00;01;00;18 - 00;01;02;14

Now listen, nah the button messed up.

00;01;02;14 - 00;01;05;01

I got to get it right.: 2022

00;01;05;20 - 00;01;07;29

We ain't

we ain't off to a good start, man.

00;01;08;00 - 00;01;09;10

Like, that's a great start.

00;01;09;10 - 00;01;11;03

No, I'm just talking about you

and the button messed up...

00;01;11;03 - 00;01;11;17

That's good.

00;01;11;17 - 00;01;12;07

That's why.

00;01;12;07 - 00;01;15;13

Oh, no, no.

00;01;15;13 - 00;01;16;29

Let's go.

00;01;16;29 - 00;01;18;03

That's a lot better.

00;01;18;03 - 00;01;18;15

Nice.

00;01;18;15 - 00;01;21;10

Like the first practice

where you guys run it out.

00;01;21;11 - 00;01;23;23

I'm here. I'm feeling good, man.

00;01;24;08 - 00;01;27;22

You know, vitamin

C in my in my glass over here.

00;01;27;22 - 00;01;28;27

I'm feeling good.

00;01;28;27 - 00;01;30;19

Raspberry flavor.

00;01;30;19 - 00;01;32;11

You know, I was wondering what that was.

00;01;32;11 - 00;01;33;22

What you mean you were

wondering what it was

00;01;33;22 - 00;01;35;26

I was wondering why I was red color like,

00;01;37;09 - 00;01;38;14

you know, everybody else.

00;01;38;14 - 00;01;41;15

In the UAE we put electrolytes in

our stuff is like a,

00;01;41;17 - 00;01;45;06

you know, like a yellowish color

or red is its flavor.

00;01;45;08 - 00;01;47;14

But you always got to have some flair

with your stuff, though

00;01;47;20 - 00;01;49;22

I'm saying I don't want to juice

drink lemon.

00;01;49;22 - 00;01;50;23

No, but that's just you.

00;01;50;23 - 00;01;52;20

That's just you. You know.......

what you gettin at?

00;01;52;20 - 00;01;55;23

So, you know, you always got to have

a little extra flair.

00;01;55;24 - 00;01;57;00

You always been that way.

00;01;57;00 - 00;01;57;16

And that's cool.

00;01;57;16 - 00;01;59;26

That's that's, you know, interesting.

00;02;00;06 - 00;02;05;08

And says the guy this man made me wear

pink socks were a hard sell in

00;02;05;20 - 00;02;06;13

high school.

00;02;06;13 - 00;02;10;04

The thing, you know, kind of

give me a regular pair of pink

00;02;10;04 - 00;02;12;06

socks like everybody else he had had.

00;02;12;06 - 00;02;13;23

So let me, let me. That was a good call.

00;02;13;23 - 00;02;16;02

Let me elaborate on that

a little bit for everybody.

00;02;16;02 - 00;02;18;29

That's because my aunt was a breast

00;02;18;29 - 00;02;22;25

cancer survivor and we were doing it

Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

00;02;22;27 - 00;02;24;02

And so that's why we were doing it.

00;02;24;02 - 00;02;25;06

So, you know,

00;02;25;06 - 00;02;28;16

you want to make fun of that man

and you're ashamed to wear that and all.

00;02;28;17 - 00;02;30;20

And I mean, he had the pink sock.

00;02;31;02 - 00;02;34;01

They had the regular ones,

but mine had to have the hearts

00;02;34;01 - 00;02;36;29

in the fairies and stuff,

and it was cool to rock them.

00;02;37;01 - 00;02;39;06

You know,

we pride had a big game in them, too.

00;02;39;12 - 00;02;40;15

Yeah, know.

00;02;40;15 - 00;02;43;27

But I'm the one about

the flower is planting the seeds, man.

00;02;44;01 - 00;02;47;13

Come on, man, you're probably late

for practice or something like that.

00;02;47;16 - 00;02;48;02

Come on, man.

00;02;48;02 - 00;02;51;11

Big Nation. Yes. What's up, man?

00;02;51;22 - 00;02;55;14

We got enough people who support us to

where we can actually

00;02;55;14 - 00;02;59;13

give our community

a name, you know, shout out to BTG Nation.

00;02;59;13 - 00;03;04;08

Big, big, big shout out to Willie. Ways

00;03;05;12 - 00;03;05;27

that you

00;03;05;27 - 00;03;09;03

guys heard the new intro man came through.

00;03;09;03 - 00;03;10;13

Big for us.

00;03;10;13 - 00;03;12;09

That was something that was unexpected.

00;03;12;09 - 00;03;15;09

But you know, that's

what had much appreciated, man.

00;03;15;10 - 00;03;17;09

That's what happens when you come together

00;03;17;09 - 00;03;21;04

and you start to put something together

that people start to feel was

00;03;21;04 - 00;03;24;08

ironic is this is somebody that I've known

since high school. So

00;03;25;17 - 00;03;27;10

bring it back full circle.

00;03;27;10 - 00;03;29;25

He's an artist. He's a rapper.

00;03;29;25 - 00;03;32;15

He's in Australia right now, actually,

which is crazy.

00;03;33;03 - 00;03;36;02

He reached out and he was like, Oh,

this link, let's do something together.

00;03;36;02 - 00;03;37;07

What's he doing in Australia?

00;03;37;07 - 00;03;38;05

Rapping,

00;03;38;05 - 00;03;41;21

like doing various different things was

dope is we'll have him on the show.

00;03;41;21 - 00;03;43;24

The next episode, OK,

so we can sit and talk.

00;03;43;24 - 00;03;46;02

We have hip hop debate.

00;03;46;02 - 00;03;48;05

That's one thing

we haven't jumped into yet.

00;03;48;06 - 00;03;51;18

We haven't gotten into the culture

part of us.

00;03;51;29 - 00;03;55;10

We've been taking the guest sports wise

and now a little bit personal,

00;03;55;10 - 00;03;59;09

but you guys are going to see

the full package almost a work coach

00;03;59;09 - 00;04;03;26

and I can jump into and Waze

would be the perfect person to kick us off

00;04;03;26 - 00;04;07;00

when we start talking about hip hop,

especially the generational gaps.

00;04;07;00 - 00;04;12;07

But you like it and you know,

I know already I like it and know what.

00;04;13;11 - 00;04;15;16

We got

the new intro and everything is dope.

00;04;16;04 - 00;04;18;17

But no disrespect to your little brother

James

00;04;18;17 - 00;04;21;25

and like James and came through

is a fire that I didn't know he had.

00;04;22;08 - 00;04;24;00

So, you know, this is putting

a little pressure on you, Jamelle.

00;04;24;00 - 00;04;26;02

You need to come back with something

else, baby.

00;04;26;11 - 00;04;29;09

And listen, so

00;04;29;09 - 00;04;30;28

BTG is expanding.

00;04;30;28 - 00;04;35;15

You know, BTG media is the platform.

00;04;35;20 - 00;04;38;18

So you guys seen the new intros as BTC

00;04;38;18 - 00;04;41;23

media presents bridging the Gap podcast.

00;04;41;26 - 00;04;43;13

That's because there's more coming.

00;04;43;13 - 00;04;45;05

There's more coming.

00;04;45;05 - 00;04;46;19

We're building a team.

00;04;46;19 - 00;04;49;00

I got a team around me now.

00;04;49;00 - 00;04;52;26

I got some gangsters around me

that we're going to have a team around me.

00;04;52;29 - 00;04;55;03

Yeah, around him. Yeah.

00;04;55;04 - 00;04;57;12

Everything evolves around

you. We're all wrong.

00;04;57;14 - 00;04;58;28

No, that's the way

you just put it, though.

00;04;58;28 - 00;05;02;03

If people didn't know that's

what they would do, there was no listen.

00;05;02;03 - 00;05;04;21

I had a vision.

I knew I couldn't do by myself.

00;05;04;23 - 00;05;05;20

And then I was like,

00;05;05;20 - 00;05;09;14

You know, coming from basketball,

you need people to do some things

00;05;09;22 - 00;05;12;18

and I can help them

do some things with himself.

00;05;12;18 - 00;05;16;14

So basically, when you get when you get to

a certain level, you just cast me aside.

00;05;16;23 - 00;05;17;19

Now listen,

00;05;17;19 - 00;05;21;14

I'm trying to make you get passive income

and we're going to put it together.

00;05;21;14 - 00;05;23;20

Well, that's that's from all the work,

00;07;06;04 - 00;07;08;05

the hard work that we put in

to set things up.

00;07;08;23 - 00;07;11;23

And you know, the old saying

00;07;16;02 - 00;07;17;18

Did you get a chance to relax?

00;07;17;18 - 00;07;21;08

You know,

we always so as we touch off the plane,

00;07;21;08 - 00;07;24;02

if we go home for the summer

when we get back is almost like, work

00;07;24;02 - 00;07;28;14

nonstop until, you know, December ninth

or whenever outbreak is.

00;07;28;14 - 00;07;29;18

If you have some time to relax.

00;07;29;18 - 00;07;31;26

Yeah, I had a chance.

I had some family come over.

00;07;31;26 - 00;07;34;14

I had a significant other

come over and my better half,

00;07;34;14 - 00;07;38;05

and we got a chance to tour

the UAE and relax a little bit.

00;07;38;08 - 00;07;40;23

You know, you got it.

You got to tell people. So coach.

00;07;41;01 - 00;07;42;11

Yeah, I don't know, coach guy.

00;07;42;11 - 00;07;45;00

Like, I don't know what it is about him.

He likes thrills.

00;07;45;00 - 00;07;46;14

He do crazy stuff.

00;07;46;14 - 00;07;48;06

I'm telling like, wow, stuff.

00;07;48;06 - 00;07;49;16

But so let's get people.

00;07;49;16 - 00;07;51;16

Would you like to

do in your excursions, man?

00;07;53;02 - 00;07;55;12

It's exciting, though, this is exciting,

it's dope.

00;07;55;17 - 00;07;56;18

It's not exciting,

00;07;56;18 - 00;08;00;02

is what normal people do is, you know,

you do something out of your comfort zone,

00;08;00;02 - 00;08;03;16

sometimes nothing more

than, you know, jet skiing, boating,

00;08;03;25 - 00;08;07;12

you know, zip lines, you know, certain

things like that, you know, motor biking,

00;08;07;12 - 00;08;09;17

you know, whatever. But nothing,

nothing crazy.

00;08;09;17 - 00;08;10;28

But I will say this.

00;08;10;28 - 00;08;13;01

I did have an opportunity to go to

00;08;14;06 - 00;08;17;07

whizzing past rack for jumbo

00;08;17;17 - 00;08;20;25

jet Blue Jays or something like

that is the world's longest zip line. Yes.

00;08;21;04 - 00;08;23;06

And I had a chance to go there.

00;08;23;06 - 00;08;25;27

You know,

I had to fill out the waiver forms

00;08;26;03 - 00;08;29;00

secretly for my c,

for my significant other whatever.

00;08;29;09 - 00;08;30;15

And we get there, man.

00;08;30;15 - 00;08;32;20

And the joint is

00;08;32;20 - 00;08;35;13

I never been up this high before,

except when I was in Switzerland.

00;08;35;13 - 00;08;37;16

But we get there.

00;08;37;16 - 00;08;40;05

Many strap me in and everything,

and I'm cool.

00;08;40;14 - 00;08;41;24

I'm cool, you know?

00;08;41;24 - 00;08;43;28

But there's a weight limit, you know?

00;08;44;20 - 00;08;47;01

And so

I just barely make the weight limit.

00;08;47;04 - 00;08;50;05

You know, I've been stressed a little bit

and working out as much donuts.

00;08;50;13 - 00;08;51;08

Shut up.

00;08;51;17 - 00;08;53;26

That's

that's always been a part of my duties.

00;08;54;06 - 00;08;57;27

So we get there

and get ready to strap me in.

00;08;58;15 - 00;08;59;28

Yeah, I'm looking at my significant other.

00;08;59;28 - 00;09;02;13

She's already

in there. She's like vertical

00;09;04;02 - 00;09;05;08

vertical.

00;09;05;08 - 00;09;08;23

And so they try to do this job

me and lift me up.

00;09;08;23 - 00;09;10;03

But I'm so heavy.

00;09;10;03 - 00;09;12;03

He can't do me by himself, right?

00;09;12;04 - 00;09;15;14

So he got to call his manager

over the other dudes.

00;09;15;14 - 00;09;17;08

I'm embarrassed, you know I'm saying.

00;09;17;08 - 00;09;20;19

So they lifted me up,

and when they lift me a vertical,

00;09;21;01 - 00;09;24;29

all my weight came forward in my chin

strap almost jangle myself.

00;09;24;29 - 00;09;26;12

You know they had you.

00;09;26;12 - 00;09;28;01

They had you laid out like Superman.

00;09;28;01 - 00;09;30;22

Well, you know

you got your hands behind your back.

00;09;30;24 - 00;09;32;14

Oh yeah, hold the strap right?

00;09;32;14 - 00;09;35;22

Because if you get your your arms

looks like that, you could break something

00;09;36;00 - 00;09;38;24

like 70 miles per hour or so.

00;09;39;04 - 00;09;42;01

They give me up like this

and I'm head first.

00;09;42;12 - 00;09;45;05

So hold on. Hold on, hold on, man.

00;09;45;10 - 00;09;47;14

I'm head first. That's what I'm saying.

00;09;47;14 - 00;09;49;22

Yeah. Hola.

00;09;49;22 - 00;09;50;22

What? Yeah.

00;09;50;22 - 00;09;52;22

So I'm OK with that because, you know,

I don't mind

00;09;53;14 - 00;09;55;23

once I decided I'm going to do it,

but I think I'm going to.

00;09;55;25 - 00;09;58;18

I'm going to jump out

of a plane one day. But then.

00;09;59;26 - 00;10;00;20

Well, all my weight

00;10;00;20 - 00;10;03;06

comes forward

because they take so long to get me ready.

00;10;03;27 - 00;10;07;00

All that stuff comes around my chinstrap

and I start feeling uncomfortable.

00;10;07;07 - 00;10;11;26

Anybody that knows me, you know me from

the movies movie we we go watch that time.

00;10;11;26 - 00;10;14;03

I think it was bad boys for life.

There was life.

00;10;14;04 - 00;10;15;19

I got up and walked out that joint.

00;10;15;19 - 00;10;17;18

Like, if I'm uncomfortable, I don't.

00;10;17;18 - 00;10;20;15

I don't do it. So.

00;10;20;15 - 00;10;24;04

I was like, Yo, can you lose my chinstrap

a little bit and so do

00;10;24;05 - 00;10;25;08

kind of like, brush me off.

00;10;25;08 - 00;10;27;09

You'll be all right. No, I won't.

00;10;27;09 - 00;10;30;09

If you're losing my chinstrap

and I go on the other side,

00;10;30;09 - 00;10;32;09

and so I'm happy, I'm

come back up the mountain.

00;10;32;09 - 00;10;33;16

No, I'm saying so.

00;10;33;16 - 00;10;37;00

So I start saying,

Yo, give me a second, you know?

00;10;37;01 - 00;10;38;28

And so we were the first two.

00;10;38;28 - 00;10;42;24

And so like, you know, six people behind

us, I said, I need a minute.

00;10;43;04 - 00;10;46;06

Saying, because I don't feel comfortable,

I got all this weight on my throat,

00;10;46;11 - 00;10;48;20

all my shoulders.

I said, We gotta do something else.

00;10;48;20 - 00;10;51;14

Y'all took too long, whatever,

and it basically was like, you too heavy.

00;10;52;04 - 00;10;55;14

And so I said,

All right, I'm gonna get out and I'll be.

00;10;55;14 - 00;10;56;11

I'll be the last one.

00;10;56;11 - 00;10;59;17

So the policy is,

if you get out, that's a wrap.

00;10;59;19 - 00;11;01;10

Yes, you got to

pay for a new and honestly.

00;11;02;12 - 00;11;03;18

But as soon as I started,

00;11;03;18 - 00;11;05;22

you know, just take me out, it was like,

Nah, you got it, you got this.

00;11;05;22 - 00;11;08;04

I said, Nah, listen, I know me.

00;11;09;00 - 00;11;10;18

Take me out.

00;11;10;18 - 00;11;12;29

As soon as they start

00;11;13;05 - 00;11;15;13

buckling me or whatever

my significant other,

00;11;15;16 - 00;11;18;15

they work and they were,

she was gone so well.

00;11;18;17 - 00;11;20;18

They pushed her

like he was going to crash.

00;11;20;18 - 00;11;21;10

So, you know, I mean,

00;11;21;10 - 00;11;25;03

so I had to hit at the rest of the way

home on the way down to the mountain.

00;11;25;03 - 00;11;28;02

You know, like I went by myself,

you sign me up with all this stuff,

00;11;28;02 - 00;11;31;00

but I said, yes,

I yeah, I'd never do it again.

00;11;31;00 - 00;11;32;06

But it was I

00;11;32;23 - 00;11;37;17

so so my plan is before I go home

in the summer, I have trimmed down.

00;11;37;17 - 00;11;39;04

Can we sign to play twice a week?

00;11;39;04 - 00;11;41;16

Make sure you shot that out

before we get off

00;11;41;16 - 00;11;46;01

and I trim down to my normal weight

and I'm I'm gonna get that.

00;11;46;01 - 00;11;48;08

You know,

I love that it's killing me right now.

00;11;48;09 - 00;11;49;12

I know that I didn't do it.

00;11;49;12 - 00;11;51;16

I know, I know. I chickened out, man.

00;11;51;16 - 00;11;52;16

No, no, no.

00;11;52;16 - 00;11;55;01

That's love

you. Protect yourself, man. Good

00;11;56;29 - 00;11;59;21

man. I

had nothing that exciting over break.

00;12;00;08 - 00;12;05;07

You know, I got, I got, we got married,

so we had to figure some things

00;12;05;07 - 00;12;08;12

that we wanted to take a little honeymoon

trip and get out of the country.

00;12;08;13 - 00;12;11;25

But Omarion, I mean, omni crime

00;12;12;01 - 00;12;15;20

variant was rabbit,

and you just gave like to new name.

00;12;16;24 - 00;12;18;16

I'm a crime man. Come on.

00;12;18;16 - 00;12;20;16

I don't think I'm a crime man.

00;12;20;16 - 00;12;22;24

It's a transformer where God is right.

00;12;23;02 - 00;12;27;20

So it popped up and I was like,

Look, you know, we business owner.

00;12;27;20 - 00;12;30;18

So we can't look at everything

like most people like employees.

00;12;30;18 - 00;12;33;25

I was like, Look, if I get sick and catch

something from, you know,

00;12;33;25 - 00;12;38;00

whatever's going off on a little trip,

we now we now have it.

00;12;38;01 - 00;12;39;28

Yeah, and then I can't really enjoy it.

00;12;39;28 - 00;12;41;23

I'm like, Let's do some other things.

00;12;41;23 - 00;12;43;04

So we chill.

00;12;43;04 - 00;12;48;22

We went and we did a little bit

of searching around the UAE, which the UAE

00;12;48;22 - 00;12;52;01

has more than enough for us to go find

because we haven't had time.

00;12;52;01 - 00;12;54;14

So we went to

this one place called Rain Room,

00;12;54;24 - 00;12;58;08

which was dope, is like,

is it rains, right?

00;12;58;08 - 00;12;59;02

And then as you,

00;12;59;02 - 00;13;02;21

you can walk through the rain

and wherever you stop at the water stops.

00;13;02;25 - 00;13;06;26

All the water around you keeps going,

but one person enters that at all.

00;13;06;26 - 00;13;09;27

It doesn't matter because you got to walk

at a certain pace, but

00;13;09;27 - 00;13;13;08

once you stop, the water stops,

but all the water around you goes.

00;13;14;03 - 00;13;15;13

So that was though that was cool.

00;13;15;13 - 00;13;18;03

Cool pictures. We want to see someone

00;13;19;07 - 00;13;20;03

who's like an Islamic

00;13;20;03 - 00;13;23;14

art festival that was around there, too,

so they had some museums and things.

00;13;23;26 - 00;13;25;23

So it was Adobe. It was in Sharjah, too.

00;13;25;23 - 00;13;27;25

So you got to see, I got it.

I got to check that out.

00;13;27;25 - 00;13;28;16

I saw the pictures.

00;13;28;16 - 00;13;30;19

Yeah, you know, I was like,

You know, needs

00;13;31;07 - 00;13;33;00

Yates is always doing something real.

00;13;33;00 - 00;13;34;11

Try me look real cinematic.

00;13;34;11 - 00;13;36;14

So I thought you just paid

somebody to do that.

00;13;36;15 - 00;13;38;25

So I got to go check that out. Any,

00;13;38;25 - 00;13;41;18

any videos I know people have seen

it at home is like,

00;13;41;18 - 00;13;45;15

Damn right, is so active on social media

and everything.

00;13;45;20 - 00;13;48;29

Listen, any pictures

you see up or any video

00;13;49;06 - 00;13;52;24

my wife and took it, or now,

OK, I'll have it up,

00;13;52;24 - 00;13;55;25

and they kind of forcing my hand like,

Oh, you got to content?

00;13;55;25 - 00;13;57;29

I'm like, Oh, okay, yeah,

they they tell me that

00;13;57;29 - 00;14;03;11

you gotta do this, and I'm like,

OK, well, OK, OK, OK, OK, yeah.

00;14;03;11 - 00;14;05;21

Is that a song like a song?

00;14;05;21 - 00;14;07;27

Like,

if you see it up and is fire, it ain't.

00;14;07;27 - 00;14;09;01

It ain't my doing is either.

00;14;09;01 - 00;14;10;11

My wife was AK.

00;14;10;11 - 00;14;12;13

What you know, I'm glad you recognize.

00;14;13;02 - 00;14;14;08

That's love, that's love.

00;14;14;08 - 00;14;15;03

But it's dope.

00;14;15;03 - 00;14;18;12

I'm excited, too,

because you know how it's like.

00;14;18;12 - 00;14;20;28

The preseason is always important

in basketball, right?

00;14;21;08 - 00;14;24;01

Like, once you come back

that versus the general sports

00;14;24;02 - 00;14;26;08

practices are important,

so you can set the foundation

00;14;26;18 - 00;14;29;09

because by the time you get the march

and it's playoff times,

00;14;29;16 - 00;14;30;17

you should be rolling.

00;14;30;17 - 00;14;32;20

Yeah, right.

And that's kind of where we are right now.

00;14;32;29 - 00;14;34;02

We set things up.

00;14;34;02 - 00;14;37;04

Things are rolling podcast

new opportunities, coming

00;14;37;24 - 00;14;41;08

business, new opportunities, new partners,

kids are enjoying themselves.

00;14;41;08 - 00;14;43;13

It's growing, parents are looking out.

00;14;43;13 - 00;14;46;08

So right now,

you know, like a well-oiled machine.

00;14;46;18 - 00;14;48;19

We just picked it up and moving forward.

00;14;48;19 - 00;14;50;19

So that's love.

00;14;50;19 - 00;14;52;24

Any new, any goals you guys set right now?

00;14;52;24 - 00;14;54;25

Are you still filling them out? Yeah,

00;14;56;07 - 00;14;56;15

I'm going

00;14;56;15 - 00;14;59;21

to make sure that in: 2022

I really, really

00;15;00;10 - 00;15;02;13

watch my language.

00;15;10;01 - 00;15;12;29

Yeah, 16 years, almost maybe longer.

00;15;13;01 - 00;15;17;02

You probably had that for like every year,

you would say the same day you said it

00;15;17;03 - 00;15;17;20

last year.

00;15;17;20 - 00;15;19;20

Well, in fact, too, I know for sure.

00;15;20;19 - 00;15;22;00

So are you going to clown me for trying?

00;15;22;00 - 00;15;25;28

Listen, you always tell the kids,

you know what I'm saying,

00;15;25;28 - 00;15;30;25

if you continue to do the same thing

and you get the same result the same way?

00;15;31;01 - 00;15;33;02

You got to be a little insane.

00;15;33;02 - 00;15;34;08

Yeah, maybe a little insane.

00;15;34;08 - 00;15;34;26

Yeah, it's such that.

00;15;34;26 - 00;15;37;22

No, that means you just put the fourth

110% effort.

00;15;37;22 - 00;15;38;17

That's what you're doing.

00;15;38;17 - 00;15;40;28

Like,

come on, man situation a little different.

00;15;41;00 - 00;15;44;01

No, I got

I got stress from all sides coming.

00;15;44;01 - 00;15;46;02

No, that's a lot of factors in my life.

00;15;46;02 - 00;15;49;16

You got you got a lot of stress you got

because we don't we don't make you.

00;15;49;20 - 00;15;51;14

Got to vent and let that stuff out of me.

00;15;51;14 - 00;15;54;20

You know, I'm saying those things,

you know, never know what they can turn

00;15;54;20 - 00;15;58;23

into, you know, be a good movie

or something, but it's dope.

00;15;58;25 - 00;15;59;27

I'm glad we got here.

00;16;01;13 - 00;16;03;24

Shout out to

00;16;03;24 - 00;16;07;17

all of our youngins

and who found Dubai in our family.

00;16;07;17 - 00;16;10;12

As always, you guys keep us pushing.

00;16;10;12 - 00;16;11;21

Keep us rolling.

00;16;11;21 - 00;16;14;26

Thank you for the support,

especially in the midst of calls it

00;16;15;06 - 00;16;16;27

like even to start this year.

00;16;16;27 - 00;16;21;09

I don't know how we've been managing it

the way we have been, but we've been able

00;16;21;09 - 00;16;25;21

to, you know, skate through

without too many big hiccups

00;16;25;21 - 00;16;28;02

and there have been hiccups

we've been able to work around.

00;16;28;09 - 00;16;31;13

So, you know, talk about adjusting

is definitely a pivot

00;16;31;13 - 00;16;32;26

and never getting knocked off it.

00;16;32;26 - 00;16;34;16

That's big time.

00;16;35;14 - 00;16;37;06

Well, let's get to the goodness, right?

00;16;37;06 - 00;16;39;07

Let's get to the action, right?

00;16;39;07 - 00;16;41;16

Let's get to the NBA updates.

00;16;42;16 - 00;16;44;12

It's a lot going on.

00;16;44;12 - 00;16;46;14

A whole lot going on right now.

00;16;46;15 - 00;16;50;15

You guys know one of my favorite players

in the league period

00;16;50;23 - 00;16;53;02

because I see young guys, John, right?

00;16;53;02 - 00;16;56;29

I've been championing him

since last season and he has

00;16;56;29 - 00;17;01;06

he been doing more than I expected him

to do this early.

00;17;01;09 - 00;17;03;17

I knew he was a star,

but man, check him out.

00;17;03;20 - 00;17;07;23

The Grizzlies on a nine game as of today

that we recording in a nine game

00;17;07;23 - 00;17;13;09

win streak and counting

the most wins in their franchise history

00;17;14;14 - 00;17;15;21

. I'm just saying,

00;17;15;21 - 00;17;18;18

you know, I only want to talk

about all the highlights, everybody seeing

00;17;18;18 - 00;17;21;18

the highlights everywhere, you know,

Adobe is when he steps on the court.

00;17;21;28 - 00;17;27;05

You know, it's just interesting because

just when he came back from injury,

00;17;27;06 - 00;17;30;27

they lost to OKC after

they had beaten by like 75 or whatever

00;17;30;27 - 00;17;34;18

one of the home fans in Memphis was,

you know, saying, Joel,

00;17;34;18 - 00;17;36;19

you should have stayed out

or whatever else.

00;17;36;22 - 00;17;38;20

And now look at it, right?

00;17;38;20 - 00;17;39;24

It's amazing how I go.

00;17;39;24 - 00;17;44;13

And that was good until it is interesting

how social media and these young stars

00;17;44;13 - 00;17;47;16

are starting to get affected by it

a little bit in the fans stuff, too.

00;17;47;17 - 00;17;51;14

But let's talk about this Grizzlies man

and how he's leading his team

00;17;51;16 - 00;17;52;13

under six foot.

00;17;52;13 - 00;17;55;09

Well, of course

everybody sees the highlights,

00;17;55;09 - 00;17;58;11

but the true tale of John Ran is that.

00;17;59;18 - 00;18;00;11

He is

00;18;00;11 - 00;18;03;15

he scores a lot, but he is a pass

first point guard.

00;18;04;00 - 00;18;08;10

He just he's in situations sometimes where

he needs his team needs him to score.

00;18;08;21 - 00;18;10;23

But he does all the little stuff as well.

00;18;10;23 - 00;18;14;16

You know, he rebounds,

he plays defense and he's a leader.

00;18;15;03 - 00;18;19;23

And you know, and that's that's a part of

his game that no one really talks about.

00;18;19;23 - 00;18;23;26

And that's why,

you know, truthfully speaking,

00;18;24;22 - 00;18;27;08

I'm not saying

he should be in the top five MVP.

00;18;27;21 - 00;18;31;16

But if you were to throw his name in there

at four and five,

00;18;31;16 - 00;18;35;05

I wouldn't be upset just because of what

he's doing, what he did the previous year.

00;18;35;05 - 00;18;38;27

With this team being depleted

with injuries and things like that. So

00;18;40;03 - 00;18;42;11

I mean, he's a monster man.

Yeah, for sure.

00;18;42;12 - 00;18;45;16

I mean, monster,

the Grizzlies are 28 and 14.

00;18;45;24 - 00;18;48;02

And number four in the West, right?

00;18;48;02 - 00;18;50;24

And you look at that

just and you talk about

00;18;50;24 - 00;18;54;02

we talked about Chris Paul

and how just him being around

00;18;54;02 - 00;18;57;16

and organization changes the complexities

of it all together, right?

00;18;57;18 - 00;18;59;11

They walk different. They talk different.

00;18;59;11 - 00;19;00;09

They approach business.

00;19;00;09 - 00;19;03;01

Different

guy is in his third year in a league,

00;19;03;24 - 00;19;06;00

and this whole Grizzlies organization

00;19;06;08 - 00;19;09;16

has the attitude that he has the monster,

00;19;09;22 - 00;19;13;26

the swagger that he's walking with

to where he's on the court.

00;19;13;26 - 00;19;15;11

They believe they can do anything.

00;19;15;11 - 00;19;18;04

Do you see them talking trash

where he leads by example?

00;19;18;23 - 00;19;19;12

I mean, that's all.

00;19;19;12 - 00;19;20;28

That's all it takes me.

00;19;20;28 - 00;19;22;28

Lead by example was dope to you.

00;19;22;28 - 00;19;24;06

Talk about him being a leader.

00;19;24;06 - 00;19;26;15

People

don't get to see what that looks like

00;19;26;15 - 00;19;28;22

unless you have

those moments like being miked up,

00;19;28;22 - 00;19;30;09

you know, maybe had a couple times

00;19;30;09 - 00;19;32;09

where they might come up,

but you get to see him in practice.

00;19;32;10 - 00;19;33;26

And I see comments like, Yo,

00;19;33;26 - 00;19;37;10

he's moving like a

like a seven or eight year vet already.

00;19;37;15 - 00;19;40;02

And there's a vast data

about listening to him on top of that.

00;19;40;18 - 00;19;42;12

That's not something that you can just

teach.

00;19;42;12 - 00;19;46;04

Well, you know,

he's learned a lot of stuff on his own.

00;19;46;05 - 00;19;50;06

He's had to figure stuff out on his own

because I mean, it's evident he, you know,

00;19;50;07 - 00;19;53;09

no disrespect to the university

he went to.

00;19;53;09 - 00;19;56;04

But yeah, but we all know that he should

have been playing in the

00;19;57;24 - 00;20;00;11

Big Ten or something. So

00;20;00;11 - 00;20;01;09

I love it, though.

00;20;01;09 - 00;20;06;19

So shout out to you, my job

jersey coming in some job, right?

00;20;06;20 - 00;20;07;22

Anthony Edwards,

00;20;07;22 - 00;20;11;16

you know, those are the guys

I'm see I'm waiting for to get out of.

00;20;11;16 - 00;20;14;02

Minnesota was like a couple of years ago.

00;20;14;04 - 00;20;16;06

You and I try to wear that at all.

00;20;16;12 - 00;20;19;05

I got to send you

some of these videos of cat guys

00;20;19;05 - 00;20;22;00

and the Times got,

I don't know this little podcast or him

00;20;22;06 - 00;20;24;25

talking on Twitch or something,

but it's interesting.

00;20;25;20 - 00;20;26;28

It's interesting.

00;20;26;28 - 00;20;29;03

Let you see it first. I might.

We might do a talking.

00;20;29;04 - 00;20;29;25

Let's you like so.

00;20;29;25 - 00;20;33;25

So when is when Anthony Edwards

rookie contracts up?

00;20;34;13 - 00;20;35;07

Mm hmm.

00;20;35;07 - 00;20;38;16

You think he's going to leave

the 50 60 million on table?

00;20;38;21 - 00;20;41;09

Adios. I would, I think.

00;20;41;18 - 00;20;45;19

And you know, Ian,

he was balling them so he would clutch.

00;20;45;19 - 00;20;49;02

So they don't they don't put them

in the right direction and get his money.

00;20;49;20 - 00;20;52;11

No, I'm not saying they're going

to get he's going to get money,

00;20;52;19 - 00;20;54;22

but he's always going to leave

some on the table.

00;20;54;22 - 00;20;58;04

But we know we talked about this before

and some people thought I was crazy

00;20;58;04 - 00;21;02;05

when I said that in certain situations,

I'll take less money

00;21;02;05 - 00;21;03;29

to give me a chance to win, for sure.

00;21;03;29 - 00;21;05;07

But peace of mind.

00;21;05;07 - 00;21;07;20

When you were a competitor

and he's already had moments

00;21;07;20 - 00;21;09;21

where you heard him

talk out and be like, Yo,

00;21;09;21 - 00;21;10;19

I even told Cat,

00;21;10;19 - 00;21;13;22

like, like, yo, you got to swing the ball

or you got to play a little bit harder,

00;21;13;22 - 00;21;15;25

like you got to be more aggressive

when you see somebody

00;21;15;25 - 00;21;17;25

that young having to point that out.

00;21;17;25 - 00;21;19;16

You see his competitive nature

00;21;19;16 - 00;21;22;07

and everybody is now meeting that

and using that space.

00;21;22;17 - 00;21;25;08

Either the organization

got to change the people around him.

00;21;25;08 - 00;21;26;25

Or you can be like, I'm.

00;21;26;25 - 00;21;29;09

Well, so where we are in the organization?

00;21;29;09 - 00;21;31;24

I mean, come on, man. Yeah, A-Rod,

they might change.

00;21;32;05 - 00;21;34;17

Yeah, it's like baseball.

00;21;35;04 - 00;21;37;06

Let's let's take it on the.

00;21;37;06 - 00;21;40;08

You know, DeMar DeRozan in the Bulls.

00;21;41;01 - 00;21;43;03

A lot has happened, you know,

00;21;43;23 - 00;21;46;06

over the last like three or four months.

00;21;46;06 - 00;21;50;06

But the interesting thing about the bulls

is that no one in the

00;21;50;06 - 00;21;51;19

in the east right now.

00;21;51;19 - 00;21;53;06

Right. And over that stretch,

00;21;54;04 - 00;21;56;07

DeMar DeRozan has had some game winners.

00;21;56;11 - 00;22;01;18

He's been in closer and the Rosen

has had an interesting career

00;22;02;08 - 00;22;07;09

right into where right now

he may be in the MVP talk conversation.

00;22;07;20 - 00;22;11;05

These are an interesting career

because he was always a winner

00;22;12;01 - 00;22;14;01

in Toronto, too, right?

00;22;14;27 - 00;22;18;10

I'd say, yeah, he's always a winner

where they would always say

00;22;18;14 - 00;22;22;16

he wasn't the necessary troops

to get over the top right.

00;22;22;16 - 00;22;24;05

And they that's what they said.

00;22;24;05 - 00;22;24;25

That's what in there.

00;22;24;25 - 00;22;28;10

Well, the problem was.

00;22;28;10 - 00;22;31;03

I think he's somewhat a leader by example.

00;22;31;07 - 00;22;32;17

He's not a vocal leader.

00;22;32;17 - 00;22;34;24

That's we know that.

00;22;35;01 - 00;22;38;15

And when you are.

00;22;38;15 - 00;22;40;26

Supposed to be anointed as a leader.

00;22;41;12 - 00;22;43;03

And you're like a two or three.

00;22;43;03 - 00;22;45;09

It's hard because a two or three.

00;22;45;09 - 00;22;46;29

The. The

00;22;48;07 - 00;22;51;05

key to

their existence is being aggressive,

00;22;51;24 - 00;22;54;20

and so sometimes that can be

that can be misconstrued

00;22;54;20 - 00;22;57;15

as being a little selfish,

but he's not selfish at all.

00;22;58;06 - 00;23;01;00

In fact,

sometimes he may defer a little too much.

00;23;01;00 - 00;23;03;21

But, but he's always playing hard.

00;23;03;21 - 00;23;05;25

He's always played well. I mean, but.

00;23;06;29 - 00;23;09;13

Whenever your kryptonite has been LeBron,

00;23;10;01 - 00;23;12;23

I mean, it's

nothing to be ashamed of me about it.

00;23;12;24 - 00;23;17;21

Jordan is considered the greatest player

of all time and he prevented

00;23;17;21 - 00;23;21;05

like: 1010

eleven Hall of Famers from getting rings.

00;23;21;05 - 00;23;22;20

So it's all right.

00;23;22;20 - 00;23;24;24

The more you go, you in a good space,

right,

00;23;24;26 - 00;23;29;14

where he was in that transition

because he got traded to San Antonio.

00;23;29;25 - 00;23;30;09

Right.

00;23;30;09 - 00;23;32;24

And everybody was like,

Oh, he's just going to be the time

00;23;32;24 - 00;23;35;08

where he shows he can shoot three pointers

or whatever else.

00;23;35;14 - 00;23;36;20

I don't think anybody.

00;23;37;20 - 00;23;38;29

I think people started to write them off

00;23;38;29 - 00;23;40;19

a little bit

after that, San Antonio things.

00;23;40;19 - 00;23;44;10

Well, because going into free agency,

you know, the Lakers, yeah, go here.

00;23;44;11 - 00;23;47;03

But I don't know

if anybody was still looking at DeMar.

00;23;47;09 - 00;23;49;06

And let me rephrase that.

00;23;49;06 - 00;23;53;06

The media because real who know the deal,

but I don't think

00;23;53;06 - 00;23;58;26

they were expecting DeMar to still ascend

after going to San Antonio.

00;23;59;00 - 00;23;59;08

Right?

00;23;59;08 - 00;24;02;29

Well, the people who who wrote him off

going to San Antonio are idiots.

00;24;03;00 - 00;24;04;09

Yeah. I'll just be honest with you.

00;24;04;09 - 00;24;07;15

You don't have to be a three point

00;24;07;15 - 00;24;10;05

shooter to be a star or MVP candidate.

00;24;10;17 - 00;24;12;06

You play your game.

00;24;12;06 - 00;24;16;16

Of course, we want people to evolve

as they, you know, progressing

00;24;16;16 - 00;24;19;11

their their professional careers

and things like that.

00;24;19;25 - 00;24;24;16

But for all we know, he could shoot

500 threes every day.

00;24;24;21 - 00;24;25;04

Mm hmm.

00;24;25;04 - 00;24;27;07

But is he making them?

00;24;27;07 - 00;24;28;21

Is he comfortable in taking them?

00;24;28;21 - 00;24;31;10

So if he ain't comfortable

in taking them, don't shoot him.

00;24;31;11 - 00;24;33;09

But now I see him, he here shooting

00;24;33;09 - 00;24;36;26

when he needs to because he hit a game

winner like a couple games ago too.

00;24;37;04 - 00;24;40;00

I mean, so, you know, but if that's not

00;24;40;24 - 00;24;44;03

what you're comfortable doing, man,

and you've been successful so far.

00;24;45;03 - 00;24;46;21

Keep doing what you do, right?

00;24;46;21 - 00;24;48;20

You know, don't don't try to be something

you're not.

00;24;48;20 - 00;24;51;25

That's the problem

we have today with grassroots basketball.

00;24;52;12 - 00;24;56;28

That's the problem we have

with half of the NBA, half of the NBA,

00;24;58;00 - 00;25;00;27

all of the basketball beneath the NBA.

00;25;01;07 - 00;25;03;19

Guys are thinking

they're Steph Curry and Klay Thompson.

00;25;03;19 - 00;25;05;23

You're not Steph Curry,

you're not Klay Thompson.

00;25;05;27 - 00;25;07;07

You're not Damian Lillard.

00;25;07;07 - 00;25;09;21

You can't shoot from the logo. Stop.

00;25;09;21 - 00;25;10;09

You know what I'm saying?

00;25;10;09 - 00;25;13;20

Shoe from shoe from a distance

where you have a high percentage,

00;25;13;21 - 00;25;15;12

you're successful, you're comfortable.

00;25;15;12 - 00;25;17;19

And the shot that you've been shooting

00;25;17;19 - 00;25;20;21

hundreds and hundreds

and thousands of times in practice.

00;25;20;28 - 00;25;24;15

So DeMar is doing

what he's supposed to do.

00;25;24;17 - 00;25;27;07

Yeah,

and he's and he's with a great team, too.

00;25;27;17 - 00;25;31;15

So shout out to demand for doing this

and let's not throw that were great.

00;25;31;27 - 00;25;32;28

He's a really good team.

00;25;32;28 - 00;25;35;12

You know, great is when you've, you know,

you know, you know what I mean?

00;25;35;12 - 00;25;38;17

So I can we throw that,

you know, in today's media, we throw that

00;25;38;17 - 00;25;40;04

word around: 1980

00;25;40;04 - 00;25;42;04

Great is obviously but you say great.

00;25;42;04 - 00;25;43;11

They're number one in the east right now.

00;25;43;11 - 00;25;47;06

He's a great yeah, I'm saying

great is meaning you've dominated

00;25;47;06 - 00;25;50;23

the east for a couple of years in a row

and you guys go to the finals now.

00;25;50;29 - 00;25;52;01

That's great.

00;25;52;07 - 00;25;55;03

We winning saying they're good

and they're good at this.

00;25;55;07 - 00;25;56;07

They're good, solid.

00;25;56;07 - 00;25;58;25

They're really good.

I give them that for sure.

00;25;58;26 - 00;26;01;19

You know, Lonzo,

shout out to Zach LaVine, your boy.

00;26;01;20 - 00;26;06;09

Yeah, because he's taken

he's taken a lesser role to help the team.

00;26;06;11 - 00;26;08;27

Yes, you know,

because he wants to win and he's still

00;26;09;14 - 00;26;11;15

and he's still putting up those numbers.

00;26;11;15 - 00;26;12;08

Yeah, he's right.

00;26;12;08 - 00;26;14;15

And so you just talked about

how so many people

00;26;14;15 - 00;26;17;09

wanting to emulate the three-point logo

shooting anything.

00;26;17;19 - 00;26;21;21

And I think part of that message, that's

the issue is some people are turning

00;26;21;21 - 00;26;25;06

or telling them that they have to be able

to shoot that far right.

00;26;25;07 - 00;26;26;16

And then you look at the more

00;26;26;16 - 00;26;30;00

where DeMar has the best mid-range game

in the league, right?

00;26;30;01 - 00;26;32;12

And then so is Chris Paul

and everybody else.

00;26;32;12 - 00;26;36;08

Their effectiveness doesn't go low

or anywhere is still there.

00;26;36;19 - 00;26;39;16

You don't have to be able to shoot threes

that far.

00;26;39;22 - 00;26;42;09

You have to be a threat

to be able to stretch the floor.

00;26;42;09 - 00;26;43;14

If you are guarded,

00;26;43;14 - 00;26;47;03

you got to be able to knock that down

to keep the defense honest.

00;26;47;11 - 00;26;51;21

But you don't have to be able

to shoot a set of million feet.

00;26;52;00 - 00;26;52;24

No, no.

00;26;52;24 - 00;26;54;13

That's not how it is, right?

00;26;54;13 - 00;26;55;29

Because no matter what

00;26;55;29 - 00;26;58;14

and I was just talking to the young bucks

the other day

00;26;58;14 - 00;26;59;27

he was talking about here in Dubai,

00;26;59;27 - 00;27;02;08

I was talking about how he hates playing

point guard.

00;27;02;08 - 00;27;05;23

They were, I said, you know,

how to pass the ball with my Adobe?

00;27;06;06 - 00;27;07;16

So yeah, you can handle it.

00;27;07;16 - 00;27;09;09

Yeah, so you can score.

00;27;09;09 - 00;27;09;29

So yes, it was.

00;27;09;29 - 00;27;12;00

Would you have been a point guard for you?

00;27;12;00 - 00;27;15;05

Not because, you know, they tell

you got to do this and that they listen.

00;27;15;24 - 00;27;18;09

Like, no,

the game is really, really simple.

00;27;18;09 - 00;27;20;20

Yeah, game is really simple, right?

00;27;20;22 - 00;27;22;17

Always coming down to the same things.

00;27;22;17 - 00;27;25;19

The last three minutes of every game

that's important is

00;27;25;19 - 00;27;29;04

the most fundamentally sound game

that anybody can watch, right?

00;27;29;04 - 00;27;32;20

So don't feel like you got to shoot

that trade well from that deep

00;27;32;29 - 00;27;34;08

working in a game, of course.

00;27;34;08 - 00;27;38;21

Be effective from there, but you don't

have to be a three point launcher.

00;27;38;27 - 00;27;40;20

You know, that's not your thing.

00;27;40;20 - 00;27;42;21

But if it is, by all means, let it fly.

00;27;44;22 - 00;27;45;06

But it's

00;27;45;06 - 00;27;48;08

interesting space because COVID has taken

over the world, right?

00;27;48;17 - 00;27;50;22

So everybody is going

through the same things,

00;27;50;22 - 00;27;53;14

and it looks like everybody's like shit

is here to stay.

00;27;53;19 - 00;27;56;16

So we're not said now for it

unless we're going to keep it going.

00;27;56;16 - 00;27;58;23

And NBA is one of those organizations

that said that.

00;27;58;23 - 00;28;04;10

So, you know, because of that,

we have these ten day contracts going out.

00;28;05;07 - 00;28;07;14

A lot of people getting: 1010

contracts,

00;28;07;14 - 00;28;10;11

you know, Greg Monroe, Isaiah Thomas,

Brandon Knight.

00;28;11;03 - 00;28;13;16

I think Michael Thomas had a quick grant

and I came back.

00;28;13;17 - 00;28;15;11

Yeah, Brandon, I came back or something.

00;28;15;11 - 00;28;17;23

Anybody still has something in them, too.

00;28;17;23 - 00;28;19;23

And several other people, too.

00;28;19;23 - 00;28;23;03

And then Lance Stephenson born ready.

00;28;23;11 - 00;28;26;14

And he's still rocking

those eight and was my favorite.

00;28;26;14 - 00;28;28;02

And once I start with a call,

00;28;29;14 - 00;28;31;19

it's like a

00;28;31;21 - 00;28;32;24

Chinese non-Chinese.

00;28;32;24 - 00;28;35;14

He's like, it's like a martial art type

thing and like,

00;28;36;15 - 00;28;38;14

yeah, shout out to him for breaks.

00;28;38;14 - 00;28;40;16

It was like,

he's like, Mike, he's gonna keep rocking.

00;28;40;16 - 00;28;41;10

Quick question for you.

00;28;41;10 - 00;28;43;14

Aches working with us now, right? OK.

00;28;43;25 - 00;28;46;06

So shouldn't they be like a cue for him

to look that up for us?

00;28;46;27 - 00;28;47;18

Yeah, OK.

00;28;47;18 - 00;28;47;22

All right.

00;28;47;22 - 00;28;50;06

Look, look up this knee. Yeah,

come on, man.

00;28;50;18 - 00;28;52;14

I got this Dwight.

00;28;52;14 - 00;28;53;26

He's so worried about tonight.

00;28;53;26 - 00;28;57;09

May get Let Me Boy a.k.a attorney

00;28;57;09 - 00;29;00;23

turned 23 point big turn at 22.

00;29;01;02 - 00;29;03;12

So shout out to him

a happy birthday early.

00;29;03;12 - 00;29;04;29

Happy birthday man.

00;29;04;29 - 00;29;06;14

You know what's the goal?

00;29;06;14 - 00;29;08;24

And I just look at the last seven,

whatever, whatever

00;29;09;05 - 00;29;11;22

and one sneaker that and the right there.

00;29;11;22 - 00;29;13;19

That's the third one from the left.

00;29;13;19 - 00;29;15;01

Yeah, that's it. Right? There

00;29;16;03 - 00;29;17;06

was that call.

00;29;17;06 - 00;29;17;17

Yeah.

00;29;18;05 - 00;29;22;15

Well, those joints felt they were

comfortable and they looked the best.

00;29;22;15 - 00;29;24;20

Of course,

now I'm going to pull up a picture on

00;29;25;21 - 00;29;28;16

everybody's watching on YouTube

and we'll pull up a picture

00;29;28;16 - 00;29;30;19

so you make sure you can see

it will be there

00;29;31;22 - 00;29;32;15

and then we'll get it.

00;29;32;15 - 00;29;34;00

What's the name of him?

00;29;34;00 - 00;29;35;29

He had this space.

00;29;35;29 - 00;29;37;17

It was embarrassing.

00;29;37;17 - 00;29;39;21

I think that's his personal one.

00;29;40;02 - 00;29;42;09

I'll find out. Yeah, but you know,

the ones we're talking about, right?

00;29;42;09 - 00;29;44;28

Yeah. Yeah, it's on.

But like I said. Land.

00;29;45;09 - 00;29;48;06

He came back and he came back ready to go.

00;29;48;11 - 00;29;52;16

20 points in a quarter, 30 points overall

and you know, he's just

00;29;52;17 - 00;29;54;10

he fills up the stat sheet, right?

00;29;54;10 - 00;29;56;09

He was in a G League for a while with it.

00;29;56;09 - 00;29;58;22

Isaiah Thomas, who also got a ten day.

00;29;58;29 - 00;30;02;13

But first of all, let's make sure

we give a congrats

00;30;02;13 - 00;30;05;25

because, you know,

he got signed for the rest of the season.

00;30;07;09 - 00;30;09;02

They sat out there getting ready for that.

00;30;09;02 - 00;30;10;18

He got signed for the rest of the season.

00;30;10;18 - 00;30;12;19

But what is that?

00;30;12;19 - 00;30;14;11

What are the ten days going out

00;30;14;11 - 00;30;16;19

kind of showing you

because Lance was out of the league?

00;30;16;20 - 00;30;18;09

Lance was playing in China.

00;30;18;09 - 00;30;21;24

Lance was playing G

League and his first game back.

00;30;21;24 - 00;30;23;29

He puts up a 30 piece

and then the next night

00;30;23;29 - 00;30;28;02

he follows it up with a career high

in assists and 14 assists off the bench.

00;30;28;11 - 00;30;32;06

Well, it yeah, he just goes back to.

00;30;33;14 - 00;30;36;02

GM is making rash

00;30;36;02 - 00;30;39;20

decisions based on negative publicity

from the media. Hmm.

00;30;39;27 - 00;30;41;01

That's just bottom line.

00;30;41;01 - 00;30;44;24

Anybody that's played with Lance

when they speak about him publicly,

00;30;44;24 - 00;30;47;03

they never say anything negative

about him.

00;30;47;03 - 00;30;50;26

And most coaches don't really say anything

negative about, you know.

00;30;51;07 - 00;30;54;20

And so my thing is, but you know,

when you see him from the outside and you

00;30;54;20 - 00;30;56;06

see the certain

00;30;57;06 - 00;30;58;17

angles and images that they

00;30;58;17 - 00;31;02;12

show of of Lance, you think that he's,

you know, he's wild, right?

00;31;02;13 - 00;31;03;20

He's really not.

00;31;03;20 - 00;31;07;08

He's, you know, he's really just playing

ball, you know, and he's his celebrations

00;31;07;08 - 00;31;08;15

might be a little bit over the top,

00;31;08;15 - 00;31;11;04

but that's after he's scored a bucket

or something like that.

00;31;11;08 - 00;31;12;28

And everybody is going crazy.

00;31;12;28 - 00;31;15;17

So, you know, a favor

because of that, right?

00;31;15;19 - 00;31;17;27

He plays hard. Yeah, he plays hard.

00;31;17;28 - 00;31;20;28

So, you know, when

when your Lakers got rid of I was like,

00;31;21;15 - 00;31;24;08

I probably could have kept him, man,

you know, but

00;31;24;23 - 00;31;28;07

we can do what we talked about it

a little bit more in depth, too,

00;31;28;07 - 00;31;32;27

because you, I was playing now was like,

you know, the ten day moments right here

00;31;33;01 - 00;31;37;11

kind of showing how the league

because they push so much for these youth

00;31;37;11 - 00;31;38;10

and the young

00;31;38;10 - 00;31;42;28

that they missing out on the in-between,

like they're like 15 teams have.

00;31;42;28 - 00;31;44;23

The league is tanking trying to rebuild.

00;31;44;23 - 00;31;47;14

Right, right.

And that's bad for basketball.

00;31;47;24 - 00;31;51;12

So when you have those times

where there some in seven, 89 year vets

00;31;51;17 - 00;31;55;13

who want to keep your team competitive,

maybe you guys are just staying around

00;31;55;19 - 00;31;59;10

that six, seven, eight range as well

as playoffs, but you're still competitive,

00;31;59;10 - 00;32;00;21

you still getting seat.

00;32;00;21 - 00;32;04;06

Everybody else did last like bottom

16 in the league.

00;32;04;11 - 00;32;07;13

They trying to be younger,

which means less experience, means

00;32;07;13 - 00;32;11;04

less competitiveness when they can keep

a guy like lance around.

00;32;11;18 - 00;32;16;14

And you develop those youth where you want

to keep guys like Lance Jo Johnson in it

00;32;16;17 - 00;32;18;07

and those guys for one reason

00;32;18;07 - 00;32;18;27

because

00;32;19;06 - 00;32;22;13

they've already made a lot of money and

they're playing for the love of the game

00;32;22;13 - 00;32;23;05

and they're going to

00;32;23;05 - 00;32;26;03

they're going to, you know,

teach your locker room to play hard.

00;32;26;04 - 00;32;27;13

Yes, because that's the problem.

00;32;27;13 - 00;32;30;07

Now, you know, you said most

teams are tanking trying to get the next,

00;32;31;00 - 00;32;33;07

you know, pick or whatever,

but top traffic.

00;32;33;07 - 00;32;35;12

But that's not going to happen

for everybody.

00;32;35;22 - 00;32;38;04

You know,

sometimes you got to go with what you got.

00;32;38;04 - 00;32;42;00

And so you know, you need those guys, man,

because it shows,

00;32;42;01 - 00;32;44;01

if not, you wouldn't be bringing them up

now. Right.

00;32;44;01 - 00;32;46;25

And we talk about culture,

culture building right.

00;32;46;27 - 00;32;51;00

Somebody has to be there to drop

that knowledge down, to pass it for.

00;32;51;02 - 00;32;51;26

That's why Udonis

00;32;51;26 - 00;32;56;10

Haslem is still in the Heat's locker room

because his voice is impaired.

00;32;56;10 - 00;33;00;08

And that's why we had Jared Dudley before,

because he's been in the league for

00;33;00;08 - 00;33;00;25

so long.

00;33;00;25 - 00;33;02;16

You can teach him how to be professionals

00;33;02;16 - 00;33;04;09

and teach him how to carry yourself

the right way.

00;33;04;09 - 00;33;06;06

So shout out to Lance because last year

00;33;06;06 - 00;33;08;04

had never been out of the league

in the first place, right?

00;33;08;04 - 00;33;10;00

But you brought up the point about.

00;33;11;02 - 00;33;13;25

Not only was it about the opportunity

to get a ten day,

00;33;14;03 - 00;33;17;11

but what was Lance doing when he wasn't

in the league or his ball and overseas?

00;33;17;12 - 00;33;19;27

It doesn't seem like he's

staying in shape,

00;33;20;12 - 00;33;22;20

you know, bringing in a hefty check

00;33;23;03 - 00;33;27;14

and not allowing the NBA to dampen

his spirits.

00;33;27;14 - 00;33;29;26

In terms of the game, he's like,

You know what?

00;33;29;26 - 00;33;31;07

I just love the hoop.

00;33;31;07 - 00;33;34;06

And if I can get a chance to hoop

and somebody is going to pay me for it,

00;33;34;24 - 00;33;35;27

I'm going.

00;33;35;27 - 00;33;37;19

And that's what that's

what hoopers do, man.

00;33;37;19 - 00;33;38;08

That's a loopers.

00;33;38;08 - 00;33;38;28

Do you know you don't?

00;33;38;28 - 00;33;43;02

Just if you still got something left

in the tank and there's not any serious

00;33;43;02 - 00;33;43;21

health issues.

00;33;43;21 - 00;33;46;09

You go play,

you go play. And that's what Lance did.

00;33;46;14 - 00;33;48;15

I take my. He came to the league.

00;33;48;15 - 00;33;51;07

You talk about those numbers he put

it was because he was in shape, right?

00;33;51;08 - 00;33;52;05

That's it.

00;33;52;05 - 00;33;54;24

That's it. In game shape is different.

00;33;54;24 - 00;33;59;21

Duka run,

I mean, 30 laps on a track, 15 miles

00;34;00;26 - 00;34;02;20

or two stairs jump up all that.

00;34;02;20 - 00;34;05;02

But if you're not playing basketball

up and down,

00;34;05;16 - 00;34;07;09

you're not going to be in

shape is not going.

00;34;07;09 - 00;34;08;25

It is not going to hit the same.

00;34;08;25 - 00;34;11;21

So shout out to let you know trade

00;34;11;21 - 00;34;14;18

that trade deadline is coming.

00;34;14;28 - 00;34;18;13

It's going to be interesting because,

you know, the Celtics still having their

00;34;18;21 - 00;34;22;09

their risk and perk is calling them out.

00;34;22;25 - 00;34;27;14

And then the young Bucks,

J, J, B and Tatum are responding to it.

00;34;28;14 - 00;34;32;01

Now I see that the Sixers say they're open

00;34;32;01 - 00;34;35;21

to trading Tobias Harris as well.

00;34;36;05 - 00;34;40;10

Jerami Grant is a hot topic as the Lakers

Knicks with their hot on him, right?

00;34;40;11 - 00;34;42;23

Yeah, Lakers, Knicks and Blazers

and with it.

00;34;44;00 - 00;34;45;16

I mean, it's going to be interesting

space,

00;34;45;16 - 00;34;48;04

especially right now

with the Sixers on a seven game

00;34;48;04 - 00;34;51;15

winning streak and quietly,

nobody saying anything.

00;34;51;15 - 00;34;55;13

And Embiid, of course, is averaging

like 30 and ten doing that,

00;34;55;19 - 00;34;58;07

you know, looking like an MVP type of guy.

00;34;58;15 - 00;35;00;29

So what are you looking to see?

00;35;00;29 - 00;35;02;09

What do you think will be some, some

00;35;03;22 - 00;35;05;24

teams you're watching to make some moves?

00;35;06;18 - 00;35;09;08

It break. Well, for sure.

00;35;09;09 - 00;35;11;25

You know, we know Lakers,

of course they need the

00;35;13;13 - 00;35;14;22

problems.

00;35;15;00 - 00;35;16;20

They're going to get better

by subtraction.

00;35;16;20 - 00;35;18;21

We'll get we'll get the good they.

00;35;18;26 - 00;35;21;13

Yeah, see, I'm I'm here in solidarity.

00;35;21;14 - 00;35;22;13

No, not really.

00;35;22;13 - 00;35;23;25

I thought you use

00;35;23;25 - 00;35;27;29

one of the last members of the NWA

or something like that and there's D.J.

00;35;28;00 - 00;35;29;17

Yellen's cousin or something like that.

00;35;29;17 - 00;35;30;06

You don't say but.

00;35;30;06 - 00;35;35;27

But no, I think the Knicks

definitely need to make it.

00;35;35;28 - 00;35;37;29

I think they need to bring in something.

00;35;37;29 - 00;35;39;15

The Knicks interest there, you see?

00;35;39;15 - 00;35;43;29

Yeah, I knew growing up

in every area of basketball, right?

00;35;43;29 - 00;35;44;24

Almost.

00;35;45;03 - 00;35;47;24

Yeah, all the good stuff

the golden years is.

00;35;47;24 - 00;35;49;14

And from the eighties on up, right

00;35;50;14 - 00;35;51;11

on up.

00;35;52;24 - 00;35;57;08

So Julius Randle has been in the back

and forth with the Knicks

00;35;57;08 - 00;36;00;23

fans at Madison Square Garden,

and he hasn't been playing well, right?

00;36;01;24 - 00;36;04;08

And, you know, booing fans,

00;36;04;08 - 00;36;07;04

blah blah blah blah, blah blah.

00;36;07;14 - 00;36;10;16

What after seeing the Knicks

have those issues with Kemba

00;36;10;16 - 00;36;12;12

where they were sitting Kemba

and then play them,

00;36;12;12 - 00;36;15;18

and then they were still losing, then

Kemba comes back and putting up photos

00;36;15;18 - 00;36;18;02

and all these other stuff,

and they still have the same struggles.

00;36;19;03 - 00;36;22;22

What are you seeing about that team

and how their best players

00;36;22;22 - 00;36;24;04

are responding in like it?

00;36;24;04 - 00;36;27;05

It all boils down to Tibbs.

00;36;28;02 - 00;36;32;24

You know, their resurgence

last year was based on Tibbs saying,

00;36;33;09 - 00;36;37;27

I spent time going around the league

and being around other organizations

00;36;37;27 - 00;36;43;23

and coaches and practices and players

and got out of my own way

00;36;44;13 - 00;36;46;19

and started doing things

a little differently.

00;36;47;11 - 00;36;51;19

And so he started putting trust

in more players, and so they responded,

00;36;51;27 - 00;36;52;21

right?

00;36;52;28 - 00;36;58;18

This year, you can see he's

a little more guarded and he's not really.

00;36;58;29 - 00;37;02;19

Let's just say

we know Kemba has is his. His

00;37;03;29 - 00;37;06;07

glaring weaknesses,

he's not really a point guard, he's

00;37;06;07 - 00;37;09;17

a shooting guard and,

you know, trapped in a point guard body,

00;37;10;08 - 00;37;13;04

and Tibbs

hasn't really taken to him that way.

00;37;13;11 - 00;37;15;28

And so, you know, and of course.

00;37;15;28 - 00;37;18;18

You know, if Kim was a killer

00;37;19;08 - 00;37;21;19

and he's not playing in teams losing,

00;37;22;25 - 00;37;26;01

there's chatter in that locker room

and then there's nothing

00;37;26;01 - 00;37;29;09

as a coach you can do to change

unless you decide to change that lineup.

00;37;30;00 - 00;37;32;00

So, so Teams is going to have to say,

00;37;32;26 - 00;37;34;29

I need to open my mind up again

00;37;35;13 - 00;37;38;25

and start

letting a few more guys do their thing.

00;37;39;09 - 00;37;40;20

And let's just get some.

00;37;40;20 - 00;37;43;05

Let's just get some momentum. Yeah, right?

00;37;43;06 - 00;37;45;11

You know, don't don't be so controlling,

you know?

00;37;45;14 - 00;37;46;21

You know, tears, man.

00;37;46;21 - 00;37;50;05

You get six guys handle and run on

the ground and they'll play

00;37;51;07 - 00;37;53;00

45 minutes a game.

00;37;53;00 - 00;37;56;14

You know, whether it's back to back 13,

14 games in a row

00;37;56;14 - 00;37;57;21

and they can't do that, man.

00;37;57;21 - 00;37;59;04

Yeah, that's interesting.

00;37;59;04 - 00;38;00;29

I mean,

I love to see what's going to happen.

00;38;00;29 - 00;38;05;08

I am still trying to see

what the Celtics are going to do.

00;38;05;26 - 00;38;09;09

You know, we've had we've had talked

about this earlier in the year

00;38;09;09 - 00;38;09;29

to where I was like,

00;38;09;29 - 00;38;13;20

Look, it's time, you know, T

Mac and Vince Carter type of vibe.

00;38;14;07 - 00;38;18;03

You got to let one go so they can

run their own space and there's no room.

00;38;18;12 - 00;38;21;26

I want to see what they're going to do

with with Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum.

00;38;21;27 - 00;38;27;05

I still think that Jaylen Brown

to Philly changes Philly

00;38;27;24 - 00;38;31;09

all together with, with Philly now

00;38;31;09 - 00;38;35;08

saying that they will be willing to trade

Ben Simmons and Tobias Harris.

00;38;35;12 - 00;38;37;18

What do you think that opens the door for?

00;38;38;01 - 00;38;38;12

Well.

00;38;40;25 - 00;38;42;05

Of course, that would

00;38;42;05 - 00;38;45;12

heavily with just

that catapult them to number one.

00;38;45;18 - 00;38;46;15

Sure.

00;38;46;21 - 00;38;50;27

But if I'm Boston, I'm

not necessarily ready to break them up

00;38;50;27 - 00;38;56;00

until I really have a true experiment

with a true point guard.

00;38;56;14 - 00;38;58;21

Think they haven't

had a true point guard in there?

00;38;59;04 - 00;39;02;28

Marcus

Smart fills in admirably, admirably.

00;39;02;28 - 00;39;06;14

You know that you know that, but

he's more of a guy coming off the bench.

00;39;06;15 - 00;39;09;12

He's not a starting point

guard. He's a six man man.

00;39;09;12 - 00;39;11;10

This guy comes in off,

you know, off the bench.

00;39;11;10 - 00;39;12;22

He played 123.

00;39;12;22 - 00;39;15;05

He's a he's so tough

he might play the floor for a few minutes,

00;39;15;06 - 00;39;17;09

you know I'm saying,

but he's not a true point guard.

00;39;17;20 - 00;39;18;28

Kyrie is not a true point guard.

00;39;18;28 - 00;39;20;14

Kemba was not a true point guard.

00;39;20;14 - 00;39;23;13

And those guys just imagine this.

00;39;25;01 - 00;39;27;05

Imagine Jalen on one side.

00;39;28;01 - 00;39;30;24

At the three, Tatum

at the other side of the two

00;39;31;08 - 00;39;35;12

and Chris Paul running show,

everybody is going to get a steady diet.

00;39;35;26 - 00;39;36;26

You know what I mean?

00;39;36;26 - 00;39;38;12

And he's going to be able to fit.

00;39;38;12 - 00;39;40;26

He's going to be able

to feel the pulse of the game in terms of

00;39;41;26 - 00;39;44;16

I need to get Jaylen

when I need to get Tatum.

00;39;44;20 - 00;39;47;15

You know me, let me Tatum just here

to let me go back to him, you know?

00;39;47;28 - 00;39;50;27

But like, what's in the league

for the Dennis Schroder?

00;39;50;27 - 00;39;52;29

Don't stop playing. Absolutely.

00;39;53;28 - 00;39;56;22

Schroder, you know,

I ain't got no love for you, Gumby.

00;39;57;00 - 00;39;59;23

But he whooping, though he will

get himself a little little contract.

00;40;00;09 - 00;40;01;22

Ain't got no love for you, homie.

00;40;01;22 - 00;40;03;20

But man, come on, man. 84 million in cash,

00;40;05;10 - 00;40;07;29

so we could use you.

00;40;08;00 - 00;40;10;02

But who fits that role?

00;40;10;13 - 00;40;12;25

So if that's the case, right?

00;40;12;25 - 00;40;17;22

one if if Tobias Harris and Ben

Simmons on a trading block.

00;40;19;01 - 00;40;20;28

Who should make that trade?

00;40;20;28 - 00;40;24;28

If it's my job and was not Jaylen Brown.

00;40;25;27 - 00;40;28;28

Who who do you see as an even tray

for that

00;40;30;00 - 00;40;31;04

getting rid of?

00;40;31;04 - 00;40;31;28

There's not any.

00;40;31;28 - 00;40;32;09

No, no, no.

00;40;32;09 - 00;40;35;17

I'm talking about: 446666

00;40;35;22 - 00;40;38;28

OK. On a trading block is Ben

Simmons and Tobias Harris.

00;40;40;07 - 00;40;42;12

If you, Daryl Morey or whatever

his name is,

00;40;42;16 - 00;40;46;22

you're making those two available

for who in your mind?

00;40;46;22 - 00;40;47;26

Who is he aiming?

00;40;47;26 - 00;40;51;04

And he's like, All right, we'll make these

two available if I can get this guy.

00;40;53;25 - 00;40;56;27

I mean, honestly speaking.

00;40;57;17 - 00;40;59;21

Probably only Portland,

00;40;59;21 - 00;41;03;23

maybe to Zain, because Ben Simmons is a.

00;41;05;28 - 00;41;06;13

He's in a

00;41;06;13 - 00;41;09;16

situation where where can you

where will he fit in

00;41;10;16 - 00;41;12;29

because you'd have to send him somewhere

where you have

00;41;13;14 - 00;41;16;29

at first immediately

came to my mind was Atlanta because

00;41;17;19 - 00;41;22;27

Trey Young is a true point guard,

but he's got a score so much for them .

00;41;22;27 - 00;41;26;16

And if Ben was there, you played that

he could play off the ball a lot more.

00;41;27;13 - 00;41;29;07

You know, Ben can't go to Golden State.

00;41;29;07 - 00;41;31;22

They already got their crew back. Yeah,

they don't need him.

00;41;31;23 - 00;41;33;24

They don't need him, you know?

00;41;34;15 - 00;41;36;29

And Ben,

if you're going to get rid of him,

00;41;36;29 - 00;41;40;22

you know it's going to be a team

that he can get over the hump

00;41;40;22 - 00;41;43;06

in terms of getting into the playoffs

and making a deep run.

00;41;43;20 - 00;41;47;14

So me with Portland, I don't

I don't see any way.

00;41;47;14 - 00;41;51;26

I mean, send him to Sacramento,

Houston, Washington, nothing.

00;41;52;10 - 00;41;53;06

You know, it's just,

00;41;54;13 - 00;41;55;04

you know, he wouldn't

00;41;55;04 - 00;41;57;03

even help in Washington.

00;41;58;04 - 00;41;59;08

You know, I mean, he would

00;41;59;08 - 00;42;02;10

help, of course, they win,

but they would have to lose a big piece

00;42;02;11 - 00;42;07;14

examining the mess of the commission,

exactly, you know, and so he's

00;42;08;14 - 00;42;09;10

he's virtually Andre.

00;42;09;10 - 00;42;12;07

You know, we talked about the DeMar

DeRozan not shooting threes.

00;42;12;18 - 00;42;15;16

Well, think about him not shooting at all.

00;42;16;00 - 00;42;16;13

Yeah.

00;42;16;13 - 00;42;18;20

And it's a wild narrative

to even have a talk with.

00;42;18;22 - 00;42;21;00

It's still sound crazy. Yeah, it's crazy.

00;42;21;01 - 00;42;22;03

Like what?

00;42;22;03 - 00;42;23;20

So we're going to see

00;42;23;27 - 00;42;25;09

trade deadline is going to be interesting.

00;42;25;09 - 00;42;29;06

I want to see what the South is going to

do at that point that you made about J.B.

00;42;29;06 - 00;42;31;20

and Jayson Tatum is a very, very valid.

00;42;31;25 - 00;42;35;25

I don't know

like what point guard in today's game.

00;42;37;06 - 00;42;39;09

Do you put their

00;42;39;12 - 00;42;40;01

rooms in?

00;42;40;01 - 00;42;42;01

I think about this.

00;42;42;01 - 00;42;44;21

Everybody talks about, everybody talks

about their failures, right?

00;42;45;02 - 00;42;47;00

How they're up and down.

00;42;47;01 - 00;42;50;29

If LeBron wasn't in the East,

then cats would have been in the finals.

00;42;51;06 - 00;42;51;27

Right?

00;42;51;28 - 00;42;54;02

Think about that, right? Right.

00;42;54;02 - 00;42;56;05

That was a useful thing about that.

00;42;56;06 - 00;42;56;29

A couple of times

00;42;56;29 - 00;43;00;28

they would have been either

finals or Eastern Conference finals. Hmm.

00;43;01;08 - 00;43;03;01

So then what would people say then?

00;43;03;01 - 00;43;06;15

Then we would be saying, Oh, they just won

00;43;07;10 - 00;43;10;14

their one true point guard away

from getting to the Championship.

00;43;11;00 - 00;43;14;05

So it's not a matter where they listen.

00;43;14;24 - 00;43;19;04

These guys can't do damage to the team

00;43;19;28 - 00;43;22;18

if you have somebody

directing the team, right?

00;43;22;19 - 00;43;24;04

They just can't. Well, who who could?

00;43;24;04 - 00;43;26;12

Directly, though, like,

I'm sitting here now, I'm thinking, like,

00;43;26;20 - 00;43;29;16

yeah, young point guards

like Darius Garland and Jeremiah Wright,

00;43;29;16 - 00;43;32;18

but they're going to be cornerstones

of their franchise .

00;43;32;18 - 00;43;35;17

But it takes

it takes three things. first thing is.

00;43;36;23 - 00;43;39;13

Brad Stevens

has moved in to the president.

00;43;40;03 - 00;43;42;18

Yeah, situation, right? Yeah.

00;43;42;27 - 00;43;43;14

All right.

00;43;43;14 - 00;43;48;01

He's he's so he's got to be the first guy

to say, Look, we need to have a talk.

00;43;49;01 - 00;43;51;10

second thing is, he's got to

00;43;51;10 - 00;43;54;18

then have a conversation with coach.

00;43;54;18 - 00;43;56;26

And coach then has to have a conversation

with those guys.

00;43;57;29 - 00;44;02;25

And then the third conversation will come

with whoever they have at the point.

00;44;02;26 - 00;44;05;02

That's a true, true point guard.

00;44;05;10 - 00;44;08;23

And it's not even going to be anybody,

they say a natural point guard

00;44;09;00 - 00;44;10;16

like somebody, for example.

00;44;10;16 - 00;44;13;26

Let's just say,

what if Patty Mills was there?

00;44;13;26 - 00;44;15;18

That's all you need, somebody

00;44;15;18 - 00;44;18;20

get it off the floor

and make good decisions

00;44;18;23 - 00;44;22;00

because Patty Mills will fill the role

the way Derek Fisher feel the role.

00;44;22;09 - 00;44;24;20

Are you guys back on today? OK, OK.

00;44;25;28 - 00;44;28;00

I mean, Marcus Smart do that.

00;44;28;00 - 00;44;28;15

He ain't.

00;44;28;15 - 00;44;33;28

Patty Mills, you know, because

because Marcus Smart has more of a um,

00;44;33;28 - 00;44;35;24

and he has more of a killer instinct

00;44;35;24 - 00;44;38;20

to let me get a bucket

because remember, he was he was that guy.

00;44;38;29 - 00;44;41;21

Oklahoma State Yeah. So so who?

00;44;41;21 - 00;44;44;09

Who out there would you go?

00;44;44;09 - 00;44;46;01

Get it?

00;44;46;01 - 00;44;50;05

I'm saying, Well, it sounds like you did

have Rozier before to me, but he was.

00;44;50;06 - 00;44;51;00

He's what is he?

00;44;51;00 - 00;44;53;20

He's a he's really a shooting

guard, Chapman, the point guard body.

00;44;54;00 - 00;44;55;25

So that's why he's playing well with who?

00;44;55;25 - 00;44;58;08

Melo Melo. Carmelo is a true point guard.

00;44;58;18 - 00;45;01;21

He can just he just happens to be so big

and he can get a bucket.

00;45;07;19 - 00;45;08;03

Based

00;45;08;03 - 00;45;11;11

on the way

the point guard position is right now.

00;45;12;12 - 00;45;12;29

You think about

00;45;12;29 - 00;45;16;27

there aren't really that many true point

guys in the league.

00;45;17;06 - 00;45;20;04

John Mariani going to

where this Paul ain't going nowhere.

00;45;20;05 - 00;45;22;00

No, you know

00;45;22;07 - 00;45;23;29

the in fox.

00;45;24;07 - 00;45;27;25

And, you know, the air and Fox,

I think they are putting him up

00;45;27;25 - 00;45;31;27

to be traded now

because then it's just not working there.

00;45;31;27 - 00;45;34;09

I'm tripping, I'm tripping.

00;45;34;09 - 00;45;37;10

We know who they are, you know, who would

fit in perfectly with the Celtics.

00;45;37;25 - 00;45;40;05

But it's a hell of a price tag.

00;45;40;05 - 00;45;44;12

John Wall knew he would be perfect

for them.

00;45;44;13 - 00;45;45;26

Yes. Pushed the apple.

00;45;45;26 - 00;45;46;09

Yeah.

00;45;46;09 - 00;45;50;03

Up the floor, 94 feet, fours full speed

ahead, putting pressure on defense.

00;45;50;09 - 00;45;51;09

Looking for my shooters.

00;45;51;09 - 00;45;56;20

Yet everything here is that big, heavy,

heavy price tag, right?

00;45;56;21 - 00;45;58;21

You're right. You're right.

That'd be perfect.

00;45;58;21 - 00;46;01;08

I mean, John Wall would be perfect

for so many places right now.

00;46;01;20 - 00;46;01;28

Right.

00;46;01;28 - 00;46;04;03

And even though he's still healthy,

that'd be interesting.

00;46;04;15 - 00;46;06;11

That'd be interesting, man.

00;46;06;11 - 00;46;08;17

Yeah, that that makes them bigger

in the backcourt.

00;46;08;17 - 00;46;10;23

Yeah. Yeah, switch

a little bit more for sure.

00;46;11;02 - 00;46;14;15

And they got young big Robert Williams,

who's bouncy, you know,

00;46;14;15 - 00;46;18;14

and they still got Horford around

and they got guys interchangeable pieces.

00;46;18;22 - 00;46;20;13

And that's real good, man.

00;46;20;13 - 00;46;23;07

Hold on, Horford. Still, last year

he went back.

00;46;23;08 - 00;46;24;07

He getting it done.

00;46;24;07 - 00;46;26;17

You know, go back to what you know.

00;46;26;17 - 00;46;27;14

That's not bad.

00;46;27;14 - 00;46;28;29

I would love to see that.

00;46;28;29 - 00;46;30;28

Yeah, we'll see how that works.

00;46;30;28 - 00;46;32;24

No, we'll see how that happens.

00;46;32;24 - 00;46;34;03

See if the Celtics make happen.

00;46;34;03 - 00;46;36;20

John Wall or something and then be crazy.

00;46;37;01 - 00;46;38;20

Yeah, that's going to be a

that's going to be

00;46;38;20 - 00;46;40;01

that might be one of the trailers like,

00;46;40;01 - 00;46;41;14

I want to see

what people will say to you about.

00;46;41;14 - 00;46;46;10

But then they put when John Wall got hurt

one year in, the Celtics put them away

00;46;46;17 - 00;46;47;15

when they should have won.

00;46;48;15 - 00;46;49;22

And John Wall came back

00;46;49;22 - 00;46;52;29

throwing up a gang sign,

you know, all the window.

00;46;54;00 - 00;46;55;12

All right, we will keep an eye on that.

00;46;55;12 - 00;46;57;26

That's going to be getting interesting

over these next couple of weeks.

00;46;58;28 - 00;47;02;00

Let's

let's get to the elephant in the room.

00;47;02;00 - 00;47;04;13

Let me be clear to see

00;47;04;13 - 00;47;07;16

how everybody is dragging Russ.

00;47;07;16 - 00;47;10;20

You know, Russ,

I mean, I'm disappointed in play two

00;47;10;20 - 00;47;13;21

because we were 20 and 20.

00;47;13;21 - 00;47;15;22

It's not what I expected from this squad.

00;47;15;22 - 00;47;20;14

You know, I've been very clear

about everything, though my expectation

00;47;20;14 - 00;47;25;11

and everything I was looking forward

to was based on Anthony Davis, right?

00;47;25;12 - 00;47;28;10

I think Anthony

Davis is the key to everything.

00;47;28;10 - 00;47;31;21

He's the he's the medicine for the disease

and for his signature, right?

00;47;31;22 - 00;47;33;25

And I still stand by the. But

00;47;34;23 - 00;47;37;01

I'm here today and my Laker gear,

00;47;37;07 - 00;47;41;03

you know, since last NWA, you know,

I ain't brain.

00;47;41;21 - 00;47;45;09

I had the Oakland Institute

I kind of threw on through, but I'm there,

00;47;45;15 - 00;47;48;23

you know,

I can mix Oakland and L.A., though .

00;47;48;23 - 00;47;50;27

Yeah, but I know how is the raiders had.

00;47;51;11 - 00;47;55;05

You know, the Raiders is back and saying,

Okay, they might be in Vegas now.

00;47;55;05 - 00;47;59;06

So I don't watch football no more, but

I'm here because I ain't like most people.

00;47;59;07 - 00;48;03;17

I'm a Laker fan regardless of the season

of what's going on.

00;48;03;18 - 00;48;04;25

I'm here, right?

00;48;04;25 - 00;48;06;25

I'm here,

and I still think we can win it. two.

00;48;07;04 - 00;48;08;21

I still think we can win.

00;48;08;21 - 00;48;10;12

I still think we can be anybody.

00;48;10;12 - 00;48;11;23

I just going to see what, 80?

00;48;11;23 - 00;48;13;17

Or It's almost 80. That's it.

00;48;14;17 - 00;48;16;03

It's an interesting space.

00;48;16;03 - 00;48;18;05

You know, I'm saying I'm watching Bron.

00;48;18;05 - 00;48;20;21

The last two years,

my boy was just talking about

00;48;20;21 - 00;48;23;16

it was like, Yo bro, act

like nobody can talk trash talk.

00;48;24;01 - 00;48;27;12

I think Bron in this space now

because he's talking about, you know, just

00;48;27;14 - 00;48;30;17

rah rah and what people

I think Bron is raised now to is like.

00;48;31;26 - 00;48;35;14

People are looking at him as vulnerable,

but it ain't because of his play.

00;48;35;29 - 00;48;37;15

It's because it's team weak.

00;48;37;15 - 00;48;41;18

Yeah, people say like the people in, it's

nothing wrong with that.

00;48;42;11 - 00;48;44;15

As a young player,

you supposed to be barking

00;48;44;15 - 00;48;46;20

because you know

you're trying to take a spot.

00;48;46;20 - 00;48;50;25

But sometimes people forget, man,

and I know they talking

00;48;50;25 - 00;48;55;11

just because it's like, Yeah, yeah,

you going to lose because your team.

00;48;55;19 - 00;48;57;21

So I and Brian out of frustration.

00;48;58;02 - 00;49;01;19

He's he can't do it so much because people

forget Brian really from the mud.

00;49;01;22 - 00;49;03;16

So he's like, Oh, you're talking to right,

00;49;03;16 - 00;49;05;10

because we getting a

win, because usually he can.

00;49;06;24 - 00;49;09;09

But he the dolo.

00;49;09;09 - 00;49;12;06

Either they leave them with nothing

but League Monkey, mellow guy.

00;49;12;06 - 00;49;13;00

Next, best players.

00;49;13;00 - 00;49;13;24

And I think

00;49;13;28 - 00;49;15;20

it sounds a monkey smell of a bull

00;49;15;20 - 00;49;18;15

like bringing what they said

it was going to bring in being consistent.

00;49;18;18 - 00;49;19;07

It's probably been.

00;49;19;07 - 00;49;23;26

Only two has been been there,

you know, even with the wild rotations.

00;49;23;26 - 00;49;28;07

But we had a small four game win streak

that just got knocked out

00;49;28;07 - 00;49;30;21

and now we 21 and 20. What do you see?

00;49;30;22 - 00;49;34;02

I know I talk about like all the time,

but what do you see going forward?

00;49;35;20 - 00;49;37;11

You know, I've always said,

00;49;37;11 - 00;49;40;14

well, same thing you echo.

00;49;41;04 - 00;49;42;22

80 is the key.

00;49;42;22 - 00;49;45;04

80 comes back healthy.

00;49;46;04 - 00;49;48;05

Tough and aggressive.

00;49;49;11 - 00;49;51;11

I don't give a damn who's in the league

they can win.

00;49;51;28 - 00;49;52;28

That's just bottom line.

00;49;56;08 - 00;49;59;07

Rotations have to be solidified.

00;49;59;19 - 00;50;02;12

I know they've been dealing with a lot of

injuries and things like that, but

00;50;03;03 - 00;50;07;18

you know,

they got to find a way to get everybody

00;50;07;18 - 00;50;10;23

in a situation where they're comfortable

in their roles and their space.

00;50;11;03 - 00;50;12;25

They know exactly what they do now.

00;50;12;25 - 00;50;15;01

I do like the fact that

00;50;15;01 - 00;50;17;16

this sport is coming off the bench now.

00;50;18;01 - 00;50;20;19

You said and you said that

that's where he should be.

00;50;20;25 - 00;50;22;07

He comes off the bench.

00;50;22;07 - 00;50;23;29

He's still playing 30 minutes a game.

00;50;23;29 - 00;50;24;26

Yeah, you know, so

00;50;24;26 - 00;50;27;14

he's still getting touches and,

you know, reps and all this stuff.

00;50;29;05 - 00;50;33;23

Avery Bradley, I think, should probably be

coming off the bench and allow,

00;50;34;09 - 00;50;36;14

you know, Malik Monk has been starting,

I think, yeah,

00;50;36;25 - 00;50;41;13

but I think they need to put in

another young guy to go along with Monk.

00;50;41;14 - 00;50;42;22

You know, I keep forgetting

00;50;42;22 - 00;50;45;09

Kendrick Nunn is, you know,

yeah, he's going to be back soon.

00;50;45;12 - 00;50;46;04

Yeah.

00;50;46;04 - 00;50;50;05

And so like, I don't I don't know

what the hell Frank Vogel looking at.

00;50;50;05 - 00;50;51;09

When you look at Avery Bradley,

00;50;51;09 - 00;50;53;26

I still don't know why

he be playing so many minutes.

00;50;53;28 - 00;50;57;00

I think he is great in

like a spot rotational thing,

00;50;57;00 - 00;50;59;10

but now he'll be on the court.

00;50;59;10 - 00;51;01;23

Now he has been playing better,

00;51;02;00 - 00;51;04;27

but we all know

that's LeBron comes in. But.

00;51;05;29 - 00;51;07;09

Avery Bradley is better

00;51;07;09 - 00;51;11;02

in limited time because,

you know, he's a little bit older now.

00;51;11;04 - 00;51;13;05

This has been Avery Bradley

five years ago.

00;51;13;05 - 00;51;14;05

It's different, you know?

00;51;14;05 - 00;51;18;08

So I think they need to start infusing

their young guys who can still get it.

00;51;18;24 - 00;51;21;24

And they're hungry in there

with LeBron, those guys,

00;51;21;24 - 00;51;24;22

because we all know LeBron

is going to set them up for success.

00;51;25;04 - 00;51;27;06

And, you know, keep

bringing Melo off the bench.

00;51;27;06 - 00;51;28;17

Let him do his thing.

00;51;28;17 - 00;51;32;19

But you know, it's it's 80 rotations.

00;51;32;29 - 00;51;34;05

And that's it, man.

00;51;34;07 - 00;51;35;27

I mean, they're right there.

00;51;35;27 - 00;51;38;23

You know, use of the teams,

they be in the four game win streak.

00;51;39;03 - 00;51;41;01

Those are teams are supposed to be.

00;51;41;01 - 00;51;42;20

And so they're doing

what they're supposed to do

00;51;42;20 - 00;51;45;19

and it doesn't matter how you beat them

because it's 82 games, right?

00;51;45;20 - 00;51;47;10

You know what I'm saying? A win is a win.

00;51;47;10 - 00;51;50;06

You just want to make sure you survive

and, you know, keep guys healthy.

00;51;50;20 - 00;51;55;02

But in order to give them a chance

against the better teams they got to have,

00;51;55;11 - 00;51;57;25

they got to have some better fluidity

there.

00;51;58;04 - 00;51;59;25

I mean,

and I'm going to look at this camera.

00;51;59;25 - 00;52;01;19

I think you with me, with the two of you.

00;52;02;19 - 00;52;05;03

This my

my my message to Russell Westbrook.

00;52;06;22 - 00;52;09;00

Let's remember who you are.

00;52;09;29 - 00;52;12;11

Remember who you are right now.

00;52;12;12 - 00;52;17;11

We can tell that the confidence is is not

this wavering is wavering.

00;52;17;12 - 00;52;19;18

We can tell, we understand you.

00;52;19;22 - 00;52;21;19

I'm saying, you are home.

00;52;21;19 - 00;52;23;25

You are in L.A.

00;52;23;25 - 00;52;26;11

It's different people writing you off.

00;52;26;11 - 00;52;28;11

The media coverage is different.

00;52;28;11 - 00;52;30;12

But Big Dog, you are him.

00;52;31;02 - 00;52;32;18

You are one of one.

00;52;32;18 - 00;52;36;14

What you can do on a court that hasn't

been many to ever do that before.

00;52;36;23 - 00;52;38;04

It's going to come back.

00;52;38;04 - 00;52;40;27

You know, you are pleased with your play.

00;52;41;05 - 00;52;43;10

I'm not pleased with your play, whatever.

00;52;43;10 - 00;52;45;07

But you know how it is the game.

00;52;45;07 - 00;52;47;25

It goes and it comes,

but you just keep working.

00;52;48;00 - 00;52;50;10

But he had been playing better.

00;52;50;11 - 00;52;53;23

Yes, he's just got to stop pressing

so much, this man.

00;52;54;03 - 00;52;56;01

You out there, LeBron.

00;52;56;01 - 00;52;57;10

Things are going to be easier.

00;52;57;10 - 00;52;58;26

To just keep playing hard.

00;52;58;26 - 00;53;00;08

Don't press so much on offense.

00;53;00;08 - 00;53;01;07

You'll be fine. Right.

00;53;01;07 - 00;53;01;23

And no matter

00;53;01;23 - 00;53;05;25

what happens at the end of the season,

Russ, you are first ballot, right?

00;53;05;26 - 00;53;07;05

You are Famer.

00;53;07;05 - 00;53;08;26

Your legacy is season meant.

00;53;08;26 - 00;53;10;06

It is what it is.

00;53;10;06 - 00;53;13;02

All we're doing right now

is trying to win a chip, right?

00;53;13;03 - 00;53;15;00

You're going to get there.

We're going to get there.

00;53;15;00 - 00;53;16;06

Keep going on.

00;53;16;06 - 00;53;21;11

And while people on the sidelines talking

crazy or whatever, big dog, you got it in

00;53;21;16 - 00;53;25;05

2020, you've been in a league long enough

to notice the worry about those guys.

00;53;26;03 - 00;53;28;08

They're, you know, like, well,

00;53;28;09 - 00;53;32;00

you know, with the fights you pull out

before the game with confidence.

00;53;32;00 - 00;53;35;17

You be a one, you big dog. You got it.

00;53;35;17 - 00;53;38;24

If you pull up wearing that and survive

Charles Barkley.

00;53;39;18 - 00;53;41;08

Good man it. You will.

00;53;41;08 - 00;53;43;20

You grew up with Croatia,

00;53;43;23 - 00;53;45;28

you got a big dog,

00;53;45;28 - 00;53;48;23

but we got to talk about it,

Kyrie and Klay about

00;53;49;12 - 00;53;54;23

Kyrie and Klay of Back Brothers, Sunshine

and you know,

00;53;54;23 - 00;53;59;10

and the first, when you say, plays

bad men like Klay is back with their head.

00;53;59;10 - 00;54;01;23

Bam in that little afro. Yeah.

00;54;01;29 - 00;54;04;21

I swear to God in the way he wears size,

00;54;05;02 - 00;54;07;22

he looks like one of them dudes

from the tropics.

00;54;07;28 - 00;54;08;28

The tropics, man.

00;54;08;28 - 00;54;09;05

Yeah.

00;54;09;05 - 00;54;13;03

Well, that said, my Premiere Pro man,

I come on clay.

00;54;13;03 - 00;54;16;03

But for man, you know, I'm

so happy to see him back because it's

00;54;16;03 - 00;54;17;06

been so long, man.

00;54;17;06 - 00;54;20;15

It's been, they say, like 941 days

or something like that,

00;54;20;15 - 00;54;24;03

like when Clay was playing,

corona didn't exist.

00;54;24;21 - 00;54;27;04

You know, I'm saying like,

it was just a whole different vibe.

00;54;27;05 - 00;54;32;00

And in his last game, and he was

on the way to 60 in the finals, right?

00;54;32;23 - 00;54;35;04

He said, like,

I'm tired of being disrespected.

00;54;35;04 - 00;54;38;07

Like, I don't know, like all these

great conversations come up.

00;54;38;10 - 00;54;41;02

I don't see my name.

He was about to do it.

00;54;41;04 - 00;54;45;21

She is beautiful, is beautiful

for a floater league for the game.

00;54;46;19 - 00;54;48;08

You know, it's scary for everybody else.

00;54;48;08 - 00;54;49;15

They got to play against him

00;54;49;15 - 00;54;52;03

because he came back

looking like he dunking on people.

00;54;53;20 - 00;54;55;05

He knocked it like, you know,

00;54;55;05 - 00;54;57;24

like he was moving off the injury.

00;54;58;11 - 00;54;59;28

It's like anything. Ah.

00;54;59;28 - 00;55;03;17

I think that's one of those adrenaline

drains, though, as as a 67 dunk.

00;55;03;20 - 00;55;06;08

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00;55;06;08 - 00;55;07;17

He didn't get up over anybody.

00;55;07;17 - 00;55;09;12

He just have to get through them. So.

00;55;09;12 - 00;55;13;19

But I appreciate him doing it

because we don't really get up like that

00;55;13;20 - 00;55;14;28

one man and then didn't say

00;55;14;28 - 00;55;18;23

he got 18 shots or 22 shots in 18 minutes

or something like that.

00;55;19;00 - 00;55;20;11

So you gonna let it fly?

00;55;20;11 - 00;55;21;17

So it's exciting,

00;55;21;17 - 00;55;24;22

you know, especially with what

Golden State got poppin over there.

00;55;26;02 - 00;55;29;05

You know, we won't

we won't say too much about those guys.

00;55;29;15 - 00;55;30;29

You know, haters.

00;55;30;29 - 00;55;33;17

But but what do you

what do you look in this

00;55;33;17 - 00;55;36;01

ring on the wing, on gays over this week?

00;55;36;01 - 00;55;38;00

I was gonna ask, you doesn't say Steph

00;55;39;00 - 00;55;39;17

as whole

00;55;39;17 - 00;55;42;04

is going to say, I'm going to say

as a late.

00;55;43;07 - 00;55;45;15

He's his he's been armed in the clip,

00;55;45;22 - 00;55;48;06

but the target

ain't been getting hit that much.

00;55;48;20 - 00;55;53;03

So I'm just saying I I'm just saying

I've seen a few nights

00;55;53;03 - 00;55;57;07

where he's been like five for 19,

these for years, off for 21

00;55;57;07 - 00;56;01;16

when I mean, is he still MVP,

still MVP to still in the MVP talk?

00;56;01;19 - 00;56;06;24

You know, let LeBron or KD have a night,

not even four for 19.

00;56;06;24 - 00;56;10;03

Let them go 84, 21 for 20 or something

00;56;10;03 - 00;56;14;02

and have ten rebounds,

three blocks and twelve assists.

00;56;14;12 - 00;56;16;27

And actually, you're going to be like,

I'll be factual.

00;56;17;10 - 00;56;21;05

There was one night

where LeBron was seven for 15,

00;56;21;22 - 00;56;24;04

and somebody said he shot

terribly last night.

00;56;24;05 - 00;56;26;13

I was like one last miss.

00;56;26;13 - 00;56;31;01

He's 50% listen

and and and he still go rebound

00;56;31;07 - 00;56;34;15

and he's still going to assist

and he's still the leader.

00;56;34;28 - 00;56;36;28

Yeah. Same thing with KD, right?

00;56;36;29 - 00;56;40;26

Like people just getting used to,

but let Steph have some bad nights.

00;56;41;00 - 00;56;42;05

The media don't cover it.

00;56;42;05 - 00;56;45;03

But once he started zooming in

and shooting and turning around

00;56;45;03 - 00;56;50;10

and spinning around is all love and one

and one of our one time callers, T.J.

00;56;50;21 - 00;56;55;18

We can't stop texting me, man talking

about, and everybody is in trouble now.

00;56;55;19 - 00;56;58;19

You know, you hear him now when he's

talking, you know, because Clay's back.

00;56;58;19 - 00;57;00;16

So we'll see. We're going to see. Sure.

00;57;00;16 - 00;57;02;01

But I like it, though I like it.

00;57;02;01 - 00;57;05;21

But this Kyrie does

this show I've been waiting to see.

00;57;05;29 - 00;57;06;17

You know what I'm saying?

00;57;06;17 - 00;57;09;29

If you see this smile, KD had this face

and he's like, Oh, my boy is back.

00;57;09;29 - 00;57;11;29

Yeah, hard hardy too.

00;57;11;29 - 00;57;14;06

That's that's what scares me.

00;57;14;06 - 00;57;15;12

That's what scares me.

00;57;15;12 - 00;57;20;00

Because those three together

and now he plays the two.

00;57;20;20 - 00;57;22;14

Harden plays the one.

00;57;22;14 - 00;57;24;10

And then Katie does a Katie thing.

00;57;24;10 - 00;57;27;28

So and Patty Mills is doing

what Patty Mills is doing now.

00;57;27;28 - 00;57;29;01

He's Patty Patty.

00;57;29;01 - 00;57;31;08

Coming off the bench is a monster.

00;57;31;20 - 00;57;32;17

But he was having.

00;57;32;17 - 00;57;36;28

You see, he had some moments where he was

lights out, but then he ran out of gas.

00;57;37;02 - 00;57;38;19

You know, Patty getting old.

00;57;38;19 - 00;57;42;09

Patterson played

like: 8000

00;57;42;10 - 00;57;46;24

with Tony Parker and Kawhi

when I was a rookie.

00;57;47;19 - 00;57;48;22

Like, he been in there.

00;57;48;22 - 00;57;49;20

But you're right.

00;57;49;20 - 00;57;51;26

Like, it's a whole another space

now. What?

00;57;52;15 - 00;57;56;26

What is what are we looking forward to now

with Kyrie back, you know?

00;57;56;26 - 00;57;59;22

Well,

I feel some you know, I told you like I.

00;58;00;23 - 00;58;03;03

Love watching him play.

00;58;03;03 - 00;58;05;19

I do like the manner

that Chauncey Billups gave him

00;58;05;19 - 00;58;08;27

the most skill point guard ever,

I give him that question.

00;58;10;05 - 00;58;12;05

I still think they're going to have

trouble

00;58;12;21 - 00;58;16;23

building chemistry in tough games

because I don't care what anybody says.

00;58;16;23 - 00;58;22;04

When you have three guys of that magnitude

on offense and times get tough,

00;58;22;27 - 00;58;27;07

it's hard to figure out who does, who does

what, who's going to go in.

00;58;27;08 - 00;58;31;01

Because remember

when LeBron went to Miami with D Wade,

00;58;31;28 - 00;58;34;24

Chris Bosh took that that jersey.

00;58;34;24 - 00;58;37;25

But that first year in the finals, LeBron

00;58;37;25 - 00;58;41;03

and D Wade had issues

in terms of like, who's going to go?

00;58;41;08 - 00;58;45;01

And then, you know, D Wade basically

told them over the summer, Look, man,

00;58;45;02 - 00;58;46;12

yeah, you got it.

00;58;46;12 - 00;58;47;03

We got to lead.

00;58;47;03 - 00;58;49;28

You know, you got to lead the way. So.

00;58;49;28 - 00;58;51;02

You know,

00;58;51;07 - 00;58;54;10

but the difference is, with these three

guys, they're all still in their prime.

00;58;55;12 - 00;58;57;18

You know, they know age and attrition.

00;58;57;18 - 00;58;59;18

They're like,

all these guys can still boogie.

00;58;59;18 - 00;59;02;06

So who's going to take a step back?

00;59;02;14 - 00;59;07;17

You know, if it's down in the shot

clock is, is Harden going to piggyback

00;59;07;17 - 00;59;11;00

PDP, PDP, PDP in is just going spot

up, Katy's going spot up

00;59;11;14 - 00;59;12;18

with, you know, what are they going to do?

00;59;12;18 - 00;59;17;25

I do think I do think it will be

a little bit easier than that transition

00;59;17;25 - 00;59;23;24

that was made in in Miami

because the one thing we do know is that.

00;59;24;26 - 00;59;26;27

Hard and we'll find you right.

00;59;27;03 - 00;59;30;29

The fact that much like delay

when he said, Yo, Brian,

00;59;30;29 - 00;59;34;15

take the lead here, Corey said vulgarly

like look the ball

00;59;34;28 - 00;59;37;23

as far as point guards should be in James

Harden, his hands,

00;59;37;23 - 00;59;40;19

he makes better decisions

with like he's the point guard, right?

00;59;40;19 - 00;59;44;21

But but I think that I think that helps

at the end of the game, OK?

00;59;44;24 - 00;59;48;16

But I also think that what makes it

easier is his.

00;59;49;09 - 00;59;51;17

If they gave Nash

has to make the decision.

00;59;51;17 - 00;59;55;15

If Kyrie has said that he's

sticking to that, then it's no problem.

00;59;55;16 - 00;59;57;11

Yeah, but we've heard that before.

00;59;57;11 - 01;00;00;20

Remember Kyrie,

the same guy that left Cleveland

01;00;00;20 - 01;00;04;00

to go to Boston

because he says, I'm the missing piece.

01;00;04;01 - 01;00;06;13

They just need a true point guard, right?

01;00;06;14 - 01;00;10;15

He says, I want to prove to everybody

that I can be a true point guard.

01;00;10;16 - 01;00;12;13

Yeah, and he.

01;00;12;13 - 01;00;13;27

So so what? I'm that's what I'm saying.

01;00;13;27 - 01;00;16;15

Like, we don't know when times get tough,

what do you do?

01;00;16;15 - 01;00;19;03

What do you go back to? OK, well, that's

what I'm saying.

01;00;19;03 - 01;00;20;05

You go back to what you know,

01;00;20;05 - 01;00;24;08

but I think what makes it

different is in those easy money sniper.

01;00;24;08 - 01;00;28;01

Yeah, but I think I remember

no matter what the ball goes to him,

01;00;28;02 - 01;00;30;08

but we remember the.

01;00;30;08 - 01;00;32;04

There's been times before, whether it be

01;00;33;11 - 01;00;34;13

Golden State

01;00;34;13 - 01;00;38;23

or whether it be Oxy,

where sometimes Kevin Durant was the last

01;00;39;10 - 01;00;41;02

we were like, Yo, you see him down there

01;00;41;02 - 01;00;44;05

and that the last offensive

transition, he's 6:11.

01;00;44;25 - 01;00;46;15

But that's all I'm saying.

01;00;46;15 - 01;00;49;23

We've seen times before before Kyrie,

01;00;49;23 - 01;00;53;01

you know,

was dismissed somewhat or suspended.

01;00;53;01 - 01;00;56;03

I don't know whatever it was

for the COVID situation where.

01;00;57;24 - 01;00;59;25

Durand didn't touch the ball and was no.

01;00;59;25 - 01;01;02;07

He tried his best

to be politically correct.

01;01;02;20 - 01;01;04;08

But I'm just saying, but when the

01;01;04;08 - 01;01;07;28

when everything's on the line,

yeah, it's a little different.

01;01;07;28 - 01;01;09;10

So we still have to see them

01;01;09;10 - 01;01;11;22

get through those rough patches

because it ain't no just showing up

01;01;12;01 - 01;01;15;02

and everything straight because, you know,

they still got some other guys out

01;01;15;02 - 01;01;18;00

injured with injuries

that show Joe Harris, who was a big one.

01;01;18;04 - 01;01;21;27

But you know, that's

where we always talk about it, and that's

01;01;21;27 - 01;01;24;12

where a strong voice

as a coach is important.

01;01;24;29 - 01;01;28;21

And so I want to see

what Nash does in that space.

01;01;28;23 - 01;01;28;27

Yeah.

01;01;28;27 - 01;01;32;21

And you set those boundaries, too,

because they've got a strong assistant's

01;01;33;03 - 01;01;34;29

very strong coaching staff, you know?

01;01;34;29 - 01;01;36;29

So let's see what they do.

01;01;37;01 - 01;01;37;28

Let's see how that works.

01;01;37;28 - 01;01;39;29

But they got the work, you know?

01;01;39;29 - 01;01;41;18

I mean, they got that to deal with.

01;01;41;18 - 01;01;43;28

You know, we've seen a bad problem

to have.

01;01;44;08 - 01;01;47;16

And also, but how is

how are you going to play?

01;01;47;19 - 01;01;51;00

He can play everywhere

only away games, right?

01;01;51;00 - 01;01;55;13

And with their ten day situation,

when so many people going out of protocols

01;01;55;13 - 01;01;59;10

and everything, him

just playing in those away games for now

01;01;59;17 - 01;02;04;16

is is pretty much better than him just

sitting around and only going to have.

01;02;04;16 - 01;02;06;05

But they have a long,

01;02;06;05 - 01;02;10;26

they have a long stretch in these

next games where they're all away games.

01;02;10;29 - 01;02;13;19

So let me throw this out at you, though.

01;02;14;04 - 01;02;18;18

OK, so the play

start tomorrow and the first

01;02;19;17 - 01;02;21;27

first round is, say, Atlanta.

01;02;22;06 - 01;02;25;10

Yeah, I'm just saying

if Atlanta can get things together right,

01;02;25;12 - 01;02;27;03

they need to be dealing

with a lot of injuries.

01;02;27;03 - 01;02;29;26

All right.

Just so they're playing Atlanta.

01;02;29;26 - 01;02;31;20

first, the first two games in Brooklyn.

01;02;31;20 - 01;02;32;02

Right.

01;02;32;02 - 01;02;34;26

You can't play right,

but he can go to Atlanta and play.

01;02;34;28 - 01;02;35;22

Right, right.

01;02;35;22 - 01;02;39;20

OK, so you say they get through first

round, second round

01;02;40;03 - 01;02;42;04

and they got Milwaukee?

01;02;42;09 - 01;02;44;21

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

01;02;44;27 - 01;02;46;29

I mean, I don't know, I don't know.

01;02;47;00 - 01;02;47;13

I don't know.

01;02;47;13 - 01;02;48;19

They like like Katie, say,

01;02;48;19 - 01;02;50;28

Look, I'm not going to force them

to take the vaccine

01;02;50;28 - 01;02;52;26

or get them into that space

like and get it.

01;02;52;26 - 01;02;55;11

But you know, they're plant based coming.

01;02;55;21 - 01;02;59;08

The plant

based coming, so you said it's going to be

01;03;00;23 - 01;03;00;29

their

01;03;00;29 - 01;03;05;00

plant based, you know, they've said

that beyond the beyond burger

01;03;05;00 - 01;03;08;02

vaccine, come in the vaccines

we gonna use.

01;03;09;09 - 01;03;13;24

They say we're going to need a fourth

boost is that by the time we get those,

01;03;14;01 - 01;03;18;17

we're going to bullet holes in our arms

and they're going to be $3 billion richer.

01;03;20;00 - 01;03;22;22

So I'm just saying so when they get to,

01;03;22;22 - 01;03;26;14

I want to see what their plan is, and it's

probably driving Steve Nash crazy.

01;03;26;14 - 01;03;28;24

Like, What are they going to do against?

01;03;29;28 - 01;03;32;18

The home when they play home games

against us crazy.

01;03;32;26 - 01;03;35;28

What if they get to the finals

against Golden State or the Lakers?

01;03;36;00 - 01;03;39;12

I mean, come on, man,

you got to get a hold serve at home.

01;03;39;15 - 01;03;42;05

Yeah, that's home.

Court advantage is important.

01;03;42;05 - 01;03;43;23

So so Katie's saying right now,

01;03;43;23 - 01;03;45;26

I'm not going to force him into anything,

but I guarantee you

01;03;46;24 - 01;03;50;07

let them fall below expectations.

01;03;50;26 - 01;03;53;17

Something to be done this offseason

for show it has.

01;03;53;20 - 01;03;56;09

Do it have to be

because you play with people's careers

01;03;56;09 - 01;03;58;04

now because you say it's

business is business?

01;03;58;04 - 01;03;59;12

Yeah, yeah, I'm saying,

01;03;59;12 - 01;04;02;10

but I think I think inevitably

something will be

01;04;02;24 - 01;04;05;04

something will happen

and there will be some type of compromise

01;04;05;04 - 01;04;09;02

or there will be a plant based vaccine

that he feels comfortable taking out.

01;04;09;16 - 01;04;11;17

Last question on this.

01;04;11;17 - 01;04;15;26

There are one or two other NBA cities

that you can't play in, right?

01;04;15;26 - 01;04;18;07

Toronto San Fran is that one?

01;04;18;07 - 01;04;20;15

I'm not sure,

but I know Toronto for sure. So, yeah, so

01;04;22;09 - 01;04;23;11

a shout out

01;04;23;11 - 01;04;26;19

free of Land V out porting, tortured

01;04;26;19 - 01;04;29;28

and then like on a six game win streak,

he is torching the league

01;04;31;00 - 01;04;33;12

and we like to see that

another one of those underdogs

01;04;33;12 - 01;04;35;05

and he is all game going out.

01;04;35;05 - 01;04;36;17

I always,

01;04;36;19 - 01;04;39;23

whenever I see him play, I always say he's

a better version of Patty Mills.

01;04;40;00 - 01;04;43;00

Mm yeah. And he just about game, right?

01;04;43;01 - 01;04;44;06

You know, he had an opportunity

01;04;44;06 - 01;04;47;11

to go somewhere else, and all season,

the Knicks should have tried harder,

01;04;47;29 - 01;04;51;14

but he stayed in Toronto,

which I think was the best move for him to

01;04;51;22 - 01;04;53;05

so he can continue to grow.

01;04;53;05 - 01;04;55;21

And he could have grown in New York,

for sure.

01;04;56;23 - 01;04;59;14

But now it is right,

you know, it's a different space.

01;04;59;14 - 01;05;01;17

He like his continuity there,

and that's a great coach

01;05;01;17 - 01;05;04;17

and they got over there and indignities

too, for sure.

01;05;04;18 - 01;05;05;10

Yeah, lightning.

01;05;05;10 - 01;05;07;10

And you notice you don't want to like,

01;05;07;10 - 01;05;10;08

I think that's even more rare

having coaches that you like

01;05;10;08 - 01;05;12;12

and that are solid,

that you can stick around.

01;05;12;23 - 01;05;14;29

That's

that's not something you take for granted.

01;05;15;23 - 01;05;16;14

All right.

01;05;16;14 - 01;05;18;21

You know, we we don't talk about

01;05;19;21 - 01;05;22;11

football, much of the pie.

01;05;22;11 - 01;05;24;07

Not because, you know, we are.

01;05;24;07 - 01;05;26;24

I haven't watched in a field

like full years five yet.

01;05;27;10 - 01;05;29;18

Yeah, rightfully so.

Because you were a cowboys fan.

01;05;29;18 - 01;05;30;11

A little too long.

01;05;30;11 - 01;05;33;25

I I I jump ship a long time ago.

01;05;33;26 - 01;05;35;23

You know, if I do, I'm still I'm.

01;05;35;23 - 01;05;38;26

You might see me

pop up on all the cowboy hats and cowboys.

01;05;38;26 - 01;05;40;24

Not a cowboy hat like a cowboy.

01;05;40;24 - 01;05;44;12

Dallas Cowboy Football has

so because they are playing well

01;05;44;12 - 01;05;49;05

and you know, the NFL is NFL,

so I necessarily, you know, support. But.

01;05;50;05 - 01;05;55;00

College football is big, always a big fan

of college football, and, you know,

01;05;55;00 - 01;05;59;07

we do know we talking about when we do

come around to the football field .

01;05;59;07 - 01;05;59;26

We do know

01;06;00;28 - 01;06;01;16

my mom.

01;06;01;16 - 01;06;04;07

We've been watching football

since I was born.

01;06;05;06 - 01;06;08;02

But somebody made the headlines,

01;06;08;14 - 01;06;12;17

you know, every podcast, every outlet,

everybody's been talking about it

01;06;12;18 - 01;06;16;23

and like, and I know, I know this is you

a football guy for sure.

01;06;16;27 - 01;06;18;23

You talk about taking tailgating

and stuff.

01;06;18;23 - 01;06;22;15

But Abe, maybe Anthony bro.

01;06;22;23 - 01;06;25;27

I mean, Anthony Brown to Antonio Brown.

01;06;26;08 - 01;06;28;12

Antonio Brown.

01;06;28;25 - 01;06;30;14

I mean, he had a he had a nice accent.

01;06;30;14 - 01;06;36;03

I've never seen anybody walk out of work

like that before, like, you know who was?

01;06;36;15 - 01;06;37;29

I would you quit your job?

01;06;37;29 - 01;06;42;11

You know, he he quit his job the same way.

01;06;42;12 - 01;06;46;03

Dave Chappelle

quit his job when he found out

01;06;46;03 - 01;06;48;18

Oprah was pregnant with his baby.

01;06;48;18 - 01;06;50;28

That's exactly how he exited.

01;06;50;28 - 01;06;52;10

And that's a dream, right?

01;06;52;10 - 01;06;56;27

When he, when he quit,

totally synchronizes with, Oh man, why?

01;06;56;27 - 01;06;58;28

And I think that you know what I'm saying.

01;06;58;28 - 01;07;01;00

So like,

I got to give him an A-plus for that.

01;07;01;00 - 01;07;03;08

And then he quit and dropped the record.

01;07;03;13 - 01;07;07;02

I say, you know, that's the best rollout

I've seen from anybody in the last,

01;07;07;02 - 01;07;08;13

like twelve months. six.

01;07;08;13 - 01;07;10;20

He was like,

That's a perfect album. Roll out.

01;07;10;29 - 01;07;12;08

He he quit,

01;07;12;08 - 01;07;16;14

went to New York in the Diamond District

and filmed the video and dropped the song.

01;07;17;03 - 01;07;18;04

On the next day.

01;07;18;04 - 01;07;21;06

It was like, Yo,

I'm from the pit at the palace.

01;07;22;05 - 01;07;24;26

And then he

not giving too much credit for that video.

01;07;25;18 - 01;07;28;26

We give it credit for the effort

for making it become trash.

01;07;29;15 - 01;07;32;00

But like all jokes aside, right?

01;07;32;24 - 01;07;37;00

And I've seen the football players, his

peers and stuff talked about it, you know?

01;07;37;11 - 01;07;39;10

You know,

you see the jokes about CTE, man.

01;07;39;10 - 01;07;40;27

I mean, going crazy.

01;07;40;27 - 01;07;44;11

You know, we've heard

there's a Reddit and Discord

01;07;44;11 - 01;07;47;25

chain talking about all of the events

in his career.

01;07;48;07 - 01;07;50;15

I mean, Amy is a wild boy.

01;07;50;15 - 01;07;53;25

Like, call it what you call it,

maybe CTE may not be,

01;07;53;25 - 01;07;57;08

but the boy is while

his resume says it for himself.

01;07;57;09 - 01;08;01;22

But in football terminology, he's

one of the greatest wide receivers.

01;08;03;05 - 01;08;04;02

For sure.

01;08;04;02 - 01;08;09;00

Anything on the field here is undeniable,

undeniable, undeniable.

01;08;09;10 - 01;08;15;10

And for the crazy stuff that he I think

his on the field play speaks even louder.

01;08;15;11 - 01;08;16;22

When you think about the stuff

01;08;16;22 - 01;08;20;12

that he's done off the field, he's

still able to play.

01;08;20;15 - 01;08;21;12

Right, right.

01;08;21;12 - 01;08;26;23

But the the only thing like normally,

if you're on the field,

01;08;26;23 - 01;08;31;05

play is so great you can normally skate

by with your other stuff.

01;08;31;06 - 01;08;33;26

You're off the

field antics. It's just that.

01;08;35;13 - 01;08;37;16

He's so wild off the field.

01;08;38;24 - 01;08;41;11

That it overshadows

what he does on the field sometime.

01;08;41;17 - 01;08;43;23

And that's where that's

I mean, come on, man, like

01;08;44;20 - 01;08;48;10

let's think about in basketball,

you know, basketball perspective.

01;08;48;11 - 01;08;51;05

Dennis Romney's to wear a dress.

01;08;51;05 - 01;08;52;26

You are you wear a wedding gown.

01;08;52;26 - 01;08;56;01

Then I had a different haircut,

you know, going to Chicago.

01;08;56;02 - 01;08;59;02

These are billboards of Dennis,

and every day his hair would be different.

01;08;59;04 - 01;09;02;09

I mean, it's crazy, but it didn't.

01;09;02;11 - 01;09;05;24

How can I say it

didn't affect the team and football more

01;09;06;26 - 01;09;08;17

more than any other sport?

01;09;08;17 - 01;09;10;22

It's a team sport, for sure.

01;09;10;22 - 01;09;13;18

And maybe just take it a little too far

sometimes.

01;09;14;01 - 01;09;16;00

And, well, a lot of times.

01;09;16;00 - 01;09;17;25

And you know,

you just get to a point where you burn

01;09;17;25 - 01;09;20;04

bridges, man, and people get tired

of it, you know, because

01;09;21;22 - 01;09;23;27

you know, he's

so great that they were depending on him.

01;09;24;17 - 01;09;27;06

And when somebody

when someone can depend on you,

01;09;28;16 - 01;09;30;27

no matter how great you are,

they're like, You know what?

01;09;30;27 - 01;09;32;12

I'm stick with the percentages, OK?

01;09;32;12 - 01;09;33;00

I mean.

01;09;33;00 - 01;09;35;21

Well, so now we have more information.

01;09;35;21 - 01;09;39;20

Do what we did

when we first saw the video of him

01;09;40;12 - 01;09;42;28

running off, have naked,

you know, saying whatever.

01;09;43;08 - 01;09;45;16

So where it came out at the end?

01;09;46;06 - 01;09;51;03

Bruce Arians was asking him

to play on an ankle that wasn't good.

01;09;51;09 - 01;09;53;17

You know, his ankle was messed up.

01;09;53;18 - 01;09;54;24

He showed pictures of it.

01;09;54;24 - 01;09;56;29

You know, they talk about the shot

that they try to get him

01;09;57;06 - 01;09;59;26

sent him to Tom Brady's doctor

or whatever to get him to play.

01;09;59;26 - 01;10;03;09

He while it's not working

and you know the turf here, you know,

01;10;03;14 - 01;10;08;13

when you play professionally, college

anywhere, when you go on a roll,

01;10;08;26 - 01;10;12;11

there are certain gyms,

you'd be like, Yo, this despite this gym

01;10;12;15 - 01;10;14;16

or certain turf, like,

you know, like, look,

01;10;14;16 - 01;10;17;17

I ain't going to be able to make it off

here in his New York Jets place.

01;10;17;17 - 01;10;21;14

And you know, you know,

this is seat that he showed a text message

01;10;21;14 - 01;10;25;04

where he told coach like, Look,

I'm trying, but it ain't going to work.

01;10;25;05 - 01;10;26;21

Playoffs coming around a corner.

01;10;26;21 - 01;10;30;06

I can see it and go and I and they confirm

01;10;30;06 - 01;10;33;09

that, you know, Bruce Arians

cut him on the sideline.

01;10;33;10 - 01;10;38;08

And with that said, not just this

incident, isolated and anything else.

01;10;38;11 - 01;10;41;20

And so just this incident

isolated like that.

01;10;42;14 - 01;10;46;20

But also there was other there was other

I saw I heard

01;10;46;21 - 01;10;49;26

you were talking about, but also heard

additional stuff with that as well.

01;10;50;09 - 01;10;50;27

Where?

01;10;52;23 - 01;10;55;19

Bruce talked to him about all this.

01;10;55;19 - 01;10;58;28

And then, you know how it goes.

01;10;59;01 - 01;11;01;02

If you suit up

01;11;01;02 - 01;11;04;04

and you say you're ready to go.

01;11;04;05 - 01;11;08;17

You it's up to you to let the training

staff know that you are dead.

01;11;08;18 - 01;11;10;22

You know, I mean, I tried, I'm done.

01;11;11;02 - 01;11;12;25

And he didn't do that.

You know what I mean?

01;11;12;25 - 01;11;16;21

And so if if they're telling you,

you know, they're calling you.

01;11;16;21 - 01;11;20;09

No, you don't go in and you're not

and you're not like saying,

01;11;20;10 - 01;11;23;22

Oh, I'm I'm done like, I can't go, what?

01;11;23;23 - 01;11;24;20

I there.

01;11;24;20 - 01;11;27;22

They're thinking that you just Abbi's up

to his antics again.

01;11;27;22 - 01;11;30;10

You see something

because you have no leg to stand on.

01;11;30;10 - 01;11;32;15

And so that's my point.

01;11;32;15 - 01;11;34;04

And when you look back at it?

01;11;35;07 - 01;11;38;08

He was targeted early in the game. And.

01;11;39;18 - 01;11;42;19

The thing is,

like everybody is going to scrutinize

01;11;43;09 - 01;11;48;03

what you look like, how you reacted

after those targets and you look fine.

01;11;48;04 - 01;11;51;17

And so when you say

when you're standing on the side

01;11;51;29 - 01;11;54;14

and you kind of off yourself

and you're like,

01;11;54;14 - 01;11;55;28

I like this, you know what I'm saying?

01;11;55;28 - 01;11;59;12

And so that kind of it just doesn't,

you know, we talk about body language

01;11;59;12 - 01;12;02;11

all the time and you know,

and when you have a bad record,

01;12;02;17 - 01;12;05;13

come on me, you know, the first thing

something happens,

01;12;05;13 - 01;12;06;13

something bad happens to

01;12;06;13 - 01;12;09;12

everybody thinks about all the things

that led up to this point. Yes.

01;12;09;19 - 01;12;13;16

And so he unfortunately,

whether or not he was wrong.

01;12;14;17 - 01;12;17;06

Or Bruce Arians is wrong, right?

01;12;18;03 - 01;12;21;24

I'm sorry in a court of law,

he's he he got a leg to stand on.

01;12;22;03 - 01;12;25;18

And then, you know,

you got the night before he's knocked.

01;12;25;18 - 01;12;27;28

The chicken is spot, right? Which

01;12;29;20 - 01;12;29;29

was just

01;12;29;29 - 01;12;32;27

crazy, but he was so careless with it.

01;12;33;07 - 01;12;35;20

He let her take pictures

and stuff of everything.

01;12;35;23 - 01;12;37;26

Yeah, you know what I'm saying?

And then got him.

01;12;38;06 - 01;12;40;06

Supposedly, I got it. I got to find it.

01;12;40;21 - 01;12;41;18

You know, we over here.

01;12;41;18 - 01;12;44;25

It was kind of hard where she was

recording him, saying,

01;12;44;25 - 01;12;46;21

Why should I do tomorrow?

01;12;46;21 - 01;12;49;24

Well, you know, I'm saying so like,

come on, man.

01;12;50;09 - 01;12;52;10

And then she got covered

01;12;54;00 - 01;12;54;10

for that.

01;12;54;10 - 01;12;56;22

And and.

01;12;56;22 - 01;12;57;01

Right.

01;12;57;01 - 01;13;00;06

And he got the fake COVID vaccine card.

01;13;00;12 - 01;13;02;29

Yeah. So like what I'm saying is, well,

01;13;02;29 - 01;13;05;07

you know,

and then you go on the podcast, right?

01;13;05;12 - 01;13;08;18

Well, and now

and I don't like what he did to Brady.

01;13;08;29 - 01;13;11;29

Yeah, I was about to go to expand

that on Brady, right,

01;13;12;16 - 01;13;14;10

saying, like,

why am I playing on a prove it?

01;13;14;10 - 01;13;15;17

It will.

01;13;15;17 - 01;13;17;15

Brady didn't get you on a prove a deal.

01;13;17;15 - 01;13;19;14

You got yourself on prove a deal.

01;13;19;14 - 01;13;20;03

You know what I'm saying?

01;13;20;03 - 01;13;23;16

If anything, Brady gave you a chance

back in the league because what did he do?

01;13;23;16 - 01;13;25;03

I think he only had to play one game

01;13;25;03 - 01;13;28;21

in Oakland to get how much money is 30

million guaranteed.

01;13;28;27 - 01;13;31;11

You just had to line up like one more.

01;13;31;22 - 01;13;35;00

But then, you know, the funny

thing is like everybody is giving,

01;13;35;24 - 01;13;36;29

I come back to Brady.

01;13;36;29 - 01;13;38;29

Everybody's

giving Gruden a hard time, right?

01;13;40;14 - 01;13;41;12

Because of those emails,

01;13;41;12 - 01;13;44;06

right, but we all know that the owner said

far worse than grounded.

01;13;44;14 - 01;13;45;29

No, this is real.

01;13;45;29 - 01;13;48;20

But Gruden gave you a chance

01;13;49;09 - 01;13;53;14

and you video you recorded everything

and you come on, man.

01;13;53;22 - 01;13;54;26

So now

01;13;55;12 - 01;13;58;25

you just lost some of the trust

in the locker room

01;13;58;25 - 01;14;00;13

that Gruden had with

some of the other players

01;14;00;13 - 01;14;03;20

because he's trying to cater to you

to help you out.

01;14;04;03 - 01;14;06;07

And so and then again, 30 million.

01;14;06;19 - 01;14;08;15

This is this is line up, line up.

01;14;08;15 - 01;14;09;21

So you screw that up.

01;14;09;21 - 01;14;10;09

All right.

01;14;10;09 - 01;14;13;25

Now, going back to Brady,

he says, I don't have no Brady

01;14;14;28 - 01;14;16;22

publicize

the fact that I was staying in his house.

01;14;16;22 - 01;14;18;05

I got my own money.

01;14;18;05 - 01;14;21;00

first of all, Brady's and publicized.

01;14;21;15 - 01;14;25;10

second of all, he didn't have to do that

because I'm going to be real with you.

01;14;25;10 - 01;14;26;21

I'm an African-American.

01;14;28;04 - 01;14;29;03

I don't have any money.

01;14;29;03 - 01;14;30;07

I'm broke.

01;14;30;07 - 01;14;31;21

And you are a celebrity.

01;14;31;21 - 01;14;34;08

You're a big time athlete. You're rich.

01;14;35;08 - 01;14;37;20

I wouldn't let you near my family.

01;14;37;20 - 01;14;38;22

I'm just being real.

01;14;38;22 - 01;14;40;23

I'm too. I was. You are my kid.

01;14;40;23 - 01;14;43;16

No, I'm saying like, because I see my kid

do that little league.

01;14;43;16 - 01;14;45;09

I'm a choke, you know, I'm saying so.

01;14;45;09 - 01;14;48;11

So Brady did go out on a limb for you,

01;14;48;11 - 01;14;51;21

and he brought you into a situation

that was very fragile.

01;14;52;00 - 01;14;54;17

And what I mean by fragile is

01;14;54;17 - 01;14;57;05

Brady had one year

01;14;57;26 - 01;15;00;08

to get it right to try to win a Super Bowl

01;15;00;17 - 01;15;04;04

where he was in charge,

and he kind of took LeBron's role.

01;15;04;04 - 01;15;06;15

We're like, Y'all want me to come there?

01;15;06;15 - 01;15;09;23

Y'all got to give me a chance to like,

bring my own guys in.

01;15;09;24 - 01;15;11;24

Right? And Tampa Bay did that.

01;15;12;05 - 01;15;16;11

And so you he brought you in

when no one else would touch you.

01;15;16;29 - 01;15;18;03

Yeah, I got a Super Bowl.

01;15;18;03 - 01;15;21;02

So don't say he.

Usually you use each other.

01;15;21;02 - 01;15;24;10

And on a last game of the season

last year,

01;15;24;10 - 01;15;27;24

he made sure he got his seven catches

to get his bonus short.

01;15;27;25 - 01;15;31;27

This man thing he did with Gronk,

but this is a massive song

01;15;32;11 - 01;15;36;23

and this town that's been going on in

professional sports forever, right?

01;15;36;24 - 01;15;38;18

But you say

you don't look out for you, right?

01;15;38;18 - 01;15;42;17

But he specifically seven targets

to make sure you got two right?

01;15;42;26 - 01;15;45;02

But again,

you didn't even have a check, right?

01;15;45;14 - 01;15;48;09

So you got we know you got money already,

but you would have been if you didn't.

01;15;48;10 - 01;15;50;06

If Tom didn't give you a chance,

01;15;50;06 - 01;15;52;29

you'd been blowing through

dough that you already made.

01;15;52;29 - 01;15;55;07

Now you're blowing through dough,

that's new money.

01;15;55;07 - 01;15;56;27

So come on, man. Like, stop.

01;15;56;27 - 01;15;58;18

You can't do that man. And it's just.

01;16;00;06 - 01;16;01;27

You know, when

01;16;01;27 - 01;16;04;02

we also see says you might be crazy

01;16;05;08 - 01;16;08;07

and that's your dog, too,

you might be crazy, you know , it's a dog.

01;16;09;01 - 01;16;11;28

And we want to like we try hard

01;16;12;04 - 01;16;15;24

to support a

to all all of the within our community

01;16;15;24 - 01;16;19;20

still trying to like,

come on, baby, come on, man.

01;16;19;20 - 01;16;22;28

Like when you look at

how terror always got vilified.

01;16;23;23 - 01;16;27;03

And so just bringing the Sharpie

out on the football right

01;16;27;04 - 01;16;28;14

and how people were talking about,

01;16;28;14 - 01;16;30;16

I hate him,

I wouldn't want him to be a role model.

01;16;30;16 - 01;16;34;07

My kids, whatever and how he couldn't

get into the Hall of Fame.

01;16;34;17 - 01;16;38;08

And he could be arguably the best,

obviously ever or whatever price

01;16;38;08 - 01;16;39;20

you play right now.

01;16;39;20 - 01;16;44;12

You talk about Joe Sinco

and how he got vilified for entertaining

01;16;44;15 - 01;16;49;02

that he did never disrespected

the brand of football or anything.

01;16;49;16 - 01;16;54;12

And like he, those two guys

open up the lane for you to be yourself.

01;16;54;25 - 01;16;57;09

Right? Even more so than what primetime?

01;16;57;27 - 01;16;59;12

And they came in.

01;17;01;19 - 01;17;04;07

Those guys came in in

01;17;04;07 - 01;17;08;15

in organizations

that weren't as nurturing as Pittsburgh.

01;17;08;26 - 01;17;11;28

For those

who don't know the Rooney family,

01;17;12;11 - 01;17;14;29

I don't know what they do

outside of that outside of football.

01;17;15;07 - 01;17;19;06

But in terms of football, they're

one of the best organizations ever, right?

01;17;19;07 - 01;17;21;21

You know, when you

when you sign a contract there, the coach,

01;17;22;10 - 01;17;25;03

you don't have to worry about stressing,

Man, am I going to be fired?

01;17;25;03 - 01;17;25;20

And you're three?

01;17;25;20 - 01;17;28;02

Nah, they're going to give you a chance

to get it together,

01;17;28;09 - 01;17;30;04

and they're going to make sure

you have the best players

01;17;30;04 - 01;17;33;27

and in management resources

and everything you need to be successful.

01;17;34;08 - 01;17;37;07

And you know that that organization.

01;17;37;09 - 01;17;43;06

Mike Tomlin and young

African-American coach went out of his way

01;17;43;17 - 01;17;46;29

to make sure you had everything

you needed to be successful.

01;17;47;06 - 01;17;47;27

And what did you do?

01;17;47;27 - 01;17;50;12

You burned him. And let's talk about Mike

Tomlin, right?

01;17;50;19 - 01;17;54;25

Mike Tomlin

officially in his 15th straight year

01;17;55;02 - 01;17;57;25

of having a windy,

avoiding a losing season.

01;17;57;26 - 01;17;58;23

Right, right.

01;17;58;23 - 01;18;01;03

He's already

got a Super Bowl under his belt,

01;18;01;11 - 01;18;03;22

where he got

two Super Bowls under his belt.

01;18;03;22 - 01;18;06;25

He hasn't had a losing season

since he's been there,

01;18;07;01 - 01;18;10;03

and he's been dealing with what he had.

01;18;10;03 - 01;18;11;21

Maybe nine years or something like that.

01;18;11;21 - 01;18;12;06

Yeah.

01;18;12;06 - 01;18;16;25

Like, you just talk about how great

that is and how he should be an example

01;18;17;01 - 01;18;19;27

for how black coaches

should be given a chance.

01;18;19;27 - 01;18;22;11

Because Brian Flores,

I believe his name is from Miami.

01;18;22;11 - 01;18;25;22

Miami just got fired

at the end in the season eight and one

01;18;26;07 - 01;18;28;22

where he hasn't had

where they actually won,

01;18;28;22 - 01;18;32;03

I think seven of the last eight

or something like that, right?

01;18;32;11 - 01;18;34;20

And he hasn't had a healthy quarterback.

01;18;34;29 - 01;18;35;26

Right.

01;18;35;29 - 01;18;40;04

Miami itself is a

is a dysfunctional organization period,

01;18;40;15 - 01;18;42;22

and he let him go

because it's a short leash.

01;18;42;22 - 01;18;43;12

Yeah.

01;18;43;12 - 01;18;46;04

So before

I want to make sure I got everything right

01;18;46;04 - 01;18;49;00

because I have somebody,

text me on the sideline, man, you are

01;18;50;03 - 01;18;51;06

. Mike Tomlin

01;18;51;06 - 01;18;54;26

has seven division titles,

nine playoff runs.

01;18;55;17 - 01;18;57;06

No losing seasons ever.

01;18;57;06 - 01;18;58;13

two Super Bowl appearances.

01;18;58;13 - 01;19;02;27

And he has one title,

but he won a Super Bowl at age 36.

01;19;03;04 - 01;19;03;25

Come on, man.

01;19;03;25 - 01;19;06;08

And so, you know, he's a former player.

01;19;07;23 - 01;19;10;17

The way he looks, he could probably play

a couple of minutes now.

01;19;11;08 - 01;19;14;10

And so these boxes, you know,

they let the celebrity boxes.

01;19;16;03 - 01;19;19;17

So, you know, he's a guy

that when I was away not only for Abby,

01;19;19;17 - 01;19;20;21

but Lavon Bell.

01;19;20;21 - 01;19;23;14

And and so and you guys went other places,

01;19;23;14 - 01;19;26;00

you didn't have as much success

and then had to say.

01;19;26;00 - 01;19;29;11

And you know, it

just so now you got to understand like

01;19;30;23 - 01;19;33;18

these, some of the other people

01;19;33;18 - 01;19;35;29

are going to have

the same tolerance for you

01;19;35;29 - 01;19;38;03

because they have no idea

where you come from.

01;19;38;13 - 01;19;42;01

Exactly, you know, and so, you know,

you can't put this on this

01;19;42;01 - 01;19;45;15

at all times and on Gronk, the saying,

I'll be a U.S.

01;19;45;15 - 01;19;48;25

Open Mike Tomlin this,

you know, saying on Gruden in the lake.

01;19;48;25 - 01;19;54;02

I mean, if anything, if you are if you're

a borderline criminal, you play football.

01;19;54;03 - 01;19;54;28

You go to the Raiders.

01;19;54;28 - 01;19;57;04

So this is so

you went there and messed that up.

01;19;57;04 - 01;19;58;29

You know, you went to Belichick.

01;19;58;29 - 01;20;01;25

You know, Belichick wouldn't touch you

if Brady wasn't there.

01;20;02;12 - 01;20;02;29

Come on now.

01;20;02;29 - 01;20;05;21

So you, Abby, this is on you, man.

01;20;06;04 - 01;20;08;22

You know, and I think that

you will get another chance.

01;20;09;25 - 01;20;10;15

I hope you do.

01;20;10;15 - 01;20;13;13

But I mean, either way,

he got the album coming.

01;20;13;22 - 01;20;16;12

I think he might be in the studio with Fab

and Jim Jones.

01;20;16;21 - 01;20;19;05

I think I seen him when the pick with Meek

Mill.

01;20;19;19 - 01;20;23;02

So, you know, you just brought

their brand of music down.

01;20;23;04 - 01;20;24;08

No, it's not on me.

01;20;24;08 - 01;20;27;02

The picture

the public is public record man, he said.

01;20;27;02 - 01;20;30;16

He says they tune from the pit

and at the palace.

01;20;33;12 - 01;20;34;17

Oh no.

01;20;34;17 - 01;20;36;24

We keep pushing the Big Dog, keep pushing.

01;20;38;12 - 01;20;39;24

Episode nine.

01;20;39;24 - 01;20;41;28

I think it's time to wrap it up right

there.

01;20;41;28 - 01;20;43;22

Maybe it's time to wrap it up, man.

01;20;43;22 - 01;20;46;04

As you guys know, we back with it.

01;20;46;04 - 01;20;47;26

Post-Game wrap up.

01;20;47;26 - 01;20;50;14

We'll leave you guys

with some words of encouragement.

01;20;50;14 - 01;20;51;19

Some words of wisdom.

01;20;51;19 - 01;20;53;05

Couple of gems in there.

01;20;53;05 - 01;20;54;29

What do you what you got?

01;20;55;00 - 01;20;58;05

I just got a note

this past morning at 5:00 a.m.

01;20;58;05 - 01;20;59;00

to watch the

01;21;00;13 - 01;21;01;04

College Football

01;21;01;04 - 01;21;04;27

Championship between University of Georgia

and University of Alabama.

01;21;04;27 - 01;21;08;10

And even though I'm from Georgia,

I was rooting for Alabama

01;21;08;26 - 01;21;13;21

because I really, really like Nick Saban

and in the way he runs his program.

01;21;14;03 - 01;21;16;20

But I'm happy

that you got a chance to win.

01;21;16;21 - 01;21;17;21

They deserve it.

01;21;17;21 - 01;21;20;00

They were the best team all year.

01;21;20;00 - 01;21;22;29

Alabama was able to come through

with all the injuries

01;21;22;29 - 01;21;25;02

and all the young guys

and make it to the title game

01;21;25;02 - 01;21;26;26

and actually win a SEC championship.

01;21;26;26 - 01;21;30;09

So shout out to both of those teams,

as you see, is

01;21;31;05 - 01;21;33;19

definitely the best college

football conference.

01;21;34;13 - 01;21;36;19

But I'm taking something from Nick Saban

01;21;36;19 - 01;21;39;26

that I basically I posted on my wall.

01;21;40;12 - 01;21;42;26

Like, maybe two weeks ago, he had a quote

01;21;43;00 - 01;21;46;10

that he was telling his guys

when they were little down on themselves

01;21;46;24 - 01;21;51;17

after a loss early in the year, he said,

We didn't come this far to get this far.

01;21;52;19 - 01;21;54;16

And so that was profound for me

01;21;54;16 - 01;21;58;26

because it's like it kind of equates

to what we're doing here in Dubai, where,

01;21;59;19 - 01;22;01;29

you know, you had plans

01;22;01;29 - 01;22;05;02

set for the next

five to five years of your life.

01;22;05;23 - 01;22;08;13

I give you a call and throw

01;22;08;13 - 01;22;12;05

something else at you and you pivot

and you take a chance.

01;22;12;05 - 01;22;13;16

You come over here with me.

01;22;13;16 - 01;22;16;29

And so I said it would be rocky

and you see I was going to be this rocket

01;22;17;03 - 01;22;18;20

with has been rocky.

01;22;18;20 - 01;22;21;18

And so, you know, every every day

01;22;21;18 - 01;22;25;01

I see myself saying, you know, maybe it's

time to do something else.

01;22;25;17 - 01;22;28;06

Maybe it's

time to go back into a comfort zone.

01;22;28;06 - 01;22;30;20

But then I think about when they came

and said, I said,

01;22;30;26 - 01;22;32;26

when we come this far to come this far.

01;22;32;26 - 01;22;35;06

So we got to stick it out

a little bit longer and keep work.

01;22;35;07 - 01;22;36;24

And so that's that's where I am right now.

01;22;36;24 - 01;22;38;24

So anybody out there,

01;22;38;24 - 01;22;42;00

you have some rough moments

and having some some negative thoughts

01;22;42;01 - 01;22;43;05

and doubtful thoughts, you know,

01;22;43;05 - 01;22;45;28

just think about where you've come,

the work you've put in so far.

01;22;46;10 - 01;22;49;10

Think about where you have to go

and just think about

01;22;49;22 - 01;22;50;27

you just got to put your head down

01;22;50;27 - 01;22;53;06

and keep grinding

and you'll keep moving forward.

01;22;53;16 - 01;22;54;27

But he may not be as fast.

01;22;54;27 - 01;22;57;29

He may not be as far as you want each day,

but you will keep moving forward.

01;22;58;10 - 01;23;00;28

We come this far to get this far.

01;23;00;28 - 01;23;03;09

That's that's the one man.

01;23;03;17 - 01;23;04;16

It was interesting.

01;23;04;16 - 01;23;07;16

You said that because I've had

those moments, 12% of my wife that day,

01;23;07;16 - 01;23;10;28

I was like, I've had like several

moments where I'm like.

01;23;12;07 - 01;23;14;07

I want to keep doing this,

01;23;14;07 - 01;23;16;27

and then I'll go on LinkedIn and really

look at jobs.

01;23;17;09 - 01;23;20;12

I'll go look at jobs, and as I look at,

I get the feeling like me.

01;23;20;14 - 01;23;24;01

I just keep pushing, keep pushing

01;23;24;01 - 01;23;27;17

because at least you better know

yourself, it's up to you. So.

01;23;27;26 - 01;23;29;15

And I said, Jim,

01;23;30;05 - 01;23;31;26

I'm for me.

01;23;31;26 - 01;23;34;05

I'm starting the year off with it.

01;23;34;22 - 01;23;36;21

And you not only.

01;23;36;21 - 01;23;39;24

And you can take that,

have you want the clothes, don't

01;23;39;24 - 01;23;43;19

make the man right,

but everything is going to start within.

01;23;44;01 - 01;23;47;01

It is all a prospective change,

01;23;47;01 - 01;23;50;00

whether we're dealing

with a new moment in our life

01;23;50;00 - 01;23;51;19

or we need to transition,

and we're not sure

01;23;51;19 - 01;23;53;24

if we can take that leap in the world,

we can do it.

01;23;54;06 - 01;23;56;08

Everything you need is already in you.

01;23;56;08 - 01;23;58;08

You just got to believe in yourself.

01;23;58;08 - 01;24;02;24

You know, you light the fire

and it'll take care of itself.

01;24;02;25 - 01;24;06;01

So don't overthink it better yourself.

01;24;06;14 - 01;24;08;21

It's in you. Not on you.

01;24;09;25 - 01;24;11;22

Your master will wrap up for today.
