54
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,799
Speaker 5: be an understatement for the blasphemy that came out of

55
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,519

57
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 5: I'm gonna ask you, how are you doing? Because you're

60
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,800

00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 5: were saying some wild stuff out your mouth. But but

Speaker 5: Well, first of all, you were supposed to start with

66
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 5: I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.

67
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 2: You're right.

71
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 6: a great day. Man, how y'all doing. But I mean,

72
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 6: answer your question, Jo Kic.

73
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 2: Know where we're going?

74
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 6: Yeah? So after that, I mean.

75
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:17,559
Speaker 5: You're taking Nicola Jokic over O'Neill. You're wrong, man, You're wrong.

76
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 2: He drunk.

77
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 6: Hey, you're wrong. I was that kid. My first time

78
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 6: watching Shack, I was in the barbershop when he played

79
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 6: for l s U. I was watching that game. It

80
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 6: was it was Stanley Roberts. That's what Chris Jackson before

81
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 6: he changed his name to Mark mood abdul Rod. That

82
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 6: LSU team with Shack, they went against Georgia Tech Kenny Andersons.

83
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 6: Some throwback names they had, Brian Oliver, Dennis Scott that

84
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 6: you remember that team they faced each other. That's when

85
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 6: I became a fan of Shack. And I remember the

86
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 6: Blue Chips movie came out. He was neon Budou. We

87
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 6: saw we saw Shack, the young Shack, Orlando Shack, Laker.

88
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 6: Shack is the prime Shack you would all agree that

89
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 6: prime Shack is Laker.

90
00:04:56,120 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 5: Shack right, unstop is unstoppable sh is Lakers. Absolutely.

91
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 6: Yeah.

92
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 5: So at that and there's still there were still some

93
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 5: guys that was was teaching a team to dream, was

94
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 5: was teaching while he was still in Orlando. There was

95
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:14,679
Speaker 5: still some teachable moments. But he became an un unstoppable

96
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 5: force in LA. But go ahead, go ahead, I do

97
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 5: what you said.

98
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 6: Back at that time, I thought Shack. I never would

99
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 6: see another player that's more dominant than Shaq, not just physically,

100
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 6: but the mental aspect of the game. And that's why

101
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 6: I look at with Jokic. I mean, he's averaging thirty points,

102
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,600
Speaker 6: twelve point eight rebounds, and ten point two assist. The

103
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:39,359
Speaker 6: passing and the playmaking. I feel like it's what sets

104
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 6: him apart and makes him like your Peyton Man and

105
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 6: Tom Brady on the basketball court because he's doing all

106
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 6: of this stuff, all of these great numbers. I've just

107
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 6: said to y'all, all of these triple doubles. We saw

108
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 6: the sixty one point triple double. No player in NBA

109
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 6: history has had a triple double scoring that many points.

110
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 6: And it looks like he's playing against little kids in

111
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 6: the driveway. But the most impressive thing, and I've said

112
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 6: this on Instagram recently the other day, he's doing all

113
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 6: of this without any muscles. He's not in shape at all.

114
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 2: Man, he can be able to jump over packing now leaders.

115
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's like he has the athleticism of like Zach Randolph,

116
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,919
Speaker 6: Like this is like Zach Randolph athleticism. But nobody can

117
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 6: stop this guy. And I just feel like we got

118
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 6: to at least have the conversation. I think it's a

119
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:27,359
Speaker 6: great matchup.

120
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 4: This is why you gotta love This is why you

121
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 4: gotta love the Joker. Because somebody was interviewing and they

122
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 4: asked him, well, why are you so good? He said,

123
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 4: I don't know, he said. He said, I'm fat, I'm slow,

124
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 4: I can't jump, and I can't run. And that made

125
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 4: me have a more of appreciation for him understanding his

126
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 4: abilities in this skill level of who he is as

127
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 4: a player. He knows it, he understands it because he's

128
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 4: the most unathletic probably big man that we've seen. I

129
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 4: know that I've seen for him, dude, the way that

130
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 4: he dominates basketball games and makes these guys who had

131
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 4: what these thirty forty inch vertical six eighty sixty nine

132
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 4: height makes them look athletically. It's absolutely phenomenal. Man to

133
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 4: sit back and watch this man go about his body work.

134
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 4: I'm not saying he's a better basketball player than shot.

135
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 4: He not.

136
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 3: But what I'm saying is the man is unstoppable. Hey,

137
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 3: do you guys take into account this though? If you

138
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 3: breathe on somebody, it's a foul. If you just touch somebody,

139
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 3: just starting a foul. Like, let's just be honest. You

140
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,679
Speaker 3: can't do like nobody wants. The NBA referees or by fighter,

141
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 3: worst referees in professional sports. These dudes are awful. Like

142
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 3: nobody wants to watch a game one hundred and forty

143
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 3: seven to one hundred and forty. Nobody wants to watch

144
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 3: that one and thirty one twenty six. Like that's not

145
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 3: that man, that's a free for all.

146
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 6: Just go score, TJ. I just thinking the pantheon or

147
00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 6: big men like the Bill Russell. We never got a

148
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 6: chance to see Bill. We never got a chance to

149
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 6: see Wild Chamberlain. But I saw a team Olajah want

150
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 6: and him and Shack had their wars. David Robinson, you

151
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 6: just throw in all those big men and they would.

152
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 5: Have destroyed Jokic. They would have destroyed Jokic. It's a

153
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 5: different it's the idea. It's the idea of what do

154
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 5: you what do you want? Do you want a more

155
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 5: focused scope of work or do you want a more

156
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 5: versatile scope of work? Just because Joel embiid or or

157
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 5: Jokic would be able to go outside and shoot it

158
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 5: from outside or make better passes, Jokic makes better passes,

159
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 5: that's fine, But what about the defensive side of the ball.

160
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 5: Jokic doesn't even begin to compare to those guys on

161
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,679
Speaker 5: the defensive side of the ball. I'll throw Patrick Ewing

162
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 5: into the conversation.

163
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 7: A.

164
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 2: Like guys would push you off the box. You push

165
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 2: somebody off the box. Now it's a it's a foul.

166
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 2: It's a foul.

167
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:56,439
Speaker 1: It was.

168
00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 5: It was three four dudes trying to tackle Shaquillo Neil

169
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 5: while he was trying to go.

170
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,559
Speaker 3: I don't want to discredit it, not call. I don't

171
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:06,680
Speaker 3: want to discrediting I'm not.

172
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 5: More dominant.

173
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 2: He's just not like Shock. That's it. Listen, you guys

174
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:16,439
Speaker 2: are making very valid points.

175
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 4: I don't see Joker walking on the basketball court and

176
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 4: dominating attimpt Duncan either.

177
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 5: I just don't know that it's a power forward, right,

178
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 5: is more like a power forward if you ask me,

179
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,839
Speaker 5: he's more like I would look at him as why

180
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,199
Speaker 5: not why not throw him in the same conversation as

181
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 5: a Durant? Why not throw him in the same conversation

182
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 5: as a why are we? Why are we separating in

183
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 5: from those guys? Because he shows a skill set that's

184
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 5: more on par with those dudes than.

185
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 2: See Yeah, game as well, Dirk wasn't.

186
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 5: As much of a facilitator as as Jokic is either,

187
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 5: though he was more of a score.

188
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 2: Before I get to the Lakers, I had we had

189
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 2: this conversation.

190
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 4: I believe two weeks ago, Dude, two weeks ago, everybody

191
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 4: was saying that SGA has locked up the MVP based

192
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 4: off of the past two weeks. What everybody's saying, what

193
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:18,079
Speaker 4: do you think is who is the favorite in the

194
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 4: MVP race right now?

195
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 6: If you look, if you look at the OS right now,

196
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,839
Speaker 6: it's like plus two thousand for SGA. So SGA is

197
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 6: gonna win it because the voters, they know they screwed

198
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 6: him last year. He got robbed last year. Everybody know

199
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 6: he should have won it last year. So SGA is

200
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 6: going to win in but if I'm a voter, it

201
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 6: will be tough because Jokics numbers this year are better

202
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 6: than the previous times. He won NBB already, and if

203
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 6: you just look at the numbers side by Sock in

204
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 6: parison with SGA, yet they have new different roles on

205
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 6: her team. They're two different type of players, two different positions.

206
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 6: Worst case scenario, I wouldn't be mad at the co MVP,

207
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 6: but I still would feel like.

208
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 3: SGA would be here cuffs. Let me ask you this though,

209
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 3: but you can't continue you know, I'm not saying you,

210
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 3: I'm talking the voters and the people. You can't continue

211
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:05,839
Speaker 3: to move the goal post because at one point it

212
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 3: was the MVP for the most part went to the

213
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 3: best player on the best team for the most part.

214
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 3: So now when the narrative fits, oh, we the fourth

215
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 3: to fifth seed, but he's having what happened to the

216
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,559
Speaker 3: Oh you can't. You got to be one of the

217
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:22,959
Speaker 3: top two teams to be the m v P.

218
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 2: So certain people I don't agree with that. That's not true.

219
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,559
Speaker 3: I mean Westbrook won the m v P when his

220
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:32,839
Speaker 3: team I believed. I think the Oklahoma City was the

221
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,679
Speaker 3: sixth seed. But for the most part, it's been the

222
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 3: best player on the best team.

223
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:39,319
Speaker 5: That's exactly what it's been.

224
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 2: Would you agree.

225
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:46,079
Speaker 4: He Al was the best basketball player, He was the

226
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 4: best basket play on his team, but they were the.

227
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 2: Best team in the NBA.

228
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 6: Now we solved this problem TJ with the voters and

229
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 6: voters fatigue and all for these voters is we come

230
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 6: up with some type of database, the track that they

231
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 6: actually watch the basketball games every night because a lot

232
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 6: of these voters. I ain't gonna say none of y'all names,

233
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 6: but y'all don't want basketball every night. You watch highlights

234
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 6: and then you get in here and you rob these

235
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,679
Speaker 6: guys with their legacies because you watch the highlights on

236
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 6: YouTube the next morning instead of watching games. So it's

237
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 6: a lot of narratives. It's a lot of bad narratives

238
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 6: that run around. People make up things about this player

239
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 6: to give them this perception or he can't do this,

240
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 6: and he can't do that. And the voters have all

241
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,079
Speaker 6: the power, and I think they should be held to

242
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 6: a standard and held accountable because the voters mess it up.

243
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 6: A lot of times. We've seen Lebron get robbed for MVPs.

244
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 6: We've seen We've seen Jannis win one. He could have win.

245
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 6: He could have Yann should be in the conversation this year.

246
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 6: We're being honest.

247
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:41,079
Speaker 2: Ain't nobody listen to me.

248
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 3: His team, his team, it's his team, the mill it's

249
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 3: his team. I'm telling you, it's his team. They're not good.

250
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:54,679
Speaker 2: If the conference you don't want to play a healthy well,

251
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,079
Speaker 2: Dame's not there, man, Listen, he's out.

252
00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 5: The Bucks are, Yeah, but your team plays a part

253
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:09,560
Speaker 5: and you getting that award in the NBA.

254
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 4: Hey, let's shift gears. Let's get to the real meeting potatoes. Uh,

255
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 4: let's just die right in because that's what I do. Uh, Paul,

256
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 4: you know, just for eight hours ago, you guys lost

257
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 4: to the UH, to the to the Go to State Warriors.

258
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:28,839
Speaker 4: I told you that they Go to State Warriors have

259
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 4: been playing different basketball since the addition of Jimmy Jimmy Butler.

260
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:37,680
Speaker 4: And there's a possibility the Lakers are on the three set,

261
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:41,439
Speaker 4: three seeds right in the round they will play Minnesota Timberwolves.

262
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 2: With that being said, there's.

263
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 4: A possibility that the Los Angeles Lakers may not win

264
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 4: another basketball game for the rest of the year.

265
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 2: If you go.

266
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 3: Money, go to Okay, you played Oklahoma, that money, that money,

267
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 3: that money. You go to Dallas bat money, and the

268
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 3: Houston Rockers are and he's with the Portland Trail Blazer

269
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 3: bat money.

270
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:12,679
Speaker 4: Plaxico, Plasic, Honey, Where are y'all getting victories from in

271
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 4: the next five games?

272
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 3: Can you bet you want to bat money? Are y'all

273
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 3: gonna sweep okac You want to bat money?

274
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 5: Are y'all.

275
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 6: Look speaking of meat and potatoes flat, speaking of meat

276
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 6: and potatoes, steaking potatoes. Luca Donna's been eating too much.

277
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 6: He'd been eating many potatoes, too many cars. That's the

278
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 6: problem right now with the Lakers. I see Austin Breeze

279
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 6: is bringing it. You've seen them. He had a thirty ball.

280
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 6: He Austin rees is looking like an All Star now.

281
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 6: Lebron we saw last night. Lebron is bringing it right.

282
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 6: Lebron's starting to ramp up. Luka Donnas has to deliver

283
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 6: on the promise. I'm speaking for Laker fans. Because you

284
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 6: traded away Anthony Davis, and you saw that Warriors game

285
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 6: the other night. The Lakers no longer have the advantage

286
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 6: when they play the Warriors because a d made that

287
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 6: series of mismatch because of his side, his agility, He

288
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 6: can block shots, he can switch out on step. He

289
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 6: was the ultimate chess piece for the Lakers. Now they

290
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 6: don't have that. So what I am saying is this,

291
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 6: the pressure is on Luca Donna's these playoffs to deliver

292
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 6: for the Laker fan base and for hisself because we

293
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 6: saw the trade. It was a blind side. He was

294
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 6: blindsided by it. He is adjusted now he got to

295
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 6: bring his a game because the margin and era is

296
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 6: slim because the Lakers do not have a center.

297
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 4: You're talking about, Luca Doncis in the playoffs. What I'm

298
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 4: saying is that you're playing the Oklahoma City Thunder. They

299
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 4: gonna back you back in Lexico. Do you want to

300
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 4: put money on it we win the game.

301
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 5: I'm not, I'm not.

302
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 2: I'm not a betting man.

303
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 5: Teas.

304
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 2: Yes you are, Yes you are.

305
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 4: What I'm saying is that the Oklahoma City Thunder the

306
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 4: best team in basketball.

307
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 2: They are.

308
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 4: We're gonna find out tomorrow, and we're gonna find out Tuesday,

309
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 4: and y'all walk is our pushover.

310
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 6: I am with you, Pa, and you have to go

311
00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 6: to Dallas.

312
00:15:58,440 --> 00:15:59,160

00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:05,960

Speaker 5: I love it.

357
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:15,400
Speaker 7: I mean, not even Sinatra could hit every note, that's true.

358
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 5: But maybe people didn't know when he missed it though.

359
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:19,920
Speaker 5: You know, y'all clearly saw me miss right there. But

360
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:21,680
Speaker 5: that's all right. A shooter is going to shoot, you

361
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:23,959
Speaker 5: know what I mean, that's right though until I make them.

387
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 5: your day, sir. Let's continue this conversation with Kuffs.

388
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:40,120
Speaker 2: The legend.

389
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:43,639
Speaker 5: I stopped you, guys because we needed to take a

390
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,400
Speaker 5: quick breather and a quick break. But you know, ding ding,

391
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:52,719
Speaker 5: you know sessions back in go how y'all. I mean,

392
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 5: where were we at with what we were discussing, Cuffs?

393
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 4: I mean now that we you know, you know level,

394
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,440
Speaker 4: you know, playing field. I'm just looking at the schedule

395
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,640
Speaker 4: for the Lakers, and I'm saying that for the next

396
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:10,159
Speaker 4: five games, there are very tough basketball games that they

397
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:14,119
Speaker 4: have to play. I don't think I've ever seen in

398
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 4: the NBA that I can remember that two teams play

399
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:23,680
Speaker 4: back to back, they play each other back to back

400
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 4: in their own respective home arenas. So I think they

401
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:31,360
Speaker 4: just got a bad draw with the end of this schedule,

402
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 4: because I don't think nobody really expected to Houstion Rockets

403
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,479
Speaker 4: be there where they are right now. They're not an

404
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 4: easy win and we all know who the OKC thunder

405
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:46,879
Speaker 4: are and that just happens to be three of your

406
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 4: last five games. And I'm just saying that at the

407
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 4: three spot, it can get really interesting in the next week.

408
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 4: Being that they're only one game ahead of the go

409
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 4: the Saint Warriors, who are playing great basketball right now,

410
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 4: I would be afraid of the Golden State Warriors in

411
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 4: the seven game series right now.

412
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 6: The Warriors are twenty and two when Jimmy Butler and

413
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:14,360
Speaker 6: Steph Curry are on the court together, man, And I'm

414
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 6: not gonna lie to y'all. I've always talked junk the

415
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,159
Speaker 6: Warriors fans, like I said, where Anthony Davis and Lebron

416
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:23,360
Speaker 6: were the duo. But watching that matchup the other night,

417
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 6: it's a lot closer than people realize because Jimmy Butler

418
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:31,160
Speaker 6: has put a battery in the back of Steph Curry

419
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 6: Draymond has always been the engines, that team and the

420
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 6: voice in the locker room. But Jimmy gives them an

421
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 6: extra boost, like an extra security guard. Steph feels real confident.

422
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:44,920
Speaker 6: Now you're seeing Steph doing the shimmys. But to answer

423
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 6: your question about the Okay See games back to back,

424
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 6: that's a new thing that the NBA started doing, like

425
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 6: the last year or two. These Yeah, these back to

426
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 6: backs in the same city. I'm not a fan of it,

427
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:57,440
Speaker 6: but I think at the same time that the thought

428
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 6: process was giving the guys some extra rest without happen

429
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 6: to do that extra travel, stay in the same city

430
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 6: extra night. That's cool. Nobody wants to be in Oka

431
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 6: See for longer than two days though, So I said,

432
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:11,159
Speaker 6: the Lakers take these two l's. Take these two l's

433
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,880
Speaker 6: because they're gonna be l's. I feel like, because okay see,

434
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,640
Speaker 6: we've seen them lately. They did lose to the Rockets

435
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 6: last night, but like you said, the Rockets are a

436
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 6: tough team to play because they have young legs and

437
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 6: Dylan Brooks. Yet, like, now, what I don't want to

438
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 6: see happen is the Lakers limping to Dallas and you

439
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 6: got Anthony Davis sitting there ready for that revenge, just

440
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 6: to knock y'all down a couple seeds, you know. And

441
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 6: I feel like AD gonna be really hyped up. AD

442
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 6: is gonna be juiced up. Anthony Davis's gonna be juiced

443
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 6: up for that Lakers game if he plays the game.

444
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 6: So you're right, you're looking at going on a three

445
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,639
Speaker 6: game losing streak potentially if you lose to OKAC twice,

446
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 6: if you lose to the Mavericks, that's gonna be a

447
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 6: tough game. Then you got to go to Houston. And

448
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 6: I forgot who the last game they played.

449
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 2: The last game is in Portland.

450
00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:00,680
Speaker 6: It's like Portland, Yes, Portland. So Portland really hard. Though

451
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,200
Speaker 6: Chauncey Billis has those young boys playing hard out there,

452
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,400
Speaker 6: Shadon Sharpens playing well. School Henerson's starting there, He's starting

453
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 6: to look a lot better. So, like I said, there's

454
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 6: no easy wins now. So you could look up at

455
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 6: the end of the eighty two game season and be

456
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:17,879
Speaker 6: what sixteed sevente. I don't know, Man, Laco, man should

457
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,639
Speaker 6: be worried because they at the end of the day plaque.

458
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 6: They don't have a big man to combat some of

459
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 6: these teams. So Luca, like I said earlier earlier, Luca

460
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 6: is gonna have to play out of his mind. Him

461
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:31,359
Speaker 6: and Reeves and Lebron, They're gonna have to be on

462
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 6: the A game. There's no margin for era.

463
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:38,440
Speaker 5: Now, we were talking about the tush push and the

464
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 5: competition committee discussing and debating that they put it on

465
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 5: the table for another time a later date. I gotta

466
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:47,680
Speaker 5: bring this one up because I was messing with you

467
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 5: about it. I was messing with you in our group

468
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 5: chat about it. Will there ever be a conversation about

469
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 5: this euro step and beyond? I feel like the euro

470
00:23:57,560 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 5: step and beyond because now you got to say euro

471
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:03,920
Speaker 5: and beyond. Now, I mean, imagine if a Shaquille O'Neill

472
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 5: didn't have to dribble the ball and could just pick

473
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 5: up the ball take five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven,

474
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 5: twelve steps to get to the rim. And there's not

475
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 5: a traveling call. First of all, is there's still traveling

476
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 5: being called? Like how do you still call travel And

477
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:25,200
Speaker 5: if you're calling traveling, how do you justify the eurostep

478
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 5: and euro step plus versus just the euro step.

479
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 2: Where it was?

480
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 5: I guess originally intended for that extra one step to

481
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 5: be able to clear somebody and then go to the rim.

482
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 5: Where are we at with this cuffs, Like, honestly, give

483
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 5: me some real perspective on this euro step and it's

484
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:46,400
Speaker 5: traveling and not needing to dribble the ball anymore.

485
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 6: Well, Well, my background, like I have a player development background,

486
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:51,440
Speaker 6: like I had my own gym. That's what I do.

487
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 6: People don't realize that I did this for a long

488
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 6: time grass rooms, training kids. I always taught kids at

489
00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 6: a young age. You teaching those moves, but at the

490
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:03,120
Speaker 6: same time, at every level they apply. So the euro

491
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 6: step in high school, they're gonna call that a travel

492
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 6: a lot of times because you've got these old referees

493
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 6: that don't watch current basketball referee in high school games.

494
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 6: So I think it's good to teach these moves, these

495
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:15,879
Speaker 6: these different gather steps because that gather step rule is

496
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:19,359
Speaker 6: tricky because in the European game it's allowed. In the

497
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:21,920
Speaker 6: NBA game, it's allowed, but the gather step is not

498
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:25,640
Speaker 6: allowed in college basketball. So what happens is a lot

499
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 6: of these high school prospects that go to college, they're

500
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 6: still training with NBA level trainers and they're teaching them

501
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:33,880
Speaker 6: the James Harden moves. They're teaching them the tool box

502
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 6: the Kyrie has. But you see them struggle in college

503
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 6: sometimes because they're gonna call that stuff. Or you're gonna

504
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:41,199
Speaker 6: take three steps on your spind move, They're gonna call

505
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 6: that in college. So it's all about the player's IQ

506
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 6: knowing what you can kind of get away with. But

507
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 6: on the funny side, it is funny seeing like certain

508
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,640
Speaker 6: NBA guys catch your ball at half court and take

509
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 6: like four steps before they dribble, and the referees, the

510
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 6: referees just look at them like, depending on your star power,

511
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 6: the pending on your star power, we may or may

512
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 6: not call that a travel because I think a lot

513
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 6: of it does come down to star power. Like a rookie.

514
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 6: Rookie is not gonna get the same benefit of the

515
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 6: doubt with the whistle with travel and violations, and as

516
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 6: you know, a veteran would. So it's still funny to see.

517
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:18,479
Speaker 6: But we the referees can never they can never get

518
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 6: it right.

519
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 2: Bad cuffs. What's wrong? Bro? What is wrong with this dude?

520
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 2: Job Morant?

521
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:29,680
Speaker 5: What is wrong? Man?

522
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:31,399
Speaker 6: I'm glad you brought it up.

523
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:31,640
Speaker 3: Man.

524
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 6: My issue with job. Moran is very cut and dry.

525
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:40,119
Speaker 6: I coached kids. I coach a lot of boys, man,

526
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,919
Speaker 6: I'm talking about hundreds of boys that come through my programs,

527
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:44,479
Speaker 6: training coaching.

528
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:46,159
Speaker 2: You still have cut you off.

529
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:49,400
Speaker 6: You used to have a program, yeah, AU basketball. Yeah,

530
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 6: it's like on.

531
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,640
Speaker 3: Team A cuffs were nice. Bro, we like the best,

532
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:54,360
Speaker 3: one of the best teams in the country for our age.

533
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 6: Those eight am games on Saturday morning, Hey, we played today.

534
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,159
Speaker 2: I requested late games because it is.

535
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:06,919
Speaker 6: Up there. You got to use your purse.

536
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:10,159
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, but yeah, what's wrong with John mort Man.

537
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,680
Speaker 6: The Jai is just our coach. Kids like Jai and

538
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:17,159
Speaker 6: it's like some kids. My wife actually said, it's like

539
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 6: you have defiance like some kids have odd like they defiant.

540
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 6: So him doing the gun gestures, it's like, bro, you

541
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 6: have a lot of kids watching you. At the end

542
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 6: of the day, they want to be you. These new

543
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 6: kids now just watching you, which are electrifying like high

544
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 6: flying dunks, and this is the way you elevate. We

545
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 6: haven't seen that since Alan Iverson. You are the Allen

546
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 6: Iverson for the young kids now. So always say is

547
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 6: don't change to you are John Morant. But like at

548
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:47,159
Speaker 6: the same time, you have to be aware and have

549
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:50,880
Speaker 6: self awareness and accountability because it's making you, even though

550
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 6: you might be a good kid, dp down, it's just

551
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:56,399
Speaker 6: making you look like like the villain they want you

552
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 6: to be. So you got to realize that. And that's

553
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 6: my only thing with like seeing a kid like that,

554
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:02,440
Speaker 6: I feel like he's gonna have the right people around

555
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:05,159
Speaker 6: him to keep it real with you. I love that

556
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 6: his dad is supportive of him, but it's almost as

557
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 6: if his dad loves the cameras more than he does,

558
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 6: you know.

559
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 5: And he's too distracted to even be the resource to

560
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 5: his kid that he needs to be. Like yeah, beef

561
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:21,400
Speaker 5: with Shannon Sharp and all this old other stuff. Man

562
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:25,920
Speaker 5: that the boy and the basically threw away his opportunity

563
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:26,920
Speaker 5: to be the face.

564
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 2: Of the league.

565
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 5: He's not turning into like a joke.

566
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 6: Man. The NBA wants to promote this kid, and they

567
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 6: wanted they wanted to make him the face. I mean,

568
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 6: he was perfect. He could have slot. He could have

569
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 6: slid right into that spot when Lebron retires and when

570
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 6: Kevin Durant leaves, when Steph Curry leaves, you would have

571
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 6: been the most electrifying guard in the league. And you

572
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 6: still are electrifying. But I just don't know what Memphis

573
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 6: is going to do this offseason because I don't think

574
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 6: they want to pay him that Supermax because it's a risk.

575
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 6: It is a risk, and I tel he gets the

576
00:28:57,480 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 6: right people in his circle. Man, We're gonna keep We're

577
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 6: gonna keep having the same conversation about Jamarans.

578
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 2: But he's available for the Supermax.

579
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:07,959
Speaker 6: Correct, Yeah, I think they're gonna trade him. I'm here,

580
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 6: I'm hearing rumors that the Myphis is trying to move

581
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 6: off on him. I think they're trying to build around

582
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:14,959
Speaker 6: Jared Jackson and Bang and try to build around those.

583
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 3: If you're a team, why would you give up a

584
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 3: bunch of assets If you know Memphis has no intentions

585
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 3: on giving them the why would you give up for him?

586
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 6: Why would You're right? But I just think with joy

587
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 6: he does put butts in the seats like people want

588
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 6: to come see him play. So I'm still a fan

589
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 6: of the kids. I just hope he figures it out, man.

590
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 3: Because not only cups is he putting butts in the seats.

591
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 3: Every kid in a I'm in the gym every weekend.

592
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 3: Every kid in the gym wearing the shoes. It's either

593
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 3: if they wearing the Kobe's or the Ja Morants.

594
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 2: That's it.

595
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 3: It ain't nothing else they wearing. It's the Kobe's and

596
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 3: the jobs.

597
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 6: He's the Derrick Rose and Allen Iverson of this generation

598
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 6: of gen Z kids. And like I said, I just

599
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 6: want to see him, like I want to see him

600
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 6: really really figure it out and possibly win a champion

601
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 6: ship because you don't want you guys know this, being

602
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 6: former players, you have to write your own narrative, like

603
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 6: don't let them write your narrative for you, Like don't

604
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 6: let them paint the picture for you. And you're giving

605
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 6: them all that right now.

606
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 5: Oh he's painting the picture. That's the problem, Like we don't.

607
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 5: He has to have way more self accountability in this

608
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 5: scenario if you ask me, right, Like, there's no excuses

609
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 5: for him because these are self inflicted wounds that he's

610
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 5: putting on his reputation and on his brand, and there's

611
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 5: no reason to do it, Like you what you want

612
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 5: people to think? You hard, like it's not even still

613
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 5: a thing, like you know we are here, but I'm

614
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 5: watching what's going on right now.

615
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 6: God, I got to say, it's the music, lebar. It

616
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 6: is into this influence that you see with these but

617
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 6: has always music has always been a part of what

618
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 6: It's always been connected.

619
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 5: It's finny. We had this conversation on this very show.

620
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 5: Music has always what is it? We just talked about

621
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 5: a little bow wow and him talking about how easy

622
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 5: it is to take advantage of athletes versus entertainers and

623
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 5: rappers and stuff like that, which I think is insanely

624
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 5: absurd to say. But the thing about it is is

625
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 5: that you still got to understand that within the industry

626
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 5: that we're in, in the sports category, you still have

627
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 5: to be around boosters. You got to be around advertisers,

628
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 5: you got to be around sponsors. There's a lot of

629
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 5: things that go on behind the scenes with handshakes and

630
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 5: trips and dinner meetings and all kinds of stuff that

631
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 5: don't take place in other industries. You know, there's a

632
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 5: certain little conduct that you got to have. I just

633
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 5: don't understand why he continues to be so blatantly like out,

634
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 5: like he crashes.

635
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 2: Out for no reason.

636
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 5: There's no reason to do, no shooting gestures or anything

637
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 5: like that.

638
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 4: I'll jump in and say this man, everybody knows my

639
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 4: story and what I've put upon myself and everything that

640
00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:00,960
Speaker 4: transpire with that, I'll.

641
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 2: Take it to I didn't have a father. I didn't

642
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 2: have a dad or father growing up. Never knew who

643
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:10,240
Speaker 2: my father was until let my freshman yi in college.

644
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 4: And I'm not saying that I'm not I don't won't

645
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 4: tell anybody how to raise their kids, because that's not

646
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 4: any space for me or anybody else, or how you

647
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 4: choose to teach or raise your children. But I will

648
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 4: say this, I have a son and a daughter, and

649
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 4: I love them more than I love myself. But what

650
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 4: I will say is being a dad and a father,

651
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 4: there's a time to be a dad and a father.

652
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 4: And just like you know you was saying earlier, his

653
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 4: father is having more fun being distracted about everything that's

654
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 4: going on. I can't imagine that he won't sit his

655
00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 4: son down next to him and say something more dress

656
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 4: whatever's going on with him or inside of basketball, outside

657
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 4: of basketball, understanding that everything that we just said about him,

658
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 4: that he could be the face of the NBA.

659
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 2: But somebody has to have this conversation with this young man.

660
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 4: I would love to sit down with him and sit

661
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 4: down in front of him, But you can't teach or

662
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 4: you can't you know, judge a parent or on how.

663
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 2: Or what they should do raising their children.

664
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 4: But somebody to this young man, he could be one

665
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:45,280
Speaker 4: of the most dynamic basketball players that we ever see.

666
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 2: And I want to see that for him and his family.

667
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 4: But you know, just the young man down, have a

668
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:57,960
Speaker 4: real heart to heart conversation and let him know how

669
00:33:58,080 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 4: special he is.

670
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:00,520
Speaker 2: Maybe he doesn't that fast.

671
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 5: He better because he's already costed himself once and it's

672
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 5: you know, and twice. I mean, he's going he's heading

673
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:11,359
Speaker 5: towards costing himself again and that just doesn't even make

674
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:13,880
Speaker 5: sense as to why he would crash out like this,

675
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 5: but it is what it is. Listen, Cuffs as usual,

676

Speaker 5: this jokic deal. But other than that, everything seemed to

678
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:27,719
Speaker 5: be smooth. It is Duke blue where you're at, but

00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:31,040

710
00:35:55,920 --> 00:36:00,200

Speaker 5: that Gronkowski had on that throwback leather football helmet and

712
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:08,400
Speaker 5: a throwback jersey and took Steve Harvey. He took Steve

713
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:13,279
Speaker 5: Harvey's lego bust and and Gronkowski spiked it. Did you

714
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:18,719
Speaker 5: ever see that video? Man, the funniest junk ever bru

715
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:23,719
Speaker 5: igat right now, I was sending to you, I said

716
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:27,879
Speaker 5: it to y'all right now. Uh, but speaking of the grid,

717
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 5: iiron before we get up out of here, I saw

718
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:33,320
Speaker 5: a report and Bo helped me out with it. The Browns,

719
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:36,800
Speaker 5: after awarding Miles Gear with the highest contract of a

720
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:41,360
Speaker 5: defensive player in the history of the game, with the extension,

721
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 5: they had some interesting things to say. And well, the

722
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:47,840
Speaker 5: things that jumped out at me was real leader. What

723
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 5: did they say, in particular bowing and we had the

724
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 5: guys quickly respond to it. Yeah.

725
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 8: Brown's owner Jimmy Haslins told a group of reporters at

726
00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:59,920
Speaker 8: the owners meetings, he said, what we've challenged Miles on

727
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:03,360
Speaker 8: is by his practice, habits, by his actions, etc. To

728
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 8: become a real leader of the team, and he has

729
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:07,840
Speaker 8: said he'd do that, and we're hopeful that he will be.

730
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:11,440
Speaker 5: Hey, just mad super quick. That just says to me, like,

731
00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:13,359
Speaker 5: what have you been doing up until now?

732
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:13,760
Speaker 2: Brouh?

733
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:16,320
Speaker 5: What type of dude have you been? In practice? What

734
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 5: type of leader have you been up until now?

735
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:21,239
Speaker 3: You know that report came out, right, you know, a

736
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 3: report came out when Miles Garrett said he wanted to

737
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:27,719
Speaker 3: be traded. A report came out and said, well, Miles

738
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:30,080
Speaker 3: Garrett is not a leader anyway. He shows up late.

739
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 3: He's not doing this, he's not doing that when he

740
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:35,560
Speaker 3: requested a trade and then they gave him all that

741
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:37,719
Speaker 3: money and he was happy to be at Cleveland Brown.

742
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 3: And so now showing up late, not doing what you're

743
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:45,919
Speaker 3: supposed to do, they're hoping the second or the third

744
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,640
Speaker 3: contract we give you now you will be a leader.

745
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:52,400
Speaker 3: This is the problem in sports. They always want the

746
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 3: best players to be leaders. Sometimes that's just not the case.

747
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:58,800
Speaker 3: Sometimes the best players are not always leaders.

748
00:37:59,200 --> 00:37:59,760
Speaker 5: That's true.

749
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:02,879
Speaker 3: Your leader is the god that other people are willing

750
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 3: to follow. You can't appoint your best player as a leader.

751
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 3: The guys in the locker room determine who The leader

752
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 3: is by who they following, who they listen to, and

753
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:14,840
Speaker 3: if it's Miles Garrett, great, and if it isn't, somebody

754
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:16,520
Speaker 3: else just got to step up and be that leader.

755
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:21,280
Speaker 3: And we always expect the best players to be a leader,

756
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 3: and that's not always a case.

757
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:24,000
Speaker 2: And that's okay.

758
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 3: Now, if Miles Garrett wants to be a leader and

759
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 3: that's something that he wants to do, that's great also,

760
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 3: but don't force that on somebody because the players aren't

761
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 3: going to listen. The players aren't going to follow him

762
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 3: because they know and I know what you're doing. I've

763
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 3: seen you ain't even showing up on time, but you're

764
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:44,880
Speaker 3: gonna get two sacks since.

765
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:45,400
Speaker 2: So we got to listen to.

766
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:47,880
Speaker 5: Hey, hey, you're paying me enough money to show up

767
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 5: on time. You're paying me enough money to be a raw,

768
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:52,399
Speaker 5: raw guy. I'll be that raw, raw guy, and I'm

769
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:53,319
Speaker 5: gonna show up on time.

770
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:55,399
Speaker 3: But you don't have to be the leader. You don't

771
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:56,239
Speaker 3: have to be a leader.

772
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:58,840
Speaker 5: If that's not saying so some would say it's a

773
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 5: leading by example, and I agree with you. I totally

774
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:03,719
Speaker 5: agree with what you're saying. I'm just saying for the

775
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:06,040

788
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 4: played with guys who were leaders of football teams that

789
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 4: you would never know. And I'm not taking anything away

790
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 4: from anybody, but when I was playing in Pittsburgh, the

791
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:47,200
Speaker 4: offense a leader that football team was Alan Fanica. You

792

794
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 4: came into the holler on Sundays and he spoke, everybody, listen,

795
00:39:56,800 --> 00:40:00,920
Speaker 4: you paid attention. And obviously I play with some great players,

796
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:06,120
Speaker 4: but your leaders on any team, they don't have to

797
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:08,840
Speaker 4: be your best players, just because they get all to

798
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:12,440
Speaker 4: know the rise and they make the most money. Indeed,
