Though, honestly, matt Um, 24 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 1: I just said that because I didn't even know he 25 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:13,440 Speaker 1: was answering me the question. I thought you would reading. 26 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 1: How my far I ain't know you was asking me 27 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 1: that Monday, February eight, And this is what's burning Jack. 28 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,919 Speaker 1: We had an instant classic the other night. Stephan Luca 29 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 1: had to shootout for the ages. Step drop fifty seven, 30 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 1: Luca dropped forty two. Dallas got to win. But how 31 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:40,479 Speaker 1: special moments like this? Uh, you know for the NBA fans, man, 32 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:42,120 Speaker 1: it was specially it was it was a joy for 33 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,320 Speaker 1: me to see. Uh. And I want to reinerrate on 34 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 1: some things you said at the beginning the season. You 35 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 1: said Steph need to play like this and have amazing 36 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 1: games all season, and he's been doing that for go 37 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 1: to State to have a chance. Luca has been doing 38 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 1: the same thing. But just like you said at the 39 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 1: beginning this season that he needed more help. It's it's 40 00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 1: excited to watch these two guys go at it and 41 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 1: the game is a good hands But to him, yes, uh, 42 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 1: you know this was you know, we we talked at 43 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 1: the beginning of season this this was gonna be going 44 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 1: in the States version of how Houston played with James 45 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,359 Speaker 1: last year, although I think there's more ball movement and 46 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,080 Speaker 1: people are involved every single night. Steps gonna have to 47 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 1: put up amazing numbers for this team to win. He's 48 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 1: been doing it. You know, they're floating right at the 49 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 1: bottom of the playoffs standings. But this is just a 50 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:25,080 Speaker 1: beautiful game. Steph's confidence is obviously on another level, and 51 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 1: Luca is just a silent killer. Doesn't goes out there, 52 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 1: doesn't take no ship, plays hard and and stuff like 53 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 1: this happened. So it was a fun game to watch 54 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,960 Speaker 1: for me personally. I just enjoyed the back and forth 55 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 1: and in the ability to hit clutch shots for both 56 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 1: those guys. And uh, imagine this and again a seven 57 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 1: game series. You know, if these guys are able to 58 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 1: maintain what they're doing and get a chance to play 59 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 1: each other in the playoffs, seven games of Luca and 60 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 1: step would be incredible. Next up raising their games. Uh, 61 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 1: Donovan Mitchell has been on one Uh you know, we 62 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:56,919 Speaker 1: mentioned it. Uh, you know a few weeks ago when 63 00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 1: Shack Loki called him out or actually high key called 64 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,119 Speaker 1: the matter we both not, you know, instead of using 65 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 1: that as a as like a damn, but as a 66 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,640 Speaker 1: disc used as motivation. It seems like Donovan has been 67 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 1: used as a motivation thus far in februaries. Dropped to 68 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 1: thirty point games, almost had a triple double last night, 69 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:13,919 Speaker 1: and his team is at the best record in the 70 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: NBA nineteen and five. What are your thoughts on his play? 71 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,359 Speaker 1: First and foremost, and how how good the Jazz have 72 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 1: been this season. He's doing exactly what he's supposed to do. 73 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 1: He's been He's been growing every year as a player, 74 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,519 Speaker 1: growing every year as a leader. And what Shack said 75 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 1: to him to do nothing but motivated him. A lot 76 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 1: of people would have took that the wrong way. He 77 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 1: knew the direction he was going, he knew the work 78 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 1: he put in and the results are showing now. So salute, 79 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 1: saluted Donovan Mitchell. But I also knew what Shack was saying. Yeah, 80 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 1: it's good to nineteen and five right now, but that 81 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,119 Speaker 1: doesn't matter until the end of the season. Where are 82 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 1: you That's what matters. You know, you want to be 83 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 1: a champion. And and and then, like I said, Donovan Mitchell 84 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 1: is doing a great job of leading his team. I'm 85 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 1: not taking anything away from Utah. If you want to 86 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 1: get off to a great start, this is the way 87 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 1: you do it. But it matters in the postseason. But 88 00:03:56,120 --> 00:04:00,120 Speaker 1: Donovan Mitchell keep doing your thing. Yeah, Donovan Mitchell has 89 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 1: definitely been elevating his game since he's been here. UM 90 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 1: one of the best three point shooting teams in the 91 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 1: league right now. Love with Quinn Snyder's doing. We've talked 92 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 1: about him throughout this season, but I still feel like 93 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 1: this is possibly a team that's going into this trade deadline, Like, look, 94 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 1: we're at the top of the West during the regular season. 95 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 1: Do we need to make a move to solidify ourselves 96 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 1: going into the playoffs. Do we need to grab Zach Lavine. 97 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,479 Speaker 1: Do we need to grab a Bradley Beal? Do we 98 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: need to grab that one more score that no one 99 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 1: is even talking about the could possibly be on the 100 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,480 Speaker 1: trade trade uh, on the move during the trade deadline, 101 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 1: because like I said, I think they need that one 102 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 1: more guy. They're very consistent, um, but I still think 103 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 1: they need that one more score that's in that that 104 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,719 Speaker 1: twenty point range consistently. I love what Jordan Clarkson is doing. 105 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,479 Speaker 1: I love him. Mike Conley is doing um, Like I said, 106 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 1: a lot of different shooters. But when it comes to 107 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 1: the playoffs, are they gonna have enough? We'll have to 108 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 1: wait and see next up. Joke, it's drop fifty damn 109 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,679 Speaker 1: near a fifty point triple double fifteen tw over an eight, 110 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: but it came in a losing effort. Jack, talk to 111 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 1: me about that. Well, you just talked about teams need 112 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 1: to make moves. This the team they need to make 113 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,279 Speaker 1: a move. You can't have yokers do everything. He's doing 114 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,480 Speaker 1: fifty points and you and you lose the Sacramento nothing 115 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,719 Speaker 1: against Sacramento. They got some young stars, but you can't 116 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,719 Speaker 1: have your star player go for fifty eight and take 117 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 1: an al. That's the team that need to make some moves. 118 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 1: This is the best big man in the game right 119 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,600 Speaker 1: now with him and Beat and I just I just 120 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 1: don't see him having games like this and having a 121 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,240 Speaker 1: career he's having and not have another star. I love 122 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 1: the young guards they have, but I really think this 123 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 1: team needs to make another move before the playoffs. Matt 124 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 1: good point there. Um, you know he's out here doing 125 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 1: I made a mistake last week or maybe two weeks 126 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,359 Speaker 1: ago when I said A D deserves to start in 127 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,719 Speaker 1: front of Jokings for the All Star I was mistaken. 128 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 1: Although a D is a tremendous talent, Jokings has one 129 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 1: another planet this year. The way he's playing a D 130 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 1: has been up and down of late. So Jerkins definitely 131 00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 1: deserves to start as center. But he's one of these 132 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,720 Speaker 1: unique talents. You know, obviously he could he can use 133 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 1: some help, but he's one of these unicorn guys that 134 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 1: are you know, skill set. There's not really a hole 135 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 1: in his game. His ability to pass the ball like 136 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 1: a guard, shoot the ball like a guard, No one 137 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 1: can stop him on the block, and just his have 138 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 1: basketball que was off the chart. So it's beautiful to 139 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: see him continue to develop. Um, whether the rest of 140 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,799 Speaker 1: the young town around him develops as well, it's something 141 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 1: we'll have to see. But you know, just watching him 142 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,359 Speaker 1: night and night out has been a beautiful thing. Next 143 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: up Gordon Hayward, who's having a career year. Um, I'm 144 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,360 Speaker 1: personally happy to see because I thought he was a 145 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 1: motherfucker over there in Utah ended up getting hurt, didn't 146 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 1: really work in Boston, he signed a big deal with 147 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 1: the team took a lot of heat for him getting 148 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:40,799 Speaker 1: all that money. Be he's at a career high twenty 149 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 1: three points a game, floating with the fifty um. Has 150 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 1: that team, he's the number one option for that team, 151 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,159 Speaker 1: has that team playing well. He's been able to jail 152 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 1: with their younger players. Obviously, LaMelo balls someone we all like, 153 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:56,559 Speaker 1: Terry Rosier Miles Bridges is a highlight highlight machine waiting 154 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 1: to happen. What else do you feel Charlotte needs there 155 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,360 Speaker 1: seventh right now the East? What else do you feel 156 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 1: they need Jack to continue to improve and possibly make 157 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,039 Speaker 1: some noise in the Eastern Conference. Yeah? Well, first of all, 158 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 1: you you got to salute the man. You get what 159 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 1: you negotiating. He negotiate that money, he got it. But 160 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 1: in Charlotte. I played in Charlotte, I got that my 161 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 1: first year. We got to the playoffs. They could care 162 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 1: less about anything but getting to the playoffs. And that's 163 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 1: all MJ cares about. And I think having this guy 164 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 1: on on the team and the season he's having, I'm 165 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 1: a fan of him. A lot of guys don't go 166 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 1: through the injuries that he's went through, you know, at 167 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 1: to bounce back to come back in the league, regardless 168 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 1: what team you are, regardless what money, how much money 169 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 1: you're making, and back to average in twent three points. 170 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 1: I salute him, but he has to get this team 171 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 1: to the playoffs in order to be respected. In Charlotte. 172 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 1: I completely agree. Um, I think he got lost in 173 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 1: the shuffle. I think there was some stuff going on 174 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 1: because they had his former college coach over there, and 175 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 1: he came back in after an injury. He went right 176 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 1: to the starting lineup, and I think that rubbed a 177 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 1: lot of the young Celtics the wrong way. So it's 178 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 1: only a matter of time before that situation. You know, 179 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 1: they had to make a move there. Um laying on 180 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 1: his feet in Charlotte and hits the ground running, Like 181 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 1: I said, playing like that Gore that that Gordon Hayward 182 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 1: that you know, the Utah Jazz had. So I'm happy 183 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 1: to see it fighting back through all these injuries. Um, 184 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 1: this is a very young, talented team. To me, I 185 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 1: don't really think you rushed this process. I think you 186 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 1: continue to fill out what you have with Miles Bridges, 187 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 1: which you have with LaMelo Ball. You know what you 188 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 1: have a rosier uh Cody Zeller is playing hard every night. 189 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 1: I like what this team is doing, and I like 190 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 1: the path they're on. Uh, you know, I think within 191 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 1: the next two three years, you know, they'll definitely be 192 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 1: right in the middle of the Eastern Conference, you know, 193 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 1: making some real noise. But like you said, none of 194 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,720 Speaker 1: this ship matters unless you make the playoffs.

Um one matchup will start with this 216 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 1: Luca and Tray situation, though forever be linked, obviously being 217 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 1: traded for each other on Draft Day. I mean, but 218 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,959 Speaker 1: to me, man, these the trade as great as we think. 219 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 1: Luca is Trey has definitely been doing this thing with Atlanta. 220 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 1: Has Atlanta sitting at sixth in the East. He's at 221 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,079 Speaker 1: damn your twenty seven points a game and nine assists, 222 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,839 Speaker 1: getting to the line almost ten times a game, while 223 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 1: Lucas at twenty eight and nine. They're still trying to 224 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 1: find their footing in the West. But this is definitely 225 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 1: gonna be must watch TV for two of the bright 226 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 1: stars in our league. Yeah, man, this is a game 227 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:05,440 Speaker 1: I definitely have to watch. It's gonna be a lot 228 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,199 Speaker 1: of scoring, a lot of playmaking. You really don't see 229 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,960 Speaker 1: these guys guard each other too much because because Luca 230 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 1: is a lot bigger, but just the matchup and on 231 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 1: that you're having to to a future stars on the court. 232 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 1: Both teams really, like you said, still trying to find 233 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 1: a footing and trying to find identity for each other. 234 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,680 Speaker 1: I think Atlanta is kind of leading that with the 235 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 1: identity trade is really leading this team, and and they 236 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 1: really have their style to play. Lucas still fishing. But 237 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 1: anytime these two guys can clash is always good TV. Yeah, 238 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 1: you know, it's crazy. Like I said, I don't think Luca, 239 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 1: excuse me, I don't think Trey gets enough credit for 240 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,440 Speaker 1: what he's been able to accomplish, the numbers he has 241 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:41,840 Speaker 1: been able to put up, and where he has his 242 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,080 Speaker 1: team right now. Obviously, Luca got a lot of the hype, 243 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 1: and I think maybe too much hype from a standpoint of, 244 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 1: you know, are they living up to expectations? Um, they 245 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 1: haven't been able to do it this year. He personally 246 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 1: has been playing well. But Trey has his team on 247 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 1: the path, you know, and he was Atlanta was my 248 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 1: surprise team this year. I love what they didn't free agency. 249 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 1: I like to pick up stay May, but Trey continues 250 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:05,560 Speaker 1: to improve. One of the best ball handlers, shooters, skilled 251 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 1: players in our game. And it's like I said, this 252 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:09,439 Speaker 1: is gonna be a matchup that will be talked about 253 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,839 Speaker 1: throughout their careers because obviously they were traded for each other. 254 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:13,679 Speaker 1: But I must watch basketball this week. It's gonna be 255 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,840 Speaker 1: a fun one. Our next matchup to watch. Um Kadie 256 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 1: returning to the Bay. Um. The Nets got the best 257 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 1: of the Warriors earlier in the season, beating him handily 258 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:27,080 Speaker 1: in Brooklyn. Um, Golden State is fighting their footing step 259 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 1: is being steph Uh you bre and Wiggins are starting 260 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 1: to raise their game. Draymond is showing that the numbers 261 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 1: aren't everything. He's out here doing absolutely everything on the 262 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 1: floor to keep this team, Uh, you know afloat. And 263 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,079 Speaker 1: then Brooklyn. You know, Brooklyn still is trying to fit 264 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 1: their pieces together, but slowly but surely rising up in 265 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 1: the East. What are your thoughts about Katie returning to 266 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 1: the Bay and both these teams at their current point. 267 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 1: You know, it would be so much better and we 268 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 1: would be anticipating this game so much more if that 269 00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:00,400 Speaker 1: arena was filled with fans. You know what I mean? Uh, 270 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 1: it's gonna. I mean they already they didn't already played. 271 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 1: So I think the seeing each other and the brotherly 272 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,319 Speaker 1: love and all that, I think that already happened. I 273 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 1: think the only aspect of it was seeing him actually 274 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 1: come back to that arena with fans. We're not gonna 275 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:15,440 Speaker 1: get a chance to see that. So I just, I 276 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 1: just I see it being a high scoring game. You know, 277 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 1: anytime any team play against Brooklyn, you're gonna get the 278 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 1: best shot. And Stephen, Stephen, Steph has been playing well. 279 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,920 Speaker 1: And then when when when Steph comes with his best shot, 280 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 1: As you see, it's gonna be a fifty point night. 281 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 1: So it's gonna be a good game to watch. Um. Yeah, 282 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 1: like you said, you know, Steph has been playing great. 283 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 1: But to think on the flip side, if Steph doesn't 284 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 1: play great, the Warriors don't have a chance. The Nets 285 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 1: have three different options, you know what I mean, And 286 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 1: if one of those guys played great, they have a 287 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 1: great chance. Of two of those guys played great, they 288 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 1: have a really good chance. And if all three played great, 289 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 1: the other team doesn't stand a chance. And that's having 290 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:55,560 Speaker 1: those three fucking stars on one side. But like you said, 291 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 1: I think the key to this is if fans were there, 292 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 1: this would have a lot more energy, a lot more excitement. Still, 293 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:04,560 Speaker 1: the game will be played. Um thoughts last week on 294 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,480 Speaker 1: Katie's protocol where he was supposed to not warm up, 295 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 1: was able to warm up, doesn't start, plays a little bit, 296 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,719 Speaker 1: gets taken out of the game, and obviously he has 297 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 1: an issue after the game, as he should. It's crazy, 298 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:20,719 Speaker 1: like I think the NBA is trying to figure out 299 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 1: this contact tracing ship, but I think that was definitely 300 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 1: a frustrating situation for him and his team. Man Free Snipe, 301 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 1: Man Free k D. I feel his pain. Once I 302 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 1: run up, once I run up and down that court 303 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 1: and I bumping it down. We're sweating. I'm playing the game, 304 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:41,720 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying out, Come on, man, let 305 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 1: me play the game. Man. They actually was actually was 306 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,840 Speaker 1: doing too much. And I honestly feel katie frustration. You know, 307 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:49,480 Speaker 1: you putting them in out the game. It's a big 308 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:51,720 Speaker 1: game for him. They're trying to win, you know, and 309 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:53,319 Speaker 1: he don't know if he can play a night. You 310 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 1: get warm up, lady, you gotta He's not started coming 311 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 1: in the game cold like. It's a lot of aspects 312 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 1: to that that that would frustrate me as well. So 313 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 1: I get it, man, but they need to get ahold 314 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:04,200 Speaker 1: of it because once you're check in the game, ain't 315 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,080 Speaker 1: no reason to pull you back out, right, And like 316 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:08,840 Speaker 1: I said, it's either got to be all or nothing. 317 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 1: Either he can play that day or he can't. But 318 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:13,600 Speaker 1: don't give him the option to get a sweat, start 319 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:16,160 Speaker 1: playing and then pull him out. Like I said, either 320 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 1: you're gonna not let him play that day, or once 321 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 1: he's in, you're gonna let him rock the entire game. 322 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 1: But I think the in and out is the bullshit. 323 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 1: We definitely feel in Spain, and we hope the NBA 324 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:25,480 Speaker 1: is able to figure this out so it doesn't have 325 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 1: to happen to anybody else. Breaking records and milestones. Uh, 326 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 1: congrats Lebron James for passing Wilt Chamberlain on the third 327 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 1: third all times career field goals made list, Um Jack, 328 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,480 Speaker 1: I think Doc Rivers put it perfectly. Whether or not 329 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 1: you agree, Lebron is the greatest player of all time. 330 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 1: When it's all said and done, he'll definitely have the 331 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 1: greatest career. Um Thoughts on Braun and the level of 332 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 1: plays continuing to play at in your e team. I'm 333 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 1: just amazed, man, what what is? What is kids? What 334 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 1: he's been able to do in such a long time. 335 00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 1: You know, we we all had high expectations that come 336 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 1: him coming in the game, and he exceeded them all 337 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,920 Speaker 1: and he's continuing to I'm not surprised, man. We just 338 00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 1: gotta enjoy greatness and understand that we've seen something. We're 339 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 1: watching something that we've never seen before. One of the 340 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,880 Speaker 1: greatest to ever touched the court man and I'm honored 341 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 1: to say I had a chance to battle again some 342 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 1: a couple of years and to be able to watch 343 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 1: this magic especially, I'm enjoining it. Imagine, I think you 344 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,280 Speaker 1: made a great point. Who has ever lived up to 345 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 1: all this hype? I mean, the hype from the beginning 346 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 1: was was made for him to fail, all the Chosen One, 347 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 1: every all the accolades, everything, all the pressure they put 348 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:36,600 Speaker 1: on this man's shoulder, and he's been able to live 349 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 1: up to it and exceed expectations. He has a chance 350 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 1: to pass Karl Malone to go to number two. That 351 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 1: will probably take him about four more years of this 352 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 1: consistency to get to Kareem. But at the end of 353 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:48,320 Speaker 1: the day, you know, they're right in the hunt to 354 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:52,640 Speaker 1: win another championship possibly too. I mean, I don't see 355 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 1: what you can say about Lebron negatively, you know, I 356 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 1: think it's crazy what people want to talk about his 357 00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:58,840 Speaker 1: n lost record in the final. The fact that he's 358 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:02,520 Speaker 1: consistently getting there is the key to me. Obviously, you 359 00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 1: want to win, but Ship, he's done everything you can 360 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 1: do to win once you get there, so it's gonna 361 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 1: be interesting. It's been beautiful to watch it. I just 362 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 1: wish people appreciated him more Steph Moore, James more, Katie more, 363 00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,680 Speaker 1: instead of always trying to critique, because you have to understand, 364 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:18,240 Speaker 1: when it's all said and done, these guys are gone. 365 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:20,520 Speaker 1: You're you're you're gonna be missing some of the greatest 366 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 1: players to ever touch this touch the ball, touch this floor. 367 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:27,280 Speaker 1: And I think too often people take more time critiquing 368 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 1: and talking Ship instead of just enjoying their greatness. Next 369 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 1: step Carmelo Anthony, passing Dominique Wilkins for thirteen on the 370 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 1: all time score list. You know, we've both been big 371 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:41,240 Speaker 1: advocates for Melo to get back in the game after 372 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 1: nearly four thousand people have played in the NBA to 373 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 1: be thirteenth all time as a hell of an accomplishment. Uh. 374 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 1: Jack talked to me about Melow, that's the testament to 375 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,680 Speaker 1: his career. Man. We all knew what how important Melo 376 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 1: was to the game, We knew the dominant offensive player 377 00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 1: he was, and um, you know, this is just just 378 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 1: another testament to all the work he's done. Um, I'm 379 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:05,439 Speaker 1: glad he's getting a shot. He's getting a bigger role 380 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:07,960 Speaker 1: in Portland now, you know, with with him dealing with 381 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,719 Speaker 1: a lot of injuries. But I'm happy for Mellow. Man, 382 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 1: it's just a testament into career. It shows why he's 383 00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 1: gonna belonging to Hall of Fame. I definitely want to 384 00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:21,120 Speaker 1: salute Mellow for being able to almost reinvent itself. Um, 385 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:23,879 Speaker 1: someone who's such a tremendous score. His whole career has 386 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,399 Speaker 1: always been to go to guys, always consistently got in 387 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 1: that twenty to twenty five shots a game range to 388 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,439 Speaker 1: be able to reinvent itself. And I think for for 389 00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 1: a minute he was having a hard time, you know. 390 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,360 Speaker 1: And I think that's why, along with some other bullshit, 391 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,040 Speaker 1: I think what the NBA was doing, he wasn't able 392 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:40,560 Speaker 1: to get a job. But I think he kind of 393 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 1: accepted his role and understood what teams are looking for 394 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,560 Speaker 1: now and he's still able to be himself. And like 395 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 1: you said, with with Portland's UH down in numbers, obviously 396 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,000 Speaker 1: his role is gonna increase. That's something he's been doing 397 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:52,719 Speaker 1: his whole career, so it won't be a problem for him. 398 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,960 Speaker 1: But definitely glad he got a second chance. Um, I 399 00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:59,160 Speaker 1: love what he's doing out there. And yeah, absolutely, First 400 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:04,040 Speaker 1: about Hall of Fame uh Karmelo Anthony can again congratulations. Last, 401 00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:07,639 Speaker 1: but not least, Fred van Fleet, who has been on 402 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:11,399 Speaker 1: an absolute tear, dropped a career high in raptors record 403 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 1: fifty four points, uh, knocking too Mars record by two points, 404 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:19,360 Speaker 1: setting also the record for undrafted player to be able 405 00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 1: to come and drop fifty signed that big eight five 406 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:25,399 Speaker 1: million dollar contract this year. Couldn't be happy for this 407 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 1: guy one, obviously, because he's making his dreams come true. 408 00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 1: But then he's showing the rest of the guys out 409 00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 1: here you can still make your regardless some guy that 410 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,480 Speaker 1: wasn't drafted. He's small. I'm sure there's a lot of 411 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,399 Speaker 1: different knocks on him, but this guy is definitely a 412 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:41,679 Speaker 1: prominent score in this game, dropping fifties and getting paid 413 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:43,359 Speaker 1: and like I said, I just love the fact that 414 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:44,960 Speaker 1: he's been able to do what he does, but also 415 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,399 Speaker 1: encourage the rest of the youngsters out there, letting him 416 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:48,399 Speaker 1: know that, hey, you don't have to go to a 417 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,399 Speaker 1: big name school, you nest, you don't even have to 418 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 1: be drafted. You just have to believe in yourself and 419 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:53,640 Speaker 1: keep being a dog and you might get a shot. 420 00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,119 Speaker 1: I'm happy for him. Fred is doing great, man. I 421 00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:58,400 Speaker 1: think he came into that situation was not really knowing 422 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 1: if he was gonna play Trey. He's happening to end 423 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,119 Speaker 1: up starting Now look at him, He's he's the best 424 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:05,160 Speaker 1: score on the team to me. You know, he's playing 425 00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:07,160 Speaker 1: with a lot of confidence. And it's all about getting 426 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:08,920 Speaker 1: an opportunity. Man. A lot of people don't even got 427 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,359 Speaker 1: get an opportunity to get a chance to show what 428 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,879 Speaker 1: they can do. He got his opportunity, took advantage of it, 429 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,720 Speaker 1: and you see what's happening, big contract. He just showing 430 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,159 Speaker 1: he belongs in this league. And I don't think this 431 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,200 Speaker 1: the end of us talking about him this year. I 432 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:24,919 Speaker 1: think gonna have a great year. No, absolutely, definitely, one 433 00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 1: of the scores Uh, one of the best, you know, 434 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 1: undrafted scores. We've seen his ability to to to answer 435 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:33,440 Speaker 1: when he got his chance. He did that, had a 436 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 1: big finals um to help them win, and now he's 437 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:38,879 Speaker 1: being rewarded. Like I said, I think it's it's a 438 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,200 Speaker 1: beautiful thing for him, but also you know, encouraging to 439 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:45,080 Speaker 1: the people coming behind him. Jack, we got a new segment. Uh, 440 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 1: it's not a new segment, but it's a new segment 441 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:49,720 Speaker 1: for What's Burning, and we're gonna start incorporating our fan 442 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,719 Speaker 1: questions into What's Burning. So let's get to it. First 443 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 1: question from the Black Understore cal Underscore l which team 444 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,480 Speaker 1: is one big trade away from being odds on favorite 445 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 1: this season? I would have to say Philadelphia. So you 446 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 1: got Philly. Um, I think Utah is one trade away. 447 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 1: Obviously they're sitting with the best record in the league, 448 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 1: but I still feel like they're gonna need some more 449 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 1: firepower come playoff time. Um. So I think, you know, 450 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 1: like I said earlier, Bill of Levine, someone we're not 451 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,119 Speaker 1: even thinking enough to possibly be that that that that 452 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:30,680 Speaker 1: either that number two guy or ship number one guy 453 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,439 Speaker 1: that's gonna get you that twenty consistently every night, I 454 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 1: think there definitely one trade away, but you know, both 455 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:38,920 Speaker 1: both the team's Philly and Utah are right there and 456 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:40,480 Speaker 1: it's gonna be fun to see what they do coming 457 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:44,640 Speaker 1: down the stretch. Next question at slim Underscore Veil, why 458 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 1: do you guys think the effort on defense has subsided 459 00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:52,560 Speaker 1: so much in the past ten years? Um Man, good question. 460 00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 1: I think it's the changing of the game. Um you know, 461 00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:58,920 Speaker 1: we hung our hat on defense. Um I'll be obviously 462 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 1: able to do other things that they took pride in defense, 463 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,040 Speaker 1: And I don't think the game is there anymore, um one, 464 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:07,240 Speaker 1: because the league wants it more scoring and highlights, and 465 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:08,840 Speaker 1: I think that's where they're at right now. So they 466 00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 1: would definitely rather see, you know, a one thirty game 467 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 1: than nine to nine defensive battle. So I mean, I 468 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:19,159 Speaker 1: think scoring is at a premium. Scoring is encouraged, so 469 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 1: there's just not that much focus on defense anymore. In 470 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:24,960 Speaker 1: the fact that it's like fucking flag football act that 471 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,440 Speaker 1: you can't really play defense if you wanted to. All 472 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:29,680 Speaker 1: the touch fouls they're calling and all that soft ship 473 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 1: they're calling really is a disadvantage to the defense. So 474 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:34,760 Speaker 1: I think the way the rules have changed and what 475 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 1: the NBA wants. What you're scoring is the reason why 476 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:41,920 Speaker 1: we've seen defense non existent. Yeah, the game is definitely grown, 477 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:43,960 Speaker 1: but you gotta think all the guys that really played 478 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 1: like we played, all the greedy guys, they kicked him 479 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,720 Speaker 1: out the league. So that's another reason defense is not 480 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,440 Speaker 1: the way it is no more. Let's be real, Yeah 481 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 1: it is not scoring. The rules are different. But the 482 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,840 Speaker 1: motherfucker's who got down and cared about stopping motherfucker's dad 483 00:21:56,840 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 1: at home doing what we're doing, especial man, shoutout Trevor 484 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,120 Speaker 1: reason Man, he's sitting at home right now, still getting paid, 485 00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:04,920 Speaker 1: which is great, but he's one of those three and 486 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 1: D guys. Someone will get in your face and and 487 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:08,800 Speaker 1: and he can't find a home right now. So I me, 488 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:10,840 Speaker 1: I think that perfectly goes to what you were saying. 489 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:14,919 Speaker 1: One next question from Kevin McCadney. What team has been 490 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,920 Speaker 1: the biggest disappointment this season and what team has been 491 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 1: the biggest surprise, Jack, biggest disappointment to you this year? 492 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,360 Speaker 1: The biggest disappointment to me is the Dallas Mavericks. Um. 493 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:27,920 Speaker 1: I felt they could they could have did something that 494 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,920 Speaker 1: someone that helped this guy Lucas just a stub man, 495 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:32,720 Speaker 1: one of the best players in the league, and I'm 496 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,120 Speaker 1: just disappointed with the start they're getting off too. Obviously, 497 00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 1: you know, KP is in and out and they just 498 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,840 Speaker 1: didn't make the moves. Hopefully they'll mak them before the trade. 499 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 1: That trade trade their line, but Dallas is definitely a 500 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,880 Speaker 1: team that hasn't been living up to what I expected. 501 00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:49,920 Speaker 1: I completely agree m after what they did in the 502 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 1: playoffs last year, the way Luca played, the expectations this 503 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:55,200 Speaker 1: year with through the roof that may have been too high, 504 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,480 Speaker 1: but I agree they didn't really make any moves to 505 00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:01,240 Speaker 1: strengthen this roster that are really going to be impactful. Um, 506 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:03,280 Speaker 1: KP has been in and out. When he's played, he's 507 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,800 Speaker 1: been outstanding, but getting him to play every night has 508 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,720 Speaker 1: been the key. So, like I said, those two consistently 509 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,840 Speaker 1: playing together plus one more trade piece of the deadline 510 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,879 Speaker 1: possibly can help them. They've definitely been the most disappointing 511 00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:19,439 Speaker 1: team to me, UH this season? UH, to you biggest 512 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:24,240 Speaker 1: surprise this season? My biggest surprise, I would have to 513 00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:27,520 Speaker 1: say as Houston, UM, nobody knew how they would jail. 514 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:29,680 Speaker 1: Nobody knew how this team would come together with everything 515 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:31,280 Speaker 1: the way they started with James and I want to 516 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:33,359 Speaker 1: be there. But now you see this thing starting to 517 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,240 Speaker 1: rolling all the deeper, settling in. John is kind of 518 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:38,960 Speaker 1: leading his team, and Boogie and the young kid Chris Wood, 519 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 1: they're really holding things down in the paint. So shout 520 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:44,560 Speaker 1: out to Steve Silence for for for dealing with the 521 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:46,439 Speaker 1: rough start of the ship. But now he got him 522 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:49,720 Speaker 1: smooth sailing. I'm happy with the way um Houston is rolling. 523 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 1: I agree that's a good call. I think probably my 524 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 1: surprise is the Utah Jazz um always a solid regular 525 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:00,240 Speaker 1: season team, so I kind of say this with a 526 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,600 Speaker 1: little hesitation because the regular season only means so much. 527 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,359 Speaker 1: But you know, they definitely put together a great start 528 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:09,639 Speaker 1: to the season, best record in the league, shooting the 529 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 1: three point ball, and an amazing clip and they're just 530 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:14,600 Speaker 1: a fun team to watch. Like I said, we compared 531 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 1: them to the San Antonio Spurs earlier, where you can 532 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:18,679 Speaker 1: just plug and play guys that they have a great system, 533 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,199 Speaker 1: great coach. You just plug guys in and they know 534 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:22,800 Speaker 1: what they have to do. So they've definitely been a 535 00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:24,720 Speaker 1: fun team for me to watch this year and looking 536 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:27,280 Speaker 1: forward to see what they do down the stretch. Next 537 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:31,879 Speaker 1: fan question and why I underscore Kid fifteen. If you 538 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:36,080 Speaker 1: had a third host, who would it be and why? Oh? 539 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:39,199 Speaker 1: Good question, good question. I got two people here. I 540 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:46,400 Speaker 1: would go with either Kendrick motherfucking Perkins, motherfucker for KG. 541 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:50,000 Speaker 1: I think obviously Kg's energy is electric. I think he 542 00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:53,399 Speaker 1: would being a crazy dynamic to the show. And then Perk. 543 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:56,400 Speaker 1: You know, Park cusses more than me and you put together, 544 00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,119 Speaker 1: we can get him off that perk just don't passing 545 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,199 Speaker 1: the wet blunt. And I think, yeah, so either one 546 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,480 Speaker 1: of those two dudes would be good with me. Uh me. 547 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 1: I would say a real motherfucker like Carrie Champion or 548 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:10,359 Speaker 1: Jamal Hill. I think a woman would be great on 549 00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:13,960 Speaker 1: our show to add to add another ship, talking dynamic, 550 00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,320 Speaker 1: some another woman that ain't two cents and if they 551 00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,359 Speaker 1: can take our ship talking but also no sports and 552 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:21,240 Speaker 1: there's a lot of females out there that no sports 553 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:24,720 Speaker 1: like we do. I think that would be a dope asset. Well, 554 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,040 Speaker 1: that'd be huge to have a female co host. That 555 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,600 Speaker 1: would be dope. I mean all that we're doing our thing, 556 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:33,439 Speaker 1: that would be dope. Close in the show with Quick hitters. Uh. 557 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:38,719 Speaker 1: First topic, Julius Randall twenty two point six, almost eleven 558 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:42,840 Speaker 1: rebounds of game, nearly six assists. Jack. Is he worthy 559 00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:46,400 Speaker 1: of his first All Star nod this year? I think so, man, 560 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:50,399 Speaker 1: I mean, hold up before you answer, before you answer, 561 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,199 Speaker 1: he's got the knicks in playoff contention right now on 562 00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:56,639 Speaker 1: top of it. Yeah, and it's you know me, I 563 00:25:56,680 --> 00:26:00,560 Speaker 1: gotta be real. This is every day. Always want to 564 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 1: Nick in the All Star Game for some reason. But 565 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:06,680 Speaker 1: he deserves it. You know, he deserves it. I'm just 566 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:08,959 Speaker 1: saying he deserved he playing well, bro with you know, 567 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 1: in a playoff picture and in the playoffs, there's two 568 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 1: different things, bro, you know what I'm saying. A lot 569 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,639 Speaker 1: of a lot of times, a lot of times you 570 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:18,680 Speaker 1: get overshadowed. I wasn't shot at and we made the 571 00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,520 Speaker 1: playoffs and I didn't make the All Star Game. But 572 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:24,040 Speaker 1: he definitely deserves it. And I just wanted them to 573 00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:26,159 Speaker 1: make it because making an All Star Game and not 574 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:31,400 Speaker 1: making the playoffs that's asinine. Uh No, I agree, he's 575 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:34,719 Speaker 1: definitely playing the part um. Glad he's found his spot, 576 00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 1: you know what I mean? In l A. You saw 577 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:39,239 Speaker 1: his potential in New Orleans you saw more potential, and 578 00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:41,960 Speaker 1: then in New York you've seen what kind of player 579 00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:43,639 Speaker 1: we all thought he could be. You know, he's a 580 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:45,840 Speaker 1: he's a bullout bull in the China shop out there. 581 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,520 Speaker 1: They just picked up Derek Rose yesterday in the trade, 582 00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 1: so hopefully that'll help them, uh strengthen their playoff picture. Um, 583 00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,440 Speaker 1: But as far as just individual accolades and and being 584 00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:58,800 Speaker 1: ready for an All Star, definitely think he deserves that 585 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:02,080 Speaker 1: nod this year. Next up, John Moran nearly nineteen points 586 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:05,000 Speaker 1: of game seven assists. Memphis is in the playoff mix. 587 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:09,800 Speaker 1: The West is loaded with guards. Jack Is Morant ready 588 00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:11,960 Speaker 1: for the All Star spotlight? Or will he get his 589 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:15,879 Speaker 1: opportunity this year? I mean, is he ready? Yeah, he's ready, 590 00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:18,560 Speaker 1: His game is ready. But will it happened? No, it 591 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:20,880 Speaker 1: won't happen. I mean he's he's a guy that we're 592 00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,240 Speaker 1: hiring on, we love, I'm a fan of. But you 593 00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:25,359 Speaker 1: gotta look at this competition right now in the West. 594 00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 1: There's too many guards that that that they're gonna throw 595 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,720 Speaker 1: ahead of him that's gonna make that team. But it 596 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:32,879 Speaker 1: does he deserve it? I think he does. But you've 597 00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,720 Speaker 1: got too many guards with bigger names. That that teams 598 00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:37,720 Speaker 1: is at the top of the Western Conference that he 599 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:39,399 Speaker 1: got to go up against and that and that's always 600 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:43,480 Speaker 1: the case. Yeah, And what kind of scares me about 601 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,240 Speaker 1: this situation, Jack, is it might be this way for 602 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,840 Speaker 1: a long time. You know, he's in that Memphis market. 603 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 1: There's the West is load of the guards, Damon, C. J. 604 00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:56,160 Speaker 1: Clay and steph Uh. You know Booker hasn't really got 605 00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:58,639 Speaker 1: is his nod yet. There's a lot of strong guards 606 00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:03,000 Speaker 1: in the West. Is Marans a game at All Star level? Definitely, 607 00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:05,960 Speaker 1: when he get that nod, it's gonna take out. I 608 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:07,720 Speaker 1: don't know what it's gonna take. I think his team 609 00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:09,640 Speaker 1: is gonna have to probably be like a top three 610 00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:13,119 Speaker 1: or four team for people to realize his importance. Um, 611 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:14,959 Speaker 1: but just as far as being an All Star, definitely 612 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,360 Speaker 1: think he has the talent, but it's gonna it might 613 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,200 Speaker 1: be a while before he actually gets an All Star 614 00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:23,120 Speaker 1: nod for the reasons we just mentioned. Christian would out 615 00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:26,919 Speaker 1: several weeks with an ankle injury. Obviously it's better than 616 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,640 Speaker 1: they thought, but he'll be down for a while. Jack, 617 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:32,400 Speaker 1: how does this affect the Rockets? Injuries are a part 618 00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:34,960 Speaker 1: of the game, as we know, but and and any 619 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:36,639 Speaker 1: time one of your guys go down, you have to 620 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:38,440 Speaker 1: look at the good side of it. And the flip 621 00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:41,320 Speaker 1: side is Boogie gets to go in. He should be 622 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:43,520 Speaker 1: starting to anyway in my mind. But he gets to 623 00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:45,600 Speaker 1: go and get more reps and get back in shape, 624 00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,920 Speaker 1: and it gives Chris Wood it's a chance to get stronger. 625 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,320 Speaker 1: He still doesn't have that NBA body. This is the 626 00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:53,280 Speaker 1: time for him to get stronger, kind of put a 627 00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:55,080 Speaker 1: little musc along so he can come back and deal 628 00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:56,960 Speaker 1: with the pushing and banging down there in the paint. 629 00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 1: But I I just look at the flip side of him. 630 00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:02,560 Speaker 1: It's the good side is Christian wouldn't get stronger, and 631 00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:04,120 Speaker 1: Bookie gets a chance to get back in the swing 632 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:08,160 Speaker 1: of things. Yes, and always the next guy up in 633 00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:10,440 Speaker 1: this league, and I agree that should be the starting 634 00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:13,640 Speaker 1: four and five for the Rockets. But just really happy 635 00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:16,080 Speaker 1: for Christian Wood and what he's been able to accomplish 636 00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,400 Speaker 1: and really find a home. And then again happy for 637 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:20,520 Speaker 1: Boogie to kind of get his funding back, get more 638 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,240 Speaker 1: minutes in that rotation and work his way back to 639 00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:25,560 Speaker 1: the level of play we all know and love Boogie 640 00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,800 Speaker 1: for Yesterday, Derek Rose was traded back to the New 641 00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:32,160 Speaker 1: York Knicks, reunited up with coach Tibbs, where he's played 642 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:35,720 Speaker 1: the best basketball of his career. Um Jack thoughts on 643 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:39,560 Speaker 1: Derek reunited with this coach but then going to the Knicks. 644 00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:43,440 Speaker 1: I mean I like it. I mean I think he 645 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,440 Speaker 1: was just you know, existing in uh in Detroit. I 646 00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:47,880 Speaker 1: think he can go there and kind of get a 647 00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:50,640 Speaker 1: new life back with the new coach. They got some 648 00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:53,840 Speaker 1: great young guards that quickly has been playing well, you know. 649 00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:57,440 Speaker 1: And uh they still have the young kid from Duke 650 00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:00,160 Speaker 1: what's his name, Matt Timber reminder pick all right, j 651 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:03,160 Speaker 1: r J. They still have him, Yeah, r J. Barrett 652 00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:05,200 Speaker 1: So but these uh, I love it. I love it. 653 00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:07,120 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna do great. Like I said, it's 654 00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:08,960 Speaker 1: anytime you get a change like that and going back 655 00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:10,880 Speaker 1: and playing in the garden, it gives you, It gives 656 00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:12,080 Speaker 1: you a new life. And I think that would be 657 00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:14,280 Speaker 1: a good fit for d Ros. Yeah. Happy for d 658 00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:17,000 Speaker 1: Ros reunited with TIBs. Um you know, want him to 659 00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:19,480 Speaker 1: find his form and his footing. Still thirty two, you know, 660 00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:21,400 Speaker 1: I still think he has a handful of years. But 661 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:22,880 Speaker 1: I also wanted to touch on the flip side of 662 00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 1: this trade and Dennis Smith and salute him. Man. He 663 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:26,320 Speaker 1: was someone who was at the end of the bench 664 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:29,239 Speaker 1: into to his rotation. He wasn't complaining, asked to go 665 00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:31,000 Speaker 1: to the D League just to keep his game fresh, 666 00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,480 Speaker 1: and then it gets an opportunity to get traded and 667 00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:36,000 Speaker 1: hopefully he'll get some time with Detroit. But definitely hats 668 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,200 Speaker 1: off to him because guys have been in that situation 669 00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,800 Speaker 1: and kind of been floated and they become fucked up 670 00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:43,080 Speaker 1: teammates and and and divided the locker room. But that 671 00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:45,840 Speaker 1: kid went about his business, Uh, you know, asked to 672 00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:48,200 Speaker 1: go down to the G League and now gets traded. 673 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,200 Speaker 1: So hopefully you get a new life in Detroit and 674 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:51,800 Speaker 1: get a chance to play. But happy for d Rods 675 00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:53,880 Speaker 1: again to be back with TIBs and hopefully you can 676 00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:55,360 Speaker 1: find some of that all star form he had with 677 00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:58,760 Speaker 1: him in Chicago. Jack, we both did something that we 678 00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:01,080 Speaker 1: said we shouldn't do. What was bet against the goat, 679 00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:04,400 Speaker 1: and he proved us wrong. Congratulations on the Bucks for 680 00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:07,960 Speaker 1: their second Super Bowl and Tom Brady for number seven. 681 00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:12,400 Speaker 1: UM incredible they dominated from start to finish. Thoughts on 682 00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:16,040 Speaker 1: the game yesterday, Uh, we said we shouldn't go against him, 683 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:18,480 Speaker 1: but we gotta I gotta reinyrate with Tom said. He said, 684 00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:21,040 Speaker 1: they haven't played good football all year. They haven't played 685 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:22,840 Speaker 1: their best game, and they wait to play their best 686 00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:24,680 Speaker 1: game of the year in the Super Bowl at home. 687 00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:27,320 Speaker 1: Shouts side to them, shout out, Shouts out to all 688 00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:30,160 Speaker 1: the black coaches in the head positions, man, and shout 689 00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:32,080 Speaker 1: out to that defense. I don't think the defense is 690 00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:35,080 Speaker 1: getting enough credit to shut Kansas City defense down. This 691 00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:38,560 Speaker 1: is the first my homes quarterback control team that didn't 692 00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:42,000 Speaker 1: get a touchdown. So shout out to the defense. Yeah, yeah, 693 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,000 Speaker 1: you know, being able to shut Kansasy's offense down. That 694 00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:47,840 Speaker 1: can completely agree, Um, what they were able to do. 695 00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:50,000 Speaker 1: You know, you touched them. They had kept saying they 696 00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,240 Speaker 1: hadn't played their best football. They obviously saved there for last, 697 00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:53,720 Speaker 1: but at one point they were seven and five and 698 00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:56,840 Speaker 1: then the Real Office seven straight wins going into the playoffs, 699 00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:01,680 Speaker 1: beating Washington, ending Drew Brees his career in New Orleans, 700 00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:05,040 Speaker 1: beating the m v P Aaron Rodgers, and then being 701 00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:07,040 Speaker 1: able to beat the next man that's supposed to be 702 00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:10,000 Speaker 1: replaced Brady, which was the Loans, and they completely shut 703 00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,360 Speaker 1: him down. Um, it was just a beautiful game. One 704 00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:15,320 Speaker 1: thing I love though. Two outside of Tampa based coaching 705 00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:18,120 Speaker 1: staff and and in the diversity within their coaching staff, 706 00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:21,360 Speaker 1: the people that Tom brought with him. Gronk showed up 707 00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:23,800 Speaker 1: big in this game. Two touchdowns, a b showed up 708 00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:27,000 Speaker 1: big in this game, big touchdown. Um, you know, and 709 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,200 Speaker 1: he was able to bring his guys with him and 710 00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:31,760 Speaker 1: to get a ring. So you know, there was a 711 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:34,000 Speaker 1: lot of talk about was it a Belichick team, whether 712 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,520 Speaker 1: it a Brady team. What Brady was able to do 713 00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:38,400 Speaker 1: to come over to the NFC and do what he's 714 00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:40,480 Speaker 1: been doing the a FC. His whole career was very 715 00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:43,640 Speaker 1: impressive and if it's not the most impressive feet of 716 00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:46,120 Speaker 1: his career is definitely up there at the top. Man again, 717 00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:51,240 Speaker 1: salute to the Goat and his seven rings. Coaches, directly 718 00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:54,960 Speaker 1: to the championship players, win championships. Jack. Before we forget, 719 00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,080 Speaker 1: we definitely want to shout out to former guests of 720 00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:02,160 Speaker 1: the program Charles Woodson and Calvin Johnson on being selected 721 00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:04,480 Speaker 1: to the Pro Football Hall of Fame last year. Man, 722 00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:07,600 Speaker 1: salute two of those guys. Happy for him and definitely 723 00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:13,680 Speaker 1: deserved it. Congrats Bros. Last, but not least Jack Um. 724 00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:18,880 Speaker 1: All Star is set in Atlanta, and I think, you know, 725 00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:20,920 Speaker 1: I've been doing a lot of talking on ESPN, and 726 00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:22,920 Speaker 1: everyone's been doing a lot of talking, but I don't 727 00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,360 Speaker 1: think we really listened to the players and in in 728 00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:28,200 Speaker 1: the In the last week, you've heard Lebron come out, 729 00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:30,440 Speaker 1: You've heard Dear and Fox come out. You've heard a 730 00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:32,320 Speaker 1: few other guys come out and say they really don't 731 00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:35,479 Speaker 1: want to play. And I think, you know me personally, 732 00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:37,640 Speaker 1: I think we obviously made a mistake on not listening 733 00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:39,320 Speaker 1: to the guys that have to actually do it. You know, 734 00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:41,000 Speaker 1: I was all for the All Star Game because I 735 00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,880 Speaker 1: think it's been great competition, the procedure, going to a 736 00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:47,240 Speaker 1: great cause, but at the same time, understanding the position 737 00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:50,160 Speaker 1: there in you know, with the crazy schedule last season 738 00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:53,440 Speaker 1: in the Bubble and then coming back to an abbreviated season, 739 00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:56,200 Speaker 1: but everything crammed on top of each other. I know 740 00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:57,840 Speaker 1: a lot of these guys were looking forward to just 741 00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:00,400 Speaker 1: getting five days off and spending with their family, and 742 00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:02,400 Speaker 1: now the NBA is pretty much forced them to do 743 00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:04,960 Speaker 1: the All Star Game. So you know, Um, on my behalf, 744 00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:07,200 Speaker 1: I kind of want to apologize because being a former player, 745 00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:08,680 Speaker 1: I think we should have thought more on what the 746 00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:10,719 Speaker 1: players really wanted to do instead of what the league 747 00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:13,560 Speaker 1: wanted to do. Yeah, and in the past, met it 748 00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:16,880 Speaker 1: made sense because the All Star weekend was beneficial for everybody. 749 00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:18,840 Speaker 1: If you do an All Star weekend, now it's just 750 00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:22,120 Speaker 1: beneficial for the league. The families can't come, the players 751 00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:24,319 Speaker 1: don't really want to be there, They can't really enjoy 752 00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:26,480 Speaker 1: the festivities of All Star weekend do to COVID and 753 00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:29,840 Speaker 1: everybody social distance. So no, this is this is a 754 00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:32,320 Speaker 1: selfish move by the NBA. And just like Caua I said, 755 00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:34,799 Speaker 1: it's only a business move. It has nothing to do 756 00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:36,440 Speaker 1: with the players. And you have to think about your 757 00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:40,080 Speaker 1: players because they don't want carrying your league. Absolutely, Like 758 00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:42,320 Speaker 1: I said, it was brought to my intention first with 759 00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:44,920 Speaker 1: Dear and Foxton and Lebron stamp to Kauai spoke on 760 00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:46,879 Speaker 1: and a couple other guys spoken, and we really gotta 761 00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:49,279 Speaker 1: listen to our players, especially in a season like this 762 00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:52,560 Speaker 1: with all the craziness that's been going on. Um, you know, 763 00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:55,719 Speaker 1: so I'm always gonna side with players, So unfortunately kind 764 00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:58,319 Speaker 1: of is what it is. Hopefully everyone stays injury free 765 00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:01,200 Speaker 1: and healthy and uh we and consume the second half 766 00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:03,240 Speaker 1: of the season once this is over.
