6
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:26,439

7
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: important to any man or woman. They want you to

8
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 1: be comfortable, so if you don't like the first pair,

Speaker 1: you can keep it and it will refund you no

10
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:37,200
Speaker 1: questions asked. Okay, you understand that you could buy some underwear.

Speaker 1: all right. They wash well and they dry well. That

15
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: means they don't come out shrunken into little baby underwear.

16
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,479

Speaker 1: and who hopefully inspire their kids to be better than them.

50
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 1: Today's episode of the Iron Rapp Reports Stereo podcast is

51
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 1: the Diary of a Mad Fan, Part two, Game seven

52
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: of the NBA Finals, A day in the life of

53
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: of a crazed fan. Now right now, as you could hear,

54
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: I'm in the streets walking my dog Wheezy. It's five

55
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: seven now, Um, today's the game. It's Game seven. It's

56
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: been a brutal emotional series and quite frankly, a brutal

57
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: emotional playoffs. Um. Not only have the games been brutal,

58
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:19,919
Speaker 1: but I have actually packed, moved, been displaced, and finally

59
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:25,479
Speaker 1: moved into a new home. I've seen the team that

60
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: I'm rooting for beyond the brink, not once, but twice. Um. Listen,

61
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: I'm a Knicks fan, but my redheaded step child team

62
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 1: is the Golden State Warriors. And to be honest, it

63
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 1: would be the Oklahoma Thunder, it would be the San

64
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: Antonio Spurs, it would be the Utah Jazz. I'm against Cleveland.

65
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: I'm against manufactured teams. One of the reasons why I

66
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: really do like Golden State over Cleveland is because Golden

67
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 1: State was a team that was drafted, put together. It

68
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: wasn't a friends and family trip, wasn't any big free agents,

69
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 1: wasn't any uh contrived Big three. Um, you've heard it all.

70
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: You've heard it all. So today I'm gonna try to

71
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 1: get some special guests on the Iron Rapp Reports stereo podcast.

72
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:35,479
Speaker 1: I gotta be honest. I'm reluctant to call my co

73
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: host and two thousand and fifteen podcast a co host

74
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 1: of the year, Gerald Moody a k A G. Monetti

75
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 1: a ka G. Moody. Last name rhymes with duty because

76
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 1: of his smug attitude towards me. Um and his would

77
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 1: be Cleveland Cavaliers. But I'll call him up today. I'm

78
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 1: gonna get Kristen Ladlow from NBA TV, friend of mine

79
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: who have met playing. She's witnessed me in celebrity All

80
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: Star games. She hosts NBA Inside Stuff, mostly gonna interview

81
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: Mike Breen, play by play man lead play by play

82
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 1: man for ABC, covering the entire NBA Finals. He's the

83
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: one who probably most famous for going bang bang bang

84
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:33,039
Speaker 1: every time someone makes a big shot, particularly three wheezy,

85
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 1: come on, weezy. I'm out here walking my dog. I'm

86
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:42,280
Speaker 1: in the streets. So I'm bringing back Wood Harris, who

87
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: I'm going to tell that if he harasses me during

88
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:49,599
Speaker 1: the show and during Game seven, I'm ready to get

89
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:55,679
Speaker 1: a restraining order because as cool, quiet, and as noble

90
00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 1: as he is, he might be crazier than me when

91
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: it comes to basketball. He's nuts, he's smart, and he's

92
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: also totally out of his mind. I don't agree with

93
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: a lot of his stances. But he's a friend, he's

94
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: a fan, and now he's a recurring guest on the

95
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: Iron Rapports stereo podcast. So today is the Diary of

96
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: a mad fan. Episode. It is now five on the quiet,

97
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: empty streets of Los Angeles. I'm out here walking my

98
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 1: dog Wheezy. Um, some people think that I named my

99
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 1: dog Wheezy after Wheezy from the Jeffersons. No, that's not true.

100
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: My dog Wheezy, who uh now has his own emoji

101
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: on the wrap the Iron rapp Report rapmoji's. Um. I

102
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 1: got the dog out of a pound in Louisiana, Henstton

103
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: Henston named Wheezy. Okay, not from Wheezy from the Jefferson's.

104
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: That would just be fucking weird. He's a male dog.

105
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 1: He's seven. Um, he's sweet and other than that, I

106
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:15,239
Speaker 1: can't really sandy accolades that he has because he doesn't

107
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 1: do any tricks. Um, it's really dark out here. I'm

108
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 1: gonna be honest with you. I'm not picking up his ship.

109
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: I'm not using any ship bags. But since I moved

110
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: into my new neighborhood, I have started picking up Wheezy's

111
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:35,559
Speaker 1: uh ships, and I do walk in with ship bags.

112
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: But I'm in the dark and I don't have my

113
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 1: headlight with me anyway. This is the diary of a

00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:40,559

Speaker 1: any better than this. This is what you you know

153
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 1: the players when they're young they dream about playing in

154
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: a in a game final, Game seven of the Finals.

155
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 1: And for me, it's been able to call a Game seven.

156
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 1: It's and the way this series is unfolded on all

157
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 1: the different stories, it's it has a chance to be special.

158
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,199
Speaker 1: I just I just hope it's a good, close, competitive

159
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 1: game because we haven't had one yet, right, right? Is

160
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 1: this your first Game seven that you're calling? No? I did? Uh?

161
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 1: I did Game seven Lakers and the Celtics, and then

162
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:39,839
Speaker 1: did the the Game seven with the Spurs and the heat,

163
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: and both of those Game seven's weren't decided until the

164
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 1: final minute. So so so when you're approaching this kind

165
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 1: of game, are you nervous before the game? And and

166
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 1: and like are you? Are you just excited? Like? Is there? Like?

167
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: Is there? I mean obviously this isn't just a regular

168
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 1: game on a Tuesday in you know, in Sacramento. This

169
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:02,439
Speaker 1: is a big game. You know. I I absolutely have butterflies.

170
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:05,959
Speaker 1: The first game set and I did back in twite

171
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 1: Ted I was so nervous, and you know, you get

172
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 1: to do him a few times, so you get a

173
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 1: feel in terms of how to harness your nerves. But

174
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 1: I'll have big time butterflies. Um, but a lot of

175
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 1: that just because it's a basketball fan. There's there's such

176
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 1: anticipation and I love the NBA so much, and it's

177
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 1: and it's such a you know, such a huge game

178
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 1: and what it means for particular players, what it means

179
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 1: for franchises. So from that standpoint, it's, um, you know,

180
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 1: it really is. The anticipation is off the charts. That

181
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 1: that that that I'm sure so so you said, you

182
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 1: know what it means to two players, so so obviously

183
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: the Lebron factor and and and the Steph Curry uh

184
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 1: and obviously Draymond you know he's had such a crazy

185
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,679
Speaker 1: series and a crazy playoffs. What do you think this game,

186
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,319
Speaker 1: you know, means to Lebron? Like if they lose, if

187
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: the Cavaliers lose, does it mean he's not the greatest

188
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 1: of all time? Or is it just is it? Is it? Like?

189
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: What do you think like the public will how do

190
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,119
Speaker 1: you think the public will respond to if they potentially

191
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 1: lose this game? Well, for the for the first thing, Michael,

192
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 1: is it drives me crazy that people want to pin

193
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 1: the quote unquote legacy on players when they're not even

194
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:21,199
Speaker 1: finished their careers yet. Can we stop the madness. Please.

195
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 1: It's clearly um evident that that Lebron James is one

196
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,199
Speaker 1: of the greats of all time, whether or not they

197
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 1: win by twenty tomorrow or lose by twenty But you know,

198
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 1: we're in a society where he has this definitive daily

199
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:39,559
Speaker 1: analysis of players and their legacy and it's it's ridiculous.

200
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: And even if he loses, it has no impact in

201
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: terms of his you know, where he stands as one

202
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 1: of the all time great players. But I do think

203
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 1: if they do win, uh, he will silence many, but

204
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: not all, because he will never happen. It just doesn't

205
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 1: happen today. He will silence many of his critics because

206
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 1: this will be his greatest triumph, cutting this team and

207
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 1: and bring a title not only to you know, to

208
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 1: his new team, but to bring a title to the

209
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 1: to a city that he loves. The reason why he

210
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 1: came back is to bring a title to the city

211
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 1: who have had as much heartbreak from a standpoint of

212
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: sports fans as any city has ever had. And as

213
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 1: you know, and you've been to Cleveland, it's Uh, their

214
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 1: passion for their for their teams is is undeniable and

215
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 1: it's never diminished despite all the misery they've been put through.

216
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 1: Well so so so when you're when you're going from

217
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 1: arena and arena, what would you say, you know, for

218
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: when you're covering the game's courtside, what's the rowdiest arena

219
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 1: to cover an NBA game? Or or just like during

220
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 1: these playoffs, like is there is there a difference between

221
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 1: the intensity of Oracle or the intensity of Cleveland? Not?

222
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 1: You know what? Not at this point, Michael, and every

223
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 1: year change is the best teams have the best atmospheres.

224
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 1: That always happens Oracle Arena. I will say this, Oracle

225
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 1: Arena has always been an unbelievable atmosphere, even when she's

226
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 1: not good, even when it wasn't sold out, the place

227
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 1: is crazy. Cleveland the other night was the loudest I've

228
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: ever heard it usen it was. It was incredible. You know,

229
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 1: there are certain places like Oklahoma City, it's it's because

230
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: it's really the only game in town. There are places

231
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 1: always crazy. But it's crazy because partly because they have

232
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 1: Duran in Westbrook. Uh And as you know and I

233
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 1: certainly do, when there's a big game, when it's a

234
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 1: huge game that matters, there's no place like Madison Square Guarden.

235
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 1: So so you brought it up, I was gonna wait

236
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 1: to get there. I mean, what what would it be

237
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 1: like as if I know, Look, you're a New York

238
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: Knicks fan. We met when I had the pleasure of

239
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 1: interviewing you for for the thirty for thirty when the

240
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 1: garden was eating. What do you think in this day

241
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 1: and age of social media and the thirst and and

242
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 1: and and the heartbreak and the frustration that the New

243
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 1: York Knicks fans, what do you think of Game seven?

244
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 1: And if an NBA Finals would be like in Madison

245
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 1: Square Garden? I can't imagine your Your documentary that you

246
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: made is a perfect example of what a difference would

247
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 1: make the Knicks one that championship in vent that's forty

248
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 1: six years ago, and we still, as New Yorkers and

249
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 1: as Nick fans, still talk about it with the same

250
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 1: type of of emotion forty six years later, and the

251
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 1: players who have played in it are still so beloved

252
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 1: and it's almost five decades later. So that just goes

253
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 1: to show you, Um, what would do I mean if

254
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 1: the Knicks won the championship? You know next year? Obviously

255
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: that's not gonna happen. But if if they won the

256
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 1: championship in fifty years, people would still be talking about it.

257
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: So it just shows you the passion and the love

258
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 1: of the sport that whether it's New York, whether it's Cleveland,

259
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 1: that they have with with their teams. If you're calling

260
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 1: a game seven, how would you even be able to be,

261
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 1: you know, impartial as as as a as a real

262
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 1: Knicks fan. I mean obviously you know, you know you

263
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 1: have to be professional, but I mean, how would you

264
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 1: even contain yourself after all we've been through his fans. Well,

265
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 1: it's it's um, it's not as hard as you as

266
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,879
Speaker 1: you think, because when you when you're calling a game,

267
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 1: you're so focused on the job at hand, and you know,

268
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 1: it really is such a team effort. Whether it's your

269
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 1: analysts next to you like Mark and Jeff, or you sideline,

270
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 1: your producer and director. Um, everybody is so um focused

271
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:29,640
Speaker 1: on getting their job done and doing this and doing

272
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:33,159
Speaker 1: that that you you your managed to state, you know,

273
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 1: stay objective. And I've done a lot of big Nick games, uh,

274
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 1: playoff games where they've lost, I've had I've done Nick

275
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,679
Speaker 1: games where Richie Miller hits these dagger three pointers, and

276
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:44,919
Speaker 1: you know you have to get just as excited for

277
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,639
Speaker 1: that as you do for a big nick basket. And

278
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 1: that's just you know, you just try and maintain your professionalism.

279
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,679
Speaker 1: But I would not know how I would react in

280
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 1: a Game seven of an NBA Finals. I would like

281
00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 1: to hope that I will maintain my professionalism, but nothing

282
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 1: until you go through it, right, So, so, so you're

283
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: talking about the the the sound of the arenas when

284
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,360
Speaker 1: you're that close. I know you have the headphones on

285
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: and you know you you're you're you know, to to

286
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:13,919
Speaker 1: trying to noise and to hear that you know, the

287
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:17,199
Speaker 1: directors and the producers. What can you hear on the

288
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 1: court that the fans at home can here, Because there's

289
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,680
Speaker 1: been all this talk about Lebron said this and then

290
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 1: Steph Curry freaked out the other night, which had to

291
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 1: be surprising because you know, you've seen him all all

292
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 1: his whole career and and to to see him lose

293
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 1: it like that. But what are you able to hear

294
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,680
Speaker 1: that is not on the broadcast or are you are

295
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 1: you able to hear anything that's not on the broadcast? Well,

296
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 1: it's hard where where we are at least doing the

297
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 1: a PC games were on the opposite side of the benches,

298
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 1: so you don't pick up as much as of the bang. Um.

299
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:51,920
Speaker 1: When you do games during a regular season, sometimes you're

300
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 1: on the same side as the benches and you can

301
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:57,360
Speaker 1: pick up some stuff just for players chatting, but at

302
00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:00,399
Speaker 1: this point it's just so loud. You do lie on.

303
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 1: They have great effects microphones that pick up stuff, but

304
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 1: the viewers here a lot of that as well. Um,

305
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,120
Speaker 1: but at this point where our broadcast location, it's hard

306
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: to pick it up because because they usually obviously the

307
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,159
Speaker 1: benches are on the other side. And what about this

308
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,159
Speaker 1: whole like you're a fan of the NBA before you

309
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 1: were even working as a broadcaster. I really uh bothered

310
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 1: by this whole uh stuff that's come up. The NBA

311
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: is rigged and all this stuff, Like what is your

312
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 1: take on that too? And you know, as a professional,

313
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 1: you know like about people saying these things. And obviously,

314
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 1: and I'm a humongous Steph Curry fan. I love his wife.

315
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 1: I've I've offered to babysit his kids. He's got the

316
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: cutest kids. But this whole thing with Aisha Curry, but

317
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 1: just in general, forget her and what she said, but

318
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:47,200
Speaker 1: just this whole theories of these you know it's rigged.

319
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 1: They're trying to make more games. What do you have

320
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,399
Speaker 1: to say about that. It's well, it's just silly. But

321
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 1: I understand from a fan standpoint, because when you were

322
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 1: young rooting for the Knicks, when I was young rooting

323
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 1: for the Knicks, um or if you have somebody who's

324
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,880
Speaker 1: related to you who are playing, you just get emotional.

325
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 1: That's the beauty of it. And you say irrational things

326
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 1: and you act irrationally sometimes. But that's why we love sports.

327
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 1: That's why we're fans of teams, because it's okay. It's

328
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,439
Speaker 1: at one point where you're allowed to be irrational and

329
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:18,679
Speaker 1: say some stuff that that obviously is not true, but

330
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 1: if it makes you feel better as a fan, it's fine.

331
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:24,159
Speaker 1: So you can't worry people saying that. But it's silly,

332
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,440
Speaker 1: and you know you can tell it's silly, Michael, from

333
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 1: a standpoint. You know, you watch all season long. You

334
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:33,439
Speaker 1: watch how hard each team prepares, how they play, starting

335
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: with training camp all through the season. You watch the

336
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:37,680
Speaker 1: effort that coaches and the players put into it. The

337
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 1: same thing with the referees. You know, the referees. They

338
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,679
Speaker 1: work so hard to try and be the official who

339
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 1: gets to call uh an NBA Finals game, And and

340
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:48,360
Speaker 1: you know, they look at so much tape, whether you're

341
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 1: a coach, whether you're a player or official. So much

342
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 1: goes into it that it's it's it's just it's a

343
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 1: silly notion, but it's a it's a passionate, emotional fan notion, right.

344
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 1: I I feel the same way. I mean, I it's

345
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,359
Speaker 1: crazy and and I don't agree with it, but I

346
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,359
Speaker 1: understand the craziness because you know, I'm I'm a lunatic myself, Mike.

347
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 1: I don't know if you know that or you could

348
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 1: tell it firsthand. I watched it first on the sidelines,

349
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 1: so so I I know that Van Gundy talks a

350
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 1: lot about it. He can't stand it. As a broadcaster.

351
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,679
Speaker 1: What do you think about the instant replay? Do you

352
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 1: like it? Do you hate it? Does it take too long?

353
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 1: Should it be on every play? Should it be on

354
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 1: every felic? What's the consensus of from your point of

355
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 1: view about about this instant replay stuff? Well, the first

356
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,160
Speaker 1: thing is it's never going to be perfect. There will

357
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,680
Speaker 1: never be a perfect system. So there's always gonna be flaws.

358
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 1: There's always going to be certain things that drive you nuts.

359
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:47,679
Speaker 1: I think initially it's it's the right idea, especially at

360
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 1: the end of a big game safe for example tonight,

361
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,159
Speaker 1: if there's a key out of bounce call and the

362
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 1: official who's right there is a little blocked and doesn't

363
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 1: see it, well, we want to see. We want to

364
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 1: see who touched it, asked, and who deserves to have

365
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 1: have possession on such a huge, huge play like that.

366
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,200
Speaker 1: So from that stand point at the end of the game,

367
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 1: I like it. I just I hope that we don't

368
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 1: go towards an area where they keep adding more triggers

369
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 1: and keep adding more things that you can review, because

370
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 1: it does slow down the pace of the beauty of

371
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 1: the game is the back and forth, the up and down,

372
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 1: the flow of the game of basketball, and it does

373
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,639
Speaker 1: take away from that. I like the replay Center this

374
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 1: year because it did seem to speed up how quickly

375
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 1: they were able to come up with a conclusion on

376
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,880
Speaker 1: a certain briefplay. Um. But it's it's good, but let's

377
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,880
Speaker 1: not go too far with it, right I agree, and

378
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 1: and and you you talk about sometimes you guys talk

379
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:40,879
Speaker 1: about this on the air and then you know, and

380
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 1: I spoke to earlier, like you guys talk about these

381
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 1: player meetings or I spoke to him at the player meeting.

382
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 1: When you guys have these player meetings for for the

383
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 1: coaches and the players that you talked to, is it

384
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,640
Speaker 1: just like I want to get out of here? Or

385
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 1: like is it player to player? Is it? Is it throughout?

386
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 1: You know? Like is it what? What? And what do

387
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 1: you guys talk about? How much information can get that

388
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 1: that is is actually usable and and uh, you know,

389
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 1: valuable information like what happens at these player meetings when

390
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,639
Speaker 1: you talk to them. Well, first off, you're right on

391
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,440
Speaker 1: the money. It's player to player. Everybody is different. Most

392
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 1: of them are very gracious, uh, and most of them

393
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 1: will give you good insight. Um. Sometimes when they're on camera,

394
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 1: they'll be a little more cautious in their comments and

395
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 1: sometimes we like sometimes we'd like to turn off the

396
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 1: camera and just sit around and and talk, and they're

397
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 1: a little more honest uh in what they'll say. Um.

398
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:34,359
Speaker 1: And then a big part of it is you know

399
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 1: certain players because you meet and you know and you

400
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 1: develop trust, so they'll come in and they'll be honest

401
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:41,439
Speaker 1: with you. And really give you because they know they

402
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:43,439
Speaker 1: can trust that, you know, if they say something that

403
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 1: they feel is off the record, but they can give

404
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:49,439
Speaker 1: you some insight, they'll do that. And then there are

405
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,160
Speaker 1: other players who will read right from the handbook how

406
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,199
Speaker 1: to answer something without saying anything. And the same thing

407
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:58,679
Speaker 1: with coaches. Some of the coaches are unbelievably honest. But

408
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:02,120
Speaker 1: what I find is when we go into meetings, they

409
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 1: have such respect for Jeff and Mark Uh for what

410
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 1: they accomplished in their knowledge of the game that it's

411
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 1: really interesting to see that. And when I've worked games

412
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 1: with Hubie Drowning was the same thing. The respect factor

413
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 1: is off the charts. And the coaches are really they're

414
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,199
Speaker 1: pretty forthcoming in terms of what they'll tell us and

415
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 1: what they're thinking and Uh and the players can be

416
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:25,639
Speaker 1: as well because they just have have a higher amount

417
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:27,440
Speaker 1: of respect for those two. Like when you when you're

418
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 1: in a meeting with like Popovich or or or these

419
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 1: great minds like Thibodo or or these these great coaches

420
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,879
Speaker 1: that seem so you know, tactical, like they're almost like

421
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 1: our army, you know, strategists are even current all all

422
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:41,360
Speaker 1: these guys, and I'm sure that I'm sure that all

423
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:44,400
Speaker 1: these coaches speaking about basketball in such an interesting way,

424
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,680
Speaker 1: and you're listening to Van Gundi or or Huby Brown

425
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 1: go back and forth with the current coaches. Is it

426
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 1: is it like are you find yourself like fanning out,

427
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:54,879
Speaker 1: like and just be like, I can't believe this is

428
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 1: my life. Do you hit the nail on the head.

429
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:01,400
Speaker 1: It's unbelievable like that, when they get into these discussions

430
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 1: on how to defend, how do you defend on the

431
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 1: pick and roll with this team? And then they go

432
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 1: on a ten minute back and forth and and offering

433
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 1: each other ideas on certain things. And when they describe

434
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 1: a player or they tell a story that they remember.

435
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,680
Speaker 1: Here's the thing about coaches, Michael, and it's it's unbelievable.

436
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:20,359
Speaker 1: They'll talk about a game thirteen years ago and they'll

437
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:24,400
Speaker 1: remember exact details. Oh, you know, so and so turned

438
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,199
Speaker 1: it over with two and a half to go. But

439
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 1: then then they missed, they missed one or two free

440
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 1: throws at the line with fifty seconds. It's unreal. Yeah,

441
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:36,399
Speaker 1: they have this recall. And the interesting thing is most

442
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: of the coaches, they can they firmly remember the losses

443
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 1: more than they remember when and I'm always I'm always

444
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 1: ought by that, and that those are the ones that

445
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 1: stick with them more often than the big victories. All Right,

446
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:51,879
Speaker 1: I'm gonna, I'm gonna let you go. I got I

447
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 1: got two more questions. You you've been next to the

448
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 1: great Walt Frasier, Clyde Frasier. You call NIX games with them,

449
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 1: You've in a fan you've been doing it for years,

450
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 1: and you and you work sometimes with Sagar and obviously

451
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 1: Sagar was there the other night. Now, this might be

452
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:10,719
Speaker 1: a tough question. There's politics involved. Who has the best suits?

453
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 1: Is it Clyde or is it Seger? And if those

454
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 1: guys are ever in the same building together, do you

455
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:18,640
Speaker 1: think that with the suits and the colors, they could

456
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:24,439

464
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:51,080

Speaker 1: stereo podcast coming live and direct, speaking to you where

621
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:13,279
Speaker 1: you're in the bowels of Oracle Arena right now. I

622
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 1: am is the heat of all of it, right now,

623
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 1: I'm actually standing next to the Cavaliers locker room, so

624
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 1: we will be waiting on them to stillster in one

625
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:23,239
Speaker 1: by one here in these next I guess about a

626
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:25,720
Speaker 1: half an hour. But I have not been this psyche

627
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:28,839
Speaker 1: great basketball game since I played in the Celebrity All

628
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:32,759
Speaker 1: Star Game alongside yourself at Madison's Squared Carden. Now, now

629
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:35,799
Speaker 1: let me ask you a question. Compare the intensity of

630
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 1: a Celebrity All Star Game with what your experience right

631
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 1: now at Game seven, because I it must be similar,

632
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 1: But break it down, because you've lived, You've lived both. Yeah,

633
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:48,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like it's probably a similar environment

634
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 1: because we had you as our emotional leader. I felt

635
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:53,879
Speaker 1: like you were kind of the Draymond Green of our

636
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:56,680
Speaker 1: team for that Celebrity All Star Game. So I don't know,

637
00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 1: I think that the intensity levels are pretty similar. The

638
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 1: steaks are easyly just as I here. Okay, I I

639
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 1: understand that because you see I know that because I

640
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 1: pay playing these high competitive games. I wanted you to

641
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:10,440
Speaker 1: pay the picture. But but in all seriousness, how excited

642
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 1: are you to be a part of of of the

643
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 1: n B A and and and be a part of

644
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:19,240
Speaker 1: such a great series this year and and and correct

645
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:22,239
Speaker 1: me if i'm long. Is this your first official year

646
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:25,800
Speaker 1: doing like all the sideline games or is it your second?

647
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 1: I know, like like explain that. Yeah, no, it is

648
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:32,759
Speaker 1: my first official year because I think I remember you

649
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:34,880
Speaker 1: texted me the very first night that you saw me

650
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:36,880
Speaker 1: on T N T and you were like, hey, you

651
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 1: were killing it and it was my first night, and

652
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 1: I told you that. I was like, well, pitch you

653
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:42,279
Speaker 1: for saying that, because I don't remember anything I said.

654
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:45,239
Speaker 1: And I'm so nervous, and you know, it's wild to

655
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:46,799
Speaker 1: actually get to be a part of it. So this

656
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 1: is my first season start to finish being part of

657
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 1: the TNT crew, the NBA TV crew, And now we're

658
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 1: finishing it off with a Game seven at or Florina

659
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 1: with me between one of the best players to ever

660
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:00,080
Speaker 1: play and one of the best teams to ever do it.

661
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:02,920
Speaker 1: And my goodness, I'm at a loss for words. You

662
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 1: know me, I've been a basketball fan since I was

663
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:06,840
Speaker 1: a little kid. So to get to be part of this,

664
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 1: it's just it's indescribable. Is it? Is it? What is

665
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:11,840
Speaker 1: it like in the arena now? Like, is it is

666
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:14,759
Speaker 1: it buzzing more than normal? Yeah. And you know what's

667
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 1: wild is there is actually an A's game at home

668
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:19,759
Speaker 1: next door. So for those who kind of know the

669
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 1: Oakland area, you know that these I mean, these two

670
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 1: stadiums are connected to each other. So traffic is at

671
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:27,919
Speaker 1: an all time high. Height is at an all time high.

672
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:30,239
Speaker 1: The parking lots are already full. And this game doesn't

673
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 1: mean this game does the tip off for like hours,

674
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 1: and they're already stands here in the arena. Now now,

675
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:39,360
Speaker 1: now you said that the players having arrived, so you

676
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:42,360
Speaker 1: know you're younger than me, But this whole fashion and

677
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 1: what they're wearing, this is now like a thing that obviously,

678
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 1: like you know, in the in the seventies and the eighties,

679
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 1: no one filmed these guys coming into the arena. No

680
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:54,800
Speaker 1: one cared what they wear. This is like an actual

681
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 1: part of the whole game and the whole production of

682
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:02,400
Speaker 1: the game, isn't isn't it easy? Yeah? And you know

683
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:05,840
Speaker 1: what's funny is I was just talking to Isaiah Thomas

684
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 1: in our green room, the baddest of the bad Boys,

685
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:10,759
Speaker 1: and he said, if it has been me playing now,

686
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 1: or if fashion had been big back then, He's like,

687
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:15,160
Speaker 1: I would have been the Roughall Westbrook of the league

688
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:17,439
Speaker 1: back then. We're like what and he's like, I used

689
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:19,680
Speaker 1: to do stuff, Like he said, I would be wearing

690
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:22,400
Speaker 1: brown and black and until I wear a brown shoe

691
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:24,280
Speaker 1: and a black shoot to make sure that it matched.

692
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 1: I'm huge. So he's going on about his fashion game,

693
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 1: talking about how he wants to bring back like the

694
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:32,719
Speaker 1: stacked heels for men. So it's funny to even hear

695
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:34,800
Speaker 1: a guy from that era. I've talked about the guys

696
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:37,640
Speaker 1: from this era because they're very mixed opinions on it.

697
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:39,239
Speaker 1: You've got a guy like Isaiah's like, oh, I'd be

698
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:40,960
Speaker 1: thro Russell Westbrook, and then you've got one of our

699
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:43,800
Speaker 1: guys like Charles Barkley, who's like, what is this fool wearing?

700
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:46,640
Speaker 1: So it's funny to like hear those guys from back

701
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:48,640
Speaker 1: then talk about the guys today. Look at You're right,

702
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:50,840
Speaker 1: it's become part of the whole production of all of it.

703
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:52,840
Speaker 1: You know, like these guys have their outfits planned for

704
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:55,640
Speaker 1: game seven months in a the Yeah, it's crazy, all right.

705
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:58,359
Speaker 1: So let me ask you a question, So are you

706
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:04,280
Speaker 1: still like starstruck or like excited when you're interviewing players

707
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:06,319
Speaker 1: and who like through this year. I know you've you know,

708
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:08,040
Speaker 1: you've been a part of the NBA and the inside

709
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 1: stuff for for a while now, but like this year,

710
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:12,880
Speaker 1: you you you got to sit down with like everybody

711
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:15,560
Speaker 1: up close in personal like who are you the most

712
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:19,839
Speaker 1: nervous or excited to talk about to talk to? You

713
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:22,319
Speaker 1: know so far in your career, Like who who are you? Like,

714
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:25,879
Speaker 1: I can't believe this is happening? Right? You know what's

715
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 1: wild is for me it's the guys who have been

716
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:32,239
Speaker 1: in the league now sixteen, seventeen, twenty years, because those

717
00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:34,239
Speaker 1: are guys that I watched when I was still a kid.

718
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 1: You know, I'm twenty eight. So Kobe got in the

719
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:38,600
Speaker 1: league when I was sticking there. I was seven years

720
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:41,399
Speaker 1: old when he was a rookie, seven turning eight years old.

721
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:43,880
Speaker 1: So for me, I think sitting down with Kobe this

722
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:46,960
Speaker 1: season was one of those like how did I get here?

723
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 1: Kind of moments, you know, like this is one of

724
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:51,279
Speaker 1: those highlights of not just a career, but kind of

725
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:53,760
Speaker 1: a life, you know. So for me, it's those guys

726
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:55,600
Speaker 1: that I kind of grew up watching, the guys that

727
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:58,000
Speaker 1: I grew up emulating. Um, I felt the same way

728
00:40:58,040 --> 00:40:59,920
Speaker 1: about part of peers too. If I remember for its,

729
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:03,920
Speaker 1: you're not a fan. I don't remember Pierce. Yeah, No,

730
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 1: I love Paul Pierce. I love I love remember all Right,

731
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 1: There's very few that I'm not fans of. But but

732
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:13,359
Speaker 1: but Paul Pierce. One of the reasons why I love

733
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:15,360
Speaker 1: him is because I feel like if I was an

734
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:18,280
Speaker 1: NBA caliber I would have a game like his because

735
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:20,839
Speaker 1: he was never really that quick, and I think the

736
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:23,960
Speaker 1: fact that he's so skilled is the reason why he's

737
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:26,640
Speaker 1: able to continue because right, you know, now he's like,

738
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:29,640
Speaker 1: you know, fifty five year old Jewish man status, but

739
00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:34,200
Speaker 1: he still gets it done. So he gives me inspiration. Right,

740
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:36,319
Speaker 1: So he was one of my He was like the

741
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:39,120
Speaker 1: guy that I emulated my game after and also my

742
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:43,800
Speaker 1: trash talking ability. He was like Kobe, Paul Piers, Kevin Garnett.

743
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:45,719
Speaker 1: So those guys that have been in the league for

744
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:47,640
Speaker 1: as long as since I've been a little girl, both

745
00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:49,800
Speaker 1: the guys I still like to sit down and tope,

746
00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:51,799
Speaker 1: But I don't see you as a trash shalker because

747
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:53,839
Speaker 1: because you know, I see he was like so like

748
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:57,040
Speaker 1: you're you're like so sweet and clean spirited and like

749
00:41:57,080 --> 00:41:59,319
Speaker 1: you just chill, like when you played both where you

750
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:01,320
Speaker 1: did you because you're like our series athlete, Like a

751
00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:03,319
Speaker 1: lot of people don't know, like you were like a

752
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:08,719
Speaker 1: college athlete, right, Yes, And I appreciate you bringing that up. Um, yeah,

753
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:11,600
Speaker 1: I was. I played basketball and volleyball in college. Um.

754
00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 1: Actually got thrown out of a couple of volleyball games

755
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:16,680
Speaker 1: in college because you're not allowed to make contacts through

756
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:19,120
Speaker 1: the net, and I forget that. You know, volleyball is

757
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:21,359
Speaker 1: not a contact sports. So yeah, I don't know what

758
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:23,840
Speaker 1: it is about, but it just brought out the best

759
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:26,360
Speaker 1: or I guess worst than me. Tough to say, but yeah, no,

760
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:29,640
Speaker 1: I was absolutely a trash talker and it got personal

761
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:32,680
Speaker 1: to trust me. Okay, okay, So, so what's been the

762
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:36,319
Speaker 1: thing that's been craziest for you to see during these finals? Like,

763
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:38,640
Speaker 1: I mean, it's been so nuts and you know, I

764
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:41,040
Speaker 1: text you and you know, I'm like, I'm like, I'm

765
00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:42,839
Speaker 1: like such a fan of what you do and such

766
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:45,399
Speaker 1: a fan of of the league. What's been the thing

767
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 1: for you that's been the most surprising, like of of

768
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:51,160
Speaker 1: these sets, of these six games so far, Like, what

769
00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 1: do you think has been the biggest twist? Yeah? And

770
00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:56,440
Speaker 1: first and foremost, I am such a huge fan of

771
00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:58,920
Speaker 1: yours also, so I love that you were like, you're

772
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:03,800
Speaker 1: like my my favorite, uh go to not professional basketball analysts,

773
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:06,160
Speaker 1: like any any time that I you know, like you're

774
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:09,120
Speaker 1: like the basketball analysts like in another life kind of thing,

775
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:11,080
Speaker 1: you know, so anytime. And that's why I text you

776
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:13,719
Speaker 1: all the time through these games and we go back

777
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:15,520
Speaker 1: and forth about this stuff. I think, to me, what's

778
00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:18,880
Speaker 1: been the most surprising, the craziest to actually see, uh,

779
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:22,279
Speaker 1: is these Cavaliers dig out of what after games one

780
00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:25,440
Speaker 1: and two. I mean, there were legitimately professional saying this

781
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:27,120
Speaker 1: is going to be a sleep. Let's there's no way

782
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:29,239
Speaker 1: that this happens, and then they take one at home

783
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:30,960
Speaker 1: and then you know, slit at the queue and so

784
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:33,239
Speaker 1: you think, okay, well maybe it ends in five. But

785
00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:35,320
Speaker 1: then the way that this thing has gone, like to

786
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:38,120
Speaker 1: watch them dig out of this three one hole and

787
00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:41,160
Speaker 1: we may be legitimately twenty years from now look back

788
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:43,239
Speaker 1: when there's a team in a three one halt and say, well,

789
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:44,840
Speaker 1: the only other team to ever do it was the

790
00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:47,600
Speaker 1: two thousand and sixteen Cavaliers led by Lebron James. So

791
00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:49,560
Speaker 1: I think that's been what's craziest to me is to

792
00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:52,560
Speaker 1: watch them actually do this when everybody counted them out,

793
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:57,399
Speaker 1: and and and between both arenas. And you you've you've

794
00:43:57,440 --> 00:43:59,080
Speaker 1: been like, I don't know if you've been to every

795
00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 1: single arena you know this season and through through you

796
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:05,360
Speaker 1: you know, your your your time with NBA. What's the

797
00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:08,960
Speaker 1: what's the craziest arena? Like, what's the most intense arena,

798
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:12,480
Speaker 1: what's the loudest arena? Who has the most volatile fans? Like?

799
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:16,480
Speaker 1: Breakdown the arenas for me? Yeah? Absolutely? Okay, well these

800
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:18,719
Speaker 1: two absolutely rank in the top. I mean, I would

801
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:20,719
Speaker 1: say to the top three as far as the Queue

802
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:23,719
Speaker 1: and Oracle Arena because it's like the hottest ticket in town.

803
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 1: That is what you're doing on a Tuesday night. You

804
00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:29,680
Speaker 1: are going to that basketball game. Another couple of cities

805
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:31,680
Speaker 1: that are like that, you know, you'd be surprised. The

806
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:36,200
Speaker 1: Memphis Grizzlies, Like, my goodness, those fans are bucks wild

807
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:39,120
Speaker 1: and they are there there early. They're partying on Beal Street.

808
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:41,560
Speaker 1: I'm talking to like a regular season game on a

809
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:45,680
Speaker 1: Thursday night when you got working morning. Memphis Grizzlies fans

810
00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:48,160
Speaker 1: are like that the same thing as Okay, see when

811
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:50,560
Speaker 1: you go to Oklahoma City, those fans are hype and

812
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:53,239
Speaker 1: their crazy and it's all weeks, all regular season, and

813
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:55,960
Speaker 1: that's crazy to me. Is you expect that kind of

814
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:58,680
Speaker 1: vibe like during the playoffs and especially during the finals

815
00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:01,080
Speaker 1: and everything, but you don't know, is therely expected like

816
00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:03,480
Speaker 1: on a Tuesday night, you know, in the middle of

817
00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:06,359
Speaker 1: the regular seas like in January. But those teams are

818
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:08,600
Speaker 1: like that same as you know, San Antonio, I would

819
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:12,399
Speaker 1: say that those fans are staying exact way. Seems like that.

820
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:15,640
Speaker 1: That yeah, absolutely. And by the way, the Cavaliers are

821
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:18,120
Speaker 1: all walking past me as we speak, so you will

822
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:21,840
Speaker 1: probably see me in the background of photographs of Lebron

823
00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:24,640
Speaker 1: James entering in the arena here on my phone talking

824
00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:27,319
Speaker 1: to you on the Michael Rappapor podcast, which I love.

825
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:30,000
Speaker 1: So they are all walking in as we speak. All right,

826
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:31,600
Speaker 1: all right, a right, just give me now to just

827
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:34,560
Speaker 1: give me breaking news, like what is he wearing? Like?

828
00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:36,680
Speaker 1: Is he wearing like? And do you think these suits

829
00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:39,240
Speaker 1: are like do you ever ask these guys like because

830
00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:42,560
Speaker 1: they never wear the same thing? Are they just one off?

831
00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:44,719
Speaker 1: Like they wear it and then they shred it? Like

832
00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:48,279
Speaker 1: what happens with these these clothes, Where did these things go? No,

833
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:51,040
Speaker 1: I actually have asked Russell Westbrook that before, because it's

834
00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:52,960
Speaker 1: like we've never seen you. It's not even in the

835
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:55,040
Speaker 1: same like piece, you know, like you don't even see him,

836
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:57,800
Speaker 1: were the same shirt twine, so that he actually donates

837
00:45:57,840 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 1: a lot of his clothes. I think a lot of

838
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:01,960
Speaker 1: these guys do the same thing. So I've asked a

839
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:03,960
Speaker 1: couple of them, like where do these things actually end

840
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 1: up going? A few guys, though, they end up getting

841
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:08,120
Speaker 1: their stuff to like teammates, Like I've watched a lot

842
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:10,320
Speaker 1: of these guys, even as I've been here in the finals,

843
00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:12,360
Speaker 1: guys asked Lebron like for his shoes, like, oh I

844
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:14,239
Speaker 1: could those shoes are high after the game, let me

845
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:15,800
Speaker 1: get him and he'll give them to his teammates. So

846
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:17,440
Speaker 1: it's kind of funny to watch, like sometimes they give

847
00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:19,239
Speaker 1: them away to their teammates. But I know a guy

848
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 1: like Russ ends up donating a lot of his clothes

849
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:24,120
Speaker 1: after he's worn up. Well, I think and Russell Westbrook,

850
00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:25,719
Speaker 1: you know, if there was an m v P of

851
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:28,960
Speaker 1: the playoffs, just in general, he he might be the

852
00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:31,000
Speaker 1: m v P of the just I mean that performance

853
00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:34,600
Speaker 1: during what was. It was incredible. But and and I

854
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:38,280
Speaker 1: mean this with no disrespect, but he should donate those clothes.

855
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:40,200
Speaker 1: But it's gonna be like he should send them far

856
00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:43,520
Speaker 1: away because nobody's gonna want to wear them a second time.

857
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:46,800
Speaker 1: Send them far far away. I agree, send them like

858
00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:49,640
Speaker 1: display I was. I was. I was a little bit disappointed.

859
00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:52,040
Speaker 1: And given I don't have a dog in this fight,

860
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:54,360
Speaker 1: all right, I'm an Orlando Magic fan. We were not

861
00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:56,960
Speaker 1: a part of this postseason, so trust me, I'm not

862
00:46:57,120 --> 00:46:59,719
Speaker 1: rooting for anybody either way. But when it got down

863
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:02,120
Speaker 1: to James seven of the Western Conference finals, I was like,

864
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:05,920
Speaker 1: oh man, we might see NBA finals Russell Westbrook and

865
00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:07,719
Speaker 1: I need to see that, you know, Like, I mean,

866
00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:10,680
Speaker 1: he was crushing and I love that. So I was

867
00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:12,239
Speaker 1: a little bit disappointed that we didn't be at to

868
00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:15,400
Speaker 1: see finals r us this year. Yeah, he's he's ridiculous.

869
00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:18,600
Speaker 1: I mean that that team, I mean, they have nothing

870
00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:20,920
Speaker 1: to be ashamed if they were incredible. I mean he

871
00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:23,680
Speaker 1: was incredible. He He's always been incredible. All right, christ

872
00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:25,440
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna let you go. I know you're in

Speaker 1: know you're from the Midwest, and you know I need

946
00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:33,520
Speaker 1: to preface this this by saying that Wood Harris is

947
00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:37,279
Speaker 1: a Chicago Bulls fan and the number seventy two means

948
00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:41,080

954
00:52:00,719 --> 00:52:04,640
Speaker 1: got suspended. It's it's it's kind of bullshit, but it

955
00:52:04,719 --> 00:52:07,560
Speaker 1: kind of ain't bullshit. Because that's how it goes, you

Speaker 1: time anybody ever got a unanimous chip, they gave it

962
00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:26,160
Speaker 1: to a one way player who can't do ship to

963
00:52:26,640 --> 00:52:29,080
Speaker 1: shoot three he's and ain't showed up for the playoffs

964
00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:32,279
Speaker 1: or the finals, to be honest with you, damn. So

965
00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:34,760
Speaker 1: that's the first car. It ain't the first time somebody

966
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:36,680
Speaker 1: got kicked out of a game or something like that

967
00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:40,960

1021
00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:37,879
Speaker 1: sing trumping. They might have to sell that franchise over

1022
00:55:38,560 --> 00:55:40,759
Speaker 1: this year. Now, let me just say that the balls

1023
00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:42,879
Speaker 1: are off to create two. And here's what I heard

1024
00:55:43,040 --> 00:55:46,040
Speaker 1: lastly about the Nixt, the relations to the next on

1025
00:55:46,080 --> 00:55:49,120
Speaker 1: the Bulls. You know what the Nicks talking about Kidd Rose?

1026
00:55:50,360 --> 00:55:52,480
Speaker 1: He rose, and you know what, that's a good fit.

1027
00:55:53,239 --> 00:55:55,400
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie, I said. If he played healthy,

1028
00:55:55,920 --> 00:55:59,839
Speaker 1: y'all got a start all of a sudden, right, Prezingers,

00:56:16,080 --> 00:56:17,719
Speaker 1: don't know who they get from. I don't know who

1035
00:56:17,760 --> 00:56:20,520
Speaker 1: they get for d Rose. I personally hope that it

1036
00:56:20,600 --> 00:56:24,440
Speaker 1: doesn't go through. Okay, because I like Derek Rose. I

1037

Speaker 1: met Derek Roy. Super cool. I talk with Derek Rose. Okay,

1038
00:56:27,520 --> 00:56:29,759
Speaker 1: I get down with the bulls, Jimmy Brola, Derrick Rose.

1039
00:56:30,360 --> 00:56:32,560
Speaker 1: I know that Joe King North wants to leave. I

1040
00:56:32,600 --> 00:56:38,479
Speaker 1: could see him ended up in um okay see yeah,

1041
00:56:38,760 --> 00:56:41,520
Speaker 1: okay see, or he could end up with Lebron. Or

1042
00:56:41,560 --> 00:56:44,920
Speaker 1: he could end up with the Warriors. You get an

1043
00:56:44,920 --> 00:56:46,839
Speaker 1: a warrior, which is good for him? Is he into

1044
00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:49,440
Speaker 1: a warrior because they don't need another scorer, they need

1045
00:56:49,440 --> 00:56:54,400
Speaker 1: an enforce that that's all it in. Dreymarond Green Claymon

1046
00:56:54,560 --> 00:56:57,160
Speaker 1: is my favorite player on it. Without Damarond Green Green

1047
00:56:57,480 --> 00:56:59,600
Speaker 1: doesn't look like a box of twinkies. Bro. And not

1048
00:56:59,680 --> 00:57:03,799
Speaker 1: just because they like skinning ha ha. Straight up, he's

1049
00:57:03,840 --> 00:57:06,720
Speaker 1: my favorite player on the squad, even though he played

1050
00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:09,480
Speaker 1: itself the other day. To me, he flopped to the ground.

1051
00:57:09,760 --> 00:57:11,279
Speaker 1: He didn't have to fall. I got a way two

1052
00:57:11,480 --> 00:57:14,760
Speaker 1: d thirty five pounds. The one one arm from Lebron

1053
00:57:14,880 --> 00:57:19,000
Speaker 1: will be making motherfucker's fly. Those arms are not normal.

00:57:19,160 --> 00:57:22,200
Speaker 1: We don't know, like those arms have never been injured before.

1055

00:57:32,680 --> 00:57:35,640
Speaker 1: talking here on the planet six eight and you're not

1059
00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:37,560

1063
00:57:49,600 --> 00:57:51,560
Speaker 1: and some way shape before him. Now, let me ask

1064
00:57:51,560 --> 00:57:54,240
Speaker 1: you a question. What's gonna happen. What's gonna happen if

1065
00:57:54,400 --> 00:57:58,320
Speaker 1: if if you're Cleveland Cavaliers, if they lose, Like, how

1066
00:57:58,480 --> 00:58:00,680
Speaker 1: devastating is that gonna be for you to have to

1067
00:58:00,800 --> 00:58:03,960
Speaker 1: accept that the Golden State Warriors have put together the

1068
00:58:04,080 --> 00:58:07,720
Speaker 1: single greatest season ever. I'm gonna tell you like this, okay,

1069
00:58:07,720 --> 00:58:09,160
Speaker 1: because you're trying to rub it in, I'm not. I'm

1070
00:58:09,160 --> 00:58:11,800
Speaker 1: gonna gonna take the high road. It's like a quote Lebron,

1071
00:58:13,200 --> 00:58:16,600
Speaker 1: Let me take the high road on you, like right now. Um,

1072
00:58:17,480 --> 00:58:20,880
Speaker 1: we'll see we're gonna come. They're gonna come and play hard.

1073
00:58:21,480 --> 00:58:24,080
Speaker 1: They're gonna put the chips on the table, your dig

1074
00:58:24,360 --> 00:58:27,320
Speaker 1: and round the dice. I'm putting munch ships or who

1075
00:58:27,440 --> 00:58:29,800
Speaker 1: is the greatest player that we have seen. Something. Michael

1076
00:58:29,840 --> 00:58:34,520
Speaker 1: Jordan's no doubt, no doubt, all root against him. He's

1077
00:58:34,560 --> 00:58:37,040
Speaker 1: a great guy too. I don't get this. Listen, you

1078
00:58:37,160 --> 00:58:39,840
Speaker 1: got personal ship. It's the people out there and the

1079
00:58:39,960 --> 00:58:46,480
Speaker 1: bloggers still without personal angst against Lebron because in an intimacy,

1080
00:58:47,080 --> 00:58:50,520
Speaker 1: in a published situation somewhere he did something. They are Okay,

1081
00:58:50,560 --> 00:58:53,600
Speaker 1: I'll understand that we're holding a grudge on this dude

1082
00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:56,480
Speaker 1: who is the ambassador to the NBA. You've been greater

1083
00:58:56,560 --> 00:58:59,920
Speaker 1: than all the rest of them. Work. It's up upstand,

1084
00:59:00,040 --> 00:59:03,160
Speaker 1: need to his family represented black coach in such a way,

1085
00:59:03,360 --> 00:59:07,040
Speaker 1: then got tattoos all the way behind his freaking under eyebrows,

1086
00:59:07,080 --> 00:59:09,280
Speaker 1: and they almost got him almost. He don't have him

1087
00:59:09,280 --> 00:59:12,880
Speaker 1: on his eyebrows, but he almost. Because that's his generation.

1088
00:59:12,960 --> 00:59:16,840
Speaker 1: You gotta to get you there once again. Probably something

1089
00:59:16,920 --> 00:59:21,280
Speaker 1: like that. All right, So yeah, this generation. But but

1090
00:59:21,560 --> 00:59:23,440
Speaker 1: but but let me just break this down to you.

1091
00:59:23,560 --> 00:59:26,200
Speaker 1: You do you think as great as Michael Jordan was

1092
00:59:27,080 --> 00:59:30,520
Speaker 1: that I was rooting for this motherfucker. Hell no, he

1093
00:59:30,760 --> 00:59:35,240
Speaker 1: killed my name. I'll never forgive him. Teen made susages

1094
00:59:35,280 --> 00:59:39,760
Speaker 1: out of the knicks, right, So it's not like, it's

1095
00:59:39,760 --> 00:59:41,720
Speaker 1: not like a personal thing. It's like, this is the

1096
00:59:41,760 --> 00:59:44,720
Speaker 1: way it is. I mean, when Larry Bird, I never

1097
00:59:44,840 --> 00:59:48,160
Speaker 1: even gave myself the room to appreciate Larry Bird. Now

1098
00:59:48,240 --> 00:59:50,600
Speaker 1: with Jordan, I would sometimes give myself the room to

1099
00:59:50,640 --> 00:59:54,120
Speaker 1: appreciate and and now and now Lebron, I definitely give

1100
00:59:54,160 --> 00:59:56,600
Speaker 1: myself to the room to appreciate him at times. That

1101
00:59:56,680 --> 00:59:58,800
Speaker 1: don't mean I have to root for this motherfucker. He

1102
00:59:58,920 --> 01:00:01,479
Speaker 1: was on the Miami Heat, which is a humorous rival

1103
01:00:01,600 --> 01:00:04,080
Speaker 1: for the New York Knicks, and then he bounced back

1104
01:00:04,200 --> 01:00:07,360
Speaker 1: and and and after hating the Miami Heat and hating

1105
01:00:07,400 --> 01:00:09,960
Speaker 1: how he went down there. I'm never gonna just be like, oh,

1106
01:00:10,080 --> 01:00:12,960
Speaker 1: now you're my guy. He that's the story it is.

1107
01:00:13,480 --> 01:00:16,040
Speaker 1: I understand that. I understand that I didn't have to

1108
01:00:16,120 --> 01:00:19,880
Speaker 1: do that. Though I'm ruting order basketball player. I like this.

1109
01:00:20,360 --> 01:00:26,600
Speaker 1: You know what number does most career and the only

1110
01:00:26,640 --> 01:00:31,000
Speaker 1: other number I like number six. That's sort of homage

1111
01:00:31,080 --> 01:00:37,640
Speaker 1: to the people who who means something. He's God. Of course,

1112
01:00:37,760 --> 01:00:39,800
Speaker 1: of course he's all these things. That don't mean I

1113
01:00:39,920 --> 01:00:41,720
Speaker 1: have to like him. That don't mean I have to

1114
01:00:41,800 --> 01:00:44,000
Speaker 1: root for them. And I'm not rooting for them, and

1115
01:00:44,080 --> 01:00:46,960
Speaker 1: I'm telling you right now, the authorities will be called.

1116
01:00:49,920 --> 01:00:52,880
Speaker 1: I'm no, I'm getting the restraining order. You can't get

1117
01:00:52,920 --> 01:00:55,640
Speaker 1: the restraining order against me. What I'm telling you right now, Tomorrow,

1118
01:00:55,720 --> 01:00:57,960

1153
01:02:45,320 --> 01:02:48,520
Speaker 1: I will say this so Curry, he is a family man,

1154
01:02:48,640 --> 01:02:51,840
Speaker 1: He looks good. He he had some new girls. Like these,

01:06:01,880 --> 01:06:03,720

01:06:13,160 --> 01:06:16,200
Speaker 1: got signed for it, and that's not gonna work. That's

1220
01:06:16,200 --> 01:06:20,040
Speaker 1: not gonna work. The best player in the world, there's

1221
01:06:20,080 --> 01:06:22,280
Speaker 1: a six ft a dude who got the most unique

1222
01:06:22,360 --> 01:06:24,800
Speaker 1: name you ever heard, Lebron. He's the only Lebron in

1223
01:06:24,880 --> 01:06:27,800
Speaker 1: the world. Okay, that guy has to show off. They

1224
01:06:27,840 --> 01:06:32,360

1226
01:06:36,320 --> 01:06:39,640
Speaker 1: It's curty toolson. You know why he played like a man.

1227
01:06:40,960 --> 01:06:43,960
Speaker 1: He plays like a man. Jay Manon plays with all

1228
01:06:44,120 --> 01:06:46,240
Speaker 1: hard and emotion. He like a fire up that ass.

1229
01:06:46,440 --> 01:06:48,400
Speaker 1: You're not going to rag every time you play it? Right,

1230
01:06:48,720 --> 01:06:51,360
Speaker 1: He's not. And I don't know that they need to

1231
01:06:51,440 --> 01:06:54,440
Speaker 1: beat on the rag, but you know he's played. He's

1232
01:06:54,480 --> 01:06:59,680
Speaker 1: like killing gon Net without that skill set. That's a

1233
01:06:59,680 --> 01:07:03,200
Speaker 1: good analogy. I like that. I mean I want Dreymard. Listen,

1234
01:07:03,280 --> 01:07:06,120
Speaker 1: he's my favorite play his last favorite. Then comes Dre

1235
01:07:06,320 --> 01:07:10,000
Speaker 1: then comes stuff. Because studis overrated. They put the burden

1236
01:07:10,080 --> 01:07:12,840
Speaker 1: of the world on this little dude who grew up

1237
01:07:12,920 --> 01:07:17,480
Speaker 1: with his daddy. You hate the fucking players. You hate

1238
01:07:17,520 --> 01:07:20,440
Speaker 1: the players. Don't say something you hate the players who

1239
01:07:20,440 --> 01:07:22,920
Speaker 1: whose fathers are in the NBA. Just say that across

1240
01:07:22,960 --> 01:07:27,040
Speaker 1: the board, say say fuck Tim Hardaway Jr. Said Clay Thompson,

1241
01:07:27,200 --> 01:07:31,439
Speaker 1: the Clay Thompson. His daddy was Michael Thompson. I don't

1242
01:07:31,480 --> 01:07:35,120
Speaker 1: have a Paul McClay Tompson. You know why, because he's underrated.

1243
01:07:35,880 --> 01:07:41,120
Speaker 1: He's actually underrated. He plays defense, he said, the vissive juggernaut,

1244
01:07:41,640 --> 01:07:44,240
Speaker 1: and he gets as many threes as necessary to win.

1245
01:07:44,680 --> 01:07:46,600
Speaker 1: And he showed up in the finals, and he showed

1246
01:07:46,680 --> 01:07:49,000
Speaker 1: up in the They wouldn't be in the finals if

1247
01:07:49,040 --> 01:07:51,320
Speaker 1: it wasn't for Clay Thompson. Not damn. But that's but

1248
01:07:51,400 --> 01:07:53,400
Speaker 1: that's a it's a team game. That's like saying the

1249
01:07:53,760 --> 01:07:58,400
Speaker 1: War the Cavaliers wouldn't be in Game six if um

1250
01:07:59,040 --> 01:08:01,280
Speaker 1: Ky Rea didn't go for forty went along with Lebron.

01:11:36,520 --> 01:11:46,519
Speaker 1: that Lebron James has collectively over the longest period of time.

1299
01:11:48,200 --> 01:11:54,719
Speaker 1: It's not the greatest, one of the greatest individual careers

1382
01:17:31,800 --> 01:17:35,800

1387
01:17:49,640 --> 01:17:53,719
Speaker 1: He was incredible. I've been I've been in his ass

1388
01:17:55,080 --> 01:17:57,240

1393
01:18:12,880 --> 01:18:16,120
Speaker 1: cannot say shit. He can. I can't say ship now

1394
01:18:16,240 --> 01:18:18,840
Speaker 1: he can. If he wanted to leave, he could bounce.

1395
01:18:19,520 --> 01:18:22,120
Speaker 1: Why would he leave. He's not gonna go anywhere. He's't

1396
01:18:22,120 --> 01:18:25,760
Speaker 1: gonna leave, you know, he he may go back to Miami. No,

1397
01:18:25,960 --> 01:18:29,040
Speaker 1: he's not gonna leave. He's not going anywhere. Listen, your

1398
01:18:29,080 --> 01:18:31,519
Speaker 1: little prediction about the dem winning is right. He ain't

1399
01:18:31,560 --> 01:18:34,200
Speaker 1: going nowhere, man, He's not gonna leave. Why would he leave.

1400
01:18:35,400 --> 01:18:37,599
Speaker 1: Why would he want to leave. His family lives out there,

1401
01:18:38,080 --> 01:18:40,320
Speaker 1: His wife loves it, his kids love it there in school.

1402
01:18:40,360 --> 01:18:42,280
Speaker 1: They're at the age you can't just be shipping around

1403
01:18:42,320 --> 01:18:44,560
Speaker 1: these little kids. He ain't going nowhere. He might go

1404
01:18:44,680 --> 01:18:47,559
Speaker 1: somewhere in a few years when you know that team

1405
01:18:47,680 --> 01:18:49,439
Speaker 1: changes and you know he gets towards the end of

1406
01:18:49,479 --> 01:18:52,880
Speaker 1: his career, but he ain't going nowhere. For He's gonna

1407
01:18:52,920 --> 01:18:55,719
Speaker 1: finish the prime of his career in Cleveland, mark my words.

1408
01:18:55,880 --> 01:18:58,920
Speaker 1: He might do the last two or three years somewhere else,

1409
01:18:59,280 --> 01:19:01,960
Speaker 1: who knows where it will be, but he d way

1410
01:19:02,000 --> 01:19:04,719
Speaker 1: has only got a few more miles left. And whatever.

1411
01:19:05,720 --> 01:19:10,080
Speaker 1: Steph Curry, wait, let me let me Steph. He he

1412
01:19:10,479 --> 01:19:13,040
Speaker 1: made the biggest shot of the game for the Warriors.

1413
01:19:13,080 --> 01:19:15,080
Speaker 1: He tied it up in eighty with the three, and

1414
01:19:15,160 --> 01:19:18,599
Speaker 1: then he shot one that was ridiculous and he made

1415
01:19:18,640 --> 01:19:23,040
Speaker 1: that turnover. And we love Stephire. I just he just

1416
01:19:23,160 --> 01:19:26,400
Speaker 1: made some fucking bad, bad play. Some careless plays. He

1417
01:19:26,520 --> 01:19:28,320
Speaker 1: tried to get that three at the end. I felt

1418
01:19:28,360 --> 01:19:30,320
Speaker 1: like that was out of character because usually he doesn't

1419
01:19:30,400 --> 01:19:33,839
Speaker 1: force or or look down to have to take shots.

1420
01:19:34,400 --> 01:19:37,840
Speaker 1: Clay could have taken a shot. He he funked up.

1421
01:19:37,880 --> 01:19:42,080
Speaker 1: What can I say? Still love him hard body karate,

1422
01:19:42,360 --> 01:19:47,240
Speaker 1: but what can I say? Lebron statement like I'm the

1423
01:19:47,439 --> 01:19:52,120
Speaker 1: m v P. It's me, look at me. Lebron showed

1424
01:19:52,240 --> 01:19:56,599
Speaker 1: his ass out there and he solidified his place still

1425
01:19:57,600 --> 01:20:01,960
Speaker 1: as the number one player in the world. I can't

1426
01:20:02,080 --> 01:20:05,400
Speaker 1: argue with you. I just don't like that, Like you're

1427
01:20:05,520 --> 01:20:08,200
Speaker 1: so fucking up your own ass, Like you're so like

1431
01:20:17,400 --> 01:20:20,320
Speaker 1: the personna of a Chicago Bulls fan. So this guy

1432
01:20:20,479 --> 01:20:22,880
Speaker 1: that it's on the other end of the phone, uh

1433
01:20:23,000 --> 01:20:27,200
Speaker 1: G Monetti, G Moody, blah blah blah, all your fucking

1434
01:20:27,240 --> 01:20:33,479
Speaker 1: little monikers. This guy's a rogue fan. Okay, Um, I'm like,

1437
01:20:41,600 --> 01:20:45,280

1438
01:20:45,439 --> 01:20:48,800
Speaker 1: is racing. I'm all funked up in the game over here.

1439
01:20:49,760 --> 01:20:53,000
Speaker 1: I can't I can't remember Monetti. The last time, I

1440
01:20:53,120 --> 01:20:56,200
Speaker 1: think the last time that I was this fucked up

1441
01:20:56,280 --> 01:20:58,519
Speaker 1: over a game. I don't remember what year it was.

1442
01:20:58,840 --> 01:21:02,560
Speaker 1: It was when the Giants beat the sixteen and o

1443
01:21:03,080 --> 01:21:05,800
Speaker 1: eighteen and no was eighteen and o or nineteen to

1444
01:21:05,880 --> 01:21:09,160
Speaker 1: know that they were eighteen or nineteen to no New

1445
01:21:09,200 --> 01:21:11,360
Speaker 1: England Patriots. I think that was the last time I

1446

Speaker 1: was this funked up over a game, and and and

1447
01:21:14,560 --> 01:21:17,719

1448
01:21:17,840 --> 01:21:21,200
Speaker 1: of the game, I haven't been this flipped out or

1449
01:21:21,400 --> 01:21:24,240
Speaker 1: I think that the the the the the the nine

1450
01:21:24,320 --> 01:21:28,200
Speaker 1: eleven Yankees run in the World Series that sucked me

1451
