Now 28 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:28,320 Speaker 1: you're an NBA player out here. 29 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 3: He's just so ridiculous. And I'll tell you this, I'm 30 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,479 Speaker 3: just gonna be straight up. And Luke had a great game, 31 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:35,840 Speaker 3: great win for the Lakers back to back in Miami 32 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 3: and all that other stuff. MVP, Are you kidding me? 33 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 3: How about that? There's no way, no how I would 34 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 3: vote for Luca to be MVP. First of all, the 35 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 3: guy is a defensive liability. This is the same guy 36 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 3: who's been putting up numbers all year and people said 37 00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 3: the Lakers have no shot to win. He's been scoring 38 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 3: all year. They have no shot. That's all I heard 39 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 3: about the Lakers. They have no shot to win, no 40 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 3: shot to come out of the West, right because you 41 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,920 Speaker 3: got three statues out there instead of defense. 42 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 6: We know it. 43 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:25,640 Speaker 3: And then the other part, aesthetically, he's hard to watch, 44 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 3: you know why. 45 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,360 Speaker 6: He's the biggest baby in the NBA. 46 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:33,640 Speaker 3: And he complains on every single call, every single time 47 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 3: he puts up a shot in the NBA who wants 48 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:41,920 Speaker 3: to watch that. There's a thing called sportsmanship too. That 49 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 3: should be a demerit to him. I don't care the 50 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 3: other guys who have had bigger impacts to their team. 51 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 6: We talked about it. 52 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,800 Speaker 3: I would vote for Jalen Brown ten times before I 53 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 3: would vote for Luca with your vote, Kelvin, forget about 54 00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 3: my vote, I vote. 55 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 6: I'm just saying I would even vote for him with 56 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 6: your vote. 57 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 3: Let lord mind, I can look at all these other 58 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 3: players SGA. I could even look at Ka too. Won't 59 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,799 Speaker 3: qualify and talk about what they've done to me. Most 60 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:18,359 Speaker 3: of the Lakers season was disappointing, and people wrote it off. 61 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 3: And now they got a little hot streak on and 62 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 3: now I'm supposed to act like three quarters of the 63 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 3: season that I watched didn't happen. He ain't no damn MVP. 64 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:33,119 Speaker 3: It's called prisoner of the moment. People are so phony, 65 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 3: that's what they do. They watch one night. I guess 66 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 3: Bam should be MVP after the eighty three to point debacle. 67 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 3: Where were those chance he should have been MVP. Luca's 68 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 3: not the MVP of this league, not even close. I 69 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 3: would never under the He continued to play like this, 70 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 3: the way he plays the big baby antics, I would 71 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 3: never vote for him. I'm sorry, I couldn't do it. 72 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 3: And you gotta give me more effort on both ends. 73 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 3: You don't have to be a defensive star. Warts make 74 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 3: an effort, and most of the time he doesn't make 75 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 3: an effort. That's why the Lakers got swept last year 76 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 3: and in the first round. 77 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 6: Everybody in their uncle told me. 78 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 3: Oh, Lebron and Luca, Lebron and Luca, I don't know 79 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:17,799 Speaker 3: what you're talking about. 80 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 6: Yeah, I remember it very vividly. 81 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 3: And for seventy five percent of this NBA season, nobody 82 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:30,279 Speaker 3: thought that the Luca and the Lakers were going anywhere. 83 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,919 Speaker 3: Maybe home dinner in the show, but they want to 84 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,679 Speaker 3: go to no Western Conference finals or the NBA Finals 85 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 3: for that matter. 86 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 7: A drama you just gave me for no reason. All 87 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 7: that drauma. 88 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 1: First of all, Luca Doncis is never gonna be Pete Kawhi, 89 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 1: Leonard Scottie Pippen. We were talking about effort. We know 90 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 1: that that's never gonna happen. He's never gonna be a 91 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 1: defensive star. War However, if you've been watching for the 92 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 1: last few weeks, not only has he, But that team 93 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:57,480 Speaker 1: has been playing much better defensively. 94 00:04:57,839 --> 00:04:59,160 Speaker 7: That's what kept them in games. 95 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 1: That's what allowed them to win eight straight and nine 96 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 1: of their last ten, and I think it's like ten 97 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,600 Speaker 1: of their last eleven. They've been incredible lately, and specifically 98 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,159 Speaker 1: Luca has been out of this world. Rob the Man 99 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 1: is averaging forty one nine and seven and mister Parker 100 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 1: two and a half steals all the last eight games. 101 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 1: And so we're sitting here saying nobody saying he has 102 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,280 Speaker 1: to be the MVP as we sit here, because there 103 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 1: is a guy called Sga who's been out of his 104 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 1: mind all year, and then we got an alien who's 105 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 1: seven foot five named Wimby. 106 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:34,360 Speaker 7: But to act like. 107 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 1: He's not in the conversation, it's crazy because he was 108 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 1: in the conversation for the first third of the season. 109 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 7: Then the team had a little rough pass. They're trying 110 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 7: to figure things out. 111 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,039 Speaker 1: They've been incredible over the last Like I said, I 112 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:46,159 Speaker 1: gave you the duration of it. 113 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 7: Right now, they're sitting here third and. 114 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,160 Speaker 1: You're acting as if they're the Suns at thirty nine 115 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 1: and thirty one, where it's like, ah, they're a little 116 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,239 Speaker 1: over mid or thirty four and thirty six the Clippers 117 00:05:55,320 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 1: or something. The Lakers sit here forty five and twenty five. Again, 118 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,279 Speaker 1: they're third in the West, which gives yourself a punching 119 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 1: chance of Hey, you never know what's gonna happen in 120 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:05,599 Speaker 1: the postseason. 121 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 7: That is exactly an MVP candidate. 122 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 8: And this team you can't even make an argument against 123 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 8: Jalen Jalen Brown, who did a much better job without 124 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 8: another star. 125 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 6: He has two other guys who can score. 126 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 7: Brought us absolutely an MVP here. Nobody said he wasn't. 127 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,600 Speaker 6: I'm just saying I got this four guys. 128 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,599 Speaker 8: What conversation is four people you could pick ahead of 129 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 8: Luka Dancis four. 130 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:36,039 Speaker 6: That's all I'm telling you. He not, That's not a conversation. 131 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:37,600 Speaker 3: You know what you do when you go on to 132 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 3: horse races. 133 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 7: I'm gonna tell you what's a conversation. 134 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,239 Speaker 3: There's only three spots that you look at, not four, 135 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 3: not five. If he gets up the fifth spot. 136 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 7: There's three. It's a conversation. 137 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,480 Speaker 1: It's also a conversation because we have a little rule, 138 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: as we discuss, you gotta play sixty five games, and 139 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:55,920 Speaker 1: there are guys who are teetering rights on that on 140 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,480 Speaker 1: that line, and so that also keeps it in where 141 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 1: you might mess around. And he went just based off 142 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 1: of that alone. Now obviously s g A, it looks 143 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 1: like he'll make it. 144 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 7: He'll be fine. 145 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 1: You got guys like Weimby, the are close. You got 146 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:10,679 Speaker 1: Rob even still eligible, he's like right on, he's teetering. 147 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 7: Rob GI's listened to me or not. 148 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 1: But my point is Luca has absolutely what is Yeah, Robgi, 149 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 1: you you weren't there for me when I needed you. 150 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 4: I was trying to send you a message on privately 151 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 4: about something else, but. 152 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 1: Okay, but yeah, don't be the need when I needed you. 153 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 1: I needed you work there.

That's right. 224 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 4: Chris Mannis from Sports Illustrated. It a nice little feature 225 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:57,200 Speaker 4: on SGA and his team really on Friday. And you know, 226 00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 4: they are the best team in the league, no matter 227 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 4: I say what the Lakers, they are the defending champions, 228 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 4: they are the prohibitive favorites to win it again, and 229 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 4: SGA is the prohibited favorite to go back to back 230 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 4: with the MVP. But in the feature, Mannix asked SGA about, 231 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 4: you know, the perception about him around the league. You know, 232 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 4: the idea that he's the free throw merchant, that he 233 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 4: doesn't play ethical basketball, so on and so forth, and 234 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 4: SGA had some thoughts on it here. 235 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 6: I'm gon read some of these quotes here. 236 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 4: Quote, I understand why fans are frustrated about it because 237 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,959 Speaker 4: they're an X, Y and Z fan. They're playing against us, 238 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 4: and in the past couple of years we happen to 239 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 4: beat their team, and we beat their team because he 240 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,920 Speaker 4: scored more points, and we scored more points at the 241 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:45,200 Speaker 4: free throw line, in the mid range, the three point everything. 242 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:49,679 Speaker 4: So I completely understand why they're frustrated. And then the 243 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:54,200 Speaker 4: Mannix pressed him later about the negative commentary surrounding his 244 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:59,720 Speaker 4: style of play. Specifically, SGA says, quote, everybody in the 245 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 4: history of the NBA has an arc where everybody loves 246 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:05,200 Speaker 4: them and everybody hates them. Lebron James was hated. And 247 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:06,960 Speaker 4: look what he's done for the game. It's part of 248 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 4: the game. I love it. It's stuffed I dreamed about as 249 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:11,439 Speaker 4: a kid. 250 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 2: You know what. 251 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 1: And he went on to talk about some other things. 252 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:17,200 Speaker 1: It was a good read. I'll tell you what I 253 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,560 Speaker 1: liked about this. What I like about it is he 254 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 1: talked about the fact that he understands this stuff is 255 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 1: good because he himself is gonna become the villain. People 256 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 1: are gonna write it was a couple of years ago. Man, 257 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:30,600 Speaker 1: I can't believe the Clippers got rid of him. He's 258 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 1: so nice. 259 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 7: Man. Look, I'll give up Paul George any day for him. 260 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 7: Oh wow, wow wow. Now they're having success. People don't 261 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 7: like the way he plays. 262 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,679 Speaker 1: We see him on national TV more obviously we saw 263 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 1: him in the finals, and so now it becomes he's 264 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:43,080 Speaker 1: a free throw merchant or I don't like this. 265 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 7: I don't like that about him. 266 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 1: And what I like is the fact, whether you love 267 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 1: him or hate him, he embraces this, this opportunity, He 268 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:50,679 Speaker 1: embraces this hero arc. 269 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 7: If you will. 270 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 1: He embraces that if you live long enough, the hero 271 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 1: lives long enough, you become the villain. And that he 272 00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 1: knows this is good ultimately for the NBA, because when 273 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,079 Speaker 1: they come into town, you're gonna go watch them, boo them, 274 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 1: hate them, or obviously you may love them, love him, 275 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,200 Speaker 1: love the team, and that they're keep being good as 276 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 1: they have been. Then they start to be in a 277 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 1: deep postseason run, they start to be in the finals, 278 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 1: rob and one of the things we may start to 279 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 1: get is. 280 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 7: Some great rivalries again. 281 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 1: We might get Denver and Thunder had another six game, 282 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 1: seven game series. We might get him and the Thunder 283 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:23,839 Speaker 1: versus Spurs two or three times over the next few years. 284 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,200 Speaker 1: We might get them against the Celtics or maybe some 285 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 1: Pistons for the next few years. 286 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:28,599 Speaker 7: So to me, he understood that. 287 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:32,440 Speaker 1: He mentioned that in this article that I know what 288 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 1: comes with this territory winning a lot. It reads a 289 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:37,840 Speaker 1: little hate, a little envy, also a little love and 290 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 1: praise for people. It also allows for us to have 291 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,719 Speaker 1: some rivalries that at the end of the day, all 292 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 1: of this is good for the NBA, and I just 293 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,679 Speaker 1: love kind of where we've start to tend trend towards 294 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 1: where the teams are playing hard again, teams are competitive, 295 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:52,640 Speaker 1: and we had a handful of rob ge rob you 296 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:54,679 Speaker 1: might recall, we had a handful of weeks where it 297 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 1: was Dagner a fight every other other other game. 298 00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:58,840 Speaker 7: So I like where it's going. 299 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 1: And the best thing about it, again is whether you 300 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,720 Speaker 1: like or love him or hate him, that he fully 301 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:04,839 Speaker 1: understands this. I mean Lebron James talked about how he 302 00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:08,320 Speaker 1: struggled that first year with Miami when for the first 303 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,079 Speaker 1: time in his life, he had the black hat, right 304 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,080 Speaker 1: when the first time in his life he was getting 305 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 1: a negative criticism, right because when he grew up as 306 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 1: a high schooler, it was a while look at this 307 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 1: feed up coming got the league, Wow, he could be 308 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,960 Speaker 1: the future of the league. Got the shows, chose to leave. 309 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,200 Speaker 1: That's when the hate started, and he didn't know how 310 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 1: to handle that. He wasn't prepared, he admitted. I tried 311 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 1: to wear the black hat. 312 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 7: I didn't like it. It wasn't me. I tried to be 313 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 7: mean to the media, mean the fans, and it wasn't me. 314 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:33,120 Speaker 7: He said. 315 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 1: SGA knows that comes with the territory. So I think 316 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 1: that's great that this team know it, they're prepared for it, 317 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 1: and to me, it leads to a better version of 318 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 1: the NBA as we move forward. 319 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 3: Rob, Yeah, I don't agree. I don't think anybody hates SGA. 320 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 3: They might not like style of play. He's just not 321 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 3: what bad guys. He's a guy from Canada who doesn't 322 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 3: say anything. How could he be a bad guy. Yeah, 323 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 3: you don't like his style of play, you might not be. 324 00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 3: I just don't see him moving in need on most nights. 325 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 6: In the NBA. 326 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 3: Other than that, they're talented, they keep winning, and he 327 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 3: scores twenty points every night. 328 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:08,760 Speaker 8: I don't hear the conversation. Is there a conversation that 329 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 8: I'm missing about him? 330 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,800 Speaker 7: No? I think a great example is I'm just saying, 331 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:14,480 Speaker 7: you know how you brought up Luke. 332 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:16,600 Speaker 1: A lot of people look at on one end. If 333 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 1: you're just a person fail from ours, you would be like, uh, 334 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 1: why don't people like this guy? His dudes, he's insane, 335 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 1: he makes a bunch shot. He scored forty games or less. 336 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 1: But people talk about he's you know, he always going 337 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,120 Speaker 1: to free throw. I always call him for files or 338 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 1: James Hard was MVP candidate or MVP winner for years 339 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 1: and always always drawn files. Like once you start winning, 340 00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:36,840 Speaker 1: once you start having a lot of big time, prime 341 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 1: time games and you're winning, we start to have reasons 342 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:39,880 Speaker 1: in it. 343 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 7: Pick and I'm not I agree with you. I don't 344 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 7: think he's. 345 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 3: Honestly, I don't say anything as a b I don't 346 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 3: see the buzz for him. 347 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 6: Even after that. 348 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 3: People respect that he won, even last year you know 349 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 3: he won. People don't like his style of game, you know, 350 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 3: at the free throw line there's all that. 351 00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 6: Even players are talking about that. 352 00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,200 Speaker 3: But I don't know if there's any venom or any 353 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 3: kind of pushback on him, you know, I mean this 354 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 3: idea of being a villain in the NBA or something 355 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 3: because he's winning. 356 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:09,440 Speaker 6: I'm not sure. I think he'd have. 357 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 8: To win a lot. I think it's if they don't 358 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 8: win this year. I say they don't win this year. 359 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 6: I just don't like people will be like, oh, that 360 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 6: was great, look at what they did. SGA. 361 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 3: Maybe wins another MV pole, but they don't win, then 362 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 3: I don't know where that conversation goes from there, do you. 363 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 6: Know what I mean? 364 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 1: I really the only thing I would challenge that is 365 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 1: I agree with the sentiment, except I will say they 366 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:34,520 Speaker 1: don't have to win it. I think even if they 367 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 1: make a deep playoff rom when we saw him for 368 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,720 Speaker 1: first round, second round saying Western Counence Finals, say they 369 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 1: lose to the Spurs or Denver, however, it would work out. 370 00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 1: But if we saw two th rounds of what people 371 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 1: call unethical ball or what And here's another point, rod Gi, 372 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:53,360 Speaker 1: you ray recall what they were saying about the thunder 373 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,560 Speaker 1: I was listening to even listening to some shows today, 374 00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 1: people are like, oh, if you want to see some basketball, 375 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,240 Speaker 1: gets a little dirty gets a little They were filing 376 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 1: Jokic and the the Nuggets and the way they were 377 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 1: playing their style. Once you start winning, once we start 378 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 1: to see that, right now, it becomes oh, they only 379 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,080 Speaker 1: win because they file, They only win because they played 380 00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:15,800 Speaker 1: a little dirty, or they only win because of that 381 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:16,480 Speaker 1: all the only. 382 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:17,480 Speaker 7: Win because against a free throw. 383 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 1: I agree, Rob, I think another deep playoff run is 384 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:21,160 Speaker 1: where it starts. 385 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:22,560 Speaker 7: I think we're a little too early. I think you 386 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:24,520 Speaker 7: start to hear the noise, start to hear the grumblings. 387 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,360 Speaker 1: One more deep playoff run, let alone a playoff a championship. 388 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:30,199 Speaker 1: Then I think it starts to become a thing. He 389 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,840 Speaker 1: only scores because of this, He only does that. Man, 390 00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:34,560 Speaker 1: they only beat them, but they only beat the Spurs. 391 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 1: They were filing winby. Look how they were getting up 392 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:38,440 Speaker 1: under winby. But that's dirty. I think that's when it 393 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,479 Speaker 1: starts to happen. But I do agree another deep playoff run. 394 00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:42,880 Speaker 1: I don't think it has to be a championship. That's 395 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,680 Speaker 1: where I'll disagree. But a deep playoff run, I think 396 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:47,359 Speaker 1: you'll hear louder murmurs of that. 397 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:53,080 Speaker 6: Yeah, I just like a villain. He's just a nice guy. 398 00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:56,880 Speaker 3: To me, just people don't like the way he plays, 399 00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:00,960 Speaker 3: and you know it takes two seconds to change his game, 400 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 3: and it would be interesting to see if that happened 401 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 3: the same way the change no not him, the league 402 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 3: and the way that they did with James Harden in 403 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,080 Speaker 3: the playoffs. They wouldn't give him that little you know 404 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:13,800 Speaker 3: what I mean, where he used to get all the 405 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,320 Speaker 3: fouls and in the playoffs they would make him have 406 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 3: to earn his baskets and that changed everything. If you 407 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:21,280 Speaker 3: look at at James Harden was always looking for the 408 00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 3: call that he used to get during the regular season. 409 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,440 Speaker 3: If they decided to do that one time and one 410 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 3: all this postseason with SGA, I think that would change things. 411 00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:32,960 Speaker 6: And then I. 412 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 3: Would like to see where he is not going to 413 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:37,560 Speaker 3: the free throw line that often, you know what I 414 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 3: mean in a playoff run. 415 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:42,359 Speaker 1: Well, I think skill wise, I mean, his mid range 416 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:43,240 Speaker 1: is a beautiful it's. 417 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:45,439 Speaker 3: Saying he can't do that, but I'm just saying he 418 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 3: does get a lot of free throw. 419 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:47,400 Speaker 7: Oh, without a doubt. 420 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:50,480 Speaker 1: I think he takes I think him Luca Embiid when 421 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 1: he's healthy, Joker, there's a handful of Giannis. There's a 422 00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 1: handful of guys who take full advantage of that peak 423 00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 1: hard and obviously he's not the same guy anymore. 424 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:01,560 Speaker 7: They take key Cunningham. 425 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,680 Speaker 1: Actually takes for a guard for a wing for you know, 426 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,199 Speaker 1: not a huge player, he takes advantage of that. Let 427 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:10,640 Speaker 1: me ask you this, Rob, we have Jalen Brown who's 428 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:14,240 Speaker 1: talked about him recently kind of in disgust. We've had 429 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 1: coaches who talk about it, of talking about him personally. 430 00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:19,199 Speaker 7: What do you make of that? 431 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:20,800 Speaker 1: Where it's one thing of me and this is what 432 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:22,119 Speaker 1: we do, right, is what we get up here every 433 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:23,960 Speaker 1: day we talk about stuff. It's one thing for debate 434 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 1: TV shows, one thing for guys in the barbershop, But 435 00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:28,080 Speaker 1: what do you make of players actually speaking about it? 436 00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,480 Speaker 1: When you got again, Jaylen Brown just quoted me said, 437 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,200 Speaker 1: I just don't file bait. I'm not looking to flop 438 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,439 Speaker 1: or anything like that. But it's almost like you got to. 439 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:37,960 Speaker 1: So it's like we commend players for playing the game 440 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:39,680 Speaker 1: the right way, but we give the benefits to those 441 00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 1: who necessarily aren't, who are trying to manipulate the game. 442 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:44,400 Speaker 7: So that's just to read what he said. 443 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 1: You got Mike Brown, of course, of the knicks, he 444 00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:50,520 Speaker 1: said SGA does a great job of convincing referees that 445 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 1: he's convincing by the way that he's getting hit. 446 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:54,520 Speaker 7: So what do you make of that? 447 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:56,480 Speaker 1: Just it's one thing if you and I are talking 448 00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 1: about it, but more so the league itself and coaches 449 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 1: and players. 450 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:03,199 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't see it as like sour grapes. I 451 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 3: just see it as the idea that you know, it's 452 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 3: a style of play that they have seen him get 453 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,400 Speaker 3: an advantage, you know, and and the number of free 454 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 3: throws and all that kind of stuff. So I understand 455 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:20,120 Speaker 3: if you're a purist or you like the game or whatever, 456 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:21,760 Speaker 3: it's hard to watch. 457 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:25,160 Speaker 6: It's hard. You would just hope that people are shot makers. 458 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:28,560 Speaker 3: You remember that NBA Finals when Dwayne Wade got a 459 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 3: million free throws against Dallas? 460 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:32,960 Speaker 6: Yeah against I mean, am I right? 461 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:37,040 Speaker 3: Like? That was that was ugly. It was terrible people 462 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:40,920 Speaker 3: people really hated it. And you couldn't touch Dwayne Wade 463 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:41,640 Speaker 3: if you remember. 464 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 7: Yeah, know that that's a fair point. People with the 465 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,200 Speaker 7: people brought it up there instead. 466 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 6: Yeah, they brought that out. It was like what is 467 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 6: what is this? 468 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 3: And that is when you consider remember Dallas won the 469 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 3: first two games of that series, and then all of 470 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:57,240 Speaker 3: a sudden, all of a sudden, the referee and changed 471 00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:58,919 Speaker 3: and and and they had no shot. 472 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 1: You know, let me throw another guy in here, who 473 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 1: I have to admit I feel this way. I see him, 474 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,080 Speaker 1: and I get frustrated watching him play. Maybe you and 475 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,760 Speaker 1: you Rob G may agree or disagree, but Jalen Brunton's 476 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 1: in that category two, Like I get it. Luca Luca, 477 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:18,200 Speaker 1: by the way, Luca Sga shoots fewer free throws in 478 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 1: Luca and also Denny e Vita as well, he shoots 479 00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 1: less than those guys. Just just to give some context 480 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,119 Speaker 1: other wing players, but Jalen Brunton has some of that 481 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 1: game too, where it's like all right, all right, Jalen, 482 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:31,000 Speaker 1: like just just get a bucket or just shoot it, 483 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 1: or you know, what are we doing here trying to 484 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:34,879 Speaker 1: bait and file. So I do think they are a 485 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 1: handful of guys you just acknowledge and realize if I 486 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 1: can get ten attempts, I'm gonna make eight of them. 487 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:42,679 Speaker 1: That's eight points, you know, and then I figure out 488 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,160 Speaker 1: the rest and also getting guys in foul trouble. 489 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 7: I just think they use it to their advantage. 490 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,240 Speaker 1: But I understand esthetically, it can be kind of ugly 491 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,280 Speaker 1: at time, because I feel that way for me. The 492 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,680 Speaker 1: main guy when I watch is Jalen Brunton. He does 493 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:54,879 Speaker 1: it a lot, but a smaller player. 494 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:56,840 Speaker 7: I get he almost I want to say, has to, 495 00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 7: but it's definitely something that he uses to his advantage 496 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 7: when you watch him play. 497 00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,879 Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 498 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 2: the nation.

But at least we got some good games 512 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:40,920 Speaker 10: today to make me feel a little better. 513 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 6: I thought after the last two years, you would be 514 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:44,040 Speaker 6: used to it by now. 515 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:47,959 Speaker 4: Oh, come on like that. 516 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 3: Now, I'm just I'm asking and I want to ask 517 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 3: you about Hubert Davis. 518 00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 6: I think he should be fired. 519 00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:59,439 Speaker 3: You know, with where North Carolina is, there's no way 520 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,119 Speaker 3: you should blow that game, that a big lead. And 521 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:06,000 Speaker 3: we've seen this happen the championship game even with years 522 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:06,960 Speaker 3: back at a big lead. 523 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:08,920 Speaker 6: What what's going on at North Carolina? 524 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:10,000 Speaker 10: Uh? 525 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 6: And uh, what do you expect? 526 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:16,120 Speaker 10: Yeah, that's what I have the same same settlement as you, man. 527 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:19,200 Speaker 10: I just I don't know, you know where we're the 528 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:22,320 Speaker 10: adjustments yesterday. You know, I'm not I'm not a guy, 529 00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 10: you know. I know we all got egos. You know, 530 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,399 Speaker 10: we're prideful and what we do. That's just part of 531 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 10: being human. But at some point you got to adapt 532 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:31,320 Speaker 10: to the game. And all you had to do was 533 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:33,800 Speaker 10: just throw a zone in there, kind of change it up. 534 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,480 Speaker 10: You know, somebody's eating up all over the court. At 535 00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:38,320 Speaker 10: some point you got to say, all right, this is enough. 536 00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 10: So that's kind of been the problem. I mean, you 537 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 10: look at the season, it's been a success and uh, 538 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,760 Speaker 10: you know, they hit on the portal, they got Henry Basar. 539 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,119 Speaker 10: Some of the guys didn't paying out the way that 540 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,399 Speaker 10: they wanted them to. But you at least had a 541 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:55,400 Speaker 10: duo in in Caleb Wilson and Henry Basar. They did 542 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:57,960 Speaker 10: their thing, and you know, part of basketball, you get 543 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,200 Speaker 10: a lot of luck too, and they just got unlucky. 544 00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:04,800 Speaker 10: But you know, if if Hubert got fired today, I 545 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,480 Speaker 10: would tell someone. You know, I'm not surprised at all. 546 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:09,359 Speaker 10: I think it warn't you know, I think it would 547 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:13,119 Speaker 10: warrant that because of what has happened over the past years. 548 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:15,680 Speaker 10: And you know, we've seen it from both extremes. We've 549 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 10: seen them being up and blowing leads. But then last 550 00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 10: year the case was they always were. They were getting 551 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,360 Speaker 10: down by twenty thirty points and then making a comeback. 552 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:24,760 Speaker 7: Right. 553 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 1: Hey, I'll tell you what, Joe, I think I speak 554 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:29,280 Speaker 1: for Rob too. I appreciate your honesty, you know what 555 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 1: I mean. Some don't want to because affiliation with the 556 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:33,879 Speaker 1: school and don't want to, you know, say anything. 557 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:35,840 Speaker 6: You you were just talking about the real right. 558 00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,160 Speaker 7: But yeah, but you know we talked about all the time. 559 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 7: Some people they still want them Blazers, the tickets to. 560 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:44,480 Speaker 8: The free seat, you know, all that kid from the 561 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:46,720 Speaker 8: Christmas gift bag, right, Yeah, yeah. 562 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,600 Speaker 10: Yeah, they want them Jordan's man. 563 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 7: For some mean Yeah, So I appreciate your honesty. There. 564 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,119 Speaker 7: Let me ask you this. You you played, obviously you 565 00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:56,479 Speaker 7: want a championship. You played. 566 00:24:56,720 --> 00:25:00,760 Speaker 1: How difficult is it to teach somebody who's young. We 567 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:02,879 Speaker 1: got a lot of really freshmen females who were in this. 568 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:05,640 Speaker 1: But how you know you had freshmen coming in when 569 00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 1: you were a sophomore, junior, senior to get them to 570 00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:11,439 Speaker 1: understand Nah, the tournament's a little different. Nah, the pressure 571 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 1: is a little different. Oh, this game is a little bigger. 572 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,200 Speaker 1: Or maybe I'm wrong. Maybe you tell us, hey, just 573 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:18,080 Speaker 1: keep your head, it's the same game. But how do 574 00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 1: you explain that to somebody who's never played in the tournament? 575 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:21,680 Speaker 2: Man? 576 00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:24,160 Speaker 10: This is a you know, it's a great question. I'm 577 00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:27,480 Speaker 10: reading a book about Roger Federer and how he has, 578 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:31,640 Speaker 10: how he came about, and how his career evolved from 579 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 10: when he was young to when he really started going 580 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,680 Speaker 10: on a run and really just knocking tennis out of 581 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:41,560 Speaker 10: the just taking over tennis. And the difference was he 582 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,240 Speaker 10: understood how to play the game. He had the talent. 583 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:46,400 Speaker 10: That's the thing with all of these young guys. They 584 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,120 Speaker 10: have talent, they got all the tools, they got all 585 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:52,800 Speaker 10: the intangibles. But what you don't realize is there's a 586 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:56,320 Speaker 10: difference just going out and playing basketball and then compared 587 00:25:56,359 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 10: to going out and playing winning basketball. And Roger Federer's 588 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,119 Speaker 10: about how he had to start playing the game within 589 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:06,199 Speaker 10: the game, learning how to take advantage of when the 590 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:09,360 Speaker 10: momentum was on his side, when to kind of, you know, 591 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,320 Speaker 10: get himself in the position where okay, maybe I got 592 00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:14,399 Speaker 10: to slow it down a little bit and then find 593 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:18,679 Speaker 10: my pocket to attack. That's the difference between basketball and 594 00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,880 Speaker 10: playing winning basketball. And during the tournament, that's what you. 595 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:22,399 Speaker 4: Have to have. 596 00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:24,680 Speaker 10: You got to know when you need to slow it down. 597 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:26,440 Speaker 10: You got to know when you need to speed it up, 598 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:28,960 Speaker 10: and you have to know when you need to adapt 599 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,400 Speaker 10: to the game. We all come in with game plans, 600 00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:34,320 Speaker 10: but you have to know, okay, maybe that was our thing. 601 00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 10: We got to change it up a little bit because 602 00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:40,600 Speaker 10: this team is exposing that's the difference between basketball and 603 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:42,439 Speaker 10: winning basketball. And that's what you got to get the 604 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 10: young guys to understand like that. 605 00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:48,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, I wanted to ask you about Michigan and where 606 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:52,320 Speaker 3: they fall in. I'm just curious. You know, they had 607 00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 3: a really great season. Some people were like, we had 608 00:26:56,840 --> 00:27:00,119 Speaker 3: some antalists on they're going to win the championship of 609 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,960 Speaker 3: people like they won't you know, get past the second round. 610 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,639 Speaker 3: Where are you on Michigan, uh? And where do they 611 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:07,000 Speaker 3: fit into this tournament? 612 00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:10,159 Speaker 10: Yeah? I like, I like Michigan has on paper, they 613 00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,439 Speaker 10: got you know, they got really good size. They have 614 00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:16,320 Speaker 10: bigs that can play make I like bigs that can 615 00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 10: be the be the quarterback out on the perimeter and 616 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:23,040 Speaker 10: allow the guards and other wings to kind of be receivers. 617 00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,280 Speaker 10: I think that makes your team hard to game plan. 618 00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:27,639 Speaker 10: But as I look at Michigan, you look at them 619 00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:30,240 Speaker 10: at the start of the season, everybody wanted to crown 620 00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:34,879 Speaker 10: them national champions, especially after that that players out in 621 00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:37,879 Speaker 10: Las Vegas. But the thing is you got to start 622 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 10: looking at trends and as you towards the end of 623 00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:44,240 Speaker 10: the season, the teams in the Big Ten, they started 624 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,920 Speaker 10: figuring them out and they weren't as high. And then 625 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 10: some of these teams like TCU were having chances against 626 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,320 Speaker 10: them Ohio State, but you kind of saw the drop 627 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:55,359 Speaker 10: off a little bit. So I think a lot of 628 00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:57,480 Speaker 10: it have to do with, you know, casing being out 629 00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:00,760 Speaker 10: as well, like your bench has to be strong, and 630 00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:02,720 Speaker 10: he was able to come in and kind of change 631 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:04,680 Speaker 10: the flavor of the game for them a little bit. 632 00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:07,119 Speaker 10: But I still think they have the pieces. I like 633 00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:10,120 Speaker 10: that they can play inside. When you look at them 634 00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:14,040 Speaker 10: throughout the tournament, you know they have the ability to 635 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:17,159 Speaker 10: knock down shots. It's just about keeping the gas on 636 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:19,399 Speaker 10: the pedal for them. But I think they do have 637 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 10: the pieces to win it all. 638 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,119 Speaker 7: Yeah, what's gonna be. It should be a good tournament 639 00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:24,240 Speaker 7: for them. We'll have to wait and see. 640 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:27,520 Speaker 1: Joe Berry the second twenty seventeen most Outstanding Player of 641 00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:30,600 Speaker 1: the tournament. ACC Network analysts on with the Yacht couple 642 00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:33,800 Speaker 1: on this fucky flashback Friday. Let me go here with you, 643 00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:38,560 Speaker 1: Cavin Boozer, aj Debonta out, Cameron Boozer got a scare 644 00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:41,120 Speaker 1: acuff Junior look fantastic so far. 645 00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:43,320 Speaker 7: A couple other guys here, Kayler Wilson. 646 00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:44,480 Speaker 1: We can kind of go on and all, But who 647 00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:47,720 Speaker 1: are you looking at If you're de Bonsa, what's it 648 00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:48,640 Speaker 1: like now you're out? 649 00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:49,760 Speaker 7: What was that season like? 650 00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:52,120 Speaker 1: And if you're a pro one of the teams in 651 00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:53,880 Speaker 1: the league, who are you looking at? 652 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:54,040 Speaker 2: Us? 653 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:55,800 Speaker 7: Saying potentially number one pick? Who do you like? 654 00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:58,720 Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean it's hard not to go with AJ 655 00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:02,120 Speaker 10: Debomcer because you look at his ability to be able 656 00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:04,280 Speaker 10: to impact the inside of the paint, being able to 657 00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:06,480 Speaker 10: get to the basket, and I mean some of those 658 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:10,600 Speaker 10: sentences he had in that game against Texas was ridiculous. 659 00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:13,720 Speaker 10: But he has off the tools and intangibles that you 660 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:16,160 Speaker 10: want in a player. He can handle it. He has size, 661 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:19,280 Speaker 10: he has length. I think the only question, and I 662 00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:21,960 Speaker 10: don't think it's unknown, is what is he going to 663 00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:25,040 Speaker 10: do defensively? But that's the thing though, I mean, look, 664 00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:28,560 Speaker 10: look we could talk about defense here. That's going, that's 665 00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 10: going one hundred and fifty points a night. I don't 666 00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:36,120 Speaker 10: think saying, you know, can he play defense, that's that's 667 00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:39,280 Speaker 10: not the case. He'll you know, eventually, that'll that'll come on. 668 00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,840 Speaker 10: But if I'm looking at you know, taking the number 669 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:45,360 Speaker 10: one pick, I'm going Aj Debomson. But also look at 670 00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:48,160 Speaker 10: Cam Like a lot of people are saying the athleticism 671 00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:51,000 Speaker 10: for Cam is a problem. But if Yo Kis can 672 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:53,800 Speaker 10: can ball out in the NBA and you can't even 673 00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 10: slide a piece of paper up under his feet, you know, 674 00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:00,440 Speaker 10: he just the way that he's able to read the game, 675 00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:03,240 Speaker 10: the IQ being able to see the play before the 676 00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:07,320 Speaker 10: play Like that's skill too. Like skill isn't just athleticism 677 00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:09,440 Speaker 10: and just being able to handle the ball, go between 678 00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:12,800 Speaker 10: your legs and wiggle. Skill is also iq being able 679 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:15,200 Speaker 10: to see the floor, make reeves. That's what the NBA 680 00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:18,360 Speaker 10: is breed and react. So it's going to be a 681 00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:20,280 Speaker 10: hard peak for these gms. I wouldn't want to be 682 00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:22,920 Speaker 10: in their position, but man, they got a lot of 683 00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:24,040 Speaker 10: talent to pick from. 684 00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:25,640 Speaker 6: The last thing. 685 00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:29,880 Speaker 3: I want to ask you about Saint John's and Rick 686 00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:34,000 Speaker 3: Patino and just where do they fit in They're playing tonight, 687 00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:36,280 Speaker 3: They're up by twenty something at the half, you know 688 00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:41,240 Speaker 3: against Northern Iowa. Just do they have a shot? Is 689 00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:43,080 Speaker 3: there some magic there for Rick Patino? 690 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:46,080 Speaker 10: Yeah? I think there is. I think you look at 691 00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:48,880 Speaker 10: this team and they're one of those teams that's hard 692 00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:52,280 Speaker 10: to go against because they play such an unorthodox style 693 00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:55,920 Speaker 10: of play. They get after you defensively, they bring intensity, 694 00:30:55,960 --> 00:31:00,720 Speaker 10: they have physicality. You know Zoobie down they're in the block, 695 00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:03,040 Speaker 10: you can get him the ball and he also can 696 00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:05,560 Speaker 10: step out and hit the three. I think the question 697 00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,800 Speaker 10: for me is can they have enough structure throughout the 698 00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:13,080 Speaker 10: NCAA tournament when the game presents it where they need structure, Like, 699 00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:18,040 Speaker 10: at some point, you can't play this whole helter skelter basketball. 700 00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:20,320 Speaker 10: You've got to be able to slow the game down. 701 00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:22,560 Speaker 10: You've got to be able to take your time and 702 00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:26,200 Speaker 10: be able to play efficiently. That's my only question about 703 00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:28,840 Speaker 10: Saint John's when that presents itself. Can they do that? 704 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:29,920 Speaker 10: All right? 705 00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:31,800 Speaker 7: Well, that's why they play the games. My man will 706 00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:32,200 Speaker 7: have to wait. 707 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,280 Speaker 1: And so I appreciate you, Joel, thank you so much. 708 00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:35,320 Speaker 1: My God, appreciate it. 709 00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:35,760 Speaker 6: Thank you. 710 00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:38,400 Speaker 10: Yes, her, I appreciate you all having me. Y'all enjoy 711 00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:39,800 Speaker 10: the rest of the night and the tournament. 712 00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:40,800 Speaker 7: Yes, no doubt.
