00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,300
Hello everyone, my name is Landon and this is the Extra Spicy Pod.

2
00:00:06,300 --> 00:00:11,000
Extra spicy because we're having all the extra spicy hot takes baby.

3
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:12,600
This is my friend over here, Evan.

4
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:13,600
Say what's up, Evan.

5
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:17,080
Hello, my name is Evan and today we've got a good list of topics for you.

6
00:00:17,080 --> 00:00:21,400
This is our very first episode so since it is more likely going to be an introduction

7
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:22,400
episode.

8
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:23,400
Alright.

9
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:26,200
So let's get into the first topic.

10
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:29,160
How do we know each other and where are we from?

11
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:30,160
You want to start, man?

12
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:31,600
Yeah, I'll go first.

13
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:38,680
So we're just two, you know, twenty-something year olds from Louisiana hanging out, chilling

14
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:42,120
out, chilling, feeling, chilling and feeling.

15
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:45,120
We're both from Hammond.

16
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:50,320
We met each other in school, elementary school, and we went to high school together and now

17
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:55,880
we go to separate universities but we still hang out, we still chill, go to games together

18
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:57,880
and stuff like that, you know what I mean?

19
00:00:57,880 --> 00:00:58,880
We still have fun.

20
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,280
I always come to BR to come see him.

21
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:09,000
I came to BR today to come see this man film this podcast for you amazing people.

22
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:14,200
So we can get this thing rolling, seeing what this is all about, what we can do, see what

23
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,920
this is all about, you know, just get into it.

24
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,320
Yeah, I mean this is the first time doing anything like this.

25
00:01:20,320 --> 00:01:23,400
We had this idea like a couple weeks ago.

26
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,880
I think we were kind of thinking about before that too.

27
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:29,320
We just were texting back and forth, hey we should start a pod.

28
00:01:29,320 --> 00:01:30,560
Yeah, a couple months later.

29
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:31,800
Hey, we should start a pod.

30
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,800
Yeah, a couple months later, you know what I mean?

31
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:42,520
We got into it whenever we just kept talking about sports and so we were just like, why

32
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,880
don't we just start a podcast?

33
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:49,240
We always talking about sports and then if we want to talk about anything outside of

34
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:54,680
sports, we can do that as well because that's like we have our little diverse things outside

35
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:56,920
of our lives and outside of sports.

36
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:01,960
So that would make this podcast a lot more interesting and we can just determine what

37
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,640
we want to do and what we want to talk about in like future episodes.

38
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:11,840
And if y'all like it, then like we can certainly give a talk about that.

39
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:16,240
Just hit me up if you have me on any social media or whatever about what would you like

40
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:17,240
to see next.

41
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,800
Hit up Lannan if you have Lannan Snapchat ability.

42
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:27,720
I don't know, but we will continue to keep this going on for I don't know how long.

43
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:29,760
We will keep this going for a while.

44
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,160
Yeah, we're going to try.

45
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:36,520
Like my friend Evan over here said, Coast and friend Evan, he said, you know, this podcast

46
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,720
isn't just going to be strictly sports.

47
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:42,680
We're going to delve into other aspects of our lives that we kind of want to touch on,

48
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:46,880
some pop culture moments that we think are significant, some other things we think are

49
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:52,720
pretty cool, pretty chill to talk about, you know, not just NBA NFL, but also some other

50
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,560
shit that we want to just get off our brains.

51
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:56,560
You know what I mean?

52
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,960
We may get into our personal lives sometimes if we really want to.

53
00:02:59,960 --> 00:03:05,840
We may go into, hey, what, what food do we think is the best food in VR?

54
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,840
Like we're going to be getting into so many different topics.

55
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:15,560
I think every single one of you guys are going to end up liking this podcast because of how

56
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,360
unpredictable we are.

57
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,560
The unpredictability is the crazy thing about this.

58
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,960
That's the little extra in the little extra spicy pod.

59
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:25,240
You know what I'm saying?

60
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:30,560
But I think y'all will end up enjoying this podcast.

61
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:34,360
We will try to, we will also try to make this as funny as possible.

62
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,280
I know we are going to clown on each other.

63
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:42,120
I already know that we are going to clown on each other like a motherfucker.

64
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,160
Like he's going to get clowned on.

65
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:46,880
I'm going to get clowned on.

66
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:48,880
That's how it's going to go.

67
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:50,880
You got anything to say, Landon?

68
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:55,560
I mean, I mean, you know, podcasts and we have all these things, mainly sports.

69
00:03:55,560 --> 00:04:01,040
Let's get, let's just get into sports stuff, you know, NBA teams, right Evan?

70
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:05,600
We each have different NBA teams, which are our favorite, which we like a lot.

71
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,600
Mine being the Miami Heat, the best team in the NBA.

72
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,400
Sorry, that's the fucking team on the planet.

73
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,000
Let me explain, let me explain.

74
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,880
The best team of all time, the Miami Heat, right Evan?

75
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:19,520
No, you're a fucking dope.

76
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:25,120
I know I'm not one to talk, but like out of all the teams you say is the greatest team

77
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:30,000
in NBA history, you say the Miami Heat, the fucking wrong.

78
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:31,000
All right, all right, all right.

79
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:35,400
I, I jest, I jest, but the Miami, why did it become a Miami Heat?

80
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:36,520
Because I'm not from Miami.

81
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:37,520
I'm not from Florida.

82
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:43,600
I don't really have many connections to the Miami Marist or Florida, but my first ever

83
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:50,800
NBA team I went to, my hometown team, the New Orleans Pelicans, I went to see the Pelicans

84
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,640
versus Heat and I just fell in love with the Heat from then on.

85
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:58,720
You know, Dwayne Wade was my ride or die.

86
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:03,960
I became a Heat fan this season after LeBron left, so I wasn't in the big three era.

87
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:11,960
I was in there right after that with Dwayne Wade and Josh Richardson and who was Hassan

88
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:12,960
Whiteside.

89
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:19,080
That was my starting era of Heat and then it just grew as Bam came into the league and

90
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:26,520
Tyler came into the league and my guy Jimmy Butler came into the Miami Heat and we're

91
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:31,560
hot right now with Jimmy Butler and then three of the past four Eastern Comics finals, two

92
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:33,760
of the past four finals.

93
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:37,080
We can't, you know, get over the hump and win the finals.

94
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:38,080
That's all right, man.

95
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:39,800
We, we got this thing, bro.

96
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:41,800
It's Heat culture, you know.

97
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,520
In NBA circles, people talk about Heat culture.

98
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:46,520
What is Heat culture?

99
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:53,040
Heat culture is overworking, overperforming, you know, doing all the intangibles.

100
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:54,040
We're going to outwork you.

101
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:59,120
You're going to put in work to beat us because we're not going to just fall over and die.

102
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,320
You know what I mean, Evan?

103
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:06,760
Well, you know what I got to say to that about that, about that Heat culture quote unquote?

104
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:13,400
If y'all were so hard working and everything, then wouldn't have y'all have won a championship

105
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:14,400
by now?

106
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:15,400
All of that.

107
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,960
We're not about to argue about Heat culture because everyone knows about Heat culture.

108
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,200
Oh my gosh, you won a championship for the Prawn and D-Wade.

109
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:29,200
But the team that is actually, I'll give you your credit here, that actually worked their

110
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:30,200
way up.

111
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:35,480
Like, like last year, how the Heat were the number eight seed and they made it all the

112
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:43,240
way to the finals just to get curb stomped by Nicole Jokic and the Denver Nuggets.

113
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:48,080
Like, so, but I mean, I, I, I get what you're saying.

114
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:49,640
Y'all, y'all won championships.

115
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:51,760
I'll give you this.

116
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:56,640
Your team has definitely at least won a championship, but I'm a ride or die.

117
00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:03,200
I am part of the fan base that is called the New Orleans Pelicans, baby.

118
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,040
You want to know why?

119
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:10,440
Because ever since I was a little kid, I went to go see the New Orleans Hornets.

120
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,560
Me, my uncle, and my dad would always go to the games.

121
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:17,800
We'd either be in the roof, we'd either be in the nosebleeds or some, some games we'd

122
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:18,800
go lower bowl.

123
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:26,680
Sometime, whenever I was younger, I saw, I got to see the 09 Celtics with Chris, not

124
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,680
Chris Paul, Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, Rhonda.

125
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,680
I got to saw them.

126
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,360
We lost to them.

127
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,960
I got to see Tom Duncan, Tony, Tony Parker.

128
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,320
I got to see the Spurs.

129
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,680
And then I got to see, who else I get to see?

130
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:45,400
I get to see a young Paul George whenever he's on Indiana.

131
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:46,880
So that was a good experience.

132
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:50,320
Hold up, you're going there just for other players or you're going for their free on

133
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:51,320
team?

134
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:52,320
Come on.

135
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:56,680
No, I'm going for my team because I was supporting the Pelicans.

136
00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:00,520
And at the time we had an amazing chance when we were the Hornets too.

137
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:05,320
We said defense, we say defense, defense, defense.

138
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:10,320
It's a nice little pun.

139
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:16,160
I know y'all don't have, y'all don't know what having fun is like over there, but we

140
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:17,160
had a little puns over there.

141
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:18,160
Hold up, hold up, hold up.

142
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:22,560
We're not going to argue about why teams are better than another.

143
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,200
We just can't introduce our teams.

144
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:28,680
You know, don't say we don't have fun in Miami because come on, nightclubs in Miami, the

145
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,160
nightlife in Miami.

146
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,120
You know we roll in every single night.

147
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,640
Yeah, the clubbing is fire in Miami.

148
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:39,560
I will say that, but the dick riding Miami is fucking massive too.

149
00:08:39,560 --> 00:08:45,480
I can already tell you that just from hearing, oh, we worked so hard.

150
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,400
We worked so hard and get so far.

151
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,080
But we're getting off topic here.

152
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,800
We are getting very much off topic.

153
00:08:53,800 --> 00:09:03,120
So I became a Pelicans fan mostly because they were mostly the underdogs at the time.

154
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:07,440
At the time when the Pelicans were coming up or the Hornets were coming up, people really

155
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,200
didn't have faith in them.

156
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:14,080
You know, we were like a bottom team damn near every year because our only good player

157
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,040
was Chris Paul, David West.

158
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:21,200
Like we only had, we had three all-stars one year, but I mean everyone kept getting hurt.

159
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:26,120
So like it's like this year now, but like we kind of are being smarter with it this

160
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,560
year than past years.

161
00:09:28,560 --> 00:09:35,440
So and I still believe like people still, people are always going to sleep on us.

162
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:42,240
And so I want to be the type of fan even when I'm 90 years old and let's say we win the

163
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:43,240
chip somehow.

164
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:50,280
I don't care if it's Brawny James the third coming to help us win that championship.

165
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:54,600
When we win that championship, I get to be one of those few people to be like, I was

166
00:09:54,600 --> 00:10:03,440
with this franchise since day one before we won anything, before we lost anything.

167
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:10,720
I get to be with that franchise and that means so much to me, to my younger self and just

168
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:14,640
as a person it is, it's dope.

169
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:20,600
So I asked you like what year, around what year did you first get into Pelicans Canada?

170
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,480
Around like 2008, 2009.

171
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:24,920
I was like eight or nine.

172
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:28,240
Like that was like the first time going to a game.

173
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,880
I still got a Trevor Rees of Jersey whenever he played for the Hornets.

174
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,240
That is how much of a fan I am.

175
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,920
I have an old ass Trevor Rees of Jersey.

176
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:40,280
For those who may not know, the New Orleans Pelicans used to be the New Orleans Hornets

177
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,920
back in the day and then they rebranded and changed their name and everything.

178
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:48,280
If people want to do get technical, we used to be the Jazz, then we used to be the Hornets,

179
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:49,280
now we're the Pelicans.

180
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:54,440
That's if you want to get really technical, but not many people actually know that though.

181
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:58,240
So that's a little bit of sports knowledge for you, for the amazing viewers of the Extra

182
00:10:58,240 --> 00:10:59,240
Spicy Pod.

183
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,480
I mean we're not here to argue what team is better.

184
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:07,640
We're just here to say like this is my favorite team and I may have some biases because this

185
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,640
is my favorite team and I may be biased towards this team.

186
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:14,960
At the end of the day we both respect each other, we both respect each other's teams

187
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:15,960
right Evan?

188
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:16,960
We do.

189
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:18,760
I respect, I like Jimmy Butler.

190
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:20,920
I like Jimmy Butler at the end of the day.

191
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:25,040
I mean do I think he does some ho-ass shit to the Pelicans as recently?

192
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:26,040
Yeah.

193
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:29,480
But do I like him as a work ethic kind of guy?

194
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,480
Like his work ethic is phenomenal.

195
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:37,760
Just he does some bitch ass shit on the court though, but I mean that's also me being biased,

196
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:44,240
I can't really say that, but I like Jimmy Butler though.

197
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:49,480
And I like how all y'all actually come together towards the end.

198
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:53,840
Y'all don't do shit in the regular season, but when it's the post-season time y'all

199
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:54,840
come together.

200
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:59,600
Yeah, that's how he called you baby.

201
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:05,680
So since that said something nice about the Heat, what's something nice you guys say about

202
00:12:05,680 --> 00:12:06,900
the Pelicans now?

203
00:12:06,900 --> 00:12:11,560
I mean okay, the New Orleans Pelicans, they're my hometown team because I'm from New Orleans

204
00:12:11,560 --> 00:12:14,960
so I've been at more Pelicans games than the Heat games.

205
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:18,640
You know, say whatever you want about that, but I have.

206
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:22,680
And I've got to know the players a good bit, just seeing them on the court.

207
00:12:22,680 --> 00:12:23,680
I like B.I.

208
00:12:23,680 --> 00:12:24,680
I like C.J.

209
00:12:24,680 --> 00:12:28,440
I think C.J. is my favorite current New Orleans Pelicans player.

210
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:35,320
You know I like Jose Alvarado and Zion, the superstar that he is, the NBA media will say

211
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:40,400
whatever about him, but he does a lot for the community actually and he's a pretty cool

212
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,400
cat, not gonna lie.

213
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:48,320
Those Zion dunks, the Smoothie King Center goes crazy for those.

214
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:54,440
So yeah, those are my current Pelicans players and going to the Pelicans games over the years.

215
00:12:54,440 --> 00:13:01,080
You know, I've become accustomed to the Pelicans fan culture, not that they have any, but if

216
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:05,560
you want to call a fan culture or whatever, but you know, just going to the games, having

217
00:13:05,560 --> 00:13:06,560
a fun.

218
00:13:06,560 --> 00:13:07,880
Yeah, I respect the Pelicans for that.

219
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:11,800
Always a good time at the Smoothie King Center watching those boys play.

220
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:12,800
I mean, not always.

221
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:13,800
Sometimes they get blown out.

222
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:14,800
That's not too fun, right Evan?

223
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:23,240
That is not fun, but I'm gonna tell you a saying before I go into this next topic and

224
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:26,280
it's something that the Pelicans fans will trademark.

225
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:33,360
Just walk around and find out, but okay, so that was my little saying, but we're gonna

226
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,760
go into this next topic here.

227
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:41,040
Who are your favorite players from your organization or franchise from either like currently or

228
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:42,040
past?

229
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:48,760
Right, so when you think about the Miami Heat, they were starting the 80s and obviously I

230
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:53,760
wasn't alive back then to watch the Miami Heat back then, but you got them old cats like

231
00:13:53,760 --> 00:14:00,680
Alonzo Mourning, Tim Hardaway that really transitioned the 90s and then the 2000s.

232
00:14:00,680 --> 00:14:05,840
03, we drafted Dwayne Wade, which is my favorite player of all time.

233
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,120
I fell in love with Dwayne Wade.

234
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:11,640
He's the main reason why I became a Heat fan.

235
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:16,840
Fell in love with Dwayne Wade and then LeBron and Bosch came there and run some championships,

236
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:18,840
so that's gonna be pretty cool.

237
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:20,840
Shaq was on the Heat too, baby.

238
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:24,840
Shaq and Orwaid won them a little championship as well.

239
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:30,240
And then I became a fan the year after LeBron left, so I wasn't really swept up in the LeBron

240
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:31,240
fandom.

241
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:40,760
I was more of the Dwayne Wade, who was it, Hassan Whiteside, Josh Richardson, the early

242
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,840
Josh Richardson days with the Miami Heat.

243
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:51,760
And then I really became like King of Jimmy Butler when he went to the Miami Heat.

244
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:56,400
I was not a big Jimmy Butler fan when he was in the Sixers.

245
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:59,480
I said he was my least favorite player in the league.

246
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:03,720
The funny thing is I was my favorite player in the league with the Miami Heat organization.

247
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:11,200
I think the culture that he brought in the work ethic and him, Tyler Hero, Ben Marabayo,

248
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:15,280
those are the three core guys that are key to my fandom right now.

249
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:21,280
I think they bring a lot to the court, both on and off the court really, to the Miami

250
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:22,720
area.

251
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:27,240
They do a lot for the community and they're funny, man.

252
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,440
That feels pretty funny, come on.

253
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:33,240
So let me give our viewers a little bit of insight.

254
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:37,520
The reason he didn't like Jimmy Butler at first was because he was on the Sixers.

255
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:39,440
He hates anything Philadelphia.

256
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:43,200
Okay, not everything Philadelphia, but most things Philadelphia.

257
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:46,160
I'm just anti-Philly for some reason.

258
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,080
What's one thing you like about Philly?

259
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:53,960
And it better be one thing I'm thinking of right now.

260
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:55,120
You know, that's a good question.

261
00:15:55,120 --> 00:16:00,960
I got to ponder that for a good couple hours before I can think of anything.

262
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:04,960
I feel like the Philly cheesesteaks are good.

263
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:05,960
Nah, bro.

264
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:06,960
Those are overrated, man.

265
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:07,960
Overrated as hell.

266
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:09,960
Oh, you're going to get shit on.

267
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:13,680
If any Philadelphia viewers are listening to this, they're going to shit on you.

268
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:17,240
But if you're a Philadelphia viewer, I don't want you.

269
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:18,240
Get off my pie.

270
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:23,600
I'll take you in, don't worry.

271
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:30,880
So asking that question back to me about my favorite player and all this.

272
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:35,240
Since I was a young little Pelicans fan and I got to witness all these players.

273
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:36,960
Even Lil Evan over here.

274
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:37,960
I like Chris Paul.

275
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:44,840
I mean, I'm going to say I don't want to be like that guy in New Orleans that'll like

276
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:52,160
the Pelicans fan base to be like, oh, I like Chris Paul, Anthony Davis, Zion Williamson.

277
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,160
I do got some people.

278
00:16:54,160 --> 00:17:04,440
If I were to have to say a good bit of people, I'd say I have some underrated ones too.

279
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:06,880
I got so much time.

280
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:08,120
I like the team we have now.

281
00:17:08,120 --> 00:17:09,920
I like everyone on that team.

282
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,200
I don't want anybody to get traded, but whatever.

283
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:13,200
It's inevitable.

284
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:14,200
It's going to happen.

285
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:15,200
Yeah.

286
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,200
I mean, in order to win, we got to be able to do something.

287
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:22,400
I don't blame us, but I do like the team that we have now.

288
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,400
That whole team is amazing.

289
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:29,720
But like pass players, I like Chris Paul.

290
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:41,240
I want to say I liked Anthony Davis, but I liked Anthony Davis, but it was the way he

291
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:42,240
went out for me.

292
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:50,280
If he was just like, hey, I'd like a trade.

293
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:55,680
Thank y'all for giving me all your amazing memories and times and all that.

294
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:57,240
I would have been cool with that.

295
00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:58,240
I would have loved that.

296
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,360
I would have just been happy with that because he's trying to win.

297
00:18:01,360 --> 00:18:02,960
I don't blame him.

298
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:08,720
But when you go around the city of New Orleans wearing it, that's all folks.

299
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:15,200
That kind of triggers me a good bit because it's like, we gave you the love that no one

300
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:16,880
else gave you in the beginning.

301
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:17,880
I get it.

302
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:21,040
You were a number one recruit coming out of Kentucky.

303
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:24,880
You were the number one draft pick, but we still developed you.

304
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:30,400
We still gave you the love that no other organization is going to give you.

305
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,160
Look at the Lakers fans now.

306
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:34,920
They treat him like shit.

307
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:41,160
They want him one ring and they started treating him like shit.

308
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:46,120
In the context of that, every Lakers fan being like, oh man, we need a trade.

309
00:18:46,120 --> 00:18:48,120
He getting hurt and all this.

310
00:18:48,120 --> 00:18:50,880
Whatever, he'd get hurt over here.

311
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:54,080
Hey, it just happens.

312
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:55,080
We understand.

313
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:56,080
Y'all are professional sports.

314
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,600
Y'all put your bodies on the line.

315
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:08,440
So that's why I understand all the shit that's going on.

316
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:13,000
But that's why I'm not a big AD fan anymore.

317
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:17,040
When he was on the Pelicans, I loved the way he played.

318
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:22,720
He was dominating literally the game against the heat.

319
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:27,440
It was where they were wearing, this was the old vice city jerseys, the white ones too.

320
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:29,760
Those are nice.

321
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:33,080
He dropped like 47 and like 15, I think.

322
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:38,840
I don't remember the stat exactly, but he dropped a good bit and he would just post

323
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:39,840
it up doing everything.

324
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:40,840
That was the team with Drew Holiday.

325
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:41,840
That's another player I like too.

326
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:42,840
Drew Holiday is, I met Drew Holiday.

327
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:43,840
Drew Holiday, nice.

328
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:44,840
He a good ass dude, good to the community.

329
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:45,840
He's good at everything.

330
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:46,840
He's a good guy.

331
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:47,840
He's a good guy.

332
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:48,840
He's a good guy.

333
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:49,840
He's a good guy.

334
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:50,840
He's a good guy.

335
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:51,840
He's a good guy.

336
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:52,840
He's good to everyone.

337
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:53,840
He's in the Celtics, went in lots of games.

338
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:54,840
I hope he gets himself another ring.

339
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:55,840
I legit do.

340
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:56,840
That Bugsring, I was happy for him when he got that Bugsring.

341
00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:11,840
Now that's a player that I was happy to see win because he didn't ask for a trade.

342
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:12,840
We traded him.

343
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:17,760
But I mean, I heard that he was asking for a trade, which I mean, he didn't do no extracurricular

344
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:18,760
bullshit like the left.

345
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:19,760
That's all folks.

346
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:24,520
So that's why I was happy, genuinely happy for him.

347
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:29,720
And then he still played the city of New Orleans after he won that ring.

348
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,280
Like he got on the little television.

349
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:36,920
He was like, this all wouldn't have been possible if New Orleans hadn't traded me.

350
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:40,560
So that made me feel good.

351
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:45,480
Another player I liked under the radar, Peja Stojakovic.

352
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,320
That motherfucker laid it up from three.

353
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:49,520
And I liked it.

354
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:51,760
But I wasn't around for that though.

355
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:57,320
I saw him go back, watch old film, do all this.

356
00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:58,320
I like Peja.

357
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,480
Peja is cool.

358
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,640
But I liked Chris Paul because you know, it's Chris Paul.

359
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:05,960
Who wouldn't like Chris Paul?

360
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:06,960
Used to like AD.

361
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:07,960
Kind of.

362
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:08,960
AD is like in.

363
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:10,960
I liked the Curry Pelicans team.

364
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:15,920
So Zion, I liked CJ, I liked Brandon Ingram, I liked.

365
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,440
And then Peja Stojakovic.

366
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,760
And all that team.

367
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:21,760
That I generally liked.

368
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:22,760
All right.

369
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,360
I've got a question for you now.

370
00:21:25,360 --> 00:21:27,360
So how about coaches?

371
00:21:27,360 --> 00:21:28,720
Because we discussed players.

372
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:29,720
How about coaches?

373
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:30,720
Past and former.

374
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:37,320
What are your favorite coaches in your organization history?

375
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,640
Alvin Gentry was a good coach.

376
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:40,640
Before you're like, Evan.

377
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:41,640
No the fuck he was not.

378
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:42,640
Let me explain.

379
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:50,480
He was a good coach because if Marcus Cousins was healthy, like AD said, if Marcus Cousins

380
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:57,320
was healthy that season with the little Achilles injury, we would have even gone to state.

381
00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,560
Because AD said it's true.

382
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:05,760
The mismatches for going to state would have been terrible compared to going to state.

383
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:10,640
I mean yeah, we would have gotten fucked up on guard play because Drew Holliday has got

384
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:18,520
to guard step and then I think Tim Frazier or somebody else had to guard like play.

385
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:22,480
But the bigs though, they would have gotten messed up with the bigs.

386
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:31,160
But Alvin Gentry made it to where, okay, whenever we had AD and Marcus Cousins, he would have

387
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:35,200
one of them in the paint, but one of them on the outside of the paint.

388
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,840
So that way they wouldn't clog up the paint if you know what I'm saying.

389
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:43,000
You even make it like a skyscraper type of defense if you know what I'm saying.

390
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:46,280
So that is why I like Alvin Gentry.

391
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:47,960
I like Willie Green too.

392
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:49,840
Willie Green is cool.

393
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:54,800
But the thing about Willie Green is he doesn't know when to play guys.

394
00:22:54,800 --> 00:23:01,480
Like that Pacers game, not the one where we won, the Pacers game a couple days ago where

395
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:03,080
we lost.

396
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:04,080
We were catching key.

397
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:08,880
It's just we got to, he has to know the right adjustments.

398
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:15,680
You take out Jonas Malan to this nine and serves cooking and he just put Zion at the

399
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:16,680
center.

400
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:22,040
So I'm just like, okay, does he even know what he's doing as in like rotations and everything?

401
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:25,880
So that's the questionable part about Willie Green.

402
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:31,520
In my heart, I'm kind of scared if I give Willie Green another season.

403
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:37,480
But at the same time though, personally though, I think he's a better young coach too.

404
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:40,480
He gives them everything they need as a younger coach.

405
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:47,280
So I already know what, what, what two, what one of the two coaches are you going to say?

406
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:48,280
Okay.

407
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:51,840
First of all, you've got to give Pat Riley the highest credit of all time.

408
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:52,840
He's the Godfather.

409
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:54,000
He's the GOAT.

410
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,320
Pat Riley is the best coach.

411
00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:00,520
Like one of the top three coaches ever, I think.

412
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:07,480
And what he did with Miami, he's in the front office now, but he won that 06 championship

413
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,240
with Shaq and Dwayne Wade.

414
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,640
He took over for Van Gundy or whatever.

415
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,860
And Van Gundy was a good coach, but Shaq didn't like him.

416
00:24:16,860 --> 00:24:19,560
So he had to go.

417
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:23,960
Pat came in and I mean, come on, Pat's so good now.

418
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:28,680
He won championships to the Lakers before then as well.

419
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:34,160
But what he's done with this heat organization since he came in, he's turned it into a top

420
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,040
tier organization.

421
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:41,800
And then come on, he has Spell, Eric Spell, Coach Spell is amazing.

422
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:45,600
He is top two coach in the NBA right now.

423
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:47,840
Arguably one or two, but I would argue one.

424
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:51,400
I know some people might argue lower, but I would argue one.

425
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:57,920
He's took this team to the finals twice now in the past four seasons with not much top

426
00:24:57,920 --> 00:24:59,200
tier talent.

427
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:06,480
He consistently takes guys who are undrafted, lower drafted guys and makes them household

428
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,960
names that they go to the finals with.

429
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:13,000
Duncan Robinson, undrafted guy, household name now.

430
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:17,880
You know, you got Kayla Martin, you go Kendrick Nunn a few years ago.

431
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,800
You can get Gabe Vinson in there.

432
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:28,160
I mean, just the way he coaches these guys, he turns these people who many people think

433
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:33,200
aren't going to do anything in the NBA and they're one of the top players on one of the

434
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:38,040
top teams in the NBA, consistently making it back to the conference finals.

435
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,280
You got her to give him the credit, right Evan?

436
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:47,720
I would give Pat Riley his credit because if you have HBO Max, there's a show called

437
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:54,600
Winning Time and all the current players don't like it because they say it's not the actual

438
00:25:54,600 --> 00:26:00,680
depiction, but some people say it's a pretty close depiction.

439
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:02,280
Pat Riley's in there.

440
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:11,320
It was whenever Jerry West was first the coach, but then he was like, I'm not coaching this

441
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:14,920
team because they drafted Magic Johnson.

442
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:21,720
So they got some dude out of college.

443
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:24,840
He got hurt or something.

444
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:25,840
I don't know how to explain it.

445
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:31,200
I don't know how to explain the whole coaching order, but it ended up with Pat Riley having

446
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:34,680
to coach, you know, Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

447
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:37,680
And it was a good show.

448
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:39,640
It still is a good show.

449
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,880
I will give Pat that he is top three.

450
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:48,040
I would not give him two or one because we already know who number one is and number

451
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:49,400
two.

452
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:54,400
We got Phil Jackson number one.

453
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:56,400
You got to give Phil Jackson number one.

454
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:59,320
And then number two, you got to give Greg Popovich.

455
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:04,440
You got an all time winning coach right there.

456
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:05,440
How about Spoh now?

457
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:06,440
How about Coach Spoh?

458
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,440
Currently, I'll give Coach Spoh.

459
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:17,760
See, the thing about the coaches nowadays though, is that there's not really a top like

460
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:22,760
whatever coach currently because think about it, you got currently new coaches now.

461
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:25,400
So I'll give Coach Spoh.

462
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:31,760
He's like number one, number two, but that's awesome because look at what they got.

463
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:32,760
Okay.

464
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:38,040
If you want to give Steve Kerr his credit, I guess, but I'm going to make the argument

465
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:46,600
of we'll look at the lineup he had when you had KD, Draymond, Seth Clay, all that.

466
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:52,280
He makes some good adjustments at the time, but the warriors this season with how they

467
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:59,560
actually have to play, it just shows more and more of what Steve Kerr has to do.

468
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:07,960
Now I give Coach Spoh his credit because like I said earlier in the pod, they were the best

469
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:08,960
player in the AC.

470
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:13,160
They had to go through the playing tournament, made it all the way to the finals, but I mean

471
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:15,480
y'all couldn't do nothing with Jokic anyway.

472
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:19,720
I mean I don't blame y'all because like it's hard beating Jokic.

473
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:26,040
So that's a very tough road to beat.

474
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:32,040
And I do think that Spoh is like one or two.

475
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:38,880
I'm going to actually put Poppet number one, even though he has nothing to work with except

476
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:43,240
for Wimby.

477
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:51,960
Spoh number two, either Spoh number two or I'm going to put the Boston coach, Joe Muzalato

478
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:54,960
or whatever his last name is.

479
00:28:54,960 --> 00:29:01,960
I can't pronounce that name, but Joe or whatever his name is, I put him at number three.

480
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,520
That's my current listing right now.

481
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:09,040
But that's also like I said, that's also because every coach is currently young.

482
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:12,760
Like I'm not going to put Nick Nurse over Spoh.

483
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:17,640
You could be like, I could be like, oh, but Nick Nurse has a ring, but like I mean so

484
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:18,640
with Spoh probably.

485
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:19,640
Does he have a ring?

486
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:20,640
He has three, yeah.

487
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:21,640
He has three.

488
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:22,640
Okay, just making sure.

489
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:23,640
I did two.

490
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,640
Yeah, he won two as a head coach.

491
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:28,360
Yeah, just making sure.

492
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:34,160
I'm not going to put Nick Nurse be like, oh, but Nick Nurse had to deal with this.

493
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:37,360
He had to deal with the Warriors.

494
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:39,760
He wanted to ring with Kawhi and all that.

495
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:44,360
That Warriors team, they didn't have KD now.

496
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:45,360
They didn't have KD.

497
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,880
They lost to Marcus Cousins.

498
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:54,640
They lost play too, but I just think that lowered the playing field a little bit because

499
00:29:54,640 --> 00:30:00,800
I mean you couldn't really do anything about Kawhi, but the rest of that was just guard

500
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:01,800
play at that point.

501
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:06,800
So not much you could say about that.

502
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:07,800
All right, all right.

503
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:12,640
Well, I'm glad you could give Coach Spoh his flowers because I was totally expecting you

504
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:14,760
to be like, no, he's a garbage coach.

505
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:19,560
He's like bottom half of the league, bottom five, just because you're hating on the heat,

506
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:21,480
hating on my team, you know what I mean?

507
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:28,440
But the thing about that though is like if you were keeping up with the NBA currently,

508
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:32,360
you can see like the competition's gotten better.

509
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:40,120
The one coach that I would say is a damn good coach, but just couldn't get the job done

510
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:41,120
is Monty Williams.

511
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:49,240
Even though he's on Detroit right now and I can't blame Monty Williams because if they

512
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:53,920
do fire Monty Williams, that's not a him thing.

513
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:57,160
Yeah, that's a whole other topic to delve into.

514
00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:58,160
That's the Detroit thing.

515
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:03,160
If y'all kept killing Hayes for three years, that's a y'all problem.

516
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:13,320
That's a Detroit business problem, but that's a subject for another time.

517
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:18,200
All right, so Evan, I have to ask, who is the best team in the NBA?

518
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,760
I think it's the Boston Celtics by far.

519
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:22,320
They have by far the most wins.

520
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:25,840
They have the best home record in the league.

521
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:27,520
It's got to be the Boston Celtics.

522
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:29,200
Say whatever you want about the Celtics.

523
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:34,560
Come play off team time because I think Miami here going to beat them, but that's another

524
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:35,560
story.

525
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:39,320
But this regular season, the Boston Celtics have been kicking some ass.

526
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:40,320
Come on, Evan.

527
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:45,120
So I'm going to deep dive into both conferences real quick.

528
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:47,680
I think Boston's number one in the east, of course.

529
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:49,160
It's like an obvious pick.

530
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:51,800
Boston is a good pick.

531
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:59,400
I feel like if you get the right pieces for Boston, or depending on a certain team, it

532
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:00,400
depends on the team.

533
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:07,160
I feel like New York has a little bit of games that could beat them, but not beating them

534
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:08,160
in their seven game series.

535
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:11,160
That'd just be me on some type of dope right now.

536
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:12,360
Yeah, let's go through it.

537
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:16,800
So who do we think the Celtics could lose to in a seven game series?

538
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:17,800
Were they losing to the Cavs?

539
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:19,720
I think they could lose to the Cavs, yes.

540
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:21,640
You think they could lose to the Cavs, really?

541
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:22,640
I don't think the Cavs could.

542
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:25,280
I will tell you why the Cavs.

543
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:35,840
The Cavs got so much depth in their roster that that's the key factor in all these teams

544
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:41,360
is that if you have a good bench, you're winning games for sure.

545
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:42,920
Yeah, I can see that.

546
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:46,720
What about the Knicks you just went over?

547
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:51,400
See the Knicks are tough, but the thing about the Knicks is though, is that they got to

548
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:52,400
stay healthy.

549
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:56,560
If Julius Randall comes back healthy, Mitchell Robinson comes back healthy, all these key

550
00:32:56,560 --> 00:33:02,280
players that come back healthy, then we could see, who knows, maybe because the matches

551
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:03,280
are going to be there.

552
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:07,600
You're going to have your holiday on Daniel Brunson, you're going to have Julius Randall

553
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:11,640
on who's the power forward for the Celtics.

554
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:13,440
I don't know what.

555
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:14,440
Perseus?

556
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:15,440
No, he's place center.

557
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:16,440
What?

558
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:17,440
I'll go for probably.

559
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:18,440
Yeah, I'll go for it.

560
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:19,440
Yeah, I'll go for it.

561
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:26,160
But the matches are going to be there and you're going to have nobody for Jason Tatum,

562
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:27,920
so that's going to be a good series to watch.

563
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:28,920
It depends on what they say.

564
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:29,920
Healthy though.

565
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:34,240
I feel like the Knicks will play the South just close, but I don't see them winning against

566
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:35,240
the South.

567
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:36,240
I don't see them winning against the South.

568
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:37,240
What about the Sixers?

569
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:38,240
The Sixers?

570
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:44,560
Nah, the Sixers will not get to the conference finals.

571
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:50,560
Playoff choker Joel Labide out there at the 76ers making a fool out of himself every playoff

572
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:51,560
round.

573
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:52,560
Come on now.

574
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:55,480
I will give the Sixers their credit.

575
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:57,960
They have been winning games without a lead though.

576
00:33:57,960 --> 00:33:59,960
I will give them their credit.

577
00:33:59,960 --> 00:34:04,160
They lost to the Boston Stubblets last year in the playoffs when the Celtics were a worse

578
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:05,160
team.

579
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:06,160
Now they're a better team.

580
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:07,160
You think they're going to win it?

581
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:10,160
The thing is with this, I don't think they're going to win it.

582
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:16,440
I'm just giving them croft croft because they lose their best player and they beat.

583
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:19,040
They're still like the number 5th seed.

584
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:20,040
They're still up there.

585
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:28,080
So to keep yourself from out of playing contention to beat at the number 5th seed, that's still

586
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:29,080
impressive.

587
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:31,880
Not to do anything in the playoffs they need them beat.

588
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,800
They're not going to do anything without them beat, right?

589
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:38,600
But the thing is though, the organizations can just look at that at the end of the day

590
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:42,760
and be like, okay, what do we need to do to win?

591
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:44,640
We make the playoffs.

592
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:50,520
What do we need to do to boost us out of the first round, the second round, whatever?

593
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:55,880
What do you think Boston did after y'all beat them in the conference finals?

594
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:57,440
They went and got Prisingas.

595
00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:59,440
They went and got Joe Holliday.

596
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:00,440
Exactly.

597
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:04,200
So that way whenever let's just say y'all magically do end up facing them again in the

598
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:08,720
conference finals, somehow they're going to be like, okay, we're ready for this.

599
00:35:08,720 --> 00:35:10,720
BAM got nothing on KP.

600
00:35:10,720 --> 00:35:14,160
Drew Holliday going to lock up some stuff.

601
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:17,160
It's a different ballgame.

602
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:23,760
But I won't give Philly the credit that they do manage to stay in the playoff rankings.

603
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:27,640
Now I do think Boston is number one though.

604
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:30,040
Boston always reigns supreme.

605
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:34,320
Now as in like who could possibly beat them in the play-in tournament?

606
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:35,640
Wait, what about the Bucs now?

607
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:38,600
You think the Bucs will beat the Celtics in the semigame series?

608
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:41,000
I think the Bucs are too wishy washy.

609
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:42,000
They're head coach.

610
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:43,000
Let's laugh at that.

611
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:44,000
River's a little vague.

612
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:45,000
Come on.

613
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:48,320
We're going to talk about that later on.

614
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:55,080
But I do think Doc's not a good coach.

615
00:35:55,080 --> 00:36:00,280
The only reason he's got that one ring is because of the super team of Paul Pierce,

616
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:04,000
Kevin Garnett, Rondo, Ray Allen, you know, all of them.

617
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:06,160
That's what I personally think.

618
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:13,000
I do think there's some circumstances though that he, from his past teams, that he shouldn't

619
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:14,320
have gotten fired for.

620
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,680
But oh well, this is a business.

621
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:19,880
You got to be a bitch at it well.

622
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:27,160
But I don't think Milwaukee can pull it off because everyone's got to be consistent.

623
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:30,720
Yeah, Damon Giannis, they haven't looked like the best fit for some reason.

624
00:36:30,720 --> 00:36:35,360
Something's not jelly between the coaches and the Damon Giannis.

625
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:40,840
They've got to get better at their, you know, the pick and roll game with Damon Giannis.

626
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:43,560
They're not at that upper echelon level right now.

627
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:48,480
See to me, the thing about the Bucs though is that I feel like it's become more Giannis's

628
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:53,480
team, like how LA is like that with LeBron, I feel like it's more Giannis now.

629
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:54,480
Of course, of course.

630
00:36:54,480 --> 00:37:00,000
Because, nah, because I feel like it's more, okay, since you won us this chip now, you

631
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:02,000
can kind of do what you want.

632
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:03,000
You know what I'm saying?

633
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:04,000
Yeah.

634
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,280
You brought us over here for a chip.

635
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:10,000
You can have say so, do whatever you want.

636
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:16,120
That's what I personally think that people are, or that the Milwaukee Bucs are doing.

637
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:17,840
All right, all right, come on.

638
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:19,800
Miami Heat, you know I had to go there.

639
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:24,440
Three out of the past four years, we faced each other in the conference finals.

640
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:27,640
We won twice, Boston won once.

641
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:30,080
Seven game series, two years in a row now.

642
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:31,080
Like what you thinking Evan?

643
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:32,080
What you thinking?

644
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:36,920
If the playoffs ended today, y'all would face the 76ers.

645
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:38,120
Which we're beating.

646
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:44,920
But if that, but let's just say that's if they, I'd have y'all beating them if the playoffs

647
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:45,920
ended today.

648
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:51,040
But if let's just say the actual playoff time comes, okay?

649
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:53,880
And they get Joelle and B back.

650
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:54,880
That's going to be a tough game.

651
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:57,200
We beat B in the playoffs before.

652
00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:58,200
Come on man.

653
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:00,880
It's going to be a tougher game.

654
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:03,840
I feel like B's going to come back with vengeance.

655
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:07,760
He's going to prove why he got that first MVP.

656
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:13,480
I think this time, y'all beat Boston first round.

657
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:17,040
But I feel like y'all losing the second round though.

658
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:23,360
Like y'all do good, but when it, like y'all going to beat y'all's first team.

659
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:24,360
I'm going to give y'all that.

660
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:27,680
Jimmy's going to ball out, Jimmy's going to do whatever.

661
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:32,880
But that second team y'all face, there are going to be some hungry dogs now.

662
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:36,680
So you predict us making the second round, but not the conference finals?

663
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:37,680
Not the conference finals.

664
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:38,680
All right, all right.

665
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:43,760
Who do you think is the Eastern Conference Finals team to the East?

666
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:46,160
I mean, my pick is going to be South X Heap.

667
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:47,800
Round three, three straight seasons.

668
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:49,480
I think that's going to be how it is.

669
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:51,080
So that's my dream matchup actually.

670
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:53,120
I think that would be so cool.

671
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:54,120
Go ahead, go ahead.

672
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:59,520
So looking at this, okay?

673
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:03,100
Looking at this little standings right now, it's the playoffs of the day.

674
00:39:03,100 --> 00:39:06,280
Who would have the easier path?

675
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:10,800
So Cleveland would have to face Indiana.

676
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:12,960
I like Tyrese Halliburton.

677
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:17,440
I like Tyrese Halliburton as a player.

678
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:20,440
I don't like many players from different teams.

679
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:21,440
Tyrese is one of them.

680
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:24,440
I just want him to go off and play.

681
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:29,000
He's a good point guard for that team.

682
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:30,000
Who knows?

683
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:34,360
Indiana may upset Cleveland because of the star power they have on Cleveland.

684
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:37,240
Hold up, we don't know how this thing is going to finish off.

685
00:39:37,240 --> 00:39:38,240
So who's just the better team?

686
00:39:38,240 --> 00:39:43,360
That's what I'm just saying, if they were to end the day.

687
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:51,720
But in this scenario, all star power, I got Cleveland.

688
00:39:51,720 --> 00:39:55,400
Milwaukee, I think Milwaukee should be lower.

689
00:39:55,400 --> 00:40:00,640
I don't know how they're winning games, but I think they should be lower.

690
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:04,560
The Orlando Magic can sneak their way in there somehow.

691
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:05,840
I don't know how they're going to win the games.

692
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:08,120
I need to watch the Orlando Magic film.

693
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:10,080
I like the little theme song too.

694
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:11,080
Orlando Magic.

695
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:14,080
It's not be cringe now.

696
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:15,080
Orlando Magic.

697
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:16,080
Orlando Magic.

698
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:17,080
Orlando Magic.

699
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:22,080
But Magic can sneak their way in there.

700
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:24,360
I feel like Philly is going to fall at some point.

701
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:26,560
I feel like they're going to have a tough set of pro games.

702
00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:31,640
We're scheduled up ahead and they're just going to shit down to the playing.

703
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:33,120
New York's going to stay in there no matter what.

704
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:37,200
They're going to stay in their little comfy little spot.

705
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:39,280
And that's what I believe for the East.

706
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:40,280
For the West?

707
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:43,880
Hope, so what's your official comments on this matchup then?

708
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:47,640
Oh, my bad.

709
00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:50,120
I feel like it's going to be Boston.

710
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:52,280
I feel like Cleveland's going to get upset.

711
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:53,280
So I don't know how.

712
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:56,480
I mean, they lost to New York last season.

713
00:40:56,480 --> 00:41:04,920
So I think it's going to be Boston and somehow, some way, Doc Rivers is going to get to the

714
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:05,920
conference finals.

715
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:06,920
Oh, yeah.

716
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:07,920
In blood with three-one lead in the conference finals.

717
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:08,920
That's how it's going to be.

718
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:09,920
Yes, sir.

719
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:10,920
Yes, sir.

720
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:11,920
Yes, sir.

721
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:14,920
So now for the Western Conference.

722
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:15,920
And serve the Western Conference.

723
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:18,920
Who do you think is going to win for the Western Conference?

724
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:19,920
Ooh, OK.

725
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:23,360
For me, it goes Denver Nuggets, number one.

726
00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:26,520
And that's just because they proved that they can do it last year.

727
00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:27,520
They won the championship.

728
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:32,880
The teams on top of them, Minnesota, Elk Grove City, they haven't proven anything.

729
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:37,320
Yeah, they played great regular seasons, but they really haven't proven anything come playoff

730
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:38,320
time.

731
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:41,720
And you need that to be in serious contention.

732
00:41:41,720 --> 00:41:46,320
And look in people's eyes, who's going to win the championship?

733
00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:50,660
You know, they're not going to take a team seriously who hasn't been there before.

734
00:41:50,660 --> 00:41:54,480
So in my eyes, the Denver Nuggets, obviously number one.

735
00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:58,400
I think Sneaky Pick, the Clippers, are going to be up there as well.

736
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:03,960
I think James Harden and Kawhi and Paul George really gel together really well.

737
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:09,000
I think the pairings started off kind of rocky, but since then, they've been a really good

738
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:10,000
team.

739
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:12,800
I think Phoenix is either way.

740
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:15,800
I think they're going to do really good or they're going to fall off a cliff.

741
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:17,440
I don't think there's any in between.

742
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:20,640
They're just going to do great or terrible.

743
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:25,080
You know, with KD and I don't even know Bradley Buehl keeps getting injured.

744
00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:27,620
I mean, I don't even know how that's going to go.

745
00:42:27,620 --> 00:42:33,160
But with KD and Booker, you got two superstars out there that they can propel that team to

746
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:34,920
great things.

747
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:43,300
So I think Dallas, Luca and Kyrie, but they don't really have that much around them to

748
00:42:43,300 --> 00:42:46,240
really do well in the playoffs.

749
00:42:46,240 --> 00:42:48,480
I don't think Sacramento is going to do amazing.

750
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:50,880
I think they're going to flame out.

751
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:53,600
I think the Warriors and Lakers aren't serious contenders.

752
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:55,000
I think they're pretenders.

753
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:56,000
Come on, dog.

754
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:59,680
Notice I left out the Pelicans up there in the stands as well.

755
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:02,640
The Pelicans are, they're an unknown to me.

756
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:04,240
I really don't know how it's going to go.

757
00:43:04,240 --> 00:43:06,160
I think it can go one or two ways.

758
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:13,920
They can play really well with CJ, BI, Zion, but then they can also play really bad, just

759
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:17,440
look like complete horse shit and be terrible.

760
00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:21,480
It's a question mark to me, dog, that I'm doing with the Pelicans.

761
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:28,160
I think my conference finals prediction as of right now is the Denver Nuggets and the

762
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:29,160
Los Angeles Clippers.

763
00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:34,840
You know, if the Clippers win that championship moving into the new arena, they're going to

764
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:39,560
win a lot of fans over in LA because they're going to be the most recent champion.

765
00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:42,040
They're going to have their own really cool arena.

766
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:44,400
Dog, that arena looks pretty cool.

767
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:45,400
Come on, man.

768
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:48,200
The wall, the giant wall.

769
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:51,240
I want to go to that Clipper game just to sit on the wall.

770
00:43:51,240 --> 00:43:53,760
But I heard you got to be a Clipper fan.

771
00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:55,480
Yeah, you got to be a Clipper fan.

772
00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:56,600
That's what I don't like about that.

773
00:43:56,600 --> 00:44:02,080
You can't wear any opposing team jersey, but I mean, that's a dumb rule though, because

774
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:03,080
a fan is a fan.

775
00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:06,760
I don't think the NBA going to let that stick, but I don't know how they're going to force

776
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:09,120
that to be honest.

777
00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:12,800
The Clippers though, moving into a new arena, if they win the championship, that's going

778
00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:15,320
to be huge for their fandom.

779
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:19,240
So, Western Conference, Nuggets, Clippers, I say.

780
00:44:19,240 --> 00:44:21,200
What do you think, Evan?

781
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:24,360
I think Minnesota's full of frauds.

782
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:25,440
Knock out Minnesota.

783
00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:27,560
You know that's for, yeah, Kat, Levi.

784
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:29,680
I like Anthony Edwards a lot.

785
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:36,600
I just think the big play, like, Carl Y. Dean, Tabs, Rudy Gobert, one of them, they cut me.

786
00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:37,600
You know that's right.

787
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:40,600
So, Kat's soft, Rudy Gobert is soft.

788
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:41,600
Come on.

789
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:45,600
The thing I like about the West, no one is safe.

790
00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:49,720
Everyone's on top of each other this year, and I like it.

791
00:44:49,720 --> 00:44:53,640
As a Pelicans fan, I hate it.

792
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:55,760
As a basketball fan, I love it.

793
00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:58,000
West is very competitive this year, especially.

794
00:44:58,000 --> 00:44:59,200
It's really exciting.

795
00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:05,160
The West playoffs are going to be a bloodbath, and great to watch as a fan.

796
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:09,520
See, I want to say this though.

797
00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:14,760
For this current matchup, I'm going to say OKC and the Clippers.

798
00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:21,160
I think Denver is not as strong as they were last year.

799
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:27,560
They got Bruce E. B. They lost him.

800
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:32,640
I think that Denver Nuggets rookie, I think his name is Peyton Watson.

801
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:35,360
He's been pretty good so far.

802
00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:39,480
I know that I don't see Denver going far.

803
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:42,040
I feel like Denver is going to choke some way somehow.

804
00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:43,040
Bro, I disagree.

805
00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:44,920
I mean, they have Nicola Jokic.

806
00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:48,840
They have, with the healthy Jamal Murray, I think they can go as far as Jamal Murray

807
00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:49,840
wants them to.

808
00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:54,920
Yo can just always get given that stuff, but when Jamal Murray is on, he's on.

809
00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:55,920
When he's off, he's off.

810
00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:56,920
You know?

811
00:45:56,920 --> 00:45:59,920
But I'm going to say this though.

812
00:45:59,920 --> 00:46:01,920
It depends on the path of these teams.

813
00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:09,040
Like for example, as a Pelicans fan, I either want to be the three seed or be the six seed.

814
00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:14,960
Because if I'm the six seed, then I'm facing either going state or Dallas.

815
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:17,240
Get me the easy way out.

816
00:46:17,240 --> 00:46:21,080
I don't want to face, I mean, we can beat the Clippers.

817
00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:24,640
It's going to be very rough to beat the Clippers.

818
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:29,240
A game seven against the Clippers, don't ask me for betting advice.

819
00:46:29,240 --> 00:46:30,720
Don't ask me for your fan duel.

820
00:46:30,720 --> 00:46:35,480
I'm a, I ain't going to be betting on that game either.

821
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:41,480
But I think it just really depends on the route.

822
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:48,280
So OKC, I like, I hate OKC with a passion, but I will give them their credit.

823
00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:51,400
They actually are doing something this season.

824
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:54,000
So wait, wait, why do you hate OKC?

825
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:56,600
Hold, just something quick.

826
00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:57,600
What is it?

827
00:46:57,600 --> 00:47:03,320
So the reason I hate OKC is because I was at the playing game last year and you know,

828
00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:05,320
they kind of knocked us out.

829
00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:12,080
But I mean, they're not like, if I had a list of teams, I hate OKC would be like three or

830
00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:13,080
four.

831
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:17,040
They wouldn't be my most hated, but like they'd be like three or four.

832
00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:19,040
Nothing, nothing too big, nothing too small.

833
00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:20,040
All right.

834
00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:21,040
All right.

835
00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:22,520
I'd love to delve into that further in another podcast.

836
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:26,800
Like our most hated teams, you know, I'd be blow jobbing too, but let's look at the

837
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:27,800
things more.

838
00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:31,200
I mean, we were talking about the Western Conference here.

839
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:38,800
You got, you know, as of right now, Sunday, March 30 got Timberlake's first second being

840
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:46,560
the thunder, the Nuggets Clippers Pelicans, sons, Kings Mavericks, Warriors Lakers.

841
00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:49,120
And then the rest things don't really matter that much.

842
00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:50,120
Right?

843
00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:51,120
Yeah, they don't matter.

844
00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:56,720
So then for the East, you got Boston, Cleveland, Milwaukee, New York, Philly, Miami, Orlando,

845
00:47:56,720 --> 00:48:02,320
Indiana, Chicago and Atlanta.

846
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:06,320
I just can't wait to see how the playoffs are going to go in general.

847
00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:08,220
Like that's what I'm going to love.

848
00:48:08,220 --> 00:48:12,840
Do you think everyone in the Western Conference play our picture as of now or making the playoffs?

849
00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:16,440
Or do you think someone's going to follow the playoffs slash play it?

850
00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:21,400
All that, you know, would I like that happen?

851
00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:23,200
I mean, no, what do you think will happen?

852
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:28,400
I feel like the West is kind of set as far as the playoff teams are going to get in.

853
00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:30,640
Well, like I don't see Utah making it.

854
00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:32,520
I don't see Houston making it in.

855
00:48:32,520 --> 00:48:35,560
I feel like the teams are kind of set as far as where they are.

856
00:48:35,560 --> 00:48:39,400
I feel like they are set, but I feel like they're set as of now.

857
00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:40,400
They are set.

858
00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:44,400
But what I would like to see happen as a personal biased as Pelicans fan.

859
00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:45,400
Yeah, yeah.

860
00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:47,400
I'd like to see the Clippers go down.

861
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:49,400
I don't want to face the Clippers.

862
00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:55,480
What did the playoffs period not have a playoff, but like I'm not talking about where they

863
00:48:55,480 --> 00:48:59,360
are in the actual standing, just if they're going to make the playoffs.

864
00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:03,120
I feel like we have some unwritten beef with Phoenix.

865
00:49:03,120 --> 00:49:05,600
I would love to face Phoenix.

866
00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:06,600
We need Phoenix.

867
00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:11,920
I don't want to face Paul Edwards, Kawhi, Leonard, James Harden, all of them boys.

868
00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:12,920
That's a scary matchup.

869
00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:14,720
I don't want that.

870
00:49:14,720 --> 00:49:23,640
But for a shocker, as much as I don't believe in this team and when they play against us,

871
00:49:23,640 --> 00:49:30,400
I do believe Sacramento is going to steal that final spot.

872
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:35,400
It depends on how that whole team plays though, and if no one gets hurt.

873
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:38,320
I believe that Phoenix will be in the playing.

874
00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:40,320
Will they make it out of the playing?

875
00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:42,480
Of course, it's Phoenix.

876
00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:49,920
But will they have to face the likes of Adalice or something?

877
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:50,920
You bet your ass they will.

878
00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:56,120
I feel like the playoffs as of right now, they're kind of sad as far as who the teams

879
00:49:56,120 --> 00:49:57,120
are in the West.

880
00:49:57,120 --> 00:50:04,800
Now in the East, I think it's a little more questionable because you got Celtics 1, Cavs

881
00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:11,960
2, followed by Bucks, Knicks, Sixers, Heat, Magic, Pacers, Bulls, Hawks.

882
00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:15,320
The Hawks are kind of, they're trending downwards right now.

883
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:18,000
I don't know if they're even going to make the play-in.

884
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:22,800
I think that Brooklyn might make the play-in or the Raptors might make the play-in.

885
00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:28,120
The Raptors are playing better as of right now than they were earlier in the season.

886
00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:32,920
I predict the Hawks to fall out, maybe even the Bulls fall out.

887
00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:37,680
And I want to read the Brooklyn or Toronto to make the play-in.

888
00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:42,280
As far as them getting out of the play-in, I don't think any of those play-in teams,

889
00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:47,240
save for maybe the Magic, get out of the play-in.

890
00:50:47,240 --> 00:50:49,720
I think that's a good question.

891
00:50:49,720 --> 00:50:54,800
I think that is something we will need to talk about in our next podcast, our most hated

892
00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:55,800
teams.

893
00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:56,800
Yeah, we can do that.

894
00:50:56,800 --> 00:50:57,800
You know what I mean?

895
00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:05,040
We can talk about the teams that we like, the teams we dislike, teams we have rivalries

896
00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:08,480
with, who we are, our personal biases.

897
00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:13,880
Because that plays a lot into what we think as sports fans, our personal biases.

898
00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:14,880
What you did?

899
00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:15,880
What you did, bro?

900
00:51:15,880 --> 00:51:16,880
I didn't do anything.

901
00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:17,880
Hold up, what you did, man?

902
00:51:17,880 --> 00:51:18,880
I just moved the camera.

903
00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:19,880
All right, everything's good, bro.

904
00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:20,880
Everything's good.

905
00:51:20,880 --> 00:51:21,880
We coached you.

906
00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:22,880
We good.

907
00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:23,880
We Gucci.

908
00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:28,880
All right, well, let's get into our next topic over here.

909
00:51:28,880 --> 00:51:29,880
Doc Rivers, bro.

910
00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:34,080
Doc Rivers is the funniest coach in the NBA.

911
00:51:34,080 --> 00:51:37,840
For one, he doesn't stop blowing 3-1 leads.

912
00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:38,840
It is hilarious.

913
00:51:38,840 --> 00:51:43,040
He's blown, I mean, okay, it's not he's blown hundreds of them.

914
00:51:43,040 --> 00:51:48,920
He's blown like three or four maybe, but it's still funny that he's blown the most in NBA

915
00:51:48,920 --> 00:51:49,920
history.

916
00:51:49,920 --> 00:51:53,760
It's the same coach, different teams, but the same outcome.

917
00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:56,480
He just doesn't stop blowing 3-1 leads.

918
00:51:56,480 --> 00:51:58,560
He went to the Bucs this year.

919
00:51:58,560 --> 00:52:02,240
My man, he is taking that team.

920
00:52:02,240 --> 00:52:08,920
So I will say I will give props to Doc Rivers for giving his All-Star check to Adrian Griffin,

921
00:52:08,920 --> 00:52:12,480
the other coach of them, former coach of the Milwaukee Bucs.

922
00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:15,160
First of all, he should not have been the All-Star coach.

923
00:52:15,160 --> 00:52:17,240
He just got to the team.

924
00:52:17,240 --> 00:52:23,320
How can you, as the NBA, step in, have another coach, coach that team?

925
00:52:23,320 --> 00:52:28,720
Either J.B. Baker Staff wouldn't be a good one, or Jumaan Mosley in Orlando would be

926
00:52:28,720 --> 00:52:29,720
a good pick.

927
00:52:29,720 --> 00:52:31,920
Or the Boston coach would be good.

928
00:52:31,920 --> 00:52:32,920
He did it last year.

929
00:52:32,920 --> 00:52:35,600
I don't think he did it in consecutive years.

930
00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:37,920
I think it just goes off of best record, I think.

931
00:52:37,920 --> 00:52:38,920
That's the thing.

932
00:52:38,920 --> 00:52:45,040
Either best record or if I'm thinking of Team USA, I think for Team USA, I'm thinking of

933
00:52:45,040 --> 00:52:47,800
who wins the NBA championship as the coach.

934
00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:49,520
No, how it does for the All-Star game.

935
00:52:49,520 --> 00:52:56,760
So whichever conference is the, so whichever number one seed in each conference.

936
00:52:56,760 --> 00:53:01,960
But because Boston South Dicks head coach Joe Masula did it last season, he can't do

937
00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:03,120
it again the following season.

938
00:53:03,120 --> 00:53:05,240
You can't do it consecutive years.

939
00:53:05,240 --> 00:53:07,960
So that's why he went to the second place.

940
00:53:07,960 --> 00:53:11,080
Milwaukee Bucs had the time, were in second place.

941
00:53:11,080 --> 00:53:16,320
And who knew they just got a new coach who hasn't been there for the previous, however

942
00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:17,320
many games.

943
00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:18,320
He just got there.

944
00:53:18,320 --> 00:53:19,320
I was like, what?

945
00:53:19,320 --> 00:53:22,320
I coached the All-Star game, now what?

946
00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:30,680
I won't give him his credit for giving this check to Adrian Griffin, but Doc Rivers is

947
00:53:30,680 --> 00:53:32,520
a sorry coach.

948
00:53:32,520 --> 00:53:40,280
As a man that has watched this man, he had so many opportunities to get to the finals.

949
00:53:40,280 --> 00:53:42,000
He was like right there one year.

950
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:44,000
He was in the conference finals one year.

951
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:49,240
I think he was with Philly or either with Philly or...

952
00:53:49,240 --> 00:53:50,880
Philly hasn't gone to the conference finals in a long time.

953
00:53:50,880 --> 00:53:52,480
I think no.

954
00:53:52,480 --> 00:53:59,480
I don't know if he was with Philly, whatever they were in the conference finals, I don't

955
00:53:59,480 --> 00:54:00,480
know.

956
00:54:00,480 --> 00:54:02,480
I think you're thinking of Clippers maybe, his Clippers days.

957
00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:07,720
I don't know if it's Clippers either because Clippers didn't make it far either.

958
00:54:07,720 --> 00:54:08,720
No.

959
00:54:08,720 --> 00:54:14,560
Someone, whatever team he coached, they were in the conference finals and he showed it.

960
00:54:14,560 --> 00:54:16,360
That's all I remember.

961
00:54:16,360 --> 00:54:25,480
But Doc Rivers is not the greatest head coach in the world.

962
00:54:25,480 --> 00:54:30,520
Whenever I saw JJ Reddick go after him on Twitter and stuff and everyone going after

963
00:54:30,520 --> 00:54:36,320
JJ Reddick and then Patrick Beverly going and doing all this and all that, I'm just

964
00:54:36,320 --> 00:54:43,200
like this man, y'all are arguing about a coach that hasn't even won y'all a ring.

965
00:54:43,200 --> 00:54:47,320
I don't know why Patrick Beverly talking, JJ Reddick talking, but they haven't won

966
00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:48,320
him a ring.

967
00:54:48,320 --> 00:54:51,880
We can say he's not a good coach, but I would argue he's not a good man.

968
00:54:51,880 --> 00:54:58,320
As a man, you have to stand up for yourself and you don't put your problems on other people.

969
00:54:58,320 --> 00:55:01,160
He's done this for a few teams now.

970
00:55:01,160 --> 00:55:06,000
Back when he was in Philadelphia with the whole Ben Simmons fiasco, he put Ben Simmons

971
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:07,000
under the bus.

972
00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:12,920
That's what kind of kickstarted Ben Simmons' little issues in him not wanting to play for

973
00:55:12,920 --> 00:55:14,480
Philadelphia and everything.

974
00:55:14,480 --> 00:55:19,760
He destroyed Ben Simmons and he was their head coach of the Philadelphia 76ers.

975
00:55:19,760 --> 00:55:24,440
Come on, you can't do that as a head coach to put down on your guys like that.

976
00:55:24,440 --> 00:55:26,160
I will say this though.

977
00:55:26,160 --> 00:55:34,640
I will say that Ben Simmons did deserve all that.

978
00:55:34,640 --> 00:55:43,240
Not the so much attack from Billy fans because of the one play he messed up on, but at the

979
00:55:43,240 --> 00:55:47,280
same time though, every NBA team just exploited him.

980
00:55:47,280 --> 00:55:48,920
He can't shoot.

981
00:55:48,920 --> 00:55:50,640
So what are we going to do?

982
00:55:50,640 --> 00:55:53,200
We're going to clog the lane.

983
00:55:53,200 --> 00:55:55,360
That way it's harder for you to shoot.

984
00:55:55,360 --> 00:55:58,440
Hope, we're not going to argue whether Ben Simmons is a good player.

985
00:55:58,440 --> 00:56:03,680
What I'm saying is if you're Doc Rivers, you can't shit on your player like that.

986
00:56:03,680 --> 00:56:06,280
Say I can't win a championship with this guy.

987
00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:07,280
Come on.

988
00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:14,920
I agree with that, but at the same time though, you can do something about that.

989
00:56:14,920 --> 00:56:18,360
If I'm the head coach, I can do something about that.

990
00:56:18,360 --> 00:56:23,320
Do I believe that... Because what they said about Ben Simmons coming out of college was

991
00:56:23,320 --> 00:56:26,520
his work ethic wasn't there, all this stuff.

992
00:56:26,520 --> 00:56:27,520
I can see it now.

993
00:56:27,520 --> 00:56:28,520
They were true.

994
00:56:28,520 --> 00:56:35,440
But, Doc Rivers also needs to understand, he's worked with these great legends that

995
00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:38,080
were actually putting in the hard work and all that.

996
00:56:38,080 --> 00:56:43,320
He could have taken a better approach to it, I won't say that, but do I think Doc Rivers

997
00:56:43,320 --> 00:56:46,120
could have been hell of a lot better at it?

998
00:56:46,120 --> 00:56:47,120
Absolutely.

999
00:56:47,120 --> 00:56:51,240
Saying to the NBA media, I cannot win a championship with this guy.

1000
00:56:51,240 --> 00:56:54,240
What's that going to do to a man's confidence?

1001
00:56:54,240 --> 00:56:57,720
If you're the head coach of the team and you say, I can't win a championship with this

1002
00:56:57,720 --> 00:57:01,480
dude, that's going to shoot his confidence down through the roof.

1003
00:57:01,480 --> 00:57:07,080
He's going to be so low on himself as a person.

1004
00:57:07,080 --> 00:57:10,600
My coach doesn't have any confidence in me to be a good player.

1005
00:57:10,600 --> 00:57:12,080
What does that say about Doc Rivers?

1006
00:57:12,080 --> 00:57:16,640
He constantly puts down on his players like that.

1007
00:57:16,640 --> 00:57:20,440
But here's the thing about these amazing situations.

1008
00:57:20,440 --> 00:57:26,920
It's whenever you have something bad to you, it's how you turn around and make things

1009
00:57:26,920 --> 00:57:27,920
better.

1010
00:57:27,920 --> 00:57:36,160
We're going to take the 2019 Bucks for example, when they lost to the Raptors.

1011
00:57:36,160 --> 00:57:40,320
How everyone was like, oh my gosh, they're going to win, they're going to beat Kawhi,

1012
00:57:40,320 --> 00:57:46,080
and Kawhi actually beat them and made it to the finals.

1013
00:57:46,080 --> 00:57:50,040
Everyone that year was like, oh, Yanis can't shoot.

1014
00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:52,080
They did the same thing they did to Ben Simmons.

1015
00:57:52,080 --> 00:57:53,080
They just clawed the lane.

1016
00:57:53,080 --> 00:58:02,720
Yanis ain't going butt, but the thing Yanis did was though, he actually got better shooting.

1017
00:58:02,720 --> 00:58:04,840
He actually put in the effort for it.

1018
00:58:04,840 --> 00:58:12,160
I could see what Doc Rivers was trying to do, but at the same time though, just to completely

1019
00:58:12,160 --> 00:58:13,160
throw him under the bus.

1020
00:58:13,160 --> 00:58:19,760
I don't understand if you throw an arm under the bus, but to throw the whole man under

1021
00:58:19,760 --> 00:58:22,760
the bus, that's kind of best felt.

1022
00:58:22,760 --> 00:58:27,320
Yeah, I mean, you're focusing on the player a lot, I'm focusing more on the coach.

1023
00:58:27,320 --> 00:58:31,040
Mike Bordenhauser didn't put Yanis under the bus.

1024
00:58:31,040 --> 00:58:33,040
Oh, he can't shoot Fritos.

1025
00:58:33,040 --> 00:58:34,920
Oh, he has to be better.

1026
00:58:34,920 --> 00:58:36,600
He's the better post player.

1027
00:58:36,600 --> 00:58:39,320
He's got to go at it more.

1028
00:58:39,320 --> 00:58:40,320
He didn't do that.

1029
00:58:40,320 --> 00:58:41,800
Mike Bordenhauser did not do that.

1030
00:58:41,800 --> 00:58:44,480
Doc Rivers, he's going to put everyone under the bus.

1031
00:58:44,480 --> 00:58:47,360
He could have put LeBron under the bus if he was LeBron's coach.

1032
00:58:47,360 --> 00:58:48,360
You know that's true.

1033
00:58:48,360 --> 00:58:49,360
Come on.

1034
00:58:49,360 --> 00:58:59,720
I do believe though that, I do believe that he will end up actually, I feel like he may

1035
00:58:59,720 --> 00:59:01,800
get another opportunity in coaching.

1036
00:59:01,800 --> 00:59:02,800
He's going to.

1037
00:59:02,800 --> 00:59:07,080
NBA teams are going to be dumb enough to say, this guy can coach.

1038
00:59:07,080 --> 00:59:09,600
He's coached teams before.

1039
00:59:09,600 --> 00:59:11,880
This guy gets regular season wins.

1040
00:59:11,880 --> 00:59:13,680
I want him as my head coach.

1041
00:59:13,680 --> 00:59:17,160
Now see, if the Pelicans ever fire Willie Green, I do not want him.

1042
00:59:17,160 --> 00:59:19,840
Doc Rivers, number one coaching hire right now.

1043
00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:21,600
How are you going to react?

1044
00:59:21,600 --> 00:59:23,840
How are you going to react?

1045
00:59:23,840 --> 00:59:27,120
I will be throwing shit around the room.

1046
00:59:27,120 --> 00:59:29,000
I will be so pissed off.

1047
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:33,240
I will watch Kelly with his basketball even when we tap off because I already know what

1048
00:59:33,240 --> 00:59:34,240
to expect.

1049
00:59:34,240 --> 00:59:37,240
See, I've gone through so many coaches.

1050
00:59:37,240 --> 00:59:41,760
I went through Jeff, I went through Stane Vanigundi when he was in New Orleans with

1051
00:59:41,760 --> 00:59:42,760
Lonzo.

1052
00:59:42,760 --> 00:59:47,960
I ain't like that whatsoever because we were sucking.

1053
00:59:47,960 --> 00:59:51,880
He was there just one year in Zion's rookie year.

1054
00:59:51,880 --> 00:59:54,000
Nice little two years.

1055
00:59:54,000 --> 01:00:03,560
He was there before Zion and then after Zion's rookie year and then we got rid of that finally.

1056
01:00:03,560 --> 01:00:11,320
But I do think, I feel like if you give Doc Rivers the right pieces, of course, I feel

1057
01:00:11,320 --> 01:00:15,120
like I'd choose a Steve Kerr, a glorified Steve Kerr.

1058
01:00:15,120 --> 01:00:22,200
Except the difference between Steve Kerr and Doc Rivers is whenever it's in times where

1059
01:00:22,200 --> 01:00:28,880
it shows the difference between both of them, when push comes to shove, Steve Kerr can actually

1060
01:00:28,880 --> 01:00:33,080
be like, okay, let's actually do this now.

1061
01:00:33,080 --> 01:00:41,560
And the year that the Celtics were playing the Warriors in the finals, did any of us

1062
01:00:41,560 --> 01:00:45,160
think the Warriors were even going to make it there?

1063
01:00:45,160 --> 01:00:46,160
Nope.

1064
01:00:46,160 --> 01:00:49,040
I'm not sure as hell they didn't.

1065
01:00:49,040 --> 01:00:57,920
That's why I think that Steve Kerr is better than Doc Rivers and Doc Rivers needs to actually

1066
01:00:57,920 --> 01:00:58,920
be better overall.

1067
01:00:58,920 --> 01:01:00,520
That's what I personally think.

1068
01:01:00,520 --> 01:01:04,720
I think anyone will agree with you that Steve Kerr is better than Doc Rivers.

1069
01:01:04,720 --> 01:01:07,320
I think that's a foregone conclusion.

1070
01:01:07,320 --> 01:01:12,920
I mean this man, Doc Rivers, he was with the Magic and couldn't win.

1071
01:01:12,920 --> 01:01:19,560
He was with the Celtics and won a championship with Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce and Ray

1072
01:01:19,560 --> 01:01:20,560
Allen.

1073
01:01:20,560 --> 01:01:23,120
So he had a lot of pieces that helped him win that championship.

1074
01:01:23,120 --> 01:01:25,120
I will say this though.

1075
01:01:25,120 --> 01:01:31,280
If they didn't lose that one year, I mean Kobe would have four, but if they didn't

1076
01:01:31,280 --> 01:01:34,280
fuck up that one year, he'd have two.

1077
01:01:34,280 --> 01:01:35,280
That's all I gotta say.

1078
01:01:35,280 --> 01:01:37,280
But you know, Doc Rivers would be fucking up sometimes.

1079
01:01:37,280 --> 01:01:38,280
Well, okay.

1080
01:01:38,280 --> 01:01:45,280
And then he went to the Clippers and he had Chris Paul and he had who else was on that

1081
01:01:45,280 --> 01:01:46,280
team?

1082
01:01:46,280 --> 01:01:47,280
Blake Griffin.

1083
01:01:47,280 --> 01:01:49,480
He fucked up one of the most exciting teams in NBA history.

1084
01:01:49,480 --> 01:01:50,480
No for real.

1085
01:01:50,480 --> 01:01:53,920
That team was so exciting and they just couldn't do anything in the playoffs.

1086
01:01:53,920 --> 01:01:59,120
I mean I understand why though, because like really the shooting aspect wasn't there.

1087
01:01:59,120 --> 01:02:04,520
Because it was like Hackishack, but in modern day NBA, you gotta think.

1088
01:02:04,520 --> 01:02:06,840
DeAndre Jordan couldn't hit shit.

1089
01:02:06,840 --> 01:02:09,840
So it was practically Hackishack, but with DeAndre Jordan.

1090
01:02:09,840 --> 01:02:16,280
But at the same time though, they did play like some of those teams they should have

1091
01:02:16,280 --> 01:02:17,280
beaten though.

1092
01:02:17,280 --> 01:02:22,360
Like Utah, like with Gordon Hayward at the time, Rudy Gobert.

1093
01:02:22,360 --> 01:02:25,680
They should have beaten them boys.

1094
01:02:25,680 --> 01:02:30,120
But you know, he blew that 3-1 lead.

1095
01:02:30,120 --> 01:02:34,800
I don't know if it's Utah or Jazz, but he blew a 3-1 lead too.

1096
01:02:34,800 --> 01:02:41,360
I think he blew two 3-1 leads in the Clippers and I don't know, Doc Rivers and then he

1097
01:02:41,360 --> 01:02:45,560
went and joined the Sixers after he got fired from the Clippers.

1098
01:02:45,560 --> 01:02:50,600
And he did a whole fiasco with Ben Simmons through Ben Simmons under the bus.

1099
01:02:50,600 --> 01:02:55,240
And then he got James Harden and that didn't work out because James Harden decided, hey

1100
01:02:55,240 --> 01:02:56,840
I don't want to play anymore.

1101
01:02:56,840 --> 01:02:59,440
James Harden does that from time to time.

1102
01:02:59,440 --> 01:03:04,200
Whatever you want to make out of that, James Harden is kind of a wish you watched you player

1103
01:03:04,200 --> 01:03:05,720
when he wants to be.

1104
01:03:05,720 --> 01:03:10,800
He couldn't get it done with the Sixers, moved on to the Bucs now and now he's one of the

1105
01:03:10,800 --> 01:03:12,400
Bucs players under the bus.

1106
01:03:12,400 --> 01:03:14,800
Hey these players want to be in Cancun right now.

1107
01:03:14,800 --> 01:03:16,360
I can't coach these players.

1108
01:03:16,360 --> 01:03:18,120
They want to be in Cancun.

1109
01:03:18,120 --> 01:03:21,520
That's your job is to get them ready to play.

1110
01:03:21,520 --> 01:03:25,920
Your job is to get them out of that Cancun mindset.

1111
01:03:25,920 --> 01:03:32,440
But I do like, in all honesty, when certain players, I do like Jeff Teague's podcast.

1112
01:03:32,440 --> 01:03:35,400
Jeff Teague has an amazing podcast.

1113
01:03:35,400 --> 01:03:45,440
I like how he's so honest and for example whenever he was asked the question, what would

1114
01:03:45,440 --> 01:03:46,440
you rather do?

1115
01:03:46,440 --> 01:03:50,560
Would you rather win a championship or have a max contract?

1116
01:03:50,560 --> 01:03:55,560
He was like, shit give me that max contract every day of the week.

1117
01:03:55,560 --> 01:03:59,480
I get to party one day with a championship max contract and I'm set for life.

1118
01:03:59,480 --> 01:04:07,400
And he's got a solid point but same time in this scenario though, Doc Rivers has set all

1119
01:04:07,400 --> 01:04:10,560
throughout, I don't think Doc Rivers just cares anymore.

1120
01:04:10,560 --> 01:04:13,760
Think about it, if he gets fired again, where is he going back to?

1121
01:04:13,760 --> 01:04:14,760
He's going back to ESPN.

1122
01:04:14,760 --> 01:04:17,440
Nope, he's going to get another job.

1123
01:04:17,440 --> 01:04:19,120
He's going to get another NBA job.

1124
01:04:19,120 --> 01:04:20,120
Come on.

1125
01:04:20,120 --> 01:04:21,120
We all know that.

1126
01:04:21,120 --> 01:04:25,400
We all know these teams that are in the bottom say, you know what, I think Doc Rivers can

1127
01:04:25,400 --> 01:04:26,400
turn us around.

1128
01:04:26,400 --> 01:04:30,720
And to his credit, he gets a lot of regular season wins.

1129
01:04:30,720 --> 01:04:34,040
He just can't produce in the playoffs.

1130
01:04:34,040 --> 01:04:39,800
But whenever he does get fired before teams decide to give him a chance, he's automatically

1131
01:04:39,800 --> 01:04:41,800
going to go to ESPN.

1132
01:04:41,800 --> 01:04:47,000
He's going to go get his job back, like he always does when he gets fired, wait for a

1133
01:04:47,000 --> 01:04:48,000
team to give him a chance.

1134
01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:51,560
That team is going to give him a chance, he's going to go over there, fuck up and then come

1135
01:04:51,560 --> 01:04:52,560
back.

1136
01:04:52,560 --> 01:04:53,560
Same cycle over and over again.

1137
01:04:53,560 --> 01:04:57,360
Okay, another little tangent, he was a terrible broadcaster.

1138
01:04:57,360 --> 01:05:01,040
God, I hated listening to his voice in the broadcast.

1139
01:05:01,040 --> 01:05:05,640
He was a terrible broadcaster to the fullest extent of the world.

1140
01:05:05,640 --> 01:05:06,640
He sucked.

1141
01:05:06,640 --> 01:05:09,640
Like, I couldn't stand listening to him.

1142
01:05:09,640 --> 01:05:18,280
Whenever he would broadcast on the Pelicans games, I damn near wanted to put my volume

1143
01:05:18,280 --> 01:05:19,280
on mute.

1144
01:05:19,280 --> 01:05:22,280
Yeah, put that shit on mute.

1145
01:05:22,280 --> 01:05:32,360
All right, so with the NBA season, regular season coming to an end, we got to take a

1146
01:05:32,360 --> 01:05:39,560
look at everyone's favorite yearly traditions is the rookie of the year.

1147
01:05:39,560 --> 01:05:42,120
Everyone loves the rookie of the year.

1148
01:05:42,120 --> 01:05:45,400
And so we're going to talk about Wimby.

1149
01:05:45,400 --> 01:05:51,360
Do you think Wimby will be the best player in the future?

1150
01:05:51,360 --> 01:05:56,920
I think that he's without a doubt the best player, the best rookie right now, without

1151
01:05:56,920 --> 01:05:57,920
a doubt.

1152
01:05:57,920 --> 01:05:58,960
I don't think that's even close.

1153
01:05:58,960 --> 01:06:01,440
I think most people will tell you it's Wimby.

1154
01:06:01,440 --> 01:06:03,280
Now the best player look in the future.

1155
01:06:03,280 --> 01:06:06,280
I think it's an argument that can be made.

1156
01:06:06,280 --> 01:06:08,280
He's going to be the new face of the league.

1157
01:06:08,280 --> 01:06:10,760
Braun, he's not that far off from retiring.

1158
01:06:10,760 --> 01:06:13,560
He's got a couple of years left, Max.

1159
01:06:13,560 --> 01:06:15,600
Steph's up there in age two.

1160
01:06:15,600 --> 01:06:19,040
I think he's going to start declining in the next couple of years.

1161
01:06:19,040 --> 01:06:24,120
So you look out these players that have to be the face of the league.

1162
01:06:24,120 --> 01:06:25,920
You could put Giannis up there.

1163
01:06:25,920 --> 01:06:27,840
You could put Nikola Jokic up there.

1164
01:06:27,840 --> 01:06:32,800
But I don't think the NBA wants an international player being the face of the league.

1165
01:06:32,800 --> 01:06:34,800
I think the international player wants...

1166
01:06:34,800 --> 01:06:37,240
Well, okay, never mind.

1167
01:06:37,240 --> 01:06:38,240
Wimby is international.

1168
01:06:38,240 --> 01:06:39,240
What am I talking about?

1169
01:06:39,240 --> 01:06:40,240
Yeah.

1170
01:06:40,240 --> 01:06:41,240
Hold up.

1171
01:06:41,240 --> 01:06:42,240
That whole argument is stupid right there.

1172
01:06:42,240 --> 01:06:43,240
I was...

1173
01:06:43,240 --> 01:06:44,240
I don't know.

1174
01:06:44,240 --> 01:06:45,240
I wasn't thinking for that one.

1175
01:06:45,240 --> 01:06:52,520
But just out of curiosity, what American rookie would you have said?

1176
01:06:52,520 --> 01:06:57,200
As far as American rookie being the face of the league, I don't think an American rookie

1177
01:06:57,200 --> 01:06:59,680
this season can be the face of the league.

1178
01:06:59,680 --> 01:07:02,160
I don't think the Czechs can be the face of the league.

1179
01:07:02,160 --> 01:07:04,880
I don't think Jami Hawkes is going to be the face of the league.

1180
01:07:04,880 --> 01:07:07,280
I don't think Keontae George is.

1181
01:07:07,280 --> 01:07:10,480
I don't think any of these players can be the face of the league.

1182
01:07:10,480 --> 01:07:12,880
See, my take on this Wimby thing?

1183
01:07:12,880 --> 01:07:15,280
I think Wimby's going to be good.

1184
01:07:15,280 --> 01:07:17,880
Do I think he's the future of the league?

1185
01:07:17,880 --> 01:07:21,440
I think he's the future of the league as a center play.

1186
01:07:21,440 --> 01:07:26,520
I don't think he's the future of the league as an international, everything else, because

1187
01:07:26,520 --> 01:07:29,320
you got so many players that just cook.

1188
01:07:29,320 --> 01:07:30,320
Okay.

1189
01:07:30,320 --> 01:07:33,720
Who do you think is going to be the face of the league after Braun and Steph...

1190
01:07:33,720 --> 01:07:34,720
I think Lugas.

1191
01:07:34,720 --> 01:07:37,920
I don't want to die if we get out of the league.

1192
01:07:37,920 --> 01:07:40,920
I think Luga.

1193
01:07:40,920 --> 01:07:44,120
Janis is tough because...

1194
01:07:44,120 --> 01:07:45,600
I don't think Janis can.

1195
01:07:45,600 --> 01:07:46,600
I don't think Janis can.

1196
01:07:46,600 --> 01:07:49,600
I don't know how long Janis can hold up though.

1197
01:07:49,600 --> 01:07:50,600
That's the thing.

1198
01:07:50,600 --> 01:07:53,600
Because Janis plays a lot of fucking games every single year.

1199
01:07:53,600 --> 01:07:56,600
But so does Luga though.

1200
01:07:56,600 --> 01:08:02,600
I think Luga will actually accomplish something the next couple years.

1201
01:08:02,600 --> 01:08:05,600
That's what I think the league is going to be.

1202
01:08:05,600 --> 01:08:06,600
Luga's good.

1203
01:08:06,600 --> 01:08:07,600
Luga's really good.

1204
01:08:07,600 --> 01:08:08,600
I'm a big fan of Luga.

1205
01:08:08,600 --> 01:08:11,480
I'm a big fan of his game as far as if he's going to get with the hump.

1206
01:08:11,480 --> 01:08:14,240
I hope he does because I'm a big Luga fan.

1207
01:08:14,240 --> 01:08:16,000
I know you were too, Evin.

1208
01:08:16,000 --> 01:08:17,920
I hope he does.

1209
01:08:17,920 --> 01:08:20,160
I can't see it as of right now.

1210
01:08:20,160 --> 01:08:24,360
Maybe that will change, but as of right now I can't see that happening.

1211
01:08:24,360 --> 01:08:26,080
But I'm also looking at Wimby.

1212
01:08:26,080 --> 01:08:29,840
I think Wimby is one of the better rookies this year.

1213
01:08:29,840 --> 01:08:31,840
One of the better?

1214
01:08:31,840 --> 01:08:32,840
He is the best.

1215
01:08:32,840 --> 01:08:33,840
Come on.

1216
01:08:33,840 --> 01:08:37,240
But here's why I'm giving the edge to Wimby.

1217
01:08:37,240 --> 01:08:40,520
If you look at him and Chet's stats, they're practically similar.

1218
01:08:40,520 --> 01:08:45,400
But the only difference is, okay, here's what I'm playing with.

1219
01:08:45,400 --> 01:08:50,280
I'm playing with Shady Ocasale and they're taking 20 plus shots a night, 30 plus shots

1220
01:08:50,280 --> 01:08:51,280
a night.

1221
01:08:51,280 --> 01:08:53,360
And I'm still averaging that.

1222
01:08:53,360 --> 01:08:55,400
Whereas Wimby's the face of the team.

1223
01:08:55,400 --> 01:08:56,400
Exactly.

1224
01:08:56,400 --> 01:08:57,680
Yeah, that's a good argument.

1225
01:08:57,680 --> 01:08:58,680
I like that point.

1226
01:08:58,680 --> 01:09:05,480
I feel like, depending on if Chet gains more weight, does all this amazing stuff actually

1227
01:09:05,480 --> 01:09:10,160
work on this game, I feel like he will be better than Wimby.

1228
01:09:10,160 --> 01:09:16,800
But the thing I like about Wimby though, but actually no.

1229
01:09:16,800 --> 01:09:21,000
That is a good point, but at the same time though, I'm going to argue this too.

1230
01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:23,600
Pop don't give Wimby that ball to save his life.

1231
01:09:23,600 --> 01:09:27,640
The thing with Pop though, he's done this before.

1232
01:09:27,640 --> 01:09:29,560
He did this with Tim Duncan.

1233
01:09:29,560 --> 01:09:33,160
He puts him on amendment restrictions.

1234
01:09:33,160 --> 01:09:36,640
So he's only playing what, 20 something minutes a game?

1235
01:09:36,640 --> 01:09:40,080
I don't think he can go over 20 something minutes a game.

1236
01:09:40,080 --> 01:09:46,520
If he let Wimby play a lot more, Wimby's going to embrace that role and play a full game

1237
01:09:46,520 --> 01:09:49,240
and you're going to see an unleashed Wimby.

1238
01:09:49,240 --> 01:09:50,560
But Pop doesn't want that.

1239
01:09:50,560 --> 01:09:55,800
Pop's thinking long term in the whole equation of it all.

1240
01:09:55,800 --> 01:10:04,240
But see, my thing with that is though, is that if you want to develop, you need to draft

1241
01:10:04,240 --> 01:10:09,320
count, you need to do all this stuff with count before you do any minute restrictions

1242
01:10:09,320 --> 01:10:10,800
doing all this stuff.

1243
01:10:10,800 --> 01:10:15,080
Because who else is there on the Spurs?

1244
01:10:15,080 --> 01:10:19,440
Jeremy Sohan, you got, is that Collins on the Spurs?

1245
01:10:19,440 --> 01:10:20,920
Is that Collins on the Spurs?

1246
01:10:20,920 --> 01:10:22,200
You got Kellan Johnson.

1247
01:10:22,200 --> 01:10:25,480
Kellan Johnson, I like him.

1248
01:10:25,480 --> 01:10:26,800
Anyone else think negative?

1249
01:10:26,800 --> 01:10:27,800
I can't think of anyone else.

1250
01:10:27,800 --> 01:10:28,800
I think Tyus, Jeremy's on there.

1251
01:10:28,800 --> 01:10:29,800
But that's what I'm saying though.

1252
01:10:29,800 --> 01:10:36,800
You don't have these, I don't want to say, you have these role players.

1253
01:10:36,800 --> 01:10:40,200
I'm going to say role players.

1254
01:10:40,200 --> 01:10:43,200
You don't have star players.

1255
01:10:43,200 --> 01:10:48,440
If you had, let's just say, a Damian Lillard.

1256
01:10:48,440 --> 01:10:51,720
I'm going to randomly pick Damian Lillard.

1257
01:10:51,720 --> 01:10:58,800
You get Damian Lillard and then you give Wimby the minutes restriction, Wimby's probably

1258
01:10:58,800 --> 01:11:02,640
going to be like, okay, I want to play with Dave more and more, more than this should

1259
01:11:02,640 --> 01:11:03,640
see 20 minutes.

1260
01:11:03,640 --> 01:11:09,960
Because I've been hearing talks over this off season that Trae Young wants to pair with

1261
01:11:09,960 --> 01:11:13,960
Wimby in San Antonio.

1262
01:11:13,960 --> 01:11:18,040
But in my opinion of that is you're going to a worship spot in Atlanta now.

1263
01:11:18,040 --> 01:11:24,040
I feel like he got it good in Atlanta, but I feel like Trae and Wimby would be a good

1264
01:11:24,040 --> 01:11:29,520
combination just like Shay and Chet make the ball game fair.

1265
01:11:29,520 --> 01:11:34,040
But the thing about the Thunder is they got a bunch of good role players and they have

1266
01:11:34,040 --> 01:11:37,560
drafts thanks for life for whoever knows how long.

1267
01:11:37,560 --> 01:11:40,600
And that's what makes the two different.

1268
01:11:40,600 --> 01:11:43,800
See me personally, I don't think Chet should win the award.

1269
01:11:43,800 --> 01:11:46,440
He's not an official rookie in my books.

1270
01:11:46,440 --> 01:11:47,440
Whereas Wimby is.

1271
01:11:47,440 --> 01:11:49,800
I don't think Chet should win it either.

1272
01:11:49,800 --> 01:11:52,080
But I mean, rules are rules.

1273
01:11:52,080 --> 01:11:54,000
I will say that.

1274
01:11:54,000 --> 01:11:59,120
Like if he played one game, if he played one second on that court, if he pulled an Aaron

1275
01:11:59,120 --> 01:12:05,840
Rogers this season, let's say he sits on the court for a solid two minutes and pairs with

1276
01:12:05,840 --> 01:12:08,240
Achilles, we got to count that.

1277
01:12:08,240 --> 01:12:09,240
That's unfair.

1278
01:12:09,240 --> 01:12:12,960
But since he got injured before the season, I got to count it.

1279
01:12:12,960 --> 01:12:15,960
I hate that argument because I like Donald Mitchell.

1280
01:12:15,960 --> 01:12:18,640
And I think Donald Mitchell should have won it over Ben Simmons.

1281
01:12:18,640 --> 01:12:19,640
I agree.

1282
01:12:19,640 --> 01:12:20,640
I agree.

1283
01:12:20,640 --> 01:12:27,440
It just, it just sucks because you know, it just sucks you have to put him in that scenario.

1284
01:12:27,440 --> 01:12:28,440
Yeah.

1285
01:12:28,440 --> 01:12:29,440
I agree.

1286
01:12:29,440 --> 01:12:30,440
It's tough.

1287
01:12:30,440 --> 01:12:32,440
I mean, you look at it.

1288
01:12:32,440 --> 01:12:34,240
Who's the other good rookies?

1289
01:12:34,240 --> 01:12:39,080
Hamee Haquez with Miami Heat putting up numbers.

1290
01:12:39,080 --> 01:12:41,840
You got Kiyote George with the Utah Jazz.

1291
01:12:41,840 --> 01:12:42,840
You got Jordan Hawkins too.

1292
01:12:42,840 --> 01:12:45,840
Jordan Hawkins with the New Orleans Pelicans.

1293
01:12:45,840 --> 01:12:48,240
I like Jordan Hawkins a lot.

1294
01:12:48,240 --> 01:12:53,720
I'm glad we drafted him, but we can actually be smart and actually play him.

1295
01:12:53,720 --> 01:12:59,320
But that speaks to what I said earlier about putting people in spots that need to be played.

1296
01:12:59,320 --> 01:13:05,480
But I do think though that Remy will be the face of the league at some point.

1297
01:13:05,480 --> 01:13:11,240
Not the face of the league, but like he's younger than Lucas.

1298
01:13:11,240 --> 01:13:13,120
So one of the faces of the league?

1299
01:13:13,120 --> 01:13:14,120
One of the faces of the league, yeah.

1300
01:13:14,120 --> 01:13:15,120
Okay.

1301
01:13:15,120 --> 01:13:18,120
So he's an international player that where people would just be like, oh my gosh, can

1302
01:13:18,120 --> 01:13:19,120
I get your autograph?

1303
01:13:19,120 --> 01:13:22,640
But that's like, he's going to be, because like think about it, he's already a Louis

1304
01:13:22,640 --> 01:13:23,640
Vuitton ambassador.

1305
01:13:23,640 --> 01:13:24,640
Right.

1306
01:13:24,640 --> 01:13:27,720
So like, yeah, he already getting that, his name up there.

1307
01:13:27,720 --> 01:13:29,760
So well, this is another topic.

1308
01:13:29,760 --> 01:13:33,960
Do you think the NBA will have a face of the league or just move into this model of having

1309
01:13:33,960 --> 01:13:35,880
multiple faces of the league?

1310
01:13:35,880 --> 01:13:40,760
You had Michael Jordan in the nineties, you had Kogri in the 2000s and now Braun in the

1311
01:13:40,760 --> 01:13:41,760
2010s.

1312
01:13:41,760 --> 01:13:47,520
Maybe before in the 2020s as Braun and Steph H. Do you think the NBA just have one face

1313
01:13:47,520 --> 01:13:51,120
of the league or do you think they're going to move into this model of having multiple

1314
01:13:51,120 --> 01:13:52,120
faces of the league?

1315
01:13:52,120 --> 01:13:53,760
I think they're going to move into multiple.

1316
01:13:53,760 --> 01:13:57,760
It just depends on, let's just say Giannis wins like three rings.

1317
01:13:57,760 --> 01:14:01,400
They're going to focus more on Giannis and just be like, oh my gosh, Giannis is doing

1318
01:14:01,400 --> 01:14:02,400
this.

1319
01:14:02,400 --> 01:14:04,920
Oh my gosh, yada yada this, yada yada that.

1320
01:14:04,920 --> 01:14:07,520
It depends on what players are dominating.

1321
01:14:07,520 --> 01:14:13,200
Because if Luca wins one year, Giannis wins one year, Wimmy wins another year, they're

1322
01:14:13,200 --> 01:14:19,160
going to, the NBA is a business, we all know this, they're going to market their ass off.

1323
01:14:19,160 --> 01:14:24,840
So they're going to try to promote all three of them and be like, hey, watch Luca live

1324
01:14:24,840 --> 01:14:29,120
on NBA League pass or hey, watch Giannis live on NBA League pass.

1325
01:14:29,120 --> 01:14:34,120
They're going to market off of everybody as they're currently doing now.

1326
01:14:34,120 --> 01:14:37,240
So I do believe that there will be more than one face of the league soon.

1327
01:14:37,240 --> 01:14:38,240
All right, cool.

1328
01:14:38,240 --> 01:14:39,240
Cool.

1329
01:14:39,240 --> 01:14:45,360
Uh, I guess now we're going to delve into a non NBA topic and kind of delve into an NFL

1330
01:14:45,360 --> 01:14:46,360
topic.

1331
01:14:46,360 --> 01:14:53,640
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey, you know, the relationship of a lifetime, right?

1332
01:14:53,640 --> 01:14:59,040
I think my personal opinion on that, that is all fake.

1333
01:14:59,040 --> 01:15:00,840
That is all for the views.

1334
01:15:00,840 --> 01:15:02,840
Oh, you're not going to give them credit.

1335
01:15:02,840 --> 01:15:03,840
I mean, no, credit.

1336
01:15:03,840 --> 01:15:06,840
No, no, no, no, they are not.

1337
01:15:06,840 --> 01:15:09,840
You man, I'm going to tell you this.

1338
01:15:09,840 --> 01:15:10,840
Okay.

1339
01:15:10,840 --> 01:15:11,840
Somehow.

1340
01:15:11,840 --> 01:15:12,840
Okay.

1341
01:15:12,840 --> 01:15:19,840
I think this was just a storyline script for the NFL to let the chiefs win.

1342
01:15:19,840 --> 01:15:20,840
Because think about it.

1343
01:15:20,840 --> 01:15:27,440
They were sucking ass before Taylor before and who, and who comes along to help them

1344
01:15:27,440 --> 01:15:29,080
start winning games?

1345
01:15:29,080 --> 01:15:30,080
Taylor Swift.

1346
01:15:30,080 --> 01:15:31,560
What was their record?

1347
01:15:31,560 --> 01:15:35,320
Whenever they played against, like they were with Taylor Swift, like 12 and three or something

1348
01:15:35,320 --> 01:15:36,840
like that.

1349
01:15:36,840 --> 01:15:41,600
I don't think, I think they were undefeated or close to undefeated every time Taylor was

1350
01:15:41,600 --> 01:15:42,600
there, right?

1351
01:15:42,600 --> 01:15:45,240
They lost that Christmas day game against the Raiders.

1352
01:15:45,240 --> 01:15:47,520
I know they lost that game for sure.

1353
01:15:47,520 --> 01:15:53,720
But other than that though, like, it's just kind of weird that you really think about

1354
01:15:53,720 --> 01:15:54,720
it.

1355
01:15:54,720 --> 01:15:58,480
Like out of all of a sudden y'all started magically popping off because Taylor's was

1356
01:15:58,480 --> 01:15:59,480
there.

1357
01:15:59,480 --> 01:16:02,600
I mean, I don't blame them because she's bringing in loads of money.

1358
01:16:02,600 --> 01:16:07,560
I read an article she was bringing like 330 million dollars every time she goes to a team

1359
01:16:07,560 --> 01:16:08,560
game.

1360
01:16:08,560 --> 01:16:10,360
Something like that along the lines.

1361
01:16:10,360 --> 01:16:11,360
I have no idea.

1362
01:16:11,360 --> 01:16:16,680
But I believe me personally, it is fake.

1363
01:16:16,680 --> 01:16:22,240
I just gotta say for all of our viewers out there, the Extra Spicy Pod, we love love.

1364
01:16:22,240 --> 01:16:23,240
We love relationships.

1365
01:16:23,240 --> 01:16:28,320
We're not going to hate on people who are in love with each other.

1366
01:16:28,320 --> 01:16:32,240
We're not going to put down on people who are in love with each other, right Evan?

1367
01:16:32,240 --> 01:16:34,280
I'm putting down that fake ass relationship.

1368
01:16:34,280 --> 01:16:35,280
I don't care what you say.

1369
01:16:35,280 --> 01:16:36,280
I'm putting down that.

1370
01:16:36,280 --> 01:16:37,280
That is fake as hell.

1371
01:16:37,280 --> 01:16:40,280
Watch them break up literally during the summer.

1372
01:16:40,280 --> 01:16:45,640
If they break up during the summer, I'm coming on this podcast and I'm telling everyone I

1373
01:16:45,640 --> 01:16:46,640
told you so.

1374
01:16:46,640 --> 01:16:49,040
If they don't, y'all can throw an egg at me or something.

1375
01:16:49,040 --> 01:16:51,600
You already have breakup rumors going out there.

1376
01:16:51,600 --> 01:16:52,600
I've seen them.

1377
01:16:52,600 --> 01:16:53,600
I've seen them.

1378
01:16:53,600 --> 01:16:57,280
Like, y'all can throw an egg at me if I'm wrong.

1379
01:16:57,280 --> 01:17:00,640
I'm just going to let it be known on this podcast, we love love.

1380
01:17:00,640 --> 01:17:03,080
We do not judge others and we love love.

1381
01:17:03,080 --> 01:17:08,400
We do try to be happy for people, but in this scenario though, when it comes to my money

1382
01:17:08,400 --> 01:17:15,320
and me betting on the 49ers to win, they're just messing with my money at this point.

1383
01:17:15,320 --> 01:17:16,800
I don't like traps, Kelsey.

1384
01:17:16,800 --> 01:17:19,600
But that's also me being biased.

1385
01:17:19,600 --> 01:17:24,360
I support them if they are actually in a healthy, happy relationship, but on the personal side

1386
01:17:24,360 --> 01:17:26,960
of it, fake as hell.

1387
01:17:26,960 --> 01:17:30,800
Are you willing to place a bet on they're going to break up with the next year?

1388
01:17:30,800 --> 01:17:32,200
I will gladly place a bet.

1389
01:17:32,200 --> 01:17:35,280
How much are you willing to bet on that?

1390
01:17:35,280 --> 01:17:36,280
$50?

1391
01:17:36,280 --> 01:17:37,280
$100?

1392
01:17:37,280 --> 01:17:38,280
Ain't nothing that high.

1393
01:17:38,280 --> 01:17:41,280
Oh, we're talking small money bets?

1394
01:17:41,280 --> 01:17:42,280
Yeah, we're talking small money bets.

1395
01:17:42,280 --> 01:17:43,280
You don't have confidence like that.

1396
01:17:43,280 --> 01:17:44,280
Do you have it?

1397
01:17:44,280 --> 01:17:45,280
Ah, shi- I'm just too broke for all that.

1398
01:17:45,280 --> 01:17:46,280
I'll place a $10 bet.

1399
01:17:46,280 --> 01:17:47,280
Like everyone on my fan duel bets.

1400
01:17:47,280 --> 01:17:48,280
All right, all right.

1401
01:17:48,280 --> 01:17:55,360
Well, I just want to let you know we love love on this podcast.

1402
01:17:55,360 --> 01:17:57,720
We love seeing people happy.

1403
01:17:57,720 --> 01:18:04,280
We are very happy for Travis Kelsey that he found him a good woman that he's going to

1404
01:18:04,280 --> 01:18:06,400
stay with hopefully forever, right Evan?

1405
01:18:06,400 --> 01:18:07,400
Hopefully.

1406
01:18:07,400 --> 01:18:08,400
Yeah.

1407
01:18:08,400 --> 01:18:12,040
But I do believe that they will break up though, because for the publicity, for the views,

1408
01:18:12,040 --> 01:18:13,040
everything.

1409
01:18:13,040 --> 01:18:15,840
Bro, you do not stop hating, do you?

1410
01:18:15,840 --> 01:18:17,360
I do stop hating.

1411
01:18:17,360 --> 01:18:19,240
It's just I don't believe in it.

1412
01:18:19,240 --> 01:18:21,240
I don't believe in this bullshit.

1413
01:18:21,240 --> 01:18:22,240
That's just me though.

1414
01:18:22,240 --> 01:18:29,440
If they are actually in a healthy relationship, I will give them their credit.

1415
01:18:29,440 --> 01:18:32,440
That's what I personally got to say about it.

1416
01:18:32,440 --> 01:18:33,440
All right, all right.

1417
01:18:33,440 --> 01:18:39,000
Well, we have different opinions on this topic like we're going to have from time to time.

1418
01:18:39,000 --> 01:18:40,560
You know, I think they're in love.

1419
01:18:40,560 --> 01:18:42,000
I think it's for real.

1420
01:18:42,000 --> 01:18:46,240
I think that all this, oh, it's rare, Delina Pell.

1421
01:18:46,240 --> 01:18:48,200
I think that's all made up.

1422
01:18:48,200 --> 01:18:49,200
That's awesome.

1423
01:18:49,200 --> 01:18:50,200
BS.

1424
01:18:50,200 --> 01:18:54,520
We can get into that topic another episode if we really want to.

1425
01:18:54,520 --> 01:18:57,800
How sports may be weird, they may not be waved.

1426
01:18:57,800 --> 01:18:58,800
Some events may be waved.

1427
01:18:58,800 --> 01:19:01,280
I don't know about all that.

1428
01:19:01,280 --> 01:19:07,520
In my opinion, Travis Felsey, Taylor Swift, their relationship has very little to do with

1429
01:19:07,520 --> 01:19:09,640
how well the G's are doing.

1430
01:19:09,640 --> 01:19:15,620
Now with that being said, let's get into sort of a non-sports topic.

1431
01:19:15,620 --> 01:19:20,280
So this is going to be like one of our final two topics, okay?

1432
01:19:20,280 --> 01:19:28,160
So what is our favorite podcast and who are our idols?

1433
01:19:28,160 --> 01:19:31,000
So I'll go first with this one.

1434
01:19:31,000 --> 01:19:35,760
Some of the main podcasts I listen to, the Pat McAfee show I think is really good.

1435
01:19:35,760 --> 01:19:42,600
I really love Pat McAfee and the Viagrains Tour show is energy.

1436
01:19:42,600 --> 01:19:46,000
I know he's on college game day now, which I think is really cool.

1437
01:19:46,000 --> 01:19:51,600
A lot of people hate him on college game day, which I don't get because I'm a big fan.

1438
01:19:51,600 --> 01:19:57,360
Him and AJ as well, AJ Hawk, they're really funny people on that podcast.

1439
01:19:57,360 --> 01:20:05,440
They bring in people to interview throughout the NBA, NFL, really insightful sports coverage.

1440
01:20:05,440 --> 01:20:09,280
Another podcast I listen to a lot is the Joe Rogan Experience.

1441
01:20:09,280 --> 01:20:15,140
I think he's pretty amazing in what he does covering topics, a wide variety of topics

1442
01:20:15,140 --> 01:20:23,280
from music to politics to MMA fighting to comedy.

1443
01:20:23,280 --> 01:20:28,400
His range is very, very, he's a great podcaster.

1444
01:20:28,400 --> 01:20:33,360
As well, another one, I kind of want to plug this podcast, it's a little smaller podcast

1445
01:20:33,360 --> 01:20:38,000
I think, but it's called the Boys Cast by Ryan Long.

1446
01:20:38,000 --> 01:20:42,600
Listen to it, especially if you're a male, you will find it hilarious.

1447
01:20:42,600 --> 01:20:47,440
What they do in that podcast, they go, and it's two comedians, they come together, they

1448
01:20:47,440 --> 01:20:52,960
pull up these wacky articles, these woke articles, and they just laugh at these people because

1449
01:20:52,960 --> 01:20:57,080
a lot of these people, they deserve to be laughed at.

1450
01:20:57,080 --> 01:20:58,640
You want to normalize cannibalism?

1451
01:20:58,640 --> 01:21:00,560
No, thank you, my dude.

1452
01:21:00,560 --> 01:21:03,000
I don't want you to normalize cannibalism.

1453
01:21:03,000 --> 01:21:05,400
I'm okay with you not eating other people.

1454
01:21:05,400 --> 01:21:07,040
I will not eat you.

1455
01:21:07,040 --> 01:21:10,280
You will not eat me, and that's how it's going to be.

1456
01:21:10,280 --> 01:21:11,280
Do you agree with cannibalism?

1457
01:21:11,280 --> 01:21:12,280
I do not agree with cannibalism.

1458
01:21:12,280 --> 01:21:13,280
I'm glad we're off.

1459
01:21:13,280 --> 01:21:14,280
I don't feel like I can eat you today, so.

1460
01:21:14,280 --> 01:21:21,280
Well, some people I guess do, you know?

1461
01:21:21,280 --> 01:21:29,680
But, so, I like, my podcast, I do like Joe Rogan a lot.

1462
01:21:29,680 --> 01:21:31,680
Jeff Teague is a good one.

1463
01:21:31,680 --> 01:21:37,640
Now see, there are some podcasts I can't get into because, like for example, I can't get

1464
01:21:37,640 --> 01:21:38,640
into Cam Newton stuff.

1465
01:21:38,640 --> 01:21:39,640
I can't get into Cam Newton stuff.

1466
01:21:39,640 --> 01:21:40,640
Who else can I not get into?

1467
01:21:40,640 --> 01:21:48,640
Gilbert Rios, I can't get into them two podcasts, but I'm a Joe Rogan type of guy.

1468
01:21:48,640 --> 01:21:54,320
I don't want to be a generic person and be like, oh, I listen to New Heights, but they

1469
01:21:54,320 --> 01:21:55,320
have some interesting topics.

1470
01:21:55,320 --> 01:21:56,320
Who else was it?

1471
01:21:56,320 --> 01:21:57,320
The Old Man and 3JJ Reddick.

1472
01:21:57,320 --> 01:21:58,320
He's a good-ass guy.

1473
01:21:58,320 --> 01:22:03,320
I'm trying to deep dive into other podcasts now.

1474
01:22:03,320 --> 01:22:11,800
I'm trying to learn from all these podcasts and groups so I can learn.

1475
01:22:11,800 --> 01:22:14,840
Do you just mainly focus on sports podcasts?

1476
01:22:14,840 --> 01:22:18,440
Because I know you named a lot of sports podcasters.

1477
01:22:18,440 --> 01:22:27,040
I mean, I haven't recently, yeah, but as soon as me diving into the podcasting, I got to

1478
01:22:27,040 --> 01:22:31,880
start with the little stuff, the basic stuff first, and then go down to the deeper stuff.

1479
01:22:31,880 --> 01:22:36,160
So I feel like that would be beneficial for me.

1480
01:22:36,160 --> 01:22:43,320
I mean, basically everyone in the league is starting podcasts, and so many sports players,

1481
01:22:43,320 --> 01:22:47,920
NFL players, NBA players, they're starting podcasts.

1482
01:22:47,920 --> 01:22:51,960
They're getting their own voices out there in the airwaves, and they're not having to

1483
01:22:51,960 --> 01:22:56,120
do it through NBA media or through this media coverage.

1484
01:22:56,120 --> 01:22:59,920
They're doing it by themselves, which is pretty cool, I think.

1485
01:22:59,920 --> 01:23:00,920
What do you think?

1486
01:23:00,920 --> 01:23:01,920
I think it is pretty cool.

1487
01:23:01,920 --> 01:23:06,920
I like how the older players are getting paid and stuff, but at the same time, though, I

1488
01:23:06,920 --> 01:23:11,920
personally think that not everybody and their mama deserves a damn podcast.

1489
01:23:11,920 --> 01:23:13,920
I mean, you could say the same thing about us.

1490
01:23:13,920 --> 01:23:17,920
You could say the same thing about little Jimmy from down the street trying to start

1491
01:23:17,920 --> 01:23:18,920
a podcast.

1492
01:23:18,920 --> 01:23:19,920
Okay, do you think we shouldn't do this podcast then?

1493
01:23:19,920 --> 01:23:21,920
We should just call it quits?

1494
01:23:21,920 --> 01:23:22,920
No.

1495
01:23:22,920 --> 01:23:25,920
I think this is a good little starting point.

1496
01:23:25,920 --> 01:23:30,920
The people that actually genuinely try, we're giving our actual thoughts on this.

1497
01:23:30,920 --> 01:23:34,920
We're actually trying to put a little bit of effort into it, every single podcast, giving

1498
01:23:34,920 --> 01:23:38,920
these amazing viewers great time to listen to.

1499
01:23:38,920 --> 01:23:44,920
I do believe that we will end up actually doing great things in the future.

1500
01:23:44,920 --> 01:23:47,920
So you don't think everyone deserves a podcast, though?

1501
01:23:47,920 --> 01:23:48,920
Not everyone.

1502
01:23:48,920 --> 01:23:51,920
Not everyone and their mama deserves a podcast, no.

1503
01:23:51,920 --> 01:23:54,920
Well, that's something I disagree with.

1504
01:23:54,920 --> 01:23:58,920
I think anyone should be able to start their own podcast if they want to.

1505
01:23:58,920 --> 01:24:01,920
I do believe they have the right to start their own podcast.

1506
01:24:01,920 --> 01:24:07,920
At the same time, though, like Puggle Side or making these people popular, like for example,

1507
01:24:07,920 --> 01:24:08,920
Gilbert Arena's podcast.

1508
01:24:08,920 --> 01:24:11,920
I'm going to take Gilbert Arena's podcast.

1509
01:24:11,920 --> 01:24:17,920
The man said, and I kind of see his point, but at the same time, though, no, because

1510
01:24:17,920 --> 01:24:21,920
that's the point of the National Basketball Association.

1511
01:24:21,920 --> 01:24:26,920
He said, and I quote, the NBA should ban European players.

1512
01:24:26,920 --> 01:24:27,920
Ooh.

1513
01:24:27,920 --> 01:24:29,920
He's like, think about it.

1514
01:24:29,920 --> 01:24:30,920
They're on athletic.

1515
01:24:30,920 --> 01:24:32,920
All they can do is shoot.

1516
01:24:32,920 --> 01:24:38,920
Like, they don't play defense and it's making the rules of the NBA softer.

1517
01:24:38,920 --> 01:24:40,920
But that's the point of the NBA.

1518
01:24:40,920 --> 01:24:46,920
You have all these people from different places get drafted and get through the motions.

1519
01:24:46,920 --> 01:24:51,920
The NBA is pretty international as of right now.

1520
01:24:51,920 --> 01:24:54,920
So that take is kind of dumb.

1521
01:24:54,920 --> 01:24:58,920
But I understand his point, though, but at the same time, I mean, personally, I think

1522
01:24:58,920 --> 01:24:59,920
that take is kind of dumb.

1523
01:24:59,920 --> 01:25:03,920
Because then again, you still have the people that come from, like, let's just say, UConn

1524
01:25:03,920 --> 01:25:05,920
and just dominate.

1525
01:25:05,920 --> 01:25:10,920
I don't know who's coming out of UConn to dominate like that or who's going to play

1526
01:25:10,920 --> 01:25:14,920
defense like that, but you still have these people that will actually come and dominate

1527
01:25:14,920 --> 01:25:15,920
at the per level.

1528
01:25:15,920 --> 01:25:17,920
Like, for example, we're going to take Herb Guernsey for example.

1529
01:25:17,920 --> 01:25:23,920
Herb Guernsey came out of Alabama, the Crimson Tide College.

1530
01:25:23,920 --> 01:25:25,920
He played for the Pelhammys.

1531
01:25:25,920 --> 01:25:27,920
Now, I've watched his main lockup, Luka, twice in a row.

1532
01:25:27,920 --> 01:25:29,920
Twice in a row.

1533
01:25:29,920 --> 01:25:31,920
And I just watched him lock up Albert the other night.

1534
01:25:31,920 --> 01:25:34,920
And he ain't no European player.

1535
01:25:34,920 --> 01:25:37,920
So I just believe that the USA needs to get better at basketball.

1536
01:25:37,920 --> 01:25:40,920
But that also sticks to my point.

1537
01:25:40,920 --> 01:25:43,920
Not everybody in Namama deserves to have a podcast.

1538
01:25:43,920 --> 01:25:47,920
I do believe they can start a podcast, the free will, free speech.

1539
01:25:47,920 --> 01:25:49,920
They can have it.

1540
01:25:49,920 --> 01:25:51,920
The certain shit that they say on this podcast.

1541
01:25:51,920 --> 01:25:55,920
So just because you disagree with someone means they don't deserve a podcast?

1542
01:25:55,920 --> 01:25:56,920
No.

1543
01:25:56,920 --> 01:25:58,920
It's just a certain shit that they say.

1544
01:25:58,920 --> 01:26:05,920
If I say, if I come up over here and say don't shit, but at the same time though, we're

1545
01:26:05,920 --> 01:26:06,920
getting acknowledged for it.

1546
01:26:06,920 --> 01:26:09,920
And people are just like, oh my gosh, this is a good podcast.

1547
01:26:09,920 --> 01:26:15,920
But if an actual intelligent person looks at our podcast, they're going to be like,

1548
01:26:15,920 --> 01:26:17,920
oh, that man Leland said something dumb.

1549
01:26:17,920 --> 01:26:20,920
Like, I don't think he deserves a podcast.

1550
01:26:20,920 --> 01:26:23,920
Evan says a lot of dumb things just to be on the record.

1551
01:26:23,920 --> 01:26:27,920
He goes through his whole life saying dumb things, 24-7-365.

1552
01:26:27,920 --> 01:26:29,920
No, no, not all the time.

1553
01:26:29,920 --> 01:26:33,920
He said 20 dumb things in between these podcasts that we're doing.

1554
01:26:33,920 --> 01:26:37,920
In between these little commercial breaks that we're doing, he said 20 dumb things.

1555
01:26:37,920 --> 01:26:39,920
I said 15.

1556
01:26:39,920 --> 01:26:40,920
Drips on you.

1557
01:26:40,920 --> 01:26:41,920
Anyways.

1558
01:26:41,920 --> 01:26:42,920
More like 100.

1559
01:26:42,920 --> 01:26:43,920
Nope, not 100.

1560
01:26:43,920 --> 01:26:45,920
But that's what I personally believe.

1561
01:26:45,920 --> 01:26:48,920
I do believe that people should start a podcast.

1562
01:26:48,920 --> 01:26:54,920
If they're artists in the right mind do it, if people are doing it for shits and giggles,

1563
01:26:54,920 --> 01:26:55,920
that's cool too.

1564
01:26:55,920 --> 01:27:01,920
But if you're going to go on the podcast and get acknowledged for something dumb, I mean,

1565
01:27:01,920 --> 01:27:06,920
if it makes international headlines good for you, like for example, I like how as much

1566
01:27:06,920 --> 01:27:13,920
as I hate this topic, how KMV was like Brock Pertti as a game manager.

1567
01:27:13,920 --> 01:27:16,920
That was a big topic in the NFL.

1568
01:27:16,920 --> 01:27:18,920
You know this, I know this.

1569
01:27:18,920 --> 01:27:21,920
I think that was actually a good solid topic.

1570
01:27:21,920 --> 01:27:24,920
But I don't think Brock Pertti is a game manager though.

1571
01:27:24,920 --> 01:27:30,920
So I kind of go with your saying a little bit to where if these podcasters are making

1572
01:27:30,920 --> 01:27:36,920
a big, like they have responsibility to inform themselves and to have informed takes.

1573
01:27:36,920 --> 01:27:41,920
That doesn't mean that their takes can't be unique and their takes can't be hot.

1574
01:27:41,920 --> 01:27:44,920
They just got to have non-stupid takes, right?

1575
01:27:44,920 --> 01:27:45,920
Thank you.

1576
01:27:45,920 --> 01:27:46,920
Thank you.

1577
01:27:46,920 --> 01:27:47,920
Yeah, yeah.

1578
01:27:47,920 --> 01:27:48,920
Okay.

1579
01:27:48,920 --> 01:27:49,920
I understand what you're going from now.

1580
01:27:49,920 --> 01:27:50,920
I understand.

1581
01:27:50,920 --> 01:27:55,920
Because like whenever I heard Gilbert Rimas was like, okay, I think the players should

1582
01:27:55,920 --> 01:28:00,920
take over and make the new media instead of like these ESPN reporters and stuff.

1583
01:28:00,920 --> 01:28:06,920
It's kind of hard to do that because you're going to have your own personal bias.

1584
01:28:06,920 --> 01:28:11,920
Because let's just say Paul Pierce gets on his podcast because I know KJ, Paul Pierce

1585
01:28:11,920 --> 01:28:12,920
got a podcast.

1586
01:28:12,920 --> 01:28:16,920
Let's just say Paul Pierce is like, oh man, I don't think LeBron, let's just say LeBron

1587
01:28:16,920 --> 01:28:18,920
plays like five more years.

1588
01:28:18,920 --> 01:28:21,920
Oh man, I don't think LeBron is the greatest anymore.

1589
01:28:21,920 --> 01:28:23,920
He won seven championships now.

1590
01:28:23,920 --> 01:28:27,920
He's done all this stuff, yada yada, this yada yada, that.

1591
01:28:27,920 --> 01:28:30,920
People are going to get on his ass.

1592
01:28:30,920 --> 01:28:34,920
But if you bring solid evidence of why, that's understandable.

1593
01:28:34,920 --> 01:28:39,920
That Gilbert Rimas quote that I said earlier about baiting Europeans, you can't really

1594
01:28:39,920 --> 01:28:45,920
say that because we have seen guys actually play defense and since he in the BAs in the

1595
01:28:45,920 --> 01:28:53,920
International League, you may have a guy from Taiwan or China or somewhere come in, may

1596
01:28:53,920 --> 01:28:54,920
already have these skills.

1597
01:28:54,920 --> 01:28:56,920
You may never know.

1598
01:28:56,920 --> 01:29:00,920
It was just a dumb take on my opinion, but that's what I personally believe though.

1599
01:29:00,920 --> 01:29:01,920
All right.

1600
01:29:01,920 --> 01:29:05,920
You know, you have takes that are dumb, you have takes that are good.

1601
01:29:05,920 --> 01:29:09,920
You have some takes that are pretty cold and you have some takes that are hot.

1602
01:29:09,920 --> 01:29:11,920
I myself think I have some pretty hot takes.

1603
01:29:11,920 --> 01:29:16,920
That's why this podcast we're naming it the Extra Spicy Pie.

1604
01:29:16,920 --> 01:29:17,920
Oh yeah.

1605
01:29:17,920 --> 01:29:23,920
This last little bit, we're going to go over idols or specific idols, not just in sports

1606
01:29:23,920 --> 01:29:24,920
brand life.

1607
01:29:24,920 --> 01:29:27,920
I'm going to start with mine being number one, Drew Brees.

1608
01:29:27,920 --> 01:29:33,920
I being from Louisiana, seeing that what he's brought to the city of New Orleans, to the

1609
01:29:33,920 --> 01:29:34,920
state of Louisiana.

1610
01:29:34,920 --> 01:29:38,920
He's done some amazing things on and off the field.

1611
01:29:38,920 --> 01:29:44,920
Another one I think, Michael Jordan, I think he's an extremely hardworking NBA player.

1612
01:29:44,920 --> 01:29:50,920
In my opinion, the GOAT, but I know that's a hot topic as of right now.

1613
01:29:50,920 --> 01:29:52,920
Dwayne Wade.

1614
01:29:52,920 --> 01:29:55,920
The reason why I got into Heat fandom is Dwayne Wade.

1615
01:29:55,920 --> 01:29:58,920
He's done a lot for the city of Miami.

1616
01:29:58,920 --> 01:30:02,920
And honestly, he's just my idol because he's on my favorite team.

1617
01:30:02,920 --> 01:30:04,920
And people are going to be like that.

1618
01:30:04,920 --> 01:30:09,920
Their favorite player on their favorite team is going to be their idol just because it's

1619
01:30:09,920 --> 01:30:11,920
on their favorite team.

1620
01:30:11,920 --> 01:30:13,920
You know what I mean?

1621
01:30:13,920 --> 01:30:16,920
So for mine, this is going to be a weird ass list.

1622
01:30:16,920 --> 01:30:19,920
I know you're going to be looking at me like weird ass list.

1623
01:30:19,920 --> 01:30:20,920
Okay.

1624
01:30:20,920 --> 01:30:23,920
So I got three people in mine.

1625
01:30:23,920 --> 01:30:25,920
One is Aaron Rodgers.

1626
01:30:25,920 --> 01:30:28,920
Before you're like, hold the front door, hold the hold up.

1627
01:30:28,920 --> 01:30:29,920
Why Aaron Rodgers?

1628
01:30:29,920 --> 01:30:31,920
You're going to do a darkness retreat?

1629
01:30:31,920 --> 01:30:33,920
Yeah, I'm going to do a darkness retreat.

1630
01:30:33,920 --> 01:30:34,920
You don't have to be in this podcast.

1631
01:30:34,920 --> 01:30:35,920
You have to be in the dark.

1632
01:30:35,920 --> 01:30:38,920
I'm going to do a two day darkness retreat from school.

1633
01:30:38,920 --> 01:30:44,920
So I say Aaron Rodgers because he actually cares.

1634
01:30:44,920 --> 01:30:47,920
Like he tries to do good.

1635
01:30:47,920 --> 01:30:52,920
But let's just say that the whole situation in Green Bay, that wasn't really his fault,

1636
01:30:52,920 --> 01:30:55,920
but that was just a shit show in Green Bay.

1637
01:30:55,920 --> 01:31:01,920
But if you watch him like do interviews and like if you watch Hard Knocks this year, it

1638
01:31:01,920 --> 01:31:05,920
shows that he cares about like his team in general.

1639
01:31:05,920 --> 01:31:07,920
Like he actually genuinely tries to win.

1640
01:31:07,920 --> 01:31:10,920
So Aaron Rodgers is one of them.

1641
01:31:10,920 --> 01:31:14,920
Number two, I'm going to go to the UFC real quick.

1642
01:31:14,920 --> 01:31:16,920
I like Dustin Poirier.

1643
01:31:16,920 --> 01:31:18,920
I like he's from Lafayette.

1644
01:31:18,920 --> 01:31:22,920
I like how he had to work his way up to get to the UFC.

1645
01:31:22,920 --> 01:31:26,920
He dominated, hard working dude.

1646
01:31:26,920 --> 01:31:28,920
So I like Dustin a lot.

1647
01:31:28,920 --> 01:31:31,920
Dustin, great guy overall.

1648
01:31:31,920 --> 01:31:34,920
Number three, Brandon Ingram.

1649
01:31:34,920 --> 01:31:37,920
Brandon Ingram is as silent as a mouse.

1650
01:31:37,920 --> 01:31:38,920
Let me explain.

1651
01:31:38,920 --> 01:31:40,920
He is as silent as a mouse.

1652
01:31:40,920 --> 01:31:44,920
He don't talk shit except when people talk shit back to him.

1653
01:31:44,920 --> 01:31:46,920
He is silent as a mouse.

1654
01:31:46,920 --> 01:31:48,920
Extremely hard working dude.

1655
01:31:48,920 --> 01:31:50,920
He's willing to put the work in.

1656
01:31:50,920 --> 01:31:52,920
And that's the kind of like person I kind of am.

1657
01:31:52,920 --> 01:31:55,920
I kind of, if someone starts to talk shit back to me.

1658
01:31:55,920 --> 01:31:58,920
I like to be a non-winner like Brandon Ingram is.

1659
01:31:58,920 --> 01:32:00,920
Okay, hold the fuck up.

1660
01:32:00,920 --> 01:32:01,920
Hold the fuck up.

1661
01:32:01,920 --> 01:32:03,920
He doesn't want anything.

1662
01:32:03,920 --> 01:32:05,920
Okay.

1663
01:32:05,920 --> 01:32:07,920
Hold the fuck up.

1664
01:32:07,920 --> 01:32:09,920
He got traded to New Orleans.

1665
01:32:09,920 --> 01:32:11,920
But he put in the work to be better.

1666
01:32:11,920 --> 01:32:12,920
What would you rather take?

1667
01:32:12,920 --> 01:32:17,920
Would you rather take the Brandon Ingram from New Orleans or the Leipziger?

1668
01:32:17,920 --> 01:32:20,920
Brandon Mayburn in New Orleans for sure.

1669
01:32:20,920 --> 01:32:22,920
I rest my case.

1670
01:32:22,920 --> 01:32:24,920
But you're saying you want to be like him.

1671
01:32:24,920 --> 01:32:28,920
You want to have hard work but also not enough hard work to win.

1672
01:32:28,920 --> 01:32:30,920
I do want hard work but not enough to win.

1673
01:32:30,920 --> 01:32:37,920
But it's kind of hard to win when one of your teams has been injured most of these years.

1674
01:32:37,920 --> 01:32:39,920
But you're the only one producing though.

1675
01:32:39,920 --> 01:32:40,920
That's the thing.

1676
01:32:40,920 --> 01:32:43,920
If you're giving your all in producing and you just can't win.

1677
01:32:43,920 --> 01:32:45,920
That's not on you at that point.

1678
01:32:45,920 --> 01:32:49,920
Like when I went to the playoff game against Phoenix that year.

1679
01:32:49,920 --> 01:32:50,920
BI dropped like 30.

1680
01:32:50,920 --> 01:32:52,920
CJ dropped 20.

1681
01:32:52,920 --> 01:32:54,920
Everybody was actually contributing.

1682
01:32:54,920 --> 01:32:55,920
That's not on BI.

1683
01:32:55,920 --> 01:32:57,920
BI was a hot house foreign dude.

1684
01:32:57,920 --> 01:32:58,920
So you can't really.

1685
01:32:58,920 --> 01:33:02,920
If you want to be that legend, if you want to be that icon, you got to carry.

1686
01:33:02,920 --> 01:33:04,920
I mean look at what LeBron did.

1687
01:33:04,920 --> 01:33:06,920
This is for Cleveland.

1688
01:33:06,920 --> 01:33:08,920
For whatever he said.

1689
01:33:08,920 --> 01:33:10,920
They won the checkmate chip in Cleveland.

1690
01:33:10,920 --> 01:33:11,920
He carried that cows team.

1691
01:33:11,920 --> 01:33:13,920
I wouldn't say carried.

1692
01:33:13,920 --> 01:33:14,920
I mean.

1693
01:33:14,920 --> 01:33:15,920
I wouldn't say carried dog.

1694
01:33:15,920 --> 01:33:17,920
You had Prine, Kevin Love.

1695
01:33:17,920 --> 01:33:21,920
You had Prine, Kevin Love and you had Prine, Kyrie.

1696
01:33:21,920 --> 01:33:23,920
That is healthy.

1697
01:33:23,920 --> 01:33:29,920
Well the year before or after he was without Kyrie.

1698
01:33:29,920 --> 01:33:31,920
And you were still able to take them to the finals.

1699
01:33:31,920 --> 01:33:33,920
That's the best.

1700
01:33:33,920 --> 01:33:35,920
I like that version of carry.

1701
01:33:35,920 --> 01:33:36,920
The 2018 dance.

1702
01:33:36,920 --> 01:33:39,920
That's a form of carry.

1703
01:33:39,920 --> 01:33:42,920
But I mean there's nothing he could have done about that either way.

1704
01:33:42,920 --> 01:33:44,920
But I mean teams do try to carry though.

1705
01:33:44,920 --> 01:33:45,920
That's the thing.

1706
01:33:45,920 --> 01:33:47,920
But that's also the point of playing team ball.

1707
01:33:47,920 --> 01:33:49,920
If you play better team ball.

1708
01:33:49,920 --> 01:33:50,920
You're going to win.

1709
01:33:50,920 --> 01:33:51,920
It's a team sport everyone.

1710
01:33:51,920 --> 01:33:53,920
Basketball is a team sport.

1711
01:33:53,920 --> 01:33:57,920
I mean maybe not the most team sport.

1712
01:33:57,920 --> 01:34:01,920
Because football is very much a team sport.

1713
01:34:01,920 --> 01:34:06,920
You can't just have one guy that's going to get you 80% of your wins in football.

1714
01:34:06,920 --> 01:34:08,920
You just can't talk shit to the O-line.

1715
01:34:08,920 --> 01:34:11,920
And then not expect to get sacked the very next play.

1716
01:34:11,920 --> 01:34:13,920
We all work together.

1717
01:34:13,920 --> 01:34:14,920
You all bring each other up.

1718
01:34:14,920 --> 01:34:16,920
Do all this amazing stuff.

1719
01:34:16,920 --> 01:34:25,920
But in basketball you can't have one superstar player that's going to carry your team to at least 50, 45 wins or something.

1720
01:34:25,920 --> 01:34:26,920
That can happen.

1721
01:34:26,920 --> 01:34:29,920
You know with the Bronco and the Cavs in 2018.

1722
01:34:29,920 --> 01:34:31,920
He really did carry that team.

1723
01:34:31,920 --> 01:34:36,920
You have I mean Giannis, Nicola Jokic.

1724
01:34:36,920 --> 01:34:37,920
I know they have help around them.

1725
01:34:37,920 --> 01:34:41,920
But they're still to a large part carrying their teams.

1726
01:34:41,920 --> 01:34:43,920
I think that's possible in the NBA.

1727
01:34:43,920 --> 01:34:45,920
Not so much in football.

1728
01:34:45,920 --> 01:34:47,920
Not so much in baseball.

1729
01:34:47,920 --> 01:34:48,920
Or hockey.

1730
01:34:48,920 --> 01:34:51,920
Or soccer to that much extent.

1731
01:34:51,920 --> 01:34:53,920
You agree Evan?

1732
01:34:53,920 --> 01:34:54,920
I agree.

1733
01:34:54,920 --> 01:34:55,920
I absolutely do agree.

1734
01:34:55,920 --> 01:34:56,920
Nice.

1735
01:34:56,920 --> 01:35:00,920
But overall that's our idols.

1736
01:35:00,920 --> 01:35:01,920
That's what we...

1737
01:35:01,920 --> 01:35:04,920
This was our very first introduction episode.

1738
01:35:04,920 --> 01:35:08,920
I really do hope y'all like the Extra Spicy Pod.

1739
01:35:08,920 --> 01:35:11,920
And will continue to listen to the Extra Spicy Pod.

1740
01:35:11,920 --> 01:35:14,920
I'm Evan and I am out of here.

1741
01:35:14,920 --> 01:35:16,920
Signing out.

1742
01:35:16,920 --> 01:35:17,920
This is Lainan.

1743
01:35:17,920 --> 01:35:18,920
Thank y'all for listening.

1744
01:35:18,920 --> 01:35:19,920
I hope y'all like it.

1745
01:35:19,920 --> 01:35:20,920
Like Evan said.

1746
01:35:20,920 --> 01:35:26,920
I hope y'all agree that the Miami Heat are better than the New Orleans Pelicans.

1747
01:35:26,920 --> 01:35:29,920
With that being said.

1748
01:35:29,920 --> 01:35:44,920
Adios.
