here in these streets.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
It was an amazing trip. You know.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
First I went to my high school and yeah, just
to see the mural that I'm on with the other
dignitaries was amazing.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
And I have a caption under it like your picture.
Then it said I've been covering this league since nineteen
eighty six.
Speaker 2 (03:56):

Speaker 3 (04:06):
And then I went to North Carolina to Greensboro for
theat for the Black Sports Writers Hall of Fame something
you know that I started. This was the first year
and we had three great inductees in our first class.

Speaker 3 (04:36):
And she's in the Baseball Hall of Fame, the only
woman who got as a writer in the Baseball Hall
of Fame. And Mike Wilbond, who everybody knows, of course
party interruption, but he was a columnist for thirty years
at the Washington Post, and I've known all three.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
It was just a great time.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
About one hundred people showed up, a lot of the
students from the school, and I couldn't have been happier
about how it turned out.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
So it was great.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
Yeah, man, congratulations, look good you sent some photos. We

be able to do this fine radio show without them.
Alex is our engine, Shaye is our producer, and for
Rob g still work here.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Yeah, I think, So what week is this? Man? Let
me tell you, is it really all? It's not the
start week four? I believe that because I was out

Speaker 4 (05:31):

Okay we start, Okay, maybe start. So he's got six weeks.

Speaker 3 (05:38):
Weeks off for maternally, Okay, what I kind of want
to hear it. I was just gonna say, is he
gonna come back with another baby.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Do you know what I mean? You got six weeks practice.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
We know the snip snip it works like ninety percent, right,
rob g bet I'd be that five or six percent
that didn't work.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Coming back saying guess what, guys, I'm just saying, all right.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
If he comes back and asks me, what's it like
having three girls, I'll know something.
Speaker 2 (06:06):

Speaker 3 (06:07):
That is that is Steve the Sega uh the birthday boy, Steve.
That's right, thirty nine years old today, Happy birthday to Steve.
He's at the anchor desk. Will keep us updated throughout
the program.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Them never heard of him, never heard of him.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Elizah right here, who's right here with us?
Speaker 3 (06:27):
That's right, Elijah's our social media guru, one of the
best in the business.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
All right, let's go, let's get started. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
The Warriors, they are at home, not a chance to
get into the playoffs. All they had to do was
beat the Clippers. Pizza cake, right, They've been bawling outing no,
But I'm just saying, right after getting Jimmy buckets, oh
my god, they're rolling the Warriors a different team. You
(06:54):
don't want to go into the play in if you
don't have to they're at home, the Clippers on the roll.
They weren't expected to win that game, were they. No
Clippers get it done in overtime. They're in the playoffs,
and instead the Warriors are in the playing But here's
the biggest thing. At the end of the game, how
(07:18):
in the world I'm asking you, Kevin all right, I've
said this forever. People want to crown Steph Curry as
the greatest shooter of all time, and my pushback on
that is that he doesn't make big shots in those
moments and you can't be the greatest shooter.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
And they go, well, you're talking about clutch.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
No, if you're talking about somebody being the greatest shooter,
I'm always giving them the ball, am I Right? Like
there's nobody on the court I would rather give the
ball shooting. If you tell me he's the greatest shooter
of all time, if you tell me Michael Jordan's the
greatest basketball player of all time. And we got five
or six seconds to go and down by three, of
(08:05):
course I'm giving the ball to Steph Curry. Right, He's
made the most threes, he's the greatest three point shooter.
Even I can't argue that the numbers bear it out.
But when you start talking about the greatest shooter of
all time being clutch and making big baskets have to
be in a part of the equation. Come on, we
(08:27):
know that just making meaningless baskets don't make any sense.
And there's Steve Kerr with the clipboard and everything, and
he draws up the play and guess what, it's not
going to Steve.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
It's not going to Steph Curry.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
The players for Buddy Heal who misses the three pointer
and they lose. Right, I'm not surprised Steve Kerr was logical.
He knows the numbers. Don't tell me that, Oh well,
they're gonna double team him and they didn't want to
get the ball. No, No, great players always double team
(09:08):
and always get extra attention. Right defensively, Maybe it's because
Steve Kerr had the numbers in front of him. Steph
Curry career three point field goal, You ready, the last
five seconds of the fourth quarter are over time to
tie or take the lead. Regular season twenty one point
(09:32):
four percent, six for twenty eight postseason one for four
to twenty five percent.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
He doesn't make the big shot.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
It's further proof that he is not nt the greatest
shooter of all time. He's damn good. He's the best
three point shooter. I'll give you that, but the best shooter.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
No. And here's the last part, Kelvin, it's all your okay.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Did Steve Kerr disrespect Steph or did he call it right?
He did not disrespect Steph. He's trying to win. He
got it right, all right.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
A couple couple points here. Number one.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
I think what we saw was a great play design
by Steve Kerr, who also has been a recipient of
the best at something swinging him the ball. Michael Jordan,
the best ever has swung Steve Kerr the ball, and
he's knocked down a couple of big shots in his
career with the Bulls and a couple of big shots
as well with the Spurs. So I think he understands.
(10:43):
To win a game, it always ain't got to be
the best. John Paxson hit a big one with Jordan.
I know we like to think of Jordan making all
the shots. Other people hit big shots. Also, I'll remind
you that there was a time when Scottie Pippen was
a MVP candidate in ninety four ninety three, ninety four,
the year in which Michael Jordan was playing baseball and
(11:04):
Phil Jackson drew up a play to go to Tony
Kuk coach, who had been better at something throughout the season,
and he said, Hey, we're gonna run this to Kuk
coach and Pippen said, hey, man, you know who I am.
Don't do this to me. And he said, cool, Pip,
don't sit down. This is Pippin, six times champion Pippin,
and Pip didn't going to game. Kuk Coach hit the shot.
My point is there have been times where players have
been drawn up for the person who is not the
(11:25):
star of the team, but it makes sense. One of
the greatest things Steph Curry does besides shoot, is he
is the greatest decoy, so much so that they need
to come up with another stat the second assist or
the hockey assist, because when he cuts through a lane,
everybody goes to him. When he comes off a curlver
to three, everybody goes in. And a lot of people
(11:46):
have made money and made shots because of Steph Coole
his whole team for the last ten years, every single
person not named him, including Klay Thompson see.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
See why your argument doesn't holdward.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
I just gave you twenty eight times yet chance to
do what we just talked about.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
So it ain't like, no, I'm not even talking about
him taking a shot right now, Rob, I'm talking about
the PA of the play.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
What I'm saying to you is he's had twenty eight
opportunities to do that. So your idea that he's a
decoy and they go away from him because somebody else
will be open.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Why did he take twenty eight shots in no situations
because you know he's going to shoot and you wanted
to shoot.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
But I'm saying, in this particular play, I'm not mad
at it because it worked. It got Buddy Hill to
look and he just horribly missed it. Belty Hill. And
this is also Buddy Hill, for all his career, is
at like forty percent from three. So you didn't run
to play for Draymond shooting the three but a backpack
on the shoulders. You ran this for Buddy Hill, who
is at more than capable three point shooter, been in
many three point contest one I believe, And so you
(12:46):
drew it for a great guy who got a great
look and just missed it. Now, as far as the shooter.
I've said this a million times. Steph Curry is the
greatest shooter ive ever seen, period, point blank. Right there
next to him, though, is Larry Bird for me.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
But he can.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
Steph can get off shots because of his dribble that
Larry couldn't get off. But Larry could also get off shots,
especially last second shots being six eight six', Nine Michael,
jordan because of how, Athletic Kobe, bryant because athletic lebron because,
athletic how, Big and that is the challenge With Steph.
Curry if there are less than probably five six seven
seconds on the shot clock or the game, clock he's
(13:21):
not the best at that because it takes him a
while to get a. Shot we've seen. Him he's got
a Dribble joba, jibbi run handed back off for. You you
get it back to, him run Off Draymond roff's, creen
dribble jobba, jewel shoot a.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Shot that's just his.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
Game he's not capable of three seconds, left get it to,
him boom boom jack. Pull he's too, short he's not the,
quickest and, again teams prepare for. That so it's he can't.
Go and that's not his, thing BUT i still stand
on he's the greatest shooter we've ever, seen followed by
my Opinion Larry bird when he comes to the greatest.
Shooter But i'm not mad at them drawing the playoff
(13:53):
For Buddy. Hill it actually. Worked if you watch, it
three players hovered Over. Steph buddy gets to curl off
to pick From steph and he got the. Look he
just missed it if he knocked it. Down Steph curry's a.
Genius Steve curry is a. GENIUS i should Say i'm.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Sorry eight, seven seven ninety nine On fox eight seven
seven nine nine six sixty three sixty. Nine there you,

Coach, Yeah Mike, budenholzer who out won a championship with
The bucks when people Told giannis to Leave milwaukee that
they couldn't win, there and he, won got a nice,
deal ten fifty million dollars five year deal with The.
Suns one year they start eighty one and they don't
make the. Playoffs it's easy to blame the. Coach And
(18:05):
i've always said, this coaches should get blame as, well
because when they, win guess. What when he, won what
happened In, milwaukee he got. Credit so when you don't
win and you got the highest payroll in the league
and you got these great players and you, lose they
should get blamed. Too but in this, case it's about
(18:29):
who do you really blame for?
Speaker 2 (18:31):

Good alex is, Out i'm telling Them.

Speaker 3 (18:57):
That rob, Okay, no when you when you look at,
it here's the, thing, right is It Kevin, Durant Devin,
Booker Mike, buenhauser where we just talked about the? Coach
or is it ownership and management those? People AND i
(19:22):
can take a look at, it and you know, WHAT
i think it's ownership and management more to blame who
they go out and get and spend the money for.
Speaker 4 (19:37):
Something About Vin, Durant, no you're saying, nobody no from
from the From.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Washington Bradley, beal of, Course Bradley. Beale, yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
Bad, contract bad, Player three players doing the same. Thing

that or, no, no, no, no it doesn't.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Work it didn't.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Work Devin booker went to the finals a couple of
years before Without. Durant people, thought, well you Had durant.
Whatever And, durant, right we know what kind of player he.
Is we've seen him perform in the. Postseason But, kelvin
this just doesn't.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Work this is.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
Ownership they keep making the wrong. Mistakes Kevin durant's not
the same, PLAYER i got.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
It i'm gonna blame him for. This he actually was
playing great this.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
Year oh he BOUGHT i mean on statistically he played very.
Well my blame is On James, jones who is now
vice president Of Basketball operations and was formerly you, know
tied in with THE gm as. Well and it's. Ownership
they're and they're in the New. Ishaba he's coming in
there Ambitious i'm gonna buy up. EVERYTHING i want to
(20:54):

understand you helped raise a estate company In. Michigan you
did your, thing and you're, ambitious and that's kind of
his whole. Thing he's you, know he was that guy
who never really played With Tom izzoh and he's the
the Row Rod.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Rudy kind of. Guy but you got to learn the.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
Business and just signing anybody just because they can shoot
does not equate to building a good. Team just signing
somebody because they put up twenty something in the game
doesn't mean it's a good.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Thing good.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
Move you got one hundred and fifty million dollars to three,
guys who essentially is one hundred and fifty million dollars
on one guy because it's the same. Guy fifteen million per,

he's got this no trade. Clause you have to have seen.
That and that's Why i'm blaming management in the front
office because again you're putting the same guy.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Together it's not.
Speaker 4 (23:01):
Working you already see, that and then you're bringing a
guy with a no trade clause where you're now don't
have it out so that when you try to Trade
Kevin durant and it, backfires then you gotta Bring Kevin
durant and eat the you, know swallow the, crow eat the,
crow like oops, up.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Sorry come on, Back, sorry we can't trade.
Speaker 4 (23:18):
You and now he's got to be there the whole
sign of the rest of the, Season, like, MAN i
know these fools wanted to get rid of, Me SO
i absolutely blame.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Them you put guys, together and you.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
Can only be who you, are, Right Devin booker, Tried
he's been a great. Teammate he's been a great guy,
vocally and he hasn't said. Anything he, hasn't you, know
talk bad about the, organization talk bad About Kevin durant
And Bradley.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Beal he tried to put it all, together and he's
gotta feel a little.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
Bit hey, man this is the only HOME i, Known
this is my, team and you guys are ruining. This
Rob Devin booker's gotta feel like two three years, AGO
i was in THE nba. Finals what the heck went?
WRONG i was in THE Nba finals thinking we. Come
we got to come right, back, baby bounce. Back win
it this year because YOU Losti. Giannis but that's all.
Right it was our first go at. It now they're
(24:03):
the most disappointing team in THE, nba and they out
here looking Like Dolly, parton if you know WHAT i,
mean little top heavy right. Now you don't have anybody
else on the.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Bench the. Bitch look at the.
Speaker 4 (24:14):
Man when you look at play with just three, people
when you look at this, roster, MAN i, mean my,
goodness this is supposed to compete in The Western. CONFERENCE i,
mean he's got some guys on THIS i didn't even
know what's still live in THE, nba and So i'm
completely disappointed in them. Again and, yes maybe the players
have to take a brunt of this for, sure for
not trying to find a way to make it, work
(24:34):
for not finding a way to, say all, right what
CAN i absolutely do differently to something bring something to this.
Team but you are who you are and you bring
in the same guy to do the same. Thing AND
i have to pay one hundred and fifty million of,
them and that MEANS i can't have anybody else really
on the bench that's of great.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Value and they don't have an. Identity this is what you.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
GET i. Agree it's hard for me to look at
this And kevin the red, booker they did what they,
do you know WHAT i, Mean like they say what they.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Do it's just the team doesn't. Work but what would you?
Speaker 3 (25:05):
DO i, mean if you're now you're in this, situation go,
ahead you didn't fire the. Coach firing the coach is
not going to be. Enough it's not going to be.
Enough it's easy.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
To fire, him and, right and he has he did
a great job and all. That no we got.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
That no one's, saying oh my, GOD i can't believe
that BUD nasa got.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Fired.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
Dude they were awful and they didn't get it. Done
so you, know this is where we. Are but the thing, is.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
What are you doing?
Speaker 3 (25:38):
Here and and uh is It Kevin?
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Durant is? It is? It maybe Not Devin. BOOKER i.
DON'T i.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
Don't Is Devin booker? Here no matter what you know
WHAT i mean or? Do you have to start to
think about what should happen with this, team think of the.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
SONS i. DON'T i don't.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
Know first THING i gotta do Is i'm on the
phone With bradley Be, look, MAN i know you don't
have a trade. CLAUSE i understand no trade clause AND
i understand, that and you might be happy, here but
look what IF i work with? You what IF i
said give me two three? Teams you're, like, hey, MAN
i don't want to. Leave but If i'm gonna, Leave
i'll go, here, here and, here and let me get
on the phone with those two or three teams and
start working out. Something because you're not getting rid Of Devin. Booker,
(26:17):
right that's a guy and can give you twenty five
to thirty a. Night he has been no, issues loved
in the community Like i'm not getting rid Of Devin.
Booker Kevin, DURANT i don't want to get rid. OF
i MEAN i tried, to BUT i mean If i've
stuck with him Or Bradley, bill so be. It if
him Over Bradley, bill but that's Who i'm trying to work.
With come, On, bradley but where you want to?
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Go but if he didn't want to go when that chance,
came now you think he's gonna give.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
It because maybe he thought in the back of his
mind we're better than. This we can turn. AROUND i
got A hall Of famer And Kevin. DURANT i got
a Potential hall Of famer In Devin. Booker, Myself i'm really.
Good we can figure this thing. Out maybe he saw
toxic it, was maybe the locker room was, bad maybe
they didn't really mess with each, other and maybe his.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Wife you, KNOW i.
Speaker 4 (26:56):
Can't hey, man let's just go ahead and move, On,
pops come, on, baby let's just move on. Home let's
just go somewhere. Else BUT i have to explore that
because that's not a. Problem is who wants to Pay
Bradley beial fifty one million dollars fifty million dollars BUT
i have to try to explore, that you know WHAT i,
Mean and that's the first. Thing and after, that, uh
maybe we work out something With Kevin. Durant but they're
(27:18):
stuck in a position where they signed these. Guys and
again that's WHY i put so much on. Them you
brought in a guy who does the, same guy As
Devin booker And Bradley beial less, talented but you brought
him in and you knew he had a no trade.
Speaker 2 (27:29):

That's right, thirty nine years old today, Happy birthday to Steve.
He's at the anchor desk. Will keep us updated throughout
the program.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Them never heard of him, never heard of him.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Elizah right here, who's right here with us?
Speaker 3 (06:27):
That's right, Elijah's our social media guru, one of the
best in the business.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
All right, let's go, let's get started. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
The Warriors, they are at home, not a chance to
get into the playoffs. All they had to do was
beat the Clippers. Pizza cake, right, They've been bawling outing no,
But I'm just saying, right after getting Jimmy buckets, oh
my god, they're rolling the Warriors a different team. You
(06:54):
don't want to go into the play in if you
don't have to they're at home, the Clippers on the roll.
They weren't expected to win that game, were they. No
Clippers get it done in overtime. They're in the playoffs,
and instead the Warriors are in the playing But here's
the biggest thing. At the end of the game, how
(07:18):
in the world I'm asking you, Kevin all right, I've
said this forever. People want to crown Steph Curry as
the greatest shooter of all time, and my pushback on
that is that he doesn't make big shots in those
moments and you can't be the greatest shooter.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
And they go, well, you're talking about clutch.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
No, if you're talking about somebody being the greatest shooter,
I'm always giving them the ball, am I Right? Like
there's nobody on the court I would rather give the
ball shooting. If you tell me he's the greatest shooter
of all time, if you tell me Michael Jordan's the
greatest basketball player of all time. And we got five
or six seconds to go and down by three, of
(08:05):
course I'm giving the ball to Steph Curry. Right, He's
made the most threes, he's the greatest three point shooter.
Even I can't argue that the numbers bear it out.
But when you start talking about the greatest shooter of
all time being clutch and making big baskets have to
be in a part of the equation. Come on, we
(08:27):
know that just making meaningless baskets don't make any sense.
And there's Steve Kerr with the clipboard and everything, and
he draws up the play and guess what, it's not
going to Steve.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
It's not going to Steph Curry.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
The players for Buddy Heal who misses the three pointer
and they lose. Right, I'm not surprised Steve Kerr was logical.
He knows the numbers. Don't tell me that, Oh well,
they're gonna double team him and they didn't want to
get the ball. No, No, great players always double team
(09:08):
and always get extra attention. Right defensively, Maybe it's because
Steve Kerr had the numbers in front of him. Steph
Curry career three point field goal, You ready, the last
five seconds of the fourth quarter are over time to
tie or take the lead. Regular season twenty one point
(09:32):
four percent, six for twenty eight postseason one for four
to twenty five percent.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
He doesn't make the big shot.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
It's further proof that he is not nt the greatest
shooter of all time. He's damn good. He's the best
three point shooter. I'll give you that, but the best shooter.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
No. And here's the last part, Kelvin, it's all your okay.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Did Steve Kerr disrespect Steph or did he call it right?
He did not disrespect Steph. He's trying to win. He
got it right, all right.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
A couple couple points here. Number one.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
I think what we saw was a great play design
by Steve Kerr, who also has been a recipient of
the best at something swinging him the ball. Michael Jordan,
the best ever has swung Steve Kerr the ball, and
he's knocked down a couple of big shots in his
career with the Bulls and a couple of big shots
as well with the Spurs. So I think he understands.
(10:43):
To win a game, it always ain't got to be
the best. John Paxson hit a big one with Jordan.
I know we like to think of Jordan making all
the shots. Other people hit big shots. Also, I'll remind
you that there was a time when Scottie Pippen was
a MVP candidate in ninety four ninety three, ninety four,
the year in which Michael Jordan was playing baseball and
(11:04):
Phil Jackson drew up a play to go to Tony
Kuk coach, who had been better at something throughout the season,
and he said, Hey, we're gonna run this to Kuk
coach and Pippen said, hey, man, you know who I am.
Don't do this to me. And he said, cool, Pip,
don't sit down. This is Pippin, six times champion Pippin,
and Pip didn't going to game. Kuk Coach hit the shot.
My point is there have been times where players have
been drawn up for the person who is not the
(11:25):
star of the team, but it makes sense. One of
the greatest things Steph Curry does besides shoot, is he
is the greatest decoy, so much so that they need
to come up with another stat the second assist or
the hockey assist, because when he cuts through a lane,
everybody goes to him. When he comes off a curlver
to three, everybody goes in. And a lot of people
(11:46):
have made money and made shots because of Steph Coole
his whole team for the last ten years, every single
person not named him, including Klay Thompson see.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
See why your argument doesn't holdward.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
I just gave you twenty eight times yet chance to
do what we just talked about.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
So it ain't like, no, I'm not even talking about
him taking a shot right now, Rob, I'm talking about
the PA of the play.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
What I'm saying to you is he's had twenty eight
opportunities to do that. So your idea that he's a
decoy and they go away from him because somebody else
will be open.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Why did he take twenty eight shots in no situations
because you know he's going to shoot and you wanted
to shoot.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
But I'm saying, in this particular play, I'm not mad
at it because it worked. It got Buddy Hill to
look and he just horribly missed it. Belty Hill. And
this is also Buddy Hill, for all his career, is
at like forty percent from three. So you didn't run
to play for Draymond shooting the three but a backpack
on the shoulders. You ran this for Buddy Hill, who
is at more than capable three point shooter, been in
many three point contest one I believe, And so you
(12:46):
drew it for a great guy who got a great
look and just missed it. Now, as far as the shooter.
I've said this a million times. Steph Curry is the
greatest shooter ive ever seen, period, point blank. Right there
next to him, though, is Larry Bird for me.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
But he can.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
Steph can get off shots because of his dribble that
Larry couldn't get off. But Larry could also get off shots,
especially last second shots being six eight six', Nine Michael,
jordan because of how, Athletic Kobe, bryant because athletic lebron because,
athletic how, Big and that is the challenge With Steph.
Curry if there are less than probably five six seven
seconds on the shot clock or the game, clock he's
(13:21):
not the best at that because it takes him a
while to get a. Shot we've seen. Him he's got
a Dribble joba, jibbi run handed back off for. You you
get it back to, him run Off Draymond roff's, creen
dribble jobba, jewel shoot a.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Shot that's just his.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
Game he's not capable of three seconds, left get it to,
him boom boom jack. Pull he's too, short he's not the,
quickest and, again teams prepare for. That so it's he can't.
Go and that's not his, thing BUT i still stand
on he's the greatest shooter we've ever, seen followed by
my Opinion Larry bird when he comes to the greatest.
Shooter But i'm not mad at them drawing the playoff
(13:53):
For Buddy. Hill it actually. Worked if you watch, it
three players hovered Over. Steph buddy gets to curl off
to pick From steph and he got the. Look he
just missed it if he knocked it. Down Steph curry's a.
Genius Steve curry is a. GENIUS i should Say i'm.
Speaker 3 (14:06):

about a little bit Earlier. Phoenix there's a change at.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
Coach, Yeah Mike, budenholzer who out won a championship with
The bucks when people Told giannis to Leave milwaukee that
they couldn't win, there and he, won got a nice,
deal ten fifty million dollars five year deal with The.
Suns one year they start eighty one and they don't
make the. Playoffs it's easy to blame the. Coach And
(18:05):
i've always said, this coaches should get blame as, well
because when they, win guess. What when he, won what
happened In, milwaukee he got. Credit so when you don't
win and you got the highest payroll in the league
and you got these great players and you, lose they
should get blamed. Too but in this, case it's about
(18:29):
who do you really blame for?
Speaker 2 (18:31):
This is? It excuse? Me oh you know what's? Coming oh,
Good alex is, Out i'm telling Them.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
God and the best part about it is to build Up,
eliza who do you?

Playing? Is it.
Speaker 7 (18:52):
Is an immediate look up to make Sure alex isn't.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
That sorry about?
Speaker 3 (18:57):
That rob, Okay, no when you when you look at,
it here's the, thing, right is It Kevin, Durant Devin,
Booker Mike, buenhauser where we just talked about the? Coach
or is it ownership and management those? People AND i
(19:22):
can take a look at, it and you know, WHAT
i think it's ownership and management more to blame who
they go out and get and spend the money for.
Speaker 4 (19:37):
Something About Vin, Durant, no you're saying, nobody no from
from the From.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Washington Bradley, beal of, Course Bradley. Beale, yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
Bad, contract bad, Player three players doing the same. Thing
you're not surprised that they're not, good are?
Speaker 6 (19:56):
You?
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Nope seriously. NO i didn't like them the issue last, year, right.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
And everybody, thought well it was because of, this so
that or, no, no, no, no it doesn't.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Work it didn't.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Work Devin booker went to the finals a couple of
years before Without. Durant people, thought, well you Had durant.
Whatever And, durant, right we know what kind of player he.
Is we've seen him perform in the. Postseason But, kelvin
this just doesn't.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Work this is.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
Ownership they keep making the wrong. Mistakes Kevin durant's not
the same, PLAYER i got.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
It i'm gonna blame him for. This he actually was
playing great this.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
Year oh he BOUGHT i mean on statistically he played very.
Well my blame is On James, jones who is now
vice president Of Basketball operations and was formerly you, know
tied in with THE gm as. Well and it's. Ownership
they're and they're in the New. Ishaba he's coming in
there Ambitious i'm gonna buy up. EVERYTHING i want to
(20:54):
win every. Year it's, like, well hold, on you got
to learn the league. First you just got. IN i,
understand you helped raise a estate company In. Michigan you
did your, thing and you're, ambitious and that's kind of
his whole. Thing he's you, know he was that guy
who never really played With Tom izzoh and he's the
the Row Rod.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Rudy kind of. Guy but you got to learn the.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
Business and just signing anybody just because they can shoot
does not equate to building a good. Team just signing
somebody because they put up twenty something in the game
doesn't mean it's a good.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Thing good.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
Move you got one hundred and fifty million dollars to three,
guys who essentially is one hundred and fifty million dollars
on one guy because it's the same. Guy fifteen million per,
Player Devin, Booker Bradley, Bil Kevin. Durant but basically you
got one. Guy they all need the ball in their.
Hands they're not great, assistment they're not great. Defenders Kevin
durant had some good years at his. Career Bradley bil
(21:41):
tries And Devin booker tries but you can't just, say,
Hey i'm gonna be this lockdown defender and.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
Rebounder neither none of them.
Speaker 4 (21:47):
Are, again, guys who can you, Say i'm gonna get
you fifteen boards tonight and Or i'm just gonna be
diving the floor hustle, Guy that's not their.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Makeup their makeup Is i'm a bucket.
Speaker 4 (21:56):
GETTER i don't know how to necessarily do much more than,
that Especially Bradley. Beal and you also Signed Bradley bial
knowing he had The Larry bird and you couldn't the trade,
clause so you would sign, him which her jammed Up
Satan Crevin, durant, Right and that's what jammed them up
when they needed to make a.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
Move And Bradley bill sitting there Going, Nope i'm staying.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
Here give me my fifty mil out here in the,
sun And i'm in the valley And i'm enjoying this hot.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
WEATHER i ain't.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
Budget me and my agent worked hard to have a
no trade clause in my deal And i'm gonna exercise.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
It And bill know he's only one of two. Players, Yep,
lebron you can. Buy what in the world Is Bradley
bial doing with a with a no trade. CLAW i,
mean did The Washington wizards win a couple of? RINGS
i missed because he has. One and you have to have.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
Foresight you have to be, saying we're bringing In bradley
bial With Devin booker And Kevin. Ring what if this doesn't,
work what if we need to trade a. Guy, oh
he's got this no trade. Clause you have to have seen.
That and that's Why i'm blaming management in the front
office because again you're putting the same guy.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Together it's not.
Speaker 4 (23:01):
Working you already see, that and then you're bringing a
guy with a no trade clause where you're now don't
have it out so that when you try to Trade
Kevin durant and it, backfires then you gotta Bring Kevin
durant and eat the you, know swallow the, crow eat the,
crow like oops, up.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Sorry come on, Back, sorry we can't trade.
Speaker 4 (23:18):
You and now he's got to be there the whole
sign of the rest of the, Season, like, MAN i
know these fools wanted to get rid of, Me SO
i absolutely blame.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Them you put guys, together and you.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
Can only be who you, are, Right Devin booker, Tried
he's been a great. Teammate he's been a great guy,
vocally and he hasn't said. Anything he, hasn't you, know
talk bad about the, organization talk bad About Kevin durant
And Bradley.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Beal he tried to put it all, together and he's
gotta feel a little.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
Bit hey, man this is the only HOME i, Known
this is my, team and you guys are ruining. This
Rob Devin booker's gotta feel like two three years, AGO
i was in THE nba. Finals what the heck went?
WRONG i was in THE Nba finals thinking we. Come
we got to come right, back, baby bounce. Back win
it this year because YOU Losti. Giannis but that's all.
Right it was our first go at. It now they're
(24:03):
the most disappointing team in THE, nba and they out
here looking Like Dolly, parton if you know WHAT i,
mean little top heavy right. Now you don't have anybody
else on the.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Bench the. Bitch look at the.
Speaker 4 (24:14):
Man when you look at play with just three, people
when you look at this, roster, MAN i, mean my,
goodness this is supposed to compete in The Western. CONFERENCE i,
mean he's got some guys on THIS i didn't even
know what's still live in THE, nba and So i'm
completely disappointed in them. Again and, yes maybe the players
have to take a brunt of this for, sure for
not trying to find a way to make it, work
(24:34):
for not finding a way to, say all, right what
CAN i absolutely do differently to something bring something to this.
Team but you are who you are and you bring
in the same guy to do the same. Thing AND
i have to pay one hundred and fifty million of,
them and that MEANS i can't have anybody else really
on the bench that's of great.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Value and they don't have an. Identity this is what you.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
GET i. Agree it's hard for me to look at
this And kevin the red, booker they did what they,
do you know WHAT i, Mean like they say what they.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Do it's just the team doesn't. Work but what would you?
Speaker 3 (25:05):
DO i, mean if you're now you're in this, situation go,
ahead you didn't fire the. Coach firing the coach is
not going to be. Enough it's not going to be.
Enough it's easy.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
To fire, him and, right and he has he did
a great job and all. That no we got.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
That no one's, saying oh my, GOD i can't believe
that BUD nasa got.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Fired.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
Dude they were awful and they didn't get it. Done
so you, know this is where we. Are but the thing, is.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
What are you doing?
Speaker 3 (25:38):
Here and and uh is It Kevin?
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Durant is? It is? It maybe Not Devin. BOOKER i.
DON'T i.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
Don't Is Devin booker? Here no matter what you know
WHAT i mean or? Do you have to start to
think about what should happen with this, team think of the.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
SONS i. DON'T i don't.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
Know first THING i gotta do Is i'm on the
phone With bradley Be, look, MAN i know you don't
have a trade. CLAUSE i understand no trade clause AND
i understand, that and you might be happy, here but
look what IF i work with? You what IF i
said give me two three? Teams you're, like, hey, MAN
i don't want to. Leave but If i'm gonna, Leave
i'll go, here, here and, here and let me get
on the phone with those two or three teams and
start working out. Something because you're not getting rid Of Devin. Booker,
(26:17):
right that's a guy and can give you twenty five
to thirty a. Night he has been no, issues loved
in the community Like i'm not getting rid Of Devin.
Booker Kevin, DURANT i don't want to get rid. OF
i MEAN i tried, to BUT i mean If i've
stuck with him Or Bradley, bill so be. It if
him Over Bradley, bill but that's Who i'm trying to work.
With come, On, bradley but where you want to?
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Go but if he didn't want to go when that chance,
came now you think he's gonna give.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
It because maybe he thought in the back of his
mind we're better than. This we can turn. AROUND i
got A hall Of famer And Kevin. DURANT i got
a Potential hall Of famer In Devin. Booker, Myself i'm really.
Good we can figure this thing. Out maybe he saw
toxic it, was maybe the locker room was, bad maybe
they didn't really mess with each, other and maybe his.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Wife you, KNOW i.
Speaker 4 (26:56):
Can't hey, man let's just go ahead and move, On,
pops come, on, baby let's just move on. Home let's
just go somewhere. Else BUT i have to explore that
because that's not a. Problem is who wants to Pay
Bradley beial fifty one million dollars fifty million dollars BUT
i have to try to explore, that you know WHAT i,
Mean and that's the first. Thing and after, that, uh
maybe we work out something With Kevin. Durant but they're
(27:18):
stuck in a position where they signed these. Guys and
again that's WHY i put so much on. Them you
brought in a guy who does the, same guy As
Devin booker And Bradley beial less, talented but you brought
him in and you knew he had a no trade.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Clause shame on.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
You eight seven seven ninety nine On fox eight seven
seven nine nine six sixty three sixty.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Nine and where are we on?
Speaker 3 (27:38):
This who's the? Blade maybe we're being too soft on the?
Players is It Kevin durant that's? Possible is It Devin?
Booker Maybe Devin booker is not pulling his weight on
where he should. Be is it ownership? Management you, know
the front office or the? Ownership what is wrong with
The Phoenix suns to start the season eight and one
and to end up out of The, yeah and they
(27:59):

Speaker 5 (28:00):

Speaker 7 (29:27):
Right it was a rollercoaster of emotions for everyone. Watching
i'm guessing most people Wanted rory to. Win it's actually
been eleven years since he won his last, major which
is crazy, exactly so he's been waiting for this a
long time and he just needed The masters in order
to finish his Career Grand slam and become one of the.
Greats and the greats are Actually Ben, Hogan Gary, Player Jack,
(29:49):
Nicholas Tiger, Woods Jean sirezen and then Now. Rory so
it's a very elite group of, players and he's actually
the first one that just needed The masters in order
to complete.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
The Eleven it is a long long.
Speaker 7 (30:02):
Time so you could actually see the amount of relief
on his face after he made.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
It you, Know Tom brady went nine years WITH i
wanted To Super.

Speaker 4 (30:37):
Up To Tom brady just LIKE i gotta say, It no, Man.
Congratulatve that is crazy to think it's big of a,

Uh you know he had some disappointing outings last. Season
you thought he was gonna win a couple of. Majors he.
Doesn't this had to be so. Relieved that's why you
saw him break. DOWN i mean he broke down like.

Fashion it was definitely a storybook especially because it was
a rematch from THE Us open Between bryson because they
were in the same, group So bryson was right behind
him in the beginning of the final. Day obviously he
dropped down to, FIFTH i, believe but it was something
that almost it was like meant to be for, him your,
redemption because he WOULDN'T i don't know if he'd be
the biggest choke in like the. Street there's some big
(31:59):
choke artists in the golf, history but this would have
really put him up there at the top if he
wasn't able to finish, this and the fact that he
was able to do, it you could.
Speaker 4 (32:06):
Just see those amazing. SHOTS i mean he hit it
through the, trees he curved around a. Tree it was
