Former NBA veteran Olden Polynice is in for Rob, and he and Kelvin tell us if Cooper Flagg's good-at-everything-but-great-at-nothing style will translate to the next level, discuss why the NBA's 2nd Apron has made it imperative for teams to hit on all of their draft picks nowadays (not just the high lottery picks), and explain why the Utah Jazz didn't care that Ace Bailey had no interest in playing in Utah.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
You're listening to the best of the Odd Couple.

Speaker 3 (00:28):
Obviously, they can call it the Cooper Flag Day because
we all know what's gonna happen with that number one pick,
and then the rest it gets a little tricky. We
don't know what's gonna happen there. Things can move, guys
can get traded, and it seems like the Celtics might
mess around and do something the way this is going
right now. But interesting couple of conversations around Cooper Flag.
A lot of people say he is a chewing number
one pick, can't miss. He's gonna be a Hall of Famer,

(00:49):
He's that type of guy. Others say, man few All
Star games, what is he gonna be? Carmelo Anthony on
his podcast seven PM and Brooklyn had something to say
a few weeks back about Cooper Flag.

Speaker 4 (01:01):
I thought was interesting. I want you to hear this
to me.

Speaker 5 (01:04):
He doesn't do anything great. He just do a lot
of very good. You know what I'm saying. He offensive
rebound very good. He in the passing lanes very good.
He's a weak side defender, very good on ball defender.

Speaker 6 (01:19):
He got a lot better. I want to see him
against you.

Speaker 5 (01:21):
I want to see him against Kad, I want to
see him against Luca. I want to see him against
Ann Elwards because you coming in as that guy. If
he gotta develop the right way, he got to get
a skill set. You can't be in the pros and
don't have a skill set. So you have to have
a skill set, like your skill set have to be
something a.

Speaker 6 (01:37):
Wondrin pull up, like something float like.

Speaker 5 (01:40):
You have to have something that your go to right now,
he don't have a go to, which is why when
they put all of those games at the end of
the game in five seconds and a lesson the ball
is in your hands, you offer in those situations because
you don't have a go to, you thinking about a
million things to do instead of just I know I'm
getting to this spot.

Speaker 6 (01:57):
And if you defended more power, which.

Speaker 3 (02:00):
A lot to impact there, old and I want to
start with this one. If you tell me the guy
you named about five things in a row and said
he's very good, I'm okay with that. Considering he's eighteen
years old, he's not twenty five, then I will have concerns.
By now you don't have something that you're really that okay,
I'm concerned. And by your twenty four, you're twenty six.

Speaker 4 (02:19):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (02:19):
That will be concerning a kid who turned eighteen during
the season, who is hungry, who has elite athleticism, who
I said this yesterday, his best skill set, in my opinion,
and is the fact that he is going to work
incredibly hard and play incredibly hard, which sounds well dull.

Speaker 4 (02:35):
Everybody does, it's not the case.

Speaker 3 (02:37):
And a guy who constantly wants to get better, and
anytime he was supposed to show up, well, you're only
playing in Maine.

Speaker 4 (02:42):
You ain't playing nobody in main Okay.

Speaker 3 (02:44):
Well we'll show me where the other tournament is with
the other players, he goes and he dominates. All right,
Well you're only doing that because of this.

Speaker 4 (02:49):
All right.

Speaker 3 (02:49):
Have me played with the pros in the USA team.
Let's watch me play very well against him.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
All right.

Speaker 3 (02:53):
We'll wait till you get to college, got to the
college and played well, was the best player on duke
in most games.

Speaker 4 (02:59):
So to me, each way.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
Along the way, each time, he proved where he was
and why he was that guy. So I look at
him as to me, I'm ecstatic if you're telling me
he's very good at all of these because if you
go to a team and you know this, sometimes I
might just need you to be the best rebounder for
some time because we got a couple scores.

Speaker 4 (03:18):
We don't need you to necessarily get a bucket like that.

Speaker 3 (03:20):
And I look at a guy like a Pascal siakam
always dominating in a multitude of ways. Tonight it's fast
break points. Tonight, just get the ball to me five
seconds on the shock, like I'll get a buck You
don't have to run plays through me. And to me,
Cooper Flagg has that ability where night in night out,
he's gonna outwork, he's gonna outplay, elite athleticism, nice mint range,
and it's only going to get better. I like that

(03:41):
for the first few years because I can plug and
play and I can place you here tonight.

Speaker 4 (03:45):
You can do this tonight, You can do that.

Speaker 3 (03:47):
While you're still growing into your body and still growing
into who you're gonna be in your capability. So for
me an eighteen year old and you're telling me very good,
very good, very very good, very good, I'll take those
things while we continue to get him better and find
out what he is amazing at.

Speaker 4 (04:02):
Yeah, I guess with me.

Speaker 7 (04:05):
With the draft, it's always this, you know, there's so
much potential, that's the key word that they use, and
hopes and dreams. We don't know what's going to happen.
You know, he has a skill set. Yes, I get it,
but we've seen and I said this last year by
women Yama. We've seen this movie before. I've seen players

(04:28):
like him before, so it's nothing to me. He's eighteen,
so yes, there's room to grow. But at the same time,
one key play stood out for me more than anything
that told me a lot about Cooper Flag and it
was the shot he missed in the tournament, that turn around,
and that said a lot to me because he basically

(04:49):
kind of like, you know, it's like, if you're the man,
you're the number one draft pick, you have to make
that shot. In my personal opinion, you have to make
that shot and carry your team. And again through our
college we've seen Shaquille O'Neal didn't win a title. He
had Stanley Roberts with him, and so and make mood no,
I mean Chris Jackson at the time, and so. You

(05:12):
can put up numbers in college and everything else, but
how is your game going to be defined once you
get to the NBA. Another perfect example was Grady Dick.
You know in college, he's killing in college, everybody's like, oh,
he's the next this, he's the next that. I think
we heard about Grade Dick once or twice, and part
of it had to do with his name, and so

(05:33):
to me, it's like, dude, stop. The NBA is a
totally different animal than when you are in high school
and in college because the same people Cooper Flag were
watching the highlights that he's dunking on at six three
now they're seven feet. They Rudy Gober, you know, they

(05:55):
call Anthony Todde, They Giannis, they those guys. So it's
way different thing.

Speaker 4 (06:01):
But somebody gotta be good holding somebody coming.

Speaker 7 (06:05):
Out of college. It's always gonna it's always They came
out and he was good. Larry Bird, Michael Jordan, don't
disrespect the man. Also spect that he took the shot.
You know what I mean, some guys, I don't wanna
get nervous. I like that he took the shot and say, hey,
it saw me. I'm the best player of the team.
Everybody in the building knows it's gonna go to me.
I missed the shot. It's okay. I can live from that.

(06:26):
I can grow from that.

Speaker 3 (06:27):
Kobe Bryant shooting airballs in the NBA in the playoffs
with the Utah Jazz airball air barbro and kept going
and became. Now when people think of clutch, Lebron ain't clutch.
Kobe's clutch. Now he became the embodiment of clutch. So
to me, I don't mind if the young man took
that missed it. I've taken on the chin and let's
keep moving. And I just think, to me, I see

(06:48):
a lot of people come in with hype, especially nowadays
because they come in with miss but mixtapes at thirteen, Oh,
they look at his kid, and I liked it. He
came in and he kept working. He came in and
he kept going. We don't hear any issues, we don't
hear any drama. He's not trying to worry about this,
not worried about that. All he cares about is hoop
and getting better in his team. And to me, I
like that, And you mentioned it. It looks it's a
crap shoot in any sport, right, everybody tells us this

(07:09):
number one quarterback will be the next damn marine or
next and then we don't ever hear from again.

Speaker 4 (07:13):
So it is Ryan Lee, Ryan leif you ain't lying
about that, so to me.

Speaker 3 (07:17):
But at least I look at him as unlike Carmelo
Anthony who said he has to have a thing. I
like the very good at multiple things, because if you
have a thing and the thing ain't working no more,
then now to me, you're not doing anything.

Speaker 4 (07:30):
If Ben Simmons came in.

Speaker 3 (07:32):
Oh he's a great point guard, he's a good pass, well,
he ain't really doing that no more. And you forgot
Ben Simmons within the NBA, Martelle Folts, he forgot how
to shoot a shote. We ain't heard from him since. Yeah,
And that's what I'm saying. So it is a crap shoot,
this whole thing. And one of the things I was
talking about yesterday with my son was this. Can you
imagine if Adam Silva gets up there, he said, with
the number one pick, the Dallas Mavericks select and they

(07:54):
named somebody else like the movie Draft Day Man, the
whole where everybody I don't know, I guess would be
happy or sad.

Speaker 7 (08:01):
So and I say that to say this. We know
he's consensus number one, and I get it. But there's
a lot of pressure that comes with that.

Speaker 4 (08:09):
Fine.

Speaker 7 (08:09):
You mentioned Mark L. Fultz and Ben Simmons. These guys
don't work hard, Okay, So that's what I'm saying. I'm
not knocking Cooper flag. I'm just saying I have to
wait and see.

Speaker 4 (08:19):
I can't. Is that for everybody meeting? It was everybody.

Speaker 7 (08:25):
I've said it for Polow, I've said it for Anthony Edwards,
I've said it for Webin Yama. Because I try to
be as objective as possible. I'm not looking for clickbait.
I'm giving you the real deal. I can't do the
coronation on someone that hasn't even touched the basketball in
the NBA. I just can't do it, and I'm not
willing to do it.

Speaker 3 (08:46):
But if you're a general manager, Polonies and we need you,
you know that's part of the job. I gotta grab somebody, like,
how are you then viewing? Because if I have to
pick somebodast on my team needs And that's to me
why we talked about this a little bit yesterday. Why
I like Cooper Flag because he can fill some other holes.

Speaker 7 (09:02):
If I need somebody like right now to me, j
edge Combe, to me, I think that's a better player.
I think he has a longer shelf life. Also, the
kid no not Bailey fears fear.

Speaker 4 (09:16):
Yeah, I like him. That's why I was just telling
Rob Giebo.

Speaker 7 (09:22):
I'm telling you there's there's guys, and then there's always
gonna be that the diamond in the rough guy that's
hidden somewhere, because we've had a.

Speaker 4 (09:30):
Ton of those over the years. So those are the
guys I'm looking for.

Speaker 7 (09:34):
Yeah, I'm gonna do my due diligence, and I'm not
saying that I'm I wouldn't take Cooper Flag, you know,
but based on the question, it's like, hey, I have
to wait and see, but he's gonna be good, you know,
based on his work ethic. But again I always ask
this question, like you mentioned MARKA. Fulls and Ben Simmons,
is he gonna be a Ben Simmons that gets paid
and all of a sudden, I don't need to work
no more. No, you know he was gonna be that guy. Okay,

(09:57):
Now I don't think he's got an upside.

Speaker 2 (10:00):
Sure to catch live editions of The Odd Couple with
Rob Parker and kelvin Washington weekdays at seven pm Eastern
four pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 8 (10:11):
Hi, this is Jay.

Speaker 9 (10:12):
I'm the producer of the Paula and Tony Fusco Show.
Usually in these promos they asked you to listen to
the show. I'm here to ask you please don't listen
to the show. The hosts are two absolute morons who
have the dumbest takes on sports, imagicable. Don't listen to
the show so it can get camps.

Speaker 4 (10:28):
Get him. Ignore that fool.

Speaker 3 (10:33):
Listen to the Tony Fusco Show on the iHeart Radio
app or wherever you get your podcast.

Speaker 4 (10:37):
He's still moving.

Speaker 3 (10:40):
I want to throw this out. We got the draft
getting ready to happy here anymore. You see there's a
Nico Harrison clapping it up.

Speaker 4 (10:45):
I should text them.

Speaker 3 (10:46):
They're getting ready to they're on the clock. We're gonna
they got the watch party back in downs. But I
think more than ever a couple of reasons why I
think this odin. I think it's imperative now that you
just don't focus on the top five pick, the top
ten pick, or we got the seventh pick, the lottery pick.
I think it's imperative that you actually score. What did

(11:09):
you say, uh? While we're doing to break you say,
man Brooklyn has like five fives. The thunder often have
a lot of pick. Celtics have had a bunch of picks.
I think you have to land that fourteenth pick, that
twenty third pick, that's what the draft begins, that twenty
ninth pick, because more than ever, teams are so deep
and you have to have a bunch of guys.

Speaker 4 (11:29):
Who's your Nimhart, who's your Nie Smith? Right?

Speaker 3 (11:32):
Who's your Jayalen Williams where he was the eleventh pick
but he wasn't a top five times de who's your
great Point, who's your Derek White? Who's your second round
guy that all of a sudden can play.

Speaker 4 (11:41):
Who's your Nicola Jokic?

Speaker 3 (11:46):
Because I think more than ever, especially as we get
started to get into this first and second aprons, I
don't know where chef's in the kitchen or something.

Speaker 4 (11:54):
But as we're getting to these aprons, what is it
the Mother's day gift?

Speaker 3 (11:58):
Yes, we get into these aprons, Like I think it's imperative.
You're not gonna be able to just rely. Okay, I
got this guy, and we're gonna get a number. These
guys are coming in.

Speaker 4 (12:06):
You know this.

Speaker 3 (12:06):
They're coming in in eighteen nineteen. You can't expecting to
change a franchise. It's gonna take them four or five
years and by then you might be out on them,
or by then you might have had to maneuver the
whole roster. So to me, I want to get this
guy who's twenty two. Nobody's talking about, but he had
four or five great years in college, and I'm like, man,
I'm gonna pick him up and he's gonna be that

(12:28):
guy who just comes in gives me eight nine points,
plays great defense, hits big shots. And I think you
have to get these guys, these these guys early and
get it right because you have to have depth, you
have to have score, and you're gonna have to find
a diamond in the rough because you can't just pay everybody.
And that's the reason why the Celtics are blowing this
thing up. You would think, why go for it again?
If Tatum didn't get injured, maybe you can win. They're saying,

(12:49):
we gotta blow this thing up. This is why you
get the general manager talking about we might have to
trade in Nikola Jokics.

Speaker 4 (12:54):
That sounded like blasphemy.

Speaker 3 (12:56):
A year ago is crazy for me a year ago
now he never in the history we heard someone say,
I mean you might have just trade Kobe, you might
have just trade Peak Shack, you might have trade peak Lebron.
Wait what yeah, right, and keep your job because the
next day did in It fired like, well, Nico just
did it? Yeah, well, I think he might go full

(13:17):
a Nako and do something with this. Y'all thought I
was getting Cooper. Y'all thought I just brought this up
just because y'all thought we were planting the flag with flag. No,
but do you feel me on you have to get
these Usually we disregard picks.

Speaker 4 (13:30):
Oh man, you got the eighteen pick whatever, who cares?
Twenty eighth pick? Who cares?

Speaker 3 (13:34):
You gotta get this right because you gotta hope two
of the three in your first round are guys that
can play and contribute a Cason Wallace come in play
big minutes, and it's not about you averaging twenty. It's
that you play a vital role, a pivotal role in
his team. Because you look at the Pacer deep, you
look at the Thunder deep, you look at Minnesota deep.
You look at the Celtics before all the injuries and everything.

(13:54):
What was their thing. A bunch of guys who can
shoot past, dribble deep. And you look at De Troit
deep deep, and that's why Orlando deep. And you look
at the teams that are coming depth, and I think
it's and that's why tonight is not just gonna be
about the first four or five guys.

Speaker 7 (14:09):
But that's why I'm thinking, Like with the Lakers, perfect
example of being here in La I don't believe they deep,
No they're not. They need they need a lot of pieces.
They need younger pieces, but that are athletic and can play.
You know, It's like Lebron's gonna be Lebron. It's unfortunate

(14:29):
in a way. It's the good and the bad, the
blessing and the curse. Lucas gonna be Luca. But the
problem is Luca goes full Luca and Lebron goes full
Lebron under pressure. Yeah, you revert back to who you are,
and so to me, that's the issue. So you gotta
go find these guys. You gotta go find that diamond
and rough that kid that no one's talking about, but

(14:52):
one of your scouts has had his eyes on him
for the last.

Speaker 4 (14:56):
Two three years. Yep.

Speaker 7 (14:58):
And unfortunately we don't see enough of that. We see
it from all these other teams.

Speaker 4 (15:02):
Ok.

Speaker 7 (15:03):
Man, whatever Croma City's doing, man, people need to Sam Presty,
He's got it.

Speaker 4 (15:08):
They need to study that.

Speaker 3 (15:09):
Sam Presty is last decade or so has been crazy
with the finding, the dominance, making the trades, getting.

Speaker 4 (15:14):
This prist s.

Speaker 3 (15:15):
Yeah, you're giving a Paul George watch this. I mean,
they have been masterful. And that's why I think he
finally had his crowning moment finally getting this title because
we've all he's won how many times he can't win
executive year and all that, he finally was able to
get the championship to validate all the moves he was
making and uh and and the successful moves. I mean,
and Shuet dude drafted kd Russ Harden. I mean, you

(15:38):
you just you can spot talent that that person or
that person man that MVP m v P, m v
P s G a MVP under our watch.

Speaker 7 (15:45):
He's got a bunch of m vps under his watch.
Sam Presty is a master. You know, you brought up
a great point with Luke and Lebron.

Speaker 3 (15:54):
They're gonna have to realize y'all need some speed, some athleticism.
It can't just be Luca dripple dude, Minnesota. That's why
they beat uh Denver two years ago. Now that the
season is over, it was athleticism. Bunch of guys they
could just throw at Yoki, like what is going on?
And they had long six foot seven eight just they
all looked to say, six eight with a with a

(16:16):
headband on it.

Speaker 4 (16:17):
And they do the same thing. You didn't even know
who they were. I don't know one of them is that?
Oh that's the other guy. That's that's that Daniel alex
Mikael Alexander.

Speaker 7 (16:23):
But like, okay, see they got like seventeen Williams is
they got nine jailing Williams.

Speaker 4 (16:29):
It's like they put them out there. You're like, okay,
which Williams is this?

Speaker 3 (16:32):
He was going on call Rogerie, one of the announcers, said, instead,
because they they do have the two Jayden Williams, he's
like he would call him, he would say the All
Star winner something basically like this expected the other one.
He'd be like the good will you want? That's it
was like something he says that this the bummy one. Like, yo,
that's you got Flagering. You're gonna have to call him something.
They call him j Dubb something else you can. Then

(16:54):
you make a move like harden Stein yep and Caruso.
Come on, man was was cruiser undrafted?

Speaker 9 (17:02):
Right?

Speaker 3 (17:02):
And so you gotta get these guys man Lou Dort
Lou a big cogging what they do?

Speaker 4 (17:08):
Dor.

Speaker 7 (17:09):
Yes, that's what I'm saying. You know, I oh, I
wish we had had more time with Matt because it's
like those are the things. That's when scouts are earning
their money, Scooper. Flag is easy. The potentials there, you're
gonna pick them. You have the draft pick number one,
you have to pick them there. Most of these guys
they like easy selections. It's the guys like we all

(17:29):
just mentioned that, ooh, that's when you start earning your pay.

Speaker 3 (17:32):
Can you go find that during guy for the Pisses
were like, oh shoot, what is he? Thess A rebounding
Duncan machine? Can you go find those other pieces that
end up being huge for playoff?

Speaker 7 (17:41):
Right?

Speaker 3 (17:41):
I mean that's and that's why the Pacers can have
where Tyre's Halliburn, they can win he at twelve points
because they are a bunch of other guys that can
do a bunch of other things and just keep the
team aflowid And I think that's just the current place
we are, especially with the Aprons happening as well.

Speaker 2 (17:55):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Odd Couple
with Rob Parker and kelvin Washington weekdays at seven pm Eastern,
four pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 3 (18:06):
Just to recap for those of you maybe work just
got in your car, just threw on the pot or
whatever it may be. It just threw on the app,
rob Gie, jump on it and give us where we are
the draft thus far.

Speaker 8 (18:15):
Yeah, the first four picks kind of Chalky there, Cooper
flag number one, Dylan Harper number two to San Antonio
VJ Edge co Number three to Philadelphia Conker Nipple, number
four to the Hornets, and number.

Speaker 4 (18:28):
Five Ace Bailey to the Utah Jazz.

Speaker 8 (18:30):
The reason why that's such a big shocker right now
is because leading up to the draft, it was widely
reported that Ace Bailey actually declined an offer from Danny
Ainge to work out for them heading into the draft.

Speaker 4 (18:42):
In fact, according to at least.

Speaker 8 (18:43):
Two different outlets, the two teams that he absolutely one
hundred percent did not want to go to and he
was willing to tank his stock in the process were
number four to Charlotte and number five to Utah. Didn't
matter because they took him anyway.

Speaker 3 (18:57):
Well, we just had Eddie House. If you didn't get
a chance to hear, go check out the podcast. Eddie
House said at the end of the interview. Would he said,
I said, I thought he ain't want to go there.
He said, Well, he might not have wanted them, but
they wanted him. And that's a big thing. I mean, listen,
you might not want to go there, but Utah has
been Utah in for a minute, meaning they've been taking
and getting rid of players and not trading players when

(19:18):
big trades were offers were made, and Utah's had a
game plan in mind.

Speaker 4 (19:23):
Credit Danny Ainge too, because he knows what he was doing.

Speaker 3 (19:25):
He saw his run, his tenure with the Celtics, So
I think they have a game plan in mind. And
if he's Bailey fits, what did they say when you
know they were sitting here, you and I are sitting
here watching, It's like, oh, well they need they need
a swing player who can shoot, they need a wing
who can score. Well, A's Bailey is that he is
a walking bucket, crazy athleticism can get a shot. And
so for them, we've been holding on the marketing, We've

(19:47):
been holding on to these guys. We've been trying to
have a game plan of what we want to do.
He is a part of this game plan. And again
Danny Aing's track records it fits. So you're gonna have
to get over that. If you're as Bailey, you were there,
you and I were also talking about you're slotted where
we already know what you're gonna make money wise, So
it's not like, oh I can the money's there now,
the team's there and unless they are still fielding calls,

(20:11):
who one of these Bailey if couldn't get up to
get him, and maybe we'll entertain some calls here, that's
gonna be home. And I can't. I don't really have
any recommendations. Ain't Utah for a brother because he ain't staying.
You don't think he's No. They made that pick for
somebody else. Trust me, they made that pick. That's the
only reason Danny h did it because he knows that's
one of the things he will do. You don't want him, fine,

(20:32):
but I know somebody else that does want you. So
now I'm gonna grab you and force him to give
me what I want for you think it'll be a
young player or for like a vetter, like I want
to go finally get this vet.

Speaker 7 (20:42):
I've been looking for probably a vet or maybe just
expiring contracts. But you know, like I said, a lot
of these teams do not want to be on that
second chef Apron. And so I like when you said
that through I'm stealing it. What's a little mother's day? Yeah,
So it's like, so that's where we are right now
in the NBA. Also is that whole financial aspect of
it with the Aprons. But yeah, and also they have

(21:05):
Cody Williams Jelen Williams brother, and people have been talking
about how bad he is. You know, they've already given
up on him, So I don't think you're gonna bring
a guy put similar attributes, you know where you already
have one from nas year's draft that's not even playing,
so that they made that draft for somebody else.

Speaker 3 (21:22):
We had Matt Babcock on and he was kind of
saying he's been hearing more. You always hear rumors and
hear stuff percolating, but he said more so this year
than quite some time. And you do wonder if Ange
is making a move, like you said, all r, I'm
gonna get as Bailey hold on to him.

Speaker 4 (21:35):
The phone's blowing up.

Speaker 3 (21:36):
They call the bat phone, taking some calls and trying
to figure out who wants him. So that we've got
a talented play that arguably could have been a top
two three pick, and we got him where we got him,
and now maybe we can have some get some more
assets because and Danny Age is up to something he
ain't taken for a reason. Normally, if your team is
just bad the last couple of years, Quin Snyder would
have been fired. Yeah, they wouldn't even let him take

(21:57):
phone calls for the for the job with the Knicks,
which means this is our guy. So you know, there
were some conversations had. Look, man, we're about to suck.
We're about to be bad. It's not an indiving on you.
This ain't don't worry about this. You don't need to
go update your LinkedIn page.

Speaker 4 (22:13):
You're gonna be here for a little while. Don't put
your house.

Speaker 3 (22:15):
Don't put y'all, don't even worry about it. Called hello, hey, wife,
This daddy ain't just his boss. Don't even worry about it.
He's good, y'all.

Speaker 4 (22:21):
Good.

Speaker 3 (22:22):
Keep the kids in school. And if you're you know
what I mean, they're keeping him there. These up to
something so but it's baby. Look, let me be honest
to let me ask you this. Let me just keep
it real. We like to keep it real on this show.
What do Briodoo brothers do in Utah? I played, That's
why I turned to you. What do brothers do in Utah?

(22:42):
It ain't no jazz, Johnny Cochrane, Miles David ain't.

Speaker 4 (22:46):
That's the worst name transfer ever.

Speaker 3 (22:50):
There is a New Orleans when they were the jazz
they had this New Orleans is literally synonymous with jazz.

Speaker 4 (22:54):
You know that Utah ain't no jazz.

Speaker 7 (22:58):
Utah Mountaineers And that makes sense. Mine you're tall Mormons.
I'm with tall tall jazz oligamous.

Speaker 3 (23:11):
You won't with that one something, give me something the
you just there's no jazz.

Speaker 7 (23:18):
There's no jazz. I don't even know if they know
what jazz is up there. But it was fun. It's
beautiful though, Oh my goodness, I believe it's beautiful Mountain ask.

Speaker 3 (23:29):
I can't ask you all that. Okay, what is a
brother doing? What is a baying? Where is the turn up?

Speaker 6 (23:36):
I can't say what I want to say.

Speaker 3 (23:38):
Don't say it, okay. We want to keep you here
already every day in my life. Oh and I gotta
keep Rob here every single day. Rob's retirement is in
six years, and every day Alex and Robb g we
tell that man he can't make it. No six years, Alex.
You know Alex has carpor tunnel from having to press
the dumb button all the time.

Speaker 7 (23:56):
Really saving Rob Rob's life. Oh, Man, and job, I
should say, yeah, I'm just gonna leave it alone.

Speaker 3 (24:03):
But you talk about you like man, Listen, it's it's
some places in the NBA you don't want to go
because for basketball reasons, like you know, maybe you don't
want to go to the Hornets they just aren't good.
Or the Wizards. You're like, man, I do not want
to go there. But the city of DC is lit,
and maybe that's probably that's part of the.

Speaker 7 (24:19):
Problem, part of the problem. Zion showed us that in
New Orleans. But famous Charles Barking line, you know they
got food in Portland everywhere, everywhere else, they got food everywhere.

Speaker 4 (24:31):
That if that's his dilemma in his battle in life,
you call, oh, you.

Speaker 7 (24:35):
Gotta know how to control yourself. But yeah, you know,
it's crazy that he did say that though. You know,
for young guys, the last time I swear to you,
the last time I remember hearing that was from football.
It wasn't from basketball. I don't remember a basketball player
saying it. You know, I don't want to Was it
again that did that?

Speaker 4 (24:55):
With the Bucks? Was?

Speaker 3 (24:58):
Yeah, he was like, na, I don't want to go there,
which is a kind of a random Why not the
Chinese player.

Speaker 8 (25:04):
Yeah, the guy who was cooking that that stationary chair?

Speaker 4 (25:06):
Remember, yeah? Yeah? Why why Milwaukee? Why? That was extraordinarily specific.

Speaker 8 (25:13):
I think he wanted to go somewhere that had more
of an Asian population in the city, and they didn't.

Speaker 4 (25:18):
They didn't. Yeah, I could see that. That's but was
he Now I ain't lying about that.

Speaker 3 (25:24):
Yeah, you don't typically see that. You see that the
NFL will have it where I mean early on, remember
Dion Sanders was calling out some some places or member say,
hinting at places that well, you know, my son ain't
gonna be when.

Speaker 7 (25:36):
You see what happened to his son. Sometimes you got
to lead stuff alone. Man, Listen, Sometimes you just gotta
being shows, yes, sir, every now and again, it's all
right to just let things play out.

Speaker 4 (25:49):
Yes, But yeah, Dion was saying, we ain't gonna play there.
He ain't gonna be I know, I know.

Speaker 7 (25:54):
Where that's a good deon. I never did a Dion
to that moment. That's a good don thank you. You
know what it is close my eyes, you can't you
know what it is. People can't tell you to do it.
You know, I'll do these impressions all the time. People
do that I can't cause then your brain.

Speaker 4 (26:08):
That's come out. Oh that's my boy, he ain't going
that's a good you know he ain't gonna be playing baby. Okay, wow,
so we see that.

Speaker 3 (26:16):
There you have Eli Manning, Archie Manning. You know he
Eli is not going to play for San Diego. We've
seen it in football. To your point, it doesn't happen
too much in the NBA, and I do think a
part of it is because NBA players, if you are
that guy, ultimately, you can change your French right, if
you're Kobe for the next twenty years, not singularly, but

(26:36):
you know, you gotta have teammates, but you can change.
You're Steph Curry, you can change the fortunes of the Warriors.
If you're Lebron you can change the fortunes of multiple franchises.
