7
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:26,200

8
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,680

24
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: What's going on? Man? Another week of fun and excitement

25
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: and a narrow escape from that United States men's basketball

26
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: squad that I think most folks when they looked at

27
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: it yesterday morning, it's like, oh, this spreads forty three

28
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,759
Speaker 1: and a half, it's South Sudan. What kind of errands

29
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 1: are we running today? What kind of things that we

30
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: got played with the kids? Where are we going? And instead,

31
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,919
Speaker 1: I'm sure many people finding an app on their phone

32
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,960
Speaker 1: as this thing got into the final stage is saying, wait,

33
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: I gotta watch this. You can do what you gotta do.

34
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna sit here in the whatever section of this

35
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: store that we're in because I got to see how

36
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: this ends.

37
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 2: Well, Hey, one thing, shout out to Royal Ivy. He

38
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 2: did a spectacular first off, getting the team to qualify

39
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 2: for the Olympics for the first time.

40
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 3: I think it's ever, I'm not sure, don't quote me.

41
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: On no, that's right. Yeah, And they gained their independence

42
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 1: and this was brought up on the broadcast a couple

43
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: of times just to kind of talk about the large

44
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:20,119
Speaker 1: nature of this in terms of getting together. They got

45
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 1: their independence, you know, from the Sudan for themselves July

46
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 1: ninth of twenty eleven, so we're talking thirteen years.

47
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 3: Wow.

48
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 2: But they went out and they competed. I mean, that's

49
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 2: in my eyes, that's a win for Sudan. I think

50
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 2: everybody's going to be looking at them now, and the

51
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 2: reality is they can't fall off.

52
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 3: Now.

53
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 2: After you competed like that against the you know, the

54
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 2: Golden medal favorites. They have to compete like that against

55
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 2: every team. But man, that was a nightmare.

56
00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: Wow. I mean, fast up and down the court, no break. Know, hey,

57
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: you know it's the Rocky three thing. I thought we

58
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: were you know, this was an exhibition. It was an exhibition.

59
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 1: Or you know, take it even further, Rocky four with

60
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: Avon Drago against you know, against Carl Weathers getting after

61
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 1: it with Creed. It was like it's supposed to be

62
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: an exhibition. Throw the damn towel. In this case, it's

63
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: like no, no, no, we're not slowing down. We're here

64
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: to show out. I mean, Shayok was ridiculous. From the

65
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,799
Speaker 1: three point arc six of twelve from the night twenty

66
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,399
Speaker 1: four and you could find plenty of highlights of him

67
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: filling it up Summer League action and such for the

68
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: Celtics in the past. But you know, just watching them

69
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 1: go up and down the court, the thing that impressed

70
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: me was not only the speed and efficiency that they

71
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: played on offense, but they weren't afraid of the big

72
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: guys down low. I mean, Anthony Davis. You know, I

73
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: started to tweet it out and I'm like, you can't

74
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: encapsulate this in two hundred and eighty characters, so I'll

75
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: try to do it in two hundred eighty words or less.

76
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: He was starting to get what you know, folks would

77
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: describe as an Angel Reese box score in terms of

78
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: corralling a lot of his own misses because he was

79
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: getting challenged at the rim.

80
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, which, you know what, that's how Ad plays. And

81
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 2: I think that, you know, people forget again you heard

82
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 2: me say this my eight. He's a good finisher. You know,

83
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:26,359
Speaker 2: he's a great finisher. You know, you feed him the basketball,

84
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 2: he's active, he rebounds.

85
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 3: That's why him and Bam out of bio play well.

86
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 2: But I think, you know, there's like there's like these

87
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 2: false expectations on ad and what he brings to the table.

88
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 3: So yeah, that's that's what he is. Sometimes he's gonna

89
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 3: have those.

90
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 2: Games where he you know, he may be fifteen for fifteen,

91
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 2: you know, knocking everything down, and sometimes he's just kind

92
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 2: of keeping you know, basketballs alive.

93
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was just interesting to watch just the intensity

94
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: keep up for the entirety of a game, because once

95
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,919
Speaker 1: the US came back after the fourteen point halftime deficit

96
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: and you're like, all right, here they come, and now

97
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: maybe they get a little distance. Obviously you were cashing

98
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: the ticket and licking bills if you were getting the

99
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 1: forty three and a half early on, and certainly if

100
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: you were sportsbook down this stretch, I think it was

101
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: plus one hundred thousand if you bet the South Sudan

102
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 1: to win outright on the money line. So a couple

103
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: of sportsbook operators, you know, where folks said, for giggles,

104
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 1: here's my fiver instead of a cup of coffee. Maybe

105
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 1: they got a little bit nervous there, and some liabilities

106
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 1: in the final throws. But one thing I got to

107
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: point out is that South Suda should have won this game,

108
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: they had the chance. Anthony Edwards totally didn't get missed

109
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 1: his man on the final possession and it goes in

110
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 1: and if they didn't collide with each other because they

111
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: were salivating over who got to throw down the winning

112
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: dunk man, there would have been a one point loss

113
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 1: for the US.

114
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 3: Yeah.

115
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 2: Absolutely, And that's the thing that the US, you know,

116
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 2: this is what's always been there. I don't think it's

117
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 2: the end of the world if they lose this game,

118
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 2: but there's a target on their backs.

119
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,279
Speaker 3: And whoever they play against wants to win.

120
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 2: They're gonna compete and you're gonna get the other team's best.

121
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 3: That's just that's just a part of it.

122
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 2: So, you know, hats off to Sudan, and I think

123
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 2: for Team USA, that's got to be a wake up

124
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,679
Speaker 2: call that if they don't come out ready, they're gonna

125
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 2: they may miss medaling. You know, they may miss the

126
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 2: gold medal. And you know, Mike right, there's anything less

127
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 2: than a gold medal in this situation, it's a loss.

128
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: Well, especially the way this has been built up. Ryan, Yeah, man,

129
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: think about it. The last couple of weeks. How many

130
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: deep thought shows have you seen where this team is

131
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: more talented than the ninety two team. This team is

132
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 1: the most decorated and talented basketball team ever assembled. I mean,

133
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,039
Speaker 1: the hype train is there because I think they're just

134
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: trying to get a couple of headlines away from Ladecki

135
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 1: and Biles. I think that's kind of where it's going

136
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,920
Speaker 1: with this, trying to make sure, hey, don't forget about us.

137
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: We're kind of a big deal over here too. But

138
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 1: you know, that's two straight games where you got the

139
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: eyebrow raise, right. They beat Australia and they were beating

140
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: them down pretty solidly, but let up a bit and

141
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: it ends up being a six point win to where

142
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: it's like, all right, that's a little uncomfortable. Some easy buckets,

143
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 1: some give me give up moments, and in this particular game, man,

144
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 1: I know, and we'll hear from Lebron and all the

145
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: the aftermath of this one a little bit later on

146
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: in the show, but you know, just coming into it,

147
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: I mean, they couldn't find the broad side of the

148
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: bar and shooting. You still got Kevin Durant street close.

149
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: I know he's quote getting closer, but how much is

150
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: he you know, drifting towards a Kawhi Leonard situation of

151
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: should he even be part of this squad if he

152
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 1: hasn't been ready to go this entire run?

153
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I mean I just think for Kui Tails

154
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 2: obviously and the type of player that he is could fit.

155
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 2: But I mean it's you know, it was just him

156
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 2: being healthy.

157
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: Did you like that fight that came out this week

158
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 1: though the Clippers saying no, no, no, that was all USA Basketball.

159
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 1: We had nothing to do with that decision.

160
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 2: I mean, I've never seen Mike speaking of the Clippers

161
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 2: and in general. And then I think, what other team

162
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 2: did it? Like a player and not come back in

163
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 2: free agency? And then the team release a statement? Who

164
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 2: else did that?

165
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 3: They did? Clippers did that around Paul George.

166
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 2: I want to say somebody else had something happen when

167
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 2: they released this.

168
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 3: I've never seen that in free agency.

169
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 1: That's like a first Yeah, well, we'll get into the

170
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: Paul George thing because Steve Balmer. You know again, you

171
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 1: can have a whole string quartet behind him playing a

172
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 1: sad song with the notes they had on all all

173
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: of that. But yeah, it's just the curiosity of watching

174
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: this mix and come together. I know it's a it's

175
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 1: a short run up, and so you take that with

176
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 1: a grain of salt. But when you're expected to just

177
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: blow the doors off this squad and and just hide,

178
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: to have these kind of threats and anxious moments, I

179
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,679
Speaker 1: think for a lot of folks, even in as you

180
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: started off saying, I mean, it's a win for South

181
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 1: Sunan and for the US that that target I think

182
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 1: got a little bit larger based on what they were

183
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,559
Speaker 1: able to do. I don't know how many teams can

184
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 1: match that pace though, right, being full on underdog, let's

185
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 1: just keep ripping time and time again, because well we

186
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 1: we may never get this spot again. We may never

187
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 1: have this chance to take down you know, this monster

188
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: of a squad. I mean just going through, you know,

189
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 1: and watching it live, the speed and just the push offensively,

190
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 1: like there was no no give up at all. Like

191
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 1: I was watching a soccer game the other day, like

192
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,679
Speaker 1: same kind of things, Like at no point did you

193
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 1: ever get a point to look at each other and

194
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: try to come up with any kind of defensive recalibration

195
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: because the onslaught was too much. The same thing here

196
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 1: with South Sudan, Like the US players looking around, it's like,

197
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:14,839
Speaker 1: all right, we got to do something even if it's

198
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 1: wrong at some point. This is where you know you

199
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: need the NBA and your eighty eight timeouts per half.

200
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 3: Ryan.

201
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:25,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, and well here's the thing. You know with Sudan,

202
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 2: it's pace, but you know every and this is where

203
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 2: the getting Olympic gold medal is harder than it's ever

204
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 2: been for one. This this is a different competition than

205
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 2: the Dream Team played. As excellent as the Dream Team was,

206
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 2: the competition here.

207
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: Is completely the world caught up.

208
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 2: Absolutely, Oh, the world is absolutely caught up. But you're

209
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 2: gonna see such extremes in style of play you play.

210
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 2: You know, Slovania, you're gonna see execution in ball boomen

211
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 2: and the second that you you know, slip following or

212
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 2: chasing your guy, you're gonna give up a three pointer.

213
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 3: You know, you're gonna have guys.

214
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 2: Playing for their country and they're gonna be extreme motivated

215
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 2: in playing with their hearts.

216
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 3: You know that literally the games of their lives.

217
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 2: So and I have USA experience and played not at

218
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 2: that level, not Olympic level, but I played under nineteens

219
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 2: and I played in the Pan American game, So you know,

220
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 2: I know how extreme they they are. And you know

221
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 2: you don't have time to complain. The three point line

222
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 2: is short, so you got guys who are hitting threes

223
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 2: that don't necessarily hit it. So that's why sometimes when

224
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 2: gods get left off the team or in this case,

225
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 2: on the women's side.

226
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 3: Also, and I'm sure if you caught that mic, that

227
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:34,719
Speaker 3: was that also game.

228
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:36,679
Speaker 1: Oh no, wait, we're going to get into that. I've

229
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 1: got it. I proposed well the immodest proposal on Friday

230
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 1: Night Show with Jason Smith, So we'll get into that

231
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:44,079
Speaker 1: one in.

232
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 2: Hey, I want to hear it. I look, my juices

233
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 2: are going.

234
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 3: I want to hear it.

235
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 2: I don't have a I don't have a fix for

236
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 2: the NBA, but I want to hear it. But but

237
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 2: the the extremes in play, that's what makes it tough,

238
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 2: and you got to be able to adjust. So that's

239
00:11:58,280 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 2: why some of those veterans get thrown on the t

240
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 2: And you understand.

241
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 1: Why guys trying to play level headed to where the

242
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 1: emotions and the back and forth doesn't take over. I

243
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 1: get that. You gotta be calm, collected, and then when

244
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,319
Speaker 1: it's all said and done, find Lebron one on one

245
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 1: and watch him dominate a guy to the rack to

246
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: get that winning layup. We're here in the tire rac

263
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 1: Min's stuff comes on, it's usually a little more emotional

264
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 1: and louder, and it wakes me back up and all

265
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:09,080

266

Speaker 1: contact the corporate office, maybe they can hook you up,

312
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 1: you know, with the discount code or something. So we'll

313
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: see if we can figure that out. But everybody else,

314
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 1: get to Fox sports radio dot com and read about

315
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 1: the rules and get yourself entered in. All right, So

316
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 1: maya Moda's proposal. This comes out of the WNBA All

317
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 1: Star game against the women's national team yesterday, a thrill

318
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 1: arique a Goomba Wale. One of the stories that Smith

319
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 1: and I had covered in our evening show Jason Smith

320
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 1: and I seven to eleven each weeknight here Pacific time

321
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio was that she had taken herself

322
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 1: out of consideration, citing politics and and just fit and

323
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 1: feel and everything else during the original process of you know,

324
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 1: team selection. She did that showing up with Shannon Sharp

325
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 1: and Ocho Sinko on their their podcast and well, so

326
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: you know, the mood of motivation was there for her,

327
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 1: and if there's one thing. We know from a goombawally

328
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 1: she's gonna shoot, So motivation one. The Caitlin Clark Reeve

329
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 1: thing is to me a much bigger deal than anything

330
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 1: with Angel Reese, as convenient as the Clark versus Reese

331
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 1: thing is, because you know, we love our heroes and villains,

332
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 1: and you know you're a villain in someone's eyes somewhere

333
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: kind of phrasing Joe Missoula and really he's stealing it

334
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:07,400
Speaker 1: from The Dark Night, which celebrated its release anniversary earlier

335
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:11,879
Speaker 1: this week. But Mayamada's proposal going into the game Ryan

336
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 1: was if the All Stars were able to take a

337
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 1: victory from the US Women's squad. I went full on

338
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,120
Speaker 1: old school WWF that someone should have taken the mic

339
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 1: before tip off and said, loser stays home. We win

340
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:33,679
Speaker 1: this game and we beat your at Sunday morning, I

341
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 1: can't finish it. That we get to go to France,

342
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 1: the Jerseys will be laying at our feet and off

343
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,639
Speaker 1: we go. And what do you know? They came out

344
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 1: from pillar to post with a fire and an efficiency.

345
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 1: Angel Reese was a beast on the boards. Caitlin Clark

346
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 1: with a double digit assist total, a Goumbalwalle thirty four

347
00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 1: second half points and away you go, Brianna Stuart. I

348
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,159
Speaker 1: like that they call her Stewie because then we can

349
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 1: all do our family guy impressions Stewie and then we

350
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:08,439
Speaker 1: we move on from that. You know, you had some

351
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 1: big moments, but the fact that you had from pillar

352
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,919
Speaker 1: to post, from the start of the game through the

353
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 1: finish an intensity that we haven't seen in an All

354
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,439
Speaker 1: Star game since Pete Rose ran over Ray Fosse all

355
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 1: those years ago. What do you think of my proposal

356
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 1: let them play? Let them play?

357
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 2: I mean it is tough to just kind of just

358
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 2: skip over, you know, just eliminate them, But I mean

359
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:40,439
Speaker 2: that just the motivation, man, that's what that's what's excited me.

360
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:44,199
Speaker 2: I took a motivation to be I don't think you

361
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 2: can just you know, off one game, you know, kick

362
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 2: the best or are they the best players?

363
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 3: I don't know.

364
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 1: Now that's the question now right with it in the

365
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 1: way she spoke about it with caatelen Clark being left

366
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 1: off all of these things like did we really make

367
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 1: the choice? I mean I love that every do you

368
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,919
Speaker 1: you know, wanted you show after the game the Taraseie

369
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 1: you know, motivational speech of hey, we got to take

370
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 1: people seriously every game whatever. It's like that should have

371
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:13,479
Speaker 1: been the speech before the damn game and the effort

372
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:14,399
Speaker 1: that you brought to it.

373
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean Buck and then you know, wow,

374
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 2: I mean I don't know, it was just gold. I

375
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:27,159
Speaker 2: mean it didn't there was no part in Like I was.

376
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 2: I was talking with my boy about it. I was like,

377
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:30,880
Speaker 2: you got to understand that we would you say, twenty

378
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:33,959
Speaker 2: four players right out there, all right, you're looking at

379
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:38,360
Speaker 2: the twenty four best players on the planet. Maybe there's

380
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 2: somebody missing, but for the most part, you're seeing the

381
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:41,679
Speaker 2: twenty four best players on the planet.

382
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,439
Speaker 3: That was like, like, I don't even know how you

383
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 3: create that. On the men's side, Like, I mean.

384
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 2: That that that one was special, right.

385
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean we could workshop and try to come

386
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 1: up with what those twenty four people would be. I mean,

387
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: maybe there's some angle to be had there, but but

388
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 1: to your point, yeah, I mean, just one after another,

389
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 1: like high competition and then just that saltiness on possessions,

390
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:13,400
Speaker 1: little chippiness back and forth, but recognizing, you know, there's

391
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 1: a bunch bigger stakes here, right, We're talking about a

392
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 1: huge audience, the arena's packed there in Phoenix, and all

393
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 1: of these big moments, Cheryl Miller getting her flowers, which

394
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 1: I thought was great, right that they she's the coach,

395
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 1: but making sure talking about the history of the game,

396
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 1: you know, her relationship with and conversations with Caitlin Clark,

397
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:35,920
Speaker 1: a lot of it building up to the All Star game.

398
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 1: So you add all that together, Ryan, I think it

399
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 1: made for a I mean, it was a captivating game,

400
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:45,479
Speaker 1: like even just absolute casuals who've watched some of the

401
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 1: fireworks in the media and obviously a lot of you know,

402
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 1: folks wearing clown suits at times trying to describe what

403
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 1: they're watching in the WNBA and inject themselves into the conversation,

404
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 1: but legitimately a lot of folks paying attention, maybe for

405
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 1: the first time, uh, with with a more regular and

406
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,159
Speaker 1: more and more keenly aware eye of what they're seeing.

407
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 1: And I think all twenty four felt it right. They

408
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:13,119
Speaker 1: recognized this was an opportunity, that it was a display

409
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 1: game and a and a showout game, and certainly for

410
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 1: the w NBA All Stars led by Clark, Reese and

411
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:24,399
Speaker 1: a Goombawale, I mean that he showed Hey, you know,

412
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 1: we're we're pretty good too, so let's uh, let's have

413
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 1: that conversation furthered. So I think that was a big

414
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 1: moment for the women's game. I mean you could sell

415
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 1: from the Commissioner Adam Silver in the crowd, the grins

416
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 1: on their faces as it got to the fourth quarter

417
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 1: and we're still in tight as the Olympians clawed back

418
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:49,440
Speaker 1: from a huge deficit, that you know, they they realized

419
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 1: they got themselves a big win.

420
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 2: It was, it was a huge win. And for the men,

421
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 2: it's a much longer season. The women, you know, can

422
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,159
Speaker 2: kind of you know, cater things that around the you know,

423
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:05,360
Speaker 2: the Olympics and you know, are much better at competing.

424
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 2: They have the experience. There's the men's side. They're not

425
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 2: even close. They're not even close. And earlier we talked

426
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 2: about the men with the style of play, but as

427
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 2: far as an All Star game, I don't believe the

428
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 2: men can create that and nor would it absolutely even

429
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 2: be fair, you know, And I think that that's what's

430
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 2: tough also is for the All Stars, that's their kind

431
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 2: of only breaking. The commission did a good job extending

432
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:33,440
Speaker 2: out the All Star weekend so they could get rest

433
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 2: those guys used to just have to roll straight through.

434
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 2: They like the All Stars would have no break break

435
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:43,119
Speaker 2: at all, you know. So I think what you're saying

436
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:47,360
Speaker 2: is like the chippiness. And what's funny is, let's say,

437
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 2: even if the commission is like a million dollars each

438
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 2: to every winner, you still won't get the competitive level.

439
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 2: But Mike, you hit it right on the head when

440
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 2: you said the saltiness, Like, we saw a lot of saltiness.

441
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 2: If you get this saltiness into the NBA also our game,

442
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:01,360
Speaker 2: that brings it back.

443
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 3: I just don't know how you were created.

444
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:04,959
Speaker 1: But that's the thing on the men's side, Like how

445
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 1: do you do that? Like, like you say, a million

446
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 1: dollars isn't moving the needles. Right, We're watching guys sign

447
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:12,199
Speaker 1: three hundred million dollars deals, right, the last guy on

448
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 1: a bench is making several million dollars. H And so

449
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 1: saying here's the prize, now we saw it during the end,

450
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,640
Speaker 1: and this is where you have that interesting contrast, right,

451
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,880
Speaker 1: is because we saw for the nd season tournament. Now

452
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:30,119
Speaker 1: the whatever they're calling it, the the Cup is the

453
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,880
Speaker 1: new name for it. We have the dates it'll be around,

454
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 1: you know, the Thanksgiving holidays and wrapping up a bunch

455
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 1: of games there before Christmas. But you know that five

456
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars to a man, I mean that that

457
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 1: motivated a lot of guys you know in Lakerville, So

458
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 1: you know, certainly they like their novelty checks there. I

459
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 1: don't dismiss it categorically. Five hundred grand is still five

460
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 1: hundred grand. But when it comes to, hey, we're gonna

461
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 1: go compete for a full forty eight, like, we don't

462
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:02,399
Speaker 1: have that same like you have some individual matchups you

463
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:06,119
Speaker 1: can do, right. I mean we saw it in one

464
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:09,640
Speaker 1: of these earlier US warm ups right where you got

465
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 1: guys kind of battling a little bit and Lebron having

466
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:15,440
Speaker 1: to get chippy h with Dylan Brooks and everything. So

467
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,360
Speaker 1: unless Dylan Brooks is showing up on the court, that's

468
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:20,719
Speaker 1: not gonna be there. Everybody else these guys are all friends,

469
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 1: so we don't get that same level of a pettiness

470
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 1: like here, you know, you had a common enemy. I

471
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 1: think for some for a number of the girls, the

472
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,880
Speaker 1: women that are playing in that you know, reeve left

473
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 1: them off the Olympic team. So they felt a little

474
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 1: bit slighted, especially some of her public comments and and

475
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:41,679
Speaker 1: things going all the way back to the beginning of

476
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 1: the w NBA season. But you also you look at

477
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 1: the other side of hey, we we have this opportunity

478
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 1: right with the with the NBA, it's a long standing thing.

479
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 1: They're there for business more than the game, right, It's

480
00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:02,679
Speaker 1: more the sponsor and individual brand management thing that happens

481
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 1: over that weekend, much more so than the game, which

482
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:08,679
Speaker 1: has been well established as what it is. For the

483
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 1: WNBA All Stars. Man, this is gonna probably be the

484
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 1: last ten years ratings combined.

485
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 3: Twenty years, you know what I mean.

486
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 1: So it was their time in the spotlight, which meant

487
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 1: everybody was gonna take advantage of it, knowing that maybe

488
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,920
Speaker 1: you came to see Clark, maybe you came to see

489
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 1: Angel Reese and how they interacted as teammates. And I

490
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 1: know the crowd erupted when they had that first assist moment.

491
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:38,360
Speaker 1: But you still have Stewart, you still have Asia Wilson,

492
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:42,399
Speaker 1: who's just a ridiculous talent. Tarassi at forty two. Just

493
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 1: go on down the line, all the celebrities in the

494
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:49,399
Speaker 1: crowd and everything else and take nothing away from Gray

495
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:52,119
Speaker 1: or Mitchell. I mean everybody that that showed out and

496
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 1: put up big games. But you may you may have

497
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 1: come for one or two of those storylines, and before

498
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 1: it was done, you got introduced to a ton of players.

499
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 1: And I don't know about you, but I was also curious,

500
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:06,399
Speaker 1: just from the advertising perspective, the number of women that

501
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:10,160
Speaker 1: got some run with different brands, which is a whole

502
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 1: new territory. So you know, this whole market is absolutely exploding,

503
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:17,199
Speaker 1: and it was all on full display in what became.

504
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,639
Speaker 1: I wasn't terribly shocked. Spread was only five and a

505
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 1: half when I think tipped you off that we were

506
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,680
Speaker 1: going to get to ourselves a competitive game, but instead

507
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 1: you got the w NBA All Stars showing out and

508
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:32,879
Speaker 1: headlines rolling through. Why maya modist proposal of the loser

509
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,199
Speaker 1: stays home? I mean you could decide who was on

510
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 1: the mic in WWE fashion, Ryan hollins Man, Would Angel

511
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 1: Reese be the best one to go make that make

512
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 1: that speech? Yes, because I think she could play to

513
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:47,159
Speaker 1: the crowd like she does a pretty good job of

514
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 1: reading you know, the room, and you could see the

515
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:53,159
Speaker 1: eyes roll and the head nod like I think she

516
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 1: would be would have been perfect to be the one

517
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 1: to go out there and then drop the microphone.

518
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:01,400
Speaker 2: How Lema says, speaking about Reces, I don't know if

519
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 2: I get a chance to catch like the little in

520
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 2: game interview. By the by the way, the production killed

521
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:06,680
Speaker 2: it was.

522
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:08,240
Speaker 1: They did a great job all around.

523
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 2: Absolutely, but you know kind of like, hey, we're gonna

524
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 2: ask you about Caitlyn again, and I'm gonna ask you

525
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 2: about Cleatland. I feel like those two just done a

526
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 2: great job of just kind of I wonder if somebody

527
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:22,640
Speaker 2: sat that matt down in my mind and embracing, like, Hey,

528
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 2: the longer you guys answer these these these little things

529
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:29,160
Speaker 2: or you're willing to talk about it, you know it's

530
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 2: gonna be gold.

531
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 3: You know.

532
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's keeping.

533
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 2: I don't want to offend because I know some some

534
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 2: of the women get offending with. It's keeping the league going, though,

535
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 2: you know that is that is why the not that

536
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:46,160
Speaker 2: the league didn't have fans already, but the casual people

537
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 2: that don't know that, that's where your league grows. It's

538
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:51,680
Speaker 2: not what the diehards. They're gonna have the diehards, but

539
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 2: the casuals that you keep coming in that are just

540
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 2: coming because they like ANGELI, so they that they like

541
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 2: Caitlin and then they want to you know, they feel

542
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,680
Speaker 2: they have to rally for one of the other. That's

543
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,639
Speaker 2: where the popularity is growing, you know. So I'm interested

544
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,199
Speaker 2: to see if those two have been sat down and

545
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:09,120
Speaker 2: just said, hey, like, keep it going.

546
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 3: It is what it is.

547
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:13,199
Speaker 2: Be prepared to ask these questions and just you know,

548
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,919
Speaker 2: roll with it because the value of the league is

549
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 2: really pending right now.

550
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 3: Excuse me, not the value.

551
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,160
Speaker 2: The growth of the league is pending because of that,

552
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 2: and you know, just go out and be you and

553
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 2: embrace it. And like you said, you know, Caitlin Clark

554
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,399
Speaker 2: has a game to speak, but it's Angel Reese's mouth

555
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:32,119
Speaker 2: and I don't even want to say antics. It's her

556
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 2: style of play man, because she's she's proven herself to

557
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 2: be a heck of a player.

558
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:35,920
Speaker 3: Man.

559
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 2: I feel like she's really improved in you know, setting

560
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 2: records in the WNBA. Man with those double doubles.

561
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 1: Well, she reads the ball off the rim so well.

562
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 1: I just body spacing and even there was one assist.

563
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 1: I forget who who laid out the pass for I mean,

564
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 1: just the body control to put it up and in

565
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 1: and I know, we go at it and eventually maybe

566
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 1: needs a little bit more of a mid range and whatever,

567
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 1: you know, get away from the basket a bit to

568
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 1: really refine things and take that next step as a player.

569
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 1: But you know it, to me, it's just the curiosity

570
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 1: of you know, what storylines are gonna bring people in.

571
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 1: Obviously you got Becker's and Juju Watkins waiting in the

572
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 1: wings and some other names that people are following at

573
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 1: the collegiate level. But for now, I think you're absolutely right,

574
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 1: you know. And so when they tamp it down by

575
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 1: like hey, we're looking forward to playing with each other

576
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 1: for years, like no, no, it's gotta be I need

577
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 1: to one up her stat sheet. No need, I need

578
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 1: a little more of that. But that's the point, right.

579
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:40,959
Speaker 1: It's like the favorite band, right, you always want them

580
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 1: to get over your band, and then once they do,

581
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 1: it's like, oh man, because that's kind of what the

582
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 1: hockey fan is done at different iterations. Soccer two a

583
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 1: little bit, no, no, you don't understand. And then you've got,

584
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 1: certainly with the WNBA, a lot of the pushback of

585
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 1: well you haven't been here, you haven't been watching. It's like, no,

586
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 1: celebrate that the band has gotten bigger, and is now

587
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 1: playing bigger arenas and all they the standing you did

588
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 1: for the product is actually paying off, and these guys

589
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 1: are getting paid and making some more money. Will it

590
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 1: change the music, Sure, will it change the motivation. Sure,

591
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 1: they're not as hungry and gritty and grimy anymore. But

592
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 1: it gives you, in theory, a more robust product. Why

593
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 1: because more people want in and more people want to

594
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 1: be at the table. Right in theory, you're just getting

595
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 1: started on what the next iteration of this whole machine

596
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 1: looks like. And this was a nice feather in the

597
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 1: cap in a big televised moment there. It is maya

598
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 1: modest proposal.

599
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 2: But man, I mean, I mean, I am glowing about

600
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 2: the game and it's funny. I hit my boy up

601
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 2: and we're like, man, this WNBA game is going down

602
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 2: right now. They're killing He's like, oh, I'm watching right.

603
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 1: I mean the fight. But I mean, there were a

604
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:00,479
Speaker 1: couple of possessions which were kind of funny. It was like,

605
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 1: you know, you're celebrating after a big assist or a big,

606
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 1: big maid shot. I remember a goombawally hits a big

607
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 1: three pointer and everybody's just pumping their fists like you

608
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 1: still gotta go play defense. As Breonna Stewart goes in

609
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:17,719
Speaker 1: for an uncontested layup, it's like the the excitations, uh

610
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 1: and and the then the machine as it rolls on.

611
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 1: But a good spotlight moment. It's unfortunate that then they

612
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 1: now have to take a month off. Whereas the women's

613
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 1: national team plays a warm up against Germany on Tuesday

614
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 1: before the Olympics gets started opening ceremonies on Friday. We'll

615
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 1: have you covered here on Fox Sports Radio, of course,

616
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 1: and for everything else in our sporting universe. Ryan, it's

617
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 1: time to bring on your nemesis, the man, the legend.

618
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 6: Already trying to agitate things.

Speaker 7: Well, unfortunately, my and Ryan, we have to be less

623
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 7: agitating and.

624
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:06,840

Speaker 6: Remember, we all have to be quiet and soothing.

630
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 8: Listen, Justin Rose squinting now at this part up the slope,

631
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 8: and so he starts to address the ball, shuffles into position,

632
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 8: wind absolutely whipping that burgundeep sweater. I'll go the quiet

633
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:42,640

Speaker 8: the slope, rolling.

635
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:49,240

Speaker 10: She'll settling in behind this one looking down his line.

646
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 10: The lead stares at the hole for the longest of times,

647
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 10: and he slowly brings his eyes down the line that

648
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 10: he wants to pug to travel sending it on its way,

649

697
00:35:56,880 --> 00:36:00,760
Speaker 1: finally expected to begin a triple A rehab assignment on Monday,

698
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 1: and according to the Angels Beat reporter for MLB dot Com,

699
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:09,360
Speaker 1: Rhett Bolinger could be back with the squad as early

700
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 1: as Thursday. Oh wow, So ramping up, working under cover

701
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 1: of darkness. Now that's how it kind of operates now

702
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:22,319
Speaker 1: that Shoheo Tani has left Anaheim. Let's call it what

703
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:27,200
Speaker 1: it is, second second team in the city. And when

704
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 1: we talk about second, I mean there's only two teams,

705
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:32,960
Speaker 1: so it's kind of by default. But for Mike Trout,

706
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 1: a guy who was once on the path of look

707
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:38,239
Speaker 1: at everything he does compared to Mickey Mantle and all

708
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:40,719
Speaker 1: of these other all time greats, and now you're just

709
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:44,400
Speaker 1: praying to see some semblance of the guy that really

710
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:49,279
Speaker 1: hasn't played a full season since twenty nineteen. Once upon

711
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:52,840
Speaker 1: a great twenty nine games in twenty twenty four before

712
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:56,719
Speaker 1: the injury, played half of last season plus one, so

713
00:36:56,800 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 1: eighty two games one hundred and nineteen and twenty two six,

714
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:04,839
Speaker 1: twenty one fifty three back in twenty twenty and then

715
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 1: go back to twenty nineteen, the last time he played

716
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:11,800
Speaker 1: in as many as one hundred and thirty four games.

717
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 1: Hasn't played one hundred and fifty or more since twenty sixteen,

718
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:17,920
Speaker 1: But you go back to those early runs. This was

719
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:20,560
Speaker 1: a guy on the path for greatness for already moreno

720
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 1: for the Angels. At least give somebody something to shout

721
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:27,319
Speaker 1: about once again and hopefully to reclaim a little bit

722
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 1: of lost glory.

723
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 3: Yeah.

724
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 2: Hey, the best abilities availability, you know, and it's always

725
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 2: tough for players of miss times.

726
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 3: It's a part of the sport.

727
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:39,680
Speaker 2: And you know, hey, I was fortunate when I played

728
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:40,879
Speaker 2: I didn't have the injury bug.

729
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:43,879
Speaker 3: But some guys just have it. You know.

730
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:46,399
Speaker 1: You just stay away from them in the locker room,

731
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 1: thinking it's gonna jump to you like it's the symbiote

732
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:52,440
Speaker 1: out of like Spider Man three or Venom.

733
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 3: You don't think about it. As soon as you think

734
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:55,880
Speaker 3: about it jumps.

735
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 2: On you as soon as you you look at a guy,

736
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:00,480
Speaker 2: as soon as you speak disparaging well, you have a

737
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 2: guy who has those problems, it jumps on you.

738
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 3: It's it's just you stay away from it. You act

739
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 3: like it doesn't exist.

740
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:10,560
Speaker 2: Do you close your eyes and look the other way

741
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 2: when it comes to injuries?

742
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 3: Man, I'll tell you that right.

743
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:14,720
Speaker 1: Now, Bunny, you were in the league for a decade,

744
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:17,360
Speaker 1: right you got guys that go down and you're wondering,

745
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:20,760
Speaker 1: you know, severity of injury right dead, leg and shoulder.

746
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:24,960
Speaker 1: We talked about back injuries a little bit less last

747
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:27,919
Speaker 1: week and how those pop up when maybe you need

748
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:30,440
Speaker 1: a day off, maybe you need a day of recovery

749
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 1: after a South.

750
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:33,920
Speaker 3: Beach or the trade deadline or the.

751
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:37,799
Speaker 1: Trade deadlines coming up or all of those different mechanisms.

752
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 1: You know, how does that work in a locker room?

753
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:45,439
Speaker 1: How does does that have that that feeling over the top.

754
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 2: Well, when I first got into the league, you weren't

755
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:55,360
Speaker 2: allowed to be hurt, and if you're hurt or whatever,

756
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:59,759
Speaker 2: you know, there is that kind of slapping of the

757
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 2: the you know, the watch and going when are you

758
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:04,799
Speaker 2: going to get back on the court. You were not

759
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 2: allowed And there's a lot of guys that ruined their

760
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:13,440
Speaker 2: careers trying to play through some major injuries or some

761
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 2: injuries that weren't going away or that needed to be

762
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:17,880
Speaker 2: you know, addressed and fixed.

763
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 3: So it's a completely different NBA.

764
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 2: And I think the year prior, you know, you had

765
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:27,839
Speaker 2: the young guys talking about they needed a rest day,

766
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:29,480
Speaker 2: we need some time.

767
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:32,399
Speaker 3: Off, we need recovery day, and it was it was

768
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 3: it was horrible for the league.

769
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 2: And I want to say this year the league almost

770
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 2: went a little extreme with guys, you know, missing some

771
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 2: major awards.

772
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 3: Why because they didn't.

773
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:46,840
Speaker 2: You know, they were forcing their way to play through injury,

774
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:48,759
Speaker 2: you know, and ended up biting a couple guys. So

775
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:50,880
Speaker 2: I think we talked about this, Mike. The league is

776
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:54,880
Speaker 2: gonna fix its way and figure its way out. But again,

777
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:57,360
Speaker 2: to be the old guy in the room. You know

778
00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 2: when I played, yes, there was a lot of rutiny

779
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:03,880
Speaker 2: for you were not really allowed to sit out, and

780
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 2: there's this badge of honder to essentially risk your career

781
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:08,800
Speaker 2: to be out on the court.

782
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:11,440
Speaker 1: Well, it's like we talked about, Ryan, like some of

783
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:15,120
Speaker 1: the things that players associations agree to, Mike, I'd love

784
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:17,080
Speaker 1: to be in the room to hear exactly what was

785
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:19,920
Speaker 1: given up or gotten back on the other side, because

786
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:26,239
Speaker 1: allowing votes to decide who's getting the max contract and

787
00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:29,280
Speaker 1: for these awards is just silly to me. We'll continue

788
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:32,000
Speaker 1: that conversation as well as someone who claimed he could

789
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:34,239
Speaker 1: have been the coat, he's Ryan. I'm like, this is

803
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:26,239
Speaker 1: a full day of activity and action. I don't know

804
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 1: how you topped yesterday, but we're gonna try.

805
00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:33,960
Speaker 3: It was a lot. Let's see it. Let's go.

806
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:38,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, how do you top the men's and women's national

807
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:42,480
Speaker 1: teams one being tested to the brink and escaping? I

808
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:46,480
Speaker 1: did like one of the headlines I saw the NBA

809
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:51,040
Speaker 1: dot Com one was a thrilling win for the US

810
00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:54,439
Speaker 1: men's national team, Like, was it really thrilling? I thought

811
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:56,760
Speaker 1: it was more a horror show for a good portion

812
00:41:56,920 --> 00:42:00,880
Speaker 1: of it, and their worst nightmares come true. Yes they

813
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:03,320
Speaker 1: got the win, but I don't know how much thrilling

814
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 1: win really describes it. Even if it is a one

815
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:08,560
Speaker 1: point victory.

816
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:13,120
Speaker 3: Who was thrilling to watch? You know? Obviously USA ends

817
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:14,800
Speaker 3: up winning, that's that's that's thrilling.

818
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:17,000
Speaker 1: Succeed and proceed.

819
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:21,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can. I think the right the respect for

820
00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:24,399
Speaker 2: the world is there now. So no, no, that's fair

821
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:24,719
Speaker 2: to say.

822
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe you build that a little bit more, all right,

823
00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:30,720
Speaker 1: So like talking about greatness and trying to accomplish massive

824
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:34,879
Speaker 1: things again, this year's iteration of the men's national team

825
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 1: a lot of talking heads, a lot of a lot

826
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:41,279
Speaker 1: of pontificating of you know, this is the greatest assembly

827
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:48,040
Speaker 1: of men's basketball players ever going and putting up graphics

828
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:51,799
Speaker 1: of the dream team against it, of course, going all

829
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:53,799
Speaker 1: the way back to ninety two. And this is where

830
00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:55,520
Speaker 1: we get into the you know, you want to fight

831
00:42:55,560 --> 00:43:00,719
Speaker 1: about today versus yesteryear, and and in between, say, celebrate

832
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:03,719
Speaker 1: what's in front of you, celebrate your past. And you know,

833
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:06,760
Speaker 1: they don't always have to intertwine, but you know, sometimes

834
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:10,040
Speaker 1: guys decide, well I want to do that. Dwayne Wade

835
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:15,160
Speaker 1: being the latest of those, had his run in the NBA,

836
00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:20,600
Speaker 1: one of the all time top seventy five guys, fantastic career,

837
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:25,520
Speaker 1: many accolades, all of those accomplishments, a couple of titles

838
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:29,799
Speaker 1: mixed therein Ryan Hollins. But he threw up an interesting

839
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:35,520
Speaker 1: point talking recently about what might have been had the

840
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:39,000
Speaker 1: injuries that we talk about so often not hit him.

841
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:41,120
Speaker 11: I'm not the greatest shooter of all time. I'm not

842
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:42,560
Speaker 11: the greatest this, but I was great at so many

843
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:45,040
Speaker 11: different things, and no one knows how to really break

844
00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:47,399
Speaker 11: down my game, so they look over it and they

845
00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:49,319
Speaker 11: just go to, you know, one of two things. But

846
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:52,440
Speaker 11: I did so many things in the game of basketball.

847
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:54,759
Speaker 11: So yeah, I mean when I had it, I had it.

848
00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:56,800
Speaker 11: I thought I was. I thought I was gonna be

849
00:43:56,800 --> 00:43:58,680
Speaker 11: before injuries. I'm like MJ, I'm coming for you.

850
00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:02,600
Speaker 1: Boom. Three times NBA Champion O six, twelve and thirteen

851
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:07,520
Speaker 1: NBA Finals, MVP O six thirteen time All Stars, two

852
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:11,200
Speaker 1: time All NBA First Team, three time All NBA Second Team,

853
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:15,200
Speaker 1: three time All NBA Third Team, three time NBA All

854
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:18,320
Speaker 1: Defensive Second Team. I could keep doing this, right, Rookie

855
00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:21,480
Speaker 1: First Team, you name it. All of those things said,

856
00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:24,400
Speaker 1: I was coming for Jordan, What say you?

857
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:29,240
Speaker 2: This is where it would have been tough for Dwayne Wade.

858
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:32,319
Speaker 2: He was like a I don't know if late loke

859
00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:34,839
Speaker 2: bloomer would be the fair word, but yeah, he came

860
00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:37,560
Speaker 2: on hot in the NCAA tournament. You know, he was

861
00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:41,240
Speaker 2: the least touted of you know, that star study class

862
00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:43,160
Speaker 2: with him and Lebron and Carmelo.

863
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:46,840
Speaker 3: But Wade was so hard working.

864
00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:50,000
Speaker 2: He did a lot of the blue collar things and

865
00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:53,600
Speaker 2: because of that, that's where those injuries end up coming from.

866
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:56,840
Speaker 2: So I think for him to get to that level,

867
00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 2: it would have been hard because he wouldn't be who

868
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:04,320
Speaker 2: he is is without how hard he worked. And that's

869
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:08,200
Speaker 2: where I would have to disagree because it's what makes

870
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:12,359
Speaker 2: Dwayne Dwyane. But he's absolutely right because the feather goes

871
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:14,880
Speaker 2: on in the clip. He said, Hey, you know I

872
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:17,840
Speaker 2: did everything. I played point guard and shooting guard, you know,

873
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:21,960
Speaker 2: like all those things he did, and I do.

874
00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:23,279
Speaker 3: I credit him.

875
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:26,239
Speaker 2: I give him full credit, and I don't think he

876
00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:29,400
Speaker 2: gets maybe the respect that he deserves in these conversations.

877
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:33,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, coming out of Marquette, right, Carmelo obviously the national

878
00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:36,879
Speaker 1: title in his year at Syracuse. That's the one thing

879
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:39,239
Speaker 1: Smith can always lurd over me. He's got one of

880
00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:43,800
Speaker 1: those with his Syracuse orange and the other many failed

881
00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:47,319
Speaker 1: years of Beheim. Yeah, it's a bit people lean into it.

882
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:51,680
Speaker 1: Great coach, but you know in Lebron, obviously from day one,

883
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:55,040
Speaker 1: you know, everybody just lining up for an audience with

884
00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:58,359
Speaker 1: the king, as he calls himself, see what I did there?

885
00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:01,480
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not doing that. But you know, folks

886
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:05,439
Speaker 1: can do that all the way through. And a decorated career,

887
00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 1: huge career always gets because you know, I like to

888
00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:11,359
Speaker 1: stir it up a little bit here Ryan, the fact

889
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:14,160
Speaker 1: that he did seed kind of like Steph Curry did

890
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:17,320
Speaker 1: when Kevin Durant came over to the Golden State Warriors.

891
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:20,319
Speaker 1: And on one hand, I mean, they're titles, right, and

892
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:23,560
Speaker 1: you use whatever's at your disposal to go and find

893
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:27,160
Speaker 1: yourself a win. And certainly you play if you can

894
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:29,040
Speaker 1: play with people you like. It's like being in a

895
00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:31,520
Speaker 1: work environment. If you can work with people you know

896
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:35,000
Speaker 1: and you get along and good sense, you know, the

897
00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:38,640
Speaker 1: sensibilities are the same and values aligned to whatever. It's

898
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:40,720
Speaker 1: a lot easier than bringing in a bunch of wild

899
00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:43,520
Speaker 1: cards and folks, no matter how great the resume is

900
00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:45,239
Speaker 1: that you don't know who they are, right, I mean

901
00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:48,680
Speaker 1: that's just you know, a common sense, common business, et cetera.

902
00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:52,279
Speaker 1: But always just wondering on some level, since you were

903
00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:55,839
Speaker 1: willing to seed do another guy, how much that tarnishes

904
00:46:56,160 --> 00:46:58,879
Speaker 1: what you're claiming here, right, because you got those other

905
00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:02,279
Speaker 1: two titles, but you brought in Lebron and you know,

906
00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:05,640
Speaker 1: unfortunately Chris Bosh is always just the oh yeah, and

907
00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:08,399
Speaker 1: him too, a Hall of Famer in his own right,

908
00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:11,399
Speaker 1: Ryan Hollins, and I'm sure you stand for him as

909
00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:13,960
Speaker 1: you know, an opinionated seven foot You got to take

910
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:15,719
Speaker 1: care of the big guys, even though last week we

911
00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:18,240
Speaker 1: talked about how they were all fudging their data anyway,

912
00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:21,200
Speaker 1: so you know, lying about height. You got to find

913
00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:24,160
Speaker 1: the podcast really a great discussion when Kevin Durant let

914
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:26,759
Speaker 1: the cat out of the bag. But it's the the

915
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:29,439
Speaker 1: idea of you know, seating and brenton the Lebron James

916
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:32,319
Speaker 1: coming to town. Just like with Steph as great as

917
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:35,720
Speaker 1: he is, you went and you made the super Friends

918
00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:39,279
Speaker 1: to get yourself over. And I wonder if history to

919
00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:43,319
Speaker 1: some degree even now right in the current format, but

920
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:47,200
Speaker 1: certainly if history doesn't look at that and maybe knock

921
00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:48,520
Speaker 1: you down a peg because of it.

922
00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:55,280
Speaker 2: I think the answer is when they assembled anything less

923
00:47:55,360 --> 00:48:01,880
Speaker 2: than you know, a championship every single year was I

924
00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:06,160
Speaker 2: would say neutral to their legacies because you'd expect them

925
00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:09,839
Speaker 2: getting together that and obviously we all know it's much

926
00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:12,360
Speaker 2: harder than just having an assembly of talent. Sure, you

927
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:15,640
Speaker 2: know you gotta do the work, but I don't think

928
00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:18,880
Speaker 2: that helped their cases. You know, when you think of Lebron,

929
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:22,840
Speaker 2: you don't really give and I give him credit, but

930
00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:24,840
Speaker 2: a lot of people don't give him credit until he

931
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:28,200
Speaker 2: went to Cleveland and won that championship there, and a

932
00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:29,920
Speaker 2: lot of people still don't even give him credit for

933
00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:33,400
Speaker 2: the Los Angeles championship although it was in the bubble.

934
00:48:33,840 --> 00:48:37,239
Speaker 2: And you know, Kevin Durant kind of faces the same thing.

935
00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:40,839
Speaker 2: Similar situation in which you said possibly with Wade is

936
00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:45,080
Speaker 2: that you know, Wade got his his first year, so

937
00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:47,160
Speaker 2: you can't take that away, but the ones with Lebron,

938
00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:50,680
Speaker 2: similar to you know, Durrance with Golden State and Curry

939
00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:53,719
Speaker 2: and those guys, he doesn't get that credit. So that's

940
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:55,719
Speaker 2: why he's been like, hey, let me assemble, let me

941
00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:57,480
Speaker 2: create my own thing. Now, what are you going to

942
00:48:57,520 --> 00:49:00,680
Speaker 2: say after I'm able to do that. But in the

943
00:49:00,719 --> 00:49:03,960
Speaker 2: eyes of the fans and even a lot of the

944
00:49:03,960 --> 00:49:07,359
Speaker 2: throwback players, the old SEOL guys who didn't you know,

945
00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:12,560
Speaker 2: kind of move around and in attempt an attack free

946
00:49:12,600 --> 00:49:17,000
Speaker 2: agency the way it's attacked today from our superstars, they

947
00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:17,920
Speaker 2: don't give the credit.

948
00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:20,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what a lot of those guys are fighting for.

949
00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:22,279
Speaker 1: And it's funny some of them that are the most

950
00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:24,719
Speaker 1: vocal about it are the guys that did actually attempt it,

951
00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:31,000
Speaker 1: however halfheartedly. Yeah, like showing up in Houston, right, Scottie Pippen,

952
00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:34,560
Speaker 1: Charles Barkley and company and trying to make their run

953
00:49:34,600 --> 00:49:37,880
Speaker 1: there and things of that nature, where you know, the

954
00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:41,359
Speaker 1: veteran guys, you know, we just got spoiled with the

955
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:44,560
Speaker 1: idea that you were going to be in one uniform. Right,

956
00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:51,839
Speaker 1: the business, the economics, the player player value not only

957
00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:54,799
Speaker 1: monetarily but also you know, in terms of their own

958
00:49:54,880 --> 00:49:58,520
Speaker 1: agency and Lebron we you know, we talked about the

959
00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:02,759
Speaker 1: anniversary of the decision of weeks ago that you know,

960
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:06,440
Speaker 1: it just changed how it came together. I mean the

961
00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:09,359
Speaker 1: other day there was a I don't even know what

962
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:12,000
Speaker 1: the context was, but clip as I'm flipping around the

963
00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:15,880
Speaker 1: radio talking about when Carl Malone and Gary Payton and

964
00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:19,320
Speaker 1: company joined the Lakers, and if you don't put yourself

965
00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:21,160
Speaker 1: back in the mindset, like it takes a second to

966
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:24,720
Speaker 1: put them in that uniform, because there'll always be Utah

967
00:50:24,719 --> 00:50:29,200
Speaker 1: in Seattle, right, And so it's like, oh, yeah, they

968
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:32,920
Speaker 1: did make that attempt at that ring, which did not work.

969
00:50:33,080 --> 00:50:35,919
Speaker 1: But you know, when you talk about injuries and being

970
00:50:35,960 --> 00:50:38,520
Speaker 1: able to finish the job no matter what you assemble.

971
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:41,440
Speaker 1: You know, the names on the back of the jersey

972
00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:46,080
Speaker 1: may be exciting, but it's a long road and talk

973
00:50:46,120 --> 00:50:52,040
Speaker 1: about injuries and all of that that pile up, particularly

974
00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:54,919
Speaker 1: if you're advanced in your career and trying to pull

975
00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:58,360
Speaker 1: that off and now you're playing with a crazy algorithm.

976
00:50:58,360 --> 00:51:02,040
Speaker 1: It's got like the Lakers running with James and Davis

977
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:05,839
Speaker 1: moving forward. You got seventy plus last year, What does

978
00:51:05,880 --> 00:51:09,239
Speaker 1: it look like in twenty twenty four to twenty five? Right?

979
00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:11,840
Speaker 1: Are you gonna be able to coax that amount of

980
00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:15,279
Speaker 1: games out of them again or not? Right? It's part

981
00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:18,120
Speaker 1: of you know, Laker fans. Every time Anthony Davis went

982
00:51:18,160 --> 00:51:21,400
Speaker 1: into the crowd for a ball in the UH in

983
00:51:21,480 --> 00:51:25,400
Speaker 1: the attempted come back against South Sudan yesterday, and I

984
00:51:25,520 --> 00:51:29,280
Speaker 1: know anybody in Los Angeles that was watching that waited

985
00:51:29,320 --> 00:51:31,399
Speaker 1: to see how quickly Davis was going to get back

986
00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:35,040
Speaker 1: on the court, like please, no, no, not against South

987
00:51:35,080 --> 00:51:37,399
Speaker 1: Sudan in an Olympic warm up.

988
00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:46,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, amen. That look, look, that's a part of it.

989
00:51:46,320 --> 00:51:48,799
Speaker 2: You know, it's it's a part of the game. And

990
00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:52,719
Speaker 2: you know, but back to the statement in hand for

991
00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:54,880
Speaker 2: Dwayne Wade, you know, as he wants to be you know,

992
00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:58,319
Speaker 2: mentioned in the goat conversations or hey, bring me up

993
00:51:58,360 --> 00:52:01,920
Speaker 2: a little bit man at that shooting guard spot. That's tough.

994
00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:06,080
Speaker 2: And I think the argument for Dwayne Wade is, you know,

995
00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:10,520
Speaker 2: keep in mind, you're behind Kobe, you're behind Michael. A

996
00:52:10,520 --> 00:52:13,160
Speaker 2: lot of people don't necessarily put him ahead of Alan Iverson,

997
00:52:13,239 --> 00:52:15,520
Speaker 2: but if you look at his accolades, you know he's

998
00:52:15,520 --> 00:52:17,719
Speaker 2: got to be number three all time. But I mean

999
00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:19,480
Speaker 2: that's a sledting man.

1000
00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:22,920
Speaker 1: See I dig this. We make our own lists, you know,

1001
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:26,680
Speaker 1: instead of regurg dating something else somebody else put out right,

1002
00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:31,880
Speaker 1: So Jordan and then Kobe and then and Wade Wade

1003
00:52:31,920 --> 00:52:32,440
Speaker 1: go third.

1004
00:52:32,520 --> 00:52:34,680
Speaker 2: And you can probably say the most stacked position of

1005
00:52:34,719 --> 00:52:37,320
Speaker 2: all time, you know, and then you know, throwing iverson

1006
00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:39,680
Speaker 2: and then James Harden, you know all those other guys

1007
00:52:39,719 --> 00:52:42,360
Speaker 2: you know that you want to you know, see it's

1008
00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:45,000
Speaker 2: a two spot, but you know the credit has to

1009
00:52:45,040 --> 00:52:48,000
Speaker 2: be given to Dwayne Wade. And if those are the

1010
00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:52,000
Speaker 2: only two guys that you're behind, man, it's an unbelievable career, right.

1011
00:52:52,080 --> 00:52:55,560
Speaker 1: Trump's Trump's hard. I mean we look at the you

1012
00:52:55,600 --> 00:52:58,320
Speaker 1: know the fact that he finished the job right, whether

1013
00:52:58,719 --> 00:53:02,440
Speaker 1: whatever the discount is for teaming up with the the Heatls.

1014
00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:06,080
Speaker 1: But then you look at Klay Thompson and you know,

1015
00:53:06,719 --> 00:53:09,839
Speaker 1: not Klay Thompson twenty twenty four, but the guy that

1016
00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:12,479
Speaker 1: we remember as a two way player. We talked about

1017
00:53:12,560 --> 00:53:15,200
Speaker 1: him a lot last week. You can find the podcast

1018
00:53:15,239 --> 00:53:18,000
Speaker 1: wherever you get your audio downloaded. Given five stars, We'll

1019
00:53:18,040 --> 00:53:20,719
Speaker 1: love you forever and ever again. But going all the

1020
00:53:20,760 --> 00:53:24,160
Speaker 1: way back to guys like Joe Dumars and and and

1021
00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:26,960
Speaker 1: the like, trying to figure out what their values are,

1022
00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:30,719
Speaker 1: you know, all relative, but certainly for Dwayne Wade, I mean,

1023
00:53:30,880 --> 00:53:35,440
Speaker 1: the list of accomplishments is absolutely absurd when when you

1024
00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:39,480
Speaker 1: look at the longevity and the creativity and playing on

1025
00:53:39,560 --> 00:53:41,920
Speaker 1: both ends, and what he was able to do, like

1026
00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:46,120
Speaker 1: whenever a guy's got a pile of defensive all NBA

1027
00:53:46,520 --> 00:53:49,600
Speaker 1: appearance as well, that you know that perks perks my

1028
00:53:49,680 --> 00:53:51,719
Speaker 1: ears up a little bit because we spend so much

1029
00:53:51,760 --> 00:53:54,600
Speaker 1: time just trying to figure out what points per game

1030
00:53:54,640 --> 00:53:58,719
Speaker 1: are per player, right, I mean, and just going to

1031
00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:01,600
Speaker 1: some of the basic stats on that side, whereas the

1032
00:54:01,640 --> 00:54:06,200
Speaker 1: defensive defensive side a little bit more difficult to measure

1033
00:54:06,280 --> 00:54:09,799
Speaker 1: in certainly a lot more difficult to break down, you know,

1034
00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:13,760
Speaker 1: in terms of roles, responsibilities, team concept. But Wade getting

1035
00:54:13,760 --> 00:54:15,560
Speaker 1: a nod there most certainly.

1036
00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:22,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, man, there's no question. And you know, the

1037
00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:25,680
Speaker 2: guy who gets really irritated and people don't talk about

1038
00:54:25,719 --> 00:54:28,879
Speaker 2: this is you know, Shack. A lot of people say, hey,

1039
00:54:28,960 --> 00:54:32,560
Speaker 2: you know, they say that was Wade's championship. It wasn't Shack,

1040
00:54:32,760 --> 00:54:36,680
Speaker 2: so sure they you know, there's always a grite with

1041
00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:40,399
Speaker 2: those great players that you know, what makes them great, man.

1042
00:54:40,440 --> 00:54:42,840
Speaker 2: They got to live with that competitive nature to the

1043
00:54:42,920 --> 00:54:44,239
Speaker 2: day they died pretty much.

1044
00:54:44,280 --> 00:54:46,480
Speaker 1: Man. But that's it. That's the difficult thing for Shack

1045
00:54:46,640 --> 00:54:50,919
Speaker 1: is because it became a i don't know, for lack

1046
00:54:50,960 --> 00:54:54,000
Speaker 1: of a better term of basketball nomad, as great as

1047
00:54:54,040 --> 00:54:57,120
Speaker 1: he was to where you know, you could take those

1048
00:54:57,160 --> 00:55:00,879
Speaker 1: grossly oversized jerseys and a big man and you can

1049
00:55:00,920 --> 00:55:03,080
Speaker 1: cover a couple of walls with the number of teams.

1050
00:55:03,600 --> 00:55:06,680
Speaker 1: You know, that's one of the greatest t shirt slash

1051
00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:08,680
Speaker 1: jersey quilts you're ever going to be able to make.

1052
00:55:09,160 --> 00:55:13,560
Speaker 1: Right when he was the big shacktus in Arizona, when

1053
00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:16,920
Speaker 1: he was the giant Leprechaun, all of those things. So

1054
00:55:17,200 --> 00:55:19,840
Speaker 1: even as great as he was, still with that heat squad,

1055
00:55:20,160 --> 00:55:22,480
Speaker 1: I think the fact that he traveled and bounced around

1056
00:55:22,560 --> 00:55:25,839
Speaker 1: just extending the career didn't help. That doesn't help his

1057
00:55:25,920 --> 00:55:29,400
Speaker 1: case for some because what he did in Orlando, what

1058
00:55:29,440 --> 00:55:31,760
Speaker 1: he did with the Lakers, gets kind of muted.

1059
00:55:34,200 --> 00:55:38,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think for Shaq, he's really carved out

1060
00:55:38,239 --> 00:55:40,160
Speaker 2: his own I mean, obviously his own legacy.

1061
00:55:40,239 --> 00:55:42,000
Speaker 1: He's got a new game show coming out this year.

1062
00:55:42,080 --> 00:55:43,520
Speaker 3: Unbelievable. What doesn't he have.

1063
00:55:43,640 --> 00:55:48,600
Speaker 2: But we know Shaq was too dominant, and you know,

1064
00:55:48,440 --> 00:55:50,520
Speaker 2: you could argue he was bored with the game of

1065
00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:53,160
Speaker 2: basketball and that's why him and Kobe where their feuds

1066
00:55:53,200 --> 00:55:53,560
Speaker 2: and all.

1067
00:55:53,480 --> 00:55:54,240
Speaker 3: That came from.

1068
00:55:54,320 --> 00:55:57,600
Speaker 2: So sure, you know, Shack is Shack you know, you

1069
00:55:57,680 --> 00:55:59,120
Speaker 2: got to just kind of leave it where it is.

1070
00:55:59,160 --> 00:56:01,640
Speaker 2: Shack is jacka Shack, And I don't think those were

1071
00:56:01,680 --> 00:56:04,840
Speaker 2: his goals, but he's so competitive that if you do

1072
00:56:04,960 --> 00:56:08,239
Speaker 2: bring it up, he'll argue you he's not you know,

1073
00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:09,239
Speaker 2: he's he's not.

1074
00:56:09,320 --> 00:56:11,319
Speaker 3: Happy about that, you know.

1075
00:56:11,480 --> 00:56:14,840
Speaker 2: And you know, those those those little guys are are

1076
00:56:14,880 --> 00:56:18,000
Speaker 2: always you know, feisty. And you know when I'd go

1077
00:56:18,040 --> 00:56:20,759
Speaker 2: over and do you know Turner, you know, TNT and

1078
00:56:20,880 --> 00:56:22,719
Speaker 2: NBA TV and those guys, man, they'd be in the

1079
00:56:22,760 --> 00:56:25,680
Speaker 2: back arguing and going at it all the time. Man,

1080
00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:27,759
Speaker 2: But it was, it was it was It was fun

1081
00:56:27,800 --> 00:56:30,799
Speaker 2: to watch, man, watching your favorite players man sit back

1082
00:56:30,840 --> 00:56:34,200
Speaker 2: there and argue and uh, you know, kind of talk basketball.

1083
00:56:34,239 --> 00:56:35,120
Speaker 3: Those were fun times.

1084
00:56:35,160 --> 00:56:38,920
Speaker 2: But make no mistake, man, those guys are still uber competitive.

1085
00:56:39,080 --> 00:56:41,239
Speaker 1: I would say this, there was a great clip that

1086
00:56:41,320 --> 00:56:44,520
Speaker 1: I debated pulling for the show, but Brianna it would

1087
00:56:44,560 --> 00:56:46,960
Speaker 1: have taken her probably three hours to edit it because

1088
00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:51,560
Speaker 1: there were just curse words galore. It's dwayde Wade, Carmelo,

1089
00:56:51,640 --> 00:56:55,719
Speaker 1: Anthony talking about the All seventy five and Jordan and

1090
00:56:55,920 --> 00:56:58,960
Speaker 1: Magic Johnson and all these other guys talking smack in

1091
00:56:59,360 --> 00:57:03,120
Speaker 1: the you know, the the pre the pre show of

1092
00:57:03,200 --> 00:57:05,840
Speaker 1: it all, and you know, it's a great clip. I

1093
00:57:06,360 --> 00:57:09,520
Speaker 1: urge you to go find it. But it's the beeping,

1094
00:57:10,239 --> 00:57:12,640
Speaker 1: beeping out of words that was attempted by whoever did

1095
00:57:12,640 --> 00:57:14,759
Speaker 1: the podcast. They did a really bad job, so we

1096
00:57:14,800 --> 00:57:17,640
Speaker 1: would have had to start from scratch from it. But

1097
00:57:18,040 --> 00:57:21,439
Speaker 1: to your point, everybody trying to keep their legacy, their

1098
00:57:21,560 --> 00:57:26,440
Speaker 1: history alive as we change into this next generation. Speaking

1099
00:57:26,480 --> 00:57:30,160
Speaker 1: of which player who's still on Team USA, he also

1100
00:57:30,360 --> 00:57:32,800
Speaker 1: raised his hand and said, Hey, I could be the

1101
00:57:32,840 --> 00:57:36,760
Speaker 1: goat too. Yeah, we'll explain what that's all about coming

00:58:24,480 --> 00:58:27,160
Speaker 2: Uh No, man, I've been just trying to get the

1116
00:58:27,680 --> 00:58:29,440
Speaker 2: pieces back to the puzzle together.

1117
00:58:29,680 --> 00:58:29,880

00:58:30,080 --> 00:58:31,480

00:58:31,640 --> 00:58:32,680
Speaker 3: No, everybody's good.

1120
00:58:32,720 --> 00:58:35,760
Speaker 2: It's just just a major inconvenience.

1121
00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:39,760
Speaker 1: Understood, understood. Yeah, if you can help. Obviously, all the uh,

1122
00:58:40,240 --> 00:58:44,680
Speaker 1: the nature nature flexing a bit these last couple of

1123
00:58:44,720 --> 00:58:48,760
Speaker 1: weeks across the the uh, the United States and the globe.

1124
00:58:48,880 --> 00:58:51,040
Speaker 1: So uh, they're in the planet Houston.

1125
00:58:51,480 --> 00:58:51,640
Speaker 2: Uh.

1126
00:58:51,760 --> 00:58:57,560
Speaker 1: Certainly folks trying to get themselves back to normal normal. Uh,

1127
00:58:57,800 --> 00:58:59,400
Speaker 1: it would be the kindest way to say it.

1128
00:58:59,760 --> 00:59:00,000
Speaker 3: Uh.

1129
00:59:00,400 --> 00:59:04,640
Speaker 1: Summer League wrapping up today. Any grand you know, observations

1130
00:59:04,680 --> 00:59:05,600
Speaker 1: from what you've seen out.

1131
00:59:05,520 --> 00:59:11,000
Speaker 3: There, Man, I think it's been a listen.

1132
00:59:11,800 --> 00:59:14,000
Speaker 2: I think Reed Shepherd it definitely made a name for

1133
00:59:14,120 --> 00:59:17,160
Speaker 2: himself this Summer League, and I'm ecstatic to be calling

1134
00:59:17,200 --> 00:59:20,320
Speaker 2: his games and be fun to see him on the floor.

1135
00:59:20,440 --> 00:59:23,360
Speaker 2: He brought some excitement. Cam Whitmore did his job. I

1136
00:59:23,400 --> 00:59:28,080
Speaker 2: think the Rockets really made a splash. I think people

1137
00:59:28,120 --> 00:59:32,720
Speaker 2: are getting a little more centered on Brownie James because

1138
00:59:32,720 --> 00:59:35,760
Speaker 2: there was such high scrutiny and then you know, like

1139
00:59:35,800 --> 00:59:37,520
Speaker 2: I heard you say this, You're going hold on, guys,

1140
00:59:37,560 --> 00:59:39,760
Speaker 2: he was a fifty to fifth pick. You guys are

1141
00:59:39,800 --> 00:59:43,760
Speaker 2: going wild. He was pick number fifty five. He's fruit

1142
00:59:43,840 --> 00:59:46,840
Speaker 2: right right, yes, And then you're looking at the first

1143
00:59:46,960 --> 00:59:49,400
Speaker 2: two picks in the now, the first two picks in

1144
00:59:49,440 --> 00:59:52,600
Speaker 2: the NBA are finally getting some notoriety.

1145
00:59:52,000 --> 00:59:53,000
Speaker 3: But not for the right reason.

1146
00:59:53,040 --> 00:59:54,000
Speaker 2: I'm going to stay it going.

1147
00:59:54,080 --> 00:59:56,320
Speaker 1: We were going after Sar quite a bit for his

1148
00:59:56,440 --> 00:59:59,840
Speaker 1: exploits that over seventeen certainly stood out, but just a

1149
01:00:00,360 --> 01:00:01,840
Speaker 1: there's other guys playing basketball.

1150
01:00:02,560 --> 01:00:07,120
Speaker 2: Yes, and but again I think for Bronnie James, they're going, oh,

1151
01:00:07,240 --> 01:00:08,920
Speaker 2: he's not a bad fifty fifth pick. We see the

1152
01:00:09,320 --> 01:00:12,680
Speaker 2: first and the first two picks are doing so okay, Bronnie,

1153
01:00:12,680 --> 01:00:15,680
Speaker 2: you're you're, you're, you're coming along and I and I

1154
01:00:15,720 --> 01:00:19,520
Speaker 2: do listen, I wonder and in my mind it wouldn't

1155
01:00:19,520 --> 01:00:22,120
Speaker 2: be surprised if you know, and Lebron's taking just a

1156
01:00:22,120 --> 01:00:26,160
Speaker 2: whole out of scrutiny for it. Lebron goes, hey, I know,

1157
01:00:26,280 --> 01:00:31,280
Speaker 2: those James jeans are there, not necessarily set you up

1158
01:00:31,320 --> 01:00:33,400
Speaker 2: to fail, to set you up to succeed. But he's like,

1159
01:00:33,480 --> 01:00:36,120
Speaker 2: I want the scrutiny for Bronnie. I want it to

1160
01:00:36,160 --> 01:00:38,400
Speaker 2: be throwing his way. I want him to be under

1161
01:00:38,440 --> 01:00:42,520
Speaker 2: the microscope, because if he turns into the player he

1162
01:00:42,520 --> 01:00:44,920
Speaker 2: can be, he's going to be all right. And I

1163
01:00:44,920 --> 01:00:47,600
Speaker 2: can tell by the way that Bronny played in those

1164
01:00:47,680 --> 01:00:50,920
Speaker 2: last what two games, that he hears the noise, he's

1165
01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:53,720
Speaker 2: he's getting the frustration, and you know, for the Lakers,

1166
01:00:53,760 --> 01:00:55,920
Speaker 2: they're probably going, hey, we might end up getting the

1167
01:00:55,960 --> 01:00:57,800
Speaker 2: first round pick like talent out.

1168
01:00:57,640 --> 01:00:58,680
Speaker 3: The fifty fifth pick.

1169
01:00:59,400 --> 01:01:02,920
Speaker 2: If he you know, kind of turns that switch, you know,

1170
01:01:03,040 --> 01:01:06,200
Speaker 2: he ends up developing. So hats out to Bronni. Happy

1171
01:01:06,200 --> 01:01:08,440
Speaker 2: for him, and you know, not that it has to

1172
01:01:08,480 --> 01:01:10,959
Speaker 2: be at another player's de mines. But I think people

1173
01:01:11,040 --> 01:01:14,120
Speaker 2: are saying, Frannie's not what you guys are out to

1174
01:01:14,120 --> 01:01:17,160
Speaker 2: scrutinize him for. You know, it's not hasn't really been

1175
01:01:17,200 --> 01:01:19,320
Speaker 2: a fair assessment.

1176
01:01:20,200 --> 01:01:23,240
Speaker 1: But as we talked about last week again the full

1177
01:01:23,360 --> 01:01:26,800
Speaker 1: rant there, it's a take that kind of goes along

1178
01:01:27,120 --> 01:01:30,720
Speaker 1: in line with my immodest proposal about the women's national

1179
01:01:30,720 --> 01:01:33,320
Speaker 1: team and the w NBA All Stars. In other words,

1180
01:01:33,360 --> 01:01:36,360
Speaker 1: the w NBA All Stars one they should go to France,

1181
01:01:36,520 --> 01:01:41,400
Speaker 1: that's it. But with this, it's the idea that the

1182
01:01:42,120 --> 01:01:44,720
Speaker 1: loudest folks are the ones that do everything they can

1183
01:01:44,840 --> 01:01:48,960
Speaker 1: to flex and help people along and get their buddies

1184
01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:52,600
Speaker 1: in place and whatever else. Like all right, by the way,

1185
01:01:52,600 --> 01:01:55,800
Speaker 1: you're talking about Lebron, you can't do that anymore. No

1186
01:01:55,880 --> 01:01:59,880
Speaker 1: more helping people with internships, no more being a reference

1187
01:01:59,880 --> 01:02:02,600
Speaker 1: for jobs. Hey, I just can't talk about it, right,

1188
01:02:02,680 --> 01:02:05,120
Speaker 1: But you're long into the process, you've been in this

1189
01:02:05,200 --> 01:02:07,560
Speaker 1: for thirty years and you've got a good rep. It

1190
01:02:07,600 --> 01:02:10,080
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. I just can't speak on it.

1191
01:02:10,160 --> 01:02:10,400
Speaker 2: You know.

1192
01:02:10,880 --> 01:02:13,840
Speaker 1: It's it's the you know, Lebron had the opportunity to

1193
01:02:13,880 --> 01:02:16,840
Speaker 1: flex a little bit, and to your point, maybe Bronni

1194
01:02:16,920 --> 01:02:20,720
Speaker 1: becomes a nice role player and a back end first

1195
01:02:20,800 --> 01:02:24,480
Speaker 1: round talent, maybe more, who knows at this point. But

1196
01:02:24,520 --> 01:02:27,360
Speaker 1: the reality is they they they took their shot, right,

1197
01:02:27,400 --> 01:02:30,200
Speaker 1: They had their opportunity. And when you have leverage saying hey,

1198
01:02:30,200 --> 01:02:33,440
Speaker 1: you'd like to resign me, you'd like me to come

1199
01:02:33,480 --> 01:02:35,840
Speaker 1: back to the Lakers, wouldn't you. Yeah, this is what

1200
01:02:35,880 --> 01:02:40,040
Speaker 1: it's gonna take. And so for that again, with summer League,

1201
01:02:40,040 --> 01:02:42,280
Speaker 1: we try to take it all. I think with a

1202
01:02:42,480 --> 01:02:45,520
Speaker 1: giant grain assault too, Ryan, is that a lot of

1203
01:02:45,560 --> 01:02:47,320
Speaker 1: these guys aren't making the league. A lot of these

1204
01:02:47,360 --> 01:02:50,640
Speaker 1: guys professionally, you know, there might be a couple of

1205
01:02:50,720 --> 01:02:53,720
Speaker 1: years overseas, but that that it moves on. So trying

1206
01:02:53,720 --> 01:02:56,480
Speaker 1: to ascertain what you're seeing. Right, you see some of

1207
01:02:56,520 --> 01:02:59,880
Speaker 1: the some of the play, and just as quickly as

1208
01:03:00,080 --> 01:03:01,840
Speaker 1: guy catches your eye like wow, that was a pretty

1209
01:03:01,880 --> 01:03:06,080
Speaker 1: good sequence, he looks absolutely lost two minutes later. So

1210
01:03:06,320 --> 01:03:09,520
Speaker 1: we're seeing a lot of variability there. My bigger question

1211
01:03:09,640 --> 01:03:12,760
Speaker 1: coming out of Summer League is not the Bronnie James

1212
01:03:12,760 --> 01:03:15,200
Speaker 1: part of it, but JJ Reddick seem like just the

1213
01:03:15,280 --> 01:03:19,160
Speaker 1: happiest tourist right being in the crowd watching Bronnie James

1214
01:03:19,240 --> 01:03:22,320
Speaker 1: have his breakthrough in those final games, or Dalton Connects

1215
01:03:22,320 --> 01:03:25,600
Speaker 1: start to find it a little bit. And then yesterday photographed,

1216
01:03:25,640 --> 01:03:29,640
Speaker 1: Hey he's at the Red Sox and Dodgers as the

1217
01:03:29,720 --> 01:03:34,160
Speaker 1: Lakers finish Summer League. Now they beat the pants off

1218
01:03:34,200 --> 01:03:37,400
Speaker 1: of the Bulls in their their final final game. Bronnie

1219
01:03:37,440 --> 01:03:41,120
Speaker 1: and connect did not play citing you know, the workload

1220
01:03:41,160 --> 01:03:43,920
Speaker 1: that they'd had. But JJ Reddick, I think it just

1221
01:03:43,920 --> 01:03:45,600
Speaker 1: comes back to should should he have been on the

1222
01:03:45,600 --> 01:03:47,760
Speaker 1: sideline a little bit, you know, test your metal a

1223
01:03:47,800 --> 01:03:50,680
Speaker 1: little bit in these situations, even if they're not as

1224
01:03:50,760 --> 01:03:51,520
Speaker 1: high stakes.

1225
01:03:52,600 --> 01:03:56,640
Speaker 2: No that you don't you don't go and coach summer

1226
01:03:56,720 --> 01:03:57,640
Speaker 2: league as the head coach.

1227
01:03:58,640 --> 01:04:00,520
Speaker 1: Is it just the optic because of it?

1228
01:04:01,240 --> 01:04:06,760
Speaker 2: No, I mean because from a practical matter, Zero, Well, listen, okay,

1229
01:04:06,960 --> 01:04:08,400
Speaker 2: I mean I would put it here.

1230
01:04:08,520 --> 01:04:09,240
Speaker 1: You can say low.

1231
01:04:09,600 --> 01:04:12,520
Speaker 2: You know what, Zero, I see where you're going with this.

1232
01:04:13,440 --> 01:04:15,720
Speaker 2: Were you're going with this, and I missed it. Where

1233
01:04:15,720 --> 01:04:17,600
Speaker 2: you're going with it is that.

1234
01:04:18,920 --> 01:04:20,200
Speaker 3: It's going to sound bad. JJ.

1235
01:04:20,320 --> 01:04:22,080
Speaker 2: Forgive me. JJ's my guy. I saw him when I

1236
01:04:22,120 --> 01:04:25,680
Speaker 2: was out there. He was in clip too, and he

1237
01:04:26,040 --> 01:04:27,920
Speaker 2: was just a poor depiction of JBO.

1238
01:04:28,520 --> 01:04:30,400
Speaker 1: There are a couple of scenes. Though we talked about

1239
01:04:30,400 --> 01:04:33,120
Speaker 1: it earlier, I don't think it's gotten the run in

1240
01:04:33,240 --> 01:04:37,160
Speaker 1: media that it should have with JJ Reddick, particularly when

1241
01:04:37,160 --> 01:04:40,800
Speaker 1: an allegation starts popping up in the real world coming

1242
01:04:40,880 --> 01:04:42,520
Speaker 1: up you know, in the timeline.

1243
01:04:42,560 --> 01:04:44,680
Speaker 2: You know they hushed that one up real quick. But

1244
01:04:46,680 --> 01:04:50,360
Speaker 2: in fairness to what you're saying, if JJ coached a

1245
01:04:50,440 --> 01:04:53,680
Speaker 2: Summer League game, it would be the highest level of

1246
01:04:53,720 --> 01:04:57,160
Speaker 2: game that he's actually coached. But that's going to be

1247
01:04:57,240 --> 01:04:58,120
Speaker 2: gone very soon.

1248
01:04:58,240 --> 01:05:00,400
Speaker 1: No, I get that, but it's just more it would

1249
01:05:00,440 --> 01:05:04,080
Speaker 1: be I understand the optics as you're saying, well, nobody's

1250
01:05:04,120 --> 01:05:06,520
Speaker 1: done this. There's always an assistant or someone in the

1251
01:05:06,640 --> 01:05:09,640
Speaker 1: organization that maybe you're looking at and taking a long

1252
01:05:09,800 --> 01:05:12,560
Speaker 1: lead at or or rapport with the players.

1253
01:05:12,600 --> 01:05:14,919
Speaker 2: You know, those aren't the guys that would be on

1254
01:05:15,040 --> 01:05:18,360
Speaker 2: the you know, the real roster of course, so it's

1255
01:05:18,480 --> 01:05:22,160
Speaker 2: kind of like backwards, but it's still coaching. Would there

1256
01:05:22,240 --> 01:05:25,120
Speaker 2: be a level would there be a level of experience

1257
01:05:25,160 --> 01:05:31,880
Speaker 2: for JJ? Yeah, yeah, I'm not saying it's at all,

1258
01:05:31,920 --> 01:05:35,640
Speaker 2: but yeah, just from a how about you just shut

1259
01:05:35,720 --> 01:05:38,320
Speaker 2: up all of your old podcast buddies who just want

1260
01:05:38,360 --> 01:05:40,919
Speaker 2: to say you've done nothing but coach seventh graders.

1261
01:05:41,200 --> 01:05:42,000
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1262
01:05:42,080 --> 01:05:44,680
Speaker 1: Right, if nothing else, you just say, all right, we

1263
01:05:44,920 --> 01:05:48,480
Speaker 1: got in with the youngsters, you know, and and we

1264
01:05:48,880 --> 01:05:53,240
Speaker 1: learned some things. We went through the process of coaching games.

1265
01:05:53,280 --> 01:05:55,960
Speaker 1: Now that'll change as soon as the Olympics are over,

1266
01:05:56,080 --> 01:05:57,920
Speaker 1: we start getting in the camp whatever. I get it.

1267
01:05:57,960 --> 01:06:01,000
Speaker 1: You you'll have plenty of time to do that. But

1268
01:06:01,360 --> 01:06:03,240
Speaker 1: sitting in the crowd and hanging out with your kids

1269
01:06:03,280 --> 01:06:06,040
Speaker 1: and all. It's a great, great video, it's a cute

1270
01:06:06,840 --> 01:06:09,840
Speaker 1: little photo op and whatever. But in the end, is

1271
01:06:10,440 --> 01:06:13,200
Speaker 1: that helping the squad? You know, just the hey, I'm

1272
01:06:13,240 --> 01:06:16,439
Speaker 1: there in support, I'm there in spirit, you know from

1273
01:06:16,440 --> 01:06:17,080
Speaker 1: the fifth row.

1274
01:06:18,360 --> 01:06:20,640
Speaker 2: Well, here, here's the thing that I know about JJ.

1275
01:06:21,040 --> 01:06:26,000
Speaker 2: He's working diligently to figure out whatever he doesn't know.

1276
01:06:26,800 --> 01:06:30,080
Speaker 2: And he's played enough basketball, been a part of enough

1277
01:06:30,120 --> 01:06:36,400
Speaker 2: basketball that one hundred percent you know he's gonna be

1278
01:06:36,440 --> 01:06:39,480
Speaker 2: okay on that end. But you're right, technically be the

1279
01:06:39,560 --> 01:06:43,320
Speaker 2: highest game that he has coached it.

1280
01:06:44,320 --> 01:06:46,440
Speaker 1: But it's just get through some of the mechanics, right,

1281
01:06:46,640 --> 01:06:49,880
Speaker 1: timeouts and you know, substitutions.

1282
01:06:49,920 --> 01:06:52,720
Speaker 2: That's what the exhibition games are for, you know, And

1283
01:06:53,600 --> 01:06:55,680
Speaker 2: you know, I'm sure JJ will be prepared, and then

1284
01:06:55,720 --> 01:06:58,160
Speaker 2: again his staff will be ready. So whatever he doesn't know,

1285
01:06:58,320 --> 01:07:00,400
Speaker 2: how soone trusted saying hey, what do you think? And

1286
01:07:00,440 --> 01:07:04,560
Speaker 2: he'll delegate responsibilities. And you know, if JJ wanted to,

1287
01:07:04,960 --> 01:07:08,480
Speaker 2: he could delegate all the responsibilities to his assistance. You

1288
01:07:08,520 --> 01:07:11,080
Speaker 2: know that here you take the offense, you take the defense.

1289
01:07:11,320 --> 01:07:16,600
Speaker 2: You know, I've seen teams where the substitution patterns are

1290
01:07:16,640 --> 01:07:17,919
Speaker 2: not even done by the head coach.

1291
01:07:17,960 --> 01:07:19,200
Speaker 3: He doesn't know who' subbing in the game.

1292
01:07:19,520 --> 01:07:21,360
Speaker 1: That is where the analytics team takes over.

1293
01:07:21,480 --> 01:07:24,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Sometimes it's analytics. Sometimes it's another coach

1294
01:07:24,560 --> 01:07:28,000
Speaker 2: that's trusted because he's saying, hey, look for who's tired,

1295
01:07:28,040 --> 01:07:30,360
Speaker 2: look for who's rolling, Look look for those things. You

1296
01:07:30,360 --> 01:07:33,640
Speaker 2: know you it's called trusting the eye of your assistance.

1297
01:07:33,840 --> 01:07:35,840
Speaker 2: You know you don't want to, you know, take on

1298
01:07:35,960 --> 01:07:38,680
Speaker 2: such a responsibility and you could say, hey, I'm going

1299
01:07:38,720 --> 01:07:40,800
Speaker 2: to focus on the strategy part, I'm gonna I'm gonna

1300
01:07:40,800 --> 01:07:43,600
Speaker 2: focus on the plays, or you know, however JJ wants.

1301
01:07:43,400 --> 01:07:43,680
Speaker 3: To do it.

1302
01:07:43,680 --> 01:07:46,640
Speaker 2: But every team and every coaching coaching staff at the

1303
01:07:46,720 --> 01:07:51,680
Speaker 2: NBA level is different, and it obviously can get you know,

1304
01:07:51,760 --> 01:07:57,320
Speaker 2: incantrc and oh my goodness, my vocabulties all all over

1305
01:07:57,360 --> 01:07:59,920
Speaker 2: the place. But it can get you know, tougher and

1306
01:08:00,200 --> 01:08:01,960
Speaker 2: even more intricate in different places.

1307
01:08:02,280 --> 01:08:04,680
Speaker 1: I was trying to figure out what word it was like, No,

1308
01:08:04,720 --> 01:08:07,720
Speaker 1: I didn't want to anticipate it, but yeah, to that point,

1309
01:08:08,360 --> 01:08:11,800
Speaker 1: like all leadership, right, you delegate where you can until

1310
01:08:11,800 --> 01:08:16,520
Speaker 1: there's pushback. You see how far you can push the envelope.

1311
01:08:16,560 --> 01:08:21,360
Speaker 1: There's no question about it. Every week A moving a

1312
01:08:21,400 --> 01:08:24,559
Speaker 1: fine line at the Ryot Hollins fivey over rat swallowing up.

1313
01:08:24,680 --> 01:08:24,880
Speaker 2: Hey.

1314
01:08:25,000 --> 01:08:28,439
Speaker 1: Joel Embiid injected himself into the goat conversation as well,

1315
01:08:29,439 --> 01:08:32,280
Speaker 1: going back to Dwayne Wade Company. Yeah. In an interview

1316
01:08:32,280 --> 01:08:36,400
Speaker 1: with David Marchesi or Marchase of The New York Times,

1317
01:08:36,960 --> 01:08:38,800
Speaker 1: he agreed with the premise that he could have been

1318
01:08:38,880 --> 01:08:41,800
Speaker 1: viewed as a goat candidate had he been healthier over

1319
01:08:41,840 --> 01:08:45,640
Speaker 1: the course of his career, even though he's really not

1320
01:08:45,800 --> 01:08:48,599
Speaker 1: got a whole lot in terms of accolades. On that

1321
01:08:49,439 --> 01:08:51,320
Speaker 1: resume right now, quote I think so, I think I'm

1322
01:08:51,600 --> 01:08:55,920
Speaker 1: that talented, obviously need to win championships. To win championships,

1323
01:08:55,960 --> 01:08:58,920
Speaker 1: you need other guys. Hey, I'm great. Don't blame me. No,

1324
01:08:59,280 --> 01:09:02,400
Speaker 1: that that's in me. With an excited utterance back to

1325
01:09:02,439 --> 01:09:04,599
Speaker 1: the quote, you can't do it by yourself. I want

1326
01:09:04,600 --> 01:09:06,600
Speaker 1: to win so bad. But if you don't, you just

1327
01:09:06,600 --> 01:09:08,400
Speaker 1: got to understand that as long as you care about

1328
01:09:08,400 --> 01:09:11,519
Speaker 1: the right stuff, if it doesn't happen, maybe it wasn't

1329
01:09:11,600 --> 01:09:14,640
Speaker 1: meant to happen. And he cites the injuries early on,

1330
01:09:14,920 --> 01:09:17,840
Speaker 1: quote freak injuries that held him back over the years.

1331
01:09:17,880 --> 01:09:19,840
Speaker 1: And we remember the start of his career.

1332
01:09:20,080 --> 01:09:20,720
Speaker 3: I mean, I was.

1333
01:09:20,680 --> 01:09:23,200
Speaker 1: Concerned that we'd never really get to see Joel and

1334
01:09:23,320 --> 01:09:27,639
Speaker 1: Bed play any meaningful basketball during the trust the process mode,

1335
01:09:27,680 --> 01:09:30,800
Speaker 1: and it's carved out a pretty good career. Now, obviously

1336
01:09:30,920 --> 01:09:34,000
Speaker 1: injuries are still a very big part of his narrative.

1337
01:09:34,320 --> 01:09:36,840
Speaker 1: But any type of guy just raises his hand goes,

1338
01:09:36,840 --> 01:09:39,720
Speaker 1: oh yeah, I could have been the goat makes me enter,

1339
01:09:40,040 --> 01:09:43,640
Speaker 1: It entertains me. I don't like the goat comparisons necessarily,

1340
01:09:43,840 --> 01:09:45,720
Speaker 1: but I do like when guys try to stack their

1341
01:09:45,760 --> 01:09:50,240
Speaker 1: resume into the pile or their athletic aptitude.

1342
01:09:50,640 --> 01:09:52,880
Speaker 3: I mean, would you expect anything less from Joelle?

1343
01:09:53,400 --> 01:09:54,240
Speaker 1: No, that's who he is.

1344
01:09:54,560 --> 01:09:56,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's uber confidence.

1345
01:09:56,439 --> 01:09:59,280
Speaker 1: It's one of the greatest interviews and sound bites that

1346
01:09:59,280 --> 01:10:00,479
Speaker 1: we've had in recent memory.

1347
01:10:01,080 --> 01:10:05,000
Speaker 2: I mean, because you know Joelle and for many player

1348
01:10:05,000 --> 01:10:07,080
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't mind it, you know, but that

1349
01:10:07,200 --> 01:10:10,240
Speaker 2: those are big ifs and you know maybes. But he's like, hey,

1350
01:10:10,280 --> 01:10:12,960
Speaker 2: I can go pound for pound with anybody, and with

1351
01:10:13,120 --> 01:10:15,680
Speaker 2: his dominance, man, Joel, it's special. So you know, you

1352
01:10:15,720 --> 01:10:20,599
Speaker 2: can't just just blow off what he's saying. But yeah,

1353
01:10:20,680 --> 01:10:22,160
Speaker 2: I don't, look, I don't, I don't mind it. I

1354
01:10:22,200 --> 01:10:23,200
Speaker 2: got no problem with it.

1355
01:10:23,800 --> 01:10:26,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like, you know, either go it's like our job,

1356
01:10:27,040 --> 01:10:29,320
Speaker 1: either love us or hate us. If you're indifferent, then

1357
01:10:29,680 --> 01:10:33,200
Speaker 1: I haven't brought up enough of modest proposals. But yeah,

1358
01:10:33,320 --> 01:10:37,040
Speaker 1: we got five All NBA selections, seven All Star nods,

1359
01:10:37,479 --> 01:10:40,839
Speaker 1: three All Defensive team selects, a couple of scoring titles,

1360
01:10:40,880 --> 01:10:43,760
Speaker 1: and of course the MVP. We'll talk more about Joel

1361
01:10:43,800 --> 01:10:48,680
Speaker 1: Embiid and his new teammate, maybe stacking the opportunity for

1362
01:10:48,760 --> 01:10:50,920
Speaker 1: him to win that elusive title. We'll do that coming

1363
01:10:50,960 --> 01:10:52,800
Speaker 1: up in about twenty minutes from now. But now it's

1364
01:10:52,840 --> 01:10:56,559
Speaker 1: time for Isaac Loehenkron to wow us, to thrill us

1365
01:10:57,240 --> 01:11:02,400
Speaker 1: with sounds of sporting events. What do you got, ILove?

1366
01:11:02,560 --> 01:11:07,280
Speaker 7: I got Scottie Scheffler as we speak, attempting a birdie

1367
01:11:07,280 --> 01:11:09,360
Speaker 7: putt in the final round of the British Open to

1368
01:11:09,439 --> 01:11:11,240
Speaker 7: move within one shot of the lead.

1369
01:11:11,360 --> 01:11:12,559
Speaker 6: Let's listen doing.

1370
01:11:12,320 --> 01:11:17,160
Speaker 12: Our commentary team for a few seconds. Cheffler places the

1371
01:11:17,200 --> 01:11:25,360
Speaker 12: ball three underpar birdie on seven. Terrific, terrific t shot

1372
01:11:25,400 --> 01:11:29,479
Speaker 12: here on the postage stampamp. He's starting to prowl and

1373
01:11:29,520 --> 01:11:30,440
Speaker 12: he's starting.

1374
01:11:30,120 --> 01:11:31,040
Speaker 2: To look menacing.

1375
01:11:32,400 --> 01:11:33,240
Speaker 1: What sport is this?

1376
01:11:33,320 --> 01:11:37,439
Speaker 12: He's gonna start to hold up bag this sort of range,

1377
01:11:37,840 --> 01:11:41,040
Speaker 12: the crowd will tell us. Scheffler rolls it forward.

1378
01:11:43,280 --> 01:11:46,400
Speaker 2: The crowd do that job, but more importantly so tooed At.

1379
01:11:46,320 --> 01:11:50,240
Speaker 12: Scottie Scheffler consecuted Bertie's for the world number one.

1380
01:11:50,280 --> 01:11:51,920
Speaker 2: Here Harry, he moves to four under.

1381
01:11:52,520 --> 01:11:56,400
Speaker 7: Again it's Isaac, not Harry, So Scottie Scheffler indeed with

1382
01:11:56,640 --> 01:12:02,360
Speaker 7: that birdie just seconds ago the call on on Open Radio.

1383
01:12:02,640 --> 01:12:04,519
Speaker 6: Now one shot off the lead.

1427
01:14:37,880 --> 01:14:42,360
Speaker 1: of the uh, you know A Frozen Dessert Supplies is

1428
01:14:42,360 --> 01:14:45,200
Speaker 1: what their their title is. And then there's some surveys

1429
01:14:45,240 --> 01:14:48,000
Speaker 1: out there, so there's a little bit of variations but

1430
01:14:49,080 --> 01:14:52,599
Speaker 1: off sales volume and such. So we don't get deep

1431
01:14:52,640 --> 01:14:56,600

Speaker 1: are you an ice cream guy?

1434
01:15:04,080 --> 01:15:08,080

1464
01:16:30,600 --> 01:16:32,240
Speaker 1: the same euphoria.

1465
01:16:32,600 --> 01:16:34,800
Speaker 3: Oh no, no, no, no, wait, I take it as.

1466
01:16:34,720 --> 01:16:37,120
Speaker 1: A personal slight in the front. You're saying, this is

1467
01:16:37,160 --> 01:16:39,439
Speaker 1: happy time. You're about to call a game that we're

01:16:39,439 --> 01:16:43,200
Speaker 1: gonna go out and bust our butts for. And no see,

1469
01:16:43,240 --> 01:16:46,760
Speaker 1: I'm trying to create rival reason, more animosity, kind of

1470
01:16:46,800 --> 01:16:47,439
Speaker 1: like you and I love.

1471
01:16:49,080 --> 01:16:51,040
Speaker 3: I mean, I lo I loove just I don't know

1472
01:16:51,080 --> 01:16:51,880
Speaker 3: where this comes from.

1473
01:16:52,000 --> 01:16:55,080
Speaker 7: I hate to I hate to put another log on

1474
01:16:55,240 --> 01:16:59,960
Speaker 7: the simmering feud. But was it an ice cream Sunday

1475
01:17:00,040 --> 01:17:05,400
Speaker 7: a machine or was it a Sunday station slash Sunday bar.

1476
01:17:05,800 --> 01:17:07,040
Speaker 3: No, it's a Sunday machine.

1477
01:17:07,080 --> 01:17:09,120
Speaker 2: And we're so happy that the Sunday machine is in

1478
01:17:09,160 --> 01:17:10,599
Speaker 2: Toyotas and you gotta use it.

1479
01:17:10,600 --> 01:17:12,920
Speaker 7: Wait a minute, you have a machine that makes an

1480
01:17:13,120 --> 01:17:14,799
Speaker 7: entire ice cream Sunday.

1481
01:17:15,040 --> 01:17:18,000
Speaker 2: No, it's it's soft serve. It's soft served.

1482
01:17:18,120 --> 01:17:21,040
Speaker 7: There's a big difference between a soft serve machine and

1483
01:17:21,080 --> 01:17:22,240
Speaker 7: a Sunday machine.

1484
01:17:22,360 --> 01:17:24,880
Speaker 3: We're just happy to have something like a Sunday machine.

1485
01:17:24,960 --> 01:17:26,760
Speaker 1: Ilo tried to stir it up over there. I was

1486
01:17:26,800 --> 01:17:29,559
Speaker 1: just gonna let it go. I was gonna let it go.

1487
01:17:29,800 --> 01:17:31,960
Speaker 1: You were you were drifting into your happy place.

1488
01:17:32,040 --> 01:17:35,280
Speaker 7: I mean, a Sunday Machine is instant Nobel Prize in

1489
01:17:35,360 --> 01:17:36,320
Speaker 7: my opinion.

1490
01:17:35,960 --> 01:17:40,000
Speaker 1: How about that nicely done? Bringing peace? Anybody want to

1491
01:17:40,000 --> 01:17:42,120
Speaker 1: guess with the number one flavor of ice cream in

1492
01:17:42,400 --> 01:17:46,720
Speaker 1: our country is vanilla. It's pretty sad, but yeah, you're right,

1493
01:17:46,800 --> 01:17:47,360
Speaker 1: Chris profess.

1494
01:17:47,439 --> 01:17:49,040
Speaker 14: No, that's not sad at all. We need to stop

1495
01:17:49,040 --> 01:17:52,840
Speaker 14: disrespecting vanilla. Vanilla is a bean that the entire world

1496
01:17:52,880 --> 01:17:55,800
Speaker 14: fought fought for, that for the longest time was considered

1497
01:17:55,840 --> 01:18:00,320
Speaker 14: like vanilla. Vanilla bean extract was like a princely thing

1498
01:18:00,479 --> 01:18:03,799
Speaker 14: that people aspired for. And now we've somehow made vanilla

1499
01:18:03,880 --> 01:18:06,599
Speaker 14: to mean boring and playing. I don't get it.

1500
01:18:06,720 --> 01:18:09,479
Speaker 1: Well, that that's you. You basically said it properly. It

1501
01:18:09,520 --> 01:18:12,000
Speaker 1: was once upon a time, this is what people fought for.

1502
01:18:12,360 --> 01:18:15,559
Speaker 1: That battle is over. Yeah, lobster.

1503
01:18:15,640 --> 01:18:18,920
Speaker 14: Lobster used to be considered peasant food and somehow, like things,

1504
01:18:18,960 --> 01:18:21,040
Speaker 14: things change. But also I want respect back on the

1505
01:18:21,120 --> 01:18:25,639
Speaker 14: name of vanilla. Actual vanilla bean strong, vanilla bean flavor

1506
01:18:25,720 --> 01:18:26,720
Speaker 14: is fantastic.

1507
01:18:26,320 --> 01:18:29,080
Speaker 1: That's just it. Most of it is watered down and

1508
01:18:29,120 --> 01:18:32,320
Speaker 1: not true vanilla ice cream. Right, it's we we go

1509
01:18:32,439 --> 01:18:35,519
Speaker 1: to the chemicals and everything else to replace the natural flavor.

1510
01:18:35,520 --> 01:18:39,920
Speaker 1: I would agree with you that the true vanilla bean

1511
01:18:40,280 --> 01:18:42,840
Speaker 1: would get it done. But that's not where're at. Everybody

1512
01:18:42,880 --> 01:18:44,559
Speaker 1: want to guess. We got a top ten list in

1513
01:18:44,560 --> 01:18:47,160
Speaker 1: front of us. Bring you want to take a shot

1514
01:18:47,200 --> 01:18:50,360
Speaker 1: at what aut America's palette for number two.

1515
01:18:50,439 --> 01:18:53,160
Speaker 6: I would say chalk or just general Yeah, yeah, I

1516
01:18:53,160 --> 01:18:54,040
Speaker 6: would probably throw.

1517
01:18:54,000 --> 01:18:58,880
Speaker 1: Chocolate in there. The top five two. Yeah, So we're

1518
01:18:58,960 --> 01:19:01,600
Speaker 1: keeping to the basic. We're the old There's a Simpsons

1519
01:19:02,360 --> 01:19:05,840
Speaker 1: bit from Homer from years and years and years ago.

1520
01:19:05,840 --> 01:19:08,519
Speaker 1: It's an early episode where he goes into the freezer

1521
01:19:08,760 --> 01:19:11,120
Speaker 1: and they pull out the Neapolitan, which is number ten

1522
01:19:11,160 --> 01:19:13,120
Speaker 1: on the list, by the way, and he goes, mmm,

1523
01:19:13,400 --> 01:19:15,960
Speaker 1: chocolate and he opens it and all the chocolate's been

1524
01:19:15,960 --> 01:19:19,400
Speaker 1: eaten out. It's all the vanilla and strawberry remaining. And

1525
01:19:19,720 --> 01:19:24,680
Speaker 1: they pulls out another box Neapolitan chocolate, and there's the vanilla. Marge,

1526
01:19:24,840 --> 01:19:28,960
Speaker 1: we need more chocolate, vanilla and strawberry ice cream, and

1527
01:19:29,000 --> 01:19:32,799
Speaker 1: he's got just a tot of the others in the fridge. Islo,

1528
01:19:33,120 --> 01:19:33,719
Speaker 1: you're up.

1529
01:19:37,040 --> 01:19:40,880
Speaker 7: Strawberry, I mean strawberry. I would get eight, number eight.

1530
01:19:41,320 --> 01:19:43,880
Speaker 7: That's interesting. Three through seven intrigue me.

1531
01:19:44,160 --> 01:19:46,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, so we've got one too. Eight and ten are

1532
01:19:46,800 --> 01:19:50,160
Speaker 1: off the board because I took neapolitan Ryan Hollins another

1533
01:19:50,240 --> 01:19:51,879
Speaker 1: shot in the offing here.

1534
01:19:51,960 --> 01:19:55,920
Speaker 3: You took strawberry off right, Yeah, he just took that coffee.

1535
01:19:56,280 --> 01:19:58,280
Speaker 6: Ah, you said coffee two.

1536

Speaker 3: Of America's favorite. We know Rocky ro is on there,

1537
01:20:00,560 --> 01:20:03,040
Speaker 3: but coffee.

1538
01:20:03,320 --> 01:20:04,120
Speaker 1: Rocky Road is not.

1539
01:20:04,479 --> 01:20:06,400
Speaker 6: What Yeah, that list is not.

1540
01:20:07,479 --> 01:20:10,120
Speaker 1: Coffee is like if I was making the list. Yeah,

1541
01:20:10,160 --> 01:20:14,479
Speaker 1: it gets up there. Cookies and cream comes in. Okay, okay, okay,

1542
01:20:14,760 --> 01:20:19,760
Speaker 1: mint chocolate that was and off of that, anybody want

1543
01:20:19,800 --> 01:20:24,519
Speaker 1: to guess what the next one would be? Potashio. There's no,

1544
01:20:27,160 --> 01:20:32,000
Speaker 1: it's just bass cookie dough makes an appearance, buttered pecan

1545
01:20:36,520 --> 01:20:41,720
Speaker 1: birthday cake what that's a recent trend though, birthday cake

Speaker 1: and all magic stuff and then moose.

1549
01:20:50,479 --> 01:20:54,439
Speaker 1: talked about the loss of a Clipper star and what

1550
01:20:54,520 --> 01:20:58,360
Speaker 1: it meant for his owner. Next on Fox, you're listening

Speaker 1: There you go, the Power Hour. Arnie Spanier somewhere is smiling.

Speaker 1: com the way tire buying should be. Speaking of Arnie Spaniard,

1578
01:22:35,880 --> 01:22:38,160
Speaker 1: I literally just a couple of minutes ago, got some

1579
01:22:38,240 --> 01:22:40,920
Speaker 1: text from him about a movie that's coming out, and

1580
01:22:40,960 --> 01:22:45,000
Speaker 1: he thought, maybe we should just discuss it here. Potential

1581
01:22:46,000 --> 01:22:49,840
Speaker 1: chaos and an open casting call that maybe I can

1582
01:22:49,920 --> 01:22:53,240
Speaker 1: fit into you at seven feet. I don't know that

1583
01:22:53,280 --> 01:22:55,200
Speaker 1: you fit the description of what they're looking for, but

1584
01:22:55,240 --> 01:22:57,960
Speaker 1: you know what, we'll try anyway. Coming up a little

1585
01:22:58,000 --> 01:23:01,680
Speaker 1: bit later on, we're talking about Joel embiid earlier, the

1586
01:23:01,800 --> 01:23:04,720
Speaker 1: idea of hey, I could have been, you know, in

1587
01:23:04,840 --> 01:23:09,920
Speaker 1: the Goat conversation if not for some injuries, and looking

1588
01:23:09,960 --> 01:23:13,320
Speaker 1: at his resume, what's missing the big win? Right? So

1589
01:23:13,439 --> 01:23:15,800
Speaker 1: now we try to figure out and read the tea

1590
01:23:15,840 --> 01:23:19,800
Speaker 1: leaves what happened and Steve Balmer of the Clippers as

1591
01:23:19,840 --> 01:23:22,639
Speaker 1: they get ready to open the end to It dome

1592
01:23:22,720 --> 01:23:25,880
Speaker 1: and we're seeing all the clips and the pomp and circumstance,

1593
01:23:25,960 --> 01:23:29,200
Speaker 1: the pageantry, the high school Jersey Wall to me, is

1594
01:23:29,240 --> 01:23:32,720
Speaker 1: one of the coolest things that they've done. So when

1595
01:23:32,720 --> 01:23:35,320
Speaker 1: you go to a concert or a Clippers game, you'll

1596
01:23:35,320 --> 01:23:39,360
Speaker 1: get to see that there. But from Steve Balmer talking

1597
01:23:39,400 --> 01:23:44,120
Speaker 1: about losing Paul George to the seventy six ers and

1598
01:23:44,160 --> 01:23:46,679
Speaker 1: what it you know what it means to him saying

1599
01:23:46,760 --> 01:23:50,480
Speaker 1: he hated it. It gutted him. Quote from a basketball perspective,

1600
01:23:50,520 --> 01:23:53,720
Speaker 1: Paul's a fantastic player, future Hall of Famer. But we

1601
01:23:53,800 --> 01:23:56,960
Speaker 1: knew we needed to continue to get better and with

1602
01:23:57,000 --> 01:24:02,960
Speaker 1: the new CBA, what tools, what flexibility, parenthetical can be restricted?

1603
01:24:03,280 --> 01:24:05,840
Speaker 1: We made Paul what I consider a great offer, but

1604
01:24:05,920 --> 01:24:07,679
Speaker 1: it was a great offer in terms of us thinking

1605
01:24:07,680 --> 01:24:11,320
Speaker 1: about how to win championships. It wasn't what Paul wanted.

1606
01:24:12,840 --> 01:24:15,439
Speaker 1: And we talked about this a bit last week. Ryan

1607
01:24:15,520 --> 01:24:19,599
Speaker 1: with this first public statements and trying to go through

1608
01:24:19,640 --> 01:24:23,280
Speaker 1: the decision process again, the Team USA Kawhi Leonard thing,

1609
01:24:23,520 --> 01:24:26,479
Speaker 1: what's real? What's a magic between what Lawrence Frank had

1610
01:24:26,479 --> 01:24:30,400
Speaker 1: to say about the decision being all in Team USA's

1611
01:24:30,800 --> 01:24:34,080
Speaker 1: interests versus them perhaps saying, hey, you know, we'd like

1612
01:24:34,120 --> 01:24:36,439
Speaker 1: our guy healthy for the start of the season. Thank you.

1613
01:24:36,800 --> 01:24:39,759
Speaker 1: Since we did lose Paul George and are now moving forward.

1614
01:24:40,120 --> 01:24:43,040
Speaker 1: But you know, we talked about the second April. We

1615
01:24:43,080 --> 01:24:46,519
Speaker 1: talked about these new rules and the cap that put

1616
01:24:46,560 --> 01:24:51,120
Speaker 1: on and years of service and no trade clauses, and

1617
01:24:51,200 --> 01:24:55,559
Speaker 1: how difficult and restrictive that now makes things for certain

1618
01:24:55,600 --> 01:24:59,120
Speaker 1: squads with the new rules in place. So I think

1619
01:24:59,160 --> 01:25:02,240
Speaker 1: Paul George comes one of the first players where this

1620
01:25:02,320 --> 01:25:04,599
Speaker 1: becomes the new norm in the NBA, when you've got

1621
01:25:04,640 --> 01:25:08,200
Speaker 1: to make the hard decision about where you're gonna be

1622
01:25:08,439 --> 01:25:12,240
Speaker 1: relative to those tax thresholds.

1623
01:25:13,080 --> 01:25:17,679
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know if i'd say that this Clippers

1624
01:25:17,760 --> 01:25:21,680
Speaker 2: situation is a unique one, and it is in the

1625
01:25:21,800 --> 01:25:25,680
Speaker 2: sense because they went all in stacking talent, and I

1626
01:25:25,720 --> 01:25:29,360
Speaker 2: have had no problem with that. Then after they stacked

1627
01:25:29,479 --> 01:25:33,599
Speaker 2: all the talent, you kind of let go of your

1628
01:25:33,640 --> 01:25:37,120
Speaker 2: best asset, which was Paul George. Now I don't know

1629
01:25:37,200 --> 01:25:40,400
Speaker 2: if there was something else, you know, behind the scenes,

1630
01:25:40,520 --> 01:25:44,559
Speaker 2: something personal, whatever it may have been, but there was

1631
01:25:45,560 --> 01:25:49,240
Speaker 2: it seemed like he was more healthy than Kawhi Leonard,

1632
01:25:49,280 --> 01:25:52,679
Speaker 2: and then you let him walk and you signed Kawi,

1633
01:25:52,800 --> 01:25:56,519
Speaker 2: and you know, Kauhi's health has just been in question.

1634
01:25:56,560 --> 01:25:58,160
Speaker 2: I mean, I can't remember how long it's been since

1635
01:25:58,200 --> 01:26:00,320
Speaker 2: he's had a healthy scene. And that's not Kawi fault.

1636
01:26:00,360 --> 01:26:03,439
Speaker 2: That's just part of it. But you extend him and

1637
01:26:03,520 --> 01:26:05,519
Speaker 2: you pay him and you let Paul go, and it's

1638
01:26:05,560 --> 01:26:09,880
Speaker 2: almost insinuating that, you know, Paul was somewhat of the problem,

1639
01:26:09,960 --> 01:26:11,920
Speaker 2: and I'm not saying that he is, but it's like

1640
01:26:11,960 --> 01:26:15,599
Speaker 2: it did just something in there didn't add up. And

1641
01:26:15,720 --> 01:26:17,559
Speaker 2: you know, as we talked about earlier in the show,

1642
01:26:17,720 --> 01:26:21,320
Speaker 2: then the you know, the references to you know, like

1643
01:26:21,680 --> 01:26:24,280
Speaker 2: never seeing and maybe it's happened before, but an organization

1644
01:26:24,439 --> 01:26:28,880
Speaker 2: go out and you know, kind of explain themselves after

1645
01:26:28,920 --> 01:26:31,760
Speaker 2: a move. So it's it's a very unique one. The

1646
01:26:31,760 --> 01:26:34,240
Speaker 2: Clippers are bomber. Hats off the bomber. He's doing a

1647
01:26:34,240 --> 01:26:37,800
Speaker 2: great job, and he's really proactive and trying to get

1648
01:26:37,840 --> 01:26:39,960
Speaker 2: the Clippers to a championship, trying to help them make

1649
01:26:40,160 --> 01:26:42,920
Speaker 2: a name in la Hey, going after the Lakers, going

1650
01:26:42,960 --> 01:26:47,080
Speaker 2: after the big Dog. So yeah, he's worked really really

1651
01:26:47,120 --> 01:26:49,360
Speaker 2: hard on that front, and you know, you got to

1652
01:26:49,400 --> 01:26:53,960
Speaker 2: give him credit. But again, whatever happened with Paul Georgia

1653
01:26:54,000 --> 01:26:55,639
Speaker 2: didn't happen. If they just felt like it was time

1654
01:26:55,680 --> 01:26:57,280
Speaker 2: to move on, I thought a sign and trade would

1655
01:26:57,280 --> 01:27:00,120
Speaker 2: have happened. I thought, hey, maybe last season, you you

1656
01:27:00,240 --> 01:27:02,040
Speaker 2: trade him during the season, you know, that would have

1657
01:27:02,040 --> 01:27:05,920
Speaker 2: been the splash. But you really let him walk and

1658
01:27:06,080 --> 01:27:10,600
Speaker 2: you don't get anything back. That kind of raised some eyebrows,

1659
01:27:10,760 --> 01:27:13,160
Speaker 2: you know. And then Philadelphia is like, hey, we got

1660
01:27:13,160 --> 01:27:16,200
Speaker 2: a max contract for years. So I'm sure Paul's agent

1661
01:27:16,560 --> 01:27:19,439
Speaker 2: went right ahead whenever the news was coming and being shopped,

1662
01:27:19,439 --> 01:27:22,040
Speaker 2: and you know, Philly probably long goes like, we'll max

1663
01:27:22,120 --> 01:27:25,559
Speaker 2: him out now, like no questions, like, we will max

1664
01:27:25,600 --> 01:27:28,559
Speaker 2: out Paul George. You know, tell us whatever we you know,

1665
01:27:28,600 --> 01:27:30,360
Speaker 2: whatever we need to do. If they don't want to

1666
01:27:30,360 --> 01:27:33,320
Speaker 2: make this decision, you know, he'll he'll be with us.

1667
01:27:33,880 --> 01:27:36,080
Speaker 1: Well, what's funny is we had all of those sources

1668
01:27:36,120 --> 01:27:39,320
Speaker 1: you know how much I love those sources out there

1669
01:27:39,360 --> 01:27:42,080
Speaker 1: saying that, you know, weeks ago Philadelphia was out of

1670
01:27:42,080 --> 01:27:44,120
Speaker 1: the running, they were done, They weren't in the Paul

1671
01:27:44,160 --> 01:27:51,240
Speaker 1: George sweepstakes. Liars, bad information, find new sources quote unquote

1672
01:27:51,479 --> 01:27:54,639
Speaker 1: in terms of your information. Now, Kawhi got the three years,

1673
01:27:54,760 --> 01:27:57,679
Speaker 1: one fifty three, and we look at the game log

1674
01:27:57,920 --> 01:28:00,840
Speaker 1: the last few years. Let's go back to twenty nineteen

1675
01:28:00,920 --> 01:28:07,680
Speaker 1: fifty seven, then fifty two, then missed a year, then

1676
01:28:07,760 --> 01:28:10,479
Speaker 1: fifty two, then sixty eight three for one, fifty three,

1677
01:28:11,320 --> 01:28:16,439
Speaker 1: Paul George forty eight, fifty four, thirty one, fifty six,

1678
01:28:16,479 --> 01:28:18,599
Speaker 1: and then he played seventy four this year. Right, and

1679
01:28:18,600 --> 01:28:21,799
Speaker 1: we can go through that, you can go through playoff runs,

1680
01:28:21,840 --> 01:28:25,720
Speaker 1: whatever the question becomes. You know, the sticking point of

1681
01:28:25,720 --> 01:28:29,920
Speaker 1: a no trade clause, which is a rare commodity in

1682
01:28:29,960 --> 01:28:33,080
Speaker 1: the league. Right, they're not handed out a ton and

1683
01:28:33,120 --> 01:28:35,120
Speaker 1: in the end Philadelphia came over the top with the

1684
01:28:35,160 --> 01:28:38,880
Speaker 1: fourth year and another sixty million dollars. Kind of hard

1685
01:28:38,920 --> 01:28:42,400
Speaker 1: to look away from that, right when you get to it,

1686
01:28:42,360 --> 01:28:45,640
Speaker 1: and I agree with you, the sign and trade mechanism

1687
01:28:45,800 --> 01:28:48,840
Speaker 1: seemed like that was on the table for the longest time.

1688
01:28:50,120 --> 01:28:52,760
Speaker 1: And what the truth is, you know, the the two

1689
01:28:52,800 --> 01:28:56,519
Speaker 1: sides of the truth, two sides and what the truth is, right,

1690
01:28:56,520 --> 01:28:59,040
Speaker 1: Exmaul George laid out a lot of the dollars and

1691
01:28:59,120 --> 01:29:03,240
Speaker 1: cents on a podcast. We played clips of it last week.

1692
01:29:03,720 --> 01:29:08,280
Speaker 1: But just the notion that for Steve Balmer, it kills

1693
01:29:08,320 --> 01:29:11,680
Speaker 1: him to let this go, especially when you see what

1694
01:29:12,080 --> 01:29:15,200
Speaker 1: Shake Gilders Alexander has become, right, because that's how a

1695
01:29:15,200 --> 01:29:18,320
Speaker 1: lot of this is now measured in terms of success

1696
01:29:18,400 --> 01:29:22,240
Speaker 1: slash failure. I've joked about the street lights over spotlights,

1697
01:29:23,080 --> 01:29:26,200
Speaker 1: you know billboards that were in between all the lawyer ads. Like,

1698
01:29:26,280 --> 01:29:29,280
Speaker 1: right now those are all Jim Harbaugh ads. But for once,

1699
01:29:29,479 --> 01:29:33,240
Speaker 1: for a while, it was Lawyer number one, you know,

1700
01:29:33,360 --> 01:29:35,920
Speaker 1: you come with me, I'll get you these damages. Whatever,

1701
01:29:36,240 --> 01:29:39,280
Speaker 1: cute cartoon logo of the guy whatever. Next thing was

1702
01:29:39,320 --> 01:29:42,759
Speaker 1: the Clippers billboard. Next one was Lawyer number two telling

1703
01:29:42,800 --> 01:29:45,280
Speaker 1: you about you know, if you don't if Billy doesn't

1704
01:29:45,360 --> 01:29:48,080
Speaker 1: like you in your office, you know, and he's mean

1705
01:29:48,160 --> 01:29:50,559
Speaker 1: to you, call me and we'll get you a settlement,

1706
01:29:51,160 --> 01:29:54,040
Speaker 1: followed by another Clippers ad, followed by Lawyer number three.

1707
01:29:54,040 --> 01:29:56,760
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the way the billboards work in southern California.

1708
01:29:57,160 --> 01:29:58,760
Speaker 1: And right now it's just a lot of pictures of

1709
01:29:58,840 --> 01:30:01,320
Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh stare and back at me. But the no

1710
01:30:01,439 --> 01:30:07,080
Speaker 1: trade clause certainly rings big. But the fact that everybody

1711
01:30:07,800 --> 01:30:12,280
Speaker 1: reduced the era for lack of a better term, right

1712
01:30:12,320 --> 01:30:15,080
Speaker 1: the Taylor swift eras tour and all that fun. We

1713
01:30:15,439 --> 01:30:18,000
Speaker 1: measure things in era that it's a failure because you

1714
01:30:18,000 --> 01:30:20,960
Speaker 1: didn't win a title. Well, winning titles are It's a

1715
01:30:20,960 --> 01:30:25,000
Speaker 1: difficult proposition, there's no question about it. But it's now

1716
01:30:25,080 --> 01:30:28,400
Speaker 1: in the what did it cost you to put this together?

1717
01:30:28,560 --> 01:30:28,720
Speaker 3: Right?

1718
01:30:28,760 --> 01:30:32,120
Speaker 1: To get Kawhi to come first, to bring Paul George along,

1719
01:30:32,400 --> 01:30:35,599
Speaker 1: all of the draft picks plush now a guy who's

1720
01:30:35,760 --> 01:30:40,559
Speaker 1: fighting for MVP consideration in Gildas Alexander. I think that's

1721
01:30:40,640 --> 01:30:44,000
Speaker 1: the hardest fit thing for Clipper fans, and I think

1722
01:30:44,000 --> 01:30:47,360
Speaker 1: for Steve Balmer, you know, with the outside noise trying

1723
01:30:47,400 --> 01:30:51,360
Speaker 1: to resolve into that building as they look to reconstruct

1724
01:30:51,360 --> 01:30:54,559
Speaker 1: a squad and still contend well.

1725
01:30:55,000 --> 01:30:58,200
Speaker 2: Again, I don't blame Bomber in that. There's a number

1726
01:30:58,240 --> 01:31:00,479
Speaker 2: of teams that would have done the exact same thing.

1727
01:31:01,240 --> 01:31:04,639
Speaker 2: Why do I say that when Kawhi Leonard came, Kawhi

1728
01:31:04,680 --> 01:31:08,920
Speaker 2: Leonard did not believe in Shay Gills Alexander and at

1729
01:31:08,960 --> 01:31:10,759
Speaker 2: the time nobody knew that.

1730
01:31:10,640 --> 01:31:14,439
Speaker 1: He was going to be a good player, But to

1731
01:31:14,479 --> 01:31:15,519
Speaker 1: be what he is now.

1732
01:31:15,439 --> 01:31:17,719
Speaker 3: Now, yeah, that would be a lie.

1733
01:31:18,200 --> 01:31:22,000
Speaker 2: So what happened is when Kawhi was coming in, he

1734
01:31:22,080 --> 01:31:24,959
Speaker 2: kind of went to the organizations and I think Kawhi

1735
01:31:25,560 --> 01:31:27,360
Speaker 2: didn't maybe either a mix.

1736
01:31:27,400 --> 01:31:28,800
Speaker 3: I don't know. I'm not gonna speak for him. It

1737
01:31:28,840 --> 01:31:30,240
Speaker 3: was either one of the two, and I don't know

1738
01:31:30,280 --> 01:31:30,800
Speaker 3: either one.

1739
01:31:31,000 --> 01:31:34,880
Speaker 2: But Kawhi was very adamant, kind of like, hey, hey,

1740
01:31:35,000 --> 01:31:37,400
Speaker 2: I need help, and maybe he knew, you know, hey,

1741
01:31:37,520 --> 01:31:41,040
Speaker 2: my knee may not be you know, you know up

1742
01:31:41,080 --> 01:31:43,559
Speaker 2: to par you know, my knee may not be what

1743
01:31:43,600 --> 01:31:47,080
Speaker 2: I what I needed or wanted to be. So I

1744
01:31:47,160 --> 01:31:49,400
Speaker 2: need help, you know. Or maybe he you know, I'm

1745
01:31:49,439 --> 01:31:51,000
Speaker 2: sure he probably had a plan. Hey, I'm not going

1746
01:31:51,040 --> 01:31:52,960
Speaker 2: to be playing eighty two games. If I get fifty

1747
01:31:53,000 --> 01:31:56,519
Speaker 2: sixty games in whatever it may be, and we have help,

1748
01:31:56,560 --> 01:31:58,720
Speaker 2: We're not gonna just sink if I don't want to

1749
01:31:58,760 --> 01:32:02,840
Speaker 2: be everything to be on my production. So he goes, hey,

1750
01:32:03,360 --> 01:32:07,519
Speaker 2: I don't think Shay's ready, Go get Paul George and

1751
01:32:07,840 --> 01:32:13,320
Speaker 2: held Clippers held at Ransom, gave everything that way, including

1752
01:32:13,360 --> 01:32:13,880
Speaker 2: Shake Gills.

1753
01:32:13,920 --> 01:32:14,560
Speaker 3: It's Alexander.

1754
01:32:14,640 --> 01:32:17,880
Speaker 2: So but again, the reason the reason I'm recapping this

1755
01:32:18,120 --> 01:32:23,040
Speaker 2: is because there's a number of teams that wanted Kawhi

1756
01:32:23,120 --> 01:32:26,599
Speaker 2: Leonard and would have been that made the same changes,

1757
01:32:27,240 --> 01:32:30,519
Speaker 2: would have would have been aggressive the same way to

1758
01:32:30,640 --> 01:32:33,160
Speaker 2: appease him. So you can't just throw all this shade,

1759
01:32:33,600 --> 01:32:37,120
Speaker 2: you know, the Clippers way, because Kawhi Leonard when they

1760
01:32:37,200 --> 01:32:40,080
Speaker 2: landed him. He was that good fresh off the championship

1761
01:32:40,080 --> 01:32:43,760
Speaker 2: with Toronto, and you know everybody, everybody was going after

1762
01:32:43,840 --> 01:32:45,639
Speaker 2: him and they were the ones that won them.

1763
01:32:46,160 --> 01:32:49,600
Speaker 1: Well, to be fair, there's a lot of things in

1764
01:32:49,640 --> 01:32:53,000
Speaker 1: our sporting world and in the rest of our existence

1765
01:32:53,000 --> 01:32:55,639
Speaker 1: of teams would have done this that the other Steve

1766
01:32:55,680 --> 01:32:59,160
Speaker 1: Balmber was the guy that did so. With that comes

1767
01:32:59,280 --> 01:33:01,840
Speaker 1: if it had worked to the degree of you were

1768
01:33:01,840 --> 01:33:05,240
Speaker 1: hoisting a banner going into the into it Dome, you

1769
01:33:05,240 --> 01:33:08,439
Speaker 1: would have gotten all the praise. Instead, you have what

1770
01:33:08,479 --> 01:33:10,800
Speaker 1: you have now. You took your shot, and I think

1771
01:33:10,800 --> 01:33:13,920
Speaker 1: that's the larger thing as a guy whose teams in

1772
01:33:14,000 --> 01:33:17,280
Speaker 1: his city really don't do a hell of a lot, right,

1773
01:33:17,320 --> 01:33:19,840
Speaker 1: I mean, look at my beloved Bears. They got Caleb

1774
01:33:19,880 --> 01:33:20,639
Speaker 1: Williams this year.

1775
01:33:22,200 --> 01:33:23,160
Speaker 3: You excited for Caleb?

1776
01:33:23,439 --> 01:33:25,840
Speaker 1: I am. But you know, I go back in history,

1777
01:33:25,880 --> 01:33:28,280
Speaker 1: right twenty seventeen, how many people are like, well, they

1778
01:33:28,320 --> 01:33:30,519
Speaker 1: should have drafted Patrick Mahomes. Look what they did. They

1779
01:33:30,600 --> 01:33:33,320
Speaker 1: drafted Mitch Trubisky. No, on paper, the guy they should

1780
01:33:33,320 --> 01:33:35,240
Speaker 1: have drafted would have been to Shaun Watson. How's that

1781
01:33:35,320 --> 01:33:40,280
Speaker 1: worked out? I don't need to relegislate and relitigate. I

1782
01:33:40,280 --> 01:33:42,200
Speaker 1: should say all of the stuff that's gone on to

1783
01:33:42,439 --> 01:33:44,839
Speaker 1: Shaun Watson, and now he's a guy that we're wondering

1784
01:33:44,840 --> 01:33:48,120
Speaker 1: if he's going to be a serviceable quarterback. Let alone

1785
01:33:48,160 --> 01:33:51,920
Speaker 1: find anything that he was in Houston years ago. Look

1786
01:33:51,960 --> 01:33:54,439
Speaker 1: at last year's draft, Well, the Bears traded out of

1787
01:33:54,479 --> 01:33:57,559
Speaker 1: the pick. Who's to say that the brain trust wouldn't

1788
01:33:57,560 --> 01:34:00,960
Speaker 1: have still decided to go with Bryce Young? Right Again,

1789
01:34:01,040 --> 01:34:03,720
Speaker 1: the planet Houston involved here. When we look at c J.

1790
01:34:03,880 --> 01:34:06,080
Speaker 1: Stroud what he did in year one, who's to say

1791
01:34:06,080 --> 01:34:09,120
Speaker 1: they would have gotten that quote unquote right or they

1792
01:34:09,160 --> 01:34:13,200
Speaker 1: would have had the infrastructure and coaching to let c J.

1793
01:34:13,360 --> 01:34:16,000
Speaker 1: Stroud become the player he was, Because I sure as

1794
01:34:16,000 --> 01:34:18,960
Speaker 1: hell know in twenty seventeen the Bears weren't ready and

1795
01:34:19,080 --> 01:34:21,880
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes would not have been that guy in Chicago.

1796
01:34:22,960 --> 01:34:27,639
Speaker 2: I like, how quickly your bear's apologist?

1797
01:34:28,200 --> 01:34:30,280
Speaker 1: What do you mean apologists? I just buried them at

1798
01:34:30,320 --> 01:34:33,639
Speaker 1: every term. There was no There was no apology.

1799
01:34:33,200 --> 01:34:37,760
Speaker 2: There was a little bit of well it doesn't work

1800
01:34:37,840 --> 01:34:40,080
Speaker 2: either here, it didn't work there, it didn't work there.

1801
01:34:40,200 --> 01:34:46,720
Speaker 1: You knowing, that's just stating fact, that is fact. They

1802
01:34:46,760 --> 01:34:52,519
Speaker 1: made the moves. It is I'm expecting them to go right. Yeah,

1803
01:34:52,560 --> 01:34:54,760
Speaker 1: so I didn't apologize. If anything, I took out a

1804
01:34:54,800 --> 01:34:57,880
Speaker 1: giant two by four and started running around like hacks

1805
01:34:57,880 --> 01:34:58,599
Speaker 1: on Jim Duggan.

1806
01:34:59,120 --> 01:35:01,880
Speaker 3: Oh goodness, oh goodness, I love it.

1807
01:35:02,280 --> 01:35:05,000
Speaker 1: And now you know, with all expectations out of the Bears,

1808
01:35:05,160 --> 01:35:08,880
Speaker 1: I'm fully waiting for that overbloated, overweighted thing to sink

1809
01:35:09,400 --> 01:35:12,439
Speaker 1: because everybody's jumped on board the bandwagon. Look at all

1810
01:35:12,439 --> 01:35:16,000
Speaker 1: these skill position players. It can't fail. But the point

1811
01:35:16,080 --> 01:35:19,240
Speaker 1: is when you take a shot right, And that's the thing,

1812
01:35:19,320 --> 01:35:21,640
Speaker 1: going back to twenty seventeen, whatever was going on in

1813
01:35:21,640 --> 01:35:23,920
Speaker 1: the room, they took their shot at a quarterback. Guess what.

1814
01:35:23,960 --> 01:35:28,240
Speaker 1: It didn't work. Didn't work for myriad reasons. It didn't work,

1815
01:35:28,240 --> 01:35:32,880
Speaker 1: And Tchrubisky is now trying to reclaim his world again

1816
01:35:32,920 --> 01:35:35,080
Speaker 1: as a backup, and we'll see what happens there. But

1817
01:35:35,680 --> 01:35:38,000
Speaker 1: it's more just the I want a team that takes

1818
01:35:38,000 --> 01:35:43,800
Speaker 1: a shot White Sox. Yeah, they just wander Bears. They

1819
01:35:43,840 --> 01:35:46,479
Speaker 1: take their their moves and we'll see if there's a

1820
01:35:46,560 --> 01:35:50,080
Speaker 1: chess match here to where it actually pays off. But

1821
01:35:50,800 --> 01:35:55,600
Speaker 1: getting aggressive, you know, is actually the positivity that I

1822
01:35:55,680 --> 01:35:58,639
Speaker 1: take from it. And for Balmer and Company trying to compete,

1823
01:35:58,640 --> 01:36:01,439
Speaker 1: as you said, with the Lakers, a brand that you know,

1824
01:36:01,479 --> 01:36:04,240
Speaker 1: it's a foolhardy effort. You're never winning the city, but

1825
01:36:04,280 --> 01:36:06,200
Speaker 1: you can win that chunk of a city with a

1826
01:36:06,280 --> 01:36:09,280
Speaker 1: title that they took their shot, and now it's time

1827
01:36:09,280 --> 01:36:12,599
Speaker 1: to recalibrate and see what the next generation becomes with

1828
01:36:12,680 --> 01:36:14,160
Speaker 1: Kawhi Leonard as the head of it.

1829
01:36:15,160 --> 01:36:17,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's you got to realize, man, it is

1830
01:36:17,200 --> 01:36:20,120
Speaker 2: so hard to win in sports. There's what there's there's

1831
01:36:20,240 --> 01:36:23,320
Speaker 2: one winner, and there's a lot of people who you know,

1832
01:36:23,439 --> 01:36:26,880
Speaker 2: push the chips all in. So it is it is.

1833
01:36:27,120 --> 01:36:29,640
Speaker 2: It is extremely hard. So that's why when you you

1834
01:36:29,680 --> 01:36:31,080
Speaker 2: got a window, you got to go for it. And

1835
01:36:31,120 --> 01:36:33,880
Speaker 2: keep in mind, keep in mind, let's not forget this

1836
01:36:34,040 --> 01:36:36,519
Speaker 2: was Kawhi Leonard that was doing what he was coming

1837
01:36:36,560 --> 01:36:42,000
Speaker 2: off of a championship in Toronto, so he was sought

1838
01:36:42,040 --> 01:36:43,160
Speaker 2: after and he.

1839
01:36:43,240 --> 01:36:45,120
Speaker 1: Was the same thing we talked about with Lebron. You

1840
01:36:45,200 --> 01:36:46,479
Speaker 1: flex when you can flex.

1841
01:36:46,840 --> 01:36:50,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was. He was, in my opinion, the best

1842
01:36:50,000 --> 01:36:52,920
Speaker 2: player on the planet, including Kevin Durant and Lebron James.

1843
01:36:53,240 --> 01:36:55,680
Speaker 3: He was the best. Steph Curry, Kawhi Leonard was the

1844
01:36:55,680 --> 01:36:56,719
Speaker 3: best player on the planet.

1845
01:36:56,720 --> 01:36:59,160
Speaker 1: Wait wait, wait, is that six ' nine Kevin Durant

1846
01:36:59,240 --> 01:37:00,880
Speaker 1: or the guy that was closed to seven feet?

1847
01:37:01,160 --> 01:37:03,759
Speaker 2: He was always seven feet. I mean he can say

1848
01:37:03,760 --> 01:37:04,439
Speaker 2: six nine.

1849
01:37:04,760 --> 01:37:08,760
Speaker 1: We know what he was owing to an old conversation.

1850
01:37:09,040 --> 01:37:10,800
Speaker 1: I think less of him if he's actually six '

1851
01:37:10,880 --> 01:37:15,640
Speaker 1: nine for his legacy, really yeah, much better story if

1852
01:37:15,640 --> 01:37:17,719
Speaker 1: he's closer to seven feet doing the things he does.

1853
01:37:19,240 --> 01:37:19,759
Speaker 3: It's fair.

1854
01:37:20,360 --> 01:37:24,400
Speaker 1: That's all just my observation. Maybe that can get somebody

1855
01:37:24,439 --> 01:37:26,559
Speaker 1: who's a big Kevin Durant. Maybe Kevin Durant himself will

1856
01:37:26,640 --> 01:37:29,360
Speaker 1: hit me up on Twitter at Swollen Dome right now

1857
01:37:29,840 --> 01:37:32,679
Speaker 1: coming off of that. Take either that or he's working

1858
01:37:32,720 --> 01:37:35,200
Speaker 1: to get himself ready for that warm up against Germany

01:39:40,960 --> 01:39:43,240
Speaker 1: June twenty first, and we're already at the point of like, yeah,

1899
01:39:43,280 --> 01:39:45,200
Speaker 1: it's almost time to start thinking about back to school.

1900
01:39:45,200 --> 01:39:47,720
Speaker 1: I'm seeing the ads, I'm starting to get the brochures

1901
01:39:47,720 --> 01:39:49,360
Speaker 1: in the mailbox. I mean, it's crazy.

1902
01:39:50,840 --> 01:39:53,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll keep it. I'm not ready, I admit it.

1903
01:39:53,280 --> 01:39:54,120
Speaker 3: I'm not ready now.

1904
01:39:54,120 --> 01:39:56,120
Speaker 1: I'm not ready for it either. You know, there's still

1905
01:39:56,160 --> 01:39:58,920
Speaker 1: more summer chaos to have and wherever you are on

1906
01:39:58,960 --> 01:40:02,320
Speaker 1: the highways and byeways, enjoying this Sunday. We appreciate you

1907

Speaker 1: wherever you go Globally. We are a global brand, no

1910
01:40:12,160 --> 01:40:15,559
Speaker 1: question about it. Another global brand, Tom Brady. He goes

1911
01:40:15,600 --> 01:40:19,040
Speaker 1: into the Fox booth. Uh. But you know DeVante Adams,

1912
01:40:19,080 --> 01:40:21,080
Speaker 1: We've used him a lot the last couple of weeks.

1913
01:40:21,080 --> 01:40:25,040
Speaker 1: He's given content for days, showing up on podcasts and

1914
01:40:25,360 --> 01:40:29,040
Speaker 1: television shows, et cetera. But he's looking around Las Vegas

1915
01:40:29,080 --> 01:40:32,160
Speaker 1: and he's got Aidan O'Connell and he's got Gardner Minshew,

1916
01:40:32,200 --> 01:40:35,160
Speaker 1: and he said, hey, what about what about this for

1917
01:40:35,240 --> 01:40:39,160
Speaker 1: a theoretical in terms of maybe bringing Tom Brady back

1918
01:40:39,240 --> 01:40:40,160
Speaker 1: out of retirement.

1919
01:40:41,920 --> 01:40:47,439
Speaker 15: Al Brady Brady, Yes, you wouldn't let me put it

1920
01:40:47,439 --> 01:40:52,080
Speaker 15: to quiet the TX. Hey, I knew that when you said,

1921
01:40:52,120 --> 01:40:53,560
Speaker 15: Tom Brady, I knew what you just said. Let me

1922
01:40:53,600 --> 01:40:54,840
Speaker 15: see what here gonna say. And then you gotta talk

1923
01:40:54,840 --> 01:40:56,120
Speaker 15: about Odie is I don't care.

1924
01:40:57,720 --> 01:40:59,800
Speaker 4: I don't care if you would take Tomy forty seven

1925
01:40:59,800 --> 01:41:01,680
Speaker 4: four right now?

1926
01:41:01,800 --> 01:41:05,040
Speaker 15: Hey, nah, Tomba, I feel about it, man. And the

1927
01:41:05,120 --> 01:41:06,760
Speaker 15: other part is I think I'll be the first person

1928
01:41:06,840 --> 01:41:09,080
Speaker 15: that played with Tom an Aaron, so that that'd be

1929
01:41:09,120 --> 01:41:11,439
Speaker 15: pretty cool. Yeah, I mean he ain't getting older, but

1930
01:41:11,560 --> 01:41:13,439
Speaker 15: I mean he gotta still be able to throw a bit.

1931
01:41:13,520 --> 01:41:15,360
Speaker 15: And then, you know, half these dudes in the league.

1932
01:41:15,280 --> 01:41:20,679
Speaker 1: Can't you know, club Shasha some more Shannon Sharp because

1933
01:41:20,720 --> 01:41:24,160
Speaker 1: he gets guys into conversations, right, Folks can lament the

1934
01:41:24,479 --> 01:41:28,920
Speaker 1: the athlete turned podcast or interview or whatever. There's the

1935
01:41:29,320 --> 01:41:32,720
Speaker 1: asked answered interview style, and then there's the let's talk

1936
01:41:32,800 --> 01:41:35,040
Speaker 1: and maybe you'll give me something a bit crazy, and

1937
01:41:35,160 --> 01:41:38,560
Speaker 1: that's something Shannon Sharp seems to get with some regularity.

1938
01:41:38,760 --> 01:41:40,439
Speaker 1: And in this case, I don't know how crazy it is,

1939
01:41:40,600 --> 01:41:42,920
Speaker 1: especially as I look across the landscape of the league.

1940
01:41:43,160 --> 01:41:45,519
Speaker 1: If I got an offensive line good enough to protect him,

1941
01:41:45,720 --> 01:41:47,280
Speaker 1: I'll take Tom Brady out of retirement.

1942
01:41:47,360 --> 01:41:50,599
Speaker 3: Let's go, man.

1943
01:41:50,760 --> 01:41:55,519
Speaker 2: He it's pretty cleary. He don't want to be I

1944
01:41:55,560 --> 01:41:57,080
Speaker 2: don't even know if they could say he don't want

1945
01:41:57,080 --> 01:41:58,719
Speaker 2: to be a raider. He don't want to be thrown

1946
01:41:58,720 --> 01:42:01,599
Speaker 2: to from Gardner Minshure the other the other quarterback.

1947
01:42:01,960 --> 01:42:03,000
Speaker 3: He's just very clear.

1948
01:42:03,760 --> 01:42:07,080
Speaker 2: I'm not doing it. I'm highly opposed. I don't want

1949
01:42:07,120 --> 01:42:07,880
Speaker 2: to be a part of it.

1950
01:42:09,760 --> 01:42:13,080
Speaker 3: I war those quarterbacks right now. I'm just like, man,

1951
01:42:13,200 --> 01:42:15,519
Speaker 3: I don't know how I feel about devout Adams bit.

1952
01:42:15,880 --> 01:42:18,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, he gave Aidan o'gonnald a little bit about a

1953
01:42:18,720 --> 01:42:21,160
Speaker 1: week ago, gave him a little nod saying, you know,

1954
01:42:21,320 --> 01:42:25,000
Speaker 1: he preferred him, but it was a tepid response, to

1955
01:42:25,120 --> 01:42:28,160
Speaker 1: say the least. And certainly the flirtation with he and

1956
01:42:28,560 --> 01:42:31,519
Speaker 1: and Aaron Rodgers has been out there in the open lots,

1957
01:42:31,560 --> 01:42:35,439
Speaker 1: speculating that eventually Adams does find his way into a

1958
01:42:35,520 --> 01:42:37,960
Speaker 1: New York Jets uniform before it's all said and done.

1959
01:42:38,200 --> 01:42:40,040
Speaker 1: I just like the all right, I'm gonna go on

1960
01:42:40,160 --> 01:42:42,799
Speaker 1: tour because he's part of the Receiver show that's on Netflix.

1961
01:42:42,880 --> 01:42:46,080
Speaker 1: For those that have watched a bit, we played a

1962
01:42:46,160 --> 01:42:49,720
Speaker 1: clip last week where it was in response to a

1963
01:42:49,800 --> 01:42:52,360
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo throw saying I gotta, I gotta get out

1964
01:42:52,360 --> 01:42:55,120
Speaker 1: of here because this guy's gonna get me killed, you know,

1965
01:42:55,280 --> 01:42:58,519
Speaker 1: in you know, paraphrasing, of course, but just the the

1966
01:42:58,640 --> 01:43:00,800
Speaker 1: idea of, yeah, I'm just gonna keep talking this into

1967
01:43:00,920 --> 01:43:05,400
Speaker 1: existence that it creates enough unrest that maybe we find

1968
01:43:05,439 --> 01:43:07,320
Speaker 1: a way to either get me out of here or

1969
01:43:07,400 --> 01:43:11,439
Speaker 1: find me a quarterback that can be commensurate with my

1970
01:43:11,720 --> 01:43:14,720
Speaker 1: skills to make sure I don't drop off. Because you

1971
01:43:14,760 --> 01:43:18,280
Speaker 1: look at what they've assembled there in Nevada. I've actually

1972
01:43:18,360 --> 01:43:21,080
Speaker 1: got some decent skilled position players. He and Jacoby Myers

1973
01:43:21,120 --> 01:43:23,599
Speaker 1: is a pretty good one two combination. Not to mention

1974
01:43:23,760 --> 01:43:26,120
Speaker 1: the two tight ends that they have, but yes, the

1975
01:43:26,360 --> 01:43:30,080
Speaker 1: quarterback position certainly a monster question. And the fact that

1976
01:43:30,160 --> 01:43:32,280
Speaker 1: they want to take he wants to bring Brady back

1977
01:43:32,320 --> 01:43:35,640
Speaker 1: out of the booth. It's like somebody, anybody helped me

1978
01:43:35,720 --> 01:43:38,880
Speaker 1: out here, still caught a hundred balls from the lesser

1979
01:43:38,960 --> 01:43:39,720
Speaker 1: thans a year ago.

1980
01:43:40,640 --> 01:43:43,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I mean that is a strong statement and

1981
01:43:44,640 --> 01:43:47,599
Speaker 2: a man for Brady. Do we think that's I mean, look,

1982
01:43:48,680 --> 01:43:52,479
Speaker 2: I think we've all learned not to count out Tom Brady. Obviously,

1983
01:43:52,680 --> 01:43:55,519
Speaker 2: Tom's you know, I accused are He's shown he can

1984
01:43:55,560 --> 01:44:00,680
Speaker 2: play the position forever. And I mean, here's the reality too,

1985
01:44:01,160 --> 01:44:04,040
Speaker 2: we plan it. We live in a in a day

1986
01:44:04,080 --> 01:44:08,920
Speaker 2: and age where these guys speak their minds. And when

1987
01:44:08,960 --> 01:44:12,640
Speaker 2: they speak their minds, you know, these are the conversations

1988
01:44:12,720 --> 01:44:16,200
Speaker 2: that would have been had you know, behind closed doors

1989
01:44:16,800 --> 01:44:20,840
Speaker 2: that you are now just hearing live. You know, and

1990
01:44:20,960 --> 01:44:24,920
Speaker 2: your athletes have always spoken like this, But you're actually

1991
01:44:25,000 --> 01:44:28,400
Speaker 2: hearing it. So that's something that people are going to

1992
01:44:28,520 --> 01:44:30,640
Speaker 2: have to, you know, be able to stomach. And they

1993
01:44:30,680 --> 01:44:33,360
Speaker 2: gets so offended with guys make statements and Mike, you

1994
01:44:33,439 --> 01:44:35,200
Speaker 2: remember there was a time where you're going, man, I

1995
01:44:35,280 --> 01:44:38,400
Speaker 2: wish I could you know, hear, you know, how my

1996
01:44:38,520 --> 01:44:41,400
Speaker 2: favorite athlete feel and see the things and said, well

1997
01:44:41,439 --> 01:44:44,800
Speaker 2: you do. And I think it's a larger conversation even too,

1998
01:44:44,880 --> 01:44:47,960
Speaker 2: where you know, Lebron has taken a lot of knocks

1999
01:44:48,000 --> 01:44:50,800
Speaker 2: and a lot of hits because of it in the

2000
01:44:50,960 --> 01:44:54,560
Speaker 2: sense that you know, Lebron is allowed. He shared his

2001
01:44:55,040 --> 01:44:58,479
Speaker 2: his life, he shared his family, look at Bronni. He

2002
01:44:58,600 --> 01:45:01,519
Speaker 2: shared a lot of these things with the common public.

2003
01:45:01,720 --> 01:45:05,479
Speaker 2: And you know you didn't get that acxis you know

2004
01:45:06,000 --> 01:45:09,280
Speaker 2: from you know, the stars of our childhood. So I

2005
01:45:09,800 --> 01:45:11,720
Speaker 2: think you gotta kind of take it with a grain

2006
01:45:11,800 --> 01:45:14,280
Speaker 2: of salt. But with Devanta, you're hearing exactly how he

2007
01:45:14,400 --> 01:45:17,120
Speaker 2: feels in these situations, and I think there's a mix

2008
01:45:17,200 --> 01:45:20,080
Speaker 2: of both where you know, you're just hearing how he

2009
01:45:20,320 --> 01:45:24,960
Speaker 2: genuinely feels, and then there's a mix of him definitely

2010
01:45:25,000 --> 01:45:26,600
Speaker 2: trying to get out of the situation he's in.

2011
01:45:27,360 --> 01:45:30,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, man, like it comes down to the give me

2012
01:45:30,200 --> 01:45:33,400
Speaker 1: the James Harden to just tell me you're done. Yes, Right,

2013
01:45:33,520 --> 01:45:35,720
Speaker 1: when players get down to it, like the Lebron thing,

2014
01:45:36,040 --> 01:45:38,160
Speaker 1: you know, he loses in a lot of ways because

2015
01:45:38,960 --> 01:45:41,040
Speaker 1: you don't feel like you're getting the full truth from him,

2016
01:45:41,479 --> 01:45:45,479
Speaker 1: right whatever he says, because like this whole jj reddick

2017
01:45:45,800 --> 01:45:48,160
Speaker 1: Bronny thing whatever saying, Hey, I had nothing to do

2018
01:45:48,240 --> 01:45:49,920
Speaker 1: with this. Nobody believes you.

2019
01:45:50,280 --> 01:45:53,280
Speaker 2: Well, well, this one is believe This one is a

2020
01:45:53,320 --> 01:45:54,599
Speaker 2: lot back in history.

2021
01:45:54,640 --> 01:45:56,360
Speaker 1: There's a bunch of others where it's just kind of

2022
01:45:56,400 --> 01:45:57,719
Speaker 1: like you're giving me half truths.

2023
01:45:57,960 --> 01:46:00,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I'm not talking to forgive me. I'm

2024
01:46:00,240 --> 01:46:02,960
Speaker 2: not talking to half troops. I'm talking about just the access.

2025
01:46:03,200 --> 01:46:06,559
Speaker 1: Well, but that like it's just a time and space

2026
01:46:06,640 --> 01:46:08,519
Speaker 1: where you can't hide no matter what you try to

2027
01:46:08,600 --> 01:46:10,840
Speaker 1: do though, right and Lebron.

2028
01:46:10,680 --> 01:46:15,519
Speaker 2: Makes Lebron more than any other megastar at that level,

2029
01:46:16,080 --> 01:46:19,439
Speaker 2: has made a strong choice to go out and speak

2030
01:46:19,479 --> 01:46:23,200
Speaker 2: his mind and to have we have access to Lebron

2031
01:46:23,280 --> 01:46:26,760
Speaker 2: that we have not had to any other superstar. There's

2032
01:46:26,880 --> 01:46:30,120
Speaker 2: no other superstar megastar on the planet or let alone.

2033
01:46:30,160 --> 01:46:32,519
Speaker 2: Let's just say of the goats that we get this

2034
01:46:32,640 --> 01:46:34,280
Speaker 2: access to well, but we did not.

2035
01:46:34,479 --> 01:46:36,000
Speaker 1: But well we get to the goats. I mean again,

2036
01:46:36,000 --> 01:46:38,040
Speaker 1: we're talking a different time where the media was a

2037
01:46:38,120 --> 01:46:39,120
Speaker 1: much different animal too.

2038
01:46:39,560 --> 01:46:42,040
Speaker 3: Well, they could do it. Now they're still not doing it.

2039
01:46:42,600 --> 01:46:43,599
Speaker 1: Well, why would you do it now?

2040
01:46:43,760 --> 01:46:43,920
Speaker 14: You know?

2041
01:46:44,880 --> 01:46:46,840
Speaker 2: Regardless, what's Michael Jordan going to give you?

2042
01:46:46,920 --> 01:46:49,200
Speaker 1: Now? I hated that guy. I hated that guy. I

2043
01:46:49,240 --> 01:46:51,320
Speaker 1: mean look what he didn't is all of fame speech Ryan.

2044
01:46:52,040 --> 01:46:53,920
Speaker 1: He went and call on anybody that he hated.

2045
01:46:53,960 --> 01:46:56,040
Speaker 3: Then that's all you get. You get a day to

2046
01:46:56,160 --> 01:46:56,559
Speaker 3: day thing.

2047
01:46:56,800 --> 01:46:59,760
Speaker 2: You know, Hey, Kobe may have been on that not

2048
01:47:00,160 --> 01:47:02,560
Speaker 2: lebron path, but just allowing you to get to know

2049
01:47:02,680 --> 01:47:03,040
Speaker 2: him better.

2050
01:47:03,360 --> 01:47:06,120
Speaker 3: You know, I think Kobe was you know he was getting.

2051
01:47:05,880 --> 01:47:08,960
Speaker 1: There well, certainly during the playing career, you just knew

2052
01:47:09,040 --> 01:47:12,439
Speaker 1: he wanted to kill you between the White Lions. Yes, right,

2053
01:47:12,520 --> 01:47:14,600
Speaker 1: that was the summary statement. We didn't need to know

2054
01:47:14,640 --> 01:47:16,880
Speaker 1: a lot more about Kobe at that point.

2055
01:47:17,000 --> 01:47:19,880
Speaker 2: What happens is the mystery's gone and you got some

2056
01:47:20,000 --> 01:47:23,559
Speaker 2: people going, man, I really like Devonte Adams. He tells

2057
01:47:23,600 --> 01:47:25,960
Speaker 2: it how it is. And then you got some people

2058
01:47:26,040 --> 01:47:29,360
Speaker 2: that maybe aren't a fan of you know, him him

2059
01:47:29,360 --> 01:47:32,840
Speaker 2: speaking out. You know, you know who knows me personally.

2060
01:47:32,880 --> 01:47:35,120
Speaker 2: I don't mind it just when you're in a locker room.

2061
01:47:35,560 --> 01:47:37,679
Speaker 3: This is how a lot of these guys already talk.

2062
01:47:37,960 --> 01:47:39,640
Speaker 1: This is just this is a part of it, just

2063
01:47:39,760 --> 01:47:41,800
Speaker 1: letting you in, right, and look, part of that is

2064
01:47:41,880 --> 01:47:46,519
Speaker 1: brand building. If they don't know you, you can't market him. Yeah, right,

2065
01:47:46,680 --> 01:47:49,439
Speaker 1: as good as they are on the field, I need

2066
01:47:49,520 --> 01:47:51,920
Speaker 1: to know you personally a little bit. And that's you know,

2067
01:47:52,000 --> 01:47:54,880
Speaker 1: where we have the changing dynamics, certainly in the NBA

2068
01:47:55,040 --> 01:47:58,040
Speaker 1: side of things when you add all these international players

2069
01:47:58,120 --> 01:47:59,600
Speaker 1: up at the top, and that's not going to the

2070
01:47:59,680 --> 01:48:03,200
Speaker 1: face of the game conversations, whatever. It's just more a

2071
01:48:03,560 --> 01:48:05,240
Speaker 1: how do you get over and you're starting to see

2072
01:48:05,600 --> 01:48:08,639
Speaker 1: you know, Jannis and his brother on ads and whatever else.

2073
01:48:08,680 --> 01:48:12,679
Speaker 1: Here comes Sue Bird or whoever's walking in or Kelsey Plumb.

2074
01:48:12,840 --> 01:48:14,880
Speaker 1: I think it's Kelsey Plumb in that ad. But either way,

2075
01:48:15,360 --> 01:48:17,720
Speaker 1: just the idea of you know, trying to expand that

2076
01:48:17,880 --> 01:48:21,639
Speaker 1: reach access to where that visibility is there, and Lebron

2077
01:48:21,760 --> 01:48:24,560
Speaker 1: is there, and certainly DeVante Adams a guy raising his

2078
01:48:24,680 --> 01:48:27,280
Speaker 1: hand in that moment. I'd be remiss if I didn't

2079
01:48:27,320 --> 01:48:30,519
Speaker 1: go back to just since you are operating out of

2080
01:48:30,600 --> 01:48:33,960
Speaker 1: the planet Houston working with the Rockets Texans, making some

2081
01:48:34,080 --> 01:48:37,679
Speaker 1: noise talking about their skill positions. They shock some people

2082
01:48:37,760 --> 01:48:40,479
Speaker 1: a year ago, the aforementioned CJ Stroud. And then you

2083
01:48:40,560 --> 01:48:42,680
Speaker 1: send me a picture of you working out, you know,

2084
01:48:42,800 --> 01:48:44,880
Speaker 1: showing all these plates on the bars at all.

2085
01:48:45,920 --> 01:48:47,719
Speaker 2: No, I didn't show you a thing and me working

2086
01:48:47,760 --> 01:48:48,720
Speaker 2: out with plates on a bar.

2087
01:48:51,479 --> 01:48:53,880
Speaker 1: Well that's the other that's the other end. So that

2088
01:48:53,960 --> 01:48:54,839
Speaker 1: was the other Instagram.

2089
01:48:54,960 --> 01:48:56,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I did not show that. So you see that

2090
01:48:56,760 --> 01:48:59,560
Speaker 2: is false. See you're you're painting a false narrative of me.

2091
01:49:01,439 --> 01:49:05,600
Speaker 2: I sent you a photo of me speaking with the

2092
01:49:05,720 --> 01:49:06,840
Speaker 2: great CJ Stroud.

2093
01:49:06,880 --> 01:49:08,960
Speaker 1: Wow, this is where you've moved on to the ellipticals.

01:49:09,000 --> 01:49:09,439
Speaker 1: I'm sorry.

2106
01:49:36,680 --> 01:49:37,760

01:49:38,600 --> 01:49:41,479
Speaker 3: No, I listen, I'm no CJ just over the top.

2108

Speaker 1: brag of sending me a picture with CJ Stroud.

2110
01:49:47,880 --> 01:49:51,000
Speaker 3: No, no, that's not okay.

2111
01:49:51,280 --> 01:49:55,400
Speaker 2: Well, well we're just completely of course now, but no,

2112
01:49:55,880 --> 01:49:58,840
Speaker 2: it is on topic. Hey, let's talk some Texans. Wow,

2113
01:49:59,000 --> 01:50:03,240
Speaker 2: just saw my guy? Look because if I didn't send

2114
01:50:03,320 --> 01:50:05,040
Speaker 2: it and you saw it later, it would you would

2115
01:50:05,080 --> 01:50:07,240
Speaker 2: have I know you you'd have texted me and been like, dude,

2116
01:50:07,760 --> 01:50:08,640
Speaker 2: that'd have been nice to know.

2117
01:50:09,640 --> 01:50:10,840
Speaker 3: Before I had the conversation.

2118
01:50:12,880 --> 01:50:14,639
Speaker 1: So what'd you talk about with CJ Stroud?

2119
01:50:16,840 --> 01:50:19,680
Speaker 2: Great guy man, excited for the season. He knows how

2120
01:50:19,680 --> 01:50:21,439
Speaker 2: I feel about him. CJ's one of the one of

2121
01:50:21,479 --> 01:50:24,000
Speaker 2: the better. He's this SoCal kid and I'm pulling for him.

2122
01:50:24,040 --> 01:50:26,920
Speaker 2: And it's it's there's CJ and Mahomes right now.

2123
01:50:27,240 --> 01:50:29,400
Speaker 1: You know we can talk all the way up there

2124
01:50:29,479 --> 01:50:29,840
Speaker 1: right now.

2125
01:50:30,680 --> 01:50:34,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, right now, there's CJ. If you're taking a quarterback,

2126
01:50:34,080 --> 01:50:36,080
Speaker 2: there's c J. Stroud and Patrick Maull. But she will

2127
01:50:36,120 --> 01:50:38,760
Speaker 2: take And you ask anybody who knows football that that

2128
01:50:39,280 --> 01:50:40,120
Speaker 2: is the conversation.

2129
01:50:40,640 --> 01:50:44,920
Speaker 3: It ain't Aaron Rodgers. It ain't ain't nobody else.

2130
01:50:45,320 --> 01:50:47,719
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is forty years old coming off a big injury.

2131
01:50:47,800 --> 01:50:49,040
Speaker 1: So yeah, he's gone.

2132
01:50:50,320 --> 01:50:53,120
Speaker 2: To Tom Brady won Super Bowl, so we can't even

2133
01:50:53,160 --> 01:50:55,360
Speaker 2: talk about age. Apparently they still have to produce him

2134
01:50:55,360 --> 01:50:57,880
Speaker 2: to their age now because no thanks to Tom Well.

2135
01:50:57,920 --> 01:51:00,519
Speaker 1: But that's while he's also with the Jets, so that

2136
01:51:00,720 --> 01:51:05,800
Speaker 1: that's enough st He's right house. Oh boy, I had

2137
01:51:05,840 --> 01:51:07,880
Speaker 1: to do it. Sides. You wipe the Jets while I'm

2138
01:51:07,880 --> 01:51:09,719
Speaker 1: at it. Hey, let's go over to Isaac Low and Coron.

2139
01:51:09,760 --> 01:51:12,559
Speaker 1: He's got an update with some whispering people who might

2140
01:51:12,600 --> 01:51:15,240
Speaker 1: as well be doing nature videos and he got sweaky

2141
01:51:15,320 --> 01:51:17,400
Speaker 1: again with more feedback like he's gotta play a big

2142
01:51:17,439 --> 01:51:18,280
Speaker 1: heavy metal riff.

2143
01:51:18,640 --> 01:51:19,760
Speaker 6: Much needed feedback.

2144
01:51:20,080 --> 01:51:23,040
Speaker 7: We have the final round in full swing, the one

2145
01:51:23,160 --> 01:51:27,000
Speaker 7: hundred and fifty second British Open at Royal Troon, and

2146
01:51:27,120 --> 01:51:31,400
Speaker 7: moments ago this was South Africa's Tristan Lawrence attempting a

2147
01:51:31,479 --> 01:51:33,360
Speaker 7: putt for sole possession of the lead.

2148
01:51:33,520 --> 01:51:36,040
Speaker 12: That Tristin Lawrence over this put on the ninth from

2149
01:51:36,120 --> 01:51:39,240
Speaker 12: around about four feet away and it goes as the

2150
01:51:39,360 --> 01:51:42,880
Speaker 12: lead minus seven with nine holes to play.

2151
01:51:43,120 --> 01:51:45,439
Speaker 6: Tristan Lawrence goes to seven under.

2152
01:51:45,520 --> 01:51:51,120
Speaker 7: Pap splendid Putt old Chap the call on the Open radio,

2153
01:51:51,280 --> 01:51:54,840
Speaker 7: so Lawrence sole possession of the lead seven under par

2154
01:51:55,080 --> 01:51:58,200
Speaker 7: overall for the round. He is four under through nine,

2155
01:51:58,360 --> 01:52:01,400
Speaker 7: so four of the nine holes today he is birdied.

2156
01:52:01,720 --> 01:52:04,519
Speaker 7: He is one shot ahead of Justin Rose, who is

2157
01:52:04,560 --> 01:52:08,599
Speaker 7: at six under par overall today. Rose is three under

2158
01:52:08,800 --> 01:52:14,080
Speaker 7: through ten holes. American Xander Schoffley as well as American

2159
01:52:14,320 --> 01:52:18,160
Speaker 7: Billy Horschel are each two shots back at five under

2160
01:52:18,240 --> 01:52:22,240
Speaker 7: par overall. Scottie Scheffler, boy, he's gonna need to make

2161
01:52:22,280 --> 01:52:24,880
Speaker 7: a huge run down the back nine because he is

2162
01:52:24,920 --> 01:52:29,040
Speaker 7: at even par through eleven holes. So Scheffler with seven

2163
01:52:29,120 --> 01:52:31,760
Speaker 7: holes to go is a two under par overall. He

2164
01:52:31,960 --> 01:52:34,600
Speaker 7: is five shots off the lead, so he's gonna have

2165
01:52:34,720 --> 01:52:37,679
Speaker 7: to need to have a fantastic finish and also gets

2166
01:52:37,760 --> 01:52:40,400
Speaker 7: some help to be able to get back into contention

2167
01:52:40,600 --> 01:52:42,519
Speaker 7: of this one. So that's the story in the final

2168
01:52:42,640 --> 01:52:45,439
Speaker 7: round of the British Open, and one footnote in Major

2203
01:54:39,360 --> 01:54:41,920
Speaker 1: to Lebron in just a second. Arnie Spanners sent me

2204
01:54:42,000 --> 01:54:45,080
Speaker 1: the our colleague, he'll be on tonight with our guy

2205
01:54:45,560 --> 01:54:49,320
Speaker 1: Chris Plank, and he sent me this thing talking about

2206
01:54:49,480 --> 01:54:53,240
Speaker 1: a movie that's coming out, a comedy film that's going

2207
01:54:53,280 --> 01:54:55,960
Speaker 1: to be based on an offensive lineman turn mail model

2208
01:54:56,720 --> 01:54:59,600
Speaker 1: coming from Paramount Pictures. So he was trying to cast

2209
01:54:59,680 --> 01:55:03,280
Speaker 1: it from are our list of people here on the radio,

2210
01:55:03,520 --> 01:55:04,920
Speaker 1: And I think what he was trying to say is,

2211
01:55:05,320 --> 01:55:08,000
Speaker 1: I mean we do have a number of ex offensive lineman.

2212
01:55:08,040 --> 01:55:11,320
Speaker 1: You'll hear Rich Hornberger later on today from salam part

2213
01:55:11,360 --> 01:55:14,520
Speaker 1: of the lineup. Jeff Schwartz, Uh, so we do have

2214
01:55:14,640 --> 01:55:17,920
Speaker 1: some lineman. But he's also just kind of saying yeah literally.

2215
01:55:18,880 --> 01:55:20,960
Speaker 1: Also I guess giving him some a nod, saying that

2216
01:55:21,040 --> 01:55:24,280
Speaker 1: they can all play male models. I don't know that.

2217
01:55:27,560 --> 01:55:30,280
Speaker 1: It's like great praise from Arnie Spanners saying we're, you know,

2218
01:55:30,440 --> 01:55:33,480
Speaker 1: both powerful and attractive here at Fox Sports Radio.

2219
01:55:34,880 --> 01:55:39,840
Speaker 3: Maybe maybe Ephraim's got the best shot. I don't know, rich,

2220
01:55:40,000 --> 01:55:40,600
Speaker 3: but it wasn't me.

2221
01:55:43,280 --> 01:55:46,800
Speaker 1: He was alignment from Brady. Okay, LeVar was a linebacker,

2222
01:55:46,880 --> 01:55:52,520
Speaker 1: of course, but yeah, maybe Brady Quinn was a quarterback.

2223
01:55:54,440 --> 01:55:58,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Brady's as all quarterbacks are like like the earth,

2224
01:55:58,520 --> 01:55:59,760
Speaker 2: they're like above them.

2225
01:56:00,880 --> 01:56:03,480
Speaker 1: So there you go. So you go on down the line.

2226
01:56:04,080 --> 01:56:06,800
Speaker 1: I'm a five foot seven fire plug, so I'm ready.

2227
01:56:07,000 --> 01:56:10,960
Speaker 1: Let's go male model. I got about twenty pounds to go,

2228
01:56:11,080 --> 01:56:12,640
Speaker 1: and maybe I could fit that bill as well.

2229
01:56:13,120 --> 01:56:14,880
Speaker 3: We'd cast you. I appreciate you.

2230
01:56:14,960 --> 01:56:17,040
Speaker 1: If nothing else, I'm funny once in a while.

2231
01:56:18,040 --> 01:56:19,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you could do it.

2232
01:56:19,480 --> 01:56:21,760
Speaker 1: Comic relief, right, It worked for Kevin James and so

2233
01:56:21,880 --> 01:56:22,400
Speaker 1: many others.

2234
01:56:23,240 --> 01:56:23,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, you could do it.

2235
01:56:24,160 --> 01:56:27,200
Speaker 1: Just pair me up with folks that will weigh ninety

2236
01:56:27,240 --> 01:56:31,480
Speaker 1: pounds and well, I'll look normal anyway. He's right, holl

2237
01:56:31,480 --> 01:56:32,240
Speaker 1: it's out my garment.

2238
01:56:32,400 --> 01:56:32,560
Speaker 4: Hey.

2239
01:56:32,720 --> 01:56:37,720
Speaker 1: Yesterday South Sudan gave the United States men's national squad

2240
01:56:37,920 --> 01:56:40,880
Speaker 1: a scare a buzzer beat to Lebron James with the

2241
01:56:41,120 --> 01:56:43,600
Speaker 1: layup to get it done. But then he got into

2242
01:56:43,640 --> 01:56:45,320
Speaker 1: the tunnel and he gave us a great quote.

2243
01:56:46,080 --> 01:56:46,800
Speaker 2: Be honest, I like.

2244
01:56:46,840 --> 01:56:48,080
Speaker 1: Golden better than the blowouts.

2245
01:56:48,160 --> 01:56:50,680
Speaker 4: Let's me get tested. I'll like to get tested.

2246
01:56:50,680 --> 01:56:53,960
Speaker 1: There you go. That was a courtesy of the NBA

2247
01:56:54,200 --> 01:56:56,800
Speaker 1: Twitter account at NBA. I like getting tested. I like

2248
01:56:56,880 --> 01:57:00,560
Speaker 1: those better than the blowouts. No, you don't, No, you don't.

2249
01:57:00,560 --> 01:57:03,440
Speaker 1: Don't lie to me. Lebron James. You're a three and

2250
01:57:03,480 --> 01:57:04,680
Speaker 1: a half point favorite.

2251
01:57:05,440 --> 01:57:10,000
Speaker 2: He's not wrong because we talked about it earlier. When

2252
01:57:10,040 --> 01:57:14,080
Speaker 2: you have USA competition, I played over there, you don't

2253
01:57:14,240 --> 01:57:18,200
Speaker 2: know what to expect sometimes and you don't want to

2254
01:57:18,240 --> 01:57:21,120
Speaker 2: be getting into a metal round and then you get

2255
01:57:21,200 --> 01:57:26,920
Speaker 2: tested that Lebron's not he's not making it up, you know.

2256
01:57:27,000 --> 01:57:29,080
Speaker 2: And obviously he's feeling the juice because he.

2257
01:57:29,120 --> 01:57:31,400
Speaker 1: Played well well and he got the game winner, right,

2258
01:57:31,600 --> 01:57:31,840
Speaker 1: so you.

2259
01:57:33,600 --> 01:57:37,160
Speaker 3: Of course, but no, you do want to get those tests.

2260
01:57:37,720 --> 01:57:42,520
Speaker 2: You absolutely want those those tests early because again, it's

2261
01:57:43,200 --> 01:57:46,280
Speaker 2: it's so tricky because you can get real high and

2262
01:57:46,480 --> 01:57:50,920
Speaker 2: mighty playing the USA ball and you can, oh, man,

2263
01:57:50,960 --> 01:57:52,600
Speaker 2: we're good and who's gonna beat us?

2264
01:57:52,640 --> 01:57:53,280
Speaker 3: And we're you.

2265
01:57:53,440 --> 01:57:56,240
Speaker 2: I mean you can you're gonna feel unstoppable, and then

2266
01:57:56,240 --> 01:57:58,000
Speaker 2: you get that close game if you don't know how

2267
01:57:58,040 --> 01:58:01,560
Speaker 2: to execute, you don't know what the trust from your teammates. Yeah,

2268
01:58:02,240 --> 01:58:04,520
Speaker 2: it absolutely can become a thing. So he's not wrong.

2269
01:58:05,080 --> 01:58:06,840
Speaker 1: I would say this. I would have loved to talk

2270
01:58:06,920 --> 01:58:08,680
Speaker 1: to him at halftime, feel like we do those in

2271
01:58:08,760 --> 01:58:11,960
Speaker 1: a in game interviews. I feel right now, down fourteen,

2272
01:58:13,320 --> 01:58:17,800
Speaker 1: you know what shooting is has been atrocious, and say

2273
01:58:17,880 --> 01:58:22,240
Speaker 1: that backdoor pass, you know when Anthony Edwards didn't play defense,

2274
01:58:22,560 --> 01:58:24,520
Speaker 1: say that dunk had gone down because those two guys

2275
01:58:24,600 --> 01:58:28,560
Speaker 1: didn't crash into each other. What a like to see

2276
01:58:28,840 --> 01:58:29,920
Speaker 1: the response to the test.

2277
01:58:30,040 --> 01:58:34,360
Speaker 3: Then, look, hey, you're not wrong, you're not wrong.

2278
01:58:34,560 --> 01:58:38,400
Speaker 2: But again, you do want to be able to withstand

2279
01:58:38,440 --> 01:58:40,440
Speaker 2: those tests because then you get something to practice and

2280
01:58:40,480 --> 01:58:43,400
Speaker 2: work on, and you don't want to be practicing things

2281
01:58:43,520 --> 01:58:45,040
Speaker 2: when it's you know, when it's.

2282
01:58:45,000 --> 01:58:48,960
Speaker 3: Far too late. So no, no, no, no, he's not driving.

2283
01:58:49,040 --> 01:58:49,800
Speaker 3: He's not driving you.

2284
01:58:50,480 --> 01:58:52,680
Speaker 1: There you go. There's a word I haven't used in

2285
01:58:52,720 --> 01:58:55,800
Speaker 1: a while on radio. There you go. Boom boom, there

2286
01:58:55,840 --> 01:58:57,880
Speaker 1: we go. We will add that to the words we've

2287
01:58:58,000 --> 01:59:02,360
Speaker 1: used in twenty twenty four. But no, look, obviously you

2288
01:59:02,480 --> 01:59:04,800
Speaker 1: had a team that shot lights out. We talked about

2289
01:59:04,840 --> 01:59:06,800
Speaker 1: it to start the show. The podcast again will go

2290
01:59:06,880 --> 01:59:10,160
Speaker 1: up in a few minutes. Thanks Brianna and Chris Burffett

2291
01:59:10,200 --> 01:59:13,440
Speaker 1: making a sound so pretty today? Is the just the

2292
01:59:14,640 --> 01:59:16,800
Speaker 1: the pace that they had to play at. I don't think,

2293
01:59:17,120 --> 01:59:18,720
Speaker 1: you know, you gotta get punched in the face a

2294
01:59:18,760 --> 01:59:21,560
Speaker 1: little bit, right, and the guys are hitting long three

2295
01:59:21,640 --> 01:59:25,440
Speaker 1: point shots and getting into transition perhaps better. And for

2296
01:59:25,640 --> 01:59:28,480
Speaker 1: Davis and for the bigs they got tested at the rim,

2297
01:59:28,560 --> 01:59:31,160
Speaker 1: I think then maybe more than maybe they would have expected.

2298
01:59:31,720 --> 01:59:34,040
Speaker 1: H just like the end of that Australia game where

2299
01:59:34,080 --> 01:59:36,480
Speaker 1: suddenly it became a hey, we need to hang on.

2300
01:59:37,000 --> 01:59:39,920
Speaker 1: So to that point two straight tests. Tomorrow we'll see

2301
01:59:39,960 --> 01:59:42,600
Speaker 1: him against Germany and see how it rounds out. And

2302
01:59:42,760 --> 01:59:44,920
Speaker 1: even if they'd lost, and this is where the beauty

2303
01:59:44,960 --> 01:59:48,080
Speaker 1: of it is, it would have only mattered for headlines

2304
01:59:50,040 --> 01:59:51,800
Speaker 1: and not any real consequence.

2305
01:59:54,600 --> 01:59:58,240
Speaker 2: Yes and no, I don't know what the what the

2306
01:59:58,360 --> 02:00:01,280
Speaker 2: math looks like on you know, the teams that end

2307
02:00:01,400 --> 02:00:03,680
Speaker 2: up losing some of those exhibitions of the games that

2308
02:00:03,760 --> 02:00:07,280
Speaker 2: they should have won. But you know, you want to

2309
02:00:07,320 --> 02:00:09,960
Speaker 2: go dominate all the way through, so don't. I don't

2310
02:00:10,120 --> 02:00:12,800
Speaker 2: know if that necessarily just means nothing at all, you know.

2311
02:00:13,200 --> 02:00:15,920
Speaker 1: No sure, and the use of the term dominate, you know,

2312
02:00:16,000 --> 02:00:18,480
Speaker 1: I'm a big fan of the word in general. Something

2313
02:00:18,520 --> 02:00:21,720
Speaker 1: they generally did not do yesterday three point shooting and

2314
02:00:21,760 --> 02:00:24,920
Speaker 1: then Steph Curry heated up down the stretch and eventually

2315
02:00:25,040 --> 02:00:27,440
Speaker 1: they end up getting over. We talked a lot about

2316
02:00:27,440 --> 02:00:30,360
Speaker 1: the Women's All Star Game, nice and healthy. It's too

2317
02:00:30,400 --> 02:00:34,160
Speaker 1: bad they go on a month sabbatical before the WNBA

2318
02:00:34,360 --> 02:00:36,920
Speaker 1: kicks back off again. But you know, all in all,

2319
02:00:37,000 --> 02:00:40,600
Speaker 1: we had a very fun Saturday, ending with Jake Paul's

2320
02:00:40,640 --> 02:00:43,320
Speaker 1: fight saying Tyson, I'm ready for you. We've got the

2321
02:00:43,400 --> 02:00:46,080
Speaker 1: Open Championship finishing off here. It looks like we're gonna

2322
02:00:46,080 --> 02:00:50,160
Speaker 1: get a hotly contested final nine holes here of golf.

2323
02:00:50,280 --> 02:00:54,880
Speaker 1: So good stuff, Ryan Hollins, good stuff, Another fun and

2324
02:00:54,960 --> 02:00:58,000
Speaker 1: exciting three hours at the Ryan Hollins follow me at

2325
02:00:58,080 --> 02:01:00,200
Speaker 1: Swollen Dome, Dan and Carey coming up now next,
