00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:35,160
Speaker 2: Demanse Yo, you know, I rode one of those bird

10
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:39,560
Speaker 2: scooters to the Fox lot today again, three point thirty

11
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 2: in the morning, wearing a full suit.

12
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 3: That sounds like a vide sounds like a wearing a

13
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:45,880
Speaker 3: full suit is crazy.

14
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 2: Those things go fast, bro that, and I don't feel

15
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,839
Speaker 2: comfortable riding them on the street, And so I'm driving

16
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 2: it on the sidewalk, but the sidewalk is like uneven

17
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 2: and I almost just I mean, I hit a I

18
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 2: don't know, maybe a two inch maybe a three inch

19
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 2: bump in the sidewalk, like between one piece of sidewalk

20
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 2: to the next Oh no, I didn't fall, but it

21
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 2: was a close call, man. And you should see the

22
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:19,320
Speaker 2: Fox Lot security guys when they see me roll up

23
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 2: my bird scooter, full suit, backpack, just walking up to

24
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 2: the security gate at three point thirty in the morning.

25
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 2: Welcome in. It is another episode of What's Right with

26
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 2: Nick right in the podcast and YouTube show like rate, subscribe, review,

27
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 2: do all those things. You will greatly appreciate it. We

28
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 2: have this full week of shows that we are on

29
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 2: vacation for a week. However, we will continue our countdown

30
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 2: of the fifty greatest players the last fifty years with

31
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 2: a slight one week hiatus. We just had number five

32
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 2: and number four Tim Duncan and Magic Johnson. About forty

33
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 2: minutes on those two players. That video came out On Sunday,

34
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 2: we will have three, two and one. We know who

35
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 2: the top three are. The question is the order. Kareem,

36
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 2: Lebron and Michael are our top three. So that will

37
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 2: be coming at you one week from Sunday. But we

38
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 2: have today's show and one more show before a brief vacation.

39
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 2: You might say, wait, the setup looks a little bit different.

40
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 2: It is true is because Demanse is in New York.

41
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 2: I am doing this show from Los Angeles. We will

42
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 2: hear from Demanse in just a moment, but it is

43
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,839
Speaker 2: great to see you. That is a great looking sweatshirt

44
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 2: you are wearing, young man. But before we get to

45
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 2: Demanse's part of this, we will talk discuss what we

46
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 2: are not discussing is we do every show. What did

47
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 2: not miss the cut? Aaron Rodgers, Banana's tattoo? All that

48
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 2: might actually make the show, however, or at least a

49
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 2: special YouTube version of who has the worst four four

50
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 2: arm tattoo? Aaron Rodgers or Demonse Because I now after

51
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 2: years of wondering, have found out what Demanse's foreign language

52
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 2: forearm tattoo means. That may be on the show. Nick

53
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,239
Speaker 2: Curios calls out a drunk fan that is going to

54
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:16,639
Speaker 2: be on the show. I don't know what they're talking

55
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 2: about there either, and John Morant on Michael Jordan, I

56
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 2: would have cooked him. The issue there is the definition

57
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 2: of the word cook. Does he mean beat him in

58
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 2: one on one? He would not have done that. Does

59
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 2: he mean cook him a few times? He absolutely would

60
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 2: have done that. So there's this. You know what, we

61
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 2: actually gave you a little take to all of those things. However, demanse,

62
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 2: we are now ready to go. How are you are you?

63
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 2: Are you a little nervous before you even get in

64
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 2: the show. Are you a little nervous about the tattoo

65
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 2: segment if we do that later?

66
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 3: I am a little nervous. But I love how I

67
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 3: knew exactly where you were going with that as soon

68
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 3: as you started talking, Aaron Rodgers. But uh, I think

69
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 3: people like it.

70
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 2: Okay, you know what. I like it more now that

71
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 2: I know what it means. For years, you wouldn't tell

72
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 2: me what it means. You have a tattoo on your

73
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 2: chest that you still have not told me the truth

74
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 2: of its origin. One day I'll get that, maybe your

75
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 2: thirtieth birthday. Okay, start us off. What are we starting

76
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 2: with today? Uh?

77
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 3: So, Harden takes a fifteen million dollar pay cut to

78
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 3: stay with the Sixers. Big Tennis fan Daryl Morey agrees

79
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 3: with this decision very heavily, as Harden admitting that he's

80
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 3: no longer great Or are we supposed to expect that

81
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 3: Harden expects to win in the future.

82
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 2: Well, listen, we've got to give credit where credit is due,

83
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 2: And James Harden had the option of play this year

84
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 2: for forty seven million dollars opt into that or do

85
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 2: what he's doing. And the exact contract details have him

86
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 2: been finalized, but I think it's going to be about

87
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 2: a two year, sixty four million dollar deal, so thirty

88
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 2: two million this year with a player option for thirty

89
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 2: two million for next year. And yes, some people are like, well,

90
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 2: he was only guaranteed forty seven, now he's guaranteed sixty two.

91
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 2: This is an absolute team friendly deal that helps the

92
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 2: Sixers avoid the penalties of the hard cap, that helps

93
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 2: the Sixers add the players they've added this offseason, which

94
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:15,039
Speaker 2: I think makes them a more viable contender in the

95
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 2: Eastern Conference that we know at least I believe Milwaukee

96
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 2: sit to the top of. Then you have Boston as

97
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 2: a clear number two, and then real questions after that,

98
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 2: what is Miami going to look like? What the hell

99
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 2: is Brooklyn gonna look like? And can Philly be better?

100
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 2: And James Harden is a punching bag of sorts, and

101
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 2: fairly so, because he quit on Houston and then he

102
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 2: quit on Brooklyn and then when he got to Philly

103
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 2: he was bad. However, just because a guy has some

104
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,919
Speaker 2: really ugly marks on his resume doesn't mean we have

105
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 2: to ignore when he does something that clearly and obviously

106
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 2: helps the team and him not op thinking. I'm it

107
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,840
Speaker 2: wouldn't have saved things for the Lakers. But what if

108
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 2: Russell Westbrook had done something similar opt out of the

109
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 2: forty seven million dollars and then agree to a fifteen

110
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 2: million dollar cheaper contract. What would that have potentially opened

111
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 2: up for them? Now, this specific contract that Harden just

112
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 2: agreed to, the Lakers wouldn't have offered to Russ because

113
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 2: the player option in year two. The Lakers obviously don't

114
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 2: expect Russ to be on the roster this year, much

115
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 2: less a year from now. But the point is Harden

116
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 2: is not a fan favorite, and understandably so. However, I

117
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 2: don't think anyone should ever question how much he wants

118
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 2: to win. Now. If you want to say, he would

119
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 2: take care of his body a little bit more, he

120
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 2: wouldn't go out as much if he really wanted to win,

121
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 2: I guess I could listen to that, except for the

122
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 2: fact the guy was incredibly durable, and the guy had

123
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 2: it was incredibly not just high usage, but high minutes

124
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 2: in games every single year of his career until he

125
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 2: got to Brooklyn and he started dealing with some injuries.

126
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 2: That I mean, he was eighty plus games seemingly every

127
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 2: year with the Rockets, playing around thirty eight minutes per game,

128
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 2: near the top of the league in minutes played every

129
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 2: single year. The issue with Harden wasn't that he didn't

130
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 2: want to win. The issue with Harden was that in

131
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 2: the biggest spots he didn't play well. But that wasn't

132
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 2: for lack of trying. And one of the reasons I

133
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 2: would argue the biggest reason he wanted to leave Houston

134
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 2: when he did was he knew that team could no

135
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 2: longer win now. He did it in kind of embarrassing fashion,

136
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 2: and he left Brooklyn in even more embarrassing fashion. But

137
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 2: this is a guy that is going to have made

138
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 2: between the Adidas money in the NBA money around half

139
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 2: a billion dollars, and so it is not it shouldn't

140
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 2: be shocking that he is going to set money aside

141
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 2: to a degree, take fifteen million dollars less to try

142
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 2: to help Philly have the best chance to win. That

143
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 2: doesn't shock me. It is only shocking because it is

144
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 2: so rare that it's done. But even though Harden is

145
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 2: not a popular figure. There is no work around too.

146
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 2: While he actually this is actually good for him, be good. No,

147
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 2: it's only good for him in the context of it

148
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 2: gives him a better chance to win a championship, which

149
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 2: is what I think he truly wants to do and

150
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 2: I think what his goal is, So I'll give him

151
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 2: credit for it. All right, what's next?

152
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 3: Dam and Bill both signed huge extensions with their teams.

153
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 3: But I mean sorry. Beal says that he thinks that

154
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 3: the Wizards can win with him on the team win

155
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 3: a title, but Lillard says that fans need to rock

156
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 3: or rep the front of the jerseys more than the back.

157
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 3: I don't necessarily know what that means. Does he mean, like,

158
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 3: you know, they need to worry more about the team

159
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 3: instead of what the players are doing.

160
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 2: Well, I think he's saying guys, yeah. No, though, I

161
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,439
Speaker 2: think he's saying, guys need to be more like players

162
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 2: and such, need to be more concerned with the less

163
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 2: concerned about themselves and more concerned about the team and

164
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,679
Speaker 2: the organization, which is the team when they Werezation isn't

165
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 2: always concerned about the players. But I understand what he's saying.

166
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 2: But go ahead and ask the question.

167
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:07,319
Speaker 3: Work. Okay, So both players are getting grilled for staying

168
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 3: with bad teams, and honestly, it's it's kind of weird.

169
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 3: I feel like they should get that Jordan Kobe treatment

170
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 3: for staying on their same teams. But what's the problem

171
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 3: here with fans? It seems like the players can't really

172
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 3: do anything right.

173
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 2: Well, so here's the thing. They're obviously not Jordan Kobe

174
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 2: caliber players. And I know you're not saying, yeah, but

175
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 2: guys that you know stayed with one team their entire career. Now,

176
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 2: I should be noted Kobe did demand to trade and

177
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 2: Jordan did eventually go play for the Wizards. Bierstein, what

178
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 2: you're saying the Reggie Miller arc of your team's never

179
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 2: quite good enough, but you stay with the Pacers forever.

180
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 2: I understand the point that you're making. And this is

181
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 2: where I think, this is where we have to remind people.

182
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 2: Twitter is not real life. There are certain elements of

183
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 2: NBA Twitter that no matter what a guy does, he

184
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 2: is going to be criticized for. If Damian Lillard had

185
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,079
Speaker 2: asked it out, had asked out, people would say he's

186
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 2: running from the challenge. He stays they say, oh, he

187
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 2: doesn't care about winning. Bill. To me, it was a

188
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 2: no brainer. Bill is not an all time caliber player.

189
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 2: He's a very good player, a very nice player, but

190
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 2: not an all time caliber player. They're offering him a

191
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 2: quarter of a billion dollars. He knows he can't be

192
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 2: the best player on a championship team. In my opinion,

193
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 2: he's like a clear step below, like real Hall of

194
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 2: Fame caliber player. So the bial thing is almost a

195
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 2: different category. Dame is unique and interesting because Dame is

196
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,319
Speaker 2: an all time player. Dame's a top seventy five all

197
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 2: time guy. He was one of the final cuts of

198
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 2: my list of the fifty gardest last fifty years. And

199
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 2: it's not only that he's never won a championship. He's

200
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 2: never played in a finals. And here is my concern

201
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 2: for Dame. So demons, do this with me. I'm going

202
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 2: to give you four names, and my guess is you

203
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 2: are familiar with In fact, I know you're familiar with

204
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 2: all four of them. But they are guys of this

205
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 2: most recent generation, the best players to never forget win

206
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 2: a championship, the best players to never play in a finals.

207
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 2: Steve Nash, Vince Carter, Tracy, McGrady, Carmelo, Anthony, you have

208
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 2: vivid memories and you can picture all of those guys

209
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 2: at the peak of their powers. Correct. Yeah, Okay, So

210
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 2: here's why I mentioned that. I think we feel like

211
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 2: and Vince I think will be iconic forever because he's

212
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 2: the greatest dunker ever and has so many great highlights.

213
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 2: But I think we think that those guys have more

214
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 2: staying power than they actually do despite never making a finals.

215
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 2: And here's the evidence of it. I'm gonna give you

216
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 2: four more names. They're the four best players to not

217
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 2: make a finals in the era prior to the most

218
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 2: recent one. Okay, and aside from hearing me mentioned them

219
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 2: on the top fifty list, the guys who made it.

220
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:10,680
Speaker 2: Do you know anything about any of these people? Sidney Moncreef,

221
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 2: Bernard King, Alex English, George Gervin. Do those four names

222
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 2: mean anything to you?

223
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:24,679
Speaker 3: No, Bernard King is probably the only.

224
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 2: One, and you don't even really know why it means something.

225
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 2: You've just heard it like that. You can't you can't picture,

226
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 2: you can't visualize any of it. By the way, this

227
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:34,680
Speaker 2: isn't me roasting you for that.

228
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 3: No, here's it.

229
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 2: So here's my concern for Dame. I don't want Dame

230
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 2: to be forgotten the history. And while I'm familiar with

231
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 2: those four names I just mentioned, I think there's a

232
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,959
Speaker 2: lot of contemporary NBA fans that don't know about any

233
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 2: of them, except for maybe George Gervin because he had

234
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 2: a sweet nickname, the Iceman, and he had this amazing move,

235
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 2: the finger roll. There is there is nothing to get

236
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 2: guarantee that Dame's name, you know, echoes throughout history. And

237
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 2: if he stays in Portland forever and they I don't

238
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 2: know that they'll make another conference finals, much less an

239
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 2: NBA finals. I think he's going to be in a

240
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 2: rough spot. Like I think Tracy McGrady. People don't think

241
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 2: of it now. I think Tracy McGrady will be forgotten

242
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 2: to history. I think Steve Nash has some historical relevance,

243
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 2: partially because he was a white superstar and a white

244
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 2: non European superstar, partially because they played such a different

245
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 2: brand of basketball, and then everybody else seven seconds or less.

246
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,599
Speaker 2: Vince will echo forever because of the dunking in the

247
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 2: same even more so than Dominique did. Dominique's another guy,

248
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 2: by the way, I could have added to that list,

249
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 2: I guess of guys who never made a finals. But

250
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 2: he has the thing that Dominique has, which is the

251
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:57,679
Speaker 2: amazing highlight reel. Carmelo might have some right, Carmelo might

252
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:01,439
Speaker 2: have some historical relevance just because he was the Carmelo

253
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:08,199
Speaker 2: Lebron Wade draft class. But Carmelo can be forgotten, not forgotten,

254
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 2: but set aside, similar to how Bernard King has been.

255
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 2: Nobody cares about Alex English. I'm the only I'm the

256
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 2: only person that cares about Sidney Moncree, and then there's

257
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 2: Gervin with the finger roll. So Dame is making a

258
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 2: choice here to stay loyal to Portland, and I'm not

259
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 2: going to judge him for it. But as a Damian

260
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 2: Lillard fan, do I kind of wish that we could

261
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 2: see him play in a conference finals with a real

262
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 2: chance to win it, as oppose the one conference finals

263
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 2: he made when they got swept by Golden State when

264
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 2: Durant didn't even play much less see him in an

265
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 2: NBA finals, I do. Unless he at some point demands

266
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 2: a trade in the future, I don't think we're gonna

267
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 2: see it. The flip side of that is, he did

268
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 2: just guarantee himself sixty three million dollars in his age

269
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 2: thirty six season. That one hundred and twenty two million

270
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 2: dollar extension is his age thirty five and thirty six season,

271
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 2: So financially speaking to hell of a deal. All right,

272
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 2: what's next?

273
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 3: So you agree with the fans basically?

274
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 2: No, I don't. I don't want to know. I don't

275
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 2: agree with anyone criticizing him or attacking him, because people

276
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 2: would have attacked him or criticize him no matter what.

277
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 2: But do I agree that this kind of cements that

278
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 2: he's not gonna win a championship? Yeah? Portland? I mean

279
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 2: Portland is more likely next year to miss the playoffs

280
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 2: than to make the conference finals. And Dame's not gonna

281
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 2: get better in the coming years. He's gonna try to

282
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 2: maintain and then probably drop off. All right, what's next?

283
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 3: Okay? Understood? Uh? Now the Baker has been moved. Jimmy

284
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 3: g is the only good quarterback available. Jimmy's agent says

285
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 3: that they want him to stay with the or the

286
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 3: Bucks want him to be the higher apparent to Tom Brady?

287
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 3: Uh is this even real? And does it? Do you

288
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 3: think the Bucks mismanaged the Jimmy g situation over the summer.

289
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 2: All right, uh, I really really.

290
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 4: Really to do this too, you, I really apparent here

291
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 4: air apparent, the air apparent, not higher apparent air apparent.

292
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 2: It's it's a one of those Yeah, listen, like you

293
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 2: are my heir, Like if I die, you get my stuff.

294
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 2: You know what I mean? You and your sisters are

295
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 2: my heirs. But it's the h is silent. Listen. I'm sorry,

296
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 2: but but I get it. You're like higher a parent.

297
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 2: Like they want to hire him. They apparently want to

298
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 2: hire him. I don't know, Listen, this is such a life.

299
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 2: It happens. I want to I don't know. I don't

300
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 2: know what you thought, but I mean, so this is

301
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 2: I mean, I am more interested in that. Hey, but

302
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 2: you know what, let me tell you something. Let mean

303
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 2: and there's a good piece of advice for everyone. My

304
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 2: friend Dragonfly Jones is the one that made me aware

305
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 2: of this, and he's right. You should not ever mock

306
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 2: someone for mispronouncing a word because it almost always means

307
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 2: they learned the word by reading it rather than by

308
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 2: hearing it. So like if somebody comes across the word

309
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:06,679
Speaker 2: they're not familiar with when they're reading it, they have

310
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 2: to come up with their own pronunciation for it. So

311
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 2: it actually sometimes is a sign of a more learned individual.

312
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 2: In this case, I'm not going to say this was

313
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:18,879
Speaker 2: a sign that you're a more learned individual, but you

314
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:20,640
Speaker 2: just listen.

315
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 3: You know, I could have I could have just taken

316
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 3: the easy route and typed it into the pronunciation thing

317
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 3: into Google. But I just figured I had this word,

318
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 3: this four letter word figured out. It just looks like,

319
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 3: you know, it honestly makes sense with the situation. It

320
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:37,239
Speaker 3: all right, Yeah, I got you.

321
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 2: It looks like the word higher. Just maybe Matt miss

322
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 2: typed it in the rundown. I get it, buddy. I'm

323
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 2: not against you. I'm just telling you what happened here. Okay.

324
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 2: So here's the deal. Nobody wants Jimmy Garoppol, Not at

325
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 2: twenty five million bucks, not a with his injury history,

326
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:57,919
Speaker 2: not without the Shanahan offensive infrastructure with him. You know

327
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 2: how we know nobody wants Jimmy Garoppol. Mike McDaniels was

328
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 2: his offensive coordinator in San Francisco. Mike McDaniels goes to Miami.

329
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 2: Miami wanted to Sean Watson. Miami then tried to sell

330
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 2: a piece of the team to get Tom Brady. They're

331
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 2: so out on Toua. No matter what Tyreek Hill says

332
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 2: about him and haves Miami tried to go get Jimmy

333
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 2: g No, of course not so the I don't buy

334
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 2: that he's I think what's gonna happen with Jimmy Garoppolo

335
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 2: is this, The Niners are not gonna be able to

336
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:30,959
Speaker 2: find a trade. They're gonna have to decide if they

337
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,920
Speaker 2: want to outright release him, and if they don't, they're

338
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,920
Speaker 2: gonna just wait on a team to suffer a quarterback

339
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 2: injury and then hope that team is super desperate. But

340
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 2: Jimmy Garoppolo is a below average quarterback in this league

341
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 2: that because he has been in amazing situations is and

342
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,639
Speaker 2: the people that pray at the altar of quarterback wins

343
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 2: act like he is a huge part of the reason

344
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 2: that team went to a super Bowl and went to

345
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,679
Speaker 2: a conference championship game as oppos to the fact that

346
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 2: he was just along for the ride. Jimmy Garoppolo has

347
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 2: is four and two in the playoffs in his career.

348
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 2: Those in those six games, he has four touchdown passes,

349
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 2: six interceptions, a seventy five passer rating and averages one

350
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 2: hundred and sixty yards passing per game. And he just

351
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 2: makes inexplicable decisions. And oh yeah, by the way, he's

352
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 2: injured all the time. So no, I don't believe Tampa

353
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 2: is chomping at the champing at the bit? Pardon me?

354
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 2: There's another one? How about that? This is when a

355
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 2: lot of people will get wrong. Demon say, did you

356
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:36,400
Speaker 2: know the phrase is champing at the bit? But everyone

357
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,159
Speaker 2: says chomping at the bit because they it's like biting.

358
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,879
Speaker 2: It's like what a horse does. Yeah, it's like But

359
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 2: so if you say champing, people think you got it wrong,

360
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:49,439
Speaker 2: but it's actually correct. But if you say chomping, no

361
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 2: one bets an eye, but it's actually wrong. But the

362
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 2: point is, I don't think anybody is, you know, thirsty

363
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 2: for Jimmy Garoppolo at twenty five million bucks? What's up, pal?

364
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,200
Speaker 2: Looks how you have something on your mind? No?

365
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 3: I mean, whoever created the English language was just an okay,

366
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:08,239
Speaker 3: well yeah, listen, don't wait, because that was probably a

367
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,159
Speaker 3: phrase that came like way later after the English language

368
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 3: was created. But like that, you know what, which is

369
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:23,360
Speaker 3: real quicklogy etymology of champing at the bit, let's find out.

370
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 2: I know what it means, but the why is it

371
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 2: champing and not chomping? Grammar is tells us.

372
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 3: Uh.

373
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 2: The quick answer to whether champer chomp is correct is

374
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:39,400
Speaker 2: both are acceptable. That's a cop album. You know what

375
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:43,680
Speaker 2: grammar is. That's bullshit. That is the same way that

376
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 2: they all of a sudden added What is the thing

377
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 2: they just added to the dictionary that is obviously wrong,

378
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 2: but everyone uses it so much they just gave up

379
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,359
Speaker 2: all think of it in a moment. It used to

380
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,200
Speaker 2: irritate the hell out of me. It's won something so

381
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 2: many people got wrong. The dictionary just gave up there, like,

382
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 2: it's fine, we'll call it the way correct is champing

383
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 2: they just started. Champing stems from an old Middle English word.

384
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 2: It's been around for six hundred years. Relates to the

385
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 2: grinding of a horse's teeth, most likely imitative in nature.

386
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:19,400
Speaker 2: The word's been more modernly used to express biting down

387
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:22,199
Speaker 2: on a bridle. Yeah, okay, that makes sense? All right?

388
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 2: What's next?

389
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 3: Man? All right? Words, So let's talk some rancor. You

390
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:30,400
Speaker 3: revealed Tim Duncan at number five and magic irregardless.

391
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:33,119
Speaker 2: That's the word sorry, irregardless of the word is not

392
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 2: a word. The word is regardless. Irregardless is not a word,

393
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 2: but so many people used it. Merrion Webster was just like,

394
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 2: screw it, We'll put it in there, but irregardless is

395
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 2: not a word, even though now it is technically a word.

396
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 3: All right, go ahead, okay, irregardless. We talked out Duncan.

397
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 3: We talked out Duncan over Kobe last week, but per usual,

398
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,959
Speaker 3: people are still mad. Yeah, Kobe fans want their guy

399
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 3: higher than Magic. All Magic fans would say that he should.

400
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,639
Speaker 3: Kareem shouldn't be high than him. Why is number four

401
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:03,119
Speaker 3: the right spot for Magic Johnson?

402
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 2: It's the It's to me, there are few There are

403
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 2: a few spots on this list that are inarguable, and

404
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,159
Speaker 2: one is Magic Johnson at number four. And by that

405
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:21,359
Speaker 2: I mean there is no legitimate argument that Magic is

406
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:26,160
Speaker 2: better than Kareem, Lebron or Michael, the three guys ahead

407
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 2: of him. And there is no legitimate argument that Duncan, Kobe, Bird,

408
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:36,880
Speaker 2: shaq A, Keem, any of the people but Steph any

409
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:41,199
Speaker 2: of the people behind him are ahead of it. Magic

410
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 2: at four is like to me written in stone when

411
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 2: we're doing of the last fifty years. If you add

412
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,879
Speaker 2: Wilton Russell, it complicates in the last fifty years. That

413
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:53,719
Speaker 2: is one of the like Duncan versus Kobe versus Bird

414
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:57,919
Speaker 2: is a real argument, Steph versus Kadi versus Shaq and Achem,

415
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 2: those are real arguments. Where doctor Jy fit into it?

416
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,640
Speaker 2: Where does Moses fit into it? And obviously the top

417
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 2: three there is an argument for Kareem, Lebron and Michael

418
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:13,159
Speaker 2: all three of them at one, two or three. Magic

419
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 2: at four. It's If people want to know my full

420
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 2: reasoning for it, they can watch the video of it.

421
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 2: But the short version is the guy played twelve seasons

422
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 2: pre HIV. Nine of them he either won the MVP,

423
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,400
Speaker 2: finished second, or finish third. Nine of them he went

424
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 2: to the NBA finals. Five of them he won uh

425
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,880
Speaker 2: NBA Championship. Guy won Finals MVP as our twenty year

426
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 2: old rookie jumping center in game six with forty two,

427
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:42,920
Speaker 2: fifteen and seven something absurd I don't have in front

428
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,919
Speaker 2: of me. The Magic at four is exactly where he

429
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,360
Speaker 2: needs to be. I'm chomping at the bit to talk

430
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 2: about this more. We'll be right back. Welcome back in

431
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:59,640
Speaker 2: What's right with Nick Wright? Segment number two, We play

432
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 2: some We have some fun. If you were just listening before,

433
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 2: if it made the podcast, we talked a little bit

434
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 2: about bird scooters, demons. What are we starting with today?

435
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 3: We're starting with a little bit of tennis. Get to

436
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:17,399
Speaker 3: Oh yes, sir, so Djokovic beat Kurios in the Wimbledon final.

437
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 3: The doll had to drop out due to an injury,

438
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 3: So sadly we missed the match of a lifetime. Yeah,

439
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 3: but uh, who was ahead of the goat discussion?

440
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 2: Now?

441
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 3: And what happens if Novak has to skip the US

442
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 3: Open and the Australian Open due to his vaccine status.

443
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:35,399
Speaker 2: Okay, first of all, I now understand why you didn't

444
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 2: pronounce air correctly, because you spent all your pronunciation time

445
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 2: and energy on Nadal and Djokovic and Wimbledon and all

446
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 2: of it, and you and Kirios and you nailed it.

447
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,440
Speaker 2: I mean, you didn't call him cry g os. You

448
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,879
Speaker 2: nailed it. You got Djokovic exactly right. I am proud

449
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:58,359
Speaker 2: of you in that regard. Okay, I still think Rafa

450
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:02,719
Speaker 2: Nadal is the greatest tennis player. Djokovic, though continues to

451
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 2: make a strong case. Now. It was a shame that

452
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 2: we didn't get to see Djokovic and Nadal in the final.

453
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,639
Speaker 2: Anyone that knows anything about tennis, even if you're rooting

454
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,919
Speaker 2: for Curios, you knew mentally he wasn't gonna be able

455
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 2: to sustain in the final, and he wasn't demanse in

456
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:25,679
Speaker 2: the final. He started screaming at his own coaches for

457
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:29,239
Speaker 2: not cheering hard enough for him. He was like, I'm

458
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 2: up forty love and you you sit down. You gotta

459
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,400
Speaker 2: keep yelling throughout the point. You gotta stand. He's on

460
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 2: the court yelling at him while he's melting down. He

461
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 2: tried to get a lady ejected because he said she

462
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 2: was heckling him. He was yelling at them. Curios is

463
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,160
Speaker 2: just out of his mind. I like him a lot,

464
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,359
Speaker 2: but he's just out of his mind.

465
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,680
Speaker 3: I feel like some tennis players have like the potential

466
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 3: to be some of the most snobby people ever.

467
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:56,640
Speaker 2: So he's not that though. So he's not You're right

468
00:25:56,680 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 2: about that, but that's not him. He's just doesn't have

469
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 2: a full good control of his emotions. But so Djokovic.

470
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 2: Once Nadal was out with the injury, we did miss

471
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 2: it because poor Nadal is going for the first single

472
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 2: season Grand Slam in fifty three years. I think since

473
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 2: sixty nine. I think it was Labor. I keep saying

474
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 2: I think it was Labor, and I never look it

475
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:19,880
Speaker 2: up Rod Labor.

476
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 3: See Fritz Fiel right now?

477
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 2: Fritz?

478
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,679
Speaker 3: Who's Fritz the guy that the doll faced before he

479
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 3: dropped out because of his injury.

480
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:33,199
Speaker 2: Oh oh the match we watched. Yeah, so that's what

481
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:35,479
Speaker 2: that's what I want. Yeah, that he couldn't beat him

482
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,399
Speaker 2: even when he was hurt. So that's what I wanted

483
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 2: to ask you about. So I made you and your

484
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 2: wonderful girlfriend come upstairs to watch the fifth set of

485
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:51,959
Speaker 2: Nadal in the quarterfinals. Be honest, you're not gonna hurt

486
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 2: my feelings. And at one point you did fall asleep,

487
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 2: but you have a bit of narcolepsy where you can

488
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 2: just like fall asleep like that and then be right

489
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:05,119
Speaker 2: back up. What you watched? Was it or was it

490
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 2: not compelling? It?

491
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 3: Definitely? Yes, it was much more interesting than I anticipated.

492
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:17,440
Speaker 3: And like I, like I told my cousin fall May,

493
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 3: it did up my tennis interest about fifteen. It does like.

494
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:26,919
Speaker 2: When you see like this strategy you have to do

495
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 2: the different things you have to do and trying to

496
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 2: like the different shots. Because I saw you at one

497
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 2: point you went ooh, he like you.

498
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 3: You noticed it. I knew he got him. He got him.

499
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:41,680
Speaker 2: It's good man. Oh yeah, US Open, here we come.

500
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 2: But if here's the thing about the US Open that's interesting.

501
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:48,399
Speaker 2: So Federer obviously isn't going to be playing. Federer's done. Essentially,

502
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 2: he says he's going to play one more Wimbledon. We'll see.

503
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 2: Djokovic won't get vaccinated, and theoretically that means he can't

504
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:56,639
Speaker 2: play in the US Open. I don't even know if

505
00:27:56,640 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 2: he can come into the country. If Nadal's injury is

506
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 2: really is, you know, so bad, the US opens around

507
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 2: the corner. It starts in what six weeks less than that,

508
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 2: just about six weeks. I would imagine the Doll's gonna

509
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 2: be able to play. But if he's two injured to play,

510
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 2: then all of a sudden it is wide open. And

511
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:21,439
Speaker 2: I don't know what Medvedev's the rule of Medvedev is,

512
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:24,440
Speaker 2: because are the Russians allowed to play in the US Open.

513
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 2: They weren't allowed to play in Wimbledon. I'm not certain

514
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,159
Speaker 2: what the US opens rule is. Gonna be, but I

515
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 2: hope the doll gets to play. I wish we would

516
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:33,399
Speaker 2: have gotten to see Nadal Djokovic. We didn't credit to

517
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 2: Djokovic for keeping his cool. Djokovic, who dropped the first

518
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 2: set and then came storming back, handled it all well,

519
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 2: and he he handled all gracefully. He's not my favorite,

520
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 2: but I give him credit. He's a great champion, twenty

521
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 2: one majors now and the most I think now he

522
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 2: does have the most major finals of anyone ever with

523
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 2: thirty two major finals twenty one and eleven. And all right,

524
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 2: that's enough for Nick's tennis corner until the US Open.

525
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 2: Maybe we can do this podcast live from Ash.

526
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 3: That second last longer than the is normal hoop match

527
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 3: in twenty ten.

528
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 2: Oh, that's the match I told you about. Do you

529
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 2: know that's the one I told you about that went

530
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 2: like nine hours.

531
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 3: Six six nine hours? Whoa were they? Were they in

532
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 3: the different days or was it nine consecutive hours? Because

533
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 3: from my knowledge and when I looked up, it said

534
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 3: that hit dispatch lasted three to six days, six days.

535
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 3: I can't. I don't really put my put my finger

536
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 3: on it right.

537
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 2: Now, Okay, I don't know that it lasted three to

538
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 2: six days.

539
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 3: Holy crap, what we go ahead?

540
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 2: It lasted eleven hours. The match took eleven hours and

541
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 2: five minutes. Oh, but they did split it up over

542
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 2: multiple days. That part true.

543
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 3: It was over three days.

544
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 2: Okay.

545
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 3: I thought you managed to speaking of my research was no, no, no.

546
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 2: I thought you were saying, okay, good job on the

547
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 2: is normal hoop point. I'm very proud of you for

548
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 2: that is correct. That's the But that's the match I

549
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 2: told you about which made him change the Wimbledon tiebreaker

550
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 2: because when we were watching it and I told you,

551
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 2: they Jane Teiberger. Okay, that's enough tennis, All right, go ahead,

552
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 2: what's next?

553
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 3: It's time for right or wrong?

554
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 4: Uh?

555
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:15,480
Speaker 3: Tyreek Hill claimed that the Dolphins post that posted the

556
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 3: video of Tua underthrowing him intentionally said that they wanted

557
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 3: to shock the league make him seem like he was

558
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 3: worse than he actually was. Right or wrong, Tyreek Hill

559
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 3: is the teammate of the year.

560
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 2: Oh, I think wrong, because the other thing Tyreek said

561
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:32,720
Speaker 2: about Tua was that this is, you know, a make

562
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 2: or break year for his career. But I'm gonna throw

563
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 2: something else at you here. So Antonio Brown plays for

564
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 2: the Steelers and is considered a little eccentric but just

565
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 2: a great player. You know, did the one live stream

566
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 2: from the locker room, that's it. He then leaves the

567
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 2: Steelers and in no particular order, like freezes his feet

568
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 2: in the cryogenic chamber. He doesn't wear the right shoes

569
00:30:57,080 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 2: and has the mistraining camp, then tries to smug illegal

570
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 2: helmet onto the field that he had hand painted himself,

571
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 2: then forces his way out of the Raiders forces essentially

572
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 2: cost himself a chance with the Patriots. Has all this

573
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 2: mayhem with the bucks, you know, strips on the field,

574
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 2: all of this stuff. Right, So with the Antonio Brown.

575
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:23,239
Speaker 2: You know who ended up looking the best after we

576
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 2: saw Antonio Brown the last four years. The answer to that, Nope,

577
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 2: that's a good guess. But no Mike Tomlin, who was

578
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 2: his coach in Pittsburgh. And it's like, my god, you

579
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 2: had this guy for six years and nobody knew he

580
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 2: was a maniac because you had him totally under wraps.

581
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 2: So here's my Tyreek kill point. Tyreek Hill evidently has

582
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 2: had these hot, spicy takes for years. But when he

583
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 2: was with all Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes. We didn't

584
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 2: hear Naria peep. Tyreek Hill was quite as a little

585
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 2: church mouse when it came Tony any media commentary. Now

586
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:05,479
Speaker 2: he gets down to Miami and he can't stop talking.

587
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 2: So listen, and Tyreek is coming to grips with the

588
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 2: fact that again and more power to him, he took

589
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 2: the money and the city and you know all of that.

590
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 2: And the tradeoff is you go from the best quarterback

591
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 2: in football to a guy who's not gonna be a

592
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 2: starting quarterback a year from now. And he's trying to

593
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 2: talk his way through it. Two is not good, man,

594
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 2: Two is not good. Tyreek knows two is not good.

595
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 2: The world knows two is not good. I like Toua.

596
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 2: I sat and talked it to it the Super Bowl.

597
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 2: I root for Tua, but he's not an NFL starting quarterback.

598
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 2: Tyreek knows it too, and he's dealing with it, all right,

599
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 2: what's next?

600
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 3: He's dealing with it. I love it. Uh. Summer League

601
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 3: champs now get rings. That's great news for Kings and

602
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:51,240
Speaker 3: Magic fans. Pretty wild that they're giving out rings before

603
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 3: the preseason. Uh huh, right or wrong. Participation in trophy

604
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 3: culture has gone too far.

605
00:32:57,080 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 2: Right, I I like it. Oh, I don't mind. No,

606
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 2: I don't mind this at all. I hate the folks

607
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 2: who are like, who are all anti participation trophies? I

608
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 2: hate them? So listen. I played little peewee soccer and baseball,

609
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 2: and at the end of the year, Yeah, they gave everybody,

610
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 2: or they gave a lot of people little trophies, but

611
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 2: they weren't the same size trophy the champions got. And

612
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 2: we all kept scored, and we knew who the good

613
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 2: teams and the bad teams were. And as my buddy

614
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 2: Laslow would say all the time, people that are like, oh,

615
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:40,720
Speaker 2: there are no participation trophies in the real world, they're not.

616
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 2: You know what, They're called paychecks. You show up, do

617
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 2: your best, you get a weekly participation trophy. It's called

618
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 2: a paycheck. Now you want the big trophy, the championship trophy.

619
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 2: That's the promotion, that's the bonus. This idea, oh, it's

620
00:33:56,800 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 2: a it's a we're raising up generation of soft kids.

621
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:04,960
Speaker 2: Why by trying to teach young people that hey, commit

622
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 2: to a team, show off, to practice, fight through the

623
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:10,319
Speaker 2: hard times, and even if you're not the best out there,

624
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 2: we're gonna give you a token of your accomplishment, Like,

625
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 2: go to hell with everybody attacking kids and saying, oh, like, oh,

626
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 2: it's a new thing. Really, it's a new thing. I

627
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:22,880
Speaker 2: was born in nineteen eighty four, and I we got

628
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:28,280
Speaker 2: participation trophies. They're like, oh, this didn't exist in the sixties. Okay, yeah,

629
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:30,880
Speaker 2: but a lot of things didn't exist in the sixties,

630
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 2: like letting the black kids play on the same team.

631
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:37,920
Speaker 2: As you complain about participation trophies, so pipe down with

632
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 2: how much you better it used to be with the

633
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 2: we didn't have participation trophies. So that brings me the

634
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:47,880
Speaker 2: Summer League. I'm good with it. Seventy five percent of

635
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:50,879
Speaker 2: the guys in Summer League will never play in an

636
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 2: NBA minute. They want to Cinema christ Kid.

637
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:57,719
Speaker 3: God, Chris Paul, go back and play in the UH

638
00:34:58,280 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 3: in the summer League.

639
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 2: No you can't.

640
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 3: He's not somebody I didn't know if Okay, I didn't

641
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:05,839
Speaker 3: know if that was I really didn't. That was an

642
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:08,879
Speaker 3: honest question. I guess it was a shot at Chris Paul,

643
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:11,360
Speaker 3: but I didn't. I thought that Summer League was like

644
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:13,279
Speaker 3: a thing that you chose to participate in if you

645
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 3: wanted to but oh no, no, no.

646
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 2: It's for young guys. All I guess, mate, and listen,

647
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:20,439
Speaker 2: maybe older veterans were coming off an injury could play.

648
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 2: But it's for young guys. But seventy five percent of

649
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:24,839
Speaker 2: these guys whenever play in the NBA. They wanted them

650
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:27,400
Speaker 2: to take it seriously. Those rings look like my damn

651
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 2: class ring from high school. It's like a Joscelyn ring. Like,

652
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 2: they don't look like they're spending a lot of money

653
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 2: on them. That's fine. Let them have the rings. Everyone

654
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:39,280
Speaker 2: just wants to complain about everything. Let them have the rings.

655
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:41,360
Speaker 2: All right, what's last? Go ahead, because we're late on

656
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:43,719
Speaker 2: time because I went on my brain trophies.

657
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:47,879
Speaker 3: Let's do it. So Tom Brady was on VAK off

658
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:51,440
Speaker 3: the off the Amalfi Coast. Yeah, this sounds nice.

659
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 2: That's where I'm going for really, not this trip but

660
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:57,400
Speaker 2: the one in August. Yeah, I'm gonna stop by the

661
00:35:57,400 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 2: Amalfi Coast, but go ahead and keep going.

662
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:03,080
Speaker 3: They were showing the Minions move well, they weren't showing

663
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 3: the Minions movie anywhere nearby. So Brady posted a TikTok

664
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 3: saying that he was going to take a private jet

665
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:10,400
Speaker 3: to go and see the Minions movie. Yeah, but the

666
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:12,880
Speaker 3: strangest part about this is the Minions and Tom Brady

667
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:16,440
Speaker 3: have beef and twenty twenty one, the Minions posted a

668
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 3: quick tweet saying, ah squeezees like a deflated football and

669
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:25,360
Speaker 3: then quickly just deleted. Okay, right or wrong? Tom Brady

670
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 3: retired to I mean unretired to prove the Minions wrong.

671
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 2: All right, that's obviously wrong. But and listen, everybody knows

672
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:37,399
Speaker 2: I'm not the world's hugest Tom Brady fan. However, this

673
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 2: is the type of Instagram flex that I appreciate. I

674
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:46,439
Speaker 2: appreciate Tom Brady just casually being like It's just it's

675
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 2: such an efficient flex. It is a parenting flex of

676
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 2: I'm on vacation, but I still want my kids to

677
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 2: be happy. It is a vacation locale flex of yeah,

678
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:00,759
Speaker 2: I'm just hanging out on the muffy coat. And then

679
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:04,920
Speaker 2: it is a I am so much wealthier than you

680
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:08,760
Speaker 2: can ever imagine, and that I am chartering a private

681
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:11,880
Speaker 2: plane to take my kids to a movie flex. It

682
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 2: is and it was all in just one little tweet.

683
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:17,279
Speaker 2: So I have I actually have mad respect for this.

684
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:20,640
Speaker 2: That's what I have respect for the Minions, reminding America that,

685
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:23,319
Speaker 2: you know, the Patriots for a long time essentially never

686
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:25,359
Speaker 2: ever fumbled the football and no one could figure out why.

687
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 2: And then we're like, oh, the footballs are deflated and

688
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:29,640
Speaker 2: their waves are to hold and it kind of puts

689
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:31,400
Speaker 2: a you know, a black cloud over a bunch of

690
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:32,160
Speaker 2: their championships.

691
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:36,080
Speaker 3: We'll be right back, but but the Minions, Minions versus

692
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:39,840
Speaker 3: Brady better than all right, I'm sorry, No, we're skipping that.

693
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:43,719
Speaker 3: I didn't I didn't like that at all. I did

694
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:48,320
Speaker 3: not like that at all. But hey, the Minions versus

695
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 3: Minions versus Brady is a better rival with the rivalry

696
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:56,799
Speaker 3: than Argusy, Sampris or Borg McEnroe. Uh, we'll record that

697
00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 3: on the side.

698
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:05,320
Speaker 2: No, that was perfect. All right. First of all, you

699
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:09,319
Speaker 2: got tripped up because rivalry is a very difficult word

700
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 2: to say, and I mean that sincerely. Rivalry is like

701
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:15,239
Speaker 2: one of my hardest ones because it combines the l's

702
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:17,799
Speaker 2: and the rs. So that's a hard one. But then

703
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 2: I think you called Andre Augusty Argacy, like the Argusy

704
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:26,760
Speaker 2: casinos in my hometown, yeah, in Kansas City. I also

705
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:31,720
Speaker 2: think you called John McEnroe McEnroe which is not ideal.

706
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:37,440
Speaker 3: I studied, Argusty sampras or Bork McEnroe, Argusy sampras Or

707
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:44,280
Speaker 3: Bork McEnroe, argus.

708
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:47,680
Speaker 2: You almost got it there. That was great. This is

709
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:50,759
Speaker 2: definitely gonna make the show. Now we'll be right back,

710
00:38:57,160 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 2: all right, welcome back in What's Right? With Nick Ray's

711
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:01,399
Speaker 2: final segment. In a reminder, we will have a show

712
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:04,799
Speaker 2: on Thursday. Then we'll be off for a week, and

713
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:09,279
Speaker 2: then the following Sunday, So thirteen days from today, we

714
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 2: will be back with the player number three, the third

715
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 2: greatest player of the last fifty years in the NBA. Again,

716
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:21,279
Speaker 2: this top three. We know who it is. You guys

717
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 2: have known who the top three was gonna be from

718
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:25,160
Speaker 2: the very beginning. If you, I mean, if you know

719
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:29,239
Speaker 2: anything about basketball, it's obvious the three greatest players, not

720
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 2: in the last fifty years, but ever our Kareem, Lebron

721
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 2: and Michael The question is the order. I have had

722
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:39,960
Speaker 2: so much fun researching this project. Number three comes out

723
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 2: in thirteen well, I guess thirteen days fromhen we were

724
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:44,279
Speaker 2: recording twelve days from when you guys are hearing this

725
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:46,960
Speaker 2: a week from Sunday, but we will be off next week.

726
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:49,720
Speaker 2: We usually try to have some fun in this final

727
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:51,840
Speaker 2: segment of the show. However, there's a little bit of

728
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:55,880
Speaker 2: news trickling out Demons while we are recording. There was

729
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 2: news from Nick Fridell on Kyrie Irving that he was

730
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:03,320
Speaker 2: just flatly, is Kyrie Irving does it look like is

731
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:05,640
Speaker 2: he going to be a Laker? And the answer was yes,

732
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:08,759
Speaker 2: it might just take some time. I saw that there

733
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 2: was news this week and the Lakers don't want to

734
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:14,960
Speaker 2: include a first round pick. The Lakers are gonna get Kyrie.

735
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:17,560
Speaker 2: The idea that anyone within the Lakers is gonna be

736
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:21,120
Speaker 2: I understand all the baggage that comes with Kyrie, but

737
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 2: you're gonna be able to get rid of Russell Westbrook,

738
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:25,279
Speaker 2: You're gonna be able to bring in Kyrie Irving, and

739
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:28,240
Speaker 2: you're gonna get Kyrie Irving for twelve cents on the dollar.

740
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:31,879
Speaker 2: So that's an obvious move. But the other move that's

741
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:36,880
Speaker 2: happening in with the Nets right now is obviously an

742
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:40,719
Speaker 2: attempted Kevin Durant trade. And what's fascinating about that is

743
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:44,359
Speaker 2: his preferred destination is Phoenix, and there is news from

744
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:46,600
Speaker 2: Brian Windhorse that do you want to give it, or

745
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:48,800
Speaker 2: do you want me to give it? Brian Windhors. While

746
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:52,319
Speaker 2: we've been talking, Brian Windhors says that I'll give it.

747
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:54,040
Speaker 2: What's up? What are you laughing at me about?

748
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:56,319
Speaker 3: Oh you said me give it?

749
00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 2: Or yeah, yeah, exactly, and then you started laughing at me.

750
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:02,800
Speaker 3: No, I was just laughing because you said Kevin Durant

751
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:04,840
Speaker 3: wants to go to the Suns like that, honestly, like

752
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:07,279
Speaker 3: it made me laugh a little bit. Wow. But yet,

753
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:09,440
Speaker 3: are you talking about DeAndre Ayton to the Pacers?

754
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:13,440
Speaker 2: Yes, exactly right, DeAndre Ayden. If Brian Windhorst is reporting

755
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:15,839
Speaker 2: DeAndre Aydon, the Pacers are sign him to an offer

756
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:19,439
Speaker 2: sheet or execute a sign and trade very sooner DeAndre Ayton.

757
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:23,760
Speaker 2: So how does that impact Kevin Durant. Well, if DeAndre

758
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:27,920
Speaker 2: Ayton can't be included in a Kevin Durant trade, then

759
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:31,239
Speaker 2: the Suns flatly aren't gonna have enough assets. They're not

760
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 2: gonna First of all, they can't trade Devin Booker because

761
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:36,719
Speaker 2: Devin Booker and Ben Simmons can't be on the same

762
00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:40,439
Speaker 2: team because of that designated player rule. However, they weren't

763
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:45,080
Speaker 2: gonna trade Devin Booker anyway. Mikhale bridges and stuff is

764
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:48,880
Speaker 2: not going to be enough for the Brooklyn Nets. So

765
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:52,879
Speaker 2: I have been so I think that if DeAndre Ayton does,

766
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:55,240
Speaker 2: because he wasn't DeAndre Ayton, we wasn't gonna wait forever

767
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:57,719
Speaker 2: for this Durant thing to get done. So it's not

768
00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:01,160
Speaker 2: shocking to me that DeAndre Ayton is now. The Pacers

769
00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:03,400
Speaker 2: have been tied to him, you know, for a while.

770
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:06,799
Speaker 2: This also is devastating for the Suns. And I don't

771
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:10,120
Speaker 2: think the Ayton's a great player, but losing Ayighton potentially

772
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:11,839
Speaker 2: for nothing, and if it is a sign and trade,

773
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 2: we'll see what they get back in the sign and

774
00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:17,320
Speaker 2: trade obviously hurts them in the final, you know, final

775
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:21,360
Speaker 2: year of Chris Paul's you know window as a championship player.

776
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:23,560
Speaker 2: And by the way, that year might have been last year,

777
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:25,480
Speaker 2: but I can't imagine he has more than one year

778
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:27,880
Speaker 2: left if he has that, so it urts the Suns,

779
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:32,360
Speaker 2: but it also eliminates another team that Durant could be

780
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:35,040
Speaker 2: traded to. So I'm gonna keep saying what I've been

781
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:39,440
Speaker 2: saying all along. The Pelicans are the team that makes

782
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:43,160
Speaker 2: the most sense. They are the team that can send

783
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:45,960
Speaker 2: a young All Star to Brooklyn. They are the team

784
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 2: that has all the picks in the world that they

785
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:51,120
Speaker 2: can trade, and they are the team that could trade

786
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:54,720
Speaker 2: a young All star, bring in Kevin Durant and still

787
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:58,720
Speaker 2: potentially be competing for a championship. Because Katie is your one,

788
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:02,360
Speaker 2: Zion is your two, and CJ. McCollum as your three.

789
00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:06,440
Speaker 2: With HERB Jones and others, you know, filling out the

790
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:10,080
Speaker 2: rest of the roster, that team can absolutely compete in

791
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:13,759
Speaker 2: the Western Conference. And I do like the idea of

792
00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:17,319
Speaker 2: Durant coming to a team in the Western Conference because

793
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:20,960
Speaker 2: I like the idea of us potentially getting Durant Lebron

794
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:24,040
Speaker 2: in the playoffs on fair terms, which we've only ever

795
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:27,080
Speaker 2: gotten once in the twenty twelve finals. And I do

796
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:30,000
Speaker 2: like the idea of getting Durant versus Steph in the

797
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:32,719
Speaker 2: playoffs at some point, which obviously, the last time we

798
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:35,239
Speaker 2: got was twenty sixteen. In fact, the only time we

799
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:38,120
Speaker 2: got it was twenty sixteen, and then Durant joined Steph

800
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:40,520
Speaker 2: and since then they've never played in the playoffs obviously,

801
00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:43,800
Speaker 2: So I hope Durant ends up with the Pelicans. I

802
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:45,680
Speaker 2: always thought the Sons are gonna be hard trade to

803
00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:48,080
Speaker 2: make it's an impossible trade if by the time you

804
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:51,480
Speaker 2: see or hear this, DeAndre Ayton is on the Indiana

805
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:54,520
Speaker 2: Pacers that is today's show. Well back on Thursday before

806
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:55,560
Speaker 2: you take a quick vacation
