1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,279
Speaker 1: Who are you taking in a half court shooting contest

2
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 1: between Dame Lillard and Steph Curry best of twenty shots.

3
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:08,880
Speaker 1: So that's a tough question. Stand and there shooting twenty

4
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:11,039
Speaker 1: from half court. I'm going with Dane. I think you

5
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 1: had more legs for all twent At the end of

6
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:15,240
Speaker 1: the day, if I had to bet, I wouldn't because

7
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:19,280
Speaker 1: you're gonna lose either way. He's made more long distance

8
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:21,800
Speaker 1: shots than Steff than anyone of the NBA. But then Steff,

9
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 1: but one day Steph can win, the next day Dame

10
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,079
Speaker 1: pullin and back and forth two of the best long

11
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 1: distance than pere shooters we've ever seen in this game.

12
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 1: We got a special What's Burning update. We're on set

13
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 1: right now, but some key things happened um in the

14
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 1: past few days that we had to address before we

15
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 1: put our show out tonight. So first and foremost, Lebron

16
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 1: James high ankle sprain word is without three to four

17
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 1: weeks Jack, what does this? Due to the Lakers expectations

18
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 1: and playoff Pushkasa put a them on a light on

19
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 1: a little light that they had there um a d down,

20
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: not having the King down. Who's having an m v

21
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: P year? Uh, it kind of put it puts a

22
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 1: damper on the team. You're still trying to make trades

23
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: to figure it out. So I'm just expecting Lebron to

24
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: go to his lab, take the shots and everything they

25
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 1: do to get him back to being the king, and

26
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: he'll be back in no time. But it definitely puts

27
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: a darker light on the organization, considering eight has already

28
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: been down. Jack, because if the Glasses you got to

29
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 1: got you like real coming, like real gentleman is this

30
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 1: morning because you're just getting with the sophistication today and

31
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 1: your answers are nice and smooth and that kind of ship.

32
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 1: Is that the Glasses home do a live man? I

33
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: think it's I think just where I'm at, it where

34
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 1: I'm met in my life right now. You know what,

35
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 1: I'm just getting money. Come on, man, you know we're

36
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: getting it for the Lakers. To me, obviously a major hit. Um,

37
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: your two best players are down, But I think this

38
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: is a talented enough team from a standpoint of once

39
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: they get back, it doesn't really matter what their seed

40
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: is right now, the third in the West, Um, I

41
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: see them dropping maybe two three seeds. Um. But at

42
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: the same time, the most important thing is to get

43
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: Brown fully healthy and a d fully healthy for this

44
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: playoff push with the trade deadline looming, I still obviously

45
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: think they're actively in the market looking for a big

46
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 1: I don't think that changes um, and to me, the

47
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,639
Speaker 1: most important thing is they get healthy with their two

48
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: stars heading into the playoffs. Next up, another unfortunate situation,

49
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: LaMelo Ball goes down last night with a fractured wrist um.

50
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: They're saying he could be done for the season right now,

51
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 1: Charlotte's in the A spot and he's the head candidate

52
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 1: for Rookie the Year. Uh, first, do they make the playoffs?

53
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,239
Speaker 1: And does your Rookie of the Year sneak up and

54
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,799
Speaker 1: actually take Rookie the Year? Now that that that LaMelo's down,

55
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: I don't think they make the playoffs without him. I

56
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: think what he's established as being the leader of that team,

57
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: the best player on the team, to get the guy

58
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: that gets everybody going. He's established that as a rookie,

59
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 1: and I think all of a sudden, with everything he's

60
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 1: built for that organization this year, it kind of it

61
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: kind of goes backwards with not having him on the

62
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: line in the lineup. So I definitely don't see them

63
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:56,359
Speaker 1: making the playoffs, but it does give Edwards more room

64
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: to win, a better chance to win the to win

65
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: a Rookie of the Year. I think I having a

66
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 1: Mellow in the game right now, but it's just having

67
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: a great year. But not having Mellow in the game

68
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:06,799
Speaker 1: right now, not just to Charlotte, it just hurts the

69
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 1: game of basketball. Yeah, I think the Melo is right

70
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 1: near sixteen points a game, seven rebounds, seven assists, um.

71
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,079
Speaker 1: And I agree. I think his energy, um, his confidence,

72
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: the way he plays. I think that team has kind

73
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: of taken on his swag and to lose him is

74
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 1: gonna be a huge hit. Obviously, they still got Heyward

75
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: and Rosier and some guys, but like I said, I

76
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: think Mellow is a heart and soul of that team,

77
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 1: and they were sitting on the cusp at eight. UM.

78
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: I think they'll still mess around to be in the

79
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: playoffs seven through ten playing games, but I don't see them,

80
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: uh making the playoffs unfortunately either. And uh, you know,

81
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: with Lamello being my pick for Rookie of the Year,

82
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 1: UM going down right now, with you know a handful

83
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: of games left, UM, I definitely think that's gonna hurt

84
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: him and and look for Edwards to probably come in

85
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: and winnipp I don't even think it's gonna be given

86
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: to him, because I could definitely say Edwards has been

87
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 1: balling of late. You know, he dropped a forty ball,

88
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: really starting to come into his own. So I loved

89
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: with the Rookie of the Year race was heading to

90
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: towards the end of the season. But you know, injuries

91
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: are a part of the season. So this will be

92
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: you know, minor setback for a major comeback next year.

93
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: And man Lamello lived up to all expectations. I think

94
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: exceeded them this year in his rookie years, So I'm

95
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: excited to see what the future holds. Well, that's it,

96
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 1: you guys, make sure you enjoy What's Burning today and

97
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: we'll see y'all next week. Welcome back to What's Burning

98
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 1: Busy week ahead, Jack. We start off with Miami and

99
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: Phoenix to the hottest teams UH in the league. Miami

100
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 1: has struggled mightily without Jimmy Butler. H He's been back.

101
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,919
Speaker 1: He's been on in terror, got them back in the

102
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: playoff hunt. Phoenix has been just as hot. Thoughts on

103
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: this matchup. You got a team that was just in

104
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 1: the finals. They're finally getting healthy. They're starting the role

105
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: playing good. They got their start back. Phoenix has been

106
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: playing well. Man. They're trying to make a big step

107
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 1: in the Western carpas and uh put themselves in a

108
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: good playoff position. So I'm excited to see this game

109
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:51,479
Speaker 1: and to see our pans out. I think it's definitely

110
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: gonna be a big game. Like I said, Miami just

111
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: need to get hot at the right time. You said

112
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: they're getting healthy. They go as Jimmy goes. If we

113
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 1: said all season, shoutout CP and book what they've been

114
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: doing over there in Phoenix. Um, the way Jimmy has

115
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: been playing, He's at nearly twenty seven or twenty six

116
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 1: points a game, seven rebounds, and eight assist during this

117
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: hot streak. Has he moved himself into m v P conversation.

118
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: I love Jimmy, but for m v P, you gotta

119
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 1: do it all season. Guys like Kyrie, guys like Lebron

120
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 1: been doing it all season, so he gotta get in

121
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 1: that category. Next up, Celtics and Bucks. Boston got them

122
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: on Opening night. Boston has been striving a little bit,

123
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 1: but I think they're gonna turn the corner. Post All Star,

124
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 1: Janice has been on a tear thoughts on this game.

125
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: Both teams are starting to get in the playoff for him,

126
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: both teams are playing better than they did before All

127
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 1: Start Break. I think Greek Freak is on another level

128
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 1: right now. Like you said, he is the Chatter and

129
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 1: he is playing another level. He's tired of being a

130
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: regular season m VP. He wants to be a postseason

131
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 1: m VP, and we'll see how he plays, but right

132
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 1: now he's on another Level's gonna be an interesting game.

133
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: He's been putting up video game numbers for the last

134
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,280
Speaker 1: halfful of years, two time m v P. But as

135
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 1: you said, the Chatter wants to see it in the playoffs.

136
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: So I'm excited to see if he's ready to take

137
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,359
Speaker 1: his game to the next level. He definitely looks like it,

138
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 1: and I feel, like I said earlier, I feel like

139
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 1: Boston's turned in the corner. They got the young kid

140
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: Williams playing in the middlemore Marcus smartest back, Kimba has

141
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 1: been a little more consistent, and you already know what

142
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 1: you're gonna get with Brown and Tatum. So I'm looking

143
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: for Boston to to UH to get this one, but

144
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 1: they also played twice this week, so I think it's

145
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 1: gonna be a nice little UH two games series and

146
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:27,840
Speaker 1: excited to watch next up. UH Sixers head out West.

147
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: They got the Lakers and then they got the Clippers.

148
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: UH too tough matchups. What do you expect from this game?

149
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: These teams are still trying to, you know, figure out

150
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: and how and figure out what players are they gonna

151
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 1: have coming at the end of the season. So it's

152
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 1: gonna be a game of survival. But these type of

153
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: games when you miss the star players, I like them

154
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: because you you see other guys get a chance to

155
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,799
Speaker 1: step up, and both teams are easily matched. Yeah, speaking

156
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 1: of stepping up, Tobias Harrison and and Ben Simmons have

157
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:55,679
Speaker 1: both been stepping up in the absence of Ebid. Obviously

158
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 1: you definitely need Inbeid, who's has been playing well UM

159
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,279
Speaker 1: over this stretch since a d has been UM. But

160
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,280
Speaker 1: obviously both teams need their bigs to be UM at

161
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: their best level, and this could possibly be if something

162
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: happens with Brooklyn a finals matchup. Then on Thursday, Doc

163
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: returns to play against the Clippers for the first time.

164
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: Clippers are really struggling right now. Obviously, I think they

165
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: need to address their point guard situation. UM, defenses struggled,

166
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 1: shooting is struggled. Kauai has dressed concerns on being consistent.

167
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: UM thoughts on the Clippers and also this match up,

168
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a good matchup. UM. Like you said,

169
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: the Clippers trying to address their point guard concerns. I

170
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: think when they do that, and if they do get

171
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: a chance to get a guy like lonsgo Ball, they're

172
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 1: really gonna be off and running. UM. But it's this

173
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 1: is one of those games, you know what what both teams,

174
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: you know, really hate each other, and both teams want

175
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 1: to win in that building. I think the advantage that

176
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: the Clippers have that they have both of their stars

177
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 1: and uh, there's no reason Nation Pullers went out. But

178
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 1: at the same time, like I said, these both teams

179
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: still trying to figure it out. There's a lot of

180
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: teams and is in this situation where they're trying to

181
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: outs why the end of the season and they run

182
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 1: out of time. I like how you snuck that Alonzo

183
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: ball to the Clippers in there? That would be interesting,

184
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: That would be definitely interesting. I mean, they just need

185
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: a playmaker. Like they said, we both love Pat Beverley,

186
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 1: you know the way he plays. But to me, your

187
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: your point guard has to be a playmaker and a

188
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: score or at least one or the other. And that's

189
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: just not his strengths as a starting point guard. So

190
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 1: coming down the stretch with the trade deadline looming, we'll

191
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: see what happens next. Up Hawks and Warriors trade versus

192
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 1: steph Uh Teacher Verse student Hawkstar Hot. Since Nate McMillan

193
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,839
Speaker 1: is taking over, playing really well, Trey has been doing

194
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 1: his thing, but he's got he's woken up. Gallinari. Gallinari?

195
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 1: Is that nearly twenty points a game since Nate McMillan

196
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,959
Speaker 1: is taken over, and we know what STEP's been doing

197
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 1: all season? Uh, twenty nine points a game. Draymond is

198
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 1: starting to find his rhythm at about nine eight and

199
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 1: nine over this last stretch playing solid defense, rebounded well.

200
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,079
Speaker 1: Thoughts on this two superstar point guards we'll see in

201
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: this matchup, as these the matchups I look forward to seeing,

202
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 1: you know, Big Steff against Baby Steff ice trade. You

203
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: know they play, They got both similar games. Um, they're

204
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,199
Speaker 1: they're they're both exciting to watch. Both teams are are

205
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: fighting to being a playoff position. But I love what

206
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 1: Nick mac millan is doing with these young guys, teaching them,

207
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: giving him some veteran leadership from experience from on the

208
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 1: court and off the court, and just got him going

209
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: in the right direction. It's gonna be good to see. Yeah.

210
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 1: Like I said, I think this Warrior team, Obviously Steph

211
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: is the star, but I think this team goes as

212
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 1: Draymond goes, and he's starting to pick up his play

213
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 1: and you're seeing, you know result, you know, if the

214
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:31,959
Speaker 1: team kind of picking their confidence up in play as well.

215
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 1: So this will definitely be a nice matchup seeing those

216
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 1: two point guards. Next up, MAVs Pelicans. MAVs have been

217
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 1: hot climbing their way up the Western Conference playoff race.

218
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 1: UM Pelicans seventh raked offensive season. I really like this

219
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 1: young Pelicans team. Man. I mean, Zion is a monster,

220
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 1: Brandon Eagram as a dog. When Zoe gets loose, they're dangerous.

221
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 1: This is a really fun young team UM to watch.

222
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 1: Luca has been Luca showing why he will probably be

223
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 1: the face of the league at some point during his career.

224
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: Thoughts on this matchup, It's an ex sighted matchup two

225
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,439
Speaker 1: young stars, Luca and Zion. I think the level of

226
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 1: Lucas on right now, I think Zion is still trying

227
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:15,679
Speaker 1: to get that. As far as a team, I think

228
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: Lucas gonna Willis, willis team to a good position where

229
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 1: they could be in the playoffs and and try to

230
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 1: make an upset or do something big. I think Zion

231
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,199
Speaker 1: is still trying to figure it out. Yeah, he's the

232
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: leader of his team, but it's more than be a leader,

233
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: than just being the star player, of being the player

234
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: with the big name. He's playing well. He has to

235
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,199
Speaker 1: get more vocal, he has to do more things as

236
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 1: far as being the leader. And I think Lucas inherited

237
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 1: that easily from playing overseas since he's been a kid,

238
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 1: a young teenager and he's showing on the court. Yeah,

239
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: I would think with the leadership, Zion definitely has some

240
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 1: growing to do, still young, but that may not even

241
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 1: be his role on this team. You know, they've got

242
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 1: guys like Aaron Blood, so you know they Brandon brandon

243
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: ingram Um, you know probably some other guys that we

244
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: don't know how they are in the locker room. But

245
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 1: this is definitely gonna be a fun match up. I

246
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 1: love what Zion has been able to do. He's breaking

247
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: records left and right for field goal percentage and and

248
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 1: just how dominant he is. And people say, you know,

249
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: they don't understand that he give him another two, three,

250
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,559
Speaker 1: four years, when I think when he comes down maybe

251
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 1: ten or fifteen pounds and really learns the game. Right now,

252
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 1: he's just playing off pure strength, athleticism and speed and

253
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 1: he can't be stopped. Like I've seen him run over,

254
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 1: you know, chest to chest with some of the biggest

255
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 1: dudes in the league and he comes out on top.

256
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: So I'm excited to see his development and growth. Obviously, Luca,

257
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 1: we know what Luca is about, but I'm excited to

258
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 1: see what Zion's development is going to be about. And

259
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: I love the way stan Van Gundy's using them to um,

260
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 1: you know, in the pick and rolls and and and

261
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 1: initiating offense too. So I think the sky's the limit

262
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 1: for his on I'm excited to see what his next

263
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 1: few years are like. But this will definitely be a

264
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 1: great matchup. Next up on the Radar, presented to you

265
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:50,199
Speaker 1: by DraftKings Wednesday night, we have a matchup of the

266
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 1: Eastern and Western Conference leaders. That's Utah versus Brooklyn. Uh

267
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 1: Nets are a plus three hundred to win the championship

268
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: this year, as are plus eight hundred to win the title.

269
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 1: Who's a better bet in your opinion, Jack, I'm going

270
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 1: with the next man. I like to secure bets. Man,

271
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 1: you know they got a solid team, Katie, just resting

272
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 1: all year. I'm going with I'm going with the next man.

273
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 1: I just I just like the side of best. If

274
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 1: you're gonna gamble, take the solid ones now. I definitely

275
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 1: feel that. Obviously, the odds are you know you're gonna

276
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,199
Speaker 1: win more money with Utah, but I just don't trust

277
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 1: Utah yet to make these steps. I gotta see what

278
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: they can do in the finals. Obviously, great regular season

279
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 1: team ball, moving, three point shooting, everyone playing the role.

280
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 1: I love what they're doing, but I need to see

281
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 1: it in the playoffs. Um, all these guys have done

282
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 1: it in the playoffs. And and also but one of

283
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: the main guys who's really been killing of late James Hardened.

284
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,199
Speaker 1: This is gonna be a big opportunity for him in

285
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 1: the playoffs too, because his playoff reputation has not lived

286
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 1: up to people's expectations. He's a killer. Yeah, he's a

287
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 1: killer in the regular season, and yes, I wanted to

288
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 1: touch on that. To me, he's closest to Lebron in

289
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:56,959
Speaker 1: in in the m v P race. You know, some

290
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 1: people may I think Dame Lillard has stepped up in

291
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 1: that space two, but I want to put James right there,

292
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: neck and neck with what Lebron has been doing because

293
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 1: the way he's come over and completely transformed this team

294
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 1: with two other superstars. Although Katie has been down a lot,

295
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 1: James has been absolutely amazing. Man. So this is gonna

296
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 1: be a great matchup. Who you got in this matchup?

297
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 1: I'm excited to every time they're on TV. Man, I'm

298
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 1: in front of with my popcorn. Oh you said Blake

299
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 1: Griffin too. I'm excited. I really hope, you know, as

300
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 1: a former teammate and a friend of Blake, that he's healthy,

301
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 1: because I mean, he doesn't have to be lob City

302
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: Blake by any means, but if he can be Blake,

303
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 1: it's about fifteen sixteen points a game, seven rebounds, four

304
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 1: or five assists. You're gonna see them in the finals,

305
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 1: I think, so definitely excited. Think it's gonna be a

306
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 1: good game, and I also got the nets for the

307
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,679
Speaker 1: two reasons you said. I mean, there's they're two superstars

308
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:48,199
Speaker 1: are playing on another level right now, and you know,

309
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 1: looking forward to this game. Top of fan questions, y'all,

310
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:55,679
Speaker 1: first question the Cato Show. Can you tell everyone high

311
00:13:55,720 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 1: unstoppable Shack was in his prime? Oh oh, unbelievable, the

312
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 1: most dominant force this game has ever seen, bar none,

313
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 1: with all due respect to rest in peace to Wor Chamberlain.

314
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 1: The most dominant figure we have seen and may ever

315
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 1: see um. The things he can do with the ball

316
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 1: at his size, his strength, his speed. I mean we

317
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 1: don't see Jack, We don't see no one let a

318
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 1: little breaking backboards, but pulling whole stanchions down anymore. And

319
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 1: he used to do that ship on the regular, you know.

320
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 1: So Shaq is one of the greatest players we've ever

321
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: seen and the most dominant force in the game by

322
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 1: far man, I've never seen the guy that size dribble

323
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 1: the ball up to call full speed and dunk and

324
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: everybody get out the way like Shaq was different. The

325
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 1: most dominant player in the game. I know people talk

326
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 1: about Will like you said, rest in peace to him,

327
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 1: but from my eyes from being actually on that court

328
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 1: and seeing there's never been a person that as dominant

329
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: a shack And the one thing I loved about Shaq too.

330
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 1: He was so big and strong, but he didn't give

331
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 1: a fuck like he would I wouldn't call it dirty.

332
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: It was just old school mentality. I remember him telling,

333
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 1: you know, like if a guard was cooking, he would

334
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 1: tell the the guy who's garden him, let him come

335
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: to the pain. I'm gonna put him down. I mean

336
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 1: to do that. And that's a big motherfucker man. So

337
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 1: shout out Shock. He's coming on the show soon. Uh

338
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 1: A great, great question. Next up, DeAndre Shysty. Would Lebron

339
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 1: have been a top three player in the nineties, Oh

340
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 1: tough question. I mean, if Lebron is built the same way,

341
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 1: with the same mind frame and the same attitude, he'll

342
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 1: be a top three player any time. Obviously, the physicality

343
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 1: was different, so I think he'll have to adapt to that.

344
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 1: He'll probably have to get in a couple of fights

345
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: in the nineties and make sure people don't mess with him.

346
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 1: I'm sure you're gonna have guys on the standard protect him.

347
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 1: But as talented as he is, as gifted as Lebron

348
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 1: is as smart and as intelligent as he is, as

349
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 1: much as a leader as he is any era, he

350
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 1: would be top three in my mind. I will agree

351
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 1: with you. I would like to see Lebron actually in

352
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 1: that late eighties early nineties era because I've always thought

353
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 1: and as big, as as strong as Lebron, he doesn't

354
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 1: really use it as much as he can, you know

355
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 1: what I mean. I think if he played in the

356
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 1: air where he had to use his physical strength as well,

357
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 1: holy ship, because he's finessed. I mean he's strong, don't

358
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 1: get me wrong, he's a freight train. But if he

359
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 1: had to play in that other that other those other

360
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 1: generations where he had to be physical look out. But

361
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 1: I completely agree with you. Any air Lebron played in,

362
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 1: he's top three. Who would be the other two? Though?

363
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 1: So you would have what I mean, Jordan's up there,

364
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 1: Magic bird Um or Baby Shock. There's so there's some

365
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 1: there's some people in that nineties early early nineties are

366
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 1: at least uh that would have been interesting. Next question,

367
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 1: Young King KP who has the brightest future in the

368
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 1: NBA right now? I still think kV is gonna take

369
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 1: a run um at being the face of the league.

370
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 1: But if I had to pick one player with the

371
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 1: brightest future, I say Luca, considering his age, considering what

372
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 1: he's already done, and considering, you know, just every game

373
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 1: getting better her, I would Uh, I would pick Luca.

374
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 1: You know what, man, It's it's kind of hard to

375
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 1: go against LUKEA Like you said, you got Katie, you

376
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 1: got Kyrie, you got you got a lot of players

377
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 1: that's gonna hold it down when Lebron steps away. But

378
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 1: the brightest feature is definitely Luca by far. Next up,

379
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 1: Dollo Harris, best thing you've experienced as a result of

380
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 1: becoming a professional athlete during our post career? I think

381
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,919
Speaker 1: the best thing I've experienced during my career. You know,

382
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 1: I was able to take care of my family and

383
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:29,119
Speaker 1: change my life being a better situation. Uh and uh,

384
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,919
Speaker 1: you know, just really just make our lives better. Post career,

385
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,199
Speaker 1: I was I've been able to show people and do

386
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 1: things that people said I couldn't. You know, I'm I'm

387
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 1: in a position now and doing things that nobody expected

388
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 1: me to do. And I have a lot we have

389
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 1: a lot of things in stores. So I think post

390
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 1: career is bigger for me because I'm doing a lot

391
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 1: of things that people didn't expect and and and I'm

392
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 1: finding I'm finding myself. You know, I never put myself

393
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 1: in the box, and I never knew I could do

394
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 1: so many things. But you know what I'm saying, after

395
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,399
Speaker 1: basketball was showing me that I was putting myself in

396
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 1: the box doing basketball. That's what's up, bro. You gotta

397
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 1: you got an award winning podcast you're a host of.

398
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:10,120
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. That best experience. I think obviously

399
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 1: you touched on it. You know, the ability to be

400
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 1: able to provide for our families and our close friends

401
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:19,159
Speaker 1: travel the world, and then the opportunities that indoors that

402
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 1: opened from playing now in the post career, and obviously

403
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 1: I think you touched on that too. You know, just

404
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:27,119
Speaker 1: the opportunities have been insane um, not only from this show,

405
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 1: but just other projects I've been working on and opportunities

406
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,199
Speaker 1: I've been working on. And I think this show has

407
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 1: a lot to do with it because I think people

408
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 1: get a chance to see who we really are, how

409
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 1: out there and how real we are, and doors continue

410
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 1: to open um from this experience. So um, I've been

411
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 1: living a dream And think, man, I played you know

412
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,439
Speaker 1: fifteen years got to play a game and make a

413
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 1: bunch of money off it. And now I'm talking ship,

414
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 1: talking ship and getting paid and smoking weed and getting

415
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 1: paid like you gave me. I can't beat it. Can't

416
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 1: beat it, man, Absolute blessing. Next question, W. T. Locklear.

417
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 1: I've seen both of you with your kids as a

418
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 1: new dad. What's the piece of advice you would want

419
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 1: to know? Starting out? Sleep when your kids sleep, if

420
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 1: you're able to um, that was something I tried to learn.

421
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 1: Take naps, when they take naps, because kids are draining, man,

422
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 1: kids are draining. And you know, I started over after

423
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:16,920
Speaker 1: having the twins who are twelve. Now I got a

424
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 1: two year old that runs the house, runs the house,

425
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 1: naked your quick story. I was shooting a documentary over

426
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 1: here the other day and Ashes eating breakfast, and all

427
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: of a sudden, when when the dudes knocked on the

428
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 1: door started bringing the ship, and Ashes went on this

429
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,160
Speaker 1: ship terror like. He just kept saying ship. He said

430
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 1: ship like twenty times, and his brothers and sisters started laughing,

431
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 1: so he kept going. So they're walking in setting up everything.

432
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 1: You hear two year old just saying shit, shit ship.

433
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 1: I'm like, yo, what the fuck? But yeah, that might

434
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:47,439
Speaker 1: be my thing. Man, enjoy it because it goes fast,

435
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:54,159
Speaker 1: and sleep when the baby sleep. My advice to you, uh,

436
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 1: if you're with the mom, always be the bigger person.

437
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 1: If you're not with the mom, remember for the kids.

438
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 1: Do whatever you can for the kid. Don't ever let

439
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,639
Speaker 1: anybody come between your relationship with her. Always been a

440
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,120
Speaker 1: bigger person. And remember it's about the child. There's not

441
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 1: nothing is about nothing else but the child. And if

442
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,880
Speaker 1: you continue to keep in your heart and your focus

443
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 1: and your passion and your love about the child and

444
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:19,120
Speaker 1: not the nonsense. Hey, bro, you in get hands. Hey

445
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: you're a professional baby mama speaking expert, and I'm I'm

446
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: professional baby dad. I'm right behind you. The black underscore

447
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 1: cow underscore. L Who are you taking in a half

448
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 1: court shooting contest between Dame Lillard and Steph Curry best

449
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 1: of twenty shots? Oh that's a tough question. I think

450
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 1: just shooting standing there shooting twenty uh from half court.

451
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 1: I'm going with Dane. I think not. I'm not saying

452
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 1: step can't make him. I just feel Dames a little stronger.

453
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 1: The way he's built, He'll have a little more stabbing

454
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 1: than those twenty shots, I think I think he had

455
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 1: more legs for for all two and out, step will

456
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,119
Speaker 1: kind of fade away a little bit. You know what

457
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Dame a little stronger. But at the end

458
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,360
Speaker 1: of the day, if I had to bet, I wouldn't

459
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 1: because you're gonna lose. Yeah. First of all, yeah, yeah,

460
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:12,879
Speaker 1: that was really my answer. First of all, I'm not

461
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 1: betting this because whenever it's really a flip of a coin.

462
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 1: I think, just depending on the day, who wins. But

463
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 1: people don't know. I think Dame has the most long

464
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,119
Speaker 1: distance shot. I don't want to give the exact stacks

465
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:24,679
Speaker 1: I remember, but I remember I was watching the game

466
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,680
Speaker 1: of the night. He's made more long distance shots than

467
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 1: anyone than then Steff, than anyone in the NBA. But

468
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,400
Speaker 1: then Steff, But you made a great point about stamina

469
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:35,880
Speaker 1: and being a little stronger. I think in a game

470
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 1: setting from just pulling, I might take Step but it's

471
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:43,640
Speaker 1: just a straight shooting contest from just pull up jumpers,

472
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: I'm probably gonna take Dame. But I wouldn't bet this because,

473
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 1: like I said, it's one day Steph can win, the

474
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:51,399
Speaker 1: next day Dame can win, and back and forth. Two

475
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 1: of the best long distance and pure shooters we've ever

476
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:57,639
Speaker 1: seen in this game. The next guests coming up Thursday,

477
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 1: March is our brother You done this, Hassler Man, great dude,

478
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 1: uh Man, I think eighteenth or nineteen year in the league,

479
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 1: deep in the game, but shout out here for surviving

480
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 1: and doing what he has to do. Here's a quick teaser,

481
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 1: hope you enjoy. What was Jimmy like? Whats he got

482
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 1: to the team? We had the Weight on our show

483
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 1: and d Way said that Man was a perfect marriage

484
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 1: for Jimmy. Perfect perfect. I had got a chance to

485
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 1: meet Jimmy and go out to dinner with Jimmy one

486
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 1: time with d Wade Man and just getting a chance

487
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 1: to understand Jimmy. Man. The first thing people think about

488
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,119
Speaker 1: Jimmy is that, oh he listened to countrybut he might

489
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 1: he must be weird. Ain't nothing weird. Ain't nothing weird

490
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 1: about Jimmy. Jimmy and I listen to it too. I

491
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 1: know I'm too. I'm happy to be weird. I do too.

492
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 1: And Jimmy want us more as any more anybody. He

493
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: want us. You know what I'm saying. If you get

494
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:44,880
Speaker 1: a chance to sit down and you get a chance

495
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 1: to shop it up with Jimmy. And you understand, Jimmy,

496
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 1: you know where you're coming from. Jimmy, just keep everything

497
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:51,400
Speaker 1: coach to him. He ain't wide open with his ain't

498
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:53,119
Speaker 1: or wide open with his friendship. He ain't got a

499
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,200
Speaker 1: lot of friends. He ain't running his mouth out head

500
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 1: telling all his business. My respect that and I appreciate

501
00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:59,880
Speaker 1: that man. And what like I tell people all the time,

502
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 1: if you put a dog I side, he's gonna go

503
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 1: around and go on your trash can and tell your

504
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 1: yard up, and you're gonna come out in the morning

505
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 1: and ship gonna be in shambles. You put him in

506
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 1: the candle with when you put him in the kenna

507
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 1: with other dogs, he's gonna make a pet. And that's

508
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 1: what he did. He came down here with us and

509
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 1: he made a pet. Just how it looked too when

510
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,400
Speaker 1: he first came and you guys, the team got going.

511
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 1: You know you hear people spoke to his work ethic

512
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 1: and he was going in and two or three in

513
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 1: the morning getting working. How refreshing for you someone who

514
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 1: works hard to this day to see another star come

515
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 1: in new to the team, but have that kind of

516
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 1: work ethic and and and passion for the game man

517
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 1: that gave me a new life because it gave me.

518
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:43,880
Speaker 1: It gave me more opportunities and more reason to work.

519
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,239
Speaker 1: You know, people don't understand like me and Jimmy got

520
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 1: a routine that we go through, you know, before the games.

521
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:50,440
Speaker 1: Now you know, it wasn't something we did in the

522
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 1: bubble because of the circumstances. But you know, it's something

523
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 1: we were able to do a couple of times before

524
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:56,959
Speaker 1: the bubble, and it's something that we're able to engage

525
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 1: in now, you know what I'm saying. So once again

526
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,360
Speaker 1: I've been rein I needed and and just reinvent myself.

527
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 1: You know with these new guys that's coming in, and

528
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:06,639
Speaker 1: you know the routine and me and Jimmy got it

529
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 1: also helps me stay in shaping. It also helps me

530
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 1: stay sharp, so you know, his work ethic and people

531
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 1: think that I'm always pushing these guys and these guys

532
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 1: are leaving me. But you know, sometimes it's good to

533
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 1: be a soldier and sometimes good to be a general,

534
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So you know I've got

535
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 1: situations where I'm right, I'm following Jimmy. You know what

536
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 1: I'm saying that he leaves me and it's helping me.

537
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:27,399
Speaker 1: We have the trade deadline looming. I think there's a

538
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,439
Speaker 1: few teams, are a handful of teams that can make

539
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 1: some moves to can really be impactful heading towards the playoffs. Jack,

540
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 1: who's your team or your a couple of teams you

541
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:36,680
Speaker 1: feel like you need to make a move heading into

542
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 1: this trade that life well, I would say, Philly, you

543
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 1: know what I mean with with with them being being

544
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:43,119
Speaker 1: uh down right now, you might want to get a

545
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:45,720
Speaker 1: security blanket. Bringing with the markets cousins in for cheap,

546
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 1: bring somebody else in for cheap. But I'm really going

547
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 1: towards the Clippers. They need a point guard. They need

548
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:51,640
Speaker 1: to win the championship, they need to get to the finals,

549
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 1: and they need a point guard. Alzo Ball That's that's

550
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,359
Speaker 1: l a kid. He belongs in l A. Hey, everybody

551
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:00,159
Speaker 1: said belong to l A but it's two to ames

552
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 1: in l a. It might didn't work with the Lakers.

553
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 1: I think what the Clippers have there a point guard

554
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:05,920
Speaker 1: that can come make plays, the Jason kidds type guy.

555
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 1: It'll be similar to Jason Kidd when he was in

556
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,159
Speaker 1: New Jersey when he had Richard Jefferson and Ky Martin's

557
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,239
Speaker 1: and Vince Carter. This would be fun to see. So

558
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 1: I'll getting to the Clippers. I think that'd be a

559
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 1: good move for them and answer all the questions not

560
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 1: and here all the problems. Ball to the Clippers, Yes, yes, yes,

561
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:25,879
Speaker 1: I mean the ball to the Clippers that Kyle Lowry

562
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 1: could definitely help the Clippers. I think there's two teams,

563
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 1: in my opinion, actually three. I don't think Utah is

564
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:33,679
Speaker 1: gonna make a move. I think they're pretty set on

565
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 1: their team and think But to me, I think that's

566
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 1: what's that's I think that's gonna be my knocking. People

567
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 1: are gonna say, why are you talking they're topping the West.

568
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 1: I feel you I got to see it in the

569
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 1: playoffs and we got to see if the rest of

570
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 1: that team can handle what the playoffs bring. Um. But

571
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with the Lakers one. I think the

572
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 1: Lakers need an athletic big I think drumming to the

573
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,639
Speaker 1: Lakers would be crazy. But I'm also hearing they're the

574
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 1: chance of drumming could go to the Clippers, so that

575
00:25:56,320 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 1: would be crazy. Um. And then Brooklyn, I think Brooklyn

576
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 1: needs to give DeAndre some help. I think Deandre's playing

577
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 1: been playing great since James has come along. He looks

578
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 1: like the old DJ, kind of finding his spots to

579
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:11,879
Speaker 1: affect the game and holding down the middle of the paint.

580
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 1: But I feel like they need another big you know,

581
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 1: there's guys that that young King that yeah he's been

582
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 1: playing well, yeah he's balling. Like I said, do you

583
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 1: can you trust him for a long period of time

584
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 1: in the playoffs? You know? Like I said that, But actually, Jack,

585
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,400
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, the playoffs are so different now,

586
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. It's not like he's gonna

587
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 1: have to go into uh Milwaukee in a sold out arena,

588
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:39,439
Speaker 1: or go to Toronto or Miami. What I sold out,

589
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 1: There's gonna be motherfucking two hundred people in the stands.

590
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:43,879
Speaker 1: It's gonna be like a you game, you know what

591
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,400
Speaker 1: I mean. So, like I said, I think we might

592
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,680
Speaker 1: kind of have to just at least during this pandemic.

593
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 1: You know, maybe the playoffs are are ship the same

594
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:52,879
Speaker 1: as the regular season, you know what I mean, Because

595
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:54,440
Speaker 1: like I said, the only thing that made this ship

596
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 1: different for us was we're playing in front of pack stadiums.

597
00:26:57,720 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 1: You know. I mean, you're not playing in front of

598
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,199
Speaker 1: a home packs adium or a road pack stadium, so

599
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:04,160
Speaker 1: really that ship is between your head, so you fire

600
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 1: up real quick and get your mind right for the game.

601
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 1: You could be straight. Don't do that. That's just what

602
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 1: we did. I'm just saying, I think the trade deadline looming. Uh,

603
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 1: look for teams to make moves. Uh, look for maybe

604
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,439
Speaker 1: a big name or two to make a move. Uh.

605
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:23,199
Speaker 1: There's a list of guys who are kind of out there.

606
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 1: I'll go through them real quick because they can definitely

607
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:29,200
Speaker 1: add value. Kyra Lowry, Andre Drummond, Harrison Barnes, Victor Olwediepo,

608
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 1: John Collins, Aaron Gordon, Evan Fourgner, Hassan Whiteside. There's some

609
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,159
Speaker 1: quality players out there, and I'm sure there's a handful

610
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,800
