As a Mavericks fan, are 13 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,560 Speaker 3: you enjoying this long layoff because you get to savor 14 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:44,120 Speaker 3: the Western Conference Final victory?

The ones that didn't believe 21 00:00:58,320 --> 00:00:59,600 Speaker 4: that we would get to this point. You know, I 22 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 4: got some friends that before this thing even started. I 23 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 4: call it the finals. I said, the Celtics versus the Maths, 24 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 4: and people are like, your nuts, and my buddies were like, man, 25 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:10,559 Speaker 4: ain't no way that Mavericks are making it to the finals. 26 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:11,399 Speaker 2: And here we are. 27 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 4: We've reached the culmination of good basketball, good vibes, and 28 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:16,680 Speaker 4: now we're in the finals. 29 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:17,760 Speaker 2: Man. So it's a beautiful thing. 30 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 3: It really is a good matchup for the NBA. And 31 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:24,480 Speaker 3: I've heard some conversations and people say they don't know 32 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 3: about the matchup, but I do think it's if you 33 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,119 Speaker 3: were to pick a matchup at the start of the playoffs, 34 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,399 Speaker 3: probably would have been a top three matchup that you 35 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,039 Speaker 3: could have chosen if you were the NBA. 36 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 2: So it should should. 37 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 3: Be really really good with the Mavericks in my mind, 38 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,200 Speaker 3: actually being the draw over the Boston Celtics something that 39 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 3: we'll get into later. We'll get into this Celtics Mavericks 40 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 3: series in about twenty minutes or so. But everybody's talking 41 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 3: about it. They're still talking about it. What transpired a 42 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 3: little less than twenty four hours ago, the flagrant foul 43 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 3: on Caitlin Clark of the Indiana Fever by Kennedy Carter 44 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 3: of the Chica Sky, then the aftermath of what happened 45 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 3: the postgame press conference, Angel Reese, you just heard Isaac 46 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 3: say ended up being docked one thousand dollars for not 47 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 3: being available. Yet she has now become a major part 48 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 3: of the story because of her actions and her responses 49 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:21,360 Speaker 3: to the hard fouls that were delivered to Caitlin Clark 50 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 3: and the Indiana fever. And it's funny because I was 51 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 3: on the air about an hour after this all happened, 52 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 3: and then the postgame show came, the postgame interviews happened, 53 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 3: and we were playing some of those back, and then 54 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 3: I had a chance to kind of sit on this 55 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:39,080 Speaker 3: carry and I feel like any rookie has some sort 56 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,520 Speaker 3: of Hazing's not the word, but you have to go 57 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,919 Speaker 3: through some sort of ritual to be right. All pass this, yeah, 58 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 3: right of passes, perfect, perfect phrase. And now it's gotten 59 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 3: to the point where I think it's gone too far, 60 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,799 Speaker 3: and I think many people feel that way, and it's 61 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 3: one of those things you know when you see it, 62 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,800 Speaker 3: and I felt that that was the fo yesterday that 63 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 3: was committed on Caitlin Clark by Kennedy Carter, Like we've 64 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 3: gone We've gone too far now in terms of where 65 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,959 Speaker 3: we are and trying to have Caitlin. 66 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 2: Clark have her right of passage in the WNBA. 67 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, it's it's gotten to the point of 68 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 4: borderline obsession with trying to be the one to break 69 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 4: Caitlyn Clark, and I think that's where it's heading to 70 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:28,080 Speaker 4: right now, and until the w NBA steps in, or 71 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 4: Matt for the matter of fact, her teammates step in 72 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 4: to show that they're with her and their ride with 73 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 4: her and have some type of loyalty to her being 74 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 4: on their team in an organization. Obviously obviously she's new 75 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 4: and she's trying to you know, integrate herself into the 76 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 4: locker room and into this, into the w NBA. But 77 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 4: it's it's it's it's time for her team and her 78 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 4: organization to step up and you know, stand in front 79 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 4: of her and say that we got her back and 80 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 4: go out there and be physical back with those other 81 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 4: teams and show that they have some backbone and some 82 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 4: adoration for their teammate, because it's getting to point now 83 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 4: where she seems like it's Caitlyn Clark against everybody. And 84 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 4: I don't mean just her opponents, and I'm not mean 85 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 4: her teammates as well, which is crazy. Yeah, that's kind 86 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 4: of where I am with it. They need to come 87 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 4: out in next game they play if that was to 88 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 4: happen again, like retaliate, there needs to be some retaliation. 89 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 2: And I know it's not It shouldn't come from her. 90 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:27,600 Speaker 2: It should come from the people around her. 91 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 3: It's funny because Angel Reeves had made comments previously on 92 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 3: about a week or so ago, and she took a 93 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 3: hard foul against the Connecticut Sun, and I felt that 94 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,600 Speaker 3: she was she was referencing Caitlyn Clark in all of that, 95 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 3: saying like, it's not because I'm a rookie, it's because 96 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,720 Speaker 3: I'm a player in this league, and you know I 97 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 3: bring that sort of stuff on. That may be fine 98 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 3: and all as you're battling under the hoop, but this 99 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 3: was a blatant, direct, cheap shot hip check that may 100 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 3: not have been as violent as something that you could 101 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,040 Speaker 3: get under the under the hoop, but it sure seemed 102 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 3: about ten times more blatant. And then to have Kennedy 103 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 3: Carter refuse to answer any questions about it tells you 104 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 3: all you need to know, Like that that's of this 105 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 3: is a there there is jealousy. There may be uh, 106 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,599 Speaker 3: you know, hates a pretty strong word, so I don't 107 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 3: want to say that, but there is, there is, there 108 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 3: is extreme. 109 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 2: Animosity, and then it was magnified. 110 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,559 Speaker 3: I felt like this story actually and and some people 111 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 3: were on it earlier, but this story really took the 112 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 3: turn to the point of that you point out of 113 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 3: where are her teammates? 114 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,039 Speaker 2: Oria Boston did not sprint to get into. 115 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 3: Kennedy Carter's face as Katelyn Clark was was sitting on 116 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 3: the ground. And we've seen some of this stuff before 117 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 3: of other teammates maybe not being there, And that's what 118 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 3: then tells you that it is Caitlyn Clark against everybody, 119 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,839 Speaker 3: because it even seems that some of her own teammates 120 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 3: resent what has what she has brought to the league. 121 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,039 Speaker 2: And she talks trash, you know, she does. 122 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 3: She'll give you know, she'll she'll give you a little 123 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 3: of this or that, but none of that is warranted 124 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 3: to the level of I think what she's received so far. 125 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, the trash talking is part of the game. There 126 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 4: are a lot of people that talk trash men's and 127 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 4: women's sports, right, but a lot of that times a 128 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,799 Speaker 4: lot when you can't do anything to combat the game 129 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,599 Speaker 4: and combat what they can do on the court. It 130 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:26,159 Speaker 4: resorts to being physical, it resorts to doing the things 131 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:30,040 Speaker 4: that don't really win you games. So it becomes not 132 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:31,599 Speaker 4: nonsensical when it comes to that stuff. 133 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,480 Speaker 3: That's the other part of it is, to be quite honest, 134 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,479 Speaker 3: it's not like she's tearing the league up right, no where, 135 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,720 Speaker 3: you know, like where, So that's where, you know. That's 136 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,239 Speaker 3: the other layer to this is if she was scoring 137 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 3: thirty to a game and no one was stopping her. 138 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 3: That's one thing. She had eleven points yesterday exactly, and 139 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 3: and maybe there would be an argument of, yeah, you 140 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 3: try to cut off the head of the snake, you know, 141 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 3: because the balls in her hand a lot. 142 00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 2: The offense starts with her, you know. 143 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 3: Then why isn't happening around you know, other spots in 144 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 3: the in the w NBA. Why why isn't happening with 145 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 3: other players? Why why is Angel Reese being hugged by 146 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 3: her veterans and vice versa When Caitlin Clark is lying 147 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 3: on the ground or hard foul is committed, yet no 148 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 3: one will help up Caitlyn Clark on her own team, 149 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 3: like there's Angel Reese is obviously fit in well with 150 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 3: her teammates. 151 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 2: I look at Caitlin Clark's teammate at. 152 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 3: Iowa, Kate Martin and fitting in with the Las Vegas Aces, 153 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 3: like you see this all the time. And granted she 154 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 3: doesn't have the star power that Caitlin Clark has, but 155 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 3: that's what it is. 156 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 2: It's jealousy. 157 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 3: And if the w NBA really wants to do something 158 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 3: about it, I think you have to start suspending players. 159 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 3: And I thought it was I thought it was ridiculous 160 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 3: when the point was brought up a couple of weeks 161 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 3: ago that the w NBA needs to do something to 162 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 3: make it easier on Caitlin Clark, because I think then 163 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 3: you're rigging the system. That wouldn't be that wouldn't be fair. 164 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 3: But you have to stand up for your members. You 165 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 3: have to stand up for your players. And if Kennedy 166 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 3: Carter was docked a game check because of a suspension, 167 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 3: she makes sixty four thousand dollars this season for the 168 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 3: Chicago Sky, you dock her a paycheck, it's fifteen hundred dollars. 169 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 2: That's what that's what That's what it would be. 170 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 3: Now again, if you're only making sixty four thousand dollars 171 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 3: in the season and you're playing forty one games. 172 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 2: That's a pretty big deal. I don't think they you'd 173 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 2: be seeing cheap shots anymore. 174 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 3: I think it's time for not only is it the players, 175 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,199 Speaker 3: maybe the other players in the league, but I think 176 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 3: the league now has to step in and do something 177 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 3: about this because it's really going to hurt your bottom line, 178 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 3: Which was another theme that I ended up seeing coming 179 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 3: out last night and hearing from a bunch of people 180 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 3: of like, Hey, I watched the WNBA. 181 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 4: This stuff keeps on going. I'm not going to watch 182 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 4: it anymore. Yeah, I think people are getting fed up 183 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 4: with it. I do want to switch it up for 184 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 4: one second and throw this and throw this at you though, Dan, 185 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 4: I really want to know if she feels, if Kaitlin 186 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:02,439 Speaker 4: Clark feels so alien right now that she's not allowing 187 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,320 Speaker 4: or interjecting herself in the locker room in a way 188 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 4: that she should. And I'm just throwing this out there 189 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 4: as a spend for why her teammates aren't shown up. Hope, hope, hope, 190 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:16,440 Speaker 4: hopefully having some type of levity around the situation, situation 191 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,839 Speaker 4: where is she doing everything that she can to fit 192 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 4: her fit in that locker room and give herself that 193 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 4: grace with her teammates because she's already felt alienated. 194 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 2: I want to know if there's. 195 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 4: Another layer to that story, right, like, because she doesn't 196 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,679 Speaker 4: feel loved, she doesn't feel you know, brought in with 197 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 4: open arms. Is she eliminating herself from that locker room 198 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 4: and putting herself in the corner where she is alone 199 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 4: or standing alone in these fights, because that would be 200 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 4: another question, because it's if it's not, then it's blatantly 201 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,840 Speaker 4: just it's just a terrible, terrible place to be in 202 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 4: for And I would like to know that that question. 203 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 2: You know, I think that you need also, you need 204 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 2: a veteran to. 205 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,080 Speaker 3: Bring them in in that sort of way and to 206 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 3: help show the rope exactly. And you haven't seen that. Again, 207 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,560 Speaker 3: I don't know what goes on behind those those you know, 208 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 3: closed doors. We saw a little interaction when Caitlyn Clark 209 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,440 Speaker 3: had sprained her ankle and she was late from her 210 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 3: press conference and one of the players was kind of 211 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 3: giving her the business, But we don't know that. It 212 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 3: surely appears that her and e Leah Boston are not 213 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 3: the greatest of pals. If a Leah Boston isn't running 214 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,080 Speaker 3: to her aid and I just have even felt that 215 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 3: in interactions and seeing and watching the game where because 216 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,560 Speaker 3: she was the number one overall pick the previous year, 217 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 3: you know, and these this is heck. Caitlyn Clark knock 218 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 3: South Carolina out of the NCAA tournament, gave Eliah Boston 219 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 3: her you know, in her final game, that loss of 220 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,720 Speaker 3: the final four. So there could be animosity. I told 221 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 3: you beforehand, it's been thirty years since I've played any 222 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 3: high school sports. But if I played against saw some 223 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 3: of the guys that I played against, I would not 224 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 3: be like, hey man, what's up? I would there was 225 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 3: still would be animosity towards that. And I think that's 226 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 3: the case with Caitlyn Clark. I'm not saying that she's 227 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,079 Speaker 3: absolved of anything else. I just think it's difficult for 228 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 3: a rookie and everything that she has brought in to 229 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 3: to come in and try. 230 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 2: To, I don't know, be one of the girls. 231 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 3: I don't know if that's I think it's it's on 232 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 3: the veterans to be able to provide an atmosphere where 233 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 3: she feels welcome, welcomed, not maybe not favoritism of the 234 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,440 Speaker 3: other league. But I think it's on the other the veterans, 235 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 3: the other veterans to be able to do something. 236 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:30,560 Speaker 2: I agree. 237 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, it happens in every sport where you have a veteran. 238 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 4: I mean speaking to myself in particular, right, I mean, 239 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 4: I'm not the same gravitas as a Kitlyn Clark coming in, 240 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 4: but and not trying to put myself on that level either. 241 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,199 Speaker 4: But you come into a situation where I come into 242 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 4: the Jets and I have a veteran like that the 243 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 4: way you're speaking of, somebody should be able to be 244 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 4: there for Kitlyn Clark. I had Curtis Martin and he 245 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 4: was there and you know, he just taught me to ropes, 246 00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 4: taught me how not to do certain things, how to 247 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,079 Speaker 4: put myself, you know, right in that locker room with 248 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 4: the guys and be one of the guys to start, 249 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,200 Speaker 4: because you have to have that. Doesn't matter where you 250 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 4: end up, doesn't matter how good you are as a rookie, 251 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 4: it doesn't matter. You know, at the end of the day, 252 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:10,680 Speaker 4: you might be the player to year in that league. 253 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 4: But if you don't win over your locker room guys 254 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:15,720 Speaker 4: and let them know that you're in this with them, 255 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:17,960 Speaker 4: it's going to be a problem. And so that's why 256 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 4: I asked that question about is she giving herself that 257 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 4: grace and putting herself in a situation to you know, 258 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 4: be humbled and be humbled and be in the situation 259 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:30,720 Speaker 4: where these girls feels like she's one of them as well. 260 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:32,960 Speaker 3: And that would only be one part of the story 261 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:34,959 Speaker 3: because the other eleven teams in the league are not 262 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,200 Speaker 3: in that locker one hundred percent, So it would be 263 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 3: this is why her teammates aren't coming to her defense. Yes, well, 264 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 3: then why does every single team ever beef with her? Yeah, 265 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 3: Seattle Storm, La Sparks. Obviously we knew the Chicago Sky 266 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:49,720 Speaker 3: game was going to be of interest because of the 267 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:53,720 Speaker 3: Angel Reach drama, and it's just it's really difficult to believe. 268 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,040 Speaker 3: And by the way, before we wrap this up, I 269 00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 3: do want to get the thoughts of our crew here 270 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 3: because I think that there's so many different tentacles to 271 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,840 Speaker 3: this story. But the Angel Ree Caitlin Clark drama has 272 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 3: gone on for the last couple of years, you know, 273 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 3: for the last you know year plus because of their 274 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 3: matchups in the NCAA Tournament in the title game. A 275 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:14,839 Speaker 3: little more than a year ago in a leade eight 276 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 3: this time around. But you know, Angel Reese, in losing 277 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,960 Speaker 3: that game against Iowa, ends up playing the victim and says, 278 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 3: people have no idea what I've gone through, and I'll 279 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 3: tell you what to try to to try to shed 280 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,440 Speaker 3: a different light on who you are. It sure seems 281 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 3: like it's the same old Angel Reese as before. If 282 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 3: you're celebrating someone's downfall, right, Isaac Lohankron is at the 283 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 3: news desk, what is your takeaway from the actions that 284 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,160 Speaker 3: we saw in that fever Sky game yesterday. 285 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 5: I think this is the greatest thing ever and I 286 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 5: am all here for it because we are a national 287 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 5: radio show in the middle of the NBA playoffs, albeit 288 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 5: between the conference finals and the finals. But the lead story, 289 00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 5: and it's a great, delicious story, is the w n 290 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 5: b A. Now, when was the last time that the 291 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 5: w n b A has been a lead story on 292 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 5: national sports talk radio before this year? So I think 293 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 5: it's it's great, uh for the w n b A. 294 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 5: I mean, controversy is still publicity, sure, So I hope 295 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 5: this w w ELI drama continues throughout the season. And 296 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 5: I'll bet you the people in the League office, while 297 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 5: they can't say it publicly, are silently high fiving each 298 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 5: other and say, hey, let's continue this stuff because it's 299 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 5: great theater and I'm here for it. 300 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 3: If then if they would take my Rod, who would 301 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 3: be right in the face of what Isaac is saying. 302 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 3: If you start suspending players for their actions, no one's 303 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 3: going to be want to missing want to be missing 304 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 3: those game checks. So that would probably curtail what Isaac 305 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 3: is loving about the w W E, n B A. 306 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 3: How whatever you want to, however you want to, you 307 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,760 Speaker 3: want to place it. I will say this and and 308 00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 3: and want Bow and christawayne as well. I said yesterday 309 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 3: that there's always an initiation period, right of passages you 310 00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,360 Speaker 3: talked about, and when you look at the NBA, you 311 00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 3: talk about the Pistons and what the Pistons did and 312 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 3: Bill Lambier, and you know, thirty years after the fact, 313 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 3: Bill Mbier still doesn't have any remorse, or thirty five 314 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 3: years from the hard follows that he delivered the Boston 315 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 3: Celtics or Michael Jordan or anybody else, that is who 316 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 3: they were. But that's one team trying to find an 317 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 3: identity in a world where there is a Jordan. There 318 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 3: is a magic there is a bird for sure. Yeah, 319 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 3: this is an entire league against one player, which I 320 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:35,960 Speaker 3: think makes it a little bit different. 321 00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:36,680 Speaker 2: Bo Benson. 322 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 6: I think it's good, honestly for the WNBA. I saw 323 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:41,760 Speaker 6: a few tweets that were like, this is you know 324 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,400 Speaker 6: you want to be a league like the NBA. Well, 325 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,120 Speaker 6: this is part of the NBA, so this should be 326 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 6: in WNBA. Her teammates need to look out for. I 327 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 6: hope that what comes of this mostly is better audio 328 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 6: equipment for the postgame press conferences so that we can 329 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 6: actually hear some of the sound that comes out of it. 330 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 3: I think they set up shop in a locker room. Yeah, 331 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 3: that's where the sky. We gotta we gotta get into 332 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 3: the actual press conference rooms. Get these ladies in stever, 333 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 3: give you a podium. But truly they put up a 334 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:12,960 Speaker 3: table because you could see a cubby or a locker 335 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 3: on one of the camera angles next to Kennedy Carter 336 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,160 Speaker 3: and you're like, what are you doing? Like this is 337 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 3: this is you don't You're in an NBA arena. You 338 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 3: can't set it up in a way where you have 339 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 3: the fever have their own podium. It's set up and 340 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 3: but but to his point, also, then a lot of 341 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 3: the video we see is from the reporter on the side. Yeah, 342 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 3: not the straight on shot that's plugged in with clear audience. 343 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 6: And like to echo what Isaac said, like, I love 344 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,280 Speaker 6: that we're talking about the w NBA as a father 345 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:41,360 Speaker 6: of a daughter, Like, it's cool that she's gonna be 346 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 6: able to grow up and hopefully have this league on 347 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:45,480 Speaker 6: on days where she can sit down and why we 348 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 6: can watch the games together. It's cool to have that. 349 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:48,720 Speaker 6: So I'm glad for it. 350 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 7: Chris Purfett, So, I have two sisters, both of them 351 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 7: played field hockey, the younger of the two a lot 352 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,280 Speaker 7: more field hockey. Uh, to the point where when offered 353 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 7: to play women's lacrosse, she said no because she can't 354 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:02,200 Speaker 7: check anyone. 355 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 1: She likes violence. 356 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 7: So seeing the w NBA embracing the hits and everything 357 00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 7: something that I think, you know, I I find it 358 00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:16,639 Speaker 7: fascinating kind of what we do in that that past 359 00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,879 Speaker 7: you talk about, the Bill Mbier past. The past of 360 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:25,919 Speaker 7: physical men's basketball is so valorized and romanticized by certain 361 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,639 Speaker 7: sports fans out there, but that this becomes an issue, No, 362 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:32,120 Speaker 7: I love the I love the physicality of it. I think, maybe, yeah, 363 00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:34,360 Speaker 7: there's her teammates do probably need to have her back 364 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:37,600 Speaker 7: a little bit more. But Dilo's point, we're talking about it, 365 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:39,960 Speaker 7: and it may it may look ugly at points, but 366 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,959 Speaker 7: it is it. It amplifies the drama of what we 367 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,880 Speaker 7: are watching, and that sells sport more than anything else. 368 00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 3: If Caitlyn Clark takes a hit and tears a ligament 369 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 3: in her knee, because somebody wanted to take a cheap shot, 370 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:54,640 Speaker 3: how's how's that good for the game? 371 00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:56,679 Speaker 2: Won't be good for their product? Then let me know. 372 00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 4: And let's let me rephrase something that said earlier. We 373 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,480 Speaker 4: said something about those girl. I want to say those women, 374 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,119 Speaker 4: they are women, So let's make sure we put that 375 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,880 Speaker 4: out there. But no, if she gets if she gets 376 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,119 Speaker 4: hurt and you take away the gold and Gulston, of 377 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:11,720 Speaker 4: course that league would be in shambles again. 378 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:12,919 Speaker 2: And so you don't want that. 379 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:16,400 Speaker 3: And the other part is I understand like the physicality 380 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 3: of it, but nobody else is taking shots like that. 381 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,439 Speaker 3: Angel Reese did take the hard foul. I admit that 382 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:25,639 Speaker 3: I do feel that action is different on the block 383 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,359 Speaker 3: around the hoop than it is when you're just in 384 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:32,360 Speaker 3: the backcourt trying to imbound inbound something that's exactly what 385 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:35,879 Speaker 3: ended up happening. And Angel Reese's shot was probably more 386 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:40,280 Speaker 3: vicious than what Caitlin Clark took yesterday. But it just 387 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:43,960 Speaker 3: felt that yesterday's shot was so unnecessary and was so 388 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:47,399 Speaker 3: targeted that the foul on Angel Reese could have actually 389 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 3: have been any power forward or center on. 390 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 2: The Chicago sky in that aspect.

I 423 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:26,639 Speaker 3: know you're a Mavericks fan, but the possibility of seeing 424 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,399 Speaker 3: buddy of yours, Kris topsperzingis back on the court for 425 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:31,400 Speaker 3: the Boston Celtics. 426 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:35,119 Speaker 4: Oh, this is a hard one for me picking this final. 427 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:40,560 Speaker 4: I had this this vision, you know, obviously of Kyrie 428 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,480 Speaker 4: going back and I've been to Kyrie fan as well, 429 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:45,480 Speaker 4: I mean since since his day is at Duke, So 430 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 4: I mean I've seen him play since Dan and I 431 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:50,120 Speaker 4: just knew then that he was a super special talent. 432 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 4: All those things that have materialized to be true. 433 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:54,800 Speaker 3: And by the way, it was days at Duke because 434 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 3: he was injured half his own that's right. He can't 435 00:20:57,560 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 3: say months, that's right. It was like days, that's right, 436 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:00,920 Speaker 3: that's right. 437 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,280 Speaker 4: And seeing them there, and then you know, obviously being 438 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,399 Speaker 4: a Dallas fan and getting the whole Porzingis thing happened 439 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,959 Speaker 4: to trade. He comes in and I'm so excited for 440 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 4: the combination of Luca and Porzingis. I'm like, it's it's 441 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:15,879 Speaker 4: dirt two point zero and there's no way that's not 442 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:17,920 Speaker 4: going to work out. And then it, for some reason 443 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 4: doesn't work out. But the idea of him leaving, going 444 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,399 Speaker 4: to get himself right and becoming this version of himself 445 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 4: which seems mature and humble and having humility in his 446 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,919 Speaker 4: new role, and the dynamic that kind of exists with 447 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 4: the same thing with Kyrie, right, having some i think 448 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,120 Speaker 4: being humbled and having some humility come in his situation. 449 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:37,640 Speaker 2: That's some growth. 450 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 4: And so both stories are so juicy and so different, 451 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 4: but they all come and stem from. 452 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:43,359 Speaker 2: The same place. 453 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:47,880 Speaker 4: Sure, people that have been at a certain place, humbled 454 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 4: in that place and having to leave and reinvent themselves 455 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 4: in different places. And the fact that the culmination of 456 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:56,200 Speaker 4: that story ends up being in the NBA Finals against 457 00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,359 Speaker 4: their former teams. It's just crazy. So it's hard to 458 00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:01,199 Speaker 4: pick one. But obviously it's got to be the Kyrie thing. 459 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:02,120 Speaker 4: It's such a big deal. 460 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:04,480 Speaker 3: I think the Kyrie thing is the story, and I 461 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,239 Speaker 3: also think it's a story because I don't know if 462 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:09,479 Speaker 3: Porzingis plays. I don't think that he does. To be 463 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,840 Speaker 3: honest with you, I just don't. You've got maximum seven 464 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:16,240 Speaker 3: games left in your season. At some point there's got 465 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 3: to be some ramp up and for and I know 466 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,920 Speaker 3: the road that they travel to get here was made 467 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:27,480 Speaker 3: easier because of the injuries that the other teams ended 468 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:32,600 Speaker 3: up dealing with Donovan Mitchell, Jimmy Butler, most recently Tyree's Halliburton. 469 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:34,800 Speaker 3: It's not to say Boston wasn't the better team in 470 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:37,399 Speaker 3: you know, each of those series, because they were, but 471 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:39,880 Speaker 3: it made life a little bit easier. You just don't know, 472 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 3: all right, do we really need Christops Porzingis, and I 473 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,120 Speaker 3: just don't think that there's a way to incorporate him 474 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,640 Speaker 3: over these final two weeks of the season and these 475 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,399 Speaker 3: seven games to make it work where it would be 476 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 3: worthwhile without risking serious injury to the player. And and 477 00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 3: I know, like you bring in Christops Porzingis to win 478 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:04,560 Speaker 3: an NBA championship and you're in the NBA Finals, I 479 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 3: just think it actually has does more harm than good 480 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,159 Speaker 3: to the other players in trying to figure it out 481 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 3: a way to incorporate him. 482 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:12,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's hard. I know we talked about this last week. 483 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,840 Speaker 4: I felt it may have been two weeks ago, but 484 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,320 Speaker 4: I felt that they were talking about he had a 485 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:20,920 Speaker 4: possibility of coming back in Game four against the Pacers, 486 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,159 Speaker 4: and the fans are like, no, he said, wait to 487 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 4: the finals, and I thought, I'm the same. 488 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 2: I'm with you. 489 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:26,680 Speaker 4: I thought they should have played him if he could 490 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:28,960 Speaker 4: have played and had a little, you know, like you said, 491 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:30,879 Speaker 4: a sort of a ramp up towards the finals to 492 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 4: get back, you know, into the flow with the teammates. 493 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:37,320 Speaker 4: And you know, it's it's hard to bring somebody back 494 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:38,960 Speaker 4: in the thralls of. 495 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:40,560 Speaker 2: Competition the way they are right now. 496 00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 3: So it is tough and not to not I'm just 497 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 3: gonna use Derek White as an example. But if if 498 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,400 Speaker 3: Derek White was the one who was hurt and Chris 499 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,320 Speaker 3: Stops Porzingis was the one who was playing, I actually 500 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:54,320 Speaker 3: think it's probably easier to be like, all right, we're 501 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,280 Speaker 3: gonna keep Derek White out because I think the Celtics 502 00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 3: do need size, especially with Lively and Gafford, and even 503 00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:07,480 Speaker 3: more importantly on the defensive end of just having someone 504 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:10,720 Speaker 3: there of that stature, especially if Kyrie and Lucy getting 505 00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 3: to the basket. So that's why I also think it's 506 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:14,320 Speaker 3: it's a bit of a dilemma because they do think 507 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,919 Speaker 3: that the Mavericks will be able to take. 508 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,119 Speaker 2: Advantage of the lack of size that Boston. 509 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,840 Speaker 4: And even on top of that, in the regular season 510 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:27,240 Speaker 4: when they did play, Gafford was unplayable because Porzingis stretches 511 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 4: them so only offensive end. It brings out that shot blocker, 512 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:35,119 Speaker 4: which in the series in OKCE and Minnesota, Gafford and 513 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:36,639 Speaker 4: Lively were able to sit in the paint because of 514 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:39,240 Speaker 4: Rudy Gobert, right, And so that's why a lot of 515 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,800 Speaker 4: the analysts were saying they needed to play small to 516 00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 4: have a chance to win. 517 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:43,480 Speaker 2: It was true. 518 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:46,960 Speaker 4: And so with Porzinga's on offense with Boston, you're able 519 00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 4: to play that five out. He can go in the 520 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:50,840 Speaker 4: post and he can score. But when you play the 521 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,480 Speaker 4: five out, it gives their offense a dynamic that they 522 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:59,159 Speaker 4: don't have right now, and it makes Dallas Biggs not 523 00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:01,400 Speaker 4: be as big of a down lowis Fogs being able 524 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:02,640 Speaker 4: to block shots, and that's a big deal. 525 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:03,720 Speaker 2: He's carry roads. 526 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,720 Speaker 3: I'm Dan Byer face of the NBA discussion coming up next, 527 00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,119 Speaker 3: but first let's jump over to the news desk.

There are women. 576 00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,960 Speaker 4: And I was like, they're women, mom. So that was 577 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:45,280 Speaker 4: the reason that I changed it up. 578 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 3: My mom likes to send in texts and tell me 579 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:51,399 Speaker 3: like she disagrees with my take. You know, she's just like, 580 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,959 Speaker 3: you're an idiot. No, she doesn't say that, by the way, Carrie. 581 00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:59,320 Speaker 3: Carrie just liked to tweet from Pat that said watch 582 00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,560 Speaker 3: the game tape, Caitlyn Clark isn't as clean as you're 583 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:06,119 Speaker 3: trying to portray. I don't think we're trying to portray 584 00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:10,280 Speaker 3: Caitlyn Clark is being clean by any stretch of the imagination. 585 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:14,360 Speaker 3: She does talk a little here and there. For sure, 586 00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:17,240 Speaker 3: she's complained with the officials. We saw it in college, 587 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:20,280 Speaker 3: we see it in the NBA when she got teed up. 588 00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:24,320 Speaker 3: But there is a difference when someone is zeroing in 589 00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,160 Speaker 3: on you on an inbounds and just trying to take 590 00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:29,040 Speaker 3: you out. If Kitlyn Clark's having beef with the officials, 591 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:30,679 Speaker 3: I don't think that has anything to do with what 592 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:32,240 Speaker 3: the Chicago Sky are dealing. 593 00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:34,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean there can It could be a hard file. 594 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:36,400 Speaker 4: We talked about it. You've talked about like Angel Rees 595 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:38,640 Speaker 4: being hard, you know, getting the hard files and saying 596 00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:41,400 Speaker 4: she loved it as basketball, And that can happen during 597 00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:43,200 Speaker 4: the play that was of Blakant. 598 00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:45,800 Speaker 2: She doesn't even have the ball. She's being targeted in 599 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:46,360 Speaker 2: that situation. 600 00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:49,960 Speaker 3: All right, face of the NBA conversation now picks up 601 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:55,200 Speaker 3: here Anthony Edwards not the guy, and now Luka Doncic 602 00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:58,680 Speaker 3: in place. Did you think the whole conversation was comical 603 00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:01,920 Speaker 3: of of the NBA or do you just think it 604 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:06,240 Speaker 3: was too soon that people were crowning Anthony Edwards because 605 00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:09,560 Speaker 3: my whole take on it was this was face of 606 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:10,080 Speaker 3: the NBA. 607 00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:12,240 Speaker 2: You just you know it when it's there. 608 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:16,880 Speaker 3: And and honestly, until Lebron retires, he's still gonna be 609 00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:18,240 Speaker 3: face to the NBA. I don't care if there's a 610 00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:20,280 Speaker 3: seventh seed and nine seed, a ten seed, not me 611 00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:22,560 Speaker 3: in the playoffs, right, he's gonna be the face of 612 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:25,600 Speaker 3: the NBA. But once he ends up moving on, it's 613 00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,560 Speaker 3: all right. Who carries that torch? And I think it's 614 00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:31,080 Speaker 3: more of a matter. Here's why I don't mind the discussion. 615 00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:32,880 Speaker 3: I just put I'll put it that way because you 616 00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,760 Speaker 3: know who isn't And so if you are having a 617 00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:40,040 Speaker 3: discussion who is or who maybe then they're in the conversation. Sure, 618 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:43,320 Speaker 3: But for like for the NBA finals, Jason Tatum not 619 00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:44,560 Speaker 3: gonna be the face of the NBA. 620 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:45,840 Speaker 2: Just not gonna happen. 621 00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:50,040 Speaker 3: And yeah, there's you know, the other great players, Jalen Brunson, 622 00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:51,600 Speaker 3: for as great as he is, he's not gonna be 623 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:53,840 Speaker 3: the face of the NBA. But Anthony Edwards was showing 624 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:56,840 Speaker 3: so much and so much promise at such a young age. 625 00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,760 Speaker 3: You're like, this could be a candidate. This could be 626 00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:03,840 Speaker 3: you know, Luca. Luca's had that label for years and 627 00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:06,080 Speaker 3: he could be the guy, and then they kind of 628 00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:08,160 Speaker 3: fall off and you're like, well, maybe he's not going 629 00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:10,000 Speaker 3: to be that guy if he doesn't end up coming through. 630 00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:12,560 Speaker 3: And now it's back up to that point. So I 631 00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:16,120 Speaker 3: think Anthony Edwards has the possibility. I think Luka Doncic 632 00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:19,680 Speaker 3: has the possibility. It's who's the next greatest player in 633 00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,200 Speaker 3: the NBA or the best player in the NBA could 634 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:25,719 Speaker 3: be Victor wamban Yama for everything. I just we know 635 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:28,160 Speaker 3: who isn't right, and we are still trying to find 636 00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:30,200 Speaker 3: out who is. And that's why, like, I'm actually okay 637 00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:31,040 Speaker 3: with the conversation. 638 00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, the conversation just it makes me laugh a lot though, 639 00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:37,840 Speaker 4: because for me, I take into consideration. So I will 640 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,720 Speaker 4: say this, it's two parts of this, right, So be 641 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:42,680 Speaker 4: in the face of the NBA. Obviously, you got to 642 00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,280 Speaker 4: be good and you have to win a lot and 643 00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,080 Speaker 4: you have to do certain things right there. There's a 644 00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:50,760 Speaker 4: criteria that goes along with your playing ability to be 645 00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:51,920 Speaker 4: the face of the NBA. 646 00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:52,840 Speaker 2: And when you. 647 00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:57,040 Speaker 4: Start saying this guy is the face of the NBA 648 00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:00,360 Speaker 4: in the midst of a run which had which hasn't 649 00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:03,600 Speaker 4: been completed yet. It's just it's lunacy when I think 650 00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:07,040 Speaker 4: about it, because again, you can win that round, in 651 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:09,200 Speaker 4: the next round, you look human, and then we're having 652 00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:11,920 Speaker 4: a whole different discussion right where Anthony Edwards the first 653 00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:15,480 Speaker 4: two rounds looked phenomenal and you're like, man, he might be. 654 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,160 Speaker 4: Then you come into this, into the conference finals, and 655 00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:22,200 Speaker 4: he just looks kind of normal, still good, but normal. 656 00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,160 Speaker 4: And then I think the other part of that is, 657 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:28,120 Speaker 4: and the reason why Anthony was probably been put in 658 00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:31,160 Speaker 4: that spot is because his personality. 659 00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 2: People want to hear from him. 660 00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:34,240 Speaker 4: People want to know what he's doing, People want to 661 00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:36,400 Speaker 4: know the next thing he's gonna say, right, and so 662 00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:38,120 Speaker 4: he fits all the molds. 663 00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:39,440 Speaker 2: So I do understand why. 664 00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:42,040 Speaker 4: But it's since we live in these in this prisoner 665 00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:44,800 Speaker 4: of the moment situation where we want to anoint the 666 00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:45,440 Speaker 4: next big. 667 00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:46,840 Speaker 2: Thing and be the first one to do it. That's 668 00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:48,600 Speaker 2: fair and so that part. 669 00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:50,080 Speaker 4: But yeah, I mean, when it comes to the face 670 00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:53,320 Speaker 4: of NBA, man, it's gonna materialize in the way that 671 00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:56,280 Speaker 4: it should. And if you win, like Luca has that chance, 672 00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:57,440 Speaker 4: I still don't know if he'd be the face of 673 00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:00,480 Speaker 4: the NBA because of the language barrier. So it's it's 674 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:01,920 Speaker 4: just so many different factors. 675 00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:04,320 Speaker 3: That going to play with it. You are correct in 676 00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:06,560 Speaker 3: that matter. It is a conversation that isn't just a 677 00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:09,520 Speaker 3: Johnny come Lately. I think in the past we looked 678 00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:11,680 Speaker 3: at it, who's going to carry the torch? That's how 679 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:14,280 Speaker 3: we ended up looking at it. And I do think 680 00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:17,480 Speaker 3: that there are two similar things because you knew Larry 681 00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:19,000 Speaker 3: Bird was at the end of his career in the 682 00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:22,200 Speaker 3: late eighties early nineties with his back problems, and Magic 683 00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,480 Speaker 3: obviously wasn't going to be playing tons of years. And 684 00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:28,360 Speaker 3: then you had the HIV diagnosis, and there's Michael Jordan, 685 00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:32,800 Speaker 3: you know, you know, ready to take that torch from 686 00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:36,000 Speaker 3: Bird and Magic and carry carry it himself for the 687 00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:41,000 Speaker 3: next decade plus. And then he had Kobe's great success. 688 00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:45,440 Speaker 3: And it's so those conversations have happened. That's nothing new. 689 00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:48,360 Speaker 3: But to your point, we weren't saying it in nineteen 690 00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:53,080 Speaker 3: eighty six when Jordan was scoring sixty three points. We 691 00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:55,880 Speaker 3: were like, that's pretty amazing. Look at Jordan's sixty three. 692 00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:58,720 Speaker 3: You know, they lose the series and lose the game 693 00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:01,080 Speaker 3: of the Celtics, you know, like but at that point, 694 00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:03,560 Speaker 3: like there's something where I don't think we were having 695 00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:06,640 Speaker 3: that conversation at that time, but maybe that's your you know, 696 00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:10,200 Speaker 3: arrival moment, if you will. But we weren't saying, all right, 697 00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:11,920 Speaker 3: he's gonna be the face of the NBA. There's still 698 00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:13,040 Speaker 3: levels that he had to get to. 699 00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:14,440 Speaker 4: And then one more thing when that and one more 700 00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:16,800 Speaker 4: thing on that. It's like there's so much parody in 701 00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:21,760 Speaker 4: the NBA. Now it's gonna be guys winning here and there, 702 00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:24,520 Speaker 4: and you may win one and you may not win again. 703 00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:28,440 Speaker 4: And so is it gonna be solely based off the 704 00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:31,160 Speaker 4: championships and what you do as a winner or is 705 00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:33,320 Speaker 4: it going to be the quotes that you say? And 706 00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:35,840 Speaker 4: I think that conversation ships all this stuff. I'll tell 707 00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:36,680 Speaker 4: you the other big one. 708 00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:37,600 Speaker 2: Healthy. 709 00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:40,160 Speaker 3: You know, who's gonna be able to actually stay healthy? 710 00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:44,240 Speaker 3: And you know Jordan early in his career when he missed, 711 00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:46,360 Speaker 3: you know, the time of this broken foot, you wouldn't 712 00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:48,440 Speaker 3: have maybe at that point you'd be like red flag. 713 00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:50,680 Speaker 3: Remember you missed that, you know most of that season 714 00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:54,200 Speaker 3: because of his of his foot right, And now health 715 00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:57,720 Speaker 3: is much more bigger much more bigger conversation, topic of 716 00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:01,080 Speaker 3: conversation when you're talking about guys in there their lasting 717 00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:05,160 Speaker 3: image in the NBA. He's carry Roads. I'm Dan Byer. 718 00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:07,360 Speaker 3: We are alive for the tier raq dot com studios. 719 00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:09,279 Speaker 3: All right, we're gonna shift gears. We actually are going 720 00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:13,279 Speaker 3: to talk NFL because one NFL coach said something this 721 00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:16,319 Speaker 3: week that sounds great. I just don't believe a word 722 00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:18,840 Speaker 3: of it. He's carry on, Dan, that's next year on 723 00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:20,800 Speaker 3: Fox Sports Sunday, Fox Sports Sunday. 724 00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:23,600 Speaker 2: I'm Dan Byer. He's the all Pro. Carry Rhoades with you. 725 00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:26,080 Speaker 3: Still a few days away from Game one of the 726 00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:29,480 Speaker 3: NBA Finals and still a few months away from the 727 00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:31,520 Speaker 3: start of the NFL season, but there was some NFL 728 00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:35,520 Speaker 3: news carry Yeah that surfaced earlier this week. Ota is 729 00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:38,520 Speaker 3: taking place hearing coaches talk, players talk, and one of 730 00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:41,960 Speaker 3: the coaches that spoke was Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, 731 00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:46,279 Speaker 3: who was a hot candidate during the coaching cycle where 732 00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:49,760 Speaker 3: there were eight vacancies in the NFL. He in fact 733 00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:53,680 Speaker 3: was still alive up until about the final two vacancies. 734 00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:56,720 Speaker 3: The Seahawks and the Commanders had not made their hires 735 00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:59,720 Speaker 3: as of yet, and then Johnson ended up with drawing 736 00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:03,320 Speaker 3: with the Seahawks, and then the commander's contingent was actually 737 00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:05,279 Speaker 3: on their way to Detroit to speak with him and 738 00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:09,080 Speaker 3: Aaron Glenn and Johnson ended up dropping out. So here 739 00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:12,480 Speaker 3: was Johnson explaining on why he chose to stay in 740 00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:15,959 Speaker 3: Detroit as the Lions OC in twenty twenty four. 741 00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:18,919 Speaker 11: Okay, eight openings this past year. What would you set 742 00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:21,719 Speaker 11: the over under how many still have jobs? I would 743 00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:23,680 Speaker 11: say there's a good chance five of them are out 744 00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:25,839 Speaker 11: of jobs in three years. I love what I'm doing 745 00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:28,719 Speaker 11: right now, love it, love, I love where I'm at, 746 00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:31,920 Speaker 11: my family, loves where we're at, love the people that 747 00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:35,279 Speaker 11: we're doing it with, and so I'm not willing to 748 00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,960 Speaker 11: go down the other path yet unless I feel really 749 00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:41,360 Speaker 11: good about how it's going to unfold. 750 00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:44,680 Speaker 3: All right, there's do you like that comment for Ben 751 00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:48,280 Speaker 3: Johnson on why he decided to stay with the Lions. 752 00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:49,160 Speaker 2: I do. 753 00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:55,359 Speaker 4: I think it's if it's true, it sounds good, it 754 00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:56,480 Speaker 4: makes it's half true. 755 00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:58,399 Speaker 2: You're right, it makes a lot of sense. 756 00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:01,919 Speaker 4: I'm sure there was some negotiation stuff that took place 757 00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:04,760 Speaker 4: that he didn't feel good about at some of those places. 758 00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:08,320 Speaker 4: But again, if you know, if his ultimate goal was 759 00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:09,600 Speaker 4: to be a head coach. You want to be a 760 00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:11,760 Speaker 4: head coach, you're probably gonna take a job, right, Yes, 761 00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:15,279 Speaker 4: But if there's some that family element of it, if 762 00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:18,320 Speaker 4: there is truth around that, I could see that also 763 00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:21,480 Speaker 4: being a plausible a plausible situation. 764 00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:23,560 Speaker 2: So I think I agree with you. 765 00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:26,719 Speaker 4: I think it's half truth, and the way that he 766 00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:29,680 Speaker 4: said it, I would be okay with that response. 767 00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:33,879 Speaker 3: All right about you, Dan, I'm gonna let Chris Prefet talk, 768 00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:35,759 Speaker 3: but you have to keep it short, Chris, because we 769 00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:37,640 Speaker 3: got to play the other piece of the audio and 770 00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:38,520 Speaker 3: I got something to say. 771 00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:39,120 Speaker 2: What do you got? 772 00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:42,759 Speaker 7: So definitely there was some falling out that happened with 773 00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:45,000 Speaker 7: the commanders. I think we know that considering the back 774 00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:46,840 Speaker 7: and forth they had. But also at the top of 775 00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:49,960 Speaker 7: it too is like he's thirty eight. I think sometimes 776 00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:52,080 Speaker 7: you're rushing these I mean, to his point, I think 777 00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:55,160 Speaker 7: we're rushing these coordinators too fast into a head coaching position. 778 00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:58,480 Speaker 7: And he's at an organization that famously has someone who 779 00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:01,279 Speaker 7: has no coordinator background as the head coach. I think 780 00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:04,280 Speaker 7: he understands a little bit the difference and the jump 781 00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:07,879 Speaker 7: in and the difference and skills between coordinating versus head coach. 782 00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:11,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's very fair. I agree with him that his 783 00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:15,640 Speaker 3: family probably loves Detroit. I love the Midwest, you know 784 00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:20,480 Speaker 3: I do, And that may be fine. But when you're 785 00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:23,759 Speaker 3: a coach, there's a coach's family and there's rules that 786 00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:26,040 Speaker 3: go along with it. You know, you're not going to 787 00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:28,120 Speaker 3: be in a place for thirty five years. You're not 788 00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:31,040 Speaker 3: going to It's just it's not going to happen. He 789 00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:33,359 Speaker 3: would not be the first coach to take a job 790 00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:36,160 Speaker 3: elsewhere and his family not necessarily love it. So I 791 00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:41,240 Speaker 3: appreciate if he is taking his family's consideration into the decision. 792 00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:44,160 Speaker 3: But what's the difference between now and say, twelve months 793 00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:46,719 Speaker 3: from now, or what would be now eight or nine 794 00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:48,439 Speaker 3: months from now if you're a coach? 795 00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:49,760 Speaker 2: Just not much different. 796 00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:52,759 Speaker 3: What I thought was interesting was the first part that 797 00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:55,200 Speaker 3: he said about you know, hey, I want to get 798 00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:58,160 Speaker 3: to that second contract. Eight of these coaches? How many 799 00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:00,200 Speaker 3: are going to be fired? Four or five of them? 800 00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:04,399 Speaker 3: When you look at the actual vacancies, there's there's there's 801 00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:08,680 Speaker 3: interesting stuff on who was vacant in what jobs were vacant, 802 00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:12,320 Speaker 3: and which ones weren't. Justin Herbert quarterback of the Chargers. 803 00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:14,799 Speaker 3: Jim Harbaughs his coach. I don't think that job's going 804 00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:18,160 Speaker 3: to be vacant because they have a quarterback. Washington didn't 805 00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:19,600 Speaker 3: have a quarterback at the time. They had the second 806 00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:23,360 Speaker 3: overall pick, the Seahawk, said Gino Smith. The Tennessee Titans 807 00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:26,280 Speaker 3: have Will Lovis second round pick. The alunt of Falcons 808 00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:29,520 Speaker 3: at that point weren't in on Kirk Cousins. There was 809 00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:33,839 Speaker 3: free agency wasn't happening. There was no quarterback there. New 810 00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:35,439 Speaker 3: England was gonna have a top pick, but it wasn't 811 00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:38,439 Speaker 3: number one overall. The point being is, I think Ben 812 00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:41,040 Speaker 3: Johnson wants to go to a place where there's a quarterback, yeah, 813 00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:44,480 Speaker 3: and a quarterback in place, And maybe you can't say that, 814 00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:47,600 Speaker 3: but that's where I think why Ben Johnson didn't necessarily 815 00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:50,440 Speaker 3: take any of the jobs. Do we got the last 816 00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:53,880 Speaker 3: bit that we could play from quick Chris just just 817 00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:58,520 Speaker 3: in what he said, maybe we'd just I thought there 818 00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:00,080 Speaker 3: were two cuts? Did we playing back to back? 819 00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:02,600 Speaker 2: Are we good? Yeah? Back? Okay? There it is, so 820 00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:04,160 Speaker 2: there there. I thought there was another cut. 821 00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:07,120 Speaker 3: But that's the that's the point of it of if 822 00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:09,320 Speaker 3: you're Ben Johnson, you want to go to a place, 823 00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:12,400 Speaker 3: and I think he gave Seattle an interview because I 824 00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:14,800 Speaker 3: think he felt John Schneider in that front office were stable, 825 00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:18,359 Speaker 3: that there was the possibility. But I think in the end, 826 00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:21,520 Speaker 3: you're like, all right, who is my quarterback? Isn't gonna 827 00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:23,360 Speaker 3: be Gino Smith? Are we gonna be bad enough to 828 00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:26,480 Speaker 3: draft the guy at number two and number three? Had 829 00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:28,400 Speaker 3: a bunch of good quarterbacks in this draft, as we 830 00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:31,239 Speaker 3: saw Jaden Daniels and Drake Mago two and three. But 831 00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:33,000 Speaker 3: maybe he's not enamored with it. 832 00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:37,000 Speaker 2: I just think that that is probably the place, uh, 833 00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:39,680 Speaker 2: and the reason why Ben Johnson said what he said 834 00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:42,520 Speaker 2: and did what he did, that the vacancies that were 835 00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:46,680 Speaker 2: available just weren't quarterback friendly, except really with the Chargers, 836 00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:48,800 Speaker 2: and if they had their sites set on Jim Harball, 837 00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:52,000 Speaker 2: you're not getting that job. That makes makes makes a 838 00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:52,560 Speaker 2: lot of sense. 839 00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:55,720 Speaker 4: I think as a OC and coming from a situation 840 00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:58,440 Speaker 4: where he had a stable quarterback and a quarterback that was, 841 00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:02,040 Speaker 4: you know, competent enough to run his offense the way 842 00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:04,000 Speaker 4: that he wanted it, to go to a situation where 843 00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:07,560 Speaker 4: that didn't exist would probably be less desirable. 844 00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:08,359 Speaker 2: So yeah, it makes sense. 845 00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:10,160 Speaker 3: To me, and I know the Panthers were in on 846 00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:13,600 Speaker 3: him and he shunned them in twenty twenty three and 847 00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:17,080 Speaker 3: did again in twenty twenty four, and who knows. The 848 00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:19,920 Speaker 3: jury's still out on Bryce Young, so we'll have that discussion. 849 00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:22,680 Speaker 3: He's Carrier Roads.

I sat in with Mark Medina yesterday 862 00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:03,040 Speaker 3: r Fox Radio, NFL or NBA Insider and we handed 863 00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:05,680 Speaker 3: it up for two hours, talking a lot of NBA 864 00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:08,960 Speaker 3: just like you and I are Kerry here, and there 865 00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:09,960 Speaker 3: had been something that's. 866 00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:11,440 Speaker 2: Been on my mind, and it's been on my mind 867 00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:13,040 Speaker 2: not just recently. 868 00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:16,279 Speaker 12: I've thought about this over the last few years in 869 00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:23,000 Speaker 12: where we look at brands in sports, NFL, Major League Baseball, 870 00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:27,200 Speaker 12: and in this case, the NBA, because I was just 871 00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:33,200 Speaker 12: astonished at how the Golden State Warriors brand had evolved 872 00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:36,640 Speaker 12: over what is now the past decade where there was 873 00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:39,120 Speaker 12: a point where the only thing that I remember people 874 00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:44,480 Speaker 12: talking about the Warriors were run TMC and maybe a 875 00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:50,080 Speaker 12: few Baron Davis highlights that we believe team Yes, that 876 00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:54,000 Speaker 12: was it, like it was buried in the Bay Area. 877 00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:57,160 Speaker 3: Is how I felt about the Golden State Warriors for 878 00:41:57,360 --> 00:42:01,720 Speaker 3: a majority of my life up until Steph Curry becomes 879 00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:05,000 Speaker 3: Steph Curry, Steve Kurt takes over and they're off and running, 880 00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:07,880 Speaker 3: because even when Mark Jackson was there early, Steph wasn't 881 00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:10,719 Speaker 3: Steph at that point. It was really when Steve Kurt 882 00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:14,120 Speaker 3: took over and Clay became who Clay is and Draymond 883 00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:18,000 Speaker 3: is Draymond and now the Warriors are are this brand 884 00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:22,080 Speaker 3: that I had actually felt had risen as high as 885 00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:25,160 Speaker 3: number two in the NBA, that I felt that their 886 00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:28,080 Speaker 3: brand was so popular that they were a topic of 887 00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:32,680 Speaker 3: conversation no matter what, that they were only behind the 888 00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:37,440 Speaker 3: Los Angeles Lakers, and that then told me, well, then 889 00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:39,839 Speaker 3: if the Warriors moved up to two, who fell, Well, 890 00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:42,960 Speaker 3: the Bulls had their run, and I think in the nineties, honestly, 891 00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:45,600 Speaker 3: they were probably more popular than the Lakers. Maybe the 892 00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:49,719 Speaker 3: Lakers ended up dropping a spot, but you also have 893 00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:53,040 Speaker 3: a team like the New York Knicks that were popular 894 00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:55,200 Speaker 3: and popular in the city, and we saw how crazy 895 00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:57,200 Speaker 3: things can get when the Knicks are good. But the 896 00:42:57,280 --> 00:42:59,400 Speaker 3: Knicks were bad. The Knicks were bad for a long time, 897 00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:03,239 Speaker 3: and they that cachet didn't end up carrying over. And 898 00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:06,160 Speaker 3: then you had the Boston Celtics, some would argue the 899 00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:10,440 Speaker 3: most storied franchise in the NBA, And honestly, them and 900 00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:14,400 Speaker 3: the Lakers playing off each other was the starting point 901 00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:18,040 Speaker 3: for how I got to thinking about this because I 902 00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:20,000 Speaker 3: just thought it was so amazing that I could hate 903 00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:22,240 Speaker 3: both teams in the NBA finals when I was growing 904 00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:24,480 Speaker 3: up in the eighties. But it was true because I 905 00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:27,600 Speaker 3: hated the Celtics and I sure sec didn't like the Lakers, 906 00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:30,680 Speaker 3: so I really didn't care who won in the NBA 907 00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:33,520 Speaker 3: finals because I didn't like either team, and they ended 908 00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:35,680 Speaker 3: up playing in eighty four, ended up playing in eighty five, 909 00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:38,120 Speaker 3: they ended up playing in eighty seven, and it was 910 00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:40,600 Speaker 3: just all right enough. And this is forty years ago, 911 00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:43,720 Speaker 3: but so now here we are about to enter fast 912 00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:47,880 Speaker 3: forward to present day June second, twenty twenty four, and 913 00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:51,040 Speaker 3: we go into an NBA Finals where that story franchise 914 00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:55,800 Speaker 3: of the Boston Celtics is playing second fiddle to their opponent. 915 00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:59,280 Speaker 3: That isn't the Los Angeles Lakers, that isn't the Golden 916 00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:03,880 Speaker 3: State Warriors, It's the Dallas Mavericks. Sorry, the Dallas Mavericks 917 00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:07,440 Speaker 3: are the draw in this series. People are not tuning 918 00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:10,439 Speaker 3: in to go and watch Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown 919 00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:13,640 Speaker 3: and the Boston Celtics. They may be in Massachusetts, they 920 00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:16,440 Speaker 3: may be in Maine, in Vermont, New Hampshire, but the 921 00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:19,440 Speaker 3: rest of the country is not enamored with the Boston Celtics. 922 00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:21,960 Speaker 3: And in fact, I would argue that outside of the 923 00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:25,040 Speaker 3: two thousand and eight championship with Paul Pearson, Kevin Garnett 924 00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:28,040 Speaker 3: and Ray Allen, that for about the past thirty five 925 00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:30,640 Speaker 3: to forty years, no one has been enamored with the 926 00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:34,720 Speaker 3: Boston Celtics. That they have fallen into not a Johnny 927 00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:38,239 Speaker 3: Come Lately. But their brand is not the brand of 928 00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:41,560 Speaker 3: the NBA, the true brand of the NBA. And I'm 929 00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:45,400 Speaker 3: sorry Celtics fans, the Lakers are the brand of the NBA. 930 00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:47,200 Speaker 2: It is not the Boston Celtics. 931 00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:49,879 Speaker 3: And if you need any evidence, just look at who 932 00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:52,520 Speaker 3: the main draws of this NBA Finals, because it's not 933 00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:53,520 Speaker 3: the team in Boston. 934 00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:57,239 Speaker 4: Man, this is a layered conversation, and everything you said 935 00:44:57,440 --> 00:45:01,960 Speaker 4: is pretty accurate. I think when you talk about just 936 00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:05,479 Speaker 4: this Finals as a whole, as a whole, as this brand, 937 00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:09,279 Speaker 4: you're talking about Dallas being the story going into this 938 00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:12,800 Speaker 4: into this final. I think the reason they are the 939 00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:16,200 Speaker 4: story in this final is because of the tie with 940 00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:18,759 Speaker 4: the Celtics stuff. So I think there is a combination 941 00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:22,400 Speaker 4: of both of those being true. I think Dallas is 942 00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:24,800 Speaker 4: the story with what they can do with the dynamic. 943 00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:26,880 Speaker 2: Duo going in Luca's first Chance. 944 00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:30,480 Speaker 4: But I think the biggest story with this game is 945 00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:35,160 Speaker 4: you know, Kyrie going back to Boston, which the Boston 946 00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:37,879 Speaker 4: tie is still there, and then you have the young 947 00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:41,480 Speaker 4: Guns and you know Tatum and Brown trying to kind 948 00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:44,560 Speaker 4: of elevate the brand back into that light that we've 949 00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:47,880 Speaker 4: talked about before, which you just elekally very eloquently to 950 00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:50,200 Speaker 4: state it. I think, so I think the tie is 951 00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:51,320 Speaker 4: still there with Boston. 952 00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:52,480 Speaker 2: I think with. 953 00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:55,759 Speaker 4: The brand of the NBA and how that goes, I 954 00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:58,560 Speaker 4: just think it's we live, we don't live in the 955 00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:02,960 Speaker 4: revisionary laying when it comes to talk about the Celtics, 956 00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:05,840 Speaker 4: talk about the Lakers of the eighties and and how 957 00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:09,680 Speaker 4: you know beautiful that story was and how Magic and 958 00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:12,200 Speaker 4: Larry and those guys competed at an all time level 959 00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:15,480 Speaker 4: where that story even you take that story back even 960 00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:18,600 Speaker 4: and stuff further, just them too as being able to 961 00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:21,879 Speaker 4: evolve the brand of the NBA as a whole, those 962 00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:23,920 Speaker 4: two coming out of college playing each other in the finals, 963 00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:26,080 Speaker 4: So having that history there and you take that to 964 00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:28,680 Speaker 4: the next level where those two are competing with two 965 00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:31,600 Speaker 4: of the most story franchises and franchises, and obviously it 966 00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:33,920 Speaker 4: raises it up to a different level. But when you 967 00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:37,200 Speaker 4: talk about like current brands, and I do think you 968 00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:39,239 Speaker 4: do have to say Golden State is up there now 969 00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:43,319 Speaker 4: and has surpassed Boston in that in that conversation, but 970 00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:46,080 Speaker 4: now Boston being back there and having a chance to 971 00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:48,720 Speaker 4: win it again. It just kind of makes this story 972 00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:52,160 Speaker 4: come in this roundabout way where it can be Boston 973 00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:53,359 Speaker 4: again at the top of that change. 974 00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:55,320 Speaker 2: So you think that there are ties, and there are ties. 975 00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:57,879 Speaker 3: I just don't think that the country cares necessarily that 976 00:46:57,960 --> 00:46:59,320 Speaker 3: Kyrie is going back to Boston. 977 00:46:59,480 --> 00:46:59,680 Speaker 12: You know. 978 00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:02,759 Speaker 3: No, I think that Boston cares that Kyrie's going back 979 00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:06,680 Speaker 3: to Boston. And I think that that, you know, in 980 00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:09,480 Speaker 3: a porzingis angle, I don't think carries the weighty. The 981 00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:12,120 Speaker 3: Mavericks are the Mavericks because of Luca and that is 982 00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:14,239 Speaker 3: the draw in the NBA Finals and having a star 983 00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:18,240 Speaker 3: player and it it's not meant to be an indictment, 984 00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:20,640 Speaker 3: but it does tell you that Jason Tatum and Jaylen 985 00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:25,160 Speaker 3: Brown are not up to that level, and especially when 986 00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:27,960 Speaker 3: you compare it to Celtic greats. And I don't even 987 00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:30,680 Speaker 3: want to use the success of the Celtics in this 988 00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:37,080 Speaker 3: scenario to pinpoint it. When you take a bad Lakers team, 989 00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:40,000 Speaker 3: the Lakers were still the story. So the Lakers have 990 00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:43,279 Speaker 3: been the story. You can rattle off crappy players of 991 00:47:43,320 --> 00:47:46,120 Speaker 3: the Lakers, but there was still a story because you're like, 992 00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:47,759 Speaker 3: how is this team going to get back when are 993 00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:50,520 Speaker 3: they going to bring in the stars. When's the glitz 994 00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:53,799 Speaker 3: and glam, you know, going to be back? And yeah, 995 00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:57,200 Speaker 3: it may be cosmetic, but that's what branding is, and 996 00:47:57,280 --> 00:48:00,279 Speaker 3: that's what the Lakers are. There are some there, some 997 00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:05,240 Speaker 3: bad Celtics teams that made no waves whatsoever. At least 998 00:48:05,239 --> 00:48:08,200 Speaker 3: when you reminisce the Lakers passed, you can laugh and 999 00:48:08,239 --> 00:48:12,040 Speaker 3: look back and say the Lonzo Ball days, Yeah, smush Parker, 1000 00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:16,000 Speaker 3: those those names, the Nick van Exel years, like those, 1001 00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:19,400 Speaker 3: in no disrespect to Nick van Xel had a solid 1002 00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:24,080 Speaker 3: NBA career, but it pales in comparison to obviously the 1003 00:48:24,120 --> 00:48:26,960 Speaker 3: Shaq Kobe Lakers and the Magic Johnson Lakers. But those 1004 00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:29,480 Speaker 3: teams are still Lakers teams that we're talking about. When 1005 00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:31,480 Speaker 3: the Lakers weren't good, they still had Kobe Bryant. They 1006 00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:35,000 Speaker 3: were still a story, you know, in his later years 1007 00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:39,040 Speaker 3: playing Boston. Like I remember going to a Celtics Bucks 1008 00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:41,959 Speaker 3: game and I don't know, maybe ninety four ninety five, 1009 00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:44,719 Speaker 3: and like Dino Rajah was the best player that I'm 1010 00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:46,040 Speaker 3: watching on the Boston. 1011 00:48:45,719 --> 00:48:46,400 Speaker 2: Celtics, you know. 1012 00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:48,319 Speaker 3: Like, so you want to talk about fall off and 1013 00:48:48,320 --> 00:48:50,560 Speaker 3: then you look about at the what they've got in 1014 00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:54,360 Speaker 3: terms of championships again, one since nineteen eighty six. 1015 00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:57,239 Speaker 2: One that's it in two thousand and eight. 1016 00:48:57,440 --> 00:48:59,799 Speaker 3: Yeah, and so while I may not believe that the 1017 00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:04,200 Speaker 3: championship is that legit, there was two thousand, two thousand 1018 00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:06,400 Speaker 3: and one, two thousand and two, there was two thousand 1019 00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:08,680 Speaker 3: and nine, then there was twenty ten. So you know, 1020 00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:12,839 Speaker 3: so with all of that, it just the Warriors may 1021 00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:15,480 Speaker 3: fall off when Steve Kurr and Steph Curry end up 1022 00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:17,080 Speaker 3: moving on, they're not going to do the same. Maybe 1023 00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:18,960 Speaker 3: like the Bulls. We'll have to see right right, right, 1024 00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:22,040 Speaker 3: But the Lakers are always a part of that conversation, 1025 00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:24,759 Speaker 3: and I just don't think that the Celtics are. And 1026 00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:27,160 Speaker 3: for a league that I think so for so long 1027 00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:29,480 Speaker 3: was held up by the Lakers and the Celtics, and 1028 00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:33,200 Speaker 3: when you look at their history, seventeen championships, the big rivalries, 1029 00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:35,719 Speaker 3: I just feel that the Lakers have carried more weight 1030 00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:38,040 Speaker 3: in being that brand of the NBA that it's not 1031 00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:40,120 Speaker 3: a two it's not a two horse race, it's a 1032 00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:41,759 Speaker 3: one horse race with the Lakers leading it. 1033 00:49:41,880 --> 00:49:43,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I hear what you're saying with the 1034 00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:46,680 Speaker 4: brand part of it, and It's funny because obviously Boston 1035 00:49:46,719 --> 00:49:49,640 Speaker 4: is one more Steell in this in this time right now, 1036 00:49:49,640 --> 00:49:52,960 Speaker 4: in this timeframe obviously because of being to the conference 1037 00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:55,400 Speaker 4: finals and being in the mix, I think there's one games, 1038 00:49:55,680 --> 00:49:59,359 Speaker 4: not championships. But yeah, it's exactly so we're talking about 1039 00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:02,560 Speaker 4: the brands. I think I think the conversation is what 1040 00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:05,040 Speaker 4: does the brand mean? It's the brand just about the 1041 00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:08,920 Speaker 4: talk aesthetic like you just said, or is it winning 1042 00:50:09,080 --> 00:50:11,360 Speaker 4: and being in the conversation every year for being the 1043 00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:14,320 Speaker 4: best team, Because that's two different conversations, obviously, and I 1044 00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:17,680 Speaker 4: think that's where I'm getting a little, I guess a 1045 00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:22,920 Speaker 4: little having a little subjectivity as far as the Lakers 1046 00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:25,239 Speaker 4: being the brand, because if it wasn't it wasn't for 1047 00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:27,640 Speaker 4: Lebron right now, they wouldn't even be in discussion either. 1048 00:50:27,680 --> 00:50:31,320 Speaker 4: And so I think it falls on being the brand 1049 00:50:31,360 --> 00:50:33,160 Speaker 4: of Lebron and not the brand of the Lakers, And 1050 00:50:33,200 --> 00:50:35,120 Speaker 4: so I would differentiate the two between that. 1051 00:50:35,719 --> 00:50:38,000 Speaker 2: I did extend an offer to one. 1052 00:50:38,239 --> 00:50:43,680 Speaker 3: Steve Hartman and Monte Milanos yesterday had carried on this discussion. 1053 00:50:44,200 --> 00:50:46,839 Speaker 3: Steve has declined. Monte adrenas in just a little bit, 1054 00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:49,640 Speaker 3: Steve bo Benton may be biased as a Lakers fan, 1055 00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:53,160 Speaker 3: Where do you stand on this topic conversation that we've 1056 00:50:53,160 --> 00:50:55,160 Speaker 3: had over the last twenty four hours here on Fox. 1057 00:50:55,320 --> 00:50:57,960 Speaker 6: The Los Angeles Lakers, as bad as they may be 1058 00:50:58,120 --> 00:51:02,080 Speaker 6: and have been overall in the past what twelve years 1059 00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:04,799 Speaker 6: or whatever, they at least have the decency to win 1060 00:51:04,880 --> 00:51:09,239 Speaker 6: a title every decade. And like I have their record here, 1061 00:51:09,239 --> 00:51:11,640 Speaker 6: they won the finals in twenty ten over the Boston Celtics. 1062 00:51:12,520 --> 00:51:15,839 Speaker 6: Then their low point was a seventeen and sixty five 1063 00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:20,600 Speaker 6: season in twenty five, twenty fifteen, twenty sixteen, and then 1064 00:51:20,640 --> 00:51:23,640 Speaker 6: in twenty twenty they won the NBA Finals. So like 1065 00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:27,000 Speaker 6: in all that golf, they still won another finals before 1066 00:51:27,040 --> 00:51:31,120 Speaker 6: the Boston Celtics did, and I think before the Celtics 1067 00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:32,240 Speaker 6: even got back to the finals. 1068 00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:35,600 Speaker 4: So is there anything bo with the you know, sustaining 1069 00:51:35,719 --> 00:51:36,560 Speaker 4: of excellence? 1070 00:51:36,560 --> 00:51:37,960 Speaker 2: Does that matter to you at all? 1071 00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:41,600 Speaker 6: I mean, it'd be ideal, but like winning is the 1072 00:51:41,640 --> 00:51:44,359 Speaker 6: name of the game. What ticks me off a little 1073 00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:49,320 Speaker 6: bit is if the Lakers had the regular season success 1074 00:51:49,320 --> 00:51:51,320 Speaker 6: that the Celtics have had over the last few years, 1075 00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:54,720 Speaker 6: but didn't win a championship the way the Celtics haven't. Yeah, 1076 00:51:54,760 --> 00:51:56,960 Speaker 6: you'd never hear the end of it, because the expectation 1077 00:51:57,040 --> 00:51:58,880 Speaker 6: for the Lakers are different, and I don't want to 1078 00:51:58,920 --> 00:52:00,719 Speaker 6: hear about the Celtics in the same tier as the 1079 00:52:00,760 --> 00:52:03,440 Speaker 6: Lakers if they're not getting the same expectations and the 1080 00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:06,680 Speaker 6: same criticism for not finishing what they're supposed to do. 1081 00:52:07,760 --> 00:52:09,759 Speaker 7: They do get a lot of that criticism, though I 1082 00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:14,040 Speaker 7: think this isn't a cowboys situation. I just I feel like, 1083 00:52:14,120 --> 00:52:16,480 Speaker 7: at least for the NBA, there is we were allowed 1084 00:52:16,480 --> 00:52:19,239 Speaker 7: to have a duopoly of two teams that are the 1085 00:52:19,239 --> 00:52:21,920 Speaker 7: top ones here. This isn't are the Lakers bigger than 1086 00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:23,560 Speaker 7: the Celtics or the Celtics bigger Lakers. 1087 00:52:23,600 --> 00:52:25,239 Speaker 1: They're like when I had. 1088 00:52:26,680 --> 00:52:30,160 Speaker 3: Than the Celtics would as a kid, was the NBA 1089 00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:30,880 Speaker 3: first Lakers. 1090 00:52:31,520 --> 00:52:31,839 Speaker 2: It was. 1091 00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:35,520 Speaker 7: It was Lakers versus Celtics. It's always been Lakers versus Celtics. 1092 00:52:35,560 --> 00:52:36,239 Speaker 7: I would always been. 1093 00:52:36,920 --> 00:52:39,000 Speaker 6: I would like to see criticism of the Boston Celtics 1094 00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:40,480 Speaker 6: for not winning the title, because I don't see it. 1095 00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:42,480 Speaker 4: No, no, no, there is criticism of them not win 1096 00:52:42,560 --> 00:52:44,839 Speaker 4: the title. I mean that's what not these two are 1097 00:52:44,880 --> 00:52:47,319 Speaker 4: being you know, I did I disagree, I don't. 1098 00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:49,680 Speaker 6: I don't see any not to the degree that the 1099 00:52:49,680 --> 00:52:52,040 Speaker 6: Los Angeles Lakers get criticism for anything. 1100 00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:55,080 Speaker 4: They're like not even given Dayalen Brown third Team All 1101 00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:57,600 Speaker 4: All NBA because of them not being able to win. 1102 00:52:57,560 --> 00:53:01,320 Speaker 3: Danny and now Brad Stevens. And they've done great jobs 1103 00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:05,000 Speaker 3: and keeping their teams competitive and putting teams together, but 1104 00:53:05,080 --> 00:53:09,600 Speaker 3: they have lived, specifically Danny Ainge, She's just lived off 1105 00:53:09,640 --> 00:53:12,719 Speaker 3: of the two thousand and eight championship almost as much 1106 00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:13,680 Speaker 3: as Doc Rivers has. 1107 00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:15,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, in terms. 1108 00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:17,480 Speaker 3: Of of for what they've done in the moves they've made, 1109 00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:19,200 Speaker 3: and by the way, they've made great moves to the 1110 00:53:19,239 --> 00:53:20,960 Speaker 3: point where we're like, why is anybody doing a deal 1111 00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:23,360 Speaker 3: with Danny Ainge? Like that was a thing in the NBA, 1112 00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:25,600 Speaker 3: but you weren't getting rings and titles with them. 1113 00:53:25,760 --> 00:53:29,600 Speaker 6: Can you guys imagine what the radio and TV would 1114 00:53:29,640 --> 00:53:32,680 Speaker 6: look like and sound like if the Los Angeles Lakers 1115 00:53:32,680 --> 00:53:35,480 Speaker 6: with Lebron James and Anthony Davis had lost to the 1116 00:53:35,520 --> 00:53:40,279 Speaker 6: eight seed. Ever, like the Boston Celtics have recently, Like 1117 00:53:40,520 --> 00:53:44,480 Speaker 6: losing to that Miami Heat team is geez. 1118 00:53:44,080 --> 00:53:45,920 Speaker 2: Sure, yeah, yeah, and I get that. 1119 00:53:45,640 --> 00:53:48,080 Speaker 3: And there with you know, Celtics fans, O Connor will 1120 00:53:48,080 --> 00:53:49,520 Speaker 3: be like, well we are you know, we're not bad 1121 00:53:49,600 --> 00:53:51,560 Speaker 3: enough to be a seventh seed, or you know we're 1122 00:53:51,600 --> 00:53:53,160 Speaker 3: the one seed. That's why we can lose to an 1123 00:53:53,160 --> 00:53:55,720 Speaker 3: eight seed. But it's even at the lowest of low's. 1124 00:53:55,719 --> 00:53:58,080 Speaker 3: I still think that the Lakers are a conversation. When 1125 00:53:58,120 --> 00:54:00,000 Speaker 3: the Celtics are at the lowest of lows, they disappear. 1126 00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:04,000 Speaker 3: Here Now, Manzi Milonios, who was side by side again 1127 00:54:04,080 --> 00:54:09,400 Speaker 3: Steve Hartman, has declined an invitation to join us because 1128 00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:12,600 Speaker 3: apparently it took over part of your show yesterday.

It's hot. 1135 00:54:31,400 --> 00:54:32,680 Speaker 14: You can hear me on your mic. 1136 00:54:35,320 --> 00:54:37,680 Speaker 2: We knew we'd get him in, but Manzi has the floor. 1137 00:54:37,760 --> 00:54:39,600 Speaker 3: Did you do you think that the Lakers are the 1138 00:54:39,600 --> 00:54:42,160 Speaker 3: biggest brand and that the Celtics have fallen off? 1139 00:54:42,200 --> 00:54:44,160 Speaker 1: That's my argument. 1140 00:54:44,239 --> 00:54:47,520 Speaker 13: I didn't even think it was anything really to discuss until. 1141 00:54:47,280 --> 00:54:50,799 Speaker 2: That man brought her. She's new school, that's yeah, Twitter, And. 1142 00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:53,160 Speaker 13: I think also Steve kind of like was taking it 1143 00:54:53,200 --> 00:54:55,560 Speaker 13: a little differently than the way you were trying to 1144 00:54:55,560 --> 00:54:57,319 Speaker 13: explain it, And I was like, I don't. I think 1145 00:54:57,560 --> 00:55:00,000 Speaker 13: Dana is saying, like, in big picture, it's the brand, 1146 00:55:00,239 --> 00:55:04,280 Speaker 13: like the Lakers name is still thriving, it's still great 1147 00:55:04,360 --> 00:55:08,120 Speaker 13: despite the not great success they've had in recent years. 1148 00:55:08,120 --> 00:55:11,359 Speaker 2: Steve Hartman, you will be able to tell Steve's got 1149 00:55:11,440 --> 00:55:13,480 Speaker 2: something up his sleeping. 1150 00:55:12,800 --> 00:55:16,120 Speaker 3: Something that is exactly he's looking for. That is exactly, 1151 00:55:18,480 --> 00:55:21,279 Speaker 3: that is exactly. The point that was that was made. 1152 00:55:21,520 --> 00:55:24,440 Speaker 3: Was the point that the point that Manci was making 1153 00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:26,719 Speaker 3: Steve that you didn't hear because we were in a 1154 00:55:26,719 --> 00:55:30,440 Speaker 3: different studio, was that I was talking about the brand. Uh, 1155 00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:33,880 Speaker 3: maybe not the greatness, but the actual brand. Just like 1156 00:55:33,920 --> 00:55:36,160 Speaker 3: the Dallas Cowboys are the top brand of the National 1157 00:55:36,200 --> 00:55:39,279 Speaker 3: Football League, that the Los Angeles Lakers are the top 1158 00:55:39,320 --> 00:55:40,080 Speaker 3: brand in the NBA. 1159 00:55:40,200 --> 00:55:42,880 Speaker 14: All Right, They're a brand because of Lebron James. 1160 00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:46,759 Speaker 9: It's like people saying, you know, it was I was 1161 00:55:46,760 --> 00:55:49,600 Speaker 9: at that fever game. Like in LA recently, there are 1162 00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:52,520 Speaker 9: a lot of fever fans here. There are no fever 1163 00:55:52,719 --> 00:55:56,839 Speaker 9: fans or Caitlin Clark fans are no fever fans, the 1164 00:55:56,960 --> 00:56:02,160 Speaker 9: Lakers without Lebron's say yeah, have no relevance. It's a 1165 00:56:02,200 --> 00:56:04,840 Speaker 9: franchise over the last eleven years that has missed the 1166 00:56:04,840 --> 00:56:09,680 Speaker 9: playoffs completely seven times, two first round exits, a blowout 1167 00:56:09,880 --> 00:56:13,000 Speaker 9: four games sweep in a Western Conference finals, and an 1168 00:56:13,080 --> 00:56:16,080 Speaker 9: NBA championship in a bubble that no one saw look 1169 00:56:16,120 --> 00:56:18,000 Speaker 9: at the ratings, is right in the middle of the 1170 00:56:18,120 --> 00:56:21,920 Speaker 9: NDVFL season. So they But I mean, we say this 1171 00:56:22,040 --> 00:56:25,719 Speaker 9: about the Dallas Cowboys, a team that hasn't been to 1172 00:56:25,800 --> 00:56:29,839 Speaker 9: a conference championship game since the mid nineties, right, and 1173 00:56:29,880 --> 00:56:32,800 Speaker 9: still they're in the conversation. They're in the conversation because 1174 00:56:32,840 --> 00:56:36,160 Speaker 9: of Jerry Jones. The Lakers are always in the conversation 1175 00:56:36,320 --> 00:56:39,600 Speaker 9: because of Jerry Bust. The Celtics were in the conversation 1176 00:56:39,719 --> 00:56:43,320 Speaker 9: because of Red Auerbach, the Yankees in the conversation because 1177 00:56:43,360 --> 00:56:49,840 Speaker 9: of George Steinbrenner. And so when those icons are gone, 1178 00:56:51,200 --> 00:56:53,759 Speaker 9: you're no longer relevant. The reason we still talk about 1179 00:56:53,800 --> 00:56:57,239 Speaker 9: the Cowboys is Jerry Jones is the reason that we 1180 00:56:57,360 --> 00:56:57,880 Speaker 9: talk about it. 1181 00:56:58,000 --> 00:56:59,880 Speaker 2: Dallas Yankees, they're no longer relevant. 1182 00:57:00,280 --> 00:57:03,080 Speaker 14: How are they relevant? Arson Judge? They haven't won a 1183 00:57:03,120 --> 00:57:06,680 Speaker 14: World Series since oh nine? No, they don't have the 1184 00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:08,920 Speaker 14: same buzz. There's no buzz. 1185 00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:12,000 Speaker 3: There's no buzz about baseball, like there's there's no buzz 1186 00:57:12,040 --> 00:57:12,760 Speaker 3: about baseball. 1187 00:57:12,840 --> 00:57:14,800 Speaker 14: I know there's buzz about Shohey Otani. 1188 00:57:15,320 --> 00:57:17,040 Speaker 2: Oh that's buzz about Judge this year too, though in 1189 00:57:17,040 --> 00:57:17,440 Speaker 2: that in. 1190 00:57:17,360 --> 00:57:20,760 Speaker 9: That case, the bottom line is is that for the 1191 00:57:21,120 --> 00:57:25,920 Speaker 9: for the Lakers in the post Jerry buss era has 1192 00:57:25,920 --> 00:57:29,760 Speaker 9: been a catastrophe by any measurement, especially if you're a 1193 00:57:29,840 --> 00:57:32,800 Speaker 9: Lakers fan. They had only missed the playoffs five times 1194 00:57:32,880 --> 00:57:37,560 Speaker 9: ever until he died, and now they missed the playoffs 1195 00:57:37,600 --> 00:57:38,440 Speaker 9: seven times. 1196 00:57:38,480 --> 00:57:40,680 Speaker 2: Since I'm not coming in here improving my point. 1197 00:57:40,720 --> 00:57:43,600 Speaker 3: But that's why we're still talking about the Lakers like that, 1198 00:57:43,960 --> 00:57:47,480 Speaker 3: we still talk about them. Nobody knows who Wick Grousbeck 1199 00:57:47,600 --> 00:57:48,840 Speaker 3: is outside of New England. 1200 00:57:48,920 --> 00:57:51,120 Speaker 2: Nobody has any idea. Look, they don't. 1201 00:57:51,360 --> 00:57:55,160 Speaker 9: I am a lifelong Laker fan and Celtic cater. This 1202 00:57:55,240 --> 00:57:58,360 Speaker 9: goes back to the nineteen sixty nine NBA Finals when 1203 00:57:58,360 --> 00:58:00,600 Speaker 9: I was in fifth grade and I couldn't believe the 1204 00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:03,800 Speaker 9: Lakers lost that series. With wil Chamberlain and Bill Russell's 1205 00:58:03,800 --> 00:58:09,280 Speaker 9: final season, but the idea that the Lakers are more 1206 00:58:09,360 --> 00:58:12,280 Speaker 9: significant than the Boston Celtics in the moment. 1207 00:58:12,480 --> 00:58:14,080 Speaker 2: That's why I'm with you. I'm with you on that one. 1208 00:58:14,720 --> 00:58:16,680 Speaker 14: How how are they more significant? 1209 00:58:17,120 --> 00:58:20,880 Speaker 9: Only the only argument is, well, they have Lebron James 1210 00:58:21,040 --> 00:58:24,920 Speaker 9: and we got Rich Paul orchestrating the obvious signing of 1211 00:58:25,040 --> 00:58:26,000 Speaker 9: Browny James. 1212 00:58:26,280 --> 00:58:27,960 Speaker 1: This is this is garbage. 1213 00:58:28,200 --> 00:58:32,480 Speaker 2: I mean, it's on star power, just like Hollywood. 1214 00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:34,320 Speaker 14: Is I like that? Like this? 1215 00:58:34,560 --> 00:58:38,200 Speaker 9: The Chiefs are relevant because they're winning championships. That's kind 1216 00:58:38,240 --> 00:58:39,560 Speaker 9: of relevance I'm looking for. 1217 00:58:39,720 --> 00:58:42,919 Speaker 3: I mean Patrick Mahomes, Yeah, he's star player as well. 1218 00:58:43,600 --> 00:58:46,640 Speaker 9: So right, and you think anyone would care what Harrison 1219 00:58:46,680 --> 00:58:49,720 Speaker 9: Bucker is saying if he wasn't the Chiefs kicker, if 1220 00:58:49,720 --> 00:58:52,200 Speaker 9: he had been the Jacksonville kicker, would that have gotten 1221 00:58:52,200 --> 00:58:53,160 Speaker 9: any mileage at all? 1222 00:58:53,160 --> 00:58:54,240 Speaker 1: Of course not so. 1223 00:58:54,480 --> 00:58:57,400 Speaker 9: When you win championships, when you become a dominant force, 1224 00:58:57,440 --> 00:59:00,280 Speaker 9: you are in the conversation. Right now, the number one 1225 00:59:00,480 --> 00:59:04,520 Speaker 9: brand in the NBA is the Golden State Warriors. 1226 00:59:04,600 --> 00:59:06,440 Speaker 14: I had to look this up yesterday. 1227 00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:09,120 Speaker 9: And yes, the Lakers were number two, But in my 1228 00:59:09,360 --> 00:59:14,200 Speaker 9: mind they have no significance unless they're actual true contenders 1229 00:59:14,200 --> 00:59:14,800 Speaker 9: to win a chance. 1230 00:59:14,880 --> 00:59:17,160 Speaker 3: On that Bleacher Report article, how many slideshows did you 1231 00:59:17,160 --> 00:59:19,640 Speaker 3: have to get to when you finally got to the Celtics, because. 1232 00:59:19,400 --> 00:59:23,640 Speaker 2: It was like click next, next, next, next Again. 1233 00:59:23,920 --> 00:59:28,200 Speaker 9: I'm not arguing that the Celtics have no significance. 1234 00:59:28,600 --> 00:59:30,680 Speaker 14: I'm arguing with your point, Dan, that. 1235 00:59:30,760 --> 00:59:34,240 Speaker 9: Somehow the Lakers like still control the narrative in the 1236 00:59:34,360 --> 00:59:36,360 Speaker 9: NBA because. 1237 00:59:36,080 --> 00:59:37,960 Speaker 2: We don't talking about who they're going to hire. 1238 00:59:38,920 --> 00:59:40,960 Speaker 14: I'm not talking about him until. 1239 00:59:42,720 --> 00:59:43,040 Speaker 8: Today. 1240 00:59:43,520 --> 00:59:45,560 Speaker 2: They didn't turn out my mind fight one times. 1241 00:59:45,320 --> 00:59:47,880 Speaker 9: And they are like, all right, and they hired JJ Reddick. 1242 00:59:47,960 --> 00:59:50,520 Speaker 9: Is that because he's committed to call the NBA finals? 1243 00:59:50,600 --> 00:59:52,440 Speaker 9: Is that what they're holding off on so he can 1244 00:59:52,480 --> 00:59:53,640 Speaker 9: do the rest of the finals. 1245 00:59:53,720 --> 00:59:58,560 Speaker 3: So yeah, good talks Steve in today. 1246 00:59:58,600 --> 01:00:00,120 Speaker 2: Is he going to be joining us as well? 1247 01:00:00,360 --> 01:00:03,120 Speaker 9: Richie's always just keep this distance, all right, Steve came 1248 01:00:03,160 --> 01:00:03,520 Speaker 9: in hot. 1249 01:00:03,600 --> 01:00:05,760 Speaker 2: You asked for it too, So see did I did? 1250 01:00:05,800 --> 01:00:07,400 Speaker 2: I thought it was I thought it was only fair. 1251 01:00:07,440 --> 01:00:09,240 Speaker 2: I saw a tweet about it yesterday night.

Because they know 1392 01:06:29,240 --> 01:06:31,040 Speaker 2: they moved from the Bugs. 1393 01:06:31,280 --> 01:06:34,800 Speaker 6: Kareem, Yeah, yeah, I would Vancouver's got to be one 1394 01:06:34,800 --> 01:06:38,320 Speaker 6: of them.
