Hey, I wanted to throw this one at you, Jeff T.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
You know, he's got the podcast and he had said
this about Lebron which got a little controversy around.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
It got people fired up.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
He was on steroids, bro, he had to sit out.
He was on steroids for real, legit, it was on steroids, Bro.
I'm allegedly, but like he had to sit out. But
you'll remember when they told him, like the Plus Sports
all though, now they was like he got everybody they
started chasing testing for ag H and they was like yo,
(00:58):
and he had to sit out, Like he said it.
Beck was hurt and he set out for like three
weeks and he came back. Skinny was just I was
in the league.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
I remember, okay, now, so T people love f TG
rob G. Would you agree, Jeff Tig is one of
the more popular basketball podcast the last two or three years.
He's because he's very We're like a great example Paul George.
You know he said some things that he would never
go there just because he just a he's still in
(01:25):
the league. Be he's a little more politically savvy. He
wouldn't necessarily do something like that. You know, d Wade
has his now we know he wouldn't say a lot
of people wouldn't go that far. Gilbert and Jeff Tigue
are the two kind of guys who they give zero Yes,
those are the two. Paul Pierce a little bit, but
some here is just be coming from hate. Now I
(01:45):
said that to say he backtracked, robb G. What did
Jeff Tig say?
Speaker 5 (01:49):
Oh, immediately the black guess UV's pulled up and he's like,
I got to put a retraction out.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Cut Sports pulled up on him.
Speaker 5 (01:55):
Allegedly. No, he put out on his social media, y'all weird.
I was joking about brawn. He was just that dominant chill.
Speaker 6 (02:03):
No, okay, nope, nope, nope. Hey man, can you do
me a favorite?
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Robb G?
Speaker 6 (02:09):
Can you play that again? Can you play that again?
Play that sound? Again he was on steroids, bro.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
He had to sit out.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
He was on steroids for real. Legit it was on steroids, bro.
I'm allegedly, but like he had to sit out. But
you'll remember when they told him like they for they
was like everybody they started chasing testing for g H
and they was like yo, and he had to sit out,
like he said, his back was her and he set
(02:40):
out for like three weeks and he came back skinny.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Just I was in the league.
Speaker 6 (02:43):
I remember, you know how I know he wasn't in
several ways. But let me let you cook. First of all,
when you go into when you go into that much
specificic city with a time line, Look, there are timeline
(03:07):
markers within this story. Y'all don't remember when they started
testing for HGH and he had to sit out for real.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Allegedly the Paul.
Speaker 6 (03:24):
We all Paul when we know we go shoot man,
let me and and then what happens is when you
try to bring others in. Y'all remember that, you remember that,
Remember when he set out for like three weeks and
then let's say his back was hurting and it came
back all skinny.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
I remember I.
Speaker 6 (03:43):
Was in the league that None of that has a
punchline in it. None of that has a punchline in it.
You're telling what you believe to be a factual story.
And you did it with a guy who's still playing.
And because he's still playing, he is currently the face
(04:05):
of the league, right, I mean, yes, we've been trying
to plant him and have somebody else to pass it.
It just hasn't happened. So you can't say that about
a guy. This isn't like yo, Remember when Lebron played
in the twenty twenty and we're in twenty thirty eight. Yeah,
this is the guy who's still playing, the guy who's
the face of the league, the guy who Adam silver
On won, No drama, no smoke. That's the last thing
I need coming out in some controversy right now, trying
(04:27):
to fix the league.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
And I don't need this. And this is how you
see the power of it. And Jeff Tige rarely does
the backtracking. Jeff Tigue is known for saying what I said,
and I said what I said and has.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Been beloved for that.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
That's how you know it got real for him to
put up man and anybody watched this from you know this.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
He blamed it on us. He blamed us.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Y'all are still a y'all goofy whatever, y'all weird. You
put it on us that you put major major. I
mean you almost went investigative reporter. You didn't put up
he did, hey when you put.
Speaker 6 (05:05):
The Times an id channel level investigating. Now again, if
that's what he felt, and there are people who might
you know, always question stuff like that, but then you
gotta stand on that.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
To me, dude, just stand on it. You can't backtrack
over that and then put it on us. Hey out here,
dry snitching boy. They just just let it all out.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Man.
Speaker 6 (05:26):
Look, this is what I know for a fact. In
this day and age, people will tell on themselves and
throw unders others under the bus for clicks and views.
Oh now that listen, we touch a whole arm off
for a million views, dude. I tell people one of
my favorite phrases that I use, currency is the new
(05:49):
cloud you could offer somebody nowadays. Hey, kid, twenty year old,
you want ten thousand dollars or ten thousand followers, Man,
they gonna take them followers in a heartbeat. We're in
a different ten thousand likes. So you could say a
million dollars or a million files. They might they might
scratch their handlery, they'll do a million followers.

Speaker 1 (07:30):
But d Way had the conversation about Kobe Bryant and
how he thinks his disrespectful and crazy that he's where
they had him ranked.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
They had him ranked at eleventh. Who did that? Which
you want to I'm gonna have to side with weight
on that part.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Now, how high you want to have him or a
low in this case that's debatable.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Is he five? If he six?
Speaker 9 (07:50):
Is he two?
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Is he three?
Speaker 1 (07:51):
But eleven is crazy because you have Steph Curry in
front of him. To me and I'm don't they had
Steph Curry in front of him, am I line? I
think Steth car was directed from and I don't get
any justification for that at all. But here's what d
Wade had to say.
Speaker 10 (08:09):
You want to ask us hoopers who played against Cole
we talking all of us don't talk top three facts
like we all won't talk talk three if you played
against the if you played against Mamba. But from someone's
opinion that's never played against Kobe has never played a
game of basketball at the level that we played at.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Having him at eleven, why am I?
Speaker 10 (08:27):
Why am I up in arms about something like that?
I remember when Kobe was alive, they had rankers when
he played in the league, and they had him low.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
I remember one year Kobe addressed.
Speaker 10 (08:36):
It like who is these idiots? Like why would I
listen to these idiots? And I'm not calling a person
who did as an idiot, but what I'm saying is
when someone does something like that, Kobe was like, this
is idiotic to me.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
This is a very interesting conversation, Ephim, because I don't
necessarily care where you have him or I have. More So,
the broader conversation of this seems to be more than
any other player unless you have some I'm missing a
disconnect between players specifically who played against him, And then
(09:09):
you know the analyst, de pundits or people who write
about it, and where they rank him. And I don't
know if there's any other player that because I think
most consensus agree on Lebron, even former players. Lebron's third,
he's behind Kobe, or maybe he's second, or he's for
right around there. Analysts put Lebron one, two, three, right
around there. Where's Mike? Mike's one or he's two. Most
(09:29):
people have him. Kobe is the one player I think
where analysts throughout the last you know, twelve years of
his career, he the only one one MVP the you know,
he didn't have this, they didn't rank him as top this.
And then you ask the players, and almost universally, they
get a look in their eyes. You start talking about Kobe. Man,
(09:50):
that's the baddest and he might be number one for me.
Oh man, he only behind Mike. Maybe somebody will put
him behind Lebron. But when you ask players about Kobe,
they just kind of gush about him. And I want
to ask you, this is it a lot of it
about the competitive nature, the mythology, the black Mama, the
(10:11):
respect for the grit, because that's one of the knocks
that people have about Lebron is that man, if he
had the mental makeup of Kobe, if he had the
mental makeup of MJ. Man, I don't even know what
Coke with Lebron could be like. And I think the
players love the tenacity, the ferocity, the mental how I'll
walk out there shoot free throws or on the torn Achilles.
(10:34):
And I think the mythology of Kobe, along with playing
against him in an actual skill set, takes him to
another level that maybe those who didn't compete against them
can't appreciate because you weren't on the court and don't
understand how tenacious he was. Maybe there's a comp in
the NFL, like, Man, I'm telling you, I know this person,
this quarterback. There's running back to whoever might not have
been on but you had to be out there against him.
(10:54):
Because there's just seems to be more of a disconnect
between writers and analysts with Kobe players and any other
person I can think of.
Speaker 6 (11:03):
So you always when you look at lists like this,
you gotta look at the source. So this is Bleacher Report, right,
So they did top one hundred players of all time
and had Kobe, Bryant, Eddie Levin and Steph Curry at
nine and so on and so forth.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
That's kind of crazy. So you it's bleacher Report.
Speaker 6 (11:24):
So once again it's a way for people to because
people do these lists all the time. Oh yeah, it's
off season. It's a way for people to click on
and us to talk about it. So now people who
haven't seen it, they're going on on their phones and
they're looking up the bleacher Report Top one hundred NBA
players to see where their favorite players are. Who lands where.
(11:48):
Obviously not saying that they're not a reputable media outlet,
but who's picking What is the criteria based on Kobe Bryant,
(12:10):
As you so eloquently put, it is your favorite player's
favorite player. So I'm going to listen to the guys
like a Vince Carter who played against Lebron, Jordan and Kobe.
(12:30):
I'm going to listen to the guys who first hand
had to compete with them. In every NBA player I've
ever talked to that played against all three of them.
Number one, say, Michael Jordan was you don't even might
(12:57):
walk away, right, Alan Iris, just this Michael Jordan. But
when Kobe Bryant steps on the court, they all say,
we got a problem. He doesn't want to be your friend.
He don't want to hang out with you before the game.
(13:17):
Were not going to eat you, not coming to the house,
because he wants to physically remove your soul from your
body on the basketball court. I'll take that any day
for my money. Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player
to play all right. I got a chance to see
him in all his glory and everything. Kobe Bryant, in
(13:42):
my opinion, is the second greatest basketball player because him
individually stepping on the court can change the way the
whole entire other team feels that power alone to where
you feel before the game even starts that you're at
(14:03):
a disadvantage. It's what makes greatness great.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (14:11):
To that level, if even Lebron James has that effect
on teams.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
That is where it gets interesting to me, because for me,
I'll take Lebron over Kobe. Oh but but I'm not there.
I told you there's three or four people. If you,
however you rank them, I'm not have somebody right now
said no, no, nothing about Kareem was number one. I'm not
gonna argue with you with Kareem. Mike is Mike, and
if Lebron. And now you know a lot of people
have Kobe.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Let me ask you a question.
Speaker 6 (14:37):
Yes, this is where it gets its out of Lebron,
Michael Kobe, who had the least physical attributes Kobe without
a doubt. Okay, so Kobe at his height, and you
know he didn't have a forty eight inch vertical.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
By the way, vertical, I've rewatched the last dance. Everybody's
out of control.
Speaker 6 (15:03):
It's out of control, right, So just so you know,
you got a guy in the conversation who not only
was less physically gifted than the other two, right, he
was shorter than the other two and was able to
(15:26):
himself make himself one of the most dynamic players on
the planet.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
No one in.
Speaker 6 (15:37):
Basketball had more basketball skill than Kobe Bryant, not even
Michael Jordan, no disrespect, And I say it because there
was a slight elevation. Michael Jordan physically was doing things
people had never seen before.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
And by the way, this is why I laugh. People
talk about plumbers haven't done. There's a few pats. He
came in the league doing that magic Johnson. By the way,
people are that plumber. I still haven't seen people do
a magic didn't, of course, not like people. If you
show sixty nine point guard and still pass, you move
faster than.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Everybody on the court, and you can see everything.
Speaker 6 (16:16):
Those are the physical gifts that you've been blessed with.
Kobe Bryant could have been working at a supermarket. Okay,
so see this is where but listen he listen, man, listen, listen.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
You're talking about physical gifts. Lebron is six y nine,
Rob sixty, ROBG. Hold on, now all right? You done?
Because that was crazy, ROBG. This man just told me
Kobe could have been working at sixty You.
Speaker 6 (16:42):
Ain't even seen it. You never saw a six five
sixty six guy at the grocery store like you.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
You do, remember we saw number eight Kobe Afro Kobe
lying through their duncan on everyth I ain't saying he
was the most athletic Kobe, agree with you?
Speaker 6 (16:54):
Athletic? He wasn't Vince T. Mac Lebron. I'll give you that.
He didn't half with Jordan's or Lebron. I don't disagree
with that. Jam All right, let me break down a
couple of things.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
Everything.
Speaker 6 (17:04):
I'm not mad at you. There's no again. Kobe is
Kobe is Kobe Mike might the thing.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Couple of things for me where I take Lebron and
I think you might appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
He was seventeen when he got into the league, ahead
he was. We had the same birthday RP. Coche. One
of the things I like about my player.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
If I'm a known or a GM and i'm drafting,
I'm bringing a guy into the franchise, is I know
sometimes I'm going to bring guys in who aren't as
good as we thought. I'm gonna draft guys or bring
guys in who just get hurt as a part of
the game. But whenever I have you out there, I've
got a shot. And I think one of the understated
attributes about Lebron was that he was so good that
(17:45):
for about a fourteen to fifteen year period, our expectations
were finals for him. Whatever it finals, No a specific
reason why I say finals, because that was the baseline, Like,
you better at least make it the finals, and that
was yeah. And I don't remember anybody Michael Jordan had
no expectation until he finally started winning. Then we're like, okay,
(18:06):
now you should win. Lebron twenty two years old till
about thirty six seven. Every year was a wasted year
or if he even make the final. Oh, he didn't
even make the finals. And to me to carry that
that every single time he touches the basketball and he's
on the team, they better make the finals. Nobody else
really live with that except maybe Magic. You can argue
(18:27):
just that just the way it wasn't for him in
the league exactly. Not Jordan, not Kobe, because when Kobe
had bad teams, you your rashing out was yo, he
got smush, He's got Chris Mann. What are you supposed
to do out there? Lebron has Boobie Gibson. Lebron has
a couple other bad you like, uh, get to the final?
Speaker 6 (18:45):
He got it also, and this is historical, right. You
got to also look at what the Eastern.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
Com Glad you said that he called the police. Hold,
let me let me. I'm glad you. I'm glad you go.
Speaker 6 (18:54):
I just want to give you one little piece of information.
Three of the bottom three playoff teams in the East
were under five hundred.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
Now that's the fact, and it's still to this day.
So go ahead.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
So I'm glad you mentioned that the Dynamics. To me,
that Lebron could win at any franchise. That is insane
to me that you win with the Calves, you go,
you go with the Caves at twenty two, don't win it,
you go go leave to Miami, go to four, come
back to Cleveland, go to four, come to the Lakers,
win one. Like that's just insane to me. And I
(19:27):
goes to what I was previous point. Yeah, I like
guys who followed that. No matter, no, no that, no
matter where you are, my expectation is we're gonna win
sixty games.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
Yep. But he started chasing talent though.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
You gotta you do hold on, realize that hold on
because we've talked about this. When I sit with a
franchise for six, seven, eight years like he did in Cleveland,
and the best y'all give me is Ilgowskis and Larry Hughes.
Speaker 6 (19:52):
Well, how come we don't one want to come play
with Lebron? You're talking about the younger iteration?
Speaker 3 (19:58):
What look? Because wild want am I going to Cleveland?
Speaker 6 (20:01):
If you're good at that point, if you're going to
the finals every year, you gotta be able to say, hey,
let's go get this chip.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
At that point, he is too young, and he's playing
with Cleveland, and now, of course once he becomes lebron
like as far as winning and dominating, now you get
guys who want to play with them, Guys are teaming
up in that whole dynamic. Twelve years over, Well that's
over now he's sixty two. But I'm not mad if
you take a Kobe. I like a guy I feel like,
who can drag organizations, who can do a bit more
(20:35):
or less? Who can the minimal is getting the finals
as my expectations.

Speaker 1 (20:51):
If Salaman for Rob kelvin Washington, Man, we are behind it.
We got to get to our man Olden Polonies right now.
Former NBA center, Fox Sports Radio NBA analysts as well,
Olden poland one on x oh. Now I know if
you were listening, appreciate you joining as always. Did you
hear the conversation?
Speaker 9 (21:06):
No, I did not.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
I'll get straight to it.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
The original point of it was, where is there a
gap between players obviously like yourself who played in the
league and their reverence for Kobe and they have them first,
second or third is right around there. And a lot
of times these polls, these these lists, these writers or
wherever they put Kobe somewhere, you know, seven, eight, nine
through twelve. What's the big disconnect? Players love him, he's
your favorite player's favorite player. What is what is it
(21:31):
about that? What in your opinion? Why we have that disconnect?
Speaker 9 (21:34):
Well, the disconnect guess what's been going on with everything
else in our world is that people everybody has an opinion,
and so it makes it very difficult because no one's
ever come up with the criteria for being great, for
being the goat, for being you know, the best ever,
whatever terminologies you want to use, it's who do I like?
How am I feeling about this guy? And that's it,
(21:55):
because because no one knows it? Is it? Stats? Is it? Rings?
Speaker 7 (22:00):
Is it?
Speaker 9 (22:00):
You know? Longevity? What is it? You know? And so
to me, that's part of it. But with Kobe, it
goes deeper than that, because you know, it's just like
with everything else, you know, stuff that happened, you know,
off the floor, and the fact that you know, he
became who he became based off of what happened with
him in Shaquille, because a lot of people are still
(22:22):
upset about that. But it's like that nothing to do
with him, So guys get blamed for stuff they have
nothing to do with. You know, he's not management, so
he doesn't make a decision. I'm breaking up a team.
We've been watching Boston. They were they're only two years
removed from a championship or a year removed from a championship,
and already they breaking that team apart because of an injury.
(22:43):
So there's so many different components that go into this.
That's why I don't listen to it. But recently I
made a statement because no, I got upset on some
of these players, ex players that are running their mouths.
You know about Kobe and you know, people on social
(23:03):
media were like, well, oh, so we can't talk about people.
When they did, I'm like, no, that's not it, because
you got to listen to totality of the conversation. What
I was saying is this, none of you guys had
the audacity to say anything to that man when he
was alive, especially being his contemporary, and the fact that
like a Tracey McGrady or somebody saying, well, if I
(23:24):
had Shaquille, I would have won championship. You had y'all mean,
so leave me alone with that crap.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
There you go, Okay, I was with you, Oden, then
you just come from from shack to y'all.
Speaker 6 (23:34):
Y'all was nice. Y'all was nice. He ain't shocked. You
don't think Kobe Bryant could have won with y'all?
Speaker 4 (23:40):
Mean?
Speaker 3 (23:40):
Yes, because Kobe greater than agree. That's the point.
Speaker 9 (23:46):
My point.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
You don't think could have won with shaq Maybe he
doesn't Winny didn't.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
I don't know, you don't, Pny didn't. I don't know,
so then we.
Speaker 6 (23:56):
Don't know that if they What I'm saying is I
don't know. What I do know is Obie Bryant one
without Shaquill? He did facts.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
But okay, t mac te Matt can say I felt
I would win with with Jack.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
I don't think everybody can say that.
Speaker 6 (24:10):
Gilbert Areena said the same, and Gilbert got to take
him take chill pill right like.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
I'm like, come on, man, and you're you're right o.
P The fact that the.
Speaker 9 (24:18):
Disrespect, that's what happens if everybody has their uppons and
what they believe and so to me. I try not
to deal with it because it's all stupid. That's like
me saying, you know what, man, I was better than
Will Chamberlain. I can't prove that, so it's like it's
just dumb talk.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Look where do you stand? Where do you rank Kobe?
Speaker 9 (24:45):
Once again, this is my personal opage, and.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
We win and we're gonna listen to it because you
play ye love.
Speaker 9 (24:52):
I love Kobe Dilley. I appreciate Kobe before he did.
But if I'm picking top five, like my top five,
he's not in my top five as far as like
the totality of everything, because I do have criteria, Okay,
I like that meeting those criterias, then you can't be
in my top five. Is he one of my favorite
players of all time? Hell? Yes, like I was. I'll
(25:16):
watch Kobe play every damn day, like I still rewatch
his last game. I just love the man and how
he plays.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
So where you got him? Opie?
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Since we're gonna do the stupid thing that we all
do and Frank Rayers and list players, where you got heven?
Speaker 3 (25:29):
Not in your top five? Where is he?
Speaker 9 (25:31):
He's number six for me? He's right outside of my
top five. Magic Kid his magic birds and they go
hand in hand, and so for me. Then I got
stocked in my top five because again I know what
my criterilias are. I got Will Findler, and I got
Kareem abdul Jabba.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Wait all the polonies, my just I thought I had
heard it all with liz Ethan my hip hop falling
up this Wait, I want to make sure tell you wow, wait, Josh,
I think John Stockton ere is just perked up all
the way in Gonzaga wherever you.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
Wait? What?
Speaker 9 (26:14):
But once again you asked me, I.
Speaker 6 (26:18):
We know it's you, op We want to know why you.
I'm not telling you you're wrong because it's your opinion.
Speaker 9 (26:24):
I might be trying to say, because I have certain
criterias that I use data and all that stuff. So
that's what I use. I use facts, not fiction.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
Okay, I want to real quier quick, make sure I
heard you correctly. John Stockton is in your top five?
Speaker 9 (26:42):
John isn't my personal top five? Me as a person? Yes?
Speaker 3 (26:48):
So John have a record? Who's at the one? Did John?
Speaker 9 (26:51):
He has two records that will never be broken, steals
and assist. He has two records that will never be broken.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
But he didn't break the he didn't.
Speaker 9 (27:01):
Just stuff like that have to be prepared, they have.
Come on, man, you have to look at it in
this totality. See we're talking about you guys are looking
at who had highlights and who did this and who
did No, it's the totality of everybody.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
Thomas, I think.
Speaker 6 (27:18):
I don't think John Stock was better than Isaiah's.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
As good as John was, he couldn't get a chip.
Speaker 9 (27:26):
Yeah, but I'm not gonna argue it.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
That's true. That's true. I mean, I'm gonna arguing when
we hang up.
Speaker 9 (27:31):
That all I'm saying I could Hey, man, I could
have said five other names. It would still be mine.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
It would be its definitely yours.
Speaker 6 (27:41):
I don't know he had me up to John Stock
with you criteria.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
You're right, You're right, we get it all.
Speaker 9 (27:51):
Gonna have different people again, I don't need click bait.
I know what I like.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
Or are y'all trying to say you got Alex and
Robber trying to say us up.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Islause because they said, you're the first people to shut
us up.
Speaker 6 (28:08):
And we'll right leave us feasts. But look, I respect
your opinion because I respect you as a player. Open
you know, that I have nothing but respect for you.
Anybody to play as long as you played and the
time that you played in the NBA, I can't. I mean,
I can argue with you, but I'll always you know,
respect your opinion because you were there, you were part
(28:28):
of it, you saw it, so you knew what guys
were bringing out of the locker room onto the floor
every day here exactly.
Speaker 9 (28:35):
And if I could say one last thing, the greatest
that I have that I've been blessed with is to
revere and respect others for what they've done. You know,
I'm not going to dismiss John Stockton because why.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
No, he's impressible.
Speaker 9 (28:54):
No, because just like the okay, perfect example, I saw
Elvin Hayes last week in Vegas. I had to go
to Elvin hay Nobody talks about Elvin Hayes. What I
said saying was this, thank you for everything you did
for us. And that's what I try to do with everybody,
because you have to expect these men for what they've
(29:15):
done over the years. Everybody, Lebron Kobe, Michael Pippen, Alvin Robinson.
I don't care because we all had to go through
something to get where we are.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
All right, well, olden we are at the time, but
I ain't gonna lie. Brother. That's the first time me
and from ever speechless look at.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
We barely heard. I was like, it was the day
you know that today. I believe it is the day
they said is one of the fastest days on Earth.
I believe it was where it's the fastest. Anyway, it's
the whole thing. I felt like we were the matrix
right there. We both looked at each other and froze up.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
I was like the.
Speaker 9 (29:50):
One yo to say one of the trendy name.
Speaker 6 (29:53):
No, no, I just wanted to I wanted you to
give us what you thought.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
And that's what you did, John style. I can see
the where having dinner and he froze. He's like yeah, baby, yeh.
And John's talked it from all. They appreciate you as always.
Speaker 9 (30:06):
Man.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
See you in a little bit, all right, Olden Polonies,
the day the earth stood still right there
