Speaker 1: Speaking of championship rosters, who you like in the West
Speaker 1: and the East right now, because you're.
Speaker 2: Always the East.
Speaker 3: I still like Boston, but I think New York, healthy
Speaker 3: and right could be a formidable opponent. I always always
Speaker 3: have Miami's. Honestly, I think Cleveland's more regular season I
Speaker 3: always had Miami as a dark horse grew. There's a
Speaker 3: lot going on right now, so I'm I'm gonna just
Speaker 3: keep them to the side for a minute. But I
Speaker 3: think I think New York's the biggest threat to Boston.
Speaker 3: The way they shoot it, in their spacing, and they've mastered,
Speaker 3: and I've watched them close. Now they've mastered. They're not
Speaker 3: caught up in egos caps like, Okay, I'll be the
Speaker 3: man to knight brunching, you be the man. They don't care,
Speaker 3: and their team is built like that, and you know
Speaker 3: how it is most of the time it's egos. Right now,
Speaker 3: I'm the top dog, and it's got to be like that.
Speaker 3: Every night They'll float between Batman and Superman. They don't care.
Speaker 3: Tonight you get forty, Tomorrow, I'll get for you, and
Speaker 3: let's just keep rolling. They got players around them, and
Speaker 3: they're still missing Mitchell Robinson who's.
Speaker 2: A rim protector. So I like I like them right
Speaker 2: as a as a as a threat to Boston if
Speaker 2: there is one in the West.
Speaker 3: I'm messed up, like gonna lie to you because I
Speaker 3: thought when Phoenix was healthy before k got hurt the
Speaker 3: first time, like, oh, they may break through. I thought
Speaker 3: the Olympics put him and Booker back on the same page.
Speaker 3: I thought they was gonna be playing, you know, and
Speaker 3: then injuries happened. So the West, I need y'all's help
Speaker 3: on the West. I don't know shit. I'm going okay,
Speaker 3: see you know what, And I might ride with you.
Speaker 2: You do, I might ride with you on that.
Speaker 4: I'm just telling you.
Speaker 1: I like I like a dog pound down here in mess.
Speaker 2: Yeah you do this.
Speaker 4: Let me tell you something.
Speaker 5: I might ride with Okay, see though, why d why
Speaker 5: Because I'm a big fucking Hartenstein fan.
Speaker 4: That motherfucker he is.
Speaker 5: I'm telling you that mother that motherfucker makes check his stats.
Speaker 4: You ain't got to run now and play for him.
Speaker 5: And at the end of the game, the motherfuckerer have
Speaker 5: sixteen points, fourteen rebounds, two three blocks, six assists and
Speaker 5: he only played like twenty five thirty minutes and this
Speaker 5: is what check out, This is what check out. You
Speaker 5: know what I'm saying. And they haven't missed a fucking beat.
Speaker 5: They'll still have the number one record in the West.
Speaker 5: That motherfucker, I'm telling you when you watch what the
Speaker 5: Knicks are missing. Yeah, Mitchell Robinson is going to help
Speaker 5: their rimp protection. But in the playoffs, they're gonna miss Hartenstein.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah they will.
Speaker 4: They miss he tough, toughness, he got all that ship.
Speaker 2: I think.
Speaker 3: I think, okay, see brought like a college style of
Speaker 3: togetherness to the pros, like how they built the team,
Speaker 3: how they playing. They got a real dog leading them,
Speaker 3: like sja is for real, for real, real dog talking
Speaker 3: about dogs like Edwards and he's like, nah, he didn't.
Speaker 3: When people like that say ship like that about you,
Speaker 3: you already know what time it is. So I think,
Speaker 3: and they're young enough and they and they almost oblivious
Speaker 3: enough where the moment's not too big.
Speaker 2: Whatever it is, what it.
Speaker 5: Is, I called it, go ahead, killer, go ahead killer.
Speaker 1: No, I think the big listen, that's ja is we
Speaker 1: We ain't got to talk about that a dog. The
Speaker 1: question is is and I think Jaylen Williams is freaking
Speaker 1: the man, I think he's really good. Is he gonna
Speaker 1: be that second fiddle throughout the whole playoffs?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I know he's really good. I know he's really good man, But.
Speaker 1: He hasn't been He had a little experience last year
Speaker 1: like the heart we've talked about.
Speaker 2: All the time.
Speaker 1: Bro Sga is gonna win you a couple of games
Speaker 1: in East playoff series.
Speaker 2: That's how good he is.
Speaker 1: The other guy is gonna have to do that same
Speaker 1: fucking thing, and the and the role players win one
Speaker 1: game and they gotta have enough their depth, Their depth
Speaker 1: is elite. They're really really good defensively with Carusso and
Speaker 1: lou Like they're fucking defensively and when check comes back defensively,
Speaker 1: they're gonna be eleap.
Speaker 2: But there's there's.
Speaker 1: Something there, man, I'm telling you it's gonna be again.
Speaker 2: They're probably the favorites.
Speaker 3: I would say, might let me let me add one
Speaker 3: more thing to that. You and I covered the playoffs
Speaker 3: last year. We had a bunch of different teams. They
Speaker 3: have another star there too, and his name is Mark Dagnall.
Speaker 3: He was as impressive as any he he was so
Speaker 3: impressive and I think the way he manages a game
Speaker 3: the way he manipulates the game as well. He's seeing
Speaker 3: stuff out there in a whole different spectrum, almost like
Speaker 3: he got somepo with him, you.
Speaker 2: Know what I mean.
Speaker 3: Like he he's he's like a star over there, So
Speaker 3: I gotta give him this props.
Speaker 5: He is impressive to any coach. We talked to you
Speaker 5: last and we talked about it. We talked about offensively,
Speaker 5: and we talked about the coaching staff. But they got
Speaker 5: two guys and Caruso and shout out the shout out
Speaker 5: my dog, the haitious sensation.
Speaker 2: They got two.
Speaker 5: Guys that can defensively lock in old motherfuckers and make
Speaker 5: your fucking series hell for seven games.
Speaker 4: Mind you, mind you? Y sgl is still over there quietly.
Speaker 5: I called the motherfucker a sense He's a sense master,
Speaker 5: quietly slicing your ass up quietly, and he ain't sweating,
Speaker 5: And he got thirty five and ten at the end
Speaker 5: of the game.
Speaker 4: They got it, Brom trying.
Speaker 2: To sell you.
Speaker 1: They got I can't hardly argue.
Speaker 2: I'm with you.
Speaker 1: I think it's just seeing that next step, Like everyone
Speaker 1: want to see that next step, and.
Speaker 5: It might be this year, and they got that brotherhood
Speaker 5: and that connection. You talked about Jamal, that brotherhood and
Speaker 5: that connection. When the series get tough and it's three three,
Speaker 5: the most connected locker room is what's gonna win Game.
Speaker 2: Seven and they're gonna have home court.
Speaker 3: We know how tough it is playing okay, see and
Speaker 3: and y'all know I had a bag.
Speaker 2: I had a bag.
Speaker 4: You had a burken Boy, You had a burke Even
Speaker 4: I looked.
Speaker 3: Like, I gotta figure amount because he he's strong, he
Speaker 3: can move, he takes that challenge.
Speaker 2: I don't believe it. I wouldn't figure it out. Some
Speaker 2: time I have figured it out. Yeah, you had especially
Speaker 2: or at least, but I got that. You got you
Speaker 2: can figure that out for sure. That's gonna be interesting.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be fun. Playoffs.
Speaker 4: I'm looking forward to it. I'm looking forward to it.
Speaker 5: Now that we're talking about playoffs and basketball, you working games,
Speaker 5: some interesting things coming for you in the future. So
Speaker 5: we're gonna be looking for that. Brother congrats. Yeah, man,
Speaker 5: it's interesting.
Speaker 2: The future for me. Yeah, I'm excited about the future.
Speaker 3: It's it's crazy because after after I stopped playing officially,
Speaker 3: I threw myself in the coaching kids, starting with the
Speaker 3: sixth graders and then from there, like I went on
Speaker 3: TV feeling for Chuck, I'm like, all right, Like I
Speaker 3: still didn't think that was my future. And then it
Speaker 3: started with studio, as y'all know, and then it's graduated
Speaker 3: to games. So I just I want to own this space.
Speaker 3: Like you said, you took it as a challenge when
Speaker 3: they were doing that with you late in your career.
Speaker 3: I'm taking this as a challenge and calling games. I
Speaker 3: feel like I can. I can kind of make my
Speaker 3: own way. And I passed some great mentors and great
Speaker 3: people to work with, Kevin Harlan and Mike Breen, He's
Speaker 3: as ghats Reggie Miller. So for me, I'm learning so
Speaker 3: much and I want to be as good as I
Speaker 3: was on the court in that space.
Speaker 2: So I'm excited about the future for sure, Dope.
Speaker 5: I mean, I had a chance to work with you, bro,
Speaker 5: and obviously you know we had a ball. You dropped
Speaker 5: some gyms on me being on that side.
Speaker 2: Man, you dropped on me too.
Speaker 3: And you know what, Mike, when it was me and him,
Speaker 3: I feel like it was nas and Jay he say something,
Speaker 3: I look okay, he got on that.
Speaker 2: He come back. We just going back and forth forth.
Speaker 2: It was on some ross.
Speaker 3: We were doing our thing. It was dope, but it
Speaker 3: kept everything light. It kept everything dope and kept everything sharp.
Speaker 5: That's my guy, And you made me comfortable, brou I
Speaker 5: would have telled you that because being on a set
Speaker 5: with another player as opposed to, like you said, guys
Speaker 5: like you know, Tom Ring, just all these guys that
Speaker 5: didn't play but in a great respect for what they
Speaker 5: do as an analysis and annas. But sitting next to
Speaker 5: another player, you know what I'm saying, somebody that speaks
Speaker 5: the same language as you.
Speaker 4: It just made me more comfortable.
Speaker 2: Bro.
Speaker 4: So ship, I'm looking forward to seeing you on that
Speaker 4: next on that next level, and you and you.
Speaker 2: Are a rising star as we all know.
Speaker 3: Like you do you, I love and you d When
Speaker 3: ug is coming on any platform, I'm watching because I
Speaker 3: know he's gonna drop something.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be something that connects everybody.
Speaker 3: But it's also a connect culture and I love that
Speaker 3: because it's somebody that's representing all of us up there
Speaker 3: and he's making sense, he's speaking the truth, and he
Speaker 3: did it at the highest level.
Speaker 2: So we always loving you on it.
Speaker 4: We got to appreciate it.
Speaker 2: Everybody.
Speaker 4: Everybody can't be an agent like you, Mike, we gotta
Speaker 4: go out here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, we can't do that, Mike.
Speaker 4: We got we gotta go out here and work five ship.
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, Mike, Mike, What's what's been
Speaker 3: the biggest surprise with doing it being a former player?
Speaker 2: Like, what's surprised you the most?
Speaker 1: I think just understanding the process of what goes into
Speaker 1: like teams making their decisions, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Like as a player, as a player, you were you
Speaker 1: you looked at the front office completely different as you
Speaker 1: do as an agent as a player looks like, oh
Speaker 1: that I know exactly what's going on.
Speaker 2: And what you realize is that you.
Speaker 1: Know, stuff's last minute for them too, and they're not
Speaker 1: planning a lot of things and they got to work
Speaker 1: and react and they see the game obviously a little
Speaker 1: bit different than players do. So that's been a little
Speaker 1: bit of a challenge. Is like sometimes you wonder if
Speaker 1: you're watching the same game you're watching.
Speaker 5: But rights asalytics, they use the analytics for everything. I
Speaker 5: was like, man, that basketball Manly, they're.
Speaker 1: Definitely they're definitely in the analytics a lot, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. And so like I'm in the we're
Speaker 1: in the old school part, like to me analytics to
Speaker 1: confirm with our I see some of them kind of
Speaker 1: flipped around like they solely based on analytics, which again
Speaker 1: there's no right or wrong answer, but that's been a challenge.
Speaker 1: And then just understanding like like young kids coming through it,
Speaker 1: like the awareness of them still we talked about it,
Speaker 1: right is I think they need people like us in
Speaker 1: their corner. I think they really really need it. That
Speaker 1: you said earlier. We have the cheat code, we've seen it.
Speaker 1: We're not gonna be one hundred percent right, but we
Speaker 1: can almost tell you exactly how it's gonna play out
Speaker 1: if you if you live by this code for sure.
Speaker 1: And that's that's that's really where I've you know, I
Speaker 1: think I've drived this business. It's like just being real
Speaker 1: with these dudes, right, like, don't tell me what they
Speaker 1: don't want to hear, tell what they need to here.
Speaker 2: So it's been fun. Thanks for YO. What time is it?
