Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, well, well look who's come crawling back for some
more mad boosties. This is Brian the Editor, that guy
that Miles likes to yell at. And while the guys
are taking it easy, I decided to whip up a
little best of Rapid Fire twenty twenty four featuring Warren Shaw,
Lena Washington, Jasmine Watkins, Dan Favale, Jason Timp and Dragonfly Jones.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Enjoy Lena Washington.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Allst Our Weekend is coming up just very very soon.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
Give me your all time Fantasy Dunk Contest lineup.
Speaker 5 (00:39):
You're picking four dunkers anytime, anytime.
Speaker 6 (00:43):
Time, anytime.
Speaker 7 (00:45):
Well, I have to go Vince Carter, just because it's
Vince Carter.
Speaker 6 (00:52):
Well, he existed, he graced a basketball court.
Speaker 7 (00:57):
He has a pretty decent vertical, so I would assume
he would be able to.
Speaker 6 (01:01):
Add some.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Vince Carter. Yeah, okay, harder, but not Prince Harder.
Speaker 5 (01:13):
When he was passing around some highlights from his rookie
season and just like some of the dunks, like he
was doing some of the dunks that he did in
that dunk contest, like in game.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
Game as a rookie is like wild as he should.
We have to keep this segment moving.
Speaker 7 (01:32):
So okay, so number two of four, I guess maybe
Aaron Gordon, so that he could pair of super elaborate
dunk contest like performance where it's like the drone goes
from Lucas Oil Stadium and then drops the basketball into
(01:52):
the you know, to the arena, and then the led
court lights up and all this stuff and then you know,
the pacers mass Scott comes in and he jumps over
him while doing a full three sixty like active turn
and then losing again.
Speaker 5 (02:07):
Yeah, so I think that would be for these dunks
designed by Doc Brown from you know.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
That that recent that recent hit film from the nineteen Goldberg. Okay,
you got to Who's four two?
Speaker 7 (02:25):
Feel obligated to say, Lebron James just because Miles, you
could be a part of it.
Speaker 6 (02:31):
He could just like walk up to and over you
and then just.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Say yeah or hold me like a baby and be
like and be like you're my yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Oh yeah he rocked rocks the cradle, but it's me
in his arms and then throws me through the hoop
and I don't have serious injury from it.
Speaker 6 (02:52):
What's what the medics are involved? But this is again
just like envisioning this Mountains of Dunk.
Speaker 7 (02:58):
Specifically and like who would be able to execute them best?
Speaker 6 (03:01):
And then maybe if there's.
Speaker 7 (03:02):
Some backstory or contacts that would add to the of
the show. So only if files is involved in Lebron's
done what I want you?
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Thank you?
Speaker 5 (03:11):
Pronounced pizzas?
Speaker 8 (03:13):
But okay, and the fourth before, uh you know, how
about what was his name?
Speaker 7 (03:25):
Was?
Speaker 8 (03:25):
It was it?
Speaker 6 (03:26):
Uh Mac McClung. Who wanted the other?
Speaker 5 (03:30):
Was that his name?
Speaker 6 (03:33):
Mac?
Speaker 8 (03:35):
How can?
Speaker 5 (03:39):
Yeah? Was that last time? Shoot? Yeah it was? It was.
Speaker 6 (03:47):
Flies when you're you're sipping the Mac mcclum kool aid.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
I know, you know?
Speaker 5 (03:52):
Is that I don't I don't know what happened, and
I haven't followed his career. Uh, Lena, Unfortunately you did
not best five years for Vince Carter, so it will
be modern day Vince Carter and the Dunk contest. Unfortunately,
so I think it's still it'd still be good.
Speaker 6 (04:12):
Still got it?
Speaker 5 (04:13):
Yeah? All right? So yeah that was good. You know, Yeah,
it was not fast enough, but you nailed it. Anyways,
it was it was highly entertaining. What school yard game
do you want to see added to the All Star weekend?
It can be you know, I think we said we
were saying the Pro Bowl, we've we've seen due dodgeball
(04:34):
and a tug of war. What game would you like
to see NBA players compete against one another?
Speaker 7 (04:41):
I'll give I'll give three, okay, just because I can't choose,
and I know, I know this is like a really
like I have to answer quickly.
Speaker 6 (04:49):
I just wanted to be really thorough. So the first
of the four square.
Speaker 7 (04:53):
Because I know athlete can be very competitive.
Speaker 9 (04:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (04:58):
Yeah, well our.
Speaker 7 (05:00):
Games and you got to play house rules your cherry popcorn?
Speaker 5 (05:03):
Popcorn? What are we talking that? Yeah?
Speaker 7 (05:07):
Yeah, so so that I read, imagine just see the
pure violence of being clotheslined by running at full speed
into your friends. Maybe some broken maybe on bones popping out.
Speaker 5 (05:24):
Yeah, it could be like that Last Survivor show where
all of the like most powerful people in the government
get blown up and Keeper Sutherland is like the guy
who is designated survivor, and like it would be the
NBA version that where all the best players just have
their arms like ripped out of their sockets. And so
(05:46):
it's like macmcu long is leading the league in scoring
in the playoffs.
Speaker 7 (05:55):
Team and then the third I would probably want to see,
is teather.
Speaker 10 (05:59):
Ball each other?
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Oh wow?
Speaker 6 (06:02):
More of a controlled environment. Yeah, so it really takes
skill focus. I would liken it to like.
Speaker 7 (06:08):
A tennis match, so it's just you and no coaching allowed,
and it's just a ball on a string and your
opponent and you're just trying to see who's going to
of wind that rode around that hole faster. So I
would say those three red rovert, courseware and tether ball
need to become Olympic sports by twenty eight.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
We just have this from the judges. Lean you got
two of the three right. Unfortunately we can't tell you
which one was wrong. But I do have to ask
you this question, which I think you can get right.
Who's the greatest Sons player ever? And who's the most underrated.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Sons player of your fandom?
Speaker 7 (06:46):
I mean, I have to say Charles Berkley is my
favorite Sons player ever, from what he meant to the city,
what he did when he was part of the team,
to now, you know, actually claiming the valley and claiming
this team underrated.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
M hm.
Speaker 7 (07:03):
You know in line of his retirement, Goran Dragic the
Dragon himself, I will say he didn't.
Speaker 6 (07:10):
Get a lot of love, but he was an.
Speaker 7 (07:13):
Instrumental figure and some some fun teams to watch out here.
So maybe that's recency bias, but just thinking about him
hanging it up and then just remembering his times here
and you know, bringing his twin.
Speaker 6 (07:26):
Brother along also for some of those rides. Those will
be my two.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
So you're gonna get the throwback you have.
Speaker 7 (07:33):
You have a drug show when I have a Sean
Marrion throwback jersey. So that was pretty cool?
Speaker 6 (07:38):
Is yeah?
Speaker 7 (07:39):
His his number in Jersey retired in the Ring of Honor.
So yeahr Stotto Meyer's next. So, uh, you're in Phoenix,
come check it out.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
I will bring my goggles.
Speaker 5 (07:52):
Ck oh my favorite show.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Have you seen?
Speaker 5 (08:00):
He has the funniest takes on just the stuff that's
I just keep I keep saying to myself, can he.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Say you guy's got something, This guy's got something? Should
you go first? Check or show I go?
Speaker 5 (08:13):
I would love to go first. Miles, Thank you for asking.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
You were very welcome.
Speaker 5 (08:17):
Jazz. You could have any player's skill set for a day,
but it has to be a non basketball skill. Who
are you picking him? What skill?
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Oh, like Rondo's like roller skating ability or.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
Rondo's roller skating Steph Curry's golf swing one of the pest. Yeah,
Waymintondale's base.
Speaker 11 (08:37):
Oh oh wait wait wait wait? Who played saxophone? Somebody
plays a really mean.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
That was Bill Clinton? He was the president. No, I
get I always think Bill Clinton was in the NBA too.
Speaker 11 (08:51):
No, I want to say. I want to say David Robinson,
David Racks. Somebody plays the phone from Maxic Johnson and
I think it was like.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
A oh David Rockin.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
Yeah, wow, wow, we got to go in the vault
for that one.
Speaker 5 (09:11):
Hold on here it is.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
Yeah, look at Magic. You got a tear in his
eye like he just watched the Lakers player or something.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Anyway, that's beautiful. That's a beautiful answer. Are you a
musician though, No, but you yeah, Okay, that makes sense.
That makes sense.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
Okay, Jasmine, we got a time machine, but it's a
Lakers specific time machine, and you can go back in
time to see any of these moments I'm about to
give you.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Choose one.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
Magic's game winner, baby skyhooking, Game four at the Garden
in eighty seven, Game seven twenty ten, you know what
time it is, and also the Lakers title game in
the bubble, verst the heat.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Those are you three options? Where are you taking the time.
Speaker 11 (10:02):
Machine twenty ten?
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Yeah? Easy, yep, yep.
Speaker 5 (10:07):
It still chasing that feeling.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
I gotta tell you, still chasing that still.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Chasing that feeling.
Speaker 5 (10:13):
Okay, next over the Celtics. Yeah, yeah, yeah, because I mean.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
Look, they they they gave it to us, and we
said to say, okay, let me regroup real quick.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
I think we got something for you. We got something
for you.
Speaker 5 (10:27):
Unfortunately, you do have COVID antibodies and you're able to
spread COVID back in twenty ten, So time traveling there
was the wrong answer. You've started the pandemic ten years earlier.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Messed up.
Speaker 5 (10:42):
That's keep questions. Yeah, all right, more likely to happen.
And why Pacers Eastern Conference Final run or Clippers Western
Conference Finals run?
Speaker 11 (10:58):
Pacers? I think Halliburt they got the Kaylen Clark magic
around them, and I don't think the world is ready
to see or we're not ready for Caliburn's outfits to
leave us, so he can't be out. He needed some
more games, yea, And I will never pick Clippers no
matter what.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Right that makes that makes sense, That makes sense.
Speaker 5 (11:19):
Wait would they who are they playing the second round?
Are the Pacers playing the Celtics second round? Or are
they playing the Knicks?
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Oh? They are playing whatever Nick Nicks.
Speaker 5 (11:33):
All right, yeah I can see that. I can assuming
you know the Sixers don't come back. Mm hmm right, yeah,
tried to. Did you see him? You're crazy and assume that.
Speaker 10 (11:45):
His eyes inside It's fine.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
His eyes did the bone Thugs thing again?
Speaker 5 (11:50):
Just one black? He didn't where am I?
Speaker 4 (11:55):
And in this version his uncle Charles was Barkley when
you played on the Sixers?
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Wrong'll y'all, Jasmine.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
I want to show you some fantastic nineties throwback jerseys.
Pick your top three from these coveted, coveted, iconic basketball
jersey designs from the nineties.
Speaker 5 (12:16):
Oh, I'm gonna go hornets, Okay, Larry Johnson's Larry Johnson
era pinstripes t L pin stripes, great.
Speaker 10 (12:28):
Yeah, this is tough.
Speaker 11 (12:31):
I'm gonna go magic. I'm trying not to be all pinstripey.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
But wow, yeah, it is iconic.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
The pins shack yeah, shat era b royal blue with
pin stripes.
Speaker 11 (12:42):
I would say bulls, but I'm not gonna go three
pin stripes. I'm gonna go Sixers just because that was
a golden era of six Ers jerseys.
Speaker 5 (12:49):
Yeah, great Sixers jersey iverson era basketball swooshing By. There's
something going on with the I. I forget what. It's
got a star on. It got a star.
Speaker 6 (12:59):
That's all.
Speaker 11 (13:00):
That made me very sad because I'm thinking about like
Sixers now, no shade like ta Wolves now, all the
jerseys suck.
Speaker 5 (13:08):
Jerseys aren't aren't the best, not the best and can get.
Speaker 11 (13:11):
Timberwolves from from whatever they got on now it's too
clean like that KG ruggedness.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
Yeah, exactly, like I want to I want to picture
Steffan in that thing, like is that Yeah, it's well,
it's funny too because like the best jerseys like every
year are when they're like we're bringing that one back
from the nineties. You're like, yo, like I got like
I got the Grizzly I got a Grizzlies jersey because
they did the Vancouver one.
Speaker 5 (13:36):
Oh oh.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
Because at the time I was also a big Sharif
abdoor Raheem fan too, was kind of nostalgic for me.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
But anyway, look, see just ask me, we got to
keep this going, Jack, Do.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
You have a sorry question? Another question.
Speaker 5 (13:49):
Yeah, our final question, what is the one moment or
game from NBA history that you wish Twitter had been
around for obviously pre to thousand and whatever, year nine
or six.
Speaker 11 (14:04):
Yeah, just for the discourse. I know it's an easy one,
but I would go Finals Jazz Bulls, Jordan's push off
Diddy Didney, Oh, because I would want to see everybody
dissect that plane.
Speaker 10 (14:19):
Yeah, and to obliviate.
Speaker 5 (14:22):
Be flu game conspiracy theories right away.
Speaker 11 (14:25):
You know it was pizza, but yeah, yeah, you see
it's so much drama around that.
Speaker 5 (14:31):
Oh yeah, Jordan's not the goat that would have also
been the big Yeah.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
Could you imagine some clowns just like saying that with
their whole chest. You're like, yeah, okay, yeah, well you
know what, I'm gonna save this tweet for twenty years exactly.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
It's Bob Cousy.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
It's Bob Coosy always was.
Speaker 5 (14:55):
George Might.
Speaker 6 (14:57):
Unfair shade.
Speaker 11 (14:58):
He was good, and I just feel like everybody him
because he is not as good as the generation is
coming after him obviously.
Speaker 5 (15:04):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, it's just like thee of him
dribbling around like it looks like he had just invented
dribbling like fifteen seconds before that clip, he's.
Speaker 12 (15:14):
Like, look at what I can do with the ball.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
Yeah, spinning, spinning around.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
That always shows you like like why, Like you know,
when we started the show, it's always about like the
game is always evolving like forward and getting better and
better and better, and like that's where we start. And
look at where we're at now with like the kind
of stuff we see Aunt do and everybody.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Ah, anyway, it's it's good times. It's good times for
the neutral. And I now declare myself a netrol.
Speaker 5 (15:41):
To be a neutral and an hour and just come
to the light.
Speaker 12 (15:46):
Now, come to the light now, and we're back.
Speaker 5 (15:58):
Warrenshaw.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
Oh, well, I think you're maybe you're you're you're my
favorite Celtics fan.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
I gotta say, you know, because because.
Speaker 5 (16:08):
Not tough competition man Love.
Speaker 9 (16:10):
Well, yeah, I think you're my favorite child and my
own child.
Speaker 5 (16:16):
You or Donnie Wahlberg.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Wasn't Donnie at the game the other night?
Speaker 9 (16:23):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
But anyway, it is time for the fourth quarter rapid
fire rout of questioning. This is the fastest question answer
segment in all sports podcasting history. Warren, you've done this before.
We're going to ask you a question, just reply quickly,
give us a sinct answer. Don't nothing too long because
we're trying to maintain our titles. The fastest question, answer
segment and pop past history. And if you take too long,
we will be rude to you, and we will take
(16:46):
our anger out as Sixers and Lakers fans on you
in a way that is disproportionate and maybe inappropriate. But
you're a brave person, you're stand up man, so we
expect nothing less from you.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Are you ready?
Speaker 10 (16:59):
Does it get a pop?
Speaker 5 (17:00):
Right?
Speaker 6 (17:00):
Start the clock?
Speaker 4 (17:04):
Don't do any easy ones, Jack, but we gotta we
gotta make Warren.
Speaker 5 (17:08):
Look, I'm crossing the ones out right now.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
Yeah, good ones, pull up, pull up his phone records,
pull up his phone records.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Do that one?
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Yeah, the ones from June twenty thirteen.
Speaker 9 (17:18):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Old Warren.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
Oh, you made a lot of calls to this number.
Speaker 5 (17:25):
Okay, here we go. Uh.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
First question, this is from the discord and shout out
to everybody that goes on the discord. What what what
will the crowd reaction be like in Boston if it's
Kyrie and the MAVs rolling into town, will the turned
up crowd get guys like Luca and Kyrie going. Will
it be an atmosphere that will just be terrible for everyone?
What are your what's your thoughts on the atmosphere when
they come to town?
Speaker 9 (17:47):
Crash negative something, no chill, no chill. So it's gonna
be awful. And that's the one part I don't want.
Any part of Kyrie is gonna rains of booze. And
I just they don't throw stuff, That's all I can say.
Just it's not a great fan base when it comes
to Kyrie.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
Sure, sure, sure, And like much of the way that
you're powered by the tiers of Laker fans, Kyrie is
powered by the booze of Boston fans.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
So yeah, that could, that could. Yeah, that's a battery
for him, for sure.
Speaker 5 (18:13):
There's been a lot of talk about how the home
court advantage has gone away. People aren't like doing that
much better at home, if better at all at home?
What do you think? What's your theory on that?
Speaker 9 (18:24):
Funny listening to a show talking about that earlier today,
and rest has a lot to do with it, you know,
I think so the visiting team can kind of come
in and you know, the.
Speaker 10 (18:31):
Travel is better, et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 9 (18:34):
But I just think teams are better proportionately matched in
general from what we've seen more recently in recent years.
So I don't think home court advenge is what it
once was, but you know, I'd still rather have it
than not, but it doesn't hold.
Speaker 10 (18:48):
The same weight that I think it did fifteen ten
years ago.
Speaker 5 (18:51):
Also, there's something we've talked about in the past about
NBA players being sort of SPIKEE fueled and like feeling
like everybody it's them against the world. I wonder if
like there's a part of it where like they react
better to people like hating on them, Like yeah, right, exactly.
(19:11):
Like a lot of it is like, you know, just
made up hate, but like you know, you have to
motivate yourself somehow, but like it when you're on the road,
you actually get to like hear it and feel it.
And it's like the type of person who becomes a
great player these days has to do it in the
face of just torrents of you know, hate on social media.
(19:33):
I just wonder if, like, for a modern player, that
is a more effective way to get going than like
the adulation of the home crowd is like curing booze
and anger. Right, that's my that's my loose, uh, soft brained.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
You're like yeah, and then like people like MJ and
then Kobe kind of really made it that thing where
it's like, yeah, go ahead, I want to hear it,
and then you stick that job out.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
And you're like you're in trouble. But that was a
long time ago.
Speaker 5 (20:03):
Yeah, But like, I feel like the feeling of quieting
a crowd something that I have a lot of experience
with in our live shows. I feel like that's got
to be one of the more powerful feelings that you
can get.
Speaker 10 (20:18):
I can give you a terrible example.
Speaker 9 (20:19):
I played intramural yeah basketball when I did, and we
played against those frats and yeah, you know, they brought
their sorority girls out and they're h and my little
pickup team you beat them.
Speaker 10 (20:32):
I felt some type of way. Yeah, that's true motivation.
So yeah, translates all levels.
Speaker 5 (20:38):
That is the experience of playing against the Boston Celtics,
by the way, is playing against a fraternity with a
bunch of play. We're playing sap.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
Baby line was Pike so okay, yeah, oh and gammified
Beta coming.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Don't worry, don't worry. I will.
Speaker 4 (20:58):
I'll probably hit a air ball or two in that game.
All right, was that a question or are you getting sure?
Speaker 5 (21:04):
Let's go say that was a question.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Okay, that was a question, all right, Warred.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
You can go back in time to personally witness any
finals matchup from history. However many games a series went,
you get courtside tickets to each game.
Speaker 10 (21:15):
What series are you sitting courts with?
Speaker 5 (21:17):
Heat? Series are you choosing?
Speaker 10 (21:19):
God, i'd go.
Speaker 9 (21:23):
Back into I can't remember what year I'm gonna get
it wrong, but obviously one of the ones Bird beat Magic,
So you know, I don't know if that's.
Speaker 10 (21:34):
Four fives one of those one of those years.
Speaker 9 (21:37):
So I was, you know, a fledgling individual at that
at that time of my life and wasn't really following
basketball in that But I think you just understanding what
that rivalry.
Speaker 10 (21:46):
Was like, not the first, but the most.
Speaker 9 (21:49):
No, I don't only say, I want to say this right,
one of the more iconic rivalries in NBA history, you know, Bird.
Speaker 10 (21:54):
Versus Magic, And yeah, for sure, something that I can
definitely relate to.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
It's the year of my birth, nineteen eighty four.
Speaker 5 (22:00):
The amount of second hand smoke you're gonna have to
deal with back there though.
Speaker 9 (22:03):
Man oh yeah, yeah yeah and Rady and cigars.
Speaker 5 (22:07):
Yeah, I'm good, yeah, saying eighty seven better? Maybe why okay?
Places of the NBA for the next five years?
Speaker 10 (22:18):
Uh shaye?
Speaker 5 (22:20):
Aunt Wemby sha't Webby? Okay, who's Aunt Wemby?
Speaker 2 (22:28):
That's my aunt Wenby?
Speaker 5 (22:29):
Is it not Luca? Because of how bad his forearm
tattoo is, Like that's that's one of the worst professional
athlete tattoos, right, Like I say, sometimes I'm like, what
did he smear on there? What is going on with
Like there's like a you know what I mean, it's
like kind of what.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
He what's he smearing on?
Speaker 5 (22:51):
Like smeared a little bit?
Speaker 4 (22:53):
It's uh, it's hard to do, isn't it? Like an eye,
like an all seeing eye kind of thing. And I
think like a hawk flying into the moon.
Speaker 5 (23:04):
Hey, I can't hate, all right, I can't hate. You've
seen the little sun rise I have at the base
of my back, so yeah, exactly, I can't. I can't complain.
I'm oh yeah, yeah, oh.
Speaker 10 (23:15):
Yeah, he does front and back.
Speaker 5 (23:19):
So Warren, we've seen teams und my belly but brought
in the style.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
Is it Reggie, who is it?
Speaker 4 (23:26):
So we got teams like the Grizzlies, thunder Magic taking
steps you know, to.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
The next level over the last few years.
Speaker 4 (23:32):
Who are Can you give us two teams you think
we can also expect something similar from that are going
to be in the conversation that previously wasn't because.
Speaker 10 (23:40):
We're seeing that is not those teams you just mentioned.
Speaker 4 (23:43):
Yeah, he's the ones that fully encapsulate what I've just said,
go outside the bounds and give us a prediction.
Speaker 9 (23:51):
So listen, I think Houston's closer than people want to admit. Yeah,
coaching is a real situation there, and I love Shangoon
and a thing jelling is is going to be a dude,
So I'd pick Houston there, you know, try and think
from an Eastern Conference standpoint. There's not a lot like
right now you have mentioned right, so yeah, you know,
(24:17):
I would hope Detroit gets rocked together, but they're nowhere
near where they be. So I guess I'll go with
the safe pick care and then in your conference finals,
and I.
Speaker 10 (24:25):
Guess the Pacers we'll see them again. They should be
so good.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
So I mean, man like Memo hard Yeah, he's you
talked about like you thought he would be the last time.
Speaker 10 (24:35):
Me too.
Speaker 9 (24:36):
You know, yeah, he's not particularly quick, but he's crafty
and you know a little half turns doing the smitty
and you know leanings and decent shot, you know, the
little goose snake on his threes.
Speaker 10 (24:47):
Hey, I could rock with that.
Speaker 5 (24:49):
I could rock.
Speaker 10 (24:49):
I think you're a super producer saying the Spurs.
Speaker 9 (24:52):
But until they can get some help someone rights, it's
basically us three running around with right now. And that's
that's not gonna cut it right.
Speaker 5 (25:01):
Over under a number of seasons until Wemby is top
three MVP voter.
Speaker 9 (25:09):
Uh so over under I'm going to say over one,
but i'd say literally in year three.
Speaker 5 (25:17):
So wow, that's crazy.
Speaker 9 (25:20):
Okay, Yeah, I mean and and I mean that's that's
contradicting what I just said though in terms of Spurs
won't be a good basketball team, you know, record wise,
but I don't know that we'll be able to deny
his his statistical impact. And if you know, people do say,
you know what, I want to go play with that guy,
you know, the Alien or whatever his logo is.
Speaker 10 (25:36):
Yeah, you know, maybe they will be able to rebuild
a lot faster, but he's ridiculous.
Speaker 9 (25:41):
Yeah, yeah, it's hard to for somebody to live up
to the expectations in that first year that that was
put on him too.
Speaker 10 (25:48):
And I know, you guys rode up summer League and.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
I don't.
Speaker 5 (25:51):
I don't.
Speaker 9 (25:51):
Don't you remember the spectacle that it was, you know, yeah,
trying to watch him out there?
Speaker 5 (25:55):
It was actually was he there?
Speaker 4 (25:58):
I didn't do you remember the how quiet it got
in Thomason Max Center. This second will touch the ball
even everyone's watch, Yeah, and they're like, oh my god,
he missed that dunk.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
And I was like, this guy is a way stroll.
Speaker 5 (26:12):
He's I'm calling it.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
I'm out on this webby guy.
Speaker 5 (26:15):
And then he almost hit his head on the rim,
just like walking by, and I was like, oh, oh,
this is gonna be weird.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
He needs spacial awareness, uh, A warrant.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
Finally, this summer, you know, we're planning on doing a
dive into some nineties players, some of our favorites of
the era.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
During the offseason.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
We're going to highlight different players, give us a few
recommendations of people that you think you know, especially for
newer fans, nineties era players that we absolutely they need
to be familiar with Well.
Speaker 9 (26:40):
I think I spoke about this maybe the last time
I was on, but I'm definitely it's an only good
a bit of goodie for me, the draws and Petrovitch nets.
So what Derek Holeman as well to d C was
a problem.
Speaker 10 (26:51):
He wasn't always motivated, but yeah, he was a problem
back in the nineties.
Speaker 9 (26:56):
And then to keep it h Boston centric j Lewis,
you know, and not to make you know, not to
be morbid about it in any capacity. Obviously he passed on. Uh,
but he was a bucket, you know, he could he
could really hoop. So those are guys I think, you know,
people would love it, should should want to learn more
about you know, those those those.
Speaker 10 (27:12):
Three guys, if you will.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
Yeah, man, he kept that four four on him.
Speaker 9 (27:16):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
Well, warren Shaw, it has been a pleasure and an
honor having you on Miles and Jack on Mad BOOSTI
so you could sip on our loser tears this episode.
Speaker 5 (27:26):
Yeah, we'd love to have you back on if the
Celtics don't win the title. Man, we got love to
We would love to have you back on if they win.
It's been nice meeting you. Good luck, yeah, good luck.
Speaker 4 (27:38):
At your future endeavors, but we will not be able
to look.
Speaker 5 (27:41):
You in the eye if you just and Dan. So
this is the fastest segment in uh, not just basketball podcasting,
podcasting in general. We can ask you questions you're coming
back with just the first answers that come out of
your brain. Uh, just sounds whatever, It can be pre lingual.
We just want we want it fast, okay, and if
(28:02):
you slow it down at all, we will blame you
and hold it against you. Does that sound good? Yeah?
All right, Brian, start the clock. I don't like that.
I don't I don't feel good it does. It's not
becoming Brian. It's okay. If you don't, you know, do
whatever you want. All right. We've been asking our guests
(28:28):
what is the official state bird of your state? In
this case New York, the blue jay? I have no idea. Yeah,
we we don't know. We don't care about that. What
is the unofficial state bird of New York?
Speaker 7 (28:44):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (28:46):
Like a probably a crow? Black crow? Yeah, okay, yeah,
that is incorrect. We would accept trash pigeon, big bird,
but the suit smells like urine, or just straight up
a rat. Any of those would have been okay, Yeah,
all right, Jabari, unto you.
Speaker 13 (29:07):
What is your favorite all time throwback shoe and jersey?
Speaker 3 (29:11):
And I noticed you got a Team Mac jersey back there,
But would that be in there?
Speaker 8 (29:16):
No?
Speaker 14 (29:16):
My favorite throwback jersey would be those Vancouver Grizzlies, like
teal jerseys or just spectacular yeah with the bear.
Speaker 5 (29:23):
Oh yeah, they got the bear on there.
Speaker 14 (29:25):
My favorite throwback shoe, I would be a Team AC
shoe if you guys. I don't remember the actual addition
of it, but it was from Adidas that had like
the spider web with the blue like it was white
and had like the blue lines that looked like spider webs.
Speaker 5 (29:36):
It was in all those gop Milk magazine ads.
Speaker 14 (29:39):
When I finally capped the pair of those and I
was playing youth basketball, I thought I was so freaking cool.
Speaker 5 (29:44):
Those those were awesome. Man. I just googled t back
throwback spider web and Google does not know what to
do with that. So, all right, what's the best slice
for your money in All New York? Ooh? Uh pizza?
Speaker 14 (30:03):
Oh no, not cheesecakey thing about that? Then two brothers
or two boots. There's like a place in Rockefeller Center
or something that's the best pizza I ever had.
Speaker 5 (30:12):
It's like some hole in the wall place.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
They might be called like two Boots Pizza or something.
Speaker 5 (30:17):
Really Rockefeller Center hot, Damn the Rockefellers still doing it
after all these years. All right, that is also incorrect,
but I won't get into it. I'm a fan of
John's or Bleaker Street Pizza, but those are both happened
to be around where I lived when I was in
New York, so uh, probably biased, Jabari, what you got?
Speaker 2 (30:41):
All right?
Speaker 3 (30:41):
You know we're heading into the year.
Speaker 13 (30:43):
We're doing all these fantastic breakdowns Southeast Division. Of course,
what is your biggest sleeper team or sleep What are
your sleeper teams setting into the season.
Speaker 14 (30:51):
I just want to pick the Pelicans, so you guys
could yell at me again like you have the pass.
Speaker 5 (30:57):
I don't know, I kind of like it. I feel
like people forgot that Dejonte is on the Pelicans.
Speaker 14 (31:01):
Now they don't have any centers, so it's like easy
to forget them against the place center there. I think
for the sake of variety, the Houston Rockets have like
twenty five guys that belong to an NBA rotation, and
I actually think that we're gonna look back on this
draft and wonder why Reed Shepherd wasn't taken number one.
That guy gives off like Steph Curry vibes and just
(31:24):
the way he gets to his mid range, the shooting
in general. I think he'll end up being a really
good passer. I don't know how much they're going to
play him because they have so many dudes, but like
Jabari Smith really good, I'm in Thompson really good. They
have Shane Goon, Dylan Brooks is a psycho, Tarr Easton
is defensive chaos creator. I don't know if they're interested
in winning, but they won more. They forty one and
forty one or forty and forty two last year. Like
(31:46):
that's a team that people don't have penciled into kind
of the playing territory or even the top six running.
It would not shock me if their offense gets a
little bit better. The defense is still elite. And this
is a team that we're talking about like late in
the year as a as a dark horse.
Speaker 5 (31:59):
Well he did it, Jabari. I know you said no
chance he makes it through another rapid fire round of questioning,
But Danny Beans, Dan Favalley, you have done it. You
have made it and we're back, and we're back.
Speaker 4 (32:23):
Oh, Jason, it's been a really fun conversation up until
this point.
Speaker 3 (32:27):
Because you are now in the hot seat. This is
the rapid fire round of budding.
Speaker 4 (32:31):
These are the fastest question and answer segments that we
have ever done in the history of podcasting ever.
Speaker 3 (32:36):
Okay, we're gonna ask a question.
Speaker 4 (32:38):
You just answer it quick, don't think too hard, just
give us the instant reaction. And if you take too
long and threaten our title as fastest question and answer
segment in podcasting history, we will be very rude.
Speaker 5 (32:49):
Okay, just don't make me look like a full in
front of the NBA, Jason. Don't we promise them. We
said the show is going to be mediocre, but the
asked to say the rapid fire segment is.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
Going to be so fastest you've ever seen.
Speaker 4 (33:04):
Just me, we will be able to dunk on everybody
we have on the show, just so you know.
Speaker 5 (33:10):
And your threat, it's a big you're making different anger.
Speaker 4 (33:14):
Yeah, we don't like you. We don't like you, but
it's back. Get the confidence back. Here we go, Jason.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
Are you ready?
Speaker 5 (33:20):
Yeah, let's do it all right?
Speaker 3 (33:22):
Then, here we go.
Speaker 6 (33:22):
Briant.
Speaker 5 (33:28):
Ye right, yeah, yeah, I'm just nervous, man.
Speaker 3 (33:31):
I was just I was just rewatching the video and Jason's.
Speaker 5 (33:33):
Twitterlight real wake off to the highlight reel and the
footnote the show.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
Wow wow wow.
Speaker 5 (33:43):
Uh here here here we go?
Speaker 3 (33:45):
Uh you should we do it?
Speaker 5 (33:47):
Should we do one?
Speaker 3 (33:48):
I mean, sorry, I'm nervous again. I just I was
looking at another replay here.
Speaker 5 (33:52):
Why why don't we kick it off here? Uh? You
want to go? Yeah, I'll go. Okay.
Speaker 4 (33:57):
This is the fastest question and answer segment. Just you know, Jason,
this isn't us being rusty. This is a little bit
of This is how we fake them out, you know
what I mean a little bit.
Speaker 15 (34:05):
Of Is this like when you're on the polygraph where
they ask you all the boring questions first.
Speaker 4 (34:10):
Exactly and just like a polygraph, this is also pseudo scientific.
Here's the first question, Jason, this is from our discord.
Speaker 3 (34:19):
Is there a current comp for pre injury Grant Hill.
Speaker 15 (34:27):
I don't think so that that like super springy two
guard pull up shooter hadn't really been I mean, it
is the closest thing we've had to but most of
the two guards we've had are like the Booker and
hardin types, which are a little bit less athletic, a
little more skill based.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
Mm hmmmmm.
Speaker 5 (34:39):
Okay, okay, that's correct.
Speaker 3 (34:41):
That is correct. That is correct.
Speaker 5 (34:42):
You got that one. I know you said, no way
he gets this one. But he got it.
Speaker 3 (34:46):
He nailed it. I'm nervous now.
Speaker 5 (34:48):
It is currently NBA Dunk Week. So what's your all
time favorite in game dunk and your four dunkers in
your all time fantasy dunk contests? Dunk say dunk?
Speaker 2 (35:00):
There you go, And.
Speaker 15 (35:02):
Admittedly biased, but the Lebron dunk over use of Nurkic.
Every time I see the highlight, I still don't know
how he did it. His body was moving kind of
like away from the rim, and he took off from
like the third hash outside the block and was like
this and just that was absurd. Vince Carter's always number
one for me all time. That Strow Miles Swift video.
Every single time it comes around, I just have to
(35:23):
watch it. That's like one of my rules. I have
a handful of rules as a human. You always watch
the Strow Miles Swift video when it comes around. I'll
go with let's see so Carter, Lebron Stromile' if I
have to give you a fourth, I'll go with I'll
go with T mac Yam.
Speaker 5 (35:39):
Yeah, T Max is getting out to you.
Speaker 3 (35:41):
Got to you got to now.
Speaker 4 (35:43):
I guess this is something since we've been talking about
in the nineties and how younger fans kind of put
or just people who maybe not were as not engaged
with basketball back then, have some misconceptions about the game.
What is one of the biggest misconceptions that people have
about the way the game was played in the eighties
or nineties and the impact that it's had today.
Speaker 15 (36:05):
I think that the idea that that defenses are getting
worse is a major misconception. I think like people forget that,
like the offense, the offense is always improving as we
get better at schemes and understanding how to generate better
shots for people, but also just the skill level of
players is increasing. But at the same time, like it's
not like the league isn't also trying to solve that.
(36:26):
On the defensive end, It's like we're seeing it now
a team's trying to take away the three in the
rim and in different pick and roll coverages that are
designed to get the ball out of the primary ball
handler's hands. Defense is actually better than it's ever been.
It's just the offense is growing at a faster rate.
And I think that a lot of times there's just
a misconception about defense was better in the nineties. It wasn't.
It was really good still, it's just as a league,
(36:48):
the offense is outpacing it right now.
Speaker 5 (36:50):
Yeah, okay, that was the right end you up a
little bit.
Speaker 4 (36:53):
Yeah that was the right answer, Jason, But it took
way too long for you to say that, So I
don't know if we can count that one, just so
you know, but that was the right answered.
Speaker 5 (37:00):
That was all right answer. Give us a dark horse
team for this next year, and also a dark horse
player who you want to see on the twenty twenty
eight Olympic team.
Speaker 15 (37:10):
Dark horse team. I think a lot of people forget
how good Memphis was. I think they're gonna be top
four seed, like right away. I think they they kind
of found a couple of forwards in their system between
like guys like Vince Williams and Gigi Jackson and John Moran.
I'd like I threw out this stat the other day,
like he just immediately came in. It was awesome and
helped them win, win a lot of win a lot
of games. Whore he got hurt? What was the second
(37:30):
part of the question.
Speaker 5 (37:31):
All right, give me a dark horse player? Do you
want to see on the twenty twenty eight Olympic team?
Speaker 15 (37:34):
On the twenty twenty eight Olympic team? Ah, I'll go
with how about Kevin Durant?
Speaker 5 (37:43):
Lebron's a given, let's make back up there.
Speaker 15 (37:46):
But if there was an old guy who would come back,
I'd be him, right because he's such a right like Yeah,
like Katie just taking spot up jump shots.
Speaker 3 (37:54):
Yeah, he's just like he's he's just stuck there in
the corner. Man, just find him.
Speaker 5 (37:58):
He's in love too. Hoop. All right?
Speaker 4 (38:02):
And I got to say, we have seen your mixtape
on the Twitter bio, But what is your personal highlight
for you as a basketball player? Was the nastiest in
game moment for you that you still think about when
you put yourself to bedtnight.
Speaker 5 (38:14):
Oh that's a good question.
Speaker 15 (38:19):
I would say, if I had to off the top
of my head, I would say when I was at
when I was in Juco, I had a tip dunk
once that I surprised myself with where I was coming
down the lane and I was actually just going to
grab the offensive rebound. And when I went up and
got it, I remember vividly in my head like looking
(38:39):
over and seeing the rim like right here, and I
was just like, oh, yeah, but we've had I mean,
we've had that happen to us, dude, Jack and I
a lot, like I'll do.
Speaker 3 (38:48):
It right there.
Speaker 5 (38:49):
Yeah, too often, But it happens too often where I'm
not prepared for how high I jumped, like hoop. I
wish I could get it through my thing. You have
incredible springs down there, buddy, got bunnies.
Speaker 15 (39:06):
I think I think that's probably it. Like I just
like everybody else, there's a there's it's basketball for me,
and I'm sure it is for you guys too, Like
it's it's a thing that's lasted for decades for me.
So I just have, you know a lot of memory,
Like you know, what I've had a lot of fun
with is just like as an old guy playing in
like money tournaments more than there's cash on the line.
Speaker 5 (39:23):
Yeah, I just had.
Speaker 15 (39:24):
I just had one a few weeks ago where I
put in three hundred bucks as an entry feed. Me
and a buddy of mine split the entry fee, and
we brought a team in and like it was double
elimination and we lost in the first championship game. We
had to like come back and win two in a row,
and like the ac was broken in the gym. It
was like eighty five degrees and like those moments when
you like win the cash and like and you're with
a bunch of dudes who used to play in college. Like,
(39:45):
I've actually had a lot of enjoyment in the game
post college, which is something that I didn't expect. The
big part of that is I'm just a lot better
now than I used to be when I was in college.
Speaker 3 (39:52):
Well this this is true. Some white men can jump.
Speaker 5 (39:56):
Yeah, it turns out, and I find it troubling perfectly,
all right.
Speaker 3 (40:01):
Any time you get up there, Jack, You're like, why
am I going so high?
Speaker 5 (40:05):
I'm too high? This can't handle the landing. Miles, Oh Miles,
Oh dear.
Speaker 4 (40:15):
Yes, it is the fourth quarter. It is time for
the rapid fire round of questioning. Dragonfly Jones, you are
one of our favorite guests, one of our favorite people
to talk to.
Speaker 3 (40:23):
Also a fantastic follow on Twitter. If you if you.
Speaker 4 (40:25):
Don't know, you should learn yourself but I'm sorry to
do this to you. You are now in the hot seat.
You know how this goes. We asked the questions. You
don't think about it. You just give us your first instincts.
Speaker 5 (40:37):
Just react.
Speaker 3 (40:38):
Okay, don't give us long winded answers, because we'd like
to keep the temple up like this.
Speaker 4 (40:42):
This segment goes exactly and I will not slow down
my way of speaking, and we will be rude to
you if you slow down the segment. With all that said,
do you consent to being part of this rapid fire
round of question?

Speaker 3 (41:29):
Couldn't Dragonfly Jones?
Speaker 4 (41:31):
What is your all time favorite throwback shoe and jersey?
They don't necessarily have to go together, but please call
out the most powerful basketball garments in the universe.
Speaker 16 (41:39):
This this might be a sleeper pick. It is the
ninety five Jason Kids. If you're flights, Yeah yeah. They
came out in black and white and blue and white,
and the black and white ones, like I got a
pair of those as we speak.
Speaker 5 (41:52):
So those bubble on the side, yep, yeah, yeah, yeah,
a couple.
Speaker 2 (41:55):
Of I think very few.
Speaker 4 (41:58):
I would just like to remind you on the cover
art for this very podcast, I was with Jack got
mad Boostie's my caricature is rocking those exact sneakers because
that is my favorite basketball and we.
Speaker 2 (42:09):
Just think I'm best friends.
Speaker 5 (42:11):
Yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (42:12):
And you know what's funny every time they every time
Nike releases them, they're like sitting and I'm always like,
what's wrong.
Speaker 2 (42:17):
With these kids?
Speaker 5 (42:18):
This is iconic.
Speaker 2 (42:20):
This don't appreciate history, man, that's all that.
Speaker 3 (42:22):
Yeah yep.
Speaker 4 (42:23):
And they're like, well, look at those washed sneakers. They
always say I have washed sneakers, but I'm like, yeah,
they are clean, thanks, kids, just wash okay and Jersey
Jersey Jersey.
Speaker 2 (42:35):
You know. It is you know, keeping with the Jerry
West theme.
Speaker 16 (42:37):
It is the the icy blue Lakers, you know, like
the Jerry West era. I had the Icy Blue Kobe
eight back in like, oh yeah, yeah, so that's my
favorite throwback.
Speaker 3 (42:50):
B Yeah, it's a beautiful jersey.
Speaker 7 (42:52):
It is.
Speaker 4 (42:53):
I love blue, and obviously the Lakers were purple and gold.
So whenever I had a chance to rock that, I will.
And Dragonfly Jones, that was a fantastic answer. But that
to entirely to the next question. I'm sitting over here
checking my non existent watch.
Speaker 5 (43:07):
Well Jack's beard that grew looking like hello, who's there? Uh,
Dragonfly Jones. We are playing pick up with presidents of
these United States. I actually just took the first pick,
and I took Obama. All presidents are in their peak
(43:27):
physical condition. Who are you taking next? Jerald Ford?
Speaker 16 (43:33):
He is perhaps the most accomplished athlete to ever service president.
He was an offensive lineman at Michigan. I know we're
talking basketball, but there's a certain brand of basketball that
football players play where they do all the dirty work.
They set screens, they rebound, they get put backs. You know,
the type of guy that you wanted your things. So
I'll probably go Jeryl Ford. If Obama's off the board.
Speaker 5 (43:54):
God shoul, they're taking Gerald Ford.
Speaker 2 (43:58):
You guys like.
Speaker 16 (43:59):
Obama, man, you got to get is going to be
the guy sting screens for you.
Speaker 5 (44:04):
I am a dirty work kind of player, and I
need somebody who's got a sweet jumper. And that's what
I'm That's why I took Obama first, and I'm going
to get in the middle and tussle with Ford. Spend
the fact that he's gonna.
Speaker 4 (44:17):
Jam all day, like get Eric, like yeah, Zurich and
you're like, thank you, mister, thank.
Speaker 16 (44:24):
You, sir.
Speaker 5 (44:26):
Also, I feel like I'd be interested to see what
Lincoln could do, even though he was president before basketball
was in.
Speaker 12 (44:33):
Each height.
Speaker 5 (44:34):
And also the like he was famous when he was
a young person for being one of the best wrestlers
at that time, Like wrestling was just two people enter
a ring and whoever could knock the other person off
their feet would win. So I just like he just
had natural He naturally had that dog in him. Uh
(44:54):
so Lincoln would have been interesting.
Speaker 4 (44:57):
Lincoln did in fact have that dog in him. Yeah, okay,
next question, Dragonfly. One of these gotta go Little Penny
grandmama or Mars black Man grandmama.
Speaker 16 (45:12):
And the only reason that Grandmama has to go is
because I got to say that the Larry Johnson converces
are the weakest out of that bunch.
Speaker 2 (45:21):
And I thought it was a great gimmick. I thought
Grandmama was a great gimmick. I remember when.
Speaker 16 (45:25):
When you know, he even had the special appearance on
Family Matters, Right, yeah.
Speaker 2 (45:29):
Yeah, great gimmick.
Speaker 16 (45:30):
But but but little Penny, Little Penny was hilarious.
Speaker 2 (45:34):
I love those commercials.
Speaker 16 (45:36):
That's Tyra Banks food like that all the top his day,
Mars Blackman with I mean, it's just so wild to
look back and realize there was an ad campaign with
Michael Jordan and Spike Lee at a point in time, right,
like that's just his but yeah, so so yeah, I
mean LGLJ gets to cut here, unfair.
Speaker 5 (45:56):
Okay, I actually just figured out that that is Larry Johnson.
When you when you just said that, I was like,
you are elderly advertising lj's shoes.
Speaker 4 (46:07):
You're like grandma Ma, who was selling cons with the
react juice. That was Larry Johnson.
Speaker 16 (46:13):
No, and Larry Johnson converse reacts where a awkwa eights
if you really really yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 5 (46:22):
But you don't want to start that conversation, do you.
The NBA always avoiding the hot topics, that's right, Yeah,
all right, give us biggest sleeper team heading into the season.
Speaker 2 (46:36):
Biggest sleeper team heading into the season.
Speaker 5 (46:39):
Hmmm, did you explain that? I know that's okay. Look
you did right.
Speaker 3 (46:47):
He might be going through something I didn't want to.
Speaker 5 (46:50):
I just want to make sure that we covered off
on everything.
Speaker 3 (46:52):
No, we did, No, we did, we did.
Speaker 4 (46:54):
And I'm just going being very rude to him on
text so the listeners don't have to be subjective.
Speaker 2 (46:58):
I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go with the Hornets.
Speaker 5 (47:01):
Wow, Okay, that's it. There are very few answers you
could have given that would have rendered me speechless, but
that so that is one where Vegas is up on them.
They think they're going to get more wins. And I
was trying to figure it out. So now you can
explain it to me. Why are we up on the Hornets.
Speaker 16 (47:22):
I think their coach is going to turn things around there.
Charles Lee got who who was on the uh. He
was assistant on the on the Bucks championship squad, he
was an assistant on the Celtics championship squad. I think
he's got that pedigree there where he's going to turn
things around because I think they got the town. I
think LaMelo is incredible, But I just I feel like
(47:43):
LaMelo's suffering from that whole you know, empty stats, you
know label and and I think a guy like Charlesley
can come in there and turn things around and maximize
that team.
Speaker 2 (47:52):
So I'm going with the Hornets man, Okay.
Speaker 3 (47:53):
I like that.
Speaker 5 (47:54):
I do like that.
Speaker 3 (47:55):
That's a wind in myself.
Speaker 5 (47:57):
LaMelo is has that reputation as an empty stats person,
but like gets everybody involved, does make his teammates better,
is fun to play with, So like, that's that's not
a lot.
Speaker 2 (48:09):
That's I don't care how emptier stats are you fun
to look at.
Speaker 5 (48:11):
If he's playing really well, like I could totally see
that just like being infectious, and like suddenly we're all like,
look at the Hornets. Everybody right, Nobody was predicting this
except Dragon part Jones, who is amazing. Well, thank you
so much for joining us, But well I think you
nailed it right.
Speaker 3 (48:32):
Answers as we look at all Yeah, he did them.
Speaker 5 (48:36):
All all right.
Speaker 1 (48:38):
That will do for Mad Boostie's Best of Rapid Fire
twenty twenty four and we will see you in the
new year.
Speaker 10 (48:45):
Thanks
Well, well, well look who's come crawling back for some
more mad boosties. This is Brian the Editor, that guy
that Miles likes to yell at. And while the guys
are taking it easy, I decided to whip up a
little best of Rapid Fire twenty twenty four featuring Warren Shaw,
Lena Washington, Jasmine Watkins, Dan Favale, Jason Timp and Dragonfly Jones.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Enjoy Lena Washington.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Allst Our Weekend is coming up just very very soon.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
Give me your all time Fantasy Dunk Contest lineup.
Speaker 5 (00:39):
You're picking four dunkers anytime, anytime.
Speaker 6 (00:43):
Time, anytime.
Speaker 7 (00:45):
Well, I have to go Vince Carter, just because it's
Vince Carter.
Speaker 6 (00:52):
Well, he existed, he graced a basketball court.
Speaker 7 (00:57):
He has a pretty decent vertical, so I would assume
he would be able to.
Speaker 6 (01:01):
Add some.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Vince Carter. Yeah, okay, harder, but not Prince Harder.
Speaker 5 (01:13):
When he was passing around some highlights from his rookie
season and just like some of the dunks, like he
was doing some of the dunks that he did in
that dunk contest, like in game.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
Game as a rookie is like wild as he should.
We have to keep this segment moving.
Speaker 7 (01:32):
So okay, so number two of four, I guess maybe
Aaron Gordon, so that he could pair of super elaborate
dunk contest like performance where it's like the drone goes
from Lucas Oil Stadium and then drops the basketball into
(01:52):
the you know, to the arena, and then the led
court lights up and all this stuff and then you know,
the pacers mass Scott comes in and he jumps over
him while doing a full three sixty like active turn
and then losing again.
Speaker 5 (02:07):
Yeah, so I think that would be for these dunks
designed by Doc Brown from you know.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
That that recent that recent hit film from the nineteen Goldberg. Okay,
you got to Who's four two?
Speaker 7 (02:25):
Feel obligated to say, Lebron James just because Miles, you
could be a part of it.
Speaker 6 (02:31):
He could just like walk up to and over you
and then just.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Say yeah or hold me like a baby and be
like and be like you're my yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Oh yeah he rocked rocks the cradle, but it's me
in his arms and then throws me through the hoop
and I don't have serious injury from it.
Speaker 6 (02:52):
What's what the medics are involved? But this is again
just like envisioning this Mountains of Dunk.
Speaker 7 (02:58):
Specifically and like who would be able to execute them best?
Speaker 6 (03:01):
And then maybe if there's.
Speaker 7 (03:02):
Some backstory or contacts that would add to the of
the show. So only if files is involved in Lebron's
done what I want you?
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Thank you?
Speaker 5 (03:11):
Pronounced pizzas?
Speaker 8 (03:13):
But okay, and the fourth before, uh you know, how
about what was his name?
Speaker 7 (03:25):
Was?
Speaker 8 (03:25):
It was it?
Speaker 6 (03:26):
Uh Mac McClung. Who wanted the other?
Speaker 5 (03:30):
Was that his name?
Speaker 6 (03:33):
Mac?
Speaker 8 (03:35):
How can?
Speaker 5 (03:39):
Yeah? Was that last time? Shoot? Yeah it was? It was.
Speaker 6 (03:47):
Flies when you're you're sipping the Mac mcclum kool aid.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
I know, you know?
Speaker 5 (03:52):
Is that I don't I don't know what happened, and
I haven't followed his career. Uh, Lena, Unfortunately you did
not best five years for Vince Carter, so it will
be modern day Vince Carter and the Dunk contest. Unfortunately,
so I think it's still it'd still be good.
Speaker 6 (04:12):
Still got it?
Speaker 5 (04:13):
Yeah? All right? So yeah that was good. You know, Yeah,
it was not fast enough, but you nailed it. Anyways,
it was it was highly entertaining. What school yard game
do you want to see added to the All Star weekend?
It can be you know, I think we said we
were saying the Pro Bowl, we've we've seen due dodgeball
(04:34):
and a tug of war. What game would you like
to see NBA players compete against one another?
Speaker 7 (04:41):
I'll give I'll give three, okay, just because I can't choose,
and I know, I know this is like a really
like I have to answer quickly.
Speaker 6 (04:49):
I just wanted to be really thorough. So the first
of the four square.
Speaker 7 (04:53):
Because I know athlete can be very competitive.
Speaker 9 (04:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (04:58):
Yeah, well our.
Speaker 7 (05:00):
Games and you got to play house rules your cherry popcorn?
Speaker 5 (05:03):
Popcorn? What are we talking that? Yeah?
Speaker 7 (05:07):
Yeah, so so that I read, imagine just see the
pure violence of being clotheslined by running at full speed
into your friends. Maybe some broken maybe on bones popping out.
Speaker 5 (05:24):
Yeah, it could be like that Last Survivor show where
all of the like most powerful people in the government
get blown up and Keeper Sutherland is like the guy
who is designated survivor, and like it would be the
NBA version that where all the best players just have
their arms like ripped out of their sockets. And so
(05:46):
it's like macmcu long is leading the league in scoring
in the playoffs.
Speaker 7 (05:55):
Team and then the third I would probably want to see,
is teather.
Speaker 10 (05:59):
Ball each other?
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Oh wow?
Speaker 6 (06:02):
More of a controlled environment. Yeah, so it really takes
skill focus. I would liken it to like.
Speaker 7 (06:08):
A tennis match, so it's just you and no coaching allowed,
and it's just a ball on a string and your
opponent and you're just trying to see who's going to
of wind that rode around that hole faster. So I
would say those three red rovert, courseware and tether ball
need to become Olympic sports by twenty eight.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
We just have this from the judges. Lean you got
two of the three right. Unfortunately we can't tell you
which one was wrong. But I do have to ask
you this question, which I think you can get right.
Who's the greatest Sons player ever? And who's the most underrated.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Sons player of your fandom?
Speaker 7 (06:46):
I mean, I have to say Charles Berkley is my
favorite Sons player ever, from what he meant to the city,
what he did when he was part of the team,
to now, you know, actually claiming the valley and claiming
this team underrated.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
M hm.
Speaker 7 (07:03):
You know in line of his retirement, Goran Dragic the
Dragon himself, I will say he didn't.
Speaker 6 (07:10):
Get a lot of love, but he was an.
Speaker 7 (07:13):
Instrumental figure and some some fun teams to watch out here.
So maybe that's recency bias, but just thinking about him
hanging it up and then just remembering his times here
and you know, bringing his twin.
Speaker 6 (07:26):
Brother along also for some of those rides. Those will
be my two.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
So you're gonna get the throwback you have.
Speaker 7 (07:33):
You have a drug show when I have a Sean
Marrion throwback jersey. So that was pretty cool?
Speaker 6 (07:38):
Is yeah?
Speaker 7 (07:39):
His his number in Jersey retired in the Ring of Honor.
So yeahr Stotto Meyer's next. So, uh, you're in Phoenix,
come check it out.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
I will bring my goggles.
Speaker 5 (07:52):
Ck oh my favorite show.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Have you seen?
Speaker 5 (08:00):
He has the funniest takes on just the stuff that's
I just keep I keep saying to myself, can he.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Say you guy's got something, This guy's got something? Should
you go first? Check or show I go?
Speaker 5 (08:13):
I would love to go first. Miles, Thank you for asking.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
You were very welcome.
Speaker 5 (08:17):
Jazz. You could have any player's skill set for a day,
but it has to be a non basketball skill. Who
are you picking him? What skill?
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Oh, like Rondo's like roller skating ability or.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
Rondo's roller skating Steph Curry's golf swing one of the pest. Yeah,
Waymintondale's base.
Speaker 11 (08:37):
Oh oh wait wait wait wait? Who played saxophone? Somebody
plays a really mean.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
That was Bill Clinton? He was the president. No, I
get I always think Bill Clinton was in the NBA too.
Speaker 11 (08:51):
No, I want to say. I want to say David Robinson,
David Racks. Somebody plays the phone from Maxic Johnson and
I think it was like.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
A oh David Rockin.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
Yeah, wow, wow, we got to go in the vault
for that one.
Speaker 5 (09:11):
Hold on here it is.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
Yeah, look at Magic. You got a tear in his
eye like he just watched the Lakers player or something.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Anyway, that's beautiful. That's a beautiful answer. Are you a
musician though, No, but you yeah, Okay, that makes sense.
That makes sense.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
Okay, Jasmine, we got a time machine, but it's a
Lakers specific time machine, and you can go back in
time to see any of these moments I'm about to
give you.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Choose one.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
Magic's game winner, baby skyhooking, Game four at the Garden
in eighty seven, Game seven twenty ten, you know what
time it is, and also the Lakers title game in
the bubble, verst the heat.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Those are you three options? Where are you taking the time.
Speaker 11 (10:02):
Machine twenty ten?
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Yeah? Easy, yep, yep.
Speaker 5 (10:07):
It still chasing that feeling.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
I gotta tell you, still chasing that still.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Chasing that feeling.
Speaker 5 (10:13):
Okay, next over the Celtics. Yeah, yeah, yeah, because I mean.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
Look, they they they gave it to us, and we
said to say, okay, let me regroup real quick.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
I think we got something for you. We got something
for you.
Speaker 5 (10:27):
Unfortunately, you do have COVID antibodies and you're able to
spread COVID back in twenty ten, So time traveling there
was the wrong answer. You've started the pandemic ten years earlier.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Messed up.
Speaker 5 (10:42):
That's keep questions. Yeah, all right, more likely to happen.
And why Pacers Eastern Conference Final run or Clippers Western
Conference Finals run?
Speaker 11 (10:58):
Pacers? I think Halliburt they got the Kaylen Clark magic
around them, and I don't think the world is ready
to see or we're not ready for Caliburn's outfits to
leave us, so he can't be out. He needed some
more games, yea, And I will never pick Clippers no
matter what.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Right that makes that makes sense, That makes sense.
Speaker 5 (11:19):
Wait would they who are they playing the second round?
Are the Pacers playing the Celtics second round? Or are
they playing the Knicks?
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Oh? They are playing whatever Nick Nicks.
Speaker 5 (11:33):
All right, yeah I can see that. I can assuming
you know the Sixers don't come back. Mm hmm right, yeah,
tried to. Did you see him? You're crazy and assume that.
Speaker 10 (11:45):
His eyes inside It's fine.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
His eyes did the bone Thugs thing again?
Speaker 5 (11:50):
Just one black? He didn't where am I?
Speaker 4 (11:55):
And in this version his uncle Charles was Barkley when
you played on the Sixers?
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Wrong'll y'all, Jasmine.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
I want to show you some fantastic nineties throwback jerseys.
Pick your top three from these coveted, coveted, iconic basketball
jersey designs from the nineties.
Speaker 5 (12:16):
Oh, I'm gonna go hornets, Okay, Larry Johnson's Larry Johnson
era pinstripes t L pin stripes, great.
Speaker 10 (12:28):
Yeah, this is tough.
Speaker 11 (12:31):
I'm gonna go magic. I'm trying not to be all pinstripey.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
But wow, yeah, it is iconic.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
The pins shack yeah, shat era b royal blue with
pin stripes.
Speaker 11 (12:42):
I would say bulls, but I'm not gonna go three
pin stripes. I'm gonna go Sixers just because that was
a golden era of six Ers jerseys.
Speaker 5 (12:49):
Yeah, great Sixers jersey iverson era basketball swooshing By. There's
something going on with the I. I forget what. It's
got a star on. It got a star.
Speaker 6 (12:59):
That's all.
Speaker 11 (13:00):
That made me very sad because I'm thinking about like
Sixers now, no shade like ta Wolves now, all the
jerseys suck.
Speaker 5 (13:08):
Jerseys aren't aren't the best, not the best and can get.
Speaker 11 (13:11):
Timberwolves from from whatever they got on now it's too
clean like that KG ruggedness.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
Yeah, exactly, like I want to I want to picture
Steffan in that thing, like is that Yeah, it's well,
it's funny too because like the best jerseys like every
year are when they're like we're bringing that one back
from the nineties. You're like, yo, like I got like
I got the Grizzly I got a Grizzlies jersey because
they did the Vancouver one.
Speaker 5 (13:36):
Oh oh.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
Because at the time I was also a big Sharif
abdoor Raheem fan too, was kind of nostalgic for me.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
But anyway, look, see just ask me, we got to
keep this going, Jack, Do.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
You have a sorry question? Another question.
Speaker 5 (13:49):
Yeah, our final question, what is the one moment or
game from NBA history that you wish Twitter had been
around for obviously pre to thousand and whatever, year nine
or six.
Speaker 11 (14:04):
Yeah, just for the discourse. I know it's an easy one,
but I would go Finals Jazz Bulls, Jordan's push off
Diddy Didney, Oh, because I would want to see everybody
dissect that plane.
Speaker 10 (14:19):
Yeah, and to obliviate.
Speaker 5 (14:22):
Be flu game conspiracy theories right away.
Speaker 11 (14:25):
You know it was pizza, but yeah, yeah, you see
it's so much drama around that.
Speaker 5 (14:31):
Oh yeah, Jordan's not the goat that would have also
been the big Yeah.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
Could you imagine some clowns just like saying that with
their whole chest. You're like, yeah, okay, yeah, well you
know what, I'm gonna save this tweet for twenty years exactly.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
It's Bob Cousy.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
It's Bob Coosy always was.
Speaker 5 (14:55):
George Might.
Speaker 6 (14:57):
Unfair shade.
Speaker 11 (14:58):
He was good, and I just feel like everybody him
because he is not as good as the generation is
coming after him obviously.
Speaker 5 (15:04):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, it's just like thee of him
dribbling around like it looks like he had just invented
dribbling like fifteen seconds before that clip, he's.
Speaker 12 (15:14):
Like, look at what I can do with the ball.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
Yeah, spinning, spinning around.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
That always shows you like like why, Like you know,
when we started the show, it's always about like the
game is always evolving like forward and getting better and
better and better, and like that's where we start. And
look at where we're at now with like the kind
of stuff we see Aunt do and everybody.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Ah, anyway, it's it's good times. It's good times for
the neutral. And I now declare myself a netrol.
Speaker 5 (15:41):
To be a neutral and an hour and just come
to the light.
Speaker 12 (15:46):
Now, come to the light now, and we're back.
Speaker 5 (15:58):
Warrenshaw.
Speaker 4 (16:00):

favorite Celtics fan.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
I gotta say, you know, because because.
Speaker 5 (16:08):
Not tough competition man Love.
Speaker 9 (16:10):
Well, yeah, I think you're my favorite child and my
own child.
Speaker 5 (16:16):
You or Donnie Wahlberg.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Wasn't Donnie at the game the other night?
Speaker 9 (16:23):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
But anyway, it is time for the fourth quarter rapid
fire rout of questioning. This is the fastest question answer
segment in all sports podcasting history. Warren, you've done this before.
We're going to ask you a question, just reply quickly,
give us a sinct answer. Don't nothing too long because
we're trying to maintain our titles. The fastest question, answer
segment and pop past history. And if you take too long,
we will be rude to you, and we will take
(16:46):
our anger out as Sixers and Lakers fans on you
in a way that is disproportionate and maybe inappropriate. But
you're a brave person, you're stand up man, so we
expect nothing less from you.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Are you ready?
Speaker 10 (16:59):
Does it get a pop?
Speaker 5 (17:00):
Right?
Speaker 6 (17:00):
Start the clock?
Speaker 4 (17:04):
Don't do any easy ones, Jack, but we gotta we
gotta make Warren.
Speaker 5 (17:08):
Look, I'm crossing the ones out right now.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
Yeah, good ones, pull up, pull up his phone records,
pull up his phone records.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Do that one?
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Yeah, the ones from June twenty thirteen.
Speaker 9 (17:18):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Old Warren.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
Oh, you made a lot of calls to this number.
Speaker 5 (17:25):
Okay, here we go. Uh.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
First question, this is from the discord and shout out
to everybody that goes on the discord. What what what
will the crowd reaction be like in Boston if it's
Kyrie and the MAVs rolling into town, will the turned
up crowd get guys like Luca and Kyrie going. Will
it be an atmosphere that will just be terrible for everyone?
What are your what's your thoughts on the atmosphere when
they come to town?
Speaker 9 (17:47):
Crash negative something, no chill, no chill. So it's gonna
be awful. And that's the one part I don't want.
Any part of Kyrie is gonna rains of booze. And
I just they don't throw stuff, That's all I can say.
Just it's not a great fan base when it comes
to Kyrie.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
Sure, sure, sure, And like much of the way that
you're powered by the tiers of Laker fans, Kyrie is
powered by the booze of Boston fans.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
So yeah, that could, that could. Yeah, that's a battery
for him, for sure.
Speaker 5 (18:13):
There's been a lot of talk about how the home
court advantage has gone away. People aren't like doing that
much better at home, if better at all at home?
What do you think? What's your theory on that?
Speaker 9 (18:24):
Funny listening to a show talking about that earlier today,
and rest has a lot to do with it, you know,
I think so the visiting team can kind of come
in and you know, the.
Speaker 10 (18:31):
Travel is better, et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 9 (18:34):
But I just think teams are better proportionately matched in
general from what we've seen more recently in recent years.
So I don't think home court advenge is what it
once was, but you know, I'd still rather have it
than not, but it doesn't hold.
Speaker 10 (18:48):
The same weight that I think it did fifteen ten
years ago.
Speaker 5 (18:51):
Also, there's something we've talked about in the past about
NBA players being sort of SPIKEE fueled and like feeling
like everybody it's them against the world. I wonder if
like there's a part of it where like they react
better to people like hating on them, Like yeah, right, exactly.
(19:11):
Like a lot of it is like, you know, just
made up hate, but like you know, you have to
motivate yourself somehow, but like it when you're on the road,
you actually get to like hear it and feel it.
And it's like the type of person who becomes a
great player these days has to do it in the
face of just torrents of you know, hate on social media.
(19:33):
I just wonder if, like, for a modern player, that
is a more effective way to get going than like
the adulation of the home crowd is like curing booze
and anger. Right, that's my that's my loose, uh, soft brained.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
You're like yeah, and then like people like MJ and
then Kobe kind of really made it that thing where
it's like, yeah, go ahead, I want to hear it,
and then you stick that job out.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
And you're like you're in trouble. But that was a
long time ago.
Speaker 5 (20:03):
Yeah, But like, I feel like the feeling of quieting
a crowd something that I have a lot of experience
with in our live shows. I feel like that's got
to be one of the more powerful feelings that you
can get.
Speaker 10 (20:18):
I can give you a terrible example.
Speaker 9 (20:19):
I played intramural yeah basketball when I did, and we
played against those frats and yeah, you know, they brought
their sorority girls out and they're h and my little
pickup team you beat them.
Speaker 10 (20:32):
I felt some type of way. Yeah, that's true motivation.
So yeah, translates all levels.
Speaker 5 (20:38):
That is the experience of playing against the Boston Celtics,
by the way, is playing against a fraternity with a
bunch of play. We're playing sap.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
Baby line was Pike so okay, yeah, oh and gammified
Beta coming.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Don't worry, don't worry. I will.
Speaker 4 (20:58):
I'll probably hit a air ball or two in that game.
All right, was that a question or are you getting sure?
Speaker 5 (21:04):
Let's go say that was a question.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Okay, that was a question, all right, Warred.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
You can go back in time to personally witness any
finals matchup from history. However many games a series went,
you get courtside tickets to each game.
Speaker 10 (21:15):
What series are you sitting courts with?
Speaker 5 (21:17):
Heat? Series are you choosing?
Speaker 10 (21:19):
God, i'd go.
Speaker 9 (21:23):
Back into I can't remember what year I'm gonna get
it wrong, but obviously one of the ones Bird beat Magic,
So you know, I don't know if that's.
Speaker 10 (21:34):
Four fives one of those one of those years.
Speaker 9 (21:37):
So I was, you know, a fledgling individual at that
at that time of my life and wasn't really following
basketball in that But I think you just understanding what
that rivalry.
Speaker 10 (21:46):
Was like, not the first, but the most.
Speaker 9 (21:49):
No, I don't only say, I want to say this right,
one of the more iconic rivalries in NBA history, you know, Bird.
Speaker 10 (21:54):
Versus Magic, And yeah, for sure, something that I can
definitely relate to.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
It's the year of my birth, nineteen eighty four.
Speaker 5 (22:00):
The amount of second hand smoke you're gonna have to
deal with back there though.
Speaker 9 (22:03):
Man oh yeah, yeah yeah and Rady and cigars.
Speaker 5 (22:07):
Yeah, I'm good, yeah, saying eighty seven better? Maybe why okay?
Places of the NBA for the next five years?
Speaker 10 (22:18):
Uh shaye?
Speaker 5 (22:20):
Aunt Wemby sha't Webby? Okay, who's Aunt Wemby?
Speaker 2 (22:28):
That's my aunt Wenby?
Speaker 5 (22:29):
Is it not Luca? Because of how bad his forearm
tattoo is, Like that's that's one of the worst professional
athlete tattoos, right, Like I say, sometimes I'm like, what
did he smear on there? What is going on with
Like there's like a you know what I mean, it's
like kind of what.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
He what's he smearing on?
Speaker 5 (22:51):
Like smeared a little bit?
Speaker 4 (22:53):
It's uh, it's hard to do, isn't it? Like an eye,
like an all seeing eye kind of thing. And I
think like a hawk flying into the moon.
Speaker 5 (23:04):
Hey, I can't hate, all right, I can't hate. You've
seen the little sun rise I have at the base
of my back, so yeah, exactly, I can't. I can't complain.
I'm oh yeah, yeah, oh.
Speaker 10 (23:15):
Yeah, he does front and back.
Speaker 5 (23:19):
So Warren, we've seen teams und my belly but brought
in the style.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
Is it Reggie, who is it?
Speaker 4 (23:26):
So we got teams like the Grizzlies, thunder Magic taking
steps you know, to.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
The next level over the last few years.
Speaker 4 (23:32):
Who are Can you give us two teams you think
we can also expect something similar from that are going
to be in the conversation that previously wasn't because.
Speaker 10 (23:40):
We're seeing that is not those teams you just mentioned.
Speaker 4 (23:43):
Yeah, he's the ones that fully encapsulate what I've just said,
go outside the bounds and give us a prediction.
Speaker 9 (23:51):
So listen, I think Houston's closer than people want to admit. Yeah,
coaching is a real situation there, and I love Shangoon
and a thing jelling is is going to be a dude,
So I'd pick Houston there, you know, try and think
from an Eastern Conference standpoint. There's not a lot like
right now you have mentioned right, so yeah, you know,
(24:17):
I would hope Detroit gets rocked together, but they're nowhere
near where they be. So I guess I'll go with
the safe pick care and then in your conference finals,
and I.
Speaker 10 (24:25):
Guess the Pacers we'll see them again. They should be
so good.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
So I mean, man like Memo hard Yeah, he's you
talked about like you thought he would be the last time.
Speaker 10 (24:35):
Me too.
Speaker 9 (24:36):
You know, yeah, he's not particularly quick, but he's crafty
and you know a little half turns doing the smitty
and you know leanings and decent shot, you know, the
little goose snake on his threes.
Speaker 10 (24:47):
Hey, I could rock with that.
Speaker 5 (24:49):
I could rock.
Speaker 10 (24:49):
I think you're a super producer saying the Spurs.
Speaker 9 (24:52):
But until they can get some help someone rights, it's
basically us three running around with right now. And that's
that's not gonna cut it right.
Speaker 5 (25:01):
Over under a number of seasons until Wemby is top
three MVP voter.
Speaker 9 (25:09):
Uh so over under I'm going to say over one,
but i'd say literally in year three.
Speaker 5 (25:17):
So wow, that's crazy.
Speaker 9 (25:20):
Okay, Yeah, I mean and and I mean that's that's
contradicting what I just said though in terms of Spurs
won't be a good basketball team, you know, record wise,
but I don't know that we'll be able to deny
his his statistical impact. And if you know, people do say,
you know what, I want to go play with that guy,
you know, the Alien or whatever his logo is.
Speaker 10 (25:36):
Yeah, you know, maybe they will be able to rebuild
a lot faster, but he's ridiculous.
Speaker 9 (25:41):
Yeah, yeah, it's hard to for somebody to live up
to the expectations in that first year that that was
put on him too.
Speaker 10 (25:48):
And I know, you guys rode up summer League and.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
I don't.
Speaker 5 (25:51):
I don't.
Speaker 9 (25:51):
Don't you remember the spectacle that it was, you know, yeah,
trying to watch him out there?
Speaker 5 (25:55):
It was actually was he there?
Speaker 4 (25:58):
I didn't do you remember the how quiet it got
in Thomason Max Center. This second will touch the ball
even everyone's watch, Yeah, and they're like, oh my god,
he missed that dunk.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
And I was like, this guy is a way stroll.
Speaker 5 (26:12):
He's I'm calling it.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
I'm out on this webby guy.
Speaker 5 (26:15):
And then he almost hit his head on the rim,
just like walking by, and I was like, oh, oh,
this is gonna be weird.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
He needs spacial awareness, uh, A warrant.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
Finally, this summer, you know, we're planning on doing a
dive into some nineties players, some of our favorites of
the era.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
During the offseason.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
We're going to highlight different players, give us a few
recommendations of people that you think you know, especially for
newer fans, nineties era players that we absolutely they need
to be familiar with Well.
Speaker 9 (26:40):
I think I spoke about this maybe the last time
I was on, but I'm definitely it's an only good
a bit of goodie for me, the draws and Petrovitch nets.
So what Derek Holeman as well to d C was
a problem.
Speaker 10 (26:51):
He wasn't always motivated, but yeah, he was a problem
back in the nineties.
Speaker 9 (26:56):
And then to keep it h Boston centric j Lewis,
you know, and not to make you know, not to
be morbid about it in any capacity. Obviously he passed on. Uh,
but he was a bucket, you know, he could he
could really hoop. So those are guys I think, you know,
people would love it, should should want to learn more
about you know, those those those.
Speaker 10 (27:12):
Three guys, if you will.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
Yeah, man, he kept that four four on him.
Speaker 9 (27:16):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
Well, warren Shaw, it has been a pleasure and an
honor having you on Miles and Jack on Mad BOOSTI
so you could sip on our loser tears this episode.
Speaker 5 (27:26):
Yeah, we'd love to have you back on if the
Celtics don't win the title. Man, we got love to
We would love to have you back on if they win.
It's been nice meeting you. Good luck, yeah, good luck.
Speaker 4 (27:38):
At your future endeavors, but we will not be able
to look.
Speaker 5 (27:41):
You in the eye if you just and Dan. So
this is the fastest segment in uh, not just basketball podcasting,
podcasting in general. We can ask you questions you're coming
back with just the first answers that come out of
your brain. Uh, just sounds whatever, It can be pre lingual.
We just want we want it fast, okay, and if
(28:02):
you slow it down at all, we will blame you
and hold it against you. Does that sound good? Yeah?
All right, Brian, start the clock. I don't like that.
I don't I don't feel good it does. It's not
becoming Brian. It's okay. If you don't, you know, do
whatever you want. All right. We've been asking our guests
(28:28):
what is the official state bird of your state? In
this case New York, the blue jay? I have no idea. Yeah,
we we don't know. We don't care about that. What
is the unofficial state bird of New York?
Speaker 7 (28:44):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (28:46):
Like a probably a crow? Black crow? Yeah, okay, yeah,
that is incorrect. We would accept trash pigeon, big bird,
but the suit smells like urine, or just straight up
a rat. Any of those would have been okay, Yeah,
all right, Jabari, unto you.
Speaker 13 (29:07):
What is your favorite all time throwback shoe and jersey?
Speaker 3 (29:11):
And I noticed you got a Team Mac jersey back there,
But would that be in there?
Speaker 8 (29:16):
No?
Speaker 14 (29:16):
My favorite throwback jersey would be those Vancouver Grizzlies, like
teal jerseys or just spectacular yeah with the bear.
Speaker 5 (29:23):
Oh yeah, they got the bear on there.
Speaker 14 (29:25):
My favorite throwback shoe, I would be a Team AC
shoe if you guys. I don't remember the actual addition
of it, but it was from Adidas that had like
the spider web with the blue like it was white
and had like the blue lines that looked like spider webs.
Speaker 5 (29:36):
It was in all those gop Milk magazine ads.
Speaker 14 (29:39):
When I finally capped the pair of those and I
was playing youth basketball, I thought I was so freaking cool.
Speaker 5 (29:44):
Those those were awesome. Man. I just googled t back
throwback spider web and Google does not know what to
do with that. So, all right, what's the best slice
for your money in All New York? Ooh? Uh pizza?
Speaker 14 (30:03):
Oh no, not cheesecakey thing about that? Then two brothers
or two boots. There's like a place in Rockefeller Center
or something that's the best pizza I ever had.
Speaker 5 (30:12):
It's like some hole in the wall place.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
They might be called like two Boots Pizza or something.
Speaker 5 (30:17):
Really Rockefeller Center hot, Damn the Rockefellers still doing it
after all these years. All right, that is also incorrect,
but I won't get into it. I'm a fan of
John's or Bleaker Street Pizza, but those are both happened
to be around where I lived when I was in
New York, so uh, probably biased, Jabari, what you got?
Speaker 2 (30:41):
All right?
Speaker 3 (30:41):
You know we're heading into the year.
Speaker 13 (30:43):
We're doing all these fantastic breakdowns Southeast Division. Of course,
what is your biggest sleeper team or sleep What are
your sleeper teams setting into the season.
Speaker 14 (30:51):
I just want to pick the Pelicans, so you guys
could yell at me again like you have the pass.
Speaker 5 (30:57):
I don't know, I kind of like it. I feel
like people forgot that Dejonte is on the Pelicans.
Speaker 14 (31:01):
Now they don't have any centers, so it's like easy
to forget them against the place center there. I think
for the sake of variety, the Houston Rockets have like
twenty five guys that belong to an NBA rotation, and
I actually think that we're gonna look back on this
draft and wonder why Reed Shepherd wasn't taken number one.
That guy gives off like Steph Curry vibes and just
(31:24):
the way he gets to his mid range, the shooting
in general. I think he'll end up being a really
good passer. I don't know how much they're going to
play him because they have so many dudes, but like
Jabari Smith really good, I'm in Thompson really good. They
have Shane Goon, Dylan Brooks is a psycho, Tarr Easton
is defensive chaos creator. I don't know if they're interested
in winning, but they won more. They forty one and
forty one or forty and forty two last year. Like
(31:46):
that's a team that people don't have penciled into kind
of the playing territory or even the top six running.
It would not shock me if their offense gets a
little bit better. The defense is still elite. And this
is a team that we're talking about like late in
the year as a as a dark horse.
Speaker 5 (31:59):
Well he did it, Jabari. I know you said no
chance he makes it through another rapid fire round of questioning,
But Danny Beans, Dan Favalley, you have done it. You
have made it and we're back, and we're back.
Speaker 4 (32:23):
Oh, Jason, it's been a really fun conversation up until
this point.
Speaker 3 (32:27):
Because you are now in the hot seat. This is
the rapid fire round of budding.
Speaker 4 (32:31):
These are the fastest question and answer segments that we
have ever done in the history of podcasting ever.
Speaker 3 (32:36):
Okay, we're gonna ask a question.
Speaker 4 (32:38):
You just answer it quick, don't think too hard, just
give us the instant reaction. And if you take too
long and threaten our title as fastest question and answer
segment in podcasting history, we will be very rude.
Speaker 5 (32:49):
Okay, just don't make me look like a full in
front of the NBA, Jason. Don't we promise them. We
said the show is going to be mediocre, but the
asked to say the rapid fire segment is.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
Going to be so fastest you've ever seen.
Speaker 4 (33:04):
Just me, we will be able to dunk on everybody
we have on the show, just so you know.
Speaker 5 (33:10):
And your threat, it's a big you're making different anger.
Speaker 4 (33:14):
Yeah, we don't like you. We don't like you, but
it's back. Get the confidence back. Here we go, Jason.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
Are you ready?
Speaker 5 (33:20):
Yeah, let's do it all right?
Speaker 3 (33:22):
Then, here we go.
Speaker 6 (33:22):
Briant.
Speaker 5 (33:28):
Ye right, yeah, yeah, I'm just nervous, man.
Speaker 3 (33:31):
I was just I was just rewatching the video and Jason's.
Speaker 5 (33:33):
Twitterlight real wake off to the highlight reel and the
footnote the show.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
Wow wow wow.
Speaker 5 (33:43):
Uh here here here we go?
Speaker 3 (33:45):
Uh you should we do it?
Speaker 5 (33:47):
Should we do one?
Speaker 3 (33:48):
I mean, sorry, I'm nervous again. I just I was
looking at another replay here.
Speaker 5 (33:52):
Why why don't we kick it off here? Uh? You
want to go? Yeah, I'll go. Okay.
Speaker 4 (33:57):
This is the fastest question and answer segment. Just you know, Jason,
this isn't us being rusty. This is a little bit
of This is how we fake them out, you know
what I mean a little bit.
Speaker 15 (34:05):
Of Is this like when you're on the polygraph where
they ask you all the boring questions first.
Speaker 4 (34:10):
Exactly and just like a polygraph, this is also pseudo scientific.
Here's the first question, Jason, this is from our discord.
Speaker 3 (34:19):
Is there a current comp for pre injury Grant Hill.
Speaker 15 (34:27):
I don't think so that that like super springy two
guard pull up shooter hadn't really been I mean, it
is the closest thing we've had to but most of
the two guards we've had are like the Booker and
hardin types, which are a little bit less athletic, a
little more skill based.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
Mm hmmmmm.
Speaker 5 (34:39):
Okay, okay, that's correct.
Speaker 3 (34:41):
That is correct. That is correct.
Speaker 5 (34:42):
You got that one. I know you said, no way
he gets this one. But he got it.
Speaker 3 (34:46):
He nailed it. I'm nervous now.
Speaker 5 (34:48):
It is currently NBA Dunk Week. So what's your all
time favorite in game dunk and your four dunkers in
your all time fantasy dunk contests? Dunk say dunk?
Speaker 2 (35:00):
There you go, And.
Speaker 15 (35:02):
Admittedly biased, but the Lebron dunk over use of Nurkic.
Every time I see the highlight, I still don't know
how he did it. His body was moving kind of
like away from the rim, and he took off from
like the third hash outside the block and was like
this and just that was absurd. Vince Carter's always number
one for me all time. That Strow Miles Swift video.
Every single time it comes around, I just have to
(35:23):
watch it. That's like one of my rules. I have
a handful of rules as a human. You always watch
the Strow Miles Swift video when it comes around. I'll
go with let's see so Carter, Lebron Stromile' if I
have to give you a fourth, I'll go with I'll
go with T mac Yam.
Speaker 5 (35:39):
Yeah, T Max is getting out to you.
Speaker 3 (35:41):
Got to you got to now.
Speaker 4 (35:43):
I guess this is something since we've been talking about
in the nineties and how younger fans kind of put
or just people who maybe not were as not engaged
with basketball back then, have some misconceptions about the game.
What is one of the biggest misconceptions that people have
about the way the game was played in the eighties
or nineties and the impact that it's had today.
Speaker 15 (36:05):
I think that the idea that that defenses are getting
worse is a major misconception. I think like people forget that,
like the offense, the offense is always improving as we
get better at schemes and understanding how to generate better
shots for people, but also just the skill level of
players is increasing. But at the same time, like it's
not like the league isn't also trying to solve that.
(36:26):
On the defensive end, It's like we're seeing it now
a team's trying to take away the three in the
rim and in different pick and roll coverages that are
designed to get the ball out of the primary ball
handler's hands. Defense is actually better than it's ever been.
It's just the offense is growing at a faster rate.
And I think that a lot of times there's just
a misconception about defense was better in the nineties. It wasn't.
It was really good still, it's just as a league,
(36:48):
the offense is outpacing it right now.
Speaker 5 (36:50):
Yeah, okay, that was the right end you up a
little bit.
Speaker 4 (36:53):
Yeah that was the right answer, Jason, But it took
way too long for you to say that, So I
don't know if we can count that one, just so
you know, but that was the right answered.
Speaker 5 (37:00):
That was all right answer. Give us a dark horse
team for this next year, and also a dark horse
player who you want to see on the twenty twenty
eight Olympic team.
Speaker 15 (37:10):
Dark horse team. I think a lot of people forget
how good Memphis was. I think they're gonna be top
four seed, like right away. I think they they kind
of found a couple of forwards in their system between
like guys like Vince Williams and Gigi Jackson and John Moran.
I'd like I threw out this stat the other day,
like he just immediately came in. It was awesome and
helped them win, win a lot of win a lot
of games. Whore he got hurt? What was the second
(37:30):
part of the question.
Speaker 5 (37:31):
All right, give me a dark horse player? Do you
want to see on the twenty twenty eight Olympic team?
Speaker 15 (37:34):
On the twenty twenty eight Olympic team? Ah, I'll go
with how about Kevin Durant?
Speaker 5 (37:43):
Lebron's a given, let's make back up there.
Speaker 15 (37:46):
But if there was an old guy who would come back,
I'd be him, right because he's such a right like Yeah,
like Katie just taking spot up jump shots.
Speaker 3 (37:54):
Yeah, he's just like he's he's just stuck there in
the corner. Man, just find him.
Speaker 5 (37:58):
He's in love too. Hoop. All right?
Speaker 4 (38:02):
And I got to say, we have seen your mixtape
on the Twitter bio, But what is your personal highlight
for you as a basketball player? Was the nastiest in
game moment for you that you still think about when
you put yourself to bedtnight.
Speaker 5 (38:14):
Oh that's a good question.
Speaker 15 (38:19):
I would say, if I had to off the top
of my head, I would say when I was at
when I was in Juco, I had a tip dunk
once that I surprised myself with where I was coming
down the lane and I was actually just going to
grab the offensive rebound. And when I went up and
got it, I remember vividly in my head like looking
(38:39):
over and seeing the rim like right here, and I
was just like, oh, yeah, but we've had I mean,
we've had that happen to us, dude, Jack and I
a lot, like I'll do.
Speaker 3 (38:48):
It right there.
Speaker 5 (38:49):
Yeah, too often, But it happens too often where I'm
not prepared for how high I jumped, like hoop. I
wish I could get it through my thing. You have
incredible springs down there, buddy, got bunnies.
Speaker 15 (39:06):
I think I think that's probably it. Like I just
like everybody else, there's a there's it's basketball for me,
and I'm sure it is for you guys too, Like
it's it's a thing that's lasted for decades for me.
So I just have, you know a lot of memory,
Like you know, what I've had a lot of fun
with is just like as an old guy playing in
like money tournaments more than there's cash on the line.
Speaker 5 (39:23):
Yeah, I just had.
Speaker 15 (39:24):
I just had one a few weeks ago where I
put in three hundred bucks as an entry feed. Me
and a buddy of mine split the entry fee, and
we brought a team in and like it was double
elimination and we lost in the first championship game. We
had to like come back and win two in a row,
and like the ac was broken in the gym. It
was like eighty five degrees and like those moments when
you like win the cash and like and you're with
a bunch of dudes who used to play in college. Like,
(39:45):
I've actually had a lot of enjoyment in the game
post college, which is something that I didn't expect. The
big part of that is I'm just a lot better
now than I used to be when I was in college.
Speaker 3 (39:52):
Well this this is true. Some white men can jump.
Speaker 5 (39:56):
Yeah, it turns out, and I find it troubling perfectly,
all right.
Speaker 3 (40:01):
Any time you get up there, Jack, You're like, why
am I going so high?
Speaker 5 (40:05):
I'm too high? This can't handle the landing. Miles, Oh Miles,
Oh dear.
Speaker 4 (40:15):
Yes, it is the fourth quarter. It is time for
the rapid fire round of questioning. Dragonfly Jones, you are

Okay, don't give us long winded answers, because we'd like
to keep the temple up like this.

Speaker 5 (41:28):
Yeah? You here we go?
Speaker 3 (41:29):
Couldn't Dragonfly Jones?
Speaker 4 (41:31):
What is your all time favorite throwback shoe and jersey?
They don't necessarily have to go together, but please call
out the most powerful basketball garments in the universe.
Speaker 16 (41:39):
This this might be a sleeper pick. It is the
ninety five Jason Kids. If you're flights, Yeah yeah. They
came out in black and white and blue and white,
and the black and white ones, like I got a
pair of those as we speak.
Speaker 5 (41:52):
So those bubble on the side, yep, yeah, yeah, yeah,
a couple.
Speaker 2 (41:55):
Of I think very few.
Speaker 4 (41:58):
I would just like to remind you on the cover
art for this very podcast, I was with Jack got
mad Boostie's my caricature is rocking those exact sneakers because
that is my favorite basketball and we.
Speaker 2 (42:09):
Just think I'm best friends.
Speaker 5 (42:11):
Yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (42:12):
And you know what's funny every time they every time
Nike releases them, they're like sitting and I'm always like,
what's wrong.
Speaker 2 (42:17):
With these kids?
Speaker 5 (42:18):
This is iconic.
Speaker 2 (42:20):
This don't appreciate history, man, that's all that.
Speaker 3 (42:22):
Yeah yep.
Speaker 4 (42:23):
And they're like, well, look at those washed sneakers. They
always say I have washed sneakers, but I'm like, yeah,
they are clean, thanks, kids, just wash okay and Jersey
Jersey Jersey.
Speaker 2 (42:35):
You know. It is you know, keeping with the Jerry
West theme.
Speaker 16 (42:37):
It is the the icy blue Lakers, you know, like
the Jerry West era. I had the Icy Blue Kobe
eight back in like, oh yeah, yeah, so that's my
favorite throwback.
Speaker 3 (42:50):
B Yeah, it's a beautiful jersey.
Speaker 7 (42:52):
It is.
Speaker 4 (42:53):
I love blue, and obviously the Lakers were purple and gold.
So whenever I had a chance to rock that, I will.
And Dragonfly Jones, that was a fantastic answer. But that
to entirely to the next question. I'm sitting over here
checking my non existent watch.
Speaker 5 (43:07):
Well Jack's beard that grew looking like hello, who's there? Uh,
Dragonfly Jones. We are playing pick up with presidents of
these United States. I actually just took the first pick,
and I took Obama. All presidents are in their peak
(43:27):
physical condition. Who are you taking next? Jerald Ford?
Speaker 16 (43:33):
He is perhaps the most accomplished athlete to ever service president.
He was an offensive lineman at Michigan. I know we're
talking basketball, but there's a certain brand of basketball that
football players play where they do all the dirty work.
They set screens, they rebound, they get put backs. You know,
the type of guy that you wanted your things. So
I'll probably go Jeryl Ford. If Obama's off the board.
Speaker 5 (43:54):
God shoul, they're taking Gerald Ford.
Speaker 2 (43:58):
You guys like.
Speaker 16 (43:59):
Obama, man, you got to get is going to be
the guy sting screens for you.
Speaker 5 (44:04):
I am a dirty work kind of player, and I
need somebody who's got a sweet jumper. And that's what
I'm That's why I took Obama first, and I'm going
to get in the middle and tussle with Ford. Spend
the fact that he's gonna.
Speaker 4 (44:17):
Jam all day, like get Eric, like yeah, Zurich and
you're like, thank you, mister, thank.
Speaker 16 (44:24):
You, sir.
Speaker 5 (44:26):
Also, I feel like I'd be interested to see what
Lincoln could do, even though he was president before basketball
was in.
Speaker 12 (44:33):
Each height.
Speaker 5 (44:34):
And also the like he was famous when he was
a young person for being one of the best wrestlers
at that time, Like wrestling was just two people enter
a ring and whoever could knock the other person off
their feet would win. So I just like he just
had natural He naturally had that dog in him. Uh
(44:54):
so Lincoln would have been interesting.
Speaker 4 (44:57):
Lincoln did in fact have that dog in him. Yeah, okay,
next question, Dragonfly. One of these gotta go Little Penny
grandmama or Mars black Man grandmama.
Speaker 16 (45:12):
And the only reason that Grandmama has to go is
because I got to say that the Larry Johnson converces
are the weakest out of that bunch.
Speaker 2 (45:21):
And I thought it was a great gimmick. I thought
Grandmama was a great gimmick. I remember when.
Speaker 16 (45:25):
When you know, he even had the special appearance on
Family Matters, Right, yeah.
Speaker 2 (45:29):
Yeah, great gimmick.
Speaker 16 (45:30):
But but but little Penny, Little Penny was hilarious.
Speaker 2 (45:34):
I love those commercials.
Speaker 16 (45:36):
That's Tyra Banks food like that all the top his day,
Mars Blackman with I mean, it's just so wild to
look back and realize there was an ad campaign with
Michael Jordan and Spike Lee at a point in time, right,
like that's just his but yeah, so so yeah, I
mean LGLJ gets to cut here, unfair.
Speaker 5 (45:56):
Okay, I actually just figured out that that is Larry Johnson.
When you when you just said that, I was like,
you are elderly advertising lj's shoes.
Speaker 4 (46:07):
You're like grandma Ma, who was selling cons with the
react juice. That was Larry Johnson.
Speaker 16 (46:13):
No, and Larry Johnson converse reacts where a awkwa eights
if you really really yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 5 (46:22):
But you don't want to start that conversation, do you.
The NBA always avoiding the hot topics, that's right, Yeah,
all right, give us biggest sleeper team heading into the season.
Speaker 2 (46:36):
Biggest sleeper team heading into the season.
Speaker 5 (46:39):
Hmmm, did you explain that? I know that's okay. Look
you did right.
Speaker 3 (46:47):
He might be going through something I didn't want to.
Speaker 5 (46:50):
I just want to make sure that we covered off
on everything.
Speaker 3 (46:52):
No, we did, No, we did, we did.
Speaker 4 (46:54):
And I'm just going being very rude to him on
text so the listeners don't have to be subjective.
Speaker 2 (46:58):
I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go with the Hornets.
Speaker 5 (47:01):
Wow, Okay, that's it. There are very few answers you
could have given that would have rendered me speechless, but
that so that is one where Vegas is up on them.
They think they're going to get more wins. And I
was trying to figure it out. So now you can
explain it to me. Why are we up on the Hornets.
Speaker 16 (47:22):
I think their coach is going to turn things around there.
Charles Lee got who who was on the uh. He
was assistant on the on the Bucks championship squad, he
was an assistant on the Celtics championship squad. I think
he's got that pedigree there where he's going to turn
things around because I think they got the town. I
think LaMelo is incredible, But I just I feel like
(47:43):
LaMelo's suffering from that whole you know, empty stats, you
know label and and I think a guy like Charlesley
can come in there and turn things around and maximize
that team.
Speaker 2 (47:52):
So I'm going with the Hornets man, Okay.
Speaker 3 (47:53):
I like that.
Speaker 5 (47:54):
I do like that.
Speaker 3 (47:55):
That's a wind in myself.
Speaker 5 (47:57):
LaMelo is has that reputation as an empty stats person,
but like gets everybody involved, does make his teammates better,
is fun to play with, So like, that's that's not
a lot.
Speaker 2 (48:09):
That's I don't care how emptier stats are you fun
to look at.
Speaker 5 (48:11):
If he's playing really well, like I could totally see
that just like being infectious, and like suddenly we're all like,
look at the Hornets. Everybody right, Nobody was predicting this
except Dragon part Jones, who is amazing. Well, thank you
so much for joining us, But well I think you
nailed it right.
Speaker 3 (48:32):
Answers as we look at all Yeah, he did them.
Speaker 5 (48:36):
All all right.
Speaker 1 (48:38):
That will do for Mad Boostie's Best of Rapid Fire
twenty twenty four and we will see you in the
new year.
Speaker 10 (48:45):
Thanks
