1
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 1: Please don't tell me you guys wore the tribal masks

2
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 1: and drank beer in them and partied and debauched yourselves

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 1: and debased yourselves and had sex in them while you're

4
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:12,800
Speaker 1: wearing the masks.

00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 2: We got the league coming down on the Grizzlies and Knicks.

35
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 2: We'll get to that news. And Kyle Lowry's getting pushed

36
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 2: in the stands again.

37
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 3: Got that.

38
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 2: We got the pun gun tweeted the night so much more.

39
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 2: But we start here on this Friday, January thirty first,

40
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 2: with our official twenty twenty All Star reserves. They were

41
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 2: announced last night on TNT.

42
00:01:58,120 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 3: Here we go.

43
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 2: Eastern Conference All Star Wars deserves are Jimmy Butler, Ben Simmons,

44
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 2: Kyle Lowry, Chris Middleton, Demontes Sobonis, Jason Tatum, and bam Adebayo.

45
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 2: Western Conference All Star reserves Nikola Jokic, Damian Lillard, Donovan Mitchell,

46
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 2: Rudy Go bears In, Chris Paul Brandon, Ingram, and Russell Westbrook.

47
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 2: So as soon as these get announced, what does everybody

48
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 2: do start screaming about the snubs? And I think you

49
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 2: can make a case. Obviously, because we did our picts

50
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 2: earlier in the week. Nobody, as far as I can recall, went,

51
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 2: you know, perfect here going fourteen for fourteen. We had

52
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 2: some differing opinions on the last couple of spots. So

53
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 2: let's do the game biggest snub in the Eastern Conference.

54
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 2: We'll do each conference here, Okay, biggest snub in the East.

55
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 2: Who are you upset didn't make it? Or has the

56
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 2: best case that should be in there?

57
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 3: Well, you know always when you say snub, but mains

58
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,639
Speaker 3: who you're taking, yeah, and who isn't deserving out of

59
00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:58,239
Speaker 3: those guys.

60
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 2: That's a great point because you see these articles that

61
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,919
Speaker 2: are like the biggest snubs from the twenty twenty All

62
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 2: Star reserves, and it lists like eight guys. It's like seven, eight, nine, guys,

63
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 2: And all that really is saying is like they were

64
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,959
Speaker 2: in the mix. They were all Star possibility conversation. So

65
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 2: you're right, there's never like you can't name seven guys.

66
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 2: And then okay, so now you're taking off seven guys

67
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,799
Speaker 2: like I hear what you're saying. Yet one snub per conference, right,

68
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 2: I mean really truthfully, yeah, yeah, one two Max? But

69
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 2: who is it in the East?

70
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 3: Well, okay, so I'm just going personally, I'm saying I'm

71
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 3: surprised that Tatum made it over Jaylen Brown. I had

72
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 3: Jalen Brown on my team, and look, the numbers are

73
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 3: very close. Their roles, you know, kind of similar as well.

74
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 3: I just felt that Brown has been a better player

75
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 3: this year. That's so that's my reasoning for that pick.

76
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 3: But I don't have any problem with Jason Tatum being

77
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 3: in there. I think he's been great as well. I

78
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 3: think he's been a fantastic player. So, you know, I

79
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 3: didn't really think the Celtics were going to get three

80
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 3: players either because they got Kembus starting yep, and they

81
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 3: got Jason Tatum in there. Now they I don't believe

82
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 3: they deserve three.

83
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 2: It was a long shot for Teatum and Brown exactly. Yeah,

84
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 2: you know, so I thought they might cannibalize each other

85
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 2: a little bit.

86
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 3: And I think they did from the country, I think

87
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 3: they did to some to some degree, I think, you know,

88
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 3: I don't know if we actually get to see the

89
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 3: split in the vote from the coach. I don't think

90
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 3: we do.

91
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 2: No, I don't think I'll give you a lesson here.

92
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 2: Look at look at my loan who he voted for it,

93
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 2: and I think.

94
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 3: They do that. Yeah, but I think I think Brown

95
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 3: would have got a lot of consideration too from coaches,

96
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 3: but I think Tatum got more. So that's for me,

97
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 3: that's personally. But again I didn't I wasn't outraged by

98
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 3: anybody in there. I'm glad to see I am, I'm

99
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 3: glad to see Sabonis, and I'm glad to see at

100
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 3: a Bio in there. I didn't really think Bonis was

101
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 3: going to miss but I thought at a Bio might

102
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 3: have missed out, but instead he gets in. So you know, again, who.

103
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 2: You're not going to lose sleep over.

104
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 3: I didn't lose any sleep.

105
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 2: I've been up all mates, So I guess you don't

106
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 2: take this as seriously as I'm kidding obviously, So who

107
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 2: you got who? Okay, look, I think it's in the East.

108
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 2: I think it's Bradley Beal. Now that's your rate up.

109
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:58,919
Speaker 2: Part of it probably because I had Bradley Bill on

110
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 2: my team when we did this on Tuesday's podcast.

111
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 3: You had Brown, well, I had Bill. That was what

112
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 3: you did is.

113
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, so that's fair point a lot of us

114
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 2: actually had Beal. And yeah, before I start ranting some

115
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 2: of this tongue in cheek, don't get me wrong, because

116
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,720
Speaker 2: I don't who really cares? I mean, does some again

117
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 2: to something that I guess I sort of do, like

118
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 2: I do feel like Simmer guys are very, very deserving,

119
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 2: and I'm a little surprised. I'm actually shocked that Bradley

120
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 2: Beal wasn't selected. I guess what I'm getting at. Because

121
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 2: here's why. Let me just ask you this. Besides past

122
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 2: playoff success, which one should argue, I think could argue

123
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,840
Speaker 2: has should have nothing to do with actually picking your

124
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 2: all star reserves, but maybe it does and probably does

125
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 2: in the back of some coaches. Mind, someone tell me

126
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 2: the huge difference between twenty nineteen twenty Bradley Beal and

127
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 2: twenty nineteen twenty Damian Lillard. What's the what is the

128
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 2: massive difference? Because yeah, okay, outside of course them being

129
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 2: in different conferences, I just don't know what it is.

130
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 2: I can't be convinced otherwise because again, besides any sort

131
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 2: of pass playoff success which Lillard has and about six wins,

132
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,719
Speaker 2: six wins, these guys are both walking buckets. And with

133
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 2: Lillard in the West, it was like he's a lock,

134
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 2: no brainer, even though his team is bad, He's a lock. Okay.

135
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 2: I just don't get where that is sort of that

136
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 2: support for Beal in the East, because you look at

137
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 2: their per thirty six minutes, they're extremely similar. In fact,

138
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 2: Beal actually scores at a higher clip per thirty six,

139
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 2: like just but they're, like I said, they're walking buckets.

140
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,479
Speaker 2: Lillard hitting the three better, no doubt. That's where Bal

141
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 2: has struggled. So you go, okay, it's their teams. But

142
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 2: the Blazers are a disappointing twenty one and twenty seven.

143
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 2: You can't tell me they're not Wizards. What now fifteen

144
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 2: and sixteen, yeah, sixteen thirty one, Now Bill and Bill

145
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 2: has played you know, some less games there, so maybe

146
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 2: they have a little bit better of a record. If

147
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 2: he's plays in some of those whatever, it's very very similar.

148
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 2: As my point, Blazers have had injuries, so has Beal's Wizards.

149
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 2: I mean, they're missing maybe the best player all season.

150
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 2: So it's just to me, it's so so similar. But

151
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,839
Speaker 2: then you go, Bill doesn't play any defense. Oh come on,

152
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 2: Lillard is not locking down guys on the defensive end either.

153
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 2: He's his job is to go get you thirty, get

154
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:12,559
Speaker 2: you seven assists, and get his team in a position

155
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 2: to win games. And that's what Bille is doing too.

156
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,679
Speaker 2: The Wizard's the worst team in the league defense League.

157
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 2: The Blazers are twenty seventh. They're not good. So what's

158
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 2: the difference.

159
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 3: I was on Belle Allstar Island by myself for so

160
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 3: many years, and now it feels like you've just come

161
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 3: over and you're like, he love it.

162
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 2: To me, he should be there, And I think he

163
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 2: should be over there over a guy like Tatum. That's

164
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 2: who I pick, But I could even you can make

165
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 2: a case for even a couple other guys. I'm just

166
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 2: a little shocked he didn't make it.

167
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, I saw people saying Kyle Lowry shouldn't be an

168
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 4: All Star last night. Ben Simmons, and the most extreme

169
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 4: take of all from man I didn't expect it, Tom

170
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 4: Haberstrow saying Zach Levine should be in the All Star

171
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 4: Game over Chris Middleton.

172
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 2: Excuse me, Wow, it's even a little bold for me.

173
00:07:56,400 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 4: Tell me, but I think that difference for me, the

174
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 4: difference between Beal and Lillard and even Zach Levine is

175
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 4: those ten games he missed, the Wizards would have a

176
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 4: better record than the Bulls.

177
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 2: If Bradley Beal.

178
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 4: Didn't miss ten games and the and he could, the

179
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 4: Wizards could be very close in record to the Blazers

180
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 4: if Bradley Beal hadn't missed ten games. So, uh, you know,

181
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 4: I think that that is that's got to be a factor.

182
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 4: Coaches coaches are the people voting on this, and of

183
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 4: the four groups who are voting the fans, the players,

184
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 4: the media, and the coaches, coaches care about winning every

185
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 4: single night more than anybody.

186
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:32,559
Speaker 2: Yeah right.

187
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:34,839
Speaker 4: Their job depends on exactly a coach wants to win

188
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 4: every single night. That being said, Bradley Beal, I think

189
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 4: the stat was that he has the highest points per

190
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 4: game in forty years. To not make the All Star Game,

191
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 4: that's pretty intense.

192
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 3: It is.

193
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 2: It is because you're right out after the idea of

194
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 2: wins matter, team success matter, with the coaches picking. Usually

195
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 2: then the next thing is or right there is like

196
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 2: who is just impossible to stop? And who scores a ton?

197
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 2: Because the coaches are game planning on how to slow

198
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 2: a guy Lillard or Beale or any of these guys

199
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 2: that are flirting with the thirty points. I know we'll

200
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 2: get to book or same thing. It's like, those are

201
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 2: the guys you're game planning for. It's like, how do

202
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 2: we slow this guy down maybe help our chances to win? So, yeah,

203
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 2: it's it's I think it's a bit of a bummer

204
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 2: that he's not in there, especially having already made the

205
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 2: All Star team. Is the other part of this.

206
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 3: That's a little a little strange.

207
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yannis thinks it's not Bale. It's he doesn't think

208
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 2: it's Brown. He returned to Twitter. I guess because Giannis

209
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,199
Speaker 2: was gone, right he closed down his social media mm hmmm,

210
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 2: I don't know why, what the reason was. I'm not

211
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 2: sure we ever got the reason. It seemed tied a

212
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 2: little bit maybe to Kobe's past thing. Yeah, yeah, but

213
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:42,319
Speaker 2: he came back last Night to tweet, how on earth

214
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 2: are we about to have almost fifty wins before the

215
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 2: All Star and we don't have three All Stars in

216
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 2: the game. Eric Bledsoe is an All Star. This was

217
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 2: Giannis saying this too. Saint Chris Middleton got in, that's great,

218
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:56,079
Speaker 2: we should also have Bledsoe.

219
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 4: John Hollinger has been saying for a couple of weeks

220
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 4: that Eric Bledsoe in the friend zone. Coaches, players, fans, media,

221
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 4: they just don't look at him as an All Star,

222
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 4: you know. So he's in the friend zone, and for me,

223
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 4: he's staying in the front. I don't think he's an

224
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 4: All Star this year. But I can see the argument of, hey,

225
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 4: if we have the best team, we need to have

226
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 4: three guys. That's not a real argument to me, but

227
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 4: that's an argument that people make. Yeah, it's as real

228
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 4: of an argument as Zach Levine would be the most

229
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 4: exciting player of any All Star reserve if he were

230
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:26,719
Speaker 4: an All Star reserve, and that's why he should be

231
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 4: there for me.

232
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 2: But I mean, that's not a real argument either.

233
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 4: It's like you can like make up a different take

234
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 4: for every single guy only wants.

235
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 2: As I just proved, like comparing Beal to Lillard. It's like, Okay,

236
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 2: what's the difference. We think he's a luck? Why don't

237
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 2: we think this guy's in there exactly, You're no doubt,

238
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 2: I like you honest, coming back to social media with that,

239
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 2: with that Zinger though, with that, yeah, well yeah, build

240
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 2: them up. You gotta love that, all right. Well, who's

241
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 2: the biggest stub in the West?

242
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 3: Then? Well, this one I think is fairly easy. I

243
00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 3: think it's it's a different Bookay, Yeah, from a up pixiel.

244
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 3: I didn't have him in mind to try to create

245
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 3: a little debate there, but I actually didn't really think

246
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:06,559
Speaker 3: he was going to miss out. I thought he was

247
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 3: going to make it. I thought he would make it

248
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 3: over Westbrook. But Westbrook played his best basketball of the

249
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 3: year at the right time. He sure, absolutely no question

250
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 3: He's in for that reason in my mind. But I

251
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,079
Speaker 3: think if you look at Brandon Ingram being in and

252
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 3: Devin Booker being out, I think it helps to be

253
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 3: a better player on a different losing team. And by

254
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 3: that what I mean is what we see from Devin

255
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 3: Booker is putting up great numbers on the same losing team.

256
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 3: Brandon Ingram is putting up better numbers than we've seen,

257
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 3: but he's lost. He still hasn't won as many games

258
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 3: as Devin Booker, but he's doing it for a different team,

259
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,719
Speaker 3: so it stands out a little bit more. That's kind

260
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 3: of an argument that I'm trying tojustify here, because otherwise

261
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 3: Ingram should be out and Booker should be in.

262
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 2: Well, isn't it just a simple position problem here? Isn't that?

263
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 3: But I mean, well, I don't know.

264
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 2: I can't decide. I can't figure out do they have

265
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 2: to follow the two three two two guards, three forwards

266
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 2: two wildcat? I feel like we see that said that

267
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 2: they have to do that.

268
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 4: The coaches do Ernie was adamant about it on inside,

269
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,079
Speaker 4: but Zach Low is like, they don't care.

270
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, so what is it?

271
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 2: Which one is it?

272
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 3: Because I think it's more like if he can stick

273
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 3: to it, but you don't have to. That's what I

274
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 3: would say, Okay, right right, because to.

275
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 2: Me it feels like it. That is to me, the

276
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 2: only way I can wrap my head around Ingram being

277
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,679
Speaker 2: selected over Booker. It's because they needed a third forward,

278
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 2: because you got Yokichen go Bear. Okay, Ingram's a forward,

279
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:28,680
Speaker 2: He's on a forward on the ballot, and then we

280
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 2: have all these other guards with Booker having the battle,

281
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 2: Lillard and Mitchell and Westbrook and Chris Paul. Yeah, but

282
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 2: I'm yeah, I'm so. I'm just frustrated with that because

283
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 2: exactly Zachlow says, it doesn't matter, so which one is it?

284
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 2: It does to us, and it's tough to the coaches.

285
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 3: Scraping les have all positioning, and thence conference is absolutely

286
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 3: just get the best twenty four players, all the most deserving.

287
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, this like Beale, that's your guy, Booker's my guy.

288
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 2: It sucks. I mean, I can't believe he's not in

289
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,359
Speaker 2: here because for him, it's got to be super frustrating

290
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 2: because over the last couple of years and he's been

291
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 2: a borderline All Star player and has never made it.

292
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 2: Of Course, you hear like the counters are, well, your

293
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 2: team's garbage wins some games, Well they have. I know

294
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 2: they're not five hundred, but they've won games. They have

295
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 2: twenty wins. At the All Star break, they're in a

296
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,680
Speaker 2: playoff race. The Blazers have one more win, the Pelicans

297
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 2: have one less win. Okay, then they say well no, no, no,

298
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 2: A couple years ago, you're too young man, don't worry

299
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 2: about it. You're too young. Wait your time, young fella.

300
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 2: But then you see Ingram who's younger than Booker, Okay,

301
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 2: he's in there over him. And then they're like, oh,

302
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 2: you're not efficient enough. You know, you're just a high

303
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 2: volume scorer. You still got empty stats because you're on

304
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 2: a bad team. Well, he's scoring twenty seven points per

305
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 2: game on fifty one percent shooting from the floor, thirty

306
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 2: seven percent from three. He's money at the line, his

307
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:45,439
Speaker 2: true shooting percentage just through the roof, and he's doing stuff.

308
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 2: I mean, you guys saw the tweet going around the

309
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,199
Speaker 2: only players in NBA history to average twenty seven points

310
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 2: per game and six assists per game on fifty percent

311
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 2: shooting in a season or Lebron, Michael Jordan, Larry Bird,

312
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 2: Steph Curry and Oscar Robertson. Booker is doing that right now.

313
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 2: Mind boggling. And not on the bottom of the barrel

314
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 2: team you can't. He's in the mix.

315
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 3: It does feel a little groundhog dage though for me

316
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,559
Speaker 3: with the Suns. You know, it's like, we know he's

317
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:10,959
Speaker 3: been a good player for a couple of years, we're

318
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 3: still waiting for him to take that leap again. This again,

319
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 3: back to my point earlier.

320
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 2: But he has taken well, but he hasn't.

321
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 3: Okay, he has. But I'm saying Ingram stands out more,

322
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 3: I think because he's on New Orleans and it's like

323
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 3: he's clearly you know, developed his game. That's just the

324
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 3: argument I'm making him. You know, I'm not saying he's

325
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 3: more deserving. I'm just saying a new team, new new uniform. Oh,

326
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 3: this guy is different all of a sudden, He's an

327
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 3: All Star now when he's really just putting up the numbers.

328
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 2: He's the new cool kid that the new Q girl just.

329
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 3: Came where started off the season you know pretty well.

330
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 3: And Booker I remember early on was actually talking a

331
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 3: bit of trash and getting into it with a little

332
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 3: bit of players. Looks like he'd shown some growth in

333
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 3: his game. But again it's sort of is like they've

334
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 3: just regressed back to the mean of like, yeah, we

335
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 3: know he's good. Team's not very good. Sorry, you're not

336
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 3: ready yet.

337
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 4: That's it's all about taming. Yeah, Pelicans started slow, turned

338
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 4: it on, you got it. You got a peek at

339
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 4: the right time. It's like Russell Westbrook, I feel like

340
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 4: the coaches pulled a mind trick on themselves. They're like,

341
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 4: Harden is killing us. We would be happier playing four

342
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 4: on three with Russell Westbrook handling the ball. So for

343
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 4: the past month it's been four on three Russell Westbrook

344
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 4: handling the ball. And now coaches are like, man, this

345
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 4: guy's killing us.

346
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 2: What are you thinking?

347
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 4: You gave him the advantage. So now they're like kind

348
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 4: of patting themselves on the back, like we made this

349
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 4: guy an All Star.

350
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 2: That's very strange to me. But I don't know. So

351
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 2: if you so, So, if you you believe Booker, I

352
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 2: wonder I had on Ingram, I had on Westbrook would

353
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 2: be the guy. Oh yeah, I was just I was

354
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 2: just gonna ask you that. So, yeah, if you're if

355
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 2: you're taking it out, you're taking on another card, and

356
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 2: I think that's fair, so would I. I mean, he

357
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 2: just Westbrook just timed it perfectly. Yep, he went on

358
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 2: his tair right at the right time. He's fresh in

359
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 2: everybody's mind. All Booker's sort of just been doing it

360
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 2: and had the you know sort of. I mean, Westbrook

361
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 2: miss games. He misses games too. He does the whole

362
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 2: like he basically is doing load management for whatever reason,

363
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 2: pretend he's not. I don't know, you know, it's so strange,

364
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 2: it's frustrating. I saw s BO. I think this is

365
00:15:57,640 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 2: a good point. They shouldn't really go into the coaches

366
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 2: picking him or you know, leaning towards picking him for

367
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 2: this reason. But he asked at spo a Son's you know,

368
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 2: writer blogger. I'd imagine hillstar snub is especially hard for

369
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 2: Booker this year with the game going to be focusing

370
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 2: on honoring the memory of his idol, Kobe Bryant. That's

371
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 2: just another like punch to the gut there for him.

372
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 2: And we saw James Jones, the Sun's GM you don't

373
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 2: see this often coming out with the statement right away.

374
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 2: I've played with and against multiple All Stars in this league,

375
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 2: and Devin Booker is undoubtedly an NBA All Star. You

376
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 2: don't see that very often. I mean, you see the players.

377
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 4: You don't like it, No, all right, I mean I'd

378
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 4: like to hear from Devin Booker. I liked hearing from Bradley,

379
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 4: hearing from uh Bradley Beal's fiance and his agent.

380
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 2: I want to hear from you. I want to see uh.

381
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 4: Well, I would say both those guys. Did both those

382
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 4: guys Booker didn't play last night. That's a that's the difference.

383
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 2: No. Prior to the game, he said I'm an All Star.

384
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 2: He's been saying that for years.

385
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, of course every player is going to say so.

386
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 4: But I want to hear your reaction afterwards.

387
00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 2: I want to go.

388
00:16:58,120 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 4: I want to see you be like Bradley Bale and

389
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 4: go a huge night afterwards. I don't need to hear

390
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:05,440
Speaker 4: from your GM who I mean, he's just doing his job,

391
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 4: He's supporting his guy. Of course, there's a reason we

392
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 4: haven't seen that very much.

393
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 2: So let's hear from you guys. Who you got is

394
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 2: your biggest snub. But you got to take somebody off

395
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 2: to moving on because we could go on that all night,

396
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 2: all day.

397
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:17,120
Speaker 3: Here.

398
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 2: Which first time All Star are you most excited for?

399
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 2: Because there's a ton if you count the starters, I

400
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,879
Speaker 2: think there's nine first time All Stars, nine because there

401
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 2: were six reserves and then Trey Luca and Pascal Siakam

402
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 2: as the starters. So which of all that bunch are

403
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 2: you most excited for? Bunch?

404
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:34,399
Speaker 3: To choose from a course that are all great, I

405
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 3: guess Donovan Mitchell, I think in a game like this,

406
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,199
Speaker 3: he could really I mean, his dunks tend to be

407
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 3: the same, but he gets the legs flying and he

408
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:42,879
Speaker 3: throws him out of nowhere. He can crush it on

409
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 3: guys in the paint. He can hit a couple of

410
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:46,680
Speaker 3: threes as well. So this is a sort of game

411
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 3: where I think he could really flourish, you know, because

412
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 3: he's he can do it all, he can pass, he

413
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,399
Speaker 3: can do everything, so and it tends to favor guys

414
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 3: who are a bit more flashy rather than someone like

415
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,439
Speaker 3: a Rudy Gobert who might get eight blocks, but no

416
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:00,360
Speaker 3: one cares about that in a game.

417
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 2: So you must be kidding me.

418
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 4: Rudy Gobert is my favorite first time All Star. I

419
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 4: want him to come out and pull a joke Keem

420
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,440
Speaker 4: no I remember Noah was like guarding way too hard

421
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:08,879
Speaker 4: for the All Star. But he's like, hey, that's what

422
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 4: I'm here for. There's gonna be a lot of dunk attempts.

423
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:13,680
Speaker 4: Rudy Gobert should try and block every single dunk attempt.

424
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 4: That would be hilarious. That would make people excited for

425
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 4: Rudy Gobert to actually be there.

426
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,640
Speaker 2: That's a good point. Yeah, you get you pick something.

427
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 2: It's easy. Not on me, buddy. Yeah, that's why I'm here.

428
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 3: I like that.

429
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 2: No, yeah, you got to be happy for both the

430
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 2: jazz players, you know, making their first all social elections

431
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 2: pretty cool, or doing it together.

432
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 3: It'd be good if they're on different teams, so maybe

433
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 3: we can see. Wow, don't try to cross him up,

434
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 3: you know. Oh yeah, that's what.

435
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:36,880
Speaker 2: Don't Bear said.

436
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:38,639
Speaker 4: Was I hope I get to go against him and

437
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 4: try and stop him. I love playing with them, but

438
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 4: I want to block them.

439
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 2: Meet him at the rim. Yeah, those are my picks

440
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 2: as well. I'm pretty happy for both those guys. Especially. Look,

441
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,719
Speaker 2: you know, we joke we're not losing sleep over it,

442
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 2: but these guys take this seriously. I mean, if you

443
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 2: if you believe you're on that level, you want to

444
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,159
Speaker 2: be there, especially if you've never made it, especially if

445
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 2: you've got a bonus in your contract. Oh yeah, let

446
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 2: alone that with money on the line. I mean, but

447
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 2: he was go Bear last year. Was he was upset.

448
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:09,120
Speaker 2: He was obviously showing some emotion that he wasn't picked.

449
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:11,399
Speaker 2: You thought he was deserving, and so they finally got

450
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 2: him there. One more question from this and we'll get

451
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:17,159
Speaker 2: to the All Star format, Giannis is gonna have the

452
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 2: first pick when it comes to the reserves because Lebron's

453
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 2: got the first pick overall with the starters, but they

454
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 2: have to pick from the starters first. They got to

455
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 2: pick from those eight guys, So Jannis will have the

456
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 2: first pick when it comes to the reserve. Who do

457
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 2: you think he should take? Okay, two questions, Who do

458
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 2: you think you will take? And then who do you

459
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 2: think if if you know you didn't have to worry

460
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 2: about any sort of teammate loyalty, your stuff like that,

461
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 2: who would you pick if you were in his shoes

462
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:41,160
Speaker 2: to try and win the game.

463
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 4: He's gonna take it boring. He's gonna pick Chris Middleton, Right,

464
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,199
Speaker 4: why I asked one hundred percent what's gonna happen? But

465
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,880
Speaker 4: this could also be Jannest's time for a heel turn.

466
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:54,640
Speaker 4: What if instead of taking Chris Middleton, he takes Jimmy Butler.

467
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:54,880
Speaker 2: With the first pick.

468
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,639
Speaker 4: People like, whoa whoa, whoa, wha wha whoa on Miami Heat.

469
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 4: Next pick around, he takes Bam out of Bayo, his

470
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:04,119
Speaker 4: close friend. Uh, that's to Miami Heat. Let me let

471
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:05,919
Speaker 4: me hop on hoops hype here and check their salary,

472
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 4: pitch what they've got a ton of cap spez the

473
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 4: summer that Yannis is a free agent, just like that.

474
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,359
Speaker 4: Yannis is a villain. What a heel turn?

475
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 2: What a he'll turn if he doesn't. I mean Chris

476
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 2: Milton basically last night on T and two is like, yeah,

477
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 2: he's he's gonna be He's got Yeah, he for sure

478
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 2: is yeah, yeah, because.

479
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 3: He did last year too, right, I'm hoping obviously he's

480
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 3: taking Middleton Field. I'm hoping what he does, though, is

481
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 3: he gets on his team and he gets embiid on

482
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 3: his team.

483
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he can kill that world.

484
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 3: Team exactly your kitch. He can get Ben Simmons, he

485
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 3: can get Bonus Gobert. That's what I'm hoping for that

486
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 3: Yannis builds the international team and sends a message, this

487
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 3: is what we're going to get sooner rather than later.

488
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:46,439
Speaker 3: So it's closed.

489
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 2: I mean, there's I mean, his chances from the starters

490
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 2: alone to start building the world team are there with

491
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 2: Luca in the mix of.

492
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:56,239
Speaker 3: L yeah, of course. Yeah. So yeah, I'm hoping that

493
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 3: that's what we get a little bit of, you know,

494
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,640
Speaker 3: international versus American Rob they'll be the problem is there's

495
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 3: going to be a couple of guys on that international

496
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 3: team Americans. But that's okay, that's okay. We can who

497
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 3: can we who can we make a case for that's

498
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,160
Speaker 3: that would play for the international team and be proud.

499
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:16,920
Speaker 2: Okay. I like that. Kyle Lowry sure success in Canada perfect. Yeah,

500
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:20,679
Speaker 2: he's as like Canada's hero. Yeah sure, okay, okay, So

501
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 2: what does that bring us to? How do we go more?

502
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:33,120
Speaker 3: Six seven, eight nine with Lowry? So we need three more?

503
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 2: That's a lot more. All right, Well we'll think that over.

504
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:37,399
Speaker 2: We'll think that over. But you want to see honest

505
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 2: lean into the world sort of format, try and build.

506
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:41,400
Speaker 3: It by himself exactly. Yeah.

507
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 2: And I like where Trey's going. He wants that that

508
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:47,440
Speaker 2: switch it up, go villain, don't take Milton. I wonder

509
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 2: if we'll get another trade in this year's Oh yeah,

510
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:55,920
Speaker 2: it was about that. Simmons from Westbrook was yeah, and

511
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 2: uh and who went last last yeal?

512
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:00,880
Speaker 3: I think it was I think yes, two. I think

513
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 3: it was too.

514
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 2: All right, let's get to this new NBA All Star format.

515
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,680
Speaker 2: NBA is changing it up, guys. Scores will be reset

516
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:09,880
Speaker 2: to begin the second and third quarters, and a target

517
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:13,400
Speaker 2: score with a Kobe Bryant tribute twist will decide who

518
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 2: wins all with five hundred thousand dollars for charity at stake.

519
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,359
Speaker 2: So let me explain this very very simply for some

520
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:21,119
Speaker 2: of the listeners out there.

521
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 3: It's not hard.

522
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:23,640
Speaker 2: It really is. It looks like way too much info

523
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 2: and it's all like a little confusing at first, but

524
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:28,680
Speaker 2: it's not. It's zero zero to start quarters one, two,

525
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 2: and three, so it is like mini games within those

526
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,399
Speaker 2: three quarters, one hundred thousand dollars on the line each

527
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 2: quarter that's going to charity. So look at it just

528
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 2: as a tiny little game. But you take those scores

529
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 2: and you add them all up to start the fourth quarter.

530
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 2: So let's say it is one hundred to ninety five

531
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 2: team Lebron right now over Teamyannis. After you've added up

532
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 2: those three little mini games the first, second, and third quarters,

533
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 2: you then take the score that's ahead at the time,

534
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:55,879
Speaker 2: the higher score, so the one hundred in our example,

535
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:57,680
Speaker 2: and you just add twenty four to it. That's the

536
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 2: Kobe tribute twist there. The clock off in the fourth quarter,

537
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 2: and it's just the first team to hit that magic

538
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 2: number again, it would be one twenty four in the

539
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 2: example I just gave you that wins the All Star Game.

540
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 2: So it's it really isn't that. You know, Once you

541
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:14,239
Speaker 2: just put it like that, it's not that hard. Now

542
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 2: whether or not you like it is a whole other story,

543
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:18,120
Speaker 2: a whole other question. So let me let me hear

544
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 2: your thoughts. Is this the NBA trying to do a

545
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 2: little too much? Do you do you like the idea

546
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,439
Speaker 2: that they're trying some like have at it? What do

547
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 2: you think?

548
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 3: Why not try something something? Why not? It's the All

549
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 3: Star Game? No one cares who wins the NBA. You know,

550
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 3: people can't say, oh, it's boring, it's boring. They've got

551
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 3: to get them get back to playing games. And then

552
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:37,119
Speaker 3: when the NBA tries something, people go, oh what, I

553
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:39,879
Speaker 3: don't understand. This is crazy. It's like, you may as

554
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 3: well try to make it fun. And I think this

555
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:43,879
Speaker 3: will be more fun because you're going to see you know,

556
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 3: teams battling for that win each quarter. Yeah, and charity

557
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:50,679
Speaker 3: is going to benefit from it. So people are going

558
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 3: to go for it. And then at the end you

559
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 3: actually have like, all right, this is this is what

560
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:57,679
Speaker 3: we're playing to like we played pickup ball. You know,

561
00:23:57,760 --> 00:23:59,880
Speaker 3: you played eight or nine or whatever your rules are,

562
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,119
Speaker 3: and it's like everyone's gonna be wanting to get to

563
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 3: that position where it's like you get that last shot

564
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,119
Speaker 3: to win it. You know, they get a shout Kobe

565
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 3: when they throw up.

566
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 2: That is the cool part. We're gonna have a game

567
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,159
Speaker 2: winning or a game ending shot. Yeah, it could come

568
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 2: at the free throw line. That'd be a little anti

569
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 2: time acting. But yeah, we will have a game winner,

570
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:17,440
Speaker 2: I guess.

571
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,160
Speaker 4: And I mean theoretically we could have three mini game

572
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:23,159
Speaker 4: winners as well, right because yeah, supposedly these guys are

573
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,399
Speaker 4: gonna be trying to win the first, second and third quarters.

574
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 2: Yeah that's I mean, that's look, that is the issue.

575
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 2: It's like I do I get a kick out of

576
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 2: this because people that do hate the All Star.

577
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 3: Game, I have not one of them.

578
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,200
Speaker 2: I mean, I love the All Star weekend. So I'm

579
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,879
Speaker 2: you know, I'm such a mark for this, but I

580
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 2: love the idea of like the I mean' is like,

581
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 2: oh you hate the All Star Game, Well here's what

582
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 2: we're gonna do. We're gonna make four All Star Games

583
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 2: and one and see what happens, and I mean, maybe

584
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 2: it will stink, but I'm with you. Why wouldn't you

585
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 2: try something new? Who cares the basketball tournament does this thing?

586
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 2: That's that the thing in the summer and where Chris Paul,

587
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 2: you know, drew some inspiration from this with that type

588
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,479
Speaker 2: of ending, that's like, oh, there is now a final

589
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,919
Speaker 2: target score. Have at it. And it seems to I

590
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 2: don't watch the basketball tournament, but by all accounts, people

591
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,399
Speaker 2: think it's a pretty interesting, fun little twist to it.

592
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 4: Sure, I believe you. To me, it's like All Star weekend.

593
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,120
Speaker 4: By Sunday, people are exhausted. Usually the All Star Game

594
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,400
Speaker 4: is the worst part of the weekend. Maybe this gets

595
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 4: a little bit more eyeballs, just to see, just to

596
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 4: see how it works.

597
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:26,439
Speaker 2: I don't know.

598
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 4: It's the All Star Game. You can change as much

599
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,119
Speaker 4: as you want because it doesn't actually matter.

600
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 2: And will this actually make the players play harder? Probably not.

601
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 4: If you paid them extra, if they were getting the

602
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:37,719
Speaker 4: money after every single quarter, maybe that's the way to

603
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 4: do it. But then it's like all the guys who

604
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 4: didn't get picked for the All Star gaming, like, how

605
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:43,360
Speaker 4: come I don't get a chance at that money? It's

606
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 4: very strange, and it just doesn't feel like we'll ever

607
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 4: really go back to guys caring to win the All

608
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 4: Star Game because they don't necessarily care to win every

609
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 4: regular season game. So how are you gonna get them

610
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,239
Speaker 4: to really care about an exhibition game just to have

611
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 4: fun with it? Get your jokes off. I saw basketball

612
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 4: jokes last night. Calvin ball was very very popular Cones

613
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:07,879
Speaker 4: of Duncanshire or whatever that was called from Parks and Recreation.

614
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,119
Speaker 4: So at the very least, it's good for the content

615
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 4: creators out there.

616
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 2: We'll see if it lasts. Yeah, and this is a

617
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 2: one off thing. They said they're gonna try it and

618
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,959
Speaker 2: if and they're hoping that it maybe does drum up

619
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 2: a little bit more excitement and maybe a little bit

620
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 2: more you know, competitive games within the games. Maybe it does,

621
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 2: maybe it doesn't. I'm actually think it could work, but

622
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,360
Speaker 2: it's gonna come down to the guys playing in the game,

623
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 2: because it also could be the exact opposite. We could

624
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,680
Speaker 2: get to the fourth quarter and you know, Team Lebron

625
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:38,160
Speaker 2: has won all three quarters handily, and now they're up

626
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:41,920
Speaker 2: you know, seventy, Yeah, going into the fourth. Then it's like, well,

627
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,160
Speaker 2: it's this game could be over in a second. That's

628
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 2: the other thing. People are like, well, now, oh, the

629
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:49,439
Speaker 2: fourth quarter's gonna be over in three minutes. Well, but

630
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 2: you don't like the All Star Game? Yeah, why wouldn't

631
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 2: you want it to be over in three minutes? Got

632
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:55,719
Speaker 2: before eight minutes? Love complaining about the All Star Game? Right,

633
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:57,360
Speaker 2: but then they watch it.

634
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,399
Speaker 1: Don't watch it. If you don't like it, you're not

635
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:04,359
Speaker 1: being forced to watch it. Take the week off of basketball.

636
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:07,439
Speaker 1: It just drives me insane. Yeah, if you don't like it,

637
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 1: don't watch it. I don't give a shit about the

638
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:12,160
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl, so I don't watch it. Oh they're playing dodgeball.

639
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 1: I might tune in and check that out. And what

640
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 1: I don't even know do they even play the damn

641
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 1: game anymore?

642
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:16,919
Speaker 3: In Pro Bol?

643
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 2: I don't even know because I don't care. I saw

644
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:22,200
Speaker 2: a couple downs, Okay, no tackles. I just the constant

645
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 2: complaining about it. But then you watch it, So you're

646
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 2: a sucker. Just don't watch it. You want to send

647
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:31,640
Speaker 2: your real messages to tune out and do something else

648
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:32,479
Speaker 2: with your Sunday night.

649
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 3: I don't know.

650
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:35,360
Speaker 2: That drives me insane, but I do like this point

651
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 2: from Kelly Dwyer hadn't crossed my mind. No, seriously, if

652
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 2: this works, this new format next year. This is Kelly

653
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:45,479
Speaker 2: Dwyer with the game in Indianapolis. The fourth quarter reset

654
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 2: could be thirty one points for Reggie Miller. I hadn't

655
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:49,399
Speaker 2: really thought about it because we got the Kobe tribute

656
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 2: the twenty four. And there's another point. I think I

657
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 2: saw Ziller make this. You gotta think the NBA this

658
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 2: didn't like, they didn't just come up with this All

659
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 2: Star format after the Kobe thing. They were like, oh,

660
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 2: this would be a cool little tree be adding the

661
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 2: twenty four. So maybe that number was who knows, thirty one,

662
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 2: forty whatever the target number they came up with in

663
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 2: their mind. I'm assuming it probably was higher because twenty

664
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 2: four doesn't seem like a whole lot an All Star game. Yeah,

665
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:16,639
Speaker 2: you can get there very quick, in like five or

666
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:19,679
Speaker 2: six minutes. But back to Dwyer's point, it's pretty neat like,

667
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 2: and then you know it's in Cleveland the new year.

668
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,400
Speaker 2: After that, maybe you're you're celebrating someone else, it's Mark

669
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 2: Prizer or something like that. It's twenty five points whatever.

670
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 2: That's a neat little idea that I hadn't thought of,

671
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 2: because it's like you can just change it if you want,

672
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 2: and it's like, okay, neat little tribute makes every sort

673
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 2: of All Star game different.

674
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:37,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. Next time it's in Dallas, it'll

675
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 3: be a tribute to Luke at the last game seventy seven.

676
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 2: Sure, I got no problem with that.

677
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, they're trying. Ultimately, that's it the NBA. This

678
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 3: is like a free hit for them because the All

679
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 3: Star Game has lost it's lost it lost it a

680
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 3: long time ago. Why not try something And if you

681
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 3: can get these guys going back to some sort of

682
00:28:55,960 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 3: like you know, outdoor like pickup game type mental, I

683
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 3: think you're more likely to get them engaged. And that

684
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 3: that's to me where I think there's still some progress

685
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 3: to be made where you get to the point where

686
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 3: maybe it's one year, it's like, all right, there's there's

687
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 3: only twenty All Stars. There's four teams of five each,

688
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 3: and it's king of the Court for you know, up

689
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 3: to five wins, and then you and then whoever wins

690
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 3: their first whoever gets to five wins wins the weekend

691
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 3: the All Star Games over something like that. Yeah, I

692
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:24,959
Speaker 3: think because we know what it's like when when you know,

693
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 3: when we play, when we play pick up or we're

694
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 3: trying our best, right, no one's out there. No one's

695
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 3: out there. Look, if you lose a couple in a row,

696
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 3: you become more determined. I'm just gonna set right and

697
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 3: the NBA players on a national stage, if they lose

698
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 3: a couple of games, you know they're going to try

699
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 3: to win. They're not just gonna say, yeah, we want

700
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 3: to be embarrassed here, you know that's my that's my point.

701
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 2: Maybe, Look, they don't want No one wants to get injured.

702
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 2: So it's not like we are going to try and

703
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 2: dunk on each other and you know, throw an elbows

704
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 2: and stuff like that. It's not gonna ever get to

705
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 2: that because no one wants to see that either. But

706
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 2: I am with you the idea of like these mini games, well,

707
00:29:58,120 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 2: what do we want from an old game? We want moments.

708
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 2: So maybe we get like a game winner at the

709
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 2: end of the first quarter or the second quarter in

710
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 2: a tie game, like we have better chances. We're giving

711
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 2: ourselves more opportunities to have those moments, I think, is

712
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 2: my point. Maybe we will get them. Maybe we won't,

713
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 2: but I don't mind giving yourself more bites out the

714
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 2: apple to have those. Yeah, does that make sense? Yeah, yeah,

715
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 2: I agree.

716
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 4: It could be exciting, but you know, even if it

717
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 4: is exciting, people won't remember, because I feel like people

718
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 4: already forget twenty eighteen. The All Star Game ends with

719
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 4: Steph Curry guarded by Lebron and Kevin Durant and be.

720
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 2: Like, oh man, look at this. It came down to

721
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:32,720
Speaker 2: the last possession.

722
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 4: And but we're talking like there hasn't been a close

723
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 4: All Star Game in the past forty years, you know. So, yeah,

724
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 4: it's just something to complain about, because that's how it is.

725
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 4: When something new happens, you gotta get your complaints out. Yeah,

726
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 4: it'll be fine. The NHL changes the formata that All

727
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 4: Star Game like every year, it feels like, and they

728
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 4: still have it, and you know you're still going to

729
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 4: see Steph Curry throwing a monster oop to Yannisanta Toakunpo.

730
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 4: Those are the things that people remember, the cool plays,

731
00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 4: not necessarily who wins unless you're Lee Ellis. In the

732
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 4: very first game you ever saw was an All Star Game,

733
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 4: and it happened to be the most dramatic All Star

734
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 4: Game of all time. If that's if that's how you

735
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 4: learned about basketball. Maybe you want it to be intense,

736
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,479
Speaker 4: but it's not always intense. There's a handful of them,

737
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 4: and that's why it's special when it is.

738
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 2: Wow, that's a crazy what if that you just you

739
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 2: just got to I think sort of by accident. What

740
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 2: if lee ellis that tape that first All Star game

741
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 2: he gets is like one of the boring ones. There

742
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 2: were boring games back in the eighties. Well, they weren't

743
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 2: all like those you know, black men at the line

744
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 2: to win. No.

745
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 3: I mean, I remember eighty eight in Chicago was good

746
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 3: because Jordan finished with like a big run, scored forty

747
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 3: in his hometown. But then eighty nine was in Miami.

748
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 3: I believe that was boring.

749
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 2: Non Eagen, you imagine you got that team. I know,

750
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 2: maybe you're never a basketball fit. Maybe you're never doing this.

751
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 3: You're sitting here, I don't know, you Wow, what would

752
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 3: I be doing?

753
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:49,719
Speaker 4: Probably the same thing, but just about cricket. And then

754
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 4: every once in a while the cricket guys are like,

755
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 4: oh my goodness, he's talking about basketball again.

756
00:31:54,680 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 3: You squeeze so much basketball. Cricket Podcast man.

757
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:03,240
Speaker 2: About Luca Dunget or whatever it's crazy name. We gotta

758
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 2: get to We got lots still to get to. We

759
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 2: gotta get to Lowry and we got the Grizzlies Nicks

760
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 2: getting punished. But first a word from a sponsor.

761
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 3: It all comes down to their Super Bowl fifty four.

762
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 3: Who's going to be hoisting the trophy and spraying champagne

763
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 3: when it's all said and done. For me, it's the

764
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 3: Nine as well, maybe it's the Chiefies. Either way, this

00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 3: Like uncooked carrots and red pepper with them all?

802
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 2: I've never heard someone called them uncooked pirates, but not

803
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 2: baby carrots. Peel yourselfrots, organic.

804
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 3: Uncooked peel carrots.

Speaker 3: on all sorts of junk. Have a little bit of junk,

808

809
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:58,880
Speaker 3: that's all.

810
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:05,360
Speaker 2: Get carrots, just cooked.

811
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 3: Never fear I've brought some. Here you go, who's got

812
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 3: the peeler? Oh?

813
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:12,840
Speaker 2: You just bring the actual bag of carts.

814
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:14,360
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I'll bring enough for everyone.

815
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:16,880
Speaker 5: What do you got against baby carrots.

816
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 3: I just don't like baby carrots for some reason. I

817
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:22,360
Speaker 3: just don't enjoy them. I prefer my carrots to be

818
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:23,280
Speaker 3: more authentic.

819
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:27,399
Speaker 2: I prefer my carrots to be able to drive.

820
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:29,480
Speaker 3: They seem you know, the thing is with baby carrots.

821
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:30,759
Speaker 3: Every time they're in the bag, they come out and

822
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:32,240
Speaker 3: they're all just wet and yuck.

823
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:36,279
Speaker 2: Okay, you're not, you're not wrong, But there's still there

824
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:36,840
Speaker 2: are carrots.

825
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:39,239
Speaker 3: Then I put my carrot. Then I put my carrot

826
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:44,720
Speaker 3: under the tap to wash it anyway.

827
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:40,759
Speaker 5: So.

828
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:45,959
Speaker 2: You gotta they grow on the ground.

829
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:47,719
Speaker 3: I have some carrots at the Super Bowl. That's what

830
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:48,839
Speaker 3: I will.

831
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 2: I am the guy when I when I eat wings,

832
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:53,759
Speaker 2: I love the celery and carrots that come with it.

833
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:58,360
Speaker 2: I'm always eating that. I make sure to make uncooked

834
00:35:58,400 --> 00:35:59,720
Speaker 2: celery and uncooked carrots.

835
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 5: So are you dipping it in that blue chest?

836
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 2: No, I'm a ranch guy actually, but hell yeah, I'm

837
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 2: dipping it in that. No.

838
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:07,800
Speaker 5: Lee doesn't approve.

839
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:11,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean if he can just.

840
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:13,759
Speaker 2: You would have loved living at my house growing up

841
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:17,360
Speaker 2: because we always had I mean obviously in the spring

842
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:19,759
Speaker 2: and summer months and stuff like that, always had on

843
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:22,440
Speaker 2: the on the kitchen counter because we had a garden

844
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:26,359
Speaker 2: in the back, and we grew our own stuff like uncooked,

845
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:30,759
Speaker 2: uncooked veggies, like in just a bowl of water, so radishes,

846
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 2: card celery, you know.

847
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:35,759
Speaker 3: Some of that radish. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

848
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 2: Dad used to wait, wait, cooked or uncooked. Surprised me

849
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 2: a lot of bite in an uncooked radish.

850
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:44,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I like I like that that crunch you ever

851
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 3: put a little salt on it?

852
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 2: That's try not too you know, all right, uncooked carrots,

853
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 2: my goodness. Uh Raptors. Kyle Lowry says he was pushed

854
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:57,359
Speaker 2: by a fan after diving into the stands last night

855
00:36:57,360 --> 00:37:00,200
Speaker 2: in Cleveland. The incident came in the final minutes a

856
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 2: pretty close Wraps CAZ game. Lowry goes to save the ball,

857
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 2: he dives out of bounds lands in the first couple

858
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:08,280
Speaker 2: of rows. It would eventually lead to a very important

859
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:12,279
Speaker 2: Abaca three. But he got pushed. I mean, look, there's

860
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 2: no doubt the guy puts his hands on him and

861
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:19,000
Speaker 2: either is helping him back into play, pushing him off

862
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:21,759
Speaker 2: his lap, some combination of the both. But Lowry was

863
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:24,759
Speaker 2: not happy with it. Play didn't stop or anything like

864
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 2: that to sort of point him out to the officials,

865
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 2: because you know, like I said, Abaca hit a three

866
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 2: and then kas are going the other way and final

867
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:32,799
Speaker 2: a couple of minutes of the game. But Lowry, at

868
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 2: the end of the game, set or after the game,

869
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:35,719
Speaker 2: I should say, I got pushed. And that's the second

870
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 2: time it's happened to me. Remember this happened in the finals.

871
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 2: The next time it happens, I don't know if I'll

872
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 2: be able to control myself. Fans like that shouldn't be

873
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:44,960
Speaker 2: able to lay any hands on you and shouldn't be

874
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 2: a part of our game. My question is, and you know,

875
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:50,959
Speaker 2: I love Kyle Lowry, I love him. Is Lowry making

876
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 2: this out to be a bigger deal than it is

877
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:57,480
Speaker 2: or is he right? Kind of both.

878
00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:01,239
Speaker 4: I think it seemed like a push, But if you're

879
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:03,960
Speaker 4: also not expecting to get pushed at all, why wouldn't

880
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:07,440
Speaker 4: you have the reaction, especially considering he has had it

881
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 4: happened before. You know, maybe if it's the first time,

882
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 4: he's just yeah, he's just saying we can't have that,

883
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 4: which is what he said afterwards. But it was a

884
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:17,880
Speaker 4: little bit more menacing, I suppose, saying I might not

885
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 4: be able to hold back the next time it happens,

886
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:22,279
Speaker 4: but let's just not push players when they fall into

887
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:22,600
Speaker 4: the thing.

888
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:24,919
Speaker 3: Yeah. The other thing is, you know, when a comes

889
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 3: into and you know, he lands on you, it's hard

890
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 3: to not sort of at least help up.

891
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:32,520
Speaker 2: And I one hundred percent agree. Yeah, I think it's

892
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 2: a pretty natural reaction to Yeah, you're either trying to

893
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:38,879
Speaker 2: support the player or yeah, like in a way sort

894
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:40,879
Speaker 2: of get them back out there, I guess, but you're

895
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:43,480
Speaker 2: sort of trying to push them at back.

896
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:45,839
Speaker 3: This is what you're doing. And I think the way

897
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:48,920
Speaker 3: that Larry looked back at the fan, he felt that

898
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 3: the guy maybe gave him a little extra.

899
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:52,840
Speaker 2: Yes, but I sort of because his point Lowry is

900
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 2: I'll get up. I'm getting up. Yeah, you don't need

901
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 2: to help me.

902
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:57,879
Speaker 3: But I don't. I don't think what the fan did

903
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:00,719
Speaker 3: was egregious. But I think I think maybe just at

904
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:03,240
Speaker 3: the end, he maybe just gave him that little extra

905
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:05,919
Speaker 3: that Larry didn't appreciate. But again, it's hot. If someone

906
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:07,919
Speaker 3: folds down, you don't just sort of put your arms away.

907
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, what is the what are you

908
00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:12,400
Speaker 2: supposed to do? He then in this situation, I'm with you, like,

909
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:14,400
Speaker 2: I don't think you should go putting your hands on people.

910
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:16,799
Speaker 2: But also if someone lands in your lap, You're right,

911
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 2: what do you do? Just cross your arms and just

912
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:21,839
Speaker 2: lay there? I don't really know you're gonna You're You're

913
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:25,439
Speaker 2: just human reaction is to sort of sort of help

914
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:27,799
Speaker 2: somebody up or push them back out. Yeah, that's what

915
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:29,480
Speaker 2: you would do if I fell into you right now?

916
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 2: I think you would do that. Or would you just

917
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:33,960
Speaker 2: let me follow you and never let you go?

918
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 3: That is it? Yeah? That like the out onto him,

919
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 3: you know, you know, looking at the reaction around the spectator,

920
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:45,799
Speaker 3: who did it last? Night that that didn't seem to

921
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:47,359
Speaker 3: be a whole lot of people sort of looking at

922
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:50,160
Speaker 3: him as if he did something wrong either from from

923
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 3: my interpretation of it, like.

924
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:53,920
Speaker 2: Well, because it's this to me, you want this is

925
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:57,840
Speaker 2: different than the Warriors one. That one, if I remember correctly,

926
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 2: that guy's like reaching across to push him and he's

927
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 2: not pushing him out onto the court.

928
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:06,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's given a machine like just yeah.

929
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 2: Like leaning over, He's like, oh, there's an NBA player

930
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:10,600
Speaker 2: on the opposition. We're in the finals here at grand stage.

931
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:13,560
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna push him because I'm I don't know,

932
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:16,000
Speaker 2: an idiot or a jerk or something. This one is

933
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:18,920
Speaker 2: not that. To me, it's not the same. But Lowry,

934
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 2: no doubt, is feeling like he didn't need to do that.

935
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:22,640
Speaker 3: He gives me a little.

936
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:25,359
Speaker 2: Extra I gues is what he is what he's saying. Yeah,

937
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:27,759
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know what measures the league can

938
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:30,839
Speaker 2: do really to sort of prevent this. What like because

939
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 2: that this is gonna happen, I don't really know, And like,

940
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 2: what are you gonna do? They're gonna suspend this guy.

941
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 2: He's gonna never be able to come back to a

942
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:38,600
Speaker 2: basketball game.

943
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 4: What happened with the guy in Golden State, right, yeah, yeah, exactly.

944
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:45,520
Speaker 4: He got a monster fine and banned for a year.

945
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:47,080
Speaker 4: If I'm not missing I think that's right.

946
00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I honestly don't think this guy is gonna get

947
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:53,279
Speaker 3: any trouble because I just didn't feel it was that bad.

948
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:56,400
Speaker 3: And we saw earlier this year Isaiah Thomas gets suspended

949
00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:58,440
Speaker 3: for two games when he went into the stand to

950
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:00,239
Speaker 3: confront of God. And now that's different because he like

951
00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:03,440
Speaker 3: walked around and went in there. But I, you know,

952
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 3: I don't think this was one of those really bad

953
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:09,919
Speaker 3: interactions between a fan of Park. I think Larry did

954
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:13,239
Speaker 3: perhaps misinterpret it a little bit perhaps, I mean, once

955
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:14,960
Speaker 3: he looks back at it, he might he might see

956
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:17,000
Speaker 3: that the fan didn't really give him that you know,

957
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:20,360
Speaker 3: huge nasty shove. But we'll see, We'll see what happens

958
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:21,759
Speaker 3: in the next couple of days, if the Cavs do

959
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 3: anything about if the league does anything about it. But

960
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:27,640
Speaker 3: I don't think it was quite you know, that's serious,

961
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:28,760
Speaker 3: and that's severe.

962
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:30,600
Speaker 4: Crazy to think that just a couple of years ago,

963
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 4: we were a given Fan of the Year to that

964
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:33,760
Speaker 4: guy who squeezed Raman Sessions.

965
00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:37,279
Speaker 3: Budge That's fair, isn't it. If a fair player comes in,

966
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:38,920
Speaker 3: give him a squeeze.

967
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:44,319
Speaker 2: That's better. Interesting, that is definitely not better. Let's make

968
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:45,400
Speaker 2: that very clear.

969
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:46,720
Speaker 3: That's not better.

970
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 2: Well, the league did come down on the Grizzlies and

971
00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:53,400
Speaker 2: Knicks for their little scuffle too. Grizzlies Jaron Jackson Junior

972
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 2: and Marco Goodurrich. I had to check to see who

973
00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:01,319
Speaker 2: that was. Not very I don't know his game that well. Yeah,

974
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 2: I thought it was Marco Yarich for a seconds. Not

975
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:06,440
Speaker 2: that guy. And he's also not Dan Gadzurich. Yeah, or

976
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:07,160
Speaker 2: maybe as both of them.

977
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:07,239
Speaker 1: So.

978
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:10,360
Speaker 2: Jared Jackson Junior and Marco Here and Nick's guard Alfred

979
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:12,959
Speaker 2: Payton were suspended one game without pay by the NBA

980
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 2: on Thursday for their roles in that altercation. New York's

981
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 2: Marcus Morris was also fined thirty five thousand dollars, not

982
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:21,360
Speaker 2: only for his role on the court, but for his

983
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:24,960
Speaker 2: comments afterward when he said Grizzlies forward Jay Crowder played

984
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:28,640
Speaker 2: with female tendencies. We talked about this on yesterday's podcast.

985
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:33,560
Speaker 2: Crowder was find twenty five thousand dollars for escalating the skirmish.

986
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:37,319
Speaker 2: Everybody think of the punishments there fit the bill a

987
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:39,839
Speaker 2: bit weak that Marcus Morris only got thirty five grand.

988
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:40,920
Speaker 3: He should have gotten more for that.

989
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:43,480
Speaker 2: You believed, correct me if I'm wrong. You believe he

990
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:45,320
Speaker 2: maybe deserved a one game suspension.

991
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:47,719
Speaker 3: I believe he did deserve a one game suspension just

992
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:53,160
Speaker 3: for idiotic comments. Again, he apologized fun, but it doesn't

993
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:55,520
Speaker 3: remove the fact of what he said just should not

994
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:56,640
Speaker 3: be tolerated at all.

995
00:42:57,440 --> 00:42:59,920
Speaker 4: But yeah, and you're right, the thirty five thousand is

996
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:02,719
Speaker 4: a low number considering Joakim Noah a few years back

997
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:06,120
Speaker 4: got fined fifty thousand for using a derogatory and offensive

998
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:08,600
Speaker 4: term during a game. And he was just caught on

999
00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:10,359
Speaker 4: camera saying it. He's not saying it to the press.

1000
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:13,080
Speaker 4: Kobe Bryant as well was fined one hundred thousand dollars

1001
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:16,360
Speaker 4: for the same thing to a referee, not to the media.

1002
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 4: So Marcus Morris is sitting here in the locker room

1003
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:21,720
Speaker 4: talking about it, saying it on camera, asked the question,

1004
00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:25,279
Speaker 4: repeats it twice. That to me just doesn't add up,

1005
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 4: because I mean, these are derogatory and offensive terms as

1006
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:31,719
Speaker 4: well that are coming out of Morris's mouth. So the

1007
00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:34,400
Speaker 4: fact that he got thirty five thousand in twenty twenty,

1008
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:37,040
Speaker 4: as compared to Joakim Noah getting fIF twenty eleven.

1009
00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:39,080
Speaker 2: That seems strange to me. Sure, sure, let's hear from

1010
00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:41,080
Speaker 2: people out there. Let us know hashtag no Dunk's at

Speaker 2: Oh dirty edition of the pun Gun.

Speaker 2: Time for Tweet of the night. Tweet of the night,

1038
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:40,360
Speaker 2: Wow tweeted The night goes to Shams from the Athletic,

1039
00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:46,480
Speaker 2: He tweeted yesterday. Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon has committed

1040
00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:49,280
Speaker 2: to the NBA Slam Dunk Contest at All Star Weekend

1041
00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:53,520
Speaker 2: in Chicago. League sources tell The Athletic, NBA and Stadium.

1042
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 2: Gordon joins Dwight Howard and Derek Jones Junior as commitments.

1043
00:45:57,320 --> 00:46:02,239
Speaker 2: So far we have three Dwight, Derek Jones Jr. And

1044
00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:06,600
Speaker 2: now Aaron Gordon. This is good news. This is great news.

1045
00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 2: As long as he leaves the drones at home, this

1046
00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:11,839
Speaker 2: is gonna be great news. And I started thinking about this,

1047
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:13,920
Speaker 2: He's not gonna do this because why would you.

1048
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:14,360
Speaker 3: Ever do this?

1049
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:18,839
Speaker 2: But imagine he just did the exact same dunks that

1050
00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:22,759
Speaker 2: he did in twenty sixteen, where a lot of people

1051
00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:23,520
Speaker 2: thought he got robbed.

1052
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:23,799
Speaker 3: Right.

1053
00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:26,480
Speaker 2: Awesome contest, one of the best ever, no doubt. Zach

1054
00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:28,840
Speaker 2: Lavine winning it. Ultimately them going back and forth with

1055
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:31,719
Speaker 2: all the fifties. Imagine he just did like the one

1056
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:33,879
Speaker 2: where he sits under the ball or you know, puts

1057
00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:35,239
Speaker 2: it under his legs that looks like he's sitting in

1058
00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:37,560
Speaker 2: the chair in mid air, the one with the mascot

1059
00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:42,160
Speaker 2: spinning around, stuff like just really funny. Like I actually

1060
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:43,799
Speaker 2: think it would get him a win. I don't know why,

1061
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:46,719
Speaker 2: but that's interesting. Maybe it would. But so I think

1062
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:48,880
Speaker 2: I'd love to see him get stuff involved again. Stuff

1063
00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:52,200
Speaker 2: was money in those It looked cool, perfect execution. They

1064
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:54,920
Speaker 2: had obviously done some practicing. So maybe he'll do some

1065
00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:56,520
Speaker 2: more stuff. But I'm excited about this.

1066
00:46:56,640 --> 00:46:58,719
Speaker 3: So Zach lavine to think he holds them. If the

1067
00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:00,120
Speaker 3: NBA invots him back.

1068
00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:02,880
Speaker 2: I don't. I think he's uh. I think being in

1069
00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:05,359
Speaker 2: Chicago he'll do it. I think if it was anywhere else,

1070
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:08,200
Speaker 2: not a chance he would be like, no, I'm not

1071
00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:11,560
Speaker 2: going in it. I think he'll either be persuaded or

1072
00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:13,480
Speaker 2: we'll just be like, yeah, this is a little uh,

1073
00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:15,160
Speaker 2: you know, whatever you want to call it, thank you

1074
00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:17,200
Speaker 2: to the fans or something like that. I'm still a

1075
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:18,880
Speaker 2: whole note hope. Even though he didn't make the All

1076
00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:20,600
Speaker 2: Star Game, that he will do it.

1077
00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:22,120
Speaker 3: If I'm Zach say I'll do it if you let

1078
00:47:22,160 --> 00:47:23,399
Speaker 3: me in the three point shoot at as well.

1079
00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:29,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, negotiate. Yeah, I mean absolutely hopefully he does,

1080
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:31,919
Speaker 2: because that'd be an unbelie before and I'm still again

1081
00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:33,759
Speaker 2: whole note hope we're not done at four, that we

1082
00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:35,640
Speaker 2: maybe take it up to six or something like that.

1083
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:38,920
Speaker 4: But I think if you are looking at twenty sixteen

1084
00:47:39,239 --> 00:47:41,800
Speaker 4: the best dunk contest that has ever been, if you

1085
00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:43,920
Speaker 4: can get Zack Lavine and Aaron Gordon, then you're adding

1086
00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:47,560
Speaker 4: Derek Jones Junior, and who knows what Dwight still has

1087
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:50,480
Speaker 4: left in a dunk contest. I'm getting hype. As soon

1088
00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:52,560
Speaker 4: as we get that Zach Lavine announcement, I'm gonna be

1089
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:53,040
Speaker 4: going crazy.

1090
00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:56,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right, Levine and Gordon and then who almost

1091
00:47:56,640 --> 00:47:59,600
Speaker 2: who cares? Who else? Is enough to get you excited exactly,

1092
00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:01,520
Speaker 2: because that's all you're looking for in the dunk contest.

1093
00:48:01,520 --> 00:48:03,560
Speaker 2: You're looking for two guys going at it. I mean,

1094
00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:06,080
Speaker 2: that's why I love the concept of going back to

1095
00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:09,040
Speaker 2: five or six guys, because again, like the more bites

1096
00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:10,640
Speaker 2: out the apple, the chances to get to two guys

1097
00:48:10,719 --> 00:48:12,600
Speaker 2: really feeling it that night to go head to head,

1098
00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:15,560
Speaker 2: because that's what you're gonna remember. But yeah, you got

1099
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:17,440
Speaker 2: those two. And then Derek Jones Junior, who I have

1100
00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:20,040
Speaker 2: a lot of confidence in having now been in it

1101
00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:22,560
Speaker 2: to put on a show. And then Dwight's the wildcard.

1102
00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:26,080
Speaker 2: Dwight's like a it could be just a goofy Dwight

1103
00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:28,799
Speaker 2: ye like it's a laugh or two or I don't know,

1104
00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:31,440
Speaker 2: like he's ten years the brain store. I know, my goodness,

1105
00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:34,640
Speaker 2: my goodness. So we will see. We're waiting on obviously

1106
00:48:35,160 --> 00:48:38,200
Speaker 2: at least one more commitment from somebody. Hopefully it's two

1107
00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:41,680
Speaker 2: or three. Let's get to pick them. Results from Cashup.

00:49:52,080 --> 00:49:54,759
Speaker 2: To date, so we weren't picking from last night's games

1132
00:49:54,800 --> 00:49:57,279
Speaker 2: because it's already over in January. I just wanted to

1133
00:49:57,520 --> 00:50:01,879
Speaker 2: remind everyone of January's final result. Lee led the way.

1134
00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:04,840
Speaker 2: You started very hot in the month of January. You

1135
00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:06,200
Speaker 2: cooled off a bit, but you got it going at

1136
00:50:06,239 --> 00:50:07,320
Speaker 2: the end thirteen and seven.

1137
00:50:07,960 --> 00:50:10,880
Speaker 3: Again, it doesn't matter who wins. It doesn't you're not

1138
00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:12,920
Speaker 3: trying to win this, it's just trying to not to.

1139
00:50:13,960 --> 00:50:16,200
Speaker 2: Maybe people are taking our advice out there laying some

1140
00:50:16,239 --> 00:50:18,160
Speaker 2: coin down. You were thirteen and seven. That's a great,

1141
00:50:18,200 --> 00:50:18,880
Speaker 2: great record.

1142
00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:20,920
Speaker 4: Maybe we add up every single month and then in

1143
00:50:20,960 --> 00:50:23,200
Speaker 4: the final month we have a target score that you

1144
00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:25,120
Speaker 4: have to get and the guy behind has to pick

1145
00:50:25,200 --> 00:50:26,640
Speaker 4: so many games to get him right.

1146
00:50:27,200 --> 00:50:27,480
Speaker 3: I'm in.

1147
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:31,240
Speaker 2: I love it, Trey, You're twelve and eight, very solid.

1148
00:50:32,040 --> 00:50:35,319
Speaker 2: I kept my streak at least alive of above five

1149
00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:38,120
Speaker 2: hundred so far for the months I finished eleven and nine.

1150
00:50:38,280 --> 00:50:40,239
Speaker 2: You know, just a bit above five hundred and task

1151
00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:42,759
Speaker 2: I said, coming in last in January eight and twelve

1152
00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:45,760
Speaker 2: rough month for Tassi there, so he will be paying

1153
00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:48,680
Speaker 2: off January's pick him loss. We got a few things

1154
00:50:48,719 --> 00:50:51,120
Speaker 2: in mind. He's obviously away right now having the new baby.

1155
00:50:51,120 --> 00:50:54,680

1159
00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:04,680
Speaker 2: there for January. Okay, we're almost done with this bad

1160
00:51:04,719 --> 00:51:07,080
Speaker 2: boy here. This fun drop podcast on a Friday, but

1161
00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:12,600
Speaker 2: before we go, a little rapid fire phone after being

1162
00:51:12,680 --> 00:51:13,880
Speaker 2: destroyed by the Grizzlies.

1163
00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:16,799
Speaker 4: On Wednesday night, the Knicks showed why revenge is a

1164
00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:20,200
Speaker 4: shower best served cold, literally, as the New York Daily

1165
00:51:20,239 --> 00:51:23,480
Speaker 4: News is. Christian Winfield tweeted that Jah Morant said the

1166
00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:27,520
Speaker 4: Knicks visitor showers had no hot water and only three

1167
00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:29,319
Speaker 4: drops of any kind of water coming out.

1168
00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:30,240
Speaker 2: Not good.

1169
00:51:30,520 --> 00:51:34,200
Speaker 4: Guys, tell me about your worst shower experience, skeets.

1170
00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:39,839
Speaker 2: There actually are no bad shower experiences. And here's why

1171
00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:43,800
Speaker 2: I'm gonna let you in on a little old skeatzy story.

1172
00:51:44,680 --> 00:51:46,440
Speaker 2: So I grew up in Strafford. I grew up in

1173
00:51:46,480 --> 00:51:48,680
Speaker 2: an old house, a very very old house. Did not

1174
00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:51,080
Speaker 2: come from a lot of money. And my house was

1175
00:51:51,120 --> 00:51:54,320
Speaker 2: so old at the time when I was younger that

1176
00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:58,640
Speaker 2: we didn't have a shower. We had only a bathtube.

1177
00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:00,919
Speaker 2: It was a very very old host and for whatever

1178
00:52:00,920 --> 00:52:02,799
Speaker 2: reason my parents didn't install a shower, I guess because

1179
00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:05,040
Speaker 2: it costs money and tub it up. We had to

1180
00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:08,680
Speaker 2: tub it up, but that was fine when you're five, six, seven,

1181
00:52:09,719 --> 00:52:13,120
Speaker 2: eight nine. Once you start getting into your tens and elevens,

1182
00:52:14,040 --> 00:52:16,719
Speaker 2: it's really weird to have to take a bath to

1183
00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:18,560
Speaker 2: get clear, and.

1184
00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:19,080
Speaker 3: I hated it.

1185
00:52:19,160 --> 00:52:23,160
Speaker 2: Of course you would learn to hate it, so that

1186
00:52:23,320 --> 00:52:26,320
Speaker 2: t Why is now? I just I respect every shower

1187
00:52:27,239 --> 00:52:30,520
Speaker 2: whole cold. You know, a little piddly little thing falling

1188
00:52:30,560 --> 00:52:34,480
Speaker 2: on you hurts. It's better than a bath now, JD.

1189
00:52:34,600 --> 00:52:36,160
Speaker 2: I know you love a bath, but you don't want

1190
00:52:36,160 --> 00:52:39,120
Speaker 2: a bath every day or not a mandatory, but when

1191
00:52:39,160 --> 00:52:41,560
Speaker 2: you're a kid. So yeah, that was weird. And then

1192
00:52:41,600 --> 00:52:43,520
Speaker 2: we ripped our house down and finally built a new

1193
00:52:43,560 --> 00:52:48,200
Speaker 2: house with showers in it. To visit it was like

1194
00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:51,240
Speaker 2: I was, like I was, It was like thirteen fourteen

1195
00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:53,560
Speaker 2: is when we ripped down our old house and then

1196
00:52:53,560 --> 00:52:58,080
Speaker 2: built a new house with those new fangled showers. Yeah,

1197
00:52:58,120 --> 00:52:59,000
Speaker 2: it's crazy.

1198
00:52:58,680 --> 00:52:59,560
Speaker 3: Man, when I think about it.

1199
00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:03,640
Speaker 2: When I was younger, I've been wrinkling my hallway.

1200
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:10,560
Speaker 4: I can see why you respect everything, So be careful

1201
00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:11,359
Speaker 4: with your answers here.

1202
00:53:14,440 --> 00:53:16,479
Speaker 3: Well, when I first tried to think of an answer

1203
00:53:16,560 --> 00:53:18,319
Speaker 3: this question, I thought, you know, when was the time

1204
00:53:18,360 --> 00:53:20,319
Speaker 3: I had had like a bad shower, like you know

1205
00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:22,879
Speaker 3: where you walk in and it's dirty and it's low

1206
00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:26,319
Speaker 3: pressure and stuff. But actually, when I thought experience, it's

1207
00:53:26,360 --> 00:53:28,520
Speaker 3: really when I'm at home now and say my wife

1208
00:53:28,560 --> 00:53:30,919
Speaker 3: is is out and my two boys are in the house,

1209
00:53:30,960 --> 00:53:32,560
Speaker 3: I'm like, all right, boys, I'm going for a shower.

1210
00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:35,080
Speaker 3: No crazy while I'm in the shower, is what I

1211
00:53:35,120 --> 00:53:39,080
Speaker 3: say to them. Almost every single time, without fail, someone's

1212
00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:41,920
Speaker 3: yelling at the other one. There's fighting, there's you know, crying,

1213
00:53:41,920 --> 00:53:44,239
Speaker 3: there's some sort of chaos going on. Or my three

1214
00:53:44,320 --> 00:53:46,879
Speaker 3: year old will come in, almost without fail, start doing

1215
00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:48,759
Speaker 3: the little peepee dance. Daddy, I need a peepy, I

1216
00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:51,239
Speaker 3: need a peek. Just give me a can you hold

1217
00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:53,600
Speaker 3: on for like two minutes? No, daddy, I really need

1218
00:53:53,640 --> 00:53:55,239
Speaker 3: to go. And then he'll start banging on the door

1219
00:53:55,440 --> 00:53:59,080
Speaker 3: say get out, and I'm like, all right, all right,

1220
00:53:59,160 --> 00:54:01,800
Speaker 3: all right. So I come out of my beautiful shower,

1221
00:54:01,880 --> 00:54:04,600
Speaker 3: half washed, half had washed. I have to you know,

1222
00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:06,840
Speaker 3: dry myself like a madman to go and sit on

1223
00:54:06,880 --> 00:54:09,800
Speaker 3: the putty with my three year old. So that happens

1224
00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:11,439
Speaker 3: nearly every weekend at my house.

1225
00:54:13,640 --> 00:54:17,560
Speaker 6: Jd Well at one time again, I love showers as

1226
00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:19,839
Speaker 6: much as I loved paths. Okay, so you know there's

1227
00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:21,839
Speaker 6: there is no bad chower. But I did have one

1228
00:54:21,960 --> 00:54:25,960
Speaker 6: bad shower experience. I was sick and I had a

1229
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:29,359
Speaker 6: fever that was approaching one hundred and seven. So my

1230
00:54:29,719 --> 00:54:34,040
Speaker 6: wife made me get into an ice cold shower and

1231
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:37,279
Speaker 6: I was like freezing and it ended up turning into

1232
00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:39,000
Speaker 6: a bath. Like she just put the plug in and

1233
00:54:39,040 --> 00:54:42,080
Speaker 6: then made me sit down in this cold water, and

1234
00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:44,279
Speaker 6: then she went and she was like she was sort

1235
00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:48,399
Speaker 6: of you know, she was maybe getting a little she's overreacting,

1236
00:54:48,440 --> 00:54:51,319
Speaker 6: I thought, but you know, she was like went and

1237
00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:55,360
Speaker 6: got ice trays at it, like putting ice into the

1238
00:54:55,719 --> 00:54:59,560
Speaker 6: into the bath, and it did actually bring the fever down,

1239
00:54:59,600 --> 00:55:00,879
Speaker 6: and I thought it's a little bit better.

1240
00:55:00,920 --> 00:55:03,200
Speaker 5: But at the time it was hell.

1241
00:55:03,280 --> 00:55:06,040
Speaker 3: It was just wor no thank you.

1242
00:55:06,239 --> 00:55:07,279
Speaker 2: That must have felt so cold.

1243
00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:07,840
Speaker 3: Well hmm.

1244
00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:11,640
Speaker 4: Next the question comes from Jeshua Kid, who writes in

1245
00:55:11,680 --> 00:55:14,279
Speaker 4: to say, for Christmas, my fiance got me an official

1246
00:55:14,760 --> 00:55:17,160
Speaker 4: NBA game ball one hundred and sixty bucks.

1247
00:55:17,200 --> 00:55:17,600
Speaker 3: Broh.

1248
00:55:18,120 --> 00:55:19,120
Speaker 2: I've always wanted one.

1249
00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:21,160
Speaker 4: I was super excited to take it to the gym

1250
00:55:21,200 --> 00:55:23,359
Speaker 4: for my weekly pickup crew to play with.

1251
00:55:23,960 --> 00:55:25,920
Speaker 2: But guess what they hated it.

1252
00:55:26,640 --> 00:55:28,759
Speaker 4: I only get to shoot with it alone because out

1253
00:55:28,760 --> 00:55:30,880
Speaker 4: of the box, it isn't a good ball. It takes

1254
00:55:30,880 --> 00:55:34,759
Speaker 4: two months to be game ready the question from Jeshua.

1255
00:55:34,960 --> 00:55:37,080
Speaker 4: When was a time you got something you were super

1256
00:55:37,120 --> 00:55:40,000
Speaker 4: excited about but other people just killed that vibe.

1257
00:55:40,080 --> 00:55:40,520
Speaker 2: Skeets.

1258
00:55:40,840 --> 00:55:41,080
Speaker 3: Umm.

1259
00:55:41,680 --> 00:55:44,479
Speaker 2: Not too long ago, probably maybe less than a year ago.

1260
00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:48,399
Speaker 2: I had my oddly little shoe phase where I'm like, oh, yeah,

1261
00:55:48,440 --> 00:55:50,280
Speaker 2: I want to get these shoes. I've always wanted these shoes.

1262
00:55:50,320 --> 00:55:51,839
Speaker 2: Now I can afford them. I'm going to get these.

1263
00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:53,279
Speaker 3: Whatever. Start looking at be it.

1264
00:55:53,360 --> 00:55:55,720
Speaker 2: Stock X or whatever. So I was like, I always

1265
00:55:55,719 --> 00:55:58,600
Speaker 2: wanted some Airmax ninety threes. You know, they obviously are

1266
00:55:58,600 --> 00:56:00,560
Speaker 2: always releasing those in cool color, and I think it

1267
00:56:00,600 --> 00:56:02,239
Speaker 2: was the mental colorway, and I was like, man, I

1268
00:56:02,320 --> 00:56:04,239
Speaker 2: like those, I'm gonna get those. I was like, cool,

1269
00:56:04,239 --> 00:56:06,360
Speaker 2: why not, I'll grab them. So I get them. I

1270
00:56:06,680 --> 00:56:09,440
Speaker 2: guess I'm excited to have them rock them the first time.

1271
00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:12,480
Speaker 2: My wife hates them. Nora hates them. She's like, what

1272
00:56:12,600 --> 00:56:16,680
Speaker 2: are those? She thinks me, yeah, exactly, she dropped down

1273
00:56:16,719 --> 00:56:20,400
Speaker 2: to the ground. She thinks they look like shoes that

1274
00:56:20,600 --> 00:56:24,520
Speaker 2: either nurses would wear, or like corrective type shoes or

1275
00:56:24,640 --> 00:56:28,040
Speaker 2: something an old armenion would wear. Because she said, quote

1276
00:56:28,080 --> 00:56:30,640
Speaker 2: and quoting Nora, they look like the type of shoes

1277
00:56:30,680 --> 00:56:33,920
Speaker 2: my dad would eventually cut the backs off of and

1278
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:36,279
Speaker 2: wear like slippers, which is something her dad does, which

1279
00:56:36,280 --> 00:56:40,160
Speaker 2: I actually think is brilliant. That's like like a sneaker. Yeah,

1280
00:56:40,239 --> 00:56:42,919
Speaker 2: he'll take like an older sneaker, cut the back off,

1281
00:56:42,960 --> 00:56:45,319
Speaker 2: and now it's like a shoe slipper. Okay, that's pretty Yeah,

1282
00:56:45,320 --> 00:56:47,560
Speaker 2: it's pretty pretty cool idea. But she hates them, and

1283
00:56:47,600 --> 00:56:49,600
Speaker 2: now I'm like, I mean, I'll still wear them once

1284
00:56:49,600 --> 00:56:50,759
Speaker 2: in a while. I don't care that much if she

1285
00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:52,440
Speaker 2: hates them, But now every time I put them on,

1286
00:56:52,440 --> 00:56:54,840
Speaker 2: she like, is she the only one thinking this? Or

1287
00:56:54,960 --> 00:56:57,680
Speaker 2: like other people like the cool man nurse Skeet's coming

1288
00:56:57,719 --> 00:57:01,560
Speaker 2: in here. So yeah, so, and there's other pairs of

1289
00:57:01,560 --> 00:57:02,600
Speaker 2: shoes she does not like.

1290
00:57:04,360 --> 00:57:06,640
Speaker 3: Mine. Is not a thing. It's an activity because when

1291
00:57:06,640 --> 00:57:08,399
Speaker 3: we were kids, we used to go camping a lot,

1292
00:57:08,520 --> 00:57:10,560
Speaker 3: and I remember sometimes Dad would come home from work

1293
00:57:10,560 --> 00:57:12,719
Speaker 3: on a Friday, throw the tent in the car, and bang,

1294
00:57:12,719 --> 00:57:14,160
Speaker 3: We're off for a couple of nights somewhere to the

1295
00:57:14,160 --> 00:57:16,560
Speaker 3: beach or a campground somewhere. And so I had so

1296
00:57:16,640 --> 00:57:18,880
Speaker 3: many great memories and so much fun that I want

1297
00:57:18,920 --> 00:57:22,280
Speaker 3: to experience that with my kids. However, my wife, who

1298
00:57:22,280 --> 00:57:24,680
Speaker 3: I love dearly nearly, you'd married thirteen years now, had

1299
00:57:24,680 --> 00:57:28,320
Speaker 3: an awful camping experience in Peru, so any time, and

1300
00:57:28,360 --> 00:57:30,360
Speaker 3: we've sort of started talking about our summer plans now

1301
00:57:30,400 --> 00:57:32,680
Speaker 3: and I'm saying, oh, why don't we go camping somewhere?

1302
00:57:32,720 --> 00:57:34,480
Speaker 3: You know, I was great when I was a kid.

1303
00:57:34,480 --> 00:57:36,280
Speaker 3: When I show her photos because my brother and his

1304
00:57:36,320 --> 00:57:38,400
Speaker 3: wife and their kids go camping in Australia, and I'm like,

1305
00:57:38,600 --> 00:57:42,880
Speaker 3: look how much fun they're having. Very very tough self.

1306
00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:46,080
Speaker 3: They all can't get my wife to go aboard it.

1307
00:57:46,120 --> 00:57:48,520
Speaker 3: And her main reasoning is just because of the facilities.

1308
00:57:48,520 --> 00:57:51,400
Speaker 3: And you know, you know, but campgrounds have improved, even

1309
00:57:51,400 --> 00:57:54,480
Speaker 3: though I haven't been camping in this country, but roved.

1310
00:57:54,640 --> 00:57:56,560
Speaker 3: They must have been proved. I remember when we were

1311
00:57:56,600 --> 00:57:58,520
Speaker 3: a kid, I mean three boys in our family. Of

1312
00:57:58,560 --> 00:58:00,960
Speaker 3: course we would you know, use the trees and the

1313
00:58:00,960 --> 00:58:03,840
Speaker 3: bush or whatever you need to go. But now, you know,

1314
00:58:03,880 --> 00:58:06,160
Speaker 3: as a parent with my wife, she's like, I just

1315
00:58:06,200 --> 00:58:09,640
Speaker 3: want something where you know, the facilities are clean and functionable.

1316
00:58:09,720 --> 00:58:12,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, So still working on it, working on still get

1317
00:58:12,920 --> 00:58:13,640
Speaker 2: her after.

1318
00:58:13,440 --> 00:58:15,840
Speaker 3: Thirteen years, haven't had any success yet with it.

1319
00:58:17,320 --> 00:58:19,040
Speaker 2: Why do you give her a weekend break? Why don't

1320
00:58:19,080 --> 00:58:21,480
Speaker 2: you just take the boys boys camping trip.

1321
00:58:21,520 --> 00:58:23,200
Speaker 3: Here we go. You know what, I haven't thought.

1322
00:58:23,040 --> 00:58:24,160
Speaker 2: Of it at least try it out?

1323
00:58:24,240 --> 00:58:27,320
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, like close by, yeah yeah yeah.

1324
00:58:27,440 --> 00:58:29,640
Speaker 2: There's no shortage of places of it than yeah.

1325
00:58:29,760 --> 00:58:32,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, that's a good idea. I've never thought about

1326
00:58:32,320 --> 00:58:32,720
Speaker 3: it like that.

1327
00:58:34,920 --> 00:58:36,480
Speaker 2: Lee didn't know that he could take his.

1328
00:58:36,520 --> 00:58:40,960
Speaker 4: Own kids for a week from well, he's obviously scarred

1329
00:58:40,960 --> 00:58:42,160
Speaker 4: by every time he takes a shower.

1330
00:58:42,200 --> 00:58:45,120
Speaker 2: He's got to come out of that beautiful shower watched.

1331
00:58:47,680 --> 00:58:51,280
Speaker 6: I'm a very sweaty person, and when I'm working out,

1332
00:58:51,360 --> 00:58:56,000
Speaker 6: especially the sweat pores out of my head specifically. So

1333
00:58:56,880 --> 00:59:01,760
Speaker 6: I ordered some yoga head you know yeah, and I

1334
00:59:01,840 --> 00:59:05,480
Speaker 6: was very excited and there it was like new technology

1335
00:59:05,520 --> 00:59:11,280
Speaker 6: where it wicks the sweat away and then it evaporates.

1336
00:59:11,600 --> 00:59:16,120
Speaker 6: So it's this wonderful technology that doesn't work at all.

1337
00:59:16,200 --> 00:59:19,040
Speaker 6: It's completely It's just like I'm not wearing a headband

1338
00:59:19,360 --> 00:59:22,600
Speaker 6: and it just pours out of me. But I kind

1339
00:59:22,640 --> 00:59:25,720
Speaker 6: of like the headbands. I like wearing a headband, and

1340
00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:31,240
Speaker 6: it's similar to you skeets. My wife cannot look at

1341
00:59:31,280 --> 00:59:34,080
Speaker 6: me when I'm wearing a headband. She just hates the

1342
00:59:34,120 --> 00:59:38,080
Speaker 6: way it looks right. So it's that I'm excited about

1343
00:59:38,080 --> 00:59:41,720
Speaker 6: these headbands, but I can never wear them because I

1344
00:59:41,720 --> 00:59:42,919
Speaker 6: would like to have sex again.

1345
00:59:42,960 --> 00:59:46,120
Speaker 3: That's beg judged right, all right?

1346
00:59:46,160 --> 00:59:50,280
Speaker 4: Final question, would you like to have sex? Againts Damian Lillard.

1347
00:59:50,520 --> 00:59:52,920
Speaker 4: He's money from thirty feet but according to Blazer's reporter

1348
00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:57,120
Speaker 4: Casey Holdall, he's considering shooting from past half court yet.

1349
00:59:57,120 --> 00:59:59,400
Speaker 4: But Lillard hasn't done it yet because his coach, Terry

1350
00:59:59,400 --> 01:00:00,960
Speaker 4: Stops would quote.

1351
01:00:00,880 --> 01:00:04,440
Speaker 2: Probably lose it if I did that. Probably trip. Guys.

1352
01:00:04,440 --> 01:00:06,760
Speaker 4: What's something ridiculous you want to try even though people

1353
01:00:06,840 --> 01:00:07,680
Speaker 4: might not like it?

1354
01:00:07,720 --> 01:00:12,360
Speaker 2: Skates paragliding? Yeah, I know my wife wouldn't like it

1355
01:00:12,400 --> 01:00:15,000
Speaker 2: if I tried it. I'm sure there's other people, but

1356
01:00:15,080 --> 01:00:17,120
Speaker 2: I see it like I think I follow too many

1357
01:00:17,120 --> 01:00:21,000
Speaker 2: weird like red Bull accounts on Instagram. These I see

1358
01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:25,200
Speaker 2: these cool videos. Either they're doing awesome parkour or they're

1359
01:00:25,200 --> 01:00:27,800
Speaker 2: doing some sort of cool paragliding. I've never paraglided. I've

1360
01:00:27,840 --> 01:00:30,439
Speaker 2: skydived once. Actually didn't like that either.

1361
01:00:30,520 --> 01:00:31,120
Speaker 3: That was awesome.

1362
01:00:31,160 --> 01:00:32,920
Speaker 2: I mean I do that again in a heartbeat, but

1363
01:00:32,960 --> 01:00:36,240
Speaker 2: the paragliding is very creepy looking when you watch these

1364
01:00:36,320 --> 01:00:39,080
Speaker 2: videos and it's like you're like, these guys like their feet,

1365
01:00:39,160 --> 01:00:41,880
Speaker 2: like they'll they'll clip tree tops and stuff like that,

1366
01:00:42,200 --> 01:00:44,520
Speaker 2: and women it's it's it's wild. I don't know if

1367
01:00:44,560 --> 01:00:47,640
Speaker 2: I'll ever do it, but maybe one of these one day.

1368
01:00:48,160 --> 01:00:51,520
Speaker 3: I think last year. Yeah, where you go out with

1369
01:00:51,600 --> 01:00:52,800
Speaker 3: somebody by yourself, well.

1370
01:00:52,720 --> 01:00:54,720
Speaker 2: You'd have to start with something. You can't just jump

1371
01:00:54,720 --> 01:00:56,760
Speaker 2: off a mountain with a kite.

1372
01:00:57,440 --> 01:00:59,160
Speaker 3: It's awesome. Yeah, it's awesome.

1373
01:00:59,240 --> 01:01:00,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I know. I like the idea of it.

1374
01:01:00,800 --> 01:01:02,720
Speaker 2: I mean again, I loved bungee jumping and I loved

1375
01:01:02,720 --> 01:01:04,520
Speaker 2: sk so I honestly why I wouldn't like that. I

1376
01:01:04,560 --> 01:01:07,400
Speaker 2: liked hates. I like that concept of being like flying man.

1377
01:01:07,520 --> 01:01:09,240
Speaker 3: I did it like over the city of Limur a

1378
01:01:09,280 --> 01:01:11,120
Speaker 3: couple of times, like there's buildings there and you're like, oh,

1379
01:01:11,440 --> 01:01:14,920
Speaker 3: I hope he's going to turn Yeah yeah he did. Scary.

1380
01:01:18,400 --> 01:01:21,280
Speaker 3: Has everyone seen the docu movie Free Solo with alexn Old?

1381
01:01:21,320 --> 01:01:24,800
Speaker 3: Hell yeah yeah, great movie, Like terrifyingly scary but great.

1382
01:01:25,280 --> 01:01:28,120
Speaker 3: You know, so he's climbing El Capitan, the rock face

1383
01:01:28,160 --> 01:01:30,160
Speaker 3: in Yosemite National Park there. Now I don't want to

1384
01:01:30,160 --> 01:01:32,360
Speaker 3: do that. That's crazy, that's great I couldn't do it,

1385
01:01:32,560 --> 01:01:33,960
Speaker 3: but I'd like to just at least get to the

1386
01:01:34,040 --> 01:01:36,920
Speaker 3: bottom and see how high you could go by yourself,

1387
01:01:37,960 --> 01:01:39,640
Speaker 3: just to see, just to see.

1388
01:01:40,120 --> 01:01:41,760
Speaker 2: I don't think you go very hard. I would not

1389
01:01:41,920 --> 01:01:44,400
Speaker 2: go very hang. I you don't right clib.

1390
01:01:44,360 --> 01:01:46,919
Speaker 3: No, no, no, but I used to like climb trees

1391
01:01:46,960 --> 01:01:52,320
Speaker 3: and stuff all the time. Anyway, The point is when

1392
01:01:52,360 --> 01:01:55,360
Speaker 3: you watch that movie like it's it's terrifying because you

1393
01:01:55,480 --> 01:01:57,160
Speaker 3: just think of what could happen here. But I'd like

1394
01:01:57,240 --> 01:01:58,960
Speaker 3: to just at least get to the bottom. This is

1395
01:01:59,000 --> 01:02:01,440
Speaker 3: like you know, shooting around on an NBA court, like

1396
01:02:01,760 --> 01:02:03,720
Speaker 3: you can make a shot. You could never play in

1397
01:02:03,720 --> 01:02:06,800
Speaker 3: the NBA. So in this instant you'd be like, I

1398
01:02:06,840 --> 01:02:08,520
Speaker 3: wonder if I could just get like three ft off

1399
01:02:08,520 --> 01:02:08,920
Speaker 3: the ground.

1400
01:02:08,960 --> 01:02:11,280
Speaker 2: You know, you're like, yeah, I mean you like the

1401
01:02:11,360 --> 01:02:15,000
Speaker 2: grips these guys women are doing you. By the way,

1402
01:02:15,240 --> 01:02:17,400
Speaker 2: if you actually committed yourself, I think would be a

1403
01:02:17,400 --> 01:02:18,360
Speaker 2: really good rock climber.

1404
01:02:18,680 --> 01:02:21,760
Speaker 4: You're strong as an ox and you got you know,

1405
01:02:21,840 --> 01:02:24,280
Speaker 4: you got those manly hands. I'm telling you years of

1406
01:02:24,280 --> 01:02:26,000
Speaker 4: bar three training flexibility.

1407
01:02:26,080 --> 01:02:28,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you you should go to a you know,

1408
01:02:28,440 --> 01:02:31,280
Speaker 2: indoor rock climbing and try that it's too or let

1409
01:02:31,320 --> 01:02:33,400
Speaker 2: me give you another idea. Take your kids. They got

1410
01:02:33,400 --> 01:02:37,960
Speaker 2: campgrounds at Yosemite. Oh yeah, perfect, Two birds wants thrown there?

1411
01:02:38,000 --> 01:02:39,040
Speaker 3: We go, all right?

1412
01:02:39,320 --> 01:02:47,000
Speaker 6: JD Luge, same thing, though my wife would would kill

1413
01:02:47,040 --> 01:02:50,600
Speaker 6: me and nobody wants to see me in a skin tight.

1414
01:02:54,720 --> 01:02:58,720
Speaker 3: Would you wear a headbit under the helmet, Yeah for sure,

1415
01:02:58,760 --> 01:03:01,560
Speaker 3: and over the helmet lose.

1416
01:03:01,720 --> 01:03:04,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, that would that'd be cool to try to You're right.

1417
01:03:04,320 --> 01:03:06,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, it'd be so cool, But I would fly off

1418
01:03:06,320 --> 01:03:08,000
Speaker 6: the tracks.

1419
01:03:08,600 --> 01:03:11,120
Speaker 2: Well, look, I mean you're starting out. If you're gonna

1420
01:03:11,120 --> 01:03:12,680
Speaker 2: do this, you're gonna start out in a four man

1421
01:03:12,760 --> 01:03:14,480
Speaker 2: bob sled or something like that. Just sit at the

1422
01:03:14,560 --> 01:03:16,600
Speaker 2: in the middle and just do nothing, just like shift

1423
01:03:16,600 --> 01:03:20,240
Speaker 2: your weight around a little bit and the triggers. Yeah,

1424
01:03:20,520 --> 01:03:22,640
Speaker 2: I'll literally say, you're just gonna sit there, help push it,

1425
01:03:22,640 --> 01:03:24,760
Speaker 2: I guess, and then jump in. But yeah, that's I

1426
01:03:24,760 --> 01:03:27,320
Speaker 2: bet that's difficult as it is. They make that stuff

1427
01:03:27,360 --> 01:03:29,280
Speaker 2: look easy and let me try it.

1428
01:03:29,400 --> 01:03:35,280
Speaker 4: Do they just have like casual amateur lusion bobses Like

1429
01:03:35,320 --> 01:03:37,400
Speaker 4: I mean not here in Atlanta obviously, but like I

01:04:07,280 --> 01:04:10,080
Speaker 2: There's no way I would say, but it just seems

1444
