Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, listen, this is the Doug Gottlieb Show. Heres
in the Bonus with Doug gottl.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
What Up Doug Gottlieb Show and the Bonus Fox Sports
Radio iHeartRadio app Welcome in Okay. So if it's your
first time listening to the ind the Bonus podcast, you'll
know that basically, and as it plays out on the
on the iHeart Podcast network is this becomes what the
(00:33):
first hour, even though we do it the last hour,
a lot of things going on. I do want to react.
Want I'll tell you a story about what the Kentucky
Derby is really like to somebody who doesn't know anything
about the Kentucky Derby, because the Kentucky Derby and how
(00:54):
it's modestly covered by sports radio is usually like we
do the lamest job ever. And part of it is
because and I can say this on a pod because
usually at least since I've been a Fox, we have
a great relationship with some of the sponsors around Thoroughbread Racing.
(01:15):
But I can't I never went to the track as
a kid. My dad didn't bet on the ponies or
the trotters or even the dogs. Some people I know
a lot of I know a lot of a couple
of coaches in college basketball who grew up or maybe
have spent time at the dog track in the off season,
going back, you know, twenty thirty years ago. But I
(01:37):
grow but the thoroughbread racing thing, like, look, it's a
little bit like how you cover the Masters, Like you're
not allowed to say anything bad otherwise they won't sponsor
you or let you on their grounds. That's what happened
when I was at ESPN, was when ESPN got the
Part three and then the opening round coverage of it,
(01:57):
we were told unequivocally, do not say anything bad about
the Masters if you want to work here. And I
the longer I live, the more I get it right.
I understand that there's a there's a piece of journalistic
integrity that maybe goes away or whatever, and people can, yeah,
(02:18):
make nuance, have nuanced conversation. But by the way, what
is there really bad to say about the Masters now?
Like you can go back historically and okay, I'm not
a huge fan of it, Like look, I'm Jewish. I
don't think they want to be there either. So but
the point is that within the last you know, forty years,
a lot of things have changed and for for for
(02:38):
absolutely for the better. And with Thorowbread Racing, obviously they've
they've gone through a bunch of ugliness off the track
with the death of horses and other stuff. But the
event itself is is pretty amazing. So I'll tell you
about that. I'll tell my story in a second, but
first I want to get to last night a couple
of things. I guess I'm not gonna bite into the
(03:00):
Pat Beverly thing to start, because it feels it feels artificial. Yeah, yeah,
it feels artificial. That's a big thing. It feels like
Pat Beverly has seen what Draymond Green has done. And
Draymond Green's thing. Again, we've seen it before. We've seen
(03:20):
it from the Rodbins and the Lambier's and others, and
there is money in that. And I'm telling you right now,
I don't believe for one second that Pat Beverly doesn't
believe that making himself into this hated man throwing a
bass Are you fucking kidding me? You throw a fucking
(03:41):
basketball into the fucking stands twice to a paying customer. Actually,
let's start the pod with this. Pat Beverly should be
suspended for a fucking year. You throw a basketball twice
to add a fan? Are you fucking kidding me? Adam Silver,
(04:05):
if he has any balls at all, will immediately immediately
suspend him. And here's what you really do. And the
commissioners could absolutely do this. He's a call ESPN and
he's a call turner, and say this guy cannot be
on the air. He cannot cover our sport. We do
not want him representing our sport. Do you know? Heart
(04:27):
is to get people to pay fucking money to go
sit in the stands for a big game. Yeah, heart is,
like the TV viewing experience is unbelieva. Don't get me wrong.
Last night's games were great watches, especially the Philly game.
You know, herd is though, to get people to come
and watch games. And you got an asshole sitting on
the in the bench throwing the fucking ball at you
(04:49):
because and maybe he was an obnoxious fan, It doesn't matter.
There's other fans right around there. You can hit that
one of them with a ball, Like, dude, that's the
kind of shit that in the real world you get
fire cared for, right and and you know it's like
you see those videos on social media of McDonald's workers
(05:12):
getting pushed to the limit and then kicking the shy
level when they kick the shit out of some person
that comes over the counter. But they didn't come over
the counter. They didn't leave their seat. You know, like, look,
if a if a fan, and I'm not, I'm not
saying go run our test mouse the palace, don't ever
go into the stands. But in part this this fans
(05:35):
can't ever come onto the court, can't ever touch you.
And if you wanted a guy ejected, it's really simple.
You just do what Lebron has done. I've seen Westbrook
to you just point him. He's gone, He's gone. Here's
the problem with Pat Beverley. Okay, first, I believe it's artificial.
(05:56):
I believe it's in an effort to his career. Is
he's probably got about a year left, right, and by
the way, he's coming off of an incredible game in
game whatever it was four or five, I don't remember what.
But like, you throw a ball at a fan twice,
(06:18):
what are you doing? What the fuck are you doing?
That's actually what Adam Silver needs to do. Hey, come in
s say like, hey how are you? How are you listen?
Fucking we are in a contract negotiation where billions of
(06:39):
fucking dollars, you asshole, They already think you're an entitled
piece of shit. The greatest challenge, okay, to professional sports
over the next twenty five years is getting people into
(07:04):
the stands to watch games. Because if you went to
the Indiana game last night, which was a great atmosphere
and a fucking ass kicking of those joke of a
team called the Bucks an ass kicking, but by the
time you got home, I mean, nobody lives right next
to the arena, might have lived up in Carmel, great suburb.
(07:28):
By the time you got home, you know you missed
hat the Philly game, and you're fucking exhausted. Whereas if
you don't go out, or you're in anywhere else in
the world, like you just sit there and watch both games.
Don't cost you a debt penny, you don't have to
pay for parking, you don't have to get the tickets,
you don't have to worry about people being around you. You
just watch and it's an incredible viewing experience. It's not
(07:49):
the same as being in person, but you know what else,
it doesn't happen you don't get a ball thrown at you.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Doug Gottlieb
Show weekdays at three pm Eastern noon Pacific on Fox
Sports Radio in the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Oh and then after the game, he doesn't want to
talk to a reporter because she hasn't downloaded his podcast.
Fuck you, Pat Pev. Like if you were joking, it
was funny, like, ugh, did you download podcast? You did
show me on your phone? That's funny, Like, whoever download
my podcast? I'll answer that question first, But like, you're
just a fucking dick, and I'll just call it right now, Pat,
(08:25):
I think all of this thing is fake. You are
fucking fake fake. Like, bro, you got twenty thirty forty
to fifty million in the bank. Okay, treat people with
some fucking respect, got it. Understand people yell shit out
of the stands. They shouldn't yell at you. I understand
people are assholes throwing a basketball into his stands where
(08:47):
there's twenty thirty other fans around, Like, dude, they can
you know they can sue your ass right. I just
the whole thing is so fucking out out of whack
with how any reasonable person like what And he didn't
(09:10):
do it once, he did it twice. So look, here's
what Pat Beverly's doing. He's trying to as his career dwindels,
he's trying to create some he wants to be the
new Draymond. Right, everybody hates him when he's like and
and here's the reality to Pat Bev. He's an unbelievable story. Right.
(09:34):
He was at Arkansas, he left early. He shouldn't have.
He got bad advice. He had to go to Ukraine,
go to Kiev and play and baled out and made
himself into a bona fide NBA Player's awesome. He's tougher
than shit, he can make shots, talks a little shit
like in order to play. What people don't understand about
Pat Beverly is in order to make it in the NBA.
(09:56):
What do he and TJ McConnell, who kicked his fucking
ass last night. TJ McConnell kicked your ass and you
couldn't handle it, So then you throw a pissy fit.
And then when somebody yells at you have the stands,
you throw a ball at him twice. But the thing
that Pat Bevan t J McConnell have in common is
at least on the court, they have real toughness. You
(10:17):
can't be six to two and below in the NBA
and not be tougher than a two dollars stake. So
I actually marvel at what he has been able to
do as an NBA player, And like you get towards
the end of a run, you start to think of, Hey,
what's next, what can I do next? And he's got
(10:38):
the pod, and he's got a little bit of love
from TV, and he's bright, he's good with a word,
like he'll be all right on TV. He'll be good
on TV, and like, you can't have all people that
people like. Remember Barkley threw a guy through a plate
glass window. Fuck that shit did happen? Raymond's gonna be
on TV. You don't like Draymond, don't turn on NBA
TV for at NBA games broadcast for the next thirty years,
(11:02):
he'll be on. But that's what this is for Pat Beverley.
This is a way to create concoct an image of
being a bad boy, being a bad boy, because really
he's a fucking clown and something like, you know, remember
he talked shit about Kevin Durant. And then didn't Kevin
(11:23):
Durant drop a fifty piece and elimination game. That's when
Kevin Rant goes, I'm Kevin. I'm fucking Kevin Durant. Remember that. Yeah,
they were talking all that shit, and then Kevin Durant's like, ye,
I'm Kevin Durant and that was that. So I would
suspend him for a year a year, and I would
(11:47):
I would make sure I told all my broadcast partners
you can't put him on TV. That's part of being suspended.
That's what I would do. As for the bucks, I mean,
I feel bad, but I don't feel bad. We told
you on this very same pod when the trade happens, okay,
(12:08):
that basketball is not just like you can't do the well.
Damian Lillard averages thirty points a game and Drew Holiday
averages seventeen points a game, and so we'll load a
little bit in defense, but we'll make it up with
the fifteen points more game that we'll have. That worked
that way. It worked that way. The shit doesn't work together.
(12:33):
And I'll go I'll get into Damian Lillard here. If
you go back and you google, I underrated him, but
I had Damian lild as the eighth best prospect when
he came out in the draft. I've always liked Damian Lillard.
My brother was at Cal at the time, and they
didn't recruit him. They didn't offer him, and they didn't offer.
(12:54):
He played for a team called the Oakland Rebels, and
my brother's like he played the two guard, and he
was we thought he was too small to play it two.
In the Pac twelve, he goes to Weaver and he
plays point and I think he red shirt his first
year there, and he made himself into an unbelievable dynamic
(13:16):
scoring point. Okay, but we've heard all this shit about
Pat Beverly, about Pava. Sorry by Damian Lillard, Damian Little,
Dami Lott. Well, if you saw him with the Olympic team,
he was not at the I don't believe he was
at the level of the other stars. He struggled. He
struggled to play on a team with other people. And look,
(13:36):
being a a radio host, I can tell you that
when you do a solo show for twenty years and
then you work with a co host, that can be challenging.
It's a it's a different way of doing things and
it's harder. And when you've been everything and always had
the ball in your hands and you're going to a
team where there's an MVP, a guy who's been an
(13:59):
NBA Finals MVP and inarguably one of the five best
players in the world. Like it feels like more is more,
but sometimes less is more. And what I think people
are starting to learn about basketball is it's not about
who's the fleet is to foot, it's not about who
scores the most. It really is a beautiful team game.
(14:23):
And I know that people always say that football is
the ultimate team game, and it probably is because he
do need all eleven, I mean all fifty three on
a Sunday, all eighty five on a Saturday, playing together
and on a play, everybody has to perform. But it's
not totally true. But I do think football is the
(14:45):
ultimate team game, but basketball is not far behind. It
takes a team, takes everybody knowing, buying into their role,
and that shit is really, really, really hard. And do
I think the series is different if Yannis plays? Of course,
of course the Bucks likely win. Of Gianni's plays, You're like, no,
(15:07):
come on, dude. A couple of things. Rick Carlisle is
an amazing coach. I've had somebody in the NBA tell
me another coach in the NBA tell me, like, we
know he's better than our head coach, so we just
kind of got to help him plan for it. He's
so fucking good. He's so good. But Pat Beverly is
(15:29):
the dick for what he did. Just let's douchey stuff. Dude,
what are you doing? You can't throw a ball like
this is? This is you're having a bad day. And
whether you're a fry cook or work the front, or
you're a waiter waitress, or you're in any sort of
service industry and unit start a service industry, the customer
(15:53):
is always right, dude. And you threw a ball into
the stands twice? What fuck are you doing? Dude? That's
gonna be a long suspension. But maybe not. Adam Silver
doesn't seem to have the lower intestinal fortitude for that shit. Okay.
And then as far as the other game, I mean, first,
I know Colin wanted to get rid of Joel Embiid
(16:16):
really after last night. If you think Joel Embid's a
problem in Philadelphia, I don't know. I can't really help you.
I just can't he's amazing, equally amazing as Jalen Brnson,
who doesn't have the size, doesn't have the traditional burst
(16:38):
or athleticism, but is a great basketball player. And when
he signed on this very pod, we said, I said
my words that people think they're overpaying for Jalen Brunson,
and I think they're underpaying for Jalen Brunson because what
I know to be true is it's not even as
(17:00):
much about the points and the assists and the rebounds
the defense as well, it's about the fact that the
guy is a force, multiplayer, a culture changer. What he
can do is amazing, amazing, and he's not magic, he's
(17:21):
not Bird, he's not Luca, he's not Joker. But what
he is is like those guys, he lacks the pure
speed and athleticism of like a Jamorant John Moran is
probably his size, not as strong, but a freak athlete.
And take out the Ja Morant injuries, take out the
(17:42):
Ja Morant suspensions, and if you want to know who
you'd rather have, okay, you'd rather have this is the
perfect example Jalen Brunson, because it's about toughness, skill, basketball,
IQ feel and then the reason that I knew he
would work with the Knicks. Is the Knicks they needed
(18:05):
a when people say a culture change, so you bring
in Tibbs. Tibbs does not play a deep bench. Tibbs
is a unique guy. But you need a guy in
the locker room that can lead, not just the coach,
and people want to play with. And so when you're
hearing people say, and I've seen other people tweet out,
you know, Kenny Smith's case Smith saying Jaylen Brunson can't
(18:27):
be your best player to win a championship, I believe
it to be true. Or he can't be your leading scorer.
I believe it to be true. Like the Knicks aren't
winning a championship, They're just not. Now part of it
is you don't have Julius Randall Right. That hurts you
again because he's he's not a lead dog, but he
(18:51):
can go and get you some buckets. And it does
take away on some levels from some of the other
things that he can do. I don't think Jalen Brunson
can win a championship on his own. How they can
give it a finals on his own. I think it's
really hard for anybody to do that. But I specially
think it's hard for Jalen Brunson. But that doesn't mean
that I don't think he's the most valuable player in
(19:14):
the NBA. He brings value, how so if he's not
the best player in the NBA, because it's all the
things you don't see. They play harder, they play more together,
They play tougher than the Knicks I have ever played in.
Tibbs is not easy to play for it. They're all
bought in. It's not just because they're in the playoffs,
you know, and all of that stuff is Jalen Brunson
(19:37):
and then taking over games, winning playoff games twice on
the road in Philadelphia. It's amazing where he goes winning
follows Dallas won more when he was there, Nicks to
winning where when he's here, Nova won two championships, hadn't
won one previously. I understand the first one he was
a bit player in in comparison to all of the
(20:00):
Daniel Chefoo and and and and Ryan arch Diacono and
the others. I get it. But he is a force multiplier.
He is a culture changer. He brings value that you
can't see but you can feel. If you watch the Knicks.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Doug Gottlieb
Show weekdays at three pm Eastern noon Pacific on Fox
Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app. Let's find out who
or what's annoying Jason Stewart and now it's your annoying.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
Hey, Doug. I don't know if you saw this or not,
but Jimmy Kimmel opened up his show on the first
of May with this.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Bit, April is behind us. Today is the first day
of May, and once again, our nation's newscasters were caught
flat footed.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
First, can you believe it? Yeah, norazy, No, I really
can't believe May is here.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
I can't believe it's mail already. You can't believe it's
May first? Already it is May first, and new month.
Can you believe it? I can't believe it's already May.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
So that goes on for about thirty seconds. I guess
credit to Jimmy Kimmel's producers and writers for finding the video,
but they executed my idea. Every month on the first
of the month for the past at least nine years,
I sent out a tweet saying, can you believe it's
already the first of the month? Signed that overly excited
(21:35):
person who is overly amazed that time flies so fast.
And Jimmy Kimmel took that concept and he had the
producers do the legwork and I give him credit, but
he never gave me credit during his monologue. There was
no credit to me for this idea. So he's annoying.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Uh yeah, well, we know that Jimmy and his crew
listen to the show, so the fact that we didn't
get credit, and they also value on social media really
really disappointing. What else they do?
Speaker 4 (22:03):
Yeah, yeah, wow. Lakers remember Dwight Howard. He was the
first overall pick in the draft and he won an MVP.
He took the Orlando Magic to the NBA Finals. He
was like larger than a wife. He was like he
was like the seven foot two guy that had the
like a body of like a six foot guy like
(22:24):
he was. He didn't have that elongated look like Don
chich has and a lot of these seven footers do.
He just he was a He was a man among
children as a player, yes, dominant player. Now he's begging
the Lakers to play for.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Him, passing the phone to the only guy that could
save the Lakers Lakers. Give me here a sign man,
LIMOTELSDD gave me one mojall Oh, come o Jean.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Now, I know this is all tongue in cheek, but
if you followed Dwight Howard at all, he's He's been
constantly begging Genie to have him to put him on
the Lakers all season. That's kind of his thing. And
then you like this really weird thing happened a few
months ago that somehow just went by the boards where
he was outed as at least performing gay acts, and
(23:20):
then nothing ever came of it, like nothing ever came
of it, which was a weird story. Dwight Howard was
always kind of strange and always kind of different. But
I just think it's beneath him to beg any team
for him to play. He's a Hall of Famer, is
he not, Doug.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Dwight Howard's absolutely Hall of Famer. He's reached teo status,
you know where. Believe his body blakes him believe he
could still play in the league, but his game can't.
And he's just a weird personality as well. Remember, he
had a bad I think he had a bad instinct,
got kicked out of Taiwan was playing in either Venezuela,
Puerto Rico as are spring leads.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
Yeah, so Dwight Howard or Jimmy Kimmel.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
I'm gonna go Jimmy Kimmel because anyone who follows you,
and everybody follows you on social media knows this has
been your thing forever and not getting at least a
shout out from Jimmy Kimmel really disappointing. Jimmy Kimmel, your
crew stealing Jay Stews's idea, you're not. Let's get to
(24:26):
our pick of the day.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Okay, sir, the bet is to you, baby, It's time
for the pick of the day.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Tick of the day comes to you from. What do
you think? What do you think with the NBA? Uh,
Cleveland Orlando? Has anybody paid any attention in the series? Crazy? Right?
Like it's going on. It's a it looks like it's
going seven because they're in Orlando tonight. I meanwhile, you
get the Clippers and Dallas Clippers got thirty pieced thirty
(24:55):
piece by Dallas last time at home, but Dallas of
course lost the Clippers. I think this is closer than
the eight point spread. I think it's a Clippers cover.
I don't know if the Clippers can win on the road.
Give me the Clippers plus the eight, Clippers plus the
eight and that's it for the Doug Gottlieb showing the
Motus podcast. Check at the radio show every day three
to five Eastern twel have two Pacific on Fox Sports, Tradey,

Speaker 2 (00:11):
What Up Doug Gottlieb Show and the Bonus Fox Sports

know that basically, and as it plays out on the

you see those videos on social media of McDonald's workers
(05:12):
getting pushed to the limit and then kicking the shy
level when they kick the shit out of some person
that comes over the counter. But they didn't come over
the counter. They didn't leave their seat. You know, like, look,
if a if a fan, and I'm not, I'm not
saying go run our test mouse the palace, don't ever
go into the stands. But in part this this fans
(05:35):
can't ever come onto the court, can't ever touch you.
And if you wanted a guy ejected, it's really simple.
You just do what Lebron has done. I've seen Westbrook
to you just point him. He's gone, He's gone. Here's
the problem with Pat Beverley. Okay, first, I believe it's artificial.
(05:56):
I believe it's in an effort to his career. Is
he's probably got about a year left, right, and by
the way, he's coming off of an incredible game in
game whatever it was four or five, I don't remember what.
But like, you throw a ball at a fan twice,
(06:18):
what are you doing? What the fuck are you doing?
That's actually what Adam Silver needs to do. Hey, come in
s say like, hey how are you? How are you listen?
Fucking we are in a contract negotiation where billions of
(06:39):
fucking dollars, you asshole, They already think you're an entitled
piece of shit. The greatest challenge, okay, to professional sports
over the next twenty five years is getting people into
(07:04):
the stands to watch games. Because if you went to
the Indiana game last night, which was a great atmosphere
and a fucking ass kicking of those joke of a
team called the Bucks an ass kicking, but by the
time you got home, I mean, nobody lives right next
to the arena, might have lived up in Carmel, great suburb.
(07:28):
By the time you got home, you know you missed
hat the Philly game, and you're fucking exhausted. Whereas if
you don't go out, or you're in anywhere else in
the world, like you just sit there and watch both games.
Don't cost you a debt penny, you don't have to
pay for parking, you don't have to get the tickets,
you don't have to worry about people being around you. You
just watch and it's an incredible viewing experience. It's not
(07:49):
the same as being in person, but you know what else,
it doesn't happen you don't get a ball thrown at you.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Doug Gottlieb
Show weekdays at three pm Eastern noon Pacific on Fox
Sports Radio in the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Oh and then after the game, he doesn't want to
talk to a reporter because she hasn't downloaded his podcast.
Fuck you, Pat Pev. Like if you were joking, it
was funny, like, ugh, did you download podcast? You did
show me on your phone? That's funny, Like, whoever download
my podcast? I'll answer that question first, But like, you're
just a fucking dick, and I'll just call it right now, Pat,
(08:25):
I think all of this thing is fake. You are
fucking fake fake. Like, bro, you got twenty thirty forty
to fifty million in the bank. Okay, treat people with
some fucking respect, got it. Understand people yell shit out
of the stands. They shouldn't yell at you. I understand
people are assholes throwing a basketball into his stands where
(08:47):
there's twenty thirty other fans around, Like, dude, they can
you know they can sue your ass right. I just
the whole thing is so fucking out out of whack
with how any reasonable person like what And he didn't
(09:10):
do it once, he did it twice. So look, here's
what Pat Beverly's doing. He's trying to as his career dwindels,
he's trying to create some he wants to be the
new Draymond. Right, everybody hates him when he's like and
and here's the reality to Pat Bev. He's an unbelievable story. Right.
(09:34):
He was at Arkansas, he left early. He shouldn't have.
He got bad advice. He had to go to Ukraine,
go to Kiev and play and baled out and made
himself into a bona fide NBA Player's awesome. He's tougher
than shit, he can make shots, talks a little shit
like in order to play. What people don't understand about
Pat Beverly is in order to make it in the NBA.
(09:56):
What do he and TJ McConnell, who kicked his fucking
ass last night. TJ McConnell kicked your ass and you
couldn't handle it, So then you throw a pissy fit.
And then when somebody yells at you have the stands,
you throw a ball at him twice. But the thing
that Pat Bevan t J McConnell have in common is
at least on the court, they have real toughness. You
(10:17):
can't be six to two and below in the NBA
and not be tougher than a two dollars stake. So
I actually marvel at what he has been able to
do as an NBA player, And like you get towards
the end of a run, you start to think of, Hey,
what's next, what can I do next? And he's got
(10:38):
the pod, and he's got a little bit of love
from TV, and he's bright, he's good with a word,
like he'll be all right on TV. He'll be good
on TV, and like, you can't have all people that
people like. Remember Barkley threw a guy through a plate
glass window. Fuck that shit did happen? Raymond's gonna be
on TV. You don't like Draymond, don't turn on NBA
TV for at NBA games broadcast for the next thirty years,
(11:02):
he'll be on. But that's what this is for Pat Beverley.
This is a way to create concoct an image of
being a bad boy, being a bad boy, because really
he's a fucking clown and something like, you know, remember
he talked shit about Kevin Durant. And then didn't Kevin
(11:23):
Durant drop a fifty piece and elimination game. That's when
Kevin Rant goes, I'm Kevin. I'm fucking Kevin Durant. Remember that. Yeah,
they were talking all that shit, and then Kevin Durant's like, ye,
I'm Kevin Durant and that was that. So I would
suspend him for a year a year, and I would
(11:47):
I would make sure I told all my broadcast partners
you can't put him on TV. That's part of being suspended.
That's what I would do. As for the bucks, I mean,
I feel bad, but I don't feel bad. We told
you on this very same pod when the trade happens, okay,
(12:08):
that basketball is not just like you can't do the well.
Damian Lillard averages thirty points a game and Drew Holiday
averages seventeen points a game, and so we'll load a
little bit in defense, but we'll make it up with
the fifteen points more game that we'll have. That worked
that way. It worked that way. The shit doesn't work together.
(12:33):
And I'll go I'll get into Damian Lillard here. If
you go back and you google, I underrated him, but
I had Damian lild as the eighth best prospect when
he came out in the draft. I've always liked Damian Lillard.
My brother was at Cal at the time, and they
didn't recruit him. They didn't offer him, and they didn't offer.
(12:54):
He played for a team called the Oakland Rebels, and
my brother's like he played the two guard, and he
was we thought he was too small to play it two.
In the Pac twelve, he goes to Weaver and he
plays point and I think he red shirt his first
year there, and he made himself into an unbelievable dynamic
(13:16):
scoring point. Okay, but we've heard all this shit about
Pat Beverly, about Pava. Sorry by Damian Lillard, Damian Little,
Dami Lott. Well, if you saw him with the Olympic team,
he was not at the I don't believe he was
at the level of the other stars. He struggled. He
struggled to play on a team with other people. And look,
(13:36):
being a a radio host, I can tell you that
when you do a solo show for twenty years and
then you work with a co host, that can be challenging.
It's a it's a different way of doing things and
it's harder. And when you've been everything and always had
the ball in your hands and you're going to a
team where there's an MVP, a guy who's been an
(13:59):
NBA Finals MVP and inarguably one of the five best
players in the world. Like it feels like more is more,
but sometimes less is more. And what I think people
are starting to learn about basketball is it's not about
who's the fleet is to foot, it's not about who
scores the most. It really is a beautiful team game.
(14:23):
And I know that people always say that football is
the ultimate team game, and it probably is because he
do need all eleven, I mean all fifty three on
a Sunday, all eighty five on a Saturday, playing together
and on a play, everybody has to perform. But it's
not totally true. But I do think football is the
(14:45):
ultimate team game, but basketball is not far behind. It
takes a team, takes everybody knowing, buying into their role,
and that shit is really, really, really hard. And do
I think the series is different if Yannis plays? Of course,
of course the Bucks likely win. Of Gianni's plays, You're like, no,
(15:07):
come on, dude. A couple of things. Rick Carlisle is
an amazing coach. I've had somebody in the NBA tell
me another coach in the NBA tell me, like, we
know he's better than our head coach, so we just
kind of got to help him plan for it. He's
so fucking good. He's so good. But Pat Beverly is
(15:29):
the dick for what he did. Just let's douchey stuff. Dude,
what are you doing? You can't throw a ball like
this is? This is you're having a bad day. And
whether you're a fry cook or work the front, or
you're a waiter waitress, or you're in any sort of
service industry and unit start a service industry, the customer
(15:53):
is always right, dude. And you threw a ball into
the stands twice? What fuck are you doing? Dude? That's
gonna be a long suspension. But maybe not. Adam Silver
doesn't seem to have the lower intestinal fortitude for that shit. Okay.
And then as far as the other game, I mean, first,
I know Colin wanted to get rid of Joel Embiid
(16:16):
really after last night. If you think Joel Embid's a
problem in Philadelphia, I don't know. I can't really help you.
I just can't he's amazing, equally amazing as Jalen Brnson,
who doesn't have the size, doesn't have the traditional burst
(16:38):
or athleticism, but is a great basketball player. And when
he signed on this very pod, we said, I said
my words that people think they're overpaying for Jalen Brunson,
and I think they're underpaying for Jalen Brunson because what
I know to be true is it's not even as
(17:00):
much about the points and the assists and the rebounds
the defense as well, it's about the fact that the
guy is a force, multiplayer, a culture changer. What he
can do is amazing, amazing, and he's not magic, he's
(17:21):
not Bird, he's not Luca, he's not Joker. But what
he is is like those guys, he lacks the pure
speed and athleticism of like a Jamorant John Moran is
probably his size, not as strong, but a freak athlete.
And take out the Ja Morant injuries, take out the
(17:42):
Ja Morant suspensions, and if you want to know who
you'd rather have, okay, you'd rather have this is the
perfect example Jalen Brunson, because it's about toughness, skill, basketball,
IQ feel and then the reason that I knew he
would work with the Knicks. Is the Knicks they needed
(18:05):
a when people say a culture change, so you bring
in Tibbs. Tibbs does not play a deep bench. Tibbs
is a unique guy. But you need a guy in
the locker room that can lead, not just the coach,
and people want to play with. And so when you're
hearing people say, and I've seen other people tweet out,
you know, Kenny Smith's case Smith saying Jaylen Brunson can't
(18:27):
be your best player to win a championship, I believe
it to be true. Or he can't be your leading scorer.
I believe it to be true. Like the Knicks aren't
winning a championship, They're just not. Now part of it
is you don't have Julius Randall Right. That hurts you
again because he's he's not a lead dog, but he
(18:51):
can go and get you some buckets. And it does
take away on some levels from some of the other
things that he can do. I don't think Jalen Brunson
can win a championship on his own. How they can
give it a finals on his own. I think it's
really hard for anybody to do that. But I specially
think it's hard for Jalen Brunson. But that doesn't mean
that I don't think he's the most valuable player in
(19:14):
the NBA. He brings value, how so if he's not
the best player in the NBA, because it's all the
things you don't see. They play harder, they play more together,
They play tougher than the Knicks I have ever played in.
Tibbs is not easy to play for it. They're all
bought in. It's not just because they're in the playoffs,
you know, and all of that stuff is Jalen Brunson
(19:37):
and then taking over games, winning playoff games twice on
the road in Philadelphia. It's amazing where he goes winning
follows Dallas won more when he was there, Nicks to
winning where when he's here, Nova won two championships, hadn't
won one previously. I understand the first one he was
a bit player in in comparison to all of the
(20:00):
Daniel Chefoo and and and and Ryan arch Diacono and
the others. I get it. But he is a force multiplier.
He is a culture changer. He brings value that you
can't see but you can feel. If you watch the Knicks.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Doug Gottlieb
Show weekdays at three pm Eastern noon Pacific on Fox
Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app. Let's find out who
or what's annoying Jason Stewart and now it's your annoying.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
Hey, Doug. I don't know if you saw this or not,
but Jimmy Kimmel opened up his show on the first
of May with this.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Bit, April is behind us. Today is the first day
of May, and once again, our nation's newscasters were caught
flat footed.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
First, can you believe it? Yeah, norazy, No, I really
can't believe May is here.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
I can't believe it's mail already. You can't believe it's
May first? Already it is May first, and new month.
Can you believe it? I can't believe it's already May.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
So that goes on for about thirty seconds. I guess
credit to Jimmy Kimmel's producers and writers for finding the video,
but they executed my idea. Every month on the first
of the month for the past at least nine years,
I sent out a tweet saying, can you believe it's
already the first of the month? Signed that overly excited
(21:35):
person who is overly amazed that time flies so fast.
And Jimmy Kimmel took that concept and he had the
producers do the legwork and I give him credit, but
he never gave me credit during his monologue. There was
no credit to me for this idea. So he's annoying.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Uh yeah, well, we know that Jimmy and his crew
listen to the show, so the fact that we didn't
get credit, and they also value on social media really
really disappointing. What else they do?
Speaker 4 (22:03):
Yeah, yeah, wow. Lakers remember Dwight Howard. He was the
first overall pick in the draft and he won an MVP.
He took the Orlando Magic to the NBA Finals. He
was like larger than a wife. He was like he
was like the seven foot two guy that had the
like a body of like a six foot guy like
(22:24):
he was. He didn't have that elongated look like Don
chich has and a lot of these seven footers do.
He just he was a He was a man among
children as a player, yes, dominant player. Now he's begging
the Lakers to play for.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Him, passing the phone to the only guy that could
save the Lakers Lakers. Give me here a sign man,
LIMOTELSDD gave me one mojall Oh, come o Jean.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Now, I know this is all tongue in cheek, but
if you followed Dwight Howard at all, he's He's been
constantly begging Genie to have him to put him on
the Lakers all season. That's kind of his thing. And
then you like this really weird thing happened a few
months ago that somehow just went by the boards where
he was outed as at least performing gay acts, and
(23:20):
then nothing ever came of it, like nothing ever came
of it, which was a weird story. Dwight Howard was
always kind of strange and always kind of different. But
I just think it's beneath him to beg any team
for him to play. He's a Hall of Famer, is
he not, Doug.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Dwight Howard's absolutely Hall of Famer. He's reached teo status,
you know where. Believe his body blakes him believe he
could still play in the league, but his game can't.
And he's just a weird personality as well. Remember, he
had a bad I think he had a bad instinct,
got kicked out of Taiwan was playing in either Venezuela,
Puerto Rico as are spring leads.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
Yeah, so Dwight Howard or Jimmy Kimmel.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
I'm gonna go Jimmy Kimmel because anyone who follows you,
and everybody follows you on social media knows this has
been your thing forever and not getting at least a
shout out from Jimmy Kimmel really disappointing. Jimmy Kimmel, your
crew stealing Jay Stews's idea, you're not. Let's get to
(24:26):
our pick of the day.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Okay, sir, the bet is to you, baby, It's time
for the pick of the day.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Tick of the day comes to you from. What do
you think? What do you think with the NBA? Uh,
Cleveland Orlando? Has anybody paid any attention in the series? Crazy? Right?
Like it's going on. It's a it looks like it's
going seven because they're in Orlando tonight. I meanwhile, you
get the Clippers and Dallas Clippers got thirty pieced thirty
(24:55):
piece by Dallas last time at home, but Dallas of
course lost the Clippers. I think this is closer than
the eight point spread. I think it's a Clippers cover.
I don't know if the Clippers can win on the road.
Give me the Clippers plus the eight, Clippers plus the
eight and that's it for the Doug Gottlieb showing the
Motus podcast. Check at the radio show every day three
to five Eastern twel have two Pacific on Fox Sports, Tradey,
the iHeartRadio app. I'm Doug Gotlieb.
