Speaker 3: and they're not great.

10
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:36,919
Speaker 4: The All Star numbers for one Lebron James, Lebron Jamesbron James,

11
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:38,880
Speaker 4: Lebron James.

12
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,199
Speaker 5: This might be the worst birthday president in the history.

13
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 3: Of today's birthday for forty one years of Happy Birthday, Low,

14
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 3: I was gonna say fifty one.

15
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:51,200
Speaker 1: Wow, forty one Yeah, well listen, depending on the play,

16
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: he looks fifty one.

17
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 3: There are some plays out there. That's the only reason

18
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 3: I Saiday can't move.

19
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 5: And that might primarily be the reason why. For his

20
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 5: forty first birthday, he was gifted the latest the first

21
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 5: edition of the NBA All Star Game voting and Lebron James,

22
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 5: arguably the greatest player in NBA history. What could be

23
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 5: his final season in the NBA. We're expecting the retirement tour,

24
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 5: the Kobe Bryant. They don't love you like that. You

25
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 5: don't get the kind of love. Apparently Lebron don't get

26
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 5: the kind of love because he's finishing right now fifteenth

27
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 5: in NBA All Star voting behind such superstars as Trailblazers

28
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 5: forward Denny Avjia Kazunti.

29
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 3: Who who is right?

30
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:32,839
Speaker 1: Who?

31
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 5: So if the voting in it today, they have this

32
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 5: weird process. Maybe he gets in, maybe he doesn't. But

33
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 5: the idea that Lebron James could not be voted in

34
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 5: the NBA All Star Game for the first time in

35
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 5: over twenty years very real.

36
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,119
Speaker 3: I got a message for Lebron James. Is this on?

37
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 4: It's on, Lebron James, give the fans a middle finger,

38
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 4: oh my. And if they do you somehow get in,

39
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 4: like by the skin of your two, do not show up,

40
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 4: do not partake? How dare they disrespect you? And what

41
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:11,799
Speaker 4: could possibly be your last year? This is just an exhibition.

42
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 4: This ain't no real basketball. It's an exhibition.

43
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,679
Speaker 3: And worse, it's in Los Angeles the All Star Game.

44
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 4: I know it's into a dome, right, but it's in

45
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 4: Los Angeles, So fans could look at this and go, well,

46
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 4: this could be his last one. It's in LA. Let's,

47
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 4: you know, do this for his lifetime achievement. It ain't

48
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 4: like that. If this was we put the best numbers

49
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 4: in the computer and they give you a number and

50
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,239
Speaker 4: those are the people make the All Star then fine,

51
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 4: he doesn't belong there an exhibition game. Do you know

52
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 4: that when Magic Johnson wasn't in the league, the league

53
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 4: put Magic Johnson in the All Star Game?

54
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 3: I covered it in Orlando three Yeah, yeah, after the HIV.

55
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 4: But but my point is, if you're Lebron, you should

56
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 4: not really be thrilled about what this is, how this

57
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 4: is transpired, because it ain't that real. And the idea

58
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 4: that they're really going to vote who's the guy you

59
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 4: just said, rob g who's ahead of them? Seriously something

60
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 4: Yuku from Portland? I don't know, but you get my point, Like,

61
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 4: really is that what we are?

62
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 3: Come on?

63
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 6: Man?

64
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 4: So, if I'm Lebron James, no matter what, if I

65
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 4: skin on my teeth or whatever, do not and ot participate.

66
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 4: Thank you very much for being this disrespectful after all

67
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 4: these years. Yes, I'm here telling Lebron James do not

68
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 4: partake in the All Star Game.

69
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: First of all, what in the world are you doing

70
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: defiting Lebron? I take a few days off and I

71
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: don't know who you are. The heck is this thing on?

72
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 3: Is that Ron Parker? Next? What is going on?

73
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: I'll say this, this is what I don't even know

74
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: what we're doing right now. You say, I don't ever

75
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: talk about Lebron, Wrong.

76
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 3: Nagg it.

77
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: If this can happen to Michael Jordan, this can happen

78
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: to Lebron.

79
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 3: This happened to Michael Jordan. Fans did not vote him in.

80
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: Of course, the coaches put him in and they put

81
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: throw him in the game, and Vince Carter Isaiah Thomas

82
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: has to convince him. Hey, fans, come on, man, you

83
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: know Michael Jordan's last game. Let him start? Okay, cool,

84
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: no produt you know? And he let him start. My

85
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 1: point is Michael Jordan is Michael Jordan, and it happened

86
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,160
Speaker 1: to him Lebron, and you know how I feel about him.

87
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 1: He ain't that and this can happen to him. It's

88
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,039
Speaker 1: possible for anybody. So to me, I don't view it

89
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 1: as as the indictment on the fans. I think it's

90
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 1: just where we are. He's missed a bunch of games

91
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:44,840
Speaker 1: already this season, I think fourteen of them.

92
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 4: Did you hear the difference between the person that you

93
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 4: mentioned in place of Michael Jordan compared to the guy

94
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 4: who's in front of him now from Portland, from the Trailblazer.

95
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 3: I did, Okay? I did, okay? And I mean one

96
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 3: of us if we played who he played for? Could

97
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 3: name him again? Okay? Can't. I don't know his name.

98
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 3: I don't know who that is it's And.

99
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 1: Maybe if he played all the games, we might be

100
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: having a different thing because you've seen more. Maybe there's

101
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: more plays you can remember all that. Donk he did this,

102
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:12,919
Speaker 1: But I don't take it as an old, big indictment.

103
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,039
Speaker 1: But what I think is gonna happen where I kinda

104
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: will meet you halfway. I think Lebron might announce retirement

105
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: at the All Star Game. That would be Lebron of

106
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: Lebron to go be a little disgrunted didn't get voted

107
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:27,679
Speaker 1: in by the fans.

108
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 3: After all, I've done for you twenty something seasons. Just

109
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 3: what I am?

110
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: You know, da da da da, And then to take

111
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: the moment, hey, Lebron, you know what, not starting, you're

112
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:37,359
Speaker 1: not playing the game right now, but what an honor

113
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 1: you know you're in. The coaches put you in interviewing

114
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:43,359
Speaker 1: him so many years, and I could totally see him saying,

115
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: you know, well, you know, yeah, I appreciate the fans

116
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 1: here to let the young boys do what they do.

117
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: And by the way, you know, it's good because it's

118
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: gonna be my last one. I can because it's happening

119
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,160
Speaker 1: in LA. Because the way the offseason win and the

120
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: Lakers and him having some you know, little disagreements and all.

121
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 3: That, knowing the future is Luca dan Get.

122
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 1: The fans are saying, we'd rather have Austin Reeves than you,

123
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: or we'd rather trade you to go get such and such.

124
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: I could see Lebron making this moment taking I'm gonna

125
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: take a moment.

126
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:09,839
Speaker 3: You don't want to give me this moment.

127
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take this whole entire All Star moment in

128
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 1: LA and announcestand that's what I can say.

129
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 4: No, I think the best way for Lebron is to

130
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:20,799
Speaker 4: snub everybody, the NBA, the fans, all this other stuff,

131
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 4: to let them know that I see what you've done.

132
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 4: Here the idea that this could be my last All

133
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 4: Star game, and I'm still playing at the numbers that

134
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:35,479
Speaker 4: they put up, that he puts up and All Star numbers. Okay,

135
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:39,840
Speaker 4: the numbers, this is what these numbers. I'm still doing

136
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 4: it at a high level at this age. Whatever you want,

137
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 4: you know, which one is it?

138
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 3: I mean? And and I just think that to me.

139
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,679
Speaker 4: Rather than going along with it and kind of going

140
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:56,599
Speaker 4: there as a parting gift. And the tail tuck between

141
00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:02,359
Speaker 4: your legs is totally different then, because Michael Jordan was

142
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 4: on the Wizards, a bad Wizards team, you know what

143
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 4: I mean, that didn't even make the playoffs the two

144
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 4: years he was there. Lebron's on his team with Luca.

145
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 4: Look at the look at the numbers for Luca. Luca's

146
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 4: in the top. Of course he could be a starter.

147
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 4: So those same Laker fans decided not to vote for Lebron. Well, okay,

148
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 4: the other way. They decided to vote for Luca and

149
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 4: Austin Reeds. No, but they decided they could also vote

150
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 4: for Lebron as well, and they decided not to.

151
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 3: Okay, And the other part is we're all his minions.

152
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 4: We're all these people who will they won't wear his sneakers,

153
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 4: but they'll die at the barbershop about Lebron James. Where

154
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 4: are those people that he would be so far down?

155
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 4: He's still viable, He's still I remember last postseason, I

156
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 4: wouldn't want to see Lebron and Luca. I'm telling you

157
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 4: how well I would look at these teams. Who would

158
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 4: you'd rather take Lebron? And that was just last year.

159
00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 4: And now they don't even think he could play in

160
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 4: an exhibition game. Come on, it was all good just

161
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 4: a week ago.

162
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 1: Like jay Z said, I just think it's all like

163
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: the Rams who had the top spire.

164
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:07,960

166
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 1: about the un just telling you all right, no, But

167
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: I just think, yeah, I think it's happened to Jordan,

168
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 1: it can clearly happen in Lebron. And also I just

169
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: will be I keep an eye on him that weekend.

170
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: That would be very Lebron. Of Lebron to take that

171
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 1: moment in LA and make it about him. I could

172
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:26,120

Speaker 8: Go ahead, go ahead.

208
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 1: Well, I was gonna start with something we talked about earlier,

209
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 1: Lebron being fifteenth currently in voting. Uh and and and

210
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 1: kind of what that means is to say anything I said.

211
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: I mean, it happened to Jordan his last year with

212
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:17,320
Speaker 1: the Wizards. If it can happen to Jordan, it can

213
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,199
Speaker 1: happen to anybody, Lebron said, And Rob said, blank them

214
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 1: fans Lebron, that's right.

215
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 4: I would give them the middle finger. And I wouldn't go.

216
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 4: I wouldn't show up. I'd said, this is what you're

217
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 4: gonna do. The All Star Game is in LA. I

218
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,559
Speaker 4: don't even know the guy from Portland who's ahead of

219
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 4: Lebron in the voting.

220
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 3: I don't even know who that is. I'm just.

221
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 8: Denny. I DA right now. Was probably the league's most

222
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 8: improved player, if the most improved Player like we're voting

223
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 8: on today, Dinny at Bia will probably winning that award.

224
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 4: Okay, here's my point though, this is this is Lebron

225
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 4: James in an exhibition the world against the United States.

226
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,559
Speaker 3: Correct, it's an exhibition. It's not correct.

227
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 4: It ain't it ain't a If it's it's just about stats,

228
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 4: we wouldn't have fans voting, right, we wouldn't.

229
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 3: It would be Okay, let's put the stats in.

230
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 4: Here's your war number that they do in baseball, and

231
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 4: people with the best war are going to make this team.

232
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 3: That's not what we're doing here.

233
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,680
Speaker 4: And and that's the part that I can't understand that

234
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,719
Speaker 4: people really have turned on Lebron from this standpoint.

235
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 8: Oh, no question.

236
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 3: I mean, that's that's about it. That's all I'm saying.

237
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:28,439
Speaker 8: Yes, I I and and and one hundred see what

238
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 8: I'm saying, Rob, I agree with everything you're saying one

239
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 8: hundred percent. But you could have said everything that you

240
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 8: just said without discrediting the year that Denny Aby is having. Okay,

241
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 8: this is one of the reasons for me, This is

242
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 8: one of the reasons for me. I wasn't on board

243
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 8: with the whole USA versus the world there, thank you.

244
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 3: I'm with that.

245
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 8: This is one of the reasons I wasn't on board

246
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 8: with it because now you have guys that are making

247
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 8: the All Star Game, and you have guys they should

248
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 8: make the All Star Game that aren't going to make it.

249
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 8: But I will say this though, Rob, honestly, let let's

250
00:11:59,200 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 8: keep it a buck here.

251
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 3: Okay.

252
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 8: Is Lebron an All Star so far?

253
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 3: No? No, he's not.

254
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 8: Okay, right, So so, I mean I understand exactly what

255
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 8: you're saying, because realistically speaking, the All Star Game is.

256
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 4: A popularity that's all it is.

257
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 3: That That is my point. That that's my point.

258
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 4: It was like a couple of years ago a d

259
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 4: where they gave players a chance to vote, and one

260
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 4: hundred and twenty five players didn't vote Lebron for the

261
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 4: All Star I mean, like, seriously, where are we?

262
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 8: That's that's different like that that's personal, right, That's what

263
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 8: I'm sure.

264
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 3: But I'm just saying, it's it's an exhibition. That that's

265
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:36,959
Speaker 3: what it is.

266
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 4: I'm surprised you and it being in LA, like that's

267
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 4: the other part.

268
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 3: It's in LA.

269
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 8: I'm with it, Okay, I will tell you this. That's

270
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 8: not where I thought you guys were going to start,

271
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 8: all right, Yeah, y'all got me.

272
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 3: Where we're going to start? Tell me, yeah, tell us.

273
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 8: With the whole Are you okay with the sixty five

274
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:02,719
Speaker 8: game threshold thing? Because Nikola Jokis got hurt? Oh yeah,

275
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 8: now now it's the talking point.

276
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: That's our that's on our list. We got that coming

277
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 1: up next hour. Yeah, that's on our list. You give

278
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 1: us our openion on if you want to. Now, where

279
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 1: are you right?

280
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 8: I've always been onble Forward. I was calling for this

281
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 8: years ago, years before they put this in place. I

282
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 8: was calling for it, plain and simple because you know,

283
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 8: it's amazing to me how we'd say one thing and

284
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 8: then something goes wrong and then we want to go back.

285
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 8: Like before it was sixty five games, everybody was mad

286
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 8: for players for not playing, and you know what they said,

287
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 8: you know what, you got to put something in place

288
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 8: so players are held accountable for showing up, players are

289
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 8: held accountable for being available. Then they put something in place.

290
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 8: Now a couple guys get hurt. Now, well, you know what,

291
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 8: maybe this isn't the best idea. No it is, because

292
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 8: you should like, being available is a thing, and it

293
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 8: should be a thing. God can't control injuries. You can't

294
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 8: control injury. I am on board with the sixty five

295
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 8: game cut off. What I'm not on board with, and

296
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:09,319
Speaker 8: I never have been on board with, is a guy's

297
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 8: contract being tied to making all NBA or all defensive

298
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 8: all of that. That's what I'm not okay with.

299
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 3: All right, you know what?

300
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 4: And in baseball, I want to go here, Okay, you

301
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 4: want to win the batting title, right, you need they

302
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 4: have the number, And I think it's fair so that

303
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 4: the guy can't win the batting title and he played

304
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 4: one hundred games and Aaron Judge played one hundred and

305
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 4: forty nine games, you know what I mean? So you

306
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 4: need three point one played appearances per schedule game. If

307
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 4: you don't have that, you can't winqualify. You don't qualify.

308
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 4: And here's the only other caveat that they throwing with

309
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 4: the baseball one. Say you were ten games short of

310
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 4: the number that you need. If they put Zeros in

311
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 4: for those ten games and you still had a higher

312
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 4: bat average, then you could win it. Do you know

313
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 4: what I mean? I like, to me, that's fair because

314
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 4: we don't know what you would have known. We can't

315
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 4: exactly what if we give you zeros and you still

316
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 4: have a high batter the next guy.

317
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 8: Yeah, so let's let's let's apply that to Let's apply

318
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 8: that to the NBA. Let's say a guy plays forty

319
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 8: three games, right, and now for the next twenty two games,

320
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 8: you give him all the rows across the board.

321
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 3: Right.

322
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 8: How do you think that looks right?

323
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 1: But that would look crazy in the NBA is different. Yeah,

324
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 1: the NBA is a whole different. It's a different game.

325
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 1: You one person controls way more than you can in

326
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 1: base And.

327
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 4: I don't know if I don't know if if if

328
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 4: Antonio I told you this before, and maybe I did

329
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 4: because Kelvin likes it and I've seen other people like

330
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 4: on Twitter, I said, to really curtail people from doing that.

331
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 4: And it's not a problem as much as it was

332
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 4: where people sitting out games and resting or whatever.

333
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 3: Is It's real simple. You can you can go out.

334
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 4: Or whatever, you fake it injury or say, you know whatever,

335
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 4: but you have to miss a minimum of three games.

336
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 8: I've been saying that too.

337
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 3: Okay, you missed three games and that's it.

338
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 4: So so you can't take that easy game off in

339
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 4: some city because you would have to miss the next

340
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 4: two games at least, and if you're really injured, you're

341
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 4: giving time to get well. I'm not We're not judging

342
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 4: and telling you you're not injured. So if you're injured,

343
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 4: you got to go on the injured list and miss

344
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 4: at least three games.

345
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 3: That would stop people or if they don't have.

346
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 4: Their an injury or whatever like that, you have to

347
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 4: get zero's in your stat line. Do you know what

348
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 4: that would do to your career averages? And you start

349
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 4: adding zero.

350
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 3: Very conscious of that. That's why they don't play. Fans

351
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 3: ask that all the time.

352
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 4: Why don't they just play ten or twelve minutes and

353
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 4: get out the game because their stats will go down.

354
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 8: Do you remember the old injury list?

355
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 3: Yes, I do, where.

356
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 8: You miss a game and you had to believe I

357
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 8: believe it was five games that they.

358
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 3: Put you on if they put you on the injured list.

359
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 8: So they put you on the injured list, and you

360
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 8: missed that game and you had to miss the next.

361
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 3: Force that's how it should be game, and then.

362
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 8: You had to you had to sit out the next tour.

363
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 8: Like the thing is, if if guys were playing, and

364
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:20,959
Speaker 8: if organization held guys accountable and we're playing guys that

365
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,639
Speaker 8: are healthy when they're actually available, we wouldn't even be

366
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:24,880
Speaker 8: at this point, right and we.

367
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 1: Wouldn't have had to come up with the sixty five

368
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 1: because it would have just been was injured.

369
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 3: I believe that was injured.

370
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 8: Yeah, so you can't. You can't act like this thing

371
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 8: just came from nowhere. No, you know what I mean.

372
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:37,679
Speaker 8: They didn't just come out with sixty five games from nowhere.

373
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 8: They came out sixty five games because they felt like

374
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 8: they needed to do something to hold players accountable for

375
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 8: not being available. And this isn't this is the heel

376
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 8: I will I don't care who gets injured. I don't

377
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 8: care what first, second, third team look like. I don't

378
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 8: care who wins the MVP all of that stuff. I

379
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 8: will always be in favor of giving guys credit that

380
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 8: are available more than guys that aren't, no doubt.

381
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 3: What's the biggest surprise to you so far in the

382
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:04,919
Speaker 3: NBA season?

383
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:06,640
Speaker 8: If you had to Detroit Pistons.

384
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,919
Speaker 3: Okay, say that again. My phone The phone was one

385
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 3: more time because we couldn't I hear five. Yeah, I

386
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 3: was gonna ask that you. I'm going to that game

387
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 3: against the Lakers. What what I mean.

388
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,919
Speaker 8: The thing is, it's the biggest surprise. We knew that

389
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:24,920
Speaker 8: they would be they would be competitive after the way

390
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:28,159
Speaker 8: that they ended last year. Take Cunningham is trajecting in

391
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 8: the right direction, but for them to be second in

392
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 8: the Eastern Conference, I mean first in the Eastern Conference.

393
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 8: Like at this point of the year, the year's almost

394
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 8: half over. We're not talking about a small samples idea.

395
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 8: We're not talking about ten or fifteen games.

396
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:43,879
Speaker 4: You got them in the conference, you got them in

397
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 4: the Eastern Conference Finals.

398
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 8: I would not be surprised. I wouldn't be surprised.

399
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 4: I want you to make a pick yes or no

400
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:54,199
Speaker 4: right now. If I asked you, will the Pistons just

401
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 4: from what you see and you say not a small

402
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 4: sample size?

403
00:18:56,600 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 3: Will the Pistons be in the Eastern Conference Finals? Yes

404
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 3: or no? That's all I want. Yes or no, that's

405
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:04,440
Speaker 3: all I want right now.

406
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 8: Rob, I'll say yes. But you know that's the wrong

407
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 8: question to ask in December.

408
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 3: No, I'm just asking. I know there's a long way

409
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 3: to go.

410
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 8: I'm gonna tell you all right. Number one because it

411
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 8: is a long way to go, and number two because

412
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 8: it's a lot of trade that's gonna happen prior to

413
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 8: the trade deadline.

414
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 3: Ya movement, that's still going to happen, Okay. I just

415
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 3: want to hear what you are on that it will

416
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 3: be okay.

417
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 8: I would be okay picking the Detrade Pistons to go

418
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 8: to the Eastern Conference Finals. By what I've seen.

419
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 3: So far, Nick's Pistons will be great.

420
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 4: I want you to know, uh that before the football

421
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:39,639
Speaker 4: season started, he did not ask you this, So I

422
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 4: just want to tell him that too. I said that

423
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 4: the Lions would not make the playoffs and the Chiefs

424
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 4: would not make the playoffs.

425
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 3: I ain't wish a merry Christmas.

426
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 4: And I'm gonna sit here right now and I'll bet

427
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,120
Speaker 4: Kelvin a paired another pair of Jordan's that the Pistons

428
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 4: will not nt be in the Eastern Conference.

429
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:00,360
Speaker 3: We will talk the day with that.

430
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 8: That's trade, Yeah, Rob, that's not that's not the same.

431
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,639
Speaker 8: That's not the same. Like saying they won't be in

432
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:10,159
Speaker 8: the Eastern Conference finals. That's not saying much did they

433
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 8: make Why it's still a successful season.

434
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 3: I didn't say that the season wouldn't be successful.

435
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 4: I'm talking about what that would they take a leak

436
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:20,919
Speaker 4: from not winning a playoff series in fifteen years to

437
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 4: go into the Eastern Conference Finals.

438
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 3: No, okay, that's what I'm saying, Antonio.

439
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 8: When was the last time they won? Rob with the

440
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 8: Pistons being where they make the.

441
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 4: Second round, they could make the second round depending on

442
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:34,440
Speaker 4: the mat show.

443
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:36,439
Speaker 8: No, no, no, Rob, I'm gonna do what you did.

Speaker 5: Yeah, this is the gift that keeps on giving in

457
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 5: the world of college sports. This all kind of started well,

458
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:15,920
Speaker 5: started years ago over be honest, but this really has

459
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 5: hit a crest in the last week and a half.

460
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 5: And that is because on Christmas Eve, Baylor announced that

461
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 5: they would be signing the thirty first pick in the

462
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 5: twenty twenty three NBA draft, a young man by the

463
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 5: name of James Naji. To their active roster. The reason

464
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 5: why this is important is because even though Nausey was

465
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 5: drafted thirty first overall, he played in the NBA Summer League.

466
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 5: In fact, he was part of the Karl Anthony Towns

467
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:46,719
Speaker 5: trade that sent him to the Knicks. He never actually

468
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 5: played in an NBA game, and he spent the last

469
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 5: five years instead playing in the EuroLeague, which means, in

470
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 5: a roundabout way, because he never actually played in the NBA,

471
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:01,880
Speaker 5: he is eligible maintained is eligibility to play in college.

472
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:05,640
Speaker 5: This has led a number of college coaches to get

473
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 5: real up in arms about it. Last week it was

474
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 5: Tom Izzo. Earlier today it was John Calipari. Take a

475
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:13,400
Speaker 5: listen to coach cal on the subject.

476
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 6: Well, look, I don't blame coaches. You know, I've got

477
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,119
Speaker 6: friends that are playing with twenty seven year olds and

478
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 6: they feel bad. I said, don't feel bad. We don't

479
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 6: have any rules. Why should you feel bad? But let

480
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 6: me give you this real simple. The rules bes the rules.

481
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 6: So if you put your name in the draft, I

482
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 6: don't care if you're from Russia and you stay in

483
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 6: the draft, you can't play college basketball. Well that's only

484
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:49,439
Speaker 6: for American kids. What if your name is in that

485
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:53,880
Speaker 6: draft and you got drafted, you can't play because that's

486
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 6: our rule. Yeah, but that's only for American kids. Okay, Okay,

487
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 6: now here's the next lawsuit. Well, we don't have a

488
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,359
Speaker 6: say over European players. You do if they're playing in

489
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 6: college basketball. So that means you don't have a say

490
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 6: over high school kids. So whatever a high school kid

491
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 6: does before he comes here, don't you do one thing

492
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 6: because there's a suit, Because what you're saying is if

493
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:22,199
Speaker 6: he's in Europe, we don't have the same rules.

494
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 3: All right, Rob, Do you have an update from the.

495
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:27,639
Speaker 5: Yeah, so this clip obviously went viral. We'll get to

496
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:29,640
Speaker 5: here in a second. But in the wake of this,

497
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:34,119
Speaker 5: the NCUBLEA has released a statement with regards to the

498
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 5: whole situation. NCAA President Charlie Baker says, in part quote,

499
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 5: the NCUBLEA has not and will not grant eligibility to

500
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:46,919
Speaker 5: any prospective or returning student athletes who have signed an

501
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 5: NBA contract. This includes a two way contract. Somehow, some way,

502
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,159
Speaker 5: Nagi's in the gray area where he got neither, so

503
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:54,880
Speaker 5: he's eligible.

504
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:58,400
Speaker 4: Okay, And I'm gonna say this, Kelvin. These coaches are

505
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:02,359
Speaker 4: such hypocrites, they really are. And what they used to

506
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 4: do the kids was they used to punish kids who

507
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:09,399
Speaker 4: wanted to enter the draft, even if they didn't have

508
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 4: an agent, or even if they didn't get drafted. You

509
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:14,680
Speaker 4: know what they used to tell those kids, tough luck,

510
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 4: you cannot come back to college basketball.

511
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 3: Why not?

512
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 4: They didn't have an agent and they weren't drafted. They

513
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:26,200
Speaker 4: thought their stock was higher. They didn't get drafted. Why

514
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,959
Speaker 4: shouldn't you be able to come back. It was punishment.

515
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 4: It was trying to scare the kids from trying to

516
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 4: better themselves and taking a chance in life. And now

517
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 4: the whole idea is to punish this kid hasn't played.

518
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,640
Speaker 3: You could play around the NBA. When you go look

519
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 3: in the NBA stats and ask a guy is he

520
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,679
Speaker 3: get an NBA pension? Does he get an NBA pension?

521
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 3: I would assume not.

522
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 1: No, he hasn't played in the NBA. There's a lot

523
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 1: of guys who played in summer league and they wore

524
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,879
Speaker 1: uniform they didn't play in the league.

525
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 3: I hate to break it to you, I don't remember

526
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 3: these guys.

527
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 4: Tom Izzo and all these other people coaches doing all

528
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 4: the stuff that they do all the money that they made.

529
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 3: I don't remember.

530
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 4: John Coler Perry being so worked up that Rick Patino

531
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 4: school had prostitutes in the dorm and all that other

532
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:32,120
Speaker 4: stuff and all the other penalties and punishment for them.

533
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 4: I don't remember those press conferences. I don't remember them

534
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 4: coming out and saying this is awful. The reason that

535
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 4: college for college basketball is where they are is because

536
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 4: of greed. They never wanted to share with the players.

537
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 4: They used to penalize players. Who penalizes as a kid

538
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 4: who wants to go back to college he wasn't drafted.

539
00:25:56,040 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 4: Oh I don't know you. How dare you put yourself

540
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:01,640
Speaker 4: in the draft?

541
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:02,160
Speaker 2: Right?

542
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 4: How dare you? You're not coming back here? That's that's education,

543
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:11,360
Speaker 4: that we're denying kids a chance to come back to college.

544
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:12,200
Speaker 3: I'm sorry.

545
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,879
Speaker 4: That's why I understand this, and I and I and

546
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 4: the NCAA. They would have a problem, especially with ni

547
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 4: l and money now that they give people to deny

548
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 4: this kid a chance to play, they would lose because

549
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 4: he hadn't signed an NBA contract. And that's what the

550
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:33,639
Speaker 4: rules say. That this is not before where if you

551
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:37,400
Speaker 4: just he's talking about old rules, those were the old rules.

552
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 4: So I don't have an issue with it. The NCAA,

553
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,200
Speaker 4: I think if they finally got it right and they

554
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 4: understand where they are. This is not amateur sports anymore.

555
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,360
Speaker 4: Anybody who thinks so, you're your kid and yourself.

556
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,640
Speaker 1: Which is why we were talking here. I wrote down

557
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 1: n cuaa's days are numbered. Their days are numbers. They're

558
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,880
Speaker 1: already there. You talk about the phrase on the clock,

559
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:01,160
Speaker 1: they're a big time on the clock because a broke

560
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 1: clock is right twice a day. And John Keller Perry.

561
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,119
Speaker 1: While I disagree with some things over his tenure that

562
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,399
Speaker 1: he said or done this time, I think some of

563
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 1: what he was saying was right. So first of all, Robersie,

564
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 1: what's the kid's name again? That's kind of in the

565
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 1: midst of all of this, James Naji Nagy Nagy, you

566
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 1: can't come back, rob I totally disagree. It's one thing.

567
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 1: The first point you made, I get put my name

568
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:23,880
Speaker 1: in the draft. Just want to see where I am.

569
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:24,680
Speaker 1: Just see what's okay?

570
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 3: Cool. I'm straight. I'm staying.

571
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:29,879
Speaker 1: You never really left. You leave, you've been going five years.

572
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:33,359
Speaker 1: Get you go play pro overseas, you get in a

573
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 1: G league, part of a trade in the NBA. You

574
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 1: are a gone official. You cannot come back to college.

575
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,639
Speaker 1: I watched March Madness this past last year, and I

576
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:45,159
Speaker 1: saw more dudes on those courts that I'm looking like,

577
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:46,399
Speaker 1: did I go to high.

578
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 3: School with him?

579
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,399
Speaker 1: And I'm twenty some years older than most of those players.

580
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 1: That's how old some of these kids look. That part

581
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 1: of it's gone too far. He brought up a great

582
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 1: point as well. If you're kind of saying, well, that's

583
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 1: over there, that's overseas, then you gotta keep your hands

584
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,400
Speaker 1: out of high school. Kids could not go to college

585
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:03,919
Speaker 1: because under Armour and Nike sent them a bunch of

586
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:06,440
Speaker 1: clothes and stuff to wear. I can be a billboard

587
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 1: for you, Rob, but what I can't do is have

588
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:10,919
Speaker 1: five hundred pair of shoes that you sent me over

589
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 1: a couple of years.

590
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 3: You know what I can't do.

591
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 1: I can't sell one measly pair because now I'm ineligible.

592
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 1: Like that's crazy. The NC double A rule here, no

593
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:22,119
Speaker 1: rule there. Transfer here, but don't transfer there. Go overseas

594
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 1: and play. But what you can come back? Don't go

595
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,360
Speaker 1: but get an agent. You can't come back. The NC

596
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:28,399
Speaker 1: DOUBLEA does not know what they're doing, and it is

597
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 1: becausing chaos and it is hurting the game. And you

598
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:33,639
Speaker 1: and I were talking off the air a little bit, Dude.

599
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,680
Speaker 1: I remember watching games and you knew the teams they

600
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 1: were replaying because of they were replaying Duke recently the

601
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 1: Christian lay everybody hates Christian later dot And you saw

602
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 1: him and Bobby Hurley and Gray Hill all.

603
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 3: These years and you knew it, you loved it.

604
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 1: You saw him losing the UNLV that came back, they

605
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 1: bounced back, and it's losing that luster. So I'm happy

606
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 1: do what you want to get paid to the players.

607
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:55,719
Speaker 1: I'm not knocking that portion of it. But the NC DOUBLEA,

608
00:28:55,840 --> 00:29:00,120
Speaker 1: by overcompensating, has created this concept by never paying players.

609
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 3: Not over compensating. It says, it's states, you can't sign

610
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 3: a contract. He didn't sign a car. To make sure

611
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 3: I'm correct, he didn't sign a car. Did you tell

612
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 3: me that man was part of a trade for Carl Anthony.

613
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 5: Town He's draft rights, his rights.

614
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 3: Right, draft right.

615
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 1: What I'm saying it and I'm not rob I'm saying,

616
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 1: once you get part of draft rights, no, once you're

617
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 1: part of the G League at summer leagues, what do

618
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 1: we look at it?

619
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 3: Look up his name on old time NBA players in

620
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 3: the NBA. I hear what you're saying.

621
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 1: If you looked at it, disagreeing's not listed. But I

622

638
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 3: This play, it doesn't matter. But this kid did. That's

639
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 3: what this kid did not play in the NBA. He

640
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 3: plays the Eligibility League. It doesn't matter. NBA, that's their league.

641
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:23,840

645
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 3: of the stats count. None of it counts, none of

646
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:36,280

Speaker 3: Met why not you said he's in the league. He's

657
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 3: in the league. He hes not in the league he is.

658

660
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 3: It says if you signed the contract, you can't play.

661
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 1: And I also agree, real simple and I also afreciate

662
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 1: right with the transfer he talked to we didn't really

663
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 1: play that much on the clip he talked about you

664
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 1: get one free transfer, you don't why and as coaches

665
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:23,480
Speaker 1: as long as it's the same thing with coaches, meaning

666
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 1: you can't sign a four or five year deal and

667
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 1: then leave a year or two.

668
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 4: I got a question for you. I'm not even gonna

669
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 4: ask you. I want to ask Bob G. Do the

670
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 4: players transfer themselves to other teams or the coaches accept them?

671
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 4: You keep right, the coaches accept them. No, but it

672
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 4: ain't that. If you coaches don't want it, don't go

673
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 4: take transfers. If that's if you have an issue with it.

674
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:52,479
Speaker 1: He literally just said, on your seat, I got coaches

675
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 1: feeling back that they're playing twenty seven years.

676
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 3: That's the rule that I mean, that's what he said.

677
00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 3: But you don't have to accept the transfer. And what

678
00:31:59,360 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 3: world are we?

679
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 1: Okay?

680
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 3: Are we not going to do something whatever? I'm not

681
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 3: blaming the kids. I'm not blaming the kids nothing. I'm saying,

682
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 3: here's my new rule.

683
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 1: Tell the kids not to tell the coaches not to

684
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 1: take them. They won't be able to because here's my

685
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 1: new rule. Terrible, you get a transfer. Otherwise you can

686
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 1: transfer again, Rob, you can these coaches get up on

687
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 1: these players. All I just said, as long as the

688
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 1: coaches are the same thing, good luck, then then then

689
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 1: it stays the same. These kids have a right the

690
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 1: coach lees or they I'm with you, and they lie

691
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 1: to them. They say, oh yeah, come on, you're gonna

692
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:31,720
Speaker 1: be our quarterback.

693
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 4: And then he got bringing two other five stars and

694
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna play.

695
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:37,720
Speaker 1: I'm gonna stick around. Ain't no, I'm gonna stick around.

696
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 1: You telling me a dude around straight draft rights, played

697
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 1: in the summer league, played overseas for five years, and

698
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 1: then gets to come back to college. That's correct, that's crazy,

699
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 1: absolutely crazy.

700
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 3: Eight seven seven ninety.

701
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 1: College player who never did think he can go back

702
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:56,480
Speaker 1: to high school.

703
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 3: Well, they never played me.

704
00:32:57,560 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 1: I never stepped foot on the college court, and I

705
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 1: go back to high school.

706
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 3: Could you stop? Come on,
