  It was an interesting vacation. Got a lot of stories to tell.
• 2:25
  I don't know. I want to, I don't want to scare
• 2:27
  anybody off about Bermuda, but beware of the Bermuda Triangle.
• 2:32
  And that's what I was in, stuck in the Bermuda Triangle.

• 3:04
  yes, there you are. And don't worry, Kevin, I will
• 3:06
  tell you guys some of the crazy stuff that happened me happened
• 3:10
  to me at Bermuda. You know, it's crazy when you go
• 3:13
  on a cruise, you, you think, hey, you know what, you're going
• 3:16
  to see a lot of different things.
• 3:17
  You're going to go to a lot of different game shows and you're
• 3:20
  going to hang out with your girl and just enjoy yourself.
• 3:23
  Well, ladies and gentlemen, I didn't do any of those because
• 3:27
  Brittany fell asleep at 11:00 at night.
• 3:30
  She couldn't keep her eyes open. And I had a chance to hang out
• 3:33
  with Brittany's hairdresser, who's become close with me,
• 3:36
  Elena and her husband John. John's an amazing guy.
• 3:40
  He really is a great, great person.
• 3:42
  And he went to sleep early, too. As soon as we ate dinner, it
• 3:45
  didn't matter if it was a steak dinner, sushi, or whatever the
• 3:48
  hell they were eating, that guy was out like a light bulb.
• 3:51
  But me, I hung out. I went out to the clubs, I
• 3:55
  danced the night away and got to meet a bunch of kids.
• 3:57
  Now let me ask you guys a question.
• 3:59
  If you ever gone to a club, could you imagine, could you
• 4:03
  imagine 1514 year olds being allowed to dance with a bunch of
• 4:08
  people drinking and partying at a club?
• 4:11
  Well, ladies and gentlemen, if you go on Norwegian the getaway,
• 4:15
  they'll allow people kids to actually go party with the grand
• 4:19
  grown-ups. It didn't matter how old they
• 4:21
  were. And then I actually met somebody
• 4:23
  that really was 24 years old, but look like he looked like a
• 4:27
  14 year old. And everybody they actually
• 4:29
  called security to tell him and security came down and looked at
• 4:33
  his ID. He was actually 24 years old.
• 4:35
  I was shocked. So that was the crazy, you know,
• 4:39
  crazy party part of my Bermuda. Tribe, could they just like,
• 4:44
  could they just come in and like dance or they could do whatever
• 4:47
  they want? Some of them were drinking wine.
• 4:49
  I mean, their parents were buying them drinks and I saw
• 4:53
  some, some of these kids actually at the bar and I, I,
• 4:57
  I'm, I don't know if they were 1415 years old, but they had to
• 5:00
  be under underage 1718 at best. And they were drinking wine.
• 5:05
  They were drinking beers. And I'm sitting there and I'm
• 5:07
  like, how do their parents actually like these kids
• 5:11
  actually going out drinking and then doing crazy things the
• 5:14
  whole night. I was up till like one or two O
• 5:17
  clock in in the morning and these kids are roaming all the
• 5:21
  different floors trying to figure out about how they can,
• 5:24
  you know, piss people off. Some of them were beating
• 5:27
  people's, you know, doors in and hitting their doors and knocking
• 5:30
  on their doors and waking people up.
• 5:32
  One of my almost choke slammed, I grabbed, I wanted to grab him
• 5:35
  by his neck, but you know, I didn't do that.
• 5:38
  So I want to say I'm abusive, but I wanted to.
• 5:41
  All right. But I'll tell you guys a quick
• 5:43
  story before we get to the show. I don't want to scare you.
• 5:45
  And I'll have a lot of stories. I'll tell you some stories on
• 5:47
  Thursday. I'll tell you some stories next
• 5:49
  week as well. We got to Bermuda OK, so I'm
• 5:53
  hanging out, I'm getting ready. Elena and her husband John, they
• 5:57
  went out for breakfast. Downstairs to the breakfast or
• 5:59
  upstairs to floor 15, eat breakfast.
• 6:02
  After that, they knocked on our door.
• 6:04
  We weren't up yet. We get up at 7:00 in the
• 6:06
  morning. They're done with breakfast and
• 6:08
  we told them to wait for us. Brittany takes forever to get
• 6:11
  ready. You know how women are.
• 6:12
  They're just absolutely impossible.
• 6:14
  But she gets ready and we we run up for breakfast.
• 6:18
  We get down for breakfast and they knock on our door again and
• 6:20
  they say, listen, we're not dealing with this.
• 6:22
  We're going to, we'll go on the island.
• 6:23
  We'll meet you on the island. All right, We're, we're getting
• 6:26
  ready. Brittany still putting on her
• 6:27
  make up. Whatever we get off the, the
• 6:31
  boat, we give our ID's, we go over there.
• 6:33
  Now obviously before you cross the border, you got to get
• 6:37
  sometimes they look through your stuff and, and, and they pick us
• 6:41
  out of 3000 people, 3000 people. Now in my book bag I had these
• 6:47
  electric THC, you know, smoking things.
• 6:51
  OK, I'm just telling you I didn't smoke either.
• 6:54
  I just knew they were in the bag.
• 6:56
  So I told Brittany I want to go back upstairs drop it.
• 6:58
  But they told me no wait a second what do you have?
• 7:00
  What do you have in your bag? Blah blah blah blah.
• 7:02
  I didn't want to lie so I told them I had these pens in my bag.
• 7:09
  All of a sudden they RIP apart my bag.
• 7:12
  They go through my bag, they find them.
• 7:14
  They say, do you have anything else?
• 7:17
  Please be honest with us or we might press charges.
• 7:19
  I said no, I don't have anything.
• 7:21
  Damn, dude. It gets worse.
• 7:24
  So they tell me. So the canine guy, one of the
• 7:26
  guys standing at the border, he tells me, listen, this is a
• 7:29
  quick thing. This is usually not a problem.
• 7:31
  All right, I'm fine. I'm calm down.
• 7:33
  Brittany's screaming on the top of her lungs, telling you how
• 7:35
  there are people bringing in through the border worse stuff
• 7:39
  than us there. There were people doing a lot
• 7:41
  worse stuff on the boat than what I had in my bag.
• 7:45
  OK. And this is a fact guys, because
• 7:47
  we've seen it. I was watching it with my bare
• 7:49
  eyes. Nevertheless they knew that, but
• 7:52
  they said we can't stop everybody.
• 7:54
  We stopped you. So they call, they call their,
• 7:58
  their hire sergeants and they come down and I'm sitting there
• 8:02
  and I'm like, OK, they're going to let us go bring you.
• 8:04
  Don't worry about it. So they say we, what we got to
• 8:08
  do is now we got to take the canine dogs up to your room and
• 8:12
  search your whole room. We want to search your whole
• 8:15
  room, make sure you're not smuggling anything.
• 8:17
  I said wait a second. You told me you were just going
• 8:20
  to take my electric cigarettes. This is going to be a quick
• 8:22
  situation and we can go. Well, Sir, you know, we don't
• 8:25
  know what you're doing. We don't know what you're here
• 8:26
  for. I I'm here to party.
• 8:28
  I'm here to go to Bermuda. I'm here to go to your goddamn
• 8:31
  beaches. So I'm sitting there.
• 8:33
  Brittany starts to scream. I'm starting to scream.
• 8:36
  They bring us up there. Could you imagine going on a
• 8:38
  boat, guys, All these people coming off of it and you have
• 8:41
  two canine dogs going on the boat with you sniffing through
• 8:46
  and getting up. So you had to go through another
• 8:48
  security area. And then you, they, they're
• 8:51
  checking your, your bags inside. You go upstairs.
• 8:53
  People are watching everything that's going on and they tell
• 8:56
  you to stand out your door while they go in and sniff and go
• 9:00
  through your whole bags, all your bags, all your stuff, every
• 9:03
  single thing. Don't find anything.
• 9:05
  And then they tell us, Oh, we got to take you down and then
• 9:07
  start, we're not going to write a summons.
• 9:09
  We're going to write a warning. We go downstairs, they take us
• 9:13
  to the room for an hour. They're writing.
• 9:15
  They asked me for my Social Security.
• 9:16
  They asked if they take pictures of my passport.
• 9:18
  And I'm like, wait a second, this is a freaking warning.
• 9:21
  And you're, you're you have me signing all this paperwork,
• 9:24
  you're confiscating everything that I have and you're telling
• 9:26
  me, listen, I'm not smuggling cocaine.
• 9:28
  I'm I'm not freaking the guy from blow.
• 9:31
  And I did say that to him. I said, I'm not sniffing
• 9:34
  cocaine. I'm not tracking in heroin.
• 9:36
  What is this? This is this is legalized in New
• 9:39
  York. I understand I made a mistake.
• 9:41
  I was honest with you. They said, listen, we're going
• 9:44
  to write up a report and we'll let you go.
• 9:46
  And I said after 2 1/2 hours, are you telling me it's only
• 9:49
  going to take about 20-30 minutes?
• 9:51
  And then embarrassing us in front of our boat, our boat
• 9:54
  mates, that for the whole rest of the trip, everybody kept
• 9:57
  coming up to me after I was in the hot man contest and every I
• 10:00
  and, and people wouldn't like, they would like just, that's all
• 10:03
  another story. I'll tell you that story
• 10:05
  tomorrow, but I mean Thursday. Nevertheless, they, it was
• 10:10
  absolutely embarrassing and for Bermuda and security and
• 10:15
  whatever they were trying to do there, maybe for once in their
• 10:19
  absolute stupid lives, they picked the right bag to go
• 10:23
  searching through because there were a lot worse drugs on that
• 10:26
  boat. A lot worse than an electric THC
• 10:30
  cigarette, which by the way, I never smoked and they could test
• 10:34
  my God damn blood. So I was embarrassed.
• 10:38
  Brittany was embarrassed. And then that was that day.
• 10:41
  So that that's the that's the first story I'll tell you.
• 10:45
  It wasn't one of the funny ones. It was one of the worst ones.
• 10:48
  I was embarrassed. It was one of the worst
• 10:49
  embarrassing positions I've ever been in in my entire life.
• 10:54
  So was it just? Like random it was.
• 10:56
  Random. They picked us out of 3000
• 10:59
  people, yeah, I'm sure. The 15 year olds in the club
• 11:01
  were just fine. Now if.
• 11:02
  We went with Elena and John at the same time.
• 11:05
  They probably don't pick us and they don't pull us over.
• 11:07
  It was because I was wearing a Yankee hat.
• 11:09
  It was because I was from New York.
• 11:11
  I really do believe that there were.
• 11:12
  And by the way, we were on a boat with a lot of Philadelphia
• 11:14
  people. A lot of Phil.
• 11:16
  I know Fish doesn't want to hear it.
• 11:18
  There was a lot of Philadelphia people on that boat.
• 11:20
  I would say 75% Philadelphia, probably 25% New York.
• 11:26
  And then they, I, I, I will say no, I'm sorry, 23% New York and
• 11:29
  the rest Indiana. I saw a couple of Indianapolis
• 11:32
  people, you know, people from Maine.
• 11:34
  It was very few people, but mainly Philadelphia, NY.
• 11:37
  So it was an interesting boat ride.
• 11:39
  Met a lot of people, lot of nice people, a lot of people.
• 11:42
  They're going to be tuning in. A lot of people that, you know,
• 11:45
  when they asked me what show I was doing and stuff like that,
• 11:48
  they, they knew who you were. Jabba, one of one of them is a
• 11:51
  huge fan of yours. I grew up a big Jabba
• 11:54
  Chamberlain fan and told me to tell you, tell Jabba I love him
• 11:58
  and I hope everything's going well for himself.
• 12:00
  So I mean, there's a lot of people, a lot of people on that
• 12:04
  one boat that had their own agenda.
• 12:07
  I wasn't the one trying to smuggle drugs into Bermuda.
• 12:12
  So I that was that was just a horrible situation for me.
• 12:16
  So that was that was the tail end of a beginning story that I
• 12:20
  could tell you throughout the show.
• 12:22
  Maybe I'll add a story here and there and a lot of funny ones.
• 12:26
  I'll give you some funny ones, but that was probably the worst
• 12:28
  It it did ruin half of my vacation.
• 12:31
  It didn't really make the day very good.
• 12:33
  I got a chance to see the pink sand.
• 12:35
  Dude, it's not pink. I don't know what they're
• 12:37
  saying. It's more like yellow and Peach
• 12:40
  than pink. Where did they come up with pink
• 12:42
  sand? OK, it wasn't pink.
• 12:45
  Just so everybody knows how's. The How's the food?
• 12:49
  I've never been on a cruise so I don't know foods.
• 12:51
  Great. I mean, they had steak dinners.
• 12:53
  We, we, we actually had three really big dinners that we had
• 12:57
  to pick from. So there's a lot, there's two
• 12:59
  places that you could get steak and there was some Italian
• 13:02
  restaurants on the boat that we we picked one of them.
• 13:05
  There were sushi, there were Chinese.
• 13:08
  And then they have the buffet, which you can have whatever the
• 13:10
  hell you want. And then they have the
• 13:11
  Manhattan, which they you get to order it.
• 13:14
  It's obviously a part of the boat ship.
• 13:17
  If you don't have a chance to, you don't have the money to go
• 13:20
  and spend it up to a steak restaurants or any of that.
• 13:22
  Everybody goes in there for their big fancy dinner.
• 13:24
  And by the way, it's probably one of the best dinners you'll
• 13:27
  have on the boat in the Manhattan.
• 13:29
  So a shout out to Donnie and Donnie was our a waiter when we
• 13:33
  went into the Manhattan. We love the guy.
• 13:35
  I, Tim, I must have tipped Brittany and me must have tipped
• 13:38
  them with John and Elena at least $200.00, at least $200 the
• 13:42
  two or three times we were there.
• 13:44
  We love the guy. The guy was such a nice guy,
• 13:45
  Philippine, really down to earth, funny as hell, and
• 13:49
  Brittany probably wanted to jump his bones because she just
• 13:52
  thought he was sweet. You know, I thought he was.
• 13:54
  I don't know what he was, but whatever.
• 13:56
  I don't want to talk about on the show.
• 13:57
  The Thunder win Game 7 versus the Pacers one one O 391 to win
• 14:03
  their very first NBA championship since relocating to
• 14:06
  OK C. Shay I was named the NBPNBAS
• 14:12
  finals MVP, averaging 30.6 points per game 5.6 assists per
• 14:17
  game 4.6 rebounds per games in in.
• 14:19
  In the series, Shay became the 10th player to win an NB AM VP
• 14:25
  and NBA Finals MVP in the same season and the first since
• 14:29
  LeBron in 2013. Shay also joined back Michael
• 14:33
  Jordan a Kareem Abdul Jabbard as the only players to win MVPS and
• 14:38
  the scoring title in the same season.
• 14:41
  The Thunder became the fourth team in NBA history to win 84
• 14:47
  total games in a season, joining the 2015 Warriors and the Bulls
• 14:53
  in back-to-back years in 95 and 96.
• 14:56
  Tyrese Hall Burton suffered an Achilles injury with five
• 15:00
  minutes remaining in the first quarter and likely will be out
• 15:04
  for the entire season next year. Albertan suffered a a calf
• 15:09
  injury during game five and then play 23 minutes on the injured
• 15:14
  calf in Game 6. With the Thunder winning the NBA
• 15:18
  title, there have now been seven different teams to win
• 15:23
  championships in seven years. First time in NBA history.
• 15:27
  Well congratulations to the OK C Thunder.
• 15:30
  I watched the game, bits and pieces of the game and
• 15:32
  throughout the series on the boat.
• 15:34
  I watched the series. It was back and forth
• 15:36
  basketball. It's you can't argue that this
• 15:38
  was a good series. 2 teams that were very evenly matched in some
• 15:42
  parts of the series, but the better team was the OK C
• 15:46
  Thunder. Now if Hal Burton stays in that
• 15:48
  game at Game 6, I think the Pacers win that series.
• 15:52
  I really do. Hal Burton was playing good
• 15:54
  basketball in the first quarter that those were one of those
• 15:57
  games that you would see Tyrese Halpern have a 3012 and 11 game
• 16:02
  and he has a triple double and has a world beating game against
• 16:06
  a guy like Shay Alexander. Well, it didn't happen.
• 16:08
  He goes down another great player that goes down with an
• 16:11
  Achilles tendon injury. We saw that against against the
• 16:14
  Knicks with, you know, Jason Tatum.
• 16:17
  Jason Tatum is going to be out next year.
• 16:19
  He got his his his surgery the day after.
• 16:21
  I expect Tyrese Halpern to have his surgery today.
• 16:24
  But two great players going down as fast as they did.
• 16:27
  You wouldn't absolutely like something like that.
• 16:30
  You would like to see OKC beat the best players, want to beat
• 16:34
  Indiana at their top and at the at their best.
• 16:37
  Well, things happen. We've seen this before.
• 16:39
  There's no excuses. And I know that's what the
• 16:41
  Pacers and I, and I think in the offseason, the Pacers and Rick
• 16:45
  Carla is going to go out and he's going to tell his team if
• 16:48
  we had Hal Burton, we win that series.
• 16:50
  And possibly could be true. But Shay Alexander is one of the
• 16:54
  best players in the league. I don't know if you can compare
• 16:57
  it to Michael Jordan. I know a lot of people want to
• 16:58
  do that. And everybody's trying to find
• 17:00
  that next Michael Jordan, as well As for years they were
• 17:03
  trying to find the other Allen Iverson.
• 17:05
  He can't compare and contrast players from different eras.
• 17:09
  What I could say about Shay Alexander is Shay Alexander is a
• 17:12
  killer. This guy goes out there, plays
• 17:15
  at the top of his game, one of the nicest guys on the
• 17:17
  basketball court, doesn't really talk much.
• 17:19
  You can see it doesn't talk much at the end of the game.
• 17:22
  He doesn't speak bad about the other players or the other team
• 17:25
  or even when they lose a game. Blame his teammates.
• 17:28
  That's what's impressive about Shay Alexander.
• 17:30
  He's special, he's fun to watch, and he's an offense machine.
• 17:34
  Do I think he's still the NB AM VP for the season?
• 17:38
  No. I believe Nicola Yokich was the
• 17:40
  best player in the league. Nevertheless, you can't take
• 17:43
  away of his success. This guy is one of very few
• 17:47
  people to win an MVP in a regular season and the MVP of
• 17:50
  the playoffs. And that stands out from guys
• 17:53
  like Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Shaquille O'Neal and Michael
• 17:56
  Jordan. But when you look at this, this
• 17:59
  series, it was incredible. Indiana was not expected to make
• 18:03
  the Finals. OKC was.
• 18:05
  OKC was one of the best teams in the league.
• 18:08
  They were the best team throughout the season.
• 18:09
  It was them and the Cavaliers. We expected that OKC was going
• 18:13
  to be here at one point. I did it, I'll admit it.
• 18:16
  I thought the Lakers were going to the Finals.
• 18:18
  I thought the Golden State Warriors had a better chance to
• 18:21
  make it than an OKC Thunder. So I take back what I say about
• 18:25
  what I thought of the OKC Thunder being the young team
• 18:28
  that they were. Nevertheless, this is a very
• 18:31
  well run machine, OK? And Jalen Williams, say whatever
• 18:36
  you want about what Shay Alexander did when you talk
• 18:39
  about Batman and Robin, these two guys, when we compare guys
• 18:44
  like Scottie Pippen and Michael Jordan or even LeBron James and
• 18:47
  Kyrie Irving, this could be one of the top three top 4 duos we
• 18:52
  have ever seen in NBA history play in a final series.
• 18:56
  That's how good both these guys were back and forth.
• 18:59
  If Shay wasn't playing well in one game or 1/2, you had Jaylen
• 19:03
  Williams playing well in that half.
• 19:05
  And Jaylen Williams and Shay Alexander do things that other
• 19:09
  duos do not do. When you talk about Shaquille
• 19:11
  O'Neal and Kobe Bryant, okay, Kobe was a great defender.
• 19:15
  Shaquille O'Neal was not. Those are the facts.
• 19:18
  When you look at Shay and Jaylen Williams, these guys were
• 19:21
  killers defensively. They were killers offensively.
• 19:24
  That's the difference here. 2 dimensional, 2 players that
• 19:28
  could play 2 dimensional basketball and then you look at
• 19:31
  Tyrese Halliburton and all the players in the out, the cast
• 19:35
  that they had over there, It was a sensational year for them.
• 19:38
  They have a tremendous amount of talent and a lot of youth.
• 19:42
  The problem with them is they don't have the other guy.
• 19:45
  They have a bunch of good players behind Tyrese Halberton
• 19:48
  and we don't even know if Tyrese Halberton is an all world
• 19:50
  player. He's up and he's down.
• 19:52
  He has these unbelievable games though.
• 19:54
  We say this guy is the best point guard in the league and
• 19:56
  then there are games that you wonder where the hell was he in
• 19:59
  one of the halves? Where the hell was he in the
• 20:02
  whole game? So that's the problem with
• 20:04
  Tyrese Halberton. I I look at this series.
• 20:07
  And I look at all the great series over the last seven years
• 20:10
  and it it's, it's an amazing stat.
• 20:12
  And that's something that's so interesting.
• 20:14
  The Thunder, one of seven teams that have won championships in
• 20:19
  the last seven years. When you talk about Golden
• 20:21
  State, we talk about all those teams over the years, the Yokage
• 20:24
  and the Denver Nuggets. It's an amazing feat when you
• 20:28
  look at the NBA and you look at them, you look at the the
• 20:31
  compare and contrast all these teams and, and so close
• 20:35
  together. It's so the talent is so close
• 20:38
  in the NBA now. If you look at the NHL, you look
• 20:41
  at the two best teams in the last two years, it's the Florida
• 20:44
  Panthers and the Edmonton Oilers.
• 20:46
  Go look. And by the way, Florida,
• 20:48
  congratulations to them. I haven't even been done to even
• 20:51
  get my my slacks on the the Florida Panthers in the
• 20:53
  greatness of what they have done in the last two years.
• 20:55
  But we will I will mention some things about the Florida
• 20:58
  Panthers a little bit later in the show.
• 21:00
  What I what I thought about the NBA playoffs that I've never,
• 21:04
  ever said is the comparable thought that all the teams were
• 21:08
  so close together. There was no top team in the
• 21:12
  playoffs as good as OKC was. And they won what, 84 total wins
• 21:17
  this year? They were a good team.
• 21:19
  But even the games that they won, they ever either blew
• 21:22
  people out or the games are so very close.
• 21:25
  And and that's the thing about OKC, when the Thunder figures
• 21:28
  things out, when the Thunder and they're a young team, when they
• 21:32
  figure figure things out, they might be unstoppable.
• 21:35
  They could win 3-4 championships in a row next year.
• 21:38
  They got two first round draft picks.
• 21:39
  The year after they got two first round draft picks.
• 21:42
  This team is loaded and they're going to be loaded for many,
• 21:45
  many years. And congratulations to Chet
• 21:47
  Holgren, who was the number one pick in a draft a couple of
• 21:50
  years ago who can't stay healthy.
• 21:51
  As he admitted after the game, the guy showed up in game #718
• 21:56
  points, 8 rebounds. He was sensational.
• 21:59
  That's what you need from a third player.
• 22:01
  When you talk about the three, the trios that we've seen over
• 22:04
  the years, the Miami Heat, do you remember that LeBron James,
• 22:09
  Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh? Chris Bosh averaged 1718 points
• 22:12
  a game, Dwyane Wade averaged about 2425, and LeBron averaged
• 22:17
  at 30. Then you get 3 players of that
• 22:20
  magnitude giving you that many points and give you those kind
• 22:22
  of points in those kind of minutes, you're unstoppable.
• 22:26
  Unstoppable. And that's what OKC is.
• 22:29
  They're unstoppable. Heinstein gave you the defense
• 22:32
  and the boards that you needed offensively.
• 22:35
  And by the way, in the second-half of the game, they
• 22:37
  absolutely dominated on the offensive side of the boards.
• 22:41
  Dort was unbelievable, unbelievable on the boards,
• 22:45
  especially game #7 when you have that kind of rebounding and the
• 22:49
  defense that they played against Indianapolis.
• 22:52
  And I know everybody's going to say they didn't have Tyrese
• 22:54
  Halpern. Nevertheless, with or without
• 22:57
  Tyrese Halpern, even though I think the Pacers would have won
• 22:59
  that game, they played an unbelievable defensive game.
• 23:03
  And that's why, ladies and gentlemen, the Indiana Pacers
• 23:06
  did not win that series even with, with or without Tyrese
• 23:09
  Halpern in a lot of people's eyes.
• 23:11
  Me differently. Other people would probably
• 23:13
  agree that even with Tyrese Halpern, they don't win the
• 23:16
  series. Yeah, it's not.
• 23:17
  Definitive on on either angle because you, like you said, the
• 23:19
  Pacers were still able to do well in the second quarter with
• 23:22
  the bench unit when Halliburton probably would have been out of
• 23:24
  the game anyway. That's where they're a lot of
• 23:26
  their points came from when McConnell was shooting very
• 23:28
  well, Benedict Mathern in a nice game.
• 23:29
  That's why the Pacers were up at halftime.
• 23:31
  That might not happen even if Halliburton was healthy too.
• 23:33
  So I think it would have probably even out of that, that
• 23:35
  point you mentioned, the rebounding, though, that was I
• 23:37
  think the biggest key when you look at Game 6 to Game 7,
• 23:40
  because Chet Holmgren had a dot in game six.
• 23:42
  He had four points. He was allowing a lot of
• 23:44
  offensive rebounds, was not defending well inside as well
• 23:47
  against the Pacers bench players.
• 23:48
  And in this game he had eight rebounds.
• 23:50
  A lot of the bench players as well, getting those tough
• 23:52
  offensive rebounds like Case on Wallace, Alex Caruso, another
• 23:55
  obviously unsung hero. He's that great guy off the
• 23:58
  bench that he had 10 points. He had three rebounds.
• 24:00
  Some great defense as well. You mentioned Door 7 rebounds
• 24:03
  and he didn't have the greatest offensive game, but his defense
• 24:05
  was fantastic against those Pacers shooting guards.
• 24:07
  Look at the Pacers shooting guards of their starting unit.
• 24:09
  Nie Smith had just three points. You look at Obi topping off the
• 24:13
  bench had a goose egg. Ben Shepherd off the bench had a
• 24:16
  goose egg. Like these are not great
• 24:17
  numbers. And that's the biggest thing
• 24:19
  when you have Halliburton not scoring at that high 25 point
• 24:22
  potential that the Pacers are still trying to figure out.
• 24:24
  Yes, they have random bench players that are broken out like
• 24:27
  Nemhar, like the third in this game, but that's the only thing
• 24:29
  that's still holding them back when you don't have the volume
• 24:31
  score because the Thunder have that, which was Shay.
• 24:33
  Shay had 3029 points in that game and he said 30 points most
• 24:37
  of the series. You had Jalen Williams and Chet
• 24:39
  Helmwood, all three of them at the same time scoring.
• 24:41
  They can get away with that. The Pacers can't get away with
• 24:43
  it as much when you don't don't have that type of scoring
• 24:45
  factor. But the Pacers had a gritty
• 24:47
  game. You got to give them their
• 24:48
  defense, a lot of credit. They hung tough.
• 24:50
  They didn't allow a lot of. Threes in the first half, they
• 24:52
  had a lot. Of threes in the first half,
• 24:53
  like I was saying with those bench unit guys, Mathurin led
• 24:55
  the team in points, 24 points, had 13 rebounds in that game.
• 24:58
  So he definitely the hell is. This guy too, Mathurin, he he
• 25:01
  goes up, he goes. What I wanted to do is the
• 25:03
  draft. Three years ago, I remember.
• 25:04
  That unbelievable where this guy comes from.
• 25:06
  I'd never even heard of him in Arizona.
• 25:08
  Yeah, through the. Playoffs.
• 25:10
  I didn't even know he even existed until the playoffs.
• 25:13
  And that tells you how much I watch of the the Indianapolis
• 25:16
  Pacers. I I call it Indianapolis because
• 25:18
  that's what they're in Indiana Pacers, but they're the
• 25:20
  Indianapolis Pacers in my eyes. Nevertheless.
• 25:23
  By the way, I don't know if anybody knows this.
• 25:25
  The OKC Thunder are the first team in NBA history that had
• 25:28
  four second round draft picks in their lineup and part of the
• 25:31
  rotation. And three of them were G League
• 25:34
  players. They came from the G League and
• 25:36
  one of them was Alex Caruso, who actually won two NBA
• 25:40
  championships. So and, and by the way, that
• 25:43
  trade for Alex Caruso probably won them the championship
• 25:46
  because Alex Caruso was the unsung hero throughout the
• 25:50
  series, defending multiple positions, great rebounder,
• 25:53
  scored many different ways in this series.
• 25:56
  It was just fun to watch. I I mean, OKC is young, they're
• 25:59
  young guns. They're they're guys that you
• 26:01
  expect to be here next year. I don't know in the Western
• 26:05
  Conference, when you look at teams like The Mavericks
• 26:07
  yesterday going to get Cooper flag, they might have a healthy
• 26:10
  Kyrie Irving at some point and and obviously Anthony Davis.
• 26:14
  Maybe The Mavericks will challenge them next year.
• 26:16
  Maybe the Lakers will make a trade and get a big time player
• 26:19
  to add to Luka Dodge and LeBron James.
• 26:21
  We all know that it's the LJA. So LeBron James getting the
• 26:24
  player that he wants it, it might happen.
• 26:26
  Jaylen Green, he went over there to the Suns.
• 26:29
  Do you think Jaylen Green's going to stay there with the
• 26:31
  Suns? Not a chance in hell.
• 26:32
  I expect Phoenix to trade him in the next couple of weeks, maybe
• 26:35
  even before the draft a week away from today.
• 26:37
  So it's now the. LJA with now the same owner with
• 26:41
  the with the Dodgers that did all the deferred money.
• 26:43
  So the Sky's the limit for what LeBron can manipulate to bring
• 26:46
  over there to the Lakers. If if they have, it makes sense
• 26:49
  they'll change the CVA down to allow the deferred body so
• 26:52
  LeBron can get what he wants. I know a lot of people don't
• 26:53
  like Jalen Green and I know everybody's going to say, well,
• 26:55
  Jalen Green sucked over there with the Rockets.
• 26:57
  If LeBron James gets a hold of him and gets him in his his
• 27:00
  claws, he could turn Jalen Green into a great player.
• 27:03
  He helped Kyrie Irving develop. He's helped a lot of players
• 27:06
  over the years develop. If he gets a guy that can lead
• 27:09
  him and lead him to stray and put him in position to succeed
• 27:12
  Jalen Green is a great offensive option guy that could be 1/3
• 27:15
  option to a team that has LeBron James who's giving you 24 to 25
• 27:18
  points. Luka Tonchik next year who lost
• 27:20
  about 30 lbs in the last couple of weeks last month.
• 27:25
  If you have a healthy a Luka Tonchik next year who's giving
• 27:27
  you 35 points and an MVP candidate and you have Jalen
• 27:31
  Green giving you about 1819 points.
• 27:33
  Man, the Lakers could be considered one of the best teams
• 27:35
  in the Western Conference to challenge OKC as well.
• 27:38
  So I I mean it's it's a lot of a lot of interesting things that
• 27:41
  could happen in the next couple of weeks.
• 27:43
  I know everybody says, well, the the Knicks don't have a head
• 27:45
  coach. The Knicks are a stupid
• 27:47
  organization. I will tell you this, the Knicks
• 27:50
  waited because I'm sure they're interested in interviewing some
• 27:53
  of the Indiana, Indiana coaches and probably some of the OK C
• 27:56
  Thunder coaches. But All in all, I think it's
• 27:59
  they know who they're going to hire.
• 28:01
  It's going to be Johnny Bryant. You'll I expect it to happen in
• 28:04
  the next week before the draft. And don't be, don't be surprised
• 28:07
  if that happens. But stop crying, Knick fans.
• 28:10
  There's a lot more and a lot of other teams that should be
• 28:12
  crying more than you. Yeah.
• 28:13
  Going back to OK, CI just want to finish up with this before
• 28:15
  you go Java. They also had the for a young
• 28:17
  team, the adversity aspect that I think was something that I I
• 28:20
  questioned too. I also picked the Lakers at the
• 28:22
  at the start of the postseason to go to the playoffs, go to the
• 28:24
  finals because I thought LeBron Luca being there together, the
• 28:26
  Celtics, I had repeating. I was thinking that was going to
• 28:28
  happen. But again, OKC young last year
• 28:31
  and they end up losing the five seed.
• 28:32
  I think that nugget series really gave them a sense of
• 28:34
  adversity when they were losing all those buzzer buzzer beaters
• 28:37
  when they had the collapse the way they did and then they blow
• 28:39
  them out in game seven. I think that gave them a sense
• 28:41
  of and Shay fish you were talking about before we went on
• 28:45
  the air shot 8 for 27 but he still did so.
• 28:47
  Many other. Things very well he got 12
• 28:49
  assists. He still was playing great
• 28:50
  defense. I don't know how Burton was out
• 28:52
  Halliburton does lead the Pacers.
• 28:53
  It's definitely possible. But again, this was the game
• 28:56
  that was one with defense, which is the identity that that the
• 28:58
  Thunder want to bring and they still have the dots throughout
• 29:01
  the whole throughout the whole game on the defensive side of
• 29:03
  the ball. A.
• 29:04
  Tale of two halves defense, we knew was going to somehow just
• 29:07
  bottle them up because for I think it was 6 or 7 minutes into
• 29:14
  the third quarter, nobody else scored except TJ McConnell.
• 29:20
  And there's no chance you're going to win.
• 29:22
  And as soon as, as soon as I I saw it and then I was like, OK,
• 29:25
  well, it's been 4 minutes. They scored, It's been 5
• 29:29
  minutes. And I'm like, it's going to turn
• 29:30
  into a blowout. And it just goes to the depth in
• 29:34
  the defensive, just prowess that they had and just the
• 29:37
  aggressiveness. And I mean, it's tough.
• 29:40
  I mean, you have to play through adversity, obviously in any
• 29:43
  sport, no matter what. But being in a Game 7, having
• 29:46
  that happen like that, we've seen it before and it, it's
• 29:49
  never easy. And you got to have guys step up
• 29:53
  and they, they just didn't, they ran out of the gas.
• 29:56
  I mean, you could see how tired TJ was, you know, in the in the
• 30:00
  second-half towards the end, because he was trying to do
• 30:03
  everything. He went off for a while and it
• 30:06
  it was fun to watch, but nobody else was doing anything.
• 30:10
  They were, you know, just they're getting to the cup.
• 30:13
  But when you have guys that are athletic as SGA and then Chet
• 30:17
  obviously doing what he did yesterday and how he is way more
• 30:21
  athletic than I thought defensively and how he would
• 30:24
  switch off guys and and protect the rim.
• 30:27
  And obviously half the time he didn't have to jump.
• 30:29
  He just kind of had to go on his tip toes.
• 30:31
  But it was just it it was fun game, but then you just kind of
• 30:36
  knew how it was going to play out and it and it played out
• 30:39
  like I'm just glad they didn't get blown out by like 30 and he
• 30:43
  just well, Pacers. Bench was still there.
• 30:44
  They were doing enough to keep him in the game in the second
• 30:46
  well. And then they, they couldn't get
• 30:48
  a bucket. They, they got it down to 12
• 30:49
  with like 6 minutes to go. I'm like, we they still got a
• 30:52
  chance, but then they just couldn't make a bucket.
• 30:55
  And then they hit a big three and you know, they get to the
• 30:58
  line. But when you force 21 turnovers
• 31:00
  and you only have 6 it, that just tells you what it is.
• 31:04
  And hats off to Chet because he was Doo Doo magoo in game six.
• 31:10
  That's a good. Take right there.
• 31:11
  That's a good cut up Doo Doo that'll be.
• 31:13
  Good, you're all serious about my.
• 31:14
  Butt and so good for him and and it was it was cool to see like
• 31:21
  everybody's celebrating. He goes over to silver and like
• 31:25
  he wanted to just touch, like everybody was celebrating, but
• 31:29
  he would go over and just touch the trophy and then, you know,
• 31:31
  got pictures with his family and, you know, just was very
• 31:34
  candid about him not staying healthy.
• 31:35
  And I wasn't really sold on him when he and then obviously he
• 31:39
  gets hurt. So you're like, oh, another one
• 31:41
  of these. But hats off to him for working
• 31:43
  his butt off and expanding his game and you know, getting
• 31:47
  better. So we'll see what happens.
• 31:49
  I'm sure they got. Plenty of corn in Indiana also,
• 31:52
  but they're not going to have a great basketball team next year
• 31:56
  without Halliburton, man. And that for me as a Knicks fan,
• 32:00
  I, I was really upset with Halliburton, obviously his
• 32:03
  antics during the series, but you don't want to see a guy go
• 32:06
  out like this. There's some people that are
• 32:07
  kind of reveling in this a little too much.
• 32:10
  One of our fans was who was who was put up there.
• 32:13
  Kevin was a little, little too happy about the injury.
• 32:16
  Look, don't be too happy about the injury.
• 32:18
  That's what karma is. He was like, oh, it's karma.
• 32:20
  Like, no, no, you saying it's karma is going to mean something
• 32:23
  bad's going to happen to the Knicks now.
• 32:24
  So don't do that, Kevin. The Knicks need to have this
• 32:28
  wide open E next year. Who who's better than the Knicks
• 32:31
  right now going into next season?
• 32:34
  Even if they don't do anything because everyone's, that's a
• 32:38
  key. A key guy is hurt other than the
• 32:41
  Cavs. And I'm not super afraid of the
• 32:43
  Cavs, but that's. Doesn't this actually upset you?
• 32:46
  Because think about it, if Indiana is bad next year, if
• 32:49
  India, they'll be a playoff borderline player.
• 32:51
  But if they're not, they fall off next year.
• 32:54
  They're going to get a top lottery pick next year with Hal
• 32:56
  Burton coming back and the team that they have together.
• 32:59
  Same thing with the a guy A-Team like the Boston Celtics.
• 33:02
  They could be really, really bad.
• 33:03
  Jaylen Brown could go. They're here.
• 33:05
  I'm hearing stories that Jaylen Brown I yes, Kobe's wife or
• 33:08
  there's some stories coming out that he could be dating.
• 33:10
  Kobe did. Hear that, that, that.
• 33:12
  Could be happening. I don't really care about that.
• 33:14
  I know everybody keeps saying, but Jaylen Brown, There are
• 33:16
  stories coming out that Boston might let Jaylen Brown go and
• 33:18
  get his knee surgery in the offseason.
• 33:20
  That means he could be out at half a season.
• 33:22
  Boston could be really, really, really bad next year and they
• 33:26
  could get a lottery pick. Could you imagine what that team
• 33:28
  is going to be the year after if they have a healthy Jason Tatum,
• 33:31
  Jalen Brown and whoever they draft in next year's draft?
• 33:34
  Draft A. Boozer brother by the.
• 33:35
  Way is one of the best worry. About that when we get it's
• 33:38
  going to be. One wanted.
• 33:39
  Next to have a chance. They've got such a good chance
• 33:43
  now going to next year choke like they always do.
• 33:46
  Unfortunately, we'll see. Who the coach is, I hope they
• 33:48
  have a little bit more of a creative defensive system if
• 33:51
  they're going to stay with Towns and Robinson because obviously
• 33:54
  like look, the Knicks, those guys didn't play together.
• 33:57
  They were all hurt at different points of the season.
• 33:59
  So they never ran that Robinson Towns lineup until they got to
• 34:03
  the playoffs. So it just you need to play
• 34:06
  together if you're going to run any kind of defensive system,
• 34:08
  especially the really like dependent on each other system.
• 34:11
  Tibbs had it, it just wasn't going to work.
• 34:14
  And I think we saw it at the worst time by a coach who knew
• 34:16
  how to exploit it. Carlisle deserves all the credit
• 34:19
  in the world for getting that team to to really get to that
• 34:23
  point. I I don't think you can give all
• 34:25
  the credit to Halliburton. I think Carlisle deserves a
• 34:28
  whole lot of credit. I mean, we were talking about it
• 34:30
  last week. Errol, he got he think about
• 34:32
  what he did. He was able to defeat the coach
• 34:35
  of the year in at the Cavs with what's with our buddy?
• 34:42
  I can't forget his name right now, Cavs coach Kenny, our boy
• 34:45
  Kenny. Then he beats the Knicks so bad
• 34:48
  Tibbs gets fired and then he goes to game seven and only
• 34:53
  loses. And I, and I don't know, I the
• 34:55
  way Halliburton was playing, it looked like it was going to be
• 34:58
  one of those 30 point triple double S when he hit those 3
• 35:01
  threes from way downtown like he was Steph Curry to start the
• 35:04
  game. My God, it looked like we're
• 35:07
  about to see it again. And I think that's the only
• 35:11
  reason they lose. I think he coached almost a
• 35:13
  perfect playoffs, you know, as good as you possibly can coach
• 35:17
  and I think he deserves all the credit he.
• 35:19
  He deserves a lot of credit and nobody's going to take away from
• 35:22
  Rick Carl. I know Joppa says he was part of
• 35:23
  those Boston teams. I could care less because he
• 35:26
  barely played. We know he's a great basketball
• 35:28
  mind. There's no question he's a great
• 35:29
  basketball mind And and me and Fish were talking about it.
• 35:32
  I think it was yesterday or today.
• 35:34
  We were talking about it today, that he probably is a top 2
• 35:38
  coach right now in the NBA. Him and Spoelstra, you can argue
• 35:41
  are the two best coaches in the NBA and I don't think he's
• 35:44
  better than Spoelstra because Bolstra has done it with
• 35:47
  multiple teams and he's an impressive with eight seeds.
• 35:50
  Yeah, he's impressive. He's an impressive coach.
• 35:53
  Pat Riley disciple and a lot of those guys, look at their
• 35:56
  stories coming out that Jeff Van Gundy is interviewing for the
• 35:59
  Nick coach again. Oh yeah, coaching job again.
• 36:01
  So I don't want Jeff Van Gundy's an old man.
• 36:03
  I don't want the old, the old, you know, I'd.
• 36:05
  Rather have him on TV calling the game than what the crap we
• 36:09
  had watched for that entire series.
• 36:10
  I've also. Heard, Oh my God, did you hear
• 36:12
  that Stephen A Smith is, is pushing for for Mark Jackson?
• 36:16
  I don't want Mark Jackson for one reason.
• 36:19
  Mark Jackson is a great personality, but in front of the
• 36:22
  press here in New York, he will make a mockery out of the New
• 36:25
  York Knicks. If the Knicks start to lose, it
• 36:28
  will be really, really bad, so and they will Mark.
• 36:30
  Jackson, I'm just. Saying they'll drop the hammer
• 36:33
  on Mark Jackson over here pretty quickly.
• 36:35
  He'll be like Derek Fisher. Yeah.
• 36:37
  How quick Derek Fisher was in and out because he was sleeping
• 36:39
  with other people's wives. That's what's going to happen, I
• 36:41
  don't think. Mark Jackson.
• 36:43
  By the way, does anybody know the story about Mark Jackson?
• 36:45
  Jackson, after he got fired, he was out New York and he was
• 36:48
  going senile and he was talking about like Jesus Christ being
• 36:52
  rebirthed and something like that.
• 36:53
  He was on a video and embarrassed himself.
• 36:56
  Like he really embarrassed himself when it came to
• 36:58
  preaching about certain things and the devil.
• 37:01
  I mean, I don't want Mark Jackson going out there in the
• 37:03
  public eye and saying something stupid that's going to make us
• 37:06
  look bad, worse than we always do as New Yorkers.
• 37:09
  So I don't want Mark Jackson for all the people, you know,
• 37:13
  speaking about Mark Jackson being the next head coach for
• 37:15
  the next. But then again, Rick Carlisle is
• 37:17
  a sensational coach. You got to give him a lot of
• 37:19
  credit. And and again, the Pacers
• 37:21
  deserve a lot of credit for all the trials and tribulations
• 37:23
  they've had all season long, the injuries that they've had, the
• 37:26
  comebacks that they've had and the way they shot the ball when
• 37:30
  they needed to hit threes and big threes, they did it.
• 37:33
  The problem with the NBA, you'll ride with the three.
• 37:36
  You die with the three. And that's what happened with
• 37:38
  the Indiana. And that's why I think the NBA
• 37:41
  and the LJA, whatever you want to call it, is impossible to
• 37:44
  understand these three-point lines.
• 37:47
  Eventually, I've been hearing stories that the NBA could try
• 37:49
  to fit that tournament, a four point line where you could shoot
• 37:52
  4 point shots. I do not want to see that.
• 37:55
  The NBA needs to stop this disgrace of a basketball game
• 37:59
  when it comes to, oh, now everybody's going to be chucking
• 38:01
  up four points. You know, hey, it's four point.
• 38:04
  Remember Rock and Jock on Mt. Yeah, I remember the rock and
• 38:08
  jock game. Well, in NBA Jan, they used to
• 38:10
  have the hot spots where you can like dunk from like for an 8
• 38:13
  pointer from like the behind the line or so behind the half
• 38:16
  court. It is all so stupid.
• 38:18
  And I agree. And Errol, I was actually
• 38:20
  talking to a high school basketball coach today who just
• 38:23
  went to me. He's like, I don't watch the NBI
• 38:25
  was like, did you see the game last night?
• 38:26
  And he goes, I don't watch the NBA.
• 38:28
  He's like, I can't deal with just these three pointers, 3
• 38:31
  pointers killing the game. And he's an old man.
• 38:33
  So he's gotten to the point where he remembers the game for
• 38:35
  probably about 30 plus years without, without a shot clock,
• 38:39
  without, you know, a three-point line.
• 38:41
  And he just hates what we were talking about.
• 38:43
  I'm like, look, you know, it's when they we have that 5
• 38:46
  outlook, when you have all the teams running it, everyone's
• 38:48
  just standing around the perimeter.
• 38:50
  Even goal, even OKC is doing it. It's just Shea dribbling at the
• 38:53
  top of the key or coming off from an angle and there's a like
• 38:56
  maybe 1, one action like screen, you know, screen away.
• 38:59
  It's nothing crazy. They don't do anything that used
• 39:02
  to be like intricate like we used to see.
• 39:04
  There's very few teams running a motion offense like Popovich did
• 39:07
  for a number of years where there's, you know, and you can
• 39:10
  go back and teams that used to do more different like the
• 39:13
  triangle offense where it's just the balls moving.
• 39:16
  So it's entertaining basketball and guys are cutting, guys are
• 39:19
  in the post and setting, you know, screens in the post.
• 39:22
  We don't see any of that anymore.
• 39:23
  We just see whoever's got the best shooting night and whoever
• 39:26
  can play the best perimeter defense is the winner, and it's
• 39:30
  not as fun of a game, and that sucks.
• 39:32
  It's boring. And that's why I don't like
• 39:33
  watching it in the regular season.
• 39:35
  Nobody cares about the regular season with the.
• 39:37
  I think they need the fix it. Errol to me is a legal offense
• 39:42
  like they used to have a legal defense.
• 39:43
  Defense no more five out. You cannot have a 5 outside.
• 39:47
  Bringing hand checking back to the NBA, that would be fun.
• 39:50
  That's what you want to see. And, and stop with these
• 39:52
  flagrant ones and flagrant twos and technical fouls.
• 39:56
  Let the game be a little bit more rougher, make the game a
• 39:59
  little bit more fun. When the game was like that in
• 40:02
  the 90s, it was fun to watch Shaquille O'Neal and Charles
• 40:04
  Barkley swinging at each other. I want to see that Kenny, you
• 40:08
  know, Kenny the Jet Smith, you know, cursing out, you know,
• 40:11
  Vernon Maxwell because he tried to hip check them when he was
• 40:14
  going up for a layup. That's what I want to see.
• 40:16
  That's what what made the game so fun to watch.
• 40:20
  Now you watch you put a pinky on LeBron James, he's going up and
• 40:23
  shooting 2 free throws. I don't want to see it anymore
• 40:25
  or Steph Curry shooting up a three and because he's flopping
• 40:29
  and bopping or one of the worst James Harden, Mr. Flopper
• 40:33
  himself, he chucks up threes and then he's going to the free
• 40:36
  throw line shooting three, you know, 3 free throws.
• 40:39
  I don't want to see that. It's an easy 3 points and that
• 40:41
  gives teams much better chances to winning games, especially in
• 40:45
  a regular season. That's none of these young kids
• 40:47
  even care about that. It's fantasy sports and money
• 40:50
  making Jabba. You know all about it is what
• 40:52
  could you bring to me when it comes to my pockets as I was on
• 40:56
  the boat and a cruise trip? What are they doing all
• 40:59
  practically 90% of the time they were gambling.
• 41:02
  That's what they were doing on the boat.
• 41:04
  Gamble, gamble, gamble, gobble gobble gobble like the chicken
• 41:07
  always do or the rooster. You know, all bad cops anyways.
• 41:11
  That's. The next one, No, that's the
• 41:13
  turkeys. Well.
• 41:14
  Wait a second, Roosters are not turkeys?
• 41:17
  Well, they're the ones the. Gobble.
• 41:19
  Well, yeah, Turkey's gobble. Whatever.
• 41:22
  Anyways, ESPN reports that Kevin Durant is being traded to the
• 41:26
  Rockets, his fourth different team since leaving the Thunder
• 41:31
  in 2016. The Suns will get back the
• 41:34
  number 10 overall pick in this year's draft, 5 second round
• 41:39
  draft picks and guard Jalen Green.
• 41:42
  And yes, once again, he's going somewhere else.
• 41:45
  The one and only Dylan Brooks. Reports say that the Rockets
• 41:49
  spurs any heat where 3 landing spots for Durant preferred to be
• 41:53
  traded to. Durant also mentioned wanting to
• 41:57
  go to the Rockets because of his relationship with his head coach
• 42:02
  Imei Udoka. Yes, I said it right.
• 42:05
  From his team with the Nets and USA Basketball, Durant was the
• 42:11
  best in the NBA this year with 49.7% shooting percentage on
• 42:17
  jump shots and 53.1% in mid range shots.
• 42:21
  The Rockets were 24th in the NBA this year in affected field
• 42:27
  goals, percentage on jump shots and 27th on shots off the
• 42:33
  dribble, something Durant is very strong at.
• 42:36
  After the trade, the Rockets, betting odd to win next year's
• 42:40
  NBA title, was 18 to one, second highest only behind the Thunder.
• 42:46
  What are they on? Drugs.
• 42:48
  I love Kevin Durant. He's a great player.
• 42:51
  Besides his Twitter pics or his Twitter feeds, I love Kevin
• 42:55
  Durant, his nonsense off the court and his greatness on the
• 42:59
  basketball court. This is not the Kevin Durant
• 43:02
  when he was 2829 or even 30. This is Kevin Durant who's 36
• 43:07
  years old this year. He's an old man, OK, He's a good
• 43:10
  player. He still can shoot the three.
• 43:13
  He's still one of the more efficient guys that you would
• 43:16
  expect that gets the ball and shoots the ball.
• 43:18
  The the problem with Kevin Durant is he gets hurt too much.
• 43:21
  The problem right now with the Rockets, they gave away depth.
• 43:24
  Dylan Brooks is a good defender. Dylan Brooks is a good enforcer.
• 43:27
  You losing Dylan Brooks and Jalen Green and the 10th overall
• 43:31
  pick, you're not looking towards this year's draft saying, Oh
• 43:35
  well, the Rockets still can add a piece with Kevin Durant and
• 43:38
  the players that they have where they can get over the hump.
• 43:40
  Here's the problem right now with the Western Conference, as
• 43:43
  much as they're 18 to 1 betting favorites, that doesn't mean
• 43:46
  crap. And by the way, everybody that
• 43:48
  says says, hey, you know what? There's something about Vegas
• 43:50
  that they know something that we don't.
• 43:52
  Here's what Vegas is trying to try to persuade you that look,
• 43:56
  the LJA doesn't know what the organization and the product is
• 44:00
  going to do in the offseason to help LeBron James.
• 44:03
  Because we all know LeBron James is going to get something out of
• 44:08
  this. As we see Cooper flag go to The
• 44:10
  Mavericks when they're 1.8% percentage chance to get the
• 44:14
  number one pick. Just think about it, 1.8%,
• 44:18
  that's 98%. There was a 98% chance they
• 44:22
  couldn't get Cooper flag and they got the number one pick.
• 44:25
  Why? Because the LJA and LeBron James
• 44:28
  got what he wanted. Luca friggin Dodgek.
• 44:31
  That's what happened, ladies and gentlemen.
• 44:34
  But nevertheless, you go back and you look at this situation
• 44:38
  and and I like, like I said, I'm going to go back to Kevin
• 44:40
  Durant. I like him.
• 44:41
  A lot of Knick fans would have rathered him going to the
• 44:43
  Knicks. What were the Knicks willing to
• 44:45
  give up to get Kevin Durant, OG and Anobi?
• 44:48
  I've heard Michael Bridges, I heard that could be involved in
• 44:52
  Miles McBride was another name that we could have been involved
• 44:55
  with that trade. Mitchell Robertson or the Knick
• 44:57
  fans just absolutely adore. Do you want to give up two
• 45:00
  pieces or three pieces to the puzzle to get a Kevin Durant
• 45:05
  who, by the way, didn't want to come to the Knicks when he had a
• 45:08
  chance to come to the Knicks? Wayne, he couldn't.
• 45:10
  He went, he decided to go to the Nets to play with Kyrie Irving
• 45:13
  and then drew out James Harden. What a debacle that was.
• 45:17
  The fact is Kevin Durant isn't the same Kevin Durant and Kevin
• 45:20
  Durant couldn't do it himself. Kevin Durant is now going to a
• 45:23
  Rockets team that has who? Who's the other guy on this
• 45:27
  roster? Sweetie please tell me who is
• 45:30
  the other guy on this roster that you that scares you when it
• 45:35
  come it comes to making a run for an NBA title?
• 45:37
  Please the. Next the The next best player
• 45:40
  you're looking at scoring wise is probably Van Vleet.
• 45:42
  Overall, it's probably Van. Vleet yeah, San Grun's the next
• 45:46
  best player. Grun is.
• 45:47
  The best all around player. For sure.
• 45:49
  Yeah, big man. You're going to tell me this guy
• 45:54
  is a game? They got a.
• 45:55
  Big man and they got a, they got a guard in Van Vleet who's been
• 45:59
  there for a title stop. He's he won a title in Toronto.
• 46:02
  Wasn't the guy there? But you know they've been.
• 46:04
  Trying to trade Van Vleet for the last two years at the trade
• 46:08
  downline, They don't even want him there.
• 46:09
  This is a crock. And I don't I don't want to sit
• 46:12
  here and just say that Kevin Durant didn't want that to
• 46:14
  happen with the Suns. When they added the pieces that
• 46:17
  they had with Bradley Beal over there and Booker.
• 46:20
  They had a better trio over there than he does over here
• 46:23
  with the Rocket. I understand e-mail.
• 46:26
  Adoka is a good coach. Great.
• 46:28
  He also likes to get into other people's pants.
• 46:31
  You know, he's married and he likes to jump ship every single
• 46:33
  time. Hey, does he have hoes in
• 46:35
  different area codes? Maybe we should ask his wife.
• 46:38
  Nevertheless, I could care less. The fact right now is Kevin
• 46:42
  Durant is heading to the Houston Rockets.
• 46:44
  I know Jamie Lee, you don't like it.
• 46:45
  Or maybe you do. I know you're a Rockets fan.
• 46:48
  The fact is, Rocket fans cannot be happy.
• 46:50
  Do we remember the last? OK, C OK, C Thunder play players
• 46:54
  that have gone to the Rockets, huh?
• 46:55
  Let's go back. Russell Westbrook was over there
• 46:58
  with James Harden. How did that work out?
• 47:01
  Please tell me they were both there, both of them.
• 47:05
  Both of them were there playing with each other.
• 47:07
  How did that debacle work out for them?
• 47:09
  It didn't. James Harden, a bull hog,
• 47:12
  Russell Westbrook, a bull hog. You also had Chris Paul there.
• 47:15
  How did that work out? Yeah, they had better teams and
• 47:19
  better players there and Kevin Durant there.
• 47:21
  What does that do for the organization?
• 47:24
  It doesn't do nothing. And I don't know why anybody,
• 47:27
  including Vegas, thinks they're the 18 to 1 favorites out of the
• 47:31
  Western Conference. How about Denver?
• 47:33
  You're going to tell me Denver's not getting a pieces in the
• 47:35
  offseason and maybe trade away pieces?
• 47:37
  I've heard that Jamal Murray could be traded in the
• 47:39
  offseason. Teams interested in bringing in
• 47:41
  a point guard to help them out. You put another piece with a guy
• 47:44
  like Yokich? Are you kidding me?
• 47:46
  You're going to give them the 18-1 favorites, the second best
• 47:49
  team to come out of the West. What are you on drugs?
• 47:52
  LJA, ladies and gentlemen. That's what I'm saying.
• 47:55
  Vegas and the LJA. Who's sleeping with who?
• 47:58
  Is Adam Silver sleeping with somebody over there in Vegas or
• 48:01
  his ears flying away like Dumbo? He looked terrible by the way he
• 48:06
  went up there carrying that freaking trophy.
• 48:08
  His ears, one of his ears were bigger than the freaking trophy.
• 48:11
  I mean, honestly, his nose really stuck out too.
• 48:14
  He looks like Poke Pinocchio. I, I just, I, I am so tired of
• 48:18
  Adam Silver and, and the NBA and these executives thinking that
• 48:23
  this is a great sport and this is a great product that they
• 48:26
  have. Now I'll go back to what I said.
• 48:29
  I know everybody's going to look at me and say, wait a second,
• 48:31
  Errol, you just said the product has been the best, I mean, the
• 48:35
  closest that it's ever been. Here's the problem.
• 48:38
  Doesn't he? Look like Dracula.
• 48:39
  Oh man, he looks so. Bad he he dude.
• 48:41
  He is one of the goofiest looking guys I've ever seen.
• 48:44
  All right, he is Goofy, but neverthel he is goofy.
• 48:46
  He almost took over for Disney for as the CEO of Disney, he's
• 48:51
  perfect. So that's how he left.
• 48:54
  It was pretty. Good.
• 48:55
  It was great. Thank you, I appreciate it.
• 48:57
  Anyways, getting back to the NBA and the way the NBA works, I
• 49:02
  love those bad those bad guy teams, the Lakers of the 80's,
• 49:05
  the the Celtics of the 80's, the the 90s or even the late 80's,
• 49:09
  the Detroit Pistons or the Chicago Bulls or the, the
• 49:13
  Rockets were very likable team. So I can't say they were the
• 49:15
  mean people. Even even San Antonio, they were
• 49:18
  a team that you cheered on because nobody, you know,
• 49:20
  everybody like Gregg Popovich and Tim Duncan was a quiet guy
• 49:23
  that went out there and played the game.
• 49:24
  But you like those bad guys, The Lakers of the nine of the early
• 49:28
  2000s with Kobe Bryant, the assassin that he was, Mamba
• 49:32
  before he became the Mamba and Shaquille O'Neal doesn't shut
• 49:35
  his mouth. I'm a Diesel.
• 49:36
  I'm going to take the hope and shove it up your ass.
• 49:38
  You know those kind of guys. There was always those teams
• 49:41
  that you love to hate. LeBron James with the Miami
• 49:44
  Heat, remember that with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, you love to
• 49:48
  hate those teams. Even the LeBron James of Kyrie
• 49:51
  Irving and Kevin Love, you hated those teams.
• 49:53
  The NBA don't have that anymore. Who do you hate?
• 49:56
  You have Indiana and Halpern choking when he's playing in
• 50:00
  Madison Square Garden. Am I really that scared of
• 50:03
  Tyrese Halpern and the crap that they have over there?
• 50:05
  OK C is a good young team. Do you think OK C is going to
• 50:08
  win the championship next year? Right now, when you look at the
• 50:11
  numbers and the statistics, you probably say no, they're they
• 50:14
  don't have that. That assassin over there.
• 50:17
  Shay is a great player. Is he really that much of an
• 50:20
  assassin over there for the Thunder?
• 50:22
  For that, you could say, oh, man, they're going to absolutely
• 50:25
  win another title. There's a lot of questions
• 50:27
  there. So, I mean, I know Fish is
• 50:30
  sitting here laughing and happy that the Knicks have the best
• 50:33
  chance to win the East and maybe go on to go to the NBA Finals.
• 50:38
  I just, I don't trust the Knicks and I don't trust the NBA
• 50:41
  because there's no team out there that scares me and says,
• 50:45
  hey, you know what? I don't want to play that team
• 50:47
  next year. I don't want to play because
• 50:49
  they have that assassin. They have Shay Alexander that
• 50:51
  really scares me. He's a great offensive player,
• 50:53
  but he doesn't scare me. That's why Hal Burton, I thought
• 50:57
  was the assassin of this series, even though Shay was the better
• 51:01
  player when Hal Burton took over certain games, I think people,
• 51:04
  some people remember what Shay was.
• 51:06
  I mean, what? How Burton was doing in this
• 51:08
  series when he took over some of those games, then Shay Alexander
• 51:12
  when he he was averaging 202829 points in this series.
• 51:16
  So I that's the only problem right now in the NBA.
• 51:18
  There's no assassin team that everybody wants to beat.
• 51:21
  Nobody Golden State that I hated, Golden State.
• 51:24
  Everybody hated Golden State when they were.
• 51:26
  They will have Kevin Durant and and Steph Curry and Klay
• 51:30
  Thompson and Draymond Green. There's nothing out there right
• 51:33
  now in the NBA that the NBA provides where it says, hey, I
• 51:38
  want to play that team. And that's the problem right now
• 51:41
  with the LJA LeBron James Association.
• 51:43
  LeBron James has taken this product and shoved it up his
• 51:48
  ass. And that's what makes them the
• 51:49
  Lakers clapped it. Right out.
• 51:50
  Yeah, the Lakers. Might be the most hateable team
• 51:52
  for that reason, yes. Like.
• 51:53
  I always gave up the booty. As LeBron James always gives up
• 51:57
  the booty and another. Thing.
• 51:58
  Let's go ask. P Diddy for that.
• 51:59
  You know the other thing, there's a lot of those other
• 52:00
  thing they. Gave up the booty.
• 52:01
  Maybe too soon. Maybe too soon.
• 52:07
  Bend over. Bend over, LeBron.
• 52:09
  OK. Oh, P, what was that?
• 52:14
  Are you happy to see me? That thing is a little small
• 52:16
  there. Are you still doing the goofy
• 52:18
  voice? I think it just, it just kept
• 52:22
  carrying on. Honestly, as long as she's
• 52:23
  using. Dude wipes and taking care of my
• 52:25
  2 hole. I'm good, Goofy.
• 52:27
  Would never use dude wipes. Ouch.
• 52:30
  I don't know. I mean, we should promote that
• 52:32
  for Disney. You know, Dude wipe Disney, Dude
• 52:35
  wipes Disney, Dude wipes. You know, with Goofy, Mickey,
• 52:38
  Minnie, all of them, Donald Duck, you know that kind of
• 52:41
  stuff. Who's quacking, ladies and
• 52:43
  gentlemen? I'm quacking.
• 52:45
  I had to go on that boat ride cruise.
• 52:48
  Thank you, I almost lost lost my son at Disney.
• 52:51
  Oh jeez. I don't want to know the story.
• 52:53
  I don't want the story so. No, he was.
• 52:55
  He was hiding in the in the clothes, like the shirts.
• 52:59
  The shirts. What you he was.
• 53:01
  He was like, he was like 4. You sure Minnie wasn't trying to
• 53:04
  steal him? Yeah.
• 53:08
  We found him. He was, he was playing like
• 53:10
  peekaboo. Oh.
• 53:12
  God, peekaboo ICU. That's a good one.
• 53:14
  That's a good drop. Peekaboo, peekaboo.
• 53:17
  That's right, I gave. Up the movie there.
• 53:19
  So, Errol, would you say it was a successful trip despite all
• 53:23
  this stuff? You know, everybody's going to
• 53:26
  sit here and tell me, Errol, stop putting down the trip.
• 53:29
  There are good parts of the trip that I can talk about, and there
• 53:32
  are a lot of bad ones. And OK, better question is,
• 53:35
  would you do it again? No.
• 53:36
  Not, not that, not Norwegian. I will never go on a Norwegian
• 53:40
  cruise ship ever again. And so you haven't.
• 53:44
  You haven't banged it all together.
• 53:46
  No, I'm. Not going to bang it.
• 53:47
  And if I'm going to bang it, I'm going to bang it 3 or 4 times.
• 53:50
  I'm just not going to bang it with that.
• 53:51
  And, and if a cruise ship had a tailpipe, I'm not banging it.
• 53:55
  OK, I'm moving away from the tailpipe before it bangs me.
• 53:59
  It by the by the way, I have pictures of a rock almost raping
• 54:01
  me. That's a whole nother story over
• 54:03
  there in Bermuda. These pictures.
• 54:05
  If I showed you these pictures, it would look like I was getting
• 54:08
  banged in the ass by a rock. Just say it really does.
• 54:11
  I told Brittany I was like, what the hell are you doing that
• 54:14
  looks now those pictures are horrible.
• 54:16
  It really looks and my face is that I'm making it looks like
• 54:19
  the the the the rocks fucking me.
• 54:21
  Excuse my language, but that's what it looks like.
• 54:23
  It is a horrible sight. Let me tell you I'll show you
• 54:26
  guys the picture. I'll send it in a group message.
• 54:28
  Tell me if it doesn't look like the rocks raping me.
• 54:31
  So and she laughs at it all the time.
• 54:32
  I say, who told you to take that picture?
• 54:34
  I'm not even looking up. I'm looking down and I'm making
• 54:37
  these faces because I'm trying to the the rock was so sharp, it
• 54:40
  was sticking me, you know, in in areas I can't even tell you
• 54:44
  Inevitable I. Thought I thought at first he
• 54:46
  meant like the rock that you saw in Bermuda, not like a rock, a
• 54:49
  rock. A big huge rock was stabbing me
• 54:52
  in the ass, yes, and I was making these weird faces, Yeah.
• 54:56
  So anyways, I'm sorry guys, I'm sorry I cursed, but it was an
• 55:00
  interesting Norwegian trip and I definitely would probably never
• 55:05
  do Norwegian again. We got to do, I want to tell
• 55:08
  this, we have to, I said got to. We have to do a trip with all of
• 55:13
  us and our significant others. Speedy, you can have your hands.
• 55:17
  That could be we could dress your hand up as your significant
• 55:19
  others, you know, or you know what, you could take Tommy as
• 55:22
  your guest. You know, you could sleep
• 55:24
  together in a bed. What do you think, Tommy?
• 55:26
  I think that'll be cool. That is a hard pass.
• 55:29
  Well, you snore loud enough. I think Speedy Speedy's the most
• 55:32
  quiet sleeper. He curls up, dude.
• 55:36
  He curls up in a ball. It's like, it's like I've never
• 55:39
  seen a fish. You've seen him.
• 55:41
  He curls up in this little ball. So.
• 55:43
  Like a little, I don't know what I saw him.
• 55:44
  He looked like Frankenstein's monster, waking up straight up
• 55:49
  like this. And it was, it was interesting.
• 55:53
  It was an interesting thing. It was late at night, though.
• 55:56
  It was late at night, yeah. He doesn't sleep much though I
• 55:59
  heard no. Not until four, 5:00, and then
• 56:02
  he'll sleep all the way to 1212 in the afternoon.
• 56:04
  At 1. You have to really smack him
• 56:06
  around or even spill water or even piss on his face.
• 56:09
  I didn't do that. OK, so I But if he did that, I'd
• 56:12
  probably wake him up. Right, Speedy?
• 56:14
  Would that wake you up? No.
• 56:15
  No. You would be sleeping if I
• 56:16
  pissed on you. I don't.
• 56:18
  Know probably wake up I. Don't know.
• 56:23
  Just like Kevin Durant's going to wake up the Rockets when he
• 56:28
  moves on. Over to them.
• 56:30
  Could you imagine? That do we?
• 56:31
  Really think that this is going to lead to anything other than
• 56:34
  like a low playoff seed in a first round exit.
• 56:36
  I don't. Think they're going to be a low
• 56:38
  playoff seed. I think they're going to be the.
• 56:40
  West is stacked 1/5. Like as bad as the east is, as
• 56:44
  good as the West is next year I think.
• 56:46
  They're. 5th or 6th? Seed.
• 56:48
  That's where I think the Rockets are now if if Kevin Durant stays
• 56:51
  healthy and he plays is 68 games, I think the Rockets are a
• 56:56
  fourth seed. That's where I think they are.
• 56:58
  But I don't expect Kevin Durant to play 68 games.
• 57:00
  I'll be very surprised if Kevin Durant plays 4850 games.
• 57:04
  And what that tells me is when you're looking at the talent
• 57:06
  that they have around them, unless they're planning to add
• 57:08
  another piece this offseason, I I just don't see it.
• 57:12
  I don't know where Vegas believes that they're an 18 one
• 57:15
  favorite to come out of the West.
• 57:17
  It just doesn't make any sense. So I agree with you.
• 57:20
  They're stacked, the Western stacked and we're going to have
• 57:23
  Mr. Roy coming on and I mean, and, and he's going to I'm sure
• 57:28
  he's going to have his take to it because Tim has been on a
• 57:32
  show before and over the years. He said what, you know, he
• 57:35
  thought the Golden State Warriors are going to be.
• 57:36
  He mentioned that Meyer, I, I think it was like 3 or 4 years
• 57:39
  ago, Speedy, if I'm not mistaken, he said that Meyer was
• 57:42
  thinking about stepping down. Yeah, he did.
• 57:44
  And the first time we. Had him on was in 2020.
• 57:46
  Yeah, and. And he said that once that
• 57:47
  happens, Golden State's going to start to get rid of pieces and,
• 57:52
  and start to rebuild. And they haven't.
• 57:55
  I'm not going to say they have one because they haven't, but
• 57:58
  they've, they've come close, but they haven't gotten over the
• 58:01
  hump since Meyer left when they beat the the Boston Celtics in
• 58:05
  the finals that year. And it's, it's, it's now your
• 58:07
  transition. You're bringing Jimmy buckets.
• 58:09
  You, you still have Steph there. I think if I was the Golden
• 58:12
  State Warriors and I that's something I want to talk about
• 58:14
  with Roy. Do you trade Steph Curry?
• 58:16
  Do you you try to get as much as you can for Steph Curry to
• 58:19
  rebuild? I I think they should they.
• 58:21
  They can't do. It'd be like trading Jet Derek
• 58:23
  Jeter. You can't do that.
• 58:24
  Well, wait a second. If you're a team in an
• 58:26
  organization that might be, I don't know, a team that is more
• 58:32
  than two players away, why would you ride or die with Steph Curry
• 58:36
  that has maybe two or three years left, maybe at best?
• 58:39
  He's but he's not the guy you're training because that skill
• 58:42
  shooting, even if he can't be the one that creates the shots
• 58:45
  later on in his career, he's going to be able to do that for
• 58:47
  a long time, right? He could be his catch and shoot
• 58:50
  guy off the bench for 20 points in like 15 minutes when he's 43.
• 58:54
  If he really wanted to, he's not going to want to.
• 58:56
  I don't think you're not going to wait.
• 58:58
  He's only he's 30, but now he doesn't have to be the main guy
• 59:00
  at that point, but you're not. I think he's still good enough
• 59:03
  to be the main guy for another year maybe too.
• 59:05
  And that that's and we'll see next year because you're right,
• 59:08
  Jimmy Buckets is old also. This is the year that they're
• 59:11
  going to go all in, right guys? Wonder what they do?
• 59:14
  All right, well. You have a caller.
• 59:15
  He's been on, he's been on our network for last year, year and
• 59:18
  a half. Very happy to have him on.
• 59:20
  He is the lead guy for Snowman in the morning.
• 59:25
  Brian Snow, Snowman What's up, buddy?
• 59:28
  What's going on partner? Glad you're safe back from your
• 59:31
  trip and thanks for having me on tonight.
• 59:33
  I appreciate it. Well.
• 59:34
  We love you, you're unbelievable on the radio, you have a great
• 59:37
  personality and always give a great sports takes.
• 59:40
  So what would you like to talk about?
• 59:44
  Who? The hell, said the Houston
• 59:45
  Rockets will be competitive this coming year just because I got
• 59:49
  Kevin Durant? I wonder or as.
• 59:51
  I love to say on my show in the mornings, what in the all types
• 59:55
  of blue hell is that? Blue Hell, Is that where Kevin
• 1:00:00
  Durant lives? Right now he does.
• 1:00:05
  That. That might be one of his Twitter
• 1:00:08
  handles now. Oh.
• 1:00:09
  That's true. Well, seven or eight of them and
• 1:00:11
  maybe 10 of them by the time he's done with the Houston
• 1:00:14
  Rockets. You know, it's interesting Vegas
• 1:00:16
  came out with the the numbers today over the last 24 hours and
• 1:00:20
  they gave him 18 to 1 odds, which is second right now in a
• 1:00:24
  Western Conference. What are your thoughts to that?
• 1:00:29
  Second in the Western Conference, we're talking about
• 1:00:31
  the same Kevin Durant whose best basketball was left in the Bay.
• 1:00:35
  Mind you, his two best years were in the Bay.
• 1:00:38
  And now that he's going to be in his 18th season out of Texas and
• 1:00:44
  playing in Texas and they say they're the second best team.
• 1:00:48
  I repeat a question that you said earlier in the
• 1:00:50
  conversation. Who else on that team frightens
• 1:00:52
  you? Nobody.
• 1:00:55
  Van Fleet, Who else? On that team frightens you, Van
• 1:00:56
  Fleet. Who they, we tried to trade last
• 1:00:59
  year at the trade deadline and nobody really wanted him.
• 1:01:02
  No. And they do, you know, you know,
• 1:01:04
  what they tried to get for Van Vleet.
• 1:01:06
  I'm not even going to say because they're absolutely out
• 1:01:07
  of their minds if they think Van Vleet is worth any of the pieces
• 1:01:11
  they were offering. I mean, does Oklahoma City
• 1:01:18
  really scare you next year? No.
• 1:01:21
  Do the Houston Rockets kind of scare you for next year?
• 1:01:25
  No, not a chance. OK.
• 1:01:27
  I always say on my show, to beat the Champs, you have to unseat
• 1:01:30
  the Champs. Somebody's going to unseat OKC
• 1:01:34
  and unfortunately, in my eyes they're going to be a one hit
• 1:01:37
  wonder. And I have to borrow a phrase of
• 1:01:39
  yours, the LJA for the NBAI got to start using that on my show.
• 1:01:43
  That is a classic. I got to use that.
• 1:01:46
  Brian, you. Are you are the you are the
• 1:01:47
  number one critic of LeBron James for like the last season
• 1:01:51
  you've called the show 6 years ago as.
• 1:01:53
  Long as you have listened to me on the air, which now for seven
• 1:01:57
  years, you know I do not. And it's not being critical of
• 1:02:02
  LeBron alone. I give you this.
• 1:02:05
  Word in kindness. It's these bronze sexuals that
• 1:02:08
  listen me off. The best 1 was like 3 years ago
• 1:02:13
  when I, I, I, I found on your Facebook, you posted something
• 1:02:15
  about LeBron on your Facebook and one of the guys I don't
• 1:02:19
  know, I don't know the guy that he that commented he's like,
• 1:02:21
  where does LeBron rank in your top ten in NBA history?
• 1:02:24
  I'm like, where does LeBron rank in your top 50 in NBA history?
• 1:02:27
  And you said no where. That's where they.
• 1:02:31
  They try to get me every. They try to get me every time
• 1:02:35
  with these LeBron James posts, you know?
• 1:02:38
  Oh, he's top ten. He's top 20.
• 1:02:41
  Are you? Out of your rabbit.
• 1:02:41
  Ass rat picking mind. I can tell you 10 forwards off
• 1:02:45
  the top of my head that played a better fundamentally sound
• 1:02:47
  forward that better that that are better than him.
• 1:02:51
  And I'll give you 2 names that really grate their nerves and I
• 1:02:55
  keep bringing them up just because they grate their nerves.
• 1:02:58
  One is Tom Chambers, the other is Jack Sikma.
• 1:03:02
  I bring those. 2 back man you're.
• 1:03:04
  Going back. I'm going.
• 1:03:06
  I know. Chambers, I don't.
• 1:03:07
  Know the other one I know. Both I know both players and
• 1:03:10
  they were great players, but I'm I'm going to tend to disagree
• 1:03:13
  with you as you know my thoughts to LeBron James.
• 1:03:16
  I think he's the second greatest basketball player of all time.
• 1:03:19
  I just look at numbers and I know people are going to
• 1:03:21
  question numbers because of longevity, but you have to play
• 1:03:25
  and you have to last. And LeBron James has lasted and
• 1:03:28
  he's had the longevity. So I'm not going to take that
• 1:03:29
  away. But again, right, you could
• 1:03:31
  argue, I mean, a lot of people have argued LeBron James stature
• 1:03:34
  and where he states as one of the greatest basketball players
• 1:03:37
  of all time. But go ahead, I'm sorry to cut
• 1:03:39
  you off. You and I are going to be
• 1:03:42
  arguing for the rest of our lives as long as we remain
• 1:03:44
  friends, if we're going to, because this is the subject that
• 1:03:47
  makes us both laugh all the time, OK?
• 1:03:49
  That's why I love that. That's why I love doing it.
• 1:03:52
  That's exactly why I love doing it.
• 1:03:53
  And that's exactly why I love doing the show.
• 1:03:56
  But you're interviewing one of my favorite radio guys and Tim
• 1:03:59
  Roy. I had a chance to meet him in
• 1:04:01
  Chicago. Delightful, delightful person.
• 1:04:03
  I'm mad at you now. Why?
• 1:04:05
  What did I do? You got.
• 1:04:07

• 1:04:58
  Man. I was letting it go.
• 1:05:00
  Brittany was telling me in the room she's like go into the
• 1:05:03
  bathroom. I've never I've never heard so
• 1:05:06
  much so much or not even smelt it just heard so much gas come
• 1:05:10
  out of somebody as much as you. I don't know what was in it, but
• 1:05:13
  there was a lot of salt in the food and it just let.
• 1:05:16
  I was letting it go. It was everywhere.
• 1:05:18
  Was what I had a kid behind me and I was just I tried to
• 1:05:21
  squeeze the cheeks guys. He was like he was like linear
• 1:05:25

  Spoiled 15 year olds in the in the world.
• 1:05:31
  I'm just. I'm just telling you the truth.
• 1:05:33
  The truth is, and it's not, I'm not going to, I'm not going to
• 1:05:36
  beat around the Bush. Well, if I am beating around the
• 1:05:39
  Bush, it's doing something else in the bed.
• 1:05:41
  But nevertheless, I am just telling you that when I was
• 1:05:45
  walking, I was trying to squeeze the cheeks and this kid was
• 1:05:47
  behind me and I just let one go and he heard me by the way, it
• 1:05:50
  was, it was pretty loud. And Brittany just sat there.
• 1:05:53
  Well, she didn't sat. She walked in front of me
• 1:05:55
  laughing and smirking as I was moving through the hallway.
• 1:05:59
  But I unfortunately there is there are cruises that when you
• 1:06:03
  eat food, it makes your stomach not work.
• 1:06:05
  Look at Snowman. I'm sorry.
• 1:06:07

• 1:06:10

• 1:06:13
  By the way, that was Snowman in the morning, go check his show
• 1:06:15

  He really is. He doesn't get enough credit.
• 1:06:27
  He really is funny lay back really clever on his takes as
• 1:06:32
  you heard LeBron sexuals. He is very clever on his
