And we just talked to Sweet James. We're gonna talk
to Eric Daily Junior of the UCLA Bruins at the
big game winning shot last night. In the very next segment,
James Worthy join the show. We've got a lot going on,
but right now it's time for the top story of
the eight Top story of it.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Well, it continues to be the story of Los Angeles.
And if it hadn't come on the heels of a
thirty point triple double against the Knicks in the Garden
Legit Eastern Conference title contenders, you could to argue that
last night was Lebron's best game of the season. Considering
the opponent. The Clippers are one of the league's best
(02:21):
defensive teams. They're back to full strength, Kawhi is back
in the lineup. He's logging between twenty five and thirty
minutes a game. It's a team that should have matched
up favorably with the Lakers, considering their lack of a center.
Zubots is a borderline All Star. The Lakers also just
lost their best wing defender and Max Christie trying to
(02:42):
slow down both James, Harden and Norman poll to very
very good to at times prolific scores this season, and
the Lakers routed him, and they routed him with a
roster that's kind of depleted. Led by Lebron, twenty six
points on just thirteen shots, a model of efficiency to
go with eight rebel nine assists. He only needed thirty
one minutes to deliver the knockout. The Root played his
(03:06):
ass off. You know they got hammered by the Clippers
a couple weeks ago. James led the team in scoring
last night, he was a plus nineteen, second only to
the Vandalorian. Why are you calling him that? Who played
only eighteen minutes. Lebron set his teammates up for easy buckets.
Austin Reeves was seven for thirteen, RUI shot fifty percent.
(03:30):
Dalton connect was able to shake out of his slump
for fourteen points on six to nine shooting Lakers clocked
in at fifty six percent from the floor. And I
think people that know the show I have been listening
to the show for a while know that I'm a
dog guy, mostly because David Vessey, when he was our
producer before becoming the intrepid Dodger reporter that he is
(03:51):
now got upset with me once in the air.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
I mean, I like dogs. I'm very allergic to dogs.
I mean, they may they'll ruin my night, you know,
or my day being around them. It's hard to dislike dogs.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Yeah, you have to be a weird person.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
But you're like a real dog owner, you know that
walks the dog around, you know, hides the dog's poop
and somebody else's take care. You know, you really do
it big.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
It's a hot time I day.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
You bury it in the sand for a hobo to
step on.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
If you really want to get to me and emotionally
hurt me, you say things like David dead.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Oh, your dog's dead. How does that feel? How's it
going now that Dick is deadn't like your take head?
Your dog is dead? I do remember that was you know,
toward the end, you know, before he went over to
the door.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
So where am I going with this? Well, after Dick's dead,
you idiot. The next dog we got Skeeter. That was
the name the Foster family gave him from the Southern
California Labrador Retriever Rescue who rescued. Who huh if you're
looking for a dog, hit him up rescue a laugh.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
They're the best.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
But Skeeter had been struggling the last year. So I
had cancer for three years. We were doing treatment. He's
slowing down, and when that happened, we adopted Willow, a
nine month old. Kind of right at the end, we're like,
you know what, Skeeter can show her the ropes?
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Saw, Yeah, I see where you're going with this.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
So Willow shows up and what Skeeter do? He gets
his a game back. Man. He sees me taking Willow
out to play fetch on the beach, and now all
of a sudden, Skeeter wants to chase the ball again
instead of sitting downstairs. Poor guy was a little too
painful him to get up the stairs. Willow's coming upstairs
with me. Guess what, Skeeter's now coming up the stairs.
She wants to jump on the bed at night. He
(05:37):
was not doing that for the previous six months. He's
now jumping on the bed at night. It was a Hey,
you might be new here and you might be peeing
spring water. Okay, but I'm the star, I'm my alpha.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
My sister did that with her Wiener dogs, and what happens, Well,
I mean, I gotta say, Captain Weeney, my sisters, no,
Wiener dogs should be as old as that dog is none.
And I mean this thing it looks like a stick.
It's so skinny now it's just but anyway, yes it is.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
It's right.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
The new dog brought new life to the old.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Weenie exactly right. Feels like that, feels exactly like that.
If you've been through it, like your sister. The dog
people know what I'm saying. Skeeter was like, yeah, you're
the future. Okay, I get it, You're the future of
the family. But guess what I'm still right now, don't
you get it twisted? Yeah? I remember the last night
(06:36):
as I'm watching Lebron, it just hit me the preening,
the dominating the ball, making sure he sat next to
Luca after he had just cleaned house as the best
player on the floor. I saw that presser. Hey, hey, look,
I saw that presser. Not a lot of talk about
me in there, you know, so you mentioned rap Polinka.
Don't think for a second that I've lost a step, right,
(06:56):
even though the first question was about Kobe, that first
question about Kobe, I can still be the best player
on this team, even though you're okay, last one with
As I remember Willow when she would chase the ball,
I would launch the ball out of one of those
like slingshot things that I could hold because my arm's
just dead. Willow Paul ass and get it. Skeeter had
no shot of beating her to the ball, but halfway
(07:19):
back he'd be standing in front of her and she'd
drop it. He would pick it up and bring it
the rest of the way back to me. It's like, hey,
you do the heavy lifting, all right. But I'm getting
the credit with the owner, all right. I'm getting the
credit with the guys. Saturday is going to be interesting
if and who knows, I'm assuming Lebron's going to be here.
He's not going to get traded at the deadline. I
(07:40):
can maybe he wants out more on that, I guess
in a moment, But and they do have Golden State Thursday.
Maybe Lebron is changing in the visitors' locker room and
he's going to be a warrior. But if he's still
here and for the moment, let's just assume he is.
Fast forward to Saturday and he has pretty good team.
They are fourth in the Eastern Conference. Winners is seven
of their last ten. If the game is in the
(08:01):
balance late, Luca's been out since Christmas. Think back to
last year and Luca and those clutch shots in the
playoffs Minnesota and the conference finals, that game two, incredible
clutch shot. He can see it, he can dish it,
he can score it, just like Lebron. They both need
the ball to be most effective. So who's gonna be
holding it now? Maybe it won't come to that. Maybe
(08:24):
Luke will be eased back into playing since he's got
calves injuries. Maybe he's gassed by the end of the
first quarter or the drunk. Who knows, and Lebron will
be all too happy to make sure that notice is
served straight out the gate. This is still my team,
all right, this is still my house. That's still the bet.
I sleep on it and I get the first treat.
Are we clear? And I get the sense that Luke
(08:46):
will defer. He's set on multiple occasions that he admires
Lebron that he's not, and I can't imagine he would
step to him. Remember, it took him a minute for
he and Kyrie to gel because they were both trying
to play nice and deferred way too much. They didn't
make the playoffs after that trade.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
Common thread between the two of them, right, that they
both play with Kyrie Irving and they both figured it
out and had success.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Right, so they both know how to play with that guy.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
I'm sorry, I don't want to tee to her. I
don't want to try to have a thoughtful conversation about this.
I'd rather just crap all over it. I just want
to be angry and belligerent.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Answer the question why do the players get villainized but
the owners don't.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
I felt like the Mavericks that they had a funeral
in front of the American Airlines Center. The guy was
talking about they're giving people refunds on their season seats
because they're asking for them. It feels like they're being villified.
I called me crazy, h And by the way, the
other thing, as for the Lebron didn't know. It seems
like that's clearly the case. Yeah, right, his weird posting.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
I think, to be honest, Matt, like, one of the
most telling things is how pissed off Lebron people seem
to be about him. Yes, like that that is uh,
that is a bit of a telling thing. That makes
you think, like maybe he's playing nice up front and
now they've got to deal with a situation where there's
a new superstar for the future of the Lakers. It's
(10:08):
not Anthony Davis. It was never going to be Anthony Davis.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
He's not a superstar. This is the guy, and Lebron's
not happy about it. He's got his boot Lickuers.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
So he's got to go run and get the treat.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
They will do his body. That's right, he's the one
that picked up the ball and dropped it at the
feet of his boot lickuers. Wind Horse was on today
Echoen the sn look he's a mouthpiece, so you can't
take that on its face. But he said, yeah, he
didn't know, and he talked about the emotional FaceTime call
that he and Ad had that Ad was his handpicked
running mate.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Imagine how big both their faces were Oh God.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
I mean between his jaw and Anthony Davis's eyes. Oh,
like Vic and PJ just right up and right up
on it. He said that he was a little upset
by being blindsided, and Windhorse then delivered the line that
sold it to me. He said, you know, as much
as in the past he has said, no, Lebron, let's
(11:04):
Rob do what Rob wants to do. He knows the
front up. He said, this is the first time he
hasn't been briefed on a major trade in years, So
clearly forgetting what he said in the past about Lebron
when deals are made, particularly when he was defending him
in the wake of the Russell Westbrook disaster, where Polinka
had the buddy heel trade all squared away until Lebron
came in and put the caabash on that and said, no,
(11:25):
you're going to get Westbrook, and Winhurst was like, she
had nothing to do with that. He lets the front
office run itself. Well, today he said, it's the first
time in years that Lebron has not had a major trade.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Yeah, well, yeah, that's that's a little bit of a departure, right,
Like I thought he was never involved. I thought he
never knew about it, and now all of a sudden,
the one time he doesn't. He really didn't know, guys,
it really didn't. So you've been so you've been lying
the last fifteen years. Thanks a lot.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Yeah, and that all helps, by the way, lead us
to the cracking of the coffin in the NBA conspiracy theory,
blah blah blah that if Silver was gonna pull it off,
nobody can know. Nobody. This has got to be limited
to the four faces right here and me and only
(12:09):
us can know. Uh, Because in the post game, if
you missed the post game in or long for you
throughout eternity, Lebron did the now thing. You know, Well,
I'm here now. I'm committed to the Lakers now, you know.
For a guy who's constantly turning the screw and twisting
(12:30):
the nipple to get his teams to go, get players
to help him win.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Like the mas Robian high school intro song.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Right now, right now, and we're gonna play the lyrics
too to them on.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
A wait till tomorrow?
Speaker 2 (12:46):
What put it off another day?
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (12:49):
They certainly by the way, for a guy like look,
what does he do?
Speaker 4 (12:53):
I need?
Speaker 2 (12:54):
You know, but think about all the things that that
Lebron said this team. Uh, but I'm got Luke dun
one of the three best players in the league, and
it came at almost zero cost. Anthony Davis and Max
Christie is about as low a price as you could
ever have met. Nobody could have fathomed this trade could
be consummated with just Anthony Davis, Max Christie and a
(13:16):
twenty twenty nine first rounder. Uh. They would have assumed
that Austin Reeves is in there, Dalton connect is in there,
multiple first rounders, not just Anthony Davis and a guy
that made the starting lineup a month ago. But then,
when asked how he felt about the trade, instead of
congratulating Palinka on getting one of the three best players
(13:37):
in the league, he said, quote, I never seen this one,
and I've seen it all up until this one. I
have never been part of one transaction like that that
was different. It doesn't seem like a glowing review of
a guy who went out and got you the dude
who finished third in MVP voting last year and has
(13:58):
been an All NBA player for the last half decade
and is only twenty five years old. Now, he did
give Luca his Flowers. He said, quote Luke, it's been
my favorite player in the NBA for a while now.
But then he doesn't have to qualify that.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
The Lebron people cannot stand the thought of him not
being in control of the franchise anymore. They can't stand
the thought.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Right, and it's over because even when he said, when
he tried to do the oh, Luca's been my favorite
player in the NBA for a while now. Did I
tell you about Quabo when I found those guys?
Speaker 4 (14:29):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (14:29):
He added, let me tell you about the first page
of this Malcolm.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Xbo It says, to my dear sweet Evangeline, it is
kind of hard. This is what he said. It's kind
of hard right now to digest. That's the first I
thought it was an interesting start to the book. It
is kind of hard right now to digest what it's
going to look like on the floor. Don't forget who's
calling the shots, who's pulling the strings, or at least
it's supposed to. A first time head coach who is
(14:55):
younger than Lebron, who was a teammate of Lucas and
was clowned a little bit at the presser at the
end of his career, it's going to be pretty awkward
if things get awkward out there. To have JJ Reddick
be the guy that tries to make peace between these
two and tried to get it right. And I can
tell you who doesn't care. The Lakers after doesn't matter.
(15:19):
They don't care after a couple of years of Lebron
saying they're not good enough, the fact this whole Bronny
thing just stinks. The high hell ad demanding they trade
for another big man. Lebron's saying they need to be
perfect to win. I mean in El Segundo, in those
offices that overlook the practice court, they are farting rainbows
(15:41):
and riding freaking unicorns. And how did they pull it off?
Speaker 3 (15:46):
They got a new car. They got a new car
to drive him into the next decade.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Exactly right. They're all looking at each other going, can
you believe we have Luca? Because they know the fans
are looking at each other going, can you believe we
got Luka?
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Doncic?
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Where do I buy the jersey? How much did you
say it was yesterday? Two hundred and forty five bucks?
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Here's sixty five?
Speaker 2 (16:04):
How about this? Here is my prediction. We are over
halfway through the NBA season. When they release the number
one selling jersey in the NBA in June, Luka Doncic
will be number one. We have less than a half
of a season. They're gonna have They're gonna be sold out,
they're gonna have supply issues. At the end of the year.
(16:26):
The number one selling jersey in the NBA will be
the Luka Doncic Lakers jersey, and that will be what
they point to and go, yeah, we don't care.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
Because the Asian and Latino fan of La that loved
Kobe and hates Lebron, they're gonna be all in.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
On Luca exactly.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
They're gonna all be They're gonna all be wrapped in
the seventy seven exactly right, what a year.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
And he's fluent in Spanish. So how about that? Get
ins for tomorrow Lebron versus Steph Golden State. I mean,
you get the schedule, that's an A level game. You
circle that and say, iway, if you're splitting season tickets
with somebody else, you're like, yeah, February sixth, I want
that one. Get into one hundred and ninety dollars Luca
(17:13):
versus Mavericks Revenge game. February twenty fifth, three weeks from now,
three hundred and seventy five dollars geit ins double what
Lebron versus Steph is between the baselines downstairs. There is
nothing under a thousand bucks. Look, projections are this is
(17:33):
gonna be good for Lebron, that he won't have to
dominate the ball as much, that he can rest more.
But that's more spotlight time for Luke. Is he good
with that? What if let's just imagine there's like a blowout,
you know, and Lucas out there and Luca with that
great vision and that that Doncic magic, maybe he whips
one of his special Nobody saw that come and passes
(17:54):
for Bronni to get an easy bucket or three.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Well you saw that Anthony Davis made Bronni move on
a bench, and maybe that's why Lebron made him. Well
that was etheriately.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Think about Brownie like high five and Luca Chess bumping up,
being like, hey, Luca, you make the best passage. You
set me up. Man, I've had a six point game
yet in my career.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
That was amazing.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Everybody likes me now, everybody likes me now.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
The possibilities are so damn fun to imagine for nearly,
well not for everyone, for nearly everyone.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
There's yeah two people out there. I think the people
that really like Lebron are very upset.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Yes, because I've only heard two people point out that
Luca can walk away after next season, that he would
walk away because there's no more supermacs and the Lakers
can only offer him the thirty percent, not like the
Mavericks could the thirty five percent and he would never
walk away. I've only heard two people mention that, or
those that buy into the idea there's a fat, bloated drunk,
(18:52):
but most suspect, and Shack delivered a skating criticism of
those that are suggesting that he's overweight and out of
shape based on what he saw. I don't know the
first six years of his career. This seems like he's
looked kind of the same, and the guy seems to
be pretty damn good however he looks when he's out there.
But many suspect that he will sign a deal that'll
(19:13):
be very player friendly in July five years player options,
no trade clause. You gave him a new trade cause
and I'd wait till this last year when I was
forty years old to get mine. Yeah, that's right, It's
exactly right. That's how this works. After this whole ordeal,
the Lakers managed to do it again, acquiring one of
the five best players in the league when they were
(19:33):
at a low point, just like they did when they
got Kareem abdul Jabbar from the Bucks. Now, follow along
with me here, Okay, don't you compare him? I am not.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
Don't do it.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
I'm not comparing. See if you follow along, you'll understand
where I'm going with this. They traded somehow. They convinced
the Milwaukee Bucks to give up Kareem abdul Jabbar when
he was the best player in the league and he
came to the Lakers.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
But he didn't like it anyway, Go ahead.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
I'm sorry. They were able to convince Shaquille O'Neill to
leave the Orlando Magic and sign with the Lakers as
a free agent, even though he had been to the
NBA Finals with the Magic just a couple years prior.
They were able to trade for the Philadelphia seventy six
Ers Wilt Chamberlain, coming off a title in sixty seven
(20:23):
and still being the best player in basketball. Yes, you
can mention that because Wilt was one of the best
players in the league at the time, and nobody could
believe the Sixers, who had just won a title two
years prior, opted to send him to the Lakers. The
basketball world was aghast that somehow Wilt was going to
be lining up with Elgin Baylor and Jerry West and
(20:46):
the Lakers out in Los Angeles. And now you get
Luka Doncic twenty six in a couple weeks, five all
nbaighteen nods on his resume in just six years of basketball,
and the whole basketball world, like they did in nineteen
sixty nine when Wilt was traded, cannot believe the luck
of the Lakers to get an incredible top three talent
(21:10):
for the next five or five years in the case
of Will ten in the case of Luca. It's a
tough it's a tough thread to follow, but that's what
we're saying here.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Well, if I mean, I was under the impression you've
made this very uncomfortable for me, and I was under
the impression that the next twenty years we're going to
be the reign of the king.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Forever into his sixties.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
That's what I thought.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
That's what it should be.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
And then Bryce and Bronny. Oh, you know that's what
I thought. You know, Napoleon's nephew takes over in France.
That's what I thought was gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
I heard there's a bastard out there that's ready to
come over.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
All right, we'll be bad with Eric Daily Junior. He
will ask him about the trade too. He loves lebron
and Luca, the great truth UCLA Guard who won it
for him last night. Eric Daily will join us next
looking forward to that.
Speaker 2 (22:13):

You can listen to the show anywhere in the world.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
Matt, We're excited to have Eric Daily Junior on an
exciting UCLA guard. You saw him last night shooting fifty
two percent from the field, averaging twelve points and four rebounds,
having a heck of a sophomore season, his first at
UCLA after holding it down in still Water where he
had a podcast last year. I know because it's in
(23:00):
the bios. How do you know that Alex told us
he went to IMG Academy in high school. Game winning
bucket last night a very exciting moment, and UCLA is
on fire.
Speaker 5 (23:13):
Here's the call from Josh Luwiekins to go bounce pass
to Daily.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
He's on the right elbow. He'll drive inside, draw contact.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Bake it in. Seven point five to go.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Now, it's all about the defense. Michigan State calls time out.
Michigan State will have to take it all the way down.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
They need to make him use the clock up here
in the front court.
Speaker 5 (23:30):
They'll roll it in and fears challenged by sky Clark.
We'll pick it up now at three quarters court. They'll
show him across Whittle to the right. Four seconds, three
seconds to Akins a three to win it. Go God
on the punt, iron fool game, Boulings win, Bruins win Coy.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
That was the heck of a game. Yes, it's great
because of Eric Day Junior, and of course he went
over to Petecock and did an interview, and then he
went over and talked to Josh Tracy on with us
on the Southern California Toyo toa Dinner Celebrity hotline u
c l A has got Penn stayed over the weekend.
What's Cracking?
Speaker 4 (24:06):
Eric?
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Congratulations and welcome to the show. How are you?
Speaker 4 (24:10):
What's going on? What's going on? I got chills when
I heard that play call again.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
It was it was should a lot of fun to
uh to witness. Uh. I don't have peacock, so I
had to listen on the radio. Uh. My partner saw
it live on the peacock. Yeah, he's got big money. Uh.
But overall, Uh, it was pretty wild because you'd gone
a little cold, Uh, as as tend to happen with
any college basketball team. A lot of guys out there playing.
(24:37):
You didn't get as many shots up uh toward the
second half. What gave you the confidence to go and
take the game winning shot right there that you heard?
Speaker 4 (24:46):
Yeah, you know some games, you know sometimes the shots
are not going to fall, but it's all good. You
just got to stay locked into the moment. And honestly,
I just wanted to win. And when you stay locked
into winning, you know good things can come out of it.
And you know, coach trusting me at the end of it,
hit shot, and that's what I did.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
So the coach said it repeatedly after the game. You
know that you when you can win games when you're
not shooting the ball, well that's what separates you know,
if you can't, you're not going to get far, especially
as we approach March. So take us through the player's mindset, Eric,
when I mean, because darn, neither team was really able
(25:22):
to get it going. And a lot of that speaks
to these or two you guys are two really good
defensive teams, but sort of what's the mentality about shots
you want to take, how you want to approach your
offense when you're going through a drought that's like darn
near half of the second half.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
Yeah, I mean it's hard. You know, we got a
lot of great looks as well, and they were just
simply not falling for us, which is you know, is fine.
We just had to find a way to just stay tough.
And I think our defense, health and us not turning
the ball over helped us a lot. I know we
got killed on the rebounds, and but it's still to
be able to, you know, win with limited turnovers. That
(25:56):
that was a big part of this game.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Kind of if you don't mind take us through that
final play. You know there's still seven seconds on the
clock when you decide to attack, kind of walk us
through what was said in the huddle, in the time
out and what the different options were that that you
had to kind of approach before you decided that that
was the path you were going to take to get
that game winning basket.
Speaker 4 (26:15):
Yeah, coach subbed me in, you know, with that with
that time left, and he told me to pop off
to the elbow, fake you off the DA and get
downhill to the left, and it worked exactly as plan.
I just knew I just had to get a shout off,
and I know we still had time to rebound the
ball if it was missed, so I just wanted to
get a quick shout off, and you know, I saw
(26:37):
the backboard and it's all me and it a little
good from there, so.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
And it was good. Eric Daly Junior joining us right
now on the Petrosen Money Show. You know last year
you were in still Water. That's a place we've all been,
I think, and you know you could see the whole
place if you stand on a tuna can is what
they say. Now you're posted out in Westwood with a
whole group of different teammates and a wild man and
as the head coach. How much of a change, How
(27:02):
much of a change is it for you? And how
hard is it to get acclimated so quickly? It feels
like you guys in college basketball don't have a lot
of time.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
Yeah, you know, Thomas out the essence for us, but
I feel like our team we came together quickly. Coaches then,
you know, preaching toughness with us and as a team
we just stay connected. You know, we've been doing all
the hard things as a team and just communicating and
knowing what's going on, and it's all helping us. Honestly,
(27:32):
even when we was going through the little drought we
went through. With those four games, we learned so much
about ourselves and as a team and what we can
be and our potential is is out this roof. You know.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
Coach Cronin has often said you're the hardest worker out
there on and off the court, on the on the team.
How did you develop that that work ethic? And does
that keep him from yelling at you.
Speaker 4 (27:59):
Alli. Honestly, I think I just love basketball so mudys
man like, like I grew up in the basketball family.
My mom and dad played and coached, and just you know,
I can't really not be around the game, and uh
from a from a basketball standpoint, just my work as
it came from just you know, being overlooked, uh some
(28:20):
most times in high school, you know, not having the
same exposure. So I had to work twice as hard, uh,
just to stay on point with my skills and everything.
And I feel like, you know, I'm not the only
one that works hard on this team. We are. We
have a team full of hard workers. I think. I
think it just stands out the coach, uh that dom
in the gym as much as I am, and uh,
(28:42):
you know, and be able to show up every day
as much as I do.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
So much was made eric about, you know, kind of
what coach was saying publicly to the media when you
guys were in the midst of that four game losing streak,
you know, coming off the Rutgers and the Maryland and
the Michigan, especially the Michigan game. Kind of how do
you take that as as a player, certainly, you know
the type of coach that that Mick Cronin is We
Love Me, comes on the show a lot, but kind
(29:06):
of walk us through what's going on in the in
the locker room and with you guys. When you see
that that he's decided to take those comments public.
Speaker 4 (29:14):
Yeah, you're talking about the soft of losing.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
No comment exactly that one exactly you got here.
Speaker 4 (29:20):
Hey, hey all, I gotta say it worked. It worked
for our team. At that point in time, we probably
was soft and delusional. I think, you know, I think
as a team, you know, we came together it was like, yeah,
we're tired of it, Like we're sick of losing. Uh,
we're sick of you know, people talking about us how
they do and honestly forget everybody that's not on our side.
(29:42):
And I think as a team, we just we just
came together and we was like, all right, let's let's
let's turn this thing around, and we're gonna have a
different attitude and we're gonna we're gonna be out there
and be dogs. So that's what we've been doing these
past these past games, and it's been helping us a lot.
And I love the mindset our team been having, you.
Speaker 3 (29:59):
Know, It's crazy for us, Eric, because it's we do
sports talk radio and it's Super Bowl week and usually
that dominates everything. We barely talk about. We're talking UCLA
basketball and obviously this big trade. I wouldn't bring it
up to you if if you didn't have Lebron and
Luka Doncic listed as the two guys that you model
(30:20):
your game after. Uh as a player. Uh, what was
your reaction to that trade? And and are you gonna
have time to to skulk on over to the Crypto
and watch those guys play?
Speaker 4 (30:31):
Yeah, I heard he played Thursday. I'm trying to go
see what that with that game had on. So I
want to see definitely want to see them. That they're
both on the same team now as my two favorite players.
It's it's kind of crazy. And we're all in the
same city, which is even more crazy. So uh, you
know they're they're close at home, and I'm I definitely
want to go to Crypto and see a game.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
Well, let's get some uh Eric Daily Junior analysis then,
because you know a lot of the talking heads out
there and we got real basketball analysis coming here now.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
We here we go in a podcast PODCASTNIS guys to
do podcasts and I amg.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
So let's say, what do you, Eric, what do you
make of the of the the idea that these two
guys might struggle a little bit to play together because
they do kind of the same thing. I mean, Lucas
Setti basically modeled this game growing up after Lebron.
Speaker 4 (31:21):
Yeah, you know, like any new team, they just they're
gonna find, you know, the camaraderiees And honestly, they're one
of the two their two greatest players in the in
the league right now, and they you know, as pros,
they'll figure it out. Of course, you know, Lebron is
unselfish and Lucas unselfish as well. So I feel like
they'll Joe off Joe together and make their team way better, honestly. Uh.
(31:46):
And yeah, I mean it's it's it's showtime for them. Honestly.
It's gonna be great watching them play on the court together.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
So let's say the Lakers reach out and they say, hey,
we got we got some tickets for you. We want
you to come to the game. Uh, and then when
you get there.
Speaker 4 (31:58):
You're there.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
Okay, It's it's not illegal, not illegal anymore. So, so
you show up and when you get there, there's a
table and they say, hey, here's the only catch. We
want you to wear one of these two if you
don't mind, because we're gonna put you on the TV.
Here and there's a Lebron jersey and there's a Luca jersey.
Which one you're gonna grab? Because you gotta grab one
in order to go in. You have to do which
which one of the two do you want to put
(32:20):
on to wear when you walk into your seats.
Speaker 4 (32:23):
Ah, this is crazy because I've been a Lebron fan
since I was born, so I'm definitely taking the Lebron
jersey roll with the new But hey, but to be
very I watched Luca where he was in when he
played for Real Madrid and when I was young. I
was young, I watched him when he was playing your
league still and that's kind of when I started to
(32:43):
fall in love with his game. So that would be hard.
But you know, I'm a I'm a Bron fan for sure,
so I'll definitely be waring that. Okay, what a question.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
Hey he answered it.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
We love that.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
I wonder he had a podcast.
Speaker 3 (32:54):
Real Answers Tunior is our guest su You know one
thing we've heard a lot of and you've been around,
you know, school in Florida and Oklahoma last year, but
being in the Big Ten traveling around seeing the Statue
of Liberty twice, Coach Prona tried to say, you guys
saw the Eiffel Tower. That was a lie. Uh how
(33:16):
hard has it been on you guys? It feels like
you guys have have reached a tough part of the
schedule and ground ground your way through it.
Speaker 4 (33:23):
Yeah, it's it's almost like an NBA schedule. Honestly, it's
just we got class and we got worried about school
while we're on these road trips and you know, the travels.
It's hard sometimes, but honestly, just getting us documented for
the professional lifestyle as a as a as players and
as young guys. You know, now we know what it now.
Now we know what the East Coast swing feels like
(33:44):
and being away for you know, X amount of days,
and honestly, it's tough. Everybody in the Big Ten is
going through it just because you know, we got some
teams on the West Coast and teams on the East Coast,
and some teams in the in the Middlewest. So you honestly,
hand all all time zones, and uh, it's hard to
get used to time changing like that when you're constantly
flying back and forth. So you know, it's just really
(34:06):
just trying to be the toughest team each night you
go out there and uh be as ready as possible.
So yeah, it's definitely tough, but you know, you can't
you can't change this casual.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
All right, last one for me here, Eric, We were
told about the podcast, so share with us. Do you
still do it or when you did it? Was it
just like a sports party? Was it like dollars with
Daily a finance podcast?
Speaker 5 (34:29):
Like?
Speaker 2 (34:29):
What was what was the deal with the podcast?
Speaker 4 (34:33):
Yeah? The podcast was Crossover with Ali e. So y'all,
y'all should know who Ali Gordon is. He was one
of the runs. Yeah, so me and me and Ali
we had a podcast last year what we bring different
sports on and we'll talk you know, how how certain
people got into their sport. We'll talk about you know,
(34:53):
just like the workouts they'll do. And honestly, it was
just like a space for athletes and I also with
the state to express themselves because I feel like a
lot of fans don't know a lot about athletes and
you know, their personal lives and their personalities. I really
wanted people to see the personalities of athletes and on that.
You know, we're serious when we're on the field, but
we're also fun people and you know when we're not.
(35:15):
And I think that was just like the great space,
a great space to do it on the podcast.
Speaker 3 (35:19):
I'm telling you, I mean you're gonna get some phone
calls after this. I tell you, I mean, knock down
the door radio. I mean, you got Oklahoma State to
you got all those weird wrestlers and golfers running around wild.
Uh yeah, yeah, Well, we appreciate you, Eric. It's great
to watch you guys have success. We love these UCLA
(35:41):
teams and this year's team has been especially fun to watch.
Congratulations on last night and good luck this weekend against
the Nitney Lions.

And we just talked to Sweet James. We're gonna talk
to Eric Daily Junior of the UCLA Bruins at the
big game winning shot last night. In the very next segment,
James Worthy join the show. We've got a lot going on,
but right now it's time for the top story of
the eight Top story of it.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Well, it continues to be the story of Los Angeles.
And if it hadn't come on the heels of a
thirty point triple double against the Knicks in the Garden
Legit Eastern Conference title contenders, you could to argue that
last night was Lebron's best game of the season. Considering
the opponent. The Clippers are one of the league's best
(02:21):
defensive teams. They're back to full strength, Kawhi is back
in the lineup. He's logging between twenty five and thirty
minutes a game. It's a team that should have matched
up favorably with the Lakers, considering their lack of a center.
Zubots is a borderline All Star. The Lakers also just
lost their best wing defender and Max Christie trying to
(02:42):
slow down both James, Harden and Norman poll to very
very good to at times prolific scores this season, and
the Lakers routed him, and they routed him with a
roster that's kind of depleted. Led by Lebron, twenty six
points on just thirteen shots, a model of efficiency to
go with eight rebel nine assists. He only needed thirty
one minutes to deliver the knockout. The Root played his
(03:06):
ass off. You know they got hammered by the Clippers
a couple weeks ago. James led the team in scoring
last night, he was a plus nineteen, second only to
the Vandalorian. Why are you calling him that? Who played
only eighteen minutes. Lebron set his teammates up for easy buckets.
Austin Reeves was seven for thirteen, RUI shot fifty percent.
(03:30):
Dalton connect was able to shake out of his slump
for fourteen points on six to nine shooting Lakers clocked
in at fifty six percent from the floor. And I
think people that know the show I have been listening
to the show for a while know that I'm a
dog guy, mostly because David Vessey, when he was our
producer before becoming the intrepid Dodger reporter that he is
(03:51):
now got upset with me once in the air.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
I mean, I like dogs. I'm very allergic to dogs.
I mean, they may they'll ruin my night, you know,
or my day being around them. It's hard to dislike dogs.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Yeah, you have to be a weird person.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
But you're like a real dog owner, you know that
walks the dog around, you know, hides the dog's poop
and somebody else's take care. You know, you really do
it big.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
It's a hot time I day.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
You bury it in the sand for a hobo to
step on.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
If you really want to get to me and emotionally
hurt me, you say things like David dead.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Oh, your dog's dead. How does that feel? How's it
going now that Dick is deadn't like your take head?
Your dog is dead? I do remember that was you know,
toward the end, you know, before he went over to
the door.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
So where am I going with this? Well, after Dick's dead,
you idiot. The next dog we got Skeeter. That was
the name the Foster family gave him from the Southern
California Labrador Retriever Rescue who rescued. Who huh if you're
looking for a dog, hit him up rescue a laugh.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
They're the best.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
But Skeeter had been struggling the last year. So I
had cancer for three years. We were doing treatment. He's
slowing down, and when that happened, we adopted Willow, a
nine month old. Kind of right at the end, we're like,
you know what, Skeeter can show her the ropes?
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Saw, Yeah, I see where you're going with this.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
So Willow shows up and what Skeeter do? He gets
his a game back. Man. He sees me taking Willow
out to play fetch on the beach, and now all
of a sudden, Skeeter wants to chase the ball again
instead of sitting downstairs. Poor guy was a little too
painful him to get up the stairs. Willow's coming upstairs
with me. Guess what, Skeeter's now coming up the stairs.
She wants to jump on the bed at night. He
(05:37):
was not doing that for the previous six months. He's
now jumping on the bed at night. It was a Hey,
you might be new here and you might be peeing
spring water. Okay, but I'm the star, I'm my alpha.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
My sister did that with her Wiener dogs, and what happens, Well,
I mean, I gotta say, Captain Weeney, my sisters, no,
Wiener dogs should be as old as that dog is none.
And I mean this thing it looks like a stick.
It's so skinny now it's just but anyway, yes it is.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
It's right.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
The new dog brought new life to the old.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Weenie exactly right. Feels like that, feels exactly like that.
If you've been through it, like your sister. The dog
people know what I'm saying. Skeeter was like, yeah, you're
the future. Okay, I get it, You're the future of
the family. But guess what I'm still right now, don't
you get it twisted? Yeah? I remember the last night
(06:36):
as I'm watching Lebron, it just hit me the preening,
the dominating the ball, making sure he sat next to
Luca after he had just cleaned house as the best
player on the floor. I saw that presser. Hey, hey, look,
I saw that presser. Not a lot of talk about
me in there, you know, so you mentioned rap Polinka.
Don't think for a second that I've lost a step, right,
(06:56):
even though the first question was about Kobe, that first
question about Kobe, I can still be the best player
on this team, even though you're okay, last one with
As I remember Willow when she would chase the ball,
I would launch the ball out of one of those
like slingshot things that I could hold because my arm's
just dead. Willow Paul ass and get it. Skeeter had
no shot of beating her to the ball, but halfway
(07:19):
back he'd be standing in front of her and she'd
drop it. He would pick it up and bring it
the rest of the way back to me. It's like, hey,
you do the heavy lifting, all right. But I'm getting
the credit with the owner, all right. I'm getting the
credit with the guys. Saturday is going to be interesting
if and who knows, I'm assuming Lebron's going to be here.
He's not going to get traded at the deadline. I
(07:40):
can maybe he wants out more on that, I guess
in a moment, But and they do have Golden State Thursday.
Maybe Lebron is changing in the visitors' locker room and
he's going to be a warrior. But if he's still
here and for the moment, let's just assume he is.
Fast forward to Saturday and he has pretty good team.
They are fourth in the Eastern Conference. Winners is seven
of their last ten. If the game is in the
(08:01):
balance late, Luca's been out since Christmas. Think back to
last year and Luca and those clutch shots in the
playoffs Minnesota and the conference finals, that game two, incredible
clutch shot. He can see it, he can dish it,
he can score it, just like Lebron. They both need
the ball to be most effective. So who's gonna be
holding it now? Maybe it won't come to that. Maybe
(08:24):
Luke will be eased back into playing since he's got
calves injuries. Maybe he's gassed by the end of the
first quarter or the drunk. Who knows, and Lebron will
be all too happy to make sure that notice is
served straight out the gate. This is still my team,
all right, this is still my house. That's still the bet.
I sleep on it and I get the first treat.
Are we clear? And I get the sense that Luke
(08:46):
will defer. He's set on multiple occasions that he admires
Lebron that he's not, and I can't imagine he would
step to him. Remember, it took him a minute for
he and Kyrie to gel because they were both trying
to play nice and deferred way too much. They didn't
make the playoffs after that trade.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
Common thread between the two of them, right, that they
both play with Kyrie Irving and they both figured it
out and had success.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Right, so they both know how to play with that guy.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
I'm sorry, I don't want to tee to her. I
don't want to try to have a thoughtful conversation about this.
I'd rather just crap all over it. I just want
to be angry and belligerent.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Answer the question why do the players get villainized but
the owners don't.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
I felt like the Mavericks that they had a funeral
in front of the American Airlines Center. The guy was
talking about they're giving people refunds on their season seats
because they're asking for them. It feels like they're being villified.
I called me crazy, h And by the way, the
other thing, as for the Lebron didn't know. It seems
like that's clearly the case. Yeah, right, his weird posting.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
I think, to be honest, Matt, like, one of the
most telling things is how pissed off Lebron people seem
to be about him. Yes, like that that is uh,
that is a bit of a telling thing. That makes
you think, like maybe he's playing nice up front and
now they've got to deal with a situation where there's
a new superstar for the future of the Lakers. It's
(10:08):
not Anthony Davis. It was never going to be Anthony Davis.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
He's not a superstar. This is the guy, and Lebron's
not happy about it. He's got his boot Lickuers.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
So he's got to go run and get the treat.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
They will do his body. That's right, he's the one
that picked up the ball and dropped it at the
feet of his boot lickuers. Wind Horse was on today
Echoen the sn look he's a mouthpiece, so you can't
take that on its face. But he said, yeah, he
didn't know, and he talked about the emotional FaceTime call
that he and Ad had that Ad was his handpicked
running mate.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Imagine how big both their faces were Oh God.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
I mean between his jaw and Anthony Davis's eyes. Oh,
like Vic and PJ just right up and right up
on it. He said that he was a little upset
by being blindsided, and Windhorse then delivered the line that
sold it to me. He said, you know, as much
as in the past he has said, no, Lebron, let's
(11:04):
Rob do what Rob wants to do. He knows the
front up. He said, this is the first time he
hasn't been briefed on a major trade in years, So
clearly forgetting what he said in the past about Lebron
when deals are made, particularly when he was defending him
in the wake of the Russell Westbrook disaster, where Polinka
had the buddy heel trade all squared away until Lebron
came in and put the caabash on that and said, no,
(11:25):
you're going to get Westbrook, and Winhurst was like, she
had nothing to do with that. He lets the front
office run itself. Well, today he said, it's the first
time in years that Lebron has not had a major trade.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Yeah, well, yeah, that's that's a little bit of a departure, right,
Like I thought he was never involved. I thought he
never knew about it, and now all of a sudden,
the one time he doesn't. He really didn't know, guys,
it really didn't. So you've been so you've been lying
the last fifteen years. Thanks a lot.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Yeah, and that all helps, by the way, lead us
to the cracking of the coffin in the NBA conspiracy theory,
blah blah blah that if Silver was gonna pull it off,
nobody can know. Nobody. This has got to be limited
to the four faces right here and me and only
(12:09):
us can know. Uh, Because in the post game, if
you missed the post game in or long for you
throughout eternity, Lebron did the now thing. You know, Well,
I'm here now. I'm committed to the Lakers now, you know.
For a guy who's constantly turning the screw and twisting
(12:30):
the nipple to get his teams to go, get players
to help him win.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Like the mas Robian high school intro song.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Right now, right now, and we're gonna play the lyrics
too to them on.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
A wait till tomorrow?
Speaker 2 (12:46):
What put it off another day?
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (12:49):
They certainly by the way, for a guy like look,
what does he do?
Speaker 4 (12:53):
I need?
Speaker 2 (12:54):
You know, but think about all the things that that
Lebron said this team. Uh, but I'm got Luke dun
one of the three best players in the league, and
it came at almost zero cost. Anthony Davis and Max
Christie is about as low a price as you could
ever have met. Nobody could have fathomed this trade could
be consummated with just Anthony Davis, Max Christie and a
(13:16):
twenty twenty nine first rounder. Uh. They would have assumed
that Austin Reeves is in there, Dalton connect is in there,
multiple first rounders, not just Anthony Davis and a guy
that made the starting lineup a month ago. But then,
when asked how he felt about the trade, instead of
congratulating Palinka on getting one of the three best players
(13:37):
in the league, he said, quote, I never seen this one,
and I've seen it all up until this one. I
have never been part of one transaction like that that
was different. It doesn't seem like a glowing review of
a guy who went out and got you the dude
who finished third in MVP voting last year and has
(13:58):
been an All NBA player for the last half decade
and is only twenty five years old. Now, he did
give Luca his Flowers. He said, quote Luke, it's been
my favorite player in the NBA for a while now.
But then he doesn't have to qualify that.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
The Lebron people cannot stand the thought of him not
being in control of the franchise anymore. They can't stand
the thought.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Right, and it's over because even when he said, when
he tried to do the oh, Luca's been my favorite
player in the NBA for a while now. Did I
tell you about Quabo when I found those guys?
Speaker 4 (14:29):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (14:29):
He added, let me tell you about the first page
of this Malcolm.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Xbo It says, to my dear sweet Evangeline, it is
kind of hard. This is what he said. It's kind
of hard right now to digest. That's the first I
thought it was an interesting start to the book. It
is kind of hard right now to digest what it's
going to look like on the floor. Don't forget who's
calling the shots, who's pulling the strings, or at least
it's supposed to. A first time head coach who is
(14:55):
younger than Lebron, who was a teammate of Lucas and
was clowned a little bit at the presser at the
end of his career, it's going to be pretty awkward
if things get awkward out there. To have JJ Reddick
be the guy that tries to make peace between these
two and tried to get it right. And I can
tell you who doesn't care. The Lakers after doesn't matter.
(15:19):
They don't care after a couple of years of Lebron
saying they're not good enough, the fact this whole Bronny
thing just stinks. The high hell ad demanding they trade
for another big man. Lebron's saying they need to be
perfect to win. I mean in El Segundo, in those
offices that overlook the practice court, they are farting rainbows
(15:41):
and riding freaking unicorns. And how did they pull it off?
Speaker 3 (15:46):
They got a new car. They got a new car
to drive him into the next decade.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Exactly right. They're all looking at each other going, can
you believe we have Luca? Because they know the fans
are looking at each other going, can you believe we
got Luka?
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Doncic?
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Where do I buy the jersey? How much did you
say it was yesterday? Two hundred and forty five bucks?
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Here's sixty five?
Speaker 2 (16:04):
How about this? Here is my prediction. We are over
halfway through the NBA season. When they release the number
one selling jersey in the NBA in June, Luka Doncic
will be number one. We have less than a half
of a season. They're gonna have They're gonna be sold out,
they're gonna have supply issues. At the end of the year.
(16:26):
The number one selling jersey in the NBA will be
the Luka Doncic Lakers jersey, and that will be what
they point to and go, yeah, we don't care.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
Because the Asian and Latino fan of La that loved
Kobe and hates Lebron, they're gonna be all in.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
On Luca exactly.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
They're gonna all be They're gonna all be wrapped in
the seventy seven exactly right, what a year.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
And he's fluent in Spanish. So how about that? Get
ins for tomorrow Lebron versus Steph Golden State. I mean,
you get the schedule, that's an A level game. You
circle that and say, iway, if you're splitting season tickets
with somebody else, you're like, yeah, February sixth, I want
that one. Get into one hundred and ninety dollars Luca
(17:13):
versus Mavericks Revenge game. February twenty fifth, three weeks from now,
three hundred and seventy five dollars geit ins double what
Lebron versus Steph is between the baselines downstairs. There is
nothing under a thousand bucks. Look, projections are this is
(17:33):
gonna be good for Lebron, that he won't have to
dominate the ball as much, that he can rest more.
But that's more spotlight time for Luke. Is he good
with that? What if let's just imagine there's like a blowout,
you know, and Lucas out there and Luca with that
great vision and that that Doncic magic, maybe he whips
one of his special Nobody saw that come and passes
(17:54):
for Bronni to get an easy bucket or three.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Well you saw that Anthony Davis made Bronni move on
a bench, and maybe that's why Lebron made him. Well
that was etheriately.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Think about Brownie like high five and Luca Chess bumping up,
being like, hey, Luca, you make the best passage. You
set me up. Man, I've had a six point game
yet in my career.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
That was amazing.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Everybody likes me now, everybody likes me now.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
The possibilities are so damn fun to imagine for nearly,
well not for everyone, for nearly everyone.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
There's yeah two people out there. I think the people
that really like Lebron are very upset.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Yes, because I've only heard two people point out that
Luca can walk away after next season, that he would
walk away because there's no more supermacs and the Lakers
can only offer him the thirty percent, not like the
Mavericks could the thirty five percent and he would never
walk away. I've only heard two people mention that, or
those that buy into the idea there's a fat, bloated drunk,
(18:52):
but most suspect, and Shack delivered a skating criticism of
those that are suggesting that he's overweight and out of
shape based on what he saw. I don't know the
first six years of his career. This seems like he's
looked kind of the same, and the guy seems to
be pretty damn good however he looks when he's out there.
But many suspect that he will sign a deal that'll
(19:13):
be very player friendly in July five years player options,
no trade clause. You gave him a new trade cause
and I'd wait till this last year when I was
forty years old to get mine. Yeah, that's right, It's
exactly right. That's how this works. After this whole ordeal,
the Lakers managed to do it again, acquiring one of
the five best players in the league when they were
(19:33):
at a low point, just like they did when they
got Kareem abdul Jabbar from the Bucks. Now, follow along
with me here, Okay, don't you compare him? I am not.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
Don't do it.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
I'm not comparing. See if you follow along, you'll understand
where I'm going with this. They traded somehow. They convinced
the Milwaukee Bucks to give up Kareem abdul Jabbar when
he was the best player in the league and he
came to the Lakers.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
But he didn't like it anyway, Go ahead.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
I'm sorry. They were able to convince Shaquille O'Neill to
leave the Orlando Magic and sign with the Lakers as
a free agent, even though he had been to the
NBA Finals with the Magic just a couple years prior.
They were able to trade for the Philadelphia seventy six
Ers Wilt Chamberlain, coming off a title in sixty seven
(20:23):
and still being the best player in basketball. Yes, you
can mention that because Wilt was one of the best
players in the league at the time, and nobody could
believe the Sixers, who had just won a title two
years prior, opted to send him to the Lakers. The
basketball world was aghast that somehow Wilt was going to
be lining up with Elgin Baylor and Jerry West and
(20:46):
the Lakers out in Los Angeles. And now you get
Luka Doncic twenty six in a couple weeks, five all
nbaighteen nods on his resume in just six years of basketball,
and the whole basketball world, like they did in nineteen
sixty nine when Wilt was traded, cannot believe the luck
of the Lakers to get an incredible top three talent
(21:10):
for the next five or five years in the case
of Will ten in the case of Luca. It's a
tough it's a tough thread to follow, but that's what
we're saying here.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Well, if I mean, I was under the impression you've
made this very uncomfortable for me, and I was under
the impression that the next twenty years we're going to
be the reign of the king.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Forever into his sixties.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
That's what I thought.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
That's what it should be.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
And then Bryce and Bronny. Oh, you know that's what
I thought. You know, Napoleon's nephew takes over in France.
That's what I thought was gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
I heard there's a bastard out there that's ready to
come over.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
All right, we'll be bad with Eric Daily Junior. He
will ask him about the trade too. He loves lebron
and Luca, the great truth UCLA Guard who won it
for him last night. Eric Daily will join us next
looking forward to that.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Petro said Money Am five seventy LA Sports. We are
live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Remember anything you missed,
you can always relive with the Petro Send Money podcast
and Petro Some Money on demand. You just hit that
AM five to seventy LA Sports tab on the iHeartRadio
app and it is all right there. You don't even
need to be near an AM radio or in Los Angeles.
(22:34):
You can listen to the show anywhere in the world.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
Matt, We're excited to have Eric Daily Junior on an
exciting UCLA guard. You saw him last night shooting fifty
two percent from the field, averaging twelve points and four rebounds,
having a heck of a sophomore season, his first at
UCLA after holding it down in still Water where he
had a podcast last year. I know because it's in
(23:00):
the bios. How do you know that Alex told us
he went to IMG Academy in high school. Game winning
bucket last night a very exciting moment, and UCLA is
on fire.
Speaker 5 (23:13):
Here's the call from Josh Luwiekins to go bounce pass
to Daily.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
He's on the right elbow. He'll drive inside, draw contact.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Bake it in. Seven point five to go.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Now, it's all about the defense. Michigan State calls time out.
Michigan State will have to take it all the way down.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
They need to make him use the clock up here
in the front court.
Speaker 5 (23:30):
They'll roll it in and fears challenged by sky Clark.
We'll pick it up now at three quarters court. They'll
show him across Whittle to the right. Four seconds, three
seconds to Akins a three to win it. Go God
on the punt, iron fool game, Boulings win, Bruins win Coy.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
That was the heck of a game. Yes, it's great
because of Eric Day Junior, and of course he went
over to Petecock and did an interview, and then he
went over and talked to Josh Tracy on with us
on the Southern California Toyo toa Dinner Celebrity hotline u
c l A has got Penn stayed over the weekend.
What's Cracking?
Speaker 4 (24:06):
Eric?
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Congratulations and welcome to the show. How are you?
Speaker 4 (24:10):
What's going on? What's going on? I got chills when
I heard that play call again.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
It was it was should a lot of fun to
uh to witness. Uh. I don't have peacock, so I
had to listen on the radio. Uh. My partner saw
it live on the peacock. Yeah, he's got big money. Uh.
But overall, Uh, it was pretty wild because you'd gone
a little cold, Uh, as as tend to happen with
any college basketball team. A lot of guys out there playing.
(24:37):
You didn't get as many shots up uh toward the
second half. What gave you the confidence to go and
take the game winning shot right there that you heard?
Speaker 4 (24:46):
Yeah, you know some games, you know sometimes the shots
are not going to fall, but it's all good. You
just got to stay locked into the moment. And honestly,
I just wanted to win. And when you stay locked
into winning, you know good things can come out of it.
And you know, coach trusting me at the end of it,
hit shot, and that's what I did.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
So the coach said it repeatedly after the game. You
know that you when you can win games when you're
not shooting the ball, well that's what separates you know,
if you can't, you're not going to get far, especially
as we approach March. So take us through the player's mindset, Eric,
when I mean, because darn, neither team was really able
(25:22):
to get it going. And a lot of that speaks
to these or two you guys are two really good
defensive teams, but sort of what's the mentality about shots
you want to take, how you want to approach your
offense when you're going through a drought that's like darn
near half of the second half.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
Yeah, I mean it's hard. You know, we got a
lot of great looks as well, and they were just
simply not falling for us, which is you know, is fine.
We just had to find a way to just stay tough.
And I think our defense, health and us not turning
the ball over helped us a lot. I know we
got killed on the rebounds, and but it's still to
be able to, you know, win with limited turnovers. That
(25:56):
that was a big part of this game.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Kind of if you don't mind take us through that
final play. You know there's still seven seconds on the
clock when you decide to attack, kind of walk us
through what was said in the huddle, in the time
out and what the different options were that that you
had to kind of approach before you decided that that
was the path you were going to take to get
that game winning basket.
Speaker 4 (26:15):
Yeah, coach subbed me in, you know, with that with
that time left, and he told me to pop off
to the elbow, fake you off the DA and get
downhill to the left, and it worked exactly as plan.
I just knew I just had to get a shout off,
and I know we still had time to rebound the
ball if it was missed, so I just wanted to
get a quick shout off, and you know, I saw
(26:37):
the backboard and it's all me and it a little
good from there, so.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
And it was good. Eric Daly Junior joining us right
now on the Petrosen Money Show. You know last year
you were in still Water. That's a place we've all been,
I think, and you know you could see the whole
place if you stand on a tuna can is what
they say. Now you're posted out in Westwood with a
whole group of different teammates and a wild man and
as the head coach. How much of a change, How
(27:02):
much of a change is it for you? And how
hard is it to get acclimated so quickly? It feels
like you guys in college basketball don't have a lot
of time.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
Yeah, you know, Thomas out the essence for us, but
I feel like our team we came together quickly. Coaches then,
you know, preaching toughness with us and as a team
we just stay connected. You know, we've been doing all
the hard things as a team and just communicating and
knowing what's going on, and it's all helping us. Honestly,
(27:32):
even when we was going through the little drought we
went through. With those four games, we learned so much
about ourselves and as a team and what we can
be and our potential is is out this roof. You know.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
Coach Cronin has often said you're the hardest worker out
there on and off the court, on the on the team.
How did you develop that that work ethic? And does
that keep him from yelling at you.
Speaker 4 (27:59):
Alli. Honestly, I think I just love basketball so mudys
man like, like I grew up in the basketball family.
My mom and dad played and coached, and just you know,
I can't really not be around the game, and uh
from a from a basketball standpoint, just my work as
it came from just you know, being overlooked, uh some
(28:20):
most times in high school, you know, not having the
same exposure. So I had to work twice as hard, uh,
just to stay on point with my skills and everything.
And I feel like, you know, I'm not the only
one that works hard on this team. We are. We
have a team full of hard workers. I think. I
think it just stands out the coach, uh that dom
in the gym as much as I am, and uh,
(28:42):
you know, and be able to show up every day
as much as I do.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
So much was made eric about, you know, kind of
what coach was saying publicly to the media when you
guys were in the midst of that four game losing streak,
you know, coming off the Rutgers and the Maryland and
the Michigan, especially the Michigan game. Kind of how do
you take that as as a player, certainly, you know
the type of coach that that Mick Cronin is We
Love Me, comes on the show a lot, but kind
(29:06):
of walk us through what's going on in the in
the locker room and with you guys. When you see
that that he's decided to take those comments public.
Speaker 4 (29:14):
Yeah, you're talking about the soft of losing.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
No comment exactly that one exactly you got here.
Speaker 4 (29:20):
Hey, hey all, I gotta say it worked. It worked
for our team. At that point in time, we probably
was soft and delusional. I think, you know, I think
as a team, you know, we came together it was like, yeah,
we're tired of it, Like we're sick of losing. Uh,
we're sick of you know, people talking about us how
they do and honestly forget everybody that's not on our side.
(29:42):
And I think as a team, we just we just
came together and we was like, all right, let's let's
let's turn this thing around, and we're gonna have a
different attitude and we're gonna we're gonna be out there
and be dogs. So that's what we've been doing these
past these past games, and it's been helping us a lot.
And I love the mindset our team been having, you.
Speaker 3 (29:59):
Know, It's crazy for us, Eric, because it's we do
sports talk radio and it's Super Bowl week and usually
that dominates everything. We barely talk about. We're talking UCLA
basketball and obviously this big trade. I wouldn't bring it
up to you if if you didn't have Lebron and
Luka Doncic listed as the two guys that you model
(30:20):
your game after. Uh as a player. Uh, what was
your reaction to that trade? And and are you gonna
have time to to skulk on over to the Crypto
and watch those guys play?
Speaker 4 (30:31):
Yeah, I heard he played Thursday. I'm trying to go
see what that with that game had on. So I
want to see definitely want to see them. That they're
both on the same team now as my two favorite players.
It's it's kind of crazy. And we're all in the
same city, which is even more crazy. So uh, you
know they're they're close at home, and I'm I definitely
want to go to Crypto and see a game.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
Well, let's get some uh Eric Daily Junior analysis then,
because you know a lot of the talking heads out
there and we got real basketball analysis coming here now.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
We here we go in a podcast PODCASTNIS guys to
do podcasts and I amg.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
So let's say, what do you, Eric, what do you
make of the of the the idea that these two
guys might struggle a little bit to play together because
they do kind of the same thing. I mean, Lucas
Setti basically modeled this game growing up after Lebron.
Speaker 4 (31:21):
Yeah, you know, like any new team, they just they're
gonna find, you know, the camaraderiees And honestly, they're one
of the two their two greatest players in the in
the league right now, and they you know, as pros,
they'll figure it out. Of course, you know, Lebron is
unselfish and Lucas unselfish as well. So I feel like
they'll Joe off Joe together and make their team way better, honestly. Uh.
(31:46):
And yeah, I mean it's it's it's showtime for them. Honestly.
It's gonna be great watching them play on the court together.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
So let's say the Lakers reach out and they say, hey,
we got we got some tickets for you. We want
you to come to the game. Uh, and then when
you get there.
Speaker 4 (31:58):
You're there.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
Okay, It's it's not illegal, not illegal anymore. So, so
you show up and when you get there, there's a
table and they say, hey, here's the only catch. We
want you to wear one of these two if you
don't mind, because we're gonna put you on the TV.
Here and there's a Lebron jersey and there's a Luca jersey.
Which one you're gonna grab? Because you gotta grab one
in order to go in. You have to do which
which one of the two do you want to put
(32:20):
on to wear when you walk into your seats.
Speaker 4 (32:23):
Ah, this is crazy because I've been a Lebron fan
since I was born, so I'm definitely taking the Lebron
jersey roll with the new But hey, but to be
very I watched Luca where he was in when he
played for Real Madrid and when I was young. I
was young, I watched him when he was playing your
league still and that's kind of when I started to
(32:43):
fall in love with his game. So that would be hard.
But you know, I'm a I'm a Bron fan for sure,
so I'll definitely be waring that. Okay, what a question.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
Hey he answered it.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
We love that.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
I wonder he had a podcast.
Speaker 3 (32:54):
Real Answers Tunior is our guest su You know one
thing we've heard a lot of and you've been around,
you know, school in Florida and Oklahoma last year, but
being in the Big Ten traveling around seeing the Statue
of Liberty twice, Coach Prona tried to say, you guys
saw the Eiffel Tower. That was a lie. Uh how
(33:16):
hard has it been on you guys? It feels like
you guys have have reached a tough part of the
schedule and ground ground your way through it.
Speaker 4 (33:23):
Yeah, it's it's almost like an NBA schedule. Honestly, it's
just we got class and we got worried about school
while we're on these road trips and you know, the travels.
It's hard sometimes, but honestly, just getting us documented for
the professional lifestyle as a as a as players and
as young guys. You know, now we know what it now.
Now we know what the East Coast swing feels like
(33:44):
and being away for you know, X amount of days,
and honestly, it's tough. Everybody in the Big Ten is
going through it just because you know, we got some
teams on the West Coast and teams on the East Coast,
and some teams in the in the Middlewest. So you honestly,
hand all all time zones, and uh, it's hard to
get used to time changing like that when you're constantly
flying back and forth. So you know, it's just really
(34:06):
just trying to be the toughest team each night you
go out there and uh be as ready as possible.
So yeah, it's definitely tough, but you know, you can't
you can't change this casual.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
All right, last one for me here, Eric, We were
told about the podcast, so share with us. Do you
still do it or when you did it? Was it
just like a sports party? Was it like dollars with
Daily a finance podcast?
Speaker 5 (34:29):
Like?
Speaker 2 (34:29):
What was what was the deal with the podcast?
Speaker 4 (34:33):
Yeah? The podcast was Crossover with Ali e. So y'all,
y'all should know who Ali Gordon is. He was one
of the runs. Yeah, so me and me and Ali
we had a podcast last year what we bring different
sports on and we'll talk you know, how how certain
people got into their sport. We'll talk about you know,
(34:53):
just like the workouts they'll do. And honestly, it was
just like a space for athletes and I also with
the state to express themselves because I feel like a
lot of fans don't know a lot about athletes and
you know, their personal lives and their personalities. I really
wanted people to see the personalities of athletes and on that.
You know, we're serious when we're on the field, but
we're also fun people and you know when we're not.
(35:15):
And I think that was just like the great space,
a great space to do it on the podcast.
Speaker 3 (35:19):
I'm telling you, I mean you're gonna get some phone
calls after this. I tell you, I mean, knock down
the door radio. I mean, you got Oklahoma State to
you got all those weird wrestlers and golfers running around wild.
Uh yeah, yeah, Well, we appreciate you, Eric. It's great
to watch you guys have success. We love these UCLA
(35:41):
teams and this year's team has been especially fun to watch.
