1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:08,560 Speaker 1: Dinged, it's our num Bert talking bays ball. How embarrassing 2 00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:12,400 Speaker 1: is it for Mets outfielder Juan Soto to not be 3 00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,120 Speaker 1: named to the All Star roster, not by the fans, 4 00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:18,480 Speaker 1: not by his contemporaries, and not by. 5 00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:20,720 Speaker 2: The league office. Yikes. 6 00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:24,919 Speaker 1: Also, after not speaking originally on the subject, Clayton Kershaw 7 00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:29,560 Speaker 1: says that he's grateful for the quote weird but cool 8 00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:34,640 Speaker 1: All Star selection as a legend pick. Can you parse 9 00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:39,320 Speaker 1: the words of Clayton Kershaw on this All Star selection? 10 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 1: Also the Orlando Magic. That's a basketball team, not a 11 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:48,639 Speaker 1: good one. The Orlando Magic just handed Paolo Boncero a 12 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,480 Speaker 1: five year deal worth up to two hundred and eighty 13 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 1: seven million. How do you categorize that one? We'll get 14 00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:01,320 Speaker 1: to it right now. It's our number two. Not not 15 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 1: the King, silly, not anything but flushing, flush, flush, flush flush. 16 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:13,639 Speaker 1: Wel come in the beginning of another hour for us 17 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 1: the Ben Mahlor Show.

So 33 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 1: our lead this hour is from baseball and we. 34 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,920 Speaker 2: Start out in Queens. The New York. 35 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:28,359 Speaker 1: Metropolitans did not play, did not play on Monday. However, 36 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:34,679 Speaker 1: there was much embarrassment, much embarrassment. One Soto, the fallout. 37 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 1: Everyone talking about this in Baseball. One Soto in his 38 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 1: first season with the New York Mets, the new mister 39 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 1: met signing a fifteen year contract for seven hundred and 40 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 1: sixty five million, bigger than the gross domestic product of 41 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 1: most small countries as a. 42 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,640 Speaker 2: Free agent, and he was. 43 00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:01,640 Speaker 1: Not selected to Baseball's All Star roster. If you didn't 44 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 1: see this. 45 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 2: Maybe not. 46 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 1: So the fallout on this has been pretty extreme. One 47 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 1: Sodo snubbed by the fame, the fan said ixnay on 48 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:16,399 Speaker 1: the Soto a and also by the people in baseball. 49 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 1: They didn't want one Sodo to be in the All 50 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 1: Star Game. Now there's always a possible, a possibility, there's 51 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: always a possibility that Juan Soto will be added. Players 52 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,639 Speaker 1: get hurt they don't appear in the All Star Game. 53 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 1: So there will be some changes, but it doesn't matter. 54 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 1: We do the show today, and so right now, as 55 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: we're doing the show, one Soto is not on the 56 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 1: National League All Star roster. So let us discuss the 57 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 1: question how embarrassing, how embarrassing is it that the Mets 58 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 1: outfielder Juan Soto is not and not part of the 59 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 1: All Star Game, not named to the All Star roster. 60 00:03:56,200 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 1: So I've got ballot, box, letterman, jacket, and FaceTime and 61 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 1: we will combine all of these things together and we 62 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 1: are going to put the biscuit in the basket. 63 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 2: Is what we're going to do. 64 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 1: So A number one, this is an emasculation situation, is 65 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 1: what it is. It is a lemon merangue pie a 66 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 1: delicious lemon merangue pie right to the face, right to 67 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,839 Speaker 1: the schnaz here. So let's cut through all the noise, 68 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 1: all the nonsense like cacophony of noise. There one soda 69 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:35,160 Speaker 1: is not winning the mister popular vote, not winning any 70 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 1: award here. 71 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:37,480 Speaker 2: And that's the real reason. 72 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:42,480 Speaker 1: That's the real reason that he's on the outside looking in. 73 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,839 Speaker 1: And the All Star Game, the All Star break starts 74 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 1: on Sunday night after the games were played on Sunday, 75 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 1: and the All Star Game in Georgia. 76 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 2: So this is not about the stats. 77 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 1: Now, we did some early April monologues about the performance 78 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,599 Speaker 1: of Wance not being up to the standard. It was 79 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 1: not at that time. Soto's numbers of late douce scream 80 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 1: all Star. He has had a late surge. If you 81 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 1: get a little tingle when somebody gets a walk one, 82 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 1: Soto's your player. He is third, we are told, if 83 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 1: you look at the Nerd numbers, he's third among all 84 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:25,559 Speaker 1: NL outfielders. In ops, he's tied. I believe he's tied 85 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 1: for fourth. 86 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:28,599 Speaker 2: In terms of home runs. 87 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,280 Speaker 1: And he was the player of the month, if I'm 88 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 1: not mistaken, in the month of June. 89 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 2: So those are all good things. Those are all those 90 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:37,600 Speaker 2: are all good things. 91 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 1: He has been a one man on base machine for 92 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,839 Speaker 1: the Metropolitan drawing rot walks. You get a walk, you 93 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 1: get a walk, You get a walk, kind of like 94 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 1: a rotten fish draws flies a lot, a lot of walks. Now, 95 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:56,159 Speaker 1: regardless of that, Baseball's All Star Game is not just 96 00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:00,679 Speaker 1: a pure stat based situation. Is a referendum on where 97 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 1: you fall in the cosmos of baseball at this time. 98 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 1: It is a popularity contest. Every man, woman and child 99 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 1: knows this. And it's supposely it's a meritocracy, but it's not. 100 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:18,279 Speaker 1: It's a popularity contest. And the word in ballparks from 101 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:22,720 Speaker 1: Boston to Seattle and from Miami to San Francisco, the 102 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 1: word is Juan Soto has rubbed enough people, enough people 103 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 1: the wrong way where he has not been added to 104 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 1: the guest list, not invited, and the players, remember the 105 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 1: players vote for the reserves. It's like one thing for 106 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 1: the fans to say, oh, we don't like this guy, 107 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 1: so we're going to stick it to Jan Soda. 108 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:45,160 Speaker 2: That's one thing. 109 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 1: And people vote on their computers, you know, ten fifteen 110 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:52,919 Speaker 1: times a day, whatever it is, but the backups not 111 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 1: the starters not to start. The reserves are named by 112 00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 1: the players, and they did not circle or click the 113 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 1: button on Jan Soda. Neither did the Commissioner's office. They 114 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,479 Speaker 1: didn't do it. They didn't do it. They get to 115 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 1: pick the final six All Stars. I believe that's how 116 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 1: that works. And so you would think that for Major 117 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 1: League Baseball. The league headquarters are in Midtown Manhattan. There's 118 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 1: a lot of met fans that work for Major League 119 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 1: Baseball in the league office. You would think a seven 120 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 1: hundred and sixty five million dollar player would at. 121 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 2: Least get an invite. 122 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 1: Didn't happen. That's not an accident. It's not Major League 123 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 1: Baseball's players, the fans, and the league office all went 124 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 1: into the ballot box and they issued a vote of 125 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 1: no confidence. 126 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 2: For Juan Soto. Yeah they did. 127 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 1: But maybe I'll check. He's going to be there for 128 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 1: a long time with the Mets. But right now, Juan 129 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: Soto is covered in the cooties. Juan Soto has the cooties. 130 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 1: It's just the way it is. The Komodo dragon in 131 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 1: the room, we will address it. Is the demand of 132 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 1: Wan Soda clearly has rubbed people the wrong way here 133 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 1: oozing with swagger, but the swagger turned out to be 134 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 1: the dagger in many respects. Here he has not won 135 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 1: the hearts, minds, and voters. The Soto shuffle as it 136 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 1: is known, and pretty much after every pitch, every pitch 137 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 1: that he doesn't swing at. By the way, if you 138 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 1: watch the Mets, and you watch them with the Yankees 139 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 1: or the Podres or whoever, so he does a little dance, 140 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 1: it's kind. 141 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 2: Of like giving the bird. The bird is the word. 142 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 2: The bird is the word. 143 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 1: He gives the bird to the pitcher, the umpire and 144 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 1: anyone else who thinks he should actually wait until he 145 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 1: does something before he does a little shuffle. 146 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 2: And all that. 147 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 1: And so clearly there are enough people in baseball that 148 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 1: don't like it. 149 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:47,960 Speaker 2: He said, well, it's just baseball. They're all buttoned up. 150 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 1: There's enough people that grumble when Sodo does this that 151 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:55,319 Speaker 1: he's show voting one soo. And also the teammates, some 152 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 1: of them, now they won't say it on the record 153 00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,959 Speaker 1: because that's taboo, but they clearly are rolling their eye. 154 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 1: Is Juan Sotos act there And when the cameras are 155 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,960 Speaker 1: not paying attention behind closed doors, they're whispering and they're 156 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:10,720 Speaker 1: not whispering sweet nothings. And it's all burn dogging the 157 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,680 Speaker 1: seven hundred and sixty five million dollar man. Of course, 158 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 1: after taxes New York taxes, that's about twenty million, about 159 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 1: twenty million. Anyway, listen, it's it's all bird dogging Juan 160 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 1: Sodo around the Big Lease. Remember in Washington, Remember when 161 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 1: he came on the scene, the hot shot prodigy of baseball. 162 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:34,200 Speaker 1: He had that natitude in DC and he was the 163 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 1: golden child of Major League Baseball. Oh my god, but 164 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,559 Speaker 1: they were whispering even then. You know, he's gonna he's 165 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,439 Speaker 1: gonna have to grow up. It's more about Wan than 166 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,679 Speaker 1: the team. It's all about Wan. Then he went out 167 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 1: to San Diego, ate some fish tacos with the Padres, 168 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:51,840 Speaker 1: tried to stay away from Poppy when he was in 169 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 1: San Diego, went down a beautiful San Diego, America's finest city. 170 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 1: They used to put it on the police cars went there, 171 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:05,960 Speaker 1: and Padre players did not did not exactly open open 172 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 1: the door with you know, get him a hug, with warm, warm, 173 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,840 Speaker 1: loving vibrations there, did not throw him a parade. Then 174 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:17,679 Speaker 1: he went to the Bronx and even Aaron Judge the 175 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 1: judge Tonian Aaron Judge, mister nice guy. Everyone loves him. Oh, 176 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,959 Speaker 1: you can't say anything bad about Aaron Judge. They didn't. 177 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,960 Speaker 1: Didn't seem like he was too bummed out when Juan 178 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:34,840 Speaker 1: Soto skidaddled across from his burrow to the next borough over. 179 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 1: Didn't seem too upset by that. And so Soto, who 180 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 1: often plays like he's auditioning for a statue, let me 181 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 1: strike a pose. I'm gonna strike a pose. There clearly 182 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 1: not winning over baseball, at least today. We do the 183 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 1: show today and as of today that is not the case. 184 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:55,440 Speaker 1: Thus he is not an all start again. He might 185 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 1: be added, you know, tomorrow, the next day, whenever. It 186 00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:02,680 Speaker 1: doesn't matter right now, not the initial wave. It's like 187 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 1: when they used to play the Pro Bowl, before the 188 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 1: players in the NFL became pansies and they stopped playing 189 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl, and now they do like tic tac toe. 190 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,520 Speaker 2: But back when they did the Pro Bowl, there. 191 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,960 Speaker 1: Would always be ten guys on each team that skipped 192 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 1: out on the Pro Bowl, and so other people would 193 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,679 Speaker 1: be added, and it got so ridiculous. I think one 194 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:24,199 Speaker 1: year Vince Young, who sucked, made. 195 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 2: The Pro Bowl. 196 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,440 Speaker 1: He was a Pro Bowl quarterback, which really must have 197 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 1: upset him because I don't think there was a cheesecake 198 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 1: factory right next to a Loja stadium. They might not 199 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 1: be even one in o' Wahu, which must have been 200 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 1: upsetting anyway. Now turning the page, we go to La 201 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 1: La Land. Why actually in Milwaukee where the brew crew 202 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 1: shoved the meatball down the throat of the Dodgers. But 203 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 1: that's not the story here. A random baseball game in 204 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 1: July not to story the story here. After not speaking 205 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 1: to reporters on Sunday when the news came out, Clayton 206 00:11:55,960 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 1: Kershaw did break his silence. The day after, Clayton Kershaw 207 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 1: said that he is quote grateful. He said, it's weird 208 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 1: but cool, weird but cool that he was named an 209 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 1: All Star selection on a Legends pick by rob Manfreud, 210 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 1: a Legends pick for Clayton Kershaw. So can you parse 211 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 1: the words? Here's the question. Can you parse the words 212 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:28,200 Speaker 1: of Clayton Kershaw on this All Star selection, the Legend pick? 213 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:31,080 Speaker 2: So this is not that deep. 214 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:34,320 Speaker 1: Kershaw admitted that he does not deserve to be at 215 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 1: the All Star Game, as we anticipated the vibe. 216 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 2: I got he doesn't want to go. 217 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 1: Now, he's not gonna come out and be a total schmuck, 218 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 1: and he'll show up, but he'd rather not go. And 219 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 1: he's right, he doesn't belong in the All Star Game, 220 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 1: and he's gonna go and he's gonna put on a 221 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 1: happy face and all that. But major League Baseball, and 222 00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,080 Speaker 1: they added this a few years ago, they haven't done 223 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 1: it in a couple of years. Is the Legends addition 224 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,679 Speaker 1: to the All Star Game. But major League Baseball turning 225 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 1: it into your aunt's Facebook page, right, a lot of nostalgia, 226 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 1: a lot of participation, trophy congratulations, and you're pretending it's 227 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 1: ten years ago if you're Clayton Kershaw and all that stuff. 228 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 1: But if you gave him truth serum, if you injected 229 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 1: Kershaw with a needle full of truth serum, he would 230 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 1: rather be on a beach somewhere or back in his 231 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 1: home in Texas with his kids, then standing on the 232 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:36,560 Speaker 1: foul line in Atlanta and tipping his cap and you know, 233 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 1: like he's some kind of figurine from Cooperstown or something 234 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 1: like that. 235 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,319 Speaker 2: So he'd much rather be on vacation. 236 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 1: And he's gonna go, and he'll be there at the 237 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:50,320 Speaker 1: All Star game he would rather not, And Kershaw it 238 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,680 Speaker 1: is odd because him dropping into the All Star Game 239 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 1: based on his body work, which he admits he's only 240 00:13:56,360 --> 00:14:00,200 Speaker 1: made nine starts. It's like a guy showing up to 241 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 1: a wedding that they were not invited to. 242 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 2: Just like wedding crashers. 243 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:06,720 Speaker 1: You show up at the wedding and it's like, well, 244 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:08,440 Speaker 1: I probably shouldn't be here, but. 245 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,079 Speaker 2: There's an open bar. Baby, here I am. 246 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 1: Now at the end of the day, he said, it's weird, 247 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,079 Speaker 1: Kershaw said, but it's cool, so I'm just going to 248 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:16,679 Speaker 1: enjoy it. 249 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 2: No, he's not, Kershaw said. 250 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 1: He says, you know what else, there's another partist Like 251 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 1: he said weird and cool and all that stuff, and 252 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 1: he talked about some other random things. 253 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 2: But it's like a forty year old. 254 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 1: Dude at the high school reunion wearing the letterman's jacket 255 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 1: that shows up there and he's like, hey, you know, 256 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 1: I am ordering my high school self. Here I am, 257 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 1: And Kershaw knows he's undeserving of this. He is, and 258 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 1: you know, you don't expect him to get into the 259 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 1: All Star Game. So he's not gonna play. He's just 260 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 1: gonna go there. He shows up to Atlanta. He checks 261 00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 1: into the Five Star hotel as a smile for the 262 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 1: camp Mraz. 263 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,080 Speaker 2: He waves, he tips his cap. 264 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,960 Speaker 1: Maybe he'll go on microphone on the All Star broadcast 265 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,480 Speaker 1: and all that stuff. At that point, if you're not 266 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,080 Speaker 1: playing in the All Star Game and you're just there 267 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:11,440 Speaker 1: to tip the cap and to wave with the. 268 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,360 Speaker 2: Crowd, are you or are you not? A mascot? Is 269 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 2: Clayton Kurdashaw? 270 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 1: Not like the Philly fanatic or Wally the Green Monster 271 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 1: or mister med or Bernie Brewer. That's what he is. 272 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:24,280 Speaker 1: If he shows up to the All Name not gonna 273 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 1: play legends. Pick there you go? All right, final point? 274 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 1: We quickly we go to Orlando, Big NBA signing, Big 275 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 1: NBA signing. The Orlando Magic have handed paul O Boncherro, 276 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 1: great name, great name. He has received a five year 277 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 1: max extension worth up to. 278 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 2: Up to two hundred eighty seven million. 279 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:51,680 Speaker 1: So how do you categorize a player that is not 280 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 1: a household name getting a two hundred eighty seven million 281 00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:00,160 Speaker 1: dollar contract. So this is obviously not monopoly money. It 282 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 1: is not Powerball, it's not Mega millions. It is I 283 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:08,960 Speaker 1: call it FaceTime. It is face of the franchise money. 284 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:15,480 Speaker 1: Not that he is mister relevant in NBA circles. 285 00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 2: He's not. But that's the kind of money. 286 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 1: That's the kind of contract that you get that you 287 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,239 Speaker 1: have to carry the franchise. 288 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 2: You are the face of the franchise. 289 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 1: You have to sell out the box office, you have 290 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 1: to sell out the gymnasium on a random Tuesday night 291 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,920 Speaker 1: in December when the Charlotte Hornets come to town and 292 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 1: no one cares. You have to sell the arena out. 293 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 1: Now is he that guy? Right now? You're not that guy, Pal, 294 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:50,400 Speaker 1: You're not that guy. And the Orlando Sad Sack, Orlando Magic, 295 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,360 Speaker 1: who've had a few runs of relevancy in my lifetime, 296 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:58,560 Speaker 1: but few and far between, and certainly don't move the dial. 297 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,400 Speaker 1: They don't move the need when it comes to the 298 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 1: Eastern Conference here. But that's the kind of a deal. 299 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,120 Speaker 1: You think that guy is going to be a top 300 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,959 Speaker 1: ten player in the NBA, That Paulo Banchero is going 301 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,720 Speaker 1: to be a top ten player, and he's going to 302 00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,200 Speaker 1: make all NBA teams, who cares about all Star games? 303 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,520 Speaker 1: All NBA teams. That's going to be where he's at. 304 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:17,800 Speaker 1: And the ugly truth is, right now, again, we do 305 00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 1: the show right now. He is not box office. 306 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 2: He's not. 307 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 1: No one's going out to watch him like they watch 308 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,879 Speaker 1: Steph Curry with the Moneyball or even Luca with the 309 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:28,440 Speaker 1: eurostep the razzle dazzle. 310 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:29,920 Speaker 2: That's not happening. 311 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:34,200 Speaker 1: So the Magic, though, they're betting almost three hundred million. 312 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 1: That's up to two hundred and eighty seven and so 313 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 1: almost three hundred million, that he will be there, that 314 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:44,680 Speaker 1: he will matriculate the basketball down the court with such gusto, 315 00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,680 Speaker 1: that he will have a metamorphosis and be the kind 316 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 1: of a player that in BC, because they've got the 317 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,879 Speaker 1: new TV rights, NBC and the ESPN and all. 318 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:59,120 Speaker 2: Them will circle the Orlando Magic and. 319 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,000 Speaker 1: They'll be like, all right, we have to go there, 320 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:02,879 Speaker 1: and we have to show them, and we will not 321 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:07,600 Speaker 1: skip Orlando like it's a it's a stopover in Fargo. 322 00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:10,480 Speaker 2: I don't even know if you can stop over in Fargo. 323 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 2: I think you can't. 324 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 1: But this is a franchise, the Orlando Magic, that has 325 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 1: been wandering aimlessly like gypsies through the desert there since 326 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,920 Speaker 1: Dwight Howard said I'm out of here, and he took 327 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:28,600 Speaker 1: his cape and left with a frown I'm gone. 328 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 3: That's it. 329 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:32,200 Speaker 1: I'm gonna do some dancing reality show in La and 330 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:35,400 Speaker 1: all that stuff.

Now, listen, 534 00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:47,000 Speaker 5: we started off talking about the deal that went down 535 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,960 Speaker 5: with Miami Heat and the Clippers. I think this is 536 00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:54,040 Speaker 5: a value deal. Norman Palell, fringe All Star Star for 537 00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:57,480 Speaker 5: the l A Clippers, getting his opportunity in Miami. We 538 00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:00,160 Speaker 5: know that pat Riley loves these guys, right, hard work 539 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,480 Speaker 5: just there on the cusp. I think that he will 540 00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:05,920 Speaker 5: shine out there, Collins athletic player. You know, he's moved 541 00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:09,120 Speaker 5: on to get a better opportunity. But Ben, it's looking 542 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:12,680 Speaker 5: like the Phoenix Suns might have their window to come 543 00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:16,800 Speaker 5: up off of this Bradley Bial situation that they're looking at, right, 544 00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:20,840 Speaker 5: because Bradley Beal holding anchor on the franchise, just sitting 545 00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:22,920 Speaker 5: there with his no trade clause because he's like an 546 00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:24,240 Speaker 5: all time great, isn't that right, Ben? 547 00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:25,080 Speaker 3: Right? 548 00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:27,200 Speaker 5: Lebron James has a no trade clause, and then the 549 00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,360 Speaker 5: next all time player in the NBA with the no 550 00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:32,640 Speaker 5: trade clause is oh yeah, Bradley, Yes. 551 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:35,640 Speaker 1: Bradley the Great Bradley bal who I love. I love 552 00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:37,840 Speaker 1: how NBA math works. Did you see this? 553 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:38,240 Speaker 3: Andre? 554 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:40,280 Speaker 2: So the math I read this earlier. 555 00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:42,560 Speaker 1: I was like, this can't be right, Like all these 556 00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:45,080 Speaker 1: salary caps are bullcrap. So Bradley Beal got all this 557 00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:49,400 Speaker 1: guaranteed money, and if he gives back fourteen million dollars, 558 00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:51,920 Speaker 1: which he's apparently agreed to do to the Suns, that 559 00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:54,160 Speaker 1: means that would save the Suns. 560 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,240 Speaker 2: Two hundred and thirty million. 561 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:59,840 Speaker 1: Dollars by him giving back fourteen million. Now that is 562 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:01,960 Speaker 1: that's some fuzzy math is what that is. 563 00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:05,240 Speaker 5: Indeed, indeed, the second apron, Ben, I don't think we 564 00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:07,960 Speaker 5: needed a second apron that's over here having these owners. 565 00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:09,600 Speaker 1: Yet I don't even need an ape. I cook all 566 00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:12,160 Speaker 1: the time. I don't even need an apron. I am 567 00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,520 Speaker 1: a rebel in the kitchen. I don't even use an 568 00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:15,640 Speaker 1: apron most of the time. 569 00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:18,040 Speaker 5: You do the pizza, pie muffins. 570 00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:19,040 Speaker 2: I do. I do the cookies. 571 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:20,760 Speaker 1: I haven't made cookies in a while because I'm trying 572 00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:22,920 Speaker 1: to not you know, gain weight again and all that stuff. 573 00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:26,920 Speaker 1: So but I do like the pizza and the cheese steak, 574 00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,440 Speaker 1: the New York beef sandwich. 575 00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:30,240 Speaker 2: I make that a lot. 576 00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:33,280 Speaker 5: So it's all good, excellent, excellent, excellent. And I think 577 00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:35,600 Speaker 5: this is how the people again in Phoenix and also 578 00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:39,000 Speaker 5: the clipper Land, they're salivating, you know, because Clippers first 579 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,680 Speaker 5: of all first rate organization, and they do a lot 580 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:45,160 Speaker 5: of reclamation projects. People that have issues touch and go 581 00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:47,480 Speaker 5: here and there. They come up under ty Low's leadership, 582 00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,320 Speaker 5: Lawrence Frank in the front office, Daddy Warbucks running the 583 00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:52,480 Speaker 5: whole show, and they find their stright. So this was 584 00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:54,840 Speaker 5: the case with James Harden. He's found a home. He's 585 00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:56,680 Speaker 5: a good citizen, even though he shouldn't have been an 586 00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:59,280 Speaker 5: All Star, should have went to Zubac or Norman Powell. 587 00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:01,520 Speaker 5: I think it's a good landing place for Bradley Beal 588 00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:03,560 Speaker 5: trying to find himself again. He's going to get on. 589 00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:06,800 Speaker 1: So you're already jumping at you. You're already moving past 590 00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:11,720 Speaker 1: the John Collins move and a nineteen eight rebound guy, 591 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:15,640 Speaker 1: and now you've already advanced. You're I'm saving my thoughts 592 00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,040 Speaker 1: on Bradley Beal until he agrees to the contract, and 593 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:21,400 Speaker 1: then I will have a full Malla monologue about Bradley Beal. 594 00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:22,840 Speaker 2: But you're already locking him in. 595 00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:24,840 Speaker 1: I know there are reports in the overnight that he's 596 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:26,880 Speaker 1: head to the Clippers, that the reason they did the 597 00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:28,960 Speaker 1: John Collins deal was to get Bradley Beal. 598 00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,000 Speaker 2: So we'll see if that's announced later today. 599 00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,600 Speaker 5: Wonderful. You know, John Collin's good player, athlete. He's going 600 00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:36,160 Speaker 5: to go out there and get you a lot of 601 00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:38,640 Speaker 5: energy points and you know he'll he'll help a team, 602 00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:40,760 Speaker 5: you know. But I think, really what this is setting up, 603 00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:43,840 Speaker 5: I think the prize is for both teams. Bradley Beal, 604 00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,240 Speaker 5: who John's good playing Bradley Beal. 605 00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:47,640 Speaker 2: Well, I don't want to say pride. 606 00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:50,160 Speaker 1: I mean Bradley Beal is a diminished asset at this 607 00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:51,800 Speaker 1: point we can we agree. 608 00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:55,920 Speaker 2: On that is. Listen, he did not did not live. 609 00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:59,959 Speaker 1: Up to the anticipated abilities that he showed with Washington. 610 00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:04,040 Speaker 1: Uh in Arizona, he was a bust. He went belly 611 00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:04,920 Speaker 1: off with the Suns. 612 00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:09,000 Speaker 5: So indeed, but Ben, But all I'm saying is, once 613 00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:12,280 Speaker 5: you find James Harden in the same the Clippers just 614 00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:14,080 Speaker 5: do a really good job taking folks that are on 615 00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:16,800 Speaker 5: the slippery slope, getting them back on some solid ground, 616 00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:20,240 Speaker 5: and then playing winning basketball. You know, they're always the 617 00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:22,720 Speaker 5: Clippers are essentially the Miami Heat of the Western Conference. 618 00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,360 Speaker 5: Right they don't believe in tanking. They're not a championship team, 619 00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:27,320 Speaker 5: but they're going to be a tough out for these 620 00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:30,520 Speaker 5: championship level teams, you know, and they you know, they 621 00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:32,520 Speaker 5: do it the right way, is what I'm saying. That's 622 00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:35,960 Speaker 5: why it's just nice because the Phoenix Suns, who I 623 00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,880 Speaker 5: think are a borderline dumpster fire, now this gives them 624 00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:41,480 Speaker 5: the opportunity to kind of start to rebuild. Even though 625 00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:44,200 Speaker 5: my issue was all billions of dollars running through head coaches. 626 00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:46,040 Speaker 5: He set them back good. 627 00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:48,760 Speaker 2: I don't hear Willis. I don't know where Willis is, 628 00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:52,200 Speaker 2: but I will over here. I w was you know 629 00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:57,360 Speaker 2: was he was? 630 00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:57,920 Speaker 5: He was wrestling. 631 00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:00,640 Speaker 2: We're going to to go for the world at dad. 632 00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:02,800 Speaker 2: Willis some exercise rain. 633 00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,840 Speaker 5: I apologize, bro Brain's back and welcome back, and I 634 00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:08,560 Speaker 5: will alsill have some commentary. Next question. 635 00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:11,560 Speaker 1: All right, oh, it's all right, there's a andre from 636 00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:12,800 Speaker 1: the Commonwealth. 637 00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:16,560 Speaker 2: So Tom Brady, Tommrady. 638 00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:20,480 Speaker 1: He recently said that at one point when he was 639 00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:24,880 Speaker 1: twenty seven years old with the Patriots, tom Brady said 640 00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:27,800 Speaker 1: he came this close to retiring at age twenty seven. 641 00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:31,360 Speaker 1: Now after the age of twenty seven, so up until 642 00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:35,920 Speaker 1: that point, Tom Brady had made nineteen point six million dollars. 643 00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:39,080 Speaker 1: It's a lot of money. He would go on to 644 00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:46,760 Speaker 1: make another three hundred and thirteen million after the age 645 00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:49,280 Speaker 1: of twenty seven, and he won four more Super Bowls 646 00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:52,320 Speaker 1: after that that. He claims he came real close to 647 00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:54,400 Speaker 1: retiring at age twenty seven, is going to walk away 648 00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:57,280 Speaker 1: from the NFL. And on top of that, he would 649 00:33:57,320 --> 00:34:00,320 Speaker 1: not have gotten that massive TV deal with five for 650 00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:01,360 Speaker 1: the same amount of money. 651 00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:05,040 Speaker 2: So that's another one hundred million dollars or more than that, 652 00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:07,760 Speaker 2: so he's uh wor I five hundred million or something 653 00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:08,279 Speaker 2: like that. Man. 654 00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:09,919 Speaker 3: Wow. 655 00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:12,960 Speaker 1: Anyway, it is the Ben Malors Showtime now for the 656 00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:15,560 Speaker 1: Insta trivia.

How much does that hurt Jane 720 00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:45,839 Speaker 6: and Daniels. 721 00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:50,360 Speaker 1: Well, Mclaurin's really good, And I guess the way I 722 00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:52,959 Speaker 1: all answered is it depends on whether Deebo Samuel's fat 723 00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:55,319 Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel or if he's in shape. Because if Deebo 724 00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:57,879 Speaker 1: Samuel plays like he did briefly for the forty nine ers, 725 00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:00,960 Speaker 1: the Washington whatever they're called, will be fun. If not, 726 00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:05,200 Speaker 1: they're screwed. And it is the quarterback that makes the receiver. 727 00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:08,240 Speaker 1: So Washington should figure things out, not the other way around. 728 00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:10,879 Speaker 6: Next, Chase Claypool seemed like he was on the path 729 00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:13,000 Speaker 6: to becoming a star receiver and then totally fell off 730 00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:15,440 Speaker 6: the map. Now he is taking the social media to 731 00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:17,480 Speaker 6: declare that he's completely healthy and ready to have the 732 00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:20,120 Speaker 6: best year of his career. Yes, but you think Claypool 733 00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:21,440 Speaker 6: can revive his career? 734 00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:26,319 Speaker 1: Maybe on TikTok. Possibly He's a guy he was like 735 00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:29,000 Speaker 1: the DeAndre Ayden of the NFL coop. He's just like 736 00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:32,440 Speaker 1: it wasn't somebody that hustled, kind of lazy cut corners, 737 00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:34,840 Speaker 1: and he had the talent to be a good player, 738 00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:36,400 Speaker 1: but he just didn't put the work in. And so 739 00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:39,280 Speaker 1: it's not whether he's healthy or not. He just doesn't 740 00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:41,640 Speaker 1: give a crap when he's on the field. That's why 741 00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:42,480 Speaker 1: he didn't make it. 742 00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:45,279 Speaker 6: Next, the NBA Summer League is debuting what they're calling 743 00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:47,840 Speaker 6: the heave Rule, where a last second shot at the 744 00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:51,160 Speaker 6: end of quarter doesn't count against a player's percentage. 745 00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:52,840 Speaker 2: Ben you think this is going to be coming to 746 00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:55,239 Speaker 2: the NBA. Yes, And the reason it's going to come 747 00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:55,680 Speaker 2: to the NBA. 748 00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:57,920 Speaker 1: The NBA is upset that players won't shoot at the 749 00:38:58,000 --> 00:38:59,640 Speaker 1: end of quarters because they don't want their stats to 750 00:38:59,640 --> 00:38:59,960 Speaker 1: be heard. 751 00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:03,799 Speaker 2: There's so good about their stats. One the losers, all right, 752 00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:09,640 Speaker 2: I one, alright, I unbelieving I always shoot at the 753 00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:10,400 Speaker 2: end of hight
