Kobe is presented by

0:02

Allstate. Get protected from mayhem

0:05

this year when you switch and save with

0:07

Allstate.

0:10

Hey, this is the magic man, and

0:12

you're watching my homeboy, Jaylen

0:14

and Jacome.

0:23

Here's Generos. I'm David Jacoby.

0:25

We are Jalen and Jacoby

0:27

be one. Yes, ma'am. That we

0:29

too. We yeah.

0:37

The

0:37

people got what they wanted last night

0:39

on ESPN, nationally televised games

0:41

between two of the best teams in the eastern

0:44

conference. The Cavs and the

0:46

Celtics. and it went down

0:48

to the wire. It was

0:51

Jason Tatum catching this

0:53

dunk to tie the game and

0:55

take it to overtime. But

0:57

in overtime, it was Garland

1:00

and it was Mitchell. Garland first

1:02

came back and quite some time put up twenty

1:04

nine and twelve assists, jailing

1:07

the cabs are now six and one.

1:09

Behind only the bucks in the eastern comp, conference,

1:12

and they have Garland back. How

1:14

should we start considering

1:16

this as one of the top teams in the eastern

1:18

conference? Are they there yet? with the

1:21

Celtics -- Wow. -- and the Sixers. Spider

1:26

Man does whatever a

1:28

Spider can You are about to remember

1:30

that Jingle? Yes. Youngster. Donovan

1:33

Mitchell, as I mentioned to you.

1:36

He's better equipped with the roster

1:38

around him in Cleveland than he

1:40

would have been in New York and

1:42

even what he had in

1:44

Utah. And that was a team that had

1:46

some Western his regular season

1:48

in particular success.

1:51

And here's why he has a backcourt

1:53

mate that can also

1:56

Put

1:57

up buckets in flurries and

1:59

has unlimited

1:59

range. It was an all

2:02

star last year in Darius

2:04

Garland in his own right

2:06

and he just returned. And

2:09

when he was out, Carys LaVirt had

2:11

forty one points. the balance

2:13

in the backcourt. So now when

2:15

it gets to overtime, Spider

2:18

Mitchell can take over, and that's

2:20

what happened. And let's talk about their

2:22

big. Yes. One of your favorite

2:24

players in the league is Jared

2:26

Allen. Jared Allen. Who I wanna share the tier

2:28

when they traded him from the net?

2:30

They they want he can imagine

2:32

a cat.

2:33

They can use him right now, but go ahead. Right.

2:37

And so now you have

2:39

mold and Allan, two

2:42

mobile biz. They're

2:44

not just, you know, clogging

2:47

up the pain the

2:49

office of prowess of Mobley,

2:52

the hands and the ability to finish

2:54

a bold to them, whether it's

2:56

drop passes, whether it's law

2:59

passes, whether you're giving them an opportunity

3:01

to score near the buck it. And

3:03

so when you got a backcourt that's

3:06

that dynamic getting you twenty five

3:08

plus each player and they'll be

3:10

an all star backcourt Not

3:12

that I think about it, probably the only

3:14

all star backcourt in the conference.

3:17

And then you have two bags up front

3:19

that I just mentioned. that are young

3:22

and and are terrific down

3:24

low and clogging up the pain and rim protecting.

3:26

So

3:27

I really love what the calves have done,

3:29

and it's great to watch these this young

3:31

team grow it to a contender. I

3:34

felt like last year, like, wow, I love this

3:36

cast young core. Look at how good Mobley

3:38

is in the NBA game. And I was,

3:41

like, forecasting them to be contenders

3:43

in a couple years. In three years. But

3:46

right now, out of the gate, I know it's super early.

3:48

I'm looking at them now, and I'm looking how the

3:50

nets have struggled. And I'm like,

3:52

this is a top three team in the Eastern Conference.

3:54

Like, get the Sixers keep struggling and

3:56

the Nets keep struggling like they're

3:58

going to be a top

3:59

four team in the Easter concert at the end of

4:02

the regular season and make some noise in the playoffs. This

4:04

team is ready now.

4:06

In general, as you always say it, just give it to

4:08

me now. They're young, but they're what? They

4:11

made be young, but they're

4:13

ready. But one of

4:15

the things I wanna also acknowledge, they

4:18

gotta get a little more help off the

4:20

bench. It's great to see

4:22

urgent Kevin Law, between

4:25

talking about his mental mental

4:27

health challenges to reinventing himself,

4:30

to be the highest paid veteran on a

4:32

team that was trying to find an identity

4:34

to none of a sudden recreating a

4:36

role. I wanna give love and

4:38

JB Bickerstaff have their head coach

4:40

a lot of credit.

4:42

Jalen,

4:43

Los Angeles,

4:45

the duo. the superstar

4:47

duo at the end of the game connected

4:50

on this play. Of course, I'm talking

4:52

about Austin Reeves to

4:54

Matt Ryan. LeBron James

4:56

is on the floor. Who does David Ham

4:58

draw up the play for? Matt

5:00

Ryan in the corner cross

5:02

court pass get them

5:05

to over time to get the win.

5:08

Jalen Rose, what do you think about the

5:10

superstar duo in la la

5:12

land?

5:13

I know this is clear as sarcasm.

5:16

Well, let me tell you something. We might as well

5:18

give Darvaham co to the year right

5:20

now. Right now.

5:23

Because let me tell you, sir.

5:25

He has the courage of a burglar

5:27

a broad daylight to

5:29

be in Los Angeles coaching

5:32

the Lakers with LeBron James

5:34

and Anthony Davis and

5:36

Russell Westbrook on the team.

5:38

And neither one of those human beings

5:40

touched the ball. They drew the ball's

5:42

important possession in the game. and

5:44

then it's a fallaway one

5:47

leg three. Yep.

5:49

Fallaway one. And he

5:51

wants me to get happier than time, dev.

5:54

you see AD set the screen

5:56

like this play was drawn up

5:58

for Matt Ryan. Like there were other

5:59

options but this was going to Matt Ryan the

6:02

entire time And one more thing

6:04

about Matt Ryan, I cannot make this up.

6:06

My man was driving for DoorDash

6:08

like a year ago. And now he's got

6:10

LeBron James, on his team, and

6:12

they're looking off LeBron using him as a

6:14

decoy to get to overtime. Continue

6:16

mister Rose.

6:18

And how about this? I wanna shout out to

6:21

Lonnie Walker too because he's

6:23

been balling. And as

6:25

a young player, as a terrific athlete,

6:27

when they play with pace and tempo and get

6:29

on transition and get open

6:31

floor situations, he's a really

6:34

good finish. Right? I believe he let them in

6:36

scoring. And The

6:38

other thing, I gotta go back to this.

6:40

So you're playing against the pales. The pales are

6:42

done, I believe, with sixteen and

6:44

made a comeback in the second half.

6:47

You get to the most important play in

6:49

the game, you and the huddle, you darken the hand.

6:51

If if that

6:54

does not work, what are

6:56

we talking about today? I

6:58

wanna ask you this, media

7:00

industry veteran of over a lot

7:02

of production I'll tell you

7:04

I'll tell you exactly what we're talking about today.

7:06

Should Steve Nash be the coach of the

7:08

Lakers? That's what we're talking about today.

7:11

Should Steve, that'd be the coach of the Lakers.

7:14

That's that's the that's the double question we're

7:16

asking if he draws up a play for

7:18

Matt Brown and and it doesn't work

7:20

out. He steps out of bounds or something. That's

7:22

exactly what we're doing. And, Jalen,

7:24

you mentioned Lottie Walker, and I'm glad you did

7:26

because he shot well He was five for nine from three.

7:28

And here's what he had to say about his shooting

7:30

performance. I love his quote so much. I can't wait for you hear

7:32

it.

7:33

At the games,

7:35

two of them. I'm I I've been staying in the

7:37

gym getting as much shots as I can. My

7:39

jump shot is too beautiful not to be not to

7:41

be making any threes, honestly. So, I

7:43

mean, I'm to need to

7:44

shoot for confidence. I feel

7:46

like that's something you would say. That seems like something

7:48

you would say. My jump shot is too beautiful

7:50

not to be making any threes. not

7:54

only something I would say. He

7:56

said it with confidence and with his

7:58

chest knowing he just bald. But

8:01

number two, you know this in the

8:03

history of hip hop. You

8:05

never bet against a man with a half

8:07

moon Caesar. As

8:09

Ray Kwan the chef, you see

8:11

Lonnie walk out there balling with it.

8:13

You know you gotta be putting it in work.

8:16

Well,

8:16

I'm just I remember when you had

8:18

the exact same part in your hair and you also

8:20

had a crisis following it because you thought your

8:22

hair would never grow back. And now look at

8:24

you. Flourishing with the frog.

8:26

Flourishing with the

8:28

pro. Janet,

8:31

time for us to again

8:33

address the mess that

8:35

is the Brooklyn Nets. The latest is

8:38

this that the anti defamation league and

8:40

Kyrie Irving put out a statement and it

8:42

reads this. I'm aware of the

8:44

negative impact of my post towards the Jewish community.

8:46

I take responsibility. I do not believe everything

8:48

said in the documentary was true

8:50

or reflects my morals and principles. That's a

8:52

joint statement with the Nets. Also, he

8:54

donated five hundred thousand dollars. The

8:56

Nets matched that five hundred thousand

8:58

dollar donation as well.

9:00

He does not say the words I am

9:02

sorry or the word apologized.

9:05

Does that bother you in

9:07

his joint statement with the Knicks?

9:09

Yes,

9:10

it does. And I wish he would have because

9:12

that would have been the exclamation

9:14

ownership that

9:17

this situation and the severity

9:19

that it has taken place deserves.

9:22

So, yes, I am disappointed in

9:24

that.

9:24

and here's professional

9:27

sports and or

9:29

life 101 The

9:31

reality of this is

9:33

even though I may Udolka was suspended

9:35

for the year and the

9:38

Nets may get some bad p r

9:40

for his higher. Ultimately,

9:43

they've shown us they're trying to

9:45

do one thing in Jacoby, and

9:47

that's when it all costs. And

9:49

there's a a line of demarcation every

9:52

now and there where teams

9:54

and organizations walk to the

9:56

line to the edge of the pool

9:58

and then a certain days they're

9:59

just not willing to do. In

10:01

this case, they're showing we

10:04

need to do a weekend to make this

10:06

go away. So

10:08

let's throw some money at it.

10:10

Mhmm. And and

10:12

and the

10:15

people that like myself

10:17

that don't like to see anyone

10:19

offended or discriminated against.

10:21

That's how it's going to be taken.

10:23

And that's just gonna

10:25

make the flurry of people

10:27

who wanna let their voices be

10:29

heard, whether it's ad games, whether

10:31

it's on social media. Those

10:33

voices, I believe, are gonna be

10:35

just as steadfast if not

10:37

louder after what you

10:39

just acknowledge, no

10:41

apology in theory, or I'm

10:43

sorry in the press release. Yeah.

10:45

I mean, The the money that

10:48

the problem things also stands out to

10:50

me is this five hundred thousand match button

10:52

that's five hundred thousand. That

10:54

million dollars is not going to sort of

10:56

undo the harm that has been

10:58

done by him promoting this

11:01

type of speech, this type

11:03

of film on social media.

11:05

And again, I think that they are just doing everything

11:07

they can to make it to make it go away. Let's

11:09

put out the statement. Let's

11:11

donate some money. Let's just make this go away so

11:13

we can get ready for the next distraction,

11:15

which will be the hiring of Emayudoka, and

11:17

then we can start talking about what happened with him in the

11:19

Celtics this summer. But next, you

11:21

and I are gonna start talking about what

11:23

happened last night in

11:25

Philadelphia. His story performance

11:28

by four Houston astro

11:31

pictures to put together

11:33

a no hitter in the world series. We'll discuss

11:35

that much more red for this you're watching. on the

11:37

Jacoby.

12:29

Coming to your life in the Seaport in

12:31

New York

12:31

city and brought to you by delicious.

12:34

Gray goose vodka. Welcome back

12:36

to Jalen and Jacoby, Jalen

12:38

Anthony Rose. History was made last

12:40

night in Philadelphia where the Houston

12:42

Astros. After previously in

12:44

the series giving up a five run lead,

12:46

that did not happen last night. They

12:48

were up five but they

12:50

know hit the hot

12:52

Philly's lineup. It was Christian

12:54

Javier doing most of the work and then

12:56

three other relievers coming in to finish

12:58

it up. what did you think about this

13:00

great performance by the

13:02

Dodgers starting pit I mean, the astro starting

13:04

picture and the Bolt

13:05

pin. on

13:07

the biggest stage. And in

13:09

an era where offense

13:11

is still something that leagues are

13:13

trying to make a premium. Dominic

13:16

pitching seems to be

13:18

undefeated. This reminded me

13:20

of like when

13:21

Randy Johnson and Kurt Schilling

13:24

for example, won it with the Diamondback. So

13:26

I remember when they got to the team,

13:28

and they were leaving seemed like

13:30

pitching every game with a world series.

13:32

And

13:32

that's the same thing for these

13:35

Astros who bought away. I gotta say this on

13:37

larger Kobe and you're a die easy

13:39

yankee fan. They swept

13:41

the yankees. I thought everybody was

13:43

upset that they cheated.

13:46

I thought everybody was upset that they

13:48

cheated and they're proven that, yeah, we

13:50

cheated before, but we still getting it

13:52

done now. And this is

13:54

history. When you sit there on the edge of your

13:56

seat watching the world series game, and

13:58

wondering if it's gonna be a no

13:59

hitter. And

14:00

four pictures

14:02

due to masterful performance in getting

14:04

it done against an audible

14:06

Philly's lineup. Hey, man.

14:08

That's his story. Especially

14:11

when you consider the the post

14:13

season that Bryce Hart rippers had

14:15

to have him in the lineup, to have a no

14:17

hitter. And you mentioned, like, the the days

14:19

of Randy Johnson, Curt Shilling. I would never

14:22

see a picture after six

14:24

innings of no hit baseball.

14:26

Get pulled from a game and

14:28

everyone just be cool with it. Like in a

14:30

world series game. You've got -- Right. -- six,

14:32

no hit innings. Like, I would just when I was

14:34

a kid that was just never

14:36

discussed and now it happens, and it

14:38

obviously was the right choice in this

14:40

scenario. I'm

14:42

glad you caught

14:45

that example the way I putting

14:47

it down. Correct. Because those

14:49

were the guys that would give you a

14:51

complete game, would give you nine innings,

14:53

and and pitch multiple games in

14:55

the same Sears frees. The game has

14:57

just changed, but you gotta get our

14:59

Astros a ton of credit. Well, it

15:00

looks like there is going to be some change in

15:02

the nation's capital, Washington commander's

15:05

owners have announced that they have hired

15:07

a bank to explore potential

15:09

transactions, and that

15:11

announcement came just an

15:13

hour or so before it

15:16

was brought to the forefront that the

15:18

US attorney's office is

15:20

investigating that very franchise

15:23

for financial improprieties. Jalen,

15:26

this seems to be like the Snyder's trying

15:28

to get ahead of the impasse. announcement

15:30

about the US attorney's office investigation,

15:32

do you think this will

15:34

ultimately lead to the

15:36

Snyder's selling the team outright?

15:38

Boom. Not I

15:41

think that's exactly. Yes, it's the

15:43

answer to that question. And we've

15:45

heard over the past few weeks,

15:48

you know, rumble about whether

15:50

he was getting along with the other

15:52

owners and what he may be willing to

15:54

do in order to try to keep the team

15:56

and he's amount refute

15:57

refute that. But the bottom line,

15:59

I think that the the ends is gonna

16:02

justify the means. And I think

16:04

where we adding, ultimately, once

16:06

first off, they changed the name, something

16:08

that Daniel Snyder said he would never

16:10

do. Now also based on other

16:12

things that have taking place, now it's

16:14

gonna lend to him selling the

16:16

team. In an odd way, this

16:18

does sort of remind me of what

16:20

happened in Phoenix with the sun. It just

16:22

seems like investigation after

16:24

investigation mounting pressures just

16:27

lead someone who is considered by the

16:29

public as a bad owner to end

16:31

up being sort of forced out.

16:33

And it seems like I I

16:35

associate the word investigation with this ranchise

16:37

last couple years, then I do wins

16:39

or quarterbacks. And hopefully,

16:41

this transition can get

16:43

the fans of this team thinking

16:45

more about wins than about

16:48

investigations. Jalen,

16:49

you picked the MVP

16:52

of the NBA in the preseason to beat

16:54

Luca Donjes. Now it's way too early to even have

16:56

that discussion, but Luca has

16:58

started extremely hot, historically hot.

17:00

He has had thirty plus points. In

17:03

every single game, the match have played this season a

17:05

streak only matched by Will

17:07

Chamberlain. What do you think about Luca?

17:09

Hot Start.

17:10

Luca is the

17:12

most unstoppable perimeter player

17:14

in the league. That

17:16

that's that's exactly what it is.

17:19

And and let

17:19

me tell you the way ladies

17:22

and gentlemen. Can't guard them with

17:24

a guard. Can't guard them with

17:26

a wing. Too little in

17:29

a lot cases or he's just too good.

17:32

Cancun would have been too

17:34

skilled. If you don't believe me, just look at

17:36

the Son series last year. He posted

17:38

up one through five if he had to the

17:40

score. He's doing

17:41

that again.

17:42

Also, range on

17:45

the jumper. He

17:47

shoots that three ball.

17:50

Terrific creator of the

17:52

dribble. And also,

17:55

can play through content. And so

17:58

when I see Luca, and

18:00

by

18:00

the way,

18:01

still gonna teammates around a

18:04

biological. Yeah. That's

18:05

my point. Somebody cuts,

18:07

feed them. Somebody's open,

18:09

feed them. I get double, drop it

18:11

off. Grabbing boards everything. When you're in a

18:13

conversation with Will Chamberlain, and

18:16

you've scored thirty straight in

18:18

seven games to start

18:20

season. That that's a level of dominance

18:22

that only few can

18:24

even imagine, and the sky's the limit

18:26

for its potential. A

18:29

couple

18:29

of things about this start is when

18:31

you get compared with Wilt

18:33

Chamberlain, you're talking about That is obviously,

18:36

historical accomplishment in its own right, but you hit the

18:38

nail in the head to me. Well, Chamberlain wasn't

18:40

out here getting double digit assist. You know what

18:42

I mean? Like, he was putting up his numbers, but

18:44

he was very much scoring to score. Luca

18:47

Sanchez is keeping the ball in his

18:49

hands, making his teammates better, giving

18:51

people open shots. And I know what

18:53

you're about to say. I know you. You're

18:55

about he was getting rebounds. You're saying, Will was getting rebounds. Go ahead.

18:57

Go ahead. Just say it. I

19:00

was actually gonna

19:00

say, Will lead

19:03

the league in assists. before

19:05

because he got mad at people just

19:07

like yourself acknowledging the points and

19:09

the rebound. So when you see the

19:12

Joker getting those triple doubles,

19:15

and passings numbers

19:17

for BX. He's also gonna be

19:19

compared to Will.

19:21

Absolutely. And when you think about great

19:24

scores in the league, like, they don't always

19:26

hit thirty. You know what I mean? They're gonna be some twenty eight

19:28

and twenty fives in there, but it seems like

19:30

Luca is getting thirty every

19:32

time he ties his shoelaces.

19:34

We don't have a lot of time, but I wanna very

19:36

quickly recognize something that I recognized

19:38

last night. The Knicks had a

19:40

big lead against the Hawks. in

19:42

the garden. I had seen

19:44

this movie before. They're

19:46

on five twenty in the second

19:48

quarter. I'm watching this game and I say to

19:50

myself no chance they hold on to this lead.

19:52

And it was Trey

19:54

Young who got bucked in the eye, so he didn't

19:56

really contribute that much in the second half.

19:58

But it was the new talk to

19:59

Dante Murray that powered this

20:02

comeback. It seems inevitable that the

20:04

Hawks just own the Knicks. So

20:07

This is becoming a nice

20:10

eastern conference little rivalry.

20:12

And that's what happens when you

20:14

play against a team in a playoffs.

20:16

And as you mentioned, Trey Young

20:18

didn't have one of his greatest

20:21

games, but he became a star on that

20:23

stage officially when you

20:25

joined in the post season. So now you add the

20:27

Dante Murray. I talked about all star

20:29

backcourt in Cleveland, Atlanta's

20:31

online one because they have

20:34

an opportunity need to have that as well. And both of these

20:36

back courts are young, but I have to ask

20:38

you, when your Knicks' uneasiness

20:40

was up twenty three

20:43

and RJ Barrett was making right corner threes. What

20:45

were you saying about this game? Let

20:48

me open up

20:49

my live bet thing app

20:51

and bet against the Knicks because I know

20:53

they're going to blow this lead. That's

20:56

exactly what I was thinking.

20:58

I'm glad you asked and I'm glad

21:00

I put that bet in because if you

21:02

can bet on anything, you know the

21:04

Knicks are going to blow a lead to the Hawks

21:06

in Madison Square Garden.

21:08

General Rose, we will be back right

21:10

after this is my arm short

21:13

break.

21:18

Double

21:24

header

21:24

Friday night on ESP and

21:26

starting with the Bulls going up against

21:28

the Celtics in Boston at seven thirty, and then

21:30

in the night cap, it is Yonas and

21:32

the undefeated Bucks. against the

21:35

new look timberwolves. Welcome

21:37

back

21:37

to Jail Ninja Goge and Jail and Rose. What

21:39

do we do every day on this program?

21:42

Sally, we still acknowledging that Brittany

21:44

Greiner's wrongfully detained in Russia

21:46

now two hundred and fifty nine days. So

21:48

we wish

21:49

you a speedy safe return to

21:51

the United States. Thursday night football

21:53

tonight. It is the Eagles against the

21:56

Texins. And every time the Eagles take the

21:58

field, I bet generally hurts the score

22:00

touchdown. And he's score a

22:02

touchdown in four of the seven

22:04

games so far this season. That

22:06

mean that's

22:07

a good bet, sir. What

22:09

you gotta add is that he's going

22:11

row two and run for one.

22:14

Because he's been that dynamic

22:16

and coming into this season once you

22:18

add a j Brown with the weapons

22:20

they already have, try to figure how long

22:22

it's gonna take for those guys to connect.

22:25

They was connecting tight windows

22:27

last weekend, looking out standing

22:29

out there. Yep. I'm

22:30

a little wary of the fourteen

22:32

point spread, so I'll probably just

22:34

go muddy line parlade with

22:37

hertz touchdown. No

22:39

problem. because don't sleep in the mornings, losing games,

22:41

but losing games closely like your

22:43

lions. We'll be back tomorrow, ESPN

22:45

two, four PM. Yeah.

22:47

yeah Lions,

22:49

Tigers, and tailkates. Oh,

22:51

my the college football season is always a

22:53

great time of year besides the jerseys, the face paint,

22:55

and the foam fingers. There's the

22:57

food and nothing. Gets you more fired

22:59

up for game day than acreage smoked

23:02

sausage. They're naturally hardwood

23:05

smoked. and have the perfect blend of

23:07

spices from buffalo sausage

23:09

dip, to sausage, chili, cheese,

23:11

mac, and cheese. Ecrude smoked sausage

23:14

23:16

23:27

Eck crich, you

23:30

do

23:30

you. We always have to

23:32

get

23:33

to do what they want. Part of that is

23:35

doing podcast exclusive content for

23:38

our podcast listeners. Jale

23:40

and Anthony Rose. A couple of

23:42

things I would like to discuss with

23:45

you.

23:46

One of those things that I would like to discuss

23:49

is your pistons.

23:55

D.

23:56

Try mask. people. It

23:58

was

23:58

just so

23:59

nice to watch them get that big win

24:02

over the warriors.

24:05

And to see that happened

24:07

in the building in that manner was

24:09

great.

24:09

But I look up and I

24:11

saw him lose to the bucks last night.

24:14

And now they're two

24:15

and seven. And everyone's so excited

24:17

about this team going into the season.

24:19

But after nine games, I did not expect them

24:21

to be two and seven. What has

24:24

gone wrong and how

24:25

do they get it

24:27

right? I would

24:29

say after

24:32

third nine games, I would have hoped for five

24:34

and four or four and five --

24:36

Mhmm. -- to be honest with you. Based

24:40

on the fact that I

24:43

see

24:43

improvement in our young roster.

24:49

one of the things though that has

24:51

to become

24:54

more effective is killing it

24:56

hay. And I

24:59

was watching the calves and

25:01

I thought about how they

25:03

were building their team. And we

25:05

have one of the best GMs in the

25:07

league in Troy Weaver.

25:09

Everybody

25:09

knows this. But

25:12

the one

25:12

thing about drafting trading

25:15

for players and whatnot. Every

25:17

now and then, you're not gonna battle

25:19

battle a thousand.

25:23

And so as the cast built

25:25

out the team that you see on the

25:27

floor, it started with

25:29

Colin Sexton. That's who

25:31

it started with.

25:33

He showed that he could

25:34

be a productive player

25:38

a starting

25:38

level point guard, flirting

25:42

with, you know, being a

25:45

twenty point dependent on the

25:47

situation, you know, and that

25:49

would be, you know, a lot of

25:51

retain, but he has the ability

25:53

to do that. and

25:56

so he develops to be a

25:58

player. Then all of a sudden

26:00

you start to build a roster. You

26:02

get Alan in love You get

26:07

Garland. You draft

26:10

Mobley.

26:10

Say next day gets hurt.

26:14

This all

26:14

sees that you acquire Donovan

26:17

Mitchell. You know who

26:19

you used in order to help

26:21

make that happen? Sexton

26:23

Holly.

26:23

Sexton. And

26:25

Mark working in. And Laurie

26:28

Marking

26:28

in. Now, you look at a box

26:30

score that Jazz have been playing well.

26:32

Laurie Marking has had a thirty and

26:34

eleven game. Mhmm. They're off

26:36

to a surprising start. So

26:39

what I'm bringing up is

26:41

set accent. Them

26:43

not missing on the sextant

26:46

pick became a valuable

26:48

entree into them.

26:50

doubling down on having all

26:52

stars like Allan and Garland,

26:54

and now saying we can mortgage some

26:56

pigs at a young a

26:59

couple of young players and turn that into

27:01

a proven young talent like

27:04

Donovan Mitchell.

27:06

In Detroit, when

27:08

you miss O'Killy

27:10

and Hayes, they

27:14

already has outplayed his draft

27:17

status for him to be NBA

27:20

level starter and to already have

27:22

fifth fifty points in the

27:24

game when he went into the middle of a

27:26

first round. That's is

27:29

it exquisite value.

27:33

Isaiah Stewart, the exact same

27:35

thing. As an undersized

27:37

guy, is gonna play with effort is gonna

27:39

go after boars, block shots,

27:41

throw his body around, but he's

27:43

not six or left.

27:45

but he improved his

27:48

game and now he can make

27:50

threes. He's shooting jumps out

27:52

because that was that jumped out to me

27:54

when I was in the building, I was like, is I

27:56

is is Beeps too? Not just shooting threes,

27:58

but, like, confidently

27:59

shooting threes, and his teammates are, like, not

28:02

even going for the because they feel like

28:04

it's gonna go in when he's open.

28:07

Correct.

28:09

Yeah. Let's talk building a

28:12

team through the draft in a

28:14

market where you're not normally getting a free

28:16

agent even like a Jeremy Grant who chose

28:18

to go to Detroit. And now

28:20

he's in Portland. grateful that he chose to do

28:22

so. But we gotta build through the

28:24

draft and kill him and be

28:26

Stu who's now making threes.

28:29

are integral pieces of that along with bay.

28:32

Where bay and beeps two have already

28:34

outplayed their draft status. and

28:37

have shown that they're gonna be productive NBA

28:39

players for a long time. Kelly

28:42

and Hayes is still a question mark.

28:44

So now when you get k number

28:47

one overall and they don't

28:49

become the dynamic duo in the

28:51

backcourt. The next year

28:54

you take Jay Nike, now they

28:56

have the potential to be the future

28:58

dynamic all star level backcourt as I

29:00

predicted. And Jaylon

29:02

Duran as a big down low

29:04

who just He muscles

29:05

everywhere. He looked like dang. He

29:07

looked like dang. Well, he just got

29:08

muscles on muscles. Jacoby eighteen.

29:11

I'll hear Dunkin' on people.

29:14

but

29:14

the one is killing a

29:16

haze. When you have that seventh

29:18

to pick, man,

29:21

say for example what happened comes

29:23

Halliburton. Right?

29:25

Then you don't have to do

29:27

what you do in the draft. You already have

29:29

a guy that's getting twenty and

29:32

ten Indiana Pacers. So

29:34

that that's the player that we're

29:36

gonna need to continue

29:38

to grow, work in be productive

29:41

so that this rebuild can put

29:43

us into the playoffs at a steady

29:45

spot this year. Alright. I'm

29:46

gonna keep it to throw for a second we had

29:48

such a great weekend. Thank you again for just

29:50

hosting me all weekend. It was amazing experience.

29:52

Thank you. forget. But one of

29:54

the things that have in this week with

29:56

the Detroit Lions as Hockinson got

29:58

traded. And he said and he said

30:00

in a quote, now I

30:03

get ready to win some

30:05

games first time I've

30:07

really been able to say that.

30:09

How do you feel about the

30:11

parting shot? from your

30:14

guy, Hawkins, who's on your Fantasy

30:16

team. Desire

30:18

curved. When you won one playoff

30:20

game in sixty years, you can't fight

30:23

facts. Just because Boldy

30:25

James and Royce and

30:27

megatron and Berry Sanders and me are all

30:29

loyal to the alliance for whatever

30:31

reasons. That don't mean the players

30:33

gotta be, especially when

30:35

they feel like they got

30:37

done wrong. And then going into

30:39

his contract year,

30:41

I felt early he

30:43

should have been getting the football more. And I

30:46

don't know,

30:47

you

30:48

know, what what changed from

30:50

a dynamic of a guy's plan at a pro

30:52

bowl level like last year.

30:55

I I don't know

30:57

exactly where to attribute his core a

30:59

quote slow start, but I'll tell you

31:01

this. You don't get banner as a

31:03

franchise when you draft Darius

31:05

slay. Keep

31:07

comes in all prone and then you let

31:08

them go to Philly. You

31:11

don't

31:11

become better when you drive

31:14

Hawkins and he becomes an all

31:16

pro, and you let him

31:17

go to the bike. That's a

31:20

great point, Taylor. And you mentioned Boldy

31:22

James. You got his phone number. Right?

31:26

Absolutely. because he's got a project

31:28

coming out tomorrow. Could you use that

31:30

phone and see if you can get him on the

31:32

show tomorrow?

31:33

Absolutely. Khan creature, Boldy,

31:37

James. I'm gonna hit him up to

31:39

see if he could join Taylor because

31:41

he got bars and stories.

31:43

And you know it's crazy

31:45

talking to him at the game. He he said

31:47

he was inspired by Biggie.

31:49

And it totally makes sense

31:52

at the pace and the cadence that he

31:54

wraps. So make sure y'all support my guy,

31:56

Bo Jack, and I'll get

31:58

him on the show to talk about mister

32:00

ten o eight out

32:02

Friday. That'll be

32:04

tomorrow show. We will have a show tomorrow

32:06

while that, Jalen Anthony.

32:08

Roe. We're not done. We're

32:10

not done. We are not

32:14

done.
