Speaker 3: a big news drop while we were off. Lebron is
Speaker 3: going to the City of Brotherly Love. He's teaming up
Speaker 3: with Jaylen Brown, Joel Ebid and ty Reeves MAXI. Let's
Speaker 3: listen to jab He was on the stream I think
Speaker 3: tonight talking about teaming up with Lebron.
Speaker 2: Let's take a listen to what he had to say.
Speaker 6: Super excited for this upcoming season. Yo, we got Bron,
Speaker 6: And like, what an opportunity that is? Like, obviously, everybody's
Speaker 6: gonna say whatever they want to say, and there's gonna
Speaker 6: be a bunch of media this whole entire season, But like,
Speaker 6: for me, like what an opportunity is to learn? One
Speaker 6: of my favorite things to do is to learn. Despite
Speaker 6: what people may say, despite what people may feel about,
Speaker 6: my favorite thing to do is to learn. I love learning,
Speaker 6: so like to have the opportunity to learn one from
Speaker 6: one of the if not the greatest player of all time,
Speaker 6: you know, I get an opportunity to, like on the court,
Speaker 6: off the court, learning, gather experiences that can accumulate to
Speaker 6: my own knowledge base.
Speaker 3: Oh, Joe, for the longest time, you've been telling him,
Speaker 3: You've been telling the chat and Joe and I that
Speaker 3: he's going to Miami?
Speaker 5: Are yes?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 3: Side that the pivot because a lot of people said, okay, Miami,
Speaker 3: it could be Cleveland going home for the final chapter.
Speaker 3: Dorothy said in the Wither, there's no place like home,
Speaker 3: There's no lie like home. A lot of people now saying, well,
Speaker 3: I don't really think, and you hear Draymond say, I
Speaker 3: don't think Golden State was an option because of Steph
Speaker 3: and the heated ribery between the two. But he pivots
Speaker 3: and he goes to Philly. Yes, what are your thoughts
Speaker 3: not going to Miami? And then are you surprised that
Speaker 3: he ended up in Philly? And what do you expect
Speaker 3: from them this year?
Speaker 4: Well, obviously I'm not surprised at all. Obviously, me being
Speaker 4: a Florida native, a Miami native, a supporter of the
Speaker 4: Miami Heat, I always wanted was best for that team.
Speaker 4: Lebron being free, I'm kind of guess right, you know,
Speaker 4: for the most part, when it came to free agency
Speaker 4: with certain players, with Yannis coming here, and I thought, honestly,
Speaker 4: I thought Lebron was coming as well. I think one
Speaker 4: of the things that did hurt us is us not
Speaker 4: having shooters, not having anyone on.
Speaker 5: The perimeter that can really shoot the ball.
Speaker 4: I think it's a good decision on Lebron's part, especially
Speaker 4: at forty one, forty two years old, in his twenty third,
Speaker 4: twenty fourth year in the league. In the NBA in general,
Speaker 4: this is a chance and opportunity to go to a
Speaker 4: team where the supporting cast is extremely stellar, but he
Speaker 4: doesn't have to do that much. I think this is
Speaker 4: a team where he didn't have to carry the load
Speaker 4: he has MAXI, he had Jaylen Brown.
Speaker 5: He has asked him. He has an EMBIID.
Speaker 4: So that is like to me, excuse my reference and
Speaker 4: analogy and using in football, since with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers,
Speaker 4: they needed one piece to get over the hump coming
Speaker 4: off one season with Joe when they had Jamis Winston,
Speaker 4: it was this thirty thirty year, thirty toestsounds with a
Speaker 4: phenomenon even but he had thirty interceptions. I think that
Speaker 4: missing piece to the Philadelphia six is trusting the piece,
Speaker 4: trusting the process piece that can get them to their
Speaker 4: end goal is adding Lebron to that team, and this
Speaker 4: might be the year they do it and come out
Speaker 4: the East.
Speaker 2: What do you think, Joe?
Speaker 1: Man, Listen, I've been telling y'all this since we first
Speaker 1: heard the rumors, Oh Joe, like, oh, no, you And
Speaker 1: honestly and honestly, this the Sixers team wasn't the team
Speaker 1: that I thought he was going to But hey, man,
Speaker 1: make it make sense for me.
Speaker 2: When I hear.
Speaker 1: JB come out and speak the way he speaks, saying
Speaker 1: that he's looking to learn.
Speaker 2: He kept saying the word learn, man, it says a lot.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: JB's character has been somewhat assassassinated, and has been assassinated
Speaker 1: because of analytics saying that.
Speaker 2: He's not a great player, bro, And I.
Speaker 1: Think he fuels that he's gonna fuel from that and
Speaker 1: he's gonna use this season, bro to to help the
Speaker 1: Sixers try and win a title. I think Lebron kind
Speaker 1: of understood that having MAXI having edge, come having JB
Speaker 1: having mb Damn man, I could just come out of
Speaker 1: orchestrate this thing. Oh Joe, you know, I ain't gotta
Speaker 1: do a whole hell of a lot. You know what
Speaker 1: I mean. So it make a lot of sense to
Speaker 1: me because we always talk about in the NBA in
Speaker 1: order to win. When you look at teams like the Knicks, hell,
Speaker 1: they beat you in a multitude of the ways, with
Speaker 1: a multitude of people. This is what Lebron is looking for.
Speaker 1: He's looking to go to Philly and like, look, man,
Speaker 1: I ain't gotta be historically great every day an night
Speaker 1: for us to win a game.
Speaker 2: I got this.
Speaker 1: Masariety over here. I got this Lambeau over here. Hey man,
Speaker 1: we're gonna pull all these things out and have a party.
Speaker 2: You feel me? So I like it.
Speaker 1: And when those guys buy in to whatever it is
Speaker 1: Lebron's selling, bro s guy's living for the Sixers.
Speaker 2: Man, I like it. I do too. I'm happy for him.
Speaker 3: I'm surprised you said something very interesting, Joe about the
Speaker 3: way the Knicks ended up winning the title. Because og
Speaker 3: was it was og one night, it was at one night,
Speaker 3: it was Josh Hart one night.
Speaker 2: It was always a different guy.
Speaker 3: Now the guy they could constantly count on with Jaylen Bronson,
Speaker 3: because what it got clutch time when they were down
Speaker 3: all those points and somebody else might have helped them
Speaker 3: get reattacked. But that's when Levin took the I think
Speaker 3: he's number eleven. I think he ended up taking the
Speaker 3: ball game over and so now you gotta we know
Speaker 3: what Joe ellenbid is. He's a former MVP. We know
Speaker 3: what JB JB was twenty eight points with an All
Speaker 3: NBA selection. Tyrese MAXI back to back, if I'm not mistaken,
Speaker 3: back to back years an All Star. Edgecombe is an
Speaker 3: up and coming player. They have the pieces now fitting
Speaker 3: around him. KCP. I think he got a bout. They're
Speaker 3: gonna have to be able to knock down three Ocho.
Speaker 3: You mentioned Tom Brady and people like, well, why would
Speaker 3: he go to Tampa? He they had two Pro Bowl receivers,
Speaker 3: they had an outstanding defense, outstanding, young, homey, hungry, vicious,
Speaker 3: the same reason Peyton went to the Denver Broncos. Do
Speaker 3: y'all remember what they had up there? They had Da
Speaker 3: Marius Thomas rest his soul, Eric Decker, Julius Thomas, No
Speaker 3: Sean marin On. They had a Von Miller, They had
Speaker 3: Chris Harris Jr. They had Bradley had Bradley Roby. Now
Speaker 3: they got to ask some other pieces. They go next
Speaker 3: year they'll go get a DeMarcus where they go get
Speaker 3: a key to leave, and you see what happens m
Speaker 3: VP for Peyton Manning. They get to the Super Bowl,
Speaker 3: they get thrashed and tower bow forty eight against the Seahawks. Yeah,
Speaker 3: they come back in fifty and they win it, win
Speaker 3: it all. So I'm happy for him. This seems look
Speaker 3: he's like, but I don't get what I don't get.
Speaker 3: This is what I don't get, Guys. I need y'all
Speaker 3: to help me because I happen to be on Fox
Speaker 3: when Lebron went to went to La Damn there to
Speaker 3: a man. He didn't go to La to catch Michael Jordan.
Speaker 3: He went to be Michael B Jordan. He went to retire.
Speaker 3: He even La La Land. No way you thought this man.
Speaker 1: Could win a championship with the pieces that they had
Speaker 1: their LA they killed him chat.
Speaker 3: You know, I'm telling the truth. That's what everybody said.
Speaker 3: He didn't go to catch Michael Jordan. He went to
Speaker 3: catch Mike be Jordan. Now he goes to a team
Speaker 3: that have pieces that have really good players. Oh he
Speaker 3: ring chasing. Yeah, I need y'all to make it make sense.
Speaker 3: I need y'all to pick a side. If whatever side
Speaker 3: you decided to stay on, I'm cool with it. But
Speaker 3: the very people that said he wasn't trying to win,
Speaker 3: So what is he supposed to do now? You said
Speaker 3: if Lebron was serious about winning, he would take less
Speaker 3: money with how much more or less money is four
Speaker 3: million dollars you wanted to play for free? I don't
Speaker 3: think the NBA letter played for free, but four million
Speaker 3: dollars compared to what he was making. Now is reported
Speaker 3: that the Clippers offered him one year deal twenty million dollars. Like, nah,
Speaker 3: I want that. Maybe they could have cleared out fifteen
Speaker 3: million with the Warriors. Maybe they could have got a
Speaker 3: little mid level exception for the Miami Heat. Don't know,
Speaker 3: but all I know is he says he believes that
Speaker 3: he's held he could be a piece to a winning
Speaker 3: a championship. All the people that said the very reason
Speaker 3: that he went to LA wasn't to win criticize him
Speaker 3: now that he goes back to Philly with a chance
Speaker 3: to win. You know, nobody thought Philly was stacked until
Speaker 3: he joined them. You know that you ever noticed?
Speaker 2: Damn? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Hey, now hey, I'm like, well, damn, It's like I
Speaker 3: was always well, Shannon, you can't play. Why can't I play?
Speaker 3: Because you make the team uneven with damn? How I
Speaker 3: make the team of me?
Speaker 1: I'm teaming just like you.
Speaker 3: Right, Lebron makes the team uneasy? A forty two year old?
Speaker 3: Really a forty two year old Joe? I thought he
Speaker 3: wasn't any good?
Speaker 1: Nah No, come on, y'all see how that man take
Speaker 1: care of himself. How he'm in the gym every damn morning.
Speaker 1: Come on, man, that man he playing for something too.
Speaker 1: He playing for his legacy. He know, going to Philly.
Speaker 1: Hell unk, da ain't wanting How long? How long's twenty
Speaker 1: three years? Nineteen eighty three, they swept the Lakers forty
Speaker 1: three years, So you know Broun got that and be like, man,
Speaker 1: look I take this franchise, oh Joe, I take this
Speaker 1: franchise and sixers to the top. We get to the
Speaker 1: mountain top and win. Come on, man, I ain't gotta
Speaker 1: catch mj.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: But I've done something that that that that no other
Speaker 1: domba that.
Speaker 3: He would have won a championship with Joe. Huh, this
Speaker 3: would be the fourth team if he went to win.
Speaker 3: If he were to win a championship. It would be
Speaker 3: the fourth team Miami Cleveland Lakers now the Sixers. Now
Speaker 3: Cleveland had never won a championship. He helped get them one.
Speaker 3: And then the last time, the last time the Heat
Speaker 3: had won a championship about seven years. The last time
Speaker 3: the Lakers had won a championship, it was what ten
Speaker 3: so ten years and now we're talking.
Speaker 2: About forty three years.
Speaker 3: But if you remember the year before, at eighty two,
Speaker 3: they had lost to the Lakers. They come back, they
Speaker 3: get more, mos said, four four damn four four fo.
Speaker 2: He got him up out of there. Yeah.
Speaker 4: And you know the funny thing too, Joe, you you mentioned,
Speaker 4: you mentioned this legacy. I think Lebron actually going to Philly.
Speaker 4: Let's let's just say he doesn't happen to win a
Speaker 4: championship and things don't.
Speaker 5: Go the way we think they may go. As far
Speaker 5: as his legacy is.
Speaker 4: Gonna earn, it's a minute at this point, Uncle Joe,
Speaker 4: it's a minute. I don't think he can do no wrong.
Speaker 4: There's nothing that can tarnish his legacy. He can add
Speaker 4: to it in history, he can add to it, but
Speaker 4: he can't do anything to actually harm it.
Speaker 5: Obviously, I wanted him.
Speaker 4: I want him to come here in Miami, understand the
Speaker 4: pieces that are missing and come for.
Speaker 5: Him to have a chance to I mean no, listen.
Speaker 4: And listen, I understand the pieces that are missing here
Speaker 4: in Miami, you know, thinking about it being too much,
Speaker 4: too much on him not not having the the the
Speaker 4: extras needed, you know, to to be able to do
Speaker 4: what he need to do down here in Miami. It's
Speaker 4: not I'm I'm happy. I'm happy for him. I'm not
Speaker 4: happy for him, but I'm happy.
Speaker 5: For him if that.
Speaker 3: But help me understand, Joe and you you you you
Speaker 3: played the game. Why is it that him going to
Speaker 3: Philly and not winning a championship would harm his legacy?
Speaker 3: But Michael Jordan going to Washington did nothing hard. Oh,
Speaker 3: he was just going to have fun. He just wanted
Speaker 3: to play. You see, so let me ask you a question,
Speaker 3: how do you want to checkampionship? Would he had turned
Speaker 3: it down, what would you have said, Michael Jordan goes
Speaker 3: to Washington when's seven he's seven and zero. Yeah, that's
Speaker 3: what would have been said. Yeah, I'm not making this up.
Speaker 3: See what Hey, there's benefit and oh Joe I had
Speaker 3: we had this discussion when we first started the show,
Speaker 3: I said, and I said, O, Joe, at some point
Speaker 3: in time, you realized the only thing left to do
Speaker 3: is to get old. Been fifty eight years of age
Speaker 3: and really understanding the game of basketball and seeing the
Speaker 3: trans the transformation of it. I'm old enough to remember. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I'm old enough to remember. And we're gonna address the
Speaker 3: topic in a second about Lebron and Jalen Rose what
Speaker 3: he had to say. But I just don't. I just
Speaker 3: need people to help me understand. What is it about
Speaker 3: this man that rubs you so wrong, that that upset
Speaker 3: so many. We've never seen it. We've never seen a
Speaker 3: more polarizing figure. And once upon a time I thought
Speaker 3: it was Tim Tebow, But this is Tim, wrote Tim
Speaker 3: Tebow on steroids, growth harmone Insolince.
Speaker 2: They could go.
Speaker 1: All that.
Speaker 4: Well, listen, the question you just asked is the reason
Speaker 4: why they don't like him. The question you just asked,
Speaker 4: why don't they because we've never seen it before, Joe,
Speaker 4: Because the expectations that he had on his shoulders coming
Speaker 4: out of the high school, many people thought he wouldn't
Speaker 4: be able to maintain it, let alone exceed him the
Speaker 4: way he has. He superseded everything, not only his own
Speaker 4: personal goals, hell, everyone else's, everyone else's expectations on the
Speaker 4: outside looking in, he've exceeded theirs as well. So the
Speaker 4: only thing left to do is for those they got to.
Speaker 5: Find something wrong with it.
Speaker 4: They got to it, and every time they throw something Atty,
Speaker 4: he come back with something else.
Speaker 5: And he's still going at this age.
Speaker 4: Still playing quality basketball at his age, still one of
Speaker 4: the best in the game at his age.
Speaker 5: Of course, people aren't gonna like that.
Speaker 4: And the funny thing about it is most of the hating,
Speaker 4: some of the hater is coming from those that playing
Speaker 4: on the same type of hard wood he did.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's tough, you know.
Speaker 1: I think I think he's gonna supersede the expectations. Man.
Speaker 1: I think Bruhn understands and knows Ocho that and man,
Speaker 1: it's come with the territory, bro, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: Like it's just another stepping stone in the right direction
Speaker 1: and trying to make it a part of history.
Speaker 2: Going going to Philly.
Speaker 1: It's definitely a risk, but I think it's the risk
Speaker 1: that he's willing to take, knowing and understanding that man
Speaker 1: at that point guard spot, Ocho. You got to have
Speaker 1: a guard, bro, who's gonna be able to get money.
Speaker 1: That's that's the most valued position in basketball right now,
Speaker 1: just like football is a quarterback. If you ain't got
Speaker 1: no good quarterback, hell, it's gonna be hard to win.
Speaker 1: Just like in basketball, man, if if your point guard
Speaker 1: can't get money, control both ends of the floor at
Speaker 1: some point, man, it's.
Speaker 3: Gonna be hard to win in this league nowadays. Joe,
Speaker 3: you said something I heard you while I was off camera.
Speaker 3: You said, he understands that comes with the territory. Tell me,
Speaker 3: in the history of the sport, a man that's faced
Speaker 3: this level of histraw, when he's been this good, has
Speaker 3: nothing off the field as far as we he hasn't
Speaker 3: been in the Blotterer.
Speaker 2: He hasn't got a d e I, d a d
Speaker 2: u I.
Speaker 3: He's been exemplary as far as we know, off the field,
Speaker 3: off the court, married to his high school, been together
Speaker 3: since the eighth grade, raising three beautiful kids. I just
Speaker 3: need somebody to tell me. I just need I need
Speaker 3: somebody in the chat tell me what it is.
Speaker 2: Tell me the man.
Speaker 3: That wasn't he just played, tell me what is it
Speaker 3: about him that he listens.
Speaker 1: Such a reaction, be it good or bad with this man, Man, listen,
Speaker 1: it's the admiration, it's the longevity. People tied a hint.
Speaker 1: People tired of the glazing, bro. They tired of the
Speaker 1: glazing of Lebron, that's what they call it. They tied
Speaker 1: of you know what I mean? When you've been great
Speaker 1: for so long, at some point, man ain't gonna start
Speaker 1: throwing sticks.
Speaker 2: Let mesk your question. Tell me the time that do
Speaker 2: you remember?
Speaker 3: Do you understand people been glazing Michael Jordan's sister Shoe
Speaker 3: team out, Yeah, eighty four.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're talking about forty two years.
Speaker 2: Yes, sir, we'll talk about forty two years.
Speaker 4: Yeah, But you gotta understand Jordan has been the standard
Speaker 4: with no comparison, with no comparison, there was nothing to
Speaker 4: compare to it. Therefore, glazing and appreciating what Michael has
Speaker 4: done over the years, not only on the court, but
Speaker 4: off the court culturally, what he's done for us culturally.
Speaker 5: You know, in general. So it's kind of different.
Speaker 4: Now someone has come along that is comparable that to
Speaker 4: that of Michael Jordan, what he's done on the court.
Speaker 5: Now you have issues.
Speaker 4: Now you spin the committee up of those who enjoyed
Speaker 4: the game of basketball. So they gonna they gonna nitpick
Speaker 4: every any in which way they can when it comes.
Speaker 1: To those, Well, Lebron's game is so you know what.
Speaker 5: Joe completely different if they.
Speaker 1: Didn't get mad at Kobe, who basically copping he's a fact.
Speaker 2: Simile of Jordan.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if Lebron had did that, I was like, bro,
Speaker 1: come on now, if he had did what I did
Speaker 1: to my brother, everything that my brother did, I did,
Speaker 1: he had that.
Speaker 3: I said, come on now, Lebron Dale his game is
Speaker 3: the only thing that he got. Well two things. He
Speaker 3: got the number and he got the poddle toss. But
Speaker 3: he Jordan throw the poddle toss. I think he just
Speaker 3: patted it in his hand like this. Now he might have.
Speaker 3: I mean people that people didn't put it on it
Speaker 3: like like they do now. They if you got a celebration,
Speaker 3: they got fifteen These guys got fifteen handshakes. They got
Speaker 3: a handshake with every guy.
Speaker 1: They got a handshake with the day and the camera
Speaker 1: lady they got a handshake with. I was like, with damn,
Speaker 1: how y'all remember all this? And as Brun, he Brun
Speaker 1: started out that he started out and he damp up
Speaker 1: the dude, the security dude at today when he come
Speaker 1: before he come in, the dude that the dude at
Speaker 1: the desk, he dapping him up. Hey, we had one
Speaker 1: thing dimmer. Okay, get it gold cook. But I just
Speaker 1: say the thing is, I believe that we could appreciate.
Speaker 3: Because you like Michael Jordan, that doesn't mean you have
Speaker 3: to hate Kobe or Lebron or any other else. Because
Speaker 3: you like Lebron, that doesn't mean you have to dislike.
Speaker 3: And it took me a while to get that because
Speaker 3: I get this lot when people say, and Joe's having
Speaker 3: the conversation, we had a conversation when I told you
Speaker 3: to call you the other day and a couple of
Speaker 3: days and telling how great a job you were doing,
Speaker 3: I said, Joe, I had to get out of this,
Speaker 3: Oh Joe. When somebody gave their opinion, they asked, okay,
Speaker 3: that's his list. That's his list where people ask me,
Speaker 3: what's your favorite food? I like chicken breads.
Speaker 1: Chicken breads. You don't like them, bro, I ain't killed nobody.
Speaker 2: I said, that's fine, so you can have you.
Speaker 3: But just because I like chicken breas, that doesn't mean
Speaker 3: I got a poop on ox tails or ribs lives
Speaker 3: or a shrimp. I can't eat shell fish. I'm allergic.
Speaker 3: But but that's that's all I'm saying. We've never seen
Speaker 3: in the history of the game.
Speaker 1: And I go back.
Speaker 3: The first championship I can remember was the seventy six
Speaker 3: ers playing the Portland Trailblazers. Philly got out to a
Speaker 3: two oh lead the Portland trail Blazers, Big Bill wrote
Speaker 3: in Big Red. Doctor Jack Ramsey was the head coach.
Speaker 3: They had line On Hollered a few other guys, but
Speaker 3: those were the two main, two main guys.
Speaker 1: So I go back that far. That's fifty years. That's
Speaker 1: fifty I remember that I've never seen it. And all
Speaker 1: the years I remember when I remember when NBA was
Speaker 1: on CBS, Bill.
Speaker 3: Russell was calling games. How many y'all remember that? You
Speaker 3: remember Bill Russell's calling game Joe Casey Joe Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: Call games? Yeah all them? Yeah, I ain't know that.
Speaker 2: Then it went Then it went to NBC. Uh.
Speaker 3: Marv Apple was played by player Bill Costas Peter VESSI
Speaker 3: was on the sideline amar Rashad. Not one person, one person,
Speaker 3: nobody has had a relationship with a player like Amar
Speaker 3: Rashad had with Michael Jordan. Not one person ever said
Speaker 3: he glades. Not one person ever said he was on
Speaker 3: the play payroll. Not one person. Now, if you like
Speaker 3: a player, you're on the payroll.
Speaker 1: And what they said that chat hey, And and it's
Speaker 1: because how we ingest the information and how we see everything,
Speaker 1: and today the media is different.
Speaker 2: It wasn't that much. Damn.
Speaker 1: You couldn't only see that on the Amar Rashand show.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, on the Sunday on the
Speaker 1: Sunday Game of the week.
Speaker 2: You know what I mean? Now we did?
Speaker 1: We we ingest so much, bro like and and I
Speaker 1: feel like media is at the at all time high.
Speaker 1: Would a lot with a lot of former athletes, you know,
Speaker 1: giving back, that's a good thing, Joe, No, it is,
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: So many more because there's so many more outlets, Joe,
Speaker 3: there's so many more opportunities for you to get revenue.
Speaker 1: Back then there was only one place. Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 1: So you got so many people. It's a lot of
Speaker 1: people with different opinions.
Speaker 2: And that is your opinion.
Speaker 3: But let me ask you a question, when did this
Speaker 3: So what were Michael Jordan's fans called? Where they called
Speaker 3: fans or were they called stans? What was Kobe fans called?
Speaker 3: Where they called fans or they called stans?
Speaker 1: What was Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Hakeem, Elijah One, Charles Barkley,
Speaker 1: doctor j What were their fans called?
Speaker 2: Were they called fans or what they called stands? Joe?
Speaker 2: I thought to you.
Speaker 1: First, what were they called fans or stands? Yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: they were called fans.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I got it, I got it, I got it,
Speaker 4: I got it.
Speaker 2: Oh, Joe, what do they call lebron fans? Okay?
Speaker 4: I mean obviously it stands right now. You gotta understand culturally,
Speaker 4: the lingo has changed since then. So back then, Larry Bird,
Speaker 4: Michael Jordan's, Magic Johnson, they had fans. Now, you know,
Speaker 4: we were ushering in a new generation that has changed
Speaker 4: the way we talk.
Speaker 5: They changed the dialogue.
Speaker 1: I know what it was.
Speaker 3: They weren't saying nobody, Oh you jockey, that man, get
Speaker 3: up that man, John That go way back.
Speaker 1: Okay, because you said the lingo change. So back then
Speaker 1: it was called jockey. So who said you jockey? Jordan's
Speaker 1: Who's saying you jocking?
Speaker 2: Kobe?
Speaker 1: Who said you jockey Magic called Larry. I'm glad you
Speaker 1: did that. You gotta do sometimes you gotta open the
Speaker 1: door because oh Joe don't want to just don't want
Speaker 1: to open the door, So I I gotta kind of
Speaker 1: nudge it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I gotta try to nudget.
Speaker 2: I'm glad you said that. Yeah, that's all I'm saying.
Speaker 1: You can look, I broh, y'all see all them damn
Speaker 1: Jordan shoes I got. Yeah, y'all see y'all see all
Speaker 1: them Kobe shoes I got.
Speaker 2: I love them all. I do believe. I do believe.
Speaker 1: I can appreciate Lebron, I can appreciate Kobe, I can
Speaker 1: appreciate Jordan.
Speaker 3: I believe that now you got who you believe is
Speaker 3: the goal. That's an argument that's never gonna be decided.
Speaker 3: They never got an opportunity to play each other. George
Speaker 3: says it's not fair for him to save him to
Speaker 3: go because I didn't play against you know, some of
Speaker 3: the Bill Russells. I didn't play against the Wilt Chambers.
Speaker 3: I didn't play against some of those guys. And some
Speaker 3: of the guys that's gonna come along didn't play against me,
Speaker 3: and some of the guys didn't play against lebron and
Speaker 3: so forth and so on.
Speaker 2: So I get it.
Speaker 3: I get what he's saying. It's hard to transfer errors
Speaker 3: because things are different. Technology is different. Oh you, it's different.
Speaker 3: Now guys are able to train and all the You
Speaker 3: see that one hundred and seventy five million dollars facility
Speaker 3: the Broncos just bill o jo ooh I seen one
Speaker 3: hundred and seventy five Oh they got they got an
Speaker 3: Olympic size cold plunge.
Speaker 1: They gotta. They gotta the.
Speaker 3: Locker room about Joe, one hundred and two seats. You
Speaker 3: can only have fifty three guys on the roster with
Speaker 3: another fifteen, so bad, you can have a seventy. They

Speaker 2: the rint.
Speaker 1: I'm still right stay in my black ass right here
Speaker 1: and listen.
Speaker 5: When one thing not to go out, not to go
Speaker 5: off topic.
Speaker 4: When we talk about upgrades, and what teams have done
Speaker 4: to improve their facilities. I had opportunity, obviously, while I
Speaker 4: was off, being that I had to work and had
Speaker 4: the working work in Carolina, Uncle, had an opportunity to
Speaker 4: go to the Panthers practice.
Speaker 5: I was able to see the Panther facility. Man, it's
Speaker 5: the temple man.
Speaker 4: What he did and putting that facility for those players,
Speaker 4: you know, for the for the amenities that they have. Joe,
Speaker 4: I ain't never seen nothing like that, Joe. I thought
Speaker 4: the Bengals was what stated on which it is.
Speaker 6: No.
Speaker 5: No, hey, listen to me.
Speaker 4: He all jokes aside. I'm not talking about the old Bengals.
Speaker 4: I'm talking about the new Bengals.
Speaker 1: Of what they did.
Speaker 4: It's crazy. So then I go to the Panthers. They
Speaker 4: got the same stuff the Bengals got. They've added all
Speaker 4: this stuff that I think for us, I mean, it
Speaker 4: would have been great to have at the time, but
Speaker 4: in a sense, I don't think we needed all that.
Speaker 5: The red light therapy, the saunas, the therapist they got.
Speaker 4: Hey, Joe, listen, they got the many they listen to
Speaker 4: many nutrition bars and the shakes and the vanilla's and
Speaker 4: the fruit and and then I go to Chicago, Joe.
Speaker 4: Two days ago I was in Chicago. I went to
Speaker 4: Chicago practice man. Who's the owner of the Bears.
Speaker 3: Uh, Miss hallis the Hallas is found of the Bears.
Speaker 3: He passed it to Dr daughter Virginia McCaskey. She passed away.
Speaker 3: It's her son, but it's still in the family.

Speaker 5: job over there to uncle.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you hear me.
Speaker 5: With the facilities, with the amenities, the practice field.
Speaker 4: It's ridiculous that at this point I understand it is
Speaker 4: the NFL, right, but based on what I used to

Speaker 4: high school one of the last time you been to
Speaker 4: your high school?

Speaker 3: the spots.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but but that's okay though, win and win. We
Speaker 1: don't put we won't putting no judgment on you, and
Speaker 1: it don't remember no bad he ain't no bad brother
Speaker 1: because of that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, it is what it is, hey. Jayali Rose
Speaker 2: also has some thoughts.
Speaker 3: He said the NBA coverage has become so weak weak
Speaker 3: excuse me, uh, is now led by men, women who
Speaker 3: didn't play, or Lebron stands, former teammates.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm, Joe, what's your take? He said that the
Speaker 1: take on say it again, Mbrigg.
Speaker 3: He says NBA coverage has become so weak, is now
Speaker 3: led by men, women who didn't play, or Lebron stands
Speaker 3: or former teammates.
Speaker 2: Now I think it is some of his former teammates.
Speaker 1: But you got a lot of ex professional basketball players
Speaker 1: who's played the game at the high level, who's one
Speaker 1: championships here, who's one championship with Lebron? And they know
Speaker 1: what it takes to get to the top. So you know,
Speaker 1: they they they got their breakdowns and critiques of you
Speaker 1: know the game just as well as anybody else.
Speaker 2: Bro, You know what I mean.
Speaker 1: I don't think it. I don't think it's a bad thing.
Speaker 1: Because you ain't played the game, you can't commentate the
Speaker 1: game or you ain't. If you got knowledge of the game,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying you and you know what
Speaker 1: the eye test tells you. You know what I mean,
Speaker 1: You've done your homework on the game. I don't see
Speaker 1: nothing wrong with that, bro So, but maybe he looking
Speaker 1: through a different lens.
Speaker 2: Oo.
Speaker 3: Some of the best, some of the best coaches, some
Speaker 3: of the best people to analyze games, weren't your best players, right,
Speaker 3: see this notion. Everybody that played, everybody that played a
Speaker 3: particular sport that was great. That doesn't mean they can
Speaker 3: talk about it. Hell, we've seen that. We've seen some
Speaker 3: of the NFL's best players. We've seen some of the
Speaker 3: NBA's best players. We've say seen some of the best
Speaker 3: MLB players. Can't talk to the game of football, can't
Speaker 3: talk to the game of baseball. Can't talk to them
Speaker 3: and talk it. When I say talk it, put it
Speaker 3: in a contact the casual, the laate fan, not the
Speaker 3: hardened fans. Because the thing that people fail to realize
Speaker 3: it is the casual fans that spend their money. Yeah,
Speaker 3: regardless of the sport, it's the casual And put it
Speaker 3: in a term that they can understand.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think.
Speaker 4: I think what makes it so difficult is those that
Speaker 4: played the game, that played it, especially at a very
Speaker 4: high level, most of them can't explain it.
Speaker 5: No, most most of them can't explain it.
Speaker 4: That's the skill in itself, not only be able to
Speaker 4: play it at a high level, but to be able
Speaker 4: to sit there on camera and explain it and break
Speaker 4: it down in a way that not just those that
Speaker 4: do play it, but those that don't play it understand.
Speaker 5: Exactly what you're talking about. That's that's very difficult to do.
Speaker 3: Did you think about it. One of the best football
Speaker 3: or color guys is who John Madden. That's simplis, Yes,
Speaker 3: you gotta pull here, you gotta pull here, you circle
Speaker 3: and sweat.
Speaker 1: Boom, boom, boom.
Speaker 3: They loved it. How many image did he win? Charles
Speaker 3: never goes to the board. How many grammar is if
Speaker 3: Charles won? Because at the end of the day, when
Speaker 3: y'all want to get down through those hearts, it's still
Speaker 3: the fans want to be entertained and boom and circling,
Speaker 3: sweat and pulling here and this guy there, Charles making
Speaker 3: those comments about people in San Antonio or this one
Speaker 3: of that one or this guy right here they gone fishing.
Speaker 3: I bet you the highest segment is when they do
Speaker 3: the golde fishing. I bet you the highest segment is
Speaker 3: when shocked in the food. I bet you the highest
Speaker 3: segment is shocked. When Charles is cracking jokes about certain
Speaker 3: demographics in certain areas.
Speaker 2: The casual fan can't.
Speaker 3: The casual fan doesn't understand what a pen down is,
Speaker 3: what a one four where the nails with a flare
Speaker 3: with a flopping.
Speaker 1: They don't under the dunker spot. They don't understand. So
Speaker 1: why would you try to put that on him? Because
Speaker 1: you want to show how intelligent you are.
Speaker 2: What I look like? What I look like?
Speaker 3: I said, Oh, Joe, here is the situation here. They
Speaker 3: didn't cover six. As a matter of fact, they are six.
Speaker 3: Kid it with an underfront?
Speaker 6: What front?
Speaker 1: If you think about it, Oh Joe, what what?
Speaker 2: What The fans know? They know too deep, they know
Speaker 2: man mm hmm.
Speaker 3: There's so many coverages in between cover yeah, man and
Speaker 3: covered too. There's so many more coverages.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 5: It's a small percentage that you understand that played the game.
Speaker 1: Yes, that's been observing the game, and that's that's that
Speaker 1: he wants to understand.
Speaker 2: So when you hear people talk. He wants to know.
Speaker 3: Oh that guy was in a wide nine. Oh he's
Speaker 3: a cowboy. Oh he's in the seven. He's in a
Speaker 3: five tech. Oh he's a three. He's an under, he's
Speaker 3: a he's an a timpt. Oh they ran a text,
Speaker 3: they ran a WX, they ran a E T A
Speaker 3: T E. Don't want to Oh, Joe, come on? Did
Speaker 3: jial ruler thumb?
Speaker 2: Joe?
Speaker 1: Oh? Joe, K I s S keep it simple, stupid,
Speaker 1: that's it.
Speaker 3: I like the fact that there's so many more platforms
Speaker 3: that it gives so many more guys an opportunity, and
Speaker 3: normally when guys don't pan out, they move on and
Speaker 3: give somebody else an opportunity.
Speaker 2: I just want to know what he what he wants.
Speaker 3: The coverage is gonna be, because if you just saw
Speaker 3: ex of the Nose, ain't nobody tuning in for that.
Speaker 2: Here, nobody turning it.
Speaker 1: In for that?
Speaker 2: What you think, Joe, we're talking about what jaylen Road
Speaker 2: was talking about, right? Yes? Yeah, I said that.
Speaker 1: Uh. I think people who hadn't played the game before
Speaker 1: it still can be knowledgeable of the game as well
Speaker 1: and still come to take the game, talk about the
Speaker 1: game and and and get and give great takes. I
Speaker 1: think you necessarily have to be an ex professional athlete.
Speaker 1: There are some people who are really really great and
Speaker 1: what they do really good, and they study and they
Speaker 1: do their damn homework and they break it down to
Speaker 1: the team.
Speaker 3: Look, Mark, I think Mark Jackson was exemplary. Mark Jackson
Speaker 3: was not the greatest point guard to play, but his
Speaker 3: analysis of the game was spot on.
Speaker 1: Man, Jeff Van Gundy wasn't the best coach, but he
Speaker 1: did a damn good job. Hubie Brown did a damn
Speaker 1: good job. Yeah, them some great ones.
Speaker 3: Boy, it's it's it's it's a game is harder than
Speaker 3: than studio because studio you're talking about what has happened
Speaker 3: or what.
Speaker 2: You think will happen. A color is in real time.
Speaker 2: You would have got like three seconds. Yeah.
Speaker 3: So and at least in football, oh, Jo, they're gonna
Speaker 3: go back to the huddle and give you an opportunity
Speaker 3: to talk. And basketball they get it out of there.
Speaker 3: You can't, Hey, you can't splaining too long when that
Speaker 3: play was hell, they pushing the ball back up the court, right,
Speaker 3: So I just I just need I just need j Row.
Speaker 1: Hey, Jay Row, you know you're welcome to come on
Speaker 1: any time you like.
Speaker 2: Bro.
Speaker 3: I was in Denner when Jay Row got there, kicked
Speaker 3: it a few times. He a great guy. He's very
Speaker 3: knowledgeable about the game of basketball. I think he wants
Speaker 3: he wants more exit than those and less entertainment in
Speaker 3: the analysis. If I were to douce, but Jay Row,
Speaker 3: you know you're welko to come on any time.
Speaker 2: Hit me up. You got my number.
Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, I'm gonna hit you up

Speaker 2: To what you said, because I think it's kind of
Speaker 2: unfair for uh and I had.
Speaker 3: I mean, I wanted to comment on it, but I
Speaker 3: think it's unfair without you from out. Sometimes things get
Speaker 3: lost in translation, it gets lost in a tweet.
Speaker 2: You know everything.
Speaker 3: Sometimes you put something in em or you put something
Speaker 3: in a letter. And I want to hear his what
Speaker 3: his thought process is, what he means when he says
Speaker 3: the NBA coverage this week, when he says is led
Speaker 3: by men and women, I mean, yeah, it's a different
Speaker 3: era now women are more involved. As far as covering
Speaker 3: the game being allowed in the locker room. That happened
Speaker 3: in nineteen eighty that happened in nineteen eighty four. There's
Speaker 3: an incident happened. I think it was in the New
Speaker 3: England Patriots and the situation and all hell broke.
Speaker 2: Luke.
Speaker 3: Y'all can go look up the situation, look up what happened.
Speaker 3: But it's a different era now, Jay Row. The women
Speaker 3: are gonna have you know, and I get it.
Speaker 2: I get it.
Speaker 3: Women didn't play NBA basketball, women didn't play NBA football,
Speaker 3: But they're gonna have an opinion.
Speaker 2: And whether you.
Speaker 3: Agree with or disagree with, or you like or dislike it,
Speaker 3: it's here to stay and ain't too much we can
Speaker 3: do about it. But I'm gonna reach out to you
Speaker 3: and give you an opportunity to hopefully we can get
Speaker 3: we can get you. On a Wednesday Night, Chris Bosh
Speaker 3: spokes on the claim that Lebron is ring chasing by
Speaker 3: siding with the Sixers. Everybody chase. If you don't think
Speaker 3: Covien Joryan would ring chasing too, you're crazy, absolutely right.
Speaker 3: Everybody everybody's trying to win. Everybody's trying to win it.
Speaker 2: Damn ring.
Speaker 1: You ain't going into no situation saying that. Oh man,
Speaker 1: I just want to get through the season. I hope
Speaker 1: we have a pretty good season. You have championship aspirations.
Speaker 1: When Lebron James joins your team, that is the ultimate goal.
Speaker 2: Bro. It don't matter what it is.
Speaker 1: And Bron knows that. That's why. Oo. When I really
Speaker 1: think about it and I see what, I kind of
Speaker 1: can see why. You know he picked Philly to join
Speaker 1: because he knows understand the weapons that he's gonna have
Speaker 1: it as leisure and he'll be able to control them.
Speaker 5: So and.
Speaker 2: He knows.
Speaker 3: Father time waits for no man. Yes, sir, he's about
Speaker 3: to be forty two, yep, and he can say his
Speaker 3: mind's still sharp. He can't do all the things. He
Speaker 3: can't play forty minutes like he wants could at the
Speaker 3: level that he wants could. He has to pick and
Speaker 3: choose the spots. And so now he has someone when
Speaker 3: he's coasting Joe ellenb Jaylen Brown tyreeves MAXI can do
Speaker 3: a lot of the heavy lifting and when needed, I
Speaker 3: can come in a chip in. I'll make sure you
Speaker 3: guys in the right place. Just trust me. I'll let
Speaker 3: me let me a I believe you, I believe in
Speaker 3: order for you to maximize Why you signed him.
Speaker 1: Is that you gotta let him have the ball in
Speaker 1: his hands. Yeah, gotta let him play, mate, you got to.
Speaker 1: I think I think Philly is definitely gonna do that, Ocho.
Speaker 1: It's just not gonna be like a heavy, heavy dosage
Speaker 1: of it. Okay, cool, Maybe when we get to the
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, it's under five minutes, we got a nip
Speaker 1: and tough game. We're gonna trust big fella. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. We're gonna trust him because I know,
Speaker 1: I know. See the thing is about giving him the
Speaker 1: ball down the stretch, Ocho or in those tough situations.
Speaker 1: It's not for him necessarily to score because you just
Speaker 1: know he gonna make the right damn play.
Speaker 2: You know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Yes, Yeah, he gonna he gonna find your well he may,
Speaker 1: he gonna find JB in the corner for three.
Speaker 2: You feel what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's gonna be Yeah, he gonna find Max, he
Speaker 1: gonna he gonna keep he gonna make the defense stay honest.
Speaker 1: And then when you don't double or collapse the defense,
Speaker 1: then that's when he's that that's when he's gonna be
Speaker 1: able to create his own and get his own So
Speaker 1: I think, you know, I don't think it's no overaction
Speaker 1: to this, to this Philly thing. Man, we talk about
Speaker 1: ring chasing. I ain't standing up there in ring chasing.
Speaker 1: Hey man, I ain't going nowhere. I don't feel like
Speaker 1: I can't win.
Speaker 4: Now, listen and you think about the conversations that that
Speaker 4: have had now to Uncle Joe based on where we
Speaker 4: are now. Every everything is based off rings, Everything is
Speaker 4: based off.
Speaker 6: You know, you want to.
Speaker 4: The ring culture now has it at a at a
Speaker 4: point where now the athletes think, well, this is this
Speaker 4: is this is the end goal you want, that's what
Speaker 4: you want, you know, but you don't want to have
Speaker 4: to go to situations that makes it easy for you
Speaker 4: to do so. So one you win a ring, then
Speaker 4: they chat sites are going to teams that give you
Speaker 4: best chance to do something.
Speaker 2: And if you don't what.
Speaker 3: A lot of look people, I'd rather see a guy
Speaker 3: ring chase as opposed to say and I'm going to
Speaker 3: tell you take this money, because more times than not,
Speaker 3: they want Jason Kidd. I heard Jason Kid was on
Speaker 3: somebody podcast. He said, oh, no, you know I want
Speaker 3: He said, no, they want minutes and they want money.
Speaker 3: They want the two ems and football. This a we
Speaker 3: always say. When you play the game of football, you
Speaker 3: want to leave with as many memories and as much
Speaker 3: money as you possibly can go in the choice give
Speaker 3: me the money. Yeah, there's gonna be a time I
Speaker 3: forget all this issue.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: With that being said, somebody the chat said, see that
Speaker 3: goes Lebron's teammates taking up for it.
Speaker 2: What is Scott?
Speaker 3: What is Dennis Robins said about Jordan the best player ever?
Speaker 3: What is bj Armstrong saying? What is Steve Kerr saying?
Speaker 3: What is Kobe team May said about him? You think
Speaker 3: hold on? You think a teammate not supposed to stick
Speaker 3: up for his teammate. That's gonna happen. That's natural, bro.
Speaker 3: People talk about what you give him a choice? Would
Speaker 3: you rather have throw you the ball? John l Way?
Speaker 1: Because everybody that you might name other quarterbacks, they ain't
Speaker 1: help sharing the shark.
Speaker 3: Do ish what wide receivers you want? I want Ed
Speaker 3: Ed McCaffrey and Rod Smith, and I want TV behind me.
Speaker 3: Why would why would I pick somebody that didn't help
Speaker 3: me do anything. I got Super Bowl rings and I
Speaker 3: got a gold jacket because of those teammates and d
Speaker 3: A give me Ray, give me Rod, give me a
Speaker 3: c Matt. Yeah, yeah, that's what I want. I want
Speaker 3: them guys, yep, I should do.
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't get, but I should.
Speaker 3: Hate to be some of youall friends, because boy, hey,
Speaker 3: somebody got a little bit more prestige, a little bit
Speaker 3: more money. Y'all gonna forget all about me or Joe
Speaker 3: and Joe y'all already told m that's what y'all gonna do.

Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: But the ring culture y'all sported because what y'all have done.
Speaker 3: There are guys that have rings that artists great.
Speaker 1: And the prime example I like to use is Charles Barkley,
Speaker 1: y'all big, I see, like Charles Barkley was a bum
Speaker 1: because he ain't got no ring, and there are guys.
Speaker 3: That got two three rings. A third of the players
Speaker 3: agree there's a difference between being a great player and
Speaker 3: being a great player in a role. They're two different things.
Speaker 2: Guys.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Charles Barkley was a great player. Y'all gonna go
