Speaker 1 (00:03):
Let's go to the tweets before we get on out
of here. Please show me the first tweet at Heavenly Buckets, right,
Steven A. Smith. Where with Jalen Brunson rank amongst point
guards in the NBA? If he won a title this year,
he rank amongst the best. I mean, he's already a
first team All NBA player. He's resurrected basketball in New

(00:23):
York City. He'd clearly beat the greatest Nick of all time.
If he delivered a championship, he'd be the greatest Nick
of all time, Greater than Patrick Ewing, greater than Carmelo Anthony,
greater than Bernard King. The only reason we don't put
him greater than Walt Clive Fraser or Earl of Pearl
Morose because they won a chip and he did it.

(00:46):
But if he got you to the conference finals, he's
got you to the NBA finals. Got my god, if
he won a championship, I'm a lord. And being in
the NBA right now with what you're seeing from everybody else, Yeah,
Lucas in the NBA, Yes, Kyrie Irvs in the NBA, Yes,
Shay Gil just Alexander, I wouldn't put him above Shae.
I wouldn't put him a bunch above Shae Gil just Alexander, No,

(01:07):
I would not. I don't know if I could put
him against a hell of Luca because he was a
reserve to Luca, even though I think that he's been
just as productive as Luca. But that's debatable. But as
a talent of lucas sixty seven, Luca get himself in shape.
Imagine Steph Curry, Steph Curry, not putting them above Steph Curry. Now,

(01:31):
yet that's the greatest shoot of all time, not a
four time champion, but he'd be up there, make no
mistake about it. Let's get to the second tweet. What
you got at Clark Kent four fifteen, right, Stephen A. Smith?
When is it a good time to elevate Steph from
greatest shooter God has ever created to one of the
greatest players God has ever created? That time is now.

(01:53):
He's a four time champion, as a two time League MVP.
He's the greatest shooter God has ever created. He responds
in the clutch. He's an NBA Finals MVP. Now he's
an Olympic gold medalist. We swore he'd in the semi
finals of this the gold medal game against France and
then last night against Houston, to play the kind of

(02:13):
game that he played only Golden State Warrior or register
a double double. I mean the rebounds, the assist, the
decision making Steph Steve Kerr begging him not to turn
the ball over, and then finally he only commits two turnovers.
I mean, you just you can't say enough about the
job that he has done, the kind of player that

(02:34):
he is, the kind of way he's transcended the game,
the NBA game because everybody wants to be like Steph
because of his shooting prowess, his swag is personality, how
he gravitates and how he gets little kids to gravitate
to him. The baby Face Assassin. That's actually my favorite
nickname from the baby Face Assassin. He's one of the

(02:55):
greatest in the game right now. He's one of the
greatest basketball players God has ever created. Than just the
greatest shooter. He's phenomenal. No doubt that time would be
now to answer your question directly at Krusty k r
U S s I thirty four rights Steven A Smith
who wins in a fight? One hundred sports analysts versus
one gorilla. You can pick the one hundred analysts. You
know what. I've thought about this, and I'm gonna go

(03:15):
with the gorilla because these dudes weigh a ton and
it's not like one hundred men or one hundred analysts
are gonna be able to go up there at the
same time. So you're gonna get hurt the instant you
approach the gorilla. That's number one. Number two. I don't

(03:38):
know one hundred analysts who would approach the gorilla. I
don't know five hundred. I don't know five I ain'tbody.
We'd be running for cover, running like hell. So that's
how That's where I'm at with that. Firmly believe in that. Okay,
so I'm gonna go with the gorilla. I'm just gonna

(04:00):
go with the gorilla. Last tweet show it to me
please At Sport Underscore Midwest right. Stephen A. Smith thoughts
on bush Light Apple. The bush Light Apple is that
at the Mets game? What the hell is this? The
bush Light Apple is a beer at bringing back. I

(04:21):
mean the wrapping looks good, the bottle looks good. I
mean this something to be said about packaging. It looks attractive,
but beer is beer. It's not my thing, you know, Heineken,
bush whatever, just not my thing. Butdwiser, I get it.
I mean, you know, to each his own. Not the
way that I roll personally. You know, never really really

(04:47):
liked the taste of any of them. Not this one
I'm talking about, but any of them. And I never
liked the phrase beer belly. I'm thinking, you're drinking beer,
You're gonna have a belly, and I'm allergic to that.
I don't want a belly. That's just nasty. It's just nasty. Okay,
But I do like the packaging. The packaging is attractive
and to a beer drinker, I'm quite sure that they

(05:09):
would like it. And then if it got a little
apple inside to mix with the beer, it might be
a little twang to the taste and all that that
we don't now. So I mean, if you're a beer drinker,
you probably don't try. Good luck to you, and I'm
good with it, but it might be worth a try.
But that's to the beer drinkers out there, which I
am not one of them. Okay, not my style, but

(05:32):
if it's your style, go for it. Knock yourself out,
just don't drive afterwards. No drinking and driving. Okay. Make
sure you're home, settled in, and you're not a danger
to our society in any way. Okay, make sure that
is the case. As long as you do that, it's
no big deal. You good to go. Enjoy, appreciate the packaging.
