0:00:30.160 --> 0:00:35.160
<v Speaker 2>Demanse Yo, you know, I rode one of those bird

0:00:35.240 --> 0:00:39.560
<v Speaker 2>scooters to the Fox lot today again, three point thirty

0:00:39.560 --> 0:00:41.320
<v Speaker 2>in the morning, wearing a full suit.

0:00:42.200 --> 0:00:44.720
<v Speaker 3>That sounds like a vide sounds like a wearing a

0:00:44.760 --> 0:00:45.880
<v Speaker 3>full suit is crazy.

0:00:45.960 --> 0:00:49.640
<v Speaker 2>Those things go fast, bro that, and I don't feel

0:00:49.640 --> 0:00:52.839
<v Speaker 2>comfortable riding them on the street, And so I'm driving

0:00:52.880 --> 0:00:57.000
<v Speaker 2>it on the sidewalk, but the sidewalk is like uneven

0:00:57.880 --> 0:01:01.440
<v Speaker 2>and I almost just I mean, I hit a I

0:01:01.440 --> 0:01:04.080
<v Speaker 2>don't know, maybe a two inch maybe a three inch

0:01:05.240 --> 0:01:08.200
<v Speaker 2>bump in the sidewalk, like between one piece of sidewalk

0:01:08.200 --> 0:01:11.040
<v Speaker 2>to the next Oh no, I didn't fall, but it

0:01:11.080 --> 0:01:14.720
<v Speaker 2>was a close call, man. And you should see the

0:01:15.480 --> 0:01:19.320
<v Speaker 2>Fox Lot security guys when they see me roll up

0:01:19.880 --> 0:01:24.959
<v Speaker 2>my bird scooter, full suit, backpack, just walking up to

0:01:25.000 --> 0:01:28.120
<v Speaker 2>the security gate at three point thirty in the morning.

0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:42.720
<v Speaker 2>Welcome in. It is another episode of What's Right with

0:01:42.840 --> 0:01:46.880
<v Speaker 2>Nick right in the podcast and YouTube show like rate, subscribe, review,

0:01:46.920 --> 0:01:49.720
<v Speaker 2>do all those things. You will greatly appreciate it. We

0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:52.240
<v Speaker 2>have this full week of shows that we are on

0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:56.920
<v Speaker 2>vacation for a week. However, we will continue our countdown

0:01:56.960 --> 0:01:58.960
<v Speaker 2>of the fifty greatest players the last fifty years with

0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:02.480
<v Speaker 2>a slight one week hiatus. We just had number five

0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:07.200
<v Speaker 2>and number four Tim Duncan and Magic Johnson. About forty

0:02:07.280 --> 0:02:11.560
<v Speaker 2>minutes on those two players. That video came out On Sunday,

0:02:11.919 --> 0:02:14.560
<v Speaker 2>we will have three, two and one. We know who

0:02:14.600 --> 0:02:16.919
<v Speaker 2>the top three are. The question is the order. Kareem,

0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:21.200
<v Speaker 2>Lebron and Michael are our top three. So that will

0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:23.640
<v Speaker 2>be coming at you one week from Sunday. But we

0:02:23.680 --> 0:02:27.400
<v Speaker 2>have today's show and one more show before a brief vacation.

0:02:27.600 --> 0:02:30.200
<v Speaker 2>You might say, wait, the setup looks a little bit different.

0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:33.160
<v Speaker 2>It is true is because Demanse is in New York.

0:02:33.320 --> 0:02:36.480
<v Speaker 2>I am doing this show from Los Angeles. We will

0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:38.560
<v Speaker 2>hear from Demanse in just a moment, but it is

0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:40.839
<v Speaker 2>great to see you. That is a great looking sweatshirt

0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:43.120
<v Speaker 2>you are wearing, young man. But before we get to

0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:47.000
<v Speaker 2>Demanse's part of this, we will talk discuss what we

0:02:47.040 --> 0:02:49.880
<v Speaker 2>are not discussing is we do every show. What did

0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:54.280
<v Speaker 2>not miss the cut? Aaron Rodgers, Banana's tattoo? All that

0:02:54.360 --> 0:02:57.080
<v Speaker 2>might actually make the show, however, or at least a

0:02:57.120 --> 0:03:00.120
<v Speaker 2>special YouTube version of who has the worst four four

0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:04.680
<v Speaker 2>arm tattoo? Aaron Rodgers or Demonse Because I now after

0:03:04.880 --> 0:03:09.120
<v Speaker 2>years of wondering, have found out what Demanse's foreign language

0:03:09.280 --> 0:03:12.440
<v Speaker 2>forearm tattoo means. That may be on the show. Nick

0:03:12.520 --> 0:03:15.239
<v Speaker 2>Curios calls out a drunk fan that is going to

0:03:15.280 --> 0:03:16.639
<v Speaker 2>be on the show. I don't know what they're talking

0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:19.920
<v Speaker 2>about there either, and John Morant on Michael Jordan, I

0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:23.280
<v Speaker 2>would have cooked him. The issue there is the definition

0:03:23.360 --> 0:03:25.920
<v Speaker 2>of the word cook. Does he mean beat him in

0:03:25.960 --> 0:03:28.160
<v Speaker 2>one on one? He would not have done that. Does

0:03:28.200 --> 0:03:31.480
<v Speaker 2>he mean cook him a few times? He absolutely would

0:03:31.520 --> 0:03:34.200
<v Speaker 2>have done that. So there's this. You know what, we

0:03:34.240 --> 0:03:37.160
<v Speaker 2>actually gave you a little take to all of those things. However, demanse,

0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:40.280
<v Speaker 2>we are now ready to go. How are you are you?

0:03:40.440 --> 0:03:41.920
<v Speaker 2>Are you a little nervous before you even get in

0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:43.880
<v Speaker 2>the show. Are you a little nervous about the tattoo

0:03:43.960 --> 0:03:45.240
<v Speaker 2>segment if we do that later?

0:03:47.760 --> 0:03:49.600
<v Speaker 3>I am a little nervous. But I love how I

0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:51.560
<v Speaker 3>knew exactly where you were going with that as soon

0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:54.320
<v Speaker 3>as you started talking, Aaron Rodgers. But uh, I think

0:03:54.360 --> 0:03:55.080
<v Speaker 3>people like it.

0:03:55.800 --> 0:03:58.240
<v Speaker 2>Okay, you know what. I like it more now that

0:03:58.400 --> 0:04:02.160
<v Speaker 2>I know what it means. For years, you wouldn't tell

0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:03.520
<v Speaker 2>me what it means. You have a tattoo on your

0:04:03.640 --> 0:04:06.080
<v Speaker 2>chest that you still have not told me the truth

0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:08.360
<v Speaker 2>of its origin. One day I'll get that, maybe your

0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:11.360
<v Speaker 2>thirtieth birthday. Okay, start us off. What are we starting

0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:12.960
<v Speaker 2>with today? Uh?

0:04:13.000 --> 0:04:15.720
<v Speaker 3>So, Harden takes a fifteen million dollar pay cut to

0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:19.360
<v Speaker 3>stay with the Sixers. Big Tennis fan Daryl Morey agrees

0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:23.240
<v Speaker 3>with this decision very heavily, as Harden admitting that he's

0:04:23.279 --> 0:04:25.880
<v Speaker 3>no longer great Or are we supposed to expect that

0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:27.800
<v Speaker 3>Harden expects to win in the future.

0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:32.280
<v Speaker 2>Well, listen, we've got to give credit where credit is due,

0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:36.080
<v Speaker 2>And James Harden had the option of play this year

0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:40.440
<v Speaker 2>for forty seven million dollars opt into that or do

0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:43.480
<v Speaker 2>what he's doing. And the exact contract details have him

0:04:43.480 --> 0:04:45.320
<v Speaker 2>been finalized, but I think it's going to be about

0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:49.640
<v Speaker 2>a two year, sixty four million dollar deal, so thirty

0:04:49.680 --> 0:04:52.000
<v Speaker 2>two million this year with a player option for thirty

0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:55.240
<v Speaker 2>two million for next year. And yes, some people are like, well,

0:04:55.600 --> 0:04:59.120
<v Speaker 2>he was only guaranteed forty seven, now he's guaranteed sixty two.

0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:04.719
<v Speaker 2>This is an absolute team friendly deal that helps the

0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:08.200
<v Speaker 2>Sixers avoid the penalties of the hard cap, that helps

0:05:08.240 --> 0:05:11.560
<v Speaker 2>the Sixers add the players they've added this offseason, which

0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:15.039
<v Speaker 2>I think makes them a more viable contender in the

0:05:15.080 --> 0:05:18.640
<v Speaker 2>Eastern Conference that we know at least I believe Milwaukee

0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:21.360
<v Speaker 2>sit to the top of. Then you have Boston as

0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:24.520
<v Speaker 2>a clear number two, and then real questions after that,

0:05:24.560 --> 0:05:26.719
<v Speaker 2>what is Miami going to look like? What the hell

0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:29.960
<v Speaker 2>is Brooklyn gonna look like? And can Philly be better?

0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:34.320
<v Speaker 2>And James Harden is a punching bag of sorts, and

0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:37.960
<v Speaker 2>fairly so, because he quit on Houston and then he

0:05:38.080 --> 0:05:40.480
<v Speaker 2>quit on Brooklyn and then when he got to Philly

0:05:40.520 --> 0:05:44.400
<v Speaker 2>he was bad. However, just because a guy has some

0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:47.919
<v Speaker 2>really ugly marks on his resume doesn't mean we have

0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:52.880
<v Speaker 2>to ignore when he does something that clearly and obviously

0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:57.520
<v Speaker 2>helps the team and him not op thinking. I'm it

0:05:57.520 --> 0:06:00.840
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't have saved things for the Lakers. But what if

0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:03.920
<v Speaker 2>Russell Westbrook had done something similar opt out of the

0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:07.960
<v Speaker 2>forty seven million dollars and then agree to a fifteen

0:06:08.080 --> 0:06:12.120
<v Speaker 2>million dollar cheaper contract. What would that have potentially opened

0:06:12.200 --> 0:06:15.080
<v Speaker 2>up for them? Now, this specific contract that Harden just

0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:18.160
<v Speaker 2>agreed to, the Lakers wouldn't have offered to Russ because

0:06:18.240 --> 0:06:21.640
<v Speaker 2>the player option in year two. The Lakers obviously don't

0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:24.159
<v Speaker 2>expect Russ to be on the roster this year, much

0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:27.160
<v Speaker 2>less a year from now. But the point is Harden

0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:32.400
<v Speaker 2>is not a fan favorite, and understandably so. However, I

0:06:32.480 --> 0:06:36.640
<v Speaker 2>don't think anyone should ever question how much he wants

0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:39.120
<v Speaker 2>to win. Now. If you want to say, he would

0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:40.719
<v Speaker 2>take care of his body a little bit more, he

0:06:40.720 --> 0:06:42.880
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't go out as much if he really wanted to win,

0:06:43.320 --> 0:06:45.200
<v Speaker 2>I guess I could listen to that, except for the

0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:49.560
<v Speaker 2>fact the guy was incredibly durable, and the guy had

0:06:49.880 --> 0:06:53.920
<v Speaker 2>it was incredibly not just high usage, but high minutes

0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:57.120
<v Speaker 2>in games every single year of his career until he

0:06:57.160 --> 0:06:59.960
<v Speaker 2>got to Brooklyn and he started dealing with some injuries.

0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:02.839
<v Speaker 2>That I mean, he was eighty plus games seemingly every

0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:06.280
<v Speaker 2>year with the Rockets, playing around thirty eight minutes per game,

0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:08.680
<v Speaker 2>near the top of the league in minutes played every

0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:11.080
<v Speaker 2>single year. The issue with Harden wasn't that he didn't

0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:13.880
<v Speaker 2>want to win. The issue with Harden was that in

0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:16.200
<v Speaker 2>the biggest spots he didn't play well. But that wasn't

0:07:16.240 --> 0:07:19.720
<v Speaker 2>for lack of trying. And one of the reasons I

0:07:19.760 --> 0:07:23.200
<v Speaker 2>would argue the biggest reason he wanted to leave Houston

0:07:23.280 --> 0:07:26.160
<v Speaker 2>when he did was he knew that team could no

0:07:26.240 --> 0:07:30.640
<v Speaker 2>longer win now. He did it in kind of embarrassing fashion,

0:07:30.680 --> 0:07:33.680
<v Speaker 2>and he left Brooklyn in even more embarrassing fashion. But

0:07:33.800 --> 0:07:36.160
<v Speaker 2>this is a guy that is going to have made

0:07:36.440 --> 0:07:39.760
<v Speaker 2>between the Adidas money in the NBA money around half

0:07:39.840 --> 0:07:44.080
<v Speaker 2>a billion dollars, and so it is not it shouldn't

0:07:44.120 --> 0:07:47.680
<v Speaker 2>be shocking that he is going to set money aside

0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:51.120
<v Speaker 2>to a degree, take fifteen million dollars less to try

0:07:51.160 --> 0:07:53.520
<v Speaker 2>to help Philly have the best chance to win. That

0:07:53.640 --> 0:07:57.200
<v Speaker 2>doesn't shock me. It is only shocking because it is

0:07:57.240 --> 0:07:59.600
<v Speaker 2>so rare that it's done. But even though Harden is

0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:03.480
<v Speaker 2>not a popular figure. There is no work around too.

0:08:03.880 --> 0:08:07.200
<v Speaker 2>While he actually this is actually good for him, be good. No,

0:08:07.600 --> 0:08:09.600
<v Speaker 2>it's only good for him in the context of it

0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:12.840
<v Speaker 2>gives him a better chance to win a championship, which

0:08:12.880 --> 0:08:14.840
<v Speaker 2>is what I think he truly wants to do and

0:08:14.880 --> 0:08:16.720
<v Speaker 2>I think what his goal is, So I'll give him

0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:18.440
<v Speaker 2>credit for it. All right, what's next?

0:08:19.920 --> 0:08:23.160
<v Speaker 3>Dam and Bill both signed huge extensions with their teams.

0:08:23.840 --> 0:08:26.720
<v Speaker 3>But I mean sorry. Beal says that he thinks that

0:08:26.720 --> 0:08:28.720
<v Speaker 3>the Wizards can win with him on the team win

0:08:28.720 --> 0:08:32.400
<v Speaker 3>a title, but Lillard says that fans need to rock

0:08:32.600 --> 0:08:34.880
<v Speaker 3>or rep the front of the jerseys more than the back.

0:08:34.920 --> 0:08:37.800
<v Speaker 3>I don't necessarily know what that means. Does he mean, like,

0:08:39.000 --> 0:08:41.280
<v Speaker 3>you know, they need to worry more about the team

0:08:41.360 --> 0:08:42.760
<v Speaker 3>instead of what the players are doing.

0:08:43.400 --> 0:08:47.200
<v Speaker 2>Well, I think he's saying guys, yeah. No, though, I

0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:50.439
<v Speaker 2>think he's saying, guys need to be more like players

0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:54.160
<v Speaker 2>and such, need to be more concerned with the less

0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:57.240
<v Speaker 2>concerned about themselves and more concerned about the team and

0:08:57.280 --> 0:09:00.679
<v Speaker 2>the organization, which is the team when they Werezation isn't

0:09:00.679 --> 0:09:02.760
<v Speaker 2>always concerned about the players. But I understand what he's saying.

0:09:02.760 --> 0:09:03.800
<v Speaker 2>But go ahead and ask the question.

0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:07.319
<v Speaker 3>Work. Okay, So both players are getting grilled for staying

0:09:07.320 --> 0:09:10.160
<v Speaker 3>with bad teams, and honestly, it's it's kind of weird.

0:09:10.160 --> 0:09:12.640
<v Speaker 3>I feel like they should get that Jordan Kobe treatment

0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:15.080
<v Speaker 3>for staying on their same teams. But what's the problem

0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:16.920
<v Speaker 3>here with fans? It seems like the players can't really

0:09:16.960 --> 0:09:17.640
<v Speaker 3>do anything right.

0:09:18.240 --> 0:09:21.600
<v Speaker 2>Well, so here's the thing. They're obviously not Jordan Kobe

0:09:21.640 --> 0:09:24.320
<v Speaker 2>caliber players. And I know you're not saying, yeah, but

0:09:24.559 --> 0:09:28.240
<v Speaker 2>guys that you know stayed with one team their entire career. Now,

0:09:28.240 --> 0:09:30.040
<v Speaker 2>I should be noted Kobe did demand to trade and

0:09:30.120 --> 0:09:32.400
<v Speaker 2>Jordan did eventually go play for the Wizards. Bierstein, what

0:09:32.440 --> 0:09:35.760
<v Speaker 2>you're saying the Reggie Miller arc of your team's never

0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:39.280
<v Speaker 2>quite good enough, but you stay with the Pacers forever.

0:09:39.640 --> 0:09:43.320
<v Speaker 2>I understand the point that you're making. And this is

0:09:43.360 --> 0:09:46.280
<v Speaker 2>where I think, this is where we have to remind people.

0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:49.440
<v Speaker 2>Twitter is not real life. There are certain elements of

0:09:49.520 --> 0:09:53.120
<v Speaker 2>NBA Twitter that no matter what a guy does, he

0:09:53.240 --> 0:09:56.040
<v Speaker 2>is going to be criticized for. If Damian Lillard had

0:09:56.200 --> 0:09:59.079
<v Speaker 2>asked it out, had asked out, people would say he's

0:09:59.120 --> 0:10:01.440
<v Speaker 2>running from the challenge. He stays they say, oh, he

0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:05.280
<v Speaker 2>doesn't care about winning. Bill. To me, it was a

0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:10.520
<v Speaker 2>no brainer. Bill is not an all time caliber player.

0:10:10.720 --> 0:10:13.520
<v Speaker 2>He's a very good player, a very nice player, but

0:10:13.600 --> 0:10:17.160
<v Speaker 2>not an all time caliber player. They're offering him a

0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:21.400
<v Speaker 2>quarter of a billion dollars. He knows he can't be

0:10:21.480 --> 0:10:24.600
<v Speaker 2>the best player on a championship team. In my opinion,

0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:28.200
<v Speaker 2>he's like a clear step below, like real Hall of

0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:31.360
<v Speaker 2>Fame caliber player. So the bial thing is almost a

0:10:31.440 --> 0:10:37.040
<v Speaker 2>different category. Dame is unique and interesting because Dame is

0:10:37.320 --> 0:10:40.319
<v Speaker 2>an all time player. Dame's a top seventy five all

0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:43.200
<v Speaker 2>time guy. He was one of the final cuts of

0:10:43.240 --> 0:10:46.440
<v Speaker 2>my list of the fifty gardest last fifty years. And

0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:49.520
<v Speaker 2>it's not only that he's never won a championship. He's

0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:54.200
<v Speaker 2>never played in a finals. And here is my concern

0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:57.800
<v Speaker 2>for Dame. So demons, do this with me. I'm going

0:10:57.840 --> 0:11:00.960
<v Speaker 2>to give you four names, and my guess is you

0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:03.840
<v Speaker 2>are familiar with In fact, I know you're familiar with

0:11:03.880 --> 0:11:06.600
<v Speaker 2>all four of them. But they are guys of this

0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:11.240
<v Speaker 2>most recent generation, the best players to never forget win

0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:14.280
<v Speaker 2>a championship, the best players to never play in a finals.

0:11:14.760 --> 0:11:22.000
<v Speaker 2>Steve Nash, Vince Carter, Tracy, McGrady, Carmelo, Anthony, you have

0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:26.240
<v Speaker 2>vivid memories and you can picture all of those guys

0:11:26.280 --> 0:11:30.920
<v Speaker 2>at the peak of their powers. Correct. Yeah, Okay, So

0:11:31.000 --> 0:11:34.080
<v Speaker 2>here's why I mentioned that. I think we feel like

0:11:34.880 --> 0:11:38.040
<v Speaker 2>and Vince I think will be iconic forever because he's

0:11:38.080 --> 0:11:40.720
<v Speaker 2>the greatest dunker ever and has so many great highlights.

0:11:41.200 --> 0:11:44.920
<v Speaker 2>But I think we think that those guys have more

0:11:45.000 --> 0:11:50.320
<v Speaker 2>staying power than they actually do despite never making a finals.

0:11:50.320 --> 0:11:52.160
<v Speaker 2>And here's the evidence of it. I'm gonna give you

0:11:52.200 --> 0:11:55.720
<v Speaker 2>four more names. They're the four best players to not

0:11:55.960 --> 0:11:59.680
<v Speaker 2>make a finals in the era prior to the most

0:11:59.679 --> 0:12:04.040
<v Speaker 2>recent one. Okay, and aside from hearing me mentioned them

0:12:04.040 --> 0:12:06.000
<v Speaker 2>on the top fifty list, the guys who made it.

0:12:06.400 --> 0:12:10.680
<v Speaker 2>Do you know anything about any of these people? Sidney Moncreef,

0:12:11.400 --> 0:12:17.600
<v Speaker 2>Bernard King, Alex English, George Gervin. Do those four names

0:12:17.640 --> 0:12:22.480
<v Speaker 2>mean anything to you?

0:12:22.520 --> 0:12:24.679
<v Speaker 3>No, Bernard King is probably the only.

0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:27.840
<v Speaker 2>One, and you don't even really know why it means something.

0:12:27.840 --> 0:12:31.040
<v Speaker 2>You've just heard it like that. You can't you can't picture,

0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:33.240
<v Speaker 2>you can't visualize any of it. By the way, this

0:12:33.320 --> 0:12:34.680
<v Speaker 2>isn't me roasting you for that.

0:12:35.160 --> 0:12:36.040
<v Speaker 3>No, here's it.

0:12:36.360 --> 0:12:39.960
<v Speaker 2>So here's my concern for Dame. I don't want Dame

0:12:40.040 --> 0:12:43.640
<v Speaker 2>to be forgotten the history. And while I'm familiar with

0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:46.200
<v Speaker 2>those four names I just mentioned, I think there's a

0:12:46.200 --> 0:12:49.959
<v Speaker 2>lot of contemporary NBA fans that don't know about any

0:12:50.040 --> 0:12:53.240
<v Speaker 2>of them, except for maybe George Gervin because he had

0:12:53.280 --> 0:12:56.760
<v Speaker 2>a sweet nickname, the Iceman, and he had this amazing move,

0:12:56.800 --> 0:12:59.960
<v Speaker 2>the finger roll. There is there is nothing to get

0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:03.840
<v Speaker 2>guarantee that Dame's name, you know, echoes throughout history. And

0:13:03.920 --> 0:13:08.040
<v Speaker 2>if he stays in Portland forever and they I don't

0:13:08.080 --> 0:13:12.000
<v Speaker 2>know that they'll make another conference finals, much less an

0:13:12.080 --> 0:13:14.760
<v Speaker 2>NBA finals. I think he's going to be in a

0:13:14.840 --> 0:13:18.560
<v Speaker 2>rough spot. Like I think Tracy McGrady. People don't think

0:13:18.600 --> 0:13:21.200
<v Speaker 2>of it now. I think Tracy McGrady will be forgotten

0:13:21.240 --> 0:13:26.560
<v Speaker 2>to history. I think Steve Nash has some historical relevance,

0:13:26.800 --> 0:13:30.040
<v Speaker 2>partially because he was a white superstar and a white

0:13:30.080 --> 0:13:33.560
<v Speaker 2>non European superstar, partially because they played such a different

0:13:33.559 --> 0:13:36.640
<v Speaker 2>brand of basketball, and then everybody else seven seconds or less.

0:13:37.040 --> 0:13:40.599
<v Speaker 2>Vince will echo forever because of the dunking in the

0:13:40.720 --> 0:13:44.000
<v Speaker 2>same even more so than Dominique did. Dominique's another guy,

0:13:44.120 --> 0:13:45.840
<v Speaker 2>by the way, I could have added to that list,

0:13:46.120 --> 0:13:48.280
<v Speaker 2>I guess of guys who never made a finals. But

0:13:48.360 --> 0:13:51.440
<v Speaker 2>he has the thing that Dominique has, which is the

0:13:51.880 --> 0:13:57.679
<v Speaker 2>amazing highlight reel. Carmelo might have some right, Carmelo might

0:13:57.760 --> 0:14:01.439
<v Speaker 2>have some historical relevance just because he was the Carmelo

0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:08.199
<v Speaker 2>Lebron Wade draft class. But Carmelo can be forgotten, not forgotten,

0:14:08.280 --> 0:14:11.720
<v Speaker 2>but set aside, similar to how Bernard King has been.

0:14:12.160 --> 0:14:14.920
<v Speaker 2>Nobody cares about Alex English. I'm the only I'm the

0:14:14.960 --> 0:14:18.000
<v Speaker 2>only person that cares about Sidney Moncree, and then there's

0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:21.720
<v Speaker 2>Gervin with the finger roll. So Dame is making a

0:14:21.840 --> 0:14:25.520
<v Speaker 2>choice here to stay loyal to Portland, and I'm not

0:14:25.600 --> 0:14:28.280
<v Speaker 2>going to judge him for it. But as a Damian

0:14:28.360 --> 0:14:33.920
<v Speaker 2>Lillard fan, do I kind of wish that we could

0:14:33.960 --> 0:14:37.120
<v Speaker 2>see him play in a conference finals with a real

0:14:37.200 --> 0:14:39.280
<v Speaker 2>chance to win it, as oppose the one conference finals

0:14:39.320 --> 0:14:41.760
<v Speaker 2>he made when they got swept by Golden State when

0:14:41.800 --> 0:14:44.440
<v Speaker 2>Durant didn't even play much less see him in an

0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:47.880
<v Speaker 2>NBA finals, I do. Unless he at some point demands

0:14:47.880 --> 0:14:50.040
<v Speaker 2>a trade in the future, I don't think we're gonna

0:14:50.160 --> 0:14:52.160
<v Speaker 2>see it. The flip side of that is, he did

0:14:52.280 --> 0:14:56.920
<v Speaker 2>just guarantee himself sixty three million dollars in his age

0:14:57.000 --> 0:14:59.800
<v Speaker 2>thirty six season. That one hundred and twenty two million

0:14:59.840 --> 0:15:02.920
<v Speaker 2>dollar extension is his age thirty five and thirty six season,

0:15:03.160 --> 0:15:05.640
<v Speaker 2>So financially speaking to hell of a deal. All right,

0:15:05.680 --> 0:15:06.320
<v Speaker 2>what's next?

0:15:06.600 --> 0:15:08.280
<v Speaker 3>So you agree with the fans basically?

0:15:09.120 --> 0:15:11.480
<v Speaker 2>No, I don't. I don't want to know. I don't

0:15:11.520 --> 0:15:14.680
<v Speaker 2>agree with anyone criticizing him or attacking him, because people

0:15:14.680 --> 0:15:16.680
<v Speaker 2>would have attacked him or criticize him no matter what.

0:15:17.080 --> 0:15:19.800
<v Speaker 2>But do I agree that this kind of cements that

0:15:19.880 --> 0:15:22.840
<v Speaker 2>he's not gonna win a championship? Yeah? Portland? I mean

0:15:23.000 --> 0:15:26.880
<v Speaker 2>Portland is more likely next year to miss the playoffs

0:15:27.200 --> 0:15:30.160
<v Speaker 2>than to make the conference finals. And Dame's not gonna

0:15:30.160 --> 0:15:32.720
<v Speaker 2>get better in the coming years. He's gonna try to

0:15:32.760 --> 0:15:35.440
<v Speaker 2>maintain and then probably drop off. All right, what's next?

0:15:36.200 --> 0:15:39.640
<v Speaker 3>Okay? Understood? Uh? Now the Baker has been moved. Jimmy

0:15:39.680 --> 0:15:43.080
<v Speaker 3>g is the only good quarterback available. Jimmy's agent says

0:15:43.120 --> 0:15:44.920
<v Speaker 3>that they want him to stay with the or the

0:15:44.920 --> 0:15:47.560
<v Speaker 3>Bucks want him to be the higher apparent to Tom Brady?

0:15:48.200 --> 0:15:51.280
<v Speaker 3>Uh is this even real? And does it? Do you

0:15:51.280 --> 0:15:54.240
<v Speaker 3>think the Bucks mismanaged the Jimmy g situation over the summer.

0:15:54.840 --> 0:15:58.440
<v Speaker 2>All right, uh, I really really.

0:15:58.160 --> 0:16:02.880
<v Speaker 4>Really to do this too, you, I really apparent here

0:16:04.120 --> 0:16:09.840
<v Speaker 4>air apparent, the air apparent, not higher apparent air apparent.

0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:13.080
<v Speaker 2>It's it's a one of those Yeah, listen, like you

0:16:13.200 --> 0:16:17.600
<v Speaker 2>are my heir, Like if I die, you get my stuff.

0:16:18.120 --> 0:16:19.880
<v Speaker 2>You know what I mean? You and your sisters are

0:16:19.920 --> 0:16:24.480
<v Speaker 2>my heirs. But it's the h is silent. Listen. I'm sorry,

0:16:24.600 --> 0:16:27.280
<v Speaker 2>but but I get it. You're like higher a parent.

0:16:27.360 --> 0:16:29.200
<v Speaker 2>Like they want to hire him. They apparently want to

0:16:29.240 --> 0:16:32.240
<v Speaker 2>hire him. I don't know, Listen, this is such a life.

0:16:32.440 --> 0:16:35.120
<v Speaker 2>It happens. I want to I don't know. I don't

0:16:35.160 --> 0:16:37.920
<v Speaker 2>know what you thought, but I mean, so this is

0:16:38.200 --> 0:16:41.160
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I am more interested in that. Hey, but

0:16:41.240 --> 0:16:44.320
<v Speaker 2>you know what, let me tell you something. Let mean

0:16:44.400 --> 0:16:46.720
<v Speaker 2>and there's a good piece of advice for everyone. My

0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:49.520
<v Speaker 2>friend Dragonfly Jones is the one that made me aware

0:16:49.520 --> 0:16:52.880
<v Speaker 2>of this, and he's right. You should not ever mock

0:16:53.000 --> 0:16:57.720
<v Speaker 2>someone for mispronouncing a word because it almost always means

0:16:58.200 --> 0:17:01.760
<v Speaker 2>they learned the word by reading it rather than by

0:17:01.840 --> 0:17:04.720
<v Speaker 2>hearing it. So like if somebody comes across the word

0:17:04.760 --> 0:17:06.679
<v Speaker 2>they're not familiar with when they're reading it, they have

0:17:06.720 --> 0:17:09.320
<v Speaker 2>to come up with their own pronunciation for it. So

0:17:09.359 --> 0:17:13.280
<v Speaker 2>it actually sometimes is a sign of a more learned individual.

0:17:13.760 --> 0:17:16.000
<v Speaker 2>In this case, I'm not going to say this was

0:17:16.040 --> 0:17:18.879
<v Speaker 2>a sign that you're a more learned individual, but you

0:17:19.040 --> 0:17:20.640
<v Speaker 2>just listen.

0:17:20.920 --> 0:17:22.720
<v Speaker 3>You know, I could have I could have just taken

0:17:22.720 --> 0:17:25.200
<v Speaker 3>the easy route and typed it into the pronunciation thing

0:17:25.240 --> 0:17:28.080
<v Speaker 3>into Google. But I just figured I had this word,

0:17:28.200 --> 0:17:31.080
<v Speaker 3>this four letter word figured out. It just looks like,

0:17:31.160 --> 0:17:34.960
<v Speaker 3>you know, it honestly makes sense with the situation. It

0:17:35.560 --> 0:17:37.239
<v Speaker 3>all right, Yeah, I got you.

0:17:37.320 --> 0:17:40.359
<v Speaker 2>It looks like the word higher. Just maybe Matt miss

0:17:40.359 --> 0:17:42.920
<v Speaker 2>typed it in the rundown. I get it, buddy. I'm

0:17:42.960 --> 0:17:45.800
<v Speaker 2>not against you. I'm just telling you what happened here. Okay.

0:17:45.800 --> 0:17:49.399
<v Speaker 2>So here's the deal. Nobody wants Jimmy Garoppol, Not at

0:17:49.440 --> 0:17:53.600
<v Speaker 2>twenty five million bucks, not a with his injury history,

0:17:54.080 --> 0:17:57.919
<v Speaker 2>not without the Shanahan offensive infrastructure with him. You know

0:17:58.000 --> 0:18:01.840
<v Speaker 2>how we know nobody wants Jimmy Garoppol. Mike McDaniels was

0:18:01.880 --> 0:18:06.879
<v Speaker 2>his offensive coordinator in San Francisco. Mike McDaniels goes to Miami.

0:18:07.160 --> 0:18:10.520
<v Speaker 2>Miami wanted to Sean Watson. Miami then tried to sell

0:18:10.560 --> 0:18:13.200
<v Speaker 2>a piece of the team to get Tom Brady. They're

0:18:13.320 --> 0:18:15.920
<v Speaker 2>so out on Toua. No matter what Tyreek Hill says

0:18:15.920 --> 0:18:18.720
<v Speaker 2>about him and haves Miami tried to go get Jimmy

0:18:18.760 --> 0:18:22.480
<v Speaker 2>g No, of course not so the I don't buy

0:18:23.200 --> 0:18:25.960
<v Speaker 2>that he's I think what's gonna happen with Jimmy Garoppolo

0:18:26.080 --> 0:18:28.720
<v Speaker 2>is this, The Niners are not gonna be able to

0:18:28.720 --> 0:18:30.959
<v Speaker 2>find a trade. They're gonna have to decide if they

0:18:30.960 --> 0:18:33.920
<v Speaker 2>want to outright release him, and if they don't, they're

0:18:33.960 --> 0:18:36.920
<v Speaker 2>gonna just wait on a team to suffer a quarterback

0:18:36.960 --> 0:18:39.520
<v Speaker 2>injury and then hope that team is super desperate. But

0:18:39.600 --> 0:18:44.520
<v Speaker 2>Jimmy Garoppolo is a below average quarterback in this league

0:18:45.040 --> 0:18:50.000
<v Speaker 2>that because he has been in amazing situations is and

0:18:50.080 --> 0:18:52.639
<v Speaker 2>the people that pray at the altar of quarterback wins

0:18:53.000 --> 0:18:55.600
<v Speaker 2>act like he is a huge part of the reason

0:18:55.680 --> 0:18:57.800
<v Speaker 2>that team went to a super Bowl and went to

0:18:57.840 --> 0:19:00.679
<v Speaker 2>a conference championship game as oppos to the fact that

0:19:00.720 --> 0:19:03.320
<v Speaker 2>he was just along for the ride. Jimmy Garoppolo has

0:19:03.520 --> 0:19:05.600
<v Speaker 2>is four and two in the playoffs in his career.

0:19:06.160 --> 0:19:10.200
<v Speaker 2>Those in those six games, he has four touchdown passes,

0:19:10.600 --> 0:19:14.560
<v Speaker 2>six interceptions, a seventy five passer rating and averages one

0:19:14.640 --> 0:19:17.720
<v Speaker 2>hundred and sixty yards passing per game. And he just

0:19:17.840 --> 0:19:20.960
<v Speaker 2>makes inexplicable decisions. And oh yeah, by the way, he's

0:19:21.000 --> 0:19:24.280
<v Speaker 2>injured all the time. So no, I don't believe Tampa

0:19:24.680 --> 0:19:27.040
<v Speaker 2>is chomping at the champing at the bit? Pardon me?

0:19:27.280 --> 0:19:29.320
<v Speaker 2>There's another one? How about that? This is when a

0:19:29.359 --> 0:19:31.040
<v Speaker 2>lot of people will get wrong. Demon say, did you

0:19:31.160 --> 0:19:36.400
<v Speaker 2>know the phrase is champing at the bit? But everyone

0:19:36.480 --> 0:19:39.159
<v Speaker 2>says chomping at the bit because they it's like biting.

0:19:39.240 --> 0:19:41.879
<v Speaker 2>It's like what a horse does. Yeah, it's like But

0:19:42.359 --> 0:19:45.840
<v Speaker 2>so if you say champing, people think you got it wrong,

0:19:46.160 --> 0:19:49.439
<v Speaker 2>but it's actually correct. But if you say chomping, no

0:19:49.480 --> 0:19:51.560
<v Speaker 2>one bets an eye, but it's actually wrong. But the

0:19:51.600 --> 0:19:55.240
<v Speaker 2>point is, I don't think anybody is, you know, thirsty

0:19:55.359 --> 0:19:57.840
<v Speaker 2>for Jimmy Garoppolo at twenty five million bucks? What's up, pal?

0:19:57.920 --> 0:20:00.200
<v Speaker 2>Looks how you have something on your mind? No?

0:20:00.280 --> 0:20:04.320
<v Speaker 3>I mean, whoever created the English language was just an okay,

0:20:04.359 --> 0:20:08.239
<v Speaker 3>well yeah, listen, don't wait, because that was probably a

0:20:08.240 --> 0:20:11.159
<v Speaker 3>phrase that came like way later after the English language

0:20:11.200 --> 0:20:14.840
<v Speaker 3>was created. But like that, you know what, which is

0:20:14.880 --> 0:20:23.360
<v Speaker 3>real quicklogy etymology of champing at the bit, let's find out.

0:20:25.280 --> 0:20:28.040
<v Speaker 2>I know what it means, but the why is it

0:20:28.160 --> 0:20:30.960
<v Speaker 2>champing and not chomping? Grammar is tells us.

0:20:31.680 --> 0:20:32.080
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

0:20:33.119 --> 0:20:35.760
<v Speaker 2>The quick answer to whether champer chomp is correct is

0:20:35.840 --> 0:20:39.400
<v Speaker 2>both are acceptable. That's a cop album. You know what

0:20:39.600 --> 0:20:43.680
<v Speaker 2>grammar is. That's bullshit. That is the same way that

0:20:43.760 --> 0:20:47.760
<v Speaker 2>they all of a sudden added What is the thing

0:20:47.840 --> 0:20:51.520
<v Speaker 2>they just added to the dictionary that is obviously wrong,

0:20:52.200 --> 0:20:55.040
<v Speaker 2>but everyone uses it so much they just gave up

0:20:55.400 --> 0:20:58.359
<v Speaker 2>all think of it in a moment. It used to

0:20:58.560 --> 0:21:01.200
<v Speaker 2>irritate the hell out of me. It's won something so

0:21:01.240 --> 0:21:03.520
<v Speaker 2>many people got wrong. The dictionary just gave up there, like,

0:21:03.520 --> 0:21:06.280
<v Speaker 2>it's fine, we'll call it the way correct is champing

0:21:06.680 --> 0:21:10.560
<v Speaker 2>they just started. Champing stems from an old Middle English word.

0:21:10.760 --> 0:21:12.760
<v Speaker 2>It's been around for six hundred years. Relates to the

0:21:12.800 --> 0:21:16.359
<v Speaker 2>grinding of a horse's teeth, most likely imitative in nature.

0:21:16.560 --> 0:21:19.400
<v Speaker 2>The word's been more modernly used to express biting down

0:21:19.440 --> 0:21:22.199
<v Speaker 2>on a bridle. Yeah, okay, that makes sense? All right?

0:21:22.240 --> 0:21:22.760
<v Speaker 2>What's next?

0:21:22.800 --> 0:21:26.359
<v Speaker 3>Man? All right? Words, So let's talk some rancor. You

0:21:26.480 --> 0:21:30.400
<v Speaker 3>revealed Tim Duncan at number five and magic irregardless.

0:21:29.640 --> 0:21:33.119
<v Speaker 2>That's the word sorry, irregardless of the word is not

0:21:33.200 --> 0:21:37.520
<v Speaker 2>a word. The word is regardless. Irregardless is not a word,

0:21:37.720 --> 0:21:40.800
<v Speaker 2>but so many people used it. Merrion Webster was just like,

0:21:40.920 --> 0:21:43.800
<v Speaker 2>screw it, We'll put it in there, but irregardless is

0:21:43.840 --> 0:21:45.960
<v Speaker 2>not a word, even though now it is technically a word.

0:21:45.960 --> 0:21:50.080
<v Speaker 3>All right, go ahead, okay, irregardless. We talked out Duncan.

0:21:50.400 --> 0:21:52.760
<v Speaker 3>We talked out Duncan over Kobe last week, but per usual,

0:21:52.800 --> 0:21:55.959
<v Speaker 3>people are still mad. Yeah, Kobe fans want their guy

0:21:56.040 --> 0:21:58.920
<v Speaker 3>higher than Magic. All Magic fans would say that he should.

0:21:59.040 --> 0:22:01.639
<v Speaker 3>Kareem shouldn't be high than him. Why is number four

0:22:01.720 --> 0:22:03.119
<v Speaker 3>the right spot for Magic Johnson?

0:22:04.080 --> 0:22:07.960
<v Speaker 2>It's the It's to me, there are few There are

0:22:08.000 --> 0:22:13.280
<v Speaker 2>a few spots on this list that are inarguable, and

0:22:13.320 --> 0:22:16.159
<v Speaker 2>one is Magic Johnson at number four. And by that

0:22:16.320 --> 0:22:21.359
<v Speaker 2>I mean there is no legitimate argument that Magic is

0:22:21.520 --> 0:22:26.160
<v Speaker 2>better than Kareem, Lebron or Michael, the three guys ahead

0:22:26.160 --> 0:22:32.280
<v Speaker 2>of him. And there is no legitimate argument that Duncan, Kobe, Bird,

0:22:33.040 --> 0:22:36.880
<v Speaker 2>shaq A, Keem, any of the people but Steph any

0:22:36.960 --> 0:22:41.199
<v Speaker 2>of the people behind him are ahead of it. Magic

0:22:41.240 --> 0:22:44.840
<v Speaker 2>at four is like to me written in stone when

0:22:44.840 --> 0:22:46.960
<v Speaker 2>we're doing of the last fifty years. If you add

0:22:46.960 --> 0:22:49.879
<v Speaker 2>Wilton Russell, it complicates in the last fifty years. That

0:22:50.040 --> 0:22:53.719
<v Speaker 2>is one of the like Duncan versus Kobe versus Bird

0:22:53.920 --> 0:22:57.919
<v Speaker 2>is a real argument, Steph versus Kadi versus Shaq and Achem,

0:22:58.320 --> 0:23:01.440
<v Speaker 2>those are real arguments. Where doctor Jy fit into it?

0:23:01.480 --> 0:23:04.640
<v Speaker 2>Where does Moses fit into it? And obviously the top

0:23:04.720 --> 0:23:08.800
<v Speaker 2>three there is an argument for Kareem, Lebron and Michael

0:23:09.000 --> 0:23:13.159
<v Speaker 2>all three of them at one, two or three. Magic

0:23:13.240 --> 0:23:16.800
<v Speaker 2>at four. It's If people want to know my full

0:23:16.880 --> 0:23:18.960
<v Speaker 2>reasoning for it, they can watch the video of it.

0:23:19.119 --> 0:23:21.720
<v Speaker 2>But the short version is the guy played twelve seasons

0:23:21.760 --> 0:23:25.320
<v Speaker 2>pre HIV. Nine of them he either won the MVP,

0:23:25.520 --> 0:23:28.400
<v Speaker 2>finished second, or finish third. Nine of them he went

0:23:28.440 --> 0:23:31.520
<v Speaker 2>to the NBA finals. Five of them he won uh

0:23:32.280 --> 0:23:35.880
<v Speaker 2>NBA Championship. Guy won Finals MVP as our twenty year

0:23:35.880 --> 0:23:40.440
<v Speaker 2>old rookie jumping center in game six with forty two,

0:23:40.480 --> 0:23:42.920
<v Speaker 2>fifteen and seven something absurd I don't have in front

0:23:42.920 --> 0:23:45.919
<v Speaker 2>of me. The Magic at four is exactly where he

0:23:46.000 --> 0:23:48.360
<v Speaker 2>needs to be. I'm chomping at the bit to talk

0:23:48.359 --> 0:23:56.040
<v Speaker 2>about this more. We'll be right back. Welcome back in

0:23:56.160 --> 0:23:59.640
<v Speaker 2>What's right with Nick Wright? Segment number two, We play

0:23:59.720 --> 0:24:02.680
<v Speaker 2>some We have some fun. If you were just listening before,

0:24:02.760 --> 0:24:04.560
<v Speaker 2>if it made the podcast, we talked a little bit

0:24:04.560 --> 0:24:07.960
<v Speaker 2>about bird scooters, demons. What are we starting with today?

0:24:08.720 --> 0:24:10.840
<v Speaker 3>We're starting with a little bit of tennis. Get to

0:24:11.160 --> 0:24:17.399
<v Speaker 3>Oh yes, sir, so Djokovic beat Kurios in the Wimbledon final.

0:24:17.920 --> 0:24:19.840
<v Speaker 3>The doll had to drop out due to an injury,

0:24:19.920 --> 0:24:22.600
<v Speaker 3>So sadly we missed the match of a lifetime. Yeah,

0:24:22.680 --> 0:24:25.320
<v Speaker 3>but uh, who was ahead of the goat discussion?

0:24:25.320 --> 0:24:25.480
<v Speaker 2>Now?

0:24:25.640 --> 0:24:28.280
<v Speaker 3>And what happens if Novak has to skip the US

0:24:28.320 --> 0:24:31.040
<v Speaker 3>Open and the Australian Open due to his vaccine status.

0:24:31.280 --> 0:24:35.399
<v Speaker 2>Okay, first of all, I now understand why you didn't

0:24:35.600 --> 0:24:40.080
<v Speaker 2>pronounce air correctly, because you spent all your pronunciation time

0:24:40.119 --> 0:24:44.960
<v Speaker 2>and energy on Nadal and Djokovic and Wimbledon and all

0:24:45.000 --> 0:24:48.359
<v Speaker 2>of it, and you and Kirios and you nailed it.

0:24:48.840 --> 0:24:51.440
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you didn't call him cry g os. You

0:24:51.560 --> 0:24:54.879
<v Speaker 2>nailed it. You got Djokovic exactly right. I am proud

0:24:54.920 --> 0:24:58.359
<v Speaker 2>of you in that regard. Okay, I still think Rafa

0:24:58.440 --> 0:25:02.719
<v Speaker 2>Nadal is the greatest tennis player. Djokovic, though continues to

0:25:02.720 --> 0:25:04.600
<v Speaker 2>make a strong case. Now. It was a shame that

0:25:04.640 --> 0:25:07.760
<v Speaker 2>we didn't get to see Djokovic and Nadal in the final.

0:25:08.040 --> 0:25:10.639
<v Speaker 2>Anyone that knows anything about tennis, even if you're rooting

0:25:10.640 --> 0:25:13.919
<v Speaker 2>for Curios, you knew mentally he wasn't gonna be able

0:25:13.960 --> 0:25:17.560
<v Speaker 2>to sustain in the final, and he wasn't demanse in

0:25:17.640 --> 0:25:25.679
<v Speaker 2>the final. He started screaming at his own coaches for

0:25:25.880 --> 0:25:29.239
<v Speaker 2>not cheering hard enough for him. He was like, I'm

0:25:29.320 --> 0:25:32.320
<v Speaker 2>up forty love and you you sit down. You gotta

0:25:32.400 --> 0:25:35.400
<v Speaker 2>keep yelling throughout the point. You gotta stand. He's on

0:25:35.440 --> 0:25:37.760
<v Speaker 2>the court yelling at him while he's melting down. He

0:25:37.840 --> 0:25:40.040
<v Speaker 2>tried to get a lady ejected because he said she

0:25:40.119 --> 0:25:42.960
<v Speaker 2>was heckling him. He was yelling at them. Curios is

0:25:43.080 --> 0:25:45.160
<v Speaker 2>just out of his mind. I like him a lot,

0:25:45.200 --> 0:25:47.359
<v Speaker 2>but he's just out of his mind.

0:25:48.000 --> 0:25:50.680
<v Speaker 3>I feel like some tennis players have like the potential

0:25:50.680 --> 0:25:52.600
<v Speaker 3>to be some of the most snobby people ever.

0:25:53.119 --> 0:25:56.640
<v Speaker 2>So he's not that though. So he's not You're right

0:25:56.680 --> 0:26:01.000
<v Speaker 2>about that, but that's not him. He's just doesn't have

0:26:01.080 --> 0:26:04.800
<v Speaker 2>a full good control of his emotions. But so Djokovic.

0:26:05.280 --> 0:26:07.680
<v Speaker 2>Once Nadal was out with the injury, we did miss

0:26:07.680 --> 0:26:10.560
<v Speaker 2>it because poor Nadal is going for the first single

0:26:10.600 --> 0:26:14.080
<v Speaker 2>season Grand Slam in fifty three years. I think since

0:26:14.119 --> 0:26:16.480
<v Speaker 2>sixty nine. I think it was Labor. I keep saying

0:26:16.520 --> 0:26:18.520
<v Speaker 2>I think it was Labor, and I never look it

0:26:18.600 --> 0:26:19.880
<v Speaker 2>up Rod Labor.

0:26:20.240 --> 0:26:22.760
<v Speaker 3>See Fritz Fiel right now?

0:26:23.880 --> 0:26:24.320
<v Speaker 2>Fritz?

0:26:24.920 --> 0:26:27.679
<v Speaker 3>Who's Fritz the guy that the doll faced before he

0:26:27.760 --> 0:26:29.040
<v Speaker 3>dropped out because of his injury.

0:26:29.400 --> 0:26:33.199
<v Speaker 2>Oh oh the match we watched. Yeah, so that's what

0:26:33.480 --> 0:26:35.479
<v Speaker 2>that's what I want. Yeah, that he couldn't beat him

0:26:35.480 --> 0:26:37.399
<v Speaker 2>even when he was hurt. So that's what I wanted

0:26:37.400 --> 0:26:41.040
<v Speaker 2>to ask you about. So I made you and your

0:26:41.080 --> 0:26:46.480
<v Speaker 2>wonderful girlfriend come upstairs to watch the fifth set of

0:26:46.640 --> 0:26:51.959
<v Speaker 2>Nadal in the quarterfinals. Be honest, you're not gonna hurt

0:26:52.000 --> 0:26:56.000
<v Speaker 2>my feelings. And at one point you did fall asleep,

0:26:56.080 --> 0:26:57.960
<v Speaker 2>but you have a bit of narcolepsy where you can

0:26:58.000 --> 0:27:00.320
<v Speaker 2>just like fall asleep like that and then be right

0:27:00.320 --> 0:27:05.119
<v Speaker 2>back up. What you watched? Was it or was it

0:27:05.200 --> 0:27:08.320
<v Speaker 2>not compelling? It?

0:27:08.600 --> 0:27:12.960
<v Speaker 3>Definitely? Yes, it was much more interesting than I anticipated.

0:27:14.880 --> 0:27:17.440
<v Speaker 3>And like I, like I told my cousin fall May,

0:27:18.119 --> 0:27:23.040
<v Speaker 3>it did up my tennis interest about fifteen. It does like.

0:27:24.359 --> 0:27:26.919
<v Speaker 2>When you see like this strategy you have to do

0:27:27.440 --> 0:27:29.760
<v Speaker 2>the different things you have to do and trying to

0:27:29.880 --> 0:27:32.520
<v Speaker 2>like the different shots. Because I saw you at one

0:27:32.560 --> 0:27:34.840
<v Speaker 2>point you went ooh, he like you.

0:27:34.840 --> 0:27:38.320
<v Speaker 3>You noticed it. I knew he got him. He got him.

0:27:38.560 --> 0:27:41.680
<v Speaker 2>It's good man. Oh yeah, US Open, here we come.

0:27:42.040 --> 0:27:44.600
<v Speaker 2>But if here's the thing about the US Open that's interesting.

0:27:45.320 --> 0:27:48.399
<v Speaker 2>So Federer obviously isn't going to be playing. Federer's done. Essentially,

0:27:48.440 --> 0:27:50.480
<v Speaker 2>he says he's going to play one more Wimbledon. We'll see.

0:27:51.080 --> 0:27:55.320
<v Speaker 2>Djokovic won't get vaccinated, and theoretically that means he can't

0:27:55.320 --> 0:27:56.639
<v Speaker 2>play in the US Open. I don't even know if

0:27:56.640 --> 0:28:00.320
<v Speaker 2>he can come into the country. If Nadal's injury is

0:28:00.359 --> 0:28:03.200
<v Speaker 2>really is, you know, so bad, the US opens around

0:28:03.240 --> 0:28:07.280
<v Speaker 2>the corner. It starts in what six weeks less than that,

0:28:07.760 --> 0:28:10.960
<v Speaker 2>just about six weeks. I would imagine the Doll's gonna

0:28:10.960 --> 0:28:14.280
<v Speaker 2>be able to play. But if he's two injured to play,

0:28:14.640 --> 0:28:17.840
<v Speaker 2>then all of a sudden it is wide open. And

0:28:17.920 --> 0:28:21.439
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what Medvedev's the rule of Medvedev is,

0:28:21.440 --> 0:28:24.440
<v Speaker 2>because are the Russians allowed to play in the US Open.

0:28:24.440 --> 0:28:26.600
<v Speaker 2>They weren't allowed to play in Wimbledon. I'm not certain

0:28:26.840 --> 0:28:29.159
<v Speaker 2>what the US opens rule is. Gonna be, but I

0:28:29.200 --> 0:28:31.080
<v Speaker 2>hope the doll gets to play. I wish we would

0:28:31.080 --> 0:28:33.399
<v Speaker 2>have gotten to see Nadal Djokovic. We didn't credit to

0:28:33.480 --> 0:28:37.080
<v Speaker 2>Djokovic for keeping his cool. Djokovic, who dropped the first

0:28:37.119 --> 0:28:40.680
<v Speaker 2>set and then came storming back, handled it all well,

0:28:41.400 --> 0:28:44.880
<v Speaker 2>and he he handled all gracefully. He's not my favorite,

0:28:45.160 --> 0:28:47.280
<v Speaker 2>but I give him credit. He's a great champion, twenty

0:28:47.280 --> 0:28:51.000
<v Speaker 2>one majors now and the most I think now he

0:28:51.040 --> 0:28:54.400
<v Speaker 2>does have the most major finals of anyone ever with

0:28:55.080 --> 0:28:57.960
<v Speaker 2>thirty two major finals twenty one and eleven. And all right,

0:28:58.000 --> 0:29:00.360
<v Speaker 2>that's enough for Nick's tennis corner until the US Open.

0:29:00.640 --> 0:29:03.280
<v Speaker 2>Maybe we can do this podcast live from Ash.

0:29:03.480 --> 0:29:06.680
<v Speaker 3>That second last longer than the is normal hoop match

0:29:06.680 --> 0:29:07.600
<v Speaker 3>in twenty ten.

0:29:08.680 --> 0:29:11.320
<v Speaker 2>Oh, that's the match I told you about. Do you

0:29:11.360 --> 0:29:13.080
<v Speaker 2>know that's the one I told you about that went

0:29:13.280 --> 0:29:14.640
<v Speaker 2>like nine hours.

0:29:14.240 --> 0:29:18.600
<v Speaker 3>Six six nine hours? Whoa were they? Were they in

0:29:18.680 --> 0:29:21.800
<v Speaker 3>the different days or was it nine consecutive hours? Because

0:29:21.880 --> 0:29:23.920
<v Speaker 3>from my knowledge and when I looked up, it said

0:29:23.960 --> 0:29:28.360
<v Speaker 3>that hit dispatch lasted three to six days, six days.

0:29:28.480 --> 0:29:30.560
<v Speaker 3>I can't. I don't really put my put my finger

0:29:30.600 --> 0:29:31.160
<v Speaker 3>on it right.

0:29:31.000 --> 0:29:34.520
<v Speaker 2>Now, Okay, I don't know that it lasted three to

0:29:34.640 --> 0:29:35.600
<v Speaker 2>six days.

0:29:36.000 --> 0:29:39.600
<v Speaker 3>Holy crap, what we go ahead?

0:29:40.480 --> 0:29:44.040
<v Speaker 2>It lasted eleven hours. The match took eleven hours and

0:29:44.160 --> 0:29:46.960
<v Speaker 2>five minutes. Oh, but they did split it up over

0:29:47.080 --> 0:29:48.960
<v Speaker 2>multiple days. That part true.

0:29:49.080 --> 0:29:50.800
<v Speaker 3>It was over three days.

0:29:50.920 --> 0:29:51.240
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

0:29:51.280 --> 0:29:54.120
<v Speaker 3>I thought you managed to speaking of my research was no, no, no.

0:29:54.200 --> 0:29:56.160
<v Speaker 2>I thought you were saying, okay, good job on the

0:29:56.240 --> 0:29:58.600
<v Speaker 2>is normal hoop point. I'm very proud of you for

0:29:59.000 --> 0:30:00.720
<v Speaker 2>that is correct. That's the But that's the match I

0:30:00.800 --> 0:30:03.480
<v Speaker 2>told you about which made him change the Wimbledon tiebreaker

0:30:03.800 --> 0:30:05.800
<v Speaker 2>because when we were watching it and I told you,

0:30:05.840 --> 0:30:08.360
<v Speaker 2>they Jane Teiberger. Okay, that's enough tennis, All right, go ahead,

0:30:08.400 --> 0:30:08.920
<v Speaker 2>what's next?

0:30:09.720 --> 0:30:10.920
<v Speaker 3>It's time for right or wrong?

0:30:11.680 --> 0:30:11.880
<v Speaker 4>Uh?

0:30:12.000 --> 0:30:15.480
<v Speaker 3>Tyreek Hill claimed that the Dolphins post that posted the

0:30:15.600 --> 0:30:19.240
<v Speaker 3>video of Tua underthrowing him intentionally said that they wanted

0:30:19.280 --> 0:30:20.920
<v Speaker 3>to shock the league make him seem like he was

0:30:20.920 --> 0:30:24.240
<v Speaker 3>worse than he actually was. Right or wrong, Tyreek Hill

0:30:24.360 --> 0:30:25.320
<v Speaker 3>is the teammate of the year.

0:30:26.880 --> 0:30:29.440
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I think wrong, because the other thing Tyreek said

0:30:29.440 --> 0:30:32.720
<v Speaker 2>about Tua was that this is, you know, a make

0:30:32.800 --> 0:30:35.280
<v Speaker 2>or break year for his career. But I'm gonna throw

0:30:35.320 --> 0:30:39.680
<v Speaker 2>something else at you here. So Antonio Brown plays for

0:30:39.760 --> 0:30:44.680
<v Speaker 2>the Steelers and is considered a little eccentric but just

0:30:44.760 --> 0:30:47.120
<v Speaker 2>a great player. You know, did the one live stream

0:30:47.120 --> 0:30:49.440
<v Speaker 2>from the locker room, that's it. He then leaves the

0:30:49.480 --> 0:30:54.680
<v Speaker 2>Steelers and in no particular order, like freezes his feet

0:30:54.720 --> 0:30:57.040
<v Speaker 2>in the cryogenic chamber. He doesn't wear the right shoes

0:30:57.080 --> 0:31:01.440
<v Speaker 2>and has the mistraining camp, then tries to smug illegal

0:31:01.520 --> 0:31:04.320
<v Speaker 2>helmet onto the field that he had hand painted himself,

0:31:04.720 --> 0:31:09.800
<v Speaker 2>then forces his way out of the Raiders forces essentially

0:31:09.880 --> 0:31:12.800
<v Speaker 2>cost himself a chance with the Patriots. Has all this

0:31:12.960 --> 0:31:15.720
<v Speaker 2>mayhem with the bucks, you know, strips on the field,

0:31:15.800 --> 0:31:19.120
<v Speaker 2>all of this stuff. Right, So with the Antonio Brown.

0:31:20.160 --> 0:31:23.239
<v Speaker 2>You know who ended up looking the best after we

0:31:23.280 --> 0:31:28.280
<v Speaker 2>saw Antonio Brown the last four years. The answer to that, Nope,

0:31:28.960 --> 0:31:32.600
<v Speaker 2>that's a good guess. But no Mike Tomlin, who was

0:31:32.680 --> 0:31:36.280
<v Speaker 2>his coach in Pittsburgh. And it's like, my god, you

0:31:36.320 --> 0:31:39.560
<v Speaker 2>had this guy for six years and nobody knew he

0:31:39.680 --> 0:31:42.920
<v Speaker 2>was a maniac because you had him totally under wraps.

0:31:43.520 --> 0:31:46.760
<v Speaker 2>So here's my Tyreek kill point. Tyreek Hill evidently has

0:31:46.800 --> 0:31:51.960
<v Speaker 2>had these hot, spicy takes for years. But when he

0:31:52.080 --> 0:31:55.040
<v Speaker 2>was with all Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes. We didn't

0:31:55.040 --> 0:31:58.320
<v Speaker 2>hear Naria peep. Tyreek Hill was quite as a little

0:31:58.440 --> 0:32:02.680
<v Speaker 2>church mouse when it came Tony any media commentary. Now

0:32:02.680 --> 0:32:05.479
<v Speaker 2>he gets down to Miami and he can't stop talking.

0:32:06.080 --> 0:32:09.840
<v Speaker 2>So listen, and Tyreek is coming to grips with the

0:32:09.840 --> 0:32:12.880
<v Speaker 2>fact that again and more power to him, he took

0:32:12.920 --> 0:32:15.760
<v Speaker 2>the money and the city and you know all of that.

0:32:16.520 --> 0:32:19.640
<v Speaker 2>And the tradeoff is you go from the best quarterback

0:32:19.680 --> 0:32:21.280
<v Speaker 2>in football to a guy who's not gonna be a

0:32:21.320 --> 0:32:23.720
<v Speaker 2>starting quarterback a year from now. And he's trying to

0:32:23.720 --> 0:32:26.360
<v Speaker 2>talk his way through it. Two is not good, man,

0:32:26.800 --> 0:32:29.360
<v Speaker 2>Two is not good. Tyreek knows two is not good.

0:32:29.600 --> 0:32:31.640
<v Speaker 2>The world knows two is not good. I like Toua.

0:32:31.920 --> 0:32:33.800
<v Speaker 2>I sat and talked it to it the Super Bowl.

0:32:34.040 --> 0:32:38.040
<v Speaker 2>I root for Tua, but he's not an NFL starting quarterback.

0:32:38.200 --> 0:32:40.080
<v Speaker 2>Tyreek knows it too, and he's dealing with it, all right,

0:32:40.120 --> 0:32:40.640
<v Speaker 2>what's next?

0:32:41.040 --> 0:32:44.160
<v Speaker 3>He's dealing with it. I love it. Uh. Summer League

0:32:44.200 --> 0:32:47.560
<v Speaker 3>champs now get rings. That's great news for Kings and

0:32:47.640 --> 0:32:51.240
<v Speaker 3>Magic fans. Pretty wild that they're giving out rings before

0:32:51.280 --> 0:32:55.120
<v Speaker 3>the preseason. Uh huh, right or wrong. Participation in trophy

0:32:55.160 --> 0:32:56.520
<v Speaker 3>culture has gone too far.

0:32:57.080 --> 0:33:03.360
<v Speaker 2>Right, I I like it. Oh, I don't mind. No,

0:33:04.200 --> 0:33:08.360
<v Speaker 2>I don't mind this at all. I hate the folks

0:33:08.920 --> 0:33:13.120
<v Speaker 2>who are like, who are all anti participation trophies? I

0:33:13.200 --> 0:33:19.920
<v Speaker 2>hate them? So listen. I played little peewee soccer and baseball,

0:33:20.320 --> 0:33:23.440
<v Speaker 2>and at the end of the year, Yeah, they gave everybody,

0:33:23.520 --> 0:33:25.920
<v Speaker 2>or they gave a lot of people little trophies, but

0:33:25.960 --> 0:33:28.880
<v Speaker 2>they weren't the same size trophy the champions got. And

0:33:28.960 --> 0:33:31.040
<v Speaker 2>we all kept scored, and we knew who the good

0:33:31.040 --> 0:33:33.560
<v Speaker 2>teams and the bad teams were. And as my buddy

0:33:33.640 --> 0:33:36.720
<v Speaker 2>Laslow would say all the time, people that are like, oh,

0:33:36.760 --> 0:33:40.720
<v Speaker 2>there are no participation trophies in the real world, they're not.

0:33:41.360 --> 0:33:45.160
<v Speaker 2>You know what, They're called paychecks. You show up, do

0:33:45.280 --> 0:33:48.600
<v Speaker 2>your best, you get a weekly participation trophy. It's called

0:33:48.640 --> 0:33:53.000
<v Speaker 2>a paycheck. Now you want the big trophy, the championship trophy.

0:33:53.200 --> 0:33:56.760
<v Speaker 2>That's the promotion, that's the bonus. This idea, oh, it's

0:33:56.800 --> 0:34:00.800
<v Speaker 2>a it's a we're raising up generation of soft kids.

0:34:00.920 --> 0:34:04.960
<v Speaker 2>Why by trying to teach young people that hey, commit

0:34:05.040 --> 0:34:07.640
<v Speaker 2>to a team, show off, to practice, fight through the

0:34:07.680 --> 0:34:10.319
<v Speaker 2>hard times, and even if you're not the best out there,

0:34:10.480 --> 0:34:13.799
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna give you a token of your accomplishment, Like,

0:34:13.920 --> 0:34:18.000
<v Speaker 2>go to hell with everybody attacking kids and saying, oh, like, oh,

0:34:18.040 --> 0:34:20.000
<v Speaker 2>it's a new thing. Really, it's a new thing. I

0:34:20.040 --> 0:34:22.880
<v Speaker 2>was born in nineteen eighty four, and I we got

0:34:23.000 --> 0:34:28.280
<v Speaker 2>participation trophies. They're like, oh, this didn't exist in the sixties. Okay, yeah,

0:34:28.360 --> 0:34:30.880
<v Speaker 2>but a lot of things didn't exist in the sixties,

0:34:31.080 --> 0:34:33.520
<v Speaker 2>like letting the black kids play on the same team.

0:34:33.560 --> 0:34:37.920
<v Speaker 2>As you complain about participation trophies, so pipe down with

0:34:38.040 --> 0:34:40.560
<v Speaker 2>how much you better it used to be with the

0:34:40.960 --> 0:34:43.560
<v Speaker 2>we didn't have participation trophies. So that brings me the

0:34:43.560 --> 0:34:47.880
<v Speaker 2>Summer League. I'm good with it. Seventy five percent of

0:34:47.880 --> 0:34:50.879
<v Speaker 2>the guys in Summer League will never play in an

0:34:51.000 --> 0:34:54.640
<v Speaker 2>NBA minute. They want to Cinema christ Kid.

0:34:55.280 --> 0:34:57.719
<v Speaker 3>God, Chris Paul, go back and play in the UH

0:34:58.280 --> 0:34:59.160
<v Speaker 3>in the summer League.

0:34:59.320 --> 0:35:00.200
<v Speaker 2>No you can't.

0:35:00.680 --> 0:35:04.160
<v Speaker 3>He's not somebody I didn't know if Okay, I didn't

0:35:04.160 --> 0:35:05.839
<v Speaker 3>know if that was I really didn't. That was an

0:35:05.880 --> 0:35:08.879
<v Speaker 3>honest question. I guess it was a shot at Chris Paul,

0:35:08.920 --> 0:35:11.360
<v Speaker 3>but I didn't. I thought that Summer League was like

0:35:11.360 --> 0:35:13.279
<v Speaker 3>a thing that you chose to participate in if you

0:35:13.320 --> 0:35:15.160
<v Speaker 3>wanted to but oh no, no, no.

0:35:15.040 --> 0:35:17.200
<v Speaker 2>It's for young guys. All I guess, mate, and listen,

0:35:17.280 --> 0:35:20.439
<v Speaker 2>maybe older veterans were coming off an injury could play.

0:35:20.440 --> 0:35:22.520
<v Speaker 2>But it's for young guys. But seventy five percent of

0:35:22.520 --> 0:35:24.839
<v Speaker 2>these guys whenever play in the NBA. They wanted them

0:35:24.840 --> 0:35:27.400
<v Speaker 2>to take it seriously. Those rings look like my damn

0:35:27.440 --> 0:35:31.000
<v Speaker 2>class ring from high school. It's like a Joscelyn ring. Like,

0:35:31.040 --> 0:35:32.640
<v Speaker 2>they don't look like they're spending a lot of money

0:35:32.680 --> 0:35:35.600
<v Speaker 2>on them. That's fine. Let them have the rings. Everyone

0:35:35.680 --> 0:35:39.280
<v Speaker 2>just wants to complain about everything. Let them have the rings.

0:35:39.320 --> 0:35:41.360
<v Speaker 2>All right, what's last? Go ahead, because we're late on

0:35:41.400 --> 0:35:43.719
<v Speaker 2>time because I went on my brain trophies.

0:35:44.680 --> 0:35:47.879
<v Speaker 3>Let's do it. So Tom Brady was on VAK off

0:35:47.920 --> 0:35:51.440
<v Speaker 3>the off the Amalfi Coast. Yeah, this sounds nice.

0:35:51.880 --> 0:35:55.640
<v Speaker 2>That's where I'm going for really, not this trip but

0:35:55.640 --> 0:35:57.400
<v Speaker 2>the one in August. Yeah, I'm gonna stop by the

0:35:57.400 --> 0:35:59.000
<v Speaker 2>Amalfi Coast, but go ahead and keep going.

0:36:00.600 --> 0:36:03.080
<v Speaker 3>They were showing the Minions move well, they weren't showing

0:36:03.080 --> 0:36:06.600
<v Speaker 3>the Minions movie anywhere nearby. So Brady posted a TikTok

0:36:06.640 --> 0:36:08.120
<v Speaker 3>saying that he was going to take a private jet

0:36:08.160 --> 0:36:10.400
<v Speaker 3>to go and see the Minions movie. Yeah, but the

0:36:10.400 --> 0:36:12.880
<v Speaker 3>strangest part about this is the Minions and Tom Brady

0:36:12.920 --> 0:36:16.440
<v Speaker 3>have beef and twenty twenty one, the Minions posted a

0:36:16.960 --> 0:36:21.200
<v Speaker 3>quick tweet saying, ah squeezees like a deflated football and

0:36:21.200 --> 0:36:25.360
<v Speaker 3>then quickly just deleted. Okay, right or wrong? Tom Brady

0:36:25.400 --> 0:36:28.040
<v Speaker 3>retired to I mean unretired to prove the Minions wrong.

0:36:28.120 --> 0:36:32.000
<v Speaker 2>All right, that's obviously wrong. But and listen, everybody knows

0:36:32.040 --> 0:36:37.399
<v Speaker 2>I'm not the world's hugest Tom Brady fan. However, this

0:36:37.520 --> 0:36:41.640
<v Speaker 2>is the type of Instagram flex that I appreciate. I

0:36:41.719 --> 0:36:46.439
<v Speaker 2>appreciate Tom Brady just casually being like It's just it's

0:36:46.480 --> 0:36:51.520
<v Speaker 2>such an efficient flex. It is a parenting flex of

0:36:52.040 --> 0:36:54.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm on vacation, but I still want my kids to

0:36:54.080 --> 0:36:58.560
<v Speaker 2>be happy. It is a vacation locale flex of yeah,

0:36:58.600 --> 0:37:00.759
<v Speaker 2>I'm just hanging out on the muffy coat. And then

0:37:00.800 --> 0:37:04.920
<v Speaker 2>it is a I am so much wealthier than you

0:37:05.000 --> 0:37:08.760
<v Speaker 2>can ever imagine, and that I am chartering a private

0:37:08.840 --> 0:37:11.880
<v Speaker 2>plane to take my kids to a movie flex. It

0:37:12.000 --> 0:37:14.520
<v Speaker 2>is and it was all in just one little tweet.

0:37:14.840 --> 0:37:17.279
<v Speaker 2>So I have I actually have mad respect for this.

0:37:17.640 --> 0:37:20.640
<v Speaker 2>That's what I have respect for the Minions, reminding America that,

0:37:20.880 --> 0:37:23.319
<v Speaker 2>you know, the Patriots for a long time essentially never

0:37:23.360 --> 0:37:25.359
<v Speaker 2>ever fumbled the football and no one could figure out why.

0:37:25.360 --> 0:37:27.520
<v Speaker 2>And then we're like, oh, the footballs are deflated and

0:37:27.520 --> 0:37:29.640
<v Speaker 2>their waves are to hold and it kind of puts

0:37:29.640 --> 0:37:31.400
<v Speaker 2>a you know, a black cloud over a bunch of

0:37:31.400 --> 0:37:32.160
<v Speaker 2>their championships.

0:37:32.200 --> 0:37:36.080
<v Speaker 3>We'll be right back, but but the Minions, Minions versus

0:37:36.120 --> 0:37:39.840
<v Speaker 3>Brady better than all right, I'm sorry, No, we're skipping that.

0:37:40.560 --> 0:37:43.719
<v Speaker 3>I didn't I didn't like that at all. I did

0:37:43.760 --> 0:37:48.320
<v Speaker 3>not like that at all. But hey, the Minions versus

0:37:48.320 --> 0:37:51.040
<v Speaker 3>Minions versus Brady is a better rival with the rivalry

0:37:51.080 --> 0:37:56.799
<v Speaker 3>than Argusy, Sampris or Borg McEnroe. Uh, we'll record that

0:37:56.880 --> 0:37:57.600
<v Speaker 3>on the side.

0:37:58.680 --> 0:38:05.320
<v Speaker 2>No, that was perfect. All right. First of all, you

0:38:05.440 --> 0:38:09.319
<v Speaker 2>got tripped up because rivalry is a very difficult word

0:38:09.360 --> 0:38:12.960
<v Speaker 2>to say, and I mean that sincerely. Rivalry is like

0:38:13.040 --> 0:38:15.239
<v Speaker 2>one of my hardest ones because it combines the l's

0:38:15.280 --> 0:38:17.799
<v Speaker 2>and the rs. So that's a hard one. But then

0:38:18.480 --> 0:38:22.560
<v Speaker 2>I think you called Andre Augusty Argacy, like the Argusy

0:38:22.640 --> 0:38:26.760
<v Speaker 2>casinos in my hometown, yeah, in Kansas City. I also

0:38:26.840 --> 0:38:31.720
<v Speaker 2>think you called John McEnroe McEnroe which is not ideal.

0:38:32.200 --> 0:38:37.440
<v Speaker 3>I studied, Argusty sampras or Bork McEnroe, Argusy sampras Or

0:38:37.600 --> 0:38:44.280
<v Speaker 3>Bork McEnroe, argus.

0:38:45.280 --> 0:38:47.680
<v Speaker 2>You almost got it there. That was great. This is

0:38:47.719 --> 0:38:50.759
<v Speaker 2>definitely gonna make the show. Now we'll be right back,

0:38:57.160 --> 0:38:59.160
<v Speaker 2>all right, welcome back in What's Right? With Nick Ray's

0:38:59.160 --> 0:39:01.399
<v Speaker 2>final segment. In a reminder, we will have a show

0:39:01.440 --> 0:39:04.799
<v Speaker 2>on Thursday. Then we'll be off for a week, and

0:39:04.840 --> 0:39:09.279
<v Speaker 2>then the following Sunday, So thirteen days from today, we

0:39:09.360 --> 0:39:14.600
<v Speaker 2>will be back with the player number three, the third

0:39:14.600 --> 0:39:19.080
<v Speaker 2>greatest player of the last fifty years in the NBA. Again,

0:39:19.200 --> 0:39:21.279
<v Speaker 2>this top three. We know who it is. You guys

0:39:21.280 --> 0:39:22.960
<v Speaker 2>have known who the top three was gonna be from

0:39:22.960 --> 0:39:25.160
<v Speaker 2>the very beginning. If you, I mean, if you know

0:39:25.239 --> 0:39:29.239
<v Speaker 2>anything about basketball, it's obvious the three greatest players, not

0:39:29.280 --> 0:39:32.680
<v Speaker 2>in the last fifty years, but ever our Kareem, Lebron

0:39:32.960 --> 0:39:36.160
<v Speaker 2>and Michael The question is the order. I have had

0:39:36.320 --> 0:39:39.960
<v Speaker 2>so much fun researching this project. Number three comes out

0:39:40.040 --> 0:39:42.160
<v Speaker 2>in thirteen well, I guess thirteen days fromhen we were

0:39:42.160 --> 0:39:44.279
<v Speaker 2>recording twelve days from when you guys are hearing this

0:39:44.600 --> 0:39:46.960
<v Speaker 2>a week from Sunday, but we will be off next week.

0:39:47.600 --> 0:39:49.720
<v Speaker 2>We usually try to have some fun in this final

0:39:49.760 --> 0:39:51.840
<v Speaker 2>segment of the show. However, there's a little bit of

0:39:52.080 --> 0:39:55.880
<v Speaker 2>news trickling out Demons while we are recording. There was

0:39:56.000 --> 0:39:59.680
<v Speaker 2>news from Nick Fridell on Kyrie Irving that he was

0:39:59.719 --> 0:40:03.320
<v Speaker 2>just flatly, is Kyrie Irving does it look like is

0:40:03.360 --> 0:40:05.640
<v Speaker 2>he going to be a Laker? And the answer was yes,

0:40:05.719 --> 0:40:08.759
<v Speaker 2>it might just take some time. I saw that there

0:40:08.840 --> 0:40:11.560
<v Speaker 2>was news this week and the Lakers don't want to

0:40:11.560 --> 0:40:14.960
<v Speaker 2>include a first round pick. The Lakers are gonna get Kyrie.

0:40:15.400 --> 0:40:17.560
<v Speaker 2>The idea that anyone within the Lakers is gonna be

0:40:17.600 --> 0:40:21.120
<v Speaker 2>I understand all the baggage that comes with Kyrie, but

0:40:21.160 --> 0:40:23.200
<v Speaker 2>you're gonna be able to get rid of Russell Westbrook,

0:40:23.400 --> 0:40:25.279
<v Speaker 2>You're gonna be able to bring in Kyrie Irving, and

0:40:25.320 --> 0:40:28.240
<v Speaker 2>you're gonna get Kyrie Irving for twelve cents on the dollar.

0:40:28.640 --> 0:40:31.879
<v Speaker 2>So that's an obvious move. But the other move that's

0:40:31.920 --> 0:40:36.880
<v Speaker 2>happening in with the Nets right now is obviously an

0:40:36.920 --> 0:40:40.719
<v Speaker 2>attempted Kevin Durant trade. And what's fascinating about that is

0:40:40.760 --> 0:40:44.359
<v Speaker 2>his preferred destination is Phoenix, and there is news from

0:40:44.400 --> 0:40:46.600
<v Speaker 2>Brian Windhorse that do you want to give it, or

0:40:46.600 --> 0:40:48.800
<v Speaker 2>do you want me to give it? Brian Windhors. While

0:40:48.840 --> 0:40:52.319
<v Speaker 2>we've been talking, Brian Windhors says that I'll give it.

0:40:52.360 --> 0:40:54.040
<v Speaker 2>What's up? What are you laughing at me about?

0:40:54.840 --> 0:40:56.319
<v Speaker 3>Oh you said me give it?

0:40:56.400 --> 0:40:59.560
<v Speaker 2>Or yeah, yeah, exactly, and then you started laughing at me.

0:41:00.360 --> 0:41:02.800
<v Speaker 3>No, I was just laughing because you said Kevin Durant

0:41:02.800 --> 0:41:04.840
<v Speaker 3>wants to go to the Suns like that, honestly, like

0:41:04.880 --> 0:41:07.279
<v Speaker 3>it made me laugh a little bit. Wow. But yet,

0:41:07.480 --> 0:41:09.440
<v Speaker 3>are you talking about DeAndre Ayton to the Pacers?

0:41:09.719 --> 0:41:13.440
<v Speaker 2>Yes, exactly right, DeAndre Ayden. If Brian Windhorst is reporting

0:41:13.480 --> 0:41:15.839
<v Speaker 2>DeAndre Aydon, the Pacers are sign him to an offer

0:41:15.880 --> 0:41:19.439
<v Speaker 2>sheet or execute a sign and trade very sooner DeAndre Ayton.

0:41:19.800 --> 0:41:23.760
<v Speaker 2>So how does that impact Kevin Durant. Well, if DeAndre

0:41:23.880 --> 0:41:27.920
<v Speaker 2>Ayton can't be included in a Kevin Durant trade, then

0:41:27.960 --> 0:41:31.239
<v Speaker 2>the Suns flatly aren't gonna have enough assets. They're not

0:41:31.280 --> 0:41:34.600
<v Speaker 2>gonna First of all, they can't trade Devin Booker because

0:41:34.600 --> 0:41:36.719
<v Speaker 2>Devin Booker and Ben Simmons can't be on the same

0:41:36.719 --> 0:41:40.439
<v Speaker 2>team because of that designated player rule. However, they weren't

0:41:40.440 --> 0:41:45.080
<v Speaker 2>gonna trade Devin Booker anyway. Mikhale bridges and stuff is

0:41:45.120 --> 0:41:48.880
<v Speaker 2>not going to be enough for the Brooklyn Nets. So

0:41:49.160 --> 0:41:52.879
<v Speaker 2>I have been so I think that if DeAndre Ayton does,

0:41:52.920 --> 0:41:55.240
<v Speaker 2>because he wasn't DeAndre Ayton, we wasn't gonna wait forever

0:41:55.480 --> 0:41:57.719
<v Speaker 2>for this Durant thing to get done. So it's not

0:41:57.840 --> 0:42:01.160
<v Speaker 2>shocking to me that DeAndre Ayton is now. The Pacers

0:42:01.160 --> 0:42:03.400
<v Speaker 2>have been tied to him, you know, for a while.

0:42:03.680 --> 0:42:06.799
<v Speaker 2>This also is devastating for the Suns. And I don't

0:42:06.800 --> 0:42:10.120
<v Speaker 2>think the Ayton's a great player, but losing Ayighton potentially

0:42:10.160 --> 0:42:11.839
<v Speaker 2>for nothing, and if it is a sign and trade,

0:42:11.840 --> 0:42:13.200
<v Speaker 2>we'll see what they get back in the sign and

0:42:13.239 --> 0:42:17.320
<v Speaker 2>trade obviously hurts them in the final, you know, final

0:42:18.280 --> 0:42:21.360
<v Speaker 2>year of Chris Paul's you know window as a championship player.

0:42:21.400 --> 0:42:23.560
<v Speaker 2>And by the way, that year might have been last year,

0:42:23.600 --> 0:42:25.480
<v Speaker 2>but I can't imagine he has more than one year

0:42:25.560 --> 0:42:27.880
<v Speaker 2>left if he has that, so it urts the Suns,

0:42:28.280 --> 0:42:32.360
<v Speaker 2>but it also eliminates another team that Durant could be

0:42:32.400 --> 0:42:35.040
<v Speaker 2>traded to. So I'm gonna keep saying what I've been

0:42:35.080 --> 0:42:39.440
<v Speaker 2>saying all along. The Pelicans are the team that makes

0:42:39.760 --> 0:42:43.160
<v Speaker 2>the most sense. They are the team that can send

0:42:43.160 --> 0:42:45.960
<v Speaker 2>a young All Star to Brooklyn. They are the team

0:42:46.040 --> 0:42:48.200
<v Speaker 2>that has all the picks in the world that they

0:42:48.239 --> 0:42:51.120
<v Speaker 2>can trade, and they are the team that could trade

0:42:51.160 --> 0:42:54.720
<v Speaker 2>a young All star, bring in Kevin Durant and still

0:42:54.760 --> 0:42:58.720
<v Speaker 2>potentially be competing for a championship. Because Katie is your one,

0:42:59.200 --> 0:43:02.360
<v Speaker 2>Zion is your two, and CJ. McCollum as your three.

0:43:03.040 --> 0:43:06.440
<v Speaker 2>With HERB Jones and others, you know, filling out the

0:43:06.440 --> 0:43:10.080
<v Speaker 2>rest of the roster, that team can absolutely compete in

0:43:10.080 --> 0:43:13.759
<v Speaker 2>the Western Conference. And I do like the idea of

0:43:13.880 --> 0:43:17.319
<v Speaker 2>Durant coming to a team in the Western Conference because

0:43:17.360 --> 0:43:20.960
<v Speaker 2>I like the idea of us potentially getting Durant Lebron

0:43:21.040 --> 0:43:24.040
<v Speaker 2>in the playoffs on fair terms, which we've only ever

0:43:24.120 --> 0:43:27.080
<v Speaker 2>gotten once in the twenty twelve finals. And I do

0:43:27.239 --> 0:43:30.000
<v Speaker 2>like the idea of getting Durant versus Steph in the

0:43:30.000 --> 0:43:32.719
<v Speaker 2>playoffs at some point, which obviously, the last time we

0:43:32.760 --> 0:43:35.239
<v Speaker 2>got was twenty sixteen. In fact, the only time we

0:43:35.280 --> 0:43:38.120
<v Speaker 2>got it was twenty sixteen, and then Durant joined Steph

0:43:38.200 --> 0:43:40.520
<v Speaker 2>and since then they've never played in the playoffs obviously,

0:43:40.560 --> 0:43:43.800
<v Speaker 2>So I hope Durant ends up with the Pelicans. I

0:43:43.880 --> 0:43:45.680
<v Speaker 2>always thought the Sons are gonna be hard trade to

0:43:45.680 --> 0:43:48.080
<v Speaker 2>make it's an impossible trade if by the time you

0:43:48.200 --> 0:43:51.480
<v Speaker 2>see or hear this, DeAndre Ayton is on the Indiana

0:43:51.520 --> 0:43:54.520
<v Speaker 2>Pacers that is today's show. Well back on Thursday before

0:43:54.520 --> 0:43:55.560
<v Speaker 2>you take a quick vacation
