Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Well, guys, here we are last break of the day
- 0:03Speaker 1: on this Tuesday. It's been a good day. Thank you
- 0:05Speaker 1: everyone for listening as always. Steve, Yeah, you want to
- 0:09Speaker 1: take us out.
- 0:10Speaker 2: You know what, my close remarks is going to be
- 0:12Speaker 2: different than I've ever done it before. Okay, I've never
- 0:16Speaker 2: done this. I've never talked about sports in my closing remarks,
- 0:21Speaker 2: but I'm gonna do it today. You know, I haven't
- 0:26Speaker 2: been watching the whole series, but I've seen a lot
- 0:30Speaker 2: of the clips and highlights of the Lakers and Rockets,
- 0:35Speaker 2: and I've watched Lebron James play in a playoff game
- 0:40Speaker 2: with his son Bronnie. I know in the beginning that
- 0:44Speaker 2: people had flat because they thought it was nepotism and
- 0:47Speaker 2: he only in the league cause Lebron and said, Daddy
- 0:51Speaker 2: can say whatever you want to say. I don't care
- 0:52Speaker 2: what you say. The boys qualified to play in the
- 0:56Speaker 2: NBA period got off to a little rough start, you know,
- 0:59Speaker 2: nerve and everything. But that boy, that boy can actually
- 1:02Speaker 2: play ball and him being on the floor, you could
- 1:04Speaker 2: see that he should be on the floor. Now here's
- 1:09Speaker 2: what I want to talk about. Because there's been a
- 1:11Speaker 2: debate going on for a number of years of who's
- 1:15Speaker 2: the greatest basketball player to ever live? And you know,
- 1:21Speaker 2: Lebron has this motion where he sets the crown on
- 1:24Speaker 2: his head, and he has every right to put that
- 1:28Speaker 2: crown on his head right now because he is King
- 1:31Speaker 2: James in this league and he has been King James
- 1:35Speaker 2: in this league since he got into this league. I mean,
- 1:39Speaker 2: and this dude has been playing professional basketball since he
- 1:42Speaker 2: left high school in Akron, Ohio. Now the debate is
- 1:49Speaker 2: who's the greatest basketball player of all time? You know what?
- 1:53Speaker 2: And Lebron has actually said it's him, and he's came
- 1:56Speaker 2: out to justify it. You know, if I were Lebron,
- 1:59Speaker 2: this is what I would do. I would give Michael
- 2:04Speaker 2: Jordan the title of the greatest basketball player to ever
- 2:09Speaker 2: live in my opinion, because I have seen both of
- 2:14Speaker 2: their careers. I saw Michael Jordan's career from the very
- 2:17Speaker 2: beginning and I saw it end. I've seen Lebron's since
- 2:22Speaker 2: the very beginning. And if God let me live, I
- 2:25Speaker 2: will steals. I will see he is in too. So
- 2:30Speaker 2: this is just my opinion, like everybody else has this.
- 2:35Speaker 2: If you take away all of if you use the records,
- 2:38Speaker 2: for example, Lebron can hold his own, with the exception
- 2:42Speaker 2: of them rings. But when I look at the tape,
- 2:48Speaker 2: when I was watching the games, when I was sitting
- 2:50Speaker 2: courtside or whatever it was, Michael Jordan is the greatest
- 2:55Speaker 2: basketball player I've ever seen in my life. I've just
- 2:59Speaker 2: I've never seen anybody play the game like him. So
- 3:03Speaker 2: for me, he's the greatest basketball player. And if I
- 3:06Speaker 2: was Lebron, I let him have that title, because you
- 3:09Speaker 2: know what Lebron got, ain nobody got, and no one
- 3:14Speaker 2: I've ever seen Lebron James says, the greatest athletic career
- 3:20Speaker 2: of any professional athlete, past or present, in any sport period.
- 3:26Speaker 2: No one has put together a run like this man
- 3:30Speaker 2: has put together. No One has played the game at
- 3:34Speaker 2: the level that he has played for as long as
- 3:37Speaker 2: he has played. No one. You can go to soccer,
- 3:41Speaker 2: you can go to cricket, you can go to rugby.
- 3:44Speaker 2: You can go to lacrosse, you can go to baseball,
- 3:46Speaker 2: you can go to basketball, you can go to football.
- 3:49Speaker 2: Quit telling me about Tom Brady, you can quit talkie
- 3:52Speaker 2: run in your mouth about MESSI. You can leave out
- 3:54Speaker 2: Ronaldo Pepe, you can leave out the great Peley. Ain't
- 3:58Speaker 2: nobody played the game at the level that this man,
- 4:05Speaker 2: Lebron James, has played it for as long as he's
- 4:07Speaker 2: played it over his professional career. By none, pastor president.
- 4:12Speaker 2: Don't talk to me about no Babe Ruth, no Ted Williams.
- 4:16Speaker 2: You can say Muhammad al Lee, No One Tiger Woods
- 4:21Speaker 2: has played at the level he's played at in a
- 4:25Speaker 2: professional career for as long as he had. This man
- 4:28Speaker 2: is forty years old, still going up and down the
- 4:30Speaker 2: floor playing defense. He racking it on twenty year olds.
- 4:35Speaker 2: He rocking it. He just going to the paint and
- 4:38Speaker 2: yam just yaming on him and for as long as
- 4:41Speaker 2: he's played and to watch him play with his son
- 4:46Speaker 2: is do you understand we've never seen this before. This
- 4:51Speaker 2: is incredible. And I think that that's just as much,
- 4:57Speaker 2: is if not greater than say, you're the greatest basketball
- 5:01Speaker 2: player of all time. If I was Lebron, I would
- 5:04Speaker 2: I would let Jordan have that. If I was all
- 5:08Speaker 2: y'all the Lebron fans, I would let Jordan have that
- 5:13Speaker 2: because I'm a Jordan and Lebron fan, because I'm from Cleveland.
- 5:17Speaker 2: He gave us the only championship we've ever had in
- 5:20Speaker 2: that city in any sport. My love for that dude
- 5:24Speaker 2: go deeper than what you can ever imagine. I actually cheered.
- 5:28Speaker 2: I had something to cheer about in my whole life,
- 5:31Speaker 2: being a Cleveland boy. So when y'all talking to me
- 5:35Speaker 2: about the debate, I came to put the debate to
- 5:39Speaker 2: rest that there is no debate. Far and away. If
- 5:44Speaker 2: you look at the clips, what Michael Jordan did on film,
- 5:48Speaker 2: for those of you that wasn't old enough to see him,
- 5:50Speaker 2: what he did on film was crazy. This dude right
- 5:56Speaker 2: here was exceptional. I've seen Lebron do some exceptional stuff,
- 6:02Speaker 2: and I've seen Jordan do some exceptional show, but I
- 6:04Speaker 2: ain't seen nobody do it as long and as good.
- 6:06Speaker 2: It's this boy, King James. This boy has put together
- 6:10Speaker 2: the greatest athletic career in professional sports that I've ever seen.
- 6:15Speaker 2: And that's the debate. So we have seen the two
- 6:19Speaker 2: greatest of all time at the same time, and I
- 6:26Speaker 2: saw them both. Congratulations to Michael Jordan and big ups
- 6:29Speaker 2: to King James, because boy, you's a bad man. Those
- 6:32Speaker 2: are my clothes remarks. My whole cloth was bosports. Thank you, brother,
