Speaker 1: Don't listening to sports. What is up, ladies and gentlemen.

00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:11,959

Speaker 1: lot actually happened this week. Um, Lakers, We will get

11
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 1: limitations apply. I really was hoping we would start with

12
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 1: the Lakers. They would win Game six on Thursday, and oh,

13
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: we would just cruise into the weekend. Monster Monster Saturday

14
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: Night planned around the Lakers Game seven Verse the Sun's

15
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: and it did not come to happen. Anthony Davis of

16
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: is hurt six minutes in and that was that for

17
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:05,319
Speaker 1: the Lakers. But we will put a bowl in the

18
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 1: Lakers season. I got a guests coming by a little

19
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:11,400
Speaker 1: later to talk about that. Lots on Lebron. I'm sure

20
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,479
Speaker 1: the Lebron haters remember we opened the phone lines Ryan

21
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: two weeks ago, and the unwashed masses were just coming

22
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 1: at me hard for Lebron. So I imagine everybody's gonna

23
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 1: be doing a victory lap today. That's fine, you guys,

24
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 1: get in your shots. It's good. It's all good. Listen.

25
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 1: Lebron is a big boy. He could take it. I

26
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 1: have no stake in this matter. Um uh. You know,

27
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: Lebron the greatest of all time if you ask me. Um.

28
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 1: But we'll do a lot of that later. I have

29
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: to start the show because the Clippers Maverick series is

30
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: officially you know, I thought it was just one of

31
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: the craziest series I've ever seen. And I thought the

32
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: Raptors Bucks from a couple of years ago where Milwaukee

33
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: goes up two oh and then they lose four straight.

34
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: You're like, how did this happen? That's just just crazy.

35
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:00,559
Speaker 1: I thought that was one of the crazy your series.

36
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: But officially, Clippers maths. Nobody has won a home game

37
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: yet and it's three three heading to game seven now

38
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: at the outset. You guys, remember, I want a Cowherd

39
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 1: show on my daily podcast for I heart straight Fire.

40
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: I picked the MAVs. I picked Luka Don Chech. I

41
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: said he's the he was the best player on the

42
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: floor in the series last year. He's the best player

43
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: on the floor in the series. This year, Luca will

44
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: lead them to victory. And then a funny thing happened

45
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:34,239
Speaker 1: in Game six. You know, Kawhi Leonard said I'll take

46
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: this game, thank you very much, and went postal in

47
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. By the way, I had a bet

48
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: on Kauai over twenty nine and a half points and

49
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 1: they jumped up to over thirty and a half and

50
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: I said, oh, everybody's on this. Kauai I think had

51
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 1: two or three points in the first quarter. That was it.

52
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: And it was like, oh, what the heck is going

53
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: on here? And Kawhi Leonard, in the words of Luca

54
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: don Chech, destroyed us. That's what Luka Done had said. Afterward,

55
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: he kind of looked at the question and he was like,

56
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: he destroyed us. You know, Kauai is one of the

57
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: best players in the NBA. Of course, he is quite

58
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:17,519
Speaker 1: at forty five points, unstoppable, Kauai was phenomenal. Now I'm

59
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: just gonna point this out to everybody who wants to

60
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: spin it forward. Who's gonna win Game seven? J I

61
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 1: don't understand how anybody could possibly know or have an

62
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: idea who's gonna win Game seven in the series. But

63
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say this. If you guys know the largest

64
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: Clipper fan in l A. His name is Clipper Darryl.

65
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: He wears all the Clipper gear all around. He's become

66
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: like a thing at Clipper games. He made them his team.

67
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 1: I had him on my podcast Straight Fire at the

68
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: outside of this series. We made a friendly wager that

69
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 1: if the Clippers lose to the Maths he would have

70
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: to stop his stick and all that stuff and coming

71
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: at me on social media trying to fight me all

72
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: this nonsense. And he said, well, guess what if the

73
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: Mavericks win, you gotta admit you were wrong and the

74
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: Clippers are a good team. And I was like, that's fine. Listen.

75
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: I've hammered the Clippers on Undisputed several times this year.

76
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: I've hammered him on Cowhard on FS one like they're

77
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: not I don't believe in them. And Clipper Darryl we

78
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: made disagreement, and he said one interesting thing, as long

79
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: as they don't have to play too many games in

80
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 1: the day, the Clippers should be fine. For whatever reason,

81
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 1: they can't play day games. I don't know if it's

82
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: the early start in l A. I don't know if

83
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 1: it's Paul George like going to stay out with Instagram wife,

84
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: you know, and for whatever reason, the Clippers really struggle

85
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 1: in day games. And did you look at what time

86
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: Game seven is on Sunday, twelve thirty eastern. I'm sorry,

87
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: twelve thirty Pacific start. So three thirty eastern, twelve thirty Pacific.

88
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: That's a day game for the Clippers. All these Clippers

89
00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: fans online last night, they're like, oh, it's a day game.

90
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: We're screwed of folks. You know, I trust the data.

91
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: You know, when you believe something firmly and then you

92
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: see data that says otherwise, you gotta pivot or you're

93
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: just an idiot. I have long said Michael Jordan's greatest

94
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: player of all time. A couple of years ago, the

95
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: data started to show it's headed Lebron's way. I said, fine,

96
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: if Lebron wins it one more title with the Lakers,

97
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: he will have gone ah wanting winning a title with

98
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: the Heat, winning a title with the Calves, winning a

99
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: title with the Lakers. I'm gonna get how to ahead

100
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 1: of this and say Lebron is the best of all time.

101
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,919
Speaker 1: Lebron did that in the bubble. I've gone Lebron the best.

102
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: The data says Lebron is going to be the best

103
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: when his career is over. He's thirty six and he's

104
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 1: not done, and he's got like every almost every statistical

105
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: head to head he beats Michael Jordan and everything. Because

106
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 1: he's late eighteen years durability matters. The data is not

107
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: available for Clippers and day games. It's just a thing

108
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: right now. I want somebody listening to find the information

109
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: for me. What data is there that has all these

110
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,720
Speaker 1: Clippers fans scared of day games. Give it to me

111
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: because I need to see it, and I'm unable to

112
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,280
Speaker 1: find it online anywhere. I don't know if it's one

113
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: of these narrative things that has built. But the Clippers

114
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 1: fans are deathly afraid of this. I say, guys, what

115
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: on earth are the Clippers afraid of? It's it's Luca

116
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,599
Speaker 1: Donte and a bunch of guys. We saw in the

117
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: fourth quarter the strategy. We're gonna let anybody but Luca beatis.

118
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: Luca was great again. Twenty nine eleven and eight. But

119
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter the Hedges were hard on the

120
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: on the pick, on the pick and roll, and they

121
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,039
Speaker 1: basically made him give the ball up. And what happened.

122
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: Tim Hardaway missed a key open three. Dorian Finney Smith

123
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 1: missed a key open three. Maxi Cleiber basically went to

124
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 1: number two in his pants. Uh. He was awful. I

125
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 1: mean he was brutal. Oh for four in twenty one

126
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 1: minutes minus thirteen. The MAVs bench got murdered ty Lou

127
00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: And I'll give Tyler credit. And at the risk of

128
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 1: pumping up straight fire again, I had on one of

129
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 1: his good buddies, Damon Jones, who played with the Calves,

130
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: played with Lebron, played against Lebron uh in Miami. David

131
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 1: Jones is a good friend of Tyler. And you know

132
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: I've been taking some shots at Tyler online. Is he

133
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: that good of a coach? How do we know? I'm

134
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: just gonna say this, Tyler, I'll give him credit for

135
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: writing his stars. Are you ready for this? Kawhi Leonard

136
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: forty two minutes, Paul George Morris forty two, Jackson thirty eight,

137
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:37,119
Speaker 1: Nick Patum thirty seven. His starting lineup played heavy minutes.

138
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:41,239
Speaker 1: They couldn't lose a game. Now they have to quickly

139
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: less than forty eight hour turnaround. Remember Kau, I don't

140
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: like to do back to backs. He's played heavy minutes

141
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: in this series. Paul George, by the way, played the

142
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: final thirty six minutes last night. Didn't come out. If

143
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 1: you were watching, you know, like me NERD Friday night,

144
00:07:55,440 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: you're staying in. Um, Luca did not start the fourth quarter. Um.

145
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 1: I look at the court, I'm like, no Luca, no Porzingis.

146
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: And We'll get to Porzingis in a second, and I'm like,

147
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: what the hell is Rick Carlisle doing? And what happened?

148
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 1: Clippers score six straight points, take the lead, and they

149
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 1: had to put Luca back in instantly, like the MAVs

150
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 1: bench like, you can't not put Porzingis out there. I

151
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: know he's been pretty bad in the series, and he

152
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: was awful last night. By the way, you guys know,

153
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 1: I'm a gambling I'm the gambling guy of Fox. They

154
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: have been doing nightly NBA bets. I'm not doing as

155
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 1: well as I did in the bubble, but I had

156
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 1: under points, rebounds and assists for Porzingis last night, and

157
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: I noticed benched for the first like six minutes of

158
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. He didn't. Porzingis did nothing, took like

159
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 1: six shots. Seems bad, but you have to at least

160
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: he's a threat, right. You can get the ball to him,

161
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: he can do something with it, draw foul, get to

162
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 1: the line. You gotta have Porzingis out there. And it

163
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,319
Speaker 1: felt like that's when they lost the game. Now, of

164
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 1: course they ended up tying it up. I think they

165
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 1: took a two point lead, but the momentum swung to

166
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,439
Speaker 1: the Clippers, and Paul George was a center of that.

167
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 1: Give him credit, but this series is unbelievable. We will

168
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 1: have a former MAVs player in the final hour on

169
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 1: to talk about Game seven. I've been saying this all week, Guys,

170
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: every time you want to trust the Clippers, they let

171
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: you down. Clippers down. Oh two, they're toast. They went

172
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: too straight. Okay, Clippers got this. They lose Game five,

173
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: Clippers are done. Man, they win Game six, what's the vibe.

174
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 1: They're going home, They're gonna be fine or big spot.

175
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: They're probably tired. I can't trust him. While speaking of tired,

176
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 1: I've got a number. See this is why the data

177
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 1: is important. It's really helped me get ahead here in

178
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: the last few years in all my jobs. Trust the numbers.

179
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 1: Luca done in the fourth quarter is shooting eight of

180
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 1: thirty one. He's tired, He's doing everything. I called him

181
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 1: the best player in the NBA this week, and I

182
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 1: know that's insane because he hasn't won a playoff series yet.

183
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 1: Find me a player that makes everyone else around him

184
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 1: better right now, at this age, you can't. It's not

185
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: Lebron anymore. We saw with Lebron start to fade. He's

186
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: thirty six. Of course he's gonna get all. I'm not

187
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,680
Speaker 1: saying he's done. I'm not saying he's washed it. He

188
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: was like the m v P leader this year before

189
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: the injury. The injury coupled with the Anthony Davis thing.

190
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:30,200
Speaker 1: It wasn't Lebron. He's gonna be thirty seven in December. Like,

191
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 1: let's relax. Lucas twenty two makes everyone better. Can score

192
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: with almost anybody in the NBA. Kevin Durant is incredible.

193
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: Is he the best scorer in the NBA? Probably is Kauai?

194
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 1: Probably the best two way talent. I said talent, but

195
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 1: Kauai doesn't necessarily make those around and better. He's not

196
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:57,839
Speaker 1: a leader, and people get confused when I say this. Yes,

197
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: Kauai is a number one, but he's not a leader.

198
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 1: And that's not a knock. There's a reason the Clippers

199
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 1: brought in re Gen Rondo, Folks, so somebody in the

200
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 1: huddle can speak up and be a leader. Because that's

201
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 1: not Kauie. It's not in his DNA. It's not the

202
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 1: end of the world that he doesn't do that. It's

203
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: just not how we operates. Luca obvious leader. I have

204
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 1: a question about the Nets now. The Nets play the

205
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:27,479
Speaker 1: Bucks today in a game I'm a little bit confused

206
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 1: on because, folks, I kind of like Milwaukee in this series.

207
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 1: I know I did not like them against the Heat. Jason,

208
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 1: you're flip flopping like a politician. Get your act together. No, no, no,

209
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 1: no no. When you get new information, you better be

210
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 1: ready to make a new assessment. And I saw the

211
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 1: Bucks dismember the Miami Heat in the first round. I mean,

212
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 1: they took them apart. It was disgusting. Big changes from Bootenholzer.

213
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 1: I was proud we bass bootenholes over the last couple

214
00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 1: of years. Guys, because the playoff chokes. He made Justine

215
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: stew He added Drew Holiday, which is very nice, and

216
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: Drew Holiday. I know I've called him a one time

217
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 1: all start. That is a factual statement. He was outstanding defensively.

218
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: He was good offensively when they needed him to be.

219
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 1: Middleton stepped up. Janice looks like a different guy offensively

220
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: because he has to initiate less offense. I think the

221
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 1: Bucks can hang with them, and I think they're obviously

222
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 1: the better team here. Defensively. Bucks are first in the

223
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 1: league defensively for two straight years. They fell a little

224
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: bit too. I think I believe eight this year. But

225
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 1: the Nets are nothing great defensively. I mean the Celtics

226
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 1: with Jason Tatum and Keba Walker's out, Jalen Brown's out,

227
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 1: they started Romeo Lankford and they were still getting a

228
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:44,439
Speaker 1: hundred twenty points on the nets. Like, I think the

229
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: Bucks can match them in this series. And Folks, I

230
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: don't want to get too excited here, but this Tray

231
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 1: Young situation in Atlanta is spicy. Spicy. Trey Young is Wow.

232
00:12:58,200 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: This guy can take a lot of threes and make

233
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:01,439
Speaker 1: a lot of shots and score a bunch of points,

234
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 1: but can be a leader? Can he maybe uh, make

235
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,680
Speaker 1: those around him better, and he's definitely done that under

236
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: Nate with Bilan, I mean Trey Young and the Hawks,

237
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 1: I'll tell you right now, I believe they will beat

238
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 1: the Sixers. If Joel Embiad is not Joel Embiad and

239
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: this right, Menisca's tear ain't good news. I do not

240
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 1: feel good about the Sixers. Sorry, Philly fans, I know

241
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 1: you love me. Um. If if the Meniscus ain't right,

242
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 1: Sixers are probably going home. I do want to quickly

243
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:35,199
Speaker 1: wrap up the opening segment with this. Ryan told me

244
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 1: before the show. Damian Lillard has endorsed Jason Kidd as

245
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: the guy he wants is the next coach of the

246
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 1: Portland Blazers. Somebody sent me a text overnight and again,

247
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna read it. Please. I'm not saying this,

248
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 1: but someone said this about the Portland Trailblazers candidates. I'm

249
00:13:57,559 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 1: not gonna line up the names with the statement, but

250
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 1: Jason kidds one of them, Chauncey Billips is the other,

251
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 1: and um, I forgot who the other guy was, but um,

252
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 1: someone texted me the Blazers are choosing between a drunk

253
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: a domestic violence abuser and an alleged rapist? Is that

254
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 1: really what the situation is in Portland. I I don't

255
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 1: know this Chauncey Billips situation. I guess it's starting to

256
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 1: bubble up online as he tries to get a job. Um,

257
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 1: but like Portland fired stops yesterday after a great run

258
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 1: and listen, all good things come to an end. That's life.

259
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 1: Terry Starts had an awesome run. He was in the

260
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 1: playoffs like eighth straight years. He made a run to

261
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 1: the conference finals. He got maximum effort out of those guys.

262
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 1: He's great. Time for a new coach. Well, what do

263
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 1: you have to do? You want to keep Dame, you

264
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 1: gotta build around him. You gotta get a new coach.

265
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 1: Big thing changes coming in Portland apparently so. Um. I

266
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: don't know if Jason Kid's going to get the job,

267
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: but it sounds like things are headed that way. And

268
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 1: if Damian what Damian Lillard wants, he's gonna get may

269
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 1: not be best for the team, but we'll see all

270
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 1: right coming up next year. On Fox Sports Radio, it

271
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 1: started to feel like the changing of the guard in

272
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 1: the NBA. Right the Lakers, the defending champs, They're out

273
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 1: the Clippers are on life support in game seven. Have

274
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 1: you looked at the other contenders in the West. I mean,

275
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 1: the Brooklyn Nets haven't been in the finals in what

276
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 1: fifteen years? Things are getting crazy in the NBA. Is

277
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 1: that good for the sport? We'll talk about that next

278
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 1: year on Fox Sports Radio. Back here on Fox Sports Radio.

279
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 1: I'm sure some of you saw the little story about

280
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 1: me in Sports Business Journal about buying into a soccer team.

281
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 1: We will talk about that later. I don't think anybody

282
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 1: really cares. It's on my Instagram if you want to

283
00:15:56,680 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 1: check it out. But fun times, certainly in cassa Day McIntyre. Um,

284
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: you know, listen, we're coming out of a crappy er guys. Uh,

285
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 1: COVID seems to be winding down. I just saw some

286
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 1: really really positive things, um in a newsletter about how,

287
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 1: you know, COVID starting to finally go away, vaccinations up,

288
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. Like, let's start to live our lives again,

289
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 1: Let's start to have some fun. You know that most

290
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 1: of the last year was was difficult. Uh, It's time

291
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: to enjoy life. Um, go get out there. Um. You know,

292
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 1: as much as I love the NBA, I gotta be honest,

293
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: Lebron and the Lakers are out now, and it's like,

294
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 1: all right, am my scheduling my Tuesday night around Son's Nuggets.

295
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 1: Yokich is incredible. By the way, Yokich is probably in

296
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 1: that best player in the League discussion. I forgot about him.

297
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 1: He's gonna win the m v P this year. He's

298
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 1: really good. He just murdered the Portland Trailblazers last round

299
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 1: a game six. Unbelieve it cost me some money. I

300
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 1: really thought Portland would come through. Um, but Yokich is

301
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 1: awesome and um as much as I like Yoki and

302
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 1: uh DeAndre Ayton should play him well, I think the

303
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:10,199
Speaker 1: Sons win that series pretty handily. The Sons are just

304
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 1: way better than Portland. Again, this Sun's team is fifty

305
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 1: wins this year. Only two teams got to fifty in

306
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:21,439
Speaker 1: the condensed season, the Jazz and the Suns. Like I

307
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:26,159
Speaker 1: saw this bashing of Lebron and oh, Lebron lost to

308
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:31,440
Speaker 1: the Phoenix Suns. Oh my gosh, settle down. There is

309
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 1: a really, really good Son's team. Just because they hadn't

310
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 1: been in the playoffs and forever, it doesn't mean this

311
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 1: version this year was not good. Awesome team man. Devin Booker,

312
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:43,360
Speaker 1: or as the young people call him, d book which

313
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 1: is a pretty damn cool nickname. I always thought J

314
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 1: Mack was a good nickname. Um, you know, Jason McIntyre,

315
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:53,399
Speaker 1: Big Max were like a thing when I was growing up,

316
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 1: the MC thank you McDonald's, and um, I just kind

317
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 1: of got called J Mack, which was money. Um cool,

318
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 1: fun nicknames sounds great. Even guys I barely know now

319
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 1: call me that. I was playing soccer because you guys,

320
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:13,919
Speaker 1: remember two years ago I was in his dad's soccer tournament.

321
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 1: We won the championship. It was amazing, and the soccer

322
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 1: tournament's coming back, So I gotta start playing soccer again.

323
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 1: So I go out to play soccer, uh Wednesday, I

324
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 1: think it was Wednesday night. And you know, again, I

325
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 1: don't have the skills that I used to have. I'm

326
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: just relying on speed and being in shape, and a

327
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 1: lot of other guys are not. And I'm on the

328
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:36,959
Speaker 1: field and this this young kid. I'm like, dude, how

329
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 1: old are you? What are you doing out here? Is twenty?

330
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my gosh, I don't want to

331
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 1: be caught near this guy. He's gonna blow by me,

332
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,119
Speaker 1: and of course he's super skilled, and he goes, you

333
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 1: look kind of familiar. Where do I know you from?

334
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 1: I just kind of like, you know, went about playing soccer,

335
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 1: didn't say anything. So then later on I get matched

336
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 1: up with him and I kind of make him. I

337
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 1: forced him to pass. You know, he's trying to go

338
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 1: all these moves and I'm not biting, you know, just

339
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 1: in basketball, how Michael Jordan said, you reach. I teach

340
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 1: these young guys with the skills. I don't try to

341
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 1: take the ball from them. I just try to corner

342
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 1: them in as the rest of the defense gets set.

343
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 1: And our guy, my forced my guy to pass. So

344
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 1: he's like, you just look so familiar. And again, you

345
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 1: know in soccer there's a lot of like walking around,

346
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 1: uh to catch your breath. And I was like, yeah,

347
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,879
Speaker 1: you know, I I'm I do TVs and radio. And

348
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 1: he's like, oh, j Mac, I didn't know this guy

349
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 1: at all, never hear he just knows me as that.

350
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 1: So to get back deep book is a really cool

351
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 1: sounding nickname. It's also pretty cool that he's dating Kendall Jenner.

352
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:39,439
Speaker 1: Um we know Kendall Jenner. I mean is she's the

353
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 1: most followed woman on Instagram or something. She's not number one,

354
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: she's top five for sure. And you know she's going

355
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 1: to the games and and raising his profile. I'm sure

356
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 1: Ben Simmons somewhere is not thrilled. Um. That being said,

357
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:56,160
Speaker 1: this Sun seems great now when it comes to playoff ratings.

358
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 1: We know Steph versus Lebron in the play in was massive,

359
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:07,639
Speaker 1: huge ratings. Lakers Sons last Sunday, enormous rating, our Sons

360
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 1: and Nuggets gonna do a rating. And I know this

361
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:11,920
Speaker 1: is the point where everybody says, Jason, stop, who cares?

362
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 1: Why do I care about the ratings? I shouldn't. I don't.

363
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 1: This is stupid. What do you want the same teams

364
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:22,879
Speaker 1: every there there every year. This is why executives care

365
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 1: about the ratings and the players care about the ratings.

366
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:29,920
Speaker 1: So the salary cap went up significantly in the last

367
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:35,680
Speaker 1: ten decades, primarily because of TV ratings that the audience

368
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 1: loved super teams. They loved the Heatles, whether it was

369
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,399
Speaker 1: a hate watch or love, they watched the Heatles. Then

370
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 1: they watched Stephen Durant huge, huge numbers. What do big

371
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 1: ratings mean? You can charge more money for commercials, more revenue.

372
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:55,879
Speaker 1: More revenue equals salary cap goes up, salary cap goes up,

373
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:59,400
Speaker 1: every player makes more money. That's how it works. It's

374
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 1: pretty base. So the NBA is getting ready to negotiate

375
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 1: a new TV deal. What are they gonna see in

376
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 1: the bubble ratings, which we're not really during normal basketball.

377
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 1: You know, basketball ends in June when there's no competition.

378
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 1: Usually ratings are good. Lebron versus Curry awesome. Bubble ratings

379
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 1: not great because the finals were in what October, November,

380
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:30,159
Speaker 1: like it's football season. Now you don't have the Lakers

381
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,880
Speaker 1: with Lebron, you don't have Steph Curry, and I don't

382
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 1: know what's gonna happen in the East. You know, the Nets.

383
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 1: They gotta hope for the Nets. Brooklyn part of the

384
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:40,959
Speaker 1: big TV market. I know the Knicks are the big

385
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:44,640
Speaker 1: draw there, but nevertheless, league's hoping for the Nets. If

386
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 1: ratings are poor back to back years, Lebron easing into

387
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 1: his thirties, a thirty seven in December, the league is

388
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:55,360
Speaker 1: probably gonna have to negotiate a lesser TV deal. I'm

389
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:58,120
Speaker 1: sure they don't try their hardest not to go down much,

390
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 1: and that means the salary cap goes down a little

391
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,160
Speaker 1: bit and the players make less, and the players making

392
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 1: less equals they're not happy and maybe tougher to build

393
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,159
Speaker 1: a contender. So the league and the players care. That's

394
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 1: the only reason you should Coming up next year on

395
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:14,880
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio, we're bringing our first guest of the show.

396

397
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:20,679
Speaker 1: the first segment, who I like in this series? But

398
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 1: do they actually have a chance against the Nets to

399
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 1: our favorite to win the title? That's next, but first

400
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,159
Speaker 1: go to Isaac loewen Kron with what's happening in sports?

401
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:35,439
Speaker 1: Good Morning Jayson whoa, whoa? Excuse me? Good morning J Mack. Sorry,

402
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 1: but I like how he listens to the show, Isaac.

403
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 1: Good stuff. We start in the NBA J J. Mack,

404
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 1: where on Friday night, Kawhi Leonard dropped forty five in

405
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,919
Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Flippers what oh four to nineties victory

406
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 1: at Dallas. That series tied at three games apiece. Off

407
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 1: the court Friday night, the Portland's Trailblazers and head coach

408
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 1: Terry Stotts mutually agreed to part ways after nine seasons.

409
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 1: Blazers starred Damian Lillard then told Chris Haynes of Yahoo

410
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 1: Sports on Friday Night, the Lakers assistant Jason Kidd quote

411
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:10,119
Speaker 1: is the guy I want unquote to succeed Stots in

412
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 1: the Stanley Cup playoffs. On Friday night, the Montreal Canadians

413
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 1: wanted Winnipeg one nothing to take a two games to

414
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:18,479
Speaker 1: non lead. The Vegas Golden Night scored the time goals

415
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:21,120
Speaker 1: and winning goals at a forty five second span later

416
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 1: the third period for a three to victory over the

417
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 1: Colorado Avalanche. For Colorado still leads the series two games

418
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 1: to one. Finally, an item out of the National Football

419
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:34,679
Speaker 1: League where TMZ reports the Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel

420
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 1: Elliott is being sued after his rottweiler allegedly attacked a

421
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:45,680
Speaker 1: caretaker at a pet boarding facility called Bliss Pet Spa.

422
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 1: Elliott's attorney told TMZ quote Mr Elliott was very surprised

423
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:54,160
Speaker 1: to learn of the complaint, particularly given that Bliss pet

424
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:57,200
Speaker 1: Spa indicated at the time of the incident that this

425
00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:02,679
Speaker 1: was not uncommon and was being hand gold understandard SPAT protocol.

426
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 1: Mr Elliott will address this matter accordingly. Unquote. Boy, nobody

427
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 1: brings it like Isaac. Good stuff, dude. Al Right back

428
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:13,120
Speaker 1: here on Fox Sports Radio, it's me Jason McIntyre. Let's

429
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,680
Speaker 1: get to our first guest. He covers a Bucks for

430
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:19,160
Speaker 1: the athletic Eric name in the building, Eric, what's up man?

431
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 1: Not much, just getting ready for some some more fun

432
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 1: playoff basketball. Yeah. I gotta say I was down on

433
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 1: the Bucks heading into this postseason. Like an idiot. I

434
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 1: picked the Heat, very very very bad decision on my part,

435
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,919
Speaker 1: But I was so impressed with the sweep. I'm now overreacting, Eric,

436
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 1: and I think I like the Bucks in this series

437
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 1: based on some of the matchups. Now, I've looked around

438
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:45,359
Speaker 1: the internet, Eric, Basically everybody's picking the Nets here, right. Yeah,

439
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 1: for the most part, I think when you look at

440
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 1: this next team, you're just gonna see that big three,

441
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:53,159
Speaker 1: and it's going to be a struggle to try to

442
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:57,199
Speaker 1: figure out, Okay, how could the Bucks actually compete with that?

443
00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 1: How do you kind of deal with that in in

444
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,199
Speaker 1: the post reason and you know it's it's going to

445
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:05,360
Speaker 1: be really interesting to watch. But when you look around

446
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,160
Speaker 1: kind of the defensive personnel that the Bucks have and

447
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 1: kind of what they're able to do against the Heat,

448
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 1: all of a sudden. I mean, if you're never going

449
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:16,919
Speaker 1: to stop those three, you're never gonna stop Durant, Irving

450
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 1: and Hardened. But you you look at their matchups and

451
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:24,440
Speaker 1: you say, okay, well, you could put Janice on Durant,

452
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 1: and you could put Middleton on Harden, and you could

453
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,119
Speaker 1: put Holiday on Irving and it works pretty well. And

454
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:33,200
Speaker 1: then you think, okay, well you can bring in p J. Tucker.

455
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 1: But you think Middleton on on Harden is a good idea.

456
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think anyone on James What wouldn't

457
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 1: Holiday more likely be the guy to guard Harden because

458
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 1: Harden initiates so much offense. But yeah, I mean yeah,

459
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 1: I think it's it's tough, right because no matter what,

460
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 1: you're going to get to a spot where one of

461
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:59,640
Speaker 1: those guys is going to have the favorable matchup, right,

462
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 1: So I think you might be right and saying, hey,

463
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 1: you know, make it be Kyrie Irving and make Kyrie

464
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 1: Irving score thirty five every single night. So I think

465
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 1: there's a number of different ways that you can try

466
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:13,919
Speaker 1: to like split this up, but no matter what, you're

467
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 1: gonna get to a spot where it's probably like a

468
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:19,399
Speaker 1: little bit awkward. But I can see the idea behind Okay,

469
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:21,159
Speaker 1: make it be Irving, that's the one to beat you

470
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:23,719
Speaker 1: rather than than James Harden. So I have no problems

471
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 1: with that idea that that's that would be my strategy,

472
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 1: eric Um. But I do have to ask we saw

473
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 1: a lot of Brook Lopez in the opening round that

474
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 1: strictly because of matchups, is your guest. We will see

475
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 1: far more PJ. Tucker combined with Janice in this one

476
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:43,120
Speaker 1: to match the net small ball. You know, yesterday Drew

477
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,360
Speaker 1: Holiday talked a little bit to the media and it

478
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 1: had said that you know, they're really gonna misson to Devencenzo,

479
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 1: but they have a guy like p J. Tucker that

480
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 1: can step into the starting lineup. That would be quite

481
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 1: a change. We have not seen them start p J tuckers,

482
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be interesting to see what happens once

483
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 1: we get to tip off, because if they decided to

484
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:05,199
Speaker 1: start that way, then all of a sudden, you you

485
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 1: go through that game we just played all over again, right,

486
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 1: and then it's like, okay, well, you know PJA Tucker

487
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,680
Speaker 1: on Durant and then you know, you can go Holiday

488
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 1: on Harden and you can kind of move these things

489
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 1: all around, and and I think that's really where it

490
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 1: gets interesting is t J. Tucker allows for a versatility

491
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 1: that they just haven't had in previous years. So I

492
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 1: think we will see quite a bit of p J. Tucker.

493
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 1: But the Bucks all year long, I've kind of talked

494
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 1: about just how important brook Lopez is to everything that

495
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 1: they do. That you know, everything that they do is

496
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 1: built around the idea that they have this seven ft

497
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:44,400
Speaker 1: pound mountain standing at the rim, and if you're going

498
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 1: to try to finish, you're gonna have to do it

499
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 1: over the top of him. You're gonna have to find

500
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:50,880
Speaker 1: a way to get through that mountain. So I don't

501
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:53,120
Speaker 1: think this is a spot where we just see them

502
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 1: totally disregard uh brook Lopez. But I do think the

503
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 1: Nets are better then man just about any other team

504
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:05,920
Speaker 1: in the league in running enough picking rolls to get

505
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:10,359
Speaker 1: to a spot where the one guy you have concerned

506
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 1: about on the floor has to cover hardener and and

507
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 1: in that moment you gotta think like, Okay, do we

508
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 1: really want brook Lopez out on the floor. So they're

509
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:21,879
Speaker 1: gonna do everything they can take advantage of it. But

510
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 1: the Bucks, all you go along It's done everything they

511
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:25,440
Speaker 1: can to keep brook Lopez on before just because of

512
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 1: so much of what he does defensively. Yeah, I mean,

513
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,719
Speaker 1: I know he's good defensively. I just you know, if

514
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 1: they put duranted center and like Bruce Brown in the

515
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:36,919
Speaker 1: dunker spot, and then you have Harris Pardon and Kyrie, like,

516
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 1: I just I don't know how he's playable. But the

517
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 1: the one guy I'm curious about his Brent Forbes. Okay,

518
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 1: uh has played on some good Spurs teams in the

519
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 1: Popovich system, played out of his mind the final three

520
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 1: games against the Heat. How is he defensively because I

521
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 1: have a feeling he might be matched up a lot

522
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 1: with Kyrie Irvin. Yeah. I think the big thing with

523
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 1: Forbes is that he he's really strong, which which is

524
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 1: nice when he has to kind of go up the ladders,

525
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 1: like in a moment where say he has to cover

526
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 1: like Jimmy Butler. That was okay because he was strong

527
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 1: enough not to get bullied. But I don't know what

528
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 1: his foot speed is going to be quite good enough

529
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 1: to really deal with a guy like Kyrie Irving. And

530
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 1: you know I asked him about it the other day.

531
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 1: I mean, the pretty much just said that. I was like, hey, Bron,

532
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 1: like everyone in the league knows that he's been suited,

533
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 1: but the question for you has always been if you

534
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 1: can defend, the nets are going to target you, you know,

535
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 1: kind of what do you think about? And He's like,

536
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 1: this is what I want, Like I want to prove

537
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 1: that I can do these things, and I want to

538
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 1: prove that I can do it in the biggest moments

539
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 1: against the best players. So it sounds like he really

540
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 1: looks he's looking forward to that, but there is no

541
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 1: doubt that the Nets are going to target him every

542
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 1: time he is on the floor. I would just I

543
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 1: would you know again, I'm just speaking here. I would

544
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 1: concede whatever Kyrie Irving wants. If he wants to attack

545
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 1: every time and take Hard and Durant out of the play,

546
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 1: go for it. I think Kyrie can lose you a game.

547
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 1: I would rather not have James Harden win it for you. Uh, Eric,

548
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 1: let me ask one question. We've seen buddenholes are struggle

549
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 1: in the postseason. They went up to oh on the

550
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 1: Raptors and then lost four straight. Um, they really got

551
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 1: he got coached out coached pretty badly by Spoister last

552
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 1: year uh Is Drew Holiday. The real reason that they

553
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 1: look and appears so much different this year is that

554
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 1: the one big difference, you know, against the Heat, they

555
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 1: did a totally different strategy than they had done last

556
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 1: year where they were willing to put Janice on Jimmy

557
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 1: Butler and and I think to me, that is one

558
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 1: way that we've seen but grow as a coach is

559
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 1: that last year, no matter what, Janice was going to

560
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,360
Speaker 1: be a help defender. He wasn't going to be the

561
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 1: guy on the guy. He was going to be on

562
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 1: the backs that helping. And you know, I remember during

563
00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 1: the series, I asked him he took the ball out

564
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 1: of of the of the net six straight times? Is

565
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler rained down shots on them in one of

566
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 1: those games last year? And I asked him. I was like,

567
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 1: did you ask to cover him at any point? Like

568
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 1: you you took the ball out of the basket. That

569
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 1: had to be infuriating. And He's like no, Like why

570
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 1: would I ask that? You know what our scheme is

571
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 1: like you know that I'm going to be the health defender,

572
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 1: And this year it was, hey, you've got Jimmy Butler

573
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 1: And when they played the net's the last time that

574
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 1: they played this season, Hey, you got Kevin Durant. To me,

575
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 1: that's a big moment of growth there, but that he's

576
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 1: willing to deviate from all of that. But to your point,

577
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 1: Drew Holiday makes it a whole lot easier to do

578
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 1: all of those things right. Like, Drew Holiday is so

579
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 1: insanely talented that you know, it's kind of crazy to

580
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 1: me that when the Bucks firrst traded for him, I

581
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 1: have people asked me, you know, is he that there

582
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 1: has been upgrade over Eric? Whatso? And you know, I

583
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 1: was losing my mind at the time trying to tell people, yes,

584
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 1: yes he is. He's undeniably your huge upgrade. But he

585
00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 1: it's really played out over the length of the season

586
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 1: and then in here in the postseason through Holiday is

587
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 1: just a monster upgrade for this Bucks team. All right, Eric,

588
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:05,959
Speaker 1: I'll get you out of here with this. Um. You know,

589
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 1: the di Vincenzo injury is kind of a big deal.

590
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 1: But Jeff Green, uh, you know, Steve Nash used to

591
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 1: live in my area before he just went to Brooklyn,

592
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 1: And you know, he's told a bunch of people that

593
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 1: his favorite player on the team is Jeff Green. He's

594
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 1: a grown up. He knows what to do, goes about

595
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 1: his business. He's always reliable. He's going to make that

596
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 1: extra pass. The hockey assist Jeff Green is injured and

597
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 1: we don't know when he's coming back. Do you think

598
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 1: the Bucks can take advantage of this because it's not

599
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:37,720
Speaker 1: like the Nets have a deep bench. Yeah. I mean,

600
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 1: going into this series, or I guess I shouldn't say

601
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 1: going into it imagining it a month ago, I was

602
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 1: thinking Jeff Green was the type of guy that could

603
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 1: really hurt the Bucks. You know, often in these postseasons,

604
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 1: Bucks have been hurt by guys that that aren't necessarily

605
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:53,720
Speaker 1: At the start against the Raptors Treat Band, we'd had

606
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 1: a huge series kind of before he broke out into

607
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 1: being a star. Uh you know last year at Jay

608
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 1: Crowder had a huge series of them when they played

609
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 1: the Heat and Jeff Green kind of scenes like that

610
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 1: type of guy. He seemed like the type of guy

611
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 1: that that could really hurt the Bucks, just because of

612
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 1: all those things you said. He's smart, he knows the

613
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 1: gaps are playing, he knows how to get himself open,

614
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 1: he can hit threes, he can defend a little bit.

615
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 1: So I really do think it's going to be Uh,

616
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 1: you know, one of the things we're talking about if

617
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 1: the Athletic was you know, which injury is bigger? Is

618
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 1: it Stevencenzo or Green? They're both supporting characters, but they're

619
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 1: both really important in those supporting roles. So yeah, I

620
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:33,239
Speaker 1: think the Green injury could play a big part. And

621
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 1: obviously part of that is going to be you know,

622
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 1: Kim Brook Lopez down the floor if he can, can

623
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 1: he hurt them down low? You know? Are they able

624
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 1: to use their guards a little bit more? Do they

625
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 1: have enough size to take advantage of the bucks guys

626
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 1: like Forbes off the bench if they want to go small?

627
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 1: So I do think there is a real opportunity to

628
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 1: take advantage with Jeff Greeno alright's Eric name. You can

629
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 1: follow him on Twitter at Eric underscore an e h M.

630
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 1: He covers the books for The Athletic. I'll be reading

631
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 1: your stuff, Eric. Enjoy the series. I will appreciate it. Alright, Uh,

632
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 1: interesting stuff from Eric there. I would be stunned if

633
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:12,479
Speaker 1: they put Middleton on Harden. I mean Middleton, you can't

634
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:15,239
Speaker 1: have him chasing around hard. Although I guess the argument is, well,

635
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 1: how much is hard and exactly run. But when he

636
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:20,280
Speaker 1: has the ball, he's impossible to guard. I want Middleton focused.

637
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 1: He might lead them in scoring. Um. In fact, I'm

638
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 1: gonna have to look at some prop bets shortly on this.

639
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 1: I have a feeling today is gonna be just an

640
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 1: offensive orgy um high scoring game. Looks like the totals

641
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:34,920
Speaker 1: ticking up a bit. But we'll do a little more

642
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 1: after that. Coming up next, maybe we'll talk about that

643
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 1: soccer team, my boy, I don't know that's next year.

Speaker 1: So Ryan has us a great guest for the next hour.

654
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 1: I just want to tease this. I gotta plead ignorance.

655
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 1: I don't understand these Paul brothers. One of the Paul

656
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 1: brothers is fighting Floyd Mayweather this weekend in Miami. Now

657
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:34,920
Speaker 1: you know how I joke about the Morris twins. The

658
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:38,080
Speaker 1: Lakers have a Morris twin. The Clippers have a Morris twin.

659
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 1: I joked it, like I don't know the difference between them.

660
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:43,239
Speaker 1: They just each of the teams has one. Seems like

661
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:45,839
Speaker 1: the Clippers. Clippers have the better Morris twin. Right now,

662
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 1: one of the Paul brothers, some guy named Logan Paul

663
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 1: and somebody named Jake Paul. They're brothers. I don't know

664
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 1: if they're twins, Ryan says Ryan, What are they again?

665
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:58,240
Speaker 1: Twins or or no, No, they're They're just brothers. Logan's

666
00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:03,959
Speaker 1: the older one. I believe Logan is a and Jake

667
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:07,239
Speaker 1: is so. Ryan comes from their age brackets, so he's

668
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 1: aware of them. I don't know. Apparently they were a

669
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 1: big deal on YouTube at some point, and now they've

670
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 1: decided they're gonna be boxers, so they beat up some

671
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:17,839
Speaker 1: tomato cans and now one of them is gonna fight

672
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 1: fight Floyd Mayweather. The real story here is that they

673
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:23,799
Speaker 1: are going to make so much freaking money off this

674
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:27,120
Speaker 1: because a bunch of idiots who liked these guys on YouTube.

675
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:28,919
Speaker 1: And I mean by that I mean the logan Paul

676
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 1: and his brother Jake Paul. People are gonna like pay

677
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:33,839
Speaker 1: to see this fight. I just want to point out,

678
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:36,760
Speaker 1: and again we'll talk to our guest next hour. It

679
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:43,920
Speaker 1: is an exhibition, an exhibition. Just remember that there's, like,

680
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:47,799
Speaker 1: you know, no title on the line. This is just

681
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:54,800
Speaker 1: two guys fighting. That's it. That's all. Okay. The last

682
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:59,400
Speaker 1: exhibition I can remember Ivan Drag Out, Ivan Drag Oversus

683
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 1: Apollo Red End didn't disaster Rocky four. Great movie. I

684
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 1: was gonna introduce my kids to it. Um, I still

685
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 1: don't think I'm there. They've seen the good scenes though

686
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:12,840
Speaker 1: I've shown them on YouTube. Um. So yeah, real quick story,

687
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 1: not to come off braggy. I just want to clear

688
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:21,279
Speaker 1: the air on some something. Yes, uh, you know, we

689
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 1: brought into a soccer team in Mexico. It's been brewing

690
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:27,279
Speaker 1: for several months now. Um. The guy who put the

691
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:29,440
Speaker 1: deal together used to work at d C United. I

692
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:32,960
Speaker 1: got to know him when I was in Pennsylvania. Do

693
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:37,960
Speaker 1: you guys remember when Tim Tebow and Urban Meyer decided

694
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 1: to join forces. Recently in Jacksonville, and I said, it's

695
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 1: not what you know, it's who you know. So the

696
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:50,080
Speaker 1: roundabout way, I don't know how much time we have here.

697
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 1: How much time do we have? Three minutes? Okay? So um.

698
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:56,920
Speaker 1: I was going to the gym in Pennsylvania when we

699
00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:59,879
Speaker 1: moved from Brooklyn, and I see this big white guy

700
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 1: playing basketball and he's just awesome. And I'm like, man,

701
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:05,240
Speaker 1: who is this guy? You know? Tatted up dunking threes?

702
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 1: So of course I play basketball a lot. I finally

703
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:09,800
Speaker 1: meet the guy. I found out he's an international basketball

704
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 1: player and he's a good story and you know, nice guy.

705
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:16,319
Speaker 1: Hes an American but plays internationally. He had like a

706
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:18,800
Speaker 1: couple of coffee with the Grizzlies or someone in summer

707
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:20,920
Speaker 1: League a couple of times. So I said, let me

708
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:22,680
Speaker 1: do a story on you for this website that I

709
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:25,319
Speaker 1: have called The Big Lead. And he's like, yeah, sure,

710
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:26,880
Speaker 1: talk to my agents. So I reach out to his

711
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 1: agent and he's like, whoa Jason McK and I of

712
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 1: course I know you. Oh my gosh, I read The

713
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:35,319
Speaker 1: Big Lead all the time, great media stuff. We got

714
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:38,480
Speaker 1: to be friends quickly. We're about the same age. Were

715
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:42,200
Speaker 1: both like a lot of basketball. And then he's like, Hey,

716
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:46,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be going to a DC United Philadelphia Union

717
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:49,719
Speaker 1: soccer game. Do you want to meet there? I'll get

718
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:51,719
Speaker 1: your passes, you can come meet the owner. I'm like,

719
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 1: of course. So we meet up, hit it off, and

720
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:58,960
Speaker 1: you know, he tells we keep talking and he tells me, hey,

721
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:02,319
Speaker 1: I'm investing in a basketball team in New Zealand and

722
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:05,960
Speaker 1: New Zealand. Breakers Um, it's an opportunity. Would you be interested?

723
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 1: Of course? So then I had to go ask my

724
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 1: wife is that cool? Um? And she's like, well, that

725
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 1: sounds fun. We invested and it went well. And a

726
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:20,959
Speaker 1: few years later, you know, during the pandemic, my guy,

727
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:23,480
Speaker 1: the agent from this basketball player I've seen at the gym,

728
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 1: comes to me and says, hey, we're looking at investing

729
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 1: in a soccer team in Mexico. It's a little bit

730
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:33,560
Speaker 1: of a bigger investment than the basketball team. I said, yes, please,

731
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 1: thank you for thinking of me. Now, I mean what

732
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:37,240
Speaker 1: we're It's not like we didn't talk in the interim.

733
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:39,759
Speaker 1: Like the basketball team from New Zealand came to play

734
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 1: the Memphis Chrizzis, I flew to Memphis just to hang

735
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:44,800
Speaker 1: out with him and the coach and the other owners,

736
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 1: and you know, you put in the effort and your

737
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 1: friends with these guys, you get to know them, and

738
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 1: then when a big deal comes up, do you want

739
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 1: to be included? And like, relationships really matter, guys, like significantly.

740
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:02,239
Speaker 1: Just don't be a jerk. I was gonna say another word,

00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 1: but I forgot I'm on the radio. I can't say

Speaker 1: that word. But you know what what the word is,

743
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:10,400
Speaker 1: Just don't be that. Like, nobody wants to hang with

744
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:12,600
Speaker 1: people who are like that. They don't want to include

745
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 1: you in deals. They just don't wanna be tight with you. Yeah,

746
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:21,640

Speaker 1: shows often due June, by the way, a great, great

769
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:40,839
Speaker 1: month historically. Um, you know, the end of the school year,

770
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:46,040
Speaker 1: the beginning of summer, Memorial Day weekend kicks off summer. Um,

771
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:50,759
Speaker 1: usually the NBA Finals. What else happens in June? Um,

Speaker 1: it's just oh, my mom's birthday, you know, shout out

Speaker 1: to my mom, Happy birthday. Um. Yeah, like June just

774
00:41:57,640 --> 00:41:59,919
Speaker 1: is a great time. It's just you feel like an

775
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:02,799
Speaker 1: extra energy and excitement that you just don't quite have

776
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:06,560
Speaker 1: in February and March. You know, it's like a June

777
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:10,799
Speaker 1: is here summer now. This time last year, we had

778
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:14,920
Speaker 1: just canceled our impending trip to Italy because of that

779
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:17,800
Speaker 1: wretched COVID. We're not going to be going back to

780
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 1: uh to Europe, I mean not back to but we

781
00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:24,279
Speaker 1: will not be rescheduling that for at least another year. Um,

782
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:26,520
Speaker 1: but we do have a trip coming up. Very excited.

783
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:29,880
Speaker 1: I've still yet to get on a plane since COVID started,

784
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:32,239
Speaker 1: By the way, I would saying, Ryan, have either of

785
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:36,279
Speaker 1: you been on a flight since COVID began? No? No,

786
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 1: I have not, No neither. Yeah, we're not weirdo is.

787
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:41,799
Speaker 1: It's just there hasn't really been an opportunity. I will

788
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:46,720
Speaker 1: be very soon, um, but still there's still no flights yet. Um.

789
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:48,560
Speaker 1: I did go to a Laker game recently. I went

790
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:52,839
Speaker 1: to Game three Lakers and Sons. That was the game

791
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:54,480
Speaker 1: where it was all like the beginning of the end

792
00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:59,319
Speaker 1: for the Lakers. Um. Now, the only weird part, and

793
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:01,160
Speaker 1: again not that weird. I guess you have to wear

794
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:03,800
Speaker 1: a mask the whole time, although it does appear in Dallas.

795
00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:05,520
Speaker 1: If you're a fan, you have to wear a mask

796
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:07,440
Speaker 1: the whole time. At least that's what it looked like

797
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:10,160
Speaker 1: to me last night on the telecast. But you know,

798
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 1: a buddy has season tickets and we were in the

799
00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:15,960
Speaker 1: vaccinated section, still had to wear a mask. The weirder

800
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:20,480
Speaker 1: than that you can't bring food or drink to your seat.

801
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:26,440
Speaker 1: It's Staples. And the other part is, oh, well, Jay,

802
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 1: are they really chip monitoring masks? Yeah. Ushers basically will

803
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:31,880
Speaker 1: come up and say, hey, could you pull your mask up?

804
00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:34,040
Speaker 1: Or I actually saw there was a girl in front

805
00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:35,520
Speaker 1: of us who clearly as soon as she got to

806
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:40,680
Speaker 1: her seat taking a million selfies, you know, um, starts

807
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:42,759
Speaker 1: to pull her mass down and like keep it off.

808
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:45,480
Speaker 1: And I personally don't care. She was moderately attractive, so

809
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:48,640
Speaker 1: I did notice, Um what does that mean? I would say,

810
00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:51,480
Speaker 1: I'm laughing at me. Um. So he comes over and

811
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:53,560
Speaker 1: he's like, hey, could you wear your mask correctly? Because

812
00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:55,759
Speaker 1: she had it like under the nose, and I was like,

813
00:43:55,880 --> 00:44:00,399
Speaker 1: damn mask police out in Staples. Um. The game was great,

814
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:03,520
Speaker 1: but of course the Lakers, you know, lebron dominates. That's

815
00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:06,480
Speaker 1: the game where Lebron was really owning Jake Crowder, and

816
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:08,840
Speaker 1: the whole bench stood up and was like Andre Drummond

817
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:11,160
Speaker 1: and all these guys were mimicking Lebron's move and it

818
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:15,200
Speaker 1: was incredible. Arena erupted. That was the beginning of the

819
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 1: end because in game four and and nobody who watched

820
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:22,279
Speaker 1: Lakers Sons after Game three said the Sons have a

821
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:24,640
Speaker 1: chance as this series. Nobody the Lakers are one game

822
00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:27,239
Speaker 1: two on the road. They pretty much owned Game three.

823
00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:30,279
Speaker 1: In the second half. Anthony Davis had thirty four point

824
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:33,720
Speaker 1: games back to back. It was like, all right, Lakers

825
00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:38,120
Speaker 1: got this, It's over Lakers in five. And then Anthony

826
00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:40,680
Speaker 1: Davis gets hurt, and it's I mean, the floodgates open.

827
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:46,719
Speaker 1: It was Devin Booker. It was uh campaign, Cameron Pain.

828
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:48,520
Speaker 1: I don't why, I don't know why we call him campaign,

829
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:52,480
Speaker 1: but Cameron Pain coming off the bench, just destroying the Lakers.

830
00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:56,640
Speaker 1: And this is what really hurt. Jake Crowder, the guy

831
00:44:56,760 --> 00:45:02,920
Speaker 1: Lebron owned and clowned in game three, made six threes

832
00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:06,520
Speaker 1: in game six. Okay, are you ready for this? Kyle

833
00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:10,960
Speaker 1: Kuzma was four for three on three pointers in Game six,

834
00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:16,000
Speaker 1: when a role player on the Suns makes more threes

835
00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:23,080
Speaker 1: in one game, then you're fourth best player makes in

836
00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:25,960
Speaker 1: the entire series. It's game over. It's a good night now.

837
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:29,640
Speaker 1: Jake Crowder has proceeded to go on Instagram and just

838
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:33,280
Speaker 1: totally troll Lebron and listen, Lebron has worked him over

839
00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:38,080
Speaker 1: many times when Crowder was in Boston, when where else

840
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:40,279
Speaker 1: was Crowder was somewhere else, and I remember Lebron got

841
00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:41,840
Speaker 1: the better of him. I mean, he basically has always

842
00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:44,320
Speaker 1: dominated this guy, and Jay Crowder got the better of

843
00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:48,799
Speaker 1: him here because Anthony Davis got hurt. And that's why

844
00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:55,319
Speaker 1: all these meatballs yelling Lebron. He's just he's not as

845
00:45:55,360 --> 00:46:01,440
Speaker 1: good as Jordan's. This kills his legacy, like how Lebron

846
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:04,680
Speaker 1: had played two hundred and sixty five I believe two

847
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:11,319
Speaker 1: career playoff games before Game six. Losing a game at

848
00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:17,680
Speaker 1: age thirty six without your number two player is by

849
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:23,640
Speaker 1: no means a ding on Lebron's legacy. His legacy is set.

850
00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:27,920
Speaker 1: He is playing with what they call house money. I

851
00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:30,480
Speaker 1: have a buddy, well he's not really a buddy, A

852
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:33,840
Speaker 1: guy I used to play pick up basketball with in Pennsylvania,

853
00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:36,080
Speaker 1: and you know, like he he likes that I do

854
00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:37,840
Speaker 1: a lot of sports talk, so he you know, we

855
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:40,319
Speaker 1: text and all he does is just send me these

856
00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:44,480
Speaker 1: memes every day practically how Jordan is better than Lebron

857
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:49,520
Speaker 1: And normally I I don't really have time to respond

858
00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:54,120
Speaker 1: to text from, you know, acquaintances about NBA banter. I'll

859
00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:56,279
Speaker 1: just say, listen, go download straight Fire, listen to it.

860
00:46:56,320 --> 00:46:58,560
Speaker 1: I talked about that crap all the time. Go listen

861
00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:00,040
Speaker 1: to my radio show. Go read what I write for

862
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:04,080
Speaker 1: Fox Sports. Like stop. I don't need this, dude. And

863
00:47:06,120 --> 00:47:09,759
Speaker 1: he tried to say, oh, look at these career averages,

864
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:13,320
Speaker 1: Jordan beats Lebron and everything. I said, what are you doing?

865
00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:19,520
Speaker 1: Why are you cherry picking stats to make your argument

866
00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:26,520
Speaker 1: look better? Lebron has ownership over Jordan's in almost every

867
00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:32,200
Speaker 1: statistical category for two reasons. Number one, Lebron entered the

868
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:37,600
Speaker 1: league out of high school at a ten, and number

869
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:43,919
Speaker 1: two because Michael Jordan's quit twice. He quit. He said,

870
00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:49,239
Speaker 1: I'm done, I'm gonna go play baseball. But we all

871
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:51,480
Speaker 1: know the reality if you watch the last Dance, the

872
00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:55,840
Speaker 1: reality as Jordan was exhausted simply going to three straight finals,

873
00:47:56,480 --> 00:48:02,120
Speaker 1: simply getting there and winning them drained him. Lebron went

874
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:07,880
Speaker 1: to eight straight finals eight Jordan went to three and

875
00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:12,640
Speaker 1: then quit, took a year and a half off, came back.

876
00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:15,080
Speaker 1: They got smoked by the Orlando Magic in the playoffs,

877
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:21,480
Speaker 1: and then they won three more. Lebron has him. When

878
00:48:21,480 --> 00:48:27,200
Speaker 1: you look all encompassing total stats, durability certainly matters. We

879
00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:29,120
Speaker 1: just saw how much it mattered to Anthony Davis in

880
00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:34,440
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Durability matters. Joel Embiide MVP candidate this year,

881
00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:36,239
Speaker 1: what happens in the first round of playoffs hurt? We

882
00:48:36,239 --> 00:48:39,919
Speaker 1: don't know what his status is. Durability matters. Jamal Murray

883
00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:46,080
Speaker 1: goes down Nuggets great run last year. Hell, you could

884
00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:48,360
Speaker 1: argue that Nuggets would be the best team in the

885
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:51,320
Speaker 1: West with Jamal Murray. I would make a strong argument

886
00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:59,960
Speaker 1: for that. Durability matters. So yeah, Lebron has more points

887
00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:05,759
Speaker 1: or rebounds, more assists, more career playoff points, playoff assists,

888
00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:10,360
Speaker 1: playoff rebounds, everything, go look at the numbers and again,

889
00:49:11,120 --> 00:49:15,120
Speaker 1: this is why Lebron's legacy cannot be hurt. At this point,

890
00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:19,400
Speaker 1: his legacy is set. He is either the best or

891
00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:21,640
Speaker 1: the second best player in the history of the sport.

892
00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:29,399
Speaker 1: There's really no argument against that. Look at Lebron's body

893
00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:33,239
Speaker 1: of work, it is impeccable. The guys played eighteen seasons

894
00:49:34,320 --> 00:49:36,640
Speaker 1: and before the injury this year, he was a leading

895
00:49:36,719 --> 00:49:41,280
Speaker 1: MVP candidate at eight age thirty six. What are we doing? Guys?

896
00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:44,280
Speaker 1: I get it. You don't like him for some reason.

897
00:49:45,719 --> 00:49:49,200
Speaker 1: It's like Iowa Sam as an Iowa guy. He doesn't

898
00:49:49,239 --> 00:49:51,719
Speaker 1: like Iowa state. He doesn't like the Cyclones. Right, I'm

899
00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:53,279
Speaker 1: I'm not putting morerids in your mouth. You don't like

900
00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:55,319
Speaker 1: the Cyclones, right. I like to see them do well

901
00:49:55,360 --> 00:49:59,520
Speaker 1: except against against Iowa. I really do. Seriously. Yeah, I'm

902
00:49:59,520 --> 00:50:04,759
Speaker 1: a cheer leader for the state. Okay, bad analogy, bad atalgy.

903
00:50:05,200 --> 00:50:08,919
Speaker 1: I thought it was obvious. Like my kids yesterday said, Dad,

904
00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:12,160
Speaker 1: shouldn't we root for the Clippers so at least one

905
00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:15,200
Speaker 1: team from Los Angeles can make it? I was like, no,

906
00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:17,960
Speaker 1: no, no no, no, no, no no, no no no, that's not

907
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:20,839
Speaker 1: how it works. They believe in the Iowa Sam method.

908
00:50:20,880 --> 00:50:25,919
Speaker 1: I'm a cheerleader for the state, I said. Pretty much,

909
00:50:25,920 --> 00:50:28,160
Speaker 1: in every city where there's two sports teams, you kind

910
00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:32,440
Speaker 1: of have to pick one and root for them. In

911
00:50:32,520 --> 00:50:35,719
Speaker 1: New York, Jets fans such as myself. We don't like

912
00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:41,839
Speaker 1: Giants fans. Yankees fans such as myself, we don't like

913
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:45,360
Speaker 1: Mets fans. And you could go through all of the

914
00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:51,680
Speaker 1: two team cities and they don't really like each other

915
00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:54,480
Speaker 1: unless I'm missing one, Ryan or Sam. If you could

916
00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:58,480
Speaker 1: think of one that I'm missing, fine, But I am

917
00:50:58,520 --> 00:51:00,759
Speaker 1: of the belief that in two teams at ease, you

918
00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:05,120
Speaker 1: kind of pick a team. Now Rams Chargers is kind

919
00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:09,920
Speaker 1: of interesting because both kind of recently got here. Um,

920
00:51:09,960 --> 00:51:14,719
Speaker 1: But basically, yeah, it's Lakers or Clippers. And of course

921
00:51:14,719 --> 00:51:17,080
Speaker 1: at that point my kids are like, ohh Lakers. Obviously

922
00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:24,520
Speaker 1: I was like, yes, um. So like this idea that

923
00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:27,080
Speaker 1: you have to pick between Lebron and Jordan, you don't

924
00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:30,840
Speaker 1: totally have to. I mean it makes for better radio

925
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:34,840
Speaker 1: and TV and podcasting if you do, and if you

926
00:51:34,840 --> 00:51:38,280
Speaker 1: can back it up, that's even better. The problem becomes

927
00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:42,000
Speaker 1: whenever when you pick one, everybody thinks you're just again

928
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:44,600
Speaker 1: I gotta watch my words. Everybody thinks you're just taking

929
00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:48,960
Speaker 1: shots at the other guy. Absolutely not, not at all.

930
00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:53,080
Speaker 1: I'm not taking shots at Michael Jordan. He is amazing.

931
00:51:53,320 --> 00:51:56,680
Speaker 1: He was a great, great winner. He was a bit

932
00:51:56,719 --> 00:51:58,920
Speaker 1: of a jerk and a narcissist, but we all have

933
00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:02,960
Speaker 1: our own flaws. If you want to not like Lebron

934
00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:06,239
Speaker 1: because he said he was gonna win seven championships with

935
00:52:06,280 --> 00:52:08,440
Speaker 1: the heat or whatever, the number was not one, not

936
00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:12,120
Speaker 1: too like, fine, I get it you don't like him

937
00:52:12,160 --> 00:52:14,000
Speaker 1: for that. If you want to get upset because he

938
00:52:14,080 --> 00:52:18,000
Speaker 1: left Cleveland when his front office couldn't deliver stars for

939
00:52:18,080 --> 00:52:22,120
Speaker 1: him the way Danny Ainge could deliver for the Celtics

940
00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:26,439
Speaker 1: in Boston, like, that's fine, you cannot like, but that's

941
00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:29,840
Speaker 1: your choice. I mean, I think it's a bit of

942
00:52:29,880 --> 00:52:33,360
Speaker 1: a silly decision to dislike someone because they left the

943
00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:36,839
Speaker 1: team to better their station in life. I ain't criticizing

944
00:52:36,920 --> 00:52:40,439
Speaker 1: you if you leave your job for arrival. How many

945
00:52:40,440 --> 00:52:42,520
Speaker 1: people have left ESPN and come to have this one

946
00:52:44,160 --> 00:52:49,240
Speaker 1: all of a sudden? What there like? Bad? Like, whatever's

947
00:52:49,239 --> 00:52:51,319
Speaker 1: gonna make you happy, that's what you need to do.

948
00:52:53,160 --> 00:52:56,520
Speaker 1: And Lebron made himself happy. And then people will say, oh, okay,

949
00:52:56,719 --> 00:52:58,880
Speaker 1: and trust me, I've knocked down all these arguments. So

950
00:52:59,320 --> 00:53:00,880
Speaker 1: like anything you come to the table with, I'm just

951
00:53:00,880 --> 00:53:05,279
Speaker 1: gonna swat it back like like a ping pong slam. Okay,

952
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:10,400
Speaker 1: this idea that Oh well, Lebron keeps jumping around teams.

953
00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:12,279
Speaker 1: Do you know how hard it is to just keep

954
00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:14,880
Speaker 1: moving around and winning with a new cast and winning

955
00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:17,319
Speaker 1: with a new coach in a new city, in a

956
00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:19,680
Speaker 1: new organization. Do you know how hard that is? Oh? Well,

957
00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:21,880
Speaker 1: it's it's much tougher to just build it from scratch.

958
00:53:22,080 --> 00:53:24,960
Speaker 1: Oh okay, well fine, Lebron did that too when he

959
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:28,640
Speaker 1: went back to Cleveland, And they want take a look

960
00:53:28,640 --> 00:53:35,000
Speaker 1: at the years before Lebron got there, nineteen wins, wins.

961
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:38,200
Speaker 1: He built that from scratch pretty damn quick, a lot

962
00:53:38,280 --> 00:53:41,080
Speaker 1: quicker than a lot of gm is could. And then

963
00:53:41,080 --> 00:53:44,440
Speaker 1: take a look when Lebron goes to the Lakers. Oh,

964
00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:47,520
Speaker 1: they had fallen on hard times, the worst stretch in

965
00:53:47,600 --> 00:53:51,040
Speaker 1: the history of the franchise, and Lebron got up a

966
00:53:51,040 --> 00:53:57,400
Speaker 1: title last year. You guys, let's stop doing this. Wherever

967
00:53:57,480 --> 00:54:00,799
Speaker 1: he goes, they're gonna win. Well, yeah, Jason, because he

968
00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:06,040
Speaker 1: gets stars. Who wins without stars? Nobody? Nobody. Michael Jordan

969
00:54:06,120 --> 00:54:09,759
Speaker 1: did win jack Squat before Phil Jackson showed up and

970
00:54:09,800 --> 00:54:14,840
Speaker 1: got him in line, and Scottie Pippen. Jordan's zero titles

971
00:54:14,840 --> 00:54:19,480
Speaker 1: without pipping, zero titles without Phil Jackson. And by the way,

972
00:54:19,520 --> 00:54:21,719
Speaker 1: Phil Jackson went on to do some pretty darn good

973
00:54:21,760 --> 00:54:24,680
Speaker 1: things with Kobe and Jack What had they done before

974
00:54:24,680 --> 00:54:29,120
Speaker 1: Phil Jackson got there? You know, the defense rests its case.

975
00:54:29,560 --> 00:54:33,000
Speaker 1: So like, maybe we'll open the phone lines again, Ryan,

976
00:54:33,040 --> 00:54:34,879
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe Isaac will want to jump in

977
00:54:35,640 --> 00:54:40,920
Speaker 1: and bat this around. Personally, Lebron's legacy is firmly intact um,

978
00:54:40,960 --> 00:54:43,000
Speaker 1: you know, And coming up next, I actually want to

979
00:54:43,040 --> 00:54:47,440
Speaker 1: take on this Celtics situation a little bit. I know,

980
00:54:47,520 --> 00:54:48,879
Speaker 1: we don't have a lot of people who care about

981
00:54:48,880 --> 00:54:50,920
Speaker 1: Boston now. Everybody wants to bash him and break up

982
00:54:50,960 --> 00:54:57,280
Speaker 1: Tatum and Brown or all this nonsense. Like again, perspective batters, guys.

983
00:54:57,760 --> 00:55:00,000
Speaker 1: You know I I tend to be knee jerk. Sometimes

984
00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:03,960
Speaker 1: I'm doing much better at that in my advanced stage. Um,

985
00:55:05,239 --> 00:55:07,880
Speaker 1: but y'all need to clean it up just a little

986
00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:12,680
Speaker 1: bit like this bashing Danny Age like idiocy, Brad Stevens

987
00:55:12,719 --> 00:55:15,280
Speaker 1: wasn't a good coach, Like you have no idea about basketball.

988
00:55:15,280 --> 00:55:17,359
Speaker 1: We'll do all that next here on Fox Sports Radio.

989
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:21,160
Speaker 1: All right, well, what do we do Boston Celtics? Like

990
00:55:22,800 --> 00:55:24,640
Speaker 1: I was, guys, that was so wrong about these damn

991
00:55:24,680 --> 00:55:27,040
Speaker 1: Celtics this year, and I don't mind admitting that. You know,

992
00:55:27,040 --> 00:55:29,120
Speaker 1: without Jalen Brown, they had no chance. They did get

993
00:55:29,160 --> 00:55:35,600
Speaker 1: one game off the nets, um Kemba Walker missed two. Uh,

994
00:55:35,960 --> 00:55:38,760
Speaker 1: You're not winning any playoff games, especially against a favorite

995
00:55:38,760 --> 00:55:41,400
Speaker 1: to win the title without your second and third best player.

996
00:55:41,480 --> 00:55:44,480
Speaker 1: So I'm not killing the Celtics for this, but just

997
00:55:44,560 --> 00:55:49,080
Speaker 1: a quick recap for those who can't hear me in

998
00:55:49,120 --> 00:55:54,040
Speaker 1: the back on Danny Age. Oh, he didn't trade for

999
00:55:54,120 --> 00:55:58,439
Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler, Paul George. Oh he didn't make a run

1000
00:55:58,440 --> 00:56:01,360
Speaker 1: at Anthony Davis or Kauai. Okay, you know, because I

1001
00:56:01,440 --> 00:56:04,040
Speaker 1: wanted l A. He used Toronto as a pit stop.

1002
00:56:06,160 --> 00:56:09,520
Speaker 1: Anton Davis wanted l A. I wasn't gonna sign in Boston.

1003
00:56:09,520 --> 00:56:12,200
Speaker 1: Why would you give up great picks for him? I

1004
00:56:12,239 --> 00:56:15,120
Speaker 1: like Jimmy Butler. He has been to the finals. Could

1005
00:56:15,120 --> 00:56:16,560
Speaker 1: have been a good could have been a good pick

1006
00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:20,560
Speaker 1: trade Paul George jury is still out. I'm sure he'll

1007
00:56:20,600 --> 00:56:22,239
Speaker 1: go to the finals this year, just you know, because

1008
00:56:22,239 --> 00:56:24,480
Speaker 1: it's time for playoff b to get to the finals.

1009
00:56:24,520 --> 00:56:26,640
Speaker 1: But this idea that Danny Age did not have a

1010
00:56:26,640 --> 00:56:29,920
Speaker 1: good run, I just want to remind guys. The only

1011
00:56:30,040 --> 00:56:33,320
Speaker 1: reason Doc Rivers has a ring, it's because of Danny Age.

1012
00:56:33,640 --> 00:56:37,319
Speaker 1: The only reason Kevin Garnett has a ring, it's because

1013
00:56:37,320 --> 00:56:42,840
Speaker 1: of Danny Age. Lebron started to lay waste to the

1014
00:56:42,880 --> 00:56:49,120
Speaker 1: East when he was okay. Danny Ainge saw it and said, man,

1015
00:56:50,320 --> 00:56:53,560
Speaker 1: I got two stars here. I'm all stars in Paul

1016
00:56:53,600 --> 00:56:58,279
Speaker 1: Pierced Antoine Walker. But we can't go nowhere. I need

1017
00:56:58,320 --> 00:57:02,879
Speaker 1: to press that upgrade button and get me a couple

1018
00:57:03,239 --> 00:57:06,440
Speaker 1: ready to win a title. Stars enter Ray Allen entered

1019
00:57:06,520 --> 00:57:09,600
Speaker 1: Kevin Garnett. Danny Ainge swung that trade. Give the man

1020
00:57:09,719 --> 00:57:13,120
Speaker 1: some credit. They won a title, then they lost in

1021
00:57:13,160 --> 00:57:15,600
Speaker 1: the finals, and then KG got hurt the other year

1022
00:57:17,520 --> 00:57:24,280
Speaker 1: undeniably a huge win for Danny Ainge Wanner title. Then

1023
00:57:24,880 --> 00:57:27,440
Speaker 1: you know, traded all those guys, those old guys to

1024
00:57:27,520 --> 00:57:31,560
Speaker 1: Brooklyn for the picks. He's had three top ten picks

1025
00:57:31,560 --> 00:57:35,320
Speaker 1: in the last decade. He has gotten Jason Tatum, who's

1026
00:57:35,400 --> 00:57:38,480
Speaker 1: a superstar, top ten guy in the league. For my money.

1027
00:57:38,840 --> 00:57:41,680
Speaker 1: He has gotten Jalen Brown, who was on the cusp

1028
00:57:41,760 --> 00:57:43,680
Speaker 1: of being an All Star. I think he's like twenty

1029
00:57:43,680 --> 00:57:51,400
Speaker 1: four and nine. And Marcus Smart, who's a perennially All

1030
00:57:51,520 --> 00:57:54,800
Speaker 1: Defense Guy and All Defensive UH Defensive Player of the

1031
00:57:54,840 --> 00:57:59,320
Speaker 1: Year Kennedy. So three top ten picks, and I would

1032
00:57:59,320 --> 00:58:01,880
Speaker 1: say he has a grand lamentatum, a three run homer

1033
00:58:01,920 --> 00:58:05,680
Speaker 1: in Brown and a solo blast in Marcus Smart. Like

1034
00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:09,520
Speaker 1: that's what you do. You hit your top ten picks. Now.

1035
00:58:09,840 --> 00:58:13,280
Speaker 1: The decade prior, he whipped on some, you know, top

1036
00:58:13,320 --> 00:58:15,720
Speaker 1: twenty picks, but it's a lot more. It's a lot

1037
00:58:15,800 --> 00:58:19,000
Speaker 1: harder picking in the to ten to twenty range, and

1038
00:58:19,040 --> 00:58:22,160
Speaker 1: when you get down to thirty, like good luck, it's

1039
00:58:22,160 --> 00:58:27,120
Speaker 1: like throwing darts. But Danny Ange delivered and he's now

1040
00:58:27,160 --> 00:58:29,920
Speaker 1: retired and moving on. Just a quick history lesson for

1041
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:34,000
Speaker 1: those who missed this from Straight Fire this week. You know,

1042
00:58:34,080 --> 00:58:37,200
Speaker 1: Danny Angel was like one of the greatest high school

1043
00:58:37,280 --> 00:58:45,200
Speaker 1: athletes in the last forty five years. He was an

1044
00:58:45,240 --> 00:58:49,080
Speaker 1: all state basketball player at one two state championships. He

1045
00:58:49,160 --> 00:58:52,120
Speaker 1: was an like a parade All American football wide receiver

1046
00:58:52,320 --> 00:58:57,600
Speaker 1: who was recruited by everybody. And he was a pretty

1047
00:58:57,600 --> 00:59:02,000
Speaker 1: decent baseball player who got drafted and made the majors

1048
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:06,400
Speaker 1: when he was in college. Danny Angel was an incredible athlete.

1049
00:59:06,480 --> 00:59:08,800
Speaker 1: And I'm not a fan because he was a Celtic

1050
00:59:08,880 --> 00:59:10,520
Speaker 1: and I was a Laker fan, and I was a

1051
00:59:10,600 --> 00:59:13,120
Speaker 1: Knicks fan in the eighties, and all Danny Ainge did

1052
00:59:13,160 --> 00:59:16,600
Speaker 1: was pick fights and make some clutch baskets and really

1053
00:59:16,640 --> 00:59:18,440
Speaker 1: stir up a lot of emotions. So I've never been

1054
00:59:18,440 --> 00:59:21,520
Speaker 1: a Danny Ange fan, but I respected. It's like Larry Bird.

1055
00:59:21,600 --> 00:59:23,680
Speaker 1: I didn't like Bird, I like Magic, but of course

1056
00:59:23,720 --> 00:59:26,840
Speaker 1: I respect Bird. A guy's incredible top ten player all time.

1057
00:59:28,680 --> 00:59:31,200
Speaker 1: So Danny Ainge went from being an awesome athlete to

1058
00:59:31,280 --> 00:59:35,840
Speaker 1: winning championships in the NBA with the Celtics, to being

1059
00:59:35,880 --> 00:59:38,760
Speaker 1: a good front office guy who delivered a title by

1060
00:59:38,800 --> 00:59:44,919
Speaker 1: getting a super team. Danny Ainge, well freaking done. Now,

1061
00:59:45,040 --> 00:59:47,080
Speaker 1: Brad Stevens real quick before we get to our guests.

1062
00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:51,000
Speaker 1: This idea that Brad Stevens is not a good coach

1063
00:59:51,080 --> 00:59:56,360
Speaker 1: or he underdelivered, Um, it's just total balder dash. I mean,

1064
00:59:57,720 --> 01:00:03,720
Speaker 1: the guy takes Butler, who nobody had heard of. It

1065
01:00:03,760 --> 01:00:07,400
Speaker 1: takes Butler to the Final four and the championship game twice.

1066
01:00:09,480 --> 01:00:12,640
Speaker 1: Then he goes to the Celtics given a really really

1067
01:00:12,680 --> 01:00:16,760
Speaker 1: bad roster, but eventually some good young players and gets

1068
01:00:16,760 --> 01:00:21,280
Speaker 1: to the conference finals. Three years out of four. Now

1069
01:00:21,280 --> 01:00:23,800
Speaker 1: he didn't eventually get two through to the finals. Well,

1070
01:00:23,840 --> 01:00:25,240
Speaker 1: it's obviously was not going to get through with that

1071
01:00:25,280 --> 01:00:27,479
Speaker 1: Isaiah Thomas team. I mean, go look at that roster.

1072
01:00:27,600 --> 01:00:30,360
Speaker 1: There's no shot that we're gonna win that series. But

1073
01:00:30,440 --> 01:00:32,919
Speaker 1: they got Gordon Hayward and that was the one year

1074
01:00:32,960 --> 01:00:34,920
Speaker 1: they were They started as the favorite to win the

1075
01:00:34,920 --> 01:00:38,320
Speaker 1: East when they added Gordon Hayward. You guys now know

1076
01:00:38,360 --> 01:00:44,360
Speaker 1: what happened. First game of the season, first quarter opening,

1077
01:00:44,680 --> 01:00:49,280
Speaker 1: I don't know, four minutes, Gordon Hayward goes up, comes

1078
01:00:49,320 --> 01:00:51,560
Speaker 1: down and his ankle bone is sticking out of his

1079
01:00:51,760 --> 01:00:54,480
Speaker 1: foot or femur or whatever it was. It was disgusting

1080
01:00:55,120 --> 01:00:58,760
Speaker 1: and his season was over. And I don't know how

1081
01:00:58,800 --> 01:01:02,520
Speaker 1: you expect the Celtics to go on from that and

1082
01:01:02,600 --> 01:01:06,280
Speaker 1: like win anything when you lose your marquee free agent

1083
01:01:06,360 --> 01:01:09,280
Speaker 1: in the first game of the season in a traumatic fashion.

1084
01:01:09,320 --> 01:01:11,360
Speaker 1: If you go look at that video on YouTube, people

1085
01:01:11,400 --> 01:01:16,320
Speaker 1: are like running away from Gordon Hayward. It is okay.

1086
01:01:17,560 --> 01:01:21,240
Speaker 1: Brad Stevens three Conference finals appearances in eight years as

1087
01:01:21,240 --> 01:01:24,760
Speaker 1: a head coach. Doc Reverse has been a head coach

1088
01:01:24,840 --> 01:01:29,760
Speaker 1: for seventeen seasons. He too has three Conference finals strips.

1089
01:01:30,560 --> 01:01:33,240
Speaker 1: Do you guys realize how hard it is to get

1090
01:01:33,240 --> 01:01:35,120
Speaker 1: to the finals? I feel like I would say, I'm

1091
01:01:35,160 --> 01:01:38,800
Speaker 1: all these yahoo's on Twitter and social media just have

1092
01:01:38,880 --> 01:01:42,000
Speaker 1: no clue about competition and how hard it is to

1093
01:01:42,040 --> 01:01:44,760
Speaker 1: do anything once. Let's get to the conference finals. I

1094
01:01:44,840 --> 01:01:46,720
Speaker 1: was just researching this last night before we get to

1095
01:01:46,760 --> 01:01:54,600
Speaker 1: our guests. All these finalists in the West. Okay, So

1096
01:01:54,720 --> 01:02:00,520
Speaker 1: the Utah Jazz last won the West and Okay over

1097
01:02:00,560 --> 01:02:03,360
Speaker 1: twenty years ago. They haven't been to the conference finals

1098
01:02:03,400 --> 01:02:09,680
Speaker 1: since two thousand seven. The Phoenix Suns haven't been to

1099
01:02:09,760 --> 01:02:12,200
Speaker 1: the conference finals since two thousand and ten. I'm pretty

1100
01:02:12,200 --> 01:02:16,480
Speaker 1: sure that was a Nash team. The Clippers. This is staggering.

1101
01:02:17,200 --> 01:02:20,880
Speaker 1: Never have been to the conference finals ever. Brad Stevens

1102
01:02:20,880 --> 01:02:23,640
Speaker 1: got there three times in four years. That's it. I'm done.

1103
01:02:24,000 --> 01:02:27,400
Speaker 1: Coming up next year on Fox Sports Radio, We're gonna

1111
01:02:52,320 --> 01:02:57,200
Speaker 1: part ways after nine seasons. Trailblazers general manager Damie excuse me,

1112
01:02:57,960 --> 01:03:03,000
Speaker 1: I read that wrong. Pray Blazers point guard Damian Lillard

1130
01:04:07,520 --> 01:04:10,120
Speaker 1: the Athletic. He's gonna take us through this and the

1131
01:04:10,200 --> 01:04:14,360
Speaker 1: keyword here is exhibition between Mayweather and the Paul brother Mike.

1132
01:04:14,400 --> 01:04:17,520
Speaker 1: How are you man? Jason doing great? And I want

1133
01:04:17,520 --> 01:04:19,640
Speaker 1: to say right at the top, I really appreciate you

1134
01:04:19,760 --> 01:04:22,560
Speaker 1: saying that as an exhibition, because you can't. I'm sure

1135
01:04:22,600 --> 01:04:25,520
Speaker 1: you can only imagine how many nonsense questions I get about, oh,

1136
01:04:25,560 --> 01:04:27,880
Speaker 1: who's gonna win this? Spy and this and not? It's

1137
01:04:27,920 --> 01:04:30,600
Speaker 1: an exhibition. This is not a real fight. Yeah, now,

1138
01:04:30,640 --> 01:04:32,560
Speaker 1: now can you take us through that? That phrase is

1139
01:04:32,640 --> 01:04:35,000
Speaker 1: kind of loaded. This is not a real fight. Now.

1140
01:04:35,040 --> 01:04:38,000
Speaker 1: You can bet on this. But when was the last

1141
01:04:38,040 --> 01:04:42,200
Speaker 1: time you covered a boxing exhibition match? Mike? Um? Have

1142
01:04:42,280 --> 01:04:47,120
Speaker 1: I ever covered an ex shimibition? I don't think I have, actually, Um,

1143
01:04:47,240 --> 01:04:49,280
Speaker 1: because you know, obviously we had the Mike Tyson Roy

1144
01:04:49,360 --> 01:04:52,040
Speaker 1: Jones exhibition in November and I lived in l a

1145
01:04:52,040 --> 01:04:54,000
Speaker 1: at the time, and I didn't go to that has

1146
01:04:54,040 --> 01:04:58,160
Speaker 1: opened Miami now, but I have no choice here, so look,

1147
01:04:58,280 --> 01:05:01,600
Speaker 1: it's it'll be fun. Think the important things to say

1148
01:05:01,680 --> 01:05:03,640
Speaker 1: here is that there's not going to be an official winner.

1149
01:05:03,800 --> 01:05:06,560
Speaker 1: There's not going to be I don't expect guys trying

1150
01:05:06,560 --> 01:05:09,640
Speaker 1: to kill each other in there, but knockouts are all out.

1151
01:05:09,800 --> 01:05:14,000
Speaker 1: So who knows. I wonder, Uh, Miami, I just want

1152
01:05:14,080 --> 01:05:16,360
Speaker 1: on Instagram before the show this morning, and Miami is

1153
01:05:16,400 --> 01:05:18,800
Speaker 1: just jumping this weekend? Is is there a lot happening

1154
01:05:18,800 --> 01:05:23,240
Speaker 1: there beside the fight? Yeah, there's actually bitcoin conference, oh

1155
01:05:23,320 --> 01:05:25,040
Speaker 1: weeks so you have a lot. You have all those

1156
01:05:25,040 --> 01:05:29,440
Speaker 1: bros out here. So it's between Mayweather, Logan Paul and

1157
01:05:29,520 --> 01:05:31,640
Speaker 1: that and then also Jake Paul promoting his fight with

1158
01:05:31,680 --> 01:05:35,040
Speaker 1: Tyron Woodley. It's a bit crazy, okay, so this now

1159
01:05:35,160 --> 01:05:36,960
Speaker 1: you just put yeah, you just put a bowl on

1160
01:05:36,960 --> 01:05:41,640
Speaker 1: it for me. Okay, Bitcoin conference? Right, Floyd Mayweather speaking

1161
01:05:41,640 --> 01:05:45,200
Speaker 1: at that? Is he not? Okay? So Floyd, so this

1162
01:05:45,240 --> 01:05:49,120
Speaker 1: fight came together quickly. I'm sorry, this exhibition came together quickly.

1163
01:05:49,520 --> 01:05:53,240
Speaker 1: Floyd Mayweather is speaking at a bitcoin conference and let

1164
01:05:53,240 --> 01:05:56,960
Speaker 1: me guess the Paul brothers have a bunch of bitcoin too, right, Um,

1165
01:05:57,480 --> 01:05:59,040
Speaker 1: I think they do, but I know that they're big

1166
01:05:59,080 --> 01:06:02,080
Speaker 1: on doge coin and uh something something called him milk.

1167
01:06:02,360 --> 01:06:03,720
Speaker 1: I don't know if the deal is of that one,

1168
01:06:03,800 --> 01:06:06,160
Speaker 1: but that's the one they've been pushing. I don't understand

1169
01:06:06,240 --> 01:06:08,400
Speaker 1: this crypla currency very much. I guess if I did,

1170
01:06:08,400 --> 01:06:10,200
Speaker 1: I might be richer. And when I say richer, I

1171
01:06:10,200 --> 01:06:14,480
Speaker 1: mean have some money. But yeah, I don't get anything.

1172
01:06:14,480 --> 01:06:17,720
Speaker 1: So basically this is all just self promotional to make

1173
01:06:17,760 --> 01:06:20,520
Speaker 1: money and compound our interest in bitcoin, right, It's that

1174
01:06:20,680 --> 01:06:24,640
Speaker 1: That's what this is. This fight Yeah, yeah, this fight

1175
01:06:24,720 --> 01:06:26,520
Speaker 1: is a cash crap for sure. I mean, Boyd Mayweather

1176
01:06:26,640 --> 01:06:33,000
Speaker 1: called it illegalized bank robbery and uh well I exployed

1177
01:06:33,040 --> 01:06:34,720
Speaker 1: the other day. What he meant by that, he said, Yeah,

1178
01:06:34,760 --> 01:06:36,400
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna do whatever I want to do. So

1179
01:06:37,240 --> 01:06:39,760
Speaker 1: um and if you remember when he fought Connor McGregor,

1180
01:06:39,760 --> 01:06:41,520
Speaker 1: and I was not an exhibition, although it might as

1181
01:06:41,520 --> 01:06:44,600
Speaker 1: well have been. He wore a he wore a ski

1182
01:06:44,680 --> 01:06:50,560
Speaker 1: mask to the ring because he was so if you're buying,

1183
01:06:50,840 --> 01:06:53,080
Speaker 1: if you're buying this fight all too, if you get

1184
01:06:53,120 --> 01:06:56,919
Speaker 1: upset after what happens, that's on you. Wow. Now see

1185
01:06:56,920 --> 01:06:58,880
Speaker 1: now this is good. Okay, let me let me be

1186
01:06:58,920 --> 01:07:01,680
Speaker 1: honest with you, Mike. I don't know has the media

1187
01:07:01,760 --> 01:07:05,560
Speaker 1: covered this heavily or not, because essentially, if they do

1188
01:07:05,680 --> 01:07:07,800
Speaker 1: cover it heavily and by media, I guess that includes

1189
01:07:07,840 --> 01:07:11,680
Speaker 1: this interview. We're basically promoting the exhibition and driving idiots

1190
01:07:11,680 --> 01:07:15,080
Speaker 1: to buy this fight. Right, surely we are. That's what

1191
01:07:15,120 --> 01:07:17,760
Speaker 1: we're doing right now, Jason, so um, I guess you

1192
01:07:17,760 --> 01:07:22,200
Speaker 1: gotta pick your poison. But I did also ask Floyd

1193
01:07:22,240 --> 01:07:23,960
Speaker 1: the other day. I said, hey, look, we all know

1194
01:07:24,040 --> 01:07:26,280
Speaker 1: that you carried Kim McGregor for a few rounds. Are

1195
01:07:26,320 --> 01:07:29,040
Speaker 1: you going to carry Logan too? And he said absolutely.

1196
01:07:29,240 --> 01:07:30,560
Speaker 1: He goes if I knocked this guy out in the

1197
01:07:30,560 --> 01:07:34,880
Speaker 1: first round, people were going to be upset. Wow. Wait,

1198
01:07:34,880 --> 01:07:37,000
Speaker 1: so let me let me go back. Was Connor McGregor?

1199
01:07:37,080 --> 01:07:39,080
Speaker 1: Was that a fight for a belt or anything or exhibition?

1200
01:07:40,000 --> 01:07:42,160
Speaker 1: That was a sensioned fight but there was no belt

1201
01:07:42,200 --> 01:07:44,520
Speaker 1: on the line. But I think they will just scored

1202
01:07:44,520 --> 01:07:46,600
Speaker 1: a tenth round stoppage. I thought he carried him for

1203
01:07:46,600 --> 01:07:48,920
Speaker 1: at least the first you know, five rounds for the

1204
01:07:49,000 --> 01:07:52,240
Speaker 1: non boxing audience. What has carried being he just hung

1205
01:07:52,280 --> 01:07:55,520
Speaker 1: with him and let him hang around Yeah, good question.

1206
01:07:55,680 --> 01:07:57,400
Speaker 1: I think he was just kind of like going through

1207
01:07:57,400 --> 01:08:00,320
Speaker 1: the motion, not throwing at any big shots, to kind

1208
01:08:00,320 --> 01:08:03,000
Speaker 1: of like letting him hang around, so to speak. So yeah,

1209
01:08:03,000 --> 01:08:05,760
Speaker 1: there it would be who've made whether to actually try

1210
01:08:05,800 --> 01:08:07,320
Speaker 1: to beat this guy up in the first round and

1211
01:08:07,360 --> 01:08:10,480
Speaker 1: knock him out and get the t K or whatever? Right, Yea,

1212
01:08:10,520 --> 01:08:12,280
Speaker 1: I guess it could, but for you know, like Foy

1213
01:08:12,400 --> 01:08:13,760
Speaker 1: told me said, he's not gonna do that because he

1214
01:08:13,760 --> 01:08:15,480
Speaker 1: thinks that people are gonna be very upset with him

1215
01:08:15,640 --> 01:08:17,280
Speaker 1: if they buy the fight or they go to the

1216
01:08:17,320 --> 01:08:19,479
Speaker 1: fight and then an engine one rounds. So I think

1217
01:08:19,520 --> 01:08:21,080
Speaker 1: we're gonna look at maybe like the second half of

1218
01:08:21,080 --> 01:08:24,240
Speaker 1: the fight. Let me ask you this about and again,

1219
01:08:24,320 --> 01:08:27,000
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm I'm I think we're about probably the

1220
01:08:27,000 --> 01:08:30,519
Speaker 1: same age. I just don't understand these Paul brothers. Do

1221
01:08:30,600 --> 01:08:33,400
Speaker 1: you think this whole logan Paul Jake Pault is it

1222
01:08:33,439 --> 01:08:36,120
Speaker 1: good for boxing? I know that's kind of a loaded question,

1223
01:08:36,520 --> 01:08:39,840
Speaker 1: but I guess tackle that first and then I'll I'll

1224
01:08:39,840 --> 01:08:42,599
Speaker 1: do a follow up. I think that's a great question

1225
01:08:42,640 --> 01:08:44,519
Speaker 1: because I think it's hard to answer right now. I

1226
01:08:44,600 --> 01:08:47,000
Speaker 1: certainly don't think it's a dad for boxing. I think

1227
01:08:47,400 --> 01:08:50,160
Speaker 1: you know, the sport of boxing. Failing to create the

1228
01:08:50,200 --> 01:08:53,760
Speaker 1: best matchups on asistent basis and failure to promote the

1229
01:08:53,760 --> 01:08:56,600
Speaker 1: big fights properly a lot of times really opens up

1230
01:08:56,640 --> 01:08:59,320
Speaker 1: the door for guys like this come in and really

1231
01:08:59,400 --> 01:09:01,720
Speaker 1: make a name for them selves in another sport. So

1232
01:09:02,120 --> 01:09:04,840
Speaker 1: I will say Jake Paul at least takes this pretty

1233
01:09:04,840 --> 01:09:07,120
Speaker 1: seriously and I don't mind it. And you know, he's

1234
01:09:07,120 --> 01:09:10,760
Speaker 1: not fighting real boxes, but he's fighting real nime fighters.

1235
01:09:10,800 --> 01:09:14,320
Speaker 1: So I mean, if it helps, like put spotlight from

1236
01:09:14,439 --> 01:09:18,600
Speaker 1: young people put their eyes on boxing, even if it's

1237
01:09:18,640 --> 01:09:22,320
Speaker 1: not like real purist because you've covered real boxers like

1238
01:09:22,760 --> 01:09:25,240
Speaker 1: these guys aren't real boxers. They're just big guys who

1239
01:09:25,240 --> 01:09:29,559
Speaker 1: want to throw punches, right. Yeah, but I will say

1240
01:09:29,600 --> 01:09:32,839
Speaker 1: that I think Jake is pretty competent for being a novice.

1241
01:09:33,320 --> 01:09:36,800
Speaker 1: You know, he actually have some fundamentals and Logan does not.

1242
01:09:37,000 --> 01:09:38,960
Speaker 1: So while they all they are brothers, Jake is far

1243
01:09:39,000 --> 01:09:41,400
Speaker 1: better than Logan. And yeah, I think if it puts

1244
01:09:41,400 --> 01:09:44,240
Speaker 1: a spotlight for young that's great. But I wonder how

1245
01:09:44,240 --> 01:09:46,559
Speaker 1: many of them watching stick around for the next fight. Yeah,

1246
01:09:46,560 --> 01:09:49,000
Speaker 1: I say the next one, I mean the next real fight. Yeah,

1247
01:09:49,360 --> 01:09:52,960
Speaker 1: that's where it gets interesting. Now, is there a situation

1248
01:09:52,960 --> 01:09:56,320
Speaker 1: where Mayweather actually could get caught with a rogue punch

1249
01:09:56,360 --> 01:09:58,639
Speaker 1: and then if he goes down? Yeah, I believe he's

1250
01:09:58,680 --> 01:10:02,120
Speaker 1: He's still unblemish record. Since it's an exhibition, it won't

1251
01:10:02,160 --> 01:10:05,360
Speaker 1: count against him, right, I mean, could my dad win

1252
01:10:05,400 --> 01:10:07,840
Speaker 1: the lottery? Probably not. But he's still gonna keep alling

1253
01:10:07,840 --> 01:10:12,679
Speaker 1: no scratch off every day. So I don't I don't

1254
01:10:12,720 --> 01:10:15,120
Speaker 1: see any scenario. I mean maybe if they whether have

1255
01:10:15,120 --> 01:10:17,040
Speaker 1: stood there with his hands behind his back and gave him,

1256
01:10:17,080 --> 01:10:21,680
Speaker 1: like Simfrey shots because a lot of people wanted to

1257
01:10:21,680 --> 01:10:24,559
Speaker 1: play that. Connor McGregor cart Well, Connor, you know, he's

1258
01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:27,000
Speaker 1: got the reach and he I mean, Connor had really

1259
01:10:27,160 --> 01:10:32,280
Speaker 1: no chance. Right, you're a chance, I mean, you know,

1260
01:10:32,320 --> 01:10:35,320
Speaker 1: because I've always heard this little thing too. Oh Lebron James,

1261
01:10:35,320 --> 01:10:37,679
Speaker 1: he's a big guy. She put him in with Canello.

1262
01:10:37,800 --> 01:10:39,880
Speaker 1: He could win, right, Well, No, he's not a boxer.

1263
01:10:40,439 --> 01:10:42,920
Speaker 1: He's logan. Paul is logan Paul gonna beat the Lebron

1264
01:10:43,000 --> 01:10:46,320
Speaker 1: James and one on one. Yeah, it's like people kind

1265
01:10:46,320 --> 01:10:50,320
Speaker 1: of underestimate Mayweather's actual ability. And you know, do you

1266
01:10:50,400 --> 01:10:55,080
Speaker 1: think this late career Mayweather all the stunts in the theatrics, uh,

1267
01:10:55,280 --> 01:10:58,000
Speaker 1: and he's gimmick fights. Does this hurt his legacy at all?

1268
01:10:58,040 --> 01:11:00,960
Speaker 1: And he may not care about it because so wealthy,

1269
01:11:01,000 --> 01:11:04,160
Speaker 1: but I don't know, just it just feels gimmicky for

1270
01:11:04,200 --> 01:11:06,840
Speaker 1: a guy who is technically one of the greatest ever, right,

1271
01:11:08,520 --> 01:11:11,200
Speaker 1: I don't think it hurts his legacy because you can't

1272
01:11:11,200 --> 01:11:13,840
Speaker 1: forget Muhammad Alis did the same thing. Mohammed Ali had

1273
01:11:14,000 --> 01:11:17,639
Speaker 1: an exhibition with Antonio Andinoki, the legendary Japanese wrestler over

1274
01:11:17,760 --> 01:11:20,639
Speaker 1: Japan years ago, and Muhammad Ali, you know, we play

1275
01:11:20,720 --> 01:11:23,960
Speaker 1: with you know, joint stunt fighting with actors and all

1276
01:11:23,960 --> 01:11:25,559
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. He's a showman and they were

1277
01:11:25,600 --> 01:11:27,800
Speaker 1: just trying to follow in his footsteps, I think, because

1278
01:11:27,800 --> 01:11:30,160
Speaker 1: that can be very lucrative long term. Like people are

1279
01:11:30,160 --> 01:11:33,120
Speaker 1: gonna still pay to hear Mayweather speak in twenty years

1280
01:11:33,520 --> 01:11:35,360
Speaker 1: because of what he did in you know, the two

1281
01:11:35,400 --> 01:11:38,720
Speaker 1: thousand tens Man. That's wild, all right, Michael, trying to

1282
01:11:38,800 --> 01:11:42,200
Speaker 1: enjoy the fight this weekend. Um, you know, I don't

1283
01:11:42,200 --> 01:11:44,800
Speaker 1: know what to make of this bitcoin stuff either. I

1284
01:11:44,840 --> 01:11:47,439
Speaker 1: do not have any holdings, not that anyone cares, but

1285
01:11:47,800 --> 01:11:49,639
Speaker 1: you know, trying to enjoy the fight this weekend, and

1286
01:11:49,720 --> 01:11:51,920
Speaker 1: you know, if there is a good fight coming up,

1287
01:11:52,200 --> 01:11:53,720
Speaker 1: can you can you give it to us like some

1288
01:11:54,000 --> 01:11:57,200
Speaker 1: a fight we would actually care about that matters. I

1289
01:11:57,240 --> 01:11:59,760
Speaker 1: think we have a pretty good fight Lpez versus George

1290
01:11:59,800 --> 01:12:02,639
Speaker 1: Kims on June nine, team also in Miami, and then

1291
01:12:02,720 --> 01:12:05,599
Speaker 1: a really good fight of course, uh Yant Wilder Tyson

1292
01:12:05,600 --> 01:12:09,559
Speaker 1: Furies three Vegas. Yeah, that we'll be out there for that, right,

1293
01:12:10,439 --> 01:12:12,320
Speaker 1: I will be out there. Can't wait. All right, Mike,

1294
01:12:12,320 --> 01:12:15,320
Speaker 1: thanks a lot, and enjoy the weekend in Miami. All right,

1295
01:12:15,320 --> 01:12:19,320
Speaker 1: thank you? All right, Mike Coppinger, Boxing insider for the Athletic.

1296
01:12:19,720 --> 01:12:22,679
Speaker 1: I like how he's pretty succinct in right on spot

1297
01:12:22,680 --> 01:12:28,600
Speaker 1: on Floyd Mayweather calling this a legalized bank robbery. That

1298
01:12:28,800 --> 01:12:31,559
Speaker 1: is just awesome. And listen, I think we've been over

1299
01:12:31,600 --> 01:12:37,840
Speaker 1: the Mayweather stuff before. Um, Floyd Mayweather really was like

1300
01:12:37,880 --> 01:12:41,000
Speaker 1: an awesome boxer with none of the stick and then

1301
01:12:41,040 --> 01:12:44,960
Speaker 1: realized the upside of the stick and then just dove

1302
01:12:45,040 --> 01:12:46,880
Speaker 1: in head first. And a lot of people have done that.

1303
01:12:47,800 --> 01:12:49,679
Speaker 1: A lot of people have just said, oh wait, there's

1304
01:12:49,680 --> 01:12:54,720
Speaker 1: an avenue here to riches and millions, why not let

1305
01:12:54,800 --> 01:12:56,919
Speaker 1: me just dive in head first. And that's what Mayweather

1306
01:12:57,000 --> 01:12:59,400
Speaker 1: is done? And now he's fighting this tomato can in

1307
01:12:59,439 --> 01:13:02,920
Speaker 1: an exhibition. Um, it sounds like he's just gonna toy

1308
01:13:02,960 --> 01:13:05,040
Speaker 1: with him. So this goes on and people watch and

1309
01:13:05,560 --> 01:13:08,519
Speaker 1: stick stick around and buy the fight, and they make

1310
01:13:08,560 --> 01:13:11,559
Speaker 1: even more money. And then Mayweather goes on Tuesday with

1311
01:13:11,720 --> 01:13:14,720
Speaker 1: no marks on his face to speak at a Bitcoin conference. No, no,

1312
01:13:14,880 --> 01:13:18,680
Speaker 1: even no black eyes, No punch is taken. Like what

1313
01:13:18,800 --> 01:13:23,080
Speaker 1: a cash crap? That really is amazing. Uh, Floyd Mayweather?

1314
01:13:23,160 --> 01:13:27,839
Speaker 1: Who all right? Coming up next year on Fox Sports Radio.

1316
01:13:32,520 --> 01:13:35,840

1328
01:14:15,360 --> 01:14:17,759
Speaker 1: it feels like just seeing some of these videos in Vegas.

1337
01:14:43,760 --> 01:14:47,200
Speaker 1: um at the one Double A level. Uh. The JMU

1338
01:14:47,240 --> 01:14:50,240
Speaker 1: basketball team recently made the n c A tournament. Um,

1339
01:14:50,360 --> 01:14:52,120

1342
01:14:58,880 --> 01:15:01,000

Speaker 1: up to speed on the you know, women's softball World Series.

1344
01:15:04,600 --> 01:15:07,519
Speaker 1: But where are we? Is it almost done? Like what's happened?

1345
01:15:07,800 --> 01:15:10,120
Speaker 1: I don't even understand, like how many games you gotta play.

1346
01:15:10,120 --> 01:15:12,760
Speaker 1: I don't follow college baseball or softball at all. Yeah,

1347
01:15:12,760 --> 01:15:14,640
Speaker 1: I would have to look into that. Um. I do

1348
01:15:14,720 --> 01:15:17,439
Speaker 1: want to note though, that great crowds for this. Uh well,

1349
01:15:17,439 --> 01:15:20,840
Speaker 1: it's good. Listen, people want to get out and at

1350
01:15:21,080 --> 01:15:23,040
Speaker 1: at least they're not acting like the idiots at NBA

1351
01:15:23,120 --> 01:15:26,120
Speaker 1: games running on the court and doing all that. I'm

1352
01:15:26,120 --> 01:15:28,120
Speaker 1: so glad that that hasn't happened in three days. So

1353
01:15:28,160 --> 01:15:29,720
Speaker 1: now it's like dated, so I don't have to talk

1354
01:15:29,760 --> 01:15:33,160
Speaker 1: about it. Um. You know, the last time I did

1355
01:15:33,160 --> 01:15:34,680
Speaker 1: the show, I was off from World Day weekend. We

1356
01:15:34,680 --> 01:15:36,240
Speaker 1: went up. My old man was in town, so we

1357
01:15:36,280 --> 01:15:39,559
Speaker 1: went out of town and um, yeah, showed him the

1358
01:15:39,600 --> 01:15:43,559
Speaker 1: sights and sounds of Laguna Beach, Dana Point. Just a

1359
01:15:43,560 --> 01:15:48,440
Speaker 1: little excursion if you will. And I will say this, um,

1360
01:15:48,560 --> 01:15:51,640
Speaker 1: I would say, you're gonna love this. We went to

1361
01:15:52,120 --> 01:15:55,400
Speaker 1: a restaurant I think in Dana Point and in l A.

1362
01:15:55,600 --> 01:15:58,160
Speaker 1: If you go to a restaurant, every hostess has a mask,

1363
01:15:58,240 --> 01:16:01,080
Speaker 1: every waiter has a mask, every weight staff mask. Some

1364
01:16:01,160 --> 01:16:02,920
Speaker 1: have the mask followed by the visor, some of the

1365
01:16:02,960 --> 01:16:06,720
Speaker 1: triple mask. Whatever. We roll up to this restaurant. You know,

1366
01:16:06,760 --> 01:16:09,000
Speaker 1: you get out of your car, you bring your mask, hostess,

1367
01:16:09,200 --> 01:16:14,000
Speaker 1: no mask. I look around, I'm like waitress, no mask,

1368
01:16:14,080 --> 01:16:16,360
Speaker 1: And again I don't I don't care. It was just

1369
01:16:16,439 --> 01:16:18,920
Speaker 1: surprising to see being in l A for the last

1370
01:16:18,960 --> 01:16:23,360
Speaker 1: fifteen months, and we've been down to San Diego, we've

1371
01:16:23,400 --> 01:16:25,760
Speaker 1: been I think we might have gone into Mickelar, We've

1372
01:16:25,760 --> 01:16:29,759
Speaker 1: been around this region, Palm Springs. Everybody who works places

1373
01:16:29,880 --> 01:16:32,600
Speaker 1: is massed up this place. Nobody was wearing one, and

1374
01:16:32,800 --> 01:16:35,240
Speaker 1: I was just caught off card. Now again, I particularly

1375
01:16:35,320 --> 01:16:39,360
Speaker 1: don't care. It just felt different. And I would assume

1376
01:16:39,800 --> 01:16:44,080
Speaker 1: people listening to this in Chicago and Alabama and Connecticut wherever,

1377
01:16:44,600 --> 01:16:47,160
Speaker 1: you're just like, oh, that guy sounds like he's living

1378
01:16:47,200 --> 01:16:49,000
Speaker 1: a weird life. Listen, that's what it's like out here

1379
01:16:49,040 --> 01:16:52,720
Speaker 1: in l A. You know, every every morning you got

1380
01:16:52,720 --> 01:16:55,200
Speaker 1: walk into Starbucks, you still got to wear a mask.

1381
01:16:56,840 --> 01:17:00,200
Speaker 1: And one morning I forgot it, and usually they'll give

1382
01:17:00,240 --> 01:17:02,160
Speaker 1: it to you. But we're so at the stage now

1383
01:17:02,160 --> 01:17:06,600
Speaker 1: where it's like, listen, if you're vaccinated now, they don't know.

1384
01:17:06,640 --> 01:17:10,519
Speaker 1: They're not checking vaccination uh passports or whatever they call it,

1385
01:17:10,880 --> 01:17:14,479
Speaker 1: but like by and large, they're not gonna be like, hey,

1386
01:17:14,520 --> 01:17:16,760
Speaker 1: you need to put on a mask now. Final thought

1387
01:17:16,800 --> 01:17:20,040
Speaker 1: on this. Where was I yesterday? Oh? I was in

1388
01:17:20,080 --> 01:17:22,240
Speaker 1: this um like ice cream shop a couple of days

1389
01:17:22,240 --> 01:17:25,240
Speaker 1: ago with my daughter. You know, it's like Wednesday, so

1390
01:17:25,280 --> 01:17:28,400
Speaker 1: we go get ice cream by the beach whatever, and

1391
01:17:28,439 --> 01:17:31,320
Speaker 1: we're you know, you wear a mask. Two people came

1392
01:17:31,360 --> 01:17:34,400
Speaker 1: off the beach into this ice cream shop, no mask,

1393
01:17:34,600 --> 01:17:36,519
Speaker 1: and someone walked up to them and said, excuse me,

1394
01:17:36,560 --> 01:17:38,960
Speaker 1: you need to put on a mask in here. And

1395
01:17:39,120 --> 01:17:41,200
Speaker 1: you know, the lady didn't argue it. She kind of

1396
01:17:41,200 --> 01:17:44,439
Speaker 1: hemmed in hard like and put it on. But it's

1397
01:17:44,479 --> 01:17:47,680
Speaker 1: still listen. L A is very different, guys. I know

1398
01:17:47,760 --> 01:17:49,559
Speaker 1: that you're listening to this all over the country and

1399
01:17:49,560 --> 01:17:52,360
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, my dad was just here. He's

1400
01:17:52,360 --> 01:17:56,559
Speaker 1: in Arizona now and he's texting me, Hey, uh, nobody

1401
01:17:56,560 --> 01:17:59,320
Speaker 1: hears wearing a mask. L A is just strange, you know.

1402
01:17:59,640 --> 01:18:02,639
Speaker 1: And he lives in Florida, so he's used to non

1403
01:18:02,800 --> 01:18:05,679
Speaker 1: mask stuff. But anyways, um, I just thought I would

1404
01:18:05,720 --> 01:18:09,800
Speaker 1: share a fun story with everybody. All Right, best player

1405
01:18:09,800 --> 01:18:14,280
Speaker 1: in the NBA? Uh? Is Isaac seeded in his position?

1406
01:18:14,680 --> 01:18:18,800
Speaker 1: All right? Isaac is seated? Because I just want to

1407
01:18:18,800 --> 01:18:20,599
Speaker 1: make sure if you're gonna fall off your chair, Isaac,

1408
01:18:23,200 --> 01:18:25,559
Speaker 1: I make a claim, and I think there is ample

1409
01:18:25,600 --> 01:18:28,960
Speaker 1: evidence to support this that right now, Luca Donte is

1410
01:18:29,000 --> 01:18:32,240
Speaker 1: the best player in the NBA. He's not gonna in

1411
01:18:32,280 --> 01:18:35,040
Speaker 1: the m v P this year. Okay, he has yet

1412
01:18:35,080 --> 01:18:37,880
Speaker 1: to win a playoff series. But when you look at

1413
01:18:37,960 --> 01:18:40,599
Speaker 1: what the best player is, can score with the best

1414
01:18:40,640 --> 01:18:44,640
Speaker 1: of them, can make other players better, which to me

1415
01:18:44,800 --> 01:18:49,400
Speaker 1: is just enormous. I believe there's nobody that does it

1416
01:18:49,439 --> 01:18:51,759
Speaker 1: better than that than Luca Dodges. And just to clarify,

1417
01:18:51,840 --> 01:18:54,080
Speaker 1: you mean the entire league and not just teams that

1418
01:18:54,120 --> 01:18:57,519
Speaker 1: are still alive. Correct, I don't think that's far fetched

1419
01:18:57,560 --> 01:19:01,799
Speaker 1: at all, firmly rooted on my chair, do you who

1420
01:19:02,000 --> 01:19:05,120
Speaker 1: if you had to argue, who would you pick as

1421
01:19:05,200 --> 01:19:09,280
Speaker 1: a guy that's better than him? Right now? And before

1422
01:19:09,320 --> 01:19:11,080
Speaker 1: you answer, let me just say this, by what I

1423
01:19:11,120 --> 01:19:13,080
Speaker 1: say by best player in the NBA, if you're building

1424
01:19:13,120 --> 01:19:16,320
Speaker 1: a team right now, what player are you starting with

1425
01:19:16,320 --> 01:19:19,559
Speaker 1: with the first overall pick? Because some people would argue

1426
01:19:19,640 --> 01:19:22,160
Speaker 1: Lebron and I'll say, listen, if I'm building a team,

1427
01:19:22,200 --> 01:19:24,000
Speaker 1: I'm not building it around a thirty six year old

1428
01:19:24,040 --> 01:19:26,200
Speaker 1: Lebron is probably a top fift team pick for sure.

1429
01:19:27,040 --> 01:19:28,760
Speaker 1: And again, if the Lakers are healthy and a D

1430
01:19:28,760 --> 01:19:30,680
Speaker 1: doesn't go down, Lakers are in Round two right now.

1431
01:19:31,600 --> 01:19:36,719
Speaker 1: So I'm not pooh pooing Lebron. I'm just saying at two, Luca,

1432
01:19:37,360 --> 01:19:41,960
Speaker 1: Folks like, wake up, this guy has taken over. Who

1433
01:19:41,960 --> 01:19:45,439
Speaker 1: would you have his number? Two? I lo mm hmm.

1434
01:19:49,160 --> 01:19:51,759
Speaker 1: But there you go, because when you're talking about starting

1435
01:19:51,800 --> 01:19:54,599
Speaker 1: a team, all the other guys that you might consider

1436
01:19:54,640 --> 01:19:57,640
Speaker 1: starting a team are either at the tail end of

1437
01:19:57,680 --> 01:20:01,000
Speaker 1: their primes or past their primes or if ad injury issues.

1438
01:20:01,200 --> 01:20:04,000
Speaker 1: So he is kind of in that starting a franchise

1439
01:20:04,160 --> 01:20:14,160
Speaker 1: sweet spot in terms of age. Curry Kauai, you would

1440
01:20:14,160 --> 01:20:18,439
Speaker 1: take you, yeah, yeah. The only problem is, you know

1441
01:20:18,560 --> 01:20:21,320
Speaker 1: he's been We've seen him limited in the playoffs because

1442
01:20:21,320 --> 01:20:23,240
Speaker 1: you can slow him down because he can't shoot the three.

1443
01:20:23,720 --> 01:20:26,679
Speaker 1: We haven't seen anybody stopped Luca don Chi. His numbers

1444
01:20:26,680 --> 01:20:29,360
Speaker 1: against the Clippers in two years are insane. Coming up,

1445
01:20:29,800 --> 01:20:35,400
Speaker 1: Final Hour on Fox Sports Radio, Graduation Advice Time our

1446
01:20:35,920 --> 01:20:40,519
Speaker 1: number three here on Fox Sports Radio, Ladies and Germs.

1447
01:20:40,960 --> 01:20:45,080
Speaker 1: It is high noon on the East Coast, nine am

1448
01:20:45,120 --> 01:20:49,160
Speaker 1: out here in Los Angeles, June is it's one of

1449
01:20:49,160 --> 01:20:53,320
Speaker 1: my favorite months of the year. Really, sports starts slowing down.

1450
01:20:53,400 --> 01:20:56,800
Speaker 1: You can kind of lean back, a lean back like

1451
01:20:56,880 --> 01:20:59,559
Speaker 1: fat Joe, and you know, start to take in the

1452
01:21:00,000 --> 01:21:03,600
Speaker 1: finer moments of summer as it begins. July fourth is

1453
01:21:03,640 --> 01:21:06,519
Speaker 1: kind of the middle of summer, and then August is

1454
01:21:06,600 --> 01:21:09,679
Speaker 1: kind of a melancholy month as you know, it's back

1455
01:21:09,720 --> 01:21:16,040
Speaker 1: to school. Um, it's really slow sports wise, and then

1456
01:21:16,080 --> 01:21:18,400
Speaker 1: you have the good news at football is on the horizon,

1457
01:21:18,439 --> 01:21:21,200
Speaker 1: by the way, interesting stuff Isaac on the Green Bay Packers.

1458
01:21:21,240 --> 01:21:23,640
Speaker 1: I'm just curious, Isaac, what's your read on that. I

1459
01:21:23,720 --> 01:21:25,960
Speaker 1: was listening and I didn't want to go online, but

1460
01:21:27,080 --> 01:21:31,280
Speaker 1: who is Murphy talking to? It's a it's a regular

1461
01:21:31,400 --> 01:21:34,920
Speaker 1: feature that they do each month where he takes questions

1462
01:21:35,000 --> 01:21:39,400
Speaker 1: from Packers fans. It's not exactly you know, heavy duty

1463
01:21:39,439 --> 01:21:42,880
Speaker 1: stuff where he's being interrogated by you know, journalists who

1464
01:21:42,920 --> 01:21:47,360
Speaker 1: cover the league. So it's a routine thing. And here's

1465
01:21:47,400 --> 01:21:50,759
Speaker 1: the here's the fun thing. He's not really saying anything

1466
01:21:51,120 --> 01:21:55,719
Speaker 1: outrageously new, but it's still rather notable. And here here's

1467
01:21:55,960 --> 01:21:58,280
Speaker 1: two parts of what he said that caught my attention.

1468
01:21:58,600 --> 01:22:01,679
Speaker 1: He said the situation we've base with Aaron Rodgers has

1469
01:22:01,920 --> 01:22:06,160
Speaker 1: divided our fan base. That could be just a cliche,

1470
01:22:06,439 --> 01:22:09,000
Speaker 1: but that's not going to stop people like us from

1471
01:22:09,040 --> 01:22:12,759
Speaker 1: interpreting it. He also, in a separate item, a separate

1472
01:22:12,840 --> 01:22:14,679
Speaker 1: question that I didn't have a chance to to mention

1473
01:22:14,760 --> 01:22:18,480
Speaker 1: because of time, he said this, I have tremendous confidence

1474
01:22:18,520 --> 01:22:22,640
Speaker 1: in Packers General Manager Brian Gouda Kunst. In his relatively

1475
01:22:22,720 --> 01:22:26,360
Speaker 1: short tenure as our GM, he has completely turned around

1476
01:22:26,360 --> 01:22:30,280
Speaker 1: the fortunes of our team unquote. So even though that

1477
01:22:30,360 --> 01:22:34,280
Speaker 1: was a separate item, you can still that leaves a

1478
01:22:34,360 --> 01:22:39,519
Speaker 1: lot in terms of interpretation, because everybody knows that the

1479
01:22:39,600 --> 01:22:43,360
Speaker 1: main issue Aaron Rodgers has is with Gouda Kunst. Now,

1480
01:22:43,400 --> 01:22:45,559
Speaker 1: I think the timing is interesting. You said he does

1481
01:22:45,600 --> 01:22:47,960
Speaker 1: this every month. Yeah, yeah, it's it's a regular thing.

1482
01:22:48,000 --> 01:22:49,680
Speaker 1: He did. He did one last month as well. You

1483
01:22:49,720 --> 01:22:51,760
Speaker 1: remember when he did it last month? Was it early

1484
01:22:51,800 --> 01:22:53,439
Speaker 1: in the month? It was early in the month. Was

1485
01:22:53,479 --> 01:22:56,200
Speaker 1: going to say, because June. I think June one is

1486
01:22:56,240 --> 01:23:01,480
Speaker 1: when the cap implications make it so that trading Rogers.

1487
01:23:02,360 --> 01:23:04,000
Speaker 1: You know, if it's gonna happen, it's gonna happen after

1488
01:23:04,080 --> 01:23:07,720
Speaker 1: June one. I didn't know if Um, the timing was

1489
01:23:07,760 --> 01:23:09,960
Speaker 1: such that he was sending a message that guys, guys,

1490
01:23:10,000 --> 01:23:13,040
Speaker 1: chill out. You know, I didn't see any Rogers news

1491
01:23:13,120 --> 01:23:16,719
Speaker 1: yet this week. Um, it sounds like it's all quiet

1492
01:23:16,760 --> 01:23:21,240
Speaker 1: on the home front. But to me, this is you know,

1493
01:23:21,320 --> 01:23:24,120
Speaker 1: and again it's just come out. So I'm just going

1494
01:23:24,120 --> 01:23:27,720
Speaker 1: off first impressions. This is some kind of message to

1495
01:23:28,920 --> 01:23:32,799
Speaker 1: the coaches and the front office guys. Stop talking, Stop

1496
01:23:32,800 --> 01:23:35,960
Speaker 1: answering questions from the media about this. You're just adding

1497
01:23:36,040 --> 01:23:38,760
Speaker 1: fuel to the flame. Because the last time we talked

1498
01:23:38,760 --> 01:23:43,320
Speaker 1: about this, the coaching staff essentially was like, Hey, Aaron Rodgers,

1499
01:23:43,720 --> 01:23:48,080
Speaker 1: we really really want him here. We like the coaching

1500
01:23:48,120 --> 01:23:52,360
Speaker 1: staff is desperate to keep him. La Fleur knows Chucks Man.

1501
01:23:52,439 --> 01:23:55,080
Speaker 1: Everybody thinks I'm good because I've gone to two NFC

1502
01:23:55,160 --> 01:23:57,599
Speaker 1: title games with Rogers. Don't make me have to start

1503
01:23:57,680 --> 01:24:03,599
Speaker 1: Jordan's Love right, And Gouda Kunst is out here trying

1504
01:24:03,600 --> 01:24:06,120
Speaker 1: to like be the guy who's being all tough and

1505
01:24:06,600 --> 01:24:11,519
Speaker 1: talking about Jordan's love and drafting Jordan's love and trading

1506
01:24:11,600 --> 01:24:15,600
Speaker 1: up and and the Rogers era, like Murphy has to

1507
01:24:15,640 --> 01:24:18,439
Speaker 1: figure this out. Um, I don't know, it's tough for me.

1508
01:24:18,479 --> 01:24:20,479
Speaker 1: To get that excited about the NFL right now until

1509
01:24:20,520 --> 01:24:26,360
Speaker 1: something really happens. Um. I did see that Julio Jones,

1510
01:24:26,640 --> 01:24:28,680
Speaker 1: if he's gonna get dealt. Also, June one was like

1511
01:24:28,720 --> 01:24:31,559
Speaker 1: a day where you can start to really think seriously

1512
01:24:31,560 --> 01:24:34,400
Speaker 1: about it. The only thing I heard about Julio Jones.

1513
01:24:34,400 --> 01:24:36,360
Speaker 1: I remember I had gone on Straight Fire and said

1514
01:24:36,360 --> 01:24:40,559
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans are really really in the mix, keep

1515
01:24:40,600 --> 01:24:42,439
Speaker 1: an eye on them. And of course, like two days later,

1516
01:24:42,479 --> 01:24:44,360
Speaker 1: I think Chris Sims came out and was like, oh yeah,

1517
01:24:44,400 --> 01:24:48,360
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans. Um, the other team that I heard is

1518
01:24:48,400 --> 01:24:50,320
Speaker 1: still making headway. And I know this is gonna be

1519
01:24:50,360 --> 01:24:53,919
Speaker 1: difficult for people to comprehend. But the l A rams

1520
01:24:54,920 --> 01:25:00,519
Speaker 1: are seriously interested in Julio Jones and they're working back

1521
01:25:00,600 --> 01:25:03,599
Speaker 1: channels to try to make this happen. Now, Julio keeps

1522
01:25:03,640 --> 01:25:07,160
Speaker 1: saying we're putting out through his you know, reps or

1523
01:25:08,120 --> 01:25:10,720
Speaker 1: whoever in his circle, that he wants a quarterback with

1524
01:25:10,760 --> 01:25:13,280
Speaker 1: a big arm. Kind of a dig at Matt Ryan,

1525
01:25:13,320 --> 01:25:15,920
Speaker 1: who whose arm strength has been questioned in the last

1526
01:25:15,960 --> 01:25:18,479
Speaker 1: couple of years. Well, we all know Matt Stafford has

1527
01:25:18,520 --> 01:25:20,960
Speaker 1: a cannon maybe the best arm in the league. Outside

1528
01:25:20,960 --> 01:25:24,960
Speaker 1: of my homes. And Ryan Tannehill also one of the

1529
01:25:25,000 --> 01:25:28,160
Speaker 1: most accurate deep ball throwers. He just hasn't thrown enough

1530
01:25:28,160 --> 01:25:33,080
Speaker 1: deep passes to qualify. Um, So it just Rams and

1531
01:25:33,160 --> 01:25:35,599
Speaker 1: Titans right now on Julio Jones. But I think this

1532
01:25:35,680 --> 01:25:41,280
Speaker 1: is still like an NBA NBA Time of the year. Um,

1533
01:25:41,320 --> 01:25:44,320
Speaker 1: we haven't really talked a ton about the Clippers since

1534
01:25:44,360 --> 01:25:48,080
Speaker 1: the opening hour? Is it wrong of me that I

1535
01:25:48,160 --> 01:25:51,040
Speaker 1: really want them to lose? Iowa? Sam? Like, I find

1536
01:25:51,080 --> 01:25:55,040
Speaker 1: myself irrationally rooting against When did you become such a

1537
01:25:55,360 --> 01:25:57,559
Speaker 1: Laker fan that you want to see the Clippers demise?

1538
01:25:57,640 --> 01:26:00,280
Speaker 1: So I had The first game I went to as

1539
01:26:00,320 --> 01:26:02,800
Speaker 1: a young kid was Lakers Knicks. We might We had

1540
01:26:02,840 --> 01:26:04,720
Speaker 1: family in New York and we would drive up from

1541
01:26:04,800 --> 01:26:07,479
Speaker 1: Virginia to see the family, and I was like getting

1542
01:26:07,520 --> 01:26:09,960
Speaker 1: to be a basketball fan. I loved it. I played

1543
01:26:09,960 --> 01:26:13,040
Speaker 1: youth basketball and we were able to get tickets and

1544
01:26:13,080 --> 01:26:17,000
Speaker 1: it happened to be Lakers Knicks at the garden. Patrick

1545
01:26:17,080 --> 01:26:19,200
Speaker 1: Ewing was like a rookie. The Knicks were not great

1546
01:26:19,280 --> 01:26:21,479
Speaker 1: before you and got there, so we were able to

1547
01:26:21,520 --> 01:26:24,559
Speaker 1: get tickets and you know, they had magic and Jabbar

1548
01:26:24,840 --> 01:26:26,439
Speaker 1: and it was like Oh my gosh, these guys are

1549
01:26:26,479 --> 01:26:29,240
Speaker 1: playing awesome, fun basketball. So the first game I went

1550
01:26:29,280 --> 01:26:33,840
Speaker 1: to Lakers Nicks, I became fans of both teams. The

1551
01:26:33,960 --> 01:26:37,120
Speaker 1: next year, my dad had his one like work trip

1552
01:26:37,160 --> 01:26:39,559
Speaker 1: of the year was to l A and of course,

1553
01:26:40,200 --> 01:26:42,479
Speaker 1: guess who was in town The Knicks. So we went

1554
01:26:42,520 --> 01:26:44,320
Speaker 1: to the Lakers Knicks again. So I just kind of

1555
01:26:44,320 --> 01:26:49,439
Speaker 1: gravitated towards them. And I know that sounds silly. Oh

1556
01:26:49,479 --> 01:26:53,000
Speaker 1: you bandwagon guy from Virginia liking the Lakers and Knicks. Well,

1557
01:26:53,600 --> 01:26:55,559
Speaker 1: I mean those are the two games I was exposed to.

1558
01:26:55,840 --> 01:26:59,080
Speaker 1: We actually didn't go to Washington Bullets games they were

1559
01:26:59,080 --> 01:27:02,080
Speaker 1: the Bullets back then because d C was like pretty

1560
01:27:02,080 --> 01:27:05,800
Speaker 1: crime ridden. Uh, my dad did not want to go

1561
01:27:05,880 --> 01:27:08,840
Speaker 1: into d C. Yes, I know, New York l a, Listen,

1562
01:27:08,880 --> 01:27:10,360
Speaker 1: this is just what life was like when I was

1563
01:27:10,360 --> 01:27:13,120
Speaker 1: a little kid. Um and so we didn't go to

1564
01:27:13,200 --> 01:27:17,240
Speaker 1: any Bullets games until a few years later. Um and

1565
01:27:17,280 --> 01:27:20,840
Speaker 1: so I gravitated toward Lakers. Obviously. I loved the Nick

1566
01:27:20,960 --> 01:27:25,200
Speaker 1: van Exel, Eddie Jones Lakers, even post magic, Like I

1567
01:27:25,200 --> 01:27:27,240
Speaker 1: I was just such a Nick van Exel fan. He

1568
01:27:27,320 --> 01:27:31,400
Speaker 1: just was flashy. Eddie Jones, the Polar opposite quiet assassin,

1569
01:27:31,479 --> 01:27:36,240
Speaker 1: great defender. Um. I even like like Anthony Peeler Missouri grad.

1570
01:27:37,000 --> 01:27:39,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's a grad Missouri star. At

1571
01:27:39,080 --> 01:27:43,200
Speaker 1: any rate I move out here, Lebron comes out here

1572
01:27:43,680 --> 01:27:47,080
Speaker 1: easy to like the Lakers UM. And then I just

1573
01:27:48,680 --> 01:27:53,000
Speaker 1: I just never was really into the Clippers UM. And

1574
01:27:53,080 --> 01:27:57,160
Speaker 1: so now I'm actively rooting against the Clippers. Partially for

1575
01:27:57,240 --> 01:28:00,720
Speaker 1: gambling reasons, as I bet the Maths to win the series. Uh,

1576
01:28:00,760 --> 01:28:03,080
Speaker 1: and also because I just think it's a better story.

1577
01:28:03,200 --> 01:28:07,880
Speaker 1: If the Clippers go down, the potential for Kauai leaving

1578
01:28:08,240 --> 01:28:10,960
Speaker 1: or Paul George getting traded goes significantly up. And you know,

1579
01:28:11,040 --> 01:28:14,439
Speaker 1: I love content for straight Fire, for this, for FS one,

1580
01:28:14,520 --> 01:28:19,040
Speaker 1: for Fox Sports Digital, anything I do. Clippers losing is better.

1581
01:28:19,520 --> 01:28:23,360
Speaker 1: Like Luca losing not a huge story. Luca's not going anywhere,

1582
01:28:23,360 --> 01:28:30,000
Speaker 1: He's on his rookie deal. Clippers failures becomes interesting. Um.

1583
01:28:30,040 --> 01:28:32,920
Speaker 1: So does that answer your question? I was in, Yes, absolutely,

1584
01:28:32,960 --> 01:28:36,799
Speaker 1: And to the Lakers Knicks point, the Lakers actually managed

1585
01:28:36,800 --> 01:28:39,280
Speaker 1: to win twice as many playoff games this year as

1586
01:28:39,280 --> 01:28:41,120
Speaker 1: a Knicks, So that's saying something. You know, Well, I

1587
01:28:41,160 --> 01:28:43,200
Speaker 1: wonder how bad do you think the league is hurt,

1588
01:28:43,320 --> 01:28:45,800
Speaker 1: Like Nicks were a huge draw with MSG. They hadn't

1589
01:28:45,840 --> 01:28:50,320
Speaker 1: been in the playoffs and I think nearly a decade, Carmelo,

1590
01:28:52,040 --> 01:28:57,840
Speaker 1: so eight years, Um, Knicks out, Lakers out? What's your

1591
01:28:57,840 --> 01:29:00,080
Speaker 1: interest level? I was saving in the playoffs? Like I

1592
01:29:00,080 --> 01:29:04,160
Speaker 1: I'm actually still really invested. Um yeah, what I mean

1593
01:29:04,160 --> 01:29:07,160
Speaker 1: the Knicks? You know they won one playoff game. You

1594
01:29:07,200 --> 01:29:10,640
Speaker 1: know they just weren't meant to last. So who are you?

1595
01:29:10,640 --> 01:29:17,720
Speaker 1: Who are you backing? Um man players? I mean, I

1596
01:29:17,720 --> 01:29:21,160
Speaker 1: still like, really like the Nets to go extremely far,

1597
01:29:21,439 --> 01:29:24,360
Speaker 1: and uh like the Bucks and you know, I think

1598
01:29:24,360 --> 01:29:27,240
Speaker 1: that the Suns are going to do some damage. Ryan.

1599
01:29:27,280 --> 01:29:30,280
Speaker 1: Are you a Lakers guy or Clippers? I I prefer

1600
01:29:30,360 --> 01:29:33,200
Speaker 1: the Lakers. I'm not a huge NBA fan in general,

1601
01:29:33,240 --> 01:29:36,000
Speaker 1: but I want the Lakers to do well now that

1602
01:29:36,040 --> 01:29:39,320
Speaker 1: they're out. I I'm not I wasn't super invested as

1603
01:29:39,320 --> 01:29:41,120
Speaker 1: it was, but I would like to see the Bucks

1604
01:29:41,120 --> 01:29:42,800
Speaker 1: win at all, because I think it would be cool

1605
01:29:42,840 --> 01:29:44,679
Speaker 1: to see honest win one. And I think that they're

1606
01:29:44,680 --> 01:29:46,880
Speaker 1: a fun team to watch. So I'm throwing my sport

1607
01:29:46,920 --> 01:29:50,639
Speaker 1: there some Bucks love. I'm a little surprised at that

1608
01:29:51,200 --> 01:29:56,120
Speaker 1: small market team. Um you want me to tell you

1609
01:29:56,120 --> 01:30:00,160
Speaker 1: guys a funny story. So I have there's this you know,

1610
01:30:00,200 --> 01:30:03,439
Speaker 1: the Milwaukee Bucks owner is this rich guy, but he

1611
01:30:03,479 --> 01:30:05,800
Speaker 1: has his daughter who is in the front row at

1612
01:30:05,800 --> 01:30:08,519
Speaker 1: all the games. She had actually gone to the NBA

1613
01:30:08,760 --> 01:30:13,120
Speaker 1: Draft lottery and like kind of was like went viral

1614
01:30:13,120 --> 01:30:15,360
Speaker 1: on the internet because she was like, you know, young, attractive,

1615
01:30:15,800 --> 01:30:19,360
Speaker 1: um a woman going to represent the team. And so

1616
01:30:19,400 --> 01:30:21,120
Speaker 1: I follow her on Instagram. She's I don't know, like

1617
01:30:21,520 --> 01:30:25,280
Speaker 1: seven whatever. She's like a model, went to Princeton and

1618
01:30:25,320 --> 01:30:29,960
Speaker 1: she's a big Buck supporter. Obviously her dad owns a team.

1619
01:30:30,040 --> 01:30:32,360
Speaker 1: So I tried to get her on the radio show,

1620
01:30:33,200 --> 01:30:39,640
Speaker 1: and she apparently doesn't do interviews, Like what seriously, like

1621
01:30:40,479 --> 01:30:42,720
Speaker 1: not interesting. I mean, if your your dad owns a team,

1622
01:30:42,760 --> 01:30:44,639
Speaker 1: why would you want to talk? But you know, she's

1623
01:30:44,680 --> 01:30:46,160
Speaker 1: I guess she's like a big deal. She got into

1624
01:30:46,160 --> 01:30:50,280
Speaker 1: a thing with Drake last two years ago. Um, you know,

1625
01:30:50,320 --> 01:30:52,920
Speaker 1: because Drake is a Raptors fan and she owned the

1626
01:30:53,000 --> 01:30:55,439
Speaker 1: Bucks and then you know, I guess she made some

1627
01:30:55,479 --> 01:30:59,320
Speaker 1: comments and Drake just destroyed her. And Drake's like mob

1628
01:30:59,439 --> 01:31:03,280
Speaker 1: army of people went after her, you do, right. I

1629
01:31:03,280 --> 01:31:05,960
Speaker 1: don't remember what she said, but they were up to nothing,

1630
01:31:05,960 --> 01:31:09,120
Speaker 1: and she was talking some trash. I think her name

1631
01:31:09,160 --> 01:31:13,160
Speaker 1: is Mallory Eden's and the uh that might not be accurate,

1632
01:31:13,200 --> 01:31:17,080
Speaker 1: but whatever, her dad owns a team, and you know

1633
01:31:17,120 --> 01:31:18,680
Speaker 1: it would be big for the Bucks if they were

1634
01:31:18,720 --> 01:31:22,479
Speaker 1: to pull this off. You know, they was talking about

1635
01:31:22,479 --> 01:31:25,599
Speaker 1: them losing Jannice, with Janice demanded out of town if

1636
01:31:25,600 --> 01:31:28,920
Speaker 1: they don't win something. I mean, imagine telling your team,

1637
01:31:28,920 --> 01:31:31,280
Speaker 1: we need to get better, and then adding Drew Holiday,

1638
01:31:31,320 --> 01:31:34,439
Speaker 1: failing to add Bogdanovich he ended up with the Hawks.

1639
01:31:35,439 --> 01:31:37,800
Speaker 1: And then if you lose to the Nets, like, there's

1640
01:31:37,800 --> 01:31:41,519
Speaker 1: gonna be really no reason to think that the Bucks

1641
01:31:41,520 --> 01:31:44,160
Speaker 1: will get by them next year either because the Nets

1642
01:31:44,200 --> 01:31:49,000
Speaker 1: will be coming back intact. This was just yr one. Um,

1643
01:31:49,040 --> 01:31:53,760
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say, neither are you? Gentlemen mentioned the

1644
01:31:53,760 --> 01:31:57,519
Speaker 1: Atlanta Hawks, and I will say and then Knicks Hawks series.

1645
01:31:57,560 --> 01:32:00,320
Speaker 1: Even though I liked the Knicks a lot, I knew

1646
01:32:00,360 --> 01:32:03,760
Speaker 1: that there regular season would not be sustainable for the playoffs.

1647
01:32:05,320 --> 01:32:08,160
Speaker 1: And watching Trey Young become a villain in front of

1648
01:32:08,200 --> 01:32:12,439
Speaker 1: our eyes, it's kind of awesome. I detected a little

1649
01:32:12,560 --> 01:32:16,360
Speaker 1: Mayweather in him. A showman. It's one thing to put

1650
01:32:16,479 --> 01:32:20,679
Speaker 1: up a game as a scoring machine last year, which

1651
01:32:20,680 --> 01:32:26,920
Speaker 1: he did. It's another entirely to go to Madison Square Garden,

1652
01:32:27,520 --> 01:32:31,040
Speaker 1: rabid crowd, hit the game winning shot in game one,

1653
01:32:31,840 --> 01:32:36,160
Speaker 1: get spit at at game two, dominate game three and four,

1654
01:32:36,720 --> 01:32:38,960
Speaker 1: come back to the garden and close it out by

1655
01:32:39,040 --> 01:32:41,679
Speaker 1: hitting a three late and taking a bow at mid court.

1656
01:32:42,600 --> 01:32:47,439
Speaker 1: Trey Young basically became a star now I knew he was.

1657
01:32:47,680 --> 01:32:50,120
Speaker 1: We knew he was great in college at Oklahoma. Didn't

1658
01:32:50,120 --> 01:32:51,759
Speaker 1: get out of the first round of the NTA Tournament,

1659
01:32:52,600 --> 01:32:55,240
Speaker 1: comes to the NBA, doesn't play a lick of defense.

1660
01:32:55,840 --> 01:32:57,320
Speaker 1: Is just I think he was like second or third

1661
01:32:57,360 --> 01:32:59,840
Speaker 1: in the league and scoring last year, but takes a

1662
01:33:00,000 --> 01:33:03,320
Speaker 1: step back. I love to see the development when a

1663
01:33:03,320 --> 01:33:06,880
Speaker 1: player can do something like that. Like Kevin Love was

1664
01:33:06,960 --> 01:33:10,960
Speaker 1: awesome in Minnesota, Okay, put up huge stats, didn't win.

1665
01:33:11,040 --> 01:33:15,080
Speaker 1: Jack Squad goes to Cleveland, takes a step back, wins

1666
01:33:15,080 --> 01:33:19,639
Speaker 1: the championship. Chris Bosh was an All Star in Toronto

1667
01:33:20,280 --> 01:33:22,439
Speaker 1: twenty four and ten or whatever the numbers were. I

1668
01:33:22,439 --> 01:33:25,240
Speaker 1: think he got out of the first round once, doesn't win.

1669
01:33:25,320 --> 01:33:29,040
Speaker 1: Jack Squat goes to Miami, takes a step back, wins.

1670
01:33:30,800 --> 01:33:33,000
Speaker 1: I like to see that. Sometimes you have to take

1671
01:33:33,040 --> 01:33:38,160
Speaker 1: a step back to take a bigger step forward. Trey

1672
01:33:38,240 --> 01:33:41,680
Speaker 1: Young put up monster numbers last year they didn't win.

1673
01:33:42,439 --> 01:33:44,960
Speaker 1: He takes a bit of a step back. Look at

1674
01:33:45,000 --> 01:33:47,760
Speaker 1: his shot attempts are down, his three point attempts are down.

1675
01:33:48,280 --> 01:33:51,759
Speaker 1: But he's a better player because he's getting everyone else involved.

1676
01:33:53,080 --> 01:33:55,799
Speaker 1: The addition of Clint Capella was a stroke of genius.

1677
01:33:55,840 --> 01:34:00,679
Speaker 1: I mean, Capella looks awesome. And remember Pella was played

1678
01:34:00,720 --> 01:34:03,080
Speaker 1: off the floor by the Warriors when he was in

1679
01:34:03,120 --> 01:34:07,400
Speaker 1: Houston to the point they traded him. Capella was enormous

1680
01:34:07,439 --> 01:34:11,519
Speaker 1: against Randall inside. DeAndre Hunter was great. Remember the former

1681
01:34:11,600 --> 01:34:14,519
Speaker 1: Virginia guy now DeAndre Hunter. For the college hoops fans

1682
01:34:14,520 --> 01:34:17,720
Speaker 1: who listened to the show, you'll remember this. He was

1683
01:34:17,840 --> 01:34:20,800
Speaker 1: hurt and missed the game against I think it was

1684
01:34:20,920 --> 01:34:23,280
Speaker 1: UMBC when they were the sixteen and beat Virginia. The

1685
01:34:23,280 --> 01:34:28,920
Speaker 1: one Hunter come back the next year they win the title. MS.

1686
01:34:29,040 --> 01:34:34,040
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hunter guy is good. You add in Bogdanovich, Lou

1687
01:34:34,080 --> 01:34:38,240
Speaker 1: Williams off the bench. I'm telling you, I didn't even

1688
01:34:38,240 --> 01:34:40,240
Speaker 1: mention John Collins, who was like their second best players

1689
01:34:40,280 --> 01:34:43,400
Speaker 1: during the regular season. He was pretty bad against the Knicks,

1690
01:34:43,960 --> 01:34:46,599
Speaker 1: but that doesn't mean he can't rebound against the against

1691
01:34:46,600 --> 01:34:51,760
Speaker 1: the Sixers. This injury to embiad guys, oh man, I

1692
01:34:51,800 --> 01:34:54,719
Speaker 1: don't know. I'm if I'm a Sixers fan. I'm worried.

1693
01:34:56,280 --> 01:34:58,519
Speaker 1: I'm really nervous. I like Ben Simmons a lot. I

1694
01:34:58,520 --> 01:35:00,400
Speaker 1: think he can lead them. They'll probably end up going small,

1695
01:35:00,640 --> 01:35:04,120
Speaker 1: which means less Capella. But the problem is the Hawks

1696
01:35:04,120 --> 01:35:07,160
Speaker 1: are really really well built. They're kind of warriors like

1697
01:35:07,800 --> 01:35:10,200
Speaker 1: and Okay, you don't want to if em beads out,

1698
01:35:11,120 --> 01:35:14,880
Speaker 1: we won't play capella. Fine, We'll just go small with Collins.

1699
01:35:15,400 --> 01:35:18,320
Speaker 1: Trey Young will bring in Hurder, the little redheaded kid

1700
01:35:18,320 --> 01:35:21,160
Speaker 1: who actually is a nice player. I say little, but

1701
01:35:21,200 --> 01:35:23,400
Speaker 1: he's like six seven. I'm just telling you the Hawks

1702
01:35:23,400 --> 01:35:26,160
Speaker 1: are interesting. I would not be shocked if the Hawks

1703
01:35:26,200 --> 01:35:28,920
Speaker 1: went to the conference finals. If Joel and bead is

1704
01:35:29,000 --> 01:35:32,400
Speaker 1: hurt now, they would get smoked there by the Nets badly.

1705
01:35:34,439 --> 01:35:39,439
Speaker 1: I think they could. Ye, I'm thinking that Bucks matchup interesting,

1706
01:35:39,439 --> 01:35:41,680
Speaker 1: but I would I would definitely pick the Bucks. Bucks

1707
01:35:41,680 --> 01:35:46,320
Speaker 1: Bucks Nets feels like an NBA Finals matchup, really, especially

1708
01:35:46,320 --> 01:35:49,160
Speaker 1: with Lebron and the Lakers out and the Clippers maybe

1709
01:35:49,200 --> 01:35:54,880
Speaker 1: getting bounced right. Coming up next year on Fox Sports Radio,

1710
01:35:55,240 --> 01:35:57,599
Speaker 1: Where do the Lakers go from here? Do they need

1711
01:35:57,680 --> 01:36:01,439
Speaker 1: to make wholesale changes? What do you do with Shrewder

1712
01:36:01,479 --> 01:36:04,800
Speaker 1: and Kuzma? Did you see the Kuzma me my post

1713
01:36:04,840 --> 01:36:08,320
Speaker 1: on Instagram? It was all my stories. It was one

1714
01:36:08,320 --> 01:36:10,800
Speaker 1: of the harshest things I've ever seen. You guys have

1715
01:36:10,880 --> 01:36:12,559
Speaker 1: seen We'll talk about it. We'll talk about it now.

1716
01:36:12,600 --> 01:36:15,519
Speaker 1: It's one of the most brutal memes I've seen of Kuzma.

1717
01:36:15,640 --> 01:36:18,000
Speaker 1: Who people in l A love and then they hate.

1718
01:36:18,040 --> 01:36:22,120
Speaker 1: That's next year on Fox Sports Radio. A Little Fat

1719
01:36:22,200 --> 01:36:32,200
Speaker 1: Joe lean Back, great song. Um. I was just looking

1720
01:36:32,240 --> 01:36:37,000
Speaker 1: at some gambling lines for the NBA games or should

1721
01:36:37,000 --> 01:36:42,840
Speaker 1: I say the NBA game singular today? UM, I don't

1722
01:36:42,880 --> 01:36:47,599
Speaker 1: know any Isaac, if you looked at bucks nets, any

1723
01:36:47,640 --> 01:36:51,360
Speaker 1: thoughts on the game or any player props. I'm not

1724
01:36:52,680 --> 01:36:55,639
Speaker 1: afraid that's where the bets, where the edges are. I mean,

1725
01:36:55,800 --> 01:36:59,519
Speaker 1: you know Kauai has been Kauai, Luca, Reggie Jackson is

1726
01:36:59,600 --> 01:37:03,080
Speaker 1: cash well for me. Um, for what it's worth, Brooklyn

1727
01:37:03,120 --> 01:37:05,679
Speaker 1: opening three and a half up to four. The total

1728
01:37:05,760 --> 01:37:08,200
Speaker 1: has gone down. I don't know why. I mean to

1729
01:37:08,400 --> 01:37:12,360
Speaker 1: forties astronomical. That's putting it a like a one two

1730
01:37:13,600 --> 01:37:19,000
Speaker 1: final um that seems way high um. But from a

1731
01:37:19,040 --> 01:37:21,479
Speaker 1: player prop perspective, I believe the guy to watch, and

1732
01:37:21,479 --> 01:37:24,400
Speaker 1: I wrote this for Fox Sports is Kyrie Irving. We

1733
01:37:24,439 --> 01:37:28,360
Speaker 1: had a guest on earlier who covers the Bucks. His

1734
01:37:28,400 --> 01:37:31,519
Speaker 1: speculation was Middleton on Harden. I don't see that at all.

1735
01:37:32,680 --> 01:37:34,800
Speaker 1: Middleton's just you need him on offense and is he

1736
01:37:34,880 --> 01:37:37,719
Speaker 1: a great defender? No, you want him racking up fouls

1737
01:37:37,720 --> 01:37:42,639
Speaker 1: against Harden. I think you actually kind of um put

1738
01:37:42,680 --> 01:37:46,479
Speaker 1: holiday on Harden and then you just Derek Kyrie Irving,

1739
01:37:46,520 --> 01:37:49,040
Speaker 1: who's not the three point shooter that Harden is. And

1740
01:37:49,080 --> 01:37:51,599
Speaker 1: when Kyrie puts his head down, he's putting up shots,

1741
01:37:53,600 --> 01:37:55,439
Speaker 1: he's going to the rim. He wants to flash and

1742
01:37:55,520 --> 01:37:59,400
Speaker 1: be Uncle Drew and do all that stuff. So I

1743
01:37:59,439 --> 01:38:01,760
Speaker 1: think reads the guy to target. Now. If it's tough

1744
01:38:01,840 --> 01:38:04,080
Speaker 1: to stomach that, especially if you're not a huge Kyrie

1745
01:38:04,160 --> 01:38:07,240
Speaker 1: fan like me, time out calling a time out on myself.

1746
01:38:07,640 --> 01:38:10,600
Speaker 1: I used to be a Kyrie fan. I owned a

1747
01:38:10,760 --> 01:38:14,000
Speaker 1: sick Kyrie throwback burnt orange jersey because I was such

1748
01:38:14,000 --> 01:38:16,280
Speaker 1: a fan. He was fun to watch the Uncle Drew stuff.

1749
01:38:17,479 --> 01:38:20,040
Speaker 1: I don't like the direction he's gone the last couple

1750
01:38:20,040 --> 01:38:24,080
Speaker 1: of years, you know, like demanding a trade away from Lebron.

1751
01:38:24,240 --> 01:38:27,280
Speaker 1: I want to play in Boston. I love Boston. I'm

1752
01:38:27,280 --> 01:38:29,280
Speaker 1: out of Boston. I can't deal with Brad Stevens, like

1753
01:38:29,560 --> 01:38:31,720
Speaker 1: some of the stuff he's pulling in Brooklyn. Not a

1754
01:38:31,760 --> 01:38:34,320
Speaker 1: fan of it. Um. So I'm kind of out on Kyrie.

1755
01:38:34,479 --> 01:38:39,559
Speaker 1: But all money's green and I will gladly cash on

1756
01:38:39,640 --> 01:38:41,599
Speaker 1: Kyrie props if I can get my hands on him.

1757
01:38:42,040 --> 01:38:45,280
Speaker 1: I think the bucks. I think p J Tucker over

1758
01:38:45,479 --> 01:38:47,680
Speaker 1: three pointers, Like, take a look, see what see what

1759
01:38:47,720 --> 01:38:49,120
Speaker 1: you can get if you can get half a three

1760
01:38:49,120 --> 01:38:51,600
Speaker 1: pointer for p J Tucker, take the over if you

1761
01:38:51,600 --> 01:38:53,040
Speaker 1: can get one and a half. I think you gotta

1762
01:38:53,040 --> 01:38:55,040
Speaker 1: look at the number, uh, you know, if there's any

1763
01:38:55,080 --> 01:38:58,040
Speaker 1: juice attached to it. But player props or have been

1764
01:38:58,040 --> 01:39:00,840
Speaker 1: pretty good to me. I just sides are killing me

1765
01:39:00,840 --> 01:39:03,320
Speaker 1: because I bet a lot of underdogs and the favorites

1766
01:39:03,320 --> 01:39:09,160
Speaker 1: are crushing It's just like damn rough Um. What was

1767
01:39:09,200 --> 01:39:10,800
Speaker 1: the other topic I was gonna get into, Ryan, I

1768
01:39:10,840 --> 01:39:16,280
Speaker 1: forgot to write it down. You know what, I don't

1769
01:39:16,320 --> 01:39:20,679
Speaker 1: recall your your teeth, to be honest, Ryan, on the ball,

1770
01:39:22,280 --> 01:39:24,839
Speaker 1: but we do have a guest coming up. He's always combative.

1771
01:39:24,880 --> 01:39:27,800
Speaker 1: I'm going to save the name and not mention it

1772
01:39:27,840 --> 01:39:33,280
Speaker 1: to you guys, but five minutes away we'll get into it. Um. Yeah,

1773
01:39:33,320 --> 01:39:37,040
Speaker 1: I forgot what we were talking about. Um, I'm watching

1774
01:39:37,080 --> 01:39:41,120
Speaker 1: this USA Honduras soccer match. This appears to be live,

1775
01:39:41,240 --> 01:39:45,400
Speaker 1: isn't it. Or maybe it happened last night. I don't know,

1776
01:39:45,880 --> 01:39:49,000
Speaker 1: but us it's like it's dominating this game. He can't

1777
01:39:49,040 --> 01:39:54,800
Speaker 1: beat Honduras. Oh that's right, thank you. Okay, yeah, I

1778
01:39:54,840 --> 01:39:56,639
Speaker 1: was buying time there. Did you see what I did there?

1779
01:39:56,720 --> 01:40:00,200
Speaker 1: That's professional radio stuff. Um, what should the lake Ers

1780
01:40:00,240 --> 01:40:04,320
Speaker 1: do this offseason? And everybody in their mom is going

1781
01:40:04,360 --> 01:40:06,000
Speaker 1: to say, well, they kid, they're capped out. They can't

1782
01:40:06,040 --> 01:40:10,320
Speaker 1: do anything that can make moves. Like, guys, there's a

1783
01:40:10,400 --> 01:40:14,639
Speaker 1: reason they're paying capologists in the NBA like five dollars

1784
01:40:14,640 --> 01:40:18,240
Speaker 1: a year. This is your job to figure it out.

1785
01:40:18,400 --> 01:40:22,400
Speaker 1: Get us out of this pickle. Now. The eternal optimist

1786
01:40:22,479 --> 01:40:27,600
Speaker 1: in me, remember my optimist pessimist story. Is an optimist

1787
01:40:27,920 --> 01:40:30,679
Speaker 1: and a pessimist go into the jungle hundreds of years ago,

1788
01:40:32,280 --> 01:40:34,840
Speaker 1: and the pessimist says, man, I think I just heard

1789
01:40:34,880 --> 01:40:38,360
Speaker 1: a lion. Shucks, we better get out of here, and

1790
01:40:38,400 --> 01:40:41,719
Speaker 1: the optimist says, come on, it wasn't a lion. We're fine.

1791
01:40:42,439 --> 01:40:44,280
Speaker 1: Pessimist says, all right, I'm out. I'll see you back

1792
01:40:44,280 --> 01:40:50,519
Speaker 1: at camp. The optimist never returns. We're born pessimist people,

1793
01:40:50,680 --> 01:40:54,479
Speaker 1: we just are. I mostly I am a pessimist. I'm

1794
01:40:54,520 --> 01:40:58,639
Speaker 1: starting to turn the corner. But the optimist Laker fan says,

1795
01:40:58,680 --> 01:41:02,920
Speaker 1: hey man, we were up to one with a D.

1796
01:41:04,560 --> 01:41:07,800
Speaker 1: Were good. We win that series of A D is healthy.

1797
01:41:08,000 --> 01:41:13,200
Speaker 1: Nobody's chirping about anything. We got a D. But without

1798
01:41:13,280 --> 01:41:19,040
Speaker 1: a D everything got exposed. Caruso has no offense. Shrewder

1799
01:41:19,280 --> 01:41:25,040
Speaker 1: not a number two. He's a fine number three. I

1800
01:41:25,840 --> 01:41:28,680
Speaker 1: k c p like was the number three player on

1801
01:41:28,720 --> 01:41:31,320
Speaker 1: the team in the bubble. I mean he had no

1802
01:41:31,439 --> 01:41:36,360
Speaker 1: offense in the playoffs. Kuzma absolute train wreck. I joked

1803
01:41:36,400 --> 01:41:40,880
Speaker 1: on Undisputed that I trust Kyle Kuzuma as much as

1804
01:41:40,880 --> 01:41:44,160
Speaker 1: I trust the WiFi in my basement. Everybody got a

1805
01:41:44,160 --> 01:41:49,000
Speaker 1: good laugh. The problem is it was accurate. But can

1806
01:41:49,040 --> 01:41:52,519
Speaker 1: you ship them out of town? I have the trade,

1807
01:41:54,080 --> 01:41:56,080
Speaker 1: but it's going to take the part of Bradley Beale

1808
01:41:57,360 --> 01:42:02,840
Speaker 1: or someone else saying I want out and I only

1809
01:42:02,840 --> 01:42:06,280
Speaker 1: want to go to the Lakers. Now he is Bradley

1810
01:42:06,280 --> 01:42:08,200
Speaker 1: Bell willing to do that and be the bad guy

1811
01:42:08,240 --> 01:42:13,000
Speaker 1: and put that hat on and act like a jerk. Well,

1812
01:42:13,280 --> 01:42:16,920
Speaker 1: James Harden got what he wanted. He's in position to

1813
01:42:16,960 --> 01:42:21,519
Speaker 1: win a championship. Anthony Davis, God what he wanted. He

1814
01:42:21,680 --> 01:42:24,960
Speaker 1: won a championship. Sometimes you gotta be a jerk to

1815
01:42:25,000 --> 01:42:29,200
Speaker 1: get what you want. Does Bradley Beal want to win

1816
01:42:29,280 --> 01:42:30,840
Speaker 1: or does he want to deal with? You know, first

1817
01:42:30,920 --> 01:42:35,120
Speaker 1: round outstairs with Scotty Brooks and Russell Westbrook. Although my

1818
01:42:35,240 --> 01:42:40,360
Speaker 1: main man, Ruey Hachimura was awesome in that series against

1819
01:42:40,360 --> 01:42:43,080
Speaker 1: the Sixers. I'm telling he's good, and I also like

1820
01:42:43,160 --> 01:42:46,160
Speaker 1: saying his name. You know, they call him the Japanese Jordan,

1821
01:42:46,320 --> 01:42:49,400
Speaker 1: right um, Ruey Hachimura. At any rate, we got a

1822
01:42:49,400 --> 01:42:51,759
Speaker 1: guess coming up. But I think the deal is Bradley

1823
01:42:51,760 --> 01:42:54,240
Speaker 1: Belle says, I'm going I want out and I want

1824
01:42:54,240 --> 01:42:56,160
Speaker 1: to only go to the Lakers. So nobody else trade

1825
01:42:56,200 --> 01:42:57,679
Speaker 1: for me because I'm not going to sign with you

1826
01:42:59,280 --> 01:43:02,439
Speaker 1: and the Whiz take something along the lines of Hill

1827
01:43:02,439 --> 01:43:06,479
Speaker 1: Norton Tucker a twenty first round pick, like four years

1828
01:43:06,479 --> 01:43:08,120
Speaker 1: from now, when the Lakers can give up one or

1829
01:43:08,160 --> 01:43:13,120
Speaker 1: it's five years from now, Kuzma and Shrewder. I know

1830
01:43:13,200 --> 01:43:15,519
Speaker 1: that you're gonna say that's a poopoo platter. Maybe Ryan

1831
01:43:15,560 --> 01:43:17,439
Speaker 1: Hollins will like it, and I'll talk him into it.

1832
01:43:17,520 --> 01:43:22,320
Speaker 1: That's next here. But first, here's Isaac Loewenron this trending

1833
01:43:23,000 --> 01:43:27,320
Speaker 1: Jason This morning. Green Bay Packers president Mark Murphy published

1834
01:43:27,320 --> 01:43:30,720
Speaker 1: his monthly Q and A on the Packers official website

1835
01:43:31,040 --> 01:43:35,160
Speaker 1: and wrote, quote, the situation we faced with Aaron Rodgers

1836
01:43:35,200 --> 01:43:38,839
Speaker 1: has divided our fan base. We remain committed to resolving

1837
01:43:38,880 --> 01:43:41,519
Speaker 1: things with Aaron and want him to be our quarterback

1838
01:43:41,600 --> 01:43:46,040
Speaker 1: in and beyond. We are working to resolve the situation

1839
01:43:46,120 --> 01:43:51,800
Speaker 1: and realize that the less both sides say publicly the better. Unquote.

1840
01:43:52,360 --> 01:43:54,360
Speaker 1: In a separate item in the same Q and A,

1841
01:43:54,479 --> 01:43:58,599
Speaker 1: Murphy road quote, I have tremendous confidence and Packers General

1842
01:43:58,640 --> 01:44:03,240
Speaker 1: Manager Brian the Kunst. In his relatively short tenure as

1843
01:44:03,280 --> 01:44:07,000
Speaker 1: our GM, he has completely turned around the fortunes of

1844
01:44:07,040 --> 01:44:11,720
Speaker 1: our team. Unquote. In the NBA, the Portland's Trailblazers and

1845
01:44:11,800 --> 01:44:15,559
Speaker 1: head coach Terry Stotts mutually agreed to part ways Friday

1846
01:44:15,640 --> 01:44:20,040
Speaker 1: night after nine seasons. Trailblazers star Damian Lillard told Chris

1847
01:44:20,040 --> 01:44:24,240
Speaker 1: Hanes Yahoo Sports on Friday night that Lakers assistant Jason

1848
01:44:24,400 --> 01:44:28,959
Speaker 1: Kidd quote is the guy I want unquote to succeed.

1849
01:44:29,080 --> 01:44:32,080
Speaker 1: Stotts got it up. Tonight. Round two of the playoffs

1850
01:44:32,080 --> 01:44:34,560
Speaker 1: tips off at seven thirty Eastern with Game one of

1851
01:44:34,600 --> 01:44:38,200
Speaker 1: the Eastern Conference Semifinals as the Brooklyn Nets hosts the

1852
01:44:38,280 --> 01:44:42,160
Speaker 1: Milwaukee Bucks. Jason back to you, Thank you, Isaac back

1853
01:44:42,200 --> 01:44:45,559
Speaker 1: here on Fox Sports Radio. It's me Jason McIntyre and

1854
01:44:45,600 --> 01:44:48,439
Speaker 1: the next guest we're bringing in. He's always combative, okay.

1855
01:44:48,600 --> 01:44:51,800
Speaker 1: He played for the Mavericks, not with Luca, played for

1856
01:44:51,920 --> 01:44:54,439
Speaker 1: u C l A play. He's played on a lot

1857
01:44:54,479 --> 01:44:57,440
Speaker 1: of teens. He made a lot of money playing in basketball.

1858
01:44:58,040 --> 01:45:00,920
Speaker 1: Ryan Hollins joining us down. Ryan, what's up, my main man?

1859
01:45:01,680 --> 01:45:04,120
Speaker 1: What's going on? Rather? You know, life is good. I'm

1860
01:45:04,160 --> 01:45:06,720
Speaker 1: floating Laker trades that everybody and their mom hates, but

1861
01:45:06,840 --> 01:45:10,479
Speaker 1: that's you know, that's part of the business. Um. Before

1862
01:45:10,479 --> 01:45:12,800
Speaker 1: we get to the Lakers um and put a bow

1863
01:45:12,880 --> 01:45:15,120
Speaker 1: in their season, I need to ask you game six.

1864
01:45:16,360 --> 01:45:19,080
Speaker 1: I've said Luca Dante is the best player in this series.

1865
01:45:19,200 --> 01:45:21,080
Speaker 1: He was the best player in the series last year.

1866
01:45:21,800 --> 01:45:23,400
Speaker 1: What the hell was he doing in the fourth quarter

1867
01:45:23,640 --> 01:45:26,439
Speaker 1: passing when he should have been going Kawhi Leonard on

1868
01:45:26,600 --> 01:45:32,040
Speaker 1: Kawhi Leonard. Well, the truth is, the Clippers have found

1869
01:45:32,080 --> 01:45:34,439
Speaker 1: out how to guard Luca, how to make life tough

1870
01:45:34,479 --> 01:45:38,160
Speaker 1: for Luca. You know, it just took a while. And Jay,

1871
01:45:38,200 --> 01:45:39,680
Speaker 1: I don't know if you you know you heard me

1872
01:45:39,720 --> 01:45:42,240
Speaker 1: say it at all, but I think that their Clippers

1873
01:45:42,240 --> 01:45:44,840
Speaker 1: are the best team in the Western Conference and they

1874
01:45:44,880 --> 01:45:48,000
Speaker 1: finally found something a defense in the fourth quarter, even

1875
01:45:48,040 --> 01:45:50,759
Speaker 1: though it was a loss of the last game for Luca,

1876
01:45:51,240 --> 01:45:53,719
Speaker 1: and at some point he does get worn down. He

1877
01:45:53,720 --> 01:45:56,479
Speaker 1: he is human. There's a lot that has been asked

1878
01:45:56,520 --> 01:45:59,960
Speaker 1: of him. So I don't think it was anything uncharacteristic,

1879
01:46:00,000 --> 01:46:02,759
Speaker 1: excite and characteristic. I think just it took a while.

1880
01:46:02,840 --> 01:46:05,559
Speaker 1: But Tyler hats off to him. He found a way

1881
01:46:05,560 --> 01:46:09,120
Speaker 1: to keep length on Himai starting off as a primary

1882
01:46:09,160 --> 01:46:12,360
Speaker 1: defender and they had a lot of success on him.

1883
01:46:12,360 --> 01:46:15,840
Speaker 1: Oh jeez, another Tyler guy. All these former players love

1884
01:46:15,960 --> 01:46:18,840
Speaker 1: Tylu He's such a genius with the adjustments. Let me

1885
01:46:18,920 --> 01:46:23,080
Speaker 1: just remind you, Mr Hollins, Luca don Che is averaging

1886
01:46:23,400 --> 01:46:28,479
Speaker 1: thirty four, nine and eight in the series. Okay, shooting

1887
01:46:28,560 --> 01:46:32,519
Speaker 1: forty seven percent from three in the series last night

1888
01:46:33,080 --> 01:46:35,280
Speaker 1: held to twenty nine. And yes, you are correct, he

1889
01:46:35,280 --> 01:46:38,479
Speaker 1: has struggled in the fourth quarter. But is that because

1890
01:46:38,479 --> 01:46:40,800
Speaker 1: of Luca and the defense or because look around he

1891
01:46:40,840 --> 01:46:44,320
Speaker 1: don't have any help. Oh, it's clearly because he doesn't

1892
01:46:44,320 --> 01:46:46,360
Speaker 1: have help. You know, Luca is a guy right now,

1893
01:46:46,479 --> 01:46:48,640
Speaker 1: if you take a good look at him, dude, he

1894
01:46:49,760 --> 01:46:54,120
Speaker 1: man's It's obviously everybody wants to compare him with Larry Bird.

1895
01:46:54,240 --> 01:46:56,639
Speaker 1: He's more of Lebron, you know, just to be honest,

1896
01:46:56,720 --> 01:46:59,280
Speaker 1: obviously take away the athleticism, but with the ability to

1897
01:46:59,320 --> 01:47:02,560
Speaker 1: score the fast football, he's just he's the the unathletic

1898
01:47:02,600 --> 01:47:05,519
Speaker 1: skilled Lebrons. I know that maybe a odd being for

1899
01:47:05,560 --> 01:47:08,240
Speaker 1: people to wrap their heads around, but in the sense

1900
01:47:08,280 --> 01:47:12,360
Speaker 1: of controlling a game, there's I don't know if there's

1901
01:47:12,400 --> 01:47:15,200
Speaker 1: another player in the league that can control the game

1902
01:47:15,680 --> 01:47:17,960
Speaker 1: like luc and Lebron right now. As far as start

1903
01:47:18,040 --> 01:47:21,519
Speaker 1: to finish, James Harden I may say in the regular season,

1904
01:47:21,560 --> 01:47:24,400
Speaker 1: we hadn't seen it in the postseason, and you know, Luca,

1905
01:47:24,560 --> 01:47:26,640
Speaker 1: he hasn't gotten out there, well, he hasn't gotten out

1906
01:47:26,640 --> 01:47:28,519
Speaker 1: the first round, So we don't necessarily want to go

1907
01:47:28,560 --> 01:47:31,840
Speaker 1: wild there. But you've seen in flashes at his young

1908
01:47:31,880 --> 01:47:34,639
Speaker 1: age what he's doing and what he's gonna be able

1909
01:47:34,680 --> 01:47:39,200
Speaker 1: to do. So look, man, he's special, and you're absolutely

1910
01:47:39,280 --> 01:47:42,120
Speaker 1: right he does need some help. Rick Carlisle, and that

1911
01:47:42,240 --> 01:47:47,000
Speaker 1: system is placed for Luca to literally do everything, do

1912
01:47:47,120 --> 01:47:49,880
Speaker 1: any and everything, and he's doing it. But you're right,

1913
01:47:49,920 --> 01:47:52,080
Speaker 1: he needs help. Tomorrow Away Jr. Is a heck of

1914
01:47:52,080 --> 01:47:53,360
Speaker 1: a player. I don't know if they'll be able to

1915
01:47:53,400 --> 01:47:56,000
Speaker 1: afford his price. Tank is probably gonna get a boatload

1916
01:47:56,360 --> 01:47:59,639
Speaker 1: of money somewhere else. But you know, Luca is he's

1917
01:47:59,680 --> 01:48:02,800
Speaker 1: just he's a different type of talent man, But he

1918
01:48:03,000 --> 01:48:05,040
Speaker 1: needs help. And if he had help, if he had

1919
01:48:05,120 --> 01:48:08,400
Speaker 1: him a Paul George and you know Mark keep Moore's

1920
01:48:08,479 --> 01:48:12,040
Speaker 1: and all that, it will be a different theory indeed. Um,

1921
01:48:12,320 --> 01:48:16,200
Speaker 1: so obviously Kauai was outstanding. I just want to ask you, Hollands,

1922
01:48:16,200 --> 01:48:18,920
Speaker 1: you played I think for the Clippers for a minute, Um,

1923
01:48:19,920 --> 01:48:22,880
Speaker 1: what is the deal with these afternoon games? All I

1924
01:48:22,960 --> 01:48:25,880
Speaker 1: keep hearing from Clipper Darryl and all these Clipper fans

1925
01:48:26,439 --> 01:48:29,360
Speaker 1: we can't win afternoon games? Were stink in afternoon games.

1926
01:48:29,720 --> 01:48:32,599
Speaker 1: Game seven's in the afternoon. Are they going a man

1927
01:48:32,720 --> 01:48:35,479
Speaker 1: up here and get a win or is there really

1928
01:48:35,520 --> 01:48:37,400
Speaker 1: something to it now. I haven't seen the data on

1929
01:48:37,560 --> 01:48:39,720
Speaker 1: why they're bad in the afternoon or what their record is,

1930
01:48:39,880 --> 01:48:42,040
Speaker 1: but apparently last couple of years they just stink in

1931
01:48:42,080 --> 01:48:46,120
Speaker 1: the afternoon. I'm not gonna make anything more of it.

1932
01:48:46,160 --> 01:48:48,800
Speaker 1: I'm a former player. I hated afternoon game. It's just

1933
01:48:48,880 --> 01:48:51,320
Speaker 1: kind of a way of life. It just it is

1934
01:48:51,360 --> 01:48:54,360
Speaker 1: what it is, because you you get thrown out of

1935
01:48:54,400 --> 01:48:58,400
Speaker 1: your routine. You know, you know you got a nine

1936
01:48:58,479 --> 01:49:01,200
Speaker 1: or ten am shoot around. You know, you can sneak

1937
01:49:01,240 --> 01:49:03,679
Speaker 1: in a two or three our nap or whatever someone

1938
01:49:03,760 --> 01:49:06,160
Speaker 1: likes to do it between there, and then you can

1939
01:49:06,200 --> 01:49:09,160
Speaker 1: go out and and take care of business at seven o'clock.

1940
01:49:09,200 --> 01:49:12,559
Speaker 1: So you know, those late games really throw your rhythm off.

1941
01:49:12,560 --> 01:49:14,559
Speaker 1: It's something you gotta get used to. But you know,

1942
01:49:14,600 --> 01:49:18,360
Speaker 1: the Clippers are in these primetime games now, so yeah, there,

1943
01:49:18,600 --> 01:49:20,760
Speaker 1: you're you're gonna have some early games or t The

1944
01:49:20,840 --> 01:49:23,760
Speaker 1: TV schedules are gonna mix and throw things around. So

1945
01:49:24,880 --> 01:49:28,160
Speaker 1: I'm not rolling with the excuse. Yeah, I mean, it's

1946
01:49:28,200 --> 01:49:31,280
Speaker 1: not like the Math. You know the Mad Game too,

1947
01:49:31,400 --> 01:49:34,920
Speaker 1: you know, So give me your pick for game seven

1948
01:49:34,920 --> 01:49:36,960
Speaker 1: before we get onto the real light team, the Lakers.

1949
01:49:38,000 --> 01:49:41,320
Speaker 1: I'm going I'm going with the Clippers, man, and like,

1950
01:49:41,400 --> 01:49:43,400
Speaker 1: and you heard me say it earlier. The Clippers are

1951
01:49:43,400 --> 01:49:46,160
Speaker 1: the best team in the Western Conference and even and

1952
01:49:46,200 --> 01:49:49,160
Speaker 1: I and I listened, Jason, you know me, I called

1953
01:49:49,160 --> 01:49:52,679
Speaker 1: it when they were down three too. And honestly, Luca

1954
01:49:52,760 --> 01:49:55,760
Speaker 1: is just a horrific matchup for them. Luka, it is

1955
01:49:55,800 --> 01:50:00,240
Speaker 1: a horrible matchup for Luca. Okay, you know ups them

1956
01:50:00,320 --> 01:50:03,400
Speaker 1: is Mr Yokich who owned them last year in the playoffs.

1957
01:50:03,400 --> 01:50:05,880
Speaker 1: Now we had Jamal Murray as a wing man. Nevertheless,

1958
01:50:05,920 --> 01:50:08,479
Speaker 1: that's enough Clipper talk. People hate this Clippers team. Did

1959
01:50:08,479 --> 01:50:11,200
Speaker 1: you notice that? By the way, Ryan, people like don't

1960
01:50:11,280 --> 01:50:15,120
Speaker 1: like the Clippers. Their ratings are nothing. Nationally people like

1961
01:50:15,240 --> 01:50:18,439
Speaker 1: don't like this Kauai Paul George tandem. Kauhi is not

1962
01:50:18,479 --> 01:50:23,519
Speaker 1: that likable, is he. No, I'm not gonna say Kauai

1963
01:50:23,520 --> 01:50:26,680
Speaker 1: is not likable. Wau I just chooses not to be marketable.

1964
01:50:26,760 --> 01:50:30,160
Speaker 1: There's a difference. People like Kauai. He just chooses not

1965
01:50:30,360 --> 01:50:33,280
Speaker 1: to you know, get his lebron on. You know, he's

1966
01:50:33,280 --> 01:50:35,840
Speaker 1: he doesn't care about the attention. He's he's only more

1967
01:50:35,880 --> 01:50:39,519
Speaker 1: intriguing basketball players I've ever played against, never seen, you know,

1968
01:50:39,560 --> 01:50:42,639
Speaker 1: normally those guys get out of even Kobe at some point,

1969
01:50:43,080 --> 01:50:45,720
Speaker 1: you know, chose to market himself and Kobe wouldn't, you know,

1970
01:50:45,960 --> 01:50:48,719
Speaker 1: a big talk. But Kobe like to have fun. First.

1971
01:50:49,000 --> 01:50:51,720
Speaker 1: Kauai is just anti everything, and maybe I can't even

1972
01:50:51,720 --> 01:50:53,560
Speaker 1: say it's to San Antonio way at this point. This

1973
01:50:53,720 --> 01:50:59,080
Speaker 1: it's just Kauai. Man. I've never seen you know, Ryan.

1974
01:50:59,160 --> 01:51:02,120
Speaker 1: You know, in in our media space, it's best to

1975
01:51:02,160 --> 01:51:04,840
Speaker 1: be loved or hated. You don't want to be in between. Right,

1976
01:51:04,920 --> 01:51:07,760
Speaker 1: that's like the unhealthy middle. You know, you could say

1977
01:51:07,800 --> 01:51:09,799
Speaker 1: that you're in the middle. You're like the Portland Trailblazers.

1978
01:51:09,840 --> 01:51:13,080
Speaker 1: People are just like, oh they exist. But Trey Young

1979
01:51:13,200 --> 01:51:15,439
Speaker 1: kind of gets it. Oh I'm gonna act up in

1980
01:51:15,479 --> 01:51:18,439
Speaker 1: Madison Square Garden. Oh yeah, that's what I'm And now

1981
01:51:18,600 --> 01:51:22,120
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, Trey Young's profile is raised. Kauai

1982
01:51:22,320 --> 01:51:24,280
Speaker 1: just not really doing that. All right, Let's finally move

1983
01:51:24,360 --> 01:51:27,200
Speaker 1: to the Lakers um. First of all, are we in

1984
01:51:27,240 --> 01:51:29,960
Speaker 1: agreement if Anthony Davis does not go down, the Lakers

1985
01:51:29,960 --> 01:51:34,400
Speaker 1: win that series in five maybe six, Absolutely, I absolutely

1986
01:51:34,400 --> 01:51:36,720
Speaker 1: agree to that. And then no questionnaire go ahead. So

1987
01:51:36,880 --> 01:51:40,160
Speaker 1: if that is true, do they need to do anything

1988
01:51:40,520 --> 01:51:43,960
Speaker 1: in this offseason or or can they stand pat and

1989
01:51:43,960 --> 01:51:49,120
Speaker 1: they're all right, No, I wouldn't stand pat um. I

1990
01:51:49,160 --> 01:51:51,439
Speaker 1: think they get by them. But they're getting a fricking

1991
01:51:51,479 --> 01:51:54,519
Speaker 1: seed and pick and roll coverage and you got you

1992
01:51:54,640 --> 01:51:58,559
Speaker 1: got guys out there that just float. Uh Dennis Shoulder

1993
01:51:59,600 --> 01:52:03,080
Speaker 1: like Mike Id like why reinvent the will man did

1994
01:52:03,200 --> 01:52:05,800
Speaker 1: to not be a sixth man and that he wasn't

1995
01:52:05,840 --> 01:52:08,040
Speaker 1: coming off the bench, and you know he knows his

1996
01:52:08,240 --> 01:52:11,000
Speaker 1: value and all this and that, but it's like, dude,

1997
01:52:11,080 --> 01:52:14,599
Speaker 1: you are great as a sixth man and as a starter,

1998
01:52:14,800 --> 01:52:18,439
Speaker 1: it's not working out. It is Look Dennis Schroder as

1999
01:52:18,479 --> 01:52:20,559
Speaker 1: a starting point guard in the league, it's just not

2000
01:52:20,680 --> 01:52:24,000
Speaker 1: a good thing. Candy starting moments, yes, but there's some

2001
01:52:24,160 --> 01:52:27,080
Speaker 1: great six man and I don't know, maybe he I

2002
01:52:27,080 --> 01:52:29,840
Speaker 1: think he. I know he lost money, he lost money

2003
01:52:29,920 --> 01:52:33,639
Speaker 1: trying to get outside of his and and something else,

2004
01:52:33,680 --> 01:52:37,000
Speaker 1: and I just I don't agree to it. But uh no,

2005
01:52:37,280 --> 01:52:39,360
Speaker 1: this this Laker's lineup has to shake up. I'm not

2006
01:52:39,400 --> 01:52:42,800
Speaker 1: sure if you saw magic. Hopefully I'm quoting it wrong

2007
01:52:42,840 --> 01:52:49,280
Speaker 1: and saying, hey, Dennis Schroders not a lake up guy,

2008
01:52:50,280 --> 01:52:57,120
Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken nothing, And I was wondering that

2009
01:52:57,120 --> 01:52:59,000
Speaker 1: they just seemed like a lot. It seems like a lot.

2010
01:52:59,040 --> 01:53:00,640
Speaker 1: Don't quote me on it, don't. I don't know what

2011
01:53:00,680 --> 01:53:03,120
Speaker 1: we're saying on there's maybe someone's going fact check for me,

2012
01:53:04,120 --> 01:53:07,320
Speaker 1: but maybe it may not be a true statement. I'm

2013
01:53:07,360 --> 01:53:10,720
Speaker 1: sure the people are thinking it's you know, I think

2014
01:53:10,760 --> 01:53:12,680
Speaker 1: he lost himself a lot of money man. But if

2015
01:53:12,680 --> 01:53:14,160
Speaker 1: he doesn't want to be a six man, I think

2016
01:53:14,160 --> 01:53:17,599
Speaker 1: he needs to move on atload of money somewhere else.

2017
01:53:17,600 --> 01:53:20,200
Speaker 1: All right, go get paid. Here's an easy fix for

2018
01:53:20,240 --> 01:53:23,120
Speaker 1: the Lakers. Bradley Beale, who did not want to commit

2019
01:53:23,200 --> 01:53:24,840
Speaker 1: to the Wiz this week. I'm sure you saw that

2020
01:53:24,880 --> 01:53:29,679
Speaker 1: in the quotes. Okay, he's unrestricted after next season. Bradley

2021
01:53:29,680 --> 01:53:33,120
Speaker 1: Beale says, I want out. I want to be a Laker. Okay.

2022
01:53:33,240 --> 01:53:34,840
Speaker 1: We've heard Kaua I say I want to go to

2023
01:53:35,000 --> 01:53:37,400
Speaker 1: l A. We've heard Anthony Davis say I want to

2024
01:53:37,400 --> 01:53:40,599
Speaker 1: go there. We've heard uh, you know, James Harden said

2025
01:53:40,640 --> 01:53:42,320
Speaker 1: I want out. I only want to go. You know,

2026
01:53:42,600 --> 01:53:45,280
Speaker 1: when these stars ask out and they say they want

2027
01:53:45,280 --> 01:53:47,759
Speaker 1: to go places, a lot of teams are not willing

2028
01:53:47,840 --> 01:53:50,600
Speaker 1: to take a chance on the rental. Toronto did and

2029
01:53:50,640 --> 01:53:53,080
Speaker 1: it worked out and they lost him, and now Toronto's

2030
01:53:53,080 --> 01:53:56,720
Speaker 1: back in the lottery. UM, I'm curious if Bradley Beal says,

2031
01:53:56,720 --> 01:53:58,840
Speaker 1: I want to be a Laker and don't trade for

2032
01:53:58,840 --> 01:54:02,519
Speaker 1: me New Orleans. I'm not signed there. Do you think

2033
01:54:02,560 --> 01:54:04,280
Speaker 1: Washington would just say, you know what, We're just going

2034
01:54:04,360 --> 01:54:08,799
Speaker 1: to accept whatever first round pick we can get Kuzma, Horton,

2035
01:54:08,880 --> 01:54:14,240
Speaker 1: Tucker and Shrewder and we'll take it. At some point

2036
01:54:14,280 --> 01:54:17,200
Speaker 1: they would have to, because what happens is you scare

2037
01:54:17,240 --> 01:54:21,000
Speaker 1: the other teams away the star like Bradley Bill, he's

2038
01:54:21,040 --> 01:54:23,559
Speaker 1: not worried about the loss of paycheck. You're not gonna

2039
01:54:23,640 --> 01:54:26,360
Speaker 1: You're not gonna shake him. And if he's convinced that

2040
01:54:26,400 --> 01:54:29,640
Speaker 1: he doesn't want to be where he's at, you ultimately

2041
01:54:29,680 --> 01:54:32,600
Speaker 1: have to respect it, because, like you said, you end

2042
01:54:32,640 --> 01:54:34,760
Speaker 1: up with the Kohi in or route where he told

2043
01:54:34,800 --> 01:54:36,360
Speaker 1: you he wants to be in l A. And he

2044
01:54:36,440 --> 01:54:38,240
Speaker 1: made his way to l A one way or another,

2045
01:54:38,840 --> 01:54:41,760
Speaker 1: and you're gonna have to make that move because the

2046
01:54:41,800 --> 01:54:45,200
Speaker 1: worst thing that happens is you give away your young

2047
01:54:45,280 --> 01:54:48,200
Speaker 1: talent and you don't get anything return and then your

2048
01:54:48,000 --> 01:54:49,920
Speaker 1: your your guy is gone. You don't have the guy

2049
01:54:50,000 --> 01:54:52,640
Speaker 1: that you you've invested in, and then you know you've

2050
01:54:52,640 --> 01:54:58,600
Speaker 1: got Julius Randall. And the way well George Clarkson played

2051
01:54:58,640 --> 01:55:01,840
Speaker 1: well somewhere. I mean, big thing Ryan that people don't

2052
01:55:01,880 --> 01:55:03,960
Speaker 1: want to get is some of these stars have to

2053
01:55:04,000 --> 01:55:06,840
Speaker 1: be willing to be hated. Right, So you know, Paul

2054
01:55:06,880 --> 01:55:10,280
Speaker 1: George was hated when he said he wanted out of Indy. Okay,

2055
01:55:10,320 --> 01:55:13,880
Speaker 1: Anthony Davis was hated and booed vociferously in New Orleans

2056
01:55:13,920 --> 01:55:16,440
Speaker 1: when he said he wanted out. Like, are you willing

2057
01:55:16,440 --> 01:55:18,120
Speaker 1: to put up with the short term hate for the

2058
01:55:18,160 --> 01:55:22,160
Speaker 1: long term game? And the answer to smart people is yes, right.

2059
01:55:23,360 --> 01:55:25,920
Speaker 1: You know it's funny, Jason. I think that these stars

2060
01:55:25,960 --> 01:55:30,000
Speaker 1: need to take a good look at Chris Paul and

2061
01:55:30,000 --> 01:55:32,280
Speaker 1: and for and and you you remember that just as

2062
01:55:32,320 --> 01:55:35,040
Speaker 1: well as I do. Somehow Chris Paul was able to

2063
01:55:35,680 --> 01:55:39,960
Speaker 1: demand out of New Orleans and they just cheered for him,

2064
01:55:39,960 --> 01:55:42,320
Speaker 1: and it was like Chris, they almost Chris, you need

2065
01:55:42,360 --> 01:55:45,360
Speaker 1: to go, Chris, we love you, you know, like, but

2066
01:55:45,520 --> 01:55:48,800
Speaker 1: think about that. Chris Paul got away with it and

2067
01:55:49,000 --> 01:55:52,920
Speaker 1: everything was was fine. He was almost like like we

2068
01:55:53,040 --> 01:55:55,280
Speaker 1: would go back to New Orleans with Chris and they

2069
01:55:55,360 --> 01:55:57,240
Speaker 1: cheered for him like he still played for the team,

2070
01:55:57,840 --> 01:56:00,560
Speaker 1: like they loved him. There was no so so whatever

2071
01:56:00,760 --> 01:56:03,680
Speaker 1: whatever Chris Paul did, these new stars need to call

2072
01:56:03,760 --> 01:56:05,640
Speaker 1: up Chris Paul. I need to ask him, hey, man,

2073
01:56:05,680 --> 01:56:08,600
Speaker 1: how did you get away? But in all reality, Bradley

2074
01:56:08,680 --> 01:56:12,600
Speaker 1: Bill was putting up monster. I mean fifty back to

2075
01:56:12,640 --> 01:56:15,360
Speaker 1: back fifty point games and losses. Like there's not much

2076
01:56:15,400 --> 01:56:19,120
Speaker 1: more Brad could have done. So if if he wants out,

2077
01:56:19,200 --> 01:56:22,480
Speaker 1: I would hope that Washington, you know, doesn't form or anything.

2078
01:56:22,480 --> 01:56:24,560
Speaker 1: And you know, Brad is a former teammate of mind.

2079
01:56:24,600 --> 01:56:26,440
Speaker 1: I was there and watching it with him. He's a

2080
01:56:26,440 --> 01:56:28,960
Speaker 1: low profile guy. Man. He doesn't say much. He just

2081
01:56:29,000 --> 01:56:31,760
Speaker 1: goes out and played and doesn't job. All right, Ryan Hollins,

2082
01:56:31,800 --> 01:56:34,040
Speaker 1: thank you, great stuff. We've got some breaking news. We

2083
01:56:34,080 --> 01:56:36,800
Speaker 1: gotta go right now, but enjoy the game this weekend, Ryan,

2084
01:56:36,840 --> 01:56:39,720
Speaker 1: thank you, all right. Brother. Alright, Isaac Lowan Crawn, You've

2085
01:56:39,720 --> 01:56:44,680
Speaker 1: got some breaking NBA news for US. Breaking news from

2086
01:56:44,680 --> 01:56:48,880
Speaker 1: Fox Sports. Adrian war Zanowski has just reported the Orlando

2087
01:56:49,080 --> 01:56:53,040
Speaker 1: Magic and head coach Steve Clifford have mutually agreed to

2088
01:56:53,160 --> 01:56:55,960
Speaker 1: part ways. The Magic made the playoffs and Clifford's first

2089
01:56:55,960 --> 01:56:59,760
Speaker 1: two seasons, but this season went twenty one and fifty one.

2090
01:57:00,000 --> 01:57:04,080
Speaker 1: So Orlando Magic head coach Steve Clifford is out. Jason

2091
01:57:04,320 --> 01:57:07,320
Speaker 1: all right, thank you, Isaac. Coming back after this, we

2092
01:57:07,360 --> 01:57:09,840
Speaker 1: will wrap up the show back here on Fox Sports Radio.

2093
01:57:10,560 --> 01:57:13,640
Speaker 1: Good stuff from Ryan Hollins. I don't really have much

2094
01:57:13,680 --> 01:57:17,879
Speaker 1: to add on the Steve Clifford firing. Listen, they dumped

2095
01:57:17,960 --> 01:57:22,200
Speaker 1: Fournier and Aaron Gordon. It's pretty clear rebuild is in

2096
01:57:22,240 --> 01:57:25,080
Speaker 1: full effect. They've got some your nice young players, but

2097
01:57:25,080 --> 01:57:28,000
Speaker 1: they're gonna be like a fifteen one team the next

2098
01:57:28,000 --> 01:57:31,959
Speaker 1: couple of years. Um. It's so funny this USA Honduras

2099
01:57:32,000 --> 01:57:34,800
Speaker 1: game that they're showing it's two days old. I didn't

2100
01:57:34,800 --> 01:57:37,480
Speaker 1: even notice that. By the way, USA Mexico in soccer

2101

Speaker 1: and Soccer Sunday Quick shout out. Your boy is playing

2102

01:57:47,480 --> 01:57:58,040
Speaker 1: Uh see you guys. Iwall sail quick. Um. I played

2104
01:57:58,040 --> 01:58:01,040
Speaker 1: in the tournament. We did win the title. I had

2105
01:58:01,200 --> 01:58:04,840
Speaker 1: four goals in five games. Um. I wasn't the leading

2106
01:58:04,880 --> 01:58:07,320
Speaker 1: score for our team though we have a striker who's incredible.

2107
01:58:07,760 --> 01:58:11,240
Speaker 1: Um and UM, I think we're slightly favorite to win again.

2108
01:58:11,280 --> 01:58:14,800
Speaker 1: But for my oddly nervous UM. I did play some

2109
01:58:14,840 --> 01:58:17,040
Speaker 1: pickup soccer this week, very excited for it. UM. I

2110
01:58:17,080 --> 01:58:20,360
Speaker 1: had a little calf tightening, and I'm telling you this

2111
01:58:20,400 --> 01:58:23,120
Speaker 1: is gonna make me sound old, but I did. I

2112
01:58:23,200 --> 01:58:24,840
Speaker 1: tried to overdo it. You know, I still think I'm

2113
01:58:24,880 --> 01:58:26,200
Speaker 1: young and I could do whatever the hell I want.

2114
01:58:26,960 --> 01:58:29,680
Speaker 1: I play basketball Wednesday, take a shower, eat dinner, and

2115
01:58:29,720 --> 01:58:32,160
Speaker 1: then I go play soccer. So the calf tightens up.

2116
01:58:32,160 --> 01:58:33,680
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm gonna check out earlier, I think I

2117
01:58:33,720 --> 01:58:39,080
Speaker 1: overdid it. I'm taking off my clothes two uh you know,

2118
01:58:39,200 --> 01:58:41,280
Speaker 1: hang up in the launder room and I spray them

2119
01:58:41,280 --> 01:58:43,440
Speaker 1: with for breeze because I don't like smelly clothes. I'm

2120
01:58:43,520 --> 01:58:49,320
Speaker 1: I'm a weirdo. Whatever. I bend over and oh my gosh,

2121
01:58:49,360 --> 01:58:52,600
Speaker 1: I pulled a muscle like in my ab area and

2122
01:58:52,640 --> 01:58:54,560
Speaker 1: I could not get up right. I had to call

2123
01:58:54,640 --> 01:58:58,000
Speaker 1: the wife from the bedroom. I'm like, am, oh my gosh,

2124
01:58:58,000 --> 01:59:01,720
Speaker 1: I can't move. I was like frozen it because of

2125
01:59:01,720 --> 01:59:03,720
Speaker 1: this ad muscle and I've never felt pain like that.

2126
01:59:03,760 --> 01:59:07,920
Speaker 1: I'm like, bring the um, bring the ray gun, which

2127
01:59:07,960 --> 01:59:09,840
Speaker 1: is like the mini ray gun. Yes, I got one

2128
01:59:09,840 --> 01:59:12,880
Speaker 1: of those, um, and I just had to apply it,

2129
01:59:13,000 --> 01:59:16,000
Speaker 1: and like three minutes later I was feeling a little better.

2130
01:59:16,440 --> 01:59:20,680
Speaker 1: But man, like, you gotta maximize your youth playing sports

2131
01:59:20,680 --> 01:59:23,440
Speaker 1: because like once you get old like me into your forties,

2132
01:59:23,480 --> 01:59:26,560
Speaker 1: it's a little more difficult. Um. So anyways, very excited

2133
01:59:26,560 --> 01:59:31,240
Speaker 1: about that kids sports soccer torn soccer ends this weekend. Um,

2134
01:59:31,280 --> 01:59:33,120
Speaker 1: my son's team, Oh I forgot to tell you guys,

2135
01:59:33,160 --> 01:59:38,440
Speaker 1: Oh forgot this. My son's team is undefeated under ten soccer. Uh.

2136
01:59:38,480 --> 01:59:41,640
Speaker 1: And then we played the second or third best team

2137
01:59:41,720 --> 01:59:44,000
Speaker 1: and they had some good players and it was a war.

2138
01:59:44,280 --> 01:59:47,120
Speaker 1: They take a one nothing lead and the referee starts

2139
01:59:47,160 --> 01:59:50,040
Speaker 1: losing control instantly because like we're skilled and they were

2140
01:59:50,040 --> 01:59:52,120
Speaker 1: a physical team, and the ref just, you know, he

2141
01:59:52,200 --> 01:59:54,400
Speaker 1: was a young kid, he's like fifteen or something. He

2142
01:59:54,480 --> 01:59:57,280
Speaker 1: didn't really call it, and our coach and our assistant

2143
01:59:57,320 --> 01:59:59,320
Speaker 1: coach were like, what do you do? That's a foul?

2144
01:59:59,800 --> 02:00:02,880
Speaker 1: And they had like an assistant ref sitting to reff

2145
02:00:02,920 --> 02:00:04,720
Speaker 1: the next game who was like a sixty year old guy,

2146
02:00:05,000 --> 02:00:07,720
Speaker 1: and he was like angry that we were complaining. We

2147
02:00:07,800 --> 02:00:11,280
Speaker 1: end up tying the game. Then we get fat we score,

2148
02:00:11,400 --> 02:00:13,240
Speaker 1: but they called like a handball in the box before,

2149
02:00:13,240 --> 02:00:16,280
Speaker 1: so we get a penalty kick with like three minutes left.

2150
02:00:16,800 --> 02:00:19,280
Speaker 1: Our best player steps up to take it, but they

2151
02:00:19,320 --> 02:00:21,160
Speaker 1: had the ball way back in the box and we're

2152
02:00:21,160 --> 02:00:23,160
Speaker 1: like that's not They're like, well we didn't market So

2153
02:00:23,200 --> 02:00:26,240
Speaker 1: they take like three minutes to argue about where the

2154
02:00:26,240 --> 02:00:28,600
Speaker 1: penalty kick should be. So then they step it out

2155
02:00:28,640 --> 02:00:32,160
Speaker 1: you know, ten ft and our star hits the crossbar.

2156
02:00:32,200 --> 02:00:34,240
Speaker 1: I felt so bad for him. He's like such a

2157
02:00:34,320 --> 02:00:37,960
Speaker 1: nice kid. He's an amazing player. Um, and you know

2158
02:00:38,040 --> 02:00:41,720
Speaker 1: that long time that the moron assistant ref took to

2159
02:00:41,720 --> 02:00:46,000
Speaker 1: to measure it out, um obviously messed us up. Anyway,

2160
02:00:46,000 --> 02:00:47,680
Speaker 1: it ended up one one time. We're trying to get

2161
02:00:47,680 --> 02:00:50,360
Speaker 1: a remax with him this week at some point because

2162
02:00:50,360 --> 02:00:52,760
Speaker 1: the game was good. They have some good players, um,

2163
02:00:52,760 --> 02:00:55,200
Speaker 1: but our team and we were stacked and we is

2164
02:00:55,240 --> 02:01:00,600
Speaker 1: just awesome. Anyways, NBA playoffs, enjoy them. I I'm rooting

2165
