148
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 4: he did have something to say about Cooper flag and

149
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 4: obviously he would know, being a former number one pick,

150
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 4: maybe the greatest number one pick of all time. He

151
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 4: thought some had some words for Cooper and what the

152
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 4: expectations will be here as what we said.

153

Speaker 7: can play with the ball, can.

157
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 3: Play without the ball.

158
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:27,720
Speaker 7: You know, his jump shot is going to continue to

159
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 7: get better, super athletic quick second jump. And also he

160
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 7: gets to join the team that's established right with Hall

161
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 7: of Fame guys Klay Thompson, Anthony Davis, Kyrie, Irvin right

162
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,600
Speaker 7: off the bat Hall of fame coach Jason Kidd. You know,

163
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 7: these guys are like they're gonna they can give him

164
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 7: the whole blueprint while he continues to learn what his

165
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 7: blueprint will be. And I think that's going to be

166
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 7: an incredible thing for him to have that type of presence,

167
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 7: that type of leadership, you know, just basketball IQ and

168
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 7: knowledge around every single day from those those those pieces.

169
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 7: So I think he's gonna be amazing.

170
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 4: As much as I've actually it robbed you, you or

171
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 4: that you can be the proof of this. Much as

172
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 4: I lately have seen the disagree with quite a bit

173
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 4: about what Lebron he's either done or said, this is

174
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 4: one time I actually can agree.

175
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 3: That's a MINDI Game podcast. He and Steve Nash, of course.

176
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 5: A refreshing look at the at the NBA and basket

177
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 5: sit But you don't want to sit back and have

178
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 5: wine and just talk about it. Well, it's just you know,

179
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 5: they're supposed to be breaking down the game, and last

180
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 5: week they were talking about ring culture, So that was

181
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 5: a whole Sometimes you become the enemy you want to see.

182
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 4: They come become a whole. That was a whole conversation.

183
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 4: Me and Rob definitely are yelled at each other about that.

184
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 3: But this why you changed the rules, all right, And.

185
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 4: This one with Cooper flag reason why I actually can

186
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 4: hear what he's saying and kind of and can agree.

187
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,119
Speaker 4: What we've seen lately Martin is these number one picks

188
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 4: come in and they've been nineteen. In his case, he'll

189
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 4: be eighteen, you know, kind of like how well not

190
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 4: Kobe come out high school. Kobe was seventeen when he

191
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 4: got drafted. It's just crazy. But these guys are coming

192
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 4: in so young. They're coming in eighteen, nineteen twenty, and

193
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 4: they're expected to be franchised changers at such a young

194
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 4: age because, as we all know, most of the time

195
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 4: you're getting drafted high, you're going to a bad team.

196
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 4: And some of these teams have been perennially bad, just

197
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 4: bad constantly. So hey, come change our franchise, lamel Le Ball, Hey, Paulo,

198
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 4: Ben Carol, you're really good, and I think we all agrees,

199
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 4: really good. But it's gonna take time. I gotta build up,

200
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 4: I gotta get people around me, and the expectations are high.

201
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 4: And then to me, you start the flounder. You're just

202
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 4: around you, just a guy. You start getting bad habits.

203
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,079
Speaker 4: Maybe you're having a bad moment on yourself because like, man,

204
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 4: I thought I was good. Why we you know you

205
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 4: hear this a lot of times, guys. All my life,

206
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 4: I was winning, won two three high school championships. When

207
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 4: my AAU team won, I went to college and maybe

208
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:47,959
Speaker 4: I didn't win it all, but we were in the

209
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 4: sweet sixteen, and then I get to the NBA and

210
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 4: it's the first time I'm losing. You hear guys say

211
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 4: that that weighs on you. So to me, Lebron has

212
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,079
Speaker 4: a good point. And if you get to a team,

213
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 4: Kyrie's gonna be the most player, right Kyrie is once

214
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 4: he gets back and he's healthy and he's running, But

215
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 4: Kyrie is gonna be the guy.

216
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 3: Anthony Davis is the guy. You get to be a

217
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 3: part of this.

218
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 4: You also have the idea that folks are saying, Man,

219
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 4: we had Luca.

220
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 3: We know you're not Luca. We're excited about what's to come.

221
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 4: But I think there's gonna be a patience that has

222
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 4: been afforded to you because if we know Luca just left,

223
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 4: we know the team isn't like it was. You know

224
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 4: now will be with two seasons ago, So there will

225
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 4: be a patience, and I think that can work well

226
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 4: with you. You can be a Kawhi Leonard. No, you know

227
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 4: you come in he was a higher pick, not number one?

228
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 4: Was he twelve thirteen? Is something like that. You come

229
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,679
Speaker 4: into the Spurs, they already got a bunch of guys.

230
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 4: You can be Tim Duncan how and Spurs mess around

231
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 4: and get the number one pick when they were a

232
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 4: good team back in his day ninety eight. So you

233
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 4: get these high guys and you get to be in

234
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 4: there with other Hall of famers or solid veterans or

235
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 4: really good guys.

236
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 3: We can grow.

237
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 4: We got a culture, we got a system, and I

238
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 4: can then eventually get that mantle.

239
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 3: You can pass the baton and we can go somewhere.

240
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 4: And also again the fans expectation, where be our safe

241
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 4: b Lonzo Bald the Lakers saved the Lakers. Magic said,

242
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 4: you're gonna take his stats down, his jersey down.

243
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 3: You're gonna be the guy.

244
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 4: I think that happens way too often in the NBA

245
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 4: with these it's on an impossibility to ask this young

246
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 4: man nineteen to change everything happens so rarely. So to me,

247
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 4: I get what Lebron is saying, you get to come

248
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 4: in a team that has some veterans, a team that

249
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 4: a couple of guys who won rings and Kyrie in

250
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 4: ad slow developing, not expecting you to change everything. And

251
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 4: then year two or three Cooper can bust on the scene,

252
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 4: be that guy and it'll be like to me, a

253
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 4: perfect roll out if you will.

254
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 3: Where now this is your team, You're the guy. Here

255
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 3: you go.

256
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 4: The baton has passed you because too many times guys

257
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 4: have all the expectation of the world on a nineteen

258
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 4: year old he come change his franchise.

259
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 5: If we see guys, there have been a handful of

260
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 5: guys that can do it in the last fifteen years.

261
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 5: I'd say the only number one of the two number

262
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 5: one overall picks that really changed the direction of a

263
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 5: franchise would be number one Anthony Edwards and two Paolo

264
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 5: ban Caro. And I'd say outside of that, that's not

265
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 5: that's just that's yeah, it just doesn't happen.

266
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 3: Any Davis came out.

267
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 5: But again, the Pelicans did not truly change their trajectory

268
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 5: to not become like Ben Carroll has been in the

269
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 5: playoffs the last two years, even though they have not

270
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 5: won a round. Anthony Everards has been back to back

271
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 5: conference finals, right, And I know that people say what

272
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 5: you will, but hell, Haliburton, you know what I'm saying,

273
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,559
Speaker 5: like such as us got hurt who asked Dirix, I

274
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 5: don't care. I'm not an English teacher. So I just

275
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 5: watched the games and say, hey, you know what, that

276
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 5: team's in the Western Conference finals. They're probably pretty good,

277
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 5: and they weren't before he got exactly you're right, and

278
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 5: he you can see that he's the straw, the straw

279
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 5: that that starts to drink there with Cooper flag the

280
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 5: thing that I think this is the best case scenario

281
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:53,680
Speaker 5: for him because to your point, into I guess to

282
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 5: both of our points, there is a handful.

283
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 3: It is rare. It is a it. The idea that

284
00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 3: you were getting a rookie in general that turns around

285
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 3: it changes your franchise is rare. The idea even more

286
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 3: that you are getting in with the number one overall

287
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 3: pick is that much rare. Rourt right, Like, I bet

288
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 3: you the Philadelphia seventy six ers would have wished that

289
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 3: they had taken Jason Tatum instead of Mark ll Folts, right, Like,

290
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 3: however you.

291
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 5: Feel about Jason Tatum. You know you feel better about

292
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 5: it than you do Mark l Full, Right, And so

293
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 5: this is all a very inexact science, and I actually

294
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 5: I'm happy that he is going to a place where

295
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 5: he has a long stretch of veteran runway in Kyrie

296
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 5: and Anthony Davis, who are going to be expected in

297
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 5: my opinion, when healthy. I know Kyrie is not gonna

298
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 5: be back for probably miss most of this season, so

299
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 5: this is maybe a year two type of thing. But

300
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 5: when the team is really good, if Kyrie is still

301
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 5: able to do that, he's going to be a guy

302
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 5: expected to take a lot of shots, expected to be

303
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 5: a primary ball handler, because I'm not sure if Cooper

304
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 5: Flag's gonna be able to would be able to do

305
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 5: that at the highest level day one in the league.

306
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 4: I know you had some thoughts on what Brian Scalabrini

307
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 4: had to say about him as well, right, because he

308
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 4: had some thoughts about Cooper Flag, yes, and what could

309
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 4: be So I want to hear that from you as well.

310
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 4: On the other side, it's the odd couple Martin's in

311
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 4: for Rob. Who knows what Rob? Matter of fact, let

312
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 4: me check his instagram. What am I talking about? We

332
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 3: in the song about something in.

00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 5: The super Yeah you hell, that's what you hit do Supero,

334
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 5: So that in the name of the song was super rue.

335
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 3: Oh yeah. And then but it'd be they're like.

336
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 4: Seventeen year old, they're kids, so super would that be

337
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 4: cool to find a way to include them into something.

338
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 5: So what they so, this is what they did. This

339
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 5: This is a band on TikTok called the Paradox. Look

340
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 5: them up, rob g and blow your mind. But they

341
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 5: what they did was they changed the name of the

342
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 5: song to do me like that instead of super Ru

343
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 5: and recorded the video with the super Ru in the

344
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 5: background like a super Woo dealership, Like did it in

345
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 5: like the median of the street.

346
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 3: Is the super Roo in the background? Take that super right?

347
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 3: So I like that. That's what they did say. But

348
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 3: super this is where you need some young people. Take

349
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 3: that for data.

350
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 4: Take that for data. Super super Bow cut a opportunity

351
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 4: super Roue could get you know what. Okay, they you know,

352
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,120

Speaker 4: their little bit. But you know, these are the kids

354
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 4: they didn't know, and you do something cool with them,

Speaker 4: like hey, instead of hitting you, super Brus are known

00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 4: all this smack, dude, what better not have been?

363
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 3: Racist? Robgi?

00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 4: Lose your honorary status? All right, robb Gi, maybe come in.

365
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 4: I'm just saying to get again.

Speaker 3: Fox Sports Radio a couple.

367
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 4: Martin Wis's in for Rob on the trash talking Tuesday

368
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 4: about twenty minutes away. In a five minutes or so,

369
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 4: we're gonna talk to Eddie House, who do I don't.

370
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 3: Know, marn he don't. I don't know if he's like

371
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 3: that often? Why you gotta do me like that?

372
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 4: No, he was just talking smack, how they gonna go

373
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 4: back to the finals, and then they don't, and now

374
00:15:58,040 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 4: he's missing all of some of his players all leave.

375
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 3: So we'll talk to him in a little bit.

376
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 4: Speaking of Celtics, Brian Scalabriny, former Celtic, had some thoughts.

377
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 4: We were talking about Lebron and Cooper Flag, what Lebron

378
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 4: had to say about being the number one pick, and

379
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 4: Brian Scalabrini has some thoughts about Cooper flag as well.

380
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 8: Lebron James, He's just not an F one racer. Lebron

381
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 8: is two sixty fast four four forty a head above

382
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 8: the rim. Cooper flag is not a bad athlete. He's

383
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 8: a good ad. He's a great athlete. Lebron's a super athlete.

384
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 8: But they processed the same. I know it's unfair, but

385
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 8: I'll eventually be right. People will know, like three years

386
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 8: from now, they'll be like, oh, yeah, scal said it.

387
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 8: If he has the same longevity. I'm just giving a

388
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 8: comparison of what he could be, but not. You can't

389
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 8: look at fifty thousand points and championships and any of

390
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 8: that stuff. There's some variable to that. But they Lebron

391
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 8: has scored fifty thousand points, doesn't have a go two shot.

392
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 8: I'm not sure he has a go two shot. It's

393
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 8: just a basketball player that makes things happen. Lebron's a

394
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 8: freak of nature. Defensively, he's a freak of nature.

395
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 2: Defensively.

396
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 8: Lebron can run point he can run point six to

397
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 8: eight pointint cards, six to eight point card like. He

398
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,399
Speaker 8: trends like that more than a shooting guard or a

399
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 8: Kawhi Leonard or anything like that. And it's just he

400
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:09,919
Speaker 8: doesn't want to say it, but that's what it's gonna be.

401
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 3: You want to go first, you want me to go first.

402
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 4: Well, actually I'm gonna tell you This is why I

403
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:16,159
Speaker 4: want you to go first, because I want you to

404
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:20,920
Speaker 4: play interpreter because what I'm hearing wasn't making any sense

405
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:26,640
Speaker 4: to me. Because if he's comparing him to Lebron, Lebron's

406
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 4: savvy and feel for the game to me is and

407
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go right back to you, what separates it.

408
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 4: There's always been people can jumpe, people can jump higher

409
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 4: Lebron believe or not. Right, there's people who can, you know,

410
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 4: jump six for the eight. They're bigger or strong. I mean,

411
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,879
Speaker 4: look at Ion strong fast, Charles Barkley. That's not what

412
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:43,879
Speaker 4: made Lebron to Bron to me. What they made Lebron

413
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,479
Speaker 4: to me is his feel for the game. Since we

414
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 4: were watching him in high school on ESPN, I'm like, oh,

415
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 4: I remember the past. They always show from the top

416
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 4: of the key when he throws a little Noler pass.

417
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,199
Speaker 4: That was the play for me. Mark, Oh he's different.

418
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 4: It's not as dunk. I've seen people dunk my entire life.

419
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 4: It was, Oh, he feels the game. He gets the game,

420
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,399
Speaker 4: and that is what I can't teach people. Larry Bird

421
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 4: had to what feel for the game, not just a

422
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,440
Speaker 4: shooter dins knowing when to do stuff touch So that

423
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 4: that to me is when anytime somebody say he's the

424
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:13,680
Speaker 4: next to Bron, go do That's why lucas the first

425
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 4: person I went, oh, because he the feel was a

426
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 4: little different.

427
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 5: So here's the thing I hear you on the field

428
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 5: thing and that way that that to me is what

429
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:29,919
Speaker 5: gave Lebron. That and his ability to improve his parts

430
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 5: of his game every summer gave him the law and

431
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 5: stay healthy obviously gave the longevity to be able to

432
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 5: do what he Because a lot of guys, to your point,

433
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,680
Speaker 5: like Jerald Green at his height probably could out jump

434
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 5: Lebron James and I know that if you're.

435
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:43,119
Speaker 3: Ill, tell you what if you're thirty five, that's all

436
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 3: you know about.

437
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 4: Joe Green can jump out to the gym, blowing out the

438
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 4: cupcake on the red know like that's like, but that's

439
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 4: about it.

440
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:48,679
Speaker 3: Anyway.

441
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 5: The thing that I don't understand about Skal Labrini's assessment

442
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 5: here is that, Okay, so he says he processes as fast.

443
00:18:58,040 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 3: As Lebron does.

444
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 5: All right, I'm not about to sit here and say whatever,

445
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 5: but to just wash away Lebron. It was a great athlete.

446
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 5: Cooper is a good athlete completely ignores what made Lebron

447
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 5: Day one elite in the NBA. And I think about

448
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 5: this more frequently, honestly with NFL draft prospects, and it's

449
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 5: one of the reasons why I thought that Shador Sanders

450
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 5: had a chance to fall out of the first round

451
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:38,439
Speaker 5: prior to the draft, because now, obviously we know what happened,

452
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,400
Speaker 5: but try to remember all back then, when all these

453
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 5: insiders that we trusted every single breaking word, none of

454
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 5: them had them going past Day two, right, So that's

455
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,640
Speaker 5: the operation that I was, the foundation we were operating

456
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 5: off of. And my thought was, you know, well, I'll

457
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 5: look at like Jalen Milroe, for example. I know he's

458
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 5: got speed right now that is elite. If he can't,

459
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 5: if it looks like he's throwing a with the wrong hand,

460
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 5: he I know I put him on the field, he's

461
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 5: gonna be one of the fastest players on the field.

462
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 3: Right.

463
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 5: So you look at players that have because I don't

464
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 5: expect any prospect to be fully total. No one is

465
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 5: the finished product as a prospect. But what do you

466
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,959
Speaker 5: do right now that you can walk into the league

467
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 5: and do at an elite level? At Ace Bailey for

468
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 5: all of his wards and all of his trouble. If

469
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:29,719
Speaker 5: you look at his highlight tape, he scores from anywhere

470
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:30,879
Speaker 5: on three dribbles.

471
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 3: That is a true, bona fide scorer.

472
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:35,439
Speaker 5: I don't know if the rest will work out, but

473
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:37,919
Speaker 5: he can walk into the league and I think in

474
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:41,159
Speaker 5: day one and score seventeen points a game. And I

475
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 5: think that's what everybody around him is also saying, and

476
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:44,879
Speaker 5: that's why we're in this situation he's in.

477
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:50,400
Speaker 3: I don't know what Cooper flags elite.

478
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:54,920
Speaker 5: Skill is besides those kind of nebulous being good at

479
00:20:54,920 --> 00:21:01,120
Speaker 5: everything winning and tangible, and that causes me cause for concern,

480
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 5: which is part of the reason why, like I talked

481
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 5: about the last segment, I love the fact he's going

482
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 5: to a place with Kyrie's going to a even though kyrie' shart,

483
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 5: but the Kyrie's presence, the Anthony Davis like a team

484
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 5: like guys who the exact guys who have been there,

485
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:18,920
Speaker 5: guys who have done that guy.

486
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 3: Because he will be a focus, will be the.

487
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 5: Center of the promo, but he won't necessarily be always

488
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:26,639
Speaker 5: the center of the game plan.

489
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:28,399
Speaker 4: And I think that's gonna be major for him in

490
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 4: his development. Right before we get to what's trendy with Steve.

491
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 4: I'll just say I think his I think his talent,

492
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,359
Speaker 4: that he's a leade at and it's cliche and his

493
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 4: corny and his coach talk, but I think it's factual because,

494
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:40,239
Speaker 4: believe it or not, I think there are people who

495
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 4: are extremely talented who don't do this. He plays hard

496
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:47,159
Speaker 4: as heck. And when you play that hard and you

497
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:50,920
Speaker 4: are that build in, that athletic and you're eighteen, to me,

498
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 4: that's scary because everything else is gonna come, you know.

499
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 4: I mean guys in the NBA didn't have the best

500
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 4: jump shot. Now the splash threes all the time. We

501
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:00,680
Speaker 4: just know he knocks down the shot. When I see

502
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,879
Speaker 4: him play, he wants to put your shot through the backboard.

503
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 4: He's trying to block that shot so hard. When I

504
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:07,679
Speaker 4: see him on a fast break, I'm like, there's no

505
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:09,640
Speaker 4: way he's about to get past. Okay, he did get

506
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 4: past everybody. He's not gonna jump from there. Oh myn

507
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 4: he jumped from there. He plays so hard to me

508
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 4: and wants to win. If I see that with your

509
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 4: natural god giving ability and talents that I know are

510
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 4: gonna get better because I know so many guys who

511
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 4: just have so much talent give, but I don't know

512
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 4: they want to want to be great, and I don't

513
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:29,159
Speaker 4: know how hard they're going to work. And to me,

514
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 4: when I see that he has that at an elite level.

515
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 4: We saw him when he played against the pros in

516
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 4: the summer with the USA team. Everything he's played at,

517
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 4: he's played harder than everybody, and he showed up and like, oh,

518
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 4: that's why they'm been singing this kid's praises. So to me,

519
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:43,400
Speaker 4: that would be I get your points not to jump

520
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 4: rain the wet is. He's athletic, but we've seen that

521
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 4: athleticism before. To me, it is that he wants to

522
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:52,400
Speaker 4: win and be great and he plays hard as heck,

523
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 4: and that let me me go, Okay, I see what's

524
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:55,919
Speaker 4: coming down the line.

525
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,600

Speaker 4: You didn't bring his name up, and but let me

531

Speaker 4: tell you there's a life lesson in all of this. Steve,

Speaker 4: just keep living just keep going, even if you make

533

Speaker 4: mistakes and mid wrongdoings, and just keep going. I mean it, sincerely,

534
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 4: Mike Tyson. We were ready to just cast him off.

535
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 4: He's eating out each your kids. I'll do all this,

536
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 4: and Mike Tyson all of a sudden is so beloved.

537
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 4: Everybody's rooting for him. They love him. He comes back.

538
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,679
Speaker 4: He's in the Hangover movies. To your point, he's been

539
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 4: open and honest about some of his dealings.

540
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 3: You get the second act for Michael Vick. Michael Vick,

541
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 3: I mean, there's no gray.

542
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 4: I always tell you there's no greater example of contrition

543
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 4: and making, you know, kind of right in the wrongs.

544
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 3: But I tell people because.

545
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 4: Alex Rodriguez is on seventeen baseball shows sure owning sports

546
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:56,399
Speaker 4: teams front. I mean they captain in Welcome to the

547
00:23:56,440 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 4: NBA and an AGC Anthony Edwards and right behind Alex Rodriguez,

548
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,399
Speaker 4: and I'm like, this dude is the guy he's on

549
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 4: Shark Tank. I'm like, man, just stay in the game,

550
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:10,959
Speaker 4: show contrition, try to move on, and you stay active

551
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 4: long enough you can bounce right back.

552
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:16,159
Speaker 9: He's now the governor of the WNBA team in Minnesota.

553
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 9: The team that's twelve and one right now.

554
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 4: And if I'd have told you that twelve years ago,

555
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:22,639
Speaker 4: neither you get out of here. Not that you'd have

556
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 4: thought his life was over, but you thought he would

557
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 4: kind of want to hide and be.

558
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 9: In Suwart's basketball. I mean, he tried to get the Mets,

559
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,959
Speaker 9: their partnership, tried to and then what do you know,

560
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:34,200
Speaker 9: the guy who's now in his eighties finally sells Minnesota.

561
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 3: They're in. They're the guys there.

562
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:36,920
Speaker 4: You guys, and he's, like I said, it's just he's

563
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 4: all calling. He's not calling games, but you know, giving

564
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 4: us some analysis on games. It's just been amazing. See,

565
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:45,120
Speaker 4: all right, thank you, Steve, appreciate it. As always, it's

566
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:48,119
Speaker 4: the odd couple on a trash talking Tuesday, Martin Weiss

567
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,680
Speaker 4: in for Rob of course, Calvin Washington. And then we

568
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 4: got trash talking Tuesday coming up in about ten minutes

569
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,119
Speaker 4: or so, did you want to put a one on

570
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:58,160
Speaker 4: Congress conversation? We were just savving because you said, I knew,

571
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 4: you know, it's funny to off Steve was doing his thing.

572
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 4: I knew you were gonna say. TJ McConnell. TJ McConnell

573
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 4: has become the epitome of work hard guy. Well, because

574
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 4: here's like the hard work.

575
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:10,399
Speaker 5: I'm gonna give it my all guy, And I and

576
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,120
Speaker 5: I'm not just now, I am not disparaging TJ McConnell.

577
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 5: But I heard Christopher Broussard, friend of the show here,

578
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 5: say on First Things First that and he was he

579
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 5: was referencing a tweet that somebody else sent out. But

580
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:23,879
Speaker 5: you know what, I wouldn't have seen it if he

581
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:25,920
Speaker 5: ain't saying on national TV, So I put it on it.

582
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 3: What do you say?

583
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 5: It was a It was essentially like extending like if

584
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,679
Speaker 5: the if TJ McConnell was in New York, could you

585
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,719
Speaker 5: do what Jaylen Brunson is doing type of type of energy?

586
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 3: And what was Christmas response?

587
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 5: He said it was ridiculous, Which is part of the

588
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:46,120
Speaker 5: bigger problem that we have here in today's media landscape

589
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 5: is if it's something's ridiculous, you can leave it over there.

590
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:49,920
Speaker 3: We don't have to discuss it.

591
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:53,119
Speaker 4: But anyway, Buddy then took that moment blew it up

592
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:54,720
Speaker 4: on his night and he got a whole wall in

593
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 4: his house. Yeah, this is when Chris Bussard was talking

594
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:57,879
Speaker 4: to me on the show. This tweet here, I took it.

595
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:01,159
Speaker 4: I took it, blew up. I'll never forget this tweet

596
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 4: that went viral.

597
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 5: But the thing that makes and I had this is

598
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 5: if it sounds like a criticism, it is absolutely not.

599
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 5: I've been a fan of t J McConnell for years.

600
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 5: That guy was a process sixer. So that just shows

601
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 5: you how long he's been at it. Seriously, right, he

602
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 5: was right and better right now than Joel Embiid anyway.

603
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 5: But one the thing that makes gives him the ability

604
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 5: to play the way he does is the fact he

605
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 5: plays the role he does. And I commend that because

606
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 5: I think that is commendable in any any situation where

607
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 5: play your role to the highest level possible that you can.

608
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,400
Speaker 5: And he does, and that's something that we should clap

609
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:44,439
Speaker 5: about and be happy for, for sure. But when we

610
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 5: do things like say, well can t J McConnell be

611
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 5: the Finals MVP, it's like, well, now we are. We've

612
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 5: lost the plot of everything that's going on now, and

613
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 5: now I feel like.

614
00:26:54,840 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 3: I believe body. Yeah. And so to me, I said TJ. A.

615
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:02,920
Speaker 5: Vicconnell, I would not have set him on the air

616
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 5: to not do this whole three minute dietribe. What I

617
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:08,640
Speaker 5: would have said is this, I think the number one thing.

618
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:12,120
Speaker 5: Like you said, Tibbs had an identity with the Knicks,

619
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 5: and I think that when your identity is play really hard,

620
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:23,679
Speaker 5: that can be negligated negated Rather when everybody else is

621
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 5: also playing really hard, and when you get to the playoffs,

622
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:28,920
Speaker 5: everybody else is playing really hard. When you get to

623
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 5: the Eastern Conference finals, everybody else is playing like every

624
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:34,359
Speaker 5: possession could be their last.

625
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 3: If Tyree's Halliburton had.

626
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 5: A calfs trained in January, he wouldn't have played again

627
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 5: until March. It happened game five of the NBA Finals,

628
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:44,399
Speaker 5: and that's why he's gonna miss an entire year, because

629
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 5: there's more at stake when it gets to the postseason.

630
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 5: So when I hear the concept of and it's different

631
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:53,120
Speaker 5: in the NFL than it is in the NBA because

632
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 5: the NBA, there's legitimate we're taking this day off.

633
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 3: We're scheduling a loss.

634
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:02,200
Speaker 5: Okay, So not every playing hard is a trait, for sure,

635
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:05,959
Speaker 5: but when that is your number one trait, it seems

636
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 5: to be the easiest one to take away because all

637
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:10,639
Speaker 5: I have to do is also play hard.

638
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:12,440
Speaker 3: Here I'm on the other side, great stuff.

639
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:14,919
Speaker 4: But here's where I disagree, and I'm gonna go to

640
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 4: an extreme example, so bear with me. What Kobe Bryant

641
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 4: was incredibly talented, duh.

642
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:23,439
Speaker 3: We knew that.

643
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 4: But one of his greatest attributes was he was just

644
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 4: gonna outwork you. And he said it himself, Dude, I

645
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 4: think Tracy McGrady was just more naturally talented. Me Like

646
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 4: Tracy McGrady, he said it like I just bigger, he's stronger,

647
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:35,159
Speaker 4: he's faster.

648
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 3: He was just he just had it like that.

649
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 4: I use that as an example because Kobe Bryant's athleticism

650
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 4: was good, but it wasn't you know, the guys. He

651
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 4: wasn't Jordan with it. He wasn't a bunch of a

652
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 4: handful of the guys who'd be more athletic. Wasn't the fastest,

653
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 4: couldn't jump the highest, you know, and so on and

654
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 4: so forth. But he continued to just outwork you and

655
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 4: obviously and work on his craft and his skill. And

656
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 4: I'm not saying Cooper Flag is Kobe. What I mean is,

657
00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 4: you're right about negating it. If I work hard and

658
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 4: you're working, this should be even. But I'm also much

659
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 4: more uh in his case, I mean, he's gonna be

660
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 4: naturally taller than a lot of guys. He's with six

661
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 4: legit six he's just a six eighty six nine six

662
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 4: six nine, So he's gonna be naturally taller than a

663
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 4: lot of wings. He jumps way higher than a lot

664
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 4: of wings. Right, he blocks shots more than a lot

665
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 4: of wings. Eventually, if you're him, hopefully the mid range

666
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 4: is gonna be better. So to me, Kawhi Leonard, if

667
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 4: you saw him coming out of San Diego State, you'd

668
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 4: be like, all right, I see it. He's and he's cool.

669
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 4: He's you know, he's a good player. I expect him

670
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:30,959
Speaker 4: to be a role player this league. He kept working,

671
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 4: he kept working, he kept working, playing hard, caring on defense,

672
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 4: carrying here, which gets you more time on the playing

673
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 4: on the court, which then you get more time you

674
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 4: can only get better. And then I just see the

675
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 4: guys who have that natural ability, but who want to

676
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 4: be great and who want to play defense, who want

677
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 4: to just continue to learn. You mentioned something about Lebron

678
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 4: take that summer off. Magic Johnson always talked about this

679
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 4: every summer, go back to the lab. Kobe talked about

680
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 4: that go to the summer come back with the lab.

681
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 4: To me, that's why I see Cooper being you know,

682
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 4: a cut above, because he's already naturally gets I remember

683
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 4: you remember seeing about this kid three four years ago.

684
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 3: Let me see what he's doing. But toe he up there?

685
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 3: And now what is it? Vermont Main? It was Main

686
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 3: Main playing. He ain't playing. He would go to other places.

687
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 4: Oh all right, all right, well you you already six eight,

688
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 4: six nine, so that ain't fair you okay, then go

689
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 4: see you play some other six with it?

690
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:17,959
Speaker 3: And he giving him the business.

691
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 4: All right, well you ain't never played against the USA men'

692
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 4: Oh he holding his own playing. Well, I will see

693
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 4: what he does when he get to college. Most of

694
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 4: the games, was the best player on the court. So

695
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 4: to me, I see all that from an eighteen year old,

696
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 4: and who wants to be better, who wants to work hard.

697
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 4: I'm just like, all right, to me, I at least

698
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 4: feel like I know your floor.

699
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 5: I would say this mentality, have no no questions about

700
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 5: like say like they talking about eight, like they were

701
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 5: talking about Ace Bailey going into this season, it was

702
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 5: Ace Bailey Cooper Flag who was going to be it

703
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 5: for without being an expert In B chapter in verse

704
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 5: read in on the Aatest Bailey situation and his own

705
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 5: his agent onmore Cooper is so it seems like it's

706
00:30:58,440 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 5: a lot of weird.

707
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 3: So it is there interviews and this, that and the

708
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:02,239
Speaker 3: other end.

709
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:03,719
Speaker 5: I think we'll have a lot a lot of that

710
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,480
Speaker 5: reporting will get figured out after this thing is over,

711
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 5: and we'll then we'll be able to really drill down

712
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,959
Speaker 5: on what's happening here and a lot maybe it won't matter, right,

713
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 5: maybe maybe he will be the second over pick.

714
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 3: Oh maybe they pick him first, right, But like.

715
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 5: When that he's had a lot of now questions about

716
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 5: his treatment of the draft process, all that, and all

717
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 5: of which I think are fair, and then depending on

718
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 5: what his answers are, whether they continue to be questions.

719
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 3: I saw today he just.

720
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 5: Continually repeated I'm here to focus on basketball, which not

721
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 5: a step in the right direction to where I'm headed

722
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 5: in terms of this.

723
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 3: But that's kind of the thing that I'm seeing with

724
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 3: the Cooper flag thing.

725
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 5: It just if he shot forty percent from three right now,

726
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 5: it feel a lot better. Like and it's but again,

727
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 5: going to a situation in Dallas with the coach Jason

728
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:56,920
Speaker 5: Kidd and that star power around him gives it.

729
00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 3: It reminds me of a you know, let me not

730
00:31:59,440 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 3: even go there.

731
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 5: But if if he had gotten to it, if you're

732
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 5: going drafted to another team where you know he's gonna

733
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 5: have to be the man like Charlotte or wherever, I

734
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 5: would doubt that that would it would make me worry

735
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 5: that much more.

736
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 4: And it happens all the time. These young guys. Man,

737
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:13,959
Speaker 4: I feel like they just get washed away. We kind

738
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 4: of forget about them a little bit. Wh what Oh yeah, yeah,

739
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 4: I forgot about him. And it happens because they're coming

819
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 13: Rob Parker for his love affair with Lamar Jackson. He

820
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:01,879
Speaker 13: came on this shoe the day after the Super Bowl

821
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:06,799
Speaker 13: and make every apology for Lamar Jackson's first half all

822
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 13: he made, he put him in a position to win

823
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:11,799
Speaker 13: in the second half. No, no, Lamar Jackson is not

824
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:15,720
Speaker 13: a winner. He's no better Dak Prescott or Jared Goff.

825

Speaker 13: He hasn't won nothing, he hasn't done anything, and Old

00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 14: I am trashing the NFL and that other caller about

862
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:50,840
Speaker 14: Lamar Jackson. What I'm telling you what I just found

863
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:54,720
Speaker 14: out from probably Taurus about the NFL colluding on Lamar

864
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 14: Jackings contract is a no brainer. There's a no brainer

865
00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 14: that they colluded just after Watson, you know, messed up.

866
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:03,680
Speaker 14: The whole league. Was that fully guaranteed, But you can't

867
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 14: tell me Lamar Jackson didn't deserve that entire fully guaranteed contract.

868
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:10,839
Speaker 14: But the way he lays out his body for the team,

869
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:12,759
Speaker 14: with the way that he leaves his team to the

870
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:16,120
Speaker 14: playoffs every year, every time he's healthy, he is undefeated

871
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:19,400
Speaker 14: against Bengals against how many years ago. I'm just trashing

872
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:22,319
Speaker 14: the NFL, and I hope the Boosters come to call

873
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 14: when they are in court and they have to pay that.

874
