really looking forward. Would that be your first time seeing him? Yeah? Live,
sign up. Yeah. When I was going on the back
in the day.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
You know, you go out on Friday nights to New
York and you go to Yeah, you go to these
comedy clubs back in the day when I was in
my twenties and whatnot, and you know, Chris Rock would
walk in, you know what I mean, or doing it.
Somebody come in and do that. Like those kind of
comedians were coming in and work on their material.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
It used to be great. That's a real thing.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
I'm still like living out here, I haven't experienced it,
but I know Kevin Hart will pop up a lot
of places.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
People will go somewhere.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Yo, it's crazy. Dave Schappelle just walked in. Kevin Hart
just walked in because they're coming in just a little set.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
You never asked the thing about comedy because it's unlike
sports where I mean, I guess you have a Kevin
Durant as an example of like even tho I'm at
the Pinnacle, I'll still just pull up on remember that
he had that summer just pulling up on any court
during Wizard the lockout and he was just bored.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
He was just pulling up on any court.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Comedians still kind of do that, like let me go
test see if I still got it, randomly and go
do some improv somewhere, go see my boy. And it
might be a small room just fifty people, forty people
and they'll pull up.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
Might be a two hundred seater.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
But that's always cool if you can catch somebody unexpected,
like oh shoot, Dave Spelle just wrote up in here.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
No doubt about it. All right, Rob G can you
set the table with this Brownie story? Absolutely? Rob, nothing more.
I love it. Set the table for you. I'm just saying, yes,
Sir Massa Curtin, all right here we got wow yesterday.
You hear that he said, Oh my god, man.
Speaker 5 (04:06):
You know what's worse is Dove's making me go get
his chicken during the commercial break.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
Oh wow, this sounded stop laughing over there. You know
that's against the rules.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
When I first came here, I was told, very written up,
do not ask in terms.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
Of people to go get food.
Speaker 5 (04:24):
Robbie, it's a paid employee chicken.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
You ain't going to get it. He just ordered it
for me. He's been thank you, and third, quit being a.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Snitchet stitches out here son.
Speaker 5 (04:36):
All Right, guys, so this story kind of got buried, honestly,
you know, with what's going on here in the NBA.
Over the weekend, a Western Conference executive spoke to Athlon
Sports about Bronnie James and during the conversation he said,
quote that he expects Bronnie to be a regular in
the rotation next season ten fifteen minutes, talked about his
(04:57):
off season growth from summer league to started the scene
and in the end of the regular season. So he's
expecting that Bronnie is going to be getting regular minutes
with the big club next year. What's interesting about that
is Bronnie, as soon as he was drafted, became the
poster child for nepotism in sports. Well, flash forward to yesterday. Monday,
(05:19):
news broke out of Utah that Danny Ainge, the CEO
of the Utah Jazz, is hired his son Austin Age,
to be the new president of Basketball ops.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
You think that might be a coincidence.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
Except every major basketball related job that Austin Age has
ever had in his career has been with his father. So, guys,
here's the question, why is it that Bronnie James is
the poster child for nepotism, while Austin Ainge seems to
fly under the radar.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
For me, this goes back to the conversation we're having.
When Bronnie was drafted. I completely can understand people's frustration.
You know, he wasn't even that great in college. I
understood that.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
I got it.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
But the idea that lebron James, what he's meant to
the league, what he means currently even to the league,
would not help his son get drafted, to me, was crazy.
And I mentioned then it happens all the time. It
happens with coaches, It happens with guys who are behind staffers,
you know, in the executive offices. It happens with lawyers.
It happens with so many people. That's just part of life. Literally,
(06:26):
it can be Hey, I went to college with Bob,
Bob is now a lawyer. My son wants to go
to a law firm. Hey, Bob, take care of my son.
That's just a part of life. They alsen say. Your
net worth is sometimes and most often determined by your
net work, meaning where you're gonna go depends on who
you know, and so to me, I just think that
(06:47):
was kind of par for the course, and if we
had the opportunity. Again, if you're talking about with Bronnie
the fifty fifth pick, which doesn't often amount to anything,
why not give him a shot if you were the Lakers.
So to me, I didn't quite stand the outrage. If
he was a lottery pick, oh, I totally get all
right settled down.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
He's not on that.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
He was a top ten pick, a top twenty pick,
But the fifty fifth pick didn't really bother me. And
again my point then was Rob this happens all the time. No, no,
it doesn't, and it happens. It happens. It just just happens.
That's the craziest thing I've ever heard. Between working a
job where people do. Nepotism is bad. So I'm the
first one to say it. What Danny Aingel is doing
(07:25):
is bad. Nepotism is bad.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
A lot of companies won't even allow it because it
is bad. I don't believe the Utah Jabh should hire
Danny Aingel's son, so I'll be the first one on
the record. But when it comes to athletics and you
having to compete to get on the field, the reason
that this country is seventy percent white and the NBA
seventy five percent black.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
Is because you have to earn your way onto the field.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Okay, if NBA owners wanted to do it and hire
just put white guys on the league and say the
country seventy percent white, I don't care how good black
players are.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
I'm just gonna hire white.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Players because those are the people who are buying the
tickets and coming to the games.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
That I don't care.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
No, sports has never been that once they've decided that
they were gonna allow black people to compete fairly and honestly,
once they broke the color barrier. So it's a disservice
to everybody who puts on their uniform who has to compete.
Michael Jordan owned the damn team. He didn't put his
two sons on the team. He could have Jerry Jones
(08:33):
Owes the Dallas Cowboys. He could have put his team,
his tongue, his sons on the team and said, what
doesn't matter, They're only the last guys on the end
of the bench. People would be outraged. It's it's a
disgrace anybody who's ever played sports and had to compete
for a spot for a guy to put their kid
on it.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
It happens all the time, and it's wrong.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
It's wrong in little league, it's wrong in high school,
it's wrong in college, and it's wrong in.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
Pros anybody who's honest.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
The only reason that people didn't go out and go
off on Lebron is because he's the star and they
don't want the wrath or be able to say, well,
Lebron stopped me from doing this, or I can't get
a ticket to the Lakers, or you know, like they're afraid.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
If this was anybody else, if this was.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Anybody other than Lebron James, he'd be ridiculed.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
Trying to get his son in the NBA.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
We saw it down with Irban Meyer trying to get
Tim Tebow a job as a tight end right his
next door neighbor, his friend, and the player said, f no,
he's no good. There's twenty kids in college who played
tight end who deserved that job. And what happened. Tim
(09:43):
Tebow didn't get a job because it wasn't right. And Bron,
he's not right, and he proved this year he's ready.
He's not ready for the NBA. He's a marginal player
at best. I refuse to sit here and act like
it's okay. It ain't the same thing as a job.
I own a store or I own something that people
(10:04):
hire people all the time. It's still ain't right. I
just said that from the jump. The nepotism ain't right. Okay,
unless you own a family store and you could hire
whoever you want.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
If it's your business, you can well. First off, the
Lakers are family business. Let's start there. The Lakers are
family run business. Also, you the best part about it
is you're acting as if you couldn't name me three
four players that came out of that draft.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Do you know how many players in that draft will
never hear from again? I want you to name me
another player? Put this, you know, I mean it wasn't worthy.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
Name one. I literally, I just let you talk. Name one.
You can't, you can't. Never been done.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
I just let you talk and yell you're done. Okay, thanks,
So you can't name me another player in that draft.
Outside of one or two players, the draft was not good.
There were not great players, and especially in the second
round with a bunch of guys who we will never
hear from again. So that happens all the time, where
you get a guy who's not that great in your
(11:00):
taking him on potential or you're taking him on some
type of connection. That happens all the time. So the
act as if that's a anomaly. It's not. Do you
know how many second round picks are nothing? But hopes
this kid's coming from this country. Well he's six', eight
we're hoping he might. Grow he's only, nineteen he might
grow three more, inches and you take him on a.
Whim you never even seen him play. Basketball and it
(11:20):
happens all the. Time so the idea that The lakers
don't do a solid to their star player and go
get a kid who is his son who played locally
here at, See well that is crazy that Whoa he
did not he did play number, one he did not
get and he did not. Play well that Wasn't why didn't?
(11:41):
HE i don't know he came back and. PLAYED i
know he had an, incident but that's exactly so he
had a. Resident so you're, SAYING i know he's better
than what we just. Saw he's getting back THAT i
don't know he saw. Why so the act that if
it's a big, deal but When Danny aings does, it
he worked like a big.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
Deal it ain't the.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Same it ain't the same because you are everywhere for
the for the on the.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Field you know what it's. Called it's called an, auditions
called an. Interview noday have to audition an. Interview i'm
telling you that what you did is. WRONG i tell
you that that's.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
What Jerry jones. Did Jerry jones owns the. Team he
has a right to to hire his family if he
owns the. Business lebron doesn't own The. Lakers The lakers
businesses on The.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
Lakers they didn't do. Right it's.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
DISGRACEFUL i can't And i'm blown away that you actually
are that bad about.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
It that.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Disgraceful there's there's a million and a half and talk
about Disgrace gate in his country or things that go.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
On that's Not that's what stopped black people from getting jobbed.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Forever we could never get into places because people were
hiring their cousins and their. Friends i'm talking from, experience,
Man and it ain't.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
Right it ain't.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Right it ain't right With lebron And. Bronny it ain't.
Right When Danny aingel is, kid it ain't. RIGHT i
told you when Uh Bill belichick hired his kid down
At North.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
Carolina it ain't.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Right, Okay so that's gonna happen for eternity because people
hire people they, know, duh just like you get so
many people. Returnships people you, Know, HEY i know a
kid who looks.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
Hard you have a great.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Opportunity you're not related to.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
Me they're not. Related my nephew does not work At
Fox Sports.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
RADIO i don't know what your. Nephew they're not related to.
Me it ain't the same.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
Thing it's.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Wrong that's why, company there's a lot of companies you
can't hire relatives for that.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
Reason that's, Fine but why do they do?
Speaker 6 (13:51):
That?
Speaker 4 (13:52):
Then if it's, fine why do you think they do?
That i'm asking.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
You i'm saying it has happened from the. Beginning why
is the company explain it to?
Speaker 4 (14:00):
Me, yes you? Do, now can't you have sex with with? People,
No i'm asking YOU. WHOA i don't know how we got?
Speaker 3 (14:08):
That, yeah because you know, what how many people have
lost jobs because they have sex with.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
Subordinates it's the same. Thing why is? THAT i don't
thing it.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Is wielding your power to have sex with somebody is
not the same as hiring SOMEBODY i know at.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
All it's the reason that you shouldn't do, it because
you you also alter other people's lives at the job
by doing stuff like.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
That it's not.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Fair someone worked their whole life for an opportunity and
you will hire their.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
SON i don't THINK i would BE i would feel
good about, That, okay all?

Speaker 3 (16:09):
Got adam IN. Dc you're on the odd couple Of
Fox Sports. Radio what's up at?
Speaker 7 (16:13):
HIM i got my favorite radio show They. Kevin you
normally be on, them, man BUT i gotta go and
ribe on this, one because you know, What nepotism is just.
Wrong it's because we know what's gonna, happen doesn't mean
we should allow it to, happen, RIGHT i look at
it like, this like say, things you had a privately owned.
Business as long as that business remind remains, PRIVATE i.
CAN i can offer my son on my nephew to
(16:34):
be THE. Ceo but ONCE i get out there off
OF ipo AND i go, published thank, YOU i nig
it's now have to be fair a, game. Bro SO
i had to go and ribe on this one and
get especially when it comes to. Sports he put they,
blood sweat and tears. In it's, like, Look i'm five to.
Six like imagine IF i was a Bron, son he
gonna just throw me in the, league like you, KNOW
i made.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Nothing heck, No So, adam let me ask you this
BECAUSE i get what you're.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
Saying let me ask you.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
This so we've had we've had a MILLION nba, players you,
know and then they have sons for. Eons so If
bronni gets into the, league why why doesn't this happen more?
Often if it was just simply, oh he just put
my son. In my point is this made sense for
The lakers business, Wise this made sense for with a
(17:18):
relationship With. Lebron so this isn't something that happens all the,
time and he was a fifty fifth. Pick at, HIM
i would feel, you seriously if he ross sat there
and said a million, times if he was even in
the first.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
Round i'll be, like all, right come, on, y'all, y'all
y'all doing too much.
Speaker 7 (17:30):
Now, NOW i ain't knocked at. You i'm even Though
i'm calling FROM. Dc i'm A laker, fan, right So
i'm not mad at, it but like it's still Not
i'm not too mad at, it but it's still not.
Right nepotism, overall it's not. Right you have THE nfl
and THE nba that's kind of littered with players that
come from you know that because they, juniors they got
a shot versus somebody else that. Didn't because nepotitism is
(17:52):
just it's the man's. Game BUT i guess you gotta
get you gotta get rich so you can do it
for your.
Speaker 4 (17:56):
Kids, yeah position, wrong, position wouldn't even do. IT i
just because a lot of people appreciate.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
You atam H andre In, massachusetts you're on the odd
couple Of Fox Sports. Radio what's, Up, Dreight, hey how you.
Speaker 8 (18:11):
Doing thanks for taking the.
Speaker 9 (18:12):
Call.
Speaker 8 (18:12):
Listen this is that tale as old as. Time. Right
the song is oldest rhyme in terms of, Nepotism so
it's not going, anywhere WHICH i believe Is kelvin's. Point
it's going to be with. Us But rob to your,
point it's inherently. Wrong it represents. Redlining, YES i think
we're this is the taking away of opportunities from qualified.
People But, rob to add on to your, point the
(18:34):
other thing about nepotism, is outside of the example Of
philip The second passing it over To alexander The great
right who was himself at that, level nepotism generally it never.
Works so when you give somebody something that people had
to work tremendously hard from, for they generally fail in that,
position which brings down the whole. Organization. Right this is
the issue when we talk about like youth, sports where
(18:56):
you have to tell parents you don't need to advocate
for your. Kids, okay it's hamstringing. Them they're not gonna
have that desire and determination to be that great.
Speaker 6 (19:05):
Player.
Speaker 8 (19:05):
Okay so all the way back To lebron And, Bronni
rob to your, point this is what's gonna be Making.
Bronni he's never going to ever Be lebron even if
he would have been that way in the first, place
because he's things are given to. Him When lebron is
just that kid from.
Speaker 4 (19:18):
Acting andres hunger in.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Him, andre you know sports way too well to ever
think that anybody on, earth Including, bronni thought he would Be.
Lebron come, on, now come, On, andre like you you you,
KNOW i get your. Point you have to go that
extreme like that. There some of it is he has
to Be lebron to be a quality, Player like what
would nobody ever thought he would Be lebron just.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
BE i don't.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
KNOW i don't know if anybody thinks he's gonna be a quality.
PLAYER i, mean he might be on a roster or.
Whatever we'll see When lebron's not in the. League we'll
see will how long he's gonna be in the, league
BECAUSE i don't think it'll be.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Long y'all really gonna be mad When lebron sticks around
one way year after this one and It's bryce And.
Bronni i'm not saying they'll be on the same, team
but they're in THE. Nba y'all really gonna be, mad, Then.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
Big Mad jose and over In, nevada you're on the
couple Of Fox Sports, radio.
Speaker 9 (20:03):
What's up and how are you guys?
Speaker 5 (20:05):
Doing?
Speaker 10 (20:05):
GUYS i totally agree with are you guys saying Lebron
james did this honorable favor for his. SON i Think
lebron Le bronni should have gone his own, route should
have made his own legacy and homes in himself and
(20:25):
just played it. Out right, now The lakers are struggling
and it's not a good move For Lebronni's james to
be right there with his dad when his dad used
to be winning championships right now and that's not working out.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
NOW i got. IT i mean it's. Not it's not
the best.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
THING i Think bronni heard that and uh, yeah well
maybe that was another player that could add on a.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
TEAM i don't.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Know, maybe, yeah that was That bronnie. Picked it was
going to be the one that's got him over the.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
Time Is Eddie house his? Son is he on The?
Celtics let's ask. It, yeah let's a.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
Lot he should call up and demand that his son
he does THE tv stuff for. Them why they need
the man that his son.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
His son can yess it does, now it doesn't Because
bronnie couldn't Put bronnie is worth the fifty.
Speaker 4 (21:11):
Fifty Absolutely Steven.

Couple Rob, Parker Kevin, WASHINGTON Nba, CHAMP Nbc Sports, Boston
Fox Sports, RADIO Nba, Analyst Emmy winner.
Speaker 4 (21:38):
And he ain't never been Dumped Eddie? House WHAT i?
Speaker 9 (21:42):

Speaker 2 (21:43):

Speaker 9 (21:47):
Good i'm good, man just living, life, man loving, Life
happy to be. Alive i'm with that.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
One, hey real, QUICK i just thought about. This we
had Ice cube on. Earlier of, course owner and founder
of The Big? Three you did you ever? PLAY i
don't recall you may have IF i missed, It and
if you, didn't what would you?
Speaker 10 (22:04):
Have?
Speaker 4 (22:04):
Ever did you ever consider.
Speaker 9 (22:05):
It doing what The Big?
Speaker 4 (22:08):
Three?
Speaker 9 (22:09):
OH i WAS i was getting into. IT i did consider.
IT i had a torn roach header cuff to WHERE
i wasn't able to you, know be healthy to get into.
It and after that. Part it. Was, NAH i didn't do,
it BUT i would have, considerate you know WHAT i.
MEAN i thought about.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
It, Okay, yeah we just Had cube on the show last.
HOUR i just thought about it talking with. You let's
go here a little.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
Bit. Man you Got TIBs getting fired from The. KNICKS
i thought he should have been, Fired. ADDIE i talked
about it yesterday after they beat The. CELTICS i believe
that expectations were.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
That they were going to the, finals and they lose
the first two, games choked down a fourteen point lead
in game, one Lose game, two lose the. Series i'm
not surprised that he got fired BECAUSE i think THERES
x expert their expectations increased after they beat The.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
Celtics where are you on?
Speaker 9 (23:03):
TIPS i don't think. THAT i don't think it was,
fair just for this. Reason you got superstar players that
ain't being superstar. Players Og ananobi supposed to be, something,
Right he's supposed to do. Something Car Anthony towns is
the next, guy is the next To Jalen. Brunson that's
(23:27):
supposed to be. Something he didn't show. Up but every
once and again a coach can only do certain. Things
you know WHAT i. Mean you could put a playbook.
Together you could put a this is how we're gonna
go out, here and we got this how we're gonna,
attack and then you could just you could change everything like.
(23:49):
That but at the end of the, day the players
got to go out there and. Play and if if
your best players only show up every once and, AGAIN i,
mean come, on what we're talking about right?
Speaker 10 (24:03):
NOW i think YOU'RE i think it was.
Speaker 4 (24:05):
Unfair so you don't need.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Coaches coaches don't matter at, All and it doesn't if
that's the, case because Because, eddie here's Where i'm gonna
push back on. You if we're gonna give coaches new
contracts and give them credit when the team wins because
they didn't score any baskets and make any plays in
those games and when they won the, championship but now
we're going to say it's all on the players when
they don't.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
Win which one is?
Speaker 3 (24:27):
It because they get credit when the players play, well
and the coaches get a new contract and get big.
Speaker 4 (24:33):
Money so which one is?
Speaker 9 (24:34):
It you know what it? Is rob were chasing our
tails as as people that love, sports we chase our.
Tails that's what it. Is because at one point we
look at it this, way and then one point we
look at it that. Way and What i'm telling you is,
this if you are paying somebody big, time let me
(24:55):
ask you're you're a baseball, fan.
Speaker 4 (24:57):
Right a little, bit you KNOW i.
Speaker 9 (25:00):
Am So i'm asking you you're a baseball what's your
base who's her baseball? Team BECAUSE i don't know.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
That, Well i'm a reporter for the last forty. YEARS
i grew up In queens as A mets. Fan that's
WHAT i grew.
Speaker 9 (25:13):
Up, Okay, okay so you're A mets.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
FAN i grew up as.
Speaker 9 (25:16):
Well so If soto doesn't show, up do you have
an issue with?
Speaker 10 (25:22):
That?
Speaker 3 (25:23):
Uh he's making seven hundred and sixty five million, dollars
he's batting two Forty. Uh most fans would not be
happy with. That, okay so.
Speaker 9 (25:33):
You're not happy with. That does that have anything to
do with the? Manager?
Speaker 3 (25:38):
NO i mean there are moments in situations where a
manager can make a. Difference All i'm saying is we
just can't give them blame when things don't go because you,
know when you, say, well the players didn't play, well,
well that's in every, circumstance even the good.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
Ones that's All i'm, Saying.
Speaker 9 (25:53):
Eddie, Exactly that's What i'm. Saying it's, like, well players
need to show up and the ancillary place need to show.
Up it doesn't always fall on the, stars it don't
always fall on the. Coach the ancillary players have to
show up as well to boost up the stars and
(26:13):
also boosts up the.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
COACH i also, Thought eddie two we talked about, It
rob AND i, THOUGHT i just thought they. Overachieved If
i'd have told you that they went to The Eastern
Conmags final game, six a game and a half away
from going to the, Finals that'd be an amazing season
for The. Knicks and SO i thought that to me
was one of the things THAT i was kind of shocked.
By you finally had somebody who brought some stability to
(26:36):
an organization that has not had that for the last
twenty five thirty. Years so The Tom tibberty and Then Jalen,
brunson and you know this star player is vouching for.
HIM i definitely thought that that would weigh more. Heavily
but maybe that's not the. Case let's go to the
other side of. This you got The Oklahoma city. Thunder
there you have just looking like one of the best
teams ever on papers analytically by what they've been able to.
(26:58):
Do now that the final are, set if you're The
pacers And Eddie Eddie house is our, coach what's our
line of?
Speaker 4 (27:05):
Attack what are we? Doing how can we bring them
down to?
Speaker 9 (27:07):
Earth we're playing as fast as we can, play you
know WHAT i? MEAN i think that off makes. Missus
you gotta just push the. Basketball you gotta put them
in situations to where they got to slight their feet
because they're really a really great defensive. Team okay, obviously
because we know. That every statistics show. That so what
(27:32):
do you? Do you got to put them in a
bunch of different like you come down and you you
make sure that, okay it's early in the shot, clop
you gotta do this. Action you gotta do another. Action
you gotta defend another. Action AND i feel like that's
the only way that you could beat this, team because
(27:54):
that's when you look at. It when you are a
great defensive, team usually those are the team teams that
win the. Championship when you are a great.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
Defense, team do you expect like a long series or
is THIS i, mean some people are thinking a gentleman
sweep that The pacers really don't have a shot where
You i'm about there right, now or on on how
the series plays.
Speaker 9 (28:16):
OUT i think it could. BE i don't think it's
gonna be as easy as everybody thinks it's gonna. BE
i think it could be a six or seven game.
SERIES i think it's gonna go to the sixth at
least because the way The pacers. PLAY i think That
Rick carlisle is a great. Coach he can make adjustments
on the fly within the. Game so this is the.
(28:40):
Thing sometimes you have to make adjustments within the game
and you have to make adjustments after the. Game AND
i think that he's a great coach at doing both
of those. Things SO i look at it as you,
know a six to seven game, series and and if
it goes to seven, games it could go. Anywhere six
(29:00):
Games i'm looking at ok see winning in six? Games.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Yep my, Thing, eddie WHEN i look at this series
IS i think a key thing for me is gonna
Be Tyre's halliburton understanding being aggressive at all. Times just
ain't the series where he can kind of you, know,
Wait AND i love the way he played that's kind
of more of a traditional point. Guard but just the
way that defense of the thunder and the way they
go at you AND, sga you, know just just mark thirty.
Points just put thirty on the board already for. HIM
(29:26):
i Think tyree's is gonna be one of those series
where he's gonna have to do more than maybe his
ENTIRE nba career every single, NIGHT.
Speaker 9 (29:35):
I agree with you with or what he's going to
have to do more and more doesn't mean. Scoring more
has to mean maybe a little bit of scoring and
maybe a little bit more of decision making and putting
other guys in position, to you, know for them to.
Score because the one THING i can tell you is
(29:55):
that is That i've NEVER i don't WANT i look
at The Indiana. Pacers they they're not a team that
is one guy, Dominant like he comes, down he makes,
plays and then they make another, play and then they
make another, play and Then god get, downhill and then
when don get, downhill and then you look out And
(30:16):
Miles turner is on a three point line and he's
able to shoot the. Three SO i DON'T i wouldn't
put it on all On. HALLIBURTON i think that is
just about playing the right, way AND i think that
they do play the right. Way and also coaching is
going to come into in, effect no.
Speaker 4 (30:37):
Doubt well we'll wait and, see.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
Man if they Start thursday THE Nba, Finals Eddie house and,
wait oh, yeah, man for real, hoopers this is gonna

Speaker 5 (32:55):
That AS i was going over this with you guys
during the commercial, break we had an update on those
twelve threats new, developments the guy was, SAYING i didn't
mean for this to become a big.
Speaker 4 (33:05):
Deal i'm not trying to make fun of this kid
any kind of.
Speaker 5 (33:07):
Way it is what it. Is and he's SAYING i
can't say if he got the job or, not but.
Speaker 4 (33:13):
He is getting an.
Speaker 5 (33:14):
Interview and there is a new sign in their office
space that reads strictly work because that's ALL i was

Speaker 4 (33:23):
Play love it. NICE i like.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
That, listen, Listen i've had to interview people you mentioned.
In my wife AND i own a small business us
to have a store out here In La The Glendale.
Galleria if you, know if you, know point is you
interview people, right and everybody's resume is gonna say the same.
Thing to your, Point, Rogie i'm gonna work. Hard i'm
dedicated and one of the best to every. Day i'm
really just looking for a place WHERE i can feel.
COMING i, MEAN i get it into doing what they're
(33:46):
supposed to. Do but anytime you have a chance to
stand out without being, ridiculous without being, disrespectful without being,
lude being, unique being, DIFFERENT i think you go for.
IT i think it's to your. APPROACH i think it
can be, stylistically maybe you dress.
Speaker 4 (34:00):
Again.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
Now it's, risky, RIGHT i Think rob would. Agree it's
a risky thing when you when you try to mix
it up too, Much but it is a thing that
can help you stand. Out and as somebody who mentors
a lot of, People rob, you the two you you,
you you educate them on finding something to differentiate. Yourself
you know WHAT i. Mean everybody's just, HEY i went
to the, SCHOOL i did this. Internship please give me a.
Job you gotta find them to differentiate.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
YOURSELF i THINK i told you WHEN i did, mine
WHEN i was getting out of, COLLEGE i did a
newspaper AND i wrote three stories a picture you, like
a like a one sheet newspaper about.
Speaker 4 (34:33):
Myself nice to be able to give to the javacruiters or.
Speaker 3 (34:37):
Whatever and one of the javacuiters said to, me he,
Said i'm first of, all you're the buzz of the
convention of the. Conference he, says all the recruiters are
talking about you because nobody had ever seen like a
cover sheet where it was like a newspapersper The Rob Parker.
RECORDER i still have, it which is unbelievable from. College
and he, said you took a big. Chance he, said
(34:57):
if this was poorly, done if it wasn't you you know.
Speaker 4 (35:00):
WHAT i, Mean, yeah it's a big. Miss he.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
Said it could have been a big miss if you
was like this, guy look at the eras in the
typos or you know WHAT i, mean the grammar or.
Whatever he. Said but it was really well done and
that's why you got a lot of. Attention SO i
do think that that has something to do with me
when it came time for standing, out AND i had
five job offers WHEN i got out of.
Speaker 4 (35:21):
College that's put that's a.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
Lot that was definitely a lot AND i think that
goes to the, point, right because everybody else is the same. Thing,
Hey i'm looking for a. JOB i want to be
a REPORT i work. HARD i went to this, SCHOOL
i went to this, college, Right, okay, great and you
know just from working conventions will be In cleveland AND
Abj National, Association, like don't be, Long i'll tell you.
Speaker 3 (35:39):
That.
Speaker 1 (35:39):
Yeah and it's just one of those things you want
to find a way to just got to have a
little something something to you when you. Can because imagine
somebody who has fifty one hundred, applications they don't know
what ninety percent of, them eighty percent looked the same same.
Qualifications it's, like how DO i really make a. DIFFERENCE
i don't know how to who DO i? Pick and
it comes down, to, oh, man remember that kid INN
(36:01):
abj who the way they, spoke or they had a
different they had the newspaper or resume or and the
way they, spoke or a, MAN i love, you it's
really nice bow tie. On it just stood all that's the.
Kid or you found out your boat from The midwest
and you were able to hit it off. THERE i
always tell people find something you can build some, uh you, know,
camaraderie build, rapport something, familiar because those things will separate.
(36:25):
Yourself otherwise you canna look just like everybody, else sound
like everybody, else and the niggas like they can.
Speaker 4 (36:28):
Close their eyes and just pick. Somebody. Uh you do
not want to be that.
Speaker 3 (36:32):
Guy you don't want to be in the every body's
doing the same, thing, Ben.
Speaker 1 (36:36):
And it's hard not to because that's what you've almost
been trained to, do, right, dude do. This this is
how you. Get you give a nice, resume wear your
nice dad's black or brown, suit and you.
Speaker 4 (36:44):
Do and you blue suit and you do.
Speaker 1 (36:46):
That and and for, me the big jumping off moment
was when it was at a conference and ABJ i
had that moment where my my real was different than everyone,
else AND i didn't know it was gonna be good
BECAUSE i was, LIKE i don't have the same traditional
format as everyone. Else and she said the same, thing
looked at my real smirks rewatches it and, goes that
was the best Reel i've seen all. Week And i'm, Like,
(37:07):
okay he's lying to. ME i know, HER i know he's.
Real and her point, was yours was. Different everyone else
like the exact same. Formula stand, up do this boom,
Interview stand up this boom. Interview she's, like yours are.
Different you took me, here you took me. There we,
laughed we, thought we. Cried she's like any was refreshing

This so whoever this person is now they got to
back it.
Speaker 10 (37:27):
Up.
Speaker 5 (37:28):
Well you know what's crazy about this whole situation is
it's been reported now by several outlets that When Bronnie
games mean With Rob, polinka all he said was strictly
work because that's all it raised to.
Speaker 4 (37:37):
Be not here to. Play and that's how, KID i
don't even know who your dad. IS i don't even

Do or should have, said should have said. Daddy but
he went in the third, round second round at. Least

in the day.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
You know, you go out on Friday nights to New
York and you go to Yeah, you go to these
comedy clubs back in the day when I was in
my twenties and whatnot, and you know, Chris Rock would
walk in, you know what I mean, or doing it.
Somebody come in and do that. Like those kind of
comedians were coming in and work on their material.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
It used to be great. That's a real thing.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
I'm still like living out here, I haven't experienced it,
but I know Kevin Hart will pop up a lot
of places.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
People will go somewhere.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Yo, it's crazy. Dave Schappelle just walked in. Kevin Hart
just walked in because they're coming in just a little set.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
You never asked the thing about comedy because it's unlike
sports where I mean, I guess you have a Kevin
Durant as an example of like even tho I'm at
the Pinnacle, I'll still just pull up on remember that
he had that summer just pulling up on any court
during Wizard the lockout and he was just bored.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
He was just pulling up on any court.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Comedians still kind of do that, like let me go
test see if I still got it, randomly and go
do some improv somewhere, go see my boy. And it
might be a small room just fifty people, forty people
and they'll pull up.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
Might be a two hundred seater.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
But that's always cool if you can catch somebody unexpected,
like oh shoot, Dave Spelle just wrote up in here.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
No doubt about it. All right, Rob G can you
set the table with this Brownie story? Absolutely? Rob, nothing more.
I love it. Set the table for you. I'm just saying, yes,
Sir Massa Curtin, all right here we got wow yesterday.
You hear that he said, Oh my god, man.
Speaker 5 (04:06):
You know what's worse is Dove's making me go get
his chicken during the commercial break.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
Oh wow, this sounded stop laughing over there. You know
that's against the rules.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
When I first came here, I was told, very written up,
do not ask in terms.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
Of people to go get food.
Speaker 5 (04:24):
Robbie, it's a paid employee chicken.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
You ain't going to get it. He just ordered it
for me. He's been thank you, and third, quit being a.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Snitchet stitches out here son.
Speaker 5 (04:36):
All Right, guys, so this story kind of got buried, honestly,
you know, with what's going on here in the NBA.
Over the weekend, a Western Conference executive spoke to Athlon
Sports about Bronnie James and during the conversation he said,
quote that he expects Bronnie to be a regular in
the rotation next season ten fifteen minutes, talked about his
(04:57):
off season growth from summer league to started the scene
and in the end of the regular season. So he's
expecting that Bronnie is going to be getting regular minutes
with the big club next year. What's interesting about that
is Bronnie, as soon as he was drafted, became the
poster child for nepotism in sports. Well, flash forward to yesterday. Monday,
(05:19):
news broke out of Utah that Danny Ainge, the CEO
of the Utah Jazz, is hired his son Austin Age,
to be the new president of Basketball ops.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
You think that might be a coincidence.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
Except every major basketball related job that Austin Age has
ever had in his career has been with his father. So, guys,
here's the question, why is it that Bronnie James is
the poster child for nepotism, while Austin Ainge seems to
fly under the radar.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
For me, this goes back to the conversation we're having.
When Bronnie was drafted. I completely can understand people's frustration.
You know, he wasn't even that great in college. I
understood that.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
I got it.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
But the idea that lebron James, what he's meant to
the league, what he means currently even to the league,
would not help his son get drafted, to me, was crazy.
And I mentioned then it happens all the time. It
happens with coaches, It happens with guys who are behind staffers,
you know, in the executive offices. It happens with lawyers.
It happens with so many people. That's just part of life. Literally,
(06:26):
it can be Hey, I went to college with Bob,
Bob is now a lawyer. My son wants to go
to a law firm. Hey, Bob, take care of my son.
That's just a part of life. They alsen say. Your
net worth is sometimes and most often determined by your
net work, meaning where you're gonna go depends on who
you know, and so to me, I just think that
(06:47):
was kind of par for the course, and if we
had the opportunity. Again, if you're talking about with Bronnie
the fifty fifth pick, which doesn't often amount to anything,
why not give him a shot if you were the Lakers.
So to me, I didn't quite stand the outrage. If
he was a lottery pick, oh, I totally get all
right settled down.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
He's not on that.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
He was a top ten pick, a top twenty pick,
But the fifty fifth pick didn't really bother me. And
again my point then was Rob this happens all the time. No, no,
it doesn't, and it happens. It happens. It just just happens.
That's the craziest thing I've ever heard. Between working a
job where people do. Nepotism is bad. So I'm the
first one to say it. What Danny Aingel is doing
(07:25):
is bad. Nepotism is bad.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
A lot of companies won't even allow it because it
is bad. I don't believe the Utah Jabh should hire
Danny Aingel's son, so I'll be the first one on
the record. But when it comes to athletics and you
having to compete to get on the field, the reason
that this country is seventy percent white and the NBA
seventy five percent black.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
Is because you have to earn your way onto the field.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Okay, if NBA owners wanted to do it and hire
just put white guys on the league and say the
country seventy percent white, I don't care how good black
players are.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
I'm just gonna hire white.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Players because those are the people who are buying the
tickets and coming to the games.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
That I don't care.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
No, sports has never been that once they've decided that
they were gonna allow black people to compete fairly and honestly,
once they broke the color barrier. So it's a disservice
to everybody who puts on their uniform who has to compete.
Michael Jordan owned the damn team. He didn't put his
two sons on the team. He could have Jerry Jones
(08:33):
Owes the Dallas Cowboys. He could have put his team,
his tongue, his sons on the team and said, what
doesn't matter, They're only the last guys on the end
of the bench. People would be outraged. It's it's a
disgrace anybody who's ever played sports and had to compete
for a spot for a guy to put their kid
on it.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
It happens all the time, and it's wrong.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
It's wrong in little league, it's wrong in high school,
it's wrong in college, and it's wrong in.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
Pros anybody who's honest.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
The only reason that people didn't go out and go
off on Lebron is because he's the star and they
don't want the wrath or be able to say, well,
Lebron stopped me from doing this, or I can't get
a ticket to the Lakers, or you know, like they're afraid.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
If this was anybody else, if this was.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Anybody other than Lebron James, he'd be ridiculed.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
Trying to get his son in the NBA.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
We saw it down with Irban Meyer trying to get
Tim Tebow a job as a tight end right his
next door neighbor, his friend, and the player said, f no,
he's no good. There's twenty kids in college who played
tight end who deserved that job. And what happened. Tim
(09:43):
Tebow didn't get a job because it wasn't right. And Bron,
he's not right, and he proved this year he's ready.
He's not ready for the NBA. He's a marginal player
at best. I refuse to sit here and act like
it's okay. It ain't the same thing as a job.
I own a store or I own something that people
(10:04):
hire people all the time. It's still ain't right. I
just said that from the jump. The nepotism ain't right. Okay,
unless you own a family store and you could hire
whoever you want.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
If it's your business, you can well. First off, the
Lakers are family business. Let's start there. The Lakers are
family run business. Also, you the best part about it
is you're acting as if you couldn't name me three
four players that came out of that draft.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Do you know how many players in that draft will
never hear from again? I want you to name me
another player? Put this, you know, I mean it wasn't worthy.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
Name one. I literally, I just let you talk. Name one.
You can't, you can't. Never been done.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
I just let you talk and yell you're done. Okay, thanks,
So you can't name me another player in that draft.
Outside of one or two players, the draft was not good.
There were not great players, and especially in the second
round with a bunch of guys who we will never
hear from again. So that happens all the time, where
you get a guy who's not that great in your
(11:00):
taking him on potential or you're taking him on some
type of connection. That happens all the time. So the
act as if that's a anomaly. It's not. Do you
know how many second round picks are nothing? But hopes
this kid's coming from this country. Well he's six', eight
we're hoping he might. Grow he's only, nineteen he might
grow three more, inches and you take him on a.
Whim you never even seen him play. Basketball and it
(11:20):
happens all the. Time so the idea that The lakers
don't do a solid to their star player and go
get a kid who is his son who played locally
here at, See well that is crazy that Whoa he
did not he did play number, one he did not
get and he did not. Play well that Wasn't why didn't?
(11:41):
HE i don't know he came back and. PLAYED i
know he had an, incident but that's exactly so he
had a. Resident so you're, SAYING i know he's better
than what we just. Saw he's getting back THAT i
don't know he saw. Why so the act that if
it's a big, deal but When Danny aings does, it
he worked like a big.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
Deal it ain't the.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Same it ain't the same because you are everywhere for
the for the on the.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Field you know what it's. Called it's called an, auditions
called an. Interview noday have to audition an. Interview i'm
telling you that what you did is. WRONG i tell
you that that's.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
What Jerry jones. Did Jerry jones owns the. Team he
has a right to to hire his family if he
owns the. Business lebron doesn't own The. Lakers The lakers
businesses on The.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
Lakers they didn't do. Right it's.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
DISGRACEFUL i can't And i'm blown away that you actually
are that bad about.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
It that.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Disgraceful there's there's a million and a half and talk
about Disgrace gate in his country or things that go.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
On that's Not that's what stopped black people from getting jobbed.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Forever we could never get into places because people were
hiring their cousins and their. Friends i'm talking from, experience,
Man and it ain't.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
Right it ain't.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Right it ain't right With lebron And. Bronny it ain't.
Right When Danny aingel is, kid it ain't. RIGHT i
told you when Uh Bill belichick hired his kid down
At North.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
Carolina it ain't.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Right, Okay so that's gonna happen for eternity because people
hire people they, know, duh just like you get so
many people. Returnships people you, Know, HEY i know a
kid who looks.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
Hard you have a great.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Opportunity you're not related to.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
Me they're not. Related my nephew does not work At
Fox Sports.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
RADIO i don't know what your. Nephew they're not related to.
Me it ain't the same.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
Thing it's.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Wrong that's why, company there's a lot of companies you
can't hire relatives for that.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
Reason that's, Fine but why do they do?
Speaker 6 (13:51):
That?
Speaker 4 (13:52):
Then if it's, fine why do you think they do?
That i'm asking.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
You i'm saying it has happened from the. Beginning why
is the company explain it to?
Speaker 4 (14:00):
Me, yes you? Do, now can't you have sex with with? People,
No i'm asking YOU. WHOA i don't know how we got?
Speaker 3 (14:08):
That, yeah because you know, what how many people have
lost jobs because they have sex with.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
Subordinates it's the same. Thing why is? THAT i don't
thing it.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Is wielding your power to have sex with somebody is
not the same as hiring SOMEBODY i know at.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
All it's the reason that you shouldn't do, it because
you you also alter other people's lives at the job
by doing stuff like.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
That it's not.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Fair someone worked their whole life for an opportunity and
you will hire their.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
SON i don't THINK i would BE i would feel
good about, That, okay all?
Speaker 3 (14:41):

Fox Sports. Radio what's up at?
Speaker 7 (16:13):
HIM i got my favorite radio show They. Kevin you
normally be on, them, man BUT i gotta go and
ribe on this, one because you know, What nepotism is just.
Wrong it's because we know what's gonna, happen doesn't mean
we should allow it to, happen, RIGHT i look at
it like, this like say, things you had a privately owned.
Business as long as that business remind remains, PRIVATE i.
CAN i can offer my son on my nephew to
(16:34):
be THE. Ceo but ONCE i get out there off

blood sweat and tears. In it's, like, Look i'm five to.
Six like imagine IF i was a Bron, son he
gonna just throw me in the, league like you, KNOW
i made.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Nothing heck, No So, adam let me ask you this
BECAUSE i get what you're.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
Saying let me ask you.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
This so we've had we've had a MILLION nba, players you,
know and then they have sons for. Eons so If
bronni gets into the, league why why doesn't this happen more?
Often if it was just simply, oh he just put
my son. In my point is this made sense for
The lakers business, Wise this made sense for with a
(17:18):
relationship With. Lebron so this isn't something that happens all the,
time and he was a fifty fifth. Pick at, HIM
i would feel, you seriously if he ross sat there
and said a million, times if he was even in
the first.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
Round i'll be, like all, right come, on, y'all, y'all
y'all doing too much.
Speaker 7 (17:30):
Now, NOW i ain't knocked at. You i'm even Though
i'm calling FROM. Dc i'm A laker, fan, right So
i'm not mad at, it but like it's still Not
i'm not too mad at, it but it's still not.
Right nepotism, overall it's not. Right you have THE nfl
and THE nba that's kind of littered with players that
come from you know that because they, juniors they got
a shot versus somebody else that. Didn't because nepotitism is
(17:52):
just it's the man's. Game BUT i guess you gotta
get you gotta get rich so you can do it
for your.
Speaker 4 (17:56):
Kids, yeah position, wrong, position wouldn't even do. IT i
just because a lot of people appreciate.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
You atam H andre In, massachusetts you're on the odd
couple Of Fox Sports. Radio what's, Up, Dreight, hey how you.
Speaker 8 (18:11):
Doing thanks for taking the.
Speaker 9 (18:12):
Call.
Speaker 8 (18:12):
Listen this is that tale as old as. Time. Right
the song is oldest rhyme in terms of, Nepotism so
it's not going, anywhere WHICH i believe Is kelvin's. Point
it's going to be with. Us But rob to your,
point it's inherently. Wrong it represents. Redlining, YES i think
we're this is the taking away of opportunities from qualified.
People But, rob to add on to your, point the
(18:34):
other thing about nepotism, is outside of the example Of
philip The second passing it over To alexander The great
right who was himself at that, level nepotism generally it never.
Works so when you give somebody something that people had
to work tremendously hard from, for they generally fail in that,
position which brings down the whole. Organization. Right this is
the issue when we talk about like youth, sports where
(18:56):
you have to tell parents you don't need to advocate
for your. Kids, okay it's hamstringing. Them they're not gonna
have that desire and determination to be that great.
Speaker 6 (19:05):
Player.
Speaker 8 (19:05):
Okay so all the way back To lebron And, Bronni
rob to your, point this is what's gonna be Making.
Bronni he's never going to ever Be lebron even if
he would have been that way in the first, place
because he's things are given to. Him When lebron is
just that kid from.
Speaker 4 (19:18):
Acting andres hunger in.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Him, andre you know sports way too well to ever
think that anybody on, earth Including, bronni thought he would Be.
Lebron come, on, now come, On, andre like you you you,
KNOW i get your. Point you have to go that
extreme like that. There some of it is he has
to Be lebron to be a quality, Player like what
would nobody ever thought he would Be lebron just.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
BE i don't.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
KNOW i don't know if anybody thinks he's gonna be a quality.
PLAYER i, mean he might be on a roster or.
Whatever we'll see When lebron's not in the. League we'll
see will how long he's gonna be in the, league
BECAUSE i don't think it'll be.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Long y'all really gonna be mad When lebron sticks around
one way year after this one and It's bryce And.
Bronni i'm not saying they'll be on the same, team
but they're in THE. Nba y'all really gonna be, mad, Then.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
Big Mad jose and over In, nevada you're on the
couple Of Fox Sports, radio.
Speaker 9 (20:03):
What's up and how are you guys?
Speaker 5 (20:05):
Doing?
Speaker 10 (20:05):
GUYS i totally agree with are you guys saying Lebron
james did this honorable favor for his. SON i Think
lebron Le bronni should have gone his own, route should
have made his own legacy and homes in himself and
(20:25):
just played it. Out right, now The lakers are struggling
and it's not a good move For Lebronni's james to
be right there with his dad when his dad used
to be winning championships right now and that's not working out.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
NOW i got. IT i mean it's. Not it's not
the best.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
THING i Think bronni heard that and uh, yeah well
maybe that was another player that could add on a.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
TEAM i don't.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Know, maybe, yeah that was That bronnie. Picked it was
going to be the one that's got him over the.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
Time Is Eddie house his? Son is he on The?
Celtics let's ask. It, yeah let's a.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
Lot he should call up and demand that his son
he does THE tv stuff for. Them why they need
the man that his son.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
His son can yess it does, now it doesn't Because
bronnie couldn't Put bronnie is worth the fifty.

Good i'm good, man just living, life, man loving, Life
happy to be. Alive i'm with that.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
One, hey real, QUICK i just thought about. This we
had Ice cube on. Earlier of, course owner and founder
of The Big? Three you did you ever? PLAY i
don't recall you may have IF i missed, It and
if you, didn't what would you?
Speaker 10 (22:04):
Have?
Speaker 4 (22:04):
Ever did you ever consider.
Speaker 9 (22:05):
It doing what The Big?
Speaker 4 (22:08):
Three?
Speaker 9 (22:09):
OH i WAS i was getting into. IT i did consider.
IT i had a torn roach header cuff to WHERE
i wasn't able to you, know be healthy to get into.
It and after that. Part it. Was, NAH i didn't do,
it BUT i would have, considerate you know WHAT i.
MEAN i thought about.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
It, Okay, yeah we just Had cube on the show last.
HOUR i just thought about it talking with. You let's
go here a little.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
Bit. Man you Got TIBs getting fired from The. KNICKS
i thought he should have been, Fired. ADDIE i talked
about it yesterday after they beat The. CELTICS i believe
that expectations were.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
That they were going to the, finals and they lose
the first two, games choked down a fourteen point lead
in game, one Lose game, two lose the. Series i'm
not surprised that he got fired BECAUSE i think THERES
x expert their expectations increased after they beat The.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
Celtics where are you on?
Speaker 9 (23:03):
TIPS i don't think. THAT i don't think it was,
fair just for this. Reason you got superstar players that
ain't being superstar. Players Og ananobi supposed to be, something,
Right he's supposed to do. Something Car Anthony towns is
the next, guy is the next To Jalen. Brunson that's
(23:27):
supposed to be. Something he didn't show. Up but every
once and again a coach can only do certain. Things
you know WHAT i. Mean you could put a playbook.
Together you could put a this is how we're gonna
go out, here and we got this how we're gonna,
attack and then you could just you could change everything like.
(23:49):
That but at the end of the, day the players
got to go out there and. Play and if if
your best players only show up every once and, AGAIN i,
mean come, on what we're talking about right?
Speaker 10 (24:03):
NOW i think YOU'RE i think it was.
Speaker 4 (24:05):
Unfair so you don't need.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Coaches coaches don't matter at, All and it doesn't if
that's the, case because Because, eddie here's Where i'm gonna
push back on. You if we're gonna give coaches new
contracts and give them credit when the team wins because
they didn't score any baskets and make any plays in
those games and when they won the, championship but now
we're going to say it's all on the players when
they don't.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
Win which one is?
Speaker 3 (24:27):
It because they get credit when the players play, well
and the coaches get a new contract and get big.
Speaker 4 (24:33):
Money so which one is?
Speaker 9 (24:34):
It you know what it? Is rob were chasing our
tails as as people that love, sports we chase our.
Tails that's what it. Is because at one point we
look at it this, way and then one point we
look at it that. Way and What i'm telling you is,
this if you are paying somebody big, time let me
(24:55):
ask you're you're a baseball, fan.
Speaker 4 (24:57):
Right a little, bit you KNOW i.
Speaker 9 (25:00):
Am So i'm asking you you're a baseball what's your
base who's her baseball? Team BECAUSE i don't know.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
That, Well i'm a reporter for the last forty. YEARS
i grew up In queens as A mets. Fan that's
WHAT i grew.
Speaker 9 (25:13):
Up, Okay, okay so you're A mets.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
FAN i grew up as.
Speaker 9 (25:16):
Well so If soto doesn't show, up do you have
an issue with?
Speaker 10 (25:22):
That?
Speaker 3 (25:23):
Uh he's making seven hundred and sixty five million, dollars
he's batting two Forty. Uh most fans would not be
happy with. That, okay so.
Speaker 9 (25:33):
You're not happy with. That does that have anything to
do with the? Manager?
Speaker 3 (25:38):
NO i mean there are moments in situations where a
manager can make a. Difference All i'm saying is we
just can't give them blame when things don't go because you,
know when you, say, well the players didn't play, well,
well that's in every, circumstance even the good.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
Ones that's All i'm, Saying.
Speaker 9 (25:53):
Eddie, Exactly that's What i'm. Saying it's, like, well players
need to show up and the ancillary place need to show.
Up it doesn't always fall on the, stars it don't
always fall on the. Coach the ancillary players have to
show up as well to boost up the stars and
(26:13):
also boosts up the.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
COACH i also, Thought eddie two we talked about, It
rob AND i, THOUGHT i just thought they. Overachieved If
i'd have told you that they went to The Eastern
Conmags final game, six a game and a half away
from going to the, Finals that'd be an amazing season
for The. Knicks and SO i thought that to me
was one of the things THAT i was kind of shocked.
By you finally had somebody who brought some stability to
(26:36):
an organization that has not had that for the last
twenty five thirty. Years so The Tom tibberty and Then Jalen,
brunson and you know this star player is vouching for.
HIM i definitely thought that that would weigh more. Heavily
but maybe that's not the. Case let's go to the
other side of. This you got The Oklahoma city. Thunder
there you have just looking like one of the best
teams ever on papers analytically by what they've been able to.
(26:58):
Do now that the final are, set if you're The
pacers And Eddie Eddie house is our, coach what's our
line of?
Speaker 4 (27:05):
Attack what are we? Doing how can we bring them
down to?
Speaker 9 (27:07):
Earth we're playing as fast as we can, play you
know WHAT i? MEAN i think that off makes. Missus
you gotta just push the. Basketball you gotta put them
in situations to where they got to slight their feet
because they're really a really great defensive. Team okay, obviously
because we know. That every statistics show. That so what
(27:32):
do you? Do you got to put them in a
bunch of different like you come down and you you
make sure that, okay it's early in the shot, clop
you gotta do this. Action you gotta do another. Action
you gotta defend another. Action AND i feel like that's
the only way that you could beat this, team because
(27:54):
that's when you look at. It when you are a
great defensive, team usually those are the team teams that
win the. Championship when you are a great.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
Defense, team do you expect like a long series or
is THIS i, mean some people are thinking a gentleman
sweep that The pacers really don't have a shot where
You i'm about there right, now or on on how
the series plays.
Speaker 9 (28:16):
OUT i think it could. BE i don't think it's
gonna be as easy as everybody thinks it's gonna. BE
i think it could be a six or seven game.
SERIES i think it's gonna go to the sixth at
least because the way The pacers. PLAY i think That
Rick carlisle is a great. Coach he can make adjustments
on the fly within the. Game so this is the.
(28:40):
Thing sometimes you have to make adjustments within the game
and you have to make adjustments after the. Game AND
i think that he's a great coach at doing both
of those. Things SO i look at it as you,
know a six to seven game, series and and if
it goes to seven, games it could go. Anywhere six
(29:00):
Games i'm looking at ok see winning in six? Games.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Yep my, Thing, eddie WHEN i look at this series
IS i think a key thing for me is gonna
Be Tyre's halliburton understanding being aggressive at all. Times just
ain't the series where he can kind of you, know,
Wait AND i love the way he played that's kind
of more of a traditional point. Guard but just the
way that defense of the thunder and the way they
go at you AND, sga you, know just just mark thirty.
Points just put thirty on the board already for. HIM
(29:26):
i Think tyree's is gonna be one of those series
where he's gonna have to do more than maybe his
ENTIRE nba career every single, NIGHT.
Speaker 9 (29:35):
I agree with you with or what he's going to
have to do more and more doesn't mean. Scoring more
has to mean maybe a little bit of scoring and
maybe a little bit more of decision making and putting
other guys in position, to you, know for them to.
Score because the one THING i can tell you is
(29:55):
that is That i've NEVER i don't WANT i look
at The Indiana. Pacers they they're not a team that
is one guy, Dominant like he comes, down he makes,
plays and then they make another, play and then they
make another, play and Then god get, downhill and then
when don get, downhill and then you look out And
(30:16):
Miles turner is on a three point line and he's
able to shoot the. Three SO i DON'T i wouldn't
put it on all On. HALLIBURTON i think that is
just about playing the right, way AND i think that
they do play the right. Way and also coaching is
going to come into in, effect no.
Speaker 4 (30:37):
Doubt well we'll wait and, see.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
Man if they Start thursday THE Nba, Finals Eddie house and,

Speaker 4 (33:05):

Speaker 1 (33:26):
That, listen, Listen i've had to interview people you mentioned.
In my wife AND i own a small business us
to have a store out here In La The Glendale.
Galleria if you, know if you, know point is you
interview people, right and everybody's resume is gonna say the same.
Thing to your, Point, Rogie i'm gonna work. Hard i'm
dedicated and one of the best to every. Day i'm
really just looking for a place WHERE i can feel.
COMING i, MEAN i get it into doing what they're
(33:46):
supposed to. Do but anytime you have a chance to
stand out without being, ridiculous without being, disrespectful without being,
lude being, unique being, DIFFERENT i think you go for.
IT i think it's to your. APPROACH i think it
can be, stylistically maybe you dress.
Speaker 4 (34:00):
Again.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
Now it's, risky, RIGHT i Think rob would. Agree it's
a risky thing when you when you try to mix
it up too, Much but it is a thing that
can help you stand. Out and as somebody who mentors
a lot of, People rob, you the two you you,
you you educate them on finding something to differentiate. Yourself
you know WHAT i. Mean everybody's just, HEY i went
to the, SCHOOL i did this. Internship please give me a.
Job you gotta find them to differentiate.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
YOURSELF i THINK i told you WHEN i did, mine
WHEN i was getting out of, COLLEGE i did a
newspaper AND i wrote three stories a picture you, like
a like a one sheet newspaper about.
Speaker 4 (34:33):
Myself nice to be able to give to the javacruiters or.
Speaker 3 (34:37):
Whatever and one of the javacuiters said to, me he,
Said i'm first of, all you're the buzz of the
convention of the. Conference he, says all the recruiters are
talking about you because nobody had ever seen like a
cover sheet where it was like a newspapersper The Rob Parker.
RECORDER i still have, it which is unbelievable from. College
and he, said you took a big. Chance he, said
(34:57):
if this was poorly, done if it wasn't you you know.
Speaker 4 (35:00):
WHAT i, Mean, yeah it's a big. Miss he.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
Said it could have been a big miss if you
was like this, guy look at the eras in the
typos or you know WHAT i, mean the grammar or.
Whatever he. Said but it was really well done and
that's why you got a lot of. Attention SO i
do think that that has something to do with me
when it came time for standing, out AND i had
five job offers WHEN i got out of.
Speaker 4 (35:21):
College that's put that's a.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
Lot that was definitely a lot AND i think that
goes to the, point, right because everybody else is the same. Thing,
Hey i'm looking for a. JOB i want to be
a REPORT i work. HARD i went to this, SCHOOL
i went to this, college, Right, okay, great and you
know just from working conventions will be In cleveland AND
Abj National, Association, like don't be, Long i'll tell you.
Speaker 3 (35:39):
That.
Speaker 1 (35:39):
Yeah and it's just one of those things you want
to find a way to just got to have a
little something something to you when you. Can because imagine
somebody who has fifty one hundred, applications they don't know
what ninety percent of, them eighty percent looked the same same.
Qualifications it's, like how DO i really make a. DIFFERENCE
i don't know how to who DO i? Pick and
it comes down, to, oh, man remember that kid INN
(36:01):
abj who the way they, spoke or they had a
different they had the newspaper or resume or and the
way they, spoke or a, MAN i love, you it's
really nice bow tie. On it just stood all that's the.
Kid or you found out your boat from The midwest
and you were able to hit it off. THERE i
always tell people find something you can build some, uh you, know,
camaraderie build, rapport something, familiar because those things will separate.
(36:25):
Yourself otherwise you canna look just like everybody, else sound
like everybody, else and the niggas like they can.
Speaker 4 (36:28):
Close their eyes and just pick. Somebody. Uh you do
not want to be that.
Speaker 3 (36:32):
Guy you don't want to be in the every body's
doing the same, thing, Ben.
Speaker 1 (36:36):
And it's hard not to because that's what you've almost
been trained to, do, right, dude do. This this is
how you. Get you give a nice, resume wear your
nice dad's black or brown, suit and you.
Speaker 4 (36:44):
Do and you blue suit and you do.
Speaker 1 (36:46):
That and and for, me the big jumping off moment
was when it was at a conference and ABJ i
had that moment where my my real was different than everyone,
else AND i didn't know it was gonna be good
BECAUSE i was, LIKE i don't have the same traditional
format as everyone. Else and she said the same, thing
looked at my real smirks rewatches it and, goes that
was the best Reel i've seen all. Week And i'm, Like,
(37:07):

Real and her point, was yours was. Different everyone else
like the exact same. Formula stand, up do this boom,
Interview stand up this boom. Interview she's, like yours are.
Different you took me, here you took me. There we,
laughed we, thought we. Cried she's like any was refreshing

back it.
Speaker 10 (37:27):
