1:04

about what's going on with the draft. We will touch

1:07

on the NBA playoffs is

1:09

we'll bring Cuffs the Legend on from some

1:12

dude show on up on Game Network

1:15

at ten twenty. We'll bring them on at ten twenty.

1:18

But right now, guys, what

1:20

I wanted to talk to you guys about

1:22

was, was there anything in particular

1:26

that jumped out at you and

1:29

on day one of the draft, and maybe

1:32

even maybe even not even day

1:34

one, maybe it was something

1:36

that has taken place in the draft

1:39

that led you to look

1:41

at you know, this was a win for that team,

1:43

or this was a great decision by that team.

1:46

Where you know where you guys fall on that.

1:49

You know, when when you start saying, oh,

1:52

these teams had a really good draft,

1:54

these teams had a really bad draft,

1:57

you're saying the team had a good or a bad draft

2:00

because you really value those

2:02

players and you don't value the

2:04

other players.

2:06

Let's just be honest. You really

2:08

don't know.

2:10

You have to give it a couple of years to

2:12

see how these players pan out, because

2:16

some players they get drafted in the first

2:18

round and they become complacent,

2:22

that desire to be great,

2:25

that desire to

2:28

continue to climb that ladder. Now

2:31

that you had this money, it isn't there anymore,

2:33

and that is always a case.

2:36

You just don't know which players fall into

2:38

that category. Oh

2:40

the money has changed them. Money

2:43

doesn't change anybody. It

2:45

just reveals who you've always wanted to be and

2:48

who you always would be when when you got

2:51

it. And so it's

2:53

hard to say who had a

2:55

great draft who didn't have a

2:58

good draft, but I'm going to answer.

3:01

I like what the Commanders

3:03

did in the first and second round.

3:05

I really like the dB from

3:09

Michigan. I can't pronounce his last

3:11

name, so Sandra still, I don't know how you

3:14

pronounce it, and getting

3:16

Jade Daniels I

3:18

also like, Yeah,

3:21

I just am not to pronounce it. And also, honestly,

3:23

I like what the Falcons did because they

3:27

were sold in their conviction on

3:30

Penis and it takes a lot to do what

3:32

they did because they knew criticism

3:35

would come from that. They knew

3:37

they would be criticized for

3:39

drafting Michael Pennix, but they believed

3:41

in it so much they didn't care. And

3:44

so I like that type of conviction and

3:46

their scouting and what they're doing because

3:48

you know when people are going to be criticized.

3:50

Ah, should we do it?

3:51

You know they gonna say data, they

3:53

believe in what

3:55

they see and what they saw, and so they

3:58

drafted them. But it remains to

4:00

be seen.

4:02

You know.

4:02

I think that one of the first things

4:04

that jump off the page with me for day one

4:07

this team has was

4:10

seeing the same exact thing that I'm saying.

4:12

I don't know how he got this far, and

4:15

I'm gonna just go on to record that I think he is

4:17

probably the most

4:19

underrated play in the first in the first round. The

4:23

young man's name is Brian Thomas Jr.

4:26

Whide receiver from LSU played

4:28

alongside Elik Neighbors. Everybody saying

4:31

Elik Neighbors is the guy. He's the guy, He's the

4:33

guy. I had the opportunity

4:35

to sit down with the coach, his

4:37

officer coordinator, and I sat

4:40

there and I watched film with this young man. He

4:44

is really something

4:47

special. The kids six ' four.

4:49

He just ran a four to three to three at

4:52

his pro day and jump by thirty eight and

4:54

a half.

4:54

Its vertical at mister Barris, you know who

4:56

trained him? Right? Who you did?

4:59

You not?

5:00

You know out here? Yeah?

5:01

Yeah, I'm telling you right, Damn man,

5:04

this kid right here, he

5:07

is going to do some damage in

5:09

the NFL.

5:10

Man the next level.

5:11

He's foro. It just taller than the neighbors. Everybody

5:14

knows whose Monique Labors is. The guy

5:16

just had what almost twelve hundred yards

5:18

last year and seventeen touchdowns on sixty

5:20

eight receptions. This

5:23

kid right here, and I'm telling he's gonna

5:25

shock a lot of people of how talent

5:27

and how good he is, especially

5:29

for his height and the size

5:32

man and things that he's able to do playing wide

5:34

receiver aplex.

5:35

And you know what you would like about BT That

5:38

dude is smart

5:40

as a quarterback. It is cray

5:44

how smart he is and how well he

5:46

understands the game of football. Bro, it

5:48

would blow your mind away how

5:50

smart this guy is when it comes to the game of

5:52

football and crazy crazy intelligence.

5:55

Wow, I'm

5:58

would.

5:58

Say this my take on this. Like

6:01

win erners and losers, I'll just say

6:04

I don't know. I feel like I

6:06

feel like my boys team, our

6:09

boys team, they lost in

6:11

not getting one of these quarterbacks.

6:14

I really do.

6:15

I feel like I feel like the

6:17

six quarterbacks that went in the

6:20

first round are

6:22

all capable of being amazing

6:25

players in the National Football

6:27

League. Now, some have gotten better opportunities

6:30

than others. I think JJ McCarthy

6:33

steps into one of the most amazing

6:36

opportunities, becoming the quarterback

6:38

for the Minnesota Vikings.

6:41

I think it was a tremendous win for Atlanta

6:43

to take Michael Pennix because I believe

6:45

Michael pennis is a dark horse quarterback

6:48

that actually has, if

6:51

not top tier caliber,

6:53

you know, abilities and capabilities ceiling

6:55

wise, certainly can.

6:57

Be on that next tier that we

6:59

see the the you know.

7:00

Kirk Cousins, the Dak Prescott's, you

7:03

know those those types of Jared Goffs,

7:06

those those types of quarterbacks on that

7:08

next tier.

7:09

Maybe not a Lamar Jackson or.

7:11

Patrick Mahomes type Aaron

7:13

Rodgers, but but certainly one

7:15

that can be comparable to getting

7:18

you to to that that next level

7:20

of competition.

7:21

So I think every every team that.

7:23

Got a hold of a quarterback in this

7:25

draft, either of those six were

7:28

actually winners. Do you do you

7:30

feel as though, like for me,

7:32

I think the hardest part

7:35

and and listen, they added a donaze to

7:38

to the receiving corps for

7:41

for Caleb Williams, But I think the

7:43

hardest part for a guy like Caleb

7:45

Williams or anyone who has

7:47

gone to a team that doesn't

7:50

necessarily have the type of

7:52

of maybe success

7:54

or structure that's that

7:57

exists. Like what what JJ McCarthy

7:59

is about to walk into in Minnesota.

8:02

It could be an it

8:05

could be a touch and go situation.

8:07

Even as talented as they are as

8:09

a quarterback, everybody's going to look for their quarterback

8:12

to be like c J.

8:13

Stroud.

8:14

That's like the gold standard of this

8:17

was a successful rookie campaign

8:19

for a quarterback. If it's anything short

8:21

of that, it's like it's

8:24

not good enough. It's not good enough for

8:26

a top draft pick. And that's how it's always

8:28

been. That's not new, That's how it's always been. I

8:31

just wonder, I'm curious which

8:33

one of those quarterbacks is

8:36

going to have the most success and is

8:38

it going to be based upon how good

8:40

they are or is it going to be based

8:42

upon how good their team is and how they're

8:44

structured?

8:46

You know, LeVar, it really comes

8:48

down to the team,

8:51

It really does. But honestly,

8:55

you got to be impressed with what Ryan

8:58

Poles and.

9:00

Chicago Bears have done. You gotta be.

9:02

You will get one of the better rot runners in

9:05

Keenan Allen. You

9:07

draft a guy who and

9:09

I'm biased because our training who I believe

9:12

is going to be really good and Roma doing that.

9:15

That baby runs route.

9:16

Rome is big, he's

9:18

fast, he has crazy

9:21

ball skills. No like he'll make an

9:23

easy catch, I mean a hard

9:25

catch looks so easy

9:28

because his hand eye coordination

9:31

is so good. But

9:34

the man is six three and he ran ten to five and one hundred

9:37

meters in high school. He ran twenty

9:39

point six

9:41

I believe in the two hundred meters in high

9:43

school. So at six

9:45

three two fifteen running like that, what

9:48

his ability to run routes and

9:51

his ball skills. And then

9:53

you also have Dj Moore and Keenan Allen

9:56

cole kmet DeAndre

9:58

Swift in the backfield. That

10:00

is an impressive skill

10:03

group that that really isn't And so

10:06

now it is can Caleb do his

10:08

part?

10:09

Can can he do his part?

10:11

And if he can, you

10:13

would easily have to say that Caleb

10:15

Williams is going to have a great

10:18

rookie year and possibly a great career because

10:20

of the players around

10:22

him. They are doing what you should

10:24

do if you draft the quarterback high, surround

10:27

him with weapons. So now we have no excuses

10:30

and let's see how it plays out.

10:32

So are you saying that the Chicago

10:34

that the Chicago Bears didn't

10:37

do that with Justin Fields.

10:39

A blind man can see

10:41

that they tried, but it was a bit late. Yeah,

10:45

no, they didn't.

10:46

They the players weren't

10:48

available for the Chicago I mean, hey,

10:50

the players weren't available.

10:51

They didn't do it. However you want to frame it.

10:54

He didn't have what he did

10:56

not have what Caleb

10:59

Williams has that

11:01

that's a factuy.

11:02

So so the Chicago Bears

11:04

basically they just without

11:07

saying it, they came out and

11:09

sent subliminal message to people like us

11:11

who understand it that, uh,

11:14

we got it wrong when we drafted Justin

11:16

fields is basically what they said.

11:17

But it is a different it's a different uh

11:21

general manager.

11:23

I don't believe Ryan Poe's drafted uh

11:27

Justin fields. And so it's

11:30

a different, different GM.

11:32

And so when you when you look at it from that perspective,

11:36

hey, you you can't. You

11:38

cannot fault the Bears and Ryan Pauk what they're

11:41

doing.

11:43

You you can. You gotta applaud

11:46

them.

11:46

A rookie quarterback with teas receivers

11:50

like that, that's you don't see that.

11:54

I'm gonna say this I think it sounds

11:56

good. I don't know that Keenan Allen will stay

11:58

healthy. Do is

12:00

say he's going to have to adjust and adapt

12:02

to being a pro which may not be too hard, but

12:05

he may or may not.

12:07

Pick it up, may not pick it up. I don't

12:09

know. A rookie is a rookie.

12:11

I think outside of outside

12:14

of Pennix having the opportunity to sit

12:16

and learn and

12:18

and have time and see how

12:20

things are going to shape up with Raheem Morris

12:23

and that team and JJ McCarthy

12:25

with the type of weapons that he does have

12:28

that isn't in question at all.

12:31

I think the rest of them are in for a tough

12:34

road. I think it's going to be a tough

12:36

I think it's going to be a turbulent situation

12:39

for Caleb Williams. I think it's going to be a turbulent

12:42

situation for for the rest

12:44

of them, for for Drake may Like

12:46

in New England, I think that's that's that's turbulent.

12:49

There's turbulence here.

12:51

I just think that they're going to all have their

12:53

hands full with having the type

12:55

of success that they're gonna want, and that the city,

12:58

the fans, the team is going to want for them.

13:00

I just think that.

13:01

It's a it's it's an aberration

13:04

to think that you're going to have a team

13:07

that's as that does what

13:09

what they were able to do with the Miko

13:11

and Houston this past year.

13:14

It's just that's I think that's the outlier.

13:16

I don't I don't think we see that. So it's

13:18

going to be interesting to see

13:20

through it.

13:21

He's specially c J. Stroud.

13:24

But six, these six guys are

13:26

special to righte.

13:27

Hey, well, hey, we all

13:30

know I want I want to special

13:33

A six quarterbacks drafted in the

13:35

top fifteen. We've never seen

13:37

it happen, and we don't know who

13:39

it's going to be, but the odds

13:42

tell us at

13:45

probably two to three are

13:47

going to be bus We just don't know

13:49

who it's going to be because we

13:51

don't know the

13:53

situation, how how the development

13:56

is. Yes, always it's always

13:58

at now and if all of them great, and

14:01

this.

14:01

Is a rare.

14:03

They talk about Jim Kelly and

14:05

Dan Marino, and I know we got to get to a break because

14:07

we got to bring cups on. But they talk about the

14:09

Jim Kelly draft with Dan Marino,

14:12

and I think there was one more du

14:16

Troy Aikman. That was a hell of a draft

14:18

for quarterbacks. I mean, does this

14:20

have that potent? Just real quickly because we got to get

14:22

the break, but real quickly, do you think these

14:24

six out of those six, do you think

14:26

that this is that type of draft where you know,

14:29

like two three of them become Hall of Fame caliber

14:31

quarterbacks.

14:33

I mean, if you if you look

14:35

at the organizations, you

14:39

would say.

14:41

No.

14:42

But you say this a few

14:45

years ago about the Detroit LIONSY and look where

14:47

they're going now. And so if

14:49

the structure is right, anything

14:52

is possible. I like what Ryan Poe's

14:54

and the Chicago Bears are doing. I really do. They're

14:56

giving this. They're giving Caleb Williams

14:58

every opportunity to be successful.

15:01

And so you just don't

15:03

know.

15:05

When you come to the National Football League,

15:07

man, these are grown men. You

15:09

got to eat, sleep, and breed football. It has

15:11

to consume your life for the most part, but

15:14

you also have to get away from it and the guys

15:16

that can handle it,

15:19

the the failures,

15:21

because we love the successes. Can

15:24

you handle the failure and can you still

15:26

believe in yourself? Can you still have that confidence

15:28

in yourself when you fail? That's

15:31

the key super quick.

15:33

Plex never had

15:36

to deal with failure, man, But I can imagine.

15:39

I remember what depressure of

15:41

going going into a situation and

15:44

having to be able to perform right away

15:46

because I started my first game when

15:49

I went into campus a rookie. So trust me,

15:51

I know what those young men are feeling. I've never

15:53

had to do your opportunity

15:57

to fail. I had the opportunity to fail,

15:59

but I didn't. But uh yeah, man,

16:01

it's a lot of those young men. I was wishing the best.

16:05

All right.

16:05

That's up on Game that's t J. Husmanza, Plexico

16:08

21:39

Go ahead, go ahead, cuffs.

21:42

I remember you'll remember the famous

21:44

David Chappelle's get what they said? The haters

21:46

21:49

have a real

21:53

I'm wearing all black, right, now I

21:55

got I got black, got black

21:58

because funeral

22:01

tonight.

22:01

Man,

22:09

I'm gonna break down to y'all wild we even in this

22:11

situation and a lot of people

22:13

are going to point the blame, Well, what had

22:16

happened was, Yeah, a

22:18

lot.

22:18

Of people gonna point the blame at

22:20

Darvin Ham, and rightfully so, the

22:23

worst coach. He is the worst coach

22:25

in the National Basketball Association. But

22:29

blame is really going to go on the

22:31

person that I've been pointing out and calling out

22:34

way back in November. If y'all remember when

22:36

I said you won't fool me.

22:38

I told you y'all.

22:42

Exactly the point guard for the

22:44

Lakers. I'm not even calling his name anymore. I don't

22:46

even want to say his name no more publicly. The

22:49

point guard for the La Lakers with zero

22:51

points in Game three and the biggest

22:53

moment when you folded

22:55

last year against the Nuggets, Right, you volded last

22:57

year, So we didn't care what he did the whole

23:00

season because we wanted to see what he was going to do. What's

23:02

D'Angelo Russ is going to show improve against

23:05

the Nuggets this year in this series

23:07

and he has not shown up. Lebron has

23:09

shown up. Ad has scored thirty

23:11

and three straight games in this series. Ad has

23:14

played very well against Jokis. You can't

23:16

blame Ad no more. You can't blame Lebron

23:18

no more. To blame is going on the

23:20

shoulders of the starting point guard for

23:22

thelmaker.

23:23

Hey cus, let me jumping here for fire. Everybody

23:26

look is jumping here for a minute.

23:29

What did y'all really expect for d

23:31

Angelo Russell to do when he joined this team?

23:34

What has de lo been his whole career

23:36

score?

23:37

You can't just expect for this man to

23:39

join this team with Anthony

23:42

Davidson Lebron James, where we know that he's the

23:44

alpha. He basically does what he wants

23:46

to do. He can take him a basketball game with

23:49

whenever he wants to.

23:52

This teammates what he wants to. Now let's

23:54

get back to dolphin him. I don't know you do what

23:56

you said, but I will tell you this. Uh,

24:00

Austin Reeves has been

24:02

the problem, one of the major problems for

24:04

this loss a basketball

24:07

team because for one old defense.

24:09

Who is he going to guard? He can't

24:11

guard Aplex? Can

24:13

I interrupt you real quick? Yeah?

24:16

So you know game three right? You bring

24:18

up Austin Reeves, You're wrong. Anthony

24:21

Davis had thirty three points. Lebron

24:23

James had twenty six points, Austin

24:26

Reeves had twenty two.

24:28

Yeah, we're talking

24:30

about on the defensive side.

24:33

Else had more than eight points. Nobody

24:36

else had more than understand

24:38

what points.

24:39

But when it comes down to

24:41

it in a crunch time situation,

24:44

Austin Reeves cannot guard nobody

24:46

on his basketball team.

24:47

You act like D'Angelo Russell can.

24:49

At least Austin Reeves is given us some points,

24:51

He's given us production. D'Angelo

24:53

Russell can play no defense and

24:56

he can't score a point.

24:57

Bro Listen, that's the problem.

24:59

You the Los Angeles Lakers

25:01

and Darvin Ham, and you're looking

25:03

at this roster that the Denver

25:05

Nuggets have.

25:06

You have to say one thing. Joker's

25:08

going to get his points. Jamal

25:11

Murray is going to get his points. But when

25:13

you.

25:13

Allow the Joker to get thirty

25:16

of Jamal Murray get twenty five and

25:18

you allow Michael Porter Junior to get twenty

25:21

five, you.

25:21

Got a problem.

25:22

And that's why your focus

25:24

extensively. That's what Joe said,

25:27

what he said about less Ham.

25:29

Let's take Mike Michael Porter Junior

25:31

out of this basketball game because he is the

25:33

one that is killing us on a defensive

25:36

end and threes in transition, making

25:38

transition baskets. Y'all need

25:40

to focus on that young man right there, kind

25:42

of take him out of this basketball game.

25:45

As carunching and game planning. But this

25:47

is what it is. That is a better basketball

25:49

team than you guys. Man, flat

25:51

out that's it.

25:53

That's what.

25:53

Flat out you can't.

25:56

The Lakers, bro. The Lakers have dominated

25:59

the first three games in the first half.

26:01

They were in the first half.

26:03

But you know what differ is, hey come

26:05

out in the third quarter and they're gonna play,

26:07

and they're gonna play that best basketball.

26:09

Lakers get eliminated and I ain't watching the NBA

26:12

playoffs no more.

26:13

So they eliminated. I'm done the Los

26:15

Angeles Lakers. Just like you said. It looks

26:17

like you said the Los Angeles Legs.

26:19

They come out the first, first and second quarter

26:21

of those basketball games in Denvil,

26:23

they come out, they're running up and down the court.

26:25

Come third or fourth quarter.

26:26

The time, Hey, we get slapped

26:28

in the face in the first game is

26:30

not a foul. I didn't know you could smack somebody,

26:35

but being up twenty

26:37

and both get the game on and

26:39

game two and you still lose the basketball

26:42

game, no excuse, then.

26:44

Twenty we can we just

26:46

move on from the Lakers because it's

26:49

gonna be a timon sweet. I think, I think,

26:52

I honestly think Lebron is not gonna get

26:54

swept two years in a row. So Lebron, He's

26:56

gonna rise up tonight. I think that rise

26:58

up tonight. It's

27:01

gonna be a gentleman sweep. So I

27:04

want to look forward to the next round because the Phoenix

27:06

Sun they about to get the same get

27:08

the funeral, and.

27:09

This all goes back, and

27:12

this all goes This all

27:14

goes back towards last year when

27:17

Mark Malone and Lebron James was going

27:19

out in the media. Lebron Jane

27:21

was saying slow down as always next

27:23

year, and Malone was poking at Lebron

27:25

and Los Angeles Lakers and beating them. And

27:28

now they're on the brink of being swept,

27:30

in which they will be.

27:32

So the King will not rise

27:34

up this evening.

27:36

All I simply want to say,

27:38

Wooker, Booker and KD the

27:42

next series.

27:43

The Timberwolves are the only

27:45

team in the Western Conference. Who

27:48

matches up with those Nuggets because they

27:50

have the front line we go there. Kar

27:53

Anthony Towns is back healthy,

27:54

No Red

27:57

is the sixth man of the Year. And as

27:59

I've said on this program already,

28:02

if ant Man turns into two thousand

28:04

and six Dwayne Wade like he showed us last

28:06

night, because Devin Booker, you're

28:09

no longer in the conversation as

28:11

the best two guard in the league, ant

28:13

Man will be starting. Ant Man will

28:16

be starting at shooting guard in the Olympics

28:18

in Paris. He is the best shooting guard in

28:20

the world. And if ant Man can continue

28:22

to elevate his game like he's doing against Phoenix,

28:25

I'm telling you the Timberwolves are the

28:27

only team that stands in the way

28:29

of the Nuggets repeating. And I think

28:31

Dallas, Dallas gonna beat the Clippers

28:34

because Luca and Kyrie is too much. Daniel

28:36

Gafford, the PJ Washington, all

28:38

those guys playing well. The Thunder

28:40

they looking good right now. They're gonna get pastor Pelicans.

28:42

I'm already looking ahead to the next round.

28:44

I'm telling y'all, I'm disappointed in Phoenix

28:47

and where they are. I thought there was gonna be a

28:49

lot better with the with the additional Bradley

28:51

Bill. But let's cuist to the Eastern

28:53

Conference cuff, because I remember when

28:56

I had you on this telecast,

28:59

just this show. You came

29:01

out and said you was Bolton

29:04

Celtics.

29:05

Gonna do this.

29:06

They gonna do that.

29:07

They are Eastern Coast.

29:08

They still are they are.

29:10

How can you explain them losing

29:12

at home Butler's

29:16

Miami Heat basketball team? I

29:18

told you that Brown

29:22

is gonna be the you want to be the player.

29:25

Why the Boston Celtics

29:27

would not win the Eastern Conference.

29:29

I'm telling that one.

29:30

That's one. That's one hiccup. World champions haven't

29:32

hit that ain't no hiccup. All

29:35

I'm saying is bro hiccup.

29:39

I'm not looking at that loss. I'm

29:41

not taking nothing but that loss. That they're gonna beat

29:43

this. They're gonna beat the Miami Heat in probably five

29:45

games. Right, the Celtics are going

29:47

to be in an Eastern Conference. What you need to be worried

29:50

about is the Milwaukee Bucks are

29:52

done.

29:52

It's a rat.

29:53

Not only not only are the Bucks done this year,

29:56

it's time. It's time to blow it up in Milwaukee

29:58

because We've seen Da with the injury

30:00

he suffered, Achilles injury, strainers,

30:03

Achilles. They're they're

30:06

the Indiana Pacers, Parry Taliverton

30:08

Miles turning those guys Kham. They're a bad

30:10

matchup for them anyway, even with Gianni's

30:12

and now with Gianni's out, No.

30:15

Come onto, you don't believe that,

30:17

bro, Bro, do you see the game?

30:19

Do you watch the bad.

30:21

Matchup with come on?

30:22

Manated

30:26

those guys in the regular season with Giannis

30:28

on the floor, and now Jannie is gone.

30:31

Fast forward to this, We're getting the Celtics

30:34

in the Eastern Conference Finals. The Celtics are gonna

30:36

win the East. I mean, look at it, the Knicks

30:38

and the Knicks are decent, but the

30:40

Knicks can probably get past the Sixers because Joel

30:42

is dealing with I think.

30:44

It said yeah, because

30:46

Joel is not healthy.

30:48

So we're we're getting Celtish

30:51

in the finals. It's gonna be Celtics Nuggets

30:54

more more than likely. But all I'm simply saying

30:56

is keep your eyes on the timber Bolve because

30:59

and Danny Edwards is elevating

31:02

his game just like I saw

31:04

d Wade do in six I'm telling y'all

31:06

he is he last night was a

31:08

turning point for him in his career. He's

31:11

only twenty four to twenty five years old. Bro to

31:13

go into Phoenix last night and do that to Kevin

31:15

Durant and you saw him talking spiky

31:17

to KD. What I'm saying is, Bro, we're

31:20

witnessing what we call, we always

31:22

say, passing the torch right down

31:25

three to oh, hold On Lebron,

31:27

down three to oh, KD is down three to

31:29

oh. Steph Curry already in can kun.

31:31

These young guys a man, Bro,

31:35

a man, Jason Tatum, Luka Donnas,

31:39

Shay, Gilgus, Alexander this

31:41

is their time, is all I'm saying, Yokic, this

31:43

is their time. So we're witnessing a change

31:45

of the guard. That's what I think we're witnessing overall

31:47

in the NBA right now. The old heads,

31:50

the old heads, the trip

31:52

like the tires are starting

31:55

to show that that tread like it's they

31:57

have nothing left.

31:58

Bro, I believe

32:00

I agree with you and that I agree.

32:04

Listen, that's cuts the legend right there.

32:07

You got any any is that your is

32:09

that your profound

32:11

ending to this this ridiculously

32:14

funny segment.

32:15

Of how the old heads is.

32:18

Gonna be in can't comb as

32:20

the reunion of Coocon has

32:23

some old ass men that can't get it done

32:25

anymore against these young boys?

32:26

Is this it for you?

32:27

Cut before we take a team game,

32:29

guys as a team with Lebron and a du.

32:38

As y'all on Instagram, I've already

32:40

entered the transfer portal, like I'm.

32:44

You need to take with you y'all.

32:46

Need'll need to post a letter, y'all need to

32:48

go to the portal.

32:49

Hey if y'all hey that hey, that had

32:51

me dying when I saw it.

32:54

I'm already I've already,

32:56

I've already told myself Bron

32:59

has years. Well, I'm

33:03

gonna say this publicly, what

33:06

greatness. I'm gonna say this publicly right

33:09

now. It is time for

33:11

Lebron to get out of LA

33:14

and I'm gonna tell you why. It's malpractice.

33:17

Rob Polinka has done a terrible job.

33:19

He hired Listen Bro, he

33:21

hired Darvin Ham.

33:24

That's the faithal mistake. He

33:27

hired Darvin Ham. It's time Lebron

33:29

to go to New York, New York,

33:32

New York.

33:32

That's what I'm telling you think

33:36

and Lebron need the ball Jaylen Brunson need

33:38

the ball.

33:39

I don't know and random.

33:41

When he came at this stage, at

33:43

this stage Lebron's career, he

33:45

don't want to carry the team. I know that

33:47

personally, he don't want to carry he he

33:49

doesn't want to be the number one guy on

33:52

certain nights. Yes, but like you've seen

33:54

it now, he can't be the best player on your

33:56

team. And he's thirty nine. He needs a lot

33:58

of Hey.

34:00

Hey, chus, what you just said? Uh

34:03

New York, New York.

34:04

Who you think is having a better sais Jalen brussel

34:06

O, Tarvis.

34:06

Maxi, Russ

34:10

Bruton struggled the first couple of games, but he's starting

34:12

to So I would

34:14

put my money on I mean, I like both of those guys, but

34:16

I would put my money on Brunt him because he's

34:18

a home run hitter, he's a closer. But I think that series

34:20

going seven because the home court advantages,

34:23

Like most teams have a raucous crowd. You've seen

34:25

the crowd in Phield the other night. I think it's going

34:27

seven. We're gonna get a game seven in the

34:29

guarden. You can mark that Game seven

34:31

in the garden.

34:34

That's cuts the legend. Some

34:36

dudes show up on game Network. You

34:38

can find him on i G.

34:41

He is a great follow so

34:43

you want to follow him and check him out. As

34:45

you heard, he is in the transfer portal

34:48

away from the lake. Everybody

34:52

just wishing well. Go on there wishing well.

34:55

He's he took a year too long to enter

34:57

the portal. But you know what, never late that,

34:59

never to late.

35:03

We're gonna we're gonna take a quick breaking. On the

35:05

other side, we're gonna wrap it up.

35:06

And speaking of the La Lakers, there's

35:09

a guy that's from well, he's from.

35:10

San Diego, but he's a LA he was he was.

A USC player. Uh got

35:51

the news broke this week that former

35:55

NFL and college great Reggie

35:57

Bush would be getting

36:01

his Heisman returned back to

36:03

him, reinstated as the

36:05

rightful winner of that. How

36:08

you guys feel about how

36:11

you guys feel about Edgie Bush getting

36:14

his trophy back and

36:16

being in a scenario where he

36:18

can now say, you know, it's maybe

36:21

solidified his college

36:23

career and what he

36:25

was able to accomplish.

36:28

For for me is long overdue.

36:30

I felt like he

36:33

should have been They should have been given

36:35

his Heisman trophy back, man,

36:37

Like everybody knew when

36:40

they took it it was bs

36:42

and now with the nil and all that, it's

36:44

like, come on, man, the NCAA has been

36:49

a terribly run organization

36:51

from when we were playing, and it

36:54

was just getting worse and worse and worse.

36:55

And now.

36:57

That I mean, they really owe us reparations.

37:00

They being oled Reggie Bush his reparations

37:02

and giving that Heisman trophy back because you

37:04

think about, look at all the money that

37:07

they cost him by doing what they

37:09

did. And so I'm happy.

37:11

I'm happy he has his Heisman Trophy back.

37:13

Man.

37:13

I just saw Reggie bush Man last weekend

37:16

and kicked it with him for a little while.

37:18

Man.

37:18

So for him to

37:20

get what he rightfully earned

37:23

on that field, he earned that on the field,

37:26

I'm happy for him.

37:27

Man.

37:28

What I don't understand about it is that why

37:31

I took the Housmand Trophy, you

37:33

know, association to to wait

37:35

so long, Because from what I understand, the

37:38

Heisman Trophy is not associated with the nc DOUBLE

37:40

at all. It's a

37:42

certain separate entity. So

37:45

if I believe that they were just following

37:47

suit with the rules, that or the

37:50

uh the what do your sinctions

37:52

that they put on register bush to take away his Heisman

37:55

trophy. If you're if you were the Heisman

37:57

Trophy and you're your own separate

38:00

entity, not separated, not

38:03

you know, partner with the NCAA, then

38:05

why wouldn't you have issued him his

38:07

Heisman trophy back a long time ago.

38:09

That's the right. I have problem with it.

38:11

But let me put this in front of y'all because

38:13

there are some people out there that are

38:15

saying, but.

38:16

He did break the rules.

38:19

Now, I don't know the details

38:22

of the story in terms of what

38:24

his involvement was versus his family's

38:26

involvement in it.

38:28

I'm not sure on all of those details.

38:30

A lot of people say, why didn't Reggie Bush

38:32

ever confess or clear

38:35

it up that this was his role in it, this

38:37

is what he had going on. There

38:39

are a lot of people that felt as though maybe

38:42

maybe he wasn't deserving of getting his heisman

38:45

back because while the rules have changed

38:47

now, the rules were the rules

38:49

when he was playing, and he and apparently

38:53

he broke them.

38:53

To the stent where they took his

38:56

heisman. What would y'all say to that?

38:59

I just felt like the

39:01

rules back then were they

39:04

weren't right there.

39:06

There's no way that you

39:09

can play golf,

39:13

tennis, and these other sports and

39:15

make money off of yourself, but you can't play

39:17

football and basketball make money off yourself.

39:20

Like I didn't understand that that

39:22

is his name.

39:23

If he can make broke broke

39:25

in college.

39:27

Broke eating to eating top

39:29

ramen every day and adding

39:31

baloney and all like spam sandwiches,

39:34

Like it's crazy what you go through as a

39:36

college athlete.

39:37

And so I still like spam sandwiches.

39:39

I would never eat another one. I

39:41

ate so like a hot dog. Spam never will

39:44

ever you could pay me to eat any of that. I

39:46

ate so much some baloney, sandwiches,

39:48

hot dog spam man, I ate so much of that in

39:50

my life. I'm done. But for

39:53

Reggie Bush, you can say the rules,

39:55

were this the rules or that? Obviously

39:59

they weren't the career rules. In a lot

40:01

of people eyes, a lot and

40:03

soul, you can say,

40:05

oh, these were the rules, they weren't

40:08

the right rules.

40:09

Last word, plex quick hey

40:12

man, Reggie Bush, congratulations.

40:25

Hey. For what is worth?

40:27

I mean, for

40:29

good or for bad, whichever side it falls

40:31

on, it is what it is.

40:32

I don't know.

40:32

He's still suing defamation and character

40:35

against the n c a A. I'm interested to see

40:37

how that all turns out. But Reggie

40:39

Bush is a personal friend. I'm

40:41

glad he got his his reinstatement

40:44

back.

40:45

And we'll be able to move on.

40:46

As you mentioned TJ, a lot of opportunities

40:49

come with having that that hardware and that

40:51

distinction. Now he gets to have it back, so

40:54

good for him, good for his family. His kids

40:56

get to buy into the legacy

40:59

and be a part of that legacy.

41:00

So I appreciate him.

41:02

I appreciate people, you know, giving

41:05

him that that that opportunity back.

41:07

So anyways, JKS next,

41:10

hope you enjoyed the show, Enjoy your weekend.

41:12

We're out of here.
