Speaker 1: What is up, Fellasi goos, I am damn Valley coming
at you with the one the only.
Speaker 2: The certified fantabulous is probably Tanning in Hawaii as you
watch Slash.
Speaker 1: Listen to this, mister Grant, I'll maage gave away I
docked you.
Speaker 2: You know are gonna be We're gonna be hopping those
Okay good, You're gonna be one of those private resorts.
Speaker 1: That's only available to trillionaire. Absolutely. Uh. The certain five
fantabicis mister Grant Hughes.
Speaker 2: We are here gathered around the hard One House campfire
today for a bunch of stat padding. But we first
and foremost need to figure out Grant, can we survive
the Starting five Gauntlet?
Speaker 1: I'm really confident. Can I be honest, I'm very I
think we will. We will not know you know what,
we will thrive, will not survive the gauntlet.
Speaker 2: I appreciate your optimism because I haven't played this yet.
Speaker 1: This game in full, so you can go and play.
Speaker 2: It will be on screen for anyone who's watching Starting
five dot app.
Speaker 1: And so what it does is.
Speaker 2: It assigns you a random team throughout NBA history, and
you have to see if you can guess the starting
lineup from that year. I as an as just a
poor historian of the game, as someone didn't start to
really follow basketball until later on.
Speaker 1: I'm prepared for this to be a blood bath for me.
It's gonna be. It might be tough. We'll see. Let's
don't beat yourself before the game starts. You know, are
you ready? Get started? Here? Let's do it. I'm anxious
to see.
Speaker 2: What our first team is gonna be. So let's take
the gauntlet.
Speaker 1: Here we go.
Speaker 2: We gotta do five random teams. It's the MAVs, the
two three MAVs.
Speaker 1: Grant. Oh, we get numbers? That's helpful. Is this the
This isn't Delonte West? Is it? Is this a Steve Nash? No,
you knowice two oh three? Yeah, he'd be thirteen, that's Nash.
My contributions are over as far as well. You gotta
get I mean forty one sitting right there at power forward. Yeah,
you're right, Eric Dan Pierre. So we got Dirk number
seven at shooting guard. Who is that? Two? Three? Maths
is well, I don't know if he's I mean Michael Finley.
I think might be four. A small forward that feels
like Finley's number.
Speaker 2: Try Michael Finley, Yes, we're Wowkay, three out of five
is pretty good.
Speaker 1: So now this gets tough. We call it forty five
at center O two O three. What were you doing
and what was happening in your life in two thousand
and two, two thousand.
Speaker 2: And three, I was I was preparing to enter my teenage.
Well I had just been born, so I was at
the age of two, me and a fellow twenty How.
Speaker 1: Could you possibly remember? Uh? Oh, I see there there's
more information, you know what. I need to make this
screen bigger because wait, I know, I know I made
a joke, but could for No, that's too early for
Eric Dampierre, right, you know when you I think you
should try it because I don't feel like that's so
off base on all cap two. I'm excited. So are
there strike?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: We get a lot of strikes?
Speaker 2: Wait, I need I need to pick the position six
eleven age twenty six is the center. I'm sure it
would have automatically assigned it Tam Pierre.
Speaker 1: I would hope. So this is I see the problem
here is anyone that knows this. It's so obvious to them,
and we look so stupid, right, now for not knowing
who the shooting guard and center are. So the nash
I think that's this is too early for Delonte West.
But I but I'm not going to just sit here
and say don't pick him. So and also I don't
think he's six five, but say it because I don't
have a better, better option.
Speaker 2: I don't like this, I say, I automatically hate it.
So we're two strikes on the shooting guard.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think of Finley as a two. So
this this player is smaller than Finley. Oh are we
getting like letters there or is that just what's what's
seen under the jersey with all the little dashes.
Speaker 2: Number seven six five, twenty eight years old. I think
those are strikes.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, So it says he's a guard. There
we got the letter G. But then there's a bunch
of dashes. Is that like how many letters there are?
Oh that might be their name. Yeah, that's I don't know.
It's not helpful. I assume though.
Speaker 2: You're a G and though that's guard. Okay, I get
what you're saying. Yeah, I don't know how helpful it is.
Or there's a G in the middle. Oh, look, we
get hints let's click on click on the hint. We
want shooting guard, another hint either one. Let's focus on
the shooting guard starts with an A.
Speaker 1: Hmmm, it feels like an Anthony Anthony. I mean I could.
Let's just type it in and see no one fits.
What's Greg Anthony? No, they can't be it.
Speaker 2: That doesn't make any sense if there's an A at
the start of the name.
Speaker 1: Let's try the center with a hint. I'm gonna use
our hints. Man. We have a finite number right, hint
revealed for guesses left? What is the hint? I don't
even say. There's no hint revealed here. We've been duped. Uh.
I don't know why. But what about yan mahinmy that's
way too early? Yeah, two thousand and two. Yeah, there's an.
Speaker 2: L and the first name is that at L to
start the last name? Boy, what bigs did Dirk play with?
Speaker 1: This shouldn't be that hard. I know it's Oh, two
of the three is a long time ago Lafayette Lever
oh r. And then oh that's Rayfela. Friends, I'm so
embarrassed I didn't get that sooner.
Speaker 2: Okay, so we have Steve Nash Michael Finley, turk fiskey
reef of friends? Who's the shooting guard? And we guys,
then Graham? Is that a player? I think I'm making
up NBA players now.
Speaker 1: I think if we get another letter hint, we might
get it here. We might as well use all our hints.
All right, another hint? Did that work for it? I'm
not seeing tell us anything? Adrian Oh, Adrian Griffin, damn it,
I was not going to get that just off memory?
All right, all right, let's hope. So all right, tap
to continue. Who's the next team up? The Knicks? I
just sit back and just watch cook here?
Speaker 2: Okay, So wait, don't Christy Harnant was before twenty eleven?
Twelve twelve? Was that was post mellow? So Mellow is seven?
Stodamyer was the starting power forward. So we have a
Mari Stottamyer and Carmelo Anthony was Tyson Chandler. Yeah, Raymond
Felt was treated in the car. Who's number two? Andrew
Fields starting shooting guard? Look at that point guard?
Speaker 1: Watch?
Speaker 2: Why am I getting stuck on that? This isn't Jeremy Lynn?
Is he gonna be the one that comes up here?
Speaker 1: I think he's twenty one. Yeah, I don't think you
know he was seven? No, he wasn't. That was post
you said Felton, Right, it's that, that's not Felton. Wasn't
he traded for Mellow? I can't remember. I think he was,
So I'm not gonna do that. You already do that
twenty one. This is a very young point guard, twenty one.
So it's not Raymond Felt Raymond Felton a six. He's
twenty one years old. That started with It's just Mellow
and Stoudamar. It shouldn't be that hard, No, it shouldn't.
I'm just gonna put Jeremy Lynn anyway, see what happens. No, okay,
it's good to know. My god, do I need Do
I need to hint? Jeremy is not on the twenty eleven?
You say, is it not? Is Chris Duhan an option? Here?
I'm just thinking, was this.
Speaker 2: Even this was a d Tony team.
Speaker 1: And it's a lockout season because there's only sixty six
games there? Why can't I remember who the point guard was?
Who was still left? Oh? No? Is it before the
at was a Chauncey No way, dude, because this guy's
twenty one years old. Oh yeah, you needed to stop me.
There's an S in his name? Sure, that is that
at the end of the first name or beginning of
the last, beginning of the beginning of the last name.
Speaker 2: Man, these Knixt point Guards, there's been too many of them.
Speaker 1: There's been a decent number s twenty one years old.
Well let's let's think who's And they were so young
and they were starting this should have been something, Oh
my god, you this is you. Oh man, this is
gonna be really frustrating.
Speaker 2: Starts with an S. There's four letters in the first
name too, that's the other thing. So can't be Chris.
This is infuriated. Oh no, there's no no, because that's
an I was to say Tony Douglass, but no, that
doesn't fit.
Speaker 1: Okay, good man. I think if you do one more letter,
we'll get it. It's just if you want to burn
a hit. Starts with an ike. What the hell? Six
five twenty one years old. This is crazy. A four
letter first name that starts with an I. So it
can't be in Isaiah though that that was ever a
Knix Points wasn't an is is Schmith doesn't fit. No,
I wasn't on this team anyway. Oh my god, who
is this? I can't even think of six five, twenty
one years old? I should know this. This is awful.
This team for this year frustrated the hell out of
me too. I mean, I don't know. I would just go.
He's twenty one years old, he's starting for this team?
Is it? What? What the four letter words starts with? Like?
I have no idea? Oh man, I can already tell
how mad I'm gonna be. We might need to. We
only have two guesses left, so we would use another hint. Well,
I don't have a good get. I don't have any idea.
I think you might as well. I hate this. No
more hints. Oh that's that's ridiculous. We got a higher
score than the last one, though, that's all I'm matter.
We can definitely still do better. I'm I don't feel
like you get to call him on Schumpert a point guard?
Am I misremembering that? Well? I mean I guess functionally though,
was he not? I don't know. I just never have
thought of him as like a primary initiator.
Speaker 2: The next team up, the Boston Celtics seventy. Oh boy, this.
Speaker 1: Is okay, so Dan, This is pre Larry Bird, pre
post Bill Russell, pre Bill Walts. So I'm gonna I'm
gonna have to say there's probably a Jones on here.
I don't know if it's Sam or case. Uh nope. Well,
I also couldn't tell you it's what position that would
belong at. I don't think it's point guard. We might
get absolutely shut out here, like Dennis Johnson. Pro is
this Robert Parrish? Or is that to try it? I don't.
I think he was double zero. He's also twenty seven already,
So this guy, you don't waste it? Uh? How's about
John halcheck for small forward? There? Let's see it feels
too old? What just happened? They said, you guys are idiots?
You quit? Let's zero? Did I quit on accident? Now?
Can we see you only have we only have ten
minutes for the entire thing? Oh now I want to
know who that was? Though? Is there a way to
look at it? Jojo for the record, it was going
to be a John Halichack. We would have gotten we
would have gotten Dave Cowens. I think maybe so. I
made it through two teams in the first batch. I
didn't realize there was a time crunch. What is up Fellasikos.
Speaker 2: You're listening to this episode right now thinking wow, it

Speaker 2: Yeah, I've never played this before, so this has been
learning in real time. Let's restart this again. First team up? Okay, Oh,
The New York Nicks of twenty fourteen twenty fifth. This
is going to be embarrassing for me. Okay, Carmela, that's
going to be Marberry?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 2: No, not not in twenty fourteen, twenty fifteen. No, I
think Barnianni might be on this deep No, well that
wasn't him, but this Barnianni was what that could be?
Speaker 1: Bargs Yeah, number fourteen? Okay, no, this is getting bad
all right? Well? Is two oh boy six one and sixty.
Speaker 2: Three twenty fourteen twenty fifteen Knicks not a good team?
Speaker 1: No? What was the really good year? Was that? Twelve thirteen?
Twelve thirteen?
Speaker 2: So this is two years after, which means Barnianni was
off the team.
Speaker 1: So I was misremembering there? Uh who was there? This
wasn't the joke? Kiem noah year was it? No? That's
too early?
Speaker 2: Hmmm, Wilson Chandler was off the team. He was number
twenty one twenty fourteen to fifteen Knicks. Such a non
descriptive team.
Speaker 1: That's right? Was coaching?
Speaker 2: Oh no, none of these numbers are KP because is
he was the draft year after this?
Speaker 1: That's right? He was the twenty fifteen draft. Why do
I keep wanting to say Chris Douhan was Chris Douhan
ever a nick or am I just thinking? I know
he was? I just think this is like way too
way too early.
Speaker 2: Number three is sticking out as a point Wait, do
we was a mon shumpard Ever?
Speaker 1: Number two was, well, but this guy's it can't be
him because that player is six foot one. The shooting
Oh yeah, I'm not looking at the heights.
Speaker 2: Why was the shooting The shooting guard was shorter than
the point guard who was six to three.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's twenty fifteen.
Speaker 2: Man, Oh was this that Al Harrington team? No, because
that's pretty that's too early. Twenty fourteen, twenty fifteen. Who
did Mellow play with?
Speaker 1: And it was?
Speaker 2: It was this is post the old team.
Speaker 1: Wilson Chandler's definitely gone. Yeah, he's gone. He was gone
in the Mellow trade. This is tough.
Speaker 2: Seven foot center was number fourteen at the age of
twenty eight. This is not we might I think we
need to hint somewhere.
Speaker 1: I think we definitely need to hint.
Speaker 2: Oh God, that what G in the last name. That
was a terrible hint for the shooting guard.
Speaker 1: Twenty three years old too, a six undersized shooting guard.
G is the first letter of the last name. He's young. Uh,
it's not Gordon geiricek So we can rule it. If
you were thinking that Dan, it's not him, we can
rule him out.
Speaker 2: That's rough stuff, I feel. What's the one we're stuck
on them? If you think I should we should know
the point guard.
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's let's take a hint on that one. He's
thirty three with an oh accent in there.
Speaker 2: Oh no, that can't be him. Yeah, there's the O
with the accent in the middle of the name.
Speaker 1: What does this person have? One name? Is this? Where's
the first and last name? Slots? This wasn't the Jose
calder On year, was it? I mean, that wouldn't get it?
Twenty It says, is the twenty three or thirty three
years old? Thirty three Calderon? Wait is this? That's not
the Prigoni year, is it? No? That wouldn't be twenty three.
How many of you guys have the accent on the Oh?
They could? I think calderone fits the the spelling. All right,
we got the starting point guardists awful? This is so recent.
Why isn't this easier? The shooting guards really bother me
because we have the letter first letter of the last name, Like,
what I mean? Is this Adrian Griffin again? Somehow he's
daged ten years?
Speaker 2: Who is the center for this team? My god, Nick Centers,
this franchise is so awful.
Speaker 1: We're gonna burn up our whole ten minutes on this
one team. Yeah, this is not gonna go. Well, we
got to a five. Just give just hang out some
hints we need. We need hints clearly, which way I
pick a position? Shooting guard? Do it? I'm shooting guards?
Really bothering me? Let's get another hint on shooting guard
if it doesn't help us, Grant, I hate you. It's
an I and a G. Is it an L? I
think it's an l?
Speaker 2: Oh Langston Galloway, good job there it is? Look at you,
bang Galloway. I'm just gonna is that al Hanrington wasn't
number twenty one right?
Speaker 1: There can't be Nope, that was wrong? My bad twenty
one power forward post Amari? Who is there for post Bargs?
He's old, thirty two years old. That's old.
Speaker 2: This team twenty twenty eight year old for a center.
This front court is a disaster.
Speaker 1: Not good. Joe KiB Noah's not there yet, is he?
Speaker 2: I don't think so, because the summer to that sixteen
was bonkers, and they signed him the summer after that.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's him too early. They didn't have
Todd Gibson yet. Let's let's burn up some hints. We're
gonna have to. Let's use center a power forward center,
since you're on it already. That's not helped. Didn't help
me that much.
Speaker 2: Well, the last last name agains with an S.
Speaker 1: Smith s Am, I is there a Smith anywhere in
your center brain? For the Knicks? Uh? Could j R? Smith?
Yeaut Otherwise it's gotta be more Smith's than the pull
down menu shows. Let's just you have to burn another
hint starts with which with all these? Is that I?
Or is that a j Oh? I want to zoom
all the way in?
Speaker 2: I don't know of the user interface is tough to
read that j I'm not one of the first ones
that are coming up. James. Is that fit JMS? Yeah, James?
Speaker 1: Who is the forward out of Arizona? That could like
maybe shoot he played for the Knicks the Lake Chairs
probably like Jordan. That's I guess I can't be him.
That would be more. Nevermind that you're taking out of
the hint. Yeah, do it? What did that to give us?
Jason Smith? God darn it, God, this year was such
a disaster. This is a bad team.
Speaker 2: Oh man number twenty one, power forward, age thirty two, six'.
Speaker 1: Nine we have no more? Hints? Right or do we
have one more? HINT i think you gotta use. It
we're just drawing dead here starts with an A hm

we're not good at. It though so so. There's that.

Singular statue i'm sufficiently humbled. After that so you're catching
me at a great. Time, Competitively okay i'm.
Speaker 1: Gonna save don't want to save the best? For last,
Or yeah i'm. Gonna save there's a trash talking.
Speaker 2: Element one i'm gonna give you the money, element one
since that's, More, topical. Okay GRANT eight nba players are
currently on or have signed contracts that were worth more
than two hundred and fifty million dollars at the time of.
Their signature so this means that these players who might
have more than that left on, their deal but they've
signed extensions to get there that weren't all worth it
would not. Be included how many of these eight players
on two hundred and fifty million. Plus contracts can? You
name i'll give you, three strikes?
Speaker 1: All? Right so, uh so, For Example donovan mitchell just
signed a two hundred and seventy whatever million? Dollar extensions is?
That kid? That's? One, yeah okay that's one and so? It,
Okay Uh jason tatum that you got two? Six LEFT
so i don't need there to be two hundred and
fifty million left on. The deal it's when they. Signed
it it's.
Speaker 2: Worth Over so tatum's when he signed it was worth
three hundred team. Point, Nine Yeah, devin booker that. Is incorrect,
oh shit strike one.
Speaker 1: O because he's got. The, extensions okay this should not be. That,
Hard Well so wemby has got just over two, fifty,
right yep that's three. Five, Left Uh, kate cunningham there,
you go that's four. Halfway there we gotta have living.
On hour paolo's.
Speaker 2: In there he Is not oh why strike? In there

sure i'm missing. Somebody. OBVIOUS uh I Think anthony edwards
is too early to have gotten. That much he's on The. Fun,
max yeah so we need second, contract guys but it's
got to Be post kaid draft class or big. Time
rookie there's got to be like. A veteran you're saying
a lot of smart things right now now that the

Speaker 2: I, Will Say i'm i'm surprised you haven't gotten one of. These, players,
well no It's Not. Steph, curry, Okay good i'm not

i haven't gotten one of, These Players, tyres haliburton that.
Is incorrect he was at two hundred and forty four
point six million at least. Strike Three the choos did
Not Get jaalen brown two hundred and eighty five point
four million dollar Tracked And nicole jokic two hundred and
seventy six.
Speaker 1: Point one million. Dollar contract, All right i'm satisfied with.
That performance it was a lot better than our performance
on the starting. Five Call and i'll tell you. That
much it's hard to, be, Worse.
Speaker 2: Okay GRANT ten nba players are going to be making
more than fifty five million dollars this coming season twenty,
twenty six. Twenty seven how many of them can? YOU
