00:00:50.840 --> 00:00:53.679
Uh, ladies and gentlemen, boys
and girls, cats and dogs. This

2
00:00:53.759 --> 00:00:57.039
is another episode of ninety four feet
podcast. That's your boy, but ezeche

3
00:00:57.039 --> 00:01:00.320
in the building here, my brother
Grey, Yo, what's good? Everybody?

4
00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:06.439
Happy summer? My boy Kesey was
good, good people, and we

5
00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:11.239
are here. We are coming down
to it. The NBA Finals is here.

6
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:17.560
If you do not know, If
you do not know, I think

7
00:01:17.560 --> 00:01:23.319
the lost time we recorded was Game
five of Dallas and the Timberwolves. Dallas

8
00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:26.239
gave them a nice spanking. I
don't know the score, and I can

9
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:30.879
recall it. It was. It
was bad. All I know is Luca

10
00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:38.000
went off and they could not recover. I'm not surprised. Well, no,

11
00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:40.599
what, I'm sorry, I am
surprised. I'm very surprised. I

12
00:01:40.599 --> 00:01:46.200
thought after Minnesota beat Denver they were
bound to go to the NBA Finals.

13
00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:49.159
I will say that I thought their
NBA final NBA Finals bound, but they

14
00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:53.560
tell them not. And then Boston
be Indiana for a handle in a row.

15
00:01:55.079 --> 00:01:57.840
Now, I want to say easily, because they swept them, but

16
00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:04.719
should have won three two of those
games actually should have won three. Let's

17
00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:06.799
be honest. I think they should
have won like two of those games,

18
00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:08.319
So that game that serious should have
went first. I think they should have

19
00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:10.879
won like two of those games.
You know, on that topic, since

20
00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:15.960
you mentioned that, I am we
were pretty hard on Indiana because we don't

21
00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:23.159
like them. But I wonder if
Halliburton played how different it would have been,

22
00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:29.080
because they almost did win game one, they almost won Game two,

23
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:32.560
they almost won Game three. U. Let's be honest. Boston had to

24
00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:37.719
really earn that game for victory because
it was back and forth. It was

25
00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:42.520
never such a blowout. So they
won two with they lost two with Halliburt

26
00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:46.560
in the thing, and then they
lost two more without Halliburt. So I

27
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:51.360
don't think Halliburton is the factor into
how they're going to win games. You

28
00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:55.639
know what the factor is going to
be is them getting more maturity in learning

29
00:02:55.719 --> 00:03:01.840
to take advantage of their leads and
and that comes with time. And they're

30
00:03:01.919 --> 00:03:06.280
young. Some of the players on
there ain't been there the whole season,

31
00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:12.400
and they kind of lost their balance
in the going against Boston, who has

32
00:03:12.439 --> 00:03:17.000
a balance because they play together all
year. Indiana is not a horrible team,

33
00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:21.520
they're just young, and I don't
like Halliburt, young and cocky.

34
00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:24.800
Yeah, I think they got they
gotta they gotta they gotta find they gotta

35
00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:29.599
find a chemistry to get them over
the hunk. Yeah, that does with

36
00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:34.719
time. I think that. To
me, the difference between Boston and there

37
00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:38.479
difference between Indiana and Boston was Indiana
didn't have a closer. And now what

38
00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:43.120
I mean by a closer is somebody
who can keep scoring. Man, that's

39
00:03:43.159 --> 00:03:45.719
the maturity part. But I don't
know if that's gonna be a maturity part

40
00:03:45.800 --> 00:03:50.599
because if you if you're sick.
Because the person so game so three and

41
00:03:50.719 --> 00:03:53.800
four, I think I don't know
his name, I'm gonna try to I

42
00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:58.439
disagree. But finished guy, the
guy who was carrying them through the first

43
00:03:58.680 --> 00:04:02.879
three fourth orders, like the first
four little Bone Thugs and Harmony, Little

44
00:04:02.919 --> 00:04:08.280
Bone Thugs and Harmony from Indiana.
He was carrying them in game two and

45
00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:12.479
three and four. He was carrying
them all three quarters and they had a

46
00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:15.920
substantial leave. When it came down
to that five minutes in the fourth quarter,

47
00:04:16.519 --> 00:04:19.639
Boston like kind of shut him down, and he was making mistakes that

48
00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:24.920
a young player makes. So I
get what you're saying, but I still

49
00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:28.959
feel like, even let's say Hallibert
was there, I don't think he would

50
00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:30.720
have made the difference as far as
them being the closer, because he's not

51
00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:35.040
a closer. He can't score whenever
he move, he could just score anything.

52
00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:40.079
That's that's the reason I said.
Maturity comes where you know how to

53
00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:45.079
get a bucket and stop the bleeding
like a Kyrie. Irvin, he knows

54
00:04:45.079 --> 00:04:47.040
when he got to get a bucket. Yeah, Luca knows when he got

55
00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:53.160
to get a bucket. Tatum,
he he kind of knows when it's how

56
00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:58.000
I said, kind of just say
all the way. Sometimes he's still he's

57
00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:00.959
still finding his way a little bit
too. But I think Drew was giving

58
00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:06.879
them their balance. One thing about
Indiana that I think was missing. I

59
00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:13.920
think kind of like the bucks.
They need that third scorer if Indiana,

60
00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:17.879
because the people that Indiana did play
with, when they went cold, they

61
00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:23.040
went cold. In Game four,
it was eight minutes and nine seconds that

62
00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:29.079
Indiana didn't score not one basket,
and when God forbid, that's the Golden

63
00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:34.920
State Warriors, right or Dallas with
sharpshooters, and they're continuously scoring and missing.

64
00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:39.879
So to me, it seems like
Indiana was missing just a small piece.

65
00:05:40.120 --> 00:05:42.240
And we said it, well,
Zeke and I said it all year

66
00:05:42.279 --> 00:05:45.399
because you know, you can't be
objective Kesey when it comes to the Bucks.

67
00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:50.639
But we said all year it's true
what you got to say, well,

68
00:05:50.680 --> 00:05:55.480
because leave me out of it.
Zeke and I said this all year.

69
00:05:56.439 --> 00:05:59.959
The Milwaukee Bucks did not want to
see Indiana in the playoffs because we

70
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:03.399
didn't believe they could beat them.
And with or without Gianni Is, Indiana

71
00:06:03.439 --> 00:06:08.839
made it look easy. With us
in the playoffs, Boston barely beat them.

72
00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:12.439
And I'm gonna say this, I
think it leads a segue into your

73
00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:19.560
first topic. I am concerned about
the Boston Celtics ability to beat the Mavericks

74
00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:24.879
to win the title. I am
very concerned for a lot of reasons.

75
00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:28.000
I don't know we're there yet.
We're not there yet. I'll stop,

76
00:06:28.480 --> 00:06:30.639
but I am concerned and I'll share
it when we get there. I am

77
00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:36.600
extremely concerned about their ability to beat
the Dallas Mavericks because the Boston Celtics,

78
00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:43.120
I have a lot to say about
their game play. Well, like I

79
00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:46.160
said, speaking of the Boston Celtics, many would say the Boston Celtics had

80
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:50.879
an easier path to the NBA Finals. Is this an advantage or a disadvantage?

81
00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:56.759
Going into the series. I think
it's a big disadvantage. One of

82
00:06:56.759 --> 00:07:00.279
the things that I see, or
that we've all seen with the Boston Celtics

83
00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:05.439
is when they're on, they're on. But when those Cats are off,

84
00:07:05.879 --> 00:07:12.040
oh, they are off, and
they are off terrible. Right, for

85
00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:15.000
the first round, they swept,
right, they got what's it callor got

86
00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:18.279
one? Boston's only lost two games, right, Boston's only lost two games

87
00:07:18.360 --> 00:07:23.240
this whole series. I think they're
twelve and one of Miami and one and

88
00:07:23.279 --> 00:07:30.199
one to Cleveland. Cleveland. Okay, so Miami heat, No Jimmy easy,

89
00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:34.319
Donovan Mitchell sat out what the last
two games of that series? Two

90
00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:42.279
games? Yep? Easy? Right, Indiana was hobbled. Indiana was easy

91
00:07:42.319 --> 00:07:44.160
getting there too. No, no, no, no, no, you

92
00:07:44.279 --> 00:07:47.439
can't say that Boston didn't have it
easy to say. Indiana they have Giannis,

93
00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:51.720
they had a wishy, washy Dame, and we had a banged up

94
00:07:51.800 --> 00:07:57.079
Chris Middleton. So Indiana's pathway was
just as easy as Boston's. Come on,

95
00:07:57.120 --> 00:08:00.959
now, I don't want to say
that. Well, it was just

96
00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:03.079
as easy. They took they took, they took what's it called, took

97
00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:09.839
them to seven and I think they
took the Knicks to seven. Bronson got

98
00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:11.160
hurt. I think if Bronston didn't
get hurt, it might have been it

99
00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:16.759
might have ended differently. And as
far as them playing the Bucks, the

100
00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:20.560
Bucks didn't have Giannis. If the
Bucks are who we say they are,

101
00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:24.120
they should have been Indiana. It
would it should have went to seven,

102
00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:30.920
but they should have been Indiana.
But as I think it's as far as

103
00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:33.039
it being a disadvantage or an advantage, I think I kind of think it's

104
00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:39.000
an advantage. You have yet to
play the best basketball and you have yet

105
00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:46.000
to be put in the position to
uh a position to you. You're scrambling,

106
00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:52.919
per se. They were scrambling.
Don't let they were scrambling. Don't

107
00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:56.000
let their twelve and two record fool
you in the playoffs because they had to

108
00:08:56.159 --> 00:09:03.480
fight for all those when the only
tea they really destroyed really was the Miami

109
00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:07.720
Heat. But like you just said, without Jimmy, without without Jimmy,

110
00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:13.559
I think when when it came to
Cleveland, I think I think Donovan Mitch

111
00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:16.879
would have got them one more win, Cleveland one more win, and then

112
00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:22.360
they had Indiana. Indiana is just
inexperience. I think that was their only

113
00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:26.360
thing. But I think that it's
an advantage because you have yet to play

114
00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:30.279
your best basketball. I think that
when you come when you talk about the

115
00:09:30.279 --> 00:09:35.360
East, it was it was it
was Boston Milwaukee. It was Boston Milwaukee,

116
00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:39.200
and the Knicks came along towards the
end of the season, but it

117
00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:45.480
was really Boston Milwaukee. It was
Boston and Milwaukee's to lose. And especially

118
00:09:45.480 --> 00:09:48.759
when uh what's his name? Plus
you when NB got hurt and stuff like

119
00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:52.679
that, it was it became a
wide on the thing. But to me,

120
00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:54.120
I think it's an advantage just because
they have, you have to play

121
00:09:54.120 --> 00:09:58.399
their best basketball. They have yet
to have a real challenge or whatever.

122
00:09:58.399 --> 00:10:01.279
And I knew that was gonna happen, actually, but I think it's an

123
00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:18.480
advantage. Casey, take your time. Take your time? What proverb sixteen

124
00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:26.080
three? It's the Bible lab Sorry, really did, Casey? You?

125
00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:30.960
You've been in a dialogue for sixty
seconds and I hate said a word.

126
00:10:30.960 --> 00:10:31.960
Really do? It is the first
thing you got to say. I did

127
00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:37.720
say something. Man, we talked
about this just this recent Yeah, you're

128
00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:41.000
weird talking about this, he said, Casey. You was like, because

129
00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:46.720
I was getting ready, getting ready
for Claire, you're sound like your clients,

130
00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:50.720
y'all making lose my whole train of
thought dealing with y'all. So I

131
00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:58.000
like your clients anyways, I haven't
lost track. Oh Jesus Christ, I

132
00:10:58.039 --> 00:11:03.639
lost whole trying to thought listening to
him, the whole BI belong. What

133
00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:07.360
I asked was the Boston Celciers had
an easy path to the playoffs to the

134
00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:11.879
finals. I wouldn't say an advantage
or a disadvantage. I don't say a

135
00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:16.960
disadvantage, but I do say it's
not an advantage or disadvantage. I mean,

136
00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:22.840
it is what it is. Remember
we keep saying that every year since

137
00:11:22.879 --> 00:11:26.840
we've been doing this, a lot
has got to go right in your favor

138
00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:28.519
to make it to the finals.
And this is the type of stuff we're

139
00:11:28.519 --> 00:11:35.240
talking about, injuries and that.
But that's shooting. But I'm gonna let

140
00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:39.519
you series, you know what I
mean. Like they just had series that

141
00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:41.879
go the way they wanted it to
go. But they are number one seed,

142
00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:45.919
just like the different. It ain't
no different than when the Bucks one

143
00:11:46.759 --> 00:11:48.799
we was the number one seed.
I know, I'm sorry, we number

144
00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:54.039
two seeds, but at the end
of the day, we played a injury

145
00:11:54.639 --> 00:12:01.360
of Brooklyn got injured. No,
Kyrie didn't play none that series. Harder

146
00:12:01.399 --> 00:12:07.720
got injured that No, he got
injured Game one or two that was hard

147
00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:11.879
didn't play that series. No,
Kyle didn't play that series. James hard

148
00:12:11.879 --> 00:12:13.279
than the one who got hurt the
game. Yeah, didn't play in that

149
00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:18.399
series. Okay, he hurt his
ankle in some series that that year we

150
00:12:18.440 --> 00:12:24.159
won anywhere we had a path to
the finals, we had we had to

151
00:12:24.279 --> 00:12:28.360
assist that went our way. And
that's the same thing with Boston. They

152
00:12:28.399 --> 00:12:31.399
had a path that went their way. So he said it's an easier path.

153
00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:35.799
It's not really easier. It just
that's how. That's just how it

154
00:12:35.879 --> 00:12:39.600
is. Ain't no different than when
when Jordan went to the finals, he

155
00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:43.399
had a path that went his way. Ain't no different when the Lakers went

156
00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:48.200
to the finals and they wanted with
Shaq and Kobe, stuff went they way.

157
00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:52.399
I'm not gonna I usually I'm not
gonna let dre tap dance around this.

158
00:12:52.440 --> 00:12:56.279
I'm not gonna let you tap dance
tap dance, said I know.

159
00:12:56.360 --> 00:13:03.720
I said, I'm usually tap dance
tap dance. Yeah. Later sought out

160
00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:07.600
your shoes. You can't. Yeah, you're not even gonna be just tapped

161
00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:09.919
that. I'm gonna be honest with
you. Then all right, we don't

162
00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:13.960
look at it like this. Then
all right, they're gonna struggle against Dallas

163
00:13:15.799 --> 00:13:20.919
because you're going against you're going against
a prime time veteran and Kyrie and Kyrie,

164
00:13:22.840 --> 00:13:28.679
and then you're going against a Luca
who confidence is on one hundred thousand

165
00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:35.279
right now. The performance he put
on that last game against Minnesota Lu but

166
00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:37.840
he was balling out the whole shoes. But that last game he was on

167
00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:41.360
one. Oh, he owned,
he was on one. Owned, he

168
00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:46.000
owned everybody that guarded him that that
game. He was on one. And

169
00:13:46.159 --> 00:13:50.480
he going into the finals on one. And that's something you don't want.

170
00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:54.960
Because Kyrie gonna beat Kyrie. You
don't want Luca coming in thinking he owned

171
00:13:56.000 --> 00:13:58.799
one and he gonna get you.
I mean, some people say it's the

172
00:13:58.799 --> 00:14:03.840
other way around, you know,
because Luca and Tatum cross each other out.

173
00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:07.720
Let's go there, right. I
don't know about that, because see

174
00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:09.639
the thing is, with the game
on the line, I'm gonna give it

175
00:14:09.679 --> 00:14:13.480
to Luca before I give it the
table. I'm just I don't think they

176
00:14:13.480 --> 00:14:18.200
can. I don't think that statistics, but I don't think, Luca.

177
00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:22.039
You know what I'm saying. It's
almost balanced. One might be a little

178
00:14:22.039 --> 00:14:24.960
better than the other one some games, but at the end of the day,

179
00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:28.840
they kind of balance each other out. Brown and even go and balance

180
00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:33.840
each other out. It's gonna what
Kyrie have halves where he don't even score

181
00:14:33.919 --> 00:14:37.840
but two points, you get what
I'm saying. And if Brown do the

182
00:14:37.840 --> 00:14:39.840
same thing, where it's halves where
he don't even score, just like Kyrie,

183
00:14:41.120 --> 00:14:43.600
and then he'll come on and have
twenty something in the second half,

184
00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:50.279
but still Brown. But Brown is
the difference is Brown is a definitive too,

185
00:14:50.600 --> 00:14:54.559
Kyrie is it long, So they're
canceling each other out. Basically,

186
00:14:54.159 --> 00:15:01.320
it's gonna boil down to everybody after
those four players, who's gonna show up?

187
00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:07.600
Because I think Boston is clearly,
clearly the better defensive team by locked

188
00:15:07.879 --> 00:15:13.080
but locked. If Derek White comes
out and play the way he been playing

189
00:15:13.879 --> 00:15:20.360
all playoffs, Dallas might have some
problems. If my Singers comes back,

190
00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:24.759
they might have some problem. He
will be available game one. But Graphic

191
00:15:24.840 --> 00:15:30.320
has been playing some good ball,
So I mean you I ain't gonna I'll

192
00:15:30.320 --> 00:15:31.600
get into it. We'll get into
it. Later. But number one,

193
00:15:33.519 --> 00:15:39.279
the funny part is Jason Tatum North
Jaylen Brown will not be initially guarding Luca.

194
00:15:39.639 --> 00:15:43.279
It's gonna be It's gonna be Drew. He's gonna happen. He's gonna

195
00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:48.399
give Drew some problems. You give
him something. Derek White is gonna be

196
00:15:48.440 --> 00:15:52.799
holding Kyrie, and Kyrie is gonna
give him some problems initially. Now after

197
00:15:52.799 --> 00:15:54.600
they didn't got balled out all you
don't have to switch it up. Who

198
00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:58.080
told you that? Because their guard, their point guards in their shooting guard.

199
00:15:58.120 --> 00:16:00.679
Who told you that? Though?
Who told me what that that's what

200
00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:06.080
they want to do. I could
just tell Jason Tatum, I'm gonna tell

201
00:16:06.080 --> 00:16:11.720
you like this, if you put
Drew on Luca Dallas wins in five,

202
00:16:12.799 --> 00:16:17.960
you don't have that kind of faith
in Drew to lock him up because let

203
00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:21.080
me tell you why. Because Luca, Luca is the type of player He's

204
00:16:21.120 --> 00:16:23.879
gonna play at his same pace all
the time. He's not going to change

205
00:16:23.879 --> 00:16:27.960
his pace. And that's the same
thing that Jimmy Butler does. He plays

206
00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:33.399
at his own pace and he doesn't
change his pace. And that's what gives

207
00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:37.519
who Jimmy does change, don't Jimmy
do what he do. He bigger,

208
00:16:37.559 --> 00:16:40.559
He just bigger. He take advantage
of it, just the same way Luca

209
00:16:40.600 --> 00:16:42.840
does. They take advantage of what
they can do, what they're good at.

210
00:16:44.120 --> 00:16:47.919
And that's what Jimmy Butler did to
to Drew. He took advantage of

211
00:16:47.960 --> 00:16:51.639
what he was good at, what
he could do good at. Against Drew.

212
00:16:51.879 --> 00:16:53.559
He can get him in the paint
and he can shoot right over him.

213
00:16:55.080 --> 00:16:59.480
Luca's gonna do the same thing.
Sure, mm hmm. You spent

214
00:16:59.519 --> 00:17:03.119
a better chance to putting Drew on
Kyrie and slowing him down and putting him

215
00:17:03.119 --> 00:17:10.839
on Luca. Your better bet is
to put Brown on Luca. Until Brown

216
00:17:10.839 --> 00:17:12.680
don't worry about scoring it this she'll
take them to go nuts. Yeah.

217
00:17:15.319 --> 00:17:19.359
Well, moving on, the same
question goes for the Dallas maverage, and

218
00:17:19.400 --> 00:17:22.559
they had a much harder path to
the NBA Finals. They were a fifth

219
00:17:22.559 --> 00:17:27.440
seed. They were the first team
since the Lakers, since Kobe I don't

220
00:17:27.480 --> 00:17:33.160
know. I think it was sixteen
to seventeen where he beat three fifty fifty

221
00:17:33.240 --> 00:17:37.759
win teams in one playoff series on
his way to the NBA Finals. He'd

222
00:17:37.759 --> 00:17:41.880
be three teams that won fifty game
plus and Luca is the first person to

223
00:17:41.880 --> 00:17:47.240
do that since Kobe, is this
a disadvantage or of an advantage going into

224
00:17:47.240 --> 00:17:52.279
the series. They had a nice
easy path to Cone. How they have

225
00:17:52.319 --> 00:17:57.160
an easy path? They played a
young Oklahoma City Thunder team, young,

226
00:17:57.960 --> 00:18:02.880
very young. They won fifty some
games. Here who did they have first

227
00:18:02.920 --> 00:18:08.920
round Clippers, Clippers, No,
Kawhi, both sides. That's why I

228
00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:12.960
said. They had a path that
that went their way. And then they

229
00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:18.240
got Minnesota after they just put on
they had to pour in everything to beat

230
00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:22.119
the defendive champs. Nah No,
I'm not giving you that because there's no

231
00:18:22.240 --> 00:18:29.000
way after you beat the champs and
this is the fifth seeded team, you

232
00:18:29.160 --> 00:18:33.039
should you'd be like, oh I
got this, we got it, NBA

233
00:18:33.119 --> 00:18:37.000
Finals, no problem. That's how
Anthony was talking. That's how he should

234
00:18:37.000 --> 00:18:40.799
have been talking. But I say
they I said they had Like I said

235
00:18:40.839 --> 00:18:45.640
before each team they had fifty wins
plus despite the injuries. Oklahoma had no

236
00:18:45.680 --> 00:18:51.319
injuries. But you say that until
your body showed different. You get what

237
00:18:51.319 --> 00:18:53.039
I'm saying. Like this, you
tired, You're supposed to be tired.

238
00:18:55.119 --> 00:18:59.079
And if anything, Luca was hurt
when they played the Clippers. He literally

239
00:18:59.160 --> 00:19:02.039
was like hey, but what's hurting
on you everything? I'm tired, my

240
00:19:02.039 --> 00:19:06.839
body is hurting my leg I think
he had like some knee issues or something

241
00:19:06.880 --> 00:19:11.240
like that. Kyrie and Kyrie was
Kyrie was pouring it on that series.

242
00:19:11.359 --> 00:19:14.559
Kyrie was not going ham like that. He didn't go hammer, but he

243
00:19:14.599 --> 00:19:18.359
poured it on enough to keep them
in the game. All Luke had to

244
00:19:18.400 --> 00:19:21.720
do is hear some shots here and
there, Like Luca wasn't still leading team

245
00:19:21.720 --> 00:19:25.200
in scoring though he was. But
but when you got a guard like Kyrie

246
00:19:25.279 --> 00:19:27.839
right next to you, put that
can pour it on and give you a

247
00:19:27.880 --> 00:19:32.359
break here and there because you know
your body is hurting. Who did Anthony

248
00:19:32.480 --> 00:19:37.319
Edwards have to give him a break? Anthony Edwards was. Anthony Edwards was

249
00:19:37.359 --> 00:19:40.119
burnt out. He needed somebody to
step up and give him a break.

250
00:19:40.400 --> 00:19:47.480
Cat didn't do it, and and
and Rudy didn't do it. Nas Reed

251
00:19:47.519 --> 00:19:51.000
didn't do it. All of these
players that everybody was talking about was this,

252
00:19:51.000 --> 00:19:56.359
this, and that. When it
came down to Anthony Edwards needing them,

253
00:19:56.400 --> 00:20:03.039
you couldn't find him. I don't
cashing lines with bait. I.

254
00:20:04.359 --> 00:20:07.359
What I say to that is this, when I agree with that, I'll

255
00:20:07.400 --> 00:20:11.400
agree with that a little bit,
because when Anthony is off, you do

256
00:20:11.519 --> 00:20:14.640
have to, like other guys step
up, and those guys weren't stepping up.

257
00:20:14.960 --> 00:20:19.400
So I will give you that.
But to say that they're they ship

258
00:20:19.519 --> 00:20:25.519
like this is how because you're talking
about two teams who who are I ain't

259
00:20:25.519 --> 00:20:29.400
gonna say equally, but they they
rolled the same path. They had to

260
00:20:29.440 --> 00:20:33.000
beat Minnesota, had to be Phoenix, who they swept and they beat.

261
00:20:33.559 --> 00:20:37.359
Then they played Denver where they took
the seven games, and then now they

262
00:20:37.359 --> 00:20:41.519
had to play Dallas, who they
took the with the five games. Anthony

263
00:20:41.599 --> 00:20:45.359
Edwards setting himself in post game,
I need to do better. I needed

264
00:20:45.400 --> 00:20:49.519
to get my training up, even
though he knows even though I should be

265
00:20:49.559 --> 00:20:52.119
tired right now, I shouldn't be
this tired. I should have been able

266
00:20:52.119 --> 00:20:57.480
to keep up with Luca and with
Kyrie, even though you're you're talking about

267
00:20:57.480 --> 00:21:02.640
too one is a super star and
the other one is, I want to

268
00:21:02.680 --> 00:21:04.359
say, a pass superstar. I
just think he has a bad rap,

269
00:21:04.400 --> 00:21:08.920
but he's still a superstar. Yeah. So when you talk about how like

270
00:21:08.960 --> 00:21:12.720
they both had a I mean both
these teams had a Minnesota Timbers in the

271
00:21:12.759 --> 00:21:15.799
Boston So's had an easy path.
I wouldn't say that. I would say

272
00:21:15.839 --> 00:21:19.000
they had a I think Minnesota,
not Minnesota. I think Dallas had a

273
00:21:19.079 --> 00:21:22.680
rougher path with dealing with getting through
all the stuff they had to deal with.

274
00:21:22.680 --> 00:21:27.119
What is Minnesota coach name? I
don't know, dude that broke his

275
00:21:27.200 --> 00:21:33.720
leg Finch, Finch, Finch or
something like that. Finch series for them,

276
00:21:33.880 --> 00:21:38.119
I don't think. So. Why
you say that? You know why,

277
00:21:38.279 --> 00:21:45.799
anytime you change your offense up and
you make Rudy Gobert post up,

278
00:21:45.960 --> 00:21:51.279
you're going to lose. He had
to think about this, think about it

279
00:21:51.319 --> 00:21:56.279
like this. Out of all the
games we watch with Minnesota, how many

280
00:21:56.319 --> 00:22:03.720
games have you seen the offense was
based around who Gobert posting up? No?

281
00:22:04.200 --> 00:22:07.160
I actually he should never be posting
up. He should be only getting

282
00:22:07.680 --> 00:22:12.519
buckets that are near the like near
the rim, so I should never be

283
00:22:12.599 --> 00:22:18.759
guarding Luca. My only problem is
he's I watched this and then watched this

284
00:22:18.839 --> 00:22:23.920
for those last three games straight.
Mm hmmm. Because because Rudy had Luca

285
00:22:23.960 --> 00:22:27.599
on him, they called themselves trying
to take advantage of that right and making

286
00:22:27.680 --> 00:22:32.640
Rudy post up, but it really
only slowed them down and made them lose

287
00:22:33.400 --> 00:22:36.160
instead of them just kept playing the
way they were planning it, the same

288
00:22:36.200 --> 00:22:45.160
way they were playing against Denver or
what was off off? Then you put

289
00:22:45.279 --> 00:22:49.519
Cat in the post and now who
that Now, now Luca, Luca was

290
00:22:51.400 --> 00:22:55.640
was owning him too. But the
problem is who listen. And then the

291
00:22:55.680 --> 00:23:00.960
problem with it is is like you
got Cat throwing the all into Rudy.

292
00:23:00.519 --> 00:23:03.960
Now who is that? Who the
hell should be throwing the ball to?

293
00:23:03.000 --> 00:23:07.039
Who Rudy should be throwing the cat
or Cat should be throwing the Rudy Neither

294
00:23:07.119 --> 00:23:11.039
one of those things should be happy. It should be Cat is the second

295
00:23:11.039 --> 00:23:14.240
best player in that team. Cats
should be give me the ball. I

296
00:23:14.279 --> 00:23:15.519
see you all, give me the
ball. I go to work. He

297
00:23:15.559 --> 00:23:18.079
should be, and he did not
do that. He should be telling Rudy,

298
00:23:18.119 --> 00:23:21.680
get your big old ass over there
and get and get out of my

299
00:23:21.680 --> 00:23:22.799
way and let me go to work. Exactly. He didn't do that.

300
00:23:22.880 --> 00:23:26.000
You know what he did, toss
the ball, dumped him the ball in

301
00:23:26.039 --> 00:23:30.759
the post every time Luca was on
him. He scored here every now and

302
00:23:30.839 --> 00:23:36.319
again. But it wasn't efficient enough
to help them win games. So that's

303
00:23:36.359 --> 00:23:40.799
why they lost games. They went
away from what they were good at transition

304
00:23:41.200 --> 00:23:45.559
defense. And they couldn't hold Luca, but they couldn't hold Joker either,

305
00:23:45.640 --> 00:23:52.160
or they couldn't hold up Murray.
But Murray got locked up, but you

306
00:23:52.319 --> 00:23:56.519
forced him into tougher shots. To
help you out. I'm gonna go on

307
00:23:56.559 --> 00:24:03.160
the other and you transition in order
to help your defense out. Because the

308
00:24:03.200 --> 00:24:07.160
more you transitioned on that Dallas,
the more you would have You would have

309
00:24:07.200 --> 00:24:10.799
put your foot in Dallas's neck because
Dallas don't play defense like that. You

310
00:24:10.920 --> 00:24:14.759
was set, you was. You
were sitting there letting Grafford sit in the

311
00:24:14.839 --> 00:24:18.920
paint and slap your damn shot all
game. He was blocking Cat shot like

312
00:24:19.000 --> 00:24:23.279
Cat was one of us. I'm
going to go on the reverse side and

313
00:24:23.319 --> 00:24:30.680
say I I hear everything you said. I just think Minnesota because they had

314
00:24:30.720 --> 00:24:37.720
to work so hard to get there. Right, Minnesota sweat Phoenix, which

315
00:24:37.720 --> 00:24:41.000
we were all shocked about. Right, let's just call it with no one

316
00:24:41.079 --> 00:24:44.200
expected them to sweep no Phoenix suns. I thought so you they didn't.

317
00:24:44.720 --> 00:24:48.160
You had Minnesota in six. I
thought the Minnesota. I thought they would

318
00:24:48.160 --> 00:24:52.720
be Phoenix. They sweet. I
still had Phoenix winning even when it went

319
00:24:52.759 --> 00:24:56.279
down to Oh, I'm like Jon
k d but knowing who Kevin Durant is

320
00:24:56.440 --> 00:25:02.279
shouldn't surprise any of us. They
had to come back what no, they

321
00:25:02.279 --> 00:25:03.920
had, Yes, they had to. They were up three to zero and

322
00:25:04.000 --> 00:25:11.160
literally had to come back and defend
themselves and play four more hard fought games

323
00:25:11.200 --> 00:25:15.240
against the defending champions. So I
think Minnesota by the time it got to

324
00:25:15.359 --> 00:25:21.880
Dallas, Minnesota is not as quick
as people think they are. Edwards is,

325
00:25:22.720 --> 00:25:26.279
but Minnesota offensively, they don't move
too quick. Dallas moves quickly.

326
00:25:27.559 --> 00:25:34.279
Guarding Kyrie and Luca was a problem
for Minnesota. Anthony Edwards was held to

327
00:25:34.599 --> 00:25:41.319
season low numbers all series against the
Dallas Mavericks. You can tell he was

328
00:25:41.359 --> 00:25:48.000
tired. I think he put too
much pressure on himself. And Dallas did

329
00:25:48.119 --> 00:25:51.400
something that no one else has been
able to do with these two players all

330
00:25:51.480 --> 00:25:57.640
season. They kept their big men
in foul trouble Cat filed out what two

331
00:25:57.720 --> 00:26:02.960
of the of the game against Minnesota, Rudy filed out in a few of

332
00:26:02.960 --> 00:26:10.799
the games, and Dallas created so
many mismatches that Dallas had this in the

333
00:26:10.839 --> 00:26:15.279
bag. A lot of people think
that it's a mismatch if Zeke is guard

334
00:26:15.319 --> 00:26:18.799
if I'm guarding Zeke because I'm short, right, But it works both ways.

335
00:26:19.200 --> 00:26:25.279
It was a mismatch for both of
those bigs to be on Luca.

336
00:26:25.359 --> 00:26:29.599
It was a mismatch. No one
could hold Kyrie, not one person on

337
00:26:29.640 --> 00:26:34.279
that Minnesota team. So it comes
back to Minnesota and experience. That's why

338
00:26:34.359 --> 00:26:40.799
they lost because Minnesota played. They
played hard. But we also seen.

339
00:26:41.079 --> 00:26:45.880
If anyone questions if Anthony Edwards is
the guy, I tell you he is

340
00:26:45.960 --> 00:26:52.039
absolutely the guy, because we saw
what happened when he doesn't score thirty or

341
00:26:52.079 --> 00:26:55.160
more. I mean, they lose. I don't think he's the guy,

342
00:26:55.279 --> 00:26:59.480
but they lose badly. I'll say
this. I ain't gonna say he's not

343
00:26:59.559 --> 00:27:02.359
the guy. But you know,
now, at first, I was like,

344
00:27:02.400 --> 00:27:03.200
if you make it to the NBA
Finals, we might have to look

345
00:27:03.200 --> 00:27:10.599
at this Jordan thing. But now
that's when the curse started. That's what

346
00:27:10.759 --> 00:27:14.400
he started losing with. Y'all start
calling that man, Mike, that's when

347
00:27:14.440 --> 00:27:18.599
the curse started. Y'all quit.
But like I said before, Jordan and

348
00:27:18.319 --> 00:27:23.240
his playoff career high was in a
losing series. So they'll probably be back

349
00:27:23.240 --> 00:27:26.880
next year. We'll see what happens. I don't know man. One of

350
00:27:26.880 --> 00:27:30.000
the things that I am singing in
the NBA and let the record show,

351
00:27:30.480 --> 00:27:34.839
I am very happy for the Boston
Celtics. I'm very happy for the Dallas

352
00:27:34.839 --> 00:27:42.720
Mavericks. As a longtime Bucks fan, as a Steph Curry fan, as

353
00:27:42.759 --> 00:27:48.039
a guy that hated the Super Team
era, you we all got to admit.

354
00:27:48.160 --> 00:27:52.640
We let's all admit it is nice
to see different people in the finals

355
00:27:52.640 --> 00:27:57.759
for a change, not really besides
the Bucks. It is nice to see

356
00:27:59.000 --> 00:28:02.839
that it's not Lebron. It's nice
to see that it's not Steph Kirk.

357
00:28:02.920 --> 00:28:07.519
I like seeing Stephan Brown in the
finals. They put on shows in the

358
00:28:07.519 --> 00:28:11.000
finals. I don't You don't like
to put shows. Lucas will put on

359
00:28:11.039 --> 00:28:14.559
the show. Kyrie will put on
the show. We're going to see.

360
00:28:15.920 --> 00:28:18.480
You want to see what Kyrie has
really made of I don't want to see.

361
00:28:18.519 --> 00:28:22.359
I don't want to see Boston nothing. I don't want to see.

362
00:28:22.200 --> 00:28:26.200
This is a surprise. This is
redemption for Kyrie. If Kyrie can pull

363
00:28:26.319 --> 00:28:32.359
this off and put on a finals
m v P type of series, he

364
00:28:33.359 --> 00:28:38.559
can rejuvenate Kyrie. Kyrie is already
rejuvenating. What are you talking about?

365
00:28:41.079 --> 00:28:44.440
A star you know what I'm talking
about his reputation. His reputation. I

366
00:28:44.519 --> 00:28:49.279
think his reputation of not having no
issues for the whole season and playing in

367
00:28:49.400 --> 00:28:55.000
some fantastic basketball all season and go
to the finals and put on a show.

368
00:28:55.440 --> 00:28:57.160
Well, here's the thing. He's
going to get paid and people are

369
00:28:57.160 --> 00:29:00.359
going to have already got and he's
going to get respect. You already got

370
00:29:00.400 --> 00:29:03.720
that that he deserves. I think
a lot of people are going to change

371
00:29:03.720 --> 00:29:07.359
their minds about Kyrie. I will
say that since Kyrie left Boston, he's

372
00:29:07.359 --> 00:29:12.480
owing ten. So rather that's regardless. You know, he he was with

373
00:29:12.480 --> 00:29:18.680
Brooklyn ten and what owing ten and
they played Boston's own ten and then remember

374
00:29:18.920 --> 00:29:22.240
they have a personal Vandelic for him
stumping on the logo, stomping on the

375
00:29:22.240 --> 00:29:23.799
logo and stuff like that. So
since he stopped the logo, he's been

376
00:29:23.799 --> 00:29:27.880
on in ten. So I mean, I'm not but no time titles have

377
00:29:27.960 --> 00:29:33.000
been on the line either. That's
true too. Iri is the only player

378
00:29:33.039 --> 00:29:38.960
in these finals that but him and
Holiday that have won a title. Yeah,

379
00:29:38.960 --> 00:29:45.039
but Boston has experience in the NBA
finals losing with Jason Taylorm losing,

380
00:29:45.000 --> 00:29:49.960
It's still experienced losing. It's still
experience, but it's losing, is it

381
00:29:51.039 --> 00:29:56.039
not? Is it not? I
know why you're saying it. Why because

382
00:29:56.119 --> 00:30:00.000
because they who they lost to.
I get it, but they still experience

383
00:30:00.400 --> 00:30:03.559
really lose, and when it's still
experienced. This said, this is going

384
00:30:03.640 --> 00:30:11.319
to come down to coaching. Jason
Kidd versus Joe Missoula. It's gonna come

385
00:30:11.359 --> 00:30:15.720
down to the stars showing up.
It is, and it's going to come

386
00:30:15.799 --> 00:30:23.440
down to who will play forty eight
minutes of basketball? Luca get ready to

387
00:30:23.440 --> 00:30:27.000
play the whole game because Dallas has
a rotation. No, I don't think

388
00:30:27.720 --> 00:30:32.720
Here's the thing. I don't think. No, I don't really don't get

389
00:30:32.720 --> 00:30:36.680
into it right now. But but
Luca doesn't need to play a whole forty

390
00:30:36.720 --> 00:30:41.519
eight minutes. Kyrie doesn't need to
play a whole forty eight minutes. This

391
00:30:41.319 --> 00:30:44.240
is this is gonna come down to. I think this is gonna come down

392
00:30:44.240 --> 00:30:48.519
to rotations if anything. But they
should be playing a lot of minutes and

393
00:30:48.559 --> 00:30:52.400
they know that. You know what
I think is interesting? I saw on

394
00:30:52.400 --> 00:30:56.559
one of the sports pages I follow, did y'all know that Kyle Kuzma had

395
00:30:56.599 --> 00:31:00.400
a chance to go to Dallas this
year? He turned and turned it down

396
00:31:00.440 --> 00:31:03.559
and said they weren't a contender.
I got some even better for you.

397
00:31:03.599 --> 00:31:06.960
And now they're in the finals,
I got some even better for you.

398
00:31:07.000 --> 00:31:11.400
Grant Williams was on both these teams, both of these teams at one point

399
00:31:11.440 --> 00:31:14.759
in time this season. So he'll
get a ring no matter who win.

400
00:31:15.759 --> 00:31:18.039
Are you sure I thought you'd get
a ring after you play so many games

401
00:31:18.039 --> 00:31:21.640
for a team. He didn't play
that many games with Dallas. He didn't

402
00:31:21.640 --> 00:31:25.799
play at least forty. I don't
think he did. Okay, so he

403
00:31:25.839 --> 00:31:30.480
will not He will watch these NBA. He's a clown. He will get

404
00:31:30.480 --> 00:31:34.400
a ring either way he participated in
any games of that season, he gets

405
00:31:34.440 --> 00:31:38.039
a ring. Not any game,
not Boston. There's a certain amount of

406
00:31:38.039 --> 00:31:42.119
games. I think play a certain
game, because who wasn't somebody who said

407
00:31:45.839 --> 00:31:48.960
somebody from the Bucks championship that did
the same thing, but they were playing

408
00:31:49.000 --> 00:32:01.160
for somebody else and got a ring. Brant Williams is eligible for a ring

409
00:32:01.359 --> 00:32:05.880
with the Celtics. Wait wait,
wait, wait wait, wait, let's

410
00:32:05.880 --> 00:32:13.799
see here. Let's see him in
case he did not play in the preseason

411
00:32:14.119 --> 00:32:19.880
or the regular season. So Boston
does not have to give him a ring,

412
00:32:21.000 --> 00:32:28.039
Boston does not if if the Mavericks
win it this year, Williams played

413
00:32:28.079 --> 00:32:35.119
forty seven games and is eligible for
a ring. He's eligible. He's eligible

414
00:32:35.279 --> 00:32:39.160
for Dallas. Boston can offer him
one, per the article, but because

415
00:32:39.200 --> 00:32:43.799
he didn't play one game, they
technically don't have to offer because he didn't

416
00:32:43.799 --> 00:32:49.000
even play preseason with Boston. When
did he? He got traded to Dallas

417
00:32:49.759 --> 00:32:53.119
before the season started, and then
they traded him to Charlotte. Yeah,

418
00:32:53.119 --> 00:32:55.680
because he got I canna say he
got into it with Luca, but he

419
00:32:55.720 --> 00:33:00.200
was He's a clown. He's a
clown. He's a Patrick Beverly want to

420
00:33:00.240 --> 00:33:06.440
be, but just not as good
on defense. Mm hmmmm. Clown.

421
00:33:07.319 --> 00:33:14.240
But so, who who's going to
be the best player going into the series?

422
00:33:14.519 --> 00:33:19.759
Luca? So was Grant Williams another
player that overvalued himself, no value.

423
00:33:19.799 --> 00:33:22.920
I don't think he I think he's
immature, he didn't think along.

424
00:33:22.920 --> 00:33:27.079
He didn't get along with the right
person. Because the only reason Boston traded

425
00:33:27.119 --> 00:33:30.720
him is because I thought it was
because the type of money he was looking

426
00:33:30.759 --> 00:33:32.200
for. So Boston was like,
we're not giving you that type of money.

427
00:33:34.359 --> 00:33:37.039
I say, he kind of was
a nuisance in the locker room,

428
00:33:37.759 --> 00:33:42.319
and then he went to Dallas.
Team was the same thing, talking trash,

429
00:33:42.519 --> 00:33:46.039
coming to the podium, talking smack
about players. He just didn't He

430
00:33:46.079 --> 00:33:52.000
had that one breakout series against who
the Bucks and then just thought he was

431
00:33:52.039 --> 00:33:54.359
God's gift. But to answer your
question, man, the most important player

432
00:33:54.440 --> 00:33:59.200
is Luca is Luca? I said, who was the best player? He's

433
00:33:59.240 --> 00:34:07.759
better than tain him, Luca.
Who's the what best player? I said

434
00:34:07.839 --> 00:34:13.960
Luca too, But you said Kyrie
Kyrie. I'm listening. Why Luca is

435
00:34:14.039 --> 00:34:17.039
hungry. I get, I get, I get he's hungry. But Kyrie

436
00:34:17.119 --> 00:34:22.559
is a whole another animal. Dude, if you look at it, dude

437
00:34:22.239 --> 00:34:27.559
is a problem and he can win
one with all Lebron. I think that's

438
00:34:27.599 --> 00:34:34.679
important for him. Kyrie is going
to come into this series and and put

439
00:34:34.679 --> 00:34:37.760
on a show because because if you
think about it, when Bron won,

440
00:34:37.880 --> 00:34:42.320
he is with him, Kyrie the
one who was hitting them big shots.

441
00:34:42.920 --> 00:34:47.079
Was Is there a chance that Brian
and Briani go to Dallas. No,

442
00:34:50.039 --> 00:34:52.599
Kyrie said that he wants to play
with Lebron again before the career is over.

443
00:34:53.079 --> 00:34:55.599
He did say that, and it's
going to happen, so what is

444
00:34:58.719 --> 00:35:04.639
so they gotta go this. They
dropped him in fifty five, So listen,

445
00:35:06.239 --> 00:35:12.360
Actually he got invited to thirteen different
teams for workouts, right, and

446
00:35:12.400 --> 00:35:15.280
who do you work out for?
He only worked out. He only worked

447
00:35:15.320 --> 00:35:19.920
out for the Lakers and the Phoenix
Suns. He people even know what he

448
00:35:20.079 --> 00:35:24.000
look like now, huh look like
clown look like, but we don't know

449
00:35:24.039 --> 00:35:30.039
what he what he does. It's
almost like they planned this this way for

450
00:35:30.079 --> 00:35:32.480
them people not to know what he
looked like. Like, why because every

451
00:35:32.719 --> 00:35:37.199
every superstar that you know of they
went to their workouts. Why don't he

452
00:35:37.239 --> 00:35:40.679
go to the workouts? Because he's
Bron's son, He's he's he's riding the

453
00:35:40.800 --> 00:35:45.679
Bron name to the bank. Come
on, let's list back it off.

454
00:35:45.800 --> 00:35:47.960
Because we talked about it last week. Listen. I hope we talked about

455
00:35:47.960 --> 00:35:51.760
it last year. I hope Brody
come in to do something he ain't because

456
00:35:51.800 --> 00:35:55.880
if he don't, he won't.
With the way they carrying about him,

457
00:35:55.920 --> 00:35:59.960
you would think Jordan or something.
They were gonna dog him out so bad,

458
00:36:01.360 --> 00:36:07.559
and I don't. It's going to
go so ham want to go som

459
00:36:08.280 --> 00:36:13.440
No, No, everybody's gonna everybody
has been keeping it light with Briani,

460
00:36:13.519 --> 00:36:15.920
and they're going to continue to keep
it light with Briannie because they know what

461
00:36:16.119 --> 00:36:20.320
happens when you go when you happen. You talk about Lebron, Ladron James

462
00:36:20.400 --> 00:36:22.760
or his family and it's fine,
I get it, but let's not act

463
00:36:22.800 --> 00:36:25.599
like we don't know what this is. But really quickly though, so I've

464
00:36:25.599 --> 00:36:31.440
seen this. I've seen it this
morning on my way here. The Boston

465
00:36:30.880 --> 00:36:37.639
and the Detroit Pistons owner or GM
has a son in college and he is

466
00:36:37.679 --> 00:36:46.159
going to he's going to the draft. This man averaged zero point seven points

467
00:36:46.159 --> 00:36:53.760
a game. Noah'sists, one point
two rebounds. He entered the draft.

468
00:36:54.920 --> 00:37:00.000
Why his father is the GM of
the Detroit Pistons is he Have you seen

469
00:37:00.039 --> 00:37:04.159
them play? Though? What you
need to see with zero points? Zero

470
00:37:04.239 --> 00:37:07.079
points? I'm just saying, have
you have you done any research to see

471
00:37:07.079 --> 00:37:09.000
why? He haven't done any research. I have never seen him play.

472
00:37:09.199 --> 00:37:13.639
He's average zero point seven. At
least Briani can get you three more than

473
00:37:13.639 --> 00:37:20.039
that. My point is this,
it's a lot of what what's what I

474
00:37:20.119 --> 00:37:23.440
say? Zero? It's a lot
of that going on around in the league,

475
00:37:23.480 --> 00:37:27.599
and I wish I was zek I
would totally try out forty and then

476
00:37:27.639 --> 00:37:30.960
this is this, yeah, I
know somebody, And then this is the

477
00:37:30.039 --> 00:37:35.199
draft because this is a really weak
draft, so this will be the time

478
00:37:35.239 --> 00:37:38.159
for if you're if you sucking,
you know somebody this is and here's why.

479
00:37:38.599 --> 00:37:42.239
Who are the Lakers that's making trade
with? They made a trade with

480
00:37:42.320 --> 00:37:45.840
New Orleans. New Orleans told the
Lakers to keep the first round pick.

481
00:37:45.679 --> 00:37:50.199
Don't let them keep it because the
draft class is so terrible. He said,

482
00:37:50.199 --> 00:37:52.039
no, you keep it because it
was a protective pick, and they

483
00:37:52.079 --> 00:37:55.719
get to choose if they wanted this
one or the next two seasons, take

484
00:37:55.719 --> 00:38:00.760
the next And my thing is this, with your first round pick, go

485
00:38:00.760 --> 00:38:05.280
ahead, drive Brownie, and then
go ahead and bite the bullet, bite

486
00:38:05.280 --> 00:38:08.360
the criticism. They have to set
that though. Yeah, the Lakers gotta

487
00:38:08.400 --> 00:38:12.559
take it. It's part of Anthony
Davis. Part of Anthony Davis tight.

488
00:38:12.639 --> 00:38:14.519
I know, but I'm saying,
like, I know, I remember the

489
00:38:14.519 --> 00:38:16.880
trade, but I'm saying, like, is it that they get two picks,

490
00:38:17.159 --> 00:38:20.360
They get to pay, they get
their first round, get their first

491
00:38:20.400 --> 00:38:22.400
round pick, and they get to
choose. So if they didn't want it

492
00:38:22.440 --> 00:38:25.199
this year, they can say nope, keep it will take the next season,

493
00:38:25.239 --> 00:38:28.800
and they already told them that they'll
keep it. Y'all can keep it,

494
00:38:29.000 --> 00:38:31.760
y'all can keep it. We'll take
twenty five because this draft is pretty

495
00:38:31.800 --> 00:38:35.800
weak. The next couple of drifts
is gonna be looking like that. But

496
00:38:35.840 --> 00:38:38.599
they have they can say it again. They can say we don't want this

497
00:38:38.639 --> 00:38:42.400
one the next week, many years, gonna keep push in the back.

498
00:38:43.000 --> 00:38:47.679
It's it's a it's an un It's
a protective first round pick that gives the

499
00:38:49.119 --> 00:38:54.440
uh New Orleans Pelicans the right to
decline or protect up until twenty twenty nine.

500
00:38:55.360 --> 00:38:59.840
That's why we always say they always
giving up everything for the future.

501
00:39:00.199 --> 00:39:02.360
Like the Bucks. We don't got
to drive pick to twenty twenty freaking nine

502
00:39:02.400 --> 00:39:07.800
a first round draft pick, but
we got dang. But anyway, back

503
00:39:07.840 --> 00:39:09.880
to the question, who's the most
important player in the final who already said

504
00:39:09.880 --> 00:39:16.960
it? Kyrie? I said Luca, He said Loka. I got Kyrie,

505
00:39:17.519 --> 00:39:24.119
No Tatum, no Jaylen Brown,
Jalen Man. He too. Wish

506
00:39:24.920 --> 00:39:30.159
fact that he won Eastern Conference m
v P. He should have. It's

507
00:39:30.159 --> 00:39:35.400
a slapping tatums he should have.
This is low key. This is no

508
00:39:35.480 --> 00:39:38.880
longer about to be Tatum's team.
Tatum is about to get that reputation of

509
00:39:39.840 --> 00:39:45.920
Camarlo, Anthony k D and those
guys who can shoot really well. And

510
00:39:45.960 --> 00:39:49.480
that's it. Oh you can shoot. Okay, they scores. They're not

511
00:39:49.519 --> 00:39:53.360
shooters, they're scores. They can
score. And that stuff gets play it

512
00:39:53.440 --> 00:39:58.639
out real quick, like five six
years all right, Okay, this is

513
00:39:58.679 --> 00:40:01.440
what you are. He wouldn't even
top five MVP voting for a reason.

514
00:40:02.000 --> 00:40:07.360
I'm gonna tell you, like this, Kyrie is going to be the factor

515
00:40:07.559 --> 00:40:09.400
of the finals. I don't know
if Kyrie is gonna be that guy.

516
00:40:10.480 --> 00:40:15.000
Dude, he's a magician when he
get the ball in the he's like the

517
00:40:15.639 --> 00:40:17.599
stuff, the stuff he does,
how he the stuff he does with the

518
00:40:17.599 --> 00:40:23.119
ball, how he makes his layup, his handle. I get what you're

519
00:40:23.159 --> 00:40:29.079
saying. I agree with you,
but I think the maturity of Irving the

520
00:40:29.480 --> 00:40:32.559
best part of it about Irving.
His maturity in those games when he was

521
00:40:32.599 --> 00:40:36.880
in Cleveland, he was making those
big shots and stuff like that. He

522
00:40:37.079 --> 00:40:38.880
thought in his head, I'm better
than Lebron, so I can make this

523
00:40:38.960 --> 00:40:43.840
shot. Yeah, ky The new
Kyrie is like, you know what,

524
00:40:44.000 --> 00:40:45.880
this is Luca's team. I'm just
here to help him along the way.

525
00:40:46.159 --> 00:40:52.280
So if it comes down to it
and he he's guarded, Like when I

526
00:40:52.280 --> 00:40:54.519
think it was a buzzer beat.
Everybody was talking about that Kyrie made against

527
00:40:54.559 --> 00:40:59.960
Denver during the season. Kyrie would
go get that ball, but because Luke

528
00:41:00.039 --> 00:41:02.119
it was covered and he made that
shot with his left hands. So on

529
00:41:02.239 --> 00:41:05.639
and so forth. But that's what
I'm saying, like, and that's what

530
00:41:05.679 --> 00:41:08.800
a good Robin does. But that
don't get it twisted. That's still Lucas

531
00:41:08.800 --> 00:41:12.679
team. It doesn't steel back.
It's still going to take the fact away

532
00:41:12.719 --> 00:41:19.719
that Kyrie could be better. To
me. I mean, at the end

533
00:41:19.760 --> 00:41:24.400
of the day, Miami was Wade
team, but Lebron was the king,

534
00:41:25.119 --> 00:41:34.800
was the batman. Different than it
was Kobe's Kobe's team, it was Shacks

535
00:41:34.840 --> 00:41:37.639
team. It was Shack. It
was Shacks team. It was Kobe's team,

536
00:41:38.159 --> 00:41:42.440
but Shaq was the better person at
the time. It was it was

537
00:41:42.440 --> 00:41:45.199
Shacks. It was Kobe team.
Because who got traded and why did he

538
00:41:45.239 --> 00:41:52.159
get traded? Because Kobe didn't want
him, didn't want them, because everybody

539
00:41:52.239 --> 00:41:54.519
was saying the same thing because it
was because it was Kobe's team. This

540
00:41:55.360 --> 00:42:01.840
is my team. That's what players
do who team it is the Alladay.

541
00:42:02.280 --> 00:42:07.039
No, they get old. They
running by him. Hey, he's want

542
00:42:07.079 --> 00:42:10.280
to run. His value is what
we do. Listen, come on,

543
00:42:10.760 --> 00:42:15.000
we have we have to there and
has a little Lebron in them. This

544
00:42:15.119 --> 00:42:19.360
is the fourth coach you got?
You got three coaches fire man, Come

545
00:42:19.440 --> 00:42:23.239
on, man, he got three
coaches fired. He got his brother a

546
00:42:23.280 --> 00:42:28.159
spot on the team. His bumps
brother in the words that he got his

547
00:42:28.159 --> 00:42:30.559
brother on the team. Don't say
he fired, he got you. He

548
00:42:30.719 --> 00:42:37.840
coaches fired and fired. Those coaches
got fired for legitimate reasons. Lebron coaches

549
00:42:37.840 --> 00:42:40.400
get fired after a winning season.
You gotta winning season, you get fired.

550
00:42:42.159 --> 00:42:46.400
That you a fool if you think
that both coaches on the payroll.

551
00:42:46.519 --> 00:42:52.800
Thanks Giannis. Anyways, So I
actually was the best player in going into

552
00:42:52.800 --> 00:42:55.840
the series. Who's the most impactful
player in going to the series? Two

553
00:42:55.840 --> 00:43:00.679
different things. Now, impactful player, I'm gonna give you Kyrie and I'm

554
00:43:00.679 --> 00:43:06.199
gonna give you Drew Holiday, one
for each team because they've won titles.

555
00:43:06.639 --> 00:43:10.800
Drew Holiday defensively, there is no
better player on the court defensively in these

556
00:43:10.800 --> 00:43:15.559
finals than Drew Holliday. Do you
think you can held Krie? I do

557
00:43:15.599 --> 00:43:20.760
I do listen. Just because you
get a bucket or two on them and

558
00:43:20.800 --> 00:43:24.360
there's a height advantage doesn't mean listen. We saw Holiday do it with Booker.

559
00:43:25.239 --> 00:43:30.079
We saw him do it just last
round with whomever from Indiana say that

560
00:43:30.159 --> 00:43:34.639
say that part, okay, we
saw him do it with a lot of

561
00:43:34.719 --> 00:43:37.719
star studied players. He's gonna be
holding to Luca, and Luca's gonna give

562
00:43:37.760 --> 00:43:42.840
him some Luca is going to give
him problems, but Kyrie, but Holiday

563
00:43:43.119 --> 00:43:46.800
will hold his own. I think
defensively, Holiday is the most important I'll

564
00:43:46.800 --> 00:43:50.960
say that for Boston, but I
think Kyrie is going to be the most

565
00:43:51.000 --> 00:43:53.880
important player because here's the thing.
People think they got the playbook figured out.

566
00:43:54.480 --> 00:43:57.840
Just pass it to Luca, like
the episode of Fresh Prince. Just

567
00:43:57.880 --> 00:44:00.880
pass it to Will. Just pass
it to Will, pass it to Luca.

568
00:44:01.119 --> 00:44:05.599
I think people are going to think
that Kyrie is gonna I think Kyrie's

569
00:44:05.639 --> 00:44:08.679
gonna be left open more than he
normally would. I don't think they'll play

570
00:44:08.679 --> 00:44:13.480
a lot of one on one against
Kyrie. And I think if you leave

571
00:44:13.559 --> 00:44:15.639
Kyrie open, don't get it twisted. He's not the greatest shooter, but

572
00:44:15.760 --> 00:44:20.519
Kyrie can be a bucket If he
needs to be. So I'm gonna say

573
00:44:20.559 --> 00:44:25.119
Kyrie is probably gonna be the most
impactful player because Kyrie also has. What

574
00:44:25.159 --> 00:44:30.039
I can appreciate about Kyrie is his
maturity in the game. He is becoming

575
00:44:30.079 --> 00:44:35.719
more mature in the game, and
the way I've seen Kyrie play this season

576
00:44:35.800 --> 00:44:42.800
has been very calmon and I think
he'll bring that common championship approach to the

577
00:44:42.840 --> 00:44:46.360
game. And it starts in Boston, right because Boston what their number one

578
00:44:46.559 --> 00:44:50.800
and whatever in Boston, two in
Dallas and then goes back and forth.

579
00:44:51.079 --> 00:44:55.800
Yep, two to one one two
two two one one one. Kyrie is

580
00:44:55.840 --> 00:45:00.000
the best player going in and Luca
is going to be the most impactful to

581
00:45:00.119 --> 00:45:09.719
me because Luca can establish himself as
a face now off of this, Kyrie

582
00:45:09.800 --> 00:45:14.400
has been there and done it,
so we know he's better because he's been

583
00:45:14.440 --> 00:45:16.559
there and he's hit shots in the
finals. Luca's never been to the finals,

584
00:45:16.559 --> 00:45:20.480
never hit one shot in the finals. Yet he gotta go to the

585
00:45:20.519 --> 00:45:23.920
finals and prove himself. Kyrie has
proven he can hit shots in the finals

586
00:45:24.079 --> 00:45:29.679
and hit big shots in the finals
and get a ring off the finals,

587
00:45:29.760 --> 00:45:32.440
and would have had more if him
and Kevin Love didn't get hurt that year

588
00:45:32.480 --> 00:45:35.920
against Golden State. Said what I
say, So you know what I'm saying.

589
00:45:35.960 --> 00:45:40.840
So Luca has will have the most
impact. Kyrie is the best player

590
00:45:40.920 --> 00:45:53.679
going into this finals. I have
PJ, PJ Washington, Kyrie, PJ,

591
00:45:59.679 --> 00:46:02.519
Luca gonna get You're gonna Kyrie gonna
get his, Lucas gonna get his.

592
00:46:02.760 --> 00:46:06.000
You just said that, you said
they gonna get there, and you

593
00:46:06.039 --> 00:46:09.199
said Jaylen Brown, Jalen Brown and
Jason Tatum crossed them out. So who's

594
00:46:09.199 --> 00:46:12.840
gonna be the other guy that's gonna
step up? It has to be PJ

595
00:46:13.039 --> 00:46:17.599
Washington because PJ Washington was the guy
who was the X factor against uh the

596
00:46:17.599 --> 00:46:24.039
Clippers, and he's the X factor
somewhat against Minnesota because when when those guys

597
00:46:24.039 --> 00:46:28.280
were off, they were getting the
bucket the ball to TJ. Washington.

598
00:46:28.480 --> 00:46:30.159
But he's gonna be that, He's
gonna be the most pacful, He's gonna

599
00:46:30.159 --> 00:46:35.400
be the x facts. Okay,
then if we go on to that,

600
00:46:35.519 --> 00:46:39.039
then PJ and Derek White gonna have
to be the most fact impactful players.

601
00:46:40.719 --> 00:46:45.440
Yeah, I agree. I can
agree with that. Derek, whoever,

602
00:46:45.480 --> 00:46:49.559
whoever has a better series between them
two is going to be basically the champs.

603
00:46:49.719 --> 00:46:52.320
I can get. I can agree
with that. I can agree because

604
00:46:52.320 --> 00:46:57.840
if if, if, what what's
it? Calling? Has? They?

605
00:46:59.239 --> 00:47:02.199
They got drewd p his ingis.
But I feel like this and I was.

606
00:47:02.519 --> 00:47:06.320
The more I watched the Boston series, the more it kind of came

607
00:47:06.400 --> 00:47:08.719
to me as far as going back
to the Bucks. When we were we

608
00:47:08.719 --> 00:47:15.360
were asking for Drew to do a
lot with very little. When he when

609
00:47:15.400 --> 00:47:22.039
when uh when when Giannice went down
and Middleton went down, he was like,

610
00:47:22.119 --> 00:47:27.519
Drew, you up next. Drew's
not scoring thirty, we know that

611
00:47:28.599 --> 00:47:37.639
he can win. He who Holiday? They ain't even scoring fifteen? You

612
00:47:37.679 --> 00:47:42.519
know what it is though? Shooting
and shooting is streaky. That's the problem

613
00:47:42.599 --> 00:47:45.400
with Drew, That's what I'm saying. But my point is that once you

614
00:47:45.760 --> 00:47:50.239
if you, if you take him, let's say, let's say he has

615
00:47:50.280 --> 00:47:52.400
a bad defense. Just what I
say about Drew. He keeps playing.

616
00:47:52.679 --> 00:47:55.679
So if he's having a bad shooting
game, he's just gonna make it up

617
00:47:55.679 --> 00:47:59.199
on the defensive end. That's what
we liked about Drew, and I think

618
00:47:59.239 --> 00:48:01.800
Boston likes that at Drew too.
But don't get when when he comes to

619
00:48:01.800 --> 00:48:07.559
Boston he's the fourth option. So
listen, don't tell me you running with

620
00:48:07.599 --> 00:48:12.559
that narrative about the Bucks and Drew. That what that we miss Drew and

621
00:48:12.599 --> 00:48:15.840
we need him. Yeah, I
am a defense win championship. Do you

622
00:48:15.880 --> 00:48:21.679
think, okay, take take take
Dame out of that, do you think

623
00:48:21.800 --> 00:48:27.159
the Luxure still would have won,
would have lost to Indiana exactly? So

624
00:48:30.119 --> 00:48:34.119
Drew was a problem for us too, because because if it's streaking, it's

625
00:48:34.159 --> 00:48:37.239
streakly shooting. But this is and
that. But you hear what I said

626
00:48:37.280 --> 00:48:43.199
about is being hurt and Middleton be
hurt. If Middleton, let's just say,

627
00:48:43.239 --> 00:48:46.880
for our argument sake Middleton and let's
say let's say let's say Giannis is

628
00:48:46.880 --> 00:48:53.079
out and Middleton is hitting. I'm
confident in Middleton and Drew. Combo.

629
00:48:53.280 --> 00:48:59.679
Combo, I'm confident that that could
be Indiana because Drew's gonna lock up somebody.

630
00:49:00.039 --> 00:49:01.119
He may not get it done on
the offensive end, but he's gonna

631
00:49:01.119 --> 00:49:06.000
lock up somebody like holly Bert,
all that, all that bs he was

632
00:49:06.039 --> 00:49:09.199
doing lock up. I doubt it
because he did the same thing against them,

633
00:49:09.559 --> 00:49:14.079
he did against thing against who Boston
the first two games he played.

634
00:49:15.000 --> 00:49:17.039
So that doesn't that don't change anything, and he was doing that on Derek

635
00:49:17.079 --> 00:49:23.760
White Andrew. So at the end
of the day, Drew leaving us was

636
00:49:23.800 --> 00:49:30.079
on a plus or minus. We
was kind of neutral one. But he

637
00:49:30.239 --> 00:49:34.199
just it just it just so happened. He he got on the team that

638
00:49:34.280 --> 00:49:37.840
had the right path that he helped
get there. I think either way go,

639
00:49:38.760 --> 00:49:44.960
Boston's in the finals right now,
Drew there or not Boston is in

640
00:49:45.000 --> 00:49:49.400
the finals? Do you think hands
down, I think it's a tougher role.

641
00:49:49.440 --> 00:49:52.239
But yes, I do agree it's
a tougher role. But I agree

642
00:49:52.280 --> 00:49:57.519
because Derek White is there, is
there acts factor after Brown and Tatum to

643
00:49:57.559 --> 00:50:00.239
me lose him in the offseason because
they can afford to pay off four all

644
00:50:00.360 --> 00:50:05.400
right, Tatum, Tatum wants a
big contract. They already gave Holiday a

645
00:50:05.559 --> 00:50:10.320
major contract, all right. Jaylen
Brown is breaking the banks. Is breaking

646
00:50:10.360 --> 00:50:15.599
the bank. I mean, ain't
got enough for White. They don't have

647
00:50:15.719 --> 00:50:21.719
enough White unless he takes a big
discount. And let's be honest, the

648
00:50:21.760 --> 00:50:27.000
White right now is coming off like
James Harden did. Like when James Harden

649
00:50:27.119 --> 00:50:30.440
was a sixth man over in OKC
and showed everybody that he needs to be

650
00:50:30.519 --> 00:50:35.159
running a team and a starter of
a team. Derek White is on his

651
00:50:35.199 --> 00:50:38.480
way to becoming a superstar. But
just a little bit off topic, y'all,

652
00:50:38.559 --> 00:50:42.880
bro, you gotta you acting like
Derek White is not on the NBA

653
00:50:43.039 --> 00:50:45.519
All First Defensive Team. A little
bit of off topic though. I watched

654
00:50:45.519 --> 00:50:52.280
the Big Three draft. They got
a draft. Yeah, it was so

655
00:50:52.559 --> 00:51:00.119
off ice Cube teams. Yeah,
they they commentary with off they on CBS

656
00:51:00.199 --> 00:51:07.679
this year. Yeah they they went
to Chicago, but they ain't doing the

657
00:51:07.760 --> 00:51:14.079
tour in Chicago this year. It
was it was it almost seems I don't

658
00:51:14.079 --> 00:51:20.719
even want to say the word ghetto. Yeah, I c cop then they

659
00:51:21.320 --> 00:51:23.800
it was almost like the commentary was
like they didn't even know how the show

660
00:51:23.840 --> 00:51:27.000
was even gonna go, Like they
didn't even plan it out all, but

661
00:51:27.599 --> 00:51:30.840
like they didn't get a script for
it for the show. It was like

662
00:51:30.880 --> 00:51:35.679
they almost like freelance it, like
us, Wow, you watched it.

663
00:51:36.639 --> 00:51:38.239
I can't believe I watched it because
I wanted to see how they draft went

664
00:51:39.239 --> 00:51:45.360
draft. I think they just signed
people. I ain't so the only team

665
00:51:45.360 --> 00:51:52.159
that said is that just run with
it. Look you know what it is

666
00:51:52.199 --> 00:51:55.679
though? What so with Big Three, the only team that has to run

667
00:51:55.719 --> 00:51:59.000
it back with the same team as
the team who wins the whole thing.

668
00:52:00.119 --> 00:52:04.960
Other team you can either you can
sue the n B A and one.

669
00:52:05.639 --> 00:52:10.280
You can drop two players, or
you and pick up two players, or

670
00:52:10.280 --> 00:52:14.199
you can drop one player and pick
up one player. That's how they draft

671
00:52:14.199 --> 00:52:17.079
work. So like say, like
they got four six people on the team,

672
00:52:17.079 --> 00:52:21.559
they can drop two of those and
then pick up two in the draft.

673
00:52:21.760 --> 00:52:24.320
I know we're talking about that.
The only reason I watched it,

674
00:52:24.519 --> 00:52:30.079
and what made me really watch it
was Larry Sanders. He playing in the

675
00:52:30.079 --> 00:52:35.599
Big Three. He played last season
too. He's a ren protector, that's

676
00:52:35.599 --> 00:52:37.440
it. And I've seen him fow
somebody real hard. So that's what made

677
00:52:37.440 --> 00:52:42.039
me watch it. So I watched
that referees or they call their own call

678
00:52:42.800 --> 00:52:46.800
horse. So I watched that clip
of him put I watched the clip of

679
00:52:46.880 --> 00:52:50.960
him pushing somebody out the air,
right, And that's how I got to

680
00:52:51.000 --> 00:52:55.440
the draft. So you watched it
because you love violence. No, I

681
00:52:55.519 --> 00:53:00.920
wanted to know why. I didn't
understand why. I couldn't figure out why

682
00:53:00.920 --> 00:53:04.000
you push dude out? They are
like that. I just know that Number

683
00:53:04.039 --> 00:53:06.880
one. They used to do like
a tour they still doing a tour,

684
00:53:07.000 --> 00:53:09.719
but their goal is to have a
league where they travel to each city that

685
00:53:09.760 --> 00:53:13.039
they have a team in, which
is very injurying. I didn't know they

686
00:53:13.039 --> 00:53:16.079
sue the NBA either. Yeah,
they sue them because NBA tried to kind

687
00:53:16.079 --> 00:53:22.360
of muscle them out of some some
advertising. But uh, like they would

688
00:53:22.400 --> 00:53:27.400
cut off retired players from going there. Yep, like you know how they

689
00:53:27.440 --> 00:53:30.119
play like you you don't get you
don't get your pension if you go play

690
00:53:30.159 --> 00:53:34.679
basketball, if you go play the
Big Three specifically, they they're not.

691
00:53:34.920 --> 00:53:37.840
They didn't letting that ride. So
I was like, huh so, no,

692
00:53:37.039 --> 00:53:40.679
players that retire can't go play the
Big now they disagree with they actually

693
00:53:40.679 --> 00:53:45.800
Big Three won? Yeah. Uh
well, this NBA Finals determined who's the

694
00:53:45.840 --> 00:53:54.719
new face of the NBA. No, No, the the stars were hurt.

695
00:53:55.400 --> 00:53:59.119
Nothing else left to be said.
You mean to tell me real quick?

696
00:53:59.199 --> 00:54:00.920
You mean to tell me if let's
say to Boston. So just winning

697
00:54:00.960 --> 00:54:06.440
the NBA Finals, Jason Tatum is
not the new face in the NBA as

698
00:54:06.480 --> 00:54:14.800
long as Lebron Giannis and Steph are
playing in this game, they're not even

699
00:54:16.000 --> 00:54:20.960
No, I'm gonna stick with my
note. Luca maybe because Luca was a

700
00:54:21.000 --> 00:54:24.599
finalist for MVP Top three. Luca
has the best, say Jayalen Brown.

701
00:54:25.480 --> 00:54:29.199
I don't think it makes him the
face. I think it makes him finally

702
00:54:29.239 --> 00:54:31.559
earn that big old paycheck he's getting. I don't think nobody who's going to

703
00:54:31.559 --> 00:54:35.639
the finals can be the face of
the league Luca. They can be highly

704
00:54:35.679 --> 00:54:38.760
advertised, but to be the face. I don't see that type of generational

705
00:54:38.800 --> 00:54:43.440
talent out of anybody going to the
finals. Luca, Luca, Lucas decent.

706
00:54:43.519 --> 00:54:45.719
I ain't gonna lie Lucas good,
but he's European at the end of

707
00:54:45.760 --> 00:54:49.400
the day. That means why he's
gonna be the face. So is Joker,

708
00:54:50.159 --> 00:54:54.559
so is Gianni's. But they're not
the face of the league right now.

709
00:54:54.800 --> 00:54:58.480
Yes, it's still in the hands
of Bron and currying them. I

710
00:54:58.679 --> 00:55:02.679
agree it has Jokers. The baton
has not been passed. If you look

711
00:55:02.760 --> 00:55:07.760
think about it, like we knew
one the baton was pasted to Kobe.

712
00:55:08.039 --> 00:55:12.800
We knew when the baton was past
Lebron. We knew when the baton was

713
00:55:12.840 --> 00:55:16.559
pastor Jordans. We knew that you
know you. We don't know that though,

714
00:55:19.719 --> 00:55:24.920
So people are saying that Joker.
First of all, just okay,

715
00:55:24.920 --> 00:55:28.960
I answer your question. I ask
the question, are you when I say,

716
00:55:29.199 --> 00:55:32.639
because we had this discussion before,
about the long discussion, long discussion,

717
00:55:32.840 --> 00:55:38.239
and why not you need to tell
me who is to you? Who

718
00:55:38.320 --> 00:55:43.559
is the face of the league right
now? Lebron James, Lebron James,

719
00:55:45.400 --> 00:55:49.280
one, don't tap dance out of
it. Who's the face of the league

720
00:55:49.320 --> 00:55:54.440
right now? Lebron? Still all
right? Cool? Joker? Mm hmm

721
00:55:55.199 --> 00:56:01.559
the face? Yes, no,
he's not the face ship. But remember

722
00:56:01.599 --> 00:56:05.599
what I said, and I'm on, hold on, I'm only picking up

723
00:56:05.599 --> 00:56:08.360
one because you said so. But
remember I told you there are faces of

724
00:56:08.400 --> 00:56:13.639
the league. It's not just one
thing is like is Lebron, Staff is

725
00:56:13.760 --> 00:56:17.880
Joker? Is Yiannis? So my
thing is Luca? Who what makes you

726
00:56:17.920 --> 00:56:22.599
the face? Like? What what
are the qualifications that make you the face

727
00:56:22.960 --> 00:56:27.960
TV time? You mean selling tickets? We've already went through. Let's not

728
00:56:28.039 --> 00:56:30.519
do this again, bro, I
think we have to do it again.

729
00:56:30.639 --> 00:56:34.639
I think that you we never went
over what the what the qualification? Because

730
00:56:34.639 --> 00:56:37.320
we all had three very different different
things to say, and y'all were jumping

731
00:56:37.320 --> 00:56:42.719
down my throat talking about it ain't
just about economics. I said, it's

732
00:56:42.719 --> 00:56:49.719
absolutely about economics. Economics is on
there. I will put equal equal economics,

733
00:56:49.719 --> 00:56:54.320
economics is on there, economic impact
is I will give you that.

734
00:56:54.519 --> 00:57:00.079
But my thing about that is this, you can't be those Winning is a

735
00:57:00.079 --> 00:57:04.800
big part of it because if you're
not winning, how can you be the

736
00:57:04.840 --> 00:57:07.599
face? Because if that's the case, LaMelo Ball is the face. Because

737
00:57:07.840 --> 00:57:14.079
these young kids are teen and between
teen and fifteen, sixteen years old,

738
00:57:14.400 --> 00:57:16.360
LaMelo LaMelo is the best player.
You've seen him with that behind the back

739
00:57:21.039 --> 00:57:23.239
popular Okay, I get that,
But at the end of the day,

740
00:57:23.519 --> 00:57:30.360
when it bails down to it.
From age five to fifty, you know

741
00:57:30.400 --> 00:57:35.360
who Lebron James is, you know
who Steph Curry is, you know who

742
00:57:35.920 --> 00:57:37.960
is you know who Luke is,
you might know who Joker is, and

743
00:57:38.000 --> 00:57:44.039
you might know who you might might
cac Every time when you're in that five

744
00:57:44.119 --> 00:57:46.639
to hold on in the five to
ten, in that age of five to

745
00:57:46.719 --> 00:57:52.360
twelve, they don't look at Luca
and Joker them like you think they do.

746
00:57:52.480 --> 00:57:55.360
People look at people. I'm telling
you, and I went to my

747
00:57:55.639 --> 00:58:00.119
just and what made me realize is
I went to my kids presentation. M

748
00:58:00.159 --> 00:58:04.480
hmm, and all of the boys
in his closet, the presentation on athletes,

749
00:58:04.559 --> 00:58:13.920
right of course, and either they
picked Kobe or Lebron. My son

750
00:58:14.000 --> 00:58:22.239
picked Lebron, not Brook. I'm
surprised, listen. I didn't help him

751
00:58:22.239 --> 00:58:25.599
with that at all. Lebron he
did all of that on his own.

752
00:58:25.639 --> 00:58:29.880
I didn't even know who his person
was. I've heard him talk about it

753
00:58:29.920 --> 00:58:32.199
every now and again, but I
never really grasp that that's who he was

754
00:58:32.239 --> 00:58:37.159
doing his whole presentation on Preston.
You get to go to the Lebron game

755
00:58:37.239 --> 00:58:39.480
with me next year when he comes, so you can have daddy's ticket.

756
00:58:40.000 --> 00:58:45.280
That's fine. I'm sorry you have
ticket because he's grounded until he comes to

757
00:58:45.280 --> 00:58:51.960
an average. But that just goes
to show me that Lebron is still the

758
00:58:52.000 --> 00:58:55.199
face because Kobe is not here too. Is that popularity? Like said,

759
00:58:58.920 --> 00:59:02.360
but he has the biggest economic impact. So all the faces of the n

760
00:59:02.400 --> 00:59:09.639
B A I don't need to I
don't need you, but hold but even

761
00:59:09.679 --> 00:59:15.679
going to our even going to the
fact that thinking about us a basketball who

762
00:59:15.679 --> 00:59:20.480
are they going to talk about the
most Steph Curry and Lebron When you go

763
00:59:20.519 --> 00:59:23.639
to Jersey sales, who has the
most sales Lebron and Curry. When you

764
00:59:23.679 --> 00:59:27.960
go to shoe sales right now,
outside of Jordan's, we're not gonna say

765
00:59:28.039 --> 00:59:31.039
Jordan's because that's different. I got
pass for the USA game and I only

766
00:59:31.039 --> 00:59:35.880
want to see and that's a whole
that's a whole new era in itself,

767
00:59:35.960 --> 00:59:42.599
the Jordan's. But outside of outside
of Lamellos, the Brons and Curry sell

768
00:59:42.639 --> 00:59:47.119
outs to well, there's a lot
of there's a lot of different criterias and

769
00:59:46.239 --> 00:59:52.800
wet but we have to acknowledge that
Luca is a face of this sport.

770
00:59:52.159 --> 00:59:58.199
And if he wins, lucas getting
all the covers. He's getting the video

771
00:59:58.320 --> 01:00:02.000
game cover, He's getting the Sports
Illustrated cover, and you better make sure

772
01:00:02.159 --> 01:00:07.400
bet your list dollar that they will
find a way to get Luca that MVP

773
01:00:07.639 --> 01:00:09.639
next season. Let him win it
this year. Let him win it this

774
01:00:09.719 --> 01:00:15.880
year. They're already they already got
a Christmas game coming, They already got

775
01:00:15.920 --> 01:00:20.360
a Christmas Day game coming, right
because they won the Western Conference, right,

776
01:00:21.960 --> 01:00:25.199
Luca is already one of the leading
vote getters in the All Star Game.

777
01:00:27.480 --> 01:00:30.360
He has more prime time games than
any other European player out there,

778
01:00:30.360 --> 01:00:37.559
including Luca. Okay, so if
anybody has a chance to be the face

779
01:00:37.679 --> 01:00:39.880
after this. If Boston wins,
I don't think they're a face. You

780
01:00:39.920 --> 01:00:49.039
know why, why Because they're boring. What they're boring to watch compared to

781
01:00:49.159 --> 01:00:54.519
Luca and Dallas. Lucas a cry
baby, but Boston is boring to watch.

782
01:00:54.920 --> 01:00:58.360
Boston is born to because they ain't
playing about this playoffs. I'm not

783
01:00:58.360 --> 01:01:00.599
gonna hold you they didn't play.
Anybody play If you want somebody to pay

784
01:01:00.599 --> 01:01:04.920
attention. If they lost, if
they went to Game seven with Cleveland,

785
01:01:04.920 --> 01:01:07.320
we all be watching. If they
went the game six with Indiana, and

786
01:01:07.360 --> 01:01:12.280
we all be watching. But because
they boring, because they blew them out.

787
01:01:12.559 --> 01:01:14.760
I don't want to say boring.
I think it is a little extreme

788
01:01:15.159 --> 01:01:20.000
as far as the face goes very
interesting. I just feel like I feel

789
01:01:20.039 --> 01:01:22.960
like Luca. I feel like Luca
will be the face. And I feel

790
01:01:22.960 --> 01:01:25.880
like if Boston wins, it depends
on how they win. If Jason Tatum,

791
01:01:27.440 --> 01:01:31.079
if he takes if he takes a
strive where he undeniably is the best

792
01:01:31.079 --> 01:01:34.960
player on the court, I think
you're gonna see something there. I think

793
01:01:35.000 --> 01:01:37.800
you're gonna see the NBA really pushing
for him to be the next guy up.

794
01:01:37.599 --> 01:01:39.840
I mean he can be. But
at the end of the day,

795
01:01:40.519 --> 01:01:46.599
right now, until Bron and Steph
retired, they're the faces the face.

796
01:01:46.719 --> 01:01:50.079
But here's the thing about that.
Here's the thing about them being the face.

797
01:01:50.599 --> 01:01:52.800
I will agree with you that they
are the most popular. And if

798
01:01:52.800 --> 01:01:57.159
you ask somebody who, if you
ask a woman, hey, do you

799
01:01:57.239 --> 01:02:00.239
know who Lebron? They know who
Lebron James is. They know who Steph

800
01:02:00.280 --> 01:02:06.639
Curry is. If they in Milwaukee, they know who Giannis is the most

801
01:02:06.719 --> 01:02:08.679
like we're in Milwaukee. If you
go to cala, if you go to

802
01:02:08.760 --> 01:02:13.199
California, you be like, yeah, I know Jannis. I want him

803
01:02:13.199 --> 01:02:15.079
in LA. What do you smoke
it? They want him in LA.

804
01:02:15.639 --> 01:02:20.840
In New York, these are from
basketball perspectives. They don't act like they

805
01:02:20.840 --> 01:02:22.920
want him in Both of those act
like I can't go to New York and

806
01:02:22.960 --> 01:02:27.079
find ten people who'll be like,
yeah, I'll pick Mellow over Bro.

807
01:02:27.880 --> 01:02:32.079
No, he gets more chairs than
the next I'll the fans be waiting for

808
01:02:32.159 --> 01:02:36.519
the game to be over to shower
Jannis, what are you talking about?

809
01:02:36.599 --> 01:02:43.920
What I'm saying is this, And
then Janis is Flowers. You don't want

810
01:02:43.920 --> 01:02:46.320
to try to kick his brother off
the team and piss him off. But

811
01:02:46.400 --> 01:02:51.800
you want to give his flyer's business, that's business, defan of me.

812
01:02:51.880 --> 01:02:55.280
You can get your flowers with popularity. What you take Janni's on your knicks?

813
01:02:57.000 --> 01:03:01.559
Chrassey would Okay, okay, we're
talking about faces of the league.

814
01:03:02.440 --> 01:03:08.559
One and top the top five selling
jerseys. Jason Tatum, well number one

815
01:03:08.599 --> 01:03:13.760
of Steph. After that it's Jason
Tatum, then after that is Lebron James

816
01:03:14.559 --> 01:03:20.559
and then it's Victor Those were the
top selling jerseys. But that's crazy though,

817
01:03:20.559 --> 01:03:27.079
a year twenty twenty two and what
you're someone that brought it up.

818
01:03:29.840 --> 01:03:36.800
This is my fault, my fault. You know what that brought this Your

819
01:03:37.280 --> 01:03:39.920
even brought his family here. They're
talking about my son didn't report. Yeah,

820
01:03:39.960 --> 01:03:45.519
I didn't even break his bloodline.
It bro what it was about raising

821
01:03:45.559 --> 01:03:49.119
him wrong. It was an honest
truth talking about facing the league though.

822
01:03:49.400 --> 01:03:52.679
We whether you want to admit it
or not, he's the face I just

823
01:03:53.280 --> 01:04:00.480
so the top selling jerseys this year, which also makes you the face that's

824
01:04:00.480 --> 01:04:02.280
a part of it. Don't act
like that's the face. You just popular.

825
01:04:05.599 --> 01:04:12.039
You just popular. So I forget
eat the top five you ready Steph

826
01:04:12.079 --> 01:04:18.039
Curry number one, Lebron number two, Tatum number three, Victor number four,

827
01:04:18.960 --> 01:04:23.639
Johannis number five, and number six. We'll just stop at six.

828
01:04:24.760 --> 01:04:31.440
Is Luca okay? So all of
those in their own rights. Joker is

829
01:04:31.599 --> 01:04:36.920
thirteen, so fine, I'll go
through them seven through eleven, Booker eight,

830
01:04:38.280 --> 01:04:44.360
Kevin Durant nine, Dame Lillard ten, Tyrese, Maxey eleven, Moran

831
01:04:45.719 --> 01:04:50.880
eleven, Moran, dude, the
YNG kids love Maxi twelve, Embid thirteen,

832
01:04:51.119 --> 01:04:56.559
Joker fourteen, LaMelo fifteen. Brunt
said, but here's what's interesting,

833
01:04:56.599 --> 01:05:00.360
though, if you go down to
the top selling team, Oh, of

834
01:05:00.400 --> 01:05:04.599
course it's gonna be Lakers number one. The Lakers. Number two is Boston.

835
01:05:05.639 --> 01:05:11.639
Number three is Golden State. Number
four is the Milwaukee Bucks. Yeah,

836
01:05:11.639 --> 01:05:15.000
we support our teams, but we
don't. We were hats and you

837
01:05:15.079 --> 01:05:18.480
yeah, so you got a Chicken. I even realized you you had a

838
01:05:18.559 --> 01:05:21.960
Chicago White Sox. They played this
weekend too, when the Brewers won three

839
01:05:23.000 --> 01:05:29.280
games to the don't do that.
My point is not a Yankee, so

840
01:05:29.400 --> 01:05:33.960
you can't say it. Go with
the fit. Oh yeah, it's not

841
01:05:34.000 --> 01:05:36.519
a Dodgers. You could you could
maybe even do a dog you heard,

842
01:05:36.519 --> 01:05:40.800
you heard what you heard what Jay
said, you heard what Jiga said.

843
01:05:42.760 --> 01:05:46.519
Jordan's black hat, black shirt,
black What are you talking about? Tom

844
01:05:50.320 --> 01:05:57.599
O l A. Compton? Oh
and you have brow Ice Gill, but

845
01:05:57.639 --> 01:06:00.599
we played. If you're gonna go
that round Toime, I put on some

846
01:06:00.679 --> 01:06:02.559
chucks too. You should have.
You should have, and you might as

847
01:06:02.599 --> 01:06:12.920
well two step with it, not
like work off topic. Hear. My

848
01:06:13.000 --> 01:06:15.920
thing is we didn't talk about the
face. We did talking about it.

849
01:06:15.920 --> 01:06:21.119
We did talk about numerous of ways
you can say the face. Lebron James

850
01:06:21.159 --> 01:06:25.760
be in the face. I don't
know if he's the face anymore. Honestly,

851
01:06:25.800 --> 01:06:28.880
feel like he's just the most popular
person in the league, and you

852
01:06:28.960 --> 01:06:30.800
had to be. You gotta be
deaf, blind and almost stupid to not

853
01:06:30.880 --> 01:06:35.480
know who Lebron James is. He's
been doing it for twenty years now.

854
01:06:36.119 --> 01:06:42.480
Steph Curry, Lebron James, KB, They're part of a class that is

855
01:06:42.559 --> 01:06:45.760
slowly but surely fade in a way. I agree. So you can't,

856
01:06:45.840 --> 01:06:48.440
you can't. I don't want want
to say you can't. Even That's why

857
01:06:48.480 --> 01:06:50.880
when they come out with it,
they come out with two lists every year.

858
01:06:53.039 --> 01:06:57.119
The number one ranked player or the
top ten or top twenty five,

859
01:06:57.960 --> 01:07:00.639
top fifty. They come up with
rankings every year and then it comes with

860
01:07:00.679 --> 01:07:03.360
the under twenty five, top twenty
five, under twenty five. Number one

861
01:07:03.440 --> 01:07:06.519
for the last consecutive maybe like two
three years, maybe even four years,

862
01:07:06.519 --> 01:07:10.559
long as he's been in the league. Actually honestly has been Luca. There's

863
01:07:10.599 --> 01:07:13.320
been number one been Luca. Number
two is either Ben Tatum. If the

864
01:07:13.320 --> 01:07:15.840
Tatum's not number two, he's been
number three, he's been number He's in

865
01:07:15.880 --> 01:07:17.960
that top five. So we're talking
about two guys who are in the top

866
01:07:18.039 --> 01:07:23.159
five under twenty five, and then
we're also talking about two guys who are

867
01:07:23.199 --> 01:07:28.039
also in the rankings of top ten
of being the best players in the league.

868
01:07:28.840 --> 01:07:31.239
So that's why I brought this topic
up. But I just for you

869
01:07:31.320 --> 01:07:36.079
to bring up Curry and Lebron.
I think they're the most popular. I

870
01:07:36.079 --> 01:07:45.119
don't know that the faces of the
league. That's just mine. Faces of

871
01:07:45.119 --> 01:07:50.880
the league still, regardless of how
you look at it, and if you

872
01:07:50.920 --> 01:07:56.239
really want to get get jiggy with
it. Yeah, and the commentator who

873
01:07:56.239 --> 01:08:00.599
don't bring up Broun in any conversation
and final and not even then his finals

874
01:08:00.639 --> 01:08:04.159
and he's still getting the conversation.
I know the feeling. So it is

875
01:08:04.199 --> 01:08:06.440
what it is. I mean,
Lebron know how to get talked about.

876
01:08:06.719 --> 01:08:14.320
I give him that. This podcast
you telling, I don't care if you

877
01:08:14.440 --> 01:08:15.960
like it or not. That is
what I say to that I watch.

878
01:08:16.720 --> 01:08:20.600
I watched two things every morning,
well almost every morning. First take and

879
01:08:20.720 --> 01:08:25.119
uh, what's the what's your storf
with Greenee? Come on with who with

880
01:08:25.279 --> 01:08:31.079
Greenie? Mike Greenee part no interruption? Get up, get up, get

881
01:08:31.119 --> 01:08:35.840
up, get up? In first
take? Now, here's the thing about

882
01:08:35.840 --> 01:08:41.920
that number one. You always got
to talk about three teams. Los Angeles

883
01:08:41.960 --> 01:08:46.600
Lakers the Dallas Cowboys. Those are
the two teams you always have to bring

884
01:08:46.680 --> 01:08:50.159
up the matter, what the situation
is, what's going on. You always

885
01:08:50.159 --> 01:08:56.880
have to bring those two takes.
I can't wait to see. Yeah,

886
01:08:57.920 --> 01:09:00.920
I can't wait to y'all lose.
I'm see how much love Jordan Love gonna

887
01:09:00.920 --> 01:09:06.199
be getting for his sophomore season alone. I got the fifth party schedule this

888
01:09:06.279 --> 01:09:11.880
year. They and the Bears is
gonna this is it? You know now

889
01:09:11.920 --> 01:09:15.720
the Bears. We will ever own
the Bears. So uh, let's go

890
01:09:15.840 --> 01:09:24.039
Championship predictions and then finals MVP predictions. I am going to preface and don't

891
01:09:24.039 --> 01:09:27.159
interrupt me QUI beating around it,
but just let mere gonn tap dance.

892
01:09:27.239 --> 01:09:29.840
Let me make my stakes. Gonna
let me tap dance. I don't tap

893
01:09:29.960 --> 01:09:35.600
dance. I feel the disc can
go either way. There you go all

894
01:09:35.760 --> 01:09:40.479
time, New Years tap dance,
Then you go either way. But I

895
01:09:40.560 --> 01:09:45.760
am picking. I'm gonna say this. If they don't get it done this

896
01:09:45.920 --> 01:09:50.840
year, they Jason Tatum will never
win a title. I'm going with the

897
01:09:50.880 --> 01:09:58.680
Boston Celtics and seven. I think
this series has the potential to go the

898
01:09:58.720 --> 01:10:02.680
long haul, and I think home
court's going to matter. So I'm going

899
01:10:02.720 --> 01:10:08.960
with Boston in six or seven and
the MVP. I am going to give

900
01:10:09.000 --> 01:10:17.680
it to Jason Tape mm hmmm,
kc mm hmmm. Let me see it.

901
01:10:17.680 --> 01:10:23.479
Ain't that ain't easy because it can
go either way. Kandy Keys go

902
01:10:23.640 --> 01:10:31.600
either way. Championship editions and about
bomb mm hmm, take good time.

903
01:10:32.600 --> 01:10:40.600
I'm going with Dallas in finals,
MVP, hold on how many games?

904
01:10:41.840 --> 01:10:46.239
I'll go with Dallas in six?
Matter of fact, Dallas in five?

905
01:10:47.039 --> 01:10:56.479
What I'll let you rock with that. I just don't I don't see Boston

906
01:10:56.520 --> 01:11:08.520
prepared for them. Wow. And
I see Finals MVP Kyrie Irving. Wow.

907
01:11:09.399 --> 01:11:13.600
Okay, both of those are stupid, but you see Kyrie getting that

908
01:11:13.680 --> 01:11:19.479
over Luca. Yeah, wow.
I don't dislike it. I don't dislike

909
01:11:19.560 --> 01:11:25.880
If I can I say this case
before you continue, I'm I picked Boston

910
01:11:26.840 --> 01:11:30.000
because I'm cheering for Holiday, but
I wouldn't mind seeing Kyrie get a second

911
01:11:30.079 --> 01:11:35.079
one. Keeping it real, I
wouldn't mind I see Kyrie doing it is

912
01:11:35.119 --> 01:11:39.720
because Kyrie got a weight on his
shoulder. He gotta get off. And

913
01:11:39.760 --> 01:11:43.600
I see Kyrie coming in with a
different mentality than everybody else that's on the

914
01:11:43.600 --> 01:11:48.840
floor that they don't have because Tatum
hasn't won one yet, Brown in them

915
01:11:48.840 --> 01:11:54.760
hasn't one one one yet, Luca
hasn't won one yet. So the one

916
01:11:54.800 --> 01:11:59.760
person who got the finals experience outside
of him is Drew, and Drew won't

917
01:11:59.800 --> 01:12:04.359
mas Kyrie's energy when it comes to
putting on a performance in the finals.

918
01:12:05.399 --> 01:12:11.600
Kyrie's gonna put on a performance that
we've never seen before. Hmm, because

919
01:12:11.640 --> 01:12:15.920
nobody is expecting that. Everybody's expecting
who Luca Luca? So if you're Dallas,

920
01:12:15.960 --> 01:12:20.960
I'm coming into the series thinking Kyrie
is yours, your show. You

921
01:12:21.119 --> 01:12:26.359
take us home, Lucas, Luca
that we rolle Luca all the way here,

922
01:12:27.399 --> 01:12:30.560
take us home. The same thing
with Lebron. Lebron rolled us all

923
01:12:30.600 --> 01:12:34.279
the way there. Kyrie got to
the finals and he took over. He

924
01:12:34.399 --> 01:12:39.600
put them on his back. But
they gave the finals to Bron because he

925
01:12:39.760 --> 01:12:45.439
Bron. But if you think about
the most impactful person of that series when

926
01:12:45.479 --> 01:12:50.399
they won against Golden State, it
was Kyrie. It was Lebron's me.

927
01:12:50.600 --> 01:12:56.560
But I mean, Lebron did his
part, but Lebron commands so much attention

928
01:12:57.159 --> 01:13:00.840
that Kyrie kind of got hid off
in the court. So what do you

929
01:13:00.880 --> 01:13:03.239
think is gonna happen with this?
With Luca? Lucas want to get that

930
01:13:03.319 --> 01:13:08.800
same attention Bron got. I will
give you that. I agree with that.

931
01:13:09.479 --> 01:13:12.399
They're gonna know Kyrie can do his
thing, But at the same time,

932
01:13:12.439 --> 01:13:16.319
they're like, we don't want Luca
to get off, So Luca's gonna

933
01:13:16.319 --> 01:13:20.720
look at it like Kyrie, Do
your think he don't mind that? Mm

934
01:13:20.760 --> 01:13:27.760
hmm. I'm going with I'm going
with Dallas and seven and I think that

935
01:13:28.880 --> 01:13:32.520
m v P is they're gonna give
it to Luca and they're gonna push for

936
01:13:32.720 --> 01:13:38.920
him to be that guy the face
and I think it's but I'm going with

937
01:13:39.079 --> 01:13:41.359
Dallas, and I'm going with Dallas
and seven just because I don't want to

938
01:13:41.359 --> 01:13:44.359
see Boston win I don't want to
see Drew win another one. I don't

939
01:13:44.359 --> 01:13:46.399
want to see Tatum winning one.
I don't want to see Boston in general

940
01:13:46.479 --> 01:13:50.479
win one. I don't want to
see it. So I'm going with so

941
01:13:50.640 --> 01:13:58.920
much, I don't care Dallas.
Listen, Dallas unarrival Now. I hate

942
01:13:58.960 --> 01:14:01.399
Indiana. We changed rivals so much. I'm ain't gonna get because we only

943
01:14:01.399 --> 01:14:05.720
played one series against it, Dallas. We have Boston and Miami. Those

944
01:14:05.720 --> 01:14:10.000
are the two teams we see in
a consistent basis, our kryptonite. Those

945
01:14:10.039 --> 01:14:12.560
are the two teams's on a consistent
basis, though they kind of go back

946
01:14:12.600 --> 01:14:15.399
and forth. And just so y'all
are aware, in the two games they

947
01:14:15.520 --> 01:14:21.760
played this season, Boston won both
decisively. This is that's before the trade

948
01:14:21.800 --> 01:14:27.239
decisive. No, these were both
in January. This is before trade deadline.

949
01:14:27.399 --> 01:14:30.479
But the trade happened in February,
did it, Zeke? I think

950
01:14:30.520 --> 01:14:33.720
you made that up, bro.
That trade did not happen in January.

951
01:14:33.840 --> 01:14:39.520
I think it did no what trade
trade deadlines in February for PG right before,

952
01:14:39.720 --> 01:14:43.560
right before. Also they got PJ
right before. Yeah, so they

953
01:14:43.680 --> 01:14:48.640
beat them. The Celtics won one
thirty eight to one ten on March first,

954
01:14:49.119 --> 01:14:54.479
so the trade happened, okay.
And then they also beat them on

955
01:14:55.479 --> 01:15:00.159
January twenty second, my mother's birthday, one nineteen to one ten, and

956
01:15:00.279 --> 01:15:05.000
the Mavericks roster included to your point, that was before the trade. So

957
01:15:05.159 --> 01:15:09.840
before the trade they had their original
roster. They were twenty four to nineteen.

958
01:15:10.079 --> 01:15:14.560
They lost one ten one nineteen.
They picked up Graphic and PJ Washington

959
01:15:14.640 --> 01:15:19.319
and lost worse and lost worse.
It was finding a chemistry. They found

960
01:15:19.359 --> 01:15:21.439
a stride at the end of the
season, right when they needed it,

961
01:15:23.000 --> 01:15:26.960
one thirty eight to one ten.
Luca played. I mean, we both

962
01:15:27.039 --> 01:15:31.279
know the sea. Those seasonal matches
really don't mean anything. Let's not let's

963
01:15:31.319 --> 01:15:34.319
not go there. Let's not go
there. I'm not let's not go so

964
01:15:34.560 --> 01:15:39.560
but like I said, Luca scored
a night. He had a bad game.

965
01:15:39.720 --> 01:15:45.039
Nineteen. Kyrie had no Luca had
thirty seven points. Luke had a

966
01:15:45.039 --> 01:15:50.880
triple double thirty seven to twelve and
eleven. So all I'm saying is after

967
01:15:51.000 --> 01:15:56.119
regular season is any indication. Let's
not act like your sweet Let's not act

968
01:15:56.159 --> 01:15:59.800
like Boston's not getting ready to come
and bring the A game. That's what

969
01:16:00.000 --> 01:16:01.239
astin thinking. They coming in,
They thinking we're gonna beat them. I

970
01:16:01.279 --> 01:16:06.520
don't think so. I think Boston
losing to Miami last year, Boston is

971
01:16:08.159 --> 01:16:14.760
a little more seasoned season, but
they're they're I don't. I don't get

972
01:16:14.880 --> 01:16:19.520
ego from Boston. I got ego
from Indiana, I got ego from Phoenix,

973
01:16:20.960 --> 01:16:24.159
and I'll be honest, I get
a little ego from the Lakers.

974
01:16:25.920 --> 01:16:29.800
I don't get that from Boston.
I don't get ego from I think Boston

975
01:16:29.920 --> 01:16:33.800
has really nonchalantly because they they they
beat every team, and they beat every

976
01:16:33.840 --> 01:16:40.840
team very well. So I just
give really like and I mean, I

977
01:16:40.920 --> 01:16:44.319
will say there's one person that's what
we want to watch out for, Jaylen

978
01:16:44.359 --> 01:16:46.880
Brown. I don't. I don't
like to tap dance around this, but

979
01:16:46.960 --> 01:16:49.560
if Boston were to pull it out, I could see Jaylen Brown being the

980
01:16:49.600 --> 01:16:54.079
reason. Why not Jason Tatum doesn't
matter as long as they get a ring

981
01:16:56.800 --> 01:17:00.479
could be. But I see Dallas
and six. I ain't gonna lie Dallas

982
01:17:00.600 --> 01:17:03.279
tell them what she got you on
the way in on this one. You

983
01:17:03.359 --> 01:17:06.079
don't care, That's what I told
my people. I don't really care who

984
01:17:06.119 --> 01:17:10.119
wins, but I am. I
do want to see how they get one.

985
01:17:11.720 --> 01:17:15.079
What Bucks fans? We are not
interested in this series, are we?

986
01:17:15.199 --> 01:17:18.119
Kisi? We'll watch it because it's
the NBA, but we are not

987
01:17:18.239 --> 01:17:23.399
sitting here with signs cheering. I'm
wearing Bucks hats every game I'm watching.

988
01:17:23.680 --> 01:17:28.960
Oh god, I mean with this
episode. Oh yeah, Finals, MVP

989
01:17:29.319 --> 01:17:35.039
Luca, but Luca before we get
into before we get into small Bucks talking.

990
01:17:35.079 --> 01:17:38.000
We've been all over the place.
So I just wanted to throw this

991
01:17:38.119 --> 01:17:42.399
out there too, uh telling you
want to go ahead and play the clips?

992
01:17:42.439 --> 01:17:45.000
That topic going on right now?
Kate and Clark says she got cheap

993
01:17:45.039 --> 01:17:47.800
shot at against the Sky. I
mean throughout the season, she's been getting

994
01:17:47.800 --> 01:17:50.840
beat up, hard, screens,
elbows, knockdown. It is what it

995
01:17:50.960 --> 01:17:55.079
is. She's not the first,
she won't be the last. My issue

996
01:17:55.159 --> 01:17:58.760
with my question is where the fuck
are her teammates at? Where y'all at,

997
01:17:58.800 --> 01:18:00.720
where the rest of the INDIANAF.
I've seen a couple of girls smirk

998
01:18:00.880 --> 01:18:04.760
when she's got knocked down half ass
to pick her up like y'all supposed to

999
01:18:04.800 --> 01:18:08.840
protect the asset, protect the star
and all. This is the team.

1000
01:18:09.159 --> 01:18:12.000
She's the star. You always protect
your star. I was someone who protected

1001
01:18:12.039 --> 01:18:16.199
the stars. You fuck with cob
cp blake list goes on. I'm it's

1002
01:18:16.199 --> 01:18:18.399
gonna be a problem because you got
to supposed to be a family. And

1003
01:18:18.520 --> 01:18:21.079
you wonder why you sit at the
bottom of the league right now because y'all

1004
01:18:21.079 --> 01:18:24.359
don't protect each other. Man,
coach, don't do shit about it,

1005
01:18:24.439 --> 01:18:27.000
players don't shoot do it about y'all
should be ashamed of it. But the

1006
01:18:27.039 --> 01:18:29.199
rest of league is going to continue
to test her, and that's what they're

1007
01:18:29.199 --> 01:18:30.720
supposed to do. It's she got
fucking job to have her back and have

1008
01:18:30.800 --> 01:18:39.439
each other's back. Gotta do better, Ladies's in one thousand and one,

1009
01:18:39.520 --> 01:18:46.920
Why I don't watch the WB Why
who cares for one? Really quick?

1010
01:18:46.960 --> 01:18:50.039
Hold on really quickly? Never almost
want to address this real quick, address

1011
01:18:50.119 --> 01:18:55.159
it, address it, address it. So you don't like women's basketball,

1012
01:18:55.560 --> 01:19:00.039
I have never I have not watched
it. So I don't like women's basketball.

1013
01:19:00.159 --> 01:19:03.199
But I have not watched the w
NBA game in years. Jesus doesn't

1014
01:19:03.239 --> 01:19:06.479
make me a sexist. It doesn't
make me anything. I just don't like

1015
01:19:06.600 --> 01:19:11.199
it. So does not going to
hockey games make you a racist? Yeah,

1016
01:19:11.279 --> 01:19:15.079
I'll take that. The only black
person in the building. That's a

1017
01:19:15.159 --> 01:19:17.600
lie. I'm gonna get to the
point and quick and fast about this.

1018
01:19:20.720 --> 01:19:25.920
It's a little bit of Envynus in
there, yep. Selfish, a little

1019
01:19:25.920 --> 01:19:30.359
bit of hatred, selfish, a
little bit of animosity. Animosity. First

1020
01:19:30.439 --> 01:19:34.039
off, the other teams are supposed
to do that time. He said that

1021
01:19:34.600 --> 01:19:38.319
he was totally but that was a
dirty play. He was spot on the

1022
01:19:38.600 --> 01:19:42.000
dirty playing they've done. They've been
doing everybody like that and if you watch

1023
01:19:42.039 --> 01:19:45.399
it. I've watched w may girls. Some of them be just as tough

1024
01:19:45.640 --> 01:19:47.920
as something. They've upgraded it to
a flagrant one and they got fined five

1025
01:19:48.000 --> 01:19:51.079
thousand dollars for it. Who did
the girl that did it to Kaitlin?

1026
01:19:53.680 --> 01:19:58.800
Yes she did, but listen,
but her team got fined five thousand dollars,

1027
01:19:58.880 --> 01:20:01.640
a team and a the person got
fined a thousand. Yeah. I

1028
01:20:01.720 --> 01:20:08.399
know, so that Angel Reid.
But my thing is, though, shut

1029
01:20:08.479 --> 01:20:15.159
up listen and Angel reachemen taking some
hits too. I've been watching her too,

1030
01:20:15.560 --> 01:20:18.079
So what ain't just Caitlin. So
if they're gonna talk about her,

1031
01:20:18.199 --> 01:20:23.359
they need to talk about all Angel
Reese as well, because Angel Reeves got

1032
01:20:23.439 --> 01:20:27.439
I seen her get elbowed in the
forehead. So one of my friends challenged

1033
01:20:27.479 --> 01:20:30.880
me today and I went through with
the challenge. He said, he said,

1034
01:20:31.520 --> 01:20:38.479
everybody, I need for y'all to
support women's sports and buy a w

1035
01:20:38.800 --> 01:20:44.159
NBA League pass. It's only thirty
five dollars a year. And I said,

1036
01:20:44.199 --> 01:20:46.199
you know what, I probably should
do that because I was sitting next

1037
01:20:46.239 --> 01:20:50.359
to a w NBA superstar. I
didn't even know it, and right now

1038
01:20:50.800 --> 01:20:56.159
she's number one in scoring in the
w NBA. I told you she was

1039
01:20:56.239 --> 01:20:58.920
good. I didn't deny. I
just said I didn't know them. I'm

1040
01:20:58.920 --> 01:21:00.960
saying I tried to tell you,
I don't want to. I was like,

1041
01:21:00.279 --> 01:21:04.279
remember when I'm buying the league past. So when we sat next to

1042
01:21:04.319 --> 01:21:08.640
her, I'm telling him like she's
good, good, like you know,

1043
01:21:09.239 --> 01:21:12.279
be like she's good. And her
brother was on the NFL team sitting next

1044
01:21:12.359 --> 01:21:15.359
to it, right, No,
not him, not that wasn't him.

1045
01:21:15.479 --> 01:21:21.039
No, okay, but we gay
he's that business from racing she played for

1046
01:21:21.680 --> 01:21:26.079
w uh uh. She went to
d s h A, Yes, Divine

1047
01:21:26.159 --> 01:21:30.199
savorit, Holy Angels, she was
a problem, Yeah she is. She's

1048
01:21:30.239 --> 01:21:33.039
a problem now. She holds every
wisconscinle record for women's basketball. He's a

1049
01:21:33.079 --> 01:21:35.880
problem now, and she's a problem
in the w n B A, and

1050
01:21:35.960 --> 01:21:43.079
she was a problem when she was
at So I have a Yeah, Tennessee,

1051
01:21:43.159 --> 01:21:46.279
I'm gonna have a w n B
A league past. It's only thirty

1052
01:21:46.319 --> 01:21:50.600
five bucks. I'm a support.
I'm a support because because he I'm sorry,

1053
01:21:50.640 --> 01:21:54.359
because he also made a comment he
said, if you enjoyed the NBA

1054
01:21:55.239 --> 01:21:58.920
before the evolution of the three point
shot, you would really enjoy the w

1055
01:21:59.079 --> 01:22:03.680
n B A. Cap WHOA,
I'm not gonna lie to you. I

1056
01:22:03.840 --> 01:22:08.680
watched w n B A. It's
put popping in. It's a mixture of

1057
01:22:08.720 --> 01:22:11.520
pop culture and what's going on in
sports and stuff like that, so on

1058
01:22:11.560 --> 01:22:14.079
and so forth. It's the same
rea. I watched the w n A

1059
01:22:14.239 --> 01:22:16.159
for the same reason I watched the
uf L. There's nothing else on.

1060
01:22:16.399 --> 01:22:21.560
Sorry, there's nothing else on.
So I like the w n B A

1061
01:22:21.800 --> 01:22:26.720
because but I just want, I
want I put this post this clip because

1062
01:22:26.720 --> 01:22:29.119
I did think it was interesting.
Number A couple of things. Like you

1063
01:22:29.159 --> 01:22:32.560
said before, I do think I
don't think it's as many as we think,

1064
01:22:32.640 --> 01:22:36.359
but I do think there's some some
of those feelings, some mvs,

1065
01:22:38.560 --> 01:22:42.119
all those feelings are in there in
the NBA. And I remember before the

1066
01:22:42.159 --> 01:22:44.800
first season starts, you went on
your little rant about the w NBA.

1067
01:22:44.920 --> 01:22:47.760
You went on You're talking about how
why is Kaitlyn getting all this spotlight and

1068
01:22:47.840 --> 01:22:50.960
so on and so forth when they
have been w NBA playing the league and

1069
01:22:51.039 --> 01:22:55.399
balling out before this or whatever.
And I, like I said before,

1070
01:22:55.439 --> 01:22:58.279
I do think her being Caucasian does
have a little bit to do with it.

1071
01:22:59.000 --> 01:23:03.560
But the thing about Kaitlyn Clark and
I think this is but I've heard

1072
01:23:03.760 --> 01:23:06.640
so many different angles from this,
and one angle I heard from this was

1073
01:23:06.920 --> 01:23:10.600
this is the same kind of stuff
that Lebron James had to go through when

1074
01:23:10.600 --> 01:23:13.279
he first got into the league.
Nobody beat up n James. Anybody beat

1075
01:23:13.359 --> 01:23:15.399
up Lebron Jay because he was too
big. Wh when he first went to

1076
01:23:15.439 --> 01:23:17.479
Cleveland was what were they saying,
Who is this dude? Why is he

1077
01:23:17.560 --> 01:23:20.600
getting all this love? Such and
such and such? Same thing with Jordan

1078
01:23:20.640 --> 01:23:26.560
when he first came. But the
thing about it is when you first when

1079
01:23:26.600 --> 01:23:32.479
you have a lot of hype going
into the NBA. But they're all but

1080
01:23:32.600 --> 01:23:39.880
they're always okay, you can go
over the whole roster. But the point

1081
01:23:40.039 --> 01:23:43.680
is that there was a lot of
there's been a lot of talk about these

1082
01:23:43.720 --> 01:23:45.079
guys when they first into the LEADU, especially because you're getting a lot of

1083
01:23:45.239 --> 01:23:49.920
hype Andy and and that too.
But it's one of them things where like

1084
01:23:50.039 --> 01:23:56.439
I just I watched the whole game
yesterday and they and I've watched a couple

1085
01:23:56.439 --> 01:23:58.560
of games. Kayln Clark has been
a part and they do be on top

1086
01:23:58.600 --> 01:24:00.920
of her, like why don't Rice? I don't like that her team does

1087
01:24:01.000 --> 01:24:04.960
not defend her. I hate that. But the thing about this, I

1088
01:24:05.000 --> 01:24:09.720
don't think it's a rookie Hayes and
I think they're They're not even used to

1089
01:24:10.600 --> 01:24:15.960
a teammate having this type of behavior
towards her. So you can't say,

1090
01:24:15.000 --> 01:24:17.840
well, you're supposed to jump on
the teen y'all family and the NBA we're

1091
01:24:17.960 --> 01:24:23.439
used to that. Like you go
into like Matthew Barnes, Matt Barnes,

1092
01:24:23.760 --> 01:24:26.880
you're an enforcer. Nobody had to
tell him he's an enforcer, but he

1093
01:24:26.960 --> 01:24:33.039
knew he was an enforcer, and
Kennedy Carter said after she was fine,

1094
01:24:33.439 --> 01:24:36.720
she said, side street points shooting. What else does she bring to the

1095
01:24:36.800 --> 01:24:40.159
table, And that's number one?
Number two, She's like, I don't

1096
01:24:40.159 --> 01:24:42.920
even want to talk about. She
got fine, she got fined. Her

1097
01:24:43.119 --> 01:24:45.439
and Andreurie got fined because they want
to talk to the press afterwords. And

1098
01:24:45.640 --> 01:24:49.439
Kaitlyn Clark's stats are better than hers
to see, Kaylen Clark has has some

1099
01:24:49.520 --> 01:24:53.479
nice stats. She has some horrible
stats, but you have some nice stats.

1100
01:24:53.560 --> 01:24:58.079
Sixteen and she's starting and she's starting
to come around. So I just

1101
01:24:58.199 --> 01:25:01.399
find it. I thought that was
very interesting thing that Kayln Kark is getting.

1102
01:25:01.520 --> 01:25:03.039
I don't think it's so. I
don't think it's a hate thing.

1103
01:25:03.199 --> 01:25:06.880
How long before how long before this
becomes a race issue? It's not a

1104
01:25:06.960 --> 01:25:15.720
race issue. I'll never be there, I think exactly. I think I

1105
01:25:15.800 --> 01:25:19.960
think this is more of a situation
where nobody has ever nobody has ever come

1106
01:25:20.039 --> 01:25:24.199
into the league, and with this
much hype in the w NBA before,

1107
01:25:24.479 --> 01:25:29.880
no matter how many great care on, knowing how many players they've had greater

1108
01:25:30.039 --> 01:25:32.680
than her, no one's coming to
this much hype, maya more. None

1109
01:25:32.720 --> 01:25:35.479
of them have never come in with
this much hype, and that's a little

1110
01:25:35.479 --> 01:25:39.399
bit of the time she got.
So she got a lot to prove she

1111
01:25:39.560 --> 01:25:42.760
do, and she's balling. And
if she's not capable of putting on the

1112
01:25:42.840 --> 01:25:47.039
show like she did in college,
she's going to the window. I don't

1113
01:25:47.079 --> 01:25:49.720
I don't think that she will do
window. I think she'll be fine.

1114
01:25:49.760 --> 01:25:54.600
I just think she's gonna tap it, toughen up, get a little bigger,

1115
01:25:55.600 --> 01:25:58.640
and get some thicker skin. She
cried when she got home. I

1116
01:25:58.680 --> 01:26:01.560
bet I don't think so. I
mean, you would say that you don't

1117
01:26:01.560 --> 01:26:05.680
like when it's basketball twenty one man
and everybody has feelings, even the toughest

1118
01:26:05.720 --> 01:26:12.600
person. We shall see. We
shall see. Before we get about of

1119
01:26:12.600 --> 01:26:15.479
here. Going to the Bucks talk. The New Orleans Pelicans are going to

1120
01:26:15.640 --> 01:26:18.720
trade brandon Ingram. They consider in
a lot of Eastern Conference team. Should

1121
01:26:18.720 --> 01:26:21.199
the Bucks put their hat in the
ring? We don't have no assets.

1122
01:26:21.840 --> 01:26:25.560
That's something that asks you, of
course we should. Why wouldn't we?

1123
01:26:25.760 --> 01:26:28.359
Of course? But the only person
that we could probably only give up for

1124
01:26:28.479 --> 01:26:32.079
him is Chris Middleton, Christ Middleton, Jay Crowder Brook low fast, j

1125
01:26:32.239 --> 01:26:38.920
Crowder, Jay crowded resigned. I
heard bow Champ I said it. I

1126
01:26:39.079 --> 01:26:43.520
heard. I heard Chris Middleton's requested
the trade. I heard that too,

1127
01:26:43.640 --> 01:26:47.600
But it did not come from an
actual, viable source. It came from

1128
01:26:47.680 --> 01:26:53.159
one of those opinionated tetes. There
wasn't a blue check. Yeah, it

1129
01:26:53.319 --> 01:26:56.960
wasn't from Woes, it wasn't from
Sham, it wasn't from stephen A.

1130
01:26:57.960 --> 01:27:01.359
It was from one of those uh
opinionated tweets. I hope it's true.

1131
01:27:01.880 --> 01:27:06.880
I hope it's true because he can
go. I'll take Ingram for Brook and

1132
01:27:08.000 --> 01:27:13.720
Chris Middleton. I'll take them,
really, yes, for both. That's

1133
01:27:13.960 --> 01:27:16.439
too much for him. That's a
lot. We gave up seven players for

1134
01:27:16.600 --> 01:27:20.560
Jay Crowder. We mean we gave
up seven players. Gave up two players

1135
01:27:20.640 --> 01:27:28.359
in five second round draft picks,
seven players. Five of those players probably

1136
01:27:28.359 --> 01:27:31.600
wouldn't even be good enough to make
the roster. Five of them wouldn't.

1137
01:27:31.760 --> 01:27:36.039
It really wouldn't so two if that
we gave up the kitchen sing for Dame,

1138
01:27:38.199 --> 01:27:45.000
he's dang. I don't know what
we've been sitting. Are We still

1139
01:27:45.039 --> 01:27:50.520
be at home whether we make that
trade or not. Chris Middleton and Brandon

1140
01:27:50.720 --> 01:27:57.640
Ingram are not a tip for that
trading it is. It is Tiff attack

1141
01:27:59.600 --> 01:28:02.079
Christ which Middleton is a better shooter, Chris Middleton's a better shooter. Both

1142
01:28:02.119 --> 01:28:06.840
on the injury all the time,
branded like you don't care sometimes like I

1143
01:28:06.880 --> 01:28:12.159
think he'd be coming to the game
high if anything to help his career out,

1144
01:28:13.399 --> 01:28:18.760
remain focused. Then will keep him
Brook. No, that's crazy.

1145
01:28:19.319 --> 01:28:27.920
You can't send Brook for Ingram for
Ingram Brook, because who's gonna The only

1146
01:28:27.960 --> 01:28:31.680
reason I'm saying for Middleton is because
he would take Middleton's spot from the starting

1147
01:28:31.720 --> 01:28:39.479
lineup. Play the five. He's
seven foot, he's Ingram. He's a

1148
01:28:39.560 --> 01:28:46.359
small forward, Brandon Ingram seven.
But somebody like Anthony Davis, somebody like

1149
01:28:46.439 --> 01:28:51.760
Anthony Davis, somebody like Anthony Davis
just think of it like this long length.

1150
01:28:54.159 --> 01:28:58.319
But he doesn't have the body to
stay somewhere near I think you haven't

1151
01:28:58.319 --> 01:29:01.560
confused. Some follow out that game. He don't even have an attitude of

1152
01:29:01.560 --> 01:29:06.199
team. Play the five every game, every game. I think he made

1153
01:29:06.239 --> 01:29:12.039
one All Star All Star team.
Randon Ingram is okay, he's not quite

1154
01:29:12.079 --> 01:29:15.159
sex sixteen. He's sixty six nine. Okay, he's six' nine.

1155
01:29:15.279 --> 01:29:19.600
Okay, I stayed correct. In
what position you play it doesn't say here.

1156
01:29:20.640 --> 01:29:23.880
But I mean, I'm not saying, y'all not wrong. You played

1157
01:29:23.880 --> 01:29:26.600
the small for he played small four. I thought he played the five because

1158
01:29:26.600 --> 01:29:29.159
I always see him playing next to
Zion, and he's always the man in

1159
01:29:29.199 --> 01:29:31.000
the middle. He's always guard in
the center. That's why I assume he

1160
01:29:31.119 --> 01:29:34.680
played the five. Ingram is play
the middle, Yes, he does.

1161
01:29:34.840 --> 01:29:39.319
Bro. When he played us,
he was on Brook got the bad attention

1162
01:29:39.399 --> 01:29:43.640
a little more than you did.
No. No, you played the small

1163
01:29:43.720 --> 01:29:45.920
four where he got switched off on
Brook quite a few times. But okay,

1164
01:29:46.000 --> 01:29:51.439
fine, switch off. I reason
I'm offering up Brook because we need

1165
01:29:51.560 --> 01:29:57.399
to get younger, and we don't
get younger. But my thing is who

1166
01:29:57.640 --> 01:30:01.399
going after making a package deal?
Bring him in? Valgowski's over here.

1167
01:30:02.199 --> 01:30:05.960
They play for the same teams in
the vow. He's a pretty decent who

1168
01:30:06.039 --> 01:30:10.279
is about now? Just call him
bow to call him bow? He plays

1169
01:30:10.359 --> 01:30:14.079
for is how you're said. I
ain't gonna try to say that. I'm

1170
01:30:14.079 --> 01:30:16.720
gonna make myself a little more horrible
than my man's over here. But making

1171
01:30:16.760 --> 01:30:20.439
the package deal, just take the
al, don't bring it down with you,

1172
01:30:20.640 --> 01:30:25.079
just take down. Make it the
package deal. Break vow and Ingram

1173
01:30:25.159 --> 01:30:28.720
over for brook in Middletown and bow
Champ because they're gonna have to give up

1174
01:30:28.720 --> 01:30:33.960
something else, bow Champ just to
win over bow Champ get rid of him

1175
01:30:33.960 --> 01:30:36.880
because they gonna want something young a
a time just for them making the trade

1176
01:30:36.960 --> 01:30:41.800
him a future drive bow cham just
because Ingram is is younger than Chris.

1177
01:30:42.239 --> 01:30:45.000
But Chris is a better score and
shooter. Facts if he plays, If

1178
01:30:45.079 --> 01:30:48.479
he plays, that's the thing.
If he plays. But you said Ingram's

1179
01:30:48.479 --> 01:30:51.680
pretty injury prone too, is Look, then why would we want that?

1180
01:30:51.840 --> 01:30:57.800
Because a lot of centers at court
because younger. He's just a little bit

1181
01:30:57.840 --> 01:31:00.800
younger. If he's injury pron I
don't know if I want that here because

1182
01:31:00.920 --> 01:31:05.560
Dame is injury prone and should we
said one thing about but one thing about

1183
01:31:05.680 --> 01:31:10.319
Ingram. Though he can score,
he can when he plays, he can

1184
01:31:10.399 --> 01:31:13.119
score when when he plays, when
he plays, He's like Middleton. They

1185
01:31:13.159 --> 01:31:16.680
can play when they play when they
play twenty five. But but the minute

1186
01:31:16.720 --> 01:31:19.640
you scratch him on the elbow,
they out for six weeks. And like

1187
01:31:19.800 --> 01:31:24.199
I said, is to me for
me, it's effort for Ingram because his

1188
01:31:24.800 --> 01:31:29.600
he'd be strained. Strange, It's
just maybe he need to get around somebody

1189
01:31:29.640 --> 01:31:31.720
with a mentality like honest, that's
what I'm saying. That works hard.

1190
01:31:31.720 --> 01:31:35.159
I'm saying if he can, Milwaukee
would be better for his career long jepards.

1191
01:31:35.199 --> 01:31:40.640
He doesn't have anybody in New Orleans
with that type of young pedigree taking.

1192
01:31:41.479 --> 01:31:45.800
Zion is still over there taking down
porn stars and Instagram models and eating

1193
01:31:45.880 --> 01:31:48.680
sandwiches and you know what I'm saying, and playing the game, just a

1194
01:31:48.800 --> 01:31:53.199
stack of sandwiches and gumbo sitting next
to him, and only bet they got

1195
01:31:53.279 --> 01:31:56.880
a C. J. McCullum and
listening in. I was just gonna say

1196
01:31:56.920 --> 01:31:59.720
that, and they ain't listening to
him. They like, you just got

1197
01:32:00.119 --> 01:32:02.279
over here, bro, just take
a seat. You're supposed to be quiet.

1198
01:32:05.479 --> 01:32:11.399
So but yeah, so I just
want to get that out there,

1199
