Speaker 3 (00:42):
All right, all right, all right, all right, welcome back
into hour two. This is up on game and this

Told you I'll check me out on on the X

Speaker 2 (00:58):
On the X as well. You know, you know how
we do it.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
I said, you guys, shoot me some some topic opinions.
I'll read them out to you. Steve Hanzer I think
is his name twelve and under flag Junior. This is
from earlier conversation y'all about flag football. Are you a
proponent of flag replacing tackle? How you feel about letting
your kids play tackle? And Steve had this to say,
(01:23):
twelve and under flag junior high and up tackle. It's
pretty simple what he had to say. Jerry Swink He said,
both are awesome sports. I'd say flag is more skill based,
whereas tackle appeals more toward the primal instinct of conflict.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Jerry Clark, tackle.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
Would be fine as long as the venue has up
to date modern protective equipment. I believe both have great
skill development and potential. One of my alumni and letterman
Brotherren from Penn State chimed in Maurice Humphrey senior. He said,
heck no, I'd wait till he's around twelve or thirteen.
(02:10):
I played one year at eight nine, then didn't play
again until I was twelve. I feel kids under twelve
should only work on drilling footwork and proper form to
tackle without pads. Every parent's different, but playing in high
school and then at Penn State, knowing what I know
and how my body responds, now I forty two, I'd
(02:34):
say wait.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
As long as you can for tackle football.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Appreciate all of the comments, Appreciate everybody chiming in, Appreciate
everybody listening.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
TJ and Plex are off there.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
They're in Vegas with their kids watching basketball be played.
I was rioting solo a hour one. Hope you enjoyed it.
Now it's hour two and you know what happens when
you hear this.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Now it's time to check in cuffs the legend from
some dude show podcast on up on Game Presents, Cuffs
is giving you a spicy takes on what's going.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
Down to pick the heat like Lebron and.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Now here's cuffs the legend.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
It's gold time legend.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
All right. The voice you hear after you hear that
is none other than how you doing, sir.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
LeVar?
Speaker 6 (03:30):
Hey, I'm listening in on the show man. It's a
very good topic. You haven't about the tackle football and
flag football. Man should sit for like a lot of kids,
A lot of kids are playing football at the early
age and I don't think their bodies have developed yet
when they seven, eight nine years old. So I cand
I agree that should wait a little bit until you
(03:50):
get a little older to play, because you know, it's
it's a lot of injuries, a lot of CTE going on.
But it's a good conversation, man. But my phone has
been going, are you know in the summer league?
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Free agency. Right now in the.
Speaker 6 (04:03):
NBA, let's talk about we got the forty one year
old man. Lebron James is still dominating, you know, the
headlines and the media cycle right now.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
The algorithm is going crazy.
Speaker 6 (04:16):
People have been asking me, People have been asking me
from all directions, what is Broun doing?
Speaker 4 (04:21):
What is Lebron doing?
Speaker 6 (04:22):
Man?
Speaker 4 (04:22):
And to be.
Speaker 6 (04:23):
Honest with you, I'm kind of torn as a fan
of Lebron. I'm kind of torn on his destination right
now that he's choosing. Because I actually spoke to my
guy last week. You know, he messaged me directly and
asked my two cent about his next move man. And
I've I've been torn back and forth the last couple
of days on the teams that he told me directly,
(04:43):
like his four teams fourteen race. But I think it's
kind of narrowed down to like three teams now, so
I'm ready to talk about it.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Cous After an opinion out during the week, and I
was told that it's the worst take I've ever had
in my entire career as media, and I'm just curious
as to what your take to my thought was. I
basically said, there are maybe three teams that if Lebron
(05:12):
James went to the team, what actually it would yield
him a championship. There's no other teams that he should
want to go to, because you just it's a crap
shoot in terms of if you think they're going to
have a real, real.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Chance to win it.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
I mean, you can look at it and say, yeah,
it looks like it. But I don't attribute, and I
could be wrong. I could be a horrible person for
saying this. I do not attribute Lebron James as being
the missing piece at this point. I think he will
go somewhere and be a tremendous part and a leader
(05:48):
on court general. But I do not say, Okay, we're
one piece away and at this point it's Lebron. Now
that's the first part of it. You might already think
I'm crazy. Here's the second part.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Ahead.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Okay, okay, good, good, because I want you to debt.
My next take was two of those teams that I'm
thinking about, I mean, because Philly is one of them,
but I just don't know if Philly is Philly's just
going to be Philly. They ain't won a championships in forever.
But you look at San Antonio, you look at Okac.
Those are young teams. They have great players, and they
(06:23):
have so many great players that it runs into their
their bench. Now, maybe san Antonio wasn't as deep as
they could have been, or didn't use their guys. Maybe
okayc wasn't in the act. Though I felt like they
were pretty deep, but maybe they weren't as deep as
they could have been, or with the trust and the playoffs.
But you're talking about a super long season. A whole
(06:45):
lot of things are going to take place. Is it
crazy to think that if Lebron went to a San
Antonio or Okac, that being the six man off the
bench would be advantageous to not only the team but
to Lebron James and the duration of that season.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Call me crazy, gut.
Speaker 6 (07:05):
Well, there's no way in the blue hell that Lebron
James is coming off the bench as a six man
right now. You know, there's no way that's going to happen.
But if you go back and watch the NBA Finals,
if you plug in Lebron James at the small four
position for the Spurs, you know they had Julian Champagnee,
(07:25):
they had Devin Vitsell, they had those guys.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
But if you would have plugged him in at that
four or the three spot as a starter.
Speaker 6 (07:32):
Would have beat Yeah, as a starter, they would have
beat the New York Knicks because the Spurs lost that
series because of their immaturity in those clut situations, those
those tight moments. They lost the series in those moments,
and Mitt Johnson played a huge role in while they
lost two. I mean he was He caught a lot
of backlash for not calling tom outs, not making adjustments.
(07:54):
But Lebron James, even at forty one years old, is
still one of the best leaders in Floyd general.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
And he's still in my opinion and a lot of.
Speaker 6 (08:02):
Other basketball fans and media people's opinion, he's still a
top ten, top fifteen player in the playoffs. Like who
would you rather want in the playoffs?
Speaker 4 (08:11):
Who would you trust more?
Speaker 6 (08:13):
But as far as OKC, I could never see him
going there. They're already super stacked. The only reason they
lost against the Spurs was because aj Mitchell and Jayalen
Wims were injured.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
I feel like, but if I'm looking at the Sixers,
the two.
Speaker 6 (08:27):
Teams I have right now for Lebron is my personal
favorite is the Philadelphia seventy Sixers, and that's in due
part to ty Reech Maxie. Tyreech Maxie is who I
consider a top two or three guard in the Eastern Conference.
I mean, we've seen him. He's super, super aggressive. Officially
(08:48):
he's been an All Star now he is really the
catalyst to the Sixers team has the same representation he's
been clutched sports. Him and Lebron have trained together the
last couple offseasons, so they built a hes rapport. And
you got to look at the Jalen Brown. The addition
of Jalen Brown changed everything. And I've talked directly with Lebron,
(09:08):
like I know, people look at the comments that Jalen
Brown made about Brownie a couple of years ago at
Summer League that went viral. Lebron doesn't care about any
of that stuff, man, He don't care about the little
petty stuff. He wants to win and if he has
a chance to team up with Tyree's Maxi and vj Edgcomb.
By the way, who with a top three rookie last year,
(09:31):
a two way player for the Philadelphia seventy six er
super Athletic. You have the best young backcourt in the
Eastern Conference. Jalen Brown. But the real question mark as
far as the Philadelphia seventy six er situations, in my opinion,
is Joel Embiid. Joel Embiid when healthy, we all know
he's arguably top two or the best big man in
(09:54):
the league. He's right there with the Kolya Jokic as
far as her skill pure talent.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
He's won a MVP. He's a walking bucket.
Speaker 6 (10:03):
But Joe omb has never been healthy. I say the
last what four to five years, right, he hasn't been
healthy for a regular season. He wasn't healthy in the
playoffs this year. That's why Philly flamed out. I'm looking
at the sixerth as one of the top three options
for Lebron. But the teams that I feel like it
just feels right, It just feels right to me as
(10:25):
a fan, like it feels right. Is the Miami Heat.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
It just I just feel like.
Speaker 6 (10:32):
It's so much unfinished business there, and people been asking me, like,
what do you mean by unfinished business? You know, he
went to the finals four straight years, they went back
to back in two of those years. But the way
it ended in Miami, you know, it ended on a
sour note. You know, him and pat Riley had a
little beef here and there. We heard the stories about
(10:52):
the chocolate chip cookies.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
On the airplane and a little petty. You know, a
lot of petties does happen, right, So it's just unfinished business.
Where Dwayne Wade. You know, d Wade was kind of
like on his last leg as far as he was
real he was.
Speaker 6 (11:07):
He was riddled with injuries that last year when they
played the Spurs in twenty fourteen. You know, Chris Bosh
was injured that season. Lebron had to.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
Carry a lot of the load. Right now, if you put.
Speaker 6 (11:20):
Lebron James on the Miami Heat with Jannas and Bam
out of Bayo, who, by the way, I don't know
if y'all saw the story, but he got into an
alstercation last night at Summer League with Tyler Hero.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
We can get into that leg.
Speaker 6 (11:35):
But if you look at the Miami Heat, man their
roster there starting to fill that roster out.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
They win got some.
Speaker 6 (11:40):
Shooters, Tim Hardaway Junior, they got Daveyon Mitchell who's a
good defender at the point guard position, and they're going
to fill out their.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
Roster even more.
Speaker 6 (11:48):
They got Andrew Wiggins, who was one of the best
three in these two way wings in the league.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
And you have Eric.
Speaker 6 (11:54):
Spost right, that's the familiarity that Lebron has. He's comfortable,
he knows.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
The city of Miami, and I feel like Miami.
Speaker 6 (12:01):
Will show him love, like they will show him love
if he comes back there. And a lot of people
are putting Cleveland into their equation. In Cleveland, the Cavs
do have a chance to know, to get Lebron. They're
definitely into running from what I know.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
But I've seen that.
Speaker 6 (12:16):
Movie already, Like we've seen that movie already, right, he
went back to Cleveland, he delivered a championship in twenty sixteen,
and it would be a great sentimental heartstring story, you know,
bring your son Brownie back with you and ride off
of to the sunset. But I think from a pure
basketball fit, LeVar the Miami heat Man. I got my
Miami heat gear right now. I got my heat gear
(12:38):
right now in the vault. I'm ready to pull it out, man,
because I don't know.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
Something's telling me in my gut it might really be
the Miami heat Man. From what I'm hearing, I.
Speaker 6 (12:47):
Think that's the best fit because, like I said, Jannis
and Lebron and Bam, that's a.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Big man, a scoring power forward and another scoring power forward.
Speaker 6 (13:03):
That's what you're saying, because, yeah, because Lebron can the
difference with the fit with Miami and the Sixers fit.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
You do have a lot of.
Speaker 6 (13:12):
Guys on the Sixers where Tyre's Maxie is very ball
dominant point guard. He has the balls in it. He
has the ball in his hands a lot. Vj Edgecombe,
young player, rookie, He's energetic, he can get you fifteen
a game. Jalen Brown, we know Jaylen Brown is he's
been a star with the Celtics all these years. He's
used to dominate in the basketball. That's part of the
(13:32):
reason why, to be honest, the Celtics traded him because Jason,
him and Jason Tatum were kind of always fighting for
that that that top spot, you know, that that alpha
spot on the Celtics.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
So now you've been Georgia and you have yeah, Pippin
and Georgie. I gotta said, so now, I mean.
Speaker 6 (13:49):
They broke they broke up, They broke him up.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
They broke him up. Man, I hated to see it.
But then you got Joe O mb who he he
wants touches. Jojo is always going to want touches.
Speaker 6 (14:00):
Right to catch the Cavn Roon crow Baby, He's going
to cry he don't get touches. So that's the only
dynamic in the sister situation that I feel like Lebron
is looking at like it's only one basketball, right. But
if you go to Miami, they don't really have a
true point guard. Dave Yon Mitchell is more of a defender.
He plays the point, but he's a defender. Lebron can
(14:21):
beat that Magic Johnson point guard point forward, and he
can set the table for Jannis and Bam and still
get his twenty two, you know, six to seven rebounds.
But he can go back to being Lebron where he
led the league and assists just three or four years ago,
where he averaged ten assists. I think his assist totals
to go up if he goes to Miami and he
can just be an overall Floyd general and he doesn't
(14:43):
have to put so much wear and tear on his
body at forty one forty two going in the next season,
and he can just really let Jannis be that of Fudd,
because you know, Jannis is still people are sleeping on
Yannis in this whole situation, Like I don't know what
happened where people just woke up and forgot that yan
As is a two times yeah, Like this is Jannis
(15:04):
we're talking about.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
That's still young.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (15:07):
So to keep it real with y'all, I've been on
my phone NonStop, you know, always use the hashtag tail
braun like I've been tampering like crazy.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
Like, man, I'm telling you, I.
Speaker 6 (15:17):
Just feel like this is your last opportunity, Like this
is your last free agency, you know, and it's like,
look at the pieces Yannis makes more.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
Sense playing with him and Bam.
Speaker 6 (15:29):
We saw Bam D eighty three last year. You know,
he's totally transitioning into more than just a defensive player.
Why would you go back to Cleveland and play with
a washed James Harden and a ball dominant Donovan.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
No, they didn't gave.
Speaker 6 (15:50):
They gave Donovan Mitchell the super Max, but they're not
gonna trade. They're not gonna trade James Harden because who
who would take James Harden's contract at this.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Point, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
I don't think anyone would let me give you this
Before we go to the break. What about Minnesota where
you have an interchangeable situation between him and LaMelo, And
then you got Anthony Atwards as as a score, and
you got Rudy Gobert that's that's going to be down there,
and then you got de Vincenzo as as a positive contributor.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
What about Minnesota.
Speaker 6 (16:23):
So the message that I received from Braun was a list,
like I said, and Minnesota was on that list.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
On they were very they were very.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
High on that list. Act they were, they were first
on the list. In the message. Okay, the way I
broke it down to him was LaMelo Ball is going
to run the show and set the table every night.
Speaker 6 (16:46):
The reason why Minnesota is intriguing is because of what
you said. Anthony Edwards, I feel like is ready to
take that that two thousand y'all remember two thousand and
six when d Wade just went on that magical run
where he had Shock as he's running mate, and all
he needed was Shaq and some veteran role players around him,
and d Wade just carried.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
The heat to the championship. I feel like Anthony Edwards.
Speaker 6 (17:07):
Is on that trajectory where he just needs one more
veteran superstar that can show him the way, just like
Lebron and d Wade, where d Wade show Lebron how
to win when he went to Miami. But I would
say the only negative drawback and we laughed about this
via Texas.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
Who wants to live in Minnesota?
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Man?
Speaker 4 (17:28):
Where you got where you.
Speaker 6 (17:29):
Got twenty inches of snow on your front step every
morning in the winter time. You know, like, that's the
only drawback I would say from just like a quality
a life standpoint. But you got Rudy Gobert, a defensive anchor.
You got Jaden, You got Jaden mcdaiels, who's turned into
arguably one of the best three and D players in
the league. You know, you see him emerging the playoffs.
(17:50):
You got Ao de Monsau came over from the Bulls.
He had a career high in the playoffs. The timber
Wolves look great on paper, and I feel like, I mean,
would it be to see Lebron go to Minnesota and
deliver a championship to a franchise that everybody just views
as like just they never got over the hump. You know,
they had a couple good years with Kevin Garnett. They
(18:12):
had a couple of good years with Adman, But like,
wouldn't that cement your goat status if you win a
chip with a Timberwolves.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
I don't know that it cements you as a goat,
but it definitely would be very, very entertaining to see
it happen, to see it take place. It's going to
be interesting, well, all right, because we got to get
to the break. But what's the time frame? Like, give
me a quick, quick, one two answer. What's the timeframe
on on a decision you think?
Speaker 6 (18:38):
I don't think we're gonna see a decision anytime soon
because he just flat out taking his time with this
because it's such a monumental choice for him as his
last time doing this. So I don't think he's in
any rush. And it's still free agency, by the way,
so you still got little pieces being filled with certain
rosters that.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
He that he's looking at. So it's not gonna be
anytime soon. I think he just he's taking his time
for sure.

Speaker 6 (21:05):
Huh.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
We got the rookies. They're all in Vegas for the
Summer League. It runs through July nineteenth, and I'm telling
you this twenty twenty sixth class might be one of
the best we've seen Cuffs in a really, really long time.
You got the main event with the Bonsa and Peterson.
That's a that's a day winner right there. Everybody circled it.
(21:26):
How how are you looking at the summer league? What's
what's your information?
Speaker 2 (21:31):
What do you get? Do we have cuffs? Did we
lose cuffs? Is cuffs there?
Speaker 4 (21:39):
Do we have them?
Speaker 2 (21:40):
I'll tell you what I think about it.
Speaker 4 (21:43):
I'm here, here, I'm here.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Okay, there he is, there is Okay, what you get?
What you got for us? Man?
Speaker 6 (21:48):
This is I haven't been this excited about a summer
league probably shoot in a long time.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Man.
Speaker 6 (21:55):
Just just looking at the top four guys, like the
top four guys that matchups before we get into like
the breakdowns of the players and the matchups we've seen
the last two nights.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
Okay, Like I think I think all four of these
guys from top to bottom, like DAVONSA.
Speaker 6 (22:10):
Peterson, Bozer, and Kayleb Wilson if you watch, if you
watched them in their summer league performances, I think all
four of these top draft picks have landed in the
perfect situation for them to grow and develop. And you
don't hardly usually see that often with drafts, Like some
guys fall to the wrong team, sometimes you know they
fall to the wrong situation.
Speaker 4 (22:31):
All of these guys.
Speaker 6 (22:32):
Are in perfect situation for them to really to grow
like the bossor you saw him. He had twenty seven
the first night, Darren Peterson had twenty four. Then last
night I stayed up watching that with Caleb Wilson.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
And Cameron Boozer went at it.
Speaker 6 (22:48):
And you know last year at US he and Duke,
you know, the second time they played each other. I
was at the Duke in Carolina game in Cameron and
you know Caleb Wilson, he had the injury, he didn't
get to play, and he was on the bitch that night,
and you would he was so engaged, he was so
eager to get out there because he is a competitor.
And last night you saw him. He broke the Summer
(23:09):
League record for rookie debut with thirty five. He hit
seven threes last night. That's more threes than he hit
the entire year at UNC last year.
Speaker 4 (23:18):
So a lot of people were.
Speaker 6 (23:19):
Questioning whether or not, you know, Cayleb Wilson's jump shot,
his mechanics were good enough, or was he a good
enough shooter. I think he answered a lot of those
questions last night. And just watching Kayleb Wilson, I see
I just see some Kevin Garnett, That's what I call him.
I'll see like I see some of Zembas with Kevin Garnett.
I see some Kawhi Leonard tenacity on defense. I mean
(23:43):
he's blocking shots, he started to chase down block he
got last night and transition. Like all of these guys,
I feel like all for of these guys could have
been the number one pick, Like Cameron Boozer last night,
he played well, He had twenty three and six, did.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
A lot atension. Boozer didn't get a lot of attention
coming out of the draft. Why do you think that is?
Speaker 3 (24:05):
I would have thought that the noise of the sound
on him would have been a little bit higher the pitch,
the focus might have been a little bit higher on him.
But it hasn't been. Like, it hasn't been crazy. He's
been focused in on other prospects.
Speaker 6 (24:18):
Like I'm glad you said that because, like I think,
going into the into the draft, like people were questioning
his athleticism. You know, they were saying he wasn't athletic enough.
You know, he wasn't explosive enough. He doesn't play above
the realm like cayleb Wilson or devonsta Right, and I
think a lot of people are gonna look back in
ten to twelve years. It's gonna be a lot of
(24:40):
people eating warm humble pie. It's gonna be a lot
of humble pie being served. Because that kid man you
saw him last night, even in the first game he played,
he's shooting.
Speaker 4 (24:51):
He's shooting the dirt. Newinsky's fate, the bump fate off
of one leg. He got all them he got.
Speaker 6 (24:57):
He's only eighteen years though. Oh by the way, for
a lot of people are.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
Not to understanding. He is eighteen years old.
Speaker 6 (25:05):
And if you just look at his fundamentals, he's so
fundamentally sound. His offensive toolboxes is so polished for an
eighteen eighteen year old kid. And you gotta tip your
hat to his pops, Carlos Boozer, because you could tell
he had those boys in the lab at a very
young age, just working on the core fundamentals.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
So I'm telling.
Speaker 6 (25:24):
People now, I stopped early in Cameron Boozer in Memphis.
He's down there with Zach Edie. They just got Isaiah
Stewart from the Pistons.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
They got a nice young nucleus.
Speaker 6 (25:35):
They got Cedric Coward on the team, a nice wing.
They got a nice little team they're building in Memphis.
But he's gonna get a chance to make those mistakes
learn on the fly. He's not pressure to be like,
you know, like a superstar. He got some good veterans
around him. I think cam Booz is gonna be an
all star man. A lot of people gonna eat their
words when it comes down, because a lot of people
(25:56):
were saying he's gonna be a bus you know. Like
I said, he can't play above the ram. I think
all that stuff is overrated in over values. If you can,
just if you can put the ball in the basket,
and you're that fundamentally sound and skilled, you're gonna find
your way.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
He has the pedigree to do it.
Speaker 6 (26:14):
But the guy that really impresses me out of all
those four and looking at it, I think Darren Peterson.
I haven't haven't seen a shooting guard coming to the
league offensively polished, where if you just look at him,
I see Kobe.
Speaker 4 (26:31):
I know it sounds like a lot of.
Speaker 6 (26:34):
Other people are seeing the same seeing the same thing
with him, but I'm seeing Kobe and Ray Allen. I'm
seeing like the younger version of Ray Allen, but with
better handles like he can really handle the ball, the
balls on a string, Like, I haven't seen a guy
coming to the NBA that can.
Speaker 4 (26:51):
Score this effortlessly since Kevin Durant.
Speaker 6 (26:53):
Like if you just look at Peterson, if you look
at Peterson in the Summer League, it looks like he's
playing like he's a varsity player playing against like the
JV practicequad or whatever. Out They're like, those guys look
like jav players compared to him. So I just want
to all haven been as excited about the Utah Jazz
ever in my life, Like who who's ever been a
(27:14):
Utah Jazz fan?
Speaker 4 (27:15):
To keep it real, like outside of people from Salt Lake.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
Right.
Speaker 6 (27:20):
This year, I'm genuinely excited to watch the Jazz games
because of that core they have out there, Like they
got Keyonte George, you know, you know, they got Laurie
Market and they traded Walker Kessler to the Lakers. They
got Jared Jackson. Don't sleep on the Utah Jazz. I
know I said it are on the previous show, But
the Utah Jazz they looking like they might be better
than the Lakers this year.
Speaker 4 (27:41):
If you look at the roster on paper, like.
Speaker 6 (27:44):
The snow the snow time Lakers. That's not the same
theme that was out there last year. So I'm gonna
looking at that. And also, man, I mean can't we
can't gloss over the number one pick AJ Deboston.
Speaker 4 (27:56):
Man, he is a ship nine. I see them trades
h McGrady. I know that's a lofty comparison, but.
Speaker 6 (28:07):
If you just look at if you just look at
how aggressive he plays, that's what stands out the most
of me. It pops out on the screen, like his
tenacity on the court. He's real tenacious. He's a fiery competitor.
And I've spoken to Anthony Davis recently about AJ. He
was like, cuz, break down his game for me, like
I watched because Anthony Davis was kind of on the
fence for a while whether he wasn't really sure if
(28:28):
he wanted to stay in Washington or possibly you know,
get traded to a moral championship ready team.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
But Man has the better sea of Tom.
Speaker 4 (28:36):
Yeah. Yeah, if you look at Man, look, man, they
got better.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
They got better cushions on their seats and Washington, come on, man,
come on, let's not do that.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Who got the better bench seats?
Speaker 5 (28:50):
Man?
Speaker 2 (28:51):
We got a little bit of lag room on this
this bench.
Speaker 4 (28:55):
But no jokes aside. Man, if you look at the
Washington Wizards, I've said this, I'm on record.
Speaker 6 (29:00):
If you look at the Wizards, man, they are low
key loaded to make a real playoff push.
Speaker 4 (29:06):
Anthony Davis will be healthy this year and available.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
Young okay will.
Speaker 4 (29:12):
Be healthy and available.
Speaker 6 (29:14):
So just that kick and roll duo of Trey Young
and Anthony Davis that push you ahead of a lot
of these.
Speaker 4 (29:20):
Pretenders in the East. Right, you know you got you
got parts in the East.
Speaker 6 (29:26):
But I think the Wizards got a chance to really
be special when you put this aj DEBOXA kid in
that mix with those veterans like buying I'm buying stock
with the Washington Withers. Man.
Speaker 4 (29:36):
But I would say the last thing about the Summer
League that I've.
Speaker 6 (29:39):
Noticed, Like we named the top four guys, yep, But man,
I think the La Clippers, man, the lax Slippers had
that fifth pick.
Speaker 4 (29:47):
You know, they traded that they got that pick from
the Pacers.
Speaker 6 (29:49):
It was a controversial trade and everybody in Clipper Nation
was thinking, like.
Speaker 4 (29:54):
You know, who are we going to get with this
fifth pick.
Speaker 6 (29:57):
I think the Clippers gonna look back and have a
lot of regrets on passing up on Darius A. Cuff
and Michal Brown Junior and Kingston Flemings. Those three guards
were sitting there and they drafted Keaton Woggler out of Illinois.
Speaker 4 (30:12):
And I know it's early. I know it's just summer League.
Speaker 6 (30:15):
I know it's real early in the developmental process with
these guys. But Keaton Woggler is looking like he might
not be the guy man, and I think the Clippers
might regret that pick because Darius Acuff, Like I said,
I don't know if y'all watch tape of Michal Brown
in this summer League, but Michael Brown is looking like
a box off of attraction for the Brooklyn Brooklyn Nets.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
All right, well, y'all don't heard about the summer League.
And that's from the man himself. That's from Cuffs. That's
as in depth and as dope as it gets when
you're talking about the analysis of it all. Let's get
the dopest and the most talented uh trending news topics guy.
Speaker 4 (30:53):
The guy.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
His name is Isaac Lohinkron. And here we go go. Ahead, y'all,
have y'all home, God, here.
Speaker 4 (30:58):
We go, Cuffs, Oh gosh, I love for real.
Speaker 6 (31:04):
Look, you know, I told y'all if Lebron is gone
from the Lakers, I'm donating all my Lakers gear to
the Good Wheel. Man.
Speaker 4 (31:12):
I'm just checking with you.
Speaker 6 (31:13):
To see if you want see if you want any
of my old Lakers gear before I donate it to
the Good Wheel.
Speaker 4 (31:18):
But what side you wear?
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Man?
Speaker 6 (31:19):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (31:20):
You know what size I wear? Oh?
Speaker 6 (31:21):
Whoa?
Speaker 2 (31:23):
You know, Cuffs is losing all that weight, you know
what I mean? So he get rid of all of
them old clothes.
Speaker 8 (31:27):
He goats along those lines. It's perfectly time that you
would mention that because Cuffs. Can you fill in LeVar
about how you roasted at Dev's the tics on social
media about the Friday night gym discussion?
Speaker 4 (31:45):
Oh no, oh yeah, yeah, he said, what do you
say that.
Speaker 8 (31:50):
Something about He said, quote the gym on a Friday
night tells you who actually wants it?
Speaker 1 (31:58):
And your response was, well, well, if.
Speaker 6 (32:02):
You're in a gym on a Friday night, my brother
in that's telling me that you don't really have a
lovely woman at the house, man, because who wants.
Speaker 4 (32:10):
To be at the gym at nine thirty on a Friday?
Speaker 6 (32:13):
Man?
Speaker 8 (32:13):
Come on, man, Oh, you use slightly different terminology if
I'm not mistaken, but your time's well taken. Here here's
my response to that. I totally get what you're saying,
but i'm you know, it's all in stages. So if
one is at the gym on a Friday night doing
the work that would build towards the meeting one day,
(32:38):
as you called it. A oh, so you put in
the work at the gym on Friday night for a while,
and after a while you you won't need to be
at the gym anymore on a Friday night.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Leave it up to illoll.
Speaker 8 (32:52):
It's all the circle of life, you know.
Speaker 6 (32:54):
What I mean? Guys.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
Indeed, indeed what you.
Speaker 8 (32:56):
Got I got a dramatic Ladies singles final that just
concluded at Wimbledon, So your timing is perfect. Twenty one
year old Lyndon Noskova taking on Carolina Mukova, both from Chechia.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
Now.
Speaker 8 (33:09):
Noskova easily won the first set six to two. She
took a five to two lead in the second set,
but then was unable to close five championship points, including
double faulting a serve. Mukova won five straight games to
win the second set seven to five. And just moments
ago in the third indeciding set, the twenty one year
(33:30):
old Noskova, up five games to three, had championship point
on Radio Wimbledon.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
Can she see it?
Speaker 5 (33:37):
At the sixth time of asking, she serves down the middle.
She does. Lynda Noskuva falls to the ground, her hands
over her eyes. She has looked disaster in the eye
on center court and now she's triumphant.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
At the age of twenty one.
Speaker 5 (34:01):
How did she hold herself together? A staggering triumph for
Linda and Noscua? Who is the Wimbledon champion?
Speaker 8 (34:12):
Some British guy with a call on Radio Wimbledon. As again,
the twenty one year old Noscovo wins it two sets
to one. One major League baseball game going on right now,
the Milwaukee Brewers are five three lit of Pittsburgh going
to the bottom of the fifth inning thanks to a
two run home run by the Brewers South Freelick to
give them the lead.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
Cuffs back up, LeVar, LaVar, back to you, Hey, thanks.
Speaker 3 (34:35):
Ilo, No worries, man, I know you and Cuffs are
really really close, really really great, great great brothers in
Christ and I'm proud of y'all. I'm proud of the relationship,
y'all Field And speaking of that, if you've missed any
of their interactions, don't worry about it.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
You can always catch it on the podcast.
Speaker 3 (34:51):
Miss any other show, search Fox Sports Radio wherever it
did you get your podcast? Follow the feed rated fast
Stars if you would. Today's four show will be posted
right after we get off the air. On the other
side of the break, Cuffs teased you, we're gonna pay
it off Bam out value out of Bayo. Yeah that's
his name, Tyler Hero, A little bit of beef, a
(35:14):
little bit of drama. Summer League. You know, they were
teammates and now they're not. We're gonna hear from Cuffs
as to what happened to wrap the show.
Speaker 2 (35:22):
This is up on Game.
Speaker 3 (35:23):
That's Cuffs the legend. I'm LeVar Arrington, TJ and Plex
are out today. We're gonna wrap it up on the
other side of his break up on Game Fox Sports Radio.
All right, all right, welcome back into the show. We
are well hitting towards the finish line.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
No worries.
Speaker 3 (35:42):
What a great song because one of the up top
boys is gonna follow me after this show concludes. One
mister Drack himself. Jonas Knox will be jumping on to
crack the microphone and a matter of eleven minutes or so.
But before we get up out of here, you heard
(36:02):
my man cuffs the legend. Oh by the way, this
Fox Sports Radio and this is up on game their
station identification and show identity as well, just to do
a little bit of radio formatics there. But cuffs, you
said that bam a value. Bama Bayo told hero he
was trading in a hero for uh uh untokumpo, a
(36:28):
Yannis onto compo, and Tyler Herro couldn't handle it and
it caused drama. And that happened at nine o'clock. Okay,
go go ahead. You know you're messed up, right, you
know you're messed up. So you said that it was
a hero for a Yannis at ten o'clock, right, let's
(36:49):
give him some cats might have not have caught the duke.
The duke reference there for minutes, society, But I'm glad
you did. What what happened, what happens, well, forder Field.
Speaker 6 (37:03):
Most of the reports, you know, they love to say
multiple reports. There's been a lot of dissension, there's been
a lot of resentment.
Speaker 4 (37:10):
You know in the Heat.
Speaker 6 (37:11):
Organization from a couple of different guys. They didn't want
to say any names, but I'm gonna tell y'all who
those names are. The obvious names were Jimmy Butler and
Taler Hero. Both of those guys are just upset and
salty because they got traded away, right pat Riley, he
chose Bam as the franchise player, right, and he got
(37:33):
a super Max extension. You know, Jimmy Butler was dying
to get paid for Miami. They shipped him off the
Golden Say. And now, if you're a talent, Hero, you're
sitting here like y'all sending me back to Wisconsin, you know,
even though he's originally from Wisconsin. I mean, LaVar, who
wants to live in Wisconsin? And if you can live
in Miami?
Speaker 4 (37:52):
Right? So I feel like that's the.
Speaker 6 (37:54):
Real frups of the sodium that we're dealing with in
this situation.
Speaker 4 (37:59):
I think Hero.
Speaker 6 (38:01):
I think Tyler Hero is just salty because of all places,
you trade me back to Wisconsin, right? And I also
think it's crazy that we live in this time now
where players are having.
Speaker 4 (38:14):
Like enough trust?
Speaker 6 (38:16):
Why are you DM and random fans on Twitter with
personal information about your teammates, like.
Speaker 4 (38:23):
What type of time are we living in?
Speaker 6 (38:25):
Right?
Speaker 4 (38:26):
But I think that's that's all. Yeah, it's like, what's
happening to the code? What happened on old?
Speaker 2 (38:31):
Yeah, there's no code anymore. Man, It's dangerous out here, bru.
Speaker 6 (38:37):
It's a lot of pocket watching. I think Tyler Hero
is doing a lot of pocket watching.
Speaker 4 (38:41):
And hating on Bam. But I would tell y'all this
the end of show.
Speaker 6 (38:45):
The more of the story in this story with Bam
and Taler Hero, and you know we've seen a little
shiner under his eye last night at Summer League on
the interview. The more of the story is this every
dude that I know who grew up in a single
wive trailer like Bam did in eastern North Carolina where
I'm from. I grew up in a single wild trailer,
So I could speak to this every guy that I
(39:07):
know that grew up in a single wild trailer, they
have hands and they know how to fight.
Speaker 4 (39:13):
His nickname is Bam or a region like the fis
emoji that fits emoji. His name is Bam for a reason.
And Tyler Hero, you got them.
Speaker 6 (39:25):
You gotta keep that same energy in person you was
talking spicy on the DM and when Bam ran up
on you last night. And this happened at Resorts World
by the way, in the casino at the practice court
inside Resorts World. They say he ran directly up on
him and just put those palls on that guy.
Speaker 4 (39:43):
So I think the more of the story is.
Speaker 6 (39:45):
Leave guys alone. That grew up in the single wire
trailer lavos.
Speaker 8 (39:49):
Mm.
Speaker 3 (39:49):
Well, there you guys have it from the man himself.
That's cuffs the legend. Let's let's give a show recap
real quick before we get up out of here. We
talked flag football, got some great feedback from the listeners
out there. We appreciate the audience participating and giving their
thoughts on the topic. It is an interesting and long,
(40:10):
long going topic. But now it's gonna be an Olympic
game and the sport is growing. So that's been a
great conversation. Shador Sanders and the quarterback situation in Cleveland
that was discussed, Shakur Stevenson and Shannon Sharp, ignorance versus entertainment, opinions, boxing, fighting,
all those good things that took place, and we talked
(40:32):
Bam value value, Yo, I don't know what I cast say.
His name, Lebron James. Where's he gonna land? All those
good things? You can catch it on the podcast after
we finished the show. Jonas Knox is coming up next.
Speaker 2 (40:44):
This will do it for us.
Speaker 3 (40:45):
It's a rap. Thank you to you Cuffs, Thank you
to you Bo and mister Purfet. We appreciate you guys,
and yet enjoy your weekend. This is up on game
Fox Sports Radio.
