Speaker 1: Welcome back to Eve Sports Radio. It is May the nineteenth,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. It is Monday. It's a beautiful inside,
Speaker 1: being honest with you, but it doesn't feel like it
Speaker 1: should with it being the middle of May, soon to
Speaker 1: be June. Still a little chilly outside being honest with you,
Speaker 1: you have to put a sweater on at the beginning
Speaker 1: of the day. But it's going to be a fantastic day.
Speaker 1: And welcome back to the show. We've got tons of sports.
Speaker 2: I mean, we're to talk about, as you are well known, but.
Speaker 1: There are some issues going on again. We had a
Speaker 1: awful tornado tear through eastern Kentucky.
Speaker 2: Guys. It seems like we're.
Speaker 1: Talking about this all the time now when you're talking
Speaker 1: about nineteen confirmed deaths.
Speaker 2: Guys, again, let's just make sure we keep them in
Speaker 2: our prayers.
Speaker 1: If you have any extra money that you have, make
Speaker 1: sure Red Cross is a great place to go, a
Speaker 1: safe place to go where you can believe that the
Speaker 1: money is going to go to help the people that
Speaker 1: you wanted to help. But all I can say is, toy,
Speaker 1: this is starting to get frightening. We know what the
Speaker 1: kind of storms that have been pushing through the Louisville area.
Speaker 1: I mean, and we thought they were going to be
Speaker 1: very severe, and we were very lucky. Last year about
Speaker 1: this time, I was speaking to you all about the
Speaker 1: trees being I had forty foot pines in the back
Speaker 1: of my home and they were snapped like toothpicks. And
Speaker 1: it's just amazing what the weather has been like this
Speaker 1: last year. Excuse me, two years ago. So we just
Speaker 1: want to make sure that everybody understands that we're with
Speaker 1: them the best of our ability for the loved ones
Speaker 1: that have been lost. All we can do is pray
Speaker 1: for the families, and let's just make sure that we're
Speaker 1: uplifting and do what we can do. But I just
Speaker 1: wanted to make sure we spoke about that. Now, got
Speaker 1: my younger son, Anthony is on another line, and.
Speaker 2: How are you now.
Speaker 3: I'm doing fantastic the morning. How are you great?
Speaker 2: Good?
Speaker 1: Great, It's excellent, Anthony. We've got we got to bring
Speaker 1: on that other guy, but I want to bring him
Speaker 1: on too. We've got yourself, had a great long weekend,
Speaker 1: and we've got the one and only.
Speaker 2: His name is George Williams. Don't believe anything else.
Speaker 1: He comes up with a lot of names for himself,
Speaker 1: but he is George Williams, photographer and one of the
Speaker 1: better friends of Esports Radio, but he won't tell you
Speaker 1: that he likes to.
Speaker 2: Keep his mailbox up. George.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the showing checking In, George Williams, What
Speaker 1: did you just say?
Speaker 4: I said, checking in seven o seven.
Speaker 2: Rock and roll Read rock and Roll?
Speaker 1: George, Is there anything that one of you all want
Speaker 1: to add about tornadoes that have ripped the ruis from Kentucky.
Speaker 2: Guys godly last night? Why it was just crazy? It's
Speaker 2: crazy that. I mean, the pictures are just devastating.
Speaker 4: You know, the only thing I can end Jerry. It's
Speaker 4: just amazing to me how those tornadoes move and how
Speaker 4: they affect different communities, and how they come up and
Speaker 4: go down and drop in and drop out. And you
Speaker 4: just don't know. I mean, there's no safe hold. I mean,
Speaker 4: you know you don't know what it's at. No, I
Speaker 4: mean I didn't. I didn't realize. I mean, you know,
Speaker 4: you can talk about it, and I know it's still
Speaker 4: not as devastating, but I had no clue how bad
Speaker 4: I was looking to the SEP track and feel Jerry, Oh,
Speaker 4: I don't know what's going on, I don't know what's
Speaker 4: going on. You got me back. I'm totally gone. Oh okay,
Speaker 4: I just said that.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 4: You know, it just devastating when you watch it and
Speaker 4: how bad it looks, and then when you see it
Speaker 4: again it's you know, because I into it at the
Speaker 4: SEC track and field Saday and you know, you talk
Speaker 4: about nineteen people jed, but I had no idea how
Speaker 4: bad it really was up there.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but I would save even I saw I saw
Speaker 5: a new chart that's showing it's prettymuch showing like almost
Speaker 5: like the new tornado Alley.
Speaker 3: It used to be more a little bit farther.
Speaker 5: West going towards in Oklahoma, but it's it slid right
Speaker 5: over the last couple of years.
Speaker 3: So it was a chart that showed.
Speaker 5: Kind of like a red yellow and kind of an
Speaker 5: orange and gray area where it kind of rangers have
Speaker 5: results were in Texas and Oklahoma kind of in the
Speaker 5: yellow to orange mark now, but Kentucky, Tennessee, Indiana, Ohio
Speaker 5: areas all in the red now. So we get the
Speaker 5: worst tornadoes at anyone in the country now, worse than
Speaker 5: Oklahoma and Texas.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 4: Wow, I mean, did they give you a reason why
Speaker 4: it has made the change.
Speaker 3: I mean, but it's pushed.
Speaker 5: It's pushed more east.
Speaker 3: It's still in the Midwest, but.
Speaker 5: Right it's got a little bit more areas, Like we're
Speaker 5: in there a lot worse now in antenn Ce, Ohio, Michigan, Illinois,
Speaker 5: get to it. So we've moved into that more high
Speaker 5: severe damage to tornadoes than anywhere else in the country.
Speaker 4: Now, wow, that's something you don't want to hear well.
Speaker 4: Like I say, we just want to wish them the
Speaker 4: best and hope, you know, the best that can come
Speaker 4: out of because we know it's devastating, and you know,
Speaker 4: let's just get behind him, like Jess said, if we can,
Speaker 4: let's do what we can. Let's get what we can
Speaker 4: and play for the families.
Speaker 2: That's all we can do. Georgia and a great job.
Speaker 1: I don't things happen in live radio, especially when you're
Speaker 1: in your basement. I'm in my basement, so I appreciate
Speaker 1: you all carrying that. I was able to hear you all.
Speaker 1: Y'all could not hear me, but I love your dialogue
Speaker 1: Anthony and George and what you all said.
Speaker 4: And Jerry, I want to say this, it was good
Speaker 4: and not being able to hear you. You know what, George,
Speaker 4: I'm just I'm just saying that if it just something
Speaker 4: that made the show a little better.
Speaker 1: J I'm okay, I'm gonna be the better man. Everyone
Speaker 1: says turn.
Speaker 4: And you don't do that.
Speaker 2: At the end of the I'm gonna just he's away
Speaker 2: from that. George.
Speaker 4: You may not cutting out of the cheek, You're just
Speaker 4: not saying what you want to exactly.
Speaker 1: George, Coach Beard was about to come out of me,
Speaker 1: and then I have to stop the He is a
Speaker 1: professional four year for a letter word, man, George. I'm
Speaker 1: good now, George.
Speaker 2: I'm used to.
Speaker 1: George and I used to be sitting side by side
Speaker 1: in the old studio of Newburgh Road, and I'm telling you,
Speaker 1: soon as we went to break we curse it. Like say, listen, George,
Speaker 1: really make sure we were off air.
Speaker 2: We were all air.
Speaker 1: George Family show people know we do not We do
Speaker 1: a great job of curtailing what we really want to say.
Speaker 2: But anyway, George, Anthony.
Speaker 4: No, I did hear I had our boys moving back
Speaker 4: each day, but.
Speaker 1: Go he's only going back to close his dang apartment up. Okay,
Speaker 1: tell you don tell me if this makes sense. But
Speaker 1: here's what I told him yesterday. And Lisa, his wife,
Speaker 1: you know it, always say dollars and cents must make sense, George.
Speaker 2: Well, when you have too much money, this is what
Speaker 2: you do. You own a place in Harlem.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you I've been to it three or four times.
Speaker 1: Mike Bide and I walked in the hallway, George, and
Speaker 1: I'm telling you all honestly. Now, Mike's no huge guy,
Speaker 1: and I'm not either. We could not walk shoulder to shoulder.
Speaker 1: The hallway was so tight. I want people to know
Speaker 1: what living in New York's like.
Speaker 2: We could not.
Speaker 1: Walk shoulder to shoulder, side by side the hall he
Speaker 1: was so small, Okay, George. We get into the condo,
Speaker 1: which is probably I think he sold it at a
Speaker 1: million three. And I mean, George, it was just enough
Speaker 1: room for two jerbils to walk around. I mean it
Speaker 1: was flat. Debt, ridiculous, George. That's all I'm telling you.
Speaker 1: Got me million three and we're talking about one hundred
Speaker 1: and twenty six in Lenox. If people know anything about
Speaker 1: New York, right in Harlem, not very far from Sylvia's
Speaker 1: restaurant and well renowned of the Apollo theaters up the road.
Speaker 1: I mean, guys right there. Okay, he puts it on
Speaker 1: the market. He was on the market for about two years,
Speaker 1: and he rents a place in Jersey. Got me right
Speaker 1: on the water, not in Fort Lee, but very close
Speaker 1: to Fort Lee, George, which is right on the other
Speaker 1: side of the HUDs. You got me, he rents it.
Speaker 1: I'm like, why would you do that? Well, we just
Speaker 1: did because we're gonna move to Phoenix. Then why would
Speaker 1: you rent a place.
Speaker 2: In New Jersey.
Speaker 1: Well they do so, George. Then they moved to Phoenix.
Speaker 1: Got me rent a place in Phoenix.
Speaker 2: This is true. Now I'm not this is no joke.
Speaker 2: Rent a place in Phoenix.
Speaker 1: Call me. Three weeks after renting the place in Phoenix.
Speaker 1: We're gonna get a larger place in Phoenix. We're gonna
Speaker 1: close our place up in New Jersey. We're not going back,
Speaker 1: so George, they're going back just to close their apartment up.
Speaker 1: Their leases through the end of the summer, so they're
Speaker 1: gonna be there. Then then they're gonna move back to
Speaker 1: Phoenix to a larger place Jorsey. You know, my dad
Speaker 1: used to say, dollars and cents must make sense. They
Speaker 1: just have too much money.
Speaker 2: That's all Georgia. That's the truth.
Speaker 4: Guys that I would love to share that problem with them.
Speaker 2: I could I.
Speaker 4: Commit it with that lifetre Jaed, I don't know. I
Speaker 4: think it makes good sense to me if I got it,
Speaker 4: I done, got older in life. I'm spending my money, Jed,
Speaker 4: I'm not. I'm not worried about how much money I
Speaker 4: leave here. I got it. I'm gonna spend it. So
Speaker 4: I'm not willing a about that. Butch, Coach said, I
Speaker 4: got it, I earned it, So I'm spending it. And
Speaker 4: that's what I'd be doing. Jack.
Speaker 2: You know what I told him at seventy six, seventy
Speaker 2: seven years old.
Speaker 1: I said, Butch, I need you but to get another
Speaker 1: job so I can steal some more money off of you.
Speaker 2: I want to.
Speaker 4: I'm spending that money. Jack. Ain't nobody getting that money.
Speaker 4: It's going out the window.
Speaker 1: Coach Beard is going back to New York to close
Speaker 1: his apartment up throughout the summer, and then he's not
Speaker 1: going back, which George Anyone owed, you're not going to
Speaker 1: retire in New York. I know they both live there.
Speaker 1: They love that rock. I love the city to visit.
Speaker 1: Anthony loves it. I mean he's got an experience when
Speaker 1: he got locked out of the airport. We'll tell you
Speaker 1: that another day. But George Williams, I said, I love
Speaker 1: it too. You two just don't get any sense. They
Speaker 1: got too much money, George.
Speaker 4: So yes, ad next play less enjoy the times. Yeah,
Speaker 4: they're blessed. They best to be able to spend that. Man,
Speaker 4: what are you gonna do with it? I'm spending Jay,

Speaker 4: much more you want?
Speaker 1: Hey, George, he's still alive and I'm still a tig, George,
Speaker 1: and I still suck blood of the federal government.
Speaker 2: George, I believe in taxation.
Speaker 4: So those of us that know you, Jared, we know
Speaker 4: what you're talking about.
Speaker 2: And he understands.
Speaker 4: So guys, does he does?
Speaker 2: We got sports, guys, we got a lot of George Williams.
Speaker 2: Let's do it when we when we.
Speaker 1: Come back, Shannon played the last twenty five thirty seconds
Speaker 1: of the Prequeess. Guys, you all know I don't gamble.
Speaker 1: I know horsemen now, and I do know a little
Speaker 1: bit more about the horse business we do ten years ago.
Speaker 2: We do.
Speaker 1: But I'm still that I'm a horseman. I bring them
Speaker 1: on to tell me, just like Dale romans to George. Uh,
Speaker 1: after you talked about the whip, Dale calls me he
Speaker 1: couldn't come on. He told me exactly how the whip
Speaker 1: is just a little styrofoam thing. You said, it has
Speaker 1: not harm the horses at all. So I do no
Speaker 1: horseman now, and I can call him directly. But George
Speaker 1: may have been the greatest stretch driver I've ever seen.
Speaker 1: I was screaming and yelling. So let's go to break Shannon,
Speaker 1: because we're right at seven seventeen. Shan has got it up.
Speaker 1: When we come back, guys, we're gonna listen to the
Speaker 1: last twenty five seconds of that breakness and talk about
Speaker 1: it after the break.
Speaker 6: Indeed, and journalism is moving through, moving through on the
Speaker 6: inside slight study, a little bit of traffic, but journalism
Speaker 6: is trying to box on through very tight. Still is journalism?
Speaker 6: Goskars come away with a lead, A lot of bumping
Speaker 6: going on as clever again, study and shuffle back. Journalism
Speaker 6: shifted in. Here's sand man on the outside trying to
Speaker 6: run on. Journalism has recovered. Journalism has recovered and is
Speaker 6: coming Journalism. Journalism Sansation all run despite traffic. Godsgar was second,
Speaker 6: then Sandman third, and Galorreated fourth.
Speaker 1: Guys one hundred and fiftieth running of the Preakness. George,
Speaker 1: did you watch the race? Did you Were you able
Speaker 1: to see the race?
Speaker 2: George?
Speaker 4: I saw it. Jed was that?
Speaker 2: George?
Speaker 1: How many times did you think journalism was gonna go down?
Speaker 1: I thought they were gonna go down three horses. I
Speaker 1: thought it was gonna be one of the ugliest scenes
Speaker 1: in Triple Crown history.
Speaker 2: George.
Speaker 1: I mean I was screaming with my mother, going They're
Speaker 1: gonna go George, I never seen like ever your opinion
Speaker 1: right through a d anty.
Speaker 2: Your opinion? What did you think?
Speaker 4: Well, jee, I thought not only that, And then Jay
Speaker 4: I thought like we had a couple of years ago
Speaker 4: at Churchill Downs when I bet you I bet number
Speaker 4: seven and it took him completely off the board. I
Speaker 4: thought we wasn't gonna have another one of those, another
Speaker 4: one of those days, Jae. I thought Lahaws was gonna
Speaker 4: get disqualified, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: Growing up And oh, George, it was crazy, George.
Speaker 4: They were banging, they were banging to that. It just
Speaker 4: shows you how physical horse faces. Really is when them
Speaker 4: horses get together and then jackets get together. There they
Speaker 4: bang it. They're not playing. They fight each.
Speaker 2: Other, George. They're elbowing each other. I mean they all
Speaker 2: yeah each other.
Speaker 4: It was amazing. Yeah what And like you said, it
Speaker 4: was amazing. No one got hurt.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, it was amazing. No one went down.
Speaker 1: And George, I can't believe that those three horses, I
Speaker 1: thought they were all going to go down. I was
Speaker 1: fighting for it at eight to ten seconds stretch. I
Speaker 1: was legitimately going, they're gonna go down. I have never
Speaker 1: seen anything like that, George ever.
Speaker 4: And the strength of those horses.
Speaker 1: Oh, Anthony, Yeah, if I treated it out, it was
Speaker 1: the race was over. I want every but understand, if
Speaker 1: you're not rubbing, you're not racing, George.
Speaker 2: And people said that's supposed to be for the car racing,
Speaker 2: but it was for the treat Andy, What did you
Speaker 2: think at me about that race? Fantastic race, you know what.
Speaker 5: As funny as it sounds, I actually did not watch
Speaker 5: the pre this at all. I didn't even know realized
Speaker 5: what was going on this weekend. I was I didn't
Speaker 5: I barely catch up with any force this week and
Speaker 5: other than the play off.
Speaker 3: That was about it.
Speaker 5: But I'm glad one though. Oh yeah, he feels short
Speaker 5: a little bit in the Derby, but he balked past
Speaker 5: the Preakness.
Speaker 2: So that's a sovereignty.
Speaker 3: I didn't realize a.
Speaker 1: Lot of people, mister George, I did, Anthony. Mother and
Speaker 1: I were the only ones. Everybody knows, George. Usually my
Speaker 1: whole family gets together for the Triple crowns. But my
Speaker 1: father passed away, and his brothers passed away, and her
Speaker 1: uncle passed away, who were big horsemen, like I told people,
Speaker 1: So it's just my mother and I and I'm the
Speaker 1: only one, screamed. Larry's in London. I'm little brother, and
Speaker 1: Carrie and my wife were at Derby City. I'm throwing
Speaker 1: them under the.
Speaker 4: Bus some money on this. I'm going to say you
Speaker 4: no care was watching.
Speaker 2: Derby City, George Anthony. It was crazy.
Speaker 1: But if they were rubbing Anthony like auto racing, I'm
Speaker 1: telling you, they were bumping and banging. And journalism showed me, George.
Speaker 1: He showed me a ton. That horse showed hard he.
Speaker 2: Had to one.
Speaker 4: Well, he's been well documented, yeah, he been well documented.
Speaker 1: He wanted to win that race and what a great race.
Speaker 1: Now here's the thing though, and you may not know
Speaker 1: what George does. Kobe and destroyed, George right demolished. What
Speaker 1: do you think being rebuilt in the same place.
Speaker 4: What do you think though, Well, they say they let
Speaker 4: it run down so badly that they couldn't redo it,
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying. They said it was almost dilapidated,
Speaker 4: because I mean that in Church of Down in the
Speaker 4: same era, and uh, we've kept Church of Downs up.
Speaker 4: But they said that the bard, the stables say it
Speaker 4: was just a fire trap, you know, and they said
Speaker 4: the wood and stuff, they say, they just let it
Speaker 4: deteriorate beyond me playing. So I think they just have
Speaker 4: to do it. I don't think it's something that they
Speaker 4: really want to do. I think that they could do it.
Speaker 4: They restore it because like we did this, I think
Speaker 4: it will bring to me a little more value. So
Speaker 4: I think there's something that they don't want to do,
Speaker 4: but it has to be done, and they're gonna save
Speaker 4: as much as they can.
Speaker 1: Pimlico opened in eighteen seventy Kentucky. Derby is one hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty first year this year, this is one hundred
Speaker 1: and fiftieth running of the Preakness. Guys, horse racing oldest
Speaker 1: sports business in America. People just didn't know that. So yes,
Speaker 1: I hate to see that. I have been to Pimlico.
Speaker 1: Of course I lived in DC, so yes, I've been
Speaker 1: to Piblico. And you're George, it has to be redone,
Speaker 1: there's no question about that.
Speaker 4: But a ton of history, guys.
Speaker 1: So now you've got two of the three legs done.
Speaker 1: Sovereignty George gets the Derby and gets journalism straight up
Speaker 1: fair race. Journalism will go down in history for that
Speaker 1: stretch drive, George, he will go down in history. What
Speaker 1: do you think happens in this Billmont? The third leg
Speaker 1: of the Triple Crown? June the seventh, will both horses
Speaker 1: be in it? I can't wait to see if journalism
Speaker 1: is going to go for the third piece of the
Speaker 1: triple Crown, see if we can get two of the
Speaker 1: three pieces. But I wonder if sovereignty is going to
Speaker 1: be back. I just I came back. Now it's kind
Speaker 1: of some interest, George.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you know, I kind of I'm kind of
Speaker 4: a little you know, Jerry, because we all we grew
Speaker 4: up with when with the Triple Clown was a triple crown.
Speaker 4: All horses, man, are three races, and now they're talking
Speaker 4: about the time the distance. I mean, I don't understand
Speaker 4: because I've never seen a lot of horses break down
Speaker 4: that have won the Triple Clown that went on to
Speaker 4: be great horses, you know, from secretary and on back,
Speaker 4: you know. And I don't know why now. I can't
Speaker 4: understand that any time that you get along with the
Speaker 4: lay that you're going to be stronger. But I don't
Speaker 4: know why it's such a big to do now because
Speaker 4: I guess because horses are going down and we take
Speaker 4: more interest when it goes down. But you know, I mean,
Speaker 4: there's no difference in any other horses ever won the
Speaker 4: Triple Clown and how he finished. And like I said,
Speaker 4: I'm not a horse expert, but I just think that
Speaker 4: the great horses are the great horses, and they go
Speaker 4: home and do what they do.
Speaker 1: Like you say, first week in May is the Derby,
Speaker 1: two weeks after through that is the Preakness, which was
Speaker 1: May the seventeenth this year, and then three weeks is
Speaker 1: the Belmont June the seventh, and George, you're correct, they've
Speaker 1: been running this for one hundred and fifty years, you
Speaker 1: would think. But for some reason now George, there is
Speaker 1: an issue. Horses have been going down. We know Churchill
Speaker 1: downs last year. There were some issues out in California.
Speaker 1: There were issues. So George, I don't know I'm gonna
Speaker 1: speak on I'm not gonna speak on horses or.
Speaker 2: I don't know enough.
Speaker 4: I just know I don't neither.
Speaker 1: The history is right, George, Well, what you said with
Speaker 1: the history is Secretariat ran these races, just like I said,
Speaker 1: Derby first weekend in May, two weeks later, Breakness, three
Speaker 1: weeks later, Belmont. Okay, so we're admiral all the horses.
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna tell you this. When I have NBA
Speaker 1: players on TV, which we're.
Speaker 2: Gonna get to, we're gonna go to Little Anthony talking about.
Speaker 1: There need to be there needs to be more days
Speaker 1: in between games.
Speaker 2: George is just you know, now, this is one thing, George.
Speaker 1: Everybody laughs about Errol Griffiths's Utah Jazz team, the team
Speaker 1: that I got to play.
Speaker 2: With him on.
Speaker 1: George, we were the worst team my rookie year. My
Speaker 1: second year, George, Western Commons in Front Finals Game seven
Speaker 1: got me third year. After that off and running got me, George.
Speaker 1: We had no problem with back to backs, We had
Speaker 1: no problem getting on commercial flights, and they're getting to
Speaker 1: be so soft. It's stupid. These guys are guys. I
Speaker 1: just wish we could make them have our schedule. We
Speaker 1: played three in a row, George. They stopped the three
Speaker 1: in a row in the NBA, which, if people don't understand,
Speaker 1: that means playing on a tuesdayday, Thursday, our Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
Speaker 2: Got me. We used to do that on commercial flights.
Speaker 2: They don't do that anymore, George.
Speaker 1: When I got Gordon talking about there wouldn't be as
Speaker 1: many blowouts if we just I mean, I'm like George.
Speaker 2: I don't know, but.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: Because George, we're gonna use this show a mess up.
Speaker 1: So Anthony, when we come back, it's seven twenty nine,
Speaker 1: we're gonna go to break. We're gonna stay on task
Speaker 1: because I'm cutting this show up. Anthony, when we come back,
Speaker 1: I'm throwing it to you. You're gonna give us some
Speaker 1: of this NBA news and then George and I will
Speaker 1: go after that and critique it. But all I'm gonna
Speaker 1: say to people if for something I've done is a
Speaker 1: player and a coach. It's starting to get ridiculous.
Speaker 2: Now with the player.
Speaker 4: Oh my god.
Speaker 1: And George, I'm not telling you to shut up and play.
Speaker 2: That's not what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: No, No, I understand what you're saying. I understand.
Speaker 2: To George, I tell them.
Speaker 4: I understand what you're saying.
Speaker 1: Yet, come on, guys, it's now to what we're gonna
Speaker 1: be playing one game a week. Guy, you're playing twenty
Speaker 1: years as it is, you're making more money than God sense, George.
Speaker 2: And now we're talking about we need for this and that.
Speaker 1: And I hate to tell you. People can say the
Speaker 1: game is better. I don't think it is it. We're
Speaker 1: gonna talk about it after the break. Got Anthony, you
Speaker 1: got George Williams. It's seven thirty guys, we'll talk to
Speaker 1: you on a second.
Speaker 2: Welcome back to the Sports Radio Monday, Main nineteenth at

Speaker 5: torn achilles in Game five. Game six was almost a
Speaker 5: walk in the park. Nicks one one, nineteen eighty one,
Speaker 5: advancing in the Eastern Conference Finals, will face to Indiana Pacers, who,
Speaker 5: while honestly did not think it would make it this far,
Speaker 5: taught me off guard a little bit. I said, Indiana Pacers,
Speaker 5: We're gonna struggle getting past round one, and here they
Speaker 5: are in the Eastern Conference Finals, so.
Speaker 3: I look stupid.
Speaker 5: So my predictions, I'm gonna go ahead throw them out the
Speaker 5: window into a twenty twenty six because all these pas,
Speaker 5: the Pacers were gonna beat the Celtics, I said, I
Speaker 5: hadn't no Tatum was gonna tears achilles either, But hey,
Speaker 5: you know, Miniscus.
Speaker 3: Diputated and then.
Speaker 5: Also the West and the Western Conference and under beat
Speaker 5: the Nuggets one twenty five to ninety three, tired for
Speaker 5: the third thirty point blowout in the postseason, the most
Speaker 5: in franchise history. Most in the NBA history right now. Okay,
Speaker 5: so he's looking good. They'll be facing the Minnesota Timberwolves
Speaker 5: in the Western Conference Finals and they'll actually play Tuesdays,
Speaker 5: so they got a quick turnaround for theirs because they
Speaker 5: went to a game seven.
Speaker 3: They will be.
Speaker 5: Playing Tuesday at eight thirty pm, and then the New
Speaker 5: York Knicks and the Indian Pacers will be playing on
Speaker 5: Wednesday at eight pm, both for their first games for
Speaker 5: the Eastern and Western Conference Finals, and winners of these
Speaker 5: two series will be placing for the NBA Playoffs and
Speaker 5: the NBA Championship. So we got a lot to look
Speaker 5: forward to. But I can't forget about my woman's side.
Speaker 5: The WNBA just kicked off Friday this past week. Kaitlyn
Speaker 5: Clark came out with a bang criple double to start
Speaker 5: the season in a Chicago sky Man.
Speaker 1: That ultimate Angel rees alone. Y'all, y'all leave angels alone.
Speaker 1: She just can't score her, but you can rebound.
Speaker 4: She flopped.
Speaker 3: Sorry that that flavor foul is a flop. I saw it.
Speaker 5: I'm not I'm not falling for that.
Speaker 3: That was that that was that was a lebron lebron flop.
Speaker 7: She found a regular layup and she flopped out of
Speaker 7: bounds and try to get matched. And the funny part
Speaker 7: is they went to the interview words. I feel the interview.
Speaker 7: The interviewer is killing more than anybody I've ever seen.
Speaker 5: They said, They said, we see you've been working on
Speaker 5: your right hand in the off season.
Speaker 3: What about the left hand?
Speaker 5: She said, I'm right handed, but she shoots left handed.
Speaker 5: And everybody said, oh, that makes sense. Why she can't
Speaker 5: make layers.
Speaker 1: Y'all leave y'all, leave her alone, leave Adel George, protect her,
Speaker 1: protect ager.
Speaker 5: And clearly in the NBA, and you can't make a
Speaker 5: two foot lab stop.
Speaker 2: She's a rebound is Roden couldn't either just rebound.
Speaker 3: He's just the face joy arguing with people.
Speaker 4: Either it's commercial, it's commercial. It's commercial, Ja, and she's
Speaker 4: doing her part. It's all about advertisement, baby, it's all
Speaker 4: about bringing the w A n B A brand to
Speaker 4: the forefront, and she's doing her part.
Speaker 1: Let's be honest, guys. Are we talking about the w
Speaker 1: n B A on E Sports Radio? Yes we are.
Speaker 1: And I don't cover women's sports like I should, and
Speaker 1: we are.
Speaker 2: Talking about the w n B A. Let's just be honest.
Speaker 2: Kayling Clark's a bad one.
Speaker 4: Can I say yes?
Speaker 2: Go ahead?
Speaker 4: Love to hater m Angel Reese and uh, Kayling Clark
Speaker 4: is Larry Bird Magic Johnson see a Minica can't get
Speaker 4: over the melon thing. And all you guys do is
Speaker 4: have a rivalry and the NBA plays it up and
Speaker 4: they make sure that the news media keeps it going.
Speaker 4: And so you know, it's just it's all about money.
Speaker 4: Jair commercial. Okay, Okay, that's all. They won't just mention
Speaker 4: my name mentioned my name.
Speaker 2: Baby, she cannot make a layup. But anyway, but.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna get paid. But I'm gonna get paid. I
Speaker 4: ain't even leave to Kayla Leaves. That's one thing he
Speaker 4: said that.
Speaker 2: Kaylor Clark, Kaitlin, where you're going tomorrow? I'll see you tomorrow. George. Yes,
Speaker 2: with the NBA, let's get back to the big boys.
Speaker 4: Here's the deal.
Speaker 1: I haven't Game four of the Nick Celtics Celtics without
Speaker 1: Tatum one twenty seven Nicks one O two blowout. Got me?
Speaker 2: I mean Game five?
Speaker 1: Excuse me, Game six Nicks one nineteen Celtics eighty one
Speaker 1: blowout in the series.
Speaker 2: Got me, doesn't go seven?
Speaker 1: We come over here, to Okay, see they lose a
Speaker 1: dog fight, but you know, but they lost the game
Speaker 1: before pretty big. They come back and beat the Nuggets
Speaker 1: ninety three. So, George, did I hear Gordon speaking about
Speaker 1: they need more time in between games. So, George, there
Speaker 1: were quite a few blowouts. I'm gonna throw it to
Speaker 1: you and Anthony in your opinion, why do you think
Speaker 1: this has happened because there have been quite a few blowouts?
Speaker 4: Well, Jay, good question, because I had the same. Uh
Speaker 4: but I did. I was wondering why there were so
Speaker 4: many blowouts? Right, So I call our resource. I said, well,
Speaker 4: let me go call some man has been in the
Speaker 4: league then played won championships. I said, well, let me
Speaker 4: talk some mad So I call a butcher, Me and
Speaker 4: coach Bid. We talk about it, and we said going over.
Speaker 4: He said he wanted he wouldn't even discuss the Jay.
Speaker 4: He said, but he said, there is no basketball. He said.
Speaker 4: The coaches don't have to coach. He said, our do
Speaker 4: do is run to a corner. They throw up three poinners.
Speaker 4: They don't care. You got a twenty point league. Nobody thought,
Speaker 4: let's drive it to the basket and maybe we could.
Speaker 4: You know what I mean, we hit five times when
Speaker 4: we drove to basketball, but we choose to keep throwing
Speaker 4: into the corners and we shouldn't about twenty five percent,
Speaker 4: you know what I mean? And so, Jay, I just
Speaker 4: think that the coaches do not have no strategies. All
Speaker 4: they're doing is the three point thing is what they
Speaker 4: call it analytics, and they're living with analytics, not how
Speaker 4: to win the game, not the strategy you got a
Speaker 4: big man to get. This is where my answer, Jay,
Speaker 4: And now I want you to play and on this too.
Speaker 4: If you're the guard, Jay, do you not think that
Speaker 4: if a sixty two man, sixty four man is checking
Speaker 4: a seventh I mean sixth level man, that you could
Speaker 4: throw in the ball? Jedge. Do you think that you
Speaker 4: as a guard that you would let another guard check
Speaker 4: a seven foot and you couldn't give them the ball?
Speaker 2: No, didn't, but you're right they did it. That's what
Speaker 2: they did. Ye.
Speaker 4: I mean, God, I can I cannot believe that these
Speaker 4: sinners are letting God holiday check the big cat. Come on, man,
Speaker 4: I mean I would I would, he would have No.
Speaker 4: I would be so black, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: I mean, do you think.
Speaker 1: No? No, No, Okay, George. Great point, Anthony. I want
Speaker 1: you to think about this. I don't know if you
Speaker 1: saw the play, but they called Gordon for nipping Shake
Speaker 1: gildags Alexander with an albow, George stationary not.
Speaker 2: Moving, and guy said it had nothing to do with
Speaker 2: the game.
Speaker 1: Okay, see shake guild and Alexander is gonna be MVP,
Speaker 1: but had nothing to do with the game. Got me
Speaker 1: are the outcome? The call had nothing to do with that.
Speaker 1: I want people to understand that. But it was not
Speaker 1: a file.
Speaker 2: Shake guild and.
Speaker 1: Alexander had filed that boy twice. He finally nips him
Speaker 1: a little bit to get him off of him, George,
Speaker 1: and they called an offensive file. I'm telling you all,
Speaker 1: in the old days, you were taught well, since it
Speaker 1: was taught to spread out and gather your room in
Speaker 1: your circumference, and people would have got popped George.
Speaker 2: They're gonna change the rule.
Speaker 1: They even said yesterday they're gonna have to take it
Speaker 1: back to the rules committee because George defenders lead with
Speaker 1: their face get hit. And yes he got nipped, he
Speaker 1: didn't get hit hard, George. Gordon was not trying to
Speaker 1: hurt him. But Gordon was just trying to gang some
Speaker 1: room and nipped his cheek, and they.
Speaker 2: Called off as a file to free throw the ball
Speaker 2: out of bounce. George. That's a bad call.
Speaker 4: I understand.
Speaker 2: If you put your head in the way, you're supposed
Speaker 2: get knocked out. George.
Speaker 1: They've got to change the rule back, period.
Speaker 4: I understand that. But Jack as a big man and
Speaker 4: you are guard. I'm not facing out so Gordon can
Speaker 4: see me. And let this guy stand in front of me.
Speaker 4: I'm turning, pinned him down, letting you live. The ball
Speaker 4: over his head with my hands. You throwing into my hand.
Speaker 4: I catch it immediately, laid up, come on angles of everything,
Speaker 4: you know. You know this the angles of everything. But
Speaker 4: I didn't even have to get physical with him. I'm
Speaker 4: chaying it. Just holler than you too, you know. Taught
Speaker 4: me the ball to my hand.
Speaker 2: I just understand that.
Speaker 4: Like, but lad, coach, you're gonna have to.
Speaker 2: Coach more physical. No, they don't.
Speaker 1: They just handled the shoot threes. So that's the one.
Speaker 1: Same thing happened to Donovan. Mitchell had nothing to do
Speaker 1: with the outcome of the game, but he caught it
Speaker 1: on the sideline again. One of the knicks was leading
Speaker 1: with his face not Nick's pacers got nipped.
Speaker 2: They called a file and Donovan same thing happened yesterday.
Speaker 1: Guys, you're supposed to be able to spread out and
Speaker 1: protect yourself, not now you have to turn your back
Speaker 1: to the defender as the defender lies on you, and
Speaker 1: he did yesterday. Shake Gildicks did file the guy before
Speaker 1: they called a file, but they won't call it.
Speaker 2: So when he.
Speaker 1: Finally got nipped, the whistle blows and everybody knows the
Speaker 1: rules got to get changed or because George, people would
Speaker 1: have gotten really hurt. In my day, we were opening up, George,
Speaker 1: were opening up with our elbows.
Speaker 2: You couldn't throw them.
Speaker 4: They wouldn't reach out and get a man.
Speaker 1: George, but they would let you spread out to protect
Speaker 1: the ball.
Speaker 2: And they're gonna have to change that rule back.
Speaker 1: So what do you think? What do you think of
Speaker 1: the blowouts? What is your opinion? Before we go to break?
Speaker 3: It really didn't surprise me.
Speaker 5: Kind of tell by how the play style was going
Speaker 5: that one of the teams was gonna get blowout because
Speaker 5: either they're gonna be tired and they weren't gonna hit shots.
Speaker 5: And a lot of these teams that are going deeper
Speaker 5: into the tournament. A lot of them are momentum teams,
Speaker 5: especially in the Eastern Conference more than anything in the West.
Speaker 5: OKC and Minnesota aren't big. They're good momentum teams, but
Speaker 5: they're solid teams even when they're down. They can still
Speaker 5: surge and make comebacks. The Knicks consurge and make comebacks.
Speaker 5: They're not a huge just off of just straight momentum.
Speaker 5: The Celtics, the Pacers have it at times as well too,
Speaker 5: even the teams that already got eliminated. They predicate how
Speaker 5: they play off if they make shots, and particularly from
Speaker 5: the perimeter. We saw that a lot of teams were
Speaker 5: living and dying out there. They'd be up fifteen points
Speaker 5: in the first quarter and shoot seven threes back to
Speaker 5: back to back.
Speaker 4: It's just you're.
Speaker 5: Putting yourself in a bad situation to let a team
Speaker 5: come back, yes, because you take such poor shots selections
Speaker 5: and such low percentages, because you're like, oh, well that's
Speaker 5: what got us up, we should stick with it, realizing
Speaker 5: that you know, in one of the to piss me off,
Speaker 5: KP would get a switches on point guards and shoot
Speaker 5: fadeaways from ten feet.
Speaker 1: Yes, he's talking about parsing guys said seven four George,
Speaker 1: and it's like, give me a break.
Speaker 3: He drops step and go over the right, right or
Speaker 3: left shoulder.
Speaker 5: He shoots fade aways. Catching it, they'll run, They'll runner four,
Speaker 5: they'll runner four out one and almost kind of like
Speaker 5: not even a hollow action. They just do a pretty
Speaker 5: much a clear out where the big man is on
Speaker 5: the free throw line extended or even on the free
Speaker 5: throw line. He catches, turns and face and doesn't take
Speaker 5: a dribble. And understand shooting over a small guard from
Speaker 5: time to time, but not every time.
Speaker 3: You catch it.
Speaker 2: At least Julius Randall will go through your chests. Guys.
Speaker 1: At seven forty five, when we come back, we'll finish
Speaker 1: with the NBA. It's Eve Sports Radio for numbers five zero, two, five,
Speaker 1: seven seventy nine.
Speaker 2: Welcome back to Eves Sports Radio.
Speaker 1: Seven forty eight May nineteenth, Monday, we will be saying
Speaker 1: June soon, which is the sixth month, guys. That means
Speaker 1: will be almost halfway through the year. Christmas is around
Speaker 1: the corner.
Speaker 2: Now, I don't, let's go back.
Speaker 4: I got it every year every year about George.
Speaker 2: All I want to do is see them.
Speaker 4: Here's the deal.
Speaker 2: Again, did in.
Speaker 1: Y all's opinion, Anthony, your first Georgia second, did shake
Speaker 1: Gilda's Alexander legitimize himself and is this year's MVP of
Speaker 1: the NBA. Anthony, let me just give you the numbers,
Speaker 1: unbelievable numbers. Twelve or nineteen from the field, three for
Speaker 1: four from the three, eight for nine from the free
Speaker 1: throw line, for assists, three steals, thirty five points in
Speaker 1: game seven, he arrived, gentlemen.
Speaker 2: In my opinion, what's yours? Anthony?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think I think he he solidified himself in
Speaker 5: that fotty. I think even before the Game seven he
Speaker 5: still had it. Another one thing that George brought up
Speaker 5: was about a lot of a lot of big and
Speaker 5: then getting stopped by guards. Kid, he had a decent game,
Speaker 5: but he had a lot of turnovers. And that gard
Speaker 5: last night was Alex Carusoe, right.
Speaker 1: George, George was talking about he was talking about Cruso also,
Speaker 1: And yes, so people understand Carusoe, who was a champion
Speaker 1: with the Lakers back in two thousand. Guys, he's six
Speaker 1: foot five. There's no way he guards Joker.
Speaker 2: No way.
Speaker 4: Come on, man, come on, come on, Because.
Speaker 2: Basically, no coaching had no idea how to get him
Speaker 2: the ball again.
Speaker 3: Chicken, Yes, okay, I'm a man.
Speaker 2: And George, let's don't go. She's got it.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask you in your opinion, WoT everybody just
Speaker 1: think about this now, logically, could have anyone on ok
Speaker 1: c's roster guarded Shaquille O'Neill, any other even.
Speaker 4: Chad Hogan, George, Oh, come on, man, no, son.
Speaker 1: No, he's physically hurting those boys, period, point blank. He's
Speaker 1: physically hurting those boys.
Speaker 2: Guys.
Speaker 1: I'm just the game only by making a normal move.
Speaker 1: I mean, j Russo on shock.
Speaker 4: Let's back yes, let's back at that through Jee, let's
Speaker 4: back that up. Because do you have guard that would
Speaker 4: throw him the bar on the inside? When I mean,
Speaker 4: I see so many big men wide opening out. I
Speaker 4: look at these guards, man, nigga, But I mean, Joe,
Speaker 4: I don't the angles. I mean, they don't even look
Speaker 4: to get the back. You know, we look to get assists.
Speaker 2: Jee.
Speaker 4: We thought it was cool to get assistant a big
Speaker 4: man throw a freaky pass. It's got something, throw no pass?
Speaker 4: You got sixth jet, I do you take six? And
Speaker 4: that was so man all night line, and I called
Speaker 4: Iron Butcher bred about that again. I said, but how
Speaker 4: does that happen? He said, George, I don't know this, NBA,
Speaker 4: he said, because the coaches don't coach. Like you said before,
Speaker 4: I'm not finding them. When you look for mismatches the
Speaker 4: wing championships, jaed, that's how you win them. You find
Speaker 4: what your best advantage is. You know what I mean.
Speaker 2: We take advantage of.
Speaker 4: Our best advantage because you I'm playing them seven times.
Speaker 4: Everybody knows what everybody's doing. Everybody knows. Now who do
Speaker 4: we take advantage of? Who came over to Oh we
Speaker 4: got this little bit gun taking us our center and
Speaker 4: you just lose. It'll give me a break. But go ahead, guys.
Speaker 2: No, you were describing when you were going bom.
Speaker 1: He's saying, ball testers, guys, so you all know they're
Speaker 1: over dribbling. That's what George is doing. You all know,
Speaker 1: and that's exactly what's going on. I mean, guys, right now,
Speaker 1: the game is so different that But I don't know
Speaker 1: if it's better. I'm not gonna say it's not me.
Speaker 1: I'm an old guy and we always are saying our
Speaker 1: game was better. But again, I'm just asking everyone who
Speaker 1: watched the game yesterday if Shaquille O'Neill, and don't tell
Speaker 1: me Shaquille O'Neill could not play in today's era.
Speaker 2: Don't tell me that. You just can't tell me that
Speaker 2: there was anybody.
Speaker 1: On the floor that could have guard that man running
Speaker 1: straight down the middle of the floor, burying them underneath
Speaker 1: the basket and creating matches to where everyone would be open.
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you everyone, the reason Joke had the turnovers,
Speaker 1: Anthony is one reason, one reason only.
Speaker 2: They had him doing things out of position.
Speaker 1: George, George, you know they threw the ball into Gordon,
Speaker 1: the Denver Nuggets threw the ball, get away from me
Speaker 1: with a bad hamstring, get away from me. That's just
Speaker 1: come on, Jamal Murris better than that. But guys, if
Speaker 1: Jamal Murray, if they're throwing it into Gordon and you're
Speaker 1: not bringing the ball up the floor, you need to
Speaker 1: get back to work.
Speaker 2: I'm just being honest.
Speaker 4: It just but do you think you have a guard
Speaker 4: that would throw shack about.
Speaker 2: Jack without a George shack do.
Speaker 4: You have Do you think Shaq would get the ball
Speaker 4: from the guards.
Speaker 1: No question, George, Shaq would answer the ball. See I
Speaker 1: just George, I don't understand it anymore. But I got
Speaker 1: before we before we get out of here, George, we
Speaker 1: do have to have one funny thing, and I'm gonna
Speaker 1: get into it more tomorrow, but I want you to
