Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
You were listening to the West and Walker Show.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
We didn't start to show off with it like we
needed to, but we know you need it out there
in the city.

Speaker 3 (00:07):
Okay, it's West Cheese, sandwiches, uncrustables, whatever kind of sandwich
you got it.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
A sandwich with your sour cream and shadow ruffles, you
know what I'm saying. Wow, Yeah, that's that's pretty good.
I got a little descriptive right there. And Walker, on
account of three, we're gonna yell like hell baby one
two three courts.

Speaker 1 (00:29):
We don't drinking baby in the cabbage god. Oh wow.

Speaker 2 (00:33):
Sorry only on Sports Radio ninety two point seven FM WFNZ.

Speaker 3 (00:38):
Sorry, Oh my god, I'm sorry. I drank too much monster.
Let's go to the corner quickly. One more hour to
go on West and Walker. You're listening to the Sports
Radio ninety two seven WFNZ. We are broadcasting from the

(01:00):
Chandler Vaulta Studios. CV Injury Law dot Com. CV Injury
Law dot Com. One call. That's all the Carolina's personal
injury lawyers. And speaking of injuries, we have some updates
from the Carolina Panthers. Joe person does say that Ikyakwanu
and Turk Wharton are not practicing.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
J C.

Speaker 3 (01:17):
Horn does not have a helmet. We'll try to figure
that out as the day unfolds. Joe Person also said
that the Panthers have opened up the twenty one day
practice window for wide receiver David Moore. If you remember them,
David Moore did a few things for the Panthers last year.
Possibly could be that down the field threat that the
Panthers have been lacking for the most part, t Mac.

(01:40):
They attempted it with him a little bit at the
beginning of the year, more so became the intermediate threat.
They've given some go balls to Jalen Coker. That's worked
out last couple of games. Maybe David Moore could help
him out a little bit as that fourth fifth option
along with Excel. I don't know, not nothing, but overall
probably not going to make the biggest difference in the
Panthers player.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
I was gonna say, Aggy must have pulled his chicken
wing Ikey. I caught him Iggy, but Ikey must have
pulled his chicken. Insults still landed. Insult no matter what
you called him, it's still landed. For Iki Kwanu, Iki Kwanu,
Turk Wharton not practicing.

Speaker 3 (02:15):
J C. Horn doesn't have a helmet either. We'll see
exactly what's going on with all those guys, and we
do have some news as it pertains to the Panthers
playoff hopes. Also, Adam Shepter reported a few hours ago
that a major move in Miami is happening. The Dolphins
are going to bench to a Tongo Vai loa officially,
and they're going to turn to Quinn Yours as their
new starting quarterback. It will be yours first start against

(02:37):
the Bengals on Sunday, which is a leaky defense. So
if you're gonna start, make your first start ever in
the NFL, the Bengals defense is a nice one to
make that first start against. Nick car Bony tweeted this out.
Sunday just got even more of a must win for
the Panthers because if the Bucks win at Carolina, of course,
then beat Miami, it's over. The Bucks win two games

(02:58):
in a row. It's Joever, the kids say, not going
to happen.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
Jover.

Speaker 3 (03:02):
Yeah, people say, Joe, it's the thing. I don't know
if you know about heard that one yet. I know
it's crazy. I usually don't bring them to the table
like you do.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
But is that something You need to tell me what
it means they're in the break or no, I think
it just means it's over.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
I don't know where it comes from. They can say, Hey,
that's what I'm trying to think out. Look, you're asking
already too much. I just know that the kids say it.
I know that YouTube channels all the kids, all of them,
they're all saying it. Maybe you can let me know
on the fandel text line why they're saying it. I've
four five seven ninety six.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
Yeah, Brice, that'd be interesting on the night I say, hey,
what do you guys say jover? And I either get
a laugh sometimes it gives me this really sarcastic laugh
yeah about certain things, or he'll tell me what it means.

Speaker 3 (03:42):
All right, AI tells me jover is internet slang used
to express that a situation is completely finished, hopeless, or
done for. It is a humorous blend of the name
Joe and the word over all right, jover.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
I don't know. That's just what Ai is telling me.
Explain that, Jay, but whatever I know to Joe part.
But like I said, that still doesn't make any sense.
But this is the thing though, with the kids, Wes.
I'm surprised I'm the one explaining this to you, because
what sense does six seven?

Speaker 1 (04:09):
Mate? It makes no sense. Six seven.

Speaker 3 (04:12):
We've been saying it since the dawn of time, since
people learned how to count six seven. Jover, Oh, it
doesn't mean anything. It's provocative. I'll learn you.

Speaker 1 (04:21):
Something, man, about what the kids are saying in these days.

Speaker 3 (04:24):
Okay, it'll be interesting to see how all the playoff
picture unfolds to a not gonna play. I think it's
gonna be Quinn, of course, against Tampa Bay. Just any
thoughts on some of the guys not practicing right now
and to a officially being benched in favor of Quinn.
You were so Tampa Bay gonna face a rookie quarterback,
As much as I'm not a fan or not a
rookie quarterback, but a guy making his first start. As
much as I'm not a fan of Tua as a

(04:45):
Panthers fan, I'd rather to a play against that Bengals
defense because I do think it probably gives Miami better
chance to win.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
I thought about that, because I said, man, you know,
I used to be a fan of too I remember
the first time I watched him play, I thought he
was gonna be a Show five, number one overall pig,
like he had all the things that you wanted a quarterback.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
And just how his career has just derailed.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
And I think, you know, you don't necessarily want to
throw the retirement word out there, but with the injuries
and the concussions and things that he's had, man, I mean,
it's wild just how his career has gone. As far
as the Panthers go, Yeah, I mean those are significant
guys that if you have to go into Sunday without him,
that's certainly something you really don't want, especially j C.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
Horn.

Speaker 2 (05:23):
You know, even though he gets beat, but still you
want him to be out there playing in this game
with the receivers that you're going to have to deal with.

Speaker 3 (05:31):
Yeah, we'll see what happens with some of these guys
that are banged up. Turk Wharton had the injury and
didn't play in this last game against the Saint So
there's something substantial there. Iki Kwanu not exactly sure. We
should get some updates on that as practice is over.
Let's go to somebody that had a part in making
six to seven famous with LaMelo was he Is it

(05:52):
okay to say that he was a central figure in six'
seven and all of it's happening at some point in
time or is that too far of.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
A stretch talking About? LaMelo, yeah, yeah yeah, yeah because
of a height and.

Speaker 3 (06:01):
Audit it feels like it feels like anytime anybody referenced,
it He LaMelo was talking about it before the season.

Speaker 1 (06:08):
Started.

Speaker 3 (06:08):
Anyways LaMelo is also in a bunch of conversations on
all sorts OF nba trade deadline. Primers John hollinger wrote About.
LaMelo Zach loow And Bill simmons were talking about. It
do we have that sound ready to go with The LaMelo?
Sound so Here's Bill simmons And Zach low Discussing LaMelo
ball's value as it compares To John morant And Trey Young.

Speaker 1 (06:31):
LaMelo ball year.

Speaker 4 (06:32):
Six we haven't really seen any indication that he's going
to be a serious professional who's in, shape affecting a
team in all of these winning ways for longer than
like two three week stretches at a.

Speaker 1 (06:44):
Time.

Speaker 4 (06:44):
Disagree he's played fifty, one seventy, five thirty, six twenty,
two forty seven and sixteen games this year And Zach, Low,
yes the most rational GUY i know is telling me
it's not time.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
IN i need to see.

Speaker 3 (06:56):
MORE i think he has the most trade value of
The does anybody really want these guys point?

Speaker 1 (07:03):
Guards Trey, Young John moran And Lava?

Speaker 3 (07:05):
Ball and it's not and it's not. CLOSE i was
actually talking to A gm about this very thing. Today
it's another guy On LaMelo. Ball still might be good
island with, Me so you're on the. Island i'm just not,
like look. It i've used the word carnival a lot
to Describe LaMelo, ball like it's a little bit carnival.

(07:26):
Esque and he flirts with getting a little bit more
serious about time and score and, yeah, baby don't do
the one legged three when we're down two with forty
five seconds left in the game and there's twenty on
the shot. Clock maybe don't do. That we'll have to
remind you again in a. WEEK i get. It you
can't teach the, height you can't teach the. Vision and this, year,
Aside i'm ignoring the shooting this. Year it's been an

(07:48):
Awful it's been, awful, awful. AWFUL i trust the sample.
Size i'm just not like It's i'm not as optimistic AS.

Speaker 1 (07:54):
I was six months ago or. WHATEVER i don't think
it's going.

Speaker 3 (07:57):
Great so you hear all of, that especially as it
compares To John Morant Trey. Young Zach close, said, quote
it's not. Close he Thinks LaMelo has more value than
both of those. Guys what are your thoughts on everything
that those two just talked.

Speaker 1 (08:09):
About, yeah, MAN i mean it is just.

Speaker 2 (08:11):
Sad that's no other way to put it than the
career of you, know these young men as far as
how they're being talked. ABOUT i mean you look At John,
MORANT i mean the numbers are just. SILLY i mean
he's shooting nineteen percent from that three shooting five per.
Game Trey, YOUNG i mean nineteen percent from three shooting
five of those a, game thirty seven percent from the.

(08:33):
Field he's averaging a career low on points per. Game
and it is, like, yeah what incentive would you have
other than your own personal? Ego you are saying to,
YOURSELF i can revitalize these young men IF i bring
any of them. Men and like they, Said, lamelow we
talked about the report them coming out saying that he's
alleged to be the most unseious player like. People that's

(08:55):
how people view. Him so it's, like, okay we's the
incentive IF i do. That John, morant same. Thing, trouble
he's still out here nonsense talking to play its walking
off the bench as if he's some you, know boss
figure that he's going to do something in these. Games
and Then Trey, young you, know you just can't explain.
Him and so you, know for these, GUYS i mean
it's a catch twenty two for every single one of.

(09:15):
THEM i think each one of them are at a
fork in the road in their. Careers and you, know
MAYBE i guess you can hope of You're, charlotte that
the market isn't crazy for him and he finally starts
to get, It but at this, point six years, in
you worried that he's just not going to get it
to the point that you want him to be as
your franchise.

Speaker 1 (09:34):
Player.

Speaker 3 (09:35):
Yeah, so as as far as it as far as
Comparing LaMelo To Trey young And John, moran one thing
That i'm really tired of seeing is all like writers
and potters, say, hey let's just play musical chairs with
all the distressed assets at the point guard position and
just move them on by to see if a change
of scenery with the team that just moved on from

(09:57):
a point, guard it might work out for. Him Like
john Holl rights for The athletic my ideal ball, trade
which will never ever happen in real. Life i'm glad
at least you acknowledge that my ideal ball trade is
WHAT i call The southeast, shuffle one Where, LaMelo John,
morant And Trey young all exchange teams and try to
restore their trade value in new.

Speaker 1 (10:17):
Settings all, RIGHT i get, It john.

Speaker 3 (10:18):
Said it's never going to, Happen but it's not the
first time That i've heard something like. This hey, man
why Doesn't memphis just trade For Trey? Young Maybe atlanta
goes For, LaMelo and Maybe charlotte Gets John. Morant John
moran is From South. Carolina it is close to Truck. No,
no why would anybody want that here in The Queen.
CITY i understand That John morant used to be really fun.

(10:40):
Man John moran's numbers are absolutely. Awful second straight year
of the numbers not being, good second straight. Year the
explosivity has gone from. Him Trey young isn't, Playing so
even if you wanted to point To trey and, say
at least these guys. Play that might be true Of john,
now But trey's not. Playing he's. Out and guess what
The hawks are? Better atlanta is a better basketball team

(11:02):
When Trey young doesn't. Play there's one big difference Between
LaMelo and then what you have In John morant And Trey.

Speaker 2 (11:09):
Young is that an what'd you? SAY i, said? Guns
Does trey have like?

Speaker 1 (11:15):
THAT i don't.

Speaker 3 (11:16):
Know you you might know SOMETHING i don't. KNOW i
don't know about the blicky game With Trey. YOUNG i
know it's there With. Jaw but the big difference THAT
i was going to refer to is That.

Speaker 1 (11:25):
LaMelo is not some.

Speaker 3 (11:26):
Malcontent you go down To atlanta And Trey young wants
to play his. Way he doesn't really want to play your.
WAY i need the basketball in my hands one percent
of the. Time my usage needs to be absolutely. Outrageous
i'm going to take a whole bunch of really deep,
threes And i'm the one getting all of the. Assists
none of this pop pop. Basketball, no, Man i'm the

(11:46):
one creating everything around. Me and he can be very
good playing that. Way BUT i think there's a reason
why The hawks have been better without, him and his
defense is the worst in the.

Speaker 1 (11:56):
League.

Speaker 3 (11:57):
LaMelo if you think he's a bad, defender you're right about.
THAT a lot of the Time Trey jung is. Worse
so then you go To, jaw, like what's the benefit
of Having jaw right? Now tell me the. Benefit he's
not a better. Passer as much as we joked about
it last. Year the force multiplication is he enforced. Multiplier
looking pretty good right now That LaMelo is that, guy

(12:17):
Except LaMelo's not on the. Floor the, injuries that's a
big issue With, LaMelo no, Doubt it's been an issue
for the last four. Years but if we have The
Sam vassini sound ready to. Go Sam vassini On Game
theory was going back and forth with the guest that
he had on checking in on some sources here In
charlotte as it pertains To LaMelo and how happy he
is in The Queen.

Speaker 5 (12:36):
City look like we're getting into the weeds here on
things That i've been told That i'm not like super
excited to say on like the, Podcast LIKE I i
have not gotten the impression That lamello does not Like
charlotte put it that, Way Like i've gotten the impression
That LaMelo like, it like very much likes the city
and is like very very happy in the, city you.

Speaker 1 (12:58):
Know WHAT i.

Speaker 5 (12:58):
Mean SO i don't, know maybe that's like a message
that after that report that like people are trying to
get out there and. Everything you never know this time of,
year but like that's kind of the Vibe i've. Gotten
SO i it's a very tricky deal to kind of
try and sort and parse.

Speaker 3 (13:16):
THROUGH i compared it to the guy that traded a
paper clip for a, house, however many years ago on.

Speaker 1 (13:22):
The Lockdown hornets podcast earlier, today.

Speaker 3 (13:25):
If it feels the exact opposite of, that if The
hornets were willing to Trade lamelow for any of those
guards or anything less than equal, value why are we
trying to trade the house for the paper? Clip why
are we trying to move even further down from the
value of a house to get as close to a
paper clip as. Possible John morant got a coach fired
because he didn't like the way that he's being, played
and now it's still not going well with this guy's

(13:47):
first run In. Memphis i'm, Good Trey, Young i'm. Okay
they're in a different tier as far As i'm. Concerned
SO i Think i'm here today before everybody west to
say stop Putting LaMelo in that. Group the similarity is
That LaMelo a once Clear All star healthy basketball. Player

(14:10):
he's been injury prone and that's. True but as far
as putting him in the same bucket As Trey young
who has had issues with The, Hawks John, moran who
has had issues with The. Grizzlies we got one report
From Kelly eco and then you click on the headline
you actually read the. Report it was all from The hornets.
Front it wasn't From LaMelo who came out and refuted.
It they're not the same as far As i'm, yeah

(14:31):
you're right.

Speaker 2 (14:31):
About, that and that's a great point that you brought
up to separate, him because that is something that you,
know he hasn't hurt the team in that.

Speaker 1 (14:37):
Way it's just more so.

Speaker 2 (14:38):
Tangible he's not able to play because he's not a
guy that's you, know being a bad locker room guy
and is causing a bunch of issues in the locker.
Room and there is something to be said before. THAT i,
mean you, KNOW i do still believe in, him but it's, like,
man at some, point you would just love for him
to be able to get the. Message and that's the
THING i said yesterday About Conker, niple and that's WHY i,
SAID i think that he is now the face of

(15:00):
the franchise because he gives the fans what they want
from an emotional, standpoint AND i think that would go
a long way For LaMelo and you, know just making
the fan base kind of warm up to him again
if we could, Understand, yeah you firstated about, losing that
you want to, win that you want all these things
instead of appearing.

Speaker 3 (15:18):
Unseious so the unseious, PART i don't think that is
a totally unfair accusation Towards. LaMelo, YEAH i get. IT
i don't think he's a bad dude by any. Sense
The hornets are not worried about what he might be
doing off of the, basketball.

Speaker 2 (15:31):
But there's a certain amount of seriousness that comes with
the job and the money that you.

Speaker 1 (15:34):
Make no doubt that's.

Speaker 3 (15:36):
Fair what gives me hope that this can still work
because all reference Lockdown Hornets, Again doug deemed the dream
dead a couple weeks. Ago the, ceiling whatever that dream
was With LaMelo at The helm is. DEAD i feel
like the door is still, cracked AND i might be
one of the townspeople not believing the scientists telling me
the volcano is about to erupt AND i need to

(15:56):
get off of the. ISLAND i might be that. Guy
there is safety in. Numbers Zach low is with. Me
we Have Sam vassini who is with. Me there a
is safety in. Numbers but, again maybe that makes the
townspeople analogy a little too, perfect and that the scientist
is still right despite.

Speaker 1 (16:11):
Him the only one being the guy that believes.

Speaker 3 (16:13):
It all that to, SAY i still think the door is,
Cracked LaMelo being quote unquote unserious to some. DEGREE i
do think the guys that you have on the, team
In LaMelo and con it actually may work to their Favor,
wes Because LaMelo doesn't need to be the guy with
the basketball in his hands as much As trey And jah.
DO i think he is willing to adapt to a

(16:35):
offensive system that does benefit. Others if you have a
point guard whose best skill set is passing and, shooting
which the sample size is much better in favor Of
LaMelo being a good shooter than it is against him
being a good. Shooter isn't that what you want your point?
Guard to be the best at sounds pretty good to.
ME a, tall great passer and. Shooter, yeah that's WHAT

(16:57):
i want my point guard to, do and then divvy
out the responsibilities scoring To Kan kinnip And Brandon. MILLER
i don't think he can be the number one option
on championship. TEAM i think he possibly could if everything
is going, right to win a playoff series or. Two
but maybe we can still get the value as much
as possible out of him being a high level facilitator
averaging close to twenty points per game on better. Efficiency

(17:19):
with con And brandon staying on the court and being efficient,
THEMSELVES i think it could still work with. Them BUT
i also am the crazy person that telling you is
so good.

Speaker 2 (17:30):
You do strike me as a guy that would still
be trying to figure things out even if they're telling
us the volcanoes about that.

Speaker 3 (17:35):
RUCK i feel LIKE i am the, Scientist that's What i'm.
SAYING i feel, like, yes.

Speaker 2 (17:39):
You think you would know as much or more than he,
does and you would feel like there's a way that
you could still stay and not be burning the.

Speaker 1 (17:44):
Ass oh you feel LIKE i would be that? Guy?
YEAH i Think, oh, well, OKAY i think that says
a lot about.

Speaker 2 (17:49):
It you know What i'm, Saying but, No i'm saying
because you're such a science and nature, Guy yeah THAT
i think you wouldn't be doing it in an arrogant,
way but you would still feel like that there's a
path to us being able to vibe this.

Speaker 1 (18:00):
Thing hey, MAN i still think there is a. Path.
Now it doesn't mean that you should believe me and
then burn with.

Speaker 3 (18:06):
Me as the lava is rolling down like perhaps if
that's the best to, look.

Speaker 1 (18:11):
It's gonna be.

Speaker 3 (18:11):
FINE i promise my feet's burnt. Off, Walker it's. Fine
your knee is gonna be. Okay at least it's a
live wire coming up. Next sports raded in ninety two
SEVEN wfnz speaking of The David moore. Injury by the,
WAY i didn't realize that it was as gruesome as

(18:32):
it was until we got the explanation From david on
what happened to his. Elbow joe person with this. Tweet
David moore is coming back from left elbow from a
left elbow injury that occurred on The panther's first offensive
play At New england In week. Four he underwent surgery
for what he called a. Blowout he, says, quote you

(18:52):
ever had a tire blowout or you just had to
redo the whole? Thing that's literally what it. Is football
players are, crazy, Man Patrick.

Speaker 2 (19:00):
Mahomes, YEAH i guess so elbow version a blowout elbow
that sounds absolutely. Horrific oh, yeah for some, REASON i don't, Know,
MAN a blow a blown out knee sounds.

Speaker 3 (19:14):
Terrible but Maybe i'm more used to that phrase THAN i.
Am blown out. ELBOW a blown out elbow sounds LIKE
i feel like a dangly, forearm AND i don't like
the vision of.

Speaker 2 (19:23):
That mean you can't do, ANYTHING i mean everything. Hurts,
YEAH i mean what else is there to be? SAID
i guess not.

Speaker 6 (19:31):
What would you?

Speaker 2 (19:32):
Say would you say that that's the equivalent, of Like Tommy, John,
WELL i, know if you blow out your, elbow that's
essentially What Tommy, john even THOUGH i know As Tommy
john is an Exact, Yeah Tommy john, is BECAUSE i
BELIEVE i think it's ucl If i'm not mistakeing it's
an Exact BUT i was just wondering the equivalent OF
i DON'T i don't think.

Speaker 3 (19:51):
SO i think it sounds like What David moore is
telling us is that the whole elbow got messed, up
Where Tommy john is very specific tendon that does get,
Torn SO I i don't think it's the.

Speaker 1 (20:00):
Same But i'm also not a. Doctor.

Speaker 2 (20:02):
Yea AND i was gonna say when you said to
your worst comment the fact that he's able to come
back potentially the same, season Because Tommy john puts those
guys out for.

Speaker 1 (20:09):
A year and a, half that's.

Speaker 7 (20:11):
Right, yeah to be, fair he's not throwing, anything SO
i guess maybe that's the. Reason like if it was a,
quarterback see what he's, saying you'd imagine that he would
be out. Longer but who? Knows where is where's our?
Guy what is his? Name chase the ortho?

Speaker 6 (20:27):
Bro?

Speaker 1 (20:28):
Yeah we SHOULD i get a.

Speaker 2 (20:29):
DOCTOR i have a show to have doctors that come
on once a week to break down.

Speaker 1 (20:32):
Injuries we should get us.

Speaker 3 (20:33):
One Vincent denver, says y'all got me rubbing my elbows? Now, yeah,
man protect, them don't be Like David moore chect those.
Weanesses that's, right classic sixth grade. Joke trying to find
some more updates here on the injury, front but that's
the latest one we have On David moore Believe dave
Can alis is speaking to media as we.

Speaker 1 (20:52):
Speak If i'm not, mistaken.

Speaker 7 (20:53):
Worries if, not he is approaching the sand as we
are doing the live.

Speaker 2 (20:58):
ONE i think he might be. RIGHT i says a
blown out. ELBOW i KNOW i can be wonky, sometimes
but it says it's a general term for severe, injury
typically a complete tear of the u C l and
The Tommy john surgery is the name of the operation
used to fix.

Speaker 1 (21:12):
It so they, said, therefore the.

Speaker 2 (21:13):
Term blown out elbow refers to the injury, itself which
necessity necessitates the major. Injury there you, go, Man we're
going to. Surgery you guys are ready for the m
cats after this.

Speaker 3 (21:24):

Heavy. Wow, alrighty, yeah Live why can't That? Tom now
what you?

Speaker 7 (22:12):
Got all, right let's go With Charles. Barkley, oh he's always.
Entertaining he was talking about THE Nba cup and he
says he believes THE Nba cup is quote.

Speaker 8 (22:23):
Embarrassing, well number, ONE i think the cup thing is somewhat.
Embarrassing WHAT i mean by that, Is i'm disappointed in.

Speaker 1 (22:30):
My players that we're.

Speaker 8 (22:33):
Having Number, One god blessed them for making. Money, Okay
i'm disappointed that we have to make an end season
tournament to make these guys more money so they won't
do load.

Speaker 1 (22:46):
Management.

Speaker 8 (22:47):
Yeah so these, Guys god bless them making a lot of.
MONEY i never begrudged them BECAUSE i MADE i don't,
KNOW i adn't making what they're, making BUT i made
a great. Living but to have to pay these guys
extra money to make them play of, games they should play.
Basketball they're well compensated to play. Basketball to do an

(23:11):
en season tournament to make them extra, money come, on,
man that's that's a little bit.

Speaker 7 (23:17):
Ridiculous speaking of, peeing is that what's going on in
the background?

Speaker 1 (23:21):
There did anybody else?

Speaker 6 (23:22):
Here?

Speaker 1 (23:22):
YEAH i was wondering what was going.

Speaker 3 (23:24):
On it sounded like a drink Porn and look if
it was a water feature that he had somewhere in the,
background then you got something wrong with your. Pump it
sounds a lot like peeing to, me what else you got?
THERE i Was that was on The Tom Tolbert. Show
by the, way what do you think About charles?

Speaker 7 (23:40):
Comments and do you think that THE Nba Cup it's
embarrassing that they have to have this to give guys
motivation to actually play in the regular.

Speaker 1 (23:48):
SEASON i don't really.

Speaker 2 (23:49):
Have an issue with the actual tournament. ITSELF i do
agree With barkley Do it's like how much more money
do you guys? NEED i, mean you make so much,
Money like you, know they, SAID i think the want
to get one hundred and THIRTY k or something like.

Speaker 1 (24:02):
THAT i think they.

Speaker 2 (24:03):
Said And i'm, like how Much like that's vacation to these?
Guys and you hit him say as much they talk About,
Ye i'm gona take.

Speaker 1 (24:08):
THAT i need that.

Speaker 3 (24:09):
Money i'm gonna take it and use it on a.
Vacation D'Angelo russell's comment is always my. Favorite when he
GOT i think five hundred thousand and they ask him
what he's gonna do with, it he, said you, KNOW
i might take a nice little vacation with.

Speaker 1 (24:20):
It that's What i'm. Saying, yeah we are very.

Speaker 2 (24:22):
Different, yeah, Man so you know that's the thing that
frustrates me is, That, yes it does take a financial
incentive for those guys to go out and playing that.
Tournament AND i think once they get out, there the
competitive juice is kick. In they want to win and
stuff like. That BUT i don't have a problem with
the tournament. Itself, NO i don't.

Speaker 3 (24:38):
Either LIKE i hate these comments From Charles barkley because
it's not like THE Nba cup is for the players to.
Care they weren't all in a room saying how do
we get the players to? CARE i, know let's provide
an nd season. Tournament, no they did it for the.
Fans they did it because it's an eighty two game,
season and the players aren't going to sign off on
a shortened season because it means less. Money so what's

(24:59):
gonna happen is you're going to have the games that
are a little. Deluded they don't matter as much in
an eighty two game, season just like in baseball over
one hundred and sixty, games not every game matters as.
Much so how do you have these contests carry a
lot of? WEIGHT Nba Cup championship, cool you have a,
game you have a championship that does not count towards
the regular. Season now we get to the point where

(25:21):
the players who are playing a game that does not
count towards the regular, season how do you get them
enticed enough to give it their? All that's where the
money comes. In but it's for the. Fans how do
we make it as interesting as? Possible do you think
that they're coloring the courts that color because the players
will play harder if they see a dark shade of. Red,
no you know, why because it's not for the players
to do. It it's for the. Fans and that's what

(25:43):
frustrates me about. It So Charles barkley just perpetuates. This
as much AS i love, them one of the most
entertaining people of all, time he perpetuates the. Stuff and
he's very old. Head back WHEN i was your, age
we used to play for the love of the. Game
you wanted your money to, okay and there's a lot
more money at, stake and so, yeah the players want
to get.

Speaker 1 (25:59):
Paid the basketball game was fantastic last.

Speaker 3 (26:02):
Night if you didn't, watch don't say, anything, please because
you don't know what you're talking. About if you just
want to say THE Nba Emirates cup is because these
lazy players don't give. It they're all stop. It you didn't,
watch so shut up about. It don't say. Anything you
don't want to watch, it that's. Fine but what you
don't get to do is say that the players are
lazy and don't. Care they've cared this entire. Time in,

(26:22):
fact there is some history to these players actually getting
to The cup and then parlaying that into a deep postseason.
Run The Indiana pacers come to, mind LIKE i JUST
i don't know why we are so hell bent on
hating on. It that's WHAT i don't. Understand it seems
like we're providing a real effort here so that we
can hate on it when all it's supposed to be
is fun for the fans and the players get paid

(26:43):
a little.

Speaker 2 (26:44):
Extra it's not that big a idea stil a give
walkome me call bring him up to THE. Nba he
needs a job with, them which is tell me, What
tell me what the problem.

Speaker 3 (26:53):
Is tell me what the issue. Is anybody got an
issue as to why THE Nba? Cup oh, yeah THE
Nba cup is. STUPID i never had an issue with. It,
Man like you, said it just doesn't make any. Sense
what else you?

Speaker 7 (27:03):
GOT i, mean, look DON'T i don't like the fact
that YOU, i you had to hang a banner at the.
End but since you don't have to hang the, banner
since it's not a requirement by the, LEAGUE i like.
It If i'm The, knicks if you want to hang
something up at the end of the, year if you
want to or the beginning of next, year then go.

(27:24):
Ahead you could raise THAT Nba cup title and say
this was what we accomplished last. YEAR i didn't like
how The lakers did, it where the very next home
game they, said we got to get this banner. Up to,
me there's bigger, Goals like that's my thing as A knicks.
Fan there should be bigger goals than winning in THE
nba The Emirates.

Speaker 3 (27:42):
Cup and my question to that, is do you really
think they put it on the same level as AN
nba Postseason so, now of course, not so then what
are we arguing about nobody really does? It do you
really Think Jalen brunson cares as much about The Emirates
cup as much as he would winning a? Playoffs? DUH
i would, hope of course. Not so are we just

(28:04):
yelling because we want to? Yell sports radio is good for.
That i'm down to yell if we want to. YELL
i think the one.

Speaker 2 (28:08):
THING i will, say, THOUGH i think the players will
enjoy the. Fact Like, brunson he'll appreciate the fact of
the reception he's gonna get around town for them winning, that,
because LIKE i, said it's been a town or a
city that's been deprived of winning a lot of major.
Stuff AND i, think what the way that the fans.
Reacted AND i, Think Dyalen, brunson you, know they're gonna
feel a sense of pride Because Old New.

Speaker 1 (28:27):
York because he's gonna.

Speaker 2 (28:27):
Get a lot of pats on the back the, Day
he's gonna get a lot of people telling them how
much they enjoy, that.

Speaker 1 (28:32):
Etc.

Speaker 3 (28:32):
Yeah seven oh, four who writes in the team is
made to hang the. Banner i'm not gonna go off
on you BECAUSE i actually did think THAT eahtv was
always going to raise the. Banner But shams did report
earlier today that The knicks are choosing not to hang
the banner In Madison Square. Garden if you, DO i
don't have nearly as big of an issue with. It
if they decide to do, IT i understand not wanting
to hang every single nd Season cup, Banner LIKE i get.

(28:55):
That that's not the thing THAT i. Have the issue.
With my issue is that we try to frame THE
Nba cup as this excuse to get the players to play,
harder when that's not why it. Exists that's my big
issue where it seems like you're putting a lot of
effort into hate on something just to.

Speaker 2 (29:12):
Hate yeah and all, y'all you, know on a text
on a saying. It you, know it doesn't matter how
much you don't like. It let The hornets win. It
let the horn has. Winy i'll be jumping up and
down in the house to.

Speaker 7 (29:22):
Fool it means different STUFF i think for different, Teams
like if the one has won it depending on what
year it. Is, now if you get further down the
line and The hornets are where The knicks are at
and they end up winning, it you should think as
A hornets, Fan, okay this is a nice, moment but
we want to win the. Finals if you win, it
let's say in a year like this, Year, okay you

(29:43):
should be hanging the banner losing your. Mind this is
an unbelievable run THAT i. Think that's where contextually it
can mean different things for different.

Speaker 3 (29:53):
Teams, yeah that's. True The hornets haven't won anything, ever, right,
Right if they win AN Nba, Cup i'm.

Speaker 2 (30:00):
Celebrating but you Look lebron and The lakers like they
cared when they won.

Speaker 1 (30:05):
It and again it's the.

Speaker 3 (30:06):
Classic lebron probably doesn't need the five hundred thousand as
much As austin reeves at the time who needed, it
or some g leaguer called up for, depth or the
fifteenth player on the roster that might bounce around in THE.
Nba that's where it also matters as, well just the
it feels like there is this effort to hate on
it when you can use your effort towards more productive

(30:28):
things in.

Speaker 7 (30:28):
Life all, right let's move on to a guy that's
putting in a great effort so far in his time
As duke's head. Coach last, Night John shire became the
fastest coach in acc history to reach one hundred. Wins
here's what he had to say after the game about that.

Speaker 1 (30:43):
Accomplishment it's really not about.

Speaker 6 (30:45):
Me not about you know.

Speaker 1 (30:47):
THAT i think it's about who.

Speaker 6 (30:48):
You have with.

Speaker 1 (30:48):
You the second.

Speaker 9 (30:49):
Thing you gotta, fight scraping claw for every, win you,
know and IT'S i knew this could, happen and one hundred.

Speaker 1 (30:58):
In, school you, know Play Tom isel.

Speaker 6 (31:00):
Last week and.

Speaker 9 (31:01):
Coaches so that he's got seven hundred something, wins.

Speaker 6 (31:04):
It's a lot of, wins you.

Speaker 9 (31:06):
KNOW a guys saying on basebine he's got twelve hundred
something wins like that's. Crazy and so again for, Me
i'm just really proud of WHO i have with me
or staff or, players and really.

Speaker 1 (31:18):
Grateful all.

Speaker 7 (31:19):
Right so when it comes To John, SHIRE i was
thinking about this earlier WHEN i saw this audio. Clip
is he a guy that might be a little too
underdiscussed by us here locally for how great of a
coach he's been so far in his first few years Of.

Speaker 2 (31:34):
DUKE i think it's a blessing and a curse the
player that he. Gets but it's the fact that he's
capable of recruiting and bringing in those types of. Players
we know what The duke brand, means but you, know
when you talk about, it you look at the teams
he's had and you're, like, okay.

Speaker 1 (31:48):
Yeah AND i think it's also a championship.

Speaker 2 (31:50):
Syndrome people look at the fact that he hasn't won
a title and they don't care about anything, else especially
with that team that they had last, year where a
lot of people felt that they should have won, it
but they did, it and so people are going to
automatically kind of dismiss everything else that he's. Doing but,
no he's doing an excellent, job especially when you consider
we're all about.

Speaker 1 (32:09):
The storylines in the sport he followed.

Speaker 2 (32:11):
Coach K NOT a lot of coaches do a great
job when they follow the, Man, okay and so when
you come in and you're picking up the mantle where
he left off and you look like you're going to
be one of the next great coaches in college, BASKETBALL
i think it's a lot to be said for that.
Too the moment is not too big for. Him he
stepped in immediately and been ready for. That chair couldn't agree.

Speaker 3 (32:33):
MORE i think we talked about THE Ncaa tournament With
Joe klatt's comment either yesterday or two days, ago THE ncaa,
tournament or as entertaining a product as it, is it
is not the perfect way to determine who the champion
is because a single elimination tournament does not it's not
conducive to the best way to evaluate who the true champion.

(32:53):
Is but it's exciting and it's good, enough and why
would you fix something that isn't. Broken with that being,
said it all so makes it hard to win a
championship single elimination ternam you gotta win six. Games it's
a lot of games you gotta. Win and so even
with the team AS i THINK i, thought last year's
team was perfectly, constructed, everything everybody was so damn good

(33:16):
at what they did in that. Role, however they played
it and they didn't get it. Done and that's got
to be frustrating For duke fans to see that team
not get the. Championship they lost to a Great houston.
Team houston was crazy Good. WES i know those are your,
boys and they're real. Fun they didn't win. It it
takes some time to win a championship in that, sport
even the great. Ones it took some time And John

(33:38):
shire is in his what is this his fourth year
now coaching college?

Speaker 1 (33:41):
Basketball is that? Right if it's just? FUN i think that's?

Speaker 2 (33:43):
Right and also for him If i'm not mi, second
no prior hit coaching. Experience, no he was an.

Speaker 3 (33:47):
Assistant, yeah so he was an assistant on the staff
before he took. Over totally agree with everything you, said
especially with filling the shoes of a. COACH k it's really.
Tough he's done a phenomenal job and here they are
again looking to be potential number one.

Speaker 1 (34:00):
Seed all, right who.

Speaker 7 (34:02):
Would you guys rather hear from fIF pogi Or Dabo?

Speaker 1 (34:06):
Sweety which one interest of the most out of?

Speaker 3 (34:08):
These, Well i'm gonna tell you that's a tough. One,
well The Biff pogy SOUND i like. That we're gonna
go like to the, hey can you? Leave can you
leave us a loan for a? Second what do you
want to do with? Us like Strategizing Biff pogy's probably
gonna be a heavy, SoundBite where as enticing As Biff pogy,
is we're probably gonna have to. TALK i THINK i
know the sound bite and it's heavy. Content h we

(34:30):
can do. It But DABO i kind of want to
see if he's reminding us of his bold. Series Is
dabo reminding us of his championship? History yet he is.

Speaker 7 (34:39):
Not he is, Not but he is reminding you that
he is not going to be like other. Coaches he, Says, dad,
Gummut i'm not gonna go into the portal and cut
deals before it opens like other.

Speaker 10 (34:52):
Schools, no, You i'm the portal opens on the. SECOND i,
MEAN i know everybody's working all these.

Speaker 6 (34:57):
Deals we don't do.

Speaker 10 (34:58):
That so, yeah, yeah they you, know there'll be some
some of the best players out. There they'll go in
the portal and ten minutes, Later i'm committed, somewhere you.
Know That's that's that and how we operate. Here we're
gonna do it. Right we're gonna do it, right and
we're not gonna we're not gonna cut deals with people

(35:19):
and all that.

Speaker 1 (35:20):
STUFF i don't care what other people, do all.

Speaker 7 (35:23):
Right, so if you are A clemson, fan should you
be satisfied with this strategy From dabbo or should you be,
saying hey, man we're missing out on some of the
best players in the pedal.

Speaker 2 (35:33):
Here, yeah you could decide to look at it that.
Way maybe it's not THE sec. Way maybe it's not
the way of some of the bigger programs in the, country,
Man but once, AGAIN i, mean you got to commend
them for wanting to do things the right. Way and you,
Know i'm a very cynical, person and most, people you,
KNOW i believe there's something something dirty you've done or
did or will do or something along those. Lines but WITH,

(35:55):
DABA i would really be shocked at if something crazy
like what we've seen with some of these other programs come,
out because it's just the way they do. Things i'm
always marveling at the fact of how he finds the
quality of player that he. Finds he finds the quote
UNQUOTE sec, player but with damn near you, Know Ivy
league or high quality character in academics that come along with.

(36:19):
It AND i just kind Of i'm, like where does
he find these? Guys because they're such good players they
go to THE. Nfl, now some of them have gone
astray since they've left the building In Clemson. Side we
know a couple of them have gone, astray but for
the most, part they bring in high quality. Kids so
this does not surprise me whatsoever That dabbo is going
to operate and stand on business like.

Speaker 3 (36:40):
This people applaud winning the right way until the winning
part goes. Away, yep the winning. Part it's gone away
at the standard That clemson has come to. Appreciate what's
hilarious about this Is Dabos sweeney's thoughts on the transfer
portal reminds me a lot Of Mitch cupcheck.

Speaker 1 (36:57):
Syndrome Mitch cupcheck used to play by the rules too.

Speaker 3 (37:01):
Famously so notice you never got any shams slash woj
updates as soon as the tampering period was.

Speaker 1 (37:08):
Open oh, yeah you.

Speaker 3 (37:10):
Got these set deals right away because they didn't negotiate
until the tampering period. Opened, no it was one second
worth of negotiation if you believe that everybody was playing
exactly to the, rules Where dabo suffering From Mitch kupcheck.
Syndrome the difference between the two is That dabo does
have history on his, side he has one at the

(37:30):
job that he currently, has Where Mitch kupcheck might have
had history on his side with The. Lakers but it's
a very different environment here In charlotte where you could
play by the, rules but we weren't winning and we
weren't getting free agents like. That not as soon as
the tampering period. Opened so If dabo wants to do
things the right way and continue to, win.

Speaker 1 (37:46):
Hey, man tip of the.

Speaker 3 (37:47):
Cap BUT i have to imagine we'll see a lot
less text like the one FROM Nascar brad that, says
love It, dabbo never. Change you might want that record to.
Change if it's six and six next, year that'll do
it for The Live. Wire thanks for making us your midday.
Listen we have one more segment to go before we

Speaker 6 (39:17):
Them.

Speaker 1 (39:17):
Man, hell they do it to your, roster so why
not do it? BACK i.

Speaker 3 (39:21):
CAN'T i look at it the story that comes out
where you have the five star wide receiver looking to
come To, clemson But dabo is, like hey, Man i'm
focused on this.

Speaker 1 (39:32):
Team it'll be honorable in that.

Speaker 3 (39:33):
Way but when he says he wants to come To
clemson and then somebody swoops in with more money and earlier,
MONEY i can't.

Speaker 1 (39:39):
Imagine tiger's fans are going to be happy with. It,
yeah they won't, be you know What i'm.

think of the. TIME i believe it Was Josh graham

(43:43):
who was reporting, this by the, way best of bushes
To Josh, graham who's ending his radio. Show But Josh,
GRAHAM i believe tweeting in real Time Josh passner watching
THE acc tournament amidst news being broken. ABOUT i believe
was it improper benefits going? On was it before the transfer.
PORTAL i believe that's what was. Happening so there was
news coming out against The Georgia tech basketball program While

(44:06):
Josh pastner is at The Spectrum center And Josh graham
was tweeting, pictures tweeting videos Of pastner being on his
phone and eventually leaving the stands as all of this
news was coming in Against Georgia. Tech those are the
THINGS i think. OPEN i think Of Josh.

Speaker 2 (44:22):
Passer he does always have great ENERGY whinny games that
room he was on. Way he's one of my favorite
GUYS i talked.

Speaker 7 (44:27):
TO i, mean nobody loves basketball more Than Josh pastor that.
DUDE i, mean watching him these last few years ON,
espn you would see him at the start of the
day at twelve, noon and he would he would be
just as excited at one am in the morning talking
breaking down a game that just.

Speaker 1 (44:45):
Happened the dude is a.

Speaker 7 (44:46):
MONSTER i just don't know if it's necessarily going to

Speaker 3 (45:07):
Right what else is on? Tap, well there's not a whole.
Lot there is some more college basketball. Action if you
cared About, florida they're going to be taking on a
team whose ABBREVIATION i do not, know SO i have
to click on it The Saint Francis redflash at two and.
Nine if you sickos want to watch more college basketball
THE espn games you do. Have memphis taken On vanderbilt.
Tonight vanderbilt very. Good with a couple Things i'll mention

(45:30):
before we get out of. Here there are two now
former Tar heels that are just absolutely balling right, Now.
Wes it Is Kate tyson who leads The Big ten
in scoring after averaging two and a half points per
game last year with the Tar. Heels Kate tyson In
minnesota is shooting forty percent from, three is top three

(45:51):
and free throw attempts per, game which means to me
that he's actually showing some semblance of, physicality averaging over
twenty a. Pop and you See Kate tyson as maybe
The Big ten player of the. Year with the way
that he's performing right, now after two and a half
points per game he gave To North Carolina minnesota not
winning a whole. Lot But Kate tyson is. Performing and
you also Have Tyler, nickel who is also on The heels.

(46:14):
Roster he's balling out For vanderbilt right. NOW i need
to go to you flounder as to how you feel
about some former Now Tar heels just balling.

Speaker 1 (46:22):
Out maybe we'll where it is. Right Maybe Huban davis is.

Speaker 3 (46:25):
Stupid Tyler nickel averaging fifteen a.

Speaker 7 (46:28):
GAME i, mean you, know we're off to a ten
and one, start SO i think we'll be okay without these.
GUYS i, Mean Kate, tyson it was just never gonna.
WORK i don't understand how. That it does not make
any sense how he is this, Good but unfortunately for,
him what sucks is that he's balling out and his
team is six and.

Speaker 1 (46:47):
Five you can't.

Speaker 2 (46:48):
Win, yeah it just sounds to me like he just
wants the key thought that he could be a role.
PLAYER i think they convinced him to be a role,
player to bag convince him to be a role. Player
but in his heart, heart he is a solo act
where he needs to be able to be a high volume.

Speaker 3 (47:04):
Guy, Yeah Tyler, NICKEL i mean it did take him
a little while because he was With North carolina in
twenty two twenty, three so he had to stop WITH
vt and then it's his second year At. Vandy But Kate,
tyson the fact that he averaged double digits in his
first two years At, belmont went To North carolina averaged
two and a. Half now he's averaging over. Twenty one
of these things is not like the. OTHER i, mean
would we.

Speaker 2 (47:23):
Say that he's probably BECAUSE i remember When carolina got.
Him now y'all would lit about ye like he might
have been their biggest get in the portal as far
as yeah high preseason you would have been were.

Speaker 1 (47:37):
Like, yeah let's go.

Speaker 3 (47:38):
That that season he was A i don't want to
say crown, jewel but he was a. Huge, yeah he
was a phot tim portal. Guy he shot like forty seven.
PERCENT i about to, say didn't he lead the nation
in three point?

Speaker 7 (47:50):
Percentage he, was he was Behind Kobe, braya that was
the only guy that he was behind That he was
second in the country in three point.
