  Speaker 1: the Day that'll be coming up a little bit later
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: as well. So all of those things to look forward to.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Our lead though this hour we go back to the
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: speculation machine. That's right, the speculation machine. What about the
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: speculation machine, you ask? Well, after dropping an absolute turn
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: burger at the end of the Western Conference finals, lot
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: of finger pointing going on now, many publicly are saying
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: all the right things, all of the right things about
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: how we're gonna stick together and this is just a
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: little a little bump and everything's gonna be okay for
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: the thunder Okay, privately, there's a much different conversation.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: Now do you know what that is? You do not?
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: All right? Fair enough?
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: So Ched Holgren, we talked about him earlier, and you
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: know I love to flog a dead horse. So Ched
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Hongren last offseason agreed to a five year contract for
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: two hundred and forty million dollars and it hasn't even
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: kicked in yet. It kicks in this summer. So there's
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: your gift for the Thunder. You played like choking dogs
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: in the Western Finals. You blew a lead in the series,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: had two chances to win one game, couldn't do it.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: And so Hongren is going to become a forty one
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: point three million dollars big man next NBA season, forty
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: one point three million, and by the end of the contract,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: the Thunder will be paying him fifty four and a
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: half million. So that's what's on the horizon for the
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Thunder after they were decommissioned from the playoffs by San Antonio.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: So this has led to obvious chatter that Oklahoma City
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: should consider getting rid of that burden. And if Homegren
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: cannot slow down Victor Wembanyama, then they should send him
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: into the portal and send him elsewhere.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: Now some have said, well, because.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Of the cap, you can't get rid of him, and
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: to that I say, fully, we know that if there's
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: a will, there's a way. You can always manipulate the system.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: If you really want to get rid of chet Hogren,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: you can get rid of chet Hongren. So that is
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: a good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: do the Thunder? The bigger issue is do the Thunder?
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Do the Oklahoma City Thunder have a chet home Gren problem?
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: So I've got Best Buy, Daily Double and Harry Styles,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together, and
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: we're going to try not to rock the boat unless
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: we are going to rock the boat, because why wouldn't
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: we want to rock the boat? So, first of all,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: to answer the question, do the Thunder have a chet
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Homegroun problem? I am nodding my head yes. On the
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: beginning of June. You can't see, but I'm not in
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: my ears. Now this is looking like an early Tom
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Hanks movie, the chet Holmegren Contract. If he is futile
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: at slowing down Victor won by Yama, then this becomes
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: an early Tom Hanks movie. The Money Pit this contract, like,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: what are you doing now? It wasn't just a bad night.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: And we pointed this out earlier.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: But for those of you that.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Were not listening, bad job by you, or you were
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: hungover and you're just kind of sobering up. We pointed
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: out that this was not just one bad night in
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: game seven. This was back to back in belly to
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: belly el Stinko in game six and in Game seven.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: The kind of a series, the kind of an ending
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: that sticks with you, that becomes a poltergeist and haunts
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: you and the Yabbitt crowd.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah but yeah, butit yabbit, the Yabbot rabbit.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: They'll say, well, he did win a championship the year before,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: and while that is true, this is the memory now
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: of Chet Holmgren, Big game, Chet Holmgren, how he did
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: or did not do in this particular series, and it
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: does stick with that. Remember, years ago, there was a
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: guy named Nick Anderson for the Orlando Magic who missed
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: a couple of foul shots in a game I believe
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: against the Jordan Bulls, and that stuck with him the
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: rest of his career.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: He couldn't get that stank off him. That's what he
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: was known for and it happened.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's an old reference, but there's a bunch
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: of other players that have had similar incidents happen. And
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: when the legend becomes the fact, you go with the legend.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: And that's how that works. And so you got a
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: couple of things. It's the kind of stink you can't
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: scrub off.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: Right now. For Chet Holmgren, you've.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Got the micro and you have the macro, and it
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: stinks in the present because Wemby is going to be
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: around for the next five, ten, fifteen years. He's twenty
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: two years old. The way he's built, assuming his body
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: holds up, he can play till his late thirties.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: And Homegren made history.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: He became the first player you see this, Chet Holmgren,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: the first player in Playoff history to attempt two or
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: fewer shots while playing over thirty minutes in a game seven.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: This had never happened before.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: This is an all NBA guy who might as well
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: have bought a ticket or at least put on a
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: uniform like the ball boy that was at the game.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: My god, never happened before that final game. The final
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: game here was like the thunder went down to Best
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Buy and they purchased a three D printer at Best
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Buy and they said, you know what we can, Why
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: don't we make a taller version of like the doppelganger
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: of Ben Simmons. The Aussie muffed it will make a
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Ben Simmons doppel game. That seems like a good idea. Sure,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: why not? That's exactly what this guy played like. He
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: played scared. Chet Holmgren was skittish and not skittles.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: I said.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: Skittish is what he was. At my evidence here, Chet
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: did not attempt a single shot during the final thirty
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: one minutes of the game. Thirty one minutes of the game,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: he did not the final thirty one he did not
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: take a shot. How does that happen? Did anyone say, hey,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: you might want to shoot the ball? Did anyone say that?
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: Did Dagna now or any of those guys say we chat,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: we need a little more out of you, buddy, No?
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: Nothing, all right.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Meanwhile, the second part of this page two, let's get
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: to the meat and potatoes. We are set up today Monday, obviously,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: gonna get through the rest of today and Tuesday, and
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: then on Wednesday night it is on like don't get
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: call as we will have game number one of the
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: NBA that matchup. So the question for the class you
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: can answer this. I'll go first, give me your level
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: of excitement. What is your level of excitement for the
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Suns and the Knickerbockers in the twenty twenty six NBA Finals.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Your level of excitement so on the Mallards Scale of
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: anticipation and joy, the MA of anticipation, enjoy one to ten,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: wonder ten and I am at A survey says.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: I'm at a nine.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: I'm Benny Brightside. I am Benny bright Side in this
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: NBA Finals, and I rarely am. Let me tell you why. Okay,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: it is the ultimate daily double, daily double. It's the
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: ultimate daily double. You've got the biggest city and the
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: biggest star Mono Amano going out of here, New York,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: the largest metropolitan area in the United States, and Wemby
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: the most gigantic extraterrestrial I've ever seen from Parie.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: And that's the matchup. So the man who.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: Plays basketball like he's casually reaching for a box on
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: the very top of the shelf there. Heck, forget that
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: he's trying to remove the light bulb on the ceiling.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: The way he just casually kind of wanders around Wimby
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: and so there we are. San Antonio is market number
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: thirty seven, and they give us the classic old school
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: similar to what we got with the Pacers and the
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Knicks when they've played in the NBA playoffs, where they
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: say it's the Hicks versus the Knicks and that whole thing,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: those kind of vibes. In this case, it would be
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: what tex Mex versus Pastrami. That doesn't really rhyme though,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: tex Mex and Pastrami. That's the matchup food wise. One
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: team they like to claim they're built for the great
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: hard to say the Knicks are built for the grind
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: when they still have Karl Anthony Towns on. I digress though,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: So you've got the Knicks who made a lot of trades.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Most of the core of the team were not drafted
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: by the Knicks. They finally realized they don't know how
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: to draft people, so might as well trade the picks,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: and they did good job by them. So they most
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: of the roster was built via trades and the other
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: was built on the back of tanking. San Antonio tanking
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: for multiple years. We don't like that they up with
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: the seven foot five something Eiffel Tower with a jump shot.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: So that's what they've got.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: In New York brings the skyscraper and a bunch of
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: skyscrapers from Manhattan. San Antonio brings the skyscraper with arms
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: that would be Wimby. And if you look at the
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: history here, that's a big part of it, obviously.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: The history here. The Knicks have been to the finals.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: A few times, but not in a long time, twenty
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: seven years, nineteen ninety nine. I was barely alive in
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: nineteen ninety nine, and then Alan Houston and Patrick Ewing
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: and the trell Spree, well those were the guys that
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: were on the Knicks in ninety nine that lost to
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: San Antonio. And they haven't won a title since nineteen
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: seventy three, which is seemingly mathematically impossible. Here we are,
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: all right, here, we are, so san Antonio trying to
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: be the you know what, the skunk at the garden
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: party here. So the Knicks haven one since Walt Clyde Fraser,
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: the Walt Clyde Fraser game in nineteen seventy three. And
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: that is not a championship drought. That is an archaeological
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: dig at this particular point to try to find the
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: last time, the next one. When the nixt last one,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: the rings they gave out were like out of a
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: cracker cracker box, you know, it's like those the crackerjack boxes.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: It was like one of those rings.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Now meanwhile, the San Antonio Spurs here, they're back. They've
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: been on this stage in a decade plus, twelve years.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: You gotta go way back to twenty fourteen, back when
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: Tim Duncan was still moving around like a grandfather clock
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: doing his thing. So that's the matchup. This could be
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: Jalen Brunson's defining moment as a knickerbocker. And the Knicks
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: are not built for the long term, They're built for
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: the short term. So this is I mean opportunities they're
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: gonna get, or this is the official beginning of the
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: ring hoarding era.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: For victor won by Yama.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: So either the Knicks win and it's all about Jalen
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Brunson and he did it and killing all the ghosts
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: of years gone by, all the critters that were haunting
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: the Knickerbockers or its wemby all right, final thought to
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: the business of football we go, That's right, the business
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: of football. Now we learned over the weekend that Shadur
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: Sanders is truly the money making machine. Not good at football,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: really good at making money from selling stuff that will
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: end up in a landfill.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: Now, what is my evidence.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: My evidence is the story came out according to the
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: business journals. They reported I think Front Office Sports had
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: the story that they did the math on this. Shaudur
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Sanders earned as a rookie seventeen point seven million in
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: what they call group licensing, and that is the record
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: now by comparison the prior year, JJ McCarthy led all
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: players with four million the prior season, and now sha
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: Dur Sanders has set a new record the NFLPA collectively.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: He licensed this all the crap with the players like this,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: the name, image, et cetera, just like in college products
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: like the Madden Game for example, trading cards, jerseys, apparel,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: all of that. And so they slice up the money
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: pie when they're done at the end of the year.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: And they did the math on this, and the revenue
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: from those deals is distributed to participating players and Sanders
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: getting a massive bonanza here, massive bonanza for his share,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: a record haul for Shadur Sanders. So the question what
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: is the lesson, Give me the lesson from Shadur Sanders
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: making seventeen point seven million as a merch seller just
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: in merch sales, seventeen point seven so dion coach prime
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: di Deon Sanders. It turns out did not just give
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: his son the last name. He gave him a distribution network.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: It turns out that being the spawn of prime Time,
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: that the dad raised a media property. And that is
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: what Shadur Sanders is so good for him cashing in
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: royalty checks on the family brand that was built over
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: forty years in the spotlight. And Shadur not that he
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: did anything of note, but he got all that money, money, money, money,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: won the genetic lottery, the son of Neon and so
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: seventeen point seven million licensing cha ching, chaching. That is
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: an explosion. And what it does is it proves loudly
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: and mathematically that the cultural relevance, if you want to
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: use that phrase, the cultural relevance monetizes much faster and
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: much much deeper, much deeper, and more reliable than winning
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: and success on the field. Ever, will the NFLPA releasing
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: this fashion industry case study, if you will shoulder now
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: just for example, on how crazy. This is how bonkers
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: this is. The Cleveland Browns paid Shuder Sanders in salary
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: one point two million to play quarterback. Not well for
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns. He made, if my math is correct,
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: over one three hundred and seventy five percent more doing
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: a pirouette on the catwalk, the NFL's merchandise catwalk. And
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: he's bipolar, I would say, Shadearth Sanders meaning that he
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: stinks against NFL defenses not good. And he's also an
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: all pro at content creation and more importantly, monetizing content
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: that that ecosystem and a rookie season that included a
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: a losing record, B he had more interceptions and touchdowns
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: and yet still out earned seemingly entire NFL in merch
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: It certainly seemed that way based on the numbers that
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: they're passing around, And the scoreboard was not helpful. The
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: scoreboard didn't pay him, it did not.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: The spotlight did.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: And Shaduur as a quarterback and we can only judge
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: him based on what we've seen so far.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: Who knows what the future holds.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: But based on today's conversation about Shadur Sanders, it's kind
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: of like in the music world. Chadur is a quarterback
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: the same way that Harry Styles is a musician. You
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: feel me on that the job is real. The job
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: is real, However, the brand is bigger. Like I know
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: people in music have ripped Harry Styles over the years,
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: not really a good musician, but Shoulder Sander's not really
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: good quarterback, although making a lot of money, making a
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: just a ton of money. It reminds me years and
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: years ago we talked to about dani Ka Patrick, who was.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: A terrible race car driver, just horrific buggety, bugging and
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: bugging and buggey.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: But she had a good story and people liked the story,
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: so she got a lot of commercials. Danica Patrick, and
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: she taught us. I learned that lesson that winning is optional.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: It's a decade plus ago that winning is optional and
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: it doesn't matter to your brand and all that stuff.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: And should her is just the next chapter in that story.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: So the market doesn't care about your record, it cares
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: about your reach and are you perceived to be cool?
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: And should her Sanders is perceived to be cool, So
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: he's really a runway star. He's a runway star who
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: occasionally will throw a slant pass every once in a
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: while throw a slam pass and that's that, and so
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: should her. He's a TikTok growth stock. As a football player,
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: not so much. And the league doesn't really sell football.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: They figure you're gonna watch football no matter what, So
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: they don't really sell football. They sell characters, and Shrader
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: Sanders is a big cartoon character as a premium character
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: in the soap opera. It is the Ben Mahler Show. Now,
