Speaker 1: The only shooter that I never had problems within was
Speaker 1: the Jodan threes. And for us, what about the Protege's
Speaker 1: as soon as you say them before you buy them,
Speaker 1: go to the asolete Cans and the lawnmars and go
Speaker 1: pull gas all on the protegey shoes and burn them something.
Speaker 1: Y'all thought you were sweet with your little shoe deal
Speaker 1: until you cross someone over and your whole soul fell off.
Speaker 1: We'll go back to what's burning? Jack? What's good cooling?
Speaker 1: My brother? How you doing our doubt? Man? I'm good,
Speaker 1: I'm good. Had a busy weekend with the boys. We
Speaker 1: want to made hoops championships. So I lost my voice
Speaker 1: from cussing out so many refs. But it was a
Speaker 1: nice little weekend, man, nice little weekend. Well, let's get
Speaker 1: to it, man. The Heat had a heavy week last week,
Speaker 1: but prevailed through it all. They knocked down the bulls,
Speaker 1: the nets and ended the Sixers five game winning streak.
Speaker 1: O Litta Deepot is due to return soon. Are the
Speaker 1: Miami Heat the biggest threat to come out of the
Speaker 1: East right now? In your opinion? Jack? I wouldn't say biggest,
Speaker 1: but I just know they are cold, tender and the
Speaker 1: reason why because they play defense. They compete every night
Speaker 1: on both ends of the ball. They don't do no
Speaker 1: non no unnecessary switching. They get over screens. They stick
Speaker 1: to their game plan and they and they stick to
Speaker 1: it to a t, especially on the deepest event, even
Speaker 1: when they have guys out. My warrior is when older
Speaker 1: Deepo comes back, how we affect that team. You've got
Speaker 1: great guys like Tyler Hero playing well, Uh, Kyle Lowry,
Speaker 1: you know, Jimmy's gonna be what he's going to be
Speaker 1: to that team, and uh A Bounds playing well. I
Speaker 1: don't know what his role is actually gonna be, you know,
Speaker 1: with with Hero being that guy that's coming off the
Speaker 1: bench and give it points and sometimes starting. So it's
Speaker 1: gonna be It's gonna be interesting to see if he
Speaker 1: can bring that older deeple style of player that he
Speaker 1: had in Indiana to the to Miami. That would be
Speaker 1: dope and that would definitely help them in the playoffs.
Speaker 1: But it's they're definitely a contend for the for the
Speaker 1: way they played the game on both ends of the ball. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think this is a blue collar team that's it's
Speaker 1: really as crazy as it sales. Being one in the East,
Speaker 1: it's kind of flown under the radar um all of
Speaker 1: a deepot. I think it's a good problem for supposed
Speaker 1: to have. I mean, they just got a lot of talent.
Speaker 1: He's got to figure out how to use them. I
Speaker 1: think Tyler heroes on his way to winning his first
Speaker 1: six Man of the Year. I like the depth they added, obviously,
Speaker 1: with Kyle Lowry and p J. Tucker Championship experience. Band's
Speaker 1: playing at a high level. You know what Jimmy is
Speaker 1: gonna give you. Um Duck and Robinson could shoot the
Speaker 1: ship out of the ball and Spoilster is one of
Speaker 1: the best coaches in the league. So again, this team,
Speaker 1: I think why they don't get recognized more because they're
Speaker 1: not flashy. Again, their blue collar, like you said, they
Speaker 1: played defense. They compete for forty eight minutes. So they're
Speaker 1: definitely gonna be in the mix when it's all said done.
Speaker 1: So we'll see if they're represent the East next. The
Speaker 1: hottest team in the Eastern Conference, the Boston Celtics, are
Speaker 1: going fourteen and two over their last sixteen games. Jason
Speaker 1: Tatum was in a shootout with Kevin Durant this weekend.
Speaker 1: J T dropped fifty four. It's his fourth fifty point game,
Speaker 1: tiring tying Sir Lawrence Larry Bird. How far could Jayson
Speaker 1: Tatum take these Celtics in your opinion, Jack, I mean,
Speaker 1: he's playing well and everybody's playing that role to let
Speaker 1: them be the start. Uh. If he can have big
Speaker 1: games like this, this guy's a limit for that team.
Speaker 1: But you know that's not realistic for him to have
Speaker 1: fifty every night, especially in the playoffs when teams take
Speaker 1: away a lot of the things you do well. But
Speaker 1: with with Brooklyn, Brooklyn just looks terrible on defense. Jason
Speaker 1: Tatum just did everything he wanted to do on offense
Speaker 1: um last night with against Brooklyn, got layups, got wide
Speaker 1: open threes on on switches. He just played with the
Speaker 1: big man and got any shot he wanted. Brooklyn just
Speaker 1: looked bad on deepenesse. But Jason Tatum and and and
Speaker 1: and Boston Sells are looking real good right now. Shout
Speaker 1: out to email Udoka for doing a great job coaching
Speaker 1: these guys getting them back in the winning field over there.
Speaker 1: Bringing Jalen Brown in not just throwing him in the
Speaker 1: fire coming off an injury, but letting him play menutes
Speaker 1: and bringing them back slow to keep him healthy for
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Great job by him. Yeah, this this has
Speaker 1: been the hardest team in the league, and you're definitely
Speaker 1: shout out to Email Judoka for kind of helping this team.
Speaker 1: Turn this team around. But this team has always been
Speaker 1: a mystery. They experienced a lot of success early on.
Speaker 1: I think it was Taylor's rookie year of first where
Speaker 1: they went to the Eastern Finals against Lebron. I think
Speaker 1: Tatum is the clear one A on this team. Although
Speaker 1: Jaden Brown is very talented. I think he's the B
Speaker 1: and that's not a bad thing. If this team could
Speaker 1: somehow get it together again there, I don't know if
Speaker 1: they're missing anything. Um, they haven't had success. You know,
Speaker 1: they've tried to bring scoring point guards and obviously that
Speaker 1: wasn't the answer because they have such scoring dominant wings. Um.
Speaker 1: But I love Jayson Tatum. He's one of my favorite players.
Speaker 1: You know, he's obviously one of the top five. Was
Speaker 1: he just turned under twenty five players in the game. Uh,
Speaker 1: there's no holes in his game and he plays defense.
Speaker 1: So it'll be excited to see down the stretch. You know,
Speaker 1: the analytics people are really high on Boston representing the East.
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be an interesting next two or three
Speaker 1: weeks as we wind down the season. The MAVs have
Speaker 1: gone four and all of late, Luca looks like he's
Speaker 1: in shape. He's catching dunk tips, dunking on people. You
Speaker 1: already know he's a He's a walking bucket. Can the
Speaker 1: mass play spoiler in the playoffs? Jack? Of course? When
Speaker 1: you got a guy like Luca Donchey's of course. Uh,
Speaker 1: he can take over games. He can win games, he
Speaker 1: can make plays for others to win games. He can
Speaker 1: do it all. And like people like you said, he's
Speaker 1: in shape now, um, he's looking like an MVP candidate
Speaker 1: that that we said he was last year. But um,
Speaker 1: I love Luca man. I love the way he's leading
Speaker 1: his team. I love the way he's starting to believe
Speaker 1: in Ja kid and and the team is starting to
Speaker 1: buy in and come together with With losing KP, I
Speaker 1: think it's a better team now. They play harder and
Speaker 1: we'll see if they can spat somebody's playoff season. I
Speaker 1: mean to think Luca's only twenty three, and you know
Speaker 1: Porzingis was supposed to be his his robbin. Uh can
Speaker 1: never stay healthy enough to be on the court. I
Speaker 1: really like the point guard, the point guard, the backup
Speaker 1: point Jathen Brunson. I think Jathen Brunson is gonna is
Speaker 1: gonna get a lot of money uh in the off season.
Speaker 1: And again, Luca is tremendous, and I think if they
Speaker 1: really had a true robbing, this team could really make
Speaker 1: a run. But I think we only one star. It
Speaker 1: can be really hard for them to advance, but they
Speaker 1: can definitely play us first round spoil against someone because
Speaker 1: we've all seen with Luca. You know, Lucas pushed teams
Speaker 1: to the wire um single handley before in the playoffs.
Speaker 1: I see it no different this year, and he's in shape.
Speaker 1: Keep in mind, man, he's only twenty three years old.
Speaker 1: The league is in really good hands once this next
Speaker 1: wave with superstars retire. Jack. Next up the Memphis Grizzlies,
Speaker 1: who are neck and neck with the Golden State Warriors
Speaker 1: for that too spot in the West. Perk is real
Speaker 1: big on this team. He's been talking big on this
Speaker 1: team for the last two or three months. Jaws just
Speaker 1: been incredible. What do you think about this Memphis team?
Speaker 1: Are they for real? Jack? I don't know. I mean,
Speaker 1: I can say Job Moran is for real, but I
Speaker 1: can't say the team is for real. And I can't
Speaker 1: say and and and I can't say the coaches for
Speaker 1: real because when it comes down to the playoffs, when
Speaker 1: they get to the playoffs, they're gonna take John Morant
Speaker 1: out the game completely away, double team while that high
Speaker 1: fly and all that ship it's not gonna work. They're
Speaker 1: gonna take all that ship away, and somebody else is
Speaker 1: gonna have to step up and have some big games.
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not saying they were able to shut
Speaker 1: you down, but somebody else gonna have to step up
Speaker 1: and have some big games for them, and I don't
Speaker 1: know who's gonna have that. They got a great group
Speaker 1: of young kids that can shoot, that can make plays,
Speaker 1: and they play hard. But I haven't seen the coach
Speaker 1: in that position yet, and I haven't seen these young
Speaker 1: guys in that position yet. I believe in Jail, I
Speaker 1: just don't believe in the team. Yeah, this is a
Speaker 1: very young, exciting team, and I think you hit it
Speaker 1: on the head. You can get away with all this
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. In the regular season. Job they'll be
Speaker 1: able to slow him down. They won't be able to
Speaker 1: stop him, So you know what Jaw is gonna give you.
Speaker 1: But again, similar to Luca, who's gonna be that second
Speaker 1: consistent twenty plus a guy every single night in the
Speaker 1: playoffs that you need to advance. You know, you definitely
Speaker 1: need that second twenty point of game. Is it Is
Speaker 1: it gonna be Jaren Jackson? Uh? We don't know. He's
Speaker 1: been up and down. Very talented young power forward, but
Speaker 1: job has been incredible and um, like I said, he's
Speaker 1: gonna be judged from here on out what he's able
Speaker 1: to do in the post season. So it'll be interesting
Speaker 1: to see. Um. You know that they're sitting in that
Speaker 1: second seed. A second round battle, possibly with Golden State
Speaker 1: in the making, would be incredible. So it'll be exciting
Speaker 1: to see this new young team in uncharted territory in
Speaker 1: the playoffs if they happen to play a veteran experienced
Speaker 1: team like Golden State in that second round. Uh, to
Speaker 1: see what happens. So is Jah the next face of
Speaker 1: the league or in the next group of names you
Speaker 1: feel like will be in the next face of the
Speaker 1: face of the league after this wave of you know, Lebron, uh,
Speaker 1: Katie Steph after those guys are going his Jaw the
Speaker 1: front runner for that. Well, I think even so, Matt,
Speaker 1: why stepan Katie's around even when Braun stepped down, because
Speaker 1: for the simple fact that he's exciting the young kids
Speaker 1: watch him. He has the flag of the style, the
Speaker 1: swag he had. He has all that that the culture
Speaker 1: embraces today and that the culture yesterday, and he go
Speaker 1: out there and get the job done. He's a high flyer.
Speaker 1: He's a more athletic guy in Nobson like say he
Speaker 1: would that's a lot of David Um dead Rose, but yeah,
Speaker 1: dead Ross. But this kid special man, And I just
Speaker 1: hope you have a successful playoff season so you can
Speaker 1: shut a lot of people, mark my words. When Nike
Speaker 1: decides to give Jaw his own shoe, it will be
Speaker 1: the number one selling shoe in the league. I guarantee it. Guarantee.
Speaker 1: All the kids love Jaw. So once Nike goes ahead
Speaker 1: and make that ship, once they pressed go on that play,
Speaker 1: he'll have the number one shoe in basketball. Lebron drop
Speaker 1: fifty six against the Warriors. What was more important? The
Speaker 1: Lakers actually won? Just another gym in his crown, Jack
Speaker 1: or can this team possibly pull some ship together and
Speaker 1: make a strong finish to the season and maybe make
Speaker 1: some noise in the playoffs. I mean, I still think
Speaker 1: they can make some knowledge. It's definitely a gym in
Speaker 1: his crown. But I don't think it was big as
Speaker 1: people think it is. For for me, it was big
Speaker 1: because it continues to show Lebron's greatness at the ages,
Speaker 1: at that he's still of loves the game, take care
Speaker 1: of himself, and and and and and and he's still
Speaker 1: a goat, you know what I mean, He's still a goat.
Speaker 1: So that that says one thing to me. Before the
Speaker 1: team it didn't say much because if you think Lebron
Speaker 1: going to keep getting fifty six, how to win y'all last?
Speaker 1: Y'all God damn mine, you know what I mean? Yeah,
Speaker 1: y'all got another thing coming. And I don't remember getting
Speaker 1: scored fifty on by nobody in my whole career, so
Speaker 1: I don't know what that feels like, you know, to
Speaker 1: be in that type of zone. But but Braun, Braun
Speaker 1: is doing this part, and I'm glad Magic and other
Speaker 1: people are going after everybody else on the team because
Speaker 1: y'are putting a lot of pressure on Bun Braun. He's
Speaker 1: continued to do his part. When is the rest of
Speaker 1: the team gonna step up and do their part? Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is crazy. Obviously, he's shown throughout this nasty season
Speaker 1: for the Lakers that he still can play at a
Speaker 1: very high level, very high level. One of only four
Speaker 1: guys to drop fifty after turning thirty seven. He's been
Speaker 1: absolutely incredible. Russ drop twenty ending what I think at
Speaker 1: ten games streak without him touching twenty. I just always
Speaker 1: tell people Jack and you you were in and out
Speaker 1: with the Clippers, but particularly with the Lakers, there's so
Speaker 1: much more to the game than basketball, you know. I
Speaker 1: think Russ is one of the most mentally strong players
Speaker 1: this league has possibly ever seen. I was actually talking
Speaker 1: to his agent at the u c l A Game
Speaker 1: SC game the other day. Um, but l A will
Speaker 1: break anybody, you know what I mean. And I'm not
Speaker 1: even saying Russ is brokeer his agent said he's broke.
Speaker 1: But I'm just saying, from the outside looking in, all
Speaker 1: this chatter is getting to him. And again, Russ has
Speaker 1: been one of the most mentally tough players I've ever
Speaker 1: seen this this game has ever seen. But coming home
Speaker 1: to l a being in your hometown, and I don't
Speaker 1: think anyone predicted it. It was gonna be this ugly,
Speaker 1: and now everything is not on Russ. To me, that's
Speaker 1: been a real issue because they haven't consistently got Lebron,
Speaker 1: A D and Russ on the court for a long
Speaker 1: stretch of time, so Russ doesn't really know who the
Speaker 1: fun to be. You know, am I am my old
Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook, am I and uh an aging Russell Russ book.
Speaker 1: That's Scholso trying to find his footing between two other superstars.
Speaker 1: It's been Lebron out and a D out and Russ
Speaker 1: is incredible. It's been a D and Russ and Russ
Speaker 1: has been good. It's been a D. It's been Braun
Speaker 1: and rust and then Russ is trying to find his footing.
Speaker 1: So it's been really interesting because they haven't got their
Speaker 1: key three guys on the court for a significant amount
Speaker 1: of time for Russ to really find who he's gonna be.
Speaker 1: You know, this guy has been a ball dominant guard
Speaker 1: his entire career. Now they're asking him to be as
Speaker 1: dominant playing off the ball, and that's never been his forte.
Speaker 1: So I agree with you, Jack, I think if this
Speaker 1: team can squeak in the playoffs, whether it be playing
Speaker 1: game or not, if they're in that a spot at
Speaker 1: some point or even seven, if they get hot, they
Speaker 1: can beat anyone in the league because there this is
Speaker 1: an older team that's built for the playoffs. Now, you
Speaker 1: definitely can't turn shipped on and off, but you're always
Speaker 1: gonna have a great chance if you have a healthy
Speaker 1: Lebron and the health and the Anthony Davis and then
Speaker 1: a Russell Westbrook that you know at some point it's
Speaker 1: going to give you something special. Jack. Next up on
Speaker 1: the Radar, presented you by Draft Kings, Let's take a
Speaker 1: look at the Coach of the Year odds. We got
Speaker 1: Monty Williams as a big favorite minus three fifty. JB.
Speaker 1: Bigger Staff doing a great job at Cleveland, plus three
Speaker 1: fifty uh Eric Spoelster one of my favorite coaches, plus
Speaker 1: six fifty Taylor Jenkins, the guy you're kind of questioning,
Speaker 1: still over in Memphis at plus six fifty Billy Donovan
Speaker 1: plus rounded out by Steve Kerr plus hundred. In your opinion,
Speaker 1: you have a favorite in this group. Yeah, I ain't
Speaker 1: gonna lie man. Last year. I wondered, I think Money
Speaker 1: deserved it, man, I really, I really think he deserved it.
Speaker 1: And he's doing a great job again this year. And
Speaker 1: I think last year was his year. I can't give
Speaker 1: it to him this year. And I was really pulling
Speaker 1: for Billy Donovan, but I gotta go with that young staff. Man.
Speaker 1: I gotta go with j B. Man. I think j
Speaker 1: B he's gonna pull it off, man, because this is
Speaker 1: the team that really came from ship to sugar, right.
Speaker 1: They was in the dungeon since Lebron left, not in
Speaker 1: the playoffs, they play, they got all stars on their
Speaker 1: team and all this type of bit, all this type
Speaker 1: of business going on. So I gotta go with the Biggs,
Speaker 1: bigger staff Ben, j B. Boy Jack. This is a
Speaker 1: little bit off talk of it. Let's let's let's look
Speaker 1: into the future and hypothetically, if you're Cleveland and you've
Speaker 1: built something this special post Lebron, obviously Lebron is gonna
Speaker 1: be one of the greatest, if not the greatest player ever.
Speaker 1: Would you want Lebron to come back to that young
Speaker 1: team knowing that it's kind of been hard for him
Speaker 1: to yes, talk to me about that, Yes, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: beause I don't even want you to finish the question.
Speaker 1: Hell yeah, so you you you would, you would? You
Speaker 1: would take a year or two with Lebron at the end.
Speaker 1: Well for well, for me, I would because the young
Speaker 1: roster can use that leadership. But then that gives you
Speaker 1: a great chance of getting Brownie. So there's a lot
Speaker 1: of it's more than just bringing Braun there. You know,
Speaker 1: definitely gonna bring there, bring the championship field there, and
Speaker 1: bring that experience in the wage. Playing at this age.
Speaker 1: I'm telling how you're gonna be playing two years from now,
Speaker 1: and uh, you get Brownie out there. You know. It's
Speaker 1: just it's just so many pluses of having brawn on
Speaker 1: your organization. So it's always yes for me. Yeah, not
Speaker 1: mad at that. I just pay for Brownie. Man. Just
Speaker 1: just just imagine how and how much pressure is going
Speaker 1: to be on that kid to to be I mean,
Speaker 1: can you live up to your dad's status. I mean
Speaker 1: that that's incredible, man. So I hope that he's able
Speaker 1: to keep his head on straight and uh continue to
Speaker 1: you know, elevate his game and put itself in a
Speaker 1: position to you know, be one of the next grades
Speaker 1: in the league. Next up. Fan questions Janeka eighty two,
Speaker 1: Jane A k Or is the Janika I Jane A
Speaker 1: k two? I don't know if it's I Jane because
Speaker 1: I don't look look, look look at the thumbs up.
Speaker 1: I think I Jane would be probably like a more
Speaker 1: pastier thumb up that has a little bit of color
Speaker 1: to it. So that's why Janica, That's why I said,
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, you know, you know, I'm ghetto. I'm slow,
Speaker 1: think Janica, what's up Janika? My little freak of Janika?
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah, okay, okay, all right,
Speaker 1: Well I'm gonna go with N two. With it being
Speaker 1: Women's History Month, how do you feel about the NBA?
Speaker 1: Can the best honor women this month? Moving forward or hiring? Uh?
Speaker 1: Love the show? So what can the NBA do to
Speaker 1: honor women during Women's History Month? What's up? Nika? What's
Speaker 1: going down? Nika? But? Uh, first off, they can just
Speaker 1: pay the women what they deserve. Okay, Women's Month? I
Speaker 1: get that. With this women, I think this women's much shit.
Speaker 1: It's just like Black history. We Women's once shouldn't be
Speaker 1: one money and Black history shouldn't be no one month. Okay,
Speaker 1: we should celebrate women all year around, just like we
Speaker 1: should sell black history all year around. Okay, point blank,
Speaker 1: and the and and the best example of the best
Speaker 1: thing for all of them to do if they what
Speaker 1: they wanted to really celebrate Women's month, make sure that
Speaker 1: the women all get paid equal pay so they won't
Speaker 1: have to go through with brittany ground of going through
Speaker 1: right now. M m m m m m m. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well probably we'll touch on Brittany at the end. Good call.
Speaker 1: Next fan question, so points seventy five, how hard it
Speaker 1: is to stay in games with positivity and seasons We're
Speaker 1: either losing a lot of a lot of games, are
Speaker 1: you and knowing that there would no be no postseason?
Speaker 1: What becomes the motivation after that? Now you're not going
Speaker 1: to the playoffs, can't wait to start smoking weed and
Speaker 1: get on the beach. That's how we used to look
Speaker 1: at it, right, Although I made the playoffs a lot,
Speaker 1: I've been on some teams that that, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: there was no lot at the end of the tunnel,
Speaker 1: and you just want to continue to play hard because
Speaker 1: you never know if a contract is up, if you're
Speaker 1: on a one year deal, you never know who's watching.
Speaker 1: But if you're locked into a team and they suck
Speaker 1: and you don't know you're not going to the playoffs.
Speaker 1: You just start at this time. You know you're planning
Speaker 1: your vacations. You want to finish strong, stay healthy, and
Speaker 1: I'll catch you next year. Honestly, if it's just one
Speaker 1: reason when we had we just had something a low. Yeah,
Speaker 1: But if this team, but if this team not going,
Speaker 1: if this team not going in the winning direction period, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get up out of here. Player. I'm
Speaker 1: gone let me know what y'all got going on. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna let y'all know where I'm trying to go. I'm
Speaker 1: not trying to be a part of no losing organization ever.
Speaker 1: I'm not taking I'm not doing none of that. So
Speaker 1: it depends on what the situation is the King Jose three.
Speaker 1: What team has been the bigger disappointment? The Nets Big
Speaker 1: three of Katie, Kyrie and Harden or the Lakers Big
Speaker 1: three of Broun, A D and Russ. I gotta go
Speaker 1: with the Lakers, bro for the simple fact that they've
Speaker 1: been together all year. They ain't really had no term
Speaker 1: all yet. They deal with some injury with a D,
Speaker 1: but they've been basically been together. They have an identity
Speaker 1: that they have a cord to their team right. They
Speaker 1: have guys have been at all season. Brooklyn, Kyrie has
Speaker 1: been out, James want to be there. Kat He's been
Speaker 1: heard like they've been all over the place and they
Speaker 1: ain't had a solid identity or team yet this season
Speaker 1: the Lakers have. So my biggest disappointment and the Laker
Speaker 1: is the Lakers. Man. I'm disappointed in the rust. I'm
Speaker 1: disappointed how the team, how the team is really handled
Speaker 1: the Russ and his lows not giving him the respect
Speaker 1: he's deserved and trying to blame everything on him. I
Speaker 1: don't like the way a d came into this season
Speaker 1: with his body. Man, he wasn't physically prepared to go
Speaker 1: back to back champions If you think about the Katie,
Speaker 1: Kyrie and Hardened experiment. In two years, they only played
Speaker 1: what sixteen eighteen games together, which is fucking crazy. And then,
Speaker 1: like you said, this year, Harden played when he wanted to,
Speaker 1: Katie carried a lot of low till he got hurt,
Speaker 1: and then Kyrie kind of came back at the end
Speaker 1: um through his vaccination status. So they've that whole Brooklyn
Speaker 1: thing has just been an evolving door of craziness. The Lakers,
Speaker 1: on the other hand, have have been hit with injury.
Speaker 1: But um, again, like I said earlier, I don't think
Speaker 1: anyone predicted that this this rust experiment would would uh
Speaker 1: you know, working out this way, because you gotta think
Speaker 1: you let Demarchell it. DeMar thought he was going to
Speaker 1: the Lakers, you know what I I mean. And you see
Speaker 1: what kind of season he's having. He's probably top five
Speaker 1: in the MVP voting. H with this with the season
Speaker 1: he's having over in Chicago, So imagine, you know, if
Speaker 1: that could have happened, So you know, a lot of
Speaker 1: hood could have, should have, would have. But definitely i'd
Speaker 1: have to say, you know, the most disappointing situation. I think,
Speaker 1: to be honest, with any situation, it's gonna be kind
Speaker 1: of unfair for Braun because bron is always gonna be
Speaker 1: If it's great, it's great. If it's bad, it's it's
Speaker 1: gonna be a Bronze situation. So I definitely think, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, the Lakers are probably the more disappointing team,
Speaker 1: uh this season. At Shan Tribe nine, what's both of
Speaker 1: y'all's favorite hoop and shoe up all time. Oh favorite
Speaker 1: hoop and shoe. I mean, I was pretty much indeed
Speaker 1: is my whole career. And they don't really have too
Speaker 1: much to brag up out over there, So I'm gonna
Speaker 1: sit this question out. Jack quit yours, John threes and fours.
Speaker 1: I played in the John threes and four is a lot.
Speaker 1: That's my favorite shoe. Comfortable. I brought both of my feet,
Speaker 1: So the only shoe that that I never had problems
Speaker 1: within was the Join and threes and fours. What about
Speaker 1: the Proteges by Al Harrington? I was just about the
Speaker 1: same mad day ever, go to the store and they
Speaker 1: see the Protejas on the aisle as soon as you
Speaker 1: see them before you buy them. Go to the where
Speaker 1: they have the gasoline cans and the lawnmoars and go
Speaker 1: pull gas all on the Protege shoes and burn them
Speaker 1: something bitches. They catch them bitches in the walmart. Remember
Speaker 1: that they're connected by like the little plastic on the
Speaker 1: on the shoe wreck with a hundred fifty pair of shoes,
Speaker 1: and bitch is probably seven dollars on their Hey Matt.
Speaker 1: They relocated the protege as next to the Raymond noodles,
Speaker 1: man ship by by case of Roman noodles and get
Speaker 1: the proteges for free. Hey, y'all thought, hey, well, real
Speaker 1: real quick, though, y'all thought you were sweet with your
Speaker 1: little shoe deal before you actually had to wear them
Speaker 1: in the game. Though, y'all, y'all have some extra area
Speaker 1: your chest during that season though, before you actually had
Speaker 1: to wear them bitches on the court until you cross
Speaker 1: someone over and your whole soul fell off. You have
Speaker 1: to wear them ships with a spat. Remember in the
Speaker 1: NFL they used to spat where they would take around
Speaker 1: the cleet. That's how you had to wear the proteg
Speaker 1: so the soul didn't fall off all right. Next up,

Speaker 1: We let Josh Smith take over when James Harden was
Speaker 1: on the bench. Ugly season. One of the most underachieving
