Speaker 1: To Okay, it's player that has email capabilities.

65
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,240

66
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 2: a rep?

67
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 3: Some? Well some that's the thing. Sometimes it's me directly

68
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 3: with the person and other times it's through a rep.

69
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:17,679
Speaker 3: So but but if I get this other player, he's

70
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 3: also a Hall of Famer. Okay, but yeah, we would

71
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 3: just We're just we would just calm the farm on

72
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 3: that one ferment. Okay.

73
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: I got one more question before we move on here,

74
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: because I was, as I said, I listened to the

75
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: podcast with James Worthy on Saturday that we posted a

76
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: lot of those cards. Okay, there wasn't a lot of duds.

77
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: I noticed in that pack of cards. I think you

78
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: were working with the ninety one ninety two hoops and

79
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, this is interesting. Every card is

80
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: a pretty somewhat big name that James will probably know,

81
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 1: maybe have a story about. Are you planting these damn packs?

82
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 3: Well, I say it's not. It's not the entire pack.

83
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 3: I get a pack and then look, if I've got

84
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 3: a UA Black been there, I'm like, I don't know

85
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 3: if there's too much to go with you a blab,

86
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 3: I just jeans really doesn't have an awesome It's true,

87
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 3: It's true that I don't. But I like in basketball

88
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 3: you have subs on the bench. All I do is

89
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 3: maybe I just want to sub in this guy and

90
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 3: stubb out that guy.

91
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,599
Speaker 1: Man, this is worse than finding out Magic Johnson doesn't

92
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:22,039
Speaker 1: tweet everything. Everything is big.

93
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 3: Well, it's it's not fake. I mean, they're real stories.

94
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 3: It's just you know, I just realized, like I was

95
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 3: talking to I can't. I think it's maybe Xavi McDaniel

96
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 3: and Donald Hodge came up and I'm like, yeah, we

97
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 3: don't need Donald Hodge. We don't need Donald Hodge. Let's

98
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 3: let's find Lee.

99
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 1: The series isn't called pop and packs removing crappy cards

100
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: putting in better ones from another pack. I popped a

101
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: couple hours earlier.

102
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 2: I'll be talking about the twelve best players. I know,

103
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 2: let's go.

104
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 1: Well, maybe you're making hey, maybe you're making the right decision.

105
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,840
Speaker 3: You're right, it's story times. Story time is what it is.

106
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 3: It's just sold as popping packs. You know what I'm saying,

107
00:04:58,360 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 3: right right, right right?

108
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:04,359
Speaker 1: Did you did you plant packs for like Cabby and Hallani,

109
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 1: Ariel Hawani and stuff like that?

110
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 3: Definitely not Ariel Hawani, No, because we opened two packs

111
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 3: with you know, yeah, Kabby.

112
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: No, Well because Cabby. The reason I asked is I

113
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 1: was like, these were easy like Cabby was killing it

114
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 1: on the hills, he was getting everybody, but I was like,

115
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 1: he didn't really get a hard player, Like he didn't

116
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: get a nil an remember.

117
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, But the thing is as well, I give them

118
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 3: fairly obvious hints like you know, hey, this guy is

119
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 3: the current coach of such and such or whatever. I mean,

120
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 3: you know, I don't. I don't make the hints as

121
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 3: hard as I do for you guys, because you know

122
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 3: you tend to you know, we have a bit more time,

123
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 3: we have a bit more fun with him and these ones.

124
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 3: I like, I want to get to the player, and

125
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 3: then I want to get to the story, you know

126
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,039
Speaker 3: what I'm saying. So it's not in the unmasking of

127
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 3: the player. It's more like, hopefully it's going to jog

128
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 3: their memory for a great story.

129
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 1: Okay, fair, Yeah, we are hints. Sorry they have email capabilities.

130
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 1: Were like, I don't know, I don't know.

164
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: All right, today, guys playing a little Is this news?

165
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: First one ESPN Lakers Lebron James to go without social

166
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: justice message on jersey tasks? Is this news?

167
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 2: This is newsworthy? And I'm a guy who thinks these

168
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 2: the phrases on players jerseys is largely symbolic. But I

169
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 2: just don't see why Lebron wouldn't do it. Why the

170
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 2: heck not? What harm can come from it? I think

171
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 2: only good can come from it. And so even though

172
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 2: as I said, they're sort of symbolic, I don't think

173
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 2: they're going to change anything. I think Lebron is doing

174
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 2: so much more off the floor with getting people to

175
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 2: vote with more than a vote initiative with his Ohio

176
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 2: school getting kids to college. Even what the NBPA is

177
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 2: doing with investigating and researching police departments around the country.

178
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 2: That's the kind of stuff that's going to change the

179
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 2: black community. And so a phrase on a jersey I

180
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 2: don't really think is going to change anything really, except

181
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 2: if Lebron has it on his jersey. We're talking about

182
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 2: the biggest player in the NBA here as well, I mean,

183
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 2: the most famous player in the NBA. I think let's

184
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 2: say he has it on his jersey in the middle

185
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 2: of a playoff game and a father and on her

186
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 2: watching the game, and a kid says, Dad, what does

187
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 2: what does equality mean? Why does he have that on

188
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 2: his jersey? And so that sparks the conversation between the

189
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 2: father and the son, and maybe that leads to the

190
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 2: father doing a little bit more with his son in

191
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 2: regards to, you know, educating him or or or that

192
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,559
Speaker 2: like that. If that were the one thing that were

193
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,839
Speaker 2: to come out of Lebron wearing a message on his jersey,

194
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:25,839
Speaker 2: I think it would be worth it. And maybe this

195
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 2: is a new audience that sees into the playoffs and

196
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 2: maybe they don't follow what Lebron does and every moment

197
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 2: of every second on you know, in a social media world,

198
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 2: or you know, in his life, as he is definitely

199
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 2: more than an athlete. I mentioned those initiatives he has,

200
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 2: but I just don't see the harm in putting a

201
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 2: phrase on a jersey. I just I just don't see

202
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 2: why not.

203
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 1: I actually disagree with this. I think this is Lebron

204
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 1: playing chess here and not checkers because and I tweeted

205
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,559
Speaker 1: this out intentional or not, and I guess I'm assuming

206
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: it is intentional because it's Lebron. This decision, in a

207
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 1: weird way, task actually brings more inten two all of

208
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 1: this to the Black Lives Matter movement. I really truly

209
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 1: believe that if Lebron does just go with the quality

210
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: on the back of his jersey, I hear what you're saying.

211
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: I like that scenario you're talking about, the son and

212
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 1: the father. That's true, that could happen, but just as

213
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: equally true as hey dad, Why doesn't Lebron? You know,

214
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: why does everybody else have it? I guess my point

215
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: is there's so many players like I think it's something

216
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 1: like nearly three hundred of the three hundred and fifty

217
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 1: eligible players are going to have, you know, a social

218
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 1: justice message that they were They were given a list

219
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:32,839
Speaker 1: that they could pick from. We know that it's about

220
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:36,679
Speaker 1: thirty and Lebron saying I don't want to pick one

221
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 1: of those. It sounds like he had other things in

222
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 1: mind that he wished he could have put on and

223
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 1: when he couldn't, and he didn't like being not consulted

224
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: about it, He's like, you know what, I'm just not

225
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: going to do it. I actually think that brings more attention,

226
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: do you know what I'm saying?

227
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 2: Though I know you're saying I saw you tweet that,

228
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,559
Speaker 2: and I definitely think right now these last two days

229
00:10:55,840 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 2: for sure, because it's now newsworthy and so. But at

230
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 2: the same time, I don't think we're gonna see those

231
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 2: phrases on players jerseys all the time. Like if you

232
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 2: think about a game, you see the name on a

233
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:12,680
Speaker 2: black of players jerseys, like I don't know, six seven,

234
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 2: eight times a game, you just don't see it all

235
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 2: that much. And so I don't think you're gonna even

236
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 2: have a scenario where you see Lebron running up the

237
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 2: floor and you just see his back like and a

238
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 2: kid goes, hey, what's that? I mean? I think. I think,

239
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 2: because he is the biggest player in the game, if

240
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 2: he put out an Instagram post with his jersey and

241
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 2: that would spark more conversation, I think than not. And

242
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:36,559
Speaker 2: I hear what you're saying for the last couple of days,

243
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 2: but yeah, three hundred or three hundred fifty people are

244
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 2: doing it for at least four games. I think we

245
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 2: have to mention that they don't have to go forward

246
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 2: with it after those four games. It's this weird thing

247
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 2: where it's just four games. But I hear what you're saying,

248
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:53,839
Speaker 2: but I think I really think the floor is more

249
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 2: important because like it's I know we're talking about the

250
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,199
Speaker 2: jerseys a ton, but you just don't see the back

251
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 2: of jerseys all that. I don't think it's going to

252
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 2: be a big deal. I think the floor is a

253
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 2: little bit more important. But I hear what you're saying.

254
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 3: For now, what do you think, Lee, I'm a little surprised,

255
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 3: and to be honest, a little disappointed that Lebron isn't

256
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 3: going to put a name or some sort of phrase

257
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,680
Speaker 3: on his jersey because to me, you know, he says

258
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 3: he wasn't consulted, But as far as I understood it.

259
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 3: Then the National Basketball Players Association worked in close contact

260
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 3: with the NBA on these messages, so I can't believe

261
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 3: that he wasn't in any way spoken to about what

262
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 3: the messages were. Chris Paul is the president, that's one

263
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 3: of his closest friends. I can't imagine Chris Paul didn't say, Hey, Bron,

264
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 3: what do you think of this? You know that to

265
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,079
Speaker 3: me sounds a little bit strange. And I just feel

266
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 3: that this is Lebron James. He goes further than just

267
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 3: the basketball world and even further than just the sports world.

268
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 3: He is an international celebrity and an icon, and he's

269
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 3: revered around the world, and I feel this is the

270
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 3: best chance for him to really just demonstrate how influential

271
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 3: he is. And I think of those messages. If the

272
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 3: one wasn't one that he liked, then I'm sure at

273
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 3: someone of his power and his ability would have been

274
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 3: able to then get the message that he wanted on

275
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 3: his jersey. I mean, he again, he's Lebron James. You

276
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 3: make special conditions for people like him because he has

277
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 3: the ability to reach so many people and affect so

278
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:21,679
Speaker 3: many lives. So I would like him to change his

279
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 3: mind and to put a message on the back, and

280
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 3: perhaps he will, perhaps he won't. I'm not sure he'd

281
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,599
Speaker 3: he probably I guess has decided at this point that

282
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 3: he's not going to. But I would have liked to

283
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 3: have seen him Black lives matter, equality, anything. I can't breathe.

284
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 1: I mean, but Lebron's saying, like Task was saying at

285
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 1: the start of this, He's like, this means nothing. Let's

286
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 1: be honest. Yeah, but I know all Lebron is like,

287
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: my track record speaks for itself.

288
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 3: I agree with that.

289
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 1: And Task took us through all the things that he's done.

290
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 1: You can't tell me. In fact, I would go to

291
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 1: say that he's been the most vocal athlete right over

292
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: the last decade plus on the matters of race, an injustice,

293
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,079
Speaker 1: and education in minority communities. Like I can't think of

294
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 1: another athlete that you would he'd be at that least

295
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: at the top of the list.

296
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 3: Okay, So what does putting a message on his jersey

297
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 3: detract from? Like? What?

298
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 2: What? What?

299
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 3: What's the what's the downside to him putting a message

300
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 3: on his jersey?

301
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:14,719
Speaker 2: There?

302
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's no downside. But again, I actually think he's

303
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 1: bringing more attention to this we have it as our

304
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 1: first topic but everywhere.

305
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 3: But I disagree that he's bringing more more like those

306
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 3: two much.

307
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 2: I think you're right scause he has bring more attention

308
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 2: to it now with those two months, he probably has

309
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 2: something else planned. You're right, he's calculated. He definitely has

310
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 2: something else planned in terms of social justice. I imagine

311
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 2: right like for or he's like, he's already doing it,

312
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 2: so I would think, but when they're in Orlando, I'm

313
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 2: sure they're going to be doing he is going to

314
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 2: be leading something. But I agree it doesn't really detract

315
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 2: from anything just to have it on his jersey. But

316
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 2: it just sounds like to me, he wants to be

317
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 2: different in this instance and he just wants to stand

318
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 2: out by not putting it on his jersey.

319
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, and we we should say he said quote no

320
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 1: disrespect to the list that was handed out to all

321
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 1: the players. Okay, I commend anyone that decides to put

322
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 1: something on the back of their jersey. It's just something

323
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 1: that didn't really seriously resonate with my mission, with my goal,

324
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 1: because you know, you see the headline and people start going, oh, well,

325
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 1: Lebron's too good for this, blah blah, blah, but he

326
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 1: is just like, this is my personal opinion and I

327
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 1: didn't want to, but kudos to anybody else that did so.

328
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 1: And like I said, there's a lot of players that

329
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: are I think there's something like around twenty now that

330
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 1: are electing just to go with their names instead. And

331
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 1: Anthony Davis we learned as another one of those players,

332
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 1: and of course his Lakers teammate, he's just gone with

333
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 1: Davis as well.

334
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, well again, I think though you know, two

335
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 3: of the biggest names, these guys are likely going to

336
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 3: be playing into the finals, they're going to be on

337
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:51,119
Speaker 3: the court the most throughout this entire restart. Personally, I'm disappointed.

338
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 3: I would have rather them have a message on there.

339
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 3: But again, we'll see how things play out and what

340
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 3: else Lebron perhaps has in mind for how he's going

341
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 3: to would dress this situation throughout the playoffs. Maybe you're right,

342
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 3: maybe maybe he's decided he's going to have some different

343
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 3: way of showcasing it. But I just feel with the

344
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 3: games being back there, this is a fantastic opportunity for him,

345
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 3: the most most recognizable player in the game, you know,

346
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 3: to get a message out there. But again, I'm not

347
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 3: not doubting him at all. I think that he's going

348
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 3: to have something. It's just I'm very surprised anyway. I'm

349
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 3: very surprised. I think on our show, you know, whenever

350
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 3: it was a week or two ago, who knows everything

351
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 3: blends into a single day. I said, I'd be shocked

352
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 3: if anyone didn't have it. When you have someone like

353
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 3: Lebron who's the leader of the NBA, He's going to

354
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 3: have a message and everyone will sort of follow suit.

355
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 3: So I'm definitely shocked by that.

356
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he will have something planned. It is Lebron James,

357
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 2: and like you said, he it's probably the most out

358
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 2: spoking NBA player the last decade. He will have something planned.

359
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 2: And I just I just don't think. I don't understand

360
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 2: why those things have to be exclusive? Why not do both?

361
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 2: I just I just don't get it.

362
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 1: I mean, we heard Mike Scott and Jail and Brown

363
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:05,119
Speaker 1: both say they were a little disappointed with the options

364
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,399
Speaker 1: and that they couldn't pick their own message and that

365
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 1: it did feel a little corporate y. Maybe Lebron feels

366
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 1: that way too, I think, And you can't quote me

367
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,160
Speaker 1: on this because I was watching an MLS soccer game

368
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:20,360
Speaker 1: on Friday night at Lanta. United came back and I

369
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 1: think they've had the option. And again please don't quote

370
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,439
Speaker 1: me on this, but on their jerseys there's almost like

371
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 1: a spot. There's like a white bar, you know what

372
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:30,920
Speaker 1: I mean, like a rectangle where they could put their

373
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 1: own message on there. I think now that could have

374
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 1: been printed on there. I thought that was pretty cool.

375
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: It would have been a really neat thing. I think

376
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,119
Speaker 1: the NBA could have done too, if they obviously wanted

377
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 1: to possibly open up a can of worms. And I

378
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 1: guess that's why they didn't, but it would have been

379
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:45,919
Speaker 1: neat if you actually could have legit, you know, written

380
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 1: whatever you wanted to, whatever message you would like to

381
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 1: get across on your jersey in a particular spot. But

382
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 1: maybe now that I say that, I don't know if

383
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 1: the MLS did that. I saw it though, and it looked.

384
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 3: Hand written, so maybe it was just But in that sense,

385
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 3: like open up the can of worms, those are the

386
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,399
Speaker 3: sort of uncomfortab conversations I think we need.

387
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 1: To have fair.

388
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 3: You know, if someone's if someone's got a message they

389
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,159
Speaker 3: want to write, let them write it and then and

390
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:07,199
Speaker 3: then we can talk about it.

391
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 1: You know, the NBA players already do a lot of

392
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 1: this stuff. They rid a lot of the stuff on

393
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 1: their shoes. Yeah, it's obviously tiny on your shoes. Unless

394
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 1: there's a close up on Getty images and it gets

395
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 1: tweeted out, you're not really good.

396
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 3: Well, there's always yeah, someone always takes a photo. They

397
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 3: always make sure a photo gets taken. But but that

398
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,439
Speaker 3: that's where I that's where I think we need to be,

399
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 3: at that point where it's like, oh my god, did

400
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 3: you see what that person wrote? Like, let's let's talk

401
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 3: about it. I mean, it's maybe not always going to be,

402
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 3: you know, nice, but at least that's where we need

403
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 3: to go, I think, to really change the way side

404
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 3: is at the moment and bring awareness to every issue.

405
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 1: Right our next headlines sticking with the Lakers NBA dot

406
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 1: Com Lakers God for Jehan Rondo out's six to eight

407
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 1: weeks with a fractured thumb. Lee Rondo out, We know

408
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 1: you love Rondo is.

409
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 3: Well, it's it's a blow to the Lakers, of course

410
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,399
Speaker 3: because Avery Bradley another Garden you know, slightly different position,

411
00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,479
Speaker 3: doesn't really play the point guard. He's also out, so

412
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 3: they're backcourt depth is certainly going to take a little

413
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 3: bit of a hit here. Rondo's an interesting one though,

414
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 3: because the Lakers were clearly looking to try to get

415
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:12,400
Speaker 3: some support for that point guard reserve spot. They tried

416
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,680
Speaker 3: to sign Darren Collison earlier in the season didn't really

417
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 3: work out. So I don't think they have complete faith

418
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 3: in Rondo, But the fact that he's not going to

419
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 3: be there for the most of this resumption is going

420
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 3: to hurt them a little bit. But when you have

421
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 3: someone like Lebron who can kind of play point guard,

422
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 3: we've known he's done that in the playoffs in the past,

423
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 3: you've got a fairly good backup option there. But and

424
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 3: Caruso obviously is going to be more minutes for him

425
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 3: as well. But I think that's the thing. When you

426
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 3: are now two players down, it just means these extra

427
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:42,719
Speaker 3: these guys are gonna have to play extra minutes, and

428
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 3: that could potentially lead to some more injuries. So it's

429
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:48,400
Speaker 3: a blow to Lakers. They're going to miss him for sure,

430
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 3: just to have another body out there. But in terms

431
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 3: of whether or not they can still win the championship,

432
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,199
Speaker 3: I don't think that really changes. I think they're still

433
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 3: at their best They're still clearly one of the favorite

434
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 3: out of the Lake because the Celtics and they, excuse me,

435
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,399
Speaker 3: the Lakers, Bucks and the Clippers, but it's going to

436
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 3: be a bit of a blow to them for sure.

437
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think this is really all that newsworthy,

438
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 2: and it's unfortunate and Ragnrondo would eat minutes. As Lee

439
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 2: was saying, it would be nice if this happened for

440
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 2: the Lakers before they got to Orlando and they could

441
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:23,920
Speaker 2: just potentially find another body if ifs Rondo was out

442
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 2: for if they knew he was out for a long

443
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 2: period of time, but at the same time, he could

444
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,119
Speaker 2: be back for the second round of the playoffs. I

445
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:33,199
Speaker 2: think I have a problem finishing off if it's the

446
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 2: Memphis Grizzlies or the Portland Trailblazers without ragrohn Rondo, No, sir.

447
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 2: Even if it's the conference finals, they should have If

448
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 2: it's eight weeks, the length of the longest that Gienrondo

449
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 2: could be out six to eight weeks here he would

450
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 2: be back for the Conference Finals against the Clippers. Yeah,

451
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 2: we're penciling in the Clippers and Lakers right now. I

452
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 2: don't think it's an issue Lebron is their point guard,

453
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 2: and Kntavious Caldwell, Pope Stands, is going to stand out

454
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 2: there in place of Avery Bradley, and Danny Green is

455
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 2: gonna start beside him, and Alex Scruso and Quinn Cook

456
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:04,399
Speaker 2: can come off the bench. And as Lee said, they

457
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,639
Speaker 2: were looking for Darren Collison to have a guy who

458
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:09,719
Speaker 2: can who can shoot. I mean that's the primary focus

459
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 2: I think for their backup point guard. Uh And and

460
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 2: that's why Rondo probably wouldn't have got a ton of minutes,

461
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 2: you know, down in crunch time because playing alongside Lebron

462
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:21,880
Speaker 2: and ad we've seen what Lebron needs shooters around him,

463
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 2: and and Rondo, Yeah, you look at the percentages. Sometimes

464
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:29,879
Speaker 2: they're good, but yeah he's not. And Alex Cruso is

465
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,640
Speaker 2: gonna step up. I mean that's I don't think it's

466
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,640
Speaker 2: really really much of a worry. I think Avid Bradley's

467
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,440
Speaker 2: a bigger one because they don't really have anybody to

468
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 2: guard little guards. Avery Bradley would be that guy if

469
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,479
Speaker 2: there's a quick little water bug out there that they

470
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:46,639
Speaker 2: have to guard. But I don't know, I'm not that

471
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 2: gonna cern you concern Skates Well, I know.

472
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:51,400
Speaker 1: I'll add this. I saw Kevin Pelton write this, see

473
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,399
Speaker 1: crunch the numbers per cleaning the glass. And there's a

474
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 1: theory that maybe Rondo's injury could actually help the Lakers

475
00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 1: play more effective lineups because the Lakers were minus six

476
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 1: point eight net rating with Rondo on the court. That's

477
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:05,679
Speaker 1: the worst of any player who has seen more than

478
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 1: four hundred minutes this season. That said, playoff Rondo, guys,

479
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:10,919
Speaker 1: was a real thing.

480
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 3: When when let's go back in time to when that was.

481
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:17,879
Speaker 1: Well twenty eighteen with the Pelicans, we still had playoff

482
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 1: Rondo come on double twelve point two assists per gamely

483
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 1: in that But his assists of the first round, I

484
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 1: mean he was good.

485
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:31,879
Speaker 3: Okay, yes he did it was better than Rondo.

486
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 2: No.

487
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 3: Look, he played well against the Blazer There's no question

488
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 3: that he was instrumental in that series upset of the Blazers.

489
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 3: But the assist, the assist numbers they like are always

490
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 3: Rondo's assists are always about himself. They're not about helping

491
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 3: his team out. He's always stuffing his own stats. That's

492
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 3: there's no question about that. He's done that for his

493
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:49,879
Speaker 3: entire career.

494
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 2: But I heard Rondo was actually asking the league to

495
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 2: get playoff Rondo on the back of.

496
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:58,640
Speaker 1: His right, right, they should because it's real, but also

497
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 1: want to you want to deny it, Oh you can,

498
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:03,680
Speaker 1: but it's legit real. He plays better.

499
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, there's no question he tries harder in the playoffs.

500
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:10,120
Speaker 3: That that's that's undeniable. But you know, and that upset again, Yeah,

501
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 3: good against the Blazers, But then what happened in the

502
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 3: next round? Where was where was playoff Rundo in the

503
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 3: next round?

504
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 1: Yeah? Sure, sure, you know.

505
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:18,119
Speaker 3: That's that's my point is like, uh, you know, the

506
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 3: ten years ago or whenever it was for the Celtics

507
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,680
Speaker 3: and he had those incredible games against Lebron, he was great.

508
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:28,359
Speaker 3: But the playoff Rondo myth has carried on significantly longer

509
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 3: than it ever actually lasted. It wasn't It wasn't as

510
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 3: though like Rondo was the you know, close to winning

511
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 3: MVP of the Finals or anything like that. I mean,

512
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:37,639
Speaker 3: he had some good games, no doubt about it, but

513
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 3: he's kind of carried that reputation. He's he's he's dined

514
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:43,479
Speaker 3: out on that for a long year.

515
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 1: So let me ask you this. In a in a

516
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:48,719
Speaker 1: close series, we're into Game six and seven, it sounds

517
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,440
Speaker 1: like maybe both of you that you would trust Alex

518
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:56,159
Speaker 1: Caruso over playoff Rondo, you know obviously, you know, you know,

519
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,160
Speaker 1: in a you know, must win or a huge quarter,

520
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:01,400
Speaker 1: a huge moment in a game, that's who you would

521
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 1: side with after what you assume is like a wash

522
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 1: Toronto at this point in his career.

523
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 2: Yes, well, I think the pecking arder is probably Caruso

524
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,400
Speaker 2: wouldn't even be starting though, like if if you're talking

525
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:16,639
Speaker 2: about like late third quarter minutes, yeah, I mean I

526
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:18,640
Speaker 2: probably wouldn't have either of them on the court when

527
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 2: you're talking about the end of the fourth quarter. But yeah,

528
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 2: it'd probably pick Out is going to play more defense

529
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 2: out there.

530
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 1: Who are the Lakers five? Then let's say in a

531
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:28,640
Speaker 1: crunch time.

532
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:33,239
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, yeah, Lebron ad and then Danny Green is

533
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 2: definitely out there, and it's probably Conavious calledwell Pope at

534
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 2: that other guard spot because he's probably playing defense better

535
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 2: than anybody or talks Caruso, and then it depends on

536
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,679
Speaker 2: who who's the big guy. If you want Kuzma out there,

537
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 2: if you're going with a Dwight.

538
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 3: Yeah that I mean that's again, if they need a basket.

539
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 3: Then I don't think Rondo's on the court because Lebron

540
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:54,679
Speaker 3: sort of can just take over the point guard and

541
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 3: he needs a Kuzma or a Caruso or whoever's out

542
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 3: there because he knows he impossible to him. They can shoot.

543
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 3: And that's one thing Rondo's never been able to address

544
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,159
Speaker 3: in his career, the fact that he can be a

545
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,399
Speaker 3: spot up shooter because he can't shoot and he won't shoot.

546
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 3: And again that's why he gets all these gaudy numbers

547
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 3: of assists, because he often passes up a shot that

548
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:15,920
Speaker 3: he should take to try to get an assist.

549
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:23,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, they have enough goats, listen.

550
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:26,440
Speaker 3: I will admit in that that series against the Blazers,

551
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 3: he was excellent, no question. Defensively is great, and he

552
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 3: has had his moments undeniably so. But I also think

553
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 3: he gets a pass so many times, for like when

554
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 3: he's out on the corners, like you've got to shoot

555
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 3: that man, you're open to shooter, and he won't. He'll

556
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:42,159
Speaker 3: drive in and he'll try to, you know, get the

557
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:45,919
Speaker 3: easy cheap assist to somebody else because and and sometimes

558
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 3: it works. But he also has an enormous amount of turnovers.

559
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,640
Speaker 3: And bad plays and bad passes in that situation for overpassing.

560
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Lakers have enough to depth. And he was

561
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,920
Speaker 2: good on those Pelicans teams because Drew Holliday could come

562
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 2: off the ball a little bit and not have to

563
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 2: bring it up every time and play defense, play his

564
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,119
Speaker 2: ass off on defense to stop Damian Lillard and c

565
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 2: J mccoum. They did a great job for four games.

566
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 2: It was kind of an anomaly. It was just a

567
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:12,919
Speaker 2: terrible matchup. But then Rondo in that second round, it

568
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 2: was too much Rondo, and the shooting stopped, you know,

569
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 2: the good shooting stop. The actual attempts were still there,

570
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:24,120
Speaker 2: and then yeah, the things sort of fell apart. It's

571
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 2: it's weird to say the Lakers have enough depth after

572
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 2: they lost Avery Bradley, But because Lebron is their point guard,

573
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 2: they're fine. You know, he really is their point guard,

574
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 2: and they have enough guys. They were good with KCP

575
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 2: and their starting lineup, and Danny Green's gonna be out

576
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:44,199
Speaker 2: there firing, and he's won a lot of ships, just

577
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 2: like you know, Jon Rondo has won a ship himself.

578
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:48,120
Speaker 2: So I think they'll be fine.

579
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, And look, the Lakers are very likely gonna be

580
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:54,879
Speaker 1: still the number one seed in the Western Conference. I

581
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:56,360
Speaker 1: think I saw the Clippers would have to go eight

582
00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:58,159
Speaker 1: to no and then the Lakers would still only have

583
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,400
Speaker 1: to win three games to hold the spot. How far

584
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 1: they up are? They are up on the Clippers if

585
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,400
Speaker 1: that even matters. I mean the obviously no home cred advantage,

586
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 1: so who really cares? But they're going to be the

587
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 1: one seed, very very very likely in the Western Conference.

588
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 1: All right, we'll cheer from you guys on all these

589
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 1: By the way, let us know on Twitter hashtag no

590
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:17,680
Speaker 1: dunk's that no dunk sinc Are any of these news?

591
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,360
Speaker 1: Next one, here one's interesting from Silver Screen and Roll

592
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 1: Great Lakers Blog, DeMarcus Cousins says, anyone who doesn't pick

593
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:30,159
Speaker 1: Lebron James over Yannis is a hater for MVP. You

594
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 1: are a task Lee. Let's start with you, Lee. What

595
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:34,679
Speaker 1: do you think is this news? No?

596
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,479
Speaker 3: This is this is a ridiculous statement from DeMarcus Cousins,

597
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:40,920
Speaker 3: because as great as Lebron has been, look at what

598
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 3: Jannis has done for the Milwaukee Bucks. Best record in

599
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,400
Speaker 3: the league, best defense in the league. Jannis might win

600
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 3: MVP and Defensive Player of the Year this season, he's

601
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 3: been incredible on both ends of the floor, doing everything

602
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,920
Speaker 3: for the Bucks. You know, like if if you were

603
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 3: to sort of if the Bucks were, you know, struggling along,

604
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 3: and you Nas was only putting up numbers on one

605
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 3: end of the floor, perhaps there's an argument there, but

606
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 3: he's doing absolutely everything for his team to have them

607
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:10,400
Speaker 3: in the position they're in. And again, we've talked about

608
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:12,679
Speaker 3: Lebron a lot this season. He's had a resurgence season

609
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,439
Speaker 3: after last year where he just he looked like it

610
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:17,359
Speaker 3: all finally caught up with him a little bit. And

611
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:19,440
Speaker 3: I question coming into the season if he was ever

612
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 3: going to sort of be able to find the superstar

613
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:24,359
Speaker 3: Lebron again. He got there, he became a brilliant player again.

614
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 3: But this season's MVP for me, while it's not going

615
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 3: to be unanimous, I think it's very very hard to

616
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:33,400
Speaker 3: see how Yannis won't win because he's been so dominant

617
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 3: for the best team in the league at both ends

618
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 3: of the floor.

619
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 1: Sounds like you're a heater, you are a what do

620
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 1: you think to ask this news?

621
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:45,479
Speaker 2: No, DeMarcus Cousins is pining for his teammate here. There

622
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 2: were teammates this year it's weird to think that DeMarcus

623
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 2: Cousins was on the Lakers bench, But I think he's

624
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 2: just sort of focused on this old guy is incredible.

625
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 2: You know. He sounds like he's really impressed with how

626
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 2: a thirty five year old Lebron works his ass off

627
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 2: at the age that he is. And the quote extends

628
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 2: to he's doing this with gray hair and a gray beard.

629
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 2: That's what it sounds like he's really impressed with, Like, Yeah,

630
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 2: I've never worked that hard in my life. I'm just

631
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 2: just guessing, and Lebron is doing it in his mid thirties,

632
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 2: and so I think, yeah, it's just like, you know,

633
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 2: it's a little confirmation bias or it's a little like

634
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 2: prisoner of the Lakers moment. He's around Lebron seeing it

635
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 2: every day, so he's taken him.

636
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 3: I mean, that's does DeMarcus get a ring if the

637
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 3: Lakers win the championship, even if he gets signed by another.

638
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 2: Team and he never played a game with Yeah.

639
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 3: But he got paid, he got paid. He was on

640
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 3: the rust up.

641
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, you're not wrong. Shit, a bit of this too.

642
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 1: This is sort of a little bit of recency bias,

643
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 1: a weird Recncy bias because we haven't had basketball in

644
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 1: four months. But remember Lebron was killing it before the shutdown,

645
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 1: Right before COVID shut the season down. He was averaging

646
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 1: like thirty nine and eight and his true shooting percentage

647
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 1: was hilarious. And the Lakers rolling in the final ten

648
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 1: games before they shutdown. And then Gianna's flip side of

649
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,479
Speaker 1: that was little banged up out of the line up

650
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 1: there near the end of it, and the Bucks were

651
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 1: starting to struggle and losing some games and stuff like that,

652
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 1: and that's where the narrative was, like, Wow, Ken Lebron, Yeah,

653
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 1: Kenny actually pull this off. And so many people's, like

654
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 1: a lot of us include is saying no, no, joannest

655
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 1: is just too far out in front, it won't really matter.

656
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 1: But could the Lakers have snatched the number one seed overall?

657
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:29,960
Speaker 1: Could Lebron continued on this toward pace? Could they just

658
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 1: kept racking up w's, especially if Jannis was hurt a

659
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 1: little bit? Yeah, I'm with you, guys. I guess we

660
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 1: all are haters. I think Gianness is rightfully going to

661
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 1: win this thing. But Tess, I think has a point there.

662
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 1: It's it's cousin seeing this up close and personal, going

663
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 1: my god, like I shouldn't be able to do this

664
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 1: at this age. And again, what was a bit of

665
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 1: a bounce back season, especially from injury and Lakers playing.

666
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 2: Well, So of course he's gonna go.

667
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 1: To bat for his guy. Yeah, he said this on

668
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 1: Jail and Jacobi. I think Cousins was saying this.

669
00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 2: Yeah. I hate being on Twitter and seeing the question,

670
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 2: is Lebron having best year seventeen in NBA history? You

671
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 2: know you mentioned Kevin Pelton a little earlier, a man

672
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 2: John Schumann. Maybe they can do that research. I just

673
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 2: I can't even fathom trying to do that research, trying

674
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 2: to understand it. But I'm gonna say this is the

675
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 2: best year seventeen of a player we've ever seen.

676
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 1: Probably, I mean, who would be Carl Malone maybe seventeen,

677
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:30,959
Speaker 1: But I think Kareem was MVP somewhere when he was like,

678
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 1: yeah something that sounds right, But.

679
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 2: That's pretty good. Lebron leading the league and assists are

680
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 2: those just gaudy assists now?

681
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 3: But see but they're not. They're not because because cheap

682
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 3: they're cheap. True, No, but throughout his career I'm going

683
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 3: to guess without looking he averages about seven between seven

684
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 3: and night per game for his career.

685
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 2: Oh, for his career. Yeah, yeah, he's averaging ten and

686
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 2: a half this year, seven and a half for his career.

687
00:31:57,280 --> 00:31:58,960
Speaker 3: Right, So yeah, Rod on the spot there. I mean,

688
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 3: throughout his career he's been very, very unselfish Lebron and

689
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 3: you know, yeah, but he's been selfishly unselfish, is my point.

690
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 1: With he has there's no look, We've talked about this

691
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:13,959
Speaker 1: for a decades, I know. I mean, Rondo will exactly

692
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 1: pass out of open lay up to the guy at he.

693
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 3: Went through that ridiculous phase of getting you know, double

694
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:20,719
Speaker 3: digit assists in a row, and he was going out

695
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 3: in blowouts like just to just to pad the numbers.

696
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 3: I mean that that just drove me crazy. Everyone pads

697
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 3: their numbers, I know that. But anyway, the thing is

698
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 3: with Lebron, we know he's a willing passer. Ever since

699
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 3: day one, he's been a great passer. And the fact

700
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 3: now he's like, I don't want to be the guy

701
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 3: has to go out there and score all the points.

702
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 3: Even though what's the averaging on the season twenty five

703
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 3: a game still anyway, I mean, not too far off

704
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 3: his normal career averages. But yeah, no, these are this

705
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 3: is Lebron just showing just how versatile he is and how.

706
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 2: Great he is.

707
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 3: I mean, he's a great, great player. If you didn't know, Tommy.

708
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 2: Kevin Felton, and John Schumann, I did the research. Lebron's

709
00:32:56,920 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 2: year seventeen better than Kareem's of twenty three points per game,

710
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 2: six boards. I mean, still obviously incredible stuff from Kareem

711
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:07,960
Speaker 2: in year seventeen, and he was the final year he

712
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 2: was MVP, was a year eleven of his career. He's

713
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 2: thirty two years old. Oh real, though he's not gonna

714
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 2: he's not gonna finals MVP at thirty four. He's thirty seven.

715
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, nice, Yeah, you are the go call you

716
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 1: John Mellis. Now you're part of the Johns.

717
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 2: Give me a jack, Yeah yeah.

718
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 1: Because we're calling Kevin Pelton John Pelton now.

719
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 2: Right right, Yeah, of course, yeah, you can call me Yannismellics.

720
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 2: That's that's a John Giannis is actually John.

721
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 1: That's good. That's good. That's good. All right. Our next

722
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 1: one here from ESPN. Back to ESPN, Andre Robertson back

723
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 1: on the floor with the thunder after long layoff, dude

724
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 1: to injury. Remember that name Lee. Is this news, Well, it's.

725
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 3: Good news for Andro Robinson if he can just get

726
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 3: out there and play again, because I think it's been

727
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 3: nearly over two years since he actually played in the NBA.

728
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 3: He kept coming back and then he had setbacks and

729
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 3: he just wasn't looked like he's going to be able

730
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 3: to play. And now for this resumption, will he be

731
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:09,239
Speaker 3: able to play? I mean he might get some sort

732
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:11,239
Speaker 3: of mop up minutes. I can't see him making any

733
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 3: significant real impact on the Thundered simply because he just

734
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 3: hasn't played for so long. So this is more about

735
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:19,839
Speaker 3: just whether or not he can sort of get back

736
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:22,760
Speaker 3: on the court at all. We know he's a defensive player.

737
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:24,840
Speaker 3: He's not a very good offensive player as far as

738
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:27,880
Speaker 3: shooting or even creating for anybody, but he's out there

739
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 3: and he gives them another presence defensively. So if he

740
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:34,279
Speaker 3: can play at all and make some meaningful contribution to

741
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:35,760
Speaker 3: the thunder and then that will be a great story

742
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:38,880
Speaker 3: for him. But I would say for what we're going

743
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:41,319
Speaker 3: to see from him for this season, it's going to

744
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:43,719
Speaker 3: be not more than sort of probably token minutes just

745
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:45,280
Speaker 3: to get back out on the floor.

746
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's suffered a ruptured pateller tendon back in January

747
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:53,400
Speaker 1: of two thousand and eighteen and then had all multiple

748
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:55,880
Speaker 1: setbacks like you said, Lee, and challenges in his recovery.

749
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:57,239
Speaker 1: So it's been two and a half years since he's

750
00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:00,759
Speaker 1: played in an actual game here, Tess, news at all?

751
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:03,880
Speaker 1: Are you like Lee thinking? You know, good good news

752
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 1: for him trying to stick around in the league, because

753
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 1: I think he's an unstricted free agent too, unrestricted free agent,

754
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:11,759
Speaker 1: So is it just nothing more than that though in

755
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:13,920
Speaker 1: terms of helping the thunders chances of moving.

756
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 2: On, well, yeah, it's good for Robertson because I think

757
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 2: he if he even gets spot up minutes, it's good

758
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:22,759
Speaker 2: just to get another contract next year. That that's probably

759
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 2: what the on court goal for him is this postseason.

760
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 2: But I think it could be good for the Thunder

761
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 2: in that he could help lou Dort Logan's Dort, just

762
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:36,360
Speaker 2: just because it's so fun saying his name. The Canadian

763
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:40,839
Speaker 2: Haitian is OKCS small forward now and he's basically taken

764
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:45,919
Speaker 2: Andre Robertson's job as a you know, a defensive guy. Yeah,

765
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 2: and you know, Robertson had his had his like moment

766
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:51,959
Speaker 2: in the Sun as a three and D type guy,

767
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:54,360
Speaker 2: you know, the shots sort of went away and and

768
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:56,719
Speaker 2: Dort hopefully will be that guy. But he's their hustle guy.

769
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:59,800
Speaker 2: And maybe Robertson can be a bit of a guide

770
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 2: in the court because it's not the same, you know,

771
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:05,560
Speaker 2: being a voice off the floor. So I think hopefully

772
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:08,799
Speaker 2: that would be the en court significance, be a be

773
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 2: a practice player, and yeah, earn another contract in the league.

774
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:16,680
Speaker 1: Yeah. Royce Young pointed it out in his article about this. Robertson,

775
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:19,640
Speaker 1: you forget, was like a staple starter for the Thunder,

776
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:22,720
Speaker 1: like a good Thunder team, and he did establish himself

777
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 1: as one of the better defenders in the league. He

778
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 1: was growing there was growing buzz about being a Defensive

779
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:28,839
Speaker 1: Player of the Year prior to that injury. A bit

780
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 1: of a long shot thing of him winning it, but

781
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:32,920
Speaker 1: you know, on all NBA teams and stuff like that in.

782
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 3: The mix, that's definitely where he made his money on

783
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:38,280
Speaker 3: the defensive end. Yeah, and he was trying to reprove

784
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:39,719
Speaker 3: to become a bit of a Bruce Bowen, you know,

785
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 3: corner three man as well. Yeah, but yeah, really really

786
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,759
Speaker 3: crazy to see those so many setbacks that he had too,

787
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 3: I mean, just just crazy. Usually a guy, you know,

788
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:51,480
Speaker 3: if they have one, then they come back, but he

789
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:52,600
Speaker 3: had more than one.

790
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:55,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's almost it's almost shocking that it doesn't happen

791
00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:59,840
Speaker 1: more often because there was real complications with like infection

792
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:02,360
Speaker 1: and stuff like that, and things going wrong in the

793
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 1: surgery itself, you know, and then how he bounced back

794
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:08,080
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. So yeah, wishing him the best

795
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:09,319
Speaker 1: and I'd be nice to see him out there, even

796
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:12,319
Speaker 1: if they are a spot minutes or garbage minutes, whatever

797
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:14,399
Speaker 1: you want to call them. All Right, more headlines still

798
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:16,560

801
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:26,279
Speaker 3: humid days where you only have to think about going

802
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:28,680
Speaker 3: outside and you start sweating like jab of the hut

803
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 3: in a sauna, and with the sweat comes the stink.

804

Speaker 4: Done.

823
00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:35,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've officially hit the three showers a day. Yeah,

824
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:41,279
Speaker 1: the calendar year down here in Atlanta. It's gross here

825
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:43,800
Speaker 1: outside for more than fifteen minutes, You've basically come inside

826
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:45,680
Speaker 1: and have to have a shower. Yeah, it's it is

827
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:48,160
Speaker 1: that bad. It's that high. Though, I'm worried about you, Leie,

828
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:50,719
Speaker 1: Like I love the Hawthorne products myself too. We've all

829
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:53,800
Speaker 1: got them. I love to smell them, as I've said before,

830
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 1: but the bottles, shampoo bottles not gigantic, So I'm assuming

831
00:38:57,600 --> 00:38:59,520
Speaker 1: you go through a bottle a day with that that

832
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:02,360
Speaker 1: mop hair you got right now, Hey, you just dumping

833
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:03,839
Speaker 1: on and it's all guy.

834
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:06,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you know, I probably should be washing it

835
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:07,600
Speaker 3: a little more often than I am. I'm taking the

836
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 3: Trey Kirby approach actually, just saying, you know what, this

837
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:12,880
Speaker 3: is me baby, my family and I we've been quarantined

838
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:15,279
Speaker 3: now for what four months. We're starting to really get

839
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 3: to know each other's strongest and not so strong as suits.

840
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 3: And one of them is like, you know what, I'm

841
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:22,600
Speaker 3: growing my hair out with that comes a little bit

842
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 3: of stink in the air every now and again, but yeah,

843
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:26,040
Speaker 3: that's great.

844
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:29,919
Speaker 2: It's funny. Actually, I saw Trekkerby socially distanced of course,

845
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:32,400
Speaker 2: a few weeks ago, and I was having a stinky,

846
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 2: stinky Atlanta day. I definitely was a little stinky, and

847
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:40,040
Speaker 2: Trey brought up I had some some stuff on my

848
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:42,840
Speaker 2: legs for my poison ivy, so my legs were pink,

849
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 2: super pink, a lot of calamine motion going on and

850
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 2: he was commenting on me showering, and he's like, is

851
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:51,759
Speaker 2: that you that smells? Smells? And then Danielle's like, that

852
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 2: is definitely him. And then we brought up Hawthorne and

853
00:39:55,239 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 2: she said it's not working today as I stuck and

854
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:04,080
Speaker 2: those sham shampoo bottles. I actually, I wrote in I.

855
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:06,960
Speaker 2: I commented to our friend Mike at Hawthorne. I said,

856
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:10,759
Speaker 2: those those bottles pretty slippery, just they just fall out

857
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:14,279
Speaker 2: of your hand. And I'm not a clumsy guy, but

858
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:16,359
Speaker 2: those are like dropping everywhere. And I got you got

859
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:18,880
Speaker 2: a little baby sleeping bang. These things drop on the

860
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 2: floor of the shower, waking kids up. So I told them,

861
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:23,360
Speaker 2: you know, let's get a little grip on.

862
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 1: The bottle, making suggestions to the bottle.

863
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:29,440
Speaker 2: That's the next level, oh for sure. And the labeling

864
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:32,000
Speaker 2: is coming off in the shower. They're working on it.

865
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:33,719
Speaker 2: Though it's great stuff. Though I'm always using it.

866
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:37,040
Speaker 1: It's the product inside the bottle. I get real, the

867
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:39,719
Speaker 1: real key. All right, let's get with the headlines here

868
00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:43,760
Speaker 1: next one New York Post. This is interesting, This is interesting. Indeed,

869
00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:49,960
Speaker 1: ESPN suspends Adrian Wolfhanarowski without pay for JD. You want

870
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:55,120
Speaker 1: to do some work here. Sure. Cue email to Missouri senator,

871
00:40:55,440 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 1: Yes woes suspended for dropping an F bomb woj bomb

872
00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:04,600
Speaker 1: with the F bomb to the Missouri senator who wants

873
00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:06,920
Speaker 1: to get us started tasks have a crack at it

874
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 1: is this news.

875
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:13,720
Speaker 2: Well, let's take a step back to see what Adrian

876
00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 2: woljen Rowski was saying. FU two because the senator, this

877
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:23,799
Speaker 2: elected official senator of Missouri rights to the NBA a

878
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:28,600
Speaker 2: private business and tells them, Hey, you know what, on

879
00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:32,640
Speaker 2: the back of your players jerseys during this this thing

880
00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:35,160
Speaker 2: you got going on in Orlando, maybe you should have

881
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 2: some some you know, messages for the troops or for

882
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:41,440
Speaker 2: the police. What you guys are? What are you anti American?

883
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:43,279
Speaker 2: You don't care about the troops, you don't care about

884
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:47,840
Speaker 2: the police. It's very Colin Kaepernick esque. It's it's spinning

885
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 2: it for whatever purpose that this Missouri senator has into

886
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:56,239
Speaker 2: taking away from the topic at hand. The subject at

887
00:41:56,239 --> 00:42:00,759
Speaker 2: hand is black men and women being murdered by and

888
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:03,960
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, he's accusing the NBA of being

889
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:08,200
Speaker 2: anti American and anti civil rights. He brings up China

890
00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:12,200
Speaker 2: and their relationship with China in this letter, and I

891
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:15,520
Speaker 2: just find it a bunch of WHOI and so Yes,

892
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:20,239
Speaker 2: Adrian wojan Rowski dropped two words, and he could have

893
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:22,560
Speaker 2: said it a little bit more eloquently.

894
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:27,799
Speaker 1: A bunch of email. That's a bunch of whoy, Sir, sir.

895
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:30,600
Speaker 2: There's a lot bigger things to be worried about than

896
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:34,080
Speaker 2: what the NBA is doing down in Orlando. Has anybody

897
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:36,239
Speaker 2: spoken up about what the hell is going on in

898
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 2: Afghanistan with the Russians putting bounties on the heads of

899
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 2: American soldiers or this freaking pandemic happening. I just unfortunately

900
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:46,520
Speaker 2: Woji is suspended, but he'll get his job back right quick.

901
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:51,120
Speaker 2: And I wish he didn't have his pay redacted. I'm

902
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:53,799
Speaker 2: sure he's I'm sure he's compensated fine, and he'll be

903
00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:57,120
Speaker 2: He'll be okay, But it is strange. I just think

904
00:42:57,160 --> 00:42:59,799
Speaker 2: it's strange that part of the report is that he

905
00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:02,319
Speaker 2: isn't being paid for this week or two, that he

906
00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:07,680
Speaker 2: is being suspended. I don't know, he's woch and don't

907
00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:11,239
Speaker 2: I just find the whole thing crappy. What was the

908
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:15,520
Speaker 2: point of this letter? And then and then also publicizing

909
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:19,799
Speaker 2: Woja's email out there because the Senator Holly went and

910
00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:23,440
Speaker 2: tweeted Adrian Woze Rescue's email the exact email screenshot of

911
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:26,440
Speaker 2: the whole thing, which is against Senate rules. I do

912
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:29,000
Speaker 2: believe some people were saying, I have no idea, but

913
00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:31,080
Speaker 2: not cool either. Not cool?

914
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:32,000
Speaker 1: What do you think, Lee?

915
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:35,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, he's a clown, that senator just looking again,

916
00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:37,360
Speaker 3: as Tas was saying, to try to distract the message.

917
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 3: I mean, he's upset about the NBA not putting free

918
00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:42,759
Speaker 3: Hong Kong on the jerseys, but he's okay with the

919
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:46,120
Speaker 3: president who's making trade rules based on what benefits him.

920
00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 3: I mean, the president's in the pocket of the Chinese government,

921
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:50,960
Speaker 3: no doubt about it, and the Russians, but he's fine

922
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:53,560
Speaker 3: with that. That's not anti American. This apparently is what

923
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:55,319
Speaker 3: upset to him, and this is what gets gets his

924
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:59,480
Speaker 3: moral compass going. So yeah, these sorts of things right

925
00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:02,960
Speaker 3: now are just crazy because he wanted the attention, he

926
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:06,960
Speaker 3: got what he wanted. But Woes was completely right and

927
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:08,759
Speaker 3: justified in what he said to him, Like, wh why

928
00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:10,480
Speaker 3: is he sending it to wolfh What does he care?

929
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 3: So I just think this senator's got a very strange

930
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:20,120
Speaker 3: moral compass of what he finds to be pro American.

931
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:22,320
Speaker 3: What he finds to be anti American stand up to

932
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:26,960
Speaker 3: the president who we know made tariff laws, made his

933
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:30,200
Speaker 3: own daughter's companies exempt from tarifflaws with China. Is that

934
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:32,920
Speaker 3: not something of a concern. I don't think so apparently

935
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:33,719
Speaker 3: according to him.

936
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:37,359
Speaker 2: So, yeah, the senator is mad they don't have an

937
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:38,080
Speaker 2: NBA team.

938
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:39,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he's also.

939
00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:40,680
Speaker 2: Makes it also a little crazy.

940
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:43,120
Speaker 3: He's also in the pocket of the NRA as well,

941
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:45,920
Speaker 3: like that they bribe him and he more than happily

942
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:48,279
Speaker 3: accepts those blood money bribes. So he's got a few

943
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:49,840
Speaker 3: other things he needs to worry about first.

944
00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:52,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, what I love about this story as well. I

945
00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:55,480
Speaker 1: was telling someone to craft at eight fifty seven ams

946
00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:59,400
Speaker 1: something about that. It brings a smile to my face.

947
00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:02,319
Speaker 1: But it is interesting. I think I saw a couple

948
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:05,560
Speaker 1: of people tweet this. If Woes doesn't send that email

949
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:09,080
Speaker 1: from his official ESPN dot com email address, is this

950
00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:11,840
Speaker 1: an issue at all? I mean, you are allowed to

951
00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:16,239
Speaker 1: disagree with senators, Yeah, correct, I mean, but because maybe

952
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:18,520
Speaker 1: he's using a company email, is obviously a face of

953
00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:21,480
Speaker 1: that of that company. And yeah, I think the other

954
00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:23,839
Speaker 1: interesting part this is from Jim Miller, who basically wrote

955
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:26,720
Speaker 1: the book. On ESPN, he said, make no mistake, Woe's

956
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:30,640
Speaker 1: news being leaked is a further attempt to punish him

957
00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:34,600
Speaker 1: here and totally agenda driven, and that he wrote that

958
00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:39,040
Speaker 1: wol deserves way better, his point being with previous incidents,

959
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:42,279
Speaker 1: you know, it doesn't need to be so public or

960
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:44,239
Speaker 1: at least the suspension. You know, it doesn't need to

961
00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:46,360
Speaker 1: be out there, that it's one or two weeks and

962
00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:49,279
Speaker 1: like Test said, no pay and all that, like this

963
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:53,239
Speaker 1: has happened before where that's internal. But why is this

964
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:56,560
Speaker 1: out there? Why is why is this news being shared?

965
00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:58,920
Speaker 1: And is that just again another way to sort of

966
00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:02,319
Speaker 1: punish him some That could be true for all I know,

967
00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:04,799
Speaker 1: But I agree with a lot what you guys were

968
00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:07,000
Speaker 1: saying there. JD. I wanted to chime in on this

969
00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:07,520
Speaker 1: one at all.

970
00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:10,880
Speaker 4: I just like to say, you to that senator.

971
00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:18,520
Speaker 1: Fascinating stuff, fascinating stuff Woes and then you got free

972
00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:24,359
Speaker 1: Woes like you know, trending on the player. Yeah, yeah,

973
00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:27,480
Speaker 1: definitely this is not gonna hurt Woes's brand by any meanings.

974
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:30,520
Speaker 1: I think that's fair fair to say.

975
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:34,400
Speaker 2: So who's suspended tomorrow? JD is suspended tomorrow.

976
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:40,560
Speaker 1: It sucks awesome. He's pumped, legit pumped, all right. A

977
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:45,280
Speaker 1: couple more here associated Press home to three Pistons titles.

978
00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:50,600
Speaker 1: The Palace of Auburn Hills demolished. Lee, You remember the Palace?

979
00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 1: Well is this dude?

980
00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:54,120
Speaker 3: Yeah? Well, their first two years in the Palace they

981
00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:56,480
Speaker 3: won championships, which is an incredible way to break in

982
00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:58,120
Speaker 3: a new arena. And then they picked up another one

983
00:46:58,120 --> 00:47:00,319
Speaker 3: in two thousand and four with the Pistons. So in

984
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:03,400
Speaker 3: what at about thirty years they picked up three championships.

985
00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:06,239
Speaker 3: That's a pretty good return for the NBA. And I

986
00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:08,279
Speaker 3: were in the finals again in I Fox that was

987
00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:10,000
Speaker 3: a pretty successful arena, but it was just in the

988
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:12,279
Speaker 3: wrong spot apparently. Yeah, I've never been there. I don't

989
00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:14,200
Speaker 3: know if your buddy Grish has been that big Pistons fan.

990
00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:17,160
Speaker 1: I was sending texts back and forth with Gresh about

991
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:20,800
Speaker 1: come on, give me some, you know, palace stories. He

992
00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:23,120
Speaker 1: had obviously been there. You know. The whole thing with

993
00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:24,799
Speaker 1: it is, Yeah, it was out of Detroit. It was

994
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:27,960
Speaker 1: like thirty miles I think it is northwest of the city.

995
00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:30,560
Speaker 1: And I asked Grisch, I was like, you know, you know,

996
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:32,360
Speaker 1: we always hear how big a deal that was. He

997
00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:34,360
Speaker 1: was like, it wasn't a big deal. Everybody lived in

998
00:47:34,360 --> 00:47:37,680
Speaker 1: the suburbs, you know, everybody lived outside of Detroit for

999
00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:40,160
Speaker 1: the most part, so it wasn't really that big a deal.

1000
00:47:40,840 --> 00:47:42,759
Speaker 1: Of course, they've now moved back to the city in

1001
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:45,480
Speaker 1: their new arena, into the Pizza Box. But test, you

1002
00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:47,399
Speaker 1: have been right. Didn't you go for a playoff series

1003
00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:48,200
Speaker 1: or might crazy?

1004
00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:52,280
Speaker 2: I know you're I wish I did. I wish. It's funny.

1005
00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:54,440
Speaker 2: It's funny because I wish I did, but I also

1006
00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:57,520
Speaker 2: wish I did. In two thousand and two, I was

1007
00:47:57,680 --> 00:48:00,759
Speaker 2: working that weekend. I was working not a sport check,

1008
00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:03,000
Speaker 2: had my shift selling shoes. So I said to my

1009
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:05,800
Speaker 2: friends who were going down for a playoff game Wraps

1010
00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:10,480
Speaker 2: Pistons Game one, I said, nah, gotta work, man, dedicated

1011
00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:13,720
Speaker 2: to the craft. I'm loyal, loyal to my sports check bosses.

1012
00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:17,040
Speaker 2: And they went down to It's a quick drive from Toronto,

1013
00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:23,600
Speaker 2: but they saw the Raptors get demolished like Auburn Hills

1014
00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:27,080
Speaker 2: was just demolished. They lost eighty five to sixty three.

1015
00:48:27,239 --> 00:48:31,520
Speaker 2: So I'm not too upset that I missed that ugly

1016
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:34,200
Speaker 2: ass game and it was a Sunday night. It was

1017
00:48:34,239 --> 00:48:36,600
Speaker 2: a weird eight thirty Sunday night. Tip you'd probably go

1018
00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:40,640
Speaker 2: have some fun, I guess afterwards. But noah, I'd never been.

1019
00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:43,880
Speaker 2: And I was just speaking of the demolishing. Did you

1020
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:48,320
Speaker 2: see the video of it coming down? It always amazes

1021
00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:50,640
Speaker 2: me that it came down so fast.

1022
00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:53,200
Speaker 1: It's so quick. Yeah, it's not even.

1023
00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:56,520
Speaker 2: Done in chunks, right, it was just done in one swoop.

1024
00:48:56,719 --> 00:49:00,400
Speaker 2: It's down in three seconds. That's it. Thirty years memories,

1025
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:00,879
Speaker 2: bye bye.

1026
00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:03,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, great name, I will say, the palace like that.

1027
00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:06,000
Speaker 3: That's a great name to have for your harm arene.

1028
00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:08,719
Speaker 3: A little bit better than better than you know, Scotia

1029
00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:09,360
Speaker 3: Bank Arena.

1030
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:09,400
Speaker 4: That.

1031
00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:15,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was. I was asking Chrish, like any favorite

1032
00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:17,920
Speaker 1: memories or whatever he did say, and he's right, I

1033
00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:20,640
Speaker 1: remember this at at the time, like you were saying,

1034
00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:24,680
Speaker 1: late eighties, Lee, it was one of the first modern arenas.

1035
00:49:24,719 --> 00:49:27,600
Speaker 1: Like it was because they were playing in the Silk

1036
00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:30,279
Speaker 1: Honniac Silver Dome, Yeah, which is obviously cavernous. It was

1037
00:49:30,320 --> 00:49:31,799
Speaker 1: like the it was like the Raptors playing in the

1038
00:49:31,800 --> 00:49:34,359
Speaker 1: SkyDome when they started, so then they hit their own

1039
00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:36,799
Speaker 1: sort of arena there, and yeah, it was pretty state

1040
00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:39,480
Speaker 1: of the art at the time, obviously aged as it

1041
00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:43,239
Speaker 1: went on, but he said he saw some great concerts there.

1042
00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:46,319
Speaker 1: First concert he ever saw JD like this, I think

1043
00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:52,080
Speaker 1: Page and Plant he saw, yeah at the Palace, saw

1044
00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:56,000
Speaker 1: Rage against the Machine there and Bush X.

1045
00:49:57,480 --> 00:50:05,920
Speaker 4: Yeah they would have been right, it was Troit So yeah.

1046
00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:06,640
Speaker 1: Because there was two bands, one Canadian and one American. Right,

1047
00:50:06,719 --> 00:50:09,560
Speaker 1: that's called Bush and one was forced to then go bush.

1048
00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:12,520
Speaker 4: X that yeah, which English? The English there was a

1049
00:50:12,560 --> 00:50:16,360
Speaker 4: Canadian band called Bush and so the English the actual

1050
00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:20,560
Speaker 4: famous band, Oh, Bush had to be called bush X

1051
00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:21,680
Speaker 4: in Canada only.

1052
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:24,200
Speaker 1: Oh, that's what it was.

1053
00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:27,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, so they would have been playing as Bush unless

1054
00:50:27,800 --> 00:50:31,200
Speaker 4: he was seeing the original Canadian Bush, which I doubt

1055
00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:33,359
Speaker 4: very much they were playing there.

1056
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:37,560
Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, Okay, that's very confusing.

1057
00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:39,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, it really is.

1058
00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:42,840
Speaker 1: He saw some great concerts there. I guess there's a

1059
00:50:42,840 --> 00:50:45,719
Speaker 1: new new mixed use development project planned for the site

1060
00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:47,600
Speaker 1: up there. Who knows what they're gonna do. Sure it'll

1061
00:50:47,600 --> 00:50:52,000
Speaker 1: be condos. It's always condos. Final one And I'm only

1062
00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:56,200
Speaker 1: asking this to uh to troll task. Here s n

00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:09,160
Speaker 2: In the words of Adrian Wojanowski, you skeets.

00:51:10,040 --> 00:51:12,279
Speaker 1: I don't want to talk about two people suspended.

1067

Speaker 2: no more Knicks talk until they pick a coach.

1069
00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:25,040
Speaker 4: We've talked about picking or interviewing and deciding about every

1070
00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:26,280
Speaker 4: single coach.

1071
00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:29,520

Speaker 1: say that. I remember, But it's commonly end of July.

1074
00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:37,239
Speaker 1: I mean, I wonder when they'll time this. This is

1075
00:51:37,280 --> 00:51:40,080
Speaker 1: fascinating a little bit. It's like, we know the season

1076
00:51:40,200 --> 00:51:42,280
Speaker 1: is going to start on the thirtieth, do the Knicks,

1077
00:51:42,320 --> 00:51:44,960
Speaker 1: like I don't know, for whatever reason, like try and

1078
00:51:45,040 --> 00:51:47,760
Speaker 1: bury the news like a day before, a day after

1079
00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:50,120
Speaker 1: the season starts. Like why would you do that? I

1080
00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:51,880
Speaker 1: guess that's another question. But what do you think is

1081
00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:53,400
Speaker 1: this news? Mike Woodson second.

1082
00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:55,600
Speaker 3: Well Woodson, Yeah, he was the coach they have the

1083
00:51:55,640 --> 00:51:57,600
Speaker 3: Knicks a few years ago, wasn't he. I think after

1084
00:51:57,680 --> 00:51:58,800
Speaker 3: d'An TONI I think.

1085
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:01,040
Speaker 1: In the good years when they made Whatson is the

1086
00:52:01,160 --> 00:52:03,240
Speaker 1: last k Next coach to win a playoff series?

1087
00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:06,080
Speaker 3: Yeah. I actually think Woodson has you know, has done

1088
00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:08,400
Speaker 3: a fine job there when he was there, considering the

1089
00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:12,120
Speaker 3: circumstances in New York. So I wish him all the best.

1090
00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:13,560
Speaker 3: I would love to see him back in the league

1091
00:52:13,600 --> 00:52:16,719
Speaker 3: because I think he deserves a shot. I don't, you know,

1092
00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:18,520
Speaker 3: I don't know the New York market is the right

1093
00:52:18,520 --> 00:52:22,839
Speaker 3: one for him. But we'll see. I mean, it's not,

1094
00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:25,360
Speaker 3: it's not. It's not an inviting job right now. To me,

1095
00:52:25,920 --> 00:52:27,839
Speaker 3: if you ask me that next position, I think it's

1096
00:52:28,480 --> 00:52:30,520
Speaker 3: whoever takes it's going to be tough for them. Think

1097
00:52:30,560 --> 00:52:32,600
Speaker 3: I think they need some big changes there first.

1098
00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:35,880
Speaker 1: What's fascinating about this as I read that, I guess

1099
00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:39,359
Speaker 1: David Fizdale, who was the next coach, he wanted Mike

1100
00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:44,000
Speaker 1: Woodson on his staff in New York, but New York

1101
00:52:44,160 --> 00:52:47,560
Speaker 1: management or the higher ups whoever, maybe it was Dawn,

1102
00:52:48,120 --> 00:52:52,880
Speaker 1: didn't want that, which is interesting. I just actually don't

1103
00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:55,200
Speaker 1: think with Leon Rose, you know, being in the new

1104
00:52:55,239 --> 00:52:57,560
Speaker 1: position of power there and all the guys they brought in,

1105
00:52:57,719 --> 00:53:01,799
Speaker 1: I don't see them picking like a a coach that

1106
00:53:01,880 --> 00:53:04,799
Speaker 1: was already there, you know, not all that long ago

1107
00:53:04,960 --> 00:53:07,880
Speaker 1: as their first reel. Like we're moving into the future

1108
00:53:08,640 --> 00:53:10,920
Speaker 1: with the Knicks here, I just I don't know. I'm

1109
00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:12,600
Speaker 1: doubtful task that it actually is him. I know you

1110
00:53:12,640 --> 00:53:14,120
Speaker 1: don't want to talk about this, but I don't. It's

1111
00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:15,640
Speaker 1: good he's got a second interview, and I do think

1112
00:53:15,640 --> 00:53:17,080
Speaker 1: he is somewhat of a talent coach and he had

1113
00:53:17,120 --> 00:53:19,640
Speaker 1: a great record with the Knicks and again, basically the

1114
00:53:19,719 --> 00:53:21,799
Speaker 1: last coach to do that. You can say that, but

1115
00:53:22,160 --> 00:53:23,960
Speaker 1: just be a weird pick to me. I think more

1116
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:26,520
Speaker 1: than anything, it's like, hey, we're the new guys here.

1117
00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:29,120
Speaker 1: We're picking a guy from you know whatever, seven years.

1118
00:53:28,920 --> 00:53:32,160
Speaker 2: Ago, right, weird. I think what they're going to time

1119
00:53:32,239 --> 00:53:36,200
Speaker 2: the decision with is when steven A. Smith is on vacation,

1120
00:53:36,840 --> 00:53:39,560
Speaker 2: and so they're going to make that decision and force

1121
00:53:39,600 --> 00:53:42,880
Speaker 2: stephen A. Smith to get on video camera from wherever

1122
00:53:42,920 --> 00:53:45,480
Speaker 2: he is, He's in Cabo or something, and be pissed

1123
00:53:45,520 --> 00:53:48,239
Speaker 2: off at a camera. And I think that will make

1124
00:53:48,840 --> 00:53:53,160
Speaker 2: some some good social media, some good video. That's that's

1125
00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:55,000
Speaker 2: all I really care about with this decision, is what

1126
00:53:55,080 --> 00:53:57,320
Speaker 2: steven A is going to how he's going to respond reaction.

1127
00:53:57,640 --> 00:54:00,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, that will be good regardless for sure. All right,

1128
00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:02,719
Speaker 1: let's call it there. With the headlines coming up tomorrow,
