No, you more like um,
ain't nobody to come to see you?

23
00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:15.639
Oltis Yeah, he owed us like. Gill joined the group and he was

24
00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:19.840
old so like, but he was
also the best singer into it that.

25
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:23.840
He was the best singer New Edition. He had it. I can't the

26
00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:27.520
Rain was? Can't you saying the
rain was? He was their greatest song.

27
00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:30.560
I'm saying that that song was one
of the greatest song. Yeah.

28
00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:34.159
But he joined the group late.
New Edition was fine before he joined.

29
00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:37.639
He just brought some more maturity to
the group. He said it was.

30
00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:43.800
It was the time though, But
this is like you, I mean,

31
00:02:43.879 --> 00:02:46.360
I mean say it like that.
What's good? Everybody happy to be in

32
00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:49.120
the building with my brothers. You're
happy to be in the building with everybody.

33
00:02:49.439 --> 00:02:53.800
Um, that's all I got.
No, that's not all I got?

34
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:58.199
Okay, uh oh, yeah,
real quick. I don't know if

35
00:02:58.199 --> 00:03:01.479
I said this last week. One
of our legends have going on the better

36
00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:07.759
pastures. Tina Turner passed away.
So our condolences to the Turner family.

37
00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:14.680
Youike and uh so you know,
you know he died too. I know

38
00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:19.080
he died. I don't say he
died before Tina. I know he should

39
00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:21.479
have. You know she left the
country, man, I didn't know that.

40
00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:25.240
Man. Yeah, she was,
she became a citizen. She left

41
00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:30.840
the country a little bit after the
movie dropped. Yeah, really said.

42
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:32.960
Yeah. She said that that was
a dark point of her time and the

43
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:39.719
fact that a lot of people took
it after the joke, M it really

44
00:03:39.879 --> 00:03:43.599
was not good for her mental help. So and so when he worked,

45
00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:47.400
he said, uh, America.
Yeah, she left America, Michael left

46
00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:51.360
America for a little while. Many. I didn't. I didn't know.

47
00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:57.800
Tina didn't live here. I didn't
know. Yeah, we our sons,

48
00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:00.759
Patte. You know her sons passed
away. You know, two of her

49
00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:03.400
sons passed away, and it was
you know, just her man, So

50
00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:14.960
you know that does that does a
little different man show m Yeah, rest

51
00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:17.519
in peace, the legendary team attorney. Yeah, rest in Paradise wanted to

52
00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:21.199
put that out there. Um,
we're gonna go ahead and start off with

53
00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:28.519
the injury report. So although the
season is over, the Los Angeles Lakers

54
00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:32.920
have recently reported that Lebron James had
been playing with the torn tendon in his

55
00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:41.360
foot for the last few months and
he will require surgery this summer. The

56
00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:46.160
Boston Celtics are without Malcolm brog didn't
I didn't say that. Um, he

57
00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:49.519
didn't play yesterday, so they're without
him. He's playing through a partial tear

58
00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:56.040
and tendon coming out of his right
elbow that leads into his forearm. He

59
00:04:56.160 --> 00:05:00.639
has the most interesting injuries I've ever
seen. Right, has he ever played

60
00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:04.959
a four season since he won Rookie
of the Year. Even this year given

61
00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:14.680
him six man that was a force
that was I don't think he even had.

62
00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:16.879
I don't think I'm gonna check the
stats. I'm not gonna say.

63
00:05:17.279 --> 00:05:20.680
I just think he Boston. We're
fine without him. Whether he came up

64
00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:24.639
the bench or a starter, whatever
case may be. He didn't really add

65
00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:29.240
that much to it. Yeah,
Um, not gonna be done with the

66
00:05:29.240 --> 00:05:32.040
injury pore. You're gonna get to
the shoot around, h slash and other

67
00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:38.199
news around the NBA where we talk
about rumors was going on in the playoffs

68
00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:43.120
and stuff at that nature. Um, first you want to talk about um

69
00:05:43.319 --> 00:05:48.959
comments from Scottie Pippen. He said
Jordan was a bum before he joined the

70
00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:58.519
team. Now we have a quick
video to play to uh go along with

71
00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:05.480
this narrative that Jordan was a bum
before Scottie Pippen play and let the chips

72
00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:15.759
fall where they met. Let's get
at all you got a bill? Oh

73
00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:19.759
man? Listen? Did boss ain't
tell? We need a bill on here?

74
00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:27.639
What the media does not want you
to know about Michael Jordan before Scottie

75
00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:33.680
Pippen got there, A total and
complete loser, not just never got out

76
00:06:33.720 --> 00:06:38.839
of the first round, not just
one and nine in the playoffs, never

77
00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:44.879
even above five hundred in the regular
season. Larry Bird the best player when

78
00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:47.120
he walked into the league. Do
you know how many times Michael beat Larry

79
00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:50.560
in the playoffs? I don't mean
in a series, I mean in a

80
00:06:50.759 --> 00:06:58.279
single playoff game. The answer to
that is zero. We pretend Jordan's career

81
00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:03.360
was six years long. Everyone eight
on Michael's watch. We just pretend it

82
00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:06.759
didn't happen. Well, Larry one
Cream one, Magic One, Isaiah One,

83
00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:10.000
A Team one, Dregs, the
One, Shock one, Kobe one,

84
00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:14.199
David Robinson, Tim Duncan one.
If we are decided, the only

85
00:07:14.360 --> 00:07:18.519
years of Jordan's career that counts are
the years he won championships. Well that's

86
00:07:18.519 --> 00:07:24.720
a hell of a resume, but
that's not how this works. Now.

87
00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:30.000
That commentary was from Nick Grant.
I'm not familiar with the show he's on,

88
00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:33.480
Honest with you, doesn't really matter. He has a valid argument about

89
00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:38.560
the great No he does, Jordan, No, he doesn't. We're gonna

90
00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:44.480
kick it to my right now,
gonna last because I'm not get in.

91
00:07:45.040 --> 00:07:49.879
I mean, that's why we played. So let me say this. First

92
00:07:49.879 --> 00:07:58.000
of all, um, Michael Jordan
himself said no Scottie Pippen, no championships.

93
00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:03.160
That's the first thing. Okay.
The second thing, and this would

94
00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:05.720
be quick. I won't even go
on a long run because there's no point.

95
00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:09.800
The second thing is the world saw
what Scottie Pippen can do without Michael

96
00:08:09.839 --> 00:08:16.959
Jordan's. Okay, when Michael Jordan
retired the first time, Scottie Pippen couldn't

97
00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:20.959
get it done. Okay, then
get done. He is back. He

98
00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:24.360
sat on the TV, and uh, well, what Jordans are those that

99
00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:28.959
you have with the North Carolina Jordans
that I've been trying to give for years.

100
00:08:30.040 --> 00:08:33.080
You know what's what I'm talking about? The Charlotte Hornet Jordan's. Yeah,

101
00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:39.000
the whole world watched Scotty and the
Charlotte Hornet Jordan's waved his feet on

102
00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:43.799
TV, the ones that Kissy got
out of Hornet whatever. The whole world

103
00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:48.399
watched Scottie on TV, put the
tens on the camera and asked Michael to

104
00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:52.639
come back to the game of basketball. The whole world watched Scottie Pippen not

105
00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:56.720
go in the game when Phil Jackson
begged him to go in the game,

106
00:08:56.720 --> 00:09:03.120
when Tony Kuko chook the last shot
and they won the game. Say that

107
00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:09.879
Michael Jordan was a bum before.
Scotti is not only disrespectful, but this

108
00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:16.519
clown what is his name? Nick
who? Nick Wright? Is a clown?

109
00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:22.440
He is a clown. If I
use cuss words, I will call

110
00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:26.799
him something else that See. See, here's the thing, stephen A got

111
00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:31.360
these commentators thinking they can give hot
takes about everything. Right. You got

112
00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:35.039
JJ Reddick with his dumb remarks that
John Morranch should fight it. You got

113
00:09:35.080 --> 00:09:39.600
this clown nick right with his god
off of remarks. Nick Wright could have

114
00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:46.799
simply said Jordan didn't win before Scotty
and it would be true. But to

115
00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:50.440
say Jordan was garbage. The rookie
of the year, the man in average

116
00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:54.600
twenty eight points his first year in
the league, the man at average twenty

117
00:09:54.679 --> 00:09:58.399
two, then the man in average
thirty seven. Scottie joined the team in

118
00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:01.919
late eight seven. The first three
years of Jordan was there. Jordan was

119
00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:07.279
rebranding the game of basketball. So
like my man's lepron you, I'm gonna

120
00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:11.639
take a line out of Kissy book. Look at that roster Jordan had before

121
00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:16.559
Scottie Pippen did, and think that
he could take that roster to the finalist

122
00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:20.840
stop it. Not only did Scottie
Pippen come in and help, Horace Grant

123
00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:24.519
came in and helped, Bill Cartwright
came in and helped. Jim Paxson came

124
00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:28.960
in and help. We understand that
basketball is a team sport. There is

125
00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:33.360
no doubt that Jordan would not have
those rings without Scottie. But to say

126
00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:39.240
that Jordan was trash, Nick Write's
comments are ridiculous, and Scottie Pippen I'm

127
00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:43.440
gonna say this about Scottie. Scotty
lost a son which I didn't know about.

128
00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:48.360
He lost his wife to Michael Jordan's
son. So Scotti has a little

129
00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:52.519
temper tampatum right now. Understanding that
you weren't Michael and you might want to

130
00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:54.960
be Michael, Scotty needs to get
somewhere and pray, get a therapist,

131
00:10:56.039 --> 00:10:58.240
read a book, and get off
to Michael Trent because it is not helping

132
00:10:58.279 --> 00:11:03.799
you at all. Nick Wright,
you sir, our garbage m number one.

133
00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:07.519
It took longer than what you said
it was gonna take. Thanks a

134
00:11:07.559 --> 00:11:13.720
lot of that. Thank you for
that, that that sound, thank you,

135
00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:20.639
thank you, And it's too late
now anyway, I see it.

136
00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:26.799
Okay, um, real quick,
do you want to go? Would you

137
00:11:26.840 --> 00:11:33.600
like to rebuttal this? I mean, if it was Lebron, I'm just

138
00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:37.679
gonna be honest. If it was
Lebron that had Jordan's start to a career,

139
00:11:39.399 --> 00:11:43.559
we would never hear the end of
it. He's been scrutinized since the

140
00:11:43.639 --> 00:11:50.480
day he walked in the league.
When he first come to Link. You

141
00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:52.039
told me you didn't like him.
I didn't like him, true, but

142
00:11:52.159 --> 00:11:56.879
I became a what I became a
what I became a fan? Do you

143
00:11:56.879 --> 00:12:03.399
want not give Lebron his flowers?
I don't supposed to. Do you want

144
00:12:03.399 --> 00:12:07.159
to not give Lebron? But at
the end of the day, I can

145
00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:11.960
say I agree with Nick Right for
a certain extent, but not with him

146
00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:16.360
saying he was a boom. I
would say, say he's a ball.

147
00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:22.320
Nick Right, just put it out
there. I'm a Loser's works than being

148
00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:26.799
called what is the loser? What
is the loser? A first who does

149
00:12:26.799 --> 00:12:31.759
not win? So he didn't call
him a bomb, but a loser.

150
00:12:31.799 --> 00:12:37.279
He was a loser, but he
wasn't a loser. The Scotty got their

151
00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:43.120
team were losers, not Mike Hey, Michael's on the team. So then

152
00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:50.039
we Lebron loser? Do they say
the team lost because the Lakers just got

153
00:12:50.039 --> 00:12:52.759
swept? And who did they say
lost? Lebron? I swept. So

154
00:12:52.879 --> 00:12:58.120
this record, it's on his record. Now here's my thing. So why

155
00:12:58.200 --> 00:13:01.080
Jordan don't get that that treatment,
because if you look back at it,

156
00:13:03.320 --> 00:13:07.200
he was a loser. He was
getting he was getting it whipped three years

157
00:13:07.240 --> 00:13:13.320
in six years in total, but
the first three years, first three years,

158
00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:16.960
they wasn't even five hundred. He
was a rookie in eighty four.

159
00:13:18.679 --> 00:13:22.559
Mm hmm, okay, so there's
an expectation that all rookies have to come

160
00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:26.240
in and win right away. Lebron
did he did not? Yeah, he

161
00:13:26.279 --> 00:13:31.879
did. He went to the finals. They expected him to come in and

162
00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:35.279
be Jesus himself. See that's two. This is two different erarors. Though

163
00:13:35.559 --> 00:13:39.240
different. I'm just saying though the
standard the stands. We wasn't that high

164
00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:43.919
for Jordan. Jord wasn't even picked
number one, I know, but Jordan

165
00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:50.440
number three. No, Jordan came
off of a NC double, a championship

166
00:13:50.960 --> 00:13:54.440
that he made the game winning shot, and so expecting him to come in

167
00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:58.000
and they expect they was like,
Jordan is a high pick. They didn't

168
00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:01.639
expect him to turn nobody. It's
hard to say that now just because the

169
00:14:01.720 --> 00:14:05.279
media was different, because you can't
say, oh, I expect great things

170
00:14:05.679 --> 00:14:09.360
they were. They weren't high on
Jordan. That's why he wasn't the number

171
00:14:09.399 --> 00:14:15.919
one picking. Sam Bluie was so
Sam who So That's what I'm saying.

172
00:14:15.919 --> 00:14:20.399
So it wasn't I don't want to
put the when you put the Lebron narrative

173
00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:26.799
on Jordan. It's two different it's
that's the main comparisons that's going around compared

174
00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:31.039
to Jordan because of the things he's
done. And my thing about the whole

175
00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:37.600
Jordan situation is um nick Wright said
some things that were true. Like he

176
00:14:37.960 --> 00:14:43.120
said some things that were true,
like like did they beat the Celtics in

177
00:14:43.200 --> 00:14:46.519
the playoffs? Did he beat the
Subtons in the playoffs? Yess? No

178
00:14:46.679 --> 00:14:52.240
question is he ys? No question? Even when even him having sixty three,

179
00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:54.519
guess what they lost that series?
They should one, they should have.

180
00:14:54.879 --> 00:14:58.480
It was just hey, it was
just Michael thought. That's not the

181
00:14:58.519 --> 00:15:01.320
point. It's not the point.
Yeah, not the point. Point is

182
00:15:01.919 --> 00:15:05.159
hypocrites, hypocrits. The facts are
the facts are the stats, and the

183
00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:09.679
stats say he was a loser.
No, no, he was a loser.

184
00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:11.720
No, no, I get it. You're a fan. You called

185
00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:20.799
Jordan. No nowt he think about
Jordan's this Once he figured it out,

186
00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:28.039
he became a winner. Now you
can't, dre you even say this to

187
00:15:28.080 --> 00:15:31.159
yourself. I love Jordan, Jordan's
greatest player ever. But we ain't gonna

188
00:15:31.159 --> 00:15:35.399
talk about those Washington Wizards years of
course not. Yeah, that's what he

189
00:15:35.480 --> 00:15:41.519
said. Nick Rice said, nobody
wants to talk about Jordan and his era

190
00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:45.320
of losing. That was his point. Let's talk about it. At at

191
00:15:45.360 --> 00:15:50.159
age forty he averaged twenty two points, played more games in half the league.

192
00:15:50.720 --> 00:15:54.320
At age forty one, he averaged
twenty two points. Twenty two point

193
00:15:54.440 --> 00:15:58.240
zero points. Here, here's the
thing. I don't care about that,

194
00:15:58.759 --> 00:16:02.120
just like I don't care about Lebra
scoring all these points. He's still getting

195
00:16:02.200 --> 00:16:04.320
swept as long as it wasn't.
In the final, Lebron had thirty eight

196
00:16:04.320 --> 00:16:08.519
points and they still scott swept.
So exactly. So my thing is this,

197
00:16:08.799 --> 00:16:11.600
you can't you can't have the good
without the bad. And that's the

198
00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:14.759
whole point it is, you can't
have to do without the bad. Now,

199
00:16:14.799 --> 00:16:18.960
as far as Scottie Pippen goes,
Scottie Pippet is I'm gonna say in

200
00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:23.039
his feelings, but Scottie Pippet always
felt like, you're making this documentary about

201
00:16:23.120 --> 00:16:29.320
yourself and you're you rarely, or
you barely, or you don't mention it

202
00:16:29.360 --> 00:16:32.480
all the people who really helped you
get to the point where you were at.

203
00:16:32.759 --> 00:16:34.799
That's that has been Jordan, That's
been the Scottie Pippen narrative. But

204
00:16:34.799 --> 00:16:38.440
it's the wrong narrative. Hold on
a second, though, Jordan has said

205
00:16:38.519 --> 00:16:44.120
in the documentary, there was no
Scottie Pippen, no championships then as Roman

206
00:16:44.240 --> 00:16:48.000
did this, horse Grant did that. Now he's also Jordan also through those

207
00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:52.480
guys under the bus a little bit. Everybody walked away from the Jordan documentary

208
00:16:52.639 --> 00:16:56.720
feeling the type of way. So
if everybody feel up to a certain type

209
00:16:56.759 --> 00:17:02.759
of way, obviously there's some things
miss here. It hurts to be the

210
00:17:02.759 --> 00:17:08.640
greatest. Uh. They persecuted Jesus, they hated Jesus. Jesus is the

211
00:17:08.680 --> 00:17:11.480
greatest person to add that, to
ever, to ever live, right,

212
00:17:11.880 --> 00:17:17.759
to be the only man to be
resurrected from the dead, right right talking

213
00:17:17.759 --> 00:17:22.079
about we're talking about basketball, but
I'm making a comparison here we are.

214
00:17:22.079 --> 00:17:27.200
I'm not what I'm saying. They
talked about Jesus, They'll talk about anybody.

215
00:17:27.359 --> 00:17:32.319
Wow, they talk about Michael Jordan. Okay, talk about anybody.

216
00:17:32.400 --> 00:17:37.480
The fact that we're debating this forty
years after the man was drafted shows just

217
00:17:37.559 --> 00:17:41.079
how great he is. Nick Wright, you're a terrible comments. It just

218
00:17:41.119 --> 00:17:45.079
shows you how much social media is
around now to bring up everything that happened

219
00:17:45.119 --> 00:17:52.079
back everything and nobody ever talked about
so Michael Jordan had a grip on the

220
00:17:52.160 --> 00:17:56.119
media that he did. In fact, I remember, I think it's Jim

221
00:17:56.200 --> 00:18:00.200
Rome said some very critical things about
Michael, and Michael refused to talk to

222
00:18:00.279 --> 00:18:04.160
him. Again. There was a
sports writer for the White Sox that says

223
00:18:04.200 --> 00:18:07.480
some really bad things about his baseball
playing days, which he probably should have

224
00:18:07.519 --> 00:18:11.000
because he sucked as a baseball player, and Michael refused to talk to him.

225
00:18:11.160 --> 00:18:15.079
But to say that Michael, to
say that the Goat was a loser

226
00:18:15.440 --> 00:18:21.720
and he's still the goat is irrelevant. It's irrelevant. You have to win,

227
00:18:21.839 --> 00:18:25.079
you have to lose to win.
It's irrelevant. No side. Part

228
00:18:25.079 --> 00:18:27.440
of his career is part of his
journey, and that's the whole point.

229
00:18:27.519 --> 00:18:33.319
Like, take take away the fandism
out of this. I think it wrong,

230
00:18:33.359 --> 00:18:36.000
but I'm going to go with it. It's dictionary, but whatever,

231
00:18:36.359 --> 00:18:40.279
it's not a dictionary, but whatever. Take that out of this. He

232
00:18:40.400 --> 00:18:44.200
had to lose to win and that's
nothing wrong. That's the thing. And

233
00:18:45.359 --> 00:18:48.559
you just know this, listen,
man, you have to lose to win.

234
00:18:48.839 --> 00:18:52.599
Speak for yourself. Don't call him. So that's no, no,

235
00:18:52.680 --> 00:18:56.680
no, no, no no,
that's fine. No, because I acknowledge.

236
00:18:56.200 --> 00:19:00.200
We sat at this table and I
said, until I realized how rate

237
00:19:00.279 --> 00:19:03.559
Michael was, Scottie Pippen was my
favorite player. I didn't stop losing respect

238
00:19:03.559 --> 00:19:07.119
for Scotty until he started dogging him. J Okay, let's not act like

239
00:19:07.160 --> 00:19:11.480
that. So we're spending a lot
of time talking about on how great Michael

240
00:19:11.640 --> 00:19:15.359
wasn't Let's talk about what Scotty couldn't
do when Michael left. Okay, you

241
00:19:15.440 --> 00:19:18.359
tried to paint a picture that you
were as good as Michael Jordan. You

242
00:19:18.440 --> 00:19:22.720
went to Portland, you did nothing. You went to Houston, and in

243
00:19:22.720 --> 00:19:25.839
the media, ap in the media, and the media ate him alive about

244
00:19:25.880 --> 00:19:29.759
that stuff. Right, Nobody eats
Jordan up about nothing. All they talk

245
00:19:29.799 --> 00:19:33.279
about is his sixth championship. They
talk about nothing besides that. They talk

246
00:19:33.319 --> 00:19:37.839
about his gambling debt. They talk
about him hit Kase sell that ten million

247
00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:41.119
dollar house in Chicago. They talk
about him being a terrible owner. Him

248
00:19:41.119 --> 00:19:47.680
and Charles Barkley aren't best friends now
because Charles Barkley got on TV and criticized

249
00:19:47.799 --> 00:19:52.799
Michael's yes men around him. They
don't talk now. Listen, listen here,

250
00:19:52.400 --> 00:19:56.920
Michael Jordan. Listen listen here.
Huh okay, Michael, Michael Jordan

251
00:19:57.000 --> 00:20:02.359
not only did the NBA a favorite
when he retired, he handed Kenny Kenny

252
00:20:02.359 --> 00:20:06.079
the Jet Smith a title. He
handed the Kim Eliju on the title.

253
00:20:06.559 --> 00:20:10.319
And then in ninety eight when he
retired again, Scotty left and went.

254
00:20:10.440 --> 00:20:14.720
He wasn't old. Scotty left and
enjoined the Houston rock or the Portland Trail

255
00:20:14.720 --> 00:20:18.759
Blazons. Couldn't do it. He
went and joined Charles Barkley and Eli Juan

256
00:20:18.880 --> 00:20:22.720
to try to do it in the
Rockets. Couldn't do it. So if

257
00:20:22.720 --> 00:20:25.759
you want to talk about how bad
Michael was, that's cool. Let's talk

258
00:20:25.759 --> 00:20:27.960
about how bad Scotty was. Since
he thinks he's as great as Michael,

259
00:20:29.400 --> 00:20:33.079
let's talk about that. Do a
commentary on that, Nick right, do

260
00:20:33.119 --> 00:20:37.680
a commentary on that. JJ Ready, let's not be disrespectful. Like I

261
00:20:37.720 --> 00:20:41.799
won't let nobody disrespect Lebron, you
shouldn't let nobody disrespect Michael. That's file.

262
00:20:45.240 --> 00:20:47.359
That's still at the end of the
day. You still to turn away

263
00:20:47.359 --> 00:20:49.720
from what we're talking about. No, I'm not you are what am I?

264
00:20:49.880 --> 00:20:56.799
What am I to? Turning away
from Jordan did not have losing seasons.

265
00:20:56.960 --> 00:21:02.640
If you look at his numbers,
Orton never had a bad season outside

266
00:21:02.640 --> 00:21:07.039
of the Washington Wizard years. But
at forty Okay, okay. If that's

267
00:21:07.039 --> 00:21:11.119
the case, then Lebron has never
had a losing season. I Lebron has

268
00:21:11.200 --> 00:21:15.680
never that right because he came in
the league and he put up numbers of

269
00:21:15.720 --> 00:21:18.680
somebody who had been in the league
five years. And I agree with you.

270
00:21:18.960 --> 00:21:25.160
Lebron individual stats were never a losing
season. His team didn't win titles.

271
00:21:25.279 --> 00:21:30.119
If you said the Bulls didn't win
championships before Scotty, cool, we

272
00:21:30.160 --> 00:21:33.720
know that that's facts. No,
it's facts. Jordan one dump championships,

273
00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:40.359
Jordan one defensive Players of the Year, Jordan one scoring titles all before Scotty.

274
00:21:40.640 --> 00:21:44.359
The narrative that he was a loser
has to stop. His team didn't

275
00:21:44.359 --> 00:21:51.359
win doesn't make that, doesn't make
this second. This ain't This ain't the

276
00:21:51.440 --> 00:21:56.400
Chicago Michael. Jordan's Michael. It's
the Chicago bull Michael. I got Cleland

277
00:21:56.480 --> 00:22:00.319
Cavaliers. Michael, they lose.
I got you talk about the star player.

278
00:22:00.559 --> 00:22:03.960
Michael Jordan was a star player.
Hey, y'all just lost to the

279
00:22:03.000 --> 00:22:08.240
Boston Celtics for one We gotta get
better. Hey, Lebron, y'all just

280
00:22:08.240 --> 00:22:11.400
got swept by the Denver Nuggets.
We gotta get better. And you take

281
00:22:11.440 --> 00:22:14.759
it to the chenny. He keep
it moving. Now, why ya actually

282
00:22:14.759 --> 00:22:18.480
like this stuff? Never happened.
It's just, you know, because no

283
00:22:18.519 --> 00:22:19.759
one's calling on. Let's move on
to the next topic. No, no,

284
00:22:19.759 --> 00:22:22.240
no, we don't get to end
it just because y'all don't feel like

285
00:22:22.240 --> 00:22:26.240
talking about it. About ninety minutes
talking about Lebron, talking about that you

286
00:22:26.359 --> 00:22:32.480
refused your refusing knowledge that Jordan was
part of a losing team. That's not

287
00:22:32.559 --> 00:22:36.319
the question. You said Jordan was
a loser. He was on the losing

288
00:22:36.359 --> 00:22:38.519
team. The loser. Asked the
question. If Michael was on a losing

289
00:22:38.559 --> 00:22:42.480
team, ask the questions, So, Michael, Michael Jordan was on a

290
00:22:42.480 --> 00:22:47.160
losing team. Was Michael Jordan the
player a loser? No, he was

291
00:22:47.240 --> 00:22:51.559
not. Stats don't lie, Awards
don't lie. Let's move on. Record.

292
00:22:51.759 --> 00:22:56.680
Records don't lie either. Records don't
lie either. The NBA. The

293
00:22:56.960 --> 00:23:03.200
NBA is elected All for team every
year up until the Wizards. The NBA

294
00:23:03.599 --> 00:23:11.960
is considering changing the All Star formats
back to East versus West. Michael,

295
00:23:11.000 --> 00:23:15.960
I got your back, bro I
got you bad, I got you.

296
00:23:15.079 --> 00:23:18.680
Yeah, just keep holding his nut
sacks all the way to all the way

297
00:23:18.680 --> 00:23:22.720
through the course. You're talking about
nut sacks. If I'm holding he is

298
00:23:22.759 --> 00:23:26.039
what you holding Lebron? You just
want to fight us over Jordan's not about

299
00:23:26.079 --> 00:23:30.319
Jordan was a loser. You dang
you. You almost slapped him. You

300
00:23:30.440 --> 00:23:36.599
dang your flipped table, flapping table
so hard you could have slapping to come

301
00:23:36.599 --> 00:23:38.319
on, man, nut sack,
find another word, find another way to

302
00:23:38.319 --> 00:23:45.160
say that said to me, damn
said they didn't think derogatory to you about

303
00:23:45.279 --> 00:23:48.680
Lebron other than hit Lebron should be
claiming you on his taxes. That is

304
00:23:48.720 --> 00:23:52.920
not the same of holding up.
I need to be. You need to

305
00:23:52.920 --> 00:23:56.200
put me on pay roll. I'll
get that household. Were you holding his

306
00:23:56.319 --> 00:24:02.000
nuts? You should be. NBA
is considering see if X rated. If

307
00:24:02.039 --> 00:24:07.039
I'm holding it, Lebrons's dangling in
your face? How about that we'll take

308
00:24:07.599 --> 00:24:12.640
the NBA. NBA is considering changing
the all star format back the East versus

309
00:24:12.720 --> 00:24:17.240
West. Do you like her dislikes? Well, this makes the NBA games

310
00:24:17.319 --> 00:24:26.240
more competitive. I like East West. It makes it a little more competitive

311
00:24:26.319 --> 00:24:32.359
to me, because you want to
go against the East. You're gonna meet

312
00:24:32.359 --> 00:24:33.920
the East in the finals. Yeah, and you're gonna meet the Western the

313
00:24:33.960 --> 00:24:38.720
finals. So I liked it it
like that when it was Remember how when

314
00:24:38.759 --> 00:24:45.200
it was Jordan's and who was in
the East back the Dan on the same

315
00:24:45.200 --> 00:24:49.720
team what Jordan Shack were on the
same team from the East? Yeah,

316
00:24:49.880 --> 00:24:56.240
Orlando, Yeah, Yeah, it
was like it was like Scottie Pippett and

317
00:24:56.480 --> 00:25:03.279
uh Shack penny Ny right away,
yeah, grand Hill, like when you

318
00:25:03.359 --> 00:25:07.759
when you got like when you got
because like right now, I think in

319
00:25:07.799 --> 00:25:11.440
the NBA, oh, it might
be like a landslide. To be really

320
00:25:11.480 --> 00:25:18.480
honest with you, all the top
of your heads. Five stars, you're

321
00:25:18.559 --> 00:25:22.880
started from the Eastern from the West, well right now, right now East

322
00:25:23.000 --> 00:25:33.519
Jannis Uh, Trey Young, Uh
shooting guard. You got to you gotta

323
00:25:33.519 --> 00:25:37.799
think about all stars. No,
I'm talking about people. Pick five players

324
00:25:37.799 --> 00:25:41.519
from the East. Would you consider
on your all Star team? And start?

325
00:25:41.559 --> 00:25:45.880
You're starting five and fireflayer from the
West is easy. Kevin Durant,

326
00:25:47.519 --> 00:25:55.480
uh Joker, Steph Curry, Jamal
Murray and what is that for that?

327
00:25:55.559 --> 00:25:59.880
Five? Um? And um John
Moran. So you're really just gonna skip

328
00:25:59.920 --> 00:26:03.400
a whe Lebron keeping. You said
starting five. You said starting five as

329
00:26:04.119 --> 00:26:10.519
Lebron James. Okay, Kevin Durant, you skipped over. He would have

330
00:26:10.519 --> 00:26:12.680
been the sixth man we're talking about
right now. You said, right now

331
00:26:12.799 --> 00:26:18.279
Lebron is started talking about the playoffs, talking about the All Star Game.

332
00:26:18.480 --> 00:26:22.279
Okay, five, Lebron, Steph
Joker, No you pick. You picked

333
00:26:23.160 --> 00:26:29.839
Lebron, Steph Joker, Kevin Durant, and Devin Booker. So there's a

334
00:26:29.839 --> 00:26:33.720
lot. So here's why I don't
like it because the league is still Although

335
00:26:33.880 --> 00:26:37.279
the teams are balanced, the league
is unbalanced because the star power is where

336
00:26:37.480 --> 00:26:40.480
in the Western Conference? No,
No, because you got Yannis, you

337
00:26:40.480 --> 00:26:47.880
got Tatum, you got Brown,
you got Jim James, Harden in the

338
00:26:47.960 --> 00:26:52.920
West. Now here's the thing,
Spider, It's gonna be hard to find

339
00:26:53.039 --> 00:27:03.400
starters. Luca Joker, Murray Staff, Ron, k d Booker, Anthony

340
00:27:03.559 --> 00:27:08.599
Davis, Kawhi, Leonard, Paul
George, what's my man from um uh

341
00:27:08.720 --> 00:27:15.359
Sacramento? Darren five. Now you're
just naming star players we're talking about,

342
00:27:15.359 --> 00:27:18.440
but these are all all Stars and
all stars. Anthony Davis gonna being All

343
00:27:18.480 --> 00:27:22.920
Star team? Come on, man, Ad may not this year but he

344
00:27:22.960 --> 00:27:26.200
was an All Star. Last year
he was All Star. He was a

345
00:27:26.359 --> 00:27:30.240
d has not missed UPNY All Star
selections. It was just Lebron. He's

346
00:27:30.240 --> 00:27:33.480
still in All Stars. But the
point making is this for me, it's

347
00:27:34.039 --> 00:27:41.640
on the East, is dwelling be
Jannie Trey yep, I said, Trey

348
00:27:41.960 --> 00:27:52.680
um Oh, Mitchell, Donovan,
Donovan, Mitchell and point guard. That's

349
00:27:52.720 --> 00:27:56.920
what I'm saying. In the West
you would have got that already James Harden

350
00:27:57.359 --> 00:28:00.400
and the West she would have got
that done already in the West. But

351
00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:03.039
see, that's the thing though,
I think that it does make it more

352
00:28:03.039 --> 00:28:07.680
competitive. But on the West,
the West is packed, but the West

353
00:28:07.880 --> 00:28:15.440
is um with older players, but
it's packed with stars. So like if

354
00:28:15.519 --> 00:28:19.359
having that finding a starting five,
it would be very interesting. Bronson,

355
00:28:19.559 --> 00:28:26.480
I didn't even think about Tator.
That's who would be Tatum. So umn

356
00:28:26.240 --> 00:28:29.839
I think that I think, I
think it's a good idea. I think

357
00:28:30.079 --> 00:28:32.640
I don't dislike the idea. But
you don't know who's gonna be in the

358
00:28:32.640 --> 00:28:37.160
East after this summer or the West. We know Kyrie's clearly head in to

359
00:28:37.400 --> 00:28:45.000
LA's not Bruh, don't don't.
We got some comments on streamline from Doctor

360
00:28:45.039 --> 00:28:48.880
Bird Scottie feelings are hurt like a
baby. He was singing a different tune

361
00:28:49.039 --> 00:28:55.440
before the last dance. He also
said Scotti is tweaking. Then he said

362
00:28:55.480 --> 00:28:59.960
the media expected great things from Jordan. He exceeded them. He wasn't supposed

363
00:29:00.200 --> 00:29:04.920
to be all time just very good. But back to your question, I

364
00:29:06.039 --> 00:29:10.079
don't mind them splitting it, but
I think the Western Conference is going to

365
00:29:10.160 --> 00:29:15.559
be the dominant conference because as great
as Yannis is, none of those players

366
00:29:15.599 --> 00:29:18.640
we name can be None of the
players in the West that we put up

367
00:29:18.680 --> 00:29:22.160
against Yann can compete with them.
I don't think Johannis can't compete. But

368
00:29:22.200 --> 00:29:26.640
we're talking about the All Star team. There's that word team again, only

369
00:29:26.680 --> 00:29:30.799
Reason and Brown. I ain't buying
it. Bro Yanni's Tatum and Brown against

370
00:29:32.160 --> 00:29:40.000
Lebron, Joker and Staff. Okay, you uh so call the player and

371
00:29:40.119 --> 00:29:47.319
be Joker, next squad Lebron,
do the East, Lebron, Tatum,

372
00:29:51.960 --> 00:29:59.240
Yannest, Tiffer, Tat Yere honest, be honest, go ahead, who

373
00:29:59.279 --> 00:30:04.000
else? We've already seen that in
the final. We got it. You

374
00:30:04.079 --> 00:30:11.039
know, see what happens, to
see what happens. I don't mind it

375
00:30:11.200 --> 00:30:15.319
Keys, I don't, but I
do like the fact that it shuffles it

376
00:30:15.400 --> 00:30:18.480
up a bit. I like the
whole like Lebron being able to draft the

377
00:30:18.519 --> 00:30:22.960
players. Yannis, But Yannis to
me, man, you don't have to

378
00:30:22.960 --> 00:30:26.480
be loyal in the All Star team. Bro pick the best player. We

379
00:30:26.519 --> 00:30:30.599
want to give everybody a chance.
This is supposed to this is supposed to

380
00:30:30.599 --> 00:30:34.400
be a show. And I'm tired
of the draft situation because the situations like

381
00:30:34.480 --> 00:30:37.480
that. Um. I think that
like, hey, you gotta verse for

382
00:30:37.799 --> 00:30:41.960
the best players on the East.
I think the East versus West gives it

383
00:30:42.079 --> 00:30:45.000
some type of competitive if they're on
top of that, maybe throwing an incentive

384
00:30:45.200 --> 00:30:49.440
in they're like, uh, home
home court of the winner, like they're

385
00:30:49.440 --> 00:30:55.160
doing baseball. So I think that
type of stuff can bring more competitive adds

386
00:30:55.200 --> 00:30:57.359
to the NBA All Star Game.
I mean, nowadays people just trying not

387
00:30:57.400 --> 00:31:02.720
to get hurt and just playing less
defense. That's what this Kobe thing was

388
00:31:02.720 --> 00:31:07.319
supposed to be. So um that's
my little take on it. UM.

389
00:31:07.359 --> 00:31:14.359
Moving on, the NBA Competitive Committee
is considering penalizing flop flops with a technical

390
00:31:14.400 --> 00:31:17.559
file free throw. Is this a
good or a bad idea? For I

391
00:31:17.599 --> 00:31:22.519
love it. I think it's I
think it's a good idea because it's destroying

392
00:31:22.640 --> 00:31:26.920
the game and it's injuring a lot
of players. Here's the thing about that,

393
00:31:26.960 --> 00:31:32.480
though it's hard in live action,
it's hard to tell if the person

394
00:31:32.640 --> 00:31:34.960
is flopping. I said a live
action go to the monitor. But I

395
00:31:36.519 --> 00:31:37.680
have time for that. Yeah,
you do. You you don't have the

396
00:31:37.720 --> 00:31:41.839
time. You don't have the time
for every time somebody flopping. I guarantee

397
00:31:41.920 --> 00:31:44.400
you. If the NBA makes a
flop rule, they're gonna have to go

398
00:31:44.440 --> 00:31:47.799
to the monitor. Because here's the
thing right now, you can't take it

399
00:31:47.799 --> 00:31:51.920
back. Right So if you go
all a file on Draymond, unless you

400
00:31:52.000 --> 00:31:55.200
challenge the play, you can't take
it back. So you have the challenges

401
00:31:55.240 --> 00:31:57.720
already. But if you add I
guess my thinking about that, it's gonna

402
00:31:57.720 --> 00:32:01.640
be a lot of you call it
because it's what has happened, is this,

403
00:32:01.920 --> 00:32:05.640
But the players they're trying, they're
slowing a game down. How you

404
00:32:05.680 --> 00:32:09.160
doing this? Because how many times
if he got people flop? It just

405
00:32:09.160 --> 00:32:13.839
just for the ref to seed in
live action and call personal files Chris Paul

406
00:32:13.920 --> 00:32:17.119
or such as such as Chris Paul, Marcus Smart like these guy, James

407
00:32:17.119 --> 00:32:22.200
Harden. These guys live off this
type of stuff. So when you took

408
00:32:22.240 --> 00:32:24.920
about we're gonna penalize a free throw, then you gotta look at the monitor

409
00:32:24.920 --> 00:32:27.799
where you gotta go back to the
monitor. That's another one, two,

410
00:32:27.880 --> 00:32:32.079
three minutes then. And it's on
one hand, I do see it like

411
00:32:32.119 --> 00:32:35.720
that, But on other hand,
I just I'm just not the biggest fan

412
00:32:35.799 --> 00:32:39.079
of it because it's gonna slow the
game down. And it does. I

413
00:32:39.119 --> 00:32:44.880
mean Luca slows it up anyway,
I mean he does. And to make

414
00:32:44.920 --> 00:32:49.359
the game competitive again, you gotta
stop the bullcrap. And there's a lot

415
00:32:49.400 --> 00:32:52.920
of bullcrap happening in these games,
a lot of traveling, a lot of

416
00:32:52.960 --> 00:32:57.160
double dribbles, a lot of flopping, a lot of note calls. Traveling

417
00:32:57.240 --> 00:32:59.759
been around for a long time,
it has, but now it's picking up.

418
00:33:00.680 --> 00:33:04.480
Yeah, it's up with these point
guards. With these point guards,

419
00:33:04.519 --> 00:33:07.240
I mean older players, Lamron,
you know, they they kind of feed

420
00:33:07.279 --> 00:33:12.000
off that type of stuff because you
know who they are. I don't think.

421
00:33:12.880 --> 00:33:15.200
I just feel like I just feel
like you're riding a slippery slope with

422
00:33:15.240 --> 00:33:23.200
that to do something because flopping,
we've seen where some critical calls have shifted

423
00:33:23.200 --> 00:33:28.079
the outcome of the game. And
I think that's I think that it's an

424
00:33:28.119 --> 00:33:30.839
unridden rule with referees. I'm not
gonna call. I'm not gonna make a

425
00:33:30.880 --> 00:33:36.319
call to determine a basketball game unless
it's obvious. Last night, for instance,

426
00:33:36.480 --> 00:33:40.680
for instance, Jimmy Butler made that
an obvious call, like you have

427
00:33:40.839 --> 00:33:45.359
to call this. But if let's
say that was a different circumstances, like

428
00:33:45.400 --> 00:33:49.799
the going back to the Bucks when
they play in Miami, he put Jimmy

429
00:33:49.839 --> 00:33:53.640
Butler that buzzer beater to send it
to overtime. He pushed off on Pat

430
00:33:53.720 --> 00:33:58.559
Connington to get that, to get
that, to get that lived a file.

431
00:33:58.799 --> 00:34:00.559
Now we're looking back that saying it
should have been a file. But

432
00:34:00.839 --> 00:34:06.119
in the last thirty seconds of a
game, they're not gonna call something like

433
00:34:06.160 --> 00:34:08.000
that to determine the game. Then
how do you call it? Then?

434
00:34:08.119 --> 00:34:10.960
Last night, you just don't call
it. Oh no, last night,

435
00:34:12.039 --> 00:34:15.320
like last night was too obvious of
a call. It was too obvious not

436
00:34:15.360 --> 00:34:17.440
to call it. That, not
that they played the Bucks, it was

437
00:34:17.559 --> 00:34:21.719
very obvious. Everybody in the arena
jumped out of their seat, like the

438
00:34:21.800 --> 00:34:27.159
Files. Yeah, I think it's
different when you're shooting in your gaining position.

439
00:34:27.440 --> 00:34:30.679
No. Well, and more importantly, like Lebron, Like Lebron,

440
00:34:30.920 --> 00:34:35.559
that Lebron shot in a regular game
with five minutes left, ten minutes left,

441
00:34:35.599 --> 00:34:37.599
they might have called a file let. That was a filein. Think

442
00:34:37.639 --> 00:34:44.960
about Think about Pat Beverley, right, Pat Beverley has said a number of

443
00:34:45.000 --> 00:34:49.239
times how many games Chris Paul should
have filed out because of his flopping.

444
00:34:49.360 --> 00:34:52.480
He gets away with it. That
has to stop, man, it has

445
00:34:52.519 --> 00:34:57.320
to stop. Players are getting injured. Marcus marks the king. But Brin

446
00:34:57.519 --> 00:35:00.639
is bad with it too, not
as bad as others. And I think

447
00:35:00.719 --> 00:35:02.719
players need to know, like man, you cannot flop your way to a

448
00:35:02.840 --> 00:35:07.960
victory. Played the game the way
it's supposed to be played. Let's say,

449
00:35:07.000 --> 00:35:12.480
work smarter than I heard, but
I get it. I like um.

450
00:35:13.039 --> 00:35:17.559
Carmelo Anthony officially retired this week.
Uh, there's talks in the different

451
00:35:17.880 --> 00:35:24.239
Denver Nuggets organization that retiring about retiring
his jersey number number fifteen along with a

452
00:35:24.440 --> 00:35:29.920
joker when it's time. Thoughts on
two players having the same number retired on

453
00:35:29.920 --> 00:35:34.079
one team. First, Well,
first of all, yeah, let's let's

454
00:35:34.719 --> 00:35:40.639
get mellow with flowers. First,
shout out to Melo, man, I

455
00:35:42.719 --> 00:35:47.320
want to start back, but go
what do you guys think about the his

456
00:35:47.440 --> 00:35:52.840
jersey being retired in Denver along with
Jokers? So you know how I am

457
00:35:52.840 --> 00:35:57.000
about retirement jerseys. I think it's
great to respect the player, but Denver

458
00:35:57.079 --> 00:36:00.400
holes Carmelo nothing. He didn't bring
them a title. He demanded a trade.

459
00:36:00.800 --> 00:36:05.000
He flopped on the court to get
traded. Do you remember that when

460
00:36:05.039 --> 00:36:08.280
he faked fainted on the court.
So you can respect and give him his

461
00:36:08.360 --> 00:36:12.559
flowers and thank him and give him
a video. But I don't think you

462
00:36:12.599 --> 00:36:15.840
owe him retirement. That's just me. Joker's gonna deliver them their first title

463
00:36:15.920 --> 00:36:19.679
en franchise. Well, first of
all, let's not let's not counter efty

464
00:36:19.679 --> 00:36:24.280
before they get hatched. So my
thing of mine, I was gonna put

465
00:36:24.320 --> 00:36:30.679
that that got you wearing that fake
uh LeVar Lakers had So the Joker will

466
00:36:30.760 --> 00:36:35.360
go down in history. Is one
of the NBA's greatest players ever if he

467
00:36:35.400 --> 00:36:42.119
wins. Carmelo is one of the
greatest players already, and and and and

468
00:36:42.119 --> 00:36:45.199
again. What I'm saying is I
wouldn't mind them doing it, but I

469
00:36:45.199 --> 00:36:47.639
would be okay if they didn't.
Just like the Bucks, Ray Allen laugh

470
00:36:49.440 --> 00:36:52.440
Bucks don't owe him anything. Him
and Yan is worth the same number,

471
00:36:52.400 --> 00:36:55.559
I think. I right, Yeah, you're right. Here's the thing about

472
00:36:55.559 --> 00:37:00.239
Carrela Anthony. Carrela Anthony did take
deliver Nuggets to the conference to conference finals.

473
00:37:00.320 --> 00:37:02.400
I don't know if you took them
to the finals. I don't think

474
00:37:02.480 --> 00:37:06.599
Carmelo has ever been out of the
second round of the playoffs. Yes,

475
00:37:06.719 --> 00:37:09.000
he's been to the Copcraffer Finals.
I don't know the Lakers. They lost

476
00:37:09.000 --> 00:37:13.360
to the Lakers Conference finals. Are
you sure? Yes? So my thing

477
00:37:13.400 --> 00:37:16.280
about that is this, I don't
think. I don't think it's NBA final.

478
00:37:16.360 --> 00:37:20.159
I think him to the conference finals
they lost against LA I believe.

479
00:37:20.840 --> 00:37:27.320
My thing is, I think we're
getting to the point in the NBA where

480
00:37:28.119 --> 00:37:34.280
guys are picking up numbers unless it's
an obvious number like twenty three. Okay,

481
00:37:34.400 --> 00:37:37.599
he's been to the finals one time, you are NBA Finals, No,

482
00:37:37.639 --> 00:37:40.480
the conference even to the conference finals. They lost to the Lakers.

483
00:37:40.599 --> 00:37:45.320
Yeah. So my thing is,
I'm not the biggest I wasn't the biggest

484
00:37:45.360 --> 00:37:50.199
fan of when I first heard about
it, But Carmelo has done a lot

485
00:37:50.280 --> 00:37:52.719
for the Denver Nuggets and they were
in the playoffs every year he was there.

486
00:37:52.880 --> 00:37:55.079
Yeah, so he has done he
was a bucket, he has.

487
00:37:55.280 --> 00:37:59.000
He has done a lot for the
Denver Nuggets. I think if he goes

488
00:37:59.039 --> 00:38:00.519
back on it, he'll we want
to change some things, but you know,

489
00:38:00.599 --> 00:38:04.000
the thing to here nor there,
But I think you have to.

490
00:38:05.079 --> 00:38:07.679
I think if Joker would have knew
who Caammelo Anthony was, he maybe he

491
00:38:07.800 --> 00:38:12.320
might not have picked up the number
fifteen. But I think we're also getting

492
00:38:12.360 --> 00:38:15.320
to the point where these guys like
I don't think, correct me if I'm

493
00:38:15.360 --> 00:38:22.079
wrong. The San Antonio Spurs had
not retired Tim Duncan Jersey, not yet

494
00:38:22.159 --> 00:38:24.719
because he's still fresh. Yes,
so someone a player wanted to pick up

495
00:38:24.840 --> 00:38:30.519
number twenty one fresh you ain't been
gone, but what three four years?

496
00:38:30.559 --> 00:38:32.519
Maybe gone? Ten years? Has
he been going that already? They should

497
00:38:32.519 --> 00:38:37.920
have been retired Tim Duncan almost No
about ten years because he played Lebron.

498
00:38:37.159 --> 00:38:39.719
He didn't retire his number. No, Yeah, sure, I don't think

499
00:38:39.719 --> 00:38:43.920
they retired his number. I don't. I'm not sure check on that.

500
00:38:44.800 --> 00:38:47.079
But if a player wanted to pick
up number twenty one for San Antonio,

501
00:38:47.159 --> 00:38:52.880
they could, Why wouldn't that twenty
sixteen eight years ago, When did they

502
00:38:52.880 --> 00:38:57.320
retire New Jersey? They did retire
his jersey, Okay, they retired.

503
00:38:57.719 --> 00:39:00.880
What about what about David Robertson.
Robinson has been retired. I know what

504
00:39:00.920 --> 00:39:07.360
this jersey? I'm yeah, they
were the Spurs retired Jersey's include um,

505
00:39:07.480 --> 00:39:14.119
David Robinson's fifty, George Gurvin,
James Silas, Johnny Moore, Sean Elliott,

506
00:39:14.159 --> 00:39:17.199
Avery Johnson, and Bruce Bone Really
okay, now here we go.

507
00:39:17.400 --> 00:39:22.719
What about Tony Parker, Mina Janobli, those guys number nine, number twenty.

508
00:39:22.960 --> 00:39:25.840
If an NBA player on this a
antone Spurs won to pick up the

509
00:39:25.920 --> 00:39:31.559
number up they could, does that
player deserve Diana Hana numbers left? I

510
00:39:31.599 --> 00:39:37.920
mean, we gotta define what classifies
the player's number to get retired? Player

511
00:39:37.960 --> 00:39:39.519
four team. Let me just ask
you all this when it's all setting done.

512
00:39:39.840 --> 00:39:44.159
Does Johns get his number retired?
Yes? Does Chris Middleton get his

513
00:39:44.199 --> 00:39:51.599
number retired? Yes? No?
Yeah, okay, okay. Chris Middleton

514
00:39:51.679 --> 00:39:54.239
to the Bucks, was with Mandu
was to the Spurs? Yes or no,

515
00:39:58.199 --> 00:40:01.960
I'll take that. Does Drew Holler
they get his number retired? Yes,

516
00:40:04.039 --> 00:40:08.360
Casey, they do because they brought
a ring. Okay, Tony Parker,

517
00:40:08.599 --> 00:40:12.199
you say yes the middle, you
say Yester, I might changed my

518
00:40:12.239 --> 00:40:14.239
thing. I'm gonna saying yes,
all three of them should have ring.

519
00:40:14.400 --> 00:40:17.280
I mean retired Jersey because they brought
a ring here first first time in fifty

520
00:40:17.360 --> 00:40:27.159
years. Okay, Tim Duncan,
genoblely Parker? Are they not retired and

521
00:40:27.320 --> 00:40:30.519
David Robinson? And Robinson has retired
David Robinson until Lukas retired, but Genoble

522
00:40:30.639 --> 00:40:34.480
and Tony Parker not. So if
I really, if I'm twenty one,

523
00:40:35.039 --> 00:40:37.360
I don't know who these guys are
really like that because I'm the only word.

524
00:40:37.400 --> 00:40:43.000
I'm young. Number I want number
twenty. Anybody gonna say nothing,

525
00:40:43.119 --> 00:40:45.440
they don't give it to me.
Well, Joker knew who cocked Carmela was?

526
00:40:45.559 --> 00:40:49.119
No, he didn't. Joker can't
more receives bro Yeah, I remember

527
00:40:49.199 --> 00:40:52.639
Joker just started playing basketball. I
think they said in high school. They

528
00:40:52.679 --> 00:40:55.239
just realized he wanted to play basketball. So that's my that's my point.

529
00:40:55.400 --> 00:41:00.360
Everybody knew who Carmelo was. Man
um uh, Tony Parkers Jersey is retired.

530
00:41:00.599 --> 00:41:04.760
It is my new Jenoble Jersey is
retired. How you go over that

531
00:41:04.880 --> 00:41:07.599
list? Well, that was a
list that was just the Google list,

532
00:41:07.639 --> 00:41:09.800
like, these are the players that
retired. We're looking for Tim Duckan wasn't

533
00:41:09.800 --> 00:41:13.719
looking for anyone else. So all
those players jerseys are retired. Here's the

534
00:41:13.719 --> 00:41:17.000
thing. When the NBA retires twenty
three world, I right, no one

535
00:41:17.039 --> 00:41:21.679
will be able to wear twenty three. I believe it will come. Unfortunately,

536
00:41:21.719 --> 00:41:24.000
I think it'll come when when Jordan
is no longer with us, because

537
00:41:24.000 --> 00:41:29.440
they wait to do stuff like that. But Jordan to basketball is what Wayne

538
00:41:29.480 --> 00:41:34.280
Gretzky was to hockey, right.
Wayne gretzky jerseys hangs in every NHL state

539
00:41:34.880 --> 00:41:38.960
right because of what he did.
But those are obvious. So I'm getting

540
00:41:38.960 --> 00:41:43.639
to the point. The point is
the Milwaukee Bucks won't retire Ray Allen,

541
00:41:43.679 --> 00:41:46.159
and that's okay because jann Is is
the person that make the difference and brought

542
00:41:46.239 --> 00:41:50.719
the title wearing the number. So
let yann Is half thirty four, a

543
00:41:50.719 --> 00:41:54.639
loon joker is going to be the
one potentially to bring them their first title

544
00:41:54.679 --> 00:42:00.000
in French. Get a vote.
I don't think he does. Bro See,

545
00:42:00.039 --> 00:42:05.199
Big Dog was good for us,
but then the Bucks at Big Dog

546
00:42:05.360 --> 00:42:09.000
was great for us, but the
Bucks as a team was terrible with Big

547
00:42:09.039 --> 00:42:17.039
Dog average, besides the year we
went to the conference finals and lost back

548
00:42:17.039 --> 00:42:22.559
in two thousand, big dog year. Besides the year of two thousand.

549
00:42:22.960 --> 00:42:27.159
You know what I'm saying. So
I'm a mellow is dope, But Joker

550
00:42:27.239 --> 00:42:30.920
might say, you know what,
you could have the fifteen retired, I've

551
00:42:30.960 --> 00:42:35.599
moved to sixteen. Bron did it. Bron did it in LA when he

552
00:42:35.840 --> 00:42:39.719
left, he went from twenty three
to six Miami because Jordan he couldn't wear

553
00:42:39.800 --> 00:42:45.239
twenty three. That is absolutely wrong. When Bron got to LA, I'm

554
00:42:45.239 --> 00:42:50.960
sorry, Miami, twenty three was
retired and he could not wear twenty three.

555
00:42:51.079 --> 00:42:57.000
He could not wear twentye You know
who acknowledge that, pat Riley.

556
00:42:57.119 --> 00:43:04.920
That's that's my pointed to Jordan in
Miami. They're the first there and forty

557
00:43:04.920 --> 00:43:12.360
five. They're the first team that
retired Michael Jordan's number after the Bull,

558
00:43:12.559 --> 00:43:15.239
after the Bull, after he left. They're the first team, and they're

559
00:43:15.239 --> 00:43:19.239
they're actually the leading people. They're
trying to get the NBA to follow suit

560
00:43:19.280 --> 00:43:22.840
to retire. The point is why
if no one's there to acknowledge that that

561
00:43:22.960 --> 00:43:27.199
it's not gonna get done. Yeah, that's my point. So my thing

562
00:43:27.360 --> 00:43:30.880
is like Joker, not know who
at the time, not knowing who Carmelo

563
00:43:30.920 --> 00:43:35.480
Anthony is coming too, the league
picking that number is not I don't faught

564
00:43:35.599 --> 00:43:37.960
him for that. So because keep
in mind, I'm asking this question,

565
00:43:37.000 --> 00:43:40.280
like, if you if both these
guys were retiring him in fifteen, are

566
00:43:40.320 --> 00:43:44.079
you cool with that? I'm fine
with it. If they fined, I'm

567
00:43:44.079 --> 00:43:45.800
fine. But I don't think people
should be mad if Joker says no,

568
00:43:47.000 --> 00:43:52.639
because they keep in mind Joker's draft. Nobody expected Joker to be who Joker

569
00:43:52.840 --> 00:44:01.679
is. Nobody Joker went super late
in um um the twenty fifteen drift,

570
00:44:01.880 --> 00:44:07.280
right super He was a forty first
pick in the drive, so him not

571
00:44:07.559 --> 00:44:12.400
him not knowing who Carmelo was picking
fifteen, somebody could have said, oh,

572
00:44:12.480 --> 00:44:15.840
no, Carmelo is an all time
great, he can't have that number.

573
00:44:15.079 --> 00:44:19.360
Someone could have said that it was
the forty first pick, that nobody

574
00:44:19.440 --> 00:44:21.960
knew who the heck he was.
And my thing is this, So here's

575
00:44:21.960 --> 00:44:24.519
the here's what Wikipedia says about retired
numbers once a team is retired. Once

576
00:44:24.519 --> 00:44:29.239
the numbers retired, no future player
from the NBA from the team may wear

577
00:44:29.280 --> 00:44:34.400
that that number on their uniform unless
the player so honor permits it. Yeah,

578
00:44:34.440 --> 00:44:37.039
However, in many cases the number
cannot be used at all, it

579
00:44:37.159 --> 00:44:40.920
can. Remember, Jordan got fined
for bringing the twenty three out of retirement

580
00:44:42.039 --> 00:44:46.880
without permission. So if it can
be a situation permission from though the NBA,

581
00:44:47.119 --> 00:44:52.280
the NBA has to. So remember
when Jordan first retired to twenty three

582
00:44:52.360 --> 00:44:55.559
and he brought it back out,
he got fined and they had to unretire

583
00:44:55.639 --> 00:45:00.760
the number and then re retire when
he left again. That's too much,

584
00:45:00.559 --> 00:45:06.760
that's too much. He seems like, what Yeah, I mean, that's

585
00:45:06.760 --> 00:45:10.840
saying with Lebron, if Lebron ever
left the game the back Jersey retired,

586
00:45:12.320 --> 00:45:15.119
I'm saying, if he ever left
the game, say Lebron retires at the

587
00:45:15.159 --> 00:45:19.599
end of the season, they're gonna
instantly retire his numbers in La, Miami,

588
00:45:19.960 --> 00:45:22.639
Cleveland and say he comes back next
year. Hold up, say he

589
00:45:22.679 --> 00:45:25.559
comes back next year and he wants
to wear six again. He can't just

590
00:45:25.599 --> 00:45:30.079
say give me my six. No, he has to go I'm gonna retire

591
00:45:30.159 --> 00:45:35.519
the six bunch of crap. But
I'm fine, I'm fine if they don't,

592
00:45:35.559 --> 00:45:38.519
but try out to mellow for a
spectacular career. One of the best

593
00:45:38.880 --> 00:45:43.400
jump shooters I think I've ever seen
play the game. I'm glad he got

594
00:45:43.400 --> 00:45:46.599
his Olympic medals because he didn't win
rings, but he is a three time

595
00:45:46.639 --> 00:45:52.400
Olympico. Matter. Where does Mellow
rank in your all time small forwards?

596
00:45:52.960 --> 00:45:58.920
Listen to me again, where does
he rank all time? Put your small

597
00:45:59.519 --> 00:46:06.440
forward? Top five? Really?
Top five? Yep? Okay, Um,

598
00:46:06.440 --> 00:46:09.400
this is when I actually have to
marinate on because I don't really know.

599
00:46:10.000 --> 00:46:15.519
Um. Scotty before Lebron, Scotty
was my favorite small forward and Scotty

600
00:46:15.719 --> 00:46:20.159
is still up there as one of
my favorite smalls forwards. To spite you

601
00:46:20.199 --> 00:46:23.400
know what's going on, but you
think about the NBA. Man have had

602
00:46:23.760 --> 00:46:30.719
great small forwards, Bro, great
small forwards. Um, so just think

603
00:46:30.719 --> 00:46:38.039
of it like this. You got
like Kawhi, Leonard Lebron, Brand Hill

604
00:46:38.239 --> 00:46:45.519
Lebron, Kevin Durant, Julius,
Irvin John Bird Bird John, have a

605
00:46:45.599 --> 00:46:52.360
check, Scott Wilkins. I'll say
top ten. I'm happy you have to

606
00:46:52.400 --> 00:46:57.519
go with Keis because you got Katie. I'm gonna say top twenty, top

607
00:46:57.559 --> 00:47:00.920
ten, top twenty, top ten, Meller was bucket, bucket, top

608
00:47:00.960 --> 00:47:06.559
fifteen. I'm gonna Dominique will just
a dunker. Top fifteen here, that's

609
00:47:06.559 --> 00:47:07.719
what puts him over him. So
this is this is what I'm gonna do

610
00:47:07.760 --> 00:47:14.400
this real quick, let me just
read off of most don't do that because

611
00:47:14.400 --> 00:47:16.159
this is off the top of our
head. Really time. We don't research

612
00:47:16.199 --> 00:47:20.920
here, heads up, all you
NBA fans, we don't research. We

613
00:47:21.039 --> 00:47:22.679
research, but we do it on
the spot. This is off the top

614
00:47:22.679 --> 00:47:25.360
of the this is off the top
of the question. It's on the top

615
00:47:25.400 --> 00:47:29.280
of the dog the real quick,
off the top of the door. Next

616
00:47:29.320 --> 00:47:36.880
week we will bring it back.
If he is your top fifteen or let's

617
00:47:36.920 --> 00:47:39.639
say you say let's say you say
top fifteen, I mean fourteen players better

618
00:47:39.679 --> 00:47:44.280
that you think are better than Carmelo
anthem. If you say top ten,

619
00:47:44.360 --> 00:47:46.440
I need nine. That's your question. We'll write it down. Think of

620
00:47:46.519 --> 00:47:52.920
this scenario, Tracy McGrady or Carmelo. Carmelo, they played two different positions.

621
00:47:52.920 --> 00:47:57.199
But he's a he's a shooting guard. He's really a small for.

622
00:47:57.440 --> 00:48:00.280
He was really a small for small, it's really a small for. He's

623
00:48:00.320 --> 00:48:02.119
a shooting guy. So here,
I give you one better. Keys,

624
00:48:02.400 --> 00:48:09.440
let's do this ze Keys Kawhi Leonard
or Carmelo over Kawhi, Yes, Kesey,

625
00:48:10.000 --> 00:48:15.599
I'll go. I agree, Vince
Carter, this is a shooting guard.

626
00:48:15.840 --> 00:48:20.880
He's just a small forward, a
small forward where you from looking at

627
00:48:20.880 --> 00:48:28.360
the Paul Pierce or Carmelo, Carmelo
Kesey. But no, next week we're

628
00:48:28.360 --> 00:48:31.599
gonna bring it back. I need
fifteen or ten players better than him.

629
00:48:32.480 --> 00:48:36.639
We'll bring it back a list right
here. So Carmelo probably will be my

630
00:48:36.719 --> 00:48:39.760
top fifteen. He might could be
my top eight, because remember I don't

631
00:48:39.800 --> 00:48:45.519
pick players I haven't seen play.
So Julius Irving, this is your personal

632
00:48:45.599 --> 00:48:49.679
right. Julius Irvin wouldn't be in
my top things because I have never seen

633
00:48:49.760 --> 00:48:52.599
him. But see, I like
a lot of small forwards from back in

634
00:48:52.639 --> 00:48:57.039
the day. You gotta think I
like Glenn Rice, I like Jamal mash

635
00:48:57.119 --> 00:49:04.440
Burn, I like Petro Stryakovic was
a beast, like a bucket. But

636
00:49:04.440 --> 00:49:07.960
but none of the players you just
named the map and art Bello that better

637
00:49:07.000 --> 00:49:13.480
than Carmelo, grim Hill, not
better than Melot. No. No,

638
00:49:15.440 --> 00:49:17.639
so next week we're gonna be We're
gonna bring it back next week and we're

639
00:49:17.639 --> 00:49:22.719
gonna talk about we're gonna I want
you to name ten or fifteen, wherever

640
00:49:22.840 --> 00:49:27.239
there is, wherever he lied.
But I need amount big better than you

641
00:49:27.360 --> 00:49:30.840
Camerelo. I'm gonna just say this, the five that we know are better

642
00:49:30.880 --> 00:49:37.280
than Carmelo. Everything else is debatable. Lebron kd Larry Bird, Julius Irvin

643
00:49:37.599 --> 00:49:44.719
and Scottie Pippett. Anything after that
is debatable. For Carmelo up against everything

644
00:49:44.800 --> 00:49:51.159
after that is debatable. So even
Dominique Wilkers Dominos to me, I questioned

645
00:49:51.199 --> 00:49:53.719
if he was a true shooting spa
on four he didn't even make the top

646
00:49:53.760 --> 00:49:58.239
ten list from NBA writers, So
is he really? Is he a shooting

647
00:49:58.239 --> 00:50:01.199
guard? Is he a shooting guar? I said yeah, because he didn't

648
00:50:01.199 --> 00:50:05.719
even make the all time he was
a shooting guard, I mean a small

649
00:50:05.760 --> 00:50:10.760
forward. It's crazy. But moving
on the different speaking of the different nuggets

650
00:50:10.760 --> 00:50:15.679
of different nuggets. Completed the suite
with the Los Angeles Lakers. Aaron Slaughter

651
00:50:15.880 --> 00:50:19.320
disagree with you here, TC.
He said Dominique was more than a ducker.

652
00:50:19.760 --> 00:50:25.280
He was a bucket. Do you
care to respond? Nobody said he

653
00:50:25.320 --> 00:50:30.960
wasn't a bucket. I'm just saying
like he was more like he was more

654
00:50:30.000 --> 00:50:34.119
of a dunker. He was known
for being a dunker. He wasn't.

655
00:50:34.920 --> 00:50:37.760
He wasn't known for being a killer. Yep, Meller was a killer with

656
00:50:37.760 --> 00:50:40.039
the ball. Yeah yeah, Now
ter typing the chat there, man,

657
00:50:40.079 --> 00:50:43.639
how long have you been watching basketball? I know you have a few years

658
00:50:43.639 --> 00:50:46.920
on us. No, No,
I mean t say that. Thanks.

659
00:50:46.920 --> 00:50:51.679
Thanks. One of the things that
CB talks about it next week. One

660
00:50:51.679 --> 00:50:52.920
of things to CB, back to
it next week. No, you're not

661
00:50:53.000 --> 00:50:55.440
cutting me off here. We're gonna
move on. One of the things that

662
00:50:55.559 --> 00:51:01.960
CB and old heads talk about is
we haven't seen great NBA players. Right,

663
00:51:05.559 --> 00:51:07.199
what does it say he was?
I know he was both, but

664
00:51:07.280 --> 00:51:13.280
his primary was a shooting guard,
right, was a shooting guard? Everybody

665
00:51:13.320 --> 00:51:16.559
knew Dominique as a shooting guard.
Come on, Tray McGrady, but him

666
00:51:16.559 --> 00:51:21.840
too, him too, So speaking
of the different nuggets. They complete the

667
00:51:21.840 --> 00:51:24.320
sweep of the Los Angeles Lakers on
Monday, Nights one thirteen, one eleven.

668
00:51:24.719 --> 00:51:30.239
After the game, Lebron Jane suggested
a retirement. Later on the week,

669
00:51:30.320 --> 00:51:32.159
sources close to him said he'll be
back because it's true, keys in,

670
00:51:34.320 --> 00:51:39.639
he said. Sources nick close to
him should retiring or not? Do

671
00:51:39.719 --> 00:51:44.760
you know Lebron retiler? Yeah?
No, Okay, just you heard it

672
00:51:44.840 --> 00:51:49.159
here. First, Lebron is not
retiring this year. Um, so the

673
00:51:49.199 --> 00:51:54.360
Lakers prepare for the future with Lebron
bring being second string or it should he

674
00:51:54.440 --> 00:51:59.360
be considered the number one option,
and they need to surround a team around

675
00:51:59.440 --> 00:52:02.239
Lebron games. We're gonna start a
local fan. So who do you bring

676
00:52:02.280 --> 00:52:07.360
in as number one? Then?
I well, there's talks of Kyrie,

677
00:52:08.280 --> 00:52:13.920
the kind of talks of trading ad
and getting a couple of picks and a

678
00:52:13.960 --> 00:52:19.639
couple of people who can fulfill his
spot. My knock up. Definitely not

679
00:52:19.760 --> 00:52:22.840
resigning Russell. What do you mean
Russell? Who Angel? Oh, they're

680
00:52:22.840 --> 00:52:24.599
not gonna do it. They're not
doing it for a max. I don't

681
00:52:24.599 --> 00:52:29.079
know if they're gonna do it for
minimum the hundred million. What's it called?

682
00:52:29.119 --> 00:52:32.039
Somebody they told my what's called deserves
a honey million? Freeze? No,

683
00:52:32.119 --> 00:52:40.400
he's about seventy seventy he's about sixty
seventy one twenty No way one twenty

684
00:52:40.800 --> 00:52:46.079
one break Jordan Pool. If Jordan
Pool can pull one twenty Reese can pull

685
00:52:46.159 --> 00:52:58.599
one twenty h what do you say, hoo can up up your cousins?

686
00:52:58.599 --> 00:53:02.480
A kid? There you go.
Well, Keis he's thinking, Man,

687
00:53:02.559 --> 00:53:08.199
I'm let me just go ahead and
say this. We acknowledge Lebron as a

688
00:53:08.360 --> 00:53:15.719
right, don't hop on the boat
just saying they respected at sixty. It's

689
00:53:15.719 --> 00:53:20.559
about fifteen million a year, four
years. I mean, y'all gonna do

690
00:53:20.719 --> 00:53:23.800
him like that, that's what y'all
going to la? All right, continued

691
00:53:23.880 --> 00:53:30.280
I'm gonna say this, man,
Lebron, it's great, all time great,

692
00:53:30.400 --> 00:53:34.760
second best player in my opinion,
ever played the game. But you

693
00:53:34.920 --> 00:53:39.719
gotta move on. And the Lakers
already don't have a future because they gave

694
00:53:39.719 --> 00:53:46.119
away a lot of draft picks.
Right, that's not shocked. It's true.

695
00:53:46.840 --> 00:53:52.840
It's true you respect Lebron to come
back and play and let Lebron do

696
00:53:52.960 --> 00:53:54.559
Lebron, but you didn't. You
do need to plan for the future.

697
00:53:54.639 --> 00:53:58.280
So here's the thing. When you
don't trade Anthony Davis, So is he

698
00:53:58.840 --> 00:54:01.679
I'm going back to the question gonna
trade Anthony Day? Is he number one

699
00:54:02.360 --> 00:54:06.440
or number two? As long as
he plays the game, he's number one.

700
00:54:06.840 --> 00:54:08.079
What as long as he plays,
he's the number one option on the

701
00:54:08.119 --> 00:54:10.320
team. As long as he plays
the game, he's number one. Well,

702
00:54:10.320 --> 00:54:13.599
you see what happens when he's the
number one, and it shouldn't be.

703
00:54:13.679 --> 00:54:15.880
It should be the number one out. I do he should be a

704
00:54:16.000 --> 00:54:21.800
d um potentially Kyrie, but I'm
not fully convinced that the Lakers are going

705
00:54:21.840 --> 00:54:25.000
to invest in Kyrie. A d
is the number one option? What he's

706
00:54:25.039 --> 00:54:29.320
really the number one? He just
doesn't show up every night. You're not

707
00:54:29.320 --> 00:54:31.960
the number one option. You are. You are good one. I'm supposed

708
00:54:32.000 --> 00:54:38.840
to be rich and famous, but
I'm not. Two different things. We're

709
00:54:38.840 --> 00:54:43.280
talking about what Anthony and we're talking
about what Anthony Davis is supposed to be,

710
00:54:44.000 --> 00:54:46.679
but he's not. Because those last
two possessions of the Lakers season,

711
00:54:46.880 --> 00:54:53.159
who had the ball? Lebron exactly
because if we second though, if Lebron

712
00:54:53.440 --> 00:55:01.000
didn't have the ball, because when
Lebron is in Cleveland, he could kick

713
00:55:01.039 --> 00:55:05.559
it to kyr and Kyrie, like
watch the magic happen. You know how

714
00:55:05.639 --> 00:55:08.719
you did your boys, Steph.
So it's one of them things where to

715
00:55:08.840 --> 00:55:12.639
help Lebron won that title. It's
one of the things we're like, that's

716
00:55:12.639 --> 00:55:15.559
what I'm talking about, dude.
You say, Lebron, we love you

717
00:55:15.679 --> 00:55:17.800
here, we appreciate what you've done
to the city, but we're gonna We're

718
00:55:17.840 --> 00:55:21.320
gonna see what we can do about
as far as, like, you know,

719
00:55:21.400 --> 00:55:23.679
put some putting, you put some
officers out there. Baba's about money

720
00:55:24.280 --> 00:55:30.480
and Lebron is a walking stimulus package. You have to build around Lebron as

721
00:55:30.519 --> 00:55:34.880
long as he's on the team.
You have to. The Lakers knew that

722
00:55:35.000 --> 00:55:37.239
when they gave because you only got
one more season with Lebron and then you

723
00:55:37.280 --> 00:55:40.920
walk away? Did you walk away? So then what do you do with

724
00:55:42.000 --> 00:55:45.320
the team though, because what you're
saying is what you're saying is this,

725
00:55:45.519 --> 00:55:49.119
We're gonna put all our right eggs
in one basket and when it all goes

726
00:55:49.119 --> 00:55:51.960
to crap, we'll deal with it
later. Uh. The Lakers have been

727
00:55:52.000 --> 00:55:55.119
known for that anyway. The Lakers
have been known for that anyway. I

728
00:55:55.199 --> 00:56:00.599
mean the Los Angeles Lakers. You
let Bron have his final year, which

729
00:56:00.639 --> 00:56:06.280
will probably be his last. No, the year, I don't know,

730
00:56:06.400 --> 00:56:08.400
because he's already said that even though
it's a goal for him to play with

731
00:56:08.519 --> 00:56:12.079
his son, he doesn't know that
he has an end to play with his

732
00:56:12.199 --> 00:56:15.079
son. Well, he said that, and then after his Phillips has hurt

733
00:56:15.119 --> 00:56:17.400
for after getting after getting swept,
his Philliws has hurt. His son also

734
00:56:17.519 --> 00:56:21.199
might go to college and enjoy it. Have we ever thought about that his

735
00:56:21.280 --> 00:56:29.559
son might play two years of college? Maybe? Lakers, you you you

736
00:56:29.679 --> 00:56:32.400
give Lebron his final run to the
best of your ability, but signing a

737
00:56:32.440 --> 00:56:37.239
player like Kyrie and a d you
still build for the future. I mean

738
00:56:37.599 --> 00:56:40.840
you can do both. And like
now, now, now the NBA has

739
00:56:40.920 --> 00:56:47.079
a situation where these you know,
big payrolls make decisions. Yeah, I

740
00:56:47.159 --> 00:56:51.480
can't wait for Boston to pick between
jay Len Brown and Jason Tatan because it

741
00:56:51.480 --> 00:56:54.480
ain't gonna be both. They can't. They can't. They can't somebody.

742
00:56:55.159 --> 00:56:59.880
They can't. They can six hundred
and eighteen million dollars for both of them.

743
00:57:00.119 --> 00:57:04.199
Bro, the cap is one hundred
million, Cap is one hundred million,

744
00:57:04.360 --> 00:57:07.599
the Cat one hundred million. The
cat next year is I think to

745
00:57:07.679 --> 00:57:10.000
say it might be less than that. It might be less than that.

746
00:57:10.880 --> 00:57:14.920
They probably they could get fit both. Now the rest of the team might

747
00:57:15.000 --> 00:57:20.400
be garbage garble edge. So but
you gotta remember the Lakers right now,

748
00:57:20.599 --> 00:57:27.159
the Lakers, Lebron is on the
books for two years at least. This

749
00:57:27.360 --> 00:57:34.320
is his option year after next after
next year, because he's said to make

750
00:57:34.400 --> 00:57:37.880
forty seven this coming up year and
said to make fifty that year. Rather

751
00:57:37.960 --> 00:57:42.039
you think you're gonna opt out of
that fifty? Yeah to the son.

752
00:57:42.400 --> 00:57:45.079
No, no, he's not playing
with his son. I want cap is

753
00:57:45.119 --> 00:57:47.159
one thirty four. I'm not opted
out of my fifty. He's playing with

754
00:57:47.199 --> 00:57:51.719
his son. Just told him.
Bro Lebron is walking away from fifty million

755
00:57:51.760 --> 00:57:54.360
dollars how much money? So you
what you say? Okay, this is

756
00:57:54.360 --> 00:57:58.920
my thing. There his whole stuff. I want to play with months it

757
00:57:59.039 --> 00:58:02.159
was bsd Byes. It was his
body. Yes, when he was saying

758
00:58:02.239 --> 00:58:07.119
that his body wasn't beat up,
Lebron's body. Lebron is almost forty years

759
00:58:07.159 --> 00:58:10.760
old age, his body's probably eighty. His body is beat up. Now

760
00:58:12.079 --> 00:58:15.840
he should return. He should have
walked into five. He should have walked

761
00:58:15.840 --> 00:58:20.519
in the press conference fifty five.
Lebron is body, it's retirement age,

762
00:58:20.639 --> 00:58:22.800
whatever it is. It's retirement age, it is. And Lebron should have

763
00:58:22.880 --> 00:58:27.360
walked in that conference and said,
hey, guys, I'm calling it because

764
00:58:27.440 --> 00:58:32.239
obviously my body cannot handle it.
But you call it for fifty million dollars.

765
00:58:32.480 --> 00:58:36.320
Yeah, my body was doing it. I don't who wants to roll

766
00:58:36.360 --> 00:58:39.199
in the wheelchair fifty. I got
that money though, didn't he got too

767
00:58:39.320 --> 00:58:43.480
much money. He won't be wrong, but he don't got no injury to

768
00:58:43.519 --> 00:58:45.079
be a goal. He hasn't really
had a lot of injuries like that over

769
00:58:45.199 --> 00:58:51.519
his career. But now that he
is getting injuries, it's slowing him down.

770
00:58:51.920 --> 00:58:54.559
Yeah, most definitely, blood.
I got a good Lebron got a

771
00:58:54.599 --> 00:59:05.199
good twenty four minutes of basketball in
him a game. And if you that's

772
00:59:05.239 --> 00:59:09.159
all you should. Anthony Davis need
to step it up and command the team

773
00:59:09.280 --> 00:59:15.360
like they brought him to h to
me, I'm you all gotta play for

774
00:59:15.400 --> 00:59:21.079
the future, and we know.
But the Lakers had The Lakers had a

775
00:59:21.239 --> 00:59:27.880
very rough season. They had a
roller coaster season. But but there is

776
00:59:28.000 --> 00:59:30.159
hope at the end of the tunnel. But think of it like this.

777
00:59:30.840 --> 00:59:37.599
He put up MVP numbers in the
playoffs with a torn ligament, and think

778
00:59:37.639 --> 00:59:42.440
of that. That's forty years old. I'm gonna give you one better,

779
00:59:42.480 --> 00:59:45.559
and he played forty something minutes a
game. I'm gonna give you one better,

780
00:59:45.679 --> 00:59:52.119
Kesey. The Lakers went to the
conference finals and nobody had them getting

781
00:59:52.159 --> 00:59:54.880
out to play in They did not
they did. Nobody even expected to make

782
00:59:54.920 --> 00:59:59.639
the playoffs. The season started to
be honest, you forgot. They went

783
00:59:59.679 --> 01:00:01.800
off to an old and ten start. Yeah I remember that, but don't

784
01:00:02.159 --> 01:00:05.320
but they make it to the conference
final. I was the only gonna push

785
01:00:05.320 --> 01:00:07.440
you the button. I'll push you
there all the time. Lakers are terrible,

786
01:00:07.559 --> 01:00:10.599
horrible team. Yeah, and what
did I do pushing that button?

787
01:00:10.639 --> 01:00:15.880
Now? I was playing Memphis.
But I said it all year, though

788
01:00:15.920 --> 01:00:20.920
you said after the trade deadline,
left the record show I picked the Leakers

789
01:00:20.960 --> 01:00:23.039
to be Memphis. I started this
all yea, the only one. I

790
01:00:23.119 --> 01:00:27.079
said this all year, all year, even when they do the like things

791
01:00:27.119 --> 01:00:30.679
just gonna get better. Watch you
Russell once that guy with the hustle,

792
01:00:30.719 --> 01:00:34.239
everything was gonna And you know what, I hate that. You said it

793
01:00:34.320 --> 01:00:37.320
was gonna work with Russell. I
hate that for Russell Westbrook. I thought

794
01:00:37.360 --> 01:00:39.320
it was. But then after ten
games and I said, no, I

795
01:00:39.400 --> 01:00:43.960
hate I gotta trade him. And
I kept saying it until they finally didn't.

796
01:00:44.000 --> 01:00:46.239
Didn't. Look what happened. Well, I'm not gonna do you know,

797
01:00:46.599 --> 01:00:49.559
pull it up on you. I
don't take your word for it.

798
01:00:51.119 --> 01:00:58.480
Um moving on the dude. Look, I didn't say it. I need

799
01:00:58.519 --> 01:01:02.159
that for the Bucks now, yo
team the Milwaukee but I mean, I'm

800
01:01:02.159 --> 01:01:06.760
sorry. The Boston Celtics beat the
Miami Heat one on four, one on

801
01:01:06.880 --> 01:01:12.360
three and dramatic fashion with a buzzer
beater tipping by Derek White. The Celtics

802
01:01:12.400 --> 01:01:15.960
are on the verge of making history
by being the first team ever to come

803
01:01:15.039 --> 01:01:20.719
back down from a from being down
three nothing in an NBA playoff series.

804
01:01:21.320 --> 01:01:23.679
Who do you have? I picked
Boston last week. I told you Boston

805
01:01:23.760 --> 01:01:27.360
was gonna do this. I'm sticking
with Boston. Boston makes history. Man,

806
01:01:27.480 --> 01:01:30.559
There's no way Miami wins this game
in the Garden. In fact,

807
01:01:30.679 --> 01:01:35.280
they might get blown out. Jimmy
Jimmy Butler then woke up sleeping giants.

808
01:01:35.400 --> 01:01:40.159
Now that sleeping giant, unfortunately is
not Jason Tatum. Oh. Jaylen Brown

809
01:01:40.480 --> 01:01:45.320
is due for a big game.
Mark hold on, Marcus Smart is due

810
01:01:45.320 --> 01:01:46.639
for a big game. Because let's
think about it. That ball is some

811
01:01:46.800 --> 01:01:50.880
Mark shot. It was in and
out. It looked good. It was

812
01:01:50.960 --> 01:01:53.559
in and out, it looked barely. It was You know what I'm saying,

813
01:01:54.320 --> 01:01:58.800
I don't. I don't think Boston
just wins tomorrow. I think they

814
01:01:59.039 --> 01:02:02.360
dominate tomorrow because they're due for a
dominating game. They already had one,

815
01:02:02.360 --> 01:02:07.079
because they already got because they already
was counted out. So the pressure is

816
01:02:07.119 --> 01:02:12.119
on Miami. Pressure is on Miami. Miami has got to come out.

817
01:02:12.519 --> 01:02:15.960
Jimmy gotta come out and be uncle
Uncle Jimmy. He gotta score fifty.

818
01:02:15.039 --> 01:02:19.679
He hasn't had a fifty un Jimmy
Jordan. He hasn't had a forty point

819
01:02:19.800 --> 01:02:22.559
game against him. He had like
thirty five to put another game up like

820
01:02:22.639 --> 01:02:24.840
that. Now. Yeah, it's
like in a bubble too. It's like

821
01:02:24.960 --> 01:02:29.400
in the bubble heat huffing and puffing
in like I can't do this to myself.

822
01:02:29.480 --> 01:02:32.000
The Boston celticsh off the boat.
The Boston Celtics will be the one

823
01:02:32.119 --> 01:02:37.360
in one hundred and fifty one.
So you going Celtics. I'm going Celtics.

824
01:02:37.440 --> 01:02:39.280
You're going Celtics all day. The
heat, the heat luck has ran

825
01:02:39.480 --> 01:02:45.159
Miami. Miami beat the Bucks.
I'm definitely going Celtics too. I'm going

826
01:02:45.239 --> 01:02:49.159
Celtics too. So then let's talk
about this then, because when we get

827
01:02:49.239 --> 01:02:52.559
back next week, I know what
you're saying, what a friend say,

828
01:02:52.639 --> 01:02:57.320
don't talk about the finals one they
they played Monday, I'm sorry, on

829
01:02:57.440 --> 01:03:02.119
the first, then the game would
be either that Monday Friday. So I

830
01:03:02.159 --> 01:03:06.039
want us to do a little We'll
do a preview next week of the NBA

831
01:03:06.159 --> 01:03:10.119
Finals, even though they play Thursday. Yeah, because you can't can't preview.

832
01:03:10.199 --> 01:03:13.519
Let's just see one game. I
just wants to see one game,

833
01:03:13.920 --> 01:03:16.360
see what we'll get the vibe,
get the vibe and go from there.

834
01:03:16.719 --> 01:03:22.239
Congratulations to Joker, Captulations to the
Denver Nuggets. I will say that I

835
01:03:22.360 --> 01:03:25.400
didn't think they are going to be
a number one contender. I won't say

836
01:03:25.480 --> 01:03:29.559
years for years to come because the
West teams to get stacked, but this

837
01:03:29.719 --> 01:03:36.199
might be the year. Now,
let's get to it. The Milwaukee Bucks.

838
01:03:37.559 --> 01:03:40.079
Before you get to a game two
is actually Sunday, June four,

839
01:03:40.599 --> 01:03:44.880
So we'll have a chance to see
one game on the first. Yeah,

840
01:03:45.000 --> 01:03:47.320
and then when we're back in the
studio next Sunday, we can preview game

841
01:03:47.360 --> 01:03:53.119
too. Yeah. Okay, we'll
make some picks then. But Bucks talk.

842
01:03:54.480 --> 01:04:00.480
The Milwaukee Bucks are playing on hiring
former Toronto Raptors assistant coach Adrian Griffin

843
01:04:00.760 --> 01:04:04.440
as their next head coach. What
huddle before you down this black man?

844
01:04:05.880 --> 01:04:10.639
Oh? Should we talk about what
you said? Oh Saturday, don't you

845
01:04:10.679 --> 01:04:15.800
want to talk about you know,
whatever I say if you ever need a

846
01:04:15.880 --> 01:04:19.719
witness in court, dude, not
call this? Why not whatever I say

847
01:04:20.000 --> 01:04:23.880
whenever I say to wherever I see
in the group chat, whatever I say

848
01:04:23.920 --> 01:04:26.119
in person, I say this was
microhon, I ain't got no shame my

849
01:04:26.239 --> 01:04:30.599
game now, So before I doubt
this? But what about what you say?

850
01:04:30.960 --> 01:04:34.760
For you getting man? Let's get
ready to rumble? What what is

851
01:04:34.840 --> 01:04:44.079
this? What do you call?
What? Where's that? Let me go

852
01:04:44.280 --> 01:04:48.599
round one round? What what is
this saying about to you about the direction

853
01:04:48.679 --> 01:05:00.760
of the team rebuild? No,
either Yannis is high on him? Well,

854
01:05:00.840 --> 01:05:04.400
the Bucks just using him as a
fall guy if things don't go right

855
01:05:04.480 --> 01:05:08.159
next year. So two things I
want to say to that. Two things

856
01:05:08.199 --> 01:05:11.360
I want to say that. Two
things I want to say what Bro just

857
01:05:11.440 --> 01:05:16.440
said. Reports are saying that Jannis
was high on him, he gave the

858
01:05:16.960 --> 01:05:25.480
wink, but that report did not
come out about Adrian Griffin into what Nick

859
01:05:25.639 --> 01:05:29.079
Nurse turned his din. But the
report came out they want to have him

860
01:05:29.119 --> 01:05:33.960
first, and then the report came
Nick Nurse was the guy, and Nick

861
01:05:34.119 --> 01:05:41.519
Nurse removed himself from consideration for the
Bucks. Then they went with Adrian Griffin.

862
01:05:41.559 --> 01:05:44.760
I need to know why. I
need to know why. I don't

863
01:05:44.760 --> 01:05:46.119
think. I don't think he thought
he was getting a job in Milwaukee.

864
01:05:46.559 --> 01:05:50.639
I think he wanted a better winning
situation, Nick Nurse. I think he's

865
01:05:50.679 --> 01:05:57.440
going to think if that is it's
Kade, though, it's it's Devin Booker.

866
01:05:57.519 --> 01:06:02.079
And no, no disrespect to Yannis, Phoenix was some coaching and a

867
01:06:02.199 --> 01:06:04.719
big man away from winning. To
me, to me, this is my

868
01:06:04.880 --> 01:06:10.199
thing though, Like the only reason
Phoenix is a better situation is because Kevin

869
01:06:10.280 --> 01:06:14.639
Durant and Devin book are locked in
for a couple of years in their contracts.

870
01:06:15.039 --> 01:06:19.320
The Bucks are are starting to look
like a very expensive franchise that can't

871
01:06:19.679 --> 01:06:27.599
because of the new ABA it Abe
Souse. While you're talking, a report

872
01:06:27.679 --> 01:06:31.920
literally just came out. Nick Nurse
is deciding between the Sons and the Sixers.

873
01:06:34.840 --> 01:06:40.760
But my thing is this, My
my thing is a better looking It's

874
01:06:40.760 --> 01:06:44.719
a Phoenix is a better looking situation
on paper as far as money goes.

875
01:06:45.440 --> 01:06:51.679
So my thing is you said nothing. Nope, we are said that on

876
01:06:51.719 --> 01:06:56.280
the air. Go ahead, keep
going, your wife faults. I'm sorry,

877
01:06:58.079 --> 01:07:02.159
act like he didn't hear, but
then say that right right, See

878
01:07:02.199 --> 01:07:09.400
that's what we're talking about. Anyways. My thing is this hag. This

879
01:07:09.480 --> 01:07:14.760
guy has no coaching experience, no
coaching experience, He has no head coaching

880
01:07:14.800 --> 01:07:17.559
experience. So when you talk about
that, like this team is built to

881
01:07:17.719 --> 01:07:23.840
win right now? Who the Bucks? We have a little we have a

882
01:07:23.920 --> 01:07:27.559
few tweaks to make. No,
we have a few tweaks to make.

883
01:07:27.840 --> 01:07:30.960
Let's not forget what we I gotta
bring you back. I know what you

884
01:07:30.079 --> 01:07:33.480
said, what you said to what
we are old team. No, let's

885
01:07:33.480 --> 01:07:38.440
bring it back because now we geeked
again. Let's not get to above ourselves.

886
01:07:38.880 --> 01:07:44.719
Let's not forget this. Did Milwaukee
Bucks have to prove to us that

887
01:07:44.840 --> 01:07:47.400
they can win and be competitive?
We all said that, Let's not forget

888
01:07:47.480 --> 01:07:55.000
that. Come on, Brome said, yes, you did. I know

889
01:07:55.760 --> 01:08:00.760
when I said this is when I
said it was this. I'm not I'm

890
01:08:00.920 --> 01:08:03.800
after the season. I'm not saying
we gonna win it at all after the

891
01:08:03.880 --> 01:08:09.679
season. I'm not saying I'm not
gun hole on championship. But I also

892
01:08:09.760 --> 01:08:13.960
said this team may need to make
a small a couple a couple of tweaks

893
01:08:14.599 --> 01:08:17.239
and we can be right where we
lasted, where we were before, and

894
01:08:17.399 --> 01:08:21.239
you think about the whole Eastern Conference, James Harden Crowley gonna be I just

895
01:08:21.319 --> 01:08:25.399
think we were bad coaching away from
being where we needed to be. Okay,

896
01:08:25.520 --> 01:08:27.960
So when you say that, when
you say stuff like that, and

897
01:08:28.039 --> 01:08:30.800
then you bring in a rookie coach
because he's a rookie head coach, but

898
01:08:30.960 --> 01:08:34.920
you wouldn't say rookie because he assistant
coach does a lot of the jobs he

899
01:08:35.000 --> 01:08:38.680
was head coach. He was assistant
head coach actually, but it feels like

900
01:08:38.800 --> 01:08:41.920
I can't want to I can't get
the guy I want, So I'm gonna

901
01:08:41.960 --> 01:08:45.600
grab this guy who has some of
the same philosophy. Oh yeah, I

902
01:08:45.640 --> 01:08:49.600
don't think that's it. Well,
that's why it got had the same position.

903
01:08:49.880 --> 01:08:53.119
They took it. They were like, well, we can't we had

904
01:08:53.159 --> 01:08:56.359
to fire this guy, so let's
take the next guy behind him and see

905
01:08:56.359 --> 01:08:59.000
if we can make see what we
can do, what to do, And

906
01:08:59.039 --> 01:09:01.119
we made Bootenhole just so attractive to
people. Was because he was from that

907
01:09:01.199 --> 01:09:06.399
pop tree and because he had proven
as a head coach that he can win,

908
01:09:08.520 --> 01:09:11.680
like he had the Atlanta team that
was like if it wasn't for Lebron

909
01:09:11.840 --> 01:09:15.239
Jay, they probably would have won
a title. So like, that's what

910
01:09:15.359 --> 01:09:18.079
I'm like, That's why I'm really
curious of why they picked him. I'm

911
01:09:18.279 --> 01:09:20.840
say I'm also cured why they picked
him, as I'm curious about why Nick

912
01:09:20.920 --> 01:09:24.239
Nurse is like Noah, they say
for me, Yeah, because Nick,

913
01:09:24.319 --> 01:09:27.520
if you think the Bucks passed on
Nick Nurse, I got a blank check

914
01:09:27.600 --> 01:09:30.600
for you. Nick Nurse was the
most coach in the demand. Every team

915
01:09:30.680 --> 01:09:35.880
wanted him, including Milwa't I'm pretty
sure Yan is one of the people you

916
01:09:35.960 --> 01:09:40.760
know, you don't know that.
And then on top of that, you

917
01:09:40.880 --> 01:09:45.319
know who did so they wanted him, Uh, Jimmy Butler, Jimmy Buck,

918
01:09:45.359 --> 01:09:48.800
not Jimmy I'm sorry Drew Holiday.
Drew Holiday was like, um,

919
01:09:49.760 --> 01:09:55.800
he doesn't come off as like the
nicest person. Yeah, yeah, but

920
01:09:55.920 --> 01:09:58.279
he don't need to be. He
doesn't need to be to be a good

921
01:09:58.319 --> 01:10:01.920
coach, which is true. Congratulations
to Adrian Griffin. And all we could

922
01:10:01.920 --> 01:10:04.760
do is give him a chance.
I'm cheering for everybody black. You know

923
01:10:04.800 --> 01:10:08.520
what I'm saying. I want to
I'm glad we have more black head coaches.

924
01:10:08.760 --> 01:10:12.800
But bro, you are in a
town where they are going to let

925
01:10:12.840 --> 01:10:15.760
me choose my words. Careful.
He got to come in here and deliver

926
01:10:15.119 --> 01:10:21.119
because they're gonna be calling full his
butt quick and the Bucks better not.

927
01:10:21.319 --> 01:10:25.640
You know, the Bucks. Last
I heard, they're negotiating terms. Bucks

928
01:10:25.680 --> 01:10:28.640
don't give him more than a two
or three year deal because they gave Bud

929
01:10:29.000 --> 01:10:32.159
a five year deal. They didn't
renew him. Didn't they know? They

930
01:10:32.199 --> 01:10:35.760
gave him a three year deal.
Then they gave him a five year deal.

931
01:10:36.039 --> 01:10:40.680
So now they have to pay Bug. But one year into fourty,

932
01:10:40.720 --> 01:10:44.880
they owe him four years of money, right, you know, two years

933
01:10:45.880 --> 01:10:48.359
when don't we win the title years
ago? Okay, so he's two years

934
01:10:48.399 --> 01:10:51.920
orto a five year deal. Bucks
can't hire another coach and get rid of

935
01:10:53.000 --> 01:10:56.119
him in two years because they don't
have two coaches on the coach their path.

936
01:10:56.359 --> 01:11:00.920
So the Bucks are either making a
long term investment into this coach or

937
01:11:00.000 --> 01:11:02.199
they're saying, we're gonna give you
two years to see how it does.

938
01:11:02.239 --> 01:11:08.920
Because Yanni's contract ends win in two
years. I think it's gonna drew for

939
01:11:09.039 --> 01:11:11.640
to retire. I think it's screens
retired, man, I'm sorry, I

940
01:11:11.720 --> 01:11:15.239
think it screens rebuilt. I really
do. I hope I'm wrong, but

941
01:11:15.399 --> 01:11:17.600
I think it's screens rebuild, and
I don't know if this is the case.

942
01:11:18.119 --> 01:11:23.279
If this is, Milwaukee does not
let Yanna's walk. They'll do whatever

943
01:11:23.359 --> 01:11:26.039
he do, they do whatever you
gotta do, keep it. We can

944
01:11:26.119 --> 01:11:29.800
keep your honest and still be losing. No, could you get some players?

945
01:11:30.760 --> 01:11:33.000
Can't you? Yeah? Can't you? Yeah? Can't you? Yeah?

946
01:11:33.239 --> 01:11:38.439
Milwaukee, Milwaukee, we got players
who we need to. It's not

947
01:11:38.560 --> 01:11:40.760
like coming to la and or New
York. It's a mind. It's a

948
01:11:40.840 --> 01:11:44.079
mentality, like I'm not gonna be
in these streets. I'm not gonna get

949
01:11:44.079 --> 01:11:47.279
a lot of press, but I
might be winning, so press, You're

950
01:11:47.319 --> 01:11:51.359
just not gonna be in a press. That's what I made my press by

951
01:11:51.399 --> 01:11:58.880
like national press. Speaking uh,
speaking of I don't expect the Bucks to

952
01:11:59.039 --> 01:12:03.399
have as much pressure next year.
We didn't win. Yannis could only do

953
01:12:03.479 --> 01:12:06.720
so much. Don't get it twisted. We are, but remember last year

954
01:12:06.720 --> 01:12:10.920
we had Christmas Day games. We
lost in the first round. Bro,

955
01:12:10.960 --> 01:12:13.239
I don't think we get one.
I don't think we get one. Yea.

956
01:12:14.319 --> 01:12:15.600
I hope we do. Y'all is
still a pool. It won't be

957
01:12:15.600 --> 01:12:17.640
a home game, but probably won't
be at home. You know what I'm

958
01:12:17.640 --> 01:12:20.760
saying, It probably won't be home. Last we had MLK GAG, we

959
01:12:20.960 --> 01:12:26.520
have Valentine's Day Game, we had
a lot of major games. But I

960
01:12:26.600 --> 01:12:30.239
hope Adrian Griffin does well. He's
a brother. Congratulations, h I hope

961
01:12:30.279 --> 01:12:33.720
you're not the pawn. But um, I'll be interested to see if he's

962
01:12:33.720 --> 01:12:38.640
a pawn or not. Win it
out pass it to nis. Now here's

963
01:12:38.640 --> 01:12:41.680
the other part. Does he keep
the buck staff, does he keep being

964
01:12:41.800 --> 01:12:45.039
baker? Does he keep those coaches? Or does he hire his own team?

965
01:12:47.319 --> 01:12:50.600
Time? What? Hell? So, how y'all feeling about to hire?

966
01:12:50.680 --> 01:12:55.600
Though? Which if if you were
too rated one to ten team being

967
01:12:55.600 --> 01:12:59.760
the highest wont be the lowest.
How are you feeling too? Five four

968
01:13:00.560 --> 01:13:04.039
four? I'm just well, I'm
gonna say this. I'm glad we didn't

969
01:13:04.079 --> 01:13:08.119
get Doc Rivers, so this is
better than Doc. Why you don't like?

970
01:13:08.920 --> 01:13:11.159
What is it about Doc? You
don't like? Doctor doesn't win the

971
01:13:11.199 --> 01:13:13.800
big ones? Bro? I feel
like this year he doesn't win the big

972
01:13:14.159 --> 01:13:16.720
This year his players gave up on
them. Every year his players give up

973
01:13:16.760 --> 01:13:19.640
on them as though as that a
well, I won't say every year because

974
01:13:19.680 --> 01:13:24.560
he's also being considered for Phoenix.
I won't say his players give up on

975
01:13:24.680 --> 01:13:27.680
him every year, but I think
this year his players gave up on them.

976
01:13:28.159 --> 01:13:30.039
Um. I think that. My
thing is like, why not giving

977
01:13:30.079 --> 01:13:32.439
Mark Jackson a shot? If you're
gonna go this right, That's what I'm

978
01:13:32.479 --> 01:13:34.880
thinking. That's where I'm at with
it, Like, why not give him

979
01:13:34.880 --> 01:13:38.359
a shot? If you're gonna give
somebody a shot, why not give it

980
01:13:38.439 --> 01:13:41.960
to Mark Jackson? If the curse, why not give it to Kenny Atkinson?

981
01:13:42.760 --> 01:13:45.479
He was considered the Bucks interview like
nine coaches. They interviewed nine coaches,

982
01:13:45.640 --> 01:13:48.880
was down to three. Nick Nurse
pulled himself out. It was Kenny

983
01:13:48.880 --> 01:13:51.399
Atkinson in between him and Adrian.
I think that's why he pulled out.

984
01:13:51.439 --> 01:13:54.680
He was like, I gotta compete
with nine people. Oh way, I

985
01:13:54.680 --> 01:13:57.840
should be compete with nine people.
He sounds like that aer Gang type of

986
01:13:57.920 --> 01:14:00.159
person. You know what I mean? Well, you gotta think about it,

987
01:14:00.239 --> 01:14:03.479
man. He won to title his
first year one and you ain't done

988
01:14:03.520 --> 01:14:06.800
none since. Dude. Date the
Raptors were good every year but last season,

989
01:14:08.199 --> 01:14:12.199
Na, yeah, they were don't
cut it clearly, but bug got

990
01:14:12.439 --> 01:14:15.319
let go good. Don't get you
titles? Bug, got let go with

991
01:14:15.399 --> 01:14:18.439
the best records. You ain't you
ain't lying, Bud went one to five.

992
01:14:18.520 --> 01:14:21.920
And and my thing is just like
with let's say with with with with

993
01:14:23.119 --> 01:14:25.800
Darvin Ham, Darvin hamment like,
well, I'm not a head coach that

994
01:14:25.880 --> 01:14:30.520
ever had that position before, but
I've coached games where the coach couldn't you

995
01:14:30.600 --> 01:14:33.560
know, coach. So I've coached
some games players are familiar with me.

996
01:14:33.960 --> 01:14:39.840
And let's also be reminded, let's
be reminded, bro head coaching. Assistant

997
01:14:39.880 --> 01:14:43.840
coaching doesn't lead to greg head coaching. Look at uh, what's that boy,

998
01:14:43.960 --> 01:14:45.760
Luke Walton, that man Luke Walton. Yeah, he coached when Steve

999
01:14:45.840 --> 01:14:50.000
Kerr was out, but he coached
to Steph dre Clay during and went to

1000
01:14:50.079 --> 01:14:54.920
Sack and they sucked. It's true. And and he's back being an assistant

1001
01:14:55.000 --> 01:15:00.600
coach now LA. He was in
LA and they sucked and went to Sack

1002
01:15:00.920 --> 01:15:05.039
and they sucked. So it doesn't
always translate to head coaching. Yeah.

1003
01:15:05.560 --> 01:15:14.520
Well, um, there's been another
episode of ninety four feet podcasts Uh your
