Speaker 1: A little bit later on this podcast, we're hitting the

12
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 1: beach to answer some of your NBA questions that you

13
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 1: guys sent in through email, through YouTube, through Twitter, through

14
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: Blue Sky, maybe through Instagram.

15
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

16
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 3: I don't know if we have any technical from Instagram

17
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 3: questions right now, but they happen, and they do.

18
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: You know, they're the toughest to like, sort of grab,

19
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: you know what I mean.

20
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 2: It's hard to copy and paste.

21
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, some more frustrating, but thank you to everyone

22
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: that has so we'll get to those later, but first

23
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 1: we start with NBA Commissioner Adam Silver saying Tuesday that

24
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 1: he remained hopeful the investigation into Kawhi, Leonard and the

25
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: Clippers for alleged salary cap circumvention would conclude this summer.

26
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: This is what he said, Okay, he added a bunch

27
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 1: of other things. He added that the league was not

28
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: responsible for holding up the trade to the Raptors. He

29
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 1: said that was actually on the Raptors and the Clippers

30
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 1: for doing that.

31
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 2: That wasn't us.

32
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 1: In related news, the Athletics Mike Vorkanoff reported yesterday that

33
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: the Kawhi investigation has grown in scope to include other

34
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: improper expenses provided by the Clippers to Kauai, as well

35
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 1: as a possible second, unreported endorsement deal with a different company.

36
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: So that's a bit of a notable update here, maybe

37
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: provide some context context to why the investigation is taking

38
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: longer than it is. Maybe not at all, but TK

39
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: this summer is now sober. Maybe he hopes to have

40
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 1: it wrapped up. This summer goes till September. That's the question.

41
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 2: When do you consider summer over? Is it when the

42
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 2: kids go back to school? Is it September twenty second,

43
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,959
Speaker 2: which is the first day of autumn this year in

44
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 2: twenty twenty six, or is it just before teams have

45
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 2: to report to training camps?

46
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 3: And like the beginning of October, who knows. Doesn't feel

47
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 3: like we're getting an answer quickly. Adam Silver seems like

48
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 3: he doesn't have any idea when this thing is gonna

49
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 3: end up. Apparently they've talked to Balmer a couple of times.

50
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 3: They've talked to Khi, They've talked to Uncle Dennis. Now

51
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 3: they're looking into Kawhi's concur spreadsheets to see if his

52
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 3: expenses were reimbursed back and forth. Might be another one

53
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 3: thrown in there. All this means to me is a

54
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,959
Speaker 3: lot of smoke, Tons and tons of smoke. No smoking gun.

55
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 3: They still got nothing right now. If there was something

56
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 3: that stuck out that the NBA could easily punish the

57
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 3: Clippers or Kauhi with, it would be done.

58
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 2: But clearly it isn't.

59
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, so Silver said quote, I would say that this

60
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,799
Speaker 1: can be wrapped up and needs to be wrapped up.

61
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,519
Speaker 2: I would agree before next season.

62
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, I guess that is now where we've put

63
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: the deadline. It has to be set up this summer

64
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: and also before next season.

65
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 2: Yeah. No, shit.

66
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: Uh, there's a lot of collateral damage here from this

67
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: ongoing investigation. We've already talked about this a little bit before.

68
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: Of course, the Raptors, of course the Clippers. Yes, Kawhi himself,

69
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: brandon Ingram, Grady Dick. They were traded to LA for

70
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: Kawhi Leonard or you know, hasn't been officially called in,

71
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: but that's a proposed trade. None of this helps, I

72
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: would say, Benedict Mathrin, who is a restricted free agent,

73
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: I would say none of this helped Peyton Watson, who

74
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: in theory would need the Clippers as a restricted free

75
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: agent option on the market. You know, potential sign and

76
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 1: trade doesn't help r J. Barrett with the Raptors. He's

77
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: waiting for a contract extension. Like the waiting game here,

78
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: it does have an effect not just on Kawhi, but

79
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 1: a bunch of other players and maybe even the rest

80
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: of the league. So there's not much more else to

81
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 1: say at this point. We've been frustrated they've botched this.

82
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: The whole thing is a mess. And I'm with you though,

83
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: like this idea of just like continuing to prolong this

84
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,919
Speaker 1: means like what is really there? I guess again, this

85
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 1: vorkinoff reporting saying there is a little bit more now

86
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: is like, oh, okay, does does that now increase the

87
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: chances that Kawhi himself is penalized for you know, a fine,

88
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: missed games, void contract and all that.

89
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 2: Don't know.

90
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 3: Obviously that's still a possibility, which is why the Raptors

91
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 3: pushed pause on the trade. I think Adam Silver was

92
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 3: basically saying this one was on Toronto, shutting it down,

93
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:02,919
Speaker 3: as it should be because they would be the ones

94
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 3: most adversely affected. The Clippers were involved in it, Kawhi

95
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 3: was involved in it. The Raptors were just hanging out

96
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 3: over there back in twenty nineteen trying to get Kawhi back.

97
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 3: It didn't go their way. They traded for him seven

98
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 3: years later and they get punished. Doesn't make sense. So

99
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 3: obviously they have to hit the pause button.

100
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 2: Yeah here, but I.

101
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,840
Speaker 3: Don't think they were anticipating pressing pause. And it lasts

102
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,359
Speaker 3: for six or three months, that's crazy. If they aren't

103
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 3: able to ascertain what actually happened here and throwing more

104
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 3: and more pieces into the investigation doesn't make me think

105
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 3: it's going to end sooner.

106
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 2: No, right, Like we're like, we're.

107
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 3: Just now ten months in finding new things we might

108
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 3: need to talk about. When you read the Mike Vorkanoff report,

109
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 3: it's like even Aspiration doesn't seem like they're sure of

110
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 3: what happened. Apparently he talked to twenty different employees who

111
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 3: are able to go on the record in different ways

112
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 3: here and there, and some of them are like, maybe

113
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 3: they circumvented the cap or maybe Kawhi was just a

114
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 3: bad pitchman and we couldn't come up with any good

115
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 3: ideas for him, so we decided not to do anything

116
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 3: for him.

117
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,159
Speaker 2: That kind of makes sense to me. Is Kawhi Leonard

118
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 2: a good pitchman? No, he might be the worst pitchman

119
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 2: in the NBA, right, Yeah, So I don't know.

120
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 3: This is just very very strange, and if I'm a

121
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 3: Raptors fan, I would.

122
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 2: Be very upset.

123
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 3: Oh, but this is still taking place, Like it was

124
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 3: so cool to trade for Kawhi Leonard, get back a

125
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 3: franchise hero, a guy on Mount raps More, it increases

126
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 3: your chance of making a conference finals, making a finals,

127
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 3: And now you're not sure when he's joining the team,

128
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 3: when he's going to be able to practice with the team,

129
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:35,359
Speaker 3: and if he's going to be able to play for

130
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 3: the team.

131
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 2: This yeah, crazy yeah.

132
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 1: And this goes back to this idea of when they

133
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 1: agreed to the trade sort of at the end of

134
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,280
Speaker 1: June there the Raptors and Clippers to the principle of

135
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:47,040
Speaker 1: the trade. It's like, yeah, were the Raptors going under

136
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: the assumption that, Okay, this is wrapping up soon and

137
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: maybe there's not going to be a huge penalty on

138
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 1: Kawhi himself. Maybe it's the Clippers that get dinged, if

139
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 1: at all, and so they're going to go forward with it.

140
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: And then when they're about to sign on the dotted

141
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: line or call it into the league, the league's like, hey, hey,

142
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: hey again, I said this before. Read the fine print here,

143
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 1: Guys like buyer beware. If you make this deal and

144
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 1: then it comes down Kawhi, that's on you in terms

145
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: of his you know, penalized situation. So you know what

146
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: happened there is the thing we're getting at in the week.

147
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: Was it the Raptor is wanting to be aggressive because

148
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 1: there are reports that there was another team or two

149
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: looking at Kawhi. So were the Raptors like, well, we

150
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: really want them, let's get ahead of that, or were

151
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 1: they told misinformation or was it skirted around like I

152
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,679
Speaker 1: don't know, we don't know, we don't know. Like everybody

153
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: thinks Bobby Webster like he's a CBA, you know, sort

154
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 1: of cap NERD came up through the system, so to

155
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: speak that way. You know, he's not like willy nilly,

156
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: Like if this was I don't know, if this is

157
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: Joe Dumars and the Pelicans, people are like maybe, like, oh,

158
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 1: it makes a little more sense.

159
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 2: People don't think.

160
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 1: That with Bobby Webster and how he runs his front office,

161
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: so it feels like maybe he had one set of

162
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: information and then as I got closer to being official

163
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: wisely was like, I guess told the league something else

164
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: and he's like, well, we can't take on that risk.

165
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 2: I guess we gotta wait.

166
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 3: Apparently that's what happened, because like you're saying, Bobby Webster

167
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 3: is connected with the league starting his career there. Not

168
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 3: to mention Larry Tannenbaum at the time was the head

169
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 3: of the Board of Governors. That has changed, but at

170
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 3: the time of the trade that was literally the case,

171
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 3: so he would be aware of what sort of investigations

172
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 3: are going down.

173
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 2: So it's just what happened on that trade call.

174
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 3: Because there's been reporting that the Clippers weren't told anything

175
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 3: about what's going to happen with regards to Kawi's contract

176
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 3: in the trade. That's fine, they would trade him regardless

177
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:34,559
Speaker 3: because this is a good deal for them to get

178
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 3: back some sort of a future start to actually turn

179
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 3: the corner on this era of the Clippers. Yeah, the

180
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 3: other teams are who would be put off by it,

181
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 3: and apparently every other team was put off by it,

182
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 3: not the Raptors. And then when they finally got down

183
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 3: to it, it's like, Okay, we can't actually.

184
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 2: Do this, This would be ridiculous.

185
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 1: All parties, though, are seemingly going about business, which is

186
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 1: the funny part of this whole thing. Like Kawhi has

187
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 1: showed up Raptors twice now to things. Yes, Kyle Lowry's

188
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 1: you know, press conference for signing his one day deal

189
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 1: to retire as a Raptor. He's there in Toronto, and

190
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 1: then he's there at Summer League watching the team, sitting

191
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: there in the bright neon San Diego. Padres Hat there,

192
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: tall Hat taken in the action. And then you've got

193
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 1: Ingram and Grady Dick. I think they've been in Vegas.

194
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 1: They're around the clippers, so like they're just sort of

195
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 1: going about this like it will eventually happen, and it's

196
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 1: just so weird.

197
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 3: Man, Yes, it's very weird. Everybody is acting is that

198
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 3: the trade is going to go through. All of the

199
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:36,959
Speaker 3: statements from both teams are like, we're looking forward to

200
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 3: this yep being taken care of swiftly, and that doesn't

201
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 3: feel like it's gonna happen. I don't think swiftly is

202
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 3: a twelve month investigation. But wow, I just hope we

203
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 3: get a resolution. I hope we get a resolution in July,

204
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 3: but I would settle for August.

205
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, back to that Vorkanoff report there at the Athletic.

206
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:01,599
Speaker 1: The Athletic uncovered images of a scre apped marketing campaign

207
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 1: for Kawhi that cast him as a character similar to

208
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: Marvel's Groot. I guess they found out Kawhi liked comic books,

209
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: and we're like thinking, oh, well, maybe there's a tie

210
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 1: in there. We make Kawhi like Groot. The whole thing

211
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: about planting trees to offset carbon footprints. Maybe he's a tree.

212
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 1: He barely says anything as it is. That's sort of

213
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:27,479
Speaker 1: groot like they picked.

214
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 3: The right superhero, I do believe, right, I guess so

215
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 3: the guy who says one or three different words, uh

216
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 3: and is involved with trees, that is the perfect one.

217
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 2: But this looks insane. These are creepy images we're showing

218
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 2: on you too.

219
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 3: This is also maybe they found out that Kahi Leander

220
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 3: was a huge Pans Labyrinth fan.

221
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, here's the eyeball hands monster.

222
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was disgusting to be but uh, it makes

223
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 3: me yearn for the days of old Ai slop.

224
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:59,319
Speaker 2: That's true. I mean that's like in theory, that's twenty nineteen, right, Yeah,

225
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 2: that's all Dolly era slop to me, and who knows?

226
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 2: Kind of I kind of like it, and I kind

227
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,439
Speaker 2: of am terrified by it. Yeah, it's terrifying. JD. Do

228
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 2: you want to weigh in on this, being you.

229
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 1: Know, they of the group.

230
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 4: I don't love it, to be honest. No, it's it's

231
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 4: it's kind of ice are a night king to me

232
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 4: from Game of Throne. Oh yeah, if he was blue,

233
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 4: I would think that. Yeah, right right right, Yeah, I

234
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 4: don't love it.

235
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 2: I guess I guess he didn't love it either. I

236
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 2: liked it eventually, they're like, yeah, maybe we should just

237
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 2: move on from this. We can't crack the code on

238
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 2: what's good for Kawhi Leonard. We tried everything. We put

239
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 2: three hands on his face and it didn't work. We

240
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 2: tried everything. He won't do anything. Man, Just give him

241
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 2: his twenty eight million dollars to move on. Okay.

242
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 5: I mean he's known as the claw, like why not Wolverine? Right,

243
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 5: he's got.

244
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,200
Speaker 1: Also good Yeah, I think again they're leading into the

245
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 1: leading into the tree.

246
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 5: Yeah.

247
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,679
Speaker 1: You know that is the scam part of their company, right,

248
00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:58,599
Speaker 1: keep up that facade.

249
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 2: So yeah, well we'll leave that here hopefully.

250
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: Like okay, yeah, July August, maybe September, that's still summer

251
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 1: to some people.

252
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 2: How about my birthday get for you August twentieth.

253
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, the investigation it's Oliver Kawi Leonard officially a Toronto

254
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 3: rap very nice.

255
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, either tasks or my birthday cast a little bit

256
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: before me. Okay, Okay, that's what that's what we're hoping

257
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,959
Speaker 1: for here, all right. Pivoting to uh, the other thing

258
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: we're waiting for this summer Lebron James free agency. The

259
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 1: saga has stretched into I guess this.

260
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 2: Is like week three uh.

261
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 1: And while his decision should come soon, I think Seam

262
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 1: says he's inching closer and closer to a decision. No

263
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: one is quite sure when we'll find out what team

264
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 1: he's joining, Right, Is it the Calves? Is it the Warriors?

265
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 1: Is it the Heat? Is it seventy six Ers? Or

266
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 1: is it the Wolves? It's it's feels like it's those

267
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 1: five teams. It felt like Sham's was saying, of those five,

268
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:02,559
Speaker 1: the Calves, and I believe the Sixers were the most

269
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 1: likely if I have if I can remember correctly, and

270
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 1: maybe the Warriors and the Wolves were bumped down. Beyond

271
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,679
Speaker 1: the timing of this announcement, there's also some wonder as

272
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 1: to how Lebron is going to break the news. So,

273
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 1: with a huge shout out to our guy Robbie Callen

274
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 1: at CBS Sports, I thought'd be fun to try and

275
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 1: figure out what option Lebron will choose to break the

276
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 1: news this go around. And I've even got some odds

277
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 1: from a new sports book that popped up, Yes, Skeet's duel.

278
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 2: Hey nice, yeah, yeah nice?

279
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 1: Open my own sports book here the last couple of weeks. So,

280
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,559
Speaker 1: how will Lebron announce his free agency decision. I got

281
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:40,199
Speaker 1: some odds for you and TK I want you to

282
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 1: chime in on each hypothetical here. First one, it's the

283
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 1: favorite minus two hundred. It's pretty boring to Sham's tweet.

284
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: Just Shaums jumps on Twitter and says, Lebron James is

285
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 1: going back to Cleveland. Lebron James is going to the

286
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 1: Golden State. Lebron James is once again headed to South Beach.

287
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: You know he's tied with Rich Paul True, he is

288
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 1: our prominent newsbreaker. Yes, he's saying it's inching closer and closer.

289
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 1: Maybe that means character by character is getting closer and

290
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: closer to finishing the tweet the least exciting of my

291
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 1: options here.

292
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 2: But what do you think?

293
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 3: I think what Tapio says here in the stream team

294
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 3: is right. I could have told you that Lebron's getting

295
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 3: closer to the decision. That's how time works. Yeah, he

296
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 3: has to make a decision soon. This would be disappointing

297
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 3: if it comes out via Sham's tweet, if Lebron gets

298
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 3: scooped on his own decision by.

299
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 2: Mister Sharania.

300
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, out there you can understand why it's the favorite, though,

301
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 3: I understand I I wouldn't put any money out on

302
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 3: this though.

303
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 1: Okay, I wouldn't either. Yeah, and remember in twenty ten

304
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 1: we had the decision. Of course, in twenty fourteen it

305
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 1: was the Lee Jenkins Sports Illustrated Right article, and then

306
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 1: in twenty eighteen Lebron just went ig with it, so

307
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 1: he broke the news himself. So this would be new

308
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 1: in terms of Lebron creating, say, letting Shams just do hopefully.

309
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: I'm with you, though you know, look, we get excited

310
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 1: about any notification from Chams what we had and then

311
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 1: they get really boring. But this would be big news,

312
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 1: of course, but yeah, we don't want this.

313
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, SHAMS did report that teams have been recruiting Lebron

314
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 3: by sending voice memos to Rich Paul, which Rich Paul

315
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 3: then forwards to Lebron. Yes, Rich Paul came on and said,

316
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 3: I didn't tell Shams that, so it's not necessarily a

317
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 3: direct pipeline Lebron Rich Chams. There is right right parts

318
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 3: where it can divert there somehow apparently.

319
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, our second option for how Lebron will break

320
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 1: the news plus one fifty podcast appearance Lebron is scheduled

321
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 1: to be in New York on Thursday and Friday for

322
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: Fanatics Fest. Okay, the website says, quote, Lebron James is

323
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 1: officially returning to Fanatics Fest NYC this year for two days.

324
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 1: This is basically like it's sort of Comic Con for sports. Okay,

325
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 1: It's probably the best way to describe Fanatics Fast. It's

326
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: like there's a card show, there's all these activations stuff

327
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: like that. Anyway, on July sixteenth and seventeenth, Lebron will

328
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 1: kick off his return with a live recording of Mind

329
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 1: the Game podcast featuring special guest host Tyrese Haliburton, plus

330
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 1: additional surprise guests throughout the show, so it could be

331
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 1: his own podcast, Mind the Game. There's of course, Rich

332
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 1: Paul and Max Kellerman's Game Over podcast. People said, what

333
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 1: if he goes to Golden State he does it on

334
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 1: the Draymond Green podcast Wow or show so podcast appearance

335
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 1: because there's so many to pick from. Hell, he could

336
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 1: come on No dunks proa.

337
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 2: We no, I mean, we haven't reached out, but this

338
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 2: is our first courting of the king. Hold on, we

339
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 2: gotta call him, We gotta leave a voicemail.

340
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 3: I like that NBA teams are vying for Lebron's basketball

341
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 3: servants is and all the rest of US podcasters are

342
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 3: hoping for his voice on the mic. Yeah, this is

343
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 3: my choice. I think it will be a podcast announcement.

344
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 3: Will it be on Friday at FanFest?

345
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 2: I don't know.

346
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 3: He is a buddy of fanatics, had Hauncho Michael Rubin, right,

347
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 3: so they have a relationship.

348
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 2: New York City, big time.

349
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 3: No World Cup game that night, No, that's Lebron could

350
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,119
Speaker 3: dominate the news cycle for a couple of days until

351
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,719
Speaker 3: we get to the final on Sunday. I think Lebron

352
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 3: could possibly overshadow the third place game in the World Cup.

353
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 3: I think he's that big, bigger than a third place

354
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:30,679
Speaker 3: game on Saturday. And I assume it would be on

355
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:33,639
Speaker 3: his own podcast. You don't build up a platform like

356
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 3: that to give it away to somebody else.

357
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 2: I would agree with that.

358
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 1: So you think maybe mind the game podcast Tyre's Halliburton there.

359
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 2: It's weird, but that is weird. I'm with you. This

360
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:47,920
Speaker 2: is why this is one of the favorites. Yeah.

361
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 3: Plus yeah, would he be would he be nervous about

362
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 3: going up against the Odyssey opening night?

363
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 5: Oh? Wow?

364
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 2: On Friday, July seventeenth. I thought about that. I don't know,

365
00:17:58,760 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 2: I don't think so.

366
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:03,440
Speaker 3: What I mean, if he ends up going back to Cleveland,

367
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:08,440
Speaker 3: what an odyssey for Lebron finally returning home the King Synergy.

368
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 3: That's literally what the story is about. So that could

369
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 3: be the case. I'm doing my own odyssey out here.

370
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:18,880
Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, I actually like that now, Okay, Okay, yeah,

371
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 2: I'm in on podcast appearance. That would be my choice

372
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 2: for sure.

373
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 1: Okay, next one summer league appearance?

374
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 2: Plus six fifty? All right.

375
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 1: He has shown up plenty of times court side to

376
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 1: summer league, as a lot of these star guys do.

377
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 1: So who's to say, you know, he pulls up again

378
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 1: to the Thomas and Max Center, court side Seaton, Hell,

379
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 1: maybe the Cox Pavilion.

380
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 2: Wow, that'd be crazy.

381
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 1: That's a small gym, sits down with the team's owner,

382
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 1: the team's front office, the coaching staff, whatever, and sort

383
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: of announces it that way, almost by tipping his hand

384
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 1: with who he's with. Now, I'll push back on this one.

385
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 1: Maybe why it's plus six fifty if that was the

386
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 1: planned summer league you do that the first week in

387
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:03,439
Speaker 1: the summer league, Yes, you don't do that.

388
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 2: Now.

389
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 1: Now we're into the second week, we're almost starting.

390
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 2: To top prospects are shutting down exactly. Yeah, you know,

391
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 2: summer League.

392
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:10,880
Speaker 1: Let's be on, it's already sort of lost the buzz

393
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,120
Speaker 1: because a lot of these top guys are shutting down already.

394
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:17,200
Speaker 1: So I think it's unlikely. But your thoughts on potential

395
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 1: Vegas let's just call it Vegas.

396
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 2: Somebody do it in Vegas.

397
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, I think it's possible, But like you're saying,

398
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,239
Speaker 3: I think if this is what Lebron's plan was going

399
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:27,679
Speaker 3: to be, it would have already happened.

400
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:27,880
Speaker 2: Though.

401
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 3: I would love to see him come back and play

402
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 3: in Summer League for whatever team he joins. Oh imagine

403
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 3: he decides to be a Philadelphia seventy six ers and

404
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 3: then I'm gonna start by going out and playing the

405
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 3: second weekend of Summer League.

406
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 2: Oh wow, that's how we learned. I would be pretty crazy.

407
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 2: Tips off. Wow.

408
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, next one World Cup reveal. This one's a

409
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: Robbie Callen special plus eight hundred. So a lot of

410
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:49,160
Speaker 1: people think that Lebron will want to have a day

411
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 1: to himself to announce his decision and not share it

412
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 1: with the World Cup conversation. Exactly what you said, Trey.

413
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:59,400
Speaker 1: If that's the case, he would, in theory announce this Thursday,

414
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 1: Friday or next week Monday, after the World Cup is done.

415
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 1: But Robbie wonders, what if Lebron hijacks some of the

416
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:09,440
Speaker 1: attention on the World Cup, shows up to a game

417
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 1: and is wearing team gear for the team he is

418
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 1: selecting at the World Cup. Let's say the final on Sunday,

419
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 1: cool in New York. Yeah, Oh, conveniently, he'll be there.

420
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 2: He'll be there.

421
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 1: He's there for fanatics. Best I assume he's gonna stick

422
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 1: around for that that final.

423
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 2: He hasn't been to it. I don't game yet. I don't.

424
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,120
Speaker 3: I don't remember seeing him in a thing. I mean,

425
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 3: he was on vacation for a while.

426
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you know, plus eight hundred. Could he announce it?

427
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 1: Let's just even say the day of the World Cup.

428
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 1: Whether it's silly like showing up in tavs gear up

429
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:45,200
Speaker 1: in the press box when they show him on the broadcast,

430
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 1: what do you think?

431
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:48,160
Speaker 2: Not a chance? No?

432
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 3: Okay, no, I don't. I don't think Lebron would want

433
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:52,639
Speaker 3: to go head to head with the World Cup Okay,

434
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 3: especially not the final, right, Yeah, I don't. I mean

435
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 3: he would not even be the biggest name in the arena.

436
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:00,439
Speaker 5: Hmmm.

437
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,639
Speaker 3: So I can't imagine this is what it's gonna be,

438
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 3: but I could see him.

439
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 2: I do think he'll be there.

440
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:11,439
Speaker 3: Uh, and I can see us over analyzing what he's wearing.

441
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:13,679
Speaker 3: Like remember he went to a Yankees game once and

442
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 3: hold up a Yankees cap during the summer of twenty

443
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 3: or maybe it was like run in the run ups

444
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 3: to his Summer of twenty ten, decisions like oh, that.

445
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 2: Means he's going to the Yankees. That means he's going

446
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:26,679
Speaker 2: to New York, going to the Knicks. I kind of

447
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 2: go to the Yankees, you know.

448
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 3: I think Lebron being able to be a good athlete

449
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 3: and pretty much every sport.

450
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 2: I don't know if he's a baseball player. Only Michael

451
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 2: Jordan can do that. So I don't think the World

452
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 2: Cup is gonna happen, but I do think he will

453
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 2: be at the World Cup, and we will try to

454
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 2: figure out what that means.

455
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 1: Like if he's wearing a tank top, we might go ooh,

456
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 1: he's going to Miami.

457
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 2: Sure, yeah, yeah like that, Yeah, you're thinking he's in

458
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,679
Speaker 2: a park Cleveland or Minnesota. He's like in tm USA,

459
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 2: gear oh, Philadelphia, perhaps, Oh okay? Interesting?

460
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 1: All right, Well, what if he just showed up during

461
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 1: this World Cup final halftime show that apparently has everybody

462
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 1: in it. They're saying, like Shakira, Bieber, Madonna, what's the

463
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 1: Korean pop band Big One BTTs?

464
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, there's some big names here.

465
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 1: Cool, and he just shows up on stage like you know,

466
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 1: Bad Bunny had a bunch of celebrities. Maybe Lebron's dancing

467
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 1: in the back.

468
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 2: Lebron is the Ricky Martin of the World Cup. You

469
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,679
Speaker 2: said it, not me man? All right? Next one here,

470
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 2: wait a.

471
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 3: Second, Yeah, if it ends up being Spain versus Argentina

472
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 3: in the final, I think less chance Lebron goes to Adidas.

473
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 2: Teams couldn't wear a jersey for either of them. Just

474
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 2: saying England is I don't know if England. I think

475
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 2: England is maybe Umber, I think it might be right?

476
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, oh I had thought about that angle, all right.

477
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 1: Next one here on the how Lebron will announce his

478
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 1: free agency decision at plus for all right, so you

479
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 1: can make some coin on this golf related instagram post

480
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 1: okay okay.

481
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 2: Again.

482
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 1: In twenty eighteen, Lebron simply posted he was joining the

483
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 1: Lakers in an Instagram posts the night Free Agency opened,

484
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 1: Robbie Callen wondered if Lebron would break the news from

485
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:16,879
Speaker 1: the golf course this time, you know, post a clip

486
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 1: from the course, pan over to Steph Curry playing alongside him.

487
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 2: Mm hmm. Now it it's so Worri or something like that. Interesting.

488
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:27,639
Speaker 1: I want to go one step further because here's what

489
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:29,399
Speaker 1: I would propose if I was on Lebron's team and

490
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 1: he wanted to do it this way.

491
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:32,879
Speaker 2: Here's how you do the clip.

492
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 1: Right, Lebron's on the golf course, if there's nobody else

493
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,679
Speaker 1: there from any other team, He's got a long putt,

494
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,239
Speaker 1: I don't know, twenty twenty five foot. He's lining it up,

495
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 1: he's reading the greens, you know, he's doing the whole thing.

496
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:46,439
Speaker 1: And he walks around, he walks up, he sinks it.

497
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:48,919
Speaker 1: We sort of follow it with the camera.

498
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:49,120
Speaker 2: Bit.

499
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 1: Oh, it's a long putt, so it takes a while,

500
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 1: the drama builds.

501
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 2: It drops. What a putt?

502
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:55,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean there's a little pop. Then the camera

503
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 1: goes up. He goes up to retrieve his ball. He

504
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 1: pulls out the ball. It's got the logo of Right,

505
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 1: that would be cool publish it.

506
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, sure that's possible. What if they go like a

507
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:15,639
Speaker 3: gender reveal mode. Lebron steps up to the tee, He

508
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 3: smacks a ball as hard as he can and.

509
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 2: Explodes in a plume of blue and yellow. Right, he's

510
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:26,400
Speaker 2: a Golden State Warrior. Yeh yeah, yeah, it's not out

511
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:30,120
Speaker 2: of the realm of possibility. If it's golf related.

512
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,680
Speaker 3: I think it's a guarantee that it's the Golden State Warriors. Okay,

513
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 3: stuff was like, I really want to play golf with Lebron. Yeah,

514
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 3: he did say that that guy's a golfer. Lebron is

515
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,359
Speaker 3: now a golfer. Lebron just had his big golf trip

516
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 3: with all of his Cleveland Cavalier guys.

517
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 2: It kind of makes sense.

518
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:46,959
Speaker 1: Hey, look, I know I made these odds, so it's

519
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 1: probably illegal for me to bet on these. I like

520
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,160
Speaker 1: this one. I'm being dead serious here. Plus forty five

521
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 1: hundred golf related Instagram posts.

522
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 2: It's not bad. It's something. Yep.

523
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 1: He you know, he's really into golf right now. It's

524
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,719
Speaker 1: him to making still controlling the you know the news

525
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 1: on his own social media accounts, So I think it's

526
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 1: in play here, all right? Next one, two more for

527
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:12,880
Speaker 1: you at plus eight thousand, he waits till Christmas. We're

528
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 1: already two weeks into this thing. Three weeks true, what's

529
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 1: another five or six months? He slow plays this. He

530
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 1: actually sees how the teams look. He sees how Jellen

531
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 1: Brown is on the Sixers. He sees how Lamello Ball

532
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 1: is with the Wolves. He sees how, you know, good

533
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,360
Speaker 1: or bad the Warriors look, and what's going on in Cleveland,

534
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 1: And you're honest with my He just waits, and then

535
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 1: you can have a lot of fun with the Christmas

536
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 1: angle of it, all opening presents or something like that,

537
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:40,879
Speaker 1: and he pulls out the new Jersey. I don't know.

538
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 1: He just simply waits till Christmas. Plus eight thousand.

539
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:49,399
Speaker 2: Your reaction, Yeah, it's a long shot.

540
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, though I thought it was interesting. I forget who

541
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:56,400
Speaker 3: it was was saying that the Lebron decision will influence

542
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 3: which teams actually play on Christmas.

543
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 2: I know, I hadn't thought about that. Mark Stein, I

544
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:03,439
Speaker 2: believe I think yesterday that's right, that's right exactly. If

545
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 2: Lebron is on a team he will be playing on Christmas.

546
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:10,440
Speaker 1: So those poor schedule makers are they're just like they're waiting.

547
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:11,200
Speaker 2: They're waiting.

548
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 3: But I mean, which team that he would be going

549
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 3: to isn't going to be scheduled to play on Christmas anyways.

550
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,439
Speaker 3: I think every team he's looking at is a potential,

551
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 3: like Golden State likely could easily get a Christmas game.

552
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 3: Philadelphia versus Boston feels like it should be a Christmas

553
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:28,120
Speaker 3: game Miami.

554
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:30,120
Speaker 2: I think Cleveland.

555
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 1: I think Cleveland is be a lock for Christmas.

556
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:34,160
Speaker 2: Cleveland is not a lock for a Christmas game.

557
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,439
Speaker 3: I have to agree with you, of course, would if

558
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 3: he's there, Yes, definitely true. Okay, so I don't think

559
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 3: he's gonna wait, but look, the Qui investigation is taken

560
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 3: almost a year, so why not take half of a

561
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:47,920
Speaker 3: year to decide where you're going to play basketball?

562
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 2: It's actually I.

563
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:51,679
Speaker 1: Mean, this is silly, but it is would be the

564
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 1: smartest thing, although he would get so much backlash because

565
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 1: it'd be so funny. He could just wait to see

566
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 1: who's the best.

567
00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then okay, I'll go I'll join them and

568
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 2: try and get a fit three.

569
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, true, and then all the fans can be like,

570
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:05,959
Speaker 3: we're playing great, we don't need a Lebron.

571
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:08,399
Speaker 2: Yeah. He comes back and concerned. Yeah, that would be

572
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 2: a definite concern.

573
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:10,399
Speaker 1: Yeah.

574
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:10,680
Speaker 2: Okay.

575
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 1: Then flipping on his head, he's like, oh, there, they

576
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 1: are underperforming.

577
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 2: They need me.

578
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:16,639
Speaker 1: Cleveland needs me back. Sure, Miami needs me to help

579
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 1: figure their things. Yeah, okay, all right. Final one is

580
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,439
Speaker 1: at plus ten thousand, the decision two point zero. He

581
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 1: literally just has another prime time television special. He got,

582
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 1: you know, so much widespread backlash for the for the

583
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 1: last one now in large part because of the team

584
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 1: he selected and the Big Three and Foreman with Wade

585
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 1: and Bosh, but he just does it again. Who cares

586
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 1: Jim Gray, I know he's available, he can host it again.

587
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, they brought him back to the that's right.

588
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 1: Do the exact same thing. So plus ten thousand pretty unlikely.

589
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 2: He did record.

590
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 3: That Hennessy ad right, that was basically like spoofing the decision.

591
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,919
Speaker 3: So we know he still has a Gingham shirt he

592
00:27:57,960 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 3: can put on if need be.

593
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,919
Speaker 1: And didn't we learn that Donovan Mitchell was am I crazier.

594
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 1: Donovan Mitchell was a kid when he first announced.

595
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:10,159
Speaker 3: He's part of the Boys and girls club group that

596
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:11,920
Speaker 3: Lebron brought through or something like that.

597
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 2: Definitely possible. Do you think people would find it funny

598
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:20,920
Speaker 2: or like bringing up old wounds? I kind of think

599
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:24,159
Speaker 2: it's the former, Like I think people like him poking

600
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:27,440
Speaker 2: fun at himself. Yeah, yeah, I think.

601
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 1: Well, so if you were to do the decision too,

602
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 1: But let's say like suddenly tomorrow or like on ESPN

603
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:37,639
Speaker 1: schedule it says the decision two point zero, what team

604
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 1: do you think that would mean he's going to?

605
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 2: It feels like.

606
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 1: Only it would only be Cleveland or Miami. In that case,

607
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 1: you would think, to me, you would think, because you

608
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 1: either run it back completely and just go to South

609
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 1: Beach again, I'm taking my talent or it's like ha ha,

610
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 1: like that maybe what you wanted the first time. Yes,

611
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 1: and I stay in Cleveland that first time. Obviously I left,

612
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 1: but now I go back to me that would be

613
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 1: one of those two teams.

614
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 2: I think you're probably right.

615
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 1: All right, those are these seven things you can vote

616
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 1: on or I guess the odds you can bet they're

617
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 1: not real arts that you can propose where he's or

618
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 1: how he's going to decide his free agency decision. But

619
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 1: you should tell us in the stream team right now,

620
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 1: in the comments both on YouTube and Spotify. Other ways

621
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 1: Lebron could get creative and announce his actual free agency decision.

622
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 2: It's a weird time right now.

623
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 3: It's like, if you're a Warriors fan, you're like, all

624
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 3: of the Lebron has already agreed to come to the Warriors.

625
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 3: All of this stuff is just him drumming up interest around.

626
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 3: You know, Draymond was talking about him making a recruiting

627
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 3: pitch as well. If you're the seventy six ers, you're like,

628
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 3: we had all three of our guys talk to Lebron.

629
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 1: I know.

630
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 3: If you're the seventy six ers, you're also like, our

631
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 3: GM played high school basketball against him, so it must

632
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 3: be him. The Timberwolves are literally out here like begging

633
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 3: for Lebron services.

634
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 1: Ye.

635
00:29:56,840 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 2: At this point, Lebron is on top.

636
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 3: Right now, so I feel like he is not in

637
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 3: a hurried to his side because this is maybe the

638
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:09,240
Speaker 3: longest stretch that we've ever had of Lebron controlling the

639
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 3: free agency narrative, which is crazy because it's Lebron. Yeah,

640
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 3: this guy's been the biggest free agent name every time

641
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 3: he's come up. Sure, he did a television show. He

642
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 3: brought back sports I a little bit. Yeah, you know,

643
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 3: like he has been in control of everything and right

644
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 3: now he's just able to take his time and control

645
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 3: the narrative and shut down the league for a month

646
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 3: at a time if he wants to.

647
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 1: He turns forty two years old December. Yeah, that's you know,

648
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 1: widely forgotten.

649
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 2: So weird part of this, you know.

650
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, the oldest guy in the league and he still

651
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 1: has all this power. All right, let's take a break

652
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 1: and when we come back, we'll hit the beach to

Speaker 2: Pretty fun.

665
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 1: I can't remember if you know them, but two kids

666
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 1: I coached YMCA basketball for a couple of years ago

667
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 1: and remain friends with their family. Two of the boys

668
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 1: will be the little guys that come out walking with

669
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 1: the players today in Atlanta. They did all these soccer

670
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 1: camps to get on this list, to get the opportunity.

671
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 1: So I'll be watching early here today. I guess that

672
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 1: happens like ten minutes before the game starts.

673
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 2: Really true, it's pretty cool.

674
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, one of the girls friends is doing it was

675
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 3: one of those nice earlier for an earlier game.

676
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the crazy part of the semi final England

677
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 1: Argentina is like get Messy. I'm like, how do they

678
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:08,960
Speaker 1: decide that? I was wondering, is it literally lucky? What

679
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 1: do they do a draw?

680
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 3: Maybe they probably match heights a little bit, right, Like

681
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 3: maybe depending on the age of the kid, could be

682
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 3: taller than Messy.

683
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 2: Like my eleven year old is Messy.

684
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 3: Size, and I know there are kids taller than her.

685
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 1: Charlie and Connor are not No, no, they're they're smaller guys.

686
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 1: A lot of heart out on the basketball floor. Yeah,

687
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 1: so anyway, I'll be watching that, and I'm sure you

688
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 1: will be as well. Well, hold on, you might be No, No,

689
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 1: you'll be good. I'll be at the airport, but I will.

690
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 1: I'm hoping it's on at the airport. I'm sure it

691
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 1: will be.

692
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 2: Yes, Yes, I'll probably stream the first half in the

693
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 2: car and then watch the rest at Bobby Flay's Burgers.

694
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 2: Place is called eat Bobby's Burgers. It's where you want

695
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 2: to take it in a world. Okay for sure. All right,

696
00:32:55,000 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 2: let's hit the beach. JD. I got that, we got

697
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 2: that shit shackdown. Blah, you got that. We're on the beach.

698
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 1: Reading your emails or your tweets or your skeets or.

699
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:17,479
Speaker 2: Your ig comments whatever.

700
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 1: First one is from blue Sky, it's from disfigured media.

701
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 2: Who is the one.

702
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 1: Player you continue to hold out a rational hope for

703
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 1: and repeatedly convince yourself that the next destination could be

704
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 1: the one. My example, every time Bradley Beal is linked

705
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 1: to a new team, I think back to the one

706
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 1: season where I almost had the scoring title, and I

707
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 1: think Bradley Beal is a micro. So that's a fun question.

708
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 1: A player you just continue to hold out hope for

709
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 1: even though it's probably not happening.

710
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 2: Who's who's your guy?

711
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 3: I think everybody knows that mine is James Harden. I

712
00:33:56,680 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 3: just want to see him. I actually believe in James Harden. No,

713
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 3: for almost ten years. At this point, I don't really

714
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 3: believe in him. I guess it was like twenty eighteen

715
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:10,160
Speaker 3: when the Rockets had a chance to beat the Warriors,

716
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:13,240
Speaker 3: they missed all of their threes in a row. Obviously,

717
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:15,839
Speaker 3: at the end of Harden's tenure in Houston, he had

718
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:19,880
Speaker 3: like multiple double digit turnover games where he's just throwing

719
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:22,920
Speaker 3: it away in the playoffs, and that's when I was like, Okay,

720
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:25,319
Speaker 3: it's just never gonna happen. Yeah, but there's a time

721
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 3: during every season when James Harden's team goes like twenty

722
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:30,439
Speaker 3: and three.

723
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:33,760
Speaker 2: I was like, wait a second, it's not gonna happen.

724
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:37,800
Speaker 2: But it could. It happened. I want it to happen.

725
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:42,399
Speaker 3: And look, if Lebron joins the Caves, I will talk

726
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 3: myself into it.

727
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 2: Oh, it's eventually at some point James, James and James together.

728
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:53,280
Speaker 3: Okay, So yeah, you know James Harden now at thirty

729
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 3: six years old, he'll be thirty seven at the start

730
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:58,360
Speaker 3: of the season. He's had his best chances for sure,

731
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:00,759
Speaker 3: But what if he does it.

732
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 1: Who do you think would need a championship even at

733
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 1: the end of their career. More between Harden and Westbrook

734
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:11,480
Speaker 1: to improve a legacy.

735
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 2: I think it's Harden. I think so too. Yeah, yeah,

736
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:15,960
Speaker 2: I think.

737
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 3: He's considered a little bit ahead of Westbrook just from like,

738
00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:22,319
Speaker 3: I mean, how many times had Harden finished top two

739
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:24,759
Speaker 3: or three in MVP voting when.

740
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:28,480
Speaker 2: He was at his RUSS he got one? Yeah, oh yeah, yeah,

741
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:31,960
Speaker 2: Harden got him MVP finished top three four straight years.

742
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 2: He averaged thirty six a game.

743
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 3: We knew that when Westbrook won an MVP there was

744
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 3: like no chance his team was going to win the

745
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:42,480
Speaker 3: championship when he assumed his like highest stat counting he

746
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:46,560
Speaker 3: was not really a championship contender at that point, whereas

747
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:49,759
Speaker 3: Harden's teams were, and he was, like, Harden was on

748
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 3: the second best team in the league against those yeah

749
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 3: Warriors teams. They've just you couldn't beat the Warriors at

750
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 3: the time, especially especially he couldn't. So I think him

751
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 3: like that's that the kapper on his yea especially.

752
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:06,640
Speaker 1: And the knock on Harden his obviously playoff futility, yes, stinkers.

753
00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 1: So if he ever had some big games at the

754
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 1: right time, like again even late in his career, to

755
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 1: win one, that would be that would be huge for him.

756
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:16,440
Speaker 2: I mean, look, they both could use one.

757
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 1: And sure it doesn't hurt anybody, especially these guys in

758
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 1: terms of like how we'll think about them later on.

759
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:22,879
Speaker 2: But yeah, I.

760
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 1: Like the hardened answer. I thought you would go with him.

761
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 1: I went with and I can't believe I'm saying it,

762
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:33,480
Speaker 1: Uh Ben Simmons, no way. I mean, has he found

763
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 1: the joy again?

764
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:37,640
Speaker 2: It's not even team. I know, he probably won't even play.

765
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 2: I mean he's talking about it.

766
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 1: It's tough, like it's tough though, not to think why

767
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:44,439
Speaker 1: couldn't he be good?

768
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:44,720
Speaker 2: Still?

769
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:47,360
Speaker 1: He was good once upon time. His whole thing is

770
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:49,719
Speaker 1: always like does he really or had he ever cared

771
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:52,400
Speaker 1: about basketball that much? Doesn't feel that way going back

772
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 1: to even college.

773
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:53,720
Speaker 2: It just doesn't.

774
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 1: He doesn't feel like he has it that he loves basketball,

775
00:36:57,840 --> 00:36:59,600
Speaker 1: but he's still good because of the size and the

776
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 1: skills and stuff like that he was And then of

777
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:04,279
Speaker 1: course it completely falls apart. But you know, then I

778
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:07,319
Speaker 1: see him hit a three pointer in a small gym

779
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 1: during the summer without his shirt on. I'm like, oh, yeah,

780
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 1: he's back, baby, his tongue in cheek.

781
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:12,960
Speaker 2: Do I really believe this?

782
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 1: No, But a guy that looks like that and can

783
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 1: move like that at that size, with his passing and

784
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 1: his like his like, it's like, doesn't make sense.

785
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:23,360
Speaker 2: It's perplexing.

786
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know, he fell in love with golf

787
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:27,799
Speaker 1: or fishing, fell in.

788
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:30,360
Speaker 3: Love with fishing, went to the bubble clot of bass,

789
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:35,239
Speaker 3: and his life was changed. I don't blame him, but man,

790
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 3: is he gonna play? I will see we will.

791
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:41,840
Speaker 2: A team take a chance on him? I don't, probably not.

792
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 3: I was also forecasting into the future. Two guys I

793
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:48,200
Speaker 3: think will be my answer for this question in ten

794
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:49,800
Speaker 3: years could be LaMelo Ball.

795
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:52,759
Speaker 2: And Pallo Bancaro. Oh yeah, I'll love the way these

796
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:56,040
Speaker 2: guys play. I do think they can be winners. But

797
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:58,440
Speaker 2: are they going to be tough?

798
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:02,400
Speaker 1: We'll see if if I'm forecasting, it's obviously Leonard Miller. Sure,

799
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:07,239
Speaker 1: I'll those demanding teams give him a chance. But right now, yay, Look,

800
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:09,600
Speaker 1: he has an opportunity there on a sort of a

801
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:10,400
Speaker 1: bad bulls.

802
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:12,239
Speaker 2: Team that's looking like maybe he'll be a little more

803
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:14,800
Speaker 2: exciting now he can at least jump over Noah a

804
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:15,879
Speaker 2: Singay in the pack.

805
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:20,840
Speaker 1: You know, yeah, just link yourself with obviously kill Wilson

806
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:24,120
Speaker 1: there and Bizillas. We got something all right? Next one

807
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:27,879
Speaker 1: here suck dunks. So the NBA has received bids from

808
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:31,400
Speaker 1: more than twenty groups vying to participate in NBA Europe,

809
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 1: which is the upcoming European Basketball League. I can't remember

810
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:36,880
Speaker 1: if you guys have already addressed this or not, but

811
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 1: are you excited for NBA Europe? Concerned? Couldn't give a damn.

812
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:43,440
Speaker 1: I would love to hear your thoughts. That's from Pat

813
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 1: all the way in London. So the news here is

814
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:49,319
Speaker 1: that the NBA is finalizing plans with FIBA to launch

815
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 1: NBA Europe. It's going to be a sixteen team professional league,

816
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:56,359
Speaker 1: targeting an October twenty twenty seven start, so not this

817
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:59,080
Speaker 1: coming season but the next season. I guess it will

818
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 1: feature twelve permanent franchises in major markets and then four

819
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:05,239
Speaker 1: spots filled by way of promotion. That's what we know.

820
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:07,319
Speaker 1: One of the teams will be in London. There's no doubts.

821
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:10,680
Speaker 1: Maybe Pat's excited about it. What about Trey Kirby NBA Europe.

822
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 3: For me, I'm don Draper and NBA Europe is Ginsburg.

823
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:19,320
Speaker 3: I don't think about it at all. But no offense

824
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:20,920
Speaker 3: friends reference.

825
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:25,000
Speaker 2: I recently watched this. I got it, but I hates

826
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 2: mad Men. Oh yeah, no, I don't. I just think

827
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:30,399
Speaker 2: it's supremely overrated. It came in a great time.

828
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, before there was multiple good shows on TCA. Okay,

829
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:39,120
Speaker 3: but I really don't. Okay, And I'm like, do you

830
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:40,319
Speaker 3: think about EuroLeague at all?

831
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:42,440
Speaker 2: No? No, that's what it is for me.

832
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 3: The only thing that I do think it's interesting, like

833
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:46,880
Speaker 3: to see how close they're getting to launching here. It

834
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:50,319
Speaker 3: looks like twelve permanent teams for promotion spots. Teams are

835
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:53,800
Speaker 3: coming through with multiple billion dollar bids, according to Adam Silver,

836
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 3: who just hired our tourist Cardnisivus to help with the

837
00:39:57,200 --> 00:39:58,759
Speaker 3: launch over in Europe.

838
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:02,279
Speaker 2: Like, the best thing I can say is that hopefully

839
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:04,400
Speaker 2: this league is successful and it can turn into like

840
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:08,840
Speaker 2: a global tournament between NBA North America versus NBA Europe.

841
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:11,440
Speaker 2: I think that would be exciting to see the.

842
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:14,800
Speaker 1: I guess if you want to call them the permanent

843
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:17,320
Speaker 1: franchises in the major markets. Like I said, it's looking

844
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:25,600
Speaker 1: like London, Manchester, Paris, Lyon, Madrid, Barcelona, Berlin, Munich, Milan, Rome,

845
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:29,360
Speaker 1: Istanbul and then Athens in Greece. Those are the twelve

846
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:32,800
Speaker 1: major markets. And then we've been told that European teams

847
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:36,000
Speaker 1: could earn the right to compete in NBA Europe by

848
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:39,840
Speaker 1: winning a tournament or winning Foeba's Basketball Champions League.

849
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:42,120
Speaker 2: I think that is cool. Yeah, like I do like

850
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 2: this idea.

851
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:46,960
Speaker 1: I guess it sounds like will that involve the potential

852
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:50,879
Speaker 1: of relegation or like also being into this league. That's

853
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:54,440
Speaker 1: fascinating to me. Yeah, it's a bit of a wait

854
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:57,400
Speaker 1: and see. But I do wonder if No Dunk should

855
00:40:57,560 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 1: plant their flag early here on NBA Europe because they're

856
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:02,480
Speaker 1: gonna want to promote it, right, they're gonna want to

857
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:06,359
Speaker 1: build it, especially here stateside. I could see a lot

858
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:08,960
Speaker 1: of trips for us in the coming future, some of

859
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:13,400
Speaker 1: these beautiful cities, you know, you know, sure, I'd like

860
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:16,240
Speaker 1: to go to some of these places, watch some basketball,

861
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:19,120
Speaker 1: take in the sights and sounds. So anyway, uh, yeah,

862
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:22,719
Speaker 1: they look there's no doubt the NBA c is a

863
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:25,279
Speaker 1: huge financial model here in business here and just there

864
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:27,160
Speaker 1: they've said, even like there's a lot of money being

865
00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:28,800
Speaker 1: left on the table with the way euro League is

866
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:30,839
Speaker 1: run stuff like that, So let's do it ourselves and

867
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:36,440
Speaker 1: franchise sales and investments and media rights agreements and all

868
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:39,319
Speaker 1: this stuff, sales and merchandise and all this stuff, ticket sales.

869
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:42,520
Speaker 1: So yeah, we'll see, we'll see. NBA Europe wonder if

870
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:43,680
Speaker 1: that's what they're just gonna call it.

871
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:46,719
Speaker 2: Probably, yeah, I guess, so keep it. NFL was right,

872
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:52,719
Speaker 2: NFL play back in the day. I don't know. I'm

873
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 2: not gonna follow the NBA eure. I oh, I don't know.

874
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:56,719
Speaker 3: I'm not going to I'll tell you that much right now.

875
00:41:56,760 --> 00:41:58,960
Speaker 3: I just I will not care enough. But the timing

876
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:01,920
Speaker 3: will be nice because like what, they're like five or

877
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:03,160
Speaker 3: six hours ahead of us.

878
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:05,200
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, daytime basketball.

879
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:07,359
Speaker 2: Well that's that's good and bad.

880
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:09,879
Speaker 3: You tell me, I'm gonna be watching basketball from four

881
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:12,200
Speaker 3: pm until two am a lot more basketball.

882
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:13,520
Speaker 2: Yeah.

883
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:15,919
Speaker 4: Well, so having the World Cup on it is nice,

884
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 4: having a game on it, that's for em.

885
00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:22,239
Speaker 2: Absolutely, it's great. Yeah all right, and yeah Europe your

886
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:24,120
Speaker 2: thought that's here, that's literally here.

887
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:29,040
Speaker 1: But for some reason, yeah, yeah, So everybody in Europe

888
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:31,279
Speaker 1: can watch it at a more primetime time. All right,

889
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:33,640
Speaker 1: next one. This one caught me by surprise, so I

890
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:37,120
Speaker 1: had to include it. This is by or from YouTube

891
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:41,680
Speaker 1: Aximus eleven. If Wenby is guaranteed to be a Hall

892
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:45,440
Speaker 1: of Famer, why can't Anthony Edwards be one? Every single

893
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:47,319
Speaker 1: year he has added something to his game. He went

894
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:49,560
Speaker 1: from shooting thirty four percent and being a non shooter

895
00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:51,960
Speaker 1: in college to being the best or second best shooter

896
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:54,319
Speaker 1: in the NBA. He went from a terrible mid range

897
00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:56,680
Speaker 1: shooter to a very good one, and he can level

898
00:42:56,760 --> 00:43:00,520
Speaker 1: up like this. What is Anthony Edward's ceiling? And why

899
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:04,279
Speaker 1: does no one see this stuff that he's improving? So

900
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:08,319
Speaker 1: we have an fan here in the YouTube comments saying, look,

901
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:12,280
Speaker 1: we talk about Wemby's future Hall of Fame case, why

902
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:14,160
Speaker 1: not Anthony Edwards.

903
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:17,120
Speaker 2: To which Trey Kirby says, doesn't everybody think Anthony Edwards

904
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:18,000
Speaker 2: is going to be a Hall of Famer?

905
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:20,480
Speaker 3: I would think so, yeah, yeah, He's already third all

906
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:23,560
Speaker 3: time in scoring for the Timberwolves. Like this is a

907
00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:25,960
Speaker 3: crazy question to me. I assume that Anthony Edwards is

908
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:27,880
Speaker 3: a lock for the Hall of Fame. Remember, he was

909
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:31,320
Speaker 3: drafted number one overall. People realize he's a good player,

910
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 3: multiple time All Star, multiple time All NBA player, He's

911
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:36,080
Speaker 3: gonna make the Hall of Fame.

912
00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:39,320
Speaker 1: He's on his way. Yes, yes, to give you the accolades.

913
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:42,000
Speaker 1: Wemby has played only three NBA seasons. He's averaging twenty

914
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:44,200
Speaker 1: three and eleven with three and a half assists per

915
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:46,759
Speaker 1: game and three and a half blocks per game. He's

916
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:49,480
Speaker 1: won Rookie of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year.

917
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:52,440
Speaker 1: He made two All Star Games, two All Defensive First Teams,

918
00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:56,160
Speaker 1: and one All NBA First Team selection. Ant has played

919
00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 1: twice as long as Wemby, six full seasons. He's averaging

920
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:02,440
Speaker 1: in his career twenty five points per game five boards

921
00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:05,600
Speaker 1: for assists. He's made four All Star teams, two All

922
00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:08,319
Speaker 1: NBA Second Teams, and didn't make it this past year

923
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:10,719
Speaker 1: because he didn't hit the sixty five game threshold. Came

924
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 1: in at like sixty or sixty one games played. So

925
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:16,279
Speaker 1: it's a good start for both guys. I'm with you

926
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:19,600
Speaker 1: on this now. I liked including this because you are

927
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:23,000
Speaker 1: right that he definitely worked on things that were like

928
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:26,400
Speaker 1: seen to be like a limitation of his coming in

929
00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:29,160
Speaker 1: even as the number one pick, and as he's gone

930
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:32,080
Speaker 1: in his NBA career, here already adding And you know,

931
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:35,480
Speaker 1: I don't think he's the best shooter in the NBA,

932
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:37,759
Speaker 1: maybe not even second best, but I get what you're saying.

933
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:39,839
Speaker 1: He takes obviously he's added the three point game. Takes

934
00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:42,439
Speaker 1: a lot of them, and it's pretty consistent with it. So, yeah,

935
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:45,120
Speaker 1: he's on his way. Man, don't worry.

936
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 3: I mean, Anthony Ambers is going to make ten plus

937
00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:50,439
Speaker 3: All Star games. Yeah, he's going to be a first

938
00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:51,280
Speaker 3: ballot Hall of Famer.

939
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:53,920
Speaker 2: Okay, there you go.

940
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:57,759
Speaker 3: Basketball Reference has six point five percent chance right now

941
00:44:57,960 --> 00:44:58,520
Speaker 3: he makes.

942
00:44:58,320 --> 00:44:58,879
Speaker 2: The Hall of Fame.

943
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:02,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like if you're retired tomorrow, he ain't making.

944
00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:03,239
Speaker 2: The Hall of Fame.

945
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:06,799
Speaker 3: No, no, no, I think he will have a Hall

946
00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:09,560
Speaker 3: of Fame case in the next five seasons. But it'd

947
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:12,080
Speaker 3: be nice to see him get any sort of accolades

948
00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:15,160
Speaker 3: or accomplishments outside of All Star in all NBA, which

949
00:45:15,200 --> 00:45:18,680
Speaker 3: go to fifteen to thirty players a year, like get

950
00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:21,160
Speaker 3: one of the big ones, get an MVP, probably not

951
00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:23,480
Speaker 3: going to be a Defensive Player of the Year, make

952
00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:26,000
Speaker 3: a finals, you know, like, yeah, there are some benchmarks

953
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:26,640
Speaker 3: he still.

954
00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:26,960
Speaker 2: Has to hit.

955
00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:29,520
Speaker 3: But I like, if you told me Anthony Edwards doesn't

956
00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:31,640
Speaker 3: make a finals in his entire career, but he plays

957
00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:33,600
Speaker 3: fifteen seasons, I think he'll still be a Hall of Famer.

958
00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:40,000
Speaker 1: Like right now, he basically compares just Accolades wise similar,

959
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:41,600
Speaker 1: I guess to like a Trey Young right a lot

960
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:43,680
Speaker 1: of All Star selections. I don't think Trey's made two

961
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:46,400
Speaker 1: ll NBA teams, but you know that's sort of the

962
00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:50,160
Speaker 1: idea here, and I'm putting Aunt above Trey Young. He

963
00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:51,759
Speaker 1: also has made a couple of conference finals. You know,

964
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:54,560
Speaker 1: Trade made one, Ant's made two. There's that, But yeah,

965
00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:56,239
Speaker 1: he's got a long way to go. Guy averages twenty

966
00:45:56,280 --> 00:45:58,000
Speaker 1: five points pre game. I wonder if Anthony Edwards will

967
00:45:58,040 --> 00:46:01,840
Speaker 1: lead the league in scoring one year. Hmm that I

968
00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:04,279
Speaker 1: don't know, just chucking it out there.

969
00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:06,160
Speaker 2: He was at twenty eight per game this year?

970
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:12,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, exactly where does he plateau thirty three? Does

971
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:14,920
Speaker 1: he have a thirty point per game season in them?

972
00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:15,399
Speaker 2: And yeah?

973
00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:18,120
Speaker 1: Is that even enough in today's game where it feels

974
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:19,680
Speaker 1: like there's like four other guys that can do that.

975
00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:24,440
Speaker 3: I mean, he could get I don't think he'll legian

976
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:26,600
Speaker 3: scoring I don't either. Yeah, now that I'm looking at it,

977
00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:28,680
Speaker 3: but he's going to be playing with LaMelo now, so

978
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:29,879
Speaker 3: best setup.

979
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:31,279
Speaker 2: Man he's ever played with. It's true. True.

980
00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:33,160
Speaker 3: Also maybe a guy who takes a bigger share of

981
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:34,520
Speaker 3: possessions than he's ever played with.

982
00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:37,000
Speaker 2: We'll see, all right, next one.

983
00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:41,440
Speaker 1: Have you all seen the Marquise Brownlee YouTube video explaining

984
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:43,760
Speaker 1: all the tech and cameras at NBA games.

985
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:45,279
Speaker 2: I have not watched this. I don't know.

986
00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:48,560
Speaker 1: About TKJD, but the most amazing thing to me was

987
00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:52,040
Speaker 1: showcasing how skilled the camera men had to be to

988
00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:54,359
Speaker 1: move the camera around to track the ball while keeping

989
00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:57,399
Speaker 1: it in focus at that speed, and quickly being able

990
00:46:57,440 --> 00:46:59,760
Speaker 1: to find specific players on the court at the whim

991
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:03,200
Speaker 1: of the director. This inspired a beach question, what's a

992
00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:07,920
Speaker 1: technical skill involving a tool or piece of equipment? You

993
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:11,080
Speaker 1: have had to really try, really hard to learn, whether

994
00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:13,000
Speaker 1: for your job or just personal life. Thanks for a

995
00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:16,680
Speaker 1: decade of good times. This is from mister Verley, and

996
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:19,320
Speaker 1: mister Hurley is a high school teacher, because he said

997
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:23,640
Speaker 1: his answer to this was probably tech support for laptops

998
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:29,600
Speaker 1: and tablets, iPad, Mac, Microsoft surface chromebooks, androids from Samsung

999
00:47:29,719 --> 00:47:32,319
Speaker 1: or Lenovo. Having to help a kid figure out why

1000
00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:35,120
Speaker 1: they can't upload their assignments or why the slides won't

1001
00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:38,160
Speaker 1: show is so frustrating. But just the thing you need

1002
00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:38,799
Speaker 1: to get good at.

1003
00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:40,600
Speaker 2: So that was his.

1004
00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:43,359
Speaker 1: Answer, mister Verurley, So is there a technical skill that

1005
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:46,040
Speaker 1: you've you just had to learn at least?

1006
00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:49,080
Speaker 3: Well, okay, something I'm trying to get good at is

1007
00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:53,800
Speaker 3: the souvid in the kitchen, you know, like a cooks

1008
00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:56,200
Speaker 3: things in a hot water bath. For lack of a

1009
00:47:56,239 --> 00:47:56,680
Speaker 3: better word.

1010
00:47:56,760 --> 00:47:58,960
Speaker 2: Yep, Like, oh, you gotta get a soouvide. You can

1011
00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:00,160
Speaker 2: make so much delicious food.

1012
00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:03,120
Speaker 3: I've had mine for probably three years, and I don't

1013
00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:05,160
Speaker 3: think I've made anything besides a steak.

1014
00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:07,680
Speaker 2: That's a great way to make a steak. You set

1015
00:48:07,719 --> 00:48:10,960
Speaker 2: your temp, I'll let it cook for however long. You

1016
00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:15,360
Speaker 2: bring it out, pad it dry, sear it delicious, steak.

1017
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:15,759
Speaker 2: It's good.

1018
00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:19,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, but there's got to be something else. People are like, oh,

1019
00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:21,600
Speaker 3: you can sue vine carrots, They're delicious.

1020
00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:25,239
Speaker 2: I was like, I am not souveating carrots. Weird. Not

1021
00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:27,200
Speaker 2: that it wouldn't be good, but it just feels like

1022
00:48:27,280 --> 00:48:29,640
Speaker 2: it's like it's like a lot of work to make

1023
00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:30,520
Speaker 2: a carry. Yeah.

1024
00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:32,759
Speaker 3: People say say a chicken breast is delicious and it

1025
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:34,200
Speaker 3: will be the best chicken breast you could ever have.

1026
00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:37,360
Speaker 2: Sure, I believe very juicy. Yeah exactly, But also like

1027
00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:40,680
Speaker 2: I'm gonna spend two hours making a chicken breast. That

1028
00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:43,359
Speaker 2: seems crazy to me too. So if you've got an

1029
00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:45,600
Speaker 2: idea on what I can do with my souvene besides

1030
00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:49,040
Speaker 2: a cook a steak two times a year, how long

1031
00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:52,799
Speaker 2: does the steak take? Hours? Oh, like, I'll pop it

1032
00:48:52,840 --> 00:48:55,080
Speaker 2: in for two hours, go do stuff.

1033
00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:57,879
Speaker 1: Wow, I didn't realize it was sort of that long.

1034
00:48:58,080 --> 00:48:58,360
Speaker 1: I don't know.

1035
00:48:58,520 --> 00:49:00,359
Speaker 2: In my head, it's like hard to over things.

1036
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:00,480
Speaker 1: Oh.

1037
00:49:00,520 --> 00:49:02,520
Speaker 3: The other thing I've made is a pork tenderline, also

1038
00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:05,359
Speaker 3: also delicious. But uh, there's got to be better uses.

1039
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:08,759
Speaker 1: Okay, so he's getting the skills up or he wants

1040
00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:09,200
Speaker 1: to learn more.

1041
00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:11,799
Speaker 2: Help try out in the comments, JD, do you have

1042
00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:12,200
Speaker 2: an answer?

1043
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:16,040
Speaker 4: Yes, literally every piece of equipment in front of me. Yeah,

1044
00:49:16,040 --> 00:49:18,880
Speaker 4: it was a constant trouble. But I remember when we

1045
00:49:18,880 --> 00:49:21,239
Speaker 4: were the starters. This is not so much of me

1046
00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:26,120
Speaker 4: as more medio, but getting the starters show onto YouTube

1047
00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:31,360
Speaker 4: the NBA channel, Yeah, was such an ordeal, Like matt

1048
00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:35,840
Speaker 4: actually had to go into code like and write code

1049
00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:40,120
Speaker 4: to get it on YouTube for some reason what. I

1050
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:42,919
Speaker 4: can't remember the exact details, but I swear to guy

1051
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:45,279
Speaker 4: like I tapped out at a certain point. I think

1052
00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:48,600
Speaker 4: it took him like two hundred hours, no exaggeration, to

1053
00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:52,239
Speaker 4: just learn how to do it and get it up there.

1054
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:53,200
Speaker 2: He really was.

1055
00:49:53,239 --> 00:49:55,279
Speaker 1: We got to give Mattio his flowers. The only real

1056
00:49:55,280 --> 00:49:57,319
Speaker 1: reason it ever got up to you to Oh my god,

1057
00:49:58,000 --> 00:49:59,920
Speaker 1: just like he just like he's relent.

1058
00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:00,560
Speaker 2: You know.

1059
00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:04,040
Speaker 1: You said those people were just like, okay, well too difficult.

1060
00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:06,160
Speaker 1: I guess it doesn't go up to YouTube. No, No,

1061
00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:06,880
Speaker 1: it's ridiculous.

1062
00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:09,239
Speaker 4: And not only that convincing them that you put it

1063
00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:11,160
Speaker 4: on there, that was half of it, right, yeah, but

1064
00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:15,160
Speaker 4: the actual technical and it's so simple to post a

1065
00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:19,279
Speaker 4: fucking YouTube video, right, like, just give us a goddamn credentials.

1066
00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:27,600
Speaker 4: At the time, it was stern, but anyways, it was insane. Yeah,

1067
00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:31,200
Speaker 4: but this job is constantly, like every every fucking year,

1068
00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:35,280
Speaker 4: there's something new we got to learn, and it's crazy.

1069
00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:38,359
Speaker 1: To piggyback off your answer. I wrote down Premiere Pro

1070
00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:41,200
Speaker 1: because I'm trying to help with the shorts and stuff

1071
00:50:41,239 --> 00:50:41,839
Speaker 1: like that, and like.

1072
00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:44,080
Speaker 5: I don't know this, so you're killing it.

1073
00:50:44,080 --> 00:50:46,080
Speaker 1: It's not hard, Let's be honest, Like I could do

1074
00:50:46,120 --> 00:50:49,000
Speaker 1: basic stuff, but you having you like guide me through

1075
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:52,399
Speaker 1: some things too, and it is fun. I mean I'm like, oh, yeah,

1076
00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:55,160
Speaker 1: I went to school for this. I always remind myself,

1077
00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:57,120
Speaker 1: like I did go to school for this. Not that

1078
00:50:57,160 --> 00:50:59,960
Speaker 1: we were using Premiere Pro. No, when we were in school.

1079
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:02,480
Speaker 2: We don't even think. I don't even know if it existed.

1080
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:05,200
Speaker 5: At that time. Maybe question, maybe we were using final

1081
00:51:05,239 --> 00:51:06,040
Speaker 5: Cut final Cut.

1082
00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:10,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, but anyway, good question, mister Burley, and good luck

1083
00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:11,279
Speaker 1: with the school year.

1084
00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:14,239
Speaker 2: Hey when does summer? And for you, mister, that's what

1085
00:51:14,280 --> 00:51:15,840
Speaker 2: I want to know. It depends where you are.

1086
00:51:15,960 --> 00:51:18,279
Speaker 1: Yes, school here they go back to school early August's

1087
00:51:18,560 --> 00:51:23,440
Speaker 1: but in Canada September early September, right after Labor Day.

1088
00:51:23,719 --> 00:51:27,359
Speaker 1: All right, next one, where are we here? Number five? Okay, Hey,

1089
00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:30,200
Speaker 1: no Diddley Dinks. Oh it's a good one. Can you

1090
00:51:30,200 --> 00:51:32,840
Speaker 1: give us your mount rushmore of NBA basketball shoes? You

1091
00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:35,680
Speaker 1: got to exclude the Jordan ones. We all know those

1092
00:51:35,719 --> 00:51:36,879
Speaker 1: are Number one.

1093
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:40,200
Speaker 2: That was a little shocked by that, but he's right,

1094
00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:43,839
Speaker 2: is absolutely right, okay, well good, we'll exclude them.

1095
00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:44,120
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1096
00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:46,719
Speaker 3: Classic Mount Rushmore where you take off the one thing

1097
00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:47,080
Speaker 3: you know.

1098
00:51:47,040 --> 00:51:50,359
Speaker 1: Should be who would come down from the real Mount

1099
00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:52,120
Speaker 1: Rushmore or taking down George.

1100
00:51:51,840 --> 00:51:53,920
Speaker 2: Washing I think Washington. Yeah.

1101
00:51:53,960 --> 00:51:57,680
Speaker 1: So these can be ranked by on court performance, off

1102
00:51:57,680 --> 00:52:00,799
Speaker 1: court wear ability, impact on culture. Up to you, it's

1103
00:52:00,840 --> 00:52:01,760
Speaker 1: your Mount Rushmore.

1104
00:52:02,200 --> 00:52:02,520
Speaker 2: Thanks.

1105
00:52:02,520 --> 00:52:07,239
Speaker 1: That's from Miguel in Austin. Who can I give a

1106
00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:08,440
Speaker 1: real weird tangent here?

1107
00:52:08,520 --> 00:52:08,920
Speaker 2: Okay?

1108
00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:12,759
Speaker 1: And this is really for you guys Austin. We were

1109
00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:20,640
Speaker 1: there recently for the Spurs Sun's game. Yes, we went

1110
00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:23,080
Speaker 1: down through Ledger. Thanks to Leger for sending us. Did

1111
00:52:23,080 --> 00:52:26,400
Speaker 1: some content while we were there. We stayed in I

1112
00:52:26,440 --> 00:52:27,680
Speaker 1: forget the name of it. We were in that one

1113
00:52:27,680 --> 00:52:32,000
Speaker 1: hotel though, right, Okay, I am rewatching for like the

1114
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:34,640
Speaker 1: third time now because I love it The Leftovers. Yes,

1115
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:39,000
Speaker 1: and without spoiling anything, there is a huge part of

1116
00:52:39,160 --> 00:52:42,920
Speaker 1: The Leftover's sort of well okay, I won't say anymore,

1117
00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:45,840
Speaker 1: but they're in a hotel and I'm like, I'm watching

1118
00:52:45,880 --> 00:52:49,000
Speaker 1: it and I'm like, what the hell It's like? It

1119
00:52:49,040 --> 00:52:50,920
Speaker 1: was like like in my brain somewhere, I'm like, I

1120
00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:54,040
Speaker 1: think I've been there. I think I remember walking there.

1121
00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:57,800
Speaker 1: I think I know that pool. Anyway, it's the Austin Hotel.

1122
00:52:58,440 --> 00:53:01,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, really, yes, it's a random home. Oh yeah.

1123
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:04,000
Speaker 1: I was like and then I was so excited and

1124
00:53:04,040 --> 00:53:06,239
Speaker 1: there's so many parts of it that they so I'm like, oh, yeah,

1125
00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:07,160
Speaker 1: we were there, We're there, were there.

1126
00:53:07,239 --> 00:53:10,239
Speaker 2: Anyway, I got all the pink cowboy boots. Still they

1127
00:53:10,239 --> 00:53:11,600
Speaker 2: didn't have that. They didn't show that part.

1128
00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:13,760
Speaker 1: It was a lot about the pool area, that little

1129
00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:18,239
Speaker 1: grassy knoll and then those stairs that went down to

1130
00:53:18,320 --> 00:53:20,879
Speaker 1: the bottom bar where we chopped it up with those

1131
00:53:20,880 --> 00:53:27,080
Speaker 1: guys about Canada USA hockey. Anyway, that's a tangent leftovers.

1132
00:53:27,080 --> 00:53:27,680
Speaker 2: You should watch it.

1133
00:53:27,719 --> 00:53:30,080
Speaker 1: Okay, Miguel in Austin wants to know your Mount rushmore

1134
00:53:30,080 --> 00:53:32,040
Speaker 1: of NBA basketball shoes, and I think, TK you are

1135
00:53:32,040 --> 00:53:32,520
Speaker 1: the man for this.

1136
00:53:32,680 --> 00:53:35,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, this was actually pretty easy for me. I kind

1137
00:53:35,920 --> 00:53:39,520
Speaker 2: of went era by era, So that's how I've organized

1138
00:53:39,560 --> 00:53:43,160
Speaker 2: my mount Rush. Moore the first shoe that makes it,

1139
00:53:43,800 --> 00:53:45,240
Speaker 2: I guess it would be on the left, the Adida

1140
00:53:45,320 --> 00:53:51,600
Speaker 2: Superstar like original shelter, one of the first, one of

1141
00:53:51,680 --> 00:53:54,520
Speaker 2: the first basketball shoes that was quite notable. Kareem Abdul

1142
00:53:54,600 --> 00:53:55,600
Speaker 2: Jabbar wore these.

1143
00:53:55,600 --> 00:53:59,680
Speaker 3: Adidas was hugely popular in the nineteen seventies before Nike

1144
00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:01,440
Speaker 3: really started taking over, so that was an easy one

1145
00:54:01,640 --> 00:54:04,319
Speaker 3: to get on there for me. Following that up, we're

1146
00:54:04,320 --> 00:54:07,200
Speaker 3: going to the nineteen eighties. It's the converse weapon. You've

1147
00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:11,600
Speaker 3: seen the hilarious commercial with like Magic and Larry Bird.

1148
00:54:11,600 --> 00:54:14,560
Speaker 3: They're trying to wrap yes with these, but like they

1149
00:54:14,560 --> 00:54:17,560
Speaker 3: had cool versions for both, Like Magic had the purple,

1150
00:54:17,719 --> 00:54:21,400
Speaker 3: yellow and white addition, Larry Bird just black and white

1151
00:54:21,520 --> 00:54:23,400
Speaker 3: standard stuff. So that was an easy one for me.

1152
00:54:23,480 --> 00:54:27,319
Speaker 3: That was my eighties representative. Then the nineties two thousands

1153
00:54:27,760 --> 00:54:30,120
Speaker 3: generation it would have been the Jordan one, but in

1154
00:54:30,160 --> 00:54:32,080
Speaker 3: lieu of that, since we got to keep it off.

1155
00:54:32,360 --> 00:54:34,480
Speaker 3: According to Miguel, I'll go with the Jordan eleven, the

1156
00:54:34,520 --> 00:54:37,640
Speaker 3: patent leather ones nice that he wore during the ninety

1157
00:54:37,640 --> 00:54:40,480
Speaker 3: five ninety six season when the Bulls became the best

1158
00:54:40,480 --> 00:54:43,600
Speaker 3: team of all time. Still a very cool shoe to see.

1159
00:54:43,640 --> 00:54:46,399
Speaker 3: And the final one I would have to say is

1160
00:54:46,560 --> 00:54:52,560
Speaker 3: the Nike Kobe five. Okay, debating which Kobe to put on,

1161
00:54:52,640 --> 00:54:56,640
Speaker 3: because he really was instrumental in everybody wearing low top shoes. Now,

1162
00:54:56,719 --> 00:54:59,840
Speaker 3: the four was the first low top for sure, But

1163
00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:02,359
Speaker 3: five I think kind of nailed it, and it's still

1164
00:55:02,360 --> 00:55:04,920
Speaker 3: a very popular shoe to this day. The five and

1165
00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:08,040
Speaker 3: the six actually still amongst the most worn shoes that

1166
00:55:08,120 --> 00:55:11,360
Speaker 3: are out there. And once those came around, people were like,

1167
00:55:11,360 --> 00:55:13,800
Speaker 3: wait a second, we can wear low top shoes to

1168
00:55:13,840 --> 00:55:16,200
Speaker 3: play basketball. So that's it for me.

1169
00:55:16,280 --> 00:55:16,719
Speaker 5: I like it.

1170
00:55:16,920 --> 00:55:19,160
Speaker 1: So yeah, you went eras you went, I mean cultural

1171
00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:21,480
Speaker 1: impacted shirts. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, And that's the way

1172
00:55:21,520 --> 00:55:23,960
Speaker 1: to go about it. I like those are my two favorite.

1173
00:55:23,960 --> 00:55:25,920
Speaker 1: Of course, my favorite Kobies too, five and six. I

1174
00:55:25,920 --> 00:55:28,439
Speaker 1: probably like six a little bit more. But great shoes,

1175
00:55:28,480 --> 00:55:28,960
Speaker 1: great shoes.

1176
00:55:28,960 --> 00:55:29,200
Speaker 2: Okay.

1177
00:55:29,360 --> 00:55:31,960
Speaker 3: Toughest one to leave off was the Chuck Taylor but

1178
00:55:33,080 --> 00:55:36,640
Speaker 3: NBA shoe, not really, though he's in the Hall of Fame.

1179
00:55:37,560 --> 00:55:40,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, Chuck Taylor is in the Hall of Fame, but yeah,

1180
00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:44,319
Speaker 2: was not an NBA player. Okay, Hey, guys, playing an

1181
00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:46,200
Speaker 2: Chuck Taylor was not a problem.

1182
00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:50,239
Speaker 1: No, no, all right, good stuff. That's a fun one

1183
00:55:50,239 --> 00:55:53,680
Speaker 1: for everyone. Let's hear your mount rushmore of basketball shoes,

1184
00:55:54,480 --> 00:55:58,480
Speaker 1: all right. Final one World Cup inspired NBA overtime is

1185
00:55:58,520 --> 00:56:01,920
Speaker 1: outlawed and all Thai games are decided by shootouts. Teams

1186
00:56:01,960 --> 00:56:04,560
Speaker 1: alternate going one on one, with the team who starts

1187
00:56:04,560 --> 00:56:06,520
Speaker 1: in defense being able to pick the player to go

1188
00:56:06,680 --> 00:56:09,680
Speaker 1: up against the team with the ball. Everyone must shoot

1189
00:56:09,719 --> 00:56:14,640
Speaker 1: and defend once good TV or guys bricking shots. That's

1190
00:56:14,640 --> 00:56:17,799
Speaker 1: from at bieber Hole by way of Blue Sky, now

1191
00:56:17,960 --> 00:56:19,920
Speaker 1: at Nuggets or bust. I think on Twitter had a

1192
00:56:19,960 --> 00:56:22,400
Speaker 1: similar idea in light of the World Cup. What if

1193
00:56:22,440 --> 00:56:24,759
Speaker 1: instead of going to multiple overtimes after the first one,

1194
00:56:24,800 --> 00:56:27,360
Speaker 1: the NBA had a shootout. Each starter from each team

1195
00:56:27,360 --> 00:56:30,359
Speaker 1: gets one shot from various locations. Teams have to shoot

1196
00:56:30,400 --> 00:56:32,920
Speaker 1: from the same spot. Players pick their shots. Most points

1197
00:56:32,960 --> 00:56:36,680
Speaker 1: win good or bad. So two different versions here of

1198
00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:41,560
Speaker 1: deciding an overtime game in the NBA, akin to World

1199
00:56:41,600 --> 00:56:43,960
Speaker 1: Cup shootouts. I guess yeah, the NBA version of it

1200
00:56:45,080 --> 00:56:45,560
Speaker 1: your teas.

1201
00:56:46,600 --> 00:56:50,440
Speaker 3: I would prefer the one on one versus the just

1202
00:56:50,480 --> 00:56:53,120
Speaker 3: taking a jumper. Sure, it is definitely the most like

1203
00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:56,880
Speaker 3: penalty kicks. I don't know if you would rig it

1204
00:56:56,920 --> 00:56:58,560
Speaker 3: so that you can have the same guy be the

1205
00:56:58,760 --> 00:57:02,040
Speaker 3: defender the entire time, the way the goalie stays the

1206
00:57:02,080 --> 00:57:03,920
Speaker 3: same but the offensive player changes.

1207
00:57:04,480 --> 00:57:07,240
Speaker 2: Would it be good TV, at least at the beginning.

1208
00:57:07,560 --> 00:57:09,520
Speaker 3: I think it would be. I think it'd be fun

1209
00:57:09,560 --> 00:57:12,759
Speaker 3: to try something like this. People want to see NBA

1210
00:57:12,800 --> 00:57:16,400
Speaker 3: players play one on one. I just watched a guy

1211
00:57:16,480 --> 00:57:19,800
Speaker 3: named Nas play against Archie Goodwin in one of these

1212
00:57:19,960 --> 00:57:21,560
Speaker 3: random one on one games.

1213
00:57:21,560 --> 00:57:24,680
Speaker 2: Okay, on the Archie's killing man, he's an NBA player.

1214
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:27,560
Speaker 2: This other guy's name don't ring no bells, That's what

1215
00:57:27,680 --> 00:57:28,400
Speaker 2: Archie kept saying.

1216
00:57:28,480 --> 00:57:30,800
Speaker 3: Another guy won. He's won like thirty seven straight. One

1217
00:57:30,840 --> 00:57:33,200
Speaker 3: on one is an incredible one. He's just the best

1218
00:57:33,240 --> 00:57:35,440
Speaker 3: one on one player in the world right now.

1219
00:57:35,960 --> 00:57:38,200
Speaker 2: What exactly? I wonder if those guys would get on.

1220
00:57:38,200 --> 00:57:40,560
Speaker 3: Rosters and like they get subbed in the last five

1221
00:57:40,600 --> 00:57:42,560
Speaker 3: seconds of the game because oh we're going to overtime.

1222
00:57:42,560 --> 00:57:44,040
Speaker 3: We got to have our best one on one guy

1223
00:57:44,080 --> 00:57:47,440
Speaker 3: out there. Uh So, yeah, NBA players play on one

1224
00:57:47,480 --> 00:57:49,000
Speaker 3: on one. It would be fun to see and if

1225
00:57:49,000 --> 00:57:51,040
Speaker 3: this has how we do it, sure give it a shot.

1226
00:57:51,160 --> 00:57:53,880
Speaker 1: I like the one on one idea better than nuggets

1227
00:57:53,920 --> 00:57:56,600
Speaker 1: or bus idea more of like a shooting contest, although

1228
00:57:56,640 --> 00:58:00,520
Speaker 1: I like I've said before, I like the shooting contest

1229
00:58:00,560 --> 00:58:04,000
Speaker 1: element for instead of going to replays like who whose

1230
00:58:04,040 --> 00:58:04,480
Speaker 1: ball is this?

1231
00:58:04,520 --> 00:58:06,560
Speaker 2: Who was it out on? Just do it like we

1232
00:58:06,600 --> 00:58:08,080
Speaker 2: do at the gym. Manchoo for it.

1233
00:58:08,600 --> 00:58:11,480
Speaker 1: That'd be fun, as I think, But the overtime one

1234
00:58:11,520 --> 00:58:13,720
Speaker 1: on one and I do like play one overtime and

1235
00:58:13,760 --> 00:58:15,160
Speaker 1: if we can't design in five minutes, then we go

1236
00:58:15,240 --> 00:58:15,440
Speaker 1: to this.

1237
00:58:16,280 --> 00:58:18,520
Speaker 2: Try this at Summer league totally.

1238
00:58:18,440 --> 00:58:21,920
Speaker 1: Right, maybe even the G League, but Summer League, absolutely

1239
00:58:22,120 --> 00:58:25,040
Speaker 1: try this because then it's like, you know, there's a

1240
00:58:25,080 --> 00:58:26,160
Speaker 1: lot of talk of like, oh, it'd be cool I

1241
00:58:26,160 --> 00:58:27,760
Speaker 1: have a one on one tournament and all start weekend.

1242
00:58:27,800 --> 00:58:31,000
Speaker 2: Well, this is like a nice little like test.

1243
00:58:31,160 --> 00:58:33,919
Speaker 1: I guess, like, well, how entertaining is it? Let's see

1244
00:58:33,920 --> 00:58:36,720
Speaker 1: what it's like. So there's something here. They should give

1245
00:58:36,720 --> 00:58:39,439
Speaker 1: this a go at least at Summer League again, maybe

1246
00:58:39,560 --> 00:58:42,000
Speaker 1: G League, but and then maybe obviously bring it into

1247
00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:43,720
Speaker 1: the NBA. Why not'd be fun as all?

1248
00:58:43,960 --> 00:58:44,280

1271
00:59:52,480 --> 00:59:54,600
Speaker 1: I don't think anyone watched it in their pitch. I

1272
00:59:54,680 --> 00:59:55,560
Speaker 1: thought all four were.

1273
00:59:55,560 --> 01:00:01,600
Speaker 5: Solid, compelling, compelling pitches. So including yeah, obviously we.

1274
01:00:01,680 --> 01:00:04,840
Speaker 1: All we all took sort of different approaches how we

1275
01:00:04,960 --> 01:00:08,040
Speaker 1: pitched that podcast or pitch a movie franchise. So we've

1276
01:00:08,200 --> 01:00:11,120
Speaker 1: we've done Fast and Furious, We've done Jurassic Park, Rest

1277

1280
01:00:21,880 --> 01:00:25,200
