- 0:19Speaker 1: and Taylor Jenkins now in their coaching search a couple
- 0:23Speaker 1: of rejected coaches. Also, some in the media are now
- 0:26Speaker 1: convinced that the Thunders MVP Shay Jogas Alexander is suffering
- 0:32Speaker 1: from fatigue. Now he's down playing it. How do you
- 0:36Speaker 1: read the room on this one? People making excuses that
- 0:40Speaker 1: the reason he didn't play well down the stretch is
- 0:42Speaker 1: because he's he's injured. What's your perspective on that? And
- 0:45Speaker 1: thumbs up or thumbs down to Magic Johnson who says
- 0:49Speaker 1: a superstar is a person who can go to on
- 0:55Speaker 1: the road and sell out the building. We'll talk about
- 0:57Speaker 1: that and more right now here. It is our number three.
- 1:01Speaker 1: It's just a nick. It's it's all it is. It's
- 1:04Speaker 1: just a nick. Welcome in the beginning of another hour.

- 2:26Speaker 1: Coaching Debacle, follow up Coaching, Dibaco, follow up Coaching, Carousel,
- 2:32Speaker 1: pro bouncy Ball. After twenty percent, twenty percent of the
- 2:38Speaker 1: NBA has rejected the phishing efforts by the New York Knickerbockers,
- 2:45Speaker 1: we have had a change of heart, not by one
- 2:48Speaker 1: of the coaches that the Knicks tried to hire something else.
- 2:53Speaker 1: I don't even saw this or not, maybe not. We
- 2:55Speaker 1: are told now that the Knicks are having a change
- 2:59Speaker 1: in playing. I know you're very concerned about this. The
- 3:03Speaker 1: Knicks for years have had the moral low ground when
- 3:06Speaker 1: it comes to doing the right thing. So the Knicks
- 3:09Speaker 1: are now planning to pursue Mike Brown and Taylor Jenkins
- 3:17Speaker 1: to the sad trombone ye Brown, vagabond coach. Vagabond coach
- 3:24Speaker 1: who did have some success riding the coattails of Lebron
- 3:29Speaker 1: James with the Cavs and then went to the Lakers
- 3:32Speaker 1: for like a minute and then coached in Sacramento. Now Jenkins,
- 3:37Speaker 1: he was unceremoniously dumped fired by the Grizzlies just before
- 3:43Speaker 1: the playoffs started. They said bye bye and they got.
- 3:48Speaker 2: Rid of him.
- 3:49Speaker 1: Not exactly flying high in Memphis. So let us discuss
- 3:54Speaker 1: the question what can we take away from the Knickerbockers
- 3:59Speaker 1: kicking at tires on guys like Mike Brown and Taylor
- 4:02Speaker 1: Jenkins for their head coaching job. So yeah, I've got
- 4:08Speaker 1: wagou saucy and showbiz. We will combine all of these
- 4:15Speaker 1: things together, and we're gonna make some fresh produced is
- 4:19Speaker 1: what We're going to make some right off the rack
- 4:21Speaker 1: fresh produce. Absolutely. I know that's a harrowing experience for
- 4:25Speaker 1: some of you to have to eat that. Now, First
- 4:27Speaker 1: of all, it tells me that if you're now considering
- 4:33Speaker 1: Mike Brown and Taylor Jenkins, you're on the ropes. You
- 4:36Speaker 1: are on the ropes. You are ready to cry uncle, Uncle,
- 4:40Speaker 1: save me uncle. Pivoting from a bevy a bevy of
- 4:48Speaker 1: coaches that are currently employed and being rejected, going up
- 4:53Speaker 1: a blind alley and just being rejected at every opportunity.
- 4:58Speaker 1: And so now you're looking at these coaches who are
- 5:01Speaker 1: not all that exciting. Going from from TIBs to Mike
- 5:05Speaker 1: Brown or Taylor Jenkins is the equivalent of going out
- 5:08Speaker 1: to a nice meal with some wagou and then instead
- 5:12Speaker 1: of that, you end up at a gas station eating
- 5:14Speaker 1: the sushi at a gas station. Like that's a downgrade,
- 5:18Speaker 1: not even a downey. That's a disaster, is what that is.
- 5:20Speaker 1: If you're the Nicks. Now, I'm a fan of Tom Thibodeau.
- 5:25Speaker 1: I thought the guy did a good job. He provided
- 5:27Speaker 1: some identity and not the coaches matter all that much.
- 5:31Speaker 1: But he did give a foundation of grit and toughness.
- 5:39Speaker 1: And whether you like it or not, the garden was rocket.
- 5:42Speaker 1: You know, all those annoying celebrities. They were hanging out
- 5:45Speaker 1: having a grand time there and then it all caved
- 5:48Speaker 1: in against the Pacers. But now now they're looking at what.
- 5:52Speaker 1: So Tom Thibodeau was a very hands on guy. He
- 5:57Speaker 1: incorporated his beliefs into the the machine. And so now
- 6:01Speaker 1: they're looking at what a corporate traffic cop, some middle
- 6:06Speaker 1: manager without any real power, who's going to be the
- 6:09Speaker 1: new coach of the Knickerbockers. And as we mentioned, Mike
- 6:13Speaker 1: Brown was on the Lebron express train in Cleveland. He
- 6:18Speaker 1: had an old Kobe Bryant with the Lakers. Now, when
- 6:22Speaker 1: people tell you about Mike Brown and basketball, they say sweetheart, sweetheart,
- 6:29Speaker 1: good man, Mike Brown, big smile, laughs, a lot, good person,
- 6:34Speaker 1: Mike Brown. They don't say great coach, good x's and
- 6:38Speaker 1: o's guy, good locker room guy. They don't say that.
- 6:41Speaker 1: They say sweetheart, good guy, not a great coach. And
- 6:45Speaker 1: as far as Jenkins, I actually think Jenkins is a
- 6:48Speaker 1: pretty good coach. However, he allowed Ja Morant to run
- 6:52Speaker 1: around like a loose firecracker with no concern under his watch.
- 7:00Speaker 1: And he said, well, John Morant was the star. What's
- 7:02Speaker 1: he supposed to do. Well, you've got to have some
- 7:04Speaker 1: kind of boundaries in there. Now. My advice, unsolicited overnight
- 7:09Speaker 1: talk radio advice to the Knicks. You go Eminem, you
- 7:16Speaker 1: go M and M. I'm not talking peanut, butter, I'm
- 7:20Speaker 1: not talking peanut. I'm not talking No, I'm not talking regularly, Eminem.
- 7:25Speaker 1: Michael Malone, that's who you call. You go out there
- 7:30Speaker 1: and have a public courtship with Michael Malone. Now, the
- 7:33Speaker 1: word on the street is he's happy taking the Kronky
- 7:36Speaker 1: family money from the Nuggets, and he's not all that
- 7:40Speaker 1: motivated to come right back into coaching. He wants to
- 7:42Speaker 1: take some time off, enjoy himself, do some more bad television. However,
- 7:47Speaker 1: if you're the Knicks, you go out there and you
- 7:50Speaker 1: play foot see, You play foot see with Michael Malone,
- 7:55Speaker 1: and you give those puppy dog eyes there and send
- 7:58Speaker 1: a box of chocolates and some fly hours over for
- 8:01Speaker 1: the former Nuggets coach, and Malone would take the job.
- 8:06Speaker 1: He's a native New Yorker, so he's from there. I
- 8:09Speaker 1: think he's from Queens. If I remember, he's got a
- 8:13Speaker 1: pretty good resume. He's also got the kind of gumption
- 8:16Speaker 1: that would work in Gotham. So that's the move, right,
- 8:21Speaker 1: that's a turning point move. And well, it's a stupid decision.
- 8:25Speaker 1: It was an irrational decision to get rid of Tom Thibodeau,
- 8:28Speaker 1: to bring in Michael Malone. That's about as good as
- 8:31Speaker 1: you can do at this point. Now, secondly, some let's
- 8:35Speaker 1: go to the finals. Because there are some in the media.
- 8:37Speaker 1: I've been hearing this and reading this here for the
- 8:39Speaker 1: last day or so. Some of the media elites are
- 8:45Speaker 1: convinced that the most valuable player of the NBA for
- 8:50Speaker 1: Oklahoma City, Shay Jugas Alexander, is suffering from fatigue. Now,
- 8:56Speaker 1: he was asked about this, he downplayed it. But how
- 8:59Speaker 1: do you read the room on this, because there are
- 9:02Speaker 1: some very prominent basketball media dopes that are convinced SGA
- 9:08Speaker 1: is messed up. So here's how I read the room.
- 9:12Speaker 1: One word saucy. Saucy it's weak. Sauce is what it is. Right,
- 9:17Speaker 1: This is crank it up. You got to crank it up.
- 9:21Speaker 1: You got to crank it up. This is cranking up the
- 9:23Speaker 1: excuse machine. Yet again, the people that carry the water,
- 9:27Speaker 1: or in this case, the kool aid in the media,
- 9:30Speaker 1: are creating reasons why the favorite NBA darling of the
- 9:37Speaker 1: moment wrote the vomit comet in the fourth quarter of
- 9:42Speaker 1: Game three of the Finals. So now it's fatigue. Really,
- 9:49Speaker 1: boo hoo hoo, is what I sah? He's it's fatigue.
- 9:52Speaker 1: Cut him a brake, So we're playing the he's tired.
- 9:59Speaker 1: Isn't that part of how this works. It's supposed to
- 10:01Speaker 1: be a war of attrition, and if you're wearing down,
- 10:05Speaker 1: you don't get the big bling bling at the end.
- 10:07Speaker 3: There.
- 10:09Speaker 1: I don't believe that it is he's fatigued. So in
- 10:12Speaker 1: order for this to be the case, just to set
- 10:15Speaker 1: the record straight, Sga, the MVP, the face of Oklahoma
- 10:19Speaker 1: City Basketball and one of the people the NBA marketing
- 10:22Speaker 1: machine is trying to sell to people that don't want
- 10:25Speaker 1: to buy the product, and is averaging thirty plus points
- 10:30Speaker 1: a game and all this stuff, and all of a sudden,
- 10:33Speaker 1: now because he plays bad in the fourth quarter, he
- 10:36Speaker 1: gets out played by a backup for Indiana in Matherin,
- 10:41Speaker 1: and so now it's well, he didn't get his flintstone vitamins.
- 10:44Speaker 1: And that's the problem the media lemmings, and I know
- 10:49Speaker 1: some of these people. You build these people up like gods,
- 10:54Speaker 1: and then the second that things don't go well, the
- 10:58Speaker 1: moment you sign, you sign off on living in Suckville.
- 11:05Speaker 1: It's all. He's exhausted. Give him a break. He's not tired.
- 11:09Speaker 1: He's not. And if he is, he's not that good. Right,
- 11:13Speaker 1: you know what happened. He just got out played. He
- 11:15Speaker 1: got out play. That's it. It's not that he was fatigued.
- 11:18Speaker 1: He's in play. Well, do better, be better. I don't
- 11:22Speaker 1: want to hear about your fatigue. You know, we want
- 11:25Speaker 1: to see you go out there with some machismo, had
- 11:29Speaker 1: some vimen vigor in the fourth quarter, and get it done.
- 11:32Speaker 1: It's the NBA bleeping Finals. You're not in kindergarten, and
- 11:37Speaker 1: it's nap time. And then when you wake up, you'll
- 11:39Speaker 1: have your juice box and you'll have your your peanut
- 11:44Speaker 1: butter and jelly sandwich, and then that's it and you'll
- 11:48Speaker 1: watch cartoons. All right, final thought, So we flipped the
- 11:52Speaker 1: page here. Magic Johnson, that's right, that Magic Johnson. He
- 11:58Speaker 1: did a television interview recently and he was asked what
- 12:03Speaker 1: his definition of a superstar is. Did you see this? No,
- 12:08Speaker 1: you did not. Well, here's the magic quote from Magic Johnson.
- 12:13Speaker 1: He said a quote, a superstar is a person who
- 12:17Speaker 1: can go on the road and sell the building out close.
- 12:22Speaker 1: Quote that's from Irvin Magic Johnson. That's it. That's the definition,
- 12:27Speaker 1: short and sweet. So let's play the game. Thumbs up
- 12:33Speaker 1: thumbs down on Magic Johnson saying a superstar is a
- 12:37Speaker 1: person who can go on the road and sell out
- 12:41Speaker 1: the building. So am I going thumbs up or thumbs down?
- 12:44Speaker 1: I'm going sideways thumb. I'm going sideways. That's a curveball.
- 12:48Speaker 1: Sideways thumb is what I'm doing. And here's why, because
- 12:53Speaker 1: I get the the mindset of what Magic is saying.
- 12:58Speaker 1: You know, he's not talking about statistics. He's not talking
- 13:02Speaker 1: about all the nerd stats which are very popular right now,
- 13:05Speaker 1: the true shooting percentage or any of that stuff. Magic
- 13:08Speaker 1: is merely talking bo not body oder box office. Right.
- 13:13Speaker 1: It's show business and Magic, as much as anyone in
- 13:18Speaker 1: NBA history, is responsible for bringing the glitz and glamour
- 13:23Speaker 1: to the NBA. And that goes back to the early
- 13:27Speaker 1: nineteen eighties with Magic Johnson and we are looking at
- 13:31Speaker 1: forty five years almost of Magic Johnson and the connection
- 13:35Speaker 1: between entertainment and pro basketball. So if anyone would know
- 13:39Speaker 1: about that, it's magic, it's Magic Johnson, it's show business.
- 13:45Speaker 1: There is something do that and the true superstars like
- 13:49Speaker 1: Michael Jordan was appointment viewing. And as much as I
- 13:53Speaker 1: loathed Lebron James and we'd like to goof on Lebron, Lebron,
- 13:58Speaker 1: Steph Curry, the late Kobe Brian, those guys, when they
- 14:02Speaker 1: came to your town, it was an event. You couldn't
- 14:07Speaker 1: just buy a ticket the night of the game for
- 14:10Speaker 1: five dollars on the secondary market, and you just couldn't. Charismatic,
- 14:16Speaker 1: influential are words that come to mind, and you see
- 14:21Speaker 1: them in the building and it's just a little different.
- 14:26Speaker 1: And I know this when I started doing this kind
- 14:30Speaker 1: of stuff and I went to the NBA games and I
- 14:32Speaker 1: covered some really bad Clipper teams in my twenties, and
- 14:38Speaker 1: I remember the night that like Larry Bird would come
- 14:41Speaker 1: in with the Boston Celtics, there was just a little
- 14:43Speaker 1: more buzz. Everyone knew the Clippers were going to lose,
- 14:46Speaker 1: but there was just a little more buzz when Bird
- 14:49Speaker 1: and McHale and those guys would come in the Chicago Bulls.
- 14:52Speaker 1: It was the same thing as opposed to a different
- 14:54Speaker 1: night when and I even picture, you know, random when
- 14:58Speaker 1: Reggie THEUS and the Sacramento came came in, or even
- 15:02Speaker 1: the Sonics had some good teams in those years with
- 15:04Speaker 1: the Xavier McDaniel and Tom Chambers and guys like that,
- 15:07Speaker 1: but there was no buzz for those teams when they
- 15:10Speaker 1: would come in. There just wasn't so, you know. And
- 15:14Speaker 1: and by the way, you can be an MVP and
- 15:18Speaker 1: still not move the needle. Let me give you my
- 15:21Speaker 1: evidence on that. Shay jogis Alexander. He just doesn't have
- 15:27Speaker 1: a presence the NBA and less I like you former
- 15:30Speaker 1: Clipper and all the great player, good ball player, he
- 15:34Speaker 1: just doesn't have it. And in terms of that, that
- 15:38Speaker 1: Rasmataz and he's trying to prop him up and they're
- 15:41Speaker 1: polishing him, and they're making this big presentation. The people
- 15:44Speaker 1: aren't buying it, right, don't sell the steak, sell the sizzle.
- 15:49Speaker 1: People like the sizzle. Now you gotta have the steak,
- 15:53Speaker 1: but they'd rather go and buy the sizzle. And we
- 15:57Speaker 1: live in the age of engagement on social media all
- 16:02Speaker 1: that stuff, and you want to see something. You want
- 16:05Speaker 1: to see that that aura, that charisma. Must see, whether
- 16:11Speaker 1: it's television or must see TikTok, you gotta see it.
- 16:16Speaker 1: Seeing is believing, Seeing is believing. It is the Ben

- 19:12Speaker 1: Chicago Cubs TV broadcast shows that showed that Justin Turner
- 19:18Speaker 1: wearing a blank in the dugout and named him the
- 19:22Speaker 1: fan of the day. How great is that to be
- 19:26Speaker 1: the fan of the day for the iconic Chicago Cubs.
- 19:30Speaker 1: What an amazing thing. So that is the mallor riddle
- 19:34Speaker 1: of the day. Let's see, does anyone know the answer?
- 19:38Speaker 1: And Scrooge says Justin in Cincinnati's Sunday church outfit. Yeah,
- 19:45Speaker 1: that's that's what Justin looks like when he goes to
- 19:49Speaker 1: bed and when he wakes up. That's what he looks like.
- 19:51Speaker 1: That's what I've heard from from Robbie King. Rory writes
- 19:54Speaker 1: and says he was wearing a Bucky's T shirt. Yeah,
- 19:58Speaker 1: I miss I miss BUCkies. We haven't got any Bucky
- 20:01Speaker 1: stuff in a while. We used to get Bucky's. Those
- 20:03Speaker 1: Bucky nuggets were great, and some guys hooked us up
- 20:06Speaker 1: with that, but I haven't had those. I think I'm
- 20:08Speaker 1: out now, I'm out of my supply. Late night drug

- 20:16Speaker 1: carry mask from Milkman. Mike and Colorado berg Dog said

- 20:36Speaker 1: by you, Eloy, that's right, during a global pandemic, baseball's
- 20:40Speaker 1: hardest season, only a sixty game season, much harder. Anything
- 20:45Speaker 1: goes wrong, you're done, and the Dodgers won it. Greatest
- 20:49Speaker 1: worldsare and Justin Turner was part of that. A man

- 21:30Speaker 1: the in like the late seventies and the eighties. I
- 21:33Speaker 1: love the the fact that the Chicken was a radio
- 21:35Speaker 1: station promotion. It was a radio station in San Diego.
- 21:39Speaker 1: That was good promotion. Yeah, it started as a bit
- 21:43Speaker 1: for the radio station and then then became this thing

- 22:28Speaker 1: All right, Loraina, do you have an answer to the
- 22:30Speaker 1: Malard riddle of the day. The Chicago Cup television broadcast
- 22:33Speaker 1: this week showed Justin Turner, veteran Major League baseball player,
- 22:37Speaker 1: wearing blank in the dugout and named him the fan
- 22:41Speaker 1: of the day. Well, since you know Aaron Judge is
- 22:44Speaker 1: his name.
- 22:45Speaker 2: What if he was wearing one of those old fashioned
- 22:48Speaker 2: white wigs that the judges used to wear.
- 22:50Speaker 1: Yeah, that would be funny. But this is Justin Turner.
- 22:54Speaker 1: This is somebody not you know, I don't know. Maybe
- 22:58Speaker 1: he could have warned here's a dated reference a Tina
- 23:01Speaker 1: Turner outfit. Yeah, big wheels, keep on turning, baby. There
- 23:07Speaker 1: you go with the correct answer. Chicago Cup TV broadcast
- 23:11Speaker 1: showed veteran baseball player Justin Turner wearing a fake test
- 23:16Speaker 1: in the dugout and named him the fan of today.
- 23:24Speaker 1: Yeah he had to that. Well, it's just this is
- 23:29Speaker 1: kink I don't know. It wasn't me. I didn't know
- 23:32Speaker 1: he had it. Pretty It's pretty funny because the CUB
- 23:34Speaker 1: broadcast shows him and he's he's jumping up and down,
- 23:38Speaker 1: kind of shaking the fake device. And the CUB broadcasters
- 23:43Speaker 1: realized what they had just shown on television, and they
- 23:46Speaker 1: muted their microphones because they I'm assuming they couldn't stop
- 23:50Speaker 1: laughing that. On the Chicago cub owned TV channel, they
- 23:56Speaker 1: show one of the Cup players in the dugout shaking
- 23:59Speaker 1: his fake just outstanding. That's the Cubs. That is the Cubs.
- 24:06Speaker 1: All right's go to the phones and let's say hello

- 26:00Speaker 1: Look at that you got. You got, you got under
- 26:03Speaker 1: his skin. That's awesome. You got so you upset him
- 26:06Speaker 1: so much that he took your call off the air
- 26:08Speaker 1: to rip you a new one. That's outstanding. That's good trolling.
- 26:11Speaker 1: That's a solid troll move by you.
- 26:14Speaker 6: That was smart because you would have whooped my ass.
- 26:16Speaker 6: But I'm waiting until he's like shifty something. I'm going
- 26:19Speaker 6: to take him up on the offer. Now, I'm just kidding.

- 31:38Speaker 2: like I feel like an understanding person who just like
- 31:40Speaker 2: is dealing with issues. So like when I grew up,
- 31:42Speaker 2: I grew up with the police chief of the LAPD
- 31:44Speaker 2: STANMI with Bill Bratton. So I was working on this
- 31:47Speaker 2: with the LAPD. I dropped Bill's name, told him I,
- 31:50Speaker 2: you know, I was a big police family person. So
- 31:53Speaker 2: we were under the understanding that so many people are
- 31:55Speaker 2: standing outside of the studio, that the lines are being
- 31:58Speaker 2: jammed by the signals of the callers and protesters all
- 32:00Speaker 2: at the same time. It's a big Joye Soro's conspiracy

- 32:14Speaker 2: you know that might be there. The thing is, callers
- 32:18Speaker 2: need to call sports radio. If they can't call, there
- 32:21Speaker 2: will be civil unrest. And if you get the sports
- 32:24Speaker 2: radio calls out on the street, you're not gonna You're
- 32:26Speaker 2: not gonna like how they protest. I mean, you get
- 32:29Speaker 2: these trust on babies and these NEPO babies out on

- 32:32Speaker 2: their parents cell phone, their parents' credit card, they got
- 32:34Speaker 2: nice bosons. You get these sports radio fans out there,
- 32:37Speaker 2: the whole America is gonna get just so so gone
