today trop six spots and the A People or I

44
00:02:07,239 --> 00:02:10,120
guess over the weekend. They are currently number twenty two

45
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,840
in college basketball where they stand in.

46
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 3: Kenpom if you want to, if you want to align

47
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:18,159
it with the A.

48
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: People, you got the human subjective eye test that puts

49
00:02:22,039 --> 00:02:22,960
him at number twenty two.

50
00:02:23,439 --> 00:02:27,199
Speaker 3: Ken Pom also has BYU.

51
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: At number twenty two in their efficiency metric seventeen and

52
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,599
six overall, still knocking on the door, still in the

53
00:02:34,719 --> 00:02:37,639
top twenty five. Let's get at evalleys get a grade

54
00:02:37,719 --> 00:02:39,800
on the season thus far. Let's welome to Jonathan Tabernai

55
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:40,560
four three JT.

56
00:02:40,719 --> 00:02:43,039
Speaker 3: Former BA. You great to talk to some Cougar basketball JT.

57
00:02:43,159 --> 00:02:43,840
How you living? Brother?

58
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 4: Is it football season yet?

59
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,919
Speaker 1: It hurts man when you're on a four game losing streak, right,

60
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,120
but give us some hope. Why should Cougar Nation have

61
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,080
hope in this Boa basketball team that they can get

62
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,319
it right because.

63
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:02,719
Speaker 4: It's atmost football season. Man. Well, look listen, I will

64
00:03:02,759 --> 00:03:08,080
say this right. You look at the losses that they've had, Right,

65
00:03:08,759 --> 00:03:13,280
you look at the loss to number three Yukon, and

66
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:21,080
you look to the loss against number one Arizona, and

67
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,879
all of those those two losses could have been winning.

68
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,759
And then you look at you look at the loss

69
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,120
of Texas Tech, and you look at the loss to

70
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:41,120
Oklahoma State, and then you look at the loss to Houston.

71
00:03:41,879 --> 00:03:46,400
Those weren't closed losses, and so it just it just

72
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:52,080
feels like this team hasn't had its marquee win against

73
00:03:52,479 --> 00:03:54,840
the top teams in the country when they had the

74
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,159
chance to do it. I mean, there's a big difference

75
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,719
then if we're looking at the BYU team five and

76
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,000
five in conference and maybe we're looking at them at

77
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,319
seven and three, maybe we were looking at them right

78
00:04:08,439 --> 00:04:10,960
at eight and two. But the truth of the matter

79
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:16,120
is this team right now, they're tired. They are exhausted.

80
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:21,879
You know, Kevin Young is saying the right things, but

81
00:04:22,319 --> 00:04:24,519
I dare to say that on the back, you know,

82
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:29,680
behind closed doors, the team is tired. Richie's tired, Rob

83
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:36,160
Right is tired, AJ is tired, and the just supporting

84
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:40,600
cast is just not there. Kevin was so blunt about

85
00:04:41,319 --> 00:04:44,240
the big missing layups, and I mean, you know, three

86
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:48,000
four ten for the field and you know, just an

87
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,000
abysmal free throw percentage that you know the last game,

88
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,279
and so and again, I am going to be overly

89
00:04:54,399 --> 00:04:58,800
critical of the things that I was a very I

90
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,680
was very good at. So instance, with three point shooting,

91
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:07,680
it isn't acceptable that Mahailo Boskovic and Alec State Coastitch

92
00:05:07,759 --> 00:05:11,079
and Tyler Morass are all getting the nil that they're

93
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:15,519
getting and they you know, barely shooting thirty percent from

94
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:19,079
the three point line. What are we doing here? Right?

95
00:05:19,399 --> 00:05:22,600
And so it's it's difficult for me to see that

96
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,639
and to break down on defense you know, by even

97
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:30,920
by Kernard Davis. It's it's a lot of it. It's

98
00:05:30,959 --> 00:05:34,600
a head scratcher, right. Perception is reality. Like I know,

99
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,800
I'm going along Ben, you know, one of the things

100
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,759
I'm going to say is perception is reality. I mean,

101
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:45,160
you know, uh Ron, mister Weaver, you're not old bed breakfast,

102
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,279
lunch and dinner. Because we were talking a big game

103
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:54,720
before the season, hey at Ruby River and we're going

104
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,000
to drive down the canyon and go to r River

105
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:02,720
together pudding too and you all. But but like you know,

106
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:07,439
like my thing is perception is reality, and the perception

107
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,639
is that this BYU team was going to go to

108
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,639
the Final four, and right now, we would all be

109
00:06:13,759 --> 00:06:16,319
surprised if they ended up being a five or six

110
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:20,879
or a seven seed. And they have a gauntlet of

111
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,639
a schedule left. They have eight games left, three or

112
00:06:24,759 --> 00:06:28,079
damn are against top fifteen teams in the country. And

113
00:06:28,959 --> 00:06:31,959
you know, it's just one of those things that you're like,

114
00:06:32,639 --> 00:06:36,000
my gosh, like, you know, it may be a while

115
00:06:36,079 --> 00:06:38,800
before they get another win because Baylor is better than

116
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:42,680
Oklahoma State and it's at Baylor, and so you know,

117
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,240
it's it's an interesting time to be a BYU fan

118
00:06:46,399 --> 00:06:50,199
right now. And I will say this, right it's an

119
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,319
interesting time to be a BYU fan. Fans can have

120
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,639
all the right in the world to be bothered, to

121
00:06:55,759 --> 00:06:58,120
be annoyed. A lot of in I own money, a

122
00:06:58,199 --> 00:07:00,560
lot of investment has been on the team, the roster,

123
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,839
and on the staff. With all that being With all

124
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:07,240
of that being said, I can guarantee you been the

125
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,199
players in the staff feel it, feel it way more

126
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:11,040
than the fans do.

127
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's uh, there's there's some pressure like we haven't

128
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:19,120
seen in the last year and a half two years,

129
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,279
right we've I don't know if we've ever seen Ky

130
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,399
really get after this team in front of the media

131
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,920
like an accountability approach, and we saw him get a

132
00:07:28,959 --> 00:07:33,240
little bit salty with his bigs and even calling out

133
00:07:33,279 --> 00:07:36,160
AJ to take care of his body in the post game,

134
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,360
saying that he thought that AJ would look like he

135
00:07:39,439 --> 00:07:41,560
was going to pass out and and that's why he

136
00:07:41,639 --> 00:07:44,360
ended up seblling them out and that he's gonna have to,

137
00:07:44,839 --> 00:07:46,560
you know, have a little call to.

138
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:48,439
Speaker 3: Action with a J. I thought it was interesting. That's

139
00:07:48,439 --> 00:07:50,040
the first time I want to say that.

140
00:07:50,519 --> 00:07:55,319
Speaker 1: That Ky has really called out his team and uh,

141
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,360
he's realizing there's probably a big sense of urgency right now.

142
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 4: And I think it's interesting that that he has said

143
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,519
the things that he said. I never seen him Dad,

144
00:08:07,199 --> 00:08:10,439
Like he truly looks pissed, Like you know, and Ben,

145
00:08:10,519 --> 00:08:12,720
you're talking to someone and you're like, oh, geez, I

146
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,160
caught him in a bad moment and they may not

147
00:08:15,279 --> 00:08:18,240
tell you and go, I'm pissed right now, But like

148
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,839
he looks like this the interviews that he has done

149
00:08:22,319 --> 00:08:25,000
at the Coaches Show and then with Spencer Linton after

150
00:08:25,079 --> 00:08:29,000
the game, he is bothered and at least that's what

151
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,639
you expect from, you know, the number one rated coach

152
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,720
outside of the NBA, Right, And I think that's that's

153
00:08:34,759 --> 00:08:39,639
a great place to be, you know. But and again

154
00:08:39,799 --> 00:08:41,840
I don't want to give excuses to the scene because

155
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,480
next man up. But you know, gosh, you know, not

156
00:08:45,759 --> 00:08:51,279
having Dawson and not having Nate and not having Brodie,

157
00:08:51,759 --> 00:08:54,679
it is hurting this team. And I think, honestly, Blaine,

158
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,840
I think there's just guys are tired, and you know,

159
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,320
they need some whole you know. Kevin Young said something

160
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,200
that I like. He said, you know, we're pushing through

161
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:07,320
the rock. We're almost there. They just got to push through.

162
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,279
Speaker 1: Jonathan Tavinar are talking to BYU Basketball here on your

163
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,080
Utah ESPN radio network.

164
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 3: You mentioned a few.

165
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:19,519
Speaker 1: Guys, right, It's like you mentioned Tyler Bras, Alexikostik, Mihailo Boskovic.

166
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,440
All three of these guys were brought in to hit

167
00:09:24,519 --> 00:09:26,840
a standing three point shout of bucks other things.

168
00:09:26,919 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 3: But like, right, it wasn't like one.

169
00:09:28,399 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 1: Of the main reasons why all three of these guys

170
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,639
got brought in was to hit a standing three.

171
00:09:35,279 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 4: Oh. And I completely agree with you. They were brought

172
00:09:39,159 --> 00:09:41,159
in to do that. They were brought in to get

173
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,080
it done. They're not doing it. And I honestly think

174
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,519
that they are just the word I'm looking for, not concerned,

175
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:52,759
not cautious. They are hesitant about doing it. And I

176
00:09:52,799 --> 00:09:55,600
don't know for the life of me why people used

177
00:09:55,639 --> 00:09:57,600
to tell me to stop shooting. I would still shoot

178
00:09:57,639 --> 00:10:01,080
somewhere where if these guys are were begging them to

179
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,759
shoot and they still won't shoot. And so like, I

180
00:10:04,879 --> 00:10:08,480
don't understand, I really don't understand that is hurting y

181
00:10:08,639 --> 00:10:13,080
U right defensively is hurting BUYU. They're more They're scoring

182
00:10:13,159 --> 00:10:15,720
more than enough points to win games. You just got

183
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:17,320
to figure out a way to get stops.

184
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,279
Speaker 3: Who are you most disappointed in right now? JT.

185
00:10:24,279 --> 00:10:26,519
Speaker 4: I'm not trying to be bad. I'm not trying to

186
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:26,879
be bad.

187
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 3: You don't have to answer that.

188
00:10:31,879 --> 00:10:35,039
Speaker 4: I started laughing as soon as I ron.

189
00:10:40,279 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 3: Answer that. Don't answer that. No, I don't want I want.

190
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,039
Speaker 4: No. But hey, who looks of you?

191
00:10:49,399 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 3: Who who do you expect? Who do you expect to

192
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:54,759
step up next game?

193
00:10:54,879 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 4: Right?

194
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,759
Speaker 1: Because we're looking for supporting casts, supporting role who do

195
00:10:58,799 --> 00:11:00,759
you who do you think is gonna step pup next game?

196
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:03,919
Speaker 4: This is I mean I'm disappointed who done the most

197
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,240
by the way, So I would say I expect the

198
00:11:07,279 --> 00:11:11,000
more out of Keba and more out of of Abdullah.

199
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:14,440
And so I think Beato and Keba are the ones

200
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,039
that are a little bit because you look at the game, right,

201
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:21,159
I mean you you know, three four ten bunnies, right,

202
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,279
and so I think between your two bigs, you should

203
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,720
be able to score. You know, expect at least fifty percent,

204
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,919
you know, from from the field goal range. And then

205
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,519
free throw has also been abysmo. That's why I think

206
00:11:33,639 --> 00:11:37,360
Ben now it's more of a mental thing than anything else.

207
00:11:38,519 --> 00:11:41,320
And uh, you know, but it's a battle man to

208
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:46,120
more in Waco. They are you know. And I will

209
00:11:46,159 --> 00:11:51,399
say this, I don't know this because yeah, I'm tools

210
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,279
to the program. I know a lot of what's going

211
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:57,320
on inside there. Nobody's ever told me this. This is

212
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:02,240
my personal opinion. I think at the end of the season,

213
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,600
we are going to look back and we're gonna look

214
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:09,080
at the Kansas game and the fact that Darren Peterson

215
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,879
outplayed AJ and I think we're gonna look at and

216
00:12:13,039 --> 00:12:16,679
go that was the turning point of the season. Now

217
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,039
I'm gonna ask you both, don't make a big deal

218
00:12:19,039 --> 00:12:22,159
about this quote. Don't blow it up. I don't need

219
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:26,639
my Twitter blowing up on this. But let's remember this moment.

220
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:29,799
I think that that's going to be a turnaround. And

221
00:12:29,879 --> 00:12:34,360
again I'm telling that from a personal feeling, because Jay's

222
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,559
an amazing player. What he's done is absolutely Darren Peterson

223
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:44,320
looked like a freaking superhero. And Kansas actually looks like

224
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,440
the cancers of old Cancers. Didn't look like you know,

225
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,440
you know, the Kansas that lost the BYU are the

226
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,080
cancers of last year. It looked like the old Cansas,

227
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:57,879
if you know what I'm saying. And so I think

228
00:12:57,919 --> 00:13:00,879
that we look back and go, gosh, dang, guys, that

229
00:13:01,159 --> 00:13:05,039
was the game that that that the season felt like

230
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,840
it went on the flip because you lost to Kansas

231
00:13:08,399 --> 00:13:10,960
and then you went and lost to Arizona at home

232
00:13:11,039 --> 00:13:13,879
on a quick turnaround, had a chance to win, but

233
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,960
you didn't. And uh, you know, I don't even think

234
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:18,960
the Oklahoma State game is the one that we're gonna

235
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,360
look back to me. That was a very specific turnaround

236
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:26,240
where Aj was looking like Teflon, he was looking like

237
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:31,039
a superhero. He was looking invincible, and you know, and

238
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,480
that's our guy, and Darren Peterson is the you know,

239
00:13:35,519 --> 00:13:37,919
you know, the not so good guy, and you know,

240
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,200
not the number one pick our guy is and Darren

241
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,559
Peterson out played AJ and Kansas won and Darren Peters

242
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:46,799
didn't even play a lot of the second half. And

243
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:50,759
so it's I I hope I'm wrong. I know I'm not.

244
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,279
Speaker 1: Jonathan tapinaw, are you talking some cougar hoops here on

245
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:59,440
your Utah ESPN radio network. It's h it's been an

246
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:03,480
interesting scene. He'sy no doubt, and what type of seed?

247
00:14:03,519 --> 00:14:05,240
And let's say they end up five hundred in the

248
00:14:05,279 --> 00:14:08,080
Big twelve. Let's say worst case scenario is BYU is

249
00:14:08,519 --> 00:14:12,639
five hundred in Big twelve play, what type of seeding

250
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,080
do you think they get? I was talking to Ken

251
00:14:15,159 --> 00:14:18,679
Palm yester Or last week and he said, you know,

252
00:14:18,759 --> 00:14:22,080
if b Yu go six and four in the remaining

253
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,679
ten games, that they're probably at worst. I think he

254
00:14:24,759 --> 00:14:28,399
said a four seed. Do you think they you know

255
00:14:28,399 --> 00:14:32,639
what I mean, that's what he said, going off absolutely.

256
00:14:33,799 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 4: That is that's absolutely cool. COO. I think that on

257
00:14:37,759 --> 00:14:41,320
the last six games, the Baylor game is tough. I

258
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:45,320
think they beat Colorado, so that's maybe you know, I

259
00:14:45,879 --> 00:14:48,679
don't know. If they beat I will stayed at home

260
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:53,440
at this point. I you know, so I would say one,

261
00:14:53,799 --> 00:14:56,720
I would say, you know, they between you know, at

262
00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:00,399
West Virginia and at Baylor, they'll win one. So they'll

263
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,559
go one in one, two and one, two and two,

264
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:14,960
two and three, three and three as Cincinnati, Man, that's tough.

265
00:15:15,679 --> 00:15:18,200
And then I think in the last four games, I

266
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:23,039
think if BYU manages to go six and two, I

267
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,440
think that they have a chance to be a five

268
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:29,879
seed at best. I think if BYU goes four and

269
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,000
four or three or three and five, by will be

270
00:15:33,039 --> 00:15:33,679
a seven seed.

271
00:15:35,759 --> 00:15:37,159
Speaker 3: Well there's no way.

272
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,039
Speaker 1: Look, I had people reaching out to me and saying ye,

273
00:15:40,159 --> 00:15:41,879
asking me question, is this is this team going to

274
00:15:41,919 --> 00:15:42,919
the nc double Tournament.

275
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 3: I'm like, yes, Like, what are you talking about? They're

276
00:15:45,759 --> 00:15:47,159
going to the n c Double A Tournament?

277
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,679
Speaker 1: They will they shall uhh When you get that question,

278
00:15:50,799 --> 00:15:51,559
what's your reaction?

279
00:15:52,799 --> 00:15:55,039
Speaker 4: Oh, I know, for effect, they'll go to the NCAA Tournament.

280
00:15:56,159 --> 00:15:59,360
But again, right we are and I'm gonna say wasting,

281
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:03,480
and because I know nobody is wasting, but imagine one

282
00:16:03,919 --> 00:16:09,440
season of AJD BONSA and where you have the number

283
00:16:09,559 --> 00:16:13,480
one recruit in the country and you don't go past

284
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:19,399
the sweet sixteen, that's tough, man. You know. I think

285
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,840
the expectation, and you and I talked about this, then

286
00:16:21,879 --> 00:16:24,240
I think that if they don't go past the sweet sixteen,

287
00:16:25,519 --> 00:16:28,679
I think that it wasn't a great season. Now, you

288
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,279
can definitely paint a picture of how great of a

289
00:16:31,399 --> 00:16:34,639
season it is. But I mean, dude, do you I mean,

290
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,320
you could go to the beginning of the seed of

291
00:16:38,399 --> 00:16:41,360
the season before the season even started, and the three

292
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,480
of us going at it lies going even more at

293
00:16:44,559 --> 00:16:48,960
it on our text thread. I mean, and I you know,

294
00:16:49,639 --> 00:16:52,200
perception is reality in reality. Right now, with uy, you

295
00:16:52,279 --> 00:16:54,759
needs to win a lot of games. I don't think that.

296
00:16:55,279 --> 00:16:58,320
I say that unless they go six and two, they're

297
00:16:58,399 --> 00:17:01,519
not six and two. And yeah, people are gonna call

298
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:05,799
me crazy, but that's okay. Unless BYU goes six and

299
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:11,359
two and BYU gets to the championship game of the

300
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,160
Big twelve Tournament, they're not going to be a four seed.

301
00:17:14,599 --> 00:17:17,400
They're gonna be a five or a six seed. The best.

302
00:17:19,519 --> 00:17:24,920
Speaker 1: JT for three, Jonathan Tabinari, could you hit a standing

303
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,039
three right now? Thirty five percent of the time with

304
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,039
some of the looks that in the could you pick

305
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,880
and pop? Like Canard got like seven attempts. I think

306
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:35,480
in pick and pop situations, could you hit that.

307
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 4: I couldn't pick and pop right now. Unfortunately I'm too overweight.

308
00:17:41,039 --> 00:17:44,440
But I will say, da is my man for the

309
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:46,799
ni O money that they're getting right now, I would

310
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:51,279
get myself in shape, yes, and standing three, I could

311
00:17:51,319 --> 00:17:55,279
easily be a good forty to fifty, especially because now

312
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,920
I'm more experienced now. I mean I usually mess around

313
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,599
and I catch and shoot, and after I worm up

314
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:03,160
for a couple of minutes and I just see the

315
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,400
ball go through, I usually go eight for ten, nine

316
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:09,079
out of ten. You know, last time I showered my boy,

317
00:18:09,279 --> 00:18:12,200
I think I was like forty seven for fifty. Uh.

318
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,559
We were having a competition because he was asking for

319
00:18:15,039 --> 00:18:18,640
you know, for for a new phone and that that

320
00:18:19,079 --> 00:18:21,319
that that did not go well for him, by the way,

321
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,759
and and so yeah, standing up, I would be a

322
00:18:24,839 --> 00:18:27,759
good sixty percent right now in a live game, easily

323
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,960
easily with the shape that I am right now. So

324
00:18:31,599 --> 00:18:32,039
I love it.

325
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, jt oh shout out to xanders Will getting too patriarchical.

326
00:18:35,519 --> 00:18:39,200
Speaker 3: Blessing. Big news for the Tabinari family.

327
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 4: Hey, that was special, then, I you know, that was special.

328
00:18:44,079 --> 00:18:46,519
You know, there's been a few special moments in my life,

329
00:18:46,599 --> 00:18:49,559
and I gotta tell you, man, that was that was

330
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:53,839
up there, that was special, that was beautiful. You know,

331
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,039
