Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go. Welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our number one, our number one of the Big
Buffo Socco radio show. We stayed up all night recording
this in the podcast format and repackaging it for you
here in our number one on this Tuesday, the eighteenth
day of June.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
We are the champions of the world.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
I'll try not to sing anymore, but the Dallas basketball
team spent a lot of money traveling to Boston and
didn't put much of a fight up at all. The
never led, never let not one second, not one second
to the Mavericks have the lead. Boston wins from wire
to wire, and the MVP goes to Jalen Brown. Are
you okay with Jalen Brown beating out Jason Tatum being
(00:47):
the NBA Finals MVP also thumbs up er thumbs down.
Does this Jason Tatum led Celtics team count as an
all time NBA champion?
Speaker 1 (00:56):
We'll talk about that.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
And is it true that it's good for the NBA,
good for the NBA that the mav Rex lost in
just five games. We'll talk about all of that and
more right now here. It is our number one, and.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
So the curtain comes down. Welcome.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
In the beginning of another night of the Ben Mahlor Show.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
We are in the air everywhere.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
The malordmouthpiece has been activated as we are yapping the
night away coast to coast, border to border and beyond
all the vast and satisfyingly powerful microphones of fsre emmnating
live from the motor.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
We have a high motors.
Speaker 2 (01:55):

(02:17):
So our headline this up playing the hits, mo Man
playing the hits. Well, I don't know if this was
a hit. It's over, it's done. Our lead this hour
coming from pro bouncy Ball. And if you had the
Dallas Mavericks coming back to make NBA history, you are
a loser. But that was the scene shifter as the
NBA Finals moved back to the Commonwealth, Game five and
(02:40):
the same setup there for Luca and the Dallas basketball team.
They are on life support, facing their final supper. The
Mavericks looking to stay alive, stay alive against the Celtics
force of game six. The math on this is always
against the team coming back, but there is a path.
You figure you win game five, then you got a
(03:02):
home game, so then it comes down to a game seven.
But rarely does it even get to that point where
it comes down to a game seven. I don't know if
you saw this or not based on the ratings, who
probably didn't watch it because who is nobody bad product?
So anyway, we watched so you would not have to.
This was more of a coronation ceremony, full of pageantry
and all that, crowning the Celtics the new champions of
(03:24):
the NBA. Jason Tatum thirty one points, eleven assists, eight
rebounds of partrids in the para tree, Boston steamrolls Dallas,
who never led. The Mavericks never led in this game,
as Boston wins it one tozh six to eighty eight,
the final, never in any real jeopardy. So that now
(03:45):
the eighteenth all time, going back to the Bill Russell.
Celtics eighteenth championship, extending their record member the team that's
chasing them counting championships won in Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Those don't count real and also a COVID.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Championship, which doesn't counts already way ahead. For some reason,
the mainstream media, the fakers, and the media didn't want
to acknowledge that. But Boston adding to their all time
record eighteen championships, legitimate championships, not bogus fake championships like
the other team claims. So Jalen Brown twenty one points.
He had eight rebounds and six assists as well, but
he takes home a trophy of his own. He was
(04:22):
named the Finals MVP. Christops Porzingis returned and didn't play
well at all. He was a decoy, although you wouldn't
know that from the breathless media reporting. He missed a
couple of games, just located tendon in his left ankle.
He chipped in all of five points in seven teams.
But he played, he played, he played, He played all right.
(04:45):
So let us discuss the question. Let's get right to
the MVP conversation. The game was not competitive, Dallas gutlass basketball.
They were the frauds we thought they were. But the
conversation about the MVP, So are you okay? Here's the question,
are you okay? With Jalen Brown being named the MVP.
I've got shark fin, snowplow, and all you can eat buffet,
(05:10):
and we will combine all of these things together and
we're gonna make the Bird because the bird is the word.
And the bird not Larry Bird because he's not walking
through that door. No, he's not, because he's living a
quiet life in Indiana. But to answer the question, are
you okay with Jalen Brown winning the MVP, Yes, we
approve that message. We approved that message. Now, we were
(05:31):
worried based on some chatter that the vote would be
swayed the last minute, that people would be prisoners of
the moment when it comes to the NBA Finals, and
there was this grassroots Jason Tatum should win the MVP
of the Finals. We found that to be fraudulent. We're
satisfied that Jalen Brown, who deserved and earned the MVP honors,
(05:54):
was given the MVP because my memory and I watched
every one of these games. I was paid to do it,
but I watched everyone of these games, and my recollection,
going back to the beginning of this series, was the
difference maker that put Boston in the pace car to
win the championship was Jalen Brown. He flexed his muscle
early and often those first three games when Boston took
(06:16):
a choke hold. Now neither Tatum nor Brown showed up
in game four, so that's a wash, and their numbers
were pretty similar in game five, so it works out.
Now that being said, this is not an underdog story.
I don't want to hear it. Talk to the hand,
just talk to It's not an underdog story, it's not.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
This is not a rags to riches story for Jalen Brown.
It's not.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
So let's put the kebash on that as well. Jalen
Brown is earning the money that he got. He's doing
what he's supposed to do. You don't get extra credit
for doing what you're supposed to do. Jalen Brown is
in the midst of a three hundred plus million dollar
Super Duper Max contract. He's a three time All Star
(07:02):
and was on the All NBA team a couple of
years ago. So if you look at the menu, here
no chicken soup for the soul on the menu.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
That is not on the menu.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
This is more of a high end sharkfin soup, very expensed.
I'm told that's the most expensive soup. I've never had
it because I don't want to eat shark but I
don't like seafood. But sharkfin soup they ever had that,
I've never had that, but supposed to be very expensive.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
And they've got the shark fin in there.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
They've got the Chinese black mushrooms in that thing and
imported scallops. Oh man, sounds terrible, all right now? Page
two thumbs up or thumbs down. Thumbs upper, thumbs down.
Does the Jason Tatum led Celtic team of this season
count as an all time great NBA team? They are
(07:52):
the champions of the world, but are they an all
time team? Is that how you are going to remember
this team? So my vote on this is thumbs down.
I'm going thumbs down on this. And but but you
look at the run numbers. Yeah but yeah, but yeah
but yeah but yeah but yeah but yeah, but yeah,
it's like Mike Martz, the old coach of the Rings.
(08:14):
Yeah but yeah, but what about this? Yeah but yeah,
but yeah it all right? So yeah, but let's play
the yabid game. So Boston Caps the postseason. They end
up going sixteen and three. The loss they had in
the finals, they were trailing at one point by forty
eight points in that game. They really wanted to take
that game off and they did. But sixty to three.
That's the overall record in the postseason for the Celtics.
(08:37):
They end up going eighty and twenty one. They played
one hundred and one games and not counting the practice
games before the season. Of course, the regular season these
days in the NBA is a lot of practice games.
But eighty and twenty one. The seven to ninety two
winning percentage, there's a lot of numbers here, just follow along.
The winning percentage for this Celtic team at seven ninety
two is second in that franchise's history, which is the
(08:58):
gold standard for basketball and winning. The Celtics and so
the only team that finished with a better winning percentage
everything added up the Larry Bird, Robert Parrish, Kevin McHale,
Danny Ainge, Dennis Johnson Celtics at eighty five, eighty six.
Going way back, they finished eighty two and eighteen in
(09:18):
their stretcher game. So it's a nice feather in the cap.
It's a nice feather in the cap. It's a standalone situation.
The Celtics have been knocking on the door here. This
group of Celtic players for several years got to the finals,
lost to Golden State. Should have, could have, would have
gotten to the finals last year, and except they didn't.
They gagged against the Miami Heat in that playoff series.
(09:40):
As I recall, so any of those said, here's a deal.
Perception is reality. The perception is this team is not
worthy of being included on that level in the.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Book of Legends. It's just not reality.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Reality is based on perception, which has the Celtics team
this particular playoff run guided by a guardian angel who
is driving the snowplow.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Clearing the road. I said, well, who's doing new snowplow?
It's June. I get it.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
But the metaphor is the same, clearing the road, clearing
the way here, and you get a little snap over here,
a crackle over here, and a pop over here. And today, yes,
how a trumpionship road was paved?
Speaker 1 (10:26):
All right, last word here? So is it true?
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Is it true that it is actually good, it is
actually good for the NBA that the Mavericks lost, that
they went down in flames. And the answer to that
question is yes, I'm nodding my head. Yes, that it
is outstanding. I was so happy that this terrible Dallas
(10:52):
team lost.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
I loved it. And we can all get together and
go to the twenty four.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Hour day, seven day away all you can eat buffet
of shot in Freude and we can celebrate the shot
in Freuda. It always, it always warms my cockles. I
don't even know what that means, but it warms my
heart to see the bad guys lose. And make no mistake,
they're the bad guys, the Dallas Mavericks and this, and
(11:18):
the media tries to soft sell it because that's.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
What the basketball media does.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
They want to They think they're part of the team
and they bunch of weasels. But never forget that this
Maverick team, the final piece that they believe got them
to the finals, was built on tanking. Tanking, no integrity.
They tanked a year ago. I had a shot, long
shot to make the playoffs. They tanked in an effort
(11:42):
to get a higher draft pick. They drafted Derek Lively.
That's who they got. They also have the most unlikable
schmuck I know in Kyrie Irving. Are you a sucker?
Do you think he's changed his ways? I don't are
you a gullible fool? Because I'm not gonna fall for
his act. What more do you need?
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Right? What more do you need?
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Kyrie Irving a loser and the reason they lost. Make
no mistake, If Kyrie Irving had actually shown up and
performed at a high level, this series would have gone
much further. But he didn't, and he couldn't handle the
Boston fans. He crumbled in every single game in Boston,
(12:27):
every single one.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
He sucked.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Anytime you cannot suck, he rode the vomit comment. And
just in general, this Maverick team. You talk about the
definition of a fluke, the epitome of a fluke, that's
the Mavericks. I'm not impressed at all with this Dallas
team against the Clippers. Kawhi Leonard got hurt in that series.
OKC and Minnesota were regular season paper tigers. They're not legit.
(12:49):
The regular season teams that were exposed and Dallas, listen, I.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Don't I would. I don't think they're gonna be back
in the finals anytime soon.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
I don't thank you. I don't see it. I do
not see this is a tinderbox of a situation. They
weren't even that good. This year, they were the number
five seed for a reason. They were the number five
seed for a reason, and they were absolutely pants right
over Lucky the Leprechaun. In the finals, they were panted
(13:19):
by Boston. Now, as for the future, as a distant
relative of Nostre Damas and friend of Nostrednas, you look
into the crystal ball at this time based on the
information we have right now, and it is a house
of cards. Is a house of cards situation. The pillars
of this team in Dallas. And you call me on
(13:41):
this if you want and say I'm not I don't
think I am the pillars the core of this Maverick team.
You've got Kyrie Irving, who's one interview with Joe Rogan
or a social media post away from self destructing.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
That's what he does, That's what he is. That's his essence,
all right.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Then you've got Luca Luka Doncik, who is more likely
to overdose at a Krispy Kream donut shop than he
is to return to the Promised Land anytime soon in
the NBA.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
So that's the Mavericks. Good luck and goodbye.

It's Ben Malor, Late Night drug tester writes in he says,
I don't know what you're talking about. Not needing snowplows
this time of the year here in Montana. We were
under a winter storm advisory yesterday, winter storm warning. Midnight
Walker who dabbles in Poetry writes in as the Celtics
(16:47):
have won the championship and the Kings of pro bouncy
Ball for the last year, and they will be the
reigning champions when the new season begins in about a month.
So are the Celtics the Boston Celtics an all time
team or overrated like shark fin soup? At least they're
better than the boys from Big d because the Mavericks
(17:09):
played like poop.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Poetry from the Midnight Walker, thank you for that.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Got a very spicy email from Fry Daddy in Pennsylvania.
He says, I don't care what anyone says, Ben, This
blankety blank blank is fixed. Boston ran through everyone. So
you tell me that Dallas beat Boston like a drum
in game number four. No, someone said we need another
(17:38):
game because we will lose too much money on a
four game sweep, David says the fry Daddy, Biffy, you
see how corrupt this whole country is. You tell me
it can't be done. It's fixed, Ben, No, I'm not
the guy that tells you it can't be done. I
wear a tinfoil hat from time to time, and do
I think it's conceivable that there might have been a
(17:59):
mess that was sent like, hey, you know, it's uh
everything we can do here, Let's try to get a
game five. We need a game five for advertising. The
way the Celtics did not compete, that was a dead giveaway.
I watched the game on Friday because I'm lose. I
didn't have to watch the game. I was at workake
Friday night and a Saturday, I didn't have to watch
the game. So I'm watching the game on Friday, and
(18:20):
the Celtics, well, I didn't watch the whole thing, but
they had a nine the last lead there was nine
to six, I believe, and then from that point forward
they ended up trailing. Of the rest of the game,
it was like nine to eight day at a leader
or something, but it was like a three point leader
early and then they ended up trailing by his man
is forty eight points. Just a total lack of execution,
(18:42):
total lack of effort in an NBA Finals game. They
treated that like the fourth game in five nights in
the middle of January and you're traveling in bad weather.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
That's what they treated it like.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
And so, yeah, there's something that thinks about that is
something about that, But proving it is always the problem,
that's always the big issues. How do you approve that
that's the issue? Jordan right, since says hear me out
Here is how we make the NBA watchable again. Six
teams per conference, make the playoffs the best of nine series,
(19:18):
the regular season becomes relevant again. We dropped the nd
season tournament and we keep roughly the same number of
playoff games. Win, win, good luck on that, good luck
on that. It's not gonna happen. And of course it's
very odd that we have the seven game series, and
(19:38):
that goes back to the World Series. They could have
done nine games, I think they did early on, but
seven games series. I've talked about this on the podcasts.
We have to bring it back this weekend on the
podcast any let's go to the phoneses a man that
won the verbal Octagon, which was a precursor the Octagon,
is almost never wrong. Whoever wins the fan Octagon, their
(19:59):
team wins the championship almost all the time. And now
to take a bow and do a victory lap, waving
at all his haters, we say hello to Blind Scott
from the North end of Boston. Hello, Blind Scott.
Speaker 6 (20:14):
Hey, yeah, man, what a championship. I couldn't be happier. Ben.
You know a lot of these people, you know, I
get some a lot of sports media. These people from
NBC Sports Boston. They just finished up for the night.
They're all out pottying, trying to find a place to
drink right now. You should you should message some of them.
I know, I know you know them, man. I think
the real stars in this like Celtics Championship because like, uh,
(20:35):
there's all the people that put so much hard work
into like broadcasting the stuff to people. There's so many
different outlets, like you know, Cedric Maxwell, and it's not
just the players, but dude, the Celtics pay roll, it's
like a billion dollars. Man, You're being covered up in
Boston tonight by some like crappy intern guy that's going
to stay on the rady all night, which kind of sucks,
you know what I mean. But one thing I like
(20:57):
about the Celtics sewer is there the balls man, and
to sacrifice them at the parade, I'm gonna cut my
balls off and feed them to him because I'm just
so fired up about the Celtics. You know, I love
Jalen Brown and Jason Tatum and Chris Alpher singers and
I like it. Kyrie Irvin, he was out. They're hugging
all the players. If you look before the game, when
they had the national anthem, they had every player that
played for the Celtics out there, even in street clothes.
(21:20):
This year, Grant Williams, he was there. Grant Williams was
one of the stars of the season. He played for
the Celtics and the Mavericks and they went and played
for Charlotte. You know what I mean. He's just the
Celtics that you can see what if you want here
tinfoil followers from the Midwest and these idiots out there
that think it's all a conspiracy. But Boston is the
number one championship down We're a title town. We put
(21:41):
a statue up from mar Voice Marvin Hagler the other day.
It costs two hundred thousand dollars. You can't stop us.
This is the center of all sports universe. We're gonna
be partying all night here in Boston. Eaton can always
drink in running around. I thought it was gonna get
stabbed in the other in the back the other day.
I always just running around outside. It's not there's not
a good feeling ash around here. It's it's safe right now.
The roads are blocking, the police are and right here
(22:03):
that the fans tipped over an ambulance and.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Everything, Well would you tip over an ambulance? What good
is there? It's only there to help people.
Speaker 6 (22:11):
Yeah, they pulled everything off the street, like they wouldn't
even let people in this area. That you couldn't get
a reservation in Boston. Tight, every restaurant was full, like
uh it was. The kids set a school bus on fire,
like after school today like uh I like two million
people are coming to a parade.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
They said they'd set a school bus on fire.
Speaker 6 (22:32):
Yeah, yeah, checks it out. There's the school bus all
burned out. The media members couldn't even get to the
garden to broadcast, like Chris mannis he he got like
stuck in traffic or something?
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Of these people? All right?
Speaker 6 (22:43):
Well, JJ Reddick, he made an a out of himself
in Boston the past the past couple of weeks. And
this guy is a clown that the l I was
gonna say, the raiders, who even gives a crap with
an image? They're going to pay this guy peanuts to
coach for him? You know the real star was me?
Was was doors burk Man? This lady, she really knows
her basketball that way.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Now, I'm glad you enjoyed dorisberks work. Thank you, Scott.
You'll have to call back tomorrow for more rubbing it in.
Thank you, go away. There's a blind sky.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
So that now the thirteenth championship won this century by
the four professional sports franchises in Boston. Thirteen and it's
twenty twenty four and the century began in two thousand,
so it's thirteen and twenty four.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Years for Boston professional sports.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
As they add another championship, and you can warm up
the duck boats.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
You can warm up the duck boats.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
The unleaded fuel of sport. It has happened yet again.
We'll have some audio on this, we'll play it for you.
We will go through the whole thing. We'll get to
that and also the bonus baby, But right now, let's
get you caught up.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
On everything going on. As the champion.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Is crowned in pro bouncy ball, and man that loves
bouncy ball more women's basketball than men's basketball.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
I always upset there's no w NBA games. Are there
no w NBA games.
Speaker 5 (24:06):
Oh well, stay tuned to find out about that.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Then I'll make sure to turn the sound down. Yeah yeah,
my microphone.
Speaker 5 (24:11):
But I am a big fan of the NBA.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
I am a big fan that the season is now over.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Oh you have the draft and the silly season, Eddie.
To that the silly season begins tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Tomorrow for me, so I don't have to.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Yes, I will have plenty of Malla monologues about rich
people getting richer.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Yes, great, can't wait.
Speaker 5 (24:33):
Game five, the NBA Finals, saw the Celtics close it
out against the Mavericks one six to eighty eight. Boston
never trailed in this one. They were by ten after
the first quarter, eleven, they were upscored the Mavericks by
eleven points in the second quarter. Even my math skills,
twenty one point lead at the half for the Celtics,
and that was pretty much it.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
And what was the biggest lead that Mavericks had, Eddie,
They never have They never had a lead, Eddie.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Never.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
That is you know what that's called the Harvard boat Race.
That's what that's called it. That's the clinic because it
appropriate in a boat race, whoever gets in the I
forget what the term is, but whoever gets in the
lead never gives up the lead in a NAA, a
boat race.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Never. Yeah, you know, it's a race to get into
the lead and then that's it. You're done.
Speaker 5 (25:13):
No comebacks ever in boat right, No, that's a Harvard
boat race.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Interesting, No one ever comes back unless their boat maybe
their boat breaks down.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
That's a problem. But outside of that.
Speaker 3 (25:23):

he spoke to coward stealing on social media. Calculated to
Chambeau said he's going to take a few weeks off
before seeing it up in the Scottish Open. A July.
I said he was going to take away the positives
from the US Open, which far outweighed the negatives. I
don't know if I'd agree with that or actually this
is the negatives were pretty big. But he withdrew from
(26:03):
the Travelers Championship the signature PGA Tour event in Connecticut.
So I guess so it's more time offen, Yes, he does.
He'll have twenty of time off, taking some time off.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Okay, all right, you done. Yeah that's some fun fun fact.
What's that, Eddie?
Speaker 5 (26:21):
I said, we'll see about that.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Are you questioning the integrity of the fun fact? Yes?
People love the fun fact that.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Way back in twenty twenty two, Jason Tatum became the
first player in NBA history to have one hundred turnovers
in a single postseason.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
And now here we are two years later.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
He cut his turnovers in half and now he's a champion. See,
you can improve, you can improve your game. You can
cut down on the mistakes. Not fun, though, that's fun.
Not fun, That is fun, Eddie. One hundred turnovers, that's
a record a couple years ago, and now half the
turnovers championship Jason Tatum. I mean, good for him, but
(26:58):
that's a fun fact.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Well, screw you, Eddie. I didn't ask your opinion.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
Okay, you're you're giving, you're giving you It's fun, Eddie.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Eddie.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Fun lareda. Yes, Loarena says, smiling. She says, it's fun.
It's fun. Everyone finkes it fun. They love the fun.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
That's fun, best fun facts has ever had. That's right,
Thank you very much, Larada, good job. All right, let's
go to the phones. Lorena, you are pathetic. Let's say
you see that. I mean, what is that? Lorie?
Speaker 2 (27:30):
You allow him to say that? No, tweet that out,
Coop Eddie hates women, tweet that out. I just going
to the phone. Hate Skeeter in Montana. There's a joke there, Eddie,
but I'm not going there. Skeeter in Montana. Hello, Skeeter.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Hello, Oh there he is man. That's respect.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
And the reason we the reason we have the Golden
Ticket is because of this man right here, Skeeter. Without Skeeter,
we would not have Well we're not the golden ticket.
The mallet might as well be the gold said Danny
g I came.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Up with that.
Speaker 7 (28:02):
Yeah. Well, uh, they found some nodules in my mom.
Uh research and uh talking to the doctor is felt removable,
and they're going to do biopsy on one of them.
But it's a million to one. It's uh, it will
(28:25):
be serious. It's just a two hour procedure. And I
come home, I want I want to put it exploration
point on what blind Scott have to say to our Celtics. Okay,
the damn who knows it?
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Yeah, all right, I mean, when are you having this procedure, Skeeter, when.
Speaker 7 (28:49):
It's oh, they put me to sleep.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
Okay, you all right, you'll be fine. We're pulling for
We're pulling for you skin they should be all right, right,
we're pulling. We got you.
Speaker 7 (28:58):
I'm looking forward to getting it over with. And yeah,
it's nice hearing your voice. You take care, all right,
Well let.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Us know how goes, Skeeter. Make sure you keep us posted,
all right, were sure? All right, buddy, hang in there,
all right, thank you.
Speaker 7 (29:13):
Skeeter, good night.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
All right, there's this, Skeeter.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
I have long had the position that the most important
thing in sport is the hater.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Is the hater.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
We have some audio, we have this Jason Tatum ready
to go here, Jason Tatum, he wins his first NBA championship,
and listen to Jason Tatum explain what's on his mind here.
Let's go to the audio tape here when it comes
to all the noise around him and the Celtics take
a list.
Speaker 8 (29:46):
It's a real feeling. I still hasn't really kicked in yet.
Just try, and I guess enjoyed a moment. I kept saying, Wow,
these last seven years have been a roller coaster up
and down. I had to listen to it about me,
and tonight it was worth it.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
Yeah, and he went out he had even more to say.
But the whole point of this is the critic is
the most important person. I've never heard an athlete after
they win a championship say everyone thought we could do it.
Everyone believed in us, and we're happy to make them
look like smart people. You never get that, right, You
(30:25):
never get that.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
No, what you get is I proved the haters wrong.
I proved you wrong, is what I did.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
That's what you get, and you get Jason Tatum saying
all the s that people said about me is what
you get. But one thing I've learned from my years
doing this job is that it does not matter whether
you win or not. The people that like you before
you won will continue to like you. They'll like you
a little bit more. The people that didn't like you,
(30:55):
that were annoyed by you, will continue to dislike you
and will dislike you you more because now you want
a championship. Know, the one difference is the media Toasuckers.
The brown noses in the media will worship you because
you want a championship, so not that they didn't already
worship you anyway. So that will continue, That will go
(31:15):
on and on and on. Let's go to Mike, who's
in Troy, Alabama. Hello, Mike, welcome. You're on the Big
Overnight Show here the Mall Show.

Speaker 8 (36:08):
Right.
Speaker 1 (36:09):

Eddie? Quickly? Is it? Chris Paul? Chris Paul fine answer, No,
the correct answer. He is a Clipper though.
Speaker 2 (36:56):
James Harden, James Hard hundred and sixty six, he played
Chris Paul, Yeah, yeah, I just played well the deeper
runs in the playoffs with the Rockets. They were consistently
in the NBA. It seemed like they were in the
Western Conference final. Well, Chris Paul with the Lob City
Clippers because they had Doc Rivers as coach, that stiff
(37:20):
JJ Reddick who couldn't make a shot to save his
freaking life in the fourth quarter of those games with
those Lob City Clippers, so they they would get knocked
out in the second round and James Harden and the
Rockets would would move forth. He was also on the
Thunder that got to the NBA Finals, although he was
a backup on that team. So James Harden and somewhere
(37:42):
Carl Malone and John Stockton are like oh Man. Because
Tatum and Tatum and Brown rather had been together for
a long time, they hadn't won anything. And then the
all time Gold State ad for partnerships that did not
result in a championship the Utah Jazz from the eighties
into the nineties into the two thousands. It went on forever,
(38:03):
Karl Malone and John stocked in, but Malone's amazed. Not
a great radio guy, but pretty good at basketball back
in the day.
