NBA All Star Weekend Is STILL Bad... · Kenny For Real

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: NBA All Star Weekend was a failure again, but this
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: time for different reasons, and I kind of want to
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: talk about it.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: So I just got home to the Red Eye.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: I was in San Francisco for the last five days,
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: so I got a feel for what the city was like.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Shout out to everybody for the great hospitality. Always love
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: when I'm in San Francisco. But overall, All Star weekend
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: was a failure, and this is really bad from Adam Silver.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: You kind of got to think about it from the
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: perspective of a casual fan. Me and you you watching
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: this video. You're not a casual fan. You're a little
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: bit over that because you're caring about what the hell
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: I gotta say about basketball. But there are a couple big,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: big moments in the NBA season for a casual fan.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: The first one is the season opener. That's why they
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: try to give us banger after banger in that first week.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: This is where you want to grasp the attention of
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: the average NBA fan, the casual NBA fan. Let's start
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: this little rivalry so we know that Boom Celtics versus
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: this team first week is gonna be a hit.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: And then people really dive into football.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: We can't ignore the fact that football really is is
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: king when it comes to TV viewership and so on
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: and so forth.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: But the Super Bowls two weeks ago.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: So now this is where we get the casual fan
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: to lie back into the NBA.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: It's All Star weekend, it's trade out line, it's All
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Star weekend, and this is where you get people to care.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: And over the last couple of years, the All Star
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: weekend have been so bad that I feel like we
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: didn't attach those casual NBA fans back to being casual
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: NBA fans. Imagine your first basketball game with the season BNA.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: These are the fifth to thirty how many also twenty
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: four best players in the world going against each other,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: and you tune into the first game and it scores
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: two oh seven to two oh two.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: Hello to you said two hundred, like, yeah, I love you,
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: a good logo three.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: But when you watch Indianapolis or you watch Utah and
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: that's all that really is, it's kind of concerning for
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: the league. So this year in twenty twenty five, out
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: of Zeel said, no't worry, I got some plans. I'm
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: gonna sit down with Steph Curry it's his city. Were
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: gonna make this thing a little bit different.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Were gonna change up the format because at the end
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: of the day, we needed to be competitive. And then
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: they come up with this idea.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: We got four different teams, three teams of All Stars,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: one teams arriving Stars. And immediately we had people like
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Kevin Urant or Lebron James, two of the biggest names
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: and voices in our NBA world, say nah, this ain't it. Well,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: that's one way to get fans interested. Just the top
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: players that said they're not rocking with it either way.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: I was there.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: I want to give it a chance, because who really knows.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Not only did they break it up to four different teams,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: three All Star teams in one Rise of Stars team,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: they put a total point instead of us going for
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: twelve minutes or twenty minutes, no whoever team, whatever team
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: drops forty first.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Is the winner and they advance in the next round.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Adam Seal, we talked about his legacy.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: His legacy is gonna be a lot of damn tournaments
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: and in their mind, because you gotta think about like this,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: the worst team in the NBA can drop forty points
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: in a single quarter, in real play, so they had
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: to recognize that forty points is not a lot, and
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: in their mind, if we can get seven minutes of
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: the best players in the world actually playing hard to
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: get to that forty minutes, and it might be worth it.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: It really really wasn't. It just really wasn't.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: I feel like the last time I felt really good
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: leaving an arena for an All Star Game was in
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty when it was in Chicago. I feel like
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: there were stakes there. I mean, that was what a
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: month after Kobe had passed, and it was just a
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: moment for or the NBA where everybody wanted to give
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: the best, the best opportunity to the fans. Right, And
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: then we have the e lim ending, we have kyl
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Lauri drawn charges in the All Star Game. We got
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Kima Walker playing like forty minutes of play at least
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: that's what it felt like, and it was almost perfect,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: and they rolled none of that momentum. And over the
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: last five years, the All Star Game has been bad
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: to worse to unwatchable. Like I've had tickets to All Stars,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: it just didn't go because that's how bad it really
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: had been. So the original problem was the lack of
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: effort from our players. How do you get two hundred
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: million dollar players to care about an exhibition game in
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: the middle of February And the reality is you just
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: really can't. And I grew up in the early two thousands,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: and I've seen every All Star game since two thousand
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: and three. I hang when people act like the All
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Star Game used to be like this game seven type atmosphere.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: It never really was, but it always gave us pockets
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: of great defense or pockets of when players really got
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: down to it. Oh, it's six minutes left in this game.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: It's a four point game. Okay, now it's time to
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: play some basketball. And we really hadn't got that since
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty. So Adam Siever comes in shortened amount of games.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Let's figure out if this can get the for level up.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: And I'm gonna give the NBA players a little bit
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: of credit. The effort level from this twenty twenty five
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: was better than twenty twenty four to twenty twenty three,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty two to twenty twenty one. It still wasn't amazing,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: But this time around, I don't think the problem is
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: the fact that the players didn't care the problem was
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: the presentation this time and.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: That feels crazy. Man, that feels so so crazy.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: But somebody did the mad over All Reddit shout out
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: to forget change. Forty two minutes of actual basketball was
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: played in the three hour All Star Game minus breakdown.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: So here it is. The intro with ADS was thirty
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: minutes long. We had ten minutes of pregame talk. We
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: had Game number one twelve total minutes, ten minutes of
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: actual play. Then we get the Mister Beach Challenge and
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about all these things. The Mister Beach Challenge.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: I didn't know that was happening. I guess somebody hit
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: the group chat. It was like, get form the Beast.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: I didn't even see that. They announced that one the
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: game number two was Shocked versus a Rising Stars. That's
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: twelve minutes of total actual basketball play, sixteen minutes total.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: They'll get the music forms. I want to give a
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: shout out. The musical forms were amazing in my personal opinion.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: You get the inside the NBA tribute, and then we
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: get gain number three. And if I'm not mistaken, the
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: tribute happened in the middle of game number three, right,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: wasn't it like eleven to one and then they paused
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: everything and to give the tribute.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: It it was a bit weird. They would get the
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: post game.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: That was six minutes and then twenty two minutes, So
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: we had eighty minutes of ads in these three three
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: hours of All Star weekend and then just thirty minutes
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: forty two minutes of gameplay.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Three hours, three hour.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: Block forty minutes of gameplay is insane because at the
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: end of the day, though this is an entertainment league,
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: the basketball, this thing in a bigger formative, is the
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: reason why people are there.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: So, like the tournament style itself, I had some problems
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: with from the very start. I'm not on some Draymond
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Green stuff. That's a whole nother thing that we're gonna
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: get to. But the tournament style does feel a bit
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: weird when you see like the first game ended up
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: being Chuck versus Kenny.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: Let's go look at that box. It just feels weird. Man,
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: first time All Star here here, here, here, and they.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Get it like six minutes of basketball play and their
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: first time being an All Star.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: That kind of sucks. I won't lie to you. That
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: just kind of sucks.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Now you could say, Kenny, they should have played by
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: to which one hundred percent true. They lost by eight
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: in this game, but for your first time experience being
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: six minutes long of gameplay, it is.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Kind of trash in my opinion.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Shout out to our rise of stars because they gave
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: us a good performance here, making it the least interesting,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: But I would agree it does feel a bit weird
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: to have these rising stars on this level of play
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: versus these legends. No disrespect to these dudes. I'm actually
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: pretty cool with a company zuers on the team. Shout
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: out to my voice to Finecastle, Jay the Wills, and
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: so on and so forth. But I would much rather
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: watch fifteen minutes of Jay Douve versus his real six
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: instead of ten minutes of Stefan Castle ten minutes of
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Daunkin in this game.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: I think the tournament.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Style definitely help with the intensity of these games, for sure,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: but it also felt pretty empty because we didn't get
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: a ton of the all star players that we're accustomed
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: to get. It we think about it, forty points is
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: not a lot, so they have to feel this time,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: and I just I just really did dislike the avenues
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: they went down. Kevin Hart as funny as he is,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: this one felt a bit awkward compared to some of
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: his other spots with the NBA or other spots and
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: other forms of entertainment. It felt like the players weren't
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: really into it, and it just it's weird because Adam
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Silver and in the rest of the league, the people
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: that are in charge, has been really on the players.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: We gotta make it competitive, We gotta take this series.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: You gotta take this series. You gotta take this serious.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: And then you get the most unserious person on earth,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Kevin Hart, to come out there and try to not
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: trash but like, you know, roast the players and roast
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: the commentators and so like, are.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: We taking this serious? Or is this more laid back?
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: Are we taking this serious?
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Or this one big as YouTube video for mister beasts
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Because as a player, you.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: Don't really know. We warmed up, we warmed up, We
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: played three minutes of basketball, then we had to stop
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: for nine Now we back hold you telling me, I
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: gotta take this serious. Come on, man, NBA players even.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Hate when it's a thirty second review in the middle
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: of a basketball game. You trying to tell me we're
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: getting nine minutes where we completely stop and everything. I'm
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: getting cold, which increases my risk of getting injured. Now
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: I'm definitely not going hard because I'm I'm not even
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: ready to hoop no more.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: And I just thought that the like I think about
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: this type of.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Stuff all the time of like where they cut cameras who,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: they cut cameras who at certain times when they're going
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: through the tribute and they're going through these things with
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Kevin Hart and they're cutting to the players. None of
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: these players look like they're having fun on that bench.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: They're just patiently waiting to get back on the court.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: And I feel like, ultimately, that is a huge miss
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: from the NBA. And maybe I feel it's weird to
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: say this as somebody that ultimately benefits from ads. Like
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: my whole job, this whole job is is AD related, right,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: You see me do ad reads all the time. The
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: presentation of it being and this is a turner thing.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: This is a big ESPN thing too. The amount of
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: ads that we get watching this is kind of ununderstandable,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Like I still don't understand how we get this many
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: ads in this type of thing.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: Eighty minutes of ads in a three hour block, almost
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: fifty percent of what we watched when we wanted to
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: see Steph Curry, but we wanted to see Bron. Damn it, Bron.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: What was going on?
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: We want to see Bron. We wanted to see Steph Curry,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Anthony Average. Over there, we got almost half of the
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: programming being ads and then another half of the or
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: a half of that half of the program and being
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: bits that nobody cared about. Not a single person. Again,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: I know, pay them meals. Man, this is not an
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: inexpensive product to create. I understand that, but boy, I
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: just feel like, if you just take some more time
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: for it.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: To be basketball, then we all walk out as winners.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: And I'm trying to find out who has all start
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: now it's not Turner Turning no longer has it. So
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: maybe next year some of these problems that I have
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: with the presentation of stuff is gone. This All Star
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: Game will ladib it the last one hosted by T
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: and t oh Man as NBC takes over.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: Yo, I'm excited about that.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: I'm really excited about NBC taking over because I feel like,
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: and again I grew up with NBC. They had this
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: love of the game. They can't be replicated. Bro and
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: they're already signed and talent and stuff. I don't know
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: exactly what their coverage is going to look like. I
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: don't want to lay the eggs and everything. I had
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: them hatched before. You know what I'm saying. But I'm
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: excited to see what NBC have seen from the last
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: five to ten years and saying, Okay, the fans don't
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: like it, the players don't like it, what can we
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: do to improve it? And oh, that makes me really excited.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: I'm excited for twenty twenty six. And i just made
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: this video what I've been I'm been filmed for some
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: time saying all the things that I've disliked about it. Right,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: and again, I'm not in the minority. The majority of
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: people that watched this product lass night didn't really like it.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: A lot of people, you know what, the dunkn Test
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: was good.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: I don't care what nobody saying.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: Anytime you have people arguing on Twitter about who should
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: have won, makes me think it was a good dunk contest. Yeah,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: like Ajaxai and Bidis Buzzellas gave us eggs, Stefan Castle
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: and Mac McClung. Was a good show and you could
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: argue who deserved to win. That makes me think that
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: it was a good show, you know what I'm saying.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I just made this whole video basically talking
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: about the things that.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: I didn't like.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: But that was after the fact, Like I am somebody
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: that gave it a real chance. I didn't go with
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: it thinking, oh, this is about to be trash, Oh
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: this is about to be not the fact that we
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: had a full weekend of coverage and going into it.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: Though these dudes ended up being right, and their criticisms
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: before it happened. It kills all the momentum in the
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: world when before the games has even started, Draymond is
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: on TV talking about how trash it's about to be. Again,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: I'm not fucking influenced by Draymond Green. You probably aren't
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: either because you're an NBA fan. But again, I'm thinking
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: about my parents, who aren't NBA fans. But like basketball,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: it might tune in to an All Star game here
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: or there. You trying to tell me that our coverage
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: leading up to the game is gonna be one of
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: the people on the broadcast telling you this is about
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: to be trash. That's not that's not good. And then
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: the victory lap and at at like the in between games.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Like I told, I told, I told y'all, you know,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: I think it just overall hurts the It hurts the
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: product altogether.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: To have people out there that won't even give the
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: new structure a chance, even if they're right at the
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: end of it all. I don't think you have to
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: kiss ass. You got to say, oh my god, Adam Silver,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: it's gonna change the gain because I'm I'm definitely not
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: doing that either.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: But it's like, hey, we've done the same structure for
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: forty years, Let's give it a chance to see if
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: this new.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Structure is gonna get people more interested, right, Nah, just.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: Just straight up dogging the product before it started.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: I just I hate that type of coverage, man, And
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: I feel like that's become more and more. It happens
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: more and more in our game, where it's more cynical
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: more than anything. And again, have your criticisms for sure afterwards,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: but I'm always just a guy's like, at least give
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: it a give it a chance. When the dunk contests
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: had teams one of the worst decisions ever. But I
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: remember as when I was younger, being like this could
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: be fun.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: It wasn't. But I feel like you have to have
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: a level.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: Of optimism going into something like I like, before I
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: found out that NBC was taken over, I was gonna
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: come in here and say, like I will me personally,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: I would be okay if we didn't have an All
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: sar wee can now everybody that suggested that, I have
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: to realize how unrealistic it is. The amount of money
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: that is made during All Star Weekend, from the NBA
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: itself to all of its partners, to all of the
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: sneaker brands. Like if you've never been to an All
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: Star Weekend, there's so many integrations. There are so many
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: pop ups, Like the city makes a lot of money,
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: These companies make a lot of money. There's no way
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: in the world the NBA is gonna be like, nah,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: we just gonna take a week off. But I was
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: gonna come in here and say, maybe it's worth it.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: Maybe it's worth it to go back to the drawing board.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: But before Vincecarter did his thing twenty twenty seven years ago,
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: having to have twenty five years ago, there was a.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: Time where the dunk contests didn't exist.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: They just they were like, ah, this is trash, you know,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: and then they took another break too, so like it
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: makes sense to kind of put something in the vault
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: for a little bit, tinker with it before you bring.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: It back out.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: I think it's unrealistic, But now that I'm seeing the
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: NBC a new partner, hasn't, I'm interested to see if
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: they can make things a little bit better again, I'm
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: cautiously optimistic. Is I think that's the approach you should
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: have going to City Side. But shout out to Jaron,
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: the guy that hit the shot for the Mister Beast's
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: YouTube video or video in the You know what I'm
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: trying to say, because that shot I didn't expect to
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: go in. I thought it was really funny the way
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: mister beasts or maybe it was the programming again, maybe
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: it was a programming the way he was talking about
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: Damian Lillard, like they were shooting logo threes, and Damian
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: lill is one of.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: The greatest logo three point shooters of all.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: Time, but he also is human, and I felt like
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: mister Beast was kind of talking about him as if
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: there's no way he could miss three logo threes out
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: of six, like they missed one He's like, Oh, that's surprising,
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: You'll for sure make the next One's like not for.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: Sure, Like though he is one of the greatest shooters
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: of all time. That is a deep shot, and they
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: were not prepared for Dave to miss more than what
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: he did.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: Shout out to again, Jaren, I guess they wrote a
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: story that he wasn't even supposed to be there.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: His dad I bought them tickets last minute to be
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: all the way up top. So great story.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: That's the best thing about the All Star We get
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: the great story for the kid. They get one hundred
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars and he say he's gonnaut away from school
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: and so on and so forth.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: But it was it was goes.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: Into them trying to appease the younger audience as well.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: They had Jesser, one of the basketball YouTube goats here,
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: be a part of the Dan contests, and then mister Beasts,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: a YouTube goat as well, be a part of it
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: as well. So they're just trying new stuff and most
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: of it isn't working, but they're trying stuff.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: All right. I think I ended there.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: Let me know what you think about All Star Weekend
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, And yeah, I'll talk to y'all
