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

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.
