00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:04,800

00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:06,840

00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 2: got into it with my buddy Bimani. He seems like

42
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:22,560

Speaker 2: not gonna really post my until I get verified, and

60
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 2: Diora said.

61
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 4: Wow, it took him a week.

62
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 2: You're not going to get verified until you have this

63
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 2: many videos and do this. And I was like, eh,

64
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 2: I don't think so. She's like, I know how TikTok

65
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 2: works since I was making and then you know within

66
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 2: a few months that all happened all right. By the way,

67
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 2: speaking of important anniversaries, today is the seven year anniversary

68
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 2: of Kobe Bryant's final game in the NBA. We're going

69
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 2: to get to the actual show in just a moment,

70
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 2: But I didn't realize that game was today until I

71
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 2: was scrolling Twitter and I saw the highlights from it.

72
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 2: And when you go back and look at what Kobe

73
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 2: did in that game, it is actually, I think underrated

74
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 2: how crazy that was. He was having a really good game,

75
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 2: but his team was. It was seventy five sixty six

76
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 2: Jazz at the end of three quarters and Kobe again

77
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 2: he had up to that point because he had I

78
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 2: think thirty seven points, so it was really impressive, but

79
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 2: it's like, Okay, they're gonna lose. He's gonna have somewhere

80
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 2: in the forties. And then Kobe Bryant, in his final

81
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 2: game ever, not only scored twenty three in the fourth

82
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 2: to finish with sixty, but the way the game ended,

83
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 2: it's ninety four eighty four Jazz with three minutes left,

84
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 2: and then Kobe gets a layup, Kobe gets two free throws,

85
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 2: Kobe gets a layup, Kobe hits a jumper, and they're

86
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:44,359
Speaker 2: down four with a minute left. Kobe hits a three,

87
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 2: hits a jumper, hit some free throws, and they he

88
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 2: gets sixty and they win. It was that was a

89
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 2: sports movie scene, and I remember it vividly. I had

90
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 2: just moved to Los Angeles. I was starting my job

91
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 2: with Fox that week, and it it was unbelievable what

92
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 2: we were seeing. It was also the night the Warriors

93
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 2: got their seventy third win how that season and four

94
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 2: with Lebron sending them home and Draymond crying. More on

95
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 2: that later, But it was seven years ago today, and

96
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 2: then a few years ago obviously we lost Kobe. But

97
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 2: what an unbelievable moment.

98
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 3: That does not feel like it was seven years ago.

99
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 2: All right, Diorra, let's get to the actual show, starting

100
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 2: with last night's playing.

101
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 4: Okay, the play in tournament is almost wrapped up. In

102
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,919
Speaker 4: the early game, you had the Bulls versus the Raptors,

103
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 4: headlining dir De Rozan's free throw defense.

104
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:46,359
Speaker 2: Okay, so so Dr, by the way, that's the first

105
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 2: person I've never met another Diora. This is the closest

106
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 2: I've come too. I've met I've met Diors, but I've

107
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 2: never heard Dr met Diors. Yeah, you've never met someone

108
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,280
Speaker 2: named Dior. Yeah, like the Christian Dior, like that type

109
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 2: of is the first name. But set that aside. If

110
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 2: you didn't watch Demarta Rosen's daughter screamed every time the

111
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 2: Raptors shot a free throw. Now we go to nets

112
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 2: games and there's that old man, the mister Whammy, who

113
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 2: does the tries to jinx the opposing team, and statistically

114
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,480
Speaker 2: it actually seems to have a tiny effect. This appeared

115
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 2: to have a massive effect. The Raptors missed eighteen free

116
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 2: throws of their thirty six, half of them. And so

117
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 2: now before we get to the other game, the more

118
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:37,919
Speaker 2: interesting game, this is where I'm gonna give the controversial opinion.

119
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 2: You guys can start the clock and throw the rundown

120
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 2: up there because we're going, We're off and running.

121
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:44,720
Speaker 3: Uh, this is.

122
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 2: Where I'm gonna give an unpopular take. The NBA's got

123
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 2: to step in. You can't let this happen again. What

124
00:06:55,800 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 2: do you mean you can't have little kids screen? Okay,

125
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 2: so here's the thing again. I said it's gonna be unpopular.

126
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 2: I'm going to use what's gonna sound like an odd analogy.

127
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,679
Speaker 2: The Philadelphia Eagles this year, en route to the Super Bowl,

128
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 2: kind of hacked the quarterback sneak. They put the the

129
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts their quarterback in the backfield. They then get

130
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 2: two guys behind him and they all push him in

131
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 2: a rugby scrum. The NFL had the opportunity to outlaw

132
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 2: that this offseason, they didn't. They're like, ah, the Eagles

133
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 2: are good at it. Other teams can catch up. Why outlaw.

134
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 2: Here's why you outlawed, Because if any team gets good

135
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 2: enough at that to where instead of getting two yards

136
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 2: every time, they get four yards every time, the sport

137
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 2: is ruined. You just run the most boring, aesthetically unpleasing

138
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 2: play imaginable a rugby scrum all the way down the field.

139
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 2: You obviously can't have that. That's obviously bad for business.

140
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 2: So the NFL, in my opinion, should jump in one

141
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 2: little girl at one playoff game, one time, screaming at

142
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 2: every free throw. No problem, but it worked. If all

143
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 2: of a sudden, now every NBA broadcast, every NBA game

144
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 2: you go to, whenever the opposing team is shooting free throws,

145
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 2: all the children in the crowd are screaming at the

146
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 2: top of their lungs, that ain't good for business.

147
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,679
Speaker 4: That's a sports game, though, a sports.

148
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 2: Game, I understand say, And.

149
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 4: That's what happens at sports games. Like you can't just

150
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 4: decide that like nah, the free speech is over, Like

151
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:49,440
Speaker 4: oh you can't know.

152
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 2: You can't. It's it is entertainment enterprise, and it's bad

153
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 2: for television.

154
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 4: It's bad for the paying entertaining for the people that

155
00:08:57,960 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 4: are at the game.

156
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 2: Here's the thing I don't think it would be. I

157
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 2: think it would be maddening.

158
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 4: So like at high school games, like I know, it's

159
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 4: like not even close to the same level. Yeah, but

160
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 4: everyone screams on free things.

161
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's maddening.

162
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 2: This is actually the example I'm using the high school

163
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 2: people that students that.

164
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 4: Are totally disgos.

165
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 2: Well, you know what I said, It was gonna be

166
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 2: an unpopular opinion. It is one of those unpopular opinions

167
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 2: I have that I know is right. Today, everyone is

168
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 2: going to be applauding Dearda Rosen, and they should. She

169
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 2: helped her dad. She's adorable. It was a great job

170
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 2: by her, I'm telling you. And I don't usually like

171
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 2: the slippery slope argument, but if this turns into a trend.

172
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 4: It already is a trend.

173
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,199
Speaker 2: But not again, I think you've got to like see

174
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 2: the actual video from the game. It's not regular yelling

175
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 2: or trying to distract the opponent. It is a shrill

176
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 2: childlike scream I'm gonna use another child example that I was.

177
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 2: It was an unpopular opinion involving children of NBA players,

178
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 2: and I did it eight years ago and I was

179
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 2: proven correct. So Steph Curry kind of started this trend.

180
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 2: I'm gonna bring my adorable children. At the time, it

181
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 2: was just child one kid, Riley to my press conferences.

182
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 2: Everyone loved it. Steph was the face of the league.

183
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 2: He was always winning. He had this amazing little girl

184
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,679
Speaker 2: sitting with him at press conferences. We all thought, or

185
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 2: everyone seemed to think, this is great. And I had

186
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 2: the brave, unpopular opinion, Yeah, you're at work, Probably not

187
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 2: the time to have your little kid at the podium, Nick,

188
00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 2: Why do you think that? Well, after you win a championship,

189
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 2: no problem. Even after you win a game and everyone's

190
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 2: applauding you, no problem. But I saw the train coming

191
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:13,679
Speaker 2: down the tracks of guys who team had just lost

192
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:18,079
Speaker 2: or were embroiled in a slight controversy or had played

193
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 2: poorly bringing their children to their press conferences and there

194
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:27,359
Speaker 2: being a chilling effect from the media on what questions

195
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 2: are can I ask the guy about the game exactly?

196
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 2: That's why they did it. Which is it was exactly

197
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 2: using this as a shield. It is not fine. I

198
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 2: can't now I actually did this as a gag once,

199
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 2: but I can't. Uh. Nick doesn't like kids anywhere. I like,

200
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 2: I love children, but I'm telling you I can't the

201
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 2: day after. Let's say the Warriors were to win the

202
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 2: title this year, and I look like a fool. I

203
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 2: can't show up at first things first with Deanna on

204
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 2: my lap, like, oh, guys, you can't make fun of me.

205
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:10,839
Speaker 3: My kids are here now.

206
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 2: When the Chiefs lost the Super Bowl, I actually did

207
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 2: start the TV show exactly like that as a gag,

208
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 2: like I called it pulling the Steph Curry. Uh. But

209
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 2: I'm just telling you, just guys, everyone right now is

210
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 2: gonna say this is a terrible opinion. Let's just wait

211
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 2: and see how the rest of these playoffs play out.

212
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:31,839
Speaker 2: And if all of a sudden you're watching a game,

213
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 2: you're like, god, dog it, they won't stop screaming.

214
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 3: Just remember who was first on it?

215
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,839
Speaker 2: All right, what's the other game that we the more

216
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 2: interestant game we have to talk about? Go ahead?

217
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 4: Okay, and Josh Gitty who I'm supposed to say, Timothy

218
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 4: shallow May but he looks nothing like to Timothy shallow.

219
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 2: See, I thought he did look like Timothy shallow May

220
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 2: but that's fine. But go ahead anyways, Josh Gitty nearly

221
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 2: a triple double was my life. Oh okay, I apologize.

222
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 2: I didn't know if you knew where we were in

223
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:02,560
Speaker 2: the script. Go ahead. I know what's your question.

224
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 4: Which of these teams has the best chance at making

225
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 4: the playoffs?

226
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 2: Oh? I think the Thunder. I think the Heater gonna

227
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 2: beat the Bulls. I like the Thunders team. I mean,

228
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 2: Shay was excellent, Shae's been all NBA caliber all year.

229
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 2: Giddy's a good player. Now the neither None of these

230
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 2: teams have a great chance in the eight versus one

231
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 2: against Milwaukee or Denver. But I do think Oklahoma City

232
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 2: could cause some problems for Denver that Minnesota couldn't. And

233
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 2: I gotta give Oklahoma City credit. Everyone killed Sam Presty

234
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 2: for tanking and all of it. Man, they made the

235
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 2: playoffs a few years ago with Chris Paul. They are now,

236
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,319
Speaker 2: I mean in the bubble. They made the playoffs. They

237
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 2: then had two two years in the wilderness, and now

238
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 2: they are a game away from being back in the playoffs.

239
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 2: They have all these future picks. They will have Chet,

240
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:10,959
Speaker 2: who I'm not a believer, but they will have Check

241
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 2: coming back. And Shay is a legit top twelve player

242
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 2: in the league now legit, and Giddy's really good.

243
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 3: So I like you look at their team. They actually, oddly.

244
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 2: Viewer, have two rookies named Jalen Williams. One is the

245
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 2: same exact name, The good Jalen Williams is really good. Well,

246
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 2: the other one's fine. But they have either It's like.

247
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 4: How I have Steph Curry and the baby Curry.

248
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, except those they're not except they have different names.

249
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 2: These two guys have the exact same name. They believe

250
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 2: the team name Stephan Seth. Yeah, but at least they

251
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 2: play for different teams. And but you're right, there's one

252
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 2: is awesome and the others just a fine player. But

253
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 2: the good Jalen Williams, Jalen Williams would know why is

254
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 2: gonna finish top three and Rookie of the Year. They

255
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 2: have Check coming back. I like lou Dort. I like

256
00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 2: what they're building in OKAC. I would like to to

257
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 2: see them beat the Timberwolves and see where they can

258
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 2: go from there.

259
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 4: All right, next, Okay, you, Lebron and the Lakers are

260
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 4: officially in the playoffs after an ugly win. The Lakers

261
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 4: are lucky Minnesota didn't have Gobert, and be honest, you

262
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 4: can't be confidence in your Lakers championship pick after that game.

263
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 2: All right.

264
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 3: So here's the thing that seems to be the general consensus.

265
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 2: Oh man, Lakers look shaky, Lakers got lucky.

266
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 3: Here's the counterpoint to that.

267
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 2: What we saw that even though he did wear down

268
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 2: significantly at the end, Lebron played forty five minutes at

269
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 2: age thirty eight, year twenty and was the best player

270
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:55,359
Speaker 2: on his team. Now, the final five minutes he looked exhausted,

271
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 2: but he's not gonna have to play forty five minutes

272
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 2: maybe one more time. I'm the entire postseason. So I

273
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 2: felt good about that. The Lakers' ability to get to

274
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 2: the free throw line, which they did at a better

275
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 2: rate than any team in the league all regular season,

276
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 2: that translated to a playoff atmosphere. Felt good about that.

277
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 2: The Lakers need oddly important guy for this playoff run

278
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 2: is Ruey Hachimura, because he's their only backup big that

279
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 2: I don't trust Winning Gabriel at all. Ruey hot chamurrow

280
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 2: is playing crunch time for them, Liked that ad was

281
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 2: super aggressive. Liked that so was it perfect? No, does

282
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 2: Darvin Haham's playoff rotations concern me a bit? Sure, But

283
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 2: now they get almost a week arrest, they get a

284
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 2: Memphis team that I think they match up incredibly well with.

285
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 2: For no other reason then because Steven Adams is out,

286
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 2: because Brandon Clark is out. Memphis has won great defensive

287
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 2: big Jaron Jackson Junior, but he fouls more per minute

288
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 2: than any player in the league. The Lakers draw fouls more,

289
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 2: so he will be in the same type of foul

290
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:07,919
Speaker 2: trouble Karl Anthony Towns is so I actually it was

291
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 2: not like an overwhelming twenty five point victory, but the

292
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:15,159
Speaker 2: fact that they came back from fifteen down. Lebron was

293
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 2: able to play forty five minutes and still again in overtime.

294
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 2: He was worn out, but at forty minutes he made

295
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 2: the three to tie the game with two minutes left,

296
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:29,160
Speaker 2: made the play that should have been to win the game,

297
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 2: hitting Shrewder in the corner.

298
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 3: I actually feel good about where they are.

299
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 2: Had they lost that game and had to play again

300
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 2: Friday and then start the playoffs Sunday in Denver. It's

301
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 2: a different story. Now. With all that said, I would

302
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 2: expect them to lose Sunday A. Memphis is totally rested,

303
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:51,639
Speaker 2: and Lebron treats game ones of playoff series is what

304
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 2: he calls feel out games. See what the events is

305
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:58,399
Speaker 2: going to try to do, not totally exert his himself. Now.

306
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 3: If they do win, however, on Sunday against.

307
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 2: The Grizzlies, the series is over. Here's an unbelievable stat

308
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 2: for you. Lebron James has played thirty nine no He's

309
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 2: won thirty nine series in his career. He's thirty nine

310
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 2: and eleven in playoff series. When they lose game one,

311
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,920
Speaker 2: he's twelve and nine. So he has a winning record

312
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 2: in the playoffs when losing game one. When his team

313
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 2: wins game one, they are twenty seven and two, almost unbeatable.

314
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 2: The two losses, by the way, are probably the two

315
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 2: worst series of Lebron's career. His final series with the

316
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:51,439
Speaker 2: Cavs the first time around against the Celtics where people

317
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 2: said Game five he quit, and the finals against the MAVs,

318
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 2: which was the worst series of his career where he

319
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:01,400
Speaker 2: seemed to have some type of mint short circuit. Those

320
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 2: are the only two series of his career where his

321
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 2: team won Game one and they didn't and they didn't

322
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 2: win the series. So Memphis has to win Game one.

323
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 2: I don't feel the Lakers have to to three point line.

324
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 2: Memphis probably should win that game. I like the Lakers

325
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:19,359
Speaker 2: chances in that series.

326
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:22,479
Speaker 4: All right, next, Okay, you asked us to remind you

327
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 4: to do a Lebron best case worst case debate today? Yeah,

328
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,639
Speaker 4: even though, like I'm sure you wouldn't have forgot to

329
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 4: talk about Lebron on this show. But now that the

330
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 4: goat has escaped, the play in what are his best

331
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 4: and worst case scenarios postseason?

332
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 2: Okay, so you're fine. So here's why I wanted to

333
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:49,879
Speaker 2: do it, because we are so illogical when it comes

334
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 2: to certain sports things, most notably when it comes a

335
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:59,359
Speaker 2: lot of it has to do with Lebron, but it

336
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 2: has to do with what we reward and what we penalize.

337
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 2: So does everyone agree rhetorical question that the best case

338
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 2: for Lebron is to win the championship? Of course, what

339
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 2: is the second best case? If you don't win the title?

340
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 2: What is the best thing you can do? Other than

341
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:30,159
Speaker 2: win the title. You're not a diehard sportsman. What do

342
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,640
Speaker 2: you think the answer would be? If you don't win

343
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 2: the championship, what's the next best thing you could do?

344
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:38,439
Speaker 2: Go ahead, just give it a guess. You don't even

345
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 2: want to give it against no problem, I mean, just

346
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,679
Speaker 2: go ahead. They don't want to do it.

347
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 3: Here's the thing, it's obvious.

348
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:52,880
Speaker 2: The answer is make it to the championship and then

349
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 2: fall short.

350
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:54,920
Speaker 3: That would be the second best.

351
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 2: The third best would be make it to the conference

352
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:01,919
Speaker 2: finals and fall short. Like, win as much as you

353
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 2: can is and win it at all is the best,

354
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 2: when the second most is second best, so and so forth.

355
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:11,959
Speaker 2: But that's not how we do the basketball discussion. The

356
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 2: basketball discussion that we constantly have when it comes to

357
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:19,120
Speaker 2: Lebron is losing record in the finals, four and six

358
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 2: in the finals, and for many people they believe somehow

359
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 2: it would be better if Lebron were four and zero

360
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 2: in the finals. Why well, Jordan was six and oh

361
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:40,359
Speaker 2: in the finals, and so because for some reason we

362
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 2: have changed the math on stuff that if you're not

363
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 2: going to win the championship, you are better off losing

364
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 2: early than losing late. You are better off being eliminated

365
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:59,400
Speaker 2: in round one or two or three, than winning those

366
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 2: rounds and then being eliminated in the finals. And that's

367
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 2: all in service of Michael Jordan. Michael Jordan played fifteen

368
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 2: seasons in the league. Six of those he won the championship,

369
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 2: two of those he lost in the conference finals. Two

370
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 2: of those he lost, I'm sorry, three of those he

371
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:30,159
Speaker 2: lost in round two, three of those he lost in

372
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 2: round one. Two of those he didn't even make the playoffs.

373
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 2: But folks somehow have convinced themselves that it was good

374
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 2: for Jordan to lose to the Pistons in the conference

375
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:50,199
Speaker 2: finals rather than beat the Pistons and then lose to

376
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 2: the Lakers in the NBA finals, that it was good

377
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:58,160
Speaker 2: for Jordan to lose to the Magic in round two

378
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 2: rather than beat the Magic and then lose to the

379
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 2: Rockets in the NBA Finals, which then means, you know

380
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:11,880
Speaker 2: what was bad for Lebron in two thousand and seven,

381
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:18,440
Speaker 2: scoring forty eight points and carrying the the Cavs, one

382
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:21,399
Speaker 2: of the worst teams ever make the championship past the

383
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 2: Detroit Pistons, because if he had lost that game, he

384
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 2: wouldn't be four and six in the finals. He'd be

385
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,159
Speaker 2: four and five in the finals, and you know what

386
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 2: was bad because they wouldn't have made the finals. You

387
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 2: know what was bad for Lebron when he scored eighty

388
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 2: points in consecutive games in twenty eighteen with no Kyrie

389
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,399
Speaker 2: with Kevin Love hurt, including a Game seven on the

390
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 2: road where he's played all forty eight minutes to come

391
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 2: back from three to two down against the Celtics. That

392
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 2: was bad for his legacy because if he had just

393
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 2: lost one of those games, he wouldn't have then played

394
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 2: the twenty eighteen Warriors in the NBA finals and he'd

395
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:03,919
Speaker 2: have won fewer finals. Law. So if you are a

396
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 2: four and six in the finals, Dufus, then you've got

397
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 2: to say it is better for Lebron to lose in

398
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 2: round one to the Grizzlies, then beat the Grizzlies, and

399
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:26,119
Speaker 2: then beat the Warriors of the Kings, and then beat

400
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 2: the Suns and then lose to Giannis in the finals

401
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 2: because they ain't be four and seven. It's idiotic on

402
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 2: its face, but people truly believe it. And the reason

403
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:45,360
Speaker 2: they believe it is because folks don't want to have

404
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:52,959
Speaker 2: this discussion career. Round one of the playoffs Lebron is

405
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 2: fourteen and one Michael Jordan career Round one. I'll give

406
00:24:58,080 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 2: it to you right now. I had it earlier, and

407
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 2: I I don't want to be wrong on this because

408
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 2: I'm so strident. Lebron fourteen to one in round one.

409
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 2: Jordan ten and three. Career Round two of the playoffs

410
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 2: Lebron eleven and three, Jordan eight and two career Conference

411
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:25,959
Speaker 2: finals record the round you gotta play to make the

412
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:33,200
Speaker 2: championship Lebron in Conference finals ten and one. It should

413
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 2: be noted the one conference finals he ever lost, he

414
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:39,360
Speaker 2: had a buzzer beater to win one of their games,

415
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 2: and he averaged for the series thirty eight points, nine rebounds,

416
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 2: nine assists, and they lost to Dwight Howard and the

417
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 2: Magic in twenty ten. But in the conference finals ten

418
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 2: and one, Jordan six and two, it would be real easy.

419
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 2: It would have been easier for Lebron to just we

420
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:03,440
Speaker 2: can go through it in seven, lose in the conference finals,

421
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 2: play worse and not make those finals and twenty eleven,

422
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 2: lose in the second round of Boston. In twenty fourteen,

423
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 2: lose in who would they have had to lose to

424
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 2: in twenty fourteen, lose to Toronto in the conference finals

425
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 2: in twenty sixteen, twenty fifteen, pardon me, lose to the

426
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 2: sixty win Hawks. In twenty eighteen, lose to the or

427
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:38,359
Speaker 2: twenty seventeen. Pardon me lose to the twenty seventeen would

428
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 2: have been sorry, I'm sure. Oh do you you just

429
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:44,119
Speaker 2: lost your earpiece? We'll get that in a second. Lose

430
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 2: to the Celtics in twenty eighteen, lose all those and

431
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 2: before and oh in the NBA Finals, lose. So the

432
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 2: reason I wanted to bring this up was if you

433
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 2: believe that FO and O in the finals would be

434
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:07,359
Speaker 2: better than four and six in the finals, A, I

435
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:12,920
Speaker 2: don't think you understand any basic elementary level logic test.

436
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 2: And B you've got to say to yourself, if let's

437
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 2: say the Lakers beat the Grizzlies and then winning Round two,

438
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:23,919
Speaker 2: and then they're playing they have a Game seven against

439
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:28,159
Speaker 2: Kevin Durant in the Western Commorgz Finals, and on the

440
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 2: other side of the bracket is the Milwaukee Bucks and

441
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:41,680
Speaker 2: Giannis looks unstoppable. That there is a scenario where what

442
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:45,439
Speaker 2: you are arguing is for Lebron's legacy, he would be

443
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 2: better off losing a game seven Western COMMERDG Finals than

444
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 2: winning it if that then prevents him from getting another

445
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 2: finals loss. A loss should never be rewarded more than

446
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:00,240
Speaker 2: a victory. You want to argue six and oh in

447
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 2: the finals is more impressive than four and six in

448
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:04,400
Speaker 2: the finals, or listen to it. It makes a lot

449
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 2: of sense. But you want to argue four and oh

450
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 2: in the finals would be better than four and six

451
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,119
Speaker 2: in the finals. You're a dope? All right, do you? Or?

452
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 2: What's our last topic?

453
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 4: Okay? The four or five matchup in the in the

454
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 4: West is juicy, even if Russ says him and Katie

455
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:25,439
Speaker 4: don't have beef. Both Kawhi and Katie once had a

456
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 4: claim as the best player in basketball.

457
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know the Kai either one of them

458
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 2: actually ever have had that claim. K closer than Kawi

459
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 2: guy was the best player for one playoff series, the

460
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 2: wy thing. I was proven correct on the kd thing.

461
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 2: Maybe he had a claim. I I disagree with it,

462
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 2: but go ahead.

463
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 4: Could either of them get back to the level that

464
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 4: level to that level by taking the other out?

465
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 2: No? You, neither one of them can become the best

466
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 2: player in basketball by winning this first round series, Kevin Durant,

467
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 2: I believe can the title of best player in basketball.

468
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 2: If round one, well, Lebron's not the best player anymore.

469
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 2: Lebron's best player ever. But right now the best player

470
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 2: in basketball is Jianna's the I mean, Lebron's in your

471
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 2: twenties older. He's still a top ten guy, but he's

472
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 2: not that. Giannis has been the best player in basketball

473
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 2: in my opinion, for the last four years, three years

474
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 2: at least. If Durant does this, beat Kawhi and the Clippers,

475
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 2: then beach Jokichen round two, then beats in round three

476
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 2: either Lebron's team or STEP's team, and then in the

477
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 2: NBA Finals beats Giannis, he can claim it. I think

478
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 2: it would have been two years without Giannis winning a title,

479
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 2: three years without Giannis winning an MVP. Durant played him

480
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 2: to a draw that series we went to against the

481
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 2: Nets a couple of years ago. You saw in person

482
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 2: the greatest game Kevin Durant's ever played in his life. Yeah,

483
00:29:56,840 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 2: Game five, twenty twenty one, Playoffs eight, seventeen and ten

484
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 2: out of this world. Uh. If he does that.

485
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 3: I think Durant can claim it. Brussard disagreed with me

486
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 3: on this.

487
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 2: He said it's gian and I think it's Giannis right

488
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 2: now without a doubt. But if Durant does all that,

489
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 2: after the season he's had of shooting fifty five percent

490
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 2: from the field from three to ninety percent from the line,

491
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 2: they haven't lost yet with the Suns. If he does that,

492
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 2: I can claim best player a lot. Okay, all right,

493
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 2: we talk best playoff storylines and we play a confidence game.

494

506
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 2: gonna keep doing this. I have not yet figured out

507
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 2: how to comb my own hair. It's really a disaster,

508
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 2: yea from having a shaved head my whole life. I

509
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 2: still know how to do my hair.

510
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 4: That hair for a few years now, I.

511
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 3: Know, and I've never learned. I haven't figured it out last.

512
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 2: You know, your mom kind of wants me to go

513
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 2: back to the shaved head.

514
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 4: I refuse to.

515
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 2: Anti Yeah, door, which kind of you know, transitive property.

516
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 2: What you're saying here is you think I look good

517
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 2: like this.

518
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 4: I think you look better like this, better better.

519
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 2: Like this than the shaved head.

520
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:54,959
Speaker 3: Well, it's a pain in the assid I don't love it.

521
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 2: Uh. By the way your questions and comments in the

Speaker 4: How many times you will say that it's.

525
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 2: Called a tease, it's it's it's to create sticky listening

526
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 2: and viewing habits, sticky Yeah, people stick around. Yeah, that's

527

529
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 2: people stick around through the show. Like right now, they

530
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 2: might be like, gosh, I'm gonna tune it out because

531
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 2: you won't stop sniffling in the microphone.

532
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 4: I'm really sorry. My allergies are so bad.

533
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 2: It's so frustrating, but I don't want to miss Nick's

534
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 2: big announcement, So like, that's why I'm doing it. We're

535
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 2: also playing a game in about three minutes, but before that,

536
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 2: we got some storylines to discuss.

537
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 3: Go ahead, do you wor Okay?

538
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 4: So there's been a lot of great storylines coming into

539
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 4: these playoffs. Besides Lebron YEP, you have Donovan Mitchell versus

540
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 4: the Knicks. You have John Marat Marant redemption arc and

541
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 4: Luca facing facing off against his couch.

542
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 3: Okay, that was unnecessary, but that's.

543
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:01,280
Speaker 4: The most tantalizing story in round one.

544
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 3: So for the playoffs as a whole, there's so many.

545
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 2: You know, Lebron chasing Ring five in year twenty, steph

546
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 2: chasing Ring five to pass lebron Ty, Kobe the Durant

547
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 2: getting his only non Warriors, ring Jokids trying to validate

548
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 2: his MVPs, and all the analytics hype, the John Muran

549
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 2: Redempson stuff you mentioned, that's those are big picture. In

550
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 2: the East, can embiid Who's never been to Round three,

551
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 2: but is going to win the MVP, make round four,

552
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 2: win a title. The Sixers franchise has only been to

553
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 2: one conference finals or NBA Finals since Doctor J was there.

554
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 2: Can Yannis win the title this year? Show? Last year

555
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 2: was about Middleton's injury and really solidify himself as one

556
00:33:56,520 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 2: of the twelve thirteen greatest players ever. The Celtics and

557
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:03,360
Speaker 2: they finally get over the hump. Those are the big

558
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 2: picture storylines round one. In the East, there really is

559
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 2: only one, and that is Donovan Mitchell could have signed

560
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:15,840
Speaker 2: with the Knicks. People thought he was gonna sign with

561
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 2: the Knicks or trade. The Knicks were gonna trade for him.

562
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 2: I should say they didn't want to give up R J.

563
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 2: Barrett and other stuff. He ends up signing with the Calves.

564
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:28,280
Speaker 2: The Calves end up a trading for him, and now

565
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:30,719
Speaker 2: you have the situation where the Calves are playing the

566
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 2: Knicks in round one. That's really the other The Eastern

567
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 2: Playoffs is gonna be unbelievable starting in round two Round one.

568
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:41,400
Speaker 2: That's the only series that to me's really interesting. Out West,

569
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 2: totally different story. Grizzlies Lakers storyline there, to be honest,

570
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:53,279
Speaker 2: involves my colleague Shannon Sharp, MI guy. Shannon almost got

571
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:55,799
Speaker 2: into it with the Grizzlies in a regular season game.

572
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:57,399
Speaker 3: Now he's gonna be court side.

573
00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 2: I would imagine wearing beautiful LOUISVI Tom sweaters and other things,

574
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 2: mixing it up with the Grizzlies. Dylan Brooks said he

575
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:10,839
Speaker 2: wants Lebron in Round one. John Moran said, we're good

576
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:13,400
Speaker 2: in the West, meaning like nobody in the West scares us.

577
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 2: That's an unbelievable storyline, Katie and Kawhi. The Clippers could

578
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:24,360
Speaker 2: have ducked the Suns, they in my opinion, idiotically opted

579
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:28,080
Speaker 2: into playing the Suns. Okay, good luck, But it also

580
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 2: means Russ against Kevin Durant, So that's a fun one.

581
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:38,040
Speaker 2: But the best storyline in Round one is the Sacramento

582
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 2: Kings and the Golden State Warriors, two franchises, both of

583
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:52,160
Speaker 2: which for thirty some years seemed to just be snake

584
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 2: bitten bad franchises. They both had moments the Kings with

585
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:05,279
Speaker 2: and C web and Bibby and got screwed. Yeah, a

586
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:08,400
Speaker 2: lot of devots Chris Webber and Mike Bibbie in the

587
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:12,800
Speaker 2: early two thousands going up against the Lakers getting screwed

588
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 2: by the refs in that game six. Page them airballs

589
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 2: the three in game seven, and they missed their moment.

590
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:23,720
Speaker 2: The Warriors, Baron Davis, we believe Warriors in eight beats

591
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:28,759
Speaker 2: a one, but that was it. They were not serious franchises.

592
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 2: And then the Warriors drafted Steph Curry turn into a

593
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:39,279
Speaker 2: dynasty and the Kings stay the Kings. And now the

594
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 2: Kings are in the playoffs for the first time in

595
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:46,320
Speaker 2: sixteen years. The Warriors are trying to make their sixth

596
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 2: finals in nine years, trying to win the title for

597
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:55,480
Speaker 2: the fifth time. I'm sorry, the Warriors are trying to

598
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 2: make their seventh finals in nine years and trying to

599
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 2: win the title for the fifth time. The Warriors are

600
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 2: the favorites, even though the Kings are the home team.

601
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 2: The Warriors are the favorites, even though they've been terrible

602
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 2: on the road all year. I think that is to me,

603
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:14,680
Speaker 2: the must watch series of Round one Warriors Kings. I've

604
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:17,240
Speaker 2: got the Kings and seven, I've got the home team

605
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:20,520
Speaker 2: winning every single game of that series.

606
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:23,720
Speaker 3: All right, next you we're playing the confidence game. Explain

607
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 3: it to the audience.

608
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:26,279
Speaker 4: So we have a new game for you and the

609
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 4: audience to play along with. It's called out Picknick. Yeah,

610
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:32,399
Speaker 4: you will rank the sixteen teams in order of how

611
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 4: confident you are in them. For every team they.

612
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:36,799
Speaker 2: Win, every game they win.

613
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:40,280
Speaker 4: Every game they win, they get that amount of points.

614
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:40,720
Speaker 2: Yeah.

615
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:44,880
Speaker 4: So every game your number sixteen wins, you get sixteen points.

616
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:48,239
Speaker 2: So the number sixteen is the team I'm most confident in.

617
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 2: Number one is the team I'm least confident in, and

618
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 2: we go from there. Correct. Yeah, all right, So we

619
00:37:55,640 --> 00:38:00,200
Speaker 2: are going to for the purpose of this just call

620
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:03,279
Speaker 2: because we don't yet know who the eight seeds are.

621
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:10,760
Speaker 2: So it's gonna it's thunder slash Timberwolves and Heat slash Bulls.

622
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:11,840
Speaker 2: But it won't.

623
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:14,839
Speaker 3: Change my opinion. We're gonna go least to greatest here.

624
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:20,719
Speaker 2: Okay. The team that I think is most likely to

625
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 2: win zero games in these playoffs is the Atlanta Hawks. Sorry, Atlanta.

626
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:31,400
Speaker 2: I think as a bad matchup for you against Boston.

627
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 2: I think Boston should sweep you. Maybe you get one game.

628
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 2: We are slating you in to the one spot. The

629
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:48,400
Speaker 2: number two team is whoever wins the Heat Bulls play

630
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 2: in game. We are going to slate you in the

631
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:53,160
Speaker 2: East eight seed.

632
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:56,799
Speaker 3: Maybe you get one game. I think the Heat.

633
00:38:56,840 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 2: The thing is this, I think the Heat could a game,

634
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:04,319
Speaker 2: maybe even two. I think the Bulls could not. We

635
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:05,920
Speaker 2: don't know who it's gonna be, so we're gonna put

636
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 2: them there. The number three team that I'm gonna throw

637
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 2: in there, I gotta think on this one for a moment,

638
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:21,879
Speaker 2: is going to be the Brooklyn Nets.

639
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:23,280
Speaker 3: I think the Nets.

640
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 2: I think that's a team, but I know, I'm sorry.

641
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:29,320
Speaker 2: I think that's a five game series. They're playing the Sixers.

642
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:32,160
Speaker 2: I think it's sixers and five. So we're putting the

643
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:32,759
Speaker 2: Nets there.

644
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:39,719
Speaker 3: The number four team is gonna be.

645
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:42,360
Speaker 2: This is tough.

646
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:45,440
Speaker 4: So hearing the Knicks above the nets.

647
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 2: Well, I'll get to the just not behind, not much above.

648
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:51,319
Speaker 2: But it has to do with who you're playing. So

649
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 2: here's the tricky part of this, because there is like,

650
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 2: let me give you an example. I think the Clippers

651
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:03,400
Speaker 2: the Suns are just a horrific matchup for the Clippers.

652
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 2: I think the Clippers are gonna lose in five. However,

653
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:12,160
Speaker 2: if the Suns were to get hurt or something weird happens,

654
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:14,640
Speaker 2: if the Clippers somehow were to get past the Suns,

655
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:19,000
Speaker 2: they could go on a real run because that Paul.

656
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:20,040
Speaker 3: George could be back by then.

657
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:23,400
Speaker 2: So I think they're only gonna win one game, but

658
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 2: they also they have a chance of going on a

659
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:29,960
Speaker 2: real run that the Western Conference eight seed does not,

660
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:32,520
Speaker 2: even if I think the Western Armends eighth seed might

661
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:35,600
Speaker 2: be able to take two games off of Denver. So

662
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:39,760
Speaker 2: that's where the strategy comes into this game. With that said,

663
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:43,160
Speaker 2: we're gonna go ahead and throw the Western Conference eight

664
00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:48,480
Speaker 2: seed as our number four, as the team I'm next

665
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:55,240
Speaker 2: least most confident. Now we've got to think for a moment.

666
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:03,200
Speaker 2: I'm gonna put the Clippers at five because I think

667
00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 2: they lose four to one. I'm gonna put the Knicks

668
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:10,719
Speaker 2: at six. I think they lose either four to one

669
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:17,719
Speaker 2: or four to two. Now, it's really tricky because all

670
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:24,319
Speaker 2: the other teams left are good teams, and this is

671
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:27,440
Speaker 2: where I'm either gonna win or lose. The competition is

672
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:33,560
Speaker 2: am I right on? Warriors Grizzlies. I'm sorry Warriors, Kings

673
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:38,359
Speaker 2: and Lakers Grizzlies. I'm going to put the Grizzlies at

674
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 2: seven because I think they are only going to win

675
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:46,799
Speaker 2: two games in this series. I am going to put

676
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:51,800
Speaker 2: the Warriors at eight, because I think they are only

677
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 2: going to win three games and then be eliminated. Now,

678
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 2: we really have to be strategical this because I think,

679
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:05,400
Speaker 2: for example, Kings Lakers is going to be a long series.

680
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 2: But I also recognize there is a chance the Kings

681
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:14,760
Speaker 2: get bounced by the Warriors. I don't think it will happen,

682
00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 2: but that they get bounced by the Warriors. So I

683
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:21,640
Speaker 2: don't want to have them too high. So I'm gonna

684
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:25,800
Speaker 2: put the Kings at nine. I am going to put

685
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:29,279
Speaker 2: the Calves at eight. I'm sorry, at ten. Pardon me.

686
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:32,520
Speaker 2: We're doing this. You know, the more the higher the number,

687
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:36,560
Speaker 2: the more confident I am in the team. I don't

688
00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:38,960
Speaker 2: think the Calves match up well with Milwaukee, but I

689
00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:42,799
Speaker 2: do expect them to get past the Knicks. I am

690
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:51,160
Speaker 2: going to put the Denver Nuggets at eleven and the

691
00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:56,920
Speaker 2: Boston Celtics at twelve. I think Denver loses to Phoenix

692
00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:01,680
Speaker 2: in six. I think the Celtic lose to the Sixers

693
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:07,279
Speaker 2: in seven of home game seven loss for Boston. So

694
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:10,840
Speaker 2: my final four is Milwaukee, Philly, Phoenix, and the Lakers.

695
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:18,160
Speaker 2: I'm going to put the Phoenix Suns at number thirteen.

696
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:23,719
Speaker 2: I am going to put the Milwaukee Bucks at number fourteen.

697
00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:29,719
Speaker 2: My finals is Lakers Sixers. I have the Lakers winning it,

698
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:32,880
Speaker 2: so I will put the Philadelphia seventy six ers at

699
00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:37,719
Speaker 2: number fifteen and the Lakers at number sixteen.

700
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:39,279
Speaker 3: So there it is.

701
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:45,560
Speaker 2: There are my sixteen to one most to least confident.

702
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:55,080
Speaker 2: It goes Lakers, Sixers, Bucks, Sun, Celtics, Nuggets, Calves, Kings, Warriors, Grizzlies, Nicks, Clippers,

703
00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:57,960
Speaker 2: whoever comes out of the West for the eight seed,

704
00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 2: the Nets, whoever comes out of the East for the

705
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:03,879
Speaker 2: eight seed, and then the Atlanta Hawks. Sorry Trey Young

706
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:07,160
Speaker 2: in company, but congrats on beating the heat. There is

707
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:11,759

Speaker 3: So last night we had a big family dinner.

734
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:43,360
Speaker 2: We did a thing that we used to do a

735
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:46,760
Speaker 2: lot in our household, and then we kind of hadn't

736
00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:48,680

Speaker 2: a five year goal, and a ten year goal for ourselves.

740
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:07,280
Speaker 2: And what then we also add like a tangible item

741
00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:12,640
Speaker 2: a present, something that if we reach our one year

742
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:16,120
Speaker 2: goal a year from now, I then buy for the person.

Speaker 2: a car, so you know.

748
00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:33,279
Speaker 4: Well, guys, let's also point out though that, huh. I

749
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:35,759
Speaker 4: wasn't gonna get a car freshman year anyway. We said

750
00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:37,960
Speaker 4: like I could get a car sophomore year, so it

751
00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:40,719
Speaker 4: was kind of already in the cards. So I don't

752
00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:43,360
Speaker 4: want everyone to think I'm just some like spoiled brat.

753
00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:47,320
Speaker 2: No, it's no. And listen, you're gonna look amazing driving

754
00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:49,680
Speaker 2: around California in a oh four Civic.

755
00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:50,880
Speaker 3: It's gonna be great.

756
00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:52,360
Speaker 4: I don't care what car it is.

757
00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:55,879
Speaker 2: No, I know you. Uh. And so we all did

758
00:46:55,920 --> 00:47:01,480
Speaker 2: that yesterday and then today as it happened, And this

759
00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:03,440
Speaker 2: is the part that I need you guys to go

760
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:07,240
Speaker 2: ahead and send to me please. Today as it happens

761
00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:14,920
Speaker 2: is my ten year anniversary, and this morning I was

762
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:20,560
Speaker 2: going through thousands of old pictures to try to do

763
00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:25,160
Speaker 2: what is like obligatory at this point a social media

764
00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:28,600
Speaker 2: post of me and my wife over the years.

765
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:31,080
Speaker 4: If he doesn't count it.

766
00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:33,120
Speaker 2: Right, it's like a big thing, and like people get

767
00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:36,879
Speaker 2: offiniti if you don't do it. But I'm terrible at

768
00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:41,480
Speaker 2: picking pictures and I'm oddly bad at writing captions.

769
00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:43,640
Speaker 3: So instead I want to do this.

770
00:47:44,120 --> 00:47:51,000
Speaker 2: Here it and I've told this story before, so I

771
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:55,319
Speaker 2: will tell it quickly, and I'm sure my wife is

772
00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:58,879
Speaker 2: sick of hearing it to it. Agree, But it cannot

773
00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:05,040
Speaker 2: be overstated how much meeting Danielle and getting together with

774
00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:11,200
Speaker 2: Danielle changed the course of my life. I was kind

775
00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:17,800
Speaker 2: of a disaster. Like talented, hard working, good at my job.

776
00:48:18,080 --> 00:48:22,320
Speaker 2: Everything else in my life was a disaster. And getting

777
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:27,080
Speaker 2: with my wife is what straightened me out, is what

778
00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:33,919
Speaker 2: gave me purpose. And you then add to that the

779
00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:37,839
Speaker 2: bonus of And this is just an objective opinion. This

780
00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:42,600
Speaker 2: isn't you know through a husband's eyes, she's gotta be

781
00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:49,280
Speaker 2: one of the single most beautiful people in the entire world,

782
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:55,880
Speaker 2: and her unwavering faith in me. I don't have the

783
00:48:55,960 --> 00:49:00,239
Speaker 2: Fox job if not for the fact that I got

784
00:49:00,239 --> 00:49:04,080
Speaker 2: a phone call eight years ago when we were on

785
00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:09,439
Speaker 2: vacation and Sacramento, saying, the new president of FS one

786
00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:13,160
Speaker 2: has agreed to meet with you if you'll come there

787
00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:20,160
Speaker 2: on your own dime for one fifteen minute meeting. And

788
00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:23,279
Speaker 2: the meeting was about me potentially getting a job with

789
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:26,600
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio. And the only reason I was meeting

790
00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:30,719
Speaker 2: with the head of FS one was because, uh, Fox.

791
00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:32,360
Speaker 3: Sports Radio and FS one working there. There's about a

792
00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:32,960
Speaker 3: radio job.

793
00:49:33,520 --> 00:49:37,880
Speaker 2: And I was on vacation with Danielle and I was like, ah,

794
00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:40,200
Speaker 2: She's like, so what's going on. I'm like, well, my

795
00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:43,520
Speaker 2: agent just said the new president, Jamie Horowitz, would meet

796
00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:45,520
Speaker 2: with me, but I got to get there on my own.

797
00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:48,240
Speaker 2: He said the meeting would not be a minute longer

798
00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:50,680
Speaker 2: than fifteen minutes. I don't even know if it's worth it.

799
00:49:51,239 --> 00:49:54,239
Speaker 2: She said, what are you talking about. He'll love you,

800
00:49:54,239 --> 00:49:58,280
Speaker 2: You'll kill it. Let's go tomorrow. We can drive down.

801
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:02,840
Speaker 2: And that's what's set my entire career on this course.

802
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:08,759
Speaker 2: The first time I auditioned for FS one, I called

803
00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:11,120
Speaker 2: her after because it was on TV. And I'll ever

804
00:50:11,200 --> 00:50:13,080
Speaker 2: forget it my whole life. I'll never forget it. She said,

805
00:50:13,080 --> 00:50:17,120
Speaker 2: you're built for this shit, baby, and has always believed

806
00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:20,040
Speaker 2: in me and always supported me. And I can be

807
00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:23,400
Speaker 2: a handful and a lot to deal with. Yeah, And

808
00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 2: she has been simply the greatest partner imaginable and she's

809
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:37,520
Speaker 2: the greatest vacation partner. She is the greatest mom. That

810
00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:39,800
Speaker 2: was one of the cool one of the best things.

811
00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:44,520
Speaker 2: One of the reasons I so quickly was sure she

812
00:50:44,719 --> 00:50:49,120
Speaker 2: was the person I wanted to marry was because usually,

813
00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:51,960
Speaker 2: you know, obviously you and your brother were around when

814
00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:52,560
Speaker 2: your mom and.

815
00:50:52,480 --> 00:50:54,919
Speaker 3: I got together fifteen years ago.

816
00:50:55,200 --> 00:50:57,000
Speaker 2: Usually when you fall in love with someone, there is

817
00:50:57,040 --> 00:50:59,080
Speaker 2: still kind of the question of like, ah, will they

818
00:50:59,080 --> 00:51:02,319
Speaker 2: be a good mom. But I already knew it. I

819
00:51:02,360 --> 00:51:08,160
Speaker 2: had seen it firsthand. And she's just the most remarkable

820
00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:11,160
Speaker 2: woman I've ever met. And the fact that we do

821
00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:15,799
Speaker 2: this podcast from her boutique that she built from the

822
00:51:15,880 --> 00:51:21,080
Speaker 2: ground up that is now just a diamond in this community,

823
00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:26,480
Speaker 2: and she is a Harlem superstar. It's wonderful. And in

824
00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:30,080
Speaker 2: a lot of places she is not Nick Wright's wife.

825
00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:36,200
Speaker 2: I am Danielle or Bird's husband. And it's great. And

826
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:39,640
Speaker 2: I love you so much, baby, and happy anniversary. And

827
00:51:39,680 --> 00:51:45,440
Speaker 2: this is my Instagram post. Oh how sweet, thank you scoot.

828
00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:49,040
Speaker 2: All right, let's read the DIORA. All right, let's read

829
00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:53,840
Speaker 2: some fan questions. Uh. Ziko Ramos says, question for DIORA

830
00:51:54,320 --> 00:51:57,279
Speaker 2: on a scale from one to ten, how athletic is Nick?

831
00:51:57,600 --> 00:51:58,760
Speaker 4: Hey give him a four?

832
00:52:00,239 --> 00:52:02,960
Speaker 2: Okay? But what about in my prime? What about in

833
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:03,600
Speaker 2: my heyday?

834
00:52:04,640 --> 00:52:06,120
Speaker 4: How would I know about that at all?

835
00:52:06,239 --> 00:52:10,279
Speaker 2: I mean, you've heard stories from only you, no, no

836
00:52:10,480 --> 00:52:17,120
Speaker 2: great basketball player to a four? Yeah, I think that's unfair,

837
00:52:17,640 --> 00:52:20,120
Speaker 2: but whatever I knew. I'm surprised you didn't give me

838
00:52:20,200 --> 00:52:23,359
Speaker 2: a one. Next, Nick, if Lebron and Pat Mahomes both

839
00:52:23,360 --> 00:52:26,040
Speaker 2: of my I'm not reading that super question. Sorry? Uh

840
00:52:26,080 --> 00:52:27,960
Speaker 2: he said, if Lebron and Mahomes both invited me to

841
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:29,640
Speaker 2: a party, which one would I go to?

842
00:52:30,239 --> 00:52:32,839
Speaker 4: The ASO said, love to show it. A big fan

843
00:52:32,880 --> 00:52:35,200
Speaker 4: of all your work. You you didn't want to include

844
00:52:35,200 --> 00:52:36,359
Speaker 4: that to be nice.

845
00:52:36,600 --> 00:52:38,439
Speaker 2: I know it was being nice. I shouldn't have said

846
00:52:38,440 --> 00:52:40,600
Speaker 2: that was dumb question. I just feel like that's a

847
00:52:40,640 --> 00:52:44,600
Speaker 2: little I don't know, I don't know the answer. I

848
00:52:44,640 --> 00:52:46,399
Speaker 2: should have read the question before I actually thought about

849
00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:47,880
Speaker 2: the question. But I appreciate the question.

850
00:52:48,440 --> 00:52:51,320
Speaker 4: Uh question, Hey, did you answer the question.

851
00:52:52,080 --> 00:52:53,600
Speaker 3: I guess the answer is Lebron.

852
00:52:55,320 --> 00:52:57,520
Speaker 2: N No, because I I've.

853
00:52:57,400 --> 00:52:59,960
Speaker 3: Had drinks and partied with Mahomes after the Super Bowl.

854
00:53:00,040 --> 00:53:02,600
Speaker 4: Wouldn't claim that. Guys, this is not.

855
00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:05,719
Speaker 2: True and I've never I I guess I had a

856
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:08,359
Speaker 2: drink with Lebron once a few years ago, but.

857
00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:09,840
Speaker 3: I've never liked Does he remember that?

858
00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:12,319
Speaker 2: You know what? I guess you'd have to ask him.

859
00:53:12,880 --> 00:53:17,080
Speaker 2: But uh, I think the answer there's Lebron. Uh. Jaegunter says,

860
00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:22,440
Speaker 2: question for Deora, what is the dream acting role for you? Oh?

861
00:53:22,560 --> 00:53:24,120
Speaker 4: I've answered this before on the show.

862
00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:25,040
Speaker 2: Well what is it?

863
00:53:25,480 --> 00:53:27,360
Speaker 4: I said? I said marine from.

864
00:53:27,160 --> 00:53:30,239
Speaker 2: Rent Oh, yeah you did, You're right. I forgot about that,

865
00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:34,320
Speaker 2: my bad. Uh Nick, what's the ceiling for this Brooklyn

866
00:53:34,360 --> 00:53:37,879
Speaker 2: Nets team? I think they're a sleeper? No, I disagree.

867
00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:40,719
Speaker 2: I think that they listen. They have they have been

868
00:53:40,880 --> 00:53:44,600
Speaker 2: fine post trade, They've treaded water, but they're The ceiling

869
00:53:44,760 --> 00:53:48,719
Speaker 2: is Game six against the Sixers. They need a little

870
00:53:48,760 --> 00:53:51,759
Speaker 2: more talent. Mikhale Bridges has been one hell of it.

871
00:53:51,840 --> 00:53:53,920
Speaker 2: He's been excellent for them. I got to give him credit,

872
00:53:54,120 --> 00:53:58,960
Speaker 2: but that's their ceiling. Renton repeats said Diora, Who are

873
00:53:58,960 --> 00:54:00,520
Speaker 2: your favorite actors and act actresses.

874
00:54:01,840 --> 00:54:05,239
Speaker 4: That's a really good question. I really like Jenna Ortega,

875
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:09,440
Speaker 4: I really like Leonardo DiCaprio.

876
00:54:10,200 --> 00:54:12,239
Speaker 2: Who's Jenna Ortego? What do I know her from?

877
00:54:13,280 --> 00:54:14,520
Speaker 4: Uh? She played Wednesday?

878
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:20,400
Speaker 2: Oh okay, yeah, Oh, I didn't know Wednesday. She's Hispanic. Yeah,

879
00:54:20,440 --> 00:54:22,239
Speaker 2: I didn't know that. I didn't know the girl who

880
00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:24,319
Speaker 2: played Wednesday was Hispanic. Okay, go ahead.

881
00:54:25,400 --> 00:54:28,440
Speaker 4: Uh. I can't think of anyone else right now.

882
00:54:28,560 --> 00:54:31,120
Speaker 3: Okay, So Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Ortega.

883
00:54:31,440 --> 00:54:37,000
Speaker 2: Uh, Christopher Jenna Ortica. Sorry, Christopher Rodriguez, says Nick. What

884
00:54:37,040 --> 00:54:39,160
Speaker 2: does a Philly early loss in the playoffs stupid the

885
00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:43,040
Speaker 2: legacy even beade Harden and Doc rivers an early loss. Well,

886
00:54:43,080 --> 00:54:48,239
Speaker 2: a round one loss is a disaster for all. A

887
00:54:48,400 --> 00:54:54,600
Speaker 2: tough Round two loss to Boston it doesn't really move

888
00:54:54,680 --> 00:54:58,960
Speaker 2: their legacies. But that's a problem for him because Harden's

889
00:54:59,120 --> 00:55:05,799
Speaker 2: playoff legacy is disastrous. Docs playoff legacy post Celtics is

890
00:55:05,840 --> 00:55:10,799
Speaker 2: not great at all. It's quite bad, and Embiid's about

891
00:55:10,840 --> 00:55:13,319
Speaker 2: to become the first MVP in league history to have

892
00:55:13,360 --> 00:55:16,600
Speaker 2: never made Round three unless they make Round three this year,

893
00:55:16,719 --> 00:55:20,360
Speaker 2: so their legacy won't go backwards if they lose in

894
00:55:20,440 --> 00:55:24,040
Speaker 2: round two, But all of those guys need it to

895
00:55:24,080 --> 00:55:25,360
Speaker 2: go forwards.

896
00:55:27,560 --> 00:55:29,080
Speaker 3: Coach Mystique, says Nick.

897
00:55:29,120 --> 00:55:31,800
Speaker 2: With b I coming into his own and the Pelicans

898
00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:34,640
Speaker 2: seemingly having a solid corps, is there any chance New

899
00:55:34,719 --> 00:55:39,480
Speaker 2: Orleans shop Zion this offseason? Man? That is one of

900
00:55:39,480 --> 00:55:43,320
Speaker 2: the most intriguing questions of the offseason. What is going

901
00:55:43,320 --> 00:55:48,319
Speaker 2: on with Zion? What is he going to be able

902
00:55:48,360 --> 00:55:51,920
Speaker 2: to have an embiid like trajectory of injuries ruining the

903
00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:54,560
Speaker 2: beginning of his career and then being mostly healthy after

904
00:55:55,080 --> 00:55:59,959
Speaker 2: he gave some really scary quotes about his mental state

905
00:56:00,280 --> 00:56:00,719
Speaker 2: right now.

906
00:56:00,719 --> 00:56:02,120
Speaker 3: It was weird before the game.

907
00:56:02,200 --> 00:56:04,960
Speaker 2: He was dunked in pregame, which he hasn't been doing

908
00:56:05,040 --> 00:56:07,480
Speaker 2: and similar to what we saw last year.

909
00:56:07,560 --> 00:56:09,239
Speaker 3: I don't know, but I don't think.

910
00:56:09,280 --> 00:56:10,719
Speaker 2: I don't think you can. I don't think you can

911
00:56:10,760 --> 00:56:15,479
Speaker 2: trade Zion at his His value is the lowest it's

912
00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:18,399
Speaker 2: ever been right now, so I don't think now would

913
00:56:18,440 --> 00:56:22,279
Speaker 2: be the time to trade him. Uh. But that is

914
00:56:22,320 --> 00:56:24,319
Speaker 2: an interesting one because this team was a game out

915
00:56:24,320 --> 00:56:26,440
Speaker 2: of the one seed and then he got hurt and

916
00:56:26,480 --> 00:56:30,440
Speaker 2: now they're not even gonna be in the playoffs. Uh,

917
00:56:30,640 --> 00:56:34,000
Speaker 2: all right. By the way, on Twitter, we're gonna post

918
00:56:34,360 --> 00:56:38,080
Speaker 2: my confidence game. You guys submit yours one through sixteen

921
00:56:42,840 --> 00:56:46,400
Speaker 2: job in your first week allergies notwithstanding.

922
00:56:46,080 --> 00:56:47,800
Speaker 4: Uh, guys, it's not my fault.

923
00:56:48,200 --> 00:56:50,160
Speaker 2: It's a little we fully didn't take your allergy pill.

924
00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:51,960
Speaker 2: I mean, listen, it's part of you know what I mean.

925
00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:56,040
Speaker 4: No, but it's never been this bad. None degrees to.

926
00:56:56,320 --> 00:56:58,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, listen, you did great. I'm very proud of you

927
