  Speaker 2: Heavy First Briday.
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: Welcome to the Shat O'Connell Show, US USA USA.
• 0:34
  Speaker 4: That is both a reactionary chant and a preemptive predictive
• 0:38
  Speaker 4: chance for Olympic hockey women's gold medal game puck dropping
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: shortly USA versus Canada.
• 0:47
  Speaker 5: I wish I was in Milan for this right now.
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: And of course the reactionary chant comes from an overtime
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: victory over Sweden. First time Team USA has beat Team
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: Sweden in about sixty years in the Olympics, at least
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: in the Olympics where NHL ers are involved. So Quinn
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: Hughes three on three hockey, beautiful goal to send US
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: men's hockey through to the Olympic semi final where they
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: will take on a somewhat surprising Slovakia team. So Connor
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: hellibook O's Quinn Hughes and company a bit of a beverage.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Perhaps I don't know if it's free or not. In
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: the Olympic village.
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: I don't know if it's encouraged or discouraged in the
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: Olympic village because everyone seems like they're there to party.
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: But we talked about this with Adrian Denny yesterday.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: How Hella buck is.
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: He's kind of like the steady consistent I mean ninety
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: five percent, say percentage in this Olympic tournament. But he
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: was giving up a goal of game, and the knock
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: on him has always been, hey, can you win us
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: the big one? He gave up a third period, late
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: third period goal to mika'z A Benajad, and it looked
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: like things we're gonna get a little shaky for Team USA.
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: Head into overtime and Connor Hughes puts one.
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: Quinn Hughes. Connor Hughes is a fighter.
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: Quinn Hughes is the NHL Star Slash Team USA hero
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: from yesterday. So little Olympic hockey and again we've got
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: a gold medal game on the women's side of things
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: coming very very shortly. I will give you updates as
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: the show progresses. Bronze, just bronze medal game descended. I'm
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: gonna have to double check who your bronze medalist is
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: but it was it was Switzerland Sweden, so we have
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: a bronze medalist. Obviously, this one's gonna determine the gold
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: and silver. The all time gold medal games in women's
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: hockey Olympic women's hockey have been Canada USA at pretty
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: much every Olympic Games, with the exception of one Canada
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: Sweden contest. So let's go team USA, get this thing done.
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: Gold medal add to the gold medal count. And of
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: course I know that the gold medal count team sports
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: as even as large as this, when the count as
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: one gold medal or as one medal whatever you end
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: up getting. But we know, all right, we know what
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: if you get the gold Olympic gold medal in hockey,
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: that's kind of it's worth like five gold medals. It's
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: the it's like and maybe this is just how US
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: mainstream sports fans think, but for me and I feel
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: like the majority of of like actual hardcore sports fans
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: in America or North America, in the summer, the basketball
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: medal medals are the most important, and well, in hockey,
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: it's it's it's are in winter Olympics.
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: It's hockey, right.
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: You know what, you know what, James, this is. This
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: is a good question. We got to figure out a
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: way to craft this. But not all medals are created equals, certainly, right,
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: What is the most prestigious of all prestigious medals in
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: the Olympics?
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Now?
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: I think in the Summer Olympics, basketball is obviously a
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: big deal. I think that the one hundred meter champion
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: is the most prestigious of all the Olympic gold medals
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: in the Summer Olympics because you're the fastest man or
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: the fastest woman on the planet in that case.
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: But they're not teams.
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: Swimming's a big deal, probably more because Michael Phelps made
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: him a big deal for us, won't. I mean Katie
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: Ladecci's and on the women's side, yes, she's like even
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: she's even more of an outlier relative to her competition
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: than Michael Phelps's in a lot of events, at least,
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: So the most prestigious of all prestigious gold medals I
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: actually had in the notes trying to put into con text,
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: like how how in crowd a lofty and achievement a
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: gold medal is relative to like would you rather would you?
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: Would you rather be able?
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: To say in America, right, that you are a gold
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: medalist in the Olympics, or that you like won the
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: Heisman Trophy.
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: Would you rather be able to say that you were.
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: An Olympic gold medalist or that you were an NBA
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: n VP. See I think I think the gold medal
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: when you're when you're taking an account the entire populists
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: of America, right, not just the sports fans, right, which
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: the Olympics bring in every just about everybody, not just
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: sports fans, right. We the patriotism, the the pageantry, all
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: of that. So I think that when you're taking when
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: you're bringing taking everyone into account, that gold medal, you
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: would rather be a gold medalist. You would get more
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: attention if that's what you're looking for from winning this.
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: If that's part of what you're looking for from winning this,
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: for being a gold medalist, then you would be from
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: a Heisman Trophy now among like, like I was saying,
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: trying to say, mainstream sports fans, hardcore sports fans, just
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: that smaller sample size, still big, but smaller than the
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: entire populace of the United States. Of course, Heisman Trophy
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: is probably going to be the thing, right, but in
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: general gold medal is a bigger deal, no, I mean, yeah,
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: looks it's harder to win an Olympic gold medal than
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: it is to win a Heisman trophy. Even though there's
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: a lot of a lot more people that win gold
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: medals obviously than Heisman trophies every cycle.
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: It is harder.
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: You'll only get a shot every four years to do it.
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: Your competition is not just the best like eighteen to
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: twenty two year old athletes in the United States of America,
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: it is the best athletes of any age demographic on
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: the planet. Yeah, but it's not like the numbers don't
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: always go that way, right, I mean, I've made this
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: case many many times, to be like an elite world
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: champion boxer, right, to be an elite world champion in
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: mixed martial arts, to be like, it's actually a lot
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: more rare to be that than to be a super
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: Bowl champion. But there's not a single American sports fan
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: out there, well, there's probably a few, but most American
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: sports fans just being like, yeah, the ultimate achievements a
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: super Bowl championship.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: But it's like there's a lot more of those Super
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: Bowl rings.
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: Floating around out there than there are like multiple time
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: belt winners in boxing or the UFC fight. The place
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: of these sports in our society obviously batters here. And
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: that's why, like people who listen to our show are
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: probably gonna say it's a no brainer a Heisman trophy.
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: But it's like there's a lot of people who aren't
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: sports fans who pay attention to the Olympics and think
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: that with the gold medal is a huge deal, and
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: they don't think a Heisman trophy is that big a deal.
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: They may not even know what the Heisman Trophy is.
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: And the other thing about it is, right when I'm
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: when I think about prestige, importance, things like that, I'm
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: talking about the average person. You and I could probably
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: name more well, we could probably name an equal number
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: of gold medal winners and Heisman Trophy winners. It probably
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: be kind of the same weight, right, just in your memory,
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: in your sports awareness, things like that, does that count
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: bat twelve twelve players on the basketball team? In that case,
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: you're gonna be able to rattle off a lot more
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: gold medals because I don't know, right, And I say
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: that tongue in cheek, because because yeah, you're gonna I
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: don't know. I name every NBA player who won a
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: gold medal, like I knew who Mikayla Schiffern was. I
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: knew that she had won at least one gold medal,
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: But I couldn't have told you when she just won
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: her her first one in these Olympics. I couldn't have
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: told you, first of all, that that was her first
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: one in eight years. Yeah, And I also couldn't have
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: told you. I don't know if that's her second or
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: third or her fifth. I don't know. By the way,
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: I hate the way that that language is accurate, but
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: it's also like misleading. This is her first Olympic medal
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: in eight years. Yeah, it's her first Olympic medal in
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: two tries, two in two Olympics. It's like she didn't
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: win a bunch in Beijing like they thought she would.
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: She had a bad Olympic Games. She didn't put in
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: any medals in Beijing, right, yeah, so like she just
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: had a bad Olympics. So she had a she had
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: a bad season. She had one bad season. And it's
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: but because it's the Olympics, we're like, she hasn't won
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: a medal in eight years?
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's kind of it's kind of
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: the same as like like Lowry Markin was not an
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: All Star last year.
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly, Like, Okay, it's been bad for eight years.
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: You have a bad season or an injury plagued season
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: or whatever. In the Olympics, it's like this person has
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: been irrelevant for eight years, like she's thirty years old.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: Knock it off.
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: They're on the ice. They're they're on the ice.
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: And one update I did I did find out who
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: the bronze medalist is for women's hockey. It is Switzerland.
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: They beat Sweden tow to one in overtime. So exciting,
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: exciting finish for the bronze medal game. Congrats to the Swiss.
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: Here's what I love. We've seen the players around the ice.
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: Here's the first my first impression that I love. Canada
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: is not wearing a black maple leaf. They have a
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: red maple leaf. Good job, Lady Canadians, lady leafs. I
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: hope that it looks like a Canadian uniform. Yeah, I
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: love that. Team USA's uniforms are looking great too. It's
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: the blue, red and white, mostly blue New York Rangers
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: style Team USA.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: Now don't say New York.
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: It makes me like it last when we call it
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: New York. It is, but it looks again.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: It's kind of like Mikaela Schiffern hasn't won a gold
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: in eight years.
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: It's accurate, but it's misleading. Okay, we're not trying to
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: copy the Rangers here. I didn't know that you were
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: so anti Rangers. I thought you were just anti Avs.
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: At this point, I'm very anti abs.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: I think I.
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: I think I need to come to the grips with
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: the fact that I'm just anti New York sports teams
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: except for the Knicks.
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: I'm kind of neutral on the Knicks now.
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: And the Nets. You're probably neutral because who cares about
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: the nets? The nets, I guess sort of count eight
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: seven seven three five three zero seven hundred in the
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: medal count. Right, Norway is dominating these Olympics, and they're
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: having a great time, But what is the most prestigious
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: the gold medal of all gold medals. I don't know
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: who would argue in the Summer Olympics that it's fastest man,
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: fastest woman alive hundred meter championship. Now, all the swimmers
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: out there would just be like, uh, it's actually a
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: heck of a lot harder to win that race in
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: the pool than it is on land. But but the
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: thing going against swimming is you don't know, there's not
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: a singular swim event that stands out to you, like
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: there is a singular track and field event that stands
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: out to you. Right with you talked about a hundred meters,
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: there's I couldn't even tell I know there's the relay.
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: They do relays and swim. I couldn't even tell you
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: accurately what the name of a swim event.
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: I just know that there's a bunch of them, and you.
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: Just know there's a lot of meters and there's several
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: there's the backstroke, there's the butterfly, different there's the medley,
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: there's the freestyle.
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: There's all these things, right.
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: And you've got I don't think it's just one relay.
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: I think it's a couple of different relays. So are
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: we deciding that in the pool Olympic medals get diluted?
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: See what I did there? Because there's too many dang
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: events because.
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: Of the chlorine. Oh no, because okay, the events.
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I feel like I feel like that's the case,
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: and there's not just one that's like, that's the fastest
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: person alive in water, right that we know is it's
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: like all of them collectively. If you won the most
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: medals and you get to say you're the fastest personal
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: life though hundred meters you like in track, it's like
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: that's the one. It doesn't matter what you do in
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: the other events. If you win that, you are the
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: fastest personal life. Okay, because we're we've derailed ourselves when
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: we're talking about this the most prestigious of all prestigious awards,
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: Like in in professional sports at America, there's also a hierarchy.
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: In my opinion, NFL MVP is not, for some reason,
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: as prestigious as I think it should be. Its NBA
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: MVP is a bigger deal than NFL MVP for some reason,
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: I think so. And I think it's ahead of the
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: NL and al MVPs in baseball, And yeah, well you've
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: got m vps in baseball, Cy Young award winners in baseball.
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: They're like, Cy Young might even be a bigger deal
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: in prestige then and then a the n LP for
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: whatever reason, it feels like and maybe it's because they're
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: it's like there's such a it's like quarterback pitcher. You're
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: such a singular position. You're right there in the middle. Derek,
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: you're the best at it.
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: Derek on the text line says, if notoriety is what
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: you're looking at, Heisman is what you want because they
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: are a very limited amount of people that get to
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: be a winner. The biggest honor is of gold medal
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: because of what it represents. Even some nonsports fans can
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: tell you who won gold medals, which is true. It's
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: more of a cultural phenomenon, a cultural event, and being
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: a Heisman Trophy winner I'm sure holds weight in most rooms.
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: You know, you move on ten years after twenty years
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: after you win a Heisman Trophy. It's still something on
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: your LinkedIn page. It's still something that people are like,
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: oh wow, Heisman Trophy winner. You're still getting people buy
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: you dinners and drinks and things like that. You probably
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: have speaking engagements because of it. But I don't know
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: that it translates for everyone because not everyone watches college football.
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: For a gold medal.
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: Even if people didn't watch you win the gold medal,
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: everyone knows what a gold medal means. So Tbusa and
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: Canada zero zero one shot on goal so far for
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: the Americans, or about three minutes into this thing, Gold
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: medal game USA versus Canada? Is is hockey? Is the
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: hockey gold medal men or women? Is that the most
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: prestigious of the winter It's hard, it's harder to put
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: my finger on what this is in Winter Olympics.
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: I just put the question out on Twitter.
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: In the Winter Olympics, what is the What is the
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: ultimate honor of all honors? Like the sports are so
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: widely ranging, and they're so vastly different, and let's be honest,
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: outside of hockey, none of them are year round interests.
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: In the summer Olympics, there are people who care about
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: cycling all year. They care about track all year, they
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: care about tennis, basketball, tennis, soccer. There's a bunch of
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: America like like Winter Olympic sports where you look at
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: it and you're just like, well, like, hockey is my thing.
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: I like hockey. And then you get into the real
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: niche stuff. There's people who are super into into skiing.
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: There's ski bums. Even if you're a ski bum, it
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: doesn't necessarily mean you like to sit down and watch
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: ski racing.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean.
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, skiing is an experienced sport. Bob sled I don't
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: even know if there's like a pro bob slid circuit.
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: I don't know how they qual. I don't know anything
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: about it. We know some of that build up, some
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: of that process for these other sports. So if you
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: have a suggestion eight seven seven three five three zero
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: seven hundred or at reloc sports, what is the most
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: prestigious of all Winter Olympic gold medals?
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: Figure skating? We care about it deeply.
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: For four nights every four years it's on primetime. You're
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: just like, well, look at these glamorous individuals with their
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: sparkly sequined outfits and they're so graceful, and then they
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: fall and you're just like, oh my gosh, how do
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: you mess up on a triple toe loop?
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: You stink?
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: You know, Like all of these things go with the
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: Olympic cycle. I also want to talk more like quad mortal,
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: quad blob. Maybe I want to talk about he is
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: a gold medalist in these in this year's Olympics. We'll
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: make that clear. I wanta Mikayla Schiffrin was like the
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: show on Primetime last night. Primetime Olympics, right, and we
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: knew because of the time disparity. We knew that she
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: had won a gold medal before we sat down and
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: watched it. But I still sat down and watched it
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: my two older daughters. I made sure that we all
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: sat down and watched it together. I'm becoming a weirdo
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: with that. I think it's important for my daughters to
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: see like female athletics success.
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: Also, also, is.
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: That very that sounds like very dad, head of the
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: household thing, like we're all sitting at we're gonna do this,
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: We're gonna we're gonna sit down and we're gonna watch
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: the United States of America claim a gold medal.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: But I was. I was.
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: And this is why the Olympics are different than other sports, right,
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: This is where the human interest drives so much because
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: you're not passionate about the sport itself.
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: So what you decide that you want to care about are.
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: The the individuals, the talent, the stories behind their success
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: or their failures. There They're like no person came into
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: twenty twenty six thinking like I really hope we have
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: a couple of forty year old mothers win Mono Bob medals.
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: I hope we go gold bronze. But then you watch
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: it unfold and you're like, wait a second. We have
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: two women in the motto Bob, the individual bob sled
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: event that are mothers either pushing forty or over forty
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: with their kids, Like they're at the Olympic Games, having
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: to change diapers and do all that stuff, and they're
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: winning medals, and suddenly you care about that story. Well,
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: Mikayla Schiffern has been a celebrity, an Olympic celebrity, and
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: you guys know exactly what that means, right. It's kind
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: of like Simone Biles. It's kind of like Michael Phelps.
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: It's these people that you realize, how asked by the way,
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: might might have the all around title, might might be
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: competing with the one hundred meter title. You're absolutely right,
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: But like, if there's a hierarchy, it might be the
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: sprinting events in track. If you had to put Brno
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: down the four, it's like the sprinting events in track gymnastics.
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: I guess we'd have to decide which like the individual
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: freestyle medley, or maybe maybe we care more about relay
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: and we'd have to decide which swimming event is the
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: biggest swimming event, and I don't even know if there
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: is a number four in the Summer Olympics, it's it.
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: I mean, I would think that it's men's basketball. But
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: Mikayla Schiffrin is this internet slash Olympics celebrity, right and
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: the human interest piece of her story which a lot
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: of people get wrapped up in because you know, she's
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: she's got a bunch of endorsement contract, she's a beautiful
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: human and she's, you know, was very successful as a teenager,
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: which we always like this about the Vunderkins story in sports.
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: There was a moment yesterday where I did not want
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: I wanted the human interest focus. I wanted the perform
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: for your country and represent the United States, and I
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: wanted it all to go away. And that tells you
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: how great the storytelling is at the Olympics, and what
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: a wonderful job the NBC broadcast did. And I suppose
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: because I was watching it in primetime, it might have
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: looked a little bit different on that than it did live.
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: But you got to give credit to everyone involved. There
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: was I wanted the camera to be off of Mikhayela
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: schifferin after she started talking about the reason she was emotional,
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: and I wanted to I'm becoming a huge softie. I
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: wanted to cut away. I wanted to not talk about her.
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: I want it. It was very obvious that she won
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: that gold medal. It was kind of a redemption story
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: for her. The reaction, the emotional reaction, whether it's elation
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: or whatever, was extremely delayed. And then they did this
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: thing where they zoomed in on her and they super
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: slow mode. She wasn't talking to anybody, she was talking
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: to herself. They super slow mode and tried to lip
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: read what she was saying and what the broadcast to do.
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: She was saying was dad. And it broke my heart
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: watching this thing. It made me so sad, in like
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: a triumphant, melancholy sad way. It like dare I admit
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: I got super tear eyed, probably because I'm a dad
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: of daughters. And the broadcast again had done a great
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: job talking about how she unexpectedly lost her father a
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: few years ago, and then in the post race interview,
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: she talked about how she was afraid of the moments
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: of winning.
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: She talked about how hard it was for her to.
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: Anticipate winning and be excited about winning and having that
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: moment because a lot of these things and I'm paraphrasing
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: rather than directly quoting, because a lot of these things
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: for her are first without her dad. And that was again,
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: it's such beautiful storytelling. They did such a great job
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: with it, and they did I think, a very respectful
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: job of it.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: But gosh, dang man, that was heavy.
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: In a way that is not negative and not like
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: me trying to be critical of what they were doing.
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: It's quite the opposite.
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: But I wanted to not be intruding on that moment
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: for her, even as I also wanted to know exactly
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: what the situation was and exactly what her emotions were.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: Right that is.
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: I mean, people probably don't fully realize how emmys are
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: handed out and how like certain broadcasts will be given
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: like like that show has been given an award or whatever,
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: and live television is a lot harder to award and
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: to break down then some other stuff that you got
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: in like scripted television shows in that.
• 23:38
  Speaker 5: But that for me was like the.
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: Most award worthy Olympic moment we've seen from a broadcasting perspective,
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: have we seen as impressive athletic feats. Probably yes, sure,
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: can't really tell you how hard it is to win
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: a gold medal in Swalom, have no idea. Was it
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: great to see her get back on top of a podium, wonderful, yes.
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: But the most impactful, dramatic, compelling part of that was
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: after she won the race, the five or six minutes
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: of reaction and getting her thoughts on her reaction, and
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: you could tell it wasn't it didn't seem like emotionally
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: difficult for her to talk to the reporter. It seemed
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: like intellectually difficult for her to put into words exactly
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: how she was feeling and what she was feeling, because
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: you know, it was it was like that massive of
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: a moment in her life juxtaposed against something that she
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: You know, most Olympians, it's the dream come true.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: It's different if.
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: You've won gold medals before, I assume, then if you've
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: achieved that goal for the first time. And she was
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: reflecting on the fact that this is a different experience
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: for me now than when I won gold medals when
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: I'm eighteen years old or whatever, you know, from eight
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: years ago, when my life was different. When the people
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: that are going to be waiting for me to congratulate me.
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: Somewhat important is not going to be there. And they're
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: showing the on the broadcast. They're showing like the footage
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: of her when she's four years old on skis for
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: the first time and all that stuff, and they're telling you, yeah,
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: her dad put her on skis and look what it's
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: done for her life. And then she's like, you're seeing
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: this moment where she's seemingly I mean, she told the reporter,
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: I was thinking of my dad. I wanted to talk
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: to my dad, and I was just like, I'm sitting
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: next to my wife.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: She looks over him, and she was like, what's wrong
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: with you?
• 25:38
  Speaker 5: Do you know what's going on on the TV right now?
• 25:40
  Speaker 5: That's what's wrong with that?
• 25:41
  Speaker 6: Is?
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: I mean, that is such that like when I watch sports,
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: even though I'm in sports broadcasting, when I watch sports,
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: I watch it for the sport. I'm not watching it
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: to hear another play by play person. I'm not watching
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: it for the sideline reporter. I'm not watching this USA
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: Canada gold medal game on mute because I'm interested in
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: the camera work. I'm watching sports for the sport, for
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: the competition. Olympics are a rare exception to that. They
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: pull you out of that because I don't know. I
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: cannot tell you if the slalom skiing was good or bad.
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: I can't tell you if her time she'd beat everyone
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: by like a second and a half. I can't tell
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: you how I magnificent that is, or how pedestrian that
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: is or whatever. But those those few minutes after she
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: won the gold and had that redemption story that was
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: that was like a three hour movie for me of
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: the emotional roller coaster, and it just if you haven't
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: watched it, find it, especially if you're a parent, especially
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: if you're a dad with daughters.
• 26:51
  Speaker 5: Find it.
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: And if you're a sensitive Sally like me, you might
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: end up with some waterworks. Yeah, I'll just say I'll
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: say small thing with this too. I unfortunately can relate
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: in a lot of ways because I've lost both my parents,
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: and I can't relate in that being a world class
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: athlete and winning and what that's like. But just having
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: having our first child, I didn't have like anticipation of like,
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: what's what's this going to be like? Not being able
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: to share him with them, But I did afterwards have
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: this like profound feeling of what if. Certainly it was
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: certainly a form of depression that I did not anticipate
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: because because I'm like, I'm seeing my in laws having
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: such a great experience being able to share our child
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: with them grandparents and aunts.
• 27:55
  Speaker 5: And uncles, and.
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: Being like, I without realizing it, being like I'm not.
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: I'm I should be over the moon right now, but
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: I'm feeling I'm feeling pretty sad that I can't do
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: this with my own family right So.
• 28:15
  Speaker 5: It really is a.
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: It really is something, And I totally get her trying
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: to choose her words carefully in that in that time,
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: because it's like, it's really hard to put into words,
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: how do you articulate, especially in the moment, like you're
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: you're still breathing hard from the exertion of the run,
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: it's still sinking in. There's thousands of people around, and
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: then you like, I don't know how well, I don't
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: know what the chemistry's like between these correspondent reporters and
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: the athletes themselves. I have no idea what kind of relationship,
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: but it could be like a a stranger it's walking
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: up to you and just being like, hey, how do
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: you feel about this like deep intimate detail of your
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: life now crashing into your Olympic success and you put
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: a microphone for it. Was just like, that is high drama.
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: That is compelling television. That was and I think MICHAELA
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: handled it nearly perfectly. I think that the broadcast team
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: did the same thing. And I rarely feel that way
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: if I'm even noticing that kind of stuff, I'm rarely
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: noticing of it, noticing it because it is so dang great. Yeah,
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: and it was, Yeah, and I I didn't I didn't
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: know that was part of her story. So yeah, it's
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: I think for someone like me and everyone who's who's
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: lost parents, whether you're a world class athlete or not,
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: that really touches you. And even if you haven't, like
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: you said, there's different reasons why that would still touch
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: you like it's you.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 29:48
  Speaker 5: So yeah, this is that's what's great about the Olympics.
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: It's beyond what's compelling, is beyond the fact that she
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: hadn't won in two Olympic cycles. Absolutely right, and that's
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: it's awesome that we that she shared was willing to
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: share that moment with us, and other sports do a
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: great job trying to find the human interest pieces as well.
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: We're coming off a year where Indiana, of all teams,
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: won a national championship, and the Fernando Mendoza like the
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: family story of his mom with MS like, they did
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: a really really good job of all that, but it's
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: not the thing that carries the whole story, right because
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: it's football, and we know football, and we care about football,
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: and we would be impressed with Fernanda Mendoza even if
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: he was an absolute turd of a human being, because
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: he's a good football player. And in the Olympics you
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: don't have that benefit. Maybe with hockey you do, and
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: I guess potentially with track runners you do. Because we
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: can recognize what's fast. When it comes to these sports
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: that we don't know as much about, we don't care
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: as much about every day of our lives, the human
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: interest piece becomes so valuable.
• 30:54
  Speaker 5: I mean, the figure skating thing.
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: You got scandal on the ice dancing, and you got
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: pairs that have broken up for controversial reasons and all
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: that stuff.
• 31:03
  Speaker 5: That's why you care that France won, not because.
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: Well maybe just because you tuned in and you saw
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: what those French people looked like, and you're like Okay,
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: I care about that now. Anyway, we got lots to
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: talk about today. Gordia Chaz is here in studio with us.
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: We'll get into some NBA stuff. We'll get into some

• 32:32
  Speaker 2: Showing I'm doing well? Thank you.
• 32:35
  Speaker 4: Before we get to any basketball discussion, James and I
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: are trying to decide. We're trying to decide of the
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: Winter Olympic gold medals, which is the most prestigious. We
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: decided that in the Summer Games, you know, fastest man,
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: fastest woman on the planet, that's probably up there, maybe gymnastics,
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: all around. In the Winter Olympics, is there a gold
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: medal that stands out above all others?
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: Hockey? Okay, that's hockey.
• 33:02
  Speaker 7: Yeah, all right, Because the team sport you mentionedly for
• 33:06
  Speaker 7: I said you coming in, is that all these other
• 33:09
  Speaker 7: sports are individual and most people unless you're officiado of
• 33:14
  Speaker 7: that sport, don't understand totally of it. Sure, but in
• 33:17
  Speaker 7: the Summer Olympics they absolutely do. Also in the Summer Olympics, besides,
• 33:21
  Speaker 7: the fastest person in the world, male or female is
• 33:24
  Speaker 7: also the marathon.
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like who wins the marathon?
• 33:28
  Speaker 7: And the swimming like who's the fastest swimmers in the world,
• 33:32
  Speaker 7: only different events because everyone can basically can swim or
• 33:35
  Speaker 7: try to swim, and so that's why it's more really
• 33:38
  Speaker 7: more easy to relate to.
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: Love some Olympics still zero zero by the way, in
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: the women's hockey gold medal game between USA and Canada.
• 33:48
  Speaker 5: All right, we've.
• 33:49
  Speaker 7: Shown also a long time ago in nineteen eightyen was
• 33:52
  Speaker 7: when the Miracle on ice. Yes, that was when really
• 33:55
  Speaker 7: again America's consciousness understood about the Olympics again, and it
• 34:00
  Speaker 7: was pep forget that they beat the Russia.
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: It was they beat Russia.
• 34:05
  Speaker 7: USA b Russia to college players, beat the professional team
• 34:08
  Speaker 7: of Russia basically nineteen eighty and then had to beat
• 34:11
  Speaker 7: Sweden to win the goal. So that was I was
• 34:13
  Speaker 7: at the semi finals to beat Russia.
• 34:15
  Speaker 4: And that was such an interesting time where I mean, obviously,
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: the same thing is happening at these Milan Olympics, where
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: the game is played and then if you want, you
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: could watch the primetime replay of it or whatever. That
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: huge upset victory no one in the United States saw
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: till the next day. Basically that's correct, yes, and the
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: Heroics had already unfolded, and then whatever it was twenty
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: hours later. It became a thing in the United States
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: of America, and obviously Cold War tensions all those times
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: ruin the I mean, it's well documented.
• 34:52
  Speaker 5: There's a feature film about it, but it's one of
• 34:55
  Speaker 5: those things.
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: It's like a rewatchable movie, Gordy, where you hear that story,
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: you read something about that miracle team, and even though
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: you already know it, you want to hear it again,
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: you want to read it again, you want to listen
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: to it again very much.
• 35:08
  Speaker 7: It's hard to believe for the younger listeners right now,
• 35:11
  Speaker 7: is that showings alluding to that game was shown it
• 35:15
  Speaker 7: half a day later, only second to the NBA when
• 35:19
  Speaker 7: the when NBA Finals in nineteen eighty, it weren't shown live.
• 35:24
  Speaker 7: So the classic game in nineteen eighty Game six, where
• 35:28
  Speaker 7: young rookie Irvin Magic Johnson was playing center because Kream
• 35:33
  Speaker 7: Abdul Jabbar of the Lakers had a sprained ankle and
• 35:35
  Speaker 7: they're playing against the Philadelphia seventy six is and at
• 35:39
  Speaker 7: that time there was CBS Sports doing the NBA. They
• 35:42
  Speaker 7: didn't want to cut into the local eleven o'clock news
• 35:45
  Speaker 7: because of the revenue, so they waited until the game
• 35:48
  Speaker 7: was over and then delayed for literally three hours to
• 35:51
  Speaker 7: show it eleven thirty at night back east. So everyone
• 35:55
  Speaker 7: knew who won the game, but it wasn't shown. That's
• 35:58
  Speaker 7: how much advanced technology we have now. Now it's every
• 36:03
  Speaker 7: game is shown absolutely live and everybody knows the score
• 36:07
  Speaker 7: as the second's going on each day.
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: It's amazing.
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: Only one returning player from that on that nineteen eighty roster.
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: By the way, nineteen seventy six, Buzz Schneider was on
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: the team. He was the only guy who came back.
• 36:19
  Speaker 4: It was all these young kids. Go watch the movie.
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: Just refresh yourself. It was awesome.
• 36:24
  Speaker 5: All right, let's get into some NBA hoops right now.
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: We talked about this on Tuesday with the NBA All
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: Star weekend. Now in the rear view, there's a renewed focus.
• 36:35
  Speaker 4: There might be some adjustments on your plans with your
• 36:38
  Speaker 4: roster or your your practice schedule, whatever, how do you
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: manage the end of the season, specifically if you're the
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: Utah Jazz.
• 36:46
  Speaker 7: Gordy Well for the Jazz right now hits some priorities
• 36:49
  Speaker 7: as far as both on the court and also as
• 36:53
  Speaker 7: far as management trying to see how it plays out.
• 36:57
  Speaker 7: One they've got it from on the court. They've got
• 37:00
  Speaker 7: to improve their defensive accountability as they go forward. So
• 37:05
  Speaker 7: the last twenty six games of the season focusing on
• 37:09
  Speaker 7: defense and besides technique, but also accountability. The second thing,
• 37:14
  Speaker 7: and that starts with also on ball defense one on
• 37:18
  Speaker 7: one part of that defensively improvement, challenging three point line.
• 37:24
  Speaker 7: The third part of that would be transition d It
• 37:26
  Speaker 7: starts with shot selection and it also is involved with
• 37:30
  Speaker 7: live ball turnovers. So the Jazz can improve their defense
• 37:34
  Speaker 7: the last twenty six games to go forward for next
• 37:36
  Speaker 7: season because next year, the Jazz have some good players
• 37:40
  Speaker 7: on their roster right now, and with Jaron Jackson and
• 37:43
  Speaker 7: with walcomekes Comb back next year, if the Jazz do
• 37:46
  Speaker 7: re sign him, he's a secret free agent right now,
• 37:48
  Speaker 7: the Jazz will be right there. As far as you know,
• 37:51
  Speaker 7: Batlan fighting minimum showing to get into the playing tournament,
• 37:55
  Speaker 7: if not into the playoffs, it's possible. Next part about
• 37:58
  Speaker 7: that play a space through his game errors. He's one
• 38:02
  Speaker 7: of the friend the franchise foundational pieces. He's only nineteen
• 38:06
  Speaker 7: years old. So these has a few bad plays, keep
• 38:09
  Speaker 7: playing and you might take him out for a minute
• 38:11
  Speaker 7: or two, try to counsel him, but put him back
• 38:14
  Speaker 7: in the game because that guy has got talent. Also
• 38:18
  Speaker 7: next to the next part of that on the court,
• 38:20
  Speaker 7: be conscious of pairing Isaiah Kaliah and Kiante Dee George
• 38:24
  Speaker 7: together all right as far as floor minutes. So Caante
• 38:29
  Speaker 7: is a guard. He can score the ball and he
• 38:31
  Speaker 7: can pass it and he's he's a tremendous talent. And
• 38:36
  Speaker 7: Isaiah Kalia is a pass happy point guard. So try
• 38:40
  Speaker 7: to make them besties where both of them are playing
• 38:43
  Speaker 7: together and locks up be some of the game, and
• 38:46
  Speaker 7: then keep developing the bench. Bryce Senserba, Vince Williams and
• 38:51
  Speaker 7: Kyle Philipowski. Those guys are bench contributors, so try to
• 38:57
  Speaker 7: play them as a unit. They get used to playing.
• 39:01
  Speaker 7: Whoever's on the team next year. Those three guys, their
• 39:04
  Speaker 7: contracts are absolutely a team friendly and the old they
• 39:07
  Speaker 7: all value and their value is coming off the bench goes.
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: All three have a certain skill that they have.
• 39:14
  Speaker 7: So for example, Philipowski, that guy hustles, he plays hard,
• 39:18
  Speaker 7: bright sense of ball when he has the ball. If
• 39:20
  Speaker 7: you have a good feeling he's this year, is this
• 39:23
  Speaker 7: team's generation right now of Jordan Clarkson he can score
• 39:27
  Speaker 7: the ball, and Vince Williams he's like a utility guy,
• 39:30
  Speaker 7: almost like Joe Ingles type without the jump shot though
• 39:34
  Speaker 7: right now, but as far as versatility of passing it.
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: So that'sh be the Jazz highest priorities right now. And
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: if you do.
• 39:41
  Speaker 7: That, they're going to improve next season by getting ready
• 39:45
  Speaker 7: for it the less one third of the season. They
• 39:48
  Speaker 7: want to protect their pick this year, absolutely, so they
• 39:52
  Speaker 7: want to go from they want to finish eight or lower.
• 39:57
  Speaker 4: Okay, So with that in mind, and that oddly, strangely
• 40:00
  Speaker 4: has to be kind of your number one priority even
• 40:02
  Speaker 4: as you're trying to do all this other stuff, you
• 40:05
  Speaker 4: simply cannot afford to give that pick away, especially because
• 40:08
  Speaker 4: it would convey to Oklahoma City, who's already going to
• 40:11
  Speaker 4: be a problem for you for the foreseeable future. So
• 40:14
  Speaker 4: how delicate is the balance of trying to do all
• 40:18
  Speaker 4: the things that you just described while also you know,
• 40:21
  Speaker 4: losing games in a gentlemanly fashioned.
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: Very delicate?
• 40:27
  Speaker 7: Yes, So the tempo of the game, the rhythm, the
• 40:31
  Speaker 7: flow of the contest, that's when you have to decide
• 40:36
  Speaker 7: by instincts, by taking someone out or putting someone in
• 40:40
  Speaker 7: that you want to be competitive, but you really want
• 40:44
  Speaker 7: to protect that pick. And so that's just going to
• 40:47
  Speaker 7: be interesting. How do you do it by people very
• 40:50
  Speaker 7: conscious on the sideline addressing the head coach that think
• 40:54
  Speaker 7: about taking so and so out or putting so and
• 40:56
  Speaker 7: so in. I have a real problem with the NBA
• 40:58
  Speaker 7: of finding the Jazz dred thousand dollars. You know, I
• 41:02
  Speaker 7: was done last week because the team's right now, every
• 41:05
  Speaker 7: team is going through it that's trying to stay in
• 41:07
  Speaker 7: the lottery. We mentioned he's the teams. There's eight teams
• 41:12
  Speaker 7: and maybe in nineteen Wizards, Pacers, Nets, Grizzlies, MAVs, Jazz, Pelicans,
• 41:18
  Speaker 7: and Kings and maybe the Bucks. Maybe the Bucks could
• 41:23
  Speaker 7: because of be honest, all none of those teams. They're
• 41:26
  Speaker 7: trying to stay in the lottery and improve their chances
• 41:30
  Speaker 7: of getting high draft picks. So that's the balancing act
• 41:33
  Speaker 7: right now. And you mentioned for about we mentioned their
• 41:36
  Speaker 7: day Sean, you and I about Mark Cuban where he
• 41:39
  Speaker 7: said that he has no problem with the team quote.
• 41:43
  Speaker 7: The expression is tanking and it's ironically because the maps
• 41:46
  Speaker 7: right now, Mark Cuban still owns the Maps of twenty
• 41:49
  Speaker 7: seventh sent interests. He sold the rest of it to
• 41:52
  Speaker 7: the to the to the family that owns Casara Casino
• 41:57
  Speaker 7: Corporation Worldwide. And Maps right now have lost nine of
• 42:01
  Speaker 7: the row. And the Kings Sewan have lost fourteen games
• 42:04
  Speaker 7: in a row.
• 42:05
  Speaker 4: And they just shut down Levine and Sabonis with real
• 42:11
  Speaker 4: injuries though with injuries surgeries.
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no they have.
• 42:14
  Speaker 4: So your two best players, two highest paid players, are
• 42:17
  Speaker 4: shut down, correct, Kings.
• 42:18
  Speaker 7: And so they the Kings right now, they're they're they're
• 42:21
  Speaker 7: very conscious of right now the draft and this draft
• 42:25
  Speaker 7: should be very deep. Who's the best guy in the draft?
• 42:28
  Speaker 7: Will I'll take it about three years from now when
• 42:29
  Speaker 7: they're in the NBA.
• 42:31
  Speaker 5: And I mean that that's it makes sense.
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: It's it's really the truth.
• 42:35
  Speaker 7: For example, Cooper Flegg last year was by far the
• 42:38
  Speaker 7: number one player in the in the draft. Okay, so
• 42:42
  Speaker 7: now he goes to the Dallas Mavericks. I know Cyrie Irving,
• 42:45
  Speaker 7: who's the All Star player, didn't play the whole season.
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: But Cooper Flegg, and.
• 42:50
  Speaker 7: If he asks him right now with truth serum, he
• 42:52
  Speaker 7: can't believe how good the other guys in the NBA are,
• 42:55
  Speaker 7: even though he knows about it, his whole thing. He
• 42:57
  Speaker 7: can't believe it how good the other guys are. And
• 42:59
  Speaker 7: that's why that happens. It's who you play against. So
• 43:02
  Speaker 7: in Jazz basketball long term, that the Jazz have a
• 43:06
  Speaker 7: tough division. The Jazz right now a one and non
• 43:09
  Speaker 7: divisional play. So here's the question showing just philosophically that
• 43:13
  Speaker 7: the Jazz have to find somebody for the next on
• 43:17
  Speaker 7: their roster right now, but also if not trade or
• 43:20
  Speaker 7: developed to play against Nikolai Jokic for the next will
• 43:24
  Speaker 7: say four years where Yokist is prime, and that the
• 43:27
  Speaker 7: Jazz have to find somebody that could guard Jamal Murray
• 43:30
  Speaker 7: in his prime the t Wolves. Okay, here's the question philosophically,
• 43:35
  Speaker 7: can Ace Bailly slow down the tvOS perimeter guys as
• 43:40
  Speaker 7: far as in the game, meaning Anthony Edwards because that's
• 43:43
  Speaker 7: its same age group, Yeah, twenty something, And so the
• 43:47
  Speaker 7: answer is the Jazz they're hopeful that Ace can, but
• 43:51
  Speaker 7: if not, they have to get someone else to help that.
• 43:53
  Speaker 7: Maybe it's Vince Williams for eleven minutes in that game
• 43:55
  Speaker 7: they try to slow him down, But that it's who
• 43:57
  Speaker 7: you play against in the NBA. It's not well, we're
• 44:00
  Speaker 7: going to get better our team. That's true, but you
• 44:03
  Speaker 7: have to understand that the other guys might not cooperate when.
• 44:06
  Speaker 4: You start framing the conversation about jazz improvement in that way.
• 44:11
  Speaker 4: That's where it gets so sobering to know that, like, yeah, man,
• 44:14
  Speaker 4: you've got a really nice thing going on. You just
• 44:16
  Speaker 4: you just acquired a defensive mind at All Star, Right,
• 44:19
  Speaker 4: you have these these nice little pieces, and then you
• 44:22
  Speaker 4: look around at what other teams have and the superstar
• 44:24
  Speaker 4: talent that other teams have, and it gets dicey, gets terrifying.
• 44:28
  Speaker 7: So, for example, with Jared Jackson off the surgery next season,
• 44:32
  Speaker 7: he's a good player, all right, So the question is
• 44:35
  Speaker 7: can he slow down Victor wemby Amber The Jets paid
• 44:38
  Speaker 7: him four times a year. Can he can he slow
• 44:41
  Speaker 7: him down and outplay him both on defense and offense
• 44:45
  Speaker 7: three or four times?
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: That's the question philosophically.
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: When you're asking that about Victor Webbin Yamo, it's like
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: makes you want to throw your hands up and say, well, no,
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: that's you can't.
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: But that's that's not an option in this.
• 44:57
  Speaker 7: Not an option exactly right, whether it's in individual one
• 45:00
  Speaker 7: on one prideful defense or yourself offensively scoring the ball
• 45:05
  Speaker 7: where you're really your aggressor that night against wen Byamba.
• 45:09
  Speaker 7: And then also schematically and if you're struggling that game,
• 45:13
  Speaker 7: can you trusted sidekick on the court. Can he outplay
• 45:16
  Speaker 7: his position to give give you organized help so that
• 45:20
  Speaker 7: we as a group, we as a front court, we
• 45:22
  Speaker 7: as a backcourt, we all played that team on the
• 45:25
  Speaker 7: road and we beat them by one, and that's all
• 45:27
  Speaker 7: it matters. I always say for decades, kill them by one.
• 45:30
  Speaker 7: Because you won the game, you move on. So it's
• 45:33
  Speaker 7: way beyond just one player. You need trusted sidekicks to
• 45:37
  Speaker 7: help you be successful.
• 45:39
  Speaker 5: Zero zero.
• 45:40
  Speaker 4: At the first intermission, USA versus Canada and the gold
• 45:43
  Speaker 4: medal game, the USA will start the second period with
• 45:46
  Speaker 4: about a minute forty five of a power play, so
• 45:51
  Speaker 4: advantage to begin the second period for Team USA.
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: Gordy Seun.
• 45:56
  Speaker 7: But I have a thing about the you and I
• 45:59
  Speaker 7: talked about it depth the other day. But I thought
• 46:01
  Speaker 7: about this and I read it online, so it's not original,
• 46:05
  Speaker 7: but I edited to it.
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: Where how can the.
• 46:08
  Speaker 7: The viewership was great for the All Star Weekend by NBC.
• 46:11
  Speaker 7: It was the best numbers since fifteen years ago. So
• 46:15
  Speaker 7: it's good, yes, So how can they make it even better?
• 46:18
  Speaker 7: And a potential one on one tournament or two on
• 46:22
  Speaker 7: two tournament. So I had the liberty where I have
• 46:25
  Speaker 7: my own ESPN seven one hundred led by yours truly,
• 46:30
  Speaker 7: Sean O'Connell and also James Peterson. This is our potential
• 46:34
  Speaker 7: tournament for the NBA two on two because most one
• 46:39
  Speaker 7: on one players in the All Star they don't want
• 46:41
  Speaker 7: to be embarrassed or someone beat them.
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: This is two on two.
• 46:44
  Speaker 4: Okay, that's what's coming. We're gonna take a quick break.
• 46:47
  Speaker 4: Gordy's gonna come back. He's giving us his two on
• 46:49
  Speaker 4: two matchups to improve NBA All Star weekend. And if
• 46:52
  Speaker 4: one of those matchups is not me and Gordy, I'm
• 46:55
  Speaker 4: gonna be really upset. Shato O'Connell show with Gordy Chiasa.
• 46:58
  Speaker 4: We got them for another forty minutes or so. It's
• 47:00
  Speaker 4: ESPN seven hundred ninety two one FM.
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: Tune to the Sean O'Connell Show from the Murdoch Chevrolet
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: Studio of ESPN seven hundred and ninety two one AFM.
• 47:26
  Speaker 4: S Don O'Connell Show, ESPN seven hundred ninety two one
• 47:28
  Speaker 4: FM Gordy Chaser here in studio with us USA Canada

  Speaker 4: zero after one USA starts period number two on the
• 47:42
  Speaker 4: Power Play, Gordy Chiasa. We did talk on Tuesday about
• 47:47
  Speaker 4: the improved NBA All Star Weekend, the different format uh
• 47:50
  Speaker 4: certain players forcing some buy in from everyone else, everyone
• 47:54
  Speaker 4: being competitive. We're gonna get to more of that in
• 47:56
  Speaker 4: the hot lunch provided by our friends over at Burger
• 47:58
  Speaker 4: Fusion new spot at Trolley Square. I have not yet
• 48:02
  Speaker 4: taken a bite of this merleow Berger, but I will
• 48:04
  Speaker 4: tell you it has Bellavitano cheese on it, which very fancy.
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: I am a big fan of this cheese. It's my
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: favorite cheese.
• 48:11
  Speaker 4: Also, the rosemary fries, which I have taken bites of intoxicating,
• 48:17
  Speaker 4: the smell incredible and not too heavy on the rosemary
• 48:22
  Speaker 4: beef tallow fries again perfect crisp. And this container that
• 48:28
  Speaker 4: Mike and company have put them in is designed to
• 48:31
  Speaker 4: allow the steam to escape, so the fries stay hot
• 48:35
  Speaker 4: because they continue to share warmth with one another, but
• 48:39
  Speaker 4: they don't get soggy by steaming in that to go
• 48:42
  Speaker 4: containers so Burger Fusion right around the corner from Whole
• 48:45
  Speaker 4: Foods at Trolley Square. Telemosi sent you. I promise you
• 48:49
  Speaker 4: will not regret trying this new place out. It is incredible.
• 48:53
  Speaker 4: Everything we've had from them so far sides Burgers have
• 48:56
  Speaker 4: been fantastic. And I, yes, I did, Mom, Dad, I
• 49:00
  Speaker 4: did offer to share some with Gordy. Okay, I would
• 49:03
  Speaker 4: not be so impolite as to just make Gordy stand
• 49:05
  Speaker 4: here to smell this delicious food without eating any Right, Cordi,
• 49:09
  Speaker 4: you can co sign that at least I offered.
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: Oh very much. I do appreciate the offer, but thank you.
• 49:14
  Speaker 4: But Gordy's a man of refined taste and he's not
• 49:17
  Speaker 4: gonna He's not gonna have fries.
• 49:20
  Speaker 5: Right after his breakfast.
• 49:21
  Speaker 4: All right, Gordy, the improved NBA All Star Weekend, I
• 49:26
  Speaker 4: think it's safe to call it that is not a
• 49:28
  Speaker 4: finished product by any means. The NBA still wants to
• 49:31
  Speaker 4: see what else they could add to draw viewers, draw interest,
• 49:35
  Speaker 4: spark new viewers and interest, and a one on one
• 49:39
  Speaker 4: or two on two tournament has been one of the
• 49:42
  Speaker 4: things proposed. First of all, what do you think.
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: Of this great idea? Players?
• 49:46
  Speaker 7: Love it, and it'll be very highly competitive. So here's
• 49:49
  Speaker 7: what I thought about no tea. Here's some of the
• 49:52
  Speaker 7: just the criteria. No teammates played together, so you can't play. Example,
• 49:57
  Speaker 7: Jamal Murray and Nikolai Jogurch couldn't play as a a
• 50:00
  Speaker 7: pair in the two on two tournament. Each player has
• 50:06
  Speaker 7: to be from the East and a Western conference, So
• 50:08
  Speaker 7: two guys from the same conference could not play. So
• 50:11
  Speaker 7: you're playing with someone from a different conference, and that
• 50:14
  Speaker 7: you would pair together perimeter guys with one big guy
• 50:19
  Speaker 7: slash stretch. So for example, the simplified a person that's
• 50:22
  Speaker 7: a point guard to guard wing or say small forward.
• 50:27
  Speaker 7: The other pairent would be a player that would be
• 50:31
  Speaker 7: we'll call them a stretch outside player, meaning big or
• 50:34
  Speaker 7: maybe old school inside. All right, so there'll be twenty
• 50:38
  Speaker 7: four players, so there'd be twelve different duos. So for example,
• 50:44
  Speaker 7: can you imagine James and Sean and all the listeners
• 50:47
  Speaker 7: right now of ESPN Radio seven hundred, Shay Jills Alexander
• 50:51
  Speaker 7: pad with bam Adebado two, Jelen Brunson Nickerbocker's pad with
• 50:57
  Speaker 7: Luca Dantach three, Anthony Edwards paired with Jalen Durham of
• 51:04
  Speaker 7: the Pistons. Four fourth pairing, Kate Cunningham paired with Chet
• 51:10
  Speaker 7: hundred five, Donovan Mitchell paid with Nikolai Jokic, Yeah, six,
• 51:21
  Speaker 7: Jamal Murray paired with Joannis and the last one I
• 51:25
  Speaker 7: just talked thought about it was Jalen Brown of the
• 51:27
  Speaker 7: Celtics paired with Cooper Flag of the Maps.
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: Et cetera. So just think about it.
• 51:35
  Speaker 7: So I listed of seven pairings and there would be
• 51:39
  Speaker 7: a total of twelve, so it be five more. What's
• 51:42
  Speaker 7: your imagination? Think about it, and so it would be
• 51:45
  Speaker 7: highly competitive, and then there'll be different rules as far
• 51:48
  Speaker 7: as how many dribbles, what's how do you score? If
• 51:52
  Speaker 7: you get fouled, you get do you get foul shots?
• 51:54
  Speaker 7: If you make it make a three point? Is it
• 51:56
  Speaker 7: worth it? They could work that out, But as far
• 51:58
  Speaker 7: as it would be so much interest. And back in
• 52:02
  Speaker 7: the nineteen seventies they used to have an ABC did
• 52:05
  Speaker 7: the All Star Game. They had a one on one
• 52:07
  Speaker 7: tournament back in nineteen seventies, it was one on one.
• 52:11
  Speaker 7: Let's fast forward fifty five years later this would be
• 52:13
  Speaker 7: two on two. So I'm all for it, and I'm
• 52:16
  Speaker 7: assuming the players would be also, and you could eliminate
• 52:19
  Speaker 7: possibly maybe the skills challenge. So if it's two cumbersome,
• 52:24
  Speaker 7: take away the skills challenge and have this never take
• 52:28
  Speaker 7: away to dunk contest you want, but you want to
• 52:30
  Speaker 7: improve it, but also never to ever take away the
• 52:33
  Speaker 7: three point shooting because it's absolute lest the other night
• 52:37
  Speaker 7: when Deal when Damian Lillard outshot at the end, Devin Booker,
• 52:41
  Speaker 7: that was amazing, Gordy.
• 52:45
  Speaker 4: Would players be more excited about a two on two
• 52:48
  Speaker 4: or a one on one?
• 52:49
  Speaker 7: Well, I'm saying as a it'd be two on two
• 52:52
  Speaker 7: because one on one the players will be embarrassed if
• 52:55
  Speaker 7: someone beats them. Sure it's cutting dry. They're embarrassed. Two
• 52:59
  Speaker 7: on two, well, I played great was two on two.
• 53:02
  Speaker 7: So it's that's how players think.
• 53:05
  Speaker 4: It's interesting because I could see exactly what you're getting
• 53:09
  Speaker 4: to here, but I can also see it both ways, like, okay,
• 53:13
  Speaker 4: you share the blame, you share the glory anytime you're
• 53:15
  Speaker 4: in a team sport, right, and a two on two,
• 53:18
  Speaker 4: same situation in one on one. Right in the NBA,
• 53:23
  Speaker 4: it's already the collection of the best players on the planet.
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: Mono a mono, and now you've.
• 53:28
  Speaker 4: Crowned yourself as the best player in the game, and
• 53:32
  Speaker 4: we can all the debate that we have every year
• 53:37
  Speaker 4: is like, well, who's the best player in the NBA
• 53:38
  Speaker 4: right now? And most of the time we defer to
• 53:40
  Speaker 4: ever wins the MVP Award. But in this case, I
• 53:44
  Speaker 4: know it's a different game one on one basketball versus
• 53:47
  Speaker 4: five on five basketball, but you could at least have
• 53:50
  Speaker 4: somebody else, probably not the the NBA MVP claim that
• 53:54
  Speaker 4: elite one on one status.
• 53:55
  Speaker 5: I would like to see it.
• 53:57
  Speaker 4: I totally see why NBA players be reluctant to sign
• 54:01
  Speaker 4: up for it.
• 54:02
  Speaker 7: You're fascinating, and I'm sure the NBA, they're very progressive league,
• 54:07
  Speaker 7: they would think about to make it even more more sensational.
• 54:10
  Speaker 7: And NBC now being a partner where they own the
• 54:13
  Speaker 7: rights to the All Star Game, is that they're all
• 54:17
  Speaker 7: for this. And when I view shifts up fifth for
• 54:19
  Speaker 7: the first time in the highest level in fifteen years,
• 54:22
  Speaker 7: that means they can create more revenue and that's all
• 54:24
  Speaker 7: part of the NBA partnership.
• 54:26
  Speaker 4: How often does a team have a you know, a
• 54:29
  Speaker 4: situation where you know, practice is over or shoot around
• 54:32
  Speaker 4: or whatever, and a guy's like me, and you one
• 54:34
  Speaker 4: on one will play the five whatever.
• 54:36
  Speaker 5: Does that happen a lot?
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 54:37
  Speaker 7: Oh that's an understatement. The answer is absolutely yes. And
• 54:40
  Speaker 7: also two on two where hey, usually it's two young
• 54:43
  Speaker 7: fellas challenge will say two veterans. Yeah, we'll play you guys.
• 54:48
  Speaker 7: It happens all the time, maybe almost, if not every practice,
• 54:55
  Speaker 7: every other practice, wow, really, oh very much frequently?
• 54:59
  Speaker 5: Oh?
• 54:59
  Speaker 2: Absolutely? Is the coaching staff?
• 55:01
  Speaker 4: Is it generally you generally encourage that or do you
• 55:04
  Speaker 4: worry about it getting to chippy your feelings being hurt?
• 55:07
  Speaker 4: I mean, what's the coach's role in a situation like that,
• 55:10
  Speaker 4: because it's obviously extra curricular, that stuff that's not part
• 55:13
  Speaker 4: of your practice plan.
• 55:15
  Speaker 7: Yes, the answer is we close our eyes and pray. Okay, yeah,
• 55:20
  Speaker 7: very much. So for example, just picture right now and
• 55:25
  Speaker 7: yesterday we'll say let's go uh Calm Alone and Brian
• 55:29
  Speaker 7: Russell versus let's go John Krotty and let's say.
• 55:36
  Speaker 2: Mike Brown.
• 55:37
  Speaker 7: Okay, it's like that someone like that, because I saw
• 55:39
  Speaker 7: it visually. Yeah, just playing till seven, right, and that's
• 55:43
  Speaker 7: what's good about it. Or Darren Williams playing versus Carlos
• 55:49
  Speaker 7: Boozer and let's go CJ. Miles because a knockdown shooter
• 55:54
  Speaker 7: with Memoo core just playing where it's uh An, it's
• 55:58
  Speaker 7: just you're playing for the joy of it and the
• 56:00
  Speaker 7: pride and also the pride of the locker room.
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: Sure, because after you win.
• 56:04
  Speaker 7: You're in the locker room, you're talking trash for about
• 56:06
  Speaker 7: a half hour, if not weeks, months, years.
• 56:09
  Speaker 5: How often are they putting money on those games?
• 56:12
  Speaker 7: Again, the answer is it would be a usually, it
• 56:14
  Speaker 7: would be a side bet. It's often, But from a
• 56:17
  Speaker 7: coaching standpoint, you're against goose. That's when it gets too weird,
• 56:20
  Speaker 7: then yes, just when it gets weird, only second to
• 56:23
  Speaker 7: when you the most teams are successful, do not gamble
• 56:27
  Speaker 7: as far as card games on the airplane above sea
• 56:30
  Speaker 7: level thirty five thousand feet, that's it's a bad thing
• 56:33
  Speaker 7: because things get crazy up up above sea level and
• 56:37
  Speaker 7: it's a carryover. So these all part of the NBA
• 56:40
  Speaker 7: culture and I think I'm all for it and we
• 56:43
  Speaker 7: shall see. But more importantly, Sean Tonight is the start
• 56:46
  Speaker 7: of the NBA second part of the season. The All
• 56:50
  Speaker 7: Star break is over, and now the teams that are
• 56:54
  Speaker 7: trying to make the playoffs, they expect the young players
• 56:58
  Speaker 7: to accelerate their progress defensive and they're playing to win,
• 57:01
  Speaker 7: all right.
• 57:01
  Speaker 4: We'll get into that a little bit here after we
• 57:03
  Speaker 4: take a break. Bad news on an update for second
• 57:06
  Speaker 4: period has begun. And I told you Team USA was
• 57:10
  Speaker 4: going to start this second period on a power play.
• 57:14
  Speaker 4: They just gave up a short handed goal for Canada.
• 57:18
  Speaker 4: That is not good. First goal allowed by TVSA since
• 57:24
  Speaker 4: the first game of this Olympic tournament. They got forty
• 57:26
  Speaker 4: five seconds left in this power play. So far in
• 57:29
  Speaker 4: the Olympics, they are four for four on the power
• 57:31
  Speaker 4: play TM USA is but one zero Canada right now
• 57:35
  Speaker 4: at the very opening portion of this second period.
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: Bummer.
• 57:40
  Speaker 5: They'll figure it out though, Gordi Chieza.
• 57:42
  Speaker 4: For another twenty five ish minutes, it's the Sean O'Connell
• 57:45
  Speaker 4: Show on ESPN seven hundred and ninety ONEFM.
• 57:51
  Speaker 8: As you were.
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: Listening to The Sean O'Connell Show from the Murdoch Hyundai
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: Studio of ESPN seven hundred.
• 57:58
  Speaker 8: And ninety two to one.
• 57:59
  Speaker 9: A f M, I should apologize if you're watching on
• 58:11
  Speaker 9: the YouTube stream, because you're watching me eat this delightful
• 58:16
  Speaker 9: Murlowberger from Berger Fusion.
• 58:19
  Speaker 4: Now, let's just say I'm not taking it slowly. This
• 58:21
  Speaker 4: thing is absolutely incredible. They are batting one thousand still
• 58:26
  Speaker 4: the rosemary fries today the murleow Berger. I have chosen
• 58:29
  Speaker 4: the tangy fry sauce as my dipping sauce. Also, the
• 58:33
  Speaker 4: mango Hobiniero is available if I want to go to
• 58:36
  Speaker 4: a backup here. So Gordy has to listen to me
• 58:40
  Speaker 4: eat and watch me eat. You just have to watch
• 58:42
  Speaker 4: me eat. My apologies to all of you, but Bergerfusion
• 58:45
  Speaker 4: Hot Lunch. Gordiers in studio with us for the remainder
• 58:48
  Speaker 4: of this segment.
• 58:49
  Speaker 2: One to Ozero.
• 58:49
  Speaker 4: Canada up on USA fifteen minutes left in the second
• 58:53
  Speaker 4: period in this game, and this is the seventh time
• 58:57
  Speaker 4: these two nations have played for a gold medal. Canada's
• 59:02
  Speaker 4: up four to two right now. Hopefully the USA can
• 59:05
  Speaker 4: get the gold medal today and we'll call it four
• 59:07
  Speaker 4: to three after this one. Gordy, you pointed it out
• 59:10
  Speaker 4: to me during a break. It's a big time birthday
• 59:13
  Speaker 4: in the NBA.
• 59:15
  Speaker 2: Yes it is.
• 59:16
  Speaker 7: Today is the thirty first birthday of everybody that really
• 59:21
  Speaker 7: enjoys watching this guy play. I know he's one of
• 59:23
  Speaker 7: the Jazz arch rivals. He plays for the Devon Nuggets.
• 59:27
  Speaker 7: Nikolai Jokic today turns thirty one, and let's go about
• 59:33
  Speaker 7: his career. He was a second round pick, second round pick,
• 59:37
  Speaker 7: and you kidding me? And now he was the three
• 59:39
  Speaker 7: time league MVP back in twenty twenty one, twenty twenty
• 59:46
  Speaker 7: twenty two, and twenty twenty four, and he was the
• 59:49
  Speaker 7: MVP of the NBA Finals where the Nuggets were champions
• 59:52
  Speaker 7: back in twenty twenty three. This year, as we speak
• 59:57
  Speaker 7: right now, leads to the NBA in twenty games of
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 7: having a triple double, which is outrageous. And for this season,
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 7: he's averaging twenty eight points seven points per game, trow
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 7: point three rebounds, ten point seven assists, one point four steals,
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 7: shooting fifty six point one from the field.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 2: Happy Birthday. It's outrageous.
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 5: Is he the best player in the league right now?
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 7: Yes, with Shape being a very close second and Luca
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 7: Donts also in that group.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 4: Would he win a one on one tournament if you
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 4: put everyone, because that's a different thing, that's a different
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 4: like athleticism probably matters a little bit more quickness off
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 4: to dribble, et cetera. If he's the best player in
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 4: the team game. Would he also be the best player
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 4: if they did that one on one thing at the
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 4: All Star weekend.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 7: No, he would not because his foot speed would be exposed.
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 7: And when he plays in a team game, his foot
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 7: speed isn't as much of a fact. But his skill
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 7: level and his highly intelligent that's when you see him
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 7: really flourish. So one on one, if someone said what's
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 7: the best one on one player in the NBA, I
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 7: would lean towards either you could debate this, either Shae
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 7: Jus Alexander as number one and number two Anthony Edwards.
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 7: Those two guys would be probably again probably and one
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 7: of the best players of all time. One on one,
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 7: I would lean towards either Kobe Bryant or Larry Bird
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 7: as far as just one on one, sure, and as
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 7: you could debate that forever. And that's that's the beauty
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 7: of sports right now, So Jokic turns thirty one years
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 7: young and emphasize young tonight. Also Steph Curry the Warriors,
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 7: they're hanging in there. They could have caved in like
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 7: five times already. The Warriors played tonight. It's the NBA
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 7: season and the Warriors right now the eight seed twenty
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 7: nine wins and twenty six losses, and Steph Curry is
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 7: not playing. He has a right knee soreness. They call
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 7: it really runners knee, just wear and tear. This is
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 7: seventeenth season in the NBA, and let's say in that
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 7: very small body compared to other NBA players, let's say
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 7: that it's wear and tear. So Steph right now has
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 7: missed this season sixteen games. And when he's not played
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 7: for the Warriors, the Wayor's record is six and ten.
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 7: That shows you how great he is to play at
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 7: an elite level. And let's not forget that Jimmy Butler's
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 7: out for the season. So Steph is really carrying the
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 7: team by himself, and they need him this year. He's
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 7: averaging twenty seven point two points per game, four point
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 7: eight assists, shooting forty six point eight from the field,
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 7: and thirty nine thirty nine point one percent from three.
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 7: And he's the best player in the NBA as far
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 7: as from the foul line, shooting ninety three percent. So
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 7: he's playing great. They can't win without him. They're going
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 7: to try tonight.
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 4: Where do we put Golden State's competitiveness, their chance for
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 4: being a championship caliber team still at this point because
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 4: of the Butler injury, like you talked about, because of
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 4: an aging Steph Curry who's having a harder time being healthy,
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 4: which of course is something that plagued him in the
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 4: early portions of his career. There was some team chemistry
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 4: issues when you had cominga still as part of that picture.
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 4: But I mean, this is one of the pseudo dynasties
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 4: of modern basketball and it's a different look team now.
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 5: So are they still in the hunt?
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 2: No, No, they're not.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 7: No, They're trying to hang on as long as they
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 7: can and that's commendable by them, but eventually they're going
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 7: to have to start over again. And that ownership level
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 7: is said that they want to be competitive as long
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 7: as Steph can still play at this level, and they
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 7: are their competitive they're twenty nine and twenty six, But
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 7: eventually they'll have to start over, like all teams do.
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 7: The Jets decided to do that about three years ago.
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 7: This will be the fourth year not making the playoffs.
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 7: Eventually it'll be the Warriors turn to start over. The Warriors,
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 7: Sean's alluding to about their this era as far as dynasty,
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 7: they want that are four NBA titles in an eight
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 7: year window, So from twenty fourteen the twenty twenty two
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 7: four titles and eight years.
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 2: And in that also they.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 7: Lost twice and they went to the finals six times totally.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 7: They lost to the Cavs in twenty sixteen in Game
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 7: seven when Lebron won He's got his first championship with
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 7: the Cavaliers, and they lost when they were injured again
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 7: when Clay got hurt. They lost to the Raptors in
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 7: twenty nineteen. So with that window, six times in the
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 7: NBA finals eight years, that might never happen again because
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 7: you might say, oh, no, what about the Thunder. Well,
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 7: here's what history teaches us right now, for seven straight years,
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 7: a different NBA champion has emerged. In twenty nineteen, it
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 7: was the Warriors. In twenty twenty, it was the Lakers
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 7: in the Bubble. In twenty twenty one, it was the Bucks.
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 7: In twenty twenty two, it was the Warriors. In twenty
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 7: twenty three, it was the Nuggets, in twenty twenty four
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 7: was the Celtics, and last year it was the Thunder.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 7: And make it even more dramatic, the last time the
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 7: NBA champion went back to back title was twenty seventeen
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 7: eighteen and was the Warriors for seven straight season. The
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 7: defending NBA champion didn't advass Sewing passed the second player round,
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 7: did not advance, So the NBA champion did not advance
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 7: passed the second player round. So that's a shows you
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 7: how hard it is. For example, the Celts won it
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 7: in twenty twenty five. They lost to their knicks in
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 7: the second round in twenty twenty five, So this shows
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 7: your in twenty twenty four, pardon me, shows you. Now
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 7: the thunder going to try to have a different viewpoint
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 7: of that.
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 2: We'll see if it plays out.
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 4: What do you think porzingis adds to the Warriors? How
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 4: does he fit into that lineup?
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 2: Very much?
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 7: He fits in well because he spaces the floor as
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 7: a three point shooter, as seven ft seven foot read
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 7: basically two and that he can block shots and that
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 7: helps them also, and that allows Al Hawford now to
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 7: play as a stretch big, as a power forward as
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 7: they with Draymond also helping out as far as whether
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 7: they start him or not, as far as al Hafford.
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 7: So he gives them, he gives them a different viewpoint
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 7: and it helps them as far as being an outside
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 7: perimeter player that can block shots.
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 2: That's what they need.
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 7: Really Again, if you're a Warriors fan, they've actually overachieved.
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 7: They give him a lot of credit. And the Lakers
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 7: have overachieved also now with and also the Nuggets have
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 7: overachieved because they've been out. They've been injured so much
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 7: the Nuggets, so they're playing without the playing without Aaron
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 7: Gordon who's been hurt with the hamstring injury. And now
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 7: they're playing without also Peyton Watson, who's played tremendous for
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 7: them with also a hamstring injury. And so for those
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 7: guys for the Nuggets to be thirty five and twenty
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 7: as the third seed. Now the Thunders playing also without
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 7: Shay right now, so they're still they're still the first place.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 7: And then there's a team called Seawan, the San Antonio Spurs.
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 7: They are playing absolutely great. The question right now are
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 7: they ready for prime time in the playoffs. This will
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 7: be their first playoff bid in six years, since twenty nineteen,
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 7: And they say they are, and they could be Daron Fox,
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 7: Stephen Cassel, Devin Varsel, Harrison Barnes, Victor went Byamba. Then
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 7: they go Dylan Harper off the bench, Kelvin Johnson off
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 7: the bench, Julian Champagny off the bench, Kelly o'lennock helping
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 7: them off the bench, and Luke Cornette.
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 2: So they're really ten deep.
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 7: Do they have enough toughness and awareness about the intensity
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 7: of the playoffs.
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 2: We're gonna find out.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 7: But they have a great start in when Beyond the
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 7: and also in Stephen Kessel and d Aaron Fox, whose
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 7: I call him the fastest of the fest.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 4: There's always narratives in the NBA and the NHL about,
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 4: you know, the rebuild and now you're back in the
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 4: playoff picture, but nobody really expects that the first year
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 4: back in the playoffs you're gonna make a real championship run.
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 4: And you've described for us many times the significant difference
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 4: between regular season basketball and NBA playoff basketball. Do we
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 4: have an example in the history of the NBA of
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 4: a team that was absent from the playoffs for a
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 4: significant stretch and then they made it all the way
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 4: to a conference finals or into an NBA Finals when
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 4: they first arrived back at the table, so to speak,
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 4: or does it always take two or three years for
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 4: a team like this one like the Spurs, like we
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 4: hope the Jazz will be next year. You get into
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 4: the playoffs, then you get a little bit further in
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 4: the playoffs, and then okay, third straight year in the playoffs.
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 5: Now it's really time. Are there outliers to this?
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 2: Not recently?
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 7: No, No, it's painful, and that most times you get
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 7: punched in the face. So example, the Minnesota Timberwolves with
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 7: Anthony Edwards, who's a superstar player, They've been to the
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 7: conference finals back to back years, but have not been
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 7: able to get over that hurdle to get into the
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 7: NBA finals. It just shows you, hey, do you like
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 7: the Clippers? The Clippers have only one appearance in the
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 7: Western Conference Finals in their history as a franchise. And
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 7: so it's hard. Like this, this thing called the NBA playoffs,
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 7: it's hard. The Pistons are going to try to do that.
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 7: As far as they got they've they're each year they're
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 7: getting slightly better. As far as in the as far
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 7: as in postseason, there's nothing regular about the NBA playoffs. Yeah,
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 7: so James Townes in the headsets about the Lakers miss
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 7: seven st eight years before they able to get Lebron
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 7: As far as as far as getting it in Anthony Davis.
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 4: That okay, feels like a bit of a cheat when
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 4: you get Lebron James, like because he just automatically elevates
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 4: a team. But yeah, I think that patience process, that
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 4: rebuild process is it's a difficult thing for fans to
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 4: have to endure if you're seven year cycle, if it's
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 4: a seven year turnaround cycle, that's a big ask to say,
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 4: all right, hang out with us while you know, we
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 4: get back into contention every six, seven, eight, ten years
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 4: and you're lucky if it's even championship contention that frequently,
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 4: I guess.
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, very much.
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 7: So that then is a Sacramento Kinks right where they're
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 7: the opposite, where they've been trying to rebuild for literally
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 7: twenty years. They've only had one appearance in the playoffs
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 7: in nineteen years.
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 2: Wild.
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 7: So it just shows you that that it's not any magical.
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 2: It's picking the right guys most of the time.
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 7: So example, you get the majority of your draft picks
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 7: correct towards winning, and then you developed them and then
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 7: you have a thing called chemistry with their group, and
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 7: that chemistry so so many times showing is elusive because
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 7: you can't explain it until you don't have it where
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 7: you don't where it's such a feeling in the locker
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 7: room with the where most of the players there's an
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 7: element of joy about playing with their floormates and also
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 7: with their teammates, also with their workmates. I'm using three
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 7: different words here, teammates, floormates, and workmates and they all
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 7: have to match together and mesh. And that's where it
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 7: gets so interesting. There's no algorithms, there's no metrics that
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 7: ever will explain to people about in a locker room.
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 7: That locker room, it's really it's sacred. It's a sanctuary
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 7: as far as each player, and that players have to
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 7: understand that that locker room is critical towards winning.
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 4: James says the seventy seven Blazers might be the best
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 4: example of a playoff drought. And so the Blazers missed
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 4: the playoffs for six years and then won in nineteen
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 4: seventy seven.
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 7: Which just shows you how long ago. And that's when
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 7: he got Bill Walton. Okay, so he was the guy. Walton,
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 7: he was the guy. Then he got hurt with so
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 7: many injuries, and then the next season they started out
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 7: fifty to ten. After winning it in nineteen seventy seven,
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 7: Bill got hurt and then they had a hard time
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 7: after Bill. As far as winning it again, it's hard.
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 7: It's hard where the NFL, whether it's the NBA, this
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 7: is difficult to playoffs. So the Cabs example, the Cavaliers.
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 7: You know, people still have a great relationship with Donovan
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 7: Mitchell because people want him to do well locally here.
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 7: He plays for the Cavaliers. Now for those guys, yeah,
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 7: the best recking in basketball last season they got punched
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 7: in the face. Now they made that trade for Darius
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 7: Calling going to the Clippers, and then they acquired James
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 7: Harden at the end of his career. But it's still
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 7: absolutely effective player and a dominant player. He has some
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 7: struggles in the playoffs though, might head but they're saying
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 7: that it's worth the risk because we have Donovan Mitchell
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 7: and his prime right now. We don't want to wait
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 7: any longer. So that's where it's where teams they are
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 7: patient and then they have to get a certain player
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 7: that they think can help them go deeper in the
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 7: playoffs and if not, championship.
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 4: Gordy, what is Matt Ishbia's reputation around the league is
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 4: he respected as an owner, do they like him? There's
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 4: you don't always have to be liked to be respected. Obviously.
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 2: What is Matt Ishbia's standing in the NBA circles?
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 7: That is a new generational type owner. He's almost like
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 7: a younger version of a of a Mark Cuban was
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 7: twenty five, twenty six, seven years ago, and that's good.
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 7: So he's stirring it up up with the his franchise,
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 7: the Phoenix Suns. And by the way, the Sons right
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 7: now they're thirty two and twenty three, they're the seventh seeds,
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 7: so they're saying, why not us? And they have Devin Booker,
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 7: who's a tremendous player and he's in his prime, and
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 7: they think that they can make some upsets in the playoffs.
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 7: So it's led by ownership and management. And their team
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 7: has played relatively well the whole season and they're not
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 7: gonna they're not gonna mention it because they're paying the
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 7: guy a whole bunch of money. But right, you know,
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 7: right now with this with the with the Sons, right now,
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 7: with with Devin Booker, when they when he added Colin Gillespie,
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 7: that's really helped them tremendously and that's the backcourt is
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 7: really in place. They added Dylan Brooks, who's a wild card,
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 7: and now with Mark Williams is the big guy right now,
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 7: and they're they're gonna be They're gonna be a force
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 7: in the NBA. As far as them playing Grayson Allenson
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 7: a good forman jass Man, and they play well the
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 7: second in the NBA as far as in a steals.
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 7: So they play aggressive defense, and they have a lot
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 7: of good young talent and they have guys in a
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 7: prime ulso right now.
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 4: The reason I asked about matt ISSHPIA is that he
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 4: made some strong comments about the tanking situation. Yes, he said,
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 4: it's loser behavior done by losers purposely losing is something
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 4: nobody should want to be associated with. Embarrassing for the
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 4: league and for the organizations to talk about this is
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 4: a strategy is ridiculous.
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 5: Now, I get it.
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 4: You're not in a situation right now where you feel
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 4: a need to do this. This means, Matt Ishbia because
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 4: you went out with this statement. You can never let
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 4: your team tank. So when this group of talented young
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 4: players becomes old players or often injured players or not
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 4: competitive players, You're not allowed to tank, matt Eshpia. The
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 4: Suns under your ownership, under your leadership, are never allowed
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 4: to tank. I mean, it's a strong stance that he's taking.
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 4: Is he doing this to get into the good graces
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 4: of Adam Silver? Does he really believe stuff like this?
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's it's kind of a tried and true tradition.
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 5: This is what people do.
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 7: Yeah, the answer is we'll find out about six seven
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 7: years from now when some of their main guys are
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 7: aging and so ed you described also without the vocal
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 7: part of it, the Mamby Heat. They're true there once were.
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 7: They were a tremendous franchise. They still as far as
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 7: a franchise, they're trying to never reload. They're always trying
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 7: to piecemeal it so they can be highly competitive as
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 7: far as them in their market.
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 2: Can he pull it off? We'll find out, And that's
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 2: right now.
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 7: The Phoenix Suns are trying to be like almost like
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 7: the Heat of the Western Conference version. It's hard to
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 7: be good for so many years. One time in Jazz basketball,
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 7: the Jazz went to the playoffs twenty straight years, which
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 7: is remarkable. From nineteen eighty three to two thousand and three.
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 7: The Jazz were in the player for twenty years in
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 7: a row. Unfortunately, there was never a championship to say that. Yes,
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 7: the Jazz were for a five year window. They were
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 7: absolutely elite of the elite, but they had to play
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 7: against Michael Jordan, and that was the Jazz had to
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 7: play against the world's greatest player of all time to
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 7: get there, and it took Jordan's greatest brilliance to beat
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 7: the Jazz both those years in nineteen ninety seven nineteen
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 7: ninety eight, back to back years four games to two.
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 7: Remember Michael Jordan never played in the seven game series
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 7: in the finals. That's how great he was by himself,
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 7: but also with his sidekick Scottie Pippen and also Dennis Rodman.
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 5: Gordy, what's the list today?
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 7: And speaking speaking of Rodman, He's on this list eventually.
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 7: My list today is the most career twenty plus rebound
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 7: games by NBA players so Korea. How many times have
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 7: these guys have twenty plus rebounding games career wise? I
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 7: think about twenty rebounds in a game a lot. That's
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 7: a lot. Foundations of elite rebounders are one positioning, two instincts,
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 7: three timing, four high hands, five footwork, six quickness, seven physicality,
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 7: and eight effort. Note on this list, I'm gonna give
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 7: you it's only gonna be twelve names. The NBA did
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 7: not officially record offensive rebounding as a category, not until
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 7: the nineteen seventy three seventy four season. So when I
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 7: say these guys' names, you're gonna say out loud, what
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 7: about Bill Russell, Wilt Nate Thurman, and Willis Reed? You're right,
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 7: So those guys, we never know how many offers to
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 7: rebounds guys got, ever got.
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 4: So wait, ever, they didn't count the rebound if it
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 4: happened on the offensive end, or they just didn't separate
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 4: offensive from defensive.
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 2: They didn't separate.
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 7: Okay, all right, all right, so but we never know
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 7: they see, they just put rebounds in the game. And
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 7: also some of those games, there's no films of them,
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 7: so they would never go back to the showing the
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 7: old school black and white, grainy films that your ice
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 7: hurt watching them. Every once you see that, every once
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 7: in a while they show a film of a black
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 7: and white which is hard to believe in this digital age.
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 7: Here's the list right now, there's only twelve names. Number
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 7: eleven all time, Kevin Garnett, he did it thirty six times.
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 7: Number ten, tied most Malone and Kevin Willis. They had
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 7: thirty seven twenty plus rebound games. Number nine Ben Wallace,
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 7: and before I give his numbers, he's the who's undrafted
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 7: and he's in the Basketball Hall of Fame. So pitchers
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 7: shown being undrafted. You never got picked as far as
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 7: that you're in the basketbll Hall of Fame. Ben Wallace,
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 7: he did forty two times twenty plus rebound games.
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 2: Number eight. Mar Camby did his forty four times. Number seven.
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 7: Hakeem Olaja one did it forty eight times twenty plus
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 7: or more rebound games. Number six. He used to wag
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 7: his tail his finger at us defensively. The Kembo Mutumbo
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 7: did it fifty two times. Number five. Before I say
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 7: his name, he was only six foot five and a half.
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 7: To do this fifty four times is remarkable. I'm talking
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 7: about Charles Barklay Wow. Number four. He plays for the
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 7: Pelicans at the end of his career, but when he
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 7: was younger with the Clippers, he was absolutely a tremendous rebounder.
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 7: DeAndre Jordan did it sixty times twenty plus rebound games.
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 7: Number three. One time he won the Dunk Contest with
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 7: a cape bening Superman Dwight Howard did it eighty two times.
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 7: The second greatest rebounder as far as most ever twenty
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 7: point rebounding games. He plays currently for the seventh tent Sixers.
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 7: His name is Andre Jrumman. He did it ninety two
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 7: times and the number one player in history of basketball
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 7: with the most ever twenty plus rebound Korea games. We
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 7: played against them so many times. Everybody knows his hairdoos
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 7: his different colors of his hair. His name is Dennis Rodman.
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 7: He did it one hundred and fifty eight times twenty
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 7: rebound games, which means that he has sixty six more
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 7: than the second place holder of Andre Drummond. Quickly, what
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 7: about Jazz franchise history. The most ever twenty point plus
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 7: games as far as rebounds is Rudy Gobert. He did
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 7: it twenty four times, and their runner up is called Malone.
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 7: He did it twelve presently, Rucker Kestel, you know he's hurt.
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 7: He's so far in his career arc he has twenty
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 7: plus rebounding games. He did it three times. That's my
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 7: list of today of the most ever twenty plus rebound
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 7: game Korea wise.
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 4: Remember that Dennis Rodman was on the Last Dance documentary
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 4: and he was talking about how you could get rebounds
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 4: based on the sound that the basketball made as it
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 4: was contacting the rim. I mean, it was somewhat comical
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 4: because he was of course pantomime. He was making the
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 4: noises with his mouth, but that's how well his rebounding
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 4: brain worked. He knew what a ball was gonna do
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 4: coming off the rim based on the auditory signature of
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 4: the impact against the rim and the backboard.
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 7: Crazy very much. So again we call that soft rims.
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 7: There's some rims that are softer and some are harder.
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 7: Even though it's all as far as should be unified
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 7: in the NBA, so in the Boston Gardens and yesteryear,
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 7: the rims were soft, so which means that and also
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 7: you have to study your teammates their shot, their shot arc.
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 7: Is it a line drive, is it a mid arc,
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 7: is it a high arc? It was a line drive.
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 7: It's gonna break the rim when it's missed then, so
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 7: it's going to come out quicker if it's a soft rim,
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 7: and your teammate has a high arc. It's going to
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 7: be hit and miss, and it's to be right in
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 7: front of the rim. So again, this is instincts and
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 7: Dennis Robin, to his credit, he's able to master it
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 7: and that's why he's had the most ever games. And
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 7: you know in jazz basketball, Rudy Gobert think about it
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 7: that he's all these different criteria as far as attributes,
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 7: Rudy had that, I mean, you have to be physical
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 7: and you have to be willing to watch get hit
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 7: and get smacked in the face to chase down offensive rebounds.
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 2: That's the list.
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 4: That's Gordy Chies our resident NBA guru, Gordia, It's always
• 1:23:38

• 1:24:49
  Speaker 4: day in Salt Lake City. A nice one, a cold

• 1:25:44
  Speaker 4: Heating and Air. Oh see, still one nothing Canada going
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 4: into the second intermission, final period about twenty minutes from now,
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 4: everything on the line. Now, I will say this tmus
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 4: put together some nice offensive pushes in the second half
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 4: of that second period, and usually hopefully the damn ends
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 4: up breaking if you can stay on the attacking end
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 4: that often that aggressively couple really really nice chances where
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 4: the pucks were just mishit by the last person to
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 4: have it, but staying on the attack and now carrying
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 4: an advantage on the shots on goal, or they had
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 4: an advantage in the shots on goal now slightly favoring Canada.
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 4: So hopefully those good shifts can continue into period number three. Again,
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 4: this is the gold medal game. This is all the marbles.
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 4: Canada holds the advantage in the all time series of
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 4: gold medal games. This is the seventh meeting between these
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 4: two nations for the gold medal. US Women's hockey Trailing
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 4: one zero right now in the second intermission, As James mentioned,
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 4: all right, lots of stories to get to here as
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 4: we talk uts first, Well, maybe the most important one
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 4: is the fact that Alex Jensen and company found a
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 4: way to get a win at West Virginia.
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 5: It's a tough environment.
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 4: Gordy and I were talking about this during the break
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 4: as he was gathering his stuff up to leave. It's
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 4: never easy to win on the road, especially when you're
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 4: a team that's kind of on the rebuild, and it's
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 4: certainly not easy to win in that environment. West Virginia
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 4: is a bubble team right now. They have a lot
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 4: to play for. They are kind of a sneaky good
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 4: roster from an athleticism standpoint, and Utah almost squandered this one,
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 4: almost fumbled it away after a first half, a ten
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 4: point first half lead. But they hang on and they
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 4: win sixty one fifty six on the back of strong
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 4: efforts again from Terrence Brown, Don McHenry. Sadu ended up
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 4: having a really good game seventeen points on six of
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 4: thirteen shooting, including three of four from beyond the arc,
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 4: and you ended up with only five bench points. Still, though,
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 4: found a way to win at West Virginia. You're not
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 4: getting a ton of these all right. You're not getting
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 4: a lot of opportunities where you can well, I guess
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 4: the opportunities there, but you're not capitalizing on a lot
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 4: of the opportunities that you have against these kind of
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 4: mid range to bubble to even bad teams in the
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 4: Big Twelve.
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 5: These are the games that you gotta win.
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 4: You're gonna have a really hard time with Iowa State
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 4: and Houston and Kansas right now. These are games that
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 4: you can fight your way to winning. And congratulations to
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 4: Alex Jensen and his team. Out rebounded West Virginia which
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 4: was huge in this one, passed the ball well, they
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 4: were aggressive on defense. Four block shots in this game
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 4: for the utes, for the running uts. And it's your
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 4: second Big twelve win of the year. Good to see it, yeah,
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 4: and first first road win of the season I think
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 4: in total, so like not just in the Big Twelve,
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 4: but like for the whole season this I believe this
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 4: was their first road win. The things you just talked
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 4: about too, about the stats that they that they won
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 4: in this game, big time weaknesses for the running uts
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 4: All season, they've been out rebounded in almost every game.
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 4: They certainly haven't gotten a ton of block shots, and
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 4: it speaks to they just don't have a lot of
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 4: big men right the Conkus their biggest guy, I think
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 4: he goes six', eight maybe six,' nine and he's not necessarily,
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 4: a big, Bulky dude so they they've been compromised in
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 4: though in those areas. All season one of the reasons
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 4: why their defense has been. Lacking too but to hold,
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 4: it good, not great But Good west virginia team on
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 4: the road to under, SIXTY points, i mean that's a
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 4: hopefully that's an indication that this Group And alex jensen
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 4: and his coaching staff are finally starting to maybe starting
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 4: to turn a corner with the with the defensive Principles
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 4: At alex ctinton.
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 5: Wants to And.
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 4: Still west virginia is seven and six this Year In
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 4: big TWELVE play byu the number twenty three ranked team in,
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 4: the country although they probably are gonna fall out after
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 4: a Loss. TO arizona byu is seven and Six And big.
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 4: TWELVE play, i mean this is, A team these are
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 4: teams that are kind of flirting with five hundred records
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 4: In The Big. Twelve Conference And west virginia was by
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 4: far the best win of the season For the University
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 4: of utah because of what, you mentioned first road win of,
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 4: the season and because it's a team that has a
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 4: lot to. Play for they still believe they've got a
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 4: shot at making some noise in the postseason one way or.
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 4: The other the other big game, last night obviously in
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 4: conference Play was ARIZONA and byu seventy five sixty eight
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 4: win For. The wildcats aj debonsa can't be blamed for
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 4: this one thirty five points and. Seven REBOUNDS and byu has, some.
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 5: Problems.
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 4: Man now arizona's gonna make it look like a lot
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 4: of people. Have problems they're one of, the top, you
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 4: know two teams in, this conference top three teams in.
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 4: This conference they're a top five team in the nation.
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 4: Right NOW and byu needs some things that maybe they don't.
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 4: Have anymore we're talking about This with. Gordy again we
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 4: talked about It With. Jonathan tammornari this is a team
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 4: that came into the season with, a big fat payroll and,
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 4: a huge huge weight, of expectation and an Injury To
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 4: richie saunders certainly derails. Some, things honestly it's, not DISSIMILAR
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 4: and i know people don't like comparing the two schools.
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 4: Too aggressively it's not dissimilar from a couple of seasons
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 4: Ago when utah football thought that it was just going
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 4: to coast its way Into The Big twelve conference with all,
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 4: this talent and then injuries started to derail that and
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 4: suddenly a couple of losses pile up and all of,
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 4: a sudden you got nothing going for you and ended
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 4: up being a. Disastrous season now in the regular season
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 4: so FAR, for byu it hasn't been quite, that bad
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 4: but they got to figure some.
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 2: Things. Out, man yeah They're.
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 4: Got iowa, state still They Got, texas Tech Although texas
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 4: tech is not quite as dangerous because of injuries. As,
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 4: well uh you've got a less than simple schedule to
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 4: close out your, regular season and now you've shown some
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 4: vulnerabilities and you've been on a bit of a. Cold
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 4: streak admittedly against really really good teams in.
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 2: This conference but, guess what that's what you meet in the.
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 4: Conference tournament there's you're gonna get past your first round
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 4: game against, you Know the baylors of, the world Or
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 4: the colorado's of, the world Or the utahs of, the
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 4: world and then your next round game is gonna be
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 4: against the top twenty five team, most likely and the
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 4: rest of the way you're gonna be facing attack just top,
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 4: twenty five but potential final. Four teams that's how Deep This,
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 4: big Twelve this big twelve conference is. This year, so
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 4: yeah and and in the CASE of, byu basketball at
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 4: least this year they're at least in a position where
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 4: they're still gonna make The. Tournament, utah unfortunately in that
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 4: first year In The big twelve, in football there's not an,
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 4: expanded tournament so they but that, was online but they
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 4: missed the bowl game LIKE they byu basketball is still
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 4: in much better position than you to football in.
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 5: That case but analogy. Drives up it's.
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 4: Pretty disappointing it's really only an expectations, related thing because,
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 4: you know there was and we listened to IT and
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 4: i perpetuated it in, some ways especially in the early
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 4: SEASON when i was looking at this ROSTER and i
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 4: was looking to the fact that they.
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 5: Went out they didn't just Add.
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 4: Aj debonsa they grabbed the best available point guard and
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 4: paid him like four million bucks to get.
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 5: In THERE and i was, Just like richie, came Back.
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 4: And richie, was Back And keba keada is the perfect
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 4: compliment to those types. Of players he doesn't, need possessions
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 4: he doesn't. Need points he wants put. Back baskets he
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 4: wants to get in your. Face defensively if he's gonna
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 4: have a, pro career it's going to be. Doing that
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 4: so he, Was like i'm, and again this is where
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 4: the death has become an issue because you're starting lineup
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 4: left very very little to, be desired and then the
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 4: death just. Didn't follow it didn't come THROUGH. For byu
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 4: and then when you, have injuries, you're like, oh wait
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 4: depth especially. Matters now and again they, Might Overperform kevin
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 4: young might put on a masterclass, in coaching but it's
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 4: not happening right this SECOND, for byu and it's not
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 4: looking particularly optimistic in the postseason.
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 6: For.
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 4: Now yeah and as we talked, ABOUT this byu team
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 4: went from the beginning of the season they could be
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 4: if they, could not not that they're expected, to be
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 4: but they could Be a final, four team right could
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 4: be analyit.
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 5: Eight team sweet sixteen at the.
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 4: Bare minimum as the season's, gone along, it's, like okay
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 4: and then the losses started to pile up a. Little Bit,
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 4: dawson baker the backup, point guard. Goes down, you're, like
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 4: okay maybe Maybe not final four is maybe not, as
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 4: Realistic but elite eight. Could Be still sweet sixteen seems like.
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 4: A lock and now we're to a point where It's
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 4: like sweet sixteen might be the could.
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 5: Be ceiling and, who knows like they could be.
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 4: A second they could be out in the first weekend
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 4: the way they're playing. Right now, but still THANKFULLY for
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 4: byu FANS and, bau basketball still got what four more
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 4: game three or four more games in the regular season
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 4: in a conference tournament to try to figure some things
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 4: out and adjust to these injury the latest Injury With
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 4: richie saunders being out for.
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 5: The year we talked about this earlier in.
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 4: The Week The Ronda Rousey gina carano comeback fight for
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 4: both Women For gina carno first competition. Seventeen years there's
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 4: a lot. Of reasons this is interesting if you're into.
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 4: Combat sports most of the reasons are not like an
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 4: actual hate this is going to be a great fight.
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 4: Type REASON but espn is reporting that there's going to
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 4: be extra testing done on both fighters to make sure
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 4: that they're healthy enough to. Do this so IF Your
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 4: Mvp Promotions jake paul is the OWNER Of mvp promotions
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 4: or the co OWNER Of, mvp promotions you're probably sweating
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 4: this out at least a. Little bit because of the
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 4: concussion History That ronda rousey made everyone in the world.
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 4: Aware of she hasn't done that, many interviews but this
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 4: is something that fighters especially are, guilty of where you
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 4: want to tell everyone it actually drives me nuts about
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 4: the culture of. The sport you want to tell everyone
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 4: how miserable the experience of being a. Fighter is you
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 4: want to impress everyone with just how tough you are
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 4: and how much, you overcame and how difficult it is
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 4: to be an elite level mixed. Martial artists there's a
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 4: certain level of INSECURITY in mma about how hard the sport,
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 4: actually is even though if you've, done it you know
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 4: how incredibly difficult.
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 2: It is because there's a.
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 4: Lot, of people a lot of average sports fans don't
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 4: have a deep understanding of the nuance and the intricacies
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 4: of all the things you have to try, to master
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 4: all the things you have to try to be, good
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 4: at in addition to being in the best shape of,
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 4: your life like and, so fighters they overcompensate by being like,
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 4: in interviews by, being like do you REALIZE what i
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 4: did to?
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 5: Overcome this.
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 4: And the mistake Made, by ronda and she's certainly not
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 4: alone in, this category is that you tell people a
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 4: lot more about your medical history than you really want,
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 4: people knowing like she has made a bunch of claims
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 4: about she wrote, a book a memoir and talks about
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 4: how many concussions she had going all the way back
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 4: to when she was a, judo competitor and how she
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 4: couldn't like see properly after, certain fights and how she
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 4: had incredible sensitivity to light and sound and all these
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 4: postconcussion symptoms that are of course related to long term.
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 4: Brain health and anyone who's, reading this any, medical professional any,
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 4: sanctioning body is looking at it and, going, like well that's.
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 2: Not good how do we make sure that she?
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 6: Was?
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 4: Healthy right you just have to be careful in putting
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 4: this stuff, out there and fighters. Are not they're casual
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 4: about it because they want to impress people, with, LIKE
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 4: well i did something you would. NEVER do, I fought
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 4: i TRAINED when i, Had CONCUSSIONS like i cut weight
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 4: one day so hard that my kidney's shut DOWN and
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 4: i had to go to. The hospital and, it's, like okay,
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 4: like cool it's not the badge of honor that you think.
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 4: It IS and i FEEL like i can say THAT
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 4: because i went through a lot of the. Same, stuff
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 4: hey you, did IT and i don't FEEL like i
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 4: needed to tell everyone about it all. The, time like
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 4: if you, Ask me i'll tell you. The truth but
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 4: did you have any like serious or almost serious hospitalization or?
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 4: ALMOST hospitalization i had precautionary hot like they sent me
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 4: to the hospital after couple of fights unnecessarily because they,
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 4: were like no way you could get hit that many
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 4: times and not. Be, concussed well you talked about that
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 4: was kind of your style, To YEA and i JUST
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 4: like i got a.
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 2: Concrete brain it, doesn't.
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 4: Matter right so the medical professionals in, combat sports it's
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 4: a really weird balance because like sanctioning bodies rely on
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 4: the commentary, Of, doctors, right hey is this? Person good
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 4: you have to get your eyes checked if you're in this,
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 4: age category both of these women in you have to
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 4: get your, heart checked and as long as everything comes
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 4: back close, to normal the doctors are.
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 2: Gonna, be, like yeah, all right let. Them compete and
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 2: then the.
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 4: Sanctioning body it's in the best interest of whatever promotion
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 4: to be partnered with a. Sanctioning body, that's, like Yeah
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 4: The California State athletic commission wants you to pay the.
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 4: Licensing fee they want you to pay whatever fees. Are
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 4: associated they want to, generate revenue so they kind of
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 4: don't actually care about. These fighters they just have to
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 4: show that they're taking some precautions here because this is high,
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 4: profile now and these are two very high.
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 5: Profile women oh and by, the Way.
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 4: If gina carano between now in this fight signs like
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 4: a contract Renewal with disney to be Back In, star
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 4: wars then she goes and gets concussed and can't remember.
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 5: Her lines now you're in a Fight with. Disney AGAIN
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 5: so i.
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 4: Don't know it's just they're going to do an extra
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 4: battery of, tests neurological especially on, the brains of both of.
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 4: These fighters you have to get and this is by,
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 4: THE way i Fought. In, california okay you have to GET,
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 4: an mri you have to GET, an ekg you have
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 4: to get blood work to show that you don't have,
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 4: any issues and you have to get an eye exam
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 4: from a licensed ophthalmologist saying that your vision.
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 2: Is normal.
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 6: Good.
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 5: Luck everyone oh. That's it.
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 4: I'm sure there will be no issues with a forty
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 4: three year old passing of all of. These things there. Shouldn't,
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 4: be honestly there. Shouldn't be but she's also had a,
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 4: fighting career So, who.
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 5: Like, for ronda.
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 4: You're probably Going back, and, LIKE man I wish i
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 4: hadn't said that in. THAT interview i actually did this
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 4: to myself inadvertently one TIME because i made a joke
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 4: in a post. Fight interview it had been a really, crazy,
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 4: fight right and, they're, like oh when you knock this
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 4: guy down in, this round did you know that he
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 4: was almost? Finished WHATEVER and i, was, Like man i'd
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 4: barely remember what happened in the fight because it had
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 4: been AND like i.
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 2: Did, remember yeah but they gave, the impression and they.
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 4: Gave me they added a month to my medical suspension because,
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 4: of THAT which I guess i should be grateful for
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 4: because they were paying attention but at least taking. Some precaution,
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 4: BUT yeah i COULD see i could see them sactionity
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 4: boards and board to be like that sounds like. He's, concussed, like.
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 2: Oh that kind doesn't. Remember, anything okay that's. Not good.
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 4: ALL right i think we might have a brand new
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 4: rivalry in sports that we have to pay.
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 2: Attention. To james the State of indiana And the State.
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 4: Of iowa Not Necessarily indiana university And the University, of
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 4: iowa but both Of These middle america START with i
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 4: states are trying to Get The chicago bears out Of Another.
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 4: Middle america START with i state that happens to be.
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 4: Between them iowa Wants The. Chicago bears indiana Wants The Chicago.
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 4: Bears chicago illinois Wants The. Chicago bears the State. Of
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 4: indiana the lawmakers In Their house Ways And means committee whatever,
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 4: that is have unanimously approved an amendment To The Indiana
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 4: state bill twenty seven that would clear a path For
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 4: the bears to build a Stadium, In. Hammond, indiana remember,
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 4: oh yeah the bustling Metropolis, Of. Hammond indiana i'm gonna
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 4: look up Ham in indiana. RIGHT now i want to
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 4: know exactly what this place. Is about how does, This
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 4: compare How does hammond Compare? To daybreak just as, an
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 4: example so, at all so probably much more realistic for
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 4: Ham in indiana to be. A Possibility, like iowa you
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 4: have to drive three hours to Get from Chicago. To iowa,
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 4: all right Ham in indiana is actually like a Suburb.
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 4: Of chicago so it's It's Like south. Bendish area then
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 4: that's pretty Close to chicago. AS well i mean it's
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 4: actually way Closer, to chicago Like proper chicago downtown than
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 4: to Than Than.
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 2: South bend is?
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 4: It is, it, Is Right, so chicago hold on Ham
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 4: in Indiana to chicago drive.
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 5: It's thirty.
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 2: Five.
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 4: Minutes okay this is Like The utah jazz wanting to
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 4: build Something In.
• 1:44:07
  Speaker 5: Lehigh so this.
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 4: Is something If, you're chicago you're Still The chicago BEARS.
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 5: Because, i mean but You're.
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 4: In indiana the nearest the nearest city on, this map
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 4: that of course is one hundred. Percent accurate the nearest
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 4: city to Ham in indiana is Called Is, East. Chicago,
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 4: INDIANA oh i mean it's literally contiguous. Metropolitan area it
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 4: is EXACTLY what.
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 5: I, Just said chicago. Border, town yes it's just on
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 5: the south End Of lake.
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 4: Michigan Instead so indiana trying to Steal the Bears, from
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 4: illinois and this is where it gets. Really pernicious and
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 4: if you're, an owner you're, just, Like well i'm Still In,
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 4: Chicago land like.
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 2: This is still this is just.
• 1:44:52
  Speaker 4: The burbs so If, you're illinois you should take this very, very,
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 4: seriously absolutely way probably way more than way more seriously
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 4: than The iowad in Respect, To bettendorf iowa that we
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 4: talked about. Last week my Family has. IOWAN roots i would.
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 4: Never disrespect they.
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 2: Can't Stay.
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 4: Possibly heaven it might be if they built It, in
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 4: dyersville which is where The actual Field of.
• 1:45:16
  Speaker 2: Dreams, is.
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah but this one is this one is, for. Real
• 1:45:22
  Speaker 4: man this is like close, Close, Close, Yeah. Hammond indiana
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 4: see when you put it in terms of it's like
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 4: it's like the jazz Going, to lehigh it still. Feels, gross,
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 4: well yeah we would hate if If you're chicago in you're,
• 1:45:39
  Speaker 4: probably like even though it's still right Next, to chicago
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 4: that probably.
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 5: Feels gross it probably feels.
• 1:45:46
  Speaker 4: So disgusting because it Cannot Like soldier field could not
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 4: be Any more chicago than it. Already is it is,
• 1:45:53
  Speaker 4: Right there it Is. In chicago it is Next To.
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 4: Chicago landmarks it is on the Shore Of. Lake michigan
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 4: it is. Right there so That's The delta center. Right
• 1:46:07
  Speaker 4: now the thing is chicagoans would know and we would
• 1:46:10
  Speaker 4: know if you Moved the jazz Down, to, Lehigh right
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 4: but the average, Television audience.
• 1:46:17
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah they're not.
• 1:46:17
  Speaker 4: Gonna know they're not, gonna know they're not, gonna care Especially,
• 1:46:21
  Speaker 4: in utah by, the way because all they would do
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 4: they do the external arena, shot right and then they'd
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 4: zoom up and out and it's just the Mountains and i'm,
• 1:46:28
  Speaker 4: just like, oh yeah That's Sal.
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 2: Lake.

• 1:46:47
  Speaker 4: be like, oh yeah they're still Basically. In chicago they
• 1:46:50
  Speaker 4: would do that if it. Was in if it, was
• 1:46:52
  Speaker 4: in it's a. Bettendor file is that? The name if,
• 1:46:55
  Speaker 4: they didn't if they moved, it there they'd still, do

• 2:00:59
  Speaker 4: Usa lady from your Lips to. God's ears, oh see
• 2:01:02
  Speaker 4: we have to have another Conversation About, darren peterson in some,
• 2:01:07
  Speaker 4: people's mind projected number. One Overall pick bill's self is
• 2:01:11
  Speaker 4: putting on a masterclass in saying what he wants to
• 2:01:14
  Speaker 4: say without saying what he wants.
• 2:01:16
  Speaker 5: To say after every one of these.
• 2:01:20
  Speaker 4: Performances Where darren peterson last night For The kansas jayhawks
• 2:01:25
  Speaker 4: scored twenty points in the, first half he ended up
• 2:01:29
  Speaker 4: playing just a couple minutes in the second half and then,
• 2:01:32
  Speaker 4: He's like. I'm cramping you got to take me out of.
• 2:01:34
  Speaker 4: The Game and bill's self after the game, is, like,
• 2:01:37
  Speaker 4: hey look. It's frustrating we thought we were. Past this
• 2:01:41
  Speaker 4: he's not throwing his player under, the bus but he
• 2:01:45
  Speaker 4: clearly doesn't buy it that the guy's.
• 2:01:47
  Speaker 2: Really Cramping.
• 2:01:49
  Speaker 4: Darren peterson is playing himself into a very strange no
• 2:01:55
  Speaker 4: man's land from a, REPUTATION standpoint i actually don't think
• 2:01:59
  Speaker 4: it's going to hurt him in any. Measurable way when
• 2:02:02
  Speaker 4: it comes TO the, NBA draft i still think he's
• 2:02:05
  Speaker 4: going to be the number, one pick Don't YOU because,
• 2:02:07
  Speaker 4: I DO and i hate that because this is the
• 2:02:11
  Speaker 4: ultimate flaw of professional sports. Front offices you become so
• 2:02:16
  Speaker 4: incredibly enamored with potential over. Everything, else Well And kurt
• 2:02:21
  Speaker 4: signetti pushed back against this in college sports with his
• 2:02:25
  Speaker 4: roster Management. At indiana he kept saying production, over potential production,
• 2:02:29
  Speaker 4: over potential because everyone falls in love with, rod ability,
• 2:02:33
  Speaker 4: with talent, with height, with traits and you can sometimes
• 2:02:40
  Speaker 4: overlook a really good player because, of, IT right, i
• 2:02:43
  Speaker 4: mean like, there's countless countless examples of players that, are,
• 2:02:48
  Speaker 4: overlooked underdrafted not drafted. At all because they don't have that. Measurable,
• 2:02:54
  Speaker 4: thing now the problem is the counterpoint, is, that well
• 2:02:58
  Speaker 4: there's also countless examples of guys that do have those
• 2:03:02
  Speaker 4: measurables and they end up living up to. The hype
• 2:03:05
  Speaker 4: and when you are able to get one of those
• 2:03:06
  Speaker 4: guys and you get the most out of, that guy it's.
• 2:03:09
  Speaker 2: A, truly remarkable.
• 2:03:11
  Speaker 4: Special thing we're Talking about Victor, Webin yama we're Talking About,
• 2:03:15
  Speaker 4: MILES garrett, i mean fill in the blank with whoever.
• 2:03:18
  Speaker 4: You want first round draft picks and especially top five
• 2:03:22
  Speaker 4: draft picks are those picks for. A Reason But darren
• 2:03:26
  Speaker 4: peterson is in a SPOT that I don't i don't
• 2:03:30
  Speaker 4: remember the last time we had a guy where his
• 2:03:34
  Speaker 4: head coach in college had to dance around his availability.
• 2:03:38
  Speaker 4: Like This bill self has to Talk About darren peterson
• 2:03:42
  Speaker 4: the Way That will hardy has to Talk About, lowry
• 2:03:45
  Speaker 4: markinen where they're deliberately keeping him out to, lose games
• 2:03:51
  Speaker 4: making up minutes restrictions. And Such now self is like
• 2:03:56
  Speaker 4: he's on that line where, he's, Like look i'm frustrated,
• 2:03:58
  Speaker 4: by this but and this is where If You're, darren
• 2:04:01
  Speaker 4: peterson this has to.
• 2:04:02
  Speaker 5: BE killer i, don't know if.
• 2:04:03
  Speaker 4: HE cares i don't Know if i'm being completely unfair
• 2:04:06
  Speaker 4: to the guy and he has some kind of like.
• 2:04:08
  Speaker 4: Cramping Disorder but bill self, is, like look the good
• 2:04:12
  Speaker 4: thing is we're not unaccustomed. To this we've had to
• 2:04:14
  Speaker 4: play without him, a lot and so our guys are
• 2:04:18
  Speaker 4: good at playing. Without him that is the ultimate insult
• 2:04:23
  Speaker 4: to a. GREAT teammate, i mean they Beat. They, ARIZONA
• 2:04:27
  Speaker 4: actually i think they got two losses on the, year
• 2:04:29
  Speaker 4: now but they were undefeated until what last week and
• 2:04:32
  Speaker 4: there or maybe the, week before and their first loss
• 2:04:35
  Speaker 4: of the year was To A darren Peterson lists, kansas
• 2:04:38
  Speaker 4: team so they know they can beat the best team
• 2:04:42
  Speaker 4: in college basketball. Without him bill self ought ought to
• 2:04:46
  Speaker 4: feel confident, about that but you still want your best player. Out,
• 2:04:49
  Speaker 4: There also i'll give you another angle on this as
• 2:04:52
  Speaker 4: TO why nba front offices whichever team ends up with
• 2:04:56
  Speaker 4: the number, one pick, You. Know jazz If the jazz
• 2:05:00
  Speaker 4: somehow end up with the number, one pick which we would,
• 2:05:03
  Speaker 4: all love they're probably taking because of the local angle
• 2:05:07
  Speaker 4: there and Because Of ryan smith's direct hand In aj
• 2:05:10
  Speaker 4: debonsa being BEING. At BYU but. I digress everyone else
• 2:05:14
  Speaker 4: is Probably Taking, Darren peterson and the other reason why
• 2:05:19
  Speaker 4: is not just because being enamored with, potential overproduction but
• 2:05:24
  Speaker 4: also the fear of if we Take Aj Or, cam
• 2:05:28
  Speaker 4: boozer the other two top picks in this in, this
• 2:05:32
  Speaker 4: Draft And darren peterson somehow overcomes these weird cramping and
• 2:05:38
  Speaker 4: other things he's got going on that's made him miss
• 2:05:41
  Speaker 4: time and he ends up being the superstar that everyone
• 2:05:43
  Speaker 4: thought he could be if he, stayed healthy then we
• 2:05:48
  Speaker 4: we missed out on the best player on this on
• 2:05:51
  Speaker 4: this in, this class who probably who may even have
• 2:05:53
  Speaker 4: a better career than the than the really good guy.
• 2:05:55
  Speaker 5: We took Instead Aj Or. Cam RIGHT so i that's the.
• 2:06:00
  Speaker 4: Other thing the fear of missing out is a big
• 2:06:02
  Speaker 4: reason why teams will probably Still Pick.
• 2:06:05
  Speaker 5: Darren peterson Should ask.
• 2:06:06
  Speaker 4: Gordy this but we've already talked to Him About. DARREN
• 2:06:08
  Speaker 4: peterson i want to know what the reaction FROM an
• 2:06:12
  Speaker 4: nba team front office would be if AT the nba
• 2:06:16
  Speaker 4: combine you talk To A darren peterson and you're, just
• 2:06:20

  Speaker 6: we're executing our game plan both on offense. And defense
• 2:12:14
  Speaker 6: and then a credit, to them they made some minor
• 2:12:16
  Speaker 6: adjustments and we were kind of playing on those four
• 2:12:21
  Speaker 6: that beginning of the. Third quarter they made it, a
• 2:12:23
  Speaker 6: game cut IT to i, think five and then it
• 2:12:25
  Speaker 6: was a closed game all the way until the last couple.
• 2:12:27
  Speaker 6: Of minutes but, you know hopefully we can sustain, our
• 2:12:32
  Speaker 6: intensity our focus and commitment to the, game plan especially
• 2:12:35
  Speaker 6: on the defensive end for forty minutes and then offensively
• 2:12:39
  Speaker 6: being able to take what they, give us being, shot

• 2:13:01
  Speaker 4: A team as, a coach you want, your players of
• 2:13:04
  Speaker 4: course to be hoping to improve, themselves individually but we
• 2:13:08
  Speaker 4: are who we are to some extent at this point in.
• 2:13:11
  Speaker 4: A season so what are the, little tweaks the little
• 2:13:14
  Speaker 4: adjustments that you can make from a, practice standpoint or
• 2:13:17
  Speaker 4: from an individual, workout standpoint or for you in how
• 2:13:20
  Speaker 4: you're studying film and how you're communicating with your ladies

  Speaker 6: Size, left yeah very well said it was SOMETHING that
• 2:13:32
  Speaker 6: i use the exact words in our team meeting and film.
• 2:13:36
  Speaker 6: Session today we are who we are at, This point
• 2:13:39
  Speaker 6: so there is no reinventing, The wheel there is no
• 2:13:44
  Speaker 6: waving your magical wand and putting in. New plays it's
• 2:13:47
  Speaker 6: a matter of doing, the basic simple things that we've
• 2:13:50
  Speaker 6: been doing all year to the best of. Our ability so,
• 2:13:52
  Speaker 6: for us our focus continues to be winning our point,
• 2:13:56
  Speaker 6: of attacks whether that's off ball screens or, on balls
• 2:14:00
  Speaker 6: and then max effort of, the time whether that's in,
• 2:14:05
  Speaker 6: transition offensively, transition defensively defending, the ball rebounding. The ball at,
• 2:14:12
  Speaker 6: this point we are who, we are and so let's
• 2:14:14
  Speaker 6: go out there. And play let's, Stay connected let's move,
• 2:14:18
  Speaker 6: the ball play play basketball the Way the utah women's
• 2:14:21
  Speaker 6: basketball program, plays it passing up good shots for great
• 2:14:24
  Speaker 6: shots and then just pour into. Each other so that's
• 2:14:27
  Speaker 6: exactly what we, said today that's what we did in
• 2:14:30
  Speaker 6: practice and looking forward to one more practice before Our.
• 2:14:33
  Speaker 6: Game saturday so that's exactly you hit it, spot on
• 2:14:36
  Speaker 6: and that's kind of exactly where.
• 2:14:37
  Speaker 4: We're at you're you're eight and seven right now in,
• 2:14:40
  Speaker 4: conference play and there's a little bit of a log
• 2:14:42
  Speaker 4: jam kind of there in the middle of. The league but,
• 2:14:45
  Speaker 4: to me it feels like there's not, this grand humongous
• 2:14:48
  Speaker 4: disparity between where you're at right now IN, Where Tcu, Texas, tech.
• 2:14:54
  Speaker 4: BAYLOR are i know there are good teams and they
• 2:14:56
  Speaker 4: deserve credit for being, good teams but you don't watch them, and,
• 2:14:59
  Speaker 4: say well that's a team with, you know seven pros.
• 2:15:01
  Speaker 4: On it like we've got some of that going on
• 2:15:03
  Speaker 4: in the men's game. Right now where you look, at
• 2:15:06
  Speaker 4: it you're, JUST like, i mean you got to go
• 2:15:08
  Speaker 4: out and you got to play. These games but not
• 2:15:11
  Speaker 4: all things are. Equal here so there is there encouragement
• 2:15:14
  Speaker 4: to be taken from the idea that even the top
• 2:15:16
  Speaker 4: of the league, right now and it is a, good
• 2:15:17
  Speaker 4: league is not out.
• 2:15:19
  Speaker 6: Of, Reach yes and that's something that we keep preaching
• 2:15:23
  Speaker 6: each and every day is we have beaten two of
• 2:15:27
  Speaker 6: the top four teams in. Our conference we haven't had
• 2:15:31
  Speaker 6: a bad loss per se yet all. Season long we've
• 2:15:37
  Speaker 6: lost to, teams that, you know from a, ranking perspective
• 2:15:40
  Speaker 6: they're ahead. Of us we get that opportunity, to play,
• 2:15:44
  Speaker 6: you know the team Down. South saturday we're focused on
• 2:15:47
  Speaker 6: just going one, and oh but as a COACH and i,
• 2:15:50
  Speaker 6: look ahead, You know colorado's a few spots ahead. Of
• 2:15:53
  Speaker 6: us we have a chance to. Play them And, then
• 2:15:55
  Speaker 6: arizona a team that we've already Played in tucson on,
• 2:15:58
  Speaker 6: senior night we get to a finish our regular season,
• 2:16:01
  Speaker 6: With them so we want to go one to zero
• 2:16:03
  Speaker 6: and we want to do that three times to close out,
• 2:16:06
  Speaker 6: our season and hopefully that will give us some momentum
• 2:16:08
  Speaker 6: Into The Big, twelve tournament because it really is. A
• 2:16:11
  Speaker 6: logjam there are some really, good teams but it is,
• 2:16:14
  Speaker 6: anybody's TOURNAMENT and i truly, believe THAT and i believe
• 2:16:18
  Speaker 6: we're capable of, beating anybody and we're also capable to lose.
• 2:16:22
  Speaker 6: To anybody so, whoever's feeling, you know the, most confident the,
• 2:16:26
  Speaker 6: most synergy the, most togetherness, the healthiest those are teams
• 2:16:31
  Speaker 6: that can really get on a run There In, kansas
• 2:16:33
  Speaker 6: city and, you know we're looking to be one of
• 2:16:35
  Speaker 6: those teams that are in contention.
• 2:16:37
  Speaker 5: For Go jelanie white is she's shooting forty.
• 2:16:41
  Speaker 4: From three she's your, leading scorer and it's easy to
• 2:16:45
  Speaker 4: take a look at a stat sheet and, be, like
• 2:16:46
  Speaker 4: yeah this is the most impactful and important player on,
• 2:16:49
  Speaker 4: the team but it doesn't tell the whole story of
• 2:16:51
  Speaker 4: what she has done for you all. This year if
• 2:16:54
  Speaker 4: you can just put some words to the significance of
• 2:16:58
  Speaker 4: her leadership and our contribution on.
• 2:17:00
  Speaker 5: The, floor yeah.
• 2:17:02
  Speaker 6: It's funny IT'S like i just got done watching film
• 2:17:05
  Speaker 6: with her fifteen. Minutes ago, and yes she does bring
• 2:17:09
  Speaker 6: such a great dimension to us on the offensive end
• 2:17:11
  Speaker 6: with her, scoring ability being able to score on all.
• 2:17:14
  Speaker 6: Three levels but some of the clips we watched is
• 2:17:17
  Speaker 6: when she allows the ball to find energy and makes
• 2:17:19
  Speaker 6: the extra pass and makes the. Right read it's, just
• 2:17:22
  Speaker 6: CONTAGIOUS and i think that's when we are at our
• 2:17:25
  Speaker 6: best as. A team we're moving, to BASKETBALL and i,
• 2:17:28
  Speaker 6: told her and this is something that, you know because of,
• 2:17:31
  Speaker 6: her energy because of, her passion, it's contagious and we
• 2:17:35
  Speaker 6: want her to have that smile on. Our face we
• 2:17:38
  Speaker 6: want her to be, you know that competitive edge because
• 2:17:41
  Speaker 6: we feed all of the feed off, of it all
• 2:17:42
  Speaker 6: of us, Coaches players and that's something that doesn't show
• 2:17:46
  Speaker 6: up in a. Stat sheet but when she is, locked
• 2:17:49
  Speaker 6: in engaged and pouring into, her, teammates man it's fun to.
• 2:17:53
  Speaker 6: Be around and that's what we're, gonna need especially down.
• 2:17:57
  Speaker 6: The STRETCH so i, Told, HER hey i have four
• 2:17:59
  Speaker 6: more games that are guaranteed to coach you three, regular
• 2:18:02
  Speaker 6: season and we're only guaranteed one game In The big.

• 2:18:14
  Speaker 6: again i want her to have. THAT passion i want
• 2:18:16
  Speaker 6: her to have that swagger because that's the stuff that
• 2:18:19
  Speaker 6: we feed off Of o.
• 2:18:21
  Speaker 4: Ja at this juncture of a year where, you know
• 2:18:23
  Speaker 4: the the light is at the end of the tunnel
• 2:18:25
  Speaker 4: from a, tournament perspective and that's when you build towards.
• 2:18:28
  Speaker 4: All year but like, you said you got to go
• 2:18:30
  Speaker 4: one to oh three times before you. Get there how
• 2:18:33
  Speaker 4: do you approach that focus acknowledging that the tournament, is
• 2:18:37
  Speaker 4: there but not getting ahead. OF yourself i know you can.
• 2:18:41
  Speaker 4: Do it is it a natural thing for your players

  Speaker 4: to stay on the task?
• 2:18:45
  Speaker 6: At, HAND yeah i will say this week it'll be
• 2:18:48

• 2:18:51
  Speaker 6: is the team. Down south we're owing one against them, this,
• 2:18:53
  Speaker 6: year RIGHT so i think that has all of. Our

• 2:19:17
  Speaker 6: Little tricky. You know we got to Go to colorado

  Speaker 6: and we come Home For. Senior night that's when a
• 2:19:22
  Speaker 6: lot of the distractions could start. Creeping, In uh and

• 2:19:52
  Speaker 4: rebounder and how, you know it's something that, FOR her,
• 2:19:57
  Speaker 4: i guess is a little. Bit ingrained it may be
• 2:19:59
  Speaker 4: born with that that is as important of a part of,
• 2:20:03
  Speaker 4: her game or as important part of the game for
• 2:20:06
  Speaker 4: her as scoring points is or. Anything ELSE and i just,
• 2:20:10
  Speaker 4: you know the contribution, she's made particularly on, the boards
• 2:20:14
  Speaker 4: has it been contagious in the way that you wanted it.
• 2:20:17
  Speaker 8: To, be yes.
• 2:20:18
  Speaker 6: She is, you know she is our. Elite rebounder, you
• 2:20:22
  Speaker 6: know hands down our. Best rebounder she shows it every day,
• 2:20:25
  Speaker 6: in practice she shows it every day. IN games i
• 2:20:28
  Speaker 6: think she's averaging a double double in, conference play so
• 2:20:33
  Speaker 6: like she's been doing a, phenomenal job and every opponent
• 2:20:36
  Speaker 6: In the big twelve identifies her and marks her as
• 2:20:39
  Speaker 6: somebody that you got to, try to, you know keep
• 2:20:41
  Speaker 6: off the old boards or limit, her rebounding and she's
• 2:20:44
  Speaker 6: still able to put up. Those NUMBERS so i Think
• 2:20:47
  Speaker 6: having reese sometimes are, you know especially that Game, against
• 2:20:52
  Speaker 6: cincinnati we started out really slow on the rebounding side.
• 2:20:56
  Speaker 6: Of things they were The best big twelve rebounding team
• 2:20:58
  Speaker 6: coming into, the game and then and we gave them
• 2:21:01
  Speaker 6: seven zero boards to start the. First, quarter well our
• 2:21:03
  Speaker 6: guards tend to watch her rebound because she does such
• 2:21:07
  Speaker 6: a phenomenal job securing. Those boards there are times when,
• 2:21:10
  Speaker 6: you know those, long rebounds we need our guards. To
• 2:21:13
  Speaker 6: rebound so, you know they ended up finishing with. Only
• 2:21:15
  Speaker 6: ten so once we, addressed it we're able to. Fix
• 2:21:18
  Speaker 6: it but we got to make sure that, you know
• 2:21:20
  Speaker 6: we're not spectators. Out there there are four players out
• 2:21:22
  Speaker 6: there on the floor. With her they got to do
• 2:21:24
  Speaker 6: their job. As well and you know she can't get all,
• 2:21:26
  Speaker 6: the rebounds even though she does get a high percentage.
• 2:21:29
  Speaker 6: Of them it's just real valuable asset to have in.
• 2:21:31
  Speaker 6: Our program and then on top, of that you know
• 2:21:34
  Speaker 6: her finding her way to score within. Our offense she's
• 2:21:38
  Speaker 6: made really good strides this in her third year, with
• 2:21:41
  Speaker 6: us and we're gonna look to kind of feed her
• 2:21:43
  Speaker 6: more as we close out. The season so really excited
• 2:21:46
  Speaker 6: about her and just where she's been and where she's
• 2:21:50
  Speaker 6: come to this point in.
• 2:21:52
  Speaker 4: HER career i know the task at hand is always
• 2:21:54
  Speaker 4: the most, important thing especially, for coaches but easier to
• 2:21:58
  Speaker 4: focus on the task at hand when the, bracketology says
• 2:22:02
  Speaker 4: you know it's still within striking distance, Right now ESPN's
• 2:22:06
  Speaker 4: got you in the first four, out category which means
• 2:22:08
  Speaker 4: you could play your.
• 2:22:09
  Speaker 5: Way in is that a motivating factor?
• 2:22:11
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 2:22:12
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 2:22:12
  Speaker 6: YEAH absolutely i think if at any point in, any
• 2:22:17
  Speaker 6: season especially down the stretch In, late february when you're playing,
• 2:22:21
  Speaker 6: for something it just, matters more and that's what we
• 2:22:23
  Speaker 6: all signed. Up for there are a lot of teams
• 2:22:27
  Speaker 6: that they're just waiting For the, conference tournament right that's
• 2:22:29
  Speaker 6: their last. Ditch effort we are in a position where
• 2:22:33
  Speaker 6: we will get, that opportunity but we also have right
• 2:22:36
  Speaker 6: now the. Regular season how we close out makes the
• 2:22:40
  Speaker 6: world of difference in terms of moving in the tournament or.
• 2:22:42
  Speaker 6: Getting out, so again it's better to be in the
• 2:22:47
  Speaker 6: position we're in as opposed, to being, you know with
• 2:22:50
  Speaker 6: a ten and eighteen record or something, like that where
• 2:22:52
  Speaker 6: we're completely out and we just Need A hail mary

  Speaker 10: this stuff so let me.
• 2:31:04
  Speaker 2: Start over, You're right. I'm wrong.
• 2:31:06
  Speaker 4: Well done gold medal. In hockey we were trying to figure.
• 2:31:09
  Speaker 4: This out we're trying to figure this out For The. Winter,
• 2:31:11
  Speaker 4: olympics yeah is there a gold medal that's more prestigious than,
• 2:31:16
  Speaker 4: the others like In The, summer olympics the one hundred,
• 2:31:19
  Speaker 4: meter final especially on the, men's side fastest person in,
• 2:31:22
  Speaker 4: the world that's the most prestigious gold medal.
• 2:31:25
  Speaker 2: There, is yeah that's.
• 2:31:25
  Speaker 4: Probably true and maybe you know some of the swimming
• 2:31:29
  Speaker 4: and whatever team in basketball we were, talking about and
• 2:31:32
  Speaker 4: hockey has got to be way. Up there but is
• 2:31:35
  Speaker 4: There for spence check it's and for The average american sports,
• 2:31:39
  Speaker 4: fan especially is there a a gold medal that's more
• 2:31:42
  Speaker 4: prestigious than the other? Gold Medals because i'll, be honest
• 2:31:45
  Speaker 4: like ski mountaineering is debuting In the, olympics today whoever
• 2:31:49
  Speaker 4: wins that gold medal is not going to get on
• 2:31:51
  Speaker 4: the front of the.
• 2:31:52
  Speaker 10: Weedies, box well and that's exactly where my, head, Went
• 2:31:55
  Speaker 10: right And so i'm old enough to Remember who Mary lou, retten.
• 2:31:58
  Speaker 10: Is huh and so individual gymnastics all around brought Us,
• 2:32:02
  Speaker 10: someone biles you know those play, up there they turned, into,
• 2:32:05
  Speaker 10: Superstars RIGHT so i, always tried like maybe individual, figure
• 2:32:09
  Speaker 10: skating like what will actually because so many of these
• 2:32:13
  Speaker 10: athletes win a gold medal and then they're LIKE assistant
• 2:32:17
  Speaker 10: gm at shields the rest of. Their life it's A
• 2:32:19
  Speaker 10: wild so like which gold medal can actually lead you
• 2:32:21
  Speaker 10: to a career where you don't have to go try
• 2:32:23
  Speaker 10: to sell insurance for.
• 2:32:24
  Speaker 2: Your, FRIEND well i think you.
• 2:32:25
  Speaker 4: HIT it i think it's it's gymnastics In The, summer,
• 2:32:28
  Speaker 4: OLYMPICS right i think It's that like we were, talking
• 2:32:31
  Speaker 4: About Like michael phelps won a, thousand medals if he
• 2:32:34
  Speaker 4: had won one medley, RELAY medal.
• 2:32:37
  Speaker 5: I don't think that puts him in the stratus for he.
• 2:32:39
  Speaker 4: Got into being the fastest man or fastest woman on
• 2:32:42
  Speaker 4: the planet probably gets you the weedies box at least
• 2:32:44
  Speaker 4: a four year cycle of. Pseudo fame but In The
• 2:32:46
  Speaker 4: winter olympics it's harder. To identify like if you win
• 2:32:50
  Speaker 4: the mono, bob okay. That's awesome i'm not trying to
• 2:32:56
  Speaker 4: diminish a. Gold medal gold medals are incredibly, for sure
• 2:33:01
  Speaker 4: but not all. Created EQUAL so i want to know
• 2:33:04
  Speaker 4: what the best. One is we, ask people and it
• 2:33:06
  Speaker 4: was broken up hockey for the team, sport obviously the
• 2:33:10
  Speaker 4: figure skating In The, United, States, Japan, china korea and
• 2:33:15
  Speaker 4: then apparently downhill skiing is really what drives It.
• 2:33:18
  Speaker 2: In, EUROPE yeah i.
