Is KEVIN DURANT a better scorer than MICHAEL JORDAN? · NY's Sports Loud Mouth (VIDEO)

0:02
The Mets lose their star player. They lose their star closer.
0:06
That's are the bad spot right now.
0:13
I've never seen a Ranger team quick before the Olympics.
0:16
We're going to be. Looking at Aaron Judge and
0:18
saying that he. Can't win the big game, Michael
0:20
Jordan said. I played 82 games.
0:23
You don't see the fun doing that, but Jack Hughes did after
0:26
getting his team knocked out to play every single shift he got
0:29
back in the game. New York sports loud mouth.
1:51
Show this is the money shot. Come on, man.
1:54
This is this is the future of basketball.
1:56
OK, this is entertainment. Don't hate to play it, hate the
1:58
game now. The freak show candidate.
2:00
With your host Errol Marx and Co host Beanie Peanie.
2:05
With ex NFL defensive lineman from the New York Jets, Quinton
2:09
Cobo. Quinton Cobo.
2:12
Welcome everybody to a new show of the New York Sports
2:17
Loudmouth. My name is Harold Marks and my
2:19
Co host Mr. Quinton Couples and Speedy PD Go to our website at
2:24
www.worldwidesportsradio.com. Check out all our shows
2:27
throughout the week including York Sports Loudmouth every
2:30
single Mondays and Thursday 7:00 PM.
2:33
All you have to do to tune in and check out our local listings
2:35
for all our shows is go to our website at
2:37
www.worldwidesportsradio.com. We've had a really good week in
2:42
sports. March Madness is here, We're
2:44
going to the Sweet 16. Saint John's is still in it,
2:47
Uconn's still in it. So there's a lot of good here in
2:51
New York. So all the fans out there, I
2:53
know Hofstra and Liu didn't make it, but we didn't expect Liu to
2:56
beat Arizona and we did not expect Hofstra to beat Alabama,
3:00
except Fish. For some reason.
3:02
Fish had Hofstra beating Alabama.
3:04
Alabama right now is one of the hottest teams and hottest
3:07
shooting teams in the tournament.
3:09
They're shooting more 3 point shots than we've ever seen.
3:12
I think this is the first time I think I, I, I, I don't know the
3:15
numbers right now. I think that Alabama has hit
3:19
more threes in the first two rounds than any team in history.
3:23
So it could, it could, but also one of their players are sitting
3:29
in jail. Their second best player is
3:30
sitting in jail right now and it hasn't haunted them.
3:33
It's made them play better as a team.
3:35
So very, very fun and very this is the best time of year for a
3:39
sports better because you you just can't calculate.
3:42
You can't honestly choose from one team to another on where
3:46
they're going to go, how everything's going to fall.
3:48
It's all lock. Everything with the bracket is
3:51
lock. And that's what we're watching
3:53
right now. There are teams are surprises.
3:55
Vanderbilt gets knocked out. We're going to get into that in
3:57
just a few moments. So there's a lot to get into
4:00
with March Madness and a lot of things that are going on in the
4:02
NBA. Luka Doncic is one of the
4:04
hottest players in basketball right now.
4:07
The Lakers are playing great and and LeBron James his whole take
4:11
a couple of weeks ago stating that the Lakers are not a
4:14
championship contending team. They don't have enough to win a
4:17
championship. Well is he going to eat his
4:19
words? Is he going to take back what he
4:20
said? Who knows, that's not LeBron
4:22
James's nature. I expect LeBron James to keep
4:25
spinning out garbage as he always does and pissing people
4:29
off. So that's a whole nother story.
4:31
But again, as a sports fan, you would only suggest to think that
4:36
our guy in the New York Knicks and and again, the New York
4:40
Knicks are a team of a lot of questions.
4:43
Everybody thinks that it's Karl Anthony Towns saying and and
4:46
Karl Anthony Towns has played better basketball, but he they
4:49
think that he's a cancer in the locker room.
4:51
And Jalen Bronson should not be the lead guy.
4:53
He shouldn't be the number one guy there.
4:55
Point guard shouldn't be the number one guy on a roster.
4:58
But I don't understand that Shay Alexander is the number one guy.
5:01
So I, I, I see the takes all over social media.
5:04
Everybody's attacking it, but I, I just, I don't get it.
5:08
This has become a, a guard league and the NBA has
5:11
transitioned from a big man's league to a guard league.
5:14
So I, I've listened to all the different takes on different
5:17
social medias and, and, and different shows and I don't get
5:20
it. I, I don't understand why
5:23
they're getting into this argument that guards cannot be,
5:26
you cannot build your team, you can't build your NBA team around
5:29
a guard that, that makes no sense.
5:31
But again, that stuff that we're going to get into throughout the
5:34
show, Speedy 6 pack of the week. Let's have a sixer.
5:40
Hey, who wants to play Drink the Beer?
5:42
It's time for the Speedy 6 pack of the week.
5:47
You said smothering. All right, since you guys are
5:49
already talking debating about the Michigan Alabama game, we'll
5:51
start there. So Alabama #1 scoring offense
5:54
91.7 points per game and most efficiency per possession. 1.188
6:00
points per possession against the Michigan defense #3
6:02
effective field goal and #2 shooting percentage. 38.7
6:06
allowed. Who you talking about?
6:07
Alabama versus Michigan, Michigan's defense against.
6:09
Alabama doesn't stand a chance against Michigan's defense.
6:13
Michigan is going to blow them out in this game.
6:16
Alabama, if they keep chucking up threes the way they played
6:19
all throughout this tournament, it's not going to work against
6:21
Michigan. They're great perimeter
6:23
defending team and they're going to make them get inside and
6:26
they're going to make them beat inside, beat them inside.
6:28
There's no chance in hell Michigan is going to blow them
6:30
out. You got any thoughts?
6:34
I was trying to figure out where you go.
6:35
So you go with Alabama? No, Michigan.
6:37
He's going Michigan. He thinks Michigan's defense is
6:40
like he. Was going Alabama.
6:41
No, I was confused. Alabama likes to shoot the three
6:44
though, bro, that's what. They do.
6:46
I think Alabama pulls it out. I think it upsets his bracket.
6:50
I like. To.
6:52
I like it better. Three, four.
6:53
And I think they're gonna, Yeah. I think they just knocked them
6:56
out. I don't think Michigan is as
6:59
good as we are predicting and to be.
7:00
I think you've seen the best. He's such an ass.
7:05
And I'm just saying, yeah, just just make sure we mutate when we
7:08
get back. OK, All right.
7:10
Remember you said that. Now that will go to the other
7:12
end of that region, Tennessee and Iowa State.
7:15
This will help your case. Errol of the Iowa State blowout.
7:17
Joshua Jefferson their best player throughout the year,
7:19
missed the first two games of this tournament.
7:21
He will come back be coming back from injury, 9th ranked scoring
7:24
defense, 19th overall and rebounding.
7:26
Tennessee scoring a lot from three though, shooting 9 for 18,
7:30
77% from the free throw lining. It's a very good Virginia
7:32
defect. I love Iowa State in this game.
7:35
Absolutely love them. I, I, it's been a blowout really
7:39
throughout this tournament. I think most of these games are
7:42
going to be blowouts and I think this is going to be a blowout.
7:44
I, I love Iowa State in this game.
7:46
I don't trust Tennessee. Tennessee to me should not have
7:50
beaten Virginia. Virginia just didn't play hard.
7:53
They didn't play at a high level and, and that's why Tennessee
7:56
just completely dominated them throughout the game, except
7:58
maybe 5 minutes the game when Virginia came back and then and
8:02
then all of a sudden fell apart again at the tail end of the
8:04
game. I, I just Tennessee, there's no
8:06
way they're going to be able to do that against Iowa State.
8:08
And the way they, they, they like to score inside and like to
8:11
dominate the paints. So I'm got, I got Iowa State
8:14
completely kicking the you know what out of.
8:16
It yeah I'm going completely opposite.
8:17
Should have cut a wood up. Tennessee got the job done.
8:20
They beat UVAI, Think they roll on with the momentum of beating
8:23
UVA 3 ball is falling. You're going to take Tennessee?
8:27
You'll be taking balls and you. Know.
8:29
I'm sure we will. Yeah, I'm sure we will.
8:31
That's why you behind me in the bracket.
8:33
By 4 points, 4 points. This guy, this guy, I'm behind
8:40
him by 4. You start listening to me.
8:41
You're starting. I'll remember you said that.
8:45
I'll remember you said that. Just remember you said that.
8:49
All. Right.
8:50
Let's move on to the one team we didn't really talk about much
8:53
of, Illinois. They've been blowing their
8:54
opponents out already to 4th most threes they've attempted
8:57
per game in the country. 7th most efficient offense because a
8:59
Houston defense number one in points per game #8IN opposing to
9:02
assist turnover ratio. Houston's winning this game.
9:05
I, I think Houston defensively, one of the best in the nation.
9:08
They, they're, they scored enough in this tournament.
9:11
They're not known for their scoring.
9:13
As a matter of fact, out of all the teams that are still in the
9:15
tournament, they're the least scoring machine.
9:17
But they're great defensively. They're great coached.
9:21
I think Houston goes all the way to the final floor.
9:23
Take that and, you know, wrap it up and pour it in whatever you
9:28
want. If it's milk and milk chocolate
9:30
melts in your mouth, not your hands, it's not going to melt in
9:32
your hands. It's going to melt in your mouth
9:33
because that's what's going to happen.
9:35
Houston is dominating this game. I take Houston as well.
9:40
Give him, give him credit guys for once in a while.
9:42
He's right. So yeah, give him that.
9:46
I wouldn't add to nothing that he said he didn't.
9:48
Spoke well. All right.
9:49
Congratulations. All right, Fleming's real, like
9:53
the dude is real. Like that guy is going to be a
9:55
name you hear for a long time. I think.
9:58
I don't know if he's even like scratching the surface of how
10:00
good he's going to be at though. So I I just worry about their
10:03
offense. Donovan Mitchell Donovan.
10:07
Mitchell, I think, I think that's an interesting comp and
10:10
I'm sure we're going to have plenty of time to talk about
10:12
those comps in the draft in a couple of months.
10:14
But but right now it's just can you score enough if the other
10:19
team, you know, gets hot? Because any team can get hot.
10:22
And if you're a team that can't catch up, that scares me.
10:25
And I worry about that sometimes with Houston.
10:27
But their defense has been so good.
10:29
And you're right, Errol, their offense is better than it's been
10:32
in recent years. I would say I think they have
10:34
enough. All right, we'll go to the other
10:37
match up in that region, the Iowa and Nebraska.
10:38
You guys kind of wore out the Saint John's of Duke already, so
10:40
I'm not. I'll go to this one instead.
10:42
Iowa, Iowa's actually their best defensive efficiency year, even
10:45
though it's still kind of low 36 right now and one of the best 3
10:48
point shooting teams in the country #8 overall in
10:50
three-point efficiency against the Nebraska team that they're
10:53
one of the, I believe it's six teams left that were top 20 in
10:56
both offensive and defensive efficiency in one metric, but
10:59
lower on the T rank metric, only 58th offensive efficiency.
11:03
Can Iowa get the upset here? No, I think Nebraska is going to
11:08
go to the first Elite Eights. I, I really do.
11:11
I think Nebraska has proven themselves.
11:13
They beat Vanderbilt, Iowa, as good as Iowa has been throughout
11:17
this tournament, they're not Iowa State.
11:19
And I think Iowa hit that game-winning shot.
11:22
I, I don't think they're going to be able to do it against
11:24
Nebraska. I think Nebraska is a good
11:25
shooting team. I think they're going to find a
11:27
way to win the game. It's going to be a very, very,
11:29
this is going to be a very, very close game, but I'm going to,
11:32
I'm going to go with Nebraska. Well, we know why you go with
11:36
Nebraska, but we will not say, yeah, I'm gonna go our.
11:40
I think that Nebraska is kind of overrated to me, I think.
11:45
But I like, I like the game. I like what they do.
11:47
But I'm gonna go with our this week.
11:50
All right, we'll go. We got it.
11:51
Fetch. What are you?
11:52
Saying I was just going to say they started 20 and O.
11:56
Teams don't just magically start 20 and O.
11:58
They had some guys get a little banged up.
12:00
They got healthy in time. This team's really good.
12:02
I, I undersold them. I think a lot of people didn't
12:05
really believe in them heading in because they weren't as great
12:08
and they'll set last half of the season.
12:10
They're real though, dude. Like they're, they're going to
12:12
be an elite A-Team. I agree.
12:14
Let's go to the other underdog, Texas #11 see the only double
12:17
digit seed to advance. They're taking on Purdue.
12:19
Now you know what I answered. Yes, I was leaning at a
12:22
different angle like. You can lean as far as you want
12:24
to lean. It's you're going to be leaning
12:26
deep. Texas is offense as the most
12:29
amount of free throws and field goal attempts per game.
12:32
Playing a fast-paced, good at drawing fouls.
12:35
Can they do enough of that on Purdue, You think?
12:37
No. Or is there going to be another
12:38
game plan they have to adjust to?
12:40
They have no shot in this game. No shot.
12:43
I expect Purdue to completely run all over them.
12:45
They have been as consistent as any team in this tournament from
12:49
from the first round to the second round.
12:51
Now they're heading into the Sweet 16.
12:52
I I think they've been as good as I expected them to be and
12:57
it's going there. The hardest game they have that
13:00
they're going to be connected to is either Arkansas or Arizona.
13:04
That is it. And then they're going to get
13:05
into the Final Four. I, I think that they've had an
13:08
easy way to the Final Four, probably easier when they when
13:13
they got into the championship against UConn a couple of years
13:15
ago. I I think Purdue is going to run
13:17
all over him. Yeah, I say the same.
13:21
I I think Texas luck will run out against Purdue unless they
13:26
come out on fire and, and and just some unbelievable game.
13:30
I don't expect Purdue to lose this game in Texas.
13:33
Honestly, honestly, Errol, if I didn't have Purdue losing to
13:37
them in the Elite 8, if they were in a different bracket, I
13:39
would have put them in the championship game against
13:41
Arizona. I think Purdue's just like
13:43
unbelievable. I agree with you.
13:45
I just think they're going up against the team that's I
13:48
think's better, that's all, if it gets there.
13:50
I got a question to ask you, if Arkansas plays Purdue, who do
13:53
you have winning? Purdue by a lot.
13:55
I, I just, I don't believe, I don't believe Arkansas is going
13:58
to be close to Arizona in this game.
14:00
I remember you said I think they're tired.
14:02
I think that they they went on that long haul.
14:04
I think Arizona is more built for this type of type of season.
14:09
Why? Surprise, surprise.
14:10
All right, we're going to finish with that game because I like
14:12
the staff for it better. So Arizona takes the least three
14:16
pointers among the remaining tournament teams, and they're
14:18
actually 358th in the country in terms of taking threes.
14:21
Can they John Calipari, whose defenses, again, not as good as
14:25
we've seen other defenses for them in the past, dupe them into
14:28
shooting threes? Rebounding, I think they're a
14:30
very good rebounding team. Calipari's teams are always been
14:33
good rebounding teams and if they can out beat them on the
14:36
boards, I think Arkansas will win this game.
14:39
That's the problem. If Arkansas hits threes and
14:42
they're going for twos, they're going to they're going to be
14:45
pushing that that that way. They want to play that pace of
14:49
the game and they're going to force Arizona to get
14:52
uncomfortable and play uncomfortable.
14:54
And I think that's why I think Arkansas is going to be matched
14:57
up very well against Arizona because Arizona is not a
14:59
three-point shooting team and and Arkansas is.
15:02
So I'm going Arkansas and I think because of the fact that
15:05
Arkansas is going to make this a back and forth 4th game
15:08
offensively. Yeah, I'm gonna go to Arizona.
15:12
I think Arizona, well, you said they rebound better, but they
15:16
don't have more rebound than Arizona.
15:18
So I'm going to say that. Not in the tournament, but
15:21
throughout the year they have. Correct.
15:23
Well, we're here in the tournament.
15:24
We can't go back in the past and and fight those battles.
15:28
OK, so as of now, Arizona is leading in regards to rebounds.
15:31
Dude, don't worry when I pass. I believe that when I Arizona
15:34
would get the job done, I don't have Arkansas.
15:36
I think they are time and their luck would run out.
15:39
All right, so Q, after I pass you in the bracket over the
15:43
weekend, you can kiss me on these.
15:45
Beautiful. Win, win, yeah.
15:47
You can kiss me on these beautiful pythons, all right.
15:50
You know what I'm going to say about it's going to hit the
15:52
threes, though. For Arizona, Berries is going to
15:56
hit all the threes they need to have hit.
15:57
He's the guy that's going to shoot him.
16:00
They got it. And you know, Bradley can get
16:02
hot. He's a streaky shooter too.
16:04
So if they can get both those guys going, they can score with
16:06
anybody. I they don't.
16:09
Need it for you. The three is good, but they
16:11
don't. They don't.
16:12
Need it. They don't need it like, you
16:14
know, like they have Burries. Burries can he's he had 9
16:17
rebounds in both games and he's a guard.
16:19
He's 64. Like I'm telling you, this guy's
16:22
really special and people are overlooking it.
16:25
He might carry them. I believe in the Easter Bunny,
16:29
too. All right, That's Speedy's six
16:32
pack. Berries.
16:33
Bunny. Yeah, Well, there's definitely a
16:36
Bunny involved with that. Anyways, We call this the NBA
16:39
Round Table. Yes.
16:41
Let's go. Oh.
16:42
That's right. Let's get into the round table,
16:44
everybody. Just like this.
16:48
The first story of the NBA Roundtable.
16:51
We're going to just cover about 5 different.
16:53
I hope that's going. On.
16:55
News wise, in the NBA while the tournament's going.
16:59
It's. Not exactly as exciting as what
17:02
Nathan's probably up to right now.
17:04
And Nathan, by the way, we got a background for you.
17:06
Nathan, you can go put. Yours in sitting.
17:08
In our backstage, our great PR. Actor.
17:11
Nathan, Woody Ramachandra. I need Brittany also.
17:18
I'm putting you on a leash now. I got it.
17:22
Let's get into it. All right, Nathan.
17:25
We'll see you after NBA. Don't whack off.
17:33
The NBA wants to expand. They, they they're making money
17:36
hand over fist. They've figured it out.
17:39
This new streaming model seems to be paying dividends already
17:43
for Adam Silver and the gang over there.
17:46
They're talking about Las Vegas and Seattle probably being the
17:50
first two teams by the 2829 season.
17:54
They're going to start accepting bids this month, 7 to 10 billion
17:59
per team. They're going to have to do some
18:01
kind of realignment because that'll bring them to 32 teams.
18:05
There's a bunch of people that think that is terrible for the
18:08
league, that there's enough bad basketball going on right now
18:11
that we don't need more bad basketball.
18:13
But as you know, Errol money's going to win out.
18:16
I love it. First of all, you knew Las Vegas
18:19
is going to do that. They're heading the A's over
18:21
there. They have the Las Vegas Knights.
18:23
They they have the Raiders there and I expect them to bring a
18:26
basketball organization there as well.
18:28
I, I think it's going to sell. It's going to sell out and you
18:31
have so many people going in and out of the casinos.
18:34
They're going to sell out every single game over there in Vegas
18:36
and the SuperSonics bringing back the Seattle SuperSonics
18:39
over there in Seattle, It's an absolute slam dunk.
18:44
I, I, I missed the, I said I miss those Gary Payton teams and
18:47
Sean, Sean Kemp. I'm sorry, I'm trying to
18:51
remember those. Teams have a favorite basketball
18:53
player. And also to Kemi Matumbo, who
18:56
was, I think he was there too. So I I mean detlet shrimp,
19:00
detlet shrimp. I mean, this was this was an
19:02
organization that was very well respected before they went to OK
19:05
CI love it. Those are two good basketball
19:08
cities and I think those are two good sports cities.
19:11
You have the Seattle Seahawks over there.
19:13
They have a hockey team. Now I I think this is great for
19:16
basketball to put them into cities.
19:18
And I think every single city, everything single state should
19:21
have a professional hockey team, a professional basketball team,
19:24
a professional baseball team and a professional hockey team.
19:27
So I think this is great for basketball.
19:29
I don't care what the NBA players say.
19:31
Yeah, it definitely is great. Las Vegas has already worked
19:33
very effectively with pretty much everything so far.
19:36
I I was a skeptical of hockey at the time and it boom, obviously
19:39
the cup help but. Give me that chicken pond.
19:41
Boomed right away in terms of getting fan base.
19:43
They're a very stable organization now.
19:44
The Raiders are not a stable organization, but they still get
19:46
good attendance record over there.
19:48
It'll definitely. Work.
19:48
Squeeze the cheese. Which is a lot more star driven
19:51
league. Yeah, I don't, I don't see, I
19:56
like the idea of adding, getting two extra teams and bringing in
19:59
more talent. But I do I'm agree with the
20:01
basketball players. I think it's enough bad
20:03
basketball that we don't need to add anything.
20:06
If there was to take away a city maybe like Washington Wizards or
20:12
you know, they would to relocate the Memphis Grizzlies, I think
20:15
that might have no. Not the Grizzlies, they they
20:17
have a good fan base would be probably more likely a team.
20:19
If you think it's such bad basketball, then draft right.
20:22
Draft right? No, it's not.
20:24
But it's not about it's. You don't just get to pick any
20:28
really draft that you owe. No, you don't.
20:30
I mean, the Knicks have. Had some people may pick it
20:33
before you get there or you made the trade pick.
20:36
You know, building the team isn't just, Oh yeah, free.
20:40
Agents. All right, all right.
20:42
Hold on one second. Hold on.
20:44
Hold on. Phil Jackson was there.
20:45
He's the greatest coach of all time.
20:47
He goes over there to the Knicks.
20:48
He can't build the team. He brings in coaches.
20:50
He brings this in. He brings that in.
20:52
Doesn't work. They bring in an agent, Leon
20:54
Rose and Worldwide West, and all of a sudden everything
20:58
transitions. The Knicks are a winning team.
21:00
They're an organization that can win a championship.
21:02
You're going to tell me the Knicks had winning basketball,
21:05
25 years of garbage basketball, and you're going to tell me that
21:08
organization was good? The Mecca Basketball.
21:12
Guys acquire good talent. Oh, acquire what talent?
21:15
I'm sorry. Let's let's acquire.
21:17
Amari Stoudemire's knees were dead.
21:19
OK. He had one good season.
21:20
Oh, great talent. Wonderful talent.
21:22
Who did they have? Every single person.
21:25
Carmelo Anthony. Oh.
21:27
Oh, one guy. One guy.
21:29
How about Jeremy Lin? He was he was great, too, Lynn.
21:31
Sanity. Great.
21:33
Yeah, Yeah, he was. He was.
21:34
He was great for what, 15 games? And then he was gone because
21:38
Carmelo. Carmelo Anthony was crying
21:41
because he was taking out the spotlight from him.
21:43
Give me a break. There was no talent there.
21:46
But guess what, everybody? Knick games were sold out.
21:49
It didn't matter how bad the Knicks were for 25 years, they
21:51
sold out. You're telling me Memphis and
21:53
Seattle games are sold? Out.
21:56
It's not again going back to Memphis.
21:58
Go, is it? Is it Memphis's fault that John
22:02
Moran likes to pull out his gun? Is it?
22:04
Doesn't matter, that has to do. With has a lot to do with
22:07
basketball. No, you can't control your
22:09
players media. We making it more than you can't
22:12
control. Your players.
22:14
You can't. It doesn't impact him on the
22:16
floor. That's what he get paid to do.
22:19
So. So that's your answer.
22:20
There's laws and legislation outside of the court, all right,
22:25
So whatever he do outside of the court should not impact what
22:28
happens on the. Oh, so when he goes to a strip
22:30
bar and pulls out his gun, that's off the court so they
22:32
can't control their player, right.
22:34
Well, how about going to a basketball court and pulling out
22:36
his gun because some kid pissed him off?
22:39
Yeah, that that's controlling that that's perfect.
22:42
I thought it. Was it was a person in the
22:45
vehicle? No, interesting.
22:47
That was a making of shit. Speaking of shooters, there is
22:51
one that just passed the almighty Michael Jordan.
22:56
Please on the all times Pointless.
22:59
Yes. Please, Kevin.
23:02
Durant has now passed Michael Jordan for fifth all time in
23:07
scoring at 32,302 points. Next up is Kobe Bryant.
23:14
Won't get there this season but should get there next season
23:17
assuming he stays healthy. Probably early in the season.
23:20
Only about 1300 points behind him.
23:24
Kevin Durant, obviously he needed 26 points in the game
23:30
against the Rockets. He finished with 27.
23:32
It was a huge deal obviously when it happened.
23:37
He already passed Wilt and Dirk this season.
23:42
It's pretty impressive what he's done.
23:44
Errol, obviously some people think he's the greatest shooter.
23:47
Please of all time, please. Some people think he's the base
23:50
shooting big if they will give him the shooter.
23:54
My fault's fish, but can you give me the stat?
23:57
I'll give you a stat that's. Games that took Kevin Durant to
24:00
score 32,004 over Michael. Jordan, Michael Jordan played
24:04
1000. Hold on, I'll give you the stat.
24:06
Michael Jordan played 1000. Michael Jordan played 1072 games
24:10
to Kevin Durant's 1190. Get off it.
24:15
He's not better than Michael Jordan, Michael, He's not.
24:19
Even close he's. Not even close and all he does
24:22
is Chuck out threes. Michael Jordan didn't do that.
24:24
That wasn't his game. So please don't even compare.
24:28
Don't even compare. He don't even Michael Jordan
24:32
average. His career average was 30.1
24:34
points per game to Kevin Durant's 27.1.
24:38
Please go sit on it, Kevin and Michael Jordan, Michael Jordan,
24:43
Michael Jordan, Michael Michael Jordan.
24:48
Michael Jordan didn't have to go to another organization to win a
24:52
championship. He did it in Chicago where he
24:55
was. Please stop, stop, stop selling
25:00
things that are not true about Michael Jordan.
25:02
It's. OK, I couldn't stand.
25:03
Michael Jordan take away from KD because he passed Michael.
25:07
Jordan, I'll tell you what I take away from KD.
25:09
He's got 10 Twitter feeds. That's what KD is doing.
25:12
He's got Twitter, 10 Twitter accounts reaching out to people
25:16
and cursing people out. Does Michael Jordan do that?
25:18
Does Michael Jordan go and talk about politics after the game?
25:22
Never. Does Michael Jordan will cut you
25:24
out? He used the word ML.
25:26
It's been recorded, documented. Please.
25:29
But will he do it? On his fifth Instagram account
25:32
that he uses, he pretends he's like his nephews best friend.
25:37
Me getting my message across and keeping my endorsement deals or
25:40
me being this superhero to Errol and Fish and and losing millions
25:45
of dollars in endorsements because I'm tough if I do.
25:48
It for my hero. Superhero.
25:50
All we have is our our heroes. Superhero.
25:54
Like we got. It's called intelligence.
25:55
It's hold. Hold on, hold on one second.
25:59
Hold on one second. Hold on one second.
26:02
You just said super. You just said superhero.
26:04
And I'm going to tell you this. I hated Michael Jordan.
26:08
I hated him. I'm a Knick fan, but guess what?
26:11
I don't hideaway from greatness and Kevin, Kevin Durant is
26:15
uncomparable to Michael Jordan. You can't even come close to
26:18
compare we've. Surpassed our He didn't surpass.
26:21
Nothing, Michael Jordan. Play less games.
26:24
Less games. A lot more.
26:25
Less games. All right, we, we, we got to put
26:29
a plug in this one. We're going to run out of time
26:32
for the other topic, Speedy, real quick on this one.
26:35
What do you got for us on KD? I mean.
26:36
Yeah, it was bound to happen. I I think with the team he's on
26:39
now, with a young team, he's going to still be this prolific
26:41
scorer to get to that point. And yeah, it was only a matter
26:44
of time that all these records are meant to be broken in
26:46
today's era. All right.
26:49
What a great take. This next one is something.
26:54
So Luca had a 16th technical in the game against who were they
27:01
playing? Goga Biddit say was on the other
27:03
team. He said something to Luca that
27:06
Luca lost his mind that he got his technical.
27:09
Now 16 texts you get an automatic suspension and that
27:13
would have been a suspension for him.
27:15
He is rescinded back down to 15. The reason why it was rescinded
27:20
is the interesting one. Apparently Luca said something
27:24
in Serbian during the game. Goga played in Serbia and knows
27:29
Serbian and tell him told him in Serbian that he would F word his
27:35
whole family in Serbian. Wow, nice.
27:39
Cool. So they took the the tech away
27:41
from him. Screw the tech, probably I would
27:43
have. Talking to Goga.
27:44
I would have knocked him out. If anybody talks about my family
27:48
like that and tries to talk Serbian or whatever the hell
27:50
he's trying to say in my language, in my born language,
27:54
I'm going to punch that guy out. So as well as the NBA should,
27:58
they should take that technical away from him.
28:00
To me, Luca Dodgek was only sticking up for his family.
28:03
It was, it's horrible to hear. And if I was Luca and Lucas
28:07
playing at such a top level, you don't want to lose your star
28:09
player for one game, especially the way they're playing.
28:12
So I I don't blame the NBA and the NBA always seems to help
28:16
LeBron James, the LJA, the LeBron James Association always
28:21
gets their man. And if Luca is a part of LeBron
28:24
James's team, one way or another, he's going to get away
28:27
with it. So.
28:28
Yeah. And it's one of those things
28:29
where I think the content of it is good to not give this star
28:33
treatment to this could have happened with anybody too.
28:35
But it's definitely good that they NBA knows how corrupt their
28:38
referees could be, especially with all these different
28:39
language barriers. Yeah, I'm not with the I'm
28:43
rescinding. I think that they should get
28:45
they should keep the tech on. I don't think they I'm I'm a
28:47
anti taking money from the athletes when these situations
28:50
happen. But if you're cool, I mean
28:54
because someone says they're going to help your mom that
28:56
probably don't even know your mom or your family.
28:59
You just, you just lose your temperature and just hold on the
29:03
professional and then this day that's all that matters.
29:06
If I'm in the other, if I'm on the other side of the line and
29:10
I'm an offensive player, I'm playing for, I don't know, I'm
29:13
playing for the Buffalo Bills and you're playing for The Jets
29:16
and I say something about your mom.
29:18
What are you going to do with me?
29:20
That thing? No, you're going to.
29:22
Close you're. Going to try to close I.
29:26
Really want you like sticks and stones, right?
29:29
That's what you're saying. Is that what you?
29:30
Say sticks and stones will break my bones.
29:34
All this money just because you said hey after your mom.
29:37
You say that now. You say that now.
29:39
And deal with it in real life. Issues.
29:43
You say that now. In a professional football game
29:46
that we're just nice and saying hey, how you doing and beat each
29:50
other and warm weapons, cute, dirty.
29:53
Cute. That's so is after fights in in
29:56
any professional sport. They all go on the ground and
29:59
they're dirty. I mean, I, I know football
30:01
players that punch. People, I'm gonna go get a tick.
30:04
What are we talking about? I know people that will and in
30:07
football, I've heard football players say they they've laid on
30:10
top of quarterbacks and punch them in the, you know, the
30:12
knockers over there. So you're going to tell me right
30:15
now they're not going to fight dirty.
30:16
You're going to fight dirty if I say something at the line of
30:18
scrimmage and I say something about your mom, you're going to
30:21
try to kill me. You're going to try to
30:22
clothesline me or run after me and try to dispose of.
30:29
Me, I go out here and give you 50.
30:32
I go out and give you 60 and say, all right, your mom.
30:34
All right, ladies and gentlemen, you know, Q's mother tastes like
30:38
honey, not Cheerios, you know. You've never seen her.
30:42
You've never met her. The old the old lala technique.
30:45
Yeah. So, you know, I mean, he's like,
30:47
or you could do like Carmelo and say, hey, meet me in the back
30:50
and let's talk about that. And Waikolo.
30:53
Always like acted really tough about it too, but I don't know
30:56
if he was actually tough, no. He would've got his ass built
30:58
up. He would've gotten his ass.
30:59
I've been not. So you're going to give Luca
31:02
tough of getting A tag, but the man who went behind the scenes
31:07
into the. How do we know that is true?
31:10
How do we know? How do we know it's true?
31:13
No. Their footage, What?
31:15
That wasn't even their bus. The bus was gone.
31:19
The But that wasn't his bus. His bus was gone, waiting.
31:23
For camera Garnet. The bus was gone, dude.
31:30
That he was there. That bus that he was standing
31:33
next to, that wasn't Kevin Garnett's bus.
31:36
They were. Gone.
31:37
It wasn't. They were gone.
31:38
He was there waiting for Kevin. Garner.
31:40
He was waiting because he knew he wasn't there, that's why.
31:44
So he just killed the time. Yeah, pretty much.
31:47
Trying to be a tough guy. Trying to be a tough guy.
31:51
Well, I remember Carmelo throwing punches at a certain
31:54
friend of the show on the Knicks Once Upon a time.
31:57
That looked kind of wild and I would trust Kevin Garnett to win
32:01
that fight against Carmelo if that actually could.
32:03
Absolutely Kevin Garner. So would I just in?
32:05
This face and not do nothing interesting, you know, I wonder,
32:08
I wonder what would happen. I wonder.
32:10
Not that tough and it's OK. I think maybe the rule, the
32:14
moral of this story is basketball players not that
32:16
tough. They not.
32:18
Some of them are. So they say, what's his face on
32:20
the heat? He got like 36.
32:22
Johnson was it. There's an.
32:24
Acceptance to the ruin and everything.
32:26
So everyone, everyone's got somebody who's like a ninja in
32:29
there. All right, last one, let's just
32:31
talk about the playoff picture right now.
32:34
Starting off with the Western Conference.
32:36
The Thunder and Spurs have the top 2 seeds locked up.
32:39
It looks like Oklahoma City's going to hold on.
32:42
They're up three games. Let's see, we're at about 11
32:45
games left for both teams, so that's already over.
32:50
The next thing that talk about is who's going to have to play
32:52
in the playing game. And the Suns are kind of stuck
32:56
in that 7 C, They have forty wins.
32:58
The teams above them, they'll have 44.
33:00
So they're going to need some help.
33:02
The Lakers are in 3rd right now with their winning streak.
33:05
They're nine and one in their last 10.
33:06
They're at 46 and 25. the Rockets are at 4th.
33:10
Everyone's actually tied but statistically slightly ahead 43
33:15
and 27. Then the Nuggets and
33:16
Timberwolves are both 44 and 28 for the five and six seeds in
33:21
the play in game are going to be the Suns.
33:23
If they can't break into that group.
33:25
The Clippers who are under 500 along with the Trail Blazers and
33:29
Golden State. Looks like Golden State will end
33:32
up in the play in game even though they are hot garbage.
33:35
What do you think about that Western Conference?
33:38
There's really nothing to say. We expect OKC to be the number
33:40
one seed. They've been the best team in
33:42
the NBA all season long and and play dominant basketball.
33:46
So we expected that and the Spurs be #2 There's a lot of
33:50
questions with the Spurs. Can they get into the playoffs
33:52
and win big games? We've seen it this year.
33:55
They've played good teams and they've played at a high level
33:58
and they played bad teams and played at a low level.
34:00
They've got a tremendous team. They got a bunch of good young
34:02
players. I, I love Dylan Harper, I love
34:06
webbing. Yama has been very, very good.
34:08
I, I, he's been a lot better than I thought he was going to
34:10
be. And Castle, he's been
34:12
sensational too. So they've got a ton of great
34:14
players. Darren Fox is still there.
34:16
They've Got Talent. As far as the Lakers are
34:19
concerned, I expect the Lakers to stay at three.
34:22
I, I think the Lakers are the third seed.
34:24
They're they played very well against the Knicks this year.
34:27
We've watched them play. I've watched them play at a high
34:29
level. They're playing right now.
34:31
If you look at it, they've won nine games in a row.
34:33
They're the hottest besides, besides the Thunder right now,
34:37
have won eleven games in a row. They are the hottest team in the
34:40
NBA and they're playing such a, such a, such a high level.
34:43
So the Lakers, the Rockets are the dangerous team out of all
34:46
these teams from the Nuggets, the Timberwolves, the Suns, the
34:49
Clippers, Trail Blazers, all these teams, the Rockets,
34:52
whoever matches up against the Rockets moving forward in this
34:55
tournament, they've got a ton of young talent.
34:57
They're they have a very good coach who needs to stay away
34:59
from the women. But if he stays away from away
35:01
from the women, this guy is a great coach at a high level.
35:04
He's been coach of the year and they have Kevin Durant who can
35:08
score at a high clip. But we've seen Kevin Durant in
35:12
big games not score at a high clip.
35:14
So what Kevin Garnett, what Kevin Durant is going to show up
35:18
week in and week out for the next couple of weeks until the
35:20
playoffs? That's the question.
35:22
And hopefully they keep him healthy because Kevin Durant has
35:25
a move over the years with Golden State, with OKC.
35:29
He was never 100% healthy in any of those years.
35:32
So he has to stay healthy. He's an older guy.
35:34
I want to see him play at a high level.
35:36
And we remember the Chris Paul times with James Harden.
35:40
They could never get over the hump and play at a high level
35:42
because they couldn't keep Elf. And that's that's the most
35:44
important thing, staying healthy and being healthy for the
35:46
playoffs. Yeah, I was always on the
35:48
Nuggets for a while for much of the season as being the number
35:50
2, the biggest threat to OK C But they've started to struggle
35:53
this last couple months. We'll see if they get back on
35:54
track. It's the Rockets.
35:55
Yeah, the Rockets are interesting because they've not
35:58
played as well offensively as a team in the second-half of the
36:00
season, but defensively they're still one of the best teams.
36:02
Like you said, Durant could take over a game at any time if he
36:04
does stay healthy. That's very interesting.
36:06
The Spurs, they're very well-rounded.
36:08
They probably they look like the second best team in the NBA
36:10
right now, but they're very young all at once.
36:12
OKC is obviously they're crowned until somebody takes it.
36:14
Yeah, I think OKC is the favorite to come out.
36:18
I think I was with you, Speedy. It's my first time ever
36:21
disagreeing with you. I don't know what's up with you
36:23
tonight, but I think that the Spurs, Wendy is still tender.
36:30
I think he's about an offseason away from being a total dominant
36:32
player right now. I don't think he's going to be
36:34
able to stay and sustain health in a long series.
36:38
So if it matches up with them in OK CI, think OK C beat them at
36:42
4243 at at worst. But I do think that Denver is a
36:47
sleeper. Another team that nobody's
36:50
really talking about is the Timberwolves.
36:52
I think the Timberwolves have exactly what they need.
36:54
I think they have missed the mark from a schematic precision
37:01
in the playoffs as of lately, but I do think they have all the
37:04
talent and the ability to knock one of the big guys out.
37:08
But I do think is he the OK C Denver is the favorites out of
37:13
the West. No way, Houston is definitely
37:16
going to be 1 of. Houston doesn't have an offense.
37:18
They don't have an offense. Talking about.
37:22
He's not favorite, but he didn't have an offense.
37:24
They have to. Forget the game, they struggle
37:26
with scoring. Really.
37:28
Yes, really. I'm watching.
37:30
I watch the game. OK, that's what so So they
37:32
struggle with scoring, but they're still putting up 100
37:34
points a game. Yeah, because nobody plays.
37:37
Stop. They're a good defensive team.
37:39
They're a good offensive. Team you get to the payouts,
37:41
they shrink down the court yes it.
37:43
Becomes a moment, it becomes a half court game.
37:46
It becomes a half court game, and you're going to tell me
37:49
right now the Nuggets have a better team and a better roster
37:52
than the Rockets? They don't.
37:54
They don't. As far as scoring, they actually
37:58
are like the third lowest of all the 10 teams that are in the
38:02
West picture right now that we just mentioned.
38:04
So there are lower scoring team. It's been more second-half of
38:07
the year. I, I was on this as well with
38:09
Houston and they're scoring kind of going down.
38:12
There's not running really great offense right now.
38:15
I think it might just be like a weird meshing situation with the
38:18
old KD. Right, All right, all right.
38:20
So so they're scoring. You're just saying they don't
38:23
score a lot. All right, all right, Here we
38:26
go. Here we go.
38:27
Here we go. Let me, let me, let me say
38:29
something here. Rockets and Spurs they they
38:32
scored 120. Rockets and Raptors 113.
38:36
Rockets and Nuggets The lowest score they have was 93.
38:39
Now look, one O 792 1116, one 17123.
38:46
Tonight they're going to score over 100.
38:48
They're not a bad scoring team. And in the playoffs it becomes a
38:52
defensive game. And guess what?
38:54
The Rockets are one of the best defensive teams in the whole Yes
38:58
they are. They're not.
39:00
Yes, they're not. Why still play?
39:02
Did you see what happened when they played the Lakers?
39:07
Oh please, the Lakers. Remember I said this, Remember I
39:14
said this. The Rockets are the team to
39:15
watch. They're.
39:16
Not scary because of their talent potential, but they're
39:20
not going to be any type of threat in the playoffs.
39:22
OK. And so and so are your Celtics.
39:25
So are your Celtics. Those Celtics, Eastern
39:29
Conference, real quick. Those Celtics have fallen back a
39:32
little bit. They're only a half game ahead
39:34
of the Knicks right now for second.
39:39
Obviously the Pistons are 51 and 19, but they lost Cade, so
39:42
that's a problem. Cavs are at 4th right now, and
39:45
those are pretty much going to be the top four in some order.
39:48
Then you have the Raptors and Hawks in a dead Heat for 5:00
39:52
and 6:00 with the Sixers. The Magic and the Heat and the
39:56
Hornets are all within two games of each other, five through 10,
40:00
and the Bucks are not going to make it.
40:02
So those are the only teams that are available.
40:04
But it's a real crapshoot between 5:00 and 10:00 who's
40:08
going to have to be in that playing game between Toronto,
40:10
Atlanta, who have the spots right now?
40:12
Technically, the Sixers, the Magic, the Heat and the Hornets.
40:16
Well, the Celtics have the easier schedule out of the two,
40:19
so they should hold on to that number two seed.
40:22
But they were the number two seed when they played the Knicks
40:24
in the second round last year. And we know what happened and I
40:27
don't want to hear that Tatum went down.
40:28
He was down at the end of the third game when they got their
40:31
butts whipped so and they were down 3 to nothing.
40:34
Who's won recently? What?
40:35
And we were up by 20. But it's a championship
40:39
hangover. But who?
40:40
Who's won recently? Celtics or or the Knicks?
40:43
What? Do you mean who's won lately?
40:45
Like who's Ashley won championships in the games?
40:47
Oh, stop with this championship crap.
40:49
No. What are we talking about that
40:51
what? Do you mean are we talking
40:52
about? Recreation.
40:54
No, we're talking about this year.
40:56
We're talking about this year, this year.
40:59
Not in the past, buddy. Not in the.
41:01
Past no matter what. All right, when the Knicks match
41:05
up against the Celtics, we'll have a bet.
41:09
And if you lose, you got to do something stupid on the show,
41:11
OK? I ain't worried about losing.
41:15
Remember, you said that you're going to have to do something.
41:17
Stupid if there's an injury that's got a shopping.
41:19
I don't want to hear that. I don't want to hear injury.
41:23
We will. We will definitely come back to
41:25
this. We got a couple of bits that we
41:27
can do that to come back to this speedy real quickly.
41:31
What do you got for us with those playing that play in mix
41:34
at 5 through 10? I would say the Miami Heat
41:37
definitely with the coaching is definitely the, I think the best
41:39
shot. Toronto got the upside that they
41:41
want to, I really trust. None, Errol.
41:44
We got our guest in the backstage.
41:46
Got one thing we got to do still.
41:47
Yes, and ladies and gentlemen, we call this the Golf Clap of
41:52
the Week. This deserves a golf clap.
41:55
No doubt. Golf clap.
41:57
Golf clap and ladies and gentlemen, the Golf Club of the
42:02
Week goes to the Seattle Seahawks as they sign their
42:06
stud, their stud wide receiver to a four year $168 million
42:12
contract and listen to this deal.
42:14
He is the highest paid wide receiver in the NFL now over
42:18
Jamar Chase 42.15 million per year and $120 million guaranteed
42:25
to JSN Jackson Smith and the jig by his been the best wide
42:31
receiver. You can argue him and you know
42:34
the one over there with the Rams who had a great season all
42:37
season long. Puka Nakua.
42:39
These two guys are are the best young wide receivers in the NFL
42:42
and Jackson Smith the jig but deserves it.
42:44
He had a great playoff run and and he played at a high level
42:48
all season long and doing what he was doing over there with the
42:51
Seattle Seahawks with a young quarter.
42:53
Well, not a young quarterback, a rookie quarterback in Seattle
42:55
because he was just signed, signed a three-year deal in, in,
43:00
I'm sorry, Sam Darnold, who he had to learn the offense on the
43:04
fly in the in the offseason and then have an opportunity to play
43:08
with Jackson Smith and Jigba. This was a great year for JSN
43:12
and and very well deserved. They need to pay his they need
43:14
to pay their young superstar and they did and off they go as I
43:20
expect Jackson Smith and Jigba to have another good season and
43:22
play at a high level. So congratulations to JSN
43:25
getting his 168, $1,000,000 and that's a sell.
43:32
And you can send that off to, you know, anybody you want.
43:36
I mean, I, I, I've been watching a lot of Top Gun.
43:39
Yeah. Anybody watch Top Gun?
43:40
I've watched the movie a million times and I'm watching the
43:42
Maverick movie. I've seen it's on Showtime all
43:45
the time now. So every time I pop on the TV,
43:48
I'm watching it. I'm like, oh, I like this movie.
43:50
I'm watching it. It's it's a great speed.
43:52
I got a great question in Top Top Gun, but you have to watch
43:57
the movie before I ask you that question.
43:58
Anyways, have you seen the new Top Gun?
44:01
I did. I did.
44:02
OK. Do you remember the last shot
44:04
that Maverick had before he loses all his bullets to knock
44:09
down the plane? Do you remember what number that
44:10
was? The number.
44:13
I'll give you a hint. He was a former great New York
44:16
Knick. 33. That's right.
44:20
Patrick Keeling, I. Thought it was a three, I wasn't
44:22
sure if it was 33 or 31. It's a good question.
44:25

45:03
We got a new Co host on the show and Quinton couples and Q is
45:06
going to add a different type of personality to the show and
45:10
obviously arguing and debating and pissing me off, which he's
45:14
done quite a few times He's. Taken on the Mikey C role very
45:16
well so far. You know, you know somebody
45:19
needs. Do you want to jerk me off?
45:22
Or something of that magnitude. Hopefully they stay away from
45:25

45:30
Anyways, that's it for our show, so thank you to all the fans.
45:33
Who do we have on Thursdays? All right, returning to the
45:35
show, you wanted to come back on during March Madness?
45:37
I tried to get him on last week. He couldn't do it, but our
45:39
friend Dan Purcell will be back on president of Scout Central
45:41
and a former Pelicans executive. He'll be coming on at 8:30.
45:44
This guy knows everything about the talent that's coming out of
45:48
this year's draft class. As a matter of fact, four years
45:51
ago he came on the show and he told us about this draft class
45:54
and he told us watch out for 2026 and 2027 on the talent
46:00
that's coming out. And he said 2026 is the best
46:03
class since LeBron James's class.
46:05
So. And I would love to hear his
46:08
take on Kamboozer, Peterson and Abeza and where he thinks these
46:13
guys are going to fall and who does he think is going to be the
46:17
better player in the NBA. So very interesting.
46:22
It'll be fun to get into that conversation with him on
46:25
Thursday. Well, we've got three days
46:28
before Thursday. Well, actually 2 and we got a
46:32
lot of news, ladies and gentlemen, and a lot more to get
46:34
into. And we have the Sweet 16
46:36
starting Thursday. So eventually everybody's going
46:39
to see my number and my name on top of the board because Quentin
46:43
Couples is going to dip and I will rise and I will tell.
46:48
You, I told him before it happened, man.
46:49
I told you it wasn't. Good.
46:50
I just want to let you know who won.
46:52
I just want you to know who won the bracket last year, buddy.
46:55
I did, I did. And I'm going to win this year
46:58
too, so you can kiss my rear. Just so you know.
47:02
There's nothing to do with. Well, actually, it's all luck.
47:05
But you're right. Good luck to me, even though I
47:07
don't believe in luck, I believe in.
47:10
Butt plug. Anyways, that's it for our show.
47:13
Ladies and gentlemen. We'll talk to you Thursday.
47:14
Good night. It is the worldwide sports radio
47:18
