Rob and Kelvin tell us if there’s any player in the NBA they’d rather build around that Victor Wembanyama, discuss the real reason why Donovan Mitchell went off for 46 points on Wednesday night, and take a trip out to Shekel City for Rob’s nightly bets. Plus, former NBA veteran and FOX Sports Radio NBA analyst Olden Polynice swings by to discuss Wemby’s long-term potential, if we can expect the Los Angeles Lakers to keep rolling when LeBron James returns to the lineup, and much more!

So on Thursday, Rob guh, the Lakers keep rolling and
and you know what this time it was at No,
I did not keep doing it.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
I don't know. I'm just saying, you know, and you
know me, I'm all about No, we went through this yesterday.
We're not doing it again. No, we're not doing it again.
I'm just saying, you want to welcome in.
Speaker 5 (04:39):
All I know is last night, Yes, when Alex rob
G Elijah Mancy put their heads to the pillow last night,
they were wet.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
With tears because they knew how much about that and
this radio show. You got a tissue for me exactly.
I thought it was just their allergies like mine. No
been kicking. Okay, Okay, that's that's what it was.
Speaker 5 (05:09):
Let's welcome in the odd couple who we wouldn't be
able to do this fine radio program without him, Rob
G is our producer, Alex is our engineer. Martin Weiss
is that the anchor Desh. He'll keep us updated throughout
(05:29):
the program of Purple Haze. Little Jimmy Hendricks of.
Speaker 6 (05:33):
Course never heard of him.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
Don't heard of him? And of course yes, I never
heard of Elijah. Yes, Elijah is our social media guru.
Uh and we are ready to roll. Okay, can we
do it? There we go, make sure, Rob G.
Speaker 5 (05:49):
So I'm just saying the Lakers are rolling at the
expense of Wemby.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
Uh. And you know he's my favorite player to sing about.
Everyone to know it was just.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
Twim one more time, Alex.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
There we go. We want to know we do. You're
on YouTube. You see that. You can't miss it. He's
eight foot twelve on YouTube as well. Rob G. He
hates that. But it looks great. I love it. I
love it. It looks great. The look both both No, no, no,
the look. I liked it. Elijah. Elijah's a genius. He
really is.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
Well I know, but John him, So, how can you
be a genius because the graphic just works with the song, right, Alex,
you know that you're into that kind of stuff.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
Rob G.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Now he didn't care all right, whatever, robb G is
already fatigued. We've been in the show for seven eight minutes.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
I know here we go.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
So rob g uh Wenby didn't have a great night,
foul trouble. It's actually back to back nights where he's
been played different defensively. Got fouled out last night, but
struggled in the game before. It's a little different for Wemby,
who's been having a great start to this season.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
I don't know what you need me for.
Speaker 8 (07:05):
I mean you already kind of set up top, set
up on top, and the only thing longer than that
game intro today stop that game with three hours. This
intro was eight and a half minutes. I'd love to
hear that. No, Victor Rembiniama struggled.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
On a celebrity boxing matches.
Speaker 8 (07:19):
That's what I straight game knock his blockall he only
shot five or fourteen from the field. He had five turnovers.
Now here's the big thing you mentioned. He's had two
straight games now, he's been struggling a little bit. First
five games of the season, Wemby averaged thirty fifteen and
five blocks a game.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
He was awesome. They were five and zero. They've lost
their last two.
Speaker 8 (07:37):
In these last two games, fourteen points on fourteen field
goal attempts per game, which is not great, terrible. That's
terrible for a guy nine foot tall, five assists and
eleven turnovers over these last.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
Two He's got more turnovers in the baker.
Speaker 8 (07:51):
And yet Kelvin Washington is not deterred anyway, tell us
why no?
Speaker 1 (07:57):
And it pains me to say this because anybody knows
was just as far as basketball preference over the last
six seven years, my guy was Luca and it still is.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
Luca's incredible. He was incredible. What is he or isn't he?
You said he still lives? What does that mean? He's
still I don't know what regular guy?
Speaker 1 (08:14):
No. One guy, Luca? Luca is that guy still? The
dude's averaging like forty something the game. But when you
start to look at this and if I'm projecting about
you know who, If I'm the Washington franchise and I
want a guy for the next eight ten years, whatever
you want to say, who am I moving forward with?
If there's anybody in the NBA, who would I want?
(08:35):
And even despite these last couple of games, despite how
he looked last night against the Lakers. They filed him out,
struggled with the double team. He even talked about that
team that they're kind of finding a way to get
after him a little bit, get up underneath him being
eight foot eight. It's still wouldn't be and I and
I had to think about why, because Luca not a
great game as far as percent as you nine for
twenty seven, but thirty five triple double should get you
(08:57):
should get twenty seven. Yet he had a bad night
shooting efficiency wise. He missed some handful of free throws.
Even asked him after the game, you know, he says,
free throws. I miss some free throws. And it ended
up being way longer one minute at the end because
the Lakers just didn't want to win. But the thing
for me, the thing that is a separator with Winby
(09:17):
Rob For me, the difference is number one, I ain't
got to motivate Wenby and this is just beyond even
beyond Luca. I don't have to motivate Wenby to want
to be the best. I don't have to motivate Wemby
to want to play defense. I don't have to motivate
Winby to take an off season seriously.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
And I like that. I also like this about Winby.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
The thing about Luca that makes him great is also
the thing that can be his kryptonite, and it reminds
me of Luca. Between Lebron and Alan Iverson, where they
are the centerpiece, they are the gravity of the world,
they are the system everything orbits around them. There's no
other system. We don't run this, we don't run that.
This is how we do it. This is the way,
our flow, our schematics. It is you do you and
(10:01):
we hope we win. And it got Allan and Iverson
to a finals, but didn't do much more after that.
It's been working for Lebron for the most part, got
four rings, but there were times you wish he would
work in a rounds in twenty six years, OK, Daniel,
right there you go. And I wonder if Luca the
hybrid of Lebron and Iverson in that point of he
is a system and will that work for championships.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
What I like about Wmby.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Is that Wemby will be able to be the guy
that dropped thirty forty to night twenty boards whatever, or
he can have his team win and still be successful
if he has eighteen points twenty five rebounds, ten blocks,
He doesn't have to singularly score, And it reminds me
of another big that they had on that team, and
Tim Duncan, where Tim Duncan could be the focal points scoring,
(10:48):
put him down on the block, give you thirty and twenty,
or Tim Duncan could be the best one of four
fifteen points, twenty boards, ten blocks, five assists and just
make key plays. And Wemby reminds me of a better,
at least evolved version of that. And I think for
me moving forward, I want to be able to have
that a guy that can be a defensive player of
the year, a guy that essentially could be a top
five score in this league as well, and also be
(11:10):
a guy that a team wants to play for and
that'll be motivated to play night in night out season season.
And Wenby to me, when I watch the league right now,
there's a handful of amazing players that if you said
this player, I'm not mad at. But for me, it's Wemby.
I think that's the differentiator is that he has a
chance to be the best in a multitude of ways,
where specifically, if I go up against with Luca, if
(11:32):
he's not scoring thirty five, forty. He's not going to
be the most effective and that's the separator for me.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
Yeah, I just think your analysis is premature. And sure
you can look into your crystal ball and you look
at what you see.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
We do, Okay, I'm just saying, but the idea what
we do.
Speaker 5 (11:48):
There's a lot of things in factors there, especially injury wise.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
He's already had the blood clots. What the blood clots.
Speaker 5 (11:55):
He's a big guy, tall guy with the foot and
ankle issues that those wi I'm not telling you, I'm
not wishing. I'm just giving you, like what's built from
the guys who are that size, and he's uh thin
as a rail. We know he what is he a monk?
He was a monk this summer or whatever. So I
(12:15):
know that was a bad TV show, but I think
he was actually a monk and had the monkey.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
Now the monk. It was called monk, like oh the
month the OCD dude, Yeah, yeah, monk or something like that.
But I don't know.
Speaker 5 (12:28):
I mean, there was one stretch when everybody was saying
he was the greatest player ever and then all I
remember the Spurs losing eighteen games in a row, and
I thought to myself, how could you be a generational talent?
Speaker 4 (12:41):
Seriously and ever in the history of your life?
Speaker 5 (12:45):
High school pee wee basketball, Like, there's no way you
should lose eighteen in a row, and that bothered me,
and even in this case here and I'm just a
couple of bad games. But at some point they'll figure
out what they need to do to neutral life. And
I'm not saying they're going to stop him or he
won't be able to score, and he's gonna score fourteen
points every night. But if you think that he's just
(13:08):
gonna run the roost and have the next twenty years
and put up all the points and block every shot,
and nobody else is gonna come around because he's gonna
have to win too, So that's gonna be interesting to me.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
I'm not dealing with a luker thing.
Speaker 5 (13:23):
I just think the rush to want to crown Wemby
before they've even made the playoffs yet, or because the
craziest thing was their team actually got worse his first
year when he got there after they which made no sense.
They actually won less games and had the eighteen game
losing streak with Wmby. Do I think he's a talent absolutely.
(13:45):
Do I think he could be great? Absolutely? Do I
think he's gonna be the all time greatest player ever
played and win the most championship.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
I do not believe that.
Speaker 5 (13:52):
I don't because it takes more than that, and somebody
will figure out how to neutralize him on, slow him
down and make him for it like they did, force
the ball to somebody else, make him give up the basketball,
like he's not gonna just take it out there on
stilts and there are two guys running at him and
(14:13):
he's just gonna try to go through them. That's not
gonna happen, and that they're going to look at this
film and what they've been able to do and figure
out a plan, and then he'll have to adjust there
and be better.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
Do I like Luca? I mean, do I like Wemby?
You know? I like let Wemby.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
I love Wemby right because everyone knows that it's Weinby,
everyone knows it's.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
Whim So then why wouldn't winby the answer?
Speaker 1 (14:39):
You know, looking at it from a standpoint of is
there any Because I know everything you said, I hear you.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
I disagree with a couple of points. One I think
that's for me.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Rob Why I would be and I'd imagine so many
other GMS or something will be so excited about him
is if he is not scoring to night, he can
still be the best player on the floor. The man
is out here passing, dropping dimes. He can block shots.
He changes a million shots, even the ones he can't block.
I mean from the elbow down. Why they lost eighteen
in to row with him on the court.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
Yeah, but he's on I'm saying. I'm just saying because
of what you I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
He was figuring out at first time in America, playing
in a ball in the NBA. Now he's only twenty
one years old, and to me, that's the scary part
is his desire to get better, is hunger to get better.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
He won.
Speaker 5 (15:20):
We talked about guys prodigy's age don't matter. So whenever
I hear that, I'm not buying into it.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
I because he's twenty one in the NBA.
Speaker 5 (15:28):
Ye role, who could go and play at Carnegie Hall.
Nobody goes, well, she's only thirteen. No, she's a prodigy.
And Wemby's a prodigy. And that's why he's playing in
the Carnegie Hall, which is the NBA. And now he's
at this year, he's playing spectacularly and so to me,
he to not to night.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Yeah, anybody has shoot, even Luca. And the win wasn't great. Look,
you know, didn't didn't have a great night.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
That happens.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
But to me, again, his ability to just win in
a multitude of ways, to be I'm gonna be the
best defensive player to here and I have an MVP
candidate possibly in the future for him, he's just that's suitantalizing.
And uh, I just don't see anybody else in the
league like that like that. There are dogs, they're a beast,
but not like that. And I am in the crystal
ball a little bit, you know.
Speaker 5 (16:11):
Like you said, uh ant Man, right, I think I
said he was the guy, right, He's not the guy
the league anymore.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
No, he had we were talking about the potential as
far as star power and had that one where he
is that still still left there.
Speaker 5 (16:22):
He's still think is as bright as it was because
at one point everybody was crowning him.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
He's still up there.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
He's still because he of all the other guys, he's
got that good thing about him.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
He's got that it fact.
Speaker 5 (16:33):
All right eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven, seven, nine, nine,
six sixty three sixty nine. If you had to build
a franchise today, would you take anyone over Victor Wimbinana
you know I like to call him Wimby.
Speaker 4 (16:45):

Speaker 5 (16:46):

Cranky man Man?
Speaker 4 (22:34):
No, that's not true.
Speaker 5 (22:35):
It's funny because you say that, and then everybody says, oh,
you love Lamar, all you doing? You always take up
for Lamar, You always take up for Aaron Rodgers, you
always take up for Aaron Judge.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
So you're saying that nobody impresses me.
Speaker 5 (22:49):
But then everybody says I'm drinking their bath water?

other day?

Live all right, marn, thank you man.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
It's the old couple, The old couple, the couple you
get ready to say Olden Polonies on a TV things
on Thursday and campaigns where they can sneak in during
the holiday hustle. The bus will leave can help you
forget the pain and make happy memories, it said, which
is one piel A leave provides up to twelve hours
of body paying relief so that you can keep it moving.
Use as directed. Lebronco used to leave right now. I mean,
(24:24):
I don't know if that helps with psychotica or not,
but joining us now Olden Polonies Friend of the show
for my NBA VT, Fox Sports Radio NBA analysts Olden
Polonies one on X old and what's up man?
Speaker 4 (24:33):
What's happening?
Speaker 7 (24:35):
What's up? Fellas?
Speaker 1 (24:36):
We're doing great, doing good? Did you hear that question?
We were comment We were having a segment started with
I just.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
Said, what did they call you when you were young?
Instead of you know that one? I said, yeah, they
called for dinner.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Okay, there you go go ahead, Rob.
Speaker 4 (24:52):
I'll just say, well ahead, that's your question.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
YEA, all in on Wimby, Wimby or the field right now,
if I'm saying olden poly, you got a new team,
your general manager taking the field, and you got you know,
decade or so, who you are you taking anyone over?
Speaker 4 (25:07):
Wimby? Is it him? Is it Luca? Is it May?
I don't know of Giannis or whoever may be.
Speaker 7 (25:12):
The first couple of games, you know, everybody ran out
there into the into traffic. Oh my god, he's gonna
be the greatest ever. And you know, my my favorite
word if if if, and so you know, I'm like,
come on, man, the season just started. Then all of
a sudden, teams started using that tricky double team. Oh god,
there you so and they're using a smaller defender. And
(25:34):
there's a purpose of that because when you have smaller
guys around your legs, it makes you very, very uncomfortable.
And so that's smart by those teams who start incorporating that.
And you know, guys are gonna start doing it, you know,
similar to what Okay see did. What I'm jokis with
care and so I'm gonna take the field only because.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
He's settling back down and I said that he's not.
Speaker 7 (25:59):
A great playoffs gonna be great. But I think because
of the fact that it's twenty nine other teams and
the AMBA is a copycat league. Something works, We're all
gonna use it.
Speaker 5 (26:13):
The only thing he got going from is he's got
the coolest song in the NBA.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Everyone knows it's whim. I've never won to the older days?
Is there old and loves that? And you know the
group that made.
Speaker 5 (26:28):
That song, the association is so works older.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
I hope that he becomes a month for real, And like,
if there's a way, don't they change names or something.
I hope he changed his name on YOUNA know that
something else.
Speaker 4 (26:41):
Everyone knows it's Webb all right.
Speaker 5 (26:42):
Hey, speaking of the Spurs lost to the Lakers last night,
the Lakers are off to a good start without Lebron James.
There's no way he comes back in and says, Hey,
everything's rolling and I'm just gonna kind of sneak in
and do whatever I need to do. Things will change
once you get there, won't they.
Speaker 7 (27:03):
Of course it will, because his aura takes over, for
lack of a better word, his narcissism takes over. And
so to me, that's been the problem for Lebron. It's
like he's had great teammates, but he's such a big presence.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
You know, and especially since he's been.
Speaker 7 (27:22):
With the Lakers, it's been hard for those guys. We've
always said this in the past. When he's out of games,
guys relax and they just play. I mean, you've seen
what Austin Reeves just did recently, the young kid Smith,
what DeAndre Aden's been doing since Lebron's not on the court,
and Hot Chamorro, all those guys. Everybody's playing really well.
So to me, I'm not saying do not use Lebron.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
But I think he at some point in.
Speaker 7 (27:48):
Time, Lebron James needs to say, Okay, you know what
I've done enough, you know, let me just settle back
into a role that's conducive to winning.
Speaker 5 (28:00):
I agree it should be about at this point for
Lebron anyway, it ain't about stats or numbers. He's trying
to win it one more championship, right, He's on his
last legs.
Speaker 7 (28:10):
Yeah, and you know, I don't know if he wants that.
I think the stats mean more to him than the championships.
Speaker 4 (28:15):
You know what. It reminded me of like Jerry Jones.
Speaker 5 (28:18):
Jerry Jones wants to win only because you know, with
the moves that he makes. You know, otherwise he would
have given up the range years ago to try to
get a football man in there to run his team.
Speaker 7 (28:32):
No, I don't. I'm not buying that one. Jerry Jones
is the owner of the team, where as Lebron is
a play.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
Jerry, Jerry's the general.
Speaker 5 (28:41):
I'm just on my older They haven't gone to an
NFC Championship game in thirty five years and he.
Speaker 4 (28:48):
No, but I'm saying he refuses to give.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
Up power somebody, so they suck.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
Well, you think Jerry helps you? I agree, I agree
with you on that ribe.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
Unfortunately, All Star guests for me, NBA ven, Fox Sports Radio,
NBA analysts. Hey, olden man, you've been in You've been
in locker rooms, you've been on teams. Help me understand
what's going on with Jah Right now, they get a
new coach as last year they let their other coach go,
and they just have not seen us to be on
the same page.
Speaker 4 (29:16):
He gets suspended because.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Of you know, kind of hit, the confrontation he has
with the coach and then the way he addressed it
with the media.
Speaker 4 (29:21):
And then he says he's he has no he's no joy.
Right now, they asked her, you have joy.
Speaker 5 (29:25):
Young guy making forty million dollars playing basketball has no.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
Because they asked him that about that last time he
was getting in trouble. So what do you make of
the situation happened with Memphis? And then what would you
either say to him if you were his coach or
his GM or maybe just even his big homie.
Speaker 7 (29:40):
Well, the funny thing about is this, you know, I
think on one of the shows that I spoke on
a while back, when Job was doing the whole gun thing,
I kind.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
Of blamed his dad because I'm like, you're sitting there at.
Speaker 7 (29:53):
Half court and you're allowing this to have with your son,
who's a star, you know, who everybody's trying to put
backing into, and yet you allow him to basically derail
a career. With that being said, I believe that it's
it's over in Memphis because when they say the coach
(30:13):
has lost the locker room, as they did with Taylor Jenkins,
it's the coach is having problems with the star player.
They don't want to say it that way. You say
he's lost the locker room, because that is the locker room.
The star guy kind of controls everything and this new
coach who I don't even know where he came from.
(30:34):
You know, they give him the reins with a guy
who's an All star, got his own shoe and everything else.
Now you're trying to create your identity as a coach.
But he's already setting this with He's already gotten rid
of one coach and so to me, it's a done deal.
Speaker 4 (30:50):
It's over with.
Speaker 7 (30:50):
They just gonna have to figure out what's the best
cost of action moving forward as far as moving John Morant.
But it's not gonna be in Memphis anymore. In my
personal opinion.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Yeah, I think it's around. I don't think you can
bounce back from this, just from the way it's been.
It's been a couple of two three seasons of this
just getting into it, with coaches obviously being suspended from
the league. Now with the team, it just feels like
a fresh start is probably gonna best for him and
the team, the organization most definitely.
Speaker 7 (31:16):
Yeah, but John Moran's killing his brand also, you know,
because now teams are gonna be like, well, do we
really want this headache? And if you send him somewhere,
it has to be with a strong coach.
Speaker 5 (31:26):
Right and any general manager or anybody brings him in
is putting their own job on the line, you know
what I mean, if it comes in and it's a disaster.
Speaker 4 (31:34):
So you got to be really really like, we're.
Speaker 5 (31:36):
Down and out. We're Charlotte and we we have they're
saying the throw the Kings. Yeah, the Kings and the Timberwolves.
Those are the two teams right now that they're saying, I.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
Could see him with the Kings.
Speaker 7 (31:47):
I could definitely see him with the Kings.
Speaker 4 (31:49):
Yeah, that's NBA for any of that.
Speaker 7 (31:52):
Because Doug Christie will is even though he's not a
winning coach, only because he played. And I think there's
a respect level with Doug Christy. I think that could work.
Speaker 5 (32:04):
We buss Doug Christie's wife is the assistant coach, so she's.
Speaker 4 (32:13):
Neither them.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
You're stupid, bro, all right, thank you man. We appreciate you,
old of the nose. When I'm talking to we all know.

best bet. I'm taking Rob G's Raiders plus the nine points.
Speaker 4 (35:07):
Is Rich Cannon coming back?
Speaker 5 (35:10):
No, because Bo Nicks is gonna trip over Pete Carroll's

when you when you know what I got it?
Speaker 4 (36:13):
Yeah? Yeah, I was there. I had a champagne a
shamp Pizzolo toast.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
What you remember that shampo uh shamp piple. Yeah, we
had a little champ lobby. Me shot to our boy
Darren Haynes. No scrim It was about Martin was there.
It was about I think like another one hundred and
twenty seven for your mentees. Wasn't that many?
Speaker 4 (36:34):
Man?
Speaker 1 (36:34):
It took two hours just to go around the name
you name them all? I could remember you you remember that.
I was shut all right now for time for Tyreck
play today.
Speaker 2 (36:43):
At the other end, Mitchell of the lane basing scores,
it's all going for tam in the night.
Speaker 4 (36:48):
He's got forty.
Speaker 1 (36:49):
Two Donovan Mitchell, forty two. I think he ended with
forty six. There that's your Tyreck Player of the Day,
brought to you by Tyreck. For over forty years, Tyrek's
been helping customers find the right tires for how, what
and where they drive shit fast and free back by

(37:12):
Donovan Mitchell, they said, why he was balling the night?
Why'd you play so well, here's why.
Speaker 9 (37:15):
This kid pissed me off today. I was playing two K.
He's just coming washed up. He come me a bunch
of things. He said he ain't seen a highlight for
me in a minute. And I just told him, all right,
we'll see. He said, tell me to go to sleep.
He was going in. So this game was for that,
for that kid or grown man whoever.
Speaker 4 (37:29):
That was blank them kids or that grown man whoever
that was.
Speaker 1 (37:34):
Really, that's some twenty twenty five motivation, Rob, You don't
get down with that.
Speaker 4 (37:38):
Two K motivated him to drop a forty something piece.
Speaker 5 (37:40):
That he makes forty million dollars a year, and the
Cavs just need to win a game because it's funny.
Speaker 4 (37:45):
Prior to that, they still were fake.
Speaker 5 (37:47):
Remember I was telling you about how they were favored
by I don't know, fourteen and a half like a
big spread, and they actually covered it.
Speaker 4 (37:55):
So there was something going in anyway.
Speaker 5 (37:56):
But if that that's what motivates you, makes you feel
good that somebody who he doesn't even know who is
behind you don't or exactly like like you don't even
know that that motivated you.
Speaker 4 (38:07):
Somebody who you don't even know motivated look at me.
Speaker 1 (38:10):
I ain't buying it. And I'm not talking about Donovan.
I'm talking about you, Michael Jordan over here making up stuff.
Speaker 4 (38:15):
Hey, how you doing? What's your name? A man with
some man? Rod Parker.
Speaker 1 (38:17):
I'm happy to play against you. Yet what you say
about my mama? Nah, I just said my name is
rob I'm just introducing myself. Okay, okay, that's what you
said about my mom. You know whatever it takes to get.
Speaker 4 (38:28):
Motivated Donovan Mitchell and Michael Jordan. Okay, No, we're talking
about the motivation.
Speaker 1 (38:33):
I'm not ignore I'm just using an example of a
person who finds some motivation. No, what's funny about that
is to me more than that, because that's how you know,
if that's what he got. But what somebody asked me
a question, if he had nine points, would you tell
that story about how the Absolutely no, he will wait
till the next time he had a forty piece. Then
he would say I was motivated two k this kid
(38:53):
or this man. But what is that about, rob Ger?
You play video games online at all? Did you ever
when it first? Kind of No, now you're too good.
Rob G was into that. He was into the women
and babies and all that, right, rob G, that was.

I don't know. I'm just saying, you know, and you
know me, I'm all about No, we went through this yesterday.
We're not doing it again. No, we're not doing it again.
I'm just saying, you want to welcome in.
Speaker 5 (04:39):
All I know is last night, Yes, when Alex rob
G Elijah Mancy put their heads to the pillow last night,
they were wet.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
With tears because they knew how much about that and
this radio show. You got a tissue for me exactly.
I thought it was just their allergies like mine. No
been kicking. Okay, Okay, that's that's what it was.
Speaker 5 (05:09):
Let's welcome in the odd couple who we wouldn't be
able to do this fine radio program without him, Rob
G is our producer, Alex is our engineer. Martin Weiss
is that the anchor Desh. He'll keep us updated throughout
(05:29):
the program of Purple Haze. Little Jimmy Hendricks of.
Speaker 6 (05:33):
Course never heard of him.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
Don't heard of him? And of course yes, I never
heard of Elijah. Yes, Elijah is our social media guru.
Uh and we are ready to roll. Okay, can we
do it? There we go, make sure, Rob G.
Speaker 5 (05:49):
So I'm just saying the Lakers are rolling at the
expense of Wemby.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
Uh. And you know he's my favorite player to sing about.
Everyone to know it was just.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
Twim one more time, Alex.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
There we go. We want to know we do. You're
on YouTube. You see that. You can't miss it. He's
eight foot twelve on YouTube as well. Rob G. He
hates that. But it looks great. I love it. I
love it. It looks great. The look both both No, no, no,
the look. I liked it. Elijah. Elijah's a genius. He
really is.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
Well I know, but John him, So, how can you
be a genius because the graphic just works with the song, right, Alex,
you know that you're into that kind of stuff.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
Rob G.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Now he didn't care all right, whatever, robb G is
already fatigued. We've been in the show for seven eight minutes.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
I know here we go.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
So rob g uh Wenby didn't have a great night,
foul trouble. It's actually back to back nights where he's
been played different defensively. Got fouled out last night, but
struggled in the game before. It's a little different for Wemby,
who's been having a great start to this season.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
I don't know what you need me for.
Speaker 8 (07:05):
I mean you already kind of set up top, set
up on top, and the only thing longer than that
game intro today stop that game with three hours. This
intro was eight and a half minutes. I'd love to
hear that. No, Victor Rembiniama struggled.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
On a celebrity boxing matches.
Speaker 8 (07:19):
That's what I straight game knock his blockall he only
shot five or fourteen from the field. He had five turnovers.
Now here's the big thing you mentioned. He's had two
straight games now, he's been struggling a little bit. First
five games of the season, Wemby averaged thirty fifteen and
five blocks a game.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
He was awesome. They were five and zero. They've lost
their last two.
Speaker 8 (07:37):
In these last two games, fourteen points on fourteen field
goal attempts per game, which is not great, terrible. That's
terrible for a guy nine foot tall, five assists and
eleven turnovers over these last.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
Two He's got more turnovers in the baker.
Speaker 8 (07:51):
And yet Kelvin Washington is not deterred anyway, tell us
why no?
Speaker 1 (07:57):
And it pains me to say this because anybody knows
was just as far as basketball preference over the last
six seven years, my guy was Luca and it still is.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
Luca's incredible. He was incredible. What is he or isn't he?
You said he still lives? What does that mean? He's
still I don't know what regular guy?
Speaker 1 (08:14):
No. One guy, Luca? Luca is that guy still? The
dude's averaging like forty something the game. But when you
start to look at this and if I'm projecting about
you know who, If I'm the Washington franchise and I
want a guy for the next eight ten years, whatever
you want to say, who am I moving forward with?
If there's anybody in the NBA, who would I want?
(08:35):
And even despite these last couple of games, despite how
he looked last night against the Lakers. They filed him out,
struggled with the double team. He even talked about that
team that they're kind of finding a way to get
after him a little bit, get up underneath him being
eight foot eight. It's still wouldn't be and I and
I had to think about why, because Luca not a
great game as far as percent as you nine for
twenty seven, but thirty five triple double should get you
(08:57):
should get twenty seven. Yet he had a bad night
shooting efficiency wise. He missed some handful of free throws.
Even asked him after the game, you know, he says,
free throws. I miss some free throws. And it ended
up being way longer one minute at the end because
the Lakers just didn't want to win. But the thing
for me, the thing that is a separator with Winby
(09:17):
Rob For me, the difference is number one, I ain't
got to motivate Wenby and this is just beyond even
beyond Luca. I don't have to motivate Wenby to want
to be the best. I don't have to motivate Wemby
to want to play defense. I don't have to motivate
Winby to take an off season seriously.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
And I like that. I also like this about Winby.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
The thing about Luca that makes him great is also
the thing that can be his kryptonite, and it reminds
me of Luca. Between Lebron and Alan Iverson, where they
are the centerpiece, they are the gravity of the world,
they are the system everything orbits around them. There's no
other system. We don't run this, we don't run that.
This is how we do it. This is the way,
our flow, our schematics. It is you do you and
(10:01):
we hope we win. And it got Allan and Iverson
to a finals, but didn't do much more after that.
It's been working for Lebron for the most part, got
four rings, but there were times you wish he would
work in a rounds in twenty six years, OK, Daniel,
right there you go. And I wonder if Luca the
hybrid of Lebron and Iverson in that point of he
is a system and will that work for championships.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
What I like about Wmby.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Is that Wemby will be able to be the guy
that dropped thirty forty to night twenty boards whatever, or
he can have his team win and still be successful
if he has eighteen points twenty five rebounds, ten blocks,
He doesn't have to singularly score, And it reminds me
of another big that they had on that team, and
Tim Duncan, where Tim Duncan could be the focal points scoring,
(10:48):
put him down on the block, give you thirty and twenty,
or Tim Duncan could be the best one of four
fifteen points, twenty boards, ten blocks, five assists and just
make key plays. And Wemby reminds me of a better,
at least evolved version of that. And I think for
me moving forward, I want to be able to have
that a guy that can be a defensive player of
the year, a guy that essentially could be a top
five score in this league as well, and also be
(11:10):
a guy that a team wants to play for and
that'll be motivated to play night in night out season season.
And Wenby to me, when I watch the league right now,
there's a handful of amazing players that if you said
this player, I'm not mad at. But for me, it's Wemby.
I think that's the differentiator is that he has a
chance to be the best in a multitude of ways,
where specifically, if I go up against with Luca, if
(11:32):
he's not scoring thirty five, forty. He's not going to
be the most effective and that's the separator for me.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
Yeah, I just think your analysis is premature. And sure
you can look into your crystal ball and you look
at what you see.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
We do, Okay, I'm just saying, but the idea what
we do.
Speaker 5 (11:48):
There's a lot of things in factors there, especially injury wise.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
He's already had the blood clots. What the blood clots.
Speaker 5 (11:55):
He's a big guy, tall guy with the foot and
ankle issues that those wi I'm not telling you, I'm
not wishing. I'm just giving you, like what's built from
the guys who are that size, and he's uh thin
as a rail. We know he what is he a monk?
He was a monk this summer or whatever. So I
(12:15):
know that was a bad TV show, but I think
he was actually a monk and had the monkey.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
Now the monk. It was called monk, like oh the
month the OCD dude, Yeah, yeah, monk or something like that.
But I don't know.
Speaker 5 (12:28):
I mean, there was one stretch when everybody was saying
he was the greatest player ever and then all I
remember the Spurs losing eighteen games in a row, and
I thought to myself, how could you be a generational talent?
Speaker 4 (12:41):
Seriously and ever in the history of your life?
Speaker 5 (12:45):
High school pee wee basketball, Like, there's no way you
should lose eighteen in a row, and that bothered me,
and even in this case here and I'm just a
couple of bad games. But at some point they'll figure
out what they need to do to neutral life. And
I'm not saying they're going to stop him or he
won't be able to score, and he's gonna score fourteen
points every night. But if you think that he's just
(13:08):
gonna run the roost and have the next twenty years
and put up all the points and block every shot,
and nobody else is gonna come around because he's gonna
have to win too, So that's gonna be interesting to me.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
I'm not dealing with a luker thing.
Speaker 5 (13:23):
I just think the rush to want to crown Wemby
before they've even made the playoffs yet, or because the
craziest thing was their team actually got worse his first
year when he got there after they which made no sense.
They actually won less games and had the eighteen game
losing streak with Wmby. Do I think he's a talent absolutely.
(13:45):
Do I think he could be great? Absolutely? Do I
think he's gonna be the all time greatest player ever
played and win the most championship.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
I do not believe that.
Speaker 5 (13:52):
I don't because it takes more than that, and somebody
will figure out how to neutralize him on, slow him
down and make him for it like they did, force
the ball to somebody else, make him give up the basketball,
like he's not gonna just take it out there on
stilts and there are two guys running at him and
(14:13):
he's just gonna try to go through them. That's not
gonna happen, and that they're going to look at this
film and what they've been able to do and figure
out a plan, and then he'll have to adjust there
and be better.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
Do I like Luca? I mean, do I like Wemby?
You know? I like let Wemby.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
I love Wemby right because everyone knows that it's Weinby,
everyone knows it's.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
Whim So then why wouldn't winby the answer?
Speaker 1 (14:39):
You know, looking at it from a standpoint of is
there any Because I know everything you said, I hear you.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
I disagree with a couple of points. One I think
that's for me.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Rob Why I would be and I'd imagine so many
other GMS or something will be so excited about him
is if he is not scoring to night, he can
still be the best player on the floor. The man
is out here passing, dropping dimes. He can block shots.
He changes a million shots, even the ones he can't block.
I mean from the elbow down. Why they lost eighteen
in to row with him on the court.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
Yeah, but he's on I'm saying. I'm just saying because
of what you I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
He was figuring out at first time in America, playing
in a ball in the NBA. Now he's only twenty
one years old, and to me, that's the scary part
is his desire to get better, is hunger to get better.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
He won.
Speaker 5 (15:20):
We talked about guys prodigy's age don't matter. So whenever
I hear that, I'm not buying into it.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
I because he's twenty one in the NBA.
Speaker 5 (15:28):
Ye role, who could go and play at Carnegie Hall.
Nobody goes, well, she's only thirteen. No, she's a prodigy.
And Wemby's a prodigy. And that's why he's playing in
the Carnegie Hall, which is the NBA. And now he's
at this year, he's playing spectacularly and so to me,
he to not to night.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Yeah, anybody has shoot, even Luca. And the win wasn't great. Look,
you know, didn't didn't have a great night.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
That happens.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
But to me, again, his ability to just win in
a multitude of ways, to be I'm gonna be the
best defensive player to here and I have an MVP
candidate possibly in the future for him, he's just that's suitantalizing.
And uh, I just don't see anybody else in the
league like that like that. There are dogs, they're a beast,
but not like that. And I am in the crystal
ball a little bit, you know.
Speaker 5 (16:11):
Like you said, uh ant Man, right, I think I
said he was the guy, right, He's not the guy
the league anymore.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
No, he had we were talking about the potential as
far as star power and had that one where he
is that still still left there.
Speaker 5 (16:22):
He's still think is as bright as it was because
at one point everybody was crowning him.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
He's still up there.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
He's still because he of all the other guys, he's
got that good thing about him.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
He's got that it fact.
Speaker 5 (16:33):
All right eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven, seven, nine, nine,
six sixty three sixty nine. If you had to build

(24:24):
I don't know if that helps with psychotica or not,
but joining us now Olden Polonies Friend of the show
for my NBA VT, Fox Sports Radio NBA analysts Olden
Polonies one on X old and what's up man?
Speaker 4 (24:33):
What's happening?
Speaker 7 (24:35):
What's up? Fellas?
Speaker 1 (24:36):
We're doing great, doing good? Did you hear that question?
We were comment We were having a segment started with
I just.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
Said, what did they call you when you were young?
Instead of you know that one? I said, yeah, they
called for dinner.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Okay, there you go go ahead, Rob.
Speaker 4 (24:52):
I'll just say, well ahead, that's your question.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
YEA, all in on Wimby, Wimby or the field right now,
if I'm saying olden poly, you got a new team,
your general manager taking the field, and you got you know,
decade or so, who you are you taking anyone over?
Speaker 4 (25:07):
Wimby? Is it him? Is it Luca? Is it May?
I don't know of Giannis or whoever may be.
Speaker 7 (25:12):
The first couple of games, you know, everybody ran out
there into the into traffic. Oh my god, he's gonna
be the greatest ever. And you know, my my favorite
word if if if, and so you know, I'm like,
come on, man, the season just started. Then all of
a sudden, teams started using that tricky double team. Oh god,
there you so and they're using a smaller defender. And
(25:34):
there's a purpose of that because when you have smaller
guys around your legs, it makes you very, very uncomfortable.
And so that's smart by those teams who start incorporating that.
And you know, guys are gonna start doing it, you know,
similar to what Okay see did. What I'm jokis with
care and so I'm gonna take the field only because.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
He's settling back down and I said that he's not.
Speaker 7 (25:59):
A great playoffs gonna be great. But I think because
of the fact that it's twenty nine other teams and
the AMBA is a copycat league. Something works, We're all
gonna use it.
Speaker 5 (26:13):
The only thing he got going from is he's got
the coolest song in the NBA.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Everyone knows it's whim. I've never won to the older days?
Is there old and loves that? And you know the
group that made.
Speaker 5 (26:28):
That song, the association is so works older.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
I hope that he becomes a month for real, And like,
if there's a way, don't they change names or something.
I hope he changed his name on YOUNA know that
something else.
Speaker 4 (26:41):
Everyone knows it's Webb all right.
Speaker 5 (26:42):
Hey, speaking of the Spurs lost to the Lakers last night,
the Lakers are off to a good start without Lebron James.
There's no way he comes back in and says, Hey,
everything's rolling and I'm just gonna kind of sneak in
and do whatever I need to do. Things will change
once you get there, won't they.
Speaker 7 (27:03):
Of course it will, because his aura takes over, for
lack of a better word, his narcissism takes over. And
so to me, that's been the problem for Lebron. It's
like he's had great teammates, but he's such a big presence.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
You know, and especially since he's been.
Speaker 7 (27:22):
With the Lakers, it's been hard for those guys. We've
always said this in the past. When he's out of games,
guys relax and they just play. I mean, you've seen
what Austin Reeves just did recently, the young kid Smith,
what DeAndre Aden's been doing since Lebron's not on the court,
and Hot Chamorro, all those guys. Everybody's playing really well.
So to me, I'm not saying do not use Lebron.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
But I think he at some point in.
Speaker 7 (27:48):
Time, Lebron James needs to say, Okay, you know what
I've done enough, you know, let me just settle back
into a role that's conducive to winning.
Speaker 5 (28:00):
I agree it should be about at this point for
Lebron anyway, it ain't about stats or numbers. He's trying
to win it one more championship, right, He's on his
last legs.
Speaker 7 (28:10):
Yeah, and you know, I don't know if he wants that.
I think the stats mean more to him than the championships.
Speaker 4 (28:15):
You know what. It reminded me of like Jerry Jones.
Speaker 5 (28:18):
Jerry Jones wants to win only because you know, with
the moves that he makes. You know, otherwise he would
have given up the range years ago to try to
get a football man in there to run his team.
Speaker 7 (28:32):
No, I don't. I'm not buying that one. Jerry Jones
is the owner of the team, where as Lebron is
a play.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
Jerry, Jerry's the general.
Speaker 5 (28:41):
I'm just on my older They haven't gone to an
NFC Championship game in thirty five years and he.
Speaker 4 (28:48):
No, but I'm saying he refuses to give.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
Up power somebody, so they suck.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
Well, you think Jerry helps you? I agree, I agree
with you on that ribe.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
Unfortunately, All Star guests for me, NBA ven, Fox Sports Radio,
NBA analysts. Hey, olden man, you've been in You've been
in locker rooms, you've been on teams. Help me understand
what's going on with Jah Right now, they get a
new coach as last year they let their other coach go,
and they just have not seen us to be on
the same page.
Speaker 4 (29:16):
He gets suspended because.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Of you know, kind of hit, the confrontation he has
with the coach and then the way he addressed it
with the media.
Speaker 4 (29:21):
And then he says he's he has no he's no joy.
Right now, they asked her, you have joy.
Speaker 5 (29:25):
Young guy making forty million dollars playing basketball has no.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
Because they asked him that about that last time he
was getting in trouble. So what do you make of
the situation happened with Memphis? And then what would you
either say to him if you were his coach or
his GM or maybe just even his big homie.
Speaker 7 (29:40):
Well, the funny thing about is this, you know, I
think on one of the shows that I spoke on
a while back, when Job was doing the whole gun thing,
I kind.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
Of blamed his dad because I'm like, you're sitting there at.
Speaker 7 (29:53):
Half court and you're allowing this to have with your son,
who's a star, you know, who everybody's trying to put
backing into, and yet you allow him to basically derail
a career. With that being said, I believe that it's
it's over in Memphis because when they say the coach
(30:13):
has lost the locker room, as they did with Taylor Jenkins,
it's the coach is having problems with the star player.
They don't want to say it that way. You say
he's lost the locker room, because that is the locker room.
The star guy kind of controls everything and this new
coach who I don't even know where he came from.
(30:34):
You know, they give him the reins with a guy
who's an All star, got his own shoe and everything else.
Now you're trying to create your identity as a coach.
But he's already setting this with He's already gotten rid
of one coach and so to me, it's a done deal.
Speaker 4 (30:50):
It's over with.
Speaker 7 (30:50):
They just gonna have to figure out what's the best
cost of action moving forward as far as moving John Morant.
But it's not gonna be in Memphis anymore. In my
personal opinion.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Yeah, I think it's around. I don't think you can
bounce back from this, just from the way it's been.
It's been a couple of two three seasons of this
just getting into it, with coaches obviously being suspended from
the league. Now with the team, it just feels like
a fresh start is probably gonna best for him and
the team, the organization most definitely.
Speaker 7 (31:16):
Yeah, but John Moran's killing his brand also, you know,
because now teams are gonna be like, well, do we
really want this headache? And if you send him somewhere,
it has to be with a strong coach.
Speaker 5 (31:26):
Right and any general manager or anybody brings him in
is putting their own job on the line, you know
what I mean, if it comes in and it's a disaster.
Speaker 4 (31:34):
So you got to be really really like, we're.
Speaker 5 (31:36):
Down and out. We're Charlotte and we we have they're
saying the throw the Kings. Yeah, the Kings and the Timberwolves.
Those are the two teams right now that they're saying, I.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
Could see him with the Kings.
Speaker 7 (31:47):
I could definitely see him with the Kings.
Speaker 4 (31:49):
Yeah, that's NBA for any of that.
Speaker 7 (31:52):
Because Doug Christie will is even though he's not a
winning coach, only because he played. And I think there's
a respect level with Doug Christy. I think that could work.
Speaker 5 (32:04):
We buss Doug Christie's wife is the assistant coach, so she's.
Speaker 4 (32:13):
Neither them.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
You're stupid, bro, all right, thank you man. We appreciate you,
old of the nose. When I'm talking to we all know.

Speaker 4 (34:55):
Okay, that's going two and one.
Speaker 5 (34:57):
Last night sixty three and sixty is a total my
best bet. I'm taking Rob G's Raiders plus the nine points.
Speaker 4 (35:07):
Is Rich Cannon coming back?
Speaker 5 (35:10):
No, because Bo Nicks is gonna trip over Pete Carroll's
walker with a chick.
Speaker 4 (35:23):
Ricks, That's what it is, gonna trip with his cane
exactly doing what he hates what he beat up this flight? Hell? Like, yo?
What was that? That was crazy? But he touched a
guy with a football helmet on? Yo? All right, that
was crazy. I know the teammate the other team. Look,
did he just touch him? Unbelievable? All right?
Speaker 5 (35:45):
And I got the Clippers plus two and a half
during Phoenix taking on the Suns. There's only two games,
so I got the Clippers plus two and a half
and the Raiders plus nine the cover. I don't expect
them to win. I expect them to cover. And remember, Calvin,
I'm not telling you who to bet on. I'm telling
you wha. I bet a hall You see my hat
on we'recking today.
Speaker 4 (36:05):
This is my NAPJ Hall of Fame hat.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
That is you don't get to wear a lot iuz
I haven't seen it over year. I was there, yeah
when you when you know what I got it?
Speaker 4 (36:13):
Yeah? Yeah, I was there. I had a champagne a
shamp Pizzolo toast.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
What you remember that shampo uh shamp piple. Yeah, we
had a little champ lobby. Me shot to our boy
Darren Haynes. No scrim It was about Martin was there.
It was about I think like another one hundred and
twenty seven for your mentees. Wasn't that many?
Speaker 4 (36:34):
Man?
Speaker 1 (36:34):
It took two hours just to go around the name
you name them all? I could remember you you remember that.
I was shut all right now for time for Tyreck
play today.
Speaker 2 (36:43):
At the other end, Mitchell of the lane basing scores,
it's all going for tam in the night.
Speaker 4 (36:48):
He's got forty.
Speaker 1 (36:49):
Two Donovan Mitchell, forty two. I think he ended with
forty six. There that's your Tyreck Player of the Day,
brought to you by Tyreck. For over forty years, Tyrek's
been helping customers find the right tires for how, what
and where they drive shit fast and free back by
free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile
tire installation, tire rack dot com as the way tire
buying should be. And this is also from Donald Mitchell.
(37:12):
Donovan Mitchell, they said, why he was balling the night?
Why'd you play so well, here's why.
Speaker 9 (37:15):
This kid pissed me off today. I was playing two K.
He's just coming washed up. He come me a bunch
of things. He said he ain't seen a highlight for
me in a minute. And I just told him, all right,
we'll see. He said, tell me to go to sleep.
He was going in. So this game was for that,
for that kid or grown man whoever.
Speaker 4 (37:29):
That was blank them kids or that grown man whoever
that was.
Speaker 1 (37:34):
Really, that's some twenty twenty five motivation, Rob, You don't
get down with that.
Speaker 4 (37:38):
Two K motivated him to drop a forty something piece.
Speaker 5 (37:40):
That he makes forty million dollars a year, and the
Cavs just need to win a game because it's funny.
Speaker 4 (37:45):
Prior to that, they still were fake.
Speaker 5 (37:47):
Remember I was telling you about how they were favored
by I don't know, fourteen and a half like a
big spread, and they actually covered it.
Speaker 4 (37:55):
So there was something going in anyway.
Speaker 5 (37:56):
But if that that's what motivates you, makes you feel
good that somebody who he doesn't even know who is
behind you don't or exactly like like you don't even
know that that motivated you.
Speaker 4 (38:07):
Somebody who you don't even know motivated look at me.
Speaker 1 (38:10):
I ain't buying it. And I'm not talking about Donovan.
I'm talking about you, Michael Jordan over here making up stuff.
Speaker 4 (38:15):
Hey, how you doing? What's your name? A man with
some man? Rod Parker.
Speaker 1 (38:17):
I'm happy to play against you. Yet what you say
about my mama? Nah, I just said my name is
rob I'm just introducing myself. Okay, okay, that's what you
said about my mom. You know whatever it takes to get.
Speaker 4 (38:28):
Motivated Donovan Mitchell and Michael Jordan. Okay, No, we're talking
about the motivation.
Speaker 1 (38:33):
I'm not ignore I'm just using an example of a
person who finds some motivation. No, what's funny about that
is to me more than that, because that's how you know,
if that's what he got. But what somebody asked me
a question, if he had nine points, would you tell
that story about how the Absolutely no, he will wait
till the next time he had a forty piece. Then
he would say I was motivated two k this kid
(38:53):
or this man. But what is that about, rob Ger?
You play video games online at all? Did you ever
when it first? Kind of No, now you're too good.
Rob G was into that. He was into the women
and babies and all that, right, rob G, that was.
