Speaker 1: What do you think you are right now?
Speaker 2: Oh shit, I don't even know. I probably I wouldn't
Speaker 2: even know. If I could make it forty yards, I
Speaker 2: might pull both calves, a hamstringer, a quad. Ain't no telling.
Speaker 2: He was on that. He was on that super pack
Speaker 2: and got him a sub five. I wasn't even mad
Speaker 2: at that in his fifties. Yeah, movement, welcome back, unplugged.
Speaker 2: Jack's good cool on my brother? How you man? I
Speaker 2: can't call it man? Just coming off the birthday weekend?
Speaker 2: You guys coming down tomorrow. Got a good little week
Speaker 2: out here for U?
Speaker 1: Which shoot, what'd you do? Man?
Speaker 2: I chilled? I went to UCLA, happened to have an
Speaker 2: alumni nights, so me Jilani, some other guys. I think
Speaker 2: Russell Westbrook showed up. You know a lot of former
Speaker 2: and are past and present Bruins went out there for
Speaker 2: the last ever Pac twelve game. You know the Pac
Speaker 2: twelve is you say, his mountain to the Big ten. Now,
Speaker 2: so went out there. It was a p people though,
Speaker 2: abandons were out there, so it was it was good
Speaker 2: to kind of catch up, you know with guys. I
Speaker 2: mean they had guys from like John Wooden's teams that
Speaker 2: he coached out there. There's a lot of history. So
Speaker 2: I just did it out of my birthday.
Speaker 1: Bro Chill.
Speaker 2: We've been doing so much shit with the show and
Speaker 2: the family and move and it was really just a
Speaker 2: guy's tonight. We went out and did that and grabbed
Speaker 2: some dinner. It was in bed by eleven o'clock. Nice
Speaker 2: Jack home stretch of the season. They got about about
Speaker 2: twenty games left. We're gonna go through something, buy Er Sell.
Speaker 2: See who's really out there doing it and who's out
Speaker 2: there pretending to do it? Jack byers Sell. Then Anthony
Speaker 2: Edwards is the next American face after the Lebron's and
Speaker 2: Steph's Kadi retire. You know there's guys like Booker, Jason Tatum,
Speaker 2: Polo jow Zion. Is Anthony Edwards the next American in
Speaker 2: line to carry that torch?
Speaker 3: I would say bye, he's you know, you still got
Speaker 3: Lebron and them all in the league right now. But
Speaker 3: he is a lot of people's favorite player right now,
Speaker 3: while all those guys in the league and he's mine.
Speaker 3: But except the fact that he plays on both ends
Speaker 3: of the ball, none of the stars were talking about
Speaker 3: play on both ends of the ball.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry.
Speaker 3: They're great scores, they're Hall of Famous, arguably the best
Speaker 3: of all time Lebron, but none of these guys play
Speaker 3: on both ends of the ball. Anthony Edwards plays on
Speaker 3: both ends of the ball. He has that Kobe attitude
Speaker 3: where he's willing to go out the best player at
Speaker 3: the games. He is old school, He's definitely I'm definitely
Speaker 3: buying Matt he is. He's definitely my favorite player in
Speaker 3: the league right now. Not when these guys leave, but
Speaker 3: right now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely making ways right now. He almost he almost
Speaker 2: put one down on AD last night. That would have
Speaker 2: been epic. It's interesting to see. I think that the
Speaker 2: next face can be a number of fans. I think
Speaker 2: it could be faces. You know, obviously Jizz must watch.
Speaker 2: I still don't think we've seen the best of Zion,
Speaker 2: Jason Tatum. You know, he focks running with the championship
Speaker 2: this year. He's only twenty six year years old. Devin Booker,
Speaker 2: you know, he's got a lot of games. So I
Speaker 2: think the next wave of American talent is strong. I
Speaker 2: think Edwards is right up there in the mix as
Speaker 2: far as faces or co faces. But I definitely feel
Speaker 2: like the NBA is in good hands as we slowly
Speaker 2: but surely come to the end of you know, a
Speaker 2: lot of and then you know they probably still got
Speaker 2: another two, three, possibly four years left, but you know
Speaker 2: that there's a new wave on the horizon with a
Speaker 2: lot of young tenna. Like you said, Jack, Anthony Edwards
Speaker 2: is a lot of people's favorite player now with all
Speaker 2: those great players in the league. Next up, can Victor
Speaker 2: winbin Yama win Defensive Player of the Year with the
Speaker 2: Spurs ranked twenty fourth in defense? And before you answer,
Speaker 2: his last nine games on the blocks ten blocks, three blocks,
Speaker 2: five blocks, five blocks, five blocks, four blocks, five blocks,
Speaker 2: six blocks, seven blocks. This dude is a monster. He's
Speaker 2: putting up offensive numbers as well. But Jack, can he
Speaker 2: be a defensive Player of the Year with his team
Speaker 2: ranked twenty four, you know, the bottom third of the
Speaker 2: league in defense?
Speaker 1: Well? I think so. Reason why I would say he
Speaker 1: is defensive player?
Speaker 3: Yeah, because if you put him on a on a
Speaker 3: on a better team, you're talking about him being defensive
Speaker 3: Player of the Year and MVP for the way he's playing.
Speaker 1: Look at his numbers.
Speaker 3: Look at his numbers and in his rookie season, So
Speaker 3: you put him on the on the on the team
Speaker 3: with another another guy, two other guys. He's on the
Speaker 3: best team in the league, averaging the best numbers on
Speaker 3: both ends of the ball.
Speaker 1: So I definitely have him been the defensive Player of
Speaker 1: the Year.
Speaker 3: He does so much for his team as far as
Speaker 3: not having another big guy down there, like Cat Williams,
Speaker 3: like Rudy has Cat. You know, I know Cat hurt
Speaker 3: right now, but he had Cat. He has He had
Speaker 3: Cat to have his back a lot of times. He's
Speaker 3: just a big fell out there. So what he's doing
Speaker 3: at a young age, he's still a kid. He's doing
Speaker 3: his first year. If he was on a different team,
Speaker 3: he'll be m v P and defensive player.
Speaker 1: Yea. In my mind, I.
Speaker 2: Don't know if Wenby wants Cat Williams out there for
Speaker 2: maybe another big.
Speaker 3: I mean whatever, what's what's his name? Karl Anthony Towns?
Speaker 3: Cat Towns, Yeah, Cat big Cat?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Did you see uh?
Speaker 1: So?
Speaker 2: Did you see Cat Willis running forty the other day?
Speaker 2: That ship was a sub faction like fifty seven years old.
Speaker 1: He was moving. What you think what you think you
Speaker 1: are on right now?
Speaker 2: Oh shit, I don't even know. I probably I wouldn't
Speaker 2: even know if I could make it forty yards, I
Speaker 2: might pull both calves, a hamstring or quad. Ain't no telling.
Speaker 2: He was on that, he was on that super pack
Speaker 2: and he got him a sub five. It wasn't even
Speaker 2: mad at that in his fifties. Yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah,
Speaker 2: oh yeah, aggressive bro, that's absolutely But I mean I agree.
Speaker 2: I mean, Weinby is special man, and I think he's
Speaker 2: living up to to what people thought. Obviously not huge
Speaker 2: crazy offensive numbers, but great still great offensive numbers. That
Speaker 2: what he's been able to do on the defensive end,
Speaker 2: and then land in the situation like san Antonio. I mean,
Speaker 2: san Antonio's drop now is just to be able to
Speaker 2: build around him. You know, he's got the infrastructure, he's
Speaker 2: got the discipline, he's got the skill set, got the game.
Speaker 2: So it's gonna be interesting to see what san Antonio
Speaker 2: could put around him the next few years. But yeah,
Speaker 2: I think it's up in the air Man. He's been
Speaker 2: playing amazing on the defensive end, so we'll have to see.
Speaker 2: Could this be the first ever was someone who has
Speaker 2: a bad defensive team but still has a defensive Player
Speaker 2: of the Year. Next up, Di'angelo Russell trading block D'Angelo
Speaker 2: Russell has been something different since January first. He's been
Speaker 2: averaging twenty two and six, shooting forty five percent from
Speaker 2: the three, really at times, carrying the Lakers. You know,
Speaker 2: I get a chance to see him a lot out here. Man,
Speaker 2: he's been playing really well. He had a quote the
Speaker 2: other day that said, public amiliation has molded me into
Speaker 2: the killers. To the killer y'all see today. I've never
Speaker 2: lacked confidence, I've never feel confrontation. I want all the
Speaker 2: motherfucking smoke. I want to talk about it. So he's
Speaker 2: been playing really well, Jack. Can we count on this
Speaker 2: we haven't necessarily seen it in the playoffs. Can we
Speaker 2: count on this same person that is doing work now
Speaker 2: in the playoffs?
Speaker 1: Nope?
Speaker 3: I mean he's doing great right now. I want to
Speaker 3: see it in the playoffs. I didn't see it. I
Speaker 3: haven't seen it. I just don't see him being that
Speaker 3: big of a mark for his team to get over
Speaker 3: the hump in the playoffs. Like you, as you know, Matt,
Speaker 3: they take stuff away from you, A lot of stuff
Speaker 3: you're doing right now.
Speaker 1: They're gonna take all that shit away. And I haven't
Speaker 1: seen him do it.
Speaker 3: And no big moments and no big games nowhere, So yeah,
Speaker 3: it look good right now in regular season to win
Speaker 3: a count, We'll see if he can show up.
Speaker 2: I think that's the biggest key.
Speaker 1: Can he do it?
Speaker 2: Last year in the playoffs he only averaged thirteen points
Speaker 2: a game on thirty percent shooting from deep. There was
Speaker 2: times where he didn't even play, you know, because he
Speaker 2: was a liability on the defensive end too, So I
Speaker 2: don't know. I think there was a lot of talk
Speaker 2: about his playing, his consistency leading into the trade deadline,
Speaker 2: which put him, you know, up for trade consideration, and
Speaker 2: he woke up. So we'll see if that shit can
Speaker 2: carry on obviously through the remainder of the season, but
Speaker 2: like you said, most importantly in the playoffs, because they can.
Speaker 2: I mean, Jack, they were your dark horse last week,
Speaker 2: and I've been saying the whole entire year. I feel
Speaker 2: like this team is built for the playoffs. They just
Speaker 2: have to get there. They've been playing a lot better basketball,
Speaker 2: and don't be surprised if the Lakers make a run,
Speaker 2: but they will need the D'Angel Russell is playing right
Speaker 2: now because he is definitely an integral part of what
Speaker 2: they got going on, playing really well when the teams
Speaker 2: play well over raw to Svincer coming back, I don't know.
Speaker 2: He might have just took the money and said fuck
Speaker 2: the world. Yeah, yeah, they talking about ya. He's supposed
Speaker 2: to come back, so we shall see. We forgot about him.
Speaker 2: He played really well in Miami for the playoffs, so
Speaker 2: we'll see any plays d Yeah, see if he comes back.
Speaker 2: Switching gears right now to the women's game. I saw
Speaker 2: you post something the other day that you feel like
Speaker 2: the women's game is is bigger than the men's and
Speaker 2: on the college front, and I would have to agree
Speaker 2: with you. Big games this past week in South Carolina
Speaker 2: versus LSU, there was some smoke Jack. I know you
Speaker 2: watched the game. What was your uh, what was your
Speaker 2: evaluation of the overall game and the competitiveness of the game.
Speaker 1: Bro. I woke up. I woke up yesterday. My homeboy
Speaker 1: called me.
Speaker 3: The first thing he say, Bro, you're watching the games today,
Speaker 3: And both of them said at the same time, Yeah,
Speaker 3: Caitlin play uh South Carolina play all girl games. We
Speaker 3: did mentioned one male game, Bro, And and I love
Speaker 3: the women's basketball right now. I'm a big fan. I
Speaker 3: hope I can make some soccer a lot of games.
Speaker 3: That's list games. But I love it, Matt, because you
Speaker 3: don't see passion like that man's game, no more like
Speaker 3: you obviously it was you don't want to see the
Speaker 3: fighting and stuff like that. But the bumping and the
Speaker 3: trash talking they was doing. I loved that because these
Speaker 3: girls are becoming real, more and more confident, and they're
Speaker 3: becoming better in basketball.
Speaker 1: They're skilled, They're skill. Love is running through the roof
Speaker 1: right now, so.
Speaker 3: They so now they can talk to talk and walk
Speaker 3: the walk and you have more than two or three
Speaker 3: players on the court doing it right, So I'm I'm
Speaker 3: excited to see the passion. Obviously, you don't want people
Speaker 3: jumping over the stands and guys, lage, tell your brother
Speaker 3: to chill out. Okay, you're not jumping over there to
Speaker 3: hit no girl, bro, chill out. It wasn't a man
Speaker 3: on the court, bro. And now you're gonna have to
Speaker 3: watch all the games from from a bar nearby because
Speaker 3: you never go out in there again.
Speaker 1: Bro forever. Bro. But what was I Bro?
Speaker 3: You're not gonna hear no woman, so stay you see.
Speaker 3: But anyway, I like the emotions. I hate I hate
Speaker 3: that that Uh, the South Carolina center gonn missed the
Speaker 3: first game of the playoffs of a tournament, but they
Speaker 3: still can win that. But just the passion that the
Speaker 3: game and the see and to see these two great teams,
Speaker 3: two great players, go go add it in women's basketball.
Speaker 1: I loved the man, I love I loved it.
Speaker 3: I'm Don Stateley is my favorite player of all time,
Speaker 3: so I'm a big fan of Don state So what.
Speaker 2: Did you think, speaking of Don Stalely about the two
Speaker 2: coaches kind of take on it. You know, Don Staley
Speaker 2: was really kind of apologetic and kind of felt it
Speaker 2: took away from you know, what those girls were accomplishing
Speaker 2: on the court. You know, sometimes emotions get ahead of themselves.
Speaker 2: You know, we get ahead of our emotions, and you know,
Speaker 2: some shit happens. And then on the flip side, the
Speaker 2: LSU coach said, you know, it's not a good look.
Speaker 2: No one wants to be a part of that. But
Speaker 2: she wishes that how do you say the girls last
Speaker 2: name Cardoza, that Cardoza would have pushed Andel Reese instead
Speaker 2: of flaw So two different takes. I felt like if
Speaker 2: Don Staley would have said that, they would have been
Speaker 2: on her ass. But Don Staley took the high road
Speaker 2: and said, you know, she wants it to be about
Speaker 2: the game and not necessarily what happened, you know, in
Speaker 2: that one little ugly moment. But then the LSU coach
Speaker 2: Kim went on and talking about pushing someone your own side,
Speaker 2: So thoughts on kind of the players, excuse me of
Speaker 2: the coaches.
Speaker 3: You know, don don don't even allow her allow her
Speaker 3: players to throw up peace signs in their pitchers, right
Speaker 3: showing them no hand justice, Like we're gonna be professionally,
Speaker 3: were doing this the right way because if she taught that,
Speaker 3: that's what they expected. They're expecting. Don to have these
Speaker 3: girls out there on some ghetto shit, you know what
Speaker 3: I'm saying. And and and I love the fact that
Speaker 3: she has a team full of black women that she
Speaker 3: teaching to do it the right way.
Speaker 1: Is about the game.
Speaker 3: She lead them the right way to the best basketball
Speaker 3: team or the way that went eight out of ten
Speaker 3: SEC championships in the last ten years. So, bro, she
Speaker 3: doing it the right way. They can't wait, like Jilanna say,
Speaker 3: they got their foot out, They got their little foot
Speaker 3: out there. The clip dawn up too. So she doing
Speaker 3: it the right way. She's staying on game and she
Speaker 3: watching everything, she handling.
Speaker 1: It the right way. Salute the darn stateent.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I definitely wanted to salute because you know, we
Speaker 2: we we've been in some shit and and the fact
Speaker 2: that you know, she's a former player, has been to
Speaker 2: the top of mountain. Like you said, she wants to
Speaker 2: set a president with these women and let them know
Speaker 2: the right and wrong way to move. And you saw
Speaker 2: immediate laughter the game. The cardoz Are issued an apology
Speaker 2: and and on their behalf. So I really like the way, uh,
Speaker 2: you know, don is even yeah running her ship out
Speaker 2: and they spoke as well. But at the end, I'm
Speaker 2: not mad at a little aggressiveness, like you said, the
Speaker 2: ship talking, the level of competitiveness that sometimes that spills
Speaker 2: over in the game. I'm glad that no one was hurt.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: You know, unfortunately a couple of people are going to
Speaker 2: be suspended for the first round, but those are both
Speaker 2: two good teams, so they're not you know, they'll be
Speaker 2: able to move on. But I just love again the
Speaker 2: energy around the women's game right now. I saw KG
Speaker 2: and Paul talking about it on their show. Can you
Speaker 2: name the top five college men's player right now and
Speaker 2: we can't, but we can.
Speaker 1: Name you know, I can name three, and because I
Speaker 1: coached them all and I.
Speaker 2: Was a game, you're one of the very cute. I mean,
Speaker 2: I think that says a lot.
Speaker 1: Jack.
Speaker 2: You know, we can laugh about it now, but it's
Speaker 2: always been the men's game and then the women's game.
Speaker 2: It's particularly in college, you know, but I would definitely
Speaker 2: have to say that, you know, the women's game is
Speaker 2: in a really good place right now, and I'm happy
Speaker 2: for them and definitely looking forward to the men's tournament too.
Speaker 2: I mean, the tournament time and to me is the
Speaker 2: best time for basketball during the year. So I'm definitely
Speaker 2: looking forward to being able to watch both men and
Speaker 2: women's n C double as. But Jack, who is your pick?
Speaker 2: Let's go on the women's side. Who's who? Who's your
Speaker 2: Who's your pick to win it all?
Speaker 1: Man, I'm going to South Carolina. Uh. They stay to
Speaker 1: the course, they continue to do what they're doing.
Speaker 3: They got some young players, Matt, they got the freshman
Speaker 3: of the year in SEC, and they got a slew
Speaker 3: of young guards. Even even the senior I can't think
Speaker 3: of her name right now. It starts with the peep.
Speaker 3: But she's coming back next year. So I got the
Speaker 3: winning and Matt, I think they got a great.
Speaker 1: Group of guys. They lost five starters.
Speaker 2: To the to the lot of great great group of women,
Speaker 2: not a great group of guys, get yourself.
Speaker 1: Excuse me, great group of women. They lost.
Speaker 3: They lost five starters to the W team last year
Speaker 3: in the lottery, damn.
Speaker 1: And they back undefeated. So that says a lot about
Speaker 1: this tea.
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely. I mean, obviously, you know we've talked about
Speaker 2: Donna when she's done with his program. I just want
Speaker 2: to see good I mean, I want to see Kaylyn
Speaker 2: Clark go out with a bang. I'm a big fan
Speaker 2: of you know, I love what Juju is doing out
Speaker 2: here at USC. I don't know if they're gonna have
Speaker 2: enough to really be able to compete, but I think
Speaker 2: they're going They're gonna mess around and get a one seed.
Speaker 2: So we'll have to see how SC does. And then
Speaker 2: you know, South Carolina's chasing that undefeated championship man, so
Speaker 2: it's definitely gonna be exciting. That transitioning into boxing something
Speaker 2: we both want to do a little bit in our day.
Speaker 2: Anthony Josh Brugal knockout of Franciscan Ghanu to forgive the
Speaker 2: pronunciation in the second round. Francis has made thirty million
Speaker 2: in his last two fights compared to his last image,
Speaker 2: I really made six hundred K. So you have thought
Speaker 2: on him kind of jumping in the deep water off
Speaker 2: the rip. I kind of respect it. Some people don't
Speaker 2: like it, and you obviously you have to respect the
Speaker 2: craft and the level. But it takes a lot of heart,
Speaker 2: man to get in there with these dudes that are
Speaker 2: been training their whole life do this. But where was
Speaker 2: your thought? Uh? I mean, I mean in Joshua.
Speaker 3: I respect uh in Ghana. You know, he's a fighter,
Speaker 3: point blank. He feels he you know, he had a
Speaker 3: successful bout against Tyson Fury and he wanted to really
Speaker 3: test himself against a guy like Anthony Joshua. And as
Speaker 3: you know, you know, UFC and boxing is two different thing.
Speaker 3: So somebody's been training in boxing their whole life, Olympian
Speaker 3: gold medals and stuff like that, they gonna knock out
Speaker 3: any UFC fighter that come in there. And UFC has
Speaker 3: the advantage and the and the and the anday on
Speaker 3: the flip side. So but uh, I'm a fan of
Speaker 3: the Ghana I'm a fan of Joshua. I kind of
Speaker 3: felt like I knew how that was gonna go because
Speaker 3: Joshua is such a period box he's been doing it
Speaker 3: for so long. But but but Gana is is somebody
Speaker 3: that can shake up the boxing world, as you've seen
Speaker 3: him knock down Tyson Furry. So I'm a boxing fan,
Speaker 3: so it was good to see. But I just I
Speaker 3: just don't see nobody coming from the USC and making
Speaker 3: a big name in boxing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's a big jump. It's a big jump.
Speaker 2: Like you said, I mean, that's training your whole life
Speaker 2: to do something and then switching it up at this point.
Speaker 2: You know, you got to have a lot of respect
Speaker 2: to get in that ring. But also he's not I
Speaker 2: mean in two fights, he's made more thirty million than
Speaker 2: he's made ever made, you know what I mean. And
Speaker 2: he's been to the top of the mountain in the UFC.
Speaker 2: So I'm not mad at the crossover. I like to
Speaker 2: see people taking those chances. Like you said, I mean,
Speaker 2: it's it's it's it's a twenty four hour, three sixty
Speaker 2: seven or three sixty five job that you know, these
Speaker 2: guys got to realize they're going into and like you said,
Speaker 2: on the flip side, in the cage. Obviously, I wouldn't
Speaker 2: see a boxer doing anything in the cage either, because
Speaker 2: it's just so much different. So respect to those guys.
Speaker 2: Congratulations to Joshua the risk one fight that you did.
Speaker 2: She I didn't even see that even card.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, no, she won. She in the PFL, Oh
Speaker 1: did she? Yeah? She won a last fight up.
Speaker 2: Congratulations.
Speaker 3: Like basketball players can play any sport, everybody else came.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 2: I mean obviously you've seen you know, Dion and Bow
Speaker 2: crossover and play baseball. I think you know, you've seen
Speaker 2: a lot of college basketball players who didn't make college
Speaker 2: basketball jump to the NFL and play tight end. I
Speaker 2: think there are some crossovers. I think the NBA would
Speaker 2: be really hard. I mean you've seen people who thought
Speaker 2: they could do it. You know, you've seen Roy Jones
Speaker 2: take his hand in. Then you see t O take
Speaker 2: his hand in it Master p had you know, had
Speaker 2: to run. You can't be mad at but it's it's tough.
Speaker 2: I mean, the NBA is a tough crossover. It's a
Speaker 2: very tough crossover. So you've seen it done in other
Speaker 2: professional rankings. But I don't really know. I don't want
Speaker 2: to sound like the NBA is you know, end all
Speaker 2: be all, But I really haven't seen no one jump
Speaker 2: from something else into the NBA. A fight that you're
Speaker 2: not happy with. Jack, You've been letting know your displeasure
Speaker 2: about this Jake Paul and Mike Tyson fight LO twenty
Speaker 2: that you will not be watching. That I'll definitely be
Speaker 2: tuned into. But Jack, tell me why you're not fucking
Speaker 2: with this fight. I think it's gonna be crazy.
Speaker 3: I'm a big Mike Tyson fan, somebody who I really
Speaker 3: ad my man, just the ups and downs with his
Speaker 3: life and how he you know, made love to the
Speaker 3: bad times and still here doing big things. I just
Speaker 3: don't want him to go out there and and and
Speaker 3: risk his legacy dealing with a guy like Jake Paul,
Speaker 3: Because if Jake Paul hit him and knock him out,
Speaker 3: I'm somebody gonna somebody's gonna hurt Ja Paul.
Speaker 1: For real if he knocked my Tyson out. And I'm
Speaker 1: I'm just.
Speaker 3: Telling, but somebody's gonna wait outside and hurt him for real.
Speaker 3: Because now now you're making a mockery. You're making a
Speaker 3: mockery our legends dog. You're trying to make a mockery
Speaker 3: out our legends, dog, So I ain't. I ain't with that.
Speaker 3: I ain't with that, and then this is the thing
Speaker 3: with me, Matt. Salute to Jake Paul for everything he doing.
Speaker 3: But it's been five to ten professional boxes your age
Speaker 3: that's been calling you out. So at this point, if
Speaker 3: you want to be create a circus, then let us
Speaker 3: know so we can stop watching. But if you still
Speaker 3: if you're trying to be a boxer boxer, which I
Speaker 3: don't think you will.
Speaker 1: I think you just it being entertainer making money.
Speaker 3: I can't hate him for that, but as a boxing fan,
Speaker 3: I don't want to watch that shit and not damn
Speaker 3: so don't want to see him possible embarrassed Mike Tyson
Speaker 3: because I ain't saying he will.
Speaker 1: But this is boxing. Anything can happen, and Mike, Mike
Speaker 1: is up in age.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Mike is pushing sixty if I'm not mistaken, But
Speaker 2: I still seen Mike move and Mike is still moving
Speaker 2: fast and punching hard. Boy. I mean, I would still
Speaker 2: be scared if I was Jake Paul getting in that
Speaker 2: motherfucking ring. I'm not mad at Jake's hustle either. I mean,
Speaker 2: he's made a ship ton of money doing this risk
Speaker 2: and yeah, and if he has a plan, I'm not mad.
Speaker 2: I mean, you got think what if he had eight fights?
Speaker 2: Nine fights? So, I mean, you know, he's obviously still
Speaker 2: trying to climb up that ladder. But I would like
Speaker 2: to one day, like you said, Jack, crossover and see
Speaker 2: if you're really really for it. You know, he lost
Speaker 2: a fury, but if he's really ready to make that jump.
Speaker 2: But in the meantime, he's getting a whole lot of
Speaker 2: money to do what he's doing. Man, So I ain't
Speaker 2: even matter. And I'll definitely be tuned.
Speaker 3: In mooshin casing it's ten and oh he and he
Speaker 3: not too far out your weight. He calls you out
Speaker 3: a couple of times. You know a lot of people
Speaker 3: in your camp, So give Moush to try. You're a
Speaker 3: real boxer. That's how I seen rockmand little brother, not
Speaker 3: the one, not the other one, the real the one
Speaker 3: that's a real professional box Come see him.
Speaker 2: We shall see. Yeah, but I'll be tuned. In July twentieth,
Speaker 2: NBA projects a European Middle Eastern basketball ecosystem that they're
Speaker 2: going to start building Jack. I mean, I just think
Speaker 2: this is a sign of the global games. You know,
Speaker 2: they got the NBA Africa project that we possibly could
Speaker 2: be going out messing with and in a couple of
Speaker 2: months the game is growing.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: They want to get the game physically played on other continents,
Speaker 2: So the NBA is starting to put some bread out
Speaker 2: there to make that happen. What do you think the
Speaker 2: overall plan with these small steps are for the NBA.
Speaker 3: Not just to just say it's a global game, to
Speaker 3: actually let it be a physically global game where you
Speaker 3: can see NBA in four different countries and and and
Speaker 3: finding at the end of each season, whoever wins in
Speaker 3: those countries, you're gonna end up seeing planning have a
Speaker 3: real world championship because the NBA gonna be in so
Speaker 3: many different places. So I think that's the aim they started.
Speaker 3: Like you said, they started Africa, they're doing all these
Speaker 3: other places. And I think they they're trying to get
Speaker 3: a hold of the talent because it's so much talent everywhere.
Speaker 3: And uh, I think it's just trying to get keep
Speaker 3: tabs on all this stuff.
Speaker 1: In different places.
Speaker 3: And I have these kids travel so far to be
Speaker 3: seen they'll be able to see in their own environment.
Speaker 1: So I think it's a good thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I'll be interesting. I mean, I think this
Speaker 2: is some ways down the road, you know, obviously with
Speaker 2: you know, with with your vision, obviously their vision too.
Speaker 2: You know, eventually of a world dominance. There is a
Speaker 2: ton of talent now. I mean you look at our game,
Speaker 2: you look at the NBA alone, it's it's head up
Speaker 2: by a lot of you know, overseas players, you know,
Speaker 2: people from across the water. So definitely interesting to see
Speaker 2: how that plays out. The NCAA is coming to so
Speaker 2: the Men's College Basketball Nil Tournament is offering winners up
Speaker 2: to two million dollars of NIL money, slated for the
Speaker 2: upcoming twenty twenty five season. Obviously, this is taking in
Speaker 2: the footsteps of the Ncason Tournament with the NBA, but
Speaker 2: they got some big name schools. Duke, Kansas, Alabama, Florida, Atlantic, Houston, Oregon,
Speaker 2: San Diego State, Virginia and Houston have all been in
Speaker 2: discussions to be a part of that tournament. Jack, is
Speaker 2: this a real We talked about this not too long ago,
Speaker 2: and part of the reason why the women's game has
Speaker 2: grown so much is because these young kids don't have
Speaker 2: to go to college no more. They can go several
Speaker 2: different routes to you know, get to their dream get
Speaker 2: to their dream destination, which is the league. Is this
Speaker 2: a kind of a ploy to hopefully lure some more
Speaker 2: talented kids that normally would go to college back to
Speaker 2: going to college.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so. I think.
Speaker 3: You know, now, now you've finally giving these kids a
Speaker 3: chance to take care of themselves and take care of
Speaker 3: their family whiley in college, while they can go get
Speaker 3: a degree in place swarts in these colleges. So I
Speaker 3: think it's a great thing. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: That gives them an extra incentive to want to go.
Speaker 3: Now you can make the money, you don't have to
Speaker 3: have a crazy job. You still can get your education,
Speaker 3: and you can know you can still be a kid,
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: You don't have to jump straight from school.
Speaker 3: And be a be an adult like we had to do,
Speaker 3: start paying bills and take care of your whole family
Speaker 3: at a young age. You still could be a kid
Speaker 3: and grow in college and make money at the same time.
Speaker 1: So I love it.
Speaker 2: Mat Yeah, I'm not mad at this. I'm definitely looking
Speaker 2: forward to seeing it because I still felt like, you know,
Speaker 2: on top of my long NBA career, I loved college.
Speaker 2: I had a great time in college. So anything to
Speaker 2: do to get these kids back going to college, I'm
Speaker 2: for Jack. Next week, we've coming off two big hitters.
