69
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,360

70
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:04,400

00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 4: Two quick other things, I want to thank NBA TV

76
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 4: and the people at Turner for inviting you guys into

77
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 4: that family for the years that you guys were there.

78
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 4: Great foresight from them. But can you guys tell the

79
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 4: story of when I showed up in San Antonio? Do

80
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 4: you guys remember that?

81
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was the no season required tour. That was

82
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: obviously the league had shut down, and we were like, well,

83
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: what are we going to do? We were working at

84
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:36,799
Speaker 1: the Score at the time. We're like, I somehow convinced

85
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: our bosses to let us take this podcast on the road,

86
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: stop in like ten cities in North America. One of

87
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:47,599
Speaker 1: the stops with San Antonio, and we're trying by ourselves

88
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 1: to like book places, be it like little comedy clubs

89
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 1: or venues. But San Antonio ended up being in a

90
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 1: hotel room conference hotel conference. Yeah did, But we had

91
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 1: a great turnout and we got linked up with you

92
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: and you like surprised us though, or like we got

93
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: linked with the Spurs.

94
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 3: I guess it was.

95
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 1: And they said there'll be somebody's coming. Yeah, that's what

96
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: it was. Somebody's coming from the Spurs organization.

97
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 4: So I was a big fan of what you guys

98
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 4: were doing. I reached out to the organization. I said, hey,

99
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 4: can you get a hold of somebody that's involved with

100
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 4: these guys in the show that they're doing, And they said, yeah,

101
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,119
Speaker 4: no problem. So I think they reached out to you guys.

102
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 4: But I literally, if you guys remember, I went and

103
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 4: grabbed beers.

104
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:28,359
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, and.

105
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 4: Brought some beers to this hotel room downtown San Antonio

106
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 4: and went into the room and it was a great

107
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,719
Speaker 4: turnout you guys had. It was I don't know, sixty

108
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 4: or seventy people in this tiny little room, and I

109
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,039
Speaker 4: was like, dang, this is awesome and we just we

110
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 4: just shared a beer and hung out for a little bit,

111
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 4: and I don't know, years later, all of a sudden,

112
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 4: you guys are at BATV and you're doing the thing,

113
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 4: and it was just like, man, I'm so proud of

114
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 4: these guys and what they do. Like I mentioned before,

115
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,159
Speaker 4: So thank you guys, Thank you guys for that for

116
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 4: your friendship, and congrats on twenty years.

117
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,279
Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you, thank you. Let's get into some

118
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: NBA talk and some of things you've been up to

119
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 1: since we last saw you at NBA TV when you

120
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: were in the Bone Zone on the starters. We got

121
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 1: to start with some unfortunate news. We got to get

122
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 1: your opinion on what happened last night with the Golden

123
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: State Warriors and Jimmy Butler going down with that knee injury,

124
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: and then they obviously do the MRI and yep, so

125
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: we all feared torn acl He's out for the season.

126
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:27,479
Speaker 1: You said to you before we went live Bones that

127
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 1: you were watching it. The first question sort of becomes, like,

128
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: where do the Warriors go from here now that Jimmy's

129
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: out for the rest of the season.

130
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, I kind of felt like there was maybe a

131
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 4: clear path for the Warriors in the next couple of

132
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 4: weeks after being on this great wind streak and starting

133
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 4: to turn the corner both offensively and defensively, that a

134
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 4: kaminga trade and some other parts, and that they could

135
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 4: make this run with Jimmy playing close to an all

136
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 4: star level in terms of efficiency, Steph being awesome, the

137
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 4: rest and recovery for dre On you know, comingia trade

138
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 4: might have brought into pieces. And then with seven and

139
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 4: a half minutes to go. I think Mike Dunleavy's world

140
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 4: just started going in the opposite direction. What do the

141
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 4: Warriors do? Uh? This sounds like it's a year injury

142
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 4: for Jimmy Butler and I guess this morning. I mean,

143
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 4: you guys woke me up early and I'm just having coffee,

144
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 4: but my brain's starting to turn on. Would the Warriors

145
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 4: consider at this point Steph Curry being on the trade market?

146
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 2: Oh? WHOA?

147
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 4: Like, if you said a year a year, it's going

148
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 4: to take Jimmy a year. And if you if Kaminga's

149
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 4: not going to bring back parts obviously that are are

150
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 4: going to be anywhere close to a Jimmy Butler level player,

151
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 4: not just for now, but for the playoffs and for

152
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 4: the foreseeable year. For the good of the franchise. I mean,

153
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 4: is there anything there that that turns that or is

154
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 4: it just man too bad? This year? We're going to

155
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 4: have to figure something out in the summer, knowing that

156
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 4: you're just you're not on the incline, as Steve curR

157
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 4: has alluded to many times this year, for the good

158
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 4: of the franchise, would there be any consideration. I hate

159
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 4: to throw that out there, that's a yeah.

160
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 2: I mean what did that.

161
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: Take Steph Curry going to Mike dun Leeds jor and

162
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 1: going to the Warriors owners and being yeah.

163
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 4: One skeets like that would be Mike and Steve call it,

164
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 4: say hey, Steph, we got a decision to make. Here's

165
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 4: here's what what we could do, and here's what you

166
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 4: could consider, and we would honor anything that it is

167
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 4: that you want to do in this request. I'm not

168
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 4: saying this is going to happen, but I guess as

169
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 4: my brain is is starting to fire this morning for

170
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 4: the good of the San francisc or for the Bay area,

171
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 4: San Francisco, Oakland and Warrior fan base, and for the organization.

172
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 4: You know, what what does this morning look like for

173
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:55,679
Speaker 4: the Warriors? Not anything like they expected in terms of

174
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 4: what their future looks like? Yeah?

175
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 3: Yeah.

176
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,040
Speaker 1: And then one more one more cluestion with this, like

177
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 1: do you think there's any way they can almost walk

178
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 1: back the awkwardness with Jonathan Kamingau. I know Steve Kurr

179
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 1: was asked about it last night, like, you know, could

180
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 1: coming to slot into the Jimmy Butler roll now? And

181
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 1: he said sure, and he said absolutely, but we know

182
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 1: how Kaminga feels. Maybe you wanted being to trade it,

183
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: and obviously the Warriors were looking towards that path, like

184
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 1: can this be salvaged? You think bones like Betwen.

185
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 4: Don't think so. No, I don't. I don't think so.

186
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 4: For the rest of the year, if the decision is, look,

187
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 4: we're not going to do anything like I just suggested

188
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:31,839
Speaker 4: with with Steph. We're not going to do that to

189
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 4: our organization that you lean on Jonathan, knowing that at

190
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 4: the end of this season you're you're going to do

191
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 4: something with with Jonathan and and wait till draft time

192
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 4: to figure out a move for him. But you know

193
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 4: what disappoints me about a couple of things on the

194
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 4: Kaminga thing is one, there's a lot of people talking about,

195
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 4: or have spoken about, Steve Kerr doing things to Jonathan

196
00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:01,679
Speaker 4: Kaminga that are unfair, and to that end, I don't

197
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 4: love that. If you're talking about a guy who's in

198
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 4: Steve Kerr, who's been around this game long enough, he

199
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 4: would never jeopardize a player's career. I know you could

200
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 4: say he has to this point, but he'd never want

201
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 4: to damage a young player's career to the point where

202
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 4: he can't recover, so he's doing what's best for the

203
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 4: organization and sitting Jonathan Kamenka. The other thing that I

204
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:28,199
Speaker 4: think is his key here with Jonathan's situation is there

205
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 4: have been opportunities and in fact, I was broadcasting the

206
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 4: game when they played against Oklahoma City a couple weeks ago,

207
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 4: this was mid December, where they had some guys who

208
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 4: were going to be out for that game. Steph was

209
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:41,439
Speaker 4: not going to play, Draymond was not going to play,

210
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:45,319
Speaker 4: Jimmy was not going to play. Kamingo was not hurt

211
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,959
Speaker 4: prior to going to the game, and they asked Jonathan

212
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 4: about playing in the game and he came up with

213
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 4: that his back was hurting, that was officially on the

214
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 4: injury report, and he just didn't want to play. He

215
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 4: didn't want to play against Oklahoma City. And to me,

216
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 4: when you get to that point where a player is

217
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 4: deciding to not step on the court and compete, I

218
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,679
Speaker 4: don't care what the situation is. I don't care if

219
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 4: you're happy about your role or if you're he's pissed

220
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,199
Speaker 4: off about the GM, the head coach or whatever. Go

221
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 4: out and play the game that you're supposed to be

222
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 4: playing with that kind of fire and don't worry about

223
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,479
Speaker 4: the rest of it. But to decline the competition part,

224
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 4: I think is where this thing really got untied completely,

225
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 4: where Jonathan was not going to be playing for the

226
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 4: foreseeable future.

227
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think you hit on all the like the

228
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 5: three main takeaways from Jimmy going down, or like, what

229
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 5: does this mean for Jimmy for the end of his

230
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 5: career since he's getting older in age and coming to

231
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:43,559
Speaker 5: the tail end of things. Anyways, it's going to be

232
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 5: another year that he's out. Can Kaminga still be a

233
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 5: trade piece or do they dust him off.

234
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 3: And see what he can do?

235
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 5: And then like, yeah, is Curry going to want to

236
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,319
Speaker 5: stick around a Warriors team where they were all ready

237
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 5: like a dark horse contender. But bones was there ever

238
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 5: a time in your career where, like one of the

239
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,319
Speaker 5: leaders that your team went down in the middle of

240
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 5: the season and you kind of had to scramble and

241
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 5: figure out how we're going to approach this for the

242
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 5: rest of the season.

243
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 4: I don't think I ever played on a team in

244
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 4: the fourteen years that there was a significant injury like that.

245
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 4: I mean, maybe in Houston. There was a rally in

246
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 4: Houston in my last year, I wasn't playing all that much,

247
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:24,839
Speaker 4: but I got to watch Yao ming Louis Scola. I'm

248
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 4: bringing up some names for the younger guys to look up,

249
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 4: but Yao ming Louis Scola. At the time, Von Wafer

250
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 4: was playing great for the Houston Rockets Luther head Kyle Lowry,

251
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 4: Shane Battier, and this is a team that got into

252
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 4: the playoffs and was competing, and Tracy McGrady was not

253
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 4: available to that team. So there was this big rally

254
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 4: around it. That team was a little bit deeper in experienced.

255
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 4: But for Golden State, I mean, I don't want to

256
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 4: just be flipping about Steph wanting to leave Golden I

257
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 4: just don't think that's gonna happen. But the thing have

258
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,959
Speaker 4: to be going through the front office, uh, in terms

259
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 4: of what would Joe and Mike Dunlevy and Steve Kerr

260
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:10,439
Speaker 4: want to do in the wake of this, because all

261
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 4: the talk is you just don't want to waste Steph

262
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 4: Curry and his chances to compete again. And you know what,

263
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 4: Steph's such an adult, such a great leader, that he

264
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 4: might just say, now I'm I'm not leaving here because

265
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 4: of that situation. I'll continue to play, do the best

266
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 4: that we can and accept the results. But man, devastating.

267
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 4: Last night seven and a half minutes ago, saw it

268
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 4: was listening to Jimmy because they had the audio meeting

269
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 4: on the ground. You guys heard that with Buddy Heal

270
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 4: saying get up, man, and I'm going, oh my god,

271
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 4: the Warriors world just came crashing down.

272
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, in so many ways. And then Jimmy being Jimmy

273
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 2: like joking on the way to the locker room, and

274
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 2: Buddy said, yeah, he's joking, he's coming back. But obviously

275
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 2: we hear the news and yeah, torn far to see

276
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 2: kaminga take that place, that would be that.

277
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: Wou'd be a wild very well.

278
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 2: See it seems way out there.

279
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 4: Yeah it is, but I'm throwing it out here. It's like, hey, man,

280
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 4: we got to meet and talk about every possibility at

281
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 4: this point with with what's happened, because our season has

282
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 4: been completely derailed. We just there's no way to make

283
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 4: up for what Jimmy is and how he plays and

284
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 4: how much of an impact he makes on both ends

285
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 4: of the floor. We'll see what happens. But man, devastating.

286
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 1: Let's go back to twenty eighteen. Bones. You know, we

287
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 1: were working with you at NBA TV, but then you

288
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 1: return to the Spurs in a front office position and

289
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 1: you were there for seven years. I guess in the

290
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 1: end six six. It gives me six years in the end.

291
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 1: One of the things that happened, though, is you guys

292
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 1: got some luck with the ping pong balls and you've

293
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: got a chance to draft a Victor Wembin Yama. Do

294
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 1: you deserve all the credit for drafting Wemby there part

295
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 1: of the Spurs.

296
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 4: I hope I don't get anything for this. Stevie Wonder

297
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 4: would have drafted Victor. Also, you're skipping over skeets. A

298
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 4: lot of seasons in which the San Antonio Spurs under

299
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 4: coach Pop were competitive, but not a lot of pretty

300
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 4: games to watch. To be in a position to where

301
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 4: the draft ultimately was, you know, the whole earth access

302
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 4: tilted on that day when the ping punk balls ended

303
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 4: up with San Antonio having the number one pick. I

304
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 4: think it was four or five maybe that the Spurs

305
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 4: percentage wise should have gotten in that year, and all

306
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 4: of a sudden number one in the year that Scoot

307
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 4: Henderson and Victor Winbayama are clearly the class of the draft.

308
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 4: If you listen to all the scouts that year. I

309
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 4: remember going to Las Vegas and watching Victor and Scoot.

310
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 4: Do you guys remember when they had that battle and

311
00:15:56,440 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 4: both of them played incredible games in the exhibition when

312
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 4: Victor had come over and they're playing against what is

313
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 4: now defunct the G League Ignite. But yeah, I mean

314
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 4: the prize was there. The prize was supposed to be

315
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 4: in Detroit. Detroit had had that awful season and they

316
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 4: had positioned themselves to be there and all of a sudden,

317
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 4: I don't know. I've asked both coach Pop and RC

318
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 4: Buford to get MRIs to see if there is a

319
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 4: rabbit foot up their ass. The luck that they have

320
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 4: had and the you know, passing of the torch from

321
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 4: David Robinson to Tim Duncan and then to Victor. What

322
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 4: an incredible run of incredible centers and talent and people

323
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 4: and spots to lay the foundation to be your organization on.

324
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 4: He's an incredible young man, as you guys know, his

325
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 4: off season is now storied, and what he did and

326
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 4: how he handles himself and what he's doing, and the

327
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 4: confidence he has, the bravado he has the belief that

328
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:05,639
Speaker 4: he has incredibly those superseded talent that he has, and

329
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 4: he has been dominant. He is awesome. He's awesome.

330
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 5: We've seen a lot of like crazy Wemby things. We

331
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:14,640
Speaker 5: just saw him kick balls out of the net while

332
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 5: they're up there. He's got incredible flexibility that was showing

333
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:19,679
Speaker 5: off during his training with the Shalon Monks. Is there

334
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 5: anything that you saw from Wemby, like behind the scenes

335
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 5: with the Spurs that would wow people.

336
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 4: I don't think there's any physical thing specific I could

337
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 4: point to on that tray, But I will say this

338
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 4: for those that watch him closely, even in the games

339
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 4: that are broadcast, if you watch Victor's discipline to his regiment,

340
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 4: and this happens every day on the on the in

341
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,679
Speaker 4: the practice jim and and in the weight room. Along

342
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,119
Speaker 4: with what he does during the game. He has all

343
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,639
Speaker 4: of these mechanical things that he does for his body

344
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 4: in terms of warming up and stretching and get ready

345
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 4: to go into the games that he does without fail.

346
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 4: And I think about how many players I played with,

347
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 4: even myself, with regards to that kind of discipline that

348
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 4: I just don't I just don't see. I don't see

349
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 4: that from from many people, and it's a series of

350
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 4: stretches with bands. He's got his personal trainer that came

351
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 4: over with him from from France and they do all

352
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:23,680
Speaker 4: these things without fail every day to get himself ready

353
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,640
Speaker 4: to play at his optimum. I will share one thing

354
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 4: on the personal side that I know Vic does. At

355
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:33,440
Speaker 4: night between eight and nine o'clock, he finds a room

356
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:38,920
Speaker 4: and does not talk, to see or communicate with anybody

357
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 4: for one hour. He just will read or be on

358
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 4: his own to not be inundated with anything and to

359
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,880
Speaker 4: provide him some space. And he does that without fail.

360
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:53,680
Speaker 4: So his discipline too, and this is you guys know this.

361
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 4: You guys have been around so many great players during

362
00:18:56,560 --> 00:19:00,120
Speaker 4: your time doing what you're doing. Now you hear the

363
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 4: stories of greatness and that kind of greatness requires that

364
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 4: kind of discipline and way beyond like the next game

365
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,880
Speaker 4: or whatever. He has a vision for ten years from now,

366
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:15,159
Speaker 4: fifteen years from now about what he wants to accomplish

367
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 4: and the team goals that he has and constantly talks

368
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 4: about those things to speak them into their existence. Man,

369
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 4: I love watching him play. He looks like a baby deer.

370
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 4: At times. I'm worry you worry that something's gonna break.

371
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:35,679
Speaker 4: He gets up, he runs, he runs back down, he

372
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 4: gets involved in the play. But what he's doing to

373
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 4: warp the game on every night that he's on the court,

374
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 4: you'll see something completely unique from Victor Wembayama.

375
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is most definitely the thing that comes to

376
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 2: mind first when you start talking about Wenby. It's not

377
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 2: so much that he's a seven to fiver that can

378
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 2: give you a step back at any times. It's everything

379
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 2: off the court, right, everything that he puts them into, blood,

380
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 2: sweat and tears into it. Opening a book All Star

381
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 2: Game with Nicola Jokic saying, what are you doing? Man?

382
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:08,159
Speaker 2: You brought a bucket? You're bringing I like the story

383
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 2: of between eight and nine pm he's just locked in,

384
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 2: which it all makes sense.

385
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:15,159
Speaker 3: It's one o'clock.

386
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 5: You sent us a photo of his first practice in

387
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 5: San Antonio? Was it just smiling ear to ear for

388
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 5: every single person there?

389
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 3: What was that?

390
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 5: Like?

391
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 4: I mean, the anticipation of the draft was one thing,

392
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 4: but the anticipation beyond that of finally Victor being in

393
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 4: San Antonio and putting on his nikes for his very

394
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:40,880
Speaker 4: first practice. You guys can see in this photo. You've

395
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 4: got every member of basketball, of the basketball department, between

396
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,119
Speaker 4: the coaches and the trainers and the strength coaches, and

397
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 4: all the guys for the summer league. Because this is

398
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 4: before before summer league. You got a number of a

399
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 4: number of bodies there but behind me then then this

400
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 4: photo is about forty five members of the front office.

401
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:04,199
Speaker 4: And so I didn't know the Spurs had this many employees.

402
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 4: We had this first practice and he was awesome. I

403
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 4: will share with you guys. They played some five on

404
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:15,120
Speaker 4: five and they got down to the last game they

405
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:19,120
Speaker 4: were playing and Victor made the winning shot and everybody's

406
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 4: looking at each other like perfect for today. Well, it

407
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,239
Speaker 4: happened the next day and the next day and the

408
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 4: next day, and we were all remarking like this guy

409
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 4: is just built, built for these moments, and it was awesome.

410
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 4: It was just awesome.

411
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 3: That's great.

412
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 1: Let's talk a little bit about your time with the

413
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 1: Phoenix Suns. You were an assistant coach last year under Budenholzer.

414
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:43,199
Speaker 4: Let me get a couple of coffee.

415
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:48,160
Speaker 1: Oh boy, okay, interesting, interesting, the.

416
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 4: Therapy is not yet.

417
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 1: Well yeah, like I mean a couple of things. What happened?

418
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 1: What happened? With the Phoenix Suns, who were last year

419
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 1: with you being up close and personal with it, and

420
00:21:57,800 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 1: then you know, let's talk a little bit of like

421
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:01,880
Speaker 1: what your see him from the Suns this year and

422
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 1: obviously new pieces and stuff like that.

423
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:05,639
Speaker 4: Now I'm happy to talk to you guys about it.

424
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 4: So great opportunity. Mike Budenholzer called me last summer, I

425
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 4: guess it is now, it feels like a long time ago,

426
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 4: and asked me if I wanted to come, because I've

427
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:19,200
Speaker 4: had thoughts about getting into coaching and been waiting for opportunities.

428
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,440
Speaker 4: And as you guys know, in this league, you got

429
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 4: to go with good people. And so I thought about

430
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:27,679
Speaker 4: it and left the Spurs front office position to go

431
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 4: with Mike Budenolzer, who had a previous relationship with obviously

432
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 4: many years in San Antonio Bud and following his success

433
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 4: in Atlanta and Milwaukee and being an NBA championship coach,

434
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 4: and I thought, wow, this would be amazing Phoenix. You know,

435
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:44,639
Speaker 4: obviously great talent there with Kevin and Brad and book

436
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,879
Speaker 4: coming off interesting situation with Frank Bogol who was a

437
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 4: great coach that just didn't work out there and Matt

438
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 4: Istria thinking like, oh, we need a change, and we're

439
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 4: going to lean into somebody who's going to promote a

440
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,920
Speaker 4: little more team basketball, and that's what Mike tries to do.

441
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 4: The situation there overall, I would tell you, guys, being

442
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:08,239
Speaker 4: on the inside, was it was a team that just

443
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 4: didn't know how to get along. I would tell you

444
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:16,679
Speaker 4: they all like, they all were cordial towards one another.

445
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:20,160
Speaker 4: They all, you know, came to practice and were friendly.

446
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:24,120
Speaker 4: But it was one of those situations where you're you're

447
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:28,399
Speaker 4: just not invested. And obviously the job of a coach

448
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 4: or a coaching staff is to one get guys prepared

449
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 4: to compete at the highest level, but to to to

450
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 4: find a way for it all to work out. And

451
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:41,919
Speaker 4: unfortunately for the entirety of the staff, I mean, we

452
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 4: just didn't find a way to get the team last

453
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 4: year in Phoenix with Kevin, Brad and Devin to work together.

454
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 4: And I thought it was going to be a sling

455
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:56,359
Speaker 4: back from what happened with Frank Vogel and the disappointment

456
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,639
Speaker 4: from the year before, that there would be some some

457
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,160
Speaker 4: piss and vinegar and the team and that these guys

458
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 4: would want to show like, hey, We've got the highest

459
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 4: salary in the league. We've got to figure this thing

460
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:11,880
Speaker 4: out together. Let's let's use our superpowers to do that.

461
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 4: Let's use our superpowers for good. Unfortunately, they use them

462
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 4: the other way, and and and found ways and found

463
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 4: ways to like dismantle that roster, and sadly, they just

464
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:30,159
Speaker 4: didn't commit to one another. And this is not like

465
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:34,639
Speaker 4: a personal attack on those guys. When you have that

466
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:39,479
Speaker 4: kind of separation between your top end talent, I mean,

467
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 4: I don't know what the contracts were. I think Brad

468
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 4: was the fourth highest paid player in the league, Kevin

469
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 4: obviously and Devin there and then you have this big

470
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 4: gap between the rest of the group. If clearly those

471
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:56,360
Speaker 4: guys don't have a hierarchy and you're not as a

472
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 4: as a member of the team, as a player, you're

473
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 4: not aware of should the guys were leaning on the most.

474
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 4: It confuses the rest of the team. And I think

475
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,159
Speaker 4: we had a lot of guys who didn't exactly know

476
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 4: what the expectations were. And again this comes back to

477
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 4: really good coaching and leadership. You have to define those

478
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:15,879
Speaker 4: for a team, and at no point did we do

479
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 4: that for the Phoenix Suns last year. And you could

480
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:21,439
Speaker 4: tell as soon as the season was over with what

481
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:25,160
Speaker 4: did Phoenix do. It made a lot of changes, which

482
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 4: included the coaching staff getting fired. I get that, But

483
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,159
Speaker 4: what has happened to them to your points, Skeets, is

484
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:36,959
Speaker 4: they made changes for like the core of their culture,

485
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:41,880
Speaker 4: knowing that Devin Booker is a lifetime son, bringing in

486
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 4: Dylan Brooks, exercising themselves of Heaven and Brad and saying like, look,

487
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 4: we'll clearly define who it is that our organization is

488
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:57,879
Speaker 4: behind as the leader. Devin Booker is our guy, franchise

489
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 4: leading scorer, loves the valley, all the things. But what

490
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 4: was clear was that over two years, two and a

491
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,919
Speaker 4: half years, that the core of this team did not

492
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 4: get along. We have to we have to find a

493
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:13,399
Speaker 4: way to get guys in here who enjoy playing for

494
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:16,639
Speaker 4: one another and want to compete. So Dylan Brooks has

495
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:20,199
Speaker 4: changed that culture again. It's the third time he's been

496
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 4: at a place where he's done that. I'm so thrilled

497
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 4: for the guys. I got a chance to work with

498
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 4: Ryan Dunn and Colin Gillespie. Great great young players, hungry players,

499
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:35,440
Speaker 4: willing players that are getting an opportunity. Colin especially this year.

500
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:40,159
Speaker 4: He's been so awesome and Jordan not has done an

501
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 4: awesome job just making those guys believe in the system

502
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 4: that he's put in. And they've had the sling back

503
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,399
Speaker 4: year happened a year later. That's okay, that's okay. I'm

504
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,160
Speaker 4: happy for those guys and what they're doing and surprising

505
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:58,159
Speaker 4: the Western Conference. Sorry to be so preachy, but I

506
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:06,439
Speaker 4: enjoyed the experience. Like the NBA, it's it sucks. It

507
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 4: sucks when you lose. It sucks when the expectations. And

508
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 4: as a former player coaching guys like you, I could

509
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 4: read the room with those guys. I could see sort

510
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 4: of the approach to those guys daily on their practice

511
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 4: habits and what they were doing in games to to

512
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 4: to not be building, to be tearing down what it

513
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 4: is that's the opportunity in front of them. And as

514
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 4: a you know, guy that's been retired for fifteen years,

515
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,160
Speaker 4: to watch all that and have the knowledge of it

516
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:42,919
Speaker 4: was such a fascinating personally selfishly fascinating thing to watch it,

517
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 4: but to be around that game that way, to travel

518
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 4: with the team again, to be on the practice court,

519
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:51,120
Speaker 4: to try to help young guys, to watch how good

520
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:54,159
Speaker 4: the coaches in the league are, how elevated the talent

521
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 4: is in this league, and how fragile it is to

522
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:02,360
Speaker 4: operate a franchise. It was a great experience, so I'm

523
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 4: happy I did it, and I'm thrilled for Jordan not

524
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 4: and Brian Gregory and the recovery the Sons have had

525
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 4: this year. They've been really really fun to watch.

526
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 5: How can a team turn it around mid season? Like

527
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 5: you're saying, I'm looking at like the Knicks. They're struggling

528
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 5: right now. Right they've lost nine of their last eleven.

529
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 5: They're kind of in a similar spot with where the

530
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 5: Suns were, where there's a lot of expectations coming into

531
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:27,640
Speaker 5: the season. Definitely a top heavy team, comparing the starters

532
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:29,640
Speaker 5: to the bench, and they just don't seem like they're

533
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:31,919
Speaker 5: on the same page at all right now, getting booed

534
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:35,920
Speaker 5: off the court in multiple games, is it even possible

535
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 5: to like join back together, get on the same page

536
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 5: and rattle off some victories.

537
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 4: It's a great question. Trade This is why again I'll

538
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 4: point to how fragile it is with regards to winning

539
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 4: and how difficult it is to get a group of

540
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 4: guys to believe in the one thing as opposed to

541
00:28:55,000 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 4: their thing. And for the Knicks, the last thing that

542
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 4: you want is to give ammunition to any team to

543
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 4: join together to not like one thing collectively. And in

544
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 4: the next case, because of the change, like you guys

545
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 4: know what's coming right in the next couple of weeks

546
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 4: with Tom Thibodeau would have never allowed this to happen.

547
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 4: You know what's going to happen in the next seven Yeah,

548
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 4: to poke the bear about Hey, these guys feel like

549
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 4: early success, the fumes of last year. They've been together

550
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 4: a long time. They know each other too well that

551
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 4: now it's there. Now guys are playing with agenda and

552
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 4: Tom Thibodeau would have never allowed it's gonna happen. And

553
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:53,720
Speaker 4: like I mentioned before, don't let your team rally around

554
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 4: hating one thing, and do not let that one thing

555
00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 4: be the coach because as soon as that happens, the

556
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 4: efforts that you're giving, the genuine effort on the competitive

557
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 4: level that you're giving is false because you're not believing

558
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 4: in the leader who's trying to conduct the orchestra. And

559
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 4: you guys start playing your own solos and it doesn't work,

560
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 4: and the next thing is so fragile because of the

561
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 4: market that they're in and the attention that they get.

562
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 4: I mean, you guys know, like all of a sudden,

563
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 4: Karl Anthony Towlens is being rumored to be traded to

564
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 4: two or three different teams. This team was in the

565
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 4: Eastern Conference finals last year. Everybody's talking about bringing them

566
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 4: all back together. He's a huge piece for the team.

567
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 4: You guys are starting to talk about trading this guy.

568
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 4: So it's tough tray to bring it back together. But

569
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 4: they've got to rally around one another and the greater good.

570
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 4: I hope they do that.

571
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 1: Well, let's talk about you joining Amazon on Prime prior

572
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 1: to this season. How is that going? Why the decision

573
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 1: to go back into NBA broadcast. I know you're doing

574
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 1: some pre and post game work for the Clippers as well.

575
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 1: Talk about that Bone.

576
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 4: Well I got fired.

577
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 1: Well, yeah that's true.

578
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:14,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, needed a job.

579
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 4: Looking for work. I called. I called Lee Ellis. He

580
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 4: wouldn't take.

581
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 1: Looking for a cameraman.

582
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 4: Lee, He's like, I got this. I said, I can.

583
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 4: It could be the Bone Zone with the no drone zone. Right,

584
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 4: let's do this, Lee, And he actually didn't answer my call. Oh,

585
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 4: so it's actually super interesting story. I'll try not to

586
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 4: be long winded, but I tend to be.

587
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 5: Uh.

588
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 4: I got a call from Paul Benedict, who works for

589
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 4: the NBA offices. I thought, I was like, oh, you

590
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 4: guys know Paul. Paul said to me, He goes, Brent,

591
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 4: what are you gonna do? Uh, now that your coaching

592
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 4: career is over after one year? And I said thanks, Paul,

593
00:31:58,000 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 4: I said, what do you have in mind? He goes, well,

594
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 4: you know, Amazon is still looking for people for broadcasting,

595
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 4: and you know, we really enjoyed when you were with

596
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:07,479
Speaker 4: Turner and doing games. And I said, well, it's very

597
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 4: kind of you. I said, I would love it, Paul,

598
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 4: if there's an opportunity to do anything, please, So he

599
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 4: made a couple of phone calls. I know, Iron Eagle

600
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 4: Bird was already hired by Amazon, and it talked to

601
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 4: a couple of people on my behalf and I got

602
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 4: a call five days later, six days later from someone

603
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 4: at Amazon, and all of a sudden, they offered me

604
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 4: an opportunity to be part of their team. And I

605
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 4: was just over the moon about it. The fact that

606
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 4: I could stay around the game, go back to broadcasting,

607
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 4: which I love to do. The people that they had

608
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 4: brought in, Iron Eagle, Kevin Harlan, Michael Grady. Those those

609
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:53,720
Speaker 4: guys are the best of the best. By the way,

610
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 4: Michael Grady is an interesting guy. You know how we

611
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 4: talk about work life balance all the time. This guy

612
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 4: has a work work and he works for Minnesota, he

613
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 4: works for Peacock, he works for Amazon, and and like

614
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 4: he's doing a move right now, he's moving out of

615
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 4: one place into another city. I don't know how Michael

616
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 4: Grady's doing what he's doing, but anyway, amazing people. I

617
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,240
Speaker 4: don't know how you guys feel. I think the broadcast

618
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 4: and the optionality and the voices that the league is

619
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 4: hearing from are awesome. I think the investment, the time spent.

620
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 4: It is clear that Steve and Blake, Steve Nash, Steve Blake,

621
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 4: Dirk Eudonis, they are watching. Tracy scal doesn't watch. He

622
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 4: just watches the Celtics, but everybody, yeah, Vince, they're all watching.

623
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 4: But beyond that, they're like you guys, they're celebrating what

624
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 4: guys are doing. They're telling the stories about why this

625
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 4: season is starting to happen this way and what's been

626
00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 4: really positive, and they're breaking down that football plays and

627
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 4: showing some of the nuances and that kind of investment

628
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 4: this year I think has really helped the league in

629
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:13,840
Speaker 4: terms of the interest, and I really enjoyed being a

630
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 4: part of that. I'm just so thankful to Amazon for

631
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:16,879
Speaker 4: that opportunity.

632
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:18,440
Speaker 3: It's great to have you back on the air for.

633
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:20,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely fit right in.

634
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:23,799
Speaker 4: And we asked I think you made mentioned the other

635
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:26,239
Speaker 4: day about you guys are talking about MJ and the

636
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 4: NBC thing. Yeah, yeah, did we not see that that

637
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:32,319
Speaker 4: was going to be a thing?

638
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 1: Yes?

639
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:33,480
Speaker 2: Yes?

640
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,880
Speaker 4: What were we hopeful for? You guys? Were you guys know, honestly,

641
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 4: do you remember trade what were you hopeful for when

642
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:42,240
Speaker 4: you heard MJ was gonna be on NBC.

643
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 5: I would like to hear him speak on things that

644
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 5: are like currently happening. I think it's not surprising the

645
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 5: way it went down. They did the big interview and

646
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:52,280
Speaker 5: they're chopping it up into pieces. It kind of seemed

647
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:54,880
Speaker 5: clear from the first Insights to Excellence that that's what

648
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 5: it was going to be. But I would love to

649
00:34:56,640 --> 00:35:00,319
Speaker 5: hear him talking about Lebron playing at age forty one.

650
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 5: You know, like mj' is one of the few guys

651
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:05,839
Speaker 5: who has experienced playing into his forties as well and

652
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 5: having to figure out how to be one of the

653
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:09,439
Speaker 5: greatest players of all time at the end of your career.

654
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 5: I'd love to hear what he thinks about, you know,

655
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:16,320
Speaker 5: Trey Young and John Morant wanting to leave the teams

656
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:19,200
Speaker 5: that they're on. I just would like to hear him

657
00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:21,400
Speaker 5: speak on things that are happening during the season.

658
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:22,799
Speaker 3: During the season, yeah, just.

659
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:25,839
Speaker 2: The current game, the transition to the current game. That's

660
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 2: all we want from MJ. And part of the mosique

661
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:30,000
Speaker 2: is he doesn't talk about that. But then you get

662
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 2: the note here, it's the press release. Here he comes.

663
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,040
Speaker 2: He's the contributor. So you expect him to be part

664
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 2: of this transition. Right, We're going into a different era

665
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:43,760
Speaker 2: of TV, so you expect them to be, you know something.

666
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 2: But as you said, Brent, we knew it was Kevin,

667
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:48,399
Speaker 2: were a lot of MJ.

668
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:51,799
Speaker 4: I'm with you. I thought it would have been fascinating

669
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:55,279
Speaker 4: for just Michael to sit down with today's best players,

670
00:35:55,840 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 4: to have conversations about their evolution and his players they

671
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:03,080
Speaker 4: like about the league, that kind of thing. But I

672
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 4: will say this, like they always talk about, the pedestal

673
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 4: is a dangerous place, both for the one looking up

674
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:11,960
Speaker 4: and the one on it. And I think that the

675
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:15,719
Speaker 4: myth of you guys talked about this, but the myth

676
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:19,560
Speaker 4: of Michael Jordan and for the longevity of Michael Jordan

677
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 4: and the kind of William Wallace stuff that you get

678
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:26,080
Speaker 4: about Michael Jordans for as many years. The last thing

679
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:28,600
Speaker 4: you want to do is humanize yourself.

680
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:29,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, the right point.

681
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:32,560
Speaker 4: The last thing that you want to do is to

682
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:36,799
Speaker 4: talk about things because the penalty for growing up is

683
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:40,920
Speaker 4: that we learned that these people are just people.

684
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:41,360
Speaker 3: Yep.

685
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 4: And I think as great as the idea was for

686
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 4: NBC and bringing back the thing to have Michael involved,

687
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 4: the choice that he made, I will say was the

688
00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 4: right choice to not do that.

689
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:02,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, we want Michael Jordan to be Paul Bunyan, right, yes,

690
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:04,759
Speaker 1: but if we sit down with Paul Bunyan and we're like,

691
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 1: you're shorter than Trey, it's not that yeah exactly.

692
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:12,719
Speaker 4: So Yeah, And in this in this business, you guys know,

693
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:15,440
Speaker 4: the longer that you're doing it and the more that

694
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 4: you speak, you have to fill time, you know what

695
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:23,359
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm serious. You have to be on air

696
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:25,959
Speaker 4: and like the segments four minutes. Okay, so we're gonna talk,

697
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,919
Speaker 4: but I may exhaust the one thought that I think

698
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,799
Speaker 4: is most helpful for people to learn or to have

699
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 4: insight about me, or to to tell a story. And

700
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:39,320
Speaker 4: then after that there's more. And when that part starts

701
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:41,799
Speaker 4: to happen is when the human part of people come out.

702
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:45,440
Speaker 4: And I think, uh, that was that was gonna be problematic.

703
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:49,319
Speaker 4: And I think Michaels, to his credit, saw that, like, Hey,

704
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 4: I'll give you guys a couple of hours, but I'm not,

705
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:53,799
Speaker 4: you know, studio and that that kind of stuff I'm

706
00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 4: doing that no one expected. Can I tell it quick?

707
00:37:57,680 --> 00:37:58,239
Speaker 4: MJ story?

708
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:01,840
Speaker 2: Hell no stories there of course.

709
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:05,719
Speaker 4: Well mine's minds where So I I this is I

710
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:08,880
Speaker 4: don't want to sound like bougie, but people go to Italy.

711
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:13,319
Speaker 4: So I went to Yeah, I took my wife over

712
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:16,239
Speaker 4: to Italy and we were staying at this kind of

713
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 4: kind of smallish hotel, like nothing too grandiose.

714
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:21,920
Speaker 3: Right, right, just three seasons or what.

715
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 4: The it was. It was a nice hotel and and

716
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 4: so down in down in the pool area, and there

717
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:34,359
Speaker 4: was a couple of kids that were there that were

718
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 4: swimming around in there, thirteen fourteen years old, and I

719
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 4: was sitting with my wife and she sitting with someone else,

720
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:45,000
Speaker 4: and the kid swims over and goes, mom, I can't

721
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 4: do an Australian accent. I need lead mom, Michael Jordan's

722
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:52,439
Speaker 4: at the hotel. And I kind of overheard my wife

723
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:54,719
Speaker 4: was speaking with the mother and I said, and the

724
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:57,200
Speaker 4: kid goes Michael Jordan and the mom goes, what are

725
00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 4: you talking about? And he goes no, no, no, look

726
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 4: and pointed out to the balcony area, which was sixty

727
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:10,359
Speaker 4: yards away. Up there is a three security guards and

728
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:14,440
Speaker 4: a couple of people silhouetted that you could potentially see

729
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:17,239
Speaker 4: that might be Michael Jordan's. Hen't quite make it out

730
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 4: because it's far enough away. So we're sitting by the pool.

731
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:24,439
Speaker 4: The kind of commotion of the kids ends. My wife

732
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 4: asked me. She goes, are you like, do you do

733
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:30,239
Speaker 4: you think we can? If he's here? Could we meet him?

734
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:32,600
Speaker 4: And I was like, yeah, I'm sure we will. This

735
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:34,759
Speaker 4: is a pretty small hotel. She goes, but do you

736
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:37,960
Speaker 4: know him? And I went yeah, I know him, And

737
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:42,560
Speaker 4: she goes, no, but do you know nothing? And I said, yes,

738
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:47,759
Speaker 4: I know know him. So daper goes on. We get

739
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:49,960
Speaker 4: up the next day in the morning, we had to

740
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 4: get a cup of coffee and we go down have

741
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:54,840
Speaker 4: a like brunch time. And we go down and Michael

742
00:39:55,040 --> 00:40:00,279
Speaker 4: is on this patio with his security and lo and

743
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:05,640
Speaker 4: behold a madrashod. Let's go why would he be there?

744
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:07,839
Speaker 4: So we walked down the steps and Michael is there

745
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 4: with his wife and a party and they're kind of

746
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:13,760
Speaker 4: hanging out. So we sit down at this other little

747
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 4: table underneath this umbrella, grab a cup of coffee, and

748
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:18,440
Speaker 4: my wife goes, why don't you go over there and

749
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 4: say hello. I said, hold on a second. So we

750
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:26,359
Speaker 4: sit and I go over to the security guard. They're

751
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:30,919
Speaker 4: all positioned in this triangle formation, kind of making sure

752
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 4: that Michael's not bothered at the hotel. Again, it's not

753
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:35,759
Speaker 4: very big, but I talked to the security guy and

754
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:38,520
Speaker 4: I say, hey, I don't want to bother your detail,

755
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:43,239
Speaker 4: but I know Michael. I played against him for a

756
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:45,480
Speaker 4: lot of years. If you get a chance, will you

757
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:49,440
Speaker 4: just let him know that I'm here, and I'd love

758
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:52,480
Speaker 4: to say hello. My name is Brent Barry. Bah blah blah.

759
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:55,600
Speaker 4: I go back and sit at the table. My wife goes,

760
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 4: what the hell are you doing? And I said, just

761
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 4: hold on. Michael's wife gets up from the table and

762
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 4: she comes over to the security guard and he I

763
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:09,839
Speaker 4: can see he's explaining to her what just happened. Right

764
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:13,600
Speaker 4: She goes back to the table and I'm sitting here.

765
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:16,200
Speaker 4: My wife is sitting there and Michael's off in the

766
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:18,880
Speaker 4: distance over that all point over this way, so over

767
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:21,480
Speaker 4: her shoulder. She my wife's got her back to Michael.

768
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:25,439
Speaker 4: So she's saying to me, what is happening right now?

769
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:28,800
Speaker 4: And I said, just hold on a second. The wife

770
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:32,879
Speaker 4: is Michael's wife is telling Michael pointing my way. That's

771
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:37,799
Speaker 4: Brent Barry and Amad is next to Michael. And my

772
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:41,360
Speaker 4: wife's going what is happening? And I said, well, Michael's waving.

773
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:45,319
Speaker 4: She goes git out. I said, yeah, he's waving. Oh

774
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 4: he's getting up. He's coming over. And she said what

775
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:52,440
Speaker 4: he's coming over? I said, yeah, he's just just so

776
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:55,480
Speaker 4: Michael gets up from the table. Both him and a

777
00:41:55,560 --> 00:42:00,279
Speaker 4: mod come over. I stand up and gives a big

778
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:02,600
Speaker 4: and we visit for a little while. He was there

779
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:05,840
Speaker 4: for a wedding, a mod that came with him. Whatever.

780
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:09,680
Speaker 4: It was a great visit for about ten minutes and

781
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:14,960
Speaker 4: just talking about stuff and visiting, and both of us

782
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:17,520
Speaker 4: had both my wife and I had our phones. Obviously

783
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:21,760
Speaker 4: we're sitting there blah blah blah. I kind of grab

784
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:24,480
Speaker 4: a mod and have a talk with him so that

785
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 4: my wife can have a few minutes with Michael Jordan. Sure,

786
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:33,319
Speaker 4: pretty cool. Yeah, So we say our goodbyes. We don't

787
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:36,880
Speaker 4: take a picture. There's nothing, which I think is the

788
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:38,960
Speaker 4: best part of this because it's a it's a memory,

789
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 4: which is how it should be. Don't bother Michael's time.

790
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 4: He goes on and the rest of the day, we

791
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:50,239
Speaker 4: my wife and I did a little boat tour and

792
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:53,520
Speaker 4: we had a nice meal that night. And to her credit,

793
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:56,759
Speaker 4: she goes, you know what, when meeting Michael Jordan is

794
00:42:56,800 --> 00:43:00,120
Speaker 4: the third best thing that happens to you on a day,

795
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 4: that's a pretty good day. Wow. I know, a long story.

796
00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:07,960
Speaker 4: People like turning this thing off. One of the coolest

797
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:10,640
Speaker 4: things for Michael to get up from his table, I mean,

798
00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:13,320
Speaker 4: Michael George get up from his table where I don't

799
00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:16,480
Speaker 4: go over, to get up to come over to visit,

800
00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 4: to ask about my mom, my family, my brothers, to

801
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:25,759
Speaker 4: spend some time. I mean, just a great memory for

802
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:29,200
Speaker 4: me and I have many with with with with Michael,

803
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:33,000
Speaker 4: as you guys know, but that one, uh, that one

804
00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:33,879
Speaker 4: stands out.

805
00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:37,160
Speaker 1: So that's pretty incredible to share that one. One of

806
00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:38,960
Speaker 1: the questions I was going to ask you Bones. I

807
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:41,640
Speaker 1: know we got to get get going here, but if

808
00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:44,120
Speaker 1: you played in today's era, all these guys have a

809
00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 1: podcasts now, would Brent Barry have his own podcasts? Would

810
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:48,320
Speaker 1: you have the Bones on?

811
00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:51,919
Speaker 4: I think I think I would probably dip my toe

812
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:55,120
Speaker 4: into it. I don't, I don't. I'll tell you one

813
00:43:55,160 --> 00:44:00,520
Speaker 4: I'm not liking is the Rich Paul one, But I

814
00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 4: think that's it's crazy, what what is out there? If

815
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:07,960
Speaker 4: you search? I think I would have done it and

816
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:11,480
Speaker 4: just had some fun with it and it just shared

817
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:14,319
Speaker 4: a little bit of what's going on and have some

818
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:16,759
Speaker 4: perspective on things. So I probably would have done it.

819
00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:21,880
Speaker 1: Would you also have worn the undershirt under the jersey

820
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:24,239
Speaker 1: if you played today? Yeah, because I would have because

821
00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:27,040
Speaker 1: you wore in college games. I definitely saw photos at

822
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:29,120
Speaker 1: times you had the big black one underneath the Oregon

823
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:30,920
Speaker 1: state and sometimes a white ones. So you would have

824
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:33,120
Speaker 1: been one of these guys. Okay, I would have because

825
00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:34,000
Speaker 1: why is it colden there?

826
00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:34,359
Speaker 3: Or what.

827
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:37,720
Speaker 4: I think. I just got used to doing it in college.

828
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:38,920
Speaker 4: So if you told me I could do it in

829
00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:40,960
Speaker 4: a pros, but the rule was back then you couldn't

830
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:41,160
Speaker 4: do it.

831
00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:41,520
Speaker 3: That's right.

832
00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:46,600
Speaker 4: Literally, Like when you say that, Skeets, I immediately go

833
00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:50,160
Speaker 4: back to Patrick Ewing in the Grey George. Yes, right,

834
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:53,560
Speaker 4: Like that's my first vision of somebody wearing a T

835
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:57,480
Speaker 4: shirt underneath, Like I never envisioned Patrick Ewing not wearing

836
00:44:57,480 --> 00:45:00,799
Speaker 4: a shirt underneath. And then all those Nick years of

837
00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:04,120
Speaker 4: course Beast was out there, which is with just his

838
00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:08,440
Speaker 4: Nick jersey on. So you guys all in agreement with

839
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:10,320
Speaker 4: the All Stars the starters.

840
00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:12,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're gonna talk about it a little bit later

841
00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:14,239
Speaker 1: in the show for the like, I can't get too

842
00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:17,359
Speaker 1: worked up about it because the guys that are the

843
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:20,760
Speaker 1: snubs of the All Star starters, let's say Donovan Mitchell,

844
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:24,000
Speaker 1: let's say Anthony Edwards, Like they're going to be starting

845
00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:28,440
Speaker 1: for one of the American teams, so they sort of

846
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:30,560
Speaker 1: are starters. But do you have an opinion on the

847
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:32,240
Speaker 1: USA versus the World format?

848
00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:32,359
Speaker 5: Here?

849
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:35,359
Speaker 1: Are you excited for this or man doesn't change much

850
00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:35,960
Speaker 1: if they don't try.

851
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:39,280
Speaker 4: I don't get like upset that the league keeps trying

852
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:42,279
Speaker 4: these things. I just I just remember the spectacle of

853
00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:45,560
Speaker 4: the game. I remember just being super fortunate as a

854
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:48,239
Speaker 4: kid to go to the All Star Game that was

855
00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:56,960
Speaker 4: in Seattle in eighty nine. Eighty eight, Yeah right.

856
00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:57,680
Speaker 1: His favorite game, Yeah.

857
00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:00,320
Speaker 4: Eighty seven. So I was on the court when Michael

858
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:02,719
Speaker 4: Jordan was doing like they kissed the rim. I was

859
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:06,319
Speaker 4: on the court. Maybe that was the inspiration for years later,

860
00:46:06,360 --> 00:46:08,960
Speaker 4: but I was there. Holy shit, I have the picture

861
00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:11,600
Speaker 4: of Michael with me and my brother Drew. I think

862
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:14,480
Speaker 4: I've shown you guys in the locker room before the

863
00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:20,359
Speaker 4: dunk contest together, So yeah, I know the league keeps

864
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:22,479
Speaker 4: messing around. I just love the spectacle of every guy

865
00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:26,000
Speaker 4: coming out in their actual jersey or in their actual

866
00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:29,920
Speaker 4: warm ups, not uniform warm up, every uniform represented, you know,

867
00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:32,840
Speaker 4: the Laker purple and the Boston green, and the Bulls

868
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:35,960
Speaker 4: red and the Spurs black like that. That's that's the

869
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:40,040
Speaker 4: part that I miss, But that's nostalgia. Hopefully it goes well.

870
00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:42,319
Speaker 4: I don't know how it's going to play out, but

871
00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:45,839
Speaker 4: I'm looking forward to All Star Weekend as always and

872
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:47,720
Speaker 4: see where it goes.

873
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:51,440
Speaker 1: You always seem to understand, like all Star Weekend is

874
00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:53,400
Speaker 1: the celebration of the game, and we can put on

875
00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:56,880
Speaker 1: a show for fans and kids. Like I just rewatched

876
00:46:56,880 --> 00:47:02,360
Speaker 1: your highlights from the rookie game in ninety You were hubid.

877
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:05,120
Speaker 1: You were like you were dropping dimes left and right

878
00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:08,120
Speaker 1: in that game, a couple of fantastic passes, some dunks,

879
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:10,560
Speaker 1: and obviously you didn't the dunk contest as well. You

880
00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:13,279
Speaker 1: later did the three point contest, and like you seem

881
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:15,560
Speaker 1: to get this can be fun. We don't need to

882
00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:18,040
Speaker 1: take it so seriously, but you can still compete.

883
00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:18,719
Speaker 3: I guess the point.

884
00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:22,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that's the whole point is it's an exhibition.

885
00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:25,960
Speaker 4: There is nothing on the line like major League Baseball.

886
00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:28,400
Speaker 4: It's supposed to be fun and you're supposed to have

887
00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:33,440
Speaker 4: fun with it. When you first said skeets in today's like,

888
00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:35,920
Speaker 4: think about today's game, and you and today's game actually

889
00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:38,719
Speaker 4: got excited. I was like, oh man, I would have

890
00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:44,240
Speaker 4: loved just to give me one month of playing above

891
00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:48,440
Speaker 4: playing where you shoot. You know, your your first available

892
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:50,520
Speaker 4: shot is a three. Shoot it. You get to run

893
00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:53,560
Speaker 4: in transition, pass, cut, move the ball, you can rebound

894
00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:55,359
Speaker 4: and bring the ball up yourself. I mean it gets

895
00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:57,600
Speaker 4: to me so excited, And I think that's why I

896
00:47:57,640 --> 00:48:01,319
Speaker 4: really love I love today's today's game in that way,

897
00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:06,160
Speaker 4: because it's deep down in my court really speaks to me. Yeah,

898
00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:08,759
Speaker 4: I mean I could just like my first year playing

899
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:12,520
Speaker 4: for the Los Angeles Clippers under legendary coach Bill Fitch,

900
00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:15,319
Speaker 4: our team averaged eleven three point shots a game.

901
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:16,600
Speaker 1: That's it.

902
00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:20,120
Speaker 4: And I just scratched my head about like eleven a game.

903
00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:24,000
Speaker 4: Like there's seven guys every year to take ten or more. Yeah,

904
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:26,880
Speaker 4: in this league. To think that your coach at that

905
00:48:26,960 --> 00:48:30,640
Speaker 4: time was telling you, Hey, hit the ball into Stoiko Rekovic,

906
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:37,240
Speaker 4: get the ball into Stanley Roberts. Yeah, like, let's get loyv.

907
00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:42,319
Speaker 4: Let's get Loy that fifteen foot let's have let's have

908
00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:45,040
Speaker 4: Pou Richardson come off that side screen roll and take

909
00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:49,759
Speaker 4: the elbow jumper. That's a good shot for us.

910
00:48:49,840 --> 00:48:52,480
Speaker 1: Very different. Are you still? Are you a weekend Warriors?

911
00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:52,719
Speaker 4: Still?

912
00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:53,960
Speaker 1: Are you still hooping at all?

913
00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:57,439
Speaker 4: Or you just shoot? Yeah, I'll go shoot. I keep

914
00:48:57,520 --> 00:49:00,440
Speaker 4: playing is a little bit taxing on me. Clean my

915
00:49:00,520 --> 00:49:05,000
Speaker 4: back has had some issues with deteriorating discs along with

916
00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:09,080
Speaker 4: my mental capacities. But I the other day I bought

917
00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:14,200
Speaker 4: a basketball at Target, and uh, I was driving and

918
00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:17,560
Speaker 4: I was driving home, and there's a nice outdoor court

919
00:49:17,560 --> 00:49:20,640
Speaker 4: that they just redid that's near my house, maybe maybe

920
00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:24,000
Speaker 4: half a mile, and uh, for some reason, the whole

921
00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:27,359
Speaker 4: left side parking lot was empty. And for some reason,

922
00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:30,120
Speaker 4: I pulled over and I took this ball out of

923
00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:33,280
Speaker 4: that terrible cardboard that they put around basketballs, like you're

924
00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:35,640
Speaker 4: wrestling with it. You know, you like, it's supposed to

925
00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:38,600
Speaker 4: be easy, but it never The habs never worked, and

926
00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:40,640
Speaker 4: you got you have the balls exposed. So it was

927
00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:42,480
Speaker 4: frustrate to you because you're like, did you come out?

928
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:44,160
Speaker 3: And Uh.

929
00:49:44,239 --> 00:49:46,520
Speaker 4: I grabbed the ball and I went to that court

930
00:49:46,600 --> 00:49:48,600
Speaker 4: and I shot for like twenty minutes.

931
00:49:48,719 --> 00:49:48,839
Speaker 5: Yea.

932
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:51,799
Speaker 4: The basketball wasn't for me. It was for a kid

933
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:55,080
Speaker 4: that I bought it for. And I I shot for

934
00:49:55,160 --> 00:49:58,640
Speaker 4: twenty minutes. The sun was out. It was a terrible rim,

935
00:49:59,080 --> 00:50:02,480
Speaker 4: one of those double rims. If you shoot a six footer,

936
00:50:02,719 --> 00:50:06,879
Speaker 4: it bounces over the fence. And I don't know, I shot.

937
00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:08,880
Speaker 4: I shot a couple of free throws. It was weird.

938
00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:10,919
Speaker 4: I just I went back to the free throw line

939
00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:13,399
Speaker 4: and I did what I always do, the finish where

940
00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:15,319
Speaker 4: the shooting workout would be, and got to the free

941
00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:19,040
Speaker 4: throw line and took the free throws that I would take,

942
00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:23,000
Speaker 4: like programmed. It was weird, I bet. And I walked

943
00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:26,080
Speaker 4: off that court kind of smiling and enjoying it. And

944
00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:29,279
Speaker 4: I went back home and the kid came over and

945
00:50:29,719 --> 00:50:31,480
Speaker 4: I gave him the ball and he goes, I thought,

946
00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:33,360
Speaker 4: you said this was new. I said, it's broken in.

947
00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:37,040
Speaker 4: It's broken in, Like, don't worry about it, it's new.

948
00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:38,920
Speaker 2: Did you think about putting it back in the box

949
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:40,040
Speaker 2: or is that crazy time?

950
00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:44,360
Speaker 4: No, the box was so shredded, destroyed, like yeah, pieces

951
00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:45,680
Speaker 4: of it all over the back.

952
00:50:45,760 --> 00:50:48,760
Speaker 1: That kid got a ball from a two time NBA champ. Bones.

993
00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:40,560
Speaker 2: Almost like an Olympic annual games. We get together just

994
00:52:40,600 --> 00:52:43,120
Speaker 2: to throw the arms around each other and see each other.

995
00:52:44,080 --> 00:52:46,960
Speaker 1: How did your team do this year? I know you

996
00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:49,360
Speaker 1: you've been on some you know, struggling teams over the

997
00:52:49,400 --> 00:52:51,799
Speaker 1: last couple of seas rebuilding. But you guys were like

998
00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:53,759
Speaker 1: redrafted this year, as you always are.

999
00:52:53,800 --> 00:52:58,320
Speaker 2: But well, it was yes, a fun, fun format. Every

1000
00:52:58,400 --> 00:53:01,520
Speaker 2: captain was a and who had never won a title.

1001
00:53:02,200 --> 00:53:02,719
Speaker 3: I like that.

1002
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:05,200
Speaker 2: It was a good idea. And we each had a

1003
00:53:05,239 --> 00:53:09,440
Speaker 2: country assigned to us. It was Team Grease you know,

1004
00:53:09,640 --> 00:53:13,839
Speaker 2: you know, great uniforms, had a toga, had a pre

1005
00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:18,399
Speaker 2: made jersey as well. Wow, pretty cool. We came came

1006
00:53:18,440 --> 00:53:22,000
Speaker 2: down to the wire with Team Canada as well as

1007
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:26,400
Speaker 2: Team India. Team India came up victorious. It was very

1008
00:53:26,480 --> 00:53:28,920
Speaker 2: very good though. It was a good battle. Okay, I

1009
00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:32,040
Speaker 2: want I'll write the kids about Yeah, it was pretty fun.

1010
00:53:33,800 --> 00:53:36,600
Speaker 1: It's good to have you back again. Thanks to Bones

1011
00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:38,520
Speaker 1: for joining us. Earlier in the show.

1012
00:53:38,320 --> 00:53:40,600
Speaker 2: There Jones can't play for Team Australia. Never had a

1013
00:53:40,600 --> 00:53:43,239
Speaker 2: good Australian accent. I was reminded. We went back. We

1014
00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:48,080
Speaker 2: did that announcer uh where we forced him to throw

1015
00:53:48,120 --> 00:53:50,200
Speaker 2: in a few lines during the game and he tried

1016
00:53:50,200 --> 00:53:54,040
Speaker 2: to drop in the Australian. That was a very solid plate.

1017
00:53:54,120 --> 00:53:56,680
Speaker 2: But he can't. He can never do the Australia. We'll

1018
00:53:56,680 --> 00:53:58,480
Speaker 2: share that clip. You know a lot.

1019
00:53:58,520 --> 00:54:00,960
Speaker 3: I forgot how so good Bones do it?

1020
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:02,799
Speaker 1: Five or six things he had to say during a

1021
00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:06,080
Speaker 1: Summer League game and did them all. He eventually got

1022
00:54:06,080 --> 00:54:06,400
Speaker 1: them all in.

1023
00:54:06,440 --> 00:54:08,759
Speaker 2: But yeah, he gave one to Kevin McHale to do.

1024
00:54:11,680 --> 00:54:11,960
Speaker 4: All right.

1025
00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:14,080
Speaker 1: Well, we asked Bones his thoughts on Jimmy Butler. But

1026
00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:16,280
Speaker 1: let's hear from you guys in a little more detail.

1027
00:54:16,760 --> 00:54:19,640
Speaker 1: Season ending torn right acl there in that win over

1028
00:54:19,680 --> 00:54:21,640
Speaker 1: the heat last night. Of course it's against the heat,

1029
00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:22,040
Speaker 1: isn't it.

1030
00:54:22,400 --> 00:54:22,960
Speaker 5: Uh.

1031
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:25,080
Speaker 1: He went to grab like an entry pass in the

1032
00:54:25,080 --> 00:54:27,560
Speaker 1: middle of the paint, sort of collided with Davion Mitchell

1033
00:54:27,880 --> 00:54:31,200
Speaker 1: and that right knee twisted on landing and it sent

1034
00:54:31,239 --> 00:54:34,480
Speaker 1: him sprawling to the court in aggity. Holy man, he

1035
00:54:34,719 --> 00:54:36,680
Speaker 1: was grabbing it and screaming there down for a couple

1036
00:54:36,719 --> 00:54:41,160
Speaker 1: of minutes before being carried off. And yep, Mri says

1037
00:54:41,200 --> 00:54:43,799
Speaker 1: torn acl So what do you what do you think

1038
00:54:43,840 --> 00:54:47,440
Speaker 1: the Warriors will honestly do here? Now that he's out

1039
00:54:47,480 --> 00:54:50,000
Speaker 1: for the season, You still got this? Are we trading Coaminga?

1040
00:54:50,080 --> 00:54:52,279
Speaker 3: Are we not? Like? What's your best guess here?

1041
00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:56,800
Speaker 2: Our best guess is they stick to the plan. Unfortunately,

1042
00:54:56,800 --> 00:54:59,080
Speaker 2: they're going to trade Jonathan comminga forced somebody, but they're

1043
00:54:59,120 --> 00:55:01,400
Speaker 2: just going to try and do it internally because that

1044
00:55:01,560 --> 00:55:04,319
Speaker 2: has been clicking. They come to this home stand here

1045
00:55:04,360 --> 00:55:07,480
Speaker 2: that's seven games old, with the hopes that this team

1046
00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:11,480
Speaker 2: that needs to rotate and fire around and pass the

1047
00:55:11,520 --> 00:55:14,719
Speaker 2: ball will get better at it. And they did. They're

1048
00:55:14,760 --> 00:55:17,080
Speaker 2: six and one over the last seven games. They're clicking,

1049
00:55:17,480 --> 00:55:21,680
Speaker 2: and so all those guys like Brandon Pajemski's advanced, Al

1050
00:55:21,719 --> 00:55:26,040
Speaker 2: Horford is alive, Anthony Melton playing great seventeen points per

1051
00:55:26,080 --> 00:55:30,600
Speaker 2: game over the seven game homestand so what's gonna happen

1052
00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:32,520
Speaker 2: is they hope they get something for Kaminga, but it's

1053
00:55:32,560 --> 00:55:35,920
Speaker 2: probably Danthony Melton. I mentioned d Anthony Melton. He's probably

1054
00:55:35,920 --> 00:55:39,000
Speaker 2: gonna be the guy who replaces Jimmy Butler as the

1055
00:55:39,040 --> 00:55:41,399
Speaker 2: guy who's sort of the connector on the offense and

1056
00:55:41,719 --> 00:55:43,279
Speaker 2: on the first unit, and then when he goes to

1057
00:55:43,280 --> 00:55:45,200
Speaker 2: the second unit and they play a little more ISO,

1058
00:55:45,520 --> 00:55:48,600
Speaker 2: he'll just be there to help out. So he's he's

1059
00:55:48,640 --> 00:55:50,279
Speaker 2: gonna be trying to be Jimmy part two because I

1060
00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:54,960
Speaker 2: don't see them getting anything good enough for Jonathan Kamaker.

1061
00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:58,040
Speaker 2: There's gonna be nobody close to Jimmy Butler. So that's

1062
00:55:58,080 --> 00:56:00,760
Speaker 2: what they got. That's who they're going to be. Really,

1063
00:56:01,800 --> 00:56:04,799
Speaker 2: I don't see them trading Steph. I don't see Steph

1064
00:56:04,840 --> 00:56:07,600
Speaker 2: going to the front offense and saying I want to

1065
00:56:07,640 --> 00:56:11,920
Speaker 2: go win somewhere else, I want to leave. That seems

1066
00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:12,520
Speaker 2: backwards to me.

1067
00:56:12,560 --> 00:56:14,200
Speaker 3: I think that wouldn't happen during the season.

1068
00:56:14,520 --> 00:56:16,600
Speaker 5: I don't think, but I mean, I was, I'm like bones,

1069
00:56:16,640 --> 00:56:18,360
Speaker 5: I was catastrophizing, like this could be the end of

1070
00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:21,080
Speaker 5: Jimmy Butler's career. I mean, he'll be thirty seven when

1071
00:56:21,080 --> 00:56:24,240
Speaker 5: he returns. At the earliest. He's own fifty four million

1072
00:56:24,280 --> 00:56:26,920
Speaker 5: this season, fifty six point eight next season. That is

1073
00:56:26,960 --> 00:56:30,359
Speaker 5: a gigantic salary slot to get a zero from if

1074
00:56:30,360 --> 00:56:33,360
Speaker 5: you're the Warriors. And I was also like, is this

1075
00:56:33,440 --> 00:56:36,359
Speaker 5: the end of Stephen Curry's run in Golden State? Would

1076
00:56:36,360 --> 00:56:39,839
Speaker 5: he make some sort of a change during the offseason,

1077
00:56:39,880 --> 00:56:43,239
Speaker 5: because we've been hearing reports leading up to this trade

1078
00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:46,360
Speaker 5: deadline that the Warriors were already hesitant to include future

1079
00:56:46,400 --> 00:56:49,080
Speaker 5: picks in anything for a trade to bring in a

1080
00:56:49,160 --> 00:56:51,600
Speaker 5: Michael Porter junior or a Trey Murphy the third a

1081
00:56:51,840 --> 00:56:55,120
Speaker 5: player sort of like that. Now if they're thinking we

1082
00:56:55,560 --> 00:56:58,399
Speaker 5: just lost our second best player, Jimmy was playing great.

1083
00:56:58,400 --> 00:56:59,840
Speaker 5: I think part of the reason the Warriors have been

1084
00:56:59,880 --> 00:57:01,959
Speaker 5: so urging here is how well Jimmy had been playing.

1085
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:04,279
Speaker 5: He's even playing great last night before he went down

1086
00:57:04,360 --> 00:57:07,200
Speaker 5: with the injury. Does that mean that they're now more

1087
00:57:07,239 --> 00:57:10,400
Speaker 5: inclined to throw these picks into a trade or less inclined.

1088
00:57:10,560 --> 00:57:13,040
Speaker 5: If you throw out all of the history of Steph

1089
00:57:13,080 --> 00:57:16,560
Speaker 5: Curry and Draymond Green there in Golden State, throw out

1090
00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:18,760
Speaker 5: the four titles, impossible to do. But if you're just

1091
00:57:18,760 --> 00:57:21,200
Speaker 5: looking at a team that is led by all guys

1092
00:57:21,200 --> 00:57:25,080
Speaker 5: in their late thirties who are in the middle of

1093
00:57:25,480 --> 00:57:28,960
Speaker 5: the standings. With a high salary floor or a high

1094
00:57:28,960 --> 00:57:31,240
Speaker 5: salary cap, it doesn't make any sort of sense to

1095
00:57:31,280 --> 00:57:33,760
Speaker 5: trade and bring players in to help this team win

1096
00:57:33,840 --> 00:57:36,920
Speaker 5: this year. But I think they owe it to Steph

1097
00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:39,640
Speaker 5: to try and continue to win as long as he's there.

1098
00:57:39,640 --> 00:57:42,440
Speaker 5: But it's hard from a front office team building perspective

1099
00:57:42,480 --> 00:57:45,120
Speaker 5: to say, yeah, we're sinking more and more assets into

1100
00:57:45,120 --> 00:57:46,440
Speaker 5: this team that's not going to win.

1101
00:57:46,600 --> 00:57:48,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you're right about the Warriors have been playing

1102
00:57:48,880 --> 00:57:51,520
Speaker 1: really well. Butler had been playing the best basketball of

1103
00:57:51,560 --> 00:57:53,800
Speaker 1: his season so far. I think he was, you know,

1104
00:57:53,840 --> 00:57:56,160
Speaker 1: averaging for Jimmy this was good, like twenty one twenty

1105
00:57:56,200 --> 00:57:58,640
Speaker 1: two points per game on pretty good efficiency in the

1106
00:57:58,680 --> 00:58:02,240
Speaker 1: month of January. That correlated with obviously them winning some

1107
00:58:02,360 --> 00:58:04,880
Speaker 1: games here and now, Yeah, the future direction of the

1108
00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:08,840
Speaker 1: franchise just like complete question mark. Now where do you go?

1109
00:58:08,920 --> 00:58:11,120
Speaker 1: How extreme are you? Are you still trading a bunch

1110
00:58:11,120 --> 00:58:13,600
Speaker 1: of draft picks for a key guy that can maybe

1111
00:58:13,640 --> 00:58:16,600
Speaker 1: help Curry and Draymond. That doesn't seem likely the whole

1112
00:58:16,720 --> 00:58:19,360
Speaker 1: Like could you turn to Kaminga and say, look, man,

1113
00:58:19,880 --> 00:58:22,920
Speaker 1: when Curry went down in Game one of the Western

1114
00:58:22,920 --> 00:58:26,480
Speaker 1: Conference semifinals, Like Kaminga was slotted in there and was

1115
00:58:26,480 --> 00:58:29,240
Speaker 1: asked to score a lot. He played really well. They

1116
00:58:29,240 --> 00:58:33,000
Speaker 1: didn't win games against the Wolves, but Kaminga looked solid

1117
00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:35,200
Speaker 1: and scored like twenty three or twenty four points per

1118
00:58:35,240 --> 00:58:38,280
Speaker 1: game on good efficiency. I don't know, though, it doesn't

1119
00:58:38,280 --> 00:58:40,160
Speaker 1: feel like bones is like no way that that ship

1120
00:58:40,200 --> 00:58:43,520
Speaker 1: has sailed, even if Steve says like, oh, yeah, sure, absolutely,

1121
00:58:43,520 --> 00:58:46,560
Speaker 1: maybe we'll try it, Like, I don't know. The guy

1122
00:58:46,560 --> 00:58:47,880
Speaker 1: hasn't played in them, yeah, Like.

1123
00:58:49,320 --> 00:58:51,280
Speaker 2: So it doesn't make sense for them to keep him

1124
00:58:51,280 --> 00:58:53,640
Speaker 2: around for a long term. Maybe you can convince him

1125
00:58:53,680 --> 00:58:57,840
Speaker 2: and say it's two weeks until the trade did LFE, Yeah,

1126
00:58:57,960 --> 00:59:00,320
Speaker 2: let's go out and get some better trade value by

1127
00:59:00,360 --> 00:59:05,360
Speaker 2: playing better. There's that possibility, Steve Kerr as he he

1128
00:59:05,400 --> 00:59:09,120
Speaker 2: said he's ready to play Johnathan Omega, So you imagined

1129
00:59:09,160 --> 00:59:11,640
Speaker 2: that he plays tonight against the Toronto Raptors in that

1130
00:59:11,720 --> 00:59:15,000
Speaker 2: position of literally Jimmy Butler starting like, I don't see

1131
00:59:15,080 --> 00:59:17,960
Speaker 2: him coming off the bench as the twelfth guy. But

1132
00:59:19,960 --> 00:59:22,800
Speaker 2: it's such a strange scenarreia. I do again, long term,

1133
00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:25,200
Speaker 2: I see Danthony Melton being that guy. But the draft

1134
00:59:25,240 --> 00:59:27,520
Speaker 2: picks I think will be more available now. I think

1135
00:59:27,560 --> 00:59:29,840
Speaker 2: they have to help stuph as much as possible. Here's

1136
00:59:29,880 --> 00:59:34,240
Speaker 2: a positive for them. When all those trades, all those

1137
00:59:34,280 --> 00:59:36,200
Speaker 2: other teams are throwing out their picks, it doesn't seem

1138
00:59:36,200 --> 00:59:38,480
Speaker 2: like they're throwing out a lot. So maybe the Worriors

1139
00:59:38,480 --> 00:59:41,280
Speaker 2: don't have to trade a lot for another good player.

1140
00:59:41,760 --> 00:59:45,440
Speaker 2: That's the only positive thing to think about. But it

1141
00:59:45,480 --> 00:59:48,280
Speaker 2: is you. It's crappy for Jimmy obviously.

1142
00:59:48,280 --> 00:59:51,160
Speaker 1: Had a lot of basketball played yesterday on MLK Day.

1143
00:59:51,480 --> 00:59:53,520
Speaker 1: I think there was nine games total. We can just

1144
00:59:53,560 --> 00:59:56,880
Speaker 1: throw you the final scores here by way of the score.

1145
00:59:57,280 --> 00:59:59,880
Speaker 1: Thanks to them for this. Though this graphic drives me nu,

1146
01:00:00,880 --> 01:00:03,880
Speaker 1: I swear it's crooked. Am I going crazy?

1147
01:00:03,920 --> 01:00:04,160
Speaker 3: As it?

1148
01:00:04,200 --> 01:00:04,960
Speaker 2: A little crazy? Yeah?

1149
01:00:05,000 --> 01:00:07,640
Speaker 1: It is? Is it just because the logos are like

1150
01:00:07,760 --> 01:00:09,960
Speaker 1: slightly above the words of the team.

1151
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:10,440
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1152
01:00:10,520 --> 01:00:11,959
Speaker 1: It drives me insane though.

1153
01:00:12,640 --> 01:00:15,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, sometimes they're not above, but sometimes they are. You

1154
01:00:15,400 --> 01:00:16,960
Speaker 2: see the sixers there, that's.

1155
01:00:16,760 --> 01:00:21,480
Speaker 1: A line it's going down ever so likely anyway.

1156
01:00:21,560 --> 01:00:24,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's problems. There's there's just software problems. I listened

1157
01:00:24,520 --> 01:00:27,240
Speaker 2: to John Levy do a podcast this weekend, oh man

1158
01:00:27,360 --> 01:00:29,680
Speaker 2: to hear himvent about Penn Broadcasting.

1159
01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:34,000
Speaker 1: Oh my god, what Levy of the scores.

1160
01:00:34,080 --> 01:00:36,760
Speaker 2: That podcast right that that app right there, that's John

1161
01:00:36,800 --> 01:00:39,720
Speaker 2: Levy that we're looking at align those logos and names

1162
01:00:40,440 --> 01:00:41,040
Speaker 2: John level.

1163
01:00:43,080 --> 01:00:46,240
Speaker 3: I was listening to John Levy do a podcast this weekend.

1164
01:00:46,480 --> 01:00:50,840
Speaker 2: Yes, the online gambling worlds. It's an interesting world, you know.

1165
01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:54,120
Speaker 1: Do you have a big takeaway from besides that from

1166
01:00:54,480 --> 01:00:57,080
Speaker 1: NBA MLK Day any of those games.

1167
01:00:57,280 --> 01:01:00,560
Speaker 2: Well, we heard Brent talk about the New York Knicks

1168
01:01:01,000 --> 01:01:03,880
Speaker 2: a little bit. That's the thing. They got blown out.

1169
01:01:04,160 --> 01:01:05,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, it sums up.

1170
01:01:05,480 --> 01:01:09,000
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, as Trace McGrady was saying, you know, maybe

1171
01:01:09,040 --> 01:01:14,240
Speaker 2: there's some infighting there, something going on, but that it's

1172
01:01:14,280 --> 01:01:16,000
Speaker 2: been going on for a while here. You know, they

1173
01:01:16,040 --> 01:01:17,680
Speaker 2: started well, they had the excuse.

1174
01:01:17,320 --> 01:01:20,440
Speaker 1: Of missing their MVP, like guy in Jalen Brunson. But

1175
01:01:20,480 --> 01:01:22,560
Speaker 1: now he's back. Yeah, but now they're missing Josh Hart,

1176
01:01:22,560 --> 01:01:23,280
Speaker 1: but now he's back.

1177
01:01:23,360 --> 01:01:25,920
Speaker 2: Yeah. Not over this hole. The hole, I mean the

1178
01:01:25,920 --> 01:01:28,800
Speaker 2: first thirty two games versus the last eleven games. It's

1179
01:01:28,840 --> 01:01:31,400
Speaker 2: pretty nuts. They go from the second best offense to

1180
01:01:31,440 --> 01:01:33,560
Speaker 2: the twenty second over this eleven game stretch, they go

1181
01:01:33,560 --> 01:01:37,120
Speaker 2: from sixteenth on defense to twenty eighth. Effective field goal

1182
01:01:37,160 --> 01:01:40,240
Speaker 2: percentage of the opponent eighteenth to twenty seventh, the opponent

1183
01:01:40,320 --> 01:01:43,280
Speaker 2: free throw rate fourteenth to twenty eighth. That just means

1184
01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:46,520
Speaker 2: you ain't moving. You ain't moving those tootsies, right. You

1185
01:01:46,560 --> 01:01:50,840
Speaker 2: could see it yesterday the Mavericks were getting bucket after bucket.

1186
01:01:50,840 --> 01:01:55,240
Speaker 2: It was runway after runway. It was way, way too easy.

1187
01:01:55,480 --> 01:01:57,800
Speaker 2: So yeah, the whole and this is this is a

1188
01:01:57,880 --> 01:02:03,000
Speaker 2: Dallas Mavericks team that's playing very, very capable NBA players,

1189
01:02:03,240 --> 01:02:07,280
Speaker 2: but they're starting lineup yesterday it was Cooper Flag, Max Christie,

1190
01:02:07,360 --> 01:02:10,520
Speaker 2: Najie Marshall, Caleb Martin, Dwight Powell, and you know, two

1191
01:02:10,600 --> 01:02:12,640
Speaker 2: two way guys came off the bench of Musa Cis,

1192
01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:16,800
Speaker 2: Jeremiah Robinson, Earl Brandon Williams, Ryan Emharden and of course Clay.

1193
01:02:17,720 --> 01:02:21,880
Speaker 2: Everybody's beating them. Everybody's destroying the New York Knicks. Yes,

1194
01:02:22,240 --> 01:02:23,640
Speaker 2: is it infighting? Is it?

1195
01:02:23,680 --> 01:02:23,960
Speaker 4: Is it?

1196
01:02:24,000 --> 01:02:27,560
Speaker 2: In part? Yes, the injuries, in part the NBA Cup

1197
01:02:28,320 --> 01:02:31,760
Speaker 2: win and then a few weeks afterwards, So like this,

1198
01:02:31,960 --> 01:02:35,520
Speaker 2: that's possible. It's possible, I mean, is it? So you're saying, Trey,

1199
01:02:35,560 --> 01:02:38,160
Speaker 2: do you think there is a infighting as in they

1200
01:02:38,160 --> 01:02:39,800
Speaker 2: don't like each other or something like that?

1201
01:02:39,840 --> 01:02:41,360
Speaker 3: Part of it?

1202
01:02:41,360 --> 01:02:44,160
Speaker 5: It seems to me that there's tension between Towns and Bridges,

1203
01:02:44,160 --> 01:02:45,920
Speaker 5: and I think part of the reason that Tom Thibodeau

1204
01:02:45,960 --> 01:02:48,920
Speaker 5: was let go was because Mikhale Bridges didn't like Thibodeaux.

1205
01:02:49,640 --> 01:02:51,360
Speaker 5: He's got the air of Jalen Brunson, who's the best

1206
01:02:51,360 --> 01:02:55,560
Speaker 5: player on the team, But I think Cap preferred to

1207
01:02:55,760 --> 01:02:58,040
Speaker 5: Mike Brown because under Mike Brown's offense, he just stands

1208
01:02:58,080 --> 01:03:00,640
Speaker 5: around out there. He played well last night, did hit

1209
01:03:00,720 --> 01:03:04,240
Speaker 5: some threes eventually, but in general he is not nearly

1210
01:03:04,280 --> 01:03:07,120
Speaker 5: as featured as he was in the Thibadeau offense. I

1211
01:03:07,160 --> 01:03:10,240
Speaker 5: don't think maybe the way that Tibbs relied on Jalen

1212
01:03:10,280 --> 01:03:12,840
Speaker 5: Brunson last year covered up some things where in the

1213
01:03:12,840 --> 01:03:14,520
Speaker 5: fourth quarter is just like, get this guy the ball

1214
01:03:14,520 --> 01:03:16,280
Speaker 5: and he's gonna hit every clutch shot, which he did,

1215
01:03:16,400 --> 01:03:18,920
Speaker 5: but also meant they were playing a lot of clutch games. Nonetheless,

1216
01:03:19,040 --> 01:03:21,120
Speaker 5: Tibbs gets the most out of a team during the

1217
01:03:21,160 --> 01:03:22,000
Speaker 5: regular season.

1218
01:03:22,800 --> 01:03:24,640
Speaker 3: It just looks like things are not right.

1219
01:03:24,880 --> 01:03:26,720
Speaker 5: I don't know if it's because the trade deadline is

1220
01:03:26,720 --> 01:03:29,120
Speaker 5: coming around and it's like, should the Knicks trade Carl

1221
01:03:29,120 --> 01:03:31,840
Speaker 5: Anthony Towns for Anthony Davis? All of these things I

1222
01:03:31,840 --> 01:03:33,760
Speaker 5: think factor into what's going on, and what's going on

1223
01:03:33,840 --> 01:03:34,880
Speaker 5: is that the Knicks just don't care.

1224
01:03:34,920 --> 01:03:36,040
Speaker 3: They got ran off the court.

1225
01:03:36,280 --> 01:03:38,200
Speaker 5: Max Christy had six threes in the first half, Like

1226
01:03:38,200 --> 01:03:40,120
Speaker 5: you were saying, every time the Knicks would miss a

1227
01:03:40,120 --> 01:03:42,800
Speaker 5: shot easy layup on the other end, nobody would get

1228
01:03:42,840 --> 01:03:44,840
Speaker 5: back despite having the advantage. They'd have like two guys

1229
01:03:44,840 --> 01:03:46,840
Speaker 5: standing at half court and still somehow.

1230
01:03:46,560 --> 01:03:50,640
Speaker 3: Give up a layup. It was just complete zero effort

1231
01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:51,640
Speaker 3: from the Knicks.

1232
01:03:51,680 --> 01:03:54,040
Speaker 5: So I don't think things will change for this team

1233
01:03:54,120 --> 01:03:56,640
Speaker 5: until they figure out how to get back on the

1234
01:03:56,640 --> 01:03:57,200
Speaker 5: same page.

1235
01:03:57,480 --> 01:04:03,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they need the All Star just maybe cleanse

1236
01:04:03,280 --> 01:04:04,400
Speaker 2: their palate a little bit.

1237
01:04:04,480 --> 01:04:06,200
Speaker 1: No, here's what they need to do worldwide.

1238
01:04:06,200 --> 01:04:06,800
Speaker 3: Wib is right.

1239
01:04:07,280 --> 01:04:12,760
Speaker 1: They gotta hang the NBA Cup banner. They cursed themselves

1240
01:04:12,840 --> 01:04:16,360
Speaker 1: by not hanging it and respecting it as one should

1241
01:04:16,640 --> 01:04:20,080
Speaker 1: when you win it. And this is why they've been struck. No,

1242
01:04:20,160 --> 01:04:23,160
Speaker 1: it's that made me laugh though, But yeah it's rough.

1243
01:04:23,280 --> 01:04:23,920
Speaker 2: They're bad.

1244
01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:25,080
Speaker 3: Watch right now.

1245
01:04:25,000 --> 01:04:28,320
Speaker 1: And like, man I get so maybe it's just because

1246
01:04:28,320 --> 01:04:30,280
Speaker 1: we posted the like a Bosh video, but man I

1247
01:04:30,280 --> 01:04:34,760
Speaker 1: get so many Chris Bosh vibes from Karl Anthony Towns

1248
01:04:35,440 --> 01:04:37,920
Speaker 1: as like he becomes an immediate scapegoat.

1249
01:04:38,040 --> 01:04:39,720
Speaker 3: Yes he is right, you.

1250
01:04:39,680 --> 01:04:43,000
Speaker 1: See like the similarities like good players, all star level players,

1251
01:04:43,040 --> 01:04:46,440
Speaker 1: all NBA type level players, but can so easily just

1252
01:04:46,520 --> 01:04:50,240
Speaker 1: become the escapegoat for a team. We suck because of

1253
01:04:50,320 --> 01:04:52,640
Speaker 1: you man, because you're no, he's not helping himself. This

1254
01:04:52,640 --> 01:04:54,439
Speaker 1: is a bad year for Karl Anthony Towns like still

1255
01:04:54,480 --> 01:04:56,680
Speaker 1: borderline All Star. Maybe he makes it, maybe he doesn't.

1256
01:04:56,960 --> 01:05:00,480
Speaker 1: But yeah, the defensive effort and all of that, how

1257
01:05:00,520 --> 01:05:03,520
Speaker 1: they're being exposed, it's rough right now. Any other those

1258
01:05:03,560 --> 01:05:05,720
Speaker 1: other games tk Jonttia.

1259
01:05:05,240 --> 01:05:07,640
Speaker 5: Well, I told you guys about the January Clippers, and

1260
01:05:07,800 --> 01:05:10,400
Speaker 5: they're showing up like crazy. I know Bones has been

1261
01:05:10,440 --> 01:05:12,080
Speaker 5: talking about how they have to do a lot to

1262
01:05:12,080 --> 01:05:15,320
Speaker 5: beat these bad teams, but they're still beating their bad teams.

1263
01:05:15,320 --> 01:05:18,080
Speaker 5: They've won thirteen of their last fifteen. They're eight and

1264
01:05:18,160 --> 01:05:21,160
Speaker 5: two in January, sixth on offense, four to zero in

1265
01:05:21,200 --> 01:05:22,400
Speaker 5: the clutch during January.

1266
01:05:22,400 --> 01:05:23,600
Speaker 3: They got a little lucky last night.

1267
01:05:23,640 --> 01:05:26,280
Speaker 5: James Hardens, sixteen of sixteen at the free throw line,

1268
01:05:26,600 --> 01:05:29,840
Speaker 5: gets fouled, sent to the line two free throws to

1269
01:05:29,880 --> 01:05:30,160
Speaker 5: ice it.

1270
01:05:30,440 --> 01:05:31,920
Speaker 3: This is them both after.

1271
01:05:31,720 --> 01:05:34,760
Speaker 5: Starting sixteen for sixteen but bounces right back to him,

1272
01:05:35,040 --> 01:05:37,680
Speaker 5: makes the next two finishes sixth or I guess eighteen

1273
01:05:37,720 --> 01:05:41,240
Speaker 5: for twenty. Math Wise, they're tenth in the West, they're

1274
01:05:41,240 --> 01:05:42,840
Speaker 5: four games under five hundred. They're going to make the

1275
01:05:42,840 --> 01:05:45,919
Speaker 5: playoffs and finish over five hundred despite a terrible start

1276
01:05:45,960 --> 01:05:46,440
Speaker 5: to the season.

1277
01:05:46,680 --> 01:05:50,040
Speaker 2: Well, you can see what dealing with your locker room

1278
01:05:50,080 --> 01:05:52,360
Speaker 2: in a positive way will do for a team. See it,

1279
01:05:52,440 --> 01:05:55,600
Speaker 2: Chris Paul, here we are, We're awesome. Now this somehow

1280
01:05:56,040 --> 01:05:59,960
Speaker 2: it's true. It is true. It's totally true. So yeah,

1281
01:06:00,040 --> 01:06:02,640
Speaker 2: I don't think that's the The Knick's answer is cutting somebody.

1282
01:06:02,640 --> 01:06:05,480
Speaker 2: But there obviously is a problem in that locker room.

1283
01:06:05,520 --> 01:06:08,720
Speaker 2: When you see Max Christie splash eight threes when his

1284
01:06:08,760 --> 01:06:13,200
Speaker 2: career high was five, there's an issue obviously there. But yeah,

1285
01:06:13,240 --> 01:06:18,479
Speaker 2: the Clippers, they're clicking obviously. And and I guess Kwi

1286
01:06:18,560 --> 01:06:20,720
Speaker 2: is not hurt. I mean, Kauhi can battle through it,

1287
01:06:21,040 --> 01:06:23,400
Speaker 2: because he did miss was a three game he's on

1288
01:06:23,440 --> 01:06:25,560
Speaker 2: this he's on this road trip for three games or

1289
01:06:25,600 --> 01:06:29,160
Speaker 2: missing three games on this road trip. So that's the

1290
01:06:29,200 --> 01:06:33,000
Speaker 2: scary part. I guess is that he went home to

1291
01:06:33,040 --> 01:06:36,080
Speaker 2: deal with that need to stay away from the road trip,

1292
01:06:36,120 --> 01:06:41,560
Speaker 2: So I guess that's a positive sign. He's not playing well.

1293
01:06:42,120 --> 01:06:44,280
Speaker 2: They have they have not determined that he's out for

1294
01:06:44,280 --> 01:06:46,920
Speaker 2: a long term, so I don't know.

1295
01:06:47,080 --> 01:06:49,520
Speaker 5: I'm just trying to gets business as usual for the Clippers.

1296
01:06:49,520 --> 01:06:51,800
Speaker 5: They're just used to having to deal with Kawhy not

1297
01:06:51,840 --> 01:06:53,280
Speaker 5: being there and it's James Harden stuffing up.

1298
01:06:53,280 --> 01:06:55,080
Speaker 3: He beat the Raptors and he beat the Wizards last night.

1299
01:06:55,360 --> 01:06:58,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's what. Yeah, you just need your second guy.

1300
01:06:58,040 --> 01:07:01,760
Speaker 2: Cat's not doing that for the New York nick the Clippers. Yeah,

1301
01:07:01,840 --> 01:07:05,400
Speaker 2: other than those two misfree throws, James Harden looked fantastic.

1302
01:07:04,960 --> 01:07:09,120
Speaker 1: Closest game last night. Pistons one point victory over the Celtics,

1303
01:07:09,120 --> 01:07:11,600
Speaker 1: two of the best teams in the Eastern Conference. You know,

1304
01:07:11,680 --> 01:07:13,960
Speaker 1: a lot of misshots, but these two teams weren't trying

1305
01:07:14,000 --> 01:07:15,840
Speaker 1: their asses off. How much you watched it, it was

1306
01:07:16,120 --> 01:07:18,440
Speaker 1: I love watching both these teams because they give a damn.

1307
01:07:18,720 --> 01:07:20,880
Speaker 1: You know, we are in sort of this weird time

1308
01:07:20,880 --> 01:07:23,160
Speaker 1: of the NBA season, late January. We're just sort of

1309
01:07:23,160 --> 01:07:25,280
Speaker 1: waiting for the All Star break. Maybe there's a little

1310
01:07:25,320 --> 01:07:28,440
Speaker 1: malaise not these squads. It was a bit of like no, no,

1311
01:07:28,520 --> 01:07:30,440
Speaker 1: we want to prove we're the best in the Eastern Conference.

1312
01:07:30,440 --> 01:07:33,480
Speaker 1: Pistons got it done in the end there, But any

1313
01:07:33,480 --> 01:07:36,840
Speaker 1: thoughts on Detroit one of four Boston one O three.

1314
01:07:37,240 --> 01:07:39,920
Speaker 5: Great Tobias Harris game. He was killing in the post,

1315
01:07:39,960 --> 01:07:42,560
Speaker 5: and I think that's very important for a Piston's team

1316
01:07:42,600 --> 01:07:45,440
Speaker 5: who is okay offensively but has a lot fall on

1317
01:07:45,560 --> 01:07:49,320
Speaker 5: Cad Cunningham's shoulders. Last night, the Celtics were building a

1318
01:07:49,360 --> 01:07:52,600
Speaker 5: wall on Cad. Anytime he would even get any sort

1319
01:07:52,600 --> 01:07:55,760
Speaker 5: of advantage over his primary defender, there were like two

1320
01:07:55,760 --> 01:07:59,040
Speaker 5: bodies waiting for him, So shout out to him. Fourteen assists,

1321
01:07:59,160 --> 01:08:04,280
Speaker 5: zero turnover. Great game for Cad Cunningham adjusting to the defense.

1322
01:08:04,760 --> 01:08:07,880
Speaker 5: And you know, Harris hit some threes late in this game,

1323
01:08:08,120 --> 01:08:09,760
Speaker 5: Jade and Ivy hits some threes late in this game,

1324
01:08:09,760 --> 01:08:12,520
Speaker 5: and Duncan Robinson was pretty hot as.

1325
01:08:12,360 --> 01:08:13,360
Speaker 3: Well all night long.

1326
01:08:13,400 --> 01:08:16,120
Speaker 5: So I thought that was a pretty emphatic victory for

1327
01:08:16,160 --> 01:08:18,880
Speaker 5: the Pistons, even though you know, Celtics could have taken

1328
01:08:18,880 --> 01:08:21,120
Speaker 5: it if Jalen Brown's hits a shot there at the end.

1329
01:08:21,160 --> 01:08:23,679
Speaker 3: But this would be a good series, I think.

1330
01:08:23,880 --> 01:08:26,960
Speaker 1: The absolutely, I mean, yeah, credit to Tobias Harris on

1331
01:08:27,040 --> 01:08:31,320
Speaker 1: the last possession, forcing Jalen Brown into a tough shot,

1332
01:08:31,360 --> 01:08:33,320
Speaker 1: I mean a makeuple shot that Jalen Brown has sort

1333
01:08:33,360 --> 01:08:36,000
Speaker 1: of cooked all season in the mid range jumper. Everybody

1334
01:08:36,160 --> 01:08:39,320
Speaker 1: just missed that one because the play prior, Tobias Harris

1335
01:08:39,360 --> 01:08:42,040
Speaker 1: got cooked by Jillen Brown. I think that you're asking

1336
01:08:42,080 --> 01:08:44,000
Speaker 1: a lot from Tbias Harris out at the three point

1337
01:08:44,040 --> 01:08:45,960
Speaker 1: line to try and contain Jalleen Brown right now, and

1338
01:08:46,000 --> 01:08:47,960
Speaker 1: he just like blew by him. So that was like, oh,

1339
01:08:47,960 --> 01:08:50,320
Speaker 1: but yeah, twenty five points, hit a bunch of threes.

1340
01:08:51,120 --> 01:08:53,599
Speaker 1: You know, he's played his part here and like steps

1341
01:08:53,680 --> 01:08:55,519
Speaker 1: up in some games. You know, he's reminiscent to me,

1342
01:08:55,600 --> 01:08:57,479
Speaker 1: like a little bit of Harrison Barnes, especially earlier in

1343
01:08:57,520 --> 01:08:59,280
Speaker 1: the year when Harrison Barnes was really good for the

1344
01:08:59,320 --> 01:09:03,040
Speaker 1: Spurs as that guy filling in giving you twenty or

1345
01:09:03,080 --> 01:09:04,120
Speaker 1: whatever on any given night.

1346
01:09:04,200 --> 01:09:05,040
Speaker 3: So good Win.

1347
01:09:05,120 --> 01:09:06,479
Speaker 1: That was a fun game. I'd love to see this

1348
01:09:06,520 --> 01:09:06,920
Speaker 1: team play.

1349
01:09:07,320 --> 01:09:10,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, they play, they both fight, and you know that

1350
01:09:10,360 --> 01:09:13,479
Speaker 2: the Detroit Pistons are gonna fight for every single game

1351
01:09:13,560 --> 01:09:16,000
Speaker 2: until this eighty two games is done. They are going

1352
01:09:16,040 --> 01:09:18,080
Speaker 2: to fight. You Shaw, you saw un scrap against Celtics.

1353
01:09:18,160 --> 01:09:21,400
Speaker 2: Jamie Bickerstaff's teams just they just keep scrapping.

1354
01:09:21,439 --> 01:09:24,360
Speaker 1: So that was absolutely Finn thirty one and ten Detroit

1355
01:09:24,400 --> 01:09:25,599
Speaker 1: Pistons up the halfway mark.

1356
01:09:26,240 --> 01:09:29,000
Speaker 5: It's not much worse than the thunder we were talking about.

1357
01:09:29,040 --> 01:09:30,880
Speaker 5: Are they gonna win seventy five games this year? Damn

1358
01:09:30,880 --> 01:09:33,559
Speaker 5: good wreck calling back to earth. But still you see

1359
01:09:33,640 --> 01:09:36,479
Speaker 5: Jason Tatum working out, did an hour long workout in

1360
01:09:36,520 --> 01:09:37,240
Speaker 5: front of media.

1361
01:09:37,600 --> 01:09:39,880
Speaker 3: That's sending a signal he will be back quite soon.

1362
01:09:40,360 --> 01:09:42,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think just after the All Star break type.

1363
01:09:42,600 --> 01:09:44,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, maybe give him a month to kind of like

1364
01:09:44,280 --> 01:09:47,639
Speaker 5: get his legs underneath him for the playoffs. And even

1365
01:09:47,680 --> 01:09:49,679
Speaker 5: if he's just like a catch and shoot guy and

1366
01:09:49,960 --> 01:09:52,559
Speaker 5: their third playmaker, that's huge for.

1367
01:09:52,520 --> 01:09:54,040
Speaker 3: The Celtics to get a guy like that back.

1368
01:09:54,360 --> 01:09:56,519
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, one of your predictions. He's gonna hit a

1369
01:09:56,560 --> 01:09:58,840
Speaker 1: game win postseason in one of the playoff games. I

1370
01:09:58,840 --> 01:10:00,800
Speaker 1: could see it. Let's move to the UH.

1371
01:10:01,120 --> 01:10:03,320
Speaker 5: I was just gonna shout out the Bucks versus Hawks,

1372
01:10:03,320 --> 01:10:07,759
Speaker 5: Peaches and Cream matchup, Peachtree Jerseys versus Cream City Jerseys.

1373
01:10:08,320 --> 01:10:11,479
Speaker 5: Brutal possession for CJ McCollum at the end of this game.

1374
01:10:11,640 --> 01:10:15,000
Speaker 5: Nikhil Alexander Walker had seventeen points, went five of six

1375
01:10:15,040 --> 01:10:17,599
Speaker 5: from three in the fourth quarter, and CJ just wanted

1376
01:10:17,640 --> 01:10:20,160
Speaker 5: to dribble and shoot that last shot, and you could

1377
01:10:20,200 --> 01:10:23,479
Speaker 5: just see Jalen Johnson, Nikkeil Alexander Walker on the other side.

1378
01:10:23,479 --> 01:10:24,800
Speaker 5: I think it was kiss Bert was down in the

1379
01:10:24,840 --> 01:10:25,800
Speaker 5: right corner and they're just.

1380
01:10:25,800 --> 01:10:28,000
Speaker 3: Like, yeah, that was he's shooting.

1381
01:10:28,800 --> 01:10:29,320
Speaker 4: He shooting.

1382
01:10:29,840 --> 01:10:32,400
Speaker 1: I mean. Also, the Hawks were down like thirty points

1383
01:10:32,439 --> 01:10:34,040
Speaker 1: in the game. You know they did, they fought, and

1384
01:10:34,080 --> 01:10:35,640
Speaker 1: they got back into it. I don't know if that

1385
01:10:35,720 --> 01:10:38,160
Speaker 1: says what that says about them or the Bucks as well.

1386
01:10:38,479 --> 01:10:40,680
Speaker 1: Both these teams are like two of my most depressing

1387
01:10:40,720 --> 01:10:43,639
Speaker 1: teams this year in Milwaukee and Atlanta. At least gave

1388
01:10:43,680 --> 01:10:46,439
Speaker 1: people yesterday. Uh, you know a lot of kids in attendance.

1389
01:10:46,479 --> 01:10:49,280
Speaker 1: I assume at the one pm start an entertaining finish,

1390
01:10:49,320 --> 01:10:51,840
Speaker 1: But that McCallum possession of oh my god, what are

1391
01:10:51,880 --> 01:10:53,519
Speaker 1: you doing? He knew he was what he was gonna

1392
01:10:53,520 --> 01:10:55,040
Speaker 1: try to just stumbling and bubble.

1393
01:10:55,160 --> 01:10:57,080
Speaker 2: Yeah. That was the weird thing is that he just

1394
01:10:57,200 --> 01:10:59,960
Speaker 2: lost the ball. He didn't even get a bad shot up,

1395
01:11:00,360 --> 01:11:02,599
Speaker 2: he literally lost the ball. Now, he's had some good

1396
01:11:02,640 --> 01:11:06,000
Speaker 2: moments earlier this year with the Wizards hit that game winner,

1397
01:11:06,920 --> 01:11:09,400
Speaker 2: But it was weird that he was doing it, and

1398
01:11:09,479 --> 01:11:12,320
Speaker 2: it was weird how it finished. Yeah, it was a

1399
01:11:12,320 --> 01:11:15,400
Speaker 2: bit of a heartbreaker there for the Hawks. It look

1400
01:11:15,479 --> 01:11:17,280
Speaker 2: like they're come back. It looks like they're going to

1401
01:11:17,439 --> 01:11:20,240
Speaker 2: steal it from the Bucks. Looked I thought, I thought

1402
01:11:20,280 --> 01:11:20,800
Speaker 2: for sure.

1403
01:11:23,439 --> 01:11:23,880
Speaker 3: All right.

1404
01:11:24,200 --> 01:11:27,080
Speaker 1: Ten starters for the twenty twenty six NBA All Star

1405
01:11:27,160 --> 01:11:29,840
Speaker 1: Game were announced on Monday. We'll show you the All

1406
01:11:29,880 --> 01:11:34,080
Speaker 1: Star starters in the East in order of the graphic,

1407
01:11:34,280 --> 01:11:37,280
Speaker 1: which is quite sexy. Thank you to the NBA for this.

1408
01:11:37,439 --> 01:11:41,839
Speaker 1: It goes Kate Cunningham, Tyrese Maxey, Jannis Ante Dokombo, Jalen Brunson,

1409
01:11:42,240 --> 01:11:43,760
Speaker 1: and Jalen Brown to.

1410
01:11:43,920 --> 01:11:44,800
Speaker 3: Jalen's that's right.

1411
01:11:45,439 --> 01:11:49,639
Speaker 1: All Star starters. In the West, it goes Shay Gildess,

1412
01:11:49,680 --> 01:11:55,959
Speaker 1: Alexander Nikola, Jokic, Luka Dancic, Stephen Curry, and Victor wembin Yama.

1413
01:11:56,280 --> 01:11:58,639
Speaker 1: And we actually have the results of the fan, player

1414
01:11:58,680 --> 01:12:02,760
Speaker 1: and media voting to determine the starters in both conferences,

1415
01:12:02,800 --> 01:12:05,000
Speaker 1: like so you can really look at how it all

1416
01:12:05,040 --> 01:12:08,400
Speaker 1: went down and where their popularity some of these guys

1417
01:12:08,439 --> 01:12:10,720
Speaker 1: were in terms of the players and the media and

1418
01:12:10,800 --> 01:12:15,400
Speaker 1: obviously the fan vote your big takeaways from from the

1419
01:12:15,400 --> 01:12:17,080
Speaker 1: starters here, Tessel start with you.

1420
01:12:17,000 --> 01:12:19,479
Speaker 2: Well, first you said that the jerseys are sexy. Is

1421
01:12:19,520 --> 01:12:22,600
Speaker 2: there a chance that we get actual team jerseys like

1422
01:12:22,640 --> 01:12:25,240
Speaker 2: the players team starts. I would love it because we

1423
01:12:25,320 --> 01:12:28,920
Speaker 2: haven't seen anything about the actual All Star jersy is now.

1424
01:12:28,920 --> 01:12:31,120
Speaker 2: They do come out sort of late when it comes

1425
01:12:31,120 --> 01:12:33,519
Speaker 2: down to we haven't seen seen anything. It is a

1426
01:12:33,560 --> 01:12:35,400
Speaker 2: while from now, so there's time.

1427
01:12:35,880 --> 01:12:37,840
Speaker 3: There's time, and they need to have three teams worth.

1428
01:12:38,200 --> 01:12:41,679
Speaker 1: I guess now.

1429
01:12:41,520 --> 01:12:43,960
Speaker 2: That you say that they.

1430
01:12:43,479 --> 01:12:48,839
Speaker 1: Want world Yeah.

1431
01:12:46,640 --> 01:12:50,320
Speaker 2: Okay, no, no chance, They're still build uh starter. As

1432
01:12:50,360 --> 01:12:53,800
Speaker 2: starters go, it is good to see Steph Curry over

1433
01:12:53,840 --> 01:12:58,880
Speaker 2: the over Steph or Anthony Edwards, just because you start

1434
01:12:58,880 --> 01:13:01,360
Speaker 2: looking at that Western Coffeference team and you see guys

1435
01:13:01,400 --> 01:13:04,479
Speaker 2: who've won m vps and titles and Chay's got an

1436
01:13:04,520 --> 01:13:07,400
Speaker 2: MVP and a title. Yo's got three m vps and

1437
01:13:07,439 --> 01:13:10,360
Speaker 2: a title. How could you keep Steph off of those starters?

1438
01:13:10,360 --> 01:13:12,400
Speaker 2: It just doesn't make sense of the multiple multiple time

1439
01:13:12,520 --> 01:13:14,360
Speaker 2: MVP and four championships.

1440
01:13:14,520 --> 01:13:17,559
Speaker 1: So Anthony Edwards could have been in over Victor Webbenyama though, too,

1441
01:13:17,600 --> 01:13:20,200
Speaker 1: there is that came down to a very that came

1442
01:13:20,200 --> 01:13:21,559
Speaker 1: down to actually the fan vote.

1443
01:13:21,560 --> 01:13:24,840
Speaker 3: In the end, it's finished.

1444
01:13:24,520 --> 01:13:27,920
Speaker 5: Ahead of Wemby and ahead of Anthony Edwards, so they

1445
01:13:27,920 --> 01:13:31,639
Speaker 5: finished tied with weighted score. Yeah, leader in the fan vote,

1446
01:13:32,000 --> 01:13:33,800
Speaker 5: ty goes to the leader in the fan vote, and

1447
01:13:33,800 --> 01:13:35,920
Speaker 5: it was Wemby all because Denny Abdia finished fifth in

1448
01:13:35,960 --> 01:13:37,320
Speaker 5: voting in the Western Conference.

1449
01:13:37,680 --> 01:13:40,120
Speaker 2: So yeah, I'd have to look at the calculations. But

1450
01:13:40,160 --> 01:13:43,200
Speaker 2: then if if Wemby, sorry if Anthony Edwards finishes ahead

1451
01:13:43,200 --> 01:13:46,519
Speaker 2: of Denny and that the calculations would put him over

1452
01:13:46,560 --> 01:13:51,360
Speaker 2: steph or over over Wemby Webby. Yeah, right, right, right,

1453
01:13:51,439 --> 01:13:51,760
Speaker 2: right right.

1454
01:13:51,760 --> 01:13:53,200
Speaker 1: Because it's positionless obviously.

1455
01:13:53,560 --> 01:13:56,599
Speaker 2: Yes, Yeah, And the players voted for Edwards in Durant

1456
01:13:56,760 --> 01:14:02,160
Speaker 2: over Luca and Wemby. Pretty interesting to Shay as well.

1457
01:14:02,240 --> 01:14:05,439
Speaker 2: I saw, yeah for the players. But it's okay that

1458
01:14:05,960 --> 01:14:09,879
Speaker 2: Luca and Wemby are there. I know there's complaints Luca's

1459
01:14:10,040 --> 01:14:12,439
Speaker 2: miss twenty percent of his games, Wemby's miss thirty percent

1460
01:14:12,479 --> 01:14:14,640
Speaker 2: of his games, but I still do think this is

1461
01:14:14,680 --> 01:14:17,439
Speaker 2: a fans experience, and so it's all right if they

1462
01:14:17,479 --> 01:14:21,360
Speaker 2: get who they want essentially, and Luca and Wemby. Those

1463
01:14:21,520 --> 01:14:23,160
Speaker 2: those are the guys that it comes down to when

1464
01:14:23,200 --> 01:14:25,120
Speaker 2: it comes to the down to those five, which are

1465
01:14:25,240 --> 01:14:30,120
Speaker 2: ridiculously good. It is weird that they're doing this. Here

1466
01:14:30,120 --> 01:14:32,800
Speaker 2: are the Western Conference guys. You're not going to be

1467
01:14:32,840 --> 01:14:35,400
Speaker 2: playing on the same team, but you're there. That's your

1468
01:14:35,400 --> 01:14:37,840
Speaker 2: conference are coming from. Yeah, so it's good that they

1469
01:14:37,840 --> 01:14:41,120
Speaker 2: did this traditionally, so no one's super super confused in

1470
01:14:41,160 --> 01:14:42,920
Speaker 2: the end of it, like you have to choose from

1471
01:14:42,920 --> 01:14:47,920
Speaker 2: an American player or this other thing. Either way, great

1472
01:14:47,920 --> 01:14:51,040
Speaker 2: players and Edwards will be on the team no matter He'll.

1473
01:14:50,920 --> 01:14:52,120
Speaker 3: Be starting one of the stars.

1474
01:14:52,200 --> 01:14:55,559
Speaker 1: Do not worry, I guess, like, yeah, less consensus in

1475
01:14:55,600 --> 01:14:58,080
Speaker 1: the Western Conference between all the voting blocks, But in

1476
01:14:58,120 --> 01:15:01,240
Speaker 1: the East, the three blocks, the fans of the media,

1477
01:15:01,240 --> 01:15:04,920
Speaker 1: and the players, they all picked the same five starters,

1478
01:15:05,000 --> 01:15:07,760
Speaker 1: just in little different order. Donovan Mitchell, though, the other

1479
01:15:07,760 --> 01:15:11,280
Speaker 1: potential starter that we talked about, he was sixth in

1480
01:15:11,320 --> 01:15:14,320
Speaker 1: all three categories, so there was a lot more consensus

1481
01:15:14,320 --> 01:15:17,240
Speaker 1: there in the Eastern Conference. Any other takeaways, tk.

1482
01:15:17,760 --> 01:15:19,960
Speaker 5: Uh not really, like you're saying, it's hard to be

1483
01:15:20,000 --> 01:15:23,240
Speaker 5: upset about snubs since the next five are going to

1484
01:15:23,320 --> 01:15:26,920
Speaker 5: be starting for whichever team it is the third All

1485
01:15:26,960 --> 01:15:28,960
Speaker 5: Star team that's out there. I was happy to see

1486
01:15:28,960 --> 01:15:31,160
Speaker 5: Curry over Ant as well. I think if it's all

1487
01:15:31,240 --> 01:15:34,960
Speaker 5: NBA voting, Ant definitely the guy. But like Bone said,

1488
01:15:35,000 --> 01:15:37,519
Speaker 5: this is an exhibition game for the fans, so Steph

1489
01:15:37,600 --> 01:15:40,280
Speaker 5: Curry should be there, especially since Anthony Edwards hasn't shown

1490
01:15:40,680 --> 01:15:43,439
Speaker 5: a predilection for taking the All Star weekend seriously in

1491
01:15:43,479 --> 01:15:44,800
Speaker 5: any way, shape or form.

1492
01:15:44,880 --> 01:15:47,320
Speaker 3: So you're on the second starting team.

1493
01:15:47,479 --> 01:15:49,519
Speaker 1: I'm glad you brought that up. I was thinking about

1494
01:15:49,560 --> 01:15:52,040
Speaker 1: these USA versus World teams, and we obviously have a

1495
01:15:52,040 --> 01:15:53,559
Speaker 1: better idea of the World team because there's only one

1496
01:15:53,560 --> 01:15:57,439
Speaker 1: of them. But we have from the starters alone, we

1497
01:15:57,520 --> 01:16:01,840
Speaker 1: have two guys who cannot take the All Star Game

1498
01:16:01,920 --> 01:16:05,960
Speaker 1: seriously at all, in Luka Doncic and Nicola Jokicic from

1499
01:16:06,000 --> 01:16:08,240
Speaker 1: what we've seen ever before, like they just don't give

1500
01:16:08,240 --> 01:16:11,360
Speaker 1: a damn. But then on the same team, you've got Yannis,

1501
01:16:11,920 --> 01:16:14,519
Speaker 1: and you have Victor Weben Yama, and even I'll say

1502
01:16:14,600 --> 01:16:17,160
Speaker 1: Shay seems to take it maybe what we saw last year,

1503
01:16:17,200 --> 01:16:18,840
Speaker 1: like a little bit more seriously than some of the

1504
01:16:18,920 --> 01:16:22,080
Speaker 1: other guys. So it's like a funny, funny mixture here

1505
01:16:22,120 --> 01:16:24,240
Speaker 1: on the maybe the starters for the World team. You

1506
01:16:24,320 --> 01:16:26,840
Speaker 1: got two guys that generally don't give a damn again

1507
01:16:26,880 --> 01:16:28,920
Speaker 1: in Luka and Jokichen. Then I think three guys that

1508
01:16:29,360 --> 01:16:30,760
Speaker 1: seem to like Caro a lot more.

1509
01:16:30,880 --> 01:16:32,479
Speaker 2: You're staring to buy Well.

1510
01:16:32,360 --> 01:16:33,720
Speaker 3: That part's fascinating to me.

1511
01:16:34,120 --> 01:16:36,120
Speaker 1: Who will win out in the.

1512
01:16:36,080 --> 01:16:38,120
Speaker 3: Locker room of the world and makes the bench of

1513
01:16:38,160 --> 01:16:40,879
Speaker 3: the world very important? Yes, sure, because I think.

1514
01:16:41,960 --> 01:16:44,519
Speaker 5: Uh, Jokic and Luca would be happy to say, no,

1515
01:16:44,800 --> 01:16:46,960
Speaker 5: you guys go, yeah, well we'll just sit here, Yeah,

1516
01:16:46,960 --> 01:16:48,080
Speaker 5: we'll start, We'll take the tips.

1517
01:16:48,120 --> 01:16:49,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah right.

1518
01:16:49,439 --> 01:16:52,439
Speaker 2: But I totally agree those guys. You mentioned Wemby in

1519
01:16:52,520 --> 01:16:54,680
Speaker 2: his first All Star game last year that wasn't an

1520
01:16:54,720 --> 01:16:57,040
Speaker 2: All Star game. He was out there playing in that

1521
01:16:57,080 --> 01:17:00,599
Speaker 2: first game hard. He was playing Yannis. As soon as

1522
01:17:00,640 --> 01:17:03,519
Speaker 2: he saw that the USA playing the World thing was

1523
01:17:03,560 --> 01:17:06,120
Speaker 2: going to happen, he starts tweeting about He's like, yeah,

1524
01:17:06,160 --> 01:17:08,719
Speaker 2: he wanted to play, and when we saw him out there,

1525
01:17:08,920 --> 01:17:11,080
Speaker 2: he played hard. He was defending at the three point line.

1526
01:17:11,120 --> 01:17:14,320
Speaker 2: He wants to win, and Chay is going to try

1527
01:17:14,360 --> 01:17:16,160
Speaker 2: as well. So yeah, you could see it, and you

1528
01:17:16,200 --> 01:17:19,800
Speaker 2: could see it the whole the formatty thing kind of

1529
01:17:20,120 --> 01:17:23,559
Speaker 2: ruins it a part like I got. Hopefully the team

1530
01:17:23,560 --> 01:17:27,760
Speaker 2: that plays that first little game doesn't sit there for

1531
01:17:27,800 --> 01:17:29,840
Speaker 2: an hour and a half before they get back out there,

1532
01:17:29,840 --> 01:17:31,920
Speaker 2: because this isn't even a game, it's these three little

1533
01:17:31,920 --> 01:17:36,200
Speaker 2: tournament things. Other tweakeaway is that the chance of Scottie

1534
01:17:36,200 --> 01:17:38,519
Speaker 2: Barnes missing the All Star Game, I think it is real.

1535
01:17:39,200 --> 01:17:42,519
Speaker 2: You saw the players and fans voted brandon Ingram higher

1536
01:17:42,520 --> 01:17:44,800
Speaker 2: than Scottie Barnes. So if the coaches who vote for

1537
01:17:44,840 --> 01:17:49,799
Speaker 2: the All Stars have any link to how the players

1538
01:17:50,160 --> 01:17:52,760
Speaker 2: are voting, yeah, I could see that. Yeah, you could

1539
01:17:52,760 --> 01:17:55,120
Speaker 2: see Scotty Barnes not even on there. Well, brandon Ingram

1540
01:17:55,439 --> 01:17:58,800
Speaker 2: eighth by the players, and I don't know how high

1541
01:17:59,200 --> 01:18:02,160
Speaker 2: the players voted him because it's not on the list.

1542
01:18:02,160 --> 01:18:04,760
Speaker 2: He didn't make the top ten. And Sam goes with

1543
01:18:04,800 --> 01:18:07,240
Speaker 2: the fans. Not sure about the media, but you can

1544
01:18:07,320 --> 01:18:10,040
Speaker 2: see that. You can see those two guys votes from

1545
01:18:10,160 --> 01:18:13,640
Speaker 2: the coaches who vote for the revert reserves kind of

1546
01:18:13,680 --> 01:18:16,320
Speaker 2: canceling each other out. So there's a possibility that he

1547
01:18:16,360 --> 01:18:16,960
Speaker 2: doesn't make it.

1548
01:18:17,120 --> 01:18:19,680
Speaker 1: One other takeaway, and I saw this from ESPN. The

1549
01:18:19,760 --> 01:18:22,080
Speaker 1: question asked to like their panel of experts was what

1550
01:18:22,160 --> 01:18:25,679
Speaker 1: should the league do about Lebron's twenty one year All

1551
01:18:25,720 --> 01:18:31,000
Speaker 1: Star streak? And Dave mcmanhamon, who I love Big Dave mcmanhamon,

1552
01:18:31,080 --> 01:18:34,400
Speaker 1: fan guy can hoop too. These guy's a shooter, but

1553
01:18:34,479 --> 01:18:37,960
Speaker 1: covers the Lakers, covers Lebron has for a long time.

1554
01:18:38,439 --> 01:18:41,760
Speaker 1: Dave wrote, if Lebron James is healthy, he should be

1555
01:18:41,880 --> 01:18:44,640
Speaker 1: in the All Star Game. Is he one of the

1556
01:18:44,640 --> 01:18:46,080
Speaker 1: best American players in the league?

1557
01:18:46,160 --> 01:18:46,439
Speaker 3: Yes?

1558
01:18:46,560 --> 01:18:48,080
Speaker 1: Are the Lakers a factor in the West?

1559
01:18:48,240 --> 01:18:48,519
Speaker 3: Yes?

1560
01:18:48,760 --> 01:18:51,719
Speaker 1: Are his numbers worthy of consideration. Let's call it twenty

1561
01:18:51,720 --> 01:18:53,360
Speaker 1: two and a half, six and seven.

1562
01:18:53,600 --> 01:18:53,880
Speaker 3: Yes.

1563
01:18:55,120 --> 01:18:57,759
Speaker 1: If the coaches don't vote Lebron James in is a reserve,

1564
01:18:57,880 --> 01:19:00,400
Speaker 1: then it's up to Adam Silver to put him on

1565
01:19:00,439 --> 01:19:05,800
Speaker 1: the roster, to which I say, fuck it is why

1566
01:19:06,120 --> 01:19:09,920
Speaker 1: he hasn't said he's retiring, so this like this is

1567
01:19:09,960 --> 01:19:12,280
Speaker 1: so strange to me. If they pick him, sure, they

1568
01:19:12,280 --> 01:19:14,920
Speaker 1: pick him, they probably will, but it's not up to

1569
01:19:14,920 --> 01:19:16,960
Speaker 1: Adam Silver. If Lebron has not come out and said

1570
01:19:17,439 --> 01:19:20,280
Speaker 1: this is it, guys, this is my swan song, like

1571
01:19:20,439 --> 01:19:24,320
Speaker 1: we saw with other players Michael Jordan, maybe back in Atlanta,

1572
01:19:24,360 --> 01:19:25,880
Speaker 1: even though the fans, of course still in love with

1573
01:19:25,960 --> 01:19:27,960
Speaker 1: him Kobe twenty sixteen.

1574
01:19:28,040 --> 01:19:28,519
Speaker 3: Same thing.

1575
01:19:28,840 --> 01:19:32,519
Speaker 1: Really, the Dirk and Dwayne Wade being added, we knew

1576
01:19:32,520 --> 01:19:35,160
Speaker 1: it was the end, but I don't think we can

1577
01:19:35,200 --> 01:19:37,439
Speaker 1: do it with Lebron. If he's like, no, this is it?

1578
01:19:37,479 --> 01:19:38,640
Speaker 1: That is so strange to me.

1579
01:19:39,680 --> 01:19:42,599
Speaker 5: Am I along with Dave, I want Lebron there, so

1580
01:19:42,600 --> 01:19:45,240
Speaker 5: so then what we just do it again next season?

1581
01:19:45,320 --> 01:19:47,559
Speaker 3: Yeah? I would do it every season until he retires.

1582
01:19:47,600 --> 01:19:49,960
Speaker 1: Okay, Lebron last year screwed a guy out of an

1583
01:19:49,960 --> 01:19:53,559
Speaker 1: All Star spot. Who anyone, whoever's next on the list.

1584
01:19:54,040 --> 01:19:56,519
Speaker 1: He didn't show up and then didn't even play Trey

1585
01:19:56,600 --> 01:19:58,120
Speaker 1: that I don't I don't care. I don't care.

1586
01:19:58,240 --> 01:19:59,120
Speaker 4: It's what do you mean?

1587
01:19:59,160 --> 01:19:59,479
Speaker 3: You don't care?

1588
01:19:59,520 --> 01:20:00,920
Speaker 1: You want leb on there, but he didn't play in

1589
01:20:00,920 --> 01:20:02,439
Speaker 1: the All Star Game? Yeah, so he doesn't care. Yeah,

1590
01:20:02,600 --> 01:20:05,000
Speaker 1: I agree he should care. But he should be there

1591
01:20:05,000 --> 01:20:07,200
Speaker 1: every single year until he retires. This is a game

1592
01:20:07,240 --> 01:20:08,320
Speaker 1: about stars.

1593
01:20:09,400 --> 01:20:10,160
Speaker 2: He's playing well.

1594
01:20:11,560 --> 01:20:14,760
Speaker 1: Okay, if he's selected by the coaches, absolutely, I'm not

1595
01:20:14,760 --> 01:20:16,639
Speaker 1: gonna be like, oh my god, he doesn't deserve it.

1596
01:20:16,720 --> 01:20:18,840
Speaker 1: But this part where if he doesn't get picked by

1597
01:20:18,880 --> 01:20:21,599
Speaker 1: the coaches, that then we now have to just put

1598
01:20:21,640 --> 01:20:24,439
Speaker 1: him there when he hasn't said it's the end. That

1599
01:20:24,479 --> 01:20:25,439
Speaker 1: part is so weird to me.

1600
01:20:26,080 --> 01:20:27,320
Speaker 5: I don't think because you could do that for like

1601
01:20:27,360 --> 01:20:29,519
Speaker 5: three year Wade hadn't both said it was the end either.

1602
01:20:29,880 --> 01:20:33,200
Speaker 1: I think it was implied it was the end they

1603
01:20:33,240 --> 01:20:35,800
Speaker 1: had from what I remembered what it was like twenty nineteen, right,

1604
01:20:35,960 --> 01:20:37,400
Speaker 1: I think it was pretty implied that.

1605
01:20:37,360 --> 01:20:40,400
Speaker 2: It was like twenty nineteen and they were both selected

1606
01:20:40,560 --> 01:20:44,760
Speaker 2: as these honorary premonial like you're on one team and

1607
01:20:44,800 --> 01:20:47,400
Speaker 2: you're on the other. So basically they had two of them.

1608
01:20:47,800 --> 01:20:51,000
Speaker 2: That's the difference between Lebron. There was an East and

1609
01:20:51,120 --> 01:20:55,439
Speaker 2: West back in the day, and so they took those spots.

1610
01:20:55,760 --> 01:20:58,080
Speaker 1: Again, I have no problem with that though, like when

1611
01:20:58,120 --> 01:21:00,000
Speaker 1: it's the end and it's like you're like, this is

1612
01:21:00,160 --> 01:21:03,760
Speaker 1: like honor to honor, an absolute legacy. I get that,

1613
01:21:04,200 --> 01:21:05,760
Speaker 1: But it's odd to me that if we were to

1614
01:21:05,800 --> 01:21:08,120
Speaker 1: do it this year, if Silver's like, yeah, put Lebron in,

1615
01:21:08,760 --> 01:21:11,400
Speaker 1: and then he plays again next year and whatever, maybe

1616
01:21:11,400 --> 01:21:14,400
Speaker 1: he is injured for the first half or obviously finally

1617
01:21:14,400 --> 01:21:16,040
Speaker 1: starts to fall off, whatever, but then we just do

1618
01:21:16,080 --> 01:21:19,000
Speaker 1: it again. We just keep doing it. That's weird to me.

1619
01:21:19,120 --> 01:21:22,960
Speaker 2: Man, it's odd, especially because he may not want to

1620
01:21:23,000 --> 01:21:26,080
Speaker 2: be there at all. I mean, he's obviously honored the

1621
01:21:26,160 --> 01:21:30,280
Speaker 2: game plenty, But I think Lebron and Adam will probably

1622
01:21:30,320 --> 01:21:33,479
Speaker 2: talk it over. Yes, they'll probably know if this is

1623
01:21:33,520 --> 01:21:36,920
Speaker 2: the end, then you should be there, or do you

1624
01:21:36,960 --> 01:21:39,519
Speaker 2: want to be there periods? Should we just skip you

1625
01:21:39,600 --> 01:21:43,360
Speaker 2: and not have you as a ceremonial guy. They'll they'll

1626
01:21:43,360 --> 01:21:45,719
Speaker 2: talk it out. But this will be the first NBA

1627
01:21:45,800 --> 01:21:48,760
Speaker 2: All Start to ever have sciatica if he goes there.

1628
01:21:48,840 --> 01:21:52,639
Speaker 2: There's never been an All Star in NBA history. I'm

1629
01:21:52,680 --> 01:21:56,599
Speaker 2: not checking everybody's injury reports, but sciatica and you go

1630
01:21:56,680 --> 01:21:59,960
Speaker 2: play in the NBA game really strange, Like you start

1631
01:22:00,080 --> 01:22:02,240
Speaker 2: thinking a forty year old's like when MJ did it,

1632
01:22:03,479 --> 01:22:07,040
Speaker 2: he didn't have, sayatka what he has even though he's

1633
01:22:07,120 --> 01:22:10,479
Speaker 2: that old. But anyway, it's up to Lebron really what

1634
01:22:10,520 --> 01:22:11,000
Speaker 2: it comes down to.

1635
01:22:11,200 --> 01:22:13,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, if he wants to play, I think he should

1636
01:22:13,240 --> 01:22:15,679
Speaker 5: be a starter from the second team.

1637
01:22:15,960 --> 01:22:18,800
Speaker 1: Right there as two teams. Well, we'll find out the

1638
01:22:18,800 --> 01:22:21,760
Speaker 1: All Star reserves. I think next week. I'm pretty sure

1639
01:22:21,800 --> 01:22:25,240
Speaker 1: that's when we find out. And it's like February sure, maybe,

1640
01:22:25,240 --> 01:22:27,680
Speaker 1: well maybe that's week and a half. Actually all right,

1653
01:23:11,479 --> 01:23:14,439

01:23:14,479 --> 01:23:18,320
Speaker 1: wemb Be good game, both Alexander Cousins good games, SGA

1655

Speaker 1: and Nikiel But Maxie twenty nine points the eight steals,

1656
01:23:21,800 --> 01:23:23,559
Speaker 1: like I said, twelve to twenty four from the floor,

1657
01:23:23,920 --> 01:23:27,440
Speaker 1: perfect at the line, eight assists, four rebounds.

1658
01:23:27,000 --> 01:23:27,519
Speaker 3: One block.

1659
01:23:28,080 --> 01:23:30,040
Speaker 1: I like, I just like you know, I geek out

1660
01:23:30,080 --> 01:23:33,120
Speaker 1: anytime I see a high number there in that steals

1661
01:23:33,200 --> 01:23:37,000
Speaker 1: or blocks column. It's something special to me, man, it

1662
01:23:37,160 --> 01:23:37,960
Speaker 1: means something to me.

1663
01:23:38,040 --> 01:23:38,240
Speaker 4: Eight.

1664
01:23:38,600 --> 01:23:41,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, so Maxie lill boy, all right, pick them Tasks.

1665
01:23:42,400 --> 01:23:42,960
Speaker 3: Where are we going?

1666
01:23:43,720 --> 01:23:48,360
Speaker 2: We shall go to Philadelphi. Yeah, even though it's a

1667
01:23:49,000 --> 01:23:51,960
Speaker 2: w S Rivals Week, did you guys know it's Amazon

1668
01:23:52,040 --> 01:23:56,320
Speaker 2: webs Services Rivals Week. It's sponsored by Amazon Web Services

1669
01:23:56,880 --> 01:24:01,280
Speaker 2: and they're they're featuring the Spurs Houston game. Fantastic, But

1670
01:24:01,360 --> 01:24:04,559
Speaker 2: I went with the smaller line, the teeniest, tiniest line

1671
01:24:04,560 --> 01:24:06,320
Speaker 2: of them all. Philadelphia is three bout one and a

1672
01:24:06,360 --> 01:24:09,960
Speaker 2: half at home to Phoenix. Should be a good game. Tray.

1673
01:24:09,960 --> 01:24:13,439
Speaker 2: You've got Phoenix going into Philadelphia, I guess because Phoenix

1674
01:24:13,520 --> 01:24:14,520
Speaker 2: is a Wallie.

1675
01:24:14,240 --> 01:24:16,400
Speaker 3: Literally, who knows? It's double shrawn back as well.

1676
01:24:16,479 --> 01:24:20,760
Speaker 2: Right, both are played yesterday and both looked game good.

1677
01:24:23,040 --> 01:24:27,080
Speaker 2: Dylan Brooks had six threes. I think Colin Gillespie had

1678
01:24:27,120 --> 01:24:30,920
Speaker 2: five threes. Everybody's splashing on that team, so.

1679
01:24:31,760 --> 01:24:34,519
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a tough game. I went back and

1680
01:24:34,560 --> 01:24:36,479
Speaker 1: forth to I ultimately went with the home team, like

1681
01:24:36,560 --> 01:24:40,200
Speaker 1: Tasks got a win by two. Screwed me last night

1682
01:24:40,200 --> 01:24:42,479
Speaker 1: though I had the Pistons winning and I had them

1683
01:24:42,479 --> 01:24:44,040
Speaker 1: to win by four and they didn't cover, So I

1684
01:24:44,080 --> 01:24:46,360
Speaker 1: did take that l I'm eighting four, Trey seven and five,

1685
01:24:46,400 --> 01:24:49,320
Speaker 1: tast six and six. Man, look at us, everybody at

1686
01:24:49,360 --> 01:24:52,559
Speaker 1: five hundred or above. Here we get into the later stages.

1687
01:24:52,600 --> 01:24:55,960
Speaker 1: Yet for a day. It's right, well likes in theory.

1688
01:24:56,000 --> 01:24:58,240
Speaker 1: We can all be above five hundred. After tonight, if

1689
01:24:58,240 --> 01:25:00,680
Speaker 1: Philadelphia wins, because Trey woulds, it will be something sick.

1690
01:25:00,800 --> 01:25:04,240
Speaker 1: So we will see. Yeah, rivals week. I saw one

1691
01:25:04,280 --> 01:25:07,559
Speaker 1: of the rivals. I think it's tomorrow night, huge rival

1692
01:25:07,600 --> 01:25:09,400
Speaker 1: between the Cavaliers and Hornets.

1693
01:25:09,960 --> 01:25:14,879
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, pall brothers. That's literally the only explanation.

1694
01:25:15,000 --> 01:25:17,040
Speaker 3: So silly. This is the dumbest thing they do.

1695
01:25:17,200 --> 01:25:17,400
Speaker 5: I know.

1696
01:25:18,240 --> 01:25:19,599
Speaker 3: There. They stuck with.

1697
01:25:19,560 --> 01:25:22,880
Speaker 5: It for a while, exactly exactly right, and it doesn't

1698
01:25:22,920 --> 01:25:26,479
Speaker 5: It does literally nothing. They're just they just want anything

1699
01:25:26,520 --> 01:25:29,800
Speaker 5: to be uh similar to the NBA Cup. They're like,

1700
01:25:29,840 --> 01:25:34,000
Speaker 5: we need something Brandon during the most important time of football.

1701
01:25:34,720 --> 01:25:37,320
Speaker 5: Literally anything they could get eyes. But this isn't it right,

1702
01:25:37,439 --> 01:25:39,400
Speaker 5: this is not it. They should do another tournament.

1703
01:25:41,560 --> 01:25:42,240
Speaker 1: Football cup.

1704
01:25:42,400 --> 01:25:45,679
Speaker 5: Yeah, football football cup. I haven't played flag football against

1705
01:25:45,680 --> 01:25:48,640
Speaker 5: each other. People would tune in. God, I would be fascinated.

1706
01:25:48,760 --> 01:25:52,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's going to be an Olympic event this year, right, sorry,

1707
01:25:52,479 --> 01:25:55,559
Speaker 1: you know, Okay, yeah, I think so, because like every

1708
01:25:56,200 --> 01:25:58,479
Speaker 1: Olympics get to add a couple events that they want

1709
01:25:58,520 --> 01:25:59,920
Speaker 1: to try out. I think it is.

1710
01:26:00,080 --> 01:26:00,600
Speaker 2: I think so too.

1711
01:26:00,840 --> 01:26:01,519
Speaker 3: That's sort of fun.

1712
01:26:01,800 --> 01:26:02,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1713
01:26:02,120 --> 01:26:04,200
Speaker 1: Remember there was Takarando maybe being on the team.

1714
01:26:04,240 --> 01:26:05,960
Speaker 3: I don't think that's happening. Oh yeah, he's supposed to

1715
01:26:05,960 --> 01:26:07,280
Speaker 3: be a great flag football quarterback.

1716
01:26:07,360 --> 01:26:07,960
Speaker 2: Right yeah.

1717
01:26:08,080 --> 01:26:09,960
Speaker 3: I'll take the US to win the Golden this one.

1718
01:26:10,520 --> 01:26:12,600
Speaker 1: I would like, we're gonna do it.

1719
01:26:12,680 --> 01:26:14,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.

1720
01:26:14,200 --> 01:26:16,919
Speaker 1: I think teams are just figuring out what flag football.

1721
01:26:16,960 --> 01:26:19,639
Speaker 1: Other countries right now are figuring out what flag football

1722
01:26:19,760 --> 01:26:22,160
Speaker 1: is and are putting together a team. Would be a

1723
01:26:22,200 --> 01:26:25,320
Speaker 1: good chance, like if you're from whatever country where football

1724
01:26:25,360 --> 01:26:28,360
Speaker 1: is not popular, like pretty good chance to get into

1725
01:26:28,400 --> 01:26:29,040
Speaker 1: the Olympics.

1726
01:26:29,120 --> 01:26:31,320
Speaker 2: Yeah man, oh yeah, yeah, let's put together.

1727
01:26:31,400 --> 01:26:34,759
Speaker 1: It's it's like that breakdancing woman for the Australian team.

1728
01:26:35,520 --> 01:26:37,040
Speaker 1: She's like nobody else is doing it.

1729
01:26:37,960 --> 01:26:41,799
Speaker 5: Dyson Daniels could make the Australian flag football team easily.

1730
01:26:41,840 --> 01:26:42,200
Speaker 3: He could.

1731
01:26:43,040 --> 01:26:47,639
Speaker 1: Okay, Australians could be actually maybe good at flag football.

1732
01:26:48,040 --> 01:26:52,920
Speaker 1: They have Ozzie rules and do have rugby?

1733
01:26:53,320 --> 01:26:55,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, you guys don't ply on top of each other,

1734
01:26:56,960 --> 01:26:57,439
Speaker 3: all right.

1735
01:26:59,320 --> 01:27:01,320
Speaker 2: I was there in Green in two thousand and four.

1736
01:27:02,000 --> 01:27:04,080
Speaker 2: They asked me to be on the baseball team. They said,

1737
01:27:04,080 --> 01:27:04,679
Speaker 2: we need.

1738
01:27:04,600 --> 01:27:07,599
Speaker 1: We need guys you know how to play baseball.

1739
01:27:07,640 --> 01:27:09,400
Speaker 2: But no, what the strange thing is with flag football?

1740
01:27:09,439 --> 01:27:11,360
Speaker 2: How many teams are they asking for?

1741
01:27:11,760 --> 01:27:15,920
Speaker 1: Like a great question represented by every country? Yeah, yeah,

1742
01:27:15,960 --> 01:27:16,679
Speaker 1: what you're asking.

1743
01:27:16,560 --> 01:27:18,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, well it's like you got to come up with

1744
01:27:18,040 --> 01:27:20,160
Speaker 2: a bunch of players. Yeah, it might be a teeny

1745
01:27:20,200 --> 01:27:23,080
Speaker 2: tiny small tournament. Is there are there Olympic sports where

1746
01:27:23,160 --> 01:27:27,680
Speaker 2: it's like almost b sports of Olympics, Like they're just

1747
01:27:27,760 --> 01:27:28,799
Speaker 2: kind of like, I mean, that's.

1748
01:27:28,640 --> 01:27:30,360
Speaker 1: Why we did have breakdown.

1749
01:27:32,400 --> 01:27:33,240
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1750
01:27:33,840 --> 01:27:36,439
Speaker 5: I think baseball is actually kind of similar to flag football,

1751
01:27:36,439 --> 01:27:39,240
Speaker 5: and that only Americans really care about it.

1752
01:27:40,880 --> 01:27:42,640
Speaker 2: There's lots of teams.

1753
01:27:43,000 --> 01:27:45,960
Speaker 5: There are a lot of Latin America companies in American

1754
01:27:45,960 --> 01:27:48,640
Speaker 5: countries and Asian America Asian companies.

1755
01:27:48,280 --> 01:27:49,799
Speaker 2: But they had way too many countries.

1756
01:27:49,880 --> 01:27:52,760
Speaker 3: Can stop saying companies. Man been living in America so long,

1757
01:27:52,800 --> 01:27:56,360
Speaker 3: that is adult with these corporations.

1758
01:27:57,880 --> 01:28:00,599
Speaker 5: But again, nobody cares. And that's why they went away

1759
01:28:00,640 --> 01:28:03,519
Speaker 5: and came back it's you know, football is now our

1760
01:28:03,600 --> 01:28:05,240
Speaker 5: national pastime, so we got to figure out a way

1761
01:28:05,240 --> 01:28:05,880
Speaker 5: to get it in there.

1762
01:28:06,760 --> 01:28:10,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's only because it's here. Yeah, it's very strange.

1763
01:28:10,439 --> 01:28:12,720
Speaker 2: But listen, the brands get to you man, I get it.

1764
01:28:12,840 --> 01:28:16,759
Speaker 2: The company's Amazon Web Services. I'm talking about who's promoting

1765
01:28:16,800 --> 01:28:19,960
Speaker 2: the NBA Rivals Week. There used to be some good

1766
01:28:20,160 --> 01:28:22,439
Speaker 2: rivals games. It just depends on the game if it's

1767
01:28:22,479 --> 01:28:25,200
Speaker 2: good or not. Like last year, I think we liked

1768
01:28:25,320 --> 01:28:28,439
Speaker 2: Rivals Week because there was good games, but that just

1769
01:28:28,479 --> 01:28:30,160
Speaker 2: means there's good games. I don't think guys are really

1770
01:28:30,160 --> 01:28:33,360
Speaker 2: getting up Like the Lakers Nuggets could have been a

1771
01:28:33,360 --> 01:28:35,880
Speaker 2: good game tonight, but no. Yoki kind of changes things.

1772
01:28:35,920 --> 01:28:36,040
Speaker 5: You know.

1773
01:28:36,080 --> 01:28:38,599
Speaker 2: I don't know Amazon Web Services is going to get

1774
01:28:38,600 --> 01:28:40,840
Speaker 2: a lot of clients because it's not going to be

1775
01:28:40,840 --> 01:28:42,280
Speaker 2: all that good, but.

1776
01:28:43,360 --> 01:28:44,919
Speaker 1: Gets Lakers a rivalry.

1777
01:28:45,439 --> 01:28:48,480
Speaker 3: It was for a second, yeah, when Mike Malone was talking.

1778
01:28:48,240 --> 01:28:52,800
Speaker 2: Trash okay, yeah, and when Yoka shut over to go

1779
01:28:52,840 --> 01:28:55,320
Speaker 2: win the championship, you know, on the way to the championship.

1780
01:28:55,360 --> 01:28:57,519
Speaker 2: But Cavs sworns what is that? Right?

1781
01:28:57,800 --> 01:28:59,439
Speaker 3: I missed the days when it used to be Bowls

1782
01:28:59,479 --> 01:29:01,960
Speaker 3: versus Horn's because they had Lonzo.

1783
01:29:02,520 --> 01:29:05,960
Speaker 5: That's the only reason that this his rivals, Lonzo and Lamela.

1784
01:29:06,120 --> 01:29:09,120
Speaker 1: Then just then, let's just do Brother's Week Brother's Week,

1785
01:29:09,280 --> 01:29:11,800
Speaker 1: because there's so many brothers obviously in the league. Let's

1786
01:29:11,840 --> 01:29:13,479
Speaker 1: just have them play each other and do a bunch

1787
01:29:13,479 --> 01:29:15,840
Speaker 1: of jersey swaps that they've already done. Anyway, who cares?

1788
01:29:15,920 --> 01:29:18,479
Speaker 3: Right, all right, that's I mean, maybe they'll do that

1789
01:29:19,240 --> 01:29:21,360
Speaker 3: Brother's Week. It's Brother's week. It comes to March.

1790
01:29:21,439 --> 01:29:24,160
Speaker 1: Now, imagine Brent Barry during Brother's Week back in the day,

1791
01:29:24,800 --> 01:29:31,960
Speaker 1: he would have played all week. All right, Thanks so

1800
01:29:56,479 --> 01:29:58,000
