Speaker 3 (00:40):
Second day of the NBA Draft, Lijah Martin from Florida
just drafted right now. The boy is iceed out. Uh
for sure, I told you look at that man. He
got a number fifteen, massive medallion chain. I mean, I
think is crazy. He was second round.
Speaker 5 (00:55):
But say you know they were getting paid in Florida
for sure, Yeah, with out of doubt.
Speaker 4 (00:59):
So congrat I mentioned it earlier.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
I want to make sure we say congrass all these

Coming up as well, carried about six thirty on the West,

Tower of Trivia. A lot of people that's why they
tune in on Thursdays for that, So we'll do that
in a little bit as well. Looking forward to it
to be always a good time. I want to you're
the perfect person to be here because you played many
years in the NFL and you inexperience. Maybe you experience
(01:55):
a little bit of what I want to get you here,
and that is when you have fans. If you recall,
Marte was heckled by a fan. They said something about
his mother who was late his late mother, and he
kind of had a break down emotional moment. To me,
(02:16):
it looked more so like I'm frustrated, I can't do
anything about it. I'm insulted, I'm hurt angered. All that
kind of rolled up in one and the tears looked
a little bit more like you know what I mean,
Like I want to do something, but I can't.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
How dare you?
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Yeah, MLB comes down, they say that this twenty year
old fan would be banned in definitely.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
From MLB ballparks. Wow, so they did come down hard.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
But Rob g knows how much my disdain goes and
how deep it is for fans who act like idiots
in ballpark stadium and arenas. I don't think you understand
how bad my disdain is for this. Let me articulate it.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
Do it you, let me hear you. It's it's the
only place in life were full fledged grown adults are
allowed to be kids. Yep.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
You could also argue maybe American politics it's the only
place where you are allowed to be violent, and people go, well,
you paid the cost to be violent, or based on
the person who is the victim, their income level, we
go oh man, up Carros in NFL.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
He's making millions.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
He'd be all right that you threw a battery at him,
that you dump popcorn on them, don't throw that you
threw beer at him, that you flicked them off, you
called them at the N word, you said, his mom,
his late mothers of this.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Yeh, it's the only pa.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
We work here Fox Sports Radio, we work at iHeartMedia.
Nobody can come in here right now and throw a
battery at me, a snowball at me and it just goes.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
You know, just got to take it.
Speaker 6 (03:53):
Man.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
You know you make millions, not that I make millions,
but you get the point. Yeah, And it's the most.
That's the nine thought that we put the onus on
the athlete, the human, the person in that position, the victim,
and we go, oh, just man up, you'll be all right.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
So what you get paid, whereas.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Any other any other profession, the assailant is held and
judge based off of those actions that adult.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
So I don't get it, I never will. I don't
sit at me.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
And Rob just argued a couple of weeks ago about this,
because I'm firm believer, and if I'm sitting here trying
to be cool. I'm in my profession, I'm passionate. Right,
we want you guys to play hard. You care about
this day, your blessed we and tears are in it.
And it's outsider who paid fifty nine to ninety nine
for a ticket gets to throw a beer at me,
and I'm supposed to go, Okay, this tasts like a
(04:42):
Budweiser and just be all right with Its crazy to me,
and that you can insult my late mother is crazy
to me. Me help me understand why people are actually
okay with this and why people expect the athletes to
be gandhi in this case.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
Yeah, you know, like the number one thing with this
is people use it as an outlet, right, Like obviously
they're in their nine their nine to five jobs or
whatever they're doing outside of you know, that arena. They're
going to see this is their moment to step outside
of that reality and step into this reality that it's
(05:21):
fair game for me to do whatever I want to
do to the athlete, right. I understand that part of
it doesn't make it right, absolutely not. So I think
that kind of comes with the territory. But I think
the ultimate thing that gives them the courage to do
these things.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
Is the alcohol.
Speaker 5 (05:40):
Oh, I think being belligerent at these games and not
really being in sound mind and body is the reason
this happens, right. But then obviously the other thing that
goes that's attached to that is they see those gladiators
or those people in the sport as and so if
(06:01):
I can get under the skin of that person or
I can do X y Z to that person, there's
an elevation to their mystique as well as as a
human And so when you look at those things like that,
it's very easy for me to see it as what
it is. But when you're talking somebody about their dead mother,
(06:22):
like there has to be a line. Obviously he can't
do anything to you, and you know that, so you
feel compelled or safe to do it. Hope that yeah,
right right right. We've seen it happen the mallets in
the palace. We've seen you can't mess with everybody. And
so I think when you get to see these things
and these scenarios happen like there is there there are
(06:42):
consequences to this, And I think if you get some
of these players at the wrong time or the right time, yep,
you will find out and for me. So I'm I'm
a proponent of just be human in every aspect of
your life. If you're going to see a game, go
enjoy it. Be loud, be rowdy, Watch what you're saying.
These are human beings that are going through with most
(07:02):
of them just like you are. Don't do that. I
showed up on Sunday. I showed up on a Tuesday
in the NBA. I showed up on the NBA MLB.
You don't know what it took me to get here.
Child could be sick, my mother could be going through it,
money issues, going through a divorce. Like, there's a million
things that could be going on, and you coming in
just because you.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
Get I hate my ninety five and I'm drunk, say whatever.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
And you know what also drives me crazy is that
oftentimes when you look at stuff that happens, and then
we do the documentary Mouths of the Palace, what do
you find out, Oh.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
Man, I was having alcoholism. I was an alcoholic.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
You know, it's like all these people get to go
and be sawt and normally the folks who are doing it,
the folks who are fighting at games where you're sitting
there with your five year old boy or girl.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Usually you know, I was going through some issues in
my life, so it's like this is their moment. Uh huh,
Well they get the spass out of that crazy, but
I have to be the recipient of their pain and
hurt and lack of therapy.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
Yeah, you do.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
And it it just drives me crazy because most people
go and have a good time and they might you suck.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
Okay, I'm cool with that, Yo, light them up.
Speaker 5 (08:09):
Do this?
Speaker 4 (08:09):
You know, boo, you did it?
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Okay, I'm cool with all that, right, But once you
start calling people racial slurs and talking about their late
mother and doing this, it's like more of a you
know what they say. They say, give somebody a bunch
of money, find out who they really are. To me,
I say, give somebody a little bit of alcohol, take
them to a sporting event, find out who they really are,
because there's a lot of people are gonna go.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
Have a good time. Whoop, man, we had a great game.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
When you want to go next, there's a lot of
people gonna get you, show you their real character.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
And it just blows me away.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
And so man, you know, I just saw that and
again to see him in tears frustrated. You had his
coaches and everybody kind of had to come out with solo. Man,
that's just weird. It's just strange to me. And I'm
always blown away at how the leagues and I get
it right. The fans paid for all of this and
the idea of that we want these folks to come
and you know, not feel like, hey, I might go
get beat up if I say you suck, but I
(09:02):
just feel like, man, you also got to protect your players.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
Yeah, the NBA has gotten better. I'll give them credit.
They have.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
They've gotten better with these players will be like yo,
yo yo, my man right there he said blah blah
blah blah blah blah he did blah blah blah. He
just I see him. He's fowling at the mouth in
my wife's ear at the game.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
You know. And they've gotten better at that. I'll give
them credit.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
And the reason they had to get better is because
their fans are too close to the action. And that's
the that's the caveat right, ye, MLB, NFL, even tennis,
like they're some distance. So the words they're saying, whatever
it is, it's words and things happen. So that's a
little different. The NBA's you had to.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
You had to. They're right up on you.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
But I just yeah it again, man, I just I'm
blown away by These aren't high schoolers, right, these are
oftentimes forty fifty sixty year old grown men act. I'm
like grown women. I'm blown away getting in the fights
at game. What are you fighting on? Why are we
forty eight knock him up at a game? And my
saying always has been this because you played in this
(10:03):
particular sport, y'all fighting over men and tights who don't.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
Even know you, don't know you at all, and you
were in there. You know, the raiders suck rubs. You know,
Lion's my nose broken and you gotta come home.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
She's screaming because your nose is twisted and your nose
is on your cheekbone and you're bloodied up, and you
gotta explain it.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
Why you fight? Well, he said, our receiver sucks. I know.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
That's not why we at the hospital right now with
this hospital bill exactly because you and you're embarrassed and
you got fired from your job because they saw it.
Because he said this receiver sucked. Well, I mean, you know,
I'm like man, it's just I'll never understand that. Maybe
I'm wrong. No, you're not wrong.
Speaker 5 (10:40):
I just think there is there's levels to it, obviously,
and the things that you know, once it started getting
really personal and stuff like that, obviously, that's part of
the trash talk that happens.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
But come on, man, be respectable, all right.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
If you want to jump in on this and tell
me Kelvin stop overreacting. You want to say, hey, they
pay there, they pay their eighty dollars, they're allowed to
dehumanize people. Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. Maybe
you're with me, Dagget, maybe you're with Carrie. Come on,
come on, you have some fun talks to us, Matt,
be clever, come up with some clever stuff, right, those
are the best when you have fun fans who are clever.
(11:14):
All right, that was a good That was a good roast.
Oh yeah, you got me there. I know some research
research I did make a d and social studies. Yeah
you got that was a good one there, yeah, eight
seven seven ninety nine on Fox. Also to uh back
to the NBA a little bit as well. There's somebody
on their podcast who said, we just saw the greatest
year from a guard ever tell you who said it
(11:36):

Usually in these promos they asked you to listen to
the show. I'm here to ask you please don't listen

He's still moving, huh, I low Rob, g Alex Kerrie. Yes, sir,
we know this is from the Sopranos. I believe there
are seven seasons. I am maybe the last episode or
(12:43):
two or two of the fifth season.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
I've slowed down the momentum over the last several months
because I have twenty six jobs, but also because it
started to get a little redundant. So the question I
have for you all, do I need to finish the
whole entire series or have I Have I gotten the
gist of it? Rob, g Ilo, carry anybody, I'm not
the one that I've seen.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
I need your question.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Basically, I'm almost through all of season five. I think
I have like two more. I think it's like one
to seven or something. I got the gist. You know
my life, you know all my time. Okay, I'm good.
I got the gist. Great show. I don't need to
finish it. Everybody's mad at the ending. I remember that.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
I remember that in real time, people being like, yo, Ilo,
did you? Was that your show? That? Or did you?
Not my thing?
Speaker 7 (13:28):
Not my thing, I'm afraid. But the theme song, good Lord,
I could listen to that all day.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Why No, I saw you over there going crazy? Robb
did you are you a soprano?
Speaker 4 (13:36):
Nah? Y'all are a bunch of weirdos. You guys are
the weirdos.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
Because I find the only reason I say it now
because I finally started watching. Yeah, really, I can put
the judgment on you all now.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
It took me.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
It only took me what twenty some years from me
coming out like I did that with the Wire too.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
Have you know it's I was just talking about that.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
I was just about to say I just started watching
Everybody Hates Chris.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
Have you seen that? Yeah? I didn't watch every episode. Yeah,
but it's hilarious, dude, it's so funny.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
All right, since we're going down there, that's going down
this rabbit hole quickly, quickly before rob G gets mad
and we get back on.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
Say that, look, Roger, I've seen the look. I was
waiting to bring up anything involving Omar Absen Moore's chest.
That's a good point. That's it.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
This is where he earns his black card. He knows
if it was just like trivia, if this was a
you're on what was the show who Wants to Be
a Millionaire? And you get your last lifeline? And they
were like.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
Black Cinema, I'm like, rob rob G will be on it?
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Is it?
Speaker 4 (14:30):
Robberie, don't play with black Cinna?
Speaker 2 (14:32):
All right?
Speaker 3 (14:33):
Dangd oh, you you brought up everybody here, Chris. Yeah,
there's a couple of shows like that. When you go
back and like, why did I miss this? In real time?
Every King of Queens, Now this was years and years
ago for me, but I was like seven eight years
behind it in real time. And then I called on
King of Queens, this is amazing. You know the other show, uh,
My Wife and Kids. Yep, that's a good one too,
(14:53):
ROGI you would like My Wife and Kids. You watched
that one with Yeah?

Speaker 4 (15:00):
Everybody?
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Heys Chris's funny one that I have that I know
it's good. I already know it's good, but I want
to be able to watch it and watch it and
watch it.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
I kind of keep holding off is Abbot elementary? Okay?
Speaker 3 (15:10):
I already know it's hilarious, like every clip I've ever seen.
Anybody whose opinion I respect, I know, and I keep
going home. I want to be able to sit down
and binge watch. But the way my life is set up,
that one, all right? A couple game you clearly here
carry in for Rob kelvin Washington with you. For over
forty years, tire rec has been helping customers find the
right tires for how, what and where they drive ship
fast and free back by free Road hazard protection with
(15:32):
convenient installation options like mobile tire installation, tire rec dot com.
It is the way tire buying should be. Texas Tower
Trivia on the way here in a few minutes. So
I want to you have Paul George of course Podcast
p who had some things to say about this run
by SGA.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
Here's what he had to say.
Speaker 8 (15:51):
B I think you can put them in from a
season standpoint, you got to put them in that conversation.
That's a hell of a year, especially in the league today,
it's tough as aard, especially the analytics. They despise the
way SG plays more now than they did in any
other year because you want threes and layouts. Well, he
gets to the free throw line, which is great, but
he doesn't shoot threes or should put a ton more
(16:14):
emphasis on the players that can operate in the mid
range game because you see it's important.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
All right now.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
When you look through the analytics, he averaged was it
thirty three points? This is the third time he's averaged
thirty a game fifty. Only person who has done that
is Michael Jordan. You're on the list with mj Andaverguard.
That's insane. He had the most thirty point games throughout
a playoff run. Sas for who am I missing rob
(16:42):
Gi most thirty thirty points in a playoff run, I
think the only person aheaded him Kim Olajuwan.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
It was a kem Olajuan.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
So analytically, Carrie, you're gonna go down the line of
numbers of stuff that he was doing. It was absolutely remarkable,
and I can't argue with the numbers being the numbers.
A couple of challenges I have though, let me throw
the red flag on this podcast. P first red flag
I'm throwing on is context of the pace in which
we play now. Yes, Kobe Jordan Allen iverson, some of
(17:14):
the great guards of the you know, nineties through the
early two thousands were playing in an era where scoring
ninety was like, all right, shoot, we had a nice
ninety night. We scored ninety two points. Yeah, pacing was different.
You valued each shot, every possession.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
It was just different.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
Now it's go, go, go, go go. So they're getting
on the average of like twenty to thirty more shots
than what they were back then. They're getting one hundred
and nine possessions shots up. That wasn't the case. So
it's not a knock against him. He's doing exactly what
he's supposed to do in this era. Also, when I
think of these types of things, I'm also gonna think
(17:50):
of moments that happened in the season.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
Here's what I mean.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
When you look at that five four four h five
oh five or six Kobe run, you're getting eighty one points.
You're getting ten games or four of your more. You're
getting sixty points in three quarters. You're getting crazy reverse dunks,
You're getting stuff you remember and identified game winners. And
that matters to me, yes, because you can't just statistic
(18:14):
me all the time. You can't analytic me all the time.
You can analytical me, you can't just number me. I
gotta remember some of this stuff, yep.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
And some of those.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
AI years, I remember crazy ankle breaking plays, I remember
crazy finishes, and I remember the game winners. And I
remember Kobe Bryant being like, ooh, this is the hardest
guard for me, God, for me to guard. We used
to go at it night for night, you know. And
I look at some of the years. It's not even
talking about Jordan, but I look at those years that
Jordan had and Kobe had, Alan Iverson had Duwayne Wade
had a couple of seasons where what they're like, Man,
(18:43):
what these guys are doing is absolutely remarkable.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
And if you want to go more recently, James Harden.
James Harden for.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
Four or five year run was either eight the MVP
or runner up the MVP, and you're not gonna argue
he should have had a couple more where he was
leading the league in points and assist an absolute nuclear
weapon offensively.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
Effiching as well was efficient.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
Was dragging his team and the playoffs was just doing
stuff we'd never seen was insane. It made you go,
is he better than Katie and Restbrook when you talk
about the three MVPs they had on that team, Yeah,
you never do. That was not a debate when he
was there, Oh, he's great coming off the bench.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
And then at first not.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
It wasn't years later the very first year he leaves,
you go shoot now, I wondered, he was like, I
gotta go get my own team.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
Now.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
In the pantheon of where it all happens, you can
place Kdi then maybe him over Russ or how My
point is, it's a fair conversation. So I don't look
at SGA's this year because it's just and it's not
as fault of there's with no memorable moments, there's none
idea of identifiable trade like Allen I was the crossover, right, Kobe,
the mid range fadeaways, and like I said, the forty
point games, ten straight and sixty points and eighty one
(19:56):
point Jordan, move on.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
It's just Jordan pick a season, right, And that's.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Why to me, I get what you're saying, podcast P,
but I flag on the play because you're just statistically
and analytically giving me numbers, and to me, there's always more.
When we talk sports, we don't just watch it for
this the box score.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
Yeah, it's what you're saying. It's the eye test. The
eye test matters, right, Like the iconic moments you just
eloquently spoke about, like they're all true, and I think
that's what sticks with us, right, Like numbers come and go,
numbers go go through one eyeball out the other through
the ear like it's right, I hear it, like cool,
it's yes, that's documented, but I want to see it
(20:40):
and I want to feel that.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
When you watch SGA, it's almost robotic. It's kind of unfair.
Speaker 5 (20:48):
The pace in what you spoke about is huge, but
also the space true, So you talk about pace and space.
Speaker 4 (20:54):
And back back in that time, the lane was more clogged.
Speaker 5 (20:57):
So being able to get to that spot that SGA
gets too consistently wouldn't be there consistently, and so that
means his game would have to evolve and change a
little bit. Right, So that means he's gonna have to
take some shots that he doesn't feel comfortable with. And
so it's just not fair to compare. That's why the
comparison game is always hard to do. Anyone, No, carry
stop it. You work in sports radio, I know, No,
(21:19):
I'm talking about it, and in general, right like, it's
hard to compare that. So when I look at SGA
obviously speaks for itself, MVP Finals, MVP, the numbers are there.
Speaker 4 (21:31):
We did watch a great a great season.
Speaker 5 (21:34):
Is it the same feeling that you get when you
watch ano other great seasons? Nah, it's not that, And
I think that's the problem for me. And it's just
it's just part of It's not his fault. I mean,
they blew everybody out, and it just his game is
boringly efficient in a great way. What I mean is
I know what I can bank on I know the consistency, Rogie, Right, Yeah,
good question.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
I know w'ere up against you guys.
Speaker 9 (21:54):
But it's rare that you get people on the air
like you guys who are ball knowers, like you actually
understand the sport that you're talking a lot of people
who work in sports media not being at the turn
like they follow the sport, but they don't really. They
can tell you what happened when they can't tell you
why it happened. Right, So you guys know basketball, you
know hoops? Is it fair to say about Shay the
way he plays is totally unique to today's game, that
(22:17):
he plays almost like an early two thousands player would
play if they were dropped into this era.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
Oh, without a doubt. He embodies the last four or
five years of Jordan. He embodies the last four or
five years of Kobe. When they realized, this is what
a lot of young people don't realize. And I know,
I'll tell you this out quickly. Yeah, they think because
I have a bag of hah, yeah, I got step
by step by step back three like that that makes
them better. What you realize is Kobe Brant explained this
(22:46):
to LaMarcus Alders. You know, he was talking about him.
After you passed. He said, Cob and a couple other
people came in and said, you doing bruh. You just
need three moves. You need three moves that you know
I can get to, and All said, that's when he realized.
He said, my three players. I wanted the big old.
That's why I shot over your head. Rashid Wallace. Yep,
he said, I had a coming across the middle, sweeping
(23:07):
little jump up like Tim Duncan. And then he said
he had one murment, but I don't remember what was
His point was cold talk, dude, y'all got a a
he said, bro Cole knew when the chips were on
the line, I need a bucket. I know my two
moves I got and we all know Kobe gets you
on the elbow. Gonna wait to see how you defend
that first jabt Sepning gonna up fake. He knew what
it was. Paul Pierce knew what it was, Mellow knew
(23:29):
what it was. KD knows what it is. And a
lot of these kids think the bag has to be
no no da da, And I think SGA has gotten
to that point realized, oh, here's where my sweet spot,
here's where I prefer it. And it's only gonna get
more deadly with that. He's like twenty six, He's only
gonna get more deadly with man two dribbles bucket. Yeah,
and I think exactly Kawi Land or somewhere smiling.
Speaker 4 (23:53):
That's a good one. Yeah, But.
Speaker 5 (23:58):
Like that, efficiens is nothing to kind of I guess
laugh about right or push to the side. We get it.
Like what you said, three moves. I know if I
need a shot, I'm going to this. It's cool, but
it does not It's not appealing to the eye to
see it consistently every day if if you're not a
(24:20):
fan of them, because if you're a fan, you love it.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
That's different, all right, Eye Lowd's gonna get you what's trending.

separation here at the top. Now, you said this one

Tower of Trivia. A lot of people that's why they
tune in on Thursdays for that, So we'll do that
in a little bit as well. Looking forward to it
to be always a good time. I want to you're
the perfect person to be here because you played many
years in the NFL and you inexperience. Maybe you experience
(01:55):
a little bit of what I want to get you here,
and that is when you have fans. If you recall,
Marte was heckled by a fan. They said something about
his mother who was late his late mother, and he
kind of had a break down emotional moment. To me,
(02:16):
it looked more so like I'm frustrated, I can't do
anything about it. I'm insulted, I'm hurt angered. All that
kind of rolled up in one and the tears looked
a little bit more like you know what I mean,
Like I want to do something, but I can't.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
How dare you?
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Yeah, MLB comes down, they say that this twenty year
old fan would be banned in definitely.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
From MLB ballparks. Wow, so they did come down hard.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
But Rob g knows how much my disdain goes and
how deep it is for fans who act like idiots
in ballpark stadium and arenas. I don't think you understand
how bad my disdain is for this. Let me articulate it.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
Do it you, let me hear you. It's it's the
only place in life were full fledged grown adults are
allowed to be kids. Yep.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
You could also argue maybe American politics it's the only
place where you are allowed to be violent, and people go, well,
you paid the cost to be violent, or based on
the person who is the victim, their income level, we
go oh man, up Carros in NFL.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
He's making millions.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
He'd be all right that you threw a battery at him,
that you dump popcorn on them, don't throw that you
threw beer at him, that you flicked them off, you
called them at the N word, you said, his mom,
his late mothers of this.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Yeh, it's the only pa.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
We work here Fox Sports Radio, we work at iHeartMedia.
Nobody can come in here right now and throw a
battery at me, a snowball at me and it just goes.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
You know, just got to take it.
Speaker 6 (03:53):
Man.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
You know you make millions, not that I make millions,
but you get the point. Yeah, And it's the most.
That's the nine thought that we put the onus on
the athlete, the human, the person in that position, the victim,
and we go, oh, just man up, you'll be all right.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
So what you get paid, whereas.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Any other any other profession, the assailant is held and
judge based off of those actions that adult.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
So I don't get it, I never will. I don't
sit at me.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
And Rob just argued a couple of weeks ago about this,
because I'm firm believer, and if I'm sitting here trying
to be cool. I'm in my profession, I'm passionate. Right,
we want you guys to play hard. You care about
this day, your blessed we and tears are in it.
And it's outsider who paid fifty nine to ninety nine
for a ticket gets to throw a beer at me,
and I'm supposed to go, Okay, this tasts like a
(04:42):
Budweiser and just be all right with Its crazy to me,
and that you can insult my late mother is crazy
to me. Me help me understand why people are actually
okay with this and why people expect the athletes to
be gandhi in this case.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
Yeah, you know, like the number one thing with this
is people use it as an outlet, right, Like obviously
they're in their nine their nine to five jobs or
whatever they're doing outside of you know, that arena. They're
going to see this is their moment to step outside
of that reality and step into this reality that it's
(05:21):
fair game for me to do whatever I want to
do to the athlete, right. I understand that part of
it doesn't make it right, absolutely not. So I think
that kind of comes with the territory. But I think
the ultimate thing that gives them the courage to do
these things.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
Is the alcohol.
Speaker 5 (05:40):
Oh, I think being belligerent at these games and not
really being in sound mind and body is the reason
this happens, right. But then obviously the other thing that
goes that's attached to that is they see those gladiators
or those people in the sport as and so if
(06:01):
I can get under the skin of that person or
I can do X y Z to that person, there's
an elevation to their mystique as well as as a
human And so when you look at those things like that,
it's very easy for me to see it as what
it is. But when you're talking somebody about their dead mother,
(06:22):
like there has to be a line. Obviously he can't
do anything to you, and you know that, so you
feel compelled or safe to do it. Hope that yeah,
right right right. We've seen it happen the mallets in
the palace. We've seen you can't mess with everybody. And
so I think when you get to see these things
and these scenarios happen like there is there there are
(06:42):
consequences to this, And I think if you get some
of these players at the wrong time or the right time, yep,
you will find out and for me. So I'm I'm
a proponent of just be human in every aspect of
your life. If you're going to see a game, go
enjoy it. Be loud, be rowdy, Watch what you're saying.
These are human beings that are going through with most
(07:02):
of them just like you are. Don't do that. I
showed up on Sunday. I showed up on a Tuesday
in the NBA. I showed up on the NBA MLB.
You don't know what it took me to get here.
Child could be sick, my mother could be going through it,
money issues, going through a divorce. Like, there's a million
things that could be going on, and you coming in
just because you.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
Get I hate my ninety five and I'm drunk, say whatever.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
And you know what also drives me crazy is that
oftentimes when you look at stuff that happens, and then
we do the documentary Mouths of the Palace, what do
you find out, Oh.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
Man, I was having alcoholism. I was an alcoholic.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
You know, it's like all these people get to go
and be sawt and normally the folks who are doing it,
the folks who are fighting at games where you're sitting
there with your five year old boy or girl.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Usually you know, I was going through some issues in
my life, so it's like this is their moment. Uh huh,
Well they get the spass out of that crazy, but
I have to be the recipient of their pain and
hurt and lack of therapy.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
Yeah, you do.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
And it it just drives me crazy because most people
go and have a good time and they might you suck.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
Okay, I'm cool with that, Yo, light them up.
Speaker 5 (08:09):
Do this?
Speaker 4 (08:09):
You know, boo, you did it?
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Okay, I'm cool with all that, right, But once you
start calling people racial slurs and talking about their late
mother and doing this, it's like more of a you
know what they say. They say, give somebody a bunch
of money, find out who they really are. To me,
I say, give somebody a little bit of alcohol, take
them to a sporting event, find out who they really are,
because there's a lot of people are gonna go.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
Have a good time. Whoop, man, we had a great game.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
When you want to go next, there's a lot of
people gonna get you, show you their real character.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
And it just blows me away.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
And so man, you know, I just saw that and
again to see him in tears frustrated. You had his
coaches and everybody kind of had to come out with solo. Man,
that's just weird. It's just strange to me. And I'm
always blown away at how the leagues and I get
it right. The fans paid for all of this and
the idea of that we want these folks to come
and you know, not feel like, hey, I might go
get beat up if I say you suck, but I
(09:02):
just feel like, man, you also got to protect your players.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
Yeah, the NBA has gotten better. I'll give them credit.
They have.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
They've gotten better with these players will be like yo,
yo yo, my man right there he said blah blah
blah blah blah blah he did blah blah blah. He
just I see him. He's fowling at the mouth in
my wife's ear at the game.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
You know. And they've gotten better at that. I'll give
them credit.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
And the reason they had to get better is because
their fans are too close to the action. And that's
the that's the caveat right, ye, MLB, NFL, even tennis,
like they're some distance. So the words they're saying, whatever
it is, it's words and things happen. So that's a
little different. The NBA's you had to.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
You had to. They're right up on you.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
But I just yeah it again, man, I just I'm
blown away by These aren't high schoolers, right, these are
oftentimes forty fifty sixty year old grown men act. I'm
like grown women. I'm blown away getting in the fights
at game. What are you fighting on? Why are we
forty eight knock him up at a game? And my
saying always has been this because you played in this
(10:03):
particular sport, y'all fighting over men and tights who don't.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
Even know you, don't know you at all, and you
were in there. You know, the raiders suck rubs. You know,
Lion's my nose broken and you gotta come home.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
She's screaming because your nose is twisted and your nose
is on your cheekbone and you're bloodied up, and you
gotta explain it.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
Why you fight? Well, he said, our receiver sucks. I know.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
That's not why we at the hospital right now with
this hospital bill exactly because you and you're embarrassed and
you got fired from your job because they saw it.
Because he said this receiver sucked. Well, I mean, you know,
I'm like man, it's just I'll never understand that. Maybe
I'm wrong. No, you're not wrong.
Speaker 5 (10:40):
I just think there is there's levels to it, obviously,
and the things that you know, once it started getting
really personal and stuff like that, obviously, that's part of
the trash talk that happens.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
But come on, man, be respectable, all right.

we know this is from the Sopranos. I believe there
are seven seasons. I am maybe the last episode or
(12:43):
two or two of the fifth season.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
I've slowed down the momentum over the last several months
because I have twenty six jobs, but also because it
started to get a little redundant. So the question I
have for you all, do I need to finish the
whole entire series or have I Have I gotten the
gist of it? Rob, g Ilo, carry anybody, I'm not
the one that I've seen.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
I need your question.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Basically, I'm almost through all of season five. I think
I have like two more. I think it's like one
to seven or something. I got the gist. You know
my life, you know all my time. Okay, I'm good.
I got the gist. Great show. I don't need to
finish it. Everybody's mad at the ending. I remember that.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
I remember that in real time, people being like, yo, Ilo,
did you? Was that your show? That? Or did you?
Not my thing?
Speaker 7 (13:28):
Not my thing, I'm afraid. But the theme song, good Lord,
I could listen to that all day.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Why No, I saw you over there going crazy? Robb
did you are you a soprano?
Speaker 4 (13:36):
Nah? Y'all are a bunch of weirdos. You guys are
the weirdos.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
Because I find the only reason I say it now
because I finally started watching. Yeah, really, I can put
the judgment on you all now.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
It took me.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
It only took me what twenty some years from me
coming out like I did that with the Wire too.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
Have you know it's I was just talking about that.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
I was just about to say I just started watching
Everybody Hates Chris.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
Have you seen that? Yeah? I didn't watch every episode. Yeah,
but it's hilarious, dude, it's so funny.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
All right, since we're going down there, that's going down
this rabbit hole quickly, quickly before rob G gets mad
and we get back on.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
Say that, look, Roger, I've seen the look. I was
waiting to bring up anything involving Omar Absen Moore's chest.
That's a good point. That's it.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
This is where he earns his black card. He knows
if it was just like trivia, if this was a
you're on what was the show who Wants to Be
a Millionaire? And you get your last lifeline? And they
were like.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
Black Cinema, I'm like, rob rob G will be on it?
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Is it?
Speaker 4 (14:30):
Robberie, don't play with black Cinna?
Speaker 2 (14:32):
All right?
Speaker 3 (14:33):
Dangd oh, you you brought up everybody here, Chris. Yeah,
there's a couple of shows like that. When you go
back and like, why did I miss this? In real time?
Every King of Queens, Now this was years and years
ago for me, but I was like seven eight years
behind it in real time. And then I called on
King of Queens, this is amazing. You know the other show, uh,
My Wife and Kids. Yep, that's a good one too,
(14:53):
ROGI you would like My Wife and Kids. You watched

Speaker 4 (15:00):
Everybody?
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Heys Chris's funny one that I have that I know
it's good. I already know it's good, but I want
to be able to watch it and watch it and
watch it.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
I kind of keep holding off is Abbot elementary? Okay?
Speaker 3 (15:10):
I already know it's hilarious, like every clip I've ever seen.
Anybody whose opinion I respect, I know, and I keep
going home. I want to be able to sit down
and binge watch. But the way my life is set up,
that one, all right? A couple game you clearly here
carry in for Rob kelvin Washington with you. For over
forty years, tire rec has been helping customers find the
right tires for how, what and where they drive ship
fast and free back by free Road hazard protection with
(15:32):
convenient installation options like mobile tire installation, tire rec dot com.
It is the way tire buying should be. Texas Tower
Trivia on the way here in a few minutes. So
I want to you have Paul George of course Podcast
p who had some things to say about this run
by SGA.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
Here's what he had to say.
Speaker 8 (15:51):
B I think you can put them in from a
season standpoint, you got to put them in that conversation.
That's a hell of a year, especially in the league today,
it's tough as aard, especially the analytics. They despise the
way SG plays more now than they did in any
other year because you want threes and layouts. Well, he
gets to the free throw line, which is great, but
he doesn't shoot threes or should put a ton more
(16:14):
emphasis on the players that can operate in the mid
range game because you see it's important.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
All right now.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
When you look through the analytics, he averaged was it
thirty three points? This is the third time he's averaged
thirty a game fifty. Only person who has done that
is Michael Jordan. You're on the list with mj Andaverguard.
That's insane. He had the most thirty point games throughout
a playoff run. Sas for who am I missing rob
(16:42):
Gi most thirty thirty points in a playoff run, I
think the only person aheaded him Kim Olajuwan.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
It was a kem Olajuan.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
So analytically, Carrie, you're gonna go down the line of
numbers of stuff that he was doing. It was absolutely remarkable,
and I can't argue with the numbers being the numbers.
A couple of challenges I have though, let me throw
the red flag on this podcast. P first red flag
I'm throwing on is context of the pace in which
we play now. Yes, Kobe Jordan Allen iverson, some of
(17:14):
the great guards of the you know, nineties through the
early two thousands were playing in an era where scoring
ninety was like, all right, shoot, we had a nice
ninety night. We scored ninety two points. Yeah, pacing was different.
You valued each shot, every possession.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
It was just different.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
Now it's go, go, go, go go. So they're getting
on the average of like twenty to thirty more shots
than what they were back then. They're getting one hundred
and nine possessions shots up. That wasn't the case. So
it's not a knock against him. He's doing exactly what
he's supposed to do in this era. Also, when I
think of these types of things, I'm also gonna think
(17:50):
of moments that happened in the season.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
Here's what I mean.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
When you look at that five four four h five
oh five or six Kobe run, you're getting eighty one points.
You're getting ten games or four of your more. You're
getting sixty points in three quarters. You're getting crazy reverse dunks,
You're getting stuff you remember and identified game winners. And
that matters to me, yes, because you can't just statistic
(18:14):
me all the time. You can't analytic me all the time.
You can analytical me, you can't just number me. I
gotta remember some of this stuff, yep.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
And some of those.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
AI years, I remember crazy ankle breaking plays, I remember
crazy finishes, and I remember the game winners. And I
remember Kobe Bryant being like, ooh, this is the hardest
guard for me, God, for me to guard. We used
to go at it night for night, you know. And
I look at some of the years. It's not even
talking about Jordan, but I look at those years that
Jordan had and Kobe had, Alan Iverson had Duwayne Wade
had a couple of seasons where what they're like, Man,
(18:43):
what these guys are doing is absolutely remarkable.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
And if you want to go more recently, James Harden.
James Harden for.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
Four or five year run was either eight the MVP
or runner up the MVP, and you're not gonna argue
he should have had a couple more where he was
leading the league in points and assist an absolute nuclear
weapon offensively.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
Effiching as well was efficient.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
Was dragging his team and the playoffs was just doing
stuff we'd never seen was insane. It made you go,
is he better than Katie and Restbrook when you talk
about the three MVPs they had on that team, Yeah,
you never do. That was not a debate when he
was there, Oh, he's great coming off the bench.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
And then at first not.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
It wasn't years later the very first year he leaves,
you go shoot now, I wondered, he was like, I
gotta go get my own team.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
Now.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
In the pantheon of where it all happens, you can
place Kdi then maybe him over Russ or how My
point is, it's a fair conversation. So I don't look
at SGA's this year because it's just and it's not
as fault of there's with no memorable moments, there's none
idea of identifiable trade like Allen I was the crossover, right, Kobe,
the mid range fadeaways, and like I said, the forty
point games, ten straight and sixty points and eighty one
(19:56):
point Jordan, move on.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
It's just Jordan pick a season, right, And that's.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Why to me, I get what you're saying, podcast P,
but I flag on the play because you're just statistically
and analytically giving me numbers, and to me, there's always more.
When we talk sports, we don't just watch it for
this the box score.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
Yeah, it's what you're saying. It's the eye test. The
eye test matters, right, Like the iconic moments you just
eloquently spoke about, like they're all true, and I think
that's what sticks with us, right, Like numbers come and go,
numbers go go through one eyeball out the other through
the ear like it's right, I hear it, like cool,
it's yes, that's documented, but I want to see it
(20:40):
and I want to feel that.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
When you watch SGA, it's almost robotic. It's kind of unfair.
Speaker 5 (20:48):
The pace in what you spoke about is huge, but
also the space true, So you talk about pace and space.
Speaker 4 (20:54):
And back back in that time, the lane was more clogged.
Speaker 5 (20:57):
So being able to get to that spot that SGA
gets too consistently wouldn't be there consistently, and so that
means his game would have to evolve and change a
little bit. Right, So that means he's gonna have to
take some shots that he doesn't feel comfortable with. And
so it's just not fair to compare. That's why the
comparison game is always hard to do. Anyone, No, carry
stop it. You work in sports radio, I know, No,
(21:19):
I'm talking about it, and in general, right like, it's
hard to compare that. So when I look at SGA
obviously speaks for itself, MVP Finals, MVP, the numbers are there.
Speaker 4 (21:31):
We did watch a great a great season.
Speaker 5 (21:34):
Is it the same feeling that you get when you
watch ano other great seasons? Nah, it's not that, And
I think that's the problem for me. And it's just
it's just part of It's not his fault. I mean,
they blew everybody out, and it just his game is
boringly efficient in a great way. What I mean is
I know what I can bank on I know the consistency, Rogie, Right, Yeah,
good question.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
I know w'ere up against you guys.
Speaker 9 (21:54):
But it's rare that you get people on the air
like you guys who are ball knowers, like you actually
understand the sport that you're talking a lot of people
who work in sports media not being at the turn
like they follow the sport, but they don't really. They
can tell you what happened when they can't tell you
why it happened. Right, So you guys know basketball, you
know hoops? Is it fair to say about Shay the
way he plays is totally unique to today's game, that
(22:17):
he plays almost like an early two thousands player would
play if they were dropped into this era.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
Oh, without a doubt. He embodies the last four or
five years of Jordan. He embodies the last four or
five years of Kobe. When they realized, this is what
a lot of young people don't realize. And I know,
I'll tell you this out quickly. Yeah, they think because
I have a bag of hah, yeah, I got step
by step by step back three like that that makes
them better. What you realize is Kobe Brant explained this
(22:46):
to LaMarcus Alders. You know, he was talking about him.
After you passed. He said, Cob and a couple other
people came in and said, you doing bruh. You just
need three moves. You need three moves that you know
I can get to, and All said, that's when he realized.
He said, my three players. I wanted the big old.
That's why I shot over your head. Rashid Wallace. Yep,
he said, I had a coming across the middle, sweeping
(23:07):
little jump up like Tim Duncan. And then he said
he had one murment, but I don't remember what was
His point was cold talk, dude, y'all got a a
he said, bro Cole knew when the chips were on
the line, I need a bucket. I know my two
moves I got and we all know Kobe gets you
on the elbow. Gonna wait to see how you defend
that first jabt Sepning gonna up fake. He knew what
it was. Paul Pierce knew what it was, Mellow knew
(23:29):
what it was. KD knows what it is. And a
lot of these kids think the bag has to be
no no da da, And I think SGA has gotten
to that point realized, oh, here's where my sweet spot,
here's where I prefer it. And it's only gonna get
more deadly with that. He's like twenty six, He's only
gonna get more deadly with man two dribbles bucket. Yeah,
and I think exactly Kawi Land or somewhere smiling.
Speaker 4 (23:53):
That's a good one. Yeah, But.
Speaker 5 (23:58):
Like that, efficiens is nothing to kind of I guess
laugh about right or push to the side. We get it.
Like what you said, three moves. I know if I
need a shot, I'm going to this. It's cool, but
it does not It's not appealing to the eye to
see it consistently every day if if you're not a
(24:20):
fan of them, because if you're a fan, you love it.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
That's different, all right, Eye Lowd's gonna get you what's trending.
And then we have Tyser Tower Trivia on the other side.

help Alex get up the tower by giving him one
word clues to guess the correct answer. I flipped a
coin during the update and Dub gets the home field advantage.

cheating on that. Alex Roguez. Here we go, doub number one.

I started this podcast 5 years ago to invite you into conversations and workshops that are designed to help make you happier, healthier and more healed. I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose.
