Transcript
- 0:00They lose their strong closure. That's in a bad spot right now.
- 0:09I've never seen a Ranger team quick before the Olympics.
- 0:12We're going to be looking at Aaron Judge and saying that he
- 0:14can't win the big game, Michael Jordan said.
- 0:17I played 82 games. You don't see Levon doing that,
- 0:20but Jack Hughes did after getting his teeth knocked down
- 0:23to play every single shift he got back in the game.
- 0:30Let's say the question hold me, hold me back.
- 0:32They're gonna RIP me off. Take it down.
- 0:33This kid might go on the black best defense.
- 0:36And I'm talking to myself at night because I can't hold it
- 0:42back and forth through my mind behind the cigarette.

- 2:20out every single week. I cracked my front tooth a
- 2:24couple of weeks ago. I told you this we me and quit
- 2:28me and Q were talking and he wished me a happy birthday today
- 2:31again and we were speaking about everything that's going on in
- 2:33the back end. And he asked me what did I do
- 2:35today? And I said I went to the
- 2:37dentist. So I am going to I'm probably
- 2:39going to bite down on my tongue because I got like fake teeth
- 2:42right now. It's like replacement teeth.
- 2:45They they didn't cement it in, but they glued it in.
- 2:48I'm waiting for my new teeth. So anyways, quick story is I
- 2:51cracked my tooth. I cracked my left tooth.
- 2:54So I went to my dentist and I said, what am I going to do?
- 2:57She said we can bridge it. We could do all different
- 3:00things. And I said, I don't want to
- 3:01bridge it, I don't want to do this.
- 3:03So she said, well, we can cap it.
- 3:05And I said, what does that? What does that persist?
- 3:08And what does that present to me on how I do that?
- 3:10And she's like, you never had a cap.
- 3:12I said I had a cap, but I haven't had a cap in a while.
- 3:14So she told me we got to go. We got to reach out to the
- 3:19insurance company. We're going to ask the insurance
- 3:20company if they're going to accept 2 caps in your front
- 3:25teeth because if you're going to replace 1, you got to replace
- 3:27the other. Well, they accepted it.
- 3:31So I went the day after my birthday to the dentist, scared
- 3:35as hell because this isn't your back tooth.
- 3:38This isn't 3 teeth away from your front tooth.
- 3:41These are your two front teeth. Think about it.
- 3:44And if something goes wrong, I mean, I'm screwed.
- 3:50I'm screwed, ladies and gentlemen.
- 3:51So she started shaving it down and then after she shaved it
- 3:54down enough, I asked her to give me a mirror.
- 3:56I want to see him. Guys, if you ever got your teeth
- 3:59shaved before you look like a crack baby.
- 4:02Has anybody who looked at have you ever seen anybody on drugs
- 4:06with when they look at their teeth and how rotted they out or
- 4:09how rotted they are or how cracked they are?
- 4:12That's what it looked like. So I I've always had nice teeth.
- 4:16I've never had bad teeth. So it's something I never
- 4:19experienced before. It was really sickening to me.
- 4:22And then they, they put like replacements like I guess it to
- 4:27me it's temper. What do they call it?
- 4:29I don't remember what they call. It bad people teeth, no?
- 4:32No, no, no, they put these teeth in for for a few weeks until I
- 4:35get my real teeth. So nevertheless, I, I was very
- 4:40upset today and now I'm trying to speak.
- 4:42So I'm trying to get used to these teeth in my mouth because
- 4:47they're longer than usual. So you wanted me to show him on
- 4:51live radio. What they let's go.
- 4:52I'm not doing it right now. Maybe later, maybe, maybe later.
- 4:57Look, look, look, look at these things, look at these munchers.
- 5:02I, I, I'm, I'm telling you, it's hard to speak.
- 5:04So I'm, I'm going to get, I'm going to get through the show
- 5:06tonight. But it's really, I'm biting on
- 5:08my tongue and, and she said you're these aren't your real
- 5:11teeth. So just relax.
- 5:13And I said, I'm doing a radio show and it feels like something
- 5:16is clogging the front of my mouth.
- 5:18So I'm like holding my tongue back when I'm speaking.
- 5:21It's not easy guys. It's not easy.
- 5:23So I've had a really rough day and I, I, I got a chance to go
- 5:27to the mall, check out some new hats.
- 5:29Yeah, I didn't buy any new hats, by the way.
- 5:31So for all the fans out there, I, I didn't add to the 450
- 5:36Yankee hats I probably have. So I, I stayed away from it.
- 5:39Ladies and gentlemen, I was very cool and collective when it came
- 5:43to buying hats anyway. Got a new hat too, by the way.
- 5:46I'm sorry, check into it. The Mets got a new hat.
- 5:48I'm not buying no Mets hat. I don't wear Mets hats.
- 5:52I don't wear Mets hats. So here's the facts if anybody
- 5:55knows what I like. I only wear my favorite teams
- 5:58hat. So I buy all the Yankee hats,
- 6:00all the different colors. It doesn't matter.
- 6:02It could be it could be purple, light green, lime.
- 6:05I buy all the color hats and now they have collectible items
- 6:09because they have like the the anniversary hats and all that
- 6:12other stuff. So I get all of them.
- 6:13I have every single one they've ever made.
- 6:16I'm serious. You come to my house, I probably
- 6:17have some of them from 10 years ago, 15 years ago.
- 6:20I collect hats. I collect Islander hats.
- 6:23I collect jet hats, eagle hats, because everybody knows I do
- 6:27root for the eagles. I do.
- 6:31There's there any team that I root for, I wear their hats.
- 6:34Now jerseys are different. If I like the jerseys, I get my
- 6:37name on the back of it. I'm not wearing any player's
- 6:41name on on the back. Now there are certain jerseys
- 6:44that I do buy of my teams, like a Mattingly.
- 6:47I love down Mattingly. So I bought a Donnie Baseball
- 6:50jersey, Yogi Berra. I love Yogi Berra.
- 6:52I bought a Yogi Berra jersey. There are certain players I
- 6:55would buy with their names on the back of it, but usually I
- 6:59put my name on the back of it. So it's 34.
- 7:01It says loudmouth on the back of it.
- 7:03I do like this Minnesota. Yeah, this Minnesota
- 7:06Timberwolves third jersey. It's beautiful.
- 7:09It's beautiful. I I have to say that they're
- 7:11still in the playoffs. Might not be very soon, but hey,
- 7:15it's still nice. And I'm wearing a nice Yankees
- 7:17hat, so I like to look the color look the type on this radio
- 7:21show. So I hope everybody enjoys the
- 7:24way I look. Except don't look at my teeth
- 7:26tonight. All right?
- 7:27That's all I'm going to say. Let's get into the round table
- 7:30we got to get to the rest of these series.
- 7:32Let's start with the one that's been perhaps the most
- 7:34interesting. We saw the injuries to Ant and D
- 7:38Vincenzo completely changing the complexion of this series.
- 7:42The Nuggets take Game 5 as predicted.
- 7:45Without those two guys. Can the Wolves take one of these
- 7:49last two games, Errol? And even if they do and make it
- 7:51to the next round, can they even go anywhere without Anthony
- 7:55Edwards coming back at full strength?
- 7:57Not going to happen. I I just think we've seen Nicola
- 8:00Yokich, we've seen the Denver Nuggets go down twice 3 to one
- 8:03in the playoffs and twice they've come back and won that
- 8:05series. Nicole Jokic is the best player
- 8:07in this series. He's going to take over this
- 8:09series now. Anthony Edwards is the second
- 8:11best player in this series and now they don't have Anthony
- 8:14Edwards. He could be out.
- 8:15He is out for the rest of the series.
- 8:16He could be out for the next series too, with a bone, with a
- 8:20what was it? It was a bone bruise, a really
- 8:23deep bone bruise. I, I just think that Nicole
- 8:25Jokic and this team is much better.
- 8:27They're going to find a way to tie this Series 3 to 3 and take
- 8:30it to a Game 7 in Denver, and I expect Denver to win the series.
- 8:34Yeah, you wonder if the Minnesota Timberwolves can get
- 8:37enough wing shooting in Anthony Edwards absence.
- 8:39You have to be able to make up for it with combined production.
- 8:42Now Jaden McDaniels has looked good offensively at spurts but
- 8:44more defensively known in in the past.
- 8:46Can they get those younger players going because that's the
- 8:48Nuggets biggest weakness this year.
- 8:49They don't really have those lengthier perimeter defenders
- 8:52and if Aaron Gordon's healthy cue you mentioned this match of
- 8:54last show, Nas Reed is going to have to be a bigger role
- 8:56offensively if Minnesota's. Going to win and if the if
- 8:58Denver's getting points off the bench by Brown, they're a
- 9:02different team. That's why they brought Brown
- 9:04back. He was one of the best six men
- 9:06in the league when he left and then they brought him back.
- 9:09I think he's been in this, the last game in game #5 he played
- 9:12fantastic. He's aggressive and he's a great
- 9:15all around basketball player. If they get that from Brown, I
- 9:19just I just don't see Minnesota winning the series.
- 9:22Yeah, I think McDaniels will have to step up in a in a way
- 9:25that I don't think we've ever seen.
- 9:26He would kind of have to pull out that Jaylen Brown type game
- 9:29where you know, your elite defender, but also being able to
- 9:33put up enough offense to kind of kind of counter whatever the
- 9:37Joker Joker put up. So I would say we haven't seen
- 9:40that out of him yet. So I can't necessarily give him
- 9:44that type of level of credit. So, but like I said earlier,
- 9:47Nazri would have to step up and that's pretty much it.
- 9:51I don't expect the Wolves to come out of this game without
- 9:53Anthony Elvers. They just need that it factor
- 9:55to, you know, counter everything that the Denver Nuggets produce.
- 10:00They have a high level, high level, high scoring level
- 10:02offense and you know, they pretty legit.
- 10:05They've been battle tested before.
- 10:06So I can see the different winning this game tonight and
- 10:10then forcing the Game 7 and closing it out.
- 10:13I just don't think they have enough.
- 10:15You know, these guys will have to play out their mind.
- 10:17They will have to do things that they aren't accustomed to and
- 10:20then they will need just a little bit more help from the
- 10:22bench to be able to get them over the top.
- 10:24And I just don't think they got enough firepower to be able to
- 10:26do that. You know, I wanted to bring up a
- 10:30guy that we've kind of made fun of over the years a little bit
- 10:33having probably his best playoff series of his career.
- 10:36We haven't mentioned him yet. Rudy Gobert.
- 10:38Rudy Gobert has really done his best to neutralize Jokic and
- 10:43what I've seen, you know, I think it's pretty clear what's
- 10:45going to happen in this game. He did a really good job in the
- 10:48paint. You know, Rudy Gobert is great
- 10:50in the paint. So what do you want to do?
- 10:51You you want to bring Jokic outside.
- 10:53But they had those great wing defenders and those pesky guards
- 10:57and now two of them are injured, right?
- 10:58The two best are injured. So now they can bring Jokic back
- 11:02out to the top of the key. Gobert King defends as well at
- 11:04the top of the key. And it's just going to be what
- 11:07you expected for most of the series, in my opinion.
- 11:09I think Jokic is going to have his way with them these next two
- 11:11games. There's nothing they can do
- 11:12about it. You're right though, Nas Reed
- 11:15could be that X Factor. If the Wolves win, it's because
- 11:17he did stuff in the paint when nobody else.
- 11:20He's not good enough. And Julius Randle's not showing
- 11:23up, which is the other. Well, everybody's trying to
- 11:25figure out what's going. On we, we know who Julius Randle
- 11:28is. That's why he's no longer with
- 11:29the Knicks. I called him the bricklayer.
- 11:31He doesn't show up in the big games and he puts up a lot of
- 11:33bricks And and that's why Julius Randle is no longer with the New
- 11:37York Knicks and he's playing over there with the Tiny Tim's.
- 11:41That's what I call it. Oh boy.
- 11:43All right. By the way, the Knicks are
- 11:47currently in a 40 to 4 run. That's great.
- 11:49Let's move on to the Celtics and the Sixers.
- 11:53I think everyone thought that series was going to end in five,
- 11:57and it did not in a pretty shocking way.
- 12:00Joel Embiid had a throwback game which he hasn't played this
- 12:05well, probably, I don't know, since before his injuries a
- 12:09couple of seasons ago, you know, And the question is can if he
- 12:12can keep this type of play up, the Celtics don't have a big to
- 12:17answer for anything he can do. The Celtics are the better team
- 12:21and if Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum show up in tonight's game,
- 12:25they don't stand a chance. That's the facts.
- 12:28But if Joel Embiid and Maxi puts up a 30 spot and you get 1516
- 12:33points from Paul George and a shutdown defender at the
- 12:37perimeter and maybe keep Jaylen Brown to 2524 points, I, I think
- 12:42the 76ers will take it to a Game 7.
- 12:44Jason Tatum, to me has to play at a high level every single
- 12:49game if they're going to beat the 76ers.
- 12:51And there are games, and I'm not saying Jason Tatum isn't great.
- 12:55He's not healthy. He's not 100% healthy.
- 12:57So you're betting, you're betting on Jason Tatum to play
- 13:00at 100% and he's just not at 100%.
- 13:03The fact that he's come back, the fact that he's played hard,
- 13:06the fact that the Celtics are playing at such a high level,
- 13:09you got to give Jason Tatum and that team a lot of credit.
- 13:12But if you look at the the fact here, they're not at 100%.
- 13:16And that's why if they match up against the Knicks in the next
- 13:18series with the Knicks at 100%, I got the Knicks and I I just
- 13:23think that the Celtics are going to win this series if it goes to
- 13:26a Game 7. I still think the Celtics are
- 13:28going to win Boston, but I wouldn't be surprised if
- 13:31surprised if it goes to a Game 7.
- 13:33Yeah, their own worst enemy in a lot of times.
- 13:35The Celtics, we saw them shoot themselves out of game two last
- 13:38year against the Knicks. Just they get a little too
- 13:40comfortable just trying to shoot Freeze all the time and that
- 13:42cost him in Game 2 and I think that cost him in this instance
- 13:44as well when they just have random offensive Dodds.
- 13:47They had that too with their previous coach of the Adoka and
- 13:50even with Brad Stevens with this core.
- 13:52It just sometimes that ends up happening.
- 13:54I, I think they'll be fine in Game 6 as well.
- 13:56I I think they do win a Game 7. Like Errol said many times, Joel
- 13:59and Beatty disappears a lot in game sevens as well and there's
- 14:01a reason he's the only MVP that's ever made a conference
- 14:03finals in NBA history. So you're looking at a case of I
- 14:06still trust the Celtics, but they can't beat themselves the
- 14:08way they have. You just don't want it to go to
- 14:10a Game 7 because the pressure's on the Celtics.
- 14:12But I believe that the Celtics are the better team.
- 14:15They have the two better players.
- 14:17I just don't know how healthy Jayson Tatum is, and if he's not
- 14:20going to give you 3035 points in one of these games, the Celtics
- 14:24are in trouble. Yeah, it's Peter said.
- 14:27We are worst enemy. I think when we went up, I think
- 14:31we beat them twice by 30 and then that next game we dropped
- 14:33the ball on them and just got complacent.
- 14:35So without us dropping those one or two games that we got
- 14:39complacent with, I think that, you know, it just came this
- 14:42series would have been over as far as what I'm predicting.
- 14:45I think that it it possibly I'm I'm like, I'm like 45% thinking
- 14:51that's going to go game seven. I think this is a game that the
- 14:54NBA and the league wants to go to a Game 7 for Raiders and
- 14:57things of that nature. And usually when those type of
- 14:59situations happen, the refs get involved and they kind of shade
- 15:02to one team to kind of keep the game, keep the series alive.
- 15:05But overall, Jayson Tatum still ain't completely healthy, so I
- 15:09don't really put too much blame on him.
- 15:10Jaylen Brown, however, I think that, you know, this is the MVP
- 15:15caliber type night that he need to have where he's showing up on
- 15:19both ends of the ball. But a person that really has
- 15:22cost us the most is probably Derek White.
- 15:23He's just been a complete no show.
- 15:25He hasn't really gave us any lift in regards to the game.
- 15:29Pain pitches gave us a a crazy game the other night and you
- 15:33know, we have some good best players.
- 15:35I think Kayla can definitely keep up with MB on this bad leg
- 15:39that he has not skill set wise, but I do think that he can
- 15:42maintain and hold his own with that last game they gave him
- 15:45some quick fouls and that kind of messed up everything that
- 15:48kind of messed up his his rhythm.
- 15:50And then once you get him out of rhythm, he's he hasn't been
- 15:52established enough in the NBA to be able to, you know, overcome
- 15:56some of those adverse situations and whatnot.
- 15:58So I think it's in our heads, I, I, I do hope and believe that we
- 16:02will put the game away tonight. And when I say we, I mean Boston
- 16:05searchers. So I hope they put a game away
- 16:07tonight. But I can definitely see it
- 16:08going to Game 7 for monetary regions in regards to the
- 16:11league. Kate is not known as an
- 16:12offensive player, though. I think you're going.
- 16:14To get that more with House or you're going to get that more
- 16:16with even Gonzales coming off the bench, too, has been an
- 16:18interesting rookie. Breaking news if you want to
- 16:21jerk me off. Mainly focusing on defense will
- 16:23be a bigger key for the Celtics. But if you're right, if it does
- 16:25go to Game 7 and there'll be a lot of refs involved, we'll see
- 16:28a lot of Joel and Beats. Breaking news, I got to go back
- 16:31off now. That's rude.
- 16:32That's rude. I just want to let you know so
- 16:34when I start doing it to you don't get, don't start.
- 16:37Breaking news, Do you want to jerk me off?
- 16:39Right. Yeah, before we go to the next
- 16:42one. They get the teeth.
- 16:45The next got caught. 41 points up 4160 to 19.
- 16:51Mitchell Robinson who would destroy Cada in a series, would
- 16:55make him look like a child with an alley oop dunk forced them to
- 16:59call a timeout just. Breaking news, I'm putting you
- 17:01on a leash. Now what?
- 17:04We got. All right, here it is.
- 17:07If it's going to work, it's not working.
- 17:09There we go. All right, Magic verse Pistons.
- 17:12What a fascinating series. Pistons stay alive.
- 17:15I can't believe we're saying that they were down 3 to 1.
- 17:18Kate Cunningham monster game to stay alive.
- 17:21Only when they won by like a handful but Kate Cunningham put
- 17:24up. I think it was 45.
- 17:26They're going to need something like that again.
- 17:28Durans look terrible this whole series.
- 17:31He's been humbled. I think he doesn't understand.
- 17:34Sometimes when a young guy gets those veterans in the playoffs
- 17:37for the first time, it takes him a while to figure it out,
- 17:39especially at the big position. This has been kind of a rough
- 17:42one for him. I love what Orlando is doing.
- 17:44They have the size, they're hungry and they're playing at a
- 17:48high level. We didn't see this all season
- 17:49long. They snuck into the playoffs.
- 17:51They did what they did in the the playing game and I I just
- 17:54love what I'm seeing right now. They're knocking out Detroit.
- 17:57Detroit's not winning three games in a row.
- 17:59I expect the Magic to move on and I think they match up
- 18:02against the Cavaliers. That's what I want to see.
- 18:04I want to see the size against the wittiness in the the ageless
- 18:08James Harden who can't shoot in the playoffs.
- 18:11That's what I want to see, ladies and gentlemen, and what I
- 18:13want to see if James Harden can take or help A-Team go to an
- 18:17Eastern Conference finals, something that we don't see a
- 18:19lot of. That's what I want to see.
- 18:21But I I like Orlando in that series.
- 18:23Yeah, I do too. I think they mentioned it
- 18:25Orlando getting the size to cancel out enough with with
- 18:28Duran and inside against Isaiah Stewart, guys like that.
- 18:31And we were I was questioning Detroit's wing depth.
- 18:33That's why I I picked them in this series.
- 18:35But I knew Orlando would be pesky.
- 18:36I thought they'd Detroit were winning six initially, but the
- 18:39way the wings had not showed up for Detroit at all.
- 18:41And this is the trade that fish we talked about.
- 18:43I think on the show that Errol wasn't here last year for
- 18:45Desmond Bain. They gave up all those draft
- 18:47picks to get Desmond Bain. I thought we thought it was a
- 18:49lot at the time, but then he showed up big in this series on
- 18:51both sides of the ball and he's going to have to do it again
- 18:53against Cleveland if they end up playing.
- 18:56Yeah, I I got Aleno coming out of the on top on this series as
- 19:00well. I don't think Detroit got enough
- 19:02to get, you know, three games straight.
- 19:05I do think that K probably got one more good game in them huge
- 19:08game, but I don't even know if that's going to be enough.
- 19:10I think the magic close it out close out this series.
- 19:14I don't like Detroit. I never, I never took the bait
- 19:16in regards to thinking that they was like the best team in the
- 19:19East. I think there was one of those
- 19:21teams that kind of crept around through all season.
- 19:23Nobody really took them serious. They respected Kate and whatnot.
- 19:26But when you got Isaiah Stewart, who you know, has to be an
- 19:29impactful player and whatnot, I don't think so.
- 19:32They need them. They need another score.
- 19:33They need a second score. Someone like, you know, another
- 19:36guard that can really put up the force.
- 19:38Don't and take some of that load off Kate Cunningham, maybe Devin
- 19:41Booker. So you know, there's a couple
- 19:43guy Cam Johnson, you know, somebody that can kind of put up
- 19:46some other points to that arcade to kind of get that rest that he
- 19:49needs to get them over the edge. So hopefully in the offseason
- 19:52they take care of that need. But I like the Orlando Magic
- 19:54going up against hopefully Cleveland and and that matchup
- 19:58will actually be pretty impressive.
- 20:00But I think that Cleveland, the spirits would get them over the
- 20:03magic and then they're cinder runner run from the magic will
- 20:05be over with from there. All right, let's let's take a
- 20:09look. Before we move on, I wanted to
- 20:11ask you guys if you know how many times an 8 seed has upset a
- 20:16one seed since the year 2000? 1. 6 I believe in US.
- 20:22Seven I'm gonna go with. It 4.
- 20:25The answer The answer is 4. It happened a couple years ago,
- 20:28the Heat upset the Bucks, but before that it was 20/12/2012
- 20:34the Sixers over I believe Tom Thibodeau's Bulls, the Grizzlies
- 20:39the year before in 2011 over the Spurs, which was a big one.
- 20:42And then I think everyone remembers the Baron Davis Golden
- 20:45State Warriors upset of the of The Mavericks.
- 20:48And those are the only ones since 2000.
- 20:51Of course, everyone in New York remembers in 99 the Knicks.
- 20:54Knocking off the heat. Why do we have to prove that 99
- 20:59we lost, it doesn't matter. The whole importance that of the
- 21:02night, right? There we lost in the
- 21:03championship. I haven't been alive for any.
- 21:06I mean, yeah, I haven't been alive for any actual full
- 21:08championships. I've seen some good Eastern
- 21:10Conference. Playoffs.
- 21:11We got swept by the Spurs. That's all I got to say.
- 21:14Don't. Worry fish, they won.
- 21:17The NBA Cup champs this year, Errol.
- 21:20Oh my God. Wonderful.
- 21:23All right, I got a hat to prove it.
- 21:25Let's talk about a couple of NBA legends.
- 21:27Errol Verifiable Hall of Famers. One of them's name is LeBron
- 21:32James. He's had to shoulder this series
- 21:34almost all by himself until the last game when Austin Reeves
- 21:37finally made his return. Yep, lady came off the bench,
- 21:40had 22 points, didn't shoot very well, and the Rockets were able
- 21:44to stay alive without Kevin Durant, who tried to give it a
- 21:48go earlier in the series. Apparently suffered an injury
- 21:51and no one really knows when it happened but it.
- 21:54Seems it's. Bad like a practice injury.
- 21:56No one saw it wasn't in the game, but apparently a bad
- 21:59enough ankle injury that he can't go.
- 22:01So it's 32. Obviously we haven't seen Luca
- 22:04yet. Reeves isn't 100%.
- 22:06It's LeBron versus this young Rockets team.
- 22:11Kevin Durant went to the Rockets to win a championship.
- 22:14That's what he did. And I've seen players play with
- 22:18broken fingers, broken toes and gone out there and played their
- 22:21asses off. Hockey players do it all the
- 22:22time. Broken teeth, broken fingers,
- 22:25broken. I mean, I've seen somebody have
- 22:28torn meniscus in play. You're an NBA basketball player
- 22:32at the tail end of your career. You go out there and play as
- 22:34hard as you possibly can. How many years do you have left?
- 22:37Your team needs you. I don't want to hear it always.
- 22:40His ankles are hurting him. Tape it up and go out there.
- 22:43You're better than half the players on that run, Buster, so
- 22:47you got to go out there and play hard.
- 22:48This isn't like he's 30 years old and he's got a lot of
- 22:50basketball left. He's 37 years old.
- 22:53He's at the tail end of his career.
- 22:54This is why he's never won a championship by himself.
- 22:57He had to jump to Golden State and win a championship with.
- 22:59Steph Curry. And Klay Thompson and Draymond
- 23:02Green, that's what he needed to do.
- 23:04You got to prove yourself, do it yourself with a team that
- 23:07expects you to show up. Honestly, I look at Kevin Durant
- 23:11is a little girl. That's what I think.
- 23:12And there's no way they win this series without Kevin Durant, no
- 23:16way in hell I expect them to lose, and I expect them to lose
- 23:19bad in the next game. I bet the Lakers win this series
- 23:23in six, as expected. Yeah, the reason they traded for
- 23:26Kevin Durant was they needed that 3 point shooting, they
- 23:28needed that jump shooting and now you're getting you're losing
- 23:31him. We already lost, like Errol said
- 23:32many times, Van Fleet for the entire year.
- 23:34You're not getting that type level production.
- 23:36They have no point guard play. Yeah, none.
- 23:38Yeah, they traded, they traded away Jaylen Green because he
- 23:40couldn't shoot like they have. Just don't have enough scoring.
- 23:42And I just don't think that keeps up against the Lakers.
- 23:44They did well defensively last game.
- 23:46We'll be able to keep up again, especially with Reeves coming
- 23:48back and LeBron in many different roles.
- 23:49You never know what he could do. And he steps up big in the
- 23:51playoffs. So I I just can't say it either.
- 23:54Yeah, I would like to address the the Kevin Durant slander
- 23:57first and foremost. I think Fish LED off with that.
- 23:59He's actually tried and actually tried to come back.
- 24:02But actually the bone contusion and and what he's dealing with
- 24:05is obviously too severe for him to get out there.
- 24:08And what I would say is that you asking the 3740 year old to play
- 24:11through severe pain to elevate our team, our young team who
- 24:15doesn't have any identity and a playoff game and a playoff
- 24:19series that we're not at work. The Houston Rockets are not
- 24:22actually going to win. I think the Lakers will come out
- 24:25on top of this series. I don't have the Houston Rockets
- 24:28being able to overcome the deficit that they put themselves
- 24:31in. Obviously there was down 3 O,
- 24:33but yeah, I think LeBron, that isn't going to play well.
- 24:37I think it does get interesting in the end because LeBron this
- 24:40doesn't necessarily pay well, but the other stars and I think
- 24:43he had his way with the role players that he was able to
- 24:45actually dictate the game. They're going to sit around,
- 24:48they're going to listen to everything they everything that
- 24:50he say and everything he tell them to do versus a Luca who's
- 24:54very bald dominant and they are who's very bald dominant.
- 24:57They're going to they already proven score.
- 24:59So they're going to go out and play their game and not
- 25:01necessarily do what's best interest for the team.
- 25:04So I think the Lakers still come out on top of this.
- 25:07I think that the Rockets probably win this game right
- 25:09here, which is the next game, which is game six no back and
- 25:12finish at in LA on Game 7. So I would say that, yeah, I
- 25:18would say LeBron wins this series, but then after that it's
- 25:21swept sweet season with OKC for sure.
- 25:24LeBron has not been a factor in a series.
- 25:26It's the secondary players that have helped him and I again
- 25:30Canard has played very well. These guys.
- 25:32You need Austin Reeves when Luca Dodgy comes back after they
- 25:35eliminate the Rockets, the loneliness, Kevin Durant,
- 25:38Rockets, they're going to move on.
- 25:40I think the Lakers are dangerous.
- 25:42If Luka Doncic I, I do because I think Luka Doncic adds that
- 25:46persistent offense they have not had in this series.
- 25:49You add Luka Doncic, who's going to give you 32 points.
- 25:51Even if LeBron gives you 19 and Reeves gives you 25, they're
- 25:55going to be hard to beat. They're going to be hard to
- 25:57beat, I think, and they play better defense in the playoffs
- 26:01then they were in a regular season.
- 26:02I'm telling you, the Lakers. Are danger the two the.
- 26:06Lakers are dangerous. I'm telling you, they're
- 26:09dangerous. They're just as dangerous as
- 26:11getting to the second round. Again, and just so you know, and
- 26:14just so you know, Kevin Durant, you could say whatever you want.
- 26:20You you tape your leg and you go out there and play.
- 26:23You don't have many years. Yes.
- 26:24What did the Rockets trade for Kevin Durant?
- 26:26What did they trade? To be an elite player.
- 26:28What did they trade? Kevin Durant?
- 26:31They traded. Did he?
- 26:32Not play? Did he not play all season?
- 26:35Kevin Durant is a choke artist. He's a loser.
- 26:39He has never won by himself. Never, never won.
- 26:44Oh my God, he played with Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond
- 26:48Green, of course, he's the Finals MVP.
- 26:52That's very good because they were double teaming Steph Curry.
- 26:55I usually never stick up for Steph Curry.
- 26:58I never stick up for Steph Curry.
- 27:00But I'm going to tell you right now, don't come out here and
- 27:02tell me he was two time Finals MVP when the guy can't win by
- 27:06himself, he can never win by himself.
- 27:08He's a choke artist and a pee wee.
- 27:10Hey, if you go back and look at history, nobody's wrong about.
- 27:12It he's a pee wee I'll. Have somebody.
- 27:14There, Pee Wee. We got.
- 27:16We got our old. Team game, we got our game.
- 27:19We have our old Frank Tyler Harrison in the comments
- 27:21section. I'm sure he's waiting for this
- 27:22moment where you're finally sticking for Steph Curry.
- 27:25I got to tell you something, while you guys were fighting,
- 27:29the Knicks went up exactly 50 points and then Dyson Daniels
- 27:33tried to fight Mitchell Robinson.
- 27:35That was not a smart move by Dyson Daniels and that is still
- 27:39being reviewed right now. Mike Brown ate the deck in this
- 27:43fight. A bunch of other coaches and
- 27:46staff members, including an official, got thrown down just
- 27:50from the two guys. Kind of like in a sumo wrestle
- 27:53type of thing. Pretty stupid person to go
- 27:56after. I would argue Mitchell Robinson,
- 27:58not the guy I tried to make angry at myself.
- 28:02If I was nice in Daniels, I should have.
- 28:04Gone after Andre Drummond instead.
- 28:07Bro it's 7222. And if it was Kevin Durant, he'd
- 28:10curl up in a little ball. He'd curl up in a little ball.
- 28:12He'd curl up in a little ball. Two times finding MVP.
- 28:15Kevin, watch your mouth. He's supposed to go out there.
- 28:22I've seen hockey players go out there.
- 28:24Dude, dude, my doctor, ball players, my doctor told me when
- 28:28I had my next surgery not to do a radio show for two weeks.
- 28:32The next day I did a radio show. That is a bitch move.
- 28:36It is a bitch move by Kevin Durant, and it shows you he is
- 28:39not a team player. He's all about himself.
- 28:42What a loser. What a loser, loser, loser.
- 28:46Loser, loser, loser. And you compared that to your.
- 28:55Name. They call me the Ladies Man and
- 28:57Mr. Studio Girl. I am a legend.
- 29:00My doctor told me not to do a loser when my neck was hurt.
- 29:05Loser. Are you kidding me, NBA?
- 29:10I had my trachea moved, moved, moved and my voice box moved and
- 29:18he told me not to do a radio show and I did it the next day.
- 29:22What do you? What do you?
- 29:23I'm telling you the truth. I'm a team player 1 trachea bro.
- 29:26I am a team. I am a team player.
- 29:29Look, I got my teeth done and I, my doctor told me I'm biting my
- 29:33tongue during this show because I had my teeth done because I
- 29:36don't have my real teeth right now and I'm still doing the show
- 29:40and I'm going to bitch out for you guys.
- 29:42No, I'm a team player. I put up my Dukes and I fight.
- 29:47I fight. Unlike Kevin Durant, Wussy I.
- 29:51Hurt my neck. Wussy.
- 29:53They told me that to do my radio show.
- 29:55I am a legend. That win hits you.
- 29:57That win hits you, You'll mess up your own neck all.
- 30:00Right, let's get through. Let's get through the playoff.
- 30:03Series quickly. The only one that's really
- 30:06competitive still is the Cavaliers Raptors.
- 30:09Cleveland's leading 3 to 2. They play tomorrow night in
- 30:13Toronto. It's been pretty even series
- 30:16throughout, pretty back and forth.
- 30:19Obviously the Cavs have a little bit more experience.
- 30:22Maybe they're, you know, the coaches is coaches are both
- 30:25seasoned. But I don't know, this seems
- 30:27like the Cavs seem to have a little bit more in this one.
- 30:29I love Kenny Atkinson. I expect the Cavs to win this
- 30:32series. It could go 7.
- 30:33I don't think it will. I think it ends in six.
- 30:36But it's been fun to watch and and the Cavaliers have looked
- 30:41like a team that doesn't show up in quarters.
- 30:44They show up in one quarter, they disappear in the next
- 30:46quarter, they show up in the next quarter and they disappear
- 30:48in the next quarter. The Cavaliers haven't played a
- 30:50full straight top end game in this series.
- 30:55I want to see them completely shut down the Toronto Raptors.
- 30:58They're not a good team. As a matter of fact, in all the
- 31:01series, everybody thought that this series was going to go in
- 31:04four. They didn't even think it was
- 31:05going to be anywhere close. And the fact that the Raptors
- 31:08are in and they're playing hard as as hard as they've played in
- 31:11this series, you got to give the coaching and you got to give the
- 31:13players a little bit more respect for what the what kind
- 31:17of season they've had all season long.
- 31:18Yeah, they're ahead of schedule. This is the young team that's
- 31:20ahead of schedule. Five seed made that leap and
- 31:23they just need a little more offense to be able to get time
- 31:24with their defense as good as Cleveland.
- 31:26Cleveland's offense was the most efficient offensive season I
- 31:28think they had since the one year they were the number one
- 31:30seed. And I think the Cleveland
- 31:33definitely has the experience. But like we said before, Orlando
- 31:35in the next round can't be taken lightly either because they have
- 31:38size that can counter with the Cavs.
- 31:39The Cavs biggest strength of their size.
- 31:40Don and Mitchell kind of disappeared play hero ball in
- 31:42game four. Besides that, he's played great.
- 31:45Yeah, this is kind of a disappointing series to me.
- 31:47I expected Cleveland to be way better then Toronto Raptors.
- 31:51I thought it would be like a full one, maybe even 4 old, you
- 31:55know, at the end of the day. But you know, they, they like
- 31:57you said earlier, they show up in certain quarters and then
- 32:00they just go ghost and others. And I just think overall, they
- 32:03haven't been able to be consistent enough to give them
- 32:06that edge that they're going to need, especially when it comes
- 32:08down to postseason and you play in different teams like the
- 32:11Magic, if they make when they make it and then you're going to
- 32:14end up playing the central and the finals and things that
- 32:16nature. I think it's I think it's
- 32:19important that you know, you'll be able to close out those type
- 32:22of games. But they got the size, they got
- 32:23the experience. I just don't really understand
- 32:26why is there. You know why they series is tied
- 32:2922 with the rap my indoors. I can definitely see that they
- 32:32go Game 7 because at the end of the day they they haven't been
- 32:36consistent enough to show that they can finish series out.
- 32:39I love Lisa Ann. Let's let's keep it going.
- 32:43The other two series were kind of easy ones for both of the
- 32:46teams. The top two teams record wise in
- 32:48the NBA this season? The Spurs finished off the
- 32:51Blazers four games to 1. When Benyama missed the game
- 32:55that they lost, he was in concussion protocol.
- 32:58I guess Concussion protocol in the NBA playoffs is 2 days. 2
- 33:02days. Three days. 48 hours.
- 33:04I'm pretty sure it's longer than that.
- 33:06I've I've done concussion. Protocol in the playoffs, it's
- 33:0948 hours. We've seen a.
- 33:10Yeah, in the playoffs, it changes your brain.
- 33:13Your brain can handle more because of the playoffs, so
- 33:19that's OK. But you know when Benyama was
- 33:21mad that he had to miss any time?
- 33:23I've told you what it is. It's the LJA, the LeBron James
- 33:26Association. How many times do I have to tell
- 33:28you? But not even that.
- 33:29I think the concussion protocol doesn't mean that you actually
- 33:31concussed. I think it's just to go.
- 33:33Through a. That's all I'm going to say.
- 33:37I would just say that a lot of concussion experts, we talked to
- 33:41a bunch of them back when we were at the Super Bowl a couple
- 33:43years ago, would have some issues with him coming back so
- 33:46quickly in a contact sport. From that doesn't really matter.
- 33:50There. There was Portland had no chance
- 33:53in this series, no chance in this series.
- 33:55The fact that they stayed in this series the way they did,
- 33:57you got to give Portland a lot of credit.
- 33:59They lost their coach in the beginning of the season,
- 34:01Chauncey Phillips for that betting, betting scandal and all
- 34:03that other stuff. The fact that the Trail Blazers
- 34:06are here, it's been very impressive.
- 34:08The Trailblazer has the Trail Blazers have a future and their
- 34:11G Ms. done a very good job. I like what they've done.
- 34:13But the Spurs, we expected this. I expect the Spurs to be one of
- 34:17the dominant teams. I expect the Spurs against OK C
- 34:21in the Western Conference finals.
- 34:22That's what everybody wants to see.
- 34:23But I'm going to tell you this right now, watch out for the
- 34:25Lakers. If Luka Dodge comes back.
- 34:28They're scary, you say, man, but they're a very scary team.
- 34:32I'm telling you, I'm telling you, walk it.
- 34:34Walk it. Don't don't OKC play San Antonio
- 34:38Nets. No, they play the Lakers in the
- 34:39next they play the Lakers will play the winner of Minnesota and
- 34:42Denver and I will say if Denver comes.
- 34:43Back in this series. If Denver comes back in this
- 34:45series, they're going to be interesting against the Spurs
- 34:47too. If Wendy's not 100% healthy
- 34:49either because Spurs, obviously they're the better all around
- 34:50team, but the Nuggets have the experience.
- 34:52Yeah, he'll dominate. He'll dominate Joker.
- 34:55That ain't no issue. But I think the Spurs there
- 34:57will. I don't think that, like you
- 34:58said earlier, that the Portland Trail Blazers didn't belong
- 35:02there, that, you know, that was one of those teams that, you
- 35:04know, benefit from the play in tournament and and that and
- 35:08whatnot. So, yeah, I think that the Spurs
- 35:10is overall the better team. They probably the biggest threat
- 35:13in the West to OK C over anybody else.
- 35:15So I look forward to seeing them in OK C battled out in the
- 35:18finals, in the conference finals.
- 35:21Well, let's talk about them then let's get into OK C It's the
- 35:24last series to talk about four zero series sweep over the Suns.
- 35:29Devin Booker had a quite a lot to say about the officiating
- 35:32about that series. He should have SGA was getting
- 35:36every like he look. We know SGA gets calls.
- 35:39He's really good at it. He's not the MVP.
- 35:41I've said this already. He's there's an art to it, but
- 35:44what was going on in that series was a little more than I think
- 35:48he needs. It's been going on all season
- 35:51long in Madison Square Garden. A lot of people were questioning
- 35:53the referees, giving them all the calls.
- 35:55Jalen Brunson was going up for layups, getting smacked around,
- 35:58no fouls. SGA, He's right at the free
- 36:01throw line, free throw line. So it's it's to me, it's just a
- 36:04big problem. The NBA needs to look into this.
- 36:06They're talking about figuring out how to fix this lottery
- 36:09situation, not choking in the middle of the season.
- 36:11That's great. Figure out the flopping thing.
- 36:14Figure out everything that's going on in the NBA that nobody
- 36:16likes to watch. The NBA to me is a flopping
- 36:19game. This wasn't like this in the 90s
- 36:21or the early 2000s. It's gotten worse because at the
- 36:24LJA, the LeBron James Association, LeBron does it,
- 36:27James Harding does it, Russell Westbrook does it.
- 36:30The bitching, the crying, the moaning.
- 36:32This is the problem right now in the NBA.
- 36:34It's become a wussy sport and I want to see it more aggressive.
- 36:38That's what I want to see. Hand checking again.
- 36:40That's what made the NBA so fun to watch, the aggressive nature.
- 36:43It's not like that anymore. You shoot a three, you put a
- 36:46finger on him, you're shooting. If you hit that, you're hitting
- 36:48A4 point play. It never happened in the 90s
- 36:51like that. It's been a big problem.
- 36:53And again, OKC is a great team. They're great.
- 36:57They're the best team right now going into heading into the
- 36:59playoffs. But if SGA is getting all these
- 37:02calls, nobody has a chance against them.
- 37:05Nobody. No matter how good you're
- 37:07playing at a high level, there's no chance you have to beat them
- 37:11if SGA is getting every single call.
- 37:13Yeah, We talked about with some of our guests last year like
- 37:15they have the best combination of not needing to shoot threes
- 37:17and still being able to play the analytic game with the depth
- 37:20that they have and getting the smart shots as you were.
- 37:23And obviously this will cater into it when you have a guy that
- 37:25is as good as drawing fouls. Q You were talking about it last
- 37:28show. It's sometimes an art form to
- 37:30draw fouls the way he doesn't. It's harder for somebody that's
- 37:32a point guard like that, but at the same time he's got the
- 37:34length, he's got the quickness, he'll be able to do it.
- 37:37Yeah. So in the playoffs, you know,
- 37:39everybody thinks that the game gets more tougher and things of
- 37:41that nature. So I think as I mentioned before
- 37:43that you know, SGA has a unique talent and a skill set that to
- 37:47draw fouls and and allow the referees to be in tough
- 37:50positions to make those calls. And I think that, you know, the
- 37:53reigning MVP about to be two time MVP does a great job with
- 37:59getting to the mid range and really scoring and really
- 38:01scoring from the mid range game. And I think you're very
- 38:04efficient. And I think that's a contribute
- 38:08to some of the calls that he get as well.
- 38:09Like when you scored at a high clip, you easily can get guys
- 38:13caught up in the cookie cutter, which is when you about to shoot
- 38:16that little gap in between your chest in the in the hole is what
- 38:20we call the cookie cutter. So it's easy to get guys in
- 38:22there because they're trying to prevent you from getting to your
- 38:24spot. They're trying to prevent you
- 38:26from elevating and getting a shot off.
- 38:28And most of the time it causes you to foul.
- 38:30So OKC was the better team. I don't I really don't care
- 38:34about the Devin Booker complaining about the officials.
- 38:37Phoenix had no business been on the same court as OKC and no, no
- 38:42point in time where they're going to ever jump out there and
- 38:46be a contender versus OKC. So I think that, you know, I'm
- 38:50sorry, Devin Booker, but you know, maybe when you get traded
- 38:54or when you go somewhere else, you'll have a real opportunity
- 38:56of winning in the West or the East.
- 38:58But you know, at the end of the day, OKC was going to sweep them
- 39:01from the beginning and I look forward to seeing them going all
- 39:04the way down to the final. It's going to be difficult with
- 39:06Jalen Williams being on the sideline, but for the most part
- 39:09I can see OK, she's still making it to the Eastern Conference
- 39:12final. I'm probably back for the
- 39:13finals. Here's here's the problem.
- 39:14Here's the problem. And you keep saying how do you
- 39:17expect to defend a player that you can't foul?
- 39:20If you touch him, he's going to the free throw line.
- 39:22So of course he's going to have a high shooting percentage
- 39:25because nobody could defend him. If you get into his face, he's
- 39:28going to he's going to draw a foul.
- 39:30That's the problem right now. The NBA needs how to figure this
- 39:32out. They need to figure this out.
- 39:34Shut the music off, Speedy. They need to figure this out
- 39:37because it's bad. This is bad for the NBA.
- 39:39It's not fun to watch anymore. It isn't watching James Harden
- 39:43flop, watching LeBron James flop, and watching all these
- 39:46players looking at Steph Curry. When he gets angry, he throws
- 39:49his mouthpiece because he's not getting a call.
- 39:51To me, it's bad for the NBA. This never happened in the 90s.
- 39:55It never did. It was fun to watch the
- 39:58aggressive nature of basketball. Now you're watching a bunch of
- 40:01guys become wussies. And that's what it.
- 40:05There's nothing to do with skill.
- 40:06Set and I find it very. None of these guys have Michael
- 40:08Jordan's skill set. I'm sorry.
- 40:10None of them. None of these guys have Michael
- 40:12Jordan's skill set. No, they don't listen.
- 40:13No, they don't listen. No, they don't.
- 40:15No, they don't. No, they don't.
- 40:17Sit here because. He's No, they don't.
- 40:18Competitor, they say that they don't have his skill set because
- 40:21when you look at the the analytics or you look at the
- 40:24data or you're looking at the looking at it on on screen, it's
- 40:27the same. It's actually better in so many
- 40:30aspects. And again, he was the best.
- 40:32He was the best player that we've seen touching basketball.
- 40:35However, to sit here and act like the skill set of these guys
- 40:39aren't even in comparison to what he was developing.
- 40:42He wasn't shooting the three. He couldn't go left for a
- 40:44certain amount of years. So who would have been talking
- 40:47about these guys are doing certain things now that you
- 40:50know, he would probably be able to do?
- 40:51He was a he wasn't that guy. He was the guy back there, but
- 40:55he wouldn't beat that guy. Now kill.
- 40:57You can go back and forth and argue your points.
- 40:59It's not going to make a difference.
- 41:01If you're going to tell me right now any of these guys have his
- 41:04skill set, you're out of your mind.
- 41:06There is no, there is there is no comparison in any kind of way
- 41:12when you look at SGA or any of these guys and try to compare
- 41:16the skill set of what Michael Jordan brought into the game.
- 41:18Michael Jordan brought the skill set in the game.
- 41:21He is the game. That's what it is, Michael
- 41:24Jordan. That's an interesting segue
- 41:27right there, Errol. I am because I'm going to go
- 41:29into my deuce of the day. Well, LeBron James comes out and
- 41:39says some interesting things over the last 24 hours.
- 41:43LeBron James on MJ debate. Our games are totally different.
- 41:48As LeBron James approaches the end of his NBA career, he has
- 41:53limited time to bolster his case as the basketball's GOAT above
- 41:59Michael Jordan. While the debate might never be
- 42:01settled, James, in a wide-ranging series interview
- 42:05with ESPN conducted during the season, acknowledges the
- 42:09influence of Jordan had on him. I hope I made him proud, at
- 42:14least wearing the number 23, James said.
- 42:16Or told Dave Mcmanning. The six foot nine £250.
- 42:22James pointed out and inherited differences between him and
- 42:26Jordan, who was listed at 6 foot 6 and 200 lbs when he played.
- 42:31I never have compared myself to MJ because our games are totally
- 42:36different, James said. I have been a point forward,
- 42:40forward point my whole life. I have always looked to pass.
- 42:45MJ kind of looked to shoot. Not kind of he did.
- 42:49He looked for the shot. There are a lot of things where
- 42:54I would say my game is a lot different and a little bit
- 42:58better than his, but blank S, he was effing great.
- 43:04We're both great. We're both great basketball
- 43:07players. Here's what I'm going to say.
- 43:11LeBron James is a special player.
- 43:15He to me, you can argue he's the second greatest basketball
- 43:18player of all time. I've said it many, many times, I
- 43:21think he's the second greatest basketball player of all time.
- 43:24Everything that he's done for the NBA and and having all the
- 43:26pressure that he had coming from high school being called the
- 43:29king, it to me he's wrapped everything that he has produced
- 43:33as an NBA player. He's brought good things to the
- 43:36game of basketball and a lot of bad things.
- 43:38But what I look at his game and I look at Michael Jordan's game,
- 43:43he could say whatever he wants. He he grew up a Michael Jordan
- 43:45fan. So did everybody else growing up
- 43:47wanting to wear his sneakers like everybody else.
- 43:50And now because of Michael Jordan, he's a multi
- 43:53billionaire. It really is.
- 43:55What Michael Jordan brought to the game is completely
- 43:58different. You want to compare SGA and and
- 44:00try to compare his shooting percentages to Michael Jordan's,
- 44:04that's great. Nobody looked at that in the NBA
- 44:07in the 90s. His dominance, what he did for
- 44:09USA Basketball, how he transitioned USA Basketball and
- 44:12international Basketball in 176 countries, nobody could ever
- 44:17compare to as good as LeBron James will always be looked at
- 44:21and be compared to Michael Jordan.
- 44:23There is no comparison. No matter what he puts to a
- 44:27paper, no matter what he says, they play different positions.
- 44:30No matter what he says, I've never compared his game to mine.
- 44:33You went on the ESPY Awards, your family went on the ESPY
- 44:36Awards and quote UN quote said you're the GOAT.
- 44:40My father's the GOAT. All your friends from Dwyane
- 44:44Wade to Carmelo Anthony to Chris Paul, all of you think that he's
- 44:49a GOAT. Except actually Carmelo Anthony
- 44:51was kind of hesitant on it. The fact here is there is no
- 44:56comparison to any of their games.
- 44:59He's right. One's 6 foot 91's, a Magic
- 45:02Johnson's prototype player, and there's a six foot 6.
- 45:07Absolute gliding man. What he did for the NBA, what he
- 45:11changed for the NBA will never be compared to.
- 45:14So to my honest opinion, this was brought up because a lot of
- 45:18people are talking about it being that he's retiring and all
- 45:21the statistics and all the numbers that he has.
- 45:23The game is different. The game falls in his way.
- 45:26If Michael Jordan played in the game now, Michael Jordan would
- 45:29have all these numbers, all these statistics.
- 45:31Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player of all time.
- 45:33There's no comparison and I don't think we can argue that
- 45:36ever again. That's my deuce of the day.

- 45:45fan on Spotify and Apple, video and audio.
