I've been 44 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,239 Speaker 1: trying to get him for years. Uh. You know, he 45 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 1: blessed us with some time last week and again a 46 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 1: live show on top of that. The vibe was incredible. 47 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 1: The funny part, I hope that we edit and show 48 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 1: when I had to take a quick pee break and 49 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,399 Speaker 1: Paul Pierce just jumped up as the collage with Jack 50 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 1: and started ye, I hope we keep that in there. 51 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 1: Actually was perfect, Unlike it was just so I wasn't 52 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 1: playing it. He just hopped up and kept kept the 53 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 1: show going. So I thought that was dope. But in 54 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 1: other news, bad Laker news, obviously, Anthony Davis goes down 55 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 1: with the foot injury. He's been playing absolutely unbelievable avenge 56 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: about twenty seven and a half and twelve. Hurt himself 57 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 1: against Denver. Didn't look too bad, but they say he'll 58 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 1: be out for a handful of weeks. Um Again, I 59 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 1: think this season, of all scenes I can remember outside 60 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:02,679 Speaker 1: of the bubble, like Anthony Davis kind of reminded the 61 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: world who he is. He's been playing tremendous basketball. Um. 62 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 1: But another injury. UM. An unfortunate, random injury. But Gilanni 63 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 1: is this who Anthony Davis is when he's healthy, He's unincredible. 64 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 1: But the hardest thing is to keep him healthy. We 65 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 1: don't we don't like to play games with people injuries. 66 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,079 Speaker 1: You know, we're not in those locker rooms every day. 67 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 1: It looks like a D is trying to turn the 68 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,360 Speaker 1: corner and be you know, serviceable for us. Close to 69 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 1: a D two games and he has he started the game, 70 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,919 Speaker 1: remember wins and through back injuries, you know, playing in 71 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 1: the first couple of games of the season. So I 72 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: think this is this you might have to just logically, 73 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 1: as when you're assessing your talent in the front office, 74 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 1: you might have to accept the a D may need somebody, 75 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 1: you know, to run against him, an understudy. I think 76 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 1: Thomas Brian is you know, before people Thomas Brian got injured, 77 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: Thimes Brian was a health of a player. Solid. Yeah, 78 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 1: he was dellow double DeAndre DeAndre ish with Jumper. I 79 00:03:57,920 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 1: look at guys like that, but I think a D 80 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 1: is all was gonna need somebody on the side, so 81 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 1: you know, here and there when these injuries or even 82 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 1: just when he needs to take time off to step 83 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: in and be able to be productive at this spot. Yeah, 84 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 1: I mean it's just unfortunate. I mean it's he's so talented. 85 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,280 Speaker 1: And again, I think this last run of maybe six 86 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 1: to eight weeks, like he's really imposed his dominance on 87 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,719 Speaker 1: the game. And and and shooting a high field goal 88 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 1: percentage seem like the Lakers and Lebron they were running 89 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 1: through a D and and the team had been playing 90 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:30,839 Speaker 1: a lot better. You know, Lebron was able to be 91 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 1: himself by still running through a D. Russ has bought 92 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 1: into his role. Shout out to d ham Um. The 93 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,040 Speaker 1: role players have been playing well. But obviously this is 94 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 1: a huge hit. So they actually come to Sacramento tomorrow, 95 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 1: so I'll be calling that game. So the interesting to 96 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,160 Speaker 1: see what kind of energy this team has. Knowing that 97 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,919 Speaker 1: you know, their go to guys gonna be down for 98 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:55,360 Speaker 1: about a month, it should be used to it. Unfortunately. Yeah, 99 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 1: next up, Um, something weird man and and and and 100 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 1: I hate it because it's coming from former players. Um, 101 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 1: I'll start with my brother Eddie House. How he was 102 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:09,600 Speaker 1: disrespectful to the Orlando Magic when they played at home 103 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: and home with the Celtics. Um, the Magic beat him 104 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 1: the first time in Boston, Eddie says some some low 105 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,840 Speaker 1: key disrespectful ship and then you know, with this new 106 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 1: schedules at home and home. So Orlando got him the 107 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 1: next time they played, you know, the day after, two 108 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:27,600 Speaker 1: days after in Boston, and and uh, you know, some 109 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:31,040 Speaker 1: of the Orlando players trolled him with the ray for 110 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 1: Austin slap during the playoffs and wait for slap Eddie 111 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 1: and Eddie got into the back and forth and told me, 112 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: you know, win one of these in Holler. But again, 113 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 1: Eddie House being my brother. Um, I just don't like 114 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 1: that kind of like I don't feel like, like, why 115 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 1: do we feel like we have to disrespect these this 116 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,040 Speaker 1: this generation of players. Again, our job as former players 117 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,279 Speaker 1: is tough because we have to be critical and sometimes 118 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 1: you know, for me, I'm you know, critique and former 119 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:57,719 Speaker 1: teammates or whatever it is. But I feel like you 120 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,559 Speaker 1: could still be critical without disrespect. And then this bum 121 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 1: ask motherfucker while the zerbiak Uh, it's just completely disrespecting. Yeah, exactly, 122 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 1: Tyrese Halliburn, who's leading the league and assist calling him 123 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 1: a fake All Star and fake this and fake that. 124 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 1: I'm just like like, why, like, what's the point of that, like, 125 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 1: what do you get out of that? You know, you 126 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 1: know these people on these and I'm on a regional network, 127 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 1: you know, I'm not here insect doing NBC Bay Area. 128 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:24,720 Speaker 1: But it's just like, I don't see why former players 129 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 1: feel like it's like it's their spotter that that doesn't 130 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:31,600 Speaker 1: make them feel better to disrespect these guys, Like, to me, 131 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 1: this ship is super weak. I don't like it. Um, 132 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 1: what do you think some of us have more G 133 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 1: four team classified than others. I'm well aware of that. 134 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 1: You know, we have all of us as former players. 135 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 1: If you're gonna hop on these devices and get in 136 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 1: front of people, we all have a responsibility to do 137 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 1: it a little better. I feel like it's too easy 138 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 1: for you know, former players to text shots and diggs, 139 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:56,600 Speaker 1: you know, while they got the camera in front of 140 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,159 Speaker 1: their facing. But I know it's a hard job because 141 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:00,599 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, that's how they're going 142 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,600 Speaker 1: to keep their job. You know, there's been a handful 143 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 1: of players that have been able to, you know, get 144 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 1: their sea legs and criticize you know, Uh, I don't 145 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: know why while these aerbiac is talking about that last time, 146 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 1: you know, I knew he was on the shoulders of 147 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 1: a lot of other great players, you know, soaking up 148 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 1: some minutes and shots, and then they were left around. 149 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 1: And I know he might have some moments, but I 150 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 1: don't think he has the G four team classified to 151 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 1: be speaking up like he's shot or KG or anybody 152 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 1: else for that matter. So I think it's on them. 153 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 1: They gotta go do better, and they gotta go look 154 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 1: in the mirror and figure out how they want to 155 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 1: be leaders. Yeah, I mean, I think you hit it. 156 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 1: You know, obviously there's been talking, you know, Shock and Kenny, 157 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 1: and those guys are G fourteen classified, So I mean, 158 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 1: if they're gonna talk to ship, they're gonna talk their ship. 159 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 1: But I just you know, outside of those two guys 160 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 1: in particular, it's just like there's been five thousand players 161 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 1: in the history of the NBA. So that's why it 162 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 1: bothers me a former players feel like they have to 163 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: shoot on the younger players because of the history of 164 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 1: the game. Only five thousand people ever played this game, 165 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: and everybody in the world wants to be in the game, 166 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 1: so these guys can respect and understand how hard it 167 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 1: is for these young boys to kind of make their way, 168 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 1: but I just see it so often. Man, It's just like, man, 169 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 1: it's it's it's a tough position, but if you know 170 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 1: the game well enough, you can talk about plenty of 171 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 1: other ship. And again, we have to critique, that's it's 172 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 1: part of our job. But to me, you can critique 173 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 1: without disrespecting. I thought would while the serb A deal 174 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 1: was some bitch ass ship and I didn't even like 175 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 1: with Eddie Houston and that's my homeboy. So it's just like, man, 176 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 1: we gotta do better. Um as former players, like you said, 177 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 1: they have this camera in our face and and and 178 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:35,200 Speaker 1: it's our obligation to report back to the fans. So anyway, 179 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 1: come on, man, that's how you get that, That's how 180 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 1: you get that disconnect. That's how you get that disconnect. 181 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 1: And that's why younger players don't funk with older players 182 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 1: because it's stupid ship like that. So anyway, moving on, 183 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 1: the nets are creeping up the Eastern Conference ladder over 184 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 1: the last ten games, Kevin Durant is at thirty three, 185 00:08:56,120 --> 00:09:02,080 Speaker 1: seven and five. Um, I've always said, and we haven't 186 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 1: really got a chance to see this line with this 187 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 1: whole team since they've been to Brooklyn has always been 188 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 1: so much outside noise. You know, it's you know, Katie 189 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 1: was hurt when he first came, uh, you know, then 190 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,680 Speaker 1: they're able to get James, and then Kyrie kind of 191 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 1: goes on his hiatus and you know, his you know, 192 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 1: not vaccinated, and then all the stuff that was going 193 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,680 Speaker 1: on this year, and it seems like all this stuff 194 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 1: is behind him. And when these two guys, in particular 195 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 1: Kevin and Kyrie just get a chance to play straight basketball. 196 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 1: There's not too many people in the history of the 197 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,679 Speaker 1: game that are better than these two guys. So it's 198 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,199 Speaker 1: it's beautiful to see that, you know, Jack Bond has 199 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,079 Speaker 1: these guys heading in the right direction, um three and 200 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 1: a half back from the number one seed, and you 201 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 1: know that they were terrible, you know, just not too 202 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:44,320 Speaker 1: long ago. So what are your thoughts on on the 203 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 1: next kind of climbing the ladder now that the outside 204 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,560 Speaker 1: know it's the silence and basketball is to the forefront. 205 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 1: I mean, I think we hinted to this a couple 206 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,200 Speaker 1: of w b s ago on my feelings about how 207 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,960 Speaker 1: Jack ma Jack Von might have been that guy for 208 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 1: this team, and it seems like he is. He's keep 209 00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:02,200 Speaker 1: the this team close together and just who and you 210 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,200 Speaker 1: know in northern outside nonsense that's going on, you know, 211 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,840 Speaker 1: but whether it's you know, ownership or you know, media, 212 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 1: it seems like k D. Katie has G fourteen G 213 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 1: fourteen classified, so it seems like his comment might to 214 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,000 Speaker 1: put fire. And so some people's asks, you know what 215 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 1: I mean, included himself and Kyrie. So we talked about, 216 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:23,440 Speaker 1: you know, the nets for a reason because at the 217 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 1: end of the day, I think we said, nobody, if 218 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,679 Speaker 1: they ever get this ship together, don't don't nobody want 219 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:29,559 Speaker 1: to see the nets in the east exeparate hand for 220 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,680 Speaker 1: the teams, and that could flip flop with injuries and 221 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,720 Speaker 1: you know, the the NBA, the storylines are just awesome. 222 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 1: Health is gonna be a player, big part, and it 223 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 1: seemed like they're you know, they're getting a couple of 224 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 1: pieces back and staying healthy and I think they're gonna 225 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 1: still I think the nets are gonna be just fine. Yeah, 226 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:45,960 Speaker 1: I mean, it'll be interesting to me. You know. You 227 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 1: see that they're looking to actively trade Joe Harris, but 228 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 1: they got him back, they got Curry back, t J. Warren, 229 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 1: someone who's very underrated. Why, I like a lot got 230 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 1: him back in the mix. Um, so be interesting to 231 00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 1: see if they make any moves before the All Star break. 232 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,839 Speaker 1: But know, anytime you have Kyrie and and and KD 233 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: healthy and just playing basketball, it's the hell of a 234 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 1: two man game. Man, So wish them the best of 235 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 1: luck and happy for them just to be able to 236 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:15,080 Speaker 1: play basketball break. He knews here on what's burning. The 237 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 1: Phoenix Suns have been sold to a gentleman named Matt 238 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,679 Speaker 1: ish b. Excuse me if I mispronounced his last name, uh, 239 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,560 Speaker 1: Michigan State grad. If I'm not mistaken, I think he 240 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 1: was a walk on basketball player there who's in the 241 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 1: mortgage space now. But the Sons have been sold. Um, 242 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 1: I think it's good. You know, the Robert Sarver situation, 243 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 1: to me, he didn't get enough heat because so much 244 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 1: ship came right after him that he made Doka stuff 245 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:40,960 Speaker 1: and then the Kyrie stuff, so no one really got 246 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 1: to focus on what kind of piece of ship Robert 247 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 1: Sarver is. But glad that this transaction has happened for 248 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 1: the sake of the NBA. UM. Again, there's no room 249 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:54,320 Speaker 1: for racism or sexism or just being a bad person. 250 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 1: And yeah it is MS and and That's what Robert 251 00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 1: Sarver was, So congratulations, gone, congratulations. The Sons have been 252 00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:04,320 Speaker 1: sold to a to a to a guy with some 253 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,320 Speaker 1: morals and integrity, and you know, I hope he continues 254 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 1: to help this team playing the latter. Phoenix is a 255 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 1: great city, great fan base. Um, you know, so I 256 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 1: wish CP and Book and those guys the best. Now 257 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,199 Speaker 1: back to your regular scheduled program. Donovan Mitchell Eastern Conference 258 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:24,840 Speaker 1: Player of the Week. Uh, four straight wins, best home 259 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 1: record in the East, or excuse me, best home record 260 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:31,560 Speaker 1: in the NBA, third in the East currently, Lana is 261 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:35,840 Speaker 1: this legitimate contender? You feel like in the Eastern Conference 262 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:40,680 Speaker 1: or let alone the league? I do. I mean, I 263 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:42,840 Speaker 1: think I'm gonna start rather than in Cleveland right now, 264 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 1: Donovan Mitchell seems that, you know, there's the the articles 265 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 1: and or the links to you know what, because his 266 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 1: time has been like in Utah and when you know 267 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,439 Speaker 1: how he's feeling a little bit more comfortable in Cleveland, 268 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 1: you know. Uh, And I can I can imagine why. 269 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,839 Speaker 1: But I like this team. There's youth, there's experience, there's 270 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:07,719 Speaker 1: championships experience. They got an excellent coach, Um, they got 271 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 1: some pieces, they can move around there, they have links, 272 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 1: they have speed, they have shooting, they have defense. Uh, 273 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 1: I could think they're the top defensive team in the league. 274 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,720 Speaker 1: So I think they're holding down the number one record 275 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 1: at home and they're number one record on defense for 276 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 1: a reason. That's because they're pretty They might be pretty good, 277 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,320 Speaker 1: you know. So I'm happy for these young dudes, you know, 278 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 1: I help they continue to stay healthy. Like if we said, 279 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 1: we all know that's a big part of it. Happy 280 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 1: for don event, and I think they're gonna remain up there, 281 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 1: you know, top three, top four store spots in the 282 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 1: East and nobody, nobody might not be there to call 283 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 1: their bluff at the end of the day. Sometimes that's 284 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,199 Speaker 1: what this ship comes down to. You can get you know, 285 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 1: I mean galvanized and going on a good road. When 286 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 1: it's seven out of ten games every ten, six out 287 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 1: of four, you know, if you're looking up, you're still 288 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,840 Speaker 1: in that top three spot. You produced some winning habits 289 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 1: for you know, three season. Everything every season is different. 290 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 1: So I like this Cleveland team and I'm gonna start 291 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 1: rolling with him. Plus they have switch over there, you know, 292 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 1: they host the Swish and His Cleveland Weekend from the 293 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 1: Browns doing the course side of at the Cavalier game. 294 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,319 Speaker 1: So I'm happy today, you know, acknowledge one of their 295 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,319 Speaker 1: former players, and I think I'm an start rolling with 296 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 1: the Cavaliers. Yeah, definitely shout out JR. Um. I like 297 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 1: this team again, young team, uh, young coach, playing the 298 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:26,680 Speaker 1: right way. Um. This Eastern Conference is just the motherfucker though. Man, 299 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 1: the Celtics, the Bucks. I think this is a second 300 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 1: round team. And and like you said, if no one 301 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 1: calls their bluff, I could see them making the Eastern 302 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 1: Conference finals. I don't know if they're ready to represent 303 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 1: the Eastern Conference in the finals, but I definitely think 304 00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 1: this team has headed the right way for all the 305 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 1: reasons you said. I really like this team. Uh. You 306 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 1: touched on the Jonovan Mitchell situation. Are you get a 307 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 1: chance to read the article? Uh that Marcus Spears just 308 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 1: did an interview with him, but it was it caught 309 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 1: my instantly because he was talking about kind of the 310 00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:00,200 Speaker 1: energy in Utah and Jack and I have been talking 311 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,600 Speaker 1: about this ship since oh six, oh seven are excuse 312 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 1: me the oh seven season when we said there's just 313 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 1: racism and he talked about being pulled over and how 314 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 1: he was getting harassed until he showed his idea and 315 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 1: who he was, and it made him think, like what 316 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 1: about the other black people here? Uh, you know that 317 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 1: I don't have my position and power, Like how are 318 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 1: they treated and and how people can cheer for him 319 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:24,520 Speaker 1: one second and then the next second. Uh, just the 320 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:28,680 Speaker 1: negative racial tension energy. And he spoke to obviously playing 321 00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 1: in Cleveland where he sees more people that look like 322 00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,680 Speaker 1: him and he feels that a lot more comfortable. And 323 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:35,960 Speaker 1: it was crazy because obviously I didn't know this interview 324 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,160 Speaker 1: was comparable when Cleveland came to Sacramento. I went down 325 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 1: the court and talked to him, and I'm just like, man, 326 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 1: I have a great season, Like, how would like what's 327 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 1: going was changed?

But I remember I talked about this 523 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 1: the other day. I don't remember why, but I remember 524 00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,840 Speaker 1: when I was younger, my first basketball. I remember my 525 00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,560 Speaker 1: Mattie Johnson Larry Bird both had their own Spaulding ball, 526 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:20,000 Speaker 1: and my mom knew I love Mattice Johnson, but she 527 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,240 Speaker 1: went and she said that all the Mattie Johnson balls 528 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:23,880 Speaker 1: were sold out, so I had to get a Larry 529 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,639 Speaker 1: Bird ball. And I was mad as motherfucker, but also 530 00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,680 Speaker 1: happy to have my first basketball. So this is man. 531 00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:32,320 Speaker 1: This is probably like nineteen eight seven, nineteen eighty eight, 532 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:34,560 Speaker 1: but I remember that because I was looking forward to 533 00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,240 Speaker 1: the signature of being I have got a Mattete Johnson basketball, 534 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:39,560 Speaker 1: but I ended up being Larry Bird. Uh. And I 535 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:41,480 Speaker 1: was disappointed at the same time and I was super 536 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,200 Speaker 1: happy to have my first basketball, so that she shout 537 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,760 Speaker 1: out to Larry Bird man now that she said that 538 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:49,560 Speaker 1: when I was a kid and I got this sugar 539 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,399 Speaker 1: right then, and I wanted to sugar. Then your boxing gloves, 540 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,120 Speaker 1: remember the sugar rend the boxing gloves, and they got 541 00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:57,479 Speaker 1: you ship and they got they got you sugar smacks 542 00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 1: boxing gloves.

There you go, we got we got 545 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,760 Speaker 1: a friend of the program in the building getting entirely 546 00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:15,960 Speaker 1: too much love to edit. Man, I don't know how 547 00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:20,200 Speaker 1: how does this happening at Genomatic at the moment? Who 548 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:24,640 Speaker 1: do you think is the top player? That's a good questions, 549 00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 1: such a question in the moment. In the moment, I mean, 550 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,520 Speaker 1: three guys come to mind right now to me, and 551 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:37,600 Speaker 1: it's Jason Tatum, Janice and Steph to me, you know 552 00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:41,240 Speaker 1: you can throw Katie in there as well. Um, but 553 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go ahead and take you Jason Tatum, like 554 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:44,720 Speaker 1: I said, I mean, I think he's got his team 555 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:47,919 Speaker 1: playing great basketball. He personally is playing great basketball. I 556 00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 1: think he's odds on favor right now, him and Janice 557 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:53,399 Speaker 1: Uh to win m VP. I know Luca could be 558 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:56,760 Speaker 1: in that mix too, um, but I really like what 559 00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:00,399 Speaker 1: Jason Tatum has been able to do with his team. Um, 560 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:05,360 Speaker 1: and individually, I like what Jason Tatum is doing right now. 561 00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:08,399 Speaker 1: I'm obviously and you're always gonna be up there with 562 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:11,199 Speaker 1: your honest but the ship that Luca is doing, what 563 00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:15,520 Speaker 1: you know, with the lines and you know, the lineup 564 00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:18,040 Speaker 1: that he has down there and like not there's not 565 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:21,040 Speaker 1: a lot of help, and the way he's scoring and 566 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:25,040 Speaker 1: the different creative ship that he's doing right now, he's 567 00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:27,840 Speaker 1: almost musty. You know, he's up there with jobs as 568 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,040 Speaker 1: far as you know, they're different watches. You're not gonna 569 00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:32,320 Speaker 1: get the super dunk and all the crazy ship, but 570 00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 1: the level of basketball that he plays in the trifling 571 00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:38,040 Speaker 1: rollo ship. Did he get off when he plays? All 572 00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:41,280 Speaker 1: the uncle ship that he does, you know, and and 573 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:43,400 Speaker 1: all this weird ship, you know what I mean, off 574 00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 1: balance wrong hand ship is just amazing to watch, you 575 00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 1: know what I mean. I know he's he's uses rate 576 00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:51,680 Speaker 1: this high, but just to see somebody go out there 577 00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,080 Speaker 1: at night and night and do that ship over and 578 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,680 Speaker 1: over and over again, he's my top pick for the 579 00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,240 Speaker 1: best player. I might switch next week, but we say 580 00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:04,280 Speaker 1: it right here and now, yeah, go with Luca. I 581 00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:06,160 Speaker 1: think I don't think you can go wrong obviously with 582 00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:10,320 Speaker 1: Luca and and and his his workload and what he 583 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:12,520 Speaker 1: has to do for that team every single night just 584 00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:15,080 Speaker 1: to have them in the game. Uh, you know, obviously, 585 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:16,920 Speaker 1: I don't think I don't think they got better in 586 00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:18,880 Speaker 1: this offseason. With all due respect, you know, they made 587 00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:22,960 Speaker 1: a beautiful run last season. Obviously, losing Brunson was huge, 588 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:26,120 Speaker 1: but I don't feel like they replaced him. And the 589 00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:29,640 Speaker 1: fact that we're even talking about Dallas just shows how 590 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:33,000 Speaker 1: good Luca is. It's funny too, because you know the 591 00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:34,760 Speaker 1: oh the ra ship you say you pulled out. This 592 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,320 Speaker 1: dude is still super young. He's playing like a bat. 593 00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:40,320 Speaker 1: So I look forward to his game maturing and him 594 00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:42,440 Speaker 1: getting a little older, because you know, the only more 595 00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:45,800 Speaker 1: isms come at that time. So lucas a cold, cold 596 00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:50,120 Speaker 1: cold boy. Luca Tatum, Joannice, Steph k D. I don't 597 00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:51,560 Speaker 1: think you can go wrong with even one of those 598 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:54,160 Speaker 1: five as far as who you feel the best player 599 00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:57,320 Speaker 1: in the NBA is right now, last, but not least, 600 00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:01,440 Speaker 1: at Nate dot Burling game. Should the Blazers make any 601 00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:04,520 Speaker 1: moves before the trade deadline, I want to say the 602 00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:07,640 Speaker 1: Blazers are currently like in the sixth slot. Um is 603 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:13,640 Speaker 1: that correct? Um? Dame is starting to find this footing. Uh. 604 00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:18,160 Speaker 1: Up and coming young superstar Anthony Simons. I saw him 605 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:22,400 Speaker 1: playing person It was super impressed with his game. He's 606 00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:24,920 Speaker 1: I mean to to louse c J was tough, but 607 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:27,200 Speaker 1: if you had to lose c J, I don't think 608 00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,040 Speaker 1: you could have replaced him with a better young player 609 00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:30,880 Speaker 1: with possibly more of an upside. And I said that 610 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:32,680 Speaker 1: without the respected c J comes a hell of a 611 00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:35,160 Speaker 1: player in this league. But Anthony Simmons is it is different. 612 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:39,200 Speaker 1: And you know Shaden Sharp is gotta rocket up his ask. 613 00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:42,880 Speaker 1: That's dude's flying all over the gym. Jeremy Grant has 614 00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:46,440 Speaker 1: been having a great season. Um, But I I feel 615 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:49,360 Speaker 1: like they need one more piece, you know, with the 616 00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:51,680 Speaker 1: guys I named, and you know Nurkics is over there, 617 00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:54,880 Speaker 1: but I feel like they need one more piece. I 618 00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:57,000 Speaker 1: don't really watch them enough to know what it is, 619 00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:00,240 Speaker 1: but I feel like they're a piece away. And I'm 620 00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:02,160 Speaker 1: not sure what it is. But I mean, obviously the 621 00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:04,440 Speaker 1: guys I just name are all having, you know, playing 622 00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:06,760 Speaker 1: their hearts out in and again. I love to see 623 00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:09,520 Speaker 1: obviously for Dame's commitment. I just want to see Dame win. 624 00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:12,320 Speaker 1: So what are your thoughts with them? What's dope is 625 00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,440 Speaker 1: all the players that Chauncey talks about this summer and 626 00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:17,760 Speaker 1: the off season that he was looking forward to saying 627 00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:21,680 Speaker 1: during this upcomm they're all doing their thing, you know 628 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:23,959 Speaker 1: what I mean. So hats off to Chauncey for you know, 629 00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:26,760 Speaker 1: having the foresight and you know, putting the confidence in 630 00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:28,800 Speaker 1: the young players to let him know, Hey, I'm about 631 00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:30,760 Speaker 1: to let you rock. And it seems like, you know, 632 00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:33,480 Speaker 1: they're up to the up to the responsibility. I don't 633 00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:36,200 Speaker 1: watch them enough, you know, uh, the same same way 634 00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,640 Speaker 1: as you. But I know they Mike, you know, they 635 00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:40,840 Speaker 1: could use another piece, but we're not on to just 636 00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:43,000 Speaker 1: get a piece, just to get a piece and try 637 00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:45,520 Speaker 1: as it has to be the right piece. But you know, 638 00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:48,560 Speaker 1: shout out to Chauncey. They got new ownership over there too, right, 639 00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:51,680 Speaker 1: you know, the Blazers look like uh about to do 640 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:54,040 Speaker 1: but they're ready to do their things. So I'm just 641 00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,360 Speaker 1: happy that, like you said, Dane gets to get back 642 00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:58,360 Speaker 1: and you know what I mean. You mentioned that, you know, 643 00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:02,120 Speaker 1: not be playing well below in the toilet he's actually 644 00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:05,600 Speaker 1: applied for a playoffs spot. So happy for Dame, of course, 645 00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:09,720 Speaker 1: happy you know, shout out to the Blazers before we 646 00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:14,720 Speaker 1: get out of here. Also, Dame became the Portland's trail 647 00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:18,640 Speaker 1: Blazers all time Ladies score, passing the great Clyde to 648 00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:24,600 Speaker 1: Glide Drexler, So even more reason to teach your motherfucking horn, bro. Obviously, 649 00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:27,240 Speaker 1: I think the reason why Dame doesn't get his just 650 00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:30,040 Speaker 1: do is because of the team he's on and the 651 00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:33,640 Speaker 1: fact that they're best teams in my opinion, coincided with 652 00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:37,400 Speaker 1: the Warriors dynasty run because Dame had some good Portland 653 00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:39,920 Speaker 1: teams that would have always run into the Warriors. But uh, 654 00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:42,880 Speaker 1: you know, similar similar to Quick again, like it hasn't 655 00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:46,560 Speaker 1: he hasn't been as mainstream, uh in the market and 656 00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:48,520 Speaker 1: as far as team performance to kind of get the 657 00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:51,080 Speaker 1: recognition he deserves. But Dame will go down definitely as 658 00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:54,360 Speaker 1: one of the coldest and greatest shooters to ever do it. 659 00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:59,320 Speaker 1: So congratulations on passing Clyde and keep climbing, Bro. That's 660 00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:03,040 Speaker 1: a wrap.
