• 2:18
  You just heard them, Mr. Aaron Fish Fishman, our executive
• 2:22
  producer, board OPS and producing right in the
• 2:25
  background, Mr. Tommy Poops. Mr. Nick Goody will be joining
• 2:29
  us once again. He's been out in Cleveland doing
• 2:32
  the pregame and postgame show for the Guardians over the last
• 2:35
  past week, so we're very happy to have him back a little bit
• 2:38
  later in the show. Yes, Mr. Nathan, our PR guy is
• 2:42
  hiding. He's lurking, our interns and
• 2:44
  everything. I actually had a chance when I
• 2:46
  was on the ferry. I was looking up Jabba
• 2:48
  Chamberlain some looking at statistics and trying to compare
• 2:51
  his statistics to Ian Kennedy and Phillip Hughes and I came
• 2:56
  upon this 9 minute video which was posted up four years ago
• 3:00
  called The Summer of Java. You can check it out on YouTube
• 3:04
  and it is a 9 minute and 46 second love fest for Jabba
• 3:10
  Chamberlain. Yes, this kid who?
• 3:13
  And by the way, it was about 5-6 thousand people checked it out
• 3:15
  and viewed it. It was like a love fest.
• 3:18
  No matter how much trials and tribulations you had over a 3
• 3:24
  1/2 year span. Jabba, he was comparing your
• 3:26
  numbers to some of the greatest pictures of all time and in some
• 3:29
  of those numbers really were interesting.
• 3:32
  When a guy like you who didn't give up an earned run in like I
• 3:37
  think it was I, I don't remember exactly, but it was like Four
• 3:41
  Seasons. You didn't give up an earned run
• 3:43
  in like a certain amount of time and you had like 40 strikeouts
• 3:47
  when you came into the major leagues without any walks or
• 3:50
  something like that. It was some ridiculous number.
• 3:53
  I don't remember what he was saying.
• 3:55
  I wish I I should have wrote it down before I came on the show,
• 3:58
  but check it out. It's called the Summer of Jabba.
• 4:01
  It's actually really, really good.
• 4:03
  It's, it's at the 9 minute documentary of Jabba
• 4:07
  Chamberlain's career rolled up in 9 1/2 minutes.
• 4:10
  So, and by the way, his I, I think his Gmail has your number
• 4:17
  and Derek Jeter's number, his two favorite players growing up
• 4:20
  as, as a Yankee fan. So yours and Derek Jeter's
• 4:23
  number was at the back of his e-mail address.
• 4:27
  So pretty interesting. I actually enjoyed it.
• 4:30
  I got a got a chance to get to know you a little bit better
• 4:33
  behind the scenes. I mean, in his his eyes at
• 4:35
  least. Anyways, ESPN reports that the
• 4:39
  Los Angeles Lakers and Luca Doncic have agreed to a
• 4:42
  three-year, $165 million contract extension to keep Luca
• 4:48
  in LA. The deal has an opt out in 2028,
• 4:53
  which would then allow Luca to be eligible for a five year Max
• 4:57
  deal with the Lakers, which could keep him in LA for the
• 5:00
  majority of the next decade. At the press conference on
• 5:05
  Saturday to celebrate Lucas Extension, most of the Lakers
• 5:09
  were in attendance minus LeBron James.
• 5:13
  LeBron, yes, has signed his player option for the upcoming
• 5:18
  season as well as he should. But Lebron's camp and Lakers GM
• 5:22
  Rob Pelinka are playing a more cat and mouse game than
• 5:27
  committing to each other for this year with LeBron, who turns
• 5:32
  41 in December going into his 23rd NBA season.
• 5:38
  In Lucas first postseason. Yes, as a Laker he became the
• 5:43
  5th Laker ever to average 30 points, 5 rebounds and five
• 5:47
  assists in a game in a series. Also, Men's Health Magazine did
• 5:53
  a feature on Luka Doncic in the offseason conditioning and
• 5:57
  mention how he had how he made major changes of his body after
• 6:04
  sharp criticism from Mavericks GMO God Nico Harrison which led
• 6:09
  to his departure from Dallas before the trade deadline last
• 6:14
  year. First of all, for everybody to
• 6:17
  not understand, the LJA is now the LDA Luca Dodgic Association.
• 6:25
  Yes, it's transitioning for the Lakers.
• 6:28
  The fact is, LeBron James's butt hurt.
• 6:31
  That's what he is, the great LeBron James's butt hurt that
• 6:35
  the Lakers have this love fest for the one and only Luca.
• 6:39
  Everybody knew this was going to happen.
• 6:42
  I have said this over and over again and Le Bron is not going
• 6:47
  to be there. He is not staying there by the
• 6:49
  trade deadline When the Lakers realize they're not a very good
• 6:53
  team and they decide, hey, you know what, we got to trade these
• 6:56
  young pieces away because we want to be buyers in the
• 6:59
  offseason next year when there are two or maybe 3 superstars
• 7:04
  that could be eligible to go to the Lakers.
• 7:06
  Well, they got to move Le Bron James's contract because Le Bron
• 7:10
  James is going to cry all year. And I'm going to tell you this
• 7:14
  right now, don't be surprised if LeBron James plays more games
• 7:18
  early this season than he ever has.
• 7:21
  You know why he's going to do that?
• 7:23
  Because he wants to show GMs and he wants to show the Lakers.
• 7:26
  He still has a lot left in him. I do not believe LeBron James
• 7:30
  planned to leave anytime soon. The guy is averaging almost 25,
• 7:35
  eight and seven. How many 42 year olds can do
• 7:40
  that? There's only one that I can
• 7:42
  remember in the NBA, and that is Mr. LeBron James.
• 7:46
  He's the only one. The fact is right now, Laker
• 7:49
  fans are going to sit here and they're going to try to find
• 7:51
  reasons why Luca is not going to work.
• 7:55
  And maybe because he's not that. He's not that superstar player
• 7:59
  that you want there. Lucas is a great player, but he
• 8:02
  is he the prime guy? Is he the the Magic Johnson,
• 8:06
  Kobe Bryant, Mamba? No, Lucas, the boring guy.
• 8:10
  Luca likes to go to the bars and get drunk and hang out with his
• 8:13
  buddies and stay behind the scenes.
• 8:15
  Not LeBron James trying to be a producer or trying to sell his
• 8:19
  damn underwear or some other things that he's trying to toy
• 8:22
  away, if you know what I mean. Ask the WNZ.
• 8:25
  The fact is LeBron James is LeBron James and Luca is Luca.
• 8:30
  Now, as far as the Lakers are concerned, the Lakers love this.
• 8:34
  Why do they love this? And everybody's going to sit
• 8:36
  there. Why do they love that LeBron
• 8:37
  James and Luca have this, this festive hatred for one another.
• 8:42
  Here's the reason why. It's going to put Fannie's in
• 8:44
  the seats. It's going to make people want
• 8:48
  to come and watch these two guys, see if they can get along
• 8:52
  on the sidelines and who the ball is going to go to at the
• 8:56
  end of the game. It used to go to LeBron, now
• 8:58
  it's going to go to Luca. How is that going to work?
• 9:01
  Is it going to go to Bronie? And by the way, does Luca
• 9:04
  actually like Bronie James there with that roster or being a part
• 9:08
  of the Lakers organization? Because it's Lucas teams now.
• 9:11
  Lucas team now. I just, I don't know.
• 9:14
  And by the way, everybody's going to ask, well, where's
• 9:17
  LeBron going to go? So if if he decides that he
• 9:19
  wants to be traded at the trade deadline, there's quite a few
• 9:22
  teams that could be eligible to get him.
• 9:26
  Everybody keeps talking about the Golden State Warriors.
• 9:28
  They can make moves. There are players that they
• 9:30
  haven't signed yet. I don't know if it's Golden
• 9:33
  State. Every single thing in my heart
• 9:35
  believes it could be the Houston.
• 9:38
  Yes, and I'll say this, it could be Houston, the Rockets that go
• 9:43
  after LeBron James. And here's the reason why.
• 9:46
  Houston's got a good young roster.
• 9:48
  They don't have to trade much. They'll trade away one piece of
• 9:51
  that roster, 1 youngster to trade him for LeBron, and they
• 9:56
  bring LeBron James over there with Kevin Durant.
• 9:58
  Two guys that wanted to play with each other, two guys there
• 10:01
  at the tail end of their career, and two guys that want to win a
• 10:04
  championship together. Now you have another idiot over
• 10:07
  there as a head coach. Even though he's done wonders
• 10:10
  over there, he doesn't know how to keep his thing in his pants.
• 10:14
  But maybe LeBron can help him with that.
• 10:15
  Maybe the leadership of LeBron James can help him with that.
• 10:19
  The fact is, right now LeBron might have 3 rosters that he'd
• 10:24
  be interested in playing for. And two of those rosters I just
• 10:27
  named, the other one could be New York.
• 10:30
  Yes, you heard it from me, the New York Knicks.
• 10:33
  And everybody's going to say, well, he never wanted to play
• 10:36
  for the Knicks. He never wanted to go to New
• 10:38
  York. There's a lot of reasons why it
• 10:40
  would make sense. 1 He is a big super upper * Madison Square
• 10:45
  Garden. Finish your career in Madison
• 10:47
  Square Garden. Kobe never did that.
• 10:50
  Jordan never did that. Magic never did that, Bird never
• 10:55
  did that. Go to Manhattan and win a
• 10:58
  championship with Jalen Brunson And those the those, I don't
• 11:03
  want to say anything because I'm a Knick fan.
• 11:04
  But that debacle of a team or what we saw in the Eastern
• 11:09
  Conference finals, maybe he's the guy that gets him over the
• 11:12
  hump. The fact is, whatever he decides
• 11:16
  to do, whatever the Lakers decide to do, it's not going to
• 11:20
  be pretty by the end of this season.
• 11:23
  LeBron James is not going to be a Laker.
• 11:25
  Mark my word it. What is the betting favorites
• 11:28
  here in Vegas? Does anybody believe by the
• 11:30
  trade deadline LeBron James is a Laker?
• 11:32
  Because I'm going to tell you this right now.
• 11:34
  If it's high that he is, make a bet because he is not going to
• 11:38
  be a Laker at the trade deadline, I will put all the
• 11:40
  money on the line. What is it?
• 11:41
  Is there a betting odds? Does anybody have betting odds
• 11:44
  on that? I can't see it.
• 11:46
  What'd you say with with LeBron? Make it to the trade deadline.
• 11:48
  Yes, the trade deadline, because Lebron's going to have to prove
• 11:51
  that he's going to play enough games where GM's are going to be
• 11:54
  willing to make a move to bring them in.
• 11:56
  Because we all know over the years, LeBron James has this
• 12:00
  thing where he decides, hey, you know what?
• 12:02
  I don't want to play this week. Oh, I don't want to play two
• 12:04
  games this week and I'm going to sit out two of these because I
• 12:07
  don't want to be there. I don't want to play there.
• 12:08
  I don't want to play against this crappy team.
• 12:11
  I don't want to play in Charlie because the Hornets stink.
• 12:13
  You know, that's that's the way LeBron James plays.
• 12:16
  If LeBron James shows that he is going to go out there and he's
• 12:20
  going to play a significant amount of games that he has in
• 12:23
  the first half of the season over the last couple of years,
• 12:26
  maybe GM's would say, hey, you know what?
• 12:28
  Maybe we have a hungry LeBron James.
• 12:31
  Maybe we have a LeBron James that wants to win another
• 12:33
  championship and tie Kobe Bryant because right now he's got 4.
• 12:38
  If he wants to be considered and a lot of people think Kobe's
• 12:41
  better than him, I don't. I think he's the second greatest
• 12:44
  basketball player of all time because of statistics.
• 12:47
  But if he wants to be considered in the same realm as Kobe
• 12:50
  Bryant, as Tyler Harrison over the years says, not a chance in
• 12:54
  hell. Well, he needs to win that 5th
• 12:55
  title and he's never going to be considered Michael Jordan
• 12:59
  because Michael Jordan went to six finals and won all of them
• 13:04
  and never lost. So these are the facts Jack.
• 13:07
  It is now the LDA over there in Lakerville.
• 13:10
  It's no longer the LJA and Rob Pelinka, Kobe Bryants ex agent
• 13:17
  and running this stupid team to the ground as we've said plenty
• 13:20
  of times on the show of the years, because he's been there
• 13:23
  quite a few years. I think that this organization
• 13:26
  is starting to realize they're the bus family is not there
• 13:30
  anymore. And LeBron James was pissed off
• 13:32
  at the bus family that they didn't go to him when they
• 13:35
  decided to sell the team for $10 billion.
• 13:38
  That pissed LeBron off. Everything pisses LeBron James
• 13:41
  off and now he's on his stupid podcast with Steve Nash yapping
• 13:45
  away about certain rules and certain referees and certain
• 13:49
  players in the game and, and by the way, wow, Anthony Edwards,
• 13:53
  his best friend is LeBron. So everybody's got to jump for
• 13:56
  joy. 2 bitches in one friggin room.
• 13:59
  So that's all I'm going to say. I can't say anything more than
• 14:02
  that. LeBron James is a crybaby.
• 14:04
  He's been a crybaby really for the last 10 years and he hasn't
• 14:08
  won anything but the bubble year.
• 14:11
  And the only reason why they won was it was the bubble year.
• 14:14
  It was a short season and LeBron James had his time off, as we
• 14:19
  all know, and he didn't have to play in front of fans.
• 14:21
  All he had to do was play in front of fake cardboard boxes.
• 14:24
  That's what he played in front of.
• 14:26
  And Anthony Davis had his healthiest year either because
• 14:29
  it was a shortened season, too, and ended up winning NBA Finals
• 14:31
  MVP. And it was dominant in that
• 14:33
  sense, too. And that's something that I
• 14:35
  think that you would expect more with Luka Doncic now that he's
• 14:38
  gotten the condition. He going, as much as you like to
• 14:40
  play. Oh, it's a big improvement over
• 14:41
  the years. I don't think there was ever as
• 14:43
  drastic as it was like what a Nico Harrison was like to accuse
• 14:46
  Luka Doncic of. But Luka Doncic has put in the
• 14:48
  work now. He understands that.
• 14:50
  Yeah, if he wants to be the face of the team, maybe the face of
• 14:52
  the league like you're saying, like he's going to have to take.
• 14:55
  Say who's to say Luca wants to stay a Laker?
• 14:59
  He signed a three-year deal. That's what the deal was saying
• 15:01
  too, because. If I was Luca and I'm looking at
• 15:04
  the Lakers right now, there's no high praise of the Laker
• 15:07
  organization anymore. The Bus Family's not there
• 15:10
  anymore. Why would anybody want to go and
• 15:12
  play for the Showtime Lakers? They're not the Showtime Lakers
• 15:16
  anymore. They're not run by the Bus
• 15:18
  Family. Why would anybody want to go
• 15:20
  there? This is a league right now.
• 15:23
  I remember when we watched the OKC Thunder and everybody was
• 15:26
  talking about Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant and James
• 15:28
  Harden. Why would they want to sign back
• 15:30
  over there? There's no, there's nothing
• 15:32
  there. There's no, there's no
• 15:34
  endorsements, there's no sponsorships.
• 15:36
  There's nothing there now. The league is different.
• 15:39
  It doesn't matter where you play.
• 15:40
  You can play in Charlotte, you can play OKC, You're going to
• 15:43
  get the endorsements, you're going to get all the money if
• 15:46
  you're a superstar player. So it doesn't matter where you
• 15:48
  play. It's all about money now.
• 15:51
  It's all a business. That's the facts.
• 15:55
  If we watch the game right now and we can argue about football
• 15:57
  right now, does anybody in the NFL besides guys like Micah
• 16:03
  Parsons, okay, that have come out and said pay me?
• 16:07
  Are there other guys out there like Patrick Mahomes or even Tom
• 16:10
  Brady over the years taking less money?
• 16:12
  No, because it's not about winning anymore.
• 16:16
  It's about Mucho De Niro. It's about money in their
• 16:19
  pockets. What, you know, businesses they
• 16:22
  could buy after the fact or, you know, they're going to be team
• 16:25
  owners like Alex Rodriguez. That's what it's going to now.
• 16:28
  LeBron James. You don't think LeBron James is
• 16:30
  going to try to buy a team when he retires from the game?
• 16:33
  He is. He's got all the money in the
• 16:35
  world. He's already, they're like
• 16:38
  trying to do an international like basketball league, like 8
• 16:41
  billion bucks or something like that.
• 16:43
  And he's got the money behind him.
• 16:44
  Why? Because he's got other
• 16:46
  billionaires like P Diddy, as we all know.
• 16:49
  I hang it out, you know, hang it out there, you know.
• 16:52
  And by the way, there are a lot of stories.
• 16:54
  And I know a lot of people don't want me to talk about that, that
• 16:57
  whole specific story. But the fact here is there are
• 17:01
  many billionaires now. It's not logically.
• 17:05
  There's a ton of billionaires. Over the years we've seen
• 17:08
  billionaire after billionaire or people become a billion.
• 17:11
  Rihanna became a billionaire. Recently we've seen Tiger Woods
• 17:15
  is a billionaire, LeBron James is a billionaire, Michael
• 17:18
  Jordan's a billionaire, Oprah Winfrey is a billionaire.
• 17:20
  Those are just a few. And now there's a ton of
• 17:23
  billionaires. So it's not like it's it's
• 17:27
  impossible to become a billionaire and become a team
• 17:29
  owner. Maybe for me and Java, it's
• 17:31
  impossible, but for guys like that or girls like that, when
• 17:35
  you have shoe lines and makeup lines and fashion lines, you're
• 17:40
  going to bring in that kind of mucho De Niro.
• 17:43
  LeBron James has his own production company, so brawny
• 17:47
  productions. So I I just, I to me, it sickens
• 17:51
  me and and I don't know why anybody thinks that LeBron James
• 17:54
  or feels thinks that LeBron James has any thought in his
• 17:58
  mind to walk away from the game. And by the way, I don't know why
• 18:02
  anybody is crying for LeBron James.
• 18:04
  This man is still one of the powerhouses for the NBA, one of
• 18:09
  the faces of professional sports and really internationally, A
• 18:14
  superstar everywhere he goes. He's as big as Lionel Messi,
• 18:19
  yes, or any of those soccer players or European football
• 18:24
  players. In Europe, everybody knows who
• 18:26
  LeBron James is. Everybody.
• 18:29
  So I don't know why anybody's crying for LeBron James, and
• 18:32
  that's why Luca is not going to cry for him, and he shouldn't.
• 18:35
  Luca. Luca doesn't really say much of
• 18:37
  anything. The only thing I could say that
• 18:39
  Luca has come out and say is that he's happy to be a Laker
• 18:43
  for the next three years. Yeah, he has.
• 18:45
  He has personality Nico Harrison I.
• 18:47
  Don't know if he has personality.
• 18:49
  He's more personality than Nico Harrison claimed to be, where
• 18:52
  he's not the most popular player and oh, I underestimated how how
• 18:57
  how his branding was. Meanwhile, he's going to,
• 18:59
  especially with the Lakers now, still accelerate that probably
• 19:02
  prepared to it, but again, even less so than you would have
• 19:04
  thought the Lakers reputation has.
• 19:05
  And that's the pressure that this ownership now has to re
• 19:08
  establish themselves. Obviously not.
• 19:10
  I'm not saying like they're badly run like all the time, but
• 19:13
  like establish themselves to what they were when they were
• 19:15
  considered like the model franchise in the NBA because
• 19:18
  like you said, they're not holding anyone.
• 19:20
  They're not keeping anyone. They're not signing these flashy
• 19:22
  names besides LeBron for longer deals anymore to the way they
• 19:26
  used to and now Luca is probably that next step in taking it.
• 19:29
  And Luca had influence on the free agents they brought in this
• 19:31
  year, not LeBron the same. And why does anybody think that
• 19:34
  he is going to go to Cavs? I don't think he goes back to
• 19:37
  the Cavs and I don't think he goes to the Mavs either.
• 19:40
  Why would he go to the map? He's not going to the map.
• 19:44
  How are they going to afford him?
• 19:45
  I know it's financially impossible for this year Next.
• 19:48
  Year, the only reason why anybody would think that he
• 19:50
  wants to go there because he has a connection with Cooper flag,
• 19:53
  Kyrie Irving's there and so is Anthony Davis, right?
• 19:56
  Which is why it would be funny. How are they going to fit that
• 19:58
  $52 million? Contract, They're not going to
• 20:00
  fit it this year. It'd be a matter of either like
• 20:02
  a trade deadline manipulation where maybe somebody could do
• 20:04
  Penico Harrison into something, or it would be a next year where
• 20:07
  LeBron takes less to play with Kyrie Irving.
• 20:09
  That would really be it, But it would be funny.
• 20:10
  LeBron James is not going to be a Laker.
• 20:13
  He's just not. There's no way in hell he's a
• 20:15
  Laker by the trade deadline. And again, Laker, the Lakers
• 20:19
  organization, is not the same. This is not the same Laker
• 20:22
  organization. Only LeBron James knows where he
• 20:24
  believes he's going to be at the trade deadline.
• 20:27
  As a matter of fact, if LeBron James believes he's going to be
• 20:29
  a math, he'll be a math only. If with the NBA, it's pretty
• 20:33
  simple. He can sit back and say, I want
• 20:35
  to go here. If you don't trade me here, I'm
• 20:36
  not playing. I'm not playing.
• 20:38
  Find me, I'm not playing. We've seen how many, how many
• 20:41
  players have done that over the years in the NBA.
• 20:44
  Carmelo Anthony forced his way out of Denver, did he not?
• 20:47
  He forced his way to New York. He, the Brooklyn Nets gave the
• 20:50
  biggest offer. Remember that the Nets gave the
• 20:53
  biggest offer and that that con the Knicks into making that
• 20:56
  trade where they traded 6 guys and a pick and and and pick swap
• 21:02
  to land a guy like Carmelo Anthony.
• 21:04
  They gave away their whole roster for Carmelo Anthony.
• 21:07
  He never wanted to be a net, but that was his way or that was the
• 21:11
  the way. Obviously the Denver Nuggets
• 21:13
  were going to get what they want.
• 21:15
  Did the Denver Nuggets really get what they want?
• 21:16
  No, they didn't get what they want.
• 21:18
  It was just the best, the best package the Knicks could give
• 21:22
  them. So it's all these players have
• 21:25
  asked for their way out. How about this?
• 21:27
  Remember Chris Paul? Remember that Lakers deal, how
• 21:30
  it went dry, how how quick it went dry?
• 21:33
  When David Stern, they rest in peace.
• 21:35
  David Stern was there and it was practically sealed and delivered
• 21:40
  that Chris Paul was going to the Lakers and David Stern stepped
• 21:44
  right in and blocked it. Remember that?
• 21:47
  Remember when that happened? Could you imagine Chris Paul and
• 21:52
  Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol playing on one team?
• 21:56
  Could you imagine that threesome?
• 21:58
  They win multiple championships, probably more than Kobe and Pau
• 22:03
  Gasol. 1 which was 2 I think, if I'm not mistaken right.
• 22:06
  I think it was 2 with Ron Artest or Metta World Peace and Lamar
• 22:11
  Odom. So I remember that roster and
• 22:14
  Andrew Bynum, remember that we brought that up many, many
• 22:16
  times. Fish, remember that one.
• 22:18
  So I I think obviously the Lakers and the organization has
• 22:24
  to make either a drastic move and say, you know what, LeBron,
• 22:27
  we don't want you on this roster before the season starts.
• 22:30
  Where do you want to go? Or you play a significant
• 22:34
  portion of these games so we can get as much as we possibly can
• 22:37
  for you and move you where you want to go.
• 22:40
  And that's the problem with like these players having power like
• 22:42
  we talked about. So like a lot of those trades
• 22:44
  that are considered like these force out trades, fleece type
• 22:46
  trades that happened with the LeBron James era type of
• 22:49
  superstars. And we've talked about with
• 22:51
  Kevin Durant, we've talked about it with Kyrie Irving.
• 22:53
  A lot of those types of guys are the ones that are manipulating
• 22:55
  it to let to a lesser extent, like maybe Joel Embiid is
• 22:59
  probably the youngest one that's saying otherwise and complaining
• 23:01
  about everything. But it's mostly that generation
• 23:03
  that's doing it. And this is going to be the next
• 23:05
  chapter of it too, because LeBron, Oh, Luka Dodgek's here.
• 23:08
  You would think he'd be excited. No, it's a complete opposite of
• 23:11
  what we thought six months ago when we thought he was.
• 23:13
  Oh, he's manipulating the league again.
• 23:14
  The LJA getting what they want, rewarding The Mavericks of the.
• 23:17
  Picks The Lakers should sign Jabba Chamberlain.
• 23:20
  Could you imagine Jabba taking on?
• 23:21
  I mean, he's 63. He's got some size.
• 23:23
  All we got to do is stick his big body at the hoop and he can
• 23:26
  get a couple layups. Hey Jabba, could you dunk a?
• 23:28
  Ball I can shoot. You could shoot, really.
• 23:30
  We got to play some ball. I'll play some horse.
• 23:33
  I can't, I can't shoot like my son.
• 23:34
  It got embarrassing when when I started then he I was like, Nah,
• 23:38
  I'm good man, your son. 'S good at basketball.
• 23:40
  Oh yeah, it was. He was really good.
• 23:42
  Like, it'll come up with moments on my phone and I kind of miss
• 23:45
  watching him play basketball. It was fun.
• 23:47
  But yeah, he dunked just standing there two footed.
• 23:50
  Yeah. Really.
• 23:51
  He dunked. Really.
• 23:52
  Yeah, he's. He's got some OPS.
• 23:54
  He's. Yeah, he's pretty good athlete,
• 23:56
  pretty good athlete. They just won.
• 23:57
  They just won the NBC World Series, so shout out to my son.
• 24:00
  Congratulations to Carter. Carter Chamberlain.
• 24:02
  Yeah, they they beat him 21 to five.
• 24:04
  Wow, Wow. Yeah, yeah, it was, it was a
• 24:08
  butt whooping. So, but it's so I'm going to go
• 24:10
  back to what you said and kind of what Speedy said too.
• 24:13
  So you're saying he's going to play more early to show and that
• 24:16
  is, is that your reason why you think that he'll go at the
• 24:19
  deadline and not be a Laker? Just to be like, I'm still
• 24:22
  vested in it. All right, Jabba, if you watch
• 24:26
  LeBron James this season, he plays more than seven or eight
• 24:31
  games last year in the first half of the season.
• 24:34
  You know what the Lakers are planning to do and what LeBron
• 24:37
  James is going to plan to do at the trade deadline.
• 24:41
  There's no way. There's no way LeBron James
• 24:43
  plays less games this year knowing that teams or even GM
• 24:48
  think that he's at the tail end of his career and he can't do it
• 24:51
  anymore. He wants to prove a point, and
• 24:54
  if he proves a point, the Lakers know they can get something
• 24:57
  significant back for him. So if they could get another
• 25:02
  young superstar player to come and play with LeBron, I mean
• 25:05
  with Luka Doncic in the future, and give Luka more options in
• 25:10
  the offseason to try to draw maybe a Yokich or of that
• 25:14
  magnitude to want to come and play.
• 25:15
  Could you imagine Yokich and Luka playing with the Lakers?
• 25:18
  I don't know how long Yokich is going to want to play in Denver.
• 25:21
  I mean, what does Denver have? They have Murray.
• 25:23
  Jamal Murray could be on his way out.
• 25:25
  They just traded about Michael Porter.
• 25:27
  He goes to the, he goes to the Nets.
• 25:29
  I mean, what do they have over there?
• 25:31
  What do they have? But I think I think Joker will
• 25:34
  stay there too because he doesn't like all that hoopla.
• 25:36
  I think that's it's a good fit for him just because he doesn't
• 25:40
  have to deal with all the BS and and all the reporters and
• 25:44
  whatever. Because you imagine you rub that
• 25:45
  big dude the wrong way, you might have a knock on your door
• 25:48
  from one of his brothers. And I'm, I'm, I'm gonna go ahead
• 25:50
  and stay away from. That I don't have enough horses
• 25:52
  in LA. Well.
• 25:54
  If yeah for sure. If if you, I don't know if
• 25:56
  anybody watches, you know, certain backroom stuff with the
• 25:59
  All Star game, him and Luke are very very close.
• 26:02
  Oh yeah, they're, they're joking.
• 26:03
  Like they're like jokes. Stuff like if they hit each
• 26:06
  other, those are great. They're they're very close with
• 26:09
  one another connection, obviously international players.
• 26:13
  And Luca over the years has always said that Yokich has
• 26:17
  always been a helpful person to go to offseason to train with
• 26:23
  and work out with. And Yokich is a guy that says if
• 26:27
  there's anybody that I can consider as good as I am in this
• 26:30
  league, he's he's put high praise to Luka Doncic.
• 26:34
  So these guys love each other. They're international players.
• 26:37
  They're probably two of the best, if not, you can argue the
• 26:40
  Greek Freak, Mr. Giannis is right there with them.
• 26:44
  Those are arguably the three best players in the league.
• 26:46
  And there and then I'm sorry, there's another foreign player
• 26:49
  that just wanted an MVP in Shy Alexander.
• 26:52
  So he's another one for The four best players right now in the
• 26:56
  NBA are international players. That's crazy.
• 26:59
  You did mention Joel and Beads, but you'll be you'll be thankful
• 27:03
  for this. He's not wearing Nikes.
• 27:04
  I just saw him endorse Skechers so good for him.
• 27:06
  You don't have to worry about an Achilles with Joel and Beads.
• 27:08
  First of. All you have to worry about
• 27:09
  every injury. How the hell did they how the
• 27:12
  hell did they find Skechers that could fit that big ass foot?
• 27:15
  I mean, seriously, how he's. Got to wear like a 17 or 18.
• 27:18
  Dude, his foot's bigger than that.
• 27:20
  I, I if I'm not mistaken, his foot's right under Shaquille.
• 27:23
  I think he would. If I'm not mistaken, I heard
• 27:26
  that he wore a 20 or 2021 1/2 or something like that.
• 27:29
  Look that up. I I'm pretty sure Joel Embiid
• 27:32
  and and Shaquille O'Neal a couple of.
• 27:35
  Years ago it says 17. It says 17 They put their shoes
• 27:39
  together and they were very they weren't far, far off from one
• 27:43
  another. When Remember when Shaquille
• 27:45
  O'Neal had that beer in that, that that sneaker?
• 27:47
  He was drinking out of a sneaker.
• 27:48
  Didn't they say you could fit a gallon a milk in shack?
• 27:53
  So I it's a funny story. Me and Speedy went to an
• 27:56
  autograph signing over there at in Nassau County and somebody
• 28:01
  was showing off Shaquille O'neal's game worn sneaker.
• 28:04
  Remember that? Speedy signed and I told Speedy
• 28:08
  to put it closer to his chest. Dude, Jabba, it was from his
• 28:12
  neck down to the bottom of his torso is practically the size of
• 28:15
  his torso. I'm not lying to you.
• 28:18
  That's how big Shaquille O'neal's foot was.
• 28:20
  I mean, it's it's kind of weird looking at how how big this man
• 28:25
  is and how does he find a golf shoe that fits him on a golf
• 28:29
  course. He goes to that.
• 28:30
  He goes to that place in Atlanta that he that guy specializes
• 28:34
  like in all those, all those big, like shoe sizes or
• 28:37
  whatever. Yeah.
• 28:38
  Yeah. The biggest one I've ever seen,
• 28:40
  too. And I've seen pictures of Shaq.
• 28:41
  I've never seen one in person. But for our wrestling fans, Paul
• 28:45
  Wright, Big Show. Yeah, I got to know him because
• 28:49
  the WWE did a lot of stuff for the Yankees.
• 28:51
  You got to resemble him right now with that beard.
• 28:53
  Yeah, and so I got to know him pretty well and I had a
• 28:57
  foundation event and he sent me, he sent me a pair of his boots.
• 29:02
  Dude, you could have used these as a deadly weapon.
• 29:04
  These things were crazy. And it's, and they weren't just
• 29:09
  like a red. It was, I mean, it was
• 29:11
  monstrous. It like when I got it, I, I knew
• 29:14
  he was going to send something, but I didn't know what it was.
• 29:18
  And so he was like, yeah, I'll send you something.
• 29:20
  Here's my manager, like give me the address, blah, blah, blah.
• 29:23
  So I was like, all right, cool. Thank you so much.
• 29:24
  I thought it was gonna be like AT shirt or something, just
• 29:27
  something that he signed whatever.
• 29:28
  Cuz they usually just sign it and then whoever asks they just
• 29:31
  they ship it all up. What size shoe do you wear?
• 29:33
  Jabba. 13. All right, I wear 11 and a half.
• 29:37
  12 so. And you're 6 foot three.
• 29:39
  I got big feet. I have like clown feet.
• 29:42
  I have the smallest hands. My uncle calls me Little Hands.
• 29:44
  He says that if I was an Indian, he would say that my nickname
• 29:48
  would be Little Hands. That's what he would.
• 29:50
  Call hold on dot or feather. I don't, dude.
• 29:53
  My hands are small, all right? I have I.
• 29:55
  Mean I'm the only one that can say that.
• 29:57
  As long as I can, you know, my, I can tell you this.
• 30:01
  I got some junk in the trunk anyways, so you know what I
• 30:03
  mean. I've got more than enough to
• 30:06
  grab, if you know what I mean. Speedy, how about you?
• 30:09
  You have more than enough grab. Or how about a Bush?
• 30:11
  Speedy speedy What size? What size foot you feature in?
• 30:15
  I'm in nine and a half. I just got small feet.
• 30:17
  Speedy got small feet. He's really small, you know.
• 30:20
  How about you scoops? What shoe do you wear?
• 30:22
  I mean, seriously. There's a certain.
• 30:24
  As well 1313 I have flat. Feet though I have that flat
• 30:27
  foot syndrome thingy. I guess you could say we're
• 30:29
  like, I don't have an Archer to my foot.
• 30:31
  I have a half a flat foot. That's what my doctor just told
• 30:34
  me when I went to a foot. Doctor, how do you get half a
• 30:36
  half a well? My mom has the same thing, it's
• 30:37
  like one of her foot is flat and one of her has like a.
• 30:39
  Bit of oh, it's like a half a flat foot, that's what they.
• 30:42
  It's probably, yeah, good point, fish.
• 30:44
  It's probably because you're on the toilet enough that your feet
• 30:46
  just kind of just settled. Wow.
• 30:48
  My feet are ingrained into the bowl.
• 30:50
  Definitely ingrained into the ball.
• 30:52
  There's no do you? Use Do you use a Squatty Potty?
• 30:55
  Me. No, but I like.
• 30:56
  Bro. Change.
• 30:58
  It'll change the game. Yeah, I was about to say,
• 31:00
  apparently. I'm supposed to be Squatty Potty
• 31:02
  A. Squatty Potty brought to you by
• 31:03
  Just White You're. Supposed to sit at an angle
• 31:05
  whenever you take a deuce, so. I do that anyways.
• 31:08
  I have one cheek when I by the way, everybody asks me how do
• 31:11
  you wipe your ass? OK.
• 31:12
  And they like, do you put your hand between your legs or do you
• 31:16
  go behind? Wait, wait, what were you
• 31:18
  talking about with one cheek? How do you?
• 31:20
  What are you saying? Maybe with that one, no.
• 31:23
  So I keep 1 cheek on the ball when I'm taking a dump.
• 31:26
  I do that. I I like I have one leg like
• 31:29
  lift up like this. So I ghost riding the bowl.
• 31:32
  Yes, I ghost ride the ball. You know it's it's supposed to
• 31:36
  be. Comfortable, it's supposed.
• 31:37
  To be so, listen. I have like you're like this.
• 31:41
  I skeeve. OK, I skeeve my God public
• 31:44
  bathroom. So what do I do?
• 31:46
  So I clean one side of the I make sure that at least one side
• 31:50
  of the bowl is clean. So I've trained myself, even if
• 31:53
  I go to a public bathroom that I can kind of elevate.
• 31:57
  My you can public deuce. Yes, what you.
• 32:00
  Can you can public deuce? Sometimes if I really have to
• 32:04
  go, if I really have to lay one out, you.
• 32:06
  Got to have a clean bathroom. And dude, I am the cleanest
• 32:10
  person. Speedy, who has the cleanest
• 32:12
  bathroom you've ever been in? I am, I am the most anal person
• 32:17
  you will ever meet when it comes to bathrooms.
• 32:19
  Anybody would. Do you eat fettuccine Alfredo
• 32:21
  off of the floors of your bathroom?
• 32:23
  Never. Oh I I could, but I would never
• 32:26
  clean. It's that clean.
• 32:27
  Yes, OK, exactly. I have I have my own little
• 32:30
  vacuum that I vacuum up everything for the bathroom,
• 32:34
  just for the bathroom. I only use it for the bathroom.
• 32:37
  That's how crazy I am when it comes to bathrooms.
• 32:40
  So yeah. And when I and that's how I
• 32:42
  people probably think I'm a little crazy and they say how
• 32:45
  the hell do you, you know, keep 1 cheek on a ball?
• 32:48
  Well, I, I can't explain it. You would have to see me do it,
• 32:51
  but. I mean, I'm going to take your
• 32:53
  word for it at this point. You can tell Jake all about this
• 32:57
  conversation tomorrow on ESPN New York, by the way.
• 33:04
  Just got here, Errol. Oh, there you go.
• 33:06
  By the way, ladies and gentlemen, Jabo will be featured
• 33:10
  on ESPN New York tomorrow on the Drive Home Show, so you get a
• 33:15
  chance. To hit the job at 1:30. 1:30
• 33:18
  Well, it's not the drive home show, it's 1:30.
• 33:21
  It's like the midday, the middle midday show.
• 33:23
  So well, he'll be working or beyond.
• 33:27
  He'll be on one of my guys, Jake Asmin on his show, filling in
• 33:31
  and giving his take on the garbage Yankees.
• 33:33
  As we were just speaking about him.
• 33:35
  Speaking of interesting stories, we have our golf clap.
• 33:40
  This deserves a golf clap. No doubt.
• 33:44
  Golf clap. Golf clap.
• 33:47
  Ladies and gentlemen, our golf clap of the day goes to the San
• 33:51
  Antonio Spurs as they finally land their future point guard.
• 33:57
  Or do they? San Antonio star D Aaron Fox has
• 34:01
  agreed to a four year, $229 million maximum contract
• 34:07
  extension for the franchise, Clutch Sports CEO Rich Paul told
• 34:12
  ESPN. Ladies and gentlemen, the Max
• 34:16
  deal has no player option in the final year of the Fox's future
• 34:22
  San Antonio future with San Antonio through 2029 and 30
• 34:27
  season after the trade deadline deal moved the alt of the one
• 34:32
  time All Star and one time all NBA guard the Sacramento Kings
• 34:37
  traded to the Spurs. Fox and Paul were able to
• 34:41
  navigate a trade to his for destination, which was San
• 34:46
  Antonio in February to secure a long term extension months later
• 34:53
  in a state with no income tax compared to his prior California
• 34:59
  residents. The Spurs drafted guard Dylan
• 35:01
