1
00:00:14,839 --> 00:00:19,879
What is krak alac in fellow thermonuclear
a efforts. I am Dana Valley coming

2
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:23,559
at you once more with my certified
fantabulous co host, mister Grant Hughes,

3
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:27,839
who was kind enough to jump on
for a stat padding only podcast because we

4
00:00:27,839 --> 00:00:31,120
were interrupted in what would have probably
been like a two hour podcast at that

5
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:36,039
point. Plus my internet just crapped
out, like I'm hooked up to Ethernet

6
00:00:36,079 --> 00:00:38,840
when we podcast, it just went
out. I was not a happy camper.

7
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,280
It was late in my time.
Grant was nice enough to understand and

8
00:00:41,359 --> 00:00:46,079
come back on the very next day
to record this usual reminders. I'm just

9
00:00:46,079 --> 00:00:50,039
gonna say, subscribe like the videos, comment on them, be nice in

10
00:00:50,079 --> 00:00:52,799
the comment to be you know,
if Grant I could get more compliments than

11
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,799
just being accused of not watching games
or hitting your favorite teams player. I

12
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:59,439
know that we have followers who are
super nice, so I appreciate all of

13
00:00:59,439 --> 00:01:02,039
you, but sometimes it just gets
rough in the comment section. I am

14
00:01:02,119 --> 00:01:07,680
terminally online, so I'm reading everything. So yeah, sub YouTube, Spotify,

20
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,840

the heck are you doing? I don't

21
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,920
worry about me. How's your internet
doing? We're we're you know, I'm

22
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:34,920
actually happy you asked to record earlier, like you texted me while I was

23
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,799
in the middle of a meet and
greet with my dogs, which, yeah,

24
00:01:37,799 --> 00:01:40,319
can we start there? You're gonna
have to elaborate, thinks, So

25
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,239
did you meet some nice dogs today? So we've given up on the third

26
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,920
dog search for a little bit,
just because my wife's about to get super

27
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:51,319
busy at work and I'm you know, terminally busy. I guess, uh,

28
00:01:51,599 --> 00:01:53,040
this is where I'm in a wedding. It's my brother in law is

29
00:01:53,079 --> 00:01:57,359
getting married and neither of us are
going to be here, so we need

30
00:01:57,359 --> 00:02:00,799
someone to come and let the dogs
out while we're gone that day. They

31
00:02:00,799 --> 00:02:05,879
are not good with strangers or other
dogs. We got them in the middle

32
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:07,639
of the pandemic, like they got
trapped, and we paid for a flight

33
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:12,199
like the Nanny flights. They couldn't
fly because flights got shut down. Then

34
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,000
they got trapped in Georgia. It
was at the height. It was like

35
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:16,680
right when everything was shut down because
of the pandemic. And then for the

36
00:02:16,719 --> 00:02:20,759
first like year year and a half
in their lives, we tried to socialize

37
00:02:20,759 --> 00:02:23,520
them as best as possible, but
we just weren't seeing people enough. So

38
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:27,759
we've brought them to behaviorists. They
are on medication. I love them to

39
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,520
death, and you know I love
Anyone who listens to this podcast knows I

40
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:34,199
love my dogs to death. They
suck. We had this. She was

41
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,719
very nice. She works at the
groomers that they go to, and so

42
00:02:36,719 --> 00:02:38,400
they've seen her before. She groomed
them, and she always says that they're

43
00:02:38,439 --> 00:02:43,439
fine. They just went One of
my dogs Doore, just like went off

44
00:02:43,439 --> 00:02:45,800
and wouldn't leave her alone. So
we're just worried how they're going to react

45
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:49,039
when she tries to come and alone. But my wife tends to be more

46
00:02:49,039 --> 00:02:53,199
in tune with their and more in
tune and care more about their emotions than

47
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,039
I do. I think I'm just
like, no displace them from their comfort

48
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:59,520
zone and like, let's as long
as she's not intimidated by these little these

49
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,120
dogs. Yeah, let's stress has
these dogs and they just she just has

50
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,360
to open the door and let them
out. And if we told her,

51
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,240
if she doesn't feel comfortable coming in, don't come in, and well they'll

52
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,439
figure it out. So it was
it's always stressful because they suck. I

53
00:03:10,479 --> 00:03:14,439
love them, and they are very
good dogs with the people that are in

54
00:03:14,479 --> 00:03:19,759
their inner circle. But meeting new
people is such a project. It's not

55
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,439
even funny with them. That sounds
like a real world problem. And I

56
00:03:23,479 --> 00:03:27,280
feel for you, but I have
to say, excuse me. I am

57
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,639
disappointed because when you said you're at
a meet and greet with your dogs or

58
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:35,280
something like to that effect you texted
it, I was envisioning you, just

59
00:03:35,319 --> 00:03:38,039
like, you know, being introduced
to various dogs and like asking them how

60
00:03:38,039 --> 00:03:42,280
they were doing to see if you
guys clicked or not. But that would

61
00:03:42,639 --> 00:03:44,759
you know, it seems like more
of a fun thing to be doing.

62
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:49,800
But I guess what you're doing is
important to Yeah, I texted you,

63
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,800
by the way to start recording earlier
because I also got a dog over this

64
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:58,759
past weekend and am great training it
at night, and I'm not sleeping,

65
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,080
so we is not gonna make it
up for another late night for me,

66
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:06,000
which is like eight pm record session. So we're knocking this out in the

67
00:04:06,039 --> 00:04:10,560
mid afternoon, which I'm ecstatic about
to circle all the way back. That's

68
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:14,199
how I'm doing, Dan, I'm
ecstatic about recording right now. Shout out

69
00:04:14,199 --> 00:04:16,800
in orbit. Though. Yeah,
he looks I've seen you showed him to

70
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,600
me. He's just pictures and you
brought him on screen off air. See

71
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:24,120
all the listeners on YouTube miss out
on that. He is adorbs. So

72
00:04:24,319 --> 00:04:27,720
I'm sorry you're not sleeping, but
he looks one thousand percent worth it.

73
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,279
He's worth it, he's worth it. I'll bring him on at some point.

74
00:04:30,399 --> 00:04:33,800
I think he's actually sleeping right now, but he's higher from keeping you

75
00:04:33,879 --> 00:04:39,319
up the right. Yes, it's
got to get our schedule synced up at

76
00:04:39,319 --> 00:04:42,800
some point, which will happen.
But we're not here to talk about dogs,

77
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,000
even though we've knocked out five minutes
doing it. What are we gonna

78
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:47,800
do today, Dan, We've got
it's just gonna be a I mean,

79
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,600
the segment is always long enough to
be its own pod. Someone I think

80
00:04:50,639 --> 00:04:54,839
actually mentioned the discord that it's like
getting a bonus podcast. Well, this

81
00:04:54,879 --> 00:04:58,519
week it's an actual podcast. It's
the third episode of the week, so

82
00:04:58,639 --> 00:05:01,279
I won't apologize, but normally it
wouldn't be its own episode. And we

83
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:05,959
just have people sent in, a
bunch of guests of players and so in

84
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:10,279
addition to Rubik's gallon, So like
this is I feel like this is gonna

85
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,839
be fun. I mean, talking
about evergreen content the middle of the season

86
00:05:12,879 --> 00:05:15,720
is hard to find. We got
our listeners just pumping it out for us.

87
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:17,639
Right, that's the dream, Right, It's like having passive income.

88
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:21,800
It's you just have passive content generation. Uh. It's also like kind of

89
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:26,040
like a weird, messed up internship
where nobody gets paid, but we sh

90
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,639
probably should not frame it that way. Also, I love not having to

91
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,519
prepare other than having to come up
with things for you to guess. But

92
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:35,399
I like the spontaneity of it.
So more stat padding. I will say,

93
00:05:35,439 --> 00:05:40,319
I spend too much time. We'll
call it like passive thinking or it's

94
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,920
not subconscious thinking, but I'll be
at the gym or working on something else,

95
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,399
and like my brain will go towards
like I need to come up with

96
00:05:46,439 --> 00:05:47,839
some good stat padding ideas and what
this I'll be in the middle of a

97
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,439
set at the gym and like trying
to think of what would be a good

98
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:55,519
concept to ask Grant during stat padding. How many clues would it take him

99
00:05:55,560 --> 00:06:00,639
to guess Anthony Simons. Let's let's
go. Uh yeah, so I'm excited.

100
00:06:00,639 --> 00:06:04,399
What do you want to start with? Want to do our listeners guess

101
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:10,079
us first? Sure? Sure,
let's start with I have So this is

102
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:15,160
from she Can where session. I
apologize for mis announcing it on Discord.

103
00:06:15,759 --> 00:06:20,000
Here's a guess a player. So
clue number one. You wouldn't know it,

104
00:06:20,079 --> 00:06:25,079
but I have led the playoffs in
rebounds per game. I don't think

105
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,319
you're going to get it off that
one. If you do, I'm going

106
00:06:27,399 --> 00:06:30,920
to be forever impressed to your superstar
not getting it there. Clue number two.

107
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,879
After playing a critical role in the
best defense in the league, I

108
00:06:33,959 --> 00:06:39,720
more than double my career total all
defense defensive votes up to that point for

109
00:06:39,759 --> 00:06:46,279
that season by receiving three votes.
Okay, I got no time frame.

110
00:06:46,519 --> 00:06:48,279
The NBA has been around for a
long time. It's an active player.

111
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:54,920
Oh okay, all right. After
starting every game in my sophomore season,

112
00:06:55,000 --> 00:07:00,480
I have been benched for a combined
six time rebound six total rebounding champs.

113
00:07:00,759 --> 00:07:05,000
Wait say that again? Yeah,
this one is after starting every game my

114
00:07:05,079 --> 00:07:09,879
sophomore season, I have been benched
for a six time rebounding champ. I

115
00:07:09,879 --> 00:07:13,759
think oh lost his job? Got
it? Okay, started every game as

116
00:07:13,759 --> 00:07:17,519
a sophomore, got benched for someone
who just gets all the rebounds. Okay,

117
00:07:17,839 --> 00:07:21,319
and he's active. I'm not getting
there yet. I think you'll.

118
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:26,000
I think you will get there.
Number four, I avenged Steven Adams for

119
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:31,439
the punishment he took to his family
jewels. Oh, oh damn it.

120
00:07:31,879 --> 00:07:35,079
I hate this. There's one more
clue. I'm sleep deprived. This is

121
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:39,839
unfair. This one. You're gonna
You're gonna know it after this one,

122
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:46,319
okay. Number five, fifth and
final clue. After getting a wildly panned

123
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:50,680
contract, I became the fourth All
star of my draft draft class. I

124
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:56,199
gotta tell you, Dan, I'm
not sleeping enough. This is it's less

125
00:07:56,199 --> 00:07:58,959
obvious, I guess than I thought. But you're gonna kick yourself. Just

126
00:07:59,319 --> 00:08:07,319
think of this podcast us wildly panned
contract. Oh is it Jared Allen?

127
00:08:07,439 --> 00:08:11,040
It is it is Jared Allen.
That's unfair. That dirty pool. Whoever

128
00:08:11,079 --> 00:08:13,839
came up with that. That's embarrassing. I swear to God, if we

129
00:08:13,839 --> 00:08:18,439
get a Frank Milachino one, I'm
gonna get it. Or actually there's a

130
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:22,319
regular key one, I don't get
it. That's shame. Shame. Yeah,

131
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,519
well I don't think we've got one
of those yet. Do you have

132
00:08:24,519 --> 00:08:26,480
another one? Because I have one. Listeners submitted one for you. I

133
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:31,440
yes, so let me let's have
this. One's from I think Discord member

134
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:35,919
b be Rich Underscore at X I
believe has a personal relationship. Yes,

135
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:41,519
I do know this person, so
this is uh. I don't feel confident

136
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,879
right now after not getting Jared Allen. So you're catching me at a weak

137
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:48,440
moment. But I'm gonna persevere,
always full of excuses, just like James

138
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:52,879
Harden. Grant my god. All
right, include number one. I was

139
00:08:52,919 --> 00:08:56,200
the number five overall pick by the
Charlotte Hornets in nineteen ninety after playing four

140
00:08:56,279 --> 00:09:03,840
years at the University of Illinois.
Okay, that's that's not good enough for

141
00:09:03,879 --> 00:09:09,399
you. That's it. Just number
five for Charlotte Illinois. I'm totally thrown

142
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,759
by. I can't think of an
Illinois player. All right, number five

143
00:09:11,799 --> 00:09:13,919
in nineteen ninety, Go ahead,
clue number two. I played for fifteen

144
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:18,759
seasons across eight teams, twelve of
which were spread across the Hornets, the

145
00:09:18,799 --> 00:09:22,440
Nets, and the Sonics. God, I miss what a badass team name?

146
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:26,080
Bring back the Sonics already? Yeah, Hornets, Nets and Sonics.

147
00:09:26,519 --> 00:09:33,879
Nineteen ninety Illinois, I got nothing
really Okay, this if you don't so

148
00:09:35,279 --> 00:09:37,120
they said, if you didn't get
it by the end, they would be

149
00:09:37,159 --> 00:09:39,559
shocked. I said, if you
didn't get it after this clue, that

150
00:09:39,639 --> 00:09:45,440
you deserve to be ridiculed. So
this is pretty The clue in question is

151
00:09:45,519 --> 00:09:48,960
upcoming right now. Yeah, this
is the one that I think you should

152
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:52,399
that you should get it on.
My best season was nineteen ninety six to

153
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,919
ninety seven with the Nets, where
I averaged twenty one point eight points,

154
00:09:54,919 --> 00:09:58,279
six point one rebounds, four assists, one point nine steals. I was

155
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:05,720
not not an All Star in this
season or any other. Oh Gohly Illinois.

156
00:10:05,799 --> 00:10:11,600
Number five ninety six ninety seven was
his best year. It averaged like

157
00:10:11,919 --> 00:10:18,519
twenty six twenty six and something.
He averaged twenty one point eight point six

158
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:24,519
rebounds, four assists, one point
nine steals. This is on the Nets

159
00:10:24,519 --> 00:10:28,480
in ninety six ninety seven. Rack
I don't. Now I'm trying to think

160
00:10:28,519 --> 00:10:31,639
of I know, I know who
gave this clue, and now I'm just

161
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:33,639
trying to think of, like,
who would he try to embarrass me by

162
00:10:33,639 --> 00:10:39,720
making me guess or that I should
know on the fourth clue. Sure,

163
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:43,919
I was All Rookie First Team in
ninety ninety one and competed in the Dunk

164
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:48,720
Contest, but unfortunately didn't advance past
the first round and watched Dee Brown win

165
00:10:48,799 --> 00:10:52,600
it with the worst winning dunk ever. That was the worst that then I

166
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:56,120
remember the dunk that is accurate,
the shield, the shield of the eyes

167
00:10:56,159 --> 00:11:01,759
thing where he could totally see.
Uh, Hornets, give me the three

168
00:11:01,799 --> 00:11:05,559
teams again? Sorry, no,
this is great. So Hornets, Nets,

169
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:13,600
and Sonics accounted for twelve of his
fifteen seasons. Why can't I think

170
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:20,039
of Charlotte picking fifth in nineteen ninety
and he wasn't any good really until the

171
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:24,720
Nets in ninety six ninety seven.
God, I got a sleep more.

172
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,399
I can't even, I don't even, I don't have anything. Do you

173
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,840
have any clues you want to throw
in? You? Would you get there?

174
00:11:31,039 --> 00:11:33,440
There's two more? Well, there's
three more. Yeah, I'm gonna

175
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:37,600
need them all keep them coming.
Well, there's actually four more? Can

176
00:11:37,639 --> 00:11:39,200
I get like ten more? Yeah? So I was all, oh,

177
00:11:39,279 --> 00:11:43,440
no, I gave you this one. So considered to be a tenacious defender.

178
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,600
I led the NBA in steals in
nineteen ninety eight nineteen ninety nine with

179
00:11:46,639 --> 00:11:52,360
two point seven per game. That's
a lockout season. That's impress embarrassed right

180
00:11:52,399 --> 00:11:54,200
now, that one. I didn't
think that one. I never would have

181
00:11:54,200 --> 00:12:00,360
gotten. So this guy's also getting
a million steals in addition to twenty points

182
00:12:00,399 --> 00:12:03,639
and six boards. And okay,
keep it going. After retiring, this

183
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:07,639
is clue number six. After retiring, I became a professional boxer at age

184
00:12:07,639 --> 00:12:11,960
thirty seven. Oh is this just
Kendall Gill? Is it just Kendall Gill?

185
00:12:13,519 --> 00:12:18,879
Get there? This been my first
guess the final course. Guess what

186
00:12:18,879 --> 00:12:22,559
the final clue is? Yeah,
go ahead. In fantasy basketball, qualified

187
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:30,240
as both a garden a forward.
No, No, it was thanks Bill

188
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,559
that one. If you give me
it was. Whether I was a guard

189
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:35,519
or forward was a common topic of
debate between Grant's roommates at Santa Clara.

190
00:12:35,879 --> 00:12:39,279
Had you led with that, I
would have got them right away. All

191
00:12:39,399 --> 00:12:41,840
right, Wow, poor showing by
me. Good clues. This is all

192
00:12:41,879 --> 00:12:46,759
my fault. Okay, he speaking
of my dog's being assholes. Do you

193
00:12:46,759 --> 00:12:48,200
hear them in the background, No, I was just talking through it.

194
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:52,399
I didn't. I couldn't hear them
over the sound of my crushing failure.

195
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:56,799
Uh, don't worry. I'm ready
to embarrass myself. This one is.

196
00:12:56,080 --> 00:13:00,840
This one is difficult, So I
might pepper in like a couple of what

197
00:13:00,919 --> 00:13:07,840
I hope are helpful clues. So
this is from Mike Herrenchian. Again,

198
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,320
this is interesting. You gave me
a Charlotte Hornets guy. First clue.

199
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:16,360
I was a lottery pick of the
Charlotte Bobcats. Yeah, well, but

200
00:13:16,399 --> 00:13:18,919
this is the Bobcats, so it
narrows the era that it could have been

201
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:22,799
like pretty tightly. Right. I'm
a former top twenty recruit in the country.

202
00:13:24,159 --> 00:13:31,000
How are you on high school basketball
recruit ranking? I attended a blue

203
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:37,360
blood ACC school. I was never
much of a scorer in the NBA,

204
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:41,600
but I regularly would explode for huge
offensive games against the Toronto Raptors for some

205
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:45,559
reason. It's not gonna help you, No, it's not. I was

206
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,120
gonna guess. I don't even think
he played for the Hornets. The name

207
00:13:48,159 --> 00:13:50,480
of Courtney Lee. No, that's
a good guess. This is the Bobcats

208
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:58,120
though. By the way, remember
I was traded for Nick Patoom. I

209
00:13:58,399 --> 00:14:03,200
fucking know this one. He was
he's he was a Blazer ohen they got

210
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:07,200
him? Oh Noah Bonley, No, this is a the bobcast. Wow,

211
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:11,039
that was dumb. He was like, this person's older than that than

212
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,919
Vondley. I think, yeah,
yeah, he is. Okay. Uh.

213
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,919
I was a member of the Sixers
when the process started not being terrible.

214
00:14:18,799 --> 00:14:22,279
And this is kind of tricky because
it's towards the end of this guy's

215
00:14:22,279 --> 00:14:28,679
career, which I think is like
twenty sixteen, seventeen. I'll give it.

216
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,840
So let's see a couple of things
I would throw in. Uh,

217
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:37,720
this guy was super athletic. Daniels. No, that's a great guest.

218
00:14:37,559 --> 00:14:41,639
I just want to have his name. I'm missing His father with the same

219
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:46,919
name also played in the NBA.
That's my clue. Trying to help you.

220
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,559
Uh, last one. If you
haven't got it, you may not

221
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:54,159
get it. I officially retired two
years after my last game due to injuries.

222
00:14:54,159 --> 00:14:58,519
So this was someone that like was
pretty durable and then got got hurt

223
00:14:58,559 --> 00:15:03,200
and then trying to come back and
come back and just like it just didn't

224
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:05,240
happen. So he didn't retire until
two years after his last game because he

225
00:15:05,279 --> 00:15:09,720
kept trying to make it back.
I got nothing. Okay, this is

226
00:15:09,799 --> 00:15:16,320
Gerald Henderson. Oh, Okay,
were like if those needed to be a

227
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:20,600
Batum trade package? Got because like
I should remember the Batum trade package.

228
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:24,720
Yeah, but like this was kind
of it's kind of a perfect one because

229
00:15:24,759 --> 00:15:28,840
it's right, like it's I guess
like most of the relevant information is like

230
00:15:28,879 --> 00:15:33,759
slightly over ten years old in terms
of like his college career and and uh

231
00:15:33,039 --> 00:15:35,440
when he entered the league. But
yeah, I don't know if I would

232
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,759
have got that one either. That
those are That's a tough one. That's

233
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:43,759
that's the kind of difficulty we need
on this podcast. I have one from

234
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:48,600
Mike as well for you. Okay, I attended Murray State University. Joh

235
00:15:48,679 --> 00:15:52,559
Morant it is it is not him. Did he go to Murray State?

236
00:15:52,639 --> 00:15:56,039
I hope he did. Ja Morant
went to Murray State, didn't he?

237
00:15:56,279 --> 00:16:00,960
I think? So. I'm terrible
at college. I was a second round

238
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:11,720
pick. I played eleven years in
the NBA. Got nothing. I never

239
00:16:11,799 --> 00:16:17,320
played on the same team for more
than three seasons. Hmm, this one,

240
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,759
this one's wild. Despite being six' eight, I have zero career

241
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:30,039
dunks. Whoa, well, that's
Murray State eleven years. No dunks'd be

242
00:16:30,039 --> 00:16:33,159
a that'd be a great name.
Oh there is a no Dunks podcast.

243
00:16:33,039 --> 00:16:42,159
Sorry. I have two sons that
play in the NHL. Oh, whoa,

244
00:16:44,039 --> 00:16:45,480
oh we have are we? Are
we dealing with the Canadian here?

245
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:52,279
I am? Oh? Uh?
Is this Steve Novak? It is not.

246
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:59,159
I'm a current assistant coach in the
NBA. Okay, and this is

247
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:03,759
the last clue. I won my
first career NBA championship last season with the

248
00:17:03,839 --> 00:17:11,880
Nuggets. Oh, as an assistant
coach. Not, you're no problem.

249
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:17,880
Uh, I can add one of
my own that's not that's not related to

250
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:22,880
their career. Okay, but my
clue would be Spinach. Oh, Popy

251
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:27,720
Jones, Yeah, there you go. He never dunked. I looked after

252
00:17:27,759 --> 00:17:30,759
Mike sent it to me, actually
looked it up because I was like,

253
00:17:30,799 --> 00:17:34,759
there's no fucking way. Uh.
And per Basketball Reference, zero dunks.

254
00:17:36,519 --> 00:17:42,160
Unbelievable. Okay, man, we're
really cranking up the difficulty. We're I

255
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:47,079
mean, I don't know what series
of clues I would have needed like spinach

256
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,680
was clearly the best clue, but
that's not really within the spirit of the

257
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,920
game. If that would have would
you've gotten it if that was just the

258
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:57,799
first clue? Yeah, I think
so I have more. I have a

259
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:06,119
couple more from uh Rubik scal why
not? So let's start. This is

260
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:12,279
a trivia one who has more?
Oh my god? Okay, who has

261
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:22,079
more regular season threes? Players named
Curry not including Wardell Steph Curry Wardell Stephan

262
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:29,359
Curry aka Steph Curry. Players named
Miller not including reginald Wayne Miller aka Reggie

263
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:34,799
Miller, or see players named Allen, not including Walter Ray Allen aka Ray

264
00:18:34,799 --> 00:18:38,359
Allen. Okay, For the purpose
of this question some background, we are

265
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:45,119
ignoring ABA threes. We are counting
players with Miller, Curry, and Allen

266
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,039
as their first name as well as
last name. If there were a player

267
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:52,799
named Curry Miller, his threes would
count to the Curry total as well as

268
00:18:52,799 --> 00:18:55,359
the Miller. Oh my god,
I feel like I need one of those

269
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:59,680
like red yarn charts to solve this
right now on a corkboard. This is

270
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,119
possible. You might as well just
take a stab of the I got a

271
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,799
one in three chance, right,
So yeah, it really kind of so

272
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:07,880
the Curry one is tempting. I'm
just gonna talk you through because this is

273
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:12,440
you know, this certainly isn't meant
to be a quick hitting segment, uh

274
00:19:15,039 --> 00:19:18,160
explained as you're working through it.
It should be like the Charlie Day memes

275
00:19:18,279 --> 00:19:23,160
exactly, or yeah, beautiful mind
where like stuff appears. Cut this together

276
00:19:23,279 --> 00:19:30,480
and post and just and put like
CGI math equations over my face as I

277
00:19:30,559 --> 00:19:33,680
do this. So I get del
Curry and Seth Curry, and also there's

278
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:41,200
like Michael Curry and probably some others
for the Curries. The Miller's is interesting

279
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,720
because that's such a common name.
But I'm struggling to think of a bunch

280
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:49,559
of NBA Millers like Oliver Miller.
Sure sure wasn't hitting threes. Alan's interesting

281
00:19:49,559 --> 00:19:52,880
because you get Grayson, he's had
some threes, and he's played his whole

282
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:57,319
career in the three point era.
You get who like Tony Allen did not

283
00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:03,240
hit a lot of threes. I'm
kind of Allan is tempting, but I

284
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:07,240
think I, hmmm, if it
was Curry, you wouldn't put Curry the

285
00:20:07,319 --> 00:20:11,920
Curry's on here because that's too love
this that you're just talking yourself through this

286
00:20:11,039 --> 00:20:15,640
right now. Lit circles, total
circles. It's a let's see, I'm

287
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:22,440
gonna just say, I'm gonna say
Allen for no good reason at all coming

288
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:26,640
in in third place built some suspense. The Curries, okay, one hundred

289
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:30,599
and fifty made threes, led by
dell At twelve forty five and Seth eight

290
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:37,880
twenty four. Okay, coming in
in second place. The Millers, hey,

291
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:41,240
yeah, three hundred and thirty five
threes, led by Mike Miller's fifteen

292
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:45,720
ninety and Darius Miller's three forty four. But the winner is Grant Hughes is

293
00:20:45,759 --> 00:20:48,119
really the winner. The Allens have
two thousand, four hundred and sixty seven

294
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:53,359
made threes, led by Alan Iverson
has over one thousand sixty. Do you

295
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:57,680
want to know who's second among Allen's, Well, I totally forgot the first

296
00:20:57,759 --> 00:21:00,839
name part of it. So that's
have been the clue because Curry and Miller

297
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:04,640
are not first names. That Allen
was the clear correct choice. No,

298
00:21:04,799 --> 00:21:11,359
Who's number two? Alan crab At
six seventeen and then Grayson Allen leads last

299
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,559
name Allen's with five hundred and one. Okay, Okay, Wow, so

300
00:21:14,599 --> 00:21:18,680
I blew it on rule comprehension but
still got there through luck mostly. Okay,

301
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,680
I think there's let me see,
I think I got a couple.

302
00:21:22,759 --> 00:21:27,000
I have another one from Ruby Scal
who has they she's got receipts. Okay.

303
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:32,119
He brought up something that I wrote
aside from the Frank Neil Akina thing

304
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:36,319
or no, it wasn't. The
whatever one you did last time was about

305
00:21:36,319 --> 00:21:38,359
an article I wrote. Who was
it? It was Brandon Jennings Jennings Yeah.

306
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:42,559
And then someone asked in the mail
bag about my like the origin of

307
00:21:42,599 --> 00:21:48,400
my love for Frankielakina, and Ruby
Scal had something I wrote about Frank Neilakina

308
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:52,680
at the about NBA players that we
should stand for who you wouldn't normally stand

309
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:56,559
for. I don't remember writing that
thing. Well, that all those old

310
00:21:56,599 --> 00:22:00,519
br articles are sometimes really hard to
find, like they get they get scrubbed

311
00:22:00,519 --> 00:22:03,200
from the internet. If you,
I mean, we both go are going

312
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:07,319
back ten plus years. So there's
all kinds of boy, we don't want

313
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:11,759
to open this this pane searching old
content from hopefully there's nothing. There was

314
00:22:11,759 --> 00:22:15,000
something I wrote that was pretty insensitive
once. Oh, yeah, Royce right

315
00:22:15,079 --> 00:22:18,880
White, that's someone DM me about. And I was like, I could

316
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:22,240
not believe if this isn't the interest
of full disclosure. I asked Bleach Report

317
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,599
to take it down because I thought
I couldn't believe it was published. And

318
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:29,880
I said, wow, I was. I was probably not even twenty yet

319
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,279
where I was in my like I
was in college still, and I just

320
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:40,799
wanted to stand out. It was
embarrassing and probably read it. No guess

321
00:22:40,799 --> 00:22:42,240
what, I have a guess who
and it's Royce White. No, no

322
00:22:42,279 --> 00:22:47,680
one should be confronted with, uh
what their job performance of a long time

323
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:51,720
ago. That's a that's a hard
rule. Uh, let's do well,

324
00:22:51,839 --> 00:22:53,599
we have a few more from Rubik
Scale. Maybe we should save them.

325
00:22:53,799 --> 00:22:56,160
Well, there's two more, so
let's just use them. Okay, are

326
00:22:56,160 --> 00:23:00,960
you ready? These are Guessa players. Okay. Clue number one, I've

327
00:23:00,039 --> 00:23:03,960
led the league in total points scored
at the end of a regular season,

328
00:23:03,039 --> 00:23:11,960
yet I don't have a scoring title. Hmm is it Tatum? No,

329
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:15,119
good guess though? Number Clue number
two, I have led the league in

330
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:18,160
total assists for two straight seasons that
I don't have an assist title. Trey

331
00:23:18,839 --> 00:23:22,480
Yes, Ice Tray Wow, two
of eight clues, rub got eight for

332
00:23:22,599 --> 00:23:27,319
you. That's one of them.
I always cite that one off. He's

333
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,599
led the league in total assists a
couple of times, so that was that

334
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:33,960
was a something. If that was
put on a t for me on purpose,

335
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:37,319
Thank you, Rubik Scale. I
need I need the confidence. I

336
00:23:37,319 --> 00:23:41,279
won't go through the other six clues, but just because there's so many of

337
00:23:41,279 --> 00:23:42,480
them, this one was interesting.
This would have been clue number four.

338
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,319
Uh well, actually clue number three
was fun too. I'm one of two

339
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,240
players that have led the league in
total points as well as total assists at

340
00:23:49,279 --> 00:23:52,440
the end of a season. The
other is Tiny Archibald oh so him and

341
00:23:52,599 --> 00:23:57,480
Ice Tray. I'm among the top
ten players with the most forty point ten

342
00:23:57,519 --> 00:24:02,319
assist games. Below me are Michael
Jordan, Larry Bird, Nicole Jokich,

343
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:07,119
and Isaiah Thomas Man what a crazy
Airic Detroit. Isaiah Thomas Yeah and yeah,

344
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:11,359
that was a good good job by
you. Yeah, you would have

345
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:15,079
gotten it if you didn't get it
by because I don't know if three or

346
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:18,440
four would have helped you. You've
gotten it by like clue six. Despite

347
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:21,559
all these achievements, the only NBA
awards I've received are all rookie and all

348
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:23,720
NBA Third Team. I think you
would have known it on that. Maybe

349
00:24:23,759 --> 00:24:29,960
I don't know this got me okay, Final one. Clue number one,

350
00:24:30,039 --> 00:24:34,119
I have played fewer than two hundred
regular season games and started fewer than fifty

351
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:37,960
of them. I don't know why
you would know it already. If you

352
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:41,799
do, I'm calling Shanani. I
definitely don't. Clue number two. I've

353
00:24:41,799 --> 00:24:45,839
played forty two plus minutes only three
times in my career. On all three

354
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:48,799
occasions, my team won the game. Unfortunately, none of my coaches caught

355
00:24:48,839 --> 00:24:52,759
on to this shore fire winning strategy
of playing me forty two plus minutes every

356
00:24:52,799 --> 00:24:57,279
game. Okay, based on how
little I played Clue number three, you

357
00:24:57,319 --> 00:25:02,200
may think I'm a loser, but
I actually I have three championship rings won

358
00:25:02,279 --> 00:25:10,279
in my first three years in the
league. Three rings, Okay, keep

359
00:25:10,319 --> 00:25:15,200
going. My first two rings Clue
number four were with Team X and my

360
00:25:15,319 --> 00:25:19,400
third ring was one against Team X
in the finals. This is the one

361
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,519
grant, this is the one I'm
supposed to get it on, in my

362
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:27,119
opinion. So your first two were
with Team X, and then the third

363
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:30,640
came as a member of the team
that beat Team X in the finals.

364
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,599
Yes, so tam X is the
same team and if you haven't caught on,

365
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:38,599
yeah, is the same team every
time. Uh oh, this is

366
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:41,599
uh this is Patrick McCaw. There
you go. That. Did I give

367
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:45,720
it away by saying t X is
this? Well? I ye. At

368
00:25:45,759 --> 00:25:48,079
first I was kind of thinking,
well, it's god of who was on

369
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:49,680
the Cavs and the Warriors, and
it's like, well, Richard Jefferson was,

370
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,839
but he definitely did not win titles
in his first three years. Uh

371
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:56,640
okay, great, Yeah, that
that Team X I kind of needed,

372
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,480
I think because I was not I
was lost in time there. I didn't

373
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:03,279
know where we were jumping to Clue
eight. The career summary is actually really

374
00:26:03,319 --> 00:26:07,599
funny from Ruby scal two hundred and
thirty one NBA games played regular season plus

375
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:12,519
playoffs over five years, three rings
with two teams out of the league.

376
00:26:12,799 --> 00:26:17,720
Yeah, I speaking of not dredging
up old thoughts. I'm I don't know

377
00:26:17,759 --> 00:26:21,440
this for sure, but I'm willing
to bet I said some outlandishly positive things

378
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:25,359
about Patrick McCaw. At some point, would you would you like some spectacular

379
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:27,359
news, rubek Scale said, If
you didn't get it, by clue number

380
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:32,720
three, your warrior, your dub
nation membership was going to be revoked.

381
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:34,640
You got about clue number three?
I get to stay. No, I

382
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:40,640
mean close. It was a tight
one there. Okay, I let's see

383
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:42,359
you got any more? Can I
give you some guess I'm done with guests

384
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:45,640
of players unless you have any that
people sent you. No, I that's

385
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:49,240
it for guessa players. Impressed that
someone reached you on social media? That

386
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:55,799
might dm uh message me on discord
and you saw it? Did he do

387
00:26:55,839 --> 00:26:59,920
it in twenty twenty two in my
bi weekly check of Discord sometimes just weekly?

388
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,640
Uh? There it was so uh
yeah that I I will check it

389
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:07,480
sometimes. So uh you can do
that? I mean, should I just

390
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:11,759
get my phone number out because like, no, don't do that. I

391
00:27:11,839 --> 00:27:18,359
can nasty ass YouTube comments that don't
do it? Yeah? Okay, so

392
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:22,240
let's see what did I want to
get to here? First? I got

393
00:27:22,319 --> 00:27:26,839
just like a potpourri here of some
all types of different questions. Okay,

394
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:30,480
this is a this is the Cam
Thomas question, because we just need to

395
00:27:30,519 --> 00:27:34,000
talk about him. He's averaging over
twenty eight points and under three assists.

396
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,039
That's rare. Dan, you should
be aware of that. You're trying to

397
00:27:37,079 --> 00:27:41,640
get me to guess Cam Thomas,
and I was he just brain fart here

398
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,599
And now I see where this is
always always a possibility, but no,

399
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:48,319
in this case, no, Uh, who's the last guard to average over

400
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:52,559
twenty five points and under three assists? I will give you options because that's

401
00:27:52,599 --> 00:27:57,160
a hard question. Uh, Michael
Jordan, Paul Pierce, Michael Red,

402
00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:02,920
or DeMar Derozen over twenty five points
under three assists. This does not happen

403
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:06,240
often. I feel like you might
be trying to trick me. But I'm

404
00:28:06,279 --> 00:28:08,599
gonna say, Michael Red, you
are correct. I was trying to trick

405
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,519
you, and you're also correct.
That is Michael Red. Those other guys

406
00:28:11,559 --> 00:28:15,279
were like twenty five and just over
three assists. Because Damar was the one

407
00:28:15,279 --> 00:28:18,799
that was most tempting for you because
he wasn't always this high volume, really

408
00:28:18,839 --> 00:28:22,359
good pass right, That's why,
Oh, he's trying to get me.

409
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,440
I think it's raptors. I don't
have it in front of me anymore.

410
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:26,640
I just put it on a doc. But I think it's raptors. Derozen

411
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:30,759
that was like twenty eight and like
three point four or like three point one

412
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:36,720
or something. Okay, let's see, Dan, ten players have at least

413
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:41,200
ten twenty five plus point per game
seasons in their careers. So ten guys

414
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:45,119
have have averaged over twenty five a
game in ten different seasons, at least

415
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:49,759
ten different seasons. Can you name
five of them in at least ten different

416
00:28:49,759 --> 00:29:00,559
seasons? Okay, Wilt, Nope? What I think? Kareem, Kareem,

417
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,160
Yeah, it's possible. Wilt should
be on here and I fucked it

418
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:07,720
up, but Kareem correct. But
yeah, Lebron, Lebron has twenty.

419
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:11,599
He's the leader. That's a oh. Man, Lebron's longevity really is absurd.

420
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:15,119
For all the jokes that people and
like the Lakers are, you know,

421
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:18,759
being public about the way that they're
battling, you know, calls yeah

422
00:29:18,799 --> 00:29:23,319
with the rest, but man,
Lebron's longevity is just wild crazy. It's

423
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:29,440
ten times. Has Kevin Durant don
it ten times? Fifteen times? He's

424
00:29:29,519 --> 00:29:33,240
number two? Kobe, Kobe's number
three at twelve. You asked me how

425
00:29:33,279 --> 00:29:36,680
many of I named, You've got
four. You only need one more.

426
00:29:36,839 --> 00:29:38,160
But I already had a wrong guess, which is disappointing. I was trying

427
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:42,759
to think perfect about it. You
shouldn't overthink this. I'm calling to though.

428
00:29:42,839 --> 00:29:45,920
That's the problem. But here's what
I know. It's not Luca.

429
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,480
He hasn't been in the league long
enough. No of that for I just

430
00:29:49,519 --> 00:29:53,359
need to think, is it.
I don't want to I know this person

431
00:29:53,359 --> 00:29:56,160
will be on it, but I
don't want to say their names. I

432
00:29:56,160 --> 00:30:02,359
don't like them, so I'm not
going to say that one. Now we're

433
00:30:02,359 --> 00:30:04,160
getting to the point where it's like, no, I can't like. I

434
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:10,039
just need to say, is it
James Harden, No, Russ No,

435
00:30:10,039 --> 00:30:11,519
none of this. This player is
not None of these players are active.

436
00:30:11,839 --> 00:30:18,680
Besides them, you've already named I
said Kareem, right, you did.

437
00:30:18,759 --> 00:30:25,319
You got Kareem Lebron Durant, and
Kobe Shaq. Shaq is one. Yeah,

438
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:33,119
you didn't say Michael Jordan. I'm
trying to think. So it's it's

439
00:30:33,119 --> 00:30:37,000
a it's a usual suspect, so
you got uh, let's see. So

440
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:41,640
the other ones are Jerry West,
Alan Iverson. Iverson quietly shows up on

441
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:45,480
a lot of these. I feel
like he went from being super overrated like

442
00:30:45,599 --> 00:30:49,519
during his career to maybe now underrated
after it, if that makes any sense,

443
00:30:49,559 --> 00:30:52,400
Because he keeps showing up on all
these all these lists we do,

444
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:56,319
and then Dominique Wilkins, I think
is the only one I didn't mention stupid

445
00:30:56,359 --> 00:31:00,079
as wilt with only eight seasons of
it upset. I never would have got

446
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:03,519
Dominique Wilkins not getting Jordan's egregious.
It's it's interesting how being on the spot

447
00:31:03,559 --> 00:31:07,640
with some of these, just like
because that's one that we should both just

448
00:31:07,039 --> 00:31:10,799
I'm telling you, yeah, no, no, it's always if you're on

449
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:14,640
the question asking end of it,
it's like, what is wrong with this

450
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:18,200
guy? Why can't it's Kendall Gill
obviously just say Kendall Gill. But it

451
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:22,960
just it does it's different. It's
it's just really goes to show that we're

452
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:26,359
not pressure performers. Okay, I
have some over unders for you, just

453
00:31:26,359 --> 00:31:29,039
for fun, I don't know,
just so we'll never look at these again.

454
00:31:29,079 --> 00:31:32,920
But are they more Victor one?
But Yama, No, I used

455
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:37,119
up all of those all right?
Cam Thomas second appearance on stat padding over

456
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:38,839
under twenty five and a half points
per game this season. What will we

457
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:44,079
finish with, Oh, don't make
me do this. I'm gonna say under.

458
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:48,119
Yeah, I think you gotta say
under. That's a lot even though

459
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:52,359
that guy is a bucket, even
with you already have Jacques Vaughan had talked

460
00:31:52,359 --> 00:31:55,119
about how everyone's in minutes, they're
gonna be kept in jack all year.

461
00:31:55,319 --> 00:32:00,240
That's you know, all right,
Chris Paul Over under thirty point five five

462
00:32:00,319 --> 00:32:04,519
percent three point shooting. Oh,
Over, he'll be fine. He's like

463
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:07,519
one for twenty five to start.
But I think, yeah, yeah,

464
00:32:07,559 --> 00:32:12,000
but you know they have they've won
the minutes without Steph Curry that he's played.

465
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:15,279
I haven't heard that and definitely haven't
written that, like fourteen times in

466
00:32:15,279 --> 00:32:20,440
the last couple weeks. Uh,
speaking of over under four hundred and two

467
00:32:20,519 --> 00:32:22,599
made three pointers for Steph Curry.
That is the record. By the way,

468
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:27,960
would you like to know the pace
he's on? Give me give me

469
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,960
the pace? How many games?
Can you also give me how many games

470
00:32:30,039 --> 00:32:32,839
it would take him to get there? What I can tell you is that

471
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:37,559
if he plays seventy games at his
current pace of makes seventy games, he'll

472
00:32:37,559 --> 00:32:45,559
get to four to eleven. I
will say he just doesn't. Typically there's

473
00:32:45,599 --> 00:32:49,160
always something with him where it's,
oh, he ends up missing fifteen games

474
00:32:49,279 --> 00:32:52,039
or whatever it is. I'm just
gonna say over because there's I don't want

475
00:32:52,079 --> 00:32:55,240
it to press you here, but
doesn't it kind of feel like there's a

476
00:32:55,279 --> 00:33:00,359
sense of finality in Golden State.
Bob Myers has already left, traded,

477
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:04,559
Jordan Poole, Chris Paul is on
the team, Klay Thompson's entering free agency

478
00:33:04,559 --> 00:33:07,480
as of right now. After this
this season, it's just like this might

479
00:33:07,519 --> 00:33:09,519
be the year that they just just
and he's leading the I mean, when

480
00:33:09,519 --> 00:33:13,359
you're talking about the top MVP candidates
right now, we got people were mad

481
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:15,599
at me because I left Jokic.
I meant to say the most complete score

482
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:20,279
when I was talking about Jason Tatum
and I kept saying most complete offensive player.

483
00:33:21,799 --> 00:33:25,799
I didn't name Jokic. He is, But between Jokic and Curry are

484
00:33:25,799 --> 00:33:30,240
probably the top two. It's way
too early because you can name what about

485
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:36,759
this guy year? Yeah sure,
but uh like Curry is in the very

486
00:33:36,759 --> 00:33:38,680
early like like he was last year, where I think a lot of people

487
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:43,559
had him as their MVP even before
Jokic and Giannis took over that NMB took

488
00:33:43,559 --> 00:33:45,720
over that fight. Yeah. No, I think I think he's going for

489
00:33:45,799 --> 00:33:50,079
it, like I think he's he's
consciously trying to shoot more threes this year,

490
00:33:50,079 --> 00:33:54,559
I think, and he's getting better
looks just because yeah, he's it's

491
00:33:54,599 --> 00:33:58,599
looked, it's looking pretty good.
But that's like, that's a stupid number.

492
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:00,400
Over four hundred. I'm gonna take
it. I'm taking the over.

493
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:02,559
I want to go over to because
I'm on that. What would be the

494
00:34:02,599 --> 00:34:08,239
actual line on over four I'm you
bet on everything, okay? Last one

495
00:34:08,559 --> 00:34:14,920
of the over runners uh over under
eleven point five rebounds per game for DeAndre

496
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,960
Ayden, who currently sits at thirteen
point three. I'm gonna take the over.

497
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:22,480
I'm gonna tell you why. Oh, that is the only way that

498
00:34:22,519 --> 00:34:25,400
he is gonna score points hitting the
offensive. Last, he doesn't have people

499
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:29,719
who can get on the ball.
He's actually running like he's in the post.

500
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:31,760
Like he's getting fewer post ups as
a frequency of his possessions than he

501
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:37,039
was last year. And so just
when and also inherently he's not only dependent

502
00:34:37,159 --> 00:34:40,679
on people getting him the ball,
they kind of need to set him up

503
00:34:40,679 --> 00:34:44,159
a lot for finishing. He just
doesn't have I know, Malcolm Brogden's there,

504
00:34:44,159 --> 00:34:46,079
but Anthony Simon's is injured, Scoot
Henderson's banged up and is a rookie

505
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:50,199
right now, Shandon Sharp is still
kind of figuring things out as a as

506
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:53,159
a passer. If he wants to
get points, he's gonna need to crash

507
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:57,320
the offensive glass, so forget about
the defensive stuff like, he's gonna need

508
00:34:57,360 --> 00:34:59,639
to be on the offensive glass.
So I'm gonna take I'm gonna take the

509
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:02,760
over. I like it. That's
a lot more like logical think through than

510
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:07,320
we normally get for these, and
I'm including myself in that. Let's see.

511
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:10,119
Okay, we're getting into the we
haven't gotten to the one I teased

512
00:35:10,159 --> 00:35:15,440
you with that I hope will ruin
your brain and probably won't be any good,

513
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:17,639
but I'm gonna build up to that. So let's see. Dan,

514
00:35:19,199 --> 00:35:22,079
you're down one point. Do you
choose, and somebody, if this is

515
00:35:22,119 --> 00:35:25,880
another one of those the shot must
be made or the best the points must

516
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:30,559
be scored, do you choose Draymond
Green shooting a three with an actual backpack

517
00:35:30,599 --> 00:35:35,800
on or Ben Simmons at the free
throw line for two shots? Okay,

518
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:39,639
so wait, it's not complicated.
Run it back, run it back.

519
00:35:40,519 --> 00:35:44,239
Your team is down one point,
and for some reason, you have both

520
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:46,920
Draymond Green and Ben Simmons on the
squad. Draymond Green is wearing an actual

521
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:52,000
backpack. Down one, Do you
want Draymond shooting a three with the backpack

522
00:35:52,039 --> 00:35:54,760
on? Or do you want Ben
Simmons at the line for two free throws?

523
00:35:55,719 --> 00:36:00,519
Down one? Down one? I
want Ben Simmons at the line for

524
00:36:00,559 --> 00:36:04,960
two free throws, so bold.
This is why it's a good question,

525
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,480
because there's not a great answer.
No, But I'm just on having the

526
00:36:07,519 --> 00:36:12,360
two opportunities. So throw the actual
percentages out of what he's shooting at the

527
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:15,639
foul line versus Draymond getting a wide
open whatever, Draymond shooting on wide open

528
00:36:15,679 --> 00:36:19,559
threes, which is probably still less
than Ben Simmons's free throw percentage. Well,

529
00:36:19,559 --> 00:36:22,239
and he's got the backpack on.
Who knows how that's gonna affect him.

530
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:24,199
It might help. It's hard to
say that was a good one.

531
00:36:24,559 --> 00:36:28,360
Okay, I got another. You
say that like they usually aren'tdan a little

532
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:32,119
bit offended. Well, I mean
the offbeat ones sometimes are like when we

533
00:36:32,159 --> 00:36:36,199
did the the one I gave to
you, the Chris paul Er Ben Simmons

534
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:37,880
one was actually our most watched video
of all time. Well, that's what

535
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:42,320
I'm going for, because I feel
like there's some SEO and Draymond backpack and

536
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:45,320
Ben Simmons free throw so well,
So don't you don't need to worry about

537
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:47,840
the SEO too much because I literally
I just put I'll put Dre or Ben

538
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:52,280
Simmons is the title, and that's
what I throw shorts. The shorts algorithm

539
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:54,840
takes care of the red. Okay, all right, how about this one?

540
00:36:55,119 --> 00:37:00,519
Which team is better? The one
with Lebron James and play of Steph

541
00:37:00,599 --> 00:37:04,280
Curry on the Dynastic Warriors or the
one with Steph Curry in place of Lebron

542
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:12,440
James on the Heatles. Oh on
the Heatles. It's Lebron with the Dynastic

543
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:16,920
Warriors because think about what Wade kind
of looked like towards the end of that

544
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:21,280
Heatles run and how banged up he
could get. And now you're adding a

545
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:25,960
less durable Steph Curry than Lebron was. So I think it's Lebron with the

546
00:37:27,039 --> 00:37:31,880
Dynastic Warriors. Yeah. I originally
was gonna say Steph and Clay or Steph

547
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:37,559
and Draymond because it seemed unfair to
just do a one for one with Lebron

548
00:37:37,599 --> 00:37:42,760
and Steph. So Stephan Draymond,
this would be interesting because then you bond

549
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,000
Bosh, Wade and Steph. That's
what I'm saying like that, I mean,

550
00:37:45,199 --> 00:37:50,159
obviously either of these teams is ridiculously
good, but that's really interesting.

551
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:53,079
But what is interesting, and this
might be a vote in favor of the

552
00:37:53,079 --> 00:37:57,000
original question, I will include none
of this context. If I cut up

553
00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:01,840
this clip because they don't play that
way? Then can Lebron and Draymond play

554
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:05,880
together? That? I guess the
Dynastic Warriors? Are we including the one?

555
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:09,039
Isn't the one season Draymond shot well
from three? Is that they didn't

556
00:38:09,039 --> 00:38:12,480
win that year? Right? Wasn't
that the seventy three win season? Right?

557
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:15,320
That was fifteen sixteen? Like the
Yeah, that's still part of the

558
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:21,159
Dynastic lore though. It's just so
if you're playing Lebron who's not a non

559
00:38:21,159 --> 00:38:24,119
shooter, but he's not Steph Curry, and then knowing the Draymond Curry connection,

560
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:29,400
and then is is looney like you're
big at that point? Are you

561
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:32,440
just all Draymond at the five?
Because you have Lebron gets really it?

562
00:38:32,519 --> 00:38:37,239
There might be a stronger case for
the Heatals with Curry than I gave.

563
00:38:37,679 --> 00:38:44,199
It sort of very much depends on
which like age version you're getting of these

564
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:49,280
guys, because if it's Curry,
you know, twenty fifteen, sixteen Curry

565
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:53,679
on the twenty eleven, twelve and
twelve thirteen heat or whatever, that's very

566
00:38:53,679 --> 00:38:59,920
different than taking I don't know,
like well, I guess, I don't

567
00:38:59,920 --> 00:39:01,079
know. It depends on who you're
getting, Like well, you meant the

568
00:39:01,159 --> 00:39:05,000
Draymond thing, like depends on what
year of Draymonds you're getting. So it's

569
00:39:05,119 --> 00:39:07,840
very nonspecific. But as a thought
exercise, it is interesting to think about,

570
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:13,719
like what does Steph look like running
an offense with Wade and Bosh,

571
00:39:14,039 --> 00:39:16,760
you know, next to him?
Because Bosh was kind of the prototype of

572
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:20,639
like, hey we're five out now, Like what's that? And if you

573
00:39:20,679 --> 00:39:24,440
throw Steph Curry at the at the
NBA of like twenty eleven, twenty twelve,

574
00:39:24,559 --> 00:39:28,320
I just think and Chris Bosh as
a center of shooting threes, I

575
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:31,679
think everyone just loses their shit and
like doesn't basketball gets canceled because nobody knows

576
00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:36,280
what to do with this. And
it's also just like Wading Curry are so

577
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:39,559
much more of an organic fit Yeh
than Lebron and Wade, right, So

578
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:44,159
I have a similar question, which
is funny that involves Warriors. So I

579
00:39:44,159 --> 00:39:47,599
figure to be right up your alley, let's do it. Which team wins

580
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:52,519
more games? Or which NBA team? And you don't you don't know the

581
00:39:52,519 --> 00:39:58,599
rest of the context, But which
NBA team would win more games one that

582
00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:06,119
has twenty fIF teen twenty sixteen Klay
Thompson as its best player or twenty fifteen

583
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:13,960
twenty sixteen Draymond Green as its best
player hmmm, as its best player.

584
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:19,000
I think I think, in a
round of a weird way, I think

585
00:40:19,119 --> 00:40:23,880
the Draymond Green team wins more games
because if Draymond is your best, like

586
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:27,960
it's not that hard for Draymond to
be your best player, like from a

587
00:40:28,159 --> 00:40:32,960
catch all stats and like overall impact
perspective, and then also be surrounded by

588
00:40:34,079 --> 00:40:37,119
a bunch of other very good like
point scorers and this, that and the

589
00:40:37,199 --> 00:40:42,280
other. But if Clay's your best
player, he's essentially a dependent scorer.

590
00:40:42,559 --> 00:40:45,239
I don't know what that team looks
like. I think you know what I

591
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:49,320
mean. Like, I think if
Clay is your best offensive player, you

592
00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:52,079
need you still need a bunch of
other stuff around him. You need shot

593
00:40:52,119 --> 00:40:54,840
creators and all this suff Draymond would
anchor your defense and could be a distributor,

594
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:58,719
and you just get guys who can
score. So I like, I

595
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:01,639
like the Draymond version as a bigger
winner. Probably is that even a good

596
00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:05,719
question. I was wondering if Draymond
was too In my head, I'm like,

597
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:10,679
Draymond feels independent of Steph and this
Warriors system. Could It's just such

598
00:41:10,679 --> 00:41:15,039
a everything he does defensively will translate. It might be so tough to build

599
00:41:15,039 --> 00:41:19,599
that offense out though, if he
had your best player overall. But I

600
00:41:19,599 --> 00:41:22,119
was wondering if it was still too
easy of a question. Well, it's

601
00:41:22,159 --> 00:41:23,639
I think of like I always,
you know, like I think I've made

602
00:41:23,639 --> 00:41:28,599
the case before that Ben Wallace was
the best player on those Pistons teams that

603
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:31,599
were in the conference finals, like
every year for however many years in a

604
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:35,679
row it was. And I think
Draymond's kind of like that, where,

605
00:41:36,039 --> 00:41:37,639
yeah, you put a bunch of
other good players around him and that team

606
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:40,480
is awesome. But if you have
Clay and a bunch of other good players

607
00:41:40,519 --> 00:41:45,199
and no great ones, I think
your ceiling is probably lower. That's an

608
00:41:45,199 --> 00:41:50,760
interesting one. Let's see, do
you have another one ready to have this?

609
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:52,880
It'll be pretty expensive. So it's
Hall of Fame themed. Would you

610
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:57,159
like to enter the Hall of Fame
themed chamber? We'll call it. I

611
00:41:57,199 --> 00:42:00,360
don't know why I just said that. I'm ready. I have an I

612
00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:04,519
think there's I have fourteen of the
yeas plus a and then there's a couple.

613
00:42:04,519 --> 00:42:07,119
There's two questions, of which one
doesn't belong all Hall of Fame theme.

614
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:13,239
Okay. Basketball Reference has a Hall
of Fame probability meter. Which active

615
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:19,719
NBA player has the higher Hall of
Fame probability? Jimmy Butler or Klay Thompson.

616
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:27,119
Oh, I wish I knew what
if anything went into the Hall of

617
00:42:27,119 --> 00:42:31,920
Fame probability calculator. I will say, Jimmy Butler, Oh, you're wrong,

618
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:35,880
it is is Klay Thompson. It
is Klay tom Oh, no,

619
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:38,599
you're right. I'm sorry. Jimmy
Butler seventy three percent, Klay Thompson seventy

620
00:42:38,599 --> 00:42:43,840
point two percent. Oh, got
so close. Okay, Damar Derozen or

621
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:52,079
Blake Griffin. I'm gonna say,
I'm gonna say that's such a good one.

622
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:55,880
I'll say DeRozan, who are wrong? And it's not even close?

623
00:42:57,079 --> 00:43:00,719
Really rosens at forty four point four
percent. Plake Griffin's fifty four point eight

624
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:02,679
percent. Oh well, Blake,
really, I bet you Blake. I

625
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:06,719
wonder if it counts like MVP shares
or something, because Blake, I think

626
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:12,199
had some top five's in there somewhere. Okay, Rudy Gobert or John Wall.

627
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:15,280
And I know I said active,
but John Wall has yet to retire.

628
00:43:15,519 --> 00:43:19,320
It better be Rudy Gobert. With
all the defensive player of the years.

629
00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:21,960
It is not Rudy Gobert. And
it's not even close. Okay,

630
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:24,599
to Gobert twenty three percent, John
Wall thirty two point four percent. This

631
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:28,920
is going to totally recalibrate how I
think about this now. Okay, I'm

632
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:36,519
ready now, Donovan Mitchell or Jason
Tatum. So now I got to rethink.

633
00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:38,719
It has to be Jason Tatum.
It has to be You're wrong,

634
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:44,599
Donald seven point seven percent, Tatum
seven percent. Oh. I did note

635
00:43:44,679 --> 00:43:46,960
that Mitchell last year became the fastest
player to get to ten thousand points.

636
00:43:47,039 --> 00:43:53,119
Maybe that's all this is based on. Paul George or Kyrie Irving. I

637
00:43:53,119 --> 00:43:59,000
don't know Kyrie. No. Paul
George ninety four point three percent, Kyrie

638
00:43:59,119 --> 00:44:02,199
ninety three point five percent. Paul
George has a ninety something percent. Well,

639
00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:07,519
I mean not in actuality, but
wow, okay uh Giannis attent to

640
00:44:07,599 --> 00:44:14,239
Kumpo or Nicolea Jokic uh Yannis correct
ninety five percent to ninety one point six

641
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:16,599
percent for Jokic. And look,
it's a lot of this is cumulative stuff.

642
00:44:16,639 --> 00:44:20,079
So just on his peak has been
a little bit longer. But still

643
00:44:20,679 --> 00:44:22,599
I'm trying to mix in where they're
not even close versus some of them are

644
00:44:22,639 --> 00:44:27,320
close, because we've had comments where
people want us to have them be further

645
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:30,760
apart for some resin uh it makes
it I guess it makes it better to

646
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:39,840
shame us right eat Draymond Green or
Kawhi Leonard. I think, well,

647
00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:45,519
well, if if cumulative stuff matters, I still gotta say Kawhi, it

648
00:44:45,599 --> 00:44:49,480
is Kawhi seventy seven point seven percent
to seventy six point eight percent. But

649
00:44:49,559 --> 00:44:52,199
we are getting by the way,
we are getting into the dregs. Now,

650
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:54,599
this is fun. The players are
not bad. I want to make

651
00:44:54,639 --> 00:45:02,679
that clear. Bam Adebayo or zach
Lavine. Uh Bam out of Bayo no

652
00:45:04,159 --> 00:45:07,559
zach Lavine point two eight percent chance
bam out of Biyo's point two seven percent.

653
00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:14,880
That seems low. Seem low.
Bradley Beal or Devin Booker. Uh,

654
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:19,519
I'm gonna say Booker, No,
it's Bradley Beal And technically it's not

655
00:45:19,599 --> 00:45:22,719
even close because it's more than double
Bookers. Booker has a one point one

656
00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:25,599
percent chance. Bradley Beal is a
two point three percent chance. Booker averaged

657
00:45:25,639 --> 00:45:29,880
like twenty five a game every year
for like seven in a row. I

658
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:35,559
didn't make the formula. I only
cribit Jalen Brown or Andrew Wiggins. Oh

659
00:45:36,199 --> 00:45:39,199
uh, I'll say Wiggins longer career. No, Jalen Brown point one one

660
00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:44,079
percent, Andrew Wiggins point one percent. How many can I get wrong in

661
00:45:44,079 --> 00:45:49,519
a row? Let's see Derek Rose
or Karl Anthony Towns. Rose has an

662
00:45:49,639 --> 00:45:52,960
MVP. If it's Karl Anthony Towns, We're never doing this again. Okay,

663
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:55,679
it's Karl Anthony Towns ten point eight
percent to ten point five percent.

664
00:45:57,000 --> 00:46:04,639
Okay, two more on this.
Steven Adams Marcus Smart. Uh, I

665
00:46:04,679 --> 00:46:10,719
will say Steven Adams correct point oh
four percent to point oh three percent.

666
00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:15,679
You know how I got that one
by guessing the one I didn't think was

667
00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:22,800
correct? Last one? Brandon Ingram
or Christops porzingis obviously porzingis, yes,

668
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:27,719
point zero three percent, brandon Ingram
point zero two. Now I get it.

669
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:30,159
This is a second instinct game.
You go to go, never go

670
00:46:30,199 --> 00:46:31,320
with your first. Well, let's
see how you do with this one.

671
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:38,559
Which of these NBA players currently has
less than a ninety five percent Hall of

672
00:46:38,559 --> 00:46:45,800
Fame probability rating according to Basketball Reference
Jannis at Tetakoupo, Anthony Davis, James

673
00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:52,599
Harden, Damian Lillard or Russell Westbrook. I wish I remembered what the percentage

674
00:46:52,639 --> 00:46:58,719
was you gave me for Jiannis.
I'm gonna say Lillard, it's Jannis.

675
00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:02,760
I was giving you a freebie and
I blew it. So Jannis has the

676
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:07,320
lowest Hall of Fame possible probability to
have all the names you just mentioned.

677
00:47:07,599 --> 00:47:10,519
Yeah, Lillard being being ahead of
Giannis is wild to me. It's hard.

678
00:47:10,559 --> 00:47:14,760
It's hard to get my head around
that one final Hall of Fame question.

679
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:16,000
And I know you did not like
this segment. I could just tell

680
00:47:16,199 --> 00:47:22,639
that's just hard. Which of these
players does not have at least a one

681
00:47:22,199 --> 00:47:28,280
percent chance of making the Hall of
Fame according to a Basketball Reference. Andre

682
00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:37,000
Drummond DeAndre Jordan Domontes, a Bonis, Pascal Siakam or Nikolo Vucevic. I'm

683
00:47:37,039 --> 00:47:42,159
gonna say sab Bonus just based on
career length. That would be incorrect.

684
00:47:42,199 --> 00:47:47,000
He actually is the highest probability of
the Pascal Siakam point sixty seven percent.

685
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:52,960
We have found the thing I'm worse
at in the world. It's amazing.

686
00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:54,840
That's I've yet to get a guess
a player, right, So there you

687
00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:59,079
go, you found your We both
have our Achilles heel. Oh god,

688
00:47:59,199 --> 00:48:02,960
Okay, let's see. I want
to give you a couple of these here.

689
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:07,000
Some of these are just kind of
open ended because I'm curious and people

690
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:14,280
seem to care about your origin story
generally speaking, So Dan story, Yeah,

691
00:48:14,519 --> 00:48:20,400
just as a basketball fan, uh
what not personally of course? Uh

692
00:48:20,519 --> 00:48:23,639
what rookie were you certain would be
great early in their careers? Or like

693
00:48:23,679 --> 00:48:27,760
when you saw them and then just
wasn't at all? Like who were you

694
00:48:27,880 --> 00:48:30,719
most? Who've you been most wrong
about? You know? With a knee

695
00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:35,480
jerk. This this guy's amazing reaction. So I was convinced that, oh,

696
00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:37,360
as a does it have to be
as a rookie or guess early on?

697
00:48:37,519 --> 00:48:43,519
I'm not necessarily it's kJ McDaniels,
and first of all, we all

698
00:48:43,559 --> 00:48:46,000
know who it is, but well, no, I mean, like his

699
00:48:46,199 --> 00:48:52,400
predated the NBA. Watching kJ McDaniels
just like fill up the box score on

700
00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:55,239
a permanent basis, I was convinced
that he was going I don't know if

701
00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:58,239
I ever said he was going to
be an All Star, but I was

702
00:48:58,320 --> 00:49:02,960
convinced that, like this guy was
the second coming of like Andre Carolinko or

703
00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:07,960
something. I would all over him. That's a great that's way better than

704
00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:15,239
mine because mine is definitely Ben Simmons, because I remember where I was having

705
00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:17,280
watched his like first couple of games, and I was telling everybody that would

706
00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:22,480
listen, this guy is Grant Hill, but bigger and faster, like all

707
00:49:22,599 --> 00:49:24,000
right, yeah, that's like I
was sure, like, oh, I

708
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:28,280
mean, like the scale of how
great I thought he was gonna be based

709
00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:31,440
on like his first two weeks in
the NBA was just like, could not

710
00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:35,960
have been more off if you went
something where I don't know if I ever

711
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:39,840
made an egregious comp for kJ mctange's
if you went with that I compared before

712
00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:46,719
he entered upon entering the NBA that
justin Patton would be a bouncier. Christops

713
00:49:46,719 --> 00:49:52,960
Porzingis. That's a good one.
That's a good one. I also have

714
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:55,679
a similar one. Uh, this
is more recent and it's it's even more

715
00:49:55,719 --> 00:50:00,800
embarrassing. Uh. You know how
on on League Pass, sometimes if you

716
00:50:00,119 --> 00:50:04,880
flip the game on early, you
can see players like doing their individual workouts

717
00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:07,760
on the court before the game with
I don't watch games, so okay,

718
00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:09,719
you don't watch games, let me
tell you sometimes that happens. And I

719
00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:15,000
saw James Wiseman doing like one on
ones with his like six foot two,

720
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:19,599
you know, fifty year old assistant
coach. And I definitely invoked the name

721
00:50:19,719 --> 00:50:24,199
David Robinson in describing like what he
looked like as an athlete. That that'd

722
00:50:24,239 --> 00:50:28,679
be a good other question, By
the way, who has the most convincing

723
00:50:29,239 --> 00:50:34,559
empty gym or empty run videos?
I mean there's it's gotta be the production

724
00:50:34,639 --> 00:50:38,960
quality just off the charts. Yeah
right, yeah, oh man, justin

725
00:50:39,079 --> 00:50:44,280
patent, that's a deep pull.
Okay. The only ones I have left

726
00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:49,320
are this the ones I've been teasing
that will probably be terrible and you also

727
00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:52,760
probably will hate. Uh. So
if you have anything else before we do

728
00:50:52,840 --> 00:50:57,639
those, I'm ready so I have
I have two. I have actually three

729
00:50:57,760 --> 00:51:01,079
batches of stuff, but I'm excited
about the latter two batches, so we

730
00:51:01,079 --> 00:51:05,719
can say that to the end this
one. I have some tattoo questions for

731
00:51:05,880 --> 00:51:10,760
you, which I'm sorry I can't
say this with a straight face. Okay,

732
00:51:10,760 --> 00:51:15,159
here we go, rebound d rebound, Here we go. Which NBA

733
00:51:15,280 --> 00:51:20,159
player has just keep smiling tattooed on
their torso, Paul George, Blake Griffin,

734
00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:24,960
Lebron James or Damian Lillard just keep
smiling. Well, if we're going

735
00:51:25,079 --> 00:51:29,519
vault, well there's a lot of
tattoo volume for all of them. I'm

736
00:51:29,519 --> 00:51:31,599
gonna say, Dame, I don't
know why it is Blake Griffin. It

737
00:51:31,639 --> 00:51:35,480
did seem like kind of a I
thought it would be like more of a

738
00:51:35,559 --> 00:51:39,440
Lebron or Paul George tattooed. Dame
feels like it wasn't serious enough. Yeah,

739
00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:43,440
but Blake Blake one is like,
I don't I can't think of a

740
00:51:43,559 --> 00:51:49,159
prominent Blake Griffin tattoo. It's that
one. I think that might be the

741
00:51:49,199 --> 00:51:52,760
only one that he has on his
torso. I've never seen Blake Griffin's torso,

742
00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:55,239
so I guess I was unprepared for
this question. Final tattoo. I

743
00:51:55,239 --> 00:51:59,199
only had two tattoo questions. I
don't know how these will play. Which

744
00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:07,800
NBA play has multiple multiple Grant Space
Jam inspired tattoos? Jordan Clarkson, Kyle

745
00:52:07,880 --> 00:52:13,039
Kuzma, Kelly Ubery Junior or Jordan
Poole. Are you shocked I didn't include

746
00:52:13,079 --> 00:52:16,880
Lebron James as an option. I
feel like I know this, but i

747
00:52:16,920 --> 00:52:22,159
also feel like I'm so cold today
that I'm not gonna get right. Multiple

748
00:52:22,199 --> 00:52:28,320
Space Jam inspired tattoos. I think
I want to say Kelly Ubray. No,

749
00:52:29,039 --> 00:52:30,400
I thought I thought that was gonna
get you. It is. Actually

750
00:52:30,480 --> 00:52:36,760
Kyle Kuzma Okay has two, at
least two Space Jam tattoos. What is

751
00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:39,960
your favorite NBA tattoo? Do you
have one? I don't know that I

752
00:52:40,039 --> 00:52:45,480
do because I feel like the actually
a Lonzo Balls is it? His arm

753
00:52:45,519 --> 00:52:51,199
Sleever's leg sleeve is pretty wicked.
He's got like a super detailed bunch of

754
00:52:51,199 --> 00:52:54,239
like portraits right, Like there's a
like a Martin Luther King one and yeah

755
00:52:54,599 --> 00:52:58,760
so, and portraits are tough.
I would never get one tattooed on me

756
00:52:58,920 --> 00:53:01,280
just because they're so hard and it's
it's gotta be his his like sleeve.

757
00:53:01,280 --> 00:53:05,199
I'm looking at his arms right now, and I don't think it's on his

758
00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:07,159
arms, so it's it's gotta be
Oh no, it is his arm.

759
00:53:07,639 --> 00:53:13,400
Yeah. I mean he's got Malcolm
X on there, and he has Barack

760
00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:17,000
Obama. Yeah that and and they
look they look great. I think that

761
00:53:17,079 --> 00:53:21,679
might be just in terms of the
detail of it, that might be my

762
00:53:21,760 --> 00:53:24,199
favorite one. Do you have one? Well, the one I always when

763
00:53:24,199 --> 00:53:28,360
I see it, I'm like,
that's fucking cool? Is is D'Angelo Russell's

764
00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:31,079
Like, I forget which shoulder it's
on, but it's it's the word now,

765
00:53:31,119 --> 00:53:35,159
but it's written like a digital clock, and I just like that plays

766
00:53:35,239 --> 00:53:37,920
the time is now. I get
it. That's like there's a little couple

767
00:53:37,039 --> 00:53:40,440
levels to it. That's a fun
one. I also like Andrea Gudalas,

768
00:53:40,880 --> 00:53:45,119
Like, initially, do you remember
he had like the remember the and one

769
00:53:45,320 --> 00:53:49,440
guy like the faceless basketball player like
holding a basketball. He had that on

770
00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:52,239
his shoulder and it was very like
early two thousands, and then he got

771
00:53:52,239 --> 00:53:57,199
the full like bird feathers sleeve down
his arm to cover it up. And

772
00:53:57,199 --> 00:53:59,559
that one looked really cool, like
he had a big Wing. I was

773
00:53:59,599 --> 00:54:01,639
a fan of that. I would
like to say that and I know why

774
00:54:01,719 --> 00:54:07,239
he has it. But Kyle Kuzma
has the Ford logo tattooed on him.

775
00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:08,519
I was gonna include that one,
but I thought I thought you would know

776
00:54:08,559 --> 00:54:13,679
about it. Also, I don't
know you know who. I don't know

777
00:54:13,679 --> 00:54:15,840
if you've seen it this season,
and I haven't gotten a close up.

778
00:54:15,960 --> 00:54:19,119
Like Isaiah Hartenstein has like a pretty
nice arm sleeve going on right now,

779
00:54:19,119 --> 00:54:22,039
and I always like JJ Reddick's arm
sleeve looked really good too. I actually

780
00:54:22,079 --> 00:54:27,039
noticed Hartenstein's sleeve the last next game
I saw, and I was like,

781
00:54:27,079 --> 00:54:30,480
man, that's like the level of
detail. I don't know anything about tattoos,

782
00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:31,800
but like, I just imagine that
is a long time in the chair

783
00:54:31,960 --> 00:54:36,960
and has to be done by only
a select few people that are capable of

784
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:39,599
doing that. And Austin Rivers has
a nice arm sleeve as well, and

785
00:54:39,599 --> 00:54:43,800
it's like even forgetting the content on
him, like I just appreciate the detail

786
00:54:43,920 --> 00:54:47,920
and he has like I think it's
basically kind of religious and the other one

787
00:54:49,199 --> 00:54:51,559
it's not super detail, but I
respect it. And he's not in the

788
00:54:51,639 --> 00:54:54,400
NBA right now. But Mike Scott
just having all those emojis tattooed on him,

789
00:54:54,519 --> 00:54:58,920
right, what about you know what
kind of like just for the novelty

790
00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:01,159
of it is Birdman because he went
like full color with so much stuff.

791
00:55:02,280 --> 00:55:05,840
Nobody else really, I can't think
of anybody else that has a bunch.

792
00:55:05,840 --> 00:55:10,119
I guess Lamello has some like red
ink somewhere, but everybody else just goes

793
00:55:10,159 --> 00:55:15,599
with the standard. And Birdman was
just like a paint facts has a tattoo

794
00:55:15,639 --> 00:55:22,320
in color green eyes, red hat
has that dungeons and dragons tatoo, Yeah,

795
00:55:22,360 --> 00:55:27,920
that you could always just barely see
like over the over the Luca has

796
00:55:27,920 --> 00:55:30,199
one like that too, where you
can see just like a little bit of

797
00:55:30,199 --> 00:55:34,559
it. Uh from his jersey covers
most of it. Who's is it?

798
00:55:35,239 --> 00:55:37,320
Who's the one where it reads like
a typo? Is it the tatum tattoo

799
00:55:37,719 --> 00:55:42,599
on? Oh? Yeah, it's
like God's Son or something. But it

800
00:55:42,639 --> 00:55:46,159
was like apostrophe was missing or something
like that God's will and there's no apostrophe

801
00:55:46,199 --> 00:55:52,960
and it reads like so multiple gods
will what I will say that one of

802
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:55,760
the pictures he posted of it when
he first got it, he has a

803
00:55:55,840 --> 00:56:00,199
nice v taper going on his back. So shout out to Jason Tatum them

804
00:56:00,199 --> 00:56:05,840
for not skipping back. Day we
have we have gone far afield. Okay,

805
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:12,000
are you ready for uh some word
association. I don't even know how

806
00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:14,480
I'm gonna I have to. I'm
like, oh, yes, I'm not

807
00:56:14,480 --> 00:56:19,239
gonna give you my My only advice
is don't think at all. That is

808
00:56:19,280 --> 00:56:24,159
what the purpose of this exercise is. Something way ahead of you. I

809
00:56:24,159 --> 00:56:29,000
think even less than whatever you're thinking. Now, it's all it's too much.

810
00:56:29,519 --> 00:56:30,679
So this is you know, that's
all. It is. Just I

811
00:56:30,719 --> 00:56:34,679
say something and you say the first
thing that pops into your head. It

812
00:56:34,719 --> 00:56:37,320
can be a sentence, it can
be a memory, or it can just

813
00:56:37,400 --> 00:56:39,440
be a word. There aren't really
any rules. Okay, you're ready.

814
00:56:39,480 --> 00:56:42,800
I got three sets of these,
and there's the five of them in each

815
00:56:42,840 --> 00:56:45,599
one. Are they basketball related?
They're a basketball Yeah, they're all basketball.

816
00:56:45,840 --> 00:56:51,920
Tell me about your deepest feared No, they're all basketball related. Marco

817
00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:59,599
Bellinelli, big balls, dance,
perfect start, verticality. Oh, Derek

818
00:56:59,639 --> 00:57:04,239
Lively, whoa see? I would
have said, Roy Hibbert, Okay,

819
00:57:04,440 --> 00:57:10,440
now we're going four point play.
Steph Curry j R. Smith Soup.

820
00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:17,679
I was gonna say like untying people's
shoelaces. Didn't you do that at the

821
00:57:17,679 --> 00:57:22,559
breath? That was such a great
moment. Do you remember? Uh,

822
00:57:22,639 --> 00:57:25,159
we'll get back to this. Do
you remember? We were both at BR

823
00:57:25,199 --> 00:57:29,840
at the time. But it was
when he like nobody knew how to use

824
00:57:29,840 --> 00:57:32,920
social media and he accidentally sent like
you trying to get the pipe to somebody?

825
00:57:34,239 --> 00:57:37,519
And then he like his next post
was like a picture of a bunch

826
00:57:37,519 --> 00:57:42,039
of pipes, like the Mario pipe
or no am I like, I can't

827
00:57:42,119 --> 00:57:46,639
remember for imposing my own thoughts onto
that. Okay, uh forgotten? Orlando

828
00:57:46,719 --> 00:57:52,760
magic? Great great hill, good
one. All right, I got some

829
00:57:52,800 --> 00:57:58,679
more here. November nineteenth, two
thousand and four. I don't. I

830
00:57:58,719 --> 00:58:00,599
have no idea. What is my
what is that? Is it? Let

831
00:58:00,639 --> 00:58:02,800
me just try and let me try
and think this one through. Yeah,

832
00:58:02,800 --> 00:58:09,760
okay, did is that? Did
the Knicks trade Patrick Ewing? Is that?

833
00:58:09,840 --> 00:58:14,159
No? That was too Uh?
It involves the pistons and pacers.

834
00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:17,119
Oh malice at the Palace. Wow, that's kind of a shitty one,

835
00:58:17,119 --> 00:58:20,760
because there's only one real answer there. I will say, though, did

836
00:58:20,800 --> 00:58:25,519
you watch that documentary? I can't
and I don't think so. I was

837
00:58:25,599 --> 00:58:29,280
watching the game in real time when
it happened, though, I still have

838
00:58:29,320 --> 00:58:31,519
like a vivid memory of that back
when you watched games. That's that's yeah,

839
00:58:31,559 --> 00:58:34,800
back when I watched games. I
haven't done that for fifteen I think

840
00:58:34,840 --> 00:58:37,519
the combination one. I was just
so young, and that's not an excuse,

841
00:58:37,599 --> 00:58:43,159
but just the way it was covered
and the information was disseminated, the

842
00:58:43,360 --> 00:58:49,840
racist not even undertones, like the
overtones of that coverage was disgusting. Yeah,

843
00:58:49,880 --> 00:58:55,199
it was rough. That was a
crazy So the personal aside, uh,

844
00:58:55,400 --> 00:59:00,360
that same night Santa cla And so
I had I had already graduated,

845
00:59:00,400 --> 00:59:05,239
but like was still living near Santa
Clara and had a bunch of friends there,

846
00:59:05,280 --> 00:59:08,559
and they had gone to see Santa
Clara. I think I'm getting this

847
00:59:08,639 --> 00:59:13,960
right. Play North Carolina, like
North Carolina with like Sean May and Raymond

848
00:59:13,960 --> 00:59:19,199
Felton play basketball, and Santa Clara
beat North Carolina. And I remember being

849
00:59:19,239 --> 00:59:22,360
on the phone with them and they
were saying like John May, you're on

850
00:59:22,400 --> 00:59:25,159
the May and Raymond Felton, Yes, get one. Yeah them too,

851
00:59:25,800 --> 00:59:30,360
like turn on ESPN or something or
like ever, You're never gonna believe this,

852
00:59:30,400 --> 00:59:32,639
And I was like, no one's
gonna be talking about this ever,

853
00:59:34,199 --> 00:59:37,960
because something else happened tonight and it
was like the biggest story in sports,

854
00:59:38,360 --> 00:59:43,840
and this will be the only thing
on Sports Center for like six months straight.

855
00:59:43,880 --> 00:59:45,519
Will be males in the Palace.
H Okay, so that that was

856
00:59:45,559 --> 00:59:52,639
a sidetrack. Okay, more word
association Seattle SuperSonics, uh Seawan camp a

857
00:59:52,639 --> 01:00:01,000
great worst NBA owner? Oh I
active or ever? Questions? Scalding is

858
01:00:01,000 --> 01:00:05,559
the most like overtleast comebacks. But
like James Dolan's got to be up there.

859
01:00:05,639 --> 01:00:09,840
I thought you might go Dolan.
Rick Carlisle, Oh my god,

860
01:00:09,880 --> 01:00:14,599
I don't. I don't even know
Rick Carlyle. Thoughts. I don't have

861
01:00:14,639 --> 01:00:16,679
any strong Rick Carlisle thoughts, No, he's not. Is it? Is

862
01:00:16,719 --> 01:00:21,039
he the one who dunked? Uh
No, let's not go there for a

863
01:00:21,119 --> 01:00:23,800
second. I don't have my slow
offenses, which doesn't make sense because Indiana

864
01:00:23,800 --> 01:00:27,119
has like the fastest offense in the
world. Right, that's fine, there's

865
01:00:27,119 --> 01:00:29,880
no wrong answers in word association,
all right. Last one in this patch

866
01:00:29,960 --> 01:00:35,639
favorite signature shoe ooh the I don't
know what year it is, but the

867
01:00:35,719 --> 01:00:39,480
team Max that had the like it
was it looked like a spider web.

868
01:00:39,639 --> 01:00:45,320
He was on the magic all white
with the lines like these blue lines kind

869
01:00:45,360 --> 01:00:47,880
of swooping down. Let me see, we just become best friends because I

870
01:00:47,880 --> 01:00:52,320
think that's my answer too. And
we've never discussed this, uh and what's

871
01:00:52,360 --> 01:00:57,159
interesting and so I'm trying to think
of which I so I just googled it.

872
01:00:57,159 --> 01:01:00,239
It was the Adidas Men's t Mac
two point. No those I didn't

873
01:01:00,239 --> 01:01:04,320
have the gloss on it. Maybe
it did, so it must have been

874
01:01:04,320 --> 01:01:07,119
the Adidas Temac two is That's what
I'm saying. The two and the three

875
01:01:07,199 --> 01:01:09,840
were both pretty sweet, and then
they got weird after that, but I

876
01:01:09,880 --> 01:01:13,480
still bought them, I think because
I was a T Max stand for sure

877
01:01:13,519 --> 01:01:17,079
at the time. It was one
of my first times that my mom bought

878
01:01:17,119 --> 01:01:21,000
me a pair of name brand shoes. We're always shopping at pay less because

879
01:01:21,000 --> 01:01:22,639
we were just super poor and she
was a single mom, and she bought

880
01:01:22,679 --> 01:01:24,880
me these. When I started,
I think I made a travel team,

881
01:01:25,159 --> 01:01:28,039
so I had. I thought I
was cool as I had my name on

882
01:01:28,079 --> 01:01:31,079
the back of my jersey. Oh, wearing way too many wristbands and not

883
01:01:31,280 --> 01:01:37,400
enough really right, and they clashed
because my jersey was gold like this goldish

884
01:01:37,400 --> 01:01:42,880
brown, and I got these T
max sneakers and I wore them all the

885
01:01:43,000 --> 01:01:45,039
time. I thought I was hot. Shit, I loved them, and

886
01:01:45,079 --> 01:01:49,440
even now I always have favored like
the lower cut basketball shoe. I don't

887
01:01:49,440 --> 01:01:52,000
know about you like a lot of
them Lebrons, I don't really like them

888
01:01:52,039 --> 01:01:55,119
because they just a lot of them
look so dense and big and heavy.

889
01:01:55,719 --> 01:02:00,519
I will say I also fell in
love with some of the the mid career

890
01:02:00,639 --> 01:02:04,760
KD models were the ones that I
actually have some of them behind me if

891
01:02:04,760 --> 01:02:13,360
anyone wants to see the show and
tell, yeah, Ktie red velvet,

892
01:02:13,880 --> 01:02:17,039
those are yeah, so like I
fell in love with these. But yeah,

893
01:02:17,039 --> 01:02:21,599
the Team AC ones were they have
a special memory. But they also

894
01:02:21,679 --> 01:02:25,000
just looked I kept thinking. I
always thought of two things like Spider Man

895
01:02:25,119 --> 01:02:29,039
for no reason, in particularly because
it looked like a spider web and Got

896
01:02:29,079 --> 01:02:31,559
Milk because he was on he was
wearing those shoes, while he did like

897
01:02:31,599 --> 01:02:35,960
the Got Milk for like the back
of the magazine. That's right, Oh,

898
01:02:36,039 --> 01:02:37,599
that's right, those were those.
I love those shoes. I had

899
01:02:38,000 --> 01:02:43,039
multiple pairs of those ones. Great
answer. You could not have given me

900
01:02:43,079 --> 01:02:45,679
a better answer. Okay, this
is my oh surprise, I actually have

901
01:02:45,719 --> 01:02:51,719
two more sets of these. This
is like, this is such a wild

902
01:02:51,760 --> 01:02:55,639
podcast right now, but please,
this will all be over soon. Okay,

903
01:02:57,039 --> 01:03:02,320
another set of five here, Serge
Ibaka. Oh this word association association.

904
01:03:02,400 --> 01:03:08,000
It's going great. Uh making Kawhi
Leonard eat testicles or whatever it wastles?

905
01:03:08,079 --> 01:03:12,800
Was it? Now? You're getting
it? Best jersey in the NBA.

906
01:03:14,199 --> 01:03:16,679
Ever, you can't ask questions.
I don't know what the I don't

907
01:03:16,679 --> 01:03:22,159
know the teal. It's the Teal
Pistons jerseys. Ooh, I like the

908
01:03:22,559 --> 01:03:27,639
that's a good answer. Uh.
Favorite dunk contest dunk ever? Ooh?

909
01:03:30,360 --> 01:03:32,400
Who who blew the candle out on
the rim? Was that your val?

910
01:03:32,639 --> 01:03:36,920
We are so best friends. That's
Gerald Green. That's my favorite too.

911
01:03:37,239 --> 01:03:39,400
The birthday cake dunk. He put
a cupcake on the rim and blew the

912
01:03:39,440 --> 01:03:44,079
candle out and dunked it. Caval
McGee had the double dunk with the two

913
01:03:44,119 --> 01:03:46,079
balls, right right, that sounds
right? Yeah, you gotta go.

914
01:03:46,840 --> 01:03:52,000
Nate Robinson jumping over. Uh what
was it? Shack? Why am I

915
01:03:52,039 --> 01:03:54,920
thinking? Yao? Late? How
Dwight Howard? Yeah, Nate Robinson just

916
01:03:54,960 --> 01:03:58,519
he had some really good dunk and
just the fact that that dude was what

917
01:03:58,559 --> 01:04:00,719
was he five to nine and it
was just like some he's like two and

918
01:04:00,719 --> 01:04:03,239
a half inches shorter than me,
two inches shorter than me, and I

919
01:04:03,480 --> 01:04:06,840
could barely raise the net when I
just I mean, you got to mention

920
01:04:06,960 --> 01:04:11,880
the Vince Carter dunks too. That's
another. I remember where I was when

921
01:04:11,920 --> 01:04:15,679
he when he and that was two
thousand. That was like because I wasn't

922
01:04:15,679 --> 01:04:19,199
even alive like during the Jordan dunk. Yeah, no Milkens dunk contest stuff,

923
01:04:19,360 --> 01:04:23,719
and just Vince Carter that dunk like
that made me fall in love with

924
01:04:23,760 --> 01:04:26,480
the dunk contest, which is weird
that it's not my favorite one, but

925
01:04:26,519 --> 01:04:30,320
I appreciate like he had, like
the actual complicated aerial moves. I think

926
01:04:30,400 --> 01:04:34,400
of more of the pageantry. Right, Yeah, the other one here,

927
01:04:34,800 --> 01:04:39,000
I have a follow up one.
What's the most disappointing dunk contest dunk?

928
01:04:39,840 --> 01:04:43,360
And why is it? Blake Griffin
jumping over fake jumping over a kiya?

929
01:04:43,639 --> 01:04:46,280
That was super lame? Do you
remember bird another Birdman reference? Didn't he

930
01:04:46,360 --> 01:04:50,480
try like thirty times to complete a
dunk and couldn't do it? And that

931
01:04:50,559 --> 01:04:54,239
was at a time where you got
like unlimited attempts, and it was just

932
01:04:54,320 --> 01:04:57,159
awful. The whole thing ground to
a halt. I forget what year that

933
01:04:57,239 --> 01:04:59,719
was. We should have done at
some point when you do like a live

934
01:04:59,800 --> 01:05:02,400
while something or a live pod to
ask these questions and then read the listener

935
01:05:02,440 --> 01:05:06,559
responses because they probably have like such
great answers. We're not thinking of so

936
01:05:06,679 --> 01:05:11,000
many because neither of us prepped for
this. Okay, so what else do

937
01:05:11,039 --> 01:05:15,840
I have? This is you're not
gonna like this Bill Cartwright? Do you

938
01:05:15,840 --> 01:05:19,760
know who Bill Cartwright is? I
know who he is? Uh? I

939
01:05:19,800 --> 01:05:24,280
think of the Bulls. Okay,
weird, super weird. Shooting for him

940
01:05:24,400 --> 01:05:29,119
would be the correct answer. Uh. Speaking of former Bulls head coach Jim

941
01:05:29,159 --> 01:05:36,519
Boylan, the Bulls what was it
called the Bulls Leadership Committee, I would

942
01:05:36,559 --> 01:05:43,800
also have accepted mutiny or whatever you
compare himself to pop. Oh. Yeah,

943
01:05:43,880 --> 01:05:45,840
that was a wild time. That
was. It was the candle burned

944
01:05:45,880 --> 01:05:50,800
so bright and burned out too fast. Okay, last one here, let's

945
01:05:50,800 --> 01:05:57,920
see Okay, pull up two,
Pull up two, Tomato Rosen floater,

946
01:06:00,159 --> 01:06:08,880
Steve Nash, catch and shoot three
Buddy healed reverse dunk. Oh I have

947
01:06:08,920 --> 01:06:11,960
no, Oh my god, there's
no one's even bringing to mind for this

948
01:06:12,199 --> 01:06:16,440
right now. I got not reverse
dunk Patrick Ewing. Okay, there's that

949
01:06:16,480 --> 01:06:19,760
picture of him hanging on the rim. I always think of Mason Plumbley used

950
01:06:19,760 --> 01:06:23,719
to really reverse dunk a lot,
and Aaron Gordon likes the reverse dunk a

951
01:06:23,719 --> 01:06:28,920
little bit, the two hand reverse. Okay, flop Marcus Smart, I

952
01:06:28,920 --> 01:06:31,119
mean that was also my answer.
That's all. That's all for word association.

953
01:06:31,280 --> 01:06:35,159
That was so good. We need
comments to let us know if this

954
01:06:35,400 --> 01:06:39,880
was the really fun thing it felt
like to us or the total shit show.

955
01:06:39,960 --> 01:06:43,639
Yeah, let us like discord or
the comments, which don't You could

956
01:06:43,639 --> 01:06:45,320
tell us which ones you don't like. These are all just amazing though,

957
01:06:45,360 --> 01:06:48,199
But if there's like a segment that
you would like us to bring back other

958
01:06:48,239 --> 01:06:54,280
than guess that player. Yeah,
yeah, so I have there. I

959
01:06:54,320 --> 01:06:58,400
have start bent cut. Excuse me, start bench cuts for you. But

960
01:06:58,440 --> 01:07:03,960
they're not players per se. They
are NBA signature moves. Okay, so

961
01:07:04,079 --> 01:07:11,800
start bench cut. These NBA signature
moves Nikola Jokicch's sombor shuffle, Haakima Lajuan's

962
01:07:11,840 --> 01:07:15,920
dream shake, Tim Duncan's bank shot. Oh this is so horrible, Okay,

963
01:07:16,000 --> 01:07:20,880
I'm starting the dream Shake. I
have to, and I am going

964
01:07:21,000 --> 01:07:28,880
to bench the Somboar shuffle and I
will cut the bank shot because I know

965
01:07:28,960 --> 01:07:32,559
Tim Duncan won't care. Ooh,
I don't know. He remember he flipped

966
01:07:32,599 --> 01:07:35,239
off that fan once who was taking
a picture of him. He might care.

967
01:07:36,559 --> 01:07:40,599
He can take it. He doesn't
care about personal stuff. I'm not

968
01:07:40,599 --> 01:07:44,159
gonna lie. This might be recency
biased. I might start the Sombar shuffle

969
01:07:44,480 --> 01:07:46,119
when you said it. Initially I
was gonna start it, and then you

970
01:07:46,119 --> 01:07:48,920
said dream shake, and I couldn't. I couldn't go away from it.

971
01:07:49,920 --> 01:07:56,519
Start bench cut These NBA signature moves
Steph Curry's pull up three, Dirk's one

972
01:07:56,599 --> 01:08:02,760
legged fade away, Michael Jordan's fade
away. Hmm oh man, all right,

973
01:08:03,039 --> 01:08:08,760
I'm gonna start Michael Jordan's fade away. I'm gonna bench Curry's pull up

974
01:08:08,760 --> 01:08:12,679
three, and I'm gonna cut Dirk's
one legger. I got it. That's

975
01:08:12,760 --> 01:08:16,159
nasty stuff. I gotta give it
to Jordan. Start bench cut These NBA

976
01:08:16,279 --> 01:08:24,119
signature moves Lebron James cross court pass, Tyre's Halliburton's jump pass, Magic Johnson's

977
01:08:24,119 --> 01:08:28,479
no look pass. I'm gonna start
Magic Johnson's no I take you know,

978
01:08:28,560 --> 01:08:30,399
I am gonna start Magic Johnson's no
look pass, even though some of them

979
01:08:30,399 --> 01:08:33,319
were fake no looks. We gotta
be we gotta be critical of those.

980
01:08:33,920 --> 01:08:42,960
I'm going to I'm gonna bench Lebron's
cross court and I'm gonna cut Tyrese Haliburton's

981
01:08:43,039 --> 01:08:45,319
jump pass, even though I know
that it's okay now to do that,

982
01:08:45,479 --> 01:08:50,000
but uh, the the deeply ingrained
do not leave your feet to pass uh

983
01:08:50,159 --> 01:08:56,159
directive is still in my head.
I think you're just a coward. Tyre's

984
01:08:56,159 --> 01:08:59,760
Halliburton's jumpass probably should have been benched. The Lebron cross court pass I might

985
01:08:59,800 --> 01:09:02,399
have gotten rid of. Yeah,
well, you know, not every path,

986
01:09:02,479 --> 01:09:05,920
not every great pass, has to
be flashy. So final one of

987
01:09:05,920 --> 01:09:12,680
this start bench cut these these players
based on handles only, Okay, Steph

988
01:09:12,720 --> 01:09:16,479
Curry, Kyrie, Irving, Alan
Iverson. I'm starting Kyrie. I think

989
01:09:16,479 --> 01:09:20,880
he's just got the best handl there
is, and you're gonna you know,

990
01:09:21,119 --> 01:09:24,920
you know, I'm not gonna cut
Steph. So I got a bench Steph

991
01:09:25,000 --> 01:09:29,199
and cut Iverson, which is just
like feels blasphemous and I hate that he

992
01:09:29,279 --> 01:09:33,520
made me do that, I will
say I think I would probably start Steph

993
01:09:33,840 --> 01:09:39,800
bench Kyrie cut Ai, just because
the Steph handles can sometimes end in these

994
01:09:39,840 --> 01:09:44,439
like circus jump shots from all over
the place at crazy angles, whereas Kyrie's

995
01:09:44,439 --> 01:09:47,960
it's more about the circus layups or
just mid rangers in there, and so

996
01:09:48,039 --> 01:09:51,279
like having the and I know he's
had circus like threes and whatever, but

997
01:09:51,840 --> 01:09:58,319
I like the the unpredictability of what
is Steph doing and you're getting Kyrie always

998
01:09:58,319 --> 01:10:02,399
feels like there's a method to the
madness. Steph Curry's just absolute anarchy.

999
01:10:02,800 --> 01:10:06,880
I feel like his is just totally
improvised, and it's even watching it,

1000
01:10:06,960 --> 01:10:10,399
even though it's Steph Curry. Maybe
not as much anymore. Do you remember,

1001
01:10:10,399 --> 01:10:13,800
like a few years ago you could
even see like Steve Kerr getting frustrated

1002
01:10:13,800 --> 01:10:15,239
where it's like what is he?
There's that clip too, was it the

1003
01:10:15,239 --> 01:10:18,359
twenty sixteen season where he's like has
his hands on his head and he's like,

1004
01:10:18,680 --> 01:10:23,239
I think that's the one against the
Clippers where Steph is like in traffic

1005
01:10:23,279 --> 01:10:26,600
and dribbling behind his back up like
the top left side of the arc,

1006
01:10:26,720 --> 01:10:30,399
and Kerr is like beside himself and
then just has to like giggle after the

1007
01:10:30,439 --> 01:10:34,039
shot goes in. That was very
much the mid two thousand teens Steph Curry

1008
01:10:34,039 --> 01:10:40,359
experience. You know, I saw
something interesting. Imon Schumpert was on a

1009
01:10:40,399 --> 01:10:45,199
podcast somewhere and he was talking about
how Kyrie like doesn't have a plan and

1010
01:10:45,279 --> 01:10:47,399
all he does is just like wait
for you to mess up or like lean

1011
01:10:47,479 --> 01:10:50,920
one way or the other, and
then he'll just go the other way because

1012
01:10:50,960 --> 01:10:54,840
like he can just move like that. He said, like he doesn't have

1013
01:10:55,079 --> 01:10:59,119
an idea before he like attacks you. He just lets you beat yourself and

1014
01:10:59,159 --> 01:11:02,079
then dribbles around you whichever direction you
give them, which sounded pretty badass to

1015
01:11:02,159 --> 01:11:06,079
me. My final batch of stuff, do you have any more? That's

1016
01:11:06,079 --> 01:11:11,119
it, I have no more.
My final batch of stuff is guess the

1017
01:11:11,239 --> 01:11:15,520
NBA nickname? And I'm trusting that
hoop type had accurate nicknames. And these

1018
01:11:15,560 --> 01:11:19,960
are nicknames that I didn't know right
away, So it was one I found

1019
01:11:20,000 --> 01:11:24,199
them interesting, but it was a
challenge to then come up with players to

1020
01:11:24,319 --> 01:11:29,159
include here. So did you did
you know any of these? No?

1021
01:11:29,640 --> 01:11:31,520
Okay, this doesn't bode well,
but one of them I feel like I

1022
01:11:31,520 --> 01:11:36,279
should have known and I didn't okay, uh okay, Which let's let's start

1023
01:11:36,319 --> 01:11:39,960
off with a Let's start off with
a uh, let's start off with a

1024
01:11:40,000 --> 01:11:47,720
banger here. Which NBA player's nickname
is out Back Jesus, Matt Bonner,

1025
01:11:48,279 --> 01:11:57,960
Matthew Delavandova, jo Keem Noah or
Kyle O'Quinn. That has gotta be Delavadova.

1026
01:11:58,439 --> 01:12:01,000
That is correct. Yeah, look
you I did. Did you know

1027
01:12:01,079 --> 01:12:05,039
that before? I mean it had
to be an Australian. Uh. And

1028
01:12:05,119 --> 01:12:10,600
so that that got me. That
narrowed it for me. Yeah, I

1029
01:12:10,640 --> 01:12:14,359
figured I did not even take that
into account. I should have included more

1030
01:12:14,680 --> 01:12:18,479
like Australian minefield names there. You're
giving me, like Engles Aaron Bains.

1031
01:12:18,680 --> 01:12:25,119
I would have had no chance.
Which NBA player's nickname is Ankle Taker,

1032
01:12:25,880 --> 01:12:31,119
Steph Curry, Kyrie Irving, Alan
Iverson or Chris Paul hmm, could be

1033
01:12:31,159 --> 01:12:34,920
any of those guys. It is
one of them. I can confirm.

1034
01:12:35,039 --> 01:12:43,039
I got a twenty chance. I'm
just gonna say, I'll say Alan Iverson.

1035
01:12:43,800 --> 01:12:45,800
That is incorrect. It is Kyrie
Irving. Okay, Yeah, that

1036
01:12:45,600 --> 01:12:53,159
that that checks out. Which NBA
player's nickname is Big Panda, Carmelo Anthony

1037
01:12:53,600 --> 01:13:01,159
Bradley Beale, DeMar DeRozan or Tracy
McGrady. Oh, I don't know why.

1038
01:13:01,239 --> 01:13:05,520
I think it's Bradley Beal. That
is correct. Why is it Bradley?

1039
01:13:05,960 --> 01:13:10,560
Why has it heard? I maybe
I've seen it on Basketball Reference at

1040
01:13:10,560 --> 01:13:13,319
some point and done a double take, because that makes no sense at all.

1041
01:13:14,159 --> 01:13:15,880
Okay, okay, cool, two
for three? Take it. So

1042
01:13:15,960 --> 01:13:23,159
we have two more Batchesky, which
NBA player has the nickname count Blockula,

1043
01:13:23,600 --> 01:13:30,199
Marcus Camby, serge A Baka to
Kenbe Mtumbo or Hassan white Side count Blockula

1044
01:13:30,840 --> 01:13:42,039
Matumbo has several I'm gonna say,
I'm gonna say Matumbo. That is incorrect.

1045
01:13:42,039 --> 01:13:45,279
It's Hassan white Side, And I'm
not gonna lie. That feels like

1046
01:13:45,319 --> 01:13:48,199
a nickname he would have given himself
over Black christ one morning, definitely,

1047
01:13:48,439 --> 01:13:54,960
definitely. Okay. The final one
here, which NBA player has the nickname

1048
01:13:55,000 --> 01:14:01,239
Big Daddy, Wookie, Wilt Chamberlain, Javali, Shaquille O'Neal, or Bill

1049
01:14:01,279 --> 01:14:05,680
Walton. I'm gonna say Javail.
I don't know why that is correct.

1050
01:14:05,800 --> 01:14:10,239
I was trying to think of like, at least one other goofy guy to

1051
01:14:10,319 --> 01:14:14,520
include here, so I went with
Shack and then also just Wilt Chamberlain being

1052
01:14:14,560 --> 01:14:16,279
called big Daddy would make a lot
of sense, and so that's why,

1053
01:14:16,520 --> 01:14:18,079
and then Bill Walton I was like, yeah, what the hell, why

1054
01:14:18,119 --> 01:14:24,239
not? Statistically Will Chamberlain, it's
probably the most daddy out there. I

1055
01:14:24,239 --> 01:14:26,640
hope people enjoyed that one. It
was interesting to learn. So I didn't

1056
01:14:26,640 --> 01:14:30,079
even get through like all the ones
that I wanted. And I'm still disappointed

1057
01:14:30,119 --> 01:14:32,520
that my nickname for web and Yama
hasn't caught on. Can we call him

1058
01:14:32,520 --> 01:14:36,359
the Rim Reaper? Don't on this
podcast, don't give up on it.

1059
01:14:36,359 --> 01:14:40,199
It's like you gotta you gotta stick
with it and make it happen. I

1060
01:14:40,199 --> 01:14:43,119
don't see any reason that it blocks
too many jump shots. So the Rim

1061
01:14:43,159 --> 01:14:47,000
Reaper is just probably not Yeah,
maybe maybe the Rim Reaper is someone that

1062
01:14:47,119 --> 01:14:51,800
really like you have to be skinny, I think, but just because you

1063
01:14:51,840 --> 01:14:56,600
know that figure is, it's gotta
be someone that like attacks the rim really

1064
01:14:56,600 --> 01:14:59,840
hard, like he's like he's killing
them. Here's my question, do they

1065
01:14:59,840 --> 01:15:06,079
have to go in or can it
be John Morant? I will approve Ja

1066
01:15:06,159 --> 01:15:10,399
Morant as the Room Reaper. That's
pretty sweet, but I we got we'll

1067
01:15:10,399 --> 01:15:12,640
try to get the whimby thing off
the ground. There's nothing I think.

1068
01:15:12,720 --> 01:15:15,920
I think that has some legs.
So we just did five minutes of puppy

1069
01:15:15,960 --> 01:15:19,079
talk followed by seventy minutes of stat
padding. Would you liked I hope everyone

1070
01:15:19,159 --> 01:15:21,800
enjoyed this. I don't think we'll
ever do I mean, maybe we will

1071
01:15:21,800 --> 01:15:25,840
do a full episode of this again
at some point, but I had fun.

1072
01:15:26,399 --> 01:15:29,600
Do you knock get out of here? Though? Word association? Could

1073
01:15:29,600 --> 01:15:31,920
we could go a long way with
that because all you need is work.

1074
01:15:32,119 --> 01:15:35,039
We're doing it at least one more
time so that I can do it to

1075
01:15:35,119 --> 01:15:39,760
you. Okay, it's kind of
a weird psychological exercise because it really just

1076
01:15:39,760 --> 01:15:42,840
says, like, what's what's going
on in Dan's brain when I when he

1077
01:15:42,840 --> 01:15:45,159
hears a word? That's so the
audio if the audience cares to learn more

1078
01:15:45,159 --> 01:15:47,720
about you, like on a deep
level, I think this is the way.

1079
01:15:47,800 --> 01:15:54,159
That's why I don't do no views
gives about either. Okay, uh

1080
01:15:54,239 --> 01:15:57,520
yeah, well so this was a
weird one, but I personally enjoyed it

1081
01:15:57,560 --> 01:16:00,640
a great deal. I hope all
of you guys did too. Thank you

1082
01:16:00,680 --> 01:16:02,439
for all the submissions, and if
you want more stat padding probably going to

1083
01:16:02,479 --> 01:16:05,920
take some submissions because it's not that
easy to come up with a bunch of

1084
01:16:05,960 --> 01:16:10,399
random shit all the time. So
if you would like to participate in this,

1085

1090
01:16:31,520 --> 01:16:35,760
tell people that like word association,
I guess and nicknames that that would be

1091
01:16:35,840 --> 01:16:41,800
great too. We kind of try
to cater to everybody now apparently, and

1092

yeah, tell your friends, tell
your enemies. If you want some merch,

in the YouTube and podcast description,

1094
01:16:47,199 --> 01:16:50,079
which is kind of where all the
information you need is. And I think

1095
01:16:50,119 --> 01:16:53,720
that's going to do it for us. Thanks again, and we close as
