1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:17,000
I'm going to be doing my week 22 recap. I'll give you the players of the week. Also the

2
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:24,240
players, coaches and rookies of the month of March. Also some injury news, fines and

3
00:00:24,240 --> 00:00:30,760
ejections, including Draymond Green, of course. And also I got some fire for

4
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:36,480
Emmanuel Achu and Jason Whitlist. At least that's what I call them. So just sit

5
00:00:36,480 --> 00:00:40,280
back, relax and enjoy the show.

6
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:53,920
Okay guys, it's your boy GD back with all things basketball with GD podcast and

7
00:00:53,920 --> 00:01:04,040
guys, this is episode 199. So we have this one and then of course the big 200. Of

8
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:10,440
course I'll be advertising that on IG and in other places. Yeah, this is going to

9
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:17,120
be a week 22 recap really quick. There's some news here, but there's a couple of

10
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:22,000
other things I want to address as well. So without any further delay, let's get

11
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:28,120
right into it. So as we do every single recap, we'll talk about our players of the

12
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:36,000
week and the player of the week for the West, Luca Donkage. He's been on a tear

13
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:44,200
as of late guys. He went 4-0 for the week. Of those wins all on the road guys. At

14
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:52,320
Sacramento twice at Utah and then at Houston. His team got wins there. For

15
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:59,320
Luca for that week, 32 and a half points, 11 rebounds, 9 and a half assists and

16
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:07,000
nearly two steals is what he averaged. Shooting from the field over 51% and

17
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:13,800
also from 3-point range. Actually it's the exact same percentage. So wow. And then

18
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:22,040
of his 28 free throws, he only made 19. So he missed 9. Not the perfect week in

19
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:29,440
that regard, but still Luca Donkage carrying his Dallas Mavericks and guys

20
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:33,360
they're playing well and this is the time of year you want to play well. So

21
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:38,080
they're putting themselves amongst those top 16s the way they're playing and

22
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:44,600
we'll see if they can continue that pace down the stretch. And then for the Eastern

23
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:51,040
Conference, Dejante Murray for the Atlanta Hawks. He's been carrying the low

24
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:58,360
lately since they're without Trey Young. So for the week his team went 3-1. They

25
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:04,640
beat Boston twice guys including the game they were down 30. Wow. And then they

26
00:03:04,640 --> 00:03:10,720
beat Portland as well. Their one loss was 2 Milwaukee. Murray for the week average

27
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:17,600
over 28 points over 10 assists and nearly six rebounds. He shot it from the

28
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:27,120
field nearly 44%. He's not as proficient from 3 about 32.6% and then he didn't

29
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:32,440
shoot a lot of free throws for the week guys. He only attempted 10 and made 6.

30
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:37,880
But Dejante Murray, I tell you, he's fighting these clonies trying to keep

31
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:43,880
his team within that play-in position doing a good job especially this week

32
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:50,840
guys. So guys that's your players of the week. Now let's talk about the players

33
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:55,360
for the month for the month of March. Actually it'll be your players for the

34
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:59,760
month, your rookies for the month, and your coaches for the month. And in the

35
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:05,120
West, the guy we just talked about, Lucas Donkage, his team went 11 and 4 for the

36
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:12,240
week. He averaged again 32 and a half points over 10 rebounds per game over 10

37
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:17,800
assists per game. So Luca averaging a triple double for the month of March and

38
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:23,800
his team playing pretty good. So Luca getting things done for his Dallas

39
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:30,160
Mavericks. And then in the Eastern Conference, my guy Jalen Brunson who had

40
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:37,160
a fantastic month of March. The team went 9 and 5. He's averaging nearly 29 points

41
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:44,600
per game, nearly 6 assists and just about 3 rebounds for the New York Knicks for

42
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:50,240
the month of March. And included in that is that 61 point game that he had at

43
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:55,480
San Antonio, the game in which they lost by the way. But Jalen Brunson, I tell you

44
00:04:55,480 --> 00:05:00,960
what man, with all the players that's missing guys like Julius Randall, guys

45
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:07,000
like Ogeanna Nobby in and out of the lineup, guys like Mitchell Robinson, Jalen

46
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:12,520
has went above and beyond the call of duty for the New York Knicks and kudos to

47
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:18,480
him for that and keeping them amongst those top three to five teams in the

48
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:23,360
Eastern Conference. It's been a battle guys. Everybody's like lumped together but

49
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:27,840
somehow the Knicks are surviving with all the losses that they have in terms of

50
00:05:27,840 --> 00:05:34,160
players. Guys are stepping up like Josh Hart, Dante DeVincenzo, Isaiah

51
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:38,840
Hartenstein, Deuce McBride now is catching fire so that's the kind of

52
00:05:38,840 --> 00:05:44,200
support Jalen needs for this team to keep going and make a strong finish down

53
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:50,480
the stretch. So again Jalen Brunson, player of the month in March for the

54
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:55,160
Eastern Conference. Alright so we'll look at the rookies next, rookies of the

55
00:05:55,160 --> 00:06:00,680
month. In the West, who else can it be but Victor Wimbayama for the San Antonio

56
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:07,720
Spurs averaging over 21 points per game, 10 and a half rebounds, nearly four blocks

57
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:14,480
a game guys and then over a steal per game and included in his month in that

58
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:21,280
same game that Jalen Brunson dropped to 61. He had 40 points, 20 rebounds and seven

59
00:06:21,280 --> 00:06:27,520
assists in that game. So Victor Wimbayama, the runaway rookie of the year in my eyes

60
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:33,240
having a sensational month of March so Wimbayama getting it done. And then for

61
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:38,360
the East, Brandon Miller who's starting to see steady playing time for the

62
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:47,200
Charlotte Hornets averaging 18.6 points per game over five rebounds and 2.6

63
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:52,040
assists. He's getting to play now, he's getting a bit of confidence there for the

64
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:56,760
Hornets. Hornets with not much to play for but at least they're able to

65
00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:01,640
develop their young talent guys like Brandon Miller. Coaches of the month,

66
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:07,280
let's start with M.A. Udoka for the Houston Rockets. The Houston Rockets have

67
00:07:07,280 --> 00:07:12,360
been trying to climb guys, they're trying to climb into that playing spot. They went

68
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:19,080
13 and 2 for the month including the 11 game Winstreet guys. So M.A. Udoka has

69
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:23,480
those guys playing well and this is in the light of them missing their best

70
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:28,640
player I think, Operin Sengun who went down with the knee injury. Let's be

71
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:34,120
honest we know the man can coach so this kind of run isn't that surprising. The

72
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,440
only thing that makes it surprising is that he's doing it without his best

73
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:41,920
player. You know depending how they finish this year even if they're on the

74
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,960
outside looking in I think things are looking up in terms of the Houston

75
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:51,320
Rockets for next year. In the East just the guy coaching the best team in the

76
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:57,880
NBA right now and actually Udoka's replacement Joe Missoula for the Boston

77
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:04,880
Celtics. The Celtics went 12 and 4 for the month including a 9 game Winstreet for

78
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:10,760
them. So Joe Missoula, you hear him catch some kind of flak oh they shoot too many

79
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:15,680
three-point shots and so forth but listen man he got this team humming right

80
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:21,400
now that's wrecked throughout the NBA and they're playing well. The only thing

81
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:26,680
is come play all time can they finish the deal that'll be the question because

82
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:31,280
they'll be the overall favorite to win at all guys so we'll see if they can

83
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:36,800
cash that check come June in the NBA finals. Alright guys so that's your

84
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:42,320
rookies your players your coaches for the month of March now let's talk injury

85
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:47,120
news guys. Mitchell Robinson for the New York Knicks I was just talking about him

86
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:54,520
he returns to the lineup guys on March 27th in a road win at Toronto and the

87
00:08:54,520 --> 00:09:01,520
score was 145 to 101 one of the highest scoring Nick games in their history.

88
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:08,480
Mitchell Robinson he missed 50 games with that ankle injury that he had and in

89
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:13,560
the game he played 12 minutes scored eight points grabbed two rebounds had

90
00:09:13,560 --> 00:09:19,880
two blocks but guys then after this game he missed the next two games at San

91
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:25,440
Antonio and actually at home playing the Oklahoma City Thunder. Mitchell Robinson

92
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:31,840
working himself back into playing shape slowly but surely but a body that they

93
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:37,120
need guys especially gonna need come play off time so they're working them in

94
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:40,840
slowly which is the right thing to do they're being cautious which is the

95
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:45,840
right thing to do. I would say he'll see some games that's for sure they'll just

96
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:50,920
be very cautious and treat them with kid gloves so that's that bit of news.

97
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:58,000
Joel M. B. guys for the Philadelphia 76ers he's due to return during week 23

98
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:02,840
this week here from that knee injury that he sustained he should be debuting

99
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:08,000
this week guys I expect the same thing like with Mitchell Robinson for them to

100
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:12,920
treat him with kid gloves be very cautious not overwork him because

101
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:17,920
Philadelphia right now they're within the playing spot looking to rise and get

102
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:23,480
back into that sixth spot so they're gonna be very very very cautious with and

103
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,880
be because they're gonna need them come play off time so you don't want to

104
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:30,680
overwork him leading up to that but you want to at least let him get his legs

105
00:10:30,680 --> 00:10:35,400
under him with some playing time. Trey Young of the Atlanta Hawks I was just

106
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:40,560
talking about him he's still rehabbing from that finger injury guys and right

107
00:10:40,560 --> 00:10:47,240
now there's still no timetable in terms of his return if I had to gauge maybe

108
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:53,400
before years in and then once they hit that play in I would expect him to be

109
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:59,920
part of that playing situation but as of now no timetable for Trey Young with the

110
00:10:59,920 --> 00:11:06,520
finger injury. Lamello Ball guys for the Charlotte Hornets he is shut down for

111
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:10,600
the rest of the season guys with that ankle injury remember guys he's been

112
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:14,840
out of line up pretty much since All-Star break prior to it with that

113
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:20,560
ankle injury they're being very cautious with him so this will be your second

114
00:11:20,560 --> 00:11:25,480
season where he's shut down right now the Charlotte Hornets are kind of in a

115
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:30,320
quagmire guys because here's your franchise player and he has to play

116
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:35,080
much the past couple of years so I understand they gave him that big money

117
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:41,320
his rookie extension but they're gonna have to especially in this off season

118
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:46,720
what to do in terms of ball and his health you hope it's not a situation

119
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:51,400
like his brother Lonzo where Lonzo he hasn't even played in a couple of

120
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:57,480
seasons so yes Charlotte has some heavy thinking to do come this off season in

121
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:02,200
terms of Lamello Ball so we'll see what happens there then the last one I'll

122
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:07,360
talk about is Malik Monk remember guys I talked about Kevin Herter him being out

123
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:13,080
for the season in the playoffs with the shoulder injury now Malik Monk is gonna

124
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:18,840
be out for the six weeks with a spring MCL right now things are getting thin over

125
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:24,120
there with the Sacramento Kings especially in terms of shooting guard you

126
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:28,320
might have to use a guy like Davion Mitchell to kind of plug into that

127
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:35,080
position there yeah it's not looking good guys in terms of Monk and Herter by

128
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:40,520
this rate he should make it back for playoffs I would think but yeah it's

129
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:45,400
not a good situation guys Mike Brown he'll figure things out over there so

130
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:49,880
we'll see what happens with Sacramento all right guys so that is your injury

131
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:54,880
news let us move on to fines and ejections Kelly

132
00:12:54,880 --> 00:13:00,880
Ubre of the Philadelphia 76ers along with his coach Nick Nurse fined by the

133
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:07,800
league $50,000 and this is for verbally abusing the referees after a home loss

134
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:16,000
to the LA Clippers 108 to 107 after a non-call on Ubre as he was driving down

135
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:21,400
the lane and then Kawaii he hits the game-winning basket and then Ubre with

136
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:28,360
another chance goes in he's unable to cash in and it has so the tirade he had

137
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:34,800
let's say he used the B word very effortlessly and very generously let's

138
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:40,680
put it that way towards the referee so for that he got fine and Nick Nurse he

139
00:13:40,680 --> 00:13:47,280
was hot and livid and he addressed the refs after the game as well but I saw

140
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:51,960
where Nick Nurse was trying to hold Ubre back so I don't understand why he got

141
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:58,000
such a huge fine but again guys I point to the refereeing on the season overall

142
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:04,360
it's been bad guys and I saw this at the end and I'm like come on what are we

143
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:10,520
doing here especially I want to say but you expect the home team to get some

144
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:15,840
kind of at least leeway when it comes to these kind of calls but that's not even

145
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:20,200
happening guys I see it with my nicks the referee and it's been bad it's been

146
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:26,880
bad all year and and there's really no explanation as to why we can speculate

147
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:30,600
till the cows come home but it's been bad and it's got to be addressed in the

148
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:36,520
offseason it really does because it's been subpar at best as I echo many times

149
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:44,840
on this podcast Victor Wimbayama he got fine $25,000 for get this tossing the

150
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:52,040
ball into the stands after a home win 130 to 126 over my nicks and I saw the

151
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:57,240
play it's what he did was he basically threw the ball to a fan and he got fine

152
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:03,800
for it now I'm like come on is this what we doing the league is so desperate for

153
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:09,240
money that you're gonna find this kid at his elation on beating the nicks a

154
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:15,000
playoff team by the way he's so happy you know he grabs the ball and then he

155
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:22,320
tosses it to a fan come on so they give Victor Wimbayama the fine I'm sure he in

156
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:26,240
his mind was like puzzled you know being from France I'm sure they do that

157
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:31,640
over there all the time but over here it's frowned upon go figure and then the

158
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:38,920
last thing I'll talk about your buddy in mind Dremon green he was ejected with

159
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:43,960
four minutes into the game a game that they played on the road goat and state

160
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:48,760
versus the Orlando Magic a very good team this year guys I've talked about

161
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:55,160
them on my last episode but Dremon gets ejected after arguing with the ref over a

162
00:15:55,160 --> 00:16:00,160
call that was made on Steph Curry so he's drawing back and forth and the thing

163
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:04,920
with Dremon he doesn't have an off switch when it comes to those sort of

164
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:11,440
things he's got no okay my plea is not being met or heard so I gotta draw back

165
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:16,160
but he keeps going he keeps going even Steph was right there when he was

166
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:20,720
drawing and then the refs just had enough that mean he gave him the first

167
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:26,440
tech he keeps going he gives him the second tech and then you see Steph

168
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:32,800
Curry visibly upset that dream on got tossed some people say he was crying you

169
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:38,000
want to say that fine but you can see he was not thrilled with the fact that

170
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:43,240
dream on was tossed from the game a game that they had to scratch and claw and

171
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:48,320
win on the road but it would have been nice to have Dremon there to kind of

172
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:54,160
make these struggle for the win a bit easier if you have them on the floor

173
00:16:54,160 --> 00:17:00,560
and then I saw this clip where I guess somebody picked it up after the game the

174
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:05,240
teams going in the tunnel Steph's going in the tunnel to the locker room and one

175
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,600
of the first people to meet him is Dremon with a smile on his face like

176
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:15,440
yeah you know social media is gonna be like yeah where were you or stuff like

177
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:23,520
that and then Dremon gets on his podcast of Dremon green podcast and he says he

178
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:28,640
knows the team needs him he know they need him on the floor they know that he

179
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:33,800
shouldn't be getting himself ejected so it was kind of a it wasn't even

180
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:39,520
apology it was like I know what I'm supposed to do I didn't do it let's move

181
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:45,320
on and again you know how I feel about this whole situation with Dremon

182
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:52,840
the accountability where is it in this situation so when you see a guy you go

183
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:57,800
to war with Steph Curry upset the way you've seen him upset I'm sure he saw

184
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:04,400
the clips of Steph's reaction you got to be a little more I want to say sensitive

185
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:10,840
but you gotta be able to read the room Dremon your antics are not good and some

186
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:14,680
people say oh at least he didn't fight somebody or kick somebody or this and

187
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:20,760
that but still it's the idea that you are not there for your team that's the

188
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:25,800
problem dream on you weren't there for your team when they needed you it's these

189
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:30,720
sort of things that you don't do your team any favors when you do that and

190
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:34,520
of course Steve Curry he'll say he should know better and stuff like that but

191
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:40,000
again the accountability is where I rest at you gotta have better awareness

192
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:44,600
that's all I'm saying so I'll just leave it alone there all right so that's

193
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:49,960
your finds and ejections guys let's talk the Montess uponus who's having a

194
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:57,160
pretty historical season on the low guys and a guy who was somehow omitted from

195
00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:02,960
the All-Star game which is a crime within itself he should be all NBA he

196
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:07,040
should make one of those three teams whether it be first second or third he

197
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:12,600
should make it he's having that kind of season guys and he now has the longest

198
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:20,200
double-double streak in the post merger era with 54 and counting and guys he

199
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:26,280
could average when all the setting done over 20 points 13 rebounds and eight

200
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:32,400
assists which would put him in the company of a guy named will Chamberlain as

201
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:37,840
the only players to do this that's the kind of season that the Montess uponus

202
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:42,320
is having very quietly hey listen I believe he's still leading the league

203
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:47,960
and rebounding so he's having a fantastic year guys and it's a story

204
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:53,200
that's not really being talked about but he's having a fantastic year and hey

205
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:58,360
kudos to the Montess if he can keep this up and those averages on that same

206
00:19:58,360 --> 00:20:03,000
plane where he's in the will Chamberlain conversation that's pretty rarefied

207
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:09,960
air guys so definitely kudos to him for that all right guys so that is your NBA

208
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:15,560
stuff I wanted to touch on two issues that has come up in light of women's

209
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:20,280
college basketball you know I've been talking about that a lot lately and it's

210
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:24,520
kind of spilling into this week but I have to address it guys

211
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:33,160
Emanuel at you him he goes after Angel Reese for her post game comments so let

212
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:39,120
me lay it out in the post game you know they do the interviews afterwards they'll

213
00:20:39,120 --> 00:20:43,000
talk to the players first and then they'll talk to the coach afterwards so

214
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:47,560
there was three players there of course Angel Reese obviously Flage Johnson and

215
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:55,000
Haley van Lief here's how I played out guys Flage and Haley were asked about

216
00:20:55,000 --> 00:21:00,320
Angel Reese as a teammate and both came out there and defended her and saying

217
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:05,080
that people don't know the real her what she's like behind the scenes and so forth

218
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:10,760
how she's a supportive teammate how she encourages others and all those sort of

219
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:15,920
things and really you know big in her up and to which Angel sitting there of

220
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:20,720
course she's gonna get emotional about it and two reasons you got your fellow

221
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:25,360
teammate standing up for you which you love and this is gonna be your last game

222
00:21:25,360 --> 00:21:33,000
in an LSU uniform so the combination of those two things and then the reporter

223
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:38,920
afterwards another reporter that is asks is her how do you feel when you hear

224
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:43,840
your teammate stand up for you like that that's when she goes into what she was

225
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:47,920
talking about how you know the things she gone through the tough years she had

226
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:54,720
the death threats she received for being the villain the sexualization which is a

227
00:21:54,720 --> 00:22:00,640
whole another issue and vile and disgusting so that's why she gave the

228
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:06,560
comment she gave but you got people like Emmanuel Achu who I call it lazy

229
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:11,760
journalism guys because you'll take a clip and listen to that and run with it

230
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:17,760
without hearing the whole totality of why she said what she said so this is

231
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:23,720
Emmanuel being lazy listening to a clip and then giving your racial neutral

232
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:29,160
gender neutral opinion to a subject you're not really knowledgeable about

233
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:34,560
you're not knowledgeable about it you take it and you run with it and by the

234
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:38,560
way your side stepped the fact that she talked about receiving death threats in

235
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:43,040
the sexualization you ignore all that to attack the young lady and that's wrong

236
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:49,400
that is wrong and you needed to be called out joy Taylor got on you right

237
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:55,720
there Bravo joy Taylor Taylor Rooks one of the people I respect in the field of

238
00:22:55,720 --> 00:23:01,960
sports great interviewer she went after you my guy Ryan Clark he went after you

239
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:07,960
Matt Barnes he went after you and rightfully so you deserve it it's

240
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:13,520
ill-informed and it's lazy journalism to take a clip and run with it and then

241
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:19,520
you come with this sort of me a culpa of people that respectfully disagree which

242
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:24,360
is all hogwash anyway you know why you're really wrong in this situation

243
00:23:24,360 --> 00:23:28,960
because you get a guy like Jason Whitlist to join you in that nonsense

244
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:33,520
that's when you know you're on the wrong side of this so you should be a shame

245
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:39,680
of yourself for that take you should be ashamed here this young lady is playing

246
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:46,200
basketball hooping is she a bit brash of course why like a Dalek down a bit I

247
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:52,320
would like that sure but she's being her authentic self and I can knock that I

248
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:57,040
can't especially if it's getting results and it got results their team got all

249
00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:02,680
way to the lead eight it wasn't like this is a 500 team guys so for you to

250
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:08,640
come out the way you came out is 100% wrong and you owe her apology to be

251
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:13,280
honest with you your old her apology so that's all I'll say on that but you're

252
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:19,040
wrong man you're a chew you're wrong and then speaking of Jason Whitlist that's

253
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:24,320
who I call him about a few weeks ago and he talks about how the establishment

254
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:30,920
wants Dawn Staley to win just to disparage her and what she has done she

255
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:35,080
has her team undefeated in the NCAA tournaments they were undefeated last

256
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:40,200
year too by the way until they got knocked off in the final four so here you

257
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:45,320
have Dawn Staley with a accomplished team that she's had for many years now

258
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:50,600
over there in South Carolina a program she revitalized from the ground up and

259
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:56,600
you want to take this see I know what you're doing it's everything to a cape

260
00:24:56,600 --> 00:25:00,560
for a certain segment of the population that's what you're doing you want to

261
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:05,640
cape for them and you want to buck dance for them and that's wrong Dawn Staley's

262
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:10,720
one of the best recruiters amongst the college coaches her players believe in

263
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:16,040
her they trust in her and then you have some people say oh but she only recruits

264
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:22,080
black players last time I checked Chloe kits is a starter she's white and a

265
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:28,000
major contributor to that team so enough with the nonsense already what are we

266
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:33,200
even talking about here but you have a audience you want to cater to you have

267
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:38,720
a platform you want to run and you're as wrong as two left shoes so that's all

268
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:44,160
I'll say in regard to him as well alright guys that's enough of these tirades but

269
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:48,680
I had to get that stuff on my chest cuz it just doesn't sit well with me and

270
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:53,760
when these situations arise somebody has to say something about it so yeah I

271
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:58,760
guess it may as well be me alright guys so that is it for this episode and

272
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:04,640
