Does a great Abe Lincoln? 0:02:22.040 --> 0:02:22.640 This is true? 0:02:22.840 --> 0:02:24.320 Is it true? I mean, how do you know? What 0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:24.880 does that mean? 0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:27.519 From? 0:02:28.120 --> 0:02:30.920 From from all the old from all the old footage 0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:31.359 we've got? 0:02:32.680 --> 0:02:35.280 But we don't really, But I can't wait to hear this. 0:02:35.880 --> 0:02:38.880 America might have been on like some wax recordings, like 0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:41.359 really really early stuff. I could be wrong wax or 0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:45.000 whack wax. Have you ever been to hear is a 0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:45.640 whack recording? 0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:48.040 Have you ever been to Disneyland and you get to 0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:51.960 sit there and see Abe Lincoln on the stage? Did 0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:56.240 you say a Lincoln? All right? 0:02:56.280 --> 0:02:57.720 Now I'm recording on what I didn't hear that? 0:02:57.760 --> 0:03:00.440 What was? It? 0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:04.320 Was recorded once on an old vic trolla record player, 0:03:04.360 --> 0:03:06.160 the very first record players that they had. 0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:09.200 Yes, well, you're losing my interest quick, so let's do this. 0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:15.799 All right. So four score and seven years ago, our 0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:21.040 fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived 0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:26.079 in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men 0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:27.120 are created? 0:03:28.160 --> 0:03:31.360 Oh my god, time is he just hearing the voice 0:03:31.360 --> 0:03:37.520 from Bilitize? Excellent adventure? I think he might be dude, 0:03:37.800 --> 0:03:43.800 I think man, I think that was a reincarnated That 0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:47.200 was incredible. Daniel de Lewis did a little higher pitch. 0:03:47.200 --> 0:03:50.440 Thank you, Eric, I mean I believe that's what they said, 0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:51.200 had a higher pitch. 0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:51.920 Well, we have this. 0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:54.960 Belief because he was a was he six foot six? 0:03:57.080 --> 0:04:00.800 You know whose beard is starting to look a Lincoln. 0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:01.880 Like Lebronham James. 0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:04.480 Yeah, yeah, Lebronham James definitely got it going for the 0:04:04.520 --> 0:04:07.000 Gettysburg address. But we have this belief that he had 0:04:07.000 --> 0:04:10.680 a deep voice. They say he did not, but yeah, 0:04:10.720 --> 0:04:12.320 speaking of if, what. 0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:14.400 If abe Lincoln had the ability to like change his 0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:17.320 voice like Tyre's Halliburton where he goes from my badass 0:04:17.320 --> 0:04:18.160 to like weenie. 0:04:18.600 --> 0:04:21.200 You know, you bring that up as if it's common knowledge. 0:04:21.360 --> 0:04:24.279 If you've never heard that, that's really weird. It's a 0:04:24.480 --> 0:04:27.080 really weird thing that he's got going on Halliburton where 0:04:27.080 --> 0:04:32.479 his voice changes. So let's talk Lebronham James, and thank 0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:37.880 you Eric. The dude had a no, not three, not four. 0:04:39.279 --> 0:04:40.240 He had a night. 0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:40.800 He really did. 0:04:40.839 --> 0:04:42.919 It was his return and people are gonna be like, dude, 0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:47.159 it's the five and nine Jazz relax. They dominated the 0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:49.320 Jazz one forty one twenty six. I mean he was 0:04:49.320 --> 0:04:51.120 close at one point, but then they ran away with it. 0:04:52.279 --> 0:04:54.000 Luca had thirty seven points. 0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:54.680 We know this. 0:04:55.240 --> 0:04:58.360 Reeves had twenty six points eight and had twenty points 0:04:58.800 --> 0:05:02.320 Lebron James a meager twelve points, still double digits. 0:05:02.320 --> 0:05:05.760 But man, was he dishing the ball? Was he bringing 0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:10.040 the excitement? Was he bringing the smiles? Why is that important? 0:05:10.640 --> 0:05:12.800 Because it was noticeable to look like the Lakers were 0:05:12.800 --> 0:05:13.520 having fun. 0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:15.880 That's the thing, because we were questioning, are they going 0:05:15.960 --> 0:05:17.800 to be vibing like they're playing good with at him? 0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:19.960 Is the chemistry going to be there? And he addressed 0:05:20.000 --> 0:05:22.479 and said, yo, man, why would anyone think otherwise? Why 0:05:22.520 --> 0:05:24.680 is that even a question. I'll fit in with anybody. 0:05:24.880 --> 0:05:26.080 And if he's able. 0:05:25.839 --> 0:05:29.279 To fit in the way he fit in yesterday, where 0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:31.640 it's not all about me, Bron, and you're willing to 0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:33.920 dish it and you're willing to pass and make other 0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:37.119 ones everyone else shine. He realized that it all doesn't 0:05:37.120 --> 0:05:40.800 fall on him, and he'll be more well rested and 0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:42.920 he'll be in better shape coming the end of the 0:05:42.960 --> 0:05:46.040 season because it's not him doing everything. 0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:48.640 So it looked like a better team as a result. 0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:52.600 The sentiment that Lebron isn't just gonna make the Lakers 0:05:52.640 --> 0:05:54.559 even better is what's that stuff? 0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:59.159 What's that stuff you wash your junk with in the shower? Hogwash? Hogwash? 0:05:58.920 --> 0:05:59.960 Its hogwash. 0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:02.080 But we did think rich in all fairness, that it 0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:04.920 would take a minute and it couldn't look like they. 0:06:04.800 --> 0:06:06.800 Missed a beat yesterday. Can I tell you something, you know, 0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:10.599 we forget I don't know. I'm so aggravated by this 0:06:10.680 --> 0:06:17.640 sentiment that like Lebron isn't like a generational speciality, like 0:06:17.680 --> 0:06:20.960 not even that's a question of was Lebron willing and 0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:23.680 able to adjust to the new dynamics here where he 0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:27.000 doesn't have to be the star who's scoring all the time, 0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:29.560 who's doing everything. He got to rely on his teammates. 0:06:29.720 --> 0:06:32.839 What we saw is that he trusts his teammates. 0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:35.800 That's what we witnessed yesterday because the dude was dishingant 0:06:35.839 --> 0:06:38.760 like like Danny g said, Look, Madrid Joneson, you. 0:06:38.680 --> 0:06:40.800 Know, you know how a lot of times are politicians 0:06:43.000 --> 0:06:46.359 they say it's tough to judge their tenure in office 0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:49.520 until years later, maybe even decades, where it's hard to 0:06:49.520 --> 0:06:52.760 really decide in the in the moment, hey. 0:06:52.600 --> 0:06:53.440 Is this working or not? 0:06:53.520 --> 0:06:56.920 And you can say that about any president Trump, Obama, Clinton, Bush. 0:06:57.200 --> 0:07:00.520 You can't really tell on the spot how they're will 0:07:00.520 --> 0:07:02.600 have a lasting effect. I think we're gonna look back 0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:05.960 at Lebron James one day and feel embarrassed about how 0:07:06.000 --> 0:07:08.119 tough we were on him, Like this is a guy 0:07:08.320 --> 0:07:11.840 that was constantly compared to M Jay and Kobe and 0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:14.480 Shack and all these guys from the nineties and two thousands. 0:07:15.720 --> 0:07:18.760 Lebron James I speak on behalf of everyone and saying 0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:21.960 we don't appreciate you enough. And I'll say this cove 0:07:22.600 --> 0:07:26.160 when he plays on like Team USA or it's an 0:07:26.160 --> 0:07:30.200 All Star weekend. What does every other superstar forget what 0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:32.840 I say or you say or some dumb jabbroni or 0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:36.000 buffoon listening or watching right now. Doesn't every one of 0:07:36.040 --> 0:07:40.760 his peers, from Steph Curry to Luca to Jokich. Doesn't 0:07:40.800 --> 0:07:44.000 everyone talk about what a great team player he is 0:07:44.040 --> 0:07:46.360 and how he practices and trains harder than anyone. 0:07:46.560 --> 0:07:49.680 Isn't a sentiment that he's the guy. 0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:54.040 I mean, he's always been, but again, it's a it's 0:07:54.480 --> 0:07:57.520 an adjustment. He had to make and he made it, 0:07:57.560 --> 0:07:58.840 and it looked great yesterday. 0:07:58.880 --> 0:07:59.320 It really did. 0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:03.560 Yeah, it look like a solid squad, And as he 0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:07.320 made his debut in his twenty third season, it was 0:08:07.400 --> 0:08:10.120 a good reminder to me that you know, we're not 0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:12.720 gonna have this for much longer, so embrace it. Even 0:08:12.720 --> 0:08:15.200 if you're a Lebron hater, and there's plenty of him, 0:08:15.240 --> 0:08:18.600 I get it, he's a polarizing figure. You got to 0:08:18.680 --> 0:08:21.920 embrace the fact that he's given us twenty three years 0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:24.920 of greatness, twenty three years of things to talk about, 0:08:25.240 --> 0:08:27.160 even if it was twenty three years to hate on. 0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:31.640 It gave you something, man, and I got to respect 0:08:31.720 --> 0:08:34.560 him for that journey. And if you never took your 0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:37.959 kid to see Lebron, now's the time. Like all these 0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:39.840 things were going through my mind when I'm seeing him 0:08:40.200 --> 0:08:43.760 address the press yesterday and smile about his return and 0:08:44.920 --> 0:08:47.400 talk about his career. He's at a different level, in 0:08:47.480 --> 0:08:50.000 a different stage of his life, and we don't got 0:08:50.000 --> 0:08:51.800 a whole lot more of it, So embrace it why 0:08:51.880 --> 0:08:53.760 you can. That's what I was reminded of because he 0:08:53.760 --> 0:08:57.040 even looked a little not physically older to me, but 0:08:57.240 --> 0:08:59.720 older in the face a little bit something about last 0:08:59.800 --> 0:09:04.599 night interviews sat differently with me. It was nice to 0:09:04.640 --> 0:09:06.640 see him smile and having a good time taking it 0:09:06.679 --> 0:09:08.840 in because even he knows, you could see that, even 0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:11.680 he knows that, you know, this isn't gonna last forever. 0:09:11.679 --> 0:09:15.080 I might as well have fun doing it, you know, 0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:18.640 Lebron James, we know it's you know, we're coming towards 0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:22.000 the end. But remember those statue would see about Tom Brady. 0:09:22.200 --> 0:09:26.360 I saw the stat that Tom Brady has a total 0:09:26.400 --> 0:09:30.719 of thirty five playoff wins as an individual quarterback. Tom 0:09:30.720 --> 0:09:34.280 Brady has won thirty five postseason games. You know, that's 0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:39.400 more than twenty eight other teams combined, not all combined, 0:09:39.440 --> 0:09:42.960 but Tom Brady himself has more playoff wins than twenty 0:09:42.960 --> 0:09:46.319 eight NFL franchises. I saw a stat that Danny g 0:09:46.600 --> 0:09:50.400 and I guess we both saw this yesterday. When it 0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:56.160 comes to playoff wins since nineteen ninety six, the Heat 0:09:56.200 --> 0:09:58.720 have one hundred and sixty one, the Lakers have one 0:09:58.800 --> 0:10:02.840 hundred and sixty six. The Spurs the team with the 0:10:02.880 --> 0:10:06.120 most playoff wins since nineteen ninety six with one hundred 0:10:06.160 --> 0:10:08.520 and seventy five. But you know who's above the Spurs, 0:10:10.080 --> 0:10:15.400 Lebron James one hundred and eighty four playoff victories in 0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:17.319 the last thirty years. 0:10:17.280 --> 0:10:20.160 So since ninety six, no team has won more playoff 0:10:20.200 --> 0:10:23.080 games than Lebron James, not the Spurs, that the Lakers, 0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:26.080 not anyone. And again that comes with twenty three years 0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:27.880 of greatness, whether you like him or not. 0:10:28.360 --> 0:10:31.320 And it was cool to see him. 0:10:30.480 --> 0:10:35.640 Just being content and realizing that they're gonna be better 0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:37.800 if he does sort of take a back seat, not 0:10:37.840 --> 0:10:40.120 even a back seat, just a different way of playing 0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:44.400 the game. Again, only scoring eleven points but having twelve assists. 0:10:45.120 --> 0:10:47.640 Maybe the dynamic is just right in La can be never. Yes, 0:10:48.080 --> 0:10:48.679 it felt right. 0:10:48.720 --> 0:10:50.920 Again, it's just the Jazz. It's just the first game. 0:10:50.960 --> 0:10:52.280 But it was a great first game. 0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:54.400 Yeah, Rich, you got to give credit to JJ Reddick 0:10:54.440 --> 0:10:58.400 because the rotations were great last night. DeAndre Ayton's going 0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:00.360 to be a big piece of this, and even and 0:11:00.400 --> 0:11:03.680 Hayes backing him up because what were the Lakers lacking 0:11:03.880 --> 0:11:08.000 last season? But besides some sharp shooting in the postseason, 0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:10.800 they obviously were missing size. And that's a narrative you 0:11:10.880 --> 0:11:12.880 kept hearing all season long. Last year the. 0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:13.960 Eight and had twenty points. 0:11:14.000 --> 0:11:18.480 Dude, Ayton obviously failed at a couple other stops, including 0:11:18.480 --> 0:11:20.800 the Suns and Blazer fans know what I'm talking about. 0:11:21.040 --> 0:11:24.760 He's playing with energy. Luca has that effect on Biggs. 0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:27.320 He's special when it comes to playing with centers. But 0:11:27.880 --> 0:11:29.880 here's the thing, and I'll be the bad guy. And 0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:33.120 I was born into a Lakers family, big fan of 0:11:33.120 --> 0:11:37.079 the team, But I want to see Lebron in this 0:11:37.200 --> 0:11:39.840 role for an extended period of time. Because after the game, 0:11:40.400 --> 0:11:43.600 both he and coach Reddick said, yeah, he's just getting 0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:46.720 his win back. He's getting his legs underneath of him again. 0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:51.440 So I hope that doesn't mean that Lebron, once he 0:11:51.480 --> 0:11:54.959 gets to full speed, is going to go force things 0:11:55.000 --> 0:11:59.120 again and think he needs to score thirty seven points. 0:11:59.160 --> 0:12:02.600 You know, role play your role that you played last night, 0:12:02.600 --> 0:12:05.600 because you guys are right, the mix is perfect right now. 0:12:05.679 --> 0:12:09.199 Yeah, your egos not your I am ego, as the saying goes. 0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:12.400 And if Lebron's able to put that aside and not 0:12:12.520 --> 0:12:17.160 worry about being the main scorer, and and and he's 0:12:17.200 --> 0:12:20.040 okay with Luca and Reeves doing their thing and ating 0:12:20.120 --> 0:12:23.960 like we said, and he's his value is just different. 0:12:24.000 --> 0:12:25.840 Now and he's cool with that, and he shrugged just 0:12:25.920 --> 0:12:29.120 to say, hey, maybe this is the new me. That's 0:12:29.120 --> 0:12:32.160 what the body language said yesterday. If he's able to 0:12:32.200 --> 0:12:33.959 stay in that role and not let his ego get 0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:36.320 the best of them, they could be great this season. 0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:40.199 Could they beat a young okc Uh, We're gonna have 0:12:40.240 --> 0:12:42.760 to see that. But you know it looked great last night. 0:12:43.559 --> 0:12:47.040 You know it's uh, damar, I think about it. Why 0:12:47.080 --> 0:12:50.040 not let Austin Reeves continue to fly unto the radar, 0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:54.840 undrafted goofy white guy. No one really is gonna give 0:12:54.880 --> 0:12:57.120 him that all star status that we talked about, Like 0:12:57.320 --> 0:13:00.319 Austin Reeves keeps bawling and it's uh, I said before, 0:13:00.320 --> 0:13:02.520 it's very brock purty ish, even though he was drafted, 0:13:02.559 --> 0:13:07.319 mister irrelevant, you know, pretty much undrafted, goofy. 0:13:07.120 --> 0:13:10.680 Quiet dude. Let them fly under the radar and be productive. 0:13:10.840 --> 0:13:13.280 Let them do it and that combo of him. Luca 0:13:13.840 --> 0:13:17.439 and Danny were saying, Ayton coming up big with Lebron, 0:13:17.679 --> 0:13:21.800 it's a good team and with the OKAC thunder Yeah, okay. 0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:25.760 She heavily favored in Vegas to repeat. I think it's 0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:28.200 fun for the league and fun for fans to see 0:13:28.200 --> 0:13:31.480 the Lakers be one of those teams that could compete 0:13:31.520 --> 0:13:34.040 with Okac in the West, with Denver and a few others. 0:13:34.040 --> 0:13:36.200 But to see the Lakers and Lebron at the end 0:13:36.240 --> 0:13:37.880 of his career be in the mix. 0:13:37.960 --> 0:13:39.960 It's fun. It's what we want. You don't want to see. 0:13:40.000 --> 0:13:42.040 Do you want to see Lebron end this career the 0:13:42.080 --> 0:13:44.559 way MJ did with the Wizards being irrelevant? 0:13:44.920 --> 0:13:47.120 No, it was. It was emotional, like I said, it 0:13:47.120 --> 0:13:47.600 really was. 0:13:48.640 --> 0:13:50.439 It was either that or I was all emotional from 0:13:50.480 --> 0:13:53.600 watching Selina Ilostinos a family legacy on Netflix. 0:13:54.080 --> 0:13:56.760 Maybe my emotions are already getting the best of me. 0:13:56.840 --> 0:13:59.760 But watching Lebron do his thing at this age, the 0:13:59.800 --> 0:14:02.800 old guy on the court and embracing the new role 0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:06.520 and realizing that I could still be impactful and still 0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:09.600 be a star, Like there's just a different way to 0:14:09.679 --> 0:14:10.679 be great on the court. 0:14:11.000 --> 0:14:13.400 I'm not saying he didn't know that, but it worked 0:14:13.400 --> 0:14:16.439 and it was different. You know, it was really great 0:14:16.480 --> 0:14:21.880 to see. So take your kids, go see Lebron enjoy 0:14:21.960 --> 0:14:26.240 what might be his you know, last season, we don't know. Listen, 0:14:26.480 --> 0:14:28.440 he looked at the team looks solid. 0:14:28.520 --> 0:14:32.880 Listen to what Covino just said it's very important, and 0:14:32.880 --> 0:14:37.320 I don't say that about many things. Cavino says, bring 0:14:37.360 --> 0:14:41.160 your kids to go see Lebron. There are things I regret. 0:14:41.320 --> 0:14:44.560 There's things you regret. Never getting to see Nirvana. They 0:14:44.760 --> 0:14:48.960 very rarely performed on the East Coast back in the day. 0:14:49.120 --> 0:14:51.640 Not seeing Michael Jordan when he came to your town 0:14:51.680 --> 0:14:53.320 as a kid, you may have missed out on that. 0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:55.600 You know, I took my kids to see Show Haltani 0:14:55.600 --> 0:14:57.160 because I just thought it was important for them to 0:14:57.160 --> 0:15:01.280 see show Heyltani in person, right, I mean, it's important 0:15:01.320 --> 0:15:03.360 if you're if you have the ability to show your 0:15:03.440 --> 0:15:05.880 kids in person, like, yo, there's Aaron Judge. 0:15:07.680 --> 0:15:09.080 Why would we not do these things? 0:15:09.120 --> 0:15:11.240 Like this is this is your this could be your 0:15:11.320 --> 0:15:15.040 last chance. This is your dad seeing Mickey Mantle play. 0:15:15.120 --> 0:15:18.280 You know, this is your your This is your mom 0:15:18.280 --> 0:15:20.920 and dad going to see Bob Gibson pitch like this. 0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:24.080 This is the modern day. I you know, I got 0:15:24.080 --> 0:15:28.240 to see Kareem Do It Go. And I know tickets 0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:31.440 are expensive, but I think it's really worth seeing Lebron 0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:33.560 because you don't know how much longer this is gonna last. 0:15:33.760 --> 0:15:38.120 So again, the Lakers are eleven and four now six 0:15:38.240 --> 0:15:41.560 over the five and nine Jazz. Last night an exciting game, 0:15:42.040 --> 0:15:44.880 that four point play, like you said, just the camaraderie 0:15:44.920 --> 0:15:46.840 with these guys, you know, it made me think that 0:15:47.240 --> 0:15:49.240 if he's willing to stay in this role, Danny g 0:15:49.480 --> 0:15:53.400 like you said, he does have more years left if 0:15:53.560 --> 0:15:57.440 if he's willing to because he's not gonna be dealing 0:15:57.480 --> 0:15:58.960 with the wear and tear and exhaustion. 0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:03.120 No, yesterday he was switched out for Luca exactly. Imagine 0:16:03.120 --> 0:16:05.600 having that at your disposal if you're. 0:16:05.520 --> 0:16:08.080 The coach, dude, If he's willing to accept this role, 0:16:08.440 --> 0:16:10.840 and again, it's a great role to have, it's just 0:16:10.880 --> 0:16:12.480 a different game for Lebron. 0:16:13.080 --> 0:16:14.960 Hey, Bud, you're gonna get it. You're gonna get more 0:16:15.040 --> 0:16:17.760 chances to see this guy. If that's where what he's 0:16:17.760 --> 0:16:19.320 willing to do, and the funny looked like he was 0:16:19.320 --> 0:16:21.840 having last night, I wouldn't be surprised if he stuck 0:16:21.880 --> 0:16:24.200 around a little longer, not to. 0:16:24.240 --> 0:16:26.280 Jump all over the place, not to be house of 0:16:26.280 --> 0:16:30.800 pain and jump around too much. Great song by the way, Yeah, 0:16:30.800 --> 0:16:34.200 but you're more like the Pointer sisters. You want to jump, 0:16:34.960 --> 0:16:39.600 you jump cross, You're not Van Haling. Let me jump 0:16:39.640 --> 0:16:44.000 for one second, Danny, you said coach Reddick. JJ Reddick 0:16:44.800 --> 0:16:48.560 couldeen give this guy a mild apology, the same way 0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:51.000 Dan Campbell. 0:16:50.800 --> 0:16:52.600 Was mocked as the Lion's coach. 0:16:52.680 --> 0:16:55.960 Oh, you're gonna bite their newcaps, okay, the same way 0:16:56.000 --> 0:16:58.600 Sean Payton within a month was like, this ain't gonna 0:16:58.600 --> 0:17:01.440 work in Denver now one of the elite teams of 0:17:01.440 --> 0:17:05.760 the AFC. JJ Reddick was considered a Lebron's buddy. Higher 0:17:06.800 --> 0:17:12.040 that's true and his podcast partner, Yeah, oh it's his 0:17:12.119 --> 0:17:15.040 podcast partner, and oh yeah, he's a loudmouth on a 0:17:15.359 --> 0:17:18.560 you know, first take with Steven A. JJ Redick is 0:17:18.600 --> 0:17:23.600 proving to be a legitimate, solid NBA coach and maybe 0:17:23.640 --> 0:17:26.360 you deserve a maybe he deserves a little like, yeah, 0:17:26.400 --> 0:17:27.800 so are we underestimated you, bud. 0:17:28.640 --> 0:17:30.680 Now, he'll get that if he can lead the team 0:17:30.760 --> 0:17:34.399 past the thunder, because that's obviously the test here, this 0:17:34.520 --> 0:17:37.280 chemistry and this fun story and them having fun, it's 0:17:37.320 --> 0:17:40.280 all for nothing if they can't get past. Okay, see, 0:17:40.280 --> 0:17:42.560 who are just blowing out teams so far. 0:17:42.800 --> 0:17:45.520 Out because they have that chemistry that the Lakers played 0:17:45.560 --> 0:17:47.000 with last night. They have that chemistry. 0:17:47.119 --> 0:17:48.320 Yeah, they already have it in. 0:17:48.359 --> 0:17:51.119 They have that energy, they have that youth right and 0:17:51.160 --> 0:17:54.800 that ability. They've proven it. But the Lakers got some 0:17:54.800 --> 0:17:59.640 some some legends. They've got Luca, they got Lebron. They 0:17:59.800 --> 0:18:02.520 see need to have the chemistry. Can somebody's younger guys 0:18:02.520 --> 0:18:04.840 step up, like you said, Danny g somebody's big guys 0:18:04.840 --> 0:18:08.560 step up. Can Austin Reeves continue to be that that 0:18:08.880 --> 0:18:10.320 energy in that force that. 0:18:10.240 --> 0:18:10.760 They need. 0:18:12.680 --> 0:18:14.119 Gets some playing time and fit in. 0:18:14.200 --> 0:18:16.600 So I wouldn't count them out. They got some things 0:18:16.640 --> 0:18:20.200 that okaysee doesn't okay, see might have that youth energy. 0:18:21.160 --> 0:18:24.320 Lakers got legend, they got Luca and Lebron, and and 0:18:24.359 --> 0:18:25.959 if they could play the way they played last night, 0:18:26.160 --> 0:18:26.879 it could happen. 0:18:27.040 --> 0:18:29.359 It could happen to catch fire or keep fire going. 0:18:30.920 --> 0:18:33.840 I mean, I can I give you a little, uh, 0:18:34.320 --> 0:18:38.320 a little fun fact though about this year's Oklahoma City 0:18:38.320 --> 0:18:40.800 thunder that would discourage any other team in the of 0:18:40.840 --> 0:18:44.040 the NBA fun fact. You say, huh, let us decide 0:18:44.040 --> 0:18:48.200 if it's fun or not. It's a mildly fun fact. 0:18:48.280 --> 0:18:48.600 Okay. 0:18:49.160 --> 0:18:53.120 I don't want you to falsely advertise you're not gonna 0:18:53.119 --> 0:18:56.200 be rolling around like man Rich, you got me again. 0:18:57.400 --> 0:19:01.400 Okase has the highest point differential. 0:19:01.440 --> 0:19:03.400 Now, I know it's early where we're in the you know. 0:19:03.560 --> 0:19:09.280 First month, but they have the highest point differential per 0:19:09.400 --> 0:19:13.720 game by any regular season team in NBA history. They're 0:19:13.720 --> 0:19:16.439 beating teams by an average of fifteen point four to 0:19:16.440 --> 0:19:21.600 seven points, so their win differential on average, as Danny said, 0:19:21.640 --> 0:19:25.879 they're smoking teams. It's not like they're you know, I 0:19:26.040 --> 0:19:28.560 was remember opening that of the NBA. They didn't they 0:19:28.560 --> 0:19:30.880 win in ot in a very close game? 0:19:33.280 --> 0:19:33.520 Yeah? 0:19:33.600 --> 0:19:38.840 Since then the first game, wasn't it. Yeah? Yeah, yeah, 0:19:38.840 --> 0:19:41.000 they beat the Rockets, right, it wasn't the Rockets. 0:19:42.080 --> 0:19:43.040 Yeah? 0:19:43.160 --> 0:19:46.919 Since then smoking everyone. So don't be shocked if this 0:19:47.000 --> 0:19:52.400 team just continues to dominate. So we'll come we'll come 0:19:52.440 --> 0:19:54.399 back with some fun NFL. We're gonna talk about the 0:19:54.480 --> 0:19:56.120 NFL for the rest of the show. In for Dan 0:19:56.160 --> 0:20:00.280 Patrick and spot our video guys got his midweek major segment. 0:20:00.320 --> 0:20:01.280 That's where we get. 0:20:01.720 --> 0:20:03.440 Thrown in the loop on some great stories in the 0:20:03.480 --> 0:20:05.639 world of sports and pop culture that you might have missed, 0:20:05.640 --> 0:20:07.879
