1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:05,080
Speaker 1: You don't listen sports. That's right, Martin Wise.

2
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:07,440

00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:21,479
Speaker 1: feeling too that on this fine Saturday.

9
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:24,319
Speaker 2: I feel outstanding today, man, I feel good.

10
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:24,800
Speaker 1: I really did.

11
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 3: I had a really RESTful but busy week with my

12
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 3: kids and stuff. But I have a lot of energy,

13
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 3: and I mean, what's better than this? NBA playoffs? NHL

14
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,879
Speaker 3: playoffs kickoff Monday. Major League Baseball has gotten through the

15
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 3: first you know, two weeks and flowing now.

16
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 4: Man.

17
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 3: Golf is popping right now. Great weather here in La,

18
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 3: no more rain. I feel great, man.

19
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:44,279
Speaker 1: How about you? How was your week? I feel good?

20
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: But I have a question for you. Do you feel

21
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 1: like VJ? Yes?

22
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 2: All right, good cause I was worried. As long as

23
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 2: you feel like VJ, we can start the show. Because

24
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 2: apparently if you don't feel like yourself.

25
00:00:58,400 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: Now, I'm good.

26
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 2: I'm you guys, Pizza, you Minnesota, you know, because if

27
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 2: you don't feel like yourself, you know, so you might

28
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,040
Speaker 2: just you know, come in pregame and leave.

29
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: Now quickly.

30
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:15,680
Speaker 2: What happened today, Boston throttled Atlanta. It was disgusting that

31
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 2: that thing is going to be over and five if

32
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 2: if Atlanta is able to pull a game out.

33
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: We saw Philly, same story with Brooklyn, they throttled. But

34
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: the real story of all of this is.

35
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 2: Zion Williamson may not have felt like Zion, as he

36
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 2: said on his own Way and VJ last week.

37
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 1: When we were discussing this, you were like, kind of

38
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: where is he? Why isn't he playing?

39
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 2: The team had not cleared him for five on five yet,

40
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 2: although it seemed as if he wanted to go one

41
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 2: on none pregame and dunk on and just do all

42
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 2: the pregame dunks and so on and so forth, which

43
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 2: begs the question why hasn't the team cleared him?

44
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: All in all, none of this is a good look.

45
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 2: And my overall take is, again, well I said last week,

46
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 2: we're here, we're a bus category now and this is

47
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 2: the second time in a row that the New Orleans

48
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 2: Pelicans have pretty much bungled the number one overall pick.

49
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: And it's just one of those.

50
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 2: As a guy from New Orleans who grew up watching

51
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 2: the New Orleans Hornets who then morphed into the New

52
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 2: Orleans Pelicans, that's your home. Drives me nuts because all everybody,

53
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:15,799
Speaker 2: all anybody says is.

54
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: Move the team South, the team whell.

55
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 2: Why is it the NBA back in Seattle. Well, you know,

56
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 2: as the Pelicans showed you last year in the play

57
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 2: in tournament and in the first round, and as Oklahoma

58
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 2: City has shown throughout its pretty much its existence. Put

59
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 2: a good team there and you'll get support. Put a

60
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 2: good team there and it'll be rocking, especially when you're

61
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 2: in the town. We only got one or two shows

62
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 2: in town, like New Orleans or Oklahoma City for that matter.

63
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 2: Now it's just it's no hockey, there's no baseball. It's football.

64
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 2: But baby, it's it's April.

65
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: We ain't talk about football right now, not until the draft.

66
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 2: Right So the thing that it drives me nuts to

67
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 2: see the Pelicans blow because here's the thing you could

68
00:02:59,600 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 2: say all.

69
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: You one about he should be out there, he should

70
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: be this, he should be that.

71
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 2: Well, he's the same size he was now just about

72
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 2: when he was when you drafted him. Big fellas don't

73
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 2: get smaller in general. And you you eighteen, nineteen twenty

74
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 2: years old, you might have grown just about as much.

75
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 2: You're gonna grow vertically, you know what I'm saying. I'm

76
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 2: not We're not expecting Scoot Henderson to hit a six

77
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 2: inch growth spurt after he gets drafted.

78
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 3: One of Anthony Davis High School growth spurts from six

79
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 3: to two to six to the.

80
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 2: Point, to the point it happened when your boy's still

81
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 2: taking the sat Yeah, okay, it's not happening in post

82
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 2: draft chat. Holmgren is not going to grow. He might grow,

83
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 2: he might get put on some weight, but he's not

84
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 2: going to grow very much in the same way as

85
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 2: I Am gonna be six four for the rest of

86
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 2: his life. Yeah, and he was gonna be big regardless.

87
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: So everybody want to come out he needs to do that.

88
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: He needs to do that. Well, my thing is, nobody

89
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: made you pick him New Orleans. You had the.

90
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 2: Number one overall pick. You could have had any one.

91
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 2: You could have had RJ. Barrett, who's in his playoffs

92
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 2: for this time in his career. Because that John Murran,

93
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 2: we'll see him in a little bit in the playoffs

94
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 2: for the third time in his career. Dione's team been

95
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 2: in the playoffs twice, our playoffs and play in he's

96
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 2: yet to log a playoff minute. And my last thing

97
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 2: on this, miss me with the Joe Ellenbiid, All right,

98
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 2: Joe el Embiid, I heard miss me with that. That

99
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 2: is I mean, I mean, you want to talk about

100
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 2: two different sides of the coin, Like there was organizational

101
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 2: mandates for Embeid to sit right and and then he

102
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 2: came out then play twenty nine games, got hurt this

103
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 2: season four he's available there and from that point on,

104
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 2: he's had freak injuries in the playoffs, like he breaks

105
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 2: his orbital bone. Like what we what you know what

106
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,799
Speaker 2: I'm saying like like that type of stuff is that's.

107
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: Not necessarily what you woul could saw call injury prone.

108
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 2: But whether or not is he been lazy, whether or

109
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 2: not he's working all working his tail off and can't

110
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,919
Speaker 2: get back to me. New Orleans blew it. That's my

111
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 2: take away. New Orleans blew it because you got to

112
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 2: he got all pro guy right behind him, Tom Moranda

113
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 2: is all pro. He's all pro. The only question was

114
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 2: whether or not he is all pro or not? Is

115
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 2: are they going to suspend him long enough with his

116
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 2: gun situation? Not about his play, not about his availability

117
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 2: with healthy.

118
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: It's all about what he's doing in Denver in a

119
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:19,239
Speaker 1: strip club.

120
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 2: That's the only hell Zion could have been in a

121
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 2: strip club in Devil last three months.

122
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 1: We would have no idea exactly. Well, I'll go a

123
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: few different ways with this.

124
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 3: One of my favorite people to talk sports with is

125
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 3: my baby brother, Terrence, and I know he's listening a

126
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 3: lot right now. We just talked about this the other

127
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 3: night and I explained to him that STEP's kind of

128
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 3: my last guy left I've morphed into on the promoter

129
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 3: professional side. Like Rob always says, right, I'm not a fan.

130
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 3: I'm a journalist. I'm not a fan. It's one of

131
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 3: his favorite lines. I'm not a fan, even though we

132
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 3: all know he loves Jordan, but everybody loves Jordan. And

133
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 3: he asks me, he goes, there's not a guy you

134
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 3: like right now? That's like your next young guy, your

135
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 3: next young dude. I know there's not, but you know

136
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 3: who I wanted it to be, and I don't.

137
00:05:58,200 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: And I could just see through it.

138
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 3: I saw through it, but I just I kept holding

139
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 3: out hope that it would have been Zion because when

140
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 3: he does play, when he is locked in and zoned in,

141
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 3: he is unstoppable at all three levels of the offensive

142
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 3: side of the basketball court.

143
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: And then he leaps out of the room like a kangaroo.

144
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 3: It reminds me of a young Charles Barkley the way

145
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 3: he comes from the back, helps out on defense and

146
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 3: swat shots it to the fourth and fifth row, almost

147
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 3: like Lord Alonzo morning. And I'm using I'm old enough

148
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 3: to remember when guys like Patrick Ewing was at Georgetown,

149
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 3: it was swatting stuff in the third and fourth right.

150
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 2: It want't to keep the ball in play, Get that

151
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 2: you know what, out of here.

152
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 3: We'll let you inbound it because if you bring it

153
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 3: back in here again, I'm gonna give you more of

154
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 3: this block work. I said last week, all right, and

155
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 3: and and I tried to not go directly at it

156
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 3: because I understand, as you guys bought it back to me,

157
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 3: you're making an assumption.

158
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 1: VJ, you're making it.

159
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 3: I said, yeah, thank you, here we are, thank you.

160
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: He said that minute. I know that. So for the

161
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 1: other night, and I thought about you guy, don't think.

162
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 3: But that the only thing I just needed evidence. Now

163
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,039
Speaker 3: we got it. It's but you can see it. You

164
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 3: can see. All you have to do is just watch

165
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 3: how these guys go.

166
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: Like Lebron.

167
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 3: My brother made another grade, and I use this comparison

168
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 3: where Lebron's got nothing to prove, right, he doesn't, and

169
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 3: everybody knows that. I'm not a fan. I don't like

170
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 3: the guy, but I keep it a buck about basketball.

171
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 3: He's got zero to prove. He could have easily just say, yeah,

172
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 3: my foot's done. I'm done this year. I'm not going

173
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 3: in as the seventh. I'm not fighting for no playing.

174
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 3: I'm Lebron. If I ain't got a shot, I'm gonna

175
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 3: take a seat. That's somebody that you know wants to play.

176
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 3: Kobe playing through all those injuries in his career because

177
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 3: you want to play. I'm asking people, now, are we

178
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 3: seeing Ben Simmons again?

179
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 1: Does this guy really want to play?

180
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 3: I've been covering sports and especially basketball when my older

181
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 3: brother running AAU and in Virginia for so many years.

182
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 2: In Northern Virginia. A lot of the guys in the NBA, guys.

183
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 3: I saw at eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen years old.

184
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 3: So there's always gonna be guys. You can tell he

185
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 3: in this man like he's locked in. He if he

186
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 3: gets in the league, he may not be a champ

187
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 3: four time champion, but that cat wants to play basket ball.

188
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 3: And when I watched Zion, it just feels like I

189
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 3: got here. It's a lot of wear and tear on

190
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 3: my body. This is not a job. I hate that

191
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 3: basketball is the job.

192
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: No, it's not. It's your damn life. It's not a job.

193
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,559
Speaker 1: Your job. You get off and go home. Here's the thing, DJA.

194
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 1: A pro athlete.

195
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 2: You gotta eat, you gotta work out, you gotta drink

196
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 2: your water, you gotta.

197
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: Get your rest.

198
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 5: You go.

199
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: That's twenty four to seven to your point.

200
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 2: We all have jobs, right, yeah, but we all have

201
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,199
Speaker 2: to do things to prepare for those jobs.

202
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 1: Absolutely.

203
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 2: For example, I didn't go to brunch this morning. It

204
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 2: hit bottomless mimosas it's beautiful today. I gotta come out

205
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 2: here and talk on the radio, and I don't do

206
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 2: it as well. I wouldn't have done it as well

207
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 2: had I done that earlier, had I even to the

208
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 2: point maybe on some Friday nights, I'm thinking, do I

209
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 2: really even want to go out because if I go

210
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 2: out right, and I go.

211
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: To this party and I'm here, and I'm there and

212
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 1: I have.

213
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 2: Two or three or four Daddy Sodas, as my friend

214
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 2: Ross Tucker calls him, right, have two or three or

215
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 2: four of dolls, and then I wake up, you know

216
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 2: what I mean? And I got it feels like somebody

217
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 2: snuck in and beat me in the he the baseball

218
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 2: bat overnight. Am I gonna be able to come up

219
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 2: here and be as entertaining as I possibly could give

220
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 2: my best effort? Which I feel like I owe the

221
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:33,079
Speaker 2: audience and as well I owe you right because I'm

222
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 2: gonna come in here and do my things because to

223
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 2: allow you to be able to come here and do

224
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:40,079
Speaker 2: your thing right. Because at certain point, while we are

225
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 2: individuals in this I am Martin and you are VJ,

226
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 2: it is Martin and VJ. This is a team, right,

227
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 2: So all of that plays into this. So that's why

228
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 2: when you hear CJ. McCollum talking about in his post game,

229
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 2: I believe we have this sound.

230
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 5: Throughout my career, I've always been the type of player

231
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 5: to do whatever it takes to help the team. I

232
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 5: could have took the easy way out and got surgery,

233
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 5: sat and watched. But I'm not that type of person,

234
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 5: not that type of player. Even though it affected my

235
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 5: performers some nights, I never made excuses. I just go

236
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:11,839
Speaker 5: compete and do the best that I can, and I

237
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 5: always try to lead by example. It's hard to say

238
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 5: what we need to do other than injury, because if

239
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,559
Speaker 5: we played ten games together with our core, I would say,

240
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 5: availability is important, man, we gotta be available. We gotta

241
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 5: do what we need to do off the court, in

242
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 5: terms of preparation, in terms of getting treatment, in terms

243
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 5: of getting the right sleep, the right type of hydration,

244
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,959
Speaker 5: having the right type of diet. Everything has to matter

245
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 5: to us for everybody one hund through fifteen.

246
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: And let me have us.

247
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:41,199
Speaker 2: But please let me have us, because this is exactly

248
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 2: the things I say about pro I just mentioned it.

249
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,559
Speaker 1: You got it. Something as simple as.

250
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,679
Speaker 2: Drinking your water, bro like real talk, a gallon and

251
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 2: a half a day for pro athletes.

252
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 1: Some I know drink too.

253
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 3: That helps with those muscle the quad, the hamstring, the cap,

254
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 3: that's all those are all hydration style type injuries.

255
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 1: And lets you tear it.

256
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 3: But that strain that kept you out for twelve to

257
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 3: fifteen damn games, bro drink some water.

258
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 2: By short short, he heard his hamstring on January second.

259
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 2: He ain't plays this January. That's what I'm say you

260
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,559
Speaker 2: ten fifteen games you shorted it, you know is January

261
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 2: because something else got hurt, because he's out of shape,

262
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 2: but into it.

263
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: And in defense of Zion, I love that.

264
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 2: Jelkins said that the Pelicans did miss two hundred and

265
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 2: forty five games due to injury this season. Zion forty seven,

266
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,839
Speaker 2: brandon Ingram thirty seven himself with the miss toe, Larry

267
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 2: Nance missed some time, Herb Jones missed sometime, Jose Elvarado

268
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 2: missed some time, and he ended the season on the

269
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 2: injury reserve list. So you know they were. It was

270
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 2: a cavalcade of injuries. However, the thing is optically, Dude,

271
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 2: you're a star. Well it's just start optically. I mean, well,

272
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 2: you see, you're we're all looking at a team in

273
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 2: which brandon Ingram is a legit three level score. Yes,

274
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 2: balance Units is not a Tier one big guy. However,

275
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 2: here's the deal. There's only two Tier one big guys

276
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 2: Joel Embiid and Nicole jokicch you got a guy seven

277
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 2: foot who can move around about two seven of you

278
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 2: can move what they need him, great, what they need him.

279
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 2: He is a good enough big to win with. Right,

280
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 2: He's a good enough big to win with. He ain't

281
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 2: no he ain't no slop out there. He's can just

282
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 2: get you work.

283
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 1: CJ. McCollum out there.

284
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 2: And the thing that that you hear about on the

285
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 2: on the broadcast so much, how CJ. McCollum brought un

286
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 2: air professionalism to this team, because you remember, this is

287
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:40,679
Speaker 2: essentially the trade package for Anthony Davis, Larry Nance, Junior,

288
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 2: Brandon ingram Lonzo Ball was then flipped up into some

289
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 2: other things out of Chicago.

290
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 1: Heart was in that trade to the core of what

291
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:50,559
Speaker 1: the Pelicans are right now. Plus c J.

292
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:55,320
Speaker 2: McCollum is the Lakers youth movement. Right you look at

293
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:59,199
Speaker 2: that team, they are one guy away from being true

294
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,959
Speaker 2: contenders in a Western conference that is wide open. We

295
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 2: haven't seen any Western Conference playoff games yet. We'll get

296
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 2: into that in just a moment, but we're gonna talk

297
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 2: about this is next. How the NBA fine Dallas for

298
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 2: tanking that last game. Think about the historic collapse that

299
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:18,439
Speaker 2: Dallas went on in the second half of the season.

300
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 2: To miss the playoffs, right, to completely be un to

301
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 2: completely just missed the whole dance, and maybe purposely toesday.

302
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 2: They don't have to give up that number ten pick.

303
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 2: But but just that's what I say. It took something

304
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 2: we have never seen before in terms of collapse, you know,

305
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 2: tank whatever, to miss this thing where.

306
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,199
Speaker 3: Zion lost me though. Man was his own his own

307
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 3: words the other night, his own words. He said, I'm

308
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 3: you know, I'm I can go, but I'm not gonna

309
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 3: put myself out there, you know, to you know, I'm

310
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 3: just mentally bro.

311
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 2: You could just I love psychology and I love philosophy.

312
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:53,959
Speaker 3: It's one of my two favorite things to study in

313
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 3: schoolers I worked towards my degree. I love that stuff

314
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 3: because it's it's it's it's four hundred years old. It's

315
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 3: not wrong, guy, They've been talking about this for ages.

316
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 3: All you gotta do is watch somebody. All you gotta

317
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:05,960
Speaker 3: do is look in their eyes when they talk. When

318
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 3: police sit you down in the station, and you see

319
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 3: these people. I love First forty eight. It's the only

320
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 3: really crime show I watch because it's real stuff. They

321
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 3: know you lying, man, They're trained to see your face.

322
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 3: When you look away, you can't look at the camera.

323
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 3: You're studying over your You're studying over your words. When

324
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 3: I watched him speak, and why are they even talking

325
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 3: to him, He's not even playing. But when I heard

326
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 3: what he said, I think it was his exit interview. No,

327
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 3: I thought I thought it was court sided. I'm talking

328
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 3: about during the game. Oh, during the game.

329
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 2: During the game, yet, like one of the time outs,

330
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 2: you know, ID they go talk to the coach and

331
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 2: talk to the players. They want to talk to Zion

332
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 2: and Zion, I thought you were talking about it.

333
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 3: I feel and wearing all black baggy clothes, which is

334
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 3: a clear sign of I don't have the body that

335
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 3: I want right now. Something else that I looked up

336
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 3: to eighty four when they drafted him, he has ballooned

337
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 3: up since he's been there often on the three thirty three.

338
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: That's a fifty pounds difference. Boys and girls.

339
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 3: You can't play that way. That's why I question, do

340
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 3: you want play? You won't even you won't even watch

341
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 3: your weight. Come on, man, it stop playing with me people.

342
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 1: I do know this.

343
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:09,080

344
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 2: have with the football jersey. The mess Jersey trying to

345

00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 1: He didn't dressed like that, Martin.

347
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 2: It may also be indication that your boy needs a stylist,

348
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 2: all right, That was my take away. Make enough money well,

349
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 2: because your boy, I mean, he kind of looked like

350
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 2: straight out of Compton NWJ.

Speaker 3: I'm the third eye.

405
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,479
Speaker 2: Guys, so you feel some kind of way about this.

406
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 2: You got something on this, as I asked Mark mcdenna

407
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 2: last week and when we were talking about this potential

408
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,439
Speaker 2: investigation coming down the pipe. So they're going to include

409
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,439
Speaker 2: the Charlotte Hornets, the you know Portland Trail Blazers, you know,

410
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,479
Speaker 2: everybody else who's just been selling games down the Houston

411
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 2: I mean, Houston Rockets, San Antonio Stairs. You know, we're

412
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 2: just gonna sell all them too, you know, because I

413
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 2: mean they were all selling games.

414
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 3: You know what half Dollar tried to get better and

415
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,639
Speaker 3: play better with the Pistons they like. They went after Wei,

416
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:19,920
Speaker 3: they tried to get better and tried to play better.

417
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 2: They had them twenty percent off games games for sale.

418
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,400
Speaker 2: All right, worst record this year. So you know, I'm

419
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,119
Speaker 2: sitting there looking at it. But what I did forget?

420
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 2: Do you remember a couple of weeks ago when the

421
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 2: Mavericks were playing the Warriors, yep, And it was out

422
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 2: of a timeout and the referees gave the Warriors the ball,

423
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 2: and the Mavericks didn't know what side of what side

424
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:46,719
Speaker 2: of the court to be on.

425
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 1: That's what said.

426
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 2: So Mark Cuban, indignant that his players could have made

427
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:53,639
Speaker 2: such a mistake, then.

428
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 1: Challenges the league's ruling.

429
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 2: He challenged the outcome of the game as the result

430
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 2: of that. That challenge was obviously dismissed, right, but it's

431
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:04,359
Speaker 2: still something that the NBA had to go in and

432
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 2: investigate and look at.

433
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 1: Right, he made them do the work right. Four or

434
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 1: five days later, the.

435
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 2: NBA comes down with a seven hundred and fifty thousand

436
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 2: dollars fine for tanking, which is something we've seen across

437
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:16,439
Speaker 2: the league.

438
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 1: This is a little get back.

439
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:21,160
Speaker 2: From the league, in my opinion, to Mark Cuban said, look,

440
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 2: you're gonna make us do all this work because y'all

441
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 2: because y'all know what side of the court to be on,

442
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 2: because y'all can't tell which basket you're supposed to be

443
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 2: shooting on, because y'all didn't see the referee have the

444
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 2: ball and handed into the Warriors who were all on

445
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,400
Speaker 2: the other side of the court. All right, cool, pay

446
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 2: me seven hundre fifty thousand dollars for making me go

447
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:41,399
Speaker 2: investigate this. I like that because you know I like that.

448
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 2: I'm hey, listen, man, business is dirty, and business is.

449
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 1: Getting It just takes across the board. Yeah, yeah, there's tanks.

450
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:49,879
Speaker 3: Oh my god, this come on, man, especially when you

451
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 3: got a player like Victor. And there's always been discussions

452
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,639
Speaker 3: of it's ironic, Like the year the Calves have the

453
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 3: number one pick. Lebron's coming in the league. He's from Cleveland.

454
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 3: Dereck Grose had the number pick, number one pick. I'm

455
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,680
Speaker 3: sorry the Bulls had the number one pick. Derrick Rose

456
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 3: is coming in the league. Dereck Rose is from Chicago.

457
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,679
Speaker 3: Like we've heard stories of the frozen envelope for the

458
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 3: Knicks with Patrick Ewing. I always say why do you

459
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 3: spin those balls away from us? I want to see

460
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:18,880
Speaker 3: it live on TV. Don't come out of a room

461
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 3: and tell me, oh, yeah, by the way, this is

462
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 3: how it came out, and I don't. We don't know

463
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 3: that though. You will only go by what I can

464
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,400
Speaker 3: only go by what you tell me. And just because

465
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:29,919
Speaker 3: you're telling me this, I'm not gonna believe it. So

466
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 3: there's always shady things going on in pro sports. There's

467
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,919
Speaker 3: always oh yeah, you want to do that, Okay, no problem.

468
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,679
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you've been a good samaritan. Look at the

469
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 3: NFL with the way the Patriots kind of got slapped

470
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 3: on the back hand, with all the stuff that they

471
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 3: went through. And Roger Goodell, the commissioner works for the owners. Guys,

472
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 3: he don't work for the players. He don't work for

473
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,159
Speaker 3: the fans. He works for the owners. And when you

474
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 3: can schmooze and kiss, kiss babies and shake hands, hey,

475
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 3: sometimes you'll get a little wink wink. Okay, oh yeah,

476
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,679
Speaker 3: we'll throw this little or like you said, sometimes we

481
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,720

483

484
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 1: trying to alert.

Speaker 2: I'm not trying to say, is anything more than a

486
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 2: petty slap on the wrist.

487
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 1: That's all it is. He spends that in coffee. Yeah,

488
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 1: but if this is like a traffic ticket, yeah, yeah,

489
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Less than that, no, But.

490
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, you walk outside, you see your car,

491
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 2: and you got a fifteen.

492
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:35,280

Speaker 1: You walk out, You're like, dog, are you serious?

496
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:44,640
Speaker 2: And it depending on how the rest of your day goes,

497
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:46,200
Speaker 2: it may just go ahead and send it over the

498

Speaker 2: edge all the way to fully a bad day, you

499
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying. But it's in general, this is

500
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 2: more of an annoyance than anything. But it just feels

501
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:56,160
Speaker 2: like a petty slap on the wrist. Right now, we

502
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,800

555
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 2: Back to you, Thanks Steve Martin and VJ. Coming to

556
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,479
Speaker 2: you liar from the Tireck dot Com studios. And without

557
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 2: further ado, let's get my main man, Mark Medina in here.

558
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 2: He's Fox Sports Radio NBA insider, and Mark, I asked

559
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 2: you last week if the NBA was gonna include you know,

560
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:44,639
Speaker 2: Portland and all these other teams that have been taken

561
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:47,120
Speaker 2: that have been tanking in this, in this, in this

562
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:50,639
Speaker 2: you know, massive investigation that was just concluded with the

563
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 2: Dallas Mavericks. But now I ask you, I don't know

564
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 2: if you just heard bout conspiracy theory. I'll lay it

565
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 2: out for you real quick.

566
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 1: I think this fine from the tanking, which we see

567
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 1: across league is almost a.

568
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 2: Direct response to Mark Cuban challenging the league with the

569
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,119
Speaker 2: data bounds and scoring on the wrong basket with the

570
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,920
Speaker 2: Warriors a few weeks ago. And what do you think,

571
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,159
Speaker 2: as a guy on the inside of this, any credence

572
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 2: to that or no?

573
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 9: Well, I don't want to dismiss it, but I don't

574
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 9: also want to validate. And here's what I mean by that.

575
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 9: I don't think that the fine necessarily had anything to

576
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 9: do with what Cuban did necessarily, but you know, when

577
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 9: the league hears complaints from owners or coaches, they certainly

578
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 9: take certain people's credibility for a green assault here. But

579
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 9: I think the larger play. I think the fine still

580
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:43,239
Speaker 9: would have been the same amount, but doesn't hurt. It

581
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:47,199
Speaker 9: doesn't help relationships moving forward. And I think that to

582
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:51,159
Speaker 9: your overall point about hey, what about punishing teams that

583
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:54,720
Speaker 9: tank much longer than the Mavericks, I agree one hundred percent.

584
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 9: This fine I thought missed the mark for two reasons. One,

585
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 9: I thought the fine itself was a slap on the wrist.

586
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:04,639
Speaker 9: Seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars isn't a lot for

587
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 9: an organization that makes a lot more revenue than that.

588
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 9: And number two, I think that they were punishing the

589
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 9: MAVs for saying the quiet part out loud, where Jason

590
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 9: Kidd the MAVs coaches saying, Hey, we're gonna sit guys,

591
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:20,359
Speaker 9: we're out of the playoffs, et cetera, where you know,

592
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,679
Speaker 9: other teams are more sophisticated and saying, oh, these guys

593
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 9: have injuries or we're trying to develop young players. And

594
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:29,360
Speaker 9: so while I do think that there has been some

595
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 9: substantial improvement with reduced tanking because of the play tournament,

596
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:38,440
Speaker 9: the reality is that set up extreme tanking that final weekend,

597
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 9: and I thought that was agreed tous. But I think

598
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:43,479
Speaker 9: the bigger point that you're making, where you have teams

599
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 9: like the Thunder that have been tanking for a while now,

600
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:51,360
Speaker 9: that shouldn't be rewarded either. And so it just seems

601
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 9: like the NBA puts a lot more energy into reacting

602
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:59,479
Speaker 9: to the optics than maybe the substance, and that in

603
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 9: and of the self is disappointed.

604
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:05,919
Speaker 1: My Man Martin mcdano, what's up, player, just trying.

605
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:07,880
Speaker 9: To enjoy this playoff run. She'll be excited.

606
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:10,359
Speaker 3: Well, you already know where I'm going, baby. The big

607
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 3: game is on tonight. It'll start while I'm still on

608
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 3: the air, but I will restart it when I get

609
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 3: home on my DVR like I always do. I'm taking

610
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:19,879
Speaker 3: the Warriors in seven with a plus five point fifty

611
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 3: on that out of Vegas. Put some bread down on that.

612
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 3: Going against the Kings. I've been throwing the Warriors at

613
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 3: you for about a month and a half. Now, Wotan Wiggs, Clay,

614
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:30,919
Speaker 3: Clay look like Clay again. You know, Draymond gonna do

615
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 3: something to pitch somebody off at some point. I don't

616
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 3: know if the Kings have enough modcast social I don't

617
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 3: think if they have enough mental to deal with what

618
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 3: they're gonna show who they're gonna show up against.

619
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 1: I think it's a seven game series.

620
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 3: But the Warriors, that I've been saying this all year long,

621
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,240
Speaker 3: if there's a team, I need to go get one

622
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:50,840
Speaker 3: on the road, and they've.

623
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 1: Been bad on the road.

624
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 2: But if there's a squad in May in April, I

625
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:56,399
Speaker 2: need to go get one. I trust them more than

626
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 2: anybody else. Man, talk to me about this serious player.

627
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,399
Speaker 9: Wow, you don't if you don't have any faith that

628
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 9: the Kings can light the beam after breaking the playoffs

629
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:06,640
Speaker 9: drouts in the two thousand and six.

630
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:08,120
Speaker 2: You know what, I just want to say that makes

631
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 2: one of us. No, but no, not at all.

632
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 1: But I don't.

633
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 3: I just I feel like the West has been really

634
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:16,399
Speaker 3: down this year and they took advantage of it.

635
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:18,680
Speaker 2: Kudos did them. But you know now that's all over?

636
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:19,719
Speaker 2: Now is the playoffs?

637
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 9: Yeah? I mean, look, I feel that. I feel what

638
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,919
Speaker 9: Lebron James said at practice earlier today. He said that

639
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 9: I think every team legitimately has a shot to win.

640
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 9: But I do favor the Warriors over the Kings because

641
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 9: it is the playoffs. They're getting guys back. Andrew Wakins

642
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 9: is going to play against the Kings now. I think

643
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 9: in the short term he's going to be rusty. I

644
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 9: could see the Kings winning Game one because of the

645
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 9: excitement the atmosphere center. But here's the bottom line. If

646
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 9: the Kings don't win Game one, they already lost the series.

647
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 9: Where if the Warriors win Game one, the excuse me,

648
00:28:56,160 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 9: If the Warriors win Game one, series is over right. Yeah,

649
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 9: you know that sets the tone. The Warriors can afford

650
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 9: losing Game one in Sacramento because of all those other elements,

651
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 9: and they know how to respond to adversity. They lost

652
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 9: Game one on their home four against the Celtics last year.

653
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 9: But I think the stars are aligned for this to

654
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 9: be a competitive series because they're well coached. The Kings

655
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 9: have a great offense, but they don't defend at all.

656
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 9: And the Warriors, they're the Warriors. They got the championship equity.

657
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 9: But finally all of these players that were missing for

658
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 9: substantial period of time, namely Andrew Wiggins, is finally back

659
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 9: in action. And so I don't know if they'll win

660
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 9: the title, but for sure they're gonna win the first round.

661
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 2: Well, if they win today, that'll go ahead and put

662
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 2: their road win. I know this the postseason, so it's

663
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 2: different stats, but road wins on this season out of

664
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 2: Robust twelve.

665
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 9: As better. It's at least better than the Rockets road records.

666
00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 1: Hey just barely, just barely.

667
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 2: But a few months ago, John Moran said he had

668
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 2: no worries in the West, and then proceedingly from that

669
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 2: moment on, you know, we got, we got, we got

670
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 2: Instagram live videos with those shirts and guns. We got

671
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 2: Steven Adams getting hurt, Dylan Brooks, verst shed and sharp.

672
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 2: Brandon Clark is down, you know, but this team still

673
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 2: in the second in the second spot in the Western

674
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 2: Conference right now and looking up for a battle with

675
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 2: the Lakers.

676
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 1: Where do you see this series ending?

677
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 2: I feel like these two in the Western Conference, Sacramento

678
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 2: and Golden State and Memphis and the Lakers are two

679
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 2: of the most like old school versus new school, established

680
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 2: versus new Like where are you at with this?

681
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 9: I don't think John Moran should feel fine in the West.

682
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 9: I think the Lakers are going to take this series

683
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 9: in six games for a few reasons. They're more experienced,

684
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 9: they're Championship testas, Lebron James Anthony Davis, are a lot healthier. Yes,

685
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 9: they look sluggish against Minnesota, having a you know, prevailing

686
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 9: overtime just to win a playing game, but they have

687
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 9: a lot of rest up until Sunday's game. They are

688
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 9: also going to have a lot of rust throughout the series.

689
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 9: They don't play Game two until Wednesday, then when they're

690
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 9: back in LA, they don't play Game three until next Saturday,

691
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 9: so there's a lot of recovery time, preparation time. The Grizzlies.

692
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 9: Don't get me wrong, they're a well stacked team. They

693
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 9: got a lot of star power. Even without Steven Adams

694
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 9: and Brandon Clark. They obviously have home court advantage. They

695
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 9: are not afraid of the Lakers. But I think, as

696
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:31,720
Speaker 9: they've shown, whether it was last year's second round series

697
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 9: against the Warriors or throughout this regular season, they seem

698
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 9: to be more consumed with the trash talk and the

699
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 9: physicality than actually playing basketball. So here's the bottom line.

700
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 9: I think it seems inevitable that the Grizzlies are going

701
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 9: to be more worried about the trash talk and the

702
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 9: extra curricular than actually executing. That's going to play in

703
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 9: the lakers favor. And I think the other thing that's

704
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 9: dangerous is that they've been poking the bear at the

705
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 9: wrong teams. I don't do this against a team that's

706
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 9: won championships like the Warriors. You don't do this against

707
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 9: a Lakers team that has Lebron James because at that

708
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 9: point they't just want to put them in their place

709
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 9: even more and tell them to shut up. So I

710
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 9: think that's exactly what's gonna happen. It'll be competitive, but

711
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 9: the Lakers wind up winning this at six.

712
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 1: And yeah, I tell you, Mark, I'll be honest with you. Man.

713
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 3: More and more that I think about this series, I

714
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 3: am being pulled to the Lakers side, even though I

715
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 3: am still gonna stick with Memphis because I think when

716
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 3: you go, when you go star for star, I'll put

717
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 3: my money on job to go get me a forty

718
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 3: point game. As this series goes on, like you said,

719
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 3: there's a lot of rest between games one and three,

720
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 3: and then it kind of picks up. And we've seen

721
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 3: the Lakers when they have to play a lot of

722
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 3: games in a short amount of time, theyve you know,

723
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 3: I don't want to say use an excuse. I won't

724
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 3: even use Lebron, but Darvin Ham did bring it up

725
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:49,720
Speaker 3: into travel and this and that and to back to

726
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 3: back and there's no back to back in the playoffs,

727
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 3: and that's fine.

728
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 2: But I do agree with you one hundred percent. And

729
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 2: I tweeted this the other day, that job right now,

730
00:32:57,640 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 2: he can shut up a lot of people, and like

731
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 2: you're talking about the Lakers, want to shut them up.

732
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 2: Jacques shut everybody up.

733
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 3: But I'm worried though that he's got more in his

734
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 3: brain than basketball right now, because he filed a countersuit

735
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 3: towards the seventeen year old.

736
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 1: As if now the story is the seventeen year.

737
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 3: Old was the physical one towards him violently, and then

738
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 3: he goes to get the gun out of the house

739
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 3: for protection because this seventeen year old hit him in

740
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 3: the face with the basketball or something. Now you start

741
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 3: to see these stories start to come out. I hated

742
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 3: to hear that the other day. I was driving in

743
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 3: my car when I heard that, Go God, this is

744
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 3: not what they need. They need to be locked in because,

745
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 3: like you said, you pissed Lebron off. Lebron has these

746
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 3: moments where you, like you said, Okay, I'll show you

747
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 3: you guys call me, oh to call me this a

748
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 3: call me. I only needs only eight four wins, only

749
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 3: a four to seven to beat you, guys. And if

750
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 3: AD's locked in, Delos locked in, I'm with you on

751
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 3: that one name. I want to throw at you just

752
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 3: really fast. I'm watching this giddy kid and I'm super

753
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 3: impressed by him.

754
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 1: I haven't watched the locked this show.

755
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna like I watched a lot of ok

756
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 3: see games, but watching him in the playing games, one

757
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:59,239
Speaker 3: simple question for you, I think Giddy is gonna end

758
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 3: up turning into the player that we.

759
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 1: Want Luca to be.

760
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 3: What do you think about I thought you might like

761
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 3: that make I thought you might like that one.

762
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 9: I mean, look, he wasn't drafted as a generational talent

763
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:13,479
Speaker 9: right off the bat. I think Josh Gitty was seen

764
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:16,920
Speaker 9: as a very energetic, physical player. Uh that could be

765
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:19,840
Speaker 9: part of the call of the machine, so to speak,

766
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 9: where it's clearly about Shay. But I think about Kitty

767
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:27,480
Speaker 9: is that he is very driven to be great, and

768
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 9: he's not afraid of the moment, and he also continues

769
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 9: to get better because when you look at his trajectory,

770
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 9: just ever since the be game of his career, he

771
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 9: was just seen as, Hey, this nice defender, he's athletic.

772
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:43,479
Speaker 9: But I think that he's from leaps and bounds where

773
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:45,919
Speaker 9: maybe it's too early to say, oh, yeah, he could

774
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 9: be Luca, But I think that he's going to be

775
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:50,440
Speaker 9: a player that could be an All Star. He's going

776
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 9: to be a player that's about winning, habit and makes

777
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:55,640
Speaker 9: his team better. And here's the thing about Luca. He's

778
00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:59,400
Speaker 9: putting up triple digit perform you know, triple double performances,

779
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 9: MVP type numbers, but he doesn't always lead to winning basketball.

780
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 9: I think he has winning habits, he has the right

781
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 9: competitive motor, but I think that it's been a challenge

782
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:13,880
Speaker 9: in trusting his teammates. In Luca's defense, he doesn't have

783
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 9: the right roster around him. But even when he has

784
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:20,720
Speaker 9: good teammates around him, he doesn't always elevate them the best.

785
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 9: I think in that case, Giddy's good. But as far

786
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 9: as talent for talent, I mean, it's not even debate

787
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 9: lucas in the whole other Shrasker, but I do get

788
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:32,239
Speaker 9: your larger point that Josh Gitty is really special and

789
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:34,839
Speaker 9: you know, not to be corny, but I'm giddy about

790
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:36,160
Speaker 9: his upside.

791
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:39,839
Speaker 1: I got one last one, Mark, are you feeling like Mark?

792
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 1: You feeling like Mark mcdina today?

793
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm ready. I'm always I'm always myself.

794
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 1: Okay, that's what I'm about to say, man, because I

795
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 1: know I know.

796
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:49,920
Speaker 2: Look, whether he's feeling like Mark or not, my man,

797
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 2: Mark Madina brings it.

798
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 1: You'll be writing this playoffs.

799
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:56,879
Speaker 2: He'll be at Sports, not The Sporting Tribune, Spectrum, Sports Net,

Speaker 1: Martin VJ. Coming to you a liar from the tyreck

809
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:21,880
Speaker 1: dot com studios on Fox Sports Radio.

810
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:27,799
Speaker 2: VJ is Jackie Robinson Day. He was more than just

811
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:29,920
Speaker 2: a friend. He was the man.

812
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:31,359
Speaker 8: He was.

813
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 2: Jackie Robinson was the man. No, I don't know if

814
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 2: there's another athlete that I love more that was dead

815
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:45,840
Speaker 2: before I was born that I love more than Jackie Robinson. Really,

816
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 2: he died in seventy two, so by the time he

817
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:51,279
Speaker 2: passed away, I wasn't even born yet.

818
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:52,880
Speaker 1: That's how much I love Jackie.

819
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:55,759
Speaker 2: He's the athlete that just him and I, LEI and

820
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 2: Mike Tyson, they just do it for me.

821
00:36:57,600 --> 00:36:57,799
Speaker 1: Man.

822
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 2: We'll get into more about Jackie Robinson his impact on

823
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:03,440
Speaker 2: the game, and later on I actually wrote an article

824
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:05,240
Speaker 2: for mlbbro dot com.

825
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:08,360
Speaker 1: Rob Parker's favorite website, they're sitting there right.

826
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:08,879
Speaker 2: Now, DJ.

827
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:11,840
Speaker 1: The basic premise, I'll reach you the headline one second.

828
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:15,319
Speaker 2: Here Jackie Robinson Day illuminates the need for Major League

829
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:18,719
Speaker 2: Baseball to compensate living Negro league players, of which there

830
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 2: are more than you would imagine. But there's the idea

831
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:26,759
Speaker 2: that this country could sustain two professional leagues. We see

832
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 2: it now, the XFL, USFL and the NFL. Right, it's attempting,

833
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 2: attempting to sustain two professional leagues in the most in

834
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:39,959
Speaker 2: the most popular sport in the country. At one point

835
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 2: in time in this country prior to nineteen fifty, not

836
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:46,879
Speaker 2: only were there two major league major leagues that were

837
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 2: of the same sport, they were immensely popular and had

838
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 2: and were drawing incredible audiences. And the only difference are

839
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 2: the main difference was it was split down racial lines.

840
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:00,600
Speaker 2: To me, if there's nothing more than it says about

841
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 2: the history of America than that right.

842
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 1: There, right there, man.

843
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:04,800
Speaker 2: And when you think about the Negro leagues and you

844
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 2: think about Jackie Robinson was over there with the Monarchs

845
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:11,399
Speaker 2: and Sechral Page, I mean, it's the names you can

846
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:12,880
Speaker 2: throw out and the history you can throw it in

847
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 2: the game and That's why.

848
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:15,879
Speaker 1: I love baseball, I really do.

849
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 3: I don't watch one hundred and sixty two damn games

850
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:20,920
Speaker 3: in the regular season, no, but I still love the sport.

851
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,360
Speaker 3: I don't miss no playoff games. Just like with NBA

852
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:27,399
Speaker 3: and NHL a DVR every I watch every single postseason game.

853
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:30,399
Speaker 3: No postseason game goes by without me seeing it one

854
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:32,279
Speaker 3: way or another, whether I'm laid up at night or

855
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:34,280
Speaker 3: early in the morning catching up from the night before.

856
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 3: So I love the fact that baseball it's still relevant.

857
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 3: You guys do a great job over at mlbroad dot com.

858
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 3: I follow it on Twitter. I actually went through and

859
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:45,960
Speaker 3: read through the whole roster last night. You guys have

860
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 3: built a really nice thing. I didn't know it was

861
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 3: so many, like, you know, employees. I didn't know it

862
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:52,800
Speaker 3: were so many people attached to that thing. Rob Parker

863
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:55,120
Speaker 3: and you guys have built something really really great. Man

864
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 3: that brings you know, brings eyes onto the black players

865
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:02,160
Speaker 3: that have sacrifice and the current black players in the

866
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:05,040
Speaker 3: league that are balling hard and playing well and doing

867
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:08,480
Speaker 3: their thing. Man, So great stuff, great day. I love

868
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:11,799

Speaker 3: is the stuff about sports. Guys that you just it

870
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:14,480
Speaker 3: gives you.

871
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:16,279
Speaker 2: If you don't get a little chicken skin, you know

872
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 2: what I'm saying, Go get a hug Man, go get it,

873
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:20,360
Speaker 2: Go to the spot, go get a massage, go reset yourself,

874
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 2: because this is the stuff that you love. This is

875
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:25,839
Speaker 2: the stuff that, in my opinion, which makes sports so great.

876
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 2: Is a daylight today, Yeah it's and it's a day

877
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:33,680
Speaker 2: that while you know, it's a historic right and I'm

878
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:36,080
Speaker 2: not trying to devalue that, but there's a lot of

879
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 2: fallout that happened as a result of Jackie Robinson crossing

880
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:42,319
Speaker 2: the color barrier. We'll get into a lot of that

881
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:45,879
Speaker 2: coming later on in the show, maybe the next hour

882
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:47,800
Speaker 2: or so. But the one thing I do want to

883
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:50,960
Speaker 2: say in this moment right here is we talk about

884
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:54,560
Speaker 2: the quote unquote color Barrier as if it was the

885
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 2: Berlin Wall.

886
00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 1: That's a good aenothot. Okay, the like.

887
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 2: The Berlin Wall, German people had to go in and

888
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:09,720
Speaker 2: physically take down the Berlin Wall down. Okay, the color

889
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:14,280
Speaker 2: barrier was nothing more than a bunch of people making

890
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:15,000
Speaker 2: a decision.

891
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 1: That is it the only thing it took for someone to.

892
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:21,960
Speaker 2: Break the quote unquote color barrier was for branch Rickey

893
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:25,280
Speaker 2: to realize that they had black people who were talented

894
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:26,640
Speaker 2: enough to play this game, and he could get them

895
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 2: for a cheaper price. We'll get to that and later

896
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:31,800

Speaker 2: Right now, we are deep in the first round of

908
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:02,880
Speaker 2: the NBA Playoffs.

909
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:06,160
Speaker 1: The Knicks have an eight point lead on the Cavaliers.

910
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:08,320
Speaker 2: As Steve de Seger just told you about that everything

911
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:09,760
Speaker 2: else going on in the world of sports.

912
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:11,760
Speaker 1: Waiting for the fourth quarter of that thing to start.

913
00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:15,400
Speaker 2: Earlier today, we had the Nets, i mean the Nets

914
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:18,000
Speaker 2: get smoked by the seventy six or seventy six ers

915
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:20,520
Speaker 2: win that game one twenty one to one eleven, and

916
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:24,279
Speaker 2: then the Boston Celtics again smoked the Atlanta Hawks on

917
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 2: one twelve to ninety nine. This been the first really

918
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:31,360
Speaker 2: competitive game we've seen all day VJ, and hopefully the

919
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:34,359
Speaker 2: one after it. The only Western Conference thing on the

920
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:37,560
Speaker 2: slate this afternoon or this evening, I should say the

921
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:40,560
Speaker 2: Warriors and the Kings also hopefully lives up to the hype.

922
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:42,200
Speaker 1: And I think it will live up to the hype too.

923
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:44,840
Speaker 3: Man, I'm reading the text message from my guy, Bernie Frattle,

924

925
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:50,400
Speaker 3: one Vegas guy, just put up a stat about the

926

Speaker 3: King the Warriors twenty seven straight playoff series with a

927
00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:58,280
Speaker 3: road win, and he finished the tweet off by saying,

928
00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:02,239
Speaker 3: Warriors and six and I think this and listen, I

929
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:04,319
Speaker 3: think this series is gonna be really good and I'm

930
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:07,799
Speaker 3: excited to watch Darren Fox, I really am. This kid

931
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:10,320
Speaker 3: has been the best closer, the best fourth quarter.

932
00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:11,480
Speaker 1: Player all year long.

933
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:14,160
Speaker 3: But once again, in the regular season, you're playing a

934
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:17,120
Speaker 3: different guy every two to three nights. Sometimes guys don't

935
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:19,080
Speaker 3: do their work on you. Sometimes guys don't do their

936
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:20,880
Speaker 3: film study, and you could take advantage of them but

937
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:22,360
Speaker 3: in the playoffs, by.

938
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:24,960
Speaker 1: Game two, we know what you run, you know what

939
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:25,479
Speaker 1: we run.

940
00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:28,840
Speaker 3: It just comes down to who's gonna execute more, who's

941
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:31,400
Speaker 3: gonna get on the class and basketball is about rebounds

942
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 3: and turnovers. You take care of the ball and you

943
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:35,200
Speaker 3: pull out your win decks and you go wipe some

944
00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:37,879
Speaker 3: glass and go clean some glass. Man, then you're gonna

945
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:41,200
Speaker 3: you're most likely gonna win that series. You know, you

946
00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:44,200
Speaker 3: know STEP's gonna have a bonkers game. You know Klay's

947
00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:46,680
Speaker 3: gonna have a bonkers game. Both of those guys are

948
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:49,080
Speaker 3: gonna have these ridiculous type games that we know they have.

949
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:51,239
Speaker 3: And I think Darien Fox has like a forty point

950
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 3: night one of these games. But just head to head,

951
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:57,759
Speaker 3: player to player, coach the coach, Mike Brown's been on

952
00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 3: that staff. He's got championship rings and probably in the

953
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:03,440
Speaker 3: trophy case in his home that say the Golden State Warriors.

954
00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:06,160
Speaker 3: As an assistant coach on that staff there, he knows

955
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:10,000
Speaker 3: what they're about. Like I said, I just young the

956
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:12,759
Speaker 3: young guard. It's hard to come beat the old dog man.

957
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 3: And it really isn't basketball.

958
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:14,560
Speaker 1: It's hard.

959
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:17,759
Speaker 2: Young teams just don't jump and go win it and

960
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:20,000
Speaker 2: jump or take out the big dog. You gotta you

961
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:21,799
Speaker 2: gotta go through your you gotta go through some years, man,

962
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:24,360
Speaker 2: you gotta go through. I think that's something that people

963
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:28,279
Speaker 2: aren't giving enough credit to is that if anybody on

964
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:34,000
Speaker 2: the sideline knows the Golden State Warriors, it's Mike Brown because.

965
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:37,560
Speaker 1: Who he don't play, He don't play.

966
00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:42,359
Speaker 2: He has coached several NFL NBA teams, but it really

967
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:46,040
Speaker 2: kind of got his rep back, uh in Golden State

968
00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:48,359
Speaker 2: and then again coaching the Nigerian national team.

969
00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:50,440
Speaker 1: Oh I didn't know that. Oh yeah, he coached the

970
00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:53,239
Speaker 1: Nigeria's that's what he was coaching, the Nigeria national team.

971
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:55,919
Speaker 2: And I gotta give John John wall NBA agent John

972
00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:58,560
Speaker 2: wall not NBA player John Waller. I gotta give him

973
00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:01,279
Speaker 2: credit because I was sitting there watching the game with him,

974
00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:03,880
Speaker 2: and He's like, in three years, Mike Brown will be

975
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:05,920
Speaker 2: back coaching in the NBA and it'll be from this

976
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:07,839
Speaker 2: And I'm watching him coach like Gabe Benson and some

977
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:09,759
Speaker 2: of the other guys who are on the Nigeria national team,

978
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:12,960
Speaker 2: and I'm like, really, Mike Brown, sure enough, here he

979
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:15,400
Speaker 2: is coaching the three seed and I had to, you know,

980
00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:17,520
Speaker 2: I texted today, good job, good call by you, buddy.

981
00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 1: I was dead wrong. He's a great basketball coach.

982
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:21,600
Speaker 2: I do think he's a good coach, and I think

983
00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:24,880
Speaker 2: that that there has to be some value to that.

984
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:27,319
Speaker 2: I don't like for the way that people are just

985
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:31,840
Speaker 2: I mean riding off the Sacramento Kings. I mean Medina.

986
00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:34,799
Speaker 2: Mark Madeina, we had him on the last hour, was

987
00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:37,640
Speaker 2: legitimately surprised when I said I was picking the King.

988
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:41,279
Speaker 2: And you know, he's not poking fun. He's actually surprised

989
00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:41,680
Speaker 2: at that.

990
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:43,440
Speaker 1: I have not seen.

991
00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:50,600
Speaker 2: Like media consensus on picks like I have set over

992
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:53,520
Speaker 2: this last you know, three or four days since we

993
00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:57,839
Speaker 2: had the Western Conference set. Everybody thinks that the Grizzlies

994
00:44:57,880 --> 00:44:59,600
Speaker 2: and the Kings are winning no more than.

995
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:00,879
Speaker 1: Four playof games.

996
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 2: Wow, think about it. I've seen a lot of Laker love.

997
00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:06,200
Speaker 2: That's what that means, you know what I'm saying. That's

998
00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:08,160
Speaker 2: what that means. On the flip side, that means if

999
00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:09,959
Speaker 2: you love the Lakers, that means the Grizzlies are gonna

1000
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:12,560
Speaker 2: not win. I mean Sacramento is not winning for a

1001
00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:14,960
Speaker 2: playoff games. Yeah, I don't know if I agree with

1002
00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:16,719
Speaker 2: the Grizzlies. One the Sacramento one.

1003
00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:20,040
Speaker 3: I'll just keep going back to when the for the

1004
00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:26,760
Speaker 3: last eight or nine years of the NBA, when the Golden.

1005
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:31,319
Speaker 1: State Warriors are healthy in whole, they don't get beat.

1006
00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:36,200
Speaker 3: Let's say this, when when when the Golden State Warriors

1007
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:40,280
Speaker 3: over the last eight years are stacked and they're healthy

1008
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:43,760
Speaker 3: and they have their roster, they have not been beat. Guys,

1009
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:47,320
Speaker 3: we haven't watched anybody beat them. Even the Lebron James

1010
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:50,040
Speaker 3: Cleveland three to one. Steph had his knee drain. He

1011
00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:53,399
Speaker 3: was coming back from a meniscus injury. Drain your knee

1012
00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:55,279
Speaker 3: and then you go play basketball and let me see

1013
00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:55,759
Speaker 3: how you look.

1014
00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:56,759
Speaker 1: It's not a small thing.

1015
00:45:57,560 --> 00:46:01,080
Speaker 3: And Andrew Bogan, Andrew Bogan who he was shutting down

1016
00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:01,560
Speaker 3: the paint.

1017
00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:03,759
Speaker 1: He had Lebron driving in and kicking out.

1018
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 3: I can remember Van Gundy saying, when you get that

1019
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:09,360
Speaker 3: close and eventually he's gonna have to challenge Bogan. Bogan

1020
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:11,879
Speaker 3: had that lockdown, he blows his knee out, he goes

1021
00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:13,640
Speaker 3: out of that series. And then the years where they

1022
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:15,399
Speaker 3: didn't have guys and they sat guys and they sat

1023
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:17,200
Speaker 3: stuff for a year. They had didn't have clay for

1024
00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:20,000
Speaker 3: two years and only won like eighteen games, twenty something games.

1025
00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:22,640
Speaker 3: They weren't whole last year. What happened, guys, they went

1026
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:26,399
Speaker 3: through injuries, but when they got back together, they went

1027
00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:27,800
Speaker 3: and won another championship.

1028
00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:30,080
Speaker 1: And I just think right now they're all whole.

1029
00:46:30,239 --> 00:46:33,560
Speaker 3: Wigs is back, they bring back Peyton Junior, Clay, Like

1030
00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:35,440
Speaker 3: I said, Clay's gonna have a game. Draymond's gonna get

1031
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:38,239
Speaker 3: under somebody's skin because that's what Draymond does, So that's

1032
00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:40,520
Speaker 3: his role. Draymond's gonna do that. And I know Mike

1033
00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:42,120
Speaker 3: Brown's a great coach and he won Coach of the Year.

1034
00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:44,080
Speaker 3: Congratulations Mike Brown. But at the end of the day,

1035
00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:46,880
Speaker 3: you're still the pupil. Steve curR is a great basketball

1036
00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:48,480
Speaker 3: coach and I just think he has the better team.

1037
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:51,400
Speaker 3: And listen to Kings, congratulations on your year. But it

1048
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:16,520
Speaker 2: Sex Neither one of us are fortune tellers.

1049
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:18,360
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. So I'm just but look,

1050
00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:20,279
Speaker 1: but that's why Madina said that.

1051
00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:24,200
Speaker 2: Well, it's just it's just dog like six Martin look man,

00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:33,680
Speaker 3: I don't care what people think and what people say.

Speaker 1: Bro. Six is wow.

1059
00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:41,759
Speaker 2: I think that we also really probably should be looking

1060
00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:43,760
Speaker 2: at the idea that this is the last run.

1061
00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:47,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is this is the last dance for the

1062
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:47,600
Speaker 1: Golden State.

1063
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:52,480
Speaker 2: Ward could be because you got Draymond with his pending

1064
00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:57,080
Speaker 2: free agency. Clay Thompson is a pending free agent. Steph

1065
00:47:57,160 --> 00:47:59,280
Speaker 2: Curry is going to be there until the day he dies.

1066
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:02,080
Speaker 2: Clay They're gonna pay Clay. They're gonna pay Clay Clay.

1067
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:05,960
Speaker 2: All I'm saying is you got a lot of decisions

1068
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:09,000
Speaker 2: to make here. You got a lot of decisions to make,

1069
00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:11,399
Speaker 2: and then you got your kamingas and your in your

1070
00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:14,000
Speaker 2: and your Wiggins is and so on.

1071
00:48:14,160 --> 00:48:16,439
Speaker 1: I'm so glad Wiggs is back. I'm glad. I'm happy

1072
00:48:16,520 --> 00:48:18,440
Speaker 1: that he is too. I'm glad that gets back. You know,

1073
00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:23,759
Speaker 1: February fourteenth to now they said he started. I saw

1074
00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:26,040
Speaker 1: the reported that he stopped play. I'm sorry, I gotta

1075
00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:26,359
Speaker 1: go back.

1076
00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:31,279
Speaker 2: Wiggins message from from Valentine's Davy Now with almost just

1077
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:31,960
Speaker 2: about two months.

1078
00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:32,640
Speaker 1: It's February.

1079
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:35,239
Speaker 2: I mean it's just over two months because April it's

1080
00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:38,920
Speaker 2: April fifteenth today he missed from Valentine's Day on for

1081
00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:42,040
Speaker 2: personal reasons, of which you know it hasn't been overly reported.

1082
00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:44,400
Speaker 1: But everything is like he'll be all right, yep, won't

1083
00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:44,759
Speaker 1: touch it.

1084
00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:50,600
Speaker 10: Zion heard his hamstring on January second. January second, I digress.

1085
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:54,840
Speaker 10: But one other point about the Kings that didn't get it.

1086
00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:57,520
Speaker 10: I didn't get this whole Medina the Western Conference. The

1087
00:48:57,560 --> 00:49:00,920
Speaker 10: reason why Lebron could confidently say any anybody know, we

1088
00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:02,920
Speaker 10: all feel anybody in the West can winning. That's because

1089
00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:06,280
Speaker 10: so many injuries and so much load management.

1090
00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:08,960
Speaker 3: If you look at Phoenix Booker missed a bunch of time.

1091
00:49:09,239 --> 00:49:11,520
Speaker 3: Lebron's missed a bunch of times. A D's missed a

1092
00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:14,640
Speaker 3: bunch of time. There's been so many Western Conference teams

1093
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:17,200
Speaker 3: that had star guy. Look what the Clippers have had

1094
00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:19,319
Speaker 3: to deal with, and it's allowed some of these other

1095
00:49:19,320 --> 00:49:22,000
Speaker 3: teams that haven't had injuries have been able to be together, you.

1096
00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:23,960
Speaker 1: Know, go win some games and want like Denver. Denver's

1097
00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:24,760
Speaker 1: the number one seed.

1098
00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:27,640
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, well, well we'll see how that holds

1099
00:49:27,719 --> 00:49:30,520
Speaker 3: up as the as these playoffs go on. But now

1100
00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:32,840
Speaker 3: with everybody load and everybody there, I just when I

1101
00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:35,000
Speaker 3: look at the Kings, I just go listen, great, nice season,

1102
00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:37,560
Speaker 3: young guys, but you know you gotta you got to

1103
00:49:37,600 --> 00:49:39,920
Speaker 3: take your lumps on this one. I wouldn't wanted to

1104
00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:43,040
Speaker 3: draw the Lakers, our Golden State. If I were the King,

1105
00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:44,319
Speaker 3: anybody else, I might have picked them.

1106
00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:49,799
Speaker 2: I just hope that everybody Sacramento has been listening to

1107
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:53,120
Speaker 2: VJ and all the other national puns into have been

1108
00:49:53,160 --> 00:49:57,399
Speaker 2: patting you on the head and telling you, great job, Sacramento, job,

1109
00:49:57,640 --> 00:50:01,120
Speaker 2: thanks for coming out. It's very It's like when your

1110
00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:03,560
Speaker 2: kid does something that really surprises you and you're like,

1111
00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:05,200
Speaker 2: wait a minute, I didn't know you had the ability

1112
00:50:05,239 --> 00:50:07,680
Speaker 2: to do that, And it becomes like it's a genuine

1113
00:50:07,719 --> 00:50:08,320
Speaker 2: great job.

1114
00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:10,439
Speaker 1: But you know, I don't expect you to do it again.

1115
00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:11,359
Speaker 1: That's what I mean.

1116
00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:16,960
Speaker 2: Look, seventeen years straight, you all just were watching this

1117
00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:19,200
Speaker 2: from home from the and not from home in the

1118
00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:20,960
Speaker 2: Golden One Center or whatever the hell they called it,

1119
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:22,640
Speaker 2: e reading up in sacrament It's not.

1120
00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:24,919
Speaker 1: Ark on no more. They weren't watching it from there either.

1121
00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:27,680
Speaker 1: That's how long it's been. You weren't watching it from

1122
00:50:27,719 --> 00:50:30,080
Speaker 1: there either. They would sit there on.

1123
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:34,440
Speaker 2: The couch like me and you weekend Warriors sitting there

1124
00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:37,960
Speaker 2: on the couch watching this. And now you've been one

1125
00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:40,839
Speaker 2: of the most consistent teams in the Western Conference, and

1126
00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:42,560
Speaker 2: the whole world's writing you off.

1127
00:50:42,840 --> 00:50:44,319
Speaker 1: I was talking to a couple of people you know

1128
00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:45,880
Speaker 1: on TV who get paid a lot more than me

1129
00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:46,319
Speaker 1: to do this.

1130
00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:49,760
Speaker 2: They're writing them off, You writing them off. Mark Medena's

1131
00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:56,799
Speaker 2: writing you off, dearon Fox. I'm here, baby, I'm here defense, Mark,

1132
00:50:57,040 --> 00:50:57,560
Speaker 2: I get it.

1133
00:50:57,600 --> 00:51:01,799
Speaker 3: Who does nobody does an NBA. I'm with you on that,

1134
00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:05,959
Speaker 3: But you don't want to not play defense against Golden State.

1135
00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:08,839
Speaker 3: The second scoring the Kings with a number one scoring

1136
00:51:08,840 --> 00:51:11,440
Speaker 3: team in basketball. The Warriors were the number two scoring

1137
00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:13,759
Speaker 3: team in the basketball in basketball, So you don't not

1138
00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:16,960
Speaker 3: want to play defense against a team that can score

1139
00:51:17,040 --> 00:51:21,040
Speaker 3: with you. We know that the Warriors can lock in

1140
00:51:21,120 --> 00:51:25,200
Speaker 3: at periods and get stops. We haven't seen that with Sacramento,

1141
00:51:25,239 --> 00:51:28,239
Speaker 3: which is weird because Mike Brown has always been a

1142
00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:29,480
Speaker 3: defensive type.

1143
00:51:29,239 --> 00:51:32,680
Speaker 2: Guy, like a defensive guru style coach. I feel like

1144
00:51:32,719 --> 00:51:35,600
Speaker 2: he said, you know what, you know what, just go

1145
00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:39,319
Speaker 2: get buckets. Yea, all, you know what I'm saying. Most

1146
00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:41,600
Speaker 2: of the time he hits the cruise control, but hey,

1147
00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:45,080
Speaker 2: oh he said, look I got I got three ferraris.

1148
00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:47,480
Speaker 1: Let's let's push it and you know who else.

1149
00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:50,359
Speaker 3: This reminds me of to being that you just said

1150
00:51:50,360 --> 00:51:53,200
Speaker 3: that when you remember those Phoenix Suns teams where they

1151
00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:54,960
Speaker 3: had a rule that once a guy got like in

1152
00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:57,040
Speaker 3: the paint, you let him score. You want you catch

1153
00:51:57,040 --> 00:51:58,759
Speaker 3: the ball out of the neck. You don't let the

1154
00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:00,640
Speaker 3: ball hit the floor, get it out of bounce, you

1155
00:52:00,719 --> 00:52:02,719
Speaker 3: get in it because we just want to go, go go.

1156
00:52:03,080 --> 00:52:06,440
Speaker 3: That worked well in all those regular seasons, all those

1157
00:52:06,560 --> 00:52:10,040
Speaker 3: regular seasons, but everybody knew once you got to the

1158
00:52:10,080 --> 00:52:13,760
Speaker 3: playoffs with Steve Nash and Dan Tony and those Phoenix

1159
00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:18,840
Speaker 3: Suns teams that at some point you have to stop somebody.

1160
00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:21,880
Speaker 3: You just can't outscore because your offense is gonna leave

1161
00:52:21,920 --> 00:52:24,680
Speaker 3: you for about five or six minutes, seven minutes, eight

1162
00:52:24,719 --> 00:52:26,960
Speaker 3: minute stretches. We saw that with Minnesota in the playing game.

1163
00:52:27,040 --> 00:52:29,439
Speaker 3: They had that damn Game one, They had that damn

1164
00:52:29,520 --> 00:52:32,680
Speaker 3: Game one, and then from the five forty two mark

1165
00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:37,959
Speaker 3: to under a minute they had zero points Anthony Towns,

1166
00:52:39,239 --> 00:52:42,720
Speaker 3: no shot attempts in the fourth quarter or over time.

1167
00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:47,240
Speaker 3: So you and you weren't stopping anybody. So what happens

1168
00:52:47,360 --> 00:52:49,480
Speaker 3: You let a team come back, they take the lead,

1169
00:52:49,719 --> 00:52:52,040
Speaker 3: they get momentum, game over.

1170
00:52:52,600 --> 00:52:54,360
Speaker 1: I just like, I give it seven, but I like

1171
00:52:54,400 --> 00:52:55,359
Speaker 1: the five to fifty on the seven.

1172
00:52:55,400 --> 00:52:57,279
Speaker 3: That's why I took seven for the words, because the

1173
00:52:57,280 --> 00:52:59,520
Speaker 3: plus five to fifty was real juicy. But this could

1174
00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:03,000
Speaker 3: be six, man, this really could be six, and you know,

1175
00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:04,600
Speaker 3: but I'll stick with my seven.

1176
00:53:04,680 --> 00:53:06,799
Speaker 1: I like them. They had a good year.

1177
00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:09,440
Speaker 3: And listen, at the end of the day, forty eight wins, guys.

1178
00:53:09,480 --> 00:53:12,160
Speaker 3: It ain't like they won fifty three, fifty four, fifty five.

1179
00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:15,560
Speaker 3: They won forty eight games. They won forty eight games,

1180
00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:17,279
Speaker 3: and I keep looking at this light. They didn't have

1181
00:53:17,360 --> 00:53:19,600
Speaker 3: a bunch of injuries like everybody else did. It got

1182
00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:21,759
Speaker 3: two All Stars, the Aaron Fox has been the best

1183
00:53:21,760 --> 00:53:24,680
Speaker 3: fourth quarter finisher. I love sub bonus s bonus is

1184
00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:27,479
Speaker 3: bona fide. That's he's a stud. That kid can play.

1185
00:53:27,560 --> 00:53:30,680
Speaker 3: He's gonna play fifteen sixteen years in the National Basketball Association,

1186
00:53:30,840 --> 00:53:33,520
Speaker 3: that's for damn sure. But I just think you gotta

1187
00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:35,000
Speaker 3: go through your bumps, man, and this is gonna be

1188
00:53:35,040 --> 00:53:37,279
Speaker 3: their first. But we'll look back two years from now

1189
00:53:37,360 --> 00:53:39,239
Speaker 3: when they're the number one seed. If they keep this

1190
00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:40,960
Speaker 3: up and add, you know, and add some pieces and

1191
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:43,319
Speaker 3: the players grow, we'll look back and go, yeah, them,

1192
00:53:43,480 --> 00:53:45,520
Speaker 3: that's two three years ago. You was talking all that noise.

1193
00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:45,759
Speaker 2: VJ.

1194
00:53:46,080 --> 00:53:48,000
Speaker 3: Go against them Kings now, and I'll be the guy said,

1195
00:53:48,080 --> 00:53:50,200
Speaker 3: nah nah, yeah, I did it when it was safe.

1196
00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:52,239
Speaker 3: The Kings are legit now I'm not going to get

1197
00:53:52,280 --> 00:53:53,640
Speaker 3: I'm gonna take them in this round or take them

1198
00:53:53,640 --> 00:53:55,480
Speaker 3: in this round. I feel the same way about Memphis.

1199
00:53:55,480 --> 00:53:57,480
Speaker 3: I just look at them and I go, yeah, you're lucky.

1200
00:53:57,520 --> 00:53:59,279
Speaker 3: You're getting the Lakers in this. Of course, with the Lakers.

1201
00:53:59,280 --> 00:54:01,920
Speaker 3: Anybody else had to play the Clippers or Phoenix or somebody,

1202
00:54:02,080 --> 00:54:02,800
Speaker 3: Memphis would.

1203
00:54:02,600 --> 00:54:03,440
Speaker 1: Be going home in the first round.

1204
00:54:03,480 --> 00:54:07,680
Speaker 2: In my opinion, well, I think my hottest take because

1205
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:11,440
Speaker 2: the NBA Playoffs would have been Dude. After watching the

1206
00:54:11,520 --> 00:54:17,080
Speaker 2: perimeter players in Oklahoma City, man, I was like, yo, man,

1207
00:54:17,239 --> 00:54:20,880
Speaker 2: maybe Evenesetta they might give them for a series. No, yeah, yeah, no, no,

1208
00:54:20,960 --> 00:54:22,120
Speaker 2: that's what I thought the same.

1209
00:54:22,160 --> 00:54:24,240
Speaker 1: I was like, but last night was just Giddy.

1210
00:54:24,280 --> 00:54:26,960
Speaker 2: What Giddy had like six or eight points signed and

1211
00:54:26,960 --> 00:54:28,879
Speaker 2: and and it's just not there.

1212
00:54:28,960 --> 00:54:30,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, this is exactly.

1213
00:54:30,200 --> 00:54:33,440
Speaker 3: They don't have their they're young, they're in the n

1214
00:54:33,480 --> 00:54:38,040
Speaker 3: b A. Young teams don't win championships. Man, young teams

1215
00:54:38,080 --> 00:54:40,160
Speaker 3: don't do it. You gotta go through the you gotta

1216
00:54:40,200 --> 00:54:42,400
Speaker 3: go through the pain. Only Magic was lucky enough to

1217
00:54:42,400 --> 00:54:44,120
Speaker 3: come in and win as a rookie. Guys, you know

1218
00:54:44,160 --> 00:54:46,240
Speaker 3: what I'm saying. Bird got it after two or three years,

1219
00:54:46,239 --> 00:54:49,120
Speaker 3: but Jordan took him to year seven. Lebron was year

1220
00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:51,719
Speaker 3: eight or nine. Kobe, Kobe and Shack, remember they were

1221
00:54:51,760 --> 00:54:55,640
Speaker 3: getting swept. They were getting swept guys back to back years.

1222
00:54:55,840 --> 00:54:58,439
Speaker 3: Shaq was in year eight, Kobe was in year three

1223
00:54:58,520 --> 00:55:02,000
Speaker 3: or four. It doesn't happen this fast right away. You

1224
00:55:02,120 --> 00:55:04,120
Speaker 3: gotta go through some grown pains. I just think this

1225
00:55:04,280 --> 00:55:06,560
Speaker 3: is one of Sacramento's grown pains. If I could throw

1226
00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:07,759
Speaker 3: some of these, you do with Eastern Conference. We ain't

1227
00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:09,560
Speaker 3: given no love to East Conference. Do any of these

1228
00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:12,240
Speaker 3: first round series grab you at all in the East.

1229
00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:14,920
Speaker 2: The only of them, the only one that grabs me,

1230
00:55:15,080 --> 00:55:17,680
Speaker 2: is the one currently going on right now, as the

1231
00:55:17,719 --> 00:55:19,640
Speaker 2: New York Knicks have a ten point lead on the

1232
00:55:19,680 --> 00:55:23,600
Speaker 2: Cleveland Cavaliers eighty four to seventy four with just under

1233
00:55:23,600 --> 00:55:24,440
Speaker 2: eight minutes left.

1234
00:55:24,680 --> 00:55:25,759
Speaker 1: Let's get into that game.

1235
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:27,959
Speaker 2: Actually on the other side of this break VJ because

1236
00:55:28,160 --> 00:55:31,560

00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:51,239
Speaker 2: you live from the tirerack dot Com Studios, the New

1244
00:55:51,280 --> 00:55:56,440
Speaker 2: York Knicks eighty seven, Cleveland Cavaliers eighty one. Five minutes,

1245
00:55:56,520 --> 00:55:59,120
Speaker 2: thirty seconds left in the fourth quarter, Cleveland's at home.

1246
00:55:59,200 --> 00:56:01,200
Speaker 2: Jalen Bruns and dry in the basket. He puts it

1247
00:56:01,239 --> 00:56:05,680
Speaker 2: in to extend the New York Knicks lead to an eight. Now,

1248
00:56:06,840 --> 00:56:08,800
Speaker 2: this is this is the most interesting series in the

1249
00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:11,719
Speaker 2: Eastern Conference, and I don't even think it's close. I

1250
00:56:11,800 --> 00:56:16,040
Speaker 2: like Cleveland in this series, but I really I like

1251
00:56:16,040 --> 00:56:18,000
Speaker 2: Cleveland to win this series. But I want to take

1252
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:20,360
Speaker 2: a moment to just talk about the New York Knicks

1253
00:56:20,680 --> 00:56:23,880
Speaker 2: and how they just approach the regular season.

1254
00:56:23,960 --> 00:56:27,480
Speaker 1: Nick, I love it. I love it. Thank you, Tom Thibodeau.

1255
00:56:27,400 --> 00:56:30,680
Speaker 2: You old throwback, grizzled veteran of a head coach and

1256
00:56:30,880 --> 00:56:31,640
Speaker 2: makes your guys.

1257
00:56:31,880 --> 00:56:33,920
Speaker 1: You make Julius Randall out there and play.

1258
00:56:34,239 --> 00:56:37,720
Speaker 2: Jalen Brunts is out there playing, Joss Hart's out there playing.

1259
00:56:38,120 --> 00:56:38,759
Speaker 1: I love it all.

1260
00:56:38,840 --> 00:56:42,080
Speaker 2: R J Barrett out there playing unlike this duke teammate.

1261
00:56:42,719 --> 00:56:43,200
Speaker 1: I love it.

1262
00:56:43,239 --> 00:56:44,839
Speaker 2: I just love the fact that the Knicks are. They

1263
00:56:44,840 --> 00:56:46,840
Speaker 2: come out, they play hard, they play defense. They're not

1264
00:56:46,880 --> 00:56:49,000
Speaker 2: a great three point shooting team, and it may not

1265
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:52,120
Speaker 2: get them too far right now, but in this series

1266
00:56:52,239 --> 00:56:53,680
Speaker 2: or in this postseason run.

1267
00:56:53,960 --> 00:56:55,919
Speaker 1: But I think the future is bright in New York.

1268
00:56:56,239 --> 00:56:57,960
Speaker 3: The future is bright in New York as long as

1269
00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:00,960
Speaker 3: the management gets it together there too. Jalen Brunson was

1270
00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:03,239
Speaker 3: just huge. We were talking doing a commercial breakubout de

1271
00:57:03,440 --> 00:57:06,840
Speaker 3: rail derail, the Mavericks not doing commercial break before we

1272
00:57:06,920 --> 00:57:08,480
Speaker 3: came in the studio. We're in an engineering room, just

1273
00:57:08,520 --> 00:57:09,800
Speaker 3: sitting there and waiting for our turn to come in.

1274
00:57:10,200 --> 00:57:12,399
Speaker 3: And you made it the point that they adn't even

1275
00:57:12,440 --> 00:57:14,560
Speaker 3: offer him like you. You didn't even offer him. You

1276
00:57:14,560 --> 00:57:15,960
Speaker 3: didn't even offer him any money. It was just a

1277
00:57:16,040 --> 00:57:17,000
Speaker 3: foregone conclusion.

1278
00:57:17,280 --> 00:57:19,480
Speaker 1: His dad's theirs. Dad's connected to the Knicks. He's from there.

1279
00:57:19,560 --> 00:57:21,320
Speaker 3: He's gonna go sign with the Knicks and go play

1280
00:57:21,360 --> 00:57:24,200
Speaker 3: with the Knicks. And he has been the main cog

1281
00:57:24,360 --> 00:57:27,520
Speaker 3: that has really turned this thing around. Julius Randall's still

1282
00:57:27,560 --> 00:57:30,240
Speaker 3: the same guy somebody else in this series though. I

1283
00:57:30,360 --> 00:57:32,200
Speaker 3: was talking to Brandon before we came in to do

1284
00:57:32,320 --> 00:57:34,760
Speaker 3: the show, and I was talking about Donovan Mitchell and

1285
00:57:34,880 --> 00:57:38,120
Speaker 3: I get why people like him, but I've never in

1286
00:57:38,280 --> 00:57:41,560
Speaker 3: his career looked at him Martin and said, man, there's

1287
00:57:41,600 --> 00:57:42,280
Speaker 3: a guy you.

1288
00:57:42,360 --> 00:57:43,760
Speaker 1: Can go win a championship.

1289
00:57:43,880 --> 00:57:46,480
Speaker 3: With he's a good player, he's a I don't like

1290
00:57:46,560 --> 00:57:49,160
Speaker 3: saying nice because that feels like you're demeaning his ability.

1291
00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:51,560
Speaker 3: He's really a good player. He's a great player. But

1292
00:57:51,720 --> 00:57:53,960
Speaker 3: to me, he's like a Damar Deroz and he's like

1293
00:57:54,040 --> 00:57:56,520
Speaker 3: a Zach Levine. He's like, it's it's great.

1294
00:57:56,680 --> 00:57:59,280
Speaker 2: It's great theater for a regular season when you're into

1295
00:57:59,520 --> 00:58:02,040
Speaker 2: when you're in at the game live and he's dropping

1296
00:58:02,120 --> 00:58:04,240
Speaker 2: forty and dunking and flying through the air and doing

1297
00:58:04,240 --> 00:58:07,120
Speaker 2: all these great things. But in the postseason, you have

1298
00:58:07,280 --> 00:58:10,160
Speaker 2: to turn that into winning basketball. And when I watched

1299
00:58:10,240 --> 00:58:12,680
Speaker 2: Donovan Mitchell, he had plenty of opportunities to do it

1300
00:58:12,760 --> 00:58:15,120
Speaker 2: in the Western Conference and at least try to get deep, and.

1301
00:58:15,160 --> 00:58:16,280
Speaker 1: He just never could.

1302
00:58:16,600 --> 00:58:20,560
Speaker 3: He'd have great individual games, but it wasn't winning basketball.

1303
00:58:20,680 --> 00:58:23,920
Speaker 3: So I picked him to win this series. But the

1304
00:58:24,040 --> 00:58:27,120
Speaker 3: more I'm sitting here thinking about my opinion on the

1305
00:58:27,240 --> 00:58:30,520
Speaker 3: Warriors and the Kings veterans versus young guys, I look

1306
00:58:30,600 --> 00:58:32,840
Speaker 3: at this serious and I go, Juliz Reynolds a VET.

1307
00:58:33,320 --> 00:58:35,720
Speaker 3: You know, Brunson's a VET. They got veteran guys on

1308
00:58:35,800 --> 00:58:40,480
Speaker 3: this team, this Cleveland team, aside Donovan Mitchell, they're young.

1309
00:58:40,920 --> 00:58:43,200
Speaker 3: They ain't never been through this before. They never felt

1310
00:58:43,200 --> 00:58:45,280
Speaker 3: this type of pressure before. They ain't never felt this

1311
00:58:45,360 --> 00:58:47,800
Speaker 3: type of expectation before. And I think that's where a

1312
00:58:47,840 --> 00:58:50,200
Speaker 3: lot of these young NBA teams crumbling. You once again,

1313
00:58:50,240 --> 00:58:52,840
Speaker 3: you have to go through the rough spots in your career.

1314
00:58:52,920 --> 00:58:54,040
Speaker 3: You gotta go through the punches.

1315
00:58:54,040 --> 00:58:57,040
Speaker 2: You gotta get eliminated a few times early as a four,

1316
00:58:57,160 --> 00:58:59,120
Speaker 2: or as a three, or sometimes as a six. You

1317
00:58:59,120 --> 00:59:01,800
Speaker 2: gotta get eliminator early and go home and work harder

1318
00:59:01,840 --> 00:59:03,920
Speaker 2: and come back. But I'm with you, man, the Knicks.

1319
00:59:04,440 --> 00:59:08,960
Speaker 2: The NBA is better when the Knicks, Celtics, Lakers, When

1320
00:59:09,040 --> 00:59:11,640
Speaker 2: teams like that are good, the NBA is It's like

1321
00:59:11,680 --> 00:59:13,439
Speaker 2: the NFL, right when the Cowboys are good.

1322
00:59:13,680 --> 00:59:16,280
Speaker 1: The NFL is just better. Guys. It's just it just is.

1323
00:59:16,360 --> 00:59:18,400
Speaker 3: Because you either love him or you hate him, and

1324
00:59:18,440 --> 00:59:19,720
Speaker 3: the Knicks is the same way. He's got the whole

1325
00:59:19,760 --> 00:59:21,920
Speaker 3: New York field. Either love the New York flair or

1326
00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:22,360
Speaker 3: you dope.

1327
00:59:22,560 --> 00:59:25,640
Speaker 2: I would say, uh, you know, I don't know if

1328
00:59:25,680 --> 00:59:27,640
Speaker 2: I think you can probably win a title with Donovan Mitchell.

1329
00:59:27,680 --> 00:59:30,160
Speaker 2: I do think he as your guy. I think he's

1330
00:59:30,280 --> 00:59:32,480
Speaker 2: nice bro and guy. I don't think that's a the

1331
00:59:32,560 --> 00:59:34,000
Speaker 2: meaning thing to say. I know you just said that,

1332
00:59:34,080 --> 00:59:35,720
Speaker 2: But to me, when you say somebody he's nice to me,

1333
00:59:35,800 --> 00:59:37,280
Speaker 2: that's one of the higher uh.

1334
00:59:37,560 --> 00:59:39,480
Speaker 3: Well, because you know, people go, he's a nice player.

1335
00:59:39,560 --> 00:59:41,640
Speaker 3: When they say like, I say, like, no, no, no, no,

1336
00:59:42,400 --> 00:59:45,160
Speaker 3: he's not he nice like he got it? Yeah, No,

1337
00:59:45,240 --> 00:59:47,520
Speaker 3: I would say, how people go, he's a nice player.

1338
00:59:47,720 --> 00:59:50,480
Speaker 1: That's not a bat. But I do think it's interesting

1339
00:59:51,880 --> 00:59:52,320
Speaker 1: of the.

1340
00:59:53,800 --> 00:59:56,080
Speaker 2: In Utah fallout, for lack of a better term, right,

1341
00:59:56,360 --> 00:59:58,080
Speaker 2: because that's the teams we were talking about. We saw

1342
00:59:58,200 --> 00:59:59,840
Speaker 2: Utah with Donovan Mitchell as he goes and drives the

1343
01:00:00,640 --> 01:00:02,720
Speaker 2: he's at the last five points for Cleveland as they

1344
01:00:02,960 --> 01:00:04,920
Speaker 2: now it's an eighty nine I'm sorry, ninety two to

1345
01:00:05,000 --> 01:00:07,280
Speaker 2: eighty nine point game with three minutes and takes bacon

1346
01:00:07,360 --> 01:00:09,959
Speaker 2: like thirty five right now. You got the last seven

1347
01:00:10,040 --> 01:00:12,640
Speaker 2: twelve points in the fourth quarter. This is part of

1348
01:00:12,680 --> 01:00:14,360
Speaker 2: the reason why I think he's the type of guy

1349
01:00:14,440 --> 01:00:16,800
Speaker 2: you can win a title with as one of your

1350
01:00:16,840 --> 01:00:20,560
Speaker 2: better players, as one of your primary ball handlers, because he, to.

1351
01:00:20,640 --> 01:00:22,600
Speaker 1: Me, is a stud. But are you win it with

1352
01:00:22,720 --> 01:00:23,760
Speaker 1: him as your a one?

1353
01:00:23,880 --> 01:00:26,600
Speaker 2: To hear me though, Okay, I think when we look

1354
01:00:26,720 --> 01:00:29,040
Speaker 2: at Okay, we talk a lot about the quote unquote

1355
01:00:29,080 --> 01:00:32,080
Speaker 2: divorce in terms of Brady and Belichick, not saying the

1356
01:00:32,160 --> 01:00:34,240
Speaker 2: Utah Jazz were anywhere near that level of Brady and

1357
01:00:34,240 --> 01:00:36,960
Speaker 2: Belichick obviously not. Yeah, but when you look at the

1358
01:00:37,120 --> 01:00:41,760
Speaker 2: divorce of the Utah Jazz, Quinn Snyder lost today by

1359
01:00:41,840 --> 01:00:46,200
Speaker 2: thirty Okay, Rudy Gobert earlier this week punched the teammate

1360
01:00:46,280 --> 01:00:49,680
Speaker 2: in the chest, lightly pushed the teammate in the chest, right.

1361
01:00:49,640 --> 01:00:50,800
Speaker 1: But it was just still stupid to do.

1362
01:00:50,920 --> 01:00:54,320
Speaker 2: But also the Minnesota Timberwolves, and even before that, you

1363
01:00:54,400 --> 01:00:56,960
Speaker 2: may remember last week, I asth Medina, this is a

1364
01:00:57,080 --> 01:00:58,120
Speaker 2: disaster in Minnesota.

1365
01:00:58,240 --> 01:00:59,600
Speaker 1: That's before anybody punched anybody.

1366
01:00:59,600 --> 01:01:02,200
Speaker 2: That's true, Okay, because you're in the exact same place

1367
01:01:02,560 --> 01:01:04,800
Speaker 2: eight seed playing that you were, and you don't have

1368
01:01:04,920 --> 01:01:07,960
Speaker 2: four first round picks anymore, because you're trading for a guy, right,

1369
01:01:08,120 --> 01:01:11,040
Speaker 2: for a shot blocker. Donovan Mitchell got MVP votes this year.

1370
01:01:12,240 --> 01:01:15,840
Speaker 2: Like when I sit and look at the three main

1371
01:01:16,080 --> 01:01:19,680
Speaker 2: parties involved, I'm not saying Donovan Mitchell should have been

1372
01:01:19,720 --> 01:01:23,240
Speaker 2: the MVP. However, he was pulling in some third and

1373
01:01:23,320 --> 01:01:26,320
Speaker 2: fourth and fifth place votes. One of the more dynamic

1374
01:01:26,400 --> 01:01:30,560
Speaker 2: scorers in this league. This season especially, it seems to

1375
01:01:30,760 --> 01:01:35,800
Speaker 2: me we just might be seeing a different Donovan Mitchell.

1376
01:01:35,960 --> 01:01:37,560
Speaker 2: I kind of disagree with you about some of his

1377
01:01:37,640 --> 01:01:42,360
Speaker 2: postseason moments because I remember verse the second year, him

1378
01:01:42,560 --> 01:01:45,439
Speaker 2: going head to head with Russell Westbrook in the second half.

1379
01:01:45,720 --> 01:01:49,320
Speaker 1: You remember that it was head to head, high level theater,

1380
01:01:49,480 --> 01:01:51,600
Speaker 1: him and him and Murray in the bubble, him and

1381
01:01:51,640 --> 01:01:53,960
Speaker 1: and him and Murray, and then you know, everybody wants

1382
01:01:53,960 --> 01:01:55,600
Speaker 1: to say, but it was not bubble.

1383
01:01:55,680 --> 01:01:58,120
Speaker 3: I don't care. It was basketball. Just the moment itself

1384
01:01:58,200 --> 01:01:59,760
Speaker 3: was they were, they were hooping.

1385
01:02:00,480 --> 01:02:04,040
Speaker 2: So I've seen Donovan Mitchell, and obviously not in a

1386
01:02:04,160 --> 01:02:07,400
Speaker 2: title in a title environment, I've seen him in winn

1387
01:02:07,440 --> 01:02:10,280
Speaker 2: and go home environments seem to play at a higher

1388
01:02:10,360 --> 01:02:12,960
Speaker 2: level than he does normally. I can see that going

1389
01:02:13,160 --> 01:02:15,680
Speaker 2: through him and him being a type of player that

1390
01:02:15,840 --> 01:02:16,320
Speaker 2: can lead you.

1391
01:02:16,400 --> 01:02:17,320
Speaker 1: But when you look at the.

1392
01:02:17,440 --> 01:02:22,320
Speaker 2: Jazz, Rudy Gobert, they're not gonna play They're not gonna

1393
01:02:22,320 --> 01:02:23,439
Speaker 2: play seven playoff games.

1394
01:02:23,840 --> 01:02:24,520
Speaker 1: The Timberwolves.

1395
01:02:24,560 --> 01:02:26,720
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, Quinn Snyder, He's not gonna

1396
01:02:26,720 --> 01:02:30,280
Speaker 2: play seven playoff games, right, And like you know, they

1397
01:02:30,360 --> 01:02:32,040
Speaker 2: might look at you know the thing, there was a

1398
01:02:32,080 --> 01:02:35,960
Speaker 2: lot of problem. It sounds look, I mean, I know

1399
01:02:35,960 --> 01:02:39,120
Speaker 2: where you're lying. There's a worldwide virus going around. Your

1400
01:02:39,160 --> 01:02:42,400
Speaker 2: boy comes in and he's licking everybody's tapeer coorders. You know,

1401
01:02:43,000 --> 01:02:45,640
Speaker 2: I'm not saying, Look, it's indicative of a greater thing.

1402
01:02:45,800 --> 01:02:48,520
Speaker 1: He makes dumb decisions. It's indicative of a bigger thing.

1403
01:02:48,640 --> 01:02:50,560
Speaker 1: Just does It's indicative of a bigger thing to me.

1404
01:02:50,920 --> 01:02:52,680
Speaker 2: And it see like when you see now in these

1405
01:02:52,760 --> 01:02:55,480
Speaker 2: new environments, Donovan Mitchell come down, had twelve points in

1406
01:02:55,520 --> 01:02:57,440
Speaker 2: a fourth quarter as the Cavaliers on a nine to

1407
01:02:57,480 --> 01:02:59,320
Speaker 2: zero run les Steve just Saker give the rest of

1408
01:02:59,360 --> 01:03:01,520
Speaker 2: the info. It just seems like, you know what I'm saying,

1409
01:03:02,000 --> 01:03:04,120
Speaker 2: he's in a good spot. Like he's in a good spot,

1410
01:03:04,720 --> 01:03:06,880
Speaker 2: and I like the way he is presenting. But as

1458
01:05:17,160 --> 01:05:20,120
Speaker 8: Updating the NBA Nicks up by two just over a

1459
01:05:20,280 --> 01:05:22,000
Speaker 8: minute to go at Cleveland.

1460
01:05:22,040 --> 01:05:24,960
Speaker 1: Back to year, Thanks Steve and Donovan.

1461
01:05:25,080 --> 01:05:28,600
Speaker 2: Mitchell just passed at thirty seven points thirty eight on

1462
01:05:28,640 --> 01:05:31,360
Speaker 2: the last free throw, just passed. I think he said

1463
01:05:31,440 --> 01:05:36,240
Speaker 2: the most points in a Cavalier player debut. I don't

1464
01:05:36,280 --> 01:05:38,560
Speaker 2: know who had the initially, but I imagine had to

1465
01:05:38,600 --> 01:05:39,400
Speaker 2: be Lebron James.

1466
01:05:40,200 --> 01:05:42,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's either Haim or maybe like a Brad Doughtery

1467
01:05:42,840 --> 01:05:44,360
Speaker 3: or somebody like that. It would have to have been

1468
01:05:44,760 --> 01:05:46,640
Speaker 3: that I can think about of that, you know, of

1469
01:05:46,760 --> 01:05:50,200
Speaker 3: the Cavaliers history. Was probably it Probably it probably was Lebron.

1470
01:05:50,840 --> 01:05:53,640
Speaker 2: Also huge Pitt Peeve, don't put the record up there

1471
01:05:53,800 --> 01:05:55,520
Speaker 2: unless you're gonna show whose record.

1472
01:05:55,320 --> 01:05:59,240
Speaker 1: Just got broken. As Jalen drives, he drives the basket.

1473
01:05:59,360 --> 01:06:02,280
Speaker 2: Ninety nine ninety five, New York has a four point

1474
01:06:02,320 --> 01:06:05,480
Speaker 2: lead with thirty five point four seconds left. Mark coming

1475
01:06:05,520 --> 01:06:07,600
Speaker 2: to you live from the Tireck dot Com studios. What

1476
01:06:07,640 --> 01:06:09,960
Speaker 2: do you think Mark Cuban's doing. He's seven hundred and

1477
01:06:09,960 --> 01:06:12,320
Speaker 2: fifty thousand dollars lighter, but he should be watching this

1478
01:06:12,440 --> 01:06:16,080
Speaker 2: right now, like thinking, dang Man. Jalen Bruss took out

1479
01:06:16,080 --> 01:06:18,600
Speaker 2: the same haircut, same same number.

1480
01:06:18,880 --> 01:06:20,520
Speaker 1: Look at his take right here, right at him with

1481
01:06:20,520 --> 01:06:20,840
Speaker 1: the level.

1482
01:06:20,840 --> 01:06:23,320
Speaker 2: But look at that defense through Cheddy Osmin and Evan Mobley.

1483
01:06:23,960 --> 01:06:26,000
Speaker 2: Cool by the way, I think Evan Mobley's going to

1484
01:06:26,040 --> 01:06:29,560
Speaker 2: be a good player. But I think this postseason is

1485
01:06:29,600 --> 01:06:31,720
Speaker 2: where you see, hey, buddy, you're gonna have to get

1486
01:06:31,760 --> 01:06:33,920
Speaker 2: that diet in order and put some weight on. As

1487
01:06:34,080 --> 01:06:36,439
Speaker 2: he's talk to his ion, see if maybe y'all can't

1488
01:06:36,520 --> 01:06:38,480
Speaker 2: swap strategies there, but watch.

1489
01:06:38,400 --> 01:06:38,800
Speaker 1: Him right here.

1490
01:06:38,840 --> 01:06:41,120
Speaker 3: Look he doesn't. There is no there's no effort to

1491
01:06:41,200 --> 01:06:43,360
Speaker 3: get over there to even block that shot. Game is

1492
01:06:43,440 --> 01:06:46,600
Speaker 3: on the line under forty seconds. Brunton has been in

1493
01:06:46,680 --> 01:06:49,560
Speaker 3: this bag the last four five straight possessions. And you

1494
01:06:49,720 --> 01:06:51,720
Speaker 3: get over there and you don't even leave your feet,

1495
01:06:51,800 --> 01:06:54,840
Speaker 3: your feet or nailed to the damn floor. Come on, man,

1496
01:06:55,200 --> 01:06:56,760
Speaker 3: and this is the type of stuff you see and

1497
01:06:56,840 --> 01:06:59,360
Speaker 3: you watch it, you go, dude, like, don't tell me

1498
01:06:59,480 --> 01:07:02,840
Speaker 3: how great he's a great young dude, great young players.

1499
01:07:02,960 --> 01:07:04,680
Speaker 3: What they would have done is left their feet and

1500
01:07:04,760 --> 01:07:07,360
Speaker 3: attempted to block a left handed layer when you already

1501
01:07:07,400 --> 01:07:09,880
Speaker 3: got a defender between the ball carrier. Excise me, the

1502
01:07:09,920 --> 01:07:12,480
Speaker 3: ball dribbler, the ball handler, which is Brunton and the

1503
01:07:12,560 --> 01:07:14,960
Speaker 3: who if you come across man and use that length

1504
01:07:15,040 --> 01:07:16,920
Speaker 3: in that explosive junk, that's a block.

1505
01:07:16,760 --> 01:07:19,440
Speaker 1: Shot right there. He didn't even leave the floor. And

1506
01:07:19,560 --> 01:07:20,800
Speaker 1: that's where the young comes in.

1507
01:07:20,920 --> 01:07:23,840
Speaker 3: Man, That's where the young mentality of never being there before,

1508
01:07:24,160 --> 01:07:25,120
Speaker 3: that's where that comes in.

1509
01:07:25,240 --> 01:07:25,400
Speaker 4: Man.

1510
01:07:25,480 --> 01:07:28,160
Speaker 2: Now, Donovan Mitchell's gotta go save this game, or like

1511
01:07:28,240 --> 01:07:30,200
Speaker 2: I said, we're gonna be looking at a thirty eight

1512
01:07:30,280 --> 01:07:32,760
Speaker 2: point performance for him and a game won at home

1513
01:07:33,280 --> 01:07:36,040
Speaker 2: and a loss. It's just not you know, it's his

1514
01:07:36,200 --> 01:07:39,360
Speaker 2: production just doesn't always lead to w's. Let's see if

1515
01:07:39,400 --> 01:07:44,360
Speaker 2: he can save him here, Oh that was found. Jared

1516
01:07:44,480 --> 01:07:49,080
Speaker 2: Allen just dunked the ball through the win Julius almost

1517
01:07:49,120 --> 01:07:51,840
Speaker 2: shut him out of bounds on that. But as noways

1518
01:07:51,880 --> 01:07:55,400
Speaker 2: see the Knicks inbounding with thirty one point six seconds left,

1519
01:07:56,040 --> 01:07:58,760
Speaker 2: looked like Cleveland's gonna play it out and play some defense.

1520
01:07:58,760 --> 01:08:01,280
Speaker 2: See if they can't get the ball back down to

1521
01:08:01,640 --> 01:08:04,760
Speaker 2: Here's Cheddy Osman and guarding Jalen Brunson top of the key.

1522
01:08:05,080 --> 01:08:07,439
Speaker 2: Brunston dribbling over the left side, dribbling a clock down

1523
01:08:07,520 --> 01:08:09,600
Speaker 2: to get the last shot of the shot clock here

1524
01:08:09,600 --> 01:08:10,680
Speaker 2: with about seven seconds left.

1525
01:08:10,880 --> 01:08:12,560
Speaker 3: All they got to do is play defense in that foul.

1526
01:08:12,600 --> 01:08:14,920
Speaker 3: Here's something else you said about them. Two man, Brunton's

1527
01:08:14,920 --> 01:08:15,320
Speaker 3: in this bag.

1528
01:08:15,360 --> 01:08:17,960
Speaker 1: Look at this ah. But you don't get on the glass,

1529
01:08:18,240 --> 01:08:20,639
Speaker 1: Evan Mobley. Miss. If you don't get on the glass,

1530
01:08:21,479 --> 01:08:23,360
Speaker 1: that is a tough way to go. Yeah, you don't

1531
01:08:23,360 --> 01:08:25,240
Speaker 1: get on it. You don't. You don't box out.

1532
01:08:25,400 --> 01:08:27,320
Speaker 2: But something you said about the Knicks, which is really

1533
01:08:27,400 --> 01:08:29,519
Speaker 2: really interesting, you said, the future is right for them.

1534
01:08:29,600 --> 01:08:32,240
Speaker 1: I'll give you some props on this one because they

1535
01:08:32,320 --> 01:08:33,439
Speaker 1: are New York. You're right.

1536
01:08:33,800 --> 01:08:36,960
Speaker 3: They could land a big time free agent and add

1537
01:08:37,280 --> 01:08:40,360
Speaker 3: to what they have now. They could make a big

1538
01:08:40,560 --> 01:08:44,040
Speaker 3: leap this summer towards next year. Now I know the

1539
01:08:44,160 --> 01:08:46,559
Speaker 3: name like Damon Little has been floated out there. I'm

1540
01:08:46,600 --> 01:08:48,280
Speaker 3: not sure how him and Brunton would have worked together,

1541
01:08:48,360 --> 01:08:50,479
Speaker 3: both at the guard position in the back court, but

1542
01:08:50,680 --> 01:08:54,000
Speaker 3: if they can somehow. It's New York, so there is

1543
01:08:54,200 --> 01:08:56,720
Speaker 3: no Oh do you want to go? Everybody wants to

1544
01:08:56,800 --> 01:08:59,680
Speaker 3: go to Los Angeles or New York. Okay, I've been

1545
01:08:59,720 --> 01:09:01,880
Speaker 3: to both, lived in both. Trust me, you want to

1546
01:09:01,920 --> 01:09:04,720
Speaker 3: be in those two places. They could grab somebody this

1547
01:09:04,840 --> 01:09:07,920
Speaker 3: summer man and actually really elevate this two more to

1548
01:09:08,040 --> 01:09:11,679
Speaker 3: your point of the future is bright. Julius is bona fide.

1549
01:09:12,080 --> 01:09:14,880
Speaker 3: You got, you got Jalen Brunson. They got nice pieces

1550
01:09:14,920 --> 01:09:18,520
Speaker 3: all around him. They are just a free agent acquisition.

1551
01:09:18,600 --> 01:09:21,680
Speaker 3: They are a free agent superstar away from being a

1552
01:09:21,760 --> 01:09:25,400
Speaker 3: fifty seven, fifty nine, sixty win type team and the

1553
01:09:25,560 --> 01:09:29,800
Speaker 3: Knicks being back. I think to real prominent, real prominence

1554
01:09:30,080 --> 01:09:30,719
Speaker 3: of the NBA.

1555
01:09:30,920 --> 01:09:33,360
Speaker 2: That's what hurt them. I think that's what people just

1556
01:09:33,400 --> 01:09:35,800
Speaker 2: missed it. They got a big time free aging last year.

1557
01:09:36,240 --> 01:09:38,639
Speaker 2: Yeah true, you know what I'm saying, And nobody really

1558
01:09:38,680 --> 01:09:40,200
Speaker 2: wanted to see it in that way.

1559
01:09:40,840 --> 01:09:42,479
Speaker 1: But like we're talking about.

1560
01:09:42,240 --> 01:09:46,360
Speaker 2: Off the air, Luca was hurt last postseason. Jalen Brunson

1561
01:09:46,760 --> 01:09:49,400
Speaker 2: was the one who broke down the youthah j He

1562
01:09:49,479 --> 01:09:52,719
Speaker 2: put the jazz to bed right. He had Rudy Gobert,

1563
01:09:53,040 --> 01:09:56,719
Speaker 2: he was Jalen Bruston is chart than me had Rudy

1564
01:09:56,760 --> 01:09:59,880
Speaker 2: Gobert jumping playing hopscotch in depend he did he did

1565
01:10:00,600 --> 01:10:01,160
Speaker 2: with his post.

1566
01:10:03,160 --> 01:10:05,400
Speaker 1: He got the most old man game you could find

1567
01:10:05,960 --> 01:10:07,479
Speaker 1: to be a guy under thirty.

1568
01:10:07,640 --> 01:10:09,040
Speaker 2: And so I just I love the way that they

1569
01:10:09,080 --> 01:10:11,320
Speaker 2: play and I think that a guy like guys like

1570
01:10:11,439 --> 01:10:14,000
Speaker 2: Julius Randall. You know, he's bounced around a little bit.

1571
01:10:14,320 --> 01:10:16,639
Speaker 2: I'm like said, he's not necessarily going to be He's

1572
01:10:16,680 --> 01:10:18,439
Speaker 2: not the star. He's not gonna you know what I'm saying,

1573
01:10:18,439 --> 01:10:21,280
Speaker 2: He's not gonna be the best player in the championship team.

1574
01:10:21,600 --> 01:10:26,040
Speaker 1: But contributor, good player, plays hard, plays tough. That's why

1575
01:10:26,160 --> 01:10:28,559
Speaker 1: this this Knicks team is tough. I like that a lot.

1576
01:10:29,160 --> 01:10:31,280
Speaker 1: Yeah they did, Yeah, they did almost get Donovan.

1577
01:10:31,920 --> 01:10:34,920
Speaker 3: Donovan Mitchell was the guy that everybody thought was going

1578
01:10:35,000 --> 01:10:38,439
Speaker 3: to New York and then Cleveland came in with the

1579
01:10:39,080 --> 01:10:41,280
Speaker 3: with the huge trade. But they thought if he'd have

1580
01:10:41,360 --> 01:10:44,040
Speaker 3: got he'd got to free agency or was going to

1581
01:10:44,200 --> 01:10:45,759
Speaker 3: get traded to the Knicks.

1582
01:10:45,840 --> 01:10:48,800
Speaker 1: That was the start. That was the guy that people thought, hey,

1583
01:10:48,840 --> 01:10:49,720
Speaker 1: you give us this guy.

1584
01:10:49,800 --> 01:10:53,439
Speaker 2: But once again, Jalen Brunson, his points, his game today,

1585
01:10:53,560 --> 01:10:56,920
Speaker 2: would it lead to a win? Donovan Mitchell thirty shots,

1586
01:10:57,000 --> 01:10:59,880
Speaker 2: thirty eight points, a loss. It's just the facts, guys.

1587
01:10:59,920 --> 01:11:01,880
Speaker 2: I'm not trying to I'm not trying to knock him,

1588
01:11:02,160 --> 01:11:04,960
Speaker 2: but the facts are the facts. Thirty shots, thirty.

1589
01:11:04,680 --> 01:11:07,280
Speaker 3: Eight points at home in a game one and you

1590
01:11:07,439 --> 01:11:11,400
Speaker 3: lose the other guy comes in with a win. That's

1591
01:11:12,160 --> 01:11:14,320
Speaker 3: like this series is now now we I think our

1592
01:11:14,360 --> 01:11:17,080
Speaker 3: pick looks bad. Bro, if this is what we're watching,

1593
01:11:17,560 --> 01:11:19,960
Speaker 3: this is what we're gonna get. I mean, somebody else

1594
01:11:19,960 --> 01:11:21,240
Speaker 3: has got to look up. I look up and down

1595
01:11:21,320 --> 01:11:24,040
Speaker 3: I'm watching. I'm looking at the stats. Garland thirteen shots

1596
01:11:24,479 --> 01:11:24,760
Speaker 3: I need.

1597
01:11:24,880 --> 01:11:27,599
Speaker 1: I need more. I need thirteen shots.

1598
01:11:27,640 --> 01:11:28,120
Speaker 11: I need more.

1599
01:11:29,040 --> 01:11:31,559
Speaker 1: I will say I don't like the matchup.

1600
01:11:31,640 --> 01:11:33,679
Speaker 2: If I'm a Cleveland fan, I don't like the matchup

1601
01:11:33,680 --> 01:11:36,280
Speaker 2: of Julius Randall against Evan Mobley.

1602
01:11:36,640 --> 01:11:38,280
Speaker 1: Evan Mobley again and they're biggs.

1603
01:11:39,120 --> 01:11:41,240
Speaker 2: Well, I don't mind so much against Jared Allen, but

1604
01:11:41,560 --> 01:11:43,920
Speaker 2: because he's a stronger, but Evan Mobley is not. He

1605
01:11:44,080 --> 01:11:46,599
Speaker 2: needs to get, as Shannon Sharp was saying, more bricks

1606
01:11:46,640 --> 01:11:49,479
Speaker 2: in his back pocket. He's gotta put on some he's

1607
01:11:49,479 --> 01:11:52,919
Speaker 2: gotta get a little light. He's got to get stronger

1608
01:11:53,080 --> 01:11:55,320
Speaker 2: in the post. He's gotta be able to maintain his position.

1609
01:11:55,520 --> 01:11:59,240
Speaker 2: He's got like that's gonna be the next step for Cleveland.

1610
01:11:59,520 --> 01:12:00,960
Speaker 2: That's why I think the future is a little bit

1611
01:12:00,960 --> 01:12:03,760
Speaker 2: broader for New York because I think this Cleveland team

1612
01:12:03,840 --> 01:12:05,479
Speaker 2: might be what they have. You know what, I'm saying

1613
01:12:05,520 --> 01:12:07,320
Speaker 2: this team might be set in New York. You understand

1614
01:12:07,320 --> 01:12:09,360
Speaker 2: they're gonna be out there trying to make things happen,

1615
01:12:09,680 --> 01:12:13,200
Speaker 2: trying to make like you said, they're gonna be a

1616
01:12:13,240 --> 01:12:16,240
Speaker 2: free agent destination, or at least beat playing in the

1617
01:12:16,320 --> 01:12:17,719
Speaker 2: games for big free agents.

1618
01:12:18,200 --> 01:12:21,280
Speaker 1: We had ten minutes left before the start of what

1619
01:12:21,400 --> 01:12:24,680
Speaker 1: they're calling the I eighty series. I like I like

1620
01:12:24,760 --> 01:12:27,360
Speaker 1: the Bay. I like the band bashing the Bay. I

1621
01:12:27,479 --> 01:12:29,280
Speaker 1: heard the I eighty series earlier. I was like, bash

1622
01:12:29,360 --> 01:12:30,840
Speaker 1: in the Bay. It's an hour and a half. Is

1623
01:12:30,840 --> 01:12:31,320
Speaker 1: still debate?

1624
01:12:31,520 --> 01:12:34,000
Speaker 3: Just real quick on Brunton, just the comparison between him

1625
01:12:34,000 --> 01:12:37,679
Speaker 3: and donvid Mitchell Brunton twenty four shots, twenty seven points

1626
01:12:37,840 --> 01:12:41,040
Speaker 3: in a win. So his twenty seven points, let's to

1627
01:12:41,160 --> 01:12:45,040
Speaker 3: a win, Donovan's thirty eight. Let's pull loss like this.

1628
01:12:45,920 --> 01:12:48,040
Speaker 3: There's something there, guys. It's it's it's you know, you

1629
01:12:48,120 --> 01:12:50,640
Speaker 3: could put the numbers up. But like Mark Medina was

1630
01:12:50,640 --> 01:12:54,320
Speaker 3: saying about Luca, is it always winning basketball at the.

1631
01:12:54,400 --> 01:12:54,880
Speaker 1: End of the day.

1632
01:12:55,000 --> 01:12:59,519
Speaker 3: So, but anyway, I eighty because everything is always a highway, dude,

1633
01:13:00,280 --> 01:13:03,160
Speaker 3: ninety yes, if well, back East, when the Redskins played

1634
01:13:03,200 --> 01:13:05,759
Speaker 3: up Ravens it's the it's the it's the four ninety

1635
01:13:05,800 --> 01:13:08,320
Speaker 3: five or the I ninety five when the Giants and

1636
01:13:08,320 --> 01:13:09,800
Speaker 3: Philly play. Because I gotta do is get on I

1637
01:13:09,960 --> 01:13:12,320
Speaker 3: ninety five and just ride right down and go play

1638
01:13:12,360 --> 01:13:13,160
Speaker 3: it like it's always.

1639
01:13:13,240 --> 01:13:14,599
Speaker 1: It doesn't almost have to be a highway.

1640
01:13:14,840 --> 01:13:19,320
Speaker 2: I do wonder Sacramento, I mean, Golden State rather has

1641
01:13:20,240 --> 01:13:26,479
Speaker 2: historically bad road record, especially for a defending champion. Does

1642
01:13:26,560 --> 01:13:28,559
Speaker 2: this count as a road game? Should have got Medino

1643
01:13:28,640 --> 01:13:31,000
Speaker 2: on this? Does it count as a road Yes? No,

1644
01:13:31,280 --> 01:13:33,080
Speaker 2: I mean like nobody, I mean, I mean it. I

1645
01:13:33,120 --> 01:13:35,559
Speaker 2: mean it's for real, I feel, but because well, because

1646
01:13:35,600 --> 01:13:38,479
Speaker 2: here's the thing. If you're going on a typical road trip,

1647
01:13:38,520 --> 01:13:40,439
Speaker 2: you have to go to the airport or go to

1648
01:13:40,520 --> 01:13:42,759
Speaker 2: the go to the private get to the PJ or wherever,

1649
01:13:43,200 --> 01:13:44,439
Speaker 2: and fly to where you have to go.

1650
01:13:45,439 --> 01:13:48,200
Speaker 1: I don't think they're flying from Sacramento hour and a half.

1651
01:13:49,120 --> 01:13:51,479
Speaker 1: They're not flying. So that's what I'm saying at all.

1652
01:13:51,720 --> 01:13:53,920
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying, Like every other road trip that

1653
01:13:53,960 --> 01:13:55,280
Speaker 2: Golden State had, they got on a plane to go

1654
01:13:55,479 --> 01:13:56,720
Speaker 2: to you know what I'm saying, So.

1655
01:13:56,880 --> 01:14:00,160
Speaker 1: Like it's a new variable, man, we'll see.

1656
01:14:00,080 --> 01:14:03,160
Speaker 3: The money they got They probably got the big luxury

1657
01:14:03,560 --> 01:14:06,479
Speaker 3: Mercedes Benz tour bus type of deal.

1658
01:14:06,560 --> 01:14:09,040
Speaker 1: Probably got five or six of those for an hour

1659
01:14:09,040 --> 01:14:10,400
Speaker 1: and a half. I know, but that's what I'm saying.

1660
01:14:10,400 --> 01:14:12,120
Speaker 1: It would only be fifteen minutes, That's.

1661
01:14:11,960 --> 01:14:13,800
Speaker 2: What But that's what I'm saying, is like, Okay, so

1662
01:14:13,960 --> 01:14:15,960
Speaker 2: just if your creatures are habit as we know professional

1663
01:14:16,000 --> 01:14:19,080
Speaker 2: athletes to be. They have that a terrible road record.

1664
01:14:19,400 --> 01:14:21,519
Speaker 2: This road trip is going to be different than any

1665
01:14:21,560 --> 01:14:24,240
Speaker 2: roads ip they're taking a season. That's what they could

1666
01:14:24,240 --> 01:14:26,240
Speaker 2: probably stay at When you think about it, they're going home.

1667
01:14:26,479 --> 01:14:28,479
Speaker 2: You can price stay at home. I imagine they're going

1668
01:14:28,520 --> 01:14:28,960
Speaker 2: home after this.

1669
01:14:29,040 --> 01:14:31,040
Speaker 1: I would rove. I would have drove. I would have

1670
01:14:31,080 --> 01:14:33,560
Speaker 1: drove the Sacramento this morning. Yeah, I had drove. I

1671
01:14:33,680 --> 01:14:36,280
Speaker 1: just just woke up. It just drove the Sacramento an

1672
01:14:36,360 --> 01:14:37,880
Speaker 1: hour and a half to go play the game. Oh yeah,

1746
01:18:02,040 --> 01:18:05,280

1747
01:18:05,400 --> 01:18:07,759
Speaker 3: wasn't no barrier. It was people that made a decision

1748
01:18:07,800 --> 01:18:09,280
Speaker 3: that didn't want to let the brothers play. And when

1749
01:18:09,320 --> 01:18:11,360
Speaker 3: they finally decided to let him play, they saw what

1750
01:18:11,560 --> 01:18:15,360
Speaker 3: was really, really, really good, and that filtered down into

1751

Speaker 2: to the top of the hour.

1777
01:19:20,240 --> 01:19:22,000
Speaker 1: But what I do want to say at this moment,

1778
01:19:22,720 --> 01:19:23,080
Speaker 1: spit it.

1779
01:19:23,880 --> 01:19:29,120
Speaker 2: Jackie Robinson was not the first person to the first

1780
01:19:29,200 --> 01:19:32,200
Speaker 2: black person to play professional sports because of Integrate Professional Sports.

1781
01:19:32,240 --> 01:19:33,880
Speaker 1: No, a lot of people think that is the case.

1782
01:19:34,320 --> 01:19:36,720
Speaker 2: In nineteen forty seven, he did obviously make his major

1783
01:19:36,840 --> 01:19:40,080
Speaker 2: league debut. However, you talked about his time in UCLA.

1784
01:19:40,320 --> 01:19:43,479
Speaker 2: He was a part of the Forgotten Four, the four

1785
01:19:43,720 --> 01:19:46,040
Speaker 2: black players who played the USLA. Jackie Robinson one of

1786
01:19:46,040 --> 01:19:50,080
Speaker 2: the obviously first to letter. Kenny Washington, however, was the

1787
01:19:50,240 --> 01:19:55,720
Speaker 2: first person to play basically white professional sports, the first

1788
01:19:55,760 --> 01:19:57,800
Speaker 2: black person to play white professional sports. He was on

1789
01:19:58,439 --> 01:20:01,280
Speaker 2: that team with you with jack Key Robinson at UCLA

1790
01:20:01,720 --> 01:20:05,639
Speaker 2: and was so good. George Hallis, you may have heard

1791
01:20:05,680 --> 01:20:09,200
Speaker 2: of him, former coach of the Chicago Bears, was trying

1792
01:20:09,320 --> 01:20:12,639
Speaker 2: to convince the league to permit integration so that Kenny

1793
01:20:12,840 --> 01:20:15,360
Speaker 2: Washington could come play for his team. So that just

1794
01:20:15,479 --> 01:20:19,839
Speaker 2: goes to show you how good they were in college,

1795
01:20:19,880 --> 01:20:22,759
Speaker 2: where you have Jackie Robinson, who again Major League Baseball

1796
01:20:22,760 --> 01:20:25,000
Speaker 2: Hall of Famer, and Kenny Washington first got to play

1797
01:20:25,040 --> 01:20:28,240
Speaker 2: professional football, first black guy. We'll have more on Jackie

01:21:01,040 --> 01:21:02,680
Speaker 2: talked around this a little bit, but right now we're

1811
01:21:02,680 --> 01:21:06,679
Speaker 2: sitting here watching as the Dodgers prepared for the Jackie

1812
01:21:06,760 --> 01:21:09,120

1813

Speaker 2: Jason Hayward right now addressing the crowd and Chavez Ravine,

1815
01:21:16,280 --> 01:21:18,800
Speaker 2: and across the league we're seeing guys were forty two

1816
01:21:19,240 --> 01:21:21,240
Speaker 2: and have moments such as this in which we are

1817
01:21:21,320 --> 01:21:23,800
Speaker 2: reflecting on who Jackie Robinson was and what he meant

1818
01:21:23,840 --> 01:21:24,320
Speaker 2: to this country.

1819
01:21:24,520 --> 01:21:26,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's great stuff to see. Like I said, I

1820
01:21:26,320 --> 01:21:29,599
Speaker 3: get emotional over stuff like this, man, because I realized

1821
01:21:29,640 --> 01:21:31,760
Speaker 3: I'm a historian when it comes to sports, and I

1822
01:21:31,840 --> 01:21:36,000
Speaker 3: realize without guys like Jackie Robinson and guys like Muhammad Ali,

1823
01:21:36,200 --> 01:21:38,200
Speaker 3: and we can name them, we can name them all day.

1824
01:21:38,280 --> 01:21:41,439
Speaker 3: Even in modern day, guys like Tiger Woods, a guy

1825
01:21:41,520 --> 01:21:43,840
Speaker 3: like Mike Tyson, Guys that just come in and just

1826
01:21:44,200 --> 01:21:47,120
Speaker 3: they bring something different with them. They just do and

1827
01:21:47,200 --> 01:21:48,719
Speaker 3: they just mean something different.

1828
01:21:48,960 --> 01:21:49,519
Speaker 1: And then as the.

1829
01:21:49,560 --> 01:21:52,519
Speaker 3: Years goes on, you hear the stories and you hear

1830
01:21:52,600 --> 01:21:54,879
Speaker 3: all light with Kobe, right, you hear all these stories

1831
01:21:54,920 --> 01:21:57,920
Speaker 3: and it's just like God, that guy really was an icon,

1832
01:21:58,560 --> 01:22:02,799
Speaker 3: a legend, just a god of sports. And Jackie Robinson

1833
01:22:03,320 --> 01:22:05,479
Speaker 3: is just that guy, even though, like you mentioned before,

1834
01:22:05,560 --> 01:22:08,439
Speaker 3: there are other black men who have played sports and

1835
01:22:08,479 --> 01:22:10,200
Speaker 3: done things. You know, me, my Vanilla Brother of the

1836
01:22:10,280 --> 01:22:13,760
Speaker 3: Week I've given I had THEA Gibson on that was

1837
01:22:13,920 --> 01:22:16,360
Speaker 3: part of my Vanilla Sister of the Week of war

Speaker 3: do so much in tennis across the globe, not just

1840
01:22:21,960 --> 01:22:25,240
Speaker 3: in America, around the world. And Jackie Robinson was a

1841
01:22:25,280 --> 01:22:27,920
Speaker 3: guy that just rings around the world. As you said

Speaker 3: right now, Jason Heyward, they got the forty two on

1843
01:22:30,360 --> 01:22:33,160
Speaker 3: the field, and you and I both agree every Jackie

1844
01:22:33,240 --> 01:22:36,120
Speaker 3: Robinson Day should be a home dodgery. They should never

1845
01:22:36,760 --> 01:22:38,800
Speaker 3: be on the road on this day, and they should

1846
01:22:38,800 --> 01:22:41,360
Speaker 3: have a game on this day every single year. I

1847
01:22:41,400 --> 01:22:43,080
Speaker 3: think you said the last four years they've hit on that.

1848
01:22:43,160 --> 01:22:44,840
Speaker 3: So yeah, let's keep that street going.

1849
01:22:44,880 --> 01:22:47,280
Speaker 2: Even if it's a you gotta stay in extra day work,

1850
01:22:47,600 --> 01:22:49,240
Speaker 2: shut up, schedule makers, work it in.

1851
01:22:49,360 --> 01:22:50,559
Speaker 1: We don't give a damn. We don't want to hear

1852
01:22:50,600 --> 01:22:53,400
Speaker 1: none of that, and sixty two games. Figure it out.

1853
01:22:53,439 --> 01:22:55,160
Speaker 1: Figure it thank you, figure it out, man, We don't

1854
01:22:55,200 --> 01:22:56,360
Speaker 1: want to hear that crap. Figure it out.

1855
01:22:56,400 --> 01:22:58,640
Speaker 3: Make sure that April fifteenth is a day that the

1856
01:22:58,720 --> 01:23:01,160
Speaker 3: fans and they're showing the fans. Look now, it's beautiful

1857
01:23:01,200 --> 01:23:03,200
Speaker 3: out here. We've been through all this rain, all this

1858
01:23:03,320 --> 01:23:03,760
Speaker 3: bad weather.

1859
01:23:03,800 --> 01:23:06,000
Speaker 2: You get Jackie Robinson Day and it's seventy five degrees

1860
01:23:06,000 --> 01:23:06,960
Speaker 2: out of Chavez Ravine.

1861
01:23:07,040 --> 01:23:08,240
Speaker 1: That's just beautiful.

1862
01:23:08,320 --> 01:23:10,240
Speaker 3: But everything he's meant to the sport man, Like I said,

1863
01:23:10,240 --> 01:23:12,920
Speaker 3: you guys are doing great work over there mlbro dot com.

1864
01:23:13,000 --> 01:23:15,320
Speaker 2: So you guys are close to you know, the black

1865
01:23:15,360 --> 01:23:18,519
Speaker 2: athletes in baseball that are you know that he's paved

1866
01:23:18,520 --> 01:23:24,240
Speaker 2: the way for well and well without uh, without taking

1867
01:23:24,240 --> 01:23:26,920
Speaker 2: away anything that Jackie Robinson did and h taking away

1868
01:23:26,920 --> 01:23:31,640
Speaker 2: from his accomplishments. I think without putting this day into context,

1869
01:23:32,400 --> 01:23:33,879
Speaker 2: it loses to some of its relevancy.

1870
01:23:34,400 --> 01:23:38,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is also the day that black baseball died.

1871
01:23:39,439 --> 01:23:42,960
Speaker 2: The day that Jackie Robinson integrated Major League baseball is

1872
01:23:43,520 --> 01:23:45,280
Speaker 2: it's not even it's really not debatable.

1873
01:23:45,400 --> 01:23:47,439
Speaker 1: I get what you said. I get exactly what. Three

1874
01:23:47,520 --> 01:23:52,280
Speaker 1: years later, there was no Negro League. Now, let me

1875
01:23:52,360 --> 01:23:54,680
Speaker 1: actu you. Is that is that a good way?

1876
01:23:54,960 --> 01:23:55,080
Speaker 2: You know?

1877
01:23:55,320 --> 01:23:57,640
Speaker 1: Was that's hard? That's that's a hard one man. That's

1878
01:23:57,680 --> 01:24:02,680
Speaker 1: a good thing. So it is, right? Is it a

1879
01:24:02,720 --> 01:24:03,760
Speaker 1: good thing? Is it a bad thing?

1880
01:24:03,880 --> 01:24:04,120
Speaker 4: It is?

1881
01:24:04,240 --> 01:24:05,240
Speaker 1: It is what happened? Right.

1882
01:24:05,479 --> 01:24:07,439
Speaker 2: The thing that I like to focus on is the

1883
01:24:07,560 --> 01:24:11,439
Speaker 2: idea that for all these Negro League teams, you then

1884
01:24:11,560 --> 01:24:15,719
Speaker 2: had different revenue streams that were coming in support directly

1885
01:24:15,840 --> 01:24:16,679
Speaker 2: going to black people.

1886
01:24:17,320 --> 01:24:17,439
Speaker 1: Right.

1887
01:24:17,920 --> 01:24:21,360
Speaker 2: You had the players, You had team owners, some of

1888
01:24:21,439 --> 01:24:23,680
Speaker 2: whom were white, right, but you had team owners like

1889
01:24:23,720 --> 01:24:26,800
Speaker 2: Clark Griffith, the owner of the Washington Senators, also had

1890
01:24:26,840 --> 01:24:27,800
Speaker 2: a Negro League team.

1891
01:24:30,439 --> 01:24:33,240
Speaker 1: There were businesses that were there around the Negro League.

1892
01:24:33,280 --> 01:24:36,599
Speaker 2: Think about any stadium you see now, and you see

1893
01:24:36,720 --> 01:24:41,000
Speaker 2: different businesses around those stadiums, different things being built up

1894
01:24:41,000 --> 01:24:44,280
Speaker 2: around those stadiums. That's not a new phenomenon. Okay, that

1895
01:24:44,360 --> 01:24:46,599
Speaker 2: happened that I was happening in nineteen forty something.

1896
01:24:46,680 --> 01:24:50,520
Speaker 1: Whatever. It's as well. The way that branch Ricky.

1897
01:24:51,520 --> 01:24:54,000
Speaker 2: Signed Jackie Robinson, he signed them to a contract in

1898
01:24:54,120 --> 01:24:57,840
Speaker 2: which told not belaebored the point, but the ideal behind

1899
01:24:57,880 --> 01:25:02,160
Speaker 2: it was. His contract was that he did not view

1900
01:25:02,280 --> 01:25:07,000
Speaker 2: the Negro leagues as another major league. Therefore, in compensation

1901
01:25:07,160 --> 01:25:11,080
Speaker 2: for Jackie Robinson, branch Ricky provided very little to nothing,

1902
01:25:12,000 --> 01:25:16,479
Speaker 2: Whereas if you want to sign, for example, Cavonte Turpin

1903
01:25:16,640 --> 01:25:19,800
Speaker 2: in the middle of his XFL contract, it's going to

1904
01:25:19,920 --> 01:25:22,400
Speaker 2: cost the team that wants to buy him.

1905
01:25:22,640 --> 01:25:24,360
Speaker 1: We see all of this in soccer.

1906
01:25:24,720 --> 01:25:26,960
Speaker 2: That's low key where I'm using the terms buy and

1907
01:25:27,120 --> 01:25:32,400
Speaker 2: sell in part because you purchase a contract from another team, right,

1908
01:25:32,760 --> 01:25:35,320
Speaker 2: even if that team is at a lower level than

1909
01:25:35,360 --> 01:25:39,000
Speaker 2: you in your league or in a different league. Entirely,

1910
01:25:39,640 --> 01:25:43,400
Speaker 2: there's still a financial compensation that goes around here. There

1911
01:25:43,720 --> 01:25:47,640
Speaker 2: was none for Jackie Robinson. I'm quoting Fa Manley here,

1912
01:25:48,080 --> 01:25:50,760
Speaker 2: who was the co owner of the Newark Eagles. She's

1913
01:25:50,800 --> 01:25:54,160
Speaker 2: a Major League Baseball Hall of Famer. She's sitting in Cooperstown, Okay.

1914
01:25:55,280 --> 01:25:59,800
Speaker 2: Her quote from nineteen to nineteen seventy seven interview says,

1915
01:26:00,080 --> 01:26:03,280
Speaker 2: when he, meaning branch Rickey, took those three Negro ball

1916
01:26:03,320 --> 01:26:05,920
Speaker 2: players from Negro baseball and didn't give us five cents

1917
01:26:06,000 --> 01:26:09,320
Speaker 2: or say thank you, meaning Jackie Robinson, Roy Campanella, and

1918
01:26:09,360 --> 01:26:13,600
Speaker 2: Don Newcomb, all of whom starred for the Dodgers. We

1919
01:26:13,720 --> 01:26:16,920
Speaker 2: couldn't protest, said Manley. The fans would have never forgiven us.

1920
01:26:17,000 --> 01:26:18,880
Speaker 2: Plus it would have been wrong to have prevented them

1921
01:26:18,880 --> 01:26:22,640
Speaker 2: from going into the majors. Manley also said before she

1922
01:26:22,760 --> 01:26:27,800
Speaker 2: passed away, baseball is a rich man's game. Rupert had

1923
01:26:27,840 --> 01:26:31,120
Speaker 2: his beer, Rigley had his gum, Abe her husband co owner,

1924
01:26:31,320 --> 01:26:32,679
Speaker 2: and I only have each other.

1925
01:26:33,120 --> 01:26:34,519
Speaker 1: I'm not worried about myself.

1926
01:26:34,840 --> 01:26:37,240
Speaker 2: Well, I'm concerned about the four hundred men and their

1927
01:26:37,320 --> 01:26:41,479
Speaker 2: families who depend on the Negro leagues. When branch Rickey

1928
01:26:42,000 --> 01:26:45,160
Speaker 2: signed Jackie Robinson in the way that he did so,

1929
01:26:46,880 --> 01:26:49,400
Speaker 2: Negro league owners had to then fight that much harder

1930
01:26:49,479 --> 01:26:53,200
Speaker 2: to get compensation for their players. Some of the players

1931
01:26:53,200 --> 01:26:58,000
Speaker 2: who came through the negro leagues, the three alforementioned Campanella, Newcomb, Robinson,

1932
01:26:58,520 --> 01:27:01,240
Speaker 2: how about can I interest you in? Willie Mae get issuing,

1933
01:27:01,360 --> 01:27:05,559
Speaker 2: Ernie Banks, get issuing, Hank Aaron, get interesting, Bob Gibson.

1934
01:27:06,280 --> 01:27:09,040
Speaker 2: There was no compensation back from Major League Baseball for

1935
01:27:09,200 --> 01:27:12,360
Speaker 2: these players, to the to the people that developed them,

1936
01:27:13,040 --> 01:27:16,439
Speaker 2: trained them and gave them opportunity to play.

1937
01:27:18,120 --> 01:27:21,920
Speaker 1: You see all this Jackie Robinson day. You see MLB

1938
01:27:22,120 --> 01:27:24,640
Speaker 1: the show they got, they got Negro League in the

1939
01:27:24,760 --> 01:27:25,639
Speaker 1: video game now.

1940
01:27:26,840 --> 01:27:29,960
Speaker 2: Dennis Biddle was honored ahead of ahead of the Milwaukee

1941
01:27:30,040 --> 01:27:33,080
Speaker 2: Brewers game today. All of it is a half measure.

1942
01:27:34,479 --> 01:27:37,680
Speaker 2: Just just just six years later, the NFL and the

1943
01:27:37,800 --> 01:27:45,280
Speaker 2: AFL merged. Everybody got paid. Everybody got everybody got paid. Okay,

1944
01:27:45,920 --> 01:27:47,840
Speaker 2: a couple of years later, the A b A and

1945
01:27:47,920 --> 01:27:52,160
Speaker 2: the NBA. Everybody from the ABA either you got absorbed. Hello,

1946
01:27:53,280 --> 01:27:56,759
Speaker 2: New Jersey Nets and Indiana Pacers and San Antonio Spurs,

1947
01:27:57,120 --> 01:27:58,320
Speaker 2: Welcome into our league.

1948
01:27:58,560 --> 01:28:00,360
Speaker 1: You'll pay a little bit of a fee here, but

1949
01:28:00,439 --> 01:28:01,519
Speaker 1: you'll get it back because we're.

1950
01:28:01,360 --> 01:28:03,840
Speaker 2: Gonna put these TV revenues all right, and you know what,

1951
01:28:03,960 --> 01:28:06,439
Speaker 2: sperid in Saint Louis. You don't want to join, Let's

1952

Speaker 2: figure this out and get you three percent of our

1953
01:28:08,520 --> 01:28:12,000
Speaker 2: TV revenues and prop perpetuity that means forever people.

1954
01:28:13,040 --> 01:28:17,240
Speaker 1: It reminds me of the h of the Will Ferrell

1955
01:28:17,320 --> 01:28:20,280
Speaker 1: basketball movie. What was that semi pro? Semi pro?

1956
01:28:20,400 --> 01:28:23,719
Speaker 3: And they were they were there, that Flint Flint Tropics.

1957
01:28:23,760 --> 01:28:26,439
Speaker 3: The Flint Tropics were the imaginary team. But when he

1958
01:28:26,479 --> 01:28:28,080
Speaker 3: went to that one meeting, it was all the other

1959
01:28:28,160 --> 01:28:31,720
Speaker 3: ABA teams trying to come over to the NB. I'm

1960
01:28:31,720 --> 01:28:35,160
Speaker 3: sorry that's hilarious moves. Every time we talk about Lee's merging,

1961
01:28:35,760 --> 01:28:40,439
Speaker 3: that I was called happened with black baseball, the Negro leagues.

1962
01:28:41,080 --> 01:28:42,439
Speaker 3: It was absorbed by Major League.

1963
01:28:42,280 --> 01:28:46,400
Speaker 2: Baseball point play period, and we are seeing now since

1964
01:28:46,439 --> 01:28:49,600
Speaker 2: twenty twenty and on, you're seeing major League Baseball acknowledge this.

1965
01:28:50,320 --> 01:28:51,040
Speaker 1: They're now there.

1966
01:28:51,160 --> 01:28:55,519
Speaker 2: Negro League stats are in, are in, uh the official record.

1967
01:28:56,320 --> 01:28:59,439
Speaker 2: You have Negro League Hall of Famers. Because I interviewed

1968
01:28:59,439 --> 01:29:02,519
Speaker 2: Dennis Biddle, who was the youngest professional baseball player by

1969
01:29:02,560 --> 01:29:04,599
Speaker 2: congressional record. He played in the Negro League at seventeen

1970
01:29:04,640 --> 01:29:07,559
Speaker 2: years old, alive today, Okay, I talked to him.

1971
01:29:09,200 --> 01:29:10,120
Speaker 1: He that's amazing.

1972
01:29:10,240 --> 01:29:15,120
Speaker 2: What he said ostensibly was, look, these owners were buying

1973
01:29:15,240 --> 01:29:18,120
Speaker 2: these players and there was no recompense. There was no

1974
01:29:18,280 --> 01:29:22,160
Speaker 2: get back. Imagine a talent like Willie Mays and you

1975
01:29:22,280 --> 01:29:25,320
Speaker 2: get nothing back. We spent the whole first hour of

1976
01:29:25,400 --> 01:29:27,880
Speaker 2: the show talk about how the Pelicans are not getting

1977
01:29:27,920 --> 01:29:31,320
Speaker 2: returns on the number one overall pick. He's at least

1978
01:29:31,479 --> 01:29:36,160
Speaker 2: there they could trade him in theory, right, Imagine if

1979
01:29:36,200 --> 01:29:38,479
Speaker 2: you just drafted Zion and a year and a half

1980
01:29:38,600 --> 01:29:42,000
Speaker 2: later he disappears because another team signed him, and you

1981
01:29:42,120 --> 01:29:47,479
Speaker 2: get nothing back, nothing from It's almost My final point

1982
01:29:47,560 --> 01:29:50,080
Speaker 2: is this, you want to do all this half measures

1983
01:29:50,200 --> 01:29:53,080
Speaker 2: major League Baseball with I'm looking at Michael Grove warming

1984
01:29:53,160 --> 01:29:54,800
Speaker 2: up for the Dodgers wearing a forty two on the

1985
01:29:54,880 --> 01:29:57,400
Speaker 2: back of his jersey. Right, I can go right now

1986
01:29:57,479 --> 01:29:59,880
Speaker 2: on major League Baseball dot COMMLB dot com and by

1987

Speaker 2: Nego League Apparel. Pay living negro leaguer families and their

1988
01:30:05,680 --> 01:30:09,240
Speaker 2: descendants reparations. I know that's I know that's a trigger word.

1989
01:30:09,640 --> 01:30:12,040
Speaker 2: How about this just paying the money you owe from

1990
01:30:12,080 --> 01:30:14,200
Speaker 2: the merchy you. Oh, and it is a trick and

1991
01:30:14,320 --> 01:30:17,200
Speaker 2: Google reparations. Look at the definition before you call me

1992
01:30:17,280 --> 01:30:20,639
Speaker 2: something crazy, because all it is is payment of lost wages.

1993
01:30:20,680 --> 01:30:22,000
Speaker 3: So you know me, I don't care what they call

1994
01:30:22,080 --> 01:30:23,400
Speaker 3: us anyway. They can't call me what they want to

1995
01:30:23,439 --> 01:30:24,400
Speaker 3: call me. That doesn't bother me.

1996
01:30:24,960 --> 01:30:26,880
Speaker 2: I'm from the military, man, I come from tough people,

1997
01:30:26,960 --> 01:30:28,400
Speaker 2: my mom and my daddy and my grandparents.

1998
01:30:28,439 --> 01:30:29,519
Speaker 1: So you can call me what you want to call me.

1999
01:30:29,640 --> 01:30:31,080
Speaker 1: I don't give a damn. I'm with you on that.

2000
01:30:31,479 --> 01:30:33,360
Speaker 3: And that was the main thing where we talked about

2001
01:30:33,880 --> 01:30:36,439
Speaker 3: during a break, the money that is being made off

2002
01:30:36,520 --> 01:30:39,679
Speaker 3: of Jackie Robinson none of his family's getting that bread.

2003
01:30:39,760 --> 01:30:42,120
Speaker 2: And that's some bull. That's some bs right well, the

2004
01:30:42,240 --> 01:30:45,639
Speaker 2: Jackie Robinson Foundation. But the thing is all across the board.

2005
01:30:45,680 --> 01:30:46,320
Speaker 1: It's very much.

2006
01:30:46,240 --> 01:30:48,479
Speaker 2: Similar with the NFL Hall of Famers, where like the

2007
01:30:48,560 --> 01:30:50,400
Speaker 2: Hall of Famers are the ones championing the fact that

2008
01:30:50,479 --> 01:30:52,920
Speaker 2: everybody needs health care exactly, there were there.

2009
01:30:52,880 --> 01:30:55,800
Speaker 1: Were four hundred different men and the negro leagues over

2010
01:30:55,920 --> 01:30:56,639
Speaker 1: twenty some years.

2011
01:30:57,000 --> 01:30:59,680
Speaker 3: We've seen this with Lee's just remember just recently Wes

2012
01:30:59,800 --> 01:31:03,280
Speaker 3: Well Poker has a lawsuit against the NFL because they

2013
01:31:03,320 --> 01:31:06,639
Speaker 3: don't want to pay his you know, post playing injury

2014
01:31:06,800 --> 01:31:07,639
Speaker 3: insurance and thes.

2015
01:31:07,960 --> 01:31:08,640
Speaker 1: These leagues do.

2016
01:31:08,720 --> 01:31:10,640
Speaker 2: A lot of We talked about this earlier in the

2017
01:31:10,640 --> 01:31:12,240
Speaker 2: show Guys, American business.

2018
01:31:12,479 --> 01:31:14,200
Speaker 1: Sports is American business. Guys.

2019
01:31:14,439 --> 01:31:17,519
Speaker 3: It's sports for fans and for guys that talk about

2020
01:31:17,560 --> 01:31:19,200
Speaker 3: it and get paid to do what we do. But

2021
01:31:19,320 --> 01:31:22,680
Speaker 3: at the end of the day, it's business. And when

2022
01:31:22,720 --> 01:31:24,120
Speaker 3: you're doing business, my.

2023
01:31:24,240 --> 01:31:27,920
Speaker 2: Mother, the great Colonel Doctor Spearman, always says, I do

2024
01:31:28,120 --> 01:31:28,719
Speaker 2: good business.

2025
01:31:28,840 --> 01:31:30,600
Speaker 1: That's why God keeps blessing me.

2026
01:31:30,880 --> 01:31:33,639
Speaker 3: My mom owns her own real estate project management company

2027
01:31:33,640 --> 01:31:36,719
Speaker 3: excuse me, property not project property management company. She owns

2028
01:31:36,720 --> 01:31:38,320
Speaker 3: like six or seven homes and then she rents them

2029
01:31:38,320 --> 01:31:40,519
Speaker 3: out for residual income and owns a real estate company.

2030
01:31:40,520 --> 01:31:42,519
Speaker 3: That's what she does retired. She did that retired after

2031
01:31:42,560 --> 01:31:46,519
Speaker 3: the military. She always talks about, I do good business, son,

2032
01:31:46,840 --> 01:31:48,840
Speaker 3: do good business, son. Take care of your business.

2033
01:31:48,880 --> 01:31:49,000
Speaker 1: Son.

2034
01:31:49,080 --> 01:31:51,760
Speaker 3: That's how my mother talks to us. So, but that's

2035
01:31:51,800 --> 01:31:54,240
Speaker 3: not how pro sports goes, guys. There's a lot of

2036
01:31:54,280 --> 01:31:56,760
Speaker 3: dirtiness going on. I'm with Martin one hundred percent on

2037
01:31:56,880 --> 01:32:01,320
Speaker 3: that Pay what you owe, man, is the thing you ain't.

2038
01:32:01,120 --> 01:32:04,040
Speaker 1: Gonna miss it. It's so much damn money today.

2039
01:32:04,439 --> 01:32:06,519
Speaker 3: If they decided, you know what, we owe all the

2040
01:32:06,560 --> 01:32:09,280
Speaker 3: Negro league families and then the players, and let's just

2041
01:32:09,520 --> 01:32:11,920
Speaker 3: all right, even if it came out to two hundred

2042
01:32:11,960 --> 01:32:14,479
Speaker 3: and fifty million dollars, who's two hundred and fifty million

2043
01:32:14,520 --> 01:32:15,960
Speaker 3: dollars the Major League Baseball?

2044
01:32:16,280 --> 01:32:19,320
Speaker 1: The payroll of the Athletics, thank you and thank you.

2045
01:32:19,479 --> 01:32:22,879
Speaker 3: That's the payroll of a sports of a sports publishing,

2046
01:32:23,479 --> 01:32:25,519
Speaker 3: of a bad one, of a bad team, the payroll

2047
01:32:25,560 --> 01:32:28,160
Speaker 3: of a bad team. So when you think about it, oh,

2048
01:32:28,240 --> 01:32:34,680
Speaker 3: the Athletics, I thought you said, the Athletic Athletics, Athletics Oakland, Yeah,

2049
01:32:34,680 --> 01:32:37,479
Speaker 3: the Oakland A's well the Pittsburgh Pirates. Now, yeah, the Pirates,

2050
01:32:37,560 --> 01:32:40,439
Speaker 3: the raise like they all have low raise, the raise

2051
01:32:41,360 --> 01:32:43,519
Speaker 3: raiser of thirteen and one right now, I know, well

2052
01:32:43,560 --> 01:32:46,000
Speaker 3: thirteen too. They lost again to that after that thirteen

2053
01:32:46,040 --> 01:32:48,040
Speaker 3: and no start thirteen two. But I'm with you on that, man,

2054
01:32:48,280 --> 01:32:50,080
Speaker 3: pay what you owe. And even like I said, if

2055
01:32:50,080 --> 01:32:51,680
Speaker 3: I got the two and fifty three million dollars, that

2056
01:32:51,760 --> 01:32:54,880
Speaker 3: ain't nothing to Major League Baseball. Just imagine what you

2057
01:32:54,880 --> 01:32:57,439
Speaker 3: would be able to do for just these families and

2058
01:32:57,520 --> 01:33:01,120
Speaker 3: these players like Martin. It so very eloquently stated. They

2059
01:33:01,240 --> 01:33:03,840
Speaker 3: basically can just come take players and then up shot

2060
01:33:03,920 --> 01:33:05,320
Speaker 3: the lead down. We were talking during a break. The

2061
01:33:05,400 --> 01:33:08,120
Speaker 3: NBA did the same thing with the CBA and Isaiah Thomas.

2062
01:33:08,320 --> 01:33:10,840
Speaker 3: They pretty much just rubbed them out. They just came

2063
01:33:10,880 --> 01:33:12,240
Speaker 3: and took all the ideas and took the players and

2064
01:33:12,240 --> 01:33:13,679
Speaker 3: didn't give him any money. And then when he wanted

2065
01:33:13,680 --> 01:33:15,560
Speaker 3: to coach and pears, they's like, yeah, you coach the

2066
01:33:15,600 --> 01:33:18,600
Speaker 3: Ina the Pacers, but you can't have any more connection

2067
01:33:19,320 --> 01:33:22,920
Speaker 3: with the CBA. And that's what they're doing with this

2068
01:33:23,000 --> 01:33:25,960
Speaker 3: whole Jackie Robinson thing. Like you said, the cover, the

2069
01:33:26,080 --> 01:33:28,160
Speaker 3: cover of it is cute and it looks good.

2070
01:33:28,240 --> 01:33:31,160
Speaker 1: And listen, we got measures a half step. I got it.

2071
01:33:31,280 --> 01:33:32,960
Speaker 1: There's more than nothing. But thank y'all.

2072
01:33:32,960 --> 01:33:35,240
Speaker 3: Was about to say glass half full, Martin, come on,

2073
01:33:35,960 --> 01:33:38,000
Speaker 3: glass half full instead of glass half empty.

2074
01:33:38,040 --> 01:33:39,639
Speaker 1: But there's still more juice that needs to be poured

2075
01:33:39,640 --> 01:33:40,240
Speaker 1: into the glass.

2076
01:33:40,320 --> 01:33:42,960
Speaker 2: This is a quote from the Society for American Baseball

2077
01:33:43,040 --> 01:33:46,240
Speaker 2: Research an article they wrote, quote, Jackie Robinson's breakthrough with

2078
01:33:46,320 --> 01:33:48,479
Speaker 2: the Brooklyn Dodgers was a triumph for the integration of

2079
01:33:48,560 --> 01:33:51,280
Speaker 2: baseball and the death centres for the Negro leagues. Once

2080
01:33:51,400 --> 01:33:53,920
Speaker 2: the barrier to entry for the top back black ball

2081
01:33:53,960 --> 01:33:56,680
Speaker 2: players finally and justly fell, the leagues that used to

2082
01:33:56,680 --> 01:33:57,879
Speaker 2: be the only place to see.

2083
01:33:57,680 --> 01:33:59,880
Speaker 1: Them struggle to survive. That's deep.

2084
01:34:00,000 --> 01:34:03,479
Speaker 2: It's just it's a historical fact that this is, like

2085
01:34:03,720 --> 01:34:07,559
Speaker 2: this day, Jackie Robinson Day was the death of black baseball.

2086
01:34:07,840 --> 01:34:10,920
Speaker 1: Damn it. Fact him factually is. And if you if

2087
01:34:10,960 --> 01:34:11,559
Speaker 1: we're gonna go.

2088
01:34:11,600 --> 01:34:15,840
Speaker 2: Ahead and celebrate the integration of baseball, which again, the

2089
01:34:15,960 --> 01:34:19,080
Speaker 2: color barrier is not real. The color barrier is not

2090
01:34:19,200 --> 01:34:21,760
Speaker 2: the Berlin Wall or the Great Wall of China. The

2091
01:34:21,920 --> 01:34:25,360
Speaker 2: color barrier with a group of white men making a decision,

2092
01:34:25,680 --> 01:34:27,400
Speaker 2: that is it the only thing it took for the

2093
01:34:27,439 --> 01:34:30,080
Speaker 2: color barrier to fall was one to change their minds.

2094
01:34:30,680 --> 01:34:31,080
Speaker 1: That's it.

2095
01:34:31,439 --> 01:34:33,120
Speaker 2: The same way to me and VJ chose to come

2096
01:34:33,200 --> 01:34:35,200
Speaker 2: to work today. The only way this show doesn't work

2097
01:34:35,400 --> 01:34:36,519
Speaker 2: is one of us chooses not to.

2098
01:34:37,400 --> 01:34:37,680
Speaker 1: That's it.

2099
01:34:38,520 --> 01:34:41,439
Speaker 2: There's no barrier, there was no defense, there was no

2100
01:34:41,960 --> 01:34:46,880
Speaker 2: it's nobody holding them. There's no hold me back guy here. Okay,

2101
01:34:47,640 --> 01:34:51,519
Speaker 2: all right, that's not what the case was the reason why.

2102
01:34:51,600 --> 01:34:54,799
Speaker 2: And so when we talk about this, this color barrier,

2103
01:34:55,200 --> 01:34:57,880
Speaker 2: this color you know, Jackie Robinson endured so much.

2104
01:34:58,280 --> 01:34:59,280
Speaker 1: He endured so.

2105
01:34:59,439 --> 01:35:03,200
Speaker 2: Much because so many people were trying to stop him. However,

2106
01:35:03,760 --> 01:35:06,960
Speaker 2: don't make the don't get it twisted. Jackie Robinson was

2107
01:35:07,000 --> 01:35:09,599
Speaker 2: able to be the rookie of the Year and eventually

2108
01:35:09,640 --> 01:35:12,320
Speaker 2: a major League baseball if because somebody gave him the

2109
01:35:12,320 --> 01:35:13,200
Speaker 2: opportunity to do so.

2110
01:35:13,920 --> 01:35:15,640
Speaker 1: And it ain't because it ain't you know, they gave

2111
01:35:15,720 --> 01:35:17,240
Speaker 1: them the opportunity for their pockets.

2112
01:35:17,680 --> 01:35:20,240
Speaker 3: And it wasn't like it wasn't like somebody just said,

2113
01:35:20,240 --> 01:35:22,760
Speaker 3: you know what, let's not be racist anymore, let's not

2114
01:35:22,840 --> 01:35:25,560
Speaker 3: have a racial divide, let's really help out the black guy. No,

2115
01:35:25,720 --> 01:35:27,640
Speaker 3: it was, Hey, have you seen this guy with the

2116
01:35:27,720 --> 01:35:30,519
Speaker 3: Kansas City Monarchs. Do you know, look, he made his debut.

2117
01:35:30,600 --> 01:35:34,040
Speaker 3: Guys in front of twenty six thousand fans. Show me,

2118
01:35:34,280 --> 01:35:36,519
Speaker 3: show me the attendance of all the major league games today,

2119
01:35:36,560 --> 01:35:39,000
Speaker 3: and show me twenty six thousand people in any major

2120
01:35:39,080 --> 01:35:42,439
Speaker 3: league stadium today, including Chavez Ravine on Jackie Robinson Day.

2121
01:35:42,479 --> 01:35:43,040
Speaker 1: Just show it to me.

2122
01:35:43,400 --> 01:35:46,160
Speaker 2: Dennis Biddle told me this. He also said the style

2123
01:35:46,200 --> 01:35:48,680
Speaker 2: of play was unlike they had the NJA leagues. They

2124
01:35:48,760 --> 01:35:50,200
Speaker 2: had to hit and run, which they then called the

2125
01:35:50,280 --> 01:35:52,960
Speaker 2: button run. They said they invented the batting helmet, in

2126
01:35:53,080 --> 01:35:55,040
Speaker 2: which you know, you look back and you see the

2127
01:35:55,240 --> 01:35:57,800
Speaker 2: remnants of the batting helmets started in the Negro leagues,

2128
01:35:58,080 --> 01:36:02,000
Speaker 2: right the way they steal base previously started in the

2129
01:36:02,120 --> 01:36:06,200
Speaker 2: Negro leagues. There were scouts coming to Negro league games,

2130
01:36:06,720 --> 01:36:09,479
Speaker 2: White baseball scouts coming to Negro league games to learn

2131
01:36:09,840 --> 01:36:13,400
Speaker 2: How did you teach their players to play better? Babe,

2132
01:36:13,439 --> 01:36:14,880
Speaker 2: I'll put it like that. That's last thing I'll say

2133
01:36:14,920 --> 01:36:15,040
Speaker 2: on it.

2134
01:36:15,320 --> 01:36:16,639
Speaker 1: Babe. Ruth called this shot.

2135
01:36:16,840 --> 01:36:18,400
Speaker 2: But Josh Gibson's the only man to hit a home

2136
01:36:18,439 --> 01:36:19,599
Speaker 2: run outside of the Yankee Stadium.

2137
01:36:19,800 --> 01:36:21,800
Speaker 1: Exactly, that's it, exactly.

2138
01:36:21,720 --> 01:36:24,679
Speaker 2: All right, so Happy Jackie Robinson Day to all those

2139
01:36:25,040 --> 01:36:26,760
Speaker 2: who take this day for what it is. But we

2140
01:36:26,960 --> 01:36:29,519
Speaker 2: also on a day like today, we celebrate Jackie Robinson

2141
01:36:29,560 --> 01:36:31,360
Speaker 2: all the time. I do want to look back to

2142
01:36:31,479 --> 01:36:34,240
Speaker 2: the other family, other men who made the Negro Leagues

2143
01:36:34,280 --> 01:36:37,360
Speaker 2: in which Jackie Robinson participated in once also.

2144
01:36:37,320 --> 01:36:40,040
Speaker 3: With just one last quick thing, coolest nickname ever in

2145
01:36:40,120 --> 01:36:43,400
Speaker 3: the Negro Leagues, Man James Thomas Rennick on cool Papa

2146
01:36:43,520 --> 01:36:46,400
Speaker 3: Bell that when you call cool when your nickname is

2147
01:36:46,479 --> 01:36:49,920
Speaker 3: cool Papa, like, Hey, they have some good nicknames back

Speaker 2: dot Com studios as the Sacramento Kings and the Golden

2159
01:37:17,200 --> 01:37:20,320
Speaker 2: State Warriors two minutes going in the second quarter, Golden

2160
01:37:20,320 --> 01:37:21,400
Speaker 2: State with a one point lead.

2161
01:37:22,360 --> 01:37:24,479
Speaker 3: You would think you would think these are our two

2162
01:37:24,520 --> 01:37:26,599
Speaker 3: favorite teams. The way Martin and I are in here

2163
01:37:27,160 --> 01:37:29,680
Speaker 3: and cheering for this game, you would think I'm a

2164
01:37:29,760 --> 01:37:32,040
Speaker 3: Warriors fan and he's like a legit Kings fan.

2165
01:37:32,280 --> 01:37:36,200
Speaker 2: The way we're in here talking trash and watching this game. Yeah, no,

2166
01:37:37,360 --> 01:37:40,400
Speaker 2: youth have to matter at some point. Regular season has

2167
01:37:40,439 --> 01:37:43,479
Speaker 2: to matter. If the Warriors win this, this will be

2168
01:37:43,520 --> 01:37:46,479
Speaker 2: the twelfth road game they've won all season. I know,

2169
01:37:46,680 --> 01:37:49,320
Speaker 2: throw all the records out in the postseason, but still

2170
01:37:49,840 --> 01:37:52,479
Speaker 2: we always normally when we say that the records are

2171
01:37:52,520 --> 01:37:56,080
Speaker 2: about average, they're about regular. Everybody's got about the same record.

2172
01:37:56,600 --> 01:37:59,920
Speaker 2: The Warriors road record is up there, or should I say,

2173
01:38:00,240 --> 01:38:04,120
Speaker 2: down there with the Pistons, the Rockets worse ever, one

2174
01:38:04,160 --> 01:38:04,840
Speaker 2: of the worst ever.

2175
01:38:05,680 --> 01:38:08,000
Speaker 1: But they only need one in the play, They only

2176
01:38:08,080 --> 01:38:09,040
Speaker 1: need one in the series.

2177
01:38:09,120 --> 01:38:13,160
Speaker 2: If they had won even even twenty road games, I

2178
01:38:13,200 --> 01:38:13,960
Speaker 2: would feel different.

2179
01:38:13,960 --> 01:38:15,920
Speaker 1: We wouldn't even talking about the road then if they

2180
01:38:15,960 --> 01:38:18,920
Speaker 1: won twenty on we won't talking about But it's just, dude,

2181
01:38:19,760 --> 01:38:21,479
Speaker 1: it's so bad.

2182
01:38:21,920 --> 01:38:26,000
Speaker 2: W eleven eleven, Yes, they and mind you went nine

2183
01:38:26,040 --> 01:38:29,120
Speaker 2: and two down the stretch to avoid the playing so

2184
01:38:29,680 --> 01:38:32,439
Speaker 2: for the vast majority of the season, they're shitting with

2185
01:38:32,560 --> 01:38:36,000
Speaker 2: eight road winds. Dude, Like, I'm sorry, That's why I

2186
01:38:36,080 --> 01:38:39,160
Speaker 2: was talking to you earlier. It's like, is Sacramento actually

2187
01:38:39,240 --> 01:38:41,800
Speaker 2: a road trip? Because I mean, it's just maybe a

2188
01:38:41,880 --> 01:38:42,559
Speaker 2: longer drive.

2189
01:38:43,200 --> 01:38:44,880
Speaker 3: I think it's a road trip just because of just

2190
01:38:44,960 --> 01:38:48,280
Speaker 3: the noise, and sure, yeah, just just the atmosphere and

2191
01:38:48,320 --> 01:38:50,360
Speaker 3: the noise, and then we're watching the game right now

2192
01:38:50,640 --> 01:38:52,280
Speaker 3: here live in the studio. I don't I haven't seen

2193
01:38:52,360 --> 01:38:55,200
Speaker 3: one Golden State jersey yet, so it's a road game.

2194
01:38:55,280 --> 01:38:57,680
Speaker 3: I haven't seen the one Golden State jersey yet. I

2195
01:38:57,720 --> 01:38:59,559
Speaker 3: wouldn't even have let nobody in with a Golden State

2196
01:38:59,640 --> 01:39:03,759
Speaker 3: jersey on Your ticket didn't scan, sir, Sorry your phone,

Speaker 2: the in the part of the of the stadium in

2202
01:39:17,120 --> 01:39:20,560
Speaker 2: which they'll show actually on camera that comes in the

2203
01:39:20,640 --> 01:39:23,200
Speaker 2: back and forth of them playing, because everybody in there

2204
01:39:23,280 --> 01:39:25,360
Speaker 2: was wearing white. They didn't all come with the same

2205
01:39:25,439 --> 01:39:26,840
Speaker 2: shirt on. Oh no, of course, you know what I'm

Speaker 1: When you put them on.

2221
01:39:59,640 --> 01:40:03,280
Speaker 2: They were Finnic, NBA Laker, Kobe socks. I never got

Speaker 2: a T shirt through the NBA socks are worth ten bucks, Yeah,

2223

01:40:10,680 --> 01:40:13,320
Speaker 2: your hands on the pair, go to the outlet. I

2225
01:40:13,360 --> 01:40:15,040
Speaker 2: got to say, get credit to Rod Parker, he's the

2226
01:40:15,120 --> 01:40:17,720
Speaker 2: one that sh that showed me the light. But you

2227
01:40:17,800 --> 01:40:19,599

01:40:29,479 --> 01:40:29,840
Speaker 2: not going.

2232
01:40:31,760 --> 01:40:32,400
Speaker 1: I got a pack.

2233
01:40:32,800 --> 01:40:34,959
Speaker 2: I found a pack of NBA socks once at Burlington

2234
01:40:35,000 --> 01:40:37,599
Speaker 2: co Factory and I felt them like, hold on, he's legit.

2235
01:40:37,680 --> 01:40:39,680
Speaker 2: And when I when I touched him, I said, yeah,

2236
01:40:39,760 --> 01:40:40,880
Speaker 2: let me go ahead and grab packing it.

2237
01:40:40,880 --> 01:40:42,040
Speaker 1: And you're right. And they were white.

2238
01:40:42,320 --> 01:40:44,160
Speaker 3: So you know how white socks are once you walk

2239
01:40:44,200 --> 01:40:47,439
Speaker 3: around your house, once the bottom of them are done,

2240
01:40:47,800 --> 01:40:50,880
Speaker 3: and they'll never bleach completely white again. I didn't put

2241
01:40:50,920 --> 01:40:53,360
Speaker 3: a pair of them on for like two months because

2242
01:40:53,360 --> 01:40:54,960
Speaker 3: I just didn't want them to get dirty, because I know,

2243
01:40:55,040 --> 01:40:57,439
Speaker 3: once the bottom of the white socks get dirty, you

2244
01:40:57,520 --> 01:41:00,360
Speaker 3: can never bleach those back again. But you talk about

2245
01:41:00,800 --> 01:41:05,360
Speaker 3: a comfortable pair damn socks. Yeah, they're all tight. They're

2246
01:41:05,400 --> 01:41:06,160
Speaker 3: so tight as well.

2247
01:41:06,439 --> 01:41:11,439
Speaker 2: And I'll say the my last sock comment watching Jalen

2248
01:41:11,479 --> 01:41:13,040
Speaker 2: brunts to the day, he was wearing two pairs.

2249
01:41:13,960 --> 01:41:16,040
Speaker 1: Oh well, the NBA, that's why a players wear two pairs.

2250
01:41:16,120 --> 01:41:17,559
Speaker 1: I know, yeah, but for.

2251
01:41:17,600 --> 01:41:19,320
Speaker 2: Whatever reason, it was just I think the way he

2252
01:41:19,360 --> 01:41:21,479
Speaker 2: had one folded down, it was it was evident right

2253
01:41:21,520 --> 01:41:24,479
Speaker 2: that he had two pairlin And it's just like you

2254
01:41:24,560 --> 01:41:27,479
Speaker 2: don't really, you know, you don't see the league guys

2255
01:41:27,520 --> 01:41:31,920
Speaker 2: wearing ankle braces. No, we're playing in low tops nowadays too,

2256
01:41:32,240 --> 01:41:34,519
Speaker 2: But a lot of these shoes are. I was a

2257
01:41:34,560 --> 01:41:38,040
Speaker 2: kid that you you play with ankle braser. You can

2258
01:41:38,080 --> 01:41:40,920
Speaker 2: buy the McDavid David ankle braids. Now, I kind of

2259
01:41:41,000 --> 01:41:44,320
Speaker 2: think that with the socks where they are, you don't

2260
01:41:44,320 --> 01:41:47,160
Speaker 2: necessarily well no, no, no, not so off. The socks

2261
01:41:48,000 --> 01:41:51,120
Speaker 2: they provide just as much a support as an ankle

2262
01:41:51,160 --> 01:41:56,000
Speaker 2: brace was. Those things are sturdy, especially if you're if

2263
01:41:56,880 --> 01:42:00,080
Speaker 2: if you're wearing back to back double, if you're doubling up.

2264
01:42:01,040 --> 01:42:07,559
Speaker 1: Those are sturdy. Those are some sturdy socks. Those things

2265
01:42:07,600 --> 01:42:09,320
Speaker 1: are sturdy. They are man.

2266
01:42:09,479 --> 01:42:12,439
Speaker 2: Look all right, we got Mike Brown first, Steve Kirk

2267

Speaker 8: A's are three to twelve. Boston gave up a first

2301
01:43:54,040 --> 01:43:56,400
Speaker 8: inning grand slam, but came back to beat the Angels

2302
01:43:56,479 --> 01:43:58,920
Speaker 8: nine to seven. The Red Sox scored two hundred runs

2303
01:43:59,000 --> 01:44:01,320
Speaker 8: in the bottom of the eighth as two batters reached

2304
01:44:01,400 --> 01:44:03,600
Speaker 8: on catcher's interference. There was a hit batter and a

2305
01:44:03,640 --> 01:44:06,920
Speaker 8: basis loaded walk as well to save to Boston closer

2306

01:44:40,400 --> 01:44:42,760

01:45:21,000 --> 01:45:23,160
Speaker 3: To Mars is great talking to you, brother VJ. Verner

2332
01:45:23,240 --> 01:45:25,280
Speaker 3: Husky here Man, thanks for joining Martin VJ. Here on

2333
01:45:25,320 --> 01:45:27,559
Speaker 3: Fox Sports Radio. If you don't mind, man, I want

2334
01:45:27,560 --> 01:45:29,040
Speaker 3: to jump into some of the things that are happening

2335
01:45:29,160 --> 01:45:32,120
Speaker 3: currently in baseball, and mainly my Texas Rangers. I've been

2336
01:45:32,160 --> 01:45:34,840
Speaker 3: a fan all my life, man, and we had some

2337
01:45:34,920 --> 01:45:36,960
Speaker 3: times we went to back to back World Series, couldn't

2338
01:45:36,960 --> 01:45:38,519
Speaker 3: get it done and then just went down into the

2339
01:45:38,560 --> 01:45:40,760
Speaker 3: tank no pitchure. But it seems like you bringing the

2340
01:45:40,800 --> 01:45:42,840
Speaker 3: grom and you got some pitching now and the bats

2341
01:45:42,880 --> 01:45:43,639
Speaker 3: have always been swinging.

2342
01:45:43,760 --> 01:45:45,400
Speaker 1: They jump out eight to five even though they're down

2343
01:45:45,520 --> 01:45:45,800
Speaker 1: right now.

2344
01:45:46,120 --> 01:45:48,040
Speaker 3: Should I get excited or do I need to still

2345
01:45:48,080 --> 01:45:49,560
Speaker 3: wait a little bit and see what's happening on with

2346
01:45:49,680 --> 01:45:50,519
Speaker 3: my Texas Rangers.

2347
01:45:50,560 --> 01:45:53,519
Speaker 11: Brother, Since we are talking about the Texas Rangers, I

2348
01:45:53,560 --> 01:45:55,400
Speaker 11: would say hold off just a little bit. Is still

2349
01:45:55,439 --> 01:45:57,679
Speaker 11: early on in the season. I did like them coming

2350
01:45:57,720 --> 01:45:59,639
Speaker 11: into this season though. They made some really good moves

2351
01:45:59,680 --> 01:46:03,439
Speaker 11: getting to Graham, getting Andrew Heaney. Can't forget Bruce Bochi

2352
01:46:03,720 --> 01:46:06,720
Speaker 11: managing the team. Yes, the definitely have some reasons to

2353
01:46:06,760 --> 01:46:07,920
Speaker 11: be optimistic though for sure.

2354
01:46:08,720 --> 01:46:10,880
Speaker 1: Now this is the story of baseball so far this year.

2355
01:46:11,040 --> 01:46:12,040
Speaker 1: VJ talked about it earlier.

2356
01:46:12,040 --> 01:46:15,120
Speaker 2: They've lost two since, but thirteen and oher to start

2357
01:46:15,160 --> 01:46:18,360
Speaker 2: with the Tampa Bay Rays. You know, this is a

2358
01:46:18,479 --> 01:46:20,720
Speaker 2: division in the AL East where you're you're kind of

2359
01:46:20,800 --> 01:46:23,880
Speaker 2: concerned normally primarily with the Yankees and the Red Sox

2360
01:46:23,960 --> 01:46:26,400
Speaker 2: and the Blue Jays, and the Rays are a fun

2361
01:46:26,479 --> 01:46:29,680
Speaker 2: story most of the time. How's this one gonna shake out?

2362
01:46:29,800 --> 01:46:31,840
Speaker 2: Is this story gonna be just end up being a

2363
01:46:31,880 --> 01:46:33,360
Speaker 2: fun story? Do you think that the Rays have a

2364
01:46:33,400 --> 01:46:36,120
Speaker 2: real shot to I mean, obviously only fifteen games in,

2365
01:46:36,200 --> 01:46:39,240
Speaker 2: way too early to call it, but obviously after the

2366
01:46:39,280 --> 01:46:41,040
Speaker 2: marathon of the season, do you think the Rays have

2367
01:46:41,120 --> 01:46:42,840
Speaker 2: a shot to close out the AL East?

2368
01:46:43,840 --> 01:46:46,280
Speaker 11: I don't. I think it's gonna be similar to what

2369
01:46:46,320 --> 01:46:48,040
Speaker 11: we've seen the last couple of years with the Rays

2370
01:46:48,360 --> 01:46:50,920
Speaker 11: just great regular seasons, make it to the postseason, have

2371
01:46:51,000 --> 01:46:53,960
Speaker 11: some great runs, and then they'll eventually get bounced out.

2372
01:46:54,000 --> 01:46:56,599
Speaker 11: I believe I'm not taking anything away from their start

2373
01:46:56,680 --> 01:46:58,559
Speaker 11: to the season, but of course it would have looked

2374
01:46:58,600 --> 01:47:00,960
Speaker 11: a little different if they opened up against the Yankees,

2375
01:47:01,000 --> 01:47:03,000
Speaker 11: Blue Jays teams like that back to back. They did

2376
01:47:03,120 --> 01:47:05,680
Speaker 11: kind of have an easy schedule to start off, so

2377
01:47:05,880 --> 01:47:06,479
Speaker 11: we'll have to see.

2378
01:47:07,479 --> 01:47:09,240
Speaker 3: I know it's earlier in the year, man, so I

2379
01:47:09,360 --> 01:47:12,720
Speaker 3: want to go over something historical wise. I always tell

2380
01:47:12,760 --> 01:47:15,920
Speaker 3: people King Griffrey Jr. Was the greatest five tool player

2381
01:47:16,040 --> 01:47:18,280
Speaker 3: that I ever saw. I saw him playing person My

2382
01:47:18,360 --> 01:47:20,960
Speaker 3: stepdad took me to a game at old Baltimore Memorial

2383
01:47:21,000 --> 01:47:23,160
Speaker 3: Stadium ORIOLS when the Mariners were in town. I saw

2384
01:47:23,200 --> 01:47:24,880
Speaker 3: him hit a home run as a kid. And you

2385
01:47:24,960 --> 01:47:27,559
Speaker 3: got guys today like show Hey, like uh, like Otani,

2386
01:47:27,600 --> 01:47:30,040
Speaker 3: and you got Mike Trout, And there's guys that people

2387
01:47:30,160 --> 01:47:32,439
Speaker 3: really want to put up. There is these these greatest

2388
01:47:32,479 --> 01:47:36,000
Speaker 3: of all time guys. Where do you feel history lies

2389
01:47:36,080 --> 01:47:37,920
Speaker 3: with a lot of these players of Barry Bonds and

2390
01:47:38,000 --> 01:47:40,920
Speaker 3: King Griffy Jr. My guys that today like Otani and

2391
01:47:41,080 --> 01:47:43,360
Speaker 3: Mike Trout, and and and and Am I wrong for

2392
01:47:43,479 --> 01:47:46,559
Speaker 3: thinking that King Griffy Jr. Of our generation and era

2393
01:47:46,720 --> 01:47:48,920
Speaker 3: was the greatest five tool player baseball ever saw?

2394
01:47:50,000 --> 01:47:52,120
Speaker 11: No, not at all. I was a little young when

2395
01:47:52,160 --> 01:47:53,760
Speaker 11: Griffy was in his prime in his playing, so I

2396
01:47:53,760 --> 01:47:55,639
Speaker 11: don't remember too much of his life playing. I've seen

2397
01:47:55,680 --> 01:47:58,000
Speaker 11: a lot of highlights. But no, you're not wrong for

2398
01:47:58,080 --> 01:47:59,760
Speaker 11: thinking that at all. And then as far as a

2399
01:47:59,800 --> 01:48:03,599
Speaker 11: lot of these guys in the league now, they'red great players.

2400
01:48:04,200 --> 01:48:06,519
Speaker 11: Me personally, I'm a stats guy, so you could say

2401
01:48:06,560 --> 01:48:10,080
Speaker 11: analytics whatever I like. I like going off for production, longevity,

2402
01:48:10,920 --> 01:48:13,200
Speaker 11: all of that plays a role at least to me

2403
01:48:13,280 --> 01:48:15,439
Speaker 11: when I'm ranking players high up on that on that.

2404
01:48:15,479 --> 01:48:17,880
Speaker 1: List, who's your guy? Who who's the best? I love

2405
01:48:17,960 --> 01:48:18,920
Speaker 1: a guy like Mookie Bats.

2406
01:48:18,960 --> 01:48:21,960
Speaker 3: Mookie Bets just looks like a damn baseball player, you

2407
01:48:21,960 --> 01:48:23,840
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. He's got the chains on, he's

2408
01:48:23,880 --> 01:48:25,960
Speaker 3: got the fresh beer lineup on, like, he just looks

2409
01:48:26,040 --> 01:48:28,680
Speaker 3: like a baseball player. Bro, especially from our community where

2410
01:48:28,680 --> 01:48:30,360
Speaker 3: we come from. Who's the guy that you look at

2411
01:48:30,400 --> 01:48:31,880
Speaker 3: it Ego, that's the man right there.

2412
01:48:32,680 --> 01:48:34,720
Speaker 11: I love Mookie. I love me some Mookie, but I

2413
01:48:34,760 --> 01:48:37,120
Speaker 11: gotta go with Jazz Chisholm. I think Jazz is that

2414
01:48:37,240 --> 01:48:39,880
Speaker 11: next one up. I think he has that flashing fair too,

2415
01:48:40,000 --> 01:48:42,120
Speaker 11: has a little power, has the speed.

2416
01:48:42,000 --> 01:48:42,160
Speaker 5: You know.

2417
01:48:42,200 --> 01:48:43,479
Speaker 11: I feel like he'll be able to do a little

2418
01:48:43,479 --> 01:48:47,200
Speaker 11: bit of everything as well. So I'm excited about Jazz Chism.

2419
01:48:47,280 --> 01:48:49,840
Speaker 1: Your boy got he got more personality than a little bit.

2420
01:48:50,320 --> 01:48:53,720
Speaker 1: Uh okay, yeah, what do you need? Baseball needs that?

2421
01:48:53,960 --> 01:48:54,120
Speaker 4: Well?

2422
01:48:54,280 --> 01:48:57,120
Speaker 2: Talking about things the baseball needs. Uh, we were we

2423
01:48:57,200 --> 01:48:59,600
Speaker 2: were sitting up here watching the world Baseball Classic. It

2424
01:48:59,680 --> 01:49:03,360
Speaker 2: had everybody's attention really except for mind, but everybody else's

2425
01:49:03,400 --> 01:49:06,880
Speaker 2: attention in the world. Everybody was locked in, and the

2426
01:49:06,960 --> 01:49:10,120
Speaker 2: final moment was watching show hel Tany and Mike Trout

2427
01:49:11,439 --> 01:49:12,920
Speaker 2: Mono E mono.

2428
01:49:12,800 --> 01:49:14,120
Speaker 1: Battersbox first pitcher.

2429
01:49:14,720 --> 01:49:17,200
Speaker 2: Uh, we just saw the other day Mike Trout became

2430
01:49:17,200 --> 01:49:18,599
Speaker 2: a fourth player all the time with at least three

2431
01:49:18,640 --> 01:49:20,679
Speaker 2: hundred career doubles, three hundred career homers, and two hundred

2432
01:49:20,680 --> 01:49:23,960
Speaker 2: stolen bases by thirty one and the Angels lost again.

2433
01:49:24,439 --> 01:49:26,320
Speaker 1: Uh, you know, it's kind of a it's a it's

2434
01:49:26,439 --> 01:49:27,559
Speaker 1: it's a running joke, right.

2435
01:49:27,600 --> 01:49:30,160
Speaker 2: They got the tungsten ARML Doyle tweet where Mike Trout

2436
01:49:30,520 --> 01:49:32,599
Speaker 2: does this thing historically never seen before.

2437
01:49:32,760 --> 01:49:35,400
Speaker 1: Shot hel Tani pitches with both hands.

2438
01:49:35,439 --> 01:49:37,120
Speaker 2: It strikes out the side, Like you know what I'm saying,

2439
01:49:37,160 --> 01:49:39,400
Speaker 2: like all types of things we've seen, never seen in

2440
01:49:39,479 --> 01:49:40,599
Speaker 2: the history of baseball before.

2441
01:49:40,600 --> 01:49:41,479
Speaker 1: And the Angels lose.

2442
01:49:42,120 --> 01:49:44,439
Speaker 2: Is this more? Is this gonna be more of the same.

2443
01:49:44,560 --> 01:49:46,960
Speaker 2: You're a stats guy. I got stats for you. With

2444
01:49:47,040 --> 01:49:49,000
Speaker 2: Trout and o Tani, I got nothing else for you.

2445
01:49:49,040 --> 01:49:52,600
Speaker 11: When Anaheim, I mean for Angel fans, I feel like

2446
01:49:52,680 --> 01:49:54,800
Speaker 11: this is one of the few years we've had to

2447
01:49:54,880 --> 01:49:56,479
Speaker 11: be I'm an Angel fans, so I say we but

2448
01:49:56,600 --> 01:50:00,680
Speaker 11: we've had to be optimistic or positive. I think it's

2449
01:50:00,720 --> 01:50:02,559
Speaker 11: gonna be somewhat of the same. I think the Astros

2450
01:50:02,600 --> 01:50:05,240
Speaker 11: are gonna end up pulling away. I even think your

2451
01:50:05,320 --> 01:50:07,439
Speaker 11: Rangers have a good shot to take the division over us.

2452
01:50:07,479 --> 01:50:12,679
Speaker 11: It all depends on the health to Trout. I'll reference JR. Gambler.

2453
01:50:12,800 --> 01:50:13,040
Speaker 1: J R.

2454
01:50:13,120 --> 01:50:14,720
Speaker 11: The Gambler he mentioned earlier. I don't know if he

2455
01:50:14,760 --> 01:50:17,160
Speaker 11: saw his pushback on MLB Network, but he said, the

2456
01:50:17,240 --> 01:50:18,559
Speaker 11: Angels need to play their young cats.

2457
01:50:18,600 --> 01:50:18,720
Speaker 9: Man.

2458
01:50:18,720 --> 01:50:20,720
Speaker 11: They got some young brothers over there with a lot

2459
01:50:20,760 --> 01:50:22,519
Speaker 11: of talent. I think that can add a little boost,

2460
01:50:22,520 --> 01:50:24,280
Speaker 11: a little pop to the team. They got to bring

2461
01:50:24,360 --> 01:50:26,240
Speaker 11: those guys up, man, I start to start playing the

2462
01:50:26,320 --> 01:50:26,840
Speaker 11: young bloods.

2463
01:50:27,360 --> 01:50:29,880
Speaker 2: What's going on with the Philadelphia Phillies. Martin says they

2464
01:50:29,920 --> 01:50:32,120
Speaker 2: weren't that great last year. But what I do remember

2465
01:50:32,400 --> 01:50:33,960
Speaker 2: is they went on is they went on a run

2466
01:50:34,040 --> 01:50:36,120
Speaker 2: and they got to the World Series. But you know,

2467
01:50:36,280 --> 01:50:38,120
Speaker 2: five and hit it once again. We're asking all these

2468
01:50:38,240 --> 01:50:40,599
Speaker 2: questions in April. I get it, it's early, but it's

2469
01:50:40,680 --> 01:50:42,320
Speaker 2: just what's on the board is what we have to

2470
01:50:42,360 --> 01:50:42,720
Speaker 2: look at.

2471
01:50:42,880 --> 01:50:44,400
Speaker 3: And I go through and I'm looking through standards, and

2472
01:50:44,439 --> 01:50:45,640
Speaker 3: I'm watching some of the games and I look at

2473
01:50:45,640 --> 01:50:47,560
Speaker 3: the Phillies at five. It's in and I really and

2474
01:50:47,640 --> 01:50:50,000
Speaker 3: they brought guys in like they they went they went

2475
01:50:50,120 --> 01:50:51,200
Speaker 3: for in the off season.

2476
01:50:51,280 --> 01:50:52,960
Speaker 1: What the hell's going on in the City of Brotherly Love.

2477
01:50:53,040 --> 01:50:55,920
Speaker 11: Man, They got a couple of injuries. You know Ris Hoskins,

2478
01:50:56,000 --> 01:50:59,080
Speaker 11: that was a huge injury pitching. I know they got

2479
01:50:59,120 --> 01:51:00,920
Speaker 11: Aaron Nola, but they got some other guys who need

2480
01:51:01,000 --> 01:51:03,559
Speaker 11: to step up. And the bullpen definitely has to has

2481
01:51:03,640 --> 01:51:05,400
Speaker 11: to step up and give him some more innings. I

2482
01:51:05,439 --> 01:51:07,400
Speaker 11: think they'll be all right though. They brought in Trey Turner.

2483
01:51:07,479 --> 01:51:10,439
Speaker 11: That was a huge pickup, big signing. I got faith

2484
01:51:10,479 --> 01:51:12,200
Speaker 11: in the Phillies. I think they'll make another deep run

2485
01:51:12,400 --> 01:51:14,360
Speaker 11: and uh yeah, they'll make it to the postseason again,

2486
01:51:14,439 --> 01:51:15,240
Speaker 11: make another deep run.

2487
01:51:15,640 --> 01:51:17,240
Speaker 1: Bryce Harper has been out as well.

2488
01:51:17,520 --> 01:51:23,640
Speaker 2: Uh surprise, did you see Miguel Cabrera today He had

2489
01:51:23,640 --> 01:51:27,560
Speaker 2: a walk off It's his first time ever that he

2490
01:51:27,640 --> 01:51:30,519
Speaker 2: has had a walk off hit as a pinch hitter.

2491
01:51:31,320 --> 01:51:33,360
Speaker 2: Oh wow, And what part of the what part of

2492
01:51:33,400 --> 01:51:36,559
Speaker 2: the reason is he was an everyday starter he's turning forty.

2493
01:51:36,800 --> 01:51:40,160
Speaker 2: This is it's only it's not until very recently that

2494
01:51:40,240 --> 01:51:43,000
Speaker 2: he's not playing every day. I asked, though, because I

2495
01:51:43,120 --> 01:51:45,800
Speaker 2: was there in the height of Miguel Cabrera when he

2496
01:51:45,880 --> 01:51:49,160
Speaker 2: signed this massive contract. We you know, Trout's got one

2497
01:51:49,280 --> 01:51:53,640
Speaker 2: o tany approaching free agency? Do you see any reservations

2498
01:51:53,720 --> 01:51:57,679
Speaker 2: behind teams offering these massively humongous baseball deals by Bryce

2499
01:51:57,720 --> 01:51:59,680
Speaker 2: Harper just only he's hurt? You know, how do we

2500
01:51:59,720 --> 01:52:00,960
Speaker 2: feel about these going forward?

2501
01:52:01,040 --> 01:52:01,160
Speaker 8: Now?

2502
01:52:02,439 --> 01:52:04,519
Speaker 11: I never understood it because how many times do we

2503
01:52:04,560 --> 01:52:07,400
Speaker 11: see these players actually play out those contracts? You know,

2504
01:52:07,479 --> 01:52:09,120
Speaker 11: It's like, what's the point of even giving a ten

2505
01:52:09,200 --> 01:52:10,880
Speaker 11: year deal this and that and then you ship them

2506
01:52:10,920 --> 01:52:13,640
Speaker 11: out after four or five or if things aren't going right,

2507
01:52:13,760 --> 01:52:16,559
Speaker 11: you know, you make changes. And so I've never understood

2508
01:52:16,560 --> 01:52:20,400
Speaker 11: that that logic. But to go back to McGill Carbert

2509
01:52:20,479 --> 01:52:22,040
Speaker 11: real quick, the question is how many times has he

2510
01:52:22,080 --> 01:52:23,360
Speaker 11: even pinch it in his career?

2511
01:52:23,520 --> 01:52:29,680
Speaker 1: Twenty eight pinch hit appearances? Wow? Okay, I mean right,

2512
01:52:30,200 --> 01:52:31,599
Speaker 1: last question I want to ask you, buddy.

2513
01:52:32,000 --> 01:52:35,639
Speaker 2: We've seen these rule changes. Obviously they impacted the game.

2514
01:52:35,680 --> 01:52:37,680
Speaker 2: We've seen a lot of offense, seen a lot of

2515
01:52:37,680 --> 01:52:38,759
Speaker 2: guys running the bases.

2516
01:52:39,040 --> 01:52:41,519
Speaker 1: What's your overall takeaway on that good thing or bad thing?

2517
01:52:42,360 --> 01:52:43,439
Speaker 1: I love it. I love it.

2518
01:52:43,520 --> 01:52:46,479
Speaker 11: It's more action speeding up the game. We got more

2519
01:52:46,760 --> 01:52:51,000
Speaker 11: stolen bases with the bases increasing in size. Like I said,

2520
01:52:51,080 --> 01:52:53,160
Speaker 11: more action because of the pitch clock, faster paced.

2521
01:52:53,240 --> 01:52:57,720
Speaker 1: I like it, all right. That's demaj Moores. Thank you

2546
01:54:05,360 --> 01:54:09,840
Speaker 2: the Philadelphia seventy six Yers demolish the Brooklyn Nets today.

2547
01:54:10,720 --> 01:54:12,880
Speaker 2: They won that game by some thirty some points. It

2548
01:54:13,040 --> 01:54:13,920
Speaker 2: was it was not great.

2549
01:54:14,040 --> 01:54:15,680
Speaker 1: Was it one? Twenty one to one on one? On s?

2550
01:54:16,000 --> 01:54:19,600
Speaker 3: It was thirty at the half? But dude, oh yeah, yeah, no,

2551
01:54:19,760 --> 01:54:21,519
Speaker 3: I'm sorry. That was the Boston game. That was thirty

2552
01:54:21,520 --> 01:54:21,800
Speaker 3: and a half.

2553
01:54:22,000 --> 01:54:24,360
Speaker 2: But when I look at the Sixers, like, are we

2554
01:54:24,479 --> 01:54:26,439
Speaker 2: still in the amor with this team, Martin? Is it

2555
01:54:26,560 --> 01:54:30,040
Speaker 2: just still a coat a Doc Rivers coach team who

2556
01:54:30,160 --> 01:54:32,160
Speaker 2: came out this week and I know you saw this

2557
01:54:32,880 --> 01:54:37,000
Speaker 2: and said we were never going to win there with

2558
01:54:37,120 --> 01:54:40,000
Speaker 2: the Clippers. We just didn't get along. And like I

2559
01:54:40,240 --> 01:54:43,160
Speaker 2: was like, dude, why do people do that? Why don't

2560
01:54:43,160 --> 01:54:44,360
Speaker 2: people go back.

2561
01:54:44,760 --> 01:54:48,840
Speaker 3: And bring something up like unabated, Like no one who Doug,

2562
01:54:49,000 --> 01:54:52,200
Speaker 3: No one's even thinking about you as the coach there anymore.

2563
01:54:52,320 --> 01:54:54,680
Speaker 3: That's done and over with. But I looked at the

2564
01:54:54,800 --> 01:54:56,840
Speaker 3: team now and I'm like, yeah, you got embid and

2565
01:54:56,920 --> 01:54:59,919
Speaker 3: you got hardened. But when I look over on the sideline,

2566
01:55:00,040 --> 01:55:02,040
Speaker 3: a guy that gets the dry erase board and draws

2567
01:55:02,120 --> 01:55:04,520
Speaker 3: up the x's and those when it's most important, it's

2568
01:55:04,520 --> 01:55:06,880
Speaker 3: still Doc Rivers. And as long as that's the case,

2569
01:55:07,880 --> 01:55:09,800
Speaker 3: I just I can't pick them to get out of

2570
01:55:09,840 --> 01:55:11,000
Speaker 3: the East at any point.

2571
01:55:11,240 --> 01:55:13,000
Speaker 1: I think Boston beats him in the second round.

2572
01:55:14,040 --> 01:55:18,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I want better for Joel embiid I really as

2573
01:55:18,800 --> 01:55:19,440
Speaker 2: in a new coach.

2574
01:55:19,720 --> 01:55:20,280
Speaker 1: I just want.

2575
01:55:20,360 --> 01:55:22,680
Speaker 2: I just wish I just somehow like he, Like I

2576
01:55:22,720 --> 01:55:24,400
Speaker 2: said we said early earlier in the show, he has

2577
01:55:24,400 --> 01:55:27,040
Speaker 2: all these crazy injuries in the postseason.

2578
01:55:27,120 --> 01:55:30,040
Speaker 1: Obviously not one yet today, but only played one playoff game.

2579
01:55:30,600 --> 01:55:36,120
Speaker 2: But uh, between from Ben Simmons implosion to Doc Rivers,

2580
01:55:36,240 --> 01:55:38,640
Speaker 2: it's just you know, we look at Denver and they

2581
01:55:38,800 --> 01:55:38,960
Speaker 2: was like.

2582
01:55:38,960 --> 01:55:42,400
Speaker 1: Oh, you know, Mary and and BJ we're healthy. They

2583
01:55:42,480 --> 01:55:43,200
Speaker 1: be the one seed.

2584
01:55:43,360 --> 01:55:46,000
Speaker 2: It's like, well, the seventy six ers, this roster construction,

2585
01:55:46,240 --> 01:55:48,520
Speaker 2: just these much to be desired.

2586
01:55:48,200 --> 01:55:51,760
Speaker 10: Around Jowell Embiid, especially going back to Markel folks.

2587
01:55:51,880 --> 01:55:53,040
Speaker 1: And I mean, it's just.

2588
01:55:54,560 --> 01:55:58,160
Speaker 3: It's like, like you see, I can't find words, and

2589
01:55:58,240 --> 01:56:00,840
Speaker 3: I don't I'm trying to find a good way, something

2590
01:56:00,840 --> 01:56:02,760
Speaker 3: good to say about Philly. Like I said, they just

2591
01:56:02,840 --> 01:56:06,080
Speaker 3: feel like a team that's there. You know, you know

2592
01:56:06,120 --> 01:56:06,920
Speaker 3: they're the three seed.

2593
01:56:07,040 --> 01:56:09,120
Speaker 1: I get it. But do you do you really think

2594
01:56:09,480 --> 01:56:13,680
Speaker 1: they're gonna make any noise in this playoffs? Like at all?

2595
01:56:14,320 --> 01:56:16,400
Speaker 1: They Are they gonna challenge Boston in the second round?

2596
01:56:16,600 --> 01:56:19,160
Speaker 1: Or is that a six game series? I think it.

2597
01:56:19,520 --> 01:56:21,640
Speaker 2: I mean it'll I think it stands to be a

2598
01:56:21,720 --> 01:56:24,080
Speaker 2: six game series, but it's not one that you know,

2599
01:56:24,280 --> 01:56:26,320
Speaker 2: like there was a bunch of six to seven game

2600
01:56:26,400 --> 01:56:29,800
Speaker 2: series last year, but you know the final score would

2601
01:56:29,800 --> 01:56:32,880
Speaker 2: be one hundred and twenty one hundred every night, you

2602
01:56:32,920 --> 01:56:35,880
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying, Like like I was betting nine

2603
01:56:35,880 --> 01:56:36,960
Speaker 2: and a half either way.

2604
01:56:37,520 --> 01:56:39,400
Speaker 1: And you know what I'm saying, Like it was just

2605
01:56:39,520 --> 01:56:41,879
Speaker 1: like I'm just gonna go ahead and bet on a blowout.

2606
01:56:42,480 --> 01:56:45,800
Speaker 2: As Andrew Wiggins sends the Aaron Fox's shot back home,

2607
01:56:45,880 --> 01:56:49,080
Speaker 2: Steph Carey pulls up with another shut off the front

2608
01:56:49,080 --> 01:56:49,480
Speaker 2: of the rim.

2609
01:56:49,480 --> 01:56:50,640
Speaker 1: That would have been a second in a row.

2610
01:56:51,200 --> 01:56:53,800
Speaker 2: Sacramento's got a six I mean, Golden State's got a

2611
01:56:53,880 --> 01:56:56,200
Speaker 2: six point lead with twenty seven seconds left in the

2612
01:56:56,280 --> 01:56:59,080
Speaker 2: second quarter. As Aaron Fox is about to take a

2613
01:56:59,160 --> 01:57:01,240
Speaker 2: clutch shot here with about ten seconds left on the

2614
01:57:01,280 --> 01:57:01,720
Speaker 2: shot clock.

2615
01:57:01,840 --> 01:57:03,360
Speaker 3: You know what you're gonna see in this game as

2616
01:57:03,440 --> 01:57:06,120
Speaker 3: long as it stays tight like this. If it's like this,

2617
01:57:06,160 --> 01:57:08,080
Speaker 3: then it comes down to the fourth quarter, you're gonna

2618
01:57:08,080 --> 01:57:09,960
Speaker 3: see the difference in the team that knows they can

2619
01:57:10,040 --> 01:57:11,560
Speaker 3: go get the bucket and get the win and a

2620
01:57:11,640 --> 01:57:14,160
Speaker 3: team that's hoping to go get the buck and get

2621
01:57:14,160 --> 01:57:16,400
Speaker 3: the winners. The clock winds down six seconds left, Steph

2622
01:57:16,480 --> 01:57:18,880
Speaker 3: Curry's walking it up slowly to take the last shot

2623
01:57:18,920 --> 01:57:21,880
Speaker 3: here to end halftime and shoots a layup, gets tipped

2624
01:57:21,880 --> 01:57:22,879
Speaker 3: back up at the buzzard.

2625
01:57:22,960 --> 01:57:25,840
Speaker 1: Nope, so sixty one fifty five at the half. But yeah,

2626
01:57:26,160 --> 01:57:26,840
Speaker 1: sixty one points.

2627
01:57:26,840 --> 01:57:29,240
Speaker 3: They're on pace for one to twenty plus and that's

2628
01:57:29,240 --> 01:57:31,560
Speaker 3: what they average one nineteen one to twenty so that's

2629
01:57:31,600 --> 01:57:33,680
Speaker 3: what they're on pace for. And uh, look at the

2630
01:57:33,920 --> 01:57:36,840
Speaker 3: look at the score spread out. Wiggan's back with twelve points.

2631
01:57:36,920 --> 01:57:38,800

2632
01:57:38,960 --> 01:57:41,720

2633
01:57:42,120 --> 01:57:43,200
Speaker 2: incredibly efficient.

2634
01:57:43,280 --> 01:57:45,320
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe time off did well for you. Boy.

2635

Speaker 1: So this, to me, this is the best series of

2671
01:59:06,960 --> 01:59:08,480
Speaker 1: the of the Western Conference.

2672
01:59:08,880 --> 01:59:11,160
Speaker 2: First round here and part even over the Lakers and

Speaker 2: Memphis depend upon how that kind of starts tomorrow. Yeah, yeah,

2674
01:59:13,960 --> 01:59:16,840
Speaker 2: because it to me feels like, I mean, think about

2675
01:59:16,840 --> 01:59:19,840
Speaker 2: the drought the Warriors were on before Stephan Clay, right,

2676
01:59:20,120 --> 01:59:23,120
Speaker 2: they think about that like it could stand to be

2677
01:59:23,920 --> 01:59:29,160
Speaker 2: that the Kings. I mean, close your eyes, pinch your nose,

2678
01:59:29,600 --> 01:59:33,920
Speaker 2: look at the Kings. Okay, I see the foundations. Yep,

2679
01:59:34,040 --> 01:59:37,760

Speaker 2: Now Draymond's looking at where he's gonna be buying a

2683
01:59:43,960 --> 01:59:44,560
Speaker 2: house next.

Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, gonna be talking about it.

2685
01:59:47,840 --> 01:59:50,080
Speaker 2: So the press, the curse, the supposed is gonna be

2686
01:59:50,200 --> 01:59:53,960
Speaker 2: on there for a team that has eleven road regular.

2687
01:59:53,680 --> 01:59:57,280
Speaker 1: Season wins, all the all the attention is gonna be

2688
01:59:57,360 --> 02:00:01,440

2689
02:00:02,400 --> 02:00:04,440
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think the storylines are more fun

2690
02:00:04,480 --> 02:00:05,040
Speaker 1: in Memphis.

2691
02:00:05,440 --> 02:00:08,360
Speaker 3: And it's and it's really it's really because also the

2692
02:00:08,440 --> 02:00:11,240
Speaker 3: way the whole incident happened with Shannon Sharp and the

2693
02:00:11,320 --> 02:00:14,320
Speaker 3: players that that led that ratcheted this series up. As

2694
02:00:14,360 --> 02:00:17,440
Speaker 3: far as the extra entertainment, I think that can be

2695
02:00:17,560 --> 02:00:20,160
Speaker 3: involved with it, which I honestly hope some entertainment is.

2696
02:00:20,160 --> 02:00:21,040
Speaker 1: Involved in this series.

2697
02:00:21,240 --> 02:00:25,880
