42
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: Lebron James, Cleveland Cavaliers verse the Indiana Pacers. So many

43
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: things to go right, so many things can go wrong. Now,

00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,120

45
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: he answers with the bullshit answers. All my legacy is this.

46
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: My legacy isn't just about basketball. My legacy has already

47
00:03:52,040 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: been carved out. Bullshit, bull shit, bullshit, bullshit. Okay, if

48
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: this game doesn't mean anything to you, Lebron James, why

49
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: the fuck are you playing? Retire? Be done. You've proved enough.

50
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: We know it means something to you. We also know

51
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: that if you lose this Game seven in Cleveland versus

00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: the Indiana Pacers, you're done. You're finished, You're leaving Cleveland.

59
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 1: we've been through. We have been through some unspoken things

60
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: that have been unspoken ramifications of me bringing that broom

61
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 1: to Cleveland and me bringing that plunger to Oakland for

62
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: Game five of the NBA Finals last year. Unspoken things

63
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 1: have happened, and that true, Lebron. But we all know

64
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 1: that you don't want to be bumped out of the

65
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: first round in your fifteen season. We all know that

66
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:16,279

00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:45,160

99
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: game seven, and that is my prediction, that is my

100
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 1: final prediction, that Lebron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers will

101
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: lose Game seven. When you lose that game, that's it.

Speaker 1: after gained seven reared his ugly head throwing one Kevin

154
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 1: Love under the bus once again. That is not some passive,

155
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: aggressive artistic stylings of Lebron James. That's just fucking mean.

156
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 1: You don't think, you don't think Kevin Love already feels

157
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 1: bad enough. You gotta drag him if you think that's

158
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 1: gonna motivate him. You don't think he's motivated enough, Lebron,

159
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 1: pick him up when he's down. You fuck you. You

160
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 1: created this monster called the Cleveland Cavaliers. You and only

161
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: you. You You cleared out the entire roster. Okay, that's all you,

162
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: Lebron James. You couldn't coexist with Kyrie Irving for some reason.

163
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:27,439
Speaker 1: I told you it's part of being the greatest player

164
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 1: in the world. You take the good with the fucking bad.

165
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 1: I do it. I do it all the time. You

166
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 1: think that I chose this ship talking life. Fuck No,

167
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 1: this ship talking life chose me. Okay, I don't know

168
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: what that has to do with Lebron James, but I

169
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 1: am just telling you. There are ramifications of talking shit,

170
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:53,199
Speaker 1: and there are ramifications of getting the chosen one tattooed

171
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 1: on your back. There are ramifications of annointing yourself the

172
00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:05,839
Speaker 1: fucking king. It's the way it works. It's big boy problems. Alright,

173
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:09,439
Speaker 1: coming up, I told you, I told you what it

174
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: was gonna be. All right, coming up right now. My

175
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 1: first prediction, my man, I'll capitan Stephen Jackson rocking with

176
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,559
Speaker 1: me on the I m Rapp Reports Stereo podcast. It's

177
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: gonna be fast, It's gonna be furious. It's two questions.

178
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: What is your prediction for game seven? And what is

179
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 1: the biggest game you ever played in? Coming up next? Hello,

180
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 1: Stack Paper, what's going on? My guy? All right? Steven Jackson,

181
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: how are you feeling? My man, bless man? Nothing ain't

182
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 1: nothing going all same old, same old, all right. I

183
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 1: told you I wasn't gonna keep you long. It's a

184
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 1: very very very important emergency. I am Rappaport Stereo podcast,

185
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 1: Diary of a mad fan, and I am just a fan.

186
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:11,560
Speaker 1: But I know I needed to talk to someone who

187
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: really did it in the trenches. So I got two

188
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 1: questions for you, Stack, two very simple questions. First question,

189
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: Game seven, Indiana Pacers Cleveland Cavaliers. What is your prediction

190
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 1: and why my prediction is Lebron James. And my reason

191
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 1: is the Cleveland's gonna win. And my reason why because

192
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 1: everybody that play against him, they tend to be starstruck.

193
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 1: They don't file him hard. Everybody's all excited about he

194
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 1: finally drew some blood. That was an accident to have.

195
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 1: Half the time when Lebron play, Uh, the other teams

196
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 1: the starstruck, They scared the Guarden, scared the file Even

197
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: though Oldpo was having a great series. I really don't

198
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 1: feel like Lances really did nothing to disturb Lebron. He's

199
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 1: just making an you know, he's he's just trying to

200
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 1: be difficult with Lebron. But it looks kind of weird.

201
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 1: But Lebron has been he's having a great game. Uh,

202
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 1: they're not doing the right things to try to make Lebron,

203
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 1: uh make the game difficult for him, on making it

204
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 1: hard on him. It's perfect example the last game they

205
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 1: won to Cleveland. This is why I'm gonna be a

206
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 1: great coach. There's nowhere in hell that Lebron is even

207
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: supposed to catch the ball. As as terrorists Cleveland is,

208
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 1: you only have one other guy that can make a

209
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 1: shot to win the game. In my mind, that's Jerry

210
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: Smith take the ball completely out of lebron hands and

211
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 1: when the game are going over time, but they let

212
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 1: the best player in the world get a wide open

213
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 1: shot to win the game. The coaching, the competition, and

214
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 1: and and the just sense of urgency. When you're the playoffs,

215
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 1: it's dead and uh it's it's easy to see that

216
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 1: Lebron is gonna win because they haven't been competing against

217
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 1: him like they should, like we would have. All right,

218
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 1: you see, see this is why I fun with you, Stack.

219
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 1: This is why you and I know you're laughing because

220
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 1: you're so used to beat on TV that response can't

221
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 1: be on national TV. This is why I fun with you, Stack.

222
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 1: And you know what I would I would I wish

223
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 1: I could say this old TV too. I fun with

224
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 1: you the same way. So I mean, listen, I'm not

225
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 1: talking about maiming a guy, but simple games. In game six,

226
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 1: Lebron gave Miles Turner a hard foul like a gave

227
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 1: him a little forearm. But Lebron, and he's incredible. Everybody knows. Uh,

228
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 1: you know, I can't stand it, but I will sit

229
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: here and tell you that he's the m v P

230
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 1: every season. But he comes through the lane and no

231
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 1: one ever gives him. I'm not saying do something illegal,

232
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: but knock him on his ass, like one time, the

233
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 1: way he knocked Miles Turner down with the little forearm

234
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 1: and the foul well, and and then and then. And

235
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 1: that's the thing too, that that comes from competing, That

236
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 1: comes from being willing to put your body on the

237
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 1: line for your teammates, That comes from doing anything to

238
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 1: help your team win the game. Now me personally, if

239
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 1: I was on the team, I know, I'm not know

240
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 1: what close to being the athlete that Lebron is, but

241
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 1: I can high enough to hit his arm or to

242
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 1: knock him down. This proof, Mike and I always say,

243
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:08,639
Speaker 1: that's why you know I'm always said to be a

244
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 1: real because I can always always have a proof behind

245
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 1: everything I say. Lebrons I think his first year was

246
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: two thousand three to two thousand four. I'm not mistaken.

247
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 1: I was playing for the lint of Hawks. He was

248
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:20,880
Speaker 1: a rookie. He came and tried to dunk on me,

249
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 1: and I have footage of it. I grabbed him and

250
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:25,679
Speaker 1: slammed them to the ground. And this wasn't even the playoffs.

251
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 1: This was regular season. You're not about You're not about

252
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,160
Speaker 1: to be embarrass me, and I want to win. I'm

253
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 1: not I'm not about to let I'm not gonna let

254
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 1: you dunk on me or any one of my teammates,

255
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,399
Speaker 1: if I can file you. That was the passion I

256
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 1: had for the game. These guys, they took concerned about

257
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,120
Speaker 1: signing with his agent. They took concerned about being his friend.

258
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 1: In the off season, every everybody wanted to get on

259
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 1: the banana boat. News flash, y'all, it's the only room

260
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 1: for four people on the banana boat. Carmelo's d V

261
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 1: way to Chris Paul. Ain't no room for y'all on

262
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 1: the banana boat. So stop jerking Lebron off. Uh, stop

263
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:00,879
Speaker 1: stop pading him on the bag. Look, you supposed to

264
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,399
Speaker 1: be competing against him. But at the same time, this

265
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 1: is one reason why I would never say Lebron is

266
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 1: better than Mike, because Jordan went through a harder time.

267
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 1: The competition was better now. Don't get me wrong, the

268
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 1: talent is better now, but the the competition was better

269
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 1: back then. I tell people this all the time. Michael

270
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 1: Jordan is by far the best ever to play the game.

271
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 1: But I want my kids to be like Lebron. Why

272
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 1: do you say you want your kids to be like Lebron.

273
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 1: I want my kids to be like Lebron because as

274
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 1: an athlete, as a human being, as a father, as

275
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 1: a black man, he has done everything right. This is

276
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 1: what a lot of people don't talk about with his family, wise,

277
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 1: his wife, growing up, with his wife, raising his kids,

278
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 1: speaking up on issues that Michael Jordan them still don't

279
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 1: speak on. Uh. The stuff he does and how he

280
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: uses it, it's a it's stardom. He used it as

281
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 1: as the best as any other star. And this is

282
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 1: one thing that I I salute him on because every

283
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 1: player in the NBA, especially from the hood, has all

284
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,400
Speaker 1: tried this, and Lebron the only one to get it right. Mike,

285
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 1: He's the only one in NBA history, in my mind,

286
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 1: to get it right. We've all came in the NBA.

287
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 1: We're trying to bring our friends and our home wasn't long.

288
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 1: Trying to give them sensuations, to get them a job,

289
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 1: put them in situation to make money. Because we're in

290
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:23,160
Speaker 1: that situation. Well, nine percent of the NBA has failed,

291
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 1: and I'm even saying with myself, I failed because I

292
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,919
Speaker 1: spent so much wasting so much money on trying to

293
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 1: help friends and do things the right way when I

294
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 1: had no blueprint, no plan how to do it. I

295
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 1: just felt like as much as I love my friends

296
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,439
Speaker 1: and I had money, then money was gonna help us

297
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:43,400
Speaker 1: figure out how to get it done. It don't work

298
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,440
Speaker 1: that way. Lebron and his friends they did the right way.

299
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 1: Not only did he put them in positions to be

300
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 1: successful and be millionaires, but they decided to go to

301
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 1: school and get degrees on their own and then came

302
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 1: back to Lebron would get with with with business plans

303
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 1: and game plans to help them when Lebron was already

304
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 1: in the sitial wation to help him. So he's the

305
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,360
Speaker 1: only person you can talk to a minion NBA players,

306
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:08,880
Speaker 1: Alan Ives and me Bonsey Wales, whoever brought friends long

307
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 1: because we all have. None of our friends are here

308
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: today in positions that that that that are successful are

309
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 1: are more successful to us. It ain't a knock against

310
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 1: my friends, It ain't not against me. It was just

311
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 1: we was We didn't know how to do it. We

312
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 1: had no blueprint from it. We didn't we we didn't

313
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 1: have it. The right way. Lebron didn't, or him and

314
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 1: his friends didn't the right way. So when I sat

315
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 1: with my children to look up to Lebron and be

316
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 1: like Lebron, because Lebron did everything the right way. Didn't

317
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 1: have a father. That was an excuse. Uh came out

318
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:40,639
Speaker 1: of high school. They that what they say when you

319
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 1: come out of high school, they're not ready to have

320
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:45,159
Speaker 1: the money. He's done everything the right way, and I

321
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 1: want my kids to. I want Lebron, if he could,

322
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,160
Speaker 1: to make a blueprint of his life because the kids

323
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 1: these days need to see it and learn how to

324
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 1: do it the right way. I totally agree with what

325
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 1: you're saying, and I respect, I respect the ship out

326
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 1: of him as a star, as an outspoken star, and

327
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:01,919
Speaker 1: the rest on ability of it and all that it

328
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,479
Speaker 1: comes with because but I might, but I don't mean

329
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 1: because it. But we're saying that he's the only star

330
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,160
Speaker 1: in the NBA that has to be told he's great.

331
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:12,439
Speaker 1: That's the only knock on you. If you don't, if

332
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 1: you don't, if you don't hear the meteor teammates saying

333
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 1: he's great and he's gonna get on Instagram and Polis

334
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,680
Speaker 1: posted stats saying well, at least I did my part.

335
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 1: That's the only thing I don't like about Lebron, like

336
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,360
Speaker 1: he had his stuff on the back too much when

337
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 1: me personally and other people that's on TV pat him

338
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:29,879
Speaker 1: on the back enough. I know. I don't talk about

339
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:31,440
Speaker 1: nobody more than le Braun. I've had him on the

340
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 1: back all the time. He's the only start that I've

341
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 1: seen and with my own eyes, especially being the best

342
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:38,880
Speaker 1: in the NBA that has to tell himself that he's great,

343
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 1: I totally agree. And that's why he drives me crazy.

344
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 1: And just as a fan, that's the thing that people

345
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 1: don't get, like why you hate I'm like, you know,

346
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 1: I'm a fan of this ship. Um all right, I

347
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:54,160
Speaker 1: promise I wasn't gonna keep you long. Second question, you played, uh,

348
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 1: so many games, so many big games, playoff games, playoff

349
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 1: ramification games, Champion chip games, um uh, revenge games, all

350
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 1: sorts of games. If I had to say to you,

351
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:11,639
Speaker 1: Stephen Jackson, what looking back at your NBA career, what

352
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 1: is the biggest game of your career, the game that

353
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,680
Speaker 1: may have kept you up at night a little longer

354
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:22,400
Speaker 1: than you wanted to, and what was the results of it? Well,

355
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 1: you know it would it would be easy to say,

356
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:30,679
Speaker 1: you know the big threes I hit on on our

357
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 1: playoff run and two Antonio Spurs. Uh you know Tim Donker,

358
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,159
Speaker 1: you know a lot of people know that know the

359
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 1: game spurs. When I won that championship without me at all,

360
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 1: I was the third kneed score. I had all the

361
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 1: big shots that year, and uh, I just never got

362
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 1: my props for it because they was told to cern

363
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 1: about three guys getting the props and don't really telling him. Well,

364
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 1: Tim Duncan gave me my props, and and I Tim

365
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 1: Tim Dunacan, Steve Kerr, Steve Smith, all the older guys

366
00:22:57,760 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 1: that gave my props. So I was cool, but my,

367
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,880
Speaker 1: but my. I think my biggest game was Game six,

368
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 1: the deciding game too, when we was um eight seed

369
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 1: and Dallas was the number one seed. I think the

370
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:13,880
Speaker 1: game the game fixed the deciding game of that first

371
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:17,399
Speaker 1: mind series where one seed was never beaten by eight

372
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 1: seed in the seven game series. This was the first

373
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 1: time I had I had the seven eight threes, almost

374
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 1: thirty some points, and that Golden State game, the deciding

375
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 1: games and knock the number one seed out. I think

376
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 1: that's that's something I think about more, and I watched

377
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 1: more because now only did don Nelson said, you know,

378
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 1: he's the winning of winning, this coach of all time.

379
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:39,640
Speaker 1: He said that after that game. One of the best

380
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:41,679
Speaker 1: compliments I've ever got. He said, if I had my choice,

381
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 1: even though I'm to win this coach, if I had

382
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,160
Speaker 1: my choice, I would like five Stephen Jackson's on my team.

383
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 1: That's the hell of That's the hell of a compliment

384
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:51,119
Speaker 1: coming from the winnings coach of all time and probably

385
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:53,879
Speaker 1: my face, probably the best point guard I've every played with,

386
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,680
Speaker 1: probably my top two teammates, Baron Davis. I think after

387
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 1: that game, Uh, that was the same season Mike, Uh

388
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 1: that I got into the shootout in Indiana before I

389
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 1: got traded to go to State. So people were saying

390
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 1: so much bass stuff about me. He was a thug,

391
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 1: he'd been in trouble with the brawl, not a shooting

392
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 1: at the club, all this stuff, And after that game,

393
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 1: it was it was. It was the biggest stage I've

394
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 1: ever been on, probably the best I played in the playoffs,

395
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 1: and Baron, Baron Davis came on on the ESPN when

396
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:21,879
Speaker 1: they asked me, Like a lot of people say a

397
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 1: lot about Stephen Jackson at about his off course stuff

398
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 1: and a stuff, but they've never mentioned how good of

399
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 1: a basketball player is. That's that that series and those

400
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:31,919
Speaker 1: two compliments and stuffing my hold on two more than

436
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 1: fucking arena with a heavy weight broom that I bought

437
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,680

Speaker 1: Brothers where even at a cafe at dawned on me.

439
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 1: They're gonna sweep these fucking guys. The Warriors are gonna

440
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 1: sweep the Cleveland Cavaliers. This is only game three, But

441
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:44,640
Speaker 1: why not start tidying up the fucking joint. Now, let's

442
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 1: tidy up the jaint. Now went into the arena with

445
00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 1: Made con I made eye contact with Clay Thompson. He

00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 1: looked at me like I was batshit crazy. He looked

447
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 1: at me like he was batshit crazy. But I saw

448
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 1: him break a smile. He shook his head like, what

449
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:13,080

00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 1: kept some shred, some itty bitty tiny shred of dignity,

454

Speaker 1: I got to my seat in that arena with the

457
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 1: Dust Brothers, Miles, Davis and Jordan went to the producers

458
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 1: of this here Iron Rapports Stereo Pockets, this being an

459
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:46,879
Speaker 1: emergency episode of the Iron Raportstereo podcast exclusive on the

460
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:50,359
Speaker 1: Iron Rapport app. By the time I got there, I

461
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 1: got a text from somebody at the NBA. They said,

462
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 1: what the funk are you doing? They said, what the

463
00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:59,880
Speaker 1: funk are you doing? We got a phone call from

464
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:07,360
Speaker 1: that guy. The implied guy was one Lebron Blames. That's

465
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:12,680
Speaker 1: a fact. Ten minutes after being in the arena with

466
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:17,120
Speaker 1: that broom, the NBA was made aware of me having

467
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,920
Speaker 1: the broom. I didn't mean no harm. I'm a fucking fan. Listen,

468
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,920
Speaker 1: I talk all the ship that I talked. I'm a fan.

469
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 1: I would never disparage or disrespect anybody to their face.

470
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 1: I'm a fan. I'm a fan. Well, no one in

471
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 1: Cleveland had a problem with it. None of the fans

472
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 1: have a problem with it. They talked to me, no,

473
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 1: and don't curse to me. They thought it was funny.

474
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 1: They gotta kick out of it. They know that I'm

475
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 1: a fan. They want him to win. I want them

476
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 1: to lose. That's what sports are for. That's what it's

477
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 1: all about. This is we're not a war. This is

478
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 1: a North Korea, South Korea. But his people called the NBA.

479
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 1: They said, you better get that fucking broom out of

480
00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 1: the arena. I was reprimanded. I was reprimended. After the game.

481
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 1: I was warned, do not bring a fucking broom back

482
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 1: to Game four. I said, I'm not gonna be a

483
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 1: Game four. Infamously, it was announced in that arena was

484
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:15,239
Speaker 1: a Quicken Loans. This is a fact. Look it up.

485
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 1: There will be no brooms allowed into the arena. They

486
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 1: called that the Wrap Report rule, but I don't know

487
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 1: if they actually called the Rapp Report rule. But I

488
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 1: would like to think they call it the rap Report

489
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 1: rule because I was the only person in there with

490
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 1: the broom. Game five Oakland Golden State Warriors at home,

491
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 1: the closeout game. Okay, if I can't bring a broom

492
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 1: into the arena and they didn't actually sweep them, we

493
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 1: gotta bring a plunger. We gotta bring a fucking plunger

494
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 1: to the arena. Walking around earlier that day with with

495
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 1: With with a heavyweight plunger that I purchased, I put

496
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 1: up either a Snapchat story in or Instagram story of

497
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 1: me with the broom. Three hours before the game. Four

498
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 1: hours before the game, it was broad daylight. Take a

499
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 1: cab to the arena. While we were entering the arena

500
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 1: via the cab, you know, the parking the parking lot.

501
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 1: We're still in the cab. I get another text. Somebody

502
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 1: brooks in the NBA. They said, Michael, you're not bringing

503
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 1: that fucking plunger into Oracle Arena. If you bring that

504
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 1: fucking plunger into the arena, your credentials, your NBA credentials

505
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 1: will be taken away. I don't want to fucking problems.

506
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 1: I don't want any fucking problems. The moral and the

507
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 1: point of why I am sharing this story with you,

508
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 1: the listeners, the hard Body Karate listeners of the Iron

509
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 1: Wrap por stereo podcast. I'm gonna tell you something I

510
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 1: haven't even told. Miles fucking Jordan's the NBA since that

511
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 1: incident with the broom. No invites for me, the gringo,

512
00:30:56,960 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 1: man dingo, nothing, no parties, no nothing. You know why,

513
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 1: because motherfucking Lebron James complained about it. He complained about

514
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 1: the fucking broom. This is in my instinct, this is

515
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 1: a fact. This is a fact. I don't like it.

516
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 1: It might be cleaned up at some point. I know

517
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 1: people that know him, that know his people. We could

518
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 1: clean it up. We could have a sit down or not.

519
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 1: I could apologize or not. It's been to plenty of games,

520
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:29,719
Speaker 1: have relationships with plenty of players, but as far as

521
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 1: all the celebrity NBA games, you see, I wasn't invited

522
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 1: this year, first time in years, parties, this, that and

523
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 1: the other sanctioned n behavins. Wasn't invited because it is

Speaker 1: little list. I'm not on like a no fly list,

526
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:48,480
Speaker 1: but I'm on one of those unspoken list, Like we're

00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:51,360

00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 1: right now. And okay, so this person that they put

00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 1: on a pedestal, la boo boo, Uh Legacy Lebron Lebron blames. Yeah,

531
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 1: it's fucking personal. We're not a really personal Listen. I'm

532
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 1: a fan. I'm a fan. I love it, but it

533
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 1: doesn't really dictate, uh my life. I love it. Step

534
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 1: on toes. That is part of being the m v

535
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 1: P of talking trash. Sometimes you step on toes and

536
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 1: I've learned that throughout my life. It's fine, It's fucking fine.

537
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,560
Speaker 1: But what I just told you about the broom, about

538
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 1: the plunger and la Boo boo James, it's a fact.

539
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 1: It's not here say it is a fucking fact. I

540
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 1: am the bad boy, Okay, I am the motherfucking true

541
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 1: blue bad boy of Ship Talking and Podcasting podcast. Five

542
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 1: minutes right, five minutes two questions for the Great Brian Scalabrini.

543
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 1: We are now recording see I Am Wrappports Stereo podcast

544
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 1: Diary of a mad fan. Game seven Indiana Pacers First,

545
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Cavaliers. You, of course sideline reporter analysts of

546
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 1: your own Boston Celtics, but we're not here to talk

547
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:18,719
Speaker 1: about this. Five minutes two questions Scout. The two questions

548
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 1: are number one, who will win the Cleveland Cavaliers Indiana

549
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 1: Pacers Game seven? Number two? What is the biggest game

550
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 1: you ever played? In the game that kept you up

551
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 1: a little later then you wanted to the night before?

552
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 1: Question number one, what is your prediction for Game seven? Mr? Mumble? Okay,

553
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 1: so I think, uh Cleveland will be better defensively than

554
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 1: they were in that building. Indiana is a tough environment,

555
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 1: especially coming off the goltend. So I go, I go,

556
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 1: Calves at home getting it done. Obviously, Lebron big night,

557
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 1: but I actually have Kevin Love having a big night

558
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:00,960
Speaker 1: as well, Calves winning Game seven. Are you surprised a

559
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 1: series went to seven games? No, I'm actually once. I

560
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 1: saw game one when they lost, when Cleveland lost, you know,

561
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:12,320
Speaker 1: and Lebron had that record of all those games in

562
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:14,360
Speaker 1: a row. I knew it was gonna be a dogfight

563
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 1: because Indiana. The one thing by Ganovich daddy is young

564
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:22,880
Speaker 1: Victor Oladipo. They didn't get punked by Lebron. They didn't

565
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 1: have that look in their eyes that they were afraid

566
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:30,840
Speaker 1: of Lebron, especially Bogdanovich. Uh in Game three. It's just

567
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:34,880
Speaker 1: some guys are afraid and they act like they're not,

568
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 1: and they try to be tough and uh. But but

569
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 1: some guys aren't. And Indiana has not been afraid of

570
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 1: Lebron this series. But it is game seven, and Lebron

571
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:47,920
Speaker 1: has been there before. If he said that, if he

572
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 1: wants to win, if he wants to continue in the playoffs,

573
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 1: he will get it done. Second question for the White

574
00:34:55,560 --> 00:35:00,400
Speaker 1: Mamba NBA champion, what is I knew you played in

575
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 1: a bunch of them, so it's hard to single them out.

576
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 1: It's like picking and picking a child. But if if

577
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:07,320
Speaker 1: I if gun to your head or podcast microphone to

578
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:11,400
Speaker 1: your head being held to your head by me, if

579
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 1: I had to say to you, what is the biggest

580
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 1: game of your career? Wind loser draw that kept you

581
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:20,239
Speaker 1: up at night the night before they get you, you

582
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:22,319
Speaker 1: you were a little bit antsy about that you had

583
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:25,879
Speaker 1: butterflies in your stomach, that that a professional isn't used

584
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 1: to having butterflies in their stomachs. For what's the biggest

585
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:32,960
Speaker 1: game of your career? And what was the results? So

586
00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 1: you know, like there's times when we're into big games

587
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 1: and I'm not gonna play. You understand that, right, But

588
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:41,839
Speaker 1: there are times when I knew I was gonna play.

589
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:47,480
Speaker 1: For instance, uh, game seven at home against Orlando, when

590
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 1: we had them on the ropes in game six, we

591
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 1: end up losing that game. Uh. Game five in Detroit,

592
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:57,719
Speaker 1: when I was like in the rotation, we end up

593
00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:01,279
Speaker 1: winning that game. But the real of he is, Mike,

594
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:03,719
Speaker 1: I'm not really like that. I don't I ain't gonna

595
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:07,720
Speaker 1: lose sleep over what's about to happen. Now, that doesn't

596
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:11,360
Speaker 1: mean that retrospectively. I don't look back and lose sleep

597
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 1: over what I did. But I ain't gonna lose sleep

598
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 1: over what's about to happen. I ain't gonna be so

599
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 1: excited that I'm not gonna go to sleep, because for me,

600
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:23,000
Speaker 1: I'm like that all the time. Anytime I get a

601
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:26,400
Speaker 1: chance to hoop, I'm excited about hooping. So I'm not

602
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 1: I'm excited about a Tuesday night against Charlotte Hornets, just

603
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 1: like I'm excited about a playoff here, and that's not

604
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:37,120
Speaker 1: gonna I'm not gonna worry about it. But you know,

605
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 1: we come up with a big win or we you know,

606
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:42,759
Speaker 1: especially when you lose, that's gonna make me lose sleep

607
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 1: because you'll go over every plane in your mind. But

608
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 1: going into what's about to happen, I'm really into the

609
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 1: stay in the moment. I don't look back. I've more

610
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:52,400
Speaker 1: to look forward. I got you. That makes sense. That

611
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:56,359
Speaker 1: makes sense. Um, all right, listen, mom, But I told

612
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:58,360
Speaker 1: you it wasn't gonna be long. I could start, you know,

613
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 1: doubling down on what you're saying I can start, you know,

614
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 1: going into all different all different uh, you know, questions

615
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:07,759
Speaker 1: and answers on just just just the short spurts that

616
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:09,719
Speaker 1: you gave me. But I promise you'd be short. It'd

617
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:15,839
Speaker 1: be sweet. This is called the Diary of a mad fan.

618
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:19,440
Speaker 1: Game seven the Cavaliers Versus the Pacers, and and I

619
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 1: will just leak something to you, scal Um, because I

620
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:30,319
Speaker 1: we all know that if Lebron James loses this game,

621
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 1: he will be leaving Cleveland. Out of the goodness of

622
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:34,480
Speaker 1: my heart. And you know me as a good natured,

623
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 1: generous person, I've paid for meals and watch you eat

624
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:39,799
Speaker 1: like a savage in front of me. You know, I'm

625
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:44,280
Speaker 1: very generous. Out of the generosity of my heart. My heart, Brian,

626
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:48,200
Speaker 1: I went to a packing and shipping supply store here

627
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:52,720
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles and I got Lebron James crates boxes

628
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 1: and all the shipping supplies he will need to depart Cleveland.

629
00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 1: Don't you think that's very nice? And I should be

630
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 1: commended for that. I mean, if you really, if you

631
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:04,960
Speaker 1: really care, you help him move, you help him package stuff,

632
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 1: like hey, listen, I'm fucking busy, scal I'm I'm working.

633
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:10,759
Speaker 1: I'm trying to make a living here. Okay, I'm I'm

634
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:12,520
Speaker 1: not packing his stuff for him, but I got him

635
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 1: the supplies. That's more than a lot of people so

636
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:18,840
Speaker 1: called quote unquote fans have done. I got him duct tape.

637
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,680
Speaker 1: I think you got to But where's he going? And

638
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:25,880
Speaker 1: Beat said he doesn't want him? He said, I we

639
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:30,359
Speaker 1: don't need anybody else. Did he say that? Yeah? Where

640
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:34,959
Speaker 1: are you being? Mr? Man fans? Damn whatever? I didn't.

641
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 1: I you know what, I honestly don't think he'll go

642
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 1: to Philadelphia number one because the ball is already being

643
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:45,120
Speaker 1: dominated by I think the next version of Lebron Ben Simmons,

644
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 1: uh number two. I don't think that just because they're

645
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 1: doing well, he's just gonna jump on the bad wagon.

646
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:54,640
Speaker 1: And I don't think that it's in his plans to

647
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 1: finish his career as a Philadelphia seventies. So what do

648
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:00,319
Speaker 1: you got? Give me one team and then hang up

649
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:02,239
Speaker 1: the hang up. I'm gonna give you one team and

650
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:05,200

Speaker 1: and why? And number two, when you look back at

663
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:09,479
Speaker 1: all the big games that you played in throughout your career,

664
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:12,480
Speaker 1: what is the the one game that you say is

665
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:14,479
Speaker 1: the biggest, the one that kept you up a little

666
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:16,960
Speaker 1: bit longer than you chose to be the night before?

667
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 1: First question, who's winning Game seven Pacers versus the Cavaliers.

668
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:24,879
Speaker 1: You know Lebron James very well. You are a Lebron agitator.

669
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:28,320
Speaker 1: You're a Lebron stopper. You will all like if Lebron

670
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:30,239
Speaker 1: brought out the best in you, because of course he's

671
00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:33,440
Speaker 1: so great. Yeah, he's really good. I gotta give it

672
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:39,720
Speaker 1: so now I love this funky um. For games seven,

673
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:42,520
Speaker 1: I will have to give it to Levan just because

674
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:46,320
Speaker 1: they're at home. Uh you got to cut over the

675
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:50,000
Speaker 1: eye and they got pretty spank. They got bad, spank

676
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:52,160
Speaker 1: bad last night? Was it last night or day before

677
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:58,640
Speaker 1: to a day before? Yeah, so I take that. Um

678
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:03,520
Speaker 1: My bast the ball. Probably most memorable game probably his

679
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:07,239
Speaker 1: game six in Miami. I couldn't really walk that well,

680
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:10,800
Speaker 1: so my knee was like swollen. Um. I had to

681
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:15,520
Speaker 1: get a shot before the game. Yeah, I had to

682
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:19,400
Speaker 1: get a shot in my butt actually, uh right before

683
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:23,520
Speaker 1: the game and uh end up having uh fight for

684
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:29,279
Speaker 1: six for three points? Yeah, thirteen points. Only missed one

685
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:32,080
Speaker 1: shot at of eleven minutes. When you when you playing

686
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:36,440
Speaker 1: games like that, like when does it become just a

687
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:39,239
Speaker 1: game when you're playing? Like at one point do you

688
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:43,040
Speaker 1: guys just start playing ball? Like like during national anthem

689
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:45,520
Speaker 1: in the warm ups and the night before, is there

690
00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:48,799
Speaker 1: a little bit more pep in your step? I think

691
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:50,920
Speaker 1: it's stepping and step with me is when the when

692
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:53,800
Speaker 1: the actual ball goes up the chap, I think everything

693
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:57,359
Speaker 1: before them for me, you know, I get stumming, get

694
00:41:57,440 --> 00:42:01,799
Speaker 1: tied got to use the bath from the anxious anxiety

695
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:04,400
Speaker 1: as soon as I see that ball go up and

696
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:09,280
Speaker 1: he gets you know, actually inside the game, it's actually

697
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:11,920
Speaker 1: you go back to your childhood days and just like

698
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:14,360
Speaker 1: shooting the shot when I was the third grade and

699
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 1: you guys are just balling just for me at that moment,

700
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:21,359
Speaker 1: I'm just balling when when when you're in those type

701
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:24,800
Speaker 1: of games, can you tell whether it's teammates, opponents. I

702
00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:27,880
Speaker 1: don't want to use the word fear, but can you

703
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:31,200
Speaker 1: can you feel it from from guys, you know, whether

704
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:33,279
Speaker 1: they're on your team or opponents that guys that just

705
00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:35,880
Speaker 1: don't want the ball, don't I don't want to be

706
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:37,840
Speaker 1: out there, like just don't want any part of it?

707
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:41,640
Speaker 1: Is that a parent? I mean it's crazy, yeah, because

708
00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:44,040
Speaker 1: I you know, watching my kids play, my son and

709
00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 1: my daughter. I can see plays, but they take you know,

710
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:49,960
Speaker 1: time off or they just don't want that shot. I

711
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 1: think any god that's actually a woman that's playing professional

712
00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:56,680
Speaker 1: athletes can go through this those types of situations. You

713
00:42:56,719 --> 00:42:58,640
Speaker 1: can see and wants the ball? Who wants the shot?

714
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:01,640
Speaker 1: Who wants that moment? Man? And like a person like me,

715
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:04,440
Speaker 1: I was playing defense, I use those type of uh,

716
00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:08,320
Speaker 1: you know those situations for my antics on defense, I

717
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:10,319
Speaker 1: can see who doesn't want the ball, who doesn't want

718
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:14,960
Speaker 1: the big shot? I have a chess for that. Um.

00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:17,319
Speaker 1: All right, I told you it was gonna be short.

00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 1: Al this is an emergency podcast, Okay, It's diary of

737
00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:12,200
Speaker 1: a mad fan. You know I love my basketball. You

738
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:17,160
Speaker 1: know I respect all you guys. It's Game seven with

739
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:21,360
Speaker 1: Al Harrington, straight out of Jersey. Two questions for you, Al, okay,

740
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:27,040
Speaker 1: too simple questions. The Indiana Pacers, your former team, one

741
00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:32,320
Speaker 1: of your former teams, playing Game seven against the Cleveland

742
00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:35,680
Speaker 1: Cavaliers led by one Lebron James. I know you watched

743
00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:40,000
Speaker 1: the games, you follow the games. Who will win that game?

744
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:43,840
Speaker 1: Second question is, out of all the big games you

745
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:48,840
Speaker 1: played in, when you look back on your illustrious career,

746
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:51,160
Speaker 1: I want to know what is the one game you

747
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:54,560
Speaker 1: would say the biggest game you played in was? What

748
00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:57,560
Speaker 1: were the results? The game that sort of kept you

749
00:44:57,719 --> 00:45:00,200
Speaker 1: up a little bit later then you wanted to the

750
00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:02,960
Speaker 1: night before the game that gave you butterflies like a

751
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:06,440
Speaker 1: kid on Christmas. First question, who will win Game seven?

752
00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:11,720
Speaker 1: And why? Well? Number one? I mean, you know, obviously

753
00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:14,719
Speaker 1: I do have you know Indiana in the feature after me?

754
00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:16,680
Speaker 1: And you know with that game said, you know, I

755
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:19,400
Speaker 1: gotta ask some sense of layers to them, but you know,

756
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:22,800
Speaker 1: the in the game, I just can't see Lebron James

757
00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:26,040
Speaker 1: Cleveland have a losing on their home floor. You know,

758
00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:28,440
Speaker 1: and you also, I got a couple of guys on

759
00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:30,879
Speaker 1: that team too that my people like to Ran Lou

760
00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:33,759
Speaker 1: and j R. Smith. So you know, I'm gonna pick

761
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:36,839
Speaker 1: the cash for this. How good is Lebron James. I mean,

762
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:40,480
Speaker 1: I've seen I've seen him do some things in this playoffs,

763
00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:42,800
Speaker 1: just just in these six games that have played so

764
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:45,560
Speaker 1: far that I can't even believe. Like in that one

765
00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:47,520
Speaker 1: play where he was dribbling a ball up the court

766
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:50,839
Speaker 1: and Lance was guarding him full court, cut past him,

767
00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:53,120
Speaker 1: went left, and then banged it on somebody. I'm like,

768
00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:56,279
Speaker 1: I never seen nobody do that. Like that's like high

769
00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:59,920
Speaker 1: school ship. It is, man, it's like a man among boys.

770
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 1: So like me, I mean, I feel like, you know,

771
00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:05,160
Speaker 1: he's one of the top two players that ever played

772
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:07,480
Speaker 1: the game periods and then Mike and I don't think

773
00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:11,480
Speaker 1: there's any other discussion but beside him. Yeah, I have

774
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:13,839
Speaker 1: to agree, man, I have to agree. That doesn't mean

775
00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:15,560
Speaker 1: I have to like it. I wasn't sitting there in

776
00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:18,560
Speaker 1: the garden when when Michael Jordan was was abusing my knicks,

777
00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:21,680
Speaker 1: sitting there clapping for him, just like I'm not sitting

778
00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:24,520
Speaker 1: there clapping for this guy. All right, So your prediction

779
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:28,560
Speaker 1: is you're predicting that game seven, Lebron James will lead

780
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:35,279
Speaker 1: his Cleveland Cavaliers passed your former team that drafted you,

781
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:37,880
Speaker 1: You're Indiana Pacers. You're going on record saying that this

782
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:42,160
Speaker 1: is the worldwide phenomenon to the Emergency podcast. Now I'll

783
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:43,879
Speaker 1: let you know, but yeah, I mean, I think even

784
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:48,279
Speaker 1: if he needs to get game Um, all right, I

785
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:50,640
Speaker 1: told you it's gonna be short and sweet. Second question,

786
00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:52,600
Speaker 1: when you look back at your career and you played

787
00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:57,080
Speaker 1: in a bunch of big games, playoff games, playoff ramification games, uh,

788
00:46:57,200 --> 00:47:00,160
Speaker 1: you know, grudge match games. What do you like when

789
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:03,719
Speaker 1: you were to say, one game, you know, podcast microphone

790
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:06,479
Speaker 1: held to your head, what would be the biggest game

791
00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:09,480
Speaker 1: of your career? Win, loser, draw? When you look back

792
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:12,319
Speaker 1: on it all, I mean, I guess when I think

793
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:15,440
Speaker 1: about it, it's my not my last playoffs, the playoffs

794
00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:17,759
Speaker 1: when I was with Dinner the last year I was there,

795
00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:22,000
Speaker 1: just going into a game shoveling with the Lakers and uh,

796
00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:24,640
Speaker 1: you know, all the Marvels, you know, and they're playing

797
00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:28,160
Speaker 1: against Kobe, playing and Staples and just having you know,

798
00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:30,480
Speaker 1: all that pressure was definitely one of the games where

799
00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:33,000
Speaker 1: you know, I definitely stayed up, watched the extra down

800
00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:35,319
Speaker 1: and you know, for that series, I broke my nose

801
00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:38,160
Speaker 1: I think in the first first game, So like last

802
00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:40,200
Speaker 1: I broke my nose, and I pretty much wasn't playing

803
00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:42,160
Speaker 1: at the same level. But I just knew in the

804
00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:44,520
Speaker 1: game seven the team wasn't eating because it was depending

805
00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:47,360
Speaker 1: on me most of the year. So that game I

806
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:49,200
Speaker 1: came out, I think I like twenty seven where we

807
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:52,400
Speaker 1: came up a little short just because we were surprised

808
00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:55,040
Speaker 1: that Kobe trusted his teammates and he decided to pass

809
00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:59,279
Speaker 1: the ball that night they passed that beat us. It

810
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:02,120
Speaker 1: wasn't that Kobe Corn you know, beat up that too.

811
00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:05,279
Speaker 1: Was that always a thing like, Yo, Kobe is gonna

812
00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:07,239
Speaker 1: try to go ham on his own, like was when

813
00:48:07,239 --> 00:48:09,000
Speaker 1: you were when you when you were playing against him

814
00:48:09,560 --> 00:48:11,600
Speaker 1: in in that series and throughout your career. Was that

815
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:13,759
Speaker 1: like something that would sort of be game planned, like

816
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:16,400
Speaker 1: if he'll sort of involved his teammates or if not,

817
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:20,799
Speaker 1: and and and what the ramifications good bad would be? Yeah,

818
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:22,880
Speaker 1: I mean you just always know Kobe always feel like,

819
00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:24,560
Speaker 1: you know he can do it all about him show

820
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:26,320
Speaker 1: you know what I mean if you and you know

821
00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:28,839
Speaker 1: being in that series, you know, you know the stuff

822
00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:30,799
Speaker 1: that people don't see on TV. And when we're out

823
00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:32,920
Speaker 1: the experience when I would playing, he's cussing them out.

824
00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:35,040
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, when they missing shots, that

825
00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:38,080
Speaker 1: the missing balls and stuff like that. He's going crazy

826
00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:40,680
Speaker 1: on him. So you know, for us, you know, seeing that,

827
00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:43,240
Speaker 1: we're thinking like there's nowhere in hell he's gonna trust

828
00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:45,000
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, hes gonna put it all

829
00:48:45,040 --> 00:48:47,120
Speaker 1: on the back kind of how I feel like Lebron

830
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:49,600
Speaker 1: needs to do to all night against in Vienna. But

831
00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:51,480
Speaker 1: you know he touched to his teammates. You know, he

832
00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:54,360
Speaker 1: made Power the better player that night, and uh, you know,

833
00:48:54,560 --> 00:48:57,480
Speaker 1: and that was different than us in that game. All Right,

834
00:48:57,520 --> 00:48:59,960
Speaker 1: Al listen, I told you gonna be short and sweet, weet.

835
