Speaker 1: Well, well, well we're back again as so's the NBA
Speaker 1: and I I gotta read this word for word. A
Speaker 1: super producer Jabari has it written here you probably the
Speaker 1: Valley of the Sun officially has a new superstar that
Speaker 1: is beautiful. Just a lot of Heaven's based wording. I'll
Speaker 1: like it. I'll like it, solo, very solo. Janni's has
Speaker 1: some thoughts and advice for k D and others. Starts
Speaker 1: thinking about linking up the form super teams. Plus the
Speaker 1: Knicks are suddenly the second hottest team in the league.
Speaker 1: We'll discuss that each playoff race with comedian and writer
Speaker 1: Aaron Edwards on today's episode. I'm Jack O'Brien and I'm
Speaker 1: Jabari Davis and this is Miles and Jack got mad boosties. Nice.
Speaker 1: We I mean we basically harmonized on that one. That
Speaker 1: was beautiful. Do you feel about that professional podcasting? Right?
Speaker 1: It's like it's a beautiful thing, Aaron, Thank you so much.
Speaker 1: Crooked media writer comedian from Gary, Indiana. Uh, you were
Speaker 1: a fan of someone named Michael Jordan when you were
Speaker 1: coming up? Tell me about that that. I didn't think
Speaker 1: he was gonna start with that one, but yeah, I
Speaker 1: thought we were going straight to the second one. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm from Gary, Indiana. It's like forty five minutes from Chicago,
Speaker 1: so yeah, like it's just it's pretty much Chicago. They
Speaker 1: call it each Chicago out there. It's just it was
Speaker 1: before Chicago went crazy. But yeah, like we grew up
Speaker 1: out there and it was just a huge Bulls place.
Speaker 1: Like even before we moved here. I had all the
Speaker 1: Championship T shirts. We had the Bulls T shirts with
Speaker 1: the rings, like the ones that were the three rings.
Speaker 1: We had the ones. Oh yeah, we are the two rings.
Speaker 1: Like we had all that. We went to Universal Studios
Speaker 1: dressed in those shirts like we really we really did.
Speaker 1: You have the one that was like all the caricatures
Speaker 1: of the players, like the championship team with the big
Speaker 1: cartoon heads. Yeah we had that one. I had the
Speaker 1: ones with them as babies, like yeah, I underrated having
Speaker 1: players grown grown men drawn as babies. And then you
Speaker 1: also had the penny fit. Oh yeah. The penny thing
Speaker 1: was just it was the game changer, Like it was
Speaker 1: the middle of the nineties penny like it was a
Speaker 1: hand me down too, like just do it from our church.
Speaker 1: Her son grew too big and he gave it to me,
Speaker 1: and I wore it like it was brand new, Like
Speaker 1: it was the freshest thing I ever seen. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: was just it was Penny, Like it was pretty much
Speaker 1: the second coming of magic, Like he was cool. He
Speaker 1: had little Penny, like the commercial was like all of it,
Speaker 1: Like everything about Penny was just cool and I wasn't.
Speaker 1: I wore it as much as I could. My mom
Speaker 1: would have to be like, no, no, yesterday you did this,
Speaker 1: Like no, we're not doing it again, Like she had
Speaker 1: to physically like make me not wear it every day.
Speaker 1: There was a moment in the nineties where Penny was
Speaker 1: the most exciting player in the NBA, Like, in my opinion,
Speaker 1: he was just like the coolest He had the coolest
Speaker 1: ad campaign, he had, like the coolest name. He just
Speaker 1: seemed awesome, and like, I feel like it's kind of
Speaker 1: faded because his career didn't necessarily like follow the path
Speaker 1: everybody was hoping for it too. But that was a
Speaker 1: real moment. I mean both his names were cool, like
Speaker 1: Penny and Anthrony go kind of heart like I would.
Speaker 1: If you're playing the what if game, Penny hardaway if
Speaker 1: he doesn't get injured, you know, early on. What's his
Speaker 1: career look like? I think Kevin Jack win one? Okay, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean they lost because Nick Anderson can't make a
Speaker 1: free throw, Like he just had to make one and
Speaker 1: he missed what four in a row? Like, I think
Speaker 1: if it was enough what ifs to be able to
Speaker 1: say that, they could have probably won one. Does a
Speaker 1: better hot take than mine, I was gonna say. I
Speaker 1: bet he would be pretty good if he didn't get
Speaker 1: don't you? So shall we get onto the celestial based
Speaker 1: superstar in the Valley of the Sun, of course, referring
Speaker 1: to Kevin Durant, who is set to have joined the
Speaker 1: Sons in in game action last night. So you guys
Speaker 1: probably know more about how it looks than we do.
Speaker 1: But I mean, the Suns are already the four seed,
Speaker 1: like they that's shocking. Katie's aside, you guys are blowing
Speaker 1: my mind right now, kidding, And you are joining us
Speaker 1: from two weeks ago, so yeah, you it's a real
Speaker 1: time warp here. But yeah, I don't know. They're four
Speaker 1: games back of the King, so they're probably like gonna
Speaker 1: stick in that four spot or worse. These super teams
Speaker 1: like sometimes take a little while to get going, get
Speaker 1: everything jelling, and they don't have a while to take
Speaker 1: really in this case. So it is interesting. But I
Speaker 1: just I feel very badly for whoever has them in
Speaker 1: the first round, like whether they're the four seed, five seed,
Speaker 1: six seeds, like it doesn't matter. Yeah, that's not gonna
Speaker 1: be nobody's gonna be happy about that. Yeah. I think
Speaker 1: teams usually have a lot more time to figure it out,
Speaker 1: Like twenty games has really pushing it. I think it's
Speaker 1: less than twenty actually, so it's gonna be like nineteen
Speaker 1: eighteen games to figure out before the playoffs, like how
Speaker 1: these dudes played together. But I think just even running
Speaker 1: the same place for Kevin Durant that they run from
Speaker 1: McHale is just gonna work, even if Kevin durrets not
Speaker 1: even like one hundred percent Yet, it's a lot of
Speaker 1: open staff people get and book doesn't have to get
Speaker 1: doubled all the time anymore, which is nice. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a pretty decent plug and
Speaker 1: play thing. But I also think that first round series
Speaker 1: is still gonna be a warm up. By the second
Speaker 1: round series, I think we should probably know what the
Speaker 1: team is. Yeah, so you've seen it's already a four
Speaker 1: gone conclusion that they're going to make it to the
Speaker 1: second round, And yeah, I really do like that was
Speaker 1: the biggest problem with the Sun's last time. It was
Speaker 1: when Book was slow. Where was the where were those
Speaker 1: buckets coming from? Because when the game got close, it
Speaker 1: was really hard. I think Chris Paul went fourteen for
Speaker 1: fourteen one game, but he now he doesn't have to
Speaker 1: do any of that. It was just really tough sometimes
Speaker 1: with how many staggered minutes in the second unit and scoring.
Speaker 1: And now we don't have to We can have Book
Speaker 1: or Katie on the floor at all times, and that's
Speaker 1: gonna be really close. Yeah, And it's pretty wild to
Speaker 1: be saying like it's a foregone conclusion because who they
Speaker 1: would be playing in the first round, like it could
Speaker 1: be like as right now would be the Clippers, who
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people had making a deep run.
Speaker 1: The Mavericks are right there like that, it feels like
Speaker 1: it's going to be one of those two teams probably
Speaker 1: or the Warriors, which I guess that that would be
Speaker 1: a little less surprising to see them just get kind
Speaker 1: of swept aside, because this has been a weird season
Speaker 1: for them, I guess, but yeah, you use the phrase
Speaker 1: plug and play. I feel like Katie is the most
Speaker 1: plug and play superstar that we've seen. Like there's just
Speaker 1: no question that he's going to fit in wherever he goes.
Speaker 1: Like just having a guaranteed bucket is always helpful. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and he even talks about like how much he knows
Speaker 1: book they were in the Olympics together, which I think helps,
Speaker 1: like he knows this game a little bit more. And yeah,
Speaker 1: it's just two dudes. I love the hoop, so I
Speaker 1: think that's kind of like the easy part. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: can run the offenses and do like the picket roles
Speaker 1: and all that, but sooner or later, like in playoffs,
Speaker 1: sometimes it just comes down and needing a bucket. And
Speaker 1: I'd much rather have Katie than not. Yeah, yeah, the
Speaker 1: ultimate bucket. So let's get into the mess a little bit.
Speaker 1: Jannis went on The Daily Show and was basically he
Speaker 1: was asked to talk on KD and his response was,
Speaker 1: you keep joining super teams to win an NBA title,
Speaker 1: how about we work out together. Sometime I thought this
Speaker 1: was going to go in the direction of him being like,
Speaker 1: can you come join me so we could win a title? Together,
Speaker 1: but instead he said, so I can teach you how
Speaker 1: to carry your own team. That is disrespect. This is
Speaker 1: something that we've noticed and talked about on this show throughout,
Speaker 1: like like there was that, like it's never been at
Speaker 1: this level with him talking to another superstar in such
Speaker 1: a highly public thing. There's the Surgeonbacca Cooking Show where
Speaker 1: he said like some of the coldest words to a
Speaker 1: human that he was just like with a smile as always,
Speaker 1: because like that's the thing is, like his general demeanor
Speaker 1: is so friendly that like we assume that he's a
Speaker 1: friendly person and then he just says these things that
Speaker 1: you see people's face fault, like their spirit leads their body. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like he's kind of using up like the good
Speaker 1: I mean, first of all, let me clear us up,
Speaker 1: Like since as a person that has a finger to
Speaker 1: the pulse of the comedy writing and stuff, somebody who
Speaker 1: wrote those jokes for him, he probably couldn't have said it,
Speaker 1: but I know a couple of people that wrote those jokes.
Speaker 1: He didn't say them, but he seemed very happy to
Speaker 1: say those jokes. So yeah, like I think he's kind
Speaker 1: of used up a little bit of it, like the
Speaker 1: good finals run that he had and like all that,
Speaker 1: but I like it. Like at first he kind of
Speaker 1: came off is like this like Encino Man, it was
Speaker 1: like the show cool stuff. He's like, oh, this is
Speaker 1: cool like a PlayStation have you guys tried to hear it?
Speaker 1: But I feel like that's part of it, right, Like
Speaker 1: he didn't he didn't come up in the au game.
Speaker 1: Like he's not like friendly and like in on like
Speaker 1: these relationships that everybody's been cultivating. And he's also like
Speaker 1: he just seems to be like really naively just being like, well,
Speaker 1: I'm the best player in the world, So why wouldn't
Speaker 1: I say this to people I'm better than them? And
Speaker 1: what is he gonna do? He's gonna get mad and
Speaker 1: like beat me. That's I'm better than him, So why
Speaker 1: would it? Why would I worry about that? Look, I'm
Speaker 1: I'm here for mask off, Jannie. Give me supreme players
Speaker 1: talking supreme miss you know what I mean. Give me
Speaker 1: every steph shimmy you can possibly give me. Give me
Speaker 1: Yannis absolutely crushing souls and then smiling about it, like
Speaker 1: after the fact. I'm not one of those guys that
Speaker 1: wants everyone to be humble simply for my comfort. I
Speaker 1: like it with folks are braggadocha, So please bring me
Speaker 1: more of this you honest. You did say before it
Speaker 1: num num num num numb feed me more, Daddy before
Speaker 1: we started recording, which was a little weird, But I
Speaker 1: want to make sure that you everybody heard that. What
Speaker 1: was the thing he said to Grant Williams during the
Speaker 1: All Star break, Yeah, like Adam no again, you know what?
Speaker 1: You know what I'm gonna equate him to. You guys
Speaker 1: are not black Southerners, but I will say if you
Speaker 1: know of any It's like when black Pools from the
Speaker 1: South say bless your heart. They don't really mean that.
Speaker 1: They don't really mean that as a compliment. That means like, oh,
Speaker 1: look at you, You're special like that that is so
Speaker 1: special of you. But yeah, he's sitting it with a
Speaker 1: saying it with a smile. And he's sitting there because
Speaker 1: Grant got in his shot as he was recording and says, hey,
Speaker 1: get your ugly out of the way, but saying it
Speaker 1: with a smile. You know, I'm here for it like
Speaker 1: a Russian accent apparently, Well, you know what, I'm not
Speaker 1: here for the accents. I think it's cooler but it
Speaker 1: comes off wrong that he is learning our customs just
Speaker 1: because like it's still brand new to him. Like when
Speaker 1: I was in high school, Yes, calling your friends ugly
Speaker 1: something you did every single day. Yeah, of course it's
Speaker 1: just like yo, what time are you going to bolag you?
Speaker 1: Or when are you studying for this ugly? Like it
Speaker 1: was just the thing how you do it, But just
Speaker 1: it coming from him, it just comes off a little.
Speaker 1: It hits the ear a little rug, I guess, and
Speaker 1: my people kind of just are like, dang is Yanni's
Speaker 1: kind of mean, but it's good, like he can get
Speaker 1: away with it. I feel like the match of like
Speaker 1: his personality to these words is the most fun example
Speaker 1: of this. Like anybody else, I like he's trying too
Speaker 1: hard or he's like, you know, like going with he's
Speaker 1: trying to be a face or whatever, like you know,
Speaker 1: the bad guy. The like if Embiid started doing this,
Speaker 1: I'd be like, all right, man, tone it down, Like
Speaker 1: I don't with him. It's just yeah, it's like funny. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it just seems silly and lighthearted. Damn also chimed in
Speaker 1: on this subject because everyone's like you stayed in Portland,
Speaker 1: Like what do you have to say about it, and
Speaker 1: he made his quote about Russell Westbrook mainly, which felt
Speaker 1: a little mean. He was like, you look at Russell Westbrook.
Speaker 1: You leave OKAYC for Houston. Then James decided he's leaving.
Speaker 1: Now Russ has traded to DC. Then you get traded
Speaker 1: from DC to the Lakers. Now you're on your fourth
Speaker 1: team in four years, and your second year on the team.
Speaker 1: Everybody is talking about how they should trade you. Now
Speaker 1: you're coming off the bench. This dude is a Hall
Speaker 1: of Famer, an MVP. It's an example that the grass
Speaker 1: isn't always greener. That's true. It also feels like Russell
Speaker 1: Westbrook didn't have any say in any of those trades
Speaker 1: other than the first one, right, And Okasey was going
Speaker 1: to start talking about trying to trade him pretty soon
Speaker 1: if he hadn't asked out, because like his game just
Speaker 1: kind of fell apart in terms of what people were
Speaker 1: looking for from him and like whether you could build
Speaker 1: a winning team around him. It felt like people were
Speaker 1: out on him. And so that's not necessarily Westbrook's fault.
Speaker 1: It's one of those where I don't think he's intentionally
Speaker 1: being disrespectful for you know, towards Westbrook. He's absolutely using
Speaker 1: him as a you know, as a case study and recognizing, hey, look,
Speaker 1: as much as it might have been nice to hop
Speaker 1: on a bandwagon, that's a bit of conjecture. I'm not
Speaker 1: saying that he said that, but it might be nice
Speaker 1: to ring chase. You just never know, and you don't
Speaker 1: have control once, you know, once that ball starts rolling.
Speaker 1: But you know, you notice in the quote he does
Speaker 1: say he's an MVP, He's done this, he's done that,
Speaker 1: And yeah, I think that's because he's recognizing, like, oh,
Speaker 1: this is probably going to be misconstrued. Yeah, And I
Speaker 1: don't even really consider him going to the Lakers as
Speaker 1: ring chasing, like you know, exactly going to like one
Speaker 1: of the best teams in the league. He just was
Speaker 1: going home. So I really think he was ring chasing.
Speaker 1: And also part of me thinks, like, dame, what didn't
Speaker 1: say this to be mean, but maybe subconsciously it sort
Speaker 1: of us because him and Russ have had some battles
Speaker 1: and they've gotten real kippy with each other, and it
Speaker 1: gets some like real intense trash talk, like regularly, like
Speaker 1: Russ has said that what that I busted you up?
Speaker 1: Like ten times in a row now or something like that,
Speaker 1: like at a point where Dave was like a really
Speaker 1: big losing streak against them, and Russell let him know it.
Speaker 1: So I figured maybe this might be one of those
Speaker 1: times where Dame was let it that he was playing
Speaker 1: a long game. Man, it's looking rough out here. I
Speaker 1: think this was intended with malice. I think he was like,
Speaker 1: I'm going to ether him in the nicest way possible
Speaker 1: with this quote he's at He's the meme of the
Speaker 1: guy showing up to his enemy's funeral. That's essentially right now,
Speaker 1: all right, all right, we do have to talk about
Speaker 1: Dame though, because as predicted, we said keep an eye
Speaker 1: on Dame. He's been on one. We read like his
Speaker 1: point totals for you know, the past ten games in
Speaker 1: a row, and this past week he put up seventy one.
Speaker 1: It's the season of seventy one. He matched Donovan Mitchell's
Speaker 1: seventy one and went over the rockets. I highly recommend well,
Speaker 1: we'll link off to it in the show notes. But
Speaker 1: the just a compilation of every bucket is really fun.
Speaker 1: Like there's just something about Dame when he's locked in
Speaker 1: that is like supernatural. I've talked about it with Clay
Speaker 1: before the like he's just he's just kind of flicking
Speaker 1: it at the rim and knows what's going in. Like
Speaker 1: he's like as lung as the ball leaves my hand
Speaker 1: is going in when when he's locked in and like
Speaker 1: Dame has something different going, but it seems it's no
Speaker 1: less like just out of body to witness when he's
Speaker 1: just has it, has it going. You know what. Once
Speaker 1: he crosses the half court line, you're just like, all right,
Speaker 1: this is like he's a threat. Basically, these types of
Speaker 1: games tend to come in bunches with him, Like there
Speaker 1: was that time towards the end of it in the
Speaker 1: bubble he was like this a little bit right, like
Speaker 1: just completely locked in. Yeah, in twenty fifteen, it was
Speaker 1: when the Lakers are when the Warriors were going on
Speaker 1: that run when Steph got hurt or no, it was
Speaker 1: right before All Star break. It was a February game
Speaker 1: and I was living in Portland then, and so we
Speaker 1: went to Mota and watched the Portland versus Warriors, and
Speaker 1: he dropped fifty one fifty two, and it was one
Speaker 1: of the smoothest fifty twos I've ever seen, Like smooth.
Speaker 1: It was just so easy for him. And he wasn't
Speaker 1: shooting like this yet, Like he was shooting kind of deep,
Speaker 1: but he wasn't just confidently just I got the green
Speaker 1: light pulling up from deep. It's crazy. Now I'm interested
Speaker 1: from both of you guys. Who are the guys that
Speaker 1: you've been most scared of as an opponent when they
Speaker 1: get it going. You know, you know Jack alluded to
Speaker 1: Clay earlier. You know, obviously y'all know I'm gonna say
Speaker 1: being game for me honestly, But for right now, I'm
Speaker 1: not saying he's the best player in the league. I'm
Speaker 1: not obviously, I'm not saying that. I'm not even saying
Speaker 1: he's the best at his position. But he's the guy
Speaker 1: that scares me the most when he gets it going.
Speaker 1: So when I was seven years old, my dad was
Speaker 1: an assistant for the Knicks and they went against Jordan
Speaker 1: in the playoff, and that was terrifying because like he
Speaker 1: was dominated, like he would just take the ball away
Speaker 1: from you on the defensive end. And he was also
Speaker 1: at the height of his scoring a bill like it
Speaker 1: was when he was like putting up you know, thirty
Speaker 1: something like high thirties, a game that was crazy. If
Speaker 1: you guys have heard of Michael Jordan who's played for
Speaker 1: the Bulls back then, Yeah, familiar, I think for me,
Speaker 1: like other than Luca after what he did to us
Speaker 1: last year, like right now, historically I would probably say, yeah,
Speaker 1: it would probably be shortan too. But Kyrie like once,
Speaker 1: because you already know he can get by you, and
Speaker 1: he's hitting tough layoffs and he's just hisiting you to death.
Speaker 1: And just once he's hitting threes too, like once that
Speaker 1: starts falling, then you really gotta you gotta respect the three.
Speaker 1: He's gonna heavy you from three and get to the
Speaker 1: rim and get filed like all of it. Like, once
Speaker 1: Kyrie gets going, it's just really tough to really stop him.
Speaker 1: Who has the most realistic shout at surpassing eighty mm.
Speaker 1: That's a good question. Tatum has the will and probably
Speaker 1: the ability to do it at some point because of
Speaker 1: how how kind of locked in their offense seems. Luca definitely, Yeah,
Speaker 1: seems like he's he's got the ability. But I think
Speaker 1: it's Day, I really do. I think it's yeah, Dame,
Speaker 1: I think he has the biggest green light. He doesn't
Speaker 1: have the supporting cast to take away from it and
Speaker 1: if he likes nobody's gonna be like, Dame, give me
Speaker 1: the ball, right, I guess Dame's cooking. Let's just sit back, right,
Speaker 1: And I think he just has the most realistic chance
Speaker 1: to do it. Yeah, and he has a ball in
Speaker 1: his hands when he like bring the ball of the court.
Speaker 1: So it's like, yeah, Tatum is probably my answer for
Speaker 1: the modern like most terrified person to go against his
Speaker 1: Tatum when he's got it going, because yeah, but that
Speaker 1: has more to do with the psychological baggage of being
Speaker 1: a Sixers fan of knowing we could have had him
Speaker 1: and actually traded down to or trade it up to,
Speaker 1: like get away from It's just I don't know. I
Speaker 1: didn't share the tweet with you when somebody pointed out
Speaker 1: that you guys could have had you know, emb Tatum
Speaker 1: and who else was he? Who's the third guy? It
Speaker 1: was another star. It was like three drafts in a
Speaker 1: row where they Tatum of Thecail Bridges. There's another story
Speaker 1: in there and I can't remember who it is now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a fun game. That's a fun game of what if.
Speaker 1: It's just fun to talk about. Yeah, it's a normal
Speaker 1: collar h find a new topic. All right, let's take
Speaker 1: a quick break. We'll come right back. I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: weep a little bit, and we're back. And The Athletic
Speaker 1: pulled one hundred and one former NBA and ABA players
Speaker 1: about the game's top players today, like who they think
Speaker 1: is the best player, and they still think Lebron is
Speaker 1: the best player, which feels like some of this feels
Speaker 1: a little bit like they just pulled people who like
Speaker 1: know about the NBA, and I know that's not true,
Speaker 1: but like, I feel like this is the same results
Speaker 1: as you would get if you pulled my wife and
Speaker 1: like her friends. In some cases, my girfriend would say Lebron,
Speaker 1: So that's true. Yeah, Like it's just like these are
Speaker 1: the names everybody's heard of. This is that's not I'm
Speaker 1: I am mad that Embiid was not in the top seven,
Speaker 1: but neither was Tatum, So you got Lebron, Jokich, Jannis
Speaker 1: k d Steph Luca Kyrie. Kyrie always does really well
Speaker 1: with players and player polls because what he does is
Speaker 1: so yeah, he's like part magician, you know. It's just
Speaker 1: like his shot making, ball handling is truly one of
Speaker 1: the wildest things to behold. But I don't know, all
Speaker 1: the quotes were kind of boring. I don't know, like, well,
Speaker 1: I'm not a big fan of this article. Let's say
Speaker 1: sounds like it to that point and actually tying it too.
Speaker 1: You know, we go what you let in with the
Speaker 1: Jamaine Jones quote. It's predictable, you know, it's it's Lebron James.
Speaker 1: The body of work and what he's currently doing at
Speaker 1: this age, it makes him the best, you know, like
Speaker 1: of his time. What I actually relate that too, is
Speaker 1: not only is you know, obviously he played he played
Speaker 1: alongside up you know, he played alongside and he played
Speaker 1: in the league at the time when he played. But
Speaker 1: I think older guys and someone understandably it's that much
Speaker 1: more impressive that he's still doing it at this point.
Speaker 1: So I think that might be influencing a bit of
Speaker 1: the bias there. Yeah. Yeah, And most of them played
Speaker 1: with him, you know, most of these former players played
Speaker 1: with him or played against him at some point, so
Speaker 1: you know, Aba, I think he was around back in
Speaker 1: the ABA era, like just after. I mean, Lebron's like
Speaker 1: my favorite player in the league, like the person I'm
Speaker 1: rooting for the most like in the league still to
Speaker 1: this day. So like, I get it, I'm not I'm
Speaker 1: just salty about the mbid thing. They quote a player
Speaker 1: said Nicola Yokich because he dominates the game on both
Speaker 1: ends of the floor, it makes his teammate better. Um,
Speaker 1: so that that was from Lee nail On. Okay, I
Speaker 1: remember lead nail On. Uh dominates both ends is an
Speaker 1: interesting quote for Yoki, Like make a half court shot
Speaker 1: and make it dominates that with the outlet pass on
Speaker 1: that side of the basket. Yeah. So you know, I'm
Speaker 1: the leader of the Yogis bandwagon for this particular season,
Speaker 1: and I've already stated I do think he will eventually
Speaker 1: earn that third in row. But we don't have to lie,
Speaker 1: man like, and yes, he's he's significantly better defensively than
Speaker 1: seemingly a lot of people will give him credit for.
Speaker 1: But we don't have to lie and say that he dominates,
Speaker 1: you know, on both ends. Come on, Which is why
Speaker 1: when you asked Lebron and Janis to like pick their
Speaker 1: number one starter who they wanted on their All Star team,
Speaker 1: they were fighting over who could pick Yokic last the
Speaker 1: last pick, and beeB was the first pick. They play
Speaker 1: against these guys now, not in the past tense. Sorry,
Speaker 1: all right, but I am not biased. So this is
Speaker 1: let's get into the performances of the week. Obviously we
Speaker 1: talked about Dame. That was a lot of fun. The
Speaker 1: Knicks beat Boston, which I'm usually a fan of anyone
Speaker 1: beating balls him, and New York has now won sixth straight.
Speaker 1: They're they're messing up the bracket there. They're put me
Speaker 1: in a mind state where I'm gonna have to be
Speaker 1: seeing the Sixers play the Heat in the first round, possibly,
Speaker 1: which is not my My preference would be the Knicks,
Speaker 1: I'll just say, And that would probably come back to
Speaker 1: haunt me if it did happen, But I was gonna say,
Speaker 1: be prepared for all types of awe this you this,
Speaker 1: you all the time if they do happen to lose
Speaker 1: it the Knicks. But Brunson is just really I don't know,
Speaker 1: I don't think a lot of people saw them being
Speaker 1: this good with this team coming in and Brunson is
Speaker 1: you know, he's really backed up and earned you know,
Speaker 1: his ability to be the best player on a on
Speaker 1: a competitive team. Yeah, Bronson, um, he did. He did
Speaker 1: us in last summer so I knew it. I was
Speaker 1: kind of glad he was getting his own team. I
Speaker 1: didn't think the Dallas is gonna get Kyrie to replace them.
Speaker 1: But yeah, Brunson, he's strong, he gets to the basket
Speaker 1: spout like dude as a bucket. He can play. I'm
Speaker 1: glad he got his own squad too. Yeah, but currently
Speaker 1: they'd be matched up with the Cavs in a four
Speaker 1: or five matchup that would be really fun, just a
Speaker 1: rock fight I'm imagining at some points. But yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean there are people who can get buckets on both teams.
Speaker 1: Like the Lakers Dallas game. I tend to just like
Speaker 1: inherently root against Dallas, and I do root for the
Speaker 1: Lakers because of Jabari and Miles and Lebron, my three
Speaker 1: best friends. But this was just one of my favorite
Speaker 1: games of the season, watching the Lakers come from behind
Speaker 1: a D kind of finally putting it together, like starting
Speaker 1: to feel like maybe the Lakers have something here. A
Speaker 1: D looked awesome, like it was. That game was fun,
Speaker 1: and Vanderbilt was who, like I was most excited about
Speaker 1: after that game, and then obviously Lebron's foot injury happened,
Speaker 1: and we don't know but it's kind of throwing some
Speaker 1: water on all the excitement I was feeling after that game. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I like Vanderbilt's game. I wanted him to be a
Speaker 1: son so bad, but we also needed the picks that
Speaker 1: everybody wanted for her Katie. So it was either pretty
Speaker 1: much everybody I wanted in free agency because I thought
Speaker 1: the Katie thing was dead went somewhere else because we
Speaker 1: were just playing the slow, quiet game. But yeah, I
Speaker 1: wanted Vanderbilt to really play for us. I wanted Beasley
Speaker 1: at some point too, but it seems like Utah and
Speaker 1: Danny ains we're not messing with us at all when
Speaker 1: they came to trade talks. Yeah. Yeah, shout out to
Speaker 1: my guys, Vando and Beasley. You know my sentiment in
Speaker 1: Sugar mix. H No, that's a callback Aaron for him.
Speaker 1: Last week we had the incredible Sarah todd On and
Speaker 1: she was wet blanketing all of my happiness. But no,
Speaker 1: like Jack, you made a great point. That was such
Speaker 1: a fantastic game, And you know, I'll be honest with you.
Speaker 1: Hearing the injury news after the fact definitely, you know,
Speaker 1: kind of takes the win from your sales. The d
Speaker 1: low injury on top of that is another one of
Speaker 1: those things where it's like a man like just when
Speaker 1: they finally put some pieces out there that makes some sense.
Speaker 1: You know, this continues to be the case, but you
Speaker 1: know what, you know to your original point, I'm I'm
Speaker 1: gonna remain for you know, I'm gonna keep the faith
Speaker 1: with a d I think he I think he finds
Speaker 1: a way to carry. I still think they make the
Speaker 1: play in Um. Yeah, I don't care about the this
Speaker 1: you and and all of the key key keys that
Speaker 1: are gonna come as a result of them not making it.
Speaker 1: You gotta believe, we believe. That's one thing a Laker
Speaker 1: fan gonna have. It's gonna do. You hear a lot
Speaker 1: of belief, whether it's founded or not. And you know what,
Speaker 1: quite frankly, we've been spoiled. That's the reason we've been
Speaker 1: spoiled because more often than not it does work out.
Speaker 1: Not always, but a lot of times it is. So
Speaker 1: I have been sitting here and witnessing Aaron Jabari and
Speaker 1: Miles's hope for everything to come together with you know,
Speaker 1: just feeling like, guys, guys, this team stinks. The Dallas game,
Speaker 1: I was like, this is actually something and I will
Speaker 1: I will say Lebron was a defensive liability in that
Speaker 1: game and has been for a lot of this year.
Speaker 1: Like he was. There were sometimes where the even the
Speaker 1: commentators were like, yo, why did he just like not
Speaker 1: even move towards the shooter on that one? So I
Speaker 1: don't know, we'll have to see what it looks like
Speaker 1: without him, but I could see them, just like, you know,
Speaker 1: putting on a run here even without Lebron. And I
Speaker 1: don't think Delo being out hurts that necessarily. I'm not
Speaker 1: a huge Delo believer, but just for perspective, it's more
Speaker 1: from the playmaking aspect. Without Lebron in there, all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, it's like, okay, so who's gonna make entry passes? Okay,
Speaker 1: so who's going to create who? It really is going
Speaker 1: to be a matter of these guys are gonna have
Speaker 1: to come out and defend like crazy and make threes
Speaker 1: and you know what, I'm not gonna hold my breath,
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna be hopeful. Yeah, Sixers grizz game was
Speaker 1: a lot of fun. Had me being like, maybe maybe
Speaker 1: I can send a text being like Eastern Conference Final.
Speaker 1: Maybe because I have been a steadfast believer that this
Speaker 1: team does not get out of the second round. Uh
Speaker 1: just ever, the seventy six ers and Bead looked terrible.
Speaker 1: Offensively looked like he yeah, just real slow start, but
Speaker 1: then just like defensively kind of dominated and they came
Speaker 1: back and beat the Grizz, but then a couple losses
Speaker 1: of the Celtics and the Heat. I'm pretty psychologically damaging,
Speaker 1: I think for for that team, you're not still on
Speaker 1: that emotional high from that block. I gotta be honest
Speaker 1: with you. I would you're you're a better man than me,
Speaker 1: because I would have been texted NonStop. You saw that,
Speaker 1: you see what's up? Jump with me and become no,
Speaker 1: get that out of here, yea here afore the games
Speaker 1: tyrannic protection luders cannot believe. But you're so much God,
Speaker 1: this is unbelievable. Look how hard both of them are.
Speaker 1: I think people are just excited to see the Grizz lose,
Speaker 1: especially like that there's been new us, Like I remember
Speaker 1: how many how much people hated us last year and
Speaker 1: just thought like we hadn't earned all the trash we
Speaker 1: were talking. So it's good to see like what happened
Speaker 1: to somebody else, like even though I enjoyed them, it's
Speaker 1: just funny saying it be somebody else while we just
Speaker 1: get to kick it and sneak into the playoffs. Now, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think you guys are still you. Actually, I think
Speaker 1: the Katie I'm now rooting for them because I always
Speaker 1: root for Katie and Lebron. But like, I think people
Speaker 1: are gonna be haters, oh big time, especially when they
Speaker 1: come out and they and they're just wrecking shop that
Speaker 1: people will absolutely hate. And Chris Paul's on the team. Like,
Speaker 1: it's easy to root for a team with Chris Paul
Speaker 1: on it. That's why I knew the hate was coming
Speaker 1: sooner or later, waiting a couple of months, and we
Speaker 1: were exciting and fun because we had young dudes. But
Speaker 1: the hate is always gonna come when you have Chris Paul,
Speaker 1: and it's earned. I hated them before you got here.
Speaker 1: At least you're honest. Okay, at least you're honest. The
Speaker 1: Clippers have had like two wild games since the Westbrook trade.
Speaker 1: They've had two like incredible games that there's just like
Speaker 1: all timers, and they lost both of them, like at
Speaker 1: the very end. But Kawhi looks incredible. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I still I still think like they're a bad matchup
Speaker 1: for anyone, even the Suns. But so so, they had
Speaker 1: the second highest scoring game of all time Kings versus Clippers,
Speaker 1: one seventy six, one seventy five. Yeah, just forty five
Speaker 1: for Monk, forty four for Kauhi, forty two for Fox,
Speaker 1: and Ross debut with seventeen points, fourteen assists, five boards,
Speaker 1: and seven tournaments. So the gift and the curse. But
Speaker 1: who is the team you least want to see in
Speaker 1: the first round. I think it's Dallas. It's just yeah,
Speaker 1: animosity and Luca and just the whole thing, like at
Speaker 1: the end of like we're better even than we were
Speaker 1: last year, but and like technically we would win, but
Speaker 1: it's just the lucanness of it all. Like I hate
Speaker 1: it watching it. Um Kad is like, yeah, it's fine
Speaker 1: having him. I just don't want to play them again.
Speaker 1: It was just too much. Yeah, it won't got time,
Speaker 1: but yeah, I just I don't want to do that again.
Speaker 1: The real real answer of a team that I know
Speaker 1: would just be tougher is New Orleans if Zion comes back,
Speaker 1: because that team was really good and Willie Green knows
Speaker 1: how to play us, like he he played like he
Speaker 1: coached our team and he just knew everything that we
Speaker 1: were running and brandon Ingram just was killing us. So
Speaker 1: I think that would just be probably a lot more
Speaker 1: fun to watch. I actually think you'd be fine for
Speaker 1: some reason, like just that this was the first Dallas
Speaker 1: game that I've been super invested in and rooting against
Speaker 1: them this season, and I felt like they didn't quite
Speaker 1: have it. But can we go back to Game seven
Speaker 1: of last year? Like what as a as a son fan,
Speaker 1: like what is your feeling on that? Was it just
Speaker 1: like a weird thing where people like sick, not feeling well,
Speaker 1: Like what what do you think happened in that game?
Speaker 1: Like how are you making sense of that heading into
Speaker 1: this year's playoff? It was weird because Game six I
Speaker 1: was like I don't like how that look because like
Speaker 1: Game six looked bad, like body language wise, like all
Speaker 1: of it, like the vibe, none of it looked good.
Speaker 1: And even the way that they were talking leading up
Speaker 1: to it, like it sounded like they didn't even believe
Speaker 1: the stuff they were saying. I played basketball with like
Speaker 1: a bunch of people like my friend Pat and like
Speaker 1: Mike and all of them like they either like right
Speaker 1: for the suns or draw for them, or like take
Speaker 1: photos at the games. And I was like, like, it
Speaker 1: was just weird vibes. Even when we were hooping, like
Speaker 1: we were getting ready to go back home, I was
Speaker 1: like game seven tonight, Like no, it was like nobody
Speaker 1: wanted to even talk about it. It was just like
Speaker 1: really weird energy. Like even when we were playing basketball
Speaker 1: in the morning and when it was happening, I wasn't
Speaker 1: super shocked just because it Game six just seems so weird.
Speaker 1: It didn't seem like they had it. Yeah, as a fan,
Speaker 1: you know when your team is done, Like I'm gonna
Speaker 1: I'll give you a quick twenty eleven the playoffs, Lakers
Speaker 1: are your Lakers are face. You know, matched up with
Speaker 1: the Mavericks in the round two. After game one, all
Speaker 1: my boys were like, Oh, it's all good. It's all good.
Speaker 1: I honest to god, I was like, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: After game two, same thing, my boys were like, oh,
Speaker 1: it's all good. No man, all you gotta do is
Speaker 1: take care of business. Blah blah. Noah, it was over.
Speaker 1: And honestly, when a certain team indoor player like in
Speaker 1: this case in Luca, when he takes your soul, he
Speaker 1: takes your soul. So I understand why you don't want
Speaker 1: to necessarily face them. And you didn't even mention Kyrie
Speaker 1: in that matchup. Yeah, yeah, and that was what he
Speaker 1: did it with Jalen Brunson. I mean, they are worse
Speaker 1: without Finney Smith killed us. He had like eight threes
Speaker 1: in like two games or something like that. Like he
Speaker 1: went off too, and Spencer Jimwoody was out playing book
Speaker 1: coming off the bench. Like it was just all of them.
Speaker 1: We're just going off and getting open shots and like
Speaker 1: a lot of those dudes aren't on a team anymore.
Speaker 1: That's so I'm not really worried, but yeah, it was
Speaker 1: just the vibes were just bad that time. This time,
Speaker 1: I just don't want to do it, just because of
Speaker 1: Luca and just the crying and it'll be chippy for
Speaker 1: no reason. That's why I wouldn't like about it. It It
Speaker 1: would be the no reason chippiness, like you're gonna lose.
Speaker 1: Why are you being so chippy about this? And that's
Speaker 1: what I don't want to do it. Yeah, that makes sense. Um,
Speaker 1: That's how I feel about the Celtics. The heat let's
Speaker 1: see who else. I don't appear the heat either. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a tough series no matter what. And you just
Speaker 1: Jim Butler is just thirty percent better in the playoffs
Speaker 1: for no reason that anybody's been able to explain to me,
Speaker 1: just that much tougher. All right, let's go with the
Speaker 1: NBA broadcast call of the week, Chris Boucher's dunk earns
Speaker 1: a bar from Raptors, played by play guy Matt Devlin.
Speaker 1: Let's play it took off in Montreal landed in Toronto.
Speaker 1: That is absolutely a bar that does just sound like
Speaker 1: a stray Drake Lyric actually kind of actually, are we
Speaker 1: sure it's not? I don't know what's closer or further.
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's smart enough to know like location on the
Speaker 1: map stuff like that, So yeah, it seems smart though. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Drake would have been rapping about doing that at four
Speaker 1: am in the morning and being sad h Montreal landing
Speaker 1: in Toronto. All right, we're gonna take a break, we're
Speaker 1: gonna come back, and it's gonna be aaron the fastest
Speaker 1: segment and podcasting. You did you just hear Jabari say so?
Speaker 1: Because that's the sound that this segment is going to
Speaker 1: make as it rushes by your head. Got it? Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, we'll be right back, and we're back. All
Speaker 1: three of us are in our athletic positions. We're ready
Speaker 1: slapping the floor like Bobby Hurley. I always think of
Speaker 1: Antoine Walker slapping the floor and go that once and
Speaker 1: then I think i't blown by immediately. Well, um, just
Speaker 1: like floor slap. I feel like the floor slap, like
Speaker 1: a couple of people did it, got made to look
Speaker 1: very silly, and then it people were just like, we're
Speaker 1: not doing that anymore. It's still like a fun thing
Speaker 1: to do, but smarts the only one that does it
Speaker 1: that I believe, Like, yeah, Colin Sexton was the last
Speaker 1: one I saw do it and absolutely get embarrassed. Um,
Speaker 1: so yeah, I think you're right. Folks have learned. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, So we are going to ask you questions.
Speaker 1: You're gonna give us the first answer that comes to
Speaker 1: mind on these like and you don't even think about it.
Speaker 1: It's just, Um, have you ever seen an action movie
Speaker 1: where like a bullet ricochets around and it's just like
Speaker 1: poo poo poo. You know, Yeah, that's kind of the
Speaker 1: vibe we're going for on this We do need you
Speaker 1: to keep the thing moving fast, though, because we get
Speaker 1: distracted very easily. So Jabari, uh, why why don't you
Speaker 1: take the first one? Are you sure I bequeath the
Speaker 1: first question unto you? Aaron, You're good with it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess all right. You can go back in time
Speaker 1: and actually change the outcome of a single NBA game
Speaker 1: from throughout history. Which game are you choosing? Game for
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one finals? Okay, okay, I think I think
Speaker 1: I know why that would be the case. But do
Speaker 1: you care to elaborate? Is that the block? Is that you? Honest? Yeah?
Speaker 1: That was a boy book drop forty two got the
Speaker 1: ball strip from him. We had it and had to
Speaker 1: go up three two. Yeah, the whole thing. It hurts.
Speaker 1: We can go to the next one. No, no no, but
Speaker 1: but Jack, let's actually let's go a little bit deeper
Speaker 1: on that dig What do you think do you think
Speaker 1: they have KD in this situation if they actually win
Speaker 1: that game, would they need to have I think KAD
Speaker 1: doesn't make the game that close. And yeah, I think
Speaker 1: nobody is stuff in twenty twenty one, but I think
Speaker 1: if we win that game that does stop. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: also feels very unfair to be honest, that he had
Speaker 1: to beat Kde in the second round and then come
Speaker 1: back and beat him in the finals. But yeah, that man,
Speaker 1: that was a really fun finals. So I have this
Speaker 1: persistent nightmare that's basically like a reverse like Mike, where
Speaker 1: I suddenly switched bodies with an NBA player and suddenly
Speaker 1: I have my skills but in their body, and everyone
Speaker 1: expects me to play as them. What do you if
Speaker 1: you are faced with that situation? What's your reaction? Do
Speaker 1: you try to play? Do you immediately just get thrown
Speaker 1: out of the game? What? What's your what's your move?
Speaker 1: Fake injury? Fake an injury? Yeah that non contact injury. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you twist your ankle immediately just that. Can you still
Speaker 1: jump high? Yeah? You can still jump high. I mean
Speaker 1: you still have their body, but like you, you don't
Speaker 1: necessarily know how to like you, don't you? Yeah, look
Speaker 1: a little yeah exactly. I think first I tested out
Speaker 1: because I'm over anyway, so I'll be like maybe in
Speaker 1: this body my skills transfer better. And then I get
Speaker 1: ripped and like I airball or something that I'm like, Yeah,
Speaker 1: the first question would be why is he shooting like that?
Speaker 1: For me? Because I had an ugly jumper. Um, I've
Speaker 1: always wanted to be injured in an NBA game and
Speaker 1: then be carried off by a teammate, but be carried
Speaker 1: off like a baby, like with your legs around them,
Speaker 1: like like you're being burped, Because yeah, I think I
Speaker 1: would need to be my size to to pull that off.
Speaker 1: But they are seven feet, so you know they can
Speaker 1: make a six foot or look like a little baby.
Speaker 1: That would specifically be weird, because in this scenario, you
Speaker 1: are Zion exactly be a little bit weird. Yeah, all right,
Speaker 1: back to you, Jabari. All right, that was good, Aron,
Speaker 1: But again this is a fast segment we need. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so what is your boldest postseason or even play in
Speaker 1: prediction for this year? And he only adds play in
Speaker 1: prediction because he thinks the Lakers, of course, Oh, you
Speaker 1: think the Lakers are gonna make it all the way
Speaker 1: to the five crazy man postseason prediction? Um, I think
Speaker 1: the Warriors are gonna get swept, so they're gonna make
Speaker 1: it beyond the play in only to get swept in
Speaker 1: that first round. Yes, all right. I like the Warriors,
Speaker 1: by the way, too, I just don't think they got it.
Speaker 1: Oh you don't have to soften it. You know, this
Speaker 1: is a show. That's the tone of the show. Don't worry. Yeah,
Speaker 1: just regardless. Yeah, if you could bet on any fan
Speaker 1: base to make the Inn Arena challenge, like the layout
Speaker 1: pre throws three point or a half court, which fan
Speaker 1: base are you betting on and what kind of odds
Speaker 1: do you need to make it worth your while? I'm
Speaker 1: betting Oregon, the Portland fan base. Yes, okay, okay. I
Speaker 1: think that they got a secret amount of hoopers up there, Washington, Oregon,
Speaker 1: Like they got real hoopers up there, and I think
Speaker 1: that they take it personally that they don't get the
Speaker 1: respect that they deserve. So I think just to show
Speaker 1: everybody you get just a person from Oregon or Washington,
Speaker 1: I think they'll put on a show. Dang, that's that's
Speaker 1: a first. Usually everybody like picks their hometown or you know,
Speaker 1: like the Well, my boy Andy, he got up for
Speaker 1: the challenge a couple of months ago and he kind
Speaker 1: of embarrassed me in front of my family. So what
Speaker 1: did he do? That's okay, he's not listening. Um, he
Speaker 1: probably doesn't listening. He is a good friend, but you
Speaker 1: gotta make your free throws bro and they're free and
Speaker 1: all right. Last one for me. Karen Jalen Rules recently
Speaker 1: said that men should be spending a minimum of one
Speaker 1: hundred dollars on their haircut, a minimum of that, And
Speaker 1: you know, for me, that's a little a bit steep.
Speaker 1: But what's the most that you'll spend on a given
Speaker 1: you know, a pampering deal, like just the regular garden variety,
Speaker 1: like whether it's your haircut, you know, you spend that much,
Speaker 1: you're sitting that much and beyond on you know, I
Speaker 1: don't know pedicures or whatever anything. I think I'll go
Speaker 1: one fifty on hair in general. My hair is braided, Okay,
Speaker 1: I have to like get it braided and get a
Speaker 1: faith right after it. So usually that's about one twenty.
Speaker 1: But if I really have to, I'll go one fifty
Speaker 1: to like one six. So it's a little bit seem
Speaker 1: like Jabari was trying to like get permission for spending
Speaker 1: a lot of money on a pedicure. There, I sound
Speaker 1: like you're like, or you know, a pedicure is specific,
Speaker 1: you know, manicare pedicure pedicure or not me, But like
Speaker 1: people would say, I've known people who do that and
Speaker 1: it's normal. Right, Um, what's a good price for a pedicure?
Speaker 1: That's basically my final? What should I be a peg
Speaker 1: for a pedicure? Is she? Is she really trying to
Speaker 1: get over on this price? Leg? It's um? Is Jalen
Speaker 1: Rose's hair too good to be true? Yes? It's performance enhancing?
Speaker 1: I oh it is. He got the spray. We don't
Speaker 1: have to. He got the little squitsch squitsh squish that
Speaker 1: he puts on the corner my barbera. He tried to
Speaker 1: put it on me. I still got on my hair though,
Speaker 1: so I don't need to do that. But it's good
Speaker 1: back a little and you can feel that he uses
Speaker 1: the black little paint stuff. You can see it. Jack,
Speaker 1: Can I actually amend my answer? Yeah? I don't know
Speaker 1: if you've seen these, but have you seen the bald
Speaker 1: Dude lace front that you know? They get the actual
Speaker 1: cut with it and it looks it looks smooth. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna make my twenty twenty three come back. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: I'm gonna spend that hundred bucks on the bald Dude
Speaker 1: lakes front. Give me the sheen, give me the you know,
Speaker 1: give me the little powder, give me all of that
Speaker 1: I needed Jalen Rose in my life. Yeah, absolutely, I
Speaker 1: mean it seems but he still has his hair right, Like,
Speaker 1: you're not suggesting that it's all fake. It's just he
Speaker 1: has a great head of hair. And also there's some
Speaker 1: performance enhancing. I don't know why he goes he does
Speaker 1: the second thing, like you could tell he got a
Speaker 1: good lineup. I think he just does it or does
Speaker 1: it with the black little spray stuff on his side.
Speaker 1: He don't need to do all that. Yeah, okay, that
Speaker 1: that seems fair to me. Kind of the only answer
Speaker 1: I've heard so far that makes sense on Jalen Rose's hair.
Speaker 1: All right, last question for you, Aaron Jack, where'd your
Speaker 1: Bari Bari? I was gonna say the last day of
Speaker 1: Black History Month. If you do not, you are absolutely
Speaker 1: being cancer are recording that's in the Last Black History
Speaker 1: money chnically combined you guys' name, so you'll never know
Speaker 1: who Jack I mean, m m, yeah, I don't think
Speaker 1: he did, but see how it is he you know
Speaker 1: what I think he actually did. He did with Jack Bart.
Speaker 1: So it's like if Jabari and I were a celebrity couple.
Speaker 1: That's the name. How just goes? So still second, I'm
Speaker 1: deal kind of okay, you're the only one that gets
Speaker 1: to keep your name. Jack doesn't. All right, that's yeah,
Speaker 1: that's fair politician. Well, Aaron, you have survived the gauntlet,
