the right link for our YouTube. Still don't know the
name of Mike's segment from yesterday.

That's never a bad thing. What's up, everybody? Happy Thursday?
Speaker 1 (00:37):
We are going to look backwards a bit of a
throwback Thursday, but not in the way that Cavino and
Rich usually do it. It comes up in about twenty
minutes or so, but we are going to look back
at not only something that we said yesterday, but something
that Draymond Green said yesterday.

Speaker 4 (01:14):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
When I just tweeted it out, it was a link.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
So I think I'm not doing anything fancy here. I'm
literally just.
Speaker 6 (01:24):
Dan.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
I know, I just think I may have done the
wrong one.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
But yes, you can.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
You can always listen to us on the radio app
or your local station. Jason Stewart is here in Danny
Gee's place today. Hello Jason, Hello everybody, Hi, Iowa. Sam
here on a should we call it a stressed out Thursday.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
No calmed him down that quickly.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Everything is good. Everything is all good. And we said
goodbye to prison Mike and say hello to Chris Perffett
at the news desk. What's going on, Chris?
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Everything is wonderful. Everything is fantastic.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
It is so it is unless you're Draymond Green, who,
for whatever reason just isn't understanding how things work.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
I think Draymond Green is fine. I think he's fine,
Like he thinks he's fine. Yes, do you get what
I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (02:11):
I don't think he's losing sleepover any of the things
that come out of his mouth.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Are you sure?
Speaker 4 (02:16):
I really don't think so.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
I'll tell you what. The inside of the NBA crew
is super professional, and last night after a dog of
a game between the Timberwolves and Spurs, something that, by
the way, I thought we called in tinder Wolves. Are
you calling it tinder Wolves like Moncey or wolves?
Speaker 7 (02:33):
It depends who's saying it. To Mancia's Timberwolves.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
I think we called last night's tinder Wolves game, yes,
where we thought it was going to be a blowout. Now,
Wenby didn't have thirty, but they didn't need him to
do because they were up by thirty for most of
the second half, if not all of it, So it
was a blowout. After that game, he got to do
inside the NBA, and even Ernie made the joke. But
this happened earlier inside the NBA in the program with
Draymond Green sitting in the chair of Shaquille O'Neal talking
(02:58):
about the latter days of the Warriors, and as their
raign is coming to an end, which shouldn't be a
shock to anyone who was a theme throughout the season,
and when he saw them hug on the sidelines, he
kind of knew something was going to happen. Still no
determination on Steve Kerr's future, but Draymond Green, Kenny Smith,
Charles Barkley, Ernie Johnson talking about the demise of the
Warriors and this is how it all started. Sports are
(03:20):
for young people.
Speaker 6 (03:21):
You hope to have a great, long career, but sports
nobody wins when they're thirty seven, thirty eight.
Speaker 8 (03:28):
That you said what you said, I didn't want to
hear if he believes what you're talking, Yeah, I mean
I think the goal is just to not look like.
Speaker 9 (03:36):
You in the Houston Rockets uniform. Yeah, its ultimately a
goal for us, like we don't want to What does
that look like?
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Did you see it? I'm just asking I saw it.
I mean, so, all right, that's kind of the point.
I don't think Charles heard him. I don't think Charles
was listening to him, because Charles said yeah to that
point where it sounded like it agreed with him, and
I don't think that he did because then he stepped
up and was like, well, tell me about it. Then, Draymond,
if it was that, if you're going to go to
(04:04):
that point, Kenny, you right away that that was a
low blow. Yes, And then Draymond had the decision to
make do you stick with it or do you apologize
and make a U turn? Well, he's not going to
make an apology and make a U turn. He stuck
with it, said what he had to say, and moved on.
And after that there wasn't a huge back and forth
where Chuck took offense, but everyone else I felt on
(04:26):
social media took offense to what Draymond Green said because
what Draymond Green said not only was it classless Monci,
it was factually incorrect when you look at Charles Barkley's
tenure with the Houston Rockets.
Speaker 5 (04:36):
Immediately when he said that, I was like, first of all,
did you watch Charles Barkley?
Speaker 4 (04:40):
Like really watch him?
Speaker 5 (04:42):
Because I were around the same age Draymond Green and
high and I have images of my brothers watching Charles Barkley.
One of my brothers, Gus, Hey, what's up? One of
his favorite players, if not his favorite player, was Charles Barkley,
and so I didn't have like images of him or
memories of him being bad as a rocket. If anything,
(05:02):
I just remember him still carrying a team and being
the guy.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
And that's what's funny about Draymond Green.
Speaker 5 (05:10):
Draymond Green talks a lot like he's the guy when
he just was on a team that had the guys,
and kind of, like Austin Rivers pointed out, like you
got very lucky to be in a situation where you're
surrounded by all of these Hall.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
Of famers in different ways.
Speaker 5 (05:30):
But he tends to speak like he's the guy, And
I don't know if it's ever gonna be something that
can be corrected in his brain because he's not the guy.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
He's not.
Speaker 5 (05:40):
And we don't need to talk about the championships because
everybody knows Charles Barkley didn't win one.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
But let's talk.
Speaker 5 (05:45):
About the All nbas Let's talk about the All Stars,
let's talk about the MVP.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
Let's just talk about being a guy who's.
Speaker 5 (05:51):
Carrying a team, not a guy who's number four on
a team, a great part of a team of a dynasty.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
But you were not the guy, Charles Barkley. You mentioned
his resume there, Charles Barkley did things that Draymond Green
will never hear of. And the problem that I see
with Draymond and what is happening is because he's saying
these things trying to be he's trying to be. Draymond
is what he's trying to be, and he is now
(06:20):
doing harm to his own reputation in his own career
because I think that a lot of us would appreciate
what Draymond did in his career as a defensive player,
for what he did for a long time in his career,
and say, you know what, that's a heck of a player.
But now when Draymond is taking shots at everyone else,
and to your point, talking about roles that players played
(06:43):
that Draymond could never dream of, it makes me, you
and everyone else then say, okay, all right, let's bring
out the fine tune, fine tooth comb, Draymond. Let's look
at your resume. Let's look at what your warriors have
done since you won that last title in twenty twenty two.
Chuck's teams with the Rockets was their four years. They
went to the Western Conference finals twice. They got stocked
in and maloned. That's what they did. Like they were
(07:05):
that's who they ran into. Now, the last year didn't
end right. The next year was the third year was
the lockout season, I believe, but the final year of
his career yet didn't pan out. But when you look
at what's going on, that title for the Warriors was
twenty twenty two. We're in twenty twenty six. This team
made it to the playoffs a couple of times, won
(07:26):
a series against the Kings. Then we're ousted from the playoffs.
They only made it to the conference semifinals twice and
were not competitive. Last year. The Timberwolves made quick work
of them after it took everything for them to just
beat a Houston Rockets team in the first round. And
so when Draymond starts to say those things about Charles Barkley,
separate of all that, it makes us look at Draymond's
(07:46):
career a little bit more. And that's where Draymond is
doing harm.
Speaker 5 (07:49):
You make a good point because it's like, there's no
reason to believe right now that the Warriors are going
to be a competitive team next year. There's no reason
to believe that they're getting older. They don't have the money,
the cap space, the ability to make moves and Jimmy
Butler is not going to come back.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
Love Jimmy, He's not going to come back to start
the season.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
So you're you're at the end of a career and
it can even get worse than it is right now.
So it's why come come at Charles this way? Because
it just didn't it made no sense, like you weren't
actually proving any points at all.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Jason Stewart said yesterday he's sick at debate debate shows,
but you do love conflict, and there appeared to be
conflict last night between Draymond Green and Charles Barkley, and
it obviously peaked your interest as well.
Speaker 7 (08:35):
Conflict, But I think I like discomfort even more, and
this this exchange had plenty of discomfort. You know, in
our business, we see this all the time, right, Draymond
is kind of half in, half out. He's not done playing,
but he wants to do with what we've been doing
for a long time. And we see it all the time.
We watch a show where we listen to a show
(08:57):
and they're being very chummy and they're giving it to
each other and sometimes they give little blows to each other.
And when you enter that space, you think, well, I
could also give them low blows, because that's what the
nature of the show is. And I think when Draymond
said that, he was expecting for each of the people
on that panel to be like, oh, and like give
(09:18):
him props for the line, and it was crickets, because
you don't enter our space. We can give each other crap,
but you can't enter our space. You haven't earned the
right to do this. And I think draymro that's just
one of my issues with this exchange. And then he
goes on like Charles Barkley. I'm old enough to remember
that Charles Barkley had to do like either jail time
(09:41):
or pay a stiff penalty for throwing a small person
out a window. It's like part of his story. I
wish he had done something in this moment, Like would
anyone have blamed Charles for like throwing a punch or
like at least saying something.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
You were right?
Speaker 7 (09:56):
He demurred, like he kind of let it go. But
I think everybody thought Charles was well within his right
to say something or do something physical in that moment.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
I want to get to Chris Purfett in a second,
But you talk about the Charles Barkley past. It's something
I mentioned earlier on the network that for those that
don't remember, And by the way, Monty Year saying you're
around the same age as Draymond Green. I looked it up.
Draymond Green was ten. Yeah, in what would have been
the worst series of Charles Barkley's career. Yeah, so when
you're ten years old, I don't think that you can
grasp really what is going on and what is happening
(10:26):
with the player. But Charles Barkley, there was a time
where he was a bad boy in the NBA. He
wasn't liked, he was maybe a bully and had conflicts
with reporters. That obviously is a complete one eighty to
the Charles Barkley that we know now. And that's the
lesson that I think Draymond Green needs to learn. It's
right there in front of you, Charles Barkley and Bill
(10:47):
Lambier and everybody's fighting during the eighties. Charles Barkley's getting fined,
Charles Barkley's on commercials saying I'm not a role model.
And now look book after book, everybody wants Charles Barkley,
Draymond Green sticking to the stick of who he is
as a player as a menace is not going to
go well for him as he furthers along in his career.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Yeah, I just in addition to that, I think I
think his time on the inside the NBA has also
dulled us to just because Charles is such a self
defacing person, I think we forget sometimes how good he
was just period on the court, not just his attitude,
but like Draymond's like chipping at his time in Houston.
And I'm sorry, Draymond, you you kind of wish you
(11:32):
could have an end of a career like Charles Barkley
had even in Houston, like the how good Chuck was
as or as the round mount of rebound is just
completely lost in this kind of fight, when the Draymond
jab was just not only mean, but also anachronistic. This
is one of the greatest players who have ever played
(11:53):
the game of basketball, and just because he doesn't have
a ring on his finger does not take away for
how good of a player he was. And I think
that you should flaunt that a little bit more.
Speaker 5 (12:02):
I don't know if I don't know if what you
said made me just think that he didn't hear it right,
in the moment, and you're right, did he not hear
it or did he not process it in time?
Speaker 4 (12:13):
But his reaction, his.
Speaker 5 (12:17):
Lack of reaction only benefited Charles Barkley because imagine if
he would have like snapped back, and then it becomes
a bit of a shouting match. Sometimes Charles can get
animated and also say some.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
Things that aren't correct because he's trying to defend himself.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
But the fact that he remained so cool, calm and collected,
And I don't know if that was because he didn't
hear it or he just was like I'm shocked he
said that.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
Whatever it was, it made him look so much better.
Speaker 5 (12:44):
And like you pointed out Dan, like Draymond, you're talking
to a former bad boy.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
You're talking to a guy who did it.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
Before you, who had a better career as Chris and
we have pointed out already, and so as everybody else.
So if he made you look like a mean guy,
that's that's so bad.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
Yes, that's so bad.
Speaker 5 (13:06):
He made you look so much worse when he's also
a former bad boy.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
I loved Kenny and singing up. I think that at
the point as well, is to Jason's point of you
think you're going to come in here on our show
and do this. You've been welcomed before. We've welcomed you
in and done all of this. I want to play
it again just so you can. You can tell in
Kenny's voice, he's like, oh, okay, what was that like?
Tell us Kenny wasn't doing that to be like, let's
(13:32):
let's rain on Charles parade. He's calling Draymond out for
something that he thought was ridiculous. Here was the exchange. Again,
Sports are for young people.
Speaker 6 (13:41):
You hope to have a great, long career, but sports
nobody wins when they're thirty seven, thirty eight.
Speaker 8 (13:48):
That you said what you said, I didn't want to
hear if he believes what you're talking.
Speaker 9 (13:53):
Yeah, I mean I think the goal is just to
not look like you in the Houston Rockets uniform. Yeah,
it's odd to me to go for us like we
don't want to What does that look like?
Speaker 1 (14:04):
See just see that? Yeah right there. Kenny knows Charles
wasn't listening. Kenny knows Charles didn't hear it, so he
said yes, So Kenny steps in talk about Friend of
the Year, right, like of stepping up and having your
guys back and.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
Very simple question, what are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Yeah, what do you mean?
Speaker 4 (14:21):
Elaborate for us?
Speaker 1 (14:24):
I want to I want to run this down. Charles
Barkley's career started in the eighty four to eighty five
season rookie year as a rookie, and he's talked about
his rookie time. I believe you know, guys like Moses Malone,
doctor j Andrew Tony were on that team. That's a
tough team for a young guy to break into it, and
he talks a lot about how those guys had such
an effect on his career. So year number two, you
(14:46):
ready for this, Sixth in the MVP, the next year,
sixth in the MVP, next year, fourth MVP votes next year,
sixth after that, runner up next year, fourth in nineteen
ninety two, twelfth in the MVP in nineteen ninety three,
won it with the Phoenix MVP, finished tenth in voting
in ninety four, ninety five, finished sixth as an MVP,
twelfth in voting for the MVP in ninety six, and
(15:07):
then in his first season with the Rockets that We Hate,
got MVP votes with sixteenth at the age of thirty three.
At that point, Draymond Green once was one time finished
seventh in voting for the MVP in the twenty fifteen
twenty sixteen seventy three win season.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
Again not the guy.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
You wouldn't trade a season of Charles Barkley's for Draymond Green's. Well,
you talk about individual you can hide behind the rings,
which I think Draymond Green is doing, or hiding behind
Steph Curry and Klay Thompson. But nobody here, nobody in
the right mind would rather have Draymond Green season or
career than Charles Barkley's.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
Nobody, not even Kenny the Jet.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Oh no, I loved it, you know it was, and
called him on it. And again I'm not giving credit
to Draymond, but there was no way he was going
to walk that back because that's not who he is,
especially what happened off the heels of the Austin Reeves
sort of thing. He's not in the business of doing that.
But at some point, Moncy, he's got to turn it around.
(16:07):
And it's why said earlier this week that I think
Austin Reeves is going to have a better media career
than Draymond Green because or Austin Rivers again gosh, he
did it again. We needed the jar here. We had
the Taylor Swift, Travis Kelcey Dollar, Jarren Cavino, and Rich
I need to do it here. I think Austin Rivers
is going to have a better media career because right
now Draymond Green isn't getting it. You don't just rain
on everyone's parade. And at some point it's really going
(16:32):
to come to Burnham. Last night may have been that point.
Maybe the backlash he receives he'll recognize it, but I
don't think he's there at that point to even understand
what he really said last night.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
To wrap it up, because I know we're kind of here,
but I was gonna say his initial response when Kenny
the Jet asks him, he takes it like a breath,
like he almost doesn't know how to respond to Kenny.
Can you play a backsam real quick? Listen to his
real action right away?
Speaker 4 (17:02):
You're good? No, yeah, you're fine.
Speaker 5 (17:04):
It's just his he is kind of taken aback by
Kenny the Jet responding in such a very subtle way.
It's not it's not aggressive, it's not loud. He just
wants to ask him.
Speaker 9 (17:18):
I think the goal is just to not look like
you in the Houston Rockets uniform. Yeah, as ultimately a
goal for us, like we don't want to what does
that look like?
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Did you see it?
Speaker 5 (17:32):
Doesn't know what to say initially and it was like
you said, you had an opportunity to you turn and say, oh,
that came out wrong.
Speaker 4 (17:39):
That's actually not what I meant.
Speaker 5 (17:41):
You know what I mean, and said, took a moment,
processed it and said I'm gonna double down on my stupid.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
With nothing, with nothing, zero facts with a who he
was ten, he was ten, he was ten at the time.
It's this is kudos to them. I know some people
have not been fans of Barkley in shack kind of
throwing water on the current players. I think that what
(18:08):
Charles was saying last night was true. And in the
current players you now have this divide. You have these
young players and you have these older players. I feel
the older players in the NBA have actually held back
some of the star possibilities we could have because we're
still talking about Lebron, We're still talking about Kevin Durant,
We're still talking about Steph Curry. I've been in the
(18:29):
league a long time and with them still in the league.
It means we're going to talk about him, but I
just it's Charles was actually sticking up for the young
players in the league for once and understanding what it
takes to win a championship. Draymond took it personally and
then did what he did.
Speaker 7 (18:47):
Jason Stewart, I wanted to wrap this up with an analogy,
and I know I'm a fifty three year old white guy,
but I this is what this reminds me of. Ten
years ago. There was a famous rap battle between Meek
Mill and dre and the consensus was Meek Miller just
destroyed this guy, and then Drake in the same week
(19:07):
had this like meme from the Hotline Bling video. I
don't know if you remember the meme. Anyways, he was
having a really rough week on social media, and just
by consensus people that follow both both brands, I think
Draymond Green's having that kind of week. I think Austin
Rivers completely ruined him in the battle of words earlier,
and the reaction, even though Charles wasn't defensive at all
(19:29):
last night, the reaction by everybody who covers the sport today,
it's almost running like ninety nine to one for Charles.
So I think I think is that is an ad
an apt analogy, that Draymond Greens having a Drake kind
of week.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Sure, thank you guys. And I didn't realize that Drake
had it twice done to him because the Kendrick Lamar
one that we oh, he's always on the losing ends
of these, but I think he can be an easy target.
You know that Drake can be. But I think you're
right that he And yeah, he came with that last
night because of what happened with Austin Rivers.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
Absolutely absolutely in the.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Show, he still had the fastball.
Speaker 5 (20:06):
Draymond Green, uniting basketball fans everywhere who would have thought, yeah,
thank you Draymond.

(20:47):
Chat is going. Manny tweets in man he sends the
post in I shouldn't say tweet, but says Manny, Munio's
I remember the Nike commercial. I am not a role model.
That's who Charles Barkley was at one point, right, But
now I think I think that Charles Barkley is beloved
by everyone.
Speaker 5 (21:03):
Manny also chimed in, and I believe it's the same one.
But he says, so we all believe this is the
last time he sits in Shock's chair. I don't. I
don't know about that, but as you pointed out, this
could have been something that did rub people that make
decisions behind the doors the wrong way.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
This could have.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
The only way that I think he would be removed
is if Charles would say I don't want him there? Yeah,
And I think that they would go to Charles and say,
do you really want do you want him there anymore?
That's that's actually the process that I think would happen.
Do you want do you still want? Draymond? And I
think Chuck would be like, yeah, absolutely, Yeah, why like
he would like, Charles isn't gonna kick him out of
(21:45):
the spot. Yeah, but I do think that Draymond needs
to understand and learn a little something from what went on. Absolutely,
she's Manti Blanio. So I'm Dan Byer. Let's jump over
to the news desk Chris Purfett giving us the latest,
and then we'll do our Throwback Thursday in a different,
unique sort of way. What's going on today? Chris?
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Did we clear this throwback Thursday with Sam? He's very
particular about the different segments on.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Are we good? Are we? It's not like the actual
throwback Thursday, a full throwback Thursday. Do you guys want
to do the imaging? You want to do that? Well,
I'm doing an update, not the second. Don't worry about it.
Speaker 7 (22:20):
But I think it's good instinct on Chris's part to
clear everything with Sam. He's having a very testy day,
so I don't want to do it anything.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Well as as a as as I am not here
to agitate Sam.
Speaker 7 (22:32):
Yeah, let's bringing it up is a great way to
have it go away two times now, thank you.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
I just as a technical producer myself, sometimes I like
to make sure that every everyone's ducks are in a
row sometimes because clearly it comes back to him. You're
the are you a catcher?
Speaker 7 (22:48):
You update?
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Thanks? Okay, here's the deal. Okay, you'll get to your
update in tens. Let me just say this. I think
everybody's had those days. It's just just like stuff's not
working for you. It's just is not check it. Yeah, traffic,
you get hit everywhere, light, we get it. So, Sam,
I know you think that we're picking on you. We aren't.
We've all been there, and uh so we understand.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
If anything, I'm commiserating.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Yeah, oh I don't think you're doing that. Yeah, but I.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
About too by saying that, as as my idol Fred
Durst would say, it's just one of those days.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
I could give you, Joe details on the Women's n
I T, which isn't owned by the NCAA, so they
had to come up with their own tournament called the
wb I T because the w i I T was already
run by a different organization. There's your summary to that.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
Oh ah, excuse me, miss I misread that down wn
I T.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
I think I was. Sam and I are the only
ones that know that because we actually talked about it
about a month ago.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
Interesting, I know, I know the n it used to
be bigger than the answer the rest of the I know.
Warnerback Aarony Badgers, is expected to visit the Pittsburgh Steelers,
and according to NFL Networks Ian Rapport, he's likely to
play for Pittsburgh this season. You don't have a contract yet,
but could be finalized as early as this weekend. Nick's
ford ognanob is day to day after being diagnosed with
a right handstring hamstring strain. Cubs extended their win streak
(24:02):
to nine games. They complete a sweep of the Reds
eight to three, and at the Truest Championship first round.
You have co leaders between SOUNJM and Matt McCarty at
six under back to on Airbnb.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Thank you very much, Chris find them at Chris PERFETI
is Moncey Belanios. I'm Dan Beyer. I'm sympathetic to Sam
as well because I haven't asked for golf to be
put on the TVs just yet, so you know, like
so I feel your pain. I'm not feeling the pain today.
Now there is MONSI, now there is Jason Stewart, but
we are feeling some interesting vibes from something that we
(24:37):
said on the show yesterday. Our social media department does
a great job of putting out clips, and we put
out the clip of Lebron James talking about them missing
Luka Dancic and how it's difficult to compete against the Thunder,
a championship caliber team when someone who averages thirty five points,
eight assists, seven rebounds a game. Difficult to compete with
(24:59):
that level of a team when that piece is missing.
Speaker 5 (25:01):
Yeah, comments made after the Lakers lost and one against
the Thunder, And.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
The point that we made on the show was this
wasn't Lebron saying, hey, man, give us some slack. This
was Lebron pointing out that the star player, the one
that everybody wants to have, Lebron be pushed out of
town by the new King Laker. Luca is not there
(25:27):
for you. He does not provide his thirty five points
per game and his eight assists in seven rebounds because
he's hurt right now. So it's Lebron who has to
carry the load. Into Jason's point in the first round.
It allowed Lebron to look like the savior. Now he's
making Luca look like the scapegoat, and I don't think
it's any coincidence manse that Luca came out and spoke
(25:50):
with reporters and explained more about his injury less than
twenty four hours after Lebron said what he had to say.
I don't think that there's any coincidence. So we put
the clip up and it has been a wide ranging,
wide ranging response of people who think that we hate
Lebron and are putting words in his mouth. There are
people who agree with what Lebron says but feels that
(26:13):
we're being dirty. We are all over the map on
the comments when it comes to this social media clip, which.
Speaker 5 (26:19):
We love and appreciate, But it's just I I'm sorry,
is it bad that we hold Lebron James accountable? That
I feel like he should have expected a question like
this And I think you pointed this out yesterday, Jason,
that this is probably something that he had in his
back pocket from the.
Speaker 4 (26:36):
First series and then we get to use it.
Speaker 5 (26:38):
So it was already there, but it was like it
seemed like he was ready that answer had details, had numbers.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
It was it was structured in.
Speaker 5 (26:46):
A way from had a beginning, It had a middle
and an end. You know what, it was a thought
out answer, and it's just like you knew it was coming.
And to me, it was more like Lebron, we all
know Luca's not here. That has been a topic of
conversation for weeks. We know that, so why say that
I agree with you?
Speaker 6 (27:02):
Dan.
Speaker 5 (27:02):
He was definitely wanting to point out that Luca, the
new golden child of the Lakers, was not here for them,
is not here to hold up his end of the bargain.
Speaker 4 (27:14):
But me, I'm doing that, And then.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Some and then some we talked about Draymond Green and
we're gonna hear what Lebron said, but we talked about
Draymond Green and the Charles Barkley thing. Draymond did say
something later on inside the NBA saying that he knew
in games that he was going to criticize the officials,
but he said that if they lost the game, he
wouldn't do it because it would look like sour grapes.
You're right, I think Lebron had these feelings and he
(27:38):
needed an opportunity to do so. Not only that, Manzi,
he couldn't do it on a night where he went
three of sixteen from the floor and had eight points, yep,
but he could if Austin Reeves did that. Lebron's stat
sheet was full twenty seven points, twelve of seventeen from
the floor. I think it was six rebounds, four assists
or maybe vice versa. But Lebron did a lot and
that also allowed him the opportunity to say what he
(28:00):
had to say. And if you missed it, this was
Lebron from two nights ago.
Speaker 11 (28:04):
Where do you think the offense issues are coming from?
Speaker 1 (28:07):
Right now? Obviously that's a great issues coming from.
Speaker 11 (28:09):
Yeah, yeah, we have a guy at average thirty seven
in the game. You have thirty five this year thirty
three and a half.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
I mean, what are you asking?
Speaker 3 (28:21):
Okay, well I'm asking.
Speaker 11 (28:22):
I mean, like you, guys, there's.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
The issues right there.
Speaker 11 (28:24):
We're playing against the number one defensive team in the
NBA as far as the ratings and everything, and when
you play against great defense, you have to have guys
that can track multiple defenders on the floor.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
At all time. I think that's fair enough to what
we've got. UH one suite. The way the media twist
bs with Lebron is weird. They used af After that,
he was asked, what's wrong with offense and brought up
Luca biggest lucas the biggest piece to the offense. You
would rather he act like Luca's irrelevant again, y'all weird?
Speaker 4 (28:58):
Yeah, we are.
Speaker 5 (28:58):
Weird, I mean, but that's beside the I don't think
the weirdness has to be related to this comment that
we had on Lebron. We're weird, yeah, but in a
different way. I just I to me, it was like
you said. I was like, we all know Luca's not here,
so why why point that out?
Speaker 4 (29:14):
Like you want us to feel bad for you? We don't.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Lawrence tweets in If that's what you take from this,
you're ignorant, called us a name. It's clear as Day
used another description that they are missing their number one guy,
and Reeves played like bleep along with Marcus Smart. Yeah,
that's what Lebron is pointing out, and you can't see it.
He's explaining. That's exactly why he said those things. So
(29:39):
you know that Austin Reeves had an awful game, so
you know that Luca isn't there, That's why he's saying this.
You got one. Jason Stewart as well, another comments.
Speaker 7 (29:50):
Oh no, no, no, I just want to own a piggyback
on what you just said. Was it yesterday that you
had said that this is what Lebron's kind of genius is.
He said it in a way that it kind of
sounded like he was giving credit to Luca when he
definitely wasn't. So the comments you're reading right now, these
are the people that he has fooled, that he has yes,
(30:12):
that he has the veil over their eyes. This is
what he wants you to think. But there was a
subtext to it that if you have the if you
have any kind of citicism in your blood. You saw
that as he was separating himself from Luca and putting
the blame on Luca.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
People call this weird. Somebody called on Chris Brussard, former
teammate here in Fox Sports Radio, Nick Right to set
it straight, and then someone else said that's what I
heard as well. It took the first opportunity to throw
Luca under the bus. It's all over the map, whether
it be on X, on IG, on Facebook, so many
different angles. Some people name calling Lebron because they're just
(30:53):
not Lebron fans. Then you have the Lebron stands coming
in to his defense. This is what Lebron wants and
the genius of it. And if you're just gonna take
what Lebron says at face value, shame on you, because
he's shown time and time again what he says isn't
always what he means.
Speaker 4 (31:11):
I'm just we're gonna miss Lebron at some point. We're
gonna miss him when he retire.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
I actually do agree with that.
Speaker 5 (31:19):
I think we're gonna miss him so much because the
thing with Lebron, it's like you, guys, you have to
be He deserves the criticism in a sense because of
how great and he's still around and he's not like
coming off the bench ending his career in this way
where he's not still a guy.
Speaker 4 (31:36):
Like he's still a guy.
Speaker 5 (31:37):
So all of this comes Hey with with great power
comes great responsibility.
Speaker 4 (31:42):
And this is part of it. But we're gonna miss
him when he's gone.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Scott says the Lakers need this drama to cover up
the fact they're gonna get swept. Maybe maybe that's the case.
I don't think we made as much of a big deal,
which I think was obvious on why Lucas spoke yesterday.
Speaker 4 (31:58):
Yeah, we rightly touched on it.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
We want but the reason and the timing of it,
I think that they heard the same things that we heard.
You're just out of the blue that Luca's gonna come back.
Speaker 7 (32:10):
You never see athletes or coaches talk about injuries in
the midst of an injury. In fact, I don't even
think the NBA wants you to do that.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
The Lakers have been so discreet and vague about Austin
Reeves and Luca's injuries. JJ Reddick will come there and
just say they're out indefinitely, and maybe I'll get a
report from Shams or maybe something like Austin's ahead of Luca. Right,
That's it. That was it. We didn't hear anything about
the eight week tim which I think something you said
(32:39):
yesterday where we didn't hear this when he strained his
MRI on April second, and we.
Speaker 4 (32:44):
Didn't hear it when he came back from Spain. We
were never given a time period.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
So then Lebron says that on a Tuesday night and
Wednesday afternoon, Luca's addressing and giving us all the details
that we've kind of been wondering since April second. I mean,
people thought that he was going to make it. Anthony
Edwards return yep right, and now he's not even two
weeks away from returning. So that tells me that Luca
heard and understood everything that Lebron was saying, even if
(33:12):
some of social media can't understand it. Yeah, she's Manzi Bolangos.

Speaker 1 (34:57):
There's been so much going on this week. We've had
a topic. We throw out topics to each other throughout
the week, and there's been one we've been putting off
and yeah, you know what I'm going to say.
Speaker 4 (35:08):
What do you say?
Speaker 1 (35:09):
We were at day late and a dollar short because
I wanted to know what the heck was taking Aaron
Rodgers so freaking long to make this decision. We're weeks
removed from the draft. I was told Manci that Aaron
Rodgers was going to make up his mind. We'll know
pretty quickly following the end of the year on what
(35:30):
Aaron Rodgers is going to want to do different than
the last time. Well, and then the offseason came about,
and quarterbacks moved and everybody moved here and there, and
what do you know, the Pittsburgh Steelers were in the
same spots. I thought, maybe with the draft right, you
may want to draft a quarterback, but they did. They
drafted Drew Aller. They've got Will Howard in their building,
and Mason Rudolph is there. We still didn't know about
(35:50):
Aaron Rodgers. And it to me, we're almost getting to
the halfway point of the season where we're between super bowls,
and with the Super Bowl and Week one, it's usually
around like May twenty third, May twenty fourth, that's usually
the halfway point of the NFL offseason. So we're almost
closer to Week one than we were to the Super Bowl. Also, Manzie,
(36:11):
we believe the NFL schedule is going to be coming
out next week. They're gonna want to do it before
Memorial Day. You're gonna want to know if the Steelers
are going to be on Sunday Night or Monday Night Football.
If Aaron Rodgers is going to be there, they will be.
If it's Mason Rudolph or Will Howard, they probably won't be.
So the NFL needs a decision. So we've been waiting
for this topic, but there's been so much NBA going on.
(36:33):
But we finally have some clarity that Aaron Rodgers is
going to be in Pittsburgh tonight. Ninety three point seven
The Fan in Pittsburgh reported he's going to meet with
the Steelers tomorrow and a deal could be done as
soon as this weekend.
Speaker 5 (36:46):
An expected deal, that's the way it's reported, an expected
deal that he is going to sign. If AI is
telling me the truth, he signed his deal last year
June seventh, So he's a.
Speaker 4 (36:57):
Head of schedule. He's ahead of his own schedule early.
Speaker 5 (37:02):
Yeah, he's like what he's talking about, I am a
whole month ahead of schedule, you should be heavy.
Speaker 4 (37:08):
That's what I think he's thinking, even.
Speaker 5 (37:09):
Though I feel like the Steelers with the what is
it that they placed on him that thing where he
decides yes, they were trying to speed it up.
Speaker 4 (37:17):
They were trying to force his hand by doing that.
Speaker 5 (37:19):
It's like, isn't you're either going somewhere and we get
something for you, or you're retiring or you stay here, Like,
let's figure this out right now.
Speaker 1 (37:25):
I think it was you're taking too freaking long, Tag.
I think that's what it was. Make up the make
up your mind sooner rather than later. Tag. Is what
the NFL, what the Steelers placed on I.
Speaker 5 (37:35):
Look it, it worked a whole month earlier than a
year ago, so they're already in a better position.
Speaker 4 (37:40):
Than they were.
Speaker 1 (37:42):
And then what happens is Aaron Rodgers signs and all
people remember is what the Houston Texans defense did them
in the wild card game that they played at the
end of the year.
Speaker 5 (37:50):
Hey, but they were they were in there in playoffs
and nobody had them.
Speaker 4 (37:54):
No, A lot of people do not have the Steelers
doing that with a forty one year old Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 1 (37:58):
One of the interesting things with the Steelers just to
quickly make this point because you're you're thinking that Aaron
Rodgers is going to be back. So when they were
about to draft McKay lemon and they're on the phone
with him saying, we're gonna take you at twenty one,
You're like, guess what another weapon for Aaron Rodgers. He's
got DK Metcalf, Michael Pittman. Now you've got McKay lemon.
And then the Eagles swoop in grab him, and then
(38:20):
they're like, we're gonna go offensive line. Then you're like
helping Aaron Rodgers again, Like, no matter what you do,
draft a kicker, helping Aaron Rodgers in case the offense stalls,
that's what they're doing. But it looks like Aaron Rodgers
will be a Steeler later rather than sooner.
Speaker 4 (38:37):
But again, before last, before last.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
That's better than the last.
Speaker 6 (38:41):

We are going to look backwards a bit of a
throwback Thursday, but not in the way that Cavino and
Rich usually do it. It comes up in about twenty
minutes or so, but we are going to look back
at not only something that we said yesterday, but something
that Draymond Green said yesterday.

literally just.
Speaker 6 (01:24):
Dan.
Speaker 1 (01:25):

wrong one.
Speaker 4 (01:28):

You can always listen to us on the radio app

here on a should we call it a stressed out Thursday.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
No calmed him down that quickly.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Everything is good. Everything is all good. And we said
goodbye to prison Mike and say hello to Chris Perffett
at the news desk. What's going on, Chris?
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Everything is wonderful. Everything is fantastic.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
It is so it is unless you're Draymond Green, who,
for whatever reason just isn't understanding how things work.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
I think Draymond Green is fine. I think he's fine,
Like he thinks he's fine. Yes, do you get what
I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (02:11):
I don't think he's losing sleepover any of the things
that come out of his mouth.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Are you sure?
Speaker 4 (02:16):
I really don't think so.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
I'll tell you what. The inside of the NBA crew
is super professional, and last night after a dog of
a game between the Timberwolves and Spurs, something that, by
the way, I thought we called in tinder Wolves. Are
you calling it tinder Wolves like Moncey or wolves?
Speaker 7 (02:33):
It depends who's saying it. To Mancia's Timberwolves.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
I think we called last night's tinder Wolves game, yes,
where we thought it was going to be a blowout. Now,
Wenby didn't have thirty, but they didn't need him to
do because they were up by thirty for most of
the second half, if not all of it, So it
was a blowout. After that game, he got to do
inside the NBA, and even Ernie made the joke. But
this happened earlier inside the NBA in the program with
Draymond Green sitting in the chair of Shaquille O'Neal talking
(02:58):
about the latter days of the Warriors, and as their
raign is coming to an end, which shouldn't be a
shock to anyone who was a theme throughout the season,
and when he saw them hug on the sidelines, he
kind of knew something was going to happen. Still no
determination on Steve Kerr's future, but Draymond Green, Kenny Smith,
Charles Barkley, Ernie Johnson talking about the demise of the
Warriors and this is how it all started. Sports are
(03:20):
for young people.
Speaker 6 (03:21):
You hope to have a great, long career, but sports
nobody wins when they're thirty seven, thirty eight.
Speaker 8 (03:28):
That you said what you said, I didn't want to
hear if he believes what you're talking, Yeah, I mean
I think the goal is just to not look like.
Speaker 9 (03:36):
You in the Houston Rockets uniform. Yeah, its ultimately a
goal for us, like we don't want to What does
that look like?
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Did you see it? I'm just asking I saw it.
I mean, so, all right, that's kind of the point.
I don't think Charles heard him. I don't think Charles
was listening to him, because Charles said yeah to that
point where it sounded like it agreed with him, and
I don't think that he did because then he stepped
up and was like, well, tell me about it. Then, Draymond,
if it was that, if you're going to go to
(04:04):
that point, Kenny, you right away that that was a
low blow. Yes, And then Draymond had the decision to
make do you stick with it or do you apologize
and make a U turn? Well, he's not going to
make an apology and make a U turn. He stuck
with it, said what he had to say, and moved on.
And after that there wasn't a huge back and forth
where Chuck took offense, but everyone else I felt on
(04:26):
social media took offense to what Draymond Green said because
what Draymond Green said not only was it classless Monci,
it was factually incorrect when you look at Charles Barkley's
tenure with the Houston Rockets.
Speaker 5 (04:36):
Immediately when he said that, I was like, first of all,
did you watch Charles Barkley?
Speaker 4 (04:40):
Like really watch him?
Speaker 5 (04:42):
Because I were around the same age Draymond Green and
high and I have images of my brothers watching Charles Barkley.
One of my brothers, Gus, Hey, what's up? One of
his favorite players, if not his favorite player, was Charles Barkley,
and so I didn't have like images of him or
memories of him being bad as a rocket. If anything,
(05:02):
I just remember him still carrying a team and being
the guy.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
And that's what's funny about Draymond Green.
Speaker 5 (05:10):
Draymond Green talks a lot like he's the guy when
he just was on a team that had the guys,
and kind of, like Austin Rivers pointed out, like you
got very lucky to be in a situation where you're
surrounded by all of these Hall.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
Of famers in different ways.
Speaker 5 (05:30):
But he tends to speak like he's the guy, And
I don't know if it's ever gonna be something that
can be corrected in his brain because he's not the guy.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
He's not.
Speaker 5 (05:40):
And we don't need to talk about the championships because
everybody knows Charles Barkley didn't win one.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
But let's talk.
Speaker 5 (05:45):
About the All nbas Let's talk about the All Stars,
let's talk about the MVP.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
Let's just talk about being a guy who's.
Speaker 5 (05:51):
Carrying a team, not a guy who's number four on
a team, a great part of a team of a dynasty.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
But you were not the guy, Charles Barkley. You mentioned
his resume there, Charles Barkley did things that Draymond Green
will never hear of. And the problem that I see
with Draymond and what is happening is because he's saying
these things trying to be he's trying to be. Draymond
is what he's trying to be, and he is now
(06:20):
doing harm to his own reputation in his own career
because I think that a lot of us would appreciate
what Draymond did in his career as a defensive player,
for what he did for a long time in his career,
and say, you know what, that's a heck of a player.
But now when Draymond is taking shots at everyone else,
and to your point, talking about roles that players played
(06:43):
that Draymond could never dream of, it makes me, you
and everyone else then say, okay, all right, let's bring
out the fine tune, fine tooth comb, Draymond. Let's look
at your resume. Let's look at what your warriors have
done since you won that last title in twenty twenty two.
Chuck's teams with the Rockets was their four years. They
went to the Western Conference finals twice. They got stocked
in and maloned. That's what they did. Like they were
(07:05):
that's who they ran into. Now, the last year didn't
end right. The next year was the third year was
the lockout season, I believe, but the final year of
his career yet didn't pan out. But when you look
at what's going on, that title for the Warriors was
twenty twenty two. We're in twenty twenty six. This team
made it to the playoffs a couple of times, won
(07:26):
a series against the Kings. Then we're ousted from the playoffs.
They only made it to the conference semifinals twice and
were not competitive. Last year. The Timberwolves made quick work
of them after it took everything for them to just
beat a Houston Rockets team in the first round. And
so when Draymond starts to say those things about Charles Barkley,
separate of all that, it makes us look at Draymond's
(07:46):
career a little bit more. And that's where Draymond is
doing harm.
Speaker 5 (07:49):
You make a good point because it's like, there's no
reason to believe right now that the Warriors are going
to be a competitive team next year. There's no reason
to believe that they're getting older. They don't have the money,
the cap space, the ability to make moves and Jimmy
Butler is not going to come back.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
Love Jimmy, He's not going to come back to start
the season.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
So you're you're at the end of a career and
it can even get worse than it is right now.
So it's why come come at Charles this way? Because
it just didn't it made no sense, like you weren't
actually proving any points at all.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Jason Stewart said yesterday he's sick at debate debate shows,
but you do love conflict, and there appeared to be
conflict last night between Draymond Green and Charles Barkley, and
it obviously peaked your interest as well.
Speaker 7 (08:35):
Conflict, But I think I like discomfort even more, and
this this exchange had plenty of discomfort. You know, in
our business, we see this all the time, right, Draymond
is kind of half in, half out. He's not done playing,
but he wants to do with what we've been doing
for a long time. And we see it all the time.
We watch a show where we listen to a show
(08:57):
and they're being very chummy and they're giving it to
each other and sometimes they give little blows to each other.
And when you enter that space, you think, well, I
could also give them low blows, because that's what the
nature of the show is. And I think when Draymond
said that, he was expecting for each of the people
on that panel to be like, oh, and like give
(09:18):
him props for the line, and it was crickets, because
you don't enter our space. We can give each other crap,
but you can't enter our space. You haven't earned the
right to do this. And I think draymro that's just
one of my issues with this exchange. And then he
goes on like Charles Barkley. I'm old enough to remember
that Charles Barkley had to do like either jail time
(09:41):
or pay a stiff penalty for throwing a small person
out a window. It's like part of his story. I
wish he had done something in this moment, Like would
anyone have blamed Charles for like throwing a punch or
like at least saying something.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
You were right?
Speaker 7 (09:56):
He demurred, like he kind of let it go. But
I think everybody thought Charles was well within his right
to say something or do something physical in that moment.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
I want to get to Chris Purfett in a second,
But you talk about the Charles Barkley past. It's something
I mentioned earlier on the network that for those that
don't remember, And by the way, Monty Year saying you're
around the same age as Draymond Green. I looked it up.
Draymond Green was ten. Yeah, in what would have been
the worst series of Charles Barkley's career. Yeah, so when
you're ten years old, I don't think that you can
grasp really what is going on and what is happening
(10:26):
with the player. But Charles Barkley, there was a time
where he was a bad boy in the NBA. He
wasn't liked, he was maybe a bully and had conflicts
with reporters. That obviously is a complete one eighty to
the Charles Barkley that we know now. And that's the
lesson that I think Draymond Green needs to learn. It's
right there in front of you, Charles Barkley and Bill
(10:47):
Lambier and everybody's fighting during the eighties. Charles Barkley's getting fined,
Charles Barkley's on commercials saying I'm not a role model.
And now look book after book, everybody wants Charles Barkley,
Draymond Green sticking to the stick of who he is
as a player as a menace is not going to
go well for him as he furthers along in his career.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Yeah, I just in addition to that, I think I
think his time on the inside the NBA has also
dulled us to just because Charles is such a self
defacing person, I think we forget sometimes how good he
was just period on the court, not just his attitude,
but like Draymond's like chipping at his time in Houston.
And I'm sorry, Draymond, you you kind of wish you
(11:32):
could have an end of a career like Charles Barkley
had even in Houston, like the how good Chuck was
as or as the round mount of rebound is just
completely lost in this kind of fight, when the Draymond
jab was just not only mean, but also anachronistic. This
is one of the greatest players who have ever played
(11:53):
the game of basketball, and just because he doesn't have
a ring on his finger does not take away for
how good of a player he was. And I think
that you should flaunt that a little bit more.
Speaker 5 (12:02):
I don't know if I don't know if what you
said made me just think that he didn't hear it right,
in the moment, and you're right, did he not hear
it or did he not process it in time?
Speaker 4 (12:13):
But his reaction, his.
Speaker 5 (12:17):
Lack of reaction only benefited Charles Barkley because imagine if
he would have like snapped back, and then it becomes
a bit of a shouting match. Sometimes Charles can get
animated and also say some.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
Things that aren't correct because he's trying to defend himself.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
But the fact that he remained so cool, calm and collected,
And I don't know if that was because he didn't
hear it or he just was like I'm shocked he
said that.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
Whatever it was, it made him look so much better.
Speaker 5 (12:44):
And like you pointed out Dan, like Draymond, you're talking
to a former bad boy.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
You're talking to a guy who did it.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
Before you, who had a better career as Chris and
we have pointed out already, and so as everybody else.
So if he made you look like a mean guy,
that's that's so bad.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
Yes, that's so bad.
Speaker 5 (13:06):
He made you look so much worse when he's also
a former bad boy.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
I loved Kenny and singing up. I think that at
the point as well, is to Jason's point of you
think you're going to come in here on our show
and do this. You've been welcomed before. We've welcomed you
in and done all of this. I want to play
it again just so you can. You can tell in
Kenny's voice, he's like, oh, okay, what was that like?
Tell us Kenny wasn't doing that to be like, let's
(13:32):
let's rain on Charles parade. He's calling Draymond out for
something that he thought was ridiculous. Here was the exchange. Again,
Sports are for young people.
Speaker 6 (13:41):
You hope to have a great, long career, but sports
nobody wins when they're thirty seven, thirty eight.
Speaker 8 (13:48):
That you said what you said, I didn't want to
hear if he believes what you're talking.
Speaker 9 (13:53):
Yeah, I mean I think the goal is just to
not look like you in the Houston Rockets uniform. Yeah,
it's odd to me to go for us like we
don't want to What does that look like?
Speaker 1 (14:04):
See just see that? Yeah right there. Kenny knows Charles
wasn't listening. Kenny knows Charles didn't hear it, so he
said yes, So Kenny steps in talk about Friend of
the Year, right, like of stepping up and having your
guys back and.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
Very simple question, what are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Yeah, what do you mean?
Speaker 4 (14:21):
Elaborate for us?
Speaker 1 (14:24):
I want to I want to run this down. Charles
Barkley's career started in the eighty four to eighty five
season rookie year as a rookie, and he's talked about
his rookie time. I believe you know, guys like Moses Malone,
doctor j Andrew Tony were on that team. That's a
tough team for a young guy to break into it, and
he talks a lot about how those guys had such
an effect on his career. So year number two, you
(14:46):
ready for this, Sixth in the MVP, the next year,
sixth in the MVP, next year, fourth MVP votes next year,
sixth after that, runner up next year, fourth in nineteen
ninety two, twelfth in the MVP in nineteen ninety three,
won it with the Phoenix MVP, finished tenth in voting
in ninety four, ninety five, finished sixth as an MVP,
twelfth in voting for the MVP in ninety six, and
(15:07):
then in his first season with the Rockets that We Hate,
got MVP votes with sixteenth at the age of thirty three.
At that point, Draymond Green once was one time finished
seventh in voting for the MVP in the twenty fifteen
twenty sixteen seventy three win season.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
Again not the guy.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
You wouldn't trade a season of Charles Barkley's for Draymond Green's. Well,
you talk about individual you can hide behind the rings,
which I think Draymond Green is doing, or hiding behind
Steph Curry and Klay Thompson. But nobody here, nobody in
the right mind would rather have Draymond Green season or
career than Charles Barkley's.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
Nobody, not even Kenny the Jet.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Oh no, I loved it, you know it was, and
called him on it. And again I'm not giving credit
to Draymond, but there was no way he was going
to walk that back because that's not who he is,
especially what happened off the heels of the Austin Reeves
sort of thing. He's not in the business of doing that.
But at some point, Moncy, he's got to turn it around.
(16:07):
And it's why said earlier this week that I think
Austin Reeves is going to have a better media career
than Draymond Green because or Austin Rivers again gosh, he
did it again. We needed the jar here. We had
the Taylor Swift, Travis Kelcey Dollar, Jarren Cavino, and Rich
I need to do it here. I think Austin Rivers
is going to have a better media career because right
now Draymond Green isn't getting it. You don't just rain
on everyone's parade. And at some point it's really going
(16:32):
to come to Burnham. Last night may have been that point.
Maybe the backlash he receives he'll recognize it, but I
don't think he's there at that point to even understand
what he really said last night.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
To wrap it up, because I know we're kind of here,
but I was gonna say his initial response when Kenny
the Jet asks him, he takes it like a breath,
like he almost doesn't know how to respond to Kenny.
Can you play a backsam real quick? Listen to his
real action right away?
Speaker 4 (17:02):
You're good? No, yeah, you're fine.
Speaker 5 (17:04):
It's just his he is kind of taken aback by
Kenny the Jet responding in such a very subtle way.
It's not it's not aggressive, it's not loud. He just
wants to ask him.
Speaker 9 (17:18):
I think the goal is just to not look like
you in the Houston Rockets uniform. Yeah, as ultimately a
goal for us, like we don't want to what does
that look like?
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Did you see it?
Speaker 5 (17:32):
Doesn't know what to say initially and it was like
you said, you had an opportunity to you turn and say, oh,
that came out wrong.
Speaker 4 (17:39):
That's actually not what I meant.
Speaker 5 (17:41):
You know what I mean, and said, took a moment,
processed it and said I'm gonna double down on my stupid.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
With nothing, with nothing, zero facts with a who he
was ten, he was ten, he was ten at the time.
It's this is kudos to them. I know some people
have not been fans of Barkley in shack kind of
throwing water on the current players. I think that what
(18:08):
Charles was saying last night was true. And in the
current players you now have this divide. You have these
young players and you have these older players. I feel
the older players in the NBA have actually held back
some of the star possibilities we could have because we're
still talking about Lebron, We're still talking about Kevin Durant,
We're still talking about Steph Curry. I've been in the
(18:29):
league a long time and with them still in the league.
It means we're going to talk about him, but I
just it's Charles was actually sticking up for the young
players in the league for once and understanding what it
takes to win a championship. Draymond took it personally and
then did what he did.
Speaker 7 (18:47):
Jason Stewart, I wanted to wrap this up with an analogy,
and I know I'm a fifty three year old white guy,
but I this is what this reminds me of. Ten
years ago. There was a famous rap battle between Meek
Mill and dre and the consensus was Meek Miller just
destroyed this guy, and then Drake in the same week
(19:07):
had this like meme from the Hotline Bling video. I
don't know if you remember the meme. Anyways, he was
having a really rough week on social media, and just
by consensus people that follow both both brands, I think
Draymond Green's having that kind of week. I think Austin
Rivers completely ruined him in the battle of words earlier,
and the reaction, even though Charles wasn't defensive at all
(19:29):
last night, the reaction by everybody who covers the sport today,
it's almost running like ninety nine to one for Charles.
So I think I think is that is an ad
an apt analogy, that Draymond Greens having a Drake kind
of week.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Sure, thank you guys. And I didn't realize that Drake
had it twice done to him because the Kendrick Lamar
one that we oh, he's always on the losing ends
of these, but I think he can be an easy target.
You know that Drake can be. But I think you're
right that he And yeah, he came with that last
night because of what happened with Austin Rivers.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
Absolutely absolutely in the.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Show, he still had the fastball.
Speaker 5 (20:06):
Draymond Green, uniting basketball fans everywhere who would have thought, yeah,
thank you Draymond.

Chat is going. Manny tweets in man he sends the
post in I shouldn't say tweet, but says Manny, Munio's
I remember the Nike commercial. I am not a role model.
That's who Charles Barkley was at one point, right, But
now I think I think that Charles Barkley is beloved
by everyone.
Speaker 5 (21:03):
Manny also chimed in, and I believe it's the same one.
But he says, so we all believe this is the
last time he sits in Shock's chair. I don't. I
don't know about that, but as you pointed out, this
could have been something that did rub people that make
decisions behind the doors the wrong way.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
This could have.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
The only way that I think he would be removed
is if Charles would say I don't want him there? Yeah,
And I think that they would go to Charles and say,
do you really want do you want him there anymore?
That's that's actually the process that I think would happen.
Do you want do you still want? Draymond? And I
think Chuck would be like, yeah, absolutely, Yeah, why like
he would like, Charles isn't gonna kick him out of
(21:45):
the spot. Yeah, but I do think that Draymond needs
to understand and learn a little something from what went on. Absolutely,
she's Manti Blanio. So I'm Dan Byer. Let's jump over
to the news desk Chris Purfett giving us the latest,
and then we'll do our Throwback Thursday in a different,
unique sort of way. What's going on today? Chris?
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Did we clear this throwback Thursday with Sam? He's very
particular about the different segments on.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Are we good? Are we? It's not like the actual
throwback Thursday, a full throwback Thursday. Do you guys want
to do the imaging? You want to do that? Well,
I'm doing an update, not the second. Don't worry about it.
Speaker 7 (22:20):
But I think it's good instinct on Chris's part to
clear everything with Sam. He's having a very testy day,
so I don't want to do it anything.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Well as as a as as I am not here
to agitate Sam.
Speaker 7 (22:32):
Yeah, let's bringing it up is a great way to
have it go away two times now, thank you.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
I just as a technical producer myself, sometimes I like
to make sure that every everyone's ducks are in a
row sometimes because clearly it comes back to him. You're
the are you a catcher?
Speaker 7 (22:48):
You update?
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Thanks? Okay, here's the deal. Okay, you'll get to your
update in tens. Let me just say this. I think
everybody's had those days. It's just just like stuff's not
working for you. It's just is not check it. Yeah, traffic,
you get hit everywhere, light, we get it. So, Sam,
I know you think that we're picking on you. We aren't.
We've all been there, and uh so we understand.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
If anything, I'm commiserating.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Yeah, oh I don't think you're doing that. Yeah, but I.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
About too by saying that, as as my idol Fred
Durst would say, it's just one of those days.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
I could give you, Joe details on the Women's n
I T, which isn't owned by the NCAA, so they
had to come up with their own tournament called the
wb I T because the w i I T was already
run by a different organization. There's your summary to that.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
Oh ah, excuse me, miss I misread that down wn
I T.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
I think I was. Sam and I are the only
ones that know that because we actually talked about it
about a month ago.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
Interesting, I know, I know the n it used to
be bigger than the answer the rest of the I know.
Warnerback Aarony Badgers, is expected to visit the Pittsburgh Steelers,
and according to NFL Networks Ian Rapport, he's likely to
play for Pittsburgh this season. You don't have a contract yet,
but could be finalized as early as this weekend. Nick's

(24:02):
to nine games. They complete a sweep of the Reds
eight to three, and at the Truest Championship first round.
You have co leaders between SOUNJM and Matt McCarty at
six under back to on Airbnb.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Thank you very much, Chris find them at Chris PERFETI
is Moncey Belanios. I'm Dan Beyer. I'm sympathetic to Sam
as well because I haven't asked for golf to be
put on the TVs just yet, so you know, like
so I feel your pain. I'm not feeling the pain today.
Now there is MONSI, now there is Jason Stewart, but
we are feeling some interesting vibes from something that we
(24:37):
said on the show yesterday. Our social media department does
a great job of putting out clips, and we put
out the clip of Lebron James talking about them missing
Luka Dancic and how it's difficult to compete against the Thunder,
a championship caliber team when someone who averages thirty five points,
eight assists, seven rebounds a game. Difficult to compete with
(24:59):
that level of a team when that piece is missing.
Speaker 5 (25:01):
Yeah, comments made after the Lakers lost and one against
the Thunder, And.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
The point that we made on the show was this
wasn't Lebron saying, hey, man, give us some slack. This
was Lebron pointing out that the star player, the one
that everybody wants to have, Lebron be pushed out of
town by the new King Laker. Luca is not there
(25:27):
for you. He does not provide his thirty five points
per game and his eight assists in seven rebounds because
he's hurt right now. So it's Lebron who has to
carry the load. Into Jason's point in the first round.
It allowed Lebron to look like the savior. Now he's
making Luca look like the scapegoat, and I don't think
it's any coincidence manse that Luca came out and spoke
(25:50):
with reporters and explained more about his injury less than
twenty four hours after Lebron said what he had to say.
I don't think that there's any coincidence. So we put
the clip up and it has been a wide ranging,
wide ranging response of people who think that we hate
Lebron and are putting words in his mouth. There are
people who agree with what Lebron says but feels that
(26:13):
we're being dirty. We are all over the map on
the comments when it comes to this social media clip, which.
Speaker 5 (26:19):
We love and appreciate, But it's just I I'm sorry,
is it bad that we hold Lebron James accountable? That
I feel like he should have expected a question like
this And I think you pointed this out yesterday, Jason,
that this is probably something that he had in his
back pocket from the.
Speaker 4 (26:36):
First series and then we get to use it.
Speaker 5 (26:38):
So it was already there, but it was like it
seemed like he was ready that answer had details, had numbers.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
It was it was structured in.
Speaker 5 (26:46):
A way from had a beginning, It had a middle
and an end. You know what, it was a thought
out answer, and it's just like you knew it was coming.
And to me, it was more like Lebron, we all
know Luca's not here. That has been a topic of
conversation for weeks. We know that, so why say that
I agree with you?
Speaker 6 (27:02):
Dan.
Speaker 5 (27:02):
He was definitely wanting to point out that Luca, the
new golden child of the Lakers, was not here for them,
is not here to hold up his end of the bargain.
Speaker 4 (27:14):
But me, I'm doing that, And then.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Some and then some we talked about Draymond Green and
we're gonna hear what Lebron said, but we talked about
Draymond Green and the Charles Barkley thing. Draymond did say
something later on inside the NBA saying that he knew
in games that he was going to criticize the officials,
but he said that if they lost the game, he
wouldn't do it because it would look like sour grapes.
You're right, I think Lebron had these feelings and he
(27:38):
needed an opportunity to do so. Not only that, Manzi,
he couldn't do it on a night where he went
three of sixteen from the floor and had eight points, yep,
but he could if Austin Reeves did that. Lebron's stat
sheet was full twenty seven points, twelve of seventeen from
the floor. I think it was six rebounds, four assists
or maybe vice versa. But Lebron did a lot and
that also allowed him the opportunity to say what he
(28:00):
had to say. And if you missed it, this was
Lebron from two nights ago.
Speaker 11 (28:04):
Where do you think the offense issues are coming from?
Speaker 1 (28:07):
Right now? Obviously that's a great issues coming from.
Speaker 11 (28:09):
Yeah, yeah, we have a guy at average thirty seven
in the game. You have thirty five this year thirty
three and a half.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
I mean, what are you asking?
Speaker 3 (28:21):
Okay, well I'm asking.
Speaker 11 (28:22):
I mean, like you, guys, there's.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
The issues right there.
Speaker 11 (28:24):
We're playing against the number one defensive team in the
NBA as far as the ratings and everything, and when
you play against great defense, you have to have guys
that can track multiple defenders on the floor.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
At all time. I think that's fair enough to what
we've got. UH one suite. The way the media twist
bs with Lebron is weird. They used af After that,
he was asked, what's wrong with offense and brought up
Luca biggest lucas the biggest piece to the offense. You
would rather he act like Luca's irrelevant again, y'all weird?
Speaker 4 (28:58):
Yeah, we are.
Speaker 5 (28:58):
Weird, I mean, but that's beside the I don't think
the weirdness has to be related to this comment that
we had on Lebron. We're weird, yeah, but in a
different way. I just I to me, it was like
you said. I was like, we all know Luca's not here,
so why why point that out?
Speaker 4 (29:14):
Like you want us to feel bad for you? We don't.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Lawrence tweets in If that's what you take from this,
you're ignorant, called us a name. It's clear as Day
used another description that they are missing their number one guy,
and Reeves played like bleep along with Marcus Smart. Yeah,
that's what Lebron is pointing out, and you can't see it.
He's explaining. That's exactly why he said those things. So
(29:39):
you know that Austin Reeves had an awful game, so
you know that Luca isn't there, That's why he's saying this.
You got one. Jason Stewart as well, another comments.
Speaker 7 (29:50):
Oh no, no, no, I just want to own a piggyback
on what you just said. Was it yesterday that you
had said that this is what Lebron's kind of genius is.
He said it in a way that it kind of
sounded like he was giving credit to Luca when he
definitely wasn't. So the comments you're reading right now, these
are the people that he has fooled, that he has yes,
(30:12):
that he has the veil over their eyes. This is
what he wants you to think. But there was a
subtext to it that if you have the if you
have any kind of citicism in your blood. You saw
that as he was separating himself from Luca and putting
the blame on Luca.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
People call this weird. Somebody called on Chris Brussard, former
teammate here in Fox Sports Radio, Nick Right to set
it straight, and then someone else said that's what I
heard as well. It took the first opportunity to throw
Luca under the bus. It's all over the map, whether
it be on X, on IG, on Facebook, so many
different angles. Some people name calling Lebron because they're just
(30:53):
not Lebron fans. Then you have the Lebron stands coming
in to his defense. This is what Lebron wants and
the genius of it. And if you're just gonna take
what Lebron says at face value, shame on you, because
he's shown time and time again what he says isn't
always what he means.
Speaker 4 (31:11):
I'm just we're gonna miss Lebron at some point. We're
gonna miss him when he retire.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
I actually do agree with that.
Speaker 5 (31:19):
I think we're gonna miss him so much because the
thing with Lebron, it's like you, guys, you have to
be He deserves the criticism in a sense because of
how great and he's still around and he's not like
coming off the bench ending his career in this way
where he's not still a guy.
Speaker 4 (31:36):
Like he's still a guy.
Speaker 5 (31:37):
So all of this comes Hey with with great power
comes great responsibility.
Speaker 4 (31:42):
And this is part of it. But we're gonna miss
him when he's gone.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Scott says the Lakers need this drama to cover up
the fact they're gonna get swept. Maybe maybe that's the case.
I don't think we made as much of a big deal,
which I think was obvious on why Lucas spoke yesterday.
Speaker 4 (31:58):
Yeah, we rightly touched on it.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
We want but the reason and the timing of it,
I think that they heard the same things that we heard.
You're just out of the blue that Luca's gonna come back.
Speaker 7 (32:10):
You never see athletes or coaches talk about injuries in
the midst of an injury. In fact, I don't even
think the NBA wants you to do that.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
The Lakers have been so discreet and vague about Austin
Reeves and Luca's injuries. JJ Reddick will come there and
just say they're out indefinitely, and maybe I'll get a
report from Shams or maybe something like Austin's ahead of Luca. Right,
That's it. That was it. We didn't hear anything about
the eight week tim which I think something you said
(32:39):
yesterday where we didn't hear this when he strained his
MRI on April second, and we.
Speaker 4 (32:44):
Didn't hear it when he came back from Spain. We
were never given a time period.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
So then Lebron says that on a Tuesday night and
Wednesday afternoon, Luca's addressing and giving us all the details
that we've kind of been wondering since April second. I mean,
people thought that he was going to make it. Anthony
Edwards return yep right, and now he's not even two
weeks away from returning. So that tells me that Luca
heard and understood everything that Lebron was saying, even if
(33:12):
some of social media can't understand it. Yeah, she's Manzi Bolangos.

Speaker 1 (34:57):
There's been so much going on this week. We've had
a topic. We throw out topics to each other throughout
the week, and there's been one we've been putting off
and yeah, you know what I'm going to say.
Speaker 4 (35:08):
What do you say?
Speaker 1 (35:09):
We were at day late and a dollar short because
I wanted to know what the heck was taking Aaron
Rodgers so freaking long to make this decision. We're weeks
removed from the draft. I was told Manci that Aaron
Rodgers was going to make up his mind. We'll know
pretty quickly following the end of the year on what
(35:30):
Aaron Rodgers is going to want to do different than
the last time. Well, and then the offseason came about,
and quarterbacks moved and everybody moved here and there, and
what do you know, the Pittsburgh Steelers were in the
same spots. I thought, maybe with the draft right, you
may want to draft a quarterback, but they did. They
drafted Drew Aller. They've got Will Howard in their building,
and Mason Rudolph is there. We still didn't know about
(35:50):
Aaron Rodgers. And it to me, we're almost getting to
the halfway point of the season where we're between super bowls,
and with the Super Bowl and Week one, it's usually
around like May twenty third, May twenty fourth, that's usually
the halfway point of the NFL offseason. So we're almost
closer to Week one than we were to the Super Bowl. Also, Manzie,
(36:11):
we believe the NFL schedule is going to be coming
out next week. They're gonna want to do it before
Memorial Day. You're gonna want to know if the Steelers
are going to be on Sunday Night or Monday Night Football.
If Aaron Rodgers is going to be there, they will be.
If it's Mason Rudolph or Will Howard, they probably won't be.
So the NFL needs a decision. So we've been waiting
for this topic, but there's been so much NBA going on.
(36:33):
But we finally have some clarity that Aaron Rodgers is
going to be in Pittsburgh tonight. Ninety three point seven
The Fan in Pittsburgh reported he's going to meet with
the Steelers tomorrow and a deal could be done as
soon as this weekend.
Speaker 5 (36:46):
An expected deal, that's the way it's reported, an expected
deal that he is going to sign. If AI is
telling me the truth, he signed his deal last year
June seventh, So he's a.
Speaker 4 (36:57):
Head of schedule. He's ahead of his own schedule early.
Speaker 5 (37:02):
Yeah, he's like what he's talking about, I am a
whole month ahead of schedule, you should be heavy.
Speaker 4 (37:08):
That's what I think he's thinking, even.
Speaker 5 (37:09):
Though I feel like the Steelers with the what is
it that they placed on him that thing where he
decides yes, they were trying to speed it up.
Speaker 4 (37:17):
They were trying to force his hand by doing that.
Speaker 5 (37:19):
It's like, isn't you're either going somewhere and we get
something for you, or you're retiring or you stay here, Like,
let's figure this out right now.
Speaker 1 (37:25):
I think it was you're taking too freaking long, Tag.
I think that's what it was. Make up the make
up your mind sooner rather than later. Tag. Is what
the NFL, what the Steelers placed on I.
Speaker 5 (37:35):
Look it, it worked a whole month earlier than a
year ago, so they're already in a better position.
Speaker 4 (37:40):
Than they were.
Speaker 1 (37:42):
And then what happens is Aaron Rodgers signs and all
people remember is what the Houston Texans defense did them
in the wild card game that they played at the
end of the year.
Speaker 5 (37:50):
Hey, but they were they were in there in playoffs
and nobody had them.
Speaker 4 (37:54):
No, A lot of people do not have the Steelers
doing that with a forty one year old Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 1 (37:58):
One of the interesting things with the Steelers just to
quickly make this point because you're you're thinking that Aaron
Rodgers is going to be back. So when they were
about to draft McKay lemon and they're on the phone
with him saying, we're gonna take you at twenty one,
You're like, guess what another weapon for Aaron Rodgers. He's
got DK Metcalf, Michael Pittman. Now you've got McKay lemon.
And then the Eagles swoop in grab him, and then
(38:20):
they're like, we're gonna go offensive line. Then you're like
helping Aaron Rodgers again, Like, no matter what you do,
draft a kicker, helping Aaron Rodgers in case the offense stalls,
that's what they're doing. But it looks like Aaron Rodgers
will be a Steeler later rather than sooner.
Speaker 4 (38:37):
But again, before last, before last.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
That's better than the last.
Speaker 6 (38:41):
Ya.
