Speaker 6 (07:19):
Yeah, fifty thousand dollars suspension from the NBA for Anthony
Edwards due to inappropriate language and obscene gestures towards a
fan during their Game one win over the Lakers. When
was that Saturday night?
Speaker 7 (07:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Yeah, and NBA not surprised when I saw the video.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Vulgar, just ridiculous, And this is further proof.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
I know he had a national Spike TV commercial and
for Christmas time and all that, but he will not
Anthony Edwards will not nt beat the face of the NBA.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Okay, this kind of behavior is ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
And it's not even like juvenile like you say, well,
he's a young This is like we you're grabbing your
body parts and talking about, uh, your body.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Parts in public to fans.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Really, that's the guy I want to be the face
of my organization holding his organ as. He's the face
of the organizations.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
Organs right now, organ organization anything you want to He's
playing organ.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
I'm just like, I'm flabbergasted. I'm not trying to be
uh hey, you kids, get off my long guy.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
You are.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
This is over the top. It's disrespectful. Their women there,
their kids there. Am I right or wrong? Calvin says.
The man that just throws singles at them, that's okay,
But I'm in the right place when I'm throwing singles.
This is in front of people.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Do you like that? Seriously?
Speaker 1 (08:51):
I can't imagine your your wife, and your daughter sitting
up front and this guy's holding himself talking about how
big this thing is. I mean, ridiculou. The NBA's lucky.
He's lucky. The NBON he find him fifty thousand. I'm
serious like that, Like, you represent the league. You know
that uniform that it has on it doesn't say ant
(09:12):
Man on the front. It says Minnesota. It says the Timberwalls.
And when you sign that CBA, it's more about you,
it's about the league. You can't damage the league. That's
why they can find you. That's why they can suspend
you if you don't follow the rules. And you know what,
(09:36):
there's a morals clause, and if you really get too
dirty and down and dirty and do some foul stuff,
they can void out your entire contract, no matter if
it's a guaranteed contract. There's a morals clause for a reason.
That's all. Enough with the jokes. I'm not telling the
guys gotta be straight laced and can't say anything but
(09:56):
really holding your genitail you at an NBA game in
front of kids and women, disgusting.
Speaker 5 (10:04):
The way you yelling at him, he might say the
same thing to you. You know, Okay, here's the thing.
Number one, it's absolutely obscene. We nobody would dispute that.
You can't dispute that. That's just as clear as day.
It wasn't something he was walking around some kid grabbing,
you know, his arm, trying to get a picture of something.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
He did something crazy.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
I can understand that a couple of things, though, I
do believe these types of things have happened way more
than you were giving credence to just not captured. I
absolutely believe that in nineteen seventies, eighties, nineties, twenty twenty
tens and twenty twenties, people are doing and saying that
is just not captured because once a year, twice a
(10:48):
year picked the sport. We have these conversations because he
gets captured on video. Now to the face of the league,
this is where it gets interesting to me.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
Few months back we were having this conversation.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
Anthony Edwards was asked this, hey man, a lot of
people are saying, who's gonna be the next face the league?
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Are you? And he said, nah, nah, man, I'm not
gonna be the face of the league.
Speaker 5 (11:08):
No, no, no, And I said, it's not that it
won't be because the league doesn't necessarily want it, or
that the option isn't there the opportunity. It's because he
don't want it, and he doesn't want it because of
I don't have the personality. I don't want to do
the commercials. Nah, he doesn't want it because he knows himself.
He's self aware enough to know I say what I want,
(11:29):
I do what I want. I might do some wild stuff.
I might have some bboled up chicks from online accusing
me of having their babies.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
If you know the stories, I'm gonna leave that alone.
If you know some of his drama.
Speaker 5 (11:42):
My point with him is, I think he can't be
the face of the league because he's choosing not to.
Because he's like, I know where I am, I know
the life I'm living, and I'm comfortable and where I
am right now. But what's gonna happen to Ann Edwards?
He's gonna become one of the faces of the league.
I lie a couple of peace people who did what
he's doing. Let me walk you through history. Michael Vick
(12:05):
was not your traditional quarterback in the NFL. Well g
golly shucks, we're here to play as a team, and
by golly, it was all of us and we and team. Yeah,
Michael Vick had Carl ros was in.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
No, no, no, that's not being obscene in front of
people and what he's dressed and music. Come let me finish,
let me land. It's not you're not gonna land. You're
gonna crash this plan. I'm not saying you can go
out and grab your junk all the time. But what
I'm saying is Antie often becomes popular.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
That's what I'm trying to say.
Speaker 5 (12:43):
Rob Antie, you're supposed to be, golly shucks buttoned up.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Mike Vick like.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Being buttoned up. It's about decency. Come on, Kelvin, you
your dummy and down this conversation. It's about decency. Come on, man,
world rolls with a guy grabbing his junk. Nation women.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Finish, thank you.
Speaker 5 (13:09):
Dennis Rodman ve scene doing wild stuff, doing stunts was
more popular than Michael Jordan and every all.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
The team's even said it. For three years. He was
never the face of the league.
Speaker 5 (13:20):
That's what we're talking about.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Mike.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
What I'm saying is he's going to be the antiicist
he's going to be the other face of the league,
like a dual face because of the Okay, okay, So
then all the people I just named, Michael Vick and
all these people who are anti what your typical face
of the league is. It often happens where one of
or the other side of the coin is that person face.
(13:46):
And somebody who's great as was the not Alan Iverson
did things that were seen as of scene when he
was run. If you let me talk, he's rapping and
he was saying lude stuff so much that the NBA
had to pull him aside because he was doing this
on your girl. I won't say what he was saying
in the songs. Can you not say those in your
rap songs? There is something to have you not studied
(14:10):
the history of pop culture, rock and roll, the antithicists
of what you're supposed to be. Wow, crazy, sex, drugs,
rock and roll something that can be because.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
There are morals claus in a record deal.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
I'm asking you, there is no I just don't use
it because there is no there is.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
You kidding me clause I won't use them.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Tell me.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Tell me the contract that was ripped up because some
musician was on drugs, acid point.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
They utilize it when they need to.
Speaker 5 (14:46):
Do you not understand that I'm talking about the lar
I will hold on to it because you're selling out
arenas and selling albums. I don't care what you're doing
because my point exactly makes it work and is popular.
So An Edwards with all these anti is going to
become even more popular because people he's cool, he's funny,
he's raw, he does what he does. He ain't gonna change.
(15:06):
He's authentic. That's all I'm trying to say. I didn't
say lude acts with a way to go. What I'm
saying is when you're authentically yourself and living a certain
top of lifestyle and got sometimes that makes you popular
and you're the other face of the coin of the
face of the League.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven
nine nine six sixty three sixty nine. Are you buying
Kelvin's that is actual? That leude behavior is going to
make him pop? And I said, or or in front
of your wife and kid grabbing his junk and an
NBA arena, that that's what's going to make.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
It long enough? Stop?
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Who was one of the most We're not talking about artists. Mike,
we're talking about basketball players, great players. You want decent
people on the face of leagues. That's all we want
you to be. And just decent, be great on the court,

Speaker 3 (18:12):
Who do you say? Eight seven, seven ninety nine.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
On Fox Who we got Neil in New York City,
New York City.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Yes, you're on the couple of Fox Sports Radio. What's up, Neil?
Speaker 8 (18:23):
Hey, rab Kelvin. This is Neo from New York City.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
What's up? How are you?
Speaker 7 (18:30):
Not much? Not much?
Speaker 8 (18:31):
I'll say, just give me your kitch as the best
player in the league. You know, I think you're caching
me that we seen him carry a team without the
second superstar. We've seen him, do you know whatever he's
been doing lately. But I have to say when he
comes to Kawhi, I mean, I get it, it's a
great career. We all love Kawhi, but let's not let's
not act like the Toronto Championship was such a magical run.
(18:56):
Toronto had one problem.
Speaker 9 (18:57):
That was Lebron James.
Speaker 8 (18:59):
When went to the East that for them disappeared.
Speaker 7 (19:02):
He didn't.
Speaker 8 (19:03):
The Toronto Raptor threw Lebron. That didn't happen. And when
he got there, I mean, sure, I still remember the
shots heard around the world. I mean I went to
Fit the last week and the boys still around right now.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Yes, it did hit the room one hundred times. I'll
give you that.
Speaker 8 (19:20):
Oh yeah, it's still baling over there right now. So
we all remember that. But you know what that title
that wasn't such like a magical run.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
No, no for them. I'm for them to win a
championship when they hadn't been able to. And Kawhi was
a difference there and you had him to make even
to put up that shot at the end, like like
I mean.
Speaker 5 (19:44):
So he's a he H's a serious winning shot. He
gets to a team that beats a Warrior scene that's
running through everybody. And what you're making that face for both, Bo,
why are you making that face?
Speaker 6 (19:56):
Who was left on that Warriors team?
Speaker 3 (19:58):
No?
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Those games?
Speaker 5 (20:00):
I agree, right, KD goes out, You got got.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
You gotta play.
Speaker 5 (20:05):
Here's my only point to that, both, And I'm with
you because sometimes.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
When Steph Curry won his first one and all of
the so that was about to be my point. If
you go down history, we could do that. Johnson doesn't
play against the Celtics and or against the Lakers. I
mean the Pistons in in eighty nine.
Speaker 5 (20:21):
Right then you get Isaiah's out on it, Jordan and
lost this one. It we could be all so, I
get you, but once you start counting the rings, we
forget the exact circumstances of every ring. Because I totally
get what you're saying. But Steph gets a pass that
he had to go through Kevin Love and Kyrie exactly.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
That year that they won that one and then they
choked the three to one lead. If you got that
and then they ran out and got KD.
Speaker 5 (20:42):
Yeah, because that could change everything. If if Kyrie and
Kate Kevin Love played Lebron and then went twenty fifteen,
they win twenty six.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
You know what I mean, and then you know you're
not looking at Stephan them the same way.
Speaker 6 (20:53):
That's why I think the twenty sixteen kasring is the
only legitimate championship in NBA history.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
To be honest with you, why is that.
Speaker 6 (20:59):
Because of just everybody was everybody was healthy, win seven gamesmens?
Speaker 5 (21:04):
All right, Well, there's some Jordan ones with the with
the no no no, all right, Mark, John Stocky roll
around where they lie.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
But you know what I'm saying, Mark and Sacramento, You're
on the couple of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
What's up? Mark?
Speaker 7 (21:18):
What's up? Mister Washington? Yo, Martin, real quick on what
you just said? Uh, Isaiah I think had the most
probable rhyme. Remember Isaiah went through Jordan's yep. Oh yeah,
Dick and Bird.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
All in their prod. You ain't gonna tell me about Zeke.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
All in their pride and without a number of top
fifty players a teammate, that's incredible record.
Speaker 7 (21:43):
I would take Kawi for one reason. If Luca's not
making shots, what else is Luca gonna do? Why gonna go?
Why gonna go stop somebody? I'm not at that guy
who gonna stop somebody?
Speaker 3 (21:54):
I get that.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Hey, Mark, I'm coming to Sacramento Saturday. I'm going to
the A's White Sox.
Speaker 7 (22:01):
Pop me, he pop me communication. Let me catch you
after the game. Got something going on. But how about
after the game. I'd like to catch you up.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
All right, definitely, it'd be good to meet you. Mark,
appreciate it. All you gotta do is just scream his
name out after that stadium?
Speaker 6 (22:12):
Is that it?
Speaker 3 (22:13):
He said?
Speaker 5 (22:13):
It's only five thousand people, right, So Steve just got there, Hey, Rob,
and you can just.
Speaker 3 (22:18):

me pitch on one of them. They might do that.

I'm doing great, Man, first time talking to y'all. Listen
to the show for man for a long time. Of course,
you know, Rob, I know you've been there for a
minute because welcome.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
Thank you, Ace. We appreciate the support, my man. Thank you.
Speaker 9 (23:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (23:00):
Listen, I think a motivated, inspired and healthy Kawhi Leonard
by far, uh not by far, but definitely I'm taking
that Kawhi Leonard, a healthy, motivated and inspired Kawhi Leonard
because he can literally guard every position and he is
(23:24):
a he just he's a he's a basketball savant man.
He's a genius man as far as his play and
he just he just he affects the game in every facet. Now,
cause man, I I just my my almost wreck. Man.
You mean to tell me you would skip four time
(23:44):
champion Steph Curry, who you said does not play defense.
Speaker 7 (23:50):
He does.
Speaker 9 (23:50):
He just he gets abused helot, but he plays.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
Oh No, I never said, yeah, Steph is an adequate defender.
Speaker 10 (23:58):
No, but then you said skip these other guys even
Joker and why and you'll take the dude that I
challenge you. Who is a worst defender in the NBA
right now than Luca Dodgy?
Speaker 3 (24:11):
Who is work Lebron James? Now that was funny. Now
that was fun raft.
Speaker 5 (24:15):
Hey, hey, Ace, I'm not if you want me to
think I'm about to sit up here and be Johnny
Cochran for Luca's defense team.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
No, his defense, ain't it?
Speaker 5 (24:24):
I said, nuclear the guy that all of a sudden
tonight can go drop sixty and none of us will
blink an eye and be like, oh, that's just what
he does.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
That's the one difference from me.
Speaker 5 (24:32):
I completely hear what you're saying about his defense without
a doubt. That's noted. Appreciate it though, Ace, Thank you man.

help us break down what's gonna be happening in four
to eight hours with the draft.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
Adam, how are you man? What's up? Buddy? Guys? Could
to talk to you?
Speaker 11 (25:31):
Yeah, we are, you know, in a neighboro of forty
eight hours away, and it's uh, it's fascinating.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
It's fascinating because this.
Speaker 11 (25:37):
Is when you just get a little bit more serious
because there's been very little trade talk and teams trying
to narrow some stuff down here.
Speaker 12 (25:44):
But yeah, we're pretty close.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
Uh any movement.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
It just the only thing I guess I'm waiting to
see is to me, the only suspense is Shador Is
he third?
Speaker 3 (25:54):
Is he ten? Twenty? First? Yeah, we're gonna go. I
still be the only thing.
Speaker 11 (25:59):
Yeah, Honestly, I'd be surprised if he goes earlier than
mid twenties. I don't see him going to Pittsburgh. I
never felt he would go to Pittsburgh. They I just
don't get the feeling they see him as a first
round quarterback. They learned their lessons for Kenny Pickt. Kenny
(26:19):
pick was severely overdrafted. He should have gone to the
third round and he's now on his third team. Should
door Sanders to me, is a top forty pick. I'm
gonna put him in the first round. And the question
that the reason is very simply this. He's a good
college quarterback. It's more talented than Kenny Pickt was. It's
not gonna why with arms strength, He's not a great athlete.
He's a good processor, pretty accurate quarterback, but he doesn't wy.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
You win anyway.
Speaker 12 (26:44):
This is the way it works in the National Football League.
To be a first round pick, you got you got
to you.
Speaker 11 (26:49):
I don't care what position is. There's got to be
something you do that's really exceptional. It's not exceptional in anything, however,
he's a quarterback. And this is a year where I
said this on FSR back with Steve Hartman, back in
on the weekends on a Saturday, and.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
You've got a word in on the show. Well, let
me just say this. This is it.
Speaker 11 (27:09):
I told him that this is a bad you need
a quarterback. It just is there, camb Woard. I've talked
to two teams already that mentioned to me that the
only quarterback they have great in the first round is Camboard.
Speaker 12 (27:20):
That's just that's just the way it is.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
It's a bad draft. It's a bad year to have
a quarterback.
Speaker 11 (27:24):
I still believe somehow shoulder standards is good enough to
go in the first round, but it's probably gonna be
late in the first round.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
All right, how about this on some sort of trade
mighty moving up and that it just doesn't seem like
that kind of a draft.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
All right, So Rob.
Speaker 11 (27:37):
Here's what happens if let's say Ashon Genty would would
drop right. Ashon Genty is a bell cow back where
Marion Hampton, the back from North Carolina, is a little
it's more explosive, but there are questions whether he can
be a three down back. How much volume could he
handle it this level. We're talking about carries where there's
no question on Rashad Gent how many he could be Elkel.
(28:01):
That's why with Pete Carroll being the head coach of
the Raiders and Chip Kelly being the play caller, it
just matches up so well for them to draft Centi
at number six.
Speaker 5 (28:13):
I want to ask you about somebody who, of course
I watched him born and raised Adam. You probably didn't
know this from Annabur, Michigan, so oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
So I'm looking at Graham, Mason Graham.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
He never saw a national championship while he was growing
up and then over, but I saw.
Speaker 5 (28:28):
One in ninety seven. Don't do that to me, I was,
I was, I'm not going to argue with him later,
I don't. What do you what do you make of
his prospects? And now defensive lineman, whether it be interior
or Obviously, lineman who can get after the quarterback are
starting to become, you know, even bigger in this league.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
Where does he come out? Who do you maybe? Is
he like a Brandon Graham another guy went to Michigan.
Speaker 11 (28:50):
Well, actually no, he Mason Graham is a three technique.
He he's an explosive inside pass rusher. He I'll tell
you what, he's a I have him as early. He
could go as early as number five to the Jaguars.
See it's it's interesting. The hot spot to trade out
will be the Jaguars because the the my valuaboard drops,
it's Hunter, It's Carter, no question about it, and it's word.
(29:14):
Then there's a drop off. Now Will Campbell. Will Campbe's
the best tackle for the Strift, but he's got shorter arms.
And then you've got the the You've got the Jaguars
at number five, who need they could use some help
at de tackle. Ark Armsett's an older player. To me,
this is where you know Rob talked about trading out.
I think that's where you could look at at Jaguars
(29:35):
looking to trade out. But the problem is, folks, it's
so many teams will look to get out.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
Very few teams want to trade up.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
All right, One last thing, Uh, what is the story
about Jerry Jones and working on some sort of trade
or something?
Speaker 7 (29:46):
Was?
Speaker 3 (29:47):
What is that? What happened Jerry? Just a lull on
his radio show or something.
Speaker 11 (29:51):
Yeah, Well, now he is hinted that there might be something,
you know, because they're they want to help out.
Speaker 12 (30:00):
They want to help out their receiver corps there.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
Okay, that that's they want to help out CD Lamb.
Speaker 11 (30:04):
They would like to get somebody physical, but you could
get Ted McMillan in the draft.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
Who should go?
Speaker 11 (30:08):
And then the upper half of the first round. Look,
they Jerry always speaks, you know, like he's got urgency
that wants up not doing anything.
Speaker 12 (30:20):
It's not he's changed, guys.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
If you remember.
Speaker 11 (30:24):
Nineties, early to mid two thousands, no one more aggressive
than him.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
They don't.
Speaker 12 (30:28):
They built through the drift.
Speaker 11 (30:29):
They don't do a lot in free agency, and they're
not a big wheeler dealer team. He drops his hints
and wants up doing nothing. I will tell you this,
They definitely are looking for size at receiver opposite CD Lamb.
And that's I've known that for a couple of months.
I expect them to address that in the draft there was.
By the way, receiver is kind of light. It's kind
of light, but it's got a little bit of death
in rounds two through three. Yeah, Jerry hadn't quite doing
(30:52):
like you used to. Hey, Adam, I appreciate you man.
Speaker 5 (30:54):
We'll, of course getting close to the drift so we'll
see what actually has.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
That's good, all right, thanks Adam Kaplan there.
Speaker 5 (30:59):

Got basically into some trouble for posting something on social media,
and not that he did maybe didn't have a valid
point with his gripe. But do you handle it on
social media when you can just go talk to your
manager or talk to your organization. That's the conversation we're having.
Do you give them a pass because you're younger?
Speaker 7 (32:06):

Speaker 3 (32:27):
Okay.
Speaker 8 (32:28):
But what I want to say is, most of the
time it's not about the actual.
Speaker 13 (32:32):
Athletes feeling of it. It's about to be fans getting
on them on social media themselves, posting and tagging you
and a lot of stuff saying do you see this?
How you let them do that to you? And they
just want to let them know that, Yo, I didn't
address it, and y'all have to keep tagging men and
stuff because I'm not going out like a punk and
I did take care of my business.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
That's a fair point, yes, Vincent, that's a fair point. Man.
You know what, first time called there you go, you

I just want to say on this subject, you know,
I'm more of the generation towards you Rob and you know,
be standing up man to man.
Speaker 7 (33:37):
But Calvin.
Speaker 14 (33:38):
It's nice to hear you you're kind of on that border,
and it's nice to hear that, you know, especially being
a father with the daughters, that that you kind of
try to control that social media and you know there's
there's a time for it and there's a time not to.
I mean, this guy absolutely should have went in the office,
been a man and talked to the Boston said, hey, man,
what's up with this?
Speaker 3 (33:58):
Exactly? He has a point, don't you agree, Brian? He
has a point.
Speaker 14 (34:03):
Oh, absolutely, he's got a point.
Speaker 9 (34:05):
I'd be curious.
Speaker 14 (34:06):
But I talked to the guy, man the man, Hey, fellas,
have a good week.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
Thank you appreciated. Hey, Trey in Texas. You're in the
couple of Fox Sports Radio. What's up, Tray, Hey, what's good?
Speaker 9 (34:19):
Good man? Yeah, man, I think he's wrong about it, but.
Speaker 7 (34:23):
You just need to communicate.
Speaker 9 (34:25):
He's just need to communicate with the office man. And
you know, I'm not about to hold social media and
stuff myself. I mean, yeah, I tryed not to.
Speaker 8 (34:33):
Have my kids on it.
Speaker 10 (34:33):
I mean, oldst was like eight, so it's like, you know,
I don't.
Speaker 9 (34:36):
Even expose to that stuff right now. So he's heard
that to understand what he's supposed to be doing, you know, right, And.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
And that's that's your point, is well, taking the phones
a little, appreciate you.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
That's about communication.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
But but there's a time and the place for for
having a a real conversation.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
It's the same thing.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
And I you know, like if somebody's asking you for
a favor, or something's going down or something, say they
owe you something and they can't do it, you don't
text me.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
Just call me and let me know what's happening. That's all.
You don't have to You don't have to sub tweet me.
Speaker 5 (35:09):
You're talking about me, but without saying me just you
don't have to just come talk to me.
Speaker 3 (35:14):
Hit me up. Hey, man, hey, you gotta quit.
Speaker 5 (35:17):
I've been feeling a certain way when you did this,
when you said that, when blah blah blah, let's have
a talk.
Speaker 3 (35:21):
Let's have a talk, man.
Speaker 5 (35:22):
And you know what's funny, so many times when you
have those conversations are uncomfortable conversations, you actually walk away
feeling better.
Speaker 3 (35:30):
Even in relationships.
Speaker 5 (35:31):
Look, and it's gonna be tight because our natural human
inclination is to be defensive, right, no, no, no, I
only get it because you but once you work through that,
hear the person out have a conversation.
Speaker 3 (35:44):
That's why I just it's not you, it's me. You know, Hey, yo,
it's not stupid. Yeah, it's not.
Speaker 5 (35:52):
You know, I'm actually it's not just me. It's the
other teammates too. That you're sitting down, but you're not
sitting certain teammates down. Oh yeah, I think. But honestly, man,
the documentaries, the thesis, the essays, the stories, the reporting,
the all that's going to be done on social media,
(36:15):
and it's gonna officially become like cigarettes, like use it
your own, you know, as you see fit, but just
know it causes a lot more harm and damage to
you then you maybe thought, and I think social media
we're gonna start getting to that place where these studies
and these findings are there where we see how detrimental
it was for society.
Speaker 1 (36:33):
Like when people always you know, when I block people
on social media, it's basically for saying something that I
didn't say, or just you know, like calling me a name.
Like if you can't have a conversation, it's a sports.
Speaker 3 (36:47):
Where we can disagree, but if I got right.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
Once you get into that, it's just an automatic block
and then they don't understand why Rob don't want to
take no quick no, no no. When you start out with
you're an idiot, there's no conversation. Seriously, I'm not this
is my social media. I'm not gonna read that or
or or get back at you or call you a name.
Speaker 3 (37:08):
Or you never see that.
Speaker 5 (37:10):
You don't see me doing that on socialna do it.
Speaker 3 (37:13):
We've lost the reality, a sense of reality.
Speaker 5 (37:16):
People think, you know, they can just do anything, say
anything on social media. They've absolutely gone too far with that.
All right again, good conversation. I like that we can
have these conversations where uh, you know, involved might involve
race or be a little more difficult. We got Antonio
Daniels right around the corner, talk some hoops.
Speaker 3 (37:33):
We got some games going on right now. The NBA
postseason right now is gonna give you the update? Can
Yannis pull it through? Right now? We have you here
that I'm also look every day. I'm ulco looked every day.
I'm ulco.
Speaker 5 (37:49):
Antonio Daniels for me, NBA players, serious exam pelicans, color analysts,
the hardest working man in show business.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
And you can follow them on x A. Daniels thirty
three A D. What's up?
Speaker 10 (38:03):
Man?
Speaker 9 (38:04):
What's up?
Speaker 7 (38:04):
Fellas?
Speaker 9 (38:05):
I'm sitting here watching this game right now. Ye walking
in Indiana.
Speaker 5 (38:09):
Come on, Giannis, you gotta make that what happened? They
blue the Lahony's gonna put that one in. That was
a bad miss right there. I mean asked a D
the question we asked earlier Game seven. Anybody currently in
the league? Ad who do you pick?
Speaker 3 (38:26):
One game? The guy? You say, as long as I
got him, I'm happy going on. I said I would
take Kawhi Leonard. I said, I've loved that answer, but
I gotta go nuclear Luca. Who would you take out
of the current players?
Speaker 9 (38:41):
Man?
Speaker 3 (38:42):
Yeah, that's how we started.
Speaker 1 (38:45):
I already know Antony's gonna use this on serious tomorrow.
Speaker 9 (38:48):
Right well, that that's a tough one.
Speaker 7 (38:53):
Game seven.
Speaker 9 (38:53):
I need one win, yep, we finally, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (38:58):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (38:59):
Anything else though, No, No, you don't know anything else.
Speaker 3 (39:01):
You're just like you just this guy on my team.
And I'm like, I don't want to be a prison
of the moment.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
But we saw what Kawhi Leonard did last night, thirty
four points in thirty nine minutes and fifteen for nineteen
and we know we've seen this guy when he's healthy.
Speaker 3 (39:18):
Uh, Antonio, he's as good as it gets somebody.
Speaker 9 (39:22):
Yeah, man, that's a toughy because you know the reason. Okay,
there's a reason I wouldn't take Luca. There's a reason
I wouldn't take your kitch. If I don't know anything else,
I have to have somebody I know that's going to
impact the game on both sides of the ball.
Speaker 3 (39:39):
Yep, that's my thought.
Speaker 9 (39:42):
So Kawhi is a good one.
Speaker 14 (39:45):
Yep.
Speaker 9 (39:46):
Uh Jhanna's is a good one. The only thing with Yanni, say,
is the whole free throw thing.
Speaker 3 (39:52):
That's a real thing. That's good, that is real, that
is real.
Speaker 9 (39:56):
And that's real. Yeah, I'm honest, man, I I don't know.
I had to get back to y'all on that one.
Speaker 3 (40:02):
No, that's a real that's a real one. Yeah, you see.
Can we talk about the Lakers and the importance.
Speaker 1 (40:07):
What do they need to clean up? Because they were uninspired?
Let people open, you leave people open in the NBA.
You noticed, Antonio, you give me a freak a clean look,
you know, and you're lucky to get clean looks.
Speaker 3 (40:18):
In the NBA.
Speaker 9 (40:20):
But the thing is here's my thing with the Lakers.
You know, I had the privilege with but my co
host Roperenz last week of interviewing Jenny Busk for three
hours on our show Wow Wow. And I told her
at that time that I thought that the Minnesota Timberwolves
were the toughest match up that the Lakers could face
(40:40):
in the first round out of anybody. They would give
the Lakers more problems in Oklahoma City than the Clippers
than anybody else because they are completely opposite of the Lakers.
Everything that the Lakers lacked is Minnesota strength. Yeah, so
I think it's easy to say, well, what do they
need to clean up? The thing is they have an
excellent one on one player in That'thony Networks. And you
(41:02):
know what, Luca and Lebron and Austin Reeves don't do
very well. They don't defend. So now Anthony Networks, he
can pick and choose who he wants to attack, right.
And the thing about the Lakers is they don't have
collective versatility, meaning they can't play big ball like everybody
else can. You know, Oklahoma City can play too big,
(41:24):
and Houston can play too big, and Minnesota can play
too big.
Speaker 7 (41:27):
All these teams.
Speaker 9 (41:28):
The Knicks can play too big, the Lakers can't. So
the Lakers can't match the Minnesota Timberwolves size or the physicality,
and I don't know what the Lakers can do about that.
I feel like for the Lakers to win, Luca, Lebron
and Austin Reeves has to get one of those each
one of those guys that's in between twenty and twenty five,
(41:50):
and they're going to have to outscore by themselves the
Minnesota Timberwolves.
Speaker 5 (41:56):
La I said the same thing, and Brandon, I hope
you listen. He's one of our Kruber here. I said
the same thing to him. Adi, I said this, the energy,
the athleticism and the just the tenacity is gonna be
the trouble for that. I said they were better off
playing the Warriors because then to me, it ends up
it's just a Steph versus Lucas so on and so forth.
It's a scoring man, you know, Jimmy versus Lebron, because
(42:17):
they're not the best team, they're not the biggest, and
they're not that deep. The Warriors Minnesota have been playing
great ball the last twenty twenty five games, and they're
just young athletic and they don't know any better, and
I think that was the problem.
Speaker 9 (42:31):
Agree, But the thing with the Lakers is like if
they played small against most teams, that's their best line up. Yeah,
Minnesota can beat you both ways.
Speaker 3 (42:42):
Yep.
Speaker 9 (42:42):
They can play small and put Julius Random at the
five or nas Reed at the five. But then they
can also play big and say you know what that's
in hate. You're gonna have to keep Rudy Gobert off
the glass, Lebron, You're gonna have to match Julius Random's physicality,
and then somebody up there got to guard as Ne
networds good luck, good.
Speaker 3 (43:01):
Yeah, good luck.
Speaker 1 (43:01):
Let me ask you about oka se and what if
they've been doing which is incredible. I mean people can
continue to doubt them. They played defense, which is a
big thing, and have all year and they just seem
to just blow people out.
Speaker 3 (43:16):
What do you make of them?
Speaker 7 (43:18):
For me?
Speaker 9 (43:19):
I mean, they've been the best team in the West
all year. Oh yeah, And it comes down to game
one and through game eighty two? Is it is what
it is? Eighty three? Now moving forward, it's a different animal.
And when you start out and you beat a team
by fifty one, I think what Memphits is seeing is
(43:40):
what I had a chance to witness up close and
personal last year with that same Oklahoma City Thunder team
in the first round of the playoffs. Their defense is fierce.
Their defense is something else. They had issues last year
in the playoffs, and they exrected because they didn't have
the physicality to match up with certain teams. Lively and
gafferd ate them apart last year, but you know what
(44:00):
they did. They went on to dress that and got
Isaiah Harden's time along with another excellent perimeter defender and
Alex Caruso. The thing about Okay, see, they take a
lot of boxes, man, they check a lot of boxes.
I just think I want to see them. I want
to see how they are against. And I don't mean
(44:21):
this in a disrespectful manner, even though it's gonna sound disrespectful.
A better opponent, Yeah, I get it.
Speaker 3 (44:27):
No that that's fair to me, I do think. So
I want to go to the East real quick. Ad
we looked at really good.
Speaker 5 (44:35):
Serious so far has been fund has been competitive, the
Knicks and the Pistons. But I was in the Hoskin
Rod What the heck? Carlthony Towns. I know he's heard
the criticism of the years where he disappears for a while,
no point in three shots.
Speaker 3 (44:46):
Yes, that can't be.
Speaker 5 (44:47):
He's too good, he's too talented, and not to mention,
he has too many mismatches at times.
Speaker 3 (44:51):
What if you're if you're Tom Tibodau, Is this a
Tims issue?
Speaker 5 (44:54):
Is this a Jalen Bronson for not being the orchestrator
of the offense outside of himself?
Speaker 3 (44:59):
What do you mean?
Speaker 9 (45:01):
And it's funny because that's exactly what I thought, Like
we can look at the coach and say, you know what,
you have to be able to put Carl Anthony Towns
on the box, because what they're doing is now they're
putting smaller guys on Carl Anthony Towns and taking away
he's catching shoot threes. So whether it's a Suer Thompson
or Tobias Hance or whoever it may be, they're putting
these guys on Karl Anthony Towns. Now, I understand Dayalen
(45:23):
Brunston is probably going to be cuts Player of the Year,
but then there also has to come a point in
time where you realize you need Carl Anthony Towns. So
a lot of the isolation basketball on to going one
on one and the foul baiting and all that stuff
is cool, but sometimes as a point this is I've
always said that the point guard is not a skill set.
It's a mindset, and it's something that you think. It's
(45:46):
something that you see. If we're playing football and I
see a lineman lined up against a wide receiver, you know,
I'm calling the hot roof for that receiver because he
has the mythmets. But that doesn't happen. It's like it
comes the point where guys become concerned about themselves well
understanding that Nicks are a much better basketball team when
Jalen Brunton is going and Karl Anthony Towns is going.
(46:09):
Because I can tell you what the Detroit Pittsons will
live with what happened last night, not just to win,
but the fact that Karl Anthony Towns was invisible the
entire second half.
Speaker 1 (46:17):
Last thing we got about a minute. The Pacers did win.
They're up too, Oh what do you make of that series?
Were you picking the Pacers before this series? And I
know it's two home wins, not one, you know, any
on the road, but still they're up to a too
old lead to start this series.
Speaker 9 (46:35):
This is a series where I actually picked Milwaukee. I
thought Dame was going to come back and be and
have a impact. I didn't realize they was going to
put him out there for forty minutes in his first
game back.
Speaker 3 (46:47):
That's crazy.
Speaker 9 (46:48):
It's a little different. This is a tough one because
you never know what you're going to get.
Speaker 7 (46:55):
Out of Milwaukee.
Speaker 9 (46:56):
Milwaukee's tough to be that home. They're tougher to be
that home. You're going to get rolled players that play
better at home. Bobby Porter's played great today, but the
Gary Trent Junior is the Kyle Kuzmas. Those guys will
play much better at home than they did on the
road in Indiana. And then we'll see, we'll see if
you get a chance to tie it up to the
two game five coming back to Indianapolis. We'll see who
(47:16):
has the best player on the floor at that time
when Dame Lillard gets the Sea legs back.
Speaker 3 (47:21):
Yeah, well waiting right now?
Speaker 5 (47:22):
Maybe, And I do like you don't have to respond
at the time, but I will say, Adie, I'm loving
the spiciness. I'm seeing a lot of these series going
at it too. It makes me feel good too. That's
right eighty. Thank you so much man, Antonio Daniels.
Speaker 3 (47:34):

know what time it is?
Speaker 5 (47:38):

Speaker 5 (05:59):
Rob jeez been stereotyped this whole life, and that's why

You've been distress, that's me, BO. I've been standing outside
a burned steakhouse in Tampa, Florida, which is a popular steakhouse,
standing there trying to get my car, and a guy
walks up and hands me his ticket. I'm not dressed
in like some outfit or whatever, and I'm like what,
(06:50):
I'm like, excuse me, I'm waiting for my car. See,

You're not supposed to be at this restaurant having this
seventy five dollars steak exactly.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
No, no my keys, all right, bo. News of the day. Yeah,
man gets uh gets fine by the NBA.
Speaker 6 (07:19):
Yeah, fifty thousand dollars suspension from the NBA for Anthony
Edwards due to inappropriate language and obscene gestures towards a
fan during their Game one win over the Lakers. When
was that Saturday night?
Speaker 7 (07:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Yeah, and NBA not surprised when I saw the video.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Vulgar, just ridiculous, And this is further proof.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
I know he had a national Spike TV commercial and
for Christmas time and all that, but he will not
Anthony Edwards will not nt beat the face of the NBA.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Okay, this kind of behavior is ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
And it's not even like juvenile like you say, well,
he's a young This is like we you're grabbing your
body parts and talking about, uh, your body.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Parts in public to fans.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Really, that's the guy I want to be the face
of my organization holding his organ as. He's the face
of the organizations.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
Organs right now, organ organization anything you want to He's
playing organ.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
I'm just like, I'm flabbergasted. I'm not trying to be
uh hey, you kids, get off my long guy.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
You are.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
This is over the top. It's disrespectful. Their women there,
their kids there. Am I right or wrong? Calvin says.
The man that just throws singles at them, that's okay,
But I'm in the right place when I'm throwing singles.
This is in front of people.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Do you like that? Seriously?
Speaker 1 (08:51):
I can't imagine your your wife, and your daughter sitting
up front and this guy's holding himself talking about how
big this thing is. I mean, ridiculou. The NBA's lucky.
He's lucky. The NBON he find him fifty thousand. I'm
serious like that, Like, you represent the league. You know
that uniform that it has on it doesn't say ant
(09:12):
Man on the front. It says Minnesota. It says the Timberwalls.
And when you sign that CBA, it's more about you,
it's about the league. You can't damage the league. That's
why they can find you. That's why they can suspend
you if you don't follow the rules. And you know what,
(09:36):
there's a morals clause, and if you really get too
dirty and down and dirty and do some foul stuff,
they can void out your entire contract, no matter if
it's a guaranteed contract. There's a morals clause for a reason.
That's all. Enough with the jokes. I'm not telling the
guys gotta be straight laced and can't say anything but
(09:56):
really holding your genitail you at an NBA game in
front of kids and women, disgusting.
Speaker 5 (10:04):
The way you yelling at him, he might say the
same thing to you. You know, Okay, here's the thing.
Number one, it's absolutely obscene. We nobody would dispute that.
You can't dispute that. That's just as clear as day.
It wasn't something he was walking around some kid grabbing,
you know, his arm, trying to get a picture of something.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
He did something crazy.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
I can understand that a couple of things, though, I
do believe these types of things have happened way more
than you were giving credence to just not captured. I
absolutely believe that in nineteen seventies, eighties, nineties, twenty twenty
tens and twenty twenties, people are doing and saying that
is just not captured because once a year, twice a
(10:48):
year picked the sport. We have these conversations because he
gets captured on video. Now to the face of the league,
this is where it gets interesting to me.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
Few months back we were having this conversation.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
Anthony Edwards was asked this, hey man, a lot of
people are saying, who's gonna be the next face the league?
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Are you? And he said, nah, nah, man, I'm not
gonna be the face of the league.
Speaker 5 (11:08):
No, no, no, And I said, it's not that it
won't be because the league doesn't necessarily want it, or
that the option isn't there the opportunity. It's because he
don't want it, and he doesn't want it because of
I don't have the personality. I don't want to do
the commercials. Nah, he doesn't want it because he knows himself.
He's self aware enough to know I say what I want,
(11:29):
I do what I want. I might do some wild stuff.
I might have some bboled up chicks from online accusing
me of having their babies.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
If you know the stories, I'm gonna leave that alone.
If you know some of his drama.
Speaker 5 (11:42):
My point with him is, I think he can't be
the face of the league because he's choosing not to.
Because he's like, I know where I am, I know
the life I'm living, and I'm comfortable and where I
am right now. But what's gonna happen to Ann Edwards?
He's gonna become one of the faces of the league.
I lie a couple of peace people who did what
he's doing. Let me walk you through history. Michael Vick
(12:05):
was not your traditional quarterback in the NFL. Well g
golly shucks, we're here to play as a team, and
by golly, it was all of us and we and team. Yeah,
Michael Vick had Carl ros was in.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
No, no, no, that's not being obscene in front of
people and what he's dressed and music. Come let me finish,
let me land. It's not you're not gonna land. You're
gonna crash this plan. I'm not saying you can go
out and grab your junk all the time. But what
I'm saying is Antie often becomes popular.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
That's what I'm trying to say.
Speaker 5 (12:43):
Rob Antie, you're supposed to be, golly shucks buttoned up.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Mike Vick like.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Being buttoned up. It's about decency. Come on, Kelvin, you
your dummy and down this conversation. It's about decency. Come on, man,
world rolls with a guy grabbing his junk. Nation women.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Finish, thank you.
Speaker 5 (13:09):
Dennis Rodman ve scene doing wild stuff, doing stunts was
more popular than Michael Jordan and every all.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
The team's even said it. For three years. He was
never the face of the league.
Speaker 5 (13:20):
That's what we're talking about.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Mike.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
What I'm saying is he's going to be the antiicist
he's going to be the other face of the league,
like a dual face because of the Okay, okay, So
then all the people I just named, Michael Vick and
all these people who are anti what your typical face
of the league is. It often happens where one of
or the other side of the coin is that person face.
(13:46):
And somebody who's great as was the not Alan Iverson
did things that were seen as of scene when he
was run. If you let me talk, he's rapping and
he was saying lude stuff so much that the NBA
had to pull him aside because he was doing this
on your girl. I won't say what he was saying
in the songs. Can you not say those in your
rap songs? There is something to have you not studied
(14:10):
the history of pop culture, rock and roll, the antithicists
of what you're supposed to be. Wow, crazy, sex, drugs,
rock and roll something that can be because.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
There are morals claus in a record deal.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
I'm asking you, there is no I just don't use
it because there is no there is.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
You kidding me clause I won't use them.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Tell me.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Tell me the contract that was ripped up because some
musician was on drugs, acid point.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
They utilize it when they need to.
Speaker 5 (14:46):
Do you not understand that I'm talking about the lar
I will hold on to it because you're selling out
arenas and selling albums. I don't care what you're doing
because my point exactly makes it work and is popular.
So An Edwards with all these anti is going to
become even more popular because people he's cool, he's funny,
he's raw, he does what he does. He ain't gonna change.
(15:06):
He's authentic. That's all I'm trying to say. I didn't
say lude acts with a way to go. What I'm
saying is when you're authentically yourself and living a certain
top of lifestyle and got sometimes that makes you popular
and you're the other face of the coin of the
face of the League.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven

Kelvin's that is actual? That leude behavior is going to
make him pop? And I said, or or in front
of your wife and kid grabbing his junk and an
NBA arena, that that's what's going to make.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
It long enough? Stop?
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Who was one of the most We're not talking about artists. Mike,

people on the face of leagues. That's all we want

Yes, you're on the couple of Fox Sports Radio. What's up, Neil?
Speaker 8 (18:23):
Hey, rab Kelvin. This is Neo from New York City.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
What's up? How are you?
Speaker 7 (18:30):
Not much? Not much?
Speaker 8 (18:31):
I'll say, just give me your kitch as the best
player in the league. You know, I think you're caching
me that we seen him carry a team without the
second superstar. We've seen him, do you know whatever he's
been doing lately. But I have to say when he
comes to Kawhi, I mean, I get it, it's a
great career. We all love Kawhi, but let's not let's
not act like the Toronto Championship was such a magical run.
(18:56):
Toronto had one problem.
Speaker 9 (18:57):
That was Lebron James.
Speaker 8 (18:59):
When went to the East that for them disappeared.
Speaker 7 (19:02):
He didn't.
Speaker 8 (19:03):
The Toronto Raptor threw Lebron. That didn't happen. And when
he got there, I mean, sure, I still remember the
shots heard around the world. I mean I went to
Fit the last week and the boys still around right now.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Yes, it did hit the room one hundred times. I'll
give you that.
Speaker 8 (19:20):
Oh yeah, it's still baling over there right now. So
we all remember that. But you know what that title
that wasn't such like a magical run.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
No, no for them. I'm for them to win a
championship when they hadn't been able to. And Kawhi was
a difference there and you had him to make even
to put up that shot at the end, like like
I mean.
Speaker 5 (19:44):
So he's a he H's a serious winning shot. He
gets to a team that beats a Warrior scene that's
running through everybody. And what you're making that face for both, Bo,
why are you making that face?
Speaker 6 (19:56):
Who was left on that Warriors team?
Speaker 3 (19:58):
No?
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Those games?
Speaker 5 (20:00):
I agree, right, KD goes out, You got got.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
You gotta play.
Speaker 5 (20:05):
Here's my only point to that, both, And I'm with
you because sometimes.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
When Steph Curry won his first one and all of
the so that was about to be my point. If
you go down history, we could do that. Johnson doesn't
play against the Celtics and or against the Lakers. I
mean the Pistons in in eighty nine.
Speaker 5 (20:21):
Right then you get Isaiah's out on it, Jordan and
lost this one. It we could be all so, I
get you, but once you start counting the rings, we
forget the exact circumstances of every ring. Because I totally
get what you're saying. But Steph gets a pass that
he had to go through Kevin Love and Kyrie exactly.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
That year that they won that one and then they
choked the three to one lead. If you got that
and then they ran out and got KD.
Speaker 5 (20:42):
Yeah, because that could change everything. If if Kyrie and
Kate Kevin Love played Lebron and then went twenty fifteen,
they win twenty six.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
You know what I mean, and then you know you're
not looking at Stephan them the same way.
Speaker 6 (20:53):
That's why I think the twenty sixteen kasring is the
only legitimate championship in NBA history.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
To be honest with you, why is that.
Speaker 6 (20:59):
Because of just everybody was everybody was healthy, win seven gamesmens?
Speaker 5 (21:04):
All right, Well, there's some Jordan ones with the with
the no no no, all right, Mark, John Stocky roll
around where they lie.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
But you know what I'm saying, Mark and Sacramento, You're
on the couple of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
What's up? Mark?
Speaker 7 (21:18):
What's up? Mister Washington? Yo, Martin, real quick on what
you just said? Uh, Isaiah I think had the most
probable rhyme. Remember Isaiah went through Jordan's yep. Oh yeah,
Dick and Bird.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
All in their prod. You ain't gonna tell me about Zeke.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
All in their pride and without a number of top
fifty players a teammate, that's incredible record.
Speaker 7 (21:43):
I would take Kawi for one reason. If Luca's not
making shots, what else is Luca gonna do? Why gonna go?
Why gonna go stop somebody? I'm not at that guy
who gonna stop somebody?
Speaker 3 (21:54):
I get that.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Hey, Mark, I'm coming to Sacramento Saturday. I'm going to
the A's White Sox.
Speaker 7 (22:01):
Pop me, he pop me communication. Let me catch you
after the game. Got something going on. But how about
after the game. I'd like to catch you up.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
All right, definitely, it'd be good to meet you. Mark,
appreciate it. All you gotta do is just scream his
name out after that stadium?
Speaker 6 (22:12):
Is that it?
Speaker 3 (22:13):
He said?
Speaker 5 (22:13):
It's only five thousand people, right, So Steve just got there, Hey, Rob,
and you can just.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
See you right there wave at him. They might have
me pitch on one of them. They might do that.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Sam. In Texas, you're on the Eyed Couple of Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
What's up? Sam?
Speaker 1 (22:30):

minute because welcome.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
Thank you, Ace. We appreciate the support, my man. Thank you.
Speaker 9 (23:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (23:00):
Listen, I think a motivated, inspired and healthy Kawhi Leonard
by far, uh not by far, but definitely I'm taking
that Kawhi Leonard, a healthy, motivated and inspired Kawhi Leonard
because he can literally guard every position and he is
(23:24):
a he just he's a he's a basketball savant man.
He's a genius man as far as his play and
he just he just he affects the game in every facet. Now,
cause man, I I just my my almost wreck. Man.
You mean to tell me you would skip four time
(23:44):
champion Steph Curry, who you said does not play defense.
Speaker 7 (23:50):
He does.
Speaker 9 (23:50):
He just he gets abused helot, but he plays.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
Oh No, I never said, yeah, Steph is an adequate defender.
Speaker 10 (23:58):
No, but then you said skip these other guys even
Joker and why and you'll take the dude that I
challenge you. Who is a worst defender in the NBA
right now than Luca Dodgy?
Speaker 3 (24:11):
Who is work Lebron James? Now that was funny. Now
that was fun raft.
Speaker 5 (24:15):
Hey, hey, Ace, I'm not if you want me to
think I'm about to sit up here and be Johnny
Cochran for Luca's defense team.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
No, his defense, ain't it?
Speaker 5 (24:24):
I said, nuclear the guy that all of a sudden
tonight can go drop sixty and none of us will
blink an eye and be like, oh, that's just what
he does.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
That's the one difference from me.
Speaker 5 (24:32):
I completely hear what you're saying about his defense without
a doubt. That's noted. Appreciate it though, Ace, Thank you man.

help us break down what's gonna be happening in four
to eight hours with the draft.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
Adam, how are you man? What's up? Buddy? Guys? Could
to talk to you?
Speaker 11 (25:31):
Yeah, we are, you know, in a neighboro of forty
eight hours away, and it's uh, it's fascinating.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
It's fascinating because this.
Speaker 11 (25:37):
Is when you just get a little bit more serious
because there's been very little trade talk and teams trying
to narrow some stuff down here.
Speaker 12 (25:44):
But yeah, we're pretty close.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
Uh any movement.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
It just the only thing I guess I'm waiting to
see is to me, the only suspense is Shador Is
he third?
Speaker 3 (25:54):
Is he ten? Twenty? First? Yeah, we're gonna go. I
still be the only thing.
Speaker 11 (25:59):
Yeah, Honestly, I'd be surprised if he goes earlier than
mid twenties. I don't see him going to Pittsburgh. I
never felt he would go to Pittsburgh. They I just
don't get the feeling they see him as a first
round quarterback. They learned their lessons for Kenny Pickt. Kenny
(26:19):
pick was severely overdrafted. He should have gone to the
third round and he's now on his third team. Should
door Sanders to me, is a top forty pick. I'm
gonna put him in the first round. And the question
that the reason is very simply this. He's a good
college quarterback. It's more talented than Kenny Pickt was. It's
not gonna why with arms strength, He's not a great athlete.
He's a good processor, pretty accurate quarterback, but he doesn't wy.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
You win anyway.
Speaker 12 (26:44):
This is the way it works in the National Football League.
To be a first round pick, you got you got
to you.
Speaker 11 (26:49):
I don't care what position is. There's got to be
something you do that's really exceptional. It's not exceptional in anything, however,
he's a quarterback. And this is a year where I
said this on FSR back with Steve Hartman, back in
on the weekends on a Saturday, and.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
You've got a word in on the show. Well, let
me just say this. This is it.
Speaker 11 (27:09):
I told him that this is a bad you need
a quarterback. It just is there, camb Woard. I've talked
to two teams already that mentioned to me that the
only quarterback they have great in the first round is Camboard.
Speaker 12 (27:20):
That's just that's just the way it is.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
It's a bad draft. It's a bad year to have
a quarterback.
Speaker 11 (27:24):
I still believe somehow shoulder standards is good enough to
go in the first round, but it's probably gonna be
late in the first round.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
All right, how about this on some sort of trade
mighty moving up and that it just doesn't seem like
that kind of a draft.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
All right, So Rob.
Speaker 11 (27:37):
Here's what happens if let's say Ashon Genty would would
drop right. Ashon Genty is a bell cow back where
Marion Hampton, the back from North Carolina, is a little
it's more explosive, but there are questions whether he can
be a three down back. How much volume could he
handle it this level. We're talking about carries where there's
no question on Rashad Gent how many he could be Elkel.
(28:01):
That's why with Pete Carroll being the head coach of
the Raiders and Chip Kelly being the play caller, it
just matches up so well for them to draft Centi
at number six.
Speaker 5 (28:13):
I want to ask you about somebody who, of course
I watched him born and raised Adam. You probably didn't
know this from Annabur, Michigan, so oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
So I'm looking at Graham, Mason Graham.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
He never saw a national championship while he was growing
up and then over, but I saw.
Speaker 5 (28:28):
One in ninety seven. Don't do that to me, I was,
I was, I'm not going to argue with him later,
I don't. What do you what do you make of
his prospects? And now defensive lineman, whether it be interior
or Obviously, lineman who can get after the quarterback are
starting to become, you know, even bigger in this league.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
Where does he come out? Who do you maybe? Is
he like a Brandon Graham another guy went to Michigan.
Speaker 11 (28:50):
Well, actually no, he Mason Graham is a three technique.
He he's an explosive inside pass rusher. He I'll tell
you what, he's a I have him as early. He
could go as early as number five to the Jaguars.
See it's it's interesting. The hot spot to trade out
will be the Jaguars because the the my valuaboard drops,
it's Hunter, It's Carter, no question about it, and it's word.
(29:14):
Then there's a drop off. Now Will Campbell. Will Campbe's
the best tackle for the Strift, but he's got shorter arms.
And then you've got the the You've got the Jaguars
at number five, who need they could use some help
at de tackle. Ark Armsett's an older player. To me,
this is where you know Rob talked about trading out.
I think that's where you could look at at Jaguars
(29:35):
looking to trade out. But the problem is, folks, it's
so many teams will look to get out.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
Very few teams want to trade up.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
All right, One last thing, Uh, what is the story
about Jerry Jones and working on some sort of trade
or something?
Speaker 7 (29:46):
Was?
Speaker 3 (29:47):
What is that? What happened Jerry? Just a lull on
his radio show or something.
Speaker 11 (29:51):
Yeah, Well, now he is hinted that there might be something,
you know, because they're they want to help out.
Speaker 12 (30:00):
They want to help out their receiver corps there.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
Okay, that that's they want to help out CD Lamb.
Speaker 11 (30:04):
They would like to get somebody physical, but you could
get Ted McMillan in the draft.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
Who should go?
Speaker 11 (30:08):
And then the upper half of the first round. Look,
they Jerry always speaks, you know, like he's got urgency
that wants up not doing anything.
Speaker 12 (30:20):
It's not he's changed, guys.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
If you remember.
Speaker 11 (30:24):
Nineties, early to mid two thousands, no one more aggressive
than him.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
They don't.
Speaker 12 (30:28):
They built through the drift.
Speaker 11 (30:29):
They don't do a lot in free agency, and they're
not a big wheeler dealer team. He drops his hints
and wants up doing nothing. I will tell you this,
They definitely are looking for size at receiver opposite CD Lamb.
And that's I've known that for a couple of months.
I expect them to address that in the draft there was.
By the way, receiver is kind of light. It's kind
of light, but it's got a little bit of death
in rounds two through three. Yeah, Jerry hadn't quite doing
(30:52):
like you used to. Hey, Adam, I appreciate you man.
Speaker 5 (30:54):
We'll, of course getting close to the drift so we'll
see what actually has.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
That's good, all right, thanks Adam Kaplan there.
Speaker 5 (30:59):

Got basically into some trouble for posting something on social media,
and not that he did maybe didn't have a valid
point with his gripe. But do you handle it on
social media when you can just go talk to your
manager or talk to your organization. That's the conversation we're having.

Speaker 13 (32:32):
Athletes feeling of it. It's about to be fans getting
on them on social media themselves, posting and tagging you
and a lot of stuff saying do you see this?
How you let them do that to you? And they
just want to let them know that, Yo, I didn't
address it, and y'all have to keep tagging men and
stuff because I'm not going out like a punk and
I did take care of my business.

Speaker 7 (33:37):
But Calvin.
Speaker 14 (33:38):
It's nice to hear you you're kind of on that border,
and it's nice to hear that, you know, especially being
a father with the daughters, that that you kind of
try to control that social media and you know there's
there's a time for it and there's a time not to.
I mean, this guy absolutely should have went in the office,
been a man and talked to the Boston said, hey, man,
what's up with this?
Speaker 3 (33:58):
Exactly? He has a point, don't you agree, Brian? He
has a point.
Speaker 14 (34:03):
Oh, absolutely, he's got a point.
Speaker 9 (34:05):
I'd be curious.
Speaker 14 (34:06):
But I talked to the guy, man the man, Hey, fellas,
have a good week.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
Thank you appreciated. Hey, Trey in Texas. You're in the
couple of Fox Sports Radio. What's up, Tray, Hey, what's good?
Speaker 9 (34:19):
Good man? Yeah, man, I think he's wrong about it, but.
Speaker 7 (34:23):
You just need to communicate.
Speaker 9 (34:25):
He's just need to communicate with the office man. And
you know, I'm not about to hold social media and
stuff myself. I mean, yeah, I tryed not to.
Speaker 8 (34:33):
Have my kids on it.
Speaker 10 (34:33):
I mean, oldst was like eight, so it's like, you know,
I don't.
Speaker 9 (34:36):
Even expose to that stuff right now. So he's heard
that to understand what he's supposed to be doing, you know, right, And.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
And that's that's your point, is well, taking the phones
a little, appreciate you.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
That's about communication.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
But but there's a time and the place for for
having a a real conversation.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
It's the same thing.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
And I you know, like if somebody's asking you for
a favor, or something's going down or something, say they
owe you something and they can't do it, you don't
text me.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
Just call me and let me know what's happening. That's all.
You don't have to You don't have to sub tweet me.
Speaker 5 (35:09):
You're talking about me, but without saying me just you
don't have to just come talk to me.
Speaker 3 (35:14):
Hit me up. Hey, man, hey, you gotta quit.
Speaker 5 (35:17):
I've been feeling a certain way when you did this,
when you said that, when blah blah blah, let's have
a talk.
Speaker 3 (35:21):
Let's have a talk, man.
Speaker 5 (35:22):
And you know what's funny, so many times when you
have those conversations are uncomfortable conversations, you actually walk away
feeling better.
Speaker 3 (35:30):
Even in relationships.
Speaker 5 (35:31):
Look, and it's gonna be tight because our natural human
inclination is to be defensive, right, no, no, no, I
only get it because you but once you work through that,
hear the person out have a conversation.
Speaker 3 (35:44):
That's why I just it's not you, it's me. You know, Hey, yo,
it's not stupid. Yeah, it's not.
Speaker 5 (35:52):
You know, I'm actually it's not just me. It's the
other teammates too. That you're sitting down, but you're not
sitting certain teammates down. Oh yeah, I think. But honestly, man,
the documentaries, the thesis, the essays, the stories, the reporting,
the all that's going to be done on social media,
(36:15):
and it's gonna officially become like cigarettes, like use it
your own, you know, as you see fit, but just
know it causes a lot more harm and damage to
you then you maybe thought, and I think social media
we're gonna start getting to that place where these studies
and these findings are there where we see how detrimental
it was for society.
Speaker 1 (36:33):
Like when people always you know, when I block people
on social media, it's basically for saying something that I
didn't say, or just you know, like calling me a name.
Like if you can't have a conversation, it's a sports.
Speaker 3 (36:47):
Where we can disagree, but if I got right.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
Once you get into that, it's just an automatic block
and then they don't understand why Rob don't want to
take no quick no, no no. When you start out with
you're an idiot, there's no conversation. Seriously, I'm not this
is my social media. I'm not gonna read that or
or or get back at you or call you a name.
Speaker 3 (37:08):
Or you never see that.
Speaker 5 (37:10):
You don't see me doing that on socialna do it.
Speaker 3 (37:13):
We've lost the reality, a sense of reality.
Speaker 5 (37:16):
People think, you know, they can just do anything, say
anything on social media. They've absolutely gone too far with that.
All right again, good conversation. I like that we can
have these conversations where uh, you know, involved might involve
race or be a little more difficult. We got Antonio
Daniels right around the corner, talk some hoops.
Speaker 3 (37:33):
We got some games going on right now. The NBA
postseason right now is gonna give you the update? Can
Yannis pull it through? Right now? We have you here
that I'm also look every day. I'm ulco looked every day.
I'm ulco.
Speaker 5 (37:49):
Antonio Daniels for me, NBA players, serious exam pelicans, color analysts,
the hardest working man in show business.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
And you can follow them on x A. Daniels thirty
three A D. What's up?
Speaker 10 (38:03):
Man?
Speaker 9 (38:04):
What's up?
Speaker 7 (38:04):
Fellas?
Speaker 9 (38:05):
I'm sitting here watching this game right now. Ye walking
in Indiana.
Speaker 5 (38:09):
Come on, Giannis, you gotta make that what happened? They
blue the Lahony's gonna put that one in. That was
a bad miss right there. I mean asked a D
the question we asked earlier Game seven. Anybody currently in
the league? Ad who do you pick?
Speaker 3 (38:26):
One game? The guy? You say, as long as I
got him, I'm happy going on. I said I would
take Kawhi Leonard. I said, I've loved that answer, but
I gotta go nuclear Luca. Who would you take out
of the current players?
Speaker 9 (38:41):
Man?
Speaker 3 (38:42):
Yeah, that's how we started.
Speaker 1 (38:45):
I already know Antony's gonna use this on serious tomorrow.
Speaker 9 (38:48):
Right well, that that's a tough one.
Speaker 7 (38:53):
Game seven.
Speaker 9 (38:53):
I need one win, yep, we finally, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (38:58):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (38:59):
Anything else though, No, No, you don't know anything else.
Speaker 3 (39:01):
You're just like you just this guy on my team.
And I'm like, I don't want to be a prison
of the moment.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
But we saw what Kawhi Leonard did last night, thirty
four points in thirty nine minutes and fifteen for nineteen
and we know we've seen this guy when he's healthy.
Speaker 3 (39:18):
Uh, Antonio, he's as good as it gets somebody.
Speaker 9 (39:22):
Yeah, man, that's a toughy because you know the reason. Okay,
there's a reason I wouldn't take Luca. There's a reason
I wouldn't take your kitch. If I don't know anything else,
I have to have somebody I know that's going to
impact the game on both sides of the ball.
Speaker 3 (39:39):
Yep, that's my thought.
Speaker 9 (39:42):
So Kawhi is a good one.
Speaker 14 (39:45):
Yep.
Speaker 9 (39:46):
Uh Jhanna's is a good one. The only thing with Yanni, say,
is the whole free throw thing.
Speaker 3 (39:52):
That's a real thing. That's good, that is real, that
is real.
Speaker 9 (39:56):
And that's real. Yeah, I'm honest, man, I I don't know.
I had to get back to y'all on that one.
Speaker 3 (40:02):
No, that's a real that's a real one. Yeah, you see.
Can we talk about the Lakers and the importance.
Speaker 1 (40:07):
What do they need to clean up? Because they were uninspired?
Let people open, you leave people open in the NBA.
You noticed, Antonio, you give me a freak a clean look,
you know, and you're lucky to get clean looks.
Speaker 3 (40:18):
In the NBA.
Speaker 9 (40:20):
But the thing is here's my thing with the Lakers.
You know, I had the privilege with but my co
host Roperenz last week of interviewing Jenny Busk for three
hours on our show Wow Wow. And I told her
at that time that I thought that the Minnesota Timberwolves
were the toughest match up that the Lakers could face
(40:40):
in the first round out of anybody. They would give
the Lakers more problems in Oklahoma City than the Clippers
than anybody else because they are completely opposite of the Lakers.
Everything that the Lakers lacked is Minnesota strength. Yeah, so
I think it's easy to say, well, what do they
need to clean up? The thing is they have an
excellent one on one player in That'thony Networks. And you
(41:02):
know what, Luca and Lebron and Austin Reeves don't do
very well. They don't defend. So now Anthony Networks, he
can pick and choose who he wants to attack, right.
And the thing about the Lakers is they don't have
collective versatility, meaning they can't play big ball like everybody
else can. You know, Oklahoma City can play too big,
(41:24):
and Houston can play too big, and Minnesota can play
too big.
Speaker 7 (41:27):
All these teams.
Speaker 9 (41:28):
The Knicks can play too big, the Lakers can't. So
the Lakers can't match the Minnesota Timberwolves size or the physicality,
and I don't know what the Lakers can do about that.
I feel like for the Lakers to win, Luca, Lebron
and Austin Reeves has to get one of those each
one of those guys that's in between twenty and twenty five,
(41:50):
and they're going to have to outscore by themselves the
Minnesota Timberwolves.
Speaker 5 (41:56):
La I said the same thing, and Brandon, I hope
you listen. He's one of our Kruber here. I said
the same thing to him. Adi, I said this, the energy,
the athleticism and the just the tenacity is gonna be
the trouble for that. I said they were better off
playing the Warriors because then to me, it ends up
it's just a Steph versus Lucas so on and so forth.
It's a scoring man, you know, Jimmy versus Lebron, because
(42:17):
they're not the best team, they're not the biggest, and
they're not that deep. The Warriors Minnesota have been playing
great ball the last twenty twenty five games, and they're
just young athletic and they don't know any better, and
I think that was the problem.
Speaker 9 (42:31):
Agree, But the thing with the Lakers is like if
they played small against most teams, that's their best line up. Yeah,
Minnesota can beat you both ways.
Speaker 3 (42:42):
Yep.
Speaker 9 (42:42):
They can play small and put Julius Random at the
five or nas Reed at the five. But then they
can also play big and say you know what that's
in hate. You're gonna have to keep Rudy Gobert off
the glass, Lebron, You're gonna have to match Julius Random's physicality,
and then somebody up there got to guard as Ne
networds good luck, good.
Speaker 3 (43:01):
Yeah, good luck.
Speaker 1 (43:01):
Let me ask you about oka se and what if
they've been doing which is incredible. I mean people can
continue to doubt them. They played defense, which is a
big thing, and have all year and they just seem
to just blow people out.
Speaker 3 (43:16):
What do you make of them?
Speaker 7 (43:18):
For me?
Speaker 9 (43:19):
I mean, they've been the best team in the West
all year. Oh yeah, And it comes down to game
one and through game eighty two? Is it is what
it is? Eighty three? Now moving forward, it's a different animal.
And when you start out and you beat a team
by fifty one, I think what Memphits is seeing is
(43:40):
what I had a chance to witness up close and
personal last year with that same Oklahoma City Thunder team
in the first round of the playoffs. Their defense is fierce.
Their defense is something else. They had issues last year
in the playoffs, and they exrected because they didn't have
the physicality to match up with certain teams. Lively and
gafferd ate them apart last year, but you know what
(44:00):
they did. They went on to dress that and got
Isaiah Harden's time along with another excellent perimeter defender and
Alex Caruso. The thing about Okay, see, they take a
lot of boxes, man, they check a lot of boxes.
I just think I want to see them. I want
to see how they are against. And I don't mean
(44:21):
this in a disrespectful manner, even though it's gonna sound disrespectful.
A better opponent, Yeah, I get it.
Speaker 3 (44:27):
No that that's fair to me, I do think. So
I want to go to the East real quick. Ad
we looked at really good.
Speaker 5 (44:35):
Serious so far has been fund has been competitive, the
Knicks and the Pistons. But I was in the Hoskin
Rod What the heck? Carlthony Towns. I know he's heard
the criticism of the years where he disappears for a while,
no point in three shots.
Speaker 3 (44:46):
Yes, that can't be.
Speaker 5 (44:47):
He's too good, he's too talented, and not to mention,
he has too many mismatches at times.
Speaker 3 (44:51):
What if you're if you're Tom Tibodau, Is this a
Tims issue?
Speaker 5 (44:54):
Is this a Jalen Bronson for not being the orchestrator
of the offense outside of himself?
Speaker 3 (44:59):
What do you mean?
Speaker 9 (45:01):
And it's funny because that's exactly what I thought, Like
we can look at the coach and say, you know what,
you have to be able to put Carl Anthony Towns
on the box, because what they're doing is now they're
putting smaller guys on Carl Anthony Towns and taking away
he's catching shoot threes. So whether it's a Suer Thompson
or Tobias Hance or whoever it may be, they're putting
these guys on Karl Anthony Towns. Now, I understand Dayalen
(45:23):
Brunston is probably going to be cuts Player of the Year,
but then there also has to come a point in
time where you realize you need Carl Anthony Towns. So
a lot of the isolation basketball on to going one
on one and the foul baiting and all that stuff
is cool, but sometimes as a point this is I've
always said that the point guard is not a skill set.
It's a mindset, and it's something that you think. It's
(45:46):
something that you see. If we're playing football and I
see a lineman lined up against a wide receiver, you know,
I'm calling the hot roof for that receiver because he
has the mythmets. But that doesn't happen. It's like it
comes the point where guys become concerned about themselves well
understanding that Nicks are a much better basketball team when
Jalen Brunton is going and Karl Anthony Towns is going.
(46:09):
Because I can tell you what the Detroit Pittsons will
live with what happened last night, not just to win,
but the fact that Karl Anthony Towns was invisible the
entire second half.
Speaker 1 (46:17):
Last thing we got about a minute. The Pacers did win.
They're up too, Oh what do you make of that series?
Were you picking the Pacers before this series? And I
know it's two home wins, not one, you know, any
on the road, but still they're up to a too
old lead to start this series.
Speaker 9 (46:35):
This is a series where I actually picked Milwaukee. I
thought Dame was going to come back and be and
have a impact. I didn't realize they was going to
put him out there for forty minutes in his first
game back.
Speaker 3 (46:47):
That's crazy.
Speaker 9 (46:48):
It's a little different. This is a tough one because
you never know what you're going to get.
Speaker 7 (46:55):
Out of Milwaukee.
Speaker 9 (46:56):
Milwaukee's tough to be that home. They're tougher to be
that home. You're going to get rolled players that play
better at home. Bobby Porter's played great today, but the
Gary Trent Junior is the Kyle Kuzmas. Those guys will
play much better at home than they did on the
road in Indiana. And then we'll see, we'll see if
you get a chance to tie it up to the
two game five coming back to Indianapolis. We'll see who
(47:16):
has the best player on the floor at that time
when Dame Lillard gets the Sea legs back.
Speaker 3 (47:21):
Yeah, well waiting right now?
Speaker 5 (47:22):
Maybe, And I do like you don't have to respond
at the time, but I will say, Adie, I'm loving
the spiciness. I'm seeing a lot of these series going
at it too. It makes me feel good too. That's
right eighty. Thank you so much man, Antonio Daniels.
Speaker 3 (47:34):
