of emotions on the all star get all

00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:52.679
star weekend was my word, from
the tip until the final shot. What
9
00:00:52.840 --> 00:00:57.960
a weekend. Honestly, huge props
to the NBA for the weekend. I
10
00:00:58.679 --> 00:01:03.399
overall it was very pleased. We'll
get to the part that we were not
11
00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:07.159
pleased about here in a SEC.
We're reminding her to follow us on social
12
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:12.680
media at the DOT dagger podcast to
interact with US keep up today with everything
13
00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:18.319
we are going on. So,
like we said today, we're recapping all
14
00:01:18.319 --> 00:01:22.239
star weekend. We're going to be
recapping pretty much every part of it.
15
00:01:22.280 --> 00:01:27.040
Skills Challenge, the three point contest, something that happened after the three point
16
00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:33.760
contest, not quite sure what was. And then I'll star Sunday and then,
17
00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:37.840
as promised last week. You think
I was going to let this slide?
18
00:01:37.879 --> 00:01:41.760
Hell, now we got to talk
about the Celtics coming into the break
19
00:01:41.879 --> 00:01:47.719
on fire. Are we buying the
Celtics going forward? It's TC finally going
20
00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:53.040
to be objective about the Celtics.
Tuned in later this episode to find out.
21
00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:57.400
Then, of course, we got
our five games of the week.
22
00:01:57.480 --> 00:02:02.040
I once again my I mean fellas
me, looking on do my research on
23
00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:07.719
the Vada Sports Bookcom is paying off. I mean I'm starting up. Things
24
00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:10.719
are looking up. I love it. Look it up, starting to turn
25
00:02:10.759 --> 00:02:15.280
things around in our five games of
the week. That's what we got going
26
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:19.599
on for you guys today. But
first, y'all already know how it works.
27
00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:23.360
We got some awards to give out. We have quite a few,
28
00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:28.599
from what I understand. So hoopers
of the week, good hustle awards,
29
00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:32.240
Dan, take it away with your
hooper the week. All right, my
30
00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:36.479
hooper the week. I don't know
if you guys know him. He's been
31
00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:44.159
pretty famous song social media and one
not, and his name is Emmanuel Hansel,
32
00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:49.639
the one arm hooper. I can't
believe it, it actually happened.
33
00:02:49.879 --> 00:02:54.319
I was the number one skeptic of
him, but he actually got a d
34
00:02:54.560 --> 00:03:00.159
one offer from a major college,
which is the Memphis Tigers. See if
35
00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:04.039
he doesn't take that, I don't
know what is wrong with him, but
36
00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:07.400
I will take it into heart beat. If I was him. You know
37
00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:12.639
how hard it is to make it
to college basketball and to do it without
38
00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:17.080
one arm. That's that's so impressive
that he has to be recognized for that
39
00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:23.919
and he's my hooper of the week. Caller. HMM, there's actually multiple
40
00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:27.560
one arm hoopers out there. You
might have to be I didn't know about
41
00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:31.719
this one, but I've seen another
one on. He was always on ball
42
00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:37.479
this life. White Guy went to
Florida. I don't know his name,
43
00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:43.400
but yeah, I mean to get
a DNE scholarship to a program like Memphis,
44
00:03:43.639 --> 00:03:46.400
that's tough. I mean in general
means you are really good, but
45
00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:51.159
I mean the only types of disadvantage. I mean that just needs you gre
46
00:03:51.199 --> 00:03:53.800
all the more skilled. So hats
off to you. Yep, you Jay,
47
00:03:54.080 --> 00:03:59.520
who's hooper? All right, I
got a three piece wing dinner for
48
00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:05.360
my good hooper from deep down town, talking curry range, but that's probably
49
00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:13.000
not enough. I'm any towns when
the three point contest. He had the
50
00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:16.199
lowest odds actually to win it because
he was the only big man in it.
51
00:04:16.480 --> 00:04:20.040
But uh, not just because he
wanted but the NBA actually allowed him
52
00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:25.040
to wear a necklace with his mother's
name on it, and they usually do
53
00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:28.639
have a very strict dress code.
But his moment pastor out of leave almost
54
00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:31.319
two years ago now from covid so
it was really good to see and not
55
00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:35.160
only smiling and winning, but the
NBA kind of allow him to have that
56
00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:39.120
piece of her out there with him. So I got to give it the
57
00:04:39.240 --> 00:04:43.600
cat and I think I'm in twenty
nine on the last round. The kind
58
00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:46.439
of win at Luke Canar was like, can he be drug tested? Like
59
00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:48.800
a center should not be high squash. And Yeah, they damn near had
60
00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:53.360
to replace the nets after he went. Goddamn, he was away. I
61
00:04:53.800 --> 00:04:59.000
Jam Load Um Second. I mean
you got to give it to Steph Curry.
62
00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:01.800
How could you not? I thought
some of those shots was are all
63
00:05:01.839 --> 00:05:05.120
he's just kind of clank. It's
Mune the rebound. No, majority of
64
00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:09.600
he was sixteen for Twenty seven.
Downtown is an all star game, which
65
00:05:09.639 --> 00:05:12.480
I like. If it was a
real game and he just a lot.
66
00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:15.319
He was just allowed to shoot his
me threezy won't I think stuff could average
67
00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:18.000
forty, because it does. Is
How easy it looked for him. Like
68
00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:21.839
half court, no problem, hand
in the face, no problem. Until
69
00:05:21.879 --> 00:05:26.920
it was amazing break the scoring record. Yeah, a star. Any it
70
00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:30.399
was a problem there and he was
still sixteen hundred twenty seven like, which
71
00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:34.439
is well above fifty percent, and
taking that many threes from that far throw
72
00:05:34.519 --> 00:05:40.319
in there. He was on fire
before halftime. Yeah, time was two
73
00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:46.920
and a half hours long and there
back out, but has long came back
74
00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:51.120
to put on his Jersey. Kid. Yeah, every time was heat,
75
00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:55.439
but I was just sitting there like
man, this just keeps going. Yeah,
76
00:05:55.519 --> 00:05:58.560
yeah, my last pin also goes
to a guy. You may be
77
00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:02.000
familiar with them, you may love
them, you know, you may kind
78
00:06:02.040 --> 00:06:04.800
of love them, you may kind
of like them. I gotta give it
79
00:06:04.839 --> 00:06:12.439
to our guy TC TC. About
two months ago, me D I said
80
00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:15.079
TC, shut the hell of it's
not gonna happen. But my boy Brian
81
00:06:15.399 --> 00:06:19.519
would asked about possibly going back to
the cavaliers. Say Hey, dead door
82
00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:23.560
is not closing here. TC.
It two months goes. Oh, was
83
00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:26.920
conspiracy theory. I don't know what
can happen me and they are like no,
84
00:06:26.920 --> 00:06:30.199
no, just just stop it.
Don't even put that film out there.
85
00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:32.360
And, Lo and behold, my
man, Lebron, they actually go
86
00:06:32.399 --> 00:06:41.759
back. So I gotta give it
to was it Taylor coastradamis like and knows
87
00:06:41.800 --> 00:06:46.439
about to happen. So TC,
way to go. Yeah, I mean,
88
00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:49.560
Lebron is always thinking two steps ahead. You think he was oblivious to
89
00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:55.720
what the cavs have been doing?
No shot. I mean the the Lakers
90
00:06:55.720 --> 00:07:00.040
have just been such a mess this
year. If I'm Lebron doing what Lebron
91
00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:03.160
is doing, when Lebron is doing
it at his age, I'm not having
92
00:07:03.160 --> 00:07:08.759
any patients with that. A man
deserves better. Okay, I can't believe
93
00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:13.720
it actually happened, like like not
happening, but there's not. Now there's
94
00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:16.480
the buzz out there because lebrons mentioned
it outn't know where, I wasn't here.
95
00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:20.439
Whatever. You shut nobody was here. Exactly. Stop It. I'm
96
00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:25.040
like, okay, I made it. In fairness, I've thrown a lot
97
00:07:25.040 --> 00:07:28.639
of bullet takes out there and it's
been nice that one has finally come to
98
00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:32.120
fruition. This one stick. This
one's stuck like this one's by making yeah,
99
00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:34.600
yeah, I mean Lebron, you
know, in his quotes, is
100
00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:40.279
given specifics of when he can opt
out and everything, like he's locks through
101
00:07:40.519 --> 00:07:45.480
leaving. He's yeah, he's a
plan at if the Lakers don't do something
102
00:07:45.600 --> 00:07:49.439
drastic. Lebron has a plan,
believe me. Yeah, and I mean
103
00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:53.759
I wouldn't be afraid, like I
wouldn't be afraid to put any Ted on
104
00:07:53.839 --> 00:07:58.360
it if Bovada had like a little
line for that, because I would definitely
105
00:07:58.360 --> 00:08:01.519
do it. I would. He's
out of there. No, in my
106
00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:03.759
opinion, my eyes, well,
I see is Lebron in a difference.
107
00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:07.519
There's yeah, I think it's happening. Love to see that. My Hooper
108
00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:15.519
the week. I have a couple. I'll tell you what I cleveland in
109
00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:20.040
the past, and that times has
been synonymous kind of pre Lebron James,
110
00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:24.800
mostly with guys that were, you
know, not very athletic, and you
111
00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:28.639
know the sports teams, they are
all sucked. But Cleveland these days have
112
00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:33.639
some dudes that are just built different, and the first one is miles Garrett.
113
00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:39.240
Miles Garrett looked like shack in the
celebrity case. He looked like Dwight
114
00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:45.159
Howard Prime Dwight Howard in the dunk
contest. He's throwing down windills. He's
115
00:08:45.279 --> 00:08:50.600
dunking on machine gun Kelly. He's
I mean he's also like what six six,
116
00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:56.440
built, like an absolute tank,
like look like a man amongst boys.
117
00:08:56.639 --> 00:09:01.240
If these lerity game. I was
so happy watching him Duncan Machine Gun
118
00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:05.080
Kelly. I can't stand that guy. I mean miles Garrett is just an
119
00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:09.159
absolute unit, and don't piss him
off either, else he'll try to beat
120
00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:13.360
you to death with his own helmet, your own helmet. That's Mason Rudolph
121
00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:20.000
Man, when your your own yeah, the second Cleveland guys, I was
122
00:09:20.120 --> 00:09:24.279
just salivating, and I know it
was only a small snapshot, but there
123
00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:28.840
was a part in the skills challenge
where they were shooting from different spots on
124
00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:33.360
the floor and I had no idea
Evan mobili could stroke it like that.
125
00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:39.799
I mean I was literally the living
embodiment of the heart eyes of Bojie just
126
00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:46.759
watching him stroke it from through no
no rim, like, yeah, my
127
00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:52.120
holy this kid is the real deal. I mean I knew he was Tim
128
00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:54.720
Duncan, I didn't know he was
Tim Duncan who could shoot. I didn't
129
00:09:54.759 --> 00:09:58.679
know he had a stroke like that. I was unreal. But between him
130
00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:03.240
and Aaron Donald, I'm like,
I have a crush on Bobo right now.
131
00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:09.080
Between that's fun. I mean it
wasn't Valentine to say as. I
132
00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:11.279
mean, man, man crushes are
allowed, and I have a man crush
133
00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:18.159
on Evan mobili. Kid is the
future and gonna Bring Real and Lebron James.
134
00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:20.440
So I mean, yeah, how
do you not give it to Evan
135
00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:24.360
Mobile after that? That's her.
All right. Let's get negative, shall
136
00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:31.200
we? Yes, my kid hustle
a ward. If my good hooper went
137
00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:37.080
to easily the best part of the
celebrity game, Mike Hooper goes to eat
138
00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:43.440
with easily the worst part of the
celebrity game, and that goes out to
139
00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:48.519
Tiffany Hadsh tiftany I don't know what
the standard is for how they let people
140
00:10:48.639 --> 00:10:54.000
into the celebrity game, but should
some kind of basketball experience be a prerequisite?
141
00:10:54.639 --> 00:11:00.200
I mean TNT just trying to,
you know, throw their network stars
142
00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:03.519
out there whether they wanted or not. I mean tiffany had ish looked lost
143
00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:13.279
and she like twerking about the game. Yeah, here warming up the children
144
00:11:13.360 --> 00:11:16.960
out there. Ma'am. Okay,
I'll be honest. I'm not a huge
145
00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:20.600
fan of her work either. So
I mean, I'll take a pot shot
146
00:11:20.679 --> 00:11:24.519
at her any time I can.
And then she came out for the halftime
147
00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:30.399
show and she was part one of
the presenters for like this seventy five anniversary
148
00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:33.240
team, and she's like she's of
those all over world stuff. Yeah,
149
00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:37.679
now she was centers. WHO said
it? Oh, yeah, yeah,
150
00:11:37.879 --> 00:11:41.519
she looked like yeah, ever hers
either. Just sing over words. Come
151
00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:46.679
on, Tiffany, you're professional and
definitely not a professional basketball player. So,
152
00:11:46.879 --> 00:11:52.519
Tiffy, good, good hustle out
there. All right, bed WHO's
153
00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:58.840
hustling? Get them. It is
with deep sorrow and I give this good
154
00:11:58.960 --> 00:12:01.600
hustle to one of my favorite pros, like just all in general, but
155
00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:07.200
my man has turned into a menace, super grimmling, if you will,
156
00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:11.519
and the college ranks, and that
is none other than fat five member Joan.
157
00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:18.279
How To you know? I get
there's unwritten rules and basketball. If
158
00:12:18.320 --> 00:12:20.759
you're up fourteen, a couple seconds, if he ain't got a call,
159
00:12:20.919 --> 00:12:24.759
time out, and then we try
to explain to a guy why you did.
160
00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:26.799
He Ain't got to put your hands
on that. Get All. Let
161
00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:31.480
so this happens between Michigan Wisconsin.
You know the game is pretty much overs
162
00:12:31.480 --> 00:12:33.960
cost about the only Michigan's having a
tough year this year. And in the
163
00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:37.759
handshake line, you know, Joan
Howard's like touching up, put your hands
164
00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:39.960
on me, trying to explain to
the coach, like I don't like what
165
00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:45.720
you did. It comes to this
whole thing and then unassistant coach, he
166
00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:50.000
finds his face behind Joan howards.
Am I manage you, Wan how an,
167
00:12:50.039 --> 00:12:54.200
open palm, smack, Mush face. I don't know what it was.
168
00:12:54.320 --> 00:12:56.559
He connected. I'm talking to you
too, known as a pimp.
169
00:12:56.679 --> 00:13:01.399
Slap. Yeah, he slapped this
assistant coach like this dude o him money,
170
00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:07.799
like he did these. He looked
him in his optics stems and slapped
171
00:13:07.879 --> 00:13:13.480
him square in the face. I
get it. It's frustrate, but you
172
00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:20.360
can't be on TV just whish in
the middle seat everybody, because now your
173
00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:22.120
players saying, Oh, coach said, it's cool, I just got here
174
00:13:22.159 --> 00:13:26.279
through all two pieces and then you
got the badges and the wolverines. Kind
175
00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:30.200
of a mini bral if you want
to call it that, but it was
176
00:13:30.279 --> 00:13:33.159
not a good look. And I
loved Juan how our, but he has
177
00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:35.159
since M has been it. For
the rest of the regular season. But
178
00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:39.840
my man is to know in college
head coach fights. Mark Tursan has not
179
00:13:39.919 --> 00:13:45.799
been seen since messing the job,
and I'm pretty sure Greg Gard will not
180
00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:50.240
be coming across the handschick my anytime
soon. It Talk to Joan. I
181
00:13:50.360 --> 00:13:54.639
mean I love basketball and I love
drama, so I've done my research into
182
00:13:54.720 --> 00:14:00.000
this and the time out was I
mean it was kind of bad form.
183
00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:03.320
But at the same time Juan Howard
was the one sitting telling his team to
184
00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:09.480
press the Wisconsin backups when there's no
shot of winning. Like to me that
185
00:14:09.600 --> 00:14:13.879
also seems like that sportsmanship are I
didn't know that part. Yeah, like
186
00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:18.039
he's telling this guys to swarm,
you know, the bench warmers, to
187
00:14:18.159 --> 00:14:22.360
walk ons for Wisconsin, like I
come off bro like they're trying to they
188
00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:26.480
put in the backups that called off
the dogs, and it just seems like
189
00:14:26.639 --> 00:14:28.919
sour grapes to just say okay,
go press, like, I mean you
190
00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:31.639
can chock it up as well.
We weren't giving up, but I mean,
191
00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:35.600
come on, you weren't going to
win. Yeah, even close.
192
00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:39.679
That was a stupid they's it was
just frustration to that point and it seems
193
00:14:39.720 --> 00:14:45.159
like he gets frustrated easily because two
years in a row now, so somebody
194
00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:48.159
needs to like I thought, I
actually thought I was on be fired completely,
195
00:14:48.080 --> 00:14:54.000
but I mean he's still could.
I mean Michigan might sit on this
196
00:14:54.120 --> 00:14:58.799
for a second, but the thing
I've heard in defensive Juan Howard, he
197
00:14:58.879 --> 00:15:01.639
wasn't even getting getting and shake line. He wanted to just walk off,
198
00:15:01.759 --> 00:15:03.720
but he decided to get in handshake
line and also you probably should just walked
199
00:15:03.759 --> 00:15:09.080
off. Yeah, I mean Greg
Gard did put his hands on him,
200
00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:11.679
like he did like kind of like
pull them back, but like Juan said
201
00:15:11.759 --> 00:15:15.279
something to him and he's like wait
a minute, would you say? And
202
00:15:15.360 --> 00:15:20.320
then Juan flew off the handle.
But one of the things I've seen is
203
00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:24.360
somebody say it was Braylon Edwards.
Braylon Edwards has a podcast where he talks
204
00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:28.320
about all kinds of different sports and
what Brailon Edwards pointed out is the Wisconsin
205
00:15:30.120 --> 00:15:35.200
assistant coach looks like he pushes one
of the Michigan players. And if that's
206
00:15:35.320 --> 00:15:39.559
the case, I mean I kind
of get it. Like if I'm a
207
00:15:39.639 --> 00:15:41.399
coach and another coach puts his hands
on one of my players, like I
208
00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:45.639
probably slap them too. It was
in the back of me right. I
209
00:15:45.799 --> 00:15:50.919
saw it. Yeah, yeah,
yeah, so like some of his players
210
00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:52.919
get in front of him to like
kind of pulled juant back, like come
211
00:15:52.960 --> 00:15:58.600
on, coach, and it looks
like this assistant coach for Wisconsin like kind
212
00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:03.080
of pushed through some of the other
assistants for Wisconsin and like to go get
213
00:16:03.159 --> 00:16:06.200
in his face. And but,
I mean, anytime you fly off the
214
00:16:06.240 --> 00:16:10.039
handle like that, you're always the
bad guy. That's all anyone's going to
215
00:16:10.120 --> 00:16:14.039
remember. Absolutely and it makes you
such a hypocrite with your players to like,
216
00:16:14.080 --> 00:16:15.120
how are you going to get mad
at your players when they get a
217
00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:19.440
technical you know, if you manage
to get yourself suspended for at least five
218
00:16:19.559 --> 00:16:22.360
games? I mean it's just such
a bad look. Yeah, but,
219
00:16:23.480 --> 00:16:26.080
as a wise man once said,
there were there are layers to this,
220
00:16:26.519 --> 00:16:32.240
hmm. I mean, in regardless, you gotta get a good house,
221
00:16:32.320 --> 00:16:37.840
Lord, you just gotta. Yeah, Dean, take US home. Who
222
00:16:37.879 --> 00:16:41.559
Saus all right, much like you, I'm gonna go to the celebrity all
223
00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:48.639
star game and point out, put
us a spot light on another horrible performer,
224
00:16:49.279 --> 00:16:55.960
and that is mgk or for or
Akt in machine gunnally. Give us
225
00:16:56.840 --> 00:17:00.519
this like, like you said,
to see the what are the requirements to
226
00:17:00.559 --> 00:17:03.200
get into this game? Because,
like everybody else, seemed like they had
227
00:17:03.599 --> 00:17:07.759
some type, some form of basketball
knowledge, because this dude was missing layups,
228
00:17:08.039 --> 00:17:12.680
get dunked on, traveling everything.
He probably went one fur hundred and
229
00:17:12.720 --> 00:17:17.480
twenty on his shots. It was
ridiculous. There was like a bad it
230
00:17:17.640 --> 00:17:21.599
was like a two pitter that he
just clanked all the backboard and it was
231
00:17:21.680 --> 00:17:26.119
just ridiculous. Like Bro Stop,
just stop, just stick to just stick
232
00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:30.839
to your your craft and leave basketball
on loan, because you're clearly not a
233
00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:34.400
debt. How can you a good
conscience? Put Machine get and Kelly and
234
00:17:34.440 --> 00:17:40.480
Tiffany Hadsh out there with Miles Garrett. Miles Garrett is a monster. Exactly
235
00:17:41.319 --> 00:17:44.720
here what sport it is. He's
dangerous. How can you get conscience?
236
00:17:44.759 --> 00:17:48.160
Put those guys out there with him? You need to cut miles Garrett out
237
00:17:48.160 --> 00:17:52.000
of it where. You need to
do some kind of put some kind of
238
00:17:52.079 --> 00:17:55.279
floor on the celebrity game of like, okay, you had to at least
239
00:17:55.839 --> 00:17:57.799
try it out for high school basketball. Don't even have to make it,
240
00:17:57.880 --> 00:18:02.359
but you had to try out.
Okay, some kind of requirement are you
241
00:18:02.519 --> 00:18:06.039
have to make five three throws in
a minute to be in the celebrity gump.
242
00:18:06.839 --> 00:18:08.960
Hey, I agree. I mean
I feel like they should have celebrity
243
00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:12.880
game tryouts where celebrities come, you
know, like a week before and they
244
00:18:12.960 --> 00:18:17.240
try out, okay, and then
the captains get to pick their teams.
245
00:18:17.279 --> 00:18:21.720
I feel like that's what they should
do. Yeah, one hundred resent people,
246
00:18:21.759 --> 00:18:23.119
be sure? No, they don't
even know what they're doing. They
247
00:18:23.319 --> 00:18:29.200
you. You put them against miles
Gary, Quavo, people that I don't
248
00:18:29.200 --> 00:18:32.519
know what to play basketball. Gay, it's not even there, like,
249
00:18:32.640 --> 00:18:34.960
what are we doing? Yeah,
Quabos Nice, I mean Jameles played in
250
00:18:36.039 --> 00:18:40.839
it before, like Jake. Yeah, Collins Brown, Yeah, Kevin Harwood.
251
00:18:40.880 --> 00:18:44.920
Sound Nice. Yeah, I mean
I feel like they're more concerned with
252
00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:47.680
the celebrity to the game, and
that's fine. I mean it's really so
253
00:18:47.960 --> 00:18:51.440
yeah, competitive, but still you
gotta get a good Hustle Award. All
254
00:18:51.559 --> 00:18:56.200
right, you pretty much covered the
celebrity game in our good hustle awards and
255
00:18:56.599 --> 00:19:00.799
hoovers of the week. So we're
moving on this all star Saturday. So
256
00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:04.079
let's talk about the skills challenge for
just a second. And the most interesting
257
00:19:04.200 --> 00:19:08.119
thing about the skills challenge was definitely
the new format. So, Dean,
258
00:19:08.200 --> 00:19:11.720
were you offend a new format,
would you think of the I love I
259
00:19:11.880 --> 00:19:17.079
absolutely adored and you format. I
just love it. It's just way more
260
00:19:17.160 --> 00:19:22.960
competitive. The team's is just better
than the individual thing because they most most
261
00:19:22.960 --> 00:19:27.200
of the time, they players like
that go individually don't even try or like
262
00:19:27.319 --> 00:19:30.799
don't try their best. I feel
like there was some spice to it this
263
00:19:30.920 --> 00:19:33.920
year with the unto, the Komba
team, with the cast team in the
264
00:19:34.039 --> 00:19:38.240
rookies. I love the new format
and the to the what is it for
265
00:19:38.400 --> 00:19:42.400
different types of competition that they have? It was a it was as fun
266
00:19:42.480 --> 00:19:45.759
to watch. They had the shooting, they had the passing, the relay.
267
00:19:47.319 --> 00:19:48.759
It was as fun overall. I
just love it. Yeah, and
268
00:19:48.839 --> 00:19:52.880
I mean not to be a contrarian, but I didn't know what was happening
269
00:19:52.039 --> 00:19:59.599
half the time. Fair scoring seemed
a little look scared. I didn't understand
270
00:19:59.680 --> 00:20:02.720
like the scoring and the tiebreakers.
That was kind of odd. That's that.
271
00:20:03.279 --> 00:20:06.319
Yeah, that's that's one thing that
I would change. The tie breaker.
272
00:20:06.400 --> 00:20:11.440
Like you just shoot until you like
what they they they pig dairy's Garland
273
00:20:11.519 --> 00:20:14.599
and put them up against the noses. The Nazi's gonna break that Shit like
274
00:20:14.720 --> 00:20:18.319
one hundred percent of the time,
but it's not even fair. And a
275
00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:22.279
lot of times, like it was
a little chaotic, like the passing drill
276
00:20:22.319 --> 00:20:25.720
where you have three guys going at
once. Yeah, I love the chaotic.
277
00:20:25.920 --> 00:20:27.599
I love that because the rookies that
you if you saw the rookies,
278
00:20:27.640 --> 00:20:30.839
were ready, like they were like
yeah, like it, with three,
279
00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:36.000
three men, we even reach it. I love that's true. It was
280
00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:37.720
a little chaotic, but I feel
like if they keep this format, I
281
00:20:37.839 --> 00:20:41.079
mean, I mean, it's not
their fault. I'm not Domina, you
282
00:20:41.160 --> 00:20:45.759
know, I'm not smart enough to
actually follow what's happening. So I mean,
283
00:20:45.799 --> 00:20:48.559
I feel like if it's the same
format for a few years, then
284
00:20:48.599 --> 00:20:52.640
I'll be able to adjust to it. And I like the team aspect,
285
00:20:52.680 --> 00:20:55.960
like you're saying. Yeah, and
I like the three stages. That does
286
00:20:56.079 --> 00:21:00.039
make it more interesting. J where
we were your thoughts on the format that
287
00:21:00.400 --> 00:21:06.240
I thought the new format was okay. I did like the team aspect of
288
00:21:06.359 --> 00:21:10.519
it a lot. I thought the
shooting thing was pretty interesting, like the
289
00:21:10.640 --> 00:21:14.359
different strategies. The rookies were saying, now we're running to shoot mid range
290
00:21:14.400 --> 00:21:17.680
and the corner three where the Daris
Garlands, like I'm just going to shoot
291
00:21:17.680 --> 00:21:22.079
it from like the five spot every
time you point you y honest pulled up
292
00:21:22.079 --> 00:21:26.680
from the five spot. The passing
thing did confuse me. Like that was
293
00:21:26.720 --> 00:21:29.519
pretty hectic. But other than that, like I liked it a lot.
294
00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:33.079
But the only thing I always say
is the format they had the last two
295
00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:36.559
years where the guys race up the
corner at the same time. was only
296
00:21:36.599 --> 00:21:38.759
thing I'll probably miss. Like that
was a really good one. Like House
297
00:21:38.799 --> 00:21:42.839
of bone is, I think was
he racing against Jason Tatum couple years ago?
298
00:21:42.880 --> 00:21:45.440
I can't remember, but like they
were going up to court the same
299
00:21:45.519 --> 00:21:49.680
time. That's the only element I
missed. But this new team format I
300
00:21:49.799 --> 00:21:53.799
think could work out because it does
add a different element to it. So
301
00:21:55.359 --> 00:21:57.400
overall I thought it was okay.
But like take like you said, TC,
302
00:21:57.519 --> 00:22:00.640
if they keep doing it for,
you know, a couple years,
303
00:22:02.079 --> 00:22:03.400
I think it'll be like really good. is they probably going to add some
304
00:22:03.480 --> 00:22:07.319
more to it, especially like the
shootout from half court. We got mobili
305
00:22:07.680 --> 00:22:11.480
just casually pull it up and half
court shot. Like I thought it was
306
00:22:11.519 --> 00:22:15.599
good overall, though. Yeah,
yeah, I mean then there's all kinds
307
00:22:15.640 --> 00:22:19.440
of interesting trios you could do like, yeah, the possibilities are endless.
308
00:22:19.599 --> 00:22:22.839
And just imagine if you had the
two thousand and seventeen warriors teaming up like
309
00:22:22.920 --> 00:22:29.359
you had Katie Clay and staff doing. It's like what happened? Yeah,
310
00:22:29.359 --> 00:22:33.119
all right, I mean could have
friends like get Lebron Mellow and Chris Paul
311
00:22:33.200 --> 00:22:36.960
to do it. Yeah, maybe, Dope. Yeah, yeah, it
312
00:22:37.119 --> 00:22:40.079
was. It's just the possibilities are
endless. Coul yeah, onto the COOMBO
313
00:22:40.160 --> 00:22:41.920
team is going to be different every
year. The cavs team is going to
314
00:22:42.000 --> 00:22:45.960
be wherever they go to the all
star do the all stars. So make
315
00:22:45.960 --> 00:22:48.119
sure I'd be like the Utah Jazz. Yeah, yeah, exactly in the
316
00:22:48.160 --> 00:22:51.759
book. Is gonna be different every
year. So it's it's gonna be interesting.
317
00:22:51.839 --> 00:22:53.240
It's gonna be interesting. I am
not sing. Like one thing,
318
00:22:53.359 --> 00:22:56.759
though, that if I would have
went on Bolvada and put some money on
319
00:22:56.960 --> 00:23:00.599
onto the Coombo, I would have
lost, because I have fully yeah,
320
00:23:00.680 --> 00:23:03.680
I had. I was, I
did too. I was, I was
321
00:23:03.759 --> 00:23:07.039
bamboozled, I was let a stray. I thought that the Hustle was going
322
00:23:07.119 --> 00:23:11.519
to count for some, but it
didn't. So, I mean, I
323
00:23:11.680 --> 00:23:15.079
love I love the Nash has but
he is the antithesis of see. Yeah,
324
00:23:15.160 --> 00:23:21.039
he is a glue guy through and
through, like Dennis Robin out here,
325
00:23:21.200 --> 00:23:22.920
like all right, just gonna run
over some stuff. But yeah,
326
00:23:22.920 --> 00:23:27.599
I mean that. That was my
takeaway of the Anto Takoupas are freak athletes,
327
00:23:27.720 --> 00:23:33.240
but probably the least skilled family in
NBA history. Yeah, in terms
328
00:23:33.279 --> 00:23:37.720
of skill. Yeah, they're not
not the best. Even even Yannest is
329
00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:41.279
it really cut out for that contest
like it. Yeah, and they don't,
330
00:23:41.319 --> 00:23:45.480
like you're nothing to have a shooter
in in their mist. So the
331
00:23:45.599 --> 00:23:52.440
shooting line was was sad. Yeah, shooting was hard to watch, se
332
00:23:52.640 --> 00:23:56.319
with all those bricks. Yeah,
that was tough. Yeah, but what?
333
00:23:56.440 --> 00:24:00.279
I don't understand why they chose Alex
instead of coast us. Yeah,
334
00:24:00.039 --> 00:24:04.720
I don't think. Yeah, I
mean they none of them and none of
335
00:24:04.759 --> 00:24:08.240
the teams had seen the format before. So I don't think most of them
336
00:24:08.359 --> 00:24:11.680
kind of grasp the strategy. I
mean the rooks look really prepared, but
337
00:24:11.799 --> 00:24:15.279
like the calves and have to Jokumpos, like, they didn't look like they
338
00:24:15.400 --> 00:24:19.880
understood the strategy very yeah, that's
all right, it's the first year and
339
00:24:19.920 --> 00:24:25.519
it doesn't really matter. But yeah, I mean that's how the dog down
340
00:24:25.559 --> 00:24:26.960
to the COMPOS won the passing one, because they were hustling. They was
341
00:24:27.000 --> 00:24:32.960
just throwing, yeah, he's fucking
yeah, on the left side Bro just.
342
00:24:34.079 --> 00:24:37.079
I mean it was chaos to they
were running into each other and like
343
00:24:37.160 --> 00:24:41.519
I don't know how they won.
Like the cavs looked so much smoother,
344
00:24:41.680 --> 00:24:45.160
got like fourteen less points somehow.
I didn't really understand the scoring, but
345
00:24:45.279 --> 00:24:49.440
like coupos were just sprinting in between
like run, yeah, to each other
346
00:24:49.559 --> 00:24:53.279
and stuff. It's yeah, it
was definitely fun. All right, let's
347
00:24:53.279 --> 00:24:57.079
move on to the three point contest. Then was a three point shootout.
348
00:24:57.160 --> 00:25:03.960
Now three point contestsn't know, MARTIN
DO? That's what we do, competition
349
00:25:03.119 --> 00:25:07.839
where they shoot three pointers. Yeah, shout out to mountain dew for making
350
00:25:07.880 --> 00:25:12.319
a delicious soda and for sponsoring then, if you want to sponsor this show,
351
00:25:12.680 --> 00:25:18.599
you just say the word. Say
The word so j what were your
352
00:25:18.640 --> 00:25:25.599
takeaways from the three point contest?
Um, my takeaways were, I thought,
353
00:25:25.680 --> 00:25:29.599
do you we had a fantastic point. If the duck contests, which
354
00:25:29.640 --> 00:25:33.039
I won't go in yet because I
know you guys have thoughts this, the
355
00:25:33.079 --> 00:25:36.359
dew point shoot out could be a
last event of the night just because of
356
00:25:36.440 --> 00:25:38.960
the peer entertainment of it and when
guys get hot like best, with the
357
00:25:40.079 --> 00:25:42.319
NBA being mostly about their point of
shooting. Now is watching like you saw
358
00:25:42.359 --> 00:25:45.640
a staff got I just watching that
kind of moment to building up. My
359
00:25:45.799 --> 00:25:49.920
only takeaway was like, where were
some of the best shooters in the League
360
00:25:51.000 --> 00:25:53.400
at the like? I was wondering, like where was Steph? Obviously that's
361
00:25:53.440 --> 00:25:57.440
not fair to put a minute amongst
mere mortals. Where was clay? I
362
00:25:57.519 --> 00:26:02.039
mean plays only play like probably ten
or twelve games, but you get just
363
00:26:02.160 --> 00:26:04.519
out of respect deep book who has
wanted before. Like I thought it was
364
00:26:04.599 --> 00:26:08.680
missing some of the Marquis shooters who
have done it. But overall, though,
365
00:26:08.799 --> 00:26:12.799
like I thought, with the implementation
of him out and Duball to that's
366
00:26:12.839 --> 00:26:17.640
worth of like three points, it
really makes it super duper interesting and like
367
00:26:17.759 --> 00:26:21.319
you get to choose where your moneyball
rack is at, so you could you
368
00:26:21.359 --> 00:26:22.960
know, I feel like you're from
the corner, top of the key,
369
00:26:22.079 --> 00:26:27.160
the wing. It was probably by
far my favorite event of all star weekend,
370
00:26:27.200 --> 00:26:30.359
aside from the actual game. Yeah, yeah, for sure. I
371
00:26:30.440 --> 00:26:36.160
mean the three point contest is easily
the best part of all star Saturday and
372
00:26:36.240 --> 00:26:41.799
it has been for several years.
Other than that time, Aaron Gordon and
373
00:26:41.920 --> 00:26:47.519
Zach Lavine the same. It wasn't. Yeah, EAS but yeah, I
374
00:26:47.599 --> 00:26:51.079
mean might take away his cat.
Is Gross. Cat Is Really Nice.
375
00:26:51.319 --> 00:26:53.640
Chee. I love. I loved
what you said about him having fun too.
376
00:26:53.759 --> 00:26:59.839
It's good to see him having fun. And Yeah, it seemed like
377
00:27:00.000 --> 00:27:03.240
after his mom passed with Covid I
mean it seemed like he, I mean
378
00:27:03.319 --> 00:27:07.519
you could just kind of tell from
afar like he wasn't at the best spot.
379
00:27:07.839 --> 00:27:08.559
I mean, if my mom died, you know I wouldn't be in
380
00:27:08.559 --> 00:27:11.119
the best spot either. But it
was good to see him smiling, having
381
00:27:11.240 --> 00:27:17.759
fun, you know, really enjoying
the three point contest and really enjoy an
382
00:27:17.759 --> 00:27:21.640
all star weekend. That was definitely
a definitely a plus for sure. I
383
00:27:21.720 --> 00:27:26.400
could I go everything you guys have
said and I didn't know cat had it
384
00:27:26.480 --> 00:27:29.240
like that, to be honest.
I know. I mean because it shoot
385
00:27:29.279 --> 00:27:32.440
here. I didn't know was the
leading peopoint shooter on his team like that's
386
00:27:32.480 --> 00:27:37.680
insane. He has like Anthony Edwards
honest team Dlo. It was my boggling.
387
00:27:37.880 --> 00:27:40.880
I was the last round when he
hit twenty nine. I was like,
388
00:27:41.279 --> 00:27:45.680
what the fuck, because I had
I had stay young or Luke Nar
389
00:27:45.880 --> 00:27:49.160
winning, especially Luke Ar. I
with thought he was on on. Yeah,
390
00:27:49.319 --> 00:27:52.599
that was my pic. I picked
luke an arm. By mean shout
391
00:27:52.640 --> 00:27:56.359
out to each Vj. Actually pick
cat yeah, to win. It represent
392
00:27:57.000 --> 00:28:02.319
no twin, but I love the
I love the day added the Montain do
393
00:28:02.559 --> 00:28:04.400
zone. It was just fun or
raw, and I agree, and the
394
00:28:04.519 --> 00:28:07.240
night on. That that's the most
hype kind of contest. Love well,
395
00:28:07.240 --> 00:28:11.519
because we okay, I'm gonna stop
there because I'm I was gonna year serious,
396
00:28:11.960 --> 00:28:17.200
because I want to hear what's gonna, you know, shoot a little
397
00:28:17.200 --> 00:28:21.039
bit against the the contest. So
then, since we're talking about cat,
398
00:28:21.519 --> 00:28:26.680
cat is in fact a center and
cat did win the three point contest by
399
00:28:26.759 --> 00:28:30.960
a decent margin. I mean that
last round he was the best by far.
400
00:28:30.880 --> 00:28:37.400
So does that make since he's one
the three point contest and is shooting
401
00:28:37.559 --> 00:28:42.640
so well, it's Karl Anthony Towns, the best shooting center in NBA history.
402
00:28:42.920 --> 00:28:47.319
Not Forward, obviously not forward.
Okay, because I was going to
403
00:28:47.440 --> 00:28:51.759
I was going to put jerks,
I was going to put but catty is
404
00:28:51.839 --> 00:28:53.960
in fact a center. He's a
center. He's not just a forward,
405
00:28:55.200 --> 00:28:59.319
he's a center. And so does
this make Karl Anthony towns the best shooting
406
00:28:59.480 --> 00:29:03.000
center of all time? I'm going
to say yes, but I'm going to
407
00:29:03.039 --> 00:29:07.480
say yes because not just because of
what I saw this weekend, but I've
408
00:29:07.519 --> 00:29:12.279
been watching cat since he was planning
in Jersey and when we went to Kentucky,
409
00:29:12.400 --> 00:29:15.599
like you could just tell, like
the way he shot the ball,
410
00:29:15.319 --> 00:29:18.640
when coach Kyl a lot him shoot
three's, that he was that guy.
411
00:29:18.359 --> 00:29:22.440
This one specific thing you said like
best shooting center of all time, because
412
00:29:22.480 --> 00:29:26.559
that when he said best shooting big
man a couple months agout. WHOA,
413
00:29:26.599 --> 00:29:30.279
Whoa. Have you ever heard of
Derk Novitski? Like no, Neverk is
414
00:29:30.319 --> 00:29:33.079
the best shooter for you know,
big man, but as a center is
415
00:29:33.200 --> 00:29:37.200
got to be Carlyton towns. I
did not know he was shooting like forty
416
00:29:37.240 --> 00:29:41.319
one percent from downtown leading his team
and for a seventh verd to be doing
417
00:29:41.440 --> 00:29:45.240
that with that kind of easy,
like flow to his shout to I think
418
00:29:45.279 --> 00:29:51.480
he's got to be. Yeah,
one hundred percent, Becuz I when when
419
00:29:51.519 --> 00:29:53.640
I saw the question, I was
like, Hmm, I try, I
420
00:29:53.759 --> 00:29:57.839
try to like think of any other
names that but nobody comes even close to
421
00:29:57.960 --> 00:30:03.200
the way he cat, the shooting, has been shooting throughout his career.
422
00:30:03.480 --> 00:30:07.000
So I mean, yeah, he
has to be the best shooting center of
423
00:30:07.079 --> 00:30:10.960
all time. Yeah, I mean
without a question, and that distinction is
424
00:30:10.960 --> 00:30:14.920
important. Obviously, there's some forwards
who could absolutely stroke it, like Dirk
425
00:30:15.160 --> 00:30:19.240
obviously, I think, like Ryan
Anderson and Richard Lewis. Yes, those
426
00:30:19.240 --> 00:30:25.519
guys can absolutely know Turtlo lose Turkloo. Yeah, they just went. HMM,
427
00:30:25.720 --> 00:30:30.480
don't forget about the red rocket,
that barb who balance out there.
428
00:30:30.599 --> 00:30:36.720
Yeah, but the differences, it's
none of those guys are centers and Carl
429
00:30:36.799 --> 00:30:38.880
Anthony towns is a center. So
yes, he is the best shooting center
430
00:30:38.920 --> 00:30:41.960
of all time. Yeah, and
I mean he saw its a lot of
431
00:30:42.039 --> 00:30:47.640
career left. So I'm a huge
cat guy. I love cat. that.
432
00:30:48.119 --> 00:30:49.039
Now, how can you hate him? How can you hate on cat?
433
00:30:49.160 --> 00:30:52.200
Yeah, I mean the fact that
he can stroke threes and just like
434
00:30:52.400 --> 00:30:56.000
throw down windmill dunks, you know, in the in these like yeah,
435
00:30:56.079 --> 00:31:00.680
how do you not like him?
He's he's a beast. I mean,
436
00:31:00.000 --> 00:31:06.039
and Dj kind of alluded to this, but the three point contest was missing
437
00:31:06.119 --> 00:31:10.680
a lot of guys. A lot
of the League's best shooters we're not in
438
00:31:10.839 --> 00:31:12.960
this year's contest for one reason or
another. I mean I'm thinking of like
439
00:31:14.160 --> 00:31:21.920
Joe Harris, like bj mentioned,
Devin Booker, Staff Curry, play Thompson.
440
00:31:22.160 --> 00:31:26.559
Obviously you could throw Kevin Durrant in
any year. I mean, but
441
00:31:26.640 --> 00:31:30.680
none of those guys were in it, and so is cat. It's victory
442
00:31:30.920 --> 00:31:34.720
hollow or tainted in any way because
those guys aren't there. Yeah, what
443
00:31:34.720 --> 00:31:38.359
do you think? A little bit, but I don't blame him because it's
444
00:31:38.400 --> 00:31:41.000
not his fault. Like half of
the guys you just name or injured.
445
00:31:41.400 --> 00:31:47.119
And you know, the three point
done, the three point contest has a
446
00:31:47.160 --> 00:31:49.680
history of not having always all the
best players because, like curry missed it
447
00:31:49.680 --> 00:31:53.519
a few years and you can't put
curry in there because this is going to
448
00:31:53.559 --> 00:31:56.839
be automatic win every time. There's
some guys that you can't see you just
449
00:31:57.000 --> 00:32:01.039
can't put in there because it would
be a no contest. But I look
450
00:32:01.079 --> 00:32:04.799
at the at the list of like
the best three point shooters, there's people
451
00:32:04.839 --> 00:32:07.480
that should definitely have been there.
Like why was Dosn't main there? Like
452
00:32:07.680 --> 00:32:10.279
I get he's a pretty good shooter, but, like, I don't think
453
00:32:10.319 --> 00:32:14.000
you got it like that. You
know, there's there's a few names that
454
00:32:14.000 --> 00:32:15.640
I would have replaced, like Duncan
Robinson should have been there, I feel
455
00:32:15.680 --> 00:32:22.279
like. You know, Garry Trent
Junior. There's there's a there buddy healed.
456
00:32:22.359 --> 00:32:25.079
Like why weren't they there? They
there's some there's something. There's some
457
00:32:25.160 --> 00:32:30.319
bigger names that were actually missings.
That would have made it actually a little
458
00:32:30.319 --> 00:32:34.480
bit more competitive, because the first
a couple guys had like what, sixteen,
459
00:32:34.759 --> 00:32:37.799
eighteens, I don't know. There's
just there was missing something. Also,
460
00:32:37.839 --> 00:32:42.880
I would probably put up another extra
round in there because it seemed pretty
461
00:32:42.920 --> 00:32:45.119
short to me. There was pretty
fast. Yeah, I didn't think it
462
00:32:45.160 --> 00:32:47.559
was over. I thought there was
going to be a final between exactly exactly.
463
00:32:47.680 --> 00:32:52.519
It was literally like super fatter,
like everybody even once and then the
464
00:32:52.599 --> 00:32:54.960
top three when another time and then
as it yeah, that's a good point,
465
00:32:55.559 --> 00:33:00.319
hmm. But did go back to
your question. Yeah, I feel
466
00:33:00.359 --> 00:33:02.640
like it was a little tainted because
some of the best shooters were in there,
467
00:33:02.720 --> 00:33:06.440
but it wasn't his fault. I
mean, with all due respect,
468
00:33:06.960 --> 00:33:09.559
no, it's not tainted at all. I can segreed you up because it's
469
00:33:09.599 --> 00:33:14.640
like people saying the say it's the
same argument this like last year when the
470
00:33:14.720 --> 00:33:17.279
sun's got to the finals because,
like people were injured and stuff. It
471
00:33:17.319 --> 00:33:22.079
doesn't matter, like you play,
who's there and it's not that the actual
472
00:33:22.240 --> 00:33:24.680
title for WHO's the best shooter in
the NBA. I saw who that was
473
00:33:24.759 --> 00:33:29.240
on Sunday. I mean there's no
question. I mean it's like you bet
474
00:33:29.279 --> 00:33:31.799
you be who's there and cappy,
who's there. So I mean, yeah,
475
00:33:31.920 --> 00:33:36.839
some of the best guys weren't there, but that doesn't taint his title
476
00:33:36.960 --> 00:33:42.400
at all as the two thousand and
twenty two NBA three point champion, right
477
00:33:42.559 --> 00:33:45.680
like that. It doesn't taint that
at all. That's he is in front
478
00:33:45.720 --> 00:33:50.319
of you and he hit twenty nine. So yeah, yeah, yeah,
479
00:33:50.519 --> 00:33:52.680
I agree he did. Yeah,
I don't think it was tain it.
480
00:33:52.839 --> 00:33:55.799
Like I mean, like Dean say, is not his father. Those guys
481
00:33:55.839 --> 00:34:00.599
weren't there. But I'm just going
to say no, wasn't tanger because,
482
00:34:00.640 --> 00:34:04.359
like he was the like ads on
lowest part, like favorite to win it
483
00:34:04.440 --> 00:34:07.079
toss, like he was the only
center in there, and the fact that
484
00:34:07.160 --> 00:34:10.360
he did when it made it that
much better that he did. But I
485
00:34:10.559 --> 00:34:14.039
think, like, especially if we're
saying you might be the best jump shooting
486
00:34:14.079 --> 00:34:16.679
center of all time. This kind
of like elevates him even more into that
487
00:34:16.800 --> 00:34:20.800
space. So I think like now
it's going to become a normal thing for
488
00:34:20.920 --> 00:34:22.519
big guys be out there. So, if anything, like I think,
489
00:34:22.519 --> 00:34:27.360
because Kat has also won the skills
competition to before. Yeah, so he's
490
00:34:27.440 --> 00:34:30.920
kind of revolutionize and is showing like
what the big gang is for big guys,
491
00:34:30.000 --> 00:34:32.280
essentially. So I don't think it
is. If anything, he was
492
00:34:32.320 --> 00:34:37.519
more impressive that he wanted. Actually, yeah, does he go for the
493
00:34:37.639 --> 00:34:40.000
dunk contest next year and go for
the three peat? Oh, he he
494
00:34:40.079 --> 00:34:43.519
would. He would have got it
this year. Shit, the clean sweet,
495
00:34:43.760 --> 00:34:47.920
you just go there and just do
I got there. He good.
496
00:34:51.519 --> 00:34:53.599
There's because he would make it on
the first try. Exactly. All right,
497
00:34:53.800 --> 00:34:59.559
I we can't. Let's let's see. Yeah, let's yeah, I
498
00:34:59.800 --> 00:35:04.320
can hold my tongue no longer.
I mean we can dance around it no
499
00:35:04.519 --> 00:35:12.760
longer. Let's address the elephant in
the All star weekend room. Let's talk
500
00:35:12.840 --> 00:35:17.800
about, and I use this term
as a term of art really very loosely,
501
00:35:20.039 --> 00:35:24.559
not to be taken literally, the
dunk contest. Deon, you're my
502
00:35:24.679 --> 00:35:29.960
guy. I give you the honor
of first take on the dunk contest.
503
00:35:30.199 --> 00:35:36.559
I defer to you. All right, so, where is my mic?
504
00:35:36.960 --> 00:35:44.440
There? You know, I was
pretty high before it all went down.
505
00:35:44.719 --> 00:35:47.159
You know, we had a rookie, Jalen Green, the kuld jump out
506
00:35:47.199 --> 00:35:52.800
of Jim. We saw what he's
done throughout the season. We have called
507
00:35:52.800 --> 00:35:55.519
Anthony Short dude. That came,
that got hops. I was okay,
508
00:35:57.320 --> 00:36:00.280
I don't know why he's here,
but maybe he got you got something,
509
00:36:00.400 --> 00:36:02.559
you got something to show? Then
we know. We know I'll be topping
510
00:36:02.760 --> 00:36:07.400
is dunker. We I was super
excited to see him. And then there
511
00:36:07.559 --> 00:36:12.559
was data. For some reason,
one dunk in the season he made it
512
00:36:12.599 --> 00:36:19.239
into the dunk contest. And so
the dunk contest start off with a ten
513
00:36:19.280 --> 00:36:22.400
minute to lay because it dude has
to tie his shoes like Bro. Come
514
00:36:22.480 --> 00:36:25.199
out with the timbers. Nobody would
have been hurt, like what are you
515
00:36:25.280 --> 00:36:30.199
doing? Okay, nobody cares.
Just put them on and come out with
516
00:36:30.239 --> 00:36:32.480
it. That would have been cool. there. Now you got us all
517
00:36:32.559 --> 00:36:37.719
wait in this due missing is the
laces and everything, like Bro and then
518
00:36:37.800 --> 00:36:43.519
takes five attempts to did the first
dunk and I was like okay, he's
519
00:36:43.760 --> 00:36:50.079
know was breaking the ice. It's
normal to miss. But then it's Jalen
520
00:36:50.119 --> 00:36:59.360
greenstern and I don't think there's any
better reaction than was Shaq had for his
521
00:36:59.519 --> 00:37:04.920
attempts. He was so upset.
The commentators like this is one of shacks
522
00:37:04.960 --> 00:37:07.400
per pood. I was like damn
straight. I was like what the hell
523
00:37:07.719 --> 00:37:10.880
like? Bro, change the dunks. You tried it ten fucking times.
524
00:37:12.000 --> 00:37:15.599
What are like? What just keep
on doing the same wimill, Josh Christopher
525
00:37:15.679 --> 00:37:20.679
missing the past. Either change it, Doune will change the pastor as simple
526
00:37:20.719 --> 00:37:23.400
as that passage to yourself there.
Damn the if he would have done the
527
00:37:23.559 --> 00:37:28.840
dunk that he had at the end
of all that, it would have been
528
00:37:29.039 --> 00:37:31.360
not it would have been nine across
the bar, but it know Heit he
529
00:37:31.519 --> 00:37:36.119
was stubborn that he had to hit
that one for some reason. Wasn't even
530
00:37:36.159 --> 00:37:40.199
that cool. And then JATA comes
out. You know the Dune contest is
531
00:37:40.440 --> 00:37:45.519
something that you know. It's prays
for, the theatricals, the showmanship and
532
00:37:45.639 --> 00:37:49.800
everything. Dude just grab the ball
and went up for a Wimbo done.
533
00:37:50.000 --> 00:37:53.880
What is it is? Is this
mind boggling. It was so disappointing.
534
00:37:54.920 --> 00:38:00.079
It was by far the words dunk
contest I have personally ever seen. I
535
00:38:00.119 --> 00:38:02.840
don't know if I'm sure the ones
back in the day will even better than
536
00:38:02.880 --> 00:38:07.800
that, like before Vin scarter,
and then no creativity whatsoever is it was
537
00:38:07.880 --> 00:38:13.000
just there was nothing good about this
dunk contest. They asked ob topping it
538
00:38:13.199 --> 00:38:15.960
at the end, after he had
it. Is troking is said if they
539
00:38:15.000 --> 00:38:21.800
should have rearranged the order of the
dunk contest. I felt so bad for
540
00:38:21.960 --> 00:38:24.840
dude because I can actually tried a
little bit. I felt so bad because
541
00:38:24.920 --> 00:38:30.719
Obie topping was like actually trying.
And then everybody else was just just terrible,
542
00:38:31.400 --> 00:38:37.519
terrible. It was just I was
I mean to have the power to
543
00:38:37.639 --> 00:38:40.559
yell at at the dunk contest anymore
because I was yelling during it. The
544
00:38:40.679 --> 00:38:51.079
English language only contains got stop,
you make me laugh. The English language
545
00:38:51.159 --> 00:39:00.519
contains only a fine combination of words, and none of them adequately describe what
546
00:39:00.679 --> 00:39:06.079
I had to endure sitting on my
couch Saturday night. Um, first of
547
00:39:06.119 --> 00:39:10.360
all, after the whatever that was, I couldn't find my way too.
548
00:39:10.679 --> 00:39:16.559
I couldn't find my way to bed
because suddenly my vision had gone completely awry
549
00:39:16.880 --> 00:39:22.599
from having to watch it. You
know. I luckily through sleeping. My
550
00:39:22.719 --> 00:39:25.519
vision returned, but I briefly was
blinded by the side of that dunk contest
551
00:39:27.320 --> 00:39:30.920
and then after I managed to find
my way to bed, I couldn't sleep.
552
00:39:30.400 --> 00:39:34.679
I was haunted by it. I
just kept, you know, the
553
00:39:34.880 --> 00:39:39.440
the vision of Miss Dunk after Miss
Dunk just replaying in my mind and I
554
00:39:39.519 --> 00:39:45.639
could not sleep. That was an
absolute travesty. Yeah, that was awkward
555
00:39:45.760 --> 00:39:52.079
to watch. First of all,
what the Hell is an attempt? Can
556
00:39:52.159 --> 00:39:54.599
we come? Yes, yes,
these guys get three attempts. So why
557
00:39:54.719 --> 00:40:00.639
is Jaalen green trying the same dunk
for the twelve time? Can we clarify
558
00:40:00.880 --> 00:40:04.159
what an attempt is? You have
to touch the rim with the basketball,
559
00:40:04.400 --> 00:40:07.800
first of all. If the attempt
goes right, the basketball should never touch
560
00:40:07.840 --> 00:40:09.880
the rim. So why is that
the metric for the attempt? That's it.
561
00:40:10.079 --> 00:40:15.159
That is so stupid. It's so
stupid because they were like it has
562
00:40:15.199 --> 00:40:19.960
to be a downward motion towards the
rim. What does that even mean?
563
00:40:20.639 --> 00:40:23.320
That just gives the guy incentive to
just pull up if it's not going exactly
564
00:40:23.480 --> 00:40:27.880
right. Bring back the shock clock. This is not that hard. Second
565
00:40:27.920 --> 00:40:31.639
of all, this is the least
creative group of Dunkers I've ever seen.
566
00:40:32.920 --> 00:40:37.519
Like there was not a single attempt
to do anything remotely creative. The closest
567
00:40:37.559 --> 00:40:43.559
thing to that was colanthony with the
Timberland's, which was kind of cool.
568
00:40:43.760 --> 00:40:45.679
I mean it sucked that we had
to wait for five minutes for him to
569
00:40:45.760 --> 00:40:52.639
lace up five of ten. That
took forever. That took forever and apparently
570
00:40:52.679 --> 00:40:58.599
it was like a reference to some
anime that only like fourteen of the people
571
00:40:58.679 --> 00:41:02.599
watching would recognize. Like I didn't
the boon ducks. I was about to
572
00:41:02.639 --> 00:41:06.800
say was it Buon Dot. Okay, you guys watch it. I didn't
573
00:41:06.800 --> 00:41:09.360
even get it from I don't even
get us. You guys have seen it
574
00:41:09.480 --> 00:41:13.000
and he didn't even connect the dots
right Awout, like not at all.
575
00:41:13.519 --> 00:41:17.280
What? But I mean at least
he tried to do something creative. Everybody
576
00:41:17.320 --> 00:41:25.719
else didn't even attempt anything cool,
like no legends involved, no props,
577
00:41:27.400 --> 00:41:30.000
like what are we doing? Like
did you guys prepare it all? Like
578
00:41:30.159 --> 00:41:34.519
did you try and think through this? Like if you don't have that great
579
00:41:34.599 --> 00:41:38.320
of Dunks, which clearly nobody did, you can always be created. You
580
00:41:38.400 --> 00:41:45.239
can always do something cool that counteracts
the lack of massive fur and sick.
581
00:41:45.440 --> 00:41:51.519
You know, choreography. So there
was complete lack of creativity. And then
582
00:41:52.639 --> 00:41:57.760
why are you preparing dunks that you
can't do? Yeah, if it takes
583
00:41:57.800 --> 00:42:01.519
that many attempts, I don't know
if there's some kind of massive difference between
584
00:42:01.719 --> 00:42:07.480
like what you can do in practice
and what you can do in the dunk
585
00:42:07.559 --> 00:42:12.599
contest. I would think that adrenaline
flowing would mean that you can do go
586
00:42:12.840 --> 00:42:19.199
just a little bit higher when it's
time to perform. But I mean none
587
00:42:19.239 --> 00:42:22.280
of these dunks could be performed.
I mean while' Toscano Anderson, or was
588
00:42:22.320 --> 00:42:24.960
it will be topping? I don't
remember. I don't want to remember.
589
00:42:25.559 --> 00:42:30.719
Somebody tried a honey pot and didn't
even come close. Just Kinda yeah,
590
00:42:30.679 --> 00:42:35.480
don't dream, baby got over his
wrist. I mean, that's that's a
591
00:42:35.599 --> 00:42:37.760
marquette guy. I mean, I
know. Yeah, I mean he tried
592
00:42:37.800 --> 00:42:42.000
a honeypot. Isn't even come close. Like, what are we doing?
593
00:42:42.480 --> 00:42:46.280
We are not winning, yeah,
we are. We are not winning.
594
00:42:46.960 --> 00:42:52.039
It was so bad that it will
be topping won the dunk contest with a
595
00:42:52.119 --> 00:42:58.239
fundamentally sound lay up. Like what
are we doing? The judges were so
596
00:42:58.360 --> 00:43:00.920
bored they gave a layup damn near
a fifty. Yeah, we does it
597
00:43:01.000 --> 00:43:06.679
standing there somewhere. It literally it
kept me up at night. I couldn't
598
00:43:06.679 --> 00:43:08.679
get the images of, you know, failed dunk after failed dunk out of
599
00:43:08.719 --> 00:43:12.840
my mind. It continues to haunt
me. I asked, I think I
600
00:43:12.920 --> 00:43:16.679
saw the stat and I think they're
shooting percentages were twenty one percent as a
601
00:43:16.760 --> 00:43:21.960
whole. And we talk about Dunks, we talking about dunks that you know
602
00:43:22.320 --> 00:43:25.920
how how stupid that is. I
have a suggestion. I have a suggestion
603
00:43:27.000 --> 00:43:30.239
for Bovada. They should put a
line on a tense per dunk next here.
604
00:43:30.760 --> 00:43:35.519
Yep, everybody were. I am
hammering the over, taking them over
605
00:43:35.679 --> 00:43:39.119
every time. And, don't get
me wrong, as horrible as this dunk
606
00:43:39.199 --> 00:43:45.159
contest was, I don't put it
all in the participants. The participants,
607
00:43:45.719 --> 00:43:47.760
in fact, I give probably more
credit than anybody I'm about to mention,
608
00:43:47.880 --> 00:43:52.880
because they did show up and they
did try. Like I said, very
609
00:43:52.960 --> 00:43:57.679
poorly executed, very poorly executed,
not very well thought out, but they
610
00:43:57.719 --> 00:44:00.480
showed up, they did try.
They're willing to put themselves out there,
611
00:44:01.360 --> 00:44:07.199
which brings me to my next and
larger question of the reason the dunk contest
612
00:44:07.400 --> 00:44:10.679
was so bad was not because of
who showed up, it was because of
613
00:44:10.760 --> 00:44:17.159
who didn't show up either. The
MBA cannot identify the best dunkers in the
614
00:44:17.239 --> 00:44:23.199
league and has no idea who can
really get up, because colanthony cannot get
615
00:44:23.320 --> 00:44:27.719
up that high. He really can't. He has no business being in the
616
00:44:27.760 --> 00:44:30.559
All Star game. I give him
full marks for showing up and trying,
617
00:44:30.679 --> 00:44:32.519
like I keep saying, but there's
no reason he should be in the dunk
618
00:44:32.559 --> 00:44:37.440
contest. Same with one Tuscano Anderson. So either the NBA has no clue
619
00:44:37.519 --> 00:44:43.960
and they're inviting the wrong people,
or the much more probable scenario, which
620
00:44:44.079 --> 00:44:49.920
is these guys were way down the
list and literally everybody else rejected being in
621
00:44:49.920 --> 00:44:52.239
the dunk contest. And that's why
the Don contest sucks and that's why I
622
00:44:52.320 --> 00:44:55.800
briefly lost my vision after having to
watch it. Is because the guys who
623
00:44:55.840 --> 00:44:59.920
can really dunk and the guys who
can really put on a show don't want
624
00:44:59.920 --> 00:45:01.480
to to do it, and that
has to change. Somebody has to come
625
00:45:01.519 --> 00:45:06.199
in like Zac lavine and Aaron Gorn
did and saved the dunk contest. I
626
00:45:06.320 --> 00:45:08.800
mean yeah, if a lot of
these guys were invited and they turned it
627
00:45:08.920 --> 00:45:12.840
down. There the problem, and
I don't know who it is, but
628
00:45:14.000 --> 00:45:16.519
they are the reason that Dun contest
sucks, not because of cold Anthony Cole
629
00:45:16.519 --> 00:45:20.000
Anthony and want this kind of interesting. Their vertical is what it is,
630
00:45:20.760 --> 00:45:22.480
and I mean they could have been
more creative, but they showed up and
631
00:45:22.480 --> 00:45:25.440
they tried. Versus everybody else too, just turned it down and doesn't want
632
00:45:25.480 --> 00:45:29.239
to do it. So after there's
my ram you did. You know,
633
00:45:29.320 --> 00:45:31.679
it's hard to follow that up but
Um, I'm just gonna say it because
634
00:45:31.679 --> 00:45:36.840
I feel like we've been somewhat nice, that they have been the worst don't
635
00:45:36.920 --> 00:45:40.280
contest, not just in NBA history, in the history since James Naismith and
636
00:45:40.400 --> 00:45:46.519
been the game back into at I
think that has said Duncan the basketball back
637
00:45:46.800 --> 00:45:51.519
quite so not just history, maybe
a history of basketball. That might even
638
00:45:51.519 --> 00:45:55.360
the worst contest I've ever seen.
Here's the thing. Talent fell asleep during
639
00:45:55.360 --> 00:45:59.199
the dunk contest and I was pretty
up somewhat. You going to leave me
640
00:45:59.280 --> 00:46:00.599
here to watch this by myself?
I was like, let know, you
641
00:46:00.760 --> 00:46:07.920
suffer too. You Suffer Watch these
grown miss dunkes with no defenders. There's
642
00:46:07.000 --> 00:46:15.239
nobody like Col Anthony. You six
three. On a good day, you're
643
00:46:15.280 --> 00:46:17.920
going to put on like thirty pounds
shoes and that's supposed to help you get
644
00:46:19.000 --> 00:46:22.480
up hired. Anybody who walks around
it tims nose. Your big toe is
645
00:46:22.559 --> 00:46:28.320
numb after two steps. Cold.
What are you doing? That's what I
646
00:46:28.440 --> 00:46:34.440
said, like who, come on, son, Tam's are for walking around
647
00:46:34.519 --> 00:46:37.599
and snow, not trying to get
Max elevation. Science, baby, science.
648
00:46:38.239 --> 00:46:43.280
That's what I'm doing. What are
you doing? Okay, and the
649
00:46:43.400 --> 00:46:50.199
next thing, I have truly legitimately
seen better dunks on the NERF POPs right.
650
00:46:50.559 --> 00:46:52.599
I've seen my boys get out with
the ones you hang on the back
651
00:46:52.679 --> 00:46:55.480
of your door. I've seen my
friends get up and do some sickety dunk
652
00:46:55.599 --> 00:47:00.199
on those. Like I've seen much
better. So I don't know how like
653
00:47:00.960 --> 00:47:02.880
and today on to be honest point, I only had that in my note.
654
00:47:04.360 --> 00:47:06.760
I am going to go out on
the limb and I was willing to
655
00:47:06.760 --> 00:47:09.719
be out. I put a mortgage
on this. They shot higher percentage from
656
00:47:09.760 --> 00:47:14.920
the three point line in the previous
secret. Then he did dunk in the
657
00:47:15.000 --> 00:47:17.639
basketball, which is sad. Which
is true. That is says. It's
658
00:47:17.679 --> 00:47:21.960
like this appointing. I guess so
bad. Yeah, and I'm wondered.
659
00:47:22.000 --> 00:47:25.280
I'm like, my man, want
to kind of he has one backdoor dunk
660
00:47:25.360 --> 00:47:30.000
on Javale McGee and that's all it
took to get him in the dunk contest.
661
00:47:30.119 --> 00:47:31.760
Oh Yeah, you know he don't
do Javale McGee on the back door.
662
00:47:31.840 --> 00:47:35.679
You must be good, my man, call Anthony Had A. I
663
00:47:35.760 --> 00:47:38.400
think a wide open lay up or
dunk package is Detroit as like yeah,
664
00:47:38.800 --> 00:47:43.039
I think I think they will do
it. OBE topping does it? East
665
00:47:43.079 --> 00:47:46.480
pay in game? Yeah, I
think that'll do it. Jason Green Jumps
666
00:47:46.480 --> 00:47:51.719
Pretty High. I think that do
except Jalen Green. I mean I truly
667
00:47:51.800 --> 00:47:55.480
think, like his first attempt was
longer than the whole walking day series along,
668
00:47:55.599 --> 00:48:00.840
like he was out there just,
you know. And then Josh Christopher,
669
00:48:01.000 --> 00:48:06.360
my man, my man, sit
down if you can, have a
670
00:48:06.440 --> 00:48:10.079
seat in your leather pants and let
somebody else give it a missing. Me
671
00:48:10.199 --> 00:48:17.480
Off this of me off with the
shady pass like sick right about you.
672
00:48:17.599 --> 00:48:22.039
You can't. You not a pastor, you are a scorer. So sick
673
00:48:22.239 --> 00:48:25.639
yasss dumb. All Right, I'm
just so mad. I'm like what Y'all
674
00:48:25.719 --> 00:48:30.639
do it? You know what it. We only topping. My man is
675
00:48:30.719 --> 00:48:32.440
like, you know what, I'm
a win of dunk contest on the East
676
00:48:32.480 --> 00:48:36.760
Bay off the glass, and I'm
sorry if the East Bay has now become
677
00:48:36.880 --> 00:48:37.960
not as important as it used to
be, because I'm like, Oh,
678
00:48:38.039 --> 00:48:42.800
that's his backup down, but I
mean that's all it really took. I
679
00:48:42.920 --> 00:48:45.000
think Cole Anthony, he might get
the shack in the war because he heard
680
00:48:45.039 --> 00:48:49.440
his thumb on the Damn Rim mid
game. I'm pretty sure the magic were
681
00:48:49.480 --> 00:48:52.920
happy to see him out there,
probably with a torn ligments now from Duncan
682
00:48:53.679 --> 00:48:59.639
I just have so many words on
what this contest was not like. I'd
683
00:48:59.760 --> 00:49:02.599
rather see like the kids on tick
tock who do trick layups. That was
684
00:49:02.679 --> 00:49:07.280
more and that's more In'taining than me, because they at least make a higher
685
00:49:07.280 --> 00:49:10.320
percentage of what these dudes are doing. Like John Brent within four minutes,
686
00:49:10.360 --> 00:49:14.440
and Taylor said this yesterday, John
Moreale, with the four minutes of the
687
00:49:14.519 --> 00:49:16.639
All Star game, had the best
don't for the week. Like that's what.
688
00:49:17.039 --> 00:49:22.119
Definitely got more cheers on that than
anybody all Saturday. Right, that
689
00:49:22.519 --> 00:49:28.760
was a national traveshty. I think
everybody who paid or who logged into the
690
00:49:28.840 --> 00:49:31.480
TNT APP should be awarded our back
of their time. I don't know how
691
00:49:31.559 --> 00:49:35.480
it works. If daylight saving will
give you that our back, but got
692
00:49:35.559 --> 00:49:42.159
damn because that was wrong. We
were wrong a Saturday night. We as
693
00:49:42.320 --> 00:49:45.039
viewers and me and Dian Or,
you know, soon to be lawyer.
694
00:49:45.159 --> 00:49:50.519
So we're considering bringing a class action
lawsuit what we had to sit through.
695
00:49:50.920 --> 00:49:57.559
False advertisement. That creates a contractual
relationship and they breach that relationship. We've
696
00:49:57.599 --> 00:50:02.000
been wronged by the NBA's negligence of
putting that on television. It was so
697
00:50:02.280 --> 00:50:07.199
bad that even though they got a
hunter of tense per person, somebody still
698
00:50:07.719 --> 00:50:14.519
was not able to make the dump. They call anthony literally exhausted his attempts.
699
00:50:14.639 --> 00:50:17.800
I don't know how that happened,
because Dyley Green went two hundred times
700
00:50:19.719 --> 00:50:23.440
and call Anthony Win four times and
couldn'tdunt anymore. Like what? It just
701
00:50:23.559 --> 00:50:29.639
doesn't make any sense to me.
Like you know my man, just Kotto
702
00:50:29.719 --> 00:50:32.400
Anderson. This was super ran.
He walks up to Dr Jay's like,
703
00:50:32.480 --> 00:50:35.559
Oh, can you sign this ball
for me? About to do it.
704
00:50:35.920 --> 00:50:39.639
Yeah, sure, DR J is
like, I don't even know it's ball
705
00:50:39.800 --> 00:50:45.280
for. Then Jay walks out with
the NFT necklace, like it's like a
706
00:50:45.360 --> 00:50:47.719
highlight. He gives it to I
forgot David Right. He gave to somebody
707
00:50:47.760 --> 00:50:53.039
and they were like wear it.
I was so confused. I was so
708
00:50:53.199 --> 00:50:58.719
doing. What's going on? All
these props, like you gotta make a
709
00:50:58.840 --> 00:51:01.559
dunk first, you know, worry
about the props layer, like Dr Jay
710
00:51:01.679 --> 00:51:06.239
is like just kind of what what
am I signess for? Like who?
711
00:51:09.880 --> 00:51:15.360
Dr Jacob done better as sixty?
Then what I want to start. Actually,
712
00:51:15.840 --> 00:51:22.119
they loose. I feel tremize.
I feel tremendous, GIL because I
713
00:51:22.320 --> 00:51:27.199
was watching with my wife and she
kept looking down on her phone and I
714
00:51:27.360 --> 00:51:30.519
told her to put down her phone
so we could enjoy it together. It
715
00:51:30.639 --> 00:51:32.719
turns out she was right and I
was wasting my time. I should have
716
00:51:32.800 --> 00:51:38.320
been also looking at my phone.
Also, can we stop with the non
717
00:51:39.840 --> 00:51:45.719
elite passers coming out and throwing the
passes for the dunk contest? These guys
718
00:51:45.719 --> 00:51:49.639
are not ready for prime time.
Okay, either need to lose an NBA
719
00:51:49.800 --> 00:51:52.840
legend or one of your teammates or
something, because these guys choked under pressure.
720
00:51:53.039 --> 00:51:57.639
Okay, they are not ready to
throw a good pass as soon as
721
00:51:57.679 --> 00:52:00.239
the cameras come on. Okay,
Greg Anthony couldn't even hold the ball for
722
00:52:00.320 --> 00:52:05.239
the first dounk. He did put
that on by me is just a position
723
00:52:05.440 --> 00:52:07.880
goal. Had No idea where to
put them. Okay, don't you Derek
724
00:52:07.960 --> 00:52:12.599
Slander Greg at its rehearse this,
like what are we what are we doing?
725
00:52:13.519 --> 00:52:15.440
I mean, Grek was standing where
he was told and Cole had no
726
00:52:15.519 --> 00:52:19.880
idea where he wanted them. Fair, fair, but I mean like how
727
00:52:20.519 --> 00:52:22.719
I mean this has been happening for
years now. Of like these guys who
728
00:52:22.800 --> 00:52:29.159
come out. It's like their sibling
or their agents or you know somebody,
729
00:52:29.239 --> 00:52:30.639
and they can't throw the past right
and we all have to stay here for
730
00:52:30.760 --> 00:52:35.719
five minutes while this poor person on
national television has no idea how to throw
731
00:52:35.800 --> 00:52:38.880
the pass correctly. Like, use
your teammates. Your teammates are used to
732
00:52:38.920 --> 00:52:44.000
being on national television. Use an
NBA legend. Okay, bring out John
733
00:52:44.039 --> 00:52:49.360
Stockton or Steve Nash or something like. The thing going is his teammate.
734
00:52:49.880 --> 00:52:52.639
That's what's the worst part is Josh
person here is a professional player, for
735
00:52:52.840 --> 00:52:58.000
there's no shot. He plays the
Houston Rockets. That is the worst part.
736
00:52:58.480 --> 00:53:00.480
Okay, if we're Havn't finished in
the top ten and assists, then
737
00:53:00.559 --> 00:53:06.639
don't use them. I'm tired of
it. But, like you said,
738
00:53:07.159 --> 00:53:09.000
like you get that, you guys
said. I was watching it with live
739
00:53:09.119 --> 00:53:15.159
and I was like they just just
don't worry. They saving it for later.
740
00:53:15.239 --> 00:53:17.719
They save all the bus duns for
later. Later never came. I
741
00:53:17.840 --> 00:53:22.840
kept apologizing for the day. Yes, sorry, look here, here,
742
00:53:22.920 --> 00:53:25.320
look up, look up, Babe, here he goes. Yeah, yeah,
743
00:53:25.519 --> 00:53:29.440
never mind, he breaks, like
you know, I'm just gonna put
744
00:53:29.440 --> 00:53:30.800
the Mac and cheese bites in oven. You go back, you go back
745
00:53:30.840 --> 00:53:39.079
to sleep. Cheese pipes pretty.
That's all. Yeah, sounds like sounds
746
00:53:39.079 --> 00:53:45.320
like a classy evening. Nope,
for sure, night was having ranch in
747
00:53:45.400 --> 00:53:50.920
the fridge to but, and I
I mean I don't know, but I
748
00:53:51.000 --> 00:53:53.320
can say this with full confidence that
those Mac and cheese byites were probably the
749
00:53:53.360 --> 00:54:01.320
best part of the night. Oh
successful only thing, that first one right
750
00:54:01.400 --> 00:54:09.719
in one attempt, was the Mac
and cheese by Barna. I was like,
751
00:54:09.800 --> 00:54:13.239
Oh, we should get wings,
we should get talk of them.
752
00:54:13.400 --> 00:54:15.440
She was like, I'm telling you, like, it's not gonna be that
753
00:54:15.559 --> 00:54:16.360
Gud. I was like, Oh, tew, you shut your mouth.
754
00:54:16.559 --> 00:54:22.199
She Hun Right. Oh Man.
So I mean all of us strit with
755
00:54:22.360 --> 00:54:25.639
great confidence, can say this was
the worst one contest of all time,
756
00:54:27.599 --> 00:54:31.360
and even close. Yep. So
then, with that being said, we
757
00:54:31.480 --> 00:54:37.000
thrown out a few suggestions, but
the NBA reaches out to us and they
758
00:54:37.039 --> 00:54:42.239
should. You have my phone number, Adam Silber, to us to right
759
00:54:42.639 --> 00:54:46.559
to fix the dunk contest. How
do we fix the DUN contest? J
760
00:54:47.119 --> 00:54:51.360
What do you think needs to be
done to fix the dum contest? So,
761
00:54:52.440 --> 00:54:55.159
honestly, think like I get it, like what you were saying about
762
00:54:55.280 --> 00:54:59.199
you know, the stars aren't doing
it. I don't know that trend.
763
00:54:59.360 --> 00:55:02.039
I'M gonna I'M gonna blame Lebron,
like I think what he said he wasn't
764
00:55:02.079 --> 00:55:05.199
doing it. I think a lot
of superstar said, well, I'm not
765
00:55:05.280 --> 00:55:08.840
doing it either. But here's the
thing, like if you go on Instagram,
766
00:55:09.000 --> 00:55:13.440
you just look at the street parks, we're guys du Dun't contest.
767
00:55:13.880 --> 00:55:15.960
Some of these guys like this is
legit all they do. They can't shoot,
768
00:55:16.039 --> 00:55:19.840
they can't dribble, they just go
to the gym do LEGAS, tension
769
00:55:19.920 --> 00:55:22.760
and squats and she jump up the
gym. Like I think the NBA should
770
00:55:22.800 --> 00:55:29.639
look at doing a tournament or some
kind of dunk off and then the culmination
771
00:55:29.760 --> 00:55:32.960
of it be at all star Saturday
night, like these are the top five
772
00:55:34.159 --> 00:55:37.679
or six donkers from across the United
States or Goldly, like internationally. Do
773
00:55:37.760 --> 00:55:39.159
whatever you got to do. But
because some of these guys, like our
774
00:55:39.280 --> 00:55:44.440
professional dunkers, like this is their
thing and they have more creativity just because,
775
00:55:44.480 --> 00:55:45.679
like this is all they can work
on. But I think, like
776
00:55:46.079 --> 00:55:50.599
you stopped trying to get guys to
do in the NBA because clearly, like
777
00:55:50.880 --> 00:55:53.079
I think, that trend just isn't
happening anymore, like the stars aren't doing
778
00:55:53.159 --> 00:55:57.119
it, and I think part of
it is like they're scared to be embarrassed,
779
00:55:57.400 --> 00:56:00.360
scared to be like, you know, roasted like these guys who just
780
00:56:00.440 --> 00:56:02.599
did this past Saturday are. So
I say you go and you get,
781
00:56:02.960 --> 00:56:06.119
you know, guys off the street
who this is like what they do,
782
00:56:06.719 --> 00:56:09.079
and you say, Hey, like
winner gets a million or two million,
783
00:56:09.119 --> 00:56:12.920
whatever it is, but you wo
Incenti fizes that because I think you'll get
784
00:56:13.039 --> 00:56:15.719
more effort and creativity from guys who, like you know, this is like
785
00:56:16.000 --> 00:56:20.239
this might be their one shot.
But I think as far as NBA guys
786
00:56:20.320 --> 00:56:23.079
doing it, that Shit might have
sailed like at least the superstars doing it
787
00:56:23.960 --> 00:56:28.440
one hundred percent. They that was
going to suggest something similar. I was
788
00:56:28.519 --> 00:56:31.079
going to say embarrassed, the embarrassed, the NBA players that are on the
789
00:56:31.199 --> 00:56:36.440
dunk contest. Just put them up
like too against to with to like street
790
00:56:36.519 --> 00:56:39.599
hoopers and two NBA Players, Oh, to two of the ones that you
791
00:56:39.679 --> 00:56:44.159
said do it professionally, like the
do kill, Gammon, kills some whatever,
792
00:56:44.280 --> 00:56:47.880
Jordan Killigan. Yeah, that be
just bring him in because or or
793
00:56:49.280 --> 00:56:52.039
at the very least, if you
can only have NBA players, at the
794
00:56:52.199 --> 00:56:57.719
very least just have these guys coach
the NBA players on how to be creative,
795
00:56:58.519 --> 00:57:01.920
because they clearly know what they're doing. They have dune contest all like
796
00:57:02.320 --> 00:57:07.320
either around. So I mean either
have them coached the NBA players, or
797
00:57:07.360 --> 00:57:12.760
go against them. So I will
assure you know, NBA player won't want
798
00:57:12.800 --> 00:57:15.239
to be outshine by regular street dude. So they going. They don't put
799
00:57:15.280 --> 00:57:20.440
their work in. So yeah,
and one of the things I've heard since
800
00:57:20.519 --> 00:57:23.920
the dunk contest is that's just not
possible. Like, you know, whatever,
801
00:57:24.280 --> 00:57:28.760
everything cool is already been done and
these street dunkers, like you guys
802
00:57:28.800 --> 00:57:31.360
are talking about, prove that that's
just bullshit. These guys keep coming up
803
00:57:31.400 --> 00:57:36.960
with great stuff and you know,
yeah, that's like saying, you know,
804
00:57:37.440 --> 00:57:39.360
all the good movies have already been
made and all of the great artwork
805
00:57:39.400 --> 00:57:43.760
it's already been painted. That's just
not true. That's just exactly, and
806
00:57:43.840 --> 00:57:47.119
I mean den stole my idea of
you pair an NBA player with a professional
807
00:57:47.239 --> 00:57:51.840
dunker and they're like a team.
Yeah, or you expand it to the
808
00:57:51.920 --> 00:57:57.480
g league or, HMM, yeah, you find a way to incentivize stars
809
00:57:57.719 --> 00:58:00.320
like who the don't counts. That
would be fire. Yeah, it means
810
00:58:00.519 --> 00:58:05.800
to that dope. Yeah, you
pair one of these like professional dunkers within
811
00:58:05.880 --> 00:58:07.719
it with the NBA player in their
team. Yeah, that'd be fine.
812
00:58:07.760 --> 00:58:10.719
That way you have a partner for
all of the dunks where you need like
813
00:58:10.840 --> 00:58:14.559
somebody to throw you a lab or
something. That's on your partner to get
814
00:58:14.559 --> 00:58:19.639
it right. And the second thing
is I one of the reasons, and
815
00:58:19.880 --> 00:58:22.639
you know VJ touched on this,
about the embarrassment or like not wanting to
816
00:58:22.679 --> 00:58:27.440
put themselves out there, but the
dunk contest has been ruined for some of
817
00:58:27.519 --> 00:58:30.480
the great dunkers like Aaron Gordon and
Derek Jones Jr, because the judging has
818
00:58:30.519 --> 00:58:35.800
been bad, and so I think, yeah, away with judges. Just
819
00:58:35.880 --> 00:58:37.840
do a fan vote. Like how
cool would that be if you just to
820
00:58:38.039 --> 00:58:44.079
log on to the NBA APP do
a live score? Like, yes,
821
00:58:44.960 --> 00:58:46.679
you know, there might be a
little bit of biased, but millions of
822
00:58:46.719 --> 00:58:50.519
people watching it, we want to
be impressed. If we see a great
823
00:58:50.599 --> 00:58:53.400
dunk, we're going to give it
at ten. Yeah, one hundred percent.
824
00:58:53.440 --> 00:58:59.039
I totally agree that. That would
be so much about. That's genius,
825
00:58:59.039 --> 00:59:02.920
because you get more viewership to more
viewership, like exactly. Yeah,
826
00:59:04.039 --> 00:59:07.920
it's so it's a very ball don't
lie type of thing of like either all
827
00:59:07.000 --> 00:59:12.519
of us are impressed or were not, and it's not like we're really trying
828
00:59:12.639 --> 00:59:15.519
to. I think like the All
star voting is a good example of like
829
00:59:15.639 --> 00:59:19.800
fans are just incredibly biased, but
I feel like when it comes to the
830
00:59:19.880 --> 00:59:22.880
dunk contest, I feel like you
could trust fans of like we want to
831
00:59:22.960 --> 00:59:25.679
be impressed and if we see a
sick dunk, I don't think we're going
832
00:59:25.760 --> 00:59:30.440
to hold it against somebody else.
Oh, facts. Yeah, so something
833
00:59:30.519 --> 00:59:35.000
has to be done with the judging
because that you know, that's the reason
834
00:59:35.000 --> 00:59:38.360
why we don't see Aaron Gordon and
Derrik Down's Jr anymore because they got screwed
835
00:59:38.519 --> 00:59:44.400
because of the voting going Wade,
and so they won't do it anymore and
836
00:59:44.400 --> 00:59:45.639
I think that's ruined it for a
lot of people. And thank you for
837
00:59:45.719 --> 00:59:51.159
bringing up bringing up Lebron. I
hold it against Lebron just a little bit
838
00:59:51.559 --> 00:59:54.480
that he was like the first huge
star to just totally do cool for the
839
00:59:54.559 --> 00:59:59.480
dunk contest and that's done before him. All the greats did it. Who
840
00:59:59.519 --> 01:00:02.559
could act? Julie Jam so I
don't know. It needs to be fixed.
841
01:00:02.719 --> 01:00:07.480
It is broken. It's broken,
but I mean just past two minutes
842
01:00:07.519 --> 01:00:09.960
we've had some pretty good ideas of
how to fix it. So hopefully this
843
01:00:10.119 --> 01:00:15.559
was bad. There's really really I'm
so going to call us. Yeah,
844
01:00:15.559 --> 01:00:21.800
yeah, my number. I mean, I think this done con and it
845
01:00:21.880 --> 01:00:25.000
gives me hope because the NBA,
with every with everything else, with the
846
01:00:25.039 --> 01:00:29.880
all star weekend, everything else they've
changed the format of has been really good.
847
01:00:30.719 --> 01:00:34.159
Let me talk about the skills challenge. Was Fire. The allstar games
848
01:00:34.559 --> 01:00:37.519
absolutely fire. Yeah, and they
change the format of that, and so
849
01:00:37.760 --> 01:00:40.880
it gives me hope that they will
be able to fix the Dune contest.
850
01:00:43.159 --> 01:00:47.199
Thank you for sending through that that
this was very therapeutic for us. Verry,
851
01:00:49.840 --> 01:00:53.360
I still might see professional help about
the feelings I've felt after watching the
852
01:00:53.440 --> 01:00:59.079
dunk contest. I was that filled
with anger and rage and sadness, but
853
01:00:59.480 --> 01:01:02.559
this helped for sure. So thank
you all listeners for letting us get that
854
01:01:02.679 --> 01:01:07.400
off our chest. All right,
let's talk about the absolute banger that was
855
01:01:07.480 --> 01:01:13.719
the Allstar game. Theon. What
were your takeaways from the All Star Game?
856
01:01:14.719 --> 01:01:19.559
So I'm going to start with with
Steff Steph made live a believer yesterday
857
01:01:19.960 --> 01:01:22.760
and now that's her favorite player and
I'm really upset about that. But we're
858
01:01:22.800 --> 01:01:27.920
going to move on from that.
I even I was dichy have if she
859
01:01:28.000 --> 01:01:30.360
watched the All Star game. Huh. I mean, what choice did she
860
01:01:30.480 --> 01:01:34.719
have if she watched us there?
That's fair. This dude was literally shooting't
861
01:01:34.719 --> 01:01:38.119
from everywhere on the floor. It
was insane. I was like Shit,
862
01:01:38.320 --> 01:01:44.199
is he my favorite? I do
like what's really going on. So it's
863
01:01:44.280 --> 01:01:46.800
needless to say that step was incredible. I think it was one of the
864
01:01:46.880 --> 01:01:52.639
most competitive, if not the most
competitive, Allstar game I've personally ever watched.
865
01:01:52.719 --> 01:01:55.840
Besides the Kobe one and I just
love the new format. They go
866
01:01:57.039 --> 01:02:00.880
quarterbay quarter and they donate to tear
you whoever wins. I think that makes
867
01:02:00.920 --> 01:02:04.760
it more competitive. I think that
Elim ending it makes it more competitive.
868
01:02:04.760 --> 01:02:07.719
It was just all around, is
a great time. It was. It
869
01:02:07.840 --> 01:02:12.480
was as good it was. I
loved it. It's a sidebar for the
870
01:02:13.360 --> 01:02:16.119
for the halftime show, the which
was like two hours long, but the
871
01:02:16.239 --> 01:02:19.960
rest was amazing. Yeah, I
mean, I totally agree. The new
872
01:02:20.039 --> 01:02:23.320
format is just a huge W don't
get me wrong, I don't want to
873
01:02:23.320 --> 01:02:25.840
watch a regular game. When I
watched the All Star game, it's fun
874
01:02:25.920 --> 01:02:30.000
that you get three quarters of messing
around and lobs and half court threes and
875
01:02:30.760 --> 01:02:35.239
all kinds of stuff, but I
love that it's paired with the fourth quarter
876
01:02:35.360 --> 01:02:38.119
that is actually competitive, that you
actually see guys going at it, rebounding,
877
01:02:38.239 --> 01:02:42.840
playing defense, trying to back each
other down and stuff. That is
878
01:02:42.960 --> 01:02:45.639
just awesome. Yeah, to actually
watch them go at it for a quarter
879
01:02:45.719 --> 01:02:52.880
and actually try that, it's just
so cool. And Yeah, go ahead,
880
01:02:52.920 --> 01:02:57.239
yeah, now I was gonna say
it's the perfect mix mix between competition
881
01:02:57.440 --> 01:03:00.480
and fun. It was just perfect. Yeah, and obviously, like all
882
01:03:00.519 --> 01:03:05.119
of you guys, Steph curry isn't
God. Yeah, like everyone knows he's
883
01:03:05.159 --> 01:03:09.360
the best shooter in the League,
but it's surprising to me just how far
884
01:03:09.519 --> 01:03:14.079
in front of everyone else he is. Like he looks like he could just
885
01:03:14.159 --> 01:03:16.320
go out and score sixty points a
game if you wanted to. Yeah,
886
01:03:16.920 --> 01:03:22.559
they literally started double at it's not
like they weren't even Great Lady Guard and
887
01:03:22.679 --> 01:03:27.000
Half Court. Yeah, like,
if you ever seen a double team in
888
01:03:27.000 --> 01:03:30.239
the All Star game, because I
haven't seen one before. This man is
889
01:03:30.320 --> 01:03:37.960
killing other pros that badly. Just
just insane. And I love the halftime
890
01:03:37.079 --> 01:03:40.519
too. Yes, it was long. Yes, it was disrespectful to some
891
01:03:40.599 --> 01:03:45.639
of these NBA legends who are ninety
years old and had to stay entire out.
892
01:03:45.840 --> 01:03:50.280
Yet my man, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, can barely stand up. Get
893
01:03:50.360 --> 01:03:52.719
my man a chair if you're going
to make it that long. That is
894
01:03:52.840 --> 01:03:55.320
disri actually had a tear. He's
the only one that had a tear.
895
01:03:55.760 --> 01:04:00.039
Thank goodness. All right, I
can. I can sleep now, but
896
01:04:00.639 --> 01:04:02.639
I mean some of these guys,
Jerry West, Jerry West is a million
897
01:04:02.760 --> 01:04:06.199
years old. You're making him stand
up for you, like, let him
898
01:04:06.239 --> 01:04:10.840
out first. What are we doing? I I mean that that presentation was
899
01:04:10.920 --> 01:04:15.079
super cool. Super Cool having the
seventy five anniversary team there. That was
900
01:04:15.519 --> 01:04:23.480
awesome. That was so cool.
You did what we your takeaways a lot
901
01:04:23.559 --> 01:04:27.800
of what you guys are saying like
my exact thoughts. Obviously, Steph curry
902
01:04:27.880 --> 01:04:31.960
is a Cheeko. Not Fair at
all when you can have a Guy Goes
903
01:04:32.079 --> 01:04:35.079
Sixteen for twenty seven in a regular, I mean not a regulation game,
904
01:04:35.199 --> 01:04:41.039
but just hit six threes in an
NBA contest, like with defense on,
905
01:04:41.239 --> 01:04:44.679
I think it's insane. I think
another thing too, that's kind of under
906
01:04:44.719 --> 01:04:48.159
the radar is my man, Lebron
is now five and old, as captain
907
01:04:48.280 --> 01:04:54.039
of like the All sir. I
know people always like joke about the GM
908
01:04:54.159 --> 01:04:56.599
thing. If you give Lebron like
a pool of talent, actually, like
909
01:04:56.719 --> 01:05:00.320
let him choose his roster and not
have robab link and he might get some
910
01:05:00.480 --> 01:05:03.440
things done. But Um, I
thought his team like was really well put
911
01:05:03.559 --> 01:05:09.079
together, and my man Yan is
quietly was like playing for real, like
912
01:05:09.320 --> 01:05:15.920
trying to yeah, yeah, going
hard for a layout here, smacking out
913
01:05:15.960 --> 01:05:18.360
the gay. I was so sick
not to think this, not to do
914
01:05:18.480 --> 01:05:25.079
that, you know. And then
this new format, like we're all saying,
915
01:05:25.119 --> 01:05:28.079
like two years ago, Chris Paul
and the competition committee sad now with
916
01:05:28.159 --> 01:05:30.960
like Yo, we need to think
about making this more competitive, especially an
917
01:05:31.000 --> 01:05:35.000
honor and Kobe like his competitive fire. Let's think of some and this new
918
01:05:35.079 --> 01:05:40.400
format, like you guys are saying, is amazing because now I guys really
919
01:05:40.480 --> 01:05:43.239
do try like you, see you
all and be call it for the ball,
920
01:05:44.559 --> 01:05:46.400
trying to make it, you know, more interesting for his team.
921
01:05:46.960 --> 01:05:50.960
It puts the pro bowl in the
NFL to complete shame. I think it
922
01:05:51.119 --> 01:05:58.000
makes the NFL All Star weekend look
absolutely tragic and I think the whole part
923
01:05:58.079 --> 01:06:00.760
where they try to win the quarter, it's competitive throughout because, like when
924
01:06:00.800 --> 01:06:04.480
you win the quarter, you win
money for a charity for those kids and
925
01:06:04.599 --> 01:06:09.159
those kids which is really cool to
get to come sit at like at courtside
926
01:06:09.199 --> 01:06:12.480
and watch this all go down.
And I think that also because the players
927
01:06:12.519 --> 01:06:15.800
do really care about kids and giving
back to so that part adds another element
928
01:06:15.880 --> 01:06:19.639
to it. And then I thought
that the NBAS seventy five thing was really,
929
01:06:19.679 --> 01:06:24.400
really cool to see because I wasn't
alive when the last, you know,
930
01:06:24.639 --> 01:06:28.039
the greatest fifty players were came out. I wasn't alive to see that.
931
01:06:28.400 --> 01:06:30.599
So getting to see it it's time
around, having that collection of talent
932
01:06:30.679 --> 01:06:34.840
out there was pretty cool because you
could tell, like the NBA, for
933
01:06:35.000 --> 01:06:38.960
all the drama and all the bs
that kind of happens in between it,
934
01:06:39.159 --> 01:06:42.239
it really is a brotherhood and I
thought it was really cool to see a
935
01:06:42.280 --> 01:06:45.719
lot of guys embrace me should like. I know we have the Lebron MJ
936
01:06:45.880 --> 01:06:48.199
debate and it gets heated and everybody
has almost every other week, but those
937
01:06:48.280 --> 01:06:51.280
two were just embraced each other with
chall thought was really cool. So it
938
01:06:51.400 --> 01:06:55.960
was cool to have that collection,
like the five greatest players so much still
939
01:06:56.039 --> 01:06:59.039
here with US summer now, obviously, but to have that kind of talent
940
01:06:59.199 --> 01:07:01.519
and one gym like that's a lot
of bucket. That's a lot of greatness.
941
01:07:01.639 --> 01:07:05.039
So, besides the dunk contest,
I thought, you know, all
942
01:07:05.079 --> 01:07:10.639
star game, while start weekn was
phenomenal. One hundred yeah, I'm waiting
943
01:07:10.679 --> 01:07:15.960
for the NBA to release the patch
notes. First, Steph Curry, you
944
01:07:15.079 --> 01:07:20.800
know where they explain the nerve op
police nerve, his range. It's good,
945
01:07:20.880 --> 01:07:25.800
yeah, control, but yeah,
I'm with you. I mean,
946
01:07:25.880 --> 01:07:28.960
and how cool is it to see
Lebron hit the fade away in Cleveland to
947
01:07:29.039 --> 01:07:31.559
put in Cleveland. That was amazing. Your predictions gonna Happen, TC.
948
01:07:31.679 --> 01:07:34.199
I think I'm telling you. So
that was the most fun. That's the
949
01:07:34.280 --> 01:07:39.760
most time Lebron has smiles in space
champ. Like this season has been awful.
950
01:07:39.800 --> 01:07:42.519
Phill APROSS, how was the like? He's like, Oh my God,
951
01:07:42.639 --> 01:07:45.400
my point guard can actually shoot.
Now, this is different for me.
952
01:07:45.840 --> 01:07:51.760
Then he wakes up back to work
in Alle. He's like, yeah,
953
01:07:51.920 --> 01:07:57.079
that's happening. He's gonna Reality's going
to hit him hard. When they
954
01:07:57.239 --> 01:08:01.239
started the season by go on Thursday. Yeah, I mean that was just
955
01:08:01.360 --> 01:08:05.519
a huge de wi from the beginning. I mean my new favorite NBA tradition
956
01:08:05.880 --> 01:08:13.519
is to watch Lebron and Katie troll
each other during the All star draft.
957
01:08:13.679 --> 01:08:17.920
That's how awesome that was. Over
content. You know what, watching Katie
958
01:08:18.079 --> 01:08:21.279
have to smile against his will at's. You know some of the barbs that
959
01:08:21.479 --> 01:08:27.680
chuck. Theres this trouble Barsi you
can't help you can't. That's I mean
960
01:08:27.720 --> 01:08:30.359
it's hilarious. That's just a great
tradition. So just the All Star game
961
01:08:30.479 --> 01:08:33.840
with the new format, just from
beginning to end, it's just a huge
962
01:08:34.119 --> 01:08:39.640
w I'm just a huge fan of
it, one hundred percent. I mean
963
01:08:39.720 --> 01:08:42.640
that's just a Laite. Yeah,
I mean it like you're saying, like
964
01:08:42.760 --> 01:08:45.560
the MLB All Star game and the
pro bowl doesn't even come close to all
965
01:08:45.560 --> 01:08:49.720
star Weeka all star Wend is the
gold standard and the pro bowl is tried
966
01:08:50.359 --> 01:08:54.720
because they've seen the success of the
NBA. They're trying out new stuff to
967
01:08:54.880 --> 01:08:59.399
it. It's not really working.
Yeah, the one thing I would like
968
01:08:59.680 --> 01:09:02.199
change. I know they it was
in Cleveland everything, but they should have
969
01:09:02.199 --> 01:09:05.199
brought ano little bit more stars,
because there's usually like a lot of people
970
01:09:05.239 --> 01:09:10.960
sit in coorse side and I didn't
see no big big names other than spike
971
01:09:11.079 --> 01:09:15.439
the maybe us. Well, to
be fair, a lot most of like
972
01:09:15.560 --> 01:09:19.560
this seventy five team also had like
court side seats or are no damn near
973
01:09:19.640 --> 01:09:23.319
to. So a lot of those
seats went to those guys, and that's
974
01:09:23.399 --> 01:09:27.920
right. You know their families and
stuff. So there was a decent amount.
975
01:09:27.920 --> 01:09:30.960
I mean we give a good hustle. Words Michigun Kelly. What was
976
01:09:30.039 --> 01:09:32.840
machine Cun Kelly doing at the start
of the All Star game? He came
977
01:09:32.920 --> 01:09:38.600
out on maybe what's up? Cleveland
makes a noise and he was just gone
978
01:09:38.800 --> 01:09:42.319
like I think he's. He's any
from Cleveland. Yeah, still, what
979
01:09:42.359 --> 01:09:45.239
are you doing here? You came
here to say like three lines, make
980
01:09:45.359 --> 01:09:48.039
some northern you get court side seats
to that. I'll do that. Come
981
01:09:48.119 --> 01:09:53.239
on, that's all you got to
do to get court side seats. Let
982
01:09:53.319 --> 01:09:59.399
me do it. Yeah, seriously, that's fair. Yeah, I mean,
983
01:10:00.239 --> 01:10:04.880
yeah, huge W I'll star weekend, with one small part excepted from
984
01:10:04.960 --> 01:10:14.359
them. All right, huge wall
star weekend. Speaking of W's, let's
985
01:10:14.399 --> 01:10:17.880
talk about the Celtics Real quick,
shall We, before a minor setback against
986
01:10:17.920 --> 01:10:25.319
the Detroit Pistons. Celtics nine in
a row. Cove coming into the break,
987
01:10:25.479 --> 01:10:28.640
is one of the hottest teams in
basketball, and that's why I can't
988
01:10:28.680 --> 01:10:31.840
get this smile off of my face. It's so j what's been feeling the
989
01:10:31.880 --> 01:10:36.000
Celtic success? Why are they back
from the dead? So combination of a
990
01:10:36.079 --> 01:10:41.840
few things. Um, since I
think mid Jay were they've had like the
991
01:10:41.960 --> 01:10:45.039
highest defensive rating outside of the Dallas
Mavericks, which have been to of the
992
01:10:45.079 --> 01:10:50.039
best defensive teams in two thousand and
twenty two. Also, like Jason Tatum
993
01:10:50.079 --> 01:10:56.119
and Jalen Brown, are not as
aggressive for shots as they usually are.
994
01:10:56.159 --> 01:10:58.840
They they're moving the ball, except
and double teams. They're playing as a
995
01:10:58.920 --> 01:11:02.479
team and the trade of Derek White, getting him as a guy can switch
996
01:11:02.520 --> 01:11:05.760
out on defense, really helped them
a lot and I feel like it may
997
01:11:05.800 --> 01:11:11.880
you donkers finally getting the guys to
listening buying his system. So that's been
998
01:11:11.920 --> 01:11:15.079
really working for them. Another thing
is, though, like they've had a
999
01:11:15.279 --> 01:11:18.039
very easy schedule. Amos was wearing
streaked and you got to beat who's in
1000
01:11:18.119 --> 01:11:21.319
front of you. Obviously like not
say, you know, that doesn't matter,
1001
01:11:21.720 --> 01:11:26.119
but they play like some pretty weak
teams in the midst O it.
1002
01:11:26.199 --> 01:11:28.960
But you got to understand they taking
care of business, so that's all that
1003
01:11:29.079 --> 01:11:32.199
matters. But they are playing better
basketball and building better habits, but they've
1004
01:11:32.239 --> 01:11:35.680
also had like a very easy schedule
up until this point where they've been build
1005
01:11:35.720 --> 01:11:41.199
a momentum. That's exactly what my
point was going to be. They're beating
1006
01:11:41.279 --> 01:11:44.520
whoever's in front of them. I
don't get me wrong, and I think
1007
01:11:44.920 --> 01:11:48.000
the fact that I feel I haven't
watched all the games. I watched a
1008
01:11:48.079 --> 01:11:53.079
couple during their streak and I feel
like Jason Tatum is taking more of a
1009
01:11:53.199 --> 01:11:57.279
leadership roll and I think Dan brought
his kind of deferring to that. I
1010
01:11:57.399 --> 01:12:00.880
think that's helping. However, this
because Chile, like was super easy.
1011
01:12:01.439 --> 01:12:03.920
They they're beating whereverers in front and
they beat the heat. They'd beat the
1012
01:12:04.000 --> 01:12:09.640
Sixers, but we talking about winning
against the Pistons, the magic, the
1013
01:12:09.840 --> 01:12:13.079
nets when they were losing their ten
games in a row, the Pelicans,
1014
01:12:13.159 --> 01:12:16.479
is, the Kings, the wizards
like this, though, these are not
1015
01:12:16.680 --> 01:12:20.199
teams that are competing for anything.
They're not. They're barely in the playing
1016
01:12:20.239 --> 01:12:26.920
games for some of them. so
that also helped spark their little run that
1017
01:12:27.000 --> 01:12:29.960
they had. It'll be interesting to
see if they can keep it up,
1018
01:12:30.039 --> 01:12:33.000
because now they they got to be
playing the grizzlies, the net's going to
1019
01:12:33.079 --> 01:12:36.600
have somebody bag. They're gonna play
the mavs, the warriors, the Jazz,
1020
01:12:36.960 --> 01:12:42.000
but they've been on the run.
They're definitely, if not the hottest,
1021
01:12:42.039 --> 01:12:45.520
one of the hottest teams in the
league, and rightfully so. They
1022
01:12:45.560 --> 01:12:48.079
playing out of their minds and Bovada
is recognizing that. There they have the
1023
01:12:48.359 --> 01:12:53.000
ninth best odds to win in the
championship right now, and that's saying a
1024
01:12:53.039 --> 01:12:57.119
lot. The by looking at the
way they started the season, because it
1025
01:12:57.399 --> 01:13:00.000
was. It was pretty bad.
They were ten to eleven place in the
1026
01:13:00.119 --> 01:13:03.560
east and now there are four games
back from the top. So it'll be
1027
01:13:03.680 --> 01:13:09.680
interesting to see how they met up
against the better teams and how they finished
1028
01:13:09.720 --> 01:13:14.159
up the regular season, because they
got some they got some tough teams coming
1029
01:13:14.239 --> 01:13:17.600
up. Also, I didn't realize
how little games are left. I feel
1030
01:13:17.640 --> 01:13:21.640
like there's like twenty games that there's
two, possibly for five. HMM.
1031
01:13:23.279 --> 01:13:28.039
Yeah, not a lot of basketball
to people for the playoffs. So yeah,
1032
01:13:28.119 --> 01:13:30.119
I completely agree with you guys.
To me this feels like a team
1033
01:13:30.199 --> 01:13:33.640
that has finally bought it. I
don't know why it took as long as
1034
01:13:33.680 --> 01:13:38.520
it did, but this is a
team that is finally bought into their head
1035
01:13:38.560 --> 01:13:42.359
coach and is willing to defer to
each other in order to win games.
1036
01:13:43.279 --> 01:13:46.319
And I like me to said,
I love the moves that they made,
1037
01:13:46.640 --> 01:13:53.199
getting rid of players who either weren't
helping the team attitude, like Dennis Schroeder,
1038
01:13:54.640 --> 01:13:57.760
and then bring also bringing in guys
who helped them play the type of
1039
01:13:57.800 --> 01:14:01.399
basketball that they want to play,
guys like Derek White and Daniel ties,
1040
01:14:02.119 --> 01:14:06.840
guys who are on selfish and move
the ball, and so I think their
1041
01:14:06.880 --> 01:14:11.239
prey. I think give on me
Doka a lot of credit. He's pressing
1042
01:14:11.279 --> 01:14:14.640
the right buttons. He's gotten the
team to buy in. You're seeing the
1043
01:14:14.720 --> 01:14:17.479
results, and also you got to
give a huge amount of credit to Jason
1044
01:14:17.520 --> 01:14:23.600
Tatum and Jalen Brown for working out
the issue themselves. We had an issue,
1045
01:14:23.880 --> 01:14:28.199
offensive stagnant. Because of US they're
moving the ball. Jalen Brown is
1046
01:14:28.279 --> 01:14:31.560
deferring to Jason Tatum and letting him
be the star and you're seeing the results
1047
01:14:31.600 --> 01:14:35.800
of that. So then, with
that being said, is this is their
1048
01:14:35.880 --> 01:14:42.760
success shortlived and the result of an
easy schedule, or do you expect the
1049
01:14:42.880 --> 01:14:45.840
Celtics to be able to compete for
the rest of the season in the playoffs?
1050
01:14:45.880 --> 01:14:50.720
Would you think, beyond giving that
their success as cut came does the
1051
01:14:50.880 --> 01:14:58.560
past couple weeks before the ALLSAR game, and the bad parts was we're way
1052
01:14:58.680 --> 01:15:02.880
longer than what there's a cesses.
I don't. I don't see them keeping
1053
01:15:02.960 --> 01:15:06.199
the street going. I think they're
going to be in the playing games at
1054
01:15:06.239 --> 01:15:10.520
the end of the day and it's
all about matchups. We'll see who they
1055
01:15:10.560 --> 01:15:13.159
get in the first round of the
playoffs. If they make it through the
1056
01:15:13.239 --> 01:15:16.960
playing games, you Jay expect them
to keep it going. If they keep
1057
01:15:17.039 --> 01:15:20.920
building these habits they have over the
past month or two months or so,
1058
01:15:21.079 --> 01:15:24.800
like moving the ball, playing defense, I think they could keep it up.
1059
01:15:25.119 --> 01:15:29.159
But it's also hard to gage when
they haven't been playing quality competition.
1060
01:15:29.520 --> 01:15:32.359
So this next stretch of games at
which D I mentioned earlier, when they
1061
01:15:32.399 --> 01:15:35.560
play quality team at buff five hundred, if they continue to play the same
1062
01:15:35.680 --> 01:15:39.920
kind of basketball, I think they
can. Well, I think it all
1063
01:15:39.960 --> 01:15:44.520
depends on like if they will continue
to buy in and continue to build like
1064
01:15:44.840 --> 01:15:47.039
the things that they've been doing the
past couple months. So I think it
1065
01:15:47.199 --> 01:15:50.560
good swing either way, because that's
just the kind of team Boston is.
1066
01:15:51.079 --> 01:15:56.239
Could be anybody to lose to air
anybody as well. Exactly they really they're
1067
01:15:56.279 --> 01:16:00.560
really inconsistent and we want to have
to see how for how long did lean
1068
01:16:00.640 --> 01:16:03.079
Brown can defer, because he hasn't
done it before this past stretch of games
1069
01:16:03.840 --> 01:16:08.800
and the one game where he took
control they lost and that was against the
1070
01:16:08.840 --> 01:16:14.279
business. So we don't have to
see how much she can keep being the
1071
01:16:15.000 --> 01:16:17.920
you know, the said the second
option on the team, because we kind
1072
01:16:17.960 --> 01:16:21.039
of saw during the beginning of the
season that they weren't that. We were.
1073
01:16:21.119 --> 01:16:26.600
We we ask the question whether they
could coexist or not. This past
1074
01:16:26.680 --> 01:16:31.119
couple of games showed that they can. But Will Javon Brown want to for
1075
01:16:32.520 --> 01:16:35.560
that much longer? You know,
with is we don't have to see.
1076
01:16:36.439 --> 01:16:40.520
I mean that's a fair question.
I think that's more of a long term
1077
01:16:40.640 --> 01:16:43.760
concern than a short yeah, for
sure, but for sure, my own
1078
01:16:43.800 --> 01:16:47.800
bias admitted, I do expect them
to continue to compete and to compete in
1079
01:16:47.880 --> 01:16:51.319
the playoffs. I don't know about
a deep run, but I expect them
1080
01:16:51.359 --> 01:16:56.119
to be competitive in the playoffs a
because they've been playing a lot better.
1081
01:16:56.760 --> 01:17:00.720
But be the top of the East
feels a lot more vulnerable than it did
1082
01:17:00.840 --> 01:17:03.560
about twenty games ago. Then that's
have been an absolute mess and shipped off
1083
01:17:03.640 --> 01:17:09.720
James Harden with the sixers. We
don't know how well hardened and em beat
1084
01:17:09.760 --> 01:17:12.479
are going to coexist. It could
be really good, you know, it
1085
01:17:12.520 --> 01:17:16.199
could be a mess. The bowls, if Demarta rose and isn't dropping forty,
1086
01:17:16.760 --> 01:17:20.600
have been really inconsistent. The heat
have been really good, but they've
1087
01:17:20.600 --> 01:17:25.239
struggled with health and so because of
all of that, I think the Celtics
1088
01:17:25.279 --> 01:17:30.319
could put themselves into that mix and
what felt like a really top heavy eastern
1089
01:17:30.439 --> 01:17:34.039
conference and about January and the month
of February is flipped and it feels a
1090
01:17:34.119 --> 01:17:39.039
lot more balanced from top to bottom
and it feels like just about any team
1091
01:17:39.119 --> 01:17:42.520
in the east could make a run. And the Celtics are peeking at the
1092
01:17:42.640 --> 01:17:45.680
right time and they definitely have the
talent to be competing. They should have
1093
01:17:45.720 --> 01:17:49.880
been competing this whole time, and
people forget that. They also have the
1094
01:17:50.000 --> 01:17:56.159
experience. They've been on deep playoff
runs before, so they should know what
1095
01:17:56.319 --> 01:18:00.720
good basketball looks like and how to
actually compete in the playoffs. That's that's
1096
01:18:00.800 --> 01:18:02.720
that's true. That's true. There
there's also one other cause of concern,
1097
01:18:02.800 --> 01:18:06.000
though, for the Celtics that I
just realize is that they don't have a
1098
01:18:06.119 --> 01:18:10.520
men's now, because they gave away
like twenty players. Yeah, like they
1099
01:18:10.800 --> 01:18:14.119
can. They sustained this for the
whole season, playing eight players every night,
1100
01:18:14.359 --> 01:18:17.520
because they only played eight players the
last five games. So it's got
1101
01:18:17.760 --> 01:18:19.520
is going to be. It's going
to be rough if they gonna have to
1102
01:18:19.560 --> 01:18:23.319
do this every night, because I
don't know how much you can ride those
1103
01:18:23.359 --> 01:18:27.720
two starters and then write them into
playoffs too. And I don't really sustainable.
1104
01:18:28.399 --> 01:18:31.039
That's a really good point. Beyond
I mean, Brad Steven Shit everybody
1105
01:18:31.119 --> 01:18:34.920
off at the deadline, and I
don't read every fucking body, I mean
1106
01:18:35.039 --> 01:18:38.399
it. Don't get me wrong,
I don't miss a single player. He
1107
01:18:38.479 --> 01:18:42.359
shift it off. I mean,
I don't blame I don't miss a single
1108
01:18:42.439 --> 01:18:45.159
one of them, especially you in
this freedom. I don't miss you for
1109
01:18:45.279 --> 01:18:51.560
one second. Let's I mean that
Brad Stevens is rolling the dice. Yeah,
1110
01:18:51.720 --> 01:18:56.319
if the Celtics stay healthy, they
have all of the right guys now.
1111
01:18:56.600 --> 01:18:59.479
They have the right guys in the
locker room, they have all the
1112
01:18:59.600 --> 01:19:02.840
right guys on the floor. The
rotations are solid. But Dan brings up
1113
01:19:02.840 --> 01:19:05.720
a good point of if there's injuries, the wheels are going to come off
1114
01:19:05.920 --> 01:19:11.920
because the team does not have depth
right now. HMM, so we are
1115
01:19:12.039 --> 01:19:16.680
rolling the dice, but I don't
think the depth was actually hurting us in
1116
01:19:16.760 --> 01:19:21.199
a lot of ways before the deadline. And I mean we can point fingers
1117
01:19:21.239 --> 01:19:25.960
of WHO's bringing these guys in to
begin with and handing out these contracts that,
1118
01:19:26.199 --> 01:19:28.920
you know, we had needed to
spend draft picks to get rid of,
1119
01:19:30.079 --> 01:19:33.119
but I'm just happy that all of
the right people are in place now.
1120
01:19:33.520 --> 01:19:39.920
I once went to this like leadership
lecture thing where and they gave this
1121
01:19:40.000 --> 01:19:43.560
piece of advice that stuck with me
at the first step to having a successful
1122
01:19:43.640 --> 01:19:47.560
organization is to get all the right
people on the bus. Second step is
1123
01:19:47.560 --> 01:19:51.399
to get all the wrong people off
the bus, and so right now it
1124
01:19:51.439 --> 01:19:55.119
feels like the Celtics have done that. They have the right people on the
1125
01:19:55.159 --> 01:19:59.159
bus, but that's not as many
people as I would have liked. So
1126
01:20:00.000 --> 01:20:01.880
I'm with you on that. Yeah, yeah, that makes sense, because
1127
01:20:01.920 --> 01:20:08.399
I right now your eighth and ninth
or your nine and ten are Sam Houser
1128
01:20:08.439 --> 01:20:13.239
in Luke Carnet. That's bad.
So they're going to hat. They going
1129
01:20:13.279 --> 01:20:17.800
to have to give something in the
Bayou market somebody. They lost the ship
1130
01:20:17.960 --> 01:20:21.079
on Gordon druggets. That could have
been a decent back up. I know
1131
01:20:21.159 --> 01:20:24.159
you hate them. I know you
hate them, I hate them. I
1132
01:20:24.199 --> 01:20:26.760
don't want to go on druggach.
I know you hate them, but it
1133
01:20:26.800 --> 01:20:29.720
would help. Or just go for
the nets got. I feel like Gary
1134
01:20:29.720 --> 01:20:33.119
Harris could be very valuable for you
guys. Yeah, no question, because
1135
01:20:33.119 --> 01:20:36.119
I know you know you got traded. So yeah, I mean we're going
1136
01:20:36.159 --> 01:20:41.840
to have to bring some people in, but there's worse things. I've seen
1137
01:20:41.880 --> 01:20:45.039
it this season. So there,
DJ and they for final thoughts on the
1138
01:20:45.079 --> 01:20:48.800
Celtics. Oh No, no,
you guys cover it. I just I
1139
01:20:48.920 --> 01:20:54.119
think they still have some room for
improving. But I just feel like little
1140
01:20:54.199 --> 01:20:59.239
Milwaukee, Philly, Brooklyn, a
healthy Chicago, Miami are all at the
1141
01:20:59.439 --> 01:21:02.520
top and if you throw Boston there, it could is really anybody's conference out
1142
01:21:02.560 --> 01:21:05.399
pill like right now, just because
you don't know. So any movement pieces.
1143
01:21:06.920 --> 01:21:10.600
So yeah, it remains me seeing
what they can do, though,
1144
01:21:10.680 --> 01:21:13.920
but, like Da said, if
they add some depth, we could be
1145
01:21:14.000 --> 01:21:16.640
talking about Boston back in the conference
finals and making a real push. Oh
1146
01:21:16.760 --> 01:21:20.319
yeah, they have all the pieces. Yeah, yeah, I'm glad they're
1147
01:21:20.359 --> 01:21:25.000
finally putting it together. It's only
been a season and a half. All
1148
01:21:25.079 --> 01:21:29.279
right, let's focus on the positive. They are playing really well right now.
1149
01:21:29.760 --> 01:21:31.760
Yeah, so, all right,
let's get to our five games of
1150
01:21:31.800 --> 01:21:36.159
the week. Let's go. I
went for in one last week. Shout
1151
01:21:36.199 --> 01:21:41.640
out to Vada for helping me out
to get me back on track. But
1152
01:21:41.760 --> 01:21:45.800
the five games to the week.
So I am now thirty six and twenty
1153
01:21:45.880 --> 01:21:47.760
three. All right, it's a
deal. What are you? I am
1154
01:21:48.319 --> 01:21:57.079
thirty eight and twenty two. Right
there, you Jan thirty nine and twenty
1155
01:21:57.159 --> 01:22:00.640
one. We're all there. Were
all there, there, we're all right,
1156
01:22:00.720 --> 01:22:04.560
there, all right, better records
in the Lakers. All right,
1157
01:22:06.159 --> 01:22:10.840
number one. Unfortunately, we have
to wave like bad. The only downside
1158
01:22:10.880 --> 01:22:13.800
of the All star breaks we have
to wait UN till Thursday for games.
1159
01:22:14.239 --> 01:22:16.880
Yeah, that's kind of a car
but what's the probablem Escobar me, you's
1160
01:22:16.920 --> 01:22:23.000
just like sitting there, just waiting. Yep, in, nope, yeah,
1161
01:22:23.119 --> 01:22:25.920
yeah, you know, nothing.
No, nothing. I mean I
1162
01:22:26.000 --> 01:22:30.119
might just tuned in to thespn just
to see what they are, the so
1163
01:22:30.239 --> 01:22:32.119
called these games. Yeah, and
the Olympics, and right at the All
1164
01:22:32.159 --> 01:22:36.000
star break too. So what's good
with that? No Olympics either. Bummer.
1165
01:22:38.159 --> 01:22:43.439
We got nothing until Thursday. But
game number one on Thursday. Celtics
1166
01:22:43.600 --> 01:22:47.319
at the nets. Beyond Body like
you know who I like? You know,
1167
01:22:47.520 --> 01:22:51.800
I like TC. I'M gonna go
wait their Celtics at the nets.
1168
01:22:53.399 --> 01:22:58.560
Yeah, so some mendas maybe in
play. I'll still go with the nets
1169
01:22:59.399 --> 01:23:01.560
I have. I I think Ben
Simmons is actually going to play. So
1170
01:23:01.720 --> 01:23:06.399
hope, hopefully, we'll see some
shot. We'll see some no shaddy plays
1171
01:23:06.439 --> 01:23:11.680
on Thursday. I don't even have
to like make a dramatic anymore. The
1172
01:23:11.720 --> 01:23:15.079
Celtics are not a horrible pick and
so I don't have to dramatically pick them
1173
01:23:15.159 --> 01:23:18.319
against all odds. So I'm just
taking the Celtics. I don't think Katie's
1174
01:23:18.319 --> 01:23:21.439
going to be back. No,
and so no, O Katie, no
1175
01:23:21.640 --> 01:23:27.800
Kyrie. I doubt Ben Simmons will
be back. So I like the Celtics
1176
01:23:27.880 --> 01:23:32.479
as a result. Dja, I'm
a road is sound sets to just because
1177
01:23:32.479 --> 01:23:36.399
it's at Brooklyn and I think they
beat them by like thirty five two weeks
1178
01:23:36.439 --> 01:23:41.039
ago and this just happened. So
I think it might be the same same
1179
01:23:41.159 --> 01:23:44.000
movie, same result, I can
hope. Right. All Right, game
1180
01:23:44.079 --> 01:23:48.640
number two, hawks at the Bulls. I like the bolls tomorrow. To
1181
01:23:48.800 --> 01:23:53.960
Rosin is playing like a bull.
He's a fire right now, just running
1182
01:23:54.000 --> 01:23:57.600
people over right now. He cannot
miss. So I mean it's hard to
1183
01:23:57.600 --> 01:24:00.840
pick against the Bulls. So I'm
taking a bull. You Do? Yeah,
1184
01:24:00.960 --> 01:24:04.880
I'm rolling with the Bulls to all
of our me and de Mars on
1185
01:24:05.079 --> 01:24:08.720
fire and Levine is healthy. I
think like there was a little bit of
1186
01:24:08.720 --> 01:24:12.119
any scare but I think he's actually
good to go. So rolling with the
1187
01:24:12.159 --> 01:24:15.680
Bulls. Yeah, I'm taking the
Bulls to the mare. You guys said
1188
01:24:15.720 --> 01:24:18.560
it. LEVINA is back. He
played at the Allstar game, so I
1189
01:24:18.680 --> 01:24:23.199
don't see why you wouldn't play this
game. And the Hawks are without John
1190
01:24:23.239 --> 01:24:29.039
Collins. So definitely bulls is as
Lonso back yet? No, no,
1191
01:24:29.920 --> 01:24:32.840
probably like another month and Caruso,
both of them. So all right.
1192
01:24:33.359 --> 01:24:43.760
Number three, mavericks at the Jazz
Job. Let's go thanking about I didn't
1193
01:24:43.800 --> 01:24:49.920
ask you. I don't care.
Davity, like I'm a roll with the
1194
01:24:50.039 --> 01:24:55.079
Mavericks because I don't know if donal
and Mitchell will play, and I'm questioning
1195
01:24:55.159 --> 01:24:58.680
that. He lay missed Allstar giving
a respiratory of this. So I'm going
1196
01:24:58.720 --> 01:25:02.079
with the maths. Interesting. I'm
going to take the jazz because there are
1197
01:25:02.159 --> 01:25:06.800
far superior team to the Mavericks and
as Far Superior Organization. What there one
1198
01:25:06.920 --> 01:25:11.359
game away from each other. What
are you talking about? Have you seen
1199
01:25:11.399 --> 01:25:14.880
how luke has been playing? Calm
down, it's a joke. Chill,
1200
01:25:15.680 --> 01:25:18.520
Hey, hey, it's your body. You you get dependsive with your cell
1201
01:25:18.600 --> 01:25:28.279
things. I evericks. Okay,
number four, six stars at the Timber
1202
01:25:28.359 --> 01:25:33.239
Wolves the honor. They like.
This one is gonna this cluelest to me
1203
01:25:33.640 --> 01:25:36.439
I was a hard game. It's
a hard game. I don't know what
1204
01:25:36.560 --> 01:25:42.520
Bravada has them at, but I'm
taking the sixers because I'm hoping that James
1205
01:25:42.560 --> 01:25:45.520
Harden was going to play. I
think there might be some growing pains the
1206
01:25:45.720 --> 01:25:49.159
Champs Harden on the floor and I
just really like the timber wolves. I'm
1207
01:25:49.159 --> 01:25:53.800
picking the t wolves here. Yeah, I'm a road to sixers just because
1208
01:25:53.840 --> 01:25:57.319
when I saw him do to my
bucks last week. So yeah, I
1209
01:25:57.439 --> 01:26:00.000
think Joel and beat is on a
mission right now and Conthley towns is the
1210
01:26:00.079 --> 01:26:04.920
next stop. So rolling with the
sixers at me definitely gets up for cat.
1211
01:26:05.199 --> 01:26:11.159
So Hmm. All right again,
number five nets at the aforementioned bucks
1212
01:26:11.319 --> 01:26:15.520
on Saturday. That's Saturday. That's
sad. I got sorry, we pop
1213
01:26:16.039 --> 01:26:20.079
now some more Thurtday. There's the
Grizzlies Bulls game to on Saturdays is oh
1214
01:26:20.239 --> 01:26:26.520
my goodness, we should use that
game. HMM. Don't you dare question
1215
01:26:26.640 --> 01:26:29.560
the five games of the week again. You're right, these Jady like,
1216
01:26:30.239 --> 01:26:32.399
Oh, give me a bucks,
give me, give me two bucks here.
1217
01:26:33.399 --> 01:26:38.079
I think they'll get rolling and I
feel bad for the nets because I
1218
01:26:38.199 --> 01:26:40.960
just think the nets are going to
have some trouble the next couple weeks without
1219
01:26:41.039 --> 01:26:44.520
Katie. Yeah, I'm taking the
bucks. Yanis is probably going to drop
1220
01:26:44.680 --> 01:26:48.399
fifty, so I'm taking the bucks. Yeah, I like the bucks by
1221
01:26:48.399 --> 01:26:54.479
a million. HMM. All right, let's go out of bounds really quick
1222
01:26:55.560 --> 01:27:00.800
cover our non basketball related topic,
and the reason I pick this topic is
1223
01:27:00.840 --> 01:27:04.720
I saw that my childhood was canceled
this past week. You guys ever watch
1224
01:27:04.920 --> 01:27:09.960
Arthur here? Then they come to
the twenty five or twenty three diversary or
1225
01:27:10.000 --> 01:27:15.159
something like. Yeah, their elisius. So they're still playing the the reruns,
1226
01:27:15.279 --> 01:27:18.279
but there's no new episodes of Arthur. After like twenty five years.
1227
01:27:19.520 --> 01:27:24.960
Arthur has like a gotee and a
beard now, like we so a great
1228
01:27:25.000 --> 01:27:29.560
drums like that. Arthur was my
childhood. So well, let's talk about
1229
01:27:29.560 --> 01:27:34.319
our favorite shows when we were kids. And this is another one of those
1230
01:27:34.399 --> 01:27:39.520
questions, just like the serial one. I feel like your favorite shows when
1231
01:27:39.520 --> 01:27:41.920
you were a child tells me everything
I need to know about you as a
1232
01:27:42.000 --> 01:27:45.960
person. So, Ej who with
the lit? Let me, let with
1233
01:27:45.159 --> 01:27:47.479
the light. Hold on, let
me set the scene here. Yeah,
1234
01:27:47.520 --> 01:27:50.319
I'll see. Yeah, what's the
limit? That's the real question. I
1235
01:27:50.439 --> 01:27:55.239
mean, I don't know ten,
but let me set the scene here,
1236
01:27:56.119 --> 01:28:00.720
Bj you're ten years old. Life
is good again. Okay, it's Saturday
1237
01:28:00.760 --> 01:28:04.720
morning. You sleep until thirty because
you can. Probably you got your PJ's
1238
01:28:04.840 --> 01:28:11.479
on. You run downstairs, you
pour yourself a bowl of cereal, which
1239
01:28:11.560 --> 01:28:15.079
I now know is cinnamon tolls crunch, which I totally respect. Where you
1240
01:28:15.159 --> 01:28:19.520
turn on the TV. What are
you watching? Okay, so, for
1241
01:28:19.680 --> 01:28:26.640
talking cartoons and all that, I'm
growing with the XMAN show. They used
1242
01:28:26.680 --> 01:28:30.039

1248
01:29:02.680 --> 01:29:06.159
but I'm gonna keep it there for
now. Those are like my top
1249
01:29:06.319 --> 01:29:12.800
top when I was growing up.
I love that Deon. So I watched
1250
01:29:12.800 --> 01:29:15.560
a lot of TV going up in
Italy and there and all, but I
1251
01:29:15.720 --> 01:29:20.760
watched all the American shows because I
had like themerican channels and I had Disney
1252
01:29:20.840 --> 01:29:26.960
channel, I had Nickelodeon, id
cartoon network at all of that, and
1253
01:29:27.479 --> 01:29:30.520
so about this is really long,
but I'm just going to keep it short.
1254
01:29:30.640 --> 01:29:34.960
We got cat dog, we got, Oh, yes, any phantom,
1255
01:29:35.680 --> 01:29:41.640

1258
01:29:48.680 --> 01:29:53.159
Disney channel. Oh, it's all
of it, all of it. I
1259
01:29:53.520 --> 01:29:58.359
used dropping Russo that's that's one of
my favorite ones. Was Rocket Power.
1260
01:29:58.920 --> 01:30:02.600
Dude, Hey, aren't you guys

even pick a fig, you know.
1262
01:30:06.840 --> 01:30:11.199
But if I had to, I
think I had to go with spongebob as
1263
01:30:11.239 --> 01:30:13.800
my dute. I mean this kind
of the struggle bus at the call home.
1264
01:30:13.880 --> 01:30:17.079
We didn't have cable, so I
didn't have Nickelodeon, cartoon network or
1265
01:30:17.279 --> 01:30:21.600
Disney Channel. So there's a lot
of PBS for me. You guys ever

Arthur. Then we go to my grandma's
1271
01:30:43.800 --> 01:30:47.840

So I loved the animated Batman and Superman
1272
01:30:47.960 --> 01:30:55.680
shows. Batman. Yeah, yeah, Batman beyond. Yeah, for sure.

Hell, now we got to talk

00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:28.599
from what I understand. So hoopers
of the week, good hustle awards,
29
00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:32.240
Dan, take it away with your
hooper the week. All right, my
30
00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:36.479
hooper the week. I don't know
if you guys know him. He's been
31
00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:44.159
pretty famous song social media and one
not, and his name is Emmanuel Hansel,
32
00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:49.639
the one arm hooper. I can't
believe it, it actually happened.
33
00:02:49.879 --> 00:02:54.319
I was the number one skeptic of
him, but he actually got a d
34
00:02:54.560 --> 00:03:00.159
one offer from a major college,
which is the Memphis Tigers. See if
35
00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:04.039
he doesn't take that, I don't
know what is wrong with him, but
36
00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:07.400
I will take it into heart beat. If I was him. You know
37
00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:12.639
how hard it is to make it
to college basketball and to do it without
38
00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:17.080
one arm. That's that's so impressive
that he has to be recognized for that
39
00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:23.919
and he's my hooper of the week. Caller. HMM, there's actually multiple
40
00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:27.560
one arm hoopers out there. You
might have to be I didn't know about
41
00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:31.719
this one, but I've seen another
one on. He was always on ball
42
00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:37.479
this life. White Guy went to
Florida. I don't know his name,
43
00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:43.400
but yeah, I mean to get
a DNE scholarship to a program like Memphis,
44
00:03:43.639 --> 00:03:46.400
that's tough. I mean in general
means you are really good, but
45
00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:51.159
I mean the only types of disadvantage. I mean that just needs you gre
46
00:03:51.199 --> 00:03:53.800
all the more skilled. So hats
off to you. Yep, you Jay,
47
00:03:54.080 --> 00:03:59.520
who's hooper? All right, I
got a three piece wing dinner for
48
00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:05.360
my good hooper from deep down town, talking curry range, but that's probably
49
00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:13.000
not enough. I'm any towns when
the three point contest. He had the
50
00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:16.199
lowest odds actually to win it because
he was the only big man in it.
51
00:04:16.480 --> 00:04:20.040
But uh, not just because he
wanted but the NBA actually allowed him
52
00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:25.040
to wear a necklace with his mother's
name on it, and they usually do
53
00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:28.639
have a very strict dress code.
But his moment pastor out of leave almost
54
00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:31.319
two years ago now from covid so
it was really good to see and not
55
00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:35.160
only smiling and winning, but the
NBA kind of allow him to have that
56
00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:39.120
piece of her out there with him. So I got to give it the
57
00:04:39.240 --> 00:04:43.600
cat and I think I'm in twenty
nine on the last round. The kind
58
00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:46.439
of win at Luke Canar was like, can he be drug tested? Like
59
00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:48.800
a center should not be high squash. And Yeah, they damn near had
60
00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:53.360
to replace the nets after he went. Goddamn, he was away. I
61
00:04:53.800 --> 00:04:59.000
Jam Load Um Second. I mean
you got to give it to Steph Curry.
62
00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:01.800
How could you not? I thought
some of those shots was are all
63
00:05:01.839 --> 00:05:05.120
he's just kind of clank. It's
Mune the rebound. No, majority of
64
00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:09.600
he was sixteen for Twenty seven.
Downtown is an all star game, which
65
00:05:09.639 --> 00:05:12.480
I like. If it was a
real game and he just a lot.
66
00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:15.319
He was just allowed to shoot his
me threezy won't I think stuff could average
67
00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:18.000
forty, because it does. Is
How easy it looked for him. Like
68
00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:21.839
half court, no problem, hand
in the face, no problem. Until
69
00:05:21.879 --> 00:05:26.920
it was amazing break the scoring record. Yeah, a star. Any it
70
00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:30.399
was a problem there and he was
still sixteen hundred twenty seven like, which
71
00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:34.439
is well above fifty percent, and
taking that many threes from that far throw
72
00:05:34.519 --> 00:05:40.319
in there. He was on fire
before halftime. Yeah, time was two
73
00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:46.920
and a half hours long and there
back out, but has long came back
74
00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:51.120
to put on his Jersey. Kid. Yeah, every time was heat,
75
00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:55.439
but I was just sitting there like
man, this just keeps going. Yeah,
76
00:05:55.519 --> 00:05:58.560
yeah, my last pin also goes
to a guy. You may be
77
00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:02.000
familiar with them, you may love
them, you know, you may kind
78
00:06:02.040 --> 00:06:04.800
of love them, you may kind
of like them. I gotta give it
79
00:06:04.839 --> 00:06:12.439
to our guy TC TC. About
two months ago, me D I said
80
00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:15.079
TC, shut the hell of it's
not gonna happen. But my boy Brian
81
00:06:15.399 --> 00:06:19.519
would asked about possibly going back to
the cavaliers. Say Hey, dead door
82
00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:23.560
is not closing here. TC.
It two months goes. Oh, was
83
00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:26.920
conspiracy theory. I don't know what
can happen me and they are like no,
84
00:06:26.920 --> 00:06:30.199
no, just just stop it.
Don't even put that film out there.
85
00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:32.360
And, Lo and behold, my
man, Lebron, they actually go
86
00:06:32.399 --> 00:06:41.759
back. So I gotta give it
to was it Taylor coastradamis like and knows
87
00:06:41.800 --> 00:06:46.439
about to happen. So TC,
way to go. Yeah, I mean,
88
00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:49.560
Lebron is always thinking two steps ahead. You think he was oblivious to
89
00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:55.720
what the cavs have been doing?
No shot. I mean the the Lakers
90
00:06:55.720 --> 00:07:00.040
have just been such a mess this
year. If I'm Lebron doing what Lebron
91
00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:03.160
is doing, when Lebron is doing
it at his age, I'm not having
92
00:07:03.160 --> 00:07:08.759
any patients with that. A man
deserves better. Okay, I can't believe
93
00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:13.720
it actually happened, like like not
happening, but there's not. Now there's
94
00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:16.480
the buzz out there because lebrons mentioned
it outn't know where, I wasn't here.
95
00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:20.439
Whatever. You shut nobody was here. Exactly. Stop It. I'm
96
00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:25.040
like, okay, I made it. In fairness, I've thrown a lot
97
00:07:25.040 --> 00:07:28.639
of bullet takes out there and it's
been nice that one has finally come to
98
00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:32.120
fruition. This one stick. This
one's stuck like this one's by making yeah,
99
00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:34.600
yeah, I mean Lebron, you
know, in his quotes, is
100
00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:40.279
given specifics of when he can opt
out and everything, like he's locks through
101
00:07:40.519 --> 00:07:45.480
leaving. He's yeah, he's a
plan at if the Lakers don't do something
102
00:07:45.600 --> 00:07:49.439
drastic. Lebron has a plan,
believe me. Yeah, and I mean
103
00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:53.759
I wouldn't be afraid, like I
wouldn't be afraid to put any Ted on
104
00:07:53.839 --> 00:07:58.360
it if Bovada had like a little
line for that, because I would definitely
105
00:07:58.360 --> 00:08:01.519
do it. I would. He's
out of there. No, in my
106
00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:03.759
opinion, my eyes, well,
I see is Lebron in a difference.
107
00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:07.519
There's yeah, I think it's happening. Love to see that. My Hooper
108
00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:15.519
the week. I have a couple. I'll tell you what I cleveland in
109
00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:20.040
the past, and that times has
been synonymous kind of pre Lebron James,
110
00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:24.800
mostly with guys that were, you
know, not very athletic, and you
111
00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:28.639
know the sports teams, they are
all sucked. But Cleveland these days have
112
00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:33.639
some dudes that are just built different, and the first one is miles Garrett.
113
00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:39.240
Miles Garrett looked like shack in the
celebrity case. He looked like Dwight
114
00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:45.159
Howard Prime Dwight Howard in the dunk
contest. He's throwing down windills. He's
115
00:08:45.279 --> 00:08:50.600
dunking on machine gun Kelly. He's
I mean he's also like what six six,
116
00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:56.440
built, like an absolute tank,
like look like a man amongst boys.
117
00:08:56.639 --> 00:09:01.240
If these lerity game. I was
so happy watching him Duncan Machine Gun
118
00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:05.080
Kelly. I can't stand that guy. I mean miles Garrett is just an
119
00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:09.159
absolute unit, and don't piss him
off either, else he'll try to beat
120
00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:13.360
you to death with his own helmet, your own helmet. That's Mason Rudolph
121
00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:20.000
Man, when your your own yeah, the second Cleveland guys, I was
122
00:09:20.120 --> 00:09:24.279
just salivating, and I know it
was only a small snapshot, but there
123
00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:28.840
was a part in the skills challenge
where they were shooting from different spots on
124
00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:33.360
the floor and I had no idea
Evan mobili could stroke it like that.
125
00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:39.799
I mean I was literally the living
embodiment of the heart eyes of Bojie just
126
00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:46.759
watching him stroke it from through no
no rim, like, yeah, my
127
00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:52.120
holy this kid is the real deal. I mean I knew he was Tim
128
00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:54.720
Duncan, I didn't know he was
Tim Duncan who could shoot. I didn't
129
00:09:54.759 --> 00:09:58.679
know he had a stroke like that. I was unreal. But between him
130
00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:03.240
and Aaron Donald, I'm like,
I have a crush on Bobo right now.
131
00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:09.080
Between that's fun. I mean it
wasn't Valentine to say as. I
132
00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:11.279
mean, man, man crushes are
allowed, and I have a man crush
133
00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:18.159
on Evan mobili. Kid is the
future and gonna Bring Real and Lebron James.
134
00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:20.440
So I mean, yeah, how
do you not give it to Evan
135
00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:24.360
Mobile after that? That's her.
All right. Let's get negative, shall
136
00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:31.200
we? Yes, my kid hustle
a ward. If my good hooper went
137
00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:37.080
to easily the best part of the
celebrity game, Mike Hooper goes to eat
138
00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:43.440
with easily the worst part of the
celebrity game, and that goes out to
139
00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:48.519
Tiffany Hadsh tiftany I don't know what
the standard is for how they let people
140
00:10:48.639 --> 00:10:54.000
into the celebrity game, but should
some kind of basketball experience be a prerequisite?
141
00:10:54.639 --> 00:11:00.200
I mean TNT just trying to,
you know, throw their network stars
142
00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:03.519
out there whether they wanted or not. I mean tiffany had ish looked lost
143
00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:13.279
and she like twerking about the game. Yeah, here warming up the children
144
00:11:13.360 --> 00:11:16.960
out there. Ma'am. Okay,
I'll be honest. I'm not a huge
145
00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:20.600
fan of her work either. So
I mean, I'll take a pot shot
146
00:11:20.679 --> 00:11:24.519
at her any time I can.
And then she came out for the halftime
147
00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:30.399
show and she was part one of
the presenters for like this seventy five anniversary
148
00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:33.240
team, and she's like she's of
those all over world stuff. Yeah,
149
00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:37.679
now she was centers. WHO said
it? Oh, yeah, yeah,
150
00:11:37.879 --> 00:11:41.519
she looked like yeah, ever hers
either. Just sing over words. Come
151
00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:46.679
on, Tiffany, you're professional and
definitely not a professional basketball player. So,
152
00:11:46.879 --> 00:11:52.519
Tiffy, good, good hustle out
there. All right, bed WHO's
153
00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:58.840
hustling? Get them. It is
with deep sorrow and I give this good
154
00:11:58.960 --> 00:12:01.600
hustle to one of my favorite pros, like just all in general, but
155
00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:07.200
my man has turned into a menace, super grimmling, if you will,
156
00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:11.519
and the college ranks, and that
is none other than fat five member Joan.
157
00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:18.279
How To you know? I get
there's unwritten rules and basketball. If
158
00:12:18.320 --> 00:12:20.759
you're up fourteen, a couple seconds, if he ain't got a call,
159
00:12:20.919 --> 00:12:24.759
time out, and then we try
to explain to a guy why you did.
160
00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:26.799
He Ain't got to put your hands
on that. Get All. Let
161
00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:31.480
so this happens between Michigan Wisconsin.
You know the game is pretty much overs
162
00:12:31.480 --> 00:12:33.960
cost about the only Michigan's having a
tough year this year. And in the
163
00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:37.759
handshake line, you know, Joan
Howard's like touching up, put your hands
164
00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:39.960
on me, trying to explain to
the coach, like I don't like what
165
00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:45.720
you did. It comes to this
whole thing and then unassistant coach, he
166
00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:50.000
finds his face behind Joan howards.
Am I manage you, Wan how an,
167
00:12:50.039 --> 00:12:54.200
open palm, smack, Mush face. I don't know what it was.
168
00:12:54.320 --> 00:12:56.559
He connected. I'm talking to you
too, known as a pimp.
169
00:12:56.679 --> 00:13:01.399
Slap. Yeah, he slapped this
assistant coach like this dude o him money,
170
00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:07.799
like he did these. He looked
him in his optics stems and slapped
171
00:13:07.879 --> 00:13:13.480
him square in the face. I
get it. It's frustrate, but you
172
00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:20.360
can't be on TV just whish in
the middle seat everybody, because now your
173
00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:22.120
players saying, Oh, coach said, it's cool, I just got here
174
00:13:22.159 --> 00:13:26.279
through all two pieces and then you
got the badges and the wolverines. Kind
175
00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:30.200
of a mini bral if you want
to call it that, but it was
176
00:13:30.279 --> 00:13:33.159
not a good look. And I
loved Juan how our, but he has
177
00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:35.159
since M has been it. For
the rest of the regular season. But
178
00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:39.840
my man is to know in college
head coach fights. Mark Tursan has not
179
00:13:39.919 --> 00:13:45.799
been seen since messing the job,
and I'm pretty sure Greg Gard will not
180
00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:50.240
be coming across the handschick my anytime
soon. It Talk to Joan. I
181
00:13:50.360 --> 00:13:54.639
mean I love basketball and I love
drama, so I've done my research into
182
00:13:54.720 --> 00:14:00.000
this and the time out was I
mean it was kind of bad form.
183
00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:03.320
But at the same time Juan Howard
was the one sitting telling his team to
184
00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:09.480
press the Wisconsin backups when there's no
shot of winning. Like to me that
185
00:14:09.600 --> 00:14:13.879
also seems like that sportsmanship are I
didn't know that part. Yeah, like
186
00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:18.039
he's telling this guys to swarm,
you know, the bench warmers, to
187
00:14:18.159 --> 00:14:22.360
walk ons for Wisconsin, like I
come off bro like they're trying to they
188
00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:26.480
put in the backups that called off
the dogs, and it just seems like
189
00:14:26.639 --> 00:14:28.919
sour grapes to just say okay,
go press, like, I mean you
190
00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:31.639
can chock it up as well.
We weren't giving up, but I mean,
191
00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:35.600
come on, you weren't going to
win. Yeah, even close.
192
00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:39.679
That was a stupid they's it was
just frustration to that point and it seems
193
00:14:39.720 --> 00:14:45.159
like he gets frustrated easily because two
years in a row now, so somebody
194
00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:48.159
needs to like I thought, I
actually thought I was on be fired completely,
195
00:14:48.080 --> 00:14:54.000
but I mean he's still could.
I mean Michigan might sit on this
196
00:14:54.120 --> 00:14:58.799
for a second, but the thing
I've heard in defensive Juan Howard, he
197
00:14:58.879 --> 00:15:01.639
wasn't even getting getting and shake line. He wanted to just walk off,
198
00:15:01.759 --> 00:15:03.720
but he decided to get in handshake
line and also you probably should just walked
199
00:15:03.759 --> 00:15:09.080
off. Yeah, I mean Greg
Gard did put his hands on him,
200
00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:11.679
like he did like kind of like
pull them back, but like Juan said
201
00:15:11.759 --> 00:15:15.279
something to him and he's like wait
a minute, would you say? And
202
00:15:15.360 --> 00:15:20.320
then Juan flew off the handle.
But one of the things I've seen is
203
00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:24.360
somebody say it was Braylon Edwards.
Braylon Edwards has a podcast where he talks
204
00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:28.320
about all kinds of different sports and
what Brailon Edwards pointed out is the Wisconsin
205
00:15:30.120 --> 00:15:35.200
assistant coach looks like he pushes one
of the Michigan players. And if that's
206
00:15:35.320 --> 00:15:39.559
the case, I mean I kind
of get it. Like if I'm a
207
00:15:39.639 --> 00:15:41.399
coach and another coach puts his hands
on one of my players, like I
208
00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:45.639
probably slap them too. It was
in the back of me right. I
209
00:15:45.799 --> 00:15:50.919
saw it. Yeah, yeah,
yeah, so like some of his players
210
00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:52.919
get in front of him to like
kind of pulled juant back, like come
211
00:15:52.960 --> 00:15:58.600
on, coach, and it looks
like this assistant coach for Wisconsin like kind
212
00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:03.080
of pushed through some of the other
assistants for Wisconsin and like to go get
213
00:16:03.159 --> 00:16:06.200
in his face. And but,
I mean, anytime you fly off the
214
00:16:06.240 --> 00:16:10.039
handle like that, you're always the
bad guy. That's all anyone's going to
215
00:16:10.120 --> 00:16:14.039
remember. Absolutely and it makes you
such a hypocrite with your players to like,
216
00:16:14.080 --> 00:16:15.120
how are you going to get mad
at your players when they get a
217
00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:19.440
technical you know, if you manage
to get yourself suspended for at least five
218
00:16:19.559 --> 00:16:22.360
games? I mean it's just such
a bad look. Yeah, but,
219
00:16:23.480 --> 00:16:26.080
as a wise man once said,
there were there are layers to this,
220
00:16:26.519 --> 00:16:32.240
hmm. I mean, in regardless, you gotta get a good house,
221
00:16:32.320 --> 00:16:37.840
Lord, you just gotta. Yeah, Dean, take US home. Who
222
00:16:37.879 --> 00:16:41.559
Saus all right, much like you, I'm gonna go to the celebrity all
223
00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:48.639
star game and point out, put
us a spot light on another horrible performer,
224
00:16:49.279 --> 00:16:55.960
and that is mgk or for or
Akt in machine gunnally. Give us
225
00:16:56.840 --> 00:17:00.519
this like, like you said,
to see the what are the requirements to
226
00:17:00.559 --> 00:17:03.200
get into this game? Because,
like everybody else, seemed like they had
227
00:17:03.599 --> 00:17:07.759
some type, some form of basketball
knowledge, because this dude was missing layups,
228
00:17:08.039 --> 00:17:12.680
get dunked on, traveling everything.
He probably went one fur hundred and
229
00:17:12.720 --> 00:17:17.480
twenty on his shots. It was
ridiculous. There was like a bad it
230
00:17:17.640 --> 00:17:21.599
was like a two pitter that he
just clanked all the backboard and it was
231
00:17:21.680 --> 00:17:26.119
just ridiculous. Like Bro Stop,
just stop, just stick to just stick
232
00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:30.839
to your your craft and leave basketball
on loan, because you're clearly not a
233
00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:34.400
debt. How can you a good
conscience? Put Machine get and Kelly and
234
00:17:34.440 --> 00:17:40.480
Tiffany Hadsh out there with Miles Garrett. Miles Garrett is a monster. Exactly
235
00:17:41.319 --> 00:17:44.720
here what sport it is. He's
dangerous. How can you get conscience?
236
00:17:44.759 --> 00:17:48.160
Put those guys out there with him? You need to cut miles Garrett out
237
00:17:48.160 --> 00:17:52.000
of it where. You need to
do some kind of put some kind of
238
00:17:52.079 --> 00:17:55.279
floor on the celebrity game of like, okay, you had to at least
239
00:17:55.839 --> 00:17:57.799
try it out for high school basketball. Don't even have to make it,
240
00:17:57.880 --> 00:18:02.359
but you had to try out.
Okay, some kind of requirement are you
241
00:18:02.519 --> 00:18:06.039
have to make five three throws in
a minute to be in the celebrity gump.
242
00:18:06.839 --> 00:18:08.960
Hey, I agree. I mean
I feel like they should have celebrity
243
00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:12.880
game tryouts where celebrities come, you
know, like a week before and they
244
00:18:12.960 --> 00:18:17.240
try out, okay, and then
the captains get to pick their teams.
245
00:18:17.279 --> 00:18:21.720
I feel like that's what they should
do. Yeah, one hundred resent people,
246
00:18:21.759 --> 00:18:23.119
be sure? No, they don't
even know what they're doing. They
247
00:18:23.319 --> 00:18:29.200
you. You put them against miles
Gary, Quavo, people that I don't
248
00:18:29.200 --> 00:18:32.519
know what to play basketball. Gay, it's not even there, like,
249
00:18:32.640 --> 00:18:34.960
what are we doing? Yeah,
Quabos Nice, I mean Jameles played in
250
00:18:36.039 --> 00:18:40.839
it before, like Jake. Yeah, Collins Brown, Yeah, Kevin Harwood.
251
00:18:40.880 --> 00:18:44.920
Sound Nice. Yeah, I mean
I feel like they're more concerned with
252
00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:47.680
the celebrity to the game, and
that's fine. I mean it's really so
253
00:18:47.960 --> 00:18:51.440
yeah, competitive, but still you
gotta get a good Hustle Award. All
254
00:18:51.559 --> 00:18:56.200
right, you pretty much covered the
celebrity game in our good hustle awards and
255
00:18:56.599 --> 00:19:00.799
hoovers of the week. So we're
moving on this all star Saturday. So
256
00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:04.079
let's talk about the skills challenge for
just a second. And the most interesting
257
00:19:04.200 --> 00:19:08.119
thing about the skills challenge was definitely
the new format. So, Dean,
258
00:19:08.200 --> 00:19:11.720
were you offend a new format,
would you think of the I love I
259
00:19:11.880 --> 00:19:17.079
absolutely adored and you format. I
just love it. It's just way more
260
00:19:17.160 --> 00:19:22.960
competitive. The team's is just better
than the individual thing because they most most
261
00:19:22.960 --> 00:19:27.200
of the time, they players like
that go individually don't even try or like
262
00:19:27.319 --> 00:19:30.799
don't try their best. I feel
like there was some spice to it this
263
00:19:30.920 --> 00:19:33.920
year with the unto, the Komba
team, with the cast team in the
264
00:19:34.039 --> 00:19:38.240
rookies. I love the new format
and the to the what is it for
265
00:19:38.400 --> 00:19:42.400
different types of competition that they have? It was a it was as fun
266
00:19:42.480 --> 00:19:45.759
to watch. They had the shooting, they had the passing, the relay.
267
00:19:47.319 --> 00:19:48.759
It was as fun overall. I
just love it. Yeah, and
268
00:19:48.839 --> 00:19:52.880
I mean not to be a contrarian, but I didn't know what was happening
269
00:19:52.039 --> 00:19:59.599
half the time. Fair scoring seemed
a little look scared. I didn't understand
270
00:19:59.680 --> 00:20:02.720
like the scoring and the tiebreakers.
That was kind of odd. That's that.
271
00:20:03.279 --> 00:20:06.319
Yeah, that's that's one thing that
I would change. The tie breaker.
272
00:20:06.400 --> 00:20:11.440
Like you just shoot until you like
what they they they pig dairy's Garland
273
00:20:11.519 --> 00:20:14.599
and put them up against the noses. The Nazi's gonna break that Shit like
274
00:20:14.720 --> 00:20:18.319
one hundred percent of the time,
but it's not even fair. And a
275
00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:22.279
lot of times, like it was
a little chaotic, like the passing drill
276
00:20:22.319 --> 00:20:25.720
where you have three guys going at
once. Yeah, I love the chaotic.
277
00:20:25.920 --> 00:20:27.599
I love that because the rookies that
you if you saw the rookies,
278
00:20:27.640 --> 00:20:30.839
were ready, like they were like
yeah, like it, with three,
279
00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:36.000
three men, we even reach it. I love that's true. It was
280
00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:37.720
a little chaotic, but I feel
like if they keep this format, I
281
00:20:37.839 --> 00:20:41.079
mean, I mean, it's not
their fault. I'm not Domina, you
282
00:20:41.160 --> 00:20:45.759
know, I'm not smart enough to
actually follow what's happening. So I mean,
283
00:20:45.799 --> 00:20:48.559
I feel like if it's the same
format for a few years, then
284
00:20:48.599 --> 00:20:52.640
I'll be able to adjust to it. And I like the team aspect,
285
00:20:52.680 --> 00:20:55.960
like you're saying. Yeah, and
I like the three stages. That does
286
00:20:56.079 --> 00:21:00.039
make it more interesting. J where
we were your thoughts on the format that
287
00:21:00.400 --> 00:21:06.240
I thought the new format was okay. I did like the team aspect of
288
00:21:06.359 --> 00:21:10.519
it a lot. I thought the
shooting thing was pretty interesting, like the
289
00:21:10.640 --> 00:21:14.359
different strategies. The rookies were saying, now we're running to shoot mid range
290
00:21:14.400 --> 00:21:17.680
and the corner three where the Daris
Garlands, like I'm just going to shoot
291
00:21:17.680 --> 00:21:22.079
it from like the five spot every
time you point you y honest pulled up
292
00:21:22.079 --> 00:21:26.680
from the five spot. The passing
thing did confuse me. Like that was
293
00:21:26.720 --> 00:21:29.519
pretty hectic. But other than that, like I liked it a lot.
294
00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:33.079
But the only thing I always say
is the format they had the last two
295
00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:36.559
years where the guys race up the
corner at the same time. was only
296
00:21:36.599 --> 00:21:38.759
thing I'll probably miss. Like that
was a really good one. Like House
297
00:21:38.799 --> 00:21:42.839
of bone is, I think was
he racing against Jason Tatum couple years ago?
298
00:21:42.880 --> 00:21:45.440
I can't remember, but like they
were going up to court the same
299
00:21:45.519 --> 00:21:49.680
time. That's the only element I
missed. But this new team format I
300
00:21:49.799 --> 00:21:53.799
think could work out because it does
add a different element to it. So
301
00:21:55.359 --> 00:21:57.400
overall I thought it was okay.
But like take like you said, TC,
302
00:21:57.519 --> 00:22:00.640
if they keep doing it for,
you know, a couple years,
303
00:22:02.079 --> 00:22:03.400
I think it'll be like really good. is they probably going to add some
304
00:22:03.480 --> 00:22:07.319
more to it, especially like the
shootout from half court. We got mobili
305
00:22:07.680 --> 00:22:11.480
just casually pull it up and half
court shot. Like I thought it was
306
00:22:11.519 --> 00:22:15.599
good overall, though. Yeah,
yeah, I mean then there's all kinds
307
00:22:15.640 --> 00:22:19.440
of interesting trios you could do like, yeah, the possibilities are endless.
308
00:22:19.599 --> 00:22:22.839
And just imagine if you had the
two thousand and seventeen warriors teaming up like
309
00:22:22.920 --> 00:22:29.359
you had Katie Clay and staff doing. It's like what happened? Yeah,
310
00:22:29.359 --> 00:22:33.119
all right, I mean could have
friends like get Lebron Mellow and Chris Paul
311
00:22:33.200 --> 00:22:36.960
to do it. Yeah, maybe, Dope. Yeah, yeah, it
312
00:22:37.119 --> 00:22:40.079
was. It's just the possibilities are
endless. Coul yeah, onto the COOMBO
313
00:22:40.160 --> 00:22:41.920
team is going to be different every
year. The cavs team is going to
314
00:22:42.000 --> 00:22:45.960
be wherever they go to the all
star do the all stars. So make
315
00:22:45.960 --> 00:22:48.119
sure I'd be like the Utah Jazz. Yeah, yeah, exactly in the
316
00:22:48.160 --> 00:22:51.759
book. Is gonna be different every
year. So it's it's gonna be interesting.
317
00:22:51.839 --> 00:22:53.240
It's gonna be interesting. I am
not sing. Like one thing,
318
00:22:53.359 --> 00:22:56.759
though, that if I would have
went on Bolvada and put some money on
319
00:22:56.960 --> 00:23:00.599
onto the Coombo, I would have
lost, because I have fully yeah,
320
00:23:00.680 --> 00:23:03.680
I had. I was, I
did too. I was, I was
321
00:23:03.759 --> 00:23:07.039
bamboozled, I was let a stray. I thought that the Hustle was going
322
00:23:07.119 --> 00:23:11.519
to count for some, but it
didn't. So, I mean, I
323
00:23:11.680 --> 00:23:15.079
love I love the Nash has but
he is the antithesis of see. Yeah,
324
00:23:15.160 --> 00:23:21.039
he is a glue guy through and
through, like Dennis Robin out here,
325
00:23:21.200 --> 00:23:22.920
like all right, just gonna run
over some stuff. But yeah,
326
00:23:22.920 --> 00:23:27.599
I mean that. That was my
takeaway of the Anto Takoupas are freak athletes,
327
00:23:27.720 --> 00:23:33.240
but probably the least skilled family in
NBA history. Yeah, in terms
328
00:23:33.279 --> 00:23:37.720
of skill. Yeah, they're not
not the best. Even even Yannest is
329
00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:41.279
it really cut out for that contest
like it. Yeah, and they don't,
330
00:23:41.319 --> 00:23:45.480
like you're nothing to have a shooter
in in their mist. So the
331
00:23:45.599 --> 00:23:52.440
shooting line was was sad. Yeah, shooting was hard to watch, se
332
00:23:52.640 --> 00:23:56.319
with all those bricks. Yeah,
that was tough. Yeah, but what?
333
00:23:56.440 --> 00:24:00.279
I don't understand why they chose Alex
instead of coast us. Yeah,
334
00:24:00.039 --> 00:24:04.720
I don't think. Yeah, I
mean they none of them and none of
335
00:24:04.759 --> 00:24:08.240
the teams had seen the format before. So I don't think most of them
336
00:24:08.359 --> 00:24:11.680
kind of grasp the strategy. I
mean the rooks look really prepared, but
337
00:24:11.799 --> 00:24:15.279
like the calves and have to Jokumpos, like, they didn't look like they
338
00:24:15.400 --> 00:24:19.880
understood the strategy very yeah, that's
all right, it's the first year and
339
00:24:19.920 --> 00:24:25.519
it doesn't really matter. But yeah, I mean that's how the dog down
340
00:24:25.559 --> 00:24:26.960
to the COMPOS won the passing one, because they were hustling. They was
341
00:24:27.000 --> 00:24:32.960
just throwing, yeah, he's fucking
yeah, on the left side Bro just.
342
00:24:34.079 --> 00:24:37.079
I mean it was chaos to they
were running into each other and like
343
00:24:37.160 --> 00:24:41.519
I don't know how they won.
Like the cavs looked so much smoother,
344
00:24:41.680 --> 00:24:45.160
got like fourteen less points somehow.
I didn't really understand the scoring, but
345
00:24:45.279 --> 00:24:49.440
like coupos were just sprinting in between
like run, yeah, to each other
346
00:24:49.559 --> 00:24:53.279
and stuff. It's yeah, it
was definitely fun. All right, let's
347
00:24:53.279 --> 00:24:57.079
move on to the three point contest. Then was a three point shootout.
348
00:24:57.160 --> 00:25:03.960
Now three point contestsn't know, MARTIN
DO? That's what we do, competition
349
00:25:03.119 --> 00:25:07.839
where they shoot three pointers. Yeah, shout out to mountain dew for making
350
00:25:07.880 --> 00:25:12.319
a delicious soda and for sponsoring then, if you want to sponsor this show,
351
00:25:12.680 --> 00:25:18.599
you just say the word. Say
The word so j what were your
352
00:25:18.640 --> 00:25:25.599
takeaways from the three point contest?
Um, my takeaways were, I thought,
353
00:25:25.680 --> 00:25:29.599
do you we had a fantastic point. If the duck contests, which
354
00:25:29.640 --> 00:25:33.039
I won't go in yet because I
know you guys have thoughts this, the
355
00:25:33.079 --> 00:25:36.359
dew point shoot out could be a
last event of the night just because of
356
00:25:36.440 --> 00:25:38.960
the peer entertainment of it and when
guys get hot like best, with the
357
00:25:40.079 --> 00:25:42.319
NBA being mostly about their point of
shooting. Now is watching like you saw
358
00:25:42.359 --> 00:25:45.640
a staff got I just watching that
kind of moment to building up. My
359
00:25:45.799 --> 00:25:49.920
only takeaway was like, where were
some of the best shooters in the League
360
00:25:51.000 --> 00:25:53.400
at the like? I was wondering, like where was Steph? Obviously that's
361
00:25:53.440 --> 00:25:57.440
not fair to put a minute amongst
mere mortals. Where was clay? I
362
00:25:57.519 --> 00:26:02.039
mean plays only play like probably ten
or twelve games, but you get just
363
00:26:02.160 --> 00:26:04.519
out of respect deep book who has
wanted before. Like I thought it was
364
00:26:04.599 --> 00:26:08.680
missing some of the Marquis shooters who
have done it. But overall, though,
365
00:26:08.799 --> 00:26:12.799
like I thought, with the implementation
of him out and Duball to that's
366
00:26:12.839 --> 00:26:17.640
worth of like three points, it
really makes it super duper interesting and like
367
00:26:17.759 --> 00:26:21.319
you get to choose where your moneyball
rack is at, so you could you
368
00:26:21.359 --> 00:26:22.960
know, I feel like you're from
the corner, top of the key,
369
00:26:22.079 --> 00:26:27.160
the wing. It was probably by
far my favorite event of all star weekend,
370
00:26:27.200 --> 00:26:30.359
aside from the actual game. Yeah, yeah, for sure. I
371
00:26:30.440 --> 00:26:36.160
mean the three point contest is easily
the best part of all star Saturday and
372
00:26:36.240 --> 00:26:41.799
it has been for several years.
Other than that time, Aaron Gordon and
373
00:26:41.920 --> 00:26:47.519
Zach Lavine the same. It wasn't. Yeah, EAS but yeah, I
374
00:26:47.599 --> 00:26:51.079
mean might take away his cat.
Is Gross. Cat Is Really Nice.
375
00:26:51.319 --> 00:26:53.640
Chee. I love. I loved
what you said about him having fun too.
376
00:26:53.759 --> 00:26:59.839
It's good to see him having fun. And Yeah, it seemed like
377
00:27:00.000 --> 00:27:03.240
after his mom passed with Covid I
mean it seemed like he, I mean
378
00:27:03.319 --> 00:27:07.519
you could just kind of tell from
afar like he wasn't at the best spot.
379
00:27:07.839 --> 00:27:08.559
I mean, if my mom died, you know I wouldn't be in
380
00:27:08.559 --> 00:27:11.119
the best spot either. But it
was good to see him smiling, having
381
00:27:11.240 --> 00:27:17.759
fun, you know, really enjoying
the three point contest and really enjoy an
382
00:27:17.759 --> 00:27:21.640
all star weekend. That was definitely
a definitely a plus for sure. I
383
00:27:21.720 --> 00:27:26.400
could I go everything you guys have
said and I didn't know cat had it
384
00:27:26.480 --> 00:27:29.240
like that, to be honest.
I know. I mean because it shoot
385
00:27:29.279 --> 00:27:32.440
here. I didn't know was the
leading peopoint shooter on his team like that's
386
00:27:32.480 --> 00:27:37.680
insane. He has like Anthony Edwards
honest team Dlo. It was my boggling.
387
00:27:37.880 --> 00:27:40.880
I was the last round when he
hit twenty nine. I was like,
388
00:27:41.279 --> 00:27:45.680
what the fuck, because I had
I had stay young or Luke Nar
389
00:27:45.880 --> 00:27:49.160
winning, especially Luke Ar. I
with thought he was on on. Yeah,
390
00:27:49.319 --> 00:27:52.599
that was my pic. I picked
luke an arm. By mean shout
391
00:27:52.640 --> 00:27:56.359
out to each Vj. Actually pick
cat yeah, to win. It represent
392
00:27:57.000 --> 00:28:02.319
no twin, but I love the
I love the day added the Montain do
393
00:28:02.559 --> 00:28:04.400
zone. It was just fun or
raw, and I agree, and the
394
00:28:04.519 --> 00:28:07.240
night on. That that's the most
hype kind of contest. Love well,
395
00:28:07.240 --> 00:28:11.519
because we okay, I'm gonna stop
there because I'm I was gonna year serious,
396
00:28:11.960 --> 00:28:17.200
because I want to hear what's gonna, you know, shoot a little
397
00:28:17.200 --> 00:28:21.039
bit against the the contest. So
then, since we're talking about cat,
398
00:28:21.519 --> 00:28:26.680
cat is in fact a center and
cat did win the three point contest by
399
00:28:26.759 --> 00:28:30.960
a decent margin. I mean that
last round he was the best by far.
400
00:28:30.880 --> 00:28:37.400
So does that make since he's one
the three point contest and is shooting
401
00:28:37.559 --> 00:28:42.640
so well, it's Karl Anthony Towns, the best shooting center in NBA history.
402
00:28:42.920 --> 00:28:47.319
Not Forward, obviously not forward.
Okay, because I was going to
403
00:28:47.440 --> 00:28:51.759
I was going to put jerks,
I was going to put but catty is
404
00:28:51.839 --> 00:28:53.960
in fact a center. He's a
center. He's not just a forward,
405
00:28:55.200 --> 00:28:59.319
he's a center. And so does
this make Karl Anthony towns the best shooting
406
00:28:59.480 --> 00:29:03.000
center of all time? I'm going
to say yes, but I'm going to
407
00:29:03.039 --> 00:29:07.480
say yes because not just because of
what I saw this weekend, but I've
408
00:29:07.519 --> 00:29:12.279
been watching cat since he was planning
in Jersey and when we went to Kentucky,
409
00:29:12.400 --> 00:29:15.599
like you could just tell, like
the way he shot the ball,
410
00:29:15.319 --> 00:29:18.640
when coach Kyl a lot him shoot
three's, that he was that guy.
411
00:29:18.359 --> 00:29:22.440
This one specific thing you said like
best shooting center of all time, because
412
00:29:22.480 --> 00:29:26.559
that when he said best shooting big
man a couple months agout. WHOA,
413
00:29:26.599 --> 00:29:30.279
Whoa. Have you ever heard of
Derk Novitski? Like no, Neverk is
414
00:29:30.319 --> 00:29:33.079
the best shooter for you know,
big man, but as a center is
415
00:29:33.200 --> 00:29:37.200
got to be Carlyton towns. I
did not know he was shooting like forty
416
00:29:37.240 --> 00:29:41.319
one percent from downtown leading his team
and for a seventh verd to be doing
417
00:29:41.440 --> 00:29:45.240
that with that kind of easy,
like flow to his shout to I think
418
00:29:45.279 --> 00:29:51.480
he's got to be. Yeah,
one hundred percent, Becuz I when when
419
00:29:51.519 --> 00:29:53.640
I saw the question, I was
like, Hmm, I try, I
420
00:29:53.759 --> 00:29:57.839
try to like think of any other
names that but nobody comes even close to
421
00:29:57.960 --> 00:30:03.200
the way he cat, the shooting, has been shooting throughout his career.
422
00:30:03.480 --> 00:30:07.000
So I mean, yeah, he
has to be the best shooting center of
423
00:30:07.079 --> 00:30:10.960
all time. Yeah, I mean
without a question, and that distinction is
424
00:30:10.960 --> 00:30:14.920
important. Obviously, there's some forwards
who could absolutely stroke it, like Dirk
425
00:30:15.160 --> 00:30:19.240
obviously, I think, like Ryan
Anderson and Richard Lewis. Yes, those
426
00:30:19.240 --> 00:30:25.519
guys can absolutely know Turtlo lose Turkloo. Yeah, they just went. HMM,
427
00:30:25.720 --> 00:30:30.480
don't forget about the red rocket,
that barb who balance out there.
428
00:30:30.599 --> 00:30:36.720
Yeah, but the differences, it's
none of those guys are centers and Carl
429
00:30:36.799 --> 00:30:38.880
Anthony towns is a center. So
yes, he is the best shooting center
430
00:30:38.920 --> 00:30:41.960
of all time. Yeah, and
I mean he saw its a lot of
431
00:30:42.039 --> 00:30:47.640
career left. So I'm a huge
cat guy. I love cat. that.
432
00:30:48.119 --> 00:30:49.039
Now, how can you hate him? How can you hate on cat?
433
00:30:49.160 --> 00:30:52.200
Yeah, I mean the fact that
he can stroke threes and just like
434
00:30:52.400 --> 00:30:56.000
throw down windmill dunks, you know, in the in these like yeah,
435
00:30:56.079 --> 00:31:00.680
how do you not like him?
He's he's a beast. I mean,
436
00:31:00.000 --> 00:31:06.039
and Dj kind of alluded to this, but the three point contest was missing
437
00:31:06.119 --> 00:31:10.680
a lot of guys. A lot
of the League's best shooters we're not in
438
00:31:10.839 --> 00:31:12.960
this year's contest for one reason or
another. I mean I'm thinking of like
439
00:31:14.160 --> 00:31:21.920
Joe Harris, like bj mentioned,
Devin Booker, Staff Curry, play Thompson.
440
00:31:22.160 --> 00:31:26.559
Obviously you could throw Kevin Durrant in
any year. I mean, but
441
00:31:26.640 --> 00:31:30.680
none of those guys were in it, and so is cat. It's victory
442
00:31:30.920 --> 00:31:34.720
hollow or tainted in any way because
those guys aren't there. Yeah, what
443
00:31:34.720 --> 00:31:38.359
do you think? A little bit, but I don't blame him because it's
444
00:31:38.400 --> 00:31:41.000
not his fault. Like half of
the guys you just name or injured.
445
00:31:41.400 --> 00:31:47.119
And you know, the three point
done, the three point contest has a
446
00:31:47.160 --> 00:31:49.680
history of not having always all the
best players because, like curry missed it
447
00:31:49.680 --> 00:31:53.519
a few years and you can't put
curry in there because this is going to
448
00:31:53.559 --> 00:31:56.839
be automatic win every time. There's
some guys that you can't see you just
449
00:31:57.000 --> 00:32:01.039
can't put in there because it would
be a no contest. But I look
450
00:32:01.079 --> 00:32:04.799
at the at the list of like
the best three point shooters, there's people
451
00:32:04.839 --> 00:32:07.480
that should definitely have been there.
Like why was Dosn't main there? Like
452
00:32:07.680 --> 00:32:10.279
I get he's a pretty good shooter, but, like, I don't think
453
00:32:10.319 --> 00:32:14.000
you got it like that. You
know, there's there's a few names that
454
00:32:14.000 --> 00:32:15.640
I would have replaced, like Duncan
Robinson should have been there, I feel
455
00:32:15.680 --> 00:32:22.279
like. You know, Garry Trent
Junior. There's there's a there buddy healed.
456
00:32:22.359 --> 00:32:25.079
Like why weren't they there? They
there's some there's something. There's some
457
00:32:25.160 --> 00:32:30.319
bigger names that were actually missings.
That would have made it actually a little
458
00:32:30.319 --> 00:32:34.480
bit more competitive, because the first
a couple guys had like what, sixteen,
459
00:32:34.759 --> 00:32:37.799
eighteens, I don't know. There's
just there was missing something. Also,
460
00:32:37.839 --> 00:32:42.880
I would probably put up another extra
round in there because it seemed pretty
461
00:32:42.920 --> 00:32:45.119
short to me. There was pretty
fast. Yeah, I didn't think it
462
00:32:45.160 --> 00:32:47.559
was over. I thought there was
going to be a final between exactly exactly.
463
00:32:47.680 --> 00:32:52.519
It was literally like super fatter,
like everybody even once and then the
464
00:32:52.599 --> 00:32:54.960
top three when another time and then
as it yeah, that's a good point,
465
00:32:55.559 --> 00:33:00.319
hmm. But did go back to
your question. Yeah, I feel
466
00:33:00.359 --> 00:33:02.640
like it was a little tainted because
some of the best shooters were in there,
467
00:33:02.720 --> 00:33:06.440
but it wasn't his fault. I
mean, with all due respect,
468
00:33:06.960 --> 00:33:09.559
no, it's not tainted at all. I can segreed you up because it's
469
00:33:09.599 --> 00:33:14.640
like people saying the say it's the
same argument this like last year when the
470
00:33:14.720 --> 00:33:17.279
sun's got to the finals because,
like people were injured and stuff. It
471
00:33:17.319 --> 00:33:22.079
doesn't matter, like you play,
who's there and it's not that the actual
472
00:33:22.240 --> 00:33:24.680
title for WHO's the best shooter in
the NBA. I saw who that was
473
00:33:24.759 --> 00:33:29.240
on Sunday. I mean there's no
question. I mean it's like you bet
474
00:33:29.279 --> 00:33:31.799
you be who's there and cappy,
who's there. So I mean, yeah,
475
00:33:31.920 --> 00:33:36.839
some of the best guys weren't there, but that doesn't taint his title
476
00:33:36.960 --> 00:33:42.400
at all as the two thousand and
twenty two NBA three point champion, right
477
00:33:42.559 --> 00:33:45.680
like that. It doesn't taint that
at all. That's he is in front
478
00:33:45.720 --> 00:33:50.319
of you and he hit twenty nine. So yeah, yeah, yeah,
479
00:33:50.519 --> 00:33:52.680
I agree he did. Yeah,
I don't think it was tain it.
480
00:33:52.839 --> 00:33:55.799
Like I mean, like Dean say, is not his father. Those guys
481
00:33:55.839 --> 00:34:00.599
weren't there. But I'm just going
to say no, wasn't tanger because,
482
00:34:00.640 --> 00:34:04.359
like he was the like ads on
lowest part, like favorite to win it
483
00:34:04.440 --> 00:34:07.079
toss, like he was the only
center in there, and the fact that
484
00:34:07.160 --> 00:34:10.360
he did when it made it that
much better that he did. But I
485
00:34:10.559 --> 00:34:14.039
think, like, especially if we're
saying you might be the best jump shooting
486
00:34:14.079 --> 00:34:16.679
center of all time. This kind
of like elevates him even more into that
487
00:34:16.800 --> 00:34:20.800
space. So I think like now
it's going to become a normal thing for
488
00:34:20.920 --> 00:34:22.519
big guys be out there. So, if anything, like I think,
489
00:34:22.519 --> 00:34:27.360
because Kat has also won the skills
competition to before. Yeah, so he's
490
00:34:27.440 --> 00:34:30.920
kind of revolutionize and is showing like
what the big gang is for big guys,
491
00:34:30.000 --> 00:34:32.280
essentially. So I don't think it
is. If anything, he was
492
00:34:32.320 --> 00:34:37.519
more impressive that he wanted. Actually, yeah, does he go for the
493
00:34:37.639 --> 00:34:40.000
dunk contest next year and go for
the three peat? Oh, he he
494
00:34:40.079 --> 00:34:43.519
would. He would have got it
this year. Shit, the clean sweet,
495
00:34:43.760 --> 00:34:47.920
you just go there and just do
I got there. He good.
496
00:34:51.519 --> 00:34:53.599
There's because he would make it on
the first try. Exactly. All right,
497
00:34:53.800 --> 00:34:59.559
I we can't. Let's let's see. Yeah, let's yeah, I
498
00:34:59.800 --> 00:35:04.320
can hold my tongue no longer.
I mean we can dance around it no
499
00:35:04.519 --> 00:35:12.760
longer. Let's address the elephant in
the All star weekend room. Let's talk
500
00:35:12.840 --> 00:35:17.800
about, and I use this term
as a term of art really very loosely,
501
00:35:20.039 --> 00:35:24.559
not to be taken literally, the
dunk contest. Deon, you're my
502
00:35:24.679 --> 00:35:29.960
guy. I give you the honor
of first take on the dunk contest.
503
00:35:30.199 --> 00:35:36.559
I defer to you. All right, so, where is my mic?
504
00:35:36.960 --> 00:35:44.440
There? You know, I was
pretty high before it all went down.
505
00:35:44.719 --> 00:35:47.159
You know, we had a rookie, Jalen Green, the kuld jump out
506
00:35:47.199 --> 00:35:52.800
of Jim. We saw what he's
done throughout the season. We have called
507
00:35:52.800 --> 00:35:55.519
Anthony Short dude. That came,
that got hops. I was okay,
508
00:35:57.320 --> 00:36:00.280
I don't know why he's here,
but maybe he got you got something,
509
00:36:00.400 --> 00:36:02.559
you got something to show? Then
we know. We know I'll be topping
510
00:36:02.760 --> 00:36:07.400
is dunker. We I was super
excited to see him. And then there
511
00:36:07.559 --> 00:36:12.559
was data. For some reason,
one dunk in the season he made it
512
00:36:12.599 --> 00:36:19.239
into the dunk contest. And so
the dunk contest start off with a ten
513
00:36:19.280 --> 00:36:22.400
minute to lay because it dude has
to tie his shoes like Bro. Come
514
00:36:22.480 --> 00:36:25.199
out with the timbers. Nobody would
have been hurt, like what are you
515
00:36:25.280 --> 00:36:30.199
doing? Okay, nobody cares.
Just put them on and come out with
516
00:36:30.239 --> 00:36:32.480
it. That would have been cool. there. Now you got us all
517
00:36:32.559 --> 00:36:37.719
wait in this due missing is the
laces and everything, like Bro and then
518
00:36:37.800 --> 00:36:43.519
takes five attempts to did the first
dunk and I was like okay, he's
519
00:36:43.760 --> 00:36:50.079
know was breaking the ice. It's
normal to miss. But then it's Jalen
520
00:36:50.119 --> 00:36:59.360
greenstern and I don't think there's any
better reaction than was Shaq had for his
521
00:36:59.519 --> 00:37:04.920
attempts. He was so upset.
The commentators like this is one of shacks
522
00:37:04.960 --> 00:37:07.400
per pood. I was like damn
straight. I was like what the hell
523
00:37:07.719 --> 00:37:10.880
like? Bro, change the dunks. You tried it ten fucking times.
524
00:37:12.000 --> 00:37:15.599
What are like? What just keep
on doing the same wimill, Josh Christopher
525
00:37:15.679 --> 00:37:20.679
missing the past. Either change it, Doune will change the pastor as simple
526
00:37:20.719 --> 00:37:23.400
as that passage to yourself there.
Damn the if he would have done the
527
00:37:23.559 --> 00:37:28.840
dunk that he had at the end
of all that, it would have been
528
00:37:29.039 --> 00:37:31.360
not it would have been nine across
the bar, but it know Heit he
529
00:37:31.519 --> 00:37:36.119
was stubborn that he had to hit
that one for some reason. Wasn't even
530
00:37:36.159 --> 00:37:40.199
that cool. And then JATA comes
out. You know the Dune contest is
531
00:37:40.440 --> 00:37:45.519
something that you know. It's prays
for, the theatricals, the showmanship and
532
00:37:45.639 --> 00:37:49.800
everything. Dude just grab the ball
and went up for a Wimbo done.
533
00:37:50.000 --> 00:37:53.880
What is it is? Is this
mind boggling. It was so disappointing.
534
00:37:54.920 --> 00:38:00.079
It was by far the words dunk
contest I have personally ever seen. I
535
00:38:00.119 --> 00:38:02.840
don't know if I'm sure the ones
back in the day will even better than
536
00:38:02.880 --> 00:38:07.800
that, like before Vin scarter,
and then no creativity whatsoever is it was
537
00:38:07.880 --> 00:38:13.000
just there was nothing good about this
dunk contest. They asked ob topping it
538
00:38:13.199 --> 00:38:15.960
at the end, after he had
it. Is troking is said if they
539
00:38:15.000 --> 00:38:21.800
should have rearranged the order of the
dunk contest. I felt so bad for
540
00:38:21.960 --> 00:38:24.840
dude because I can actually tried a
little bit. I felt so bad because
541
00:38:24.920 --> 00:38:30.719
Obie topping was like actually trying.
And then everybody else was just just terrible,
542
00:38:31.400 --> 00:38:37.519
terrible. It was just I was
I mean to have the power to
543
00:38:37.639 --> 00:38:40.559
yell at at the dunk contest anymore
because I was yelling during it. The
544
00:38:40.679 --> 00:38:51.079
English language only contains got stop,
you make me laugh. The English language
545
00:38:51.159 --> 00:39:00.519
contains only a fine combination of words, and none of them adequately describe what
546
00:39:00.679 --> 00:39:06.079
I had to endure sitting on my
couch Saturday night. Um, first of
547
00:39:06.119 --> 00:39:10.360
all, after the whatever that was, I couldn't find my way too.
548
00:39:10.679 --> 00:39:16.559
I couldn't find my way to bed
because suddenly my vision had gone completely awry
549
00:39:16.880 --> 00:39:22.599
from having to watch it. You
know. I luckily through sleeping. My
550
00:39:22.719 --> 00:39:25.519
vision returned, but I briefly was
blinded by the side of that dunk contest
551
00:39:27.320 --> 00:39:30.920
and then after I managed to find
my way to bed, I couldn't sleep.
552
00:39:30.400 --> 00:39:34.679
I was haunted by it. I
just kept, you know, the
553
00:39:34.880 --> 00:39:39.440
the vision of Miss Dunk after Miss
Dunk just replaying in my mind and I
554
00:39:39.519 --> 00:39:45.639
could not sleep. That was an
absolute travesty. Yeah, that was awkward
555
00:39:45.760 --> 00:39:52.079
to watch. First of all,
what the Hell is an attempt? Can
556
00:39:52.159 --> 00:39:54.599
we come? Yes, yes,
these guys get three attempts. So why
557
00:39:54.719 --> 00:40:00.639
is Jaalen green trying the same dunk
for the twelve time? Can we clarify
558
00:40:00.880 --> 00:40:04.159
what an attempt is? You have
to touch the rim with the basketball,
559
00:40:04.400 --> 00:40:07.800
first of all. If the attempt
goes right, the basketball should never touch
560
00:40:07.840 --> 00:40:09.880
the rim. So why is that
the metric for the attempt? That's it.
561
00:40:10.079 --> 00:40:15.159
That is so stupid. It's so
stupid because they were like it has
562
00:40:15.199 --> 00:40:19.960
to be a downward motion towards the
rim. What does that even mean?
563
00:40:20.639 --> 00:40:23.320
That just gives the guy incentive to
just pull up if it's not going exactly
564
00:40:23.480 --> 00:40:27.880
right. Bring back the shock clock. This is not that hard. Second
565
00:40:27.920 --> 00:40:31.639
of all, this is the least
creative group of Dunkers I've ever seen.
566
00:40:32.920 --> 00:40:37.519
Like there was not a single attempt
to do anything remotely creative. The closest
567
00:40:37.559 --> 00:40:43.559
thing to that was colanthony with the
Timberland's, which was kind of cool.
568
00:40:43.760 --> 00:40:45.679
I mean it sucked that we had
to wait for five minutes for him to
569
00:40:45.760 --> 00:40:52.639
lace up five of ten. That
took forever. That took forever and apparently
570
00:40:52.679 --> 00:40:58.599
it was like a reference to some
anime that only like fourteen of the people
571
00:40:58.679 --> 00:41:02.599
watching would recognize. Like I didn't
the boon ducks. I was about to
572
00:41:02.639 --> 00:41:06.800
say was it Buon Dot. Okay, you guys watch it. I didn't
573
00:41:06.800 --> 00:41:09.360
even get it from I don't even
get us. You guys have seen it
574
00:41:09.480 --> 00:41:13.000
and he didn't even connect the dots
right Awout, like not at all.
575
00:41:13.519 --> 00:41:17.280
What? But I mean at least
he tried to do something creative. Everybody
576
00:41:17.320 --> 00:41:25.719
else didn't even attempt anything cool,
like no legends involved, no props,
577
00:41:27.400 --> 00:41:30.000
like what are we doing? Like
did you guys prepare it all? Like
578
00:41:30.159 --> 00:41:34.519
did you try and think through this? Like if you don't have that great
579
00:41:34.599 --> 00:41:38.320
of Dunks, which clearly nobody did, you can always be created. You
580
00:41:38.400 --> 00:41:45.239
can always do something cool that counteracts
the lack of massive fur and sick.
581
00:41:45.440 --> 00:41:51.519
You know, choreography. So there
was complete lack of creativity. And then
582
00:41:52.639 --> 00:41:57.760
why are you preparing dunks that you
can't do? Yeah, if it takes
583
00:41:57.800 --> 00:42:01.519
that many attempts, I don't know
if there's some kind of massive difference between
584
00:42:01.719 --> 00:42:07.480
like what you can do in practice
and what you can do in the dunk
585
00:42:07.559 --> 00:42:12.599
contest. I would think that adrenaline
flowing would mean that you can do go
586
00:42:12.840 --> 00:42:19.199
just a little bit higher when it's
time to perform. But I mean none
587
00:42:19.239 --> 00:42:22.280
of these dunks could be performed.
I mean while' Toscano Anderson, or was
588
00:42:22.320 --> 00:42:24.960
it will be topping? I don't
remember. I don't want to remember.
589
00:42:25.559 --> 00:42:30.719
Somebody tried a honey pot and didn't
even come close. Just Kinda yeah,
590
00:42:30.679 --> 00:42:35.480
don't dream, baby got over his
wrist. I mean, that's that's a
591
00:42:35.599 --> 00:42:37.760
marquette guy. I mean, I
know. Yeah, I mean he tried
592
00:42:37.800 --> 00:42:42.000
a honeypot. Isn't even come close. Like, what are we doing?
593
00:42:42.480 --> 00:42:46.280
We are not winning, yeah,
we are. We are not winning.
594
00:42:46.960 --> 00:42:52.039
It was so bad that it will
be topping won the dunk contest with a
595
00:42:52.119 --> 00:42:58.239
fundamentally sound lay up. Like what
are we doing? The judges were so
596
00:42:58.360 --> 00:43:00.920
bored they gave a layup damn near
a fifty. Yeah, we does it
597
00:43:01.000 --> 00:43:06.679
standing there somewhere. It literally it
kept me up at night. I couldn't
598
00:43:06.679 --> 00:43:08.679
get the images of, you know, failed dunk after failed dunk out of
599
00:43:08.719 --> 00:43:12.840
my mind. It continues to haunt
me. I asked, I think I
600
00:43:12.920 --> 00:43:16.679
saw the stat and I think they're
shooting percentages were twenty one percent as a
601
00:43:16.760 --> 00:43:21.960
whole. And we talk about Dunks, we talking about dunks that you know
602
00:43:22.320 --> 00:43:25.920
how how stupid that is. I
have a suggestion. I have a suggestion
603
00:43:27.000 --> 00:43:30.239
for Bovada. They should put a
line on a tense per dunk next here.
604
00:43:30.760 --> 00:43:35.519
Yep, everybody were. I am
hammering the over, taking them over
605
00:43:35.679 --> 00:43:39.119
every time. And, don't get
me wrong, as horrible as this dunk
606
00:43:39.199 --> 00:43:45.159
contest was, I don't put it
all in the participants. The participants,
607
00:43:45.719 --> 00:43:47.760
in fact, I give probably more
credit than anybody I'm about to mention,
608
00:43:47.880 --> 00:43:52.880
because they did show up and they
did try. Like I said, very
609
00:43:52.960 --> 00:43:57.679
poorly executed, very poorly executed,
not very well thought out, but they
610
00:43:57.719 --> 00:44:00.480
showed up, they did try.
They're willing to put themselves out there,
611
00:44:01.360 --> 00:44:07.199
which brings me to my next and
larger question of the reason the dunk contest
612
00:44:07.400 --> 00:44:10.679
was so bad was not because of
who showed up, it was because of
613
00:44:10.760 --> 00:44:17.159
who didn't show up either. The
MBA cannot identify the best dunkers in the
614
00:44:17.239 --> 00:44:23.199
league and has no idea who can
really get up, because colanthony cannot get
615
00:44:23.320 --> 00:44:27.719
up that high. He really can't. He has no business being in the
616
00:44:27.760 --> 00:44:30.559
All Star game. I give him
full marks for showing up and trying,
617
00:44:30.679 --> 00:44:32.519
like I keep saying, but there's
no reason he should be in the dunk
618
00:44:32.559 --> 00:44:37.440
contest. Same with one Tuscano Anderson. So either the NBA has no clue
619
00:44:37.519 --> 00:44:43.960
and they're inviting the wrong people,
or the much more probable scenario, which
620
00:44:44.079 --> 00:44:49.920
is these guys were way down the
list and literally everybody else rejected being in
621
00:44:49.920 --> 00:44:52.239
the dunk contest. And that's why
the Don contest sucks and that's why I
622
00:44:52.320 --> 00:44:55.800
briefly lost my vision after having to
watch it. Is because the guys who
623
00:44:55.840 --> 00:44:59.920
can really dunk and the guys who
can really put on a show don't want
624
00:44:59.920 --> 00:45:01.480
to to do it, and that
has to change. Somebody has to come
625
00:45:01.519 --> 00:45:06.199
in like Zac lavine and Aaron Gorn
did and saved the dunk contest. I
626
00:45:06.320 --> 00:45:08.800
mean yeah, if a lot of
these guys were invited and they turned it
627
00:45:08.920 --> 00:45:12.840
down. There the problem, and
I don't know who it is, but
628
00:45:14.000 --> 00:45:16.519
they are the reason that Dun contest
sucks, not because of cold Anthony Cole
629
00:45:16.519 --> 00:45:20.000
Anthony and want this kind of interesting. Their vertical is what it is,
630
00:45:20.760 --> 00:45:22.480
and I mean they could have been
more creative, but they showed up and
631
00:45:22.480 --> 00:45:25.440
they tried. Versus everybody else too, just turned it down and doesn't want
632
00:45:25.480 --> 00:45:29.239
to do it. So after there's
my ram you did. You know,
633
00:45:29.320 --> 00:45:31.679
it's hard to follow that up but
Um, I'm just gonna say it because
634
00:45:31.679 --> 00:45:36.840
I feel like we've been somewhat nice, that they have been the worst don't
635
00:45:36.920 --> 00:45:40.280
contest, not just in NBA history, in the history since James Naismith and
636
00:45:40.400 --> 00:45:46.519
been the game back into at I
think that has said Duncan the basketball back
637
00:45:46.800 --> 00:45:51.519
quite so not just history, maybe
a history of basketball. That might even
638
00:45:51.519 --> 00:45:55.360
the worst contest I've ever seen.
Here's the thing. Talent fell asleep during
639
00:45:55.360 --> 00:45:59.199
the dunk contest and I was pretty
up somewhat. You going to leave me
640
00:45:59.280 --> 00:46:00.599
here to watch this by myself?
I was like, let know, you
641
00:46:00.760 --> 00:46:07.920
suffer too. You Suffer Watch these
grown miss dunkes with no defenders. There's
642
00:46:07.000 --> 00:46:15.239
nobody like Col Anthony. You six
three. On a good day, you're
643
00:46:15.280 --> 00:46:17.920
going to put on like thirty pounds
shoes and that's supposed to help you get
644
00:46:19.000 --> 00:46:22.480
up hired. Anybody who walks around
it tims nose. Your big toe is
645
00:46:22.559 --> 00:46:28.320
numb after two steps. Cold.
What are you doing? That's what I
646
00:46:28.440 --> 00:46:34.440
said, like who, come on, son, Tam's are for walking around
647
00:46:34.519 --> 00:46:37.599
and snow, not trying to get
Max elevation. Science, baby, science.
648
00:46:38.239 --> 00:46:43.280
That's what I'm doing. What are
you doing? Okay, and the
649
00:46:43.400 --> 00:46:50.199
next thing, I have truly legitimately
seen better dunks on the NERF POPs right.
650
00:46:50.559 --> 00:46:52.599
I've seen my boys get out with
the ones you hang on the back
651
00:46:52.679 --> 00:46:55.480
of your door. I've seen my
friends get up and do some sickety dunk
652
00:46:55.599 --> 00:47:00.199
on those. Like I've seen much
better. So I don't know how like
653
00:47:00.960 --> 00:47:02.880
and today on to be honest point, I only had that in my note.
654
00:47:04.360 --> 00:47:06.760
I am going to go out on
the limb and I was willing to
655
00:47:06.760 --> 00:47:09.719
be out. I put a mortgage
on this. They shot higher percentage from
656
00:47:09.760 --> 00:47:14.920
the three point line in the previous
secret. Then he did dunk in the
657
00:47:15.000 --> 00:47:17.639
basketball, which is sad. Which
is true. That is says. It's
658
00:47:17.679 --> 00:47:21.960
like this appointing. I guess so
bad. Yeah, and I'm wondered.
659
00:47:22.000 --> 00:47:25.280
I'm like, my man, want
to kind of he has one backdoor dunk
660
00:47:25.360 --> 00:47:30.000
on Javale McGee and that's all it
took to get him in the dunk contest.
661
00:47:30.119 --> 00:47:31.760
Oh Yeah, you know he don't
do Javale McGee on the back door.
662
00:47:31.840 --> 00:47:35.679
You must be good, my man, call Anthony Had A. I
663
00:47:35.760 --> 00:47:38.400
think a wide open lay up or
dunk package is Detroit as like yeah,
664
00:47:38.800 --> 00:47:43.039
I think I think they will do
it. OBE topping does it? East
665
00:47:43.079 --> 00:47:46.480
pay in game? Yeah, I
think that'll do it. Jason Green Jumps
666
00:47:46.480 --> 00:47:51.719
Pretty High. I think that do
except Jalen Green. I mean I truly
667
00:47:51.800 --> 00:47:55.480
think, like his first attempt was
longer than the whole walking day series along,
668
00:47:55.599 --> 00:48:00.840
like he was out there just,
you know. And then Josh Christopher,
669
00:48:01.000 --> 00:48:06.360
my man, my man, sit
down if you can, have a
670
00:48:06.440 --> 00:48:10.079
seat in your leather pants and let
somebody else give it a missing. Me
671
00:48:10.199 --> 00:48:17.480
Off this of me off with the
shady pass like sick right about you.
672
00:48:17.599 --> 00:48:22.039
You can't. You not a pastor, you are a scorer. So sick
673
00:48:22.239 --> 00:48:25.639
yasss dumb. All Right, I'm
just so mad. I'm like what Y'all
674
00:48:25.719 --> 00:48:30.639
do it? You know what it. We only topping. My man is
675
00:48:30.719 --> 00:48:32.440
like, you know what, I'm
a win of dunk contest on the East
676
00:48:32.480 --> 00:48:36.760
Bay off the glass, and I'm
sorry if the East Bay has now become
677
00:48:36.880 --> 00:48:37.960
not as important as it used to
be, because I'm like, Oh,
678
00:48:38.039 --> 00:48:42.800
that's his backup down, but I
mean that's all it really took. I
679
00:48:42.920 --> 00:48:45.000
think Cole Anthony, he might get
the shack in the war because he heard
680
00:48:45.039 --> 00:48:49.440
his thumb on the Damn Rim mid
game. I'm pretty sure the magic were
681
00:48:49.480 --> 00:48:52.920
happy to see him out there,
probably with a torn ligments now from Duncan
682
00:48:53.679 --> 00:48:59.639
I just have so many words on
what this contest was not like. I'd
683
00:48:59.760 --> 00:49:02.599
rather see like the kids on tick
tock who do trick layups. That was
684
00:49:02.679 --> 00:49:07.280
more and that's more In'taining than me, because they at least make a higher
685
00:49:07.280 --> 00:49:10.320
percentage of what these dudes are doing. Like John Brent within four minutes,
686
00:49:10.360 --> 00:49:14.440
and Taylor said this yesterday, John
Moreale, with the four minutes of the
687
00:49:14.519 --> 00:49:16.639
All Star game, had the best
don't for the week. Like that's what.
688
00:49:17.039 --> 00:49:22.119
Definitely got more cheers on that than
anybody all Saturday. Right, that
689
00:49:22.519 --> 00:49:28.760
was a national traveshty. I think
everybody who paid or who logged into the
690
00:49:28.840 --> 00:49:31.480
TNT APP should be awarded our back
of their time. I don't know how
691
00:49:31.559 --> 00:49:35.480
it works. If daylight saving will
give you that our back, but got
692
00:49:35.559 --> 00:49:42.159
damn because that was wrong. We
were wrong a Saturday night. We as
693
00:49:42.320 --> 00:49:45.039
viewers and me and Dian Or,
you know, soon to be lawyer.
694
00:49:45.159 --> 00:49:50.519
So we're considering bringing a class action
lawsuit what we had to sit through.
695
00:49:50.920 --> 00:49:57.559
False advertisement. That creates a contractual
relationship and they breach that relationship. We've
696
00:49:57.599 --> 00:50:02.000
been wronged by the NBA's negligence of
putting that on television. It was so
697
00:50:02.280 --> 00:50:07.199
bad that even though they got a
hunter of tense per person, somebody still
698
00:50:07.719 --> 00:50:14.519
was not able to make the dump. They call anthony literally exhausted his attempts.
699
00:50:14.639 --> 00:50:17.800
I don't know how that happened,
because Dyley Green went two hundred times
700
00:50:19.719 --> 00:50:23.440
and call Anthony Win four times and
couldn'tdunt anymore. Like what? It just
701
00:50:23.559 --> 00:50:29.639
doesn't make any sense to me.
Like you know my man, just Kotto
702
00:50:29.719 --> 00:50:32.400
Anderson. This was super ran.
He walks up to Dr Jay's like,
703
00:50:32.480 --> 00:50:35.559
Oh, can you sign this ball
for me? About to do it.
704
00:50:35.920 --> 00:50:39.639
Yeah, sure, DR J is
like, I don't even know it's ball
705
00:50:39.800 --> 00:50:45.280
for. Then Jay walks out with
the NFT necklace, like it's like a
706
00:50:45.360 --> 00:50:47.719
highlight. He gives it to I
forgot David Right. He gave to somebody
707
00:50:47.760 --> 00:50:53.039
and they were like wear it.
I was so confused. I was so
708
00:50:53.199 --> 00:50:58.719
doing. What's going on? All
these props, like you gotta make a
709
00:50:58.840 --> 00:51:01.559
dunk first, you know, worry
about the props layer, like Dr Jay
710
00:51:01.679 --> 00:51:06.239
is like just kind of what what
am I signess for? Like who?
711
00:51:09.880 --> 00:51:15.360
Dr Jacob done better as sixty?
Then what I want to start. Actually,
712
00:51:15.840 --> 00:51:22.119
they loose. I feel tremize.
I feel tremendous, GIL because I
713
00:51:22.320 --> 00:51:27.199
was watching with my wife and she
kept looking down on her phone and I
714
00:51:27.360 --> 00:51:30.519
told her to put down her phone
so we could enjoy it together. It
715
00:51:30.639 --> 00:51:32.719
turns out she was right and I
was wasting my time. I should have
716
00:51:32.800 --> 00:51:38.320
been also looking at my phone.
Also, can we stop with the non
717
00:51:39.840 --> 00:51:45.719
elite passers coming out and throwing the
passes for the dunk contest? These guys
718
00:51:45.719 --> 00:51:49.639
are not ready for prime time.
Okay, either need to lose an NBA
719
00:51:49.800 --> 00:51:52.840
legend or one of your teammates or
something, because these guys choked under pressure.
720
00:51:53.039 --> 00:51:57.639
Okay, they are not ready to
throw a good pass as soon as
721
00:51:57.679 --> 00:52:00.239
the cameras come on. Okay,
Greg Anthony couldn't even hold the ball for
722
00:52:00.320 --> 00:52:05.239
the first dounk. He did put
that on by me is just a position
723
00:52:05.440 --> 00:52:07.880
goal. Had No idea where to
put them. Okay, don't you Derek
724
00:52:07.960 --> 00:52:12.599
Slander Greg at its rehearse this,
like what are we what are we doing?
725
00:52:13.519 --> 00:52:15.440
I mean, Grek was standing where
he was told and Cole had no
726
00:52:15.519 --> 00:52:19.880
idea where he wanted them. Fair, fair, but I mean like how
727
00:52:20.519 --> 00:52:22.719
I mean this has been happening for
years now. Of like these guys who
728
00:52:22.800 --> 00:52:29.159
come out. It's like their sibling
or their agents or you know somebody,
729
00:52:29.239 --> 00:52:30.639
and they can't throw the past right
and we all have to stay here for
730
00:52:30.760 --> 00:52:35.719
five minutes while this poor person on
national television has no idea how to throw
731
00:52:35.800 --> 00:52:38.880
the pass correctly. Like, use
your teammates. Your teammates are used to
732
00:52:38.920 --> 00:52:44.000
being on national television. Use an
NBA legend. Okay, bring out John
733
00:52:44.039 --> 00:52:49.360
Stockton or Steve Nash or something like. The thing going is his teammate.
734
00:52:49.880 --> 00:52:52.639
That's what's the worst part is Josh
person here is a professional player, for
735
00:52:52.840 --> 00:52:58.000
there's no shot. He plays the
Houston Rockets. That is the worst part.
736
00:52:58.480 --> 00:53:00.480
Okay, if we're Havn't finished in
the top ten and assists, then
737
00:53:00.559 --> 00:53:06.639
don't use them. I'm tired of
it. But, like you said,
738
00:53:07.159 --> 00:53:09.000
like you get that, you guys
said. I was watching it with live
739
00:53:09.119 --> 00:53:15.159
and I was like they just just
don't worry. They saving it for later.
740
00:53:15.239 --> 00:53:17.719
They save all the bus duns for
later. Later never came. I
741
00:53:17.840 --> 00:53:22.840
kept apologizing for the day. Yes, sorry, look here, here,
742
00:53:22.920 --> 00:53:25.320
look up, look up, Babe, here he goes. Yeah, yeah,
743
00:53:25.519 --> 00:53:29.440
never mind, he breaks, like
you know, I'm just gonna put
744
00:53:29.440 --> 00:53:30.800
the Mac and cheese bites in oven. You go back, you go back
745
00:53:30.840 --> 00:53:39.079
to sleep. Cheese pipes pretty.
That's all. Yeah, sounds like sounds
746
00:53:39.079 --> 00:53:45.320
like a classy evening. Nope,
for sure, night was having ranch in
747
00:53:45.400 --> 00:53:50.920
the fridge to but, and I
I mean I don't know, but I
748
00:53:51.000 --> 00:53:53.320
can say this with full confidence that
those Mac and cheese byites were probably the
749
00:53:53.360 --> 00:54:01.320
best part of the night. Oh
successful only thing, that first one right
750
00:54:01.400 --> 00:54:09.719
in one attempt, was the Mac
and cheese by Barna. I was like,
751
00:54:09.800 --> 00:54:13.239
Oh, we should get wings,
we should get talk of them.
752
00:54:13.400 --> 00:54:15.440
She was like, I'm telling you, like, it's not gonna be that
753
00:54:15.559 --> 00:54:16.360
Gud. I was like, Oh, tew, you shut your mouth.
754
00:54:16.559 --> 00:54:22.199
She Hun Right. Oh Man.
So I mean all of us strit with
755
00:54:22.360 --> 00:54:25.639
great confidence, can say this was
the worst one contest of all time,
756
00:54:27.599 --> 00:54:31.360
and even close. Yep. So
then, with that being said, we
757
00:54:31.480 --> 00:54:37.000
thrown out a few suggestions, but
the NBA reaches out to us and they
758
00:54:37.039 --> 00:54:42.239
should. You have my phone number, Adam Silber, to us to right
759
00:54:42.639 --> 00:54:46.559
to fix the dunk contest. How
do we fix the DUN contest? J
760
00:54:47.119 --> 00:54:51.360
What do you think needs to be
done to fix the dum contest? So,
761
00:54:52.440 --> 00:54:55.159
honestly, think like I get it, like what you were saying about
762
00:54:55.280 --> 00:54:59.199
you know, the stars aren't doing
it. I don't know that trend.
763
00:54:59.360 --> 00:55:02.039
I'M gonna I'M gonna blame Lebron,
like I think what he said he wasn't
764
00:55:02.079 --> 00:55:05.199
doing it. I think a lot
of superstar said, well, I'm not
765
00:55:05.280 --> 00:55:08.840
doing it either. But here's the
thing, like if you go on Instagram,
766
00:55:09.000 --> 00:55:13.440
you just look at the street parks, we're guys du Dun't contest.
767
00:55:13.880 --> 00:55:15.960
Some of these guys like this is
legit all they do. They can't shoot,
768
00:55:16.039 --> 00:55:19.840
they can't dribble, they just go
to the gym do LEGAS, tension
769
00:55:19.920 --> 00:55:22.760
and squats and she jump up the
gym. Like I think the NBA should
770
00:55:22.800 --> 00:55:29.639
look at doing a tournament or some
kind of dunk off and then the culmination
771
00:55:29.760 --> 00:55:32.960
of it be at all star Saturday
night, like these are the top five
772
00:55:34.159 --> 00:55:37.679
or six donkers from across the United
States or Goldly, like internationally. Do
773
00:55:37.760 --> 00:55:39.159
whatever you got to do. But
because some of these guys, like our
774
00:55:39.280 --> 00:55:44.440
professional dunkers, like this is their
thing and they have more creativity just because,
775
00:55:44.480 --> 00:55:45.679
like this is all they can work
on. But I think, like
776
00:55:46.079 --> 00:55:50.599
you stopped trying to get guys to
do in the NBA because clearly, like
777
00:55:50.880 --> 00:55:53.079
I think, that trend just isn't
happening anymore, like the stars aren't doing
778
00:55:53.159 --> 00:55:57.119
it, and I think part of
it is like they're scared to be embarrassed,
779
00:55:57.400 --> 00:56:00.360
scared to be like, you know, roasted like these guys who just
780
00:56:00.440 --> 00:56:02.599
did this past Saturday are. So
I say you go and you get,
781
00:56:02.960 --> 00:56:06.119
you know, guys off the street
who this is like what they do,
782
00:56:06.719 --> 00:56:09.079
and you say, Hey, like
winner gets a million or two million,
783
00:56:09.119 --> 00:56:12.920
whatever it is, but you wo
Incenti fizes that because I think you'll get
784
00:56:13.039 --> 00:56:15.719
more effort and creativity from guys who, like you know, this is like
785
00:56:16.000 --> 00:56:20.239
this might be their one shot.
But I think as far as NBA guys
786
00:56:20.320 --> 00:56:23.079
doing it, that Shit might have
sailed like at least the superstars doing it
787
00:56:23.960 --> 00:56:28.440
one hundred percent. They that was
going to suggest something similar. I was
788
00:56:28.519 --> 00:56:31.079
going to say embarrassed, the embarrassed, the NBA players that are on the
789
00:56:31.199 --> 00:56:36.440
dunk contest. Just put them up
like too against to with to like street
790
00:56:36.519 --> 00:56:39.599
hoopers and two NBA Players, Oh, to two of the ones that you
791
00:56:39.679 --> 00:56:44.159
said do it professionally, like the
do kill, Gammon, kills some whatever,
792
00:56:44.280 --> 00:56:47.880
Jordan Killigan. Yeah, that be
just bring him in because or or
793
00:56:49.280 --> 00:56:52.039
at the very least, if you
can only have NBA players, at the
794
00:56:52.199 --> 00:56:57.719
very least just have these guys coach
the NBA players on how to be creative,
795
00:56:58.519 --> 00:57:01.920
because they clearly know what they're doing. They have dune contest all like
796
00:57:02.320 --> 00:57:07.320
either around. So I mean either
have them coached the NBA players, or
797
00:57:07.360 --> 00:57:12.760
go against them. So I will
assure you know, NBA player won't want
798
00:57:12.800 --> 00:57:15.239
to be outshine by regular street dude. So they going. They don't put
799
00:57:15.280 --> 00:57:20.440
their work in. So yeah,
and one of the things I've heard since
800
00:57:20.519 --> 00:57:23.920
the dunk contest is that's just not
possible. Like, you know, whatever,
801
00:57:24.280 --> 00:57:28.760
everything cool is already been done and
these street dunkers, like you guys
802
00:57:28.800 --> 00:57:31.360
are talking about, prove that that's
just bullshit. These guys keep coming up
803
00:57:31.400 --> 00:57:36.960
with great stuff and you know,
yeah, that's like saying, you know,
804
00:57:37.440 --> 00:57:39.360
all the good movies have already been
made and all of the great artwork
805
00:57:39.400 --> 00:57:43.760
it's already been painted. That's just
not true. That's just exactly, and
806
00:57:43.840 --> 00:57:47.119
I mean den stole my idea of
you pair an NBA player with a professional
807
00:57:47.239 --> 00:57:51.840
dunker and they're like a team.
Yeah, or you expand it to the
808
00:57:51.920 --> 00:57:57.480
g league or, HMM, yeah, you find a way to incentivize stars
809
00:57:57.719 --> 00:58:00.320
like who the don't counts. That
would be fire. Yeah, it means
810
00:58:00.519 --> 00:58:05.800
to that dope. Yeah, you
pair one of these like professional dunkers within
811
00:58:05.880 --> 00:58:07.719
it with the NBA player in their
team. Yeah, that'd be fine.
812
00:58:07.760 --> 00:58:10.719
That way you have a partner for
all of the dunks where you need like
813
00:58:10.840 --> 00:58:14.559
somebody to throw you a lab or
something. That's on your partner to get
814
00:58:14.559 --> 00:58:19.639
it right. And the second thing
is I one of the reasons, and
815
00:58:19.880 --> 00:58:22.639
you know VJ touched on this,
about the embarrassment or like not wanting to
816
00:58:22.679 --> 00:58:27.440
put themselves out there, but the
dunk contest has been ruined for some of
817
00:58:27.519 --> 00:58:30.480
the great dunkers like Aaron Gordon and
Derek Jones Jr, because the judging has
818
00:58:30.519 --> 00:58:35.800
been bad, and so I think, yeah, away with judges. Just
819
00:58:35.880 --> 00:58:37.840
do a fan vote. Like how
cool would that be if you just to
820
00:58:38.039 --> 00:58:44.079
log on to the NBA APP do
a live score? Like, yes,
821
00:58:44.960 --> 00:58:46.679
you know, there might be a
little bit of biased, but millions of
822
00:58:46.719 --> 00:58:50.519
people watching it, we want to
be impressed. If we see a great
823
00:58:50.599 --> 00:58:53.400
dunk, we're going to give it
at ten. Yeah, one hundred percent.
824
00:58:53.440 --> 00:58:59.039
I totally agree that. That would
be so much about. That's genius,
825
00:58:59.039 --> 00:59:02.920
because you get more viewership to more
viewership, like exactly. Yeah,
826
00:59:04.039 --> 00:59:07.920
it's so it's a very ball don't
lie type of thing of like either all
827
00:59:07.000 --> 00:59:12.519
of us are impressed or were not, and it's not like we're really trying
828
00:59:12.639 --> 00:59:15.519
to. I think like the All
star voting is a good example of like
829
00:59:15.639 --> 00:59:19.800
fans are just incredibly biased, but
I feel like when it comes to the
830
00:59:19.880 --> 00:59:22.880
dunk contest, I feel like you
could trust fans of like we want to
831
00:59:22.960 --> 00:59:25.679
be impressed and if we see a
sick dunk, I don't think we're going
832
00:59:25.760 --> 00:59:30.440
to hold it against somebody else.
Oh, facts. Yeah, so something
833
00:59:30.519 --> 00:59:35.000
has to be done with the judging
because that you know, that's the reason
834
00:59:35.000 --> 00:59:38.360
why we don't see Aaron Gordon and
Derrik Down's Jr anymore because they got screwed
835
00:59:38.519 --> 00:59:44.400
because of the voting going Wade,
and so they won't do it anymore and
836
00:59:44.400 --> 00:59:45.639
I think that's ruined it for a
lot of people. And thank you for
837
00:59:45.719 --> 00:59:51.159
bringing up bringing up Lebron. I
hold it against Lebron just a little bit
838
00:59:51.559 --> 00:59:54.480
that he was like the first huge
star to just totally do cool for the
839
00:59:54.559 --> 00:59:59.480
dunk contest and that's done before him. All the greats did it. Who
840
00:59:59.519 --> 01:00:02.559
could act? Julie Jam so I
don't know. It needs to be fixed.
841
01:00:02.719 --> 01:00:07.480
It is broken. It's broken,
but I mean just past two minutes
842
01:00:07.519 --> 01:00:09.960
we've had some pretty good ideas of
how to fix it. So hopefully this
843
01:00:10.119 --> 01:00:15.559
was bad. There's really really I'm
so going to call us. Yeah,
844
01:00:15.559 --> 01:00:21.800
yeah, my number. I mean, I think this done con and it
845
01:00:21.880 --> 01:00:25.000
gives me hope because the NBA,
with every with everything else, with the
846
01:00:25.039 --> 01:00:29.880
all star weekend, everything else they've
changed the format of has been really good.
847
01:00:30.719 --> 01:00:34.159
Let me talk about the skills challenge. Was Fire. The allstar games
848
01:00:34.559 --> 01:00:37.519
absolutely fire. Yeah, and they
change the format of that, and so
849
01:00:37.760 --> 01:00:40.880
it gives me hope that they will
be able to fix the Dune contest.
850
01:00:43.159 --> 01:00:47.199
Thank you for sending through that that
this was very therapeutic for us. Verry,
851
01:00:49.840 --> 01:00:53.360
I still might see professional help about
the feelings I've felt after watching the
852
01:00:53.440 --> 01:00:59.079
dunk contest. I was that filled
with anger and rage and sadness, but
853
01:00:59.480 --> 01:01:02.559
this helped for sure. So thank
you all listeners for letting us get that
854
01:01:02.679 --> 01:01:07.400
off our chest. All right,
let's talk about the absolute banger that was
855
01:01:07.480 --> 01:01:13.719
the Allstar game. Theon. What
were your takeaways from the All Star Game?
856
01:01:14.719 --> 01:01:19.559
So I'm going to start with with
Steff Steph made live a believer yesterday
857
01:01:19.960 --> 01:01:22.760
and now that's her favorite player and
I'm really upset about that. But we're
858
01:01:22.800 --> 01:01:27.920
going to move on from that.
I even I was dichy have if she
859
01:01:28.000 --> 01:01:30.360
watched the All Star game. Huh. I mean, what choice did she
860
01:01:30.480 --> 01:01:34.719
have if she watched us there?
That's fair. This dude was literally shooting't
861
01:01:34.719 --> 01:01:38.119
from everywhere on the floor. It
was insane. I was like Shit,
862
01:01:38.320 --> 01:01:44.199
is he my favorite? I do
like what's really going on. So it's
863
01:01:44.280 --> 01:01:46.800
needless to say that step was incredible. I think it was one of the
864
01:01:46.880 --> 01:01:52.639
most competitive, if not the most
competitive, Allstar game I've personally ever watched.
865
01:01:52.719 --> 01:01:55.840
Besides the Kobe one and I just
love the new format. They go
866
01:01:57.039 --> 01:02:00.880
quarterbay quarter and they donate to tear
you whoever wins. I think that makes
867
01:02:00.920 --> 01:02:04.760
it more competitive. I think that
Elim ending it makes it more competitive.
868
01:02:04.760 --> 01:02:07.719
It was just all around, is
a great time. It was. It
869
01:02:07.840 --> 01:02:12.480
was as good it was. I
loved it. It's a sidebar for the
870
01:02:13.360 --> 01:02:16.119
for the halftime show, the which
was like two hours long, but the
871
01:02:16.239 --> 01:02:19.960
rest was amazing. Yeah, I
mean, I totally agree. The new
872
01:02:20.039 --> 01:02:23.320
format is just a huge W don't
get me wrong, I don't want to
873
01:02:23.320 --> 01:02:25.840
watch a regular game. When I
watched the All Star game, it's fun
874
01:02:25.920 --> 01:02:30.000
that you get three quarters of messing
around and lobs and half court threes and
875
01:02:30.760 --> 01:02:35.239
all kinds of stuff, but I
love that it's paired with the fourth quarter
876
01:02:35.360 --> 01:02:38.119
that is actually competitive, that you
actually see guys going at it, rebounding,
877
01:02:38.239 --> 01:02:42.840
playing defense, trying to back each
other down and stuff. That is
878
01:02:42.960 --> 01:02:45.639
just awesome. Yeah, to actually
watch them go at it for a quarter
879
01:02:45.719 --> 01:02:52.880
and actually try that, it's just
so cool. And Yeah, go ahead,
880
01:02:52.920 --> 01:02:57.239
yeah, now I was gonna say
it's the perfect mix mix between competition
881
01:02:57.440 --> 01:03:00.480
and fun. It was just perfect. Yeah, and obviously, like all
882
01:03:00.519 --> 01:03:05.119
of you guys, Steph curry isn't
God. Yeah, like everyone knows he's
883
01:03:05.159 --> 01:03:09.360
the best shooter in the League,
but it's surprising to me just how far
884
01:03:09.519 --> 01:03:14.079
in front of everyone else he is. Like he looks like he could just
885
01:03:14.159 --> 01:03:16.320
go out and score sixty points a
game if you wanted to. Yeah,
886
01:03:16.920 --> 01:03:22.559
they literally started double at it's not
like they weren't even Great Lady Guard and
887
01:03:22.679 --> 01:03:27.000
Half Court. Yeah, like,
if you ever seen a double team in
888
01:03:27.000 --> 01:03:30.239
the All Star game, because I
haven't seen one before. This man is
889
01:03:30.320 --> 01:03:37.960
killing other pros that badly. Just
just insane. And I love the halftime
890
01:03:37.079 --> 01:03:40.519
too. Yes, it was long. Yes, it was disrespectful to some
891
01:03:40.599 --> 01:03:45.639
of these NBA legends who are ninety
years old and had to stay entire out.
892
01:03:45.840 --> 01:03:50.280
Yet my man, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, can barely stand up. Get
893
01:03:50.360 --> 01:03:52.719
my man a chair if you're going
to make it that long. That is
894
01:03:52.840 --> 01:03:55.320
disri actually had a tear. He's
the only one that had a tear.
895
01:03:55.760 --> 01:04:00.039
Thank goodness. All right, I
can. I can sleep now, but
896
01:04:00.639 --> 01:04:02.639
I mean some of these guys,
Jerry West, Jerry West is a million
897
01:04:02.760 --> 01:04:06.199
years old. You're making him stand
up for you, like, let him
898
01:04:06.239 --> 01:04:10.840
out first. What are we doing? I I mean that that presentation was
899
01:04:10.920 --> 01:04:15.079
super cool. Super Cool having the
seventy five anniversary team there. That was
900
01:04:15.519 --> 01:04:23.480
awesome. That was so cool.
You did what we your takeaways a lot
901
01:04:23.559 --> 01:04:27.800
of what you guys are saying like
my exact thoughts. Obviously, Steph curry
902
01:04:27.880 --> 01:04:31.960
is a Cheeko. Not Fair at
all when you can have a Guy Goes
903
01:04:32.079 --> 01:04:35.079
Sixteen for twenty seven in a regular, I mean not a regulation game,
904
01:04:35.199 --> 01:04:41.039
but just hit six threes in an
NBA contest, like with defense on,
905
01:04:41.239 --> 01:04:44.679
I think it's insane. I think
another thing too, that's kind of under
906
01:04:44.719 --> 01:04:48.159
the radar is my man, Lebron
is now five and old, as captain
907
01:04:48.280 --> 01:04:54.039
of like the All sir. I
know people always like joke about the GM
908
01:04:54.159 --> 01:04:56.599
thing. If you give Lebron like
a pool of talent, actually, like
909
01:04:56.719 --> 01:05:00.320
let him choose his roster and not
have robab link and he might get some
910
01:05:00.480 --> 01:05:03.440
things done. But Um, I
thought his team like was really well put
911
01:05:03.559 --> 01:05:09.079
together, and my man Yan is
quietly was like playing for real, like
912
01:05:09.320 --> 01:05:15.920
trying to yeah, yeah, going
hard for a layout here, smacking out
913
01:05:15.960 --> 01:05:18.360
the gay. I was so sick
not to think this, not to do
914
01:05:18.480 --> 01:05:25.079
that, you know. And then
this new format, like we're all saying,
915
01:05:25.119 --> 01:05:28.079
like two years ago, Chris Paul
and the competition committee sad now with
916
01:05:28.159 --> 01:05:30.960
like Yo, we need to think
about making this more competitive, especially an
917
01:05:31.000 --> 01:05:35.000
honor and Kobe like his competitive fire. Let's think of some and this new
918
01:05:35.079 --> 01:05:40.400
format, like you guys are saying, is amazing because now I guys really
919
01:05:40.480 --> 01:05:43.239
do try like you, see you
all and be call it for the ball,
920
01:05:44.559 --> 01:05:46.400
trying to make it, you know, more interesting for his team.
921
01:05:46.960 --> 01:05:50.960
It puts the pro bowl in the
NFL to complete shame. I think it
922
01:05:51.119 --> 01:05:58.000
makes the NFL All Star weekend look
absolutely tragic and I think the whole part
923
01:05:58.079 --> 01:06:00.760
where they try to win the quarter, it's competitive throughout because, like when
924
01:06:00.800 --> 01:06:04.480
you win the quarter, you win
money for a charity for those kids and
925
01:06:04.599 --> 01:06:09.159
those kids which is really cool to
get to come sit at like at courtside
926
01:06:09.199 --> 01:06:12.480
and watch this all go down.
And I think that also because the players
927
01:06:12.519 --> 01:06:15.800
do really care about kids and giving
back to so that part adds another element
928
01:06:15.880 --> 01:06:19.639
to it. And then I thought
that the NBAS seventy five thing was really,
929
01:06:19.679 --> 01:06:24.400
really cool to see because I wasn't
alive when the last, you know,
930
01:06:24.639 --> 01:06:28.039
the greatest fifty players were came out. I wasn't alive to see that.
931
01:06:28.400 --> 01:06:30.599
So getting to see it it's time
around, having that collection of talent
932
01:06:30.679 --> 01:06:34.840
out there was pretty cool because you
could tell, like the NBA, for
933
01:06:35.000 --> 01:06:38.960
all the drama and all the bs
that kind of happens in between it,
934
01:06:39.159 --> 01:06:42.239
it really is a brotherhood and I
thought it was really cool to see a
935
01:06:42.280 --> 01:06:45.719
lot of guys embrace me should like. I know we have the Lebron MJ
936
01:06:45.880 --> 01:06:48.199
debate and it gets heated and everybody
has almost every other week, but those
937
01:06:48.280 --> 01:06:51.280
two were just embraced each other with
chall thought was really cool. So it
938
01:06:51.400 --> 01:06:55.960
was cool to have that collection,
like the five greatest players so much still
939
01:06:56.039 --> 01:06:59.039
here with US summer now, obviously, but to have that kind of talent
940
01:06:59.199 --> 01:07:01.519
and one gym like that's a lot
of bucket. That's a lot of greatness.
941
01:07:01.639 --> 01:07:05.039
So, besides the dunk contest,
I thought, you know, all
942
01:07:05.079 --> 01:07:10.639
star game, while start weekn was
phenomenal. One hundred yeah, I'm waiting
943
01:07:10.679 --> 01:07:15.960
for the NBA to release the patch
notes. First, Steph Curry, you
944
01:07:15.079 --> 01:07:20.800
know where they explain the nerve op
police nerve, his range. It's good,
945
01:07:20.880 --> 01:07:25.800
yeah, control, but yeah,
I'm with you. I mean,
946
01:07:25.880 --> 01:07:28.960
and how cool is it to see
Lebron hit the fade away in Cleveland to
947
01:07:29.039 --> 01:07:31.559
put in Cleveland. That was amazing. Your predictions gonna Happen, TC.
948
01:07:31.679 --> 01:07:34.199
I think I'm telling you. So
that was the most fun. That's the
949
01:07:34.280 --> 01:07:39.760
most time Lebron has smiles in space
champ. Like this season has been awful.
950
01:07:39.800 --> 01:07:42.519
Phill APROSS, how was the like? He's like, Oh my God,
951
01:07:42.639 --> 01:07:45.400
my point guard can actually shoot.
Now, this is different for me.
952
01:07:45.840 --> 01:07:51.760
Then he wakes up back to work
in Alle. He's like, yeah,
953
01:07:51.920 --> 01:07:57.079
that's happening. He's gonna Reality's going
to hit him hard. When they
954
01:07:57.239 --> 01:08:01.239
started the season by go on Thursday. Yeah, I mean that was just
955
01:08:01.360 --> 01:08:05.519
a huge de wi from the beginning. I mean my new favorite NBA tradition
956
01:08:05.880 --> 01:08:13.519
is to watch Lebron and Katie troll
each other during the All star draft.
957
01:08:13.679 --> 01:08:17.920
That's how awesome that was. Over
content. You know what, watching Katie
958
01:08:18.079 --> 01:08:21.279
have to smile against his will at's. You know some of the barbs that
959
01:08:21.479 --> 01:08:27.680
chuck. Theres this trouble Barsi you
can't help you can't. That's I mean
960
01:08:27.720 --> 01:08:30.359
it's hilarious. That's just a great
tradition. So just the All Star game
961
01:08:30.479 --> 01:08:33.840
with the new format, just from
beginning to end, it's just a huge
962
01:08:34.119 --> 01:08:39.640
w I'm just a huge fan of
it, one hundred percent. I mean
963
01:08:39.720 --> 01:08:42.640
that's just a Laite. Yeah,
I mean it like you're saying, like
964
01:08:42.760 --> 01:08:45.560
the MLB All Star game and the
pro bowl doesn't even come close to all
965
01:08:45.560 --> 01:08:49.720
star Weeka all star Wend is the
gold standard and the pro bowl is tried
966
01:08:50.359 --> 01:08:54.720
because they've seen the success of the
NBA. They're trying out new stuff to
967
01:08:54.880 --> 01:08:59.399
it. It's not really working.
Yeah, the one thing I would like
968
01:08:59.680 --> 01:09:02.199
change. I know they it was
in Cleveland everything, but they should have
969
01:09:02.199 --> 01:09:05.199
brought ano little bit more stars,
because there's usually like a lot of people
970
01:09:05.239 --> 01:09:10.960
sit in coorse side and I didn't
see no big big names other than spike
971
01:09:11.079 --> 01:09:15.439
the maybe us. Well, to
be fair, a lot most of like
972
01:09:15.560 --> 01:09:19.560
this seventy five team also had like
court side seats or are no damn near
973
01:09:19.640 --> 01:09:23.319
to. So a lot of those
seats went to those guys, and that's
974
01:09:23.399 --> 01:09:27.920
right. You know their families and
stuff. So there was a decent amount.
975
01:09:27.920 --> 01:09:30.960
I mean we give a good hustle. Words Michigun Kelly. What was
976
01:09:30.039 --> 01:09:32.840
machine Cun Kelly doing at the start
of the All Star game? He came
977
01:09:32.920 --> 01:09:38.600
out on maybe what's up? Cleveland
makes a noise and he was just gone
978
01:09:38.800 --> 01:09:42.319
like I think he's. He's any
from Cleveland. Yeah, still, what
979
01:09:42.359 --> 01:09:45.239
are you doing here? You came
here to say like three lines, make
980
01:09:45.359 --> 01:09:48.039
some northern you get court side seats
to that. I'll do that. Come
981
01:09:48.119 --> 01:09:53.239
on, that's all you got to
do to get court side seats. Let
982
01:09:53.319 --> 01:09:59.399
me do it. Yeah, seriously, that's fair. Yeah, I mean,
983
01:10:00.239 --> 01:10:04.880
yeah, huge W I'll star weekend, with one small part excepted from
984
01:10:04.960 --> 01:10:14.359
them. All right, huge wall
star weekend. Speaking of W's, let's
985
01:10:14.399 --> 01:10:17.880
talk about the Celtics Real quick,
shall We, before a minor setback against
986
01:10:17.920 --> 01:10:25.319
the Detroit Pistons. Celtics nine in
a row. Cove coming into the break,
987
01:10:25.479 --> 01:10:28.640
is one of the hottest teams in
basketball, and that's why I can't
988
01:10:28.680 --> 01:10:31.840
get this smile off of my face. It's so j what's been feeling the
989
01:10:31.880 --> 01:10:36.000
Celtic success? Why are they back
from the dead? So combination of a
990
01:10:36.079 --> 01:10:41.840
few things. Um, since I
think mid Jay were they've had like the
991
01:10:41.960 --> 01:10:45.039
highest defensive rating outside of the Dallas
Mavericks, which have been to of the
992
01:10:45.079 --> 01:10:50.039
best defensive teams in two thousand and
twenty two. Also, like Jason Tatum
993
01:10:50.079 --> 01:10:56.119
and Jalen Brown, are not as
aggressive for shots as they usually are.
994
01:10:56.159 --> 01:10:58.840
They they're moving the ball, except
and double teams. They're playing as a
995
01:10:58.920 --> 01:11:02.479
team and the trade of Derek White, getting him as a guy can switch
996
01:11:02.520 --> 01:11:05.760
out on defense, really helped them
a lot and I feel like it may
997
01:11:05.800 --> 01:11:11.880
you donkers finally getting the guys to
listening buying his system. So that's been
998
01:11:11.920 --> 01:11:15.079
really working for them. Another thing
is, though, like they've had a
999
01:11:15.279 --> 01:11:18.039
very easy schedule. Amos was wearing
streaked and you got to beat who's in
1000
01:11:18.119 --> 01:11:21.319
front of you. Obviously like not
say, you know, that doesn't matter,
1001
01:11:21.720 --> 01:11:26.119
but they play like some pretty weak
teams in the midst O it.
1002
01:11:26.199 --> 01:11:28.960
But you got to understand they taking
care of business, so that's all that
1003
01:11:29.079 --> 01:11:32.199
matters. But they are playing better
basketball and building better habits, but they've
1004
01:11:32.239 --> 01:11:35.680
also had like a very easy schedule
up until this point where they've been build
1005
01:11:35.720 --> 01:11:41.199
a momentum. That's exactly what my
point was going to be. They're beating
1006
01:11:41.279 --> 01:11:44.520
whoever's in front of them. I
don't get me wrong, and I think
1007
01:11:44.920 --> 01:11:48.000
the fact that I feel I haven't
watched all the games. I watched a
1008
01:11:48.079 --> 01:11:53.079
couple during their streak and I feel
like Jason Tatum is taking more of a
1009
01:11:53.199 --> 01:11:57.279
leadership roll and I think Dan brought
his kind of deferring to that. I
1010
01:11:57.399 --> 01:12:00.880
think that's helping. However, this
because Chile, like was super easy.
1011
01:12:01.439 --> 01:12:03.920
They they're beating whereverers in front and
they beat the heat. They'd beat the
1012
01:12:04.000 --> 01:12:09.640
Sixers, but we talking about winning
against the Pistons, the magic, the
1013
01:12:09.840 --> 01:12:13.079
nets when they were losing their ten
games in a row, the Pelicans,
1014
01:12:13.159 --> 01:12:16.479
is, the Kings, the wizards
like this, though, these are not
1015
01:12:16.680 --> 01:12:20.199
teams that are competing for anything.
They're not. They're barely in the playing
1016
01:12:20.239 --> 01:12:26.920
games for some of them. so
that also helped spark their little run that
1017
01:12:27.000 --> 01:12:29.960
they had. It'll be interesting to
see if they can keep it up,
1018
01:12:30.039 --> 01:12:33.000
because now they they got to be
playing the grizzlies, the net's going to
1019
01:12:33.079 --> 01:12:36.600
have somebody bag. They're gonna play
the mavs, the warriors, the Jazz,
1020
01:12:36.960 --> 01:12:42.000
but they've been on the run.
They're definitely, if not the hottest,
1021
01:12:42.039 --> 01:12:45.520
one of the hottest teams in the
league, and rightfully so. They
1022
01:12:45.560 --> 01:12:48.079
playing out of their minds and Bovada
is recognizing that. There they have the
1023
01:12:48.359 --> 01:12:53.000
ninth best odds to win in the
championship right now, and that's saying a
1024
01:12:53.039 --> 01:12:57.119
lot. The by looking at the
way they started the season, because it
1025
01:12:57.399 --> 01:13:00.000
was. It was pretty bad.
They were ten to eleven place in the
1026
01:13:00.119 --> 01:13:03.560
east and now there are four games
back from the top. So it'll be
1027
01:13:03.680 --> 01:13:09.680
interesting to see how they met up
against the better teams and how they finished
1028
01:13:09.720 --> 01:13:14.159
up the regular season, because they
got some they got some tough teams coming
1029
01:13:14.239 --> 01:13:17.600
up. Also, I didn't realize
how little games are left. I feel
1030
01:13:17.640 --> 01:13:21.640
like there's like twenty games that there's
two, possibly for five. HMM.
1031
01:13:23.279 --> 01:13:28.039
Yeah, not a lot of basketball
to people for the playoffs. So yeah,
1032
01:13:28.119 --> 01:13:30.119
I completely agree with you guys.
To me this feels like a team
1033
01:13:30.199 --> 01:13:33.640
that has finally bought it. I
don't know why it took as long as
1034
01:13:33.680 --> 01:13:38.520
it did, but this is a
team that is finally bought into their head
1035
01:13:38.560 --> 01:13:42.359
coach and is willing to defer to
each other in order to win games.
1036
01:13:43.279 --> 01:13:46.319
And I like me to said,
I love the moves that they made,
1037
01:13:46.640 --> 01:13:53.199
getting rid of players who either weren't
helping the team attitude, like Dennis Schroeder,
1038
01:13:54.640 --> 01:13:57.760
and then bring also bringing in guys
who helped them play the type of
1039
01:13:57.800 --> 01:14:01.399
basketball that they want to play,
guys like Derek White and Daniel ties,
1040
01:14:02.119 --> 01:14:06.840
guys who are on selfish and move
the ball, and so I think their
1041
01:14:06.880 --> 01:14:11.239
prey. I think give on me
Doka a lot of credit. He's pressing
1042
01:14:11.279 --> 01:14:14.640
the right buttons. He's gotten the
team to buy in. You're seeing the
1043
01:14:14.720 --> 01:14:17.479
results, and also you got to
give a huge amount of credit to Jason
1044
01:14:17.520 --> 01:14:23.600
Tatum and Jalen Brown for working out
the issue themselves. We had an issue,
1045
01:14:23.880 --> 01:14:28.199
offensive stagnant. Because of US they're
moving the ball. Jalen Brown is
1046
01:14:28.279 --> 01:14:31.560
deferring to Jason Tatum and letting him
be the star and you're seeing the results
1047
01:14:31.600 --> 01:14:35.800
of that. So then, with
that being said, is this is their
1048
01:14:35.880 --> 01:14:42.760
success shortlived and the result of an
easy schedule, or do you expect the
1049
01:14:42.880 --> 01:14:45.840
Celtics to be able to compete for
the rest of the season in the playoffs?
1050
01:14:45.880 --> 01:14:50.720
Would you think, beyond giving that
their success as cut came does the
1051
01:14:50.880 --> 01:14:58.560
past couple weeks before the ALLSAR game, and the bad parts was we're way
1052
01:14:58.680 --> 01:15:02.880
longer than what there's a cesses.
I don't. I don't see them keeping
1053
01:15:02.960 --> 01:15:06.199
the street going. I think they're
going to be in the playing games at
1054
01:15:06.239 --> 01:15:10.520
the end of the day and it's
all about matchups. We'll see who they
1055
01:15:10.560 --> 01:15:13.159
get in the first round of the
playoffs. If they make it through the
1056
01:15:13.239 --> 01:15:16.960
playing games, you Jay expect them
to keep it going. If they keep
1057
01:15:17.039 --> 01:15:20.920
building these habits they have over the
past month or two months or so,
1058
01:15:21.079 --> 01:15:24.800
like moving the ball, playing defense, I think they could keep it up.
1059
01:15:25.119 --> 01:15:29.159
But it's also hard to gage when
they haven't been playing quality competition.
1060
01:15:29.520 --> 01:15:32.359
So this next stretch of games at
which D I mentioned earlier, when they
1061
01:15:32.399 --> 01:15:35.560
play quality team at buff five hundred, if they continue to play the same
1062
01:15:35.680 --> 01:15:39.920
kind of basketball, I think they
can. Well, I think it all
1063
01:15:39.960 --> 01:15:44.520
depends on like if they will continue
to buy in and continue to build like
1064
01:15:44.840 --> 01:15:47.039
the things that they've been doing the
past couple months. So I think it
1065
01:15:47.199 --> 01:15:50.560
good swing either way, because that's
just the kind of team Boston is.
1066
01:15:51.079 --> 01:15:56.239
Could be anybody to lose to air
anybody as well. Exactly they really they're
1067
01:15:56.279 --> 01:16:00.560
really inconsistent and we want to have
to see how for how long did lean
1068
01:16:00.640 --> 01:16:03.079
Brown can defer, because he hasn't
done it before this past stretch of games
1069
01:16:03.840 --> 01:16:08.800
and the one game where he took
control they lost and that was against the
1070
01:16:08.840 --> 01:16:14.279
business. So we don't have to
see how much she can keep being the
1071
01:16:15.000 --> 01:16:17.920
you know, the said the second
option on the team, because we kind
1072
01:16:17.960 --> 01:16:21.039
of saw during the beginning of the
season that they weren't that. We were.
1073
01:16:21.119 --> 01:16:26.600
We we ask the question whether they
could coexist or not. This past
1074
01:16:26.680 --> 01:16:31.119
couple of games showed that they can. But Will Javon Brown want to for
1075
01:16:32.520 --> 01:16:35.560
that much longer? You know,
with is we don't have to see.
1076
01:16:36.439 --> 01:16:40.520
I mean that's a fair question.
I think that's more of a long term
1077
01:16:40.640 --> 01:16:43.760
concern than a short yeah, for
sure, but for sure, my own
1078
01:16:43.800 --> 01:16:47.800
bias admitted, I do expect them
to continue to compete and to compete in
1079
01:16:47.880 --> 01:16:51.319
the playoffs. I don't know about
a deep run, but I expect them
1080
01:16:51.359 --> 01:16:56.119
to be competitive in the playoffs a
because they've been playing a lot better.
1081
01:16:56.760 --> 01:17:00.720
But be the top of the East
feels a lot more vulnerable than it did
1082
01:17:00.840 --> 01:17:03.560
about twenty games ago. Then that's
have been an absolute mess and shipped off
1083
01:17:03.640 --> 01:17:09.720
James Harden with the sixers. We
don't know how well hardened and em beat
1084
01:17:09.760 --> 01:17:12.479
are going to coexist. It could
be really good, you know, it
1085
01:17:12.520 --> 01:17:16.199
could be a mess. The bowls, if Demarta rose and isn't dropping forty,
1086
01:17:16.760 --> 01:17:20.600
have been really inconsistent. The heat
have been really good, but they've
1087
01:17:20.600 --> 01:17:25.239
struggled with health and so because of
all of that, I think the Celtics
1088
01:17:25.279 --> 01:17:30.319
could put themselves into that mix and
what felt like a really top heavy eastern
1089
01:17:30.439 --> 01:17:34.039
conference and about January and the month
of February is flipped and it feels a
1090
01:17:34.119 --> 01:17:39.039
lot more balanced from top to bottom
and it feels like just about any team
1091
01:17:39.119 --> 01:17:42.520
in the east could make a run. And the Celtics are peeking at the
1092
01:17:42.640 --> 01:17:45.680
right time and they definitely have the
talent to be competing. They should have
1093
01:17:45.720 --> 01:17:49.880
been competing this whole time, and
people forget that. They also have the
1094
01:17:50.000 --> 01:17:56.159
experience. They've been on deep playoff
runs before, so they should know what
1095
01:17:56.319 --> 01:18:00.720
good basketball looks like and how to
actually compete in the playoffs. That's that's
1096
01:18:00.800 --> 01:18:02.720
that's true. That's true. There
there's also one other cause of concern,
1097
01:18:02.800 --> 01:18:06.000
though, for the Celtics that I
just realize is that they don't have a
1098
01:18:06.119 --> 01:18:10.520
men's now, because they gave away
like twenty players. Yeah, like they
1099
01:18:10.800 --> 01:18:14.119
can. They sustained this for the
whole season, playing eight players every night,
1100
01:18:14.359 --> 01:18:17.520
because they only played eight players the
last five games. So it's got
1101
01:18:17.760 --> 01:18:19.520
is going to be. It's going
to be rough if they gonna have to
1102
01:18:19.560 --> 01:18:23.319
do this every night, because I
don't know how much you can ride those
1103
01:18:23.359 --> 01:18:27.720
two starters and then write them into
playoffs too. And I don't really sustainable.
1104
01:18:28.399 --> 01:18:31.039
That's a really good point. Beyond
I mean, Brad Steven Shit everybody
1105
01:18:31.119 --> 01:18:34.920
off at the deadline, and I
don't read every fucking body, I mean
1106
01:18:35.039 --> 01:18:38.399
it. Don't get me wrong,
I don't miss a single player. He
1107
01:18:38.479 --> 01:18:42.359
shift it off. I mean,
I don't blame I don't miss a single
1108
01:18:42.439 --> 01:18:45.159
one of them, especially you in
this freedom. I don't miss you for
1109
01:18:45.279 --> 01:18:51.560
one second. Let's I mean that
Brad Stevens is rolling the dice. Yeah,
1110
01:18:51.720 --> 01:18:56.319
if the Celtics stay healthy, they
have all of the right guys now.
1111
01:18:56.600 --> 01:18:59.479
They have the right guys in the
locker room, they have all the
1112
01:18:59.600 --> 01:19:02.840
right guys on the floor. The
rotations are solid. But Dan brings up
1113
01:19:02.840 --> 01:19:05.720
a good point of if there's injuries, the wheels are going to come off
1114
01:19:05.920 --> 01:19:11.920
because the team does not have depth
right now. HMM, so we are
1115
01:19:12.039 --> 01:19:16.680
rolling the dice, but I don't
think the depth was actually hurting us in
1116
01:19:16.760 --> 01:19:21.199
a lot of ways before the deadline. And I mean we can point fingers
1117
01:19:21.239 --> 01:19:25.960
of WHO's bringing these guys in to
begin with and handing out these contracts that,
1118
01:19:26.199 --> 01:19:28.920
you know, we had needed to
spend draft picks to get rid of,
1119
01:19:30.079 --> 01:19:33.119
but I'm just happy that all of
the right people are in place now.
1120
01:19:33.520 --> 01:19:39.920
I once went to this like leadership
lecture thing where and they gave this
1121
01:19:40.000 --> 01:19:43.560
piece of advice that stuck with me
at the first step to having a successful
1122
01:19:43.640 --> 01:19:47.560
organization is to get all the right
people on the bus. Second step is
1123
01:19:47.560 --> 01:19:51.399
to get all the wrong people off
the bus, and so right now it
1124
01:19:51.439 --> 01:19:55.119
feels like the Celtics have done that. They have the right people on the
1125
01:19:55.159 --> 01:19:59.159
bus, but that's not as many
people as I would have liked. So
1126
01:20:00.000 --> 01:20:01.880
I'm with you on that. Yeah, yeah, that makes sense, because
1127
01:20:01.920 --> 01:20:08.399
I right now your eighth and ninth
or your nine and ten are Sam Houser
1128
01:20:08.439 --> 01:20:13.239
in Luke Carnet. That's bad.
So they're going to hat. They going
1129
01:20:13.279 --> 01:20:17.800
to have to give something in the
Bayou market somebody. They lost the ship
1130
01:20:17.960 --> 01:20:21.079
on Gordon druggets. That could have
been a decent back up. I know
1131
01:20:21.159 --> 01:20:24.159
you hate them. I know you
hate them, I hate them. I
1132
01:20:24.199 --> 01:20:26.760
don't want to go on druggach.
I know you hate them, but it
1133
01:20:26.800 --> 01:20:29.720
would help. Or just go for
the nets got. I feel like Gary
1134
01:20:29.720 --> 01:20:33.119
Harris could be very valuable for you
guys. Yeah, no question, because
1135
01:20:33.119 --> 01:20:36.119
I know you know you got traded. So yeah, I mean we're going
1136
01:20:36.159 --> 01:20:41.840
to have to bring some people in, but there's worse things. I've seen
1137
01:20:41.880 --> 01:20:45.039
it this season. So there,
DJ and they for final thoughts on the
1138
01:20:45.079 --> 01:20:48.800
Celtics. Oh No, no,
you guys cover it. I just I
1139
01:20:48.920 --> 01:20:54.119
think they still have some room for
improving. But I just feel like little
1140
01:20:54.199 --> 01:20:59.239
Milwaukee, Philly, Brooklyn, a
healthy Chicago, Miami are all at the
1141
01:20:59.439 --> 01:21:02.520
top and if you throw Boston there, it could is really anybody's conference out
1142
01:21:02.560 --> 01:21:05.399
pill like right now, just because
you don't know. So any movement pieces.
1143
01:21:06.920 --> 01:21:10.600
So yeah, it remains me seeing
what they can do, though,
1144
01:21:10.680 --> 01:21:13.920
but, like Da said, if
they add some depth, we could be
1145
01:21:14.000 --> 01:21:16.640
talking about Boston back in the conference
finals and making a real push. Oh
1146
01:21:16.760 --> 01:21:20.319
yeah, they have all the pieces. Yeah, yeah, I'm glad they're
1147
01:21:20.359 --> 01:21:25.000
finally putting it together. It's only
been a season and a half. All
1148
01:21:25.079 --> 01:21:29.279
right, let's focus on the positive. They are playing really well right now.
1149
01:21:29.760 --> 01:21:31.760
Yeah, so, all right,
let's get to our five games of
1150
01:21:31.800 --> 01:21:36.159
the week. Let's go. I
went for in one last week. Shout
1151
01:21:36.199 --> 01:21:41.640
out to Vada for helping me out
to get me back on track. But
1152
01:21:41.760 --> 01:21:45.800
the five games to the week.
So I am now thirty six and twenty
1153
01:21:45.880 --> 01:21:47.760
three. All right, it's a
deal. What are you? I am
1154
01:21:48.319 --> 01:21:57.079
thirty eight and twenty two. Right
there, you Jan thirty nine and twenty
1155
01:21:57.159 --> 01:22:00.640
one. We're all there. Were
all there, there, we're all right,
1156
01:22:00.720 --> 01:22:04.560
there, all right, better records
in the Lakers. All right,
1157
01:22:06.159 --> 01:22:10.840
number one. Unfortunately, we have
to wave like bad. The only downside
1158
01:22:10.880 --> 01:22:13.800
of the All star breaks we have
to wait UN till Thursday for games.
1159
01:22:14.239 --> 01:22:16.880
Yeah, that's kind of a car
but what's the probablem Escobar me, you's
1160
01:22:16.920 --> 01:22:23.000
just like sitting there, just waiting. Yep, in, nope, yeah,
1161
01:22:23.119 --> 01:22:25.920
yeah, you know, nothing.
No, nothing. I mean I
1162
01:22:26.000 --> 01:22:30.119
might just tuned in to thespn just
to see what they are, the so
1163
01:22:30.239 --> 01:22:32.119
called these games. Yeah, and
the Olympics, and right at the All
1164
01:22:32.159 --> 01:22:36.000
star break too. So what's good
with that? No Olympics either. Bummer.
1165
01:22:38.159 --> 01:22:43.439
We got nothing until Thursday. But
game number one on Thursday. Celtics
1166
01:22:43.600 --> 01:22:47.319
at the nets. Beyond Body like
you know who I like? You know,
1167
01:22:47.520 --> 01:22:51.800
I like TC. I'M gonna go
wait their Celtics at the nets.
1168
01:22:53.399 --> 01:22:58.560
Yeah, so some mendas maybe in
play. I'll still go with the nets
1169
01:22:59.399 --> 01:23:01.560
I have. I I think Ben
Simmons is actually going to play. So
1170
01:23:01.720 --> 01:23:06.399
hope, hopefully, we'll see some
shot. We'll see some no shaddy plays
1171
01:23:06.439 --> 01:23:11.680
on Thursday. I don't even have
to like make a dramatic anymore. The
1172
01:23:11.720 --> 01:23:15.079
Celtics are not a horrible pick and
so I don't have to dramatically pick them
1173
01:23:15.159 --> 01:23:18.319
against all odds. So I'm just
taking the Celtics. I don't think Katie's
1174
01:23:18.319 --> 01:23:21.439
going to be back. No,
and so no, O Katie, no
1175
01:23:21.640 --> 01:23:27.800
Kyrie. I doubt Ben Simmons will
be back. So I like the Celtics
1176
01:23:27.880 --> 01:23:32.479
as a result. Dja, I'm
a road is sound sets to just because
1177
01:23:32.479 --> 01:23:36.399
it's at Brooklyn and I think they
beat them by like thirty five two weeks
1178
01:23:36.439 --> 01:23:41.039
ago and this just happened. So
I think it might be the same same
1179
01:23:41.159 --> 01:23:44.000
movie, same result, I can
hope. Right. All Right, game
1180
01:23:44.079 --> 01:23:48.640
number two, hawks at the Bulls. I like the bolls tomorrow. To
1181
01:23:48.800 --> 01:23:53.960
Rosin is playing like a bull.
He's a fire right now, just running
1182
01:23:54.000 --> 01:23:57.600
people over right now. He cannot
miss. So I mean it's hard to
1183
01:23:57.600 --> 01:24:00.840
pick against the Bulls. So I'm
taking a bull. You Do? Yeah,
1184
01:24:00.960 --> 01:24:04.880
I'm rolling with the Bulls to all
of our me and de Mars on
1185
01:24:05.079 --> 01:24:08.720
fire and Levine is healthy. I
think like there was a little bit of
1186
01:24:08.720 --> 01:24:12.119
any scare but I think he's actually
good to go. So rolling with the
1187
01:24:12.159 --> 01:24:15.680
Bulls. Yeah, I'm taking the
Bulls to the mare. You guys said
1188
01:24:15.720 --> 01:24:18.560
it. LEVINA is back. He
played at the Allstar game, so I
1189
01:24:18.680 --> 01:24:23.199
don't see why you wouldn't play this
game. And the Hawks are without John
1190
01:24:23.239 --> 01:24:29.039
Collins. So definitely bulls is as
Lonso back yet? No, no,
1191
01:24:29.920 --> 01:24:32.840
probably like another month and Caruso,
both of them. So all right.
1192
01:24:33.359 --> 01:24:43.760
Number three, mavericks at the Jazz
Job. Let's go thanking about I didn't
1193
01:24:43.800 --> 01:24:49.920
ask you. I don't care.
Davity, like I'm a roll with the
1194
01:24:50.039 --> 01:24:55.079
Mavericks because I don't know if donal
and Mitchell will play, and I'm questioning
1195
01:24:55.159 --> 01:24:58.680
that. He lay missed Allstar giving
a respiratory of this. So I'm going
1196
01:24:58.720 --> 01:25:02.079
with the maths. Interesting. I'm
going to take the jazz because there are
1197
01:25:02.159 --> 01:25:06.800
far superior team to the Mavericks and
as Far Superior Organization. What there one
1198
01:25:06.920 --> 01:25:11.359
game away from each other. What
are you talking about? Have you seen
1199
01:25:11.399 --> 01:25:14.880
how luke has been playing? Calm
down, it's a joke. Chill,
1200
01:25:15.680 --> 01:25:18.520
Hey, hey, it's your body. You you get dependsive with your cell
1201
01:25:18.600 --> 01:25:28.279
things. I evericks. Okay,
number four, six stars at the Timber
1202
01:25:28.359 --> 01:25:33.239
Wolves the honor. They like.
This one is gonna this cluelest to me
1203
01:25:33.640 --> 01:25:36.439
I was a hard game. It's
a hard game. I don't know what
1204
01:25:36.560 --> 01:25:42.520
Bravada has them at, but I'm
taking the sixers because I'm hoping that James
1205
01:25:42.560 --> 01:25:45.520
Harden was going to play. I
think there might be some growing pains the
1206
01:25:45.720 --> 01:25:49.159
Champs Harden on the floor and I
just really like the timber wolves. I'm
1207
01:25:49.159 --> 01:25:53.800
picking the t wolves here. Yeah, I'm a road to sixers just because
1208
01:25:53.840 --> 01:25:57.319
when I saw him do to my
bucks last week. So yeah, I
1209
01:25:57.439 --> 01:26:00.000
think Joel and beat is on a
mission right now and Conthley towns is the
1210
01:26:00.079 --> 01:26:04.920
next stop. So rolling with the
sixers at me definitely gets up for cat.
1211
01:26:05.199 --> 01:26:11.159
So Hmm. All right again,
number five nets at the aforementioned bucks
1212
01:26:11.319 --> 01:26:15.520
on Saturday. That's Saturday. That's
sad. I got sorry, we pop
1213
01:26:16.039 --> 01:26:20.079
now some more Thurtday. There's the
Grizzlies Bulls game to on Saturdays is oh
1214
01:26:20.239 --> 01:26:26.520
my goodness, we should use that
game. HMM. Don't you dare question
1215
01:26:26.640 --> 01:26:29.560
the five games of the week again. You're right, these Jady like,
1216
01:26:30.239 --> 01:26:32.399
Oh, give me a bucks,
give me, give me two bucks here.
1217
01:26:33.399 --> 01:26:38.079
I think they'll get rolling and I
feel bad for the nets because I
1218
01:26:38.199 --> 01:26:40.960
just think the nets are going to
have some trouble the next couple weeks without
1219
01:26:41.039 --> 01:26:44.520
Katie. Yeah, I'm taking the
bucks. Yanis is probably going to drop
1220
01:26:44.680 --> 01:26:48.399
fifty, so I'm taking the bucks. Yeah, I like the bucks by
1221
01:26:48.399 --> 01:26:54.479
a million. HMM. All right, let's go out of bounds really quick
1222
01:26:55.560 --> 01:27:00.800
cover our non basketball related topic,
and the reason I pick this topic is
1223
01:27:00.840 --> 01:27:04.720
I saw that my childhood was canceled
this past week. You guys ever watch
1224
01:27:04.920 --> 01:27:09.960
Arthur here? Then they come to
the twenty five or twenty three diversary or
1225
01:27:10.000 --> 01:27:15.159
something like. Yeah, their elisius. So they're still playing the the reruns,
1226
01:27:15.279 --> 01:27:18.279
but there's no new episodes of Arthur. After like twenty five years.
1227
01:27:19.520 --> 01:27:24.960
Arthur has like a gotee and a
beard now, like we so a great
1228
01:27:25.000 --> 01:27:29.560
drums like that. Arthur was my
childhood. So well, let's talk about
1229
01:27:29.560 --> 01:27:34.319
our favorite shows when we were kids. And this is another one of those
1230
01:27:34.399 --> 01:27:39.520
questions, just like the serial one. I feel like your favorite shows when
1231
01:27:39.520 --> 01:27:41.920

I need to know about you as a
1232
01:27:42.000 --> 01:27:45.960

1233
01:27:45.159 --> 01:27:47.479

me set the scene here. Yeah,
1234
01:27:47.520 --> 01:27:50.319
I'll see. Yeah, what's the
limit? That's the real question. I
1235
01:27:50.439 --> 01:27:55.239
mean, I don't know ten,
but let me set the scene here,
1236
01:27:56.119 --> 01:28:00.720
Bj you're ten years old. Life

pour yourself a bowl of cereal, which
1239
01:28:11.560 --> 01:28:15.079
I now know is cinnamon tolls crunch, which I totally respect. Where you

a lot of TV going up in
Italy and there and all, but I

cartoon network at all of that, and
1253
01:29:27.479 --> 01:29:30.520
so about this is really long,
but I'm just going to keep it short.
