 5: recently like he's almost literally on his last legs and

280
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 5: asn't seen this year, he's not capable of being the

281
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 5: consistent number two score that he used to be and

282
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 5: so that would have thrown Drew Holliday into that position

283
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 5: and regular season aside, like Drew Ate that good at

284
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 5: that in the playoffs and so you could run it

285
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 5: back like you did last year and really the year

286
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 5: before with Drew as or number two options. So they

287
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 5: had to get someone if his Dame by all means now,

288
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 5: does he leave some stuff to the imagination on the

289
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 5: defensive side, Absolutely, And that's part of the problems that

290
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 5: they're having here is he he does not try. I've

291
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 5: seen him try it spurts, but most of the time

292
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 5: he's not trying. So that impacts them a lot. And

293
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 5: so the defense is not exactly terrible because they're the

294
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 5: middle of the pack, but it's not what it's been

295
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 5: for the last five years on a Bootenholzer.

296
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 4: So that's not great.

297
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 5: But at this point, with how he's playing defense, with

298
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 5: how Bess playing defense again, I mentioned Brooke Loveez, who

299
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 5: I thought was defense player a year last year didn't

300
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 5: win it whatever, He's not that this year. People can

301
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 5: score him at the at the rim with ease compared

302
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 5: to what they used to. It's going to take Dame

303
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 5: time all throughout the postseason for the Bucks to even

304
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 5: have a chance, I think, because the defense ain't gonna

305
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 5: be there. So at least score one hundred and twenty

306
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 5: one hundred and twenty five points a game. That's all

307
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 5: they got, and we've seen spurts of dame time. Obviously,

308
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 5: the game winner, I think it gets the Kings if

309
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 5: I recall correctly. But he's gonna need to do that

310
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 5: day in day out once they get to April and May,

311
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 5: because if not, if you thought it was bad last

312
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 5: year losing in the first round to the AC, it'd

313
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 5: be worse this year.

314
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 1: Right, And I guess one word to describe Pat Beverly

315
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 1: on the Bucks, Okay, and.

316
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 2: There that was there worth, there was there was more

317
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 2: of a sound utterance.

318
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 1: It didn't have to be word. It could be an

319
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 1: energetic you know, something that describes the feeling, you know,

320
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: something abstract. And that was fine.

321
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's it's two words.

322
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 4: But game two, let me just see what he does

323
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 4: in the second game. Yeah, rather than just running.

324
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 5: Off the high of his debut the other night again

325
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 5: against the Hornets.

326
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: But yeah, but game hey, he was he was drawing

327
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: up some plays like you know, he's in there. He's dedicated,

328
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 1: so we'd like to see it.

329
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 2: Should we should we take a break?

330
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: Yeah?

331
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 2: Back, we'll talk. We'll talk to some All Star weekend.

332
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a lot some things happening. I guess this

333
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 1: All Star week Yeah.

334
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 2: All right, we'll be right and we're back.

335
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 1: We're back.

336
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 3: This is our hundredth episode on this you know, our

337
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 3: hundredth episode feels appropriate to reflect on an equally impressive

338
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 3: one hundred, the time Chamberlain scored one hundred in a

339
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 3: single game. The sixty second anniversary's coming up, and just

340
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 3: as nobody thought it was possible for a weekly basketball

341
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 3: podcast make it to one hundred episode, yep, a lot

342
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 3: of people didn't think a single NBA player would make

343
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 3: it to one hundred. But the stuff that we like,

344
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 3: there's a lot we don't know about that game, but

345
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 3: I was, I was actually reading through the stuff we

346
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 3: do know. There were four thousand people in attendance.

347
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 2: Which is wild.

348
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 3: It was just like half of the arena happened in Hershey, Pennsylvania.

349
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 3: The game held the record for most points scored by

350
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 3: both teams is currently fourth all time and regulation points,

351
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:14,400
Speaker 3: and the Knicks started fouling other players to keep Wilt

352
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 3: from scoring. It was like a reverse hack a shack

353
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:21,160
Speaker 3: where they would foul anyone else to keep the ball

354
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 3: out of Wilt's hands. And yeah, they just like kind

355
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 3: of decided they were going to do this at halftime.

356
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 2: They were like this this is It was almost like

357
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 2: they were they were so bored. Yeah, They're like, this

358
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 2: is like do something. This was this would be fun.

359
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:40,360
Speaker 4: What you see as boredom, I see as.

360
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 5: Uh they were like, I'll be damn if Will chamber

361
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 5: scores one hundred points. I mean it didn't work, But

362
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 5: because no one wants to be on the other side

363
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,120
Speaker 5: of a historic moment, this is Wilt Chamberlain.

364
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 4: I have an example that iconic.

365
00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 5: Lob from uh Duane Wade to Lebron James. You know

366
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 5: what team they were playing when they did that, now

367
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 5: the Milwaukee Bucks.

368
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 4: So I have to be when people were like, oh,

369
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,640
Speaker 4: it's the greatest photo ever. It happened.

370
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 1: Like what Jersey said was in the background, just don't

371
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:15,680
Speaker 1: don't is Ai man there?

372
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 2: You're like take out his legs. Yeah, I was saying.

373
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 3: The Warriors were kind of doing it out like they

374
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 3: were like, man, will Scott forty something, which isn't unheard of.

375
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 3: What if like he scored one hundred, that'd be I mean,

376
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,120
Speaker 3: that'd be something. And it was like a huge deal.

377
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 3: It did, like he was on the Ed Sullivan or

378
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 3: one of those old guy shows, like the next night.

379
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 3: It was like a big deal for basketball, like they started.

380
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 1: It helped.

381
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:47,199
Speaker 3: I think NBC was thinking about canceling their contract and

382
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 3: they were like, well, this is something.

383
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 2: There's an actual star. He was only in his third year.

384
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 3: Also, just a blend of like how impressive it is

385
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 3: with how long ago it was. The starting center for

386
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 3: the Knicks was out with quote influenza that was widely

387
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 3: suspected to be a hangover.

388
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 1: I love that kind of cover. He's out with influenza. Yeah,

389
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:10,400
Speaker 1: sorry not to wow.

390
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 2: With the old mad mad Men flew.

391
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, but anyways, he played an every minute of seventy

392
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 3: nine out of eighty games that season.

393
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 2: Every minute.

394
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,120
Speaker 1: So I don't know, that's why they don't make them

395
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 1: like they used to.

396
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 2: Huh Hey, am I right, that's just wild.

397
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:34,920
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, hey if Will did it, man, what's your excuse? Man?

398
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:38,160
Speaker 1: Was seventy nine games without the help of modern medicine.

399
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 3: But I just wanted to put it in perspective, how impressive,

400
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:45,120
Speaker 3: what we've done. Yeah, is it is like Wilt's hundred

401
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 3: point game? Really the equivalent in many ways. Historians are

402
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 3: saying we.

403
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 1: Will be honored at halftime. That's All Star Game. I

404
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 1: know they're bringing us on the court and a three

405
00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 1: D holographic Wilt Chamberlain will be giving us an award. Say, fellas,

406
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 1: you did something even I couldn't dream of. Congrats on

407
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 1: one hundred. Anyway, Sorry to spoil, but look out for.

408
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 3: What's everybody most excited abou about All Star weekend. I mean,

409
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 3: I'm I'm excited about the glass court, the led glass Court.

410
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 1: I'm curious to see how that works. It's gonna look

411
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 1: like a video game, That's what it is.

412
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 5: Wild truly, I feel the same exact way. I'm looking

413
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 5: very much to this led court and not much else.

414
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 5: Maybe Steph Curry. I will be excited about Steph and Sabrina. Yes,

415
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 5: Steph takes it seriously. Do not take it lightly on her.

416
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 5: Treat her like a competitor. We want equality.

417
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 1: Treat her like she can shoot too, because that's the thing.

418
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:41,919
Speaker 1: If he messes around, she's gonna come to play. I

419
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 1: was watching her record breaking performance in the All Star

420
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,360
Speaker 1: Game for the WNBA, and I was like, if well,

421
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,120
Speaker 1: what's out. But it's funny you're talking about the dunk

422
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 1: contest because we're like, okay, who's in the dunk Contest?

423
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:55,680
Speaker 1: We got Jalen Brown, we got Jacob Toppin, Haimi hawkas

424
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 1: junior and returning champion Mac McClung of the Osciola Magic,

425
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 1: and I was like, wait this. I'm like, he's in

426
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,439
Speaker 1: the G League. And then you know, I didn't realize

427
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 1: that he was going between like the G League last

428
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:10,640
Speaker 1: year when he won. But it's wild, just like looking

429
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:13,159
Speaker 1: at this lineup. My first thing was like, look, I

430
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 1: went to U c l A. I'm a big Heimi

431
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 1: Hawkeys fan, and I'm like himing, what do you? What

432
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 1: are you doing there?

433
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 3: And then his game doesn't exploit his game does not

434
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 3: suggest I want to see this man of the dunk conk.

435
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,680
Speaker 1: No, however, who put who put us on? Was that

436
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 1: Jabarb's at you Jack? That was me.

437
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 2: I had heard that there is I had heard tell.

438
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 3: Of a high school dunk contest with him and Drake London,

439
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:41,479
Speaker 3: the NBA or NFL player Drake London and the.

440
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,919
Speaker 1: The dunks that Heimi Hawk has is hitting are I

441
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 1: didn't realize. I was like, I'm sorry, I was as

442
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 1: much as in the beginning, I was like, okay, we're fine.

443
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:49,640
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, sir, you almost hit your face

444
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 1: on the rim multiple times while jumping over people. And

445
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, so he might reveal a new dimension

446
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 1: to people in the league, so there's something there. And

447
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 1: then I was like, would Jacob Topping. I'm like, you what,

448
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 1: I'm again not familiar with his dunking prowess. I know

449
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 1: his brother, you know, was in the.

450
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:10,400
Speaker 3: Legacy admission, but it's uh yeah, but nobody's actually seen

451
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:12,959
Speaker 3: him dunk. But just based on you know, his his

452
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:16,360
Speaker 3: work and his family's legacy, they're gonna they're gonna get

453
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:17,640
Speaker 3: let him give it a try.

454
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 1: For a second, I thought Obi Toppin was what his

455
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 1: real name was, Jacob and he was going by Obi

456
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 1: at the end of Jacob to be Obie Topping, and

457
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:31,680
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, no, no, Ja Kobe, Yeah, yeah.

458
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:32,679
Speaker 3: I mean Brown and Hawks there are two of the

459
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 3: better players to have been in the dunk contest, So

460
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 3: I mean, if they can bring something that would be

461
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 3: pretty pretty exciting.

462
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:41,679
Speaker 1: I have feel like this will probably be like a

463
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,439
Speaker 1: very underrated dunk contest because, like I said, I was like,

464
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:46,639
Speaker 1: the second I saw Haimi Hawkins, I'm like, that's not

465
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 1: that's not Hoimi hawk as his game. And then you

466
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 1: like watch him in high school and I'm like, oh,

467
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,919
Speaker 1: this kid just wanted to like he was throwing his

468
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 1: body at the rim with reckless abandon and I'm like, Okay,

469
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 1: if that kid shows up, then we're gonna see something interesting.

470
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:00,680
Speaker 1: Because he was one where.

471
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 3: He jumps over somebody Windmills, loses the ball. I think

472
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,640
Speaker 3: he's like still growing and his hand isn't big enough,

473
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 3: loses the ball and still like dunks it with his

474
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 3: el like the inside of his elbow because he's up

475
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:12,200
Speaker 3: so hot.

476
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:16,359
Speaker 1: It's pretty wild, almost like shatters his orbital like his

477
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:20,359
Speaker 1: cheekbone on the rim. But yeah, I think it's gonna

478
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 1: be It's gonna it's gonna be something. I mean, I

479
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 1: think you think Tyrese Haliburton will put on a show

480
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 1: for the for the home fans over there.

481
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:31,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean he's been he's been looking Spike.

482
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 1: He's been able to just little highlights more and more

483
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:34,680
Speaker 1: than these last couple of weeks, and I'm like, well,

484
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 1: let's see let's see because.

485
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 5: Himself recently he threw it off the glass like everyone

486
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 5: else because he's like premiere point guard.

487
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:47,639
Speaker 4: At this point, he's like, no, I'm gonna get an

488
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 4: assist out of his.

489
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, wide open corner.

490
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:54,679
Speaker 1: I mean it kind of you kind of break the

491
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 1: matrix because you're like, oh, he went off the glass,

492
00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 1: usually to yourself to finish, but he's like, watch me

493
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 1: break the form, dish it out to the corner.

494
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, we can, and I can.

495
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 5: Be honest, I don't know about you all, Like it's impressive,

496
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 5: but the most swaggerless value or self value have I

497
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:11,119
Speaker 5: ever seen in my life?

498
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,919
Speaker 4: Like I don't off the board. I don't want you

499
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 4: to then pass the ball. The whole point is trace

500
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 4: McGrady passed it all the way.

501
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:20,119
Speaker 5: If Kobe passed all the way, we would not be

502
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:22,640
Speaker 5: talking about it, you know what I'm saying, Like you're

503
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 5: like six foot four, I imagine like dump the ball, you

504
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 5: got it.

505
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 1: Yeah.

506
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 3: Although I kind of like because that we've been seeing

507
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 3: off the backboard as like a move like this just

508
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,959
Speaker 3: being a casual move to like get get your dribble

509
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 3: back essentially is like is interesting to me, Like what

510
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:40,440
Speaker 3: if this is just a new dimension in the game

511
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:42,440
Speaker 3: that people are opening up that it's like, yeah, and

512
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna throw it off the backboard to get,

513
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 3: you know, for it, Like it's it's not that big

514
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 3: a deal to throw it off the backboard, right.

515
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 1: I feel like players like Chat and Wemby could probably

516
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 1: exploit that very well for themselves, and it starts becoming

517
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 1: a thing that you start watching like kids and like

518
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 1: an under twelve year old league start doing because.

519
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 3: They're just like a new dimension feeding somebody inside is

520
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 3: You're just like throwing off the backboard to them, just

521
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 3: like a wall ball pass.

522
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,679
Speaker 1: Who emerges victorious between East and West Martenzie.

523
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go, Oh, they won't have him beat. I'll

524
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 4: go West.

525
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 5: I think with with no embiid And honestly, I don't

526
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,160
Speaker 5: know why Dame is starting, so yeah, I'll go I'll

527
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 5: go with the West.

528
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:32,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, two Bucks in the starting lineup? Yeah yeah,

529
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 2: who would have thought, right?

530
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:36,880
Speaker 1: Yeah? I know? And me watching it, I'm like, wow,

531
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,359
Speaker 1: Malie Beasley is playing in the three point contest. I

532
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 1: was just watching that young man last year and it

533
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:42,640
Speaker 1: was not the same.

534
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,440
Speaker 5: This is a very napolist, like All Star game where

535
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:48,680
Speaker 5: you got a bunch of Bucks players running around here.

536
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 4: It's in Indianapolis.

537
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:52,919
Speaker 5: There will be no Joel and be slacking some it's

538
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 5: not lacking in star power, but you know what I mean,

539
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 5: but it's very very it's very who's yours All Star game?

540
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:03,359
Speaker 5: But yeah, I got the West, like Lebron and Steph

541
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 5: Curry seem to take this seriously. Uh right, and so

542
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 5: well Lebron when he plays the entire game.

543
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:11,679
Speaker 1: But so yeah, I.

544
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,640
Speaker 4: See more so the West, West and the East. Yes, yeah,

545
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 4: I think too.

546
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, when you're also like you're like Steph is

547
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 1: on the bench, Yeah, yeah, yeah, I like I like

548
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 1: what I see coming off that bench too. Yeah for sure,

549
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:25,680
Speaker 1: for sure. Yeah.

550
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:30,920
Speaker 3: Steph had, by the way, great game winner. Oh just unbelievable.

551
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 1: That was against Phoenix, right, yes, yeah was someone? Was

552
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 1: it Booker or someone? After he's like, we should have known,

553
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:39,159
Speaker 1: you know, that's really on us, Like there's no.

554
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 2: I mean they did though they overplayed him.

555
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:44,399
Speaker 3: The pass was like wild that he caught, Like it

556
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 3: was like just kind of tossed out there. He it

557
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 3: was like a scramble scramble for the ball. They like

558
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 3: kind of threw a fifty to fifty ball up for

559
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 3: grabs and then he went and got it, and yeah,

560
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:54,120
Speaker 3: you know.

561
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:57,719
Speaker 5: How it happened is Bradley Beal went for the steal,

562
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:01,199
Speaker 5: which for any other player, sure, but with Steph Curry,

563
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:05,199
Speaker 5: you run the king exactly what he did, like just

564
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 5: man him up, like let him get the ball and

565
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 5: then like at least put a hand in his face,

566
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 5: but you blue past him and then this man again

567
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 5: it's the most acrobatic, crazy shot you've ever seen in

568
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 5: your life. But I don't want to leave it up

569
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 5: the chance, Like I rather guard him than try and make.

570
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 1: The steal, right, which yeah, and also it could a

571
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 1: lot of good memories too, Seth the playing for the

572
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 1: Hornets and in his dad's number thirty Jersey. It was

573
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:29,879
Speaker 1: a very heartening, heartening time for the Curry family. So

574
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,160
Speaker 1: good to see it, especially old heads like me when

Speaker 5: Take a what a down soda cans, smash it and

624
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 5: then you put it on the line and the other

625
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 5: person puts it in a line, and then you try

626
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 5: and throw the basketball and hit it. Uh, And the

627
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 5: winner who hits it the most wins. It's a very

628
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 5: Milwaukee thing that we do. I'm not great at it,

629
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 5: but it just shows precision and your ability to hit

630
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 5: a target.
