Rob and Kelvin debate all the pushback Mr. Parker has been receiving regarding Mentee Night at Magic City and argue whether LeBron James is still worth the headache that will inevitably come his way when he joins his next team in free agency.

I thought it was you know, you were supposed to
do that as a Hall of Famer of the National
Association of insert race here Journalism. And if you're a
(02:25):
hall of Famer, your job is to lead the next
wave of journalists the dark curtain onto the dark stage,
sitting around.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
The DNA be dark. What you're saying about that is there?
I mean, how you know he wasn't that got to
be racist? How do you say magic? We hear you
on the air right now. I know, gosh, what do
you know?
Speaker 5 (02:49):

Speaker 1 (03:25):
Okay, I'm like Rob he might not have a flyer
maid what but it would have just been a text
that would address it.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Might be a whisper.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Rob over here, get your T shirt, Get Rob Rob.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
I don't even understand why all the good that I do,
oh gosh, and none of it seems to know.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Don't even bring the violins, Alex, bring him.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
All I've ever done was try to help the next generation.
Like that's my calling, Like you.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
Know, like your dad and Rob g you're dad and
Alex whatever, conspiracy exactly. But all I've tried to do
since I'm sans kids is trying to help the next generation.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
I'm still heavy on the allegedly sayings kids thing. I
think there's a thirty two year old.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
You don't think I wanted to take my son to
his first script club. Of course I did.
Speaker 5 (04:22):
Strawberry Parker was gonna be at the stage making it rain,
but I didn't know I.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Was gonna meet too generations to Parker men.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
But the idea that there's something wrong with going to
a legitimate business and establishments not the end.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Of the whoa whoa, whoa whoa. Don't fast forward past that,
just say it.
Speaker 6 (04:43):
Where's my bra that you wanted to be like Lebron
at the club.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
But my son, Yo, Alex, He's sounded like he was
taking them to Applebee's.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
I wanted to break bread with these young men that's
going to break bread and imagine T shirts like a team.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
I treat wear the T shirts that but they get
them forever, commemorate the moment. That's all it is. Is
your name gonna be on the shirt?
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Of course? Oh yeah, of course, Rob. How don't you
get Mint teen night? Not Mint tna night? How don't
you get that?
Speaker 2 (05:17):
You know what? When when you go to a new city,
Alex helped me out.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
So you're going somewhere on a convention, you want to,
like if you were in what do we go Birmingham, Alabama?
Speaker 2 (05:29):
You do the whole bridge, and you know and and
and the.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
Civil rights movement, you know, you follow those steps when
you go to Atlanta. There's a lot of stuff down
there as well civil rights, but there's a lot of
historical things that you want to be a part of.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
And you can't go down there and experience.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
Atlanta without the idea magic city is a landmarkree and
that we have magic City Monday here because we love
uh Magic City?
Speaker 1 (05:58):
How I got into Wei But okay, stay off the
weeds that you put me in the French WII up
on that thing. But it's all right, Rob, Nobody said
don't go. Nobody said don't go with a couple of
the homies. But to have mentee nights is wild.
Speaker 6 (06:15):
I love how you compared it to civil rights movements to.
Speaker 5 (06:19):
The king right now, mom, I want he compared it
to you trying to get people to go to church.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
I didn't even want to use that. Oh, but you
and Chris Bussar and invite people to church and pray
exactly and make them feel a little weird, like nobody
has ever weird.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
I can't say no. He's invited me to tru for
two years, right, you ain't came yet. Day Worship and
Magic City too.
Speaker 6 (06:43):
Just something now, Calvin, you're putting the beast guy, put
her on the pole mit.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
We're both making donations. We are rob g. Can you
see him now?
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Anyway? So anyway, this is what you need to do
in journalism. You ma like your mentor about. This is
how I throw my ones now. Normally I like to
get a vertical angle to almost like a picture. Here's
sports for your sports journalists one on one, And sometimes
I use a screwball when I want to get it.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Right there so that it doesn't hit the ground. You
know what I mean?
Speaker 6 (07:14):
Remember, you gotta set the precedent. You gotta tip and
then you pull back.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Now here's for it. I keep a string on it
so nobody knows, and I pull it back. Okay, y'all,
will just I try. I tried to do the right thing. Try.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
I try to do the right thing to help establish
like a bond.
Speaker 7 (07:35):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
Sometimes you know, got to take people to their own
environment so that they can have a bond with you.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Especially Wait, what's their own about it? Their own? Did
you just put young black men in the box their own?
Shut up and.
Speaker 8 (07:50):
Shut up and set up and twork is crazy shop
cannot wait too? All gets ten so I could get
to the convention and get it over with.
Speaker 5 (08:02):
I mean, but I do want it over Were gonna
have a great time to over with Roby with his
stupid ass diet.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
I'm gonna go to this dumb convention and that's it.
Oh under five pictures we get that night. It was
a success. No pictures, Well.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Not not of that, but just the fact that you
have the time of your life cheesing up in there.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
All right.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
All I'm gonna say is speaking of the diet, and
I do want to give an update when Kelvin said,
I had no shot at reaching my goal where you
at one ninety six, sixteen pounds away from my goal
with five weeks to go.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Nah, I'm gonna concede that I might get you know
what I mean?
Speaker 4 (08:45):
Like five pounds away, I could get eleven pounds and
I know I can't.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
I know I can. I don't want you to.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
I think you'll find out because, Bro, if we go
down with Atlanta, some get into it and we gotta scrap.
You get a little too skinny, brouha have a little
something and you tell them.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
But but the idea that I got, that got that
that far off, you know what I mean, knock that
much weight off.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
It's impressive. I told you.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
And the best part about it is you promised that
you're not gonna put that much weight on this.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
No, no, no, I'm gonna I'm gonna change next time.
I really am. I'm not. I went crazy last year.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
And the good thing is the super Bowl is here,
so I'm not gonna eat like I did when when
we're on the road, because remember why not, because we're
not on company dime anymore.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Wait, we're not, right, rob G. When they have it here,
do they give us a pea. Yeah, okay, so they
moved to Sofi Stadium. Menteen Night is going down. You
on Google right now trying to find the place. All
I'm gonna tell.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
You is one mentee who did not get an invitation
was highly disappointed and actually offended that they didn't get one.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
No, no, no, no no.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
We know those who are going to attend are going
to have a great time.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
That's not the question. We know that.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
It's just a menteen night. This sounds crazy, all right,
and you got a logo. That's the best part about
it too. All right, let's go and no, no, that
was it right there. We'll get to Lebron Rob Now.
Speaker 5 (10:13):
We'll get to Lebron in the next segment because we
have a very unique topic regarding Lebron James. We know
his final three according to Sean Sharanya. We'll get into that,
and for whatever team that does land Lebron, there might
be more people with them than you're expecting. We'll get
into that.
Speaker 2 (10:31):

Speaker 2 (11:50):
Day will you not be here? I'm here this whole week?
Ah Man, it should have been yesterday.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Robbzi would have known. Robbzi would have foiled me at
them for my plate.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
He would he would have drove away from the birthday
party to come to the get.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Why'll be back our couple, Rob Parker Kelvina Washington on
a trash talking Tuesday, which by the way, of course,
was a spirited one. Shout to everybody who jumped in
on that. Always greatly appreciate it. Still got a lot
left in the show as well. All right, Uh Rob
g schamsho's working like crazy. He got six phones going on.
(12:27):
Uh gave us really an update on Bron, he really did.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
But first let me just say this, shame on whoever
on ESPN during what Sham's latest Sports Center hit breaking
News Donovan Mitchell would be interested in playing with Lebron James, Like,
we got to really hire the story race on what
considered breaking news, I mean or report Lebron and Draymond
Green will be hanging out this time.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
I saw that one. Now, we don't bring that one
up when you when you started.
Speaker 5 (12:54):
I don't know what we're doing anymore, but there is
a legitimate report coming out of Shaan Sharania said today
on Serious XM Radio that there is a hierarchy developing
in the Lebron James sweepstakes and it's down to three
teams Cleveland, Miami and Philadelphia.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
No, no shock, like the Warriors thing. I couldn't believe that.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
And you thought because it was La or California and
him staying for the family are yo, where are you?
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Are you shocked that the Wards are not on that list?
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Yes, that they would be out of the list, like
he could altimately end up going to Cleveland, Miami, whatever,
But I thought.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
They wul still be in the mix because of that.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
And to Robg's point, a minute ago, just like an
hour ago, I saw the Draymond and Lebron hanging.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
What does that mean this week?
Speaker 1 (13:39):
So I think we're about to be in a whirlwind
of that, like anything he does, like he did that
cryptic what was it a couple few days ago, Robbie.
You know, I'm back home or something, riding around the city,
riding and it's like he knows what he's doing, right,
Anybody hang with anything I say. If I say, hey, yo,
my favorite food Philly cheese steak.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Everybody, oh is he going to?
Speaker 1 (14:00):
So we're in that but I did think, you know,
I was looking forward to expendables that had been fun
for me.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
I told you I never bought into that. I never
thought that was an option. I really didn't because the
other thing too, Anthony Davis. There was just too many
moving parts and it didn't make sense. If you're gonna
keep playing, I'm good I could go without that. I
don't have to see that. I'm good with this. But
I'll tell you one thing, I don't even know if
(14:24):
Lebron is worth the headache and all the other stuff
that comes with it, rob GD. We also have news
that he wants to.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Do all yeah.
Speaker 5 (14:30):
Yahoo Sports reporting that wherever Lebron ends up, you know
that the perception is he's gonna have to take a
pack a massive pay cut because none of these team's
got cap space. You know, in an ideal world, they
offer him the mid level. But I think of these
three teams, none of them can even offer him the
mid level. It's like, hey, veteran minimum or five million
dollars whatever it is. So one reason, according to Yahoo Sports,
(14:50):
while Lebron is open to the idea of taking such
a massive haircut, is that he's already commissioned to have
a documentary made during his we're assuming it's his final
season in the NBA. Wherever he ends up, there will
be a camera crew following him around every step of
the way, chronicling every single day of this experience, and
(15:12):
we'll see.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
I'm cool with it. I mean, I think there's a
lot of teams that feel like they're right there. They're
a quote unquote guy away. And I don't think there's
a guy away better than the BRONC that's realistic for
league minimum, Like yeah, if hey Luca wanted to come
play on our team or Joker, yeah, but if you're
talking about a guy that's available in league minimum, and
we just saw throughout the postseason where he was the
(15:36):
best player of the Knights out there, including some against
the dag on thunt all.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
But it comes with more than that.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
I don't disagree. It's just a headache of it. And
then you got camera CU's following you around and all that.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
I don't know, team people need that they had no
publicity and you ain't talking about some of these.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Teams you're talking about. You're not talking about like the
Charlotte Hornets. What teams are you talking about have no publicity.
Miami has been.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Finals, They've been irrelevant.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
They've been to the frog twice in the last five years.
Talking about how.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Many times we talk about fans don't show up the game.
They to the finals in the last five years twice. No,
I'm not I'm not questioning that. Not the last few years,
they haven't been about anything. Yeah, but you're talking about
I'll say, Bron comes to Miami back where he left,
fans are gonna come up.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
They you all the stuff that comes with it. Please.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
They were the last time I saw Lebron there. They
were leaving these dear Marina early because they thought they.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Had lost, remember that. And they came back and they
were banging on the door to try to get back in.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
And they said, and now and now it's Lebron banging
on the door trying to get in.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
I tell him to kick Rod. Yeah, right, kick Rock.
Pat Riley and them grobbling to Lebron. James. Sure, I'll
take you for a dollar fifty. I'll take the money.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
And absolutely you know what the you know they have
done studies or what he does to economies, not just
your own team, the entire cities that make so much
money because he's there.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
If he goes to Philly.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Now you got Jaylen Brown, Lebron Edgecumbe maxi embid are
you crazy? If it goes to Miami, Jannis Bam him Wiggins.
I mean there's Automati gonna bring everybody in that whole
town is gonna be like the hope of it. And David,
you get you get to be in the last dance.
Well whatever, he's gonna call his his documentary. So I
(17:23):
think it's over soul. I get if you're saying, you
know it's gonna be six seven years and all of that.
That one year. It's like if he were like, I
want to sign a four year deal, something forty seven
or something. Okay, I got I'd be with you on
that one year. Are you kidding me? Why would they
not one year cost you three, four or five million dollars.
You're gonna make more money, gonna sell out every seat,
(17:46):
sell out businesses with bars and restaurants around. You kidding
me that year they're signing up for that long term.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
I with you. I get that, I get that it
could be a lot, but.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
One year, I don't know, And you've got a chance
to compete in the East I just.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
I don't the headache that comes with it, and then
you got to make sure the broad and his minions
and and you got to do.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
All this stuff. I just don't.
Speaker 4 (18:10):
I'm not sure if I really want to go through
all that with Lebron, and if it's worth it, if
you really think you could win a championship. Maybe, but
just want to be just to be a travel stop,
which is all it would be for for Lebron. It's
just one more, one more suitcase sticker to have.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
I don't know those teams that he If this were
the Utah, that's just such a terrible example.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
I couldn't even use that one.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Going this were okay, even the Warriors, right, people, Oh
they had no shot. Okay, if this were a handful
of teams that really don't have a shot, like, oh,
it's just great that he's there. These teams feel they
legitimately have a shot without him. Then you add somebody who,
as we just saw this past postseason, Dude, he played
against the MVP of the league, the Lakers did.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
And yeah, but eighty.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Percent of the time he was probably the best player
out there. SGA did not have a great he had
a couple of good games in the in the playoffs.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
Okay, we making a case for for what Lebron say,
and against against the uh against Okay, see.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Yes he was and against the Rockets as well.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Okay, So my point is, why would you not get
a guy that night and night out could be the
best or second best player between the two teams.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
There's nobody but well he's on He's on nobody's team
for right now.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
Nobody's running out and saying, oh my god, he's forty
two years old, going to.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Be forty two if you don't and there's all the
other stuff the phone right now.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Yeah, only because of the money.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
If he was that the player you're talking about, what
would money care? Have you really thought you could add
him and win?
Speaker 2 (19:35):
What? What would money?
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Why would you care about a salary? Nobody's gonna take
him for fifty thousand millions that he's going to have
a bunch of players that already already cost get rid
of them for Lebron. If you really thought you had
a thirty four year old Lebron, why I'm saying that, Yeah,
you'll take him as a as a as a a
minimum salary. Sure, no, you would be dumb not to
(19:58):
take him for two million dollars or whatever. What's the
minimum now, Rob you? Yeah, three point four. You would
take him for the veterans minimum.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
That's the point. That's why he's worth it. Worth at eight.
He ain't worth ahead it. Don't do it.
Speaker 11 (20:13):
Move on.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
Let Lebron just slip sliver away or go somewhere else.
Let him go back to Cleveland.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
If I'm go to Cleveland, have your little uh farewell,
that's where you started.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Do that, and let's move on.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
One more year of this and we could just get
back to the NBA like it used to be. That's
where I would be. I'm okay, he don't need to
come back to Miami. He was already in Miami. He
doesn't need to come to Philadelphia. They already got something
nice already set up.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Leave it. Too many cooks, spoil Lebron. You don't need Lebron.
You don't where. I'm saying, huh, who don't need any
of these things? Philly doesn't need it.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
And I'm saying, if you're Miami, you already down there
with that whole nonsense.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
He was down there, just like Wade left Field left Miami.
You remember he left and came back. What a disaster
that was. Yeah, way, he that was ridiculous. He ate
his quick he left.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
You remember he left for for fifty thousand dollars or
whatever it was. He was so mad at.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
The heat and and didn't take Remember he didn't make
a lot of money to go to Chicago's bite.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
He was in a fight, and then he had to
come back to.
Speaker 5 (21:19):
Chicago, went to Cleveland first three weeks and then he's like,
I'm done, I'm matter.
Speaker 7 (21:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
He being Lebron's teammate funn anymore.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
He just and he just aged. We all all that stuff.
We remember we were worried about when he was crashed
and these were broke. That's what I'm saying, when he
was crashy, you know, too much stuff. He flies around
the NBA, flying around all the time.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Yeah, all right.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven, nine, nine,
six sixty three sixty nine, Where are you?
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Is Lebron worth the headache? Well you better get some
et cric, get some advill.
Speaker 4 (21:44):
Kelvin says, yes, he'd take nine pills and overdose anything
to get Lebron on her team.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
I'm not doing it, no way. No, how, no, thank you.
I'm good. You're gonna be like man, they tied me up.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
And then he goes back to Cleveland and have fun
with your with your old stomping grounds. And they got
a spot for Bronnie.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
And then after that, Bronnie can get the popcorn going
after that, you know what I mean, like, like seriously,
the idea that they got to entice lebron by by
bringing Brownie, I mean the Cavaliers, and they're.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Say more about him like that aircus act. Now it's
a circus act. He has this much pooled in the league.
That's still crazy. It's not just that it's just a circus.
It's a circus act. Now it's embarrassing, to be honest.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
It tells you about the Cavaliers, A're not serious about winning.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
And then and these other team I didn't hear any
other team said that they had spot for Bonnie.

the Cavs are what he's here. He called it a
hierarchy of teams left for Lebron. Uh I said, it's

Speaker 2 (25:37):
It's the problem. Let it go.
Speaker 5 (25:39):
Go.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
Hold, get a rocking chair here. You let me ask
you this Kel is the only one who wants to
see the golden guys on the NBA. I'm not even
mad if you said it's a young man, that's a fact.
I agree with you.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
How come the old dude is better than ninety five percent?
Speaker 2 (25:55):
As he asked the problem, you're kidding yourself. I'm sorry.
Are y'all not watching the games? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (26:02):
Wait, I am, because I'm not watching one hand, you're
just watching.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
It's easier to score in the NBA.
Speaker 4 (26:07):
You don't look at the plus minus and what he
does on the other side.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
You act like you watch the postseason. I'm telling you
what what Len?
Speaker 2 (26:15):
When you watch the.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Postseason plus minuses all these twenty year old dudes who
I'm with you should be better than him.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
I'm absolutely with you.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
There's no way on God's green Earth he's supposed to
be beating them. I'm with you. It don't make sense.
But when you see what you're seeing, did you're like,
he's still better than him. He still better than him,
So better than.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
That, better than ninety five percent of players?
Speaker 1 (26:36):
You must be crazy, David four hundred and fifty dudes,
David in DC, you're on the odd couple of Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
What's up, David?
Speaker 13 (26:42):
Hey, Hey, Robbin Calvin, thanks for taking my call.
Speaker 7 (26:45):
No doubt a Kelvin, No disrespect, bro, but Lebron is
not worth it at all. And you know what, man,
these people.
Speaker 13 (26:53):
Are obsessed with Michael Jordan's that they want to do
a Last Dance style documentary, right, that's what they're trying
to do. Because you can remember, rob when the Last
Dance came out, those people within the.
Speaker 11 (27:03):
Prog camp thought that the Last Dance was like upstaging them,
you know, when they aired and it was kind of
around the time of the bubble and stuff like that,
but because really ESPN was struggling with ratings in the
Last Dance kind of save of doing COVID.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Oh yeah, we all watched it. Now we used to
watch it and talk about it.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
The whole week on the show was So you're trying
to tell me you would take tequila over bourbon, Wela,
We were taking anything in that. So you don't like cigars,
so you don't want to smoke a cigar. Yeah, we
needed that. We were desperate out here in.
Speaker 7 (27:34):
These streets document everything. It just like him trying to
do Space Jams over again. These people are obsessed with
Michael jordans Man and that documenty. No team wants to
put up with that man. It's over, man.
Speaker 13 (27:45):
Get a ten day contractor one day contractor that's it.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
There. You go.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
Appreciate the call, David. I'm no doubt Andre in Massachusetts.
You're on the couple of Fox Sports Radio. What's up, Dre,
How you doing?
Speaker 12 (27:58):
Thanks for taking the call. I'm all about noise, the
drama of the circus that surrounds Lebron James.
Speaker 10 (28:04):
He needs it, you.
Speaker 12 (28:05):
Know, He's all about controlling the narrative and boosting his
Q rating. But I feel it has to be a
franchise where again he can be the center of attention.
So that's why I think Cleveland is where this is
eventually going to end up. Situation in Miami. Not only
is pat Riley an adult and runs a tight ship
and he's not going to allow for the Shenanigans, but
he's not going to be the brightest star in Miami. Okay,
(28:25):
that's reserved for Yannis. It's his team. And clearly Lebron
has difficulty when he is not the center of attention
at all times, right, because he could have easily retired
in the City of Angels with the Lakers trying to
help them move forward to a championship. But again, he
wasn't going to be Batman, couldn't stand to be Robin,
and so now we have this kind of circus effect.
So I think for Cleveland a team that right, they
(28:47):
won a lot of games analytically in the playoffs, but
not actually Okay, so they're looking, they're searching for something.
So Lebron comes in. He'll help them have the experience
compete for a championship. And there's a smaller market they
could certainly use all the hooplah that that surrounds the
Lebron James show. So I think Cleveland's spot.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Thanks taking the call, all right, appreciate you.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
Hey, christ and Sacramento. You're in the odd couple of
Fox Sports Radio. What's up, Chris?
Speaker 2 (29:13):
How are you? I'm good?
Speaker 11 (29:15):
Bro?
Speaker 2 (29:16):
Are you doing great? Are you kidding? Man? Great?
Speaker 10 (29:20):
Yeah, that's great.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Man.
Speaker 12 (29:22):
So I agree with one of y'all.
Speaker 7 (29:24):
But man, Lebron's would retire. Lebron would easily retire as
he knew he didn't having the more.
Speaker 13 (29:31):
But that is better than ninety five percent of the league.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
True, that's says he's that good. He was that good.
Speaker 10 (29:40):
Unfortunately he's that he's not reliable.
Speaker 11 (29:43):
He's dedicated his body.
Speaker 10 (29:46):
Why this stuff?
Speaker 2 (29:47):
So, oh, hey, we gotta Chris.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
You gotta bet you got a bag if he was
over here, like give him the league, like give him
a chance, rock, give him much hands.
Speaker 6 (29:57):
Him over the Lebron Jersey was talking to.
Speaker 4 (29:59):
I know, but you know what, I heard him lacing
up his Jordans as he was saying, all, oh a
big fact.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
Someone, Now Jordan's go there with the shoes.
Speaker 10 (30:06):
Rob.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
He said, exactly what I said, he's not supposed to.
I who wouldn't want him to be going forty something
years old. The problem is he gets in the playoffs,
he wins a series, and he's like, well, why would
I go away? I'm still better than so many of
these dudes. That's the trouble. We got another one. No,
I'm not, you're done the way they ended on the call,
somebody speaking some sense to you. No, no, no, we
(30:27):
couldn't hear them, so we heard him. It's null and
boyd we heard him. You know, Elijah and Allison and
Rob Dale talented over there. They can like even amplify
that even more

I thought it was you know, you were supposed to
do that as a Hall of Famer of the National
Association of insert race here Journalism. And if you're a
(02:25):
hall of Famer, your job is to lead the next
wave of journalists the dark curtain onto the dark stage,
sitting around.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
The DNA be dark. What you're saying about that is there?
I mean, how you know he wasn't that got to
be racist? How do you say magic? We hear you
on the air right now. I know, gosh, what do
you know?
Speaker 5 (02:49):
What? We could have went to the one from from
dust till Dawn. I can't say the name on the
air but because it's inappropriate, but we could have done that.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Why do you you know? I'm mad at your trash.
Let me try. You should help me in this trash.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
And Rob G, after all these years of him knowing you,

you just don't.
Speaker 2 (03:21):

Speaker 1 (03:25):
Okay, I'm like Rob he might not have a flyer
maid what but it would have just been a text
that would address it.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Might be a whisper.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Rob over here, get your T shirt, Get Rob Rob.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
I don't even understand why all the good that I do,
oh gosh, and none of it seems to know.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Don't even bring the violins, Alex, bring him.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
All I've ever done was try to help the next generation.
Like that's my calling, Like you.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
Know, like your dad and Rob g you're dad and
Alex whatever, conspiracy exactly. But all I've tried to do
since I'm sans kids is trying to help the next generation.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
I'm still heavy on the allegedly sayings kids thing. I
think there's a thirty two year old.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
You don't think I wanted to take my son to
his first script club. Of course I did.
Speaker 5 (04:22):
Strawberry Parker was gonna be at the stage making it rain,
but I didn't know I.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Was gonna meet too generations to Parker men.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
But the idea that there's something wrong with going to
a legitimate business and establishments not the end.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Of the whoa whoa, whoa whoa. Don't fast forward past that,
just say it.
Speaker 6 (04:43):
Where's my bra that you wanted to be like Lebron
at the club.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
But my son, Yo, Alex, He's sounded like he was
taking them to Applebee's.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
I wanted to break bread with these young men that's
going to break bread and imagine T shirts like a team.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
I treat wear the T shirts that but they get
them forever, commemorate the moment. That's all it is. Is
your name gonna be on the shirt?
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Of course? Oh yeah, of course, Rob. How don't you
get Mint teen night? Not Mint tna night? How don't
you get that?
Speaker 2 (05:17):
You know what? When when you go to a new city,
Alex helped me out.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
So you're going somewhere on a convention, you want to,
like if you were in what do we go Birmingham, Alabama?
Speaker 2 (05:29):
You do the whole bridge, and you know and and
and the.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
Civil rights movement, you know, you follow those steps when
you go to Atlanta. There's a lot of stuff down
there as well civil rights, but there's a lot of
historical things that you want to be a part of.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
And you can't go down there and experience.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
Atlanta without the idea magic city is a landmarkree and
that we have magic City Monday here because we love
uh Magic City?
Speaker 1 (05:58):
How I got into Wei But okay, stay off the
weeds that you put me in the French WII up
on that thing. But it's all right, Rob, Nobody said
don't go. Nobody said don't go with a couple of
the homies. But to have mentee nights is wild.
Speaker 6 (06:15):
I love how you compared it to civil rights movements to.
Speaker 5 (06:19):
The king right now, mom, I want he compared it
to you trying to get people to go to church.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
I didn't even want to use that. Oh, but you
and Chris Bussar and invite people to church and pray
exactly and make them feel a little weird, like nobody
has ever weird.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
I can't say no. He's invited me to tru for
two years, right, you ain't came yet. Day Worship and
Magic City too.
Speaker 6 (06:43):
Just something now, Calvin, you're putting the beast guy, put
her on the pole mit.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
We're both making donations. We are rob g. Can you
see him now?
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Anyway? So anyway, this is what you need to do
in journalism. You ma like your mentor about. This is
how I throw my ones now. Normally I like to
get a vertical angle to almost like a picture. Here's
sports for your sports journalists one on one, And sometimes
I use a screwball when I want to get it.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Right there so that it doesn't hit the ground. You
know what I mean?
Speaker 6 (07:14):
Remember, you gotta set the precedent. You gotta tip and
then you pull back.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Now here's for it. I keep a string on it
so nobody knows, and I pull it back. Okay, y'all,
will just I try. I tried to do the right thing. Try.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
I try to do the right thing to help establish
like a bond.
Speaker 7 (07:35):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
Sometimes you know, got to take people to their own
environment so that they can have a bond with you.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Especially Wait, what's their own about it? Their own? Did
you just put young black men in the box their own?
Shut up and.
Speaker 8 (07:50):
Shut up and set up and twork is crazy shop
cannot wait too? All gets ten so I could get
to the convention and get it over with.
Speaker 5 (08:02):
I mean, but I do want it over Were gonna
have a great time to over with Roby with his
stupid ass diet.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
I'm gonna go to this dumb convention and that's it.
Oh under five pictures we get that night. It was
a success. No pictures, Well.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Not not of that, but just the fact that you
have the time of your life cheesing up in there.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
All right.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
All I'm gonna say is speaking of the diet, and
I do want to give an update when Kelvin said,
I had no shot at reaching my goal where you
at one ninety six, sixteen pounds away from my goal
with five weeks to go.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Nah, I'm gonna concede that I might get you know
what I mean?
Speaker 4 (08:45):
Like five pounds away, I could get eleven pounds and
I know I can't.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
I know I can. I don't want you to.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
I think you'll find out because, Bro, if we go
down with Atlanta, some get into it and we gotta scrap.
You get a little too skinny, brouha have a little
something and you tell them.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
But but the idea that I got, that got that
that far off, you know what I mean, knock that
much weight off.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
It's impressive. I told you.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
And the best part about it is you promised that
you're not gonna put that much weight on this.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
No, no, no, I'm gonna I'm gonna change next time.
I really am. I'm not. I went crazy last year.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
And the good thing is the super Bowl is here,
so I'm not gonna eat like I did when when
we're on the road, because remember why not, because we're
not on company dime anymore.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Wait, we're not, right, rob G. When they have it here,
do they give us a pea. Yeah, okay, so they
moved to Sofi Stadium. Menteen Night is going down. You
on Google right now trying to find the place. All
I'm gonna tell.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
You is one mentee who did not get an invitation
was highly disappointed and actually offended that they didn't get one.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
No, no, no, no no.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
We know those who are going to attend are going
to have a great time.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
That's not the question. We know that.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
It's just a menteen night. This sounds crazy, all right,
and you got a logo. That's the best part about
it too. All right, let's go and no, no, that
was it right there. We'll get to Lebron Rob Now.
Speaker 5 (10:13):

have a very unique topic regarding Lebron James. We know
his final three according to Sean Sharanya. We'll get into that,

be more people with them than you're expecting. We'll get
into that.

Speaker 2 (11:50):
Day will you not be here? I'm here this whole week?
Ah Man, it should have been yesterday.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Robbzi would have known. Robbzi would have foiled me at
them for my plate.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
He would he would have drove away from the birthday
party to come to the get.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Why'll be back our couple, Rob Parker Kelvina Washington on
a trash talking Tuesday, which by the way, of course,
was a spirited one. Shout to everybody who jumped in
on that. Always greatly appreciate it. Still got a lot
left in the show as well. All right, Uh Rob
g schamsho's working like crazy. He got six phones going on.
(12:27):
Uh gave us really an update on Bron, he really did.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
But first let me just say this, shame on whoever
on ESPN during what Sham's latest Sports Center hit breaking
News Donovan Mitchell would be interested in playing with Lebron James, Like,
we got to really hire the story race on what
considered breaking news, I mean or report Lebron and Draymond
Green will be hanging out this time.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
I saw that one. Now, we don't bring that one
up when you when you started.
Speaker 5 (12:54):
I don't know what we're doing anymore, but there is
a legitimate report coming out of Shaan Sharania said today
on Serious XM Radio that there is a hierarchy developing
in the Lebron James sweepstakes and it's down to three
teams Cleveland, Miami and Philadelphia.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
No, no shock, like the Warriors thing. I couldn't believe that.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
And you thought because it was La or California and
him staying for the family are yo, where are you?
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Are you shocked that the Wards are not on that list?
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Yes, that they would be out of the list, like
he could altimately end up going to Cleveland, Miami, whatever,
But I thought.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
They wul still be in the mix because of that.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
And to Robg's point, a minute ago, just like an
hour ago, I saw the Draymond and Lebron hanging.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
What does that mean this week?
Speaker 1 (13:39):
So I think we're about to be in a whirlwind
of that, like anything he does, like he did that
cryptic what was it a couple few days ago, Robbie.
You know, I'm back home or something, riding around the city,
riding and it's like he knows what he's doing, right,
Anybody hang with anything I say. If I say, hey, yo,
my favorite food Philly cheese steak.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Everybody, oh is he going to?
Speaker 1 (14:00):
So we're in that but I did think, you know,
I was looking forward to expendables that had been fun
for me.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
I told you I never bought into that. I never
thought that was an option. I really didn't because the
other thing too, Anthony Davis. There was just too many
moving parts and it didn't make sense. If you're gonna
keep playing, I'm good I could go without that. I
don't have to see that. I'm good with this. But
I'll tell you one thing, I don't even know if
(14:24):
Lebron is worth the headache and all the other stuff
that comes with it, rob GD. We also have news
that he wants to.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Do all yeah.
Speaker 5 (14:30):
Yahoo Sports reporting that wherever Lebron ends up, you know
that the perception is he's gonna have to take a
pack a massive pay cut because none of these team's
got cap space. You know, in an ideal world, they
offer him the mid level. But I think of these
three teams, none of them can even offer him the
mid level. It's like, hey, veteran minimum or five million
dollars whatever it is. So one reason, according to Yahoo Sports,
(14:50):
while Lebron is open to the idea of taking such
a massive haircut, is that he's already commissioned to have
a documentary made during his we're assuming it's his final
season in the NBA. Wherever he ends up, there will
be a camera crew following him around every step of
the way, chronicling every single day of this experience, and
(15:12):
we'll see.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
I'm cool with it. I mean, I think there's a
lot of teams that feel like they're right there. They're
a quote unquote guy away. And I don't think there's
a guy away better than the BRONC that's realistic for
league minimum, Like yeah, if hey Luca wanted to come
play on our team or Joker, yeah, but if you're
talking about a guy that's available in league minimum, and
we just saw throughout the postseason where he was the
(15:36):
best player of the Knights out there, including some against
the dag on thunt all.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
But it comes with more than that.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
I don't disagree. It's just a headache of it. And
then you got camera CU's following you around and all that.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
I don't know, team people need that they had no
publicity and you ain't talking about some of these.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Teams you're talking about. You're not talking about like the
Charlotte Hornets. What teams are you talking about have no publicity.
Miami has been.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Finals, They've been irrelevant.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
They've been to the frog twice in the last five years.
Talking about how.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Many times we talk about fans don't show up the game.
They to the finals in the last five years twice. No,
I'm not I'm not questioning that. Not the last few years,
they haven't been about anything. Yeah, but you're talking about
I'll say, Bron comes to Miami back where he left,
fans are gonna come up.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
They you all the stuff that comes with it. Please.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
They were the last time I saw Lebron there. They
were leaving these dear Marina early because they thought they.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Had lost, remember that. And they came back and they
were banging on the door to try to get back in.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
And they said, and now and now it's Lebron banging
on the door trying to get in.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
I tell him to kick Rod. Yeah, right, kick Rock.
Pat Riley and them grobbling to Lebron. James. Sure, I'll
take you for a dollar fifty. I'll take the money.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
And absolutely you know what the you know they have
done studies or what he does to economies, not just
your own team, the entire cities that make so much
money because he's there.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
If he goes to Philly.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Now you got Jaylen Brown, Lebron Edgecumbe maxi embid are
you crazy? If it goes to Miami, Jannis Bam him Wiggins.
I mean there's Automati gonna bring everybody in that whole
town is gonna be like the hope of it. And David,
you get you get to be in the last dance.
Well whatever, he's gonna call his his documentary. So I
(17:23):
think it's over soul. I get if you're saying, you
know it's gonna be six seven years and all of that.
That one year. It's like if he were like, I
want to sign a four year deal, something forty seven
or something. Okay, I got I'd be with you on
that one year. Are you kidding me? Why would they
not one year cost you three, four or five million dollars.
You're gonna make more money, gonna sell out every seat,
(17:46):
sell out businesses with bars and restaurants around. You kidding
me that year they're signing up for that long term.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
I with you. I get that, I get that it
could be a lot, but.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
One year, I don't know, And you've got a chance
to compete in the East I just.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
I don't the headache that comes with it, and then
you got to make sure the broad and his minions
and and you got to do.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
All this stuff. I just don't.
Speaker 4 (18:10):
I'm not sure if I really want to go through
all that with Lebron, and if it's worth it, if
you really think you could win a championship. Maybe, but
just want to be just to be a travel stop,
which is all it would be for for Lebron. It's
just one more, one more suitcase sticker to have.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
I don't know those teams that he If this were
the Utah, that's just such a terrible example.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
I couldn't even use that one.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Going this were okay, even the Warriors, right, people, Oh
they had no shot. Okay, if this were a handful
of teams that really don't have a shot, like, oh,
it's just great that he's there. These teams feel they
legitimately have a shot without him. Then you add somebody who,
as we just saw this past postseason, Dude, he played
against the MVP of the league, the Lakers did.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
And yeah, but eighty.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Percent of the time he was probably the best player
out there. SGA did not have a great he had
a couple of good games in the in the playoffs.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
Okay, we making a case for for what Lebron say,
and against against the uh against Okay, see.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Yes he was and against the Rockets as well.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Okay, So my point is, why would you not get
a guy that night and night out could be the
best or second best player between the two teams.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
There's nobody but well he's on He's on nobody's team
for right now.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
Nobody's running out and saying, oh my god, he's forty
two years old, going to.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Be forty two if you don't and there's all the
other stuff the phone right now.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Yeah, only because of the money.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
If he was that the player you're talking about, what
would money care? Have you really thought you could add
him and win?
Speaker 2 (19:35):
What? What would money?
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Why would you care about a salary? Nobody's gonna take
him for fifty thousand millions that he's going to have
a bunch of players that already already cost get rid
of them for Lebron. If you really thought you had
a thirty four year old Lebron, why I'm saying that, Yeah,
you'll take him as a as a as a a
minimum salary. Sure, no, you would be dumb not to
(19:58):
take him for two million dollars or whatever. What's the
minimum now, Rob you? Yeah, three point four. You would
take him for the veterans minimum.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
That's the point. That's why he's worth it. Worth at eight.
He ain't worth ahead it. Don't do it.
Speaker 11 (20:13):
Move on.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
Let Lebron just slip sliver away or go somewhere else.
Let him go back to Cleveland.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
If I'm go to Cleveland, have your little uh farewell,
that's where you started.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Do that, and let's move on.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
One more year of this and we could just get
back to the NBA like it used to be. That's
where I would be. I'm okay, he don't need to
come back to Miami. He was already in Miami. He
doesn't need to come to Philadelphia. They already got something
nice already set up.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Leave it. Too many cooks, spoil Lebron. You don't need Lebron.
You don't where. I'm saying, huh, who don't need any
of these things? Philly doesn't need it.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
And I'm saying, if you're Miami, you already down there
with that whole nonsense.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
He was down there, just like Wade left Field left Miami.
You remember he left and came back. What a disaster
that was. Yeah, way, he that was ridiculous. He ate
his quick he left.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
You remember he left for for fifty thousand dollars or
whatever it was. He was so mad at.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
The heat and and didn't take Remember he didn't make
a lot of money to go to Chicago's bite.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
He was in a fight, and then he had to
come back to.
Speaker 5 (21:19):
Chicago, went to Cleveland first three weeks and then he's like,
I'm done, I'm matter.
Speaker 7 (21:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
He being Lebron's teammate funn anymore.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
He just and he just aged. We all all that stuff.
We remember we were worried about when he was crashed
and these were broke. That's what I'm saying, when he
was crashy, you know, too much stuff. He flies around
the NBA, flying around all the time.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Yeah, all right.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven, nine, nine,
six sixty three sixty nine, Where are you?
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Is Lebron worth the headache? Well you better get some
et cric, get some advill.
Speaker 4 (21:44):
Kelvin says, yes, he'd take nine pills and overdose anything
to get Lebron on her team.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
I'm not doing it, no way. No, how, no, thank you.
I'm good. You're gonna be like man, they tied me up.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
And then he goes back to Cleveland and have fun
with your with your old stomping grounds. And they got
a spot for Bronnie.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
And then after that, Bronnie can get the popcorn going
after that, you know what I mean, like, like seriously,
the idea that they got to entice lebron by by
bringing Brownie, I mean the Cavaliers, and they're.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Say more about him like that aircus act. Now it's
a circus act. He has this much pooled in the league.
That's still crazy. It's not just that it's just a circus.
It's a circus act. Now it's embarrassing, to be honest.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
It tells you about the Cavaliers, A're not serious about winning.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
And then and these other team I didn't hear any
other team said that they had spot for Bonnie.
Speaker 1 (22:39):

Speaker 2 (25:39):
Hold, get a rocking chair here. You let me ask
you this Kel is the only one who wants to
see the golden guys on the NBA. I'm not even
mad if you said it's a young man, that's a fact.
I agree with you.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
How come the old dude is better than ninety five percent?
Speaker 2 (25:55):
As he asked the problem, you're kidding yourself. I'm sorry.
Are y'all not watching the games? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (26:02):
Wait, I am, because I'm not watching one hand, you're
just watching.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
It's easier to score in the NBA.
Speaker 4 (26:07):
You don't look at the plus minus and what he
does on the other side.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
You act like you watch the postseason. I'm telling you
what what Len?
Speaker 2 (26:15):
When you watch the.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Postseason plus minuses all these twenty year old dudes who
I'm with you should be better than him.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
I'm absolutely with you.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
There's no way on God's green Earth he's supposed to
be beating them. I'm with you. It don't make sense.
But when you see what you're seeing, did you're like,
he's still better than him. He still better than him,
So better than.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
That, better than ninety five percent of players?
Speaker 1 (26:36):
You must be crazy, David four hundred and fifty dudes,
David in DC, you're on the odd couple of Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
What's up, David?
Speaker 13 (26:42):
Hey, Hey, Robbin Calvin, thanks for taking my call.
Speaker 7 (26:45):
No doubt a Kelvin, No disrespect, bro, but Lebron is
not worth it at all. And you know what, man,
these people.
Speaker 13 (26:53):
Are obsessed with Michael Jordan's that they want to do
a Last Dance style documentary, right, that's what they're trying
to do. Because you can remember, rob when the Last
Dance came out, those people within the.
Speaker 11 (27:03):
Prog camp thought that the Last Dance was like upstaging them,
you know, when they aired and it was kind of
around the time of the bubble and stuff like that,
but because really ESPN was struggling with ratings in the
Last Dance kind of save of doing COVID.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Oh yeah, we all watched it. Now we used to
watch it and talk about it.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
The whole week on the show was So you're trying
to tell me you would take tequila over bourbon, Wela,
We were taking anything in that. So you don't like cigars,
so you don't want to smoke a cigar. Yeah, we
needed that. We were desperate out here in.
Speaker 7 (27:34):
These streets document everything. It just like him trying to
do Space Jams over again. These people are obsessed with
Michael jordans Man and that documenty. No team wants to
put up with that man. It's over, man.
Speaker 13 (27:45):
Get a ten day contractor one day contractor that's it.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
There. You go.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
Appreciate the call, David. I'm no doubt Andre in Massachusetts.
You're on the couple of Fox Sports Radio. What's up, Dre,
How you doing?
Speaker 12 (27:58):
Thanks for taking the call. I'm all about noise, the
drama of the circus that surrounds Lebron James.
Speaker 10 (28:04):
He needs it, you.
Speaker 12 (28:05):
Know, He's all about controlling the narrative and boosting his
Q rating. But I feel it has to be a
franchise where again he can be the center of attention.
So that's why I think Cleveland is where this is
eventually going to end up. Situation in Miami. Not only
is pat Riley an adult and runs a tight ship
and he's not going to allow for the Shenanigans, but
he's not going to be the brightest star in Miami. Okay,
(28:25):
that's reserved for Yannis. It's his team. And clearly Lebron
has difficulty when he is not the center of attention
at all times, right, because he could have easily retired
in the City of Angels with the Lakers trying to
help them move forward to a championship. But again, he
wasn't going to be Batman, couldn't stand to be Robin,
and so now we have this kind of circus effect.
So I think for Cleveland a team that right, they
(28:47):
won a lot of games analytically in the playoffs, but
not actually Okay, so they're looking, they're searching for something.
So Lebron comes in. He'll help them have the experience
compete for a championship. And there's a smaller market they
could certainly use all the hooplah that that surrounds the
Lebron James show. So I think Cleveland's spot.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Thanks taking the call, all right, appreciate you.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
Hey, christ and Sacramento. You're in the odd couple of
Fox Sports Radio. What's up, Chris?
Speaker 2 (29:13):
How are you? I'm good?
Speaker 11 (29:15):
Bro?
Speaker 2 (29:16):
Are you doing great? Are you kidding? Man? Great?
Speaker 10 (29:20):
Yeah, that's great.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Man.
Speaker 12 (29:22):
So I agree with one of y'all.
Speaker 7 (29:24):
But man, Lebron's would retire. Lebron would easily retire as
he knew he didn't having the more.
Speaker 13 (29:31):
But that is better than ninety five percent of the league.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
