1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:01,200
Speaker 1: Is this in an order? Fan?

2
00:00:01,680 --> 00:00:06,280
Speaker 2: That's okay, There's there's no way, there's no way. Obviously

3
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:08,600
Speaker 2: we got Steph on there, we got KD, we got Jordan.

4
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:10,800
Speaker 2: But I think it is bringing this up because at

5
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 2: number four we got Joel Embiid for sure, and so

6
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 2: an incredible player MVP, but top fifteen pure scorer all time.

7
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 3: And also what is pure scorer?

8
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 4: Me?

9
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 5: I know that's they gotta fine the depth and it

10
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 5: is pure score on all three levels, no matter what

11
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 5: the situation.

12
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 3: That's my assumption. I'm just gonna go out on a limit.

13
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 3: I don't know. I might even know the person who

14
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 3: wrote it, but I think this list is a crime.

15
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 1: This is tough.

16
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 4: Okay, this is this is this, ain't it?

17
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 2: Welcome to another episode of Point Game, one of my

18
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,319
Speaker 2: favorite episodes. Already I already know it because we got

19
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 2: a lot of great basketball to talk about.

20
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 3: We got college and we got NBA going at the

21
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 3: same time we've been talking about this is an awesome

22
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 3: time of the year, a lot of big moments, a

23
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 3: lot of big players.

24
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 2: I want to talk about on the men's and women's side.

25
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 2: It how was your last week since we last spoke.

26
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:23,680
Speaker 5: Everything's good, bro, you know, like you said, NCAA tournament

27
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,639
Speaker 5: March madness. You know, it puts a smile on everybody's face.

28
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,559
Speaker 5: Is basketball all day when them games are on. So yep,

29
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 5: me and my kids and my family been sitting back

30
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 5: watching games and talking about all the games. So it's

31
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,759
Speaker 5: been dope. Like it's been a good you know, first

32
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 5: two rounds for the most part.

33
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 2: This is like the only time of the year where

34
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,399
Speaker 2: it's okay, And especially now that I got two kids,

35
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 2: I'm like the TV just stays on, you know, like

36
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 2: no other time of the year is the TV on

37
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 2: as much as it is right now because I'm obviously

38
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 2: locked into the team I'm watching. Help Purdue, who's still

39
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 2: in it? Curious actually curious who you're rooting.

40
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 3: For since Washington's on it? It who you who you

41
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 3: really glued onto right now?

42
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: I mean I like Purdue. I like Brandon Smith.

43
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 5: I got yeah, I built their little relationship with him

44
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 5: over the summer this past year, so I'm shout out

45
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 5: to him and being the all time assists leader in

46
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 5: NCAA history, So that was dope.

47
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,919
Speaker 1: I I gotta check my bracket.

48
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 5: I think I had Arizona winning though it's either Arizona

49
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 5: or Michigan. Michigan or the two teams where I've seen

50
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 5: them in person this year, and I was surprised with

51
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 5: how good those teams are. They're well coached, they got

52
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,079
Speaker 5: seasoned vets that's been around the you know, the college

53
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:38,119
Speaker 5: ranks for a little bit.

54
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: So those are my two favorites.

55
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 5: I gotta I gotta get back to you on which

56
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 5: one I picked in the whole thing.

57
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 2: Now, Well, okay, so let's start with the men's side.

58
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 2: What were some of the biggest surprises. Obviously there's been

59
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 2: a couple of upsets. There's some teams still in it

60
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 2: right now. There's some players who we've been talking about

61
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 2: all year obviously have been in the spotlight, who are

62
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 2: balanced out of the tournament, which has been interesting, but

63
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 2: they had incredible performances. So what do you even want

64
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 2: to start what you want to start with teams? You

65
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 2: want to start with players.

66
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 3: What are you feeling?

67
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: And we can start with players our team.

68
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 2: Let's start with players, because the one guy you've been

69
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 2: talking about, Darius Acuff over in Arkansas, I mean one

70
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 2: of the three guys I want to talk about who

71
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 2: are just putting up NBA numbers, who I know they're

72
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,959
Speaker 2: doing something right when you got NBA players who are

73
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 2: taking you know, real estate on their social media to

74
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 2: call them out and be like, well, you know the

75
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 2: league is waiting, but do your thing right now. What

76
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 2: do you think about his performance so far in the

77
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 2: first two rounds.

78
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: Amazing. One of the best guys I've seen in years.

79
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 5: Like we got to give him his flowers every big

80
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 5: game this year, he's taking control of it. He's been

81
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 5: the best player on the floor almost every game that

82
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 5: he's been a part of. The numbers he's putting up

83
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 5: in the NCAA tournament are crazy, and he's doing it

84
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 5: within the offense, He's doing it super efficient. Like he's

85
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 5: definitely I think if a team that needs a point guard,

86
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 5: is the number one pick's going to be the number

87
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:01,119
Speaker 5: one pick.

88
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: Fan, I'm saying it now.

89
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 5: If if the team who gets the number one pick

90
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 5: needs a point guard, I mean, you would be crazy

91
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 5: not to draft him. Like, obviously those other few freshmen

92
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 5: are really good, but he's the full package, bro. I mean,

93
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,599
Speaker 5: Colin Party said it, It's like, out of all the

94
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 5: the guards I've had, he's the best one.

95
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: And that's like and that's crazy a lot.

96
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,359
Speaker 5: That says a lot from the guards that he's had,

97
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 5: But like this dude is the real deal.

98
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 3: Bro.

99
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,919
Speaker 5: He reminds me a lot of like his mentality is

100
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 5: Alan Iverson because that's his favorite player of all time.

101
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 1: But like he reminds me of a Stefan Marbury bro.

102
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 5: Like like a really big physical guard that could jump

103
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:42,559
Speaker 5: out the gym.

104
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 1: They can shoot it as well that you can't keep

105
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 1: out the paint.

106
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 5: Like I try to tell my kids to watch Darius

107
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 5: for sure, because he's he's he got the full package.

108
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 2: There's something about like you said, like his his uh

109
00:04:56,200 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 2: driving ability and like his his like layup package at

110
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,280
Speaker 2: at the rim because it's not there's not a lot.

111
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 2: It's not like Kyrie esk. You know, it's a little

112
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 2: bit like take a little contact and lay it up.

113
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 2: Like what do you even think about that? Like I

114
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 2: was watching some of the highlights and it's different, Like

115
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 2: it looks effortless.

116
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, nobody's like Kyrie. But he's up there.

117
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,039
Speaker 5: I mean like he can finish off two feet, he

118
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 5: can finish off one. He got touched in the paint,

119
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 5: Like you don't really see a guard that has all

120
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 5: those things, and then like if he needs who he'll

121
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 5: go up top and try to dunk on. Yeah, Like

122
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:34,039
Speaker 5: like he's he's definitely not as athletic as a lot

123
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 5: of you know, young point guards, but he's athletic enough,

124
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 5: and like I said, his shooting ability is he's even

125
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,280
Speaker 5: killed at all times. Like I've been watching him all

126
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 5: season long, so I'm a big fan of him, and

127
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 5: I think he's definitely the best guard point guard in

128
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:50,799
Speaker 5: the in college ranks right now.

129
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 2: Damn Okay, So obviously I think he had like thirty something,

130
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 2: and then you go over to Dabansa, who also his

131
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,280
Speaker 2: last game. You know, he didn't make it out of

132
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,039
Speaker 2: the out of the first round unfortunately, but still drop

133
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 2: thirty five. Like everyone watched that, it was like, this

134
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,600
Speaker 2: is nothing wrong with AJ. The rest of the team

135
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 2: was kind of just chilling wall AJ took over. Which

136
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 2: do you feel like, because I think he's been sort

137
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 2: of everyone's number one going to the draft next year,

138
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,039
Speaker 2: you think that still stands or after Darius or after

139
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 2: who we're gonna talk about next Peterson, you think he's.

140
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:20,799
Speaker 1: Still number one.

141
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 5: I think I think this draft is all gonna go off.

142
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 5: Team needs. Yeah, like those guys are so good in

143
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:32,039
Speaker 5: their respective positions, like AJ's. I mean, he's a pro

144
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 5: plan in college right now, like a real legitimate, you know,

145
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 5: NBA wing the has the full toolbox. And then obviously

146
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 5: we'll talk about Peterson next. But I think this draft

147
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,720
Speaker 5: goes off like what a team needs. Who that's going

148
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 5: to translate to who's the number one, number two, number

149
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,159
Speaker 5: three pick, because these guys can obviously get drafted number

150
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 5: one in any respectable draft in the you know, they

151
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 5: can go number one. But I think this draft is

152
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 5: going to go off what the team needs because these

153
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 5: guys are very special. They're franchise changers, and they're showing it.

154
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 5: Like obviously AJ and you know, one game in the

155
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 5: NCAA tournament and lost, but like thirty five super efficient,

156
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 5: like he's been doing that all season long, and like

157
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 5: all three of these guys have been doing that.

158
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 2: His mid range just showing people that that part of

159
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 2: the game is still important. You know, you don't got

160
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 2: to just like jack up threes or anything. His mid

161
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 2: range was crazy and I and the first time I

162
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 2: heard this comp was from you, But the Tracy McGrady

163
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 2: comp just continues to just look super accurate.

164
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 5: Man, He's like, like you said, the midi. The MIDI

165
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 5: is like, you know, they only allow the stars to

166
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 5: continue to shoot the midies like they're going going the

167
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 5: ball in isolation. Go get us a bucket. It's not

168
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 5: bad when the stars are are shooting the midies. It's

169
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 5: just it's tough when the role players are. And that's

170
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 5: how the game is going, which is unfortunate. But you

171
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 5: gotta make it. You got to make adjustments, you got

172
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 5: to adapt to it. And he's in that star caliber level,

173
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 5: so he's gonna be fine once he gets to the league.

174
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: He'll still be able to shoot his middies.

175
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 3: I it's funny. I got a chance to work with

176
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 3: Tyre's Haliburton last week on a shoot and just to

177
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 3: just to go back to like the conversation of like

178
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 3: team needs, I asked him. I was like, straight up,

179
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 3: I was like, you know who you guys want?

180
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 2: DAVANSA Peterson, or a Cup or Boozer And he was

181
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 2: just like, we'll just have to see.

182
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 3: He's prepared for the question.

183
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 1: He knows how to answer that one. Yeah.

184
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 2: I feel like, yeah, he couldn't go wrong with with

185
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 2: any three of those guys.

186
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 1: So you can't. You can't. I don't want no point

187
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: guard coming over here though.

188
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 5: Yeah that's true, that's true, you can't, but I would

189
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 5: the way the game is going, all guards can play

190
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,319
Speaker 5: with each other, so that that's not a bad thing.

191
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, let's talk Peterson. Darren Peterson, who I just

192
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 3: there was so much controversy during the regular season. Now

193
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 3: tournament comes and people are saying he's load managing for

194
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:03,319
Speaker 3: the tournament, and I think on an individual performance, he

195
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 3: did not. He did not disappoint.

196
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 2: Just like again, the MJ comparison, the Kawhi comparisons, the

197
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:15,680
Speaker 2: Kobe comparisons, it was all there any surprises for Darren

198
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 2: when you're watching.

199
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 5: During the tournament, Nah, ultimate pro score, three level score.

200
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 3: Yep.

201
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 5: He does it all and he makes it look so easy, Like, yeah,

202
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 5: you can speak about his low management, you can speak

203
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 5: about all those things. We're not in that, you know,

204
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 5: I always say, we're not in those circles, We're not

205
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 5: in the locker room. We haven't heard those conversations. I

206
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 5: know he was able to speak about it a little

207
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,719
Speaker 5: bit in the media availability just about you know, when

208
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,319
Speaker 5: he does feel his body, you know, about to cramp up.

209
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,199
Speaker 5: He just he doesn't want that feeling anymore. And as

210
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 5: a kid, you can't fault in him for that. Like

211
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 5: you're not in his body. You don't understand the pain

212
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 5: that he really went through, you know, when he's cramping

213
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:01,679
Speaker 5: up and his whole body's cramping up. So we always

214
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:05,239
Speaker 5: gonna give a big shout out to him. He's super efficient.

215
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 5: He plays at a high level. When he does play

216
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 5: the game of basketball, it definitely reminds me of a

217
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 5: Kawhi Leonard, a Jordan at times, a Kobe Bryant because

218
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 5: he's able to get to his spots, nobody rushes him

219
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,559
Speaker 5: and what he needs to do. He's a mid range

220
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 5: guy as well. They can still shoot the three ball

221
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 5: at a high level. So like he got the full package.

222
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 5: And if Bill self ain't tripping, if the guy's in

223
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 5: the locker room and the teammates really ain't tripping, I

224
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 5: don't understand why the media space is tripping. Like, yeah,

225
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 5: it might be low management, this might be the case

226
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 5: for him, but like when he plays, he produces, and

227
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 5: he does it at a high level. So I'm never

228
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 5: gonna fault a kid because we don't know the ins

229
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 5: and outs of what he's going through. But when he

230
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,959
Speaker 5: does play, he produces, and he's he's like, like we've

231
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 5: been talking about all year long, he's in the running

232
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 5: for the number one pick. So that says a lot

233
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 5: about the decision makers and what they think about his

234
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 5: low management. If he's still in the runs for being

235
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 5: the number one pick and at the worst the number

236
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,959
Speaker 5: three top three pick, I mean, you gotta give you

237
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 5: gotta tip your hat off to a guy like that.

238
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's how good he is despite all the drama

239
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 3: or perceived drama.

240
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 2: If you no team's gonna get roasted for taking them

241
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 2: number one, you know, you just can't like he's worth

242
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,199
Speaker 2: taking that chance for sure after watching.

243
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 5: What he did, and if and if he is low

244
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 5: management throughout his career, he'll be Hall of Fame with

245
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 5: Kawhi Leonard, who is the king.

246
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 3: Anyone will want Kawhi right.

247
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 5: Now and every team will want Kawhi Leonard. That's just

248
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 5: what it is. So like it's just the naysayers, the

249
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 5: media speaking, you know, trying to create a story or

250
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 5: some conflict, which we understand that's their job. But over

251
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 5: here we're gonna talk the real and we're gonna give

252
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 5: the guys the flowers until we're in those locker rooms,

253
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 5: sitting down in those circles and conversating. We were not

254
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,559
Speaker 5: gonna say sources say none of that. We go to

255
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 5: give you the fact, the flat out facts and what

256
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 5: we see, and we're always going to give, you know,

257
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 5: the player the love and respect that they deserve.

258
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:11,079
Speaker 3: That's right. Okay, So teams, players who should we.

259
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 2: Be surprised by or who are you surprised by that

260
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,559
Speaker 2: are still hanging on the tournament that potentially could go

261
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 2: on a run here. Obviously, I think you said you

262
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 2: had Arizona or Michigan to take it all, But are

263
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 2: there any other teams that you saw some glimpses from

264
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 2: and you go, okay, they might go on a little

265
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 2: run right now?

266
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 5: Man, I mean, I don't think like surprises. But Saint

267
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 5: John's is got to coach like that. You gotta give

268
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 5: it to Rick Patino, man, he got those guys fighting. Obviously,

269
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 5: they won by a buzzer beater, you know, last game,

270
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 5: and they were up most of the game. But like,

271
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 5: those are the type of teams you're scared of because

272
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 5: they defend at a high level. They're physical, they got

273
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 5: no back down, and they're they're the you know, they're

274
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 5: the pedigree of Rick Patino and all his teams are

275
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 5: like that.

276
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 1: So do you got any teams I can go off of?

277
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 3: Not to play favorite here? And I said it before,

278
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 3: but honestly, I feel like after watching that conference tournament

279
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 3: with Purdue in Michigan, they played each other for that championship,

280
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 3: and Purdue look pretty good.

281
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 2: And I know, and this is coming from someone who's

282
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,199
Speaker 2: been following Perdue last few years and watched them. You know,

283
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,199
Speaker 2: they were the number one seed and you know they

284
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 2: got upset by some some lower seat teams, but you know,

285
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 2: Pdue beat Michigan, and Michigan has been favored in this tournament.

286
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:24,479
Speaker 3: I would not be surprised.

287
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 2: And they are playing Texas, who, you know, a pretty

288
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,559
Speaker 2: low seed I think at the eleventh seed, and I

289
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 2: don't know, they just feel like they they could they

290
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 2: could go on a run here. They're a solid team.

291
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 2: They got, like you said, Braden Smith, who's h I

292
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 2: think he's been there for four years, Like he's got

293
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 2: that experience, Like is he a top pick in the

294
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 2: in the NBA? No, but like he's been playing for them.

295
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 2: This is like not this isn't new to him. So

296
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:51,839
Speaker 2: I just feel like people should be taking them a

297
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 2: little bit more seriously.

298
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,680
Speaker 5: I mean, you got to they they they know what winning,

299
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 5: they know what winning is about. They got their well coached.

300
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 5: You know, Purdue is always consistent in what they bring

301
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 5: each and every year. And that's a team that, like

302
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 5: I said, they come from winning. They know what it

303
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 5: takes to win. They've gone deep in this tournament numerous

304
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 5: years in a row. So like, I don't ever like

305
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 5: if I see a perdue team, I'm not ever like

306
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 5: counting them out yestually when you're led by a guy

307
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 5: like Brayden Smith, who is one of the best college

308
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 5: point guards that we've seen in the last few years,

309
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 5: and like I said, is the number one assist leader

310
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 5: in college history. So I like Purdue, bro. Like I'm

Speaker 1: Look at a bounds plays sidelight. I'm the game, fam.

351
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 5: I'm taking everything because I don't know everything in terms

352
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 5: of coaching, so I'm a little taking bits and pieces.

353
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 5: I remember Brad Stevens used to do that. We always

354
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 5: used to every few practices, He'll throw in a new play. Yeah,

355
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 5: and you're black man. I took it from so and so, coach.

356
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 5: I took it from this team. So like you gotta

357
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 5: recycle some plays. You know, put a little a little,

358
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 5: a little switch in it here and there, put put

359
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 5: your little flavor on it, and then you know, say

360
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 5: that you made that up.

361
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 3: That's great.

411
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 3: talking about it, but there's that coaching moment that went viral.

412
00:18:58,320 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 3: I don't know if you saw the.

413
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,919
Speaker 2: Maryland coach so everyone at first, this is what I

414
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 2: loved on social media and the faults and how bad

415
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 2: society could be at first, or like people ready to

416
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 2: ready to.

417
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:11,679
Speaker 3: Pounce on and be like, coach, you can't do that.

418
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 3: You can't talk to a kid like that. But then

419
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 3: it comes out.

420
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:16,879
Speaker 2: Through some lip reading and whatnot that that coach was

421
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 2: just being intended to saying I believe in you. And

422
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:22,199
Speaker 2: then at the coach Brenda free Fees and then the

423
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 2: player Aluchi Okananwa, she was saying I believe in you.

424
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 2: And the response from the player was I love to

425
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,159
Speaker 2: be coach hard, Like, what were you? What was your

426
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 2: reaction seeing that playoff?

427
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 1: Amazing?

428
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:35,920
Speaker 5: I sent that to all my players on my AAU program,

429
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 5: all of them because I'm that coach, like I'm I'm,

430
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 5: I'm in your face, I'm yelling you know. My delivery

431
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,679
Speaker 5: might not always be amazing, but it comes from a

432
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:47,879
Speaker 5: great place and it comes from the heart because I

433
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 5: love and care about these kids.

434
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: So that's what that was.

435
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:54,439
Speaker 5: Like. I reposted that on my social media because that

436
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:56,879
Speaker 5: was like in the in the heat of the battle

437
00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 5: on national TV. Most keys kids, most people in that

438
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 5: position will feel embarrassed.

439
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 1: Most parents would be upset.

440
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,719
Speaker 5: But like if you read her mouth, read her words

441
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,679
Speaker 5: and what she said, and then how they talked about

442
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:12,959
Speaker 5: it after the game, the coach and the player.

443
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,159
Speaker 1: The player said, I love that. I want to be

444
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:16,879
Speaker 1: coached hard.

445
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 5: And what I've learned in my career and throughout coaching

446
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 5: and throughout playing, is like the best players want to

447
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 5: be coached hard, whether they say it or not. And

448
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 5: that was an example of being coached hard, being held accountable,

449
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 5: and then going out and doing your thing. After that,

450
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 5: let's not not talk about that. She turned her whole

451
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 5: game around in terms of her presence, her impact, and

452
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:45,160
Speaker 5: it fell in line with the rest of the team.

453
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:45,400
Speaker 1: Bro.

454
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 5: So like, that's amazing and that's coaching and that's holding

455
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 5: each other accountable. But the coach said it best. She said,

456
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 5: you can't do that if you haven't built relationships with

457
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 5: these kids, if you haven't been in the trenches with

458
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:02,400
Speaker 5: these kids, have had these these hard conversations behind closed

459
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 5: doors with these young women and men. So it's like,

460
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 5: coaches be coaches. Coach because it's needed. And if you're

461
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:12,679
Speaker 5: not coaching, you're doing that kid, that young woman, that

462
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 5: young man, a disservice and that's bad for the game

463
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 5: of basketball. So I hope everybody that was watching the

464
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 5: NCAA tournament march Man is seeing that interaction.

465
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:25,919
Speaker 1: Because it's needed.

466
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,400
Speaker 5: And that was like, that made my day yesterday because

467
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 5: it was like, even though the body language wasn't there,

468
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 5: the words and what we seen and what she said

469
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,440
Speaker 5: was like I believe in you, but you gotta want

470
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 5: this more than what we want, like you got to

471
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 5: And that was amazing, bro.

472
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:42,680
Speaker 1: That, like I said, that made my day.

473
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 5: And that's what basketball, that's what coaching, that's what sports

474
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 5: is about, because it translates to real life. Even if

475
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,239
Speaker 5: you have a job and your boss gets on you

476
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 5: like that, don't worry about the delivery. It's about how

477
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 5: much I care about you and what you mean to

478
00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 5: this organization, to this job, to this team. And that's

479
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:02,879
Speaker 5: what basketball is about.

480
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:03,160
Speaker 3: Man.

481
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 1: That's leadership right there.

482
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just think, yeah, like even the body language

483
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:09,680
Speaker 3: wasn't wrong, People just got to realize the moment and

484
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 3: and like you said, the care, Like that's how much

485
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,439
Speaker 3: that coach cares for their player, you know, And it's

486
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 3: and that's that marks a good player is someone who

487
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 3: could like receive that and then go put it into action.

488
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 3: So uh yeah, I love that that you uh yeah,

489
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 3: you're trying to spread that out there, and it's yeah,

490
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 3: anyone who's ever been in a moment like that. You

491
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 3: need that, you need you.

492
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 2: Need someone to assess the situation and say, I believe

493
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,239
Speaker 2: in you. We've had this dynamic all year long, like

494
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,879
Speaker 2: now's the time and sometimes that that that U means

495
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 2: getting that yelled at to.

496
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,200
Speaker 3: You in your face within an angel.

497
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,679
Speaker 1: And it's crazy because like it's not even crazy.

498
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 5: But I showed that to my my two sons yesterday

499
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 5: and I told them, like, could you on a national

500
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 5: TV setting? Yeah, they're fourteen and fifteen right now, but

501
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 5: this is to prepare them for the future. Could you

502
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:02,639
Speaker 5: be on national TV and get and have a coach

503
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 5: be in your face like that without you feeling embarrassed

504
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 5: and feeling sorry for yourself. Could you turn it around

505
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:11,119
Speaker 5: in impact winning and see that it's bigger than you

506
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 5: right now, It's bigger than this interaction, especially in the

507
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 5: heat of the battle. It's not going to be no

508
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:20,120
Speaker 5: whispering in your ear, Like emotions are high on both

509
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 5: sides for the player and the coach. Could you react

510
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 5: to that in the manner that that player did and

511
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,119
Speaker 5: turn it around in impact winning and do it for

512
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 5: the betterment of the team. It's like that's a question

513
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:35,680
Speaker 5: only you can answer. So, like, those are lifelong lessons

514
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 5: that we see throughout March Madness. And that's what's dope

515
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 5: about March Madness. It's not just the positives. It's not

516
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 5: the negatives, it's not the embarrassment, it's not the game winners.

517
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 5: It's interactions like that is what's going to push the

518
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 5: game of basketball further.

519
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 3: Yeah.

520
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 2: It I've even had moments like that as a parent,

521
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 2: you know, not even as a coach.

522
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 3: You know, you.

523
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,680
Speaker 5: Already know we have them moments found especially in front

524
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 5: of people. It's like, man, it's the it's the message,

525
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 5: don't don't Yeah, the delivery exactly, don't. Don't worry about that.

526
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 5: This is my family. Now, we've had their moments already.

527
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 2: No, all right, well, we're gonna take a break and

528
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 2: we're of course gonna keep talking March Madness as the

529
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 2: games continue this week. But we're gonna get in some

530
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:27,400
Speaker 2: NBA news when we come back after the break. All right,

531
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:30,199
Speaker 2: we're back here on point game. You know, college is

532
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,919
Speaker 2: heating up. We of course got NBA news.

533
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 3: Uh.

534
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:35,919
Speaker 2: The first one that I want to discuss here was

535
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 2: it was surprising and unfortunate. Uh, I got we got

536
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 2: a Sham's bomb the other day that Kate Cunningham is

537
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 2: going to be out with the collapse lung, which sounded

538
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 2: super serious, and immediately I was just like, how much

539
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 2: time is that going to be? I think it's gonna

540
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,399
Speaker 2: be a couple of weeks, maybe three or four. But

541
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,360
Speaker 2: I t when you saw that news.

542
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:57,400
Speaker 3: What was going through your head.

543
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 5: I mean, just as a fan of the game of basketball,

544
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:01,920
Speaker 5: our hurts like you never you wish you could turn

545
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:05,199
Speaker 5: injuries off and things like that off, especially with you know,

546
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:09,199
Speaker 5: one of the v Runner, one of the guys that

547
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 5: are in the running for the m v P and

548
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:15,400
Speaker 5: k Cunningham. Hopefully you know, he gets back sooner rather

549
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 5: than later. And it's not, you know, as crazy as

550
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 5: it sounds like, but you know, our thoughts and prayers

551
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 5: are with him. Hopefully he can finish the season off right.

552
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:28,160
Speaker 5: It just sucks to be able to you know, he's

553
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 5: been playing well all year long and then for something

554
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 5: like this to happen, which we thought was backspasms when

555
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 5: he went out against the Wizards last.

556
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 1: Week, and.

557
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,919
Speaker 5: Just hopefully he's he's better sooner rather than later. So

558
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:44,359
Speaker 5: that's that's very unfortunate. Hopefully we get some good news

559
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:45,439
Speaker 5: in the next couple of days.

560
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, just even just to speak on the physicality because

561
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 2: of course, you know, you get banged up in the

562
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 2: NBA season and maybe just to like give fans an

563
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,719
Speaker 2: inside look on like how to it's not football, but

564
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,640
Speaker 2: like there's some serious stuff that can be happening.

565
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,400
Speaker 3: And thank k there's a timetable for kid to come back.

566
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 2: But like just speak on that, like, you know how

567
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 2: physical the game could get, especially at the amount of

568
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 2: games that these players and yourself have had to play.

569
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 1: Man, the game is physical, bro.

570
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:13,879
Speaker 5: Even though they like they want to say that this

571
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,919
Speaker 5: generation is solved, this is it's like we only adapt

572
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,400
Speaker 5: adapt to how the game is being called. We don't

573
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 5: make the rules up, we don't make you know, the

574
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:24,120
Speaker 5: violations up or anything like that. So it's a really

575
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:28,399
Speaker 5: physical game. It's only getting more physical with how you know, bigger, stronger,

576
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 5: faster these guys are getting And then over a course

577
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 5: of an eighty two game season, like you're going to

578
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:36,439
Speaker 5: have you know, small injuries, You're going to have nagging

579
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 5: injuries that's been nagging for weeks, muscle injuries, all of

580
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 5: those things. So like when you see these guys having

581
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 5: these injuries, it's from it's paying a toll from the

582
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 5: whole year, not just right away, not just you know,

583
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 5: in the moment.

584
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:53,440
Speaker 1: So the game is physical.

585
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 5: You want to you want to be able to turn

586
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 5: these injuries off so we can see the game being

587
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:02,440
Speaker 5: played at a high level for everybody. But obviously that's

588
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 5: not realistic. But the best trainers, the best medical staff

589
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 5: is in the game of basketball, and you got to

590
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 5: trust those guys and they put the product out there

591
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 5: on the floor when they can and for the most part,

592
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 5: they're doing what's best, you know, for the player.

593
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:22,440
Speaker 1: And like they talk about the player nowadays, like the player.

594
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 5: Has his individual training staff, you know, especially the star players,

595
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:30,359
Speaker 5: so they're going through their due diligence on what makes

596
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 5: the most sense, on getting out there and being able

597
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 5: to impact and be themselves while they're out there on

598
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 5: the floor.

599
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 1: And if they can't, that's when you see the low management.

600
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 5: That's when you see the day to day that's when

601
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 5: you see guys being out for injuries you think might

602
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:48,679
Speaker 5: not be big enough for you know, your mindset, but

603
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 5: it's definitely big in terms of the player's importance and

604
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:53,680
Speaker 5: the player's health.

605
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:56,400
Speaker 3: Well and it's great you brought up even like mindset

606
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 3: and I think the psychological element that comes into play

607
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:01,919
Speaker 3: here as well well. Of like there's these numbers and

608
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:03,879
Speaker 3: timetables that go it takes this amount of time to

609
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 3: get back from an injury, or you know, we watched

610
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,880
Speaker 3: Tatum come back, who had you know, Torre's achilles run

611
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 3: the same time.

612
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 2: At like Dame and Tyrese and a lot of these guys.

613
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:17,920
Speaker 2: But it's like, you know, healing physically is only one thing.

614
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 2: It's also like can you get back psychologically? Are you

615
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 2: coming back? Like there's so many just voices in your ear.

616
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:27,399
Speaker 3: So it's it's interesting to see how these things play

617
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 3: out and like what this could mean for you know,

618
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 3: the Pistons who have been number one this entire season

619
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 3: in the East.

620
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's big.

621
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 5: You say that too though, like because everybody's body is different.

622
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 5: You said those three guys they had achilles injuries, even

623
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 5: like the John Tay Murray like he's way back, and

624
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 5: then you got a guy like Haller Burton is not

625
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 5: going to come back, and then Damian Lillard is not.

626
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 5: Like there's a mental aspect of these things as well,

627
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 5: like whether you feel great and you feel amazing for

628
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 5: a stretch of time, and then you go on a

629
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 5: lower where you're not feeling that well. That's the mental

630
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 5: side of they, especially with having a major injury, that

631
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 5: the people don't really understand, Like the doctor gives you

632
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 5: a timetable, but you got to go off what your

633
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 5: body's saying. You got to go off what your mind

634
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 5: is saying. And then there's like a neurological aspect too,

635
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 5: in the inside of your body that has to be

636
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 5: at the level of your mind. It has to be

637
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 5: at the level of your physicality to get past those moments.

638
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 5: So there's so many layers to it that the regular

639
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 5: person doesn't see. Yes, and you know, the regular fan

640
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 5: wants to get his favorite player to be out there

641
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 5: as fast as possible, But the mental side of things

642
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 5: is what cooks most of these players because that's the

643
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 5: last aspect of you second guessing things, of you trying

644
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 5: to get back to where you were or it passed

645
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 5: past where you were, and that can take months, that

646
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 5: can take years. That can take a long time for

647
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 5: anybody who's had a major injury. So we got to

648
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 5: be patient for not just the physical side of things,

649
00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 5: but the mental because that's a connector as well, and

650
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 5: that's big for these players.

651
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, prayers up to Kate and any any other

652
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 2: players who are battling injury right now. I hope you know,

653
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 2: there's there's a few weeks left until playoffs, and it

654
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 2: would be it'd be awesome because yeah, it's been exciting

655
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 2: watching the Pistons and it'd be uh, you know, if

656
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 2: they if they're not at full health coming in this playoffs, Yeah,

657
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 2: it would be sad.

658
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 3: And I think that the East is going to be interesting.

659
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, the East would be interesting.

660
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 5: I know, like like you said, if they're not at

661
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 5: their full strength, that would be that's that would be

662
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:29,480
Speaker 5: disappointing because all year they've been for the most part,

663
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 5: at full strength and been dominating the NBA.

664
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, this other story that came out. You know,

665
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 2: obviously you know we're coming on here giving our opinions

666
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 2: on basketball, but it's hold people's jobs.

667
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 3: To make lists and whatnot.

668
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 2: And Bleacher Report actually just put out their list of

669
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 2: the top fifteen pure scorers all time list, and so we.

670
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 3: We send it to you would love your thoughts.

671
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 2: I think there's some players and of course any player

672
00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 2: who shows up on this list is incredible, no out,

673
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 2: But are.

674
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 1: We missing any is this one? Is this?

675
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying that actually is this an order fan?

676
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 2: That's okay, there's there's no way I'm looking at it

677
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 2: right now. There's no way because okay, so I'm gonna

678
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 2: say there's obviously we got Steph on there, we got KD,

679
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 2: we got Jordan. But I think it is bringing this

680
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 2: up because at number four we got Joel Embiid and

681
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 2: so an incredible player MVP, but top fifteen pure score

682
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 2: all time.

683
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 3: And also what is pure scorer mean?

684
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 5: I know that's they gotta find the death and it

685
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 5: is pure score on all three levels, no matter what

686
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 5: the situation.

687
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 3: That's my assumption.

688
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 5: No matter what situation, no matter what players he has,

689
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 5: he's going out there and giving you a thirty ball

690
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 5: every night, Like you can put it in the box

691
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 5: score that he's giving you twenty five to thirty.

692
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 1: I feel like that's maybe that's a pure score.

693
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna go out on a limit.

694
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:53,520
Speaker 2: I don't know, I might even know the person who

695
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 2: wrote it, but I think this list is a crime.

696
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 1: This is tough.

697
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 6: Okay, this is this is this saying it like give

698
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 6: give me a couple of names that you don't you

699
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 6: that are like, look okay, and I love like you know,

700
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 6: we always show love and respect, so it's never hated

701
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 6: on this.

702
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,959
Speaker 1: But like Donovan Mitchell can't be in there right now?

703
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 3: No, how is Donovan on there? But Iverson's not on there.

704
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying, is Janni's on their fame like.

705
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 3: He's had a couple of high scoring games or like

706
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 3: in the again.

707
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 5: He's averaging thirty He's like, but pure score, Like that's

708
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 5: like jumpers mid range, that's like your score is Kyrie Irvin?

709
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 3: Yes?

710
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 1: Is Kevin Durant? Yeah?

711
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 5: Steph Curry like that. There's just there's just different levels

712
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 5: to that. Like I don't even know if I don't,

713
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 5: I don't know, man, I don't think Janni's can be

714
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 5: on there. I don't think like Shaquille O'Neil is on there,

715
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 5: Like are we doing?

716
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 3: I think could be on there?

717
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, because his career average twenty eight, Like I get that,

718
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 5: but like is it scoring different ways?

719
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 3: That's what a pure score means, I guess.

720
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 2: Like what I think is like, all right, you need

721
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 2: this person to either hit the buzzer beat or like

722
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 2: game winner or you need him to go out get thirty.

723
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 5: Or forty, and these all these guys can't get you

724
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 5: that for sure. They can get you forty like Yannis can't.

725
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 5: Karl Alone can. But like there gotta be.

726
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 3: But better than Dirk, better than Tim Duncan that some of.

727
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 5: These names and Dirk Man Kevin Garnett was like Jet there,

728
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 5: there's so many Ah, man, that's tough.

729
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 1: You can't you can't do a list like that.

730
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 5: You gotta have the list of so many players and

731
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 5: be able to pick from that.

732
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 2: I mean, top fifteen, top top fifty. These names appear

733
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 2: on there. But I think, bro, like you gotta take

734
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 2: Joel off there.

735
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 1: Kareem, i'b doing jabbarn not on there?

736
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 3: Right right? Come on? Man, Like.

737
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:57,960
Speaker 5: That's tough, bro, that's it that I'm not having Donovan

738
00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:00,200
Speaker 5: Mitchell on there. I'm not having Karl Alone on his

739
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:04,720
Speaker 5: top what is he top five? Top three, top three points? Yeah,

740
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 5: it's Carmel on top five.

741
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he's top five.

742
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 1: See, Like, how do you not have him on there?

743
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 1: But I'm not having him.

744
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 3: Carmelo's Carlin, He's on the team.

745
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:19,879
Speaker 5: I'm just saying, George Gervin Iceman. These are all Hall

746
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 5: of famers and great names. We gotta maybe next show,

747
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 5: we gotta have the definition of what a pure score is.

748
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 5: It's not I don't think a pure screw is the

749
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 5: most dominant. I think you got to be able to

750
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:34,799
Speaker 5: score in different ways. It's like and he gotta be

751
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 5: on there, fam yep, Carmelo Anthony bro, come on, we

752
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:42,880
Speaker 5: can't forget about Carmelo Anthony.

753
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 4: Man.

754
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:47,360
Speaker 2: Is James Harden not a pure That's what? Yeah, that's crazy.

755
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 2: I think this list was I'm not even starting. I'm

756
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 2: not gonna say, yeah, you know the person I said.

757
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:53,839
Speaker 3: I don't know if I know the person, but I'm

758
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:54,360
Speaker 3: afraid I do.

759
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 1: I think this list was just, you know, to get

760
00:34:58,040 --> 00:34:58,919
Speaker 1: some eyes on there.

761
00:34:59,000 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 3: Man.

762
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 5: These conversations mission accomplished, so we can we can have

763
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 5: that back and forth because we don't have a couple

764
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:09,920
Speaker 5: of guys on here that they are just scores.

765
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:10,399
Speaker 1: Bro.

766
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 5: Ah Man, that's that's a tough list. We gotta we

767
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:15,400
Speaker 5: gotta start doing dope.

768
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:16,760
Speaker 3: We'll do some rankings.

769
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 1: List you see what the fans think about our list.

770
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:24,239
Speaker 2: Okay, so if this ends up being a clip out

771
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:27,640
Speaker 2: or if people listen to pod comment like who's missing

772
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:30,000
Speaker 2: from this list? And then we'll come back and we'll

773
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:31,879
Speaker 2: do our own list. We're going to define the pure

774
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 2: scorer definition and we'll do We'll do our at least

775
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:36,760
Speaker 2: top ten on the next.

776
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:40,919
Speaker 3: On the next episode for sure. Okay, moving on here.

777
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:43,439

Speaker 3: We actually, I feel like we got a lot of.

983
00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:34,640
Speaker 2: Differentiating opinions on our BAM take on the last episode

984
00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:36,839
Speaker 2: where people were saying, you know.

985
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:38,320
Speaker 3: It's unethical basketball.

986
00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:40,160
Speaker 2: Bam didn't really go out and get the eighty three,

987
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:41,360
Speaker 2: And we're just like, you know, it's a lot of

988
00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:44,240
Speaker 2: just you know, people who were hating because they're Kobe fans,

989
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:47,200
Speaker 2: but we actually had someone pretty legitimate, you give their

990
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:48,200
Speaker 2: two cents it.

991
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:50,000
Speaker 3: What do we see in the comments?

992
00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:53,600
Speaker 5: Coach Earl Watson, Man, you know I told you We

993
00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:56,760
Speaker 5: had the story about d Book getting the seventy against

994
00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:59,200
Speaker 5: us at a young age, and Earl Watson was the coach,

995
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:02,360
Speaker 5: and you know they were doing the extra possession stuff fouling.

996
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:05,799
Speaker 1: But it's funny, or Watson commented in there.

997
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:07,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, I was trying to get us back in the

998
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:10,840
Speaker 5: game to go to overtime, so Book get eighty. So

999
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:13,200
Speaker 5: like that's the love and respect right there. Like yeah,

1000
00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:16,680
Speaker 5: at the at that time, people can be mad, like

1001
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:20,200
Speaker 5: as as as competitors, we were upset because we felt

1002
00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:23,239
Speaker 5: like the game should have been over. But like I said,

1003
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:26,520
Speaker 5: game recognized game and those feats. Being a part of

1004
00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:29,799
Speaker 5: those situations are all dope when it comes to being

1005
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:32,120
Speaker 5: just a student of the game, being a fan of

1006
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:32,480
Speaker 5: the game.

1007
00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:35,360
Speaker 1: So like we always say and we always do.

1008
00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:38,920
Speaker 5: We're not gonna be hating on on this on this platform,

1009
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:42,360
Speaker 5: We're gonna give love. And we understand fans are not

1010
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:45,280
Speaker 5: always going to agree with us. That's why you guys

1011
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:47,880
Speaker 5: gotta comment. You guys gotta interact with us so we

1012
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:50,400

1015
00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:56,600

1016
00:45:56,920 --> 00:45:59,880
Speaker 2: And fans, as you can see that, we're coming from

1017

1018
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:05,520

1019
00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:08,160
Speaker 2: they're talking. So keep it locked on the content you're

1020

00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:38,440
Speaker 5: I'm gonna say, I'm gonna go with my young my

1033
00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:42,759
Speaker 5: young boy, LaMelo Ball. Obviously, you know, being a fan

1034
00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:45,279
Speaker 5: of the game of basketball, high school, college or pros

1035
00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:50,080
Speaker 5: like you social media, you've seen LaMelo Ball all all

1036
00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:53,120
Speaker 5: growing up. But until I was able to be on

1037
00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:56,759
Speaker 5: the Hornets and build that friendship with him, you know,

1038
00:46:56,880 --> 00:47:00,120
Speaker 5: we talked probably once or twice a month, somebody that

1039
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:02,759
Speaker 5: I'm really close to, and just a young, a young

1040
00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:04,839
Speaker 5: dude that you know, just trying to give Game two

1041
00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:09,040
Speaker 5: and help out along his journey, and one of them,

1042
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:11,080
Speaker 5: one of the young one of the young up and

1043
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:15,360
Speaker 5: coming stars in this league that like, hopefully, as Charlotte

1044
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:18,439
Speaker 5: becomes better and better and they they hopefully squeeze into

1045
00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:21,840
Speaker 5: the playoffs, the world will get to see how special

1046
00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:24,960
Speaker 5: that kid is, because man, this guy's the limit for

1047
00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:28,319
Speaker 5: him And obviously we see it with with highlights and

1048
00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:30,800
Speaker 5: and things throughout the week when we do see the Hornets,

1049
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:34,799
Speaker 5: but like, he's an ultimate genuine kid, just likes to

1050
00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:37,640
Speaker 5: have fun, doesn't care about all the extras when you

1051
00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:40,160
Speaker 5: know when it when when. In theory, he could be,

1052
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:43,000
Speaker 5: you know, influenced by all the extras that come with

1053
00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:45,600
Speaker 5: this game. But I would say that's one of the

1054
00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:47,680
Speaker 5: guys that I didn't know before, and I was able

1055
00:47:47,719 --> 00:47:49,200
Speaker 5: to build a relationship.

1056
00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:51,880
Speaker 1: With and and and continue.

1057
00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:53,200
Speaker 5: To build that up because most of the guys that

1058
00:47:53,239 --> 00:47:56,880
Speaker 5: I play with, like i've either especially around my age,

1059
00:47:56,880 --> 00:47:59,080
Speaker 5: I've either known before this he did in the high

1060
00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:02,400
Speaker 5: score college and then was able to build a relationship.

1061
00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:04,040
Speaker 1: But I say, LaMelo ball.

1062
00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:06,080
Speaker 3: That's dope. That's dope. Yeah, because I think a lot

1063
00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:08,480
Speaker 3: of people think like Mellow is just kind of like

1064
00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:10,640
Speaker 3: on his own island. He does what he wants, and.

1065
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:13,240
Speaker 2: That's cool that you know you were coming in, uh,

1066
00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:16,360
Speaker 2: and that that relationship just like you know, sort of

1067
00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:19,920
Speaker 2: took off and has like lasted. It's just yeah, it's

1068
00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:21,319
Speaker 2: an element that we don't hear much about.

1069
00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:21,520

Speaker 5: younger guys they like I was fans of that I

1074
00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:35,960

1075
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:39,040
Speaker 5: teammates with those guys and being able to steal contact

Speaker 5: out to him, man. And it's crazy. I got a

1090
00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:21,520
Speaker 5: story about Bones when he first came in the league.

1091
00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:23,600
Speaker 5: I think it was the year after I was on

1092
00:49:23,640 --> 00:49:25,200
Speaker 5: the Nuggets. The year or two after I was on

1093
00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:28,080
Speaker 5: the Nuggets. And I'm always close with all the coaching

1094
00:49:28,120 --> 00:49:30,879
Speaker 5: staff that I'm a part of, so, like to this day,

1095
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:32,840
Speaker 5: no matter how long it's been since I've been on

1096
00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:36,920
Speaker 5: that team, I communicate with coaches because that's you know,

1097
00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:41,400
Speaker 5: that's how I've always been. So one year, the coaching staff,

1098
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:43,520
Speaker 5: a couple assistant coaches and the different Nuggets have reached

1099
00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:45,920
Speaker 5: out to me just to be able to tap in

1100
00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:48,200
Speaker 5: with Bones Highland. They was like, man, we figure like

1101

Speaker 5: with your work ethic and your professionalism and all those

1102
00:49:52,120 --> 00:49:54,200
Speaker 5: things will help a young guy like Bones because he

1103
00:49:54,239 --> 00:49:57,160
Speaker 5: has the talent, he has the mindset. He just has

1104
00:49:57,200 --> 00:49:59,759
Speaker 5: to learn how to be professional and bring it each

1105
00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:02,200
Speaker 5: and every every day. So we was able to you know,

1106
00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:05,920
Speaker 5: meet in person, sit and chop it up a few times,

1107
00:50:05,920 --> 00:50:09,520
Speaker 5: and then obviously we entered we exchange numbers. And that's

1108

00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:17,560
Speaker 5: being able to give it back and push the game further.

1111
00:50:18,160 --> 00:50:20,279

1112
00:50:20,760 --> 00:50:23,480
Speaker 5: And like I said, with Anthony Edwards out, I feel

1113
00:50:23,480 --> 00:50:26,320
Speaker 5: like his production is going to go to a higher

1114
00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:29,439
Speaker 5: level because he has hoop game. He can score the ball,

1115
00:50:29,480 --> 00:50:32,719
Speaker 5: he can make plays, and last but not least, he's
