This is the unsportsmanlike podcast
0:05
on ESPN Radio. playoffs
0:08
are set in the NBA. By
0:11
the way, before we get to that quickly, Jets
0:15
are at it again. Oh, what now? Well,
0:18
not really a what now. I mean, maybe,
0:20
but they tweeted out the video of Rogers
0:22
just walking in there today. Very
0:26
excited about it. Happy to see you
0:28
too at Aaron Rodgers 12. He's
0:30
smiling. He's got the hoodie. He's got the
0:33
sunglasses. He's got the hat. Offseason
0:35
champs. Here we come, baby. Offseason
0:39
champs. I will give him that
0:41
last offseason for Aaron Rodgers Electric.
0:44
This offseason? Oh, every offseason for Aaron Rodgers
0:46
the last four or five years has been
0:48
electric. But ever since the Green Bay Packers
0:50
drafted Jordan Love, we've been on Rogers watch
0:52
every single offseason. We have but
0:54
I'm saying last year with the Jets.
0:56
We all thought wow, this is a
0:58
different version of Aaron Rodgers. He's doing
1:01
everything right. He's hanging out with his
1:03
teammates. He's being a great representative of
1:05
the Jets. He gave back 35 million
1:07
dollars. 35 million dollars. Amazing
1:09
addition to this conversation. It was all great
1:11
and then he runs out of the tunnel
1:13
with the American flag on September 11th. That
1:17
was amazing. Four plays
1:19
in not so much, but he did a
1:21
really good job in the offseason last year.
1:23
Who knew that this time last year the
1:25
pinnacle of Aaron Rodgers 2023 was going to
1:27
be him running out of the stadium tunnel
1:29
with the American flag on 9-11. It
1:32
was pretty good. That was great. It
1:34
was great until it wasn't very quickly
1:36
until it wasn't until it wasn't. Okay,
1:38
congratulations for the Jets. They're starting their
1:40
offseason program putting their team back together.
1:43
Here we go. All right.
1:45
Let's go. They're
1:47
certainly not leaning away from Rogers. I'll tell you
1:50
that much. But they have to lean in. They
1:52
put this whole thing around him. He's their only hope
1:54
of being good. They have to lean in. But
1:56
anyone who thought hey, maybe they would take
1:58
a more measured approach. of balancing
2:01
a 53-man roster. They didn't sign
2:03
all of Rodgers friends this offseason
2:05
and not fully leaning in. How many friends
2:07
are left really to sign? I don't know how many.
2:09
Most of them are retirees. They already got
2:11
almost all of the guys that he would
2:14
want. But they start off their offseason program
2:16
with the big tweet. There
2:19
we go. Congratulations. Alright NBA playoffs set
2:21
of playing games. We have Miami and
2:23
Philadelphia in the East as well as
2:26
Chicago and Atlanta. In the West we
2:28
have New Orleans in LA, that is
2:30
the Lakers, and then Golden State and
2:33
Sacramento. Those are your playing games. Your number one
2:35
seed to Oklahoma City in the West. Boston,
2:38
I think we've known since week two of
2:40
the regular season in the East. And
2:43
we have juicy matchups that are already
2:45
set. Dallas and the Clippers.
2:47
Oh yeah. That's a good one. Minnesota
2:49
and Phoenix got a little heated yesterday
2:51
with Devin Booker and Bradley Beal. In
2:53
the Eastern Conference maybe not as much.
2:55
But Orlando and Cleveland, well or Cleveland
2:57
wanted Orlando and they got Orlando. But
2:59
Milwaukee and Indiana had some juice because
3:01
those two teams went at it at
3:03
times during the course of the season.
3:06
There was a whole controversy about who
3:08
gets the game ball earlier this year.
3:10
Indiana really had their number. The
3:12
number one storyline for you right now in the
3:14
postseason is what? What jumps out at you the
3:16
most going into it? I
3:18
mean it'd probably be who's trying to fight to
3:21
get into it right? I mean the
3:23
Sixers on the Eastern Conference side. I mean everybody
3:25
is looking at them as the alternative to Boston
3:27
to represent that conference in the finals. And in
3:29
the West you got the Golden State Warriors and
3:31
the LA Lakers. Like I just want to see
3:33
which one of them is going to be able
3:35
to punch their ticket to get into the tournament.
3:37
So that's exciting to
3:39
see. You would like that both
3:41
of them could but the likelihood of that
3:43
happening. So the non-summit is just that is
3:46
exciting for me to watch how all of
3:48
this plays itself out with those three teams
3:50
and whether or not they can get into
3:52
a real playoff series. Yeah so we're
3:54
talking overall in the playoffs not just
3:56
playing right? Obviously. To me it's are
3:58
the Celtics as dominant as we think they
4:01
are because the last time they won
4:03
this minigame 64 they won
4:05
a title an 0708 it's been a minute it's
4:07
the fourth most regular season wins
4:10
in franchise history Jason
4:12
Tatum and the Boston Celtics have been on
4:14
the precipice of a championship for a long
4:17
time we assume that he's the next guy
4:19
to break through but we've seen some disappointments
4:21
from the Boston Celtics in the playoffs obviously
4:23
so what version of Jason Tatum and the
4:26
Boston Celtics are we going to get the
4:28
dominant team that we've seen in the regular
4:30
season or is it going to be another
4:32
playoff disappointment and if so what are the
4:35
ramifications about so if we were to come up
4:37
with a playoff draft and we're gonna create a overall
4:39
playoff lineup of the players that we are
4:42
most confident in to play at the highest
4:44
level for the longest I'm gonna assume Jokic
4:46
is the first pick in that number one
4:49
who's second Anthony
4:51
Edwards I could see
4:53
them losing the first round but you're
4:55
saying for the entirety of their
4:58
careers this postseason this postseason who
5:00
is the player outside of Jokic
5:02
that you have the most confident
5:04
in confidence in excuse me to
5:06
play the longest this postseason at
5:08
the highest level Luca Dodges I think
5:10
they could lose in the first round okay
5:13
and Lucas is your first or you would
5:15
put Jokic first though right yeah okay and
5:17
Lucas second yeah I would go
5:20
Tatum and I would throw and beat in there because
5:23
I think Philadelphia is very dangerous and
5:25
that we could see them get
5:27
to the conference finals does anyone feel
5:29
like Shay should be in that conversation hmm
5:37
yes he should be in the conversation but
5:39
my confidence level is not necessarily the same
5:42
the question that becomes do I think that the
5:44
Oklahoma City Thunder can beat the Denver Nuggets if
5:46
they get to the conference finals and the answer
5:48
would be no yeah but you do think if
5:50
there were to be an upset Dallas would be
5:52
your team that you think Dallas could get to
5:54
the conference finals and upset
5:58
the Denver Nuggets I do think What
6:00
about Brunson? Brunson
6:03
is great, man. I love Brunson. I
6:05
love Brunson. I just don't know that
6:07
the Knicks have the firepower outside
6:10
of him to get there. I mean, I
6:13
know they're going to show up. I know they're going to play hard.
6:16
And that's a big part of it. I
6:18
just don't know that they're going to have the firepower offensively to
6:21
be able to hang with
6:23
the other teams in the Eastern Conference that
6:25
we would think are championship contenders. I
6:27
know they're lower seeds, but I think it's
6:29
interesting that we haven't brought up LeBron, Steph,
6:32
Kevin Durant. Well, Durant's interesting.
6:34
If you could see them, which I
6:36
could, upsetting Minnesota in the
6:38
first round. The problem with this argument now is
6:40
they get Denver in the second round. If they
6:43
got Oklahoma City in the second round, meaning
6:45
if Denver was a one, you may look at
6:48
the Suns and say, hey, that's a good go
6:50
to ESPN bet. That's a sleeper conference finals pick.
6:52
But because Denver would be sitting there waiting
6:54
for them, that's a hard one. I think
6:56
the number one team that I'm looking at
6:58
that could change our viewpoint on them is
7:01
actually Milwaukee. And Giannis could skyrocket up that
7:03
draft board, so to speak. If
7:05
Milwaukee has a series in the first round where let's
7:07
just say for argument's sake, they beat Indiana, as you've
7:09
been saying, gentlemen, sweet, five games. We
7:12
may sit here and say, OK, we have to recalibrate our
7:14
thought process on Milwaukee. Yes. Because
7:16
they would then get the winner of the Knicks in the seventh
7:18
seed. Let's call it Philadelphia. Milwaukee
7:20
at that point, they win the first round of five.
7:23
Giannis is healthy. We're not going to see that. If
7:25
they win the first round of five against the
7:28
Knicks, yeah, yeah, yeah. Then I'm with you on
7:30
that one. Like Milwaukee against the Pacers. It
7:33
doesn't matter who they play in the second round,
7:35
whether it's the Knicks or the Sixers. Like I
7:37
think Milwaukee could be, you know, would probably be
7:39
favored in that series. I mean, you look
7:41
at Milwaukee now, I think they have the second best odds in
7:43
the Eastern Conference to win a title. So
7:45
it's not as if the odds makers are
7:48
dismissing what the Bucks can be. I'm
7:50
just going to go ahead and dismiss them based on
7:52
what I've seen the eyeball test this year. And
7:55
there's a reason why they fired Adrian Griffin.
7:57
There's a reason why it's been clunky on
7:59
their diet. rivers. There's a reason why
8:01
all of these things have
8:03
seemingly come up in terms of questions about the
8:05
long-term future of all of the key actors there.
8:07
So I just I don't trust
8:10
the Milwaukee Bucks in given how they played
8:13
against the Pacers in the regular season being
8:15
one and four if you include the in-season
8:17
tournament games. Yeah I
8:20
don't think it's outside of the realm of possibility that they
8:22
get bounced in the first round. Let me
8:24
add one other team that could we could recalibrate
8:26
our thoughts on right if they do something in
8:28
the first round. So we're all in agreement. I
8:30
know you're gonna say the Clippers. That's
8:32
right. You're gonna say the Clippers. Okay go ahead.
8:34
No and you're absolutely right because if they were
8:36
be able to beat Luke Adonch and
8:39
Shikari over to the Mavs that means that
8:41
they get the Oklahoma City Thunder more likely
8:43
than not in the second round and with
8:45
a young team like that in the playoff
8:47
pedigree of Kawhi Leonard and Paul George and
8:49
Ty Lou I could absolutely see a scenario
8:52
where that team gets to the conference finals
8:54
and defensively you have to think that they
8:56
have the pieces that would match up against
8:58
the Denver Nuggets. I mean Jokic is gonna
9:00
get his but you could lock down everybody
9:02
else which I think would be the key
9:04
right. So yeah the Clippers could
9:07
change the way we feel about them if
9:09
they're able to beat the Mavs because I
9:11
think the Mavs had the best tandem right
9:13
now going into the playoffs in
9:15
terms of the way that they're playing between Kyrie and
9:17
Luca if the Clippers cut
9:20
the faucet off with the Dallas Mavericks then that
9:23
would let everybody else around the NBA know that
9:25
they are for real in terms of them going
9:27
on a deep playoff run and living up to
9:29
the promise that everybody thought they
9:31
had when they traded for Paul George and
9:34
bought in Kawhi Leonard and free agency. I'll
9:37
add one other idea on this there's one team
9:39
I think that if they win in the first
9:41
round that we are
9:43
not considering as a title contender that we
9:45
will immediately say as a title contender if
9:48
the Lakers somehow upset the Nuggets in
9:50
the first round oh we
9:53
will then say why can't they go and win
9:55
a title they've already beaten the hardest
9:57
team right right everything else in theory
9:59
should be easier now wear and tear
10:01
on the body as it goes does
10:03
it make it easier right because you're
10:05
gonna have Anthony Davis who normally
10:08
is banged up not this year and the brand
10:10
up he got back spasas play how many games
10:14
but he played way more
10:16
games this year so I think that
10:18
the thought process would
10:22
recalibrate for a good first round from
10:24
Milwaukee and a win for the Clippers
10:26
we'd recalibrate our thought process there and
10:29
all hell would break loose if the Lakers beat
10:31
the Republicans and then beat the Nuggets all hell
10:33
breaks loose at that point no
10:36
doubt because you're going to default to LeBron
10:38
James and the conversation will be why did
10:40
we dismiss him why did we count him
10:42
out look he's doing it again will you
10:44
feel the same way about the heat if
10:46
they somehow find a way to win not
10:48
if they beat the Knicks if they beat the
10:50
Celtics yeah then all of a
10:52
sudden I'll start thinking things what about the goal to stay warriors
10:55
walk me through it so they beat the
10:57
kings they beat what do you
10:59
want to say the Lakers of the Pelicans they beat the
11:01
Pelicans and now they're the
11:04
eighth seed they've already had the two hardest
11:06
moments so far they may be
11:08
deep I take the Thunder in game one I'll tell
11:10
you that much of that series considering they'll be exhausted
11:13
but then yeah do you recalibrate them yes
11:16
but that second round matchup if they get by
11:18
the first round it's still difficult with the Clippers
11:20
see the thing about the heat as the
11:23
eighth seed or even the Sixers as the
11:25
eighth season play up you're about to be
11:27
so disrespectful no no play this yes I
11:29
know you're about to be so disrespectful the
11:31
first round is so much harder for
11:33
those two teams the sheet and the Sixers the
11:36
plan and the first round would be
11:38
way harder than the second round yeah
11:40
because if you're Miami or Philadelphia the
11:43
loser Miami Philadelphia gets Boston if somehow
11:45
you beat Boston you then
11:47
get the winner of the Cavs and the Magic
11:49
you could win that in five yeah I
11:52
don't want to take a team for granted but I'm just taking those teams
11:54
for granted then all of a sudden that
11:57
eight feet now that now we just went somewhere else the
11:59
eighth season is interesting in the Eastern
12:01
Conference. Get the Celtics out of the way.
12:03
You're gonna have to either beat them at some
12:05
point, beat them early,
12:07
all of a sudden winner of the Cavs and the
12:09
Magic and then whoever is in the conference
12:11
finals. Okay
12:14
here, how about this one? Is
12:16
it ridiculous to think that this is not the only time
12:18
the Sixers and the Heat play in the playoffs? Wow,
12:23
I see where you're going with this. Is that
12:25
an absurd question to ask? I see where you're
12:27
going with this one. Meaning they would meet in
12:29
the, they would play in the play-in and
12:31
the conference finals. That would be
12:33
spicy, wouldn't it? We've never seen anything like
12:36
that. Of course we haven't. Of course. That
12:38
would be spicy. No, it sounded more dramatic because the play-in
12:40
just started. That
12:43
would be spicy. You're not
12:45
writing in a 1% chance? If
12:47
it was those two and not Boston, that
12:49
would be outrageous. I
12:52
mean under those circumstances they're absolutely trading
12:54
Jalen Brown, right? If
12:56
the Boston Celtics lose in the first
12:58
round series, they're absolutely trading Jalen Brown.
13:00
They're firing Missoula. He's out of here.
13:04
And then they'd probably be trading Jalen Brown rather
13:06
than paying him, right? Because you can't commit 700
13:09
million dollars to two players just to get bounced
13:11
in the first round of the playoffs after winning
13:13
64 games? I'd want them though. If
13:16
I'm another team, I'm cool. I'll pay him 50 million
13:18
dollars a year. He's damn good. I'll
13:21
pay him whatever it is. It's just they can't
13:23
keep going. Correct. Wow.
13:25
All right. We just got, what's the word, spicy?
13:27
I think we just got very spicy with that.
13:29
Controversial. Controversial. We just asked the question, is it
13:31
possible that the Heat and the Sixers will play
13:33
twice in the postseason? Andrea
13:36
Carter, ESPN basketball analyst, WNBA tonight. We'll talk
13:38
to her. We have a draft tonight. Excuse
13:41
me. We'll talk to her about that next.
13:43
We're on Sportsman Like on ESPN Radio. Have
13:46
you ridden an electric e-bike yet? You
13:48
need to check out Electric E-Bikes today, the
13:50
number one selling e-bike in America. Two things
13:52
stand out that bikers love about electric. Number
13:54
one, the majority of their models come preassembled
13:56
so you don't need to be a bike
13:58
savant to ride a bike. ride them. Number
14:01
2. Electric wants to empower
14:03
riders to spend more time exploring outside
14:05
on their bikes so they've made range
14:07
a priority. Long range batteries
14:10
allow riders to hit typically around 65 miles
14:12
of range or up to 150 miles on
14:15
some models. Bonus! Electric
14:18
has purposefully priced their bikes to be affordably
14:20
awesome so you don't have to break the
14:22
bank to get these sweet rides. See

Draft is tonight. And
15:22
joining us now. She has been
15:24
the star of women's college basketball and
15:26
Caitlin Clark. But anyway, it doesn't matter. Andrea
15:28
Carter has been on the coverage of all
15:31
of the college basketball with ESPN and of

15:36
with the WNBA Draft and joins us
15:38
now here on unsportsmanlike with Michelle, Chris
15:40
and Evan. Alright, let's start with this.
15:42
The obvious first question, Saturday Night Live.
15:45
How awesome was that that Caitlin Clark was on?
15:48
It was like sweet redemption. Explain.
15:51
It was beautiful. Like just for her to
15:53
go on, once she brought her teammates up
15:55
there, the jokes landed. She handled everything with
15:57
grace, which Caitlin always does. And it was.
16:00
funny it was such a
16:02
great way to respond to
16:04
the empty bar jokes and all the all
16:06
the women's sports jokes that
16:08
have happened on that show just come
16:10
on throw it right back in their face to handle it
16:12
with confidence to handle it with class and to have some
16:14
fun with it and actually just be like no here's what's
16:16
really going on in women's sports and let me come on
16:19
and tell you about it as 24 million
16:21
people just watch me play on national
16:23
television it was great oh it's
16:25
awesome absolutely no doubt about it so let's
16:27
shift our focus to the draft tonight I
16:30
know everybody's excited about Caitlin Clark being selected
16:32
first to the Indiana fever but what's next
16:34
who should we be paying most attention to
16:36
what team in the draft has to absolutely
16:39
nail it in terms of getting it right
16:41
to get their franchise to a position where they
16:43
can be consistently competitive yeah I think my eyes
16:45
are on the sparks they have the second pick and they
16:48
have the fourth pick like when you have two top
16:50
five picks this is a team that missed the
16:52
playoffs but this is a storied
16:54
franchise when it comes to winning
16:57
WNBA championships they lose NECA GUMICAY
16:59
who is one of the
17:01
greatest leaders that this league has seen
17:03
they lose her to Seattle so their
17:06
ability to draft correctly two players in
17:08
the lottery they've had their picks but
17:10
those two players in that top five
17:12
who they go with how those players
17:15
fit into their system and what
17:17
they can do it might not happen this year
17:19
like I'm not saying they're gonna make a push
17:21
in the playoffs this season but for them to
17:23
move forward and get back to being that storied
17:25
franchise that we've known the sparks to be my
17:27
eyes are on them in the dream scenario who
17:29
would those two players be for them you
17:31
know it's tough honestly between it
17:33
for me between Rakia Jackson
17:36
because just a natural gifted score out
17:38
of Tennessee Go Lady Boss Rakia Jackson
17:40
Camila Cardoso gives you six, seven gives
17:43
you size, gives you energy on the
17:45
glass. That's that's something that's an area
17:47
that they struggled in. so rebounding Camilla
17:49
can bring that efficient scoring Camilla can
17:52
bring that Camilla's played with grown women
17:54
and her national team with Brazil So
17:56
I think bringing that experience helps too
17:59
So Camilla Cardoso Rakia Jackson Kim Brink
18:01
I think would give them links athleticism
18:03
on both ends the finishing ability. Those
18:05
are three players that I would imagine
18:08
really go anywhere from. Two, three, or
18:10
four legacy. Chicago taking one of them and I
18:12
guess the L a second the other two.
18:14
So we know Caitlin Clark has certainly embrace
18:16
the spotlight. Another young ladies and the same
18:18
as Angel release announcing that she's gonna see
18:20
an address in Vog. With that that was
18:22
very amazing. Aware D C her landing what's
18:24
a great spot for her? Yeah, it's tough
18:26
you know With Enron of people talked about
18:28
her potentially going to you on Minnesota team.
18:30
Or you're being. In the top ten
18:32
early in the season, she wasn't in the
18:35
sub senate or sometimes she was even in
18:37
the first round. But the thing about Angel
18:39
see as a relentless rebounder, her energy, her
18:41
passion, her competitive spirit that she plays with.
18:44
She's working on developing her jump shot. I've
18:46
been told she shoots the ball more than
18:48
we've seen her do at Ls You. That's
18:50
going to be pivotal to her staying in
18:53
the league. But as far as getting on
18:55
a theme and making an impact in bringing
18:57
that energy, Wanting to learn, Wanting to compete,
18:59
Wanting to? When I could see Angel. Having
19:02
success anywhere. That she goes I'm I'm
19:04
curious because she did actually talk about how
19:06
she was the top rated when cove about
19:08
a high school douses litter for to display.
19:10
Moreover arsenal of the most level theocracy gonna
19:12
have to do that in order to be
19:14
successful. Player does have zero Zero Zero have.
19:16
To if she wants to be the impact player that
19:19
I think she. Wants to be right of social, be more
19:21
than a role player if she wants to be more than. Someone
19:23
that comes into the game to get rebounds
19:25
and bring in. Really? she's already going to
19:27
do that for a team, but this skill
19:29
set right here. knocking down jump, start, putting
19:31
the ball on the floor, getting to the
19:33
rim and finishing in an unorthodox way but
19:35
also finishing in a powerful way. Been at
19:37
creator if she can do that. So us
19:39
staying power in the league and Impact power
19:41
in league When you talk about being an
19:43
all. Star. Down the road, those. Type of
19:45
things that I think Angel wants to do with her
19:47
career. All the skill and and showing that that's what's
19:50
gonna be that gets for their what she has right
19:52
now will keep her on. a team with our with
19:54
andre carter's at a phenomenal job author other women certainly
19:56
get ready for the w b a draft tonight seven
19:58
thirty pm eastern on yeah We know
20:01
how great Kaitlyn Clark is. We know she's a mega star. Is
20:03
she definitively the best player in this draft? You have to take
20:05
her one. Yes. Is she definitively the best player in the draft?
20:08
Yes, I would say Kaitlyn is definitively
20:10
the best player. She's the number one
20:12
pick. Her skill set is unmatched in
20:14
terms of her range, her passing
20:17
ability, her size. Like people forget how tall
20:19
Kaitlyn is at the point guard position. So
20:21
tall, it made my voice squeak. You hear that? She's tall. I've
20:23
got to work on that for the draft so that doesn't happen
20:25
tonight. But her vision and the thing about
20:27
Kaitlyn too is she always found a way. She makes
20:30
the right reads. Even with her teammates at Iowa, she
20:32
was making the right reads, getting the ball where
20:35
it needs to go, taking good shots for Kaitlyn
20:37
Clark. So with her teammates around her at the
20:39
next level, you're going to put
20:41
stars around her, you're going to put talent around her and she's
20:43
going to be able to capitalize off of those opportunities, whether it's
20:45
setting them up or cooking and eating
20:47
for herself. So I think for Kaitlyn, her skill
20:49
set is unmatched. I'd say that talent level
20:52
is ridiculous as far as it goes. Andre, who's the
20:54
team this summer that can get on the level with
20:56
the New York, with the New York Liberty and the
20:58
Las Vegas Aces? Because those are the two super teams
21:00
in the WNBA. Who can get on the level with
21:02
them? I would say Seattle. Like
21:05
when you talk about a Seattle team that
21:07
now has Jewell Lloyd, Nneka Gomakay and Skylar
21:09
Diggins-Smith, like Nneka and Skylar and Jewell, the
21:12
way Jewell scored last season with a team
21:14
that struggled all around her all season long,
21:16
Skylar and the energy that she plays with,
21:18
the defensive mindset that she plays with and
21:21
the way she can put pressure on the
21:23
rim and get into the paint. And
21:26
then you bring in the leadership and finishing ability
21:28
and defense of Nneka Gomakay, one of the greatest
21:30
leaders and a WNBA champion. Jewell
21:32
has already won WNBA championships. So
21:34
for that team, when you talk about a
21:36
super team, having that big three and then
21:38
building pieces around them, how
21:41
everybody else falls into place, that's a team that
21:43
I think could compete. The Aces
21:45
are light years ahead of
21:47
anybody. New York's trying to figure out how to
21:49
get up there and then there's a little bit of gap and
21:51
there's everyone else, in my opinion. Let's go back to
21:54
Kaitlyn Clark for a second. You said
21:56
she's defended really the best player in the
21:58
draft, but what obstacles will she face? transitioning
22:00
from being so dominant at the college level
22:02
to going to the WNBA. Physicality would be
22:04
the first thing. I was on Good Morning America just it
22:06
was yesterday morning and I was talking about Caitlin's going to
22:09
be going against grown women. Like women with
22:11
what I like to call mom strength.
22:13
Like mom strength just hits different. When
22:15
you've got kids and you've been through
22:17
giving birth, you just have a different level
22:19
of strength than anyone I could imagine.
22:21
And toughness. So going against grown women
22:23
and the physicality and the strength that she's
22:25
going to see, like I would imagine
22:27
her body is gonna feel a little
22:29
banged up. Like when we talked about, remember Victor Winman Yama
22:32
coming into the league. He had to get used
22:34
to the physicality that was brought in the
22:36
NBA and he talked about that. He's like
22:38
this, these guys are strong. Caitlin will experience
22:40
the same thing. Most rookies do experience that
22:42
when you go into the league. It's a
22:44
different level of strength, speed, quickness, decision-making and
22:46
then defense. Coming into the league,
22:48
other teams are going to test her ability to
22:50
defend one-on-one. I don't know what defensive schemes Indiana
22:53
is going to have but players are going to
22:55
challenge her. They're gonna try and attack her off
22:57
the balance. They're gonna try and put her on
22:59
her heels. So her ability to defend and then
23:01
handle physicality I think are gonna be the biggest
23:04
challenges. But when we figured it out, Caitlin
23:06
will figure it out. She'll start to mesh with her
23:08
team. Like whatever numbers Caitlin puts up in the beginning
23:10
of the season, I actually expect them to get better
23:12
as she figures out the league.
23:15
Andrea we've got about 30 seconds she's heading over
23:17
to get up. You'll see her there. Do we
23:19
think that the WNBA rules for entrance are appropriate
23:21
and fair? Because like for example, if Malaysia Folwylie
23:23
was a man on the men's game, she'd be
23:26
a top five pick in the draft. There's no
23:28
way she stays. She's awesome
23:30
by the way. But are the rules fair?
23:33
I do think they're fair because there are and I
23:35
don't know the exacts and I need to learn
23:37
these but there are things in place to protect
23:39
lottery picks on the NBA side. Like one, the
23:41
signing bonus that you get is ridiculous and
23:43
two, the way you have the G League, the
23:46
way you have somewhere to land softly if things
23:48
don't work out immediately, you don't have that in
23:50
the WNBA. So especially now with NIL in place
23:52
it gives players you can make money,
23:54
you have time to develop, you have time to get
23:56
ready and then go into the league And
23:59
have a little bit more success. Staying power. I just
24:01
worry about players going early, they don't have
24:03
any other education of and something goes wrong
24:05
and they don't have a soft place to
24:07
land. right? Now with the way the W set
24:09
up so I think we're we're in a good
24:11
place. Andrei Cardio fear on get up in the

ios los angeles dodgers show you
25:53
tommy was the biggest free agent
25:55
years into superstar has to do
25:57
very similar to the ecosystem contract
26:00
this winter. Former Angels signed a
26:02
10-year, $700 million deal
26:04
with the cross-town Dodgers for
26:07
the hopes of finally playing in the
26:09
Major League Baseball post-season. Otani made the
26:12
playoffs perennially in Nippon professional baseball and
26:14
won the Japan Series with the Nippon
26:16
Ham Fighters in 2016, but the post-season
26:18
has eluded him since coming to the
26:20
United States. Los Angeles' A.L. Club missed
26:23
the playoffs in each of Otani's six
26:25
seasons. With the Dodgers, Otani should finally
26:27
get a chance to prove he can
26:29
deliver when the Knights are the brightest. The
26:32
Dodgers have made 11 consecutive post-season appearances and
26:34
have won the National League West 10 times
26:36
during that span. Otani is coming off major
26:38
elbow surgery and is not expected to pitch
26:40
in 2024, but the $70 million per year
26:42
average could be worth it after he
26:48
led the league with 44 home runs last
26:50
season en route to his second
26:52
career most valuable player. Is
27:26
there any other example of that in any other sport
27:28
where you had two generational players, two
27:46
MVPs on the same team in their
27:48
prime? That
27:50
never went to the post-season. I understand
27:52
post-seasons are not created equally because
27:55
of the number of teams in the post-season,
27:57
but that's abnormally... You
28:00
know you Awful, right,
28:02
but you think about like Kobe with Dwight Howard
28:05
and Steve Nash and that crew Would
28:07
they all in their prime
28:09
at that point? Probably not Nash was passed
28:11
this prime. He had won the MVPs obviously
28:15
What Oh five and oh six or six and oh
28:17
seven with the with the Suns I don't know that
28:19
we have another example of that. I'm sitting
28:21
there thinking about it I can't come up
28:23
with one because the prime part is really
28:25
the like they both won MVPs with the
28:28
other one on the team Am I not
28:30
mistaken? Yeah, there was a stretch where they
28:32
accounted for four of the seven most recent
28:34
MVPs in the AL Like
28:37
think about that four to seven MVPs came
28:39
from one of those one of two of
28:41
those guys zero playoff appearance zero playoff Appearances
28:43
is bad. It's not great And the only
28:45
memorable big game moment we have with them
28:47
too on the same field was them against
28:49
each other in the world baseball classic wasn't
28:51
even a major league baseball. That's
28:53
mind but I'm looking here Oh Tani and 23 1 MVP
28:57
Otani and 21 1 MVP
28:59
trout in 19. So they
29:01
both won MVPs in
29:03
that range that they were together and
29:06
did absolutely That
29:08
is remarkable. Absolutely remarkable Anyway,
29:11
today is an important anniversary in
29:14
not just baseball, but in our
29:16
world It's the 77th anniversary of
29:18
Jackie Robinson entering the entering
29:20
major league baseball And for any parents out there
29:23
for any kids who want to say well I
29:25
don't want the athlete to be the role model
29:27
for the child. That's fine Let's
29:29
look at Jackie Robinson a little bit differently
29:31
Please because if you want a role model
29:33
if you want somebody who is going to
29:36
break down barriers and open up doors for
29:38
others And have that unbelievable ability that tragically
29:40
he had to have of taking all
29:42
of the horrific abuse from all of those
29:45
Disgusting people that were doing what they were
29:47
doing to Jackie Robinson. He took it. He
29:49
dealt with it He played through it and
29:52
he opened doors for countless other people if
29:54
you ever want someone to look up to
29:56
that is truly within the sports realm heroic
29:59
That man. His I really wish Major league
30:01
baseball they celebrated and they've retired forty two,
30:03
but I've set of for years. I don't
30:05
understand why they don't have the Dodgers at
30:07
the Mets every year on the state. Why?
30:10
The Dodgers playing in Los Angeles? That? I,
30:12
why don't we have the Dodgers in New
30:14
York Internationally series and we go all in.
30:17
Citi Field is basically built as a tribute
30:19
to Jackie Robinson. The Brooklyn Dodgers have no
30:21
real yeah. why don't we lean into that
30:23
every single year? I don't understand that. I
30:26
don't either, but I'm I'm glad I'm Usually
30:28
baseball does make it a celebration of all
30:30
the players. have the Forty Two pet owner
30:32
jersey Like I think it's important to make
30:34
this a big deal just because inclusivity in
30:36
a sport is really, really important. Been able
30:38
to have representation in the sports, and although
30:41
we do have a lot of persons of
30:43
color that are in Major league baseball, we
30:45
don't have a lot of American born players
30:47
that are black. Playing. A Major
30:49
League Baseball and so I think been
30:51
able to have that representation and been
30:53
able to you know, spotlight. The contribution
30:56
that Jackie Robinson made to the game
30:58
overall is important in terms of continuing
31:00
to grow the game In areas of
31:02
this country where young kids don't necessarily
31:04
see a viable path to playing in
31:06
that sport. so I'm excited that they
31:08
do make it a celebration and I'm
31:11
originally baseball does try to extend itself
31:13
in a weight onto deaths. I'm glad
31:15
to make it a celebration as well
31:17
and to kind of circle that's what
31:19
you said oven. I think it's so
31:21
important that every year we recognize this
31:23
and talk of I. It's for those
31:25
younger generations who might not have been
31:27
aware are Jackie Robinson's to keep his
31:29
legacy alive but also remind the boss
31:31
of what he and door and like
31:33
some of the things if you go
31:35
back and read about it wasn't were
31:37
absolutely horrific as I really think it's
31:39
important for younger generations to understand what
31:41
Jackie Robinson had to do and order
31:43
to open doors. For other people and the
31:45
relationship was Branch Rickey. I mean, I'm yeah I
31:48
don't want to just go base in the movie
31:50
forty Two, but it's well worth watching with the
31:52
late great shared with Bozeman as the star of
31:54
it, but the relationship with Branch Rickey was a
31:56
general manager running the team. Knowing. I
31:58
just want the best player on the field. And.
32:01
I want the best people that are the
32:03
best players on the field. I don't actually
32:05
care what they look like but the relationship
32:07
the two of them had it. understanding what
32:09
they were entering into was one in which
32:12
that I was amazed by and watch the
32:14
movie and reading everything about it. The two
32:16
of them together I mean checked but not
32:18
equate the two of them. I'm just saying
32:20
not a nor has to be open for
32:22
someone else to open a door and branch
32:24
Rickey who ran the Dodgers did that. were
32:26
many other baseball teams that times didn't write
32:29
and so it is always a day to
32:31
celebrate. Jackie Robinson. There's never a day
32:33
that we shouldn't celebrate that Jackie Robinson.
32:35
It's not only because he debuted seventy
32:37
seven years ago today. he could be
32:39
celebrated every day because when we look
32:41
across sports, we sat here talking about
32:43
the N B A today. Well.
32:46
Le. Bron James. Doesn't have
32:48
the life he has if not for Jackie Robinson.
32:51
right? Have you were talking about Jayson Tatum?
32:53
Jaylen Brown Number One see: Boston Celtics don't
32:55
have the life they have today, if not
32:57
for Jackie Robinson. As I
32:59
just think that the he is. So.
33:02
Right to celebrate at all times and it's
33:04
good bye Baseball. Retire in the number forty
33:06
two for good states is it? And into
33:08
they. Obviously there are celebrating with the number
33:10
Forty Two all over the baseball, but they're
33:12
just never time not to celebrate. Check your
33:15
arms and am I have no absolutely not.
33:17
As firstly would admit right like the context
33:19
of it all matters the institution that was
33:21
baseball. Bat. Fit him in
33:23
the mid forties. Would admit to
33:25
use that sport in in of
33:27
of are are just as close
33:29
to a meritocracy as you had
33:32
during a time to break down
33:34
your racism and prejudice in this
33:36
country was absolutely huge. So the
33:38
courage by Braves regular make that
33:40
decision, the courage by Jackie Robinson
33:42
to have the fortitude and also
33:44
the disciplinary so to up every
33:46
aspect of his life to be
33:48
somebody worthy of the opportunity rights
33:50
because in order for breath Ricky.
33:52
And Major League Baseball To extend themselves in
33:54
that way, you had to have somebody that
33:56
didn't have any question. Marks didn't have any
33:59
com as didn't. Many but I'm Jackie
34:01
Robinson was that in terms of what he
34:03
meant I mean he was a veteran. I
34:05
think it was a second lieutenant in the
34:07
military. This is a for sport athlete Edu
34:10
go in at U C L A was
34:12
a graduates like he had all of the
34:14
things that you would want a professional baseball
34:17
player, somebody that will represent your friends as
34:19
he had all of the things that you
34:21
would want. And. The fact that
34:23
he was black, Aids is a
34:25
knowing that opportunities for an extended to
34:27
men of color during that time for
34:29
him to lead his life and such
34:31
a way where it made it palatable
34:33
for Branch Rickey, a major league baseball
34:35
to given a chance. I thought that
34:37
was absolutely. Absolutely. Critical.
34:40
So. Credit to Jackie Robinson!
34:42
Have a special man in every
34:44
aspect of his life and was
34:46
of his. Instrumental in
34:48
changing how we looked at race in
34:51
this country. Process. I also think about
34:53
how difficult it was for a hand
34:55
to indoor the heat and all of
34:57
the external things that were going on
34:59
around tense and still be able to
35:01
have the career that he dead for.
35:04
So many people that would have been
35:06
so overwhelming. But for Jackie Robinson, ten
35:08
years in the league, rookie of the
35:10
Year in nineteen, Forty Sevens, Ndp six
35:12
all stars and a World Series champion.
35:15
That's just it tells you so much about
35:17
the mental fortitude at this man. Add on
35:20
everything that she had to endure and it
35:22
still did not impact him on the baseball
35:24
diamond. I just think that's really remarkable. He
35:26
had to be great. He. Was. He.
35:29
Could not punchbag physically. He didn't. and
35:31
he couldn't punchbag verbally. He didn't He
35:33
had the single most impossible job that
35:35
any athlete is ever had in the
35:37
history of sports and did it to
35:39
perfection. He. He he
35:42
couldn't be good. He had to be great.
35:44
And. He couldn't ever fight back when people
35:47
were saying disgusting things towards else because
35:49
the masses we're not in favor of
35:51
him being there. So. The
35:53
moment. Someone. Who says
35:55
a disgusting thing to him? See says
35:57
it back. it's not that the
35:59
ring random fan said it, it's that he said
36:01
it. The moment somebody physically threw something at him
36:04
or hit him and he did it back like
36:06
any person would do, it's not that they threw
36:08
something at him, it's that he hit back. He
36:11
had expectations and pressure on him that no
36:13
human in sports has ever had and
36:16
somehow he reached and surpassed every one of
36:18
them. We talk about LeBron all the time,
36:20
rightfully so, as reaching the expectations of the
36:22
chosen one in Sports Illustrated. Unbelievable
36:24
what LeBron James is able to do. But
36:27
then also add everything that Jackie Robinson was able to
36:29
do and had to deal with. He's one
36:31
of one and baseball does the right thing and
36:34
honoring him and all sports should honor him today.
36:36
77th anniversary, excuse me. The entire country should honor
36:38
him. Correct, it's not a sports thing. Correct. The
36:41
entire country should honor Jackie Robinson. Absolutely
36:43

37:09
The pressure to follow up hypnotic and cognac
37:12
weighing heavy on the team. Hypnotic
37:14
was in the cuff, flew and ready for the play.
37:17
And boom! And Yeo Tequila
37:19
came in with a smooth assist to
37:21
hypnotic's tropical fruit fish. Shake
37:24
it. Straight. Poured. It was
37:26
green and good! The playmaking flash shifted the tempo. Another
37:28
great cocktail from the hypnotic team. Every season is hypnotic and tequila season. Hypnotic
37:31
reminds you to think wisely, drink wisely. This is the unsportsmanlike podcast
37:33

37:43
dollar bill. I'm a public dollar bill. I'm a public dollar bill.
37:47
This is the unsportsmanlike podcast on ESPN
37:49
Radio. Alright, time to
37:52
win some money. Canty's best bet. I'm a
37:54
public dollar bill, y'all. I'm chasing that $10,000.
37:56
Of the night. Alright. we're
38:00
gonna go through Major League Baseball today and
38:03
tonight we got the matchup the Washington Nationals visiting
38:05
the Los Angeles Dodgers I mean the Nationals are
38:07
a slump buster if there ever was one so
38:10
I'm gonna go with the Dodgers on
38:12
the money line and then we're gonna take Tyler
38:14
Glass now under nine and a half total strikeouts
38:16
last time he was on the mile 14 total
38:18
strikeouts ain't gonna come nowhere close to what he
38:21
had the last time out so I'm gonna fade
38:23
him a little bit but the Dodgers still get
38:25
the dub so again Dodgers on the money line
38:27
Glass now under nine and a half strikeouts that
38:30
two-legged parlay pays out at plus
38:37
survived a terrible terrible moment in our
38:39
history the most unsportsmanlike moment of the
38:41
day that was terrible was not a
38:43
great look all right
38:46
most unsportsmanlike moments of the day things
38:48
that are wacky weird odd in
38:50
and around sports let's
38:52
start with the Rockets and Clippers game yesterday so the
38:55
Rockets won the game 116 105 spread was four and
38:57
a half I
39:00
believe per ESPN bet and
39:02
that's important because at the end of
39:04
the game Boban on the Houston
39:06
Rockets knew that there was a promotion that if
39:09
anyone on the visiting team missed two free throws
39:11
in a row the home team's
39:13
fans the Clippers would get
39:16
free chicken Boban missed
39:18
both free throws on purpose so
39:20
the fans would get free chicken
39:24
which is just an amazing move he's an
39:26
absolute hero a man of the people oh
39:28
no question about it that is awesome I
39:31
gotta ask is it point shaving oh
39:33
my gosh I mean you're
39:35
missing on purpose everyone knows you're missing on
39:37
purpose I I'm
39:42
just just saying you
39:46
could say that you weren't
39:48
trying to miss it on
39:50
purpose though you always want
39:52
to listen to the play by play with everyone throwing
39:54
up the chicken I
40:00
love it. All right, we're gonna listen to
40:02
the play-by-play of this of the the game
40:04
yesterday So you can hear what
40:06
the announcers had to say as Boban
40:09
missed free throws for chicken. I Think
40:15
maybe possibly do we not have it? Well
40:17
when Nuno gets in my ear and says
40:19
the play-by-play is great That's the yeah, that's
40:21
sweet that we were playing that should have
40:24
it. Oh Wow Oh
40:49
He put the one finger in the air to
40:51
like yep, I got you I
40:54
got like Kobe's wanted Michael like yeah,
40:56
I gotcha. I did it To
41:02
be happy about So
41:05
next one here, so, you know Nick Saban's
41:07
retired He's part of the ESPN family now
41:09
He's gonna be on game day and he
41:11
was at the Masters over the weekend and
41:13
was interviewed by Laura Rutledge on ESPN About
41:16
what Saban's been up to take
41:18
a listen It
41:20
has miss Terry wanted to kill you
41:22
yet You
41:24
know the day after I retired
41:26
I got the 12
41:28
commandments of retirement So
41:32
I've tried to live by them But
41:34
I found out that if I do my chores Then
41:38
I can go play golf So
41:40
I get up early and get my chores done and then it's
41:42
like how do I have a free pass to go do what?
41:44
I want to do. What is your
41:46
what are your chores? What
41:49
do you have to do? I make my bed. Okay.
41:51
Good. I take the garbage out I
41:54
have to wait for her to eat together And
41:57
I have to leave a little food just because that's polite
42:00
to tell people that you really thought it
42:02
was good. Which I grew up cleaning my
42:04
plate so that's not kosher anymore. Wait,
42:08
I'm confused about the last part. He leaves food?
42:11
That's the move? I don't even understand
42:13
what that means exactly. Yeah I don't know because
42:15
I'm with Nick Saban's original thought that I
42:17
thought cleaning your plate was a sign of
42:19
a nod of approval to the chef. Absolutely.
42:22
Yeah because if you leave food left over you're saying that
42:24
whoever made the food... It wasn't very good. Yeah. What
42:26
is she talking about? It's amazing though for those
42:28
who are watching on ESPNU he talks with his
42:31
hands as if he's breaking down the defense like
42:33
he would do at the press conferences. It's the
42:35
same thing with breaking down the chores. I love
42:37
the 12 commandments of retirement though. That is the
42:39
thing. Miss Terry had those ready to
42:41
go. The day after he retired she's like here's
42:43
the list. I'm laying down the law this
42:45
is what it is. Just so you know. Yes.
42:48
I think that Nick Saban's relationship with
42:50
his wife is so fascinating. I love
42:53
how much he loves her and what
42:55
a big part of his
42:57
legacy that she is and the way that
42:59
she runs things and he defers to her in
43:01
so many ways. I just think that's amazing.
43:03
Do you have assigned roles in your
43:06
house? Yes. You do? Because
43:08
ours are just like we kind of
43:10
understood what's understood doesn't have to be said. It's
43:12
kind of weird. We take gender roles to a
43:14
different level in my house. It's weird. My
43:17
wife will refuse to take out the trash.
43:20
Okay. She's not taking out the
43:22
trash. I have to make sure if I'm going out of
43:24
town I take out the trash before I leave and when
43:26
I come it's piled up it's for me to take out
43:28
of the house. She does not touch the trash. Conversely
43:31
I don't touch anything in
43:33
the kitchen. So if there are
43:35
dishes in the sink that's not me. If
43:38
there's the stove that's not me. That's all
43:40
her. That is her realm. So it's really
43:42
interesting how we fell into that during the
43:44
pandemic and we just kept that going. But
43:47
it's weird. She won't take out the trash. I won't
43:49
do the dishes. You got to find what
43:51
works for you. You got to find what works for you. Now
43:53
I love now this is a chore that I love. I
43:55
love doing a laundry. You
43:58
do? I love doing a laundry. Fold
44:00
into I love it like it is like it is
44:02
my one of my favorite things to do when I'm
44:04
at home I love
44:06
doing a laundry. I love it. I've
44:09
got fabric softeners. I've got the pie
44:12
You are I do it
44:14
all like I love doing like I don't
44:16
know why I don't know why and how
44:18
I fell into this But I love doing
44:20
a laundry like I'm just like babe. You
44:22
got any larger view. Yeah a laundry for me Like I'm
44:24
getting excited like you know when you get the doggy treats
44:27
for the dogs Like that's how I am with laundry like
44:29
getting laundry for me to do I can't wait to do
44:31
laundry That is one of my favorite things
44:33
to do wow All
44:36
right, I got another one for you guys holding. Do you have
44:39
a chore you enjoy doing I'm I love
44:41
Organizing reorganizing cleaning out like I will pick
44:43
yesterday. I cleaned out the entire closet in
44:45
my bedroom I was like all right I'm
44:47
gonna do this today while I was watching
44:49
the NBA I will reorganize everything in the
44:51
kitchen if there's ever dishes in the sink
44:53
I'll put them in the dirty and then
44:55
the dishwasher I hate the only
44:57
thing I hate is taking the dishes out of the
44:59
dishwasher for some reason I don't like putting the dishes
45:01
away. I'm cool putting them in I don't know why
45:03
I don't like I'm taking them I'm not in love
45:06
with folding, but I'll clean it all times. I have
45:08
no problem cleaning at all and reorganizing I'm I think
45:10
I'm pretty good like that all right. You got to
45:12
watch this though, and we got to describe the audience
45:15
So the Hornets have a guy in their team named poku
45:17
he used to be on the Thunder well He
45:20
did something yesterday He
45:23
in bounded the ball to the ref. He
45:25
thought the ref was on his team He
45:29
did not realize the ref was the ref
45:33
In the Hornets win against the Cavs Legit
45:37
in bounded the ball to the ref which
45:39
bounced off of the ref out of bounds
45:43
He ain't gonna be on a team next year. I
45:45
can promise you that Yeah, go
45:47
be on a team. I mean mind-boggling.
45:49
Oh, all right last one here Charlotte
