00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 1: It's clobbering time. It's clobbering time. So great, it's clobber

2
00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 1: and time. It's clobor in time. It's clombering time. It's

3
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:11,880
Speaker 1: clover and time. It's clobber and time. It's clobber and time.

4
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 2: Oh, I believe it's clobber and time. It's clobber and talk.

5
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 1: I'd love to, but I already played two characters. It's

6
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:21,120
Speaker 1: clobur in time. Do you know what time it is?

7
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:21,440
Speaker 3: I do?

8
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 2: Ah, it's claborant time.

9
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 1: Truth is it's clopper and time.

10
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:28,319
Speaker 2: Apparently I'm no longer in this.

11
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:39,199

00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 4: the Gilded Age.

30
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 1: Once you start, oh, I can't stop, can't stop.

31
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 2: But man, that missus Armstrong.

32
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: Already.

33
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:35,759
Speaker 2: But here we are doing an NBA podcast.

34
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 4: We got a bunch of NBA news to go over,

35
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 4: and a little bit later we're gonna talk about the

36
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,639
Speaker 4: Dunk of the Year nominees and who we think should

37
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 4: have won, because I actually know who won the fan

38
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 4: vote on NBA dot com.

39
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 3: Yeah wow, Yeah, called him up.

40
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 2: He doesn't go. He doesn't have a lot going on

41
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:55,640

Speaker 2: Really appreciate that.

47
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 4: Shall we just get into the news and play a

48
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 4: little is this news? I got the headlines for you guys?

49
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 4: You're gonna tell me whether or not they're newsworthy. And

50
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 4: we got to start with Trey on this first one

51
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,920
Speaker 4: because it's Bulls related. NBA dot Com Billy Donovan and

52
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 4: the Bulls agree to a contract extension.

53
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 2: Trey Kirby, is this news, Big Bill coming through?

54
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 3: This ain't surprising news. I've said it so many times

55
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 3: on the show, most recently when the front office got

56
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 3: their extensions. The Bulls ownership wants two things. Don't be

57
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 3: the worst team in the league and keep selling out

58
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 3: the United Center. They go hand in hand. There was

59
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 3: a time when the Bulls were a joke in the

60
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 3: NBA Dad Jim Boyling. They finally fell out of the

61
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 3: top of the NBA attendance rankings and the Bulls said,

62
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 3: never again. We're going for the ninth and tenth seed

63
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 3: time after time after time. Billy Donovan five years in Chicago.

64
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 3: He is under five hundred as a coach. He has

65
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 3: one playoff game win in one playoff series appearance, many

66
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 3: play and losses as well. But on the other hand,

67
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 3: it's like changing the coach does nothing for the Bulls.

68
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 3: What they supposed to do, Go sign Mike Malone, no

69
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 3: chance he comes to Chicago, go sign Tom Thibodeau. He

70
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 3: was already there. They said, no, thank you, even though

71
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 3: you have the best winning percentage in franchise history. The

72
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 3: Bulls were more entertaining last year, playing a lot faster.

73
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 3: They're competitive in that they could win any game any nights.

74
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 3: Usually averages out to about thirty eight wins per season

75
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 3: for Billy. So I suppose they could go for a cheaper,

76
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 3: rebuilding coach if they wanted. But what's the point is

77
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 3: kind of what I come down to. Billy Donovan is

78
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 3: a fine coach. He's not the problem in Chicago. But

79
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 3: I do find it very, very awkward for Billy that

80
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 3: he left Oklahoma City because he didn't want to rebuild.

81
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 3: Mark Diagnolt was an assistant coach for Billy Donovan took over.

82
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,119
Speaker 3: They won the championship last year, and I think they're

83
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 3: closer to the next one than Chicago is. So maybe,

84
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 3: uh a bit of a miss by Billy there on

85
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 3: choosing where he wants to be. But this to me

86
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 3: is just like fine.

87
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: Whatever.

88
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 4: It's like Bulls fans are like defeated by this order.

89
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 3: Okay, yes, yes, I mean kind of yeah, But what's

90
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 3: a better choice.

91
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 2: Right, right.

92
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 4: I mean, let's I guess point out too that the

93
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,599
Speaker 4: Knicks did try and or they requested with the Chicago Bulls,

94
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 4: hey can we talk to Billy Donovan?

95
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 2: We might like him for our next coach.

96
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 4: After they fired to Benowan obviously ultimately went with Mike

97
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 4: Brown after a lot of teams, including the Bulls.

98
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 2: No, no, you're not talking to our coach. So yeah, I

99
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 2: want him up here.

100
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: And the next one talk to everybody. Well, I'll talk

101
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: to a guy who's thirty eight and forty four, no problem.

102
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: They'll get after everybody. It's almost like you have to

103
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: appreciate these bulls just because of how much they love

104
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: this mediocrity. I mean, you know, obviously they could check

105
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: out other coaches and say, maybe we get better with

106
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,280
Speaker 1: a younger coach, but it's it's what they want, it's

107
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: what they are. Well, any anybody who has like we

108
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: just mentioned a Mark Dagnaut, like you're not just signed

109
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 1: with the Phoenix Suns. Maybe somebody younger who has a

110
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,840
Speaker 1: different idea, but we don't know, and we don't know,

111
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: and will a superstar coach come there? No, the bigger problem,

112
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 1: like you said, it's the front office and trying to

113
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: find better players. So it's it is one of those

114
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,679
Speaker 1: things that fans can appreciate. They are different. They are zagging.

115
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: When most teams are trying this new coach every three years,

116
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 1: a lot of the.

117
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 2: Team are yeah, some of them do it every year.

118
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, So at the very least, they are zagging. They

119
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: are different. I wonder if they decided to announce this

120
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: in late July here and clobbering season when nothing is

121
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: going on, because we all knew this was coming and

122
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: the negotiations started literally months ago. I mean it was

123
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 1: it was June at least, and now they're announcing it now.

124
00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: Maybe they just want some headlines, or maybe they're just

125
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 1: they just are who they are.

126
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,359
Speaker 4: This is apart move by the front office because you

127
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 4: just rehire, continue with the coach you have, because that's

128
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 4: the ultimate meat shield to give you a survivor reference.

129
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 2: It's like that's then if heaven forbid.

130
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 4: They don't win thirty nine games and get into a

131
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 4: play in game and it goes even worse than that,

132
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 4: well then you always have the move. If you're the

133
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 4: front office too, well, it's probably the coach's fault and

134
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 4: we'll try somebody else. But if you continue on that path,

135
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 4: you can just you know, you don't fire that coach,

136
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 4: you don't try somebody new, and you still have that

137
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 4: card to play when it comes to saving your own ass.

138
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 4: So I think that's what Ak and Eversley are I

139
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 4: guess wisely doing here. Now we don't know the length

140
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 4: or financial terms of this contract. I don't know forty years,

141
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 4: two hundred billion or something.

142
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 2: But it's just it's you said it.

143
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 4: It's strange in today's NBA landscape where yeah, it's just

144
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:50,279
Speaker 4: like ever revolving door of coaches in most spots in

145
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 4: most franchises, and the Bulls are doing the opposite. It's

146
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 4: they like some franchises, the Kings would have had three

147
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 4: or four different coaches by now Sons would have as well,

148
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 4: Like Kings have had three different exactly they've had and

149
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 4: Billy Donovan and they look at thirty nine and forty

150
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 4: three is okay because as long as the place is packed,

151
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 4: they're happy with that.

152
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 2: But it's very.

153
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 4: Mid Yeah, one playoff victory, DeRozan went for forty one

154
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 4: in that game.

155
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 6: Great game, it was an awesome game, but of Middleton

156
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 6: got hurt. I was going to Game three. In Chicago

157
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 6: as fired up. Oh right, this is gonna be awesome.

158
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 3: No, Middleton DeRozan coming off a huge game, and they

159
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 3: lost by thirty worst home loss in playoff history for

160
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 3: the Chicago Bulls. But at least they announced this extension.

161
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 3: The last time Billy Donner had got one. Didn't even

162
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 3: know until months afterwards in the season was starting, was like, oh,

163
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 3: by the way, he's going to be around for the

164
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 3: rest of his life.

165
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, with the number one in attendance. I know

166
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: that they ranked number one in attendants, but it sure

167
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: doesn't feel that way, right, Like, it doesn't feel like

168
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 1: that place is rocking at any point. It is Chicago,

169
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: so there's enough people in there. But when we say

170
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: it's the number one, and well, yeah.

171
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 4: They're an mediocre basketball team. So yeah, I think it

172
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 4: changes from night to night on how they're playing. Like

173
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 4: TK said, it's usually a coin flip when you head

174
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 4: down there. I guess I don't know what their home

175
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 4: record was, but I assume it's around five hundred.

176
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, probably right, Probably right.

177
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 4: They've had a pretty quiet offseason. I guess, all things considered,

178
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 4: the Bulls, right, They re signed Trey Jones to a

179
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 4: three year deal. They traded Lonzo Ball for Isaacacorro yep,

180
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 4: and they drafted the French kid with a number twelve pick,

181
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 4: And that's sort of all they've done here and in

182
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 4: also re extending their front office and coaches.

183
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Giddy is the big thing that's still hanging

184
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:33,719
Speaker 3: over the head for the balls, and they're gonna get

185
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 3: a good.

186
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: Deal on them.

187
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 3: They're going to be paying him like way less than

188
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 3: Emmanuel quickly he's making from the Raptors. Like these are

189
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 3: teams that are very similar. The Raptors did change their coach,

190
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 3: getting rid of Nick Nurse. I don't know that Darko

191
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 3: has been better. He's throwing pizza parties. The ball moves more,

192
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 3: but the team is worse, even though they're paying more

193
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 3: than the Bulls do for their things. So there are

194
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 3: different ways to do it, and you still can end

195
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 3: up in the play in tournament. It's all about the players,

196
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 3: and I think that's more of the Balls front office

197
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 3: st is he trying to stick around for a long time.

198
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 3: They're drafting everybody that's nineteen years old. Just wait on

199
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 3: this guy, Just wait to see how good a Sea

200
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 3: can be. It's only going to take five years. You

201
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 3: can't fire me until we see what he's gonna be.

202
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 3: So uh yeah, it definitely feels like some dominoes are

203
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 3: lining up from a job security standpoint, But if you

204
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 3: get in with the bulls, you're good for a long time.

205
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, a lot of stability with that contract. Donovan is

206
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 4: the third longest tenured coach in the NBA. I guess

207
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 4: he's tied with Mark Dagnall and tylu in terms of

208
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 4: like hiring around the same time in twenty twenty. Summer

209
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,439
Speaker 4: of twenty twenty, the only coaches with their current teams

210
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 4: longer Eric Spolster with Miami, Steve Kerr with Golden State,

211
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 4: and then those other three guys and Dagnall champion Tyleru

212
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 4: does have a title obviously not with the Clippers, and

213
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 4: then Billy Donovan.

214
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 3: Right, So, I mean two of the three haven't won anything,

215
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 3: that's right. Mark Dagnold's good though.

216
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 2: That's right. He just got there. He just got there.

217
00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 2: It's it's just it's crazy.

218
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 4: It is crazy that he's had one playoff victory and

219
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 4: then yeah, you've got to play in games and generally

220
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,559
Speaker 4: come up short in those two in one or done

221
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 4: if they play the heat. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, anything

222
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 4: else on Billy Boy.

223
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 1: That's who they are, right yeah.

224
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 2: And they're gonna keep selling out the place. I assume, yeah, it's.

225
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 1: Gonna sold out, but it's never really, it's not that

226
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 1: it's not packed. Come on, no, I haven't. But you

227
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 1: said the exact same thing two months ago when they weren't.

228
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 3: They weren't playing two months ago.

229
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 1: Oh okay man, two months ago, No, no, three, I

230
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 1: excuse me for my two months when they were in

231
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: the in season or a play in tournament. You you

232
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 1: said they were not they were not buzzing. They're not,

233
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: they're not.

234
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, they lost that game by thirty. Once again,

235
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 3: they did lose another game by thirty. That's the thing.

236
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 3: The Bolls team is not good, Like, look at all

237
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 3: of these teams in the play in tournament. If their

238
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 3: team is bad, the fans aren't that enthusiastic.

239
00:10:58,080 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 2: Hawks.

240
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 3: It's not loud down at the Hawks Arena. It ain't

241
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 3: loud in the Raptors. We're talking about them not showing

242
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:04,839
Speaker 3: up at the beginning of the third quarter every single

243
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 3: time we watch. The Wizards have no fans, right Like,

244
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 3: if your team is mid they're not going to be loud,

245
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:10,680
Speaker 3: but they sell out.

246
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 1: I don't think they sell out even if the attendance numbers.

247
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,319
Speaker 1: That's that's the bigger thing. We have to know what

248
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 1: these attendance numbers mean, what they are, how they get there,

249
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,680
Speaker 1: Like they literally could be a bunch of corporate.

250
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 4: Now they do have a huge stadium too, make a

251
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 4: stadium in the NBA, so I'm sure that comes into play.

252
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,319
Speaker 3: But percentage wise, they are still selling out. And I

253
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 3: mean they're a massive brand. That's the thing with the

254
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 3: Bulls as they operate like they are a small market franchise.

255
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 3: When they are a massive, massive brand that does sell out,

256
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 3: they should be better. They should be operating like teams

257
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 3: like the Knicks and the Lakers will be even the

258
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 3: Clippers like use their market size to their advantage, and

259
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 3: the Balls don't do that. They have a fan base

260
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 3: that's built in ready for the team, that supports the

261
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 3: team no matter what. Even if they keep winning thirty

262
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 3: eight games a year, they still sell out. That's the

263
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 3: problem is that they're still there and it's like, Okay,

264
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 3: here's how you boycott the team. Good luck getting everybody

265
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 3: in Chicago on board with that. It's not happening or

266
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,719
Speaker 3: the world. I mean, they're such a huge brand. They

267
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 3: are a corporate sell, that's for sure. I would love

268
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 3: to see every.

269
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: Single seat on camera to see how many people actually

270
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 1: walk into that arena. It's so dead quiet a lot

271
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: of the time, because yeah, they are mediocre, but it

272
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 1: is sold to corporations, really, to companies. Really, it's super quiet.

273
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,680
Speaker 4: Next headline here, guys, tell me whether or not it's newsworthy.

274
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 4: From Scham's Jonathan Kaminga in no rush to accept a

275
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 4: Warrior's contract offer.

276
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 2: Is this news?

277
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 1: Well, this is news for Kaminga. This is the absolute

278
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: worst time to be a restricted free agent in a

279
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: history of restricted free agency since the inception. Nobody signs them.

280
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 1: There's a few reasons for that. No team has salary

281
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 1: cap room, No team really goes about this to sign

282
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 1: restricted free agents. They would rather A lot of players

283
00:12:56,080 --> 00:13:00,200
Speaker 1: would rather just sign with their original teams, which makes

284
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 1: a lot of sense because they make so much money

285
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 1: that way, and so that's happening. Combined with the fact

286
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,079
Speaker 1: that teams are learning what the CBA rules are right now,

287
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 1: there are just no offers for these restricted free agents.

288
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 1: In general. We can go down the list we mentioned

289
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 1: Josh gitty, you go to Cam Thomas. It keeps going

290
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,959
Speaker 1: so quin grime. So this is a terrible time for

291
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,679
Speaker 1: Jonathan Aminga. So yeah, this is news for Jonathan Kaminga.

292
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 1: It can go both ways. I mean, he got a

293
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 1: seven point nine million dollar offer from the Golden State

294
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,719
Speaker 1: Warriors for one year. That is his qualifying offer. Will

295
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 1: he go back there for that number? I think there

296
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,679
Speaker 1: is a possibility of that because these other teams that

297
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 1: are reportedly going to assign him to something a little bigger,

298
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 1: whether it's the Suns or the Kings, it ain't gonna

299
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: be all that much. It won't be much longer, I

300
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:55,079
Speaker 1: don't think either. So there's that, But there's also him

301
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: wanting to play more rather than go back to the

302
00:13:57,800 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: Golden State Warriors where he will just be part of

303
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,079
Speaker 1: this rotation. And if we're injured in we need you,

304
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 1: or there's foul trouble and we need you to score

305
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 1: like you did in that series against the Minnesota Timberwolves,

306
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 1: like he did very admirably four straight games, then we'll

307
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 1: use you. But I can understand him going to another direction.

308
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 1: I could go both ways on whether or not he'll

309
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: come back, because you could see the gold State Wars

310
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: just saying, all right, go ahead, go take that two

311
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 1: million dollars off or two year offer excuse me, from

312
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: the Sacramento Kings for a little bit more. They'll get

313
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 1: something back in sign and trade, and then they go

314
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: sign Gary Payton the second bring him back, Al Horford,

315
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: the Anthony Melton, and Seth Curry. Those will be the

316
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: names that come to them and that's the end of

317
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 1: their rotation. I could see that happening. I would probably

318
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 1: lean towards that. But Jonathan ming Ainka to get a lot.

319
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: I mean, you could see restricted free agency the last

320
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 1: Now it's since two thousand and one, so this is

321
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: gonna be like the twenty fifth time. This is literally

322
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: the worst time, especially with the new CBA. That's the

323
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 1: biggest thing going on right now.

324
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess the new news from this headline with Kamingus.

325
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 4: We talked a lot about Kaminga, obviously his free agency

326
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 4: over the last couple of months, but the Warriors front

327
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 4: office showed an extra level of motivation last week, according

328
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 4: to Shaan's in conversations with Kaminga's agent, delivering what they

329
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 4: believe is a fair offer to bring back Kaminga. But

330
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 4: Kaminga hasn't found anything they presented appealing. Pulling direct quote

331
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 4: there from Sham's that's how we put it. So it's like,

332
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 4: what are they offering? What does that deal look like.

333
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 4: I'm fascinated by that because we've also had reports where

334
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 4: Kaminga and his team like they want up to like

335
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 4: thirty million per year. You got to assume the Warriors

336
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 4: are obviously not anywhere close to that.

337
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 3: Tray mark Stein reported that the Warriors offered two years

338
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 3: forty million dollars.

339
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, so that's a big gap.

340
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 4: If you want thirty million and they're giving you an

341
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 4: average annual salary about twenty million.

342
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 3: And really short contract. Two years is pretty tight, which

343
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 3: means the Warriors, if you just look at their salary

344
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 3: caps sheet, you can tell they're trying to stay clear

345
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 3: for twenty twenty seven. They are very nervous about having

346
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 3: anything gone post Steph Curry. They haven't traded any of

347
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 3: their picks after theoretically Curry would be retired or anything

348
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 3: like that. And if they're really trying to make a

349
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 3: go of things during the last years of Steph Curry's career,

350
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 3: they would be trading those guys. But they're not. They're

351
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 3: still trying to do their two timelines thing. I don't

352
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 3: know if I think this is news, because the headline

353
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 3: is this guy's in no rush to accept their offers.

354
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 3: Free agency started four weeks ago. I think it's pretty

355
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 3: obvious that the deals just aren't out there for Kaminga.

356
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 3: It's like, basically, the Kings are interested right now because

357
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 3: they are the Kings. So I think you can at

358
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 3: least tell Jonathan Kiminga you're gonna be planning California this year.

359
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 3: The Bulls are another team that he's been rumored to

360
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 3: be attached to. It seems hard for them to get

361
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 3: him just because of the trade pieces going back. But

362
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 3: what it feels like is the Warriors want to find

363
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 3: a way for Kaminga to stay at about twenty five

364
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 3: million dollars, which allows them to keep a twenty five

365
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 3: million dollar tradable salary slot around. I think that's a

366
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 3: huge piece of this that Fred Katz is mentioning over

367
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 3: at the Athletic. The Warriors don't have like that middle

368
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 3: of the road salary to throw into a trade like

369
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 3: they did with Andrew Wiggins for Jimmy Butler last year.

370
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 3: You need to kind of grease the wheels to get

371
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 3: these deals done. Also, if it's like right under twenty

372
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,640
Speaker 3: five million, I think they still can offer Al Horford

373
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 3: the tax payer mid level, which is like he's on

374
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 3: deck for that. But the Warriors really need to figure

375
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 3: out what's going on with Kminga so they can know

376
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 3: how much to offer Horford because right now a team

377
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 3: could swoop in and maybe woo Al Horford, and that's

378
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,640
Speaker 3: like the number one target for Golden State. They haven't

379
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 3: made a move thus far, So if they lose out

380
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 3: on Horford and end up with Kaminga coming back on

381
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:31,119
Speaker 3: a qualifying offer, it's the most awkward possible result for

382
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 3: Golden State. And I don't think it's something they want

383
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 3: going forward with this team because they clearly don't want

384
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 3: Kaminga on the team. If they did, they would have

385
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,400
Speaker 3: paid him last summer or right now if they really

386
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 3: wanted to keep him around. They just want him as

387
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 3: an asset, and they're figuring out a way to not

388
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 3: lose the asset. Whereas Minga's like, I want to play

389
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 3: basketball for some sort of team. There's just no deals

390
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 3: out there for him, So tough timing on his behalf

391
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 3: maybe he takes that little tiny deal, makes it awkward

392
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 3: in Golden State, balls out and gets overpaid summer.

393
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 4: I don't know, right, he has until I think October

394
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 4: first to accept the standing one year, seven point nine

395
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 4: million dollar offer that the Warriors can no longer rescind

396
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,920
Speaker 4: like it's up to Kaminga on that decision. But yeah,

397
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 4: whether the Kings, the Suns, the Bulls, another team can

398
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 4: get into a sign and trade and make that work.

399
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,199
Speaker 4: It is funny that the Warriors have done nothing, and

400
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 4: a big reason is because of this Kaminga, you know,

401
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 4: sort of staring contests like.

402
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 2: They have done nothing.

403
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,880
Speaker 4: They have not signed or traded a player at all

404
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:29,239
Speaker 4: this summer, and they obviously still have things to do

405
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 4: with that roster and they're still trying to compete for

406
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 4: a title after the big.

407
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 2: Jimmy Bowler move.

408
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 4: So it's it's very weird here where we are with cominga.

409
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 4: But this could go on for months still.

410
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: Test Yeah, it feels like big Al is destined for

411
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 1: Golden State. Well, yes, I agree, being yeah, if it

412
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 1: would feel like if someone was going to swoop in,

413
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 1: it would have happened by now, because it's late July

414
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: and it's Al Horford. I know he's old, but he

415
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 1: could be a guy who comes off your bench and

416
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:57,399
Speaker 1: helps you win a quarter in a playoff game. That

417
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 1: is for sure. It's Al Horford that would just seem

418
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 1: to me to be the guy that's going to fill

419
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,879
Speaker 1: out this roster, because yes, they do want to go

420
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 1: after the title, but they are pay guys the big

421
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 1: amount and it seems like they're going to be the

422
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,439
Speaker 1: guys that pay a little mountain have no middle of

423
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:17,880
Speaker 1: the road guys in terms of just numbers.

424
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 4: He's just also, I mean, the money is a very

425
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 4: important part of this, don't get me wrong, but there

426
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 4: is that whole element of like how he feels about State, yeah,

427
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 4: well kaminga, how he feels about Steve Kerr and Kerr's

428
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 4: thoughts on him and how he uses them like that

429
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,199
Speaker 4: is a part of this, no doubt as well, Like

430
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,879
Speaker 4: he seems offended, like he was not in the rotation

431
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 4: in the first round, yeah against the Rockets and then yeah,

432
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:42,239
Speaker 4: you're right, then they had to go to him when

433
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 4: everybody got injuried, like, and he played pretty well.

434
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 2: Like, so he's.

435
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,120
Speaker 4: Obviously like you know, he thinks like he's he thinks

436
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 4: he's a star. They maybe don't believe that he has

437
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 4: a lot of shortcomings as a player and maybe doesn't

438
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 4: want to work on those elements that they really need

439
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 4: from a guy out there around superstars like Curry and

440
00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 4: Butler and obviously Draymond is sort of connector. But it's

441
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:02,200
Speaker 4: a weird situation. I don't know what's going to happen.

442
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,200
Speaker 4: I guess I think if I'm betting he like, yeah,

443
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 4: he feels like he'll end up on the Kings in

444
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:08,360
Speaker 4: some sort of I don't know who it. I don't

445
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 4: know who's coming back.

446
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:13,680
Speaker 2: Uh in that scenario, Moody.

447
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 3: Like Warriors fans really want ke On Ellis, which would

448
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 3: be an awesome fit for them.

449
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll see. We'll see Anthony Malcolm's going to try

450
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,679
Speaker 1: and be the the ke On Ellis. We'll see if

451
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 1: he comes back healthy. But it's just a tough on.

452
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 3: Delay I think right like them has to wait until.

453
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 1: Kaminga And yeah.

454
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:34,439
Speaker 2: You can't enjoy their summer, these guys.

455
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:36,400
Speaker 3: What's that Horriford doing right now?

456
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 2: Exactly?

457
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 4: Well, somebody who is enjoying their summer is uh this

458
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 4: guy man ESPs this. This headline was everywhere in the

459
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 4: last couple of days, Nicola Jokic emotionally celebrates after his

460
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 4: horse winds race. That is a late July headline for you,

461
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:55,879
Speaker 4: tk Is this news?

462
00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:00,639
Speaker 3: No? No, no is Yeah. I know I thought he

463
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 3: was talking a horse. Literally thought he was talking a horse.

464
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 3: But there's a little jockey back. But I mean, I

465
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:11,160
Speaker 3: wouldn't say this is news. Maybe it's a little bit

466
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 3: of news. How much he loves his horse.

467
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:14,440
Speaker 1: It's amazing.

468
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:16,199
Speaker 3: You think he got his horse drunk. I thought he

469
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 3: was like spray champagne all over it. Like he probably

470
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 3: hangs out with his horse as a buddy.

471
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:22,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, not just.

472
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:26,679
Speaker 3: As a as a riding beast. You know, he probably

473
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 3: just like, hey, we're going out to the bar.

474
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 1: You're coming with you won? Yeah? Yeah, it's funny you speak.

475
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:33,920
Speaker 2: Of the long face, said the bartender.

476
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:35,880
Speaker 1: It's funny to speak of go out to a bar

477
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 1: because I'm reading Mike Fingers book on Nikola Jokic, who

478
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: has an incredible upbringing with horses. This guy just love

479
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 1: horses when he was a kid. Mike finger went to

480
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:51,159
Speaker 1: Serbia to be with Jokic and his family and to

481
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 1: be with his horses. Just to hear not not so much,

482
00:21:55,200 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 1: but with the horses. But to hear about that Mike Hooves,

483
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 1: I'm glad to hear he's recovered after that Charlie biting incident.

484
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 1: This guy will hug horses. Even when guys were practicing

485
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:13,880
Speaker 1: basketball around on a track, they'd run on the track

486
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 1: and he would just be within on the grass, within

487
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:18,919
Speaker 1: the track, just hugging horses, being with horses. He's like,

488
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 1: you guys, go play what you run, gotta do what

489
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,360
Speaker 1: you do for basketball. I'm just gonna be with my horses.

490
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,680
Speaker 1: This guy absolutely loves him. They are his friends, and

491
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 1: he would go to bars with his friends, but he'd

492
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 1: rather just be with horses. This guy just loves them.

493
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 4: Everybody comparing his reaction to winning a horse race to

494
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 4: him actually winning an NBA championship, but how different it is, Like,

495
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 4: you know, him popping the champagne bottle when he won

496
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,119
Speaker 4: the title was like half assed. He's like, basically just

497
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 4: wanted to get the hell out of there to go

498
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,200
Speaker 4: be with his horses. And then he wins this big

499
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:52,879
Speaker 4: race I guess in Serbia, and obviously he is jumping

500
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:57,640
Speaker 4: the barrier and he's hugging horses, hugging jockeys, he's splaying Champagne,

501
00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 4: he's crying. I mean, he's emotionally happy over this win. So, yes,

502
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:05,439
Speaker 4: this seems more important to your kitch at least, you know,

503
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 4: in the pecking order of things.

504
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 2: And that's fine.

505
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 4: It's just amazing that he's one of the he is

506
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,920
Speaker 4: the greatest basketball player currently in the world. And it's

507
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 4: like he could care less because he likes this way more. Yeah,

508
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 4: he's more proud of his child. But his child is

509
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 4: a horse. I actually start to feel like almost sad

510
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,199
Speaker 4: for yo kitchen a way, because this guy loves horses.

511
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 4: He loves horse racing. But like, God made this man

512
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 4: six eleven two d and eighty five pounds, Like it's

513
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,880
Speaker 4: the worst size for a human that loves horses.

514
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:39,399
Speaker 2: You can make someone he's like five foot tall one

515
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 2: hundred and.

516
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 4: Fifteen pounds, like probably Max, and this guy's two feet

517
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 4: taller and like three times the weight.

518
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 3: It's like, do you think he's proud though, that he's

519
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 3: closer in size to the horse than he is jockey?

520
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, And maybe that's horses respect him and they run

521
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:57,479
Speaker 4: faster for them because they're like he's basically a human horse.

522
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 4: Maybe basically, But it's amazing. It's it's it's heartwarming, but

523
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:05,159
Speaker 4: it's also sad, you know what I mean. It's like

524
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 4: that guy would love to be a jockey. It feels

525
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:07,719
Speaker 4: like more than anything.

526
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 3: It's like he never can me. You never can.

527
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:15,400
Speaker 4: You could like literally, you'd have to divide yo kitchen

528
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 4: into like three people and then you'd have three.

529
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 3: Jockeys one place and show how about three jockeys riding.

530
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 3: But it's Yo kich his and his two brothers.

531
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 2: Oh god, it's amazing.

532
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 4: It's like in the movie Barbie. Then you have the

533
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:37,399
Speaker 4: famous line. Ken has the famous line, my job is

534
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 4: just beach. That's right, that's that's Yo kitch, except my

535
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:44,160
Speaker 4: job is just horse.

536
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 2: Guy loves it.

537
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 1: God bless him.

538
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,120
Speaker 2: Congrats on the big win. Like what did you? How much?

539
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,640
Speaker 2: Like how much money did he win? I know it's

540
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:52,440
Speaker 2: not about the money.

541
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:58,360
Speaker 3: For him, it's the horse. Does his horse have a name?

542
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's that one was called it's called Demon something. Okay, Yeah,

543
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 4: I forget.

544
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:06,439
Speaker 1: The second part. Ken said my name, my job is

545
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 1: just beach. That's what he said, shouldn't you say? But

546
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 1: he doesn't like the beach.

547
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 4: Where he Ken loves the beach. He's not a lifeguard.

548
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 4: He's not really a surfer. He's just my life is beach.

549
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:22,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, because but horse.

550
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, although it's not really I mean, it's one of

551
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 4: his jobs.

552
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 1: He has a professional basketball Yeah. That's why I asked

553
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 1: about ken is because I see him saying my life

554
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 1: is just basketball and being disappointed, sad, you know, because

555
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:37,919
Speaker 1: he's so good at it. There's a great line in

556
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 1: the in the book where he says, uh, people are

557
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 1: asking him, you know, about basketball and all that, but

558
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 1: he's like, why would I go play basketball when I'm

559
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:48,880
Speaker 1: already the best at it? He literally says that when

560
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 1: he's a kid, why do I go? Why do I

561
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 1: got to practice when I'm already That's great, he's right,

562
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:57,199
Speaker 1: he's right, But he just wants to be with this

563
00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 1: horse who now they're the best. I guess. I guess

564
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 1: how many does he own?

565
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:02,639
Speaker 2: Well, I'm saying I have asume tons.

566
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:03,879
Speaker 1: Yeah many.

567
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:08,880
Speaker 3: Some of his horse's names include Breno, Lamar, Amy Del Duomo,

568
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 3: and dream Catcher. I have a feeling the first two

569
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 3: are slop that I'm being fed here. It's not like horse.

570
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 1: Names Lamar lamar odom family.

571
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 4: That doesn't make sense at all all right, Let's move

572
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 4: on here to our next headline from Mark Stein. Lakers

573
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:29,399
Speaker 4: believed to prefer to let Lebron James leave after the

574
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 4: twenty five to twenty sixth season.

575
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 2: Is this news from Mark Stein?

576
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:39,440
Speaker 1: Ah? Yeah, fine, yes, finance news. I think Lebron is

577
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:43,440
Speaker 1: definitely keeping everything open after this season. It feels really

578
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,679
Speaker 1: weird to say that, but it does feel like we're

579
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 1: at a point here where he will move on from

580
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Akers after this coming season. I always

581
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 1: thought it would be a numerical palindrome for the seasons

582
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 1: that he played, because he started with seven with the

583
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 1: Cavs and four with the Heat, four or back with Cleveland.

584
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 1: Then I thought he would end it after seven with

585
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,920
Speaker 1: the Lakers. But this is eight going into Los Angeles

586
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:10,879
Speaker 1: here coming this coming season, and and then he's just

587
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,199
Speaker 1: gonna go somewhere else. It feels that way. He was

588
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:17,680
Speaker 1: hanging out with Jokic's agent's agent.

589
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:20,120
Speaker 2: Who's or somehow.

590
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:23,159
Speaker 3: Lebron was catching out. He's like, I'm about a I'm

591
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 3: at a big jockeys league.

592
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:32,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel maybe maybe he's looking at big big jockey.

593
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 1: Lebron's sitting on a horse.

594
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 2: Lebron on a horse.

595
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 3: I don't think we've seen him do like basically everything

596
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 3: else life. Maybe that's what he's trying to do.

597
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:44,199
Speaker 1: Here, But it would it be surprising for a Lebron

598
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 1: to go pair with I'm not saying he's going to Denver,

599
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 1: but something like that, where he's he's broadening his the horizons.

600
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna play with the European maybe he's going, yeah,

601
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 1: but but the best of the best of the best,

602
00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:59,639
Speaker 1: like somebody else maybeyeah. I know Luca Is is European,

603
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 1: but just change it up with Jokic. Yeah, I wouldn't

604
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 1: wouldn't surprise me that he would leave the Los Angeles

605
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 1: Lakers and.

606
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 4: From the Lakers side of this, because that's the headline

607
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 4: that this is like their widely preferred scenario, just to

608
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,879
Speaker 4: like let him obviously sort of expire his contract to end,

609
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 4: and then he could elect to go wherever he wants

610
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 4: if he so chooses. Because it's sounding like Lebron is

611
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,360
Speaker 4: going to play after this, that's what you like. It's

612
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 4: not going to be sort of a one and done

613
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:26,680
Speaker 4: or a final year there in LA. He's going to

614
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:28,880
Speaker 4: continue and maybe get to that magical number twenty five

615
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 4: that will impress Tray Kirby.

616
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:32,400
Speaker 3: That's a good number. It's a really good number because

617
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 3: I think he's passing Vince Carter this season right to

618
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 3: be the most played. Twenty five is like a cool

619
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 3: even number. Twenty three would have been perfect. You know,

620
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 3: maybe he does decide to retire after this year. War

621
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 3: twenty three for a lot of this career, but things

622
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 3: are definitely weird in Los Angeles. Trading for Luka Dancic

623
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 3: turned out to be equivalent to n SYNC releasing Gone.

624
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 3: You're like, man, this is a banger song, but wait

625
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 3: a second, this is a Justin Timberlake solo song released

626
00:28:56,640 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 3: by n SYNC. Is Justin going solo. Guess what he did?

627
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 3: This trade turns out to be Luka Doncic is the

628
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 3: head of the Lakers. He is the solo act for

629
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 3: the Lakers right now. And Lebron sorry, you've been just

630
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 3: in your entire career. Now you are j C. Shase

631
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 3: Ooh hey man, Jac dropped the first post and Sync

632
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 3: solo single. It wasn't good, but he did do it.

633
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 3: I'm just saying he has lost his status within his

634
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 3: own group, just like JC did, and now Lebron is

635
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 3: trying to have to figure out where he goes after

636
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 3: the Lakers, because it's not going to be there. They're

637
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 3: tilting towards a younger team. A fifty million dollar contract

638
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 3: for a guy who is twenty three years into his

639
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 3: NBA career doesn't seem like something that the Lakers are

640
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 3: super interested in. That being said, I do think that

641
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 3: Lebron's best chance at a championship is sticking around with

642
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 3: LA for this year. Luka Doncic looks great. He's on

643
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 3: a new workout routine. He only eats six hours a day,

644
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 3: the other eighteen completely fasting, doesn't have a single calorie.

645
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 3: The Lakers won fifty games last year. I picked them

646
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 3: to beat the Timberwolves in the first round. They got

647
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 3: completely smashed. Didn't have happened, but they were at least

648
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 3: a competitive team. They've gotten better this off season, I

649
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 3: do believe, just because at the end of last year

650
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 3: they had five players. So it doesn't make sense for

651
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 3: Lebron to go anywhere else this season. But I do

652
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 3: think he'll be somewhere else next season.

653
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 2: And even Stein wrote it all depends on how this

654
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:15,480
Speaker 2: coming season goes.

655
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 1: For everything, they're gonna try and be good. Yes, yes,

656
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 1: they should be. Yeah, they should be. They've got Luca.

657
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 1: How do you guys all feel about the pictures of

658
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 1: him on the front cover? Is he ripped with that

659
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 1: low angle camera? Obviously he's gonna look better. It's difficult

660
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 1: to really buy into every single muscle on his body

661
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 1: after it's been photoshopped a little better, I mean he

662
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 1: looks better. Yeah, he's working out, no carbs, no sugars,

663
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 1: just pumping it. Yeah, he looks better. They are better.

664
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 1: They're lighter. Gave Vincent shaved his face super light. Now

665
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 1: he's a lighter. Yeah, yeah, he looks he looks Wow,

666
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 1: he looks totally different. Wow, he looks like a different man.

667
00:30:56,480 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 4: He's in Men's health too, not ripped. Vincent on a

668
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 4: clean shape with Luke eighty five, get him in there.

669
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:10,720
Speaker 3: Wow, okay, actually throw off different, a different guy.

670
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, obviously Luca's gonna look better. He's literally holding

671
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 1: a dumbbell while he's working out, so it's a.

672
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:22,360
Speaker 4: Revenge body, that's what he's doing here. He's like, screw

673
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 4: you MAVs. Screw you Nico Harrison. You literally called me

674
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 4: fat when you shifted me out. Show you you do

675
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 4: a lot of wonders with the photoshops and these photos

676
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 4: and all that.

677
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 1: But I believe Sasha Baron Cohen wrecked.

678
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:39,200
Speaker 4: I believe the diet talk though, and like him actually

679
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 4: committing to a real off season where instead he's smoking

680
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 4: the hookah off season, he's like in the gym or

681
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 4: at least the diet and stuff like that.

682
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's scary for that.

683
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 1: Yes, you see him in those all those Jordan photos

684
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 1: where he had to jump man visit with with all

685
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 1: the guys, all all the Jordan guys. I don't think

686
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 1: he had an alcohol beverage in his hand. Everybody else did.

687
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 1: I'm sure if you like Jess Simms did the great

688
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 1: chest up, I think she did. Anyways, they did a

689
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 1: cheers anyways, there's that part. But then he goes on

690
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 1: the I think he was on the Yankees broadcast. He

691
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 1: just looks like normal Luca when you just have a

692
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 1: normal camera in front of him, he just he just

693
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 1: looks like Luca. But anyway he works out. He doesn't

694
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 1: have a better vertical as as was said in that

695
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 1: was that the.

696
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 4: Vertigo at the combine, right, That's what was said, which

697
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 4: he wasn't at. I think that was I think, uh, hey,

698
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 4: I got the writer there. I think they've corrected that,

699
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 4: or at least for.

700
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 1: It they removed it. Yeah, that was a Gemini Google Gemini.

701
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 2: So you're not you're not as convinced that he's gonna because.

702
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 1: He's gonna be really good. He's Luca Dntrees.

703
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 4: Well, we're going to see him at the EuroBasket and

704
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 4: theory be amazing.

705
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 1: He's gonna. Yeah, he's going to be incredible leading into

706
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 1: next season. It's easy to forget that he was injured

707
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 1: for a long time last year with the mass.

708
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 4: Are you saying, Luka, don't you is going to be

709
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 4: an MVP favorite heading into the season for the what

710
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 4: fifth sixth year?

711
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 1: Oh?

712
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, maybe this is the year. Maybe this is

713
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 3: the I've seen him look repped after going to Slovenia

714
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 3: for a summer.

715
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:12,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, he has.

716
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 3: He has come into season in shape before.

717
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 4: And I don't want to gloss over this because you

718
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 4: mentioned it. Jokich's agent did post to Instagram a not

719
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 4: so subtle post of himself on a yacht with Lebron

720
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 4: James and his longtime business partner Maverick Carter, and the

721
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 4: caption read quote the summer of twenty twenty five is

722
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 4: the perfect time to make big plans for the fall

723
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 4: of twenty twenty six.

724
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 1: End quote.

725
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 2: That could be the Big Jockey League coming.

726
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 7: BJAIL, but it could but it could be something else

727
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 7: TK Like I don't know, Like Lebron does not have

728
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 7: anything released or anything posted without like it's always a

729
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 7: calculated move by so what.

730
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 2: I don't know what you took from this.

731
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 3: I don't think he's planning in Denver ever. Okay, I

732
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 3: don't know what it means. Maybe Lebron and Maverick are

733
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:02,959
Speaker 3: talking about their future league that's going to apparently challenge

734
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 3: the NBA. Maybe this is somehow involved with like the

735
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 3: NBA's for a into euro League Basketball as well. But

736
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 3: Lebron Rich, Paul, Maverick, Carter, they are power players in

737
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:20,840
Speaker 3: the NBA, as is nicolea Jokic's agent. So something interesting

738
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 3: is going to happen. I don't necessarily think it means

739
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:25,239
Speaker 3: that Lebron is gonna end up his career playing for

740
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:28,359
Speaker 3: the Nuggets. That seems pretty unlikely to me that he's

741
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:34,400
Speaker 3: be rocking number twenty three there. But something's going to

742
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:37,839
Speaker 3: change between this season and next season. Uh So we

743
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 3: shall see what it.

744
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:43,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, I couldn't stop looking at Lebron's nearly as foot

745
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:43,880
Speaker 4: in that photos.

746
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:44,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, weird.

747
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:46,759
Speaker 2: He's got that one toe that like goes over all

748
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:47,720
Speaker 2: the top of the other toes.

749
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:49,359
Speaker 1: I didn't remember we had.

750
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:51,919
Speaker 4: That big debate whether he had a sixth toe. It's

751
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 4: all mashed at the end.

752
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:54,360
Speaker 1: Anyway.

753
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 4: He had a big foot up on the yacht. Can't

754
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:58,239
Speaker 4: wear boats or sorry shoes on the boat, so it

755
00:34:58,320 --> 00:34:58,759
Speaker 4: makes sense.

756
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:02,800
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's usually he has a hand in every

757
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:06,320
Speaker 1: single thing. It's odd to have a photo right in

758
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:08,759
Speaker 1: front of his feet. That's where the photo is.

759
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:11,799
Speaker 4: Like I thought you were gonna say, you said, usually

760
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 4: has a hand in every little thing.

761
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 1: I was just looking at his glasses. He's got those

762
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 1: thin framed glasses, those stylish glasses that he's never worned.

763
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:24,920
Speaker 1: But I do agree there's something European. It feels like

764
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 1: like he owns a part of a soccer team. There's

765
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 1: the talk about him owning it, obviously the Las Vegas

766
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:34,400
Speaker 1: expansion team, if that ever happens. Yeah, could it be

767
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:38,280
Speaker 1: the NBA's for into Europe and him having a part

768
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:42,480
Speaker 1: of that. I don't know what Mishko Ornodovitch has anything

769
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 1: to do with that at all, but he's keeping things open.

770
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 1: The guy is always always thinking.

771
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:51,400
Speaker 4: Lebron is either teaming up with Jokich down the line,

772
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:53,799
Speaker 4: or he's buying a horse, could be buying a horse,

773
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 4: getting in a horse game. Next headline Hero Sporting News,

00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:02,360
Speaker 4: Nick's not extending kel bridges until one d and seventy

775
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 4: five million dollars Star has situation settled. I'll tell you

776
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 4: right now. That's one hundred and seventy five million dollars Star.

777
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 2: That's honest.

778
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 4: I don't know why they didn't put on the headline there,

779
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 4: but that's who they're talking about. This idea that the

780
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 4: Knicks are not going to extend bridges because that would

781
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:23,240
Speaker 4: then make him maybe not be able to be included

782
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:25,800
Speaker 4: in a trade if you, honest, were to become available

783
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 4: and the Bucks were to move off of him and

784
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 4: the Knicks could put together a package.

785
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:30,240
Speaker 2: Is this news tak.

786
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 3: Medium news? I would say, and that the takeaway from

787
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 3: me is that nobody in the NBA is convinced that

788
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:41,840
Speaker 3: the Yannis thing is over in Milwaukee, and that waiting

789
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:45,400
Speaker 3: to see what Janis's ultimate decision is going to be

790
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:47,880
Speaker 3: will continue to be one of the main narratives for

791
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:51,120
Speaker 3: the NBA for the rest of this season, depending on

792
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:53,880
Speaker 3: how things go into next season, even into the twenty

793
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:57,160
Speaker 3: twenty eight season, when Jannis Antetokumpo has a player option

794
00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:00,879
Speaker 3: his last year the deal in Milwaukee, Jannis has never

795
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:03,839
Speaker 3: made an actual trade request, right, It's more like, show

796
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:05,759
Speaker 3: me you're still committed to winning, and I'm going to

797
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 3: be here, still committed to winning. The Bucks at the

798
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:11,440
Speaker 3: very least have shown they're still committed to winning, waving

799
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:13,879
Speaker 3: Dame Lillard and bringing in Miles Turner. At the very least,

800
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:16,959
Speaker 3: you're saying, we're using our fifty million dollars salary slot

801
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 3: for a guy who can at least play somebody you

802
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:20,799
Speaker 3: think matches up well who you wanted to be here.

803
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:23,239
Speaker 3: So I think that's interesting. But Ian Begley says in

804
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:26,800
Speaker 3: this piece, when McHale Bridges does extend, I think that

805
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:29,239
Speaker 3: would tell you Yannis is put to bed. So I'll

806
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 3: be watching to see if Michale Bridges signs a deal,

807
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:34,120
Speaker 3: because you're right, whoever trades for him would rather have

808
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 3: the option of paying him whatever they want or not

809
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:38,800
Speaker 3: paying him whatever they want, And maybe it makes it

810
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:41,360
Speaker 3: easier for him to fit into a deal. But teams

811
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 3: like the Knicks. Obviously, I think the Warriors are a

812
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 3: big time Yannis monitoring team, and then the Hawks have

813
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:48,480
Speaker 3: to be as well, since they have so much of

814
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,440
Speaker 3: what Milwaukee has traded away that it would make sense

815
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:52,880
Speaker 3: for the Bucks to get their picks back if they

816
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 3: ever do stuff like that. But until the Bucks start

817
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:59,200
Speaker 3: playing basketball and we see some results, whether good or bad,

818
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 3: we're not going to hear the last of Giannis and

819
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:04,880
Speaker 3: where his next team might be Milwaukee or otherwise.

820
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 4: Right, Bridges is eligible to sign a four year, one

821
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:08,960
Speaker 4: hundred and fifty six dollars one hundred and fifty six

822
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 4: million dollars MAX deal with the Knicks, and that's been

823
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 4: that way since the Finals ended. Yeah, and again, if

824
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:18,120
Speaker 4: you do extend him, then he's ineligible to be traded

825
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 4: for six months. Again, that's part of maybe the whole

826
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 4: waiting on Yannis decision or waiting for the start of

827
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:23,920
Speaker 4: the season.

828
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:25,719
Speaker 1: But what do you think, Well, this isn't news. This

829
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:28,719
Speaker 1: is just pointing out the obvious that they can't just

830
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:30,399
Speaker 1: go say, hey, we're going to pay a fourth guy

831
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:33,480
Speaker 1: here and we're going to be medocre. They just don't

832
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:34,960
Speaker 1: know how good they're going to be in twenty six

833
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:37,200
Speaker 1: to twenty seven. So not this season, but the next season.

834
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:41,359
Speaker 1: They're already paying three guys monster deals. Cat's making fifty seven,

835
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:46,280
Speaker 1: OG's making forty two, Jalens making thirty eight. Deal. Great deal, great,

836
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:50,360
Speaker 1: great deal. That being said, I understand why they're not

837
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 1: giving mckil bridges a ton of money. They don't know

838
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 1: what they're going to be this next coming season. Was

839
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:59,719
Speaker 1: that a bit of luck going to the conference final? No,

840
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:02,719
Speaker 1: they were great, but it still makes sense to keep

841
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 1: the table open. Yeah, they gave up a ton to

842
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:08,360
Speaker 1: get mckel bridges all those draft picks, but this is,

843
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:10,799
Speaker 1: you know, a bit of a sunk cost thing. They

844
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 1: can't just say, hey, Michel, we're gonna sign you to

845
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 1: this long term deal and we're just gonna be a

846
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:14,759
Speaker 1: mediocre team.

847
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:18,959
Speaker 3: So I think that that's a media team.

848
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 4: And in the conference this coming season, they're going to

849
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:23,640
Speaker 4: be You're gonna see everybody have them as a top

850
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:25,759
Speaker 4: three team, no doubt, maybe top two.

851
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 1: Sure, right, they're they're better than a mediocre team. But

852
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:32,919
Speaker 1: they just won was it fifty wins this this coming

853
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 1: this past season? It was a fifty one. Yeah, So

854
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 1: them having one hundred and seventy three million tied up

855
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:41,799
Speaker 1: in twenty six twenty seven, along with Josh Hart who

856
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 1: they've got signed. It's one hundred seventy three million. Are

857
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 1: you just gonna go pay mckel Bridges to, Hey, we're

858
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:49,359
Speaker 1: gonna win another fifty wins the next couple of years.

859
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:52,680
Speaker 1: I don't think that the Conference finals appearance was luck,

860
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 1: but it just makes sense not to sign somebody to

861
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 1: a long term deal. Do they want to be, you know,

862
00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:00,440
Speaker 1: without winning the championship? Do they want to be the

863
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:03,359
Speaker 1: Celtics saying hey, we've got all these guys that we're paying.

864
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:05,400
Speaker 1: Now we've got to trade one of these guys. So

865
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:07,399
Speaker 1: that's what it is. I mean, it's just being smart,

866
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 1: So not news but just smart management. But that got

867
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:14,359
Speaker 1: a great deal in John Brunson, as I said, well.

868
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:15,719
Speaker 3: Here, when you say it, though, it makes me think

869
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 3: that Mikhale Bridges is not long for New York. Seems

870
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:22,640
Speaker 3: the most tradable of all those guys, like OG's already

871
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:24,680
Speaker 3: signed to his deal a little bit more. I think,

872
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:28,440
Speaker 3: at least after this season, his reputation is ahead of

873
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:30,439
Speaker 3: Mikale Bridges. I think Bridges kind of took a step

874
00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:32,960
Speaker 3: back his first year in New York figuring out where

875
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:36,359
Speaker 3: he fits in. Obviously, Brunson is the cornerstone of the team.

876
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 3: He took the deal to be able to be able

877
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 3: to sign his buddies. And then Cat, I guess, I

878
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 3: don't know. Cat I guess is a question mark if

879
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:45,960
Speaker 3: a team decides that they think he could be their

880
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 3: number one guy. He's got such a big contract that

881
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:50,879
Speaker 3: it can bring somebody else back. That's interesting as well.

882
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:52,920
Speaker 3: But we just saw it the Desmond Baye deal, and

883
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:55,879
Speaker 3: like you're saying with the Celtics, it doesn't make sense

884
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:58,640
Speaker 3: to have four super highly paid guys at the top

885
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:01,040
Speaker 3: of your salary caps and that's what the Knicks are

886
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 3: looking at when outher they do the Michale Bridges extension.

887
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:06,239
Speaker 3: So I think even once he signs the deal, that'll

888
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:08,480
Speaker 3: still be a guy that they're shopping quite a bit.

889
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, And as for the knickt offseason, it's been pretty quiet,

890
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:14,600
Speaker 4: like they didn't have a lot of like options this offseason,

891
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:17,399
Speaker 4: but they signed Jordan Clarkson to a one year deal

892
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:19,719
Speaker 4: to obviously give them a little boost and scoring off

893
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:23,759
Speaker 4: the bench, and then Yabusele Gershon Yabasele to I believe

894
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:25,200
Speaker 4: a two year deal is what they got him for.

895
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 4: So trying to like, yeah, exactly, get their roster a

896
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:30,759
Speaker 4: little more intact here, and they're gonna be a good team.

897
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:33,400
Speaker 4: And you seem to agree that they're going to be probably,

898
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:35,959
Speaker 4: I mean, if everybody stays healthy, they have the talent

899
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:38,120
Speaker 4: to easily be a top three team in this Eastern

900
00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:40,239
Speaker 4: Conference this year with all of the injuries.

901
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:43,279
Speaker 1: They were last year. So yeah, this year with that

902
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:46,400
Speaker 1: injured Celtics team. Sure they didn't just win fifty one games.

903
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:48,680
Speaker 1: They weren't an incredible team, but that's why they go

904
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:50,640
Speaker 1: and get a new coach to try and oh yes,

905
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:52,200
Speaker 1: change it up to Mike Brown. Of it all?

906
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:55,919
Speaker 4: All right, a few more headlines here. The Athletics says

907
00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:59,680
Speaker 4: Richard Jefferson agrees to return to ESPN. Doris Burke's spots

908
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:03,440
Speaker 4: still question, Tess. Start with you hearing this news.

909
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:08,640
Speaker 1: Richard returning, This is news. Good for Richard, gets to

910
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:12,439
Speaker 1: be on TV, gets to keep doing it. That's that's

911
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:14,759
Speaker 1: why it's news, nothing more and nothing less.

912
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:17,560
Speaker 2: But the dos Doris Burke part of it all.

913
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:22,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's interesting. Yeah, she's I think this is more

914
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:25,359
Speaker 1: about Dorris and what she wants to do in life

915
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:28,680
Speaker 1: in general. Maybe she wants to change it up. Maybe

916
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:31,880
Speaker 1: she wants to go it be part of a coaching staff,

917
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:33,560
Speaker 1: and in some ways maybe she wants to go to

918
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:34,440
Speaker 1: w NBA.

919
00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:36,279
Speaker 6: In some ways, I don't know. I don't know that

920
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:40,560
Speaker 6: part is that's up to Doris. But I don't know

921
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:42,680
Speaker 6: if it's up to Doris. It doesn't seem like it's

922
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:44,400
Speaker 6: up to Doris whether or not she will be on

923
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:47,320
Speaker 6: the number one team. At least they're considering Legler, and

924
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 6: I think it was Rocky, Doris Burke and Richard Jefferson.

925
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:53,560
Speaker 3: They had their moments, but I don't know that they

926
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:57,279
Speaker 3: were completely hitting. ESPN is the premier broadcaster of the NBA.

927
00:42:57,360 --> 00:42:58,880
Speaker 3: They've got the finals, but I don't know that I

928
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:02,080
Speaker 3: would say that their broadcast talent is the best of

929
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:05,040
Speaker 3: the three partners we've got going forward. Amazon has Iron Eagle,

930
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:08,000
Speaker 3: Kevin Harlan, and then Michael Grady and Eric Collins. Their

931
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:11,680
Speaker 3: color guys are Stan Van Gundhi, Bones Del Curry, Wade Nash,

932
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:14,719
Speaker 3: Candace Parker. I'm pretty interested to hear all of those

933
00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:18,879
Speaker 3: guys and woman Candas Parker there on the broadcast. NBC

934
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:22,120
Speaker 3: has Mike Terico, Noah Eagle. They have Michael Grady as well.

935
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:25,000
Speaker 3: Is he doing it both Amazon and NBC? I think

936
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:26,320
Speaker 3: he is, Yeah, that's what it seems like.

937
00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:29,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, and doing some local games yea for Minnesota.

938
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:31,320
Speaker 6: Still, yeah, you're gonna hear a lot of Michael Grady

939
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:33,640
Speaker 6: and then a guy whose last name is Gannon.

940
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:35,239
Speaker 3: Should have wrote down his first name because I'm sure

941
00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 3: it's not Richie. With that, we got Reggie Jamal Crawford,

942
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:43,040
Speaker 3: Grant Hill, Austin Rivers, Derek Fisher, Scal Robbie Hummel, and

943
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:47,759
Speaker 3: Brad Doherty are their color analysts. So I think you're

944
00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:50,719
Speaker 3: looking at both NBC and Amazon and saying I would

945
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:53,240
Speaker 3: kind of rather hear from them going into next season.

946
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:53,879
Speaker 1: Yeah.

947
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 4: I guess with Richard Jefferson, Amazon Prime, they were interested

948
00:43:58,040 --> 00:43:59,680
Speaker 4: in him, but he is sticking with ESPN and the

949
00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:01,759
Speaker 4: doors Burke of it all like they were, remember we

950
00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:04,120
Speaker 4: talked about like they were contemplating ESPN was and I

951
00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:07,319
Speaker 4: guess Slash ABC with the finals, like are we going

952
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 4: three man slash woman booth? Are we going two man

953
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:13,959
Speaker 4: potentially woman booth? And maybe that's something they decide, maybe

954
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:17,480
Speaker 4: they just go with Breen n RJ. Although Tim Legler's

955
00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:19,960
Speaker 4: name has always come up as a potential like replacement

956
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:22,400
Speaker 4: to slot in there if Doris Burke leaves. Here's what

957
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:24,480
Speaker 4: I know about Doris this Like, I guess it's the

958
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:27,000
Speaker 4: opposite of restricted free agency right now for NBA players.

959
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:29,960
Speaker 2: Bad time to be a restricted free agent. I think

960
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:31,520
Speaker 2: a pretty damn good time if you're in.

961
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:35,080
Speaker 4: The NBA commentary game, because there's a whole bunch of

962
00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:37,600
Speaker 4: other places, with a whole bunch of other games that

963
00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:40,439
Speaker 4: you could go and work for. So, whether Doris Burke

964
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:42,319
Speaker 4: is still with ESPN or not, I don't think she's

965
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:44,440
Speaker 4: gonna have a problem if she moves on from ESPN

966
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:48,720
Speaker 4: getting picked up by Amazon or NBC. Like in a heartbeat,

967
00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:51,359
Speaker 4: I would imagine added to the team. That's my just hunt.

968
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:54,400
Speaker 4: So because there's so many spots now and all of

969
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:57,360
Speaker 4: these games to cover on all these networks now, And

970
00:44:57,480 --> 00:44:59,680
Speaker 4: you just went through, you listed like literally out of

971
00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:04,239
Speaker 4: like twenty five people there. So we'll see whether or

972
00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:07,200
Speaker 4: not they stick with her and that team. You know,

973
00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:09,839
Speaker 4: we've we've had our issues with that squad. I would

974
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:11,719
Speaker 4: say those three. But I thought there I thought the

975
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:13,680
Speaker 4: finals was getting a I don't know there was a

976
00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:17,200
Speaker 4: little bit more chemistry being built at times. Maybe that

977
00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:19,160
Speaker 4: was part of the games being really good. I'm not sure,

978
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:21,160
Speaker 4: you know, it sort of like goes hand in hand

979
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:24,240
Speaker 4: the entertaining basketball with then maybe the broadcast.

980
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:27,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, this isn't the Chicago Bills picking Billy Donvan as

981
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:31,479
Speaker 1: a coach. There ain't no stability with the ESPN's roster.

982
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:34,560
Speaker 1: We've gone through the Doc Rivers era, the JJ Reddick

983
00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:36,560
Speaker 1: era that was super short, and so they haven't they

984
00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:40,080
Speaker 1: haven't had time to really build any chemistry. So that's

985
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:42,480
Speaker 1: that was a part of all this. But yeah, whether

986
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:45,560
Speaker 1: ESPN's going in another direction, that I mean, they are

987
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:50,440
Speaker 1: going in another direction in terms of the the talkers,

988
00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:54,719
Speaker 1: the Pat McAfee, the Steven A. Smith era, So that's

989
00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:58,040
Speaker 1: a different direction. As far as the A team here

990
00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:02,359
Speaker 1: with the with the finals, it's it's does that mean

991
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:04,320
Speaker 1: Dorisburk just doesn't go to another team? If she's not

992
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:05,880
Speaker 1: part of the A team and she sticks with it,

993
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:08,960
Speaker 1: can she still be on broadcasts? Of course if she

994
00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:09,360
Speaker 1: wants to.

995
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:13,520
Speaker 4: I mean, in ESPN's defense, with Doc Rivers and JJ Reddick,

996
00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:15,400
Speaker 4: like they were hired to join the booth and then

997
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:17,400
Speaker 4: those guys were like, oh, I want to be a

998
00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:19,439
Speaker 4: coach again. I guess I'll just co coach that team.

999
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:22,880
Speaker 4: At a certain point, you have to be like, oh,

1000
00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:25,400
Speaker 4: it's not really their fault. I don't think they're like,

1001
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:27,360
Speaker 4: I'll take this cushy asked job and then I'll go

1002
00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:28,080
Speaker 4: and coach again.

1003
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:31,560
Speaker 2: See you later. Sorry you fill the spot. But you're right,

1004
00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:33,200
Speaker 2: they're always cycling through them.

1005
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:34,600
Speaker 3: Who's your favorite color analyst?

1006
00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:37,719
Speaker 1: Hmmm of the ESPN.

1007
00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:42,560
Speaker 3: National National not a not locals?

1008
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:43,200
Speaker 5: Oh, not local.

1009
00:46:43,719 --> 00:46:46,000
Speaker 2: I can't give you a Clyde a Clyde Free here.

1010
00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:47,440
Speaker 2: Keeps it real with the Knicks.

1011
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:52,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, if I'm going to a fun route, because there's

1012
00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:57,960
Speaker 1: two types of analysts. There's the fun person, the Richard Jefferson,

1013
00:46:58,680 --> 00:47:01,560
Speaker 1: the Dwayne Wade I think he was was super fun

1014
00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:04,200
Speaker 1: with no Eagle, and then there's the more the stability.

1015
00:47:04,239 --> 00:47:07,319
Speaker 1: What I think Dwayne Wade's making is he's shooting up

1016
00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:11,360
Speaker 1: the rankings in terms of fun one. But I'm excited

1017
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:14,000
Speaker 1: about the Legler sort of analysts. And I can understand

1018
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:17,800
Speaker 1: why they're maybe balancing a three person booth with Breen

1019
00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:23,960
Speaker 1: Legler to substitute for for Doris Burke. They're they're similar

1020
00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:26,120
Speaker 1: to me, they can be similar.

1021
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:29,399
Speaker 4: The Amazon like hires and stuff, and what they've said

1022
00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:31,560
Speaker 4: in press releases I'm fascinated by is like they're making

1023
00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:34,560
Speaker 4: it sound like some of these guys will be in

1024
00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:37,680
Speaker 4: the studio and then like suddenly be like on a

1025
00:47:37,760 --> 00:47:39,840
Speaker 4: call as a color commentator, and like they'll sort of

1026
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:43,160
Speaker 4: like be interchanging that way. It's like, Oh, i'd be

1027
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:46,280
Speaker 4: fascinating to see, like the game different. They're two different

1028
00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:48,759
Speaker 4: skills obviously, but not that some of these guys and

1029
00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:51,960
Speaker 4: women can't do both. But I think you're quickly going

1030
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:54,640
Speaker 4: to learn like, oh, maybe he's better suited at studio

1031
00:47:54,719 --> 00:47:55,000
Speaker 4: than he.

1032
00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:58,280
Speaker 2: Is for game action or not, because again they're so different.

1033
00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:00,000
Speaker 2: So do you have a favorite? Who's your favorite?

1034
00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:03,080
Speaker 3: I'm most excited to hear Wade and Iron Eagle, which

1035
00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:05,239
Speaker 3: is funny because he was with Noah Eagle on the

1036
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:10,440
Speaker 3: NBC squad previously. I would have Legler ranked really highly.

1037
00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:13,200
Speaker 3: And I do like listening to Reggie. He's like he

1038
00:48:13,239 --> 00:48:15,160
Speaker 3: can get annoying, he can be a cornball, but the

1039
00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:18,000
Speaker 3: dude loves watching basketball. He's excited to watch it and

1040
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:21,680
Speaker 3: he says something ridiculous every single game, for sure, but

1041
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:23,399
Speaker 3: he's high on my list, to be honest.

1042
00:48:23,719 --> 00:48:28,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, from Amazon, just zooming out and thinking we're

1043
00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:30,760
Speaker 1: going to be doing this differently because the game is changing.

1044
00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:34,719
Speaker 1: That's the interesting part to me, and that maybe they

1045
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:39,239
Speaker 1: just don't have traditional broadcasters anymore. That whole thing is

1046
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:42,560
Speaker 1: constantly changing with in their eyes. We'll see how much

1047
00:48:42,640 --> 00:48:44,560
Speaker 1: it actually happens on broadcast or where they just go

1048
00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:45,840
Speaker 1: back to standard stuff.

1049
00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:48,440
Speaker 2: Here are you hoping for Kevin Hart on the sidelines like.

1050
00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:50,719
Speaker 1: An All Star game that wasn't an All Star game?

1051
00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:55,640
Speaker 4: Okay, final headline here. Entertainment Weekly says air Bud returns

1052
00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:59,799
Speaker 4: to bring peak nineties nostalgia to theaters in twenty twenty,

1053
00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:02,640
Speaker 4: Airbud is back.

1054
00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:05,319
Speaker 2: Trey Kirby to steal your line, He's back.

1055
00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:08,759
Speaker 3: That's a different dog, of course, way different way. Rip

1056
00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:10,560
Speaker 3: to Buddy died in nineteen ninety eight.

1057
00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:12,280
Speaker 1: What a blow up for Buddy.

1058
00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:13,720
Speaker 2: A stray dog.

1059
00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:16,760
Speaker 3: Made his way to America's funniest hon videos, to Letterman,

1060
00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:22,839
Speaker 3: to movies and television. Beautiful story. Yeah, I guess they've

1061
00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:25,360
Speaker 3: made like nine million Airbud movies, but this is the

1062
00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:27,759
Speaker 3: first one to go into theaters. Yeah, this will be

1063
00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:29,080
Speaker 3: the original.

1064
00:49:28,680 --> 00:49:32,440
Speaker 2: Teenth Airbud movie in the franchise.

1065
00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:35,000
Speaker 3: Fifteenth they ever get one like let him ride a horse?

1066
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:39,640
Speaker 2: His dog never rode a horse. Yeah, from what I

1067
00:49:39,680 --> 00:49:41,640
Speaker 2: can tell, No, No, I don't think he's gotten on

1068
00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:42,040
Speaker 2: a horse.

1069
00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:44,200
Speaker 4: But yeah, this new movie is going to center around

1070
00:49:44,239 --> 00:49:47,560
Speaker 4: a twelve year old boy named Jacob who moves into

1071
00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:50,600
Speaker 4: his father's childhood home in Ferndale after he passes away.

1072
00:49:51,080 --> 00:49:54,720
Speaker 4: He discovers an old VHS tape of Airbud and encounters

1073
00:49:54,760 --> 00:49:58,120
Speaker 4: a stray golden retriever with a coincidence, which he names Buddy,

1074
00:49:58,280 --> 00:50:00,759
Speaker 4: and the two bond and they joined a basketball team

1075
00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:03,160
Speaker 4: and they chase their championship dreams.

1076
00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:05,000
Speaker 2: But it's not like I bring that.

1077
00:50:05,080 --> 00:50:06,800
Speaker 4: Up because they're saying it's not like a just like

1078
00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:10,520
Speaker 4: a remake. So there's something new to this one, something

1079
00:50:11,719 --> 00:50:14,680
Speaker 4: to Airbud returns to ask you pumped.

1080
00:50:15,480 --> 00:50:20,839
Speaker 1: Absolutely, absolutely, I'm excited. It's got to be a new duck.

1081
00:50:21,840 --> 00:50:26,280
Speaker 1: That's it, and that's cool. Like our man Christian, Christian

1082
00:50:26,320 --> 00:50:28,439
Speaker 1: and Scooby, it's got to be a new duck.

1083
00:50:28,600 --> 00:50:28,759
Speaker 3: You know.

1084
00:50:32,239 --> 00:50:34,960
Speaker 1: Secrets, we'll see, we'll see what happens with Bud. But

1085
00:50:35,120 --> 00:50:37,520
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to that first time in the theaters.

1086
00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:38,600
Speaker 1: First time in the theater.

1087
00:50:38,680 --> 00:50:41,880
Speaker 4: We're going for sure. I can't believe we're going opening

1088
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:43,439
Speaker 4: night and we're dressing as dogs.

1089
00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:46,920
Speaker 1: We're dressing, yes.

1090
00:50:47,640 --> 00:50:49,640
Speaker 3: Dresses referees every time he comes in.

1091
00:50:52,160 --> 00:50:54,200
Speaker 4: I would like to see in this Air Bud return

1092
00:50:54,360 --> 00:50:56,640
Speaker 4: some better basketball being played by the dog, because that

1093
00:50:56,760 --> 00:51:00,680
Speaker 4: was one of our criticisms in Airbud seven, the movie.

1094
00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:02,840
Speaker 4: We did a film session on We actually re released

1095
00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:05,040
Speaker 4: this for all you podcast listeners. We threw it up

1096
00:51:05,080 --> 00:51:06,880
Speaker 4: on YouTube as well, so go check that out. We

1097
00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:08,640
Speaker 4: dropped it over the weekend. We re released it over

1098
00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:12,200
Speaker 4: the weekend, and we talked about like like he wasn't

1099
00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:16,200
Speaker 4: playing the greatest basketball. I mean like like you see

1100
00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:18,680
Speaker 4: the photo he's dunking, and it's like he ain't dunking.

1101
00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:19,360
Speaker 3: He ain't dunk it.

1102
00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:22,640
Speaker 2: He's like just bopping the ball with his nose every

1103
00:51:22,680 --> 00:51:23,319
Speaker 2: once in a while.

1104
00:51:23,760 --> 00:51:23,960
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1105
00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:27,880
Speaker 3: According to Buddy's Wikipedia page, part of that was putting

1106
00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:29,120
Speaker 3: olive oil on the ball.

1107
00:51:29,520 --> 00:51:30,080
Speaker 1: Are you serious?

1108
00:51:30,080 --> 00:51:32,560
Speaker 3: And the Buddy would try and bite at it but

1109
00:51:33,120 --> 00:51:37,000
Speaker 3: couldn't get a grid shoot but it is look this.

1110
00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:39,160
Speaker 1: Is why was there all of oil on the ball?

1111
00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:45,960
Speaker 3: Slippery? I guess his canines didn't been there. Yeah, I

1112
00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:49,360
Speaker 3: just did a little uh buddy research this morning. I

1113
00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:53,800
Speaker 3: hope this dog shares some genetics with air Bud the original.

1114
00:51:54,080 --> 00:51:57,440
Speaker 3: That would be a nice touch. But some things we

1115
00:51:57,560 --> 00:52:01,000
Speaker 3: need to see Airbud the first one Mountain nineteen ninety seven.

1116
00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:04,200
Speaker 3: The game has changed quite a bit. Buddy's gotta be shootings.

1117
00:52:05,320 --> 00:52:06,239
Speaker 1: You're taking those mid.

1118
00:52:07,840 --> 00:52:10,000
Speaker 3: Sunny. You've been Doug and number two. Christian and Scooty

1119
00:52:10,040 --> 00:52:11,960
Speaker 3: should have a cameo in US. Yes, I don't know

1120
00:52:11,960 --> 00:52:14,319
Speaker 3: if you guys watched Happy Gilmore two yet.

1121
00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:17,319
Speaker 2: No, Yeah, I wasn't hearing the greatest of things.

1122
00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:19,880
Speaker 3: Look, it's a thirty year old sequel that came out

1123
00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:24,480
Speaker 3: on Netflix. It's I would say, ninety nine cameos.

1124
00:52:24,600 --> 00:52:27,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I heard there's a ton so there's a lane

1125
00:52:27,239 --> 00:52:27,560
Speaker 2: here to go.

1126
00:52:27,719 --> 00:52:31,280
Speaker 3: Cameo heavy in air Bud returns. You gotta have Christian

1127
00:52:31,320 --> 00:52:32,040
Speaker 3: and Scooby.

1128
00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:36,719
Speaker 1: There must I like it. Okay, you gotta Cgi the dog. Oh,

1129
00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:40,840
Speaker 1: sorry like Crypto yep, CGI.

1130
00:52:41,280 --> 00:52:43,040
Speaker 5: You gotta see some actual basketball.

1131
00:52:43,400 --> 00:52:48,160
Speaker 2: Oh, but you want to take away a good acting

1132
00:52:48,280 --> 00:52:49,359
Speaker 2: gig from a real dog.

1133
00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:53,520
Speaker 1: You want to say better basketball. You will not sit

1134
00:52:53,680 --> 00:52:57,239
Speaker 1: nor stand for this or roll over we don't need

1135
00:52:57,280 --> 00:52:58,200
Speaker 1: to see good basketball.

1136
00:52:58,239 --> 00:53:03,280
Speaker 5: It's fine, okay, So then you're fine with him just pops, yeah.

1137
00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:05,480
Speaker 1: Just just not much basketball. I would just show a

1138
00:53:05,560 --> 00:53:07,360
Speaker 1: play and then you know, we'll see a play like

1139
00:53:07,719 --> 00:53:09,439
Speaker 1: thirty minutes later. It doesn't have to be many.

1140
00:53:09,719 --> 00:53:13,200
Speaker 2: Just so if we go CG. I like, we can

1141
00:53:13,320 --> 00:53:14,400
Speaker 2: have buddy like.

1142
00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:20,279
Speaker 5: Yeah, dunking, he could. He could be a basketball playing dog.

1143
00:53:20,840 --> 00:53:22,680
Speaker 5: It's a magic dog anyway, so who cares.

1144
00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:24,359
Speaker 2: Not, No, it's a normal dog.

1145
00:53:25,200 --> 00:53:25,880
Speaker 5: I don't think so.

1146
00:53:27,640 --> 00:53:30,680
Speaker 4: I think it's I don't know, I think it. It

1147
00:53:30,880 --> 00:53:32,440
Speaker 4: wasn't one of the moral of the stories. You could

1148
00:53:32,440 --> 00:53:37,080
Speaker 4: teach a dog. You can teach a dog new.

1149
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:41,760
Speaker 5: Trick, right, but you can't teach a dog to play basketball. Sorry,

1150
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:42,440
Speaker 5: you can't.

1151
00:53:42,600 --> 00:53:43,560
Speaker 3: It's got to be born with it.

1152
00:53:44,520 --> 00:53:45,960
Speaker 1: It's gotta be born with it. C G.

1153
00:53:46,120 --> 00:53:48,479
Speaker 5: I the dog, and then you're gonna get.

1154
00:53:48,400 --> 00:53:51,680
Speaker 1: Some basketball, not many, not much basketball. You mentioned Netflix

1155
00:53:52,280 --> 00:53:55,000
Speaker 1: because Happy Gilmore. I watched Running Point, which is a

1156
00:53:55,080 --> 00:53:58,520
Speaker 1: Netflix series with Joe Mandy just hops in there for

1157
00:53:58,719 --> 00:54:01,399
Speaker 1: a quick hello shout out to show many. They don't

1158
00:54:01,400 --> 00:54:08,640
Speaker 1: show many. They don't show many basketball plays and Running Point.

1159
00:54:09,560 --> 00:54:12,080
Speaker 2: That's smart though, because it'll probably look like crap.

1160
00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:14,960
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, there's not much, but there's no basketball to

1161
00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:17,120
Speaker 1: be played, the same with the dock. He doesn't want

1162
00:54:17,120 --> 00:54:18,799
Speaker 1: to play. He can just bop a ball.

1163
00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:22,920
Speaker 2: I was talking about, you want Airbud. Air Bud returns

1164
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:25,160
Speaker 2: and he never touches the basketball.

1165
00:54:27,560 --> 00:54:27,960
Speaker 3: Screens.

1166
00:54:28,960 --> 00:54:32,000
Speaker 1: Do you think people remember the original air but nobody

1167
00:54:32,080 --> 00:54:35,200
Speaker 1: cares about the basketball? To me, that was a billion

1168
00:54:35,320 --> 00:54:38,680
Speaker 1: years ago. We're talking about kids. We're talking about kids.

1169
00:54:38,719 --> 00:54:39,479
Speaker 1: It's about the kids.

1170
00:54:39,680 --> 00:54:41,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a formative movie for some people.

1171
00:54:42,280 --> 00:54:44,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're not kids anymore.

1172
00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:46,279
Speaker 2: I remember the Titans that I remember Air.

1173
00:54:46,360 --> 00:54:51,400
Speaker 3: But will you watch original air Bud before Airbud returns?

1174
00:54:51,520 --> 00:54:52,080
Speaker 1: I have to watch.

1175
00:54:52,239 --> 00:54:56,120
Speaker 2: I have to watch all fourteen. I got to know

1176
00:54:56,200 --> 00:54:58,600
Speaker 2: what he's doing worldwide, pop, I got to see the

1177
00:54:58,719 --> 00:54:59,520
Speaker 2: soccer skills.

1178
00:55:01,640 --> 00:55:02,640
Speaker 3: That's a good day, man.

1179
00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:07,799
Speaker 2: What's what's the football? Golden retriever receiver, golden receiver? Yeah

1180
00:55:09,120 --> 00:55:11,600
Speaker 2: that might be. And then there's like, yeah, there's a million.

1181
00:55:11,880 --> 00:55:12,000
Speaker 3: Uh.

1182
00:55:12,800 --> 00:55:15,080
Speaker 2: I think he gets into maybe the Olympics. Does he

1183
00:55:15,160 --> 00:55:16,600
Speaker 2: start doing winter sports?

1184
00:55:17,280 --> 00:55:18,200
Speaker 5: I didn't go that deep.

1185
00:55:18,360 --> 00:55:21,239
Speaker 2: No, I'm being okay, uh, and just other news.

1186
00:55:21,239 --> 00:55:23,720
Speaker 4: I don't have headlines for you, but congratulations to Tyrese

1187
00:55:23,719 --> 00:55:28,160
Speaker 4: Haliburton proposed to his longtime girlfriend Jade Jade Jones. I

1188
00:55:28,239 --> 00:55:30,000
Speaker 4: did not know that was her name. What a badass name.

1189
00:55:30,040 --> 00:55:32,879
Speaker 4: Sounds like an actor name. And the Clippers reintroduced Chris Paul,

1190
00:55:33,560 --> 00:55:35,560
Speaker 4: who called the return to l A a no brainer,

1191
00:55:35,680 --> 00:55:37,520
Speaker 4: so they did little press conference for him. You see

1192
00:55:37,640 --> 00:55:39,279
Speaker 4: pumped in We already brought up Luca and his hot

1193
00:55:39,320 --> 00:55:40,120
Speaker 4: new body.

1194
00:55:41,040 --> 00:55:42,279
Speaker 2: Under cover of men's help.

1195
00:55:42,640 --> 00:55:45,759
Speaker 4: People are pumped about you got anything from on air

1196
00:55:45,800 --> 00:55:47,000
Speaker 4: bud and the franchise for me.

1197
00:55:47,160 --> 00:55:50,160
Speaker 3: Look, I will say that some of these I don't

1198
00:55:50,200 --> 00:55:52,320
Speaker 3: think they should fall into the sequel realm. There's a

1199
00:55:52,400 --> 00:55:56,200
Speaker 3: whole section called air Buddies that goes Air Buddies, Snow Buddies,

1200
00:55:56,360 --> 00:56:00,600
Speaker 3: Space Buddies, Santa Buddies, Spooky Buddies, Treasure Buddies, Super Buddies.

1201
00:56:01,560 --> 00:56:05,560
Speaker 3: This is a completely different franchise to me. Dog adjacent, surely,

1202
00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:08,120
Speaker 3: but it doesn't sound like a dog is playing sports

1203
00:56:08,200 --> 00:56:11,319
Speaker 3: to me. Right, But then they get into the search

1204
00:56:11,360 --> 00:56:11,840
Speaker 3: for Santa.

1205
00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:15,960
Speaker 4: Pause, come on now, but those are not they're not cartoons, right,

1206
00:56:16,880 --> 00:56:19,279
Speaker 4: I don't know, man, Well, no, I don't think so.

1207
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:22,240
Speaker 3: I don't think they are. These look like full films

1208
00:56:22,760 --> 00:56:28,560
Speaker 3: the first five. The first five were athletes, Golden Receiver,

1209
00:56:29,040 --> 00:56:34,239
Speaker 3: World Pop, Seventh Inning, Fetch, spikes back. That's good. That's good,

1210
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:36,400
Speaker 3: getting back to basics. I like that.

1211
00:56:38,520 --> 00:56:41,720
Speaker 1: Returns. Just to add to the news, Tracey McGrady joining

1212
00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:46,279
Speaker 1: the NBC crew as a studio analyst beginning this fall.

1213
00:56:46,360 --> 00:56:49,359
Speaker 2: I mean, everybody is working for one of these three

1214
00:56:49,440 --> 00:56:51,320
Speaker 2: now networks. It's pretty amazing.

1215
00:56:51,520 --> 00:56:53,759
Speaker 3: He needs to show up in the giant pants for

1216
00:56:53,880 --> 00:56:56,520
Speaker 3: his very first appearance roback.

1217
00:56:57,800 --> 00:56:59,640
Speaker 1: Shout out to Devon on the stream team for pointing

1218
00:56:59,680 --> 00:57:01,759
Speaker 1: that out. Yeah, I guess he's not going to be

1219
00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:04,840
Speaker 1: an analyst in games. We don't got to go indep

1220
00:57:04,880 --> 00:57:05,520
Speaker 1: but who knows.

1221
00:57:05,640 --> 00:57:07,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, he could be moving on.

1222
00:57:07,200 --> 00:57:11,000
Speaker 4: The NBA ID Fan Favorites campaign tipped last week, allowing

1223
00:57:11,040 --> 00:57:13,440
Speaker 4: fans to vote across the NBA app, NBA dot com

1224
00:57:13,560 --> 00:57:16,680
Speaker 4: social media to decide the best moments from the twenty

1225

Speaker 4: twenty four to twenty five season.

1226
00:57:18,880 --> 00:57:20,439
Speaker 2: The voting started with Dunk Week.

1227
00:57:21,120 --> 00:57:22,640
Speaker 4: I think a big part of that was because they

1228
00:57:22,680 --> 00:57:25,520
Speaker 4: were sorry Dunk of the Year because it was Dunk Week,

1229
00:57:25,640 --> 00:57:28,280
Speaker 4: so they started with that one. We got six nominees, guys,

1230
00:57:28,760 --> 00:57:30,280
Speaker 4: we're gonna show them to you here on YouTube for

1231
00:57:30,280 --> 00:57:32,080
Speaker 4: the podcast listener, I'll tell you what the dunks are

1232
00:57:32,640 --> 00:57:34,919
Speaker 4: and we can just run through these. Jd first dunk

1233
00:57:35,360 --> 00:57:38,600
Speaker 4: nominee for Dunk of the Year last year, good old

1234
00:57:38,640 --> 00:57:43,080
Speaker 4: Canadian boy Jade and Sharp flying for the one hand

1235
00:57:43,360 --> 00:57:47,280
Speaker 4: dunk against the Wizards after that sort of backcourt steal.

1236
00:57:47,360 --> 00:57:49,120
Speaker 4: He just skies up there and throws it down with

1237
00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:50,960
Speaker 4: some authority and then hits the ground.

1238
00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:54,760
Speaker 1: Maybe highest vertical on a dunk this year was I

1239
00:57:54,840 --> 00:57:55,560
Speaker 1: think that is right.

1240
00:57:55,880 --> 00:57:57,440
Speaker 2: Thank you for bringing up dunk score.

1241
00:57:57,520 --> 00:57:57,960
Speaker 3: Oh yeah.

1242
00:57:58,360 --> 00:58:02,240
Speaker 4: Then we have as a second nominee Jail Green detonating

1243
00:58:02,640 --> 00:58:05,880
Speaker 4: on Cad Cunningham and the Pistons after again a steal

1244
00:58:05,920 --> 00:58:10,440
Speaker 4: from Amen Thompson and Porcade there just gets left on

1245
00:58:10,560 --> 00:58:13,920
Speaker 4: an island and jailing with a huge dunk. Pascal Siakam

1246
00:58:13,920 --> 00:58:16,440
Speaker 4: a nominee. We're going to the finals. Remember this one

1247
00:58:16,520 --> 00:58:20,200
Speaker 4: the tyrese Haliburton sort of like spinning, I mean call

1248
00:58:20,240 --> 00:58:21,840
Speaker 4: it a no look past, you know. He puts some

1249
00:58:21,920 --> 00:58:26,960
Speaker 4: flare on the pass and then Siakam dunking on the

1250
00:58:27,040 --> 00:58:29,320
Speaker 4: thunder who got hammered there was Itton, I guess it.

1251
00:58:31,520 --> 00:58:34,440
Speaker 4: So that's a nominee. Then Jalen Johnson. I had forgotten

1252
00:58:34,440 --> 00:58:36,400
Speaker 4: about this dunk against the Pistons.

1253
00:58:36,480 --> 00:58:36,800
Speaker 2: Again.

1254
00:58:37,560 --> 00:58:40,880
Speaker 4: He loses the ball sort of as he goes for

1255
00:58:41,040 --> 00:58:42,880
Speaker 4: the dunk and then sort of punches it home. You'll

1256
00:58:42,880 --> 00:58:44,680
Speaker 4: see it here on the replay. It slips out of

1257
00:58:44,720 --> 00:58:45,240
Speaker 4: his hands.

1258
00:58:45,560 --> 00:58:46,200
Speaker 1: That's amazing.

1259
00:58:46,480 --> 00:58:49,760
Speaker 2: He spikes it home like air butt in a volleyball move.

1260
00:58:52,680 --> 00:58:56,840
Speaker 4: Maybe. And then we have Lebron James the big left

1261
00:58:57,200 --> 00:59:00,920
Speaker 4: handed dunk. He sort of switched hands, yep, task like

1262
00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:03,840
Speaker 4: that one. Then he got a steal right away. I

1263
00:59:03,960 --> 00:59:07,480
Speaker 4: was a big dunk for Lebron, especially a left hand

1264
00:59:07,560 --> 00:59:09,840
Speaker 4: dunk like that. And then the final nominee Joahn Morant

1265
00:59:10,480 --> 00:59:15,480
Speaker 4: going baseline against the Celtics and avoiding Derek White and

1266
00:59:15,680 --> 00:59:19,360
Speaker 4: Kris stabs Porzingis with the double pump reverse.

1267
00:59:20,120 --> 00:59:21,840
Speaker 2: So this was the six nominees.

1268
00:59:23,040 --> 00:59:27,480
Speaker 1: Test. Yeah, well, so many to be left out as well.

1269
00:59:27,480 --> 00:59:29,600
Speaker 1: I mean there's lots of good ones, uh, shade and sharp.

1270
00:59:29,640 --> 00:59:33,800
Speaker 1: I guess it's just it just looks spectacular, you know,

1271
00:59:33,880 --> 00:59:36,760
Speaker 1: the lean back while he's hammering it home and there's

1272
00:59:36,800 --> 00:59:40,960
Speaker 1: a defender flying by. I think I put that number one.

1273
00:59:41,280 --> 00:59:44,560
Speaker 4: A dunk points though when the guy does fall down.

1274
00:59:45,080 --> 00:59:48,000
Speaker 4: I always wonder about this, like does it or maybe

1275
00:59:48,040 --> 00:59:50,920
Speaker 4: you could say it makes it even cooler that he

1276
00:59:51,160 --> 00:59:53,080
Speaker 4: like fell to the ground as he sort of got.

1277
00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:53,880
Speaker 2: Hung up on the rim there.

1278
00:59:54,200 --> 00:59:56,400
Speaker 3: That's what I do think it makes it cooler, okay,

1279
00:59:56,800 --> 00:59:58,320
Speaker 3: because it looks like he gets a little bit of

1280
00:59:58,360 --> 01:00:01,280
Speaker 3: a boost from Champagne when they call mid air. You

1281
01:00:01,360 --> 01:00:05,280
Speaker 3: can tell he is thrown off from a balance standpoint,

1282
01:00:05,360 --> 01:00:08,160
Speaker 3: so he's probably trying to save his ankles when he lands,

1283
01:00:08,200 --> 01:00:09,280
Speaker 3: and I don't I don't know. I just think that

1284
01:00:09,480 --> 01:00:12,240
Speaker 3: makes it look like he jumped even higher since rather

1285
01:00:12,320 --> 01:00:14,120
Speaker 3: than just his feet hitting the ground, his whole body

1286
01:00:14,200 --> 01:00:15,880
Speaker 3: hits the ground, so it's like, whoa, you just fell

1287
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:19,600
Speaker 3: sixty inches. Just so it looks crazy. I think I

1288
01:00:19,640 --> 01:00:21,800
Speaker 3: would vote Shade and Sharp, but I do love the

1289
01:00:21,880 --> 01:00:24,800
Speaker 3: Jalen Green one. I think it's cool that there's history

1290
01:00:24,840 --> 01:00:27,280
Speaker 3: between him and Cad Cunningham as well. They've got a

1291
01:00:27,280 --> 01:00:29,840
Speaker 3: big beef dating back to high school. So a cool

1292
01:00:30,360 --> 01:00:34,680
Speaker 3: two on one dunk draft pick wise, if the Pacers

1293
01:00:34,720 --> 01:00:37,320
Speaker 3: win the finals, I would probably vote for Siakam's dunk.

1294
01:00:38,760 --> 01:00:43,680
Speaker 3: A major moment is that Game six, I think, yeah,

1295
01:00:43,760 --> 01:00:47,760
Speaker 3: exactly right. They were turning the tide and who knows

1296
01:00:47,800 --> 01:00:49,360
Speaker 3: what could have happened in game seven. We all know

1297
01:00:49,440 --> 01:00:51,480
Speaker 3: what went down with Tyre's Haliburton there, but man, what

1298
01:00:51,600 --> 01:00:55,360
Speaker 3: a massive like momentum play. I feel like Siakim had

1299
01:00:55,440 --> 01:00:58,280
Speaker 3: maybe just scored on the previous possession as well, or

1300
01:00:58,400 --> 01:01:00,320
Speaker 3: maybe even had a block on the other end. I

1301
01:01:00,360 --> 01:01:02,840
Speaker 3: don't know what it was, but Sakam was hoping in

1302
01:01:02,920 --> 01:01:05,640
Speaker 3: this game, and this was a very cool NBA Finals

1303
01:01:05,680 --> 01:01:07,600
Speaker 3: play and then a little bron like switch hands I

1304
01:01:07,640 --> 01:01:09,560
Speaker 3: think is so cool how quick he does it, and

1305
01:01:09,640 --> 01:01:11,960
Speaker 3: then to actually have some power on it was pretty

1306
01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:13,800
Speaker 3: sick as well. And he also should have gotten the

1307
01:01:13,840 --> 01:01:15,960
Speaker 3: foul call because he gets hit across the shoulder and face.

1308
01:01:16,040 --> 01:01:16,800
Speaker 2: He gets smoked there.

1309
01:01:17,080 --> 01:01:17,280
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1310
01:01:18,080 --> 01:01:19,680
Speaker 4: I mean, look, there's a reason why they were the

1311
01:01:19,720 --> 01:01:21,840
Speaker 4: nominees for Dunk of the Year. They did a pretty

1312
01:01:21,880 --> 01:01:23,600
Speaker 4: good list here, even though, like you're right, task, they

1313
01:01:23,680 --> 01:01:27,160
Speaker 4: left a lot out, including Quentin Grimes with the highest

1314
01:01:27,280 --> 01:01:30,760
Speaker 4: dunk score of the year, which I thought was pretty funny,

1315
01:01:30,800 --> 01:01:34,400
Speaker 4: wasn't even a nominee. Yeah, fine, I guess top three.

1316
01:01:34,640 --> 01:01:40,080
Speaker 4: I'm down to Sharp Siakam and Ja Morant's dunk, which

1317
01:01:40,120 --> 01:01:42,280
Speaker 4: I have to tell you, guys did win the fan vote,

1318
01:01:42,560 --> 01:01:46,160
Speaker 4: the jamrant, you know, a little double pump there reverse

1319
01:01:46,240 --> 01:01:49,760
Speaker 4: it is, it's like the most unique of these to see,

1320
01:01:49,840 --> 01:01:51,320
Speaker 4: sort of like what you would see in a dunk

1321
01:01:51,360 --> 01:01:56,800
Speaker 4: contest type of dunk where he avoids the two defenders.

1322
01:01:56,840 --> 01:01:59,880
Speaker 4: It's like crazy how this ball goes like it barely

1323
01:02:00,120 --> 01:02:01,920
Speaker 4: touches the mesh. It feels like it just goes like

1324
01:02:02,000 --> 01:02:04,840
Speaker 4: straight through. Pretty good celebration too, So that ended up

1325
01:02:04,880 --> 01:02:07,800
Speaker 4: winning the fan vote. Maybe part of that's Jamarant being

1326
01:02:07,800 --> 01:02:10,320
Speaker 4: a fan favorite too, but they ultimately thought that maybe

1327
01:02:10,360 --> 01:02:13,560
Speaker 4: it was because it was last. People went to, Oh,

1328
01:02:14,200 --> 01:02:16,400
Speaker 4: it's like the best dunk is the last dunk you've seen,

1329
01:02:16,440 --> 01:02:18,280
Speaker 4: you know, maybe that haven't.

1330
01:02:18,560 --> 01:02:19,040
Speaker 2: Came into play.

1331
01:02:19,160 --> 01:02:21,640
Speaker 1: Very different, very different with the emphasis on the dunk

1332
01:02:21,720 --> 01:02:24,280
Speaker 1: in comparison to the rest. As you said, it's it

1333
01:02:24,360 --> 01:02:27,000
Speaker 1: stands out for that reason. But yeah, there's so many left.

1334
01:02:27,200 --> 01:02:31,320
Speaker 1: Jayalen Green had another monster hm about DeAndre Hunter. Anyways,

1335
01:02:31,320 --> 01:02:33,080
Speaker 1: there's there's a ton. There's a ton.

1336
01:02:33,560 --> 01:02:34,840
Speaker 2: John Collins we've talked about.

1337
01:02:34,920 --> 01:02:36,600
Speaker 4: He did have that big one on Kobe White where

1338
01:02:37,160 --> 01:02:40,080
Speaker 4: ye chicken wing that was about a big dunk score

1339
01:02:40,080 --> 01:02:41,840
Speaker 4: as well. But let's hear from you out there everybody

1340
01:02:41,840 --> 01:02:44,320
Speaker 4: in the stream team which one would you have voted for?

1341
01:02:44,760 --> 01:02:46,400
Speaker 4: Would you have gone jah Rant, would you have gone

1342
01:02:46,440 --> 01:02:47,920
Speaker 4: Siakam Sharp, any of those other ones?

1343
01:02:48,000 --> 01:02:50,000
Speaker 2: Or maybe one left off? And then tasks you.

1344
01:02:50,040 --> 01:02:51,520
Speaker 4: Wanted to talk a little bit about Weggie of the

1345
01:02:51,600 --> 01:02:54,120
Speaker 4: Year because we saw that that list there, Yeah, no

1346
01:02:54,280 --> 01:02:54,920
Speaker 4: fan vote for that.

1347
01:02:55,040 --> 01:02:58,360
Speaker 1: Where's the weggie get We'll give you four nominees of

1348
01:02:58,400 --> 01:02:59,880
Speaker 1: the year. It's the fruit of the loom Weggie of

1349
01:03:00,160 --> 01:03:04,400
Speaker 1: Year sponsor Jeremy Grant. I found is a pretty unique

1350
01:03:04,400 --> 01:03:06,280
Speaker 1: one to start. It's kind of a scoop, kind of

1351
01:03:06,320 --> 01:03:08,440
Speaker 1: a finger roll. It's a unique weedgi. You don't see

1352
01:03:08,440 --> 01:03:11,040
Speaker 1: that very often. Then Joel Embiid on a free throw.

1353
01:03:11,200 --> 01:03:14,040
Speaker 1: Now somebody else comes in, A couple guys come in

1354
01:03:14,080 --> 01:03:16,120
Speaker 1: and jam it in there. But I included Joel Ebid

1355
01:03:16,120 --> 01:03:18,880
Speaker 1: because he literally is so mad. He's just staring at

1356
01:03:19,040 --> 01:03:23,600
Speaker 1: the rim for so long forever. If you're watching here

1357
01:03:23,600 --> 01:03:25,440
Speaker 1: on YouTube, look at him. She's just standing there. That's

1358
01:03:25,480 --> 01:03:27,960
Speaker 1: emblematic of the six er season. This one is good.

1359
01:03:28,040 --> 01:03:31,600
Speaker 1: It's an overtime weggie from Jamal Murray. Cam Johnson is

1360
01:03:31,640 --> 01:03:35,040
Speaker 1: the guy who jumps in so future teammates there and

1361
01:03:35,160 --> 01:03:38,000
Speaker 1: overtime Weggie and then Jason Tatum to finish it off

1362
01:03:38,080 --> 01:03:41,040
Speaker 1: forty three points late in the game, and he finishes

1363
01:03:41,240 --> 01:03:46,040
Speaker 1: his forty three point triple double game with that shot,

1364
01:03:46,640 --> 01:03:47,320
Speaker 1: and then he goes to the.

1365
01:03:47,520 --> 01:03:48,040
Speaker 2: Subbed them out.

1366
01:03:48,240 --> 01:03:51,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, plus Oleggie deep shot. There's those lots of

1367
01:03:51,600 --> 01:03:54,080
Speaker 1: good ones out There's an NBA Cup one out there.

1368
01:03:54,680 --> 01:03:58,240
Speaker 1: There's a Gary Trent like with just like the quick

1369
01:03:58,320 --> 01:04:01,280
Speaker 1: released Weggie barely touching the ball at the end of

1370
01:04:01,320 --> 01:04:04,160
Speaker 1: his shot clock. We had Kelly Olinik just messing up

1371
01:04:04,200 --> 01:04:06,560
Speaker 1: a lot and getting a Weggie. That was a good one.

1372
01:04:06,680 --> 01:04:09,640
Speaker 1: But uh, I don't know. I don't know which one

1373
01:04:09,840 --> 01:04:14,160
Speaker 1: I would give it to, whether it's Jeremy Grant, Joel

1374
01:04:14,200 --> 01:04:17,880
Speaker 1: Embiid because it's not really Jamal Murray, or a Jason Tatum.

1375
01:04:17,880 --> 01:04:18,880
Speaker 2: I think I had vote Tatum.

1376
01:04:19,080 --> 01:04:19,760
Speaker 1: I sort of liked that.

1377
01:04:19,880 --> 01:04:22,040
Speaker 4: It was like he had that monster game and that

1378
01:04:22,200 --> 01:04:23,880
Speaker 4: was his last shot and then, like you said, he's

1379
01:04:23,960 --> 01:04:25,840
Speaker 4: laughing at it. It's like, Okay, I guess that's the

1380
01:04:25,880 --> 01:04:28,520
Speaker 4: time to come off here. So I you know, if

1381
01:04:28,560 --> 01:04:30,280
Speaker 4: we're being honest, we had a down yere for Weggies.

1382
01:04:30,800 --> 01:04:33,400
Speaker 4: He had forty eight but barely had any in the playoffs.

1383
01:04:33,440 --> 01:04:34,320
Speaker 4: It was unbelievable.

1384
01:04:34,320 --> 01:04:36,000
Speaker 3: We had, like, what do we have two or three

1385
01:04:36,080 --> 01:04:38,440
Speaker 3: in the playoffs or first round only for sure? Yeah, yeah,

1386
01:04:38,560 --> 01:04:40,840
Speaker 3: so I'll go Tatum. That would get my vote, I guess.

1387
01:04:40,880 --> 01:04:42,600
Speaker 1: I like the story of the Tatum and the reaction

1388
01:04:42,800 --> 01:04:43,000
Speaker 1: to it.

1389
01:04:43,640 --> 01:04:45,960
Speaker 3: My vote would go to Jamal Murray just because that

1390
01:04:46,000 --> 01:04:47,600
Speaker 3: looks like a wild play and I can't believe the

1391
01:04:47,680 --> 01:04:49,960
Speaker 3: ball actually stuck up in there. It looks so gentle

1392
01:04:50,000 --> 01:04:51,600
Speaker 3: the way it actually gets to the rim after he

1393
01:04:51,680 --> 01:04:55,640
Speaker 3: gets fouled slash blocked, and I don't know, just surprising

1394
01:04:55,720 --> 01:04:56,919
Speaker 3: that it would stick yep.

1395
01:04:57,240 --> 01:05:01,320
Speaker 4: According to weggietracker dot com, three guys had two weggies

1396
01:05:01,880 --> 01:05:07,640
Speaker 4: last season John Conchar, Keegan Murray, Max Christie. Okay, those

1397
01:05:07,680 --> 01:05:10,160
Speaker 4: are the only three guys that did multiple weggies in

1398
01:05:10,240 --> 01:05:11,240
Speaker 4: the in the calendar year.

1399
01:05:11,480 --> 01:05:15,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, Keegan Murray was was one of those NBA Cup ones.

1400
01:05:15,200 --> 01:05:18,280
Speaker 1: It was a defense. Since we're counting the guys that

1401
01:05:19,240 --> 01:05:21,240
Speaker 1: get weggies, we're the only ones. I think it's you

1402
01:05:21,440 --> 01:05:23,520
Speaker 1: actually who picks because over the years we haven't really

1403
01:05:23,600 --> 01:05:26,240
Speaker 1: picked a Hey, it's this guy's weggie, Like the defense

1404
01:05:26,320 --> 01:05:27,840
Speaker 1: really who contributes, Well.

1405
01:05:27,760 --> 01:05:30,000
Speaker 4: I mean, if a guy blocks the weggie in to me,

1406
01:05:30,240 --> 01:05:32,520
Speaker 4: he gets credit for the wedgies. Otherwise the weggie doesn't have.

1407
01:05:32,760 --> 01:05:32,920
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1408
01:05:33,040 --> 01:05:33,200
Speaker 4: Sure.

1409
01:05:33,480 --> 01:05:34,080
Speaker 2: The ones where it.

1410
01:05:34,080 --> 01:05:36,760
Speaker 4: Gets difficult is like the like sort of that Embeid

1411
01:05:36,800 --> 01:05:39,720
Speaker 4: free throw miss free throw one. It's like it's two guys,

1412
01:05:39,800 --> 01:05:42,280
Speaker 4: sometimes three guys jostling for a rebound, and it's like

1413
01:05:42,760 --> 01:05:44,280
Speaker 4: them doing that gets it stuck in there.

1414
01:05:44,320 --> 01:05:45,560
Speaker 2: It's like, I don't know who the hell do you

1415
01:05:45,600 --> 01:05:48,200
Speaker 2: give that one to? Yeah, so that's when we get

1416
01:05:48,240 --> 01:05:51,560
Speaker 2: like the we zoom in enhance, who touched it? Who

1417
01:05:51,680 --> 01:05:52,320
Speaker 2: really forced it?

1418
01:05:52,600 --> 01:05:56,880
Speaker 1: Yeah? The Keegan Murray one's definitely on defense, great defense.

1419
01:05:57,160 --> 01:05:59,480
Speaker 1: Maybe we should have an offensive Weggie of the Year

1420
01:05:59,520 --> 01:06:02,960
Speaker 1: and a defense Oh wow wow, Okay, Gig was good.

1421
01:06:03,440 --> 01:06:05,440
Speaker 1: He was good at that. Are the King's going to

1422
01:06:05,480 --> 01:06:10,000
Speaker 1: be good this year? I don't know. It's an interesting team, man.
