Speaker 3: There, I go, all right, hell yeah, it's.
Speaker 2: A little wrong. Let's go. I like, are you offended?
Speaker 3: That is the question that we ask in the first
Speaker 3: edition of alre you offended? Inside the NBA Again, I
Speaker 3: told you criterion episode for them last night, but we
Speaker 3: have to go back to two nights ago because they're
Speaker 3: the grind where they work every night for about a
Speaker 3: month and a half.
Speaker 2: It's a great time to start the olive oil thing.
Speaker 3: It's started to drinking some olive oil. If you missed that,
Speaker 3: you can podcast have the show every segment.
Speaker 2: Can find it. iHeartRadio app. It's free. Serious situations. They're
Speaker 2: putting up a graphic and.
Speaker 3: Atlanta Hawk stuff and on this graphic is Billy ray Bates.
Speaker 2: Now Billy ray Bates, former Cowboy.
Speaker 3: Uh, that's a Bill Bates, the special teamer Billy ray Bates.
Speaker 3: I don't know much about him, to be honest, but
Speaker 3: he's sixty eight years old apparently doing fine. This is
Speaker 3: what happens when they're discussing Billy ray Bates, the former
Speaker 3: nineteen eighties Atlanta Hawk DeAndre Hunter.
Speaker 4: Like I did not score off the Cleveland bench.
Speaker 2: One really would like a truck?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I wanted.
Speaker 4: He's still alive.
Speaker 2: This is a fair question.
Speaker 4: Yeah, not less, not unless you know the answer. You
Speaker 4: do not ask a question.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry.
Speaker 4: He passed away. Thank you, Shack.
Speaker 2: I just asked a question.
Speaker 4: I wasn't trying to be whatever. You ever heard of
Speaker 4: asking a question in a commercial break? Possibly we had
Speaker 4: his name on Now you ever had a coup the word?
Speaker 1: You don't have.
Speaker 4: Any I can't even ask questions? No, you can't.
Speaker 2: Okay, right, social skill?
Speaker 4: Oh forgive me, forgive me? One one hundred is your
Speaker 4: final score. The Cavaliers take Game one over the Miami Heat.
Speaker 4: Game two will be Wednesday.
Speaker 2: On NBA TV.
Speaker 3: Okay, so amazing, something I would say we've done before.
Speaker 3: This is the big parton question, just asking you know
Speaker 3: he's still alive. Then they laugh while they're kind of scolding,
Speaker 3: Charles Shack says that he's not.
Speaker 2: Oh, and he is. Billary Bates is crushing it. He's
Speaker 2: sixty eight and he's doing fine. I honestly do not
Speaker 2: remember that player. I don't. I don't either. I'm gonna
Speaker 2: have to look it up now.
Speaker 3: But here's what you need to know. He is still
Speaker 3: walking among us.
Speaker 1: Sixty eight is not that old for a guy to go.
Speaker 1: I wonder if he's alive. Dude, is so crazy? Did
Speaker 1: he have health issues or something? Yeah, that's that's that's
Speaker 1: not old though. I mean the president is traditionally of late,
Speaker 1: has been somewhere around seventy eight or eighty right running
Speaker 1: the free world.
Speaker 3: Now, what I can tell you about Billy Ray Bates
Speaker 3: is in nineteen ninety eight he did rob a New
Speaker 3: Jersey Texaco station at knife Point.
Speaker 1: Oh no, dude, I just I pulled up an incredible
Speaker 1: picture of him. I'm kind of sending to you guys.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. This is here's the headline too, Billy
Speaker 1: Ray Bates ongoing struggle to sort out life after basketball.
Speaker 1: Oh well, you know, if you rob somewhere a knife point,
Speaker 1: was that your strategy or did you just decide to
Speaker 1: rob it and that's all you had. I think it's
Speaker 1: an impromptu robbery because you have to really think that
Speaker 1: someone's a good knifeman for that, for that to really
Speaker 1: for you to be like, all right, yeah, you can
Speaker 1: have everything.
Speaker 3: It is wild, though, and he slashed the ear of
Speaker 3: the gas station attempt. He just got the ear. But
Speaker 3: it is wild that discussion. I guess my question is
Speaker 3: not so much are you offended, but is what Chuck
Speaker 3: did worse than what Shaq did? When Shack openly goes,
Speaker 3: yeah he passed away, he did not pass away, No,
Speaker 3: he didn't. So we turned the page to the next night.
Speaker 3: Keep in mind Ernie is kind of the guy who
Speaker 3: holds all this together. Yep, but I don't like that
Speaker 3: Ernie is the one who had to do this.
Speaker 4: Ben. We welcome you back. We would like to issue
Speaker 4: a correction and an apology for something that happened last
Speaker 4: night on Inside the NBA. We were talking about Billy
Speaker 4: Ray Bates, who back in nineteen eighty had one of
Speaker 4: the NBA's best playoff debuts coming off the bench with
Speaker 4: twenty nine points. In the course of our discussion, we
Speaker 4: passed on some bad information that Billy ray Bates had
Speaker 4: passed away.
Speaker 2: God.
Speaker 4: While it was inadvertent, it was also inaccurate and insensitive, inexcusable.
Speaker 4: In short, we screwed up, and we apologized to Billy
Speaker 4: ray Bates and his.
Speaker 3: Family three seconds, you know, like they do when someone dies.
Speaker 3: Three seconds and then the commercial breakings. So hit was
Speaker 3: thirty seconds long.
Speaker 2: Here's what I bet happened. I bet that Shaq.
Speaker 1: And Charles couldn't get through an apology without laughing. And
Speaker 1: that's why I know, dude, I'm looking up Billy ray
Speaker 1: Bates' numbers. So Billy ray Bates was pretty much his
Speaker 1: rookie year was seventy nine, and then he pretty much
Speaker 1: was out of the league by eighty three. God, he
Speaker 1: had two basically, get so they're talking about his rookie debut.
Speaker 1: He only played sixteen games his rookie year. Then he
Speaker 1: had two seventy game seasons with Portland and then never
Speaker 1: played more than nineteen games again and just washed out.
Speaker 1: And also, let me just say that era of the NBA,
Speaker 1: there was a lot of dudes that had wild lives
Speaker 1: like cocaine was rampant in the league. It was just
Speaker 1: a different era. Wild stuff was happening, so you had
Speaker 1: a lot of dudes that weren't dedicated to the craft.
Speaker 2: And again, I don't.
Speaker 1: Know Billy ray Bates, but I know the era and
Speaker 1: the fact that they were cracking each other up over
Speaker 1: it sounds like he was a wild character.
Speaker 3: Well, the gas station story is definitely wild. But listen
Speaker 3: to Shack though, like they're all laughings. It's hard to
Speaker 3: you kind of miss it, but like they're really just
Speaker 3: kind of killing Chuck for just asking if you start.
Speaker 1: And I want to hear this again because when I
Speaker 1: was listening to the first time, I was like, I
Speaker 1: don't remember an Atlanta Hawk named Billy ray Bates.
Speaker 2: He never played for the Hawk, so I think they
Speaker 2: might have been Portland Trailblazers. I'm sorry. Oh okay, it
Speaker 2: is Portland. I'm sorry, I got you. Okay.
Speaker 4: DeAndre Hunter, I did not score off the Cleveland bench.
Speaker 2: Really would roll like a truck still alive. Wait, why
Speaker 2: did he come up?
Speaker 3: He was just on a graphic because they were looking
Speaker 3: at DeAndre Hunter's numbers.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, this makes a hell of a lot more
Speaker 1: sense to me because I was leading going. None of
Speaker 1: the these guys were in the league when Billy ray
Speaker 1: Bates played, so.
Speaker 2: How yeah he was on some of the stat graphic. Okay, okay,
Speaker 2: this was a fair question.
Speaker 4: Yeah, not unless you know the answer.
Speaker 2: I don't know why.
Speaker 4: You do not here to ask a question. He passed away?
Speaker 2: Thank you, Shack? Are you and how did he how
Speaker 2: did he land on that? Like shut strike one? But
Speaker 2: shack strike two and three did come in back?
Speaker 3: But will he passed away like dude, check was not
Speaker 3: Wikipedia and real quick to find out there someone in
Speaker 3: his ear.
Speaker 4: He passed away, Thank you, Shack.
Speaker 2: I just asked a question.
Speaker 4: I wasn't trying to be.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Shack.
Speaker 3: I'm telling you the good night last night, and we'll
Speaker 3: get into more of what happened last night when they
Speaker 3: discussed knowing Nico Harrison, and then Charles Barkley takes forty
Speaker 3: seconds to look at the camera and address Nico person dear.
Speaker 2: Ah, that's so good, so good.
Speaker 1: The today game is next though, don't miss that that's
Speaker 1: coming up in less than four minutes.
Speaker 2: Don't go anywhere
