WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.280
<v Speaker 1>All right.

2
00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:02.839
<v Speaker 2>So yesterday we were doing our show. We were going

3
00:00:02.839 --> 00:00:08.000
<v Speaker 2>into the last segment and Kat said, hey, I don't

4
00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:12.679
<v Speaker 2>feel good. It just hit me. I gotta leave. Okay,

5
00:00:14.919 --> 00:00:17.679
<v Speaker 2>I misheard him. I thought he said, oh my god,

6
00:00:17.719 --> 00:00:18.800
<v Speaker 2>my rectum is burning.

7
00:00:18.839 --> 00:00:20.399
<v Speaker 1>I'm out of here. He hits it.

8
00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:24.679
<v Speaker 2>Yah, he said he pooped his pants and he needed

9
00:00:24.719 --> 00:00:27.719
<v Speaker 2>to leave. And he said it happened like an hour prior,

10
00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:29.600
<v Speaker 2>but he was okay with it. Yeah, this Luke can

11
00:00:29.640 --> 00:00:31.960
<v Speaker 2>trade is too much. My rectum is burning. I've got

12
00:00:31.960 --> 00:00:35.880
<v Speaker 2>to go. But we then heard reports through back channels

13
00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:40.920
<v Speaker 2>that he was throwing up profusely all evening but did

14
00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:43.479
<v Speaker 2>not have a fever. So I was thinking, all right, man,

15
00:00:43.719 --> 00:00:46.640
<v Speaker 2>I feel better about me not getting sick, because anytime

16
00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:48.960
<v Speaker 2>somebody has the plague around you and you work in

17
00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:51.039
<v Speaker 2>a shoe box with each other, the minute they're like, hey,

18
00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:52.320
<v Speaker 2>I was throwing up blood.

19
00:00:52.439 --> 00:00:55.520
<v Speaker 1>Hope you're okay, You're like, oh, I care about you,

20
00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:57.560
<v Speaker 1>but mostly I care about me. I don't want to

21
00:00:57.600 --> 00:00:58.479
<v Speaker 1>catch that. Yeah.

22
00:00:58.520 --> 00:01:00.439
<v Speaker 2>I got home last time. My wife's like, oh my god,

23
00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:02.640
<v Speaker 2>Kat was sick. Were you around him? I go no,

24
00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:04.640
<v Speaker 2>But he was in Ben's laughing entire show.

25
00:01:04.760 --> 00:01:06.719
<v Speaker 3>What's so funny is as soon as he walked out,

26
00:01:06.760 --> 00:01:09.239
<v Speaker 3>you guys looked at each other and grabbed that Purel

27
00:01:10.120 --> 00:01:11.599
<v Speaker 3>I always save yourselves in it.

28
00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:15.719
<v Speaker 2>I was putting Purel hand sanitizer on my face like aftershaft,

29
00:01:16.359 --> 00:01:19.359
<v Speaker 2>all over my body. I used it to experience pleasure, right,

30
00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:22.280
<v Speaker 2>I was using it like a like some never mind.

31
00:01:22.359 --> 00:01:22.519
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

32
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:26.920
<v Speaker 2>So anyways, KT is not with us today, man, And

33
00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:28.760
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if he's even alive right now.

34
00:01:28.879 --> 00:01:31.719
<v Speaker 1>I hope he is okay. But if KT is sick, right,

35
00:01:31.760 --> 00:01:32.480
<v Speaker 1>he's homesick?

36
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:35.280
<v Speaker 2>Uh huh, what are the chances he's listening?

37
00:01:36.599 --> 00:01:36.920
<v Speaker 4>Zero?

38
00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:38.120
<v Speaker 1>Come on, dude.

39
00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:41.000
<v Speaker 3>Well, and so it sounds like he has what Mike

40
00:01:41.079 --> 00:01:43.840
<v Speaker 3>had over the weekend, and I will tell you that Mike.

41
00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:45.879
<v Speaker 3>Mike was telling me he's like, I can't even believe

42
00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:48.200
<v Speaker 3>he's texting you guys right now because I didn't have the.

43
00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:48.959
<v Speaker 5>Energy to do that.

44
00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:51.480
<v Speaker 3>So if he is that bad, I don't think he's listening.

45
00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:54.680
<v Speaker 3>But KT does try his best to stay with the

46
00:01:54.719 --> 00:01:55.840
<v Speaker 3>show as much as possible.

47
00:01:56.000 --> 00:01:59.040
<v Speaker 2>How did KT get it from Soroy though they were

48
00:01:59.040 --> 00:01:59.959
<v Speaker 2>hanging out all weekend.

49
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:02.079
<v Speaker 5>They must have been making out behind my back.

50
00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:07.280
<v Speaker 3>I barely even saw Kat yesterday, Christina, she might be

51
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:07.760
<v Speaker 3>a carrier.

52
00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:09.400
<v Speaker 1>Oh like she didn't have it.

53
00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:12.240
<v Speaker 2>She carries it super strong immune systems. Yeah, I was

54
00:02:12.639 --> 00:02:16.319
<v Speaker 2>about you know, I think usually with Kate emergency every

55
00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:19.000
<v Speaker 2>day when Kat misses the show, he just listens told

56
00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:24.360
<v Speaker 2>podcasts of shows that he was on. From what I understand, Uh, anyways,

57
00:02:24.520 --> 00:02:26.960
<v Speaker 2>keep him in your thoughts and prayers and and thinking

58
00:02:26.960 --> 00:02:30.280
<v Speaker 2>about Kat reminded me of the intro.

59
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:50.759

<v Speaker 2>This is the world famous Ben and Skin show we're

79
00:03:49.240 --> 00:03:53.840
<v Speaker 2>without KT today and uh, we're It's gonna continue to

80
00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:56.039
<v Speaker 2>be a weird show in a lot of ways. It's

81
00:03:56.080 --> 00:03:58.199
<v Speaker 2>it's a weird time in the Metroplex, and we are

82
00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:00.719
<v Speaker 2>a reflection of what's going on in Elas Fort Worth.

83
00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:04.479
<v Speaker 2>The biggest story in Dallas Fort Worth is that shockingly,

84
00:04:04.759 --> 00:04:08.120
<v Speaker 2>Luka Doncic was traded to the Lakers, and the story

85
00:04:09.319 --> 00:04:11.639
<v Speaker 2>just keeps going and going and going because new things

86
00:04:11.639 --> 00:04:15.520
<v Speaker 2>are happening. And today the Lakers introduced Luca. He had

87
00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:17.560
<v Speaker 2>a big press conference right behind you, Skin, I'm looking

88
00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:20.800
<v Speaker 2>at a huge monitor here in studio and seeing Luca

89
00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:24.120
<v Speaker 2>with all those Lakers logos. It's just reopening wounds that

90
00:04:24.199 --> 00:04:27.199
<v Speaker 2>haven't yet had a chance to heal. And so the

91
00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:29.879
<v Speaker 2>Metroplex is really hurting right now just because of the

92
00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:35.720
<v Speaker 2>shock of such a meaningful player being traded. Yeah, we'll

93
00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:37.800
<v Speaker 2>play you a bunch of the audio coming up here

94
00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:38.519
<v Speaker 2>at five o'clock.

95
00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:39.160
<v Speaker 1>Do not miss it.

96
00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:41.519
<v Speaker 2>It's one of those days where we are off early

97
00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:44.920
<v Speaker 2>because pregame starts at five point thirty. The Mavericks are

98
00:04:44.920 --> 00:04:47.839
<v Speaker 2>playing the Philadelphia seventy six ers on this station, and

99
00:04:47.879 --> 00:04:50.399
<v Speaker 2>they made a trade with the Philadelphia seventy six ers

100
00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:53.560
<v Speaker 2>on the day that they're playing them. It's all so weird,

101
00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:57.120
<v Speaker 2>But they have traded Quentin Grimes. I'm assuming he's not

102
00:04:57.160 --> 00:04:58.920
<v Speaker 2>going to suit up against the Mavericks here in a

103
00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:03.720
<v Speaker 2>few hours. Again, for Caleb Martin, there are similar players.

104
00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:07.519
<v Speaker 2>Grimes is a better offensive player, Caleb Martin's a more rugged,

105
00:05:07.639 --> 00:05:11.240
<v Speaker 2>tough guy defender. But Martin's been hurt for several weeks

106
00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:14.560
<v Speaker 2>and he's not ready to come back yet. So that's

107
00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:17.480
<v Speaker 2>just another little sidebar that's going on. But we will,

108
00:05:18.079 --> 00:05:20.319
<v Speaker 2>you know, basically be going till five thirty day and

109
00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:23.519
<v Speaker 2>we'll play you all some of that. Luca rob Polinka

110
00:05:23.519 --> 00:05:26.160
<v Speaker 2>press conference audio coming up here in the five o'clock hour.

111
00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:29.199

113
00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:33.839
<v Speaker 2>He says, as I drive these d DFW streets, I

114
00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:36.439
<v Speaker 2>stare into other cars and wonder if they are still

115
00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:39.439
<v Speaker 2>mulling over the devastation of Saturday nights news of Luca.

116

<v Speaker 1>It's all anybody's talking.

154
00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:05.160
<v Speaker 2>not only is that the Mavericks gave up on their

155
00:07:05.319 --> 00:07:09.720
<v Speaker 2>twenty five year old global icon superstar, it's that they

156
00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:11.959
<v Speaker 2>got a lot older. But they did get an incredible

157
00:07:11.959 --> 00:07:14.160
<v Speaker 2>player back. Anthony Davis is one of the best players

158
00:07:14.199 --> 00:07:14.800
<v Speaker 2>in basketball.

159
00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:17.120
<v Speaker 1>I think the best career of his year. He's just yeah,

160
00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:19.399
<v Speaker 1>he's having the best year of his career. He's but

161
00:07:19.560 --> 00:07:22.120
<v Speaker 1>he's he's almost six years older.

162
00:07:22.279 --> 00:07:25.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and so, and I feel so bad for Anthony

163
00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:29.920
<v Speaker 2>Davis because even if you were, like if the Easter

164
00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:32.279
<v Speaker 2>Bunny got traded for Santa Claus, who still are the

165
00:07:32.319 --> 00:07:32.959
<v Speaker 2>Easter Bunny?

166
00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:34.680
<v Speaker 1>But you're gonna get booed at Christmas.

167
00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:37.279
<v Speaker 2>Hey, it's an egg hunt. I mean, it's fine, little

168
00:07:37.319 --> 00:07:40.519
<v Speaker 2>kids like it. But you know, so Santa brings PlayStation.

169
00:07:41.120 --> 00:07:45.079
<v Speaker 2>So Anthony Davis had his press conference today, right, do

170
00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:47.399
<v Speaker 2>you have a press just shoot around? Okay, just had

171
00:07:47.399 --> 00:07:49.839
<v Speaker 2>a shoot around. So he just spoke to reporters and

172
00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:52.279
<v Speaker 2>we do need to do this. Like, I feel bad

173
00:07:52.319 --> 00:07:55.519
<v Speaker 2>for Anthony Davis. I feel like he's MAVs fans are

174
00:07:55.560 --> 00:07:57.720
<v Speaker 2>so upset right now that they're going to take it

175
00:07:57.759 --> 00:07:59.959
<v Speaker 2>out on him. He might get booed while he's playing,

176
00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:01.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, and he what's the best players on earth?

177
00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:02.240
<v Speaker 4>The team?

178
00:08:02.279 --> 00:08:03.160
<v Speaker 1>Listen, listen.

179
00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:05.160
<v Speaker 2>Nobody wants to hear this, and I'm not trying to,

180
00:08:05.439 --> 00:08:08.040
<v Speaker 2>you know, make you feel a certain way. The Mavericks

181
00:08:08.040 --> 00:08:11.800
<v Speaker 2>are a great, great team. They're a great team. Most

182
00:08:12.199 --> 00:08:15.600
<v Speaker 2>most people that don't have an emotional dog in this hunt.

183
00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:17.720
<v Speaker 2>Now look at the Mavericks that say they're either the

184
00:08:17.759 --> 00:08:19.920
<v Speaker 2>first or second best team in the West right now

185
00:08:19.959 --> 00:08:22.560
<v Speaker 2>after this trade. I've had a couple of people say, hey, man,

186
00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:24.560
<v Speaker 2>I totally think the Mavericks have a better chance of

187
00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:28.079
<v Speaker 2>winning a championship this year, right, But that doesn't I'm

188
00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:30.120
<v Speaker 2>not trying to make feels some way. I'm just saying

189
00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:34.080
<v Speaker 2>there's objective people that feel that way, whether they're right

190
00:08:34.159 --> 00:08:39.639
<v Speaker 2>or wrong. Eventually, I think eventually our emotions will fade,

191
00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:42.320
<v Speaker 2>will will grieve, will mourn, and then the reality will

192
00:08:42.320 --> 00:08:42.600
<v Speaker 2>set in.

193
00:08:42.799 --> 00:08:44.519
<v Speaker 1>Okay, what is this? What is situation?

194
00:08:44.639 --> 00:08:48.240
<v Speaker 2>The situation is, you might have the best defensive team

195
00:08:49.000 --> 00:08:49.759
<v Speaker 2>in basketball.

196
00:08:49.799 --> 00:08:50.720
<v Speaker 1>Here's what will happen.

197
00:08:51.320 --> 00:08:55.600
<v Speaker 2>You're the Mavericks will play really well, you know, your

198
00:08:55.639 --> 00:08:59.120
<v Speaker 2>emotions will die down a little bit, and then Luca

199
00:08:59.200 --> 00:09:01.279
<v Speaker 2>will come here April seventh and score eighty as the

200
00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:04.919
<v Speaker 2>Lakers played the Mavericks, and we'll cheer him on. Yeah,

201
00:09:04.960 --> 00:09:07.440
<v Speaker 2>and then the Lakers will win the season tiebreaker against

202
00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:09.080
<v Speaker 2>the Mavericks, and then they'll jump ahead of them in

203
00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:11.559
<v Speaker 2>the standing. When is that game April seventh? I think

204
00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:15.879
<v Speaker 2>I think it's a Wednesday. My uh, my daughter and

205
00:09:15.879 --> 00:09:18.120
<v Speaker 2>her boyfriend looked last night. The cheapest ticket was two

206
00:09:18.159 --> 00:09:21.080
<v Speaker 2>hundred and twenty bucks in the Upperno. Yeah, I'm going

207
00:09:21.120 --> 00:09:25.000
<v Speaker 2>to that game, you'll see. Anyways, Anthony Davis spoke today

208
00:09:25.039 --> 00:09:27.000
<v Speaker 2>at a shoot around and we thought we'd take a listen.

209
00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:30.840
<v Speaker 2>Let's go to cut number two, which is actually two cuts.

210
00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:33.399
<v Speaker 2>It is first one. We'll just do the first thoughts.

211
00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:37.440
<v Speaker 2>This is Anthony Davis's first thoughts on the trade, when I'll.

212
00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:41.799
<v Speaker 7>Get to Dallas, mass nothing. Obviously it was shocking, just

213
00:09:41.799 --> 00:09:45.279
<v Speaker 7>that I didn't know. But you know, after the shot

214
00:09:45.360 --> 00:09:48.080
<v Speaker 7>factor wore on and I know, it's get to Dallas,

215
00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:50.240
<v Speaker 7>get to the you know a physical, see the doctors,

216
00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:52.000
<v Speaker 7>and then't get ready to you know, be back to

217
00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:52.440
<v Speaker 7>get on the.

218
00:09:52.440 --> 00:09:53.799
<v Speaker 4>On the floor with these dots.

219
00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:56.320
<v Speaker 1>Does he have a Muppet voice? A little bit?

220
00:09:56.440 --> 00:09:58.360
<v Speaker 2>Let's here, let's hear his second part of this is

221
00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:00.480
<v Speaker 2>kind of answering the same thing as initial thoughts on

222
00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:01.120
<v Speaker 2>the trade.

223
00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:03.399
<v Speaker 4>I was shocked. Everyone else, Like I said, I didn't know.

224
00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:05.759
<v Speaker 7>I was actually at home about to watch a movie

225
00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:08.840
<v Speaker 7>with my wife and got the phone call.

226
00:10:08.919 --> 00:10:10.399
<v Speaker 4>So I had no idea.

227
00:10:10.480 --> 00:10:14.519
<v Speaker 7>I just sent, you know, the team chats about riolation

228
00:10:14.720 --> 00:10:16.480
<v Speaker 7>on a on the win against the Nats, big win,

229
00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:19.919
<v Speaker 7>and then you know, looking forward to Tuesday's game against

230
00:10:19.919 --> 00:10:24.120
<v Speaker 7>the Clippers to the smartest standing purposes. So they found

231
00:10:24.159 --> 00:10:26.360
<v Speaker 7>out like hour later I was no longer with the team,

232
00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:29.799
<v Speaker 7>So I was in shock. Obviously, had no idea that

233
00:10:30.120 --> 00:10:30.759
<v Speaker 7>it was happening.

234
00:10:32.559 --> 00:10:35.960
<v Speaker 4>But I mean now it's you know, I'm kind of

235
00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:37.759
<v Speaker 4>over it and just kind of you know, getting ready

236
00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:38.799
<v Speaker 4>to play with Dallas.

237
00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:42.360
<v Speaker 2>Let me just say something right quick too. And by

238
00:10:42.360 --> 00:10:44.360
<v Speaker 2>the way, I believe he was watching four and a

239
00:10:44.399 --> 00:10:47.360
<v Speaker 2>half hour stream of Alan Harper on the Sundance.

240
00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:48.639
<v Speaker 1>And app with his wife thought the same thing.

241
00:10:49.320 --> 00:10:51.360
<v Speaker 2>I want to say this, And I didn't look up

242
00:10:51.399 --> 00:10:55.399
<v Speaker 2>the exact number, but it's significant at least six, maybe

243
00:10:55.440 --> 00:11:00.399
<v Speaker 2>seven figures. Anthony Davis didn't have to do this. Heaved

244
00:11:00.679 --> 00:11:04.240
<v Speaker 2>a trade kicker in his contract so that the Mavericks

245
00:11:04.240 --> 00:11:05.120
<v Speaker 2>could then do more.

246
00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:08.360
<v Speaker 1>So as you're just wanting to I know you don't

247
00:11:08.360 --> 00:11:09.720
<v Speaker 1>want to hear anything.

248
00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:12.240
<v Speaker 2>But this guy, who's one of the best players in

249
00:11:12.279 --> 00:11:15.240
<v Speaker 2>the world said, yeah, even though it's in my contract,

250
00:11:15.480 --> 00:11:17.799
<v Speaker 2>I don't need that money. Do what you do so

251
00:11:17.840 --> 00:11:19.960
<v Speaker 2>we can go win a championship. So he saved the

252
00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:22.279
<v Speaker 2>Mavericks seven hundred thousand dollars or whatever it is, and

253
00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:25.840
<v Speaker 2>that allows them to have space to on their payroll

254
00:11:25.919 --> 00:11:28.639
<v Speaker 2>to go add other players. Yeah, they operate under what's

255
00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:31.639
<v Speaker 2>called there's luxury tax and there's tears and I don't

256
00:11:31.639 --> 00:11:33.600
<v Speaker 2>want to get into all this, but they operated at

257
00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:35.679
<v Speaker 2>a certain level after the trade to where they could

258
00:11:35.879 --> 00:11:38.600
<v Speaker 2>it would make it easier for them to make more moves.

259
00:11:38.600 --> 00:11:42.120
<v Speaker 2>It wasn't just it wasn't just, hey, Patrick Dumont saves money,

260
00:11:42.159 --> 00:11:45.039
<v Speaker 2>Like that's not about that, that mess about maneuvering. They

261
00:11:45.039 --> 00:11:48.120
<v Speaker 2>traded Quentin Grimes today for Caleb Martin. We'll get more

262
00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:51.200
<v Speaker 2>into that, but I'm glad there's another new face here,

263
00:11:51.240 --> 00:11:53.159
<v Speaker 2>and I hope they make another trade or too, he too,

264
00:11:53.240 --> 00:11:55.080
<v Speaker 2>because I don't want it all to be on Anthony

265
00:11:55.120 --> 00:11:59.559
<v Speaker 2>Davis's shoulders. Here is CUTT number three, Anthony Davis talking

266
00:11:59.559 --> 00:12:01.279
<v Speaker 2>about his relationship with Nico.

267
00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:03.879
<v Speaker 4>Nico know me, so I was in high school.

268
00:12:05.080 --> 00:12:07.240
<v Speaker 7>Obviously, you know one of the guys I got close

269
00:12:07.240 --> 00:12:10.679
<v Speaker 7>way when I signed with Niking, and they just stayed

270
00:12:10.679 --> 00:12:12.759
<v Speaker 7>close throughout the years. You know, even at this time here.

271
00:12:13.080 --> 00:12:16.720
<v Speaker 7>We remain good friends and you know, and then now

272
00:12:16.799 --> 00:12:19.399
<v Speaker 7>is you know, kind of come back full circle, you

273
00:12:19.399 --> 00:12:22.000
<v Speaker 7>know with us, you know, being a guy here in Dallas,

274
00:12:22.039 --> 00:12:24.120
<v Speaker 7>and it's gonna be fun.

275
00:12:25.120 --> 00:12:25.480
<v Speaker 4>Okay.

276
00:12:25.600 --> 00:12:27.720
<v Speaker 2>They go way way back, and this is a common

277
00:12:27.840 --> 00:12:31.679
<v Speaker 2>theme that you will find with all things Nico. Harrison

278
00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:33.480
<v Speaker 2>and Ben will tell you, like when we were doing

279
00:12:34.120 --> 00:12:36.600
<v Speaker 2>sports talk radio and stuff, it's like, well, mate, we

280
00:12:36.600 --> 00:12:38.399
<v Speaker 2>were probably on the ego by then. But I've always

281
00:12:38.399 --> 00:12:41.720
<v Speaker 2>tried to slot slip out there. Hey, guys, keep your

282
00:12:41.720 --> 00:12:44.879
<v Speaker 2>eye on Anthony Davis. He's a guy that Nico Harrison

283
00:12:45.080 --> 00:12:47.840
<v Speaker 2>very much covets and now he's here.

284
00:12:48.279 --> 00:12:48.519
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

285
00:12:49.360 --> 00:12:52.799
<v Speaker 2>Uh they Anthony Davis was asked about his first conversation

286
00:12:52.879 --> 00:12:54.000
<v Speaker 2>with Nico about all of this.

287
00:12:54.559 --> 00:12:59.320
<v Speaker 4>That was the excitement, you know, you know, Nico believes

288
00:12:59.360 --> 00:12:59.480
<v Speaker 4>in that.

289
00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:04.399
<v Speaker 7>When I answer to this team, we don't know but

290
00:13:04.440 --> 00:13:07.679
<v Speaker 7>everything that we talked about out there, but uh, we're

291
00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:09.879
<v Speaker 7>both you know, extremely excited about what we can do,

292
00:13:09.919 --> 00:13:11.360
<v Speaker 7>and you know, I think we have a great opportunity

293
00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:12.120
<v Speaker 7>in won championship.

294
00:13:12.919 --> 00:13:14.480
<v Speaker 2>I don't even know the answer to this. Did he

295
00:13:14.519 --> 00:13:17.039
<v Speaker 2>ever groom his eyebrow or does it still go straight across?

296
00:13:17.240 --> 00:13:20.360
<v Speaker 2>It's still it's still the brow. Yeah, yeah, but it's not.

297
00:13:21.000 --> 00:13:22.799
<v Speaker 2>I think it's a little bit better off. But he

298
00:13:22.840 --> 00:13:25.840
<v Speaker 2>didn't run from his identity, right, right, But it's it's

299
00:13:25.879 --> 00:13:26.799
<v Speaker 2>better taken care of.

300
00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:27.120
<v Speaker 4>I think.

301
00:13:27.200 --> 00:13:29.720
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So it's still a unibrow. It's just tweaked.

302
00:13:29.840 --> 00:13:32.679
<v Speaker 2>It's almost a unibrow, but a manicured quite a unirow

303
00:13:32.919 --> 00:13:37.440
<v Speaker 2>man cure Brown. Finally, Anthony Davis cut number five his

304
00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:39.200
<v Speaker 2>thoughts on playing with Kyrie.

305
00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:41.440
<v Speaker 7>I'm very excited. I mean, me and Kyle talked about

306
00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:45.360
<v Speaker 7>this think in twenty eighteen. You know, when I asked

307
00:13:45.399 --> 00:13:47.840
<v Speaker 7>for a trade from New Orleans, he was in Boston

308
00:13:47.879 --> 00:13:50.320
<v Speaker 7>I think at the time, and he ended up leaving.

309
00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:53.559
<v Speaker 4>One in Brooklyn. But you know, we didn't want to.

310
00:13:53.320 --> 00:13:55.200
<v Speaker 7>Play alongside each other for a very long time, and

311
00:13:55.279 --> 00:13:56.799
<v Speaker 7>now you know we got the opportunity to do something.

312
00:13:56.879 --> 00:14:00.519
<v Speaker 7>In our final game, they had thirty I'm not so

313
00:14:00.840 --> 00:14:04.480
<v Speaker 7>you know he was able to beat the game. You know,

314
00:14:04.679 --> 00:14:06.399
<v Speaker 7>we all know what the play.

315
00:14:06.240 --> 00:14:10.399
<v Speaker 4>If you had been there, you know, does it all

316
00:14:10.519 --> 00:14:11.759
<v Speaker 4>for himself?

317
00:14:13.080 --> 00:14:16.600
<v Speaker 1>Those guys both so skin I'm dying to know this.

318
00:14:17.159 --> 00:14:21.600
<v Speaker 2>Obviously, watching Luca play with Lively and Gafford so much fun.

319
00:14:21.600 --> 00:14:23.200
<v Speaker 2>He could just float the ball up at the rim.

320
00:14:23.440 --> 00:14:26.840
<v Speaker 2>Those guys such great finishers. Kai didn't do it as much.

321
00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:28.600
<v Speaker 2>He didn't have the ball in his hands quite as much,

322
00:14:28.600 --> 00:14:30.080
<v Speaker 2>and they needed him to score. He was a great

323
00:14:30.080 --> 00:14:33.639
<v Speaker 2>facilitator too. But it's he's now a quarterback of this team,

324
00:14:33.639 --> 00:14:37.279
<v Speaker 2>and so what is that going to be like watching

325
00:14:37.320 --> 00:14:39.399
<v Speaker 2>those guys play. And for those of us who love

326
00:14:39.519 --> 00:14:43.039
<v Speaker 2>watching Lively and Gafford finish at the rim, well, Anthony

327
00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:46.200
<v Speaker 2>Davis is even a level above them, right, Yeah, I

328
00:14:46.200 --> 00:14:49.120
<v Speaker 2>think Lively, you know, just because of age and size

329
00:14:49.120 --> 00:14:51.840
<v Speaker 2>and stuff, Lively is a better finisher above the rim

330
00:14:52.080 --> 00:14:54.759
<v Speaker 2>of the three. But it's all there's just varying degrees.

331
00:14:55.480 --> 00:14:55.600
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

332
00:14:56.200 --> 00:14:58.279
<v Speaker 2>Gafford gets up high. All three of them get up

333
00:14:58.320 --> 00:15:02.320
<v Speaker 2>super high and can finish. Gafford has an unbelievable back

334
00:15:02.320 --> 00:15:05.320
<v Speaker 2>to the basket game. But of those three, Anthony Davis

335
00:15:05.360 --> 00:15:08.039
<v Speaker 2>is far and away the most skilled of those three. Like,

336
00:15:08.080 --> 00:15:11.200
<v Speaker 2>you can isolate him fifteen feet from the basket and

337
00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:13.039
<v Speaker 2>he can face up and work you or back you

338
00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:15.200
<v Speaker 2>down better than those other two guys.

339
00:15:15.240 --> 00:15:17.360
<v Speaker 1>But he's also a great screener.

340
00:15:17.720 --> 00:15:19.840
<v Speaker 2>And then the other thing is like you put Kyrie

341
00:15:20.559 --> 00:15:24.200
<v Speaker 2>and Gafford and a pick and roll, for example, and

342
00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:26.759
<v Speaker 2>then have Anthony Davis crashing in from the weak side

343
00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:29.440
<v Speaker 2>as a cutter. There's just a lot of things for

344
00:15:29.559 --> 00:15:32.440
<v Speaker 2>defenses to have to think about. It's different than the

345
00:15:32.440 --> 00:15:36.399
<v Speaker 2>way it was structured before. But still Anthony Davis's Again,

346
00:15:36.480 --> 00:15:38.600
<v Speaker 2>Nico said it, and I don't disagree with him. He

347
00:15:38.720 --> 00:15:41.320
<v Speaker 2>is the best two way player in basketball. So with

348
00:15:41.399 --> 00:15:44.240
<v Speaker 2>all that action happening with Anthony Davis, is there the

349
00:15:44.360 --> 00:15:46.480
<v Speaker 2>chance people lose track of where Clay is.

350
00:15:46.679 --> 00:15:48.399
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely it's huge for Klay.

351
00:15:48.480 --> 00:15:50.240
<v Speaker 2>Is it any different than the way that they're going

352
00:15:50.320 --> 00:15:52.039
<v Speaker 2>to try to get him open with Luca? I think

353
00:15:52.080 --> 00:15:55.519
<v Speaker 2>we're going to start seeing even more movement with Clay.

354
00:15:55.559 --> 00:15:57.320
<v Speaker 2>But I you know, I'm not privy to practice. I

355
00:15:57.320 --> 00:15:58.759
<v Speaker 2>don't know what they're going to roll out, but I

356
00:15:58.799 --> 00:16:01.080
<v Speaker 2>would suspect that we would start that stuff all right.

357
00:16:01.120 --> 00:16:02.919
<v Speaker 2>Coming up at four ten, you'll have a chance to

358
00:16:02.960 --> 00:16:04.919
<v Speaker 2>weigh in on this. You can call in. We're gonna

00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:08.759

<v Speaker 2>That's at four ten two one, four, seven, eight, seven, one,
